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.

NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 30, Li�� WEEKLY EDITION: SEVENTH YEAR-NO 8 Y x\ A VERY QUEER TBAHSAOTIpM No Such Disbursement Was Made. ���In the public accounts lor the year ending June 80 r li, J SOS, is an item of $32fi8.00 disbursed for the sanitary, improvement' of Nelson. No such disbursement was made. In the fall of 1S1H5, sanitary inspector Olive Phillips-Woolley recommended lliat a sewer be laid along Ward creek, aud the pipe therefor was sent up from Victoria.' It was received by Turner, Beeton &, Co., and piled up alongside the track of the Nelson & l-^orc Sheppard railway, where u portion of it remains to this flay. Premier Turner and attorney- general Eherts, when the question, of in- oorpuratinu Nelson was before the legislative assembly, both w<jre very emphatic in iheir refusal to turn the pipe over to ihe city, when asked that favor, saying thatthe people* of Nelson had cut loose from the provincial govcrnmeutand muse 'pay its own way. This was in March, LSfl7. During tlie fall of 1807 and the spring of ]S0S, the City, of Nelson purchased and paid for part of the pipe, but the manager of Turner, Beeton & Co's house at. Nelson always said, on making the sales, thatthe pipe was sold on provincial government account. It is not unlikely then that the proceeds oflhe sales were t tuned over to the provincial treasury. But, one-thing is certain, not one dollar of the three thousand and odd dollars claimed to be so expended, was ever expended in-either the town or the city of Nelson. Heinze May Take a Hand. The Boundary Creek section of southern Yale has large bodies of low-grade ore. The ore will not stand a Jong-distance transportation charge, and the question of where the ore will be smelted is one of considerable importance. The Canadian Pacific is the chief factor in the problem just now. Later on no doubt a road will get in from the American side which will proceed lo be an active competitor of the Canadian system. Whether this American road will be built by D. C. Corbin or somebody else is not yet known. The matter will probably be set- t.led,at the coming session of parliament. It is understood that Mr, Corbin will again ask "for ihe-ebai'ter which was re- "lnsed him last spring. ��� If he should do so his" chances of success will be much betfter_no donbt-tlniu...tiaoy we're before, i'or many who were- opposed to the Corbin charter have changed their- minds, and now believe some competing line of road should be allowed to come im F. Aug. Heinze may appear on the scene with a phin for a railroad in the Boundary .country with Ameiican connections. Ii is^aid lie has associated himself with au American company for this purpose, and that the plan includes a line from some point onthe Washington Central railway, thence up the Snn Poil to Republic, aud frouuthence to Midway, Greenwood, and other Boundary points. Mr. Heinze is known to have made a large sum of money lately through fortunate dealings in the shares of the Butte <fc Boston company of ButLe Montana, and as he is on very friendly terms with Mr. Blair, minister of railways, and as ho now has a light on with tlie Canadian Pacific owing to disagreements over the sale of tlie Trail smelter, it is not at all unlikely that he will be heard fiotn in this direction. The Grew to be" Picked Men." If the Shamrock��� is-beaten in the contest for the Ainarica's1. cuij. it is be^ cause the Yankees will have a better boat, not a better crew. Sir Thomas Lip- fOn has given carte blanch to captain Hogarth to pick out and ship on the Shamrock the best crew he can find in the Bi'ir.ish islands, "Get the men you want; the men yon know to bo good sailors. Pay them anything within reason," was, in efftfef, the owner's orders to his captain. Hogarth has already secured captain Wright for second captain of the Shamrock. Wright commanded the. famous flyer Ailsa, and jie knows the -racing waters on this side as well as a woodsman knows his' w'ay home. Ro^'e will be the ehalloupfer's fust mate, a.s he was of the Britannia, and his Seamanship did much to win the many traphies of which the prince of Wales is so proud. Steam Boilers to be Inspected. Premier Semiiii has introduced a bill respecting the inspection of steam boilers. It is not intended to apply to railway locomotives or boilers subject to inspection under the laws of the parliament of Canada. The lieutenant-governor in council may constitute such portions of (he province .as he may think proper into steam boiler inspection districts and appoint inspectors for such districts. Inspectors shall.be authorized to charge a fee of $5 for the inspection of each single boiler and its steam connections, and shall grant a certificate of inspection, which shall be kept posted up in a conspicuous place on the boiler or in the engine room where such steam boiler is being nperated. Black Wateli Captain Dead. W. D. Inverarity, who has been a resident of Spokane for the last three years, died there last Friday night, after an illness lasting two months. Inverarity was a Scotchman by birth, and was formerly a captain in the famous regiment of the British army known as the Black Watch. A number of years ago he. resigned from tlie army, after long service in India and went to South America, where he engaged in sheep ranching. From there he went Railroading Under Difficulties. [Kernie Free Press, January 10th.] A Crow's Nest Pass track-lifting gang of about SO have been in town for the past few days. They have beeu working on the snowdrifts between here and Mac- leod, where engines JOS and 180 were dilched.

