[" COMMERCIAL REVIEW AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.Em FORTY-RIGHTH YEAR.| MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 15, 1893.{MO Pa ba Toe SUMMARY.It is reported that Russia proposes to abrogate the free port privileges of Visdivostock on the coast of the Hea of Japan.The persons killed by the explosion in the theatre at Barcelona were buried last Thursday.The funeral was public and enormous crowds followed the bodies to the graves.An ordinance has been issued dy Rus a's Government reducing the amount of roubles which a traveller ts permitted to take out of the country fres of duty, from 100 to 60.Herr Grandnaure, editor of the \u2018Saus- chege Arbelter Zeitung,\u2019 Dresden, who wad arrested last month on the charge of propagating socialism among his comrades, while serving hls time In the army, has been releused from prion.\u2018The Pope has completed his encyeli- cal on biblical study, mention of which was made in thess despatches come months ago.His Holiness, in the encyclical, gives rules for the exegetical oterpretation and the methods of so- Jution of biblical difficulties, \u2018The present United States administra.ton has given a direct snub to all who desire the annexation of the Hawnilan Islands by the declaration that the decision that deprived Hawall of the lawful government was wrong, and that it must be undone.The United States Becretary of State says: \u2018Our Government was the first to recognize the independence of the islands, and it should be the last to acquire sovereignty over them by force or fraud.\u2019 The Quebec Legislature was opened on Wednesday with the Speech from the Throne.This was longer than usual, and spoke of the condition of provincial affairs hopefully, regarding the exhibit of the province at the World's Fair as perticularly creditable, It especially alluded to the school exhibit, though the Protestant teachers repudiated as unworthy the Protestant exhibit while holding their convention.The Sppech caused much discussion, and the Hon.Mr.Marchand criticised the taxations and loans of the Govern ment It was carried, however, and the session procesded.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE SITUATION IN MOROCCO.London, Nov.1L\u2014A special despatch from Melilla eays that shortly after the forts and gunboats re-opened fire on the RifMans, the leaders of the tribesmen, under flag of truce, approach- od Melilla In order to advance further arguments why an armistice should be sgreed upon until Wednesday next.Gen.Macias declined to enter Into further negotiations, except on the basis of their submission.The Spanish commander believed that the expressed desire of the Riffians to secure n terupo- rary cessation of hostilities was part of & plan to gain time in which Lo secure supplies of food.He, however, told them that he would give them until 220 o'clock this afternoon to definitely decide whether they would accede to his ultimatum, which, in effect, was submit or fight When the time expired there was no sign from the RIf- flans that they intended to proffer their submission.Gen.Macias waited until 3.60 o'clock, and then the artillery at Melilla and the neighboring forts opened fire upon the natives, who still occupy the trenches near the Spanish outposts.The warships also began to throw shells In the direction of the enemy's lines.The despatch declares that war has now been definitely opened, and that it will not end until Spain can dictate her own terms to the Sultan of Morocco.Gen.Macias (a asking urgently for relnforce- ments.The Melila authorities selsed to-day a quantity of arms and ammmu- nition at the house of a Spanish ex- convict, \u2018The convict and ms wealthy Jew, who was his accomplice, were arrested, and wiit be brought before a court-martial for trial.The Spanish Government has sent another note to the Sultan asking him to give a guarantee of the payment of the whole cost of the Melilla expedition.The guarantee probably will be a llen on the customs receipts of the principal ports of Morocco, Madrid, Nov.13.\u2014Reinforcements embarked at Malaga yesterday for Melilla.They will raise the strength of the Bpanish force thers to 22,000.Gen.Maciss has begun building & fort on

Natabels Masiacres THE KHEDIVE MUTINOUS AGAIN.THE PRIXCE OP WALES, DUKE OF RDIXAURON AXD MR GLADSTONE.{Bhecial Cable to New York \u2018Times.\") London, Nov.11.\u2014During the next few weeks it Is understood that there will be concerted wholesale arrests of professed and suspected Anarchists in the various capitals of Western Europe, great pressure being brought to bear on the Eng- Hah Foreign Oftice to join this crusade and draw a dragnet through Soho and other revolutionary hiding quarters in London; but thus far the Calinet has not decided that England ought to take such a atep.This hesitation is leading seml-official papers of France and Spain into absurd declarations that England for her own sinister purposes ls encouraging the dynamite propaganda In countries opposed to the triple alliance.This stand- Ing night of divided Europe colors even such a broadly international proh- lem ms that which the Continental poilce speak of as the \u2018black hand.\u2019 The Spanish police methods and the general governing machinery are In such a state of mediueval backwardness that for the past few years Anarchists and murderous cranks of all varieties, as one civilized centre after another got too hot for them, have been flocking Into Spain.Neither Madrid nor Barcelona contained an appreciable foreign element a decade ago.Now they are full of little poly- slot cafes and semi-public clubs where German beer and Russian allash are drank, and Emma Goldman would feel herself as much at home as Ravachol.These evil gueats have had the most vicious influence, by Inspiring and organising the latent Bpanish ruffianism, but it Is supposed that they would not have made an active dynamite campaign in Spain had it not been for the energetic fashion with which Martinez Campos set to work to detect and suppress them.He became early convinced that there was no other issue In our time Lalf so important as the crushing of the Anarchists, and he not only stirred up the Spanish authorities to unheard of vigt- lance, but vigorously strove io bring about an international concert of action, For doing thia it had been decided to kill him, and the shocking opera house massacre at Barcelona was planned beczuse he had announced he would attend that evening.It is beileved that the man who threw the bomb was an allen unacquainted with Campos\u2019s appearance, who took for granted that he would be present.An English mine owner lu Valencia, who han just arrived in London cn a visit, tells me that the public Is so coi vinced that the Marshal will be assassi: ated sooner or later, that wherever he goes people hurry to the other side of the street so as to be out of the way of «+ possible explosion.Information 1s expected early next week of à decision in the Cabinet to take some action with \u20ac view to ending the coal war, which long since reached the point of a national calamity and is now trankly unendurable.All the relief now being generously poured (nto Yorkshire and Lancashire will not prevent the famine there getting worse each week.Correspondents on the spot describe the condition of thousands in the West Riding as fireless, foodless, shoeless, naked and the whole district as one seething mass of misery.The death rate has gone up to something dreadful.What a crushing blow this long suspension has dealt industries of every descrip'ion can be guessad by the fact that the seven principal railways which are coal carriers show a diminution of receipts In the past seventeen weeks of an aggregate of $9,000,000.Although every few days some mine owner slips away from the Federation and opens his pits, the majority is fighting desperately to keep the ranks golid, and with orly too much success.It In now proposed to form an owners\u2019 fund, out of which such weaker proprietors as are losing heavily by ldlenesy will be recouped by the others and bribed to keep their pits closed.To-day's \u2018Chronicle\u2019 declares that this deliberate enllst- ments of the gaunt spectre of want against the men fs nearly a parali=l in infamy to the poisoning wells, water, or wenpons of strife\u2014an expresston v hich I quote in order to Indicate the flerce pitch of earnestness that the strugxie has reached.Even If the lock-out should collapse soon, there is no chance of the price of coal to the general consumer falling below $7 befors Christmas.\u2018The present Increase of 100 percent 18 playing most gruesome havoc with all the moderates Incomea and quite martyr Ising the poorer classes, 'Ine curious result is the existing strentious scotomy of household firen in London.Thun far we have had not a single fog.though usually fox In at its worst in November.Humiliation and disgust at the ma- thine-gun massacres of the Alntabeles are expressed more generally than ever, The attempt to bring the protest inte politics has not succeeded.The truth 18 that Rhodes has the Mome Covern- mont In & cieft stick.He has conquered Matabeleland and annihilated Lo- bengula off his own bat without Imperial help and made it clear that any Imperial attempt to intervene between him and his quarry now will be met with instant, resolute defiance by the whole group of Bouth African colonies.Thin would Involve too much bother and expenee, and vo the Radicals must swallow thelr wrath and let the Ministry make the best terme with him Lhey can.This nuestion of expense has suddenly become one of the most anxious and of vital importance to the English Government 1all of revenue lsat yeor was serious enough; the tumble this year hi ens to be tremendous.Harcourt is growing a broken old man under the burden of creating a budget next ycar which will not knock Liberal charces in the country endwise.It is already clear that there must be a further addition to the Income tax, and a whole lot of new taxes have got to be Invented.Perhaps the very desperateness of the situation will force the Minisiry to re sort against their wills to that dream of progressive Madicallsm\u2014taxation of ground rents.What mnkes the matter worse is the fact that England, whether she Jlkes it or not, must, without the delay of a moment, begin the construction of a number of new iron-clads.All the designing and materiais departments of the Admiralty are In an extraordinary state of bustle preparing for this work, and Lord Spencer, who han already alluded to these Intentions, will very soon announce officlaily details of & new addition to the navy.This is the first and most obvious result of the Russian fleet having come around into the Med- terranean to stay.Long before the keels are laid of the vessels which Bn, land must bulld to offset thk as if the firat occasion for need of them will have come and gone.There has been very disquieting news from Cairo during the past ten days And in the lobby of the Houne last night an ex-Cablnet Minister, whose special Knowledge of the subject can hardiy be matched, told me the news of & fresh attempt by the Khedive to mutiny against Lord Cromer.This would not surprise Downing Street any day.Such à demonstration will now be on an entirely different footing from the former fruitless flash-In-the-pan.Nothing could prevent the new Franco-Russian naval union in Eastern waters from becoming instantaneously a prominent factor in the affair.It becomes clearer weekly that it was England primarily who was aimed at by this entente, and that $t is she and not the triple alliance who bas Bot to hustle to hold her own.It is probable that, so long as the Queen lives, the British public wifi not again see the Prince of Wales and his next oldast brother together.Since the Duke of Edinburgh succeeded to the Coburg ducal crown he has been entitled to precedence as a reigning sov- erelgn and by his mother's decree he is now being paid these regal honors during his visit In England.His desire to sme them fin full working order in the presence of his brother has been, however, frustrated.A whimsical hint as to the long-standing character of this desire was given me last night.When Kalakaua was here years ago he was in much difficulty about his pre- cedance.He refused to go to the gain opera performance without the cavalry escort of a sovereign, and when a squadron of hussars was sent he ordered them back and would have the Royal Horse Guards or nothing.His place in the Court procession was anxiously debated, and the Duke of Zdinburgh angrily pro- icsted against walking behind him.The Prince of Wales took the opposite view, and finally settled the dispute by the memorable dictum : \u2018Damn it all, either the man fs a king or he Is an ordinary nigger Either he goes before you agd me or he has no business here at all, except with a napkin over his arm.\u2019 Mr.Gladstone bore himself erectly and walked with a firm step as the chief pall-bearer at Sir Andrew Clark's \u2018une.ral in Westminster Abbey to-day, but his face looked very palild and saddened.Great efforts were made all the week to prevail on him not to attend, for there la experience, as well as superatition, behind the feeling that old men get their deaths chiefly at fune- rails, But he could not be dissuaded, and his life is such a standing triumph over ordinary rules and theories that the hope Is cherished that he will come to no harm.= \u2014_\u2014 THE HAWAIIAN

\u2018William Tell\u2019 was being given before a crowded audience of the elite of the city's socle:y.A frightful panic followed.Fifteen persons were killed and many injured.A hundred women were hurt, a number of them being badly mangled.London, Nov.6.\u2014A despatch received here this morning from Liarceiona gives additional details of the Anarchist outrage at the Lyceum Opera House In that city last night.This despatch says that after the explosion occurred there wi a terrible scene in the Opera House, alt those who were not injured or were only slightly injured fighting like wild beasts to escape.They expected every moment that other bombs would be thrown and in thelr haste they respected no age or sex.Shrieks and curses were heard on all sides and pandemonium reigned.Some of the bravest of the men sought to protect the women, but they were swept away like chaff before the fear-crazed mob that filled the aisles.Men and women, seeing that it was useless to attempt to force their way through the fAghting and howling mob, climbed over the backs of sests and sought to reach the door In this manner.A great number of people were more or leas seriously hurt in the struggle, but !t ta considered wonderful that many of them were not killed outright.Notwithstanding the frightful confusion, the lower part of the bullding was emptied in a few minutes of all but the officials and dead and Injured.The stalls were completely wrecked by the explosion.There were many ladies occupying these stalls, and a great many of them were Injured, some reports placing the number as high as a hundred.They presented a moat plitiable sight.All were attired in full dress and as they were carried out many of them were In a dead faint.Their dresses were torn into shreds and their faces, shoulders and arms were drenched with blood.They looked as though they had been through a desperately fought battle.It is sald that several of those killed were members of one family that occupied a stall close to where the bomb that exploded fell.Many persons who had seats a considerable distance away from the [spot were injured by flying splinters.Doctors were speedily summoned and were assiduous in their attentions to the injured.Three persons were found dead on the stairways, while several others who had been badly crushed were found lying on the floor near the exits.\u2018The passages of the theatre were turned into hospitals.Priests were summoned and they administered the last rites to those whom the doctors said could not recover from the effects of their.injuries.They also acted as assistants to the physicians, helping them to wash the blood from the victims and to bandage up the horrible, gaping wounds.While not thus engaged they tried to convole the relatives of those who had been killed or hurt, who flocked to the theatre as soon as they learned of the disaster.The crowd that gathered outside the buliding when the first intelligence of the outrage spread swelled in numbers throughout the night.It seemed to embrace about half the population of the city.A strong detachment of the civie guards, who were promptly on the scene, had great difficulty preventing the crowd from entering the building.There is general feeling of panic in the city, last night's explosion being believed to be but & prelude to further outrages by the Anarchists.The police were busy throughout the night.They searched the houses of suspected Anarchists and arrested a Frenchman named Aragon, an Italian named Soldini.and à number of others.After the explosion the telegraphic lines were occupied (n the transmission of Government messages ail night.No private despatches were n)- lowed to be sent before this morning.Early last evening Gen.Martines Campos sent a long despatch to Madrid Inform.Ing the Government of the affair.Among the killed are an American gentleman and a weulthy German, The wife of the American accompanied him to the performance.Shs was injured.As yet ahe 18 not aware of her husband's death The unexploded bomb Is In the possce- sion of the police.It is a facsimile of the bomb use by Pallas in his attempt upon the lite of Martinez Campos, Some people say that the bombs were not thrown from the gallery but were placed benesth the seats before the | performance began.Experts.however, think otherwise, believing that fit required a shock to cause the bomb to explode.This Is borne out by the fact that the bomb that first struck a spectator and then fell to a cushion and thence to the floor 4id not explode.THIRTY PERSONS KILLED AND MANY IXJURED Barcelona, Nov.9.\u2014Soldin!, the Italian Anarchidt who was arrested, made a confession ast night, but It (s discredited, owing to his many contradictory statements.At nine o'clock last evening_nine Anarchists had been arrested in Barcelona on suspicion of complicity in the dynamite crime.The Govern ment has decided to expel all foreign Anarchists from Spain, and to pass drartic bllls as soon as possible aguinst Spanish Anarchists.Madrid.Nov.$.\u2014Despatches from Barcelona say that the men who threw the bombs are supposed to have sat In the fourth or fifth gallery.Fifteen persons were killed instantly by the explosion.Fifteen others who were injured dled to-lay.Eighty persons are seriously Ill from wounds or shock.Parla, Nov.13.-In consequence of the representations made by the Spanish Ambassador to the French Minister of Foreign Affaire, regarding the connection existing between the Anarchists Spain and those of Franes and other countries, it being intimated that the latter were assisting the Spanish Anarchists to escape the French Government has sent three special commis sioners of police to the Spanish frontier with Instructions to tuke every precaution possible to prevent Anarchists crossing the frontier, As a result, every suspected prmon entering France will be ciosely questioned and detained until the arrival of detectives from Paris, who will be summoned the moment a suspected person fails to answer satisfactorily all the questions put to him.On the other hand.it is understood, the Bpanish Government had pledged Itself to take mimilar action on the other side of the frontier whenever called upon to do so by the French Government.It is also understood that the German, Austrian and .Itajian Cov.ernments have sent additional inatrue- tions to their frontier police with the view of preventing the passage acroes the frontier of people suspected of be- Ing connected with the Anarchists\u2019 groups.Further and more stringent passport regulations are contemplated and & quiet search is being made by the police in & number of the large cities of France, upon Mstructions received from Spain, for several suspects who were beileved to have been connected directly or indirectly with the Barcelona bomb outrages.\u2014_\u2014-\u2014\u2014 BRITAIN IN INDIA.The Viceroy Defines her Position.WILL RULE FIRMLY AND JUSTLY.\u2014 London, Nov.11.\u2014A despatch to the \u2018Times\u2019 from Agrs.India, says: \u2014The Viceroy made a speech yesterday In reply to a municipal address.He expressed the deepest regret at the de plorable cow riots.He would not, he said, attempt lo apportion the blame, which doubtless rested sometimes on one side and sometimes on the other.He must declare, however, that the Indian Government did not Intend to permit these exhibitions of lawlessness.Its policy was one of strict neutrality and toleration, but this toleration would not be extended to lawlessness and crime.After explaining the law in regard to the killing of cattle, the Viceroy said {t must not be supposed that the slaughter of kine under proper reguis- tions for purposes of sacrifice or food would be stopped.The Government would protect the religion of each side impartially.But wherever violence was exhibited, it would not hesitate to suppress the same by force.The Viceroy appealed to the leaders of the native community to {mpress upon thelr less enlightened fellow-countrymen the folly and disastrous consequences of such acts as were jately perpetrated.He urged the press, both British and vernacular, to explain to the people the desirability of a calm and temperate spirit.He denounced as a miserable falsehood the statement that the Government encouraged religious quarrels in order to sow dissensions between class and clase.In conclusion he enjoined upon the Mohammedans respect of the susceptibilities of thelr Hindoo fellow-country- men.He requested them to perform their religious rites reverently and unobtrusively.He recommended that the Hindoos by sil means organize societies for the protzetion of cattle from 1l- treatment.At the same time they must not allow these societies to become associations for spreading the poison of class hatred.He promised to both parties fair and impartial dealing on his own part in any cases of violation of the law or exhibition of partiality by subordinate officials.\u2014\u2014 THE HOOPER CASE.NEW WITNESSES FOR TNE PROSECUTION.Detective Carpenter left Thursday for Joliette to consult with Mr.Cornailier, Crown Prosecutor, in regard to getting three or four new witnesses for the prosecution in the Hooper case.Besides the witnesses already heard at the en- quete, the prosecution will have at least eight or ten Lew ones.Hooper saw his father on Thursday for the first time since his removal from Port Hope.He told his father that he has not the siightest doubt that the jury will acquit him.He claims to have evidence that will completely prove his innocence.Speaking of his son, Thursday, Mr.Hooper said that he did not believe that he was gulity.He had always been a good son.From a boy he had always been very reticent.\u2018Poor John, poor John\u2019 he said, \u2018he will never be the same again.\u2019 Since the closing of the enquete, the prisoner has been confined to his cel.and 1s being carefully guarded.He passes his time in reading and walking about the narrow passage in front of bis cell.Many of the residents of Joliette have called at the hotel where the prisoner's father was staying, in or der to get & gilmpse of him.The interest in the case seems to be growing more Intense at Joliette.It 1s thought wiser by the prosecution that the names of the new witnesses be not made public.\u2014\u2014 DECREASE IN TRADE WITH BRITAIN.Calcutta, Nov.10.\u2014A report issued by the collector of Customs here shows that the trade of this port with Germany during the past five years has increased three fold.The trade with England decreased from @ percent of the whole trade to b7 percent.\u2014_ QUEENSBURY MARRIED.London, Nov.10.\u2014The Marquis of Queensbury was privately married yesterday at Eastbourne.to Misa Ethel Weedon, & young woman of fortuse, The Marquis is forty-nine years old A THREAT.France and Russia May Combine Against England.Paris, Nov.11.\u2014The speech of the Italian ambassador at the Lord Mayors banquet In London, on Nov.9, is causing angry comments from the French press.Referring to the visit of the British Mediterrenean squadron to Italy, the Italian ambassador said : \u2018We Itaitans have no need to go into raptures or to turn our house inside out when recetv- ing foreign guests.\u2018 This fe plainiy « reference to the Franco-Ruasian fetes, and it has aroused the ire of the newspaper men of France, causing them to indulge in some very bitter remarks regarding the friendship existing between Italy and England.Some of them go so far as to intimate that Italy may yet regret her display of friendship for England, and that the combined French and Russian squadrons in the Mediterranean are capable of die- tating terms to any combination whieh Italy and England may present in the Mediterranean or elsewhere.This feeling has brought forth renewed suggestions that France and Russia should support Spain In a demand for the surrender of the \u2018Key of the Mediterranean\u2019 and that Englan) must on no account be allowed to establish herself in any position opposite Gibraltar.\u2014_\u2014 LYNCHING AND TORTURK OF NE- GRODS GOUTRERN BAREARISNAGAIN DEMONSTRATED New York, Nov.13.\u2014A \u2018Herald\u2019 special - from Columbus, Fla, says: This neighborhood Is greatly worked up over stories regarding the recent lynching of the De- gro, Henry Boggs, who murdered W.J.Duncan in Lake City Junction last Monday.the horrible mutilation of the colored man's body and the mysterious disappearance of three other negroes.Boggs is sald to have been taken away from the officers and stabbed and shot to death by the mob.The story is that as soon as the mob got possession of the man it began the work of death by cutting into the flesh in various parts of the boty.To silence his cries a handkerchief was crowded Into his mouth.It is further reported his eyes were first stitched up and then gouged out.The sockets were eyeless when the body was seen by a citizen of this place the next day.As to the other men, thres ia number, implicated in the murder of Duncan, they are said to have escaped from the officers who had them in ebarge on Thursday night.Some say with\u2018's meaning smile that the men made their escape by breaking a part of the hund- cuffs which held them together, and taking to their heels under fre.It is the gon- eral opinion here that they were lynched and tortured.These negroes were recently released convicts and desperate characters.\u2014_\u2014 TRAMPED SIX WEEKS TO SEE THE QUEEN.Mary a of Dumfries, feeling herself agxrieved in consequence of having been evicted from her home, determined to lay her case before the Queen.Accompanied by her daughter, a gir] fifteen years of age, she left the town and walked first to the White Lodge, Richmond, and then to Windsor Castle, where she arrived in a pennilesg condition after a six weeks\u2019 tramp from the north.Her case was investigated by Acting Inspector Kelsey, of the Royal Household Police, and her immediate necessities having been cared for by some charitable persons at the castle the poor woman and her companion left \u2018Windsor on their return to Scotland.\u2014\u2014 BOND-BLAINE TREATY.Ottawa, Nov.13.\u2014There is the best authority for stating that the Whiteway Adminstration of Newfoundland, now that they have been sustained at the polis, intends to send a delegate to England immediately to press on Her Ma- Jesty\u2019s Government the ratification of the Bond-Biaine treaty between New.foundiand and the United States which the Opposition of Canada caused to be deferved for a time.As it was this treaty which caused the Ottawa Government to pleige themselves to an effort to obtain similar concessions at Washington it remains to be seen whether, on their confession of failure, ler Ma- Jesty\u2019s Government will ratify the Bond- Blaine treaty irrespective of Canada's objections.\u2014\u2014 SERIOUS RUMORS TROM MATA.BELELAND.Loudon, Nov.15.\u2014The Bt.James\u2018 \u2018Ga- 2ette\u2019 says that remarkable rumors are current as to the relations between the British Chartered Company and the Imperial troops.Certain officers and men of the latter force are accused of lack of coolness and the Imperial officers are said to have been unable to control the nen during the battles with the Mats- es.\u2014 A VICEREGAL REBUKE Ottawa, Nov.18.\u2014The lndies of Grace Church (Anglican) having prepared a presentation at the Opern House of the comic opera \u2018La Mascotte, asked the patronage and presence of the Gover- nor-General and Lady Aberdeen, Hie Excellency has declined, and there 19 much talk about ft.The Indies say they had cut out of the opera everything objectionable, but this only increases the wonder that out of the hundred and one operas they should have chosen & production open to the objection In the original libretto of tm- morality, One member of the guild to advertise

