."J VOL 3.-N0. 33. SANDON, B. C, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1900. FIVE CENTS. '���������nfi 1. ffiljjl HOUSE. Slocan's Member Makes a Neat Speech But Committs Himself on the Eight-Hour Law. Mr. It. F. Green, of Kaslo, followed llr. Pooley. After the usual tribute to the mover of tlie address, lie took up the great question of liis district, the eight-hour law. That he did not consider the sole cause of tlie troubles. Tlie mines shut down had paid millions of dollars in dividends, and even for the present year $2,000,000 would probably represent, the profits of the Slocan, whose total output would probably reacli 87,000,000 lor the year 1S99. There wero labor troubles there, but it has not been shown that the shorter day was their sole cause, lie also chafFcd the opposition members for their caution in committing thcrn^ selves on this question. They were* saying a great deal about it, but they seemed afraid, to demand its repeal. All of them fought shy of that. He had been referred to by tho minister of finance concerning the spending of the appropriations. So lar as his district was concerned, they were better spent last year than ever before in his 16 years' residence there. In the preceding year the government had spent ������Oft IW1 'in'fl..l ...'/Ii...... L.t^ if Un.l 1 ������26,000 iiv that riding, but it had been largely misspent; ������6,000 rightly used had gone quite as far. He favored the alien law. It worked well in the province he thought. In the State of Washington, if one of our men wandered across the line before he could stake a claim he must forswear tho Queen. Mr. Eberts���������No. Mr. Green���������But I know, lienor The people, too, he held, favored the law, and many tilings were quite wrongly attributed to its workings. The senior member for Esqiiimalt was quite mistaken in saying that the miners did not want the law, as the speaker would assure him that they did, and that they wanted it just as ft was. The country knew that the eight- hour law was here,' that it was here to stay and that it had their approval too. In this as in their geueral policy, the government still enjoyed the confidence of the province." Mr. Green thinks that the eight-hour law is not the sole cause of'the Slocan trouble. As no one else knows of any other cause he might have pointed it out. 7 It is true some mines that have shut down have paid dividends and could pay them working as the miners desire them; but Mr. Green well knows this isnotaih Are properties to submit to any Hceicing simply because they can . pay it and live? Mr. Green might be able fo run his store if a fifth'more was' added to his expenses, without any. increase in his income; but would he not contest legislation, stolen through in the night as the eight-hour law was, that forced such conditions upon him? ' Air. Green well knows that while some of .the closed properties (and, we here say Ins figures as to profits of those paying are incorrect) are dividend-payers, they are not all, arid some of them may never bo. It is true that many miners want the law; but it is also true that some do hot, and the miners arc hot one-fourth of the population of the country. It appears to us tliat when the government party, know that they are tlie cause of the Slocan trouble, in the face of their pre-election declarations, that there had been too much tinkering with the mining laws of the country by the late government, they should devise some means of correcting the wrongs of this district.and terminating the financial losses befalling it. As we intimated above, if Mr. Green knows it is not the eight-hour law that is wholly responsible for the Slocan trouble, he ought to tell the government what the element is and introduce legislation to rectify tne wrongs. This is clearly his duty as the representative of the division. But let us go farther and correct some of Mr. .Green's figures, and we will call it for the time misconception of the facts. He enumerates some properties, which he intimates, can pay two millions in dividends,, and Bhould therefore pay the wages demanded. Iu the last statement to the shareholders,' the Payne promised $25,- 000 a month that would be $300,000 a year. Taking the profits of the others ia the past, and considering their best output with a full force, the combined dividends could not possibly exceed one million. Then say #1,250,000 for the whole of them. Now in actual cost to Z tho present ownors.thc mines ho named represent SS,000,000, so the dividend, ���������would represent gross, 15 per cents This to the uneducated mind represents a large sum, justly meriting pluder, but as it is gross but 15 per cent, on capital invested, we ask Mr. Green, as a business man, if ho thinks it is too much? We -would ask him if he has, year in and year out, subjected to ihe plunder of his employes all he has made over 15 per cent, on capital invested? or if he thinks it would be right to have him compelled to do-it by legislation? But even this is not all. There are in tho Slocan more than 1,000 properties on which expenditures of ������100 and upwards have been nude. The best estimate ii that all told over 515,000,000 are sunk in Slocan proper- tics. The dividends then of the paying mines spread over the entire number would realise less than S per cent. Do Mr. Green and those who think witli him conclude this is too much? Should acts of the legislature make it less and still le:ivo - encouragement to the investors? This is another thing we must take into account. The Payne and other dividend payers are blamed by the m'ners, by Mr. Green and others for not opening and working because they C.\y pay , the wages asked. As if a man's ability to' -pay-thc demand, oven of robbers, was a reason he should meet them���������that, for instance, Mr. Green should pay 35 a day at his hotel simply because he is able to pay it. Now, the unions take into membership every man disposed to join, whether they are worth to employers S2.00 or S5.00 a day, and demand $3.50 for all, and they are, as is well known to Mr. Green, taking tho most vigorous steps to prevent other men from1 coming in, or working, for less. They want these wages from tho prospect, and the property that has neyer paid a dollar and never may, as well as from the Payne which they say can well afford it. If, under such circumstances, the Payne and other dividend payers join their weaker brethren in a stand for justice, is the act not at least as commendable and as,much entitled to protecting legislation as the'union?, are in demand ing-. $3.50 for.$2.50'men ? and forcing the properties to be idle if they refuse to bo bled., ;. We do not ask Mr. Green to consult the owners, but will say that if he will only consult the business men of the! district, he will at once learn that the 0U8W. owners have made a very liberal offer, not alone to the men but to the unions, mind you, and it has been accepted by the men and nullified through the instigation of that alien organization, the Western Federation of Miners, whose president advocates the adjustment of their grievances by the sword.' Does the representative of the constituency then not think- that something should be done by the legislature ���������?' ���������-.'_���������"' ' ' . If Mr. Green feels as we do that capable, industrious, law-abiding citizens are entitled to .$3.50, ho ought also to know that the scores of incapable men in the district, who would rather live in agitations and disturbances of the peace, are not entitled to it; and he ought to favor legislation that would either make them accept what they are worth or leave the vacancies to those who will. We think in this we are not asking too much. As a representative, of the. constituency Mr. Green's first object "should be the restoration of harmony and the settlement and development of the country instead, of encouraging non-action that is cultivating bad blood, and sowhigseeda that will ultimately result in serious consequences to the country. As a man and a citizen we have the highest regard for Mr. Green; but our aim is more the advancement of the material interests of the country than tho corralling of votes at elections, and must, therelore, deal with public men as we find them in public matters. Every man employing labor in any form knows there are all shades of capability in men,and they are, therelore, entitled to all shades of wages on the platform of justice. In all other callings in life men get graded Wages according to ability, and it will never be right until it is the case in mining as well. The rule was true, of mining in the west until the unions got hold of the people and did their plastic work to war against capital; arid if judgement and justice ever displace socialism and despotism in the minds of the subjects afflicted by them, it will again be the rule, to the great service ol the people. The leaders���������those' who make their living by their wits, and out of the pockets of their more industrious neighbors, may not fare as well/but it will be better for the masses of the people. PERSONAL MENTION, ���������Percy Dickenson, of Slocan City, spent Tuesday in town. "Rev." Jo3eph Thatcher is registered at the Halcyon Hot Springs. Dr. Morrison, dentist, Nelson, was in .the city this week pulling teeth. Mr. P.J. Hickey's brother-in-law, Mr. Eagan, visiting here for some Jays. Mr. Banting, of Whitewater, was in town Monday and sworn in as a J.P. Mr. E. Remmclmeycr of the Emily Edith, was in the city Thursday evening. We are sorry to hear that Alderman tluntcr is quite ill at his rooms over the store. Mrs. F.A.Wood took part -in the patriotic concert at Kaslo" on Tuesday evening. Mr We, the Brotherhood of Painters and decorators of America, Local Union 13S, beg to submit lho following rules and regulations: (1) That tho hours of labor shall be between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., with one hour for lunch between 12 and 1p.m., where1 practical, but where inconvenient the employer and employe shall arrange an hour to suit, but in any event nine hours shall constitute a day's work. (2) That the minimum rate of wages shall bo 33J cents per hour. (3) That workmen shall be allowed to work one hour after the usual hour of quitting in order to finish a job at the same rate of wages. (4) That all work done after 6 p.m. shall be paid at the rate of time and a half. The eight-hour law champions' can take a lesson from this. Without a Jaw on the Hubject, the unions and employers will agree on 9 hours as a day's work. The union allows over-time and specifies a rate for it. We are fully confident that if the miners had taken a similar stand some time ago they The Rambler-Cariboo shipped 40 tons this week, The Payne shipped 165 tons of ore the K. & 3. and 60 over the C. P. R. this week. The long cross-cut tunnel of the Ivanhoe is now in over 400 feet after two ��������� months drilling. It is said 700 feet more will strike the vein. Who Told the Lie ? Fred T. Kelly and his brother, could have had things reasonably well Eugene, of Spokane, are in the city for a stay of some length. The Misses Hansen, of South Forks, came in oil Thursday to attend to the band dance and remained over for a short visit in town. Mrs Neil McDonald, who resides at Kaslo, returned home on Monday after a short visit in Sandon. Mr. McDonald accompanied her to Kaslo. 10 their liking long before this without either law or strikes or any of their consequences. For Miners Only. A Farewell Party. Some people who are more officious than wise say on the streets, that after the present trouble is settled the owners will boycot union men. As we are not more in the confidence of the owners than the business people generally, we- have no instructions from, them ; but we know from general conversation that such is not the case. They made what all, even the union now admit, was a good offer; the men accepted but the union converted it iiito^a, trap that has acted like a boomerang.-The owners have no ill towards any eft-he men and will not discriminate between union and non-union, but will take oh any and all on their merits! as miners who will attend to their business industri They can at any time command ail the foreigners they require, but are willing to givetheold-hands' a preference at $3.25 a day���������the scale accepted by the union���������when the men want to work as formerly. On Monday evening there was a "gathering of the clans" in Spencer's hall, to give Mr. Donald McDonald and wife a good Scotch send-off, before leaving for Edmonton, where they will take up ranching life. Although the surprise was hurriedly gotten up it seemed to be a very happy affair, even though it meant "good-bye" to old and tried friends. Dancing was kept up till after midnight, when an adjournment was made to the Balmoral par- lord where those familiar with, perhaps, the language of the garden of Eden, whiled away the remainder of the'night in a flow of Gaelic, or, as one old cronie said, "we didri'c break up, at all until we saw them got oh the train.'' Mr. McDonald has been a resident of these parts for along time, and botlihe and his partner will be missed"among- the many, Jtlacks of ���������. the city as well as others, who wish them prosperity in their new home on the prairie, where some of the family are living. On Monday some 40 miners came in from Vancouver to work at the Enterprise mine. They were engaged by aa employment agent at Vancouver for this purpose. On arrival at Rosebery .they were met by members of the New ��������� Denver and Silverton unions (although we believe one of the number crept in at Nakusp) and induced to break their- arran'gemenls. Some of the number, we understand, remained. The New Denver correspondent of the Nelson Tribune says two falsehoods were told the men at the Coast���������the one tnat the trouble was settled and the other that there was a .scarcity of men. We understand this is tho same correspondent who some nvc weeks ago reported the trouble was settled, and if it was settled then it ought to be now. No doubt the Vancouver agent took the New Denver correspondent's statement for what he told the men. There is one thing pretty certain, it is settled so far as the unions will be able to settle it. As to the other statement, it is the New Denver correspondent who is telling the falsehood. Every resident knows that if the mines were to open tomorrow there would not be more.than half enough men in the Slocan to fill them. The business men say'bring in English speaking miners to help the camp. When they are brought in the unions send them out, and some of them clap the unions on t.1\e back.for doing, so. Guests at the Reco. Why Not Petition A gentleman well in touch with the miners of this district assures us, that to settle the present difficulty three- quarters of the men now in the Slocan would sign a petition for the repeal of the eight-hour law, so tliat they might, return to the old condition of things and get $3.50 a day. n0 ono cau blame the men for trying to get all they can at the same time the owners are. as justifiable in refusing old pay for reduced service. -If the men-..favor the idea they should act on it at once so that the matter may be dealt with by the legislature at once. If it, is the wish of the men we will -���������'.raft the petition for them and print several copies of it free of charge to facilitate the business. By sending a copy to each mine the matter could be cleared up iu a weeK or so.: We might here add that wo are confident that if the act is repealed the owners will readily pay the old wages and make even better concessions to the men as regards hours, where the conditions are at all unfavorable to long shifts.

