Dangerously Injured and Likelv to Die\u2014 Cause of the Accident.Peru, Ind., Jan.20.\u2014One of the most disastrous wrecks «ever recorded in the history of the Lake Erie and Western railway occurred early this morning at the Wabash River bridge, south of this city.Train No.16, the fast northbound express, struck a broken rail at the southern part of the bridge, derailing the cars.The engine reached the abutment of the second span, when the whole thing collapsed, taking the entire train down into the bed of the frozen river, thirty feet below.The bridge span of over 100 feet aleo fell with à crash.The train immediately toek fire, and was consumed.Only one person was killed, Geo.C.Dor- land, of Laporte, whose back was brokeu.The loss to the company is $25,000.The train was running forty miles an hour when the rail was struck.The engine liangs to the abutment of the second span.Another serious wreck was averted by the coolness of Neff, who, despite his in- Juries, ran back and signalled a freight train which was following, and which was stopped almost at the edge of the bridge.THE FIRE RECORD.Several Stores and a Number of Families Burned Out at Halifax.Halifax, N.S., Jan.20.\u2014A fire broke out early this morning in Thomas Boyle's grocery and liquor store, 23 and 27 Upper Water street.The building and contents were totally destroyed.The fire spread to some cheap wooden buildings, used as tenements, in the rear of Doyle\u2019s, and owned by Miss Hunter, which wero badly gutted.John Tonin and Co.'s large brick warehouse prevented the fire from spreading southwards, but in spite\u201d of the best efforts of the fire brigade, the fiames worked north.words.The Hunter building, next north, kept by Amos Morash as a boarding house and Lawrence Wallace as a clothing and general store, was soon afterwards gutted, but most of his stock was removed, No.35, the adjoining building, occupied by G.H.Boyle, conunission merchant, was scorched severely and the damage will be considerable.No.38, the southern portion of the same building, was occupied by W.J.Holey as a clothing house, who succeeded in removing all his goods but in amore or less damaged condition.At this point the firemen were successful in checking the spread of the fire.The building had tumbled down and ceased to cause trouble, and firemen were enabled to turn their attention to Seeton & Mitchell\u2019s store next building to the nerth.For a time it looked as if this building, too, was doomed, and the goods therein were hurriedly removed, but after two hours\u2019 hard fighting, the flames were subdued.The total loss wiil be $25,000 or $30,090, insurance probably half that amount.Doyle has 24,000 in Acadia.Although the loss was comparatively small the tire is a serious one because it renders homoless about a dozen families of the poorer classes.Mr.Gladstone In Good Health.London, Jan.20.\u2014In view of the persistent and malicious canards circulated hy Tory writers concerning Mr.Gladstone's health the correspondent of The United Press has been authorized to state that Mr Gladstone has an exceileut appetite, sleeps remarkably well, and in his daily work

ef the Montreal Charter Amendments Postponed.» oO Short Discussion of the Proposed Abolition of the District Magistrates\u2019 Court in Mont- real\u2014The First Measure of the Session Sent to the Upper House\u2014A Number of Bills Introduced.{Special to The Herald.] Quebec, Jan.20.\u2014The thauks of the Lieut.-Governox for the addresses presented to him by both houses of Parliament were to-day transmitted separately to each.Mr.Starnes\u2019 amendment having necessitated a soparate address for the Council, also entailed a separate reply.It is an understood thing among the gentlemen of the Upper House that Mr.Archambault\u2019s bill to abolish the sessional indemnity for all members of the legislature is to be carried unanimously.Mr.Arch.ambault, who was seen upon the subject, seemed very much in earnest indeed.It ia not a joke by any means, he said.I believe it to be the duty of leygisiators to forego their indemnity uatil the provincial finances have been brought into better shape.The bill I have introduced will have to be voted upon in the assembly, and will.be a true test of the sincerity of the majority.The saving effected if the meusure pussed would be close upon one hundred theusand doilars.\u2018The majority ef members of the assembly le!t for their homes at one o'clock p-w., and it was with difficulty that twenty- two could be collected to form a quorum, The proceedings were almost entirely routine., THE BUSINESS OF THE DAY.A bill was introduced by Mr.Pioault to amend the law concerning; public iv- struction by the insertion of n clause disqualifying illiterate persons for the position of school commissioners.He gave several instances of men unable to read or write, being called upon to judge of the competency of school

Francois DeBilly who came over to New France in Frontenac\u2019s time.Mr.Girard of Lake St.John handed in the first report of the select committee named at the close of last session to collect during

St.Vincent de Paul friars referred te in yesterday's correspondence was carried through all the stages and assed, being the first measure sent te the pper House this session.The following bills went

measure.The Government, he said, desired to abolish the court, because the magistrates did not happen to be their friends.Econom was merely a pretext.All the ontreal members in the last legislature were favorable to the establishment of this court.M.Tessier, of Portneuf, soid that he did not wish to oppose in any way the wishes of the citizens of Montreal, as voiced by their representatives.He thought, however, that the duty of the house was to find out what was the real state of public feeling in this connection and make sure that it wus not merely a measure of petty vengeance.At all events the Montreal district magistrates could not be more useless than some others, Magistrate Garen, of Rimouski, for instance.Mr.Casgrain replied that the measure was introduced at the request of the Montreal Bar and of a large number of business men who cotiplained that speculaters made a business of laying up accounts and ruining a number of poor people by means of this court.It was also a measure of economy, the annual saving being $15,000 a year.It was by thus paring dewn in al] directions that the Governinent expected to save $100,000 in the administratien of justice.The bill was read a second time on division, with the understanding that a regular debate would take place on the motion to go into committee, INTERESTING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.Mr, Turgeon inquired whether Messrs- Hall and Casgrain\u2019s mission to London was of a public nature.Mr.Taillon replied that it was not.Mr.Pinault put a series of questions concerning the gentlemen who had stumped the county of Matane against him last election.It turned out that two of the gentlemen, Damours and Bignell, has received $1,299 and $1,076 for professional work in Rimouski and Beauce.Mr.Dechene was informed by the at- torney-general that, Messrs.Isidore Belleau and Gustavus Stuart had been retained as Crown presecutors in the Mercier trial, but had so far had seat in no bills.Answering Mr, Laliberte, Mr, Pelletier said that Mr.Delorme, former clerk of the assembly, had been receiving $2,400 salary, and $400 as clerk of the Crown in chancery.His pension was $1260.He had been replaced as Clerk of the House by Mr.Desjardins at a salary of $2400, and Mr.Rouillard had become Clerks of the Crown in Chancery, at $400.Mr.Rouillard was also employed as a special officer in the Crown Lands Department at $2.50 a day.À few private bills were advanced a stage, and the House adjourned at five.Mr.Peter Daly, of Montreal, has wired to Treasurer Hall that the hackmen of Montreal were nnanimous in wishing that a general election of aldermea be held on the lst of March.PRIVATE BILLS COMMITTEE.The Private Bills conunittce met this morning to consider the Montreal charter amendments.Several Montreal aldermen, including Ald.Clendinneng and Herteau, City Attorney Ethier, first held a conference with the city members.When the committee met, Mr.Auge asked that the city bill legalizing the election of the mayor and twelve aldermen on February Ist, and the vote of 810,000 in favor of the St.Johns fire sufferers.be first taken up, and moved the adoption of the preamle explaining the different provisions of the measure and the urgency of the case.In the discussion which followed, Mr.Stephens spoke of the necessity of a general MONTREAL, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 1893.