Last\u2014He Died as Be Lived Respected by His Fellow Couatrymen, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.ToroxTo, April 17.\u2014 After a protracted illness of many weeks duration Hon.Alexander Mackenzie, M.P.for East York and ex-Premier of the Domircion of Canada, died at his residerce St.Alban: = street between 12 and 1 o\u2019clock this morning.The venerable stateman had been in very feeble health nearly al! thraugh the winter, the result of a fall whica he sustained early in February though it was not until abou\u2019 six weaka ago that his condition became very serious.During those six weeks a desperate con~ test between life and death was sussained with wonderful vitality and it was marvellous that it was deferred go long.Only constitution of iron preserved by life of regularity could, have given to any man such tenacity of life.From the beginning of the last long illness the condition of the illustrious patient was practically hopsless, for while at times there was slight rally, improvement was never at any time sufficient fo warrant hope of permanent recovery.Dr.Thorburn, for many years friend and medical attendant of the late Premier, with unremitting attention used every device known to scisnce to ward off the impending blow, but a few days ago he was compelled to announce that the end was fast approaching, and the family were fully prepared when death at length called.Mr.Mackenzie's devoted wife and Chas.Mckenzie, M.P, P,, for West Lamb- ton, deceased leader's brother, were cone stantly at his bedside and with him at the moment of dissolution, as were also Rev.Dr.Thompson and wife, son-in-law and dangh'er of the deceasad of Sarnia.Mr.McKenzie practically took no nourish ment for some days past and was only at times partly conscious being however, comparatively free from pain, His Last Political Utterance.By the death of Hon, Alex, MacKenzle à vacancy is created in the representation of East York in the Dominion Commons.His sickness prevented his attendance at O tawa at all this session, and even last session fsebleness which was gradually overtaking him preve:ted regular attention to his parliameutary duties, which up to that time had been a striking characterietic of bis po'itical career.It is cf interest to remember at this timethe occasion of his last r.corded utterance in the National Council Halle.It occurred during the passing of the estimates and the item was under consideration for the payment of Mr, Fabre, Canadian Immigratton Agent in France.A government supporler remarked that Mr.Fabre was appointed by Mr.Mackenzies Government to which the ex-Premier at once replied: \u201cI repent it.\u201d These were the last words he spoke in tha.chamber.The Jeceased gentleman led a busy life and to the last day that physical sirength permitted, he was actively engaged in many duties de- randing bis personal attention.As president of the North American Lite Insurance Company he was in daily attendance at office directing «nd guiding its operations and h:re his marvellous memory, one of the striking traits of h's many sided character was of inest.mable value and his loes is irreparable, The Funeral Arrangements.Funeral arrangements are announced as follows : On Wednesday the body will be conveyed from the residence to Jarv's-street Baptist Church, where services will be held after which the coriege will proceed to Union Station from whence the remains will be conveyed to Sarnia arriving about 2 p.m.On Thursday servicesin Sarnia will commence at 2.50 p m., when the interment will take\" place in family lot in Lake View cemetery.The death, although so long expected, was not generally known throughout, the city to-day, aud consequently pulpit references were few.At Kt.Andrew\u2019, Rev.D.J.McDonnell spoke at length on the blameless life and noble record of the deceased statesman, and Rev: G.M.Mil- ligan made touching allusion to the event in the course of hig morning prayer.Mr.Mackenzie wes a Baptist in religion and a member of Jarvis Street Baptist Church, thouzh he had neces- Sarily been unable to attend of late.v.Dr.Thomas, pastor of the church, made lengthened reterence to the death of the deceased ex-Premier at the close of the morning sermon.At His Old Home, EPECIAL TO THE HERALD, SARNIA, April 17\u2014The death of Hon.Alexander MacKerzie has caused pro- | qu) | A I \\ fo fh 2 N SL A

public man, | DOWN BY THE SEA, The St.John Telegraph on the Many Eminent Qualities of the Deceased.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, St.Jory, N.B., April 17.