Atlantic mail service would go into operation next Saturday.A despatch from Madrid to the Ca/f Mall Gazette says that in order to replace the troops that have been sent as reinforcements to Cuba, the

with respect to the rebellion in Cuba.Officials interested have been informed from sources which they deem reliable that a prominent eastern ship-building firm has agreed to furnish the insurgents a torpedo boat at an early day, which will be used to destroy the Spanish war vesse ls how cruising in Cuban w aters.New York.April 1\u2014Two arreits were made early to-day by detectives of the Central Office in connectiou with the murder of the woman whose body was found wrapped in a carpet and horribly mutilated in the court vaxd, in the New York Bank Note Com pany\u2019s building, Waverly Place and Sixth avenue, yesterday.The identity of the men is carefully concealed by Superintendent Byrnes and the detectives for the present.This is done, it is said, because both of the prisoners indicate a willingness to sate their lives by telling all they kooifr concerning the crime.Indianapolis, Ind., April 1\u2014Rear-Admiral Brown, U.S.N., arrived home yesterday on a furlough.He says the United States Navy is iu first class condition and he believes it is prepared for war in case any of the present international troubles result seriously.\u201cHowever,\" he said, \u201cI do not think any of the present questions will result seriously, as I think they have been greatly overdrawn.\u201d Fishermen of Labrador.THEY HA VE PICTURESQUE LITTLE BOATS WITH COLORED SAILS.A Labrador fishing stage usually consists of a long, low frame-house, aud little one-room huts, or \u201ctilts,'\u2019 as they are called.The house is used as a store aud dwelling for the agent of the Newfoundland merchant who has fitted up the stage.All the fishermen who occupy the tilts work for the merchant, and are paid for their fish iu provisions from the store.The tilts are Hire those seen in the Now-foundland fishing and mining outposts (every settlement in New foundland except St.John\u2019s is an outpost.) The sides are logs set Upright and supporting sod covered roofs\u2014wretched abodes at the best.Along tlie Straits of Belle ______________ ______ _____^ Isle the Labrador coast is fringed with a strip J house, but Sharp had secreted of coarse grass land, and here you may see an occasional small vegetable garden surrounded by a fish net for a fence At Blanc Sablon I saw a desolate little b'lrying-grouud amid the swaying rushes.Near by lay a couple of worn-out boats, bottom up, and nets spread over the ground to dry.Here, too, I saw for thefirst time the dapper little Labrador gasher \u2014a small fishing-craft not much larger than dory, but with sharp prow and stern, and two masts fitted with reddish brown sails.These arc telling bits of color when the gushers skim over the deep blue water, with the foam streaking along their quarters and glit tering in their wake.Altogether it was a varied scene ; the headland, from a staff on which there fluttered the flag of the merchant who owned the \u201coutfit\u201d ; the gashers dashing in and out among the punts and jacks (stoutly built two-stickers larger than che gashers) ; a fishing-schooner with furled sails, but with toil-stained nets streaming from her spars in an endless vaiiety of lights and shadows, according as the meshes twisted or bulged in the breeze ; and in the distance the exquisite green-and-white spires of an iceberg.A note of toil drones through it all, however ; for women are sawing and chopping wood while the men are hauling the nets.A curious implement of fishing in these waters is a spyglass with plain window-glass in place of a lens.A man in the bow of a fishing-boat thrusts the glass in the water, and, peering through it, discovers whether there are fish enough on the bottom to make it w\u2019orth while to anchor, for anchoring in deep water is a toilsome matter.\u2014Gustav Kobbé in April St.Nicholas.The Era of the Filthy Glove.This season might not be inaptly described as the era of the filthy glove.At matinees, afternoon receptions, church, in street cars and stages swarms of welbdressed women dtrplay hand covering so dirty as to he disgusting to a person of refined tust.i, as soiled fingers.Anions a hundred fashionably-dressed women picked out at random at any day time function there will not be more than five pairs of spotless white gloves.Women could not be induced to wear dirty lace bonnets, nor carry soiled handkerchiefs or dirty visiting cards, or wear dirt-begrimed collars and cuds.Are dirty light gloves a whit daintier or more presentable than any of the objects named \u2019 Fashion having decreed white gloves to be en rigueur, the lady from the suburban districts must also don them when she comes into town for the day\u2019s shopping.And she is to bs seen on the avenue in full chase after bargains, her appropriate cloth costume disfigured by the dirty white gloves which loudly proclaim her lack of refined taste or even of commonplace cleanliness.But theu she and the town lady belong to the sex that in the preceding generation, according to the chronicles, engaged in amateur street sweeping, substituting \u201ctrains\u201d\u2019 fur brooms, and that carried a miscellaneous assortment of rarely-if-ever-cleaned \u201crats\u201d on its head.The dirty gloves are, it must be confessed, an improvement on cither of the foregoing, and in process of time these offenders against good taste may come to acknowledge that daintiness ought to stand first in a woman\u2019s calendar of social graces.\u2014 Vogue.MON THE A L S1VINDL ER A