\u2014 PRICE TWO CENTS.election, in the opinion of the citizens, to clear out the boodiers and cleanse the Augean stable of tne Council, adding that if the present system were not changed they would be certain to get the same men back and the same rings foisted on the city again.These statements were taken exception to by Mr.Kennedy, who challenged Mr.Stephens to point to any action of his that could be construed as boodling.In reply to a question from a member of the committee as to whether he was in favor of partial or general elections, Mr.Kennedy said that he believed it was the wish et the citizens generally that the electiens should be general, and he, for one, would not throw any obstacle in the way.in reply te Mr.Stephens, Mr.Kennedy said he was enly speaking for himself as regards boodling, but hoped that an end would be put to the \u2018\u201c\u2018mud-slinging\u201d against the council as a whole.Mr.Cook moved that the committee should consider the clauses of the bill before taking up the preamble, but Mr.Auge strongly objected.However.Mr.Cook's motion was carried on division and Mr.Auge thereupon moved to be allowed to withdraw the corporation bill, insisting that he had a right to do so, and that it remained his property to do as be pleased with und \u2018not that of the House as long as neither its preamble ner its clauses had been considered or discussed.Moreover, he ehjected to his measure being so cxtensively amended as was evidently the intention, that it would Le really made a new bill, and he quoted from Bourinot to show that this was not permia- sible.Objections, however, being offered to the withdrawal, the chairman, Mr.Duplessis, docided that, as the committee were not unanimons, the bill could not be withdrawn, Mr.Auge then moved that the committee adjourn until Tuesday next,when he would be prepared, he said, to show that the committe would be acting illegally in taking possession of the bill in the face of his deinand for its withdrawal, and his motion to adjourn being carried by a vote of eight to four the committee rege amid considerable excitement.Apart from the inembers of the committee the attendance included Ald.Olendinneng and Hurteau, Assistant City Attorney Ethier and Messrs, Emard, Lavigne, La- moths, Joel Leduc and Hon.J.K.Ward.BREAD RIOT IN AMSTERDAM.Unemployed Workmen Get Up à Demonstration and Fight the Police.Amsterdam, Jan.20.\u2014To-dey the unemployed workiugmen formed a procession and passed through a number of the principal streets growing mere noisy and more demonstrative as it was found that the police did not interfere.Finally the mob, for into such the procession had degenerated, stopped in front of large bakery and attempted te take the place by storm.The police wore on the alert, however, for anything of this sort, and a number of them were quickly on the scene, and prevented the locking of the shop.The police allowed two of the men to enter the bakery te ask for bread.These men demanded food from the proprictors and met with a prompt and decided refusal.They then returned to the streot and the mob marclied on yelling, shouting and threatening, Finally they became so disorderly that a body of 200 police attempted to disperse them.The mob resisted and e desperate melee occurred in which volleys of stones were thrown at vhe officers.Several of the gendarmes were quite badly injured.The police with drawn swords repeatedly charged the crowd, and inflicted many sword cuts on the rioters.The procession was finally broken up, but even then isolated batches of the rioters continued fighting for hours, The leaders of the mob were captured by the police Hon.Mr.Dryden on Farming.The Hon.Mi.Dryden, Minister of Agriculture 1a Untario gave an interesciug and instructive adress at the Fat Stock show in Gueipin last month.In the course of his remarks while touehing upon the sad failure o: our time to keep the young people on the farm hc spoke as follows: | What is it takes them away?Some one Will at once answer, \u2018\u2018 Too mueh education.\u201d I do mot want anyone to tell me that, bevause I do uot think it is true.Do you mean to say that a men cun become too inteilectuni-that le can learu Lo think toe

going to sue- ceed in any line o: business there must be labor connected with it; and so it is not mere labor which drives the young man away.There are two thimgs, to my mind, which have a tendensy to do this.The first is a false sontiment per- vadiug the entire community that farming is @ poer, mean busluess ; ft is felt all through the school system.The little fellows get hold of it sometimes in their oww homes, andl ater emong their comrades at school.The second one is that farming i à non-paying businoss, ot in other words, labor without reward ; and these young men say that they will not stay in a business where there is nothing in it.The iact is, prosperity on the farm makes the sturdiest kind of men, and the lovliest women.City men seek them out to preside over their elegant homes.But constant and incessant labor, year in and year out, on the farm, without any reward, gives you soured husbands, tired, broken-hearted mothers, and disgusted children who are bound te go into ithe city or town to try to live by their wits.I have discovered that it in a far easier thing ior a boy to Loe a row of potatees when there is ten ot twenty cents at the end of it than it is without.The sun does not hurt, and he dogs not so easily get tired.You old men are exactly the same : if you go on laboring without reward any of you will arow weary in well doing.So, to come back to iny point, the advanced farmer is enMtled to the best price his products will bring.and if there is any class of pa: - Who ourht to have the best re- suit of their skill and !nbor it fs ilosa who follow agricultural puranits.I hope to sce the day when these defects will be remedied.and in the truest sense the hest man will win.The Scarcity of Snow.Unlike past winters.there has been very little occasion to remeve snow from the streets of this city, the work of that nature thut is being done falling to the lot of the Street Railway company.The city has spent many thousands of dollars for carting superfiuous snow from the streets away out ou the ice to the middle of the river.Surely that plan conld he improved upon should the necessity occur.On this very subject, referring to the blockade causad by a snow storm in that city, the New York Telegram asks editerially: *\u201c Why not try a new way?Furnaces aould be stationed on the streets and moved from point to point.The Street Cleaning Department's sappers and miners could shevel the suow and ice into boilers or melters, so arranged over the furnaces as tolet the resulting water run away into tlhe A GROWING TOWN Smith's Falls Is Reaching Out to Be- \u201c Come a City.Its Remarkable Progress During the Past Seven Years\u2014Its Population Now Exceeds 4000 and Is Growing Rapidiy\u2014Some of the Great Industries of the Town\u2014It Is Becoming a Railway Centre.[Special Correspondence of The Herald.) Sinith\u2019s Falls, Jan.20.