Hospital.Dear Miss Bliss :—As the time is now aj preaching when your connection with this In spital as Lady Superintendent will cease, the members of the Medical Board desire to express to you their unqualified satisfaction with the manner in which you have fulfilled your very important and arduous position.They cannot hut feel that in a great measure, the success and prosperity which the hospital has attained is due to the hearty, earnest, and efficient manner in which you took hold of your work, when the Hospital was opened, over a year ago- The entire work of furnishing and equipping the building, organizing a staff of nurses and servants, and in many other ways superintending the numerous details requiring to he attended to before the Hospital could be opened to the public, devolved upon you and were fu appreciated by this Board.The high state of efficiency attained by your nursing staff during the comparatively short time you have been instructing them, does you the greatest credit as a practical nurse and instructor.We feel assured that though we are losing a faithful and efficient superintendent, your talents as a nurse and your kindness of heart will, wherever your lot may be cast, confer a boon to suffering humanity within the scope of your influence.We desire to offer yoe our most sincere and heartfelt wishes for your future happiness, welfare, and prosjierity.(Signed) F.J.Austin, Chairman.Norkkys Worthington.W.D.Smith, W.A.Farwell, Sec’y.Sherbrooke, Sept 13th, 1897.;ully The alternations which have been going on at the Court House for aome time past consequent to the appointment of Mr.de Lottinville, joiut^clerk t ) the Circuit Court, are now completed, and the new offices were entered this week.Owing to their being no available space for offices on the ground floor, it was found necessary to merge the quarters occupied by Miss Griffith into offices.The Hon.Mr.Duffy, minister :nn.“Ah! my friend, you do not know how-sore my heart is.” “Well, baba (father) what is the mat ter with you nowt” asked Flynn.“Well, you see,” said the old Turk “my son, whom you Know, is up at Kustchuk, and 1 have not seen him for so many months, and his mother is longing to hear something als>ut him.’’ “\Nhy don’t you get leave, and go to see him?” said the practical Irishman.“How can If’ replied the old man.Doese’nt the train come in and go away while I am at prayers/ Allah wills il that I should not see him.” And so the time continued to pass, the old man telling Flynn how his heart was weary to see his son.It happened one day that, as the train drew up at the sta tion, the old man was engaged at his de votions on his prayer carpet close to the line, anempty truck with the doorrun back had stopped just opposite where he was on his knees and forehead to the ground, and the Irishman came along.Seized by a sudden inspiration, he caught uj the old Turk, prayer carpet and all, and landed him in the truck just as the train moved off.Two days after the old man came back by the down train, his face beaming with pleasure.“Ah! my friend,” he said as he saw Flynn on the platform,“only for you I should never have seen my son.It must have been Allah who put it into your heart to throw me into the train.May he reward you for it!”—Harper's Hound Table.Guardians for Klondyke.A.Garwood HOUSE, SIGN AND FRESCO PAINTER, Beg- to inform the

Scotch lady, in a letter home, thus relates an interesting experience when journeying through the Karroo on Jubilee day:—“Oh, the weary journey from Cape Town through this dreadful Karroo It is fearful; tho most depressing thing one could imagine.Nothing but dry grass, stones, scrub, and bushes, with an occasional, farmhouse in the distance sometimes birds, looking lonely, or great flock of sheep, and once a dead ostrich on the lino side.It seemed to me t r dless, just like the sea.We drew up at < litary stations, where we changed engines (>r g >t fresh water.I think few on Jubilee uay covered so much country as we did, and few went along with us.1 saw only one thing cheerful the wh< day.It was this—half way through the Karroo the train stopped at a station so that we might have lunch.The guard came to tell us, snd we got out.“This is what we saw* on the station wallas we passed:—From Victoria, Buckingham palace.From my heart I thank my beloved people.May God bless them.For the moment we three solitary British children of the Queen stood in mute admiration of her thoughtfulness.Somehow it seemed as if she had sent this message into the wilderness for us alone.I felt the old home-sick lump in my throat, and could hardly keep back the tears.I wonder if it would please tho dear old Queen to know that from every lonely homestead, every station and Kaffir hut, there floated a flag in her honour?” This extract having been forwarded for her Majesty perusal, the Queen has intimated that she has read it “with much satisfaction.” Mr.J.K.Kerr, Q.C., and Mr Geo.E.Casey, M.1\, interviewed Hon.Clifford Sifton last week, and laid before him the proposal that a military colony should be established at Klondike, compose ! of men w ho should, whilst mining, prospecting and perf inning all the varied labors of a mining camp, be armed and drilled.They also asked if the Government would he willing to accept such body as a regiment under the Militia Act.A Klondyke at Home.GREAT DISCOVERY OK GOLD REPORTED FROM INDIAN HARBOR LAKE.Local prospectors have struck a new Klondyke at Indian Harbor Lake, five miles from Sherbrooke, N.S., and great excitement prevails.Mining men pronounce this find to be tho richest by far in Guysboro county and in consequence there is a great rush for areas.J.A.Mc-Callum, mining expert is on the ground and îs sanguine and enthusiastic over the find.—Truro N.S.Roman Headliqht.The Anchor-Ground of Religion.We know that there is righteousness and unrighteousness, as wo know that there is the beautiful and the ugly, the true and the false.This is a fundamental fact It is not brought to us by any external revelation ; it is not in the heaven above and brought down to us ; it is not across the sea and brought over to us; it is within the soul and heart of man— he knows it.Knowing this, ho may analyze, he may study the nature of the difference.He may conclude that we have inherited the belief from mr parents or that we have learned it by experience —we have seen that certain things produce misery, and certain other things produce happiness, and have concluded that things which produce misery are wrong, and things which produce happiness are right ; or he may regard it as an ultimate fact—he mpy believe that right is right whether it produces happiness or misery that the right produces happinessbecause it is right, not that it is right bee use it produces happiness.He may hold one theory or another theory.But, w hatever theory ho holds, he knows that there is a difference between the right and the wrong.If he does not, he belongs, as Professor Huxley says, to tho blind and the lame and the halt of humanity.This is tho anchor-ground of religion—we now that there is righteousness.It is the foundation on which everything else is built.—Lyman Abbott.thoigh fre*h failures frvsh d*y ; Though pain m rsistH, ami will not pa** away Till life it^ lf «hall C*W**— Taught by ihi« gleam of Death's keen searching

distinguished and prominent ladies as delegates.Tho programme for the great gathering of the foremost women of the wcrld, is rapidly assuming shape.Among the prominent women who will address the convention are; Miss Frances F.Willard, L.L.D., president of the Woman’s Union ; Lady Henry Somerset, vice-president, whose eloquence and power is far famed Miss Agnes T.Slack, tho energetic secretary and leader of the World’s Ju venile Post, Mrs.Sanderson, treasurer, as well as president of the Quebec Provincial Union.From the B.W.T.A.a large delegation is expected, the prominent among them are Mrs.and Miss Lile of London, England; Sister Lily one of the deaconesses of Hugh Price Hughes’s West London Mission; Mrs.Hughes of Manchester, England;and Mrs.Shaen of London, England, vice-presidentof the B.W.T.A., and a descendant of Thackeray, the famous novelist.A galaxy of talent is expected from the neighboring republic.The delegation from Australia will be one of the largest and most influential from distant parts.Japan, Finland, \ inerica, Egypt Ac.will be represented.It is expected that this will be tho largest and most representative gathering of women ever held in America.Toronto is sparing no pains to fittingly welcome the distinguished guests from all parts of the globe who shall honor and bless the city in their deliberations and councels.“The second girl is too stuck up to associate with the cook.” “How about the co >k ?“The cook says there is no absurd pride about her ; if there was she wouldn’t I be working for us.” The Rev.Morgan Wood, the new pas tor of Bond Street Congregational Church in preaching a sermon specially for men on Sunday night last, said that the church was being kept altogether too much in the hands of tho women.Tho men did not take enough interest in it.Ho exhorted his male hearers to take a greater interest in Christianity, and thereby in troduce the rugged, heroic characteristics of manhood into religion.During the evening service tho Rev.Mr.Wood requested the ushers to take up tho collection, and in so doing made some remarks that sounded rather peculiar to a Toronto congregation.“ The ushers will now pass amongst you,” he said, “and take up tho collection.I get awfully tired of making that announcement every Sunday, friends.I hate to ask you for money, but if everybody here would get into the habit of dropping his money into a box at the door there would be no occasion for this.But there is one thing I want to say.Everybody here ought to put at least five cents on the plate.Ushers,” he continued, addressing himself to the church officers, “ I want to say something to you.Watch the people who don’t put any collection on the plate.Watch them look grsxl and hard at them, shame them into it, and if they don’t give they’ll not come again, or if they do, they’ll bring their money with them next time.” Undoubtedly the Best.Gentlemen—I wish to say that Dr.Fowler’s extract of Wild Strawberry has proved a wondfcrful remedy in my family.We would not lx?without it for twice its price.I say it is the best (not merely one of the best—but the best) medicine ever brought before tho public for summer complaint or diarrhœa, either in children or adults.John Underhill, Strathclair, Ont.License Commissioner.______________ ^ 2w7.The estimate of tho cost which was incurred by the Government in the Jubilee rejoicings amounts, it is said, to £80,000.ALL MEAN THE SAME THING You have probably beard some peopl *y, “I have such strange pains about my >ody that I don’t know w hat to make of