upper room of liubert Kent's cottage, folded her hands each | day and thanked God that He had provided so good a place for her and her children.Inte this back room Star, with a reckless indifference to her own comfort, brought everything from the other parts of the house which could give rest or pleasure, Here, while her mother was tended dy Richarda\u2019s constant watchfulness, Star would come,

such times by people who dwpend for comfort in death upon a mental frame or transient mond.they did not talk very much ; and of her own misery, of the future which stared her in the face with ceaseless interrogation and no hope, Star never spoke.Inte her mother's room, to which Star had carried all the brightness of his house, Hubert did not enter, Every day, when her mother would ask for him.Star had her excuse; A EE was rest and comfort in the glance that met hers, an the glance of an angel, who might say, \u2018It matters little that we are feeble to cope with sin, tod 1s

parlor.* Come up,\u2019 she commanded peremptorily.* Mother is\u2014is dying.\u2019 Hubert rose up, looking, sa he felt, shocked, \u2018Come up\u2019 Bhe jerked out the words in an agony of fimnpatience.1?Oh\u2014+\u2014what can 1 do, Star?1 am very sorry, but 1 can't do anything upstairs.I'll go for Bramwell.\u2019 At any time in the previous days he would have bean very glad, for the secmilineas of the thing, to have gone in and bid his mother-in-law good night or good morning, but he had strongly the natural dislike to seeing any one die; and besides, he had heard Richarda singing hymns.The two ideas of religion and death formed à picture in his fancy most repulsive, Hut Star could be imperious, and Hubert was too humane to oppose her violently just then.She hustled him upstairs and into the room.It 18 the 104 of man to form an Incorrect notion of anything of which he Is ignorant.Hubert had been shut out from this chamber, and he supposed it to be filled with gloom, or, at least, with a sickly religious atmosphere which would seem to him Rloom When he stood within the door he was quite unprepared for the flood of sunshine there.Richarda smited as she spoke low words.He stood for & moment as If he had come out of darkness And his eyes were dazzled.star sank again by her mother.\u2018Oh, mother, Mother, speak to Hubert Don\u2019t gu without speaking to him.Teach him something : try to teach him.So, as Hubert came nearer, his wife's mother turned to him, Perhaps her falilng mind had forgotten : Star's entrealy ; perhaps her natural shyness triumphed over her effort to fulfit ft; or.again, it may have been that seeing him for the first time after so many days she could only contemplate his goodness, for eyes that are very pure see virtue Hubert had gone to town early, or he had come home late, or he was red.\u201cAh, well\u2019 thought the mother-In- law sadly, \u2018he does not want to oome.And in her humility she feit it but natural that the young man more quickl;: than sin.Whatever the Immediate cause, then, as before, there was a deeper wisdom in her than that which she could have reasoned, and when Star clasped her hand over his she locked to him only with the famillar smile with which should find no attraction at her bedside.Yet Hubert had asked to come! more th-r once, until Star had hurt his sensitive vanity by letting him | think that he wus not wanted.never occurred to her that there was\u2019 éuplicity in this.There are times when we are so bent on attaining a goal that we never notice the path! we take, and Star flung down her honesty, as ahe would have as wilt- ingly flung dewn her lite, at the door of her mother's dying chamber, to prevent the entrance of & desecrating footstep.Thus some days went by, til}, on a Sunday afternann, when the western window wns full of slant sunbeams, the hour of death came.It came, it seemed to them, unexpectedly, though they had done little but expect for many days.It was that lazy time on a summer Sunday afternoon when all the world seems sleepy, and lt would avem that denth itself ought not to walk abroad.Star sat by her mother's plllows, the dear hand clasped in her own.With no apprehension of immediate danger, she had leaned back her head, and her young eyes, heavy with healthy sieep, had dropped their lids.Richarda sat at the window, singing hymns softly, her dreamy voice rippling over old- fashioned trills and turns with the half mechanical ease of long habit.It was just then that Mrs, Thompson stirred from her sleep, and they, looking up, knew that death was very near.They had no doctor and no priest.They knew no use for either, \u2018 Mother, oh, mother, sald Star, bending over, \u2018can you look at us?can you speak to us, mother 1* For answer the old amile came brightly, and the faded, gray eyes were opened wide, showing clear depths of motherly tenderness, The heart of flesh might have almost ceased to beat, but the heart of the opirit, the mother's love, was strong to hear the daughter's cry.It came to Star then\u2014the ain against Hubert which she had committed.Her heart did not soften towards him, but she felt that some thing she might have done towards her husband's reformation had not been done; now she was panic.stricken in the hope that it might not yet be too late.\u2018 Mother, mother '\u2014she sank on her knees \u2014 \u2018mother, If I bring Hubert will you say something to him ?Oh, mother, Hubert is not good ; he does not believe in God and hea i he does not try to be good.Can you say something T He may belleve it if you say it now.Indistinet idens, anso- ciated with death-bed acenes, were floating in her half-frenzied mind.\u2018It 1 bring him will you try to say something to warn him, something to show him how wrong it in to do wrong ?' she besought inooherently, * Can you try, wili you try, mother ?* She looked to see her mother's un.falling pity greet this first hint of her marriage tragedy, but it was soaroely pity shat was in the dying eyes\u2014not, ot least, what we call pity.There {: she had greeted him many a morning and evening\u2014only an old woman's smile, but it was ms full of love and light.\u2018God bless you, my son.You have It | been very good to me and mine.God! will repay you.\" \u201cOh, mother,\u2019 sobbed Star, in agony almost of reproach.Somes troubled look came over the dying face, as if she tried to recall something she had left undone ; then the loving smile was again given, as though she would ask Hubert to let the affection with which she regarded him atone for something she could not remember.the last pressure of her hand, were for him.Before she could turn her eyes again to her daughters the soul had died out of them ; her breath became lsbored ; in a little while she was dead.Hubert stood awkward, irresolute, feeling the natural desire to do something suitable and kiné.Me saw Richarda stand calm, hanging on her crutches, her sharp-featured face touched Into contemplative tender- Star, with more healthy im- , knelt burying her sobs in the lifeless breast.The evening sunlight lt the room Just as if death had not been there, and ineffable peace spread itself over the face of the dead.Hubert slunk away.He was fully aware that he went out of that presence- chamber with no dignity, real or apparent.Richarda had looked to him to lift up his wife, but he slunk away.\"Oh, mother, mother,\u2019 sobbed Star, when she had persuaded Richarda to leave her alone with the dead\u2014' oh, mother, mother, I am giad you are dead\u2014glad, glad, xlad ; yes, darling, glad' All the passion of her long- pent-up sorrow seamed to find vent in the trembling whisper of her words, \u2018 glad, my darling, glad, gad.\u2019 There is great comfort in tears.When the evening planet darted ita fair, uncertain ray in upon her as she, still weeping, performed the last service for her mother, she was stronger than she had been for many days.\u201cWe cannot stop spending the money until mother dies,\u2019 she had said to herself.She had despised herself fnr this degree of dishonesty, but had not had the cotrage to mar the iast precious days of that dear life on earth.Now she knew without doubting that that life was best honored by the apparent dishonor of & mean burial.Richards right think her mad ; Hubert might oppose his strength to hers ; she feit strong to brave them both, determined that not one unnecessary farthing should be spent on the rites of this death.Over the dark fields in the quivering depth of distant blue-blue such as 1s seen in harebell flowers \u2014 the planet of love grew brighter, till its clear, gold light beamed steadily into the open window, where, in the caim tvwrilight, Gtar sat à littie while by the

Inflection of tone which one uses to spoiled children.It was evidently his habit to speak thus to mourners.Hubert also spoke caressingly, as if reasonableness ,evuld not be expected from her and her fancies must be humored.Star (look advantage of their intended in- ldulgence.In vain they affected to misunderstand her directions or gently to set aside her wishes.She gave her (arders with an intensity of determl- \u201cnation that they found impossible to | gninsay.The glib underlaker was \u2018silenced ; even Hubert shrugged his { shoulders at Just and turned away.When the man was gone it was {their usual hour for bed.Star wont , about putting out lights, and closing the house.She had no other thought than that they should sleep as usual.Her mother had never less need of lights ind watching than now.\u2018Shall I put this out 7° she said to Hubert, her hand upon the screw of the parlor lamp.He had not spoken to or looked at her since she had crossed his wishes with respect to the undertaker's order.He turned now, looking up from a newspaper which lay untidity on the table.*No he answered; \u2018I will stay here) She did not question him further.She went upstairs, undressed, and lay down.Richarda had already fall- on into exhausted sleep.Star also went to sleep, but her slumber was light and easily broken.She 4!d not know how long it was\u2014it might have \u2018been an hour, it might have been \u2018hours\u2014when she awoke, hearing an almost noiseless step upon the stair.She saw a beam of light ooming through the crack of the door, which moved, ahowing that a candle was { earried past.No doubt Hubert was coming to bed.No; he walked as if he did not want to be heard, and \u201chis steps paused at her mother's door.She heard him go in and shut it again., What could he have gone there for ?She started half up, disposed to go at once and show that she resented his \"intrusion in that holy place.But a second thought detained her again\u2014 perhaps he had gone to see that all was right before he slept, or rain might have come on, and he had gone to adjust the window.She rested on her elbow, listening to hear him come out again.There was no further sound.At first she chid herself for impatience, for, having no means of measuring time, she + supposed that what seemed long to her might, in reality, be but a minute : then, when that could no longer satisfy, it seemed in the silence and darkness almost more easy to count what she bad heard a dream than to .suppose that Hubert could have gone there to remain.Could he (horrid thought) know of anything in her mother's possession that it was worth his while to steal?or for his evil purposes could he have any use for what might be learned or stolen from a corpse 7 An awful, unreasoning tear of his wickedness came over her and ,conflicting with it, the supposi- \u2018tion that she might not really have {heard him enter.With the indecision of exhausted nerves, she halted long.\u2018The night seemed at its deadest.There was no breath nor rustle to recall her excited fancy to reality.At length, trembling with fear, half of supernatural horror, half of unnatural iniquity, she dragged herself to her mother's door and opened it.\u2018Whatever we may expect, that which we see at any given time is usually that which is most natural.The room in its profound repose was just as she bad left it.The stars and the infinite sky of night looked in through the open upper part of the window upon the dark room and the white bed.The only change was that a candle (she noticed it was the kitchen candle) was set, shaded from the room and the window, so that ita ray fell on the bed, and Hubert, with the face cloth In his hand, stood with folded arma gazing at the mother's face.He gtanced at Star as ghe stood in the door, but did not seem to care to move, his glance falling back again where it was before.She never scanned her husband so keenly as at that moment, yet she gained little.He stood with arms crossed, his sensitive face bent siight- iy forward.He looked profoundly interested, profoundly contemplative, even curious.he could not read the slightest trace of sinister design or troubled emotion.Her eyes were irresistibly drawn from him to the dead face that he was looking at, though her mind were compelled by bls.On the pillow lay the dear face which age and pain had sculptured with thelr eternal genius.The face bore no traces of their work to which these two young creaturss had not been accustomed while it had been fit by the smile of life ; but now that it lay in death there was something new in it beyond the abéence of life, something that another Artist had added, à pence that was beyond all desoription, & atrange

