what they missed. The daring deeds of

ploited without end by those who wept
for them in the hour of their defeat,
and stand offin a great measure the
banterings of the victors. The contest-
ing teame on this occasion made a tang-
ible demonstration of how—the proper
how of p aying ball. The large number

that, in iP to over-
tures from a number of manufacturers
of various typesetting machines, Pub-
lisher George W. Childs-Drexel has giv-
en it out flat-footed that no machines
will be introduced into the Ledger office
during his lifetime, or certainly during
his control of the per. This is in
strict accordance with the Mey laid
down by the late George W. Childs, who
regarded his printers as_a portion of
his personal family, and refused to con-
sider any proposition for the equipment
of the “Ledger with typesetting ma-
chines, on the ground that he would not
be a party to the throwing of a single
one of his old printers out of employ-
ment. The Ledger is now the only
paper in this city not set. by machines,
aad its faithfulness to the old “type”
means an additional expenditure of a
good many thousand dollars monthly,
as compured with the composition bills
of its contemporaries.

GENERAL POLICE MATTERS

Chief of Pcoviucial Police Hussey
and Deputy Attorney-
General Coming.

J. 8. Ingram, Rossland’s chief of
police, entered upon his duties today.
The city, for the present, will use the
provinciel jail. This, however, will
probably be for a very short time as the
city i -y
q until the jail i
built in connection with the fire and
city hall. Mr. Ingram, as well as his
men, have had wide.experience in police
mattere, and have letters of recommen-
dation from those they have served.
In outlining his policy to a representa-
tive of the Recoxp Mr. Ingram said:
““Those who know my past record know
what my policy will’ be. As far as it
comes within my power, I shall enforce
the city’s laws irrespective of person.
company or corporation. Io am not
much of a talker and would rather let
my future actione speak for me. It
alali always be my policy to enforce the
laws with as much delicacy as possible
with due regard for the rights of citizens,
vut if they tranegress the laws purposely
then they must suffer the penaltics.””

Mr. Ingram has been chief of police of

Winnipeg, Calgary and other cities, and
has letters by the score froin_ city .coun-
cilwen from cach of the cities “(he has
served, For the present his headquar-
ters will be at the city hall,

ve between Mayor Scott and pro-
vincial policeman, J. Kirkup.

The influence for the better, in regar!
to the new appointments, will be felt in
more ways than one. Heretofore the
city has becn unable to enforce certain
bylaws owing to the fact that the pro-
vincial police had no direct. jurisdiction
over certain of them. This fact, too,
caused the city to lose money because
some Feople refused to pay licenses.
Now, unless every individual paye he
will be hauled before the poles magis-

his license.

THE ROCK SHATTERED.

Five Blasts Shot Off in Columbia Ave-
nue Bluff Today.

Five blasts, which were shot off this
afternoon, shattered the rock consider-
ably on the West Columbia bluff. J. D.
Cameron, who has charge of the work,
covered the blasts so well that nota
particle of the rock escaped.

Teameters will hail with delight the
time they sec the bluff removed. There
are no plices where teams can pags in
the road that winds around the bluff.
Owing to sharp curves one team cannot
see another coming. It was only thie
aiternoon that a loaded team had to
back all the way down the hill to let
another pass.

was alarge crowd of Rossland’s most
elete people there, who whiled away the
gay hors in a trance of enjoyment. In
the gallery were many people who en-
joyed watching the merry, light-footed
Lotharios and Joliettes tripping the
light fantastic in rhythm to the dreamy
etrains produced by the Rossland orches

Itis owing to Mrs. J. L. Wilgon’s
taste that the hall was [gv nicely
decorated. _ Bunting turned the bare
poles into Oriental columns, and red,

THE SONG OF THE CAMP.

‘Give us a song,” the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When die gheated guns of the camps

TRAMP AMONG KINGS

The dark Redan, in silent scoff,
Lay grim and threatening, under;
And the tawny mound of the Mala-

koff
No longer belched its thunder.
There wee @ pause. The guardsman

Bal
_‘*We storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing, while we may, another da:
ill bring enough of sorrow.”

They lay along the battery’s side,
elow the smoking cannon—
Brave hearts from Severn ‘and from

ivde,
And from the banks of Shannon.

They sang of love, and not of fame;
Forgot was Britain’s glory;

Each heart recalled a different name,
Bat all ang ‘‘Annie Laurie,”

Voice after voice caught up the song,
Under its tender passion

Roee like an anthem, rich and strong—
Their battle-eve confession.

Dear girl, her name he dare not speak,
Yet, as the song grew louder,

Something upon the soldier’s cheek
Washed off the stain of powder.

Beyond the darkening oceans burned

‘he bloody sunset’s ember,

While the Crimean valleys learned

How English love remembers.

And once again a fire of shell
Rained on the Russian quarters,

With streams of ehot, and burst of shell,
And bellowing of the mortars.

And Irish Nora’s eyes are dim
For a singer dumb and g
And English Mary mourns him
ho sang of ‘Annie Laurie.”
Ah, eolliers! fo your honored rest
Your truth and valor beating ;
The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring.

though this infant wonder travels with-
out a cent and never accepts money, he
always travels ‘irst class an! stops at
the best hotels. He called at the Rec-
orp office today and gave an interview
abvut how he came to start out to en-
circle the globe which has never been
published before.

Leading papers, the wide world over
have devoted columns of space to his
travels and interviews with crowned
heads. He has been photographed and
sartooned: he hag beon wined and

that extensive travel begets.

His trip was not made in wanton
idleness to simply satisfy a love of

everything except roll on the floor.

He thought I was the funniest thing he

BROOKLYN BRIDGE JUMP.

Captain W. C. Keeble Met Death ina
Leap for Fame.

New York, July 5.—Another candidate
for fame met death yesterday in jump-
ing from the Brooklyn bridge." He was
Captain W. C. Keeble, who had a repu-
tation of jumping from bridges and the
masts of vessels. The bridge police re-
ceived a “tip” of the coming event on
Saturday evening. Captain Ward at
once ordered three patrolmen stationed
at either end of the bridge.

Officer Grady, who was watching
Keeble, saw him climb to the top of the
rail, and running toward him, shouted
to» him to stop. Before he could reach
him the man leaped feet foremost.

_ His body made two complete revolu-
tions before it reached the water, 140
feet below, when it struck the water
with a splash, disappearing and was not
seen afterwards,

Keeble, it was learned, was formerly a
sergeant in Coxcy’s army, and up to
four weeks ago, a waiter in a restaurant.