to account for it.If it stays too long in one place we begin to think it is the sign of some serious local trouble there.And we always fancy that trouble to bo the worst one wo over beard of or read about in the books.The writer has on his left eyelid a little encysted tumour, not half so big as a pea.It, has been there more than forty years and I have ceased long ago to take any notice of it.Yet once 1 suffered intense mental anxiety because various doctors told me it was lioiind to develop into a malignant cancer.I’d like to be in a condition to pay them back some time for all the mental suflering their errors caused me.\\ hat l want you to understand from this talk is that these shifting spots of pain spoken of do not mean as many distinct local diseases.You have seen a single thunder cloud in summer dart its electric streaks all over the sky ; and there is one ailment, which I will name presently, that has the power to imitate that operation in the body.First we will lend an ear to what Mr.Frank Windle has to say and then try to sum up tho subject in such a way, 1 hope, as to make it interesting and instructive.“In November of 1890,” he says, “I fell into a low weak state of health.I felt languid, tired and weary, having no energy.My appetite was good, and after what little 1 ate 1 had pain at tho chest and side.1 gradually got so weak that irçniktëtëHl 111111

medicine and got stronger and stronger the pain leaving me altogether.By taking an occasional dose when needed, I keep in good health.You can publish this statement as you like.(Signed), Frank Windle, Newhold, Chesterfield, April 1st 1897.“ Mr.Windle mentions having had pain in the chest, side, and around the heart.Probably, if he bad expected you and I would have taken an interest in the subject, he could have extended this short list and told us of pains, more or less fre juent and intense, in other parts of his body.For indigestion or dyspepsia (the disease ho suffered from) nearly always stirs up these scattered disturbances often making the sufferer think he is afflicted with not less than a dozen different kinds of complaints.This it does by first weakening, and then poisoning, the nerves.And as it takes but an instant for an electric flash to leap clear across the Heavens from east to west, so tho baneful influence created in the torpid and diseased stomach will sometimes send a thrill of pain from head to foot.Dyspepsia may make the sufferer fancy he has organic hoarttrouble as in Mr.Windle’s case ; organic kidney trouble, as in many instances ; local diseases of tho nerves of the brain ; organic ailments of the lungs and so on, when, as a matter of fact all these pains and disorders are merely results and symptoms of tho inflammation in the stomach and the general upset of the associated digestive machinery.When tho loaded and livid thunder cloud has shot away all its arrows and unburdened itself of its surplus water, the atmosphere clears and nature becomes balanced and serene.Kven so when Mother Seigel’s Syrup has sweetened and strengthened the stomach the seemingly unaccountably and alarming pains in various parts of the body die away and vanish and that wonderful arrangement the human system, works in harmony with itself as nature meant it should.For, as a mighty ship is controlled by a very small helm, so is that mightier construction called man operated to success or failure by his body a own management of what he eats and drinks.1 .*{ 1—WV11 i il#t on Ftr^et—IttJ Kxtniordinary advantages offered in order to close out

in sight in the re-construction of the educational system of the province is the fact that in any system of provincial education there are throe principal sections, namely, elementary schools, intermediate schools (whether called academies or collegiate institutes) and the institutions of higher learning or universities.Each in its place is important and a just balance should be preserved between their several interests, and it is to the interest of each that it should be so.So far as Protestant education in this province is concerned, we have no desire to see the universities weakened in any way, but it is plain to all that more aid is needed for the elementary and intermediate schools if the system is to be well balanced and if the universities are to be properly supplied.Ticket»»