\u2014It would be difficult to find in this or any other country a more prosperous and progressive town or one with more brilliant prospeots than the town of Smith\u2019s Falls.Its history for the last decade is one of advancement, enlargement and muprovement seldom paralleled except it may be in the case of some of the many new piaces ofthe western plains.But, unlike a good many of these, which to-day ave and to-morrow are not, its growth has Leen gradual, steady and steadiast, and today no one acquainted with the place dreams of speaking of that growth in the past tense.Ten years ago, or to speak more accurate- lv, in 1881, the census then taken showed the village of Smith's Falls to have a popul- ation-of 2,087 and the assessor's roll gives the assessable property at $403,000.In 1801 the village hus become a town with a population of 4000 and an as- sessiment of 940,000.Since then there has been an increase of both popuiation and assessment, and each year the good work goes on.This remarkable development, though given as between the times ef the taking of the census, should in reality be credited to the last seven years, and for that number of years it will be seen that the showing is a very creditable one to the place.A gratifying feature of the growth has been that there was no boom, no undue inflation of prices of real estate, but an active go ahead development in which the voice of the boomer was not heard.To the geographical position of the town, te the push and energy of its citizens, and last, but not least, to the C.P.R.must be given the ored- it for the enviable pluce it occupies to-day.In 1885-86 the Ontario and Quebec division of the C.P.R.was built, and Smith\u2019s Falls fromitslocation at once became an important station.A large lot of land in the corporation was bought by the company, a large roundhouse, a handsome station and other buildings wers erected and Smith's Falls made a divisional int.From that day on Smith\u2019s Falls as steadily grown, each year reaching ous and extending its borders a little and adding to its population.A succession of busy, bustling years has followed, in each of which an average of $120,000 have been expended in new buildings and improvementa, The population has doubled, the ussessment has more than doubled, the vacant places on the etreets havo been filled with handsome new blocks, old structures in the centre of the town have gradually been replaced by beautiful modern ones, while in every part of the corporation what were seven or eight yeurs ago work fields are now adorned with rows of ornamental residences.The streets are all clean and wide, the two prineipal business ones being 99 feet wide; the others are neat and clean and of regulation width.) The town is situated on rising ground, which slopes from either side to the Rideau river that divides it.This gives easy and natural drainage, and the result is that the streots are exceptionally dry and free from mud, even in the wet seasons.It is a manufacturing town, of course, and toits manufacturing industries it chiefly looks for its support, and never yet have they failed its people.There are the large implements works of Frost and Wood, which employ over 200 men, and are the second of third largest in the Dominion.Near by there is the Malleable iran works, W.H.Frost, proprietor.This also is an important industry, and like the town growing very fast.A new briek moulding shop for these works, 250 ft.by 58, has just been completed, and into which the men were put a few days ago.It is the second largest Malleable iron shops in the Dominion -and turns out work which eompares with any.In this shop 120 men are employed.Rideau Foundry, J.H.Gould, proprietor, is anether large implement manufactory, ant in this about 100 men are kept st work, The stove foundry of Johnston & Me- Gregor\u2019s is an important industry in the town and besides there are planing mills, a tannery, two large flour mills, phesphate works and numerous amaller industries, which go tn keep up the trade and the progress of the town.On account of Smith's Falle being a divisional point on the great Transcontinental railway and a place of transfer of freight as well, a great many hands are employed by that corporation, s0 that the pay sheets of the C.P.R.and the different manufacturing concorns amount to about $30,000 monthly.The shipping faoilitiqs to nccommodate the output oi the diferent manufacfories are excellent, and when tho proposed Kingston, Smith\u2019s Falls and Ottawa railway is built there will be few towns in the province oocupying a better position in this respect.From Smith\u2019s Falls the C, P.R.branches in every direction, and the company are obliging ard accommedating to all shippers.Then the town is situated on the banks of the Rideau river, a part of the Rideau canal system which connects the Ottawa river with Lake Ontario at .Kingston.The Kingston, Smith's Falls and Ottawa Railway has beeu subsidized by the Government, has been bonusged by all the municipalities along the route, and work on it is sure to begin 1n the spring.The town has an excellent system of arc and incandescent lighting, a good though only a partial system of waterworks, able, vigorous newspapers, bundsoine churches and public buildings, the best \u2018of high and public sehools and lots of energetic, enterprising business men, who are bound to push it Lo à front place.It has an almost unlimited water power in and about it, and the day is not fur distant when it shall be harnessed down to the wheels of humming industries in ail parts of the town.Sar.reunded by a good faring country, with one of the best markets in the province, situated within 128 miles of Canada\u2019s great metropolis, Montreal, and within 210 miles of Torofto, it seems as if fate had decreed that here was the site for a flourishing city.This is the aim and ambition of its people, and more unlikely things have como to pass.MARINE INTELLIGENCE.Movements of Ocean Steamships.Jaa, 20 Arrived at From Tauric.Queenstown New York Westernland outhamptor New Yor Diadeni.vew York.msterdain

Herald some of His Experiences \u2014Complaints About the Poor Quality of Cheese Boxes From This Province, [Special to Tho Herald.) [ lOttawa, Jan.20.\u2014Professor Robertson, Dairy commissioner, returned here to-day from his visit to Great Britain, where he did some excellent work in behalf of Canada.The old country press, from Land\u2019s End to John O'Groats, has not only published Mr, Robertsen\u2019s views on Canada at length, but has dealt editorially with the same in a very favorable way, commending the same to the consideration of tbe British agriculturist to aid him through the existing depression in the country.\u201cI obtained good prices,\u201d said Mr.Robertson to The Herald, \u201c\u2018 for the dairy products which I brought with me from the Experimental dairy stations.There wiil be enough profit from the same to pay a large share of the ex- ense of my trip.Canadian cheese, butter, bacon and eggs are growing in favor with importers and wholesale houses.Retailers frequently put our products before their customers as the Lest English, which is unfair tous.'I'wo-thirds of our clieese only is sold as Cauadian.The saine thing, continued Mr.Robertson, is done in regard Lo beef.No butcher owns to selling Canadian or American beef.They say it is only to be had at the rough shops, which is untrue.There is an ever-increasing DEMAND FOR CANADIAN FINE BUTTER and Canadian cured swine products.I was able to show the superiority of quality which resuited from our fattening systen of swine on mixed cereals, skimmed milk and frozen wheat, ete.Eggs are wanted as fresh as possible, and it would pay to cellect them twice a week from the farmers.Poultry is wanted only at Christmas time, 1 would like to see the Department of Agr riculture adopt some means whereby the large profits of the retailers may no longer interpose.I heard of one butcher who made & million dollars in a few years out of selling prime Canadian beef us the * best English.\u201d I received an offer for our mammoth Canadian cheese which is to come from the centre of the dairy pyramid at the world\u2019s Columbiam exposition at Chicago.He has no less than ninety shops in difler- ent parts of London.This offer was from the great Liphon, whose recail sales of tea are £75 tons per week.He will exhibit it to the public without expense to the department or without charge to those who go to see it, in every large city of Great Britain and Ireland.Ho will spend 815,000 in advertising it as the LARGEST CHEESE IN THE WORLD.All this will call attention to the magnitude of our trade and will be ample justification for the commissioners course in having made such a mammoth cheese.As to butter I night say we need refrigerator accommodation on the steamship lines from Canada.On investigation into tinned butter I think Canadians might now get possession of the W-st India trad® in butter and with the facilities afforded by the C.P.Rand the Pacific steamships we should get the major share of the trade in butter, bacon and cheese with Hong Kong, China and Japan.I arranged fer a supply of tin boxed to make an experiment in this direction.