the Terrible Results of Overwork.A True Invigorator.Weakness and prostration of the nervous system surely follow that overwork and worry which brings sorrow and suffering to so many Canadian homes.The terrible results of nervous weakness, are seen on every hand.Pains in the back, poor and unrefreshing sleep, lack of appetite dyspepsia, and lost energy and strength, are the first symptoms of more serious and danger ous trouble.This is the way that Paralysis, Paresis and Insanity begin.Do not delay a moment longer, for some time it will be ton late to regain your lost health and vitality, Use Paine\u2019s Celery Compound now, and the dull eyes will regain their brilliancy, the cheeks will grow rosy, the brain become clear, the nerves strong and steady, your sleep restful and refreshing.appetite good, and health and happiness will take the place of misery and suffering.A.Sabiston, the well known lithographer of Montreal, writes: * In the summer of (888 1 had to work very

the occurrence of several murders, or rather the disappearance of several persons who ure supposed to have been murdered.The victims were all traced to a certain locality, and there all knowledge of them failed, desp.te the watch kept over the neighborhood.Finally suspicion wa: directed to the shop of a tobacconist named Bobbe, and to-day his house was searched, with the result of finding a \u201c man-trap\u201d in the floor covering a deey excavation; in which were found the bodies of the missing men.Bobbe was arrested, but has made no confession.FROM THE PRAIRIE CITY.Election Rumors\u2014Revenue Returus\u2014 Kidnapped by Indials.WINNIPEG, Man., December 1.\u2014 Rumor has it that the elections iu Kildonan and North Winnipeg will be held very ehort- ly, Treasurer Jones\u2019 resignation as member for the latter constituency having at last been accepted by the Government.The names of W.W.Watson and Stephen Nairn are mentioned as probable reform capdidates in North Winnipeg, and E.L.Drewry, G.R.Crowe and Hugh Sutherland as Opposition.a The inland revenue returns for November here are $23,826.The transactions at the Dominion Government Savings Bank during the month were: \u2014Deposits, $19,822; withdrawals, $26,260.Efforts are being made to find the parents of James Tanner, who was stolen by Indians when he was an infant.Tanner, who is now 33 years old, says his earliest recollections are of being with the family whose name he bears in St.Cloud, Minn, He ran away when seven yeprs old and came to Red River settlement.About 17 years ago the Tanner family moved to Manitoba and sought to get him to ilve with them but he refused.He claims they know the circumstances connected with his abduction but refuse to tell him, The school trustee election in ward 2 yesterday created great excitement.Joseph Wolf was elected by 55 majority.A requisition for another public meeting to discuss civic affairs is in circulation.The Manitoba pioneers of Portage district intend holding a celebration December 20th.A large party of American tourists arrived from the South yesterday and went West via C.P.R.to Seattle, preferring Canadian to American roads.Tracklaying on the Great Northwest Central will be completed by Dec.10, and the road is being ballasted, but it has pot yet been decided to operate the railway this winter.LL.Returns from the

Question.CONSERVATIVE LAND PURCHASE SCHEME.Divisions in the Tory Ranks.Loxnox, Nov.30.\u2014A protracted meet ing of the Cabinet was held to-day, at which was considered a proposal for a £10,000,000 land purchase scheme to apply to the disaffected portions of Ireland.It is understoodjthat there was not the degree of unanimity with regard to the measure that should characterize the consideration of so vital sn issue, and it is not unlikely that if the scheme is launched upon the sea of legislation it will be open to the same objection to many Tories that will be raised against it by the Liberals and Nationalists\u2014that it discriminates against a very considerable part of the people of Ireland, who are entitled to all the benefits that the measure may bestow.Indeed, it is now quite plain that the question of land purchase is not the only one upon which there is diversity of views in the Conservative ranks, and the Government will have no easy task to steer clear of breakers next session.MR.GLADSTONES MANCHESTER SPEECHES.Roth Parties on Tip-toe of Expeetation.Loxpoy, Nov.30.