natural that he and she should stand there together and exchange solemn words.star could not forget.Bhe came in, looking unbeautiful, as even young and pretty women wilt look when the face is disordered by weeping and a disordered nightgown is halt hiddsn In an old shawl.She took the candle and took him by the arm, and brought them both out of the room.\u2018What is the matter ?' asked Hubert, yielding in his surprise.\u2018Is Richards (11 ?Speak\u2014tell me.\u2019 star, shutting the door close behind her, was speechless with excess of feeling.She made only a gesture towards him of such indignation that his face darkened.\u2018Do you mean\u2019 he asked in the æimplicity of surprise, \u2018that I am not good enough to go there 1\u2019 \u2018Yes: She left him alone in the narrow stairway, holding the candle aslant and looking after her darkly.But by the next morning Hubert seemed to have forgotten any personal ill-will which he might have : felt.He went to his work early, ani Star did not meet him when he came home in the afternoon.\u2018Hubert has come sald Richards, bending over ber work in the cool shadow of the front room, where the blinds were down, \u2018 Where ts he 7° asked Btar, halting on her way from the kitchen.It was such a little house that Hubert could not be lost in it and be anywhere but In the one room.It was enough for Star that Richarda could not tell where he was.Bhe pursued him to the room of death.Bhe found him there as before.The plain, white sheet, on which she had laid a knot of dust-stunted pinks gathered from their own small plot, was covered now with fragrant white blossoms, rich flowers such as money can buy, and the young man who had ! Just laid them there was standing, not regarding his tribute with any attention, dut looking, as in the night he had looked, at the dead woman's i face.Star uttered an exclamation of anger, and lald a quick, ruthless grasp ; upon a spray of white lilies, He caught her hand.\u2018Stop! What are you doing ?I thought you would be pleased.8he liked flowers.Oh, as to that,\u2019 divining her thought, and answering, \u2018I did not buy them with that money.I bought them with my last week's wages, just to please you.\" She wrenched her hand from him ; she was palpitating with wrath, \u201cWhat does that matter ?All that you can earn for years ia owing to the men you have robbed ; there is not a farthing of it yours.\" Her voice broke into a hard, angry sob.\u2018Do you think I will have my mother dishonored by\u2014by you 7° She gathered the flowers from the white pall, not, as we lift flowers, by their stalks, but grasping them rudely by blossom and bud, like polluted things.He watched her.He could not prevent her without an unseemly struggle.Then, perceiving the full force of her determination, he again laid his hand strongly upon her arm.She had secized ali the flowers she oould hold in both hands, and there were still many more.In her young, dimpled beauty and flerce eagerness to get hold of them all, she looked baffled, not altogether unlike à child who must drop some of its woodland spolls in order to reach after more : but different, for she was like à man in strength, possessed by the iIndigna- tion of right against wrong.It was Just then he laid a stern hand upon her.Even in her rage she stopped to look in his face, and their two faces confronted one another as they leaned, hot with the strength of their young passions, over the broken flowers and the dead form.Oh, the unutterable stillness and ai- dence of death! We seldom feel it 10 the uttermost, for we enter its presence stilling ourselves to meet the sight.Only yesterday this poor weak woman woud have spoken words of wisdom, would have met their emotion with quick tears of pity and warning ; now, in the fiercest culmination of their strife, her face near them, set if the stilinoss of death, reflected nothing but infinite peace.And, strange to say, it was Hubert who seemed more under the influence of the dead face.His features softened ss Star darted indignant glances at him ; his eyes gained a calm which calmed her and made her ashamed, It was many years before she looked again in her husband's eyes as she looked then, and afterward, in lonely years, she thanked God for that memory, but now their form, their dark, gray light, their first anger and after sadness, seemed burnt In, branded with pain upon her brain.She could not remember afterwards how it was that she dropped what she had taken in her hands, but she knew that he gathered up all the flowers.He did it neatly, as he did everything, leaving not & trace of all their wealth behind.Then she was alone, crouching, trembling, by the bare, coarse sheet and the posy of stunted pinks\u2019 She thought afterwards that he must have dug a hole and buried these flowers, for she came updn no remains of them.Poor Richards, repining at Star's sternnese and the poverty of their mother's burial never knew of their existence.CHAPTER VIII.Three days after her mother was buried Btar stood on the little grass plot waiting for Hubert to return \u2018 from his days work.She had finished getting ready his supper, and, sl- though she was not on amicable terms with him, the action of stepping to the little gute to see If he were coming seemed too natural to be resisted.Only half the other cottages in the row had as yet been let.A thrifty gardener, whoss wife it was who was not above a day's charing, lived next on the left hand, but the house on the right was empty.The cottages which were let were neat enough, but Hubert's was conspicuous for ita well-kept appearance.Only that morning he had risen early and trimmed the grass in front and rear ; not a blude was In the wrong place, and the tiny flower border wus In as perfect condition as care could produce upon Indifterent soil in August drought.Star noticed all this with the approving eye of a housekeeper.Habit made her take satisfaction in the neat appointments of her little domain ; the sams habit made her look with fâterest down the road to see if Hubert were among the distant comers, even though she felt her lite to be at a deadlock, and she knew not how to live a day or an hour without transgressing the law of common honesty.Bave as she would, the household expenses must go on to a certain extent.Bhe could not voluntarily cease to live ; her very life and Ri- charda\u2019s seemed to her a sin against the community.The protest that was strong in her against Hubert's dishonesty, and the strong effort she was making to think how best to circumvent him, for the time crushed all feeling of love for him out of her heart: yet external habit is very strong, and she came out, like a dutl- ful wite, to look for her husband.Who has not felt the fascination of watching the passers on any road in the assured expectation of a familiar form ?Townward, about as far ns she could see men walking, the first | cross street cut the high road ; and here many figures cams in view, some of which held straight on down to the cottages.Here! now Hubert was coming\u2014that figure in gray.No; in a moment that was perceived to be & woman.But this one, this was surely he.No; this was an eiderly man-\u2014she could tell by his galt as he approached.The next figure was too short ; it was a boy's.Here came a young man.Now this was Hubert.But with longer scrutiny it was not Hubert.A while she looked, idly noticing what she saw, losing interest in each passer as he or she came near enough to be seen plainly, just as hours of the future coming to meet us so often lose their interest as they come close.Star was still gazing at the comers from the distant crossways, when her fate came to meet her by an unexpected hand.The boy, who had paised the place to which her eyes were directed and come on unnoticed, stopped close to her, scanning the numbers of the cottages.\u2018Are you Mrs.Kent ?* He was a freckled boy of about fourteen, in a broad-brimmed hat.He did not look like the finger of fate.Star did not fear him.She took a letter which he gave her, and while she was looking at the address and the envelope the messenger went back toward town.The letter was from Hubert, and seemed more formally addressed and sealed than any scraps of notes about business engagemehts which he had hitherto sent her.She tore the envelops with curiosity.\u2018My dear Wife\u2014 \u201cI âo not often change my courses, for change proves one has made 8 mistake, and I do not often make mistakes.I see, however, that I have made one In marrying into a pious family.[I certainly thought you wers the girl for me, but your early prejudices are stronger than 1 supposed.1 could overcome your opposition in time if I chose.I am not running away from your Anger or any of your tantrums ;: but, for your mother's sake, J'll leave you undisturbed In your own religion and principles.8he loved and trusted me, if you do not.I have taken a situation in America.Thers is no use in you and Richards coming out there ; you have no friends or relatives and you are better and safer where you are.Bo we shall be separated ; that ig the beet that I can do now to make you happy.\u20181 put the key of my work-room in your drawer, and with lt a savings- bank book, which represents thirty pounds to be drawn by you.When that is done, go to Mr, Laurie, 2 Cramond street.His rooms are on the third floor up.I have arranged to supply you through him.You need not be afraid that I shall not do it.I do not think Ihave failed to perform any promise I have made you.Now I have only one request to make\u2014if ever you have had any affection for me, if you have any regard for me, or fee) that you owe me any duty as & wife, use the money I give you and live quietly with Richards.Do not go about trying to find me or attempting to get n situation.Live es we have lived since our marriage.You and she are fond of one anot and Miss Gower is near you; y ought to be happy.If you make a fuss about my going, and seem to be deserted, you will injure my charso- ter.Say to neighbors and friends that I have an uncommonly good job on hand, and had to leave at ones.I shall know what you do and how you are, but we needn't meet again, When I dle you in the meantime, I set ail duty te me as far ne I oan, and of Novæuszn 16, 1898.course I thke back the promise I made that night at the stile.I am all right; don't worry about me.Good-bye.Yours faithrully, HUBERT KENT.Star read rapidly ss she stood at the gate.When she bad finished the boy who had brought the letter Was a good way off upon the road, The neighbor who went out charing came out to her front door with a curly-headed child holding to her gown, \u2018 You're looking for Mr, Kent,\u2019 she remarked.Star nodded abeently.She folded the letter and was about to put it in her pocket mechanioslly ; them, realising that it was an important doou- ment, she put it in the breast of her dress.\u2018Well, sald the woman, with a sigh, \u2018it's nice, too, to see à young man so reg\u2019lar as Mr.Kent Is.\u2019 The remarks of peopls whose post of observation and experience is far removed from our own are often dit- ficult to understand.This woman's husband was, in a dry clocklike way, much more regular than Hubert had ever been.Star could but assume that \u2018reg'lar\u2019' in her neighbor's vocabulary stood for manly virtue of all sorts, and that Hubert's considerate kindness to the women of his house had won respect not wholly unmixed with envy ; hence the sigh, \u2018He was very kind to my mother and sister when they were il)\u2019 she answered.\u201cYes, one might say that he was! said the neighbor, which guarded reply was intended to give hearty as sent to the proposition.Star went in and sat down te sup- per.\u2018 Isn't Hubert coming ?° asked Ri- charda.\u2018Not to supper.He doesn't think he'll be home to-night.\u2019 Btar's uppermost feelings with re- ard to Hubert's letter was incredu- y, The rude shock she had received in first seeing the hidden evil In him rendered her still incapable of trusting him in anything; and was 1 likely that Hubert, with all his plans laid for this country, was going away to live in America at an hour's notice ?Star took that assertion oslm- Iy, for she did not believe it.He wanted to take back his promise not to lie to her, not to steal.He had \u2018an uncommonly good job on hand\u2019 no doubt, and of an infamous sort, He wanted to secure his own absence, to blind her as to his real whereabouts, to frighten her, to test her loyalty, \u2018You are eating nothing; you are looking 111,\u2019 said Richarda.\u2018 Dixte, do you ever wish that you and mother and I were back In that room in Grove street, where we were five months ago ?* \u2018For the sake of having mother back again 7° Richards spoke slowly.\u2018No, not even for that, Star.How could we have borne to have her there longer ?* Star could not answer this question, even to herself.She sat, with the pretty dignity of s young matron, at the head of her own cheerful little table, and saw her sister relieved trom helplessness and suffering, able to enjoy the comfort of life with her.If time could be made to shift back could she make a different choice ?Is there in heaven an eye whioh wees what might have been had we not done this or that ?Or te there any other way possible than that we have taken ?It was not Star's nature to muse much on auch problems.Richarde was tired ; she was yet only convalescent.Star helped her to bed, and when the good-night kiss had been given and her sister slept, Mar came down to the little sitting-room.Perhaps the letter was only a lover's hoax to dispel her ill-will, and Hubert would come after all.Bhe made her little house fast ; she sat down in her mother's chair.How often she had waited for him just thus, when he had been detained to report some late meeting or enter talnment ! Bhe listened to the footsteps that now and then broke the ulience on the road ; she could not divest her mind of the thought that, in spite of everything, he might still come.Bhe took the letter and read it over and over.What did it all mean ?It could not be true that he had given her up as his wife, once for all.She did not in the least comprehend why Ler mind rose up in such strong re voit against believing this ; she only knew that she found it easier to believe anything than this.All likelihood seemed against it.Only those few written words to convince her! They had not even the force of speech, and his words, spoken or written, were Rot mecef- sarily true.It was not likely he would abandon all hô cared for.Hubert liked his home.How he had nailed and trimmed and fashioned it to suit himself 1 He liked 1t, and he liked his wife, Star's thought paused and her cheeks burned as confirmation of this last welled up in her knowledge.She knew, she knew beyond all desire for proof, beyond all power to question.that he liked her well.He had not grown tired of her the opposition whe had shown him had not wearied bim to the extent of affecting his liking for her, Waa it Iikely that Hubert, strong-wilisd, constant, as be was, would throw away for eves all that he liked, because\u2014and then she looked again at the reason he had given her In the first and most serious part of the letter.It was chiefly her shocked distrust of him that made her suspect it of being à clever Novswser 15, 1893.AS trick or deceit; but it was hard for her, any way, to believe in 30 sudden @ change.Bhe read the reason given, \u2018for your mother's sake,\u2019 and the reproach, \u2018she loved and trusted me, \u20ac you do mot.\u2018That is paltry,\u2019 thought &tar, \u2018thers 1s nothing in that she knew no ground of dis trust.Star oould not, would not, set her mind working on the supposition that his letter was simply true.At first she thought, in her self-reilance, that 1 was too good to be true.\u2018The letter was very clever ; it was intended to be belleved and relied on.All that Hubert did was clever.He had strong reasons, evidently, for writing it ; first, probably, that he wanted his promise back without letting her know that be had immediate use for his freedom.He wanted also, no doubt, absence from her, to plan and commit some crime.Then, when this was over, he would count on time, distance and silence to do more than all argument toward dispelling her antagonism to him.He would come back ; he would explain that he had changed his course again.Her heart bridged over the distance and suddenly leaped at this thought, the thought of his return.When\u2014how would he come?Would he let her know before he came ?In spite of the desperate antagonism between them, she began to realise that she wanted him to come, and she knew that he wanted to come.He did then, at that moment, love her, want to come to her and to his home.Bhe knew it, and therefore she be- leved if Hubert stayed away it was only for the excitement of some daring orime and that he would not stay away long.The determination came upon her $0 hinder this crime.She must find iim to prevent his wrongdoing.But how?If she went and presented herself befors his employers or any of his friends, how could she form any inquiry that would not compromise his respectability ?The husband gone, and the wife not knowing where or when or how! Her own pride revolted against exposing the fact ; she could have trampled on her pride, but not on his good name.If he had gone away anywhere she was sure he had made It right with those who knew him.Hubert always took care of appearances.If he had not gona, it would be still more embarrassing that she should make inquiries about him.And the one request that he made was, that she should be still.\u2018Was the request only on account of his own selfish Interest, or was it partly for her sake ?If she had \u2018any regard\u2019 for him, the letter sald.How much regard had she for him?And if could not find him he would steal again.However strong his purpose, she had felt sure that she could prevent actual crime if he was with her ; but now he had taken himeelf away, and he might do anything.The thought made her nearly frantic.She rose up as If with the immediate intention of going some where, of doing something.She stretched out her arms wildly, vaguely, in her helplessness and they fell down again beside her.She could do nothing.It was midnight.The cheap Ameri- oan clock in her little kitchen ticked loudly.All footsteps had ceased.Hubert might at that moment be busy doing wrong not far away.Little as she knew of his plans of operation, her mind pictured many horrible possibilities.Bhe remembered how calmly he bad boasted that he would choose death rather than capture.If in some extremity he should take the poison he had shown her, would they know whither to take him home?She wondered if they would let her have him dead, It bad seemed bitter to her a few days before to live on the proceeds of crime, to share her daily life with the eriminal.Now she knew that the worst pain lay In the love she bore him ; to have him In her arms again \u2014that was the cry her heart made now, to have him back, living not dead.Oh, to be able to speak to him once again, to hold him back from his temptation by the warmth of her embrace, to cover his very feet with tears and kisses in the attempt to persuade him to keep them in the right paths | This, this had been her privilege\u2014had been; and she had east it away.(To be continued.) apres A PARTNERSHIP WITH HELL.(To the Editor of the \u201cWitness.\u2019) tir, \u2014Tour readers will have noticed that in the evidence recently given he- fore the Royal Commission on the liquor traffie several distillers and brewers tcs- tified as to thelr views, opinions and convictions regarding the question of the liquor traffio and prohibition.Some of these manufacturers weré bold enough to say that the Government, permitting and licensing the trade, were partners with them ln the business It 18 of consequence to have this statement trom members of this great liquor trading eompany.Do the members of the Dominion and Local Governments feel complimented?How much additional lustre does this purtnership give to Bir John Thompeon, Bir Oliver Mowat, etc.?Are the people of Canada to be congratulated on the fact of the leaders of the sountry being ehlef members of a trading company who are \u2018poilsoners general of Her Majesty's subjects\u2019 as an emi- Rent leader in the past century declared that class of traders to be.Many of the workers have been declaring the existence and genuineness of this partnership, but they were refused cre- denos, and many of thelr own number @ié not believe It.Perhaps these doudt- are will be persuaded new.How does memes this read, \u2018The Dominion Government and Company, manufacturers, importers and wholesale dealers In wines, gin, rum, Lrundles, beer, etc.etc.This mous company has been doing a very Successful business at the oid stands in the custom houses and excise offices of the nation, with headquarters at Government Hufldings, Ottawa, Canada.The company on the Government aside for the Dominion draws between six and seven millions of dollars from the business every year, which Woes into the public revenue of the country, besides many valuable perquisites in the shape of political influence, votes and money paid direct into election expense funds during general and by-elections.How much money the other\u2014the non-Government members of the company\u2014get out of the business is not known, but there is evidence that it reaches into the millions.\"Tis true, ons of the members of the company, who, it ia understood, owns a town, a railway, & big distillery, a, big brewery, a gas well, etc, etc, said recent ly thers was very little money made in the business at the present tine owing to the Government partners enforcing an order that whiskey must be kept two years after manufacturing before it is put on the market for consumption.Yet that same person sald he would not sell or give up his business unless he got a good round eum by way of compensation.Think of ft, \u2018ye gods and little fishes,\u2019 the goodwill of a trade that has little money in it, in worth a large sum.This great national company of traders in the drunkard's drink has separated into many smaller branches, having the limits of each province as its boundaries.The head offices are situate in the various provincial capitals, each pragincial office being presided over by the Attorney-General of the province.Thess provincial branches do a large trade, especially in the retall saie of liquors.That Her Ma- Jesty's loyal subjects in Ontario might be able to met intoxicating liquors at the least possible trouble and cost.the provincial company has, under the Great Beal of the province, created about four thouzand (4,000) sub-branches, by licensing a deputy agent to manage the business.These licenses bring to the provincial partners $300,000, more or less, as thelr share of the profits, besides the Inevitable perquisites.All desiring to purchase the flery beverages can apply at Government branch shops, which they will find open six days of the week.These shops are known as saloons and taverns where they have licenses, but where they sell without them, as is very frequently done, they are called \u2018shebeens,\u2019 \u2018rum-holes,\u2019 \u2018joints,\u2019 etc.But give them a Government permit and, lo, they change into saloons and taverns.The goods mold in these Government shops are warranted to produce one hundred thousand cases of drunkenness among our people every twelve months.\u2018To break up one thousand happy homes, and badly wreck domestic peace In three thousand more.The use of these beverages will Jead to at least one thousand deaths & year, and make a large number of widows and orphans, leaving them in the tolls of a helpless and merciless poverty.\u2018The use of this lcensed liquor is eer- tain to produce three-fourths of the crime and misery found amongst our people.This gives employment to hundreds of magistrates, judges, balliffs, constables, fallors, etc, etc, at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars annually.For further proof of this partnership, you are referred to the fact that not one pint of liquor is manufactured in the country without passing through the legal Excise channels.The Royal letters \u201cV.R.' are put upon all imported and manu- tactured liquors, showing Government control and partnership.The question on no longer be disputed, the Government is a partner in the liquor business of this country.Shall we allow this relationship to continue ?\u2018The Government ls supposed to be the servant of the people; that being so shall not the people cast back their servant, and give positive orders for the partnership to cease ?Or, have we al- lowsd our servant to so badly entangle us with this great enemy of Our race, that with his powerful assistance we are defied by our own employes 7 The vote for prohibition on the coming first of January will mark the struggle of an outraged and indignant people for freedom from complicity with the liquor trade of this province.Let the voters\u2014 men and women\u2014uniarch to the polls and by giving their ballots for prohibition declare that this unholy compact between the state and the saloon shall cease.D.L.BRETHOUR.Burlington, Oct.28, 1898 \u2014_\u2014 WHAT NEXT ?(To the Editor of the

