the time to have had their day and that bright and pronounced colors, both in head gear and trimmings are to reign supreme.In this respect there is very little diflerence between the new millinery and that of the summer just passed, the taste for bright tints remaining as strong as ever.For the greater part hats will be large, all trimming will be worn to the front or side and following closely the “Gainsborough” style.There are many hats to be seen in chenille, which appears to be a favorite this fall.Ihe fashionable styles in felt are displayed in variety of colors and excellence of finish that shows the perfection which the manufacturer has attained.The trimmings are exceptionally artistic, feathers and birds predominating.II.SAMUELS.At II.Samuel’s there was a well assorted display of trimmed effects in bats and bonnets.The hats are large and the Tam” effect predominates.This season hats roll off the face to the left side and are trimmed very full with feathers, birds wings and ospreys.The colors are natural and grey, but white, blue, red and yellow are also seen.Toques are all made in the soft round effect, and bonnets are worn very much larger.French patterns in bonnets and hats are also shown.An extensive variety of mourning and children’s wear is also displayed.Miss Hunter who is in charge of the millinery department shows a rare amount of taste and skill in her display and her work is always popular with Sherbrooke’s well dressed ladies.A fine display of mantles are also shown.MISS GAUTHIER.Miss Gauthier’s show room for the jiast three days have been well attended, and the display was very much admired.It was choice and had no appearance of crowding so that each and all of the different shapes and styles were seen to the best advantage.The long plumes in the trimmings have taken the place of the tips and are in demand once more.The shades are very bright and rich, and consist of royal purple and bluette.The display both for workmanship and style is a very good one.M.MCKECHNIE.New Rockland.sorry to record a very sad the death of Mr.Robert only son of Mr.Robert Jones of New Rockland, which occurred after a few days illness at his sister’s home in

vilLge in which my boyhood w is spent lived a man who whs at once one of the most intelligent and slackest of human beings.Among the sorts and conditions of men I have some upon since, I never saw any to match him.He was a farmer, and his name was Lynch— David Lynch.His house had never been painted, and the broken windows were stuffed here and there with rags and old hats.His barns were open to the winds, and his cattle and horses nearly frozen in winter.His garden was full of weeds, which also choked his crops—when he had any.Everything belonging to David was musty, fusty, and down at the heel.He was always in debt, yet it never seemed to worry him.Surrounded by his own rack and ruin, he died in old age, and lies to-day in a grave without a slab to mark the spot.Still he was a gentleman and a good deal of a scholar.He knevalot, but never applied it to any pracical purpose.Yes, yes; a queer chap w'as David Lynch.And the funniest thing about him was that, although in early life he had mastered the carpenter’s trade, he had never nailed up the loose boards on his buildings.Why didn’t he ?Toe lazy, you say.Well, let it go at that.Now take the case of a totally different kind of man, who.nevertheless, failed to repair/u.s house.The story as he tells it, runs thus : “For many years,” he says, “I suffered weakness and exhaustion.I always felt tired and languid.1 had but little energy.1 had a foul taste in the mouth, and my tongue was covered with slime.I had a poor appetite, and after meals experienced distress and fulness at the chest.I had an iching pain around the heart, often so bad that I fainted.“I was very dizzy, too, at times, and when at my work or walking, I was obliged to take hold of something to keep from falling.F got little or no slet p at night, and in the morning 1 felt worn out and exhausted, worse tired in fact than at night.Every few’ weeks I had to leave my work, owing to the bad attacks at my heart.“In this manner I continued for years, and was almost all the time under medical treatment.The doctor said I was sufler-ing from weakness of the heart, but his medicine did me little good.“In August, 1888, Mr.Prout told me of the benefit he had derived from Mother Seigel’s Syrup, and I procured a Lottie of it from Mr.Clapp, grocer in High Street.After taking it I found myself quite a new man.I had less pain at the heart and felt stronger.I persevered with it and felt better than for years ; the medicine seemed to drive the languor away.By taking a little of it when needed 1 hive since kept in good health.My family also have found it beneficial.Had it not been for Mother Seigel’s Syrup it is my opinion l should not now he alive You may publish this statement, and rrfer any one to me.(Signed) John Willey, Manor Place, Honiton, Devon.September 24th, 1890.’ Lest 1 should forget it, I wish to call the reader’s attention to certain dates.By looking again at Mr.Willey’s letter you will see that he was cured in the latter part of 1888.That is eight years ago now, hi id ho his been well ever since.Therefore the repairs done on his bodily house were more substantial and lasting.And that is a great point for Mother SeigePs Syrup as a remedy for chronic dyspepsia—which was our friends trouble.Furthermore, nothing tears the house down as that disease does.It is like wind, rain, and rot combined.His heart affection, his dizziness, and all the rest, were signs of dyspepsia at work—at work tearing things down, mind you.The carpenter and architect that builds up is Mother Seigel’s Syrup.Now listen to me ten seconds more and my talk is done—for this time.David Lynch knew perfectly well how to keep his house and barns in good order, but didn’t do it.He was a careless slack man.On the other hand Mr.Willey is an industrious man, who would have kept his body in order if he had known how.No blame to him for that.A building of brick and boards is an easy thing to understand.The body-house isn’t.Only He who makes it understands it; but experience shows us that some things that can be depended on to repair it Perhaps the best of these is Mother Seigel’s Syrup.At least Mr.Willey thinks

Commissioner of Colonization and Mines, has received a proposal from a French syndicate of capitalists who are anxious to assist colonization in this province by advancing sums ranging from 8100 to 8200 to settlers taking lots in the backwoods of the province.They are prepared to advance this money at three per cent, interest with a mortgage on the land.If the settler falls to remain on his lot and pay the interest, the lot becomes the property of the syndicate.While the settler remains on his land, the interest is to be guaranteed by the province.The great drawback with the majority of settlers in the past has been the want of a small capital at the start.The syndicate intend asking for an act of incorporation at the coming session.In the meantime the Commissioner has taken the suggestion under consideration.There were 13 liquor case* from Windsor Mills, before District Magistrate Mul-vena on Thursday.They were for a violation of the Dunkin Act, and were at the instance of

are sick.Nature helps to cure them Nature’s law is the guide for curing sick people.There is no way but Nature’s way.What the doctors call many different diseases Nature cures in one way ; by nourishing the whole body with good, pure, rich, red blood That is Nature’s way of curing scrofula, erysipelas, kidney and liver com plaint,” consumption and every form of eruptive and wasting disease W hen you want to help Nature with medicine the medicine must work the same way as Nature works, then it has the laws of Nature on its side to make it powerful.That is the secret of Dr.Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery’s wonderful cures.It assists Nature accoraing to her own laws ; it is on Nature s side and Nature helps it ; it imparts new power to the nutritive and blood making organs to create a large quantity of fresh, red, healthy blood which drives every germ of disease out of the system and builds up strong healthy tissues and solid flesh The " Discovery ” completely clears away every form of blood disease from the system ; It even cures consumption.It is the only true radical cure for that disease, facts and testimony to prove it.“ I would like to tell the whole world what your • Golden Medical Discovery’ has done for me The doctor, who is considered an expert on lung troubles, told me I had consumption He said both mv lungs were diseased and 1 could not live long.1 felt down hearted for 1 have deal little* children to live for I just went to him to get his opinion.I am glad 1 did for now I know what your medicine will do.When I started on the second bottle I was better in every way and w as able to take a walk on every fine day 1 enjoyed mv sleep, mv appetite was good, and by the time J had finished th£ second bottle I began to leel like a new woman.I still had a

The International Exhibition is over and the exhibitors have folded their tents and moved away.The exhibits in most of the departments were highly créditai>k but the attendance was small ; even tin presence of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr.Tarte on the opening day evoked little enthusiasm.Instead of a gathering of 10,000 or 12,000 people only 2,0i)0 oi 3,01)0 were present This was not because of indifference, but because it was known from the experience of former years that the magnificent buildings and grounds w ould be in a chaotic state and because an opportunity had been had t( see and hear Mr.Laurier, for whom men of all parties here entertain a high respect at Ins hotel.However, the farmers, dairymen, fruit growers and manufactur ers of the Atlantic Provinces and Quebec made an excellent showing at the fair.Some superb specimens of pigs, sheep, horned cattle and horses were shown by Isaleigh Grange, Danville, E.P.Ball, Rock Island ; R.H.Pope, Cookshire F.S.Wetheral, Cookshire; Guy Carr, Compton ; Robert Shaw & Son, Stratford and H.VV.Doak of Compton, some of whom carried off a pocket full of prizes and every one of w hom w as a prize winner Other prizes for Devons, Polled Angus, and fat cattle