Extortionate Cabrnen.

From Leslie's Weekly
The recent spirited and effective cam
paign which the New York Tribune has
been waging against the present cab sys-
tenn in this city has an interest extending
far beyond the bounds of the metropolis,
since the evils aimed at prevail to greater
or less extent in all American cities. In
other years the Niagara hackman stood as
a type of all that is most odious and rep
rehensible in this direction, but the unenvi-
able distinction enjoyed by the vociferous
sharpers at that famous resort has extended
to the same calling almost everywhere. The
occupation of the cabbies Is. in fact, re-
garded with a degree of settled suspicion
and distrust by the vast majority Of people,
owing to the prevalent impression that
these Jehus of the pave as rule are given
to petty extortion and much shabby trick
cry, and sometimes to practices worse than
these when conditions are favorable. Many
persons habitually refrain from patronZing
cabs who would often do so were it not for
the prejudice thus created and the dread
they have either of being imposed upon or
Of stirring up storm of profanity and pos
sible violence by any protests they may
make. There is probably as large a pro-
portion of honest and worthy men engaged
in this useful business in most others,
but the good and the bad suffer together
for the reasons We have stated.

Electric Force From the Sun.

From the Boston Transcript.
in the Revue Generate des Sciences M.
Nordmanu proposes theory OF the propa-
CATION of electric force from the sun into
space which is based on the assumption
that Hertzian waves are emitted from the
surface of our luminary. and that the EMS
sion of these electric waves must be par
tIcularly intense at epochs of maximum
solar activity. NJ. Nordmann admits that
hitherto attempts to discover Hertzian
waves in the solar radiation have led to
negative result: but In his opinion. this
may be explained by the copious absorption
of the electric fluctuations In the CHER
layers OF our atmosphere. On this hypo-
thetical basis the theory attempts an ex-
PLANTATION of cometAry phenomena. Of ter
restrial magnetism, and OF the luminosity
of matter in the nebulae and in the vic nifty
of Il mporary stars. NJ. Nordmann's paper
thus cove rs the same ground as the previous
researches Of Prof. Arrhenius. But the dis
tinguished Swedish physicist advocates the
theory of corpuscular Electric emission. and
M. Nordmann endeavors to show that some
grave object ons may be urged against this
point Of view, and that. on the whole, the
cosmical phenomena here considered are
better explained by the undulatory electric
theory Of Maxwell and Hertz

POPE PLAYED CARDS. /,
He Was Then Cardinal Pecci and Game
Was in Monastery.

Rome Letter in Pail Mall Gazctte
The following curious story is told here.
Years ago when Leo XIII was Cardinal
Pecci the sixth or seventh century of the
foundation Of the well-known monastery
of the Vernia. high up In the Apennines,
was celebrated with much Solemnity by
great concourSe of priests. monks and pill
grims, among them Cardinals Peccf and
Parocchi. At first all went well, and there
was great jocundity of chastened Sort
until suddenly the weather changed, and
the monastery from a happy retreat be-
came prison. Up there among the noun
tains cut off from the rest of the world.
persisted with cold. while the heavens
seemed determined TO wash them away,
ennui increased as to be almost insupport-
able The most nervous and unquiet was
the window and the invariable tattoos on
the glass came to be worse than everything
else put together.
At last when patience was exhausted and
the weather showed no signs of clearing,
some one-Said to be the eminent Cardinal
Pecci himself-proposed a game of cards.
but the good monks had none. at least they
would confess to none. After some bother
a pack was procured. and the two cardinals
and some of those present sat down TO
game. which lasted well into the night. and
resulted, much to his satisfaction, in a vic
tory for the future pope. Cannot one see
the scene. the two cardinals one OF them
delicate-looking. thin and severe. the other
tall, stout and benevolent. their more or
less embarrassed companions in the game.
and the circle of humble and admlring
monks?
Cardinal Pecci Is now pope and Cardinal
Paroccni stands high in the sacred college.
Do they ever recall this singular scene?

Automobilists' Utopia.

According to some private Information

Even the Swiss peasants were moved to
throw flowers in the motor cars and with

is most diff1cult: in parts on the mountains
the way is over deep snow. which is now
beginning to melt, and In another place 1t
is reported that the mud is thirty. cent?
meters, or a foot, deep. Automobiiism is
wonderful for breaking down social bar

race-men of the greatest wealth plotting

Wagner and His Dog Pops.

Richard Wagner, the composer, was
devoted to dogs, and Pops had become
Wagners property during his stay at
Riga. He had belonged in the first
place, says Our Animal Friends, to an
English merchant, but became passion
ately attached to Wagner and followed
him everywhere, lying on his doorstep
at night. The original owner found it
useless to attempt to keep him.
On the way to rehearsal the dog was
in the habit of taking a daily bath in
the canal. Being a Russian dog it is
recorded of him that he kept up this
habit even in winter, provided he could
find a hole in the ice.
Pops was one of the great composers
most famous dogs. Wagner always in
sisted that Pops helped him to compose
"Tannhauser."
When at the piano singing, the dog,
whose constant place was at his feet,
would occasionally leap to the table,
peer into his face and howl piteously.
Then Wagner would address his elo-
quent critic with:
what, it does not suit your"
Then, shaking the animals paw, he
would say, paraphrasing Shakespeare:
well, l will do thy bidding gently"
Pops is frequently mentioned in his
correspondence. If Wagner remained
too long at his work Pops would re-
mind him it was time to walk.
II am done up, and must get into the
open air" he writes once. Pops won't
leave me in peace any longer"

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

A quantity of rich ore has been raw
hided down from the Wilson mine and
is now ready for shipment.
The Silver Glance mine at Bear Lake
has made a shipment of a car of high
grade ore and has another ready.
The stamp mill at the Second Relief
mine has had a somewhat short run.
1t has only been completed about a
month, and for some unexplained rea-
son the mine has been closed down.
The payroll of the Sullivan Mining
company for the employees on it's new
smelling plant at Marysville, B. c., for
January reached about $1,000. The men
are paid on the 10th day of the month,
and bills for supplies are paid on the
18th.
Superintendent ]. S. Austin of the
Marysville smelter was in Denver, Col.
last week, purchasing machinery for
the plant. Work on the plant is being
rushed, and the officials here say that
they will be ready to blow in" the
smelter by the first of June.

dend of one cent a share, as promised
in December, decided to close down the
mines on account of the prevailing
low price of lead. The properties will
remain closed at least until the annual
stockholders meeting April 8, when flu
ture plans will be discussed and decided
upon.
Contrary to expectation, it has been
made known that work will not be re-
sumed on the Tamarac mine at Ymir
until the spring. A fine body of ore is
being developed on the Commodore
mine, which lies within a few hundred
feet of the Ymir cyanide plant. The
No. tunnel on which o. Pointer has a
contract, has reached to 1876 feet and
the No. 1 to 100 feet. Fine galena ore
is exposed on both sides.
The big cyanide plant at the Ymir
mine is now in the last stages of con-
struction and will be in operation some
time during the next month. The out
put returns for January will probably
be considerably higher than those of
the past few months, as shipments of
the rich crude ore have been resumed.
This ore averages in the neighborhood
of 800 per ton, and is sent straight to
the smelter Very little of that class
of ore was taken out during the year
which has just closed.