passed the word to the Prefecture of the Seine.This was in August, 1891.In October a committee was appointed to decide what department should re establish that nose.After an inspection in January, 1892, they reported in December that they were unable to decide.This report has just got into Parliament, and was \u201csat upon\u201d Feb.25, 1895.The next day the same old passerby noticed the

flower at Christmas, plant in September, writes Nancy Mann Waddle in an exquisitely-illustrated article on \u201cThe First Flower»,\" in the April Ladies' Home Journal.They thrive best in a light, thoroughly-drained itpd rich soil, and in pots not too large.Give plenty of water.Tulips should be planted about two inches below the surface of the soil, hut hyacinths should be covered with earth about half the depth of the pot.After planting set the pots in a dark, cool place, from four to six weeks.When the growth has begun bring the young plants to the light, hut keep them in a cool temperature.Too much forcing will cause the leaves to grow too rankly, and the stock to bend and droop, weakening the bloom as well.The blossoms will last much longer, also, if not subjected to too much heat.If the-hyacinth begins to bloom imperfectly, behre the stalk has pushed up well from the base of tlie leaves, put a paper cap over it.Should it hurst into bloom on one side, while the bells on the other side remain tightly closed, expose the closed bells to the warmth anil light of a lamp and you will be surprised at the rapidity with\u2018 which they expand.These bulbs can be growu in water, but the result is never so satisfactory.A story is told by one of Lord Zetland\u2019s parly, who were making inquiries into th« condition of a distressed district.They were crossing a lake : a gale was blowing, and waves were dashing over the boat.The gentleman referred to had been assured that an Irish peasant, if treated well, will always agree with what is said to him tather than appear

of Canada has been completely vindicated, and the charges wh\u2019ch, in wholesale order, were brought against it, have hcen disproved.When Mr.L.Seakkkant took oflice as General Manager of the road, he found himself face to face with the hard times, and hard times lye have been having ever rince, and hard times we are likely to have for some time yet to come.Like other great railway corporations, the Grand Trunk felt the pinch, lost money and had to cut down expenses.The revenue grew smaller, but the deficiency was always satisfactorily accounted for, though the shareholders who had their means invested in the concern, grumbled naturally .yq\t, e*IOU\"h.Mr.Barkru then appeared on THE QUEBEC CHRONICLE the scene, in London, and exercised his Pent «un I Inirlligeare.Ueut.-Guvernor and

who hoped to make cipital out of it.The only thing it proves, is that the enquiry was unnecessary, and sheer waste of time and money, the accounts have not, in th e slightest degree, been cooked, as

says The British Medical Journal, \u201cis not, as used to be supposed, the most dangerous principle (of tobacco), but pyridin and collodin.Nicotin is the product of the cigar and cigarette ; pyridin, which is three or four times more poisonous, comes out of the pipe.It would be well both for the devotees of tobacco and their neighbors if they took care always to have the smoke filtered through cotton wool or other absorbent material before it is allowed to pass the \u2018barrier of the teeth.\u2019 Smokers might also take a lesson from the unspeakable Turk, who never smokes a cigarette to the end, but usually throws it away when little more than half is finished.If these precautions were more generally observed, we should hear much less of the evil effects of smoking on the nerves and heart, and on the tongue itself.\u201d ¦ *a mi \u2022\t\u2022 \u2022 ti ¦¦ * t i have shown all the material facts pertuin- Josuits, 1 heir Origin it History | insto tha binmes».turepatk continue.»,