\u2014~The Telegraph will say to-morrow of the late Mr.Mackenzie: \u201c The builder, who in early life chose to work in solid granite, hews with patient labor and skill into beautiful and enduring forms cet before him a like ideal for the nationai structura.He had a hatred of shams, ¢f daubing with uct mpered mortar.He felt that Canada could only grow and endure in proportion as her fonudation stones were well and truly laid in justice and equity, broad based upon the peonle\u2019s will, the superstructure fitly joined and cemented by the love and reverence of citizens for their common country.Loyal to England he always was in every worthy sense, and yet as truly Canadian 28 the most devoted of these bern upon the soil.There was not within the bounds of the dominion a public or private man, who new more either of its resourses or requirements than he.Above all he was a man of integrity,one who stood up for truth and honesty.Where moral principles were at stake he stood as firm and unylelding as the granite of his native hills.He refused knighthood, declining to wear any hosors but such as were confered by the people with whom he lived and for whom be wore out his life in ardasus political toil.He had this reward in life that the people honored and venerated him and his political opponents were compelled to accord him respect above that given to their own chosen leaders; He leaves an unsullied name, a noble record, and the verdict of history will be that as a statesman, be has had few equals in Canada while in true patriotism and ho est worth he has enriched Canadian annals and left a shining example for the years to come, His death is a national\u2019 loss whica can only be partly retrieved by applying in our national affairs the lessons taught by his lips.SERVED HIS COUNTRY, Two Distinctive Features in the Life of the Dead Statesman.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Toronto, April 17.\u2014Referring to the late Hon.Alex, Mackenzie, The Mail wiil say editorially that by his death Canada loses a statesman of whom it may truthfully be said that he served his country to the best of his abilities, and received for hig labors, a8 is the case with too many good men, an altogether inadequate remedy.The career of the ex-Premier illustrates two d stinct features of Canadian public life.In the first place like his contemporary and antagonist, the late Sir John A.Macdonald, Le rose to the highest position in the State although his struggle upward wes unassisted either by wealth or by such prestige as comes from exalted birth.He was a poor and unknown man when he reached this ¢ untry.Friendless, he followed bis calilng as a stone-cutter,gradua ly rising, however, in influence and esteem until he found himself the leader of the Government.The attainment of the position of honor and authority 1n which he did his best work, must have unquestionably been ihe result of superior talents wisely and energetically employed, Mr.MacKeczie certainly spent many years, labiorously and'earnestly, in equipping himself for the command of men and the Government of the country.His example points to the corclusion that, in Canada at least tumble origin need not be, to bim who has the laudable ambition to rise among his fellow citizens a, bar to progress.\u201d The article next refers to his poor circumstances in his old age and says while not advocating the granting cf pensions if 18 obvious that there is an element ot injustice in the system we pursue under which men who serve in the lower 8pheres are properly cared for while those who figure more prominently and are overtaken by disabilities resulting as Mr.Mackenzie\u2019s did trom overwork as a public man are altogether disregarded.\u201d Summing up his character the article says: \u2018His independence is indeed a characteristic of the nationality from which ne sprung.As aScotchman, however, he had other qualities which influenced his career materially, He was tenacious, cautious, industrious and honest.Brilliancy and smartness formed no part of bis chrracter, but he possessed instead the application and mental strength necessary to the management of men and tue conduct of pub ic affairs.\u201d The article concludes: \u201c Sir John Macdonald and Mr.Mackenzie presented in their ideas an exactantithesis.The one was Imperial and Disraelian, the other Democratic and Gladet: nian.Had Mr.Mackenzie desired it h: could have been Sir Alexander long ago, but be had a distaste for titl's and distinc- tious, and declined with George Brown the ribbon he might have worn.Ag plain Mr.Mackenzie, however, he wasnone tha less respected and the country will long honor his memory as t at of a man whoruled it conscienti us y and gave to it of his best.In addition to the edit rial The Mail published a very long life of t:e dead Premier.THE EMPIRE'S EDITORIAL, A Conservative Tribute to the Memory of the Once Libera] Chief, Toronro, April 17\u2014The Empire will say editorially: \u201c During tue recent years cf his silent political servica, and the week\u2019s of his fatal illness, the minds of men have turned sympathetically to the career and character of the old statesman, and the verdict has been almost unanimous that in Alexander Mackenzie the qualities of steaifast devotion to principle, of shrewd judgment and practical sense of vigorous mental power, of sturdy national pride, were strongly and happily united.If Mr.Mackenzie had pissed away when he was the central figure in a keen political conflict, it might have heen hard for many to do him the justice wuich he deserved, but the sad and weary years of his later life have softened asperities and dwsociated him from the fierse contests of the last period.Oa one or two of the really