The next one to follow was Mies Annie (Raymon, and although be cia his best to break her fall, she received serious injury to her back.Naxt came Annie Dioue,whoiby her jump sustained a fracture of the right leg.Sh& was taken to the Notre Dame Hospital, while Miss Kannon was removed to her residence on Murray street.The next employes to escape was James Giblin, about two hundred pounds in weight and who, by his jump, sustained a dislocation of the ankle of his right foot.John Lauzon was one of the last to leave, and as a result he was badly burned and singed about the face and head.F.Omer, another employee, managed to find his way to the second flat out becoming siifled by the smoke he rushed for a front window and breaking the frame jumped to the sidewalk.By this time the western \u2018division had arrived on the scene and in a very short time, in response to the second alarm, the central division turned up and a number of streams were directed upon the burning structure.The firemen fought bravely and after an hour\u2019s hard work had the satisfaction of seeing that the fire had been confined to the building in which it originated.The building was occupied by the Fibre Ware and Howard Phelp Ware Companies, each of which entered into partnership this yoar.The former is ineured for about $2,000 in the London & Glasgow Co,, but this will not cover ita loss by one-third.The Howard Company's pulp works below are equally badly dawaged, but the insurance could not be obtained.The building, owned by Mr.Jas.Robinson, is completely gutted, although it is said to be fully insured.The Howard Company are also said to be pretty well insured.It is pretty difficult at present to give an exact estimate of the total loss but it would be safe to put it down at about $25-000, which is only partially covered by insurance.The fact that the employees escaped with their lives appears to have astonished everybody, Strange tosay the Dominion Warehouse, situated immediately adjoining, escaped uninjured as regards fire and water, although the place was enveloped in smcke for a considerable time.Certain members ot the C.P.R.fire brigade were present and rendered valuable assistance to the brigade.At 10 p.m.last evening a still alarm was sent in to No.4 Station for a blaze in the window of the restaurant of Mr.Ed.Murphy, 2021 Notre Dame street.It originated through the curtain in the wicdow catching fire, and the damage amounted to about $130.Annie Jeotte,who jumped from the third flat, was conveyed in the ambulance to the General he spital, whereïit was ascertained that she had snstained acompound fracture of the right leg,her Load seveerly bruised, as well as internal injuries the extent of which are not yet known.The two sufferers who were taken to the Notre Dame hospital are doing as well as can be expected.The Fasteru division was ealled \u2018out at five o\u2019clock in response to an alarm rom box 27.The cause was the roof of Jthe ice house of Messrs Christin and Co., 275 Sanguinet street, which had taken fire.It was easily extinguished.A Tribute to a Mason, Pioneer Legion No.1, Select Knights of Canada, last evening presented Mr.A.Hullk, District Deputy Grand Commander for the last term, with a beautiful jewel.The presentation was made on behalf of the Select Knights of the City by D.R.Nelson, District Deputy Grand Commander for this term.The deputations present were James Steele, P.C.Standard Legion; R.Lynch, P.C.Crescent Legion; W.D.Austin, Orient Legion; and J.J.Ulley, Grand Standard Bearer.The recipient made an appropriate reply, aud the evening was spent in a social and enjoyable manner.The Legion has completed the necessary arrangements for their excursion to Ottawa on the lst of July.BREVETIES.A little fourteen year old girl was sentenced to five years in the Reformatory yesterday.She was found loitering in the street.Henry Cross and William Howell were yesterday sent by the Police Magistrate to the Queen\u2019» Bench for trial.They are charged with illegally appropriating a horse and buggy, The petition to bave Mr.M.C.Mullar- ky imprisoned on the ground of fraudent- ly

invitation extended by the St.Jean Baptiste Society for their celebration on the 24th inst.All Hackmen wishing to take part are requested to meet at the Hall mounted on that morning.The passengers on the Canadian Pacific Railway from Vancouver who wer» detained by the wash-out at'Myrtle, arrived in the city last evening at eleven forty p.m., twenty-four hours late.They speak in the highest terms of the courtesy sbown them by the officials during their unfortunate detention.THE ANGLICAN SYNOD.Proceedings at the Second Day's Sitting, The Anglican Synod resumed their sittings yesterday morning.The proceedings were opened with prayer.On motion it was agreed that Archdeacon Lindeay and Dr.Butler should be appointed 28 substitntes in case Dean Carmichael and Dr.Davidson could not attend the conference at Winnipeg.On motion of Dr.Norton, it was decided that the Bishop preach the opening sermon at the opening of the Synod, and the sermon be preached in the eveaing, 28 a means of inducing a full atterdance of members, Rev.Ernest King next gave notice of the following motion : \u201cThat in the judgment of this Synod there are scriptural, missionary and other special reasons why an increasingly active interest should continually be taken in the spiritual welfare of God\u2019s ancient people the Jews, to whom Christians owe their own religious privileges.\u201d The Rev.Rural Dean Lindsay read the immigration report and Mr.R.White reported the result of the meeting with a committee of the City Council and the Government respecting the erection of sheds oa the wharf for the accommola- tion of immigrants upon landing.Tne meeting then adjourned for lunch.Afternoon Session.The delegates re-assembled at 2.30 o'clock and after a few preliminaries had been gone through the Red F.A.Allen moved the following motion: \u201cThat the church in this diocese is opposed to the use of commercial principles and practices to raise funds for strictly church purposes, and desires to see the mansions of the world exchanged for the Law of the Gospel.\u201d This caused a very amusing discussion + in Which seyeral of the delegates took art.b Mr.R.White was under the impression that the motion was out of order and that the time of the Synod was being wasted because the Provinsial Synod had decided tbe matter and all the present Synod could do was to confirm that ruling.His view met with unanimous approval, and an amendment to that effect was carried.The election of the delegates to the Provincial Synod, Executive Council and Diocesan Court was next proceeded, with, but at the hour of closing the scrutineers had only completed these for the Diocesan Court as follows: Rev.Canon Henderson, Very Rev.Dean Carmichael, Rev, Canon David - son, Rev, J.H.Dixon,

will report the remaining nomirees at this morning\u2019s meeting.Rev, I.A, Alien next moved \u201cThat the statistics and subscription lists an- Dually printed in connection with the Synod rerort be also published separately for more general circulation.\u201d À discussion ensuei upon it, but on Capon Empsom pointing outit bad been done in previous years, but the expense had been Jound too great, the motion was allowed to grape.: The iueviing fr adjourned.\u201d Home Missions.In the evening a Missionary Cunfer- ence of the Diocese of Montraal was held in the Synod Hall at which Bishop Bond presided.The mectiug opened with the singing of the bymn No.562 \u201cLord, Watch Thy Church is Keeping.\u201d This was followed by prayer, after which an interesting address on \u201cChurch Extension in the Country,\u201d was delivered by the Rev.W.B.Chambers, rector of Knowlton.An open discussion followed in which many of the members present took part, one and ail calling for more moral and commercial support from the penole of Montreal.\"The hymn Xo.359 'Saviour sprinkle many nations,\u201d was next sung.The Ven.Archdeacon Evaus, rector of St.Stephen\u2019, pext delivered an address entitled * Church extension in the city.\u201d This aiso brought forth a capital discus- Sion, after which the meeting adjourned.AMUSEMENTS, Struck Gas, At the Royal, this laughter moving, mirth provoking, farcical comedy has been playing to good business all week.On Monday next it will be succeeded by that strong,romantic melodrama, Queen\u2019s Evidence.* The Liberati Concert.As will be seen in our advertising columy, the sale of seats for the Liber- ati band concert opens this morning, We think the demand will be commensurate with the reputation of Liberati as an artist, and such as to encourage other artiste of like calibre to settle among us.1.C.R.Restaurant on Fire.CAMPBELLTON, June 18.\u2014A fire broke out here at the station about noon yesterday the building occupied by the I.C.R.restaurant was completely destroyed.Fears were entertained that the whole of the station would be consumed, but owing to ¥the active efforts mada to quench the flames the fire was confined to the restaurant.Judicious John Morley.Loxnox, June 18.\u2014Mr.John Morley in a conversation on the subject of the agreement with Germany in the lobby of the House of Commons to-night said he regarded it as equitable and that the Liberals would not oppose it.The Radicals, however, are furious over the cession of Heligoland.\u2014\u2014_ Drowned While Bathing, GuELPH, June 18.\u2014Jo8.Huges, a boy

