DEBTS OF (Special to Ottawa, Jan.20 Lib, wuravangance which 3 made against the present go rt were blown into the air today/When Hon, W.T.White, in a rly speech reviewed the present.cial situation in Canada, disproved absolutely the Liberal canards, showed: that the present government \u2018waë beating a legacy of debt fram-fih predecessors and that the present: 0 Opposition for free $& ing other than Free Trade in another guise and a reincarnation ef the reciprocity rejected fs 19.1.Hon.Mr.White showed conclggively that it had taken the surplus {venue of this government to repair takes made by their predecessors th office, and that this would contines for some time to come, He showed that in the matter of \u201cImplementing\u201d the bonds of the Grand 0} Pacific, a colossal Laurier blunde¥, fhe sum of twenty-two millions had aféady been required and there would je ten .millions more yet needed fof the same purpose.Canada's Net D The net debt of took office in 1911, was 000,000,\u201d he said.\u201cThe net debt bn December 31, 1913, was $303.000 (100 or eighteen millions less than wien we took when he office.\u201d (Conservative rs).He added that at the end \u2018Bf the fiscal year 1914, despite the fighncial coridi- tions, the natipnal debt gould he less than three years ago ing the last four years of the Lib administration the debt bad i sed $76,- 000,000, In 1909 aldme the net debt increased $46,000,000; During the 13 mouths from December, 1967, to.January, 1909, a period of money stringency, hig predecessor, Hon, W.8.Fielding, had borrowed the staggering sum of $100000,000, and of this amount $S000R000 was borrowed in of this fact, Mr.Pulling, de editor ed the government for its recent borrowings When he considered the fact that the National Transcontias estimated, had cost over $200,000,- 000, and when he considered the.borrowings of his predecessor he could not help but think that Satan rebuking sin, would be consistency itself, compared with the honorable gentie- man.The present year, he said, had been an exceptional one.He had to take care of estimates of $205,000,000.There was $12,000,000 subsides, half the Grand Trunk Pacific loan had to be paid and in addition he had bought Grand Trunk Pacific bonds at $22,- 000,000.In addition there were maturities of some £5000000, so that the total borowings were $43,000,000.Cost of Living.Dealing with the cost of living, the Finance Minister showed that it was a world-wide condition, the solution of which in Canada would best be found in increased production which the government would endeavor to stimulate by every possible attention to the needs of agriculture.There was a depression in Canada today but the light was beginning to break.Money was moving easier, the promise of agriculture should be good in the spring and with these conditions the country should quickly resume its wanted stride, though the Canadian people would be wise to mix caution with their confidence.\u201cPres Food\u201d Catchword.The Minister of Finance was equally precise in dealing with Sir Wilfrid Laurier's \u201cfree food\u201d policy.\u201cMy own view is that free food means free trade,\u201d said the Finance Minister.\u201cI believe that it involves a reversal of the policy followed by the late administration and by the administration which preceded it.This Government believes in a reasonable protection where needed in order that industries may be built up.That should include not only manufacturing industries, but also the farming industry.From time to time there will be changing conditions to meet but.to consider downward revision in a year of slack trade would only dislocate the industry of the country, and so far as f know there is no publie opinion in favor of general revision at this time.\u201d The G.T.P.Eastern Section.Hon, Frank Cochrane, Minister of Railways, has given notice of a resolution to extend for one year the time allowed for the completion of the prai- tie section of the Grand Trunk Pacifie Railway, and the taking over of the eastern section of the National Transcontinental.IT TAKES SURPLUBSEVENUE | the 5 th ;