great issues which have arisen since his retirement, Le took a gilevt, though, naturally, a significant stand which heightened the respect of a majorit; of his countrymen for Lis judgm+nt and his patriotism, ani thus 1t comes about that to-day not a jarring note will be heard in the chorus of kindly tributes to his name and fame that will arise all over Canada.One fe.turs of his career is particularly grateful to the Democratic and practical people who inhabit this country and who can always be depended on to admire and resject a man, who, from Lawmble begining, by diatof perseverance, self-help and homesty of purpose, educated and raised hims:If to the highest pesition in the laud, and who discharges 118 onerous duties with diligence and capacity.It fell to Mackenzie's lot to administer the affairs of the country at a peculiarly trying time and no matter what criticism were levelled at the policy of his associates and himself, it was never denied that he was personally a slave to duty, and in the discharge of his public obligation gave his heart and mind to ths tasks that fell upon him.It is not easy now to refer to those days.This is not the time to discuss the issues which were gettled by the momentous eleciion of 1878.We refer to remember Mr.Mackenzie in these later years when he loyally stood by his party, even at inconvenience to himself, and showed that he could as faithfully and unselfishly serve them in defeat ag he could lead them in the days of victory, We prefer to remember that when unhappy rebeilion broke out in the land, Mr.Mackenzie stood firm as became a man of worth and loyalty for the camse of law and order, and how, even in the most recent discussions, when physicel - ly far from well, his strong and active mind grasped the bardest political pro- lems and took a souuder, shrewder view of Canadian interests than many younger, bolder, but less sagacious men, He has not b:en long in following to the grave his great antagonist, Sir John Macdonald, who, if he had been living, would, we may be sure, have thrown all narrow partisanship to the winds and paid, a8 we may well do now, a trihute | kerz \u20184 Was a good example of the result 3 CENTS.86 PER YEAR.of respect to the memory of one who ear\u2018estly and faithfully, ar d to the best of his abilities, filled a great office and discharged a great trust.A NATIONAL CALAMITY, Canad i Has Reason to Wish for Another Administration Like Mackenzie's, SPECIAL TO ThE HERALD.Toroxro, April 17.-The Globe wiil 8:y to-morrow that Hon, A'ex.Mac- ofa kind of training that makes for sturdy independence.From the age of 14 he had to ficht the battle of lifes unaided.He had no following, could command no \u201cvote,\u201d wes backed by no great interest.He worked hig way into the front rank of Canadian Statesmen by sheer forcs cf talent, nnwearying Indus\u2018ry and stainless honesty.When he bad gained that high place he did not escape the shatis of elander and abuse which like the shafts cf death love a shining mark.But the Voice cf Calumny hg Jong been pilent and the | sober judgment and conscience of the country now declare that he gave to Canada five years of ex- ! ceptionally pure and honest government.His wasa s nul r'y unpretentious ad- m'n':t'atior, and its economy and quiet atiective work made it stand out in strong contrast with the noisy and ex-.travarant regime which followed it.Referring to his refusal to compromise with protection it will say: \u2018It would have been easy for Mr.Mackenzie and his colleagues to have cut the ground from under their opponents\u2019 fzet by szc- rificing their priociples and then refusal to 80, however opportunists may regard it, will always stand to their credit, It is also greatly to Mr.Mackenzie's honor that he made no aitempt to entrench himself in power bv any of chose unfair means which bave been 60 fr.ely used in the last 13 years.He laid his principles and the record of his work before the people, and allowed them freely to pronouce judgment.The judgment was adverse but the loss was pot Mr.Mackenzie's but the country\u2019s.Harried by excessive taxation, burdened with debt, their morey wasted in wild and extravagant schemes, their great resources lying almost idle and undeveloped, tte air filied with scandal, the paople have every bour cause to look back upon the five years of honest and rati nal government which they enjoyed under Mr, Mackenzie.A HALIFAX TRIBUTE, He gave Canada the only Five Years of Cleau Administration.Hy arax, April 17.The Halifax Chron- icie will say : ** His death removes from the political arena one ot natures noble- meu, aself made man, a statesman and a patriot in every sense of the word, a politician erdowed with noble aims and impulees and withal possessed of incor- raptible integrity.;He gave Canada the only five years of clean admiuistration she has hao since the consummation of Confederation.\u201d The articles refers to the villainous abus» heaped by the Tories on Mr.Mackenzie while he was Premier of Canada and expresses the opinion that even his political opporents will gladly admit that he was an honest man.The article corcludes : \u201cHis example and the lessons of his public life should imprees upon the young men of Canada the all important fa.t that true gacatnees is inseparable fr.m honesty of purpr se n.bili y of aim aud faithful alherence to ccrrect princip'es of

