ABOUT “FATHER PAT,”

What a Correspondent of the Minneap-
olis Times Says of the Preacher.

From the Minneapolis Times the fol-

is taken:

One thing all newcomers remark in
the towns in the Kootenays is the pres-
ence of churches, and it isan index of
the character of the people that close
touch confirms, Here in Rossland there
ave Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian,
Catholic and Episcopal congregations
and church buildings; in Trail, Baptist,
Methodist, Episcopal, and Catholic, an
even in the newer camps religious eer
vices are held regularly by the migsion-
aries, who traverse the traiis on foot to
keep t their appointments.

here is one man in British Colum-
bia whom every miner, prospector and
pioneer knows by his. cognomen of
“Father Pat.” He is not an Irishman
nor is he a priest of Rome, bit when the
Canadian Pacific railway was pushin;
its tortuous way across the  Selkirl
range, the Rev. Mr. Irwin, just gradu-
ate dirom the Oxford university and or-
dained in England in tho Epinopa
church, came out as a missionary. He
did not hang back among civilize com:
munities, but in the front rank, among
Jawless men he worked and preached.

No man was injured, not one lonely
chap faraway from home was ill in
some rude shack or ruder occupied
bunkhouse, but Father Pat was there to
nurse and care for him, even to cook for
him and carry not alone the gospel, but
those little attentions the sick crave and
appreciate.

From Calgary on the prairies up
through Donald, Revelstoke to Kam-
loops, down through the Slocan, and in
every mining camp, men of all rank and
stations, all creeds and religions, have
naught but good to say of this noble
man, whose influence for good in British
Columbia can never be estimated and
many a fellow who has tried to impose
on the pioneer preacher has been
taught a trick in wrestling or boxing,
when the earnest preacher has resorted
temporarily to carnel arguments aud his
soon-to-be convert has found himeelf
sprawling in the dirt and the laughing
face of Father Pat looking at him in
quiet enjoyment for his discomtiture.
In mary years experience on the fron-
tise Lhave yet to meet a man of whom
very one has 8+ much good to say and
ouainet whom none can say ill.

A BOMB EXPLODED

Mayor Causes Consternation By
Suspending MacNeill at
Council Meeting.

for New City Hall—Other
Business,

The mavor quietly dropped a bomb
among the city councilmen last evening
by suspending City Solicitor Ma7Neill
and for a time confusion ran rife. Mem-
bers jumped to thir feet, with angry re-
torts .,-cinging from their lips, and fitful
flashes of eloquence burst forth, but it
proved unavailing. Throughout it all
the mayor smiled pleasantly and held
steadily to his course. The meeting was
lively in more ways than one. Every
question brought up seemed to provoke
a storm of opposition.

A motion to rescind the order locating
the vity hall on Washington and Second
streete was lost; at the request of the
trade’s unions the sixteenth of July was
declared a half holiday: Long's sewor-
age plans were adopted; the beard of
works were empowered to tear down the
Jubilee arches, and a spirited debate
took place about placing on another
scavanger.

After di routine b

A VERY LIVELY SESSION te

“Do I understand that we have no
solicitor?” asked Fraser, but before the
mayor could reply Raymer jumped to

his feet and exclaimed: ‘I am at a loss
to find words to express my great sur-
prise. The first thing this. council did
was to appoint asolicitor. I don’t think
you showed—” ‘‘Excuse me,” inter-
rupted the mayor.—“I have the floor,”
broke in Raymer. ‘‘You pave your con-
sent to the appointment.’
“You have a perfect righ: ¢ to speak for

“Mr. "MacNeill has made a trip to the

Coast in the interests of the city and
waived his claim to expenses,’ said
Fraser.
“If Mr. MacNeill or anyone else has
any claims against the city,” retorted
the mayor, “he had better put it in
right away

‘I agpeat that your honor-fulfill your
promise and coll taxes yourself,”
said Johnson.

“T shall do’ so, if it is needed,” said
the mayor smiling.

“Will you poe up bonds?” asked
‘aymer.

