Victim Had Three Wives Living \u2014Startling Revelations Made by Police.Newark, N.J., Feb.4.\u2014There were sensational developments to-day in the case of Frank Wilhelm, the contractor who wad found murdered in bis home here Monday, though the actual olearing up of mystery that surrounds the tri has not yet come.The revelations included the charge that Wilhelm had three wives and that he never had been divorced.Another oogurrence of interest waa the notion of the police in suddenly bringing Mre.M J.Wilhelm and Nicholas Sicca, & boarder in the Wilhelm home, both held in connection with the murder, into the presence of the body of the murdered man.Mru.Wilbelm, although she became hysterical, withstood the test fairly well, but Sioca was so disturbed that his arraignment in court, set for to-day, had to be postponed.The allegations regarding the domestic life of the mu man came during the proof the funeral of Wilhelm.Mrarederick A, Wilhelm, of New York city, who claimed she was married to Wilhelm in Jersey City in 1894 soon after he had deserted his fire wife, Hannah Wilhelm, who also was bis step-sister.Two years later, she sai she discovered his perfidy.When she accused him he deserted her, she ul- Loge, and her vear-old daughter and a y soon to be born and fied with his ntep-sister wife.Since then she had not heard from him until the child, thep unborn, and now a lad of 12 years, read of bis murder in a newspaper Tuesday and recoguised his picture in the paper as that of the man whose picture, in their home, he \u2018had been told was his father.Mrs.Fredericks Wilhelm does not know what became of Hannah Wilhelm.The wife with whom be has recently been living, Mrs.Mary J.Wilhelm, is in jail, held in connection with the murder.Mrs.Fredericka Wilhelm and her sinter, Mrs.Maria Armater, nf New York, fainted at Wilhelm'a hier to day while the fureral was in progress and when, as they claimed, they identified the dead man as the husband of Mrs.Fredericks Wilhelm.The last named fell dramatically across the coffin in 8 complete state of collapse, while hef sister sli to the floor in a faint.The accident caused intense excitement for a time.Mrs.Mary J.Wilhelm, the wife now held tion with the rourder, was not per mitted 40 attagd the funeral, although she had requested permission to do so.THE CZAD IS INDIGNANT } London, Feb.5\u2014A despatch from 8, Petershurg

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 FRENCH ARTILLIERY INVENTION Paris, February 4\u2014Col.Deport, the well-known French expert, bas just invented an improvement in the tbres- inch Beld gun that will enable the battery to be worked five men instead of six.This will free 2,400 nten in the French army-enough to serve twenty-four new batteries.The Colonel's system consists in employing the recoil to open the breech-block, which then shuts automatically on the cartridge being introduced.There ia also an ingenious contrivance for obviating the necessity for lowering the gun, and the total weight in reduced by 6 owt.for the gun and almost as much for the ammunition waggon, which thus makes the new model especially fit for use in the artillery attached to independent cavalry divisions.NEW

Government Will Construct One at Ottawa in View of Dr.Haanel's Report on Electric Smelting.Ottawa, Feb.4\u2014Dr.Eugene Hannol, Dominion Director of Mines, has ce- tumed from Sweden, where he was inspecting the latest developments in the manufacture of electrical smelting furnaces.He comes back with great hopes of what the introduction of such furnaces into Ontario and Que | bee will mean for the amelting of iron ores.In the first case we have no coal here, and secondly coal will not reduce sulphurous and titaniferous ores and electricity will.The new pro- cesu will mean an immense advanta commercially for these provinces.v addition the director of mines and the department has another scheme of great potential value to Canada.This in in connection with the best process of preparing peat for fuel and the investigating of the deposits in Ontario and Quebec.investigations are already going on, and machinery is on the way to equip a plant in Ottawa where fuel testing, especially in connection with peat, will be scientifically carried on.Dr.Haanel relerred to the Government'e experiments with electrical furnaces at the \u201cSco.