 Speers freely admitted this convers alton, but said that he had not known of any prediction promises nor was was he authorized to speak for the property owners, that in fact the mat, ter had been discouraged by them.
 Many of the statements of the af- fidavlts were emphatically denied by Speers, who accused Shea of embel- fishing the conversation to suit his own fancy.
 Shea acted the role of a cross ex- aminer and the tedious stream of reiteration so bored and disgusted the audience that long before the end of the proceedings only handful of peo pie remained in the room.
 The meeting adjourned without any definite action being taken. The health and police committee, consist ing of Messrs: Bowman, Taylor and Shea will report to the council at the next meeting. Mayor Ashley acted On the committee last night in place of Councilman Shea at the request of the latter when he appointed himself special prosecuting attorney.
 When asked last night why he took such an active interest in preventing the removal of the houses of prostttu' ton, Shea replied that his only mot i've was to prevent men from taking money off of fallen women."
 The consensus of opinion in the council is that the houses of i'll fame muat be moved from Seventh avenue, Mayor Ashley voiced this sentiment in strong terms and he will be backe by every member of the council eX' cept Shea and Tanner. A location will be decided upon that is satis- factory to all the property owners ana where the women will be segre- gated.

BOUNTY EARNED.

The French bark Max, in port at
Vancouver, obtained $4,000 francs, or
about $4,000, TOR the voyage from
London to Vancouver from the French
government. Naturally under these
conditions French owners desire to keen
their ships at sea as long as possible,
and for this reason French vessels fre.
quently make long trips in ballast to
earn the bounty. In the ease of the
Max, instead of coming to Vancouver
via Cape Horn, the shortest route, the
vessel was taken via the Cape of Good
Hope and Tasmania because the more
mileage she covered the more bounty
she would get. Even under these con-
ditions the Max made the passage in
154 days. The Max sailed from Lon
don to Hobart in eighty-three days. AZ
ter a stay Of five days at Hobart the
Max proceeded to Vancouver, making
the trip to Royal roads in sixty-three
days, or LAG days actual sailing time.

times he IS more than likely to feel
a measure of ostracism.
The general tendency of the times is
toward abstemiousness in eating as well
as drinking, ard even in coffee drinking
there is a noticeable decrease.
The general consensus of opinion
seems 70 be that these conditions, as
well as the advance in the restriction
of the sale of alcohol, are due to ad-
vance in civilization and enlightenment,
due to general education and to special
lines of study, notably by the medical
practitioners and sociologists. In short.
students of the situation agree that,
despite the great evils of intemperance,

better. It is ready now to heal itself,

the advancing shadow of the fsal solu-
ton of the problem, whatever that NAV
be-
One of the most convincing proofs of
the awakening which has come. espe-
cially in this country, is the recogni-
ton of the fact on the part of the
manufacturers of both malt and spiritu-
Gus liquors. Their conventions and all
of their publications are very largely
devoted to discussions of plans for com
batting the tendency toward the aboli-
ton of the saloon.

ACADEMY-Good Salome Dance il
f'McFaddeu's Flats"

The fact that "McTadden's Flats" at
'cS,@, Academy, is written by e. w
Townsend, who wrote the truly humor-
Gus Chimmie Fadden sketches. should
guarantee a truly humorous play. But
the comic element in general is OF the
slap stick variety. with lots Of hustle
and motion, and with not much real
hJmor.
There is a big dog that barks. a goat
that pulls fire engine, and a pig that
sucks a milk bottle after being taken
out of the hotel safe. There are fire
crackers, explosions. much falling down
the sliding stairway, and much dia-
logue. Some of the dialogue is funny,
some CT IL is merely noisy.
The Salome dance of Mantilla is as
nearly perfect a piece of work as It
can be. The song, "Wish Had a Girl, -
sung by one of the chorus In place of
Miss Laurence, made a decided hit with
TIE audience. AS far as the part al
10 we'd, j. J. Sullivan, as Timothy Nc
Fadden, was extremely amusing. and
his work stands out as above that OF
the rest OF the production.