Alderman Fletcher this morning re-, ceived a communication from George T. Grieve of Quinn, Ontario, who is anxious to establish another industry in this city. Mr. Grieve's hobby is a hennery, and he desires to learn from the chairman of the public works committee the prevailing price in Nelson of hens and hen's eggs. An Opening for a Packing Box Factory. There is a sufficient demand in Nelson for packing boxes to justify the Operation of a box factory, and with the gradual centering of wholesale houses here, the trade will grow. As matters stand at present houses needing boxes are obliged to ship the same in from the coast. This necessity should not be allowed to remain. A Lucky Bast Kootenaian. F. B, .Fenwick and wife of Fort Steele, who have been stopping at the Phair for the past few days, left on Saturday, for a two-week's trip to California. Fen wick is regarded as one of the luckiest men iu East Kootenay. Some time ago he sold a ranch which he had for $300, and agreed to sake 800 shares of stock in the Crow's to Lo�� Angeles, and later to Seattle, engagimr in real estate speculation.

The following letter appears in the Winnipeg Free Press of the 25r-h instant. If the writer of the letter had his way, Canada would not be a free country: ��� Winnipeg, January 24th, 1S99. To (lie Editor of the Free Press ���Sir: Last Sunday morning as people were congregating to the different churches I noticed three young fellows, ranging in ages from 13 to 20, proceeding southward on Donald street below Portage avenue with hockey sticks in their hands evidently going to some rink for skating and practicing ��� at hockey. It may be that ��� hey may have been going to some open rink but it may be that they were going to some one of our covered rinks.' It surely cannot be that any of these covered rinks, being as they are in the nature of a public- institution, will allow Sunday skating or Sunday hockey playing. If they do the people of our city who strongly object to this being done should know of it and should set their faces not only against such a practice but also against the institution that tolerates it. The matter should be an issue between any rink1 tolerating such a practice and the people who think such a practice should not exi^t in our city and then the question will be whether it will pay to carry on on Sunday in our city the practice of the hockey playing in any of our rinks that depend on the public for patronage. A. B. C. Hopes it Will Be Successful. Paul Johnson, under whose superintendence the Hall Mines' smelter was built and first operated, writes as follows from Aguascalientes, Mexico, under date of, the' 12: h instant, to the editor of The Tki- J?ltne:, "I-see from your paper that the.. :HH]i~MUies-are"going'"in'tor custom smelting and hope they will make a great success of ir,�� benefiting not only themselves but also the city of Nelson audits inhabi-- tahts.

The election last July decided the fate a government. The Turner government was defeated, ancl the leader of the opposition was, called on to form a government. That government has been formed, and the member for the Nelson riding- of West Kootenay district was selected to take the portfolio of minister of mines and provincial.secretary. That government has now a good working majority in'the legislative assembly, a majority that is likely to be increased at bye-elections. The material interests of this riding can be affected by hostile legislation or by the acts of an uufriendly government. With the powerful rivals that she has, can the people of this riding afford to place their material interests in jeopardy ? Would not the return of an opposition member invite unfriendly acts from the government in power, and would it not place a club in the hands of our rivals ? These are questions that should be carefully considered by the There is but one principle involved, that is, electors of the riding, self-preservation. ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ���m' ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft the Popes Funebres, who had not been apprised of what was to happen, the funeral cortege started for the cemetery to the strains of tho "Chant "du Depart;" polkas and mazurkas followed, and the service was wound up with a rendering of the "Marseillaise."