“T move that Mr. MacNeill be rein-
statéd at a salary of $200-per month,”
said Fraser. feel that I have done
my duty,’’ said the mayor, resignedly.
Johnson amended the motion by pro-
posing $150 per month. The amend-
ment was lost by Raymer, McPherson,
and Fraser voting against it. The orig-
inal motion was put and lost by John-
son, Wallace, and the mayor voting
against it. So that left the city with-
out a solicitor.

up the firs ha all site question. At one

‘Ths mayor thought it unwise to ac-

asked the city solicitor for hia opinion.
“T have written to Victoria,” said Mr.
MacNeill, ‘‘and find that the ‘title there

‘Since there is a doubt,” began John-
son—‘‘Excuse me, but there is none,”
interrupted Fraser. ‘Well,’ continued
Johnson, “the city sulicitor says so and

better consider Lincoln street.
Fraser—We, as a c rporation,

the street, and vet you ask usto turn
around and occupy the street onrselves.

at each street intersection. It provides
for 10 and 12inch mains that empties
into a flume leading to the Columbia
river. There are but three places be-

work i is needed.
The gutters will be eemented. The
mavor thought that delay was danger-
ous and that the sewerage system should
be put in as soon as possible. The as-
sessment roll should be made up and
the matter immediately laid before the

would have something to say about the
matter, also.

Johnson—J. R. Cook has offered the
city two lots on Le Koi avenue for

location for a fire site, it would be better
than locating on land in dispute.

LETTERS OF INQUIRY.

Behind the Scenes in the Mayor's
Office.

If-the public could get one peep behind
the scenes and see the curious letters of
inquiry that are sent tothe muyor of a
city like Rossland, it would be royally
entertained. These letters represent all
shades of people, who ask all manner of
questions.
In her capacity of mayor’s stenog-
rapher, Mrs. Helen Keyes looks after
these letters, For the sake of the city
she answers them all. The letters are
from laborers, cle ks, mechanics, busi-
int men, bankers, meray doctors,
wyers,ani
inquire, ‘do you think. = business
would succeed in land.” Their
ueries would tax the patience of Job.

One asks, ‘‘is there many nice women
there? another, “how are theschools,”

ird, ‘do you think I could make a

tk ing there ro it I came broke,” a fourth,
“what is the climate like,” a fifth, “‘is
it a rough place,” and a sixth, evidentl;
a woman, ‘what is the chance fora good
lookin girl to gain a husband with
ana?” Accompanying each letter is
generally along list of questionswhich it
would take an expert weeks to answer
correctly.
**Do the writers send return stamps,”
was asked of Mrs.
“One out of 200 perhaps do.’”’ she re-
plied smiling. ‘You don’t suppose that
ple wish to insult Rossland, by
intimating that such a city is not able to
furnish stamps,
Yet it seems Nteainee that ple, and.
professional men, too, should expect to
receive answers to their queries, with-
outenclosing a stamp. These letters
are proof of one thing, they show that
the outside world is keeping one eye on
land with a view of bettering their
condition.

ARE BOTH FIGHTERS.

How Biddy Bishop and Higgs Are
Spending Their Time.

George Higgs, who is to box ten
rounds with Biddy Bishop next Satur-
day night at the opera house, is one of
the few boxers who stood off Dick Case,
the welter weight pugilist. Higgs made
a good fight against Case and the battle
was declared a draw at the end of the
twenty-fifth round.

Higgs has beeu fighting some nine
years. He was born in Olney, Bucks,
England, and came to this country whe
a youngster. He has fought all over the
nited States and Canada, always with
credit to himself.

otter weight class. His

waysof the hurricane o

never keeps an audience waiting for 2s
interesting round.

Bishop, who is to met Higgs, has
never much to say, but keeps right on
in his training, preferring to do his talk-
ingin the ring. Biddy is a faithtal
worker and never leaves a stone un-
turned in conditioning himself for any
kind of a contest. Bishop is in perfect
fix now and looks as hard as a rock.

A DRUNKEN CHINEE.

He Makes All Kinds of Sport for the
Loafers.

A drunken Chinaman is one of the
funniest things imaginable. There is
one in this city addicted to liquor that
furnishes all kinds of sport to the loafers
who frequent saloons. He looks like
any other toper except that he has the
flowing robes, the cue and the almond
eyes of his race. His big, wide sleeves
are frayed and torn underneath, his
clothes are soiled and dirty and h

that general appearance of debility
which characterizes the frequent im-
biber. His only companion is a smart
looking, yellow dog, which the China-
man makes believe will do all ds of
things.

ARCH TORN DOWN.

the arch that spanned Columbia avenue
The Jubilee committee
refused to come to the assistance of Fred
Winson and J. Roberteon, who are $50

have to dig the money from their