\u2014The preparations for the coming Liberal demonstration at Manchester, where Mr.Gladstone will deliver two speeches, are being conducted on an immense sca'e.Great results from the meetings are hoped for by the Liberals and obviously feared by the Tories, who are watching Mr.Gladstone closely, with a view of taking advantage of any inadvertant expression which may be used by him and thus weakening the effect of the ex-Premiar\u2019s speech.Mr.Gladstone is, however, not likely to be caught napping.In a letter published to-day Mr.Gladstone, referring \u2018o the programme of the Liberals, says: \u201cIt will be a part of my duty to explain clearly my attitude and to my utmost to further the reforms.\u201d THE ALASKA SEAL FISHERY.The London \u201cTimes\u201d Sarveys the Quea- tion.Loxpox, Dac.1\u2014The Times is devoting a good deal of space lately to an agitation of the Alaska seal fishery question.The Government is urzed not to acquiesce in the policy of the United States, which will completely exclude British interests from the benefit of the sealeries.The claim of the United States that Behring Sea is American water solely is elaborately contradicted by the Times, the old stock arguments on the opposite side of the question being brought forward in strong array.Just why the Times should be taking so much interest in an issue that was tacitly dropped some time ago, i8 not well understood.Lord Salisbury does not show any evidence of desiring to reopen the question, and indeed the Liberals, commenting on the Times\u2019 articles, openly teclare that the Premier does not care to ave Any trouble with the Washington sovernment.They rather unkindly re- nark that he would prefer to confine his 7igorous foreign policy to bullying and 1arrasging a little country like Portugal, hough the British financial and com- nercial interests which inspired the dis- »ute with Portugel are no more extensive han those involved in the Alaska seal ishery question.THE PARSON MADE A BOOK And Came Out at the Wrong End.Loxpox, Dec.1.\u2014A sad story 1s related d the Rev.Mr.Lloyd who, until quite ecently, held the office of vicar in one f the most important churches in the docese of Peterborough.His tastes iaving become exalted far above the pwer of his legitimate income to gratify tiem, he sought to improve his pecuni- æy condition by betting on the races, autiously at first, but ultim ately with dl the recklessness of a hardened punger.His experience was that of the geat majority who indulge in the allar- iig practice of gambling, and utter ruin wertook him.Unable to face his ceditors he resigned his position and dsappeared, going to no one knows vhere.THE ANTI-SSLAVERY CONGRESS.he Good Work Obstructed by National Jealomnsies.Losnox, Dec.1\u2014Though the Anti- Savery Congress, now sitting at Brus- sls, was opened with a great flourish and vany promises of wonderful results, very litle is now expected of it, and in some ercles it will be a welcome relief when te final adjournment of the conference irannounced.The nations represented RNA have already lost sight of the ostensible purpose of the congress in the general squabble which has arisen out of the action of Portugal in seeking to use the occasion ag a means o! settling her quarrels with England, and every power with an axe to grind is now bringing it forward.THE FIFTY-FIRST U.8.CONGRESS.Burning Sabjects for the Legisiature.WaASHINGTUN, Dec.1\u2014The Congress, which assembles at noon to-morrow, meets under very particular conditions.A Republican Senate and a Republican House will meet to transact business which will be submitted to a Republican President for approval.It would seem where such perfect political harmony exists, harmony of ideas and interests should be found also.But whether this harmony will be present at the deliberations of the two Houses of Congress or not remains to be seen.There are many questions to be considered by this Congress which cannot be settled on party lines.The principal topics to come before this Congress for discussion are the tariff, the silver question, federal control of national elections, a proposition to repeal the civil service law and the appropriation of money for rivers and harbours and other local objects and enterprises.The taritl question was the chief issue in last Congress.It will divide interest this time with the silver question.The question of silver coinage has been much agitated of late months and the Secretary of the Treasury, it is confidently expected, will make such recommendations to Congress in tke annual report which will be transmitted to the House and Senate on Wednesday next, as will bring the question into still greater prominence.Two relative questions which agitated the last Congress will come up before the blast Congress for a great deal of discussion.An effort will be made to amend the tariff laws and a strong influence will be brought to bear to have the international