The Deal is Passed Up to Sailor Sharkey. Bob Fitzsimmons, says the New York Evening Telegram, is coming in for some severe.criticism on account ot his "dictation as to "what shall and what shall not be if he consents to meet Tom Sharkey. In brief here is what Fitzsimmons, who is .- A challenge from Sharkey andr his; money covered. . Consideration Sharkey. Will fight under any other management than Lennox Athletic club. Will waive right to a. finish insists upon 25 rouuds or more, wordsthe fight must continue man is defeated. - Will waive right to side bet. Will give Sharkey two weeks to reply to this offer. In event of no answer will meet any man in the world in a glove contest. There is no reason why Sharkey should not challenge Fitzsimmons if he wants to meet the Australian. ��� This would cost him nothing except the posting of $2,500 to injure a meeting. That Fitzsimmons is the recognized champion in the pugilistic sense is positive. Sharkey's questionable decision over him in San Francisco counts for nothing in the estimation of the public, especially als Wyatt Earp, the referee of that affair, .has since admitted that he hadLftohtraated_:tQ-d^^^r^a';,n things Jut'lia contest, which he lived up to strictly and is now sOrry for. His objection to fighting iii the Lennox club is in order, for he and O'Rourke have been enemies for some years. There is no. just reason why a, champion should not watch his own interest, especially where he considers his chances pi' fair play jeopardized. There is no excuse for Sharkey being hampered with a side bet, since that cnids- tion is waived, and- there is no, reason ��vhy articles of agreement should not read ''25 rounds or more," just as easily as "25 rounds limit." The two vyeeks allowed for a reply is sufficient for a pugilist to make up his mind whether he wants to fight Or hot, It is not necessary to fight for some time afterwards. ; % That FitzsimmOns is willing to hght goes without saying, for his defi to meet any man in the world if Sharkey refuses, is sufficient guarantee of good faith. It is now up to Sharkey to say something. Another School Wanted. A petition is being circulated for signatures asking the provincial department of education to establish a school in the eastern part of the town. The petition sets forth that east of Cedar street, including the Hume addition and Bogus- town, there are over 00 children of school age, tlie majority of whom are debarred from attendance, owing to the distance to the present school. It will be presented to the city council this evening for endor- sation. An Irish Dividend.