journal,-*-is not at all surpriseq that the publication of Mr.Barker\u2019^ re port should have checked the downward movement and initiated a slight recovery in quotations.And then the Times goes on to remark \u201cIt is idle to suggest that the Grand Trunk would do hotter with an abler General Manager, or with the Direction exclusively in Canadian hands.A able man than Mr.Skargeant it would be difficult, indeed, to find, though he has had the worst of ill-luolf in the financial and commercial depression which lias been synchronous with his term of office.\u201d The rep ,rt of Mr.Barker is viewed in a similar light by the London Railway Yews, which hastens to say, that it does not contain a single fact or statement which justifies the charges so per sistently put forward by tlio.se who have taken a part in the hostile movements against the Directors and the Company.The system of accountsadopted by the Grand Trunk with respect to its subsidiary or acquired lines is identical with that in use by the best and largest English companies.The News eludes its long article, by saying that «port of Mr.Barker may he taken as finally and effectually disposing of the charge of disingenuousness brought against the Directors and Officers of the Grand Trunk Railway Company.The proprietors have been put to unneoessary annoyance and disquiet, and, hut for the fall which has been

HAS A CANADIAN PROVINCE LESS LOCAL RIO FITS THAN AM A M ERICA -V S TA TE ?(To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle) Sir.\u2014No lover of fair play can find fault with the Roman Catholics, all over Canada, protesting against a Protestant system of public schools in Manitoba, but when the objectors attack secular schools, and with a rancour foreign tq even elementary polite ness term such schools \u201cgodless\u201d their pro-testations | »se much of their cogency.(Jar Quebec Legislature carries on its st»-sional functions without the assistance of robed or unrobed clergymen ; without the aid of a book of prayers or even an occasional chorus from Moody and Slinkey\u2019s hymns yet, so far, nobody has been willing to aasgmo the bad form of calling the annual meeting of our deputies a \u201cgodless\u201d affair, or their chamber a \u201cgodless\u201d hall I \u2019lis true that our Legislature caq boast of several Ministers, but they have never yet been known to gather even the little pages together to road thorn prayers or teach them catechism ! Again, we have factories which give em pl iyment to hundreds, perhaps thousands of girls and boys, but no religious exercises are thought of.Still wc would not think of calling our factories \u201cgodless.\u201d In fact, all sentient beings feol that \u201cto labour is to pray.\u201d That Manitoba will resist Federal interference iu local matters is very probable.The Stale of Louisiana laughed at all Washington threats about the New Orleans Mafit killing.And only quite recently, when Great Britain demanded from Argentina the extradition of Balfour, the thirty-five million dollar absconder, although a Federal Judge signed the extradition papers the Provincial Judge of the State W ith every loss of an ocean steamer the inefficiency of so called lifeboats seems to be demonstrated anew.It is a rare instance when more than half of the boats are lowered, and not infrequently those that are lowered are subsequently swamped.Moreover, it is a well known fact that the boats carried by the great steamships have insufficient dotation even in smooth weather to carry two thirds of their passengers and crew.When the United Slates steamer \u201cKearsarge\u201d was wrecked on lloncador Reef the catamaran, or raft, proved to be of more value than all the boats put together in saving the lives of the officers and men of the ship.In the \u201cHuron\u201d disaster, many years ago, the raft rendered most valuable service, and naval officers all speak in the highest praise of its efficiency iu all cases of emergency.The addition of the catamaran to the equipment of United States war vessels was due (o Rear Admiral Ammen, who designed, more than a quarter of a century ago, what is otii cially known as the Ammen balsa, more commonly called the catamaran.The circumstance that suggested its utility to Admiral Ammen wa* the landing of soldiers, guns and ammunition north of Fort Fisher in December, 1864.THE MODERN DEVELOPMENT OE THE BALSA.About six years ago Admiral Ammen designed a much lighter balsa in proportion to its displacement, which is eminently suitable for use as a life raft on ocean steamers.It is made of metal and resembles a two decked canoe, having a platform capable of seating sixty persons.Provisions can be oarried within ihe floats.The weight of the balsa if made wiiti aluminum floats and with à platform twenty one feet in length, need not exceed 1,600 pounds.Atlantic steamers could carry a sufficient number of them to float all on hoard, and then have less weight than with the lifeboats they now carry and which prove so unserviceable in the hour of need.The advantages of the balsa over boats as a means of saving