Greatest Sea Port\u2014A Fair Understanding in Africa Arrived at\u2014 Radicals Oppose the Agreement.Loxpox, June 18.\u2014Lord Salisbury\u2019s surrender to Germany is the main topic of discussion, and its rraification by Parliament is somewhat doubtful.The objectors to the Premier's concession, however, are by no means consistent.The Radicals, for 1nstance admit that they themselves advised ths cession of Heligoland, in return fo German concessions in Africa, but they declare their inability to see tha Germany has made any concessions.It is probable, however, that they would have been just as blind, for political purposes, if Germany had surrendered her entire interest in Africa and withdrawn her last man from that territory.The Siberals are a little less inconsistent, but will stoutly oppose the agreement, when it comes before Par- lament.for purely political reasons.GAME OF NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY, Russia and Germany Play Another Card in the Game, Loxvox, Jun 18,\u2014The Russian Government has begun the construction of several new lines of railway in the direction of the Russisn frontier.The strategic importance of these roads has aroused the German authorities to active interest in the progress, and the officials of the War Department in Berlin are already engaged in perfecting plans to construct New Prussian roads especially adapted to the rapid transportation of troops to tte frontier.The Russian authorities have expelled 150 Austrians from the vicinity of Myslowitz, Poland.The Stillborn Prince.LonpoN, June 18.\u2014The Princess of Wales is at the bedside of her daughter, the Duchess of Fife, and the Queen will arrive there on Saturday.The Duchess is doing weli and her physicians believe that her chances of relapsing into a dangercus condition are very remote.Whether the burial of the child of the Duchess will be private or conducted with Royal-honors is not yet definitely known, but it is probable that the latter course will be pursued.Burning of a Glasgow Wharf.Loxpon, June 18.\u2014The bridge wharf at Glasgow caught fire to-day and was totally burned, together with a large amount of freight and other property.The loss is very heavy.-\u2014\u2014 SHE ENTOMBED MINERS, Slight Hopes Still Existant for Their Safety.Duxsar, June 18\u2014The 32 miners are still entombed in the burning mine, This morning a fan was put in operation at the mouth of Ma- Lening pit.At two o'clock this morning nearly half an acres of the surface over the mine caved in, stopping the course of the smoke, which will now remain in the mine, and in a short tims smother any living thing therein.Superintendent Lynch of the Erick works, Euperintendent Brennau of Me- Clure\u2019s works, Mine Inscactor Keighly and Thomas Lowden, mine hoss of Mount Braddick works, made a tour of the Hill Farm, Ferguson & Mahoning mines last night and this morning.Mr.Lowden says there is a fair possibility of saving the men alive, It will take several days to reach the place where the men are supposed to be.Itis said that the mine inspectors\u2019 report, which was made some time ago, stating that the mine was in bad condition, has besn suirited away and cannot be found.D.Shearer and D.Hayes were buried to day, the funerals being largely attended, The grief of some of those present, whose friends are yet in the burning mine, bordered on frenzy, and so frantic did they become that they had to be carried from the scene acd kept in doors until the funeral corteges had passed.The wife of John Joy, a bride of two weeks, was found at daybreak sitting weeping on the hillside over the mine.She showed signs of mental aberration.LATER: Mre.Cavanaugh, mother of young Cavanaugh, who is also in the pit, was found wandering aimlessly about searching for her boy.John Fernon, a driver, who had been in the man hole leading to the Hill Top mines came to the mouth of the pit at 9 o\u2019clock this morning and said that he had gone into the man hole as far as poesible and had heard men halloing and also the braying of a mule.This statement is doubted, however, as it probably was the rescusng party that was heard instead of the imprisoned miners, \u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AN ABOMINABLE CRIME, Two Girls Accuse their Unnatural Father, St.Carmarixes, Oxt.,, June 18.\u2014On Saturday last & couple of young women from North Grimeby arrlved in the bity, seeking the protection of ths authorities from the unnatural acts of their father.They gave their names as Lossing, daughters cf Alfred Logsing of North Grimsb,.The story the girls told in the presence of County Judge and County Attorney, was of the most revolting nature.The officials were horrified at the awful nature of the accusation, and decided to take prompt action to protect the girls from further abuse, and, if pessible, punish the unnatural father.The story which the girls told was cor- roboratsd by a letter from Dr.MeMurchie and a statement signed by a couple of the gentlemen to whom the girls hal gone for advice.The officials were in dcubt as to whether criminal proceedings could be taken against Lossing or not, as the alleged crimes were committed prior to the passage of the criminal law last session by Sir John Thompson, and which includes a clause covering incest.Nr.McKeon, therefore, visited Toronto for a conference with the Attorney General, and it is understood it bas been de- cided to place the offender under arrest 4 Always Clear, Never Musty, \u201cMONTSERRAT\u201d (TRADE MARK) Pure Lime - Fruit Juice What is lime

admixture.By the \u201cMontserrat\u201d Company alone is the Lime Fruit cultivated for this purpose, and great care should be taken to obtain this brand (as supplied to the British Government), in

p.m.ANNEXATION.We understand there is à growing dissatisfaction in the flourishing municipality of Cote St.Antoine with the existing situation of affairs, which is developing into a feeling that the best solution of the problem is annexation to the City of Montreal, Tha questions of water supply, sewerage, fire protection, etc., are becoming of pressing importance to the people of that suburb, and they can only be effectively solved by annexation to this city.It ia probable the same feeling exists in other suburbs as well as Cote St.Antoine, and it might therefore be well for the City Council to take steps to ascertain on what terms any or all of them can be annexed ; and if the terms gre not too onerous we have no doubt Montreal will give them a hearty welcome into union with the commercial metropolis of Canada.There can ba no doubt that annexation would prove of incalculable benefit to Cote St.Antoine and likewise be of advantage to Montreal.It must come sooner or later.a WHY THEY WERE BEATEN.We are not disposad to jeer at or crow over a beaten opponent.If he has made a good fight we are the more inclined to respect him and make little of our own side\u2019s victory, and we are not violating this sentiment in calling aitention to th» defeat of Mr.Taillon and Mr.Auge.We are particularly rejoiced at the fate of these two candidates, bacause of their undisguised alliance with Ottawa.Mr.Taillon, whom we belisve to be an amiable and, in his private life, an upright gentleman, is admittedly a mere shadow, a shadow of Chapleau of another man\u2019s shadow ; it was the malfgn influence of his Ottawa connection that induced him to commit the unpardonable offence of attempting to steal the Government after the people had dismissed him from office.That offence, so dangerous to free institutions, can never be and should never be forgotten, and the fact that it was ordered by Sir John Macdonald, and enginesre by Mr, Chapleau, only makes it worss.Mr.Auge too openly put himself under the wing of Mr.Chapleau.The night before the election the Secretary of State delivered one of his usual orations, which always contain an immense quantity of nothing,and the Gazette said that 10,000 people \u201c acclaimed \u201d Mr.Chaplean.When it came to voting, however, cnly 1781 \u201cacclaimad \u201d Mr.Auge while 2024 claimed Mr.Brunet the Liberal as their man.Ifthis means anything, as we think it does, it means that in past years it was the fashion to consider Mr.Chapleau an orator of the young French , Canadian people, and on that reputation he can always draw a crowd.He can always narrate hls own youthful experjences\u2014or at least such of them as he thinks it wise to talk about\u2014and he does so in an effective and sometimes almost dramatic manner, But he has not developed.He was somebody when Premier of Quebec; so much so that Sir John Macdonald feared him, but that astute old politician, according to his custom, took him in hand, squeezed him dry, led him into false positions, and now only waits the opportunity to fling him aside while in the mean time employing him as an electioneering agent.From the day that Mr, Chapleau appeared in the penitential sheet in Montreal, confessed himself and received absolution from Sir Hector Langevin, he bas been, politically speaking, a mere shadow of his former self.The electors here, Liberals and Conservatives, like to hear him speak; he tells them nothing they do not already know, buf he is a graceful speaker and does not become a bore for at least half an hour; but pleasure and business are different matters, and no one of ordinary reasoning power wants a protege of Chapleaa and the Mikado of Ottawa in the legislature of Quebec.= Ix shies issue will be found tke annual seports for 1889-00 of the Merchants Bank and Ville Marie Bank, which contain interesting and satisfactory information for their respective shareholders, \u2018We shall take occasion to refer to them again.AMERICAN protectionista are threatened with a new danger.King cotton is to be assailed on his own ground.A movement is on foot among Egyptian cotton growers to export raw catton to Massae chusetts, the promoters of the scheme believing that the cost of shipping cotton across the Atlantic will be less than the cost of transporting cotton from the THE MONTKEAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE THURSDAY JUNE 19 Southern States.The protectionists will have to meet this with a prohibitory customs duty, That will mean dearer raw cotton, and American cotton manufacturers will Le less able than ever to hold their own markets, much less to compete in outside markets.Then they will, perhaps, awaken to the folly of prohibitory tariffs.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Tae Ottawa Citizen is at Mr.Mercier for having favoured the tri-coloured flag.But why be angry?The Red (England\u2019s national colour) in that banner is emblematic of the old Liberals ; the blue of the old Tories, and the white signifies the purity which has resulted from the combination of the other two.\u2014