THE FUNERALS OF CRANKS. Curious and Astounding Ceremonials That are Held Over Queer People. Some time ago, in accordance with the wishes of a steamship captain, who with his last breath expressed a desire that his body should be cremated, and the ashes- buried at sea, his'widow had the body so treated, the ashes iu the vase being conveyed to a point off the Highland Lights, , w_b ere _ the__buri al_leerei.n on.v_ tnnk_i.il�� m- AtteiTthe service and a brief address from the clergyman, the vase was uncovered and lowered hito seven fathoms,of water. It-is wonderful how many people'.make arrangements-for the interment of their bodies, and very curious are some of the conditions ,they lay down for the ceremony,- Last February a man named Huebler had' an accident ^ which necessitated the removal of his legs; when he recovered sufficiently to take aninterest in such "things, nothing would satisfy him but that his lost members should be buried with-proper rites. Although he was unable to attend half of his owu funeral, his friends were, and after the ceremony they came back to tell him how it had passed off. About eighteen months ago a remarkable funeral took place at Northampton, where a workman expressed a wish that the service should be conducted in the street near his houso door, in order that tho-=e who knew him should know iu what faith he died. The service took place, in the presence of several thousand, people, and; was performed by a pasj^ grand chaplain of thg^GoOcL 'TempIarsr^tvssisLed- by-auensigu of the Salvation Army. In: the course of last year, at the express desire of the deceased, the cremated remains of chaplain Elliot Bay! ey of Ex mouth were laid to rest in the same grave as a favorite dog of his, of whom he was exceedi ngly: fond,. When the dqg���a Scotch collie���died, the captain had him buried in his own gai:dent and upon his grave erected a monumental stoned, to which wfis affixed a portrait of the animal, with an inscription to the effect that he had been "a -true, faithful, holiest, and loving friend," who was "sorely missed and bitterly mourned." But eveil more curious were the directions left by Clement SpUimra of Narbtirgb, \Vho left instructions that he was to be buried upright in one of the pillars .of Narburgh church, which instructions were duly carried on1.; or those of Mr. Amborji, who died tit Peabody last March, and whoso monument, by" his own desire, bore the inscription "Amborn���Amdead." The* Chinese accompany a burial with a work display, and pour gin over lite deceased's last resting place from a watering can; but when, at a military funeral at Whittington Hear Lichfield, last November, a man present sprinkled a bottle of whiskey Over the coffin, he was charged at the police court with indecent behaviour. However, when he explained that his action was prompted by the special request of the dead man, the case was dismissed. There have lately been three interments in France to which the paradoxical description of "gay funeral" has been applied. In the first instance, that of an eccentric and elderly widow who, having provided for her funeral expenses, rail rapidly through her modest fortune, and then committed suicide, the town band, which was hired for the occasion, saluted the corpse with a merry hunting chorus, and continued with lively dance strains, to the accompaniment of which the body was lowered into the grave. In another instance, that of Mr. Freret, who left in his will directions how his. funeral should' be carried out, the black-bordered, invitations to the interment bore upon them the titles of the airs to de heard at the funeral of the deceased octogenarian. To the intense surprise of the master of the ceremonies, sunt by They are More Valuable Shan Either Gold or Silver Mines. The official figures of the copper production of the United States shows that there was an output from the Montana, Lake Superior and Arizona localities which exceeded that of 1897 by over 18,000 tons of copper. At the close of the year, notwithstanding the larger production, visible supply was almost exhausted, both in this aud other countries. Mr. John Stanton, the statistician of the^copper manufacturing industries, in discussing the situation, takes the view that higher prices must come, and that still greater' iucrease of production will be necessary to meet the growing demands. He says: "While the production of copper for 1S98 shows'considerableincrease over that of 1S07, and is by far the largest production ever made in this country, the consumption has also been very large, especially since the close of hostilities with Spain. Stocks in Europe as well as in the United States at the close of the war were unusally low, there being practically none in sight. As a result copper has been making very rapid advances, and it has 6een .rather hard to keep track of it for the past two weeks or so. I should say that 16 cents is a fair price for copper today, and that represents the highest figure reached in many years. Consumption is so large that it looks, too, as it a higher figure will be obtained. , - r " "The peculiarity of- copper's position is that during the last few years of depres- sian the production- ha's constantly been increasing, and jret consumption had carried it all-off. .-European stocks have ,_. . _ "-* ~v*7r-y have reached the lowest point ever known. - The electrical industry is \v very important factor in the copper business, ancl its need of copper is growing-greater". Wherever railway or other construction" is going on there is always a large demand for copper in the form of brass and .a variety .of other articles. And as the electrical business .advances by leaps and bounds it is ho easy matter -to = tell what quantity of copper will in this way be absorbed. Now that a betterment in business generally is being felt," a-great stimulus has been given to theopeningof new mines and the development of copper properties. It is apparent that the existing mines have not. capacity to furnish the quantity that will be needed .in the" near future. Companies with good prospects of becoming producers find that their shares are eagerly sought after in the general belief that copper mining will be profitable. "Tt is true a good deal has beeu said on the copper combination. It is certain that: a.-cpnibination of certain- interests niay be eSffected1, but as to the combination of all tlie producers, that is oit,t^ftjre =cruestiQrir^Sbme^g^roiips^ohpin^s"havre~a_ tendency to consolidation, being owned and controlled by practically the same men, but where interests are very d'tsr tiiict it would be diOicult to arrive tit any basis, by which consolidation; could be carried Out equitably. In my judgment there is no foundation' for stories of a, general copper trust or combination. At present there i�� no .difficulty in selling copper at good prices. Everything that is offered is eagerly taken up. Those who have it bo sell must look ttppo the outlook, as highly encouraging." At an Old Game. Candidate Farwell, aMompanietl by W, A. Macdonald and D. M. Carley, is making a personal house-to-house eauvas foi' votes.