life are apparent to even a landsman.Boats, at fitted to the great liners, are large ami cumbersome.They must be securely lashed to hold them in place.Under the most favorable circumstances it requires considerable time to get them into the water, aud they are always liable to be filled with water in a seaway, or to be stove alongside, rendering them useless.How- many boats have been capsized and engulfed in the vortex of a sinking ship, nor.one of their precious freight escaping ! r\u2019 Balsas can bu so secured by a mechanical contrivance that one man cao release them oil in a moment\u2019s time.Sm ill ones can be pitched overboard without danger of injury, and it a ship should suddenly sink the de-lached balsas would float on the surface without tho slightest risk of capsizing or swampiug.One halsa can carry as many people as four ordinary boats, and, naval officers assert, will make far better headway m a sea They require no bailing, since they hold no water, and therefore all the time and strength of the rescued can be given to propelling them toward a haven of refuge.They are fitted with both oars ami a sail, and can be safely handled by inexperienced persons, as they are practically un-sinkahle and uncapsizahle.HOW THE BALSA IS MADE.The floats or tubes of the Ammen balsa are made of Tobin bronze an 1 are twenty-four feet in longtl), with a major diameter amidships of three feet.They are divided into three or more compartments, in which food and water sutlici.-nt for a week\u2019s voyage can be stowed.Metallic caps are tightly screwed over the opening* iu .the tubes to keep out the salt water.The platform on which the passengers are seated is a light wooden grating.A rail runs along either side, and grab ropes are provided for greater security in rough seas.In a well ordered ship canvas bulwarks or weatheroloths would be provided in advance of necessity, and u capvatj foot piuoa to keep dry fuel.y It seems to be the unanimous opfimn of naval officers that were tho ocean steamships provided with those bilsas the chances of savins life in such terrible disasters as befel the Elbe would he increased a hundred fold.Captain F.V McNair, who counts more sea service than any other officer of his rank in the navy, expresses tho opinion that \u201cno passenger steamer should be without a full complement of balsas.\u201d Captain R.D Evans stated long ago that had he the power lie would compel every passenger carrying vessel io be provided with them.Kngineer-in-Uhief Melville says .\u201cThere is no question in my min i that had the \u2018Rlbe\u2019 been properly supplied with Ammen balsas a great many more passengers could and would have been saved.\u201d \\\\ ith such- simple means of saving life easily available it seams a orim^ that out of 324 souls on hoard the \u201cKibe\u201d more than three hundred should have perished almost without an effort to save them.\u2014A Herald, Every Class -OF- GOODS STILL SELLING European Novelties I HATS, DRESS GOODS.AND JACKETS.7:7.'OPENING MONDAY, TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY, 1st, 2nd and 3rd April.\u2022Spring Importation.Gents' Overcoating Gen s\u2019 Suiting.tV ONE PRICE ONLY Telephone 145.-AT- F.RIMA RE), 137 St.Joseph Street, St.Rocha.March 29.1895.\tFtb22-Lm Fashionable Tailoring SPRING 1895.NOVELTIES IN.LACE CURTAINS, At Reduced Prices.ENGLISH AND SCOTCH SUITINGS, Fancy Trouserings, &e.Art Muslins, At Reduced Prices.Our Winter Sale still continues, and all goods are offered at Reduced Prices.We submit the following WILLIAM LEE, Civil and Military Tailor, 25 BUADE STREET, QUEBEC 25 March 11, 1895.\u201cAny article purchased and rot approved of will be exchanged or the money refunded.\u201d MeLaren\u2019s CELEBRATED White Lace Curtains \u2014Each pair < yards and scolloped edges, 81.20 now $1.01; 81.4 > now $1.16; 81 65 now $1.32: $1.98 now 81.58 ; $3.45 now $2.76.Cream Lace Curtains\u2014Each pair 7 yards, all reduced, $1.65 now $1.32 ; $1.92 now $1.51; $2.30 now 81.81; $3.10 now 82.48.Art Muslins\u2014Every piece reduced.S^c.now 7c.; «is.now 7Jc.DouBle width, 18c.now 14jc.; 22c.now 18c.; 24c.now 19c.Sash Nets reduced to 17c.-For Otose Curtains, 21c.ORDERED 19 PREFERENCE -TO- ALL OTHER BRANDS Wide Muslin\u2014For Curtains, 18o.now 15c.,'-with Border, 26c.now 21c.BY THOSE Wh.\u2019ta Muslins\u2014AH plain m d «potted, I3c.now 12c.; 2- c now 16c.kinds reduced, ; 15j.now Who Have Made Trial of It, Cretonnes\u2014AH - \u2014 reduced, 13Jc.now He.; 18o, now 15c.; 24c.now 19c.' 1ST O -fiLXs TT M I Children\u2019s Pinafores\u2014All at leas than usual prices, 21c now l«c ; 3ttf\u2018r StfHet8-April L 1395.\tAm SPRING OVERCOATINGS I \u2014AND\u2014 SWINGS I We are showing some rare values in Fashionable Overcoat-ings, and Scotch Tweed Suitings Direct importations from the best Houses in Europe.W.VINCENT tail on.38 FABRIQUE STREET.March 30.1895.Buggies I Bicycles I OF ALL KINDS.M L AREN\u2019S s Genuine.ASK FOR- FABRIQUE STREET.March 20, 1895.Si SWIM, AND TAKE NO OTHER.May 24, 1894 St.John Street, Upper Town, and Sous-le-Fort Street, Lower Town.Hardware !