were awarded to R.Robertson and \V.I).McClary of Compton and V.J.Stratton of Cookshire.The season considered there w’as an excellent display of fruits, vegetables, roots, grain and all kinds of agricultural products : the show of butter and cheese was superb, and the specimens of needle work shown were much admired.The show of poultry was by far the best that has ever been made here.Flowers of almost every variety grow to perfection in our soil and climate and the exhibit by florists and amateur cultivators was magnificent.Some Am erican tourists who were present confessed that it excelled that at the recent horticultural fair in Boston.Exhibitors failed, however, to realize the object of the show to a great extent.So much space was given to itinerant traders, and so much attention to “special attractions.” (heaven save the mark) that the educational objects of the fair were in a measure overlooked.A good deal of attention was attracted by specimens of grain, roots, fruits, vegetables and dowers grown on the Thomas Phosphate, made by H.& E.Albert of London, England.By its use oats have been grown at the rate of 70 bushels per acre and hay at the rate of 3J tons.The sale of this fertilizer in eight or nine years has grown to 1,500,000 tons per annam and in the two years since it was introduced here it has taken the place of almost every other commercial fertilizer.As populations grow dense we realize more than before our obligations to those by whose genius we are enabled to grow two blades of grass where one had hitherto grown.The street railway composed largely of Montreal capitalists, is performing a splendid service.Their open and vestibule cars pass over the line of about eleven miles every throe to five minutes and are a great convenience to citizens and visitors.The business is very carefully managed and no accident of a serious nature has occurred on the line since it came under the present control.The ex tension of the line into the suburbs, say, the Rural Cemetery,is very desirable.Its extension in this direction would te followed by the erection of residences all along the valley through which it would pass.S.St.John, N.B., Sept 25th.Some 80 discouraged gold prospectors have returned from Skagway to Victoria, B.0.They report snow four feet deep on the summit and the colony erecting log huts f<

as they had found it impossible, despite their best efforts, to complete the street railway before the first of October, they respectfully petitioned the Council to extend the time for the completion of the railway to the first of January next.Councillor Belanger (to Mr.Morris)— Are you prepared to give it to us as a New Year’s gift ?Mr.Morris—Yes, Councillor Belanger.I think you will have it as a Christmas box.Councillor McManamy said that owing to the difficulties which the company has had to contend with, ho did not think it unreasonable for the time to be extended.He would move that the time be extended for three months, subject to the passing of the new bye-law.Councillor Belanger seconded.Councillor Cate said that at the last meeting of the Council some reference had been made with regard to the style of the poles.He did not know whether there was an understanding between the Council and the Company.His Worship said that he had received a petition from the Board of Trade with regard to the poles which urged very strongly the removal of the poles from Wellington Street by the Gas tfc Water Co.and Telephone Co’s., and that the Street Railway provide iron poles.Councillor Cate said that he thought this would certainly bo an opportunity of great importance to the city for the best possible solution of this difficulty.It seemed to him that the question of poles should be disposed of now.He, for one would not like to see additional poles on the principal streets.Mr.Morris, on behalf of the Street Railway Co., said that they were prepared to meet the city iu every possible way He spoke to Mr.Burke about the placing of iron poles on the street, and the com pany would be willing to place iron poles there provided the other poles were re moved, but otherwise they would not ae eept the risk and responsibility to have them alongside the other companies’ poles Another thing their poles were now bought and paid f»>r, and if discussions now ar- m* would delay them in their work.He would state, however, that the company were prepared to do everything iu their power to meet the requirements of the city.He wras speaking to the Mayor of Lennoxville and Mr.Ames, who both stated that they were delighted with the way the company had treated the municipality and the condition in which they left the road.He was sure they would do the same for the city of Sherbrooke.The motion was put and unanimously carried.THE WIDENING OF WELLINGTON STREET.The secretary-treasurer read a letter from the Board of Trade with regard to the widening of Wellington Street.The letter suggested that the time was an opportune one to make arrangements with the Street Railway Co.with the view « f having them erect small iron poles instead of the large wooden ones which they now purpose putting up.Councillors Gordon and Lomas had met the