MRS. HUBBARD's INDEBTEDNESS
 TO WALLACE.

TO WALLACE
 To feel the necessity of publicly no- ticing the public utterances of the widow of a man whose memory is so dear to me as that of Leonidas Hub bard, is peculiarly distressin. Yet it is duty and try not to shirk from duty. Since the departure of MT. Wallace for Labrador a sensational dispatch from Halifax has been going the rounds of the press quoting Mrs. Hubbard-who Is on her way to visit the place where her husband died in Labrador, ninety miles from Northwest River Post-as charging MT. Wallace with practically causing the death of her husband. Just how is not explain
 ed in the dispatch. Were Wallace here to defend himself, or had this dispatch been given less publicity, should not refer to it, for you can very readily understand how very en- barrassing is my position, with the tender memory of dead associate on one side and on the other the good nam of another, whom I feel in duty bound to defend, outrageously assailed by one who in common decency if not in common gratitude should be the last person on earth to say an unkind word against him. Of course there is only one way in which Wallace could have failed in his duty toward Hubbard, and taht by unnecessarily abandoning him Hubbard's own diary which any one can read in the March, 1905, number of this magazine, gives substantial and repeated evidence of how close and af- fectionate was the friendship between the two men, while through all the closing entries is frequent expression of relief and satisfaction of the two being in such harmony of spirit. If more convincing evidence of the warmth of tie binding these two companions or proof that the two acted in absolute accord at the final sad parting is need ed, the last entry in that pathetic diary will supply it. I advise any one who is interested to read that diary.
 Despite repeated dispatches an in- terviews with hsr, until I hear the in- famous charge from her own lips I cannot bring myself to believe that
 Mrs. Hubbard could harbor much less make public, such outrageously cruel and false accusations. If ever a man ! showed his love and loyalty for an- other, Wallace showed it for Hubbard;

HYPERION OPENED.

Lew Dockstader's Minstrels Fired the
 Preliminary Gun.
 The preliminary opening of the Hy- perion was on Saturday night, when Lew Dockstader's fine minstrel compa- ny immensely entertained large au- dience. The musical numbers were es- pecially good, while MT. Dockstader himself, Neil o'Brien, Carroll Johnson and others dispensed fun with lavish hands. The minstrel first part was unique and clever, while the olio was replete with interesting spectacles and funny happenings. Altogether Dock stader's this year Is hit.