The Colonist also makes a strong attack on Joseph Martin, hinting that he is posing as a moralist, when his conduct warrants the belief that he is very much otherwise. Richard Hall, a strong Liberal who is running on the Turner ticket in Victoria, majie a statement on Saturday evening that the Semlin government had failed to befriend workingmon, having quit work on the parliament building grounds, and failed, owing to niggardliness, to put men on to sweep snow from the roof of the parliament building, causing damage of several hundred dollars. Premier Semliu comes out this evening in the Times with a strong reply, denying the truth of the Statement about the snow, and provii.g that the late government spent inoio money on the grounds than was appropriated for the purpose, and that his will not spend any money without authority. Candidates Gregory,Paterson and Ste\> - art, government, and Turner, Hall and McPhillips, opposition, were nominated, today. Opposition meetings are being slimly attended, and without undue sangniue- ness the return of at least two government supporters can be expected. Tho fight is waging around the Alien Exclu-- iou measure by the government, while the opposition is bringing up minor matters, hinting still vaguely about constitutional questions.

Every Conservativcin Nelson riding will bo appealed to to vote for candidate Far- well on party grounds; yet candidate Farwell has not got the moral courage to come out and announce that he is making a race on party; lines.

Candidate Farwell is not such a candidate. Crow's Nest Ooal Shipments.

Why do they compel the people of Moyie to go to a station called Mbyelle, two and one-half miles distant, to ship or receive express parcels? This question might also be asked the Canadian Pacific officials: "What is the present population of Mo- yelle?" They could answer it without the expenses incident to taking a census.

Then it should be easy to guess the winner. Much is heard of the overpowering ability of the man who would like to be sent to the legislative assembly from the Nelson riding in place of J. Fred Hume, who has been compelled to, resign his seat because a government official bought aud paid for a meal in a hotel in which he has an interest. In what way has this man shown that he has ability ?... Is a chronic desire to sit in the house a sign of abilitj'? If it is, then the man who has announced himself a candidate in opposition to Mr. Hume is overburthened with ability.

For Whist Players; Once upon a time, and that was not so very long ago, says an exchange, the long suit game in whist was thought to he as lirmly estoblished as tho law of gravitation. A 'diort-suiter was looked upon by orthodox whist players as a sorb of.-,anarchist, while the leader of singletons w.\* held to be a malefactor whose case was beyond excuse or palliation. Bus the long suit, system has had many hard knocks of late, and has just had another, in the record of a hand played tit the New year's meeting of the Knickerbocker Whist. Club, New york's swellest whist organisation. The following was tho hand: A and B against Y and Z. A to lead and heart.-* trumps: A���Hearts, A, K, 0, 2; spades, J, .10, !), 2; diamonds. 7; clubs-, ](), o< p,t 7, y��� Hearts, 7; spades-, K, Q, 8, 7, 5, 3; diamonds, J, S; :"), 3; clubs, K, J.

The scores made by A and B ran from six to nine at the different tables, e.v.-ept atone table, where A and B made eleven. When the play of tho hands was examined,'it was found that at the top score table A had led the singleton diamond. Whist experts on the other side are having quite a discussion over the case; and our local whist cranks will find it interesting to sort out the hands and go over tlie play for themselve--. Temporarily Shut Down. [Rossland Record, January 2Sth.] James Breen, superintendent of the Northport smelter, has been in town for a few days and returned today. Mr. Breen says the smelter has shut down temporarily, while a general invoice is being taken for the formal turning over to the B.A.C. people. The work of cleaning up the ore belonging to the original owners has been finished, and pieparations are being made to commence the treatment of the ore from the Le Ru mine under the new management'.. Between 7000 aiid SOOO tons of ore are now in the bins at the smelter, which is being increased by a shipment of 200 tons a day from the mine. Mr. Breen could not say just when the smelter would blow in. Sensational Situation.