\u201d He had then stated that the construction of such furnace would have to be ch before it could be used commercially, although it showed it could reduce ares which blast furnaces counid not.Sweden is in the same condition exactly as Ontario and Quebec in pow messing iron ores and water powers, but no Yoal.They also took up the subject of constructing a commercial electrical furnace.They erected in succession eight furnaces, each improving by the failures of the preceding ones until they secured what they regarded as a final sucoess.Then Dr.Haane! was invited to visit Sweden and inspect the new furnace.He found it in many ways like a blast farnace, hut with the tuyeres re- laced by electrodes.Only about 700 horse power was available, but Drexperienced in conntructing one in the same plan for 3,000 or more horsepower.The director of mines explained that most of our ores contain sulphur enough to prevent their being handled in an ordinary blast furnace.The government experiments at \u2018Sault Ste.Marie prove that these san be handled le-trically even when they contain as much as 2 per cent.of sulphur, So hy this process immense iron deposits now valueless could Le brought into the market.The rame may be eaid of the iron ores containing 5 to 7 per cent.of titanic acid, which at present cannot be reduced.But the process would especially be applicable to the production of \u201cnickel pig\u201d from roasted nickeliferous pyrohotite from thin Sudbury deposits.An estimate of 815,000 har Lew passed for the erection in Ottawa «i a fuel testing plant.A site has Leen chosen in the southern part of the city near Gladetgne avenue and the machinery is now on its way from Germany.This would chiefly deal with peat, which a German process has shown can be made a good gas producer.This gas would be equally easily converted into electrical energy and 8 peat bog would hecome practically the same as a waterlall so far as power production ir concerned.Aly investigations are being made to determine the extent, depth, quality and the best methods of developing the bogs.They exist in immense quantities in Ontario and Quebec and if they can be made commercially vali able will be of great importance.An appropriation has already been made for the purchase by Government of a peat and the setting up of machinery for the purpose of demonatrat- | ing the beat methods of making it into fuel and converting it into electrical enatgy.It would be hard to estimate what it would mean to the bros inces whieh have no coal if water power ond peat could be used to develop electrical the present useless iron deposits.Peat, of course, could be use! to develop energy for\u2018uny other pnrposes, and if it can be successfully harnessed and the iron debosits in addition made valuable the increased wenlth opened to the province is incalculable.THREE KILLED IN COLLISION Spartanburg, 5.C.Feb.4.\u2014Three men wern killed and several injurcd in a collision between two freight traine on the Seaboard Air

Feb.4\u2014A superior steel, which Prof.John Oliver Arnold predicted in & lecture before the Royal ly out the present best high-speed stesl out of date, is made Jonas and Colver, of Sheffield.firm's manager says the dismvery was practically the outcome of litigation in- atituted by the Be chem Brel Company America regarding patent rights of the latter's air-hardened steel.Experiments were made in Sheffield with ihe view of rendering the firm inde t of the American litigation, and these bod to the pre sent discovery.A revolution has been made in the hardening process, and the metal con be hardesed in oil\u201d or parrafin equally as well as in water.Mild steel hardensd by the new pro- cesa will do double and treble ax much work as ai present, and hard material will do aix or seven \u2018limes the work.Experiments had shown that a tool made of the new worked on very hard mutor day and & half without re whereas tools made of exis: needed re-grinding at least five tire a day.inventor admitiel that the new steel was more expontive than that at present used, put denied a report that it would neveusitute drastic alterations in machinery, TROUBLE IN THE MINE WORKERS UNION Turmoil and Bickering Marked the Proceedings in the Convention Yesterday.Indianapolis, Int, Feb.4\u2014Efiorts of the United Mine Workers of the United States and Canada to exclude {from its proceedings controversy of | personal nature between fractional lead- ern seem futile.Early in today\u2019s session a resolution was adopted that all speakers on resolutions or motions must ennfine themselves strictly \u201cto the subject in hand, but neverthe- loss the day wae ong of turmoil and bickering, President Lewis this after noon charged delegate Peter Quinn, of [Hinois, with having practically called him n liar.The stenographic record of the debate was read, but the incident did not develop further.The convention adopted a resolution | ta the effect that the National Executive Board had exceeded its authority in suspending the officers of the Indiana district for having disobeyed an order that the miners should return to work in the Hudson mine pending the adjustment of the strike there.This was practically a reversal of the Convention's action of a j few days ago approving President : Lewis\u2019 action in the matter, and indi- \u201center that the delegates will pans