'Thy will be done\u2019 to say it from the heart.When you stand by your dear ones dying, with not two dollars for funeral expenses, with a husband and father away, and when hs might have come, yet did not, with no one to go to, when the very heavens seem brass, and the earth fron, and you and your own body exhausted from hard work and watching day and night, with but little food to sustain the body, then to say \u2018Thy will be done\u2019 from the heart is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifice, and this prayer prayed from the heart is what i» meant by being entirely and wholly sanctified She was soon led out into evangelistic work, in which she was singularly successful.Bishop Thoburn, of India, says, \u2018That invisible something which \u2018we are accustomed to call power, and which is never possessed by any Christian believer except as oneof the fruits of the indwelling Spirit of God, was hers In a marked degree.\u2019 During the seventeen years that he lived In Calcutta many famous strangers visited the city, some of whom attracted large audiences, but the Bishop says not one would draw and hold us large an audience as Mrs.Smith.She assisted me both in the church and open alr meetings and never failed to display the peculiar tact for which she is remarkable.I shall never forget one meeting which we were holding in an open square In the very heart of the city.It was at a time of no little excitement, and soms Christian preachers had been roughly handled in the same square a few evenings before.1 had just spoken myself, when I noticed a great crowd of men and boys who had succeeded in breaking up à missionary's audience on the other side of the square, rushing towards us with cries and threatening gestures.If left to myself I should have tried to gain the box on which the speakers stood tn order to command the crowd, but at the critical moment our good sister Bmith knelt on the grase and began to pray.As the crowd rushed up to the spot and saw her with her beaming face upturned to the svening sky, pouring out her soul In prayer, they became perfectly still and stood as it transfixed to the spot.Not even a whisper disturbed the solemn silence, and when she was finished we had as orderly à meeting as If we had been within the four walle of a church, * * 1 learned many valuable lessons from her lips, and once before an American audienes, when Dr.W.F.Warren was young preachers te be will.tng to learn from their ows hearers, 2 even though many of the hearers might be comparatively Illeterate, I ventured to second his exhortation by telling the audience that I had learned more that had been of actual value to me as a preacher of Christian truth from Amanda Smith than from any other one person that I had ever met.Apparently in 1878, for dates are somewhat confused, Amanda Smith crossed the Atlantic, and went to Keswick, where friends from the United Btates were expecting her, and introduced her to Canon Battersby.She says: .No one acted as though I was a black woman, I! don't suppose they would have treated Mrs.President of the United States with more Christian courtesy and cordiality than they did me.After the preaching service Was over I was introduced by Canon Bat- tersby, and asked to lead the after meet ing.There were clergymen and workers all around, and I felt at first & little awkward.I thought I would never got hold of the way they did things; and they told me just to go right on in my own way, just as I was accustomed to do in America, and they would stand by and sstist in anything 1 wished them to do.So after talking a while, 1 asked those who wanted personal conversion and prayer to stand, and a great number arose all over the tent.I was a little surprised, but I kept looking to the Lord; then I maid to the workers and clergymen.\u2018Now there Is u great work to do, these souls must be spoken to, helped and prayed with.I want that all of you should go around and speak | to them.\" Then I said, \u2018If there are those who would ilke to come forward and kneel here they may do 80,\u2019 though I saw that that was not the custom.A few came to the front, and in & moment the clergymen and workers were all out in the congregation kneeling and praying with the seekers.By and | by ome would call out, \u2018Mrs.Bmith, here is a soul that has found peace in belleving in Jesus\u2019 That one would stand up and say \u20ac word or two and then another would call out \u2018And here Is another who wants to say & word.\u2019 and another ané another would call out, \u2018Here's another\u2019 »o I praised the Lord.I dont know Just the number that professed to find peace that night, but I know it was & goodly number.To God be all the wlory.After this, wherever she went there were large gatherings, and she received so many attentions that, as she says, her American friends were afraid that she would be spoiled, but she explains her secret in the following incident : I shall never forget the Xindness of Lord and Ledy Mount Temple.I was a guest In thelr home.Ob, what « home it was! How spacious; a regular palace.When I went into dinner, Lord Mount Templ@ walked up to me and gave me his arm, and saying, \u2018We will lead the way,\u2019 took me In to dinner and seated me at his right, and there 1 was, amid all that throng of English dignitaries.It was all new to me.in a sense, and yet I neither saw nor felt anything that was worth while being a fool over, for God had long since saved me, I believe, from foolish pride.I believe it now, an I always believed It, in the Book: \u2018Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.\u2019 and If I ever prayed God to save me from anything, !t was from the foolishneas of pride.Thank God, I believe he does.He keeps me saved.She tells of a crowded meeting at Bt.| Helens, where a crowd gathered at \u2018 the door and gave unearthly wells and almost \u2018pulled the clothes off her,\u2019 and it took four policemen to get her into the carriage.Of a fleld meeting, which she explains was & kind of plenic, when she stood in a cart and tried to talk aoû sing co five or six hundred people, which she found \u2018a difficult job.\u2019 She tells with some humor how fn Scotland it was some time before she was permitted to speak to a mixed audience, but soon one \u2018would not know but that they had been accustomed not only to women speaking but to black women all their days.\u2019 Her method of work appears to have been muoh the same as that of some other successful revivalists.Speaking of m.estings at Galsehields she says : Every night there were crowds.Many were turned away; they could not get in.The Lord gave me great liberty in speaking for Him, and many during the meeting professed to have found peace in belleving.The first three nights I talked more directly to believers; 1 saw they were full of a knowledge of the truth, which is a marked characteristic of the Scotch people They know their Bibles; but they need to know the Holy Ghost to quicken the Word into life and power.At the close of the meeting one evening.8 good old brother sald to me softly in his beautiful Scotch accent: \u2018Sister Smith, I think you had better speak more to sinners.\u2019 \u2018Yes,\u2019 I said, \u2018but you know there are many staners in Zion, and I want them to wake up.\u2019 After 1879 Mrs.Bmith spent years in sucoesstul missionary work in Indis and Africs, of which she writes in a most Interesting way, but space fails.She is now, however, in the United States, and last appeared at the \u2018World's W.C.T.U.Convention just held in Chicago.Her work la endorsed by Bishop Taylor, Frauces Willard, Lady Henry Somerset and others, and ought to be a -great favorite for Sunday- school and church libraries.- \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u201cWIDOW OF

Adventures on Sea and on Land.The great Nelson is on every tongue at present, owing to the outcrice of a portion of the French press in regard to the Jacques Cartier square monument.From the \u2018Encyclopaedia Britannica\u2019 the following sketch of him je taken which will prove interesting reading :\u2014 Viscount Horatio Nelson (1758-1506) was a younger son of the Rev.Edmund Nelson, and was born at Barnham, Thorpe, Norfolk, Sept.29, 138.A love of adventure and a daring spirit, which developed itself from his earilest years, inclined che future admiral to the ite of the sea, and.through the Interest of a maternal uncle the 1ad entered the navy in 1770.It is unnecessary to dwell on the career of Nelson as he passed through the first grades of his calling: as a midshipman or a lieutenant he saw service In almost every division of the MORATIO, VISCOUNT NELSON.siobe, and on several occasions he gave signal proof of extraordinary energy and fertility of resource, and, above all, of a courage in danger which, if some what rash, was truly herole.Already too, he had shown an expertness in seamanship and in the art of the pilot often moticed by his superior officers, and be had displayed a singular aptitude for command in a variety of enterprises entrusted to him.He was made a post-oaptain at the age of twenty-one, « promotion due to merit alone, and re- marksble in that aristocratic age; and during the next few years he was ac- NELSON M NiMaN1, NUNTREAL tively enguged in the vicissitudes of the American War.It was a period of chequered fortunes as regards the Eng- Heh navy; Its supremacy on the ocean was not yet amured; end, though Rodney's great victory in 1713 attested the excellence of British seamen, the flag of France was for a time dominant im the West Indies and Indian Beas: the fleets of the French and Spanish archies inmilted the English coasts lor several weeks, and assailed Gib- altar in formidable strength: and the armed neutrality of the Northern powers threatened England with no ordinary perti.Nelson, however, though his correspondence proves that he followed purt in these great operations: he was in command waly of small vessels, and was chiefly emploveld in protecing cone soys and in chasing cru sers of the Kime class as his own: ard his most notable exploit was a Lold descent on the shores of the South American ish.mus, In which he gave fresh proofs of his habXual bravery, Yet his reputation as e promiring officer was steadily grow ing during thew ars; he attracted the attention of every admiral on the different stations on which he served; and King Wiltlam 1V., at this time & midshipman, probably only etiosd a general opinion in describing Nelson as a \u2018boy captain with an enthusasm that showed he was no common bebe\u201d After che peace of Versailles im 1788, Nelson was In the West Indies Cor seve ral years and he gatnat credit for almost Quixotic zeal, and drew upon him- scif no little odlum, by the efforts he made to prevent smuggling between the new United States and British colonies, and to expose the frauds of the greedy «vatractors who, especially on the Jamaica station, hs been long permitted to plunder the navy.The time was now at hand when the commanding powers of this grent seaman were to Lecome man'fest.War between FEng- land and revolutionary France was declared tn the first months of 1798; and Neison, on the recwnmendation of Lord Houde veleran who held him in high esteem-\u2014was made captain of the \u2018Agamemnon,\u201d the first ship of the line commanded by him.He was despatched tinder Hand to the Mediterranean; and, though his vessel wan one of the worst in tha flret, he performed feats of daring seamanship which at once m out for applause and J! tinction.With a detachment of satlor who, when Jed by him, \u2018minded shot,\u2019 he declared, \u201cas little as peas,\u2019 he took a prominent part in the slece of Bastia; and the capitulation of the place was due, for the most part, to their determined valor.At the siege of Cadiz also, where he lost an eve, he contributed largely to the result, his \u2018seamen.as ha reported.having \u2018fought the gune\u2019 with the assistanas only of \u2018s single artillerrman® N, .however, was Kreatest on his own element; and soon after ¢his he for tive first time displayed conspicuoisly.and in a decisive manner the transcendent xifts which made him pre-eminent.In March, 17%, th British fleet.under Admiral Hotham\u2014Lord Hood had by this time been replaced\u2014 was particularly engaged off the coasts of Italy with a French fleet of superior force; and a French eighty-four, having been d'smasted, shored off, towed by a powarful frigate, and eupported by two large ships of the line, The

hostile squadron at bay, without incur- rink any serious loss.The injured ship, .| 8h one of fier comsoris, wns easily captured a few hours afterwards: and.had the admiral followwd Nelson's advice, the whole French fleet would have been brought to action, and have pro- tmbly met a complete defeat.In the winter of 1795-96 Nelson war employed in cutting off the supplies of the French army on the Italian mea- board; and had he been well seconded by the Austrian generals Napoleon would not have possessed the means of be- gmning hia career of Italian conquest.Sonn after this he became a commoddre; and ore long he had again performed one of thes: great feats of daring and skill which ordinary commanders would have deemed impossible.Spain, dwn into her old alllance with France, had deciared war in 19%: and on Feb, 18 1797, a Bpanish fleet met one of the Fuglish, a few miles off Cape fit, Vincent.Though the enemy had twenty- seven whips of the line, and the British force was only fifteen.ity admiral, Jor- vis, Ald not hesitate, and, skilfully employing a well-known manowsuvre, he broke the hostile alliance cutting off mine ships.The Spanish admiral.however.endeavored to rejoin this detachment by wheeling round hix van: and the evolution might have been succers- ful bad not Nelson.placed at the Rit.ish rear, immediately abandoned his own line, and.disregarding his superiors orders, assailed with his single whip the advancing squsdron.This audacious movement threw him In the way of three first and three second rates: and, though the \u2018Captain\u2019 was ably seconded by the three nearest ships of the Brith lime, Nelson was engaged for more than half an hour with a force immeasurahly superior to his own.Yet Rritieh dls.cipline and valor triumphed: the Spen- ish commander drew off beaten.and the \u2018Captain\u2019 boaried and took two ships, each larger and more powerful than her- scif, Noison lending hig exuiting crew in person tn the ory of \u2018Westminster Ahbey or Victory.For this extruor- dmary passage of arme Nelson em cedved the onler of the fiath and was made an admiral\u2014his splendid succem and skilful promptitude having effacd, on in professional mindn, his dinregard of the rules of the service.During the following months he was engnaed In operations against Spain and here coln- nies; and he Joat an arm in an attack on fants Cruz, a place famous for one of Hlake'e victortes.The time hnd now arrived when his genius and ski! were to appear in full force in an Indapend- ent commend.In May, 178.he was despatched by Jervh\u2014now Tom Rt.Vincent-to intercept a great French armament, which, under the guidance of Bonaparte, was intended to reach Eeymt and to threaten India.His nquadron, however, having become crippled in a male, the hostile fleet eucaneé from Toulon and reached Alexandria on them with the eye of genius, took ne 4 July 1 the British admire! who had THE MONTREAL made Aboukir on June 3X having Just missed it.This misadventure deceived Nelson, who belleved that the enemy wana still at sea; and it wus not until he had made a crcult by Crete to the coasts of Riclly and back again to the shores of Greece, that he heant how the French hud made gowl their landing.lle met oft from the Guif of Coron, though his intelligence was a rumor anly ; and oa August 1 the\u2019 ememy was cried.His plan of attack was quickly formed, and it was markal by his wonted insight and skill.The Freach feet lay lo front of the roads of Aboukir, the rear supported Ly coast batteries, the centre and van more out at mea, but composed of new and formidable ships: and as shoals stretched hitween it and the neighbor ing shore, its admiral, Brueys, believed that no foe would thread the way between and attack from that aide.Nelson, however, a dexteroun plat from hoy hood, saw that with fine steering the feat was possible; and he dinveted part of hia fiset to assaîl the enemy to the tandward through this intricate passage, while the remaining part assailed from the seaward.As evening fell his preparations were complete ; the ahoal stopped only one of the Hrit'xh shipe, and before an hour hod paweed tds Atvided Jina had encompassed more than half the French fleet.The jnsue of the batile was never doubtful; che French, indeed, fought with herule courage, but their rear and centre, placed betwen two fires, were gmduilly overpowered WEEKLY WITNESS.and Quest were.complied to takp rot- uge In Palermo.They soon, however, returned to the capital, Ruwaroff having driven the French from Italy, and they entered Naples on the faith of a treaty which amnestied their re.volte] muibjects.Nelson, who still heid hia Mediterranean command, and had taken the Royal family under his protection, nevertheleas declared the capitulation null, allowed the vindictive creatures of the court to work their will on disarmed enemies, and, hurrying on himself the trial and sentence, rave hin sanction to what can be only called the judicial murder of Caracclole, the admiral of the Neapolitan fleet who had served In the \u2018rebel\u2019 cause only under compulsion.History must severely condemn these acts, but there is reason to belleve that they were not causml, asm Is commonly supposed, hv female prumptings ; and we do not forget that, in that age, political passion ran furiously high, and often broke down all moral barriers,\u2014that it was the axe of the agsanninatiuns at Rastadt, of the crime of Vincennes, of the exe- cutlon of Ney.Nason remained on his station after this tragedy: he shared in some of the short-lived triumphs of the allies In 1790-1800, had the satisfaction of hearing of the capture of the two ships which had escaped from Aboukir, and gave effectual ald in the alege of Malta, taken by Bonaparte on his way to Egypt.By the winter of 1000 he was again in England, havinx received a peerage for the Battle of the Nite, and the weli-merited rank of vice- \u2014 {Pfortunate.for three of his ships at the outset grounded.The result was that, alihough his squadron destroyed the first line of the Danish defances, and threatened the capital with ruinous injury, the hostile batteries were not silenced, and Neison'a nhips had suffered s0 much that he readily welcomed the terms of a truce which exiricated him from no little danger, Parker, indeed, had been so alarmed at the prospect + that he had actually signalied the feet to retreat, but Nelson characteristically refused to obey until something lke victory had been attained,\u2014on the whole, certainly a wise resolve.Nelson was made a viscount for Copenhagen, and the league of the North was soon dissolved, for, though his succeas had not been perfect ft had taught the enemy a severe lesson.During the summer of 1801 he was engaged In watching the firat preparations for a descent on the Engliah coast, siready contemplated by Napoleon ; and he directed a baat attack on what was ere long to grow into the formidable and threatening flotllia of the Boulogne.The peace of Amiens brought the war to a close; and Nelson stood on a pinnacle of fame, the acknowledred chief of the navy of England.His life, however, had become unhappy, for his private as well as his public character wan not, It must be confessed, spotless.He was singularly susceptible to female influ ences and he had formed for some years an erring attachment for Kmma, the wife of Sir Wililam Hamilton.Ambasse- dor at Naples in 178.She was an ad- and destroyed; and their van, at anchor, admiral, and was greeted by his country