the money with him and take the numbers of the bills.Mr.Presby took the numbers of the bills.Mr.Presby took the numbers and Mr.Scott witnessed the act.After the money was counted he asked Mr.Presby to place the money in the till again and Mr.Scott and himself witnessed him do so.The amount was $14.50 and consisted of two dollar bills, 015,492 and B 394,01712 *, one two dollar bill U 732,-752, two fives H.140,153 and B 127,111 and two twenty five cent pieces.Mr.Presby then left and almost immediately after the accused came in he, (the witness) and Mr.Scott, left.There vas no one in the store except the accused at that time.When he went out he only went as far as Darby’s fruit store so that the arrangements made previously might be carried out.They waited there until Mr.Presby got back, which was in about five minutes.No one went into the store while they were standing there.The first he saw in the store was a Mr.Fuller.When that gentleman came out he asked what he had bought and how much he had spent.He replied that he bought a bottle of shoe polish and paid twenty five cents for it.The next one he saw in the store was Mr.John Atto.When Mr.Atto came out he asked him what he had purchased and he said a pair of boots at $2.51).He paid for this with a five dollar bill.The next to go into the store was W.A.McCree, with whom he had made arrangements previously and had given him four dollars the numbers of which he had taken.lie told Mr.McCree to go in and make a purchase but to endeavor not to distant the till and make even money.When McCree caire out he said that he had purchased a pair of boots for $3.25.He paid for this with three of the dollars which he, (witness,) had given him, and with twenty-five cents out of his own pocket.He also made arrangements with Mr.J.A.Cameron, baggageman, to pur chase goods.He gave him four dollars with the same instructions as he bad given to Mr.McCree.He saw Mr.Cam eron after he came out of the store and he reported having spent three dollars in the store with three dollars of the four which he had given him.He, (witness,) kept as close a watch on the store as he possibly could, but he had made arrangi monts with Mr.Scott and Mr.E.M.Presby to watch also.He w'as in the neighborhood cf the store for a little over an hour.No one went into the store while he was watching excepting McCree, Atto, Cameron and Fuller.When he entered the store again the accused was in company with a Mr.Gen est, whom he understood was a friend of accused.Mr.Presby also accompanied him (the witness) into the store.Just a few minutes after his return Genest left the store and accused went out for a few minutes.As soon as accused went out he asked Mr.Presby to take the money out of the drawer and carry it into the b&CK room in Darby’s store.He went there also and left his store vacant.The money was counted in Darby’s and the amount was $22.25 He checked over the money as also did Mr.Presby.When ho found that some of the money was missing he went back to the store and waited for Chief of Police Davidson.Wrhen the Chief arrived he asked for the accused, and he informed him that he was in the back room.The Chief went in and was with the accused for about half an hour.He (the witness) was then called into the room and the Chief of Police informed him that the missing bill was not to be found on accused.He said, “I am glad of it, because I hoped Authier was not guilty.” When the Chief of Police left the room he explained to accused the steps that had been taken to find out who was taking the money and accused again denied having taken any of the money The Chief of Police returned a second time and he, (witness) left the room.Immediately afterwards Sergt.Bell was called in by the Chief and accused was taken into custody Cross-examin'd by Mr.Belanger, wit ness said that he swore out a warrant for accused’s arrest on Saturday evening.He did not make any mistake with regard to the number of the bill.The charge was for stealing $1 25 which was the amount short Saturday evening after he had checked the cash.On Saturday morning he asked change of a two dollar bill from accused and one of the bills he received was one which he had been looking for.He was owing accused $12 for wages the night he was arrested, as ho he was paid every two weeks.The Chief of Police had said that the missing bill was not found on Authier, but a mistake had l»een made in the number as the bill B.39,401 712* was found on accused and that was one of the missing bills.After a good deal of cross firing between th© Counsels as regards bail the Magistrate released accused on a personal recognisance of $500 and two sureties of $250 each to appear on Thursday morning.The case of Authier was again before On being cro*s-eiafcniied by Mr.Belanger, Mr Martin d^s>r>ed that on the Saturday morning i m**n by the name of Cole came into the store and asked him if he cjuld give him American money for a five dollar bill.He had not the full amount, but the accused gave him an American bill, and he afterwards gave him back the amount he had given him in Canadian money.It was correct that when the accused fir»>t entered his services that he told him, witness, that he had an account at the bank.He, witness, advist-d him to dejs^it all his earnings with the exception of what he might require for loose cash, and if at any time he was short of money lietween pay days that he would advance him the money.It was not correct that the accused was at li)>erty to take money without his consent.He remembered one time that there was two dollars charged to accused on the blotter.Accused never mentioned to him about leaving money carelessly around.The only time he said anything was one t:me when he was making change to a customer he left the money on tht table.Mr.Belang r then proceeded to deal with the witness’ business affairs, but Mr.Broderick objected and the Magistrate stated that the private affairs of the wit ness had nothing to do with the charge.The evidence was l>eirig to subst mtiate the charge of theft and the Counsel for the defence would have to cunfine his question to that alone.Cross-examination continued—He drew up a document and gave it to accused setting forth that (the accused) was receiving 810 a week, so that he could show to Ins friends that he was getting more than $6 a week.This was done more in a joke and he had no other reason for giving this statement.He took it back from accused sometime after and destroyed it.On Saturday morning he had a conversation with accused and he mentioned that he thought his business should come between four and five hundred dollars a month in cash and credit sales.Re-examined by Mr.Wells He was owing accused $12 on Saturday for two weeks wages, and no mention w hs made that he had taken any money in advance.He had made the same arrangements on Thursday and Friday evening as he had done on Saturday, and wbh the same results, that accused had taken one dollar each evening.Witness then related how on these two nights in question he had taken the numbers of the bills and got some of his friends to purchase goods as was done on Saturday.On Saturday morning he asked accused if he could give him two one dollar mils for a two, and accused handed him one of the bills that he had the number of and mhsed on Friday evening.By Mr.Belanger—There was no one with him when lie took the numbers of the bills on Thursday, but a Mr.Aiken-head was present when he counted the money.Mr.E.M.Presby was with him on Friday evening.Chief of Police Davidson deposed in answer to Mr.Wells, that on Friday afternoon he was told that the prisoner it the bar had been taking money that lid not belong to him, and also the method that was being gone about to find him out.He was told they were going to continue it and for that purpose he w ent round to Darby’s store to be convenient it he was required.He was informed on Friday evening that the money had been counted and that there was one dollar short Nothing further was done that evening,but he was informed that marking of the money and taking a note of the ales would be continued on Saturday evening.At about a quarter to seven o’clock on that evening he went again to Darby’s store and after waiting for some little time E.M.Presby brought in the money from the till.The money was counted and checked from a card on which was the number of the bills ; when it was found that there was another dollar missing.He (the witness) took the card and took the number of what hu supposed was the missing bill.Ho then went into Mr.Martin s stare and found the accused in the back room.He searched the prisoner and found a number f bills some silver and a revolver.He examined all the bills but did not find tha missing bill, (’ 307.939, and he called in Mr.Martin and told him so.On thinking the matter over he said “If you have made any mistake Authier, now is the time to correct it.’ Or words to that effect.He replied, “Oh, no, Mr Davidson, I have made no mistake.4’ He (the itness) then made a search in the drawers and desk and in the books and in the vicinity where he had found the prisoner when he entered and he saw nothing of the bill in question.He then repeated to the pr soner what he had said before, that Mr Martin might correct any mistake, but he igain answered he had nothing to correct.He then told the prisoner about the missing money.He then thought he would send the prisoner to his office as there was quite acrowd at the door and he thought they would leave and that he would give the store a thorough search for the d *ll«r.He telephoned Sergt.Bell to come to the store.When Bell arrived he (the chief) wat in the back room with the prisoner, and when Sergt.Bell appeared he again epeated to the prisoner that if he had anything to correct now was his opportunity, but he received the same answer.\ftor prisoner was taken to the office he went with Mr.Martin and had his complaint taken before a magistrate.Some short time after when he r-turned to the store for the purpose of hiving a thorough svrrch made Mr.McCree came in and returned the bill marked 397,939.The question th°n arose that there had been a dollar missing and it was found to be the bill marked B 394,017,12* He then took the money which he had taken from the prisoner and found that bill amongst the bills.It had been in his possession since it was taken from the accused.When the money was counted on Saturday there was a deficiency of $1.25.The error that he had made in the first place arose through the fact that McCree had not returned one of the bills given to him.When he told the prisoner that there was a dollar missing he said that he did not know anything about it.He made no mention of having taken the money from the till and having charged himself with it.Winn he mentioned the occurrence of Thursday and Friday evening prisoner stated that he sometimes t»H»k money from his own pocket to make change.When he could not find the missing bill he asked accused for a statement of the sales during the evening and he said that one Cameron had spent so much, one McCree, one Atto, and one by the name of Fuller.He had rmt that statement with him and could not remember the exact amount.thought the amount taken in by Presby into Darby’s store was $22 2*>.He faw that amount count d and checked.The bill that be t*H»k from the prisoner was one of th© bills that was left in the till to make change.The case Was adjourned until this after- 8 Iba.Sweet