revenue laws repealed.1t is generally understood that the Republican majority in the House and Senate will make an effort to have a bill on the line of the Allison tariff bill of last year put through both houses and sent to the President.The discussion of this question may be postponed for several months.It is found to absorb a great deal of the attention of both houses.Mr.Mills, of Texas, has been quoted recently as saying that the Democrats in the houses would possibly filibuster, to prevent the passage of any tariff bill at this session, but the Republican majority has little fear of this.Sepator Yarwell, of Illinois, will intro- duce a bill to abolish the civil service examination.He has ul- ready discussed the matter with the President and explained what he proposes to do.He denounces the law as à menace to good government, Representative Hitt, of Illinois, in a recent interview expressed the opinion that the civil service law would be amended but not repealed and this seems to be the view of a great many of the older members of the House.Mr.Hitt also believes that the inter-state commerce law will be amended.The question of the relations between the United States and Canada, and of the eftect of the competition of the Canadian Pacific Railway and its connections with the railroads of this country will come up for discussion in the Senate, under reports to be presented by special committees which bave been Investigating these the past summer.The committee on Pacific railroads which has been to the Pacific coast this summer will make some recommendation to the Senate as to the forfeiture of the lands granted to the Pacificrailways.The general impression is that legislation on this subject will affect only those lands which remain unearned at the present day.There is little doubt that a river and harbor bill will be passed by this Congress.The local demands for it are of such a character that they cannot be ignored, particularly as Congress at its last session made hv anpropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors.The subject of coast defences will be debated in the House and Senate, with what result it would be hard to determine now.A HORRIBLE STORY.A Man Murders and Cremates His Son.CmicaGo, Dec.1.\u2014A [ribune special from Celina, Ohio, says: About a mile south of here yesterday several men found John Tugar lying by the remains of a blazing fire and shot through the body.When questioned about a boy seen with him the night before Tugar replied that he was in the fire, pointing down where parts of the boy were still roasting in the log heap.The men dragged the ashes and found buttons, buckles, bones and pieces of roasting flash, all that remained of a 15 year old lad.Tugar whose bullet wound will not prove fatal stated at the inquest held over the boy\u2019s remains, that the lad was his son John.They had been tramping and Friday night he drove the lad out to beg.The little fellow returned late without anything, and this incensed Tugar, who set the boy at work gathering a large quantity of wood, with which an immense bonfire was built.Late at night they quarrelled, and he struck the boy, crushing his skull.Alarmed at what he bad done, and thinking to destroy the evidence of his crime, lie flung the body into the blazing fire and spent the balance of the time until daylight poking the body with sticks to destroy it fully.With the morning, alarmed at the chances of discovery, ne turned his pistol, which contained but one load, against his breast and fired.A Murderer Sentemoed.DusuIN, Nov.30\u2014Laarie, the Arran murderer, was sentenced to-day to penal servitude for life.Strengthening the

FATE.A Newspaper Staff Meets Death in Fire.TERRIBLE INCIDENTS OF THE CALAMITY.Death in Its Most Frightful and Appalling Shape.FATAL FIRE IN A NEWSPAPER OFFICE.The Minmeapolis *\u201cTribune\u2019 Burnt Out, Mi~xearoris, Minn, Nov.30.\u2014The Iribune building, at the corner of lst avenue and 40th street, was burned tonight.Jtis believed that from ten to twenty people lost their lives in the flames, and others by jamping from the upper stories.The fire originated in the law office on the third story of the building about 10.30.The elevator man noticed the smell of smoke and called attention to it.The cry of fire was at once raised and several persons went down stairs from the 7tn story to investigate but thinking it would amount to nothing returned to work.Before long smoke began to fill the narrow stairway, the only one in the building, and every body began to make leisurely preparatious for quitting.No immediate danger was feared and the only exit from the building, which wus erroneously supposed to be