the \u2018Vanguard,\u201d had scarcely more than half the mrinath of the \u2018Orient.\u2019 This great victory\u2014perhaps Nelson's masterplecedmarks a new epoch In British naval history.The superiority, indeed, of the English fleets had been proved from the beginning of the war, especially on June 1, 1794, and the Revo.fution had injured the marine of France.Rut it was not until the Battle ot the Nile-the name given to Nelson's tri- umph\u2014that the navy of Fi tained its complete nacendan: 1t became the terror of even | enemies.This change was due, In the main, to Nelson.and unquestionably the dread his name inspired was the principal cause that, years afterwards.Napoléon's plan of Invading England failed.From this period, too, the whole naval service, so to speak, was animated Ly a new mpirit, and deeds of daring were done by men of the rising school which the Hawkes and Ansons would have never dreamed of.It is painful to turn from this blase of glory to natice a dark passage in Nelwn's caresr, The Battle of the Nile having again combined futionery France\u2014for Bonaparte and Ne army seemed lost, \u2014the court of Naples was drawn into the war, and the

extraordinary return from Ecypt having broken up the coalition against France, and inclined the Csar to a French liance, the northern ports.whh Denmark at their head, rencwed the armed neutrality of 17%; and in the firat months of 1301 a British Meet was fitted out for the Baltic to put an end to this menacing league.Bir Peter Parker, a cautious veteran, was made chief of this expedition, Nelson being only the second in command, for negotiation wos to be triad at first, and for this Nelson had no aptitude: but, though this arrangement promised well.it did not prove, on the whole, fortunate, The fleet, an extremely powerful armament, had passed the Sound by March 81\u2014 Nelson chafing at the delays of his colleague and nt diplomatic efforts which, he rightly thought, would give to the Danes what they wanted, time; and by April 7 It cast anchor In the waters around the Danish capital.The enemy, however, had already prepared the means of making mn stern resistance ; Copenhagen was covered by mirong bat- terlea, and an Impostng array of vi- ly-armed craft, protectad by a shoal, a8 war the cane at Aboukir, presented a most formidable line of defence.Nel.sonsthowever, declared for an immediate attack, and on May 2 the attempt was made, Parker having judicloumy left him to act for himself.Nelson's tactics resembled those of the Nile: he { cinsed on his foe Ly getting within the shoal ; but.from the nature of the case, he had not the means of placing the Danes between two fires ; he Is the struggle that ensued f the King'oaly; to deal with forts, not with vessels and his were in part and, though his conduct at Naples does not seem to have been due to her evil counsels he became almost her slave in his wild passion; and this not only lead to à separation from his wife, but had given him many wretched moments.and had caused much pain to his aged Bov- ereign.Discredit, however, of this kind could not detract from his aplendid services; and on the renewal of the war in 1808 Nelson was appointed to the Mediterranean command.He took up his station off Toulon; and for nearly two years he kept the French in port, fn spite of repeated efforts of escape, and of the vicissitudes of all kinds of weather, an example of endurance never equalled.Meanwhile Napoleon had been maturing his deep lald plan for invading England; the army which afterwards subdued the Continent had been marshalled along the cliffs of Boulogne; a vast armed flotilla has been assembled; and the descent was to be covered by an immense fleet, collected from many points of the compass, and concentrated in suitable force in the Channel.A variety of circumstances.however, the principal being the timidity of the rench admirals, alarmed at the recollections of the Nile, and fearing attempts to break the blockade delayed the execution of the enemy's design though certainly it was formidable $n the extreme, and was unsuspected unti) the last moment.At last, at the end of March, 166, the French Admiral Vile.neuve escaped from Toulon\u2014his mission being to rally a Spanish squadron to cross the Atlantic and reach the West Indies, and then.returning to the seas of Europe to liberate the French and Spanish squadrons blockaded at Ferrol, Rochefort and Brest, and to attain the Channel with a great armada of from Afly to sixty ships of the line.Ville mouve's operations were at first sue EE \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Noveusen 16, 1898.\u2014 cessful; he was at Martinique, by the middle of May, having been joined by a feet from Cadls; and though haunted, as it were, by the thought of Nelson, he was in full sail for Europe by the first of June, having as yet completely ¢luded the enemy.Meanwhile Nelson had sought for Villeneuve on the Medi- terraaean for several days; he had been long delay by contrary wind; and, though he had crossed the Atlantio with extreme rapidity, when apprised of the destination of his fos he had been lured away by a false report to the shores to the South American continent, and he only reached the latitude of Martinique to find Villeneuve and hiz fleet were gone.He salled from Antigus on June 13, pursuing with eleven sail a fleat of nineteen or twenty; and, as he feared that he might not come up with Villeneuve, he despatched several light craft to warn the Admiralty\u2014though not suspecting Napoleon's design\u2014that a hostile fleet was on the way to Europe.The precaution proved of the highest moment.Nelson missed Villeneuve in the Atlantic wastes, but one of these vessels conveyed his message.#ir Robert Calder, sent off for the purpose, intercepted Villeneuve off the coast of Spala, and, though the action was not decisive, the Frenchman was compelled to put into Ferrol, and was thus prevented from making northwards.Hefors long Nelson, still chasinæ Villeneuve, but ignorant w his enemy was had approached Europe and made for England; and at this intelligence the French admiral safl- «d from Ferrol southward, and put into Cadix, completely frustrating his master's projects.The position of affairs bad now become clearer\u2014though Collingwood alone, of British seamen, had even an inkling of Napoleon's purpose; and the Admiralty made prepare- tone at once to attack the fleet that had fied into Cadix.Nelson was placed in supreme command and he was off Cadis In the last days of September.His fleet numbered thirty-three or thirty- four sail of the line; that of Villeneuve was of the same force, the Ferrol squadron having joined his own; but, as Nelson knew that the French chief would not veaturs to fight on equal terms, he actually sent away seven or eight ships, in order to bring about an engagement which he had resolved should prove de- clsive, By Oct.% Villeneuve had put to ses with the combined fleets of France and Bpain.He obeyed a peremptory command of Napoleon, who had stigmatized him as a feeble coward, he left Cadis, trusting to a false report that Nelson had only twenty ships; and yet, with thirty-three, he dreaded a battle.Nelson, eager to decoy the Frenchman out, had kept a considerable distance from land, but the enemy's movements were watched by his frigates, and he was informed of them throughout the night.His plan of attack had been made some time.The ships of the allies being very numerous, he rusolved to break their line at two points, and in this way the results, he believed, of the manoeuvre would be more quick and effective.By daybreak on Oct.2l the fleet of Villeneuve was descried off the Cape of Tra- faigar; and the English fleet was formed into two columns, the northern led dy Nelson in the \u2018Victory,\u2019 the southern under Collingwood in, the \u2018Royal Hover eign\u2019 The wind was light, and there was an ocean swell; Nelson's ships slow- iy advanced on the waters; and, as they approached the hostile fleet the run shining on the masses of sails presented a grand and imposing appearance.Villeneuve, a skilful seaman, though a timid leader, had arranged his squadrons ably to meet the attack; he had formed them into two paratiel lines, the vessels of the second commanding the spaces between the vessels of the first line; and they were thus marshalled in a com- .| pact arrsy.each division giving support to the other and offering a continuous front of fire to the enemy.Deafening cheers broke from the I3ritish armament as the celebrated signal flew from the flagship, \u2018England expects every man to do his dirty,\u2019 and It is said that Villeneuve, 88 lie heard the shouting, exclaimed to his officers that \u2018all was lost.\u2019 \u2018The southern column came Into action towards noon and Collingwood first broke the hostile line, pouring & destructive broadside into the \u2018Sante Anna\u2019 and then ranging alongside the \u2018Fou- geux.' The 'Royal Sovereign,'howsver, had out-sailed her consorts, and he was surrounded by enemies for many minutes before a friendly ship could come to his aid; and this circumstance not only proves how absolute had become the confidence of the British chiefs, but how the manoeuvre of piercing the line requires a better fleet to have & chance of success.By this time the northern column was engaged; the \u2018Victory\u2019 assailed by a tremendous fire, broke through the enemy soon afier twelve, making immense havoc in Villeneuve's flagship, and exchanging broadsides with the \u2018Redoubtacie\u2019 and with the huge \u2018Santissima Trinidad,\u2019 by far the largest man-of-war afloat; and here again some moments elapsed before the \u2018Temeraire\u2019 gave her partial relief.The action had now become general and the British ships In the rear came up.reducing the great inferiority in the first attack.-8ix or seven ships of the enemy's first line made à atern and noble resistance but the \u2018second line graduaily fell to leeward; the van.as at the Nile, scarcely fired a shot: and, divided, scattered snd overpowered at every point where the defence was maintained, the allied fleet ere long was a mass of fragments, disabled, helpless and pursued by their conquerors.Nevertheless the victory, splendid as It was, was dearly \u2018bought by the loss of the life of the 11- lustrious warrior who had prepared it.A musket ball from the \u2018Redoubtable\u2019s\u2019 tops inflicted a mortal wound on Nelson about an hour after the battle began, and he died towards evening to the unspeakable grief of all who witnessed the sorrowful scene in the \u2018Victory\u2019 He retained, however, his great faculties to the last: he lived to hear that aimost two-thirds of the enemy's fleet had been destroyed or captured; and, though he passed away In the prime of manhood.it cap hardly be said that his death was premanare, for the foes of England had been swept from the ocean.We have indicated Nelson's undoubted errors and he was inferior to several of England's naval chiefs 10 political sagmeity and calm forethought.But he was the greatest of her commanders at rea; he was unrivalled, in an eventful age of war, for resource, daring.professional skitl, and the art of winning the hearts of men; and, on the whole, he was yond cousparison the first of the na worthies of his country.Hie remains were conveyed to England and futarred to St.Paul's Cathedral oa Jas.§ 1906 Novæwsen 15, 1898, THE ADJUTANT-GENERAL.COL.WALKER POWELL, PERMANENT HEAD OF THE MILITIA OF CANADA.tary service has always been a first gharge on the public gratitude of the peo- le of England, but the example of the Mother Country Is not being followed In Canada at the present time, as an examination of the facts would show.there is no man in the Dominion to whom the country owes so :nuch In connection with our military systeia as to Col.Walker Powell, the Adjutant-Gen- era).He han been the permanent head of the militia of Canada ever alnce Confederation, and even before thai was Deputy Adjutant-General nf Upper Ca- pada.He was in office when the Militia Act was passed, and has atministered under lt to the great satisfaction of the force and of the public generally.This ts the man, however, whom the Major- General commanding would remove from the slafl.The desire of General Herbert is known to his superior, the Minister of Militia, Mr.C.Patterson, who admitted recently that he did know of it.Mr.Patterson is a man of some shrewdness and considerable diplomacy, and it is not likely that he will comply with General Herbert's desire.Two old COL.WALKER POWELL.soldters wha had grown gray in the Canadian service, Lieut.-Col.Btraubensie ana Lieut.-Col.Villiers, were both turned off & short time ago, without even so much as an annual allowance in the shape of a pension.They are both active men and just as capable of discharging their duties as they were ten years ago.Many other things might be mentioned to show the absence of the spirit possessed by the authorities of every country in the world, to reward and honor those who have Spent their lives in the service of the country.Col.Walker Powell ts descended from United Empire Loyalist stock and wes born in one of the countles bordering on lake Erle, Norfolk, & years ago.He was educated at Victoria Coliege, Co- bourg, and was first appointed an officer fn the Norfolk regiment of miikia in iM7, over forty-five years ago, and after having won his spurs was promoted to & colonelcy in 187% At Confederation he was chosen to be deputy adjutant- general for the Dominion at headquarters and in 157 became adjutant- graeral, which office he still holds.He turned out at the call of duty In afl the affairs that we have had from the time he entered the militia until his duties bound him down to headquarters, and Le tells many an amusing and exciting incident of some of these affaire He has seen thé yeomen of the country summoned to arms on short notice and by various crude means, and has met them gathering to some central point, eager :o meet the foe or quell a disturbance.In this way Col.Powell bas mixed with the men who are the backbone of the militia of Canada.He has been one of them and understands exactly under what conditions they serve in the militia, by what feelings and impulses they ars controlled.and has a ready sympathy with them in thelr trials as well as In their triumphs.Add- «d to these things he has à wide personal acqualntance with the officers and men of the force from one end of the Dominion to the other, and it is a common practice when any of them are in dim- culty or doubt, even when the trouble is more than half of à private nature, for them to write to Col.Powell and ask his advice.Ve has watched battalions or- ranise and grow up.one by one, and he has seen the marvellous growth of the city regiments, until when he recently visited Toronto the Queen's Own paraded six hundred strong for the purpose of showing him what they could do on occasion, No such muster has ever been recorded In any regiment before.When itis known that the authorized strength of this corps is less than four hundred it will be seen what a remarkable dewmon- stration the parading of six hundred men was; but the members of the militia would do more to make a good showing and give a pleasant surprise to the Ad- jutant-General than they would to the Major-General in command, no matter who he might be.General Herbert is receiving credit, and properly so, for a resolution to disband all inefficient battalions.This was the policy resolved on shortly after Confederatim under the first Minister of Militia, Jr George Cartier.At that time Col.Powell went to the Minister and told him that he had a splendid chance of advancing the policy of the Department In the matter of militia reform, because, he said, the battalion in Your own county is reported to be non- efficient, and ought to be dixbanded.\u2018Dishand my county battalion,\u2019 exclaimed Sir George Cartier, \u2018why, if I did that my seat would not be worth & day's purchase.No, no, I can never do that\u2019 Col.Powell hax been brought into contact from personal experlence with ail the dificulties autrounding the Management of the force, and probably the greatest difficulty that he has had to ¢onlend with has been political interference.At Intervals, when there Yas no commander-in-chlef, Col.Powell han filled that position and dis.tharged the duties of both offices, and ft 13 safe to say that the interests of the force would have been better pro- Minted If he had been allowed to continue to fil both offices, or else pro- Moted to the higher office.In that trent the mistakes of a Luard and the Mundory of & Middleton would not have Wott their bad impress on the militia force.\u2018The officers, who bave been brought ever and plased in command of & force about which they knew nothing, and with which they had no sympathy, and whone feelings they could not comprehend, come and go, but Adjutant-General Powell has remained the permanent head of the force, discharging his duty unostentatiously, but doing it every in the year, always at his post, d thoroughly competent to do the right thing at the right moment.An Fngllsh olficer, me- customied to the dlsciplino and system of the regular army, is, perhaps, rather disqualified than qualified by his experience for dealing with citizen soldiers.He does not understand that a member of the Canadian militia is also a Canadian citizen, who usually considers himself the equal, apart from military affairs, of his neighbor, and who Ia, in very many Instances, both socially and In other ways the superior of the officer who happel to command his company.The militia officer in Canada usually considers himself just as good as the Major-General commanding In everything but military matters.The fallure to comprehend the conditions and circumstances of the volunteer system In Canada has been the chief cause of the fallure of the Generals In successive command to leave tfie force any better, or even as good, as they found it.The blunders and bun- gllng of the commanding officers have been somewhat ncutralized by the Departments having such a mainstay as the Adjutant-General always present.With long experience and a ripened judgment, he ls to-day the man most needed hy the force, and if the country were deprived of hia services while he Is yet In the full vigor of his powers the loss would be natlonal in its character.Cal.Powell has rendered service to the country as a diplomat, having been authorised many years ago to proceed t) some of the Pacific Islands on a mission for the Canadian Government, a mis.tion he discharged to the full satisfaction of the Government.His political experience qualified him for such a task.He was trained in that school for statesmen, the municipal council, and was elected Warden of the County of Norfolk, which county he also repre- wented In the old Ganadian Assembly from 187 to 1861.Personally, Col.Powell ls one of the best liked men in Ottawa.He is a good type of the English gentleman and blends with a dignified bearing that genial manner which is so delightful when found fn a man of his age and position.He is so thoroughly acquainted with his work that he has been able to labor very hard and stil retain the best of health, alded greatly, no doubt, by indulging freely his fondness for out-door exercise.It 1s said that but for Col.Powell the Royal Military College at Kingston would never have been established.He ts still one of the official visitors and takes a deep interest In the graduates and their future career.A.J.MAGURN.Ottawa.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF FRENCH EVANGELIZATION.Christian Friends,\u2014The Board of French Evangelization exists for the purpose of giviug the inestimable blessing of an open Bible to the million and a quarter of French-speaking Homun Catnolics lu the Dominion of Canada.To this end it employs colporteurs.&chool teachers, missionaries and pastors.Eighty-nine workers are thus engaged.In the ninety-six preaching statlons one hundred and niuety-two members were added to the Church during the year.Sixteen hundred and twenty-four coples and portions of the Scriptures and twenty-five thousand tracts and religious pepers were sold and distributed.Eight hundred and ehirty-three scholars, of whom three hundred and eigh:y-three were from Roman Catholic homes, were taught in the mission day schools.One hundred and sixty-eight boys and girls atiended the Central Mission Schools at Pointe-aux-Trembles, of whom six were children of Protestant families, seventy-five of converted fu- milies, and eighty-seven of parents who still adhere to the Church of Rome.It is needless perhaps to say that the hierarchy control the schools in the Province of Quebec, and hence the necessity for mission day schools.Eighteen French students are pursuing their studies in the Presbyterian College, Montreal, where the Board supports a French professor.For over fifty years this work bas been carried on.Results cannot be represented by figures, but some of them are to be seen in a growing intelligence and appreciation of evangelical truth on the part of the people and a corresponding giving way of prejudices ; in the desire, tacit or avowed, to break away from ecolesias- tical authority and domination ; in the thousands of Roman Catholics who read proscribed literature ; in the increasing demand for better education for their children, and requests for the establishment of mission schools ; in the fifteen hundred pupils attending Protestant mission schools ; in the twelve thousand Canadians of French origin who attend evangelical places of worship in Canada; in the twenty-five thousand h-Cana- dian Protestants who have gone to the United States, and in the fact that while ty-five years ago re was not a known French-Canadian Protestant, to-day there are some forty thousand in Canada and the United States.There are at present open doors into new paiinhes and urgent re quests for tenchers.But the board ie face to face with a large deficit, and finds itself reluctantly obliged to comm sider where and how retrenchment can be mute so ag to keep within the limits of the means at Its disposal.After anxious consideration jt has been resolved to borrow the amount necessary to meet salaries now due (mak- jug tic indebtedness at date about $11,000) tn the nincere hope that the result of this appeal may render un- ne any contraction of the work.As the executive will meet In a short time to take definite action regarding this matter, a liberal and hearty response le respeatfully and earnestly solicited.We commend this work to the svmpathy and prayers and lib.«rality of all whe love the Redeemer.Yours sincerely, D.H.MACVICAR, D.D.frman.8.J.TAYLOR, Secretary.Montreal, Nov.1, 1893.Contributions should be sent so the treasurer, addressed Rav, H Warden, DD, P.O.Boz 187, Montreal, THE MONTREAL ARTISTIC

the encouragement by its high-spirited citizens, of education and art.There was always the regret associated with the art gallery on Philips\u2019 square that it was too small to ade quately house all