\u201d BAD QUALITY OF CHEESE BOXES.¢\u201c Many complaints were made to me about the poor quality of cheese boxes in which cheese had been sent, particularly from the Province of Quebec., Good sound boxes give an additional value to the cheese.The fat cheese from Quebec have not met with particular favor.The irregularity in shape and size, the unworkmanlike finish, or want of finish, and the wretchedly bad boxes were the worst features of some cheese from that province.These defects could all be remedied in one scason by w little more care and taste.The French race have the reputation of putting up goods of all sorts in the daintiest and most attractive form.The French-speaking dairymen of Quebec should try te maintain the geod name of their people in that re- Ard.The meetings Which I addressed awoke much enthusiastic interest in regard to Canadian matters, and in response to requests from the members of the Produce Exchange of four or five of the great cities of Great Britain, I will endeaver to make these visits yearly hereafter.VISITS TO ENGLISH FARMS.Mr.Robertson then went on to refer to his visits to some of the farms on the best kpown estates m England, having letters of introduction from Lord Stanley.Everywhere he was well received.Ée said, while there was a candid admission that Canadian farmers were keen competitors in their markets, I found every one delightfully ready to afford me any inferm- ation, which might be useful in Canada.The west and south of Scotland are very much indebted to Canada for the instructors, which have helped to improve the gual.ity of their cheese, some say to the extent of 25 or 30 per cent.Sir Mark J.Stewart, of Ardwell, Andrew Ciement, Esq., of Glasgow, and Robt.Wallace, Esq., of Anchen.brain, are the three gentlemen who were instrumental mainly in bringing that about.My younger brother was one of the most successtul of the instructors.\u201d } An Expensive Fire Last Night.An alarin was sent in from box 42, at 8.20 last evening, for a tire in the upper flat of Mr.Lyon Silverman\u2019s essence and favoring extract store, 504 St.Paul street.The flames spread right and left into the stores of Messrs.J.Harris and Co, cigar merchants, and Larivie and Co., forwarding agents.The brigade confined the blaze to the upper flats, but not before some $15,000 damage had been dome.This sum would have been larger but for the good work of the Salvage corps, No.2 spreading 87 and No.4 52 covers.A second alarm was rung in at 11.30 p.m., the fire having broken out afresh, but it was quickly extinguished.TO-DAY'S WEATHER, Fale Weather, Stationary or a Little Higher Temperature._ Toronto.Jan.20.\u2014There is a slight increase in pressure over Northern Canada, elsewhere pressure remains

IM ARRESTED IN LONDON, AR Detectives Ordered to Remain With Him, as He Is Toe Ill to Be Removed \u2014 The News in Paris, London, Jan.20.\u2014Dr, Cornelius Herg wes arrested at midnight on a warrant ise sued on demand of the French Government on the charge of having beun suspiciousiy implicated in the Pansma swind!ing and corruptien.The detectives found Herz sick in bed, and the attending physician declared he was in sucha serious condition that he could only be removed at the imminent peril of his lite, aud that from preseut ape peurances it would be impossible to remove lim for some time.The detectives were ordered to remain with the prisoner.Herz, notwithstanding his illness, hus made energetic preparations to contest tue eilort to extradite Lim to France.He has ret: red Mr.Lewis, the well-known solie citor, and Sir Edward Clarke and Mr.Gill, as counsel in the case.In an interview Herz said he preferred suicide to prison.OAUSES EXCITEMENT IN PARIS.Paris, Jan.20.\u2014The sole topic of conver sation in the chamber lobbies and tae cafes this afternoon has been the arrest of Corne.linus Herz.The prospect of his return to France, and the possibility that he will reveal the evidence which he holds against couspiçuous politicians and financiers, have excited general apprehension.Outside of royalist and socialistic circles, the arrest is regarded with a feeling closely akin to panic.The gravest fears exist on account of the Senate, whose members are believed to be threatened more seriously than all others throwgh Herz's return.Everybody feels that the worst will come out as soon as Herz shall come before the examining magistrate.HERZ WAS THE CREDHOR.In view of Herz\u2019's capture The Liberte comes eut with a statement as to the relations between Herz und Baron de Rein- ach.Documents seized wpon the premises ecaupied by Herz-when he lived under the name of Schwab show, suys thig journal, that Reinach was the debter end Herz was the creditor.ag yas affirmed by Herz in his lets ter published in the-Cocarde last evening, AYN OBJECT OF CURIOSITY.At the Palais Bourbon this afternoon Ms Andrieux was the principal object of euriosity, and at every ture he was the centre of a little knot of deputies who plied: him with questions us to Hera.ML.Aundrieux reiterated his convietions that Hera was not a spy for the triple alliance, but as stated in The Figaro interview had striven earhestly to detacls Italy from Austria-Hungary and Germany, PARLIAMENTARY COMMISSION TESTIMONY, After deputy Gerville-Reache had In formed the Parliamentary Commission of Iuguiry that he would introduce in the: Chamber a bill forbidding recipients o Panama money to alienate their estates M.Andrieux was called upon to throw mor light upon the bribery of 104 deputies, concerning whom he testified an December 23, He said that he did not have the original of the photographed list which he had submitted to the cominission.The name cut out of the list, he said, wns that of a high political dignitary, He had promised on his honor not\u201d to réeir this name, and he must persis in bis refusal.M.Andrieux refused also te give the names mentioned in M.Arton\u2019s note book, on the ground that there was not sufficient evidence against the men named, and he did not wish to blacken reputations ruthlessly.As to the check endorsed by M.Davourst\u2019s clerk, presumably as agent for some high personage, M.Andrieux said that he could only refer the commission te the speech of M.Rouvier in the Chamber on the day of his retirement from the ministry of finance.Rouvier had obtained Panama money for the purpose of replenishing the secret service fund.When attacked by the Lanterne in 1887, Rouvier had peid 100,000 francs to that journal as the price of peace.He explained the matter to the Cabinet, and was allowed to take 86,000 francs of the secret service money, and thus bad depleted the fund, The Lauterne had ceased attacking Rowe vier, but had continued to dencunce the other ministers.CEDMENCEAU SAW THE CLERKS.Reverting to the Reinach documents, M, Andrieux said that he had ebtained the memoranda as to the Thierre checks, etc., from Cornelius Herz, whe hid received them from Reinach.Andrieux did not know that Reinach had shown the rhemoranda to Cleme enceau, but he himself had once shown them te Clemenceau.Merz, after quarreling with Reinaoh, had sent to M, Constans, then Minister of the hiterior, documenta showing that Reinach had tried to poison, him, Subsequently, however, Reinach and Herz had been reconciled.As to the checks mentioned in Awter\u2019s noteboek Arton alone could give the desired information, Arton was af present in correspoudency with several men in Paris, notably with tli Boulaugist deputies Georges, Luguerre and Terrail-Mermeix.On the strength of M, Andrieux\u2019s testimony the commission des cided to summon deputies Laguerre and Tepe rail-Mermeix, and Clemenceau to appear before them to-morrow, After leaving the commission M.Andnjenx passed several minutes in conversation shy Deputies Delahaye and Milleraye, to @hom he reiterated his statements as regards Herz's loyalty to Franes, and Lis effares to break the triple alliance.The Temps says that in view of M.Steph- ane\u2019s testimony as to his delivering tp M.Clemenceau of Baron de Reingoh\u2019s memoranda concerning the bribery of deputics, M.Tiburce Franqueville, emeimining 1Magiss trate, has summoned Clemenceau to appear before him to-morrew for examination.PERSONAL.The St.James Hotel late

