the lady admirers of Mr.. Watson
were not allowed to express their
gratitude for the noble work he has
been engaged in since the early days
of his political career, when he so
gallantly fought in congress alone,
rather than be found in bad COM
pany. I have always admired his in
dependence and, knowing a great deal
of his life, am exceedingly glad to
speak few words in behalf Of so no
bic and generous a statesman. 1t is
safe to say that those who parade as
his prosecutors are only jealous of
his achievements, and right here I
would say that in following his Lord
and Master, the lowly Nazarene, in

I, too, am glad we have q depart

before. The old party papers were
never attractive to me. Poultry,

We have that on our minds too
much now; the insane institutions are
drawing the largest per cent from the
women of rural life.
We should have diversity of
thought; in fact, higher ideals, and
make our life more elevating. The
Bible teaches, "Render unto God the
things that are Gods and unto
Caesar the things that are Caesar s. "
That is, first, love God, second, love
country.
The old party women say politics
are not for women. How can we love
country when we know nothing about

in his study long enough to come

above all this and become the world
greatest reformer.

A PRETTY HAIR ORNAMENT.

The prettiest kind Of hair orna-
ment may be made by the clever wo-
man by taking a yard and half of
inch-wide velvet ribbon and a ard
Of milliner's wire.
The bows are wire only at the one
side of the ribbon and are tied into
four crinkly loops and two upstand-
ing pointed ends, which are embroid-
cred on the top with gold or silver
paillettes, the tiniest to be found.
A hairpin is run through TIE knot
at the back to stick it in the hair
easily. Sometimes it is worn just at
the - of the large puff and again
it is tucked at one side close to the
left ear-Herald.

Professor Peck, champion hurler of
TRADES against the gentler sex, has
just been divorced by his wife on
ground Of desertion, failure to pro-
vide or care about home, and other
complaints. Twas generally, if not
ever, thus. The man who spends
most of his energy pointing out
to women their duty, crying, "Back
to domesticity for you," and the old,
familiar iteration of twaddle, is often
the most remiss Of husbands himself
and fails utterly to give his own wife
any chance at home life.
The professors of the Peck and Her.
rick type are sillier than the silliest
types they try to portray of the OPP
posite sex.
Time was when certain women agi-
tators, burning with very natural
indignation at legal and social injus-
tees from which they and their Sis
ters suffered, went to the unnatural
extreme Of treating all mankind as
enemies of all womankind.
That era Of argument has about
passed, fortunately, but a different
sort Of sex antagonism seems about
to be precipitated by epigram-greedy
male creatures who profess to fear
that the feminine element is made
quate either to its own "sphere" or
any other.

Proportions for Salad Dressing.

The ideal salad dressing is acknowl-
edged to be of lemon juice and tae
finest olive oil. Lemon juice IS far
preferable to vinegar, on account of
the latter's being so bad for
the stomach. Whether the dressing
be r~~"onnaise, French dressing or
an her kind the proper proportion

parts oil. Those who care less for
oil often use it half and half.-Birm-

ONLY IN DREAMS I SEE THEE

BY Mary Chaplin Smith.
In dreams [ may possess thee,
In dreams my heart is thine;
In dreams thy soul comes near me
And answers back to mine.
Only in dreams [ see thee,
Thou art not Of the earth;
These arms shall never clasp thee,
No land has given thee birth.
Thou art shape of hopes and loves,
A vision Of the air,
A frame of high imaginings,
Of tenderness and care.
No form compact Of mortal flesh,
No locks with golden CLEANS,
Can ever hold my heart away
From this dear maid Of dreams.

ONE TUBE FINISHED
 IN PENNSY TUNNELS
The Wonderful Accuracy of the Engi- neers in Charge of the Work.

New York, Feb. 21.-The first of the great system of tunnels and subways by which the Pennsylvania railroad will be able to run trains from Phila- delphia under the Hudson river across Manhattan Island and under the East river to Long Island City. was com pleted today. The two ends of one of the four tubes connecting Manhattan island with Long Island City were brought together under the bed of East river off Thirty fourth street today. and the steel rings composing the spell of the tube were for the first time bolted in one continuous string from shore to shore.
 The tube was begun in August. 1905. lhd is 4.000 feet in length. Two other
 ubes will be completed within a few Jays and the fourth will be finished withiH three months. According to an announcement made by the company the wOrkmen who were digging the tunnel from the Long Island City side broke through into the end of the tun- mel extending from the New York side last night. but the two ends were not connected until today. So accurate were the measurements of the engi- neers that the ends came together with variation of only three -eighths of an inch

RAILROAD UNIONS
 AND LOWER WAGES
Officials of the Brotherhood of En- gneers and or the Trainmen Make Statements.

Cleveland. Feb. 21--Warren Stone. the grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. today made the following statement in connection with the reported purpose of some of the railroad companies to order a gen eral reduction of wages of employees:
 "The threatened reduction of wages is absolutely unjustified from any point of view. Their pay is based on the mileage basis. practically piece work, and, they only have to pay when services are performed. The wages of employees in the train service fall par allel with the shrinkage in business. plus the increased living expenses away from home. The roads are get ting the same return in freight re- ceipts for service rendered as they did when business was good and there is now a conspiracy in asking the men to accept further reductions rather than the result from the present shrinkage in business, and the full power of Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers will be used if necessary to prevent further reduction because it would be absolutely unjust"
 Wm. C. Lee assistant grand master of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train .men. speaking on the same subject, dictated the following: "The wage worker has not had thing to do with this panic and loss of business except to suffer from the mismanagement of

The railroad did an immense business throughout the day, carrying passengers down to Callao to see the battleships and bring ing them back to Lima. In view of the fact that so many sailors were given shore leave. Admiral Evans also sent a number of marines to Lima to see that order was preserved by the men.