fire-proof, was a narrow staircase, only wide enough for two persons to come down abreast, the elevator, and a single fire escape at the north end of the stracture.Several persons had made their escape in the meantime, but in less than ten minutes the flames reached the elevator shaft, which.acting as a mammoth flue, conveyed them to the top storey, and soon the editorial rooms in the same building where the fire originated were A SEETHING MASS OF FLAMES, A few minutes later it reached the other side, where the composing room was situated.A general alarm was turned in and all the engines in the city responded to the call.The imprisoned printers gathered at the windows in the south end and shrieked wildly and despairingly for aid.The vast crowd which had gathered in the streets, witnessing the awful sights, shouted words of encouragement and good spirit to them in an endsavour to buoy them up, .\u2018I'he long ladder seemed to move up at a snail's pace, but was finally rested in position and the territied men began to descend, the flames making steady encroachments in the corners where they had huddled like cowering animals.The life nets were brought into use and Rome were saved by this means.The entire building at 11.40 (less than one hour since the fire started), is a mass of ruins.The sparks are flying in all directions and adjoining buildings occupied by the Ideal restaurant, Stone & Vanwinkle\u2019s saloon and McCrystle\u2019s tailor store are doomed.The Tribune building was a seven-storey brick structure and valued at $300,000.It contained the Tribune newspaper plant, the Tribune, Star and Journal, the Tribune job printing establishment, the editorial rooms of the Minneapolis department of the &t.Paul Pioneer Express, and the Svenske Folkes Tiding, a Swedish paper, and numerous law and real estate offices.THE LOSS WILL REACH OVER A MILLION DOLLARS, Insurance not known.James Igoe (the Associated Press operator) and Dan Maloney, a printer, are among the number believed to be dead.The only body yet identified is that of John Olsen, a merchant, who bad gone to the composing room to see about a position for an \u201c ad.\u201d He jumped from the top floor and was killed instantly, his body being shockingly mangled.Seven bodies have been already taken out, but no .nore names are known.12.15 a.m.\u2014The Tribune building is now nearly consumed and the walls have partially fallen in.Two men, printers, named Pierce and Pickett, were injured.It is ascertained that the operator Igoe was injured by a fall and died before reaching the hospital.THE TELEGRAPH OPERATOR'S FATE, When Igoe gave warning of the fire on the associated press wire, he said : \u201cThere is a fire on the third floor and I\u2019m on the seventh.\u201d In another moment he said to the New York operator \u201cGo ahead Chandler,\u201d and New York commenced to send again.Igoe \u201cbroke\u201d and said \u201cboys,\u201d and there was another brief pause, the men on the wire listening, for they had noticed in the transmission of the word \u201cboys\u201d a tremulousness of touch.Then came these words, \u201cboys I\u2019ve got to stand you off, I am the only one left on this floor, everybody is gone and I can\u2019t stay any longer.\u201d The work went on again and none of his colleagues thought serious of his good-bye until the news of his death.Jerry Jen- kinson, a printer on the Tribune, is dead.The unrecognized man has since been recognized as Milton Pickett, a reporter on the Pioneer Press.At the morgue lay five bodies, that of Prof.Olsen already enclosed in a plain pine coffin.On the fioor are the bodies of Jerry Jenkinson, a compositor on the Tribune, à young man who was shortly to be married, beside him are two bodies 85 bloated and burned with blood still oozing from the terrible wounds that thus far have not been recognized.On two tables ara the corpses of Robert Mc- Catcheon, a compositor, and Mil ton Pickett, a reporter on the INoneer Press.Jenkinson endeavored to make his escape on the heavy telegraph wire.He clambered down a short way, but was unable to retain his bold and was obliged to let go and drop to the ground.When picked up he was dead.Itis not yet known how Pickett met bis death.He was badly burned, aad almost unrecognizable.McCutcheon, 8

supposed some of the printers killed themselves.One of the bodies ut the morgue has been identitied as that of Patrick Miles, the day Associated Press operator.He was also night agent of the association.The report that Dan Maloney was dead is erroneous.Jimmy Kobe, a messenger boy on the Tribune, 13 Baid to be missing.Chas.A.Williams and his brother William bad narrow escapes and are badly burned.It is feared the list of dead will be larger than at first reported.The Tribune building was occupied as follows : First floor, Tribune, Pioneer Press, Star and Journal business ottices ; second floor, Icesley & Co., Bell Investment Co., Cross & Carleton and Remsdell Engraving Co.; third floor, Republican Leagde, W.C.Henning & Whitney, Tribune Building Co.'s office, Journal editorial