relation of life, for the great services he rendered to Cenada, and for the beneficent ex- aniple he set of unswerving honesty and uvimpeachable Integrity in political life.\u201d AT THE CAPITAL.General Feellng of Sorrow and Sympathy at Mr, Mackenxie\u2019s Death.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Orrawa, April 19.\u2014The news of the death of the Hon.Alexander Mackenzie reacted here in the grey dawn and was first annoucced to the city at large by the flying of the Russell House flag at half-mast.Th- flag on the Parliament tower was not hoisted till nearly one in the afternoon.B:ing Sunday and the House not in session very few members were about and there was no noticeable effect produced by the announcement.There was a general feeling of sorrow and sympat 'y, bus since the stirring de- hates on the Jesuit estates in 1889 he has taken little active part In poiitics, and hence no difficuities meet the party.It is probable that the House will adjourn for the day of the funeral.THE NEWS IN THE CITY.Mackenzie by Public Men.Although Mr.Mackenzie\u2019s death occurred af an early hour in the morning, it was not until quite late in the afternoon that the ne «s spread in Montreal.In tront of The Herald office a bulletin announced the end of the great statesman and crowds of people surrounded it and talked of the many virtues of the deceased.Several of the city ministers referred ta the sad occurrence, and when once the services were over the telegraph and newspaper offices were kept busy with enquiries for particulars.It 18 safe to say that very seldom has the death been recorded of a Canadian which bas brought forth such universal expressions of sorrow.Many business men have given instructiors to have the flags on their buildings raised to the half mast this morpiag.Hon.Peter Mitchell was first told the sad news by a Herald reporter, and was much affected.Although Mr.Mackenzie's death had been expected almost ily for some weeks past, the blow when 1t fell was just as severe as if it bad come suddenly, Mr.Mitchell had nothing but praisa for his old p li:ical opponent.\u2018He was,\u201d said the ex- Minister of Marine and Fisheries, \u201cas bonest à man as ever took par in public lite.His principles were sometimes, I think, too strict for the vicissitudes of par y politics, yet in all he did he was gu'ded alone by the desire to do the best tLat in him lay for Canada, his adopted couatry; which he loved as well as any ative of the soil.\u201d = Mr.A.F.McIntyre, Q.C, of Ottawa, who was once a Liberal candidate at the Capital, arrived at the Windsor yesterday afternoon.He told the Herald that the sad news was known in Ottawa early Tributes to Mr.in the day, and that fags were hoisted at \u2018alf mast or: the public buildings.\u201cMr.Mackenzie's death is a greatloss to the Liberal party,\u201d said Mr.McIntyre, \u201cbut not 8o great as it would have been some years ago, before his mental energies became impair-d.Throughout his life he was a keen-witted, level-headed Scotchman, characteristics which he maintained to the last.He and 8ir John Macdonald had many characteristics in common.Beth were Highland Scotchmen, and possessed many of the traits which give their couatrymen so many prominent positions in this country.Anyone who had seen the two a couple of years since wou'd have said that Sir Jotn would have long outlived his old- time rival, yet it proved to be the contrary, It is curious how much the death- struggles of those two great men were on a par.Both were given up fur days before the final summous cams, and both exhibited wonderful vitality.Alexander Mackenzie wes the purest s'atesnan Canada ever hed, too pure, izdeed, to be appreciated by the country.His memory will long be cherishsu by the na:ion he served so well.\u201d HIS LIFE AND LABOR.A Sketch of the Career of the Dead Statesman.About the end of the year 1542 three young men resided in the city of Kingston who were dostined to act prominent parts in the public lifs of Canada.One of he three was a rising young lawyer of pleasing address and popular manners; who had won distinction by his defence of Von Schulz and other state pris\u201dners counected with the troubles of 1837.The second had been a student in the office of this yonng lawyer and was in tuls year\u20141842\u2014calied to the bar.The third was a Scottish youth of 20, who had landed in Kingston in April, and was beginning his Canadian life as astonemason.The young lawyer was tue Right Hon.Sir John A, Macdonald, now deceased, His student is now the Her, Oliver Mowat, Premier of Oatario.The youthful stonemason was the veteran statasman who has now gone to his long rest.His was a nme respected and honored by every clean man in the Dominion of Canada.Mr.Mackenzie was born on the 28th January, 1822, and was two years younger than the Hon.Oliver Mowat, and seven years younger than his late rival, Sir John