representatives in negotiations with ths Turkish authorities toward the conclusion of a peaceful settlement of the differences be tween the Cretan rebels and the Turks.Mr.Curzon added that repeated

Madame Branzeau.a wealthy Frencli lady, and the other bearing Madame Paraga-mian and her daughter, the wife and child of a rich American residing in this city, were attacked by brigands at Yalove,

Egyptian Treasury for the purpose of meeting the expenses of the Soudan expedition, has formally pronounced judgment against the proposal to draw upon the commission of the public debt for the sum asked or any part thereof.This action of the Tribunal was taken despite the refusal of the British and Kgypiian Governments to recognize the competency of the Tribunal to deciae the question.Advices received from Akasheha, the advance post occupied by the Egyptian troops in the Soudan, this morning, say that in the battle which took place between the Egyptians and the Dervishes at Atroun Firket, 800 Dervishes were killed and 450 taken prisoners.The number of wounded Dervishes is not reported.Teheran, June 8-Muzzaffer Ed-Pin, the new Shah of Persia, was formally enthroned to-day at 12 30 o

Captain and carried him from the field to a place of safety.Mr.Dodds is the United States Consular Agent at Peterborough, Canada.\t* New York, June 8\u2014A Washington special to ths Herald says President Cleveland and the Queen of Great Britain will officially proclaim within a few days the Behring Sea Convention which their respective Governments have entered into.The Senate has made public the text of the treaty.It provides for the appointment cf a Joint Commission to ascertain the amount of damages sustained bv the owners of the British sealing vessels seized in Behring Sea by United States revenue cutters before they had authority to do so under the terms of ths modus vivendi on the approved decision of the Paris arbitration tribunal.No definite selection has yet been made, so far as can be learned, of the United States expert on the Commission.It is thought Professor D.H.Dali, an expert in seal life, who ia conn ected with the National Museum here, has about the besc chance of securing the place.It is not believed that Great Britain will be far behind the President in making its selection, as it is the desire of both Governments to have the matter settled aa soon aa possible.The long preamble of the Convention recites the facts of the treaty of 1892 and the failure of the Tribunal of Arbitration provided for it to satisfactorily settle all matters in dispute and specifies four additional British sealing vessels which have claims against the United States.The Convention proper provides that all claims arising under the treaty of 1892 and the award and findings of the Tri bunal of Arbitration shall be referred to two Commissioners, one appointed by Great Britain and the other by the United States.These Commissioners are to meet in Victoria, B.C.If either so request they shall also sit in San Francisco, Cal.Decisions reached by the Commissioners in each claim shall be accepted by the two Governments at final.They are given full authority to examine under oath every question of fact not found by the Tri- New Port, Pabos, Grand River, Cape Cove, Perce, Point St.Peter, Douglastown rf Returning rom Gaspe for Dalhousie _ MONDAY»and THURSDAYS

an attack of biliousness or indigestion.To avoid such disagreeable experiences one or two of Dr.Pierce\u2019s Pleasant Pellets sliuuld be taken after too hearty meal and the action of the stomach will thereby be quickened and the meal promptly digesten.Then too if Nature be assisted a little now and then in removing offending matter from the stomach and bowels you will thereby avoid a multitude of dis tressing derangements and diseases, and will have less frequent need for your doctors\u2019 services.Of all known agents for this purpose Dr.Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the best Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to further constipate, as is the case with other pills Hence, their great popularity with sufferers from habitual constipation, pih.and their attendant discomfort and manifold derangements.The Pellets cure biliousness, sick am bilious headache, dizziness, costivene: or constipation, sour stomach, loss of petite, coated tongue, indigestion,