an.I electricity, iu fpreading fr >m one brooch of industry to another, en-coucters the prejudice that always rebuffs tue innovator.Tne assumption is false.It may be true thof in gladiatorial arena where the principles of sejamno contend, one party or the other always succumbs ami drag» out its dead ; but iu the arts longsurviyal is the law for all the appliances that have Ibsen found of any notable utility.It simply bé comes & question of the contracting sphere within which the old apparatus is hedged by the advent of the new ; and that relation once established uy processes complex and long continued, capable even of mathe-rnatioii determination, the two go on together, complementary in their adjust-meut to specific hum m needs.In its latest outgrowths, electrical application exemplifies this.After many years\u2019 use cf dynamo-electric machinery giving what is known us a \u201c¦continuous current,\u201d the art has reached the conclusion that only with the alternating current\u201d can ft fulfill the later duties laid upon it, and acjompi'sh the earlier tasks that re-i(Vaiu untouched.'.Vito the continuons current we have learned the rudiments of lighting an 1 p >wer distribation.With (he alternating current, m vnipulated and coaxed to yield its highest efficiency, wo may solve the problem» of aerial and marine usyiga\u2019jon by electricity, operate large railway systems, crausnui lue energy of Niagara hundreds of nilies, and, in Mr.I\u2019esl-t\u2019s own phraso \u201chook ¦ *ur machinery directly to that of Nat lire.\u201d\u2014 I humas Uouimcrford .Martin, iu the Century for April.Sherbrooke, March 39-Commander Edward David Ashe, R.N., died this morning after a short attack of bronchitis.He was born at Bath, Englaud, in 1813, being thus 82 years of age at the time of his death.He entered the navy as a cadet in 1825 ;

