TO IMPROVE
c. P. R. Will Prepare For
 Good Season

The Canadian Pacific Railway Com pany is preparing for much better steamship svrvice on the North Pacific coast next year than 1t ever has had before. The Princess May will have s15O,0O0 expended on her in repairs, practically making her a new ship, and a new boat is now building at Victoria.
 The Princess May will go to the ship yards November l, and the expenditure of $50, 900 that has been appropriated for her improvement will begin. She will be practically made over.
 When she comes from the ship yards the Princess May will have accomo- dations for POO frst-class passengers Tn twc-berth state rooms, and she will have social halls the full length of the ship. The promenades on the main deck will be done away with. The house will be built up flush with the hull of the craft. The st6 @ rooms on that deck will ..all open into social halls in the center of the vessel, as they do on several of the other popular pas senger ships. Above this deck there will be double row of staterOoms, which will extend from one end of the ship to the other, except for an ob- serYaticn room forward. Still above this deck there will be few State- rooms in the texas, in addition to those occupied by the navigating officers. These will be directly in the rear of the pilot house. The dining room will be removed from its present position, ubout midships below the main deck, to position on the same deck in the after part of the vessel. The smoking room will be unchanged. It is desired to save the carved mahogany fnishingS of this room intact as they are at the present time.
 In addition to all these improvements the machinery in the Princess May will give place to new, The engines and boilers have been built and are on their way from Great Britain. There will be three boilers instead of two. These will add a knot or more per hour to the ships speed,
 The new vessel that is being built by this company will be about 25O feet long. The plans and lines of the Prin- cess Victoria are being used, the chief difference being that the new boat Will be made of wood and not so large.

What Lincoln Said When Harvey
 Ended n Two Hours Talk.
 The late Hon. Charles ". Slack told the following of the Hon. Peter liar vey. the friend and biographer of Dan iel Webster:
 MT. Harvey was a large man with a small voice and that pOmposity of man. ner that many very ditIident men pos sess. Above everything he valued and prided himself upon his friendship with the great eXpOunder."
 The first year of the War of the Re bellion he went to Washington, and on his return was asked how he liked President Lincoln.
 "Well," he said, "Mr. Lincoln is a very singular man. l went on to see him, and told him that had been an intimate personal friend of Daniel Webster; that I had talked with him so much on the affairs of the country that 1 felt perfectly confident I could tell him exactly what MT. Webster would advise in the present crisis, and thereupon ! talked to Lincoln for two solid hours, telling him just what he should do and what he should not do, and, will you believe it. sir, when l got through all Mir.
