We ran out of the snow through mile
upon mile of snow sheds, braced with II
inch beams and planked with two-inch
planking. In one place a snowslide had
caught just the edge of shed and scooped
it away as a knife scoops cheese. High up
the hills men had built diverting barriers to
turn the drifts, but the drifts had swept
over everything and lay five feet deep on
on the banks of the muddy Frazer river, and
the spring was hurrying to meet us.
The snow had gone; the pink blossoms of
the wild currant were open, the budding
alders stood misty green against the blue
black pines, the brambles on the burned
stumps were in the tenderest leaf and every
moss on every stone was this years work
fresh from the hand of the Maker. The
land opened into clearings of soft black
earth. At one station one hen had laid one
egg and was telling the world about it.
The world answered with breath of the
real spring-spring that flooded the stuffy
car and drove us out on the platform to
snuff and sing and rejoice and pluck
at the colts, and shout at the wild ducks
that rose from jewel green lakelet. God

LONDON, May 14-Theosophy in Lon

received some time ago by the almost mirac-
ulous conversion of Mrs. Besant The
resignation of Colonel Olcott who, with
Madame Blavatsky, was one of the found
ers of the sect and was chosen life
president of the society, has not helped
matters Colonel Olcott resigned not
because he has lost faith in Mahatmas, but
because he found the pressure of work more
than he could stand That no rupture has
taken place between him and the faithful is
testified by the fact that the latter have
started subscription in order to make COM
Portable provision for the Colonel through
the rest of his life, which he proposes to
spend in India
One of the flock tells curious thing
about the final disposition of the remains of
Madame Blavatsky. As was made known at
the time of her death, she was cremated.
Atterward the ashes were brought to Lon
don, and at secret meeting between Mrs
Annie Besant and Mr.. Judge, secretary of
the society, were solemnly divided into
three parts, one going to India, second to
New York and the third remaining to make
London holy place for the faithful.

The mountain torrent is boss of palest

ened and smirched with the smoke of the

aching eyes.
But the men who live upon the line nave

half dozen dogs are chasing pig off the

IBr CABLE TO THE DIspAroH.I
LONDON, May 14-Hallet Alsop Bor-
rowe's blood-thirstiness has not been as
suaged by the duel with Edward Fox. He
last Sunday entrusted Harry Vane Milbank
with letter to Colonel Tom Ochiltree and
verbal message to Fox. The letter
to Ochiltree stated that Borrowe had twice
called at the Colonies chambers and been
refused admission, and that Borrowe de-
manded to see him to ascertain If the
charge that Ochiltree had made threat to
spit in his face were true.
The message to Fox was that Borrowe
would like to meet Fox again on the field
of honor, and fight with pistols at eight
PAGES until one of the two was killed or in
capacitated from holding his weapon. Mil
bank called upon Ochiltree, but did not
give him the letter. The Colonel said he
would not fight a duel with anybody upon
SO trifiing pretext
Milbank did mot take Borrowe's mes
mage to Fox. However, he told Borrowe
that if he wanted to fight Fox again there
must be new cause of quarrel, as duel
no matter how it ended, wiped out all ex-
listing grievances between the principals
thereof Then Borrowe drew up the follow
ing document, which Milbank signed.
beg to state that L implicitly believe Mr..
III. a. Borrowe's statement that he was
totally unaware of the publication of the
correspondence in the Borrowe-Drayton af
fair, and that he never gave his consent or
authority for any publication. Any state
ment that l am neutral in the matter is
therefore untrue. as is also the statement
that my friends have endeavored to induce
me to withdraw from any further connec-
ton with the affair. / am only too happy to
act in the future as 1 have in the past and in
the present, in every and any way in which
Mr.. Borrowe may need my humble services.
The DISPATCH correspondent showed
this to Milbank, who said: ''That means
that believe there was a misunderstanding
between Fox and Borrowe. 1 do not be-
lieve that Borrowe thought the correspond
ence was to be published, neither do be-
lieve that Fox gave it out for publication
believing it to be unauthorized by Bor-
rowe"
Milbank has heard that his unnamed an
tagonist in the recent duel at Ostend is pro-
crossing favorably. The Burgomaster at
Ostend has been removed by the Belgian
Government for ''gross neglect of duty" in
allowing the two duels to take place there.