on the Fourth at Eagle Lake, I.T.Moore, with a party of several others, went into camp at the lake on the evening of the 3d.On the morning of the 4th Moore, with his fishing pole, waded out to a log on the lake, where he sat down.He was barefooted.While moving his left foot to and fro in the water a large fish, supposed to be a black bass, made a sudden lunge and grabbed the toe in its mouth, sinking the teeth into the flesh to the bone.Moore rolled from the log into the water, which was waist-deep, He waded to the shore, the bass still clinging to the toe, In shallow water Moore gathered the fish and pried open the mouth.the fish escaping into the lake.The toe is so badly lacerated that Moore is unable to walk, and the member will probably have to be amputated.\u2014St.Louis Globe-Democrat.Vanderbilt's Baronial Castle.The estate of 10,000 acres on which Mr.George Vanderbilt is erecting a baronial castle in North Carolina represents forty farms, which was bought up from the mountaineers at a total cost of fully $600,000.Half of the estate is to be forest land, in which there will be many rare trees and bushes from China, Japan, Italy and France.The natural appearence of the land is in process of embellishment by the landscape architect, with the expectation that when all is finished every rock and bowlder will be picturesque and every prospect pleasing, The house itself will contain 120 rooms, besides the servants\u2019 quarters.As an example of the extensive way in which the work is carried on, it is stated that the salaries and wages alone amount to $50,000 a month.She's a Great-Grandmother at Forty.\u2018There is a woman in Key West, Fla.! not yet 40 years old, who is a great-grand- mother,\u201d said C.W.Smith.\u2018She is a Cuban, and her name is Cortessio.When but 13 years old her first child was borna daughter.When 14 years old this daughter gave birth to a daughter, and the latter has discounted the performance cf her ancestors by becoming the mother ot a lusty son at the tender age of 12.She is married to a cigarmaker, and the son has been named in honor of President Harrison, In that semi-tropical climate it is no anusualthing for girls to get married and become mothers at a very early age, but I believe this to be a record breaker.\u201d\u2014St, Louis (lobe Democrat.When the expression on a man\u2019s countenance speaks volumes, it indicates that he is well booked up on his subject.\u2014 Lowell Coyries, MEo- -ance, and s FASHIONS FOR ELDERLY WOMEN.Dress Hints by Isabel O\u2019Mallon in Ladies Home Journal, \"The old saying of the Frenchman that, \u201cA woman is as old as she looks, a man as old as he feels,\u201d is really great wisdom.It has been quoted and quoted, and yet the moral that it points does not seem to have been appreciated by womankind.Nothing ia so ridiculous or so painful as an elderly woman dressed like a young girl, but there is a happy medium by which years can be prettily, consistently and fashionably clothed, and which American women do not seem to thoroughly understand.It would seem as if we had nothing but old and young, women, and that the sweet autumn time of life was not considered.Yet it is the most beautiful, for by that time a woman has learned the ways of the world, has learned to subdue her thoughts and cultivate her virtues, and has learned in addition, the great art of making the.best of everything.Too often the elderly lady gives herself over to absolutely plain blac gowns, to a severe neck dressing, a bonnet that is decidedly old-fashioned in shape and dowdy in decoration, and a wrap free from all fit, simply loose in shape.All this is wrong, and if your mother or somebody\u2019s else mother does not realize that beauty in dressing at forty-five or fifty is as much her right as it is yours at twenty, then you must teach her.Fifty Years Young.If you want to keep from growing old, if you want to look young and charming, see that there come no wrinkles on your heart.Be a8 merry and as happy as you possibly can, finding good in everything and loveliness everywhere.Be very certain that your face will show what is in your heart, und that being only sixteen there, with no knowledge of the wickedness of the world, you will show a face free from unbelief, eyes as clear as if they were wells of truth and everybody will forget that you are fifty years old, but will delightfully tell you that you are fifty years young.If for no other reason, the mothers of daughters and the wives of husbands should keep themselves young in heart and pretty in dress, for they have some one to give the word of approbation to them.The daughter who takes a pride in her mother's appearance will, you may be sure, make a good mother herself.I remember-the pride that a woman once took\u2014a woman who had many woes and worries\u2014in the fact that at a diplomatic reception her mother locked Jounger than she did, and that some gl ant Frenchman positively refused to believe that the pair were not sisters, and the daughter the older of the two.For once this woman was absolutely happy, and while I do not want our daughters to grow tired and old in appearance, still I do wish that our mothers would look younger.Dress so that your boys will be proud to take you out with them.Mistakes That Many Make, I asked a very stout woman whose bodice looked bulky and wrinkled why it was so, and she told me that it was because her underwear wrinkled and made her bodice fit badly.I said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you dress to suit the weather, and as other people do?\u201d And she answered, \u2018\u2018Oh, well, I have been dressing this way ever since I was a girl.\u201d The truth was that under her bodice she had a vest, a thickly gathered chemise, her stays and their cover.Of course she could easily have laid aside the chemise and the cover without feeling their loss as far as warmth was concerned, and a shor: petticoat could be substituted for the lower part of the chemise.By this arrangement her bodice could be smoothlv fitted and the appearance of lumps here and there would be entirely avoided.Everybody knows how perfectly a bodice without any lining can e made to fit, so it goes without saying that the one which, in addition to its lining, has three under-bodices is not likely to be very smooth in effect.Do not, if your hands are.wrinkled, make the mistake ot putting a severe linen cuff next to them ; instead, let a soft fall of lace cover the ravages of time and add to the daintiness of your costume.And then do not be induced, even if the coquettish-look- ing veil does attract you to assume it, for while it may look charming in its whiteness, or its bright hue on your daughter, it is out of place on you.For a Woman of Fifty, A dress to be worn by a woman of fifty, who is decidedly stout, is of seal brown cashmere, made with a plain skirt that has, nevertheless, its fullness so arranged that the folds are loosely draped across the stomach, and are long and straight in the back.The bodice is a coat one of cashmere with jacket fronts, slightly fitted, and showing a tucked waistcoat of brown silk.These tucks are flat and long, extending from the neck to the very edge.All the edges of the coat are finished with a narrow brown silk cord, and the turnover collar has the same finish; above it shows a narrow fold of the silk.As the closing is done with hooks and eyes no buttons are visible.The bonnet is a low oval shape of brown straw with a twist of velvet around its edge, a cluster of brown flowers in front, and brown velvet ties coming from the back knotted a little below the chin.The gloves are tan undressed kid, and the parasol is of brown silk.Some Few Last Words, I wish I could make every woman in America who is over forty years of age understand how desirable it is for her to dress well and prettily.It is a duty she owes to her husband, her children, and the world at large.The woman who is fortunate enough to be mother to any human being wants to leave a picture on that one heart of how charming and how prettily mother always looked.Women are committing absolute sins every day in not thinking of this.1am tempted to say that I wish a society for the encouragement of vanity among elderly women could be