Herbert cuthbert Interests Large Au-
dience With Lecture.

Herbert Cuthbert, of Victoria. B. c..
entertained a large audience at Cen
tral Presbyterian church last evening
with lecture on 1.-The City of Victoria
and Vicinity" illustrated by stereop-
ticon views
The entertainment was given under
the auspices of the women of the
church.
The views exhibited embraced not
only number of scenes of the princi-
pal business streets, Wharves, manu-
factories, residences and parks of Vie
tor1a,. but also large collection of
most artistic pictures of the surround
ing country, seascapes and portions of
the coast Of the Pacific and Puget
sound.
These pictures were described in a
most interesting manner by Mr. Cuth-
bert
The lecturer also dealt with the ex-
traordinary development that is now
taking place in the splendid resources
of the vast territory between ST. Paul
and Victoria in a most exhaustive
manner, giving some valuable infor-
nation upon the vast possibilities of
the Great West" He took his audi
ence out Vest over the Canadian
Pacific railway and brought them
home again over the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railways, illus
trating the wheat fields of Manitoba.
the Dakotas and Eastern Washington
The whole entertainment was inter.
est1ng to those who had not realized
what an Immense country lies to the
west of this city, and illustrated its
marvellous scenic beauties, demonstrat.
ing that it is one of the most interest.
Ing tourist trips in the world.

reasoning, because of the amount of
the contract the price should have been
lower.
Some pointed questions, were put to
Commissioner Murphy by Assembly,
men Wheeler and Arnold, and while the
answers were satisfactory to the Dem
ocratic members, the Republican con-
tfngent expressed doubt, and refused to
award the contract. Those voting
against it were Assemblymen Rosen,
Wheeler, Arnold and Schumacher. A
second attempt had to be made before
a reconsideration of the vote was Sc
cured and then the matter was sent to
the committee on streets.
The price, $1.9S, for the asphalt ex-
clusively, is considered an extremely
low price and 1t is likely that the
property owners will protest against
being used as an object lesson in ad-
ministering a rebuke to the board of
public works.
By a resolution introduced some
months ago the assembly is now pledg-
ed to reject any asphalt paving award
exceeding 1920 yard. Then that fig
ure was considered reasonable.
Commissioner MurNhy informed the
members last night that the Conway
bid was rejected because the board
was positive it could save the property
owners money. And the bid will be
lower, too" he added.

REFUSE TO RATIFY
PAVING CONTRACT
Assembly Sends Award of
Central Avenue Jobto Com
mittee on Streets.


More by way of rebuke for the board
of public works than out of considera-
ton for the property owners, ting as
sembly, by a tie vote last night reject
ed the award of contract to the Barber
Asphalt Paving company for the paw
ing Of Central avenr%, Later it re-
Tented to the extent of reconsidering its
action and now the trouble will be
threshed out in the committee on
streets.
The blocking of the award was the
work of the Republican minority of
the body, they being spurred to action
by the report that the board of public
works had awarded the contract for
paving Central avenue on basis of
$2.06 square yard and then rejected
one for Exchange street in which the
price was $2.04 because the r. F. Con-
way cvompany was the successful bid
der.
Instead of s2O6 for Central avenue,
Commissioner Murphy, who was pres
ent, said the figure was nearer s1.98,
and he was corroborated by City En-
gineer Rundlett. The price on Ex-
change street, he said, was nearly {
cents higher, and by all manner of

allowing the extension Of its tracks to
the ground acquired. The new tract
is to be used for warehouse and ter
minal purposes. ~
The location of the tunnel will be
just to the west of the present La
fayette bridge and will be twenty-four
feet below the present grade of the
street. 1t will make room for two
tracks, and these will branch out into
series of switches and spurs that
will tap all of the territory abutting
Westminster street.
The company promises to place the
street in repair and not to interrupt
traffic while the tunnel is In progress
of construction.
No Delay Expected.
The ordinance was sent to the COM
mittee on streets, but it Is not be-
teved that any serious delay will be
enta1led. The company has announced
It's intention of spending a large sum
In the construction Of the new yards
and terminals, and the grading of the
same, and it desires to commence work
at once.
The fact that the Northern Pacific
is seeking the right to construct the
tunnel under the grade of Lafayette
avenue is taken to establish that the
same company has been the purchaser
of all the realty south of that thor
oughfare. The property included in the
tract between Seventh street and La
fayette avenue and bounded on the
west by Neill or Willius street will. 1t
is now supposed, be converted into
yards, and it is thought that extensive
freight terminals will be established.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis and the
Illinois Central are now occupying a
strip of Northern Pacific property I'm
mediately south of Lafayette avenue.
Two tracks are there employed as
coach yards. The main tracks run
ming from the Union depot pass under
the Lafayette avenue bridge, and two
other tracks to the south of the main
belt, on a lower embankrnent, run
parallel with them past the side tracks
used by the Minneapolis & ST. Louis
ana Illinois Central and pass under
Westminster avenue through a tunnel
Immediately beyond the Lafayette ave-
nue. bridge.

