Nov. 10.—It was an- nounced late today that the «man registered as Maurice S uart’ who committed suicide on Monday at the Hotel Astor, has been identified as Lord Sholto Douglas, brother of the Marquis of Queensbury. The Marquis of Queensbury who is in Chicago today emphatically denied that the man who com- mitted suicide at the Astor Hotel is his brother. He says he is in the far west, and had a letter from him only two days ago.

Association Meets Wednesday. Several members of the Conserva- tive Association have drawn the News’ attention to the fact that un- due honor was given them in yester- day’s report of the fistic argument between two well known local Con- servatives. The honor was due to the ConCservative Club, not the Con- servative Association. The members of the Conservative Association, which is the recognized Conservative body in Prince Rupert, do not officially recognize the Con- servatives Club, though some leading CoCnservatives are apparently mem- bers of both groups. In regretting the confusion of titles in yesterday's report, the Daily News mentions that next Wednesday will be held the meeting of the Con- servative Association proper. It is understood that the Conservative Club met last Wednesday with the association's meeting in view, for the purpose of nominating members of the executive, over which con- siderable difference of opinion exists between members of the bodies. rn Ladies’ Home Journal Patterns— over 2000 of 'em.—Wallace’s. tf yee ee i
