Vancouver Shipping Men Mako Com
plant AgaInst His Methods.
VANCOUVER, B. c., March Especial. +
A statement is made to-day by Agent
Leman, prominent in shipping and marine
circles, of the exact causes for complaint
against United States Consular Agent
Ewing. The facts therein stated are some
what as follows: First. with regard to
consular invoices. The United States laws
require all shippers Of goods from Canada
or any other foreign country to send along
with the shipment document known as
q consular invoice. 1t is an authenticated
statement of the value of the export solely
as a safeguard against any attempt to
evadc the American customs Law, and
must be certified to by the United States
consul. At the same time the Canadian
law, under pain of a 500 penalty, requires
the exporter to procure an outward entry.
The customs officials here can always be
found, but according to the statement
made. the consul cannot be found in his
Office during Office hours, except in rare
cases. Where he puts in his time is not
stated, but there can be no doubt that he
is not always at his Office during hours.
There is consequently very serious delay
at times IN shipping goods, and one boat
chandisc could he got away.
The second charge is in connection with
landing certificates. Goods sent here from
New York or other American ports of
entry in bond require to be entered on one
of these certificates before they can be re-
leased. That is, there must be a certificate
that the goods are taken ont of bond at
foreign port or the duty paid. in order that
they may be properly released. In con-
nes.tion with these certificates Consul
Ewing Is extremely strict, and while he
may i,c protected IN the strict interpreta-
ton Of the lax his action is regarded as
arbitrary and unjust.
Another serious difficulty is that when
ali American wishes to make legal entry
here as required by the United States laws,
Mr.. Ewing holds that masters alone must
make entry. The purser or no one else
will be accepted, and as this ruling presses
very hardly on the shipping men, they are
complaining. The names given in con-
nection with these various charges are
Oppenheimer Bros, wholesale grocers;
q. +. and G. J. Gait, wholesale teas; Leask,
customs broker; Nesbit, customs broker,
and the pursers of the Walla Walla,
Premier and Umatilla. Mr.. Ewing's
friends claim that in case of an investiga-
ton he will be held to have acted perfectly
within the law, and that while a more
liberal Interpretation might be made, the
consul's position will be sustained. Mr..
Ewing, when asked if he had any state
ments TO make. said: "No; all l would
like you to say is that you called upon me
and that positively, but respectfully, de-
clined 10 make any statement or explana-
ton whatever about the matter. If any
one has any charge to make about the way
any official business is conducted. the way
to bring the matter up is to communicate
with me personally or through the public
press over his own name. Then will
take notice Of the complaint, but not till
then"

ROMANTIC MOCK MARRIAGE.

The Groom Was i'll Earnest, But the Bride
Considered 1t Joke,
The Newburg News is responsible for the
following story: The KiskatOm Retreat
House, in the shadow of the old Catskiil
Mountain House. was recently the scene of
a singular affair. Thomas Cook, a youth
born in the mountains. who knows not bis
age, nor is he able to read or write his name,
fell desperately in love with charming
young schoolteacher who was boarding at
the above named hotel She was Of hay
ride party who had stopped al Leeds for
dance, and it was there that Thomas met
her and proposed marriage on the spot.
Just for a lark she agreed to marry him the
following day at o'clock. The day and the
hour came. and so did Tom. His wedding
dress consisted of pair of top boots, we'll
patched pair of trousers, and sunbeam
straw hat.
The bride wore an elegant white satin
dress, trimmed with orange blossoms, snd a
tulle veil. The boarders, one and all. gath
cred in the front parlor to witness the cere-
monial farce. Tom and his ladY-love soon
entered the room arm IN arm. and Brook
Ign youth Tobed as an Episcopal clergyman
and two others r0bed and carrying candles
went through the regular marriage cere-
mony of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
Both parties answered all the requisite ques-
tons.
After the ceremony reception was held,
during which she told him to "go home to
his mother and stay there" This, how
ever, Thomas refused to 10, and threatened
TO have both the mock clergyman and the
charming young lady arrested unless she
came home with him at once. She finally
agreed to go home with him the following
day in the afternoon. The following morn
ing both she and the minister left the
country. This season both of them re-
turned. Thomas heard Of 1t. and is after
them, il is said. with warrant. The min
lister and the teacher have again fed from

THE LEGION OF HONOR.
NaD0leolS TWGdk Of The ET-A Case Of
N0bleSSe Oblige.