Jacob Gould Schiiriiiah, president of Cornell -university, whom president Mc- ivinley has just made 'chairman oi' the J.'hilippine commission, can never be president of the United States. 'He,, was born in 'Prince Edward Island 51. years ago. Mr. Schurman's father had removed from New York a number of years before, cleared a little land and built himself a hou>e. He was poor'and there were eight children to support. The fourth child, who received the sturdy Dutch; name of Jacob, spent his earlier years doing what he could to help with the work and attending district school miles away iu all kinds of weather. At lo he lefc homo to make his way in the world, and from that time ou he has never received a penny that he did not earn. For three years young Schurmau worked in a country grocery in a little island town receiving f?'iO a year and his board. Theu he decided that he wauted a better education and started out to get it. -By working for his board he gave himself a year's schooling, lie had never before studied Latin or Greek, but in that ,, year, ho got the preparation i'or college '" which costs aiTordinary boy tour year's - time. .He won a scholarship in "Prince of -Wales college, Charlottetowii.," . - ,\Vith'the few-, "dollars ■which, 'this " scholarship.yielded and what he , could earn-by keeping books and" tending store 1 ip the evening ho:paid his way for two- years'.." At the end:ot'..chat tiiiieho gra'du- "ateil from„the college ac.the head ofvh'is. eia*s; Schu.riuan went.to Acadia college- iu Nova Scotia to continue his education. At t-ne oiid of his. course a scholarshipju .the University of London was.Oit'ered for competition in Canada, -Graduates :oi" every college in Canada tried for it. But most of them, might -have spared , them-, selves tlie'trouble, Schurman had decided that-SGOO a year i'or three years iu England was what he needed. Lie went into the examination anil won the prize. Jn London Schurman took up1 Che study' of philosophy. In three years he" won his doctorate. LLe wanted to go CO' Germany and study under the great leaders of philosophic thought. The Hibbard Sfi'ciecy iu London, offered a travelling fellowship to encourage the independent study of philosophy. Ic paid $'2000 i'or a year, and the holder could pursue his studies \\ here- ever he chose,, Ic was .opQU ,t,p all graduates of' the uniVersitieS of Great Britain and' lV^lahd, There-were.over 00 compete tors. They were the star men of" O&'fprd^ ^GHiil'bridgerlJ'di,n-bnrg'h^V=berdeetir'J;>.U'"bl|h= and other famous universities. The boy whose earliest school had b.een the backwoods farm in Prince IMwaM Island stood above thehl aU at the end of the competition. . „ . Ac the end of his stay in Germauy there were no more prizes in sighCj and the young student had to look about him to earn a living. ■ - Ho went back to Acadia college and accepted a pl*oFtfssoi'sijuip. But he did not stay long. Professor SchfirinaU' was a man of independent thought, and some .of his ideas did not meofc favor in the institution, where the principal work vyiis the training of men for the Baptist ministry. He resigned, and was" almost iminedijilely called to the chair of philosophy in Dal- hdUsie university at Halifax. Professor Sehuruiau's going to Dalliens i.e was a happy uiov'o. Through it he met Aliss Muin-o, the young woman who became UJh wife. Her father, the publisher George Munro, of New York, was the principal patron, of the institution at Halifax, to which he gave a large part of his-fortune. In I-SSG.'a chair of philosophy was estal> lL-hed in Cornell. Provide tic Andrew D. White recalled the bi-illiant young Canadian he had met at one of his receptions while minister at Berlin, and whose book, "Belief iu Guci" he had read. He sent for professor .Schurmau,. aud the Canadian scholar became connected with Cornell. At the lime when Dr. White sent for Schurman the latter, was preparing to go to Ottawa in answer to a summons from sir John Macdonald. The astute Conservative leader had heard of the young college professor, and urged him to enter Canadian . politics. BtiC Dr. Schurman preferred to continue in the scholarly way. In Cornell Schurman was fortunate in forming a close friendship with the late Henry W. bage. Under his influence Mr. Sage was induced to form the School of Philosophy, now the most important in the country. When Charles Kendall Adams resigned the presidency of Cornell, .in 1S02, Dr. Schurman was selected to fill, his place. So at the age.of thirty-eight the boy who had grown tip in backwoods poverty, who had worked in a store for $30 a year, who had struggled long and hard to give himself an oducation and who had gone without his dinner many a time in order to buy books, became tho"head of one of the great universities of the country. All hough one of the youngest college presidents Dr. Schurman has been one of the most successful. Under his direction Cornell has grown rapidly in wealth and attendance. He is popular. No leathern- lunged sophomore rejoices more when Cornell wins a boat race than does the president. Dr. Schurman is a man of magnificent physique, with a strong, intellectual face and easy and pleasant manners. In New York he