The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

** HOUSTON WASJLEOTED MAYOR Scenes and Incidents of the Day. John Houston was elected mayor of the city of Nelson yesterday. This was accdmplished by the votes of 307 electors, as against the A*otes of 20(5 who voted for Frank Fletcher. The campaign on both sides was conducted with, most commendable y.eul, and when the polls closed there were not a dozen electors who had failed to register their votes. Each mayoralty candidate carried his homo ward, John Houston having a majority of 39 in the East ward to overcome the majority of 2S which Frank Fletcher secured in the West ward. Ex-mayor Neelands marked the closing days of his term of office by active partisanship. He entered into -tho light to such an extent that he nominated one candidate to succeed himself as mayor, and four, candidates for places at the next council board. His mayoralty candidate was defeated, and two of those whom he nominated for the council wont. with him. Of the other two Dr. Arthur secured a majority of thirty-three voles over Thomas Madden in the West 'ward; while C. Morrison holds third place from John A. Irving in the East ward upon the returning officer's rejection of a questionable ballot, the validity of which will doubtless be settled by a reference to the courts. 'In the East ward the supporters of candidate Houston polled their strength in the early part of the day, and when the work of counting the ballots was commenced the rival candidates ran upon even terms for the iirst 200 ballots taken out of the box. After the middle of tho day's voting was reached, however, Houston drew steadily away and pulled out with a majority of .if). The result of the polling in the East ward was : FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1900. PUBLISHED AT NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA. DAILY (BY MAIL) $5 A YEAR; WEEKLY, $2. John Houston .

Mr. lr\ ing will probably demand a recount,, and' in the event of the rejected ballot being allowed the returning "officer will be obliged to give a cabling vote between , the two candidates. There was a corresponding increase iu the vote of the West warn! as cam pared with the previous election, there being '__.'M votes cast for the mayoralty candidates tu*. against 1SI in .January, 1800. The most regrettable feature of the aldermanic content iii tho. West ward was the defeat of Thomas Madden. Although lie polled more \*otes in the ward than were secured by the head of the aldermanic ticket in 1899, he fell .'_������* votes- short of ejection.

' At 8 o'clock the polling booths were opened, and the fight was on in grim earnest. Cityclerk Stracha'n presided at tho West ward booth, with I.. .). Steele as his clerk, while magistrate Grease officiated as deputy returning officer for the West ward, with S. M. Brydges as clerk Fov a while the voters . drifted iiTsomewhat slowly, but shortly tlio campaigner:-, began to' show* their hands and busbies., brightened, with the returning officers.. About noon the gruatest rush was felt, ami later on, for . half an hour or so before the polls closed, ii number of citizens bustled in to record their votes. The streets were thronged from morning to night, though, strange to say, the crowd did not congiegate about the polling booths until later in the day when the result of the polling might be expected. Every Corner on Baker street had its group of interested citizens, numbering from one to two score. Among these the probable issue of the contest was eagerly canvassed and the pros and cons of the matter discussed with warmth. There was no disorder. While the fight was one of the greatest ever seen in Nelson, the rank and file among the contestants bore no ill will, and beyond a few arguments over wagers, the crowd might have been talking of a patriotic celebration. During the morning tlio followers of Mr. Fletcher loosened up their pursestrings and wagered money with a nerve which was (pate unexpected in. view of their astonishing caution in this respect prior to yesterday, and particularly on Wednesday night, when a fiue- . tooth comb would hardly have discovered a dollar of Fletcher money. One man alone carried $1200 in wagers deposited with him. The excitement got fiercer as the afternoon passed, and by 4 o'clock a general movement was made by" the crowds toward the polling booths. The announcement of the result in tho mayoral ty race was made first in the West ward booth. Soon after the figures from Wast ward were given out and the jubilation commenced. The supporters of Mr. Houston had worked throughout with implicit confidence in the result, yet the statement of the actual majority was the signal for the release of a tremendous volume of enthusiasm. Cheers resounded from one end of Baker street to the other, and at the victorious candidate's committee rooms