to Great Britain under the Convention is to be paid by the United States within six months after the award is made.Lieut.R.E.Peary, U.S.N., sailed on the steamer \"Portia\u201d yesterday for St.John\u2019s, Nfld., to complete the arrangements for his coming voyage toGreenland.He will return to this city shortly and etpects to sail for the north about July 8.A number of scientific men and students, who for purposes of their own desire to visit Greenland, will take advantage of this opportunity to sail on Mr.Peary\u2019s steamer.Mr.Peary's most northern point on this trip will be Cape Sabine, at the eutrance to Smith Sound.Turning south again, he will endeavor to push into Jones\u2019 Sound, which is very little known, the only explorer who has ever pushed far into it be-ing Inglefield, in 1852.It is likely also that Peary, after he has picked up the parties he has left ou the coast, will visit Cumberland Sound, in Baffin Land, where Dr.Franz Boas spent a winter among the natives, and if the conditions are favorable Mr.Peary will spend a week in Hudson Strait, the great waterway, 500 miles long, that unites Hudson Bay with the sea.A Recorder special from Ithaca says tha Everard G.Wyckoff, son of a late trustee of Cornel) University, has given $2,000 for the purpose of sending a Cornell geographical ex- Sedition to Greenland during the summer.'he party, which will be in charge of Prof.Fair, is to accompany Lieut.Peary on his approaching trip.Kingston, N.Y., June 8\u2014A telephone message to the Freeman states that at 1.30 o\u2019clock this afternoon a horrible accident occurred at Norton\u2019s Cement Works, at Binne-water, a small hamlet about five miles from this city.A blast exploded prematurely and killed instantly the following men Arran Terwilliger, Thos.Rider and Fred.Charles.George Earley was badly injured, but is expected to recover.The dead men are all married.Their bodies were terribly mangled by the force of the explosion.San Francisco, June 8\u2014John Hay, assistant editor of the San Francisco Journal of Cotnmerce, was shot by Mrs.R.H.McDougall, last night in a lodging house.The murderess theu shot herself twice throught the breast and expired by the side of her victim.Hay was removed to the hospital where he died a few minutes after.The murdered man made an ante-mortem to the effect that he had been intimate with Mrs.McDougall but desired to break their acquaintance.When he so informed the womeu she became violently enraged, seized a pistol and shot him as he lay on the bed.Before he could disarm her she fired two bullets into her own breast.Key West, Fla., Jnne 8.\u2014It has been learned here on good authority that Maceo has an army of 20,000 men and that they are strongly fortified in the mountains of Pinar Del Rio, the Spaniards having utterly failed to drive them from their strongholds.Maceo has eight cannon, two of whifih were captured from the Trocha on his recent attack, when it was reported that he was repulsed.The report that Maceo has four companies of women soldiers has been confirmed.The Cuban women have such a dread of Spanish brutality that many of them prefer fighting on the battlefield beside their husbands and brothers to be thrown into the forts at the Spaniards\u2019 mercy.In Maceo\u2019s recent attack on {the Trocha these Amazons took part and fought fiercely, using machetes on the Spaniards- The attack was made north of San Marcos and General Bermudez crossed into Havana Province with 1,500 men.SPORTING NEWS.QUEBEC BICYCLE CLUB.This Club will turn out for a Club ride tonight, meeting at Dorchester Bridge at 7 o\u2019clock, for the Falls, where an important meeting will be heid to organize a monster larade of all the wheelmen in Quebec for Friday next.GOLF.Although the weather was decidedly unfavorable for low scoring on Saturday afternoon, still a large number of players struck off for the Challenge Trophy (Handicap) competition.The winner of this match has custody of the Trophy until the semi annual match with the Montreal Club comes off in the autumn.A glance at the appended score will show how keen the competition was, five strokes only separating the winner from the thirteenth name on the list in a field of twenty-four.It is a long time since a scratch man won any of the Club (Handicap) competitions.Mr.Griffith\u2019s good example may have an effect on subsequent play, perhaps.Taking into consideration the veritable gale of wind which prevailed all afternoon, 99 is a praiseworthy performance and could only be attained by steady good play

