an Indian policeman, was executed in

He refused to eat anything. He

spectators in Chinook, saying no was
innocent and not afraid to die. The
drop fell, and death was instantaneous.
The Indian maintained his innocence
and the priest believes he was not
guilty.
The crime for which Louis Victor suf-
fered tho extreme penalty Of the law
was the murder of aH Indian policeman
named Peter, at Cheam, small town on
the Fraser river. 90 miles from here.
The murder was OF brutal nature, and

the diacneaion TO explain moro fully the
viawa OF the company. From the tenor
of this talk it seemed improbable that
any radical change from the plan il the
Reilly plan will bs made, although
minor amendments are under consider
alton. The o0mpany's proposal shat
the rats OF interest be reduced from
3 TO 2 per cent did not seem to
find much favor. The Reilly
bill provides that in the
event OF default of any payment for 80
deg1 the entire debts mature but an
amendment was added making it opera
tive ct the option of tha secretary OF the
treasury. Over an hour Was consumed
in debate on a project for the govern
mont to assume sac mortgages OF the
Union Pacific, which, with this applica-
ton Of the ainking fund to ita pay ment,
so lar as it Will go, leaves q debt of 500
100000 1t was argued from the COM
paDy'B standpoint thatthe company will
DO obliged TO pay 6 per cent on this,
while the government should carry it st
per cent or ~ per cens, and the cav
ing in inherent DC applied directly 10 the
government debt.

Photographers, especially amateur

that photographers, especially amateur

because Of its undeseived reputation

On Saturday 1t was discovered that
it was all due to some flaw in the pho

Black ana white.

Although men, the husbands. lovers,
brothers and friends, are usually quick
in admirfng the costumes of the woin
en- whose taste they influence, there
is scarcely 4 man who, when closely
questioned, does not say that he pre-
fers black for Women's wear. He
admits that each woman has color
of colors which decidedly becomes
her, yet is he generally safe in this
leaning towards black. The reason is
easily seen, and is consistent With
what man considers appropriate Tor;
all occasions which take the wearer
out Of doors. 1t is considered very bad
form abroad for lady to go to any
public place Of amusement in light
or snowy dress. A Frenchman will
insist on HIS fair companion exchang-
ing pretty dress for black one be-
fore taking her to join dinner party
at fashionable restaurant. A dark
and inconspicuous dress is q protec-
tion to women travelling alone in any
public place. From the artistic point
OF view nothing is SO flatterlng to the
figure as black, and SO successful in
showing Off the best points Of the
woman, the clear complexion, the
| bright eyes and the color of the hair.
tOf course. this does not mean that
men would always like to see women
dressed as II in mourning, for the
dainty light dresses have their times
f0f suitability. and the pretty, chic
mourning and house gowns are not to-
be slpplanted. On the subject Of
wearing white, men have alreahy two
opinions. 50 greatly does it's simplicity
Icommcnd 1t. painters and poets regard
ing It ms the ideal attire Of women.
The very simplicity of a dress com
mends II to the masculine mind for
men. not understanding the minutiae
OF the toilet, and hot npprcclating
the outlay o. time or money on u
gown. judge fur more by the effect
OF the whole thnn do women, who
are distracted at once by the clOi0s,
N details and possibilities of the gown.