APPLIED WHEN THE CASE POR PRO RIBITION WAS BEING PRESSYTED BY NR.7.8.BPESCE-\u2014-INDIGNANT BUT UNAVAILING PROTESTS OF THE REV.DA.M'LEOD \u2014CHIXF JUNTICE ARMOUR'S TENTINONT.(From Our Own Correspondent.) Toronto, Nov.3.\u2014The examination of Mr.F.8.Spence, this morning, well- nigh resulted in the disruption of the Royal Commission on the liquor traffic.Several times the proceedings became quite stormy, the Rev.Dr.McLeod protesting vehemently against the interruptions, as he termed them, of Sir Joseph Hickson and Judge Macdonald, when he was putting questions to the witness.The upshot was that the chairman ruled out & number of ques tions put by the Rev, Dr.Mcleod, and refused to permit Mr, Spence to an- awer them.The climax in this respect was reached when Mr.Bpence was showing him how the prohibitory law in the Nortb-West was, under Lieut.- Governor Royal's breaking-down system changed from a well-enforced prohibitory law into a loosely enforced one.Judge Macdonald, In an sudible tone, remarked to the chairman that Mr.Spence should not be permitted to deal with the question In the way he was doing.Dr.McLeod turned to Sir Joseph and said: \u2018Sir Joseph, I am no eavesdropper, but I must protest against these continual interruptions.\u2019 The Chairman said that he had no desire to interrupt and trusted that 12 he saw the necessity, he would do 20 in an open and courteous way.Judge Macdonald, with considerable warmth, charged Mr.Spence with making for over an hour a prohibition platform speech.Dr, McLeod said that on the contrary Mr.Spence was but answering his questions.Judge Wacdonald\u2014'He has been constantly interjecting charges and inferences.\u2019 Sir Joseph Hickson\u2014I must say, Mr.Spence, that you have been rather discursive.\u2019 Dr.McLeod\u2014'I asked him to give me a brief sketch of what he knew of the history of the prohibitory law in the North- West and he bay been giving It fa a most jucld and condensed way.\" An argument of a fervid kind then took place between Dr.Mcleod and Sir Joseph Hickson.The chairman charged Dr.McLeod with wanting to decide how the commission should conduct its Investigations and sald.\u2018Surely you will abide by the decision of the majority of the Commission T \u2018I shall do nothing of the kind,\" said Dr.McLeod, \u2018I took the ground from the first that no commissioner should be Interferad with In the way in which he should question a witness.\u2019 THE GAG LAW APPLIED.Mr.Spence produced twenty-five let.fers from leading men throughout the province written a year after the repeal of the Scott Act, Including one from Judge Macdonald, in support of the statement that the repeal of the Scott Act had been accompanied by an Increase of intemperance, while under the Scott Act tt had decreassd.He wished to read the whole or extracts from the letters so that the testimony might go on record.Dr, McLeod supported Mr.Spence.Judge Macdonald opposed it, and Slr Joseph Hickson refu: to permit even one extract to be Dr.McLeod asked Mr.Spence if he had made any effort to ascertaln the testimony of the medical men of Toronto regarding the temperance question.The witness produced the original replies received from ninety-two Toronto physicians, but not only was he not ai- lowed to Dut their statements or any of fliem on record but tne chairman absolutely refused to permit Dr.McLeod to ask Mr.Spence what questions the latter put to the physiclans.Dr.McLeod openly showed his disgust at this kind of ruling and insisted on the stenographer putting his protest on record.A further application of gag law was made when Mr.Spence asked to be permitted to read, in support of his statement that intemperance had increased in consequence of the adoption of license in the North-West, one paragraph from the lust report of the Commissioner of Mounted Police.Dr.McLeod strongly urged that to refusé such permission, after the wide latitude allowed tv distillers and brewers to read extracts of all kinds from their distillery books, was & new and highly tmgroper ruling.This protest, like the ors, was unavailing and the ph was forbidden.one paragru In dealing with the North-West Mr.Spence gave as one instance of how license works, the fact that a high official when called to give evidence before the commissioners, wheu they themselves were Jn the North-West was too drunk to do so.He showed that Lieut.- Governor Royal's permit system wae introduced against the wish of the people of the Territories.That the prohibi- tlonista had petitioned to be allowsd to have a popular vote on the question before the repeal of the law; that the Legislature of the North-West had on behalf of the whole of the people asked the Dominton Pari\u2018ament to grant such a vote, but that in spite of the sentiment of the people being for prohibition, and it doing immense good, the license syatem was forced upon them.While giving Unie testimony end detailing the part which as & representative of the Dominion Alilance he ¢nok in the matter, Mr.Bpence was con- tinuslly checked, warned, cautioned and argued with by the chairman.who in this was supported by Judge Macdonald, hut eo armed was he with personal knowledge of fact that the testimony had to be taken.He showed that when Iieut.-Governor Royal went to the North-West the prohibitory Jaw was well enforced, but that the whole aspect of affairs was changed by Mr.Royal introducing a permit system wiich allowed pityingiy upon the men outside who pursue ephemera and call them stable and earnest.mendation of the member for the con- stitueney in tha North-West Legisia- ture, the result being that for this recommendation the members granting it received in return the support of the permit-hotding liquor-dealer.A draft prohibition bill drawn up by Mr.Spence and others was submitted.This bill set forth the evils of the liquor traffic, and proposed the enactment of a clause prohibiting the manufacture, importation and sale of all Intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes.The proposed machinery for carrying out the law was based upon that enacted in the McCarthy Act.Dr.McLeod asked that this bill De placed on record as one of the exhibits, Sir Joseph Hickson tossed it to Dr.Mc- Leod and told him he could have it If he desired.Dr.Mcleod warmly resented this and after a spirited argiment between the Commissioners it was placed by Dr.McLeod with the secretary, presumably to be treated as an exhibit, but the chairman declined to give any as surance that such would be the case.Mr, Spence deposed to a better condition prevailing In prohibition cities visited by him In his tour with the Royal Commission in the Western States.He pointed out, however, that the Commis sion when in California failed to visit any place under local option prohibition, although there was plenty of It, he remarked, in that state.As to the high cense city of ahs, Mr.Bpence deposed that the allurements to the social evil were as flagrant and open in that place, where it Is licensed, as those of the liquor traffic were in Toronto.Regarding Ontario, Mr.Spence produced a large amount of evidence to show that the Scott Act diminished intemperance in a number of counties to the extent of one half.Under the present license law Mr.Bpence showed that the liquor traffic of Ontario cost the province directly fifteen miilion dollars, for which privilege the total sum received by the province was but $30,000, In other words, the taxpayers of Ontarfo paid the liquor dealers thirty dollars for every dollar they collected for the provincial treasury.With such facts before them.he contended that the talk of a rich country like the Dominion losing seven millions & year, when In one province the community would, by the suppression of the liquor traffic, save $14,700,000, was scarcely worthy of serious consideration.In case of prohibition the revenue for alcoholic liquors for mechanical, medicinal and sacramental purposes would probably be at least a mii- llon a year.As to compensation, the only compensation paid at the time of the emancipation of the slaves hy Great Britain was shot and shell to the slave dealers wherever encountered, the money voted to the West Indian planters being subsequent to emancipation, and voted as a loan, owing to the financial difficulties resulting from emancl- pation.\u2018The liquor traffic has no just claim for compensation.As to public opinion in Canada.Mr.Spence pointed to the overwhelming vote for prohibition made by Manitoba ; that the liquor traffic is delegallzed In Prince Edward Island, in Nova Scotia, with the exception of one city and two counties : In the greater part of New Brunswick and in many municipalities in Quebec, while the vote in Ontario would, he confidently expected, give a large ma.Jority for prohibition.He was not confident that Quebec and British Columbia would favor prohibition, but the majority given by the rest of Canada would more than offset this.Mr.Spence's direct examination yesterday afternoon and cross-examination this worning occupied seven hours.CHIRP JUSTICE ARMOUR.Chief Justice Armour deposed that he had been on the bench for eighteen years.\u2018Intoxicating liquor,\u2019 he said, \u201cinjures & man physically and mentally, and I should be glad to see it banished forever.* fe was favorable to prohibition but afraid it could not be successfully enforced.\u2018In case of prohibition, Chief Justice Armour, do you think that the manufacturers should be compensated for their property rendered vylueless,\u2019 asked Judge Macdonald.\u2018I don\u2019t think any man should be compensated for any change in the law, any more than by a change in the tarif, We all are subject to changes of law mod hold our positions subject to changeability.\" Asked îf prohibitory liquor laws did not tend to cause perjury the Chief Justice made the Important deciaration: \u2018Perjury pertains as much to the license system as to prohibition.\u2019 \u2018The examination of Chile?Justice Armour only occupled about ten minutes.Mr.John Snell, farmer of Wellington County, deposed that the enactment of a prohibitory Jaw would not reduce the price of barley as It was now as low as it could be and only an improved foreign demand would affect its price.Bishop T.W, Campbell, of The Reformed Episcopal Church, gave strong testimony in favor of prohibition.SOLID CONSERVATIVES Waat Tarif Korn at Once.ALL THE FARMERS WANT A REDUCTION.The following letter wes received by o Conservative of this city from a Conservative who is a commercial traveller at present out on his fall trip in the West: \u2014 Toronto, Nov.3, 190.Dear \u2014, ¢ * * * * Trade is very quiet un here;