broke all records. Volley ou volley of cheers followed each other, and iu the intervals for breath the workers grasped hands with a vigor which would have been painful under ordinary circumstances. The Houston supporters , celebrated their victory in fitting style.' Some with more enthusiasm than discretion started a tar-barrel at the corner of Baker and Josephine streets, which illuminated the streets for several blocks. Mayor-elect Houston appeared on the scene shortly after in a hack, accompanied by several of his supporters, and made a speech to the assembled crowd, but his remarks were drowned with the shouting and cheering of his supporters. The members of the smelter band took up a position on the Houston block corner, and the band of the Salvation Army on W. F. Teetzel & Co'.s corner, and alternately filled the air with music. Some time later a procession was formed and proceeded through the streets of the city with lighted brooms, cheering and shouting and having a good time generally. The enthusiasm did not spend itself until a late hour. It was a victory of the work- ingmen of the city and they made the most of it. Well-Known Conductor Killed. Montis fa..,, January If.���"Dick" llams- den, a well-known Grand "Trunk conductor, was killed in a rear end collision a few miles out of this city. FROM GOLDEN CAPE NOME A Pioneer Tells His Experience. F. W. Powers, a successful Cape Xomc miner,- is in the city on a brief visit. He ha- been interviewed since his arrival by a number of Nelsonites, and his report oi" the new bonanza country is such that, this city will probably be represented in the rush which is anticipated, a few months hence. * . Mr. Powers came out from the Cape on. October 22, He had intended wintering there, but was attacked with fever and dysentery and lefc to recuperate. He is interested in various claims, but places his principal expectations on twelve claims in the Fort York district, 110 miles north of Nome. These Yorke claims he believes will be spendid propositions, and he expects that countiy will pan out as well as the the territory immediately surrounding Cape Nome. When asked as to whether he recommended men to go to Nome in the spring, Mr. J'ow*' -ers-said.���" 1" would" not.-advise anyone one way or the other. It is a hard country, tho .summer sea-on being particularly trying, and a man takes long chance.", whetrhegoes in, but ou the other hand it offers greater prospects than any other district I know of, as the ground is certainly rich and therearemiles of territory which has'' never been prospected. Jn July a cold, wet, chilling rain falls and continues thioughout tho month, and August and September are pleasant enough, although the nights are always cold. The worst feature is .the water, tlio supply of which soaks into the moss during the rains and then oozes out laden with germs of disease. For a man going in the only way to make a strike is to go prepared to prospect with horses. Otherwise lie must pack his blankets and food over a country knee deep in moss and destitute almost of firewood, the result of wliich is that by the time he reaches likely ground his rations are half done and ho has to return or take chances on starving, f believe that the country will support incomers up to 2."5,000, between the work to be had and beach washing, which is open to all and cannot be staked. Newcomers mutt be well-heeled, however, for 1 anticipate that the scenes enacted in the early days of Dawson, when a man was nearly broke with $1000 GREAT BRITAIN AND AMERICA In Full Agreement Over Contraband. Washington, January 11.���The answer of the British government to Mr. Choate's representations respecting the seizure of American flour and other goods on the three vessels Beatrice, Mashona and Maria has been received. Just as the officials of the state department expected it amounted to a partial answer, very satisfactory as far as it goes, disposing of the character of the goods seized, but not fully decided whether or not food stuffs are to be regarded as contraband. The British governments adopts precisely the point of view regarding the seized goods that was assumed by the state department and embodied by Mr. Choate. in his note on the subject addressed to the British foreign office. The British government is investigating the facts in connection with the goods seized on the third vessel, the Beatrice. Mr. Choate's message embodied succinctly the authorities relied upon by the British government to sustain its' position, and as this position as already stated is one of those already assumed by the state depart-1 ment, of course they are regarded as con- -viivcing. For this reason, Mr. Choate's message is long and it was nearly noon before it could be deciphered and placed in secretary Hay's hands. It so happened that lord Pauucefote, the British ambassador, was with the