Hospital Dined on Metal, Stone and Glass With Much Gusto, Montreal, Feb.4.\u2014As showing the ability of a person to perform ge» tronomio leats, and also as showing capacity to which the human stomach can be made the receptacle of articles not usually consid among the list of food commodities, a state ment made by Dr.Burgess, medical superintendent of the Protestant Hospital for the Insane in his report to the annual meeting of that body yes terday places one of the late patients in that institution in the front rank of human ostriches, for nothing seems to have come amiss in the way of metal, stone or glass.An operation had to be performed for gastrotomy, and the stomach was found to contain the following: Three bundles of broom fibre, oné¢ piece of whalebone, eight inches long; one piece of insulating tape, «even inches long; one bundle of bair, one four inch nail and a piece of wire bound with string, one three inch nail with a piece of cloth attached, one piece of wird four inches long, one button hook, six pieces of tobacco pipe stem.twenty-one tobacco lags, thirty-one small pieces of wire, four screws, one paper faster, one boot-tye, two plum stones, one piste of twisted pie- ture wire, nine pieces of glass, nine pieces of iron, one steel spring, one iron nut, two piscen of stone (one half an inch square, the other an inch long by balf an inch wide and half an inch thick) twenty-seven pins, [live ona inch mails, fifty-two two inch nails, seven two and a half-inch nails.thirty-two (hres inch nails, one five inch nail.one horseshoe nail, four tacks and four hairpins.Until a few days prior to the operation no suspicion was entertained that the patient, who had been an inmate of the hospital for nearly nine years, was indulging in an indigestible diet, the articles having heen secretly picked up and swallowed when out on the grounds.Thé formation of an abscess owing to one of the pieces of wire swallowed puncturing the wall of the stomach first drew attention to the cause.Death from peritonitis followed five days alter the operation.FEATHER WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP New Orleans, La., Feb.4.\u2014-Abe Attell, of California,\u201d found no dilfi- culty in reteining the featherweight championship when he met ie Kelly, of Buffalo, in a scheduled ten round bout before the South Athletic Club here to-night.At the start Kelly assumed the aggressive but was unable to administer any effective punishment to Attell.When Kelly came up for the seventh round Attell sent him to the floor four times in quick succession and his s, seeing that hie could mot last longer, gave up the fe on.0., Feb.4\u2014~Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland, and Johnny Whitaker of Akron, featherweights, boxed twelve rounds here to-night.No decision was given, in order to avoid possible legal complications, but Kilbane outpointed his opponent all the way.There was no interference by the authorities.me ae ems ROBBER IN A TRUNK Paris, Feb.4\u2014The other day two men drove up in an automobile to the ion at Savigny-Faye, near Poitiers, and deposited a large trunk with Mme.Simon, the innkeeper.They asked the woman for permission to leave the trusk in an upstairs room until night, when they promised to call for it.Mme.Simon, who was alone at the time, consented.Tem o'clock came and the visitors did not appear, and the woman began to think of closing up and going to bed.At this moment two gendarmes came along.They inquired why the inn was being kept open after the prescribed hour.Nme.Simon told them the story of the trunk, and the gendarmes, their - curiosity aroused, decided to examine it.It was long and very heavy, and the men decided to open it.Inside they found, lying at full length, a powerful built man, who was with a loaded revolver and two daggers.The gendarmes shut the trun | on their prisoner and rat on the lil until ropes were brought, when the trunk was tied up, hoisted upon a wheelbarrow, and wheeled to the police station.When the man\u2019s companions returned to the inn somewhat later they were also arrested.There is little doubt that the men concealed in the trunk had intended robbing, if not al murdering, the innkeeper some time during the night and to escape in the automobile with his companions.LONDON'S IMMENSITY, London !