otherwise, they would be automatically extended.Apparently it is the intention of the Government to abandon the revision of the treaties in the fear of a por- tentious struggle between the advocates of a tariff in which no loopholes are to be found, and the reformers storming against high dutics on foodstuffs.FER ER SEE The Weather Toronto, Jan.20\u2014The disturbance which was approaching the lake region last night has moved slowly south-eastward and is centred tonight south of Lake Erie.Snow and sicet have fallen today over Ontario as far east as Kingston, while in other parts of the Dominion the weather has been fair and cold.Min.Max.Victoria .eee 38 46 Vancouver .40 Kamloops .28 Calgary .\u201c8 10 Edmonton .\u2026 \"2 4 Battleford .6 10 Melicine Hat .\u201cIR 8 Moose Jaw .*8 1 Regina .L.\u2026.0000000 +5 .Winnipeg .ee 22 10 Port Arthur .\u2026 2 12 Parry Sound .18 22 London .\u2026 8 35 Toronto .\u2026 2 3 Kingston .eres 26 2 Ottawa .wo.R 16 Montreal .6 8 Quebec .0.* nw St.John .\u201c 2 2 Halifax .00000000 12 26 Forecasts: Lower Lakes and Georgian Bay:\u2014 Strong northeeasterly to northerly windi;

reference to the famous Cotton Csw which has created such a stir among the legislators.Mr.Casgrain points out that the supplants, the executors of the Cotton estate, did not * 2uil in the Superior Court of Appesls Ha this Province as that court held the Quebec Succession Duties Act would Se unconstitutional if it purported to fmgese à duty on moveable property situstad outside the Provisce.When the case was taken to the Supreme Court ef Canada the Court divided, tha judgment of the Quebec courts otgading cenfrmed in favor of the Expentors of the esiate in regard to de succession of the wile aad being sed in regard ta the succession of she husband.Both pasties then appealed to the judicial committee of the Privy Council which declared the Quebec law ultra vires and uncon- atftutional on the ground that the tax tmposed was an indirect tax.Mr.Casgrain, in addition, states that the Succession Duties Act enacted in 1902 when he was chief legal adviser to the Crown of this Province was declared eonstitational by all the judges who ot on the case in Canada.THE SENATE Mr.Borden has thrown down the gauntlet to the 3enate and in this he will have the stipport of the general public.- Last session the unscrupul- ené Liberal perty united forces with te irresponsible \u201csecond chamber\u201d snd bade defiance to the people in the matter of the Navel Aid and Good Roads bills, in both of which ques- sons it came directly and obviously into eonflet with publie sentiment Using ite influence with the partisan Liberel majarity in the Senate, which sutside of its members and those whe eupite to become its members, and à dar politiciens, is probably without a Glend or defender in the country, it prevailed on them to exercise their tives.During the prestat session of portiement the number of eemators i growth in the popalation of the west- ers provinces, ss shown in the decen- \u2018miel consus of 1911.There will hence- the Sonate twenty-four members epch =the Maritime Provinces, Quebec, Ontario and the West.The enlargement of the representation of the West will give twe more senators cach to the three prairie provinces\u2014Mani- nitobe, Saskatchewan and Albertaand three mers te British Cotambia.Following the cumom of his prede- cogger, # may be assumed that Mr.Borden will appoint none but Conservatives for some time to come\u2014at least until the unfsverable and unfair balgsen is reûtesced.Nine new Con servatives frog the West will bring she entice number of Conservatives in the Senats up to forty, lagving still an adverse majority of pixteen.We suppose an insurance actuary might tell ue with some degree of accuracy about how long it would take for sixteen Liberal sengtors to pass away, and their places to be taken by Conservatives.Already in the present year, one sent\u2014that held by a very distinguished financier, the Îste Senator Cox\u2014has been vacated.Perhaps for the present purpese a rough calculation may be encompassed by observing \u2018the number of senators, regardless of party, who have been appointed within recent years.Taking the Tast three xpers only, we find that in 1011 aix semators were sppointed, in 1912 seven, and is 1913 five.If & similar rate of mertality were to prevail during the next three years, cighteau new sematars would be appointed duriag that period or mare than the number required to turn the scale.THE DUTY ON FOODSTUFFS.Prohebly st no time in his career bas Sir Wilfrid Laurier delivered himself of so weak and futile a speech as when he moved the amendment criticising the Borden Government because of the present high cost of Jiving.Of course, he was badly handicapped by his past record and because the situation which he now blames was largely due to his own regime.And, as Mr.Borden pointed out, the Leader of the Opposition suggests nothing.He is like a rudderless ship.He hardly knows what his policy is.It bas changed two or three times during the last month or so.Already he is beginning to reconsider his cheap clap trap about \u201cfree fond.\u201d He used this ery a Jot when he was bidding for office before and in \u201896 when He promised us \u201cfree trade as they have it in England.\u201d But at the same time he made a secret compact with the \u201cbig interests\u201d and betrayed the electors who thought he was going to remove the taxes.What is the sense of his suggesting the removal of the taxes now, when he was fifteen years in power and did not tamper with them.All he did was to appoint 3 commissipn headed by Mr.Fielding to investigate the canditiqns and the result was that the tariff which he attacked while out of power was maintained by him when in power.The National Policy which had been introduced by the Conservatives snd which has proved to be the mainstay of the country, although bitterly condemned by him before \"96.was accepted by him after.Lauriers demagogic catch-cry of \u201cburdensome taxation\u201d and his promises of \"free food\u201d will not carry much weight with any thinking Canadian.Rvery intelligent inhabitant of the Dominion knows that in this construe- tive and progressive age the country is in need of large publie revenues for the establishment and equipment of needed public services and that it is Sliver volving Dighes, Tes ( Eaglish Mal-Marked Solid \u2014\u2014 \u201c Mao French Brosses Fagish Chime