four-oared events of the approaching regattas.The crews were two in number and wera those selected from the trial fours who raced last Saturday weex.They were ss fol- lows : J Green, stroke.W.Lang, stroke.F.Green.J.Brophy.R.J.Kell, J Brown, D.W.Davis.R.Lang.In the first heat the Lang crew steered a bad course and, had not Green's crew been a good length and a half ahead, would have fouled them as they crossed their course.This gave Green's crew a still further advantage and they came in several lengths to spare.Time about 1.55.In the second heat the Lang crew steered a still worse course and ran into the head of Price\u2019s island, so that Green\u2019s crew had it all their own way.Time about 2-10.The club bave now got their beautiful four-oared boat from Waters ot Troy.It is beautifully finished and so far appears to satisfy the expectations of the members.The club is in solid earnest preparing for the coming struggle, and will be no mean competitor.WHAT IT W DO.1 to 2

and who will never be known to the public, says the New York Tribune, but she is an example of the plucky American girlwho has to make her living, and perseveres in her work.The writer was told of her case by a theatrical manager, who was telling of the rough paths & company has often to tread when on the road.It wasin a town out west where the company was to play only three nights that three of the actresses fell ill.One of them played the leading part, and whilo the troupe wason the road there was only one under- study\u2014the one for the leading lady.The leading lady had been ill for several days, but she hoped to appear that night as usual, Toward evening, however, she sent a message that ber physician had insisted on her going to bed.This threw her part to her understudy.The manager was thrown into a panic a few minutes later by getting word that two more of his actresses wr@5 severely ill, as this left the three principal parts without those who regularly played them, and there was oaly one understudy.But a theatrical manager is accustomed to facing hard tasks at short notice, and he at once set to work to reconstruct for one night his company.A woman who took a minor part was hastily rehearsed for the second role in point of importance.She did not make asuccess of it, but the manager breath- od a sigh of relief when he had satisfied himself that she could stumble through her lines in a fairly decent fashion.\u201cNow,\u201d he said, having deposed of this knotty problem, \u201cI must make some arrangement for this third part.\u201d A little woman who was standing on the stage came forward and said firmiy: \u201cI would like to play that part.\u201d She was one of those women who are to be found in every play, one who is a lady in waiting in one scene, a part of the mob in another, and perhaps one of a garden party in another\u2014one who walks a great deal, changes hor gowns many times, but never says anything, When she volunteered to try the part the manager was vexed.\u201cWhy,\u201d said he curtly, \u201cyou have never had a line, have you?\u201d \u201cNot many,\" she answered simply.\u2018You haven't two hours to learn the lines.\u201d \u201cOh, I know them very well, rehearse me?\u2019 \u201cWell,\u201d said the ménager, doubtfully, \u201cI suppose Imust.We have got to do something, Come, let's try it.\u201d As the quiet little woman with the serious eyes went over the lines a pleased smile spread over the manager's face.He nodded his head approvingly asshe continued, and she, encouraged by his friendliness, lost her first shyness and ended with a fire and spirit which called forth from the worried manager a hearty cry of applause.\u201cGood!\u201d he cried.\u201cYou do better than Miss M, who is going to take the second part.Ab,\u201d he added, a shade of dirappairt- ment darkening his face, \u201cif you only \u2018mv those lines,\u201d \u201cBut I do,\u201d shesaid, delightedly.\u201cYou do?Then rattle them of£ justa- fast as your tongue can wag.\" So they went through those lines, the manager becoming more and more cheerful.Miss M\u2014, glad to berelieved of her responsibility, was rehearsed in the lines of the third part.The curtain was a few minutes late in rising that night, but it was a smiling and grateful manager who watched a little woman, whose name he had not thought to ask, save the company in so graceful a fashion.When the curtain came down on the last scene he asked her how she happened to know the lines.\u201cI learned them,\u201d was the happy reply.\u201cI know all the lines in the play.\u201d \u201cBut you rehearsed them so well?\u201d \u2018Oh, I'used to rehearse myself in my room after the play.I thought I could doit,\u201d she said, with a proud smile on her face.The actress whose place she had assumed did not appear on the next night.She had been sent home seriously ill.When the play opened in the next town there was a new name on the the program\u2014a name which had never before been seen on any program, and the little woman whose pluck and intelligence had saved the company played that part for the rest of the season, Won't you Odd Bits of Life.Two men sat on a bench in Union Square to enjoy rest and sunshine, says the New York Sun\u2014one at eith>r end of the bench.Oue was apparently well fed and well-to-do; the other had apparently staked his all and gone down with the crash.For the first five minutes not & word was spoken.Then the * hard-up man ventured the observation: \u201cFine day.\u201d The other nodded.About five minutes later hard-up remarked: \u2018Foliage coming out.\u201d A second nod.The interval was only three minutes this time, when the speaker inquired: \u201cThink you could cash a check for me?\u201d A third nod.1t was exactly a minute and a half before he continued: \u201cIt would be a great favor.\u201d The other put his hand into his pocket, but let it remain.The bard-up man was now breathing in an excited manner, but he held himself back for fifvy seconds before he said: \u201cIt\u2019s a small check\u2014one for a quarter.\u201d The other held a quarter in his fingers and looked up to say: \u2018*Might have had it fifteen minutes azo.\u201d \u201cBut I was afraid of working you too fast.I\u2019ve been over in Jersey for three months, and they took all the hustle out of me there.Why, sir, I got soat last that I'd get toa house at midnight and wait for the farmer togetupin the morning to ask him if I might sleep under his straw-stack the coming night.At one place they were three weeks sending me to jail for five days, and it took me two days to make up my mind to break out and two more to dig through the wall.I'll soon be all right again.By next week 1'll be able to ask you fora dollar without losing ten seconds\u2019 time.\u201d As to Setting Rivers on Fire.Bobby\u2014\u2018\u2018Mr.Bagley, you wouldn\u2019t set the North River on fire, would you?\u201d Mr.Bagley\u2014\u2018\u2018Why, no, Bobby, of course not.I couldn\u2019t do that.Why do you ask?\u201d Bobby \u2014*\u201cWell, they were discussing smart people at the house last night and that\u2019s what sister Sarah said about you.I guess sister's got you down pretty fine.\u201d\u201d\u2014 Rochester Post- Express.And So Was He.A New Haven girl who married a China- man lived with him for two weeks and then applied for a divorce, alleged that she was greatly disappointed in his habits, On the other hand he says he'il be only too glad to got rid cf her, as she insisted on using a knife and fork and doing other things which killed his love Vone dead.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 They Cape Handy.A Mobile sailor paid seventy-five cents for a pair of suspenders made of \u2019possum skin and for a time he felt that he had been cheated.The other day, however, as he sailed away for Mexico the shooner capsized and he drifted about for five days, and it was only by eat- Ing those suspenders that he saved his life, Notice to Consignees.The Allan\u2019s steamship \u201cSARMATIAN.\u201d J.Brown master, from Glasgow, is entered at Customs Consignees wil\u2019 please pass their

For about thirteen years I have been troubled with eczema or some other cutan- \u20acous disease which all remedies failed to cure.Hearing of the CUTICURA REMEDIES, I re- s0lved to give them a trial.I followed the directions carefully, and it affords me much Pleasure to say that before using two boxes of the CUTICURA, four cakes of CUTICURA BoAP, and one bottle of CUTICURA RESOLVENT Iwas entirely cured.In addition to my own case, my baby boy, then about five months old, was suffering with what I supposed to be the same disease as mine, to such au extent that his head was coated over with a solid scab, from which there was a constant flow of pus which was sickening to look upon, besides two large tumor-like kernels on ;the back of Lis head.Thanks to your wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES, his scalp is perfectly well, and the kernels have been scattered so that there is only one little place by his left ear, and that is healing nicely.Instead of a coating of scabs he has a fine coating of hair, much better than that which was destroyed by the disease.I would that the whole world of sufferers from skin and blood diseases knew the value of your CUTICURA REMEDILS as I do Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Soap are Worth ten timesihe price at which they are sold.Ihave never used any other toilet soap in my house since I bought the first cake of your Juticura Soap.I Would be inhuman as well as ungrateful shoald I fail to £peak well of and recommend them to every sufferer.I have spoken of it and shall continue to speak of it ftom the pulpit, in the homes and on the streets.Praying that you may live long and do others the same amount of good! you have done ms and my child, I remain, jours gratefully, Rev.C.M MANNING, Box 2, Ackworth, Ga.Cuticura Remesdies Sold

