Our correspondent, in his COM
ments on the steamer Hope, has
opened up q subject that should oc
cupy the attention OF Port Town
sends business men. We need not
only regular steam communication
with the Islands and Whatcom coun-
ty, in order to inspire business con-
idence and build up trade, but a mail
route should be extended to New
Westminster A few years ago an
effort was made through Hon. o.
Jacobs, then Delegate in Congress,
to secure mail facilities between
Semiahnoo and New Westminster
direct, but it was futile through the
unwillingness Of the Canadian gov
ernment to reciprocate. The real
trouble seemed to be that q certain
member Of the Ottawa Commons re-
sided at Victoria and was interested
in diverting trade from the mainland
Of British Columbia to Vancouvers
Island, via Victoria. Times have
changed, however, since then, and
with new blood among the NJ. P.'s

HUMPTY DUMPTY's PIoNIo.-This en-
tertainment will be presented at Good
Templars' Hall on Monday evening next.
From all reports, and from the adyer-
tisement elsewhere, we may safely pre-
dict such an uproariously jolly time as
people here have not seen for many q
day. The following, from the s. F..
Chronicle, q careful critic, will give our
readers an idea OF the general character
and worthiness OF the affair: "On
Thursday evening we are to be favored
with the Andrews h Stockwell's Ideal
Pantomime and Star Specially Company,
a very large organization composed Of
pantomime, specially and spectacular
artists. In the pantomime department
the familiar names Of Andy Morris, the
clown, Ida Maussey, the graceful colum-
bine, W. II. Bray, the mirth-provoking
pantaloon, and numerous celebrities APP
pear. The specially department is re-
markably strong. The musical genius,
Bernard McCreedy; the wonderful calls
thenic and autipodean artists, the Mo-
rosco Bros; the eccentric and witty
Dutch comedian, Will H. Bray; the
handsome and bewitching song-and-
dance and skipping-rope artistic, May
Smith; the gymnastic marvel, Frank
Monroe; the Moores, Charles and Clara,
in their marvellous exhibition on roller
skates; Andrews & Stockwell's troupe OF
nine performing dogs, and a long array
OF other acts appear This company has
grand scenery and magnificent costumes
which are shown to good advantage in
the spectacular department"

Our dispatches today in regard to
the Idaho legislature indicate that
Mormonism, instead Of dying out,
as many have trie d to persuade them
selves, is fast attaining domination
over that territory as we'll as Utah.
The latter is using every means to
gain admission to the Union as a
state, although her people know that
our national constitution and all our
laws are intolerant of polygamy. 1t
is claimed by some that the next
Congress, being democratic, will adj
nit her, polygamy and all, for the
sake of getting a democratic state.
We do not believe it. Whatever
lengths the leaders Of that political
faith might be disposed to go in Or
der to strengthen their party in the
nation, the rank and file of the demo
cracy would never sanction such in
fanny. No government or state can
flourish as long as an important
feature Of it's makeup is founded in
bestial lust and fanatical bigotry,
and Utah must purify herself or re-
main in a territorial state, Win
doms Utah G Commission is practically
failure, except as to what it is
pleased to term"hopeful Indications"
and it must have moro direct and
special legislation even at that.
Mormon elders and missionaries are
no less determined to evade all laws
looking to the abolition of polygamy
than industrious in building up their
Church. Polygamy is insidious in
its growth, and will probably have to
behandled yet as slavery was before
the country is rid of it.

