Murder and Suicide in New York City\u2014 The Pope and Canadian Bishops\u2014A Mexican Lion and Bull Fight\u2014A Sad Drowning Fatality.London, May G\u2014Oscar Wilde succeeded in finding the sureties required of him by Justice Pollock and will be released.The names of his bondsmen are not made known.Wilde, it is announced, will be released from custody to-morrow.He will probably leave London at once for foreign parts.The statement of Mr.C.F.Gill, counsel for the prosecution, that Wilde would undoubtedly be tried at the next session, was made without the authority of the public prosecutor.It has not yet been decided whether the Government will try him or not.They are willing that he should again be arraigned, but it is understood the heads of the Church and many other eminent persons urge upon the Government the fact that much harm would be done to the public morals by the adoption of such a course, referring to the reprinting of all of the pernicious details of the case.In the meantime the police are ordered to maintain a close watch upon W\u2019ilde\u2019s movements and not to prevent him from going to the Continent if he wishes to go there.Jabez Spencer Balfour, the absconding exmember of Parliament, who is responsible for the collapse of the Liberator Building Society and other Companies, whereby thousands of investors were ruined, was landed at Southampton Docks this morning.When the steamer \u201cTartar Prince,\u201d in which Balfour was brought from Buenos Ayres, anchored in the harbor, a Custom House launch went to her and Balfour was transferred to her and landed.A tug containing 60 press representatives sought to board the \u201cTartar Prince,\u201d but was not able to do so.Meanwhile the detectives on board the Customs launct avoided the docks, which were crowded with excited people, and landed Balfour at Nettley wharf.The landing was quietly made and Balfour was put on a train without being noticed and started for London.Arriving in Loudon the train was stopped at Vaughan station and Balfour, instead of being taken to the Waterloo station, where an immense crowd was awaiting his arrival, was transferred to a cab and driven to the Bow Street Police Station.The expecting crowds were batlled at every point and none of them were gratified in catching a glimpse of the prisoner.Balfour was immediately put into the prisoner\u2019s dock and charges were formally made against him.lie appeared to he in good health, but was downcast and taciturn.Mr.Sydney Buxton, Parliamentary Secretary for the Colonial Olfice, replied in the House of Commons to-day to the question of Sir Geo.Baden-Powcll, whether the Government had received a request from Canada to call a conference of the Colonies interested with a view of arranging the details for the laying and maintaining of a sub marine Pacific Cable between Canada and Australia.Mr.Buxton said that no such request had been received and that the Government was in possession of no such information on the subject.Sir Geo.O.Trevelyan, Secretary for Scotland, replying to a question by Mr.Donald McGregor, said that the sum of £150,000 which had once been voted by Parliament to further the emigration of Highland crofters to British Columbia, had not the desired efiect, and the Government would now assist in the furtherance of a scheme of internal migration in Scotland.Mr.Gladstone has written a letter to the Anglo-Armenian Association, in which he says \u201cApart from local facts, of which I will not speak, the conduct of the Sultan and the Porte in connection with this question has been, in my mind, worse than their conduct in regard to Bulgaria in 187G.\u201d Rome, May 6\u2014A number of Roman Catho lie laymen, who are accompanying the visiting Bishops of St.John, Charlottetown and Antigonish, attended the Pope\u2019s mass yesterday.The Pope has directed the preparation of a laudatory letter to the Episcopate of Canada, in recognition of their zeal in the promotion of Roman Catholic schools.The nomination of a Bishop for the See of Sioux Falls has been postponed.Seville, May G\u2014The Duc d\u2019Orleans is out of danger and his physicians announce that no further bulletins in regard to his condition will be issued.Monterey, Mex., May 6\u2014\"Parnell,\" the man-eating lion, was killed here yesterday in the bull ring by a Mexican bull.Ihe contest between the bull and lion was witnessed by 2,000 people, who were wildly enthusiastic over the situations offered by the combat.It was a thoroughly brutal affair.A.MSRIOAN New York, May G\u2014Theodore Roosevelt, R.D.Parker and Col.Fred.D.Grant were sworn in by Mayor Strong this morning at 10 o\u2019clock at the City Hall, as Commissioners of Police.They departed at once for police headquarters to assume their offices.James Herbert, while insane, murdered his wife