A quiet but very pretty wedding took place on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the vestry of the Church of Mary Immaculate, when William Davidson was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss B. Walsh, both of Sandon. The bride assisted by Miss Vera Costello, of Calgary, while the groom was supported by William Douche, of Nelson. The bride was handsomely attired in a while silk dress trimmed with chiffon, while the bridesmaid looked charming in a pretty travelling costume of blue velyet. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Fcrland.���������Nelson Tribune. ���������_ Mr. Davidson ancl bride reached tho city on Monday evening via C.P.R. The Progress of the War. Something Sensible. The painters of Vancouver have met and passed the following resolutions to go in effect at once: ; There is no questioning the fact that the British forces are not making the progress in the war that it was at first expected they would. The Boers are putting up a most determined defense. The ultimate must be the .success of the British army, but the loss before then will be fearful. Already the British loss in killed, wounded and prisoners is over 8.000���������a large number for the age of the war. Buller has crossed Tugela River, and is advancing as fast as he can to the relief of Ladysmitb, with the bulk, it is safe to say, of the Boer army between. The country is very rough���������consisting of hill, valley, morass and deep rivers, with the bulk of the Bser force in- the strongest position, the height oflaud between. They are there well-entrenched behind hills, breastworks, stone walls and other protections known to warfare. As a result shelling is Buller's moat successful means of attack. Altogether some 33 companies of the south houu'ry, representing some 25 millions of capital, have petitioned the B. C. Legislature"for a repeal of the 8- hour law, and now come the tollowing from the Slocan and around representing some ������20,000,000 more : The Hall Mines, Ltd.; The Fern Gold Mining <fc Milling Co.; Duncan Mines Ltd.; Granite Gold Mines Ltd.; Queen Bsss Proprietary Co.