yachts \"Meteor,\u201d \"Britannia,\u201d \"Ailsa\u201d and \"Satanita,\u201d which on Saturday raced from theNore,at the mouth of the Thames, to Dover, 60 miles, started on their return this morning.There was a light southerly breeze and a clear sea.The \"Britannia\u201d led at the start.The 20-raters \"Niagara\u201d and the \"Saint\u201d also started at noon.The \"Meteor\u201d won the large rater race, finishing at 5 32 05.The \"Britannia\u201d was second.The corrected time shows that the yachts finished thus \"Meteor,\u201d 5 32.05 ; \"Britan-nis,\u201d 5.43.43 ; \u201cAilsa,\u201d 5.47.04 ; \"Satanita,\u201d 5.47.55.The course was shortened to 22 miles owing to the lightness of the wind.In the \u201820-rater race the \"Niagara\u201d finished first at 5.10.ID.The \"Saint\u201d was second, arriving at 5.18-51, and the \u201cPenitent third, finishing at 5.21.09.The Times this morning says of Emperor William\u2019s new yacht \"The \u2018Meteor\u2019 does not gather way in light breezes so quickly as the \u2018Britannia,\u2019 nor is she quite so smart in stays.She is stiffer than the \u2018Britannia and is likely to prove superior in a really smart breeze as inlight weather.On Saturday she showed wonderful speed to windward.\u201d The Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club re-atta was held here to day and Emperor Villiam\u2019s new cutter \"Meteor\u201d again won.This was her third race and her third victory, and the belief gains strength daily that she is more than a match for any of the fast British yachts.The course was from off the Dover pier, round the north east Varne buoy, thence to and around the South Sand lightship and back, twice around, a distance of 44 miles.Owing to the light wind that prevailed, however, the boats went around only once, making the distance sailed 22 miles.It is generally conceded that on all points of sailing, runuing, reaching and beating, the \"Meteor\u201d in a light to moderate wind can beat any British yacht afioat.Y\u2019achting experts are waiting with interest to see how she will perform iu a blow.Miss Martinet and Nat Goodwin It is more than likely that Sadie.Martinot will not accompany Nat Goodwin to Australia after all.'Hie question of salary has already come between these too artists, and Mr.Goodwin is now trying to induce A.M.Palmer to release Miss Blanche Walsh.Miss

June8\u2014The Royal Military College was the scene of unusual gaiety on Saturday night.For the time being the art of war and military interior economy were laid aside, and the building, together with its studious inmates and their many civilian friends, were given up to the pleasure of a social function.The affair was arranged by Mrs.General Cameron to mark the cfeoul of her two younger

yesterday\u2019s storm.No accidents occurred, but passengers experienced consider* able delay and it will take a couple of days to repair the damage.A conflagration, which at one time threat-ed to eclipse any former experience of Toronto in that line, broke out at ten minutes to seven o'clock this evening.McKendry Sc.Co\u2019s dry goods store was found to be in flames and the entire stock was threatened with total destruction.The big departmental store of Eaton Sc Co., adjoining, was in imminent danger and the news flew through the city that the whole block was on fire.Tremendous crowds thronged from all quarters to witness the scene, a general alarm was sent in and all the branches of the fire department were summoned.The firemen worked hard and confined the blaze to McKendry\u2019s.McKeu-dry A Co.carried a stock valued at $170,000, of which, however,a portion was in a building adjoining the main building.Thii-|stock,which was valued at $60,000, was partially saved.T.Eaton\u2019s employes\u2019 brigade was on hand early and assisted materially in preventing the spread of the fire.The interior of the building is completely gutted.The damage to the T.Eaton Co\u2019s stock by water and smoke was considerable and the store of Guinane Bros, suffered severely from the same cause.About nine o\u2019clock the fire was got under control, though enormous crowds remained about the place until a Dte hour.The insurance is placed at about $140:000 on stock on both buildings.The total damage to stock and building is about $200,000.The cause of the fire is unknown.Mr.Justice Falconbridge has resigned his seat in the Senate of the University of Toronto, owing to the decision of the Senate to confer the honorary degree of L L D.on Mr.Gold win Smith.When