Cities Reproducedin the Heavens with Great Distinctness\u2014 Vessels Sailing Apparently up and Down\u2014Remarkable Occurrences.This wonderful phenomenon, says J.K.Bloomfield in the New York Observer, takes several forms, according to the state of the atmosphere, but those most generally seen are the looming mirages of the Fata Mor- gana, In looming mirages distant objects show an extravagant increase in vertical height without alteration in breadth.Distant hummocks of ice are thus magnified into immense towers and pinnacles, and a ship is sometimes abnormally drawn out until it appears twelve or thirteen times as high as it islong.Rocks are seen drawn up to ten or twelve times their proper height.Houses, as well as human beings and animals, appear in like exaggerated shape.; Another form of mirage is wben a ship, or some other object near the water, seems greatly clongated, and a second inverted image meets it from above.Sometimes the proper image of the object is elevated far above the lake or sea, while the second image strangely appears inverted beneath it\u2014the whole surrounded by a sheet of sky, which is mirrored and repeated within it.In 1822, in the Arctic region, Capt.Scores- by recognized, by its inverted image in the air, the ship Fame, which afterward proved to be seventeen miles beyond the visible horizon of his observation.Dr.Vince, Aug.7, 1805, at 6p m., saw from Ramsgate, at which place only the tops of Dover castle towers are usually visible, the whole of the castle.It appeared as though lifted up and bodily placed on the near side of the intervening hill.So perfect was this illusion that the bill itself actually could not be seen through the figure.Some forms of mirage are lateral as well as vertical, arising from unequal density of two contiguous vertical bodies of air.Thus, on Lake Geneva, a boat has been seen double, the two images some distance apart.Persons have been duplicated in the same way.Any one on a hot day, by placing his eye near to a beated\u2018wall, may see lateral mirages of objects at a distance, and nearly on a line with the wall.Here on the shores of Lake Ontario many beautiful and wonderful mirages are witnessed, The lake is so wide the opposite side jsnot at all visible.And yetduring some peculiar states of the atmosphere it isclearly outlined.A gentleman witnessed a most perfect mirage from Sheldon\u2019s point, Oswego.It was about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when a splendid view of the Canada shore was given.It extended from a point nearly opposite Oswego city to Cape Vincent, at points on the Jefferson county shore.Whole blocks of the city of Kingston were visible and localities distinctly defined.From Sack- ett\u2019s Harbor to Point Peninsula, ten miles distant, has appeared not more than two or three miles away, and so plainly in view that the limbs of trees were visible.Stoney island stood out plainly in view, and far beyond it could be seen Gallop and Duck island.Even the Canada shore in the vicinity of Long point and Prince Edward's bay was at times plainly in sight.A vessel has been seen sailing along the horizon with the hull uppermost, visible at Lake Bluff.Accompanyiog the appearance of the ship was that of mountains and hills as though the Canadian shore was coming intoview.A puff of wind apparently caused the whole pbantasmagoria to melt away as if by magle.In Syracuse, a distant city, a remarkable mirage was witnessed by many persons.It lasted two bours, and was best observed from University hill looking northwest over Onondaga lake.Lake Ontario was plainly visible, and, stretching out at an angle of twenty-five degrees of the horizon, it looked like an ocean.Prof.Comfort says that a few years previous a similar mirage occur- ed, and it was so distinct that by means of a glass he could discern a town, probably Kingston.Portions of Rochester and sections of the country lying south of it have been seen out in the lake six and ten miles distant, as though the city was standing erect in the air.Trains of moving gars and other objects were clearly defin the aerial phenomena continuing for nearly aa hour, A well-known lake captain has also witnessed a wonderful mirage out on Lake Ontario.While on his way from the St.Lawrence up the lake and near the islands known as the False Ducks, and while standing at the wheel, there suddenly burst into view the city of Oswego, thirty-two miles distant, with the gas-lights in the streets and all the appearances a town lighted up would present from a hillin the immediate vicinity at night.The light-house at Oswego, as well as others on the lake shore below as far as Sackett's Harbor, were distinctly seen.It was a sort of night mirage, and a rare sight indeed.It lasted for several minutes, then slowly faded away into darkness.At Rochester, which is about twenty miles inland from Lake Ontario, a mirage of a most surpassing character was \u2018witnessed by many.The entire northern sky as far asthe angle of bison was lighted above the landmark with the blue waters of Lake Ontario, while reflecting from her bosom could be seen the mountains, hills, valleys, bays, and rivers of the Canada shore inland for miles.The coast could be plainly seen mirrored over a stretch of fifty miles, and so perfect at one time that the forests could readily be distinguished.The reader can form some idea of its grandeur by knowing that a country separated from Rochester by a lake seventy miles in width was, as if suddenly by the hand of its creator, painted upon the heavens so plain as to be seen from a standpoint of near 100 miles distant.Gentlemen in Rochester who were familiar with the Canada shore could easily distinguish Rice Lake, Belvidere, and other prominent points in Canada.The lake looked as though it had by a great tidal wave rolled upon Rochester and covered one-half of the city, as no buildings could be seen north of Main street, or any land between the city and the lake, Upon land, mirages are best seen over desert plains in hot climates.The intense heat of the sands greatly rarifies the air in contact with thom, and rays of light coming from the distant objects are gradually bent by approaching the rare stratum until they strike at an angle greater than the limiting aogle.Total reflection then occurs, the air near thesand acting as a mirror, or a body of water in which inverted images are seen.Thus is presented to the inexperienced traveler over the desert plains the appearance of tranquil lakes, and, parched with thirst, he is sadly deluded by them.Many thrilling incidents are given where whole parties in crossing the sandy desert, oyercome with the heat and parched with thrist, have reached a place whence far in the horizon they saw, or thought they saw, a beautiful lake with branching palm trees pear it.Longing for the water and the cooling shade, they have disobeyed the warning \u2014 ew 6a 5 AGENTS WARTED

the desert sands.Lighting a Cigar in the W.ad.\u201cIt is quite a trick to light a cigar in the wind,\u201d said an old smoker to a Detroit Free Press man.\u2018It was along while before I learned how the thing was done.The average man generally finds when he is out driving and wants to light his cigar he has only one match way down in the corner of his pocket.He pulls it out and snapsaway; the flame sputters feebly, blazes a moment against the stiff breeze, and suddenly, just as the smoker is straining his neck and puffing away for dear life the match goes out.Isn't that vexatious ?\u201cOn the other band, there are men who can light a cigar in a hurricane, miles from civilization, with only the stub-end of a damp match, too.The trick belongs particularly to the Irishman, although why I am ata loss to state.Your real Irishman can light a cigar under any circumstancee, wind or no wind.I have often seen an Irish brakeman on a freight train perch himself jauntily on the top of the last car, pull out his stub clay pipe, fill it with tobacco, clutch the pipe firmly in bis testh, bring out bis broken splinter of a match, and then, while the train dashed around curves at the rate of thirty miles an hour, à tremendous breeze roaring in the very teeth of the solitary smoker, the little flame would flash merrily, and puff, puff, puff, the smoker would have accomplished his feat in triumph! Oh, yes, there's nothing like knowing how to do these things,\u201d said the old boaster, proudly, *\u2018and Ly the way,\u201d he added, have you a match ?\u201d The old smoker struck a light, pulled out his cigar, bit off the end, brought up his hand to shade the lame\u2014and right then and there, in the midst of his teachings, not a breath of air stirring, the match fluttered feebly and went out ! Senator Palmer\u2019g Contribution, There is a good story told about Senator Palmer when he was living in Washington, says the New York Press.It was his custom to go to church every Sunday morning and also his custom to put a single dollar on the plate.As he passed into church one Sunday morning, accompanied by his private secre tary, he began to search through his pocket with a dismayed look on his face.Turning to his companion he asked for the loan of a dollar, explaining that he had nothing but a $2 bill.The secretary could not accommodate the senator, but a bright thought ~ud- denly seemed to strike the latter, and he exclaimed : \u201cOh, well, I can fix it.\u201d \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t make change off the plate, would you 7\u2019 asked,the secretary, horrified at the thought.Never mind how I will do it,,\u2019 replied the senator ; you will see it done.\u201d When the plate came round the senator gravely took out his §2 bill tore it in two pieces in the middle, and laid one piece on the plate.After the service was over be walked forward to where the stowards were counting the collection money ahd asked the one who had come down his aisle if a mutilated 82 bill had been found on the plate, \u201cYes, and we don,t know what to do with it,\u201d was the man\u2019s reply.\u201cWell,\u201d said the senator, \u201chere's the other half, and you can have it for $1.That will make your half worth §1 to you, and $lis all I ever give.\u201d He got the dollar.Simply for His Digestion.\u201cPardon me, sir, may l ask if you notice the slightest traces of whisky about my breath or person?\u201d said a seedy looking individual to a New York Star man suddenly the other day, upon one of the elevated cars up-town.The truth should at all times be spoken.For several blocks I had been aware of ap intense, penetrating odor, as if 1 were in the immediate neighborhood of a distillery or adjacent to some peculiarly aggressive rec ipe for the popular \u201cbrandy peach.\u201d 1 glanced over the details of my questioner\u2019 attire\u2014at his threadbare dark clothes, his black cotton gloves and his well-inked \u2018beavers.\u201d Every one has seen the type.\u201cNow you speak of it,\u201d I replied, *I think I do detect something of that kind.\u201d \u201cYou don't tell me so, sir?\u2019 exclaimed the man, In apparent consternation.\u2018\u2018You don\u2019t really mean to say thatis a fact?Well, now, that is dreadfully unfortunate.You see, my business is a very exacting one, I am distributing tracts on the \u2018Evils of Intemperance.\u201d Iam an officer of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, and am working under a small salary for the good of a great cause; but\u2019\u2014here he became confidential\u2014*like everybody else I take an occasional \u2018horn,\u2019 just for my digestion, you know.No one can really get through the day without it, and if this thing is going to attract the attention of my patrons\u201d\u2014he paused and looked at me disconsolately\u2014* why, what is going to be come of my business?\u201d Overcertification of Checks.During the Pell trial in New York a bank cashier testified that the banks of the city.every one of them, were in the habit of over- certifying checks, whose daily aggregate amounted to millions.The judge of the criminal court was so amazed at this disclo sure that he asked the witness to repeat it, and with emphasis.Although the United States statutes forbid national banks to cer tify checks when the maker of them has ne funds