secretary shoitly after he received his message and probably the subject was discussed by them. It is certain that the secretary and lord Pauucefote appeared! to be gratified at the progress made towards a settlement of the cases. I Later in the day the following official statement was given out by the state department : A telegram has been received from ambassador Choate reporting an interview he had with the marquis of Salisbury, on the, afternoon of the 10th instant, iu regard to the American shipments of flour and provisions on the detained steamers Beatrice and jtfashona and the Dutch steamer Maria. The British position as to food.., stud's and, hostile destination is- that they can only be considered contraband of war if supplied the enemy's forces, it not being sufficient that they are capable of being so used, but it must be, shown that this was their destination at the time of seizure. This qualification vir-, tunlly concedes the American contention that the goods were not subject to seizure and practically disavows the seizure, it not being claimed there is any evidence of hostile destination. Gold and Silver. 1-iU.iii.-i-iiii,' and Mining Journ.tl. Canada���This country now holds the fourth place and is becoming a gold producer of much importance, chiefly owing to the large production from the Klondike and other mines in the Yukon region, which amounted this year to about #1-1,000,000., The total production of Canada in 1890 was $18,040,59.'., showing an increase over I SOS of $*_,.'_ 10,.">0.*3, or' ���l!._7_pcr cent. Tn addition.to_ tluOLukon gold there "was an increase from British Columbia and some also from the miiie.*. of Western Ontario, while there was a small decrease fiom -the Nova Scotia mines. SOME DEALS ARE IN PROGRESS In the Slocan Country. New Denver, January IJ.���An important denj is expected to be consummated here next week, when a certain promising mining property will pass into the hands of the syndicate represented by Ernest Mansfield. If he succeeds in his negotiations the property will be energetically workecVwhich will mean a great deal for the town. . The January dividend of the Rambler- Cariboodias been duly paid, much to the .general satisfaction of the shareholders. * A carload of ore was shipped last week by thr*." .Bosun.' The returns from the previous ear, sent to tlio Hall Mines smelter, netted the company $1500 over all expenses���a striking illustration of the value of the property. John-Black, a resident of the town, has been temporarily appointed provincial policeman here, pending his official slating for the position. Special officer Ager has returned to SlocaTri City. Mr. Black is a Canadian, and his appointment is a popular one. The Black Prince will ship two more carloads of ore, a contract for the raw- hiding having been signed. Ore from the Arlington has commenced to .arrive at Slocan City for shipment, McMillan & Allen having the rawhiding3 contract. Half-a-dozen carloads or more will bo shipped. On the Chapleau it is stated ore is showing in all the principal workings, the full breast of the main drift being in mineral, with four feet in the winze. The Warner Miller people have another promising bonanza on Lemon creek iu the Kilo group. A good quality of ore is showing in each opening. Success is following the operations of the company throughout the Slocan. Rawhiders claim that the trails are in bad shape, owing to lack of snow. Ore shipments from the Slocan last week totalled up 190 tons. Domestic Relations Patched up. Chief Jarvisaliad quite an interesting case in hand yesterday. Early iu the morning a man. from Oregon ' approached r liitn and asked Ids assistance in a delicate maner. The Oregon mail's wife left her home" a few' months ago with another' party and took her three children along. The woman had written her husband from Spokane stating that she was not receiving good treatment and intimating that she was willing^ to return to his arms. The recreant wife and her paramour were located in Nelson, and chief Jarvis accompanied the husband to the house. Th6i chief remained outside, while the husband entered and confronted his wife and her companion. The latter was obdurate and several blows wore struck, the husband drawing blood. The matter ended* by the wife leaving with her forgiving husband. thrown ou the sad case. The clothes were removed from tho body, and will be . retained at the provincial police office on Ward street, where they 'may be seen on application to constable Kelly, the officer iu charge. The Silver King ��miue was communicated with in regard to the rumor that the dead man was a relative of one of their employees, but no confirmation could be obtained. The only theory now remaining is that the dead man's name is Kerlew, and further information on this point will doubtless be forthcoming shortly. OUTSIDE CONGEATULALIONS.