exercising the right specially provided for it by the Mother Country.\u201d There are two things fn these remarks bearing upon the present controversy respecting the Waterways Treaty.The first is that the British Ambassador at Washington will not sign any treaty in which a colony is concerned without the sanction of tlie Government of the colony interested, and the second is, what is not, we believe, generally known that, owing to a certain amount of dissatisfaction expressed in the Dominion over the decision in the Alaskan Boundary question, the Imperial Government has \u201centered into an agreement with the United Siates specially providing tbat no treaty in which any of the British Colonies wan concerned should be binding until the consent of that colony wus first oblained.\u201d It seems to us that no more effeciual means of nafe- guarding the colonial rights and giving expression to the colonial wishes could well he devised, and.that the impatience manifested on the present occasion would not have heen shown if the public generally had heen aware of these facts.The Imperial Government has done all that it can, all graceful nor dignified on the part of this country.Neither, we are convinced, would it have been raised, had the public beer fully cognizant of the facts of the case, and aware that the Government, in spile of its dlaclaimer of official we are assnred hy the explanations iesvied by the Foreign Office, rujiported ing of the surgeons whose names were associated with the early operations, among them Dr.W.T.Bull and Dr.Charlea McBurney, and the prominence ol the Nirst patients, gave a wide impetus to the surgical treatment of the disease.How many tens of thousands of appendices were sacrificed to science during the decade from 1590 to 1900 is a subject for curious speculation.The first flush of appendicitis surgery han long since passed.The knile is now less often resorted to, having given way to medical and hygienic treatment.One regrettable feature of the scare is the survival of a popular fear of grapes, raisins, figs and other reed fruits an a predisposing cause of inflammation of the appendix.The faul- fshness of this view in shown hy the fact that of 1,000 cases treated at Johns Hopkins Hospital only four revealed the presence of foreign lwxlies Far more conducive to appendicitis than food substances re violent exertion, bruises, exposure to cold and digestive disturbances dus to the intestines.framerate JUST LIKE SIR WILFRID.The heated dircussion touching the exact terms of Mr.Borden's telegram, a few days

December 15th, was uot objected to by our committee so far as the country west of the St.Maurice is concerned, but on account of the different climatic conditions, it was resolved to oppose such a cha: in the distriet of Quebec.În regard to the partridge law, it was decided to ask total prohibition of killing for a per iod of two years.he committes resolved to support the proposed prohibition of cold storage of birds, animals or game fish, after the time a!- lowed by law for the disposal of the same, and also to declare itsell favorable to the extension for two more ears of the close season for beaver, Several members of your committee accompanied the Montreal delegation at their interview with the ister, and while supporting the majority of the latter's recommendations, dissented from the proposal to shorten the big game season in Eastern Quebec, Tho Minister sided with our view of this season in his legislation and left the law as it was.No action was taken in regard to cold storage matters or to the killing of partridges, but the killing of beaver and the sale of partridges were both prohibited for a further period of two years.so that the majority of our suggestions were adopted.At a meeting of the Committee of Management of the Association, held on the 25th of last March, the Association waa affiliated with the North American Fish and Game Protective Association, and thus we are now in a position to benefit by (he ramifica- » | tions of this latter throughout the ad- - | jacent States and Provinces, and by the co-operation of their respective authorities.À case in point is the following :\u2014 One of our members, Mr.J.B.Townsend.jr\u2026 of Philadelphia, recently forwarded to your Secretary, a somewhat voluminoun record concerning the brutal slaughter of two cow 8t.Paul | MDOS in September, 1906, in the district of Temiscouata, by two so-called sportsmen from the State of New York, who have not reappeared in the Province rinre it became known that information had been sworn against them and warrants issued for their arrest.It is understood that they have, since their alleged offences, ve- cured hunting licenses in some of the inter provinces, thongh it is scarcely conceivable that these would have been jnsued had the antecedents of the applicants been known.By reason of the afiilintion above referred to, the Association was enabled to refer this subject to the North American Asnociation, which took vigorous action in the matter at ita recent meeting in Toronto and resolved to recommend to all States and provinces represented therein, to exchange information on ali aubjecte.and to, refuse licenses anywhere to thome who declined to face pending ~ accusatione of infrac- tne of the firh and game laws in any other State or Province.Information came to your Sorre- Treasurer some weeks ago that part.other game were : bring shipped in large quantities to western jui * | pointe by a couple of Montreal pro.Seturdey Night Building, Toronto.Pinion ey concerning which some PERSONAL very specific information was given.Thie information was imparted very MEN.