Recompenses for galiantry vary with ma
tionalities. Once on time there was an
understood man with a sallow face and eyes
that drove right through you. BE was clad
in gray coat, and wore cooked hat He
was a latter-day Caesar. that was ALL who
made and unmade kings. 1t was his wont
after some bard-fOught battle, before the
wheel burrows of the artillery had been
smoothed away, the ground still SCARED
with shells, and the dead, friend and foe,
not yet returned to earth-it was his wont
to call some bronzed grenadier from the
ranks and to simply pull his ears, and that
touch Of an Emperor, that tweaking, was a
conservation and gave something akin to
Immortality.
That soldier must have been the bravest
OF the brave, otherwise Napoleon would
never have been familiar with him. Then
the masterful man would detach small
cross from his person, pin II with his own
hands on the breast of the smOke-begrimed
soldier, and how the fighting legions would
howl like wolves that hoarse cry, I'VE will
die for the Emperor" And it was no
vaporing, for to gain that cross half
million of men stood ready to bite the dust.
Somehow the traditions Of cross thus
acquired live on and on.
poor lone woman in wretched quarter
of New York was dying. With nalting voice

My son." afterward said that kindly
priest, what that woman told was true. 1t
shows us-eXcuse my homiy-the viciss-
tudes OF life. We buried her at the cost OF
the church. not that that makes any differ
ence thank God for the rest of her soul;
but that woman's grandfather was General
of cayalry-rose from the ranks-and dur
ing the fine days of the empire he was OF
Murats staff; and yesterday | transmitted
to France the cross. IL was sacred. Though
the wOman's family had gone to wreck and
ruin, she. poor soul, was honest may say,
a God-fearing woman. The cross of the
Legion of Honor saved her. Why should
such material thing have had such last
ing effect? 1t was case OF noblesse

A YOUNG BACHELORS EXPENSES.


How He Gets Along at a Salary of $1,000
Year Not Easily to Explain.
What is the cost for winter in Washing
ton to an ordinarily careful young bache-
Tor? In the first place his dancing club
takes, say $50. Then his own club for half
a year is about S25. To live for six months
at moderately expensive boarding-h house
in a small room is $40 month, OF $40 He
smokes cigars and cigarettes, and IL he is a
generous smoker this will amount to about
$50. Surprising him to be a moderate club
man, his club bill for "sundrieS" will be
about $40 month. or SEQ Now for his
clothes. He may not need new dress suit,
so that can be left out but he will be quite
shoes and various other adornments. OF
course he must go to a good tailor. and
these two suits will cost S125. He must
have, say, three pairs of shoes, and not
being over extravagant will get them for
S21. Cravats. gloves, hat, shirts, collars
and cuffs may be estimated roughly at S106.
To add up, then, gives total of SALT for
what may be termed Injuries and $40 for
necessary living. OF the S417 the danring
club. the social club and the club bill for
''sundrieS' are purely unnecessary. The
smoking, II he uses pipe and only smokes
moderately need not cost more than $40,
and the clothes could be bought together
with the eravats, ETC., for less than 500. II
he chose to do it, therefore, he could live for
S1l0 outside of his board; winter would
not cost him more than $3.50. How on earth
does young bachelor who only gets $500 q
year make two ends meet at the end of the
year? The estimate given above is a very
moderate one, and yet the six months of the
winter have amounted to S657, without
taking into account a single ticket 20 the
theater or single blowout. "-Washington

Washington. as who Is not who is I'm 1t.
Her first attempt was a grand success-a
shepherdess dress of elegant brocade made
at her own house by herself and maid
She wore it Mt one of the most elegantenter-
tainments. All social Washington was
upset by the beautiful. unique dress. She
conceived the idea of using the much-dis-
pissed Mary Walker divided skirts and
underwear. Time has not dulled the interest
these innovations created, but only in
creased it. A house in this city alone
supplies at least 5000 ladies with these gar
mentS.
The followers, too, are among the ellie.
No one need be shocked at any OF these gar
ments. They are not designed TO expose the
form. only 10 give it more freedom OF ACTON.
Clubs are being formed every ana the
first of the land are using the health-glving
and beautiful garments.
Mrs. Miller says her own comfort was her
first thought, but she was puzzled now 10
dress so as not to look odd--as attractive
clothes was her hobby and like many
women she was not willing 10 dress hide
ousIy this year TO be healthy next. She knew
ali those belts and bands about the waist
could 10 longer be endured. 80 she began
to reconstruct her own. A fellow-feeIlng
caused her to tell others, and then she was
hurled into greatness. A really modest
woman breads crowds, and so it was with
Mrs. Miller, but the plant of suffering
women found an echo in the memory OF her
own sufferings, and she went forth and
found herself heralded as the apostle OF a
new dress dispensation."
A word to those who seem to be diScour-
aged by the immensely of the task in chang
ing apparel throughout to such as have
short purses and long desires. 1t is the old
story of Rome not being built in day.
Begin by purchasing combination under
wear, since even you cauno afford to erect
your house on sand foundation. If you
do not get the equestrian tights AT first. ar
range your skirt-dOn't wear more than one
if you can possibly help ton light cot
ton waist such as children wear. Discard
the corset, and, if you cannot at first go
without some support, get one of the waists
SO largely advertised that are dependent
from the shoulders, and which button in
stead of working by steel ribs. When yOnr
muscles are sufficiently firm to go without
any underwaiSt at all it will be still better.
Then such dresses as are not made on
princesse foundation you can make hang
from the shoulders in the same way as the
underskirts. 1t is an easy matter for any
one who can sew.
Another thing to be remembered is that
the reform-dress waists are never tight.
There is no excuse for having dress close
fitting unless by the assumption that cloth
ing means another skin and not drapery.
Then as dresses wear out-as they have
way of doing-they can be easily replaced
by reform styles, and you NAV become by an
easy graduation clothed and in your right
mind.