A.Macdonald.He was born in the parish of Logierait, Perth.shire, Scotland.His parents had neither poverty nor riches, but they and their connections had what was better tban either ; they had brain power, inteli- gance, untiring industry, sterling integrity, and an honorable ambition to rise in tte world, Along with these good qualities they had a strong liking for Whig politics.Alexander was the third son in a large family.His schooldays were few, Two years in a private school in Perth ; two more in the parish school of Moulin less than a year in the grammar school of Dunkeld, and the education of the future Premier vf Canada was finished so far as the schoclmaster was concerned.At the early age of fourteen his father died, and like many another brave Scotch lad who has made his mark in the world, young Mackenzie began to earn his bread on the old Eden principle \u2014by the sweat of hig brow.Like Hugh Miller, he l\u2019arned the trade of stonemason, acd lixe Hugh Miller, he was fond of reading.His spare hours were spent 1n diligent study, and the habits then formed clung to him all his days.WLen twitied with being a bookworm, Thos.D\u2019Arcy McGee replied that he always preferred the society of good books to that of middling men.No doubt Mr.Mackenzie had ALWAYS CHERISHED THE SAME PREFERENCE, though perhaps he bas never said anything about 1t.A worthy member of the House «f Commons, whose reading days were over, felt lonesome in the same boarding-house with Mr.Mackenzie and David Mills, because, as he explained it, \u201cthe moment Mackenzie and Mills came in from the House, they sat down to their books.\u201d In tte following year, 1843, Mr.Mac- Kenzie was joined in Kingston by his brother, Hope F.MacKenzis, who afterward represented Lambton and North Oxford in Par iament.Hope MacKenzie was a man of fine sp'r.t, great energy, and high attainments.He was rising rapidly as a public man whea his career wag suddenly ended by d-ath.Had his life been spared, his ability, industry, and natural force of character would goon have placed him in the front rank of Canadian statesmen.After laboring five years in Kingston, during which time he probably became familiar with the well-known force of the man he afterwards so often faced in Parliament, Mr, MacKenzie moved to the neighborhood of Sarnla His mother aud brothers came out from Scotland ab» ut the same time, and the whole family made their first Canadian boae in that Western town.Here Mr.MacKenzie resumed operations as a builuer and contractor lines in which he had been successful before leaving Kingat-n, It is useless to epeculate on what might have been; but had Alexander MacKenzie continued in the building and contracting business, be might perhaps have become the millionaire head of the syndicale that built the Canadian Pacific Railway.In a country where there was so much to be built, almost anything was possible to a man of his patient industry, economical habits, sterling integrity, sound judgment, and all but invincible energy.But Alexander McKenzie was not to be a millionaire contrac or.Like many Scotchmen, he had a keen relisa for politics.Five years residance in S'r John's favorite city probably increased his eagerness to join in the fray.In Scotland he bad b.en a Whig, aad in Canada HE JOINED THE LIBERAL PARTY as a matter of course.Though a man of quiet, retiring habits, it was no secret that Alexander McKeczie keenly enjoyed debate.To measure swords on the platform with a foeman worthy of his stesi was never to him an unpleasant duty.The roar around the hustings never made him nervous.tural liking for public discussion snl his intensely strong convictions, his love of Liberalism, his popular sympathies, his intense hatred of tyranny in all its forms, his love for the people and de- gire that they should have fair play\u2014to these qualities and his undoubted capacity for public affairs, and one can easily see why it was impossible for Alexander McKenzie to keep oit of litics.PKeep out of politics he certainly 1d Contin1ed on Page Eight, To his na- THE COMING TRIAL The MoGreevy-Connolly Case Likely to be a Memorable One in Our History.EVERYTHING IS NOW READY The

April 17,,~The remains of ths late H.L.Robinson, Esq., one of Walterloo\u2019s most useful and prominent citizens, were laid to rest yesterday, many hundreds joining in the last tribune of respect to his memory.The funeral at St.Luke\u2019s Church was conducted by Venerable Archdeacon Lind say, assisted by Rev.Canon Robinson, Rev.Rural Dean Longhurst and Rev.J.W.Garland.There were nc pall-baareræ and no Masonic ceremony, it baving been the express wish of the deceased that his funeral should be as simple: and uncsteotations as possible.There was a good turnout of Masons, however, and they walked in procession, each wearing a sprig of evergreen, which was reverently dropped into the grave at the conclusion of the: barial service.The Grand Lodge was officially represented by R.W, Bro, S.Lebourvean deputy grand master.It is no empty phrase to say that the late: lamented Mr.Robinson was universally esteemed.He numbered his friends; inthe United States as well as Canada, by the thousand, The high offices he held at various times in the church, the masonic fraternity and the public life of his native town were uosought, but nevertheless he never occupied a public position the duties of which he failed to discharge with integrity and ability.His long commercial career was a model of fair and honorable dealing.In his private life and social relations he was a most charming man.Taking him all in all be was eminently a good man, and as useful ag he was good.The people of Waterloo, with whom his lot was most intimately cast, will keep his memory grean for long years to

