\u201cwas a childhood friend cf the beautiful Miss Emily Schomberg, of Philadelphia.She was a won-derfully beautiful woman.I have seen painted portraits of her, and nothing said in praise of her beauty could be too strong.My uncle as a young man went to Paris to study his profession, and coming home brought with him a young Spaniard with whom he had been acquainted.It was at a ball when the Spaniard was first introduced to Miss Schomberg.She was one of her own most appreciative admirers, and received as her due the compliments of the young foreigner, which were made in the effusive manner of his country.\u2018Bring your friend to call, John,' she said, graciouslv, tapping my uncle on the shoulder with a fao.\u2018He says I\u2019m beautiful.But even you, who have known me so long, do not appreciate my chief beauty.Come tomorrow morning at 11 o\u2019clock and see if I am ?ot right.* \u201cThe young men were on hand promptly' The servant ushered them into the reception room, where the young beauty sat.The mean ing of her somewhat enigmatical remark was made plain.The young lady did not rise to receive her guests, and as they approached they saw two small bare feet resting upon the deep, sapphire-blue velvet cushion, which brought out more fully their delicate beauty.The skin was like exquitite white satin, and the nails like polished seashel\u2019s.They were beautiful, my uncle said\u2014absolutely Total.105 The returns from the other States are meagre as they are classed as doubtful as fol lows :\u2014 Kansas.North

States, Bryan made tremendous losses.The 16 to 1 heresy, the free coinage of silver, the national repudiation scheme, all is to-day a thing of the past.The iniquitous Chicago platform has received its merited coudenntion of the hands of an intelligent and progressive people, and the party that adopted it and nailed it to its masthead h is been miserably routed.The re suit is so emphatic that Fitzuerald, of Boston, is sa d to bo the only Democrat elected to Congress from the whole of New England.The new Congress will be overwhelmingly Republican, probably by almost three to one.Never, perhips, has there been an American election that has attracted such wide attention.Our cable grains tell how intense was the interest with which the news of the voting was looked for in London.In this country, nothing could exceed the anxiety mini* fested in badness circle* as to the result.Had the S Iver.tei triumphed, it is impossible to say how far reaching and disastrous the consequences might have been to finance and commerce.Business will now have a chance to settle itself and resume its old channels.Canada must, of necessity, expect from the coming President a hostile measure of protection.This will not be an unmtxed evil, however, for it will be an cfiectual barrier to the threatened removal, by Sir Richard Cart-wright, of that National Policy which has made our manufacturing industries what they are to-day.THE BRIDGE SCHEME.Of all the schemes for the improvement of Quebec and the advancement of its trade and prosperity that have from time to time engaged public attention and unlisted the hearty support of the Morning Chronicle, whether the North Shore Railway, the Quebec Sc Lake St.John Railway, the Parry Sound scheme, the bridge project, the movement fur the erection of the now hotel, the improvements in the harbor, and that most important one of all, for the establishment of the fast passenger line of trans-Atlantic steamships, none have been accorded a more loyal and consistent backing in the columns of this paper, than that designed to unite the two shores of the St.Lawrence by a bridge at Quebec.The Chronicle has repeatedly taken the ground that the Federal undertaking to connect the Maritime Provinces with Quebec by means of the Intercolonial Railway will not have been carried out so long as the gulf that separates Quebec from the present terminus of the railway at Levis remains unbridgod.The late Sir John A.Macdonald apparently took this view of the situation, for he told the Quebec de putation that waited upon him in connection with the scheme, to let him know all their plans, and in parti cular the amount of their capital stock and what Quebec, in short, was willing to contribute towards the work.The death of Sir John unfortunately occurred before ho had fully committed the House and the country to the measure of aid that he was prepared to extend to the bridge ; but that he would have ensured its construction had his life been spared, is eviden from the emphatic declaration to that effect contained in the telegram that he addressed to Sir Charles Tufper in Quebec and that was read here by that Statesman some five or six years ago.The necessary pre liminary surveys of the various sites proposed fer the bridge were also made.There was a frankness about some of our public men that was painfully lacking about others.Thus Sir Mackenzie Bowell, who saw the matcer in an entirely different light from Sir John A.Macdonald, told a Quebec audience plainly, at a banquet to which he was invited here, that if Quebecers wanted the bridge they should build it.Of Sir Charles Topper, on the other hand, great things were expected, but then he had the misfortune to be retired from power before he had any opportunity of formulating a policy on the subject.Now wo find a new move mode.Mr.F.X.Berlinooet, C.E., proposed a long resolution yesterday at a meeting of the Council of the Quebec Board of Trade, which we print in full in our report of the meeting.It sim relates what everybody knows about the (Mist history of the project, urges reasons for the work which have been urged hundreds of times before by the Chronicle and others, and after adding a quotation from Mr.Laurier\u2019s speech at the banquet in his honor last week, and seeking to draw unwarranted conclusions therefrom, winds up by the appointment of a com mittee to see what can he done in the matter.The resolution was, of course, unanimously adopted.There was no reason in the world why it should not be.There is nothing in it to hurt anybody The Chronicle only.hopes that it may be productive of good, but it must be confessed that there does not appear to be any probability of anything of the kind.Had Mr.Laurier made any promise that it would be possible to hold him to, the Chronicle would be only too glad in the interest of Quebec to endeavor to hold him to it.But in order to warn our people in advance against what appears to be very much like a trap, it is the Chronicle\u2019s duty to declare that under existing circumstances it has no confidence in the intention of the present Government at Ottawa to build the bridge.Mr.Laurier distinctly told his entertainers at the recent banquet in his honor that Governments do not build bridges, but that they sometimes been quite a mortality amongst the ex-Mayors of Quebec.Within about the last decade or thereabouts wo have lost ox-Mayors G.Okill Stuart, John Le-mesurier, Rout.Chambers, A.G.Tourangeau, Sir N.F.Bkllbau, William IJossack, Owen Murphy and Olivier Robitaille.The Chronicle extend* its sympathy to the mourning relatives and friends of the late ex-Mayor Robitaille.The people of Richmond and our con-frere.Father Jones, in particular, proprietor of the Guardian, and the dean of the Eastern Townships pres*, have our sincere sympathy in the affliction which overtook them yesterday morning when their property was swept out of existence by the fire which devastated the place.F.SIMARD\u2019S ADVERTISEMENT.WOOLEN DEPARTMENT Î I believe that other house* sell Woolens, and Good Woolens, but Ï know that there is no house that can offer such an

