A BENEVOLENT ENTERPRISE
Is the British Medical Institute at No.
1909 Second Avenue. 1t Gives Three
Months Services Free to All In
valids Who Call Before
May 80.

vaIIds Who Call Before
May so.
A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical in
stitute have, at the urgent solicitation
of large number of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
lished a permanent branch of the in
stitute in this city at No. 1902 Second
avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine eX-
cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
aud May 80. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice. but also Of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
flicted, and, under no condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before May so.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee a
cure in every case they undertake. At
the first interview a thorough exami-
nation is made, and, if incurable, you
are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment.
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, varicocele, and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.

THE SECOND REWARD.

As told in another column, the Clavson and Relic families have combined to offer a reward of $500 each for the finding of the bodies of Relic and Clayson, and this sum of $500 for one or $Iooo for the two is sufficiently large to induce many men going in or coming out to spend some time in the hope of being able to claim at least one of them. When the men disappeared last Christmas there was very little prob ability of any traces being found of them after the new year. as the continually fall ing snow and the rapid freezing naturally obliterated them. Now, however, the snow is gone, the ice will soon begin to move, and, apart from the reward .here will not le single man passing near the spot where their bodies are supposed to have been thrown into the river through a hole in the ice, whJ will not instinctively and from natur curiosity be on the look out for traces of the bodies. Renewing the reward at so early date promises a full solution Of the mystery.

HEAVY STOCK ON HAND
V. Y. T. Has Logs Enough for all
 the Season.

Bennett, May I.-Activitv is the feature about the ship yards and the mill of the Victoria Yukon Trading Company, at this point.
 Since Fred G. White, the manager, took charge in March splendid progress has been made in preparing for the annual rush for scoWs, boats and building material at the opening of navigation. He had ten teams hauling logs from the limits just back of the mill, while the snow lasted, and has enough of what he says is the finest timber eyer sawn on the lakes laid in to keep hls mill running the whole sea son.
 Sufficient pIanking and frame timber is now piled in the company's ship yard to construct fifty scows.
 Owing to the popularity and consequent demand for the ( mpany's V. Y. T. brand of scow, thev have been compelled to begin construction this year to fill orders in hand. at an earlier date than usual, and have already number ready to launch. As they stand on the ways, one is struck with the solid and workmanlike manner in which these vessels are built, as well as with their grace and beauty. if such terms are applicable to sc0v'.
 MT. White intends to keep sufficient men at work to enable him to fill special orders the day after they are received, and at the same time build number of each size for stock. The idea is to have good | assortment, already rigsed, on hand. dur. ing the season, so that parties bringing in freight will be able to load the same day as thev arrive.
 The companv's works are but an easy two minutes walk, on fine sawdust road, from the town of Bennett and are well worth visit.

ARMY POST SITE.

The efforts of the committee of the chamber of commerce, and other citizens who take an interest in the future of the city, to have the proposed army post as near the center of the town as possible are practically at an end. The obtaining of the block between Fourteenth and Fit- teenth avenue for this purpose presents no difficulties, but some of the owners of the adjoining block north think that by hold ing out they may make fortune. They are asking the price of placer claim with an Eldorado DIV streak running dollar a pan. They evidently believe that there are enough of liberal minded citizens to subscribe the amount asked rather than see the post located away over the river.
 Capt. Hovey has very little time left for a report, and it seems now that he will have to report the land at the stockyards siding as the only available site, and all because of the dog g'in-the-manger policy of few lot owners, whose property stood at a low figure, with no offers, before the probability of having an army post here was talked of.
 It will be disappointing after all these efforts to have the post placed in such a remote position, and more disappointing still to have no post after all. For Gen. Randall, when here, acoeeded to desire to have post nearer the water front, and 1t is just possible that he may not approve of the stockyards site, and may take the troops to some other point. However, there does not appear to be anything fur. ther to be done, as the best possible has already been done, and no one can estimate what serious loss it is to the city. In- stead of one-company post we should have had two company post, and there are other possibilities behind this which it is not deemed advisable to state now, as after today it may be too late to profitablv pursue the subject.

SOLDIERS AT FOOTBALL
Will Shortly Have a New Ball and
 Larger Ground.

The evening games of football by the soldiers in front of the barracks at the foot of Sixth avenue are attracting large crowds. and if two set teams were picked and regularly played there would undoubtedly be some betting, for there is much applause and laughter and yelling by old and young among the spectators as if it was college game.
 Capt. Hovev has sent for Rugby ball and is filling the ugly ditch at the foot of the street, and grading it thoroughly from Broadway right on to the Moore lot. Then the men will have plenty of room, and there will not be so much danger to windows or the noses of onlookers as in the present cramped quarters.

The fashionable figure seems to be as
silhouette as ever, and waist lines are
disregarded in the effort to get a gen
ming to be an expensive necessity, and
women who have hitherto contented
themselves with a ready made article
Of moderate price are now rushing to
the high-priced places, for only there
can they get a corset fit to wear under
the new gowns. There is some JUS
tice in the big prices that are charged,
for the best whalebone has to be used,
and the most careful fitting and work
manship are required. The latest cor
sets now have two garter straps, one
in front and one on the side, more to
keep the corset well down in place than
to hold the stocking up. The chemise
is, of course, tabooed. and well fitting
corset cover protects the corset. A
dainty little garment for this purpose
is made of strips of colored silk and
white lace entredeux, says the New
York Tribune. An elaborate petticoat
is also an impossibility. 1t is doubtful
If many petticoats, beyond a short,
thin underskirt, are worn now, but
with the autumn, thicker underskirts
will be a necessity. At a place on the
rue de la Paix, they are making these
OF satin, as close as possible to the
figure, and trimmed with one shaped
ruf1le. narrow in front and quite deep
in the back. over these the skirts hang
beautifully, and, as it is not the fashion
to lift the dress now, the plainness of a
petticoat makes no difference. At this
shop they also show 'knickers" OF
satin made dainty with silk ruffies.

The study Of colors and their effects
in combination is a very curious one.
which many women would do well to
give some heed to, especially when the
house is being thoroughly renovated.
There are some colors that are cheer
full, refreshing, that give an expansive
effect. Others are depressing and give
a cramped-up appearance to a room.
If room be large and it is desired to
make it appear smaller and more cozy
it can be done by having the ceiling
and walls decorated in dark shade
and the draperies in harmony. II
blue be the predominating tone Of q
room it will have the effect Of making
the room look larger than it is and ii
can be introduced in some degree in a
small room for that purpose It~must
be used judiciousiy. however, for if ii
be in excess or of a wrong shade it
will give a room cold, cherries ap-
pearance. Red makes no difference in
regard to size, but it always gives the
idea of warmth and comfort. 1t will
always accentuate any tint of green
that turks in the other colors en-
ployed Red in some tene or another
might be used to advantage in a room
that was not lighted from without, OIL
in one that had north light. On ths
other hand green should never be
used under such conditions, but only
where a room is powerfully lighted or
a flood of sunshine penetrates. This
serves to light up the yellow tint that
would be otherwise inappreciable and
gives a cheerful color tone. Much can
be done to promote health and a hap
py, cheerful disposition by a proper
regard to the tone in which the rooms
of house are furnished.