THE M'MAHAN MURDER

CHICAGO, Aug. ga Mount Polaski,
IN special says Charles McMah on, who
with his hired men, fell victims to assas-
aims near here, is owner of a splendid farm
where he dWelt in quiet retirement as be-
comes man of forty, and had accumulat-
oil q large fortune. He was a bachelor
and did his own house keeping, John Car
lock aged 1S, and Bob Mathews, aged 90
being the only other men about the place.
Roth were Quiet and industrious, and, like
Mcmahon, were much esteemed. They
were last seen on Thursday last week
stacking wheat. The neighbors observing
their absence searched for them Satur
dsy. and finally found all their bodies
fostering and Extensively odorous in the
rank weeds about the house. McMahon's
thaoat was cut from ear to ear. and his head
almost severed from the body, the cash ex
tending clean down to the spinal column.
There was no shape to the battered head.
about which a cloth had been tied. The
bodies of Carlock and Mathews were COW
cred with clotted gore; their throats were
cut as their masters had been. The limbs
we're bound securely with twine taken from
the reaping machine, gagged and blind
folded with cloths. Everything pointed to
the most fiendish determination and delib-
crate purpose The mouse was ransacked
and So 600 in money taken and the house
hold goods all broken. The Coroner's
Jury decided that the murder was com
mitted by some unknown person or
persons. The whole country is ablaze and
everybody is alert Lynch law viii be in
evitable if the murderers can be secured.
Suspicion rests on man who worked for
the farmer some months ago, and who was
seen on the farm on Thursday. Foot prints
of two men walking single file were fol
lowed two miles across lots till the trail was
lost in the main road. There are no other
clues The assassins had watered and fed
the horses and taken other precautions to
prevent discovery of the crime. They were
no novices in the dreadful work. jake,
who is suspected, is tramping farm hand,
and quarreled with Mcmahon about year
ago

VERY LIKE A CRANK.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 22.-Wm. E Fitz-
patrick, claiming to heir to be the throne of
Ireland, has been writing to Gladstone to
urge on his royal sister, Victoria, that she
renounce her title to his country. He does
not appear to be crank
Crop reports this morning are univer-
sally favorable, except one from GAINESVILLE,
Wis, which reports the berry of the spring
wheat so shrunken as to make the crop a
failure and one farmer has burned forty
five acres in the shock. Other farmers
will do the same, but this condition OF
affairs is confined to narrow belt.

A Wonderful Telephone.

Mexican papers contain an account of
an invention by scientific gentleman
of that country of telephone which
easily carries the sound of the voice to
the distance of fifteen hundred miles.
One paper, in commenting on an inven-
ton which may well make North Ameri-
can inventors look to their laurels, says:
''Until now no telephone apparatus has
been able, in the regular course of busi
ness. to transmit sound more than nine
ty miles. 1t is to be desired that the
Minister of Public Works will boldly
profit by the utilization of SO notable and
aseful an invention"

Dressing Quickly.

A lady writes from behind the scenes:
was just realizing that they were plan
ming to effect lightning change of cos
tune when the actress herself bounced
III. She was warm from her exertion on
the stage, but not bit f1urried. She
did not lose single moment, though
she chatted glibly with me all the while.
First she picked up the gloves and be-
gan to put them on. At the same time
the maid unlocked her dress from top
to bottom with quick, deft fingers. and
stripped off the whole garment in a
twinkfing. The pretty creature stood
before me in her white clothes, laughing
at my expression of surprise at the rap
id disrobement. She seated hbrself, and
extended her feet for the maid to take
off her shoes and stockings. The latter,
being stripped down over the feet in a
jiffy, did not disclose the naked flesh,
but elaborately clocked silk hose, so that
the fresh pair were already on. By the
time the slippers were on, the actress
had got the last button of her glove in
its buttonhole
A minute and half had elapsed.
Both had not only worked with great
rapidity, but without any false motions
or vexation of any sort. Then the maid
took off several puffs and bow from
her mistress's head-her hair in the last
act having been simply dressed-and
put on the more elaborate blonde wig,
fastening it in place with hair pins, and
setting lock here and there into place.
Next the actress stood up, and the maid
swiftly put her into the dress that had
lain on the chair. Every part of it fell
admirably into place, the drapery across
the front hiding the junction. and plent-
iful hooks and eyes holding altogether.
Standing before a full length mirror
she finally surveyed herself critically, at
Just three minutes and half from the
start, and then she was ready to go on
the stage.
There is a hint in this for women who
are not actresses. We spend vast
amount of time in adjusting the acces-
sories of toilet, only to take them apart
when we doff the dress. Most of them
might as well be fastened permanently
where they belong.