discovered in the building occupied by the Hanover Post and in a very short time it was reduced to ashes.The building was a frame one aud conta.ned one of the finest newspaper plants in the Province, including one large steam press recently purchased.It is not known how the fire originated, but as a severe electrical storm had just passed over the town it is supposed it was caused by lightning.The loss on buildiug and plant is $4,500, with $2,100 insurance.Windsor, June 8\u2014Mr.Thomas Perkins, formerly a prominent business man in Kingston and subsequently for over twenty-six years on the Customs staff here, died yesterday, aged 79 years Mr.Perkins was probably best known throughout the country as a member of the Masonic fraternity.It was he that named the Great Western Lodge in this

of my friends in your Division whether I intend to be a Candidate at the coming election for the Federal Parliament.After giving this question my earnest consideration, I deem it advisable to lay before yon my views.I will now do this frankly and fully : 1 must state that, from considerations which I need not enter into, if I come forward it will be kl an Independent Candidate, unconnected with either of the great partiea.A resident of Quebec for forty years, I need scarcely say that I am deeply interested in its prosperity, and, above all, in the commercial progress of this Dominion.We are all naturally proud of the rapid and successful development which has attended the severs! administrations of the late Right Honourable Sir John A.Macdonald.To maintain and extend this progress, the Channels of Trade most be made as wide and as free as possible.This brings before me one of the great questions at issue, via.: the Fiscal Policy, which must now be re-considered.I am strongly in favor of Tariff Reform.This, of necessity, must be the preliminary step before it conld be possible to consider Imperial Preferential Trade.Betides, I consider Protection as only wise and prudent to adopt for the purpose of fostering infant manufactures, but that the aim should be to place taxes on a purely revenue basis.High Import duties are an expensive and wasteful mode of raising a revenue, attended with much corruption, tending to give a monopoly to the rich and general discontent to the poor.1 would support measures to have the freeest possible trade with all onr sister colonies, and above all to bind strongly the link which unites us to the greatest Empire the world has ever known.I would do all that U possible to work towards fair reciprocal trade with the United States, and I believe the Dominion conld do mnch to bring about a cloeer and better understanding with this great Republic.Having this in view, I would advocate making every exertion to have a unit id deep water-way from Lake Saperior to the ocean.The Manitoba School question should never have been worked into the aggravated position it now occupies.The same just freedom which the minority enjoy in Quebec should be guaranteed to our citizens in Manitoba.This I cabled from Eugland as my view, before the question had become snch a burning one.I favour the country glinting a handsome subsidy for the maintenance of a first-claes line of paseenger steamers running between Great Britain and Canada, also the establishment of a line between the Cape of Good Hope and Canada, and a line between Canada and Bonrdeanx, or some other town in the South of France, because I believe that the position of Quebec would enable our city to be a distributing point for the products of that country, which could take our lumber and other products from here.By this means our local industries would be encouraged and new markets opened np for our people.I favour Government assistance for a direct cable connection between Quebec (via Belle Isle) to the north of Ireland, and also the more imporUnt and costly enterprise of a cable from Vancouver to Australia.I have always considered a grievous wrong was done to this Province by the adoption of what waa called the short railway line to the seaboard.Our Quebec representatives failed in their duty at that time, and a wrong was done which we suffer from today.I hope, before long, to see this remedied by the construction of a bridge connecting our railway systems of the north with those of the south shore, and thus have the shortest line made practicable.I will advocate the most generous aid to all railway and other enterprises for the opening np of new lands, assistance to immigrants willing to live on and improve those lands.At the same time, I am anxious to see ni-tiated a closer ann more economical expendi-tore in the coet of our Parliaments ; a redaction in the payment of Members and in the administration of many Government works which in England are provided for by honourable men willing to devote their time for the common weal, without fee, and which system conld be followed here.If I become a Candidate for'your division, I have no selfish object in view ; if elected, I shall enter Parliament untrammelled by any pledge or promise other than to do my best for the city and country I love so welL Yours sincerely,

well-disciplined, and as smart-looking as any to be found in the Mother Country itself.So they have not lost much in that respect.But a warship is another thing, and as the mountain cannot go to

