London, June 2.—A woman is shortly to be invested, though in a restricted form, with the pow- ers of a justice of the peace in England. Miss Enid 8. Duncan, chairman of the West Ham Board of Guardians, has been specially authorized by the lord chancellor to act as a justice of the peace for the purpose of certifying lunatics. Chairmen of county councils, mayors of boroughs and chair- men of urban and rural councils act, ex officio, as magistrates, but only if they are men. When Lady Dockrell, a few years ago, was elected chairman of the Black Rock council, there was a discussion as to whether she was entitled to sit on the magisterial bench, and it was decided that as a woman she was disqualified by an act of Parliament of 1907. The ex officio issue does not rise in the case of Miss Dunean, as the magistrate privilege doe* not attach to the position of chair- man of a board of guardians, but it is now a question whether the Lord Chaneellor, having granted part of the powers of a justice of the pece to a woman, has jurisdiction to grant full powers, OUR GREAT LEADER Resolution of Confidence Sent to Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

MOST SPLENDID FILM YET Photoplay of “Notre Dame de Paris” at Empress Tonight. Of those who have read Victor Hugo's celebrated romance, “Notre Dame de Paris,” there cannot be one who was not thrilled with its dramatic phases and with the pictures it presents of that epoch of French history when the Notre Dame cathedral of Paris stood as one of the most ancient and celebrated on_ the continent of Europe. In_ the photoplay at the Empress they will see all the celebrated char- acters that walk through Victor Hugo's romance, from Quasamido the Dwarf to the wily alchemist and necromancet who 1ooled the great cardinal, with the Old World background of the cathe- dral and the old part of Paris, now known as the Latin Quarter. This is the last night of the film, and the opportunity is one which no student of history ovr litera- ture can afford to miss. WHERE iT IS WARM Prince Rupert Weather Really Delightful by Contrast.

It follows somewhat on the lines of the Irish home rule bill, and was introduced by Mr. William Henry Cowan, the mem- ber from East Aberdeenshire. Now that Ireland is in a fair way to receive self-government, the Scottish Liberal members have taken up more seriously the question of securing home rule for their country. A committee of three members of the house drafted a bill, which was read a second time today. It not thought likely that it will go very far this session, but the Scottish Liberals are determined to show, if they cam, that the movement is a live one. As described by Mr. Cowan, the bill represents a further install- ment of the policy of devolution initiated by the government.

Alfonso is then said to have donned the uniform of a German officer,, he being hon- orary colonel of one of the Kais- er’s regiments. “Sire,” the Kaiser ,is quoted as remarking, “if you were real- ly a colonel of mine I should have you placed under arrest.” “Why?” Alfonso aback.