Council of the Board of Trade with regard to the matter but they were not disposed to pledge the Council to anything definite.Should the Council feel disinclined to act upon the former recommendations, they would propose another suggestion.They believed that an arrangement cjuld be entered into with the property holders on the west side of the street, by which they would consent to lease to the city, for a term of say twenty-five years at a nominal rental, the land in front of their properties.They believed that an arrangement of this kind would do away with the objection raised by some members of the Council as to possibilities at some future time that some of these property holders might be disposed to give the city some trouble and inconvenience in possibly undertaking to build out to their lints.They believed that the City's interest in this respect would be sufficiently safeguarded by such an arrangement.The Board of Trade felt very strongly on the «{uestion and felt that the present was an opportune time for the City to acquire an extra width of about two feet on Wellington street proper at a comparatively small cost.They maintained that an expenditure of $1200 would be of great intrinsic value not only to the property holders on both sides of Wellington street but to the citizens generally.In order, if possible, to facilitate matters the Board of Trade would be willing to appoint a committee to act with a committee from the Council to interview immediately the Bell Telephone Co., the Gas & Water Co., and ascertain if it is not possible to arrange with these corporations to place their wires underground on Wellington street, and do away with the great inconvenience caused by the present big poles.They were also of opinion that it would be greatly in the interesta of the city to have Wellington street paved.They understood that the cost of same would amount to six or seven thousand dollars, and the interest at four i>er cent on this amount would mean a cost to the city of a scheme.His Worship—If this is a public affair it should be looked upon as a public improvement to the city of Sherbrooke and not as an improvement to those on the west side of the street.They should endeavor to meet this committee in a courteous manner and, if possible, see what can be done in the matter.Councillor Cate said that the views expressed by Mr.McManamy was perhaps hardly a fair view of the situation.They looked upon this as a general improvement of Wellington street.He thought everyone who had seen the McKechnie block would at once admit that a wider sidewalk would add to the general appearance of the street.It was important that this report should be treated in a fair way.While t hey were lo»>king into the question of poles they should also consider the widening of Wellington street.He would move that a committee from the Council meet a committee from t he Board of Trade and consider this question.Councillor Langlois seconded.Councillor Gordon said that the matter should be sent to the Permanent Improvement Committee.Councillor McManamy said that he did not wish it to be thought that he was against the suggestions from the Board of Trade with regard to having the wires underground.He was in favor of that if it could be carried out.He hold that the improvement might be for the city, but it was more for the good of the property owners.If these owners wanted the improvement why did they not come to the City with some offer?If the Council started to do the work they would have any amount of claims for lowering the tloors and other things, which would make it a very difficult matter to deal with.He wanted to see these property owners make an offer to the city, as they were the ones who would be most specially benetitted.Last year they they made over the sidewalk at the expense of the city, and this year they had that carted away and a new one was put down.Still they wanted something more.Councillor Fortier said that the position the Road Committee took in making their report was that after they had examined the question they got a deed drawn up by the City attorney and gave it to the President of the Board of Trade, and as they would not agree to the deed they gave or-dersto have the pavement proceeded with Councillor Gordon said that he was appointed by the Road Committee to wait upon the City attorney before they went further with the matter.He presented the deed drawn up by the city attorney to the President of the Board, which called for the property holders deeding over the land required, and Mr.Webster had stated that none of the owners would deed the land.Even after the city had spent $1,500 or $2,000 the store-keepers still wanted to reserve their rights to put out their goods the same ns they did on the other side.He would be in favor of the city buying the rights on both sides of the street at a fair valuation and let the city have full control of it.The whole matter was remitted to the p.i nt Improvement Committee.i .i! ROBERTSON PROPERTY.Councillor McManamy read the report of the Finance Committee which stated that they took into consideration the letter of Mr.Robertson offering his property on Wellington