purpose of bringing about a better relationship between mistress and servant is under way in Philadelphia, where a registry office is to be established for the settling and the protection of the rights of both.To quote from a paragraph on the subject: The girl will be required to agree to the performance of all regular domestic duties peculiar to ber occupation, and the mistress agrees to the amount of wages paid and service expected, and all is signed in the presence of the President.Application blanks for both employer and employee, and inquiry blanks providing for admittancs to the privilege of the office, will be prepared, and upon fulfilling their requirements, servants will be admitted free of all expense, whileladies may enjoy the advantages of the institution by paying §3 annually or $1 per visit of inquiry.Servants will be expected to state where they last were at service and the cause of their dismissal References will also be examined and verified\u2014N.Y.Sun.The

KIDNEY, T.MILBUR} , BOWELS OR BLOOD, a & 00, Foran FOR SUMMER USE.« Popular as Now, One of the most popular floor coverings at present\u2014particuliarly for country houses\u2014is matting.Although always more or less in nse, dealers say the demand is greater just now than they have ever known it to be.In all the establishments where such goods are kept the newest importations show & vast improvement, both in design and col- bring.Lovely wool shades, neutral tints enlivened with dashes of bright color; others of a solid color, such as blue, brown, green, red, and tbe like, and varieties combining several colors, are all to be found.A new style of Japaness matting is of plain straw colored, ornamented at irregular intervals with odd Japanese figures in different shades of color.The China mattings, however, seem to be the most popular, Sand to include the choicest designs, At a Broadway establishment, devoted principally to floor coverings, can be seen a set of photographs which illustrate the entire process of making China matting.The first shows the workers bundling the straw preparatory to dying, and the others, in regular succession, the different stages through which it passes before becoming a perfect matting.When one considers that neither steam nor borse power is used, and that the work is done by band, it is the more astonishing that these goods can be imported and sold in this country at such low prices.The retail price in this city is from 10 cents a yard up, the very finest and handsomest qualities only bringing 45 and 50 cents.Until within a few years mattings were made in sections of tro yards or so and then joined, thereby causing one side of the goods to present rather a rough appearauce.Later manufactures are made in a continuous piece of usually forty yards, and the best grades are so finely woven as to bo almost as smooth on one side as on the other.The straw from which these goods are made is somewhat darker in color nearer the roots than elsewhere, which will account for one edge of a roll of matting being of a deeper shade of color than the other.In laying, careshould be taken that two of the lighter and two of the darker edges come together, which willgive the effect of alternate light and dark shading through the room.After the straw is dyed it is used while still damp, and when the weaving process is completed the matting is thorougnly dried before being packed for shipment.The more finely woven the matting the better it wears.In the loosely woven patterns, where large patches of plain color are introduced, the long strands fall an easy prey to constant friction end soon become loosened and broken, Matting rugs are a feature of this year's importations They coms in all sizes, have beautiful centres and handsome borders, where the colors are as skiilfully blended as in those made of more costly materials.Heretofore it has been the custom in this country to lay matting on a bare floor, but now, in many cases, a thick lining goes down first, which gives a luxurious feeling, almost equal to a carpet, In Japan it is customary to line all mattings with quilted straw.A Japanese house in miniature seen at one of the New York stores which deals only in Oriental goods, illustrates this.A rich woman of this town, who is also the happy possessor of an exquisite country home, is having her bedroom there newly carpeted with a pale blue matting well lined.The apartment opens upon a piazza partly covered with a vine which is odorless.\u201cI have always wished,\u201d said she, \u2018\u2018the vine was a honey-suckls, so that its fragrance might be wafted into my room.I am excessively fond of that odor, and have had a mixture of scented powders compounded by my druggist which approaches it as nearly as it is possible to do.Of this I am making several flat sachets which I will have placed between the matting and the lining, that I may enjoy the delightfully sweet perfume in my room at all times.It has not been possible to successfully manufacture matting in this couutry, owing to the lack of asuitable quality of straw, and even were the straw to be imported in the raw state, the cost to manufacture would be such asto put the price of our production beyond that of the imported article,\u2014N.Y.Herald.THE FEMININE SHIRT.Society Degards It as n Fashionable and Valuable Garment.The shirt has come to stay.A month ago it was regarded as a whim of the season, now it is established in favor and counted an indispensable feature of a well dressed woman's wardrobe.Heretofore Dr.Mary Walker had sole claims on the stiff shirt bosom.Later came Mrs, Jeannette Thurber in her tweed cutaway coat jauntily buttoned over a waistcoat and soft-finished shirt, and from the date of American opera to the last gasp of the Italian school she remained the one devotee of the feminine shirt in New York society.Now all the tailor- made girls in town are done up in stiff bosoms, standing collars and long cuffs, and the old- establi ed shirt-makers have been called upon to make to measure the nether garment s0 long the undisputed property of men.The result is & lady's shirt as snug fitting as a glove and as comfortable as a fichu, which under the lightest tailor-made bodice does not show a crease.By means of darts the usual bagginess at the sides is done away with, and but for the draw-string at the waist might be appropriated by the men.The most recent dovelopments, as adapted for ladies\u2019 wear, is the washing silk in twills of the neatest design.They are made to fit like the linen ones, have aband down the frontand a stiff collar, with enother to turn down over it.Perhaps the comfort as well as the jauntiness of these shirts forms their chief racom- mendation; they allow perfect freedom of movement, they are cool and always look osat and fresh.Not only are they seen on the promenade, under yachting, tennis and cycling jackets, but under well-fitting riding coats they are decidedly smart.From all appearances society has adopted the shirt as a fashionable and feminine garment.The Engagement Bracelet.- Speaking of jewelry, the latest fad in ens gagement bracelets is a band of dead gold from whieh dangle two translucent moonstone hearts.This is a relic of the fashion of a few years since, when a lover fettered his sweetheart with a bracelot fastened with a padlock, to which he kept the key.Many girls allowed themselves to be thus manacled by love and were proud of their bondage.It wasn\u2019t so charming if there cams a rupture.I knew one girl who spent an entire afternoon trying to release her wrist from ita golden fotters.She finally broke it with a shoe buttoner.Before marriage the lover generally wears the key upon his watch chain: afterwards he finds it & nusiance and restores it to his fair prisoner and she secures her bauble herself.But this fashion be came so common that itis no longer in vogue save among people who straggle along atthe tail of the procession.There was a time when only diamonds were permissible for engagement rings, but now sapphires and rubies are both allowable, Three rings indeed are often given now, each one set with different gems, and warm oneabove the other.It is also correct for the girl to give ber bethrothed a ring, an intaglio being very good form for this purpose.MOSES Hao ASTHMA.MY HUSBAND had asthma for aight years with severa congh, and his Jungs wera afferted.Ha conld neither ros, werk, ror get relief from any medicine he tried.Some time ago we got