Robert McCutcheon, comp.sitor; Wm.Colwell, compositor; Walter Miles, assistant pressman; George Stevens, compositor; Wm.Turnbull, compositor; Harry Whitlock, compositor, and Jerry Jenkinson, compositor.All Saturday night the steamers threw water on the burning and smoking ruins without cessation.The force that was on duty during the night was relieved in the morning and the good work went on unceasingly.A few spectators stood around during the entire night, and as soon as light began to dawn in the east others came, so that as early as 8 o'clock there was a considerable crowd on band.Dark and forbidding the walls of the wrecked building lcomed upon the grey light of the early morning, and as the spectators gazed the awful fact that frenzied human beings, half stifled with smoke and scorched by the flames, had but a few hours before made the death plunge from the giddy height to the hard, cruel stone pavement below, seemed to dawn upon them afresh, with all of its terrible force.As the day advanced it was seen the upper floors had given way and their weight, together with the job presses and heavy iron safes had carried all before it into a confused mass in the basement.Here and there an iron girder remained 1n position, but so lignt- ly fixed that it appeared that but a slight jar would be required to send it crashing to the bottom.A few of these girders were bent and wisted out of shape by the heat and the heavy masses that fell upon them from above.It had been hoped that the solidity of the first floor, supported as it was by heavy iron posts and girders, would support the overlying mass and thus protect the presses in the basement, But an examination of the ruins proved the delusiveness of this hope, everything had given way before the stupendous weight and the basement was piled full of the heavy debris.The vaults in the newspaper offices appeared to ba in good condition and unless the heat was too intense the contents will be found to bein a good state of preservation.The walls are cracked but little in the opinion of Chief Stetson and there ie.no danger of their falling, FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL.Law Clerk to the

of Dr.Wilson, has, it is rumored, been tendered to that eminent Canadian jurist and constitutional authority, the Hon.William McDougall, C.B., ex-Minister of the Crown, and colleague of Sir John A.Macdonald.This graceful tribute onthe part of the Premier to his old friend and ally meets with the greatest satisfaction in political and social circles.The annual sermon of the St.Andrew\u2019s Society was preached this evenlng in Bt.Andrew\u2019s church by Rev, W.T.Herridge.There were fully one thousand persons present and many were turned away.The sermon was an unusually able one.The Balmoral Choir, of Glasgow, Scotland, afforded the music.He sketched the history of Scottish naticnal societies and made a plea for Canadian national unity.Inland Revenue Officers Corliss and Graviele seized an illicit whiskey still on the premises of Wm.McLelland in this city to-day.He was arrested and admitted that he had been in the habit of manufacturing liquor for sale for over a year.The officers are also on the track of several tobacconists here, who, it is alleged, are selling tobacco and cigars which do not bear the Government stamp.Prosecution of Italian Anarchists.Loxpox,

Being Observed by the Sootchmen of Montreal, ANNIVERSARY SERVICES YESTERDAY.Preparations Almost Completed for St, Andrew\u2019s Ball.Our fellow-citizens of Scottish birth observed the anniversary of their patron Saint on Saturday by wearing sprigs of heather in their buttonholes.Owing to the anniversary falling on a Saturday the grand ballof the St.Amdrew\u2019s Society will not be held till this evening, when the new Opera Hall of the Windsor will be thrown open for the first time.The organ loft has been filled with tropical plants, which, in connection with the decorations, the brilliant liget and well polished floor, form a very pleasing picture.