started, for I do not believe that it would do anything but good.Won't you take my little preaching to heart?Won't you remember that it is as I say, your duty to always look your best, not alone from a motive of self-respect, but because of the people who love you like to think of you as pretty and dainty ?Care in Sunali Things.The elderly woman is to apt to think that her pppearance isnotof any importe neglects the small belongings of dress, wearing a badly-made shoe, too often ill-fitting gloves, handkerchiefs that are neither fine or protty, and a neck-dress- ing that bas nothing to recommend it,unless some one should approve of solvenliness.Young women can afford to dress plainly, but it is the women, who are elderl-7 who havea right to the elaborate and rich clothes.We are apt to conclude that what the mother is the daughter will be, and when a younggirl elaborately gowned is seen with a mother dressedyin the most dowdy fashion the conclusion is quickly reached that at her age the daughter willresemble the mother.This may be true or not, but it is injustice to the girl, and more than wrong in the mother, not to be as young in heart and appearance as she possibly can.BREVITIES.The old lady, Bridget McGrath, residing on Beaudry street, who was seriously burnt on the body yesterday afternoon, died in the Notre Dame Hospital yesterday at noon.In the report of the election of directors of the Montreal Safe Deposit company the following names

nineten, 8 bride of eix months, aud a lovely hazel eyed brunette.She had everyihing that heart could desire.and, consequently, she wasn\u2019t exnetly pleased with anythin.\u201cLike him well enough!\u201d repented Anna Clarke, who, having just graduated irom school, thought that the young wife, who had wedded the man she loved, ought to.be extremely happy.\u201cOh, Mina, how coldly you speak.\u201d \u201cWell, I can\u2019t help it,\u201d said Mus.Cameron, letting her head fall languidly back on the rose satin pufiings of the easy chair on whichyshe sat.\u2018\u2019Oue gots tired of cakes and champagne all the time.Sometimes I think 1 should be happier if Clarence didu\u2019t worship me so devotedly.\u201d \u201cOh Mina.\u201d \u201cIt's a Dore, you know,\u201d said the young wife, confidentially.\u201cIt would be a rulief if he would find fault ve- casionaliy.He\u2019s too good.Now Sophia Markan is actually afraid où her husband, a great, handsome six-footer oi a fellow, with a lovely black silk beard like an ltalian brigand.Oh, it must be charm:ug to be a littie aïraid où onc's husband.When you are about to get married, don\u2019t marry a man who is sugar and spice and all that's nice; it much too insipid.As it happened, Mrs.Canieron\u2019s elegant pariors were separated from her boudoir by porticres.Mr.Cameron, reading his paper, rat on the other wide oi the draperics, and heard the conversation-au cavesdropper in spite of himself.\u201cI'l see that the fault is corrected,\u201d he said to himseli with a grim smile.And he went off to business without the \u2018good-by kiss\u2019 in which he generally indulged.Mrs.Cameron went out shopping in the afternoon and was detained a little, but it did not worry her in the least.\u201cYm a little late, I'm afraid,\u201d she said as she entered the diningroom, Where Mr.C.was pacing up and down like the proverbial \u201ccaged lion\u201d of romance.\u201cLate, Madam! I should say you were.\u201d retorted the husband in a tone that fairly made Mrs.Cameron start.\u201cIt's half-past six if jts a second.But I suppose you think my time is of no vaiue.\u201d \u201cClarence!\u201d \u201cI've borne this long enough,\u201d went on the Indignant husband.\u2018\u2019And 1 give your fnir notice that I will bear it no longer.Jane,\u201d to the girl, \u201cbring in the dinner at once, and to-morrow iet it be served at six punctually, whether Your mistress is here or not.\u201d \u201cYes, sir,\u201d said Jane, and she disappeared, grinning, into the kitchen, Mre.Cameron sut down, crimson to the very roots of her hair.\u201cClarence,\u201d she said, with difficulty controlling her voice, \u2018is it necessary to thus insult me before the servants?\u2019 T \u201cYes, madam, it is.If a wife doesn\u2019t comprehend her duty, it is high time she should be made to do so.I'll trouble you for a cup of coffee.\u201d Mrs.Caweron was mortified, stunned, dazed.Sie was entirely unused to this kind of domestic reproof.*Almost before the desert, with; which Mr.Cameron found plenty of fault, intimating that it wouid be better if his wile remained at home te attend to household inatters a little more, instead of gadding abroad the whole time, the door bell sounded.\u201cIt\u2019s dear mamma and Aunt Lizzie come to spend the evening,\u201d said Miua juraping up.\u201cConfound them alll\u201d roared Mr.C., suwitting the table with his fist, \u201ccan\u2019t 1 have a quiet evening once in a while.\u201d \"II toid tüeiu you would take us all to the theatre to-night,\u201d hesitated Mina, the color coming and going changefully on her face.\u201cludeed! May I ask, madam, who authorized you to make the stetoment\u201d\u201d crisply queried her husbaud.\u201cAm I a mere puppet in your hands, and am I supposed to have no will or desire of my owa?\"\u201d \u201cBut you will go, won\u2019: you, Clarence?\u2019 faltered Mina.\u2018No, madam, I will not,\u2019 said Mr, C., rising and looking uround for his hat.*T propose to sped the evening quietly at the ciub.\u201d And he bolted outi of the room, nearly falling over his mother-in-law in the passage aad muttering to himself: \u201cBy jove, if I'd staid another moirent those tears would have conquered mae.Poor little Mina!\u201d It was past twelve when he returned.Never, in all the experience of their married life, had he been so late beiore.\u201cSitting up, eh?\u2019 he said savagely.\u201cNow, Mrs.Camoron, I mean to put an snd, once for ail, to this sort of thing.\u201d + I wae so anxious about you, Ciar- tuce,\u201d\u2019 pleaded poor Mina, \u201cAnxious!\u201d sneered he.\u201cDo you suppose John Markan ailews his wife to sit up for him.\u201d \u201cOk, Clarence, I wouldu\u2019t have you like John Markan for the world,\u201d exclaimed Mina, barsting into

is taking steps Lo relesate the lords of creation to thet dim obscurity to which she thinks they belong.There is portentous significance in certain reso- iutions iutroduçed nt recent meetings, both here and in England.The local resolution which notifies men that it is noi as men, but as adjuncts to womankind that they are valuable to society, protests against the election of bachelor legislators like Senator Hill, \u201cwho know nothing of women and their wants, and are therefore unfit to legislate for them.In England it was in a woman\u2019s franchise league meeting that Mrs.Seatcherd became so enthusiastic on the subject of the rights of women that she proposed they should neither take a wedding ring nor take the husband\u2019s name.The proposal did not meet with that prompt vor such independent spirit merits.li > said that various objections were raised by the conservativ» English wo- mel.Perhaps Mrs.Seatcberd\u2019s idea was based upon the c: of Mrs.Lucy Stone, the prominent suiiragist, who his never taken the name of her husband, Dy.Henry Blackwell, The tradition thai Spaim was the laud of the ian, and thal all other people were bunglers in Îts us, is disproved by some interesting Jap:nese fan lore col- iected by Mrs.Salwey, a member oi the Societe Sinico-Japonaise oi Paris.Jap- &uese Warriors are a-customed to go forth in battle with an immense jan as a shield.What a boy attains his manhood he is presented with a fan.Betrothals are signalized by an interchange of fans.Cake is handed upon tans at tea time, and & fan is used to blow the dire.The fan is used as a sort of target, and butterilies and fireflies are caught on fans.In fact, there is no occasion in Japan life where the fun i enot thd most conspicuous feature.In these days, when typhus and chol- eru are abroad in tbe land, it is interesting to read of Mrs.Gladstone\u2019s practical philanthrophy during the ep- idemice of 1866 in England.She took au empty house in Clapton, where she lodged the little wails left orphans by the plague.She raised a fund of $25, 000 to provide for their needs, and she expended it s0 wisely that she kept them in comfort.In return the children almost idolized her, and at her visits to the home they surrounded her and clung to her from the time she entered the door.Is Sorry He Is Not Married.James Whitcomb Riley, the \u201cHoosier poet,\u201d told a San