at the banquet given him last week, in the speech of His Worship the Mayor, who is always so alert when the interests of our city are concerned.The Chronicle was very persistent in urging upon the late Government the error of its persistent refusal to do us justice in this respect, but never even got it so far committed as to promise to do anything.Now we have a Government that promises but does not pet, and we intend to keep it reminded of its promises until they are redeemed.As L'Evénement very properly points out, if it was necessary to have plans drawn and tenders called for, etc,, some delay might b* excusable, but the giving of instructions to have the work executed, is all that is necessary, and ought to be attended to immediately.Why n^t profit by he experience ef othei* wh

you.\u201d That, too, is perfectly true, though it is not exactly original.Quebecers have been told the same kind of thing quite often before.What else Mr.Laurter said on thU question is quoted in Mr.Berunguet\u2019s resolution as follows : \u2014 \u201cHelp yourselves, men of Qnel»ec, and then knock at the door of the Government and I will'be happy to be your advocate with my colleagues and, without betraying secrets, because, in my capacity of adviser of Her Majesty in the Dominion of Canada, I am bound to secrecy ; without betraying \u2014I say\u2014the Ministerial secrets, I think I can state, also without boasting, that 1 flatter myself, and I believe rightfully so, that I possess enough of influence with my colleagues to persuade them that they can do for the fourth time what has already been done three times.\" Mr, Laurier will scarcely thank his Quebec friends to have drawn from the above carefully involved statement the assertion that his Government promises \"to do what it has already done on three different occasions for other parts of the Province, that is to say, to furnish the necessary supplementary means to assure the realization of the project.\u201d Wo repeat what we have already said that wo sincerely hope that some good may come out of the movement, but that we very much doubt it.Tho whole business looks too much like an attémpt to do Quebec out of the substance of the fast line of passenger steamships by attracting its attention to the shadow of a bridge.Still we must not afford others the opportunity of declaring that we have refused anything that was desirable, and that was offered to us.It is our duty, therefore, while holding fast to the promises made us in the matter of the steamship line, to ascertain exactly what the Government mean to do in the affair of the bridge.In the first place, of course, Quebec must have the bridge where alone it can help her, namely in front of or somewhere below the city, and not at Cap Rouge or elsewhere up the stream, where it will do us harm instead of good.That point SOLE AGENT ONE PRICE ONLY.t'OR BUTTERICK\u2019S PATTERNS.TELEPHONE 2157.SIMARD, 137 St.Joseph Street,

sidewalks, and a\u2019so draws attention to the disgraceful state of the Grande Allee itself and of Dalhousie, St.Peter, St.Paul and St.Joseph streets.In the person of Dr.Olivier Robitaille, whose death is recorded in another column, Quebec loses an old, estimable and very useful citizen.Tho deceased gentleman was not only a Commissioner of the Marino Hospital during its entire history, but was