The success of John Houston in Nelson, for instance, was noted with special interest from recent suggestion of his name in connection with parliamentary representation of lite district. - In Vancouver the issue" was virtually Cotton versus Martin'and the reelection of mayor Garden by two hundred is taken as evidence of the continuing strength of the finance minister, notwithstanding his venturesome stand for principle against strongly supported local interest in Dead man's Island issue. No significance is attached to the defeat of major Redfern by alderman Hayward in . this city, except that.it was a rebuke to a good man for indiscretion in offering himself once too often, Redfern having been mayor for three years in succession. Thero are- fresh rumors of trouble in the government ranks which, in the absence of any word from the members mentioned, are given for what they are Avorth. It is stated that Wells and Ralph Smith are so disaffected that had the vote been taken yesterday, the government might have been without their support.

A litliiitjer of the eitiJi .us are mourning over the defeat c f their c.indidate for mayor, and a larger number are very properly .���jubilant over the fact that their ballots were not wasted. .No material difference existed between the platforms of candidate Houston and candidate Fletcher. The people of Nelson had only to decide upon whom they considered the best man to guide tho destinies of the city. They have decided, and John Houston, printer, is mayor of Nelson. Everyone will agree to sink all the bitterness of the contest from now on and pull one and all for the progress of the metropolis of the Kootenays. Till- honorable Joseph Martin is an individual, nothing more. He has not reconciled his late opponents and he has alienated all his friends. His fulminations in the legislature are consequently without weight or influence. He. has contrived in a very short space of time to put a complete end to his political career, an end which is neither touching nor dignified. He has proved himself true neither to his principles, his friends, his enemies nor himself. John Houston, now mayor of Nelson, desires to thank those citizens who gave him their support in the late contest, not only those to whom he is known personally, but the many who voted for him whom he does not know personally. He is pi-ptafei-��)-t. the'lul7poi,tr_-e receivetkUi. all sections of the town and from all classes of the community. The measure of his gratitude will be the success of his administration. Concerning tho timber selected for the incoming council it is not necessary to say anything. The candidates in the field were all strong men, and the new council will be a strong one. THE BEAUTY PATCH. is a gay sta- city, a stone's' The Saint-Lazare station tion, in the heart of the throw from the Opera and the boulevard, twenty minutes from the ftois de*Boulogne. 1 n the waiting-room, the Hall of the Lost Footsteps, lined up before the booking-offices or seeking quern devoreut, there are always a lot of pretty girls, with extravagantly yellow hair crowned by marvelous hats. They walk down the Hue d'Amsterdam, their noses in the air,' striking*the echoing kerbstones with their little high heels, and generally carrying small leather bags���supposed to give them a countenance. "What* a countenance! Hence, trips to Saint-Germain or Versailles, starting from the above-mentioned gay station, are true pleasure trips, yesterday 1 was obliged to go to .Versailles, and profiting by my experience��� in garrison there for several years���1 strolled up and down, inno haste to choose my compartment. The railway carriages standing high above the level of the platform, the women passengers have to practice regular gymnastics to' get aboard, and there are, .therefore, all sorts of picturesque sights to be seen, not to speak of services to be rendered. For the la't- .te_llim_'ppse,_ yie_b_est_ thing_ to__do is to_ stand .opposite, the revolving platforms. They make the steps at least a foot higher ���enough to make one quite dizzy climbing iii. J was on the lookout for a pretty fellow-traveler. I might even say that I had the embarrassment, of choosing; it almost looks as if the Western Company has" the monopoly of good-looking ticket- holders. Hut alas! Not one of them "was alone; Naturally,! avoided cavalry officers, they all go the terminus of the line. The infantry add to the chances of a tete- a-tete, for thoy generally get oil at Gout--, bevoie, Saint-Cloud, or Villcd'Avray.