Prof John K. Paine does not believe
in representative American school"
of music. In an article pu blished in
Music for April, he says: "We have
now not national, but intellectual mu-
sic, and it makes no difference whether

does he believe than an American in
writing grand opera should necessarily
choose subjects from American history.

Charlie Mitchell never made better
time IN ring than man did in the
Grand Trunk yard yesterday. He was
smoking in portion of the yard where
that is not allowed, and was ordered by
special officer Thomas S. S. Lee, to put
up his pipe and promptly refused. Mr..
Lee tried to catch him, but the fellow
proved to be good runner, and got away
but for awhile the way they lodged
about among the cars was interesting to
the spectators.
Yesterday a man dressed in the oldest
clothes he possessed, and carrying in
one hand a pail, and in the other a
broom, walked down Custom House
wharf rapidly. He evidently thought
he might be late for the boat, and SC
quickened his pace to a.run, and made re-
markably good time for a heavy man.
He got down ON the end of the wharf,
but no boat was there Chow long was
the boat been gomez" he asked.
They haven't resumed their Sunday
trips yet," said one of the men in the
employ of the line.
"They haven't?'' he said with evident
surprise. And Tve been making holy
show of myself have / coming down
through the streets with this broom and
pail? thought I'd go down and do a
little cleaning up about my place."
And then be took his hat off, wiped his
brow, and started off up the wharf won

Day Nursery.

In this busy house cleaning time there
is great demand for women who 60 out
to work by the day. This is the only
GLASS of people who welcome these days of
distressing confusion, for it is then that
the money is earned which is to bridge
over many dark places.
A large number of these women have
small children with no one to care for
them while they are at work, unless, in
deed. the older ones are compelled to re-
main from school for that purpose and
even then, i'll many cases, sad accidents
have resulted from the lack of proper
oversight, for sometimes these caretakers
are hardly older than tho little ones
themselves. It is for this class of women
that the W. G. T. U. Day Nursery was
organized. It is located at So Oak street
has large sunny rooms matron whose
heart is large enough to mother all the
children who may be sent her They
may be brought in the morning as early
as desirable and remain throughout the
day if SO desired.
For this care the mothers pay ten
cents a day for one child or Is cents for
two children. She may have no anx-
lefty about their welfare. They are safe
and happy. The committee on the Day
| Nursery fear that the knowledge of its
purpose is not SO widely spread as it
ought to be, and they take this means of
asking all ladies who may have occasion
| to employ mothers of small children, or
who in any way know Of such, to kind
| ly speak to them of the nursery and it's
advantages and to urge its use., for it
| will be remembered that the women do
not always have access to the daily pa
pers and do not learn of the provisions
made tor their comfort except through
such kindness of friends.

A TERRIBLE DISASTER.
A Crowded street Car Plunges Into Vic
toria Harbor

A Crowded Street Car Plunges Into Vic
toria Harbor
One of the most distressing accidents
ever recorded on the Pacific coast oc-
Cured at Victoria, B. c., Tuesday. A
sham fight and review was to take
place at Maeaulay point, near Esqui-
malt, and crowds were making their
way there By every route. All the
tram cars were packed. Shortly before
3 o'clock two cars left Government
street with no more than 100 people.
The first got over Point Ellice bridge,
which crosses Victoria Arm, safely,
but when the other was about half way
over the middle span of the bridge,
about 150 feet in length, gave way and
the car plunged into the water, some
100 feet below. The car was completely
submerged, and all on board were
drowned, with the exception of some
OF those who were standing on the
platforms and who, escaping injury
from the falling timbers, managed to
save themselves by using the floating
ruins of the bridge, and thus got
ashore.
When the bridge broke there were
several carriages on the bridge, and
these also were precipi1ated into the
water. Superintendent Wilson was
driving one of these. and had lis FIVE
children with him. He succeeded
in saving himself and four children.
The fifth. a little boy, was wedged be-

Be Careful How You Vote.

At the election held in 1894 the
names of all candidates not desired to
be voted for were crossed out with
pencil by the voter when preparing
the official ballot before giving 1t to
the judge of election. The legislature
of 1895 changed the method of voting,
and made it necessary to place an x
on the official ballot between the num-
ber and the name of the candidate
whom the voter desires to cast his bal
lot for, Any other Disagreement OF
the ballot will cause it to be rejected
when the count is made. That the
voters may more thoroughly under
stand the new method we submit the
following copy ola portion of the Off
cial ballot. If you desire to vote foe
Bennett for congressman and Blakely
for county judge, mark your ballot