Wind- bam Cuuu y, Vermont, and bis granc- fatuer, Lemuel St-vens at Petersham, Worchester Couuty, Mass.The tamily moved into Canada soon after the close of the straggle f.r independence of the colonies, they being strong adherents of the British Crown.His mother came trom Bruokfield, Vt.His father, Gardner Btevens, was one of the early settlers in Brompton, and was in his day ao 1n- dastrious, well-to-do farmer ana a : ro- minent citizen, The subject of this sketch received the ordinary education of far vers\u2019 sons in this locality 60 years ago; aided hig father in cul:ivating the soil until of age; then took charge of a farm, mill and store at, Waterville, County of Compton, and was thus employed for 10 years, when in March 1851, he became agent for theBritish-American Loan Company, taking up his residence at Waterloo, and be afterwards devoted his attention almost entirely to that agency.Except four years spsnt at Roxton Falls he resided there hen.eforth, holding various positisns of trust and honor, both at Roxton and Waterloo.While at the former place he was mum- eipal councillor and mayor of the town.At Waterloo be has been justice of the peace for a lorg period; bas been councillor.maycr of the township from 1870 to 1875, inclusive and warden of the epunty.While warden he was ex-officio a director of the South Eastern Railway, He was a director, and at the time of his death, was president of the Stanstead Shefford and Chambly Railway, and vice-president of the East:rn Townshirs Bank, of which company be was the first treasurer, He was one of those enterprising men who liked to have a hand in any movement calculated to benefit the county, its material interects, or for the improvement of the people.From February 19, 1876, he represented the con stituency o.Bedford,in the Senate.tak\u2014~ ing the place of Hon.Asa.B.Foster, who resigned that year.In 1847, Senator Stevens married Relief Jane, daughter of Sidney Spafford, of Compton, and has issue five children\u2014 three sons and two daugbters.The family atiend the Methodist Chureh It was during the first term of Senator Stevens\u2019 service in the mayor's chair that Prince Arthur visited Waterloo, June 13, 1870.and he had the honor oz presenting an address to His Royal Highness.A prominent writer has sald of him: \u201c\u201c Mr.S'evens is emphaticallv a self- made man and like all men of his class, his perceptive faculties, sharpened by cu tivation, made him keenly cogniza.t of whatever affects his own intere-ts, or anything commit'ed to his trust.A man of extensive reading and retentive memory, with ready powsrs of conversation, he is eminently qualified to amuse or instruct.Accus-omed to habits of industry be appreciates this quality in others and while he is ever ready to assist the Young man who is bravely fighting the battle of life, he has no sympathy for one who shrinks from hardships, or who, with everything in his favor makes shipwreck of his possessions.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE TOWN>HLes CENTENNIAL, Probability That the Proposed Affair Will Not Materialize.Judging from the remarks on the subject in last week\u2019s Sherbrooke Gazette, the Eastern lownships\u2019 Centennial Celebration is likely ro simmer down to 8 puraly local affair.A meeting of the Central Committes was held in Sherbrooke last week, when it was decided, after considerable discussion, to ignore the elaborate program that had previous- been suggested, and make the affair one in which Sherbrooke would practically do the honors, bear the expense, and reap the probts.The bistorical work, which was to have been published under the editorial management of Mr.W.E, Jones, has been abandoned, and the marble monnment tbat was to keep tie event green in the memory of future generations is likely to meet with a Similar fate.It is quite evident that the outiying municipalities were not responding to the calls of the Central Committee to a very encouraging degree, and no doubt our Sherbrooke friends are taking the only course left them in order to prevent an entire failure of the scheme.It is to be regretted that tre plan as originally an- Bounced could not have been carried out but that could hardly be sible at this late hour, and no doubt Snerbrooke will arrange a demonstration that will be a credit to the city aud to the event that it is intended to commemorate.The followinz named gentiemen were appointed a committee to prepare a program, and to solicit subscriptions :\u2014 Major Wood, Mr.Bourque, Judge Rioux, E.R.Johnson, W.Murray, E.B Worth- ington, Judge Fuster, W.E.Jones, and the presidents of all tbe National and Benevolent Societies in Sher:rooke.The Gazatte ad¢s:\u2014* No great outlay ig necessary, and what there is the city ought to provide.A fete or picnic in Snerbrooke on the lst of July will attract à great number of visitors here.S.eeches can be made, for, whatever else we may be short of, we can always find talkers.Bome amusements should be provided, aud when once enthusissm is excited a monument or some lasting commemoration would naturally follow from the day\u2019s proceedings.