- As to 'the' artillery���that's a risk to run; there is a battery at Suresnes, but there are two regiments at Versailles as well. , 1 was at this stage of perplexity- when, in one of" the last of tho first-class compartments, 1 caught sight of a pretty brunette���to be classified- among the piquanto brunettes���velvety eyes, fringed with long lashes, a faintly shadowed upper lip, and above the left corner of the mouth���a souvenir of a by-gone cen- tui y���a dainty little black patch that our gallant ancestors would have called killing. She wore a maize-colored ben- galine bodice, trimmed with guipure; on her head was perched a big hat with outspread white wings, that made her look like a Valkyrie���but a gay, not a warlike one. Beside her was seated a large, eldeily gentleman, with big moustaches, a decoration in his button-hole; he had a military air aud imposing eyebrows, and was reading the paper. But, from time to time, he raised suspicious eyes on her- the eyes of a proprietor defending his domain. The-husband, evidently... I got into the carriage, and seated myself discreetly opposite the pair, but in the fai" corner. -Although I had made a slight bow on entering, 1 'did .not have the good fortune to claim the lady's attention ; she., seemed preoccupied; and kept her head ont of the 'window,, as if she were expecting some one. The nms- tached gentleman, however, returned my bow most politely. He was no doubt obliged to me for having lefb the seat opposite him unoccupied. At the moment the train was starting, a handsome, blonde young fellow, carrying a brief-case under his arm, sprang inside breathlessly. He rapidly exchanged a smile of intelligence with the lady, and then sat down opposite her, knee to knee. I'Look sharp !" I said to myself, this is going to turn out interesting." Naturally, the big, elderly man, absorbed in his paper, had noticed nothing. The whistle sounded, tho train started, and the fair young man, no doubt to appear occupied, began to turn the leaves of the voluminous document in tho leather case. But every now and then he raised his eyes, and then it was easy to see that the lady with the patch smiled at him imperceptibly. It. would have been impossible to be more imprudent, and this "little manoeuvre, barely concealed, ran a great risk of being discovered by the man with the terrible eyebrows. - My soul is instinctively lenient "to human weaknesses, and at the bottom of my heart I always find a secret pleasure on learning that the corporation of husbands counts one more victim. So, as far as was possible, I decided to come to the assistance of the sweethearts by attracting the attention of the husband. Seizing the first slight pretext, 1'engaged him in conversation. As we approached Asnieres, I uttered a reflection that suddenly passed through my mind: "To think that that bridge was- cut in 1S70! "What was the good of it, pray, with Mont-Valerieii just opposite?" '���It was idiotic," returned the decorated gentleman. "At that time 1 was ou the staff of admiral La Ronciere Le Noury. You have no conception, sir, of all the mistakes that were committed during the siege of Paris. Just fancy " Here the big man obligingly changed ^v'eT_i_*t;P-i.j_e eorner seat, to be ncftfei* me, leaving Tiie' pretry -brniTe opposite the fair man; and he went on Avith his course in tactics, with broad gestures, pointing out to me "die magnificent horizon, the Seine like a silver ribbon at the foot of the green slopes of Courbevoie, and, far in the background, Paris, with its houses and its monuments, among wliich stood out the gigantic silhouette of the Arc de Triomphe, dishonored by scaffoldings, and the gilded dome of the Iuvalides. '��� Remember,"-continued the decorated gentlemail, "that we were occupying the region near Clicliy." ' . But I hardly heard him, for I saw* with terror that, profiting by my manteuvre, our two lovers had begun to whisper in smothered tones. The brief was. still spread out on the young man's knees, for the looks of the thing, but it was easy to see that he no longer even cast it 'glance at it. And the brain sped along, and the .soldier, absorbed by his memories; went oil with his discourse on military history that I feigned to listen to most devoutly, "so as to draw his' attention to the leftside of the line. . ��� - . We reach Sain .