hours, and perhaps that will be enough for the present ; will you now tell us what public institutions you have been connected with and instrumental in forming.\u2019 Mr.How- land then mentioned the Industrial School, the missions which cover the whele eity, and the visitation of the prises Mr.Howland pointed out that he heavy eset of these enterprises was \u2019 borne by the and private benevolence, but that while they were tendered necessary by the liquor trame they were not supported by voluntary contributions from that source.Incidentally Mr.Howland remarked that he considered the commission made à great mistake In gathering opinions, as it was on facts alone that In the end they must base their report.Sir Joseph asked Mr.Howland what kind of fac(s \u2014the answer being to point to the minor sources of nancial) and criminal records which, in the case of Maine, especially in her savings bank returns, spoke highly for prohibition.Mr.Howland having quoted the two commissioners sent by a Toronto newspaper ta Maine, one for prohibition and the other against, the latter being converted to prohibition, the chalrman was handed a memorandum hy Mr.Kribbs, the liquor traffic representative.Hlancing at the note Sir Joseph anked with a smile, what If the prohbition commissioner on that trip became coti- vinced that prohibition was a fallure?\u2018I never heard that such was the case.said Mr.Howland, \u2018and he never sald 80 publicly, while the other certainly did.\u201d Mr.Kribbs, who had been listening with unusual animation, audibly con- tradioted Mr.Howland, who maid that he had never heard of it, and that if both commissioners had changed their views of course they would balance ons another, but that certainly their reports to thelr paper only Indicated that one of them, Mr.Thomson, who was converted to prohibition, did anything of the kind.A gentleman presén land left the witness stand, explained the facts of the foragoing episode.The correspondent referred to by Mr, Kribba was Mr, Willlams, brother of the Rev.TG.Williams, D.D.\u2026.of Montreal, and the change of attitude attributed to Mr.Willlums has been publicly denied by the Rev, Dr, Wililams from the temperance platform.The journalist re ferred to now In New Orleans.The witness who followed Mr.How- land was the Rev.Mr.Pedison, rector of Trinity Church, who declared htm- self apposed to prohibition an a matter of principle on the ground of interference with private rights CANON DUNMOULIN'S REMARKABLE VIEWS.Toronto, Nov.2\u2014The Royal Commission on the liquor traffic were engaged for two hours yesterday morning Us- tening to a rehearsal of the oft-quoted Beott Act and Crook's Act statistics.The witness was Mr.Totten, for twenty- three years an employee of the Ontarlo Proviticial Government.and now one of the officials of the Provincial License Department.After the statistictan had given piles of figures upon every imaginable view of the subject, which would occupy columns of a paper like the \u2018Witness\u2019 to publish, Mr.Totten was asked by Sir Joseph Hickson if he had examined the statistics of the State of Maine.The answer proved a knock-down hiow and seemed to preclude any further questions.The reply vas: \u2018No, I have not.but I may say that I have not the slightest confidence in opinions based upon statistics of any kind.\" \u201cWell, than, Mr.Totten, 1f the Commission should not form its conclusions upon statistics, how should it carry on its investigations?axked the chairman.Mr.Totten answered that he did not know, The statistics he had prepared were as accurate any could be, yet he would not consider it safe for the Commission to form conclusions upon them.He could not do it himself and certainly would not attempt to do so upon any statistics prepared in Maine or eise- where.Mr.Totten when asked respecting the opération of the Scott Act, stated that in his opinion it was not so good à mes- sure for controlling the liquor traffic as the Ontario License Act.The fact that statistics pointed to a reduction of intemperance and crime in Scott Act counties he did not consider altered the case, and sald that the Scott Act put things in such bad shape that it had taken the license department several years to get them as right as they were before the Scott Act was so generally adopted in Ontario, Mr.Totten gave as his chief reason for the non-enforcement of the Scott Act in this province the many legal difficulties which for the first few years had to be encountered.He vigorously repudiated the charge that the officials appointed by the Provincial Government had been unfaithful or out of sympe- thy with the law.PEER GARNENS SUGGESTED.Canon Dumoulln, of St.James Cathedral, deposed that he was a clerk in holy orders of the Church of England, and rector of the parish of Bt.James, He had been a resident of Canadas.He deplored the prevalence of intemperance in his parish, but would no more blame his wine merchant for the Intemperance of his customers than his butcher if he himself became a glutton.The Saturday night and Sunday closing laws were well ohserved, but as a detective could not stand at the saloon doors from Saturday night until Monday morning there were numerous \u2018slips,\u2019 in spite of the vigilance of the police.He was opposed to prohibition as an unwise and unworkable law.No such law, he said, was enacted by the Jews, Greeks or Romans ; neither had such « law been made by the British Parlta- ment.It could not be made to work in great cities.He had seen beer and wine served at a hotel at which he stopped in Portland.Majne.The object of a law should be to strengthen & man to do what was right, not to prevent him doing what was wrong.Prohibition, he declared.would not prevent sin of any kind.Dishonesty and idleness, In his opinion, were responsible for just much evib es was Intemperance.He believed in high license, because it would, he thought, close up the lower class of saloons.It was not the number of saloons which was to be deplored no much as the kind of saloon and how it was conducted.He did not regard liquor as @ poison, but as a creature to be used.He was oppor to intoxicating beverages being treated as poisonous drugs, and against prohibition as unnecessary as well as unwise.\u2018I believe, he mid, \u2018that people need something to amuse them and something to drink, and 1 think that the German beer gardens supply these requirements.1 never saw any disorderliness In any of them.\u2019 \u201cThen would you advocate the estad- lishment of such places In Toronto 7 asked the Rev.Dr.McLeod.\u2018IT cannot say that it would do the slightest harm,\u2019 he answered.\u201cThe consumption of light beer would, in my estimation, prove beneficial under cireumstan \u201d hen Mr.How- the while digging the grave, buried beside Rogers.AUTING-ABORETART UXDRR EXAMINATION.A aurprise was sprung upott the pro- hidbftionists thin morning when it be came ktiown that the acting-mecretary of the commission while on their tour in the Western States, acting under instructions of Mr, Oigault and Judge Macdonald, hed made special personal observations and notes of matters in prohibition cities unfavorable to prohibition and to points in high license cities favorable to the license system.The acting-secretary in question was Mr.Horton.of the \u2018Hansard\u2019 ataft.who hus been assigned as one of the stenographers to accompany the commission.This morning Mr.Horton waa called as 8 witness.Hin evidence led to one of several scenes which has made to-day the most lively, as one mpectator termed it \u2018apicy,\u201d of the commissioners\u2019 investigations here.After detalling how, tn company with Mr.Louis F.Kribba the liquor trac representative, he had succeeded (n procuring liquor at various prohibition towns in Kansas and lows, the Rev.Dr.Me- læod cross-examined Mr.Horton.The beer which he drank In the proh'bition towns he said he drank as a matter of good fellowship, the drinking not being in his official capacity.On being pressed for an answer he admitted that in the inland citles of Kansas, especially in the capital Topeka and Ottawa, the prohibitory law was a success, dut in the border cities on the Mianourl state line the law was largely violated, and it was upon the violations in the border eties that he enlarged in his direct evidence.Regarding St.Paul under high license Mr.Horton spoke of its good order, ete., but admitted that the evidence of the Chief of Police of that city that no attempt was made to prevent the sale of liquor on Sunday in that city must be accepted.As to the high license system Wn Kansas City, Mo.Mr.Horton in cross-examination further admitted that the intemperance there, to a man from Toronto, was shocking.the number of drunken women seen in the sireets at night being one of theinstances of disorderiiness quoted.Mr.Horton, whea the question was put to him by Dr.Mcleod.point-blank.whether he had been impartial in his observations, deposed with great emphasis and deliberution that he had been quite impartial.A lively argument arose between Dr.Mcleod and the chairman, Sir Joseph Hickson, as to the propriety of putting such questions, which ended by Dr.Mc- Leod being allowed to proceed as t prohibitionist commissioner firmly asserted his right to ask the witness fully as to who Instructed him to make his od- servations and notes, and how he made them.Mr.Horton «ald that he war Instructed by Judge Macdonald and Mr.Gigault.Mr.Horton stated that during the whola trip he did not see one of the commissionerr take any liquor.INTEMPERAXCE AND INSANITY.Dr.Andrew Clarke, superintendent of the Toronto Insane Asylum, followed, and gave important testimony.He had held his present position for eighteen years.The asylum now holds 720 persons.In giving the causes of Insanity Dr.Clarke said: The most prolific soures of Insanity is hereditary.The other causes are varied: intemperance, domestic or business troubles.Heredity fs the cause in about sixty percent of the cases.About three and a half percent are caused by religious excitement, or rather that percentage of cases occur in which religious excitement is the manifestation of the insanity, but it is probably the first manifestation rather than the cause.Statistics as to the cause of insanity are very unrelisble, sald the doctor, when asked as to how many persons were driven insane by Intemperance.To ascertain the percentage of jnsane through drink, however, he investigated some years ago the records of over six thousand cases, when he found that, according to the admissions of thelr friends, of that six thousand at least one in ten was made insane by intemperance \u2018IT have made up my mind,\u201d proceeded Dr.Clarke, \u2018that intemperance of parents brings about both mental and physical degeneracy in children.The moment you get degeneracy in a child you cunnot tell what form It is going to take, It may be hysteria, nervous disorder of some other kind, or it may be insanity.\u201d \u2018The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.\u2019 Dr.Clarke said that total abstinence would be the grestest possible benefit to the community and that he would be in| favor of prohibition, if it were practicable, but he did not think its enforce ment In Canada practicable.Mr.Christie, Inspector of Asylumms, gave a table of the statistics of the asylums for the province for the past ten years, which showed a considerable Increase in rate of new cases a year.The tom! now in round figures for last year was four thousand.THE GAG ARPLIED.Toronto, Nov.3\u2014The liquor trafic commission which has allowed brewers and liquor men to express opinions, reminiscences.and Invited them to make any further observations which they desired, applied the gag law to Mr.F.8.Spence, secretary of the Dominion Alliance, this morning, and through the chairman, Sir Joseph Hick- son, absolutely refused to allow him to put in as evidence important statements of facts.Dr.McLeod vigorously protested several times and insisted on his protests being placed on record.\u2014_\u2014 DARING ROBBERY OF MINERS.THE LEADER OF A FANOUS GANG ARRESTED.Victoria, B.C, Nov.&\u2014A French smuggler, belleved to be Belfort, the leader of the Kootenay band of white.capped robbers, was arrested near the Montana boundary yesterday.If the arreated man proves to be the Frenchman the arrest of his local confederates will quickly follow.The gang descended upon the camp of some Chinese miners who were on thelr way home after three years\u2019 work, and.rousing the wirers from sleep, drove them into the forest and robbed their waggon of $21,000 fn gold dust.Joe Rogers, a veteran stageman, who was in charge of the party, received a blow on the head which left him dazed, and the foliowing day he fell from a waggon down a pre.ciplce and was killed.To conclude the chapter of accidents, à grave-diguer who was vent to prepare Rogers\u2019 last resting place fell a victim to heart disease was THE PLEBISCITR CAMPAIGN.OOUNTT OUNVESTIONS ~SFRAKERS' DATES\u2014 CROWDED AND ENTHUSIASTIC MEETINGS METHOINBTS AKI TH PLEBISOITE \u2014A FINE MEETING AT ALEXANDRIA.Alexandris, Nov.7.\u2014A most successful gathering was held here to-day to organize fur the plebiscite campaign iu this county.The meeting was held fn the Presbyterian Church, and people were present from all over Glengarry, both lay and clerical.Considerable enthusiasm was manifested anl datermi- nation expressed to carry the county by a large majority against the liquor trade.Mr.Donald Kennedy, of Kenyon, was chosen as chairman, and the Rev.Duvid Mclaren, of Alexandria, as svc- retary.' \u2018The meeting was opened by prayer and the singing of the old 100th Psalm.After n few remarks by the chairman the Rev.Mr, Calder, of Lancaster, gave n mont interesting address, in which he nald the people were somewhat late entering into the campaign.That he had heen appointed by Mr.Spence, of Toronto, on behalf of the Dominion Alliance to organize the county.He said he had attended every meeting In Qiengarry since 1884, but had never seen no large and enthusiastic a meeting as the one he was now addressing.He ridiculed the way the On- tarto and Dominton Government had plaved with the temperance people whenever they wers asked for leginia- tion on the matter.The Dominion Government had appointed a Royal fom- mission to find out the injurious effects of the liquor traffic.He wanted the Royal Commission to find such evidence.Wa have only to open our windows and Took upon the streets and view the un- sixhtly brawin of intoxicated prople to Ret lots of evidence on this point.The icgislatures will not go ahead of public opinion, therefore we must arouse the country and show the legislature our opinton on this question by an over whelming vote In January next.The following committees were then appointed: Lancaster\u2014Mr.D.C.McRae, Mr.W.D.McPherson, Mr.Denald McPherson, Mr.M.Condie,

Rev.Mr.McKenzie, During the meeting a committee was appointsd to wait upon Bishop Mac- donel!, who, after interviewing His Lordshiip reported that the Bishop had promised to take.the matter into West serious consideration and the committee had reason to hope that the Bishop would give them asistance in their good work.An organizer was suggested who would take entire charge of the election and central room, Mr.Carson.of Montreal, being named as a most fitting man.Kingston, Ont, Nov.%\u2014The Proht- bitionists have fully organized for the plebiscite work under the following officers: President, Mr.W.B.Roberta son; vice-president, Dr.W.G.Angiin; joint secretaries, the Rev, J.D.Boyd and Mr.8.J.Kilpatrick; treasurer, Mr.Arthur Chown.The wards wiil be fully organized and an endeavor made to cast a big vote in favor of the plebiscite.Brockville, Nov.10.\u2014The Conference Special Committee of the Methodist Conference met here on Wednesday, among other business transacted was the adoption of the following resolution, having reference to the approaching prohibition pleblacite in this province: \u2014 \u2018Resolved, that whereas the Legislature of this province has appointed a plebiscite to ascertain the strength of the public sentiment in favor of a prohibi.tery law in relation to the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes and inasmuch as the history of the prohibitionist movement reveals to us that the present mdvanced position of the sentiment in favor of such legislation has been won, at least In part by avalling ourselves of every opportunity afforded us to advance our principles even though such opportunities may not be ds great as we desire, therefore, we, the members of the Spe- clal Committee of the Montreal Conference hereby express our firm con- vietion that important advancement will be gained for the prohibitory movement by securing as large a majority in favor of this princi 1s within the power of its friends to win.We, therefore, most earnestly urge upon all true men and women to unite in one grand effort to roll up such an overwhelming majority in favor of prohibition that both political parties will awake to the knowledge that thelr very existence depends upon giving us such & law as we demand, incorporating such methods for its enforcement as shall make it as effective as any law on our statute books.\u2019 The resolution as above was introduced by the Rev.Dr.Willlams, supported by the Rev.G.3.Huxtable, and carried by the meeting amidst much enthusiasm.The plebiscite has had a good send-off and there Is every hope that this county will poll a big vote on Jan.1.Toronto, Nov, 10.-Prohibition conventions for organization for the ple biscite campaign, will be held at Pals.ley, for Bruce County, on Nov.14.and at Barrie, for Centre Bimcoe.on Nov.2.The probibitionists of Bouth Wellington have organized with the Rev, J.C.Madiil, chalrman, and the Rev.R.M.Craig.secretary.The officers of the West Durham Prohibition Assoc! tion are the Rev.R.D.Fraser, president; Mr.John J.Mason, secretary: and Mr, T, C.Jewell, treasurer.Prohibition meetings, crowded to the door, have this week been held In the Dun- dan Btreet Methodist Church, London, addressed by Major Æ.T.Scott and Mrs.Bcott, The Rev.J.H.Hector, the \u2018Black Knight.\u2019 has this week addressed enthusiastic meetings at Grimsby and Brantford.Me will peus, at London on the 15th, Mh, and inst, and here \u2014 on the 2rd and Nth.Mr.G.F.Murter, M.P.P., will this Friday, evening, address a plebiscite rally at the Alice Street Hall, The Hon.A.G.Wolfenbarger and Prof.Huckson ba pent the week at Parkdale and Bowmanville.The Nebraska orator's eloquence has made a lasting impression everywhere he has spoken.At Bowmanville, the Town Hall was overcrowded, the aisies be- Ing blocked with extra chales.Dr.Me- Laughlin, who presided at the second meeting at Bowmanville is a veteran prohibitionist.He was for t years a member of the Ontario Legislature.Mr.Wolfenbarger thrilled his large audience by his descriptions of the lawless doings of the lquor traffic in Omaha, whers for thirteen years high license has been in operation,and showed the lengths to which liquor witnesses before the Royal Commission would go when they would speak with approval of such a city.Mr.Wolfen.barger recounted what he saw there a few weeks ago.At Omaha he saw 200 raloons without any attempt being made to close them on Sunday, with #1 _shebeons holding United States certificates, which protect them from the Federal authorities.Mr.Wolfenbarger Also testified that the month of July, spent by him In the prohibition state of Towa, proved to him that the probl- bitory law was well etiforced over the greater part of the state, everywhere it was being enforced the benefit being very susceptible.Thin speaker, with Prof.Huckins, whose campaign songs are very taking, wlll speak at the Rev, Dr.Parker's church on Sundey and Tuesday evenings next, Mr.Wolfen.harger's personal knowledge of the condition of affaire In high license Nebraska and in prohibition territory, renders his addresses of especial value In

twenty men, the only members of the crew who escaped being the fireman and the cook.A scow of stock was In tow, but was cut loose for the purpose of allowing it to run to shore and it is still drifting, Seven men in all were saved.The cause of the fire is unknown.A life-boat belonging to tre burned steamer has been found drifting with a hole in one side.PARTICULARS OF THE DISASTER NIPISSING.North Bay, \u20ac nt.Nov.&\u2014The following detailed account of the burning of the steamer \u2018John Fraser and the loss of twenty lives hus been received: The \u2018John Fraser was a good-sized steamboat recently purchased by Messrs.Davidson & Hay, lumber merchants of Torontc.She left Callender, on the southern shore of the lake, early es terday morning with a scow in tow.She had twenty-seven m-n on beard, mostiy shanty tien.and the zcow was laden with stock, the destination of the whole being Mesars.Davidson & Hay's lumber camp at Cache Pay on the western shore of the lake When about twenty miles out from Callender and a few miles from Goose Island, the steamer caught fire In some way not yet explained.The lake here is about twenty- five miles wide.but the steamer was between Goose Island and the southern shore, about three miles from each.The weather was fine, though a breeze was blowing, and had the steamer been stopped the flames might possibly have been fought.Either with the idea of reaching Goose Island, or through thoughtiessness or panic, the boat's en- rines were not stopped.She plunged ahead, the flames geining rapidly, until the steamer was a mass of fire.Capt.Carr soon realized that all hope of sav- Ing the boat was gone.The fatal mistake, as It proved, of cutting the scow loose was made at this juncture, the idea being to save the stock.The scow drifted off.Capt.Carr then commenced getting all hands Into the steamer's boat.In the confusion and with the flames gaining, the boat nearly full of men drifted against one of the paddle wheels, and In a moment had one side smashed out and capsized, throwing out a mass of struggling men into the ice- cold water.Some tried to clamber on board the steamer.others to swim to the fcow, now some distance off, Meanwhile the flames grew flercer, and the few who had still been on the steamer jumped oft with pleces of board or anything, in the hope of reaching the scow.But most sank in the cold waters.It is not thought that many were burned, it any.Among the drowned were Capt.Carr and & storekeeper namea Douglass.\u2018The firemen and cook of the steamers crew and five others were saved out of 27 or 28 all told.The burning was witnessed from Frank's Bay, on the southern shore of the lake by Capt.Burritt and an Indian, who launched a mail boat and hastened to the fre-clad steamer, but by the time they reached the scene the \u2018Fraser\u2019 was burned to the water's edge, and the seven survivors had reached the scow in safety.The steamer's huil sank in about 3 feet of water, and the only thing that now marks the scene of the shocking occurrence is a short plece of smoke stack which appears above the water.Nothing is accurately known as yet as to the names or reslience of most of those who lost their lives.Nearly all were shantymen bound for the woods for the winter, whk h accounts for the large number on board the steamer, The terrible occurrence has caused great excitement here.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WILSON RATHER UNFORTUNATE.London, Nov.9.\u2014Mr.John Havelock Wilson, member of Parliament and secretary of the National Seamen's Union, received

stake in ntander, Spain, has received a letter from that place dated Nov, 4 (Saturday), day following the terrible disaster bare caused by the explosion of the dynenite laden steamer.saying that lave hundred people were instantly killed by the explosion and that over & thousand people wers wounded.The letter received here also says that all the authorities of the port were killed.Madrid, Nov.7.\u2014The iatest details concerning the disaster at Santander on Friday last show that the number of dead.missing and wounded is fully a thousand.The people have nop recovered from the effects of the carastro- e and are entirely apathetic, paying Bo attention to business, but and- ing about the streets discussing the aw- ts) calamity that has befallen the city.Men and women living near the water front, who providemtially escapad from tt wrecking of thelr homes, can be wen in numbers standing near the huge masses of debris that All the streets, willing to recover the bodies of those own to be under the ruins.The weed everywhere in the vicinity of where the destruction.was wrought by ue cxploding dynamite are sad in the extreme, and whenever a body, crushed spd mangled beyond recognition, is removed from the ruins, a heartrending wall goes up from the women who fear thet shapeless mass of flesh may be ail that remains of one of their loved ones.There is no doubt many of the dead will never be identified.Senor Gamazo.Minister o?Finance, at once proceeded from Madrid to Ban- tander when the extent of the calamity became known.He summoned the town officials and expressed to them the sympathy of the Government.He also ea- sured them of the sympathy of the Queen Regent, who, he sald, had wept upan hearing of the calamity that had befallen the city.When Benor Gamazo mw how helpless the authorities were In the crisis confronting them he in a great measure took the administration of affairs into his own hands.He telegraphed to Valadolid, ordering that medi- ea! stores, nurses snd other heipers be « once sent to Santander.A subscrip- ton for the relief of the sufferers was sarted, Senor Gameazo heading It with a Kit of $6,000 on behalf of the Govern- it.Many of the dead were buried nsterday.Among the dead bodies Interred was the neadless end mutilated remains of the Marquis De Pomba The services were attended by large crowds of people and many distressing scenes were witnessed.Many fragments of bodies found Im the vicinity of the quay were buried in a common grave.The divers who were employed to recover the bodies in the bay have been so appalled at the number of dead and gruesome appearance of the corpses that they have refused to continue their work and have prayed the officials not to insist vpon their carrying out thelr engagements.The authorities have granted their pe- thon and now men in boats with grappling irons are employed in searching for the dead who were blown into tte tay.Bome of the bodies upon a cat sory ezamination show that death was caused by drowning and not by the shock :f the explosion.Santander, Nov.9.\u2014Tt is stated six hundred cases of dynamite yet remain In the wreck of the steamer \u2018Cabo Michi.eco,\u201d the explosion on board of which wrought such fearful destruction to life end property here on Friday last.The prople of the city.particularly those who live near the water front, believe this mport to be true and fearing that another explosion may occur they are shandoning their homes and seeking residences at what they consider a safe distance from the point of danger.Un the other hand it is pointed out that It s scarcely probable that such an immense quantity of dynamite could have wRhstood the tremendous shock to whien I was subjected.Experts claim that the cases are more than Hkely to contain harmless articles of merchandise that has been transformed into dynamite by the fears of the divers who have Men down in what remains of the steamer.It may be, however, that the livers are right In thelr statements and Rat the dynamite cages were protected Som the shock of the explosion by the asses of other freight atowed around m,