\u2018I'he ball guests will enter by the ladies\u2019 entrance to the Windsor, on Dor- chester street, and not by the main entrance to the ball room on Cy preas street.The St.Andrew\u2019s and Caledonian Societies attended Divine Service in a body yesterday afternoon.THE ANNIVERSARY SERVICE, The Rev.John Williamson, senior chaplain of St.Andrews Society, preached the annual sermon to the members of the Caledonian aud St.Andrew's societies in St.Andrew\u2019s Church yesterday afternoon.There was a large attendance of both societies and the service was of a hearty character.Rev.J.Williamson took for his text Ecclesiastes vii, 10: \u201cSay not then what is the cause that the former days were better than these ?for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.\u201d He said : Great ideas inspired the founders of society on this side of the Atlantic.But how far had these immortal hopes for men been realized ?Tne words that thrilled the soul with an enthusiasm for lofty ends and whose magic spell took men captive at their will have lost their, power.It was too practical an age and had no time for idea Its works like its visions was bounde® by the day or at most by the brief span of three score years and ten that was often far more than enough to exhaust its meaning.Society was in danger of dissolving into its original fragments when each man lived for his own hand merely.It was a war of each man against all his neighbours, in which God help the poor and the needy or they must soon be crushed.In a new land, fouuding its institutions under the most favourable auspices, starting where the whole past experience of the world left off, some of the worst evils of the feudal system had been introduced without any of its redeeming features.The gain was not much, to have god rid of an aristocracy of rank, which, whatever its evils, and these were neither few nor slight, had also the \u2018corresponding duties of an exalted position\u2014if the only alternative is an aristocracy of wealth with no tradition of past greatness to maintain, and no duties to the public to discharge.Freedom under these conditions would soon disappear though the forms of it might linger.Dazzing splendor of ma- terisl resources but along with it often a refined paganism at one end of the scale, and a mass of absolute brutality at the other.No belief in God, no recognition of a moral order slowly realizing itself and demanding obedience, society falling to pieces without the only force that could bind it together, surely after all the former days were better than these.The builders of the broken down wall of Jesusalem worked with one hand and held a drawn sword in the other; and by a like watchful care the sacred heritage of freedom won so nobly in the past must be preserved from the charlatans and demagogues who would willingly see it perish if only they might rise above its ruins.While stateemen who lead and do not follow, anxious, not for power, but influence over men, and possessing grent ideas as to the future, must strive to impress them on the minds of their contemporaries till by and by they lift them up to the level of their own exalted thoughts.Above all, a religious sanction must be given to life.National sentiment is very beautiful and sacred.Reverence for those who have sung the songs and fought the battles of the race, increased the sum of knowledge, or in any way helped on the great work of the world is a noble trait in the character of any people.Bo defined the sentiment of nationality should be cherished.National strength, however, implies organic union among all the members.To be strong and healthy tie individual members of a nation, like the parts of an organic whole, must be fused together into one, each contributing to, but also sharing in the common life.The spirit of provincialism is a curse to any people, dissipates its energies, lowers its intellectual life and the sphere of its political ideas and activity.It is in no such narrow spirit I now address a society of Scotchmen.The true heirs of a great man are not always his kinsmen in blood nor those who seek to preserve the external forms through which his life flowed into action; but those who have entered into bis spirit and through whom he still continues to be felt as an influence for good.True patriotism also must express itself not merely in à consuming desire to preserve the external details of the old life at home, but having entered into the spirit of the great men who made their country what it was, in embodying that same spirit in the new conditions that have risen.The idea is abroad that the average Scotchman is a pawky sort of fellow with an @ye for ever on the main chance.But it is based on imperfect observation.There are no doubt hard and unimpressionable Scotchmen as well as others.But this is not true of the people as a whole.Leaders in the commercial and political they have siso done their share as leaders in the spiritual life oi the world.