in town, yesterday, that Mr.Francois Lanoelier, who is leading the Liberal forlorn hope in Quebec Centre, contemplated the organization of a joint political meeting, on Thursday, the 11th instant.He intends inviting Mr.Angers, President of the Council, to be present.It is a question whether Mr.Angers will accept or not.Such meetings rarely occur in England.When they have occurred in Canada, they have served only to stir up bad blood between the paitics.In this Province a most intense feeling of bitterness prevails, and wo hear that if one takes place hero next Thursday night, bloodshed will ensue.It is, therefore, out of the question to ask for such a meeting, just now, owing to the state of violence which pre vails in the community.Mr.Angers is conducting his canvas quietly among the electors, and with excellent prospects of success.Mr.Langeueu, from all accounts, is not succeeding so well, hence his desire to call a joint meeting of the parties, where strife may assert itself.It is not advisable, under all the circumstances, to indulge him in his whim.He must fac^ this fight like other people.May 16, 1«9C.niarl2-Dm Property For Sale.!Progressive Meat Dealers

We are very glad to hear that Lord Aberpeen is making every effort to induce Admiral Krskine to visit this port with his warships, in time for the groat Bicycle Meet, July 1.Nothing would please our visitors from the West more than a sight of the \u201cCrescent\u201d and her consorts, the \u201cIntrepid\u201d and the \u201cTartar.\u201d These magnificent men-of war, with their splendid equipment in men and guns, would astonish eyes which have only road of them in the newspapers, or in stones of greir.sea-fights.It is computed that at least seven or eight thousand wheelers will visit Quebec next month.Mostly all of them will Mm®.ILlzear Taschereau.f From La Pris*e, Montreal.) Tout dans la vie n\u2019est que contrastes entre les joies de la veille et les pénibles réveils du lendemain, et de triatea retours des choses d\u2019ici-bas ne viennent que trop souvent nous rappeler brutalement comme est instable ce que l'on esc convenu de nommer le bonheur.Hélas ! que de fois n\u2019avez-vous pas va les grande eiliiotionsemboîter les pas aux grandes joies 1 Qui nous aurait dit, il y a six mois, Sue les personnes qui se réunissaient au mois e novembre dernier dans le maison de l\u2019honorable juge Taschereau, pour célébrer cel heureux événement\u2014le marriage de sa troisième fille avec M.le lieutenant Panet\u2014 s\u2019assembleraient aujourd\u2019hui, sous le même toit, pour pleurer l\u2019aimable femme qui les avait conviées à cette fête de famille ! Mme Taschereau a succombé, mardi dernier, trois heures, sans que rien n\u2019eut, samedi même, fait prévoir un si lamentable deuil.Ce u\u2019est que dans la journée de dimanche que sa maladie dont la science pen sait d\u2019abord avoir facilement raison, prit un caractère alarmant.Lundi, 1rs médecins per daient tout espoir de prévenir un douloureux dénouement.La soudaineté le cette mort a jeté le deuil dans la société de la capitule où les qualités de l\u2019esprit et du creur de Mme Taschereau lui avaient conquis «le fortes amitiés et un respect S;énéral.C était une femme de race, une emme comme on n\u2019en rencontre liés peu dans notre m>.nde qui accrpte de plus en plus le niveau d\u2019une banale égalité.Elle tenait de sa naissance ettte gr&ie native de manières qui imprimait à toutes scs paroles, à tous ses actes de la vie sociale un cachet de suprême distinction.Lorsque nous la voyions jidis ^ Québec, dans tout l\u2019éclat de sa beauté et de sa jeumsse-\u2014reine de loutesles réunions r uelle paraissait\u2014nous ne pouvions nous empêcher de penser que telles devaient être les grandes dames du temps passé.\u2014Il régnait autour d\u2019elle un ton de bonne compagnie qui char mait et la faisait rechercher.Très distinguée, sans hauteur elle se montrait accueillante pour les plus humbles comme pour les plus en vue.Sa bienveillance et sa bonté la rendaient aimable pour tous ceux qui vivaient dans son intimité.La nature l\u2019avait comblée de tous les dons qu\u2019il fallait pour tenir, avec une grande dig nité, sa place au cô:é de son mari, l\u2019homme aux talents éminents qui a successivement été député au Parlement, juge de la cour supé rieure, et est maintenant juge de la cour suprême du Canada.Mme Taschereau réalisait pour nous le modèle le plus réussi de la femme du monde dans la meilleure acception de l\u2019expression, et de l\u2019excellente chrétienne qui sait concilier les devoirs que la religion impose avec les exi gences d\u2019une haute situation sociale.Mme Taschereau (nés Marie-Antoinette de Lotbinière-Harwood), é:ait apparentée aux plus anciennes familles du pays.Trois de ses frères out représenté le comté de Vaudreuil au Parlement.Qu\u2019il nous soit permit d\u2019offrir ici nos condoléances à sa famille.D.The Growth of British Malaysia Among the \u201cunconsidered trifles\u201d which go to make up the vast total of our empire there are few of which Englishmen have more reason to be proud than the states that border on the Straits of Malacca.The colony known as the Straits Settlements consists of two small isiands\u2014Singapore and Penang\u2014and three bits of territory on the mainland, the whole covering some 1,500 square miles, with a population of about 600, 000, comprising almost every nationality in Asia.Singapore itself \u2014 selected by Sir Stamford Raffles, in 1819, as an emporium for the trade of Malaysia\u2014promptly justified the wi&tiom of its founder ; as a naval and coaling station it has been growing in importance ever since the Suez canal changed the course of eastern trade, but it is as the capital of a considerable dependency that it is likely to figure more attractively, perhaps, ia public estimation.For]there is, behind these so-called settlements, a hinterland of great and increasing value.Twenty years ago this territory was ruled by Malay chiefs who seem to have been incarnations of despotism and rapacity.The thousands of Chinese who were engaged in tin mining there were subject to little control but that of their own headsman, and indulged in faction fights nearly as bloody as any engagement in the late China-Japanese war.Piracy was of daily occurrence.The people \u201coccupied land, but did not own it ;