About 45 of thesi companies have tried it from the start, and many of them say they will either have to reduce wages with the conse-> quences or secure a repeal of the law. We venture, however, if 50 miners with votes though they have not a dollar's worth in the country beyond drawing their wages and never intend to have it petition for the maintenance of the law as it stands, our government will pay more attention to the latter. Of such. . is the B.C. statesmanship of to-day. Mr. Hagler's Case, As was announced last week, Wm. Hagler, secretary of the miners' union, was arrested for leading an "unlawful assembly" interfering with men being brought in by, the Payne mine, and with using abusive language. After two or three adjournments his case came before Justiee Lilly at 2:30 p. m. yesterday, Mr. Christie prosecuting and Mr. W. A. Macdonald, of Nelson, defending the prisoner. The case is on as we go to press but Mr. Hand having been examined. His evidence supports the indictment. Whether the charge will be reduced and completed here, or be sent to the higher court it is impossible to say. It will take all of this (Friday) evening and perhaps most of to-day to finish. a$ if* ��������� 'l*L.

Plunged, as Britain has been, into a war which can have but ono issue. II ' may be interesting to bestow a passing glance l at other existing causes that may lead to war in which she may, become' involved. On the Continent the general impression seems to be that John Bull Is always spoi ing for a fight, and that ho can't be 'happy unloss he has a few "expeditions," not altogether in the -[nt'erest'.'.of science,, afoot somewhere or other. i But although there have been, in England's relations with Germany, Russia.and France within most recent years, causes enough to have let into rvar, nothing untoward happened. A Hying squadron collected and dis- jersoe again. Russia was check- nated in China. : Franco on the Ni- rer: was persuaded to "quit it;" the iTusboda fever ran its course without iny undue rise of temperature of tither country; and a few other min- ,ir "disputes wero more or less amicably 'arranged." The Venezuelan boundary dispute, which so seriously threatened to impair the friendly relations between the Lion and the Eagle, has been settled, ������s no doubt the . Alaskan frontier juestion will also be. England's attitude during the war with' Sp<ain,: which did much to prevent a European continental combination, has made war between Uncle Sam and John Bull improbable foi lomo time at least, i ( The conquest by railroad of Manchuria by liussia, and the seizure of Port Arthur seemed at the time likely to issue in war; -but a more effective barrier against,Russia was erect- : Bd by a-simple .declaration that the Yang-tse Valley���������tho largest, richest, most populous and accessible part,of the Chinese Empire���������was within the ���������exclusive sphere of British influence, nnd it was an international surprise that Russia acquiesced. The effective support since given to British railway and mining concessionaires, and the vetoing of the proposed Russian railway to Peking, render it very unlikely that ,ahy further ������ttempl to partition China will lead to war" with any European Power.. ' In the Indo-Chinese peninsula, SLam Is now tie only "buffer" state between England and France. France has hustled Siam out of large and rich tracts.to the east of the Mekong, nnd still remains in' possession of ihe Important Siamese part of Chanta- ". bun. But any further advances by France or an attempt to establish her- Belf permanently in the Menam Valley would certainly be regarded by England as an "unfriendly act.'1 POSSIBLE CONFLICTS. The possibleetransfer in the near future of Italy's costly and unprofitable colony of Eritrea, on the Red Sea Coast, to England, or its annexation to the Anglo-Egyptian Soudan Province,, may possibly result in conflict With Menelik, the Abyssinian, or some of his turbulent satraps, but this will bo "pie"' for England. News has also come to hand recently of the dispatch of a Congo State force into the Bahr-el-Ghazal���������Emin Pasha's old 'province���������that rich and fertile territory which Marchand's march to Fashoda was designed to bring under the aegis of France, and thus complete the French belt right across Equatorial Africa from the Gabun to the Gulf of Aden. . France, it should be remembered, has an option on the Congo State whenever King Leopold lures of his hobby, and Belgium refuses to support the "black -elephant." ' : . British possession of Gibraltar is an ever-felt "sore point" of Spain. English sovereigns, centuries after Britain had lost every inch of territory la France, continued to pose as titular "Kings of France," and Spain, although she lost.'-the Ruck" 191) years ago, to this day includes Gibraltar in her official returns with the naive note: '"temporarily occupied by the English 1" In a general European war, Spain would naturally do her utmost to oust Queen Victoria from her command of the Atlantic entranco of tho Mediterranean. She has a few "pre- eidoes," Centa, Teutan, etc., on the op- positu coast, bu* any attempt by France or other first-class Power, except America, to share the control of the Straits of Gibraltar would instantly result in an ultimatum from England, and that is why barbaric Morocco has not passed under the European yoke like Algeria and Tunis. ITALY AND FRANCE. Ever simce Rome became, in 1870,' the capital of Italy, France has regarded her Mediterranean neighbor with a jealous eye, but the Triple Alliance forbids any violent manifestation of the dislike that undoubtedly exists between the two chief Latin peoples. Italy's sorest point against France is, undoubtedly, the "rushing" of Tunis in 1881, ostensibly to punish the Kroumir marauders, but in reality to secure a new base for the French navy in the now, impregnable port of Bi- zeota. ��������� By a series of such " progressions'' France has scored heavily in Northern Africa and any day we may hear of a descent on the still nominally Turkish province "of Tripoli. The extension "of i; the, Algerian railways eastward would bring France within sn iking ci-jtano of Egypt. To any move> in this direction England would probably respond by annexing' the' Nile Valley, soiling the, Suez Canal, .uid possibly ereaiing at Port Said a secoud Valletta point <>of_ support on ner highway to the Hast. 'Au.st ria-Iluiigary , is a hot-bed of causes; that' may issue in, at any rate, civil"-, war. i Count Badcni's lamous languigu ordinance, allowing the use of Czech in Bohemia nnd Moravia, led 'o most \iolent .scenes in the Austrian Parliament, and' provoked bitter conflicts between tho Germans and tlie Czechs. In fact, : the German Austria now looks to Berlin for plitical salvation, and not to Vienna. In Hungary, aloo, the Kossulhilo parly is working unceasingly to sever the conned ion, slight, as it is, wilh Austria. .So many discordant elements in the dual monarchy is bound to result in war. SCANDINAVIAN TROUBLES. The other dual monarchy in the Northwest of Europe is in a some- wh.it similar proi.ioament. The Noi- wegian, demand for greater independence is so bitterly resisted by Sweden -that war will break out the moment either- counfrs' considers itself thoi- oughlj prepared for it. Norway, if .successful, would'-''declare Lself a republic but both countries doubtless feel that Russia is too near and too powerful a neighbor not to come intoi tlie quarrel and probabiy "attach" .another Finland or two to the west of the Baltic. Japanese, inilation and anger were smoothed down by Russia's slun withdrawal from Korean'affairs.; but when the Czar has consolidated- his l.owei in Manchuria and made Port Arthur impregnable, his influence in Korea will be. re-established, and the rising power of Japan "will be destroyed,'oi the "England of the East" will become a subservient depenuent if���������England does not intervene. The "United ,Statc3 of Central America"���������a most eupihonious name gi.'- en iii J8!)8 to'a union formed in lfci). and then called Ltho '"Greater Republic of Central America"���������has failen lo pieces, and the five mutually spiteful little republics are again fre.v to indulge' their craving for a little wild e-xoi-tcmeiit. -Interstate wars and "revolutions" will occur again'and again, umil the United St aes having tightened their g i./ on the NUara- guau Canal, insures a .si.lie of i eace on this- physically and politically restless region. The Spanish republics in South America in the formation of which England played so great a part���������not politically, but financially���������have' always been in a chronic state of unrest and are in reality as far off an assured peace as ever. Argentina aiu' Chile have, however, referred their boundary dispute to the arbitration of Great Britain. Peru has never recovered from the Chilean "visitation" of 1881; while Bolivia, thrust back from the sea, has apparently cooled its fiery aspi rations among tho Andean snowfieldsj . But these countries and Brazil are. not really republics. Tiiey are simply oligarchies under military-dictators, each one of whom is the cause of a "revolution." These "Trans- van Is of South America" do not, however, attract the Anglo-American in sufficient numbers to become a factor in. wars in which England or the Unitec. States.is likely to be involved.