\u2014BE BEALTHFUL, WHOLE ; confidentially and >nly on condition some, vital, successful.Investigate | that the infomner\u2019s shee of the fines our system.Ses what we have done | should go to the party furnishing it.The Association wan therefore, un the necessity of taking the métier up itsel!, and your tary personally accomp the Moutesal officer who the premises Share Ade birds ame warden who accompanied your Secretary declared that many of the dealers are selling and shipping these prairie chickens as partri , and that mumbers of people are bu: and using them, paying fan rices therefor, under de impression Pe they are receiving and eating Canadian partridges.Many of the hen rds ure scarcely larger than large grouse, and it almost requires an expert to distinguish the different coloring of the plumage.As in the past, a very large number of complaints bave been investigated during the year.In the counties of Lotbinniere and M tic, a number of convictions have obtained for the illegal slaughter of moose and deer, chiefly through the exertions of our worthy president, E.G.Joly de Lotbiniere, Esq.The association also took the initiative in the case of il- al moose killing at Manmau, in which the ends of justice were defeated in a most inexplicable manner hy the sudden disappearance of tangible proof.,At St.Philomene successful Prosecutions were instituted against three illegal slayers of red\u2019 deer.On the north shore our guardian has seized a quantity of beaver and other skins taken in the prohibited season | and they were duly declared forfeited and sold for the benefit of the Crown.The regular weekly reports of our guardian for this district, are produced herewith, showing his movements during bis cugugemenl hy the association.Many hunters\u2019 packs of furs have been opened and examined by him and numerous packages In transit by freight end express were : also overhauled in (he expectation of finding illegal shipments of partridges.None of the Jatter have been found, owever, neither on the trains of the North Shore roads.nor yet on boats or on thé cars of the Intercolonial or Quebec Central Railwaye.Any illegal shipments that have been made have ! probably been sent th as bag- | gage, which is always difficult and more or less unsafe, for our officers to examine.Two defendants uw lot te were prosecuted hy ¢ for fishing on the spawning beds in the Montmorracy River after the close of the season, Both were condemned and paid the fines and costs imposed.One of the members of our committee drew my attention to a paragraph in a loeal paper rerurti.a large kill of ducks from a Pariy on oard of a gasoline yacht ou the river last fall.The matter was thoroughly investigated and it was found that no witnesses wers available for prosdenting the case, as the party of yachtsmen had no crew aboard.having run the hoat themselves, and being all credited with a share of the shooting.Moreover, there is reason to belisve that the iHegal act was committed in iguor- ance of the law, and that the enquit- ies which 1 sulted from the publication of the alleged facts will effectually prevent any repetition of the offence.The killing of a moose last spring in the vicinity of the Amabalish Club's limits was traced to an individual in whose possession wes found the green hide of the animal by our guardian, Clairey.Action wan taken before Judge Vallee at Roberval, and when the case was fixed for proof.the defendant'e attomey took out a writ of prohibition against both the Judge and Clairey, from the Superior Court, ot Chicoutimi, attacking both the jurisdiction of the Judge and the service ol the summons.We wers fessionally advised to desist from further prosecution of the case.not only because of the doubtful issue of the proceedings on the writ before the Superior Court, and of its coatly character, but also because the trouble and costs to which the defendant had already been avoid the straight issue of his case, was likely to prove a suificient de terrent from further offences of the kind.Three different charges, arising out of the illegal killing of moose in the rear of Kamouraska County, are at present pibjudice at River-du-Loup, and illustrate the difficulties which your