street for sale to the city.The Committee would not recommend the purchase of the property at present, but would be in favor of acquiring a strip to widen Wellington street if suitable ar rangements could be made for the same.Councillor Cate moved that this matter beJeft with the Finance Committee with power to make any suitable arrangements to acr us if we could ac»iuire the property for $8,000.THAT STRIP OF LAND.Councillor Gordon road the Road Committee’s report with regard to the offer of C.II.Nutter to sell a strip of land on his lot on Wellington street drawing a line from the corner of the Odell block to a point three feet back from the street line at the north corner of the said lot.The total number of feet is from 465 to 47< feet.They accepted Mr.Nutter’s offer at $1 a square foot.The Committee recommended that the offer of Messrs.Short for crushing maca dam be accepted It A BRIDGE OVER THE ST.FRANCIS Councillor Hebert said it was within the knowledge of the Council that a few months ago the question of a bridge over the St.Francu river was made officially known, and since then the matter had been referred to the Finance Committee but up to the present no report had been presented.In the meantime new plans had been received and an engineer from the Dominion Bridge Co.was here and took the necessary measurements,and has made a plan for the construction of bridge to replace the present wooden structure.It was a bridge similar to that uflod by the G .T.R.over the Magog, would have a 26 foot roadway with a fiv foot sidewalk on either side, which would make a 86 foot bridge.The bridge could be erected on the present foundation According to the letter received with the pit ns it could be made ready .for traffic at a c»>st of $11,800, the city to do any work necoessary for approaches.The strength of the bridge would be quite sufficient for the requirement* of the city, and would bear a double track should the Street Railway Co.propose to double their line at a future period.It would stand a strain of 64,000 pounds.Each car was luppos ed to weigh 32,000 pounds, or giving strength of 2,800 pounds to the lineal foot.HespoketoMr.Burke about the weight of the cars and he said they were not so heavy as that He thought it would 1)© wise on the part of the City Council not to neglect this opportunity so that they could .subscription from the Street Rail-before they had made any arrange-» to go over the existing bridge.He 1 be very pleased indeed if the Coun->uld take the necessary steps with the object of having the scheme in operation as soon as possibe.The matter was not a question of locality.The whole of Sherbrooke was equally interested in the matter, and would have their support.Councillor Gordon said he wrote about the question some time ago and received plans and an estimate which, he thought, were a little cheaper.His Worship—Might not the whole matter be referred to the Road Committee with Mr.Gordon’s letters and the plans you now have, Mr.Hebert ?Councillor Lomas—Stop the bonuses and let us beautify the city.Councillor Belanger—Let us put up a toll gate (laughter).His Worship—Make the Street Railway pay their share.Councillor Hebert said he would be quite willing to have the whole matter referred to the Road Committee for report at a future meeting.THE VALUATION ROLL.The Council then proceeded to deal with the claims for reduction on taxes.The first one taken up was that from the Baton Co., asking that a reduction be made in their taxes.H is Worship said that it seemed to him that this special tax on manufacturers was unjust.Councillor Lomas said that in looking over the amounts that the manufacturers in Sherbrooke paid, it would be found that they paid 50 per cent more than the manufacturers did in Ontario, and they had to compete with these mills.Mr.Griffith—They pay taxes on $150,- 000.Councillor Belanger said that this company was always asking favors.A few years ago they got a bonus of $25,000 and exemption from taxes for twenty years.He did not think they had much reason to complain.His Worship said that the complaint seemed to be that there was a premium upon all these manufacturing establishments, while in other cities in Ontario the taxes were less.Councillor Lomas said he did not want to be relieved unless the others were put on an equal footing and this special tax removed.Councillor Cate said that this matter was before the Finance Committee some time ago and the position of the company fully explained by Mr.Turnbull, the managing director, and Mr.Boswell.The claim that they had pat forward was was that they were brought face to face, under the present condition of affair, w ith the difficulty that it was almost impossible for them to continue their business.Although practising the most rigid economy they found that it was only a deficit after deficit that was met with and for a good many years they had lost money.If they continued their works in Sherbrooke, they would have to still further reduce their expenses, but they were in hopes that the times would improve.If they were able to meet expenses they would not come before the Council and ask for any further assistance or