the chair.Tie President asked Mr.John Gault to act 88 secretary.The secretary having read the adver tiseruent calling the meeting, the president submitted the following: \u2014 Annual Report of the Directors.The Directors of the Merchants Bank of Canada have pleasure in meeting the Stockbolders at the close of the year for the purpose of placing before them ths resuit of the business done during their term of oflice.The net profits of the year.after payment of interest and charges, and deducting appropriations for bad and doubtful debts, have amounteato.vena nae.0 $506,363 61 Balance from last year.3,458 3) Suil,s47 91 This has been disposed of as follows: Dividends No.42 and 43, at7 per freee.$103,044 00 .200,000 00 Carried forward to Pro Account of next year 5,908 81 S611,847 91 The business of the bank bas proceeded on the whole with steadiness and regularity, both in the mattar of deposits, circulation and discounts.The profits, however, have scarcely been equal to the expectations formed a year ago, inasmuch as the rate of interest allowed cn deposits has not borne a reasonable proportion to the rate of interest on loans and discounts.The business of the country in some departments has been prosperous, but in others the reverse.The cereal crops of Ontario proved to be considerably below the average.The wheat crop cf Manitoba, which at one time had a most promising appealance, was injured by a severe drought about the time of barvest.The quantity of grain from that source was theraby much diminished.Other farm products, however, have done well.The lumber trade was fairly remunerative.But the severity of competition affected almost all lines of manufacturing and importing business, A severe scarcity of money was ex- Ferienced during the winter, which occasioned the Directors and the General Management of the Bank some anxiety, and caused an unusual amount of cara to be necessary during the progress of the vear.This scarcity has been mitigated to some extent, but money is by no means plentiful.The resalt of the next harvest will be looked for with considerable anxiety.Though the number and amount of failures in the Dominion during the year bas been considerable, the Directors are glad to say that not many of their customers have been affected by these adverse times, and the losses have not been of an unusual amount.The final result of the business has enabled the Directors to add the sam of $200,000 to the Rest, which now amounts to the proportion of 40 per cent.on the paid-up capital.The important matter of the renewal of the Banking Act hes been beiore the Parliament of the Dominion during the recent session.As a result of its deliberations, 8 measure was passed which, in many respects, is an improvement on the Act now in force, and which will preserve unimpaired, the power of the Banks to accommodate their custome.s and carry on the business of the country.The Officers in the Bank\u2019s serv'ce have Mischarged their duties with zeal and fidelity, and to the entire satisfaction of the Board.The whole respectfully submitted.ANDREW ALLAN, President.Stateme:t ofthe Liabilities and Assets of the Bank at 21st

General Manager.The Presicent then moved, seconded by the Vice-President, Mr.Robert Anderson: * Thatthe report of the Directors as submitted be, and the same is hercby adopted and ordered to be printed for distribution amongst the Stéckholders Before putting the motion to the moet- ing tbe President called upon the General Manager, Mr.George Hazue, to make a fow remarks upon the annual report.The Gencral Manager\u2019s Address.The General Manager observed : As the wisdom of these annual addresses is sometimes called in question, 1 observe at the outset that it seems reasonable that the stockholders of banks, having ioterests in all parts of the Dominion, should be informed of those conditions of trade ard finance that bear upon those interests, LL Those who have the general direction of such banks have the best opportunities of forming an accurate acquaintance with these matters.The pressure to do this, and to take means for doing it well, 18 upon such bankers every day in the year.There is not an interest in the country that is not your interest.A In speaking at these annual meetings, of every trade and industry in the Dominion, from Nova Scotia on the Atlantic to British Columbia on the Pacific, we are not travelling one iota beyond matters that affect the busiu 83 and profits of the Bank.; The fact is, the various provinces of the Deminion are bound together by a much stronger bond of interest than some persons suppose.There is one item in our balance-sheet that is the tinal testof the whole position of the bank, namely, loans and bills discounted.If you examined the lists that make up the total of over sixeten millions, you would find bills of persons in every line of trade, not only in the provinces where the bulk of our branches are situated, but in British Columbia, the Nortk- west Territories, the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland, And no bank with many branches can be successfully conducted unless the men at the head of it keep themselves in touch with all that is going on throughout the whole extent of the country.The interests of this bank indeed are most diversified.The Merchants\u2019 Bank is not the largest in Canada, as you know, but it is owned by nearly 1,700 stoekholders.It is our business to earn dividends for them and such as can be fairly relied on.- We have a vast army of depositors living in all parts of Canada, who are customers and friends of the bank, They number over 13,000.The bank has gerved them faithfully in the past, and we mean to serve them faithfully in the future.We have another army of customers who require loans and discounts to carry on their busifess.They number between three and four thousand.It is a heavy responsibility to conduct this part of the Bank\u2019s business, with due regard to the interest of the borrowers as well as of the Bank.We desire to avoid unduly cramping those who are carrying on legitimate business, and at the same time to avoid encouraging injudicious trading by a too free supply of borrowed money.For experience shows that for one man who is injured by not having power to borrow enough, ten are injured, and many of them ruined, by borrowing too much.Competition between Banks can be deperded on to prevent the former, but it is to be regretted that the abuse of competition bas often brought disaster both to the customer and the Bank in the opposite direction.Nearly every loss made by the Banks of Canada can be traced to this cause, and the practice of borrowing from more than one Bank greatly facilitates it.Our own experience is that when a customer has failed, it is almost invariably tbe case that he has had discounts from more than one Bank.It is our aim to treat our customers well, and especially to support those who entirely rely on us.The task of keeping the trading community supplied with adequate funds, bears heavily and contin- vously upon the judgment and fortitude of Bankers.1n addition to the above, every Bank has a number of holders of its notes.These creditors are protected by law, and very properly, for they do not enter into a contract with the Bank as do the others.All these classes have a close cons nection with one another.They are bound in a comraunity of interost which is finally focussed round the board table and in the room where we staad to-day.I name these thinge not as being new but simply to show that we appreciale the responsibilities attaching to the working of this great corporation.Whether with that appreciation there is also judicious management, the results of every year\u2019s business must bear testimony.For whatever theories we may advance, the management of à bank must be 'udged by results.RESULTS OF THE WORKING OF THE BANK.The results of the working of the bank gince its capital was re-adjusted twelve years ago, have been placed before you every year.It may be worth while today to look back on this period and cote what has been accomplished.For the first three years, viz.,1878,1879, and 1880 a condition of depression prevailed in Canada, and the large sum which was reserved as a contingent fund on the re-organization of the bank, was gradually depleted until it was reducead to a mere nothing.During this time the bank only earned suflicient to pay 6 per cent.dividend.The depression which had prevailed for seven years passed away in the beginning of 1881.From that time the course of the Bank has been steadily upwards.Dividends have been increased from G per cent.to 7 per cent.and have been 80 maintained.The * Rest\u201d has been increased from $475,000, which is all we had ten years ago, to $2,325,000.During the first few years so many of the Bank\u2019s customers failed that the amount of indebtedness of such insolvent customers to the Bank exceeded seven miilions of dollars.The net lors sustained is now a matter of history, It was dealt with long ago.But the failure of such a number of persons left the Bank with a largely reduced clieatelle.It was extremely difficult during thase years to make even the moderate dividend we then paid.This Bank had as able a body of directors as ever sat round a Board table, Some of these have passed away.Others still remain to lend the weight of thair great influence and knowledge of business to the management of the Bank.Under the administration of the Board during the last ten years, a business has been built up that is largely a new creation.This business has on the whole been very satisfactory.While none can claim to be infallible, tbe stockholders may rest assured that no mistakes involving serious and heavy losses have been made for many years back, For your information I will give you the position of the Bank as it was ten years ago and now: Its capital