( To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) Sir,\u2014I am really surprised that it has never occurred to any cne before to propose .to \u201craise the blockade\u201d as regards the large tract of waste ground in the heart of Montcalm Ward exten ling back from the School of Arts and the other buildings in St.Joachim stii'et to Sc.Patrick\u2019s street.The doirabi- lity of opening ^ $t:vel through it is advoca; td chiefly because it wi.i j.cunit of it» sanitation and its utilization for liuPdmg purposes.But t<> my mind there is a stili more cogent reason for the improvement.Tnu interest or public morality and safety demand that daylight should be let into the d irk ami malndo rous recesses of this local Wnitechapel.For years, it hassimply been a resort for bad characters of both sexes, a sink of vice and iniquity of the worst kind to which its seclusion unfortunately lends itself, and a place where even murder might be committed with the greatest ease and impunity, owing to tl e many facilities for concealment and escape which it offer» to evil doers.In every sense, therefore, both material and moral, the proposed improvement strongly commend» itself to the appro- al and support of the municipal au-charities, who should give it early, serious and favorable consideration.Let mo say, however, that, if the proposal is entertained us it should be, I trust that the radical mis lake will not be committed of making the new street or extension of O\u2019Connell street merely of thesimo width as the latter, it firm Id be at least 60 feet bread.Respectfully, Andes.Quebec, 1st April, 1895 .\tTurkey is more interested in Americans who visit his palace at Con-staatinople than in guests of other nationalities, and frequently extends to them special courtesies.A party of them recently receiv-ed wnh the Sultan\u2019» compliments bouquets of fresh flowers that he had had cut for their benefir.He i8 said to Develine Whistles, and 2nd Hand Bicycles.LINCOLN & SENNETT'S LATEST STATE.I Three Sheet Poster.Two Sheet Poster.One Sheet Poster .ALL AT.REASONABLE RATES, HAT BE PB0CÏÏ3ED AT THE OFFICE AT SHORT NOTICE ! r .\t- consider American women the best dressed of those who invade his palace.Fine Printing of all Kims, in Both Languages, May be Obtained.NEW GOODS.THE LoB Woodrow\u2019s Newest Style !

and that in three cubic indies of gases from a Bunsen flame there are as many partiples as there arc habitants in the world.\u201d Possibly tests the air of smoking rooms would reveal greater numbers.Mr.Aitkin has put yet tested such air, but he found that a cigarette smoker sends 4,000.000,000 particles, more or less, into the iîip with every puff he makes.\u2014TAc Gentleman's Magazine.The Easter Weddlina: Gown.The material used is white satin, heav.and lustrous, and the skirt, which flares well, has a medium train, full and fanlike in effect, but not as long as those worn last season, writes Isabel A.Mallon in the April LadpY Home Journal.The bodice is * draped one coming to a short point in the front and at the back and arching over the hips.This Ïortion of it is outlined bv small pearl beads.he skirt trimming consists of wide folds of tulle draped in curves a* high up as the knees, each curvp being caught by a bunch of orange blossoms.The very full sleeves shape in to the arms, and come well over the wrists iu sharp points defined by small beads like those on the edge of the bodice.Tulle is draped across the corsage and caught by very small bunches of the bridal flower, w bile a knot of tulle and a bunch of the blossoms hold up the fullness of each sleeve mar the shoulder.The hair, which is arranged high on the head, is dressed with orange blossoms.J.KM1LE KOY CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST, *** ST.JOHN STREET ts» Drug^ Patent Medicines, Toilet Requisites, At prices advertised in circulars that, are distributed to the public.on tiie Esplanade IF\u2019OZR, S^L-XaE.That first-class rksi.denoe.No.55 Esplanade, presently occupied by Miss de Lerv \u2022 17 rooms be.- des bath-room, wine and vegetable cellars, and fire proof vault, furnace ;

mercantile training that has contribute 1 so largely to the foremost positions now held by them.Mr.Thom's commercial academy was one of tfie institutions of the Ancient Capital, ami ranked deservedly high wherever known.Its Principal was teaching there at .Xo\u2019clock yesterday afternoon.In less than half an hour afterwards, and before a doctor, who had been hastily summoned, when he was stricken down, could be called in, the veteran teacher had yielded up his life.He was 72 years of age, but looked much younger.He leaves a widow and a family of grown np efiildren, ,a^ whom we sympathize in tbi< a miction.The deceased gentleman was an elder of St.Andrews' Church and was in his accustomed pDce in the sacred edifice on Sunday night, the night before his death.Ghil lren will