-Cloud; we enter tiie tunnel, and in the pitch darkness, on my word, I would swear that I heard the sound of a kiss. When1 we ni-Ji- out again into the light, I cast a . glance at the fair-haired man, who is once more deeply absorbed in his case. What do I make put on his left nostril but a fuuny little black spot. Sapristi! It is the patch, the killing patch, that in a thouglitless contact has loosened and passed from the lips of the dark beauty to the nose of her admirer. I foresaw a terrible tragedy," for my tacticiairturned"a" questioning aiRl suspicious look upon tho lady, as if he had .found something altered in her appearance, lie hardly know what. 1 would have given worlds* to have been able to whisper to the good-looking young man: " For heaven's Sake,-remove that compromising patch at once, or you are betrayed! " Unfortunately it was. quite out of the question, seated as I was at a distance.- So it seemed wiser to recall tho officer's thoughts to the war of 1S70, and the heights of Viroflay. But lie no longer paid any heed to inc. He chuckled in ,a minister way behind his fierce mustache, gazing at the be-patched nose of- the fair young man. , Am for the woman, crimson, overcome' with terror, she began to fan herself -violently���a most distressing sight. What was going to happen ? What terrible sentence was the implacable judge going to pronounce on the guilty wretches cowering beneath his gaze? Was I going to be obliged to look on, in this narrow railway carriage, at a challenge, a boxing-match, perhaps a butchery, a massacre ? Suddenly, to my intense relief, I caught sight of the three yew-trees, trimmed into sugar-loaf shape, that guard the entrance into the grand monarch's town ��� a guard called out " Versailles ! Versailles!" The train stopped. I got out, determined to stick to the officer to see what would happen.

Tlicrc arc signs in the news I'roni Hie .scat ot" war in South Africa that "lli<_ British bayonet" is not yet by any m-'aiis pusfc its deadly usefulness. At JMafekin^, the desi-atclies say, one night attack upon tiie besiegers' trenches, delivering a dose of "cold steel" when darkness prevented the Boer riflemen from shooting with good effect, was of the greatest service in preventing a close advance of the parallels. There is a story, too, which is probably mythical in itself, but equally probably based on general facts, that, in an attack on the trenches somewhere near tlio scene of Buller's recent defeat a cry of "Fix bayonets and give them cold steel!" had more effect, upon the defending party than many rounds of Lee-.Met- ford ammunition would have had. If the Boers, brave enough, as everyone admits, in what Kentuckians call a '"shooting scrape," fight shy of the bayonet, it is all the less to be wondered at, as they themselves appear to bo unprovided with any such weapon, and are certainly not, as the British infantryman is, trained to its use. Since the Crimean War the opinion that the bayonet lias had its day has gained ground. Considering the enormous increase in the range and power of rifles since that time, it is rather wonderful that any one should think otherwise. But history has been for from unanimous on his point; in fact, it has been self-contradictory, just as it has been in tho matter of the sabre for the cavalryman. There must have been little or nothing, ��� for instance, in the scone ut the Turkish trenches before Plevna to remind the Avar coiTrfspondeiits who Avatched and recorded ib that thi_ was not a battle of tho old heroic niiui-to-miin period. These correspondents told how, as the victorious-, l.iis- hiiui infantry approached the Avorks, firing and receiving the Tui-kHi fire, a long line of red-capped, loose trousered, demon.* sprang up from within the bi'cast- avo -ks, and, whirling their rifles aloft Avith u yell of "Alia il' Alk.h." came doAvn on the Muscovites at the old-fa*-hk>ncd "charge."