to make up the table of the average Canadian-\u2014meats and poultry, eggs, fish, butter and breadstuffs\u2014and by \u2018analyxing the amount of duty paid for their importation into Canada der- ing the year 1912-13, just see bow much the consumer \u201cgroans\u201d under their taxation, In 1913 the total duty collected from mests and poultry brought into Canada totalled $1,040,547.If you divide this amount among a population of sight million, yon will find thet thia terrible taxation of meat wnder which, so the Liberals tell us, the consumer \u201cgroans,\u201d amounted fn 8 whole year to the enormous sum of thirteen cents per head, \u2014or the price of about half a pound of beef-steak Now lst us gee about eggs.The duty \u2018collected from eggs imported during the year 1912-13

war, that of investing a force vastly superior in numbers, within a strongly intrenched position.It was adopted and has been maintained from a confident expectation that with the co-operation of your squadron, a combined attack, ere this could have been effected on the enemy at Fort George, with every prospect of success.To the local disadvantages of the positions occupied by our army, have unhappily been added disease and desertion to a degree, calling for immediate remedy.You are, therefore, required to proceed, with the fleet under your command with the least possible delay to the head of the lake, affording sufficient convoy to the small vessels containing those stores and supplies of which the army is in the most pressing want.Upon your arrival near the headquarters of the centre division, you will consult with Major-General de Rottenburghwho will unite in his person.the civil and military command in Upper Canads, upon my withdrawing from the province, or upon the eligibility of a combined attack, for the purpose of dislodging the enemy from the position of Fort George, by a rapid forward movement of the army, bringing up in battery at tne same time, the heavy ordnance, mortars and Howitzers now embarked.This attack must be supported by th: countenance of your squadron, and the fire of such vessels as are armed with a description of ordnance favorable to

fancy dress carnival to be held in the new Arena took place last evening, and it was a decided success, The Costumes.There was s splendid sheet of ice, and the large surface afforded the skateré à fine oppottunity to display their respective costumes, which.was most varied and in many instances quite hangsome and costly.There were about four hundred people present in fancy costumes, and as they glided around the rink to the music of the band they presented a decidedly pretty and interesting pie- ture, one that the spectators seemed to hexrtily enjoy.So many of the costumes were excellent, that the judges had a difficult task in sélecting the best for which prizes were offered.It took them considerable time to pick out the winners.Eventually they came to the conclusion that the following ladies and gentlemen were entitled to the prizes in the order in which they are famed: Ladies.Scotch Girl\u2014Miss A.Letellier, Quebec Penang Girl\u2014Miss Gracie Roche.Cigarette Card