Mary this morning in their apirtments.No.554 East 32nd street, and then cut his own throat and leaped into the Evst River to make sure of ending his life.Mr.Herbert was 40 years of age and the couple had two children, Irene, aged 17 years, and James, aged 6 years.Fort Collins, Col., May 6\u2014Five persons were drowned at Carsrude Lake, six miles from this place, yesterday by the upsetting of a boat.The dead are Ray Bulger, Dsnver, aged 19 ; Robert Craig, For: Collins, aged 20; a son of H C.Carsrude,and two daughters of U.C.Carsrude.The Carsrudes are wealthy and among the first people of Colorado, os are also the parents of Craig and Badger.A.M.10.30 Mixod from St.Jemph, P.M.2.50 E x p r o a e from boerurooke.Revival ot the Theory of Demoniacal Possession \u201cAssuming that the highest tribunal of Kansas has indeed affirmed the legal soundness of the plea of hypnotism as a defence for the capital crime, it is a most surprising decision.There is r.o precedent for it in previous English and American decisions.\u201cThe acceptance of such a plea carries us back to the days of Salem witchcraft.It revives the theory of demoniacal possession, and applies it to the every-day adminietraiion of justice.\u201cIt revamps the old superstition of \u2018the power of the evil eye,\u2019 by which Rev.Cotton Mather, of pious Massachusetts memory, believed certain old women had \u2018influenced\u2019 and \u2018contiolled\u2019 their neighbors to do a variety of very wicked things.It sanctions that medieval myth us a legitimate ground on which American juries in 1895 may send one man to the scaffold who has done no murder (except constructively by his \u2018evil eye\u2019), and order another man to go scot free who was taken red-handed in the commission of that crime.\t.\t.\u201cNow, there may have been evidence enough, without assuming the hypnotic-control theory, to warrant the conviction of Gray on the old and well-established legal principle that whoever incites an insane person, or other plainly irresponsible person, to commit a crime is liable as the principal.And it may be that Gray was properly convicted on the other and also well-sellled principle that whoever incites another to commit a crime is an accessory before the fact, and liable to

Superintendent of the Eastern division of the C.P.R., has returned to the city from his annual tour of the inspection of the lines east of Port Arthur.Ho expressed himself as delighted with the outlook for the coining season.\u201cWe shall have an increased shirqnent of over 120,000,(KM) feet of lumber over last year in the district between Sudbury and Sault St.Marie on the branch, and Sudbury and Cartier on the main line,\" he said.\u201cAt Kenabutch they are expending $1,000,000 in erecting a sawmill and houses are springing up fast.\u201d With regard to the reported exodus of settlers secured by Father Paradis for Verner and the surrounding farming country, the General Superintendent states there is no truth in the statement as a whole.It is true that one or two of the first arrivals returned to their homes in the States, hut those who came after settled down and are doing remarkably well.The lumbermen have gone in large numbers at all points on the Like Tcmisca-.ningue Railway and the cut will be very large this season.ONTARIO Ottawa, May 6\u2014The question of interest in the disputed accounts case, which was referred by the Dominion to the Supreme Court, was to-day decided by the court in favor of Ontario and Quebec.A number of other judgments were also delivered.In an interview with a reporter Archbishop Langevin stated that the way his utterances were reported in many instances were apt to convey a wrong idea of what he really said in regard to the Manitoba School matter It was reported, said he, that he would recognize no compromise whatever, but what he did say was that no compromise whatever would be recognized in regard to things essential, things that constituted the true liberty of their schools.As to details it was quite another thing.They were ready to make concessions in regard to details, as they were not so exacting as to require everything to be carried on precisely as before 1.890.His Grace Slid that the Roman Catholics of Manitoba were a unit for separate schools and he fell confident that if the matter w-ere dealt with now hy the Provincial Legislature, it would be settled satisfactorily.Within the pist few months, he said, a big change of opinion has taken place in regard to this question, and now every liberal minded per son in the Dominion was awake to the justice of the minority\u2019s claim.The Governor-General and the Countess of Aberdeen left Ottawa on Saturday afternoon for ashort trip on the Gatineau, in order to obtain a day or two of quiet and retirement.Their Excellencies