The history of infantry fighting sums up something like this: First, the Macedonian phalanx, Avith long lances; then the Roman legion, Avith short, stout spear; then an interval, of say, tAvelve centuries, during most of which the mounted man had tilings all his own way ; then the two hundred years beginning about 1550, Avhen the Spanish "infanteria" Avas considered irresistible by rea*_on of its pikes, which Avere, practically, the l.oinan ������pil.-_"; then the introduction of the matchlock, and Avith it a threat of an end to all '"close quarters" as early as the sixteenth century. But some French or Spanish soldier Avhoso name has been forgotten, hit upon the brilliant idea that these neAvfangled machines might bo converted into honest pikes occasionally by simply sticking the butt of a dagger into the muzzle of the matchlock. This scheme seemed to work well for half a century, until it AA'as generally felt that if the firing of a matchlock Avas to become other than a long and deliberate ceremonial, as seemed to be probable Avich the improvements thtit Avere coming from Nuremburg, the corking and uncorking of the barrels would have to be obviated in some Avayor other. The Ring Bayonet. In 10S9 general Mackay introduced among his infantry the ring bayonet. The name of the weapon has been connected Avith Bayonne, the French seaport. As a matter of fact, '"bayona" and "bay- oneta" are Spanish words, and mean neither more nor less than '"sticker" and "little sticker." But the etymology of the Avoid did not trouble the British infantry Avhom it helped to raise to the topmost place among the troops of Kuropo iu the period from 1703���the date Avhen Wai.ba.ii introduced the socketed bayonet in the armies of Che Great Monarch��� to the middle of the present century. The transition from ring to socket Avas a perfectly natural one. The two rings in the earlier Aveapon were merged into a sort of, tube fitting on the end of the musket barrel. The blade AA'as connected with. this tube by a btout neck, so as to leave it clear of the bullet's path when the gun. AA*asdischarged. In order to give the blade greater strength it Avas made triangular in'-seetion. Finally this triangular blade was hollowed out to make it as light as possible and so reduce to a minimum its disadvantage as a Aveightat the end of the piece in filing. 1_.i_iTi__.ji Bayonets Today. Thus Avas evolved the form of bayonet Avhich is today the conventional idea of it entertained by uninformed civilian minds. It Avas this form that Avas used in the Peninsular War, Avhere more than at any other time or in any other part of the Avorld the bayonet Avon its fame.

McGlellau wrote the manual of bayonet exercise, which was the authorized text book for the army at the beginning of the Civil War. It is interesting now to the lay reader chiefly on account of the elaborately minute instructions on position, in those days much stress was laid upon the effectiveness as a military spectacle of a large body of men going through the bayonet exercise. Mc- Clellan's book is now obsolete, and bayonet drill in the United States army has taken the form of an athletic exercise, like boxing, carried on with bayonets made safe by pads attached to the points. In the British army, lo judge by the complaint of a recent writer in The United Service Review, the idea of bayonet exercise as an affair of parado ground display has prevailed until recently, though many commanding officers have worked hard, aud, it seems, with some success, to substitute for the formal parade drills of companies and battalions man to man contests with blunted weapon.*., small prizes being given to the victors. General McClellan, it must be said, contemplated the same practice. In his "Manual" there are plates, curious enough to look at after the lapse of half a century, showing infantry of that period wearing the padded "plastron" to protect the body, aud going through with what look to the eyes of this generation like A*ery stagey movements, with specially made whalebone bladed bayonets. The whalebone blades are made detachable from the hilt of the bayonet, so that a blade broken by a "palpable hit" can be replaced. In the article in The United Service Review, already mentioned, the writer evidently takes the view that the day of the bayonet is by no means past. The "trowel bayonet," designed by colonel Rice in the seventies, Avith the idea of furnishing the infantry soldier with a convenient and ever ready intrenching tool, was never a success, iu a practical sense. The idea of it, however, serves to show how little importance was attached to the bayonet as a weapon