five following cases, dismissing plaintiff's action with costs: \u2014 .North Railway Company vs.Bean eu.North Railway Company vs.Siovi.North Railway Company vs.Sioui.Notth Railway Company vs.Groslouis.North Railway Company vs.Sicui.In each of these cases the plaintiff claimed from defendant, $400.00 damages and reimbursement of wages paid, alleging that in June, 1912, said company plaintiff, engaged the defendant to accompany a group of land surveyors, 8s a cook; that the defendant, with his four companions refused to obey the orders given and that in consequence, of said refusal, the expedition was sdandoned, causing losy- es and damages te the extent of $400 The defendant plasded thet the un- success of the expedition was due to the bad organization by plaintiff and that the chief of the expedition decided himeell to abandon sald expedition seeing the circumstances, lack of provisions and the lateness of the season and other causes, set forth in the plea.The five actions were dismissed with costa Patracia, promises to rank with the |, Mr.H.Q'Unilipn.edveesse, wa come for Ry He n the contrary, both the Superior Court (Malonin Appeals (Jette, Chief Justice, and Lavergne, Trenholme, Carrol and Cross) held that the Quebec Succession Duties Act would be unconstitutional if it purported to impose a tax on moveable property situated outside of the Province.In the Supreme Court of Canada, the Court divided, the Chief Justice and Judges Davies and Anglin holding that us regards the estate of Mrs.Cotton, who died in 1902, it was regulated by the original statute of 1802 which did mot affect moveable Property situated outside the Provinee; the Chief Justice and Judges Idington, Duff and Brodeur holding as regards the estate of Henry Cotton who died in 1906 that it was regulated by the amending statute of that year which purported to reach moveable property physically situated outside the Province, the owner of which was, at the time of his death, domiciled in the Province.The position then was this: The judgment of the Quebec courts stood confirmed in favor of the executors of the estate in regard to the succession of the wife and reversed in regard to the succession of the husband.Both parties thereupon appealed to the judicial committee of the Privy Council with the result that Their Lordships declared the iaw ultra vires and unconstituaional on the ground that the tax imposed was an indirect tax.In view of a statement recently made in the Legisiature, I desire to state that the Succession Duties Act enacted in 1892, when had the honor of occupying the position of chief legal adviser - to the Crown in this Province, was declared constitutional by al! the Judges who sat in the case ii Canada.one Judge of the Superior Court, five Judges nf the Court of King's Bench, and six Judges of the Supreme Court.Yours truly, TH.CHASE CASGRAIN.of Counsel for the Executors of the \"Cotton Estate.RECORDER'S COURT.In the

course, the best known in Quebec of the five stars that will appear at Friay's concert at the Auditorium, but the four others, with the exception ot Miss Ethel Gilmore, the premiere danseuse, have already made their bow to the Quebec public.Mr.Crescendo is probably the tenor that had made the best hit in our city before Slezac sang here and to say that he is still remembered by those who were present at Signor Pini Corsi's concert is the best advertisement one can make of the coming one.Mr.Spirescen is not only a very talented pienist; he is also one of the best musicians, one of the best

Mademoiselle Crespi is the young virtuose that our theatre.goers so much appreciated a few weeks ago only.As for Ethel Gihnore, a Canadian girl, those who did not have the opportunity of seeing her in Montreal, bave heard of her and know already that she is a premiere danseuse in every way worthy of that appellation.This very brief review gives an iden of what a wonderful bill one will enjoy next