service at one of the churches at Wakefield.Before leaving Ottawa the Governor-General mentioned to Mr.Ressemen, of the Gatineau Railway, .his appreciation of the arrangements which had been made for the comfort and convenience of his party in the matters of cars, etc.Their Excellencies return to Ottawa early to-morrow morning.The annual meeting of the Domiuion Rifle Association on Wednesday promises to be an interesting one.There are matters arising out of the last annual matches which will receive a threshing out.It is noticeable that there has been a falling off in the attendance at the matches for the last few years and this means a loss of revenue, for each competitor is figured at being worth $14 to the Associa tion.To account for this ehrinkage many reasons have been advanced.The use of two rifl-'s, for instance, was said to have caused it one year, but that objection is now re moved.It is sai l also that the League shcot-ing gives some of those who attend tho D.\tR.A.all the sport they want without the expense of travelling.Probably the strongest reason is the fact that rifle shooting has become an art and the prospective competitor weighs well his chances of glory before he starts out.So many arc now about in the same class and there are not prizes enough to uo all around, that much depends on the good fortune or luck ol the shooter.Toronto, May G\u2014At the Assizes this morning, Albert Weighill, the Unionville Station Agent, was put on trial for manslaughter.The case arose out of a collision of an express train from Port Hope with a snow

experience, 1 think, of my father * extraordinary energy and of the thoroughness\u2014the even alarming thoroughness\u2014with which he always threw himself into everything he had occasion to take up, was in connection with a toy theatre of which I was the proud possessor somewhere about the middle of the forties.Toy theatres with scenery and sheets of the characters only requiring painting and cutting out\u2014one Skelb was the principal artist for such things\u2014were very popular indeed in my very early youth, and it was the aim of every self-respecting boy to be the manager ol one or more of them.Greater even than the pleasures of the ultimate performances and the accompanying delights of setting out the evilsmelling little footlights which lavished their oil over everything with which it was most desirable they shouldnotcomeincontact,were the preparations -the p&iutingthescenery, the painting and cutting oat the characters, the pasting, the gumming, the thousand and one messes and snippings, and general causes of litter and untidiness, which were so dear to the boys of my time.Skelt, I am afraid, has long since vanished, and toy theatres are so seldom to be seen that I suppose tie taste for them has gone out too.Perhaps the boys of to-day know too much about the real theatre to care very much about the toy one, and arc not so ready to make-believe as we were.But in my time a toy theatre was about the most popular present you could give a boy, and when some philanthropist presented mo with an unusually fine specimen, a perfect Drury Laue among its brethren, I auLfcipatetl an endless round of delights.Bat the sizt of my theatre fascinated my father, and, in conjunction with Clarkson Stanfield, who had been distinguished as a scene painter before he became a member of the Royal Academy, he set to work to produce the first piece.This, I remember, was a spectacle called the \u201cElephant of Siam,\u2019* and its production on a proper scale of splendor necessitated the designing and painting of several new scenes, which resulted in such a competition between my father and Stanfield that you woeld have thought their very existence depended on the mounting of this same elephant.And even after Stanfield had had enough of it my father was still bard at work, aud pegged away at the landscape* and architecture of Siam with au amount J.EMILE ROY,

is a ripple of excitement in town over the rumored d smantlement of the Cullers\u2019 office, which, for so many years, has been a recognized feature of this city, in lumber trade circles.It appears that at the present session of Parliament, a bill will be introduced to amend the Inspection Act of 1893, the idea being to make, in future, the inspection of lumber conform to the inspection of all other articles of trade and commerce, but not compulsory.Square timber inspection is to l>e made compulsory for two or three year§.Authorities on the subject say, that the effect of this amendment would be far-reaching, and tend to remove from its sphere of usefulness, the Cullers\u2019 office, altogether.Half a century ago, the establishment under purview, was created here to act as a sort of buffer between the lumber shippers and the lumberman, and the general impression