 TED UP BY STRIKES
The San Francisco Troubles Are ln- creasing and Promise to Spread.

San Francisco. Feb. 21.-Fifty long shGremen employed by the Pacific Lumber company in unloading its yes sel. the Temple E. Dore. struck today upon being notified that their wages would be cut from s4 to S35O per day. It is anticipated that other firms Twill follow the lead of the company in making a reduction of wages for long shoremen, and last night the long shoremen's union passed resolution to the effect that members will strike as fast as reductions are announced.
 Ten additional steam schooners. owned by members of the owners as sOciatiOn, laid up today and their crews were discharged. In all there are now sixty steam schOoners tied up out of a total of 1O1 vessels. The in dications are that the lockout of ma rine engineers will result in an almost complete tie-up of coast shipping for a time as it is understood that the seamen's union stand behind the engi- neers and longshoremen. and the own CTS seem determined to make a big fight for reductions in wages and men employed.

They gave concrete expression to that cardinal American principle Taxation without representation is tyranny"
 The forms of tyranny change from age to age-from the militarism of Rome to the ecclesiastical tyranny that brought about the reformation then followed political tyranny, which pro- duced our revolution; then came econ omic tyranny-the oppression of the I masses s-which brought about the French revolution.

THE NAVY DEFENDED
 BY. SENATOR PERKINS
His Justification of the Expenditure for
 Its UpbuiIding
It Vas Found Not Alone in the Betterments for Ma
 tiOna Defense but in Giving the United States First Place in the and Steel Trade.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Senator Per kins of California today spoke in the senate in justification of the expendi- tuTe for the upbuilding of the Ameri- can navy and the policy of sending the fleet to the Pacific. He reviewed the achievements of the navy and declar- ed it was the most popular branch of the government service.
 When the fleet is joined by other effective vessels on the Pacific" he said, we shall have a fleet of eighteen battleships, eighteen armored cruisers thirteen protected cruisers, thirteen destroyers. five torpedo boats and two submarines. The battleships and cruisers alone aggregate 4S2;172 tons while the only other naval power on the Pacific, Japan, has only S74.7Ol tons in all classes of vessels. The Pa cific fleet will be amply able to protect our interests on that ocean,"
 The senator sketChed the growth of the navy from 1883 to the present day when the United States has become the second sea power in the world surpassing France by a small margin and Ear outstripping Germany, Russia and Japan. This lead. he said, the United States is easily able to main- tain. By authorizing two more battle ships of the big gun type, this nation would still lead France by 10000 tons.
 Reference was made to the change in the character Of oattleships which resulted from the lessons of the Rus SO-Japanese war and which taught the independence of the ships carrying big guns so that the greater weight of metal can be brought within a shorter battle line. Hence all the naval pow CTS are building ships carrying only 12-inch rifles for offensive purposes, and comparatively, few small rapid fire guns for defense against torpedo attacks.
 The cost of the ships for the new navy built, building or authorized. is S909.359 190 while the total expenditures on account of naval estimates since 1883 is s1.244.651. .029. Said Mir Perkins: This vast expenditure was not as mag be claimed by some. unproGuctive as the construction of the navy gave such stimulus to the iron trade that more mills were established, better material produced. prices lowered, iron and steel came into general use in all kinds of construction and we are the great est iron and steel manufacturers ir the world"

Judqe Hunter Orders Release of all Jap-
 dnese immigrants
Case Appealed by Counsel for the Province and Will be RailrOaded to the Tribunal of Last Resort, the Privy Council.

Vancouver, Feb. 21.-Chief Justice Hunter today directed that the two Japanese now lying in New Westmin- ter jail for violating the recently pass ed natal act in this province, should be immediately discharged On de- mand being made by Robert Cassidy K. C.. representing the province. that recOgnizance be demanded from the prisoners. pending an appeal. which was instantly taken. his lordship re- fused to grant the request and stated that the two Japanese were peacea- ble subjects of Japan. illegally de- tained. As far as he could see they evidently had a good cause of action against somebody The chief justice in pronouncing his opinion expressly stated that he did not intend to touch upon the question as to whether the provincial natal act was intra wires. as the fact that the passage of dO- minion legislation sanctioned the trea- ty with Japan and placed the ques- tion in a different sphere.
 In reserved manner his lordship stated that he ventured the opinion that the provincial natal act did not appear to be in contravention of the general immigration laws of the do- minion as the British North America act allowed the provinces certain rights of legislation regarding immi- grafton. The real question was. how ever as to whether the provincial na- tai act cCntraVened the treaty with Japan. which. by parliamentary au- thority. stood on a par with all other statutes of the land. There is no doubt the provincial act must be held imperative as regards subjects of Ja- pan seeking to enter the province
 Immediately after the judgment Cassidy gave notice of appeal. and asked that the case be viewed as an urgent one and an argument heard at the earliest possible moment in order to expedite the appeal to the privy council. The chief justice replied that it is advisable that the question be settled at an early date and thought a special session of the full court of British Columbia could be arranged to hear the appeal at an early date. Thence the matter could promptly proceed to the tribunal of final re- sort.