Let me say once more what has been "my pleasure to say before, that if to-day the last of the shackles—if T may use such a harsh word as shackles—the last of the shackles which still remind us of the colonial period has fallen off from our limbs.We are free to-day, and we are a nation (Renewed cheering).It was my privilege to be on the continent when the news was flashed over the wires that the treaties had been denounced by England.If l may be privileged on this occasion to say one word of my own personal self, I would say that for many and many years it has been my hope that I would not close my eyes, that I would not sink into the grave, before l had seen Canada lifted up to the state of a nation.(Cheers.) Well, I may die, for this day I have seen.I was in Paris, in the land of my ancestors when the telegraph wires flashed the news that England had denounced the treaties which she had maintained for twenty years and more with Germany and Belgium.What was Canada before that day ?On the continent of Europe, what was it—in France, in Germany, and every where else ?Simply a name, simply blotch on the map, and nothing more.But when the day carne that at the instance of Canada, England, a great nation, lenounced her treaties with Germany and Belgium and signified to the German zollverein and to the Belgian kingdom that twelve months hence those treaties would cease, on that day I felt a proud citizen, because on that day my dreams were realized and Canada became a factor irnong the nations of tire earth.Cheers.) Let mo say what is equally true, that though we are a nation we still form part of the great British Empire.(Renewed cheering.) Let me say under this, I speak not my sentiments alone but the sentiments of you all, that this last concession of colonial liberty has been in the heart of every one of us followed by a strengthening of the bond of Imperial unity.We are a colony.We are a nation.We have this proud privilege that a colony as we are, we have obtained liberty after liberty without quarrelling with the Motherland, but maintaining her respect and affection.Severe Headache Cured.Dear Sirs—Being troubled with severe headache l was advised by a friend to try Laxa Liver Pills.I oidy used half a bottle and have not since suffered from the complaint.They seem to be a perfect cure.” 2w7 “What is apathy ?” “It is a strange and dangerous condition that a man sometimes falls into—a condition in which he has even been known to lend his bicycle.” Providence Thanked.It is with pleasure that I recommend B.B.B.for the cure of indigestion and impure blood.I had tried many medicines but received no benefit until, I thank Providence, I was advised to use B.B.B., and it was with perfect success.Mrs.Wm.Locke, Oshawa, Ont.Little Bob.“Aw, I could walk the rope just as well as the man in the circus, if it wasn’t for one thing !” Little Willie.“What is that?” Little Bob.“Pd fall off.”—Harper*t Bazar.Just As a Test.dejected on hus- “Sometimes I think,” said a man, “that thcr orter be a tax bands.” “What for ?” asked his friend.“Pd just like to see,” said the man of the first part, “whether she would pay it as willingly as she does on the pug dog.” The firm of G.Bresse A Co., shoe manufacturers, have assigned.The liabililks are said to amount to $80,000.relations with the united states.The prestige the American Republic derived from the war of independence, and from the fact that they have organized a thoroughly democratic government at a une when democratic governments were unknown, gave it an impetus which made its population increase by leaps and Kiunds from decade to decade.It was the boast of the American people at that iine that the star of liberty had risen in he west.If it was a proud and just boast, may I not claim as a Canadian that another star of liberty has also arisen in the west, and that whatever the Ameri-ans can claim for themselves we Canadians can claim as well as they.(Cheers.) 'hough they are a proud and wealthy >eople, of which I proclaim myself an admirer, they may have made some mistakes, and we would not be just to ourselves if wo did not avoid those mistakes.There is more.The American Republic to-day has no more lands to offer to the European tiller of the soil.She can no longer satisfy that hunger for land which has been characteristic af the human race so far that our gaze can plunge back into Amesican history.But if the American nation has no more lands to offer to the emigrants, we have on the Canadian border countless millions of the best and most fertile soil to offer not only to European emigrants but to American emigrants as well.(Cheers.) For many and many a year and generation the American Republic has taken from us—I will not say the best—but some of the best blood and sinew and muscle of Canadians.I think the day will n it be far distant when this state of things can be reversed, and when wo can have on our soil some of the best of the blood and muscles and sinews of the American nation.(Laughter and applause.) I foresee the day, which will not be far «listant, when American immi.grants will come into our Northwest to till our soil.Then they will see, what, they perhaps do not realize at this present time, that there is just as much liberty under monarchial institutions as under Republican institutions (Applause.) They will find that under the sceptre of Queen Victoria there may bo just as much of happiness as under the benevolent rule of President McKinley, though I am sure he is one of the best men who ever ruled over that nation.We will teach them to sing “God Save the Queen”—(cheers— and to become Canadian citizens, as 1 hope they will.about the tariff.If there is to be in Canada a period of industrial activity and commercial development, I take it that its essential condition is that there shall be stability and permancy of the tariff.1 take it that every man, who invests his money in new ventures can contemplate with safety that the conditions under which he goes into business shall be permanent, and that the calculations which he makes shall not be shattered by any trriff changes (Applause.) Tariff revolutions, I will say more, tariff reform, is always more or less dangerous.1 do not want any tinkering ; I do not say that it should be permanent for all time or that when new conditions have arisen that it must be that there must not be a reform of the tariff.When the present administration came iirto office we were pledged to reform the tariff.We found that the condition of the people required there should be an alleviation of the burden lying upon them.We applied ourselves to the task, but at that same time we were fully cognizant.e« had a revolution were might perhape have werrial ortaia in this ooun-a state of things we would not t, but we endeavored to give elief te the people, while at the le impairing no industry in this ^ and 1 believe our efforts have ) tolerably successful.THE ST.LAWRENCE ROUTE.I say that the St.Lawrence is the great highway for the trade of Europe and America.(Applause.) All the products which are grown, not only in Ontario, Quebec and Manitolia, but in the States of Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mi nnesota and Dakota, must some time or other find their way to Europe over the St.Lawrence route.(C’heers ) At present, sir, our enterprising neighbors carry not only their own prr»duets to Europe, but at least ‘.M) j>er centjof ours.For my part Mr.President, gentlemen (tf the Montreal Board of Trade,fellow citizens of Montreal Canadians all, I will not be satisfied until the day comes when we shall carry not only the whole of our own products but, î*0 per cent, of American products as well, over our Canadian route.(Renewed cheering.) Sir, the Americons have made gigantic efforts in the way of providing terminal facilities within their own lines, they have made tremendous efforts in the ports of New’ York and Boston to capture our own trade, and they have succeeded in capturing it.Well, I want to enter into competition with them and so cheapen the cost of "transportation by providing terminal facilities in Montreal and elsewhere that we shall re-capture at least what we have lost.(Loud Applause.) Someday or other I hope it will be my privilege to expose these views of mine to an American audience, and I shall then appeal to their intelligence ami business acumen on this ground, that it is useless to fight against the laws of nature.Nature has made the St.Lawrence the great outlet for the trade of this continent, and our neighbors as well as ourselves, will have to submit to the laws of nature.To accomplish the object I have in view, each of us must do his share.You cannot expect the Government to do everything.The people of Montreal must do their share as well.(Hear, hear ) Let me say one word more.You have stated, sir, in your address, that we shall have harbor improvements and every facility necessary to bring the trade to this port.The Canadian Government has undertaken to deepen our canals.We have undertaken to enlarge the canals within two years in order to bring the trade of the great lakes, not only the trade of Fort William, but from Duluth as well, to the port of Montreal, which would be the point of junction between the trade of the ocean and the trade of the great lakes.(Hear, hear.) Nature has made the port of Montreal the point of distribution and the natural harbor of this continent.(Hear, hear.) In conclusion ho said : 4 I thought I was a patriotic when I left Canada, but 1 felt myself a hundredfold more patriotic when 1 came back.Those countries of Europe do not compare with ours.They have neither our extent nor our resources.Who, gentlemen, would not love this land of our birth, this land of our adoption ?In conclusion, let me say that we should hero and now resolve, every one of us, never to listen to the voice of prejudice or passion, but upon every occasion, in private life and in public, each one should determine to contribute his quota, his mite, however humble, to the aggrandizement and glory of our common country.(Loud and prolonged cheering.) Mr.President, in conclusion I have just one word to say to you, and it is by far the most agreeable of all.Let me tender to you, sir, and to the gentlemen of the Board of Trade, let.me tender to you, my fellow-citizens of Montreal, without any exception, whether you be my political friends or my political opponents, the heartfelt gratitude of a man w ho above all things i* a Canadian, who believes in this country and who predicts for her the greatest of futures (Loud cheers.) ie exnibitffm at Ht.John, N.B., was opened by Sir Wilfred Laurier last week.After complimenting the management on the success of the exhibition referred to the Ht.John River as the rival of the Hudson and second only to the magnifi cent and unique Ht.Lawrence.He was sorry that such a great country as New Brunswick had not retained its population and while he felt that the president of the Exhibition Association and himself could not see eye to eye as to the causes of the decrease, he was positive that all present, conservatives and liberals, were agreed as to the necessity for a remedy, and in holding that every child born in Canada should give his life labor to his native country.When he was a boy he had seen a coin from the maritime provinces, he could not say it was a New Brunswick coin, that bore the motto “Ships and Free Trade.” Of free trade he would say nothing to-day (Laughter.) But there could be no better place than St.John in which to talk about ships.Thanks to the energy of the people of St.John, there had been revival of business, and a successful beginning made in taking away from American ports the Canadian trade which had been going that way to Europe.So far as the government were concerned they would not rest until all the Canadian trade had been transferred from Ameri can ports to Halifax and St.John and Montreal, and with it a large portion of the American trans-Atlantic trade as well Our line of communication was shorter than theirs and the Americans as keen business men would, he felt, when the case was stated to them, give the pre ference to the quickest and best route.iwinegan Falls Power Sold.Water Canadian Forest Industries.According to the last Dominion census industries dependent directly upon the forest, exclusive of logging and the wood pulp industries, besides some minor in dustries, such as picture-frame making, had a capital invested in land, machinery and buildings of $18,073,000, employed 395,000 people directly, with a wage roll of $11,810,000, and a yearly output cf the value of $45,643,471.Besides the people directly employed in these indus tries a very large number are engaged in the woods hauling freight, and in other ways derive their living wholly or in part from forest industries.Kidney Trouble Cured.WELL KNOWN HOTEL-KEEPER RELATES HIS EXPERIENCE.SUFFERED GREATLY FROM TROUBLE AND INDH!ESTION— TORED FOR A LONG TIME GETTING ANY RSI LIEF* KH NE Y HE DOC-WITHOUT For Over Fifty Years Mrs.Winslow’s Soothing Syrup has been used by millions of mothers for their children while teething.If disturbed at night and broken of your rest by a sick child suffering and crying writh pain of Cutting Teeth send at once and get a bottle of “Mrs.Winslow’s Soothing Syrup” for Children Teething.It will relieve the poor little sufferer immediately.Depend upon it, mothers there is no, mistake about it.It cures Diarrhcea, regulates the Stomach and Bowels, cures Wind Colic, soften the gums, reduces Inflammation and gives tone and energy to the whole system.“Mrs.Winslow’s Soothing Syrup” for children teething is pleasant to the taste and isthe prescription of one of the oldest and best female physician and nurses in the United States.Prices twenty-five Those Worrying Piles.Dr.Agnew’s Oint-coinfvirt.Applied One application of ment will give you every night for three to six nights and a cure is effected in the most stubborn cases of Blind.Bleeding or Itching Piles.Dr.Agnew’s Ointment cures eczema and all itching and burning skin diseases.It acts like magic.35 eents.Sold by W.H.Griffith.Dr.Agnew’s Liver Pills for sick headache and liver ills, 20 cents a vial.Pain In The Back.Mr.M.P.Halpin, Brockvillc, Ont., makes a statement as follows : “For two years I suffered from kidney trouble, causing severe pain across my back, dizziness, headache, sleeplessness, etc.I had often to lean on the counter when serving a customer, so intense was the pain in my back.On taking Doan’s Kidney Pills I improved from the very first and now-after using throe boxes am all right ;