has made au occasional appearance as an after-dinner speaker. Mr. Schurman-takes a great interest in all young men, especially those, who, like himself, have their own way to make in the world. ARE NOT FIGHTERS. RBAL BANK OF CANADA Capital, Paid Up. Reserve - $2,000,000 1,200,000 HEAD OFFICE, TORONTO D. R. WILKIE, General Manager The Doukhobors Much the Same as the Quakers. The migration of the people from their homes in the Caucasus to 0northwestern Manitoba is iu the main a result of Russian official stupidity—of an attempt to make all the hertogeneous elements of the nation conform to a common requirement of military service and discipline. Instead of ingenuously taxing the Douk- hobors, Mounonites, and others of similar faiths Lo support a hired military establishment, the conscription law has beeu, since 1887, severely enforced, aud the conscientious violation of ic by this and other religious sects has resulted in persecutions which seem incredible when regarded in the light ot free institutions. The Doukhobors accept the tenets of Christianity in practice as well as in theory, and the admonition to turn the other cheek precludes the possibility of military service. Willing to go to prison or the Siberian mines for their faith, their passive resistance could defy=the Russian authority, but the good, work of r sympathizers and tho mOi'O-able among themselves has '. shown then.)-a path, toward! the'freedom they1 were "dqiriod.'- in '-their, own country. -In religious 'belief and- life - (hey .;-'are similar in all impor.tant- features* to" the. Society . of. Priends.. They :prefer to.call themselves the. Universal'Brotherhood, "spirit-wrestlers being a niere nickname. The sect first made its appearance in a village in.Southern Russia about the middle of-the "eighteenth" ceuturyr As its doctrines, spread-to other villages" and "other parts, of Russia.the hostility,of both the government and the orthodox church led tp the banishment of a considerable number to Siberia. They established some small settlements, still in existence, on the borders of Manchuria.. A reserve was set apart for them on the northern shore of the Sea of Azof during the reign of Alexander I., the" intention being1 to restrict the spread of their doctrines. In time their work of propaganda began to attract attention, and the result was the arrest of their head man and the disruption" of tho colony, Iu 1840, and again in 1S50, they were made the victims ■of similar '"trbeatmentj but banishment to the inhps"pitable regions of "the Oaudasus " did not prevent the . development of thrifty and in a measure" prosperous cpin- n'STunitiesr^rhe"^ Russia had not been strictly administered previous to 1SS7, but in; that year the military necessities of the country led to a now persecution of the sect, which at no tiine could count more than about 20^000 adherents* Some members of the sect yielded to the conscription pressure, of the government", but in 18Q5 a movement of the nature of a i'evival led to the destruction of (heir militaryweapons iu Tillis, Kara and Eiisavetpol, au acC whioli led to more vigorous persecution. After the .expulsion of one of their chief sympathisers in ,1807 the empress jYh-ii'in, mother of the present ezYr, visited, the Caucasus, and the occasion Was improved by sprue of iheir'leadero, who, puc theiv case before her in ft petition. They asked either exemption from military service and settlement on a reserve or permission to leave tlie country. The latter request was granted in February, 1SJS. The active aid of the Society of Friends in IS four land was at once enlisted. It was learned that about 3500 of the Doukhobors were in comfortable circumstances, having both a communal fund and an immigration fund. About 8000 were not so well off, but still possessed of funds. Of the remaining 2000 about half were in urgent need. Cyprus was chosen as a colony for the latter, chiefly on account of its proximity, and 1100 were established on the land there, the $75. per head charged by the British government having been generously subscribed by the Society of Friends in England.. In the selection of a home for the other* the chronic disturbance of the South American republics and the rising war spirit of the United States had much to do with turning the attention of their committee toward Canada, and the article by prince Kropotkin in the Nineteenth Century pointed out excellent field for settlement. There was urgent need of prompt action to escape the conscription to be made on the opening of the present year. In addition to the English subscriptions about $5000 was raised in the United States, and count Leo Tolstoi contributed a similar amount.

The present contingent is num* bered at 1822. and it is thought the immigration of the spring will bring the remaining numbers of the sect, including t hose settled in Cyprus, about S500 in all. These people have divided themselves into groups of about 150 families.. The communal ownership of goods and money existing in each group, a feature in strong contrast to the individualism of the Meu- nonites, has grown up during the past few years, a necessity of the persecution to which they have been subjected.