Cannon were wheeled into position, although'many of the horses and, men were shot down' ere the ' manoeuvre was completed, and our indomitabla soldiers walked erect and straight onward. ��������� Not even Rome in her i������ilm- iest days ever possessed more devoted ' sons.

By 7.15 the Irish brigade had driven the Boers to the north bank of the Tugela. They found that the enemy had planted the ground with barbed wire entanglements. ' Even in the bed of the river barbed -wire was laid down. Into the water went the Dublin Ihniskillings, Borderers and Con- naughts, but it was found at the ford that, tho Boers had cunningly dammed . the river, and there was ten feet ol Watei where ordinarily it is but knee deep. ���������' They strove to find the crossings, and many a fine-jfollow, with hia- weight of ammunition and accoutre- ��������� meiits, was drowned. It was u desperate and serious situation. The attack upon the right was making no progress, and the hearts of the men had reached an apparent impasse. But there were furious and angry Irishmen who had resolved to get across somehow. By dint of scrambling from rock lo rock and swimming, a number won Ihe o.her si a- Yet most of them found that they had -but passed across a winding spruit. The Tugela still lay in front, and all tha while the murderous fire of cannoD and Mauser crashed and comrades fell, weltering in their blood. In the. meanwhile Colonel Long had lost his guns, and Generals Buller and Clery with their staffs and escorts had ridden to the scene. TBIED TO SAVE THE GUNS. ' The spouting hail of lead and iro.. snapped and- spluttered, and the dust puffed .more than ever. Lord Roberts' son, with Captains Schoficld and Con- grove, volunteered lo ride out and endeavor to save the. two field batteries in ihe open. .Readily other volunteers wero found. Corporals from the linesmen and drivers of the ammuniliup waggons, faking spare teams, galloped out and ; men and horses again began falling on every side. Young Roberts' horse was blown up by a shell- Congrove was hit with a bullet and his clothes were, cut by other missiles. Schofield alone escaped untouched. Across that valley of death quickly the surviving animals were rounded up and the guns were hooked and dragged away. Again and again that day attempts were made to haul, off the. remaining guns, but the Boer.fire was incessant and withering. At four the. battle was over. General Buller abandoned the guns and retreated. i Every cloud may have a silver lining, but the average man is satisfied if his ipocket is lined with silver. HP raW** mssSmm -3 It was Mrs. Sherwin Blake's afternoon " At home," and that fascinating lady was endeavoring in heroic fashion to adminster tea, to remember who took sugar and who did not, and to chatter affably to some half-dozen lady^ friends ��������� clustered around her. making occasional bolts towards the door to recoive new visitors. Of course. her daughter, Miss Nettie Blake, ought to have helped her mother with these social duties; but' that young lady was sitting in a fur corner, engaged in earnest conversation with a certain Mrs. Rapley, who professed to know a groat deal about spiritualism. "���������But tell me," Nettie was saying in an awe-Btricken voice, " can this woman you were talking about really see what is going to happen to people, and do her prophecies always come true ?" ' 'As to that" repli.ed her friend, "I have certainly known her foretell the future wonderfully ; but she succeeds best in discovering people's characters and lives from merely holding in her hand something belonging to them. For instance, if you give her a letter Bho will, without even looking at it, tell you all about the writer, though both you and tho writer aro quile un- . known to her." Now, besides the number of lady visitors at Mrs. Blake's that afternoon there had been ono man���������Captain Le Stremo Tassling, of tho Life Guards. He had left a little while before, but Nettie's thoughts were full of him; in fact; though she had known him but a brief time, this foolish girl ��������� fresh from the school-room, had lost her romantic little heart to the handsome soldier, and had accepted him as the ideal man. Of his feelings towards her she knew nothing, but she pleased herself with imagining that his chai-ming manners -were even more charming with her than wilh others,' and that his dark eyes had a particularly lender look in them when in hor company. Such thoughtB were buried deep in her inmost heart, and were never breathed to anybody, excopt, of course, hor especial girl friend, who didn't count ; but sho pined to know, whether her eonviction was right, or whether his sails and attentions were for her motb- ������r alone. The talk with Mrs. Rapley at once suggested to her mind a way of satisfying' herself on this point. A day or two afterwards, when i dinner-party was under discussion, Nettie was strongly in favor of inviting Captain Tassling; ana, though she had to bear some banter about this eagerness, she gained her point, arid 7 also a promise that the gallant Captain should take her. in to dinner. The Invitation was sent, and next morning ajt breakfast, Mrs. Blake laughingly tossed1 a note across to Nettie, say- : Ing:' ���������'-.������������������ '. '��������� ��������� " There, my doar, I hope that will Batisfy you." It merely contained tha usual formal words,'���������'���������'��������� Captain ; Tussling has much pleasure in accepting Mrs. Sherwin Blake's kind invitation to dinner ' on the 10th inst." Yet Nettie -preserved the note carefully, and, like the little goose that she iwas, read it over and over again when she was alone, taking in every letter of the belov- Bd handwriting, and even���������but no; it were unkind to mention every little girlish folly that she committed, and, besides, Nettie is' not the only silly girl in the world. The time had come to put her plan into execution, however, and in considerable trepidation she .crept but of.the bouse, armed with the precious scrap if paper, by means of which so much was to be revealed to her. She got into a cab and after a long drive arrived at her destination, which provr Bd to bo-a grocer's shop. The grocer ihowed her upstairs,, and shouted for bis wife. The latter was an exceeding quiet, mild-looking little' woman, not at all resembling the wild witch Nettie had pictured. " Please," began the girl, timidly, feeling somewhat fooish, " I am in a great hurry, but I should like you to tell me what you can about lho person who wrote this," and she handed her the note. " I'll try, miss," replied the woman, "but to tell the truth, .I am not at my best just now. You see, folks begin coming to see me early in the morning, and to-day I've had a groat many, one after the other, till I'm tired put." Nettie looked blank; this was loo bad, after she had come such a long way. " But can't you toll me anything?" she enquired beseechingly. The woman smiled at her eagerness. "I daresay I can tell you something," she said; " but I never invent as some clairvoyants do. It's rather a peculiar thing about me that, no matter bow tired I am, I can nearly always see and describe places/though I can't bit off people or characters at all unless I'm feeling absolutely fresh." "Well,' the places will be better than nothing," said the girl with a oigh; " and, please, be quick as you can." Nettie watched the woman curiously as she