GAME ND BOS NEW YORKER TELLS CONSERVATION COMMISSION THEY MUST ACT AT ONCE Ottawa, Jan.20~-One of the most interesting features of the fifth annual meeting of the Conservation Commission which opened this morning is the fact that a wonian was one of the speakers.Mrs.H.P.Plumptre, wife of Rev.Canon Plumptre of Toronto, gave an address on the co-operation between the Conservation Commission and the Nat:evaf Council of Women, of which organization she is the recording secretary, Ladies.Would Co-operate.Mrs.Plumptre was given a most demonstrative reception.\u201cWe want to learn all we can about conservation,\u201d she said.\u201cWe want to co-operate, not compete.We are both identified with the one great aim, which is the welfare of the public.\u201cThe question of immigration is at the ront of every problem with which we deal, We, in Canada, are inviting people to come to Canada, but we have no hemes for them when they come.We say te them \u2018put a tent on the lawn until we find a

and Cermany.Hcusing and town- planning are to be taken up actively.Forest conditions in the Trent watershed were described by Dr.B.G.Vernow, dean of the Faculty of Forestry of Toronto University, and Clyde Leavitt, head of the fire protection branch, gave a report of the work he and lis assistants have done.Chairman Sifton in his annual address outlined the work of the Commission last year.Must Protect Birds.The necessity for immediate action on the part of Canada and its provinces, if game and insectivorous birds are to be saved from extermination in the near future, was emphasized by Mr.W, S.Haskell of New York, counsel for the American Game Protective and Propagation Association in an address this afternoon.With the perfection of the modern fire-arms the slaughter of migratory game birds has been greatly accelerated in recent years and some of the species, notably wild pigeons and some of the cranes, have been exterminated.The countless thousands of pigeons, which even fifty years ago darkened the sky, while making their migratory flights, have entirely dicappeared.The great railway lines scross the prairies have opened for settlement the finest duck breeding grounds on the continent and the result has been their practical extermination In certain sections.Apart from their value for sport, the economie importance of many species of migratory birds, which prey upon injurious insects, constitutes a suffi- sient reason for their protection and in recognition of this fact the United States Congress last March pessed the Migratory Bird Law, which provides fob the preservation and protection of insectivcrous and game birds.Recognizing, however, that the pro.blen was an international one, the Senate of the United States in July last authorized the President to negotiate a treaty with other powers, looking to the preservation and protection of migratory birds.The services of the Commission have been solicited with a view to furthering the making of the treaty and as its general intent is in accord with the policy of conservation it is receiving its hearty support, althovgh the details will, of course, be a matter of some negotia- série tn»

the Musical News.said: \u201cMiss Valentine \u2018 Crespi, a clever young violinist, was heard in a recital at Bechstein Hall, on June 14th.It was obvious from the outset that tbe young player possesses talents of à very high order; and ske exhibits a facility of execution, a chythmie conception, and a musical temperament which belongs to the upper spheres in violin playing.Her interpretation of Wilhelmi's version of Paganini's \u2018Concerto in D\u2019 alone would afforded ample proof of this, even if the pro- grame had not included Max Bruch\u2019s \u2018Concerto in G

the battleship Nevadu and several large freighters at Quincy; five vessels of from Works, two large freighters at Baltimore and five at Newport News\u2014 as well as the big battleship Pennsylvania and the battleship completing \u2014 the battleship Oklahoma, several destroyers and a number of other vessels at Camden, N.J.\u201d HIGH WATER AT QUEBEC.Januarya.m.p.m Tuesday .20 12:18 12:33 Wednesday .21 1:30 1:46 Thursday .22 2:41 2:51 Friday.23 3:44 3:51 Saturday .24 4:36 4:46 Sunday.2§ 5:2 5:34 Moon Phases.New Moon, Monday 26 th.THE TORONTO !