reduction from taxation.The company now paid $3900 in taxes and they say that it now is merely a question of existence, and it was for the* city to consider whether Mr.Turnbull convinced the members of the Finance Committee what was the exact position of the company.It was a question of the utmost importai #j and if they were to believe their representatives the city should accord them some measure of relief.The valuators were asked if they had anything to say with regard to this question and Mr.Read and Mr.Lemaire both stated that they thought the valuation a fair one.Councillor Lomas thought some relief should be accorded to the manufacturers.Councillor McManamy said that it was too much protection that was the cause of so many manufacturers being in existence in the Dominion.If they reduced for one they would have to do so for the whole and their funds could not stand it.Their funds were getting more and more limited and if they were to deal with this question as a whole it was out of the question.Councillor Langlois moved that the valuation remain as it is.Councillor Guay seconded and the mo tion was agreed to.Several other applications were considered, one from W.L.Wadleigh and H.Barthe for a reduction was refused The applications for change of names on estates was agreed to.THE B.a.L.go’s PROPERTY NOT RATED HIGH ENOUGH.Councillor McManamy said that before they close this discussion he would draw the attention of the Council to the fact lot 1444, belonging to the British American Land Co., was valued at $630.The other day the arbitrators valued a strip of land running through from Alexander to Wellington Street at $1400 an acre.According to the evidence which they adduced then, they were selling lots on that property at a rate of $2500.He contended, therefore, that the company was undervalued on this property and he would move that it be raised to $1000 an acre.Mr.Read said that the land which was valued at $1400 an acre was the best on the property and the remainder he would not build on it if he got it as a gift.His Worship—You should leave it off until another valuation.Councillor McManamy said that they did not owe the British American Com pany anything.They obstructed every thing that came into the city.In answer to a Councillor Mr Me Manamy said he would give notice of i motion that to take up this valuation.Councillor Lomas—I move that the valuation roll be homologated this even GIVEN FRE DURING THIS MONTH ONLY flae Beak “Poultry Pointers" or Oif Chart TO PURCHASERS OP ONE

But the American Congress when it again assembles at Washington, this autumn, may, and possibly will, reverse the whole present situation.Already the American press, quite irrespective of party politics, is demanding such reversal, and assert that Attorney-General McKenna has merely been able to delay the operation of the section for the next few weeks, or months, for the convenience of official timidity and the accommodation of local, selfish and alien interests.With such a eighty and irreconcilable element, as the inti-British portion of the American press placing itself on record as determinedly opposed to McKenna's interpretation of the clause, Americans will naturally be blinded as to theii true interests, and, in consequence, there is bound to be trouble ahead.Many of our newspapers seem to take it for granted that this decision is a final and conclusive one, nullifying the new law in respect to the discriminating duty.It was not, however, a judicial construction of the law.It neither repeals, liters or modifies anything in the new American tariff law as it now stands.It is merely a professional opinion given for the purpose, as it is contended by those of contrary views, of relieving Secretary Gage from then cessity of immediate enforcement of the section in quarters where nforcement would provoke bitter opposition.Had this law gone into operation it might have benefitted western transportation interests to some extent ; but would have advanced the United States another step along the way of a past Chinese-like policy of exclusion, and have struck another blow at foreign commerce.Fortunately, this eminently selfish policy would, if carried into effect, work little or no injurv to Canadian interests.In the course of an interview with the Secretory of State upon the matter, Hon.Mr.Scott informed me that the government had never regarded, with any very serious apprehensions, the probable conclusions at which the United States Attorney-General might arrive in regard to the bonding privilege, feeling assured that as the interests of the Eastern States were paramount to those »»f Canada and would be moreseriously affected than the interests o.the latter country, the fact would prove a great leverage in turning the scale when any doubt might exist in the interpretation of the section 22.People generally were laboring nnder a wrong impression as to the volume of imports into the l nited States over the Canadian territory, or in British bottoms.The transportation of American imports was insignificant particularly in the article of tea from the Pacific coast.He considered that McKenna had made his decision on broad and