stood with the note���������that bad been taken out of its envelope, though it was still folded iip���������in one hand. Presently she began: " Overlooking a great park I see a large red brick building, with a clock tower in the center, surmounted by a .weathercock. Part of the building is low and long; there are iron railings in front; and some sentry-boxes with tall boldiers in red uniform on guard." The girl listened in amazement; the woman had described the barracks wherein Captain Tassling was quartered,, and she awailod feverishly the answer to hor question. There was a short pauso; then the woman started afresh ; " I see in one wing of the building a beautifully furnished room ; there are a great many photographs standing about, nearly all of different young ladies, nnd some nre in theatrical coslumc���������" Hero Nettie interrupted once more, saying with a remarkable amount of heat for a girl usually, so sweet-lem- nered, that she did not care about the photographs. . , Tho clairvoyanle protested that such, interruptions would spoil everything, but at last she managed to come to the point. " In thin room I see o tall, fair man, with dark eyes, ho looks strong and soldierlike, and ho sits pol'shing the hilt of a sword, as he whistles a tune." Nettie's heart beat faster. " O 1" she exclaimed.. " can't you tell me wlinl ho is thinking about, nnd whether he 'iH " sho was about to say. 'i'n love." hut she stopped, and me.r"lv added, "tell me something about him." " .Tust now." continued (ho woman, "ho appears to be in some perplexity; I' enn'f be quilo sure what aboui, but it seems that he is deeply attached to some ono. and 'does not know whether his love is returned or not. But I think be is fairly hopeful thai il iR." Al this point lhe exertion appeared lo bo (oo much for her, and, breaking off suddenly, she put her band to her forehead, exclaiming, " I can't go on any morel" The girl scarce heard ; she repeated the words "Deeply attached lo some one," over and over again to herself, and her eyes sparkled as she exclaimed. "Please, please take aliltle rest ,and try and see something about lho girl he is attached fo���������or wait a minute���������perhaps you could describe whore she lives? That will do quite as wel 11" "Yes. I will do that if I can." answered (ho woman, " but. indeed. M'_ss. you must n't ask mo any more." Sho seemed to make a tremendous effort, to orslleof herself, and then resumed : " Tho house connected in some way with tho man's thoughts is a good- sized one, painted a dark rcd_, with creepers round the. lower windows, and climbing up the balcony. Tt is in a square, near one end, and at (he other there is a grey church with a tall spire.'" "That's it!" cried Nettie wild with excitement, "(hat's St. Gregory's, Macclesfield Square! That's etiouRh. Oh. I can't fell you how grateful Tnm,' and to prove it she pnvo the woman some money and hurried awny. On lho day of the dinner-party she was more exuberant than over; nnd she was dressed and waiting in ihe drawing-room half an hour before anybody else, listening eagerly for the front door bell, and blushing every rime she heard footsteps on tho stairs. When Captain Tasslmg arrived, everybody was electrified to see v the quiet, demure Nettie rush forward, all smiles and present him with a beautiful carnation, accompanied by'a tender look, meant to speak volumes, that puzzled the good Captain not n j little. Her behavior towards, him throughout the evening was ntfocet.hr er extraordinary, and any who did not know her would have classed her ns a hardened flirt. This was Captain Tns- sling's conclusiion. after a time, and, though it did not agree with his first impressions, he could give 'no other interpretation to, her' .forward , demeanor towards himself. .Tust. for the fun of tho thing he talked a vast nrn- onnt of nonsense, and flirted more des- ip^rately than she, nnd when it wfls time to go the two had a tender parting, secretly agreeing to meet ,,in the Row next morning nt ten. "Well." thought tlie Captain, .a", 'he. drove back to barracks! "T never made Barker indignantly, "Why he's most highly educated, miss, far above the common run of servanis; and as to writing, he does it so well that sometimes when the Captain's busy ho geis- Tommy to answer letters for him liko a private secretary. Not important letters,' of course, miss; but 1 moan, for instance, he'll sometimes- toss him an invitation and say, Must accept this for mo, Green,' or perhaps- ho is to refuse it, as the case may be, ruifis ; and then, you see " ��������� "Yes, yes, Barker; good-night. I'm very tired," said Nettie, somewhat abruptly, " and I wish you every happiness." "Thank you, Miss Nettie; I' was just going lo tell you it was Tommy as answered Mrs. Rlako's last note inviting the Captain " "Good-night, Barker," repeated Nettie, with a sharpness thai sent tlie maid away in a great hurry, wondering what was wrong. Nettie did not meet Cnptnin Tasting in the Row next morning, nor did she ever mention him when she could possibly avoid it. When an invitation to his wedding with Miss Lilian BanUford came, Net lie'did not go- but tho rest of (ho family did, and said it, was a very pretty wedding indeed, and that Nettie had missed a grout deal by staying away. tt'W&r9S<b/&1&'3Li1&~. . PLAGUE INCREASING IN INDIA. .Morliilllj- In 'the ������!l.v of Bomb.iv It Vi'rr Eltgli. The health of Bombay city continues very unsatisfactory, and (here are- indications' that the city will suffer from another recrudesenee of the plague. ��������� The general mortality is high, being al the rata of 53.-JO per 1,000 per annum, while quinquennial average is only 33.43. Not only ' this, but the. deaths from plague show a decided tendency to increase, and it is very probable thai tho disease is moro prevalent than the published figures would indicate. In view of the disastrous chax-acter of the recent outbreak in Poona the prospect in Bombay gives rise to groat misgiving. The amount of inoculation which by a variety of devices has been done is small compared with tho immense population, over 820,000, and all other plague measures have proved useless for protecting the city. There seems lo havo been a much larger amount of plague in the Nizam's dominions than has been officially reported. The Pl.igue Commissioner iu his official letter says: "At present plague work in Hyderabad is a sham, and I cannot consent to be "a party to il," The official returns with regard to plague do not indicate the immense number of concealod cases of ���������plague which must be continually taking place. For some time past the returns from Hyderabad have been very irregular, but the numbers, reported as-occurring In this State have been sufficient to cause considerable fluctuation in the weekly returns for the whole of India. Like Bombay, the general mortality in Calcut ta shows an ominous riso. Not that there,is at present any definite indication o������- the increase of plague, but the weekly figures1 reported, are very significant. ������������������' An attempt to discredit the existence of plague in the city by certain leading natives supported by the native pross has not been successful, and inquiry has only too 'sui-ely proved its continued prevalence. Plague administration in this city is of the mildest, possible character, and it may ibei said that there is no preparation in tho event of. a severe outbreak.