Dr.\\ illiams Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the disease.They renew and build np the blood, and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the system.Avoid imitations by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed in a wrapper bearing the full trade mark.Dr.Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.The Shawinegan Falls water power, second only to Niagara in extent and capacity was sold by the Provincial Government last week in the Crown Lands Department.The conditions were onerous, requiring the expenditure of an extremely large amount of money ; $2,000,000 is to be spent within eighteen months in the erec-tion of buildings, and on plant and development of water power, and the sum of $4,000,000 in all, is to be expended within two years and a half in these and other improvements.The privileges were knocked down to Mr.David Russell, St.John, for $50,100 It is understood that Mr.Russell re presented the powerful Canadian-Ameri can syndicate, which recently applied for Dominion charter, as the Canadian Cal cium Carbide Company, Ltd., and that this company is to expend a larger amount than the conditions of sale call for, in the plant and improvements which are neces sary to develop to their fullest extent the enormous power of the falls Competent engineers have estimated this capacity as equivalent to 500,000 horse-power, the greater part of which the new company anticipate as necessary for their require ments.etil wny « Summer Time Table.Ob aod after Monoar.June 2Sth 1897.iraina after Monday, June 28th will run aa follows : LEAVING SHERBROOKE : EXPRlfclfl T.aare Sherbrooke 7.1Ü a.m.Arriv# Dudawell Jet.8.15 a.m.Leria 1.00 p.m.What To Take To Klondike.SUPPLIES FOR ONE MAN FOR ONE YEAR.8 sacks flour (50 lbs.each.) 150 lbs.bacon.150 lbs.split pease.100 lbs.beans.25 lb«.evaporated apples.25 lbs.evaporated peaches.25 lbs.apricots.25 lbs.butter.100 lbs.granulated sugar, li doz.condensed milk.15 lbs.coffee.10 lbs, tea.1 lb.pepper.10 lbs.salt.8 lbs.baking powder.40 lbs.rolled oats.2 doz.yeast cakes.A doz.4 oz.beef extract.5 bars castile soap.6 bars tar soap.1 tin matches.1 gal.vinegar.1 box candles.25 lbs.evaporated potatoes.25 lbs.rice.25 canvas sacks.1 wash-basin.1 medicine-chest.1 rubber sheet.1 set pack-straps.1 pick.1 handle.1 drift-pick.1 handle.1 shovel.1 gold-pan.1 axe.1 whip'saw.1 band-saw.1 jack-plane.1 brace.4|bits, assorted, 3-16 to 1 in.1 8-iu mill file.1 6-in mill file.1 broad hatchet.1 2-qt.galvanized coffee-pot.1 fry-pan.IJpackage rivets.1 draw-knife.3 covered pails, 4, 6, 8, qt.granite.1 pie-plate.1 knife and fork.1 granite cup.1 each tea and table spoon.1 14-in granite spoon.1 tape measure.1 14-in.chisel.10 Fhs.oakum.10 lbs.pitch.5 lbs.20d.nails.5 lbs.lOd.nails.6 lbs.6d.nails.200 feet 5-8-in.rope.1 single block.1 solder outfit.1 14-qt.galvanized pail.1 granite saucepan.3 lbs.candle-wick.1 compass.1 candlestick.6 towels.1 axe-handle.1 axe-stone.1 emery stone.1 sheet-iron stove.Of course not every miner takes all this;

brought a good attendance and a good exhibit, al though the display of fruit was necessarily somewhat limited this year.In flowers and vegetables there was great profusion and it is doubtful if the samples shown hero in these two departments can be ex celled anywhere.Some odd designs in flowers were an Eiffel tower, a carriage trolley car, a fire place before which stood an old arm-chair, etc.The judges on fruit were A.Johnson East Earn ham ; John Ford, Dunham.On vegetables the judges were E.Tundry and C.C.Cleveland, of St.Armand East.Flowers were judged by Mrs.O.Anderson, Mrs.Beattie,