\u2018cannot tell whether a sentence is wright or wrong.The only way I judge is whether it seems right or not.\u201d Of the holy estate of matrimony the poet, who is now 38, said: \u201cIt shocks ine that I am not married; why, a man without wife and children enjoys no life.Marriage is the poetry of existence, that is the only way to life.All the rest is artificial.\u201d If Mr.Riiey did not get a

carefully recapitulated them.The question before me was as follows: It is, of course, as yet impossible to say who committed the murder, but it is worth! while to take either of these two females, and work her out as a possibic \u201ccase?\u201d I put the old lady on one side for the moment.Her be- havoir durin gthe scene\u2014her whole per- sonality\u2014seemed to preclude the idea of her being a murdress.There was only one serious point against her.It was not so much her reluctance to having the bux opened, as the cord would account for that, but it Was ile fact oi my Laving heard her own daughter say to her in an undertone,\u2014\u20181l told you so, but you would have that rope put round in London.If is the very thing to excite suspicion.\u201d But even (hose words might have been used with a general meaning: and, at the worst, it scemed most unlikely that the mother would ever prove to be any- a faire more than an acéessory aiter the ted.3 But the daughter?There appearad to be a good deat more reason to distrust the daughter.She was, as I have said, à dark, impressive-looking girl, with plenty of character in her jac», and did not look the kind of person who would draw back for a trifle.Still, one does not soon accuse à harmless young lady traveling witn her mother, of the most terrible of crimes, But then.few young ladies travel with corpres in their trunks.The young lady\u2019s anxiety not to have the box opened had been extremely marked.Natural in itself, perhaps, it had, under the circumstances, become suspicious.And another item, in addition to this, appeared of still greater importance.When summoned to ob:y, she had refused the key, \u2019 Shor wos we duubt ii.my mind thai | the key she had profiered was the wrong one.She bad refused the key.What reason could she have for doing so, unless she was auxious to prevent the opening of the, box at any cost, and expected the oîficiais to give way, and coutent themselves with some other article of luggage ?She had reiterated that the key was the right one.It evidently was not.She had told a lie.1 have moticed, during my brief detective career, and I have found the remark reps-*ed by collaegues of far greater experience, that, when you find any onc willing boldly to speak or act a lie, you may safely presume the possibility\u2014 not more than the possibility, mind you\u2014 oi every other erime.He who can lic may kiil.Everything pointed to the conclusion that the youug lady\u2014Miss Simpkinson 1 supposed she called horseli\u2014was perfectly well aware ol the straug: contents 0: the box.And this in itseif, surely Appeared suificiently remarkable.So much beirg admitted, everything became possible.Stiil, 1 could not persuade mysell that Miss Simpkinson was the actual mur- diss.Intuitions and impressionas, i rightly controlled (ah, there's the rub :) go a long way towards making a good detective.1 had an intuition that Mise Simpkinson would not prove to be the person who bad done the deed.although it must remain evident that she was in some manner connected with it.In what mauner time must show.The whole mystery, you will say, was no business of mine.1 do not hesitate to admit that.I lad no right to inquire into it, and but little opportunity of doing so, but I feit inexplicably drawn towards it all the same.1 eould not keep my thought oil that scene in the custom-house.The thin, old face, with its stitring eyes, se-mod tv look out at me from ail the shop windows.Who killed the poor old womau ?Why was she killed?1 fell thay I must occupy myself with the subject, whether 1 wished to or not.CHAPTER IV.THE TWO DUBERTS.I have said thaiyl had but iittle opportunity of investigating the matter.To teil the truth, I bad just une chauve the meiest chauve, OÎ finding out something more about it.Some months ago I had come into contact with a Parisian comuissaire oi police in the course of my professional duties.My empioye.s ulways selected we for Contiuentat work, because vi my hav- well iu ing learnt 1'renth thoroughly my youth.1 led boca sear to Paris about à case of breach of confidence.and, finding mysell obiizel to work together with Mousieur Vub.ru (that was the commissary\u2019s name), I had ben cu- abled to do him a triiling service.1 had wot seen tim since, but I resoived to cali on him now.There was but little possibility of his being, able to help me in any way, only you uever cau know.{ 1 found my potieu oificer in his little office near tuo Pantheon.That was where Iris district ny.le was vvidentiy most delighted wo se: me, though pev- haps a little eilusive for an Emglish- man\u2019s taste.He kuew nothing as yet o {what had occurred at the Gard du Nord a couple of hours ago.1 cold bin irank- ly that i wus anxious to follow up the discovery, and added that perhaps the Frensh Government might be nble to turn my unexpected prosence to account.Aud now good luck beiriended me.But no, that is saying wo much.Ifor surely there was nothing remarkable in the fact that Mousieur Dubert, though he found him outside the case altogether, should know of brother oificers who would naturally be in it.Ouly, as it happened, the commissary of the quarter directly cou- cerned was, he told me, a relation of his.I don\u2019t sce that this made much differ- ference in my favor, after all.I forget now whether the man was a brother or a cousin.I fancy he must have be:n à cousin, but, at all events, the name was the same.My Monsieur Dubert was Leon, and the commissary up at the station was Francois.4ly friend immediately offered to take me up to see his cousin\u2014if cousin it was, He was on duty.for hulf-an-hour longer, during which I had to curb my impatience as best I might, aud amuse Myself by observing the numerous little formalities and punctilios of French police service.They are capital policemen, all the same, especially the gendarmes, aud the sévvice de surete.The half hour came to an end, and Monsieur Dubert locked up his desk.We got into a cab, and drove the long dis- taute up into the north of the city.Aud there, in à similar little office, we found Monsieur Francois.He kaew enough about the discovery.you may be sure.All that evening he had heard of nothing else, spoken of nothing else, thought of nothing else.Ha was a taikable, excitable man, not the best material for a police officer, 1 should have thought.Jut one is often very much mistaken in judgments of that nature.On this occasion he was, I believe especially excited on account of the importance and difficulties of the half- foreign case.Of course he spoke no language but is own\u2014French ofiicials, like our English ones, never do\u2014and tbe indies in arrest being foreigaers, the box having come irom abroad, the whole investigation was complicated with foreign matter.His interpreter, he complained, had proved inudequate.He was all the more willing to accept of such assistance as I could offer.1t turned oui to be even less than I had hoped.He began by telling us how matters stood at that moment.The older lady, it appeared, had noi yet recovered consciousness.She was delirious and had been removed to the infirmary by the advice of the medical man connected with the \u201cCommissariat.