4 DAILY WORLD VANCOUVER, B. CANADA. NOTES BY THE WAY. the people most deeply affected must be carefully weighed, and receive all due consideration at the hands of the Government of the day. THE BaUslltUWto.

COFFEE When ycu drink what is given you for Coffee, does it suit you? If not, come or send to TBMPLETOFS Carrall Street. And you will tell a different story. The Coffee sold for 40 cents per pound is simply delicious, and the Blended Teas sold at SO cents are UNEQUALLED IN CANADA A Russian army lieutenant w'ho was visiting the ca'thedral at M'ainz undertook to climb to ithe highest point of the spire, which is ii 4 wedt from the ground, by means of a ladder left by some workmen. On reaching the top he toppled over and fell Into the interior of the tower, a distance of SO feet, and died in a fow minutes. Nickel coinage has been lately proposed to the French Government to relieve the scarcity of copper coin.

An ingenious meOhod suggested to obvioite the difficulty of mistaking the nickels for silver coins of nearly the same shape is to have the' new coins made with a hole (through the middle so that fhey may be strung like Chinese cash. A queer Insurance case is now before the Vienna courts. A young artillery oflicer became engaged to a young wo man with a dowry of a million norms, and in order to make the marriage possible had first to settle with his creditors. This he did by insuring his life for 300,000 florins, and raising the money he needed on the insurance. The engagement, however, was broken off, whereupon the officer blew his brains out and the companies refuse to pay on the ground that he contemplated suicide when he took out his policies.

A free feast of African oysters was offered to the men and boys on one of the Liverpool docks recently. The Kwarra. a aim ton steamer that had been employed for a couple of years at Lagos, on the west coast of Africa, had been put into dry dock, when her bottom was found to be covered with large oysters. The crowd rushed in before the water was all drawn off, standing waist high In it to reach the oysters and making a solid line on either side of the vessel in the bottom of the dock. All sorts of Implements were used to knock the shells off, and it took the whole force of dock employes to prevent damage being done to the ship.

An Interesting military exhibition was given at Vienna lately, when Austrian officers and soldiers, dressed in all ithe uniforms used in ithe army since 16DB and armed with the weapons of Ithe different periods, went through the successive forms of drill and of m'ilifary evoiluitions. The object of the exhibition was to show the evolution of firearms from the matchlock the m'agazine gun. Riff pirates are again active. They recently adtacked the Spanish steamer Sevilla, with a partly of engineers board who were examining sites for new lighthouses. The steamer took refuge from a storm behind Cape Tres Koreas, when so heavy a rifle tire was opened on her from the shore that she had Ito put out her lighjts and run aut to seii.

A cross between a 'BurchelU zebra and an Isle of Ruin mare has been ob tained 'by an Edinburgh professor, who is trying to procure a beast of burden for South Africa that will not be at tacked by the tsetse fly. The fly does not touch the zebra. The next step is to find out whether the ihybrid animal is sterile like the mule or not, and then whether the tsetse will leave him alone. The Shoe and Leather Journal, To ronto, thinks if men would do less talking about the trope and attend to the business that is at their doors, trade would look up. This habit of Jawing about prospects has grown upon us until every old fellow in the country philosophizes, looks wise and calculates the amount of money that will be put Into circulation when the crop begins to "move." Half the people now a days expect a good crop to collect their bad accounts, spII their worn out stock, and In many ways atone for bad business principles and management.

The world is full of philosophers and speculators. That is why It is so full of failures. Three young Hungarian count esses, daughters of Count Basquez of Badapest, aged la, lb, and 17, are fitting themselves for the variety stage. Puvis de Chavannes last three pan els for the Boston Public Library, re presenting Philosophy, Chemistry, and Physics, are now finished and on ex hibition in Paris. STRUCK OUT FOR THEMSELVES.