Many chemises are made to tie with ribbons on the shoulders, which is a much desired innovation, as upon the occasion of putting on evening frocks'tho ribbons aro so easily untied. The correct corset of today is cut very long over the hips, quite twelve or fifteen inches below the waist, bo as to mold the figure to the shape demanded by the eelskin skirt. The front ste-els, too, are arranged so as to bring about the perfectly straight unbending, downward line where, the waist usod to be, but must be no longer. To further accentuate this flatness stocking suspenders are now attached to the front of the stays instead of on the aides. HYGIENIC COFFEE. There are many who, for various reasons, cannot drink coffee, and for such there are many substitutes wh.ch aire palatable, and cost less llinni the genuine article. Bran Coffee: This is especially to bo recommended. Purchase at any feed t-toro clean, fresh bran. To -1 qts of- it add 1 teacup best New, Orleans molasses. ,Work j't in well with the hands, until there is no, btickiness, and the molasses is not perceptible. If; still, sticky, add more bran. Brown in a moderately hot oven, stirring frequently that it may brown, evenly It should be watched closely, as the molasses in it causes it to burn easily. When- cool, put in close jars; it will keop a������Iong time. To make this beverage, uso 1 dessertspoon for each cup, ami steep or boil ill gently for 15 minutes. If made with the drip coffee pot, allow it to stand on the back of the stove for the same length of time. "Wheat'::, Wheat crushed and browned in- the same way makes .a'de'licioua drink. Less molasses should beiused, as ,the wheat will not- absorb it, as does the bran. ��������� Dry Bread: Dry bead browned mid crushed is also another good substitute for coffee. .The drink should be made in "the same way,, alway-i .being careful to, use enough to give it: .char-, acter, otherwise it will be insipid. One tiling to be remembered in ierv- ingi these/ substitutes for coffee is that rich cream, is just .as necessary to insure their deliciousneas as it ia necessary to make the cup of coffee perfect.

' The newe..t way of decorating, IhB dinger table is to place in front of each) gue-t a little basket made of sil- . vor, or, china fillod with flowers. The middle of the tabla is occupied ,by a mirror with delicate silver trimmings, and plates of bonbons encircled by, garlands o������ flowers are arranged, oo the mirror. Fruit and flowers are now frequently mingled in table decorations. In selecting flowers for tha table care should be taken to avoid all those having a strong scent, ilka the narcissus, tuberose, jasmine and hyacinllh, as many persona are made ill by such odors. Scentless flowere, like thei camellia, tulip, crocus on jonquil, are preferable, although rosea and violets seldom cause annoyance. The smell of the chrysanthemum is usually quite, inoffensive, and it is/,an extremely decorative flower. Ornamental foilage, green and colored, may ai.=oi be used alone with excellent effect. To wash woolens, use two tubs of very hot soapsuds, each supplied with' a wa=h!board, and a third tub with slightly soapy, hot water and a wringer. Put each piece through whole process before taking up next. Wash! white flannels first, then gray and red. Wash in first two suds, ri'nso in third, put through- wringer andi immediately put on line, 'hanging heaviest part downward. When dry damp- . on' evenly and thoroughly, roll tightly and iron with very warm irons. On the contrary,, some persons insist that it is far better not lo iron woolens. To wash blankets, first shake tha blankets thoroughly, place them' in- a tub and cover with tepid water,_to which has been added a strongt solution of ammonia. Immerse the well nn this, solution, but' do not rub iliem, or the material with become "felly.'' Pre^s them well to the sides of tho tub, squeeze them, and change tho water two or three timea until they appear; clean. Wring with a wringer as dry as possible.' You will see as they dry on the line (hat a little wa- will collect yi Ihe four corners. This muit be squeezed out from time to time, or the blankets will become hard in those parts. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Mainy a bright young woman can cloau her own furs and also many varieties of fancy work, by placing the collarette, muff or other article to be cleaned o;n a hard surface, such CARRIES K1S ASHES. Inconsolable widows sometimes adopt curious ways of keeping the memory of their departed spouses green. But the palm for originality in this respect must be awarded to a Boston actress, who, waking and sleeping, always carried .the ashes of her cremated husband in a chamois leather bag close to her heart. The bag is suspended by a gold chain,from her neck; and she has declared that' if she could not feel it'B gentle pressure it would be impossible for her' to sing, act, or dance. This gifted if eccentric, lady is the widow of a well known actor, who died some six mouths ago, leaving directions for the cremation of his re-, mains. It was orig,nally the widow's intention to deposit the ashes in a church in an elaborate silver urn, which she had purchased for the purpose.' But when she had to leave Now York, where her husband had died, to go on tour with her company, she could not bear the thought of leaving his ashes behind. - She thought of various schemes, and consulted with ler friends. Finally, she had a pretty little, chamois leather bag made, and therein she plaoed the'dust of her cremated husband. Sometime afterwards the sorrowing widow made the acquaintance of the leading lady of another theatrical company during a short. stay at Philadelphia, and to this bright particular star became greatly attached. In the course of a midnight tete-a- tete, after they had returned , from their respective performances, the widow produced the precious bag and showed the peculiar contents to her friend. Then, after caressing it fondly, she gravely opened the bag, and taking a pinch of the greyish ashes in her-: fingers remarked, with much solemnity: ' " I'll give you some of the dust. It will bring you luck, and 1 know that if poor Ted had lived he would hove wished you luck." Then she sprinkled some of the ashes about the lady's bed, with the result that the " star," who is as superstitious as theatrical people usually are, was almost frightened into hysterical fits. The eccentric action of lho bereaved widow fillod her with dire forebodings, and ever since she has insisted on her maid sleeping in the same room with her, as a protection against the evil influences she ascribes to tha dead man's ashes. AFRAID. TO BID. At an auction salo of miscellaneous goods at a country store, the auctioneer put: up a- buggy robe of fairly good quality. '.'An old farmer inspected it closely, seemed to think there was a bargain in it, and yet he hesitated to bid. Think it choap? asked the auctioneer, crying a 10-cent bid. Yes, kinder, was the reply. Then, why don't you bid and get it? Wall, I've bought heapa o' things in dry goods and so on. slowly rejoined the old man, and I never yet. took home anything thaf the old woman thought * was worth the price. If I got that 'ere robe for even fifteen cents she'd grab it: up. pull at one end, chaw on a corner and call cat. Cheated again ��������� more'n half cotton!