=-Mayor McLeod Stewart read a paper \u2018Ottawa as an ocean port.\u2019 He point- «4 out that this district had done its duty by other sections of the country snd it might be said had not always treated fairly In return.The lumber interest alone had contributed twenty millions to the public revepue within a Tecent series of yeara and hitherto the Tilley of the Ottawa had received few favors.It was time they received some rturn for all this moray, and he urged An agitation to secure irom the Clovern- ment and Parliament the deepening and Improving the navigation of the Ottawe ver

known physician, died at haïf-past tour o'clock this afternoon.Bir Andrew Clark was born on Oct.28, 16268, was educated first at Aberdeen, and afterwards at Edinburgh.In the extra Academical Medical School of that city he gained the first medals in anatomy, physiology, chemistry, botany, ma- teria medica.surgery, pathology, and practice of physic.For two years he assisted Dr.Hughes Bennett in the pathological department of the Royal Infirmary, and was demonstrator of anatomy to Dr.Robert Knox in the final course of lectures delivered by that celebrated anatomist.For four years Dr.Clark had charge of the pathological department of the Royal Naval Hospital et Haslar, where he delivered lec- lures on the use of the microscope in practical medicine, In 1856 he teok his degree of M.D.at the University of Aberdeen, mettled in the metropolis.became a member of the Royal Collège of Physicians of London, and was elected on the staff of the London hospital.In 158 Dr.Clark was made a Fellow of the College of Physicia in which he held the offices of Croonian and Lumelian lecturer, councillor, examiner in meds- cine, and censor.He was also Letisom- {an lecturer and president of the Medical Society of London.Dr, Clark originally Intended to devote himself exclusively to the cultivation of pathology: but, turned by the force of creum- stances from the course on which he had entered, he was long nccupled in the work of a practical phyeician.He was the author of numerous essays lectures and reviews, the professional portion of which refers for the most part to disease of the respiratory and digestive organs.He was created a baronet In 1883.At the time of his death he was conbulting physician and lecturer on clinteal medicine to the London Hospital, and consulting physician to the East London Hospital for Diseases of Children.He was an F.R.8, and LL.D.of Cambridge, Edinburgh and Aberdeen (honoris causa), and an honorary Fellow of King and Queen's College of Physicians in Ireland.He has held the offices of president of the Metropolitan Counties branch of the British Medical Association and president of the Clinical Society.In 1888 he was clected president of the Royal College of Physiclans, and re-elected in 138 and 1890.Sir Andrew Clark will be remembered by Canadians as the physician who came out with the Princess Louise and Marquis of Lorne on their first arrival in Canada.Sir Andrew Clark, in addressing his students on one occasion, sald he presumed those present would like to know from him what conditions he thouxht were essential to make a man a successful physician, Here are the opinions he expressed on this point : \u2018Firstly, I believe that every man's success is within himself, and must come out of himself., No true, abiding and just succese can come to any man in any other way.Secondly, a man must be seriously in earnest.He must act with aingleness of heart and purpose ; he must do with all his might and with all his concentration of thought the one thing at the one time which he is called upon to do.And if some of my young friends should say here, \u2018I cannot do that\u2014I cannot love work.\u2019 then I answer that there is a certain remedy, and It is work.Work In spite of yourself, and make the habit of work, and when the hablt of work is formed it will be transfigured into the love of work ; and at last you will not only abhor idleness, but you will have no happiness out of the work which then you are constrained from love to do.Thirdly, the man must be charitable, not censorlous\u2014self-effacing, not seif- seeking ; and he must try at once to think and to do the best for his rivals and antagonists that can be done.Fourthly, the man must believe that labor is life.that successful labor fs lite and gladness, and that successful labor, with high aims and just objects, will bring to him the fullest, truest and happlest life that can be lived upon the earth.\u2019 Such autoblographical facts as ere revealed in an address of this kind by a man whose success enables him to speak with authority, are not only Interesting to readers generally but particularly cheering and encouraging to young men who are starting out in professional and other careers, many of them with a feeling that they are suffering from disadvantages which can hardly be overcome.It a true that the case of Sir Andrew Clark in his youth was not one of poverty, as he tells us that he had a small patrimony ; but he was burdened by & degree of physical weakness which promised an early death, and he entered upon the struggles of professional life in London wholly without the ald of relatives, friends, or even acquaintances, If a man under such circumstances can attain the highest professional rank in the greatest capital in the world, surely no one should be discouraged.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE ALLEGED PLEURO-PNEU- MONIA.Toronto, Nov.T.\u2014The following special cable appears in this morning's \u201cGiobe\u2019 :\u2014London, Nov.6.\u2014A fresh case of disease was discovered among the Canadian cattle on the 88.\u2018Hurona which were slaughtered last week.The lungs were at once forwarded to the Board of Agriculture for examination.The Board's experts declare the disease is precisely similar to that detected In previous cases considered by them to be contagious pleuro-pneumonia.The Canadian authorities, on the other hand, deny that the present case, any more than the previous ones, is contagious pleurc-pneumonia.The discovery, coming towards the close of the season, however, 1s specially unfortunate as it is certain to diminish any chances before existing of regaining free entry for Canadian live stock.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE 'NEW YORK' DEFECTIVE.New York, Nov.9.\u2014The \u2018Times\u2019 says the dix armored cruiser \u2018New York\u2019 has been so badly construcled as to prevent her

AT A RIPE AGE.= SKETUN OF HIS LIFE AND WORK.Boston, Mass, Nov.9.\u2014Francis Parkman, the eminent historian, died at his homa at Jamaica Plains, yesterday of peritonitis, aged M years.Francis Parkman was born in Boston Sept.16, 1833, in a fine old houss of the colonial period, fronting on Bowdoin square, with a grass plot before it, shaded by tall horse-chesinut trees, ana a garden behind Rt full of fruit trees and honest old-fashioned flowers.Like many other eminent Now Englanders, he came of a clerical ancestry.His great-grand- father, by birth a Bostonian, was the first minister of Westborough, Massa chusetts.It is worth mentioning that a son of this clergyman at the age of seventeen, served af private in & Massachusetts regiment during that old French war, as it used to be called, to which his grand nephew has given a deeper meaning, and which he has made allve to us aguin in ail tte vivid pleturesqueness of hardihood and adventure.Another of his sons, returning to Boston, became a ruccessful merchant there, & man of marked character and publie spirit, whose fortune, patiently acquired fo the wise fashion of those days, would have secured for his grandson & Iife of lettered ease hed he not made the nobler choice of spending it In strenuous literary labor.One of this merchant's sons, & clergyman, was our author's father.Whether through deliberate forethought cr unconscious inatinet, Mr.Parkmon entered early into an apprenticeship for what was to be the work of his lite.While yet in coilege, as we are informed by a note in his \u2018Montcalm and Wolfe he followed on foot the trail of Rogers the ltanger in his retreat from Lake Memphremagog to the Connecticut In 1750.In 1848, two years after taking his degree at Harvard, he made an expedition demanding as much courage as endurance, to what was still the Wild West, panetrat- ing as far as the Rocky Mountains, and living for months among the Dakotas, as yet untainted in their savage ways by the pale face.Since Major Jonattan Carver, no cultivated man of English blood has had such opportunities for studying the character and habits of the North American Indians.\u2018The exposures and privations of this journey were too much for even Mr.Parkman's vigorous constitution, and left him a partial cripple for life.As if this were not enough, another calamity befell him in after years\u2014the most dire of all for a scholar\u2014in a disease of the eyes which made the use of them often Impossible and at best precarious.But such was his inward and spiritual energy, that, in spite of these hopeless THE MA.FRANCIS PARREA=.impediments, he has studied on the spot the scenery of all his narratives, and has contrived to sift all the wearisome rubbish heaps of documents, printed or manuscript, publie or private, where he could hope to find a scrap of evidence to his purpose.He entered Harvard College In his 17th year, and received the degree of A.B.in 184, followed a few years later by that of A.M.and more recently, by the honorary degree of LL.D.which he had before received from McGill College of Canada, and Williams College of Massachusetts.Most of his college vacations had been spent among the forests and mountains of Maine, New Hampshire and Canadas.He soon after published In the \u2018Knickerbocker Magasine' an account of his journey.It was republished in 1848 in a volume entitled \u201cThe Oregon Trail He began the execution of his literary project by the publication of \u201cThe Conspiracy of Pontlac,\u2018 in 181.This Was an account of the general uprising of the Indian tribes agalust the British colonies, after the conquest of Canada.Chronologically, it should have been the last, Ins:iead of the first, of his series of histories, or ruther a sequel to them.The subject, however, afforded the best opportunities for the exhibition of In- élan life and character, and a great mars of manuscript material labortously gathered during the last four or five years, was ready to hand.\u2018The Pioneers of France in the New World,\u2019 was published in 1865; \u2018The Jesuits in North America,\u2019 in 1967; \u2018La Salle Discovery of the Great West ; \u2018The Old Regime in Canada,\u2019 in 1874: \u2018Count Frontenac and New France under Louls XIV.\" in 1877; and \u2018Montcalm and Woite, in 1884.Translations of these books have appeared in France and Germany.They form a connected series, In which, however, & gap remains to be filled, between \u2018Count Frontena and \u2018Montcalm and Wolfe.\u2019 The collection of the necessary materials involved an enormous amount of tabor.The chief sources were the archives of France and England, the use of which required repeated visits to those countries.Many documents were also oOb- tained from the collections of societies and private persons on both sides of the Atlantic.Mr.Parkman wes for many years one of the seven members of the corporation of Harvard University.He was vice-president of the Mansachuset Historical Society, corresponding member of the Royal Society of Canada, and @ member of most of the Historical Bo.cleties of Canada and the United States, as wall ns of various learned societies in England and on the Continent WILL BR COUNTESS OF ESSEX.New York, Nov.T\u2014A London special oa; Miss Adelaide Grant, the famous American beauty, and daughter of the late Beach Grant, of New York, announced to the members of her family her engagement to the Karl of Kssex, adding that the marriage will be celebrated at the earliest Jay possible after the necessary legal papers can be drawn, certainly btifore Chrwtmas.The Earl of Essex is a widower, thirty-six years old.He succeeded to the title in Septem- | ber of last year on death of his grandfather, the sixth Jarl.He married on July 12, 18%2, the daughter of a commoner in Gloucestershire, but who died three years afterwards, lemving one child.a son, then not quite two years | old, who is still living, and if he survives his father will, of course, succeed to the title, The friends of the prospective bride say àt is a pure love match, since, thouxh connected with one of the oldest familles in New York, she is by no means rich, efther now or In expectancy, unless she should inherit wealth from her uncle, Buydam Grant of New York, who did have a large fortune but who may have been affected by the recent fallure of the Grant Locomotive works In Chicago.Her mother was a daughter of the Inte General Btewart, and a niece of the late Thomas A.Beote, a former president of the Pennsylvania Railway Company, from both of whom she \u2018nherited a small fortune, and another from her lats husband; but pro- babiy the total was not above $15,000 or $20,140.A MARINE CATASTROPHE.TWO PROPELLERS COLLIDE AND BINK IN LAKE MICHIGAN.NANES OF THE LOST.East Tawas, Mich., Nov.7.\u2014By a colll- sion between the Western Transit Co.'s stecmer \u2018Albany\u2019 and the Anchor Line steamer \u2018Philadelphia\u2019 off Pointe aux Barques, at 2.30 o'clock this morning, twenty-four lives were lost, and both steamers were sunk In two hundred feet of water The dead are: \u2018Albany\u2019~8.B.Muerhad, James Molloy, Thomas Pearce, Job Price, 8, B.Mutrie, Willlam Bturrah, Frank Keltchen, Albert Hohn.From the \u2018Philadelphia'\u2014C.M.Leggett, Jerry Moran, J.Hunt, A.Hanna, W.Gibbs, C.Linquest, C.Rowen, R.Ren- shaw, C.Williams, 8.Coffee, John Paint, C., Labelle, George Reidmaster, George Wiss, A.Conners and one unknown man.\u2018The two boats were running in a hevay fog about seven miles of Pointe sux Barques.They had been going slowly and the watch felt safe when at two o'clock this morning both vess came together without a second\u2019s warn: ing.Almost at once the \u2018Albany began to sink and ali hands were transferred to the \u2018Philadelphia.\u2019 The deserted bast went down with a rush a few minutes after her crew ed to get safely aboard the \u2018Philadelphia\u2019 It was ap] to the officers of the Wadelphia\u2019 that the boat had been sigisualy damaged in the helm, for she began to sink.The two crews launched their bomts and dropped over the side into the wider.Not half an hour after the collision the \u2018Philadelphia\u2019 was at the bottom of the take.The two boats sunk in two hundred feet of water.The | first boat, which contained twenty-four persons, including the captains of both vessels, reached shore after a pull of about five hours.The second boat contained twenty-four members of the crows of both vessels, was lost sight of in the fog.As the morning wore and the second boat falled to make its appearance, the life-saving crew of Polute aux Barques was sent out In seærch of the missing lifeboat.The life-savers fcund it about eight miles from shore bottom upward.Eleven bodies bearing ilfe-preservern were found floating im the vicinity, and ¢hese were picked up and sent to East Tawas, on the \u2018City of Concord.\u201d Not a survivor could be found and it is supposed that the other occupants of the boats wer: drowned at once when it capsized.Nearly all dead and missing men were shipped from Buffalo, The coroner at East Tawas this evening began the Inquest on the remains of the eleven bodles recovered.A PABBING BTEANIR BELIEVED TO HAVE RUX DOWN THE VAWL.East Tawas, Mich, Nov.8\u2014Owing to the mutllation of many of the bodies in the collision between the propellors \u2018Albany\u2019 and \u2018Philadelphia,\u2019 yesterday, it is now believed that the yaw] containing twenty-four members of the combined crews was run into by some passing steamer.The coroner's jury met this morning and examined the bodies for purposes of fdentification of the men picked up.The following have been identified by papers: D.Reid meister, Toledo, O.; James Malloy, Buf- fale, N.Y: R.Rinolds, or Petty, El- mira, N.Charles Labelle, Buffalo, N.Y.; John Pridgeon, Detroit, or Bay

New and astonishing discoveries are made dally, and at almost every moment the genius of man draws out from nature this or that secret which had till then been kept with jealous care.Medicine (un particular has been immensely benefited by the profound studies which have led to eo many discoveries In the special domain aliotted to this science.During the past two years the columns of this paper have given the details of many satonishing cutes in wari.ous parts of ti Dormialon, and now the opportunity presents stself to amply verify the good accomplished by this medicine by giving the particulars of two cvres lr.the family of à gentleman well known in Montreal.Accordingly a reporter of \u2018La Patrie\u2019 called at No.18 Cherrier nireet, the residence of Mr.C.H.A.Guimond.This gentleman did not conceal the fact that his wife and daughter have heen restorsd to health by the use of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pllls.Mr, C.H.A.Guimond, whose banking house ir ut 1162 Ontario street, In a well known man in the city, where for a number of years he has conducted a most flourishing business.No one can question the evidence of a gentieman whose integrity and honesty of purpose have been eatablished sinee .nany years.Mr, Guimond welcomed the reporter most courteously, and when informed of tha object cf his visit, !ntroduced him to Mrs.Guimond, who received him with no less kindness.Mry.Guimond then stated that for a number of years she had been a complete \u2018nvalld, a sufferer from dyspepsia, weakness and general debility.She had tried many :medicines in vain, while her pallid eom- plexion and extreme smaclation more than indicated the bad state of her health.She had been impressed by reading the marvellous cures accomplished by the use of Dr.Williams Pink Pills, and one day resolved to give them a trial without saying anything about it to her husband or friends.Bhe acoord- ir.gly purchased a few boxes from Mr.Laporte, druggist, and after using them for & short time bsgan to experience the beneficial cffects of this great medi- HIS - cine.It was in April last that Mrs.Guimond began taking Pink Pills snd three months after commencing their use she was completely restored to health.Her appetite in good, food now easily digested, complexion restored, ths tired feeling with which she had been previously distressed has Alsappeared and her strength fully restored.Mr.Guimond could not coacesl his delight at the result, and as Pink Pills had produced such marvellous results in the esse of his wife he decided upon giving them to his daughter Alma, aged fifteen, whose face was covered with pimples, and whore appetite and digestion were greatly impaired.Here again success was rot long in making its appearance.Within à few weeks the young girl had recovered her appetite, the pimples had disappeared from her face, her complexion was more rosy, and the pale sunken cheeks were now as round and fresh an healthy youth can be.\u201cThere fore,\u2019 sald Mr.Guimond to the reperter, \u2018we cannot recommend highly enough Dr.Willlama® Pink Pills, and we stroagly advise all our friends te make use of them.\u2019 \u2018Some time age\u2019 sald Mrs.Guimond, T was travelling with a lady friend whose health was very delicate, and 1 polated out to her ray box of Pink Pilis, and sald, this is what you should take.My advice was followed and this lady came to see me some time afterward to thank me for pointing out the remedy as her health was almost fully restored.As for myself,\u2019 she continued, \u2018I would not be a tingle day without Dr.Williams\u2019 Plak Plils In the house.\u2019 Mr.and Mrs.Guimond are both endowed with superior Iintsliigence and though far from seeking notoriety, are happy to give frank and sincere testimony In favor of Pink Plils, with a view 10 benefiting some other sufferer.Later the reporter called on Mr.Laporte.druggist, who has a nice stand at 119 Ontario street, one of the most frequented districts of the East End.Mr.Laporte sald he was familiar with the facts re- Iating to Doth mother and daughter as the Pink Pills had deen purchased at his place of business.He added that he had never had a remedy whose sale was «0 large.or that gave more general entis- faction.In fact, he believed that te the satisfaction they give is due their immense popularity and widespread sale.Dr.Willams\u2019 Pink Pills have a remarkable efficacy ir curing diseases arisirg from an impoverished condition of the blood.or an impairment of the nervous system, such as rheumatism, neuraïgia, partis! paralysis, iccometer ataxia, St.Vitus\u2019 dance, nervous hend- ache.nervous prostration and the tired feeling therefrom.the after effects of Is grippe.influensa and severe colds, diseases depending upon humors in the