in certain circles seems to be that, on the whole, the plan of the promoters was satisfactorily carried out.Certainly, there have been few complaints reported in fifty years, as to the manner in which the accredited cullers performed their several duties.It is unnecessary to go into details, or to show how matters were managed in 1840, as compared to the way in which they are conducted in this year of grace.To the trade and to the business men of \u2022 the port, all information on the subject is well-known.We believe that the Government appointees to the Cullers\u2019 office have been competent men, and honest enough to do their duty by seller and buyer.That there nvght he abuses now and then, we are not prepared to doubt.To err is human, and cullers are not always recruited from the ranks of Archangels, or even of Angels.They have had to endure criticism, despite the fact, that a stern Supervisor remained always to be appealed to, in case of wrong raea sûrement, or ignorance of duty.To abolish the whole system, however, is now on the cards, and it is proposed to pension off the Supervisor, and the eight timber cullers and one stave culler on his staff, and six clerks, whose salaries range from 8700 to 81,000 per annum.Naturally enough, this move has excited some com motion in the \u201cstreet,\u201d and it is viewed with mingled feelings.If there is not enough business to afford employment to eight timber cullers, it should be an easy Rooms and Meals Separate iMtter 10 rwluce the uumber- Jf \\hore *\tare too many clerks to transact the volume of business done, the list might be cur tailed.But the Government ought to think twice before abolishing the institution altogether.Economy may be pushed too far.A contemporary in the West, estimates that the lumber trade of Quebec this year will touch six and a half million of feet.The cullers under such circura stances, will not he altogether idle.The British have withdrawn from Nica ragua, and the flag of that Republic now waves over Corinto.In a few days, the indemnity will he paid in London, to Great Britain.The Honduras Minister, who seems to be a man of tact and discernment, deserves all the credit for the peaceful solution of a difficulty, which was both absurd and painful.One cannot help thinking that the Nicaraguans were deceived by the sister Republic, the United States, whose politicians and press blatantly proclaimed the Monroe doctrine, in season and out of season.To talk was one thing, however.To do, was another.Nicara gua\u2019ssimple-minded people, evidently, had put their trust in the wrong place, and for their misplaced confidence, they were compelled to witness the occupancy of one of their porta by a British force, the establishment of a British garrison on their territory, and the flying of a British flag over their public offices.Nicaragua is too small a country to crush.But it was necessary to teach her a lesson, for insulting and ill-treating the British Consul, and British subjects residing within her confines.Such lessons are not altogether thrown away on even the meanest of nations,^nd Nicaragua will not soon forget her late little unpleasantness with Great Britain.Japan does not intend to yield herpoint, unless she has to, notwithstanding the fact that Russia threatens and Germany fumes.France may put in her o»r, but Japan Ls in a humor just now, to even hid that great Power, he still and let her alone.No one expects Japan to fight, single-handed, the three greatest Powers in Europe.But \u2022Japan has achieved victory after victory over China.Her great adversary never gained a fight, and Japan took everything that she fought for.It was China that begged for quarter and pleaded for peace, not Japan.And now, that Japan wants to make China feel the cost of defeat, by demanding treasure and territory, Russia, Germany and France, come up and say no The Japs are not in a frame of mind to lose everything that they won in honorable war fare on the field, and on the water, even to gratify tho not unselfish interests of the great Powers.Japan, evidently, declines to lie coerced.British sympathy is, unquestionably, with the Japanese, Notes and News.I\u2019crsonal InlcIIlxenre.¦Mr.and Mrs J.C.More have taken up their

