THE METZ CHARTER.

Though the Committee of Ten didn't
have a great deal of time to work in
it worked hard in what time it had,
And there is no doubt that it greatly
improved the new charter plan. That
plan, with a few minor changes, was
adopted by the Court of Common Coun-
Gil last evening, and it now goes be-
fore the legislature for final action, it
having been voted by the Court of
Common Council not to submit it to the
people. We think this was q mistake
but as it was originally proposed not to
give even the Court of Common Coun-
Gil say in the matter, perhaps we
cannot expect complete home rule and
should be satisfied with the concession
made to the Court of Common Council
1t now appears that the new charter
will sail through the legislature with
the greatest of ease and that we shall
soon have the benefit of what reform
there is in it,

4 CONSPICUOUS DEPICT

The Dingley bill has its conspicuous
merits, but it also has some defects
which are sadly and painfully conspic-
uous None of these defects is more
sadly and painfully conspicuous than
the plan to levy tax on the products
of art and literature It has already
raised storm of protest, and that
storm bids fair to grow in extent and
strength. The New York Tribune puts
the matter about right when it says:
For long period of time the best in
f1uences in our civilization have been at
work to put the means of better and
better education into the hands of the
people. Mr.. Dingley asks that we write
ourselves down as a nation caring more
for money than for intellectual and
moral progress.
Recent events have shown that this
country hasn't reached the point where
it can afford to put any obstacle in the
way Of the education and cultivation Of
the people When Populism and prize
fighting are less conspicuous and less
popular in this country will be time
enough to begin to talk about taxing
books and pictures.

THE LUCK OF A TENTERFOOT.
| Discovered a Gold mine While Trying
to Get Away from a Bear.
John B. Sargent of San Francisco,
who has been in the Kootenay mining
districts for the past two months, tells
remarkable story of the way tender
foot from Montreal discovered gold
mine in that far away mining region.
The young man, who was a clerk. was
spending a few weeks with a friend
engaged in mining and put in his time
fishing and hunting. The location of
his friends cabin was far up towards
the headwater of one of the tributaries
of Kootenay River, far from any other
prospector and in a section where the
bears We're not only numerous, but
inuuisitive and troublesome.
When both men were away from the
cabin it was necessary to carefully
close up all the openings, and the bears
had an unpleasant habit of climbing
into the cabin, and, besides getting
away with all the provisions in sight,
| playing football with the cooking uten-
sis. The bear were of the common
brown variety. none of them very large.
and were not considered dangerous-in
| fact, their worst trait of character
was the familiarity which bred anger,
rather than CONTEMPT. One day as the
two friends returned from a hunting
excursion they saw three bears investi-
eating the surroundings of the cabin,
! occasionally stopping to roll about a
camp kettle which had been thought
| lessly left outside.
! Both men were armed with rifles,
and as they succeeded in getting near
| the animals without being perceived.
were able to take deliberate aim. As
they delivered their fire two of the bears
fell. the third seampering off up the
mountain. As they supposed both
animals dead, they neglected to reload,

and had approached to within a few
feet of the PROSTATE bears when the
largest suddenly sprang to his feet and
with a fierce roar made directly for
them.
The young man from the city mad
never cultivated a close acquaintance
with the bear family and did the first
thing that occurred to him-dropped
his weapon and sprinted for the nearest
tree, about 100 yards away, and grow
ing on the edge of a gulch twelve or
fifteen feet deep, The bear stopped
few seconds to sniff at the rifle and then
contemptuously tossing it aside, con-
tinued the chase. The hunter reached
the tree and had climbed TO the lower
limbs when his pursuer reached 1t and
without any hesitation commenced the
ascent, This was something that the
amateur huntsman had not calculated
upon, and he at once proceeded to climb
higher in the hope that his antagonist
might get tired and give up. The tree
leaned somewhat over the ravine, MAX
ing the climbing easy, but the fact
favored the bear as well, and when
near the upper branches the young fell
low found to his dismay that the bear
was entirely too close for comfort. At
that moment, however, his friend who
had recovered from his fright and re-
loaded, shot the animal through the
head
Now another danger manifested itself
The combined weight of the man and
the bear had been too much for the
slender hold of the roots of the rees up
on the soil, and as it leaned further and
over the gulch it became evident that
unless he could scramble down the man
would be thrown upon the rocks at the
bottom. Clinging to one limb after an
other, he made desperate efforts to get
down, but before he had accomplished
more than half there distance the last
root gave way, and there seemed to be
nothing between him and death or seri
Gus injury. His grip closed upon the
limb to which he was clinging, and in
another moment the top of the tree res
the thoroughly frightened man dropped
upon the carcass of the dead bear him
self almost dead with fright.
But the strangest feature of the adj
venture was that in falling over, the
tree had removed the earth from four
foot vein of rich quartz the existence of
which had been entirely unsupported.
Now the young man from Montreal is