If the new tariff which the American protectionists are hoping for should squeeze Canada as the McKinley bill was designed to do and did, the best Canadian policy wilt be to retaliate by a discriminating duty on American manufactured goods and an export duty on Canadian raw products which Amer ican manufacturers need and must have, such as timber and wood pulp.Dpink In the Apmy.In a recent speech before the English Army Temperance Association, Lord Wolseley said : \u201cThere are yet some battles to be fought, some great enemies to be encountered, by the United Kingdom, but the most pressing enemy at present is drink.It kil\u2019s more than all the newest weapons of war fare, and not only destroys the body, bot ti e mind and sonl also.\u2019 Tie Comirander-in-Chief in India, Sir George While, holds the same views.A Quepy.(Montreal Gazette ) Mr.Laurier says in his letter to Mr.Bertram with reference to the tariff which the Liberals would introduce : \u201cIt is also impossible to lay down even ap proximately what should be the rate of the tariff.It is quite certain that public ex peuditure ought lobe and cau be considerably reduced.\u201d Would expenditure be reduced by the increase of the Proviucial subsidies, to which Mr.Laurier is pledged ?On Both Sides of the Fence.( Montreal Gazette).Sir Oliver Mowat began his series of speeches for Mr.Laurier by denouncing the National Policy as a failure, and saying it should be abolished.The same night, aud almost at the same hour, Mr.Prefonlaioe, another Laurier campaigner, declared him self, in Mr.Laurier\u2019s presence, to be in favor of protection.Sir Oliver was speaking to an audience of farmers ; Mr.Prefontaine waa addressing a city gathering with many work ingmen in it.Who is to be fooled if the Liberals, by their double policy, carry this election ?A Boon to the Labop Element.We duderstand that at the meeting of the Dominiou Cabinet in Montreal on Friday last, an Order-in-Council was passed extending the eight hour system to the employees of the Quebec Cartridge Factory and the Intercolo niai Railway, without any reduction in pay This action on tho part t>f the Government has been brought about through the efforts of organized labor aspresented to the Ministers by the Quebec Executive of the Dominion Trades and Laber Congress, Messrs.P.J.Jobin, President; H.Liforce Langsvin, Secretary, and Mr.John Scott, President of the Quebec Trades and Labor Council.This action of the Government will, no doubt, be appreciated by the employees on these works and also by organized labor generally throughout tha Dominion.Taxing Bloyoles.(New York Commercial Advertiser.) The plan to tax every bicycle in New York city is nonsense.The bicycle is a vehicle with precisely the same rights on the public highways that other vehicles possess.There is no reason for treating it as though it belonged to a special class.Its owners are citizens like the owners of private carriages.They have no legal privileges which others do not possess, and they should not be subjected to penalties which are not imp >sed upon the proprietors of all vehicles used for pleasure or private conveyance.The proposition to tax all the carriages in the metropolis weuld arouse a storm of indignant protest.It is an idea in consonance with European usages an 1 opposed to American theories of individual rights.A special bicycle tax would bo even more indefensible, in singling out one typs of vehicle and lotting others go free.Tho project is not worth discussing.It should bi dropped at once.Fresh Fun.Hoax\u2014Hgley\u2019s pretty well fixed, isn\u2019t he ?Joax\u2014Well, he\u2019s making more money than he can spend.