[n proportion to its sise indeed, no country, Greece and Judea perhaps alone ex- ooptad, has ever done more in this re- speck.The splendid monuments they h.ve palg:d at home and over all the worlu besr testimony to their zeal as patrons of art, learning and philanthropic institutions of every kind.Hcience, art, literature, philosopby, religion, number Scotchmen among the moat illustrious of their mastsrs, and the whole spiritnal life of the world w-day owes a large part of its power and vitality to the genius and devotion of our countrymen.Where will you find on the long list of the immortals a mors glorious roll than the history cf our own country affords.Heirs then of a splendid past\u2014full of heroic endeavour and achievement in all the higher walks of life, let us enter into the spirit of that past,and under the new times and conditions that bave come carry that spirit into the work of to-day ; and doing for our day and generation what the great and good and true ot the pest did for theirs.Here and throughout the world the English speaking people are extending man\u2019s dominion over nature and its forces, carrying the blessings of peace and freedom, and a civilization based on a sense of human brotherhood, as set forth in the religion common to them all.But under whatever diversity of outward form there is among all the English speaking people of the world, this omniptotent spiritual brotherhood, slowly shaping the thoughts and filling the imagination, and guiding to a definite and common end the work of all.In this great movement now, as in the past, Scotchmen may be counted on to do their part.At the close of the service the members adjourned to the lecture room, when, upon motion of Mr.Wm.Ogilvy, a vote of thanks was passed to the Rev.Mr, Williamson, to the authorities of St.Andrew\u2019s Church and to the choir.Acting-Mayor Thompson on Saturday issued an order that the City Hall flag was to be hoisted in honour of St.Andrew\u2019s Day and as a token of respect for the Scotch residents of the city.St.Andrew\u2019s Day will be celebrated by the Catholic Young Men's Society by an entertainment in their new hall on Alexander street to-night, and Rev.James Callaghan will deliver an address on \u201c Scotch Character, Bcotch Poetry and Scotch Music.\u201d The gentlemen who dined at the Metropolitan Club were on Saturday evening treated to a dish of \u201cHaggis,\u201d which was appreciated, notwithstanding its mysterious composition.ST.ANDREW'5 SOCIETY.The fifty-fourth annual meeting of St.Audrew\u2019s Society was held in St Aundrew\u2019s Home on Saturday evening.1n the absence of the President and first vice-president, Mr.Jno.Cassils, the second vice-president, occupied the chair.There were also present Revs.J.Edgar Hill, Jno.Nichols and J.Williamson, Dr.J.Wanless, Messrs.J.A.Cantlie, J.M.Kirk, Walter Wilson, Ewan Mec- Lennan, Donald Campbell, W.B.Smith, Alex.McGarvey, Jack Cassils, A.Nic- holl, F.Robertson, and W.Alex.Caldwell, hon.secretary.The chairman said that an effort should be put forth by themto induce the younger Scotchmen ta join in and take an interest in the society and increase the membership.Rev.Mr.Hill submitted a draft of a resolution to be forwarded to the relatives of the following deceased members : Hon.Alex.Morris, Messrs.George Kay, James Haldane and P.8.Stevenson.Mr.McLennan ia referring to the death of the late Hon.Mr.Morris, said that during the time of the burning of Montreal thirty years ago he was secretary of the society, Even although he had been away from the city for many years, during a portion of which he was Governor ofthe Northwest, he had never ceased to take a warm interest in the work of the Society.At the period spoken of by Mr.McLennan he said that the late gentleman had been one of the most active and zealous workers for about three months.It was decided to put the resolution on record and forward a copy to the mourning families of the deceased.Rev.Mr.Hill stated that thirty-two telegrams conveying the society\u2019s greetings to various sister societies in England, Canada and the States had that day been despatched.So far he had received replies from Glengary, Toronto, \u2018Winnipeg and Quebec.Several applicants were proposed and admitted to membership.In answer to a question from the Chairman the Secretary said that their membership was about 200.This revived the subject of how to increase the membership and usefulness of the society.Mr.McLennan saw no reason why they should not have 1,000 with a little personal exertion.He referred to the act that many who were elected to membership never took any interest in the society.He also stated that the Treasurer