San Francisco, Dec. 8.—late this after- noon the supreme court dispelled the last hopes of W. H.T. Durrant, the mur- derer of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams, by dieposing in a summary manner of his two appeals. Ina written opinion trom the pen of Justice Reatty, which is concurred in by all but one of his colleagues, the court affirms the judgment of Judge Bahrs in remanding the prieoner to San Quentin until the time set for his execu- tion, but reverses that i INDIGNANT IN DAASON How the Royalty Notification was Re- ceived in the Heart oi the Klondi*e.,., LARGE MASS-MEBTING OF MINFRS Durrant to be hanged on November "1, and remands the case to the superior court with instructions to proceed accord- ing to law. As the remittur was ordered issued ferthwith, and the court holds that ex- ceution can only be stayed now by the of a of bl cause, it only remains to resentence the condemned murderer, which will prob- ably be done tomorrow. Justice Garoutte alone dissented from thie opinion, muintaining that Durrant’s appeals should have been dismissed, as the time allowed by law for their per- fection had been allowed to pass. CONCERNING FOREIGN COMPANIES. Renders an impo! Decision weather, I came here to buy goods.” Assuredly the ealeaman is not to envied holiday time. _ Rogsiand merchants are enterprising. They have drawn from all parta of the world to stock their stores with holiday goods. Indeed, a connoisseur would be surprised beyond measure at the widely diverging variety of goods to be seen dis- played in the leading stores—light deli- cate silk novelties, almost flimsy enough to be blown away by the puffofa breath ; fancifully designed china ware, trans- parent enough to see objecta through; heavy furs of all kinds and clouds of toys of every size, description and design. Toys that will make the small boy deli- rious with joy and cause baby to coo like a dove. Even now as the children trudge h3me | from echool they gather, as if faccinated, in little knots in front ef the toy win- dows and carry on an animated conver- sation about the merits of the pretty things. Then they rush homeand eager- ly beategé mamms with petitions to buy out the whole store. Mamma tellethem to be good, and after they are tucked in of i ry the rejoinder, ‘I did not come here to talk}: Relative to Re-Registration. 8. R. Wootton, registrar of joint stock companies, has interpreted the law re- gulating the registration of joint stock companies, and in answer to a letter written by a local firm of brokers, says in substance: “Extra provincial companies registered under the old laws, if they wish to carry on business within the scope of the ‘Companies’ Act, 1897,” will have to Pp to Rescind the Order Issued From Ottawa. A special corresponient of the San Francisco Examiner writes under a, re- ceut date of the announcement ot thomas Fawcett, the Gold Commissioner for the Klondike region, that he had received from the minister of the In- terior at Ottawa, official notification of the adoption in council of new regula- ticns for the Yukon digtrict, under which 10 and 20 per cent. royalties are 'to be ievied on the output of gold mines. The new laws are not effective until proclaimed in the districts to which they apply. : le will not proclaim them forthwith ~ for the reason that Majar Walsh, who comes to supervise the enforcements of the laws of Canada, is reported: to be nearing Daweon, and because unofficial information had arrived to the effect that the objectionable regulations had been rescinded. : Daweon is aflame with indignation. An open-air mass meeting was held, and the suggestion of some of the most im- portant claim holders to consider the comply with the p of tle new Captain George Morgan pre- sided. but earnest h act after January 1, 1898, The di will be found in section 133, and the registration fee will be $10, unless the company is to be specially limited, in which caee full fees must be paid.” Section 183 provides that any extra- provincial company desiring to become registered may petition therefor under the common seal of the company and file with the registrar a true copy of the charter and regulations of the company and verified to the satisfaction of the registrar: an affidavit that the company ia stil! in existence and legally author- zed to do business; a copy of the last balance shect of the company and the auditors’ report thereon ; aduly executed were made and a committee of tive was . chosen to draft a memorial directing the of the C: ian g of thenew BAPTIST MUSICALE.

In a mountain city like this one would naturally sup; that everything would be high. But ual efforte have suceeded in securing holiday goods at bottom prices, and in- tend to give the Rossland public the benefit of these prices. Then ,too, most ofthe merchants bave laid in large stocks and competition will be keen. Rossland husbands are well trained. This fact is evident from the lerge num- ber of lady shoppers and the few men to be geen, Rossland men have probab- learned, by sad . experience, as well as those in other places, tbat in order to have the sign, ‘‘God bless our home,” hanging with its face outward, it is the best plan to let the women do the buy- ing. Then there will be no cutting re- marks reminding dear “hubby”? the same piece of goods could be bought ‘for half the price and that it was not at all what was wanted. Women are expert huyers. There is no question on that point.. Men have long since realized this and relinquished all rights in that line to the gentler sex. Many new novelties are out this year. There are a bewildering variety of ew desigusin toys. Some of the new things in crockery is the Jumbo coffee cup, the flat celery dish and the’ tapering choca- late pot. There are many new types of mustache and goatee cups. China ware can now be had very cheaply which cannot be told from hand painted goods. Instead of being painted it is stamped in colors and no one can tell the differ- ence the imitation is so perfect. Price of Silver.