as a sort of breakwater to defend the capital and to preserve your property.It serves, also to guarantee your dividends, and to prevent a repetition of the unfortunate events of twelve years ago.The \u201cRest\u201d now amounts to 40 per cent.of the capital Canadian banks have generally settled to the conclusion that a \u201cRest\u201d of 50 per cent.should be accumulated.I need not say this has my hearty concurrence, as 1 was among the first in Canada to emphasize1t.And experience confirms its wisdom.Some Day think that such a reserve fund would be too large.Bat in looking over the masses of loans and discounts of the Bank, and considering the risks involved in them, I have often thought the Bank can never have too large a Rest.For, after all, the true method of considering a Rest is to iook at its proportion to the risks carried on our books in the shape of losus and discounts.Viewed in this light, a Rest of 50 per cent.on the capital would be by no rceans & large one.REVIEW OF THE YEAR'S BUSINESS, This year has been a difficult one.The results are not bad, seeing that we have paid you the usual dividend and added $200,000 to the Rest.But both profits and losses have been affected by unforeseen circumstances.The crop of cereals in many parts of Canada was considerably below the average.A short supply ought to bring aboat better prices.But it is not the crop of Canada that determines the price of cereals.It is tha crops of the world.Our farmers, then, for a diminished crop, got a range of low prices.This simply means a diminution to the extent of millions of dollars of deposits, circulation, and earning power to the banks as a whole.It is to be noted, however, that the crops growing on the ground are not of the relative importance to Canada as a whole, that they used to be when Canada simply consisted of the provinces of Oa- tario and Quebec.Our great dairy and cattle interests, and even such apparently trifling matters as eggs, have all become prominent of late years as sources of profit.Dairy products and animals of various kinds have been estimated as contutribing fully one-half to what is sold from our farms.In respect to these, our farmers, on the whole, have had a fair year.Our forests still afford a supply of tim- berthat would be practically inexhaustible If properly conserved.European governments have long had to give attention to this matter.It may soon become a pressing question in Canada.The lumber business requires for its prosecution an enormous amount of capital in proportion to its annual volume.Much of it is owned by individuals in the trade, but a very large sum in the aggregate ig contributed by the banks.This capital has bad a fair return, on the whole, during the year.There have been exceptions no doubt,and legislation the United States will require careful attention from the Dominion Government.Our mining, manufacturing and importing interests, together with our fisheries, have all contributed their usual quota to the volume of business done by the banks.This bank has no branches in the Maritime Provinces, though we have large indirect interests there.It is a satisfaction to learn that business on the Atlaftic coast has been highly satisfactory during the year.The same may be said of business in British Columbia.But banking profits are below what is commensurate with its risks.In this respect banking here compares unfavorably wieh the Australian colonies aad Great Britain, LOSSES, An effort, as you are aware, was made during the recent Parliamentary session to compel the banks to publish the amount of their losses.Parliameat, however, though disposed at first so entertain the proposal, on further considera- ation declined to allow this provision to become law.I will, however, tell you one or two thingi abous the losses of the year that may interest you.During the year, in the circle of our customers, there have been a certain number of failures and embarrassments.In a number of these cases the bank loses nothing, Our ggourities bring us out.In a majority of those that remain our loss will be less than $1,000, In none of the other cases was the loss a serious one, considering the magnitude of our business.But I muck regret to say that the largest of them all was brought about by uniaitbhfu!ness on the part of one of the officers of the Bank.This loss remained after his bondamen had honourably discharged their oblizatious.These are rare experiences.The Bank has only bad two during the last fifteen years.May we never have another, Had it not been for this untoward oc: currence the losses for even such a year as this would bave amounted to lers than the average.In addition to loss from actual failures, we hava thought it prudent to make provision for some cases where failure has not taken place and where loss is only apprehended.This information with regard to losses should be sufiicient.Whether the same amount of information will be communicated in future must be left to the judgment of those who have the direction of the Bank.It should be borre in mind that thonzh these are technically meetings of stockholders they have become, by reason of publication, practically meetings of citizens.\u2018The tearing of this remark, I think, will be apparent.BANKING LEGISLATION, You are aware that during the recent session of Parliament a measure has been passed for extending the charters of the banks until 1501.The Banking Act now in force is a complicated measure of about ninety clauses.Ycur rights and responsibilities as stock- hoiders are regulated by this Act.Banking, I may say, as a simple business and apart from the issuing of notes, can be carried on by private firms without any Act of Parliament to regulate it.Buf cCircumstances in this country have brought about a general organization of banking on a joint stock principle, that is by duly constituted corporations.This necessitated provisions of law with regard to the issuing of notes, the liability of stockholders, and the manner in which stock is to be held, transferred and bequeathed, with regard also to lending, discounting and taking secarity, the position and powers of Directors, and a multitude of other matters with which you are no doubt familiar.From time to time disputes have arisen in regard to the operation of various clauses in our Banking Acts.To guard against these new provisions have been introduced, until in course of years this Banking Act with its 59 clauses has become what it is.Under this law, which expires next year, the business of the Banks has to be conducted day by day all the year round.Bankers, therefore.have ascertained by experience wherein such a measure is defective and what would be desirable in future legislation.It will not surprise you therefore to learn that many conferences of Bankers took place with regard to the renewal of the act, There was a general agreeinent that certain improvements were desirable.1.That bank notes should be made to pass without discount all over the Dominion, 2.That in the event of a bank failing, though its circulation is preferential lien, its notes should pe kept at par until liquidation.3.Tnat measures be taken to still further strengthen the security of the note- holder under all possible coatingencies.4.That additional precautions for the protection of the public should ba taken in granting new charters, 5.It was considered also that the clauses regulating advances on the security of merchandise could be much simplified, and that the returns to be made to the Government might be made clearer and less open to misconception.The representations of the banks were received with all possible consideration by the Government, and their recommendations were generally adopted.The Government, however, had views of their own upon several matters which they courteously communicated for con- gideration.Some of these were considered so objectionable that we felt constrained to oppose them, not only in your interest, but in the public interest.The proposcl to make it compulsory upon stockholders to appoint auditors was judged to be inappropriate to the circumstances of Canadian banks, that an audit, in fact, would be necessarily imperfect and illusory.The proposal to compe! the holding of a fixed reserve of money in proportion to their liabilities was demurred to by a large majority.It was pointed out that to insist upon the banks keeping locked up in their safes at all times any fixed sum of money would interfere with the rights of creditors, to meet whose demands all a banker's cash is held.It was shown that such a measure had never been tried in practice except in the United States, and that there when banks attempted to keep the law violent fluctuations in the rate of interest ensued.And, further, that circumstances nearly every year had compelled them to disregard the law altogether.The proposal of an audit and of a fixed regervo were therefore withdrawn.Another proposal for the transfer to the Government of all moneys of depositors and stockholders unclaimed for a period of years was deemed objectionable.This was finally modified so as only to require the sending of annual statements to the Finance Department of balances unclaimed for five vears.With regard to the further securing of the circulation, the banks had proposed the gradual formation of a guarantee fund ; not that this was deemed necessary, but as an evidence of the willingness of the banks to go even beyond what was needful in order to make their notes absolutely secure.The Government, however, modified this proposal so as to make the provisions dangerous.The chief part in opposing this dangerous modification was taken by the Bank of Montreal.On its real bearing being pointed out, the Government consented to alter the clauses in such a way that they could be carried out by the banks without danger.During the progress of the bill through the House a remarkable absence of political feeling was manifest.Members of both parties gave themselves to the work of considering how to make the Act as nearly perfect as possible.We were much indebted for assistance to members on both sides of the House of Commons and of the Senate who are connected with banking institutions.The measure will come into effect in July next year, and will amend the present act in the following particulars:\u2014 It provides a banking currency that will circulate at par in every part of the Dominion, and guaranteed not only by being made a preferential lien on all the resources of the Bank, but by a guarantes fund in the hands of the government.These notes in case a bank fails will be guarded against depreciation by being made to bear interest until liquidation takes place.No new banking corporation can be chartered unless $250,000 of capital be actually paid into the treasury instead of $100,000 only as at present.Banks are empowered to lend on the security of merchandise to certain classes of traders, and to take security thereon by a simple assignment on a specified form.Power is given tostockholders of banks either to increase or decrease the capital, subject to approval by the Treasury Beard.And the returns to be made by the banks will he made more clear and simple.Commencing then on 1st July, 1891, the Dominion will have a Banking law, which, on the whole, is likely to banefit every interest of the country.POSITION AND PROSPECTS OF BUBINESY, With regard to the prospects of business in the country it has already been obeerved very appropriately in another place, that it is not wise to forecast too much.The same thing has been said on this flocr more than once.I shall not attempt much in that direction, but may simply remind you, and it is safe, I think to go so far, that Canada as a country has attained such astate of development that an assured general progress may he looked for notwithstanding temporary drawbacks.We have a vast and diversified area of farming lands, and a body of farmers who are, as a whole, year by year vecoming more conversant with their business.The farmers snd farming lands of Canada are generally as good as any to he found on this continent.The business has not been so remunerative for some years back.But that is no new thing with either farming or any great industry.In mv short experience I can remember times in which for years together farming in England had periods of prolonged depression, and the value of land depreciated heavily.But the farming interest recovered itself again and went on prosperously year after year in succession.When we remember that the farms of Canada have been hewn out of the depths of untrodden forests and brought to their present condition (largely within the memory of living men) by the labor and skill of the farming class, one certainly need not despair of what our farmers may do with the land in future years.They have already created properties worth hundreds of millions.And think the farmers of Canada are not the men to allow a few years of adverse circumstances to discourage them.i eco 0 \u2014_ 2 There is room for improvement on the part of some farmers, no doubt.If a farmer (and there are some such) knows à mere nothing about his business, or pays no attention to À, or if he is not ready to adopt modern improvements, or falls into lazy or intemperate habits, 1t is not likely that he can prosper, po matter what the seasons are.But there are not many of this sort amougst us.Legislation on both sides of the line bas to do with the condition of farmers as well as every class of persons amongst us.Without saying a word about the wisdom or unwisdom of particular leg'sia- tion, which I think would be out of place, I'may say that the farmers and people of Canada have generally shown themselves able to adapt themselves to tbe new legislative conditions.There is no reason to doubt their ability to do this in the future.To correct some prevailing misconceptions, I may say thatalarge amount ard a great number of deposits made in the banks, lying there at this day, are from farmers.We have ourselves more than two thousand farming depositors who have lying at their credit with us more than a million dollars.And weat may surPrise some persons I may say that the banks lend a considerable amount of money to farmers.We have at our various !.ranches over seven bundred farmers who borrow money from us.This class of business consists almost wholly of small temporary loans, and hasgenerally proved yery satisfactory.In pll cases where it has not, the fault has been in allowing a farmer to borrow too much.No farmer in a good position and living near to a chartered bank finds any difficulty in getting temporary loauns,and when he is so fer from a banking town that the \u2019ourney would cost more than the money is worth, he can generally find a private banker in his own neigh- boshood who is ready to lend him money.And if a private banker charges more than a chartered banh the farmer is recompensed by the saving in time and labor in undevtaking the journoy.I have glready spoken of dairy industries.One great advantage of these is that instead of impoverishing the soil they enrich it.The advantage of this is being more appreciated in all parts of the country.Even in Manitoba, the natural home of wheat production, dairy farming is rapidly coming to occupy the place it deserves.There is no part of the country in which cattle and horses thrive better than in the Northwest.On the great Cattle ranches at the foot of the Rocky Mountairs, the herds are rapidly mul tiplyiug and will soon be numbered by the hundred thousand, affording a steady line of exports growing year by year.Our gieat lumber ang timber interests are almost wholly affected by the condition of trade in the United States and England.The saw millers who find their market in the United States are likely to hava a fairly prosperous season, though the legislation formerly referred to may prove a drawback.In the manufacturing of timber for \u2018the English market there has been a considerable development during the year, follcwing upon the demand arising out of a revival of trade in Great Brit ain.It is to be hoped that this production will continue to meet a good market and be disposed of at satisfactory prices.But it will be prudent to currail production somewhat next vear.Our manufacturing industries are becoming more diverse and their interests more complicated every year.And it is becoming more evident that nothing but practical knowledge applied to all the detzils of business day by day can bring about success in any line of mannfactur- ing.Fhe idea that it needs nothing but to erect a mill, stock it with machinery and set it going, to make money, has been dissipated by the logic events.Success comes only by practical knowledge, close attention to details, aud watchful scono- my.In all these respects we are gaining ground every year, and we are also educating a manufacturing population.Our various lines of importing business are cubject very much to the same style | of remark.It is evident more aud more that nothing but a practical kuowledge of the goods dealt In, of the best markets in which to buy, and of the varying tastes and circumstances of the population, combined with a reasonable capital and good financial management, can possibly lead to success.This applies both to the wholesale and retail trade.But with respect to the wholesale trade, the force of capital is becoming more important as a factor every year.And every year it is becoming more important to have the crediting department of a wholesale house under watchful management.For it is gener- aliy here, rather than in the business department of a house, that the mistakes are made which bring about insolvency.And this leaps me to say what has been said again and again before, Lut we must keep on saying it, that in many departments of the wholesale trade the credit given and taken is unreasonably long, bad for the buyer, bac for the selier and not good for the consumer.Itis one chief hindrance to success and prosperity.Capital is frittered away by it and the labor of years lost.If there is one thing that calls for attention, for persistent labor, and even for sacrifice, until things are put ona better fcoting, it is the credit system of Canada.Of the intimate connection of this with banking I heed not say a word.All the crediting of the country is finally re- {flected and focused in the bill cases of the banks.The extraordinary railway development of the country during the last few years has often excited attention.This has a most intimate bearing upon the development of the country.Without the means of communication the finest territory is valueless, In Ontario and Quebec our railway systems are so ramified that they now reach within a few miles of every man\u2019s door.But it is in the Northwest that our great hope of future development through a well devised system of railway extension mainly centres.There is land there and room for a population of several millions.The effect of such à population, if we had it, on the commerce and banking of the Dominion generally, would be hard to over-estimate.The foundations are laid already.Lat us hope that within a reasonable time these great stretches of fine country will be occupied by a productive population whose wauts will give an impetus to our manufactures and imports, and whose productions will swell our exports to many times their present proportions.All which would tend to the advantage of the great centres of trade in Canada and to the increase of the business of the banks.STAFF.Let me Bay a word in conclusion about our staff of officers.In the servi ft Bank alter vice of the Ban we have a staff of 220 perse soprother phirty-seven are managers ar