twenty-five years ago. But since that time the bayonet has been gradually improved up to the preseent form of a broad bladed knife, attached by a string below the barrel of the rifle to which it adds less than one pound in weight and about twelve inches in length. A NOTABLE SECT. Shiloh, IMaine, is the seat of a remarkable sect. New England is prolific in .sects. The number of religious organizations which spring up there flourish for a while and then pariS out of existence is legion. J��V\v of .them reach the prominence of that now under consideration. It is known by the rather extraordinary name of "The Holy Ghost and Us Society." To many people this will savor of the irreverent, and they -will expect the members of the organization to be a lot of irresponbible folk; but if the accumulation of valuable assets is, in this -sphere of activity, us valuable an indication of merit as it is in others, the sect must have some good points about it, Rev. Frank "W. Sandford is at the he.' d of the sect. He used to be the pastor ( f a church somewhere in ^Xew-ITainpshire, but we do not know what denomination he belonged to. lie is spoken of as having left his parish, aud so presumably he was associated with the Episcopal chinch, which we think is' the only ecclesiastical body in the United States using that expression.

Jefyn \9sj&i i Ag^fc the least idea where he was going or what he would do. This was seven years ajo. He has never since asked an individual for money, trusting to voluntary contributions, but he has managei to erect a magnificent temple at Shiloh. a structure resembling an enormous summer hotel, a magnificent stone building for children, and a $25,000 hospital for the treatment of the sick by simple trust in the power of God. Naturally the remarkable success of this movement has attracted a great deal of attention, so much so that the postal authorities have been compelled to establish a special post office at Shiloh for the use of the association, and the mail brings daily hundreds o' letters asking for information about the work. During the last few weeks a new impetus has been given to the sect by what i.. alleged to have been the resurrection from the dead of _\liss Olive A. Mills in response to the prayer of Mr. Sandford. There seems to be no doubt that Miss Mills was supposed by every one to be dead, and that she had been restored to health and strength. Mr. Sandford says that he did not restore her that is that he did Hot exercise any power possessed by himself. He states that he prayed earnestly beside her supposed corpse, and that an inspiration came to him to command her to live again: that he did so aud she was restored to life. Miss Mills herself in her written desciiption of her experience says she was dead, that she k lows she was dead, that her personality was severed from her body and was traversing what she describes as resembling a long tunnel leading to a light, when she heard the command to return aud that she did return and entered again into the body, which at once resumed its natural functions. It is the easiest thing in the world to dispose of the story by saying that Mr. Sandford and Miss Mills are acting in collusion; but this does not account for the immense temple, the spacious children's home and the fine hospital. Mr. Sandford says that is all due to faith. Miss Mills gives expression to the sententious phrase that "faith is fact." Except for the alleged resurrection there is no material difference between what is being done at Shiloh and George Mailer's remarkable work at Bristol. About twenty-five years a Dr. Cullis maintained an institution iu Boston, Mass., where remarkable cures were performed, and all the money, of which a great deal was required, came in through voluntary contributions in answer to prayer. Therefore as much inclined as we will all be to reject the story, of .the resurrection of Miss Mills,-we must shut our eyes to some undeniable and very substantial facts when we refuse to believe that A'ery remarkable things can be accomplished by those Avho trust in faith only. .Mr. Sandford say*.,that he is unable to understand why the promises in the gospel of what may be done by faith should have less force now than at the time they avci'c made, and Avhen you come to think about it you Avill be disposed to admit that he puts the burden of proof upon those who allege that there Avas a time limit to the efficacy of those promises. The future of "The Holy Ghost and Uu Society"' AvilL be AVatched with very considerable interest. w ��fi__:_fe' ���r^.&J.&^c^'&.'&.-a'���(=>'���(, m All Nice Xraas Presents w Meeting of Parliament.