liberal lines, rendered in the spirit of good neighborliness and an evidence of friendliness on the part of the l nited States towards Canada.To wipe out the present bonding privileges would do away with the wholesome competition now existing and would create grinding monopolies among transportation lines in both countries.A large proportion of Canadian produce now goes over American lines where transportation facilities offer a chance of competition and the people are benefitted thereby.He was inclined to view a contrary decision, sustaining the clause, in the light of a breach of the Washington treaty which favour the promotion of trade and interchange of commerce between the two countries.EXIT SIR TUFPER.The opposition press of this city, a couple of days ago, announced that .e o:_ /'?l_1_ foil to pieces.Foster’s claims for leadership could not thus lightly be set aside for those of this scion of the Tupper nobility.So it was decreed that Foster’s ambition, likewise, should not attain its desired end and Hugh John is put forward as a make-shift.Reliance is placed upon the old time prestige of his father’s name and memory, together with that of his own honorable career and character, which Hugh John will bear with him to bring into temporary unison, at least, the discordant element of the Tory party.But it will certainly be found necessary sooner or later, for this new Tory leader, if he would command the respect of parliament and the confidence of the country to purge his party from the degrading element which now destroys the utility of Her Majesty’s loyal opposition in the Canadian parliament.Hugh John Macdonald may, if he accepts the leadership, succeed in obtaining a competent and respectable following, but it would need to be an entirely new one.It seems extremely doubtful that he would take the position and its responsibilities as accompanied by such unsavory attachments which surrounded Sir Charles.And now could one but look into the inner reffections of the Hon.George Eules to-day, how intensely chagrined the thoughts and how melancholy the musings of that gentleman would appear.His hopes like his aspirations, took lofty flight when it became a well understood fact that Sir Charles decided to resign the leadership and turn his attention to other and more profitable business.So apparent became Foster’s intentions and aim that, despite all his attempts at indifference in the matter, his ill-concealed longing to succeed to the Tory leadership became the subject of remark on the floors of the House.Commenting on the attitude of the Conservative leader and his lieutenant, Sir Richard Cartwright jocularly said in the course of a speech : “I do not know what the domestic arrangements are, but for the sake of old acquaintance, I would say to the opposition Caesar, that he had better take care of his honorable friend (Foster).Yon Cassins is a lean and hungry man.Trust him not he is dangerous.” And thus it transpires that Sir Richard’s anticipations are being realized ; but the plum Foster would pluck, is Dead Sea fruit.A.V.W.Hatley.Last Tuesday John Bowen an old man 83, years of age, passed quietly away at his son-in-laws.H.O.Knapps.He was buried at the Bowen Cemetary on Thursday afternoon.Edwin Hawe’s little boy 9 years old died on Thursday.Mrs.Flanders, widow of 1).S.Flanders celebrated her eighty fifth birthday last Thursday.is on sal e Mrs.Heseltine’s Stomp Office E.C.Fraser’s Drug Store.Thos.Cowan’s Store, King St.E.C.Enright's Store.Montreal St.\V.B.Murry’s Store, East Sherbrooke Reading Room.General Montgomery Moore, cotnman-der-in-Chief in Canada, has returned from an inspection of the defences on tha Pacific coast.the Four employees in the London, Ont-Poet Office have received notice of dismissal.O^STOXXX^.ffcv ft»* tfallv futur real purpose of Sir Charles Tupper’s visit to Winnipeg, just now, was to transfer Ihe leadership of the Conservative party to the Hon.Hugh John Macdonald.This announcement is made upon the authority of a statement by a prominent and well-informed Conservative, who says that the matter is already settled, and that a gathering of the party leaders in Winui peg, during the present week, will confirm his assertion.The retirement of Sir Charles is not at all an unlocked for event.It was well-known that after his crushing defeat at the polls, his one desire was to finally withdraw from active political life and to see his mantle of the Tory leadership fall upon the shoulders of his son, the member for Picton In this particular his ambition has received another check.It was Foster’s spare form and elongated visage which obtruded their unwelcome presence into the little scheme, and so the plan for the continuance of Tupper aggrandisement Wrapper Competitioo.The following are the Winners No.3, I^rince of Quebec.The above cernpe each month of 1807.Lev or Bro*, Limited, Torontc I i * The Examiner, at the following places:-— August, 1897.in Di-trict Winners of Steam’s Bicycle?Mrs.Percy Barnard, Latour St,Mon real Miss (4.B.Harte, 18 Summerhill Ave., Montreal.Winners of 3olâ Watcius.Miss Isa Ross, 4 Laval St., Quebec.Mr.Charles Thomson, 2450St.Catherne St., Montreal.Leger
