It was a busy day at Moore's wharf yesterday. Two steamers were In from the South with heavy cargoes of freight, largely railroad construction material, and an army of longshoremen were busy rush. ing their eonsIgnments ashore.

 The Capilano belongs to the Union Steamship Company, the same people that operate the Clutch, and the cargo for the next trip. 1t Is expected, will be something like that brought the last time by the Clutch which was largely hydraulic and other machinery for Atlin.
 The Capllano Is a steel vessel. but of low freeboard, and In crossing Queen Charlotte sound she encountered rough weather and shipped several nasty seas. Knowing that It was rough for the craft with such a cargo, the skipper kept the ship in a harbor of refuge berore essaving to cross the sound. Although the salt brine swept from rail to rall of the labor ing craft when she faced the open sea, she got across without damage.

RetOrt Courteous.


From the Detroit Free Press.
Young American retaliated very
successfully on the faceti,us man on
board a ferryboat the other day.
The boy has hair of a fiery hue,
which is often the subject of ancient
and decrepit jokes. He and his
companions occupied a corner Of the
boat where they prepared to shorten
their lives by indulgence in the
habit.
"Please gimme a light, mister, -
said the red haired boy who, by the
wav, is quite corpulent.
You don't need any light" was
the reply, with significant glance
at the boys top-dressing.
With a scornful toss of the head,
the boy with the scenic hair prompt
ly retorted:
eyes, an dis boat don't need no
bellows nor hot air longs you'el

The facetious man sought sea,

Convent Of this town. During

cupied this position and displayed
a high order Of ability in the man
agement of this very deserving in
stitution. The school will open on
the sd of September. The con-
vent needs no recommendation to
secure for i, a just share of patron
age. A half century of faithful
work in this community has long
since earned for it a most envlabIe
reputation. The Gazette joins the
people of Lafayette in extending a
hearty welcome to Mother Patrick

Negro Riots.

The sanctimonlous hypocrites up
North VIII" have been uPbraiding the
people Of the South whenever VEN
geance was wreaked upon some ne
gro fiend, will now have to attend
to similar matters a little closer
home. Human nature is the same
in New York and Ohio as in Louis
lana. Some crimes call tor swift
vengeance, and there is no limit to
what an Infatuated mob will do.
The acts of the New York City
and Akron, Ohio, mobs prove con
cIusively that the Northern people
are metimes more bitter in their
animosity against the negro than US.
They will now be in a position to
better understand conditions in the
South and will probably put a stop
to their hypocritical lamentations.

Society of Lafayette, Aug. 40.
1900, the folio wing resolutions were
passed on the death of Miss Matte
Glenn Torian:
Whereas, in the wisdom and
providence of God, He has seen
fit to remove from our midst this
much loved member of our society,
Therefore, be it resolved, That,
while we bow in submission to the
will of our Heavenly Father and
realize that "He doeth all things
we'll, we deeply grieve for the loss
of one SO young and whose sweet
and gentle nature SO endeared her
to family and friends.
Resolved, That although our
hearts are sad and desolate, we
shall endeavor to follow her bright
example of loving service and look
forward with hope, to the time
when we, too, shall be counted
worthy to join the heavenly throng
and meet again our loved and
lost.
Resolved, That we render thanks
to our God for the influence of her
short life: for her loving presence
in the home and social circles, her
glaG and active interest in the
church and Sunday school; and
specially for the strong faith aud
glorious witness of salvation mani
tested in the closing hours of her
life.
Resolved, That our prayers and
sympathies be extended to the be-
reaved home circle; that father and
mother, uncle, brothers and sisters
may be enabled by faith, to look
through their tears and see her, as
she is, in her glorious home with
Jesus.

In thoughts, not breaths:
In feelings, not in figures on the dial.

noblest, acts the best.''
Resolved, That a copy of these res
olutions be spread on the 'srecord-
book" of our organization and a
copy sent to the family.

1t seems to US the Democrats of

Lily Whites gained recognition at
Philadelphia on the boast that they
could carry this and two other Con-

There is about as much probability
for this to happen as there is that
Vermont will go Democratic,
nevertheless our local Democrats
should exert themselves in order
that Lafayette give the matchless
Democratic champion a large COM