Farmer William Davis of Maine is
"a leetle obstinate" He has spent
three and one-half years in Jail in Ban
gor, rather than pay a fine inflicted
upon him by a court. Davis is So
years old and his original offence was
to whip one of a crowd of boys who
were in the habit of annoying him for
sport. For this he was fined, but he
claimed that he had no means to pay
with, 1t was proved that he had money
in several banks, and as he still refused
to pay he was committed for contempt.
He then vowed that he would remain
in Jail as long as he lived, and day
after day he sat in his cell with look
of logged determination on his face,
refusing all the efforts of various law
yers to get him out, as much for the
sake of experimenting as for anything
else. Now, however, one of these ex-
perimenting lawyers has found a flaw
in the execution upon which Davis was
committed, and he is likely to be turn
ed out in spite of himself.

THE ETIaUETrE OF SPORT.

Among the mysteries which | have no
hope of mastering in the breif spell of

the niceties of sportmanship. During

other day the fox, from force of circum-
stances-like the beaver In Mark
Twain's story-climbed up tree. All
efforts to dislodge him having proved
futile, one of the field climbed the tree

whether this was sportmanlike. One
who claims to be a sportsman writes to
me to protest against it. rather hope
he is right. 1t seems to me contrary to

II is expected that the attack on the
Law and Order league at the hearings
before the Judiciary committee the
first of which takes place this after
noon, will be lively and determined
one. and it is certain that if it is the
defense will also be lively and deter
mined. The league has been savagely
assailed by both those who dislike it
ION principle" and those who dislike it
not on principle. 1t has also been
strongly though. quietly supported by
those who either like it on principle or
who look upon it as a kind of neces-
sary evil, or good. Whatever has been
or may be said against the league 1t
can make one impressive reply That
is, it has been efficient It has done
many things that needed doing and it
has done them thoroughly. 1t has big
record of achievement and can very
properly and forcibly set this record
against much of the criticism directed
against it. 1t was not to be expected
that the league would please and sat
isfy lawbreakers. nor was it to be ex
pected that it would please and satisfy
those who do not think that anything
outside the regular legal machinery is
needed Perhaps If the league lives
through the present attack on it, as
it now seems likely to, it. will seem
more regular than it has seemed to
some. If it does this without losing
its efficiency it will make great gain.

"REMINISCENCES BY SIR WILLIAM
HARCOURT

.
Sir William Harcourt was indulging
in "reminiscences at the house of mu-
tual friend day OF two ago, and told
me things historical from my point of
view, but rarely alluded to by profess
ional historians. For instance, our
present custom of smoking after dinner
he referred, If I am not mistaken. to the
fact that at the table of Mr.. Gladstone
the Prince of Wales pulled out a cigar
and proceeded to enjoy its smoke. That
happened in Downing STREET, and must
have been therefore about 1870. At that
time I did not frequent parties, but
should be curious to know when we
first passed cigars after dinner in New
York. Sir William Harcourt recalled
also that up to the close of Crimean
war no gentleman would have been
guilty of smoking on a public
thoroughfare. 1T was regarded as
essentially underbred to do so, but the
warriors who returned from the fields
of Inkermann and Sevastopol had be-
come so addicted to the false friend
ship Of tobacco that they presumed
upon their services to the extent of
smoking wherever they pleased. Boards,
too, became popular for somewhat cog
nate reasons. One of the oldest living
members of Parliament told me that
before the Crimean war there was but
one member of the House of Commons
who had the courage to wear beard,
but that the Crimean veterans had
found boards so very comforting during
cult task, that boards were voted

ing commissions and other expenses he
received only between $500 and $1,000
in actual cash. His monthly payments,
including interest and a monthly as
sessment of SIT which was called a
premium amounted to over $S7. He
made five such payments, after which
he sold the property covered by the
mortgage which the purchaser was to
assume. No monthly payments were
afterward made to the association, and
the property was subsequently sold Il
second time. The association finally
instituted foreclosure proceedings for
over $500, contending that the back
payments due, fines etc, had increased
the original loan to that amount, The
borrowers attorney defended the suit
on the ground that an outside corpora
ton of this character, even if allowed
to do business in Michigan at all. could
not charge more than the legal rate of
interest on the original loan, He main
tanned that the association was at
tempting to charge for benefits never
received, and that such a proceeding
could only be classed as usury. The
judge intimated that he would rule that
the association could only collect per
cent. interest, and that the amount of
the five monthly payments made should
be deducted from the original loan.
The association agreed to accept such
decree, and it was accordingly en-
tered.