panion spoke with reverence that was
almost awe. That manager lived in q
palace at Montreal, but from time to time
he would sally forth in his special car and
whirl over his 5000 miles at so miles an
hour. The regulation pace is %, but he
sells his neck with his head. Few drivers
cared fer the honor of taking him over the
road. A mysterious man he was "who
carried the profile of the line in his head, F"
and more than that, knew intimately the
possibilities of back countries which he had
never seen or travelled over. There is
always one such man on every line. You
can hear similar tales from drivers on the
Great Western In England or Eurasian
station masters on the big Northwestern in
India
Then fellow traveller spoke, as many
others had done, on the possibilities of Can

his language was not the language of Mr..

he said mournfully. 'That comes of living
next door to them, but don't think we're
anxious to mix up with their other masses.
They say they don't want us. They keep
on saying 1t. There's a niger IN the fence
somewhere or they wouldn't lie about it. ;"
"But does 1t follow that they are lying?"
.Sure. I've lived among 'em. They can't

From this belief he could not be shaken.
He had lived among them-perhaps had
been beaten in trade. Let them keep them
selves and their manners and customs to
their own side of the line.

District lecturer, Il. w. Harris, of
the Farmers Alliance speaks to the
public through our columns in this
issue. but his article will hardly dis
pei the belief that his mission to the
Eastern Shore was q political one.
: Heralded as-he was by circulars Ito
deliver public address on the prin-
cip!es Of the Farmers Alliance and
the attitude Of the present industrial
movement to the political parties
the inference was natural, as he says
he is not Republican and will not
vote the Democratic Presidential
ticket, that he came in the interest
of the Third party and the people
cou,d not change that opinion, if as
the Pioneer reports, and correctly,we
have no doubt, when questioned,
'.iow he stood with reference to the
Omaha platform, he replied, 1.-THE
Peoples platform is all right; it just
suits the Farmers Alliance. 1t does
not satisfy the Democrats of the
Eastern Shore for man to declare
himself a Democrat as Mr.. Harris
does in his letter-actions speak loud
er than words with them-and his
we're not such as to dispel the cloud
under which he came to them. We
take it. as M Harris asserts, that
The Alliance Order guarantees to
every member his political liberty
and that it is not partizan organi
cation of any kind. We certainly do
not question his right to vote as he
chooses, but when we believe, as we
did in his case, that he proposed to
violate the rules OF the Order by car
rying politics into it, to mislead and
deceive our people. we protested as
was then our right and as we shall
continue to do. The vagaries of the
Third party may suit him, but he
was doubtless convinced that the
farmers of the Eastern Shore take
no stock in them as he failed to fill
.ingle appointment in Accomac and
did not have an audience to air his
peculiar notions to in Northampton.

The fallacy of the current political
cant, that protection increases wager,
has been demonstrated by recent
developments the Carnegie Steel
Works, Homestead, Pa. There it not
cnly did not protect, but when the
aho-ers refused to receive the re-
Gucad wares offered them by the
Carnegie trust in violation of their
contract, Pinkei ton detectives were
called in last week to shoot them
down like dogs if resistance was
made. The strikers did resist the
encroachments of the hireiings of
Carnegie, and not only compelled
them to surrender, but remained
masters Of the situation, until the
lawful authority of the State of Penn
sN lvaria was invoked, when they
quietly submitted. The battle he
tween the strikers and the Pinller-
tons continued nearly for a day,
resulting in the killing and wound
irg of many persons.
We do not approve of the lawless-
oss of the strikers in saying
,hat they we're less in fault than
tie hirelings sent to coerce them
without lawful authority and who
were willing to undertake the job for
lie money which they received, and
that the Mckinley tariff bill comes

nd the Homestead workc been
t-srted as a private enterprise, with
at Cover NOR aid in the shape of
nigh tariff, TIE present difficulty in
all probability would not have oc-
cured. The strikers being to told to
vote the Republican ticket and keep
wages up, naturally rebelled. when

tect their wages as they expected.

Some people are too anxious to save
when buying watch, thinking that
a cheap one will do as we'll AS a good
watch, and that all the difference in
watches is in the price. May be it
requires a moral effort On your part
to pay us $1,000 for plain looking
but honest tiine-keeper, when some
body else generously offers you
gold watch for $3.50 and-just for
goodness sake-throws i'll gold chain
and charm. Of course it is all q
tame schwindel,n as the Jew said
when he went up in a balloon and
couldn't find the silver lining Of the

then that person sends off for such
gold watch, gets it, and then loses
faith in watches and humanity for
ever and ever and ever. We think it
would pay you to call on us and see
if we have what you want, and if we
can't suit you, at all, out of large

enough then to send out of town for