and bimself were going to look over the books for the past 10 or 15 years, and send accounts to those in arrears, and notify them that they would let them off by paying last year\u2019s subscription.If they failed to do so, their names would be erased from the roll book.He believed, however, that about 76 per cent.would pay up, and continue in full fellowship.The Chairman atrongly advocated the enlisting of the young men, and added that it was an honour to belong to such à society.Mr.McLennan said that everything had been satisfactorily arranged for the ball, which is to take place this evening.It gave promise of being the most successful in the history of the society, which was saying a good deal According to the arrangements, all will be able to sit down to supper at one time.Rev.Mr.Williamson apologized for the abseace of Mr.Andrew Robertson, who was detained through sickness.Mr.Robertson also kindly invited the members of the society at the opening of his new conservatory, which will probably be in January.The date would be left to the convenience of the society.On the motion of Dr.Wanless, a vote of thanks was accorded Mr.Robertson for his kind invitation.The meeting then adjourned.\u2014_\u2014 TWO SMALL FIRES.The first fire of the month occurred at 5.50 yesterday morning.The alarm was given from box 135 for a fire in the establishment of Messrs.R.C.Jamieson & Co, 25 St.Thomas street.It was in the flooring, and was speedily extinguished.The reel from No.4station was called out by a still alarm at 10.30 a.m.for a fire in the fruit store of Mr.W.A.Ferguson, 2002 Notre Dame street.The damage in each ins:ance was slight.GUN CLUB SHOOT.Thaekwell Wins the First Handicap of the Series.SYDNEY THOMAS BREAKS THE AMERICAN RECORD.He Covers Fifteen Miles in 1 Hour 27 Min.11 3-5 Secs.THE GUN.FIRST SHOOT OF THE M.G.C.HANDICAP SERIES Between fifty and sixty gentiemen journeyed out in sleighs to the Athletic Club House on Saturday afternoon, some to witness and others to compete in the first of a series of three handicaps, at 18 yards rise, twenty-five birds each, inaugurated by the Montreal Gua Club, who bave offered prizes for the same.The competitors, who numbered twenty-five, comprised members of all the gun clubs in this vicinity, and in consequence a great amount of friendly rivalry was exhibited as to the ultimate winner, but as the score below shows it will prove a difficult matter to pick out the lucky winner of the bark canoe.The shooting was not of the best owing to a strong wind blowing over the traps, hence many of the best shots who in general are to be depended upon to show a good average on this occasion made very poor ones.Following are the total scores with the handicap included : Handicap.Birds.\u2026 2 20 G.Thackwell.A.Boa.ees 3 17 F.McLaren 6 17 W.Redmond.2 17 J.Paton.3 17 R.James 3 16 J.G.Hardley 3 16 W.J, Cleghorn 6 16 J.Randolph 6 15 J.Hutchison.6 15

Mr.Louis Rubenstein who is the fancy figure champion of America and Canada, should have a very good chance of carrying off the jubilee cup, and his brother Abe, who is but a few marks behind him,

average of $8,731.The highest price that has probably ever been paid in that country for single horse was given by Mr.Boucau, the recent purchaser of Ormonde, that gentleman paying $32,500 for Bal- moral, a colt by Phœnix\u2014Blood Royal.Other prices realized were\u2014Buckstons, ¢ by Pheenix\u2014out of Falka, $25,000; Bothwell, c by Phænix\u2014 Marie Seton, $12,000, and Heart\u2019s Delight, f by Phœnix \u2014Blissful, $13,500.Speaking of Ormonde, the great English racer\u2019s sale, an English writer savs : \u2014*It is always with regret that we part with such horses as Ormonde, but I believe that the Duke, who used to frequently ride him as à hack, so gentle and good-mannered was he,was far more influenced by the belief that the climate of Bouth America would cure or at least alleviate his roaring infirmity than by the enormous price offered.By the way | Peeler has also been sold to go to Buenos Ayres.\u201d THE VALUE OF THE TURF.Anentthe value of the turf of the United

great stock farms are valued at $6,000,000, and the sous and daughters of these stallions and brood marea earpel above $2,000,000 more during the past season ; the value of the stock now employed for racing being valued at $7,000, 000, while the capital invested in race tracks and stables is $6,000,000.The stock farms embrace 140,000 acres of the finest land in the country, and last year the yearling foals footed up to $1,000,000, while the attendance at race courses pumbered over 3,500,000.SPORTIFG NOTES.The St George Snowshoe Club will hold their first tramp of the season tomorrow