for instance, \u201cClear the road\" has three notes, and \u201cCome out, clear out of the building,\u201d is quite a little melody, Mr.Dyson points out that in America, Germany and a few other countries a bell or gong of a peculiar note, affixed to the engine, is sounded.In France a species of horn is used ; in Austria and Hungary the clarion is employed, the player sitting on the fire appliance next to the coachman and sounding a certain cull, on hearing which carriages have to draw iu to either side of the road, trains must stop and foot passengers cross the road at their own risk, until the engines have passed.The call, or signal, can be heard for some considerable distance above tho dm of the traffic, so that ample notice is given and a clear way is the result.Again, at a fire the pre-seut system of warning those engaged that the building, or a part of it, is about to collapse, is by sending a messenger, a very tardy process, and one fraught with considerable danger to the messenger, whereas distinct signal would be known and could be heard above the ooise and working of the engine», ITTLE PILLS.Imperial Bank of Canada.DIVIDEND No.43.\"VrOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT A dividend, at the race of 8 per cent, per annum, upon the Paid-up Capital Stock of this Institution, has been declared for the current half-year, and that the same will be payable at the Bank and its Branches on and after TUESDAY, the 1st day of DECEMBER next.The transfer books will be closed from the 17th to the 30th November, both days inclusive.By order of the Board, D.R.WILKIE, General Manager.Toronto, 22nd October, 1896.October 31, 1896.\twed&fri-td Union Bank of Canada.DIVIDEND No.60.Notice is hereby given that a Dividend of Thrbk Pkr C*nt.upon the Paid-up Capital Stock of this Institution, has been declared for the current half year, and that the same will be payable at its Banking House, in this City and at its Branches, on TUESDAY, the FIRST day of DECEMBER next.The Transfer Books will be closed from the Sixteenth to the Thirtieth days of November, both days inclusive.By order of the Board, E.E.WEBB, General Manager.Quebec, October 23rd, 1896.October 24, 1896.GO TO WALSH\u2019S -FOR THE- BEST WRITING PADS.Note\tSizs, Plain or Ruled,\tPrice 5 Cents.At\t«\u2022\tAi\tA4\tAA\tg\tAA (\u2022\tA4\t«»\t4\t44\tJU\t4< \u2022 4\tAi\t44\t44\t44\t*4 44\t4\t it owing to modesty, perhaps because he rather eojoys his false eminence.Not being in a position to settle this delicate question, I can only say that if the poor suspect wishes to free himself from the terrible effects of Graduate\u2019s suspicions, he has only to request me to help him out of his difficulty.I am of the opinion, however, that he will not avail himself of this kind offer.Graduate says that invitations were sent to all \u201cformer graduates,\u201d (what are former graduates?) \u201cso that if any of them passed unnoticed it was due to an oversight.\u201d This sentence sounds strange, but 1 suppose it is only another of Graduate\u2019a idiosyncrasies of style.As for the Tame excuse offered (so unofficially) with regard to the case of undergraduates, 1 can only repeat what I said last Saturday, that the former undergraduates of Morrin College at present in Quebec are so few in number that there would have been little difficulty in reaching them all, or nearly all, by referring to the College registers, or even by asking anyone familiar with the history of Morrin.Besides, the dissatisfaction is not restricted to graduates or former students, as Graduate is probably by this time aware.If he is the persou I imagine him to be (for A Believer may have suspicions or convictions as well as A Graduate), he certainly has.As I am not a little afraid of incurring your editorial displeasure by overburdening your columns with my reply, I shall only add that the second half of Graduate\u2019s monograph is entirely hor* la que*tion.Who has said anything derogatory to the efficiency of the professorial staff of Morrin College?Who in Quebec does not rejoice at the new lease of life experienced by the College ?Graduate's \u201centhusiasm for old Morrin\u201d is entirely misplaced in this connection.There are others aa well able to enthuse as he ! Not that I am sorry to see such eageruess io behalf of the only Protestant College in our old city, but I certainly object to any Inference lhat I, in my letter of last Saturday, had any desire to reflect on the efficieocy or i>cr*onnel of the teaching staff of Morrin College or that I am anything but a well-wisher of the College in all that concerns it.To me this all seems a uot too clear attempt to evade the question at issue.Anlinpatiog the dictum ol the Editor of the Morrin» Chronicle, I may say that I have no desire to engage in a war of words.My letter has had the desired effect if it has poked, however gently, the riba of those whose ribs required to be poked.I declare myself satisfied, but before1 closing I should like to say, iu connection with Mr.Simpson\u2019s \u201crush into print\u201d on Monday, lhat it was delicious to see your constant correspondent fitting on a hat which may or may not have been tutended for him.A Believer in Propriety.Quebec, November 3rd,

