terminus of the Great Northern. 1t is
connected with Vancouver by an electric
tram railway giving an hourly service.
The facilities of the city for trade are,
therefore, unsurpassed by those of any
other city in the province, as 1t is easily
reached by railway, steamer or wagon
road from all parts of the district and is IN

of the world.
The city possesses a considerable num-

S75, 600; the Douglas Elliott block, 66x132,
four stories. $4,000: the Guichon Hotel
block, 66x132, three stories, $65 900. These

stone There are a considerable mum Der
of other brick blocks of large proportions,
among which are the Colonial Hotel,
Queens Hotel, Begbie block, Duncan Nc
Call block, Curtis-Burns block, Masonic

also situated the provincial penitentiary,

and the county courthouse. These are all
large brick buildings. The asylum cost
over $500 and the penitentiary $40, 000.
There is a free public library building
erected and owned by the corporation,
costing $4,000. There are two excellent
hospitals. two colleges, and first-class pub

do congregate.
Wheel-women wear them entirely en-
suite-whlte hat, white gown, white stock
ings and white shoes-and the effect on a
warm and sunny morning is decidedly
pretty. Yesterday morning l saw Lady
Sophie Cadogan, the daughter of the Vice
roy of Ireland, wheeling with her fancee,
Sir Samuel Scott, in the direction of the
Serpentine. Lady Sophie, who is tall,
slim ard graceful, was wearing perfectly
cut frock of pure white silky apaca, the
coat bodice buttoning with large ivory
disks over a white silk shirt, with stiff
collar and a pale blue tie. The hat, of
white Panama straw, was trimmed with
rosettes of tulle and a cluster of corn flow
ers, and the capitally hung skirt fell over
neat-ribbed white silk stockings and white
doeskin shoes.
White gloves and the sparkling nickel
of a remarkably smart wheel made the
whole effect charming. Miss Muriel Will
son is another lovely girl who goes in for
absolute accord in her bicycling costume
and she frequently affects Mephistophe-
lean scarlet from her small toque to the
tip of her morocco shoes. Miss Wilson is
a very splendid brunette and can stand
the rather startling attire admirably.
Very charming also is a dove-gray bicy-

SALEM, Or, June 28.-Yamhill and
Lane counties lay claim to the distinction
OF first giving birth in the Northwest to
the new political movement known as the
Union Bimetallic party, which, without
State organization, elected three represen-
tatives to the Legislature and carried Yam
hill County in the recent election. The
Union Bimetallists have issued call for
State convention at McMinnville on July
8, and will follow up the victory already
achieved by State organization. The con-
vention will seat 500 delegates, and it is
creating no little stir among the wiseacres
of other faiths, Notwithstanding the ex-
istence of this party has been resolutely
ignored.
In almost every county in the State lead
ers of the new party are causing meetings
to be held at which delegates to the con-
vention are being elected. Chairman
John C. Young of the Peoples party State
Central Committee will be delegate. Gov.
Lord has been requested to preside at
the opening, but he has pleaded other en-
gagements.
The leading spirit of the movement is
Colonel ]. c. Cooper of McMinnville, who
framed the platform and who is chairman
of the convention. The convention will
be composed of men who favor platform
of gold and silver as standard money, are
opposed to single gold standard and ia
vor the free and unlimited coinage of
both. The platform of the bimetallists, to
which silver Democrats and silver Repub.
licans, Popuists and middle-of-the-road
Independents are subscribing, declares for
tariff for revenue sufficient to meet ma
tional expenses, with protection to Ameri-
can labor and its products, the use of both
gold and silver as standard money and not
a gold standard alone, discriminating
tariff against gold countries, no more
bonds, postal savings banks, the election
of United States Senators by direct vote of
the people, restriction of all un-American
immigration, the cutting down of all legis-
lative appropriations and extra salaries
and the reduction OF State, county and
munic ipal expenses.

HYPNoTISM USED IN COURT.