Says the Torortto Star: Full of hope and wltlh albout $100 in their pockets Andrew Peppell, of Sutly street, and Frank Cook, of Dovereourt road, aged 16 and 17 respectively, have left their homes and gone to Kossland to make their fortunes. The 'two boys were chums who shared their apples land marbles, played In the same baseball team and aittanded 'the same skating rink. They read the papers and learned all about Rossland, gold, millionaires and divers ofher things. Thereupon they made up their minds. They iwould go Ito Hritish Columbia, live a free and easy life among the red nhirt ed miners, carry revolvers in their hip piwkuts and bowie knives In 'their boots all miners do and finally come home with wagon loads of money, the honored men of their mining camp, larnd set their parents up In brown stone front houses on Jarvis stretlt, with carriage drives, laiwn tennis courts and seven foirft flunkies.

Filled with tlhese ideas tfhe itwo boys put their heads together and laid 'their plans. One of them eoll his bicycle for $40 lit cost $100 when he boughlt It and the other sold his overcoat, not so much for what It was worth as ito prove that 'he would stake 'his pile upon the venlture. He was dead game. To supplement this Pevpell, who had a ttma'll account in the savings bank, drew otit part. So much for the financial operations.

On Wednesday night 'they took their departure. They took their last look, for the time being on the bed room windows where burned the light of their mothers' lamps and then they set their faces resolutely to the west. Parkdale station was their first itramp and there they got their tickets for the wild and woolly West. Their departure was noticed next day, Thursday, and from until Saturday the parents had an anxious time. On the last named day they received a 'letter from Ra Portage, stating wihere the boys were, whalt they were after and how much money they had with them.

Whereupon their parents agreed to let them go and work out their own experi nce among the gold diggers of the Weft GEO. D. BURNS AND HIS POEMS. He Drank Ale on a Three Legged Stoml and Read Proof. Samuel Kinnn.tr, a rutined octogenarian printer, of Edinburgti.

is the possessor of a contemporary's otpinion of Burns received from his father, who was born in Ayr in 1760. "When poet first cMTiie to Edinburgh," states Mr. Kinnoar, "my father was work ing ad a coin p. in Smellie's ofllce, an saw Burns arrive from Ayrshire with his 'copy' in his pocket for the Edin burg edition. My parent had expres sed in regard to Burns, that he 'was a man you might expect great deal from; he had a smart lively look about him." While his poeims were passing through the press Burns was an almost daily visitor to Smellies, and 'was in the habit, Mr.

Kinnear tellls, of whisking his whip about in dangerous proximity to the pressmen's noses, and 'senined desirious to have it believed that he was a verdant country yokel." This waci the opin ion of Alexander Sme.Hie, who was a lad albout 17, 'When the poet thrashed his right leg with his whip as he strode through the case room, the press riom being a portion of it. the pressed being at the end farthest from the door a poor looking place. Burns, It rs said, saw a compositor setting up a Latin word, on which he asked the man how many languages he knew, The answer came, "I wish I kent my ain weel eneuch." Burns, like many Jthers, thought the comi. must be able to read and understand the lan guages he composes. Over half i century ago Mr.

Kinnear was him self engaged tor a short time in Kmel lie's pointing office, which stood on a portion of the site now covered by the Scotsman buildings. It was much the same, he men'tions, as when Burns first saw it. "There was the dingy room in which Smellie received the elite of Edinburgh's literary men; in It was still standing the three legged stool on which Burns used to drink ale, read his proofs and chaff 'his printer. Ait this occupation both Smellie and Burns were adepts, though the former was somewhat a rude and rough com latant. I believe, If I had thought of it, I might have set up a page of the poems from the same old type In wihich they were prlnlted, for the office was stHl as dingy, dark and dusty as in the olden time, and the material did not seem to have been changed much.

But then Mr, Kinnear plaint Ively concludes. Burns in the early forties wUs not 'by any means thought so much of as Burns in so the project did not at the 'time suggest itself to my mind." THE MUSIC HALL BY LAW. The Board of License Commissioners met again this morning, there being present Mayor Collins, in the chair, and Com. ILayfield and McAlister. Rev.