association has to contesd with in the prosecution of such cases.Witnesses who had been served with sub- poemas deliberately kept out of the way of the eourt, and bench warrants have bad to ba issued for their arrest.Snaring has been proved tn be a practice in the district relerred to, but as witnesses to tha setting of them are not at present available, the charge of illegally having carceses or portions thereof in possession in the close season has been hrought.A number of harer offered for out of seapon were confiscated and sent to a gharitable institution.The good faith the dealer had been imposed upon by an erroneous version of the game laws which he produced in proof of his indignant proteet that he was not acling in violation of the law.Not only shops but market stalls and grocers\u2019 yards frequented hy country peopls with produce for sale have been visited on behalf of the aseocia- sale tion on | several occasions.and information that partridges had been offered for nals by country people passing Montmorency on their way to town from the vicinity of Baie St.Panl, caused the oxamination of manv sleigha on the Boanport Road or in the yards in St.Roche into which they were driven.Public announcement has been made of the fact that over seventy fish and game guardians, who were in receipt of small salaries running from $25 to $100 per annum, have heen dismissed by the Minister of Colonisation, Mines and Fisheries.Some hundreds of such guardians have been no paid for a number of years past, and though some of them were undoubtedly excellent officials.the general impression han prevailed that the great majority of them rendered practically no return for the amounts them.Sharing this impression, our asencia- words of a resnlotion of the 28th tion has persistently, and as late as two years ago, urged the Government, in the January, 1907, \u201cto do away with all emall salaried wardens who neglect their duties, replacing them by a small number of well-paid men.\u201d A number of local sportsmen, including the members of your com: creditors, xl tories of the said compan: called for the ninth day of at ten of the clock in the

P.K.HUNT, Fropristor.Manager.Ottawa, Feb.3.~The House talked of fish during the whole of ta-day's sitting, The upshot ul the talk was that the Government accepted à ro- solution moved by W, Sinclair, of Guyshoto, wo the effect that it was wdvisable to appoint à solect standing committee of the House to deal with the yuestions relating to marine and fisheries.The question in not hy any means a uew one.During the last two sessions of the lato Parliament W.Sinclair pressel the matter.The talk brought out rome surprising siate- ments from Opposition members that American \u201cfishermen snapped their fingers at the three-mile limit regulations, and in the rare instances of the seizure of vessels they were released on the payment of a small fine.The House gut into an interesting debate over the level crossings bill of Mr.E.A.Lancaster.\u2018This bill, which has passed the Commons unanimously three times in past sessionx, and has heen thrown back contemptiuously by the Senate, was unanimously concur rel in committee of the whole on Monday and morely awaited the for- wality of a third reading.To the evident surprise of members on buth aidés, Hon.(.P.Graham axked that the hill stand over, ne he was con sulting with the Chairman of the Railway Commission with a view of coming to a definite and tangible decision ax to tho bast means of dealing with level crossings.This did not meet with Mr.Lancaster's approval at all, and he warmly contend- el that it was strauge the minister should attempt to block & méasura.on which the House had pronounced it- sell three times unsiiimouvaly.Again.Mr.Lancaster, with all due raspect to the Chairman of the Railway Commission, insisted that it was for l'ar- lament to make the laws for the commission to carry out.Mr.Borden remarked that the Government had had a yesr in which to consult the Railway Commission.Why not pass the bill and send it to the Senate and then incorporate in it any reasonsble recommendations made by

declaring that he had not the slightest intention of blocking the bill, He had asked Chairman Mabeo, of the comission, to put his views in the form of a bill.Mr.Lancaster held out the threat that il the Goveramsent tlelayed the matter of dealing with the deadly level crossing any longer the public ol Canads would take the thing into their own hands and if the sixty- mile au hour trains thundered over level crossisçs diaregurding the saloty of the public it would nat be surprising if thero were a derailment or two Æ some parts of the country.Jt was at this juncture that the diplomacy of Sir Wiltrid Laurier put an wnd to some ugly talk.The Premier believed Mr.Lancaster had the sympathy of every man in the House and country in his efforts to lessen an evil ofl an \u201cappalling nature, which: ust be stopped.The Senate in the past hat thrown out the bill because it was drastic, and it was a question if Ni.Lancaster's bill, if br t into of- fret, could he complied with by the railway companies.Mr.Lancaster would loss nothing by letting the third reading stand over for a few days until the views of (he Railway Commission bad been got.He promised Mr.Lancaster that it would not Jose its place on the order paper, but would bo called to-morrow and again on Thursday next.On this understanding Mr.Tancaster agreed the skies clears again.To-morrow the Government and Opposition will