New York Jan.20.\u2014President Wilson's recommendations to con , gress regarding anti-trust legislation were of little effect on the stock market.For several days previously speculation was curtailed, and traders marked time pending publication of the message.It was assumed that the \u2018message would have an important part in shaping speculative sentiment, but the action of the market was dis- to.those who lookgd for an immediate response.After\u2019 the -| message appeared the market moved in the same irregular way as during the previous portion \u201cof the session, closing with a majority of small gains for the representative stocks.The apathetic attitude of the market \u2018| probably was due to the fact that the message contained no important features for which the Street was not prepared.Advices from Washington since the President's return fram the south indicated the position he was expect- which were primarily responsible for last week's advance in the market, The \u2018message closely paralleled forecasts, and traders fourid in it no new features which they could seize upon as a basis for operations.It was thought that later, when sufficient time had elapsed fpr more careful study of the message, and crystalization of sentiment, the effect upon the market might be more pronounced.At the outset the market was slightly lower, but movements were unusually parrow throughout the early session.Following publication of the President's message prices rose for a time, but when it became apparent } that little progress could be made in that direction traders sold the market, on the theory that the effect of the message had been discounted.Prices were sent down to the low level of the day, but in the last hour they were bid up strongly.Reading again reflected persistent realizing, such as has been in progress for several days.Canadian Pacific was affected by European selling, and for a time showed a loss of more than 2 points.Petroleum shares, particularly Mexican, were strong.Bonds were firm.Government, mu- pl al and some second and third e mortgages were conspicuously rong, Total sales, par value, $3,250, 000 Panama 3's registered