to carry on the fies successfully.I desire to remind the stockholders on this occasion that they have a number of valable servants wbo never make their appearance at the annual meeting and are or the most part entirely unknown to hem, but whose character, ability and pocd conduct are of the very essence of he management of the Bank.They have endeavored to serve yoy aithfully in the past and with some amount of success.I speak for every member of the staff along with myseif in saying that it will be our endeaver to do at least as well in the future.The President: We will bs happy to hear any remarks from any of the shareholners present upon the business of the Bank or to answer any question which they may desire to ask.Mr.John Morrison, in the course of some remarks, advocated the completing of the capital to £6,000,000, which would require an amount equal to 2,008 shares at par, and he moved that eignt shares be sold to the highest bidder, and the proceeds added to capital and reat, the remaining 2,000 shares to be given as a bonus to stockholders.There being no seconder to the motion it fell to the ground.Mr.John Crawford alluded to the resolution proposed by Mr.Morrison and suggested to the Board that the increasing of the capital to a round $6,060,000 would lift the bank out of a third classto a second class position.He did hope that the question would hereaftar occupy the Board.Speaking of the rebate on discount, he said that almost ali the banks gave the specific amount of rebate taken from the net profits every year, and he wished to know whether in the Merchants Bank that amount bad been deducted from the net profits or if the practice had been the s2me as obtained in the Bank of Montreal up to the past year.Turning his attention to the new Banking act, he said that bankers and others who held divergent views upon that act aired them generously before the public, the clause relating to the guarantee circulation fund being signally selected for criticism, and to far ss he was able to learn it was unsparingly condemned, chiefly owing to a compromise between prirciple and expediency.He was glad that the General Manager had approved of the Act.But be would like to have been at the meeting when the Directors, in their wisdom, assembled the stockbolders thirteen years ago to hear a report on the condition of the bank.The amount of the losses was then fully stated, though it was greater than at any time since the present General Manager assumed office.He was astonished that this had not been continued.If there were anything in this matter that was detrimental to the interests of ths Bank he would say * Don\u2019t give it\u201d But the Government had no alternative ; they were entitled to demand from Banks the publication of their debts, due, not due, and overdue, together with an estimate of the probable loss that might accrue thereon.The motion to adopt the report was carried unanimously.Mr.Hague, in reply to Mr.Crawforl regarding the increase of the capital, said that if it were a mere matter of putting the figures there it could be dons to-morrow, but it would involve a disturbance of the relations between the Capital and the Rest.It would also in volve the prying out of $11,000 a year more of the profits, while it would be doubtful if they could make $14,000 more out of the additional capital.Probably some day, however, the Board would bring the matter before the shareholders.In connection with the matter of rebate, it was one in which the practice of bapks in Canada has been different for a long time.He believed that it was the Bank of Toronto\u2014he was the cashier at the time\u2014which first made an entry for rebate on bills discounted.It was a very reasonable proposition, and the Merchents Bank would no doubt make the entry in their books at some time.{Concluded on fifth page.] fficerg rate impor.attention at nagement, Bick Headache and relieve all the