nation\u2019s honor and integrity will never again be assailed by the same force.Mrs.Hobart joins me in congratulations.(Signed) Garret A.Hobart.\u201d A telegram to Major McKinley says that the Tippecanoe Club, of Cleveland, 1,000 strong, will leave for Canton on a special train at nine o\u2019clock to congratulate the next President.Chicago, Nov.3\u2014At Démocratie head- Îuarters the bulletins were eagerly watched, n Senator Jones\u2019 rooms were gathered with the Chairman, Committeeman Campan of I Michigan, and Johnson of Kansas, Secretary I Walsh, Senators Teller and Tillman and Congressman Hartman.Concord, N.I1 , Nov.3\u2014Retufns are coming in very slowly, but enough have already been received to indicate that the Republicans have secured the most sweeping victory iu this State in its history and that their ante-election claim of a plurality of upwards of 20.000 for McKinley and nearly as much for Ramsdell for G ivernor, with increased majorities in both branches of the Legislature and enlarged pluralities for Congressmen will be verified.New York, Nov.4\u201412 15 a m -Returns to this hour show that the Republicans have elected 200 Congr aameu, Democrats 59, Populists 11, Sound Money IXmocrata 1, Josiah Patterson, of Tennessee.This leaves 86 districts to be heard from.St Louis, Mo., Nov.3 -In an election row at Tenth and Casa avenue John Kerley, aged 30

pursued aud nearly lynched before the police rescued him.Chicago, Nov.3\u2014The indications, based upon returns from all but 100 precinct* of Chicago and scattering returns from outside the city, are that McKinley aod Tanner have carried Illinois by over 100,000.Tanner is running ahead of his ticket but tomewhat behind McKinley.Philadelphia, Nov.3\u2014Returns from Pennsylvania counties are coming in very ¦lowly, but figures received indicate a plurality in the State for McKinley of nearly 300,000.Tne 21 Congressional districts heard from show the election of 20 Republicans and 1 Democrat.Houston, Tex., Nov.3\u2014It is certain lhat the Democratic ticket will have a good majority in Texas.Colhersou, Democratic nominee for Governor, will wiu by 25,000 to 30,000 and the national

election returns from the so called pivotal States show beyond all doubt that Wm.McKinley has been elected President and that a House of Representatives overwhelmingly hostile to the unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 or any other ratio has been chosen.The regular press despatches, the special despatches and the private despatches to the Courier from all directions bring the news of a great landslide, the effect of which has been felt in all parts of the country.The defeat of Bryan is crushing beyond all expectation and from all quarters come reports of general rejoicing.Boston, Nov.3\u2014The indications are that McKinley has carried Massachusetts by 150,-000.Wolcott for Governor runs somewhat behind McKinley.The vote is very large iu all parts of the State.Fitzgerald, Demo-crat, is elected to Congress in the ninth dis trict, and the tenth district is soiR in doubt.In the other eleven district* Republican Congressmen are elected.The Executive Council will stand seven Republicans and one Democrat, the stme as last year.Both of the biennial election amendment* have been defeated by votes of about two to one.The Legislature is overwhelmingly Republican in both branches.Jackson, Mass., Nov.3\u2014The election in this State was a quiet aflair aod less than 50 precincts, all Democratic, have been heard from.There is, however, no doubt of the election of the Bryan and S*wall ticket by an overwhelming majority.The Congressmen elected are all Bryan Democrat*.It is estimated here that all the State will go De mocratic by 30,000.Hartford, Coon., Nov.3\u2014McKinley has ¦ wept the Slate by about 50,000 plurality in the total vote of 170,000.Louis A.Cooke, of Winsted (Republican), is elected Governor by a plurality of perhaps 35,000.The four Republican Congressmen are all re-elected by majorities ranging from 6,000 to 15,000.LONDON PRESS COMMENT.London, Nov.3\u2014In its issue to-morrow the Standard^ commenting upon the election returns received from the United Btalea, will Bay \u201cMr.McKinley has, doubtless, won a splendid victory.The mere silence of the Bryanues confirms the belief lhat they have sustained a crushing defeat.Even the indefinite preliminary announcement of the result of the election will go far to restore calm in commercial circles.\u201d PECULIAR ELECTION BETS.In election bets there has been considerable freak betting.General Morgan, a Brooklyn eilverite, made a bet in which he engaged, in the event of Bryan\u2019s defeat, to have all of his teeth drawn.In the event of McKinley\u2019s defeat his oppouents, four in number, agree to have their beards and moustaches shaved ! off.mum DESPATCHES.OYAL INSURANCE .Company.Jfire anb |Cife.IN CAPITAL £2,000,000 Stg.And Immense Reserve Funds London, Nov.3\u2014The

BROTHERS P.O.Box 9C9, N.Y.City January 25 1896\t* The Kelmscott press of William Morris was the printing shop where the poet-artisan brought out the wonderful books which have been for a short time the envy and delight of collectors.The shop was a beautiful manor house, a sketch of which appears in the Kelmscott books.The most attractive of these publications is an edition of Herrick, and the most interesting the works of Morris himself.He designed the whole, and the initial letters and chapter headings are particularly fine.The binding is vellum, the print an adaptation of the old English