\u201d The commissaire did not believe that she would prove to be seriously impiicated in the case.The young lady and the maid had undergone à épreliminary examination.As for the maid, she evidently knew nothing about the whole matter.As for the young lady, she evidentiy, knew a great deal.The maid had not been able even to identify the deceased, whom she positively affirmed never to have sven be- riore in her lije.From her evidence two points had been made clear, nevertheless.1.That the deceased had not been In company oi the Simpkinsons during the time immediately preceding the muvder, as their maid did not recognize Ler.2.That the black box was Miss Simp- kinson's property, for the maid bad identified the box.Miss Simpkinson\u2019s examination had naturally been ol much greater interest.Mousieur Francois Dubert obligingly showed me his proces-verbal.Never mind whether he ought to have done so: he wus glad enough to think that I could help him in the business.Miss Simpkinson\u2019s behavior certainly was peculiar, amd altogether precluded the pos-ibility of her compet juno.en.e.She had answered one-hail © the questions put to her, and reiured to answer the other half.She had coufessed readily enough that her, name and her mother 5 owas \u2018Orr-Simpkiason.\u201d as indicated ou the boxes, and that they had left T.ondon on that morning, after having spent the might at a private hotel.But when questioned as to her regular nluce of abode, or her whereabouts on the preceding day, she suddenly refused kQ ÆD/y.Ahen she bad meensidered ber \u2014 her decision, and subsequently gave her neeurnte address at Tooting, adding that she came up to the hotel with her mother the day before, so as to be nearer the station in the moruing.The mnid, on L-iug recalled, had upset this latter state- went in spiie of vehement signe from her young mistress, and had informed the commissary that the ladies had been -pouding the last threz weeks together at Southend.and that it was from South- nd, and not from Tooting, they had come np to London.It now cawe out, Also, that the maid had not been with them during this time, but had joined them that morning at the station, coming from the Tooting house.This might \u201cxplain tue fact oi her recognizing the murdered indy.At any rate\u2014this conclusion seemed cerrtain\u2014>Miss Simpkinson knew who the dead woman was, and the maid did not.\u201cAnd oh, dear, Miss,\u201d the maid had eaid, bursting into tears, \u2018you know as it's the Gospel truth I'm toiling, and why don't you send for Mr.Harvey 2\" After that the commiswary\u2019s tome had crown sterner, and Miss Simpkinson\u2019s manner yet more refractory.Miss Simp- xinson had acknowledged, howevrr, that the box was undoubtedly hers.And the key.she said, was hers also.A towe! had been found in the box.Was the towel hers?\u201cNo.\u201d Did she «new, whose it might jgssibly be?She could not say.It was marked with the letters *E.M :\" had she puy idea what same those letters could stand for?She refused to answer.The en of the dockased had been \u2018ound to bear the ene letters; it war arobable, therefore, that the towel had belonged to her.Could Miss Simpkin- son identify the deceased?\u201cYes.\u201d I started when I reached this point \u2018nthe proves-verbal, and yet, after all, t was no more than might be expected.But I started yet more when I read the uxt {wo lines.\u201cWould she do so?\u201d \u201cNo.It had boen impossible to get any more out of her.Threats and entreaties had alike proved vain, The commissary had \u2018losed the preliminary inquiry in despair and the English young lady had been sent to the depot on the charge oi yurder of a person unknown, The commissary\u2019s mind was made up on the subject.I have only onc charge against Continental criminal procedure, but it is a serious one.It loes not ive the accused, as it secs to me, & xhost of a chance.Once arrested, he ws pronounced guilty immediately, and henceforth judges and prosecutors have but one object to bully or cheat him into confessing his crime.I have often heard intelligent foreigners\u2014my Moun- siour Dubert for one\u2014admit this fuct and deplore it.Un this occasion, however, Leon bu- bert joined with his cousin in suspecting Miss Nimpkinson.It only remained to qe seen in how far she had accomplices, or Was herself, perhaps, but an acecs- sory for there could uot be the slight- at doubt, they were agreed, that she was very seriously implicated.1 admitted they were right.They summed vp all the items against her, and they cer tainly made out a very heavy Dill.She had been aware from the very first of the horrible contents of the box, which, jor some reason or other, she was piloting out of the kingdom.Why had she traveled with it?Probably to bring the dead body where it.could be buried or abandoned with less fear of recognition.She had evidently trusted to chance, the abundance of her 1uggage, her own powers of persuasion, the cord, the lost kéy\u2014to all these things together in her dope of avoiding attention, and it was only by a cembination of fatalities, and the ungracious obstinacy ol the officials, that her plan had besn frustrated.So much was plain to the Frenchman as well as to myself.It was furthermore certain that she knew about the murder, and that the name of the victim was no secret to her.She had striven to misiead M.Dubert.altogether with regard to her stay in Southend.She had admitted that the box in which the body was found was hers\u2014her maid had proved that besides \u2014and she had refused any jniormation with regard to tho towel it contained.The maid, by-the-by, had also ben questioned about the towel, and from her evidence it had become certain that it did mot belong, and could not have belonged to Mrs.Simpkinson\u2019s lineu stores.My \u2018irst impression had becn that the letters might have been added to purposely confuse, but this was, of course, removed when I learned from M.Francois Dubert that the murdered woman\u2019s linen wae marked in the same, manner.The towel had belonged to her.To be continued.The first clectrical storage battery is believed to have been the ordinary tabby cat.\u2014Somerville Journal.BIRTHS.KELLY\u2014On January

and among a certain portion of the population, tail-twisting is effective, although the last Presidential elections would seem to indicate that even in New York tail-twisting is much less effective than formerly.But outside of the professional politicians\u2014in the great mass of educated people, who are giving covidence of a warmer and healthier interest in their political institutions than they have shown in the past\u2014there is a growth of the \u2018\u2018sense of kinship and the reverence for our common past.\u201d to use Mrs.Green's ad- eme HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF\u2014THE ROBBER BARONS OF THE MIDDLE AGES AND THE ROBBER BARONS OF TO-DAY.mirable words, which is well worth noting.Ore does not need to converse with edacated Americans to observe the improved tone which even a few years have brought about.It is patent to every reader of the newspapers ; at least of those newspapers whose political affinities do not oblige them to exclude every generous American thought or action from their columns.The death of Lord Tennyson evoked genuine expressions of feeling from nearly the whole of the American press.It was treated not merely as the death of a great poet, but the death of an English poet, in whose work the American people felt a kind of claim.Speaking of - England's greatest poet, Carlyle said fifty years ago : ** This King Shakspeare, does not he shine, in crowned sovereignty, over us all, as the noblest, gentlest, yet strongest of rallying-signs ; indestructible ; really more valuable in that point of view than any other means or appliance whatsoever ?Wo can fancy him as radiant.aloft over all the nations of Englishmen, a thousand years hence.From Paramatta, from New York, wheresoever, under what sort of Parish-Constable soever, English men and women are, they will say to one another: \u2018Yes, this Shakspeare is ours; we produced him, we speak and think by him; we are of one blood and kind with im.\u2019 The most common-sense politician, too, if he pleases, may think of that.\u201d (Heroes and Hero Worship.) Another fact may be noted.If one- sided, that is to say, American-sided, British histories have been used in some American common schools, it is surely significant, on the other hand, that, popular as John Richard- Green\u2019s \u201c\u2018History of the English People\u201d is in England, it has had, as Mrs.Green assures us, a still greater number of readers on this side of the