We mny not yet bo thanked for saying so, but we are .fully confident the time will before long nrrive Svhen the anore sensible men of the miners' 1111- . ion will sec their own weaknesses 'are 'the cause of their inefficiency as ft ��������� factor in 'settling lho/ present labor : trouble. They will /see' also that, no matter what their present , feelings maybe, The Review has given them .throughout the 'advice of a friend instead of thatof ah enemy,. We may ������ay at the outset;,that the local-,union has been most ..unfortunate in the selection of some of its officers,'-., because' -of the channels into which they ha*ve -'. driven its trend. 'The Coeur d'Alene ; course cannot succeed in this country. Under the management of cool, eonsid- '7 urate heads.it miglit have been made a, - tower of strength ioci.ts.-.niep'ibers^ and a ' source of much service to all classes of ��������� /the community, on the basis that "union * is strength'." Strength in a cora- '������������������'��������� ineii'clab.le', course is, always successful; ,' but in iirGverse.oi-ie always injurious. '/It was allright .for the men to bodily: /.endeavor to get the highest wages they ���������7 coukl.get;-but it .'should be.on.'the'fuil equivalent plan; It wns not merjtor- / ions Dp ask the 'highest 'wages' for.men the union weh;knew were hot:capable - miners. Neither was it right in the ��������� aiegotiations with''the owners to leave loopholes, to wage successfully contemplated trouble. It had no right to" -.ask for the'.destruction of nny niau's .. liberty by- suggesting the dismissal of inen who refused to become sheep of it3 fold. It is not unions the .owners are looking for but good -men for good 'pay.; It was also as absurd to ask for .the liberty of inspection of works by union officers. .This left the field open for a renewal of trouble on a slender pretext at any time, when it is only the workman who is actually employed .'.that is the best judge of the condition of the workings. Bad, however, as these conditions were the refusal . to sign an absolute contract for a year was the worst of them all. The public one and all know tliat that was a con-, dition for another atrike after the mines got well under way, or else plunder from the owners. Wo fully believe that the rank and file of the membership nre square, honest men, who, when the last offer was submitted, felt it was an'absolute agreement for permanent employment. The wire-pullers, however, knew differ- "ently; and the mistake of the union lay in leaving conclusions with ttu-m. One of their greatest mistakes, then, throughout is in the choice of officers. In all such differences as the present amicable, lasting settlements can only be got on the give and take principle, in a spirit of manliness and fair. play. Rowdyism cr.n never accomplish anything but discredit to'the parties em- <ploying it. Brute force, intimidation, etc., site, are oquiliy more than ineffectual. If the union hern wants to be of any ���������'strength in the future, it -must cut itself loose from such relations as it has now with the W. F. of M., who have no interest in the welfare of this country; it mustjolace itself in the hands of officials, who are ever ready to meet all friends or foes in a spirit of gentlemanliness and fair play, and rely for all time on the righteousness of its cause and the reason of all with whom it hns to do business, instead of such rowdyism and brute force as was supposed by some heretofore to he the only agency of moral suasion requisite for triumph. If the union makes these changes and some other reforms on .the same line, it will soon have the ear and respect of all, and be able to secure all that is right and fair for its membership, the interests of all.others considered, without either clash or,calamity. vJTTOH S/lft.'i. .ilj/i'] 1 A llrng-stbn Lady's Expax'ioiico AvlVh Milburn's Hcnrt and Nerve Pills in Roliovint dition. ��������� this Distressing Can- / "I have suffered'for soma years with d smothering sonsatioii. caused by ln'iu t 'dif?easo. 1.

Our readers will admit that from the first of this struggle, The Review has been disposed to be fair to both sides, .and this is the course we intend to continue to the end. Our leanings may have been at times towards the owners, :}>ut it was simply because a.spirit of fair play rendered it necessary. There 'were our politicians, aspirants and some business men coquetting unfairly with the miners, merely for what they were getting out of them in votes and sales���������nothing more.

To suddenly change conditions was, at least, a breach of faith. - The owner who.nnticipated permanency when he made investments, has every right to look for conditions that will leave relations practically' as'they, stood before. The miner who is opposed to such a change can readily change his location without loss.. The owner cannot do it,; his, money is sunk, and lie has to fight it out to make the best,of if.

Then to be reasonable, the fact that it is sunk here should not render it game for thoHe whose forethought goes no further than immediate '.gain.

Tlie miners take every class of man 'into , the union to prevent: their taking the';.wages they are actually worth, all .circumstances considered, and then thoy'want $3.50,a day for all, whether silver is 40, or 75 cents, whether the properties tiirn out well or not, and thoy invoke the aid of legislatures to' prevent the income of outsiders to alter the situation. True ���������to the instincts of the demagogue, the legislatures aire disposed to concede demands that they may got votes'in return. We ask any sensible man if lie thinks the country can.grow and prosper under such conditions ? ;: It will be argued, and very properly too, that the capitalist'' wants labor nt the lowest figure, no matter what his prolits: from that labor, may be.' If again'this i3 checkmated by the government opening,tip plenty of work to keep the demand for labor in excess of the supply, the capitalist has to pay the price which legitimate compction says labor is "worth"., In such, cases capital is powerless; proper wages: work and other conditions considered: rule, and this is, the way .it should be in ruining in the Slocan as well as with labor anywhere. . ������������������ FUNINQ/ STOCK- AND OTHER IfiVESTMENTS We'..believe many members of the union are anxious to have the machine recede from its former impracticable^ position and renew negotiations with the owners : but this is simply out of the question. The miners' union as officered and constituted here cannot again; become an element to reckon with >by the owners. Unions built, on liberal ^principles ' having always the welfare Of the country as well .as their own financial gains at heart,and standing aloof, from outside associations whose tendencies are extremely socialistic, can always hope to be regarded with public favor ; but when,they, are officered by '..men whose resolutions arc of , tho "rule, or ruiri" stamp, theyJ'oan never hope to become a' powerful factor with the Canadian people. The connections of the union here are its most serious drawback, aiid will ever stand in the way of its permanent success. What the ultimate intentions of the owners are, we do not know ; nor have we knowledge of whence their future employes are to come, We do know, however, that it is their intention to ��������� * control their own properties and work them with suitable men. at reasonable wages, work considered, and.arc at almost any time ready to receive propositions from miners on these lines, but they are done forever with the union machine. The Silvertonian says in criticising the Royal commission to investigate the situation in the Slocan,'.'Could any one think of a better scheme for the disintegration of the local miners' unions. * * '* Thus for a beginning we would see two factions among the now united miners. * * * They could hot .hope to be able to take up the strike where they loft off owing to the likely presence of a great many strange miners in their midst." _ All of which goes to show that though the heavens fall and the earth go up in smoke, the miners' unions must be kept intact. .They are the only things in heaven or on earth that are worth contending for. We may, however, assure our neighbor that these same unions must come off their high horses, and, as at present constituted, break up of their own weaknesses, before they can ever again become a- considerable element in tho settlement of the Slocan difficulty. An exchange to the south of us does not like our criticisms of the actions of tlie miners'union. We may add that there are scores of honest niiners, members of the union too, who in their hearts criticise as we do. The great body of the union felt that when the owners met them more thin half way, and thoy by a heavy vote decided to accept the offer, that everything was settled. They know,and we know, that the after conditions of tho unien, which prevented a settlement, were intended to be a delusion and a snare to entrap the owners. There are scores in the union,who do not like intents to deceive any more than others do. The public, one and all, feel for those miners who honestly want to go to work, and are preyented from doing so by the machine of the union. "I had female trouble for eight years,"; writes Mrs. L. J. Dennis, of 828 East College St., Jacksonville,- Ills. " Words'cannot express what I suffered. I sought relief among the ���������medical profession and found none.

It is only natural il should, since when a woman is, as she thinks/innocently sipping the juice of some sweet flower, she is in reality drinking; a form of alcohol much more dc.dly in its effects than her husband's most flaring drink.