Kditor World: Would you kindly inform us through the medium of The World if our present aldermen did not solemnly promise when seeking election for the present trm to oppose any and every effort to open a dance house in our city, and if so why do they not carry out their pre election pledges? If they were elected on this promise, and I have every reason to believe a majority of them were, how can they hold their heads in this model community and ever expect to hold any office of trust in future when they show such an unenviable record in this dance house matter?

We think it will agree that In the event of twj tenders being equal it in only i.atural that the party power should give the preference to its friends rather than to its enemies. What are facts in this case Tenders were asked for the supply of coal for some 200 Federal establishments in the Province of Quebec and Ihe principle mentioned above was carried out. It is not claimed that every Liberal in Canada from Cape Hreton to Cape Flattery is immaculate or incorruptible; there are stray eheep in every fold. It is said that Somebody took advantage of the ty afforded through partial patronage being placed in his hands to endeavor to traffic in Government contracts. And what does Mr.

Tarte say to this: "SUCH CONDUCT I MUST DE "NOCNTK IN THE MOST EMPHA "TIC MANNER POSSIBLE, AND I REQUEST THE PUBLIC TO RING TO MY NOTICE ANY "SUCH ACT OF WHICH THEY MAY BECOME AWARE." This brief sentence affords a very clear insight irrto the Minister's character. He Jfinouncts such conduct and he desires to acquainted with any such breaches just dealing in order to inflict punishment. Could anything be n. ire statesmanlike, more high minded, and yet Mr. Tarte is held up to obloquy for doing his plain duty! When the Conservatives held the treasury benches did they scent offenders of this kind? No, they winked at wrongdoing and it Is freely alleged participated in the profits.

With the libel suit instituted by Mr. Tarte against Mr. Orenier of La Libre Parole we have nothing to do as the case is sub Judice. We do know, however, that Mr. Tarte has had the courage, to institute proceedings against his assailant, which is not a thing for men who are In the wrong to do.

When the action is ended It will doubtless be found that Mr. Tarte knows what he is about. He states that Mr. Grenier wanted him to back his newspaper and that he declined, hence the attack made him. It is a tribute to Mr.

Tarte's ability that he i being made the target for Tory abuse. It pleases them and does him no injury. THE SILVER DOLLAR. In Mexico they have silver money and the argument Is that it injures rather than helps the workingman. In order to get at the true state of affairs the Chicago Trades and Labor Council has sent two delegates to that country to Investigate the whole question, and report to them in good time before the election.

Meanwhile, some evidence on the relative conditions in both countries has been accumulated by the Mayor of El Paso, Texas, who has drawn up a comparative statement of the prices of 32 articles in that city and the city of Juarez, Just across the river, In Mexico. The prices in El Pa so are stated in United States money, and those in Juarez in Mexican silver. Following are some of the most important articles in common use in the families of American worklngmen EI I'asw. Juarez. Ilreakf.isl 1 acon.

Of course, in the interior they would be much higher. I also And and do certify that Mexican labor in the larger cities is paid 75 cents and $1.50 per day in Mexican silver.

The highest price for the very best and most skilled labor is J2 per day In the same kind of money. In the interior of Mexico, in the country and smaller cities, the wages paid are from 20 to 30 per cent, lower than that given above. The contention of the gold standard men is that there is no reason for this vast difference in prices except that the Mexican dollar, being coined without limit on private account, is worth no more than the silver it contains, while the United States silver dollar, being coined only on Government account and maintained at par with gold by the credit of the Government, is worth about twice as much ill buy about twice as much as the Mexican dollar. It Is therefore argued that if the United States silver dollar were coined as freely as that of Mexico, it would fall, like the Mexican dollar, to the value of the metal it contains, and buy no more goods than the Mexican dollar buys. These are strong contentions.

It is possible, nowevr, that the delegates who have gone to Mexico to investigate the matter may find some new information as to the new conditions of labor, and the remuneration obtainable under a single silver standard. Their report will be eagerly awaited. The Canada Presbyterian says: The Chinese immigration question is clearly one on both sides of which a good deal can be said. It seems to be assumed by Eastern people that the people of British Columbia are a unit against the admission of Chinamen. Some years ago, when oft the Pacific coast, we came to a different conclusion.