belongs is satisfied that such a watéh is useful for purposes of saving fife at ses.In the meantinie, the following vessels are requiféd to\u2019 maintain a continuous watch,*h sddition to all vessels placed in\u201d the first category contemplated by the' tadio-telegraph convention which \u201cincindes ll fast pas- senget steamers; Yessels of more than 13 knots spesd\u2019irhich carry 20 passengers and =m voyages of more than 500 miles bétween two consecutive ports, other passenger vessels, during the time they are more than 500 \u2018miles from land, and still other vessels engaged in the trans-Atlantic trade or whose voyages take them more than 1,000 nrfles from land.Vessels in the second category, nevertheless, are réquired to keep watch for at least seven hours a day besides a watch of ten minutes each hour.: Hundred: Mile Redios Wireless apparatus must have a range of at least 100 miles, and an emergency apparatus placed in the safest place under the main installation is in the Highest part of the ship in conditions of the grestest safety.' \u2018 The master of a ship in distress is to have the right to call for assistance, among vessels which have answered bis appeal, from those veasels which he thinks are best abie to render him assistance.The other vessels may then proceed on their voyage.Boats For Every Person, The convention lays down thst there must be.accommodation in life- ; boats of their equivalents ior all persons on board a ship.liieboats are divided into two classes, tae first of which comprises the ordinary open boats and other boats wiih fixed sides, and the second of which is composed of boats having the upper part of their sides collapsible.Every vessel must be equipped with 8 minimem number of davits or equivalent appliances, which varies according, to the length of the ship.Esch.davit mast bave à lifeboat of the first clase attached to it, and y additional] boats must be provided until provision has been made to accommodate seventy-five per cent.of the total of persons cn board.If ferthes ac:ommodation be required, it may be provided in the shape of lifebosts or approved pontoon liferafts.The convention lays down details for the stowage, comstrustion, and strength of davits, and for the construction of fifeboats and life buoys.it provides that ae large s number as possible of the boats and rafts must be capable of being launched irom either side of the ship, so that as few 28 possible need to be launched from the weather sider Special life jackets for children also must be provided.A Competent Minimum.The convention further provides that there must be & miniem number of members of the crew who are competent to headle boats and rafts.For a bost or raft carrying not more thas sixty persons, the minimum number of the crow is xed at three with additional numbers for larger boats or rafts.These men must hold a certificate of competency, issued uader Governmelst authority.The sonvemtion further provides that oll ships must be efficiently and oufficlentiy manmed from the point of view of of lie nt oqo.which open and bleed whes the skin is drawn tight?Have you a cold 80ze, Érost bite, chiiblains, 0° & \u201craw\u201d place, which at times makes & agony Sor you 10 go sbout your beusshold ole, outa, burns, bruises, e and from the Zom- Fonte Pris 20 forbidden and each administration is to issue warnings as to what goods are dangerous.For detecting fire, an organized system of patrols is called for, and the regulations require adequate provisions for extinguishing fire and for the organization of crews for fire and boat drills, All ships are to have an adequate system of lighting, to enable passengers to find their way to the exits, while the boat decks also must be well lighted.The ships of the contracting states, which comply with the requirements of the convention shall be furnished with certificates which shall be accepted by ail states as having the same value as certificates issued by them to their own ships, and as constituting prima facia evidence of compliance with the convention.The convention applies generally to ocean-going steamers carrying more than twelve passengers, with some exceptions, the most important being in regard to wireless requirements.Provision also is made for the interchange between Governments of laws and regulations, relating to safety of life at sea, and for the imposition by each Government of penalties, in case of neglect to comply with the provisions of the convention.Other countries may come into the convention up to Jan, 31.It comes into force on July 1, 1915, after eat- ification by the different states.This Removes Hairs Almost Like Magic (Helps to Beauty.) Much favorite comment is being made upon the new formula for removing disfiguring hairs.One serious objection arises and that is, any woman can employ this treatment in her own home and thus deprive the beauty specialist of her fee.For the benefit of others, the formula is here repeated: Mix some delatone with water; apply to hairy surface and in 2 or three minutes rub off and with it comes every hair.The skin should then be washed to free it from the remaining delatone.Offices: Montreal, Quebec and LE HIRENECO Stook Brokers Members of the Montreal Stock Exchang) Private Wire to Montreal and New York MoQILL BURROUGHS, 74 Peter Street - Manages, Quebec.Phome 2067.HAMEL & TESSIER CIVIL BN AND LAND SURVEYORS, Baginsere for \u201cVille Monseaim.\u201d , Water Power Development, 8 Warer Soevly.Sveaifications, § RE Inspection, ent Testing, § Surveys snd Plans for § Lee : Zo THE YEAR TOWELS Worth § cts, for 3 cts.Very pretty white towels, with fringe and red stripe, worth 6 cts for.3cts CURTAIN MUSLIN, Worth 15 cts for 8 cts.Muslin with border, very pretty pattern, assorted colors, worth 15 cts.for.sive carey oe.Sots yard FLEECED UNDERSHIRTS.For Boys, regular price 40c for 25c.Drawers and Undershirts, very good assortment of sizes, regular price 40 cts.for.25 cts.WOOLEN GLOVES 35 cts for 19 cts, Knitted Woolen Gloves, all colors for Men and Boys, worth 35 cts: during this sale.\u2026» .19 ets CORSETS.$1.00 for 69 cts.White Corsets in good Juno, latest forms, worth $1.00; for this sale.,.69 Cte \u2014_\u2014\u2014 LADIES\u2019 PETTICOATS $1.50 for $1.29, Ladies\u2019 Black Satin and Colored Petticonts, with fancy frills, worth $2.50; for.81.29 COSTUME MATERIAL Black and Navy Blue Costume materials \u201cPriestly,\u201d width 60 inches, worth $1.65; for this sale .$1.10 F.ceresesren ars vecu sens 142 St.Joseph .SIMARD & GIE.| 142 St.Joseph Street, St Roch Quebec The Second Week of Our Grest January Reduction Sale BEGINS TODAY (MONDAY) THE 19TH AT 8.50 A,M, THE ONE - | GREAT JANUARY REDUCTION SALE THAT ALL QUBEEC RECOGNIZE AS THE GREATEST VALUE OGIVING EVENT OF HERE ARE EXAMPLES TAKEN FROM HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WRITE QUILTS 81.25 for 68 cte \u2018White Quilts without fringe, size; 10x4, worth $1.25; for this sale.Bt UNDERWEAR A lot of plain or striped men\u2019s na dershirts and drawers all sizes, worth SS cts; for this sale.\u2026.37 cts rem SHEETS Sheets, size 8x4, in good plain cotton, worth $1.00; for.,.80 cts LINENI LINEN!