a Lady's Troubles.Sunday Aug.15th was a lovely morning and arrangements were made for a large numlier of the party to attend church at the Garrison Chapel.In due time therefore we found ourselves at the above edifice.It is not a very elaborate structure from an exterior point of view.Before we bad been in waiting many minutes the long columns of red coat* began toanive, headed by the Berks Baud.Civilians are not allowed to enter until the military are all in and seated.The d>K>rs are then throw n open and the publie are permitted t«> enter.On this occasion, however, everyone was comfortably seated although at times this is not always the case, on account of the many civilians who attend The service was Church of England.The sermon was brief and to the point not lasting over ten miutes.The music was splendid.In addition to a large pipe organ sueh as is seen m ordinary churches there was an orchestra of some fifteen pieces eom|M>Kod of members of the military hand.The music produced by this strong combination of talent can be better imagined than do scribed.The services were concluded hv the singing of “God Save the tthieen, which was done with a will.After ehurch we were interested spectators in witnessing the men form up and march back to their quarters, which was really a fine si0ht.Shortly afterwards the usual noon-ilav cannon boomed from the citadel and reminded us that it was time to replenish the inner man and we wended our steps in the direction of the hotel.A short rest after dinner and we again started out to see the sights.Our first point of interest was the l nited States warship “Indiana which was in the dry dock at Halifax at that time.Having boarded a street car we were soon landed close to this beautiful ship, not withstand ing this it was upwards of an hours before we were able to get on board as il seemed as if the whole population of the city was trying to get on board of the ship at the same time.Suffice it to say, we went through this man-of-war and found it a model of modern, workmanship and the officers a very courteous and attentive lot of men, who did all in their power to accomodate the large crowds in seeing the internal parts of the ship.Due of our party got a shot at the ship before leav ing the yard, not with a gun hut w ith a camera that he had taken with him for that purpose.On Sunday evening we attended the Wesleyan Methodist Church and heard an excellent sermon from tin* Rev.Mr.Vance, who is well known to some of our readers, as a prominent writer in the Canadian Magazines.We met iV r.N ance after the service and found him a very genial gentleman.Monda} morning we were all up bright land early as we had to leave for Cape Breton at 7.20 Intercolonial time.On irriving at the station we fourni our two puluian ears in waiting for us and everything in readiness for a start.I hey were on the rear of the train.As we were about to start an old Indian woman, not knowing that they were private cars, piietly got on to the rear car.She carried in her arms a cur dog and also a large basket.When she got into our “Dalhousie she seemed to catch the idea that she hail made a mistake and tried to get off but some of the gentlemen politely informed her that the ear she was looking for was just ahead and that she could go through.A good deal of merriment was caused among the ladies in the parlor car ahead when a worthy bachelor of the party entered with the Indian woman, who w as old enough to be his mother, and announced her as his bride.I be squaw took it in good part and did not resent the fun that was raised at her expense.We arrived in Truro about an hour and a half after leaving Halifax, where a couple of very pleasant hours were spent.I he Board of Trade had kindly extended an invitation to the party to visit and enjoy th a M the e »iiT In the ev ch ared up and throng the people of Sydney the ste cess,'’ was placed at the disj party, for an excursion down the Sydney to tin* coaling Mat ions and tli to Sydney and return.The coaling tions are re nil y a grand sight as we saw them that night lighted up by a large numlHT of are lights.These stations are run by the Federal Government and are said to la* the largest on the Atlantic coast.North Sydney is far superior to Sydney from a commercial point of view .We left Sydney on the morning of the 18th by the steamer Mario».At six o'clock we proceeded to North Sydney, thence through the Bay out into the At lantic for some distance to make a turn around a point of land that separated Sydney Bay from the Bras d or Lakes.We had a very pleasant day, tin* only inconvenience suffered, being that tin* tables were not sufficient to accomodate the whole |»arty at once.The scenery through these lakes is something grand.The small towns and villages all along the banks show signs of thrift.There are a number of private summer residences that belong to wealthy people.Among the finest of these is tin* beautiful property of Brof.Alexander Bell of telephone fame At one place on the route we touched at a little hamlet where there was a coal mine in operation.Here we saw tlie people running dow n small cars of coal containing about one ton from the mines, w ith a diminutive locomotive.This was the nearest we came to the mines, though in several other places wo passed in close proximity to where mining was being done.The price of coal hero is from $1.80 to $2.50 a ton.We arrived at (band Narrows about 3 p.m., where wo passed through a draw bridge, which is the entrance to a large lake or inland sea, as it might well be described.It is about 40 miles across and while going through, we got the benefit of a very still' breeze that made some of our party a little sick though it didu t last long.About 0 p.m.we came to what is called St.Peters Canal, which connects those lakes with the broad Atlantic.It took us some time pass through this canal although t he distance is only about two miles, yet there is such a difference in the height of the two bodies of water that we had to be let through in locks.\VTe arrived at Mulgrave abolit two hours later, and were met at the wharf by the landlord of the hotel, who assured us that he had rooms for the entire party.This assurance somewhat encouraged us as wo had been told that we would find it difficult to get hotel accomodations at this place, and so it proved for when we got to the hotel we found that fully one half of the rooms that he had provided were in private hous s, that were from a few yards to a half mile from the hotel.Although a little inconvenience was felt the accomodation was not had and with few exceptions comfortable rooms were secured.(7’ be concluded uc.' l u'eclt.)

Physicians were utterly perplexed and unable to cure the lady ! In a time of gloom and despondency the magic virtues Paine's Celery Compound bring joy and new life ! These are the leading facts in the following statement made by Mrs G.SLone, of Kganville, Ont.“For more than twelve years I was afflicted with kidney, stomach and female troubles and had been attended by five doctors, and tried medicine after medicine without any good results.“My suffering a year ago from the kidneys and stomach were dreadful.I was in such a state that I thought I could not live, and concluded there was no use try ing other medicines.“I was advised, however to try Paine’s Celery Compound and finally decided to give it a trial.Before 1 had finished the first bottle I had improved very much and after the use of a few more bottles 1 had not been so well for long years and am now altogether a differ ent person.The use of Paine s Celery Compound also banished my nervousness.I can therefore recommend Paine’s Celery Compound to anyone suffering from kid ncy, stomach and female troubles.Cuban Insurgents Bombard t Spanish Hospital.Futher official details of the capture of the Victoria de las Tunas, province of Santiago de Cub, say that the insur gents, after capturing the town, killed with the machet forty guerillas for hav ing made a stubborn resistance to the enemy.It is explained that the Spanish hoisted the Red Cross flag over the hs pital of Victoria de las Tunas, and that the insurgent», mistaking it for a Parlia ment flag, sent an officer in that direction But in spite of this, the Spaniards claimed the insurgent commander, General Calix-to Garcia, did not replace the flag or the hospital and bombarded the building, killing or wounding fifty-six men.The latest advices from Spanish sources say the insurgents lost over 200 killed during the fighting about Victoria de las Tunas e scenery in this model town.Me ere met qt the station by the Mayor and others, and having entered the teams m waiting, we were driven around the own.The drive was much enjoyed, ’he park in this place is a vi ry pictur-sqite spot.On visiting all the places of interest we again boarded the train, not orgetting to give three rousing cheers for the people of Truro.Kesumiiig our ourney we had dinner at New Glasgow.The country through this part i*t Nova

across tlie * < f ( anse to Poin* ’upper.One of our party, who will be emembeml for bis wit made the remark that it was the first time that he had been »ut of sight of land on the cars.We were soon speeding away toward Sydney through a portion of ('ape Breton Island.We arrived at Sydney about λ p.in.and iftei supper were soon made comfortable it the Sydney and Caliot Hotels.The accomodations here wore very good at both hotels.The next morning it was raining quite hard, which was the first disagreeable weather experienced on the trip.However, as Sydney is the town where the court sits in Cape Breton, and it was court time, some of the party went to the court in the morning, but as the proceedings were not of a very interesting nature we decided p » hold a court of our >wn, and a criminal court at that.We had plenty of talent in the company, there being no less than four attorneys at law, namely, Messrs Mclsaac, Bedard, Logan, M.P., and (,'harbonnel and Hon.Geo.Murray, Bremier of Nova Scotia, who met us at this point.After some legal con saltation it was decided to bring charges against the Bresident of the Association, for misconduct in his official capac ity, and in due time the charges were made out in a very formal manner and the President was placed under arrest .The court convened in the large park r of the Sydney hotel, the Premier act ing as Chief Justice.Associated with him were Mr.W.T Stenson M.P., Mr.E.R.Smith and Mr.W K.Jones.The jury was composed of the married ladies of the party.Mrs.J.M.Lyons acting as leader of the jury.There was a

Remember the Hospital.Sherbrooke Sept 2drd.1807.Dhar Sir—The season has once more arrived when careful house-keepers make up their supply of dainties for the coming winter, and spicy and fragrant odors of pickling.I>ast autumn the ladies of this city and the surrounding country ra-sponded most generously to an appeal made to them on behalf of the Protes tant Hospital in this respect Will they