Verdict of a Jury Rendered Under Pc
culiar Circumstances.
"Hypnotism," remarked the professor
to a Star reporter, sis most peculiar
power. A dozen years ago. when hypno-
tism had not been TriIbyed into its pres
ent fame, was one of twelve iurymen in
a murder trial. 1t was an intelligent jury,
too"
"Of course" laughed the reporter,
OTHERWISE you would not have been
there
That's all right" smiled the professor,
'but our intelligence was of no great
value to US. The case was one of murder,
in which the murderer gained fortune
by getting an heir out of the way and
taking his place. The trial did not take
place until two years after the death of the
victim, and the evidence was very nearly
circumstantial, but it was a remarkably
clear case of circumstances. Well, there
wasn't anything peculiar or interesting
that wouldn't have happened at any muir
der trial, but the prisoner was eXtraor-
binary, at least, as TO his eyes, which were
of the piercing kind one reads of in stories
to chill the blood.
He did not use them. however, to any
extent until all the evidence was in and
the attorneys began their talk. Then he
turned them upon the jury and fastened
them there, as if pleading with Us to save
him. All the arguments were in by 6
o'clock the first day and the Judge began
to charge the jury. All the soul of the
prisoner seemed, then, to be in his eyes,
and 1 could not get my mind on anything
but the prisoner. What the Judge was

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. c., June
25.-The third largest city in British
Columbia in point of population is New
Westminster, known as the Royal City"
because it was christened by the Queen of
Great Britain. This city is situated on
the north bank of the Fraser River, six
teen miles from the Straits OF Georgia, and
being on the river bank which rises gradu-
ally to height of 400 feet, 1t presents
splendid view from the river. There is
probably no other city on the coast that
can be seen to such advantage either by
day or by night. Its really fine business
blocks down near the water front, the
beautiful public buildings and the elegant
private residences among the bright
foliage of numerous ornamental trees and
shrubbery all over the hillside, present a
picture that Will long be remembered by
all who have the good fortune to see it.
The citizens claim that it is the best
lighted city on the coast (San Francisco
not excepted), and when the electric lights
are lighted on dark night the spectacle
presented to one on the river in front or
on the south shore is simply magnificent.
The site was selected by Colonel Moody
of the Royal Engineers in 1858. The hill
on which the city now stands was then
covered by a magnificent forest of Douglas
fir and cedar. Trees measuring 80 feet i'll
circumference and from $50 to 200 feet in
height were then not uncommon-but no
such trees are now TO be found in the
vicinity. At one time, and for several
years, New Westminster was the capital of
British Columbia. Its growth at first was
quite rapid, but when the capital had been
removed to Victoria period of compare
tive inactivity ensued which continued up
to the time of the opening of the Canadian
Pacific Railway. This event marks an i'm
portant epoch, not only in the history of
New Westminster but that of the whole of
British Columbia. 1t produced a veritable
boom the effects of which were felt
throughout the whole province.
The Fraser River is navigable up as Tar
as New Westminster for vessels drawing
about twenty-one feet of water. Above
the city it is navigable for small steamers
of light draft about 100 miles. 1t is thus
the natural point of transhipment for all
freight and passengers to and from the
Fraser Valley. Steamers run three times
a week between this city and Victoria,
Vancouver and Nanaimo. There is a daily
steamer between New Westminster and
the mouth of the river, and a daily
steam service up as far as Chilliwhack. 1t
$ the fresh-water terminus of the Cana

Iamps) more than covers the cost of main
tenance, including in terest and sinking
fund on the capital. The corporation has
also constructed first-class water works
system. Water is brought from Coquitlam
Lake, distance of over twelve miles, by a
steel main, to a reservoir on the top of the
hill, whence it goes into the distribution
pipes The lake is fed by mountain
streams of purest water. 1t is about 435
feet above sea level, and the reservoir is
400 feet. This gives ample pressure for
fire protection and all other purposes.
These works cost $450,000. In Quinn's
Park the corporation has erected a fine ex-
hibition bui ding where an exhibition is
held every year.
New Westminster possesses three saw
mills, foundry, several sash and door
factories, ice factory and cold storage, and
other industries. 1t has the best farmers
market in British Columbia, and is the
principal shipping point for fruit 1t is
within easy reach of the great fish canning
establishments of Fraser River, the most
remote being only about twelve miles dis
tant. With such a situation, and having
such unequaled facilities for shipment by
for manufactures.
The city, generally, is healthy and clean,
and the climate is unsurpassed anywhere
in Canada. 1t is, therefore, desirable
place for residence. 1t possesses all, or
nearly all, the appliances and advantages
of well-equipped modern city, such as
electric light, pure water electric street
cars. telephone connection with all the
surrounding country as far as Portland,
Or, telegraph connection everywhere,
daily mails, daily newspaper, railway and
steamship connection to every civilized
country on the earth. That the destiny of
the city is great no one acquainted with
its position, resources and trade facilities
can doubt, and capital and enterprise will
some day make it one of the chief cities of
the Pacific Coast