Altogether we were at the office FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES during tho day, having to travel tho distance in full view of those ���������iO-pound- ors. "At 7 a.m., the General nsked me to go in with another telegram, adding that hu wished us to destroy all military messages that had .been sent. I replied that my staff and myself would go in, but I pointed out that we did not.desire to bo abandoned, and I asked him iC he could let us know when they were, retreating to Lady- smith.

At the period abovo named tho metal pins now in use were invented, and people of fashion woro eager to possess them. TI103 al once became tho most popular and acceptable Now Year's gift for ladies, but it soon growl customary to give, instead of the pins themselves, tho money with wihich to purchase them, and this was called "pin money," a term which gradually came to bo applied to all money given to ladies for dress and personal adornment. QUEENS AND TYPEWRITERS. The Queen of England has a great dislike to typewritten communications, and does not allow any documents that are supposed to emanate from tho Sovereign to bo sent out typewritten. The Czarina, on the other hand, has taken a great fancy to the typewriter, and is the owner of a machine with type- bars of gold and frame set with pearls.

Durham Brown's letter, as published lash week, is cor- rob'aitod by his brother and all who know him. Many other people in Kenmoro know from personal experience the,value of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Mr. A. G. Kamiay from the offices of President and General Manager of the Canada Life Assur-: ance Company took effect on the 31st of December. The Bjard of Directors at their tirst meeting of the year, held, yo-terday, on proceeding to fill the office of President elected the Vice- President, Mr. P. W. Gates- of Hamilton, to that position. Mr. Gates, however, on account of his. advanced years and impaired health, felt compelled to decline the distinction, und the Hon. George A. Cox was unanimously elected as President of tho company. It was but just and,fitting that he i Directors should turn to the man who during these forty years had labored with Mr. Ramsay to make the company the magnificent success it is to-day. Starting in as an agent of the company at the age of, 21 years,' Mr. Cox at once brought to bear on the- business that' tireiess energy and- indomitable will which have over been characteristic of the man, and to which his position in the world, of finance is, to-day largely due. Discouragement and fatigue which would havo daunted a loss courageous spirit only served as an incentive to greater effort when there was a prospect of securing .business. Personal con-, cnience was net | considered���������it was iho welfare of the I company that was at slako, and as a < result of his faithful, energetic; ferv-j ice the business grew and, prospered. I Ar! time went by the company, recog- : sizing the devotion of Mr.- Cox to its welfare, gradually increased his territory, until it embraced all Ontario east of Toronto and came to b8 recognized as the" company's most, important branch. In 1892 his wise counsel and groat experience in insurance matters won for him a place, on the Board/ of Directors of the company, which he has since occupied. ��������� While the Senator's keen -judgment and wide experience m inve: tments have given him a cornrnanding place in finiiucial circles,, it is , his recognjzad position in the insurance world ot Canada which causes 'riot only the Directors of the company but its thousands of policy-holders to turn by' common consent to the.man who,is best fitted to maintain its prestige and- continue the- honorable, conservative policy which has made the Canada Life Assurance Company almost a national institution. ��������� ��������� When in 1861 Mr; Cox first became connected with tho company as its local agent at P.eierboro', its business in torce amounted to only ������3.5l'0,COD. Today; at the close of 'tlio most successful year in its history, .its business in force stands at over $76,(100,000,' or twenty-two times greater than m 1861. . It will be a matter of congratulation to those interested in the company's welfare to learn that Senator Cox will arrange to give u large share of his personal attention to the eon- duct of its affairs, and that he will have the active assistance and co-op- eiration of his son.

How often mothers arc perplexed and driven nearly to despair by their little ones losing appetite and refusing a 11 manner of food when children will take ������o������ ������SZEd 660 at nearlyany time.

Our inlormant says Mr. Hand's cool reply was, "I am not sure that even such a bull as that would keep them out of heaven." In speaking of the operation of the eight-hour law in the Slocan. Mr. Mc- Pnerson, ol Vancouver, said in tin- House, "It was a matter ol daily occurrence that men were carried out of the shalts insensible because ol the long hours." Mr. McPherson would make his lortune 11 lie would go to some country where they pay 10 cents an hour for lying. Spokanc has the small-pox to a considerable extent, and the provincial authoiities and corporation councils are uomg what they can to prevent us Coming across the line. Mail hags and all mail matter are well fumigated, and all passengers from and through . that city who cannot show a good clearance are sent back. Too much care cannot be taken to prevent the importation of the germs of that dreaded disease. A gentleman is circulating a petition ; asking signatures to a proposition to close the mines and stop all unnecessary work oh Sundays. He says nine out of ten of the miners refuse to sign it, saying they want to make ail they can ' here in a short time and then clear out. What does the legislature think of giving all such the ballot to sway the legislation of the country, when their object is to leave it as soon as they can : make some rnoney out of it ? 'Magistrate' Crease had to sit on a Chinamen meelee case at Nelson the other day, and employed a novel device to "impress the solemnity of .an oath. He got the celestials to write their own names in their own characters on slips of paper. He then , threw the papers into the stove and told his witnesses that their souls would burn in hell as did the papers in the stove if they did not tell the truth. We suppose they told it, if it suited their purposes best. If the C.P.R. are losing it in freights in tho Sloouir these times, they arc making it in telegraphy. About 40 messages a day are sent from, and 50 received at the Sandon office, making . the earnings of the office over $800 a month. Tho agent here complains loudly, and very properly, against the cramped facilities at his command for the extensive miscellaneous business, having but two poorly equipped wires. Very often these wires are held for hours at a time at other places for answers, making the service here very unsatisfactory to all. Let the S'ocan have more telegraph wires to suit the business, even if it is not shipping ore. ' The dance given on Thursday evening (Bobby Burns' anniversary) by the band in Virginia hall was a very successful affair. Citizens, miners and many outsiders to the number of 80 couples or more were in attendance making a very pleasant evening for all ' concerned. Although the exchequer of the band may not be greatly enriched, as they aBked for nothing gratis, the boys feel very grateful for the generous patronage of the public. With the good music, equally good supper and the presence of so many of the youth and beauty and good dancers of the city and surroundings, it could not help but be a pleasaNt affair to all in attendance. |i The nnprinciplcd section of the press and their sympathisers still blame the owners for the continued trouble, such as it is, in the Slocan, when they know the responsibility rests wholly on the shoulders of the" W. F.'of M. and the unions. The owners offered $3.25 for stoping and higher wages for other kinds of work. The oiler was accepted by vote, and the unions refuse to allow the men to accept unreservedly. The onlyspoint in dispute in the district, i-= whether it shall be tho unions or the owners that sh ill manage the mines. The oiler accepted by tho men is still open to all good men who will apply at the mines and take it up. What more do they want? With tome it is of more importance that tho unions instead of tlio country should prosper. Will Mi. Green bring these facts before the House and show it is the unions and ^the XV. Y. of M. tliat are responsible for the prolonged trouble here. "Wood's Fhosplioaine, The Great English Remedy. Sold and recommended by all druggists in Canada. Only reliable medicine discovered.