\u201d \u2014Bedford Times.een MB3.SHIELDS\u2019 DEATH, Death Came After Her Return to Quebec From a Visit to Montreal, Queerc, April 16,\u2014Mrs.Michael Shields died lest night at 8

Easier holidays has tended to restrict operations during the week both here and in London.So also has the uncertainty respecti.g Richmond lerminal affairs.As soon as these hindrances are out of the way, we look for an active and improving market.The market has been subject-d to a fair test of 1ts strength during the last faw weeks of reaction, the \u2018\u2019bsars\u201d having had a free fling at it and the outside public having almost forsaken it; and yet it has throughout abowed a force of resistance which demonstratse that it has a solid bottom.This strength is the more remarkable considering che very large amount of securities that ha: been steadily flowing In upon us from Eur pe, amounting to prot-ably c.usiderably over one hundred millions in valae, within the last twelve mcnths; and also considering the disappointment of the common expectation that our large crops would bring us correspondingly large imports of gold.The forces that have been employed to break the market have manifestly exhausted their vatality, and affairs have reached a posi\u2018ion in which a recovery in prices seem to ba natur- aly in order.he defeat of free coinage of jsilver and the probability that in the future silver wiil either bs protected under an international cvmpact, or will bs rendered innocuous by reducing or stopping its coinage 1n the anseuce of such an agree- meat is tecoming more and more regarded ss of the first importance ss a factor in the future value of investments, There can be no doubt that, of the large amount of our securities returned from Europe, a very considerable part was sent as the result ¢f apprehension that they might become payable in depreciated silver and from a fear that the prosperity of the United States might be seriously retarded by the threatened insane policy of uncouoditional free coinage, Now, that Europa sees a reasonable assurance that this danger has been averted, it 18 reagonatle to expect a return of the demand for our investments which has been withheld for twelve or elghteen morths.Since the Baring commotion, the creation of home enterprises in Great Britain and Germany bas aimost ceased, and it is therefore to be expected that in both countries there will be a disposition to put the current e rulngs of the people into the issues of other countries.Already such a tendency is very apparent, in tue case of England, in ter recent steady purchases of stocks and bonds at this centre, We are now through with the usual transfers of cash for effecting the April settlements, and tne money market hag settled into a condition of ease that is not likely to be disturbed until next August.Also, there are reasons for supposing that tie ease may continue well loto or through the fall months; for, at all the financial centres of the country, the accumulation of money ia the ba: ks 13 unusually large, while ine coinage of silver keeps up a cons'antly increasing inflation of the currency, and the low- Ness of prices reduces the requirements formoney.At the same time, the rail- Toad interest is getting into a more con- Solidated and barmonivus condition, its weak spots are being repaired\u2014though 1D some cases with \u201cunte-upered mortar\u201d and its reyenues are steadily increasing.Tt ia circumstances sucy as these that encourage the speculat ve spirit and stimulate the buying of s-curities for the emporary employmnnt of ille funds; and we look for the effects of these factors from this time forward through the summer months, in a rise of prices in good securities generally.lt Would geem likely that the condition of Children Cry for Market very dull, the European money markets may also foster a renewal of speculation, The amount of specie in the six great national banks averages 8 psr cent, above the amount held & year ago, and the rate for money in the open market at London is 1 to 1} per cent, at Berlin and Paris 14 per cent, and at Fraakfort 14 par cent.These facts forecast some sort of effort to find employment for money, even though it be nothing more than \u201cswapping pennies.\u201d In view of the forementioned considerations, we regard the present situation as favorable to the buying of good active stocks.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 PRIME\u2019S REPORT ON THE CROPS.Cold Weather aud Rain Delay Spring Sowing.Dwicar, 111, April 15.