Orderdn-Council a few months ago.Neither of these offers had been accepted and he thought the House would agree that the Canadian Government had done all in its power to secure an cx amination of Canadian herds by Imperial ex perts, with a view to demonstrating the accuracy of the Canadian contention that plenro pueumonia did not exist iu Can ida.The remainder of the afternoon was spent in debuting a motion by Mr.Mills (Annapolis), that it is expedient to amend the F.lec-toral Franchise Act so that it shall not be lawful for any person to vote at any election for a rmmber or members to represent the people in the Parliament of Canada, who at any lime within two years before the day of such election, was an employee or un appointee receiving piy or emolument, a holder of a commission for the expenditure of money, nr anyone in the receipt of wages, emoluments or payments of any kind other than for contracts let by tender or public auction of or from any of the Provincial Governments of Canada, or any Department thereof, or any authority under them which have enacted or may hereafter enact a disfranchisement as to the election of members to their L0gD!ative Assemblies respectively of employees, appointees receiving pay or emolument of or from the Federal Government.Speaking on his motion, Mr.Mills went into the history and effect of the local disfranchisement of the Federal Government officials in Nova Scotia, and maintained that it was only right tint when Federal Government officials were disfranchised locally that Provincial Government officials should be prevented from voting at Dominion elections The debate Was continued by Messrs.Me-Isaac, the new member for Antigoniah, Tis dal», Davies, C irran, Northrup and Fraser The House adjourned at six

the Minister of Militia said it was tho intention to have the annual drill and militia camps this year.The Minister of Railways informed the member for the County of Ottawa that the Pontiac and Pacific Junction Railway line ha l been inspected by Government officers ami pronounced to be in a safe condition, though minor repairs were much needed.The Comptroller of Customs, in answer to a query, informed the House that the Ool-leciorship of Customs at Niagara Falls would probably be filled during the present session.Hot).John Costigau told Mr.Bowers that it was not the intention of the Government to make any change iu the law regarding the size of lobsters which may be caught in the Bay of Fundy.In answer to a query by Dr.Guay, Hon.John Haggartsaid that three employees of the Intercolonial at Chaudière Curve, in the County of L-vis, had been discharged because there was not sulficient work to employ them.They were Loins Laurin, George Demers and Jos.Trembly.They would be re employed if circumstances permitted.Replying to another question by the same member, Comptroller Wallace said the salary pai l Benjamin Vanasse.Collector of Customs at Three Rivers, was 81,100.He also had free house, but supplied his own fuel and light.Hon.John Haggart told the House that it was the intention of the Government to repair during the coming summer, the pier called the Princess Pier at Lsvis The contracts for the pine, rock elm and pine deals were already awarded to the lowesr tenders.Mr.Dalton McCarthy asked whether the Minister of Public Works caused to be published the following despatch in La Presse newspaper :\u2014\u2018\u2018Ottawa, April 5.You are authorized to deny, as being absolutely false, the rumour published in the Herald that Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper demanded from his colleagues that remedial legislation should be postponed until after the general elections, if such legislation was rendered necessary by the refusal of Manitoba.In the latter case, it will be presented with the shortest possible delay in order to secure the passage of it.J.A.Ouimet.\u201d Whether the Minister of Public Works is correctly re ported to have said at the nomination at Vercberes that \"The Conservative Min isters are unanimoiu in giving a sequel to the Or l«r in-Council to pass a remedial law, not because they are Catholics or Orangemen but because it is required by the law of the land.That is how we are, we Conservatives, Some have left our ranks, more will leave, but it will not prevent the Government from carrying out its purpose.That is what I had to tell you iu the name of my colleagues You have bqt one course dictated by duty.If you cannot rise above local or party con sidérations, you must bear the reproach.If ever there has been a solemn occasion, it the present one, and I repeat my appeal not for my sake but for the sake of our country our race, our language and our institutions I ask you to forget party ties and to think of your God.\u201d\u2014Whether in those state ments of the Minister of Public Works the policy of the Government is correctly an nounced and defined.Hon.Mr.Oaimet, in reply, sai 1 he did au thori/î the paragraph published in La Presse He also said:\u2014\"I did make a speech on no minationday at Vercberes upon the Manitoba School question.I gave a correct history of the whole case and slated then that the poli cy of the Government was to be guided by the law and the constitution of the country and Idid ask all to support us in that deter minatior.The policy of the Government was correctly defined in that announcement the bon.member for North Simcoe desires further information upon that matter, he will get it by a perusal of the divers Orders in-Couucil upon the same subject, and I would specially advise him to read the min utes of the Council of the 19th March last, the remedial order of the 21st of the same month and the speech made in the Senate on the 22nd instant by Sir Mackenzie Bowell.