which; contains the report of J.B.Hunter, the deputy minister, shows that the Government is carrying out in some instances the recommendations of the Tragsportatiyn Commission, chiefly improving the principal harbors on the Great lakes.the Bt.Lawrence aud Atlantic and Pacific coasts, The improvements of the principal ports had been proceeding with av great a moasure of expedition as circumstances would permit.In Montreal, for instance, from 1904 to 1908, $520,410 had Leen expended, compared with $503,536 from 1899 to 1903.Mr.Hunter goes on to eay that it is well also to empbasize the fact that in the construction of her national poris Canada is profiting by the experience-gained at the older harbors of Europe, and is laying out ja each ease a comprehensive scheme of development, the commencement of which can be mdded to uniformly from time to time as the development of the country proceeds, and the needs of trade warrant.There has beets a vast increase in shipping from the Great Lakes to sea.Boston and New York have lost the European grain trade to Montreal.St.John is now in a position success fully to compete with Portland for the winter trace, and the Canadian route ie

which took place at Quebec i Rink last evening, Bt.George and St.Patrick's being the contending teams.The two teams cut out a fast pace right from the start, and never let up for a minute until the final whistle proclaimed St Geo the winners with the score 4 to 2 in their favor.Practically every man on the ice with the exception of the goal tends, were inclined to mix it up, and each in turn was given one or more ses sions at the fence, penalties being of frequent occurrence.In fact there was hardly a minute that men from one side or the other, were not hiber- unting with the timers, and at one period, there were no less than four nen resting there, two from each side, while on more than one occasion St.Patrick's found themselves playing five men to their opponents seven, and for very few minutes did they have their full seven on the ice in the vecond period.Malone was the heaviest eufferer, particularly in the racontd half, when he was banished on two or thres occasions, almost the moment he had returned.His infractions were for the most part of a , trivial nature, and he appearing io come under the official's eye for of- : fences which the more finished stick : handlers escaped unnoticed.St.George's ability to stay on the | ice, went a long way towards giving \u2018them victory, a victory that was well | eatned.From goal out they played | a splendid game, the defence rvpulsin attack after attack, and the forwa: ! coming back finely to their aasist- ance.In this department they had it on St.Patrick's, whose lighter line seemed powerless to get away, ot failed to bore in when they sw Only once did they show the combination they are capable of, and that was when they scored their second game in the last fifteen minutes, coming down together from the face and doing the trick right neatly.This made the score three to two and their supporters expected them to qren it up, but they had shot their t.St.Patrick\u2019s were the first to score, St.George getting the second within the minute, and another before hail time.Their third came after ten minutes of play in the second half, and after St.Patrick\u2019s got a second, they made it four to two.President

Champion Coming to Canada\u2014Even Betting on Longboat, Toronto, feb.3\u2014Things are certainly warming up around here anent the Shrubb-Longboat race.The race is again the talk of the town.Tom Flansgan left last night at the urgent request of Pat Powers, who says his presence gives the Indian confidence, and that he wants him to be on the track with him in the race.Flanagan, however, still insists that he is through with the Indian for good, and that he will watch the race from a box seat.From both training camps morning come reports saying their men are in the pink and ready for the big race.How much of this in absolute truth is bard to tell from here, but the fact remains that Longboat, sick or well, will face the starter, unless something decidedly serious develops between now and Friday.On top of this comes a Canadian Associated Press cable from England saying that Fred Appleby, Shbrubb'e conqueror at 15 miles, will sail for Canada on February 11, to run the winner of the Shrubb-Longhoat race.With Duncan threatening to come over and Fred Aldrich turning \u201cpro.