Council and out of it, was entered upon Monday afternoon.The water question has been the source of many a set to by our City Fathers, hut now all personal feeling has been set aside and the true value of the works will he decided upon by three leading gentlemen in their profession in Canada.Both the Company aud the Conned have decided to stand by t.h*:ir decision, whether it comes up to their estimate or not.The City Council have had their say, hut the final decision is with the people who are really the interested parties.It is them that will give a yea or nay to the award, hut there is little doubt but what they will abide by the judgment of such competent gentlemen.The company and the city met each other in the old battlefield, but instead of supposition being the accoutrements of war it was bare, solid facts.The judges knew when a point was being driven home, and at the same time saw that both parries received the same treatment.Perhaps on account of the fact that tht legal talent had the matter in hand, was the reason that so very few were in atten dance during the proceedings.The three judges, Messrs Keating, of Toronto, McConnell of Montreal an< Kennedy of Owen Sound, arrived in the city, over the C.P.U.on Monday at one o’clock, and at a few minutes after tw< o’clock were ready to begin work.The Gas & Water Co., wore represented by Messrs A.S.Hurd.H.I).Lawrence, C.W.Cate and E.F.Waterhouse, the secretary of the Company.Mr.H.B.Brown city attorney, looked after the interests of the city, and associated with him was Councillor McManamy, Chief Davidson, Mr.Beaudry, Montreal, and C.Baillergé, supt.of the Quebec water works.Mr.E.C.Gatien took the official note of the proceedings.Mr.Lawrence said that without any preliminary remarks they would go on with their evidence and product it as fast as possible.He then fyled the bond be tween the city and the company with regard to the arbitration proceedings, and also a number of resolutions, etc., bearing on the question relating to the same.Hi said that they had two witnesses wh< wished to get away that afternoon, and he would call them first.The first was Dr.Wyatt Johnston, Montreal, who on being sworn said that he was a physician, and also did a good deal of expert work in sanitary question.He was asked twice by the City Council of Sherbrooke t make a report upon the water supplied by the Sherbrooke Gas & Water Cc.He took communication of his report made in 180.*), (which has already ap peared in these columns).That report embodied his views on the water.The Gas and Water Company had nothing t< do with him when he made that report.He had been in Montreal for ten years.There was not much difference between the water supplied there and Sherbrooke from a sanitary point of view.Sher brooke water would probably bo better than Montreal from a sanitary point, but it was not as good for keeping purposes.By Mr Keating.—The samples were chemically examined at his request.He had tested the waters from Sherbrooke three times, covering a period of altogether of five years.The samples were taken in summer when the water was usually at its lowest.By Mr.Lawrence—The Sherbrooke water was better than the St.Hyacinthe.Mr.Brown—That has no bearing on the case.The question is w hether other cities under similar conditions a§ Sherbrooke have wholesome water for drinking and domestic purposes.Mr.Lawrence—How does the Sherbrooke water compare with other waters that you have knowledge of ?Dr.Johnston—The Sherbrooke water, from what I know of it, is wholesome at all times.The only objection 1 have to it is the periodical unpleasant taste at certain times.There was never anything t ) show that the health would Ihî injured by it.By Mr.Keating—It had an odor and a cucumber and fishy taste.This only lasted for a few days.That was some years ago and when ho came out here to examine the water the taste had disappeared.VVe fou.id very little organic matter at that time.By Mr.Lawrence—He only found this taste to occur three times and only for a short time in each case.His knowledge of the water ceased in 1895.He had had experience in testing w ater since 1890, and during that time he had examined 14 different water supplies in Canada and the United States.By Mr.Brown—Since 18iM) he had made repeated examinations of the w ater in Sherbrooke, for his own satisfaction, and since 1895 he had made extended examinations and compared the water with other available waters in the neighborhood.He had examined the water all along from the intake pipe to Magog.He believed it would improve the water if the intake pipe was moved further up the river., By Mr.Keating—He found nothing the matter with the water in the reservoir.He found nothing in the water that would tend to injure the health, and there were no towers running into the river that ho knew of.By Mr.McConnell—The samples that he took from the different points in the river were all practically the same so far as the t*8te was concerned.He did not think that the removal of the in ake pipe would prevent the taste in the water.By Mr.Kennedy—What he meant by water for storage purposes, was that some waters after standing 14 day* would decidedly improve.But the carbonic increased and the oxygon diminished in the Sherbrooke waters, when it w^as stored for two day*.The sodiim nt in the reservoir did not amount to much an 1 compared favorably with other water*.By Mr.Keating—He took very little growth out of the reservoir.In fact it was rather free from that, and there did not appear to he any trouble in that respect.He thought that the bad taste was caused in the Little Lake.By Mr.Brown—He had been a shareholder in the company since 1887 and his mother was also a shareholder.ice saut that he simply wished Mr.San^ster to take communication of the statement which he had prepared of the estimated cost of the plant, etc., of the company.He produced the following statement : waterworks property.Water Power and Pumping Htalioo Property .Reservoir Property.Plant—Water Wheels eoxnp’ete.Iron Tubes aud Tank**.Machinery and appliances in connection therewith,2 Pumps