\u201d Mr.Dalton McCarthy also asked whether, if ihe remedial order which the Governor General in-Couucil has passed with reference to il)e Manitoba question is not executed by the Legislature of that Province, this Parlia ment will J)e invested with authority or juris diction to pass or enact a law or laws to carry out the decision of the Goyernor-Ucueral-iu-Council embodied in the sal 1 remedial order ?SirCharles H.bbert Tupper, in reply, said that there were two conitrurtioos which could be placed upon the question just asked It might be a q lostion of fact, aod in that case the Government could not he called upon to give an answer as the question was hypo thetical.If the question was asked from legal aspect, and he presumed it was, he could not answer it better than by quoting the words of the eminent counsel for the Manitoba Government in his address to the Privy Council at tho hearing of the appeal.He then read from the report of Mr.Dalton McCarthy\u2019s address to the Privy Council as follows :\u2014 \"Up to the time of the complaint being made to the Governor General-in-Council, power is absolute and unlimited, section one being eliminated jn the L'!S'9lalure °f tlle Province.From tho time that the jurisdiction of the Governor General-in Council is invoked and the time the remedial order is passed, the Province still has power and still remains with power from the time that order is disobeyed.If that event should happen, and we have reason to know from what was said at the opening the other day that Jhat event is likely to happen, then there would be concurrent legislative power until the Parliament of 0aqad% exercised its legislative power.I think Sir John Thompson spoke of it in his speech as parallel legislative power.I do uot know whether my expression or his is the happier, but I think you understand what I mean, in olher words the Lcgislatura of Manitoba might this session refuse to pass remedial bgislition and then there would be authority in the Parliament of Canada to p^as it, aqd until the Parliament of Canada passes it there would still be power in the L\u2019gisV-ure to pass it.They might repent and pass it next session if they please or even the same session.They might not deal with the matter until this Parliament dealt with it.So that this power and authority, which I understand you may under certain circumstances exercise, is a power and authority which under events which have happened may arise, and if it does arise it is a legislative authority to be exercised like any of tho other legislative authorities ooqferred by section 91 of the B.N.A.Act.\u201d (Laughter).An hou.member\u2014\u2018\u2018The only opinion vc ever got from that source without paying for it well.\u201d (Laughter).This clever answer to the question was greeted with loud applause at the expense of the member for North Simcoe, who apparently enjoyed the joke made at his owu expense.lion.Mr.Langelicr asked Is it the intention of the Government to abolish the Cullers\u2019office at Quebec?If so, is it their intention to grunt pensions to the cullers still in the service and what will be t|ie umoqnt 0f such pensions?If it is the intention to grant such pensions to the cullers now in the service, do the Government purpose to cause like pensions to be granted to those cullers who were discharged some years ago when tl.e staff w\u2019ds reduced ?Comptroller of Inland F-cveuue Wood, in reply, said j\u2014\u2018\u2018It is, excepting the Bupcr visor, who will be Chief Inspector.The Act 52 Victoria, chapt.1H, sec.3, authorizes the reduction of the cullers and the granting of annuities not exceeding $2U<).Tliose struck off previously have been granted annuities as so provided.It is proposed to extend this action to the remainder of the staff, thirteen in number, unless they become Inspectors undci\u2019 the Inspestiou Act.\u201d A short debate look plaeo oq th?motion made by Mr.Smith, O.ttuiio, that in the opinion of ibis House it was desirable that tht- Government -shoul 1 engage the services of on»> or moru competent British veterinary surgeons to examine into and report upon ihu