\u20148, V.K.Prime\u2019s Crop report says : \u201cA general absence of suunhine, the low degree of temperatura, avd the excess of moisture have all worked agaiust spring seeding and the general growth of vegetation this week.*In North Dakota little re:ding has been done yet; the ground is wet and the wea her unsettled.A large area of Spring plowiug is to be done, and the excessive moisture, of course, is delay- mg plowing to a great extent.Farmers will not sow wheat as lata as last year.\u201cIn South Dakota from one-half to three-fourths of the spring wheat 18 sown, The ground, however, is wet and cold, and 1t will probably take ali this month to finish seeding small grain on account of the continued rain, \u201cIn Northern Minnesota little spring wheat has been seeded.The season is fully two weeks later than last year.In Southern Minnesota about 25 per cent of the crop has been sown.The ground has been wet aod the late freezing weather has more or less retarded spring seeding.Farmesrs are generally late with their work- Tak!ng the State as a whole, the ground is in good szape for the reception of the seed.Plenty ot moisture is considered as an offset to the lateness of the season.\u201cSo tar in W:econsin there has been little wheat sown.The grouud Is in good condition for the reception of the seed.\u201cTennessee reports that the general opiniun now is the crop of winter wheat will be from two-thirds to three-fourths as much as last year.\u2018The crop has shown a decided improvement in tke last three weeks.All the wheat is thin on the ground and about two-thirds of a stand.ihe average height is from 10 to 12 inches.\u201cIn Kentucky the general appearance and condition favor a fair, average crop, but not as large as that of last season.Some fields ars thin on the ground.This is particularly the case with the late sown wheat.Owing to the lateness of the season, few oats have been sowr.\u201cIn Northern Ohio the general indications for tue winter wheat are fair, The crop will probably not exceed 75 per cent.of that of 1591.The hard, freezing weather retarded the growth of ih- wheat gr-atly.The late wheat is thin on the ground.The wheat is not over4 or 6 inches high.Few oats have been sown, and li.tle plowing has been done for core.In Central Olio wkeat has improved corsiderably during the last ten days.The early wheat is good.The late wheat is short and thin on the ground, and the best of it not over 6 inches bigb.In Southern Ohio the late- sown wheat is from 4 to 6 inches high.1t looks now as 1f considerable of this wheat, which it was thought woula bave to be plowed up ten days ago, has come out and is now looking fairly well.\u201cIn Central Indiana the indications for the winter wheat crop are fair.The late wheat is thin and on clay lands spotted.In Southern Indiana the late wheat is coming out well, and the gan- eral prospects ot the crop have improved.There has been no material change in the general condition of the wint-r wheat crop in Michigan, \u201c In Southern Illinois, 1n some counties of this impoatant winter wheat area, there has beau a decided improvement in the crop during the last two or tarre weeks.ln other portions of this section the wbeat will not make so large a crop agin 1891.In Central Illinois generally the late wheat has made a go d stand, aod most of it looks well.Reports from Southern Kansas as to winter wheat ate conflictinz.Tne indications are for a crop below that of 1891.In Northern Kansas the wheat 18 fair to good.In Southern Missouri, whiie there has been a marked improvement over the condition of the wheat from thirty days ago, yet the indications now are for not as large a crop as in 1891.Reports from Central Texas show that the prospects now are for a fair barvest of winter wheat, though they do not anticipate a yield anything equal to 1891.California reports some complaints of crop conditions \u2018not fully maintained, This Is owing to the fact that the rainfall is now not over 154 inches.\u201d arr Business Notes, Fred.Ernest Duquet and Frederic Lefebvre have formed a parinership as decorators and painters, under the name of F.Lefebvre & 0.Joseph Antoine Leprohon and Elzear

9,319 pipes), making 34,566 pipes for three months, against 21,- 678 pipes in 1891, The sherry shipments were 4,143 butts, making 16,272 butis for three months, against 16,581 butts in 1891.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Too Late, Perhaps Tennyson has written nothing which appeals to the hearts of all who read his pcems more than tue lyric of \u201cToo Late.\u201d The burden of the sad refrain comes home with telling force to the hearts of those who have lost friends by that dread diseese\u2014consump- tion.They realize, *\u2018 too late,\u201d the result of neclect.They fee! that the dear one might have been saved if they bad heeded tbe warning of the hacking cough, the pallid cheek and weakeniog system.They feel this all the more keenly because they see others bing rescued from the grasp of the destr.yer, and they think what is saving others might have saved their loved one.When the firat signal of danger is seen take steps to avert the catasirophe.Be wise in