\u201d in England, it begins to lock as il there would be lively doings in long distance running on both sides of the water sll summer.Tt Icke from bere na if the reports of Longhoat's good condition are all inepi by P.T.Powers\u2019 good side camp, Harry Pollock.No one from Toronto seems to have meen the Indian personally, or to have been nt his training trials.He may be patched up for racing purposes, but it does not seam reasonable to suppose that he can beat such a cracker-jack us Alf.Shrubb unless he is at concert this that | pitch.Public opinion here is backing and filling on the proposition.The fact is that to-day thers is considerable Longboat money floating around at even money.Those who are backing the Indian ars \u201cwise guys,\u201d who claim these reports of the Indian's poor condition were circulated for the purpose of influencing the betting.+ + + VAIR WITH WANDERERS.Montreal, Feb.4\u2014It will bs a toes w between Joe Hall, of Brandon, and teve Vair, of Renfrew, for the centre ice position on the Wanderer team to line out against Ottawa at the Arena Saturday night.Following the announcement from Ottawa during the day that Vair had been reinstated in the Federal on condition that he would not play with a club other than Renfrew again, word wan received here last night that Vair was leaving Renfrew and would be in Montreal this morning.Hall will also arrive this morning, and the two will be out for practice at the Arena this evening, when the champions will have their final workout.Vair, it is said, will be with Wanderers for the rest of the season, and with Hall also here, the club will be in a position to face the hard finish expected to their E.C.H.A.series, and possible Stanley Cup matches.Vair is said to be joining Wanderers with the full consent of the Renfrew Club.Renfrew and Wanderers have been talking over an exhibition match which, may be played here during the Carnival period, but so far no ar rangements have been completed.+++ PRIMITIVE FOOTBALL.With Gosls Miles Apart Whole Parishes Would Take Part in Game.It ie interesting to read descriptions of the game of football as it was played in the olden times.In Carew\u2019s day, two, three or more parishes would challenge two or three other arishes.The goal was houses or vil.ages two or three miles apart, and the side (bat reached the goal with the ball, whether by brute force or strategy, won the game.Bystanding villagers would inform the straggling players where the ball was being played, by crying, \u201cWare east ! \u2018Ware west !\" etc.e players, or \u201churlers,\u201d as they were called, ran over \u201chills, dales, hedges, ditches, yen, and through bushes, briars, mires, plashes and rivers whatsoever, so as you shall sometimes see 20 or 30 lie tugging together in the water, scrambling and scratching for the ball.\u201d Sometimes a whole town was us an a field and the party with the ball would sneak around corners and al leys in order to lose their opponents and gain the goal.One writer save he was \u201cnot a little amused to see, upon entering Teddington, all the inhabitants securing the glass of their front windows by placing hurdles before them and some by nailing laths.\u2018At Twickenham, Bushy and Hampton Wick they were all engaged in the same way.Having to atop 8 few hours at Kingston I had an oppor tunity of seeing the whole custom At sbont 12 o'clock the ball in turned loose and those who cam, kick it.1 observed some pernons nf respectabil- tty following the hall.The game lasts about four hours, when the parties retire to the public houses.\u201d Football has had as turbulent and warlike & history as ls the game it self.As far back ns 1814 it was ox: ressly forbidden bv Edward II.and \u2018in 1399 another net was passed by | Richard IT, outiawing the sport.This statute was re-enacted at various intervals by succesding monarchs and twice during the reign of Rlinaheth lamation war made that no \u201cInle Fate play be used or suffered within the city of London and the liberties thereof, upon pain of imprisonment.\u201d + ++ INTERERTING BOWLING MATCH.There will be a bowling match he tween the Civil Service and the Colte on the Y.MC;4.allers on Mopdv ~ { f BYGONE AND PRESENT RING

In the modern times of the guaran- tes - me-the-sarth-win-loss~or-draw mittman it is different.They get into shape signing a long contract with B.F.Keith or William Morris.Look at Jefries and Johnson, who sre supposed to be gnashing teeth at each other.Johnson will shortly leave for England with his bulging out with music-hall contracte.Jeff is now filling an engagement on the road, and has just signed a new document which calls for bim t3 appear twenty weeks in the East far the modest honorarium ol 350,000, which is all another great fighter living in Washington got for meeting all comers during & whole year !