(\u2019hnrch Seclefy.ANNIVERSARY MEETING LAST NIGHT.A large number of people, including several clergymen, assembled in the Church Hall last night.The chair was taken by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, at 8 o\u2019clock, and after the singing of a hymn by the entire congregation and the offering of prayers by the Dean of Quebec, the Bishop delivered a brief opening iotroduction.He accounted for the com piratively small attendance by referring to the various disappointments which had been experienced by the Committee this year, but he was certain that those who were present at the meeting would be more than compensated by hearing the remarks of the Bishop of Nova Scotia.The Right Revd.Dr.Courtney, Bishop of Nova Scotia, was received with loudapplause and delivered one of the best addresses ever heard here from the gifted speaker.He commenced by a humoious reference to the weather, saying that the last time he ad dressed a meeting here, he was almost washed away by the rain.As that did not preventjiim speaking, they seemed to have got up such a heat for his reception that nothing would be left upon the platform of the Bishop of Nova Scotia hut a small grease spot.He w\u2019ould take for his text that night the name of the Society in whose interests they had met together.It very properly stood out on the cover of their report in capital letters, larger than any other word upon it.Taking 1 he latter of the tw\u2019o words first,\tHis Lordship\tsaid that man was\tso constiruied\tthat association was necessary to his successful ex isteuce.Men might have been constituted like grains of sand, contiguous, but uuasso elated together.\tWithout association in Christian w\u2019ork we closed up, as it were, the avenues by which others could reach us and by which we were able to reach out to others He told the story of the bundles of faggots to show the strength of anion, and applied it to the condition of the Diocese of Quebec before and after the establishment of th Church Society.\tHe described the result of the Society as little less than marvel lous.As to the blessings achieved by asao ciation, he referred to the great association of the human family and of that of the na tion.One great nation had undertake to prove that it could live without association that it wanted nothing from any other and could so well get on w ilhout any other that it built a great wall around itself which was known as the great wall of China.And what was the result ?We saw to-day that though this nation contained 400 millions out of fourteen and a halt hundred mil lions of the earth\u2019s population, and was a Gal o\u2018h amongst the nations, that it could n >t live without the others.The Bishop referred to organization iu the State and in tie family as well as in the church.Hia Lordship noticed the advantages in Christian effort, both to the organized and to the church, in church organiz liions.Yet there were dangers attending societies, and he jn licatcd some of them, such as over satis fattion with the machinery of which they were composed,\u2014a tendency to rest on their 0 rs instead i f constantly pressing forward with a determination to go one better as the Americans would say, and a hold i ig back from active co-operation on the part of the young.He b.dieved the affairs|of the Diocese of Quebec were not only as well but even better conducted than those of any other diocese in the Dominion Yet the church continually needs to enlarge her bordors, to lengthen her cards and to stre gthen her stakes ; and this could only be done by constantly adding to her funds especially in these days when decreased di yidends lessened the income from the old established funds.He put the duty of thirchmeu squarely before the meeting showing that this was better than to send them away with their ears tickled with oratory.Then he took up the word \u201cchurch\u2019 regretting that it should he a bugbear for anybody, and declaring that the Church Christ was broad enough to include trac tarians, high church, low church and broad church, all of which had in it their locus standi, from the porsonal'relationship of the soul to its maker, to the churchly rover enue for the ordinance of Christ and the divers orders established by Him in His Church.There was also needed in it the consciousness of the perfect harmony existing; between science ami revelation.He urge seal and devotion to the Society, founded by the goad Bishop Geo.Mountain and nurtured by the saintly Bishop Williams, and careful gtqdy of its annual reports.His Lordship\u2019s adqrcss was an exceedingly able and eloquent one throughout and was listened to with marked attention.At its conclusion a hearty vote of thanks was tendered him.The Lord Bishop of Quebec made a few remarks upon the work and report of the Church Soc:ety and soundly rated those who had 11)9 presumption to declare that the spirit of church p irtyism had any place in the management of the Society, the distribution of its funds or the appointment of clergymen to vacant parishes.His Lordship\u2019s remarks were received with marked enthusiasm.STRA HATS.FLOWERS !