The contention of the legal depart

company must keep the space between

Sembly last night when resolution
was passed demanding Of the COM

self, keep careful account of the ex-
pense incurred and report the same to
the council. which will proceed toward
its collection.
The provision for cleaning the por-
ton OF the street over which the COM
pany has jurisdiction has always been
a part of the ordinance under which
the street car system is operated, but
has never been enforced
Every year the winters accumula-
ton OF snow and mud between the
tracks has been removed without
cent of cost to the company, and this
has been supplemented by the daily
sweeping, which the space within the
remainder of the street receives dur
ing the summer and fall. The only
thing the company ever does is to re-
move the snow when it becomes a
hindrance to traffic
Another piece of street car legisla-
ton passed last night was the ordi-
nance calling for a better service on
the Grand avenue and Lafayette lines.
Assemblyman Schurmeier is the au-
thor, and when it last reached the
board of aldermen it was tabled be-
cause Aid. Elder did not want it. The
ordinance calls for a five and ten-min-
ute schedule throughout the day and
evening.

GIRL WANTS TO BE
Welded TO Her
DEAD LOVER
Asked Clerk of Courts to
Legalize Marriage for
Which Preparations Had
Been All Made but Which
Was Prevented by His
Death.

Robbed by death Of the young man
who was to have become her husband,
Miss Mary Tyler, a pretty girl of nine
teen, yesterday appealed to the clerk of
courts office to have the marriage
legalized regardless of the fact that her
finance was then a corpse. No relief
could be afforded her and She left the
court house in sorrow.
Three weeks ago she was to have
been married to Samuel l.. Smith,
young man living at 304 East Seventh
street. The couple secured a marriage
license Feb. 26, and went to the office
of Court Commissioner Gallick with
the intention of being married.
- Before the ceremony was perform
ed, however, Smith discovered that he
had no money with him, and left the
license with Mr.. Gallick, saying he
would return the following day.
Stricken Ill on Intended Day.
A week later he came in and made
arrangements to have the marriage
take place the next day, but upon the
day set for the wedding the young man
was taken i'll with pneumonia and was
confined to his bed till his death.
s Day after day and night after night
the faithful little woman watched at
his bedside and attended his every
want, but regardless of her tender care
the young mans condition gradually
beCtIlle worse, anu yeSIeTuIy IuOIulHS
he breathed his last.
Miss Tyler, broken in health from
her long vigil at her lovers bedside, is
almost Frustrated.
Her relatives endeavored to persuade
her to return to her home and rest,
but she insisted on first learning
whether or not, the license having al
ready been secured, the marriage could
not be legaliZed.
The license was secured from Court
Commissioner Gallick, and when it was
learned that the marriage could not
be recorded, Miss Tyler returned home
with the unused document in her pos
session.
The funeral services of Mr.. Smith
will be held this afternoon from the
home of Mrs. Mary Cooper, 3O4 East
Seventh street, where he has lived for
some time, and the garments which he
had purchased for his wedding will be
his funeral shroud.

GRAND OPERA SEATS
IN BRISK DEMAND
Castle Square Company Will Receive
Warm Reception.

After the length of time that has
elapsed since the last presentation of
grand opera in st. Paul, it was gener-
ally believed that st. Paul was in a
strongly receptive mood for the en-
gagement Of the Castle Square COM
pany, but even the most sanguine ex-
pectations of those interested in the
event failed to anticipate the eager
ness with which the opening of the
seat sale was greeted.
A long line stood waiting when the
box office was opened for business,
and throughout the day there was a
brisk demand for the best seats.
"Lohengrin' is generally pronounced
among musicians to have been a popu-
lar selection for the opening of the st.
Paul engagement, for it is we'll recog-
nized that Wagner has a large follow
ing in this city. bohemian Grip will
be alternated with "Lohengrin''
throughout the first week of the en-
gagement here, and Aida" and Mar
tina" will be the operas for the second
week, which begins April 6.

How the Building Looks With the Roof and Walls Down


preceded by three little flower girls,
Eldora Sandburg, Josephine Ley and
Hattie Kraniger. The postulants were
beautifully gowned in bridal robes and
wore bridal wreaths on their heads.
The splendor of their attire contrasted
sharply with the somber severity of the
gowns they assumed later, the severe
black habits of the noYices.
In the first part of the service the
postulants in bridal array knelt before
the altar and expressed their wish to
enter the sisterhood. Having answered
satisfactorily the questions put by the
officiating priest they turned and pass
ed slowly from the chapel When the
procession re-entered black habits had