\u201cYou don\u2019t say ?\u201d\t\u2022 \u201cYes ; he\u2019s a coiner in the mint.\"\u2014Phila delphia Record.Odorous Oliver\u2014I wish I had one 0\u2019 dem bicycle faces dis paper tells about.Mangy Mike\u2014Whuff ir.Odie ?Odorous Oliver\u2014P\u2019rhaps I could travel on it.\u2014New York Truth.\u201cNow, Josh,\u201d said the farmer to his 18-year-old son, \u201cwe allow to board a lot of city gals this summer, and you want to keep out of fulliu\u2019 in love with \u2019em, sure.It ain\u2019t been more\u2019u twenty year ago that I fell in love with one of our city boarders, and when she jilted me,\u201d he continued, lowering his voice and lookiug cautiously over his shoulder, \u201cit made me feel so bad that I rushed right off an\u2019 marrit you maw afore I thought what I was doin\u2019.\u201d\u2014Cincinnati Enquirer.Papa\u2014Billy, you\u2019ve been a very good little boy this morning.You' haven\u2019t disturbed me ouce.Billy\u2014Yes, and I\u2019ve been doing something real useful, too.I\u2019ve out all the ends off the cigars iu that box over there, aud uow you can just go ahead and smoke them without any trouble.\u2014Harper's Uazar.Father (reading from a speech of a jingo orator)\u2014Every American citizen is privileged to share that liberty bequeathed us by our fathers.Johuny (who has been kept in from his afternoon play)\u2014Unless he happens to be deprived of it by our mothers.\u2014Foniers Gazette.OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE.(To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle ) Dear Mr.Editor,\u2014 Replying to the remarks of \u201cAncien Militaire\u201d respecting the carriage of the head and shoulders of the men of the Q.O.C.H., in your issue of the 6lh instant, I consider said remarks quite uncalled for.The men previous to being seen on the streets hud three or four hours\u2019 heavy drill.Ptk.G.R.Quebec, 8th June, 1896.Do Not Do This.Do not be induced to buy any other if you have made up your mind to take flood's Sursa parilla.Rt-member that Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla cures when all others fail.Do not give up in despair because other medicines have failed to help you.Take Hood's Sarsaparilla faithfully and you may reasonably expect to be cured.Hood\u2019s Pills are purely vi prepared from the best ingre getable, carefully iieuts, 25c.dVCTTSLI^srS.1' inest Fancy Dress Muslins in all the Newest Colorings for tho Season.fine\tG-ITsTG-H^dVIS I ALL THE NEWEST PATTERNS.COTTON CREPONS, in all the Latent D/signs.NOVELTIES in SUNSHADES, iu all Shades aud Makes SPECIAL\u2014Ladies\u2019 Shirt Waists,\u2019 Pointed Yoke Back, Bishop Sleeve, Laundried Collar and Cuff, worth $1.00 for 50c.Mail Orders Promptly Executed.{^REMEMBER FRIDAY IS OUR BARGAIN DAY