by interest at four to five per cent on amount of this award.Mr.Kobt.N.Arkley, millwright, was next called.He said that the valuation as submitted by the previous witness with regard to lot 571 A/ in the North Ward, extending 150 feet from the south bank of the Magog river of 81850.00 was correct.He was acquainted with the pump house on the said lot, and the erection and excavation of same was worth 81850.00.He was familiar with water powers in the Magog river and in this part of the country a°.d he considered 810,500.00 a fair value for half the river dam and bridge.The horse power available from that with a 9 foot head would bo 150.By Mr.Brown—He was not consulted with regard to these figures, and did not examine them until he came into the room that day.He based his calculations of 81850.00 for this lot on account of the water power being adjacent.He also based his calculations for the water power, from that paid for similar properties along the river.He did not know what the Gas & \Vat*r Co.paid for these properties.Of the two powers, he thought the one at the electric station the best.He did not build the dam at the pump house, but he made the rock excavation, which cost about £500.00.The dam was built by the British American Land Co., and afterwards bought by A.O.Granger.By Mr.Keating—There was 24,000 feet of water, and they got that amount even in dry weather.He valued the power at £0 per horse power, and that practically meant £12 for the twenty-four hours.The dam would last for a life time.By Mr.McManamy—Mr.G rind rod a id Mr.Bryant used the other half of the dam.Mr.Andrew Sangster was then recalled.He went over in detail all the items on the statement already produced.He was examined at great length and explained in detail all the changes and additions that had been been made since he was connected with the company.Mr.Sangster was examined for over five hours, and his cross-examination was adjourned on account of a difference between his figures and the Chief of Police.Dr.Far well was examined as to whether any disease was attributable to the water.In the doctor’s opinion the water was good, and he could never trace any disease to the water.Mr.E.F.\Vaterh< )use, secretary-treasurer of the company was examined at length with regard to the history of the C mquny.He explained the manner of arriving at the figures for the unexpired portion of the contract and gave facts as to the revenue and expenditure of the wM t department of the company applying pr.ucipally to the last eleven years, and also .r s .• ered questions with regard to the carle r history of the company, the purchase of the works from A.O Granger aud the transfer of the stock from him to the present company.Mr.Lawrence said that he did not know what reference these questions had to the matter under consideration, nevertheless, the company did not wish to conceal any facts or object to any question that the city might put.Dr.Austin was next called.He had been practising his profession for twenty five years.He had been one of the medical health officers for the city for about twelve or fourteen years.He had always considered the water to be wholesome, and he had never been able to trace any disease to the use of the water.He never found any of the cases of typhoid fever due to the water.The people used wells before the present supply w’as put in.There were three cases of typhoid at the present time, and there had been thirteen coses reported since the first of January.By Mr.Brown—He made a rejHirt in 1891) which still contained his view's.By Mr.Kennedy—There were several cases of typhoid which wore at the Protestant Hospital from outside the town included in that number.Mr.Andrew Sangster, jr., assistant supt.of the Gas A Water Co.stated that ho examined the intake pipe in 1895.He went down in a diving suit and examined it very carefully, and found everything satisfactory.Ho was examined at length as to the various items already gone over.Mr.J .S.Mitchell, of this city, was examined as to his experience with supplying pipes to water works.He knew about the pipe that was used when the water works were put in.They came from Scotland.That particular pipe was supposed to be the best geing.He saw the invoices of the pipes when they were laid down and they cost from 840 to £45 a ton.The last quotation that he had received on pipes was £27.©0 net.The alue of pipe varied according to the sup-ly and demand.By Mr.Brown.He was not a shareholder in the Gas A Water Company, neither was the McKechnie estate.He had not taken any more interest in the affairs of the coiuftany than a private citizen should.He did not know that the president of the company wrote complaining alnmt the pipes supplied by the Glasgow firm.Mr.W.8.Dresser was of opinion that a city like Sherbrooke might have a fire supply without the aid of steamers.Witness did not claim to be authority, but, he thought in the event of a large fire the whole available supply should be on hand.Mr.8.W.Jenckes, of the Jenckes Machine Co., gave evidence relating to the value of the various items and certified as to their correctness.Mr.D.O.Loomis, contractor, gave evidence chiefly relating to the value of the buildings.Mr.Davidson, Chief of the Fire Brigade and Police, took communication of the re(K>rt made by Mr.Howe on the wa- which arose between the City Council *nd underwriters with regard to clasfcificlMon.A committee of the Council went into Montreal and the underwriters ultimately put the city of Sherbrooke in class A, provided certain conditions w are complied with.One of these conditions was that they would throw six inch streams over the Odell block.He said that the nozzles were one inch instead of 2! as mentioned in the report.They played four streams from one hydrant over the Odell block.He did not think the reservoir was shut down because he asked no favors and gave none.The only knowledge he had was from Mr.Howe of the test.The message was, “I am Mr.Howe, and am at the Magog House.I want six streams over the Odell block taking the time from now.” That was all the warning he got, and he got that in quick time.Mr.Keating—Those results seem extraordinary good.By Mr.Lawrence—He only remembered two occasions when the water was not adequate.That was at the Sherbrooke House in 1890 and at the Banque Nationale.< )n that occasion there was a very hard frost.He could not say whether it was 40 degrees below or not, but it was very cold.He kept a record of the health of the city and could not trace any epidemic to the water.He believed about 90 per cent of the people of Sherbrooke used the water.He then went over the fires that had taken place in Sherbrooke during the past number of years.By Mr.Brown.In his reports of these fires he had recommended the en-larg ng of the mains on Wellington street, King street and Market street.The City Council Extend the Time to Bring in an Award on the Arbitration Proceedings.An adjourned meeting of theCityCoun cil was held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday evening, His Worship, Mayor II.It.Fraser, presiding.Present, Coun cillors McManamy, Belanger, Samuel, Guay, Langlois, Cate, Hebert, Fortier and Gordon.In attendance Mr.F.Griffith, the assistant secretary treasurer.The minutes of previous meeting were read and approved of.His Worship said that as several of the councillors wished to get away the only business that would he considered was a resolution from the City attorney, asking that the City Council grant an extension of time for the arbitrators to bring in an award.He would ask Mr.McManamy to present the resolution.Councillor McManamy said that as they were aware, the arbitrators commenced sitting on Monday and that day they had been sitting from 9 o’clock until 4 in the afternoon.The Gas & Water Company had not finished putting in all their evi dence yet, and the official stenographer had stated that it would take him four days to extend his notes.Mr Brown wanted a copy of the evidence submitted before he began his cross-examination.He thought it necessary, therefore, that they should extend the time.The arbitrators had stated that their adjourning for a week would not in any w ay delay the award.He would mave that the time be extended for another month.There was a great deal of evidence to be submitted, and as Mr.Brown had stated in his address to the arbitrators if was a matter that required a great deal of care and con sidération.Councillor Gordon seconded.His Worship said that he thought the time specified by them at first was alto gether too inadequate to bring in an award.Instead of thirty days he had suggested three months.Councillor Belanger said that it seemed to him that a great deal of unnecessary evidence was being taken.H is Worship said that might be so, but the idea was to throw as much light on the matter as possible.Councillor Langlois said that when the question was up before it was said that th*a whole matter would be settled within thirty days He did not think that they should now be asked to extend the time.Councillor Cate said his idea was that the City attorney stated that if the city agreed the time could be extended if found necessary.His Worship—They are pushing the work as fast as possible, and it would not keep back the award any by extending the time.The motion was then put and unanimously carried.THAT STRIP OF LAItI).The assistant secretary treasurer read a letter from Mr.C.H.Nutter with regard to the strip of land on lot 250 in the south ward for the purpose of widening Wellington street.Mr.Nutter states that he proposes to sell the strip of land being sufficient to run on a parallel with the Odell block at the south end and three feet back from the north-east corner to the Spearing store at the north end at one dollar per square foot, it being understood fchat a retaining wall should also be built during the next three months so that the city can raise the land of the street, and should this arrangement be carried out, he would expect the pavement in front of the said lot to be straightened equal in width to that now in front of the Odell block.The letter was handed to the Finance Committee \ GIVEN FREE DURING THIS MONTH ONLY Book “Poultry Pointers” or One 'rflfart TO PURCHASERS OF ONE PACKAGE OF Y

with the land to be acquired by the city for the (J.C.U.shops, I hey met that gentleman on Friday morning and come to an agreo-ment.Mr.Mul vena had agreed to deed to the city the strip of land in question for the sum of £500.He would move that this offer be accepted.Councillor Cate .seconded.His Worship said in connection with this matter that they were paying £200 for the Beaulieu property which was at the rate of £J00 an acre, about the same figure as they were paying Mr.Mul vena.The Committee were willing to admit the price of the land was exorbitant hut rather than have any further delay, and as Mr.Mill vena had come down iu his price it was considered advisable to have the matter done with at once and pay £500 for the land Councillor McManamy said that while they were on this subject he thought they should settle the whole question now.He would move that the Mayor and secretary treasurer be authorized to make a temporary loan on the most favourable terms with either of the banks and pay for the property which was to be deeded to the Quebec Central Railway Company.Councillor Cate seconded and the motion unanimously agreed to.THE ROBERTSON PROPERTY.The secretary treasurer read a letter from Mr.J.G.Rol>ert*on with regard to his property on Wellington street.It was to the effect tnac as the Board of Trade of Sherbrooke had recommended the taking of a strip of land from his property on Wellington street for the purpose of widening that street on the west side, it might ho possible that the City Council would consider the propriety of purchasing the whole property for the purpose of widening the street, for enlarging the market grounds or for other public purposes.Should only the strip of land on the front side be taken to widen the street it would have to be expropriated in the usual manner.If the whole property was desired by the city an early reply was requested so that other parties interested might be communicated with The letter was handed to the Finance Committee.The transference of the license of the Sherbrooke House from the Richardson estate to the new proprietors, Messrs.McDougall A: Rawlins, on condition that the usual formalities were complied with.^ The Council adjourned to meet next Tuesday.Serious Charge Against J.R.W oodward.ARRESTED ON A CHARCE OF CONSPIRACY A good deal of excitement was occasioned on Tuesday evening when it was learned that James R.Woodward, late general manager of the Quebec Central Railway, had been arrested on a charge of attempting to obstruct and trying to defeat the courts of justice.The warrant was issued at the instance of Mr.Frank Grundy, manager of the Quebec Central Railway.The warrant was executed by High Constable Moe, and that same evening accused was brought before Judg Mulvenaand liberated on a bond of £1500 to appear in court this morning.His bond was furnished £500 by himself, £500 by Geo.F.Terrill and £500 by Mr.H.A.Odell.Mr.J.R.Woodward held the position of general manager of the Quebec Central Railway until that road was taken over by an English company.The arrest arises through the accused getting power of attorney from irresponsible parties to purchase properties owned by J.G.Robertson in which the Quebec Central Railway held Judgment.Mr.L.C.Belanger will appear for Mr.Woodward.Jas.R.Woodward, late manager of the Quebec Central Railway, was up for preliminary examination before District Magistrate Mul vena on a charge of attempting to defeat the ends of justice by getting jH)wer of attorney from irresponsible parties in the United States to purchase property offered for sale by the Sheriff by an order from the Court.Mr.L.C.Belanger appeared for the accused and Mr.H.B.Brown for the complainant.The case was called at ten o’clock, but Mr.L.C.Belanger being engaged in a Superior Court case, the accused asked that the Court stay proceedings until such time as his attorney was present.The District Magistrate then adjourned until later in the day.Aggressive Sunday School Work.The Sunday School Union of the Province of Quebec, ever watchful over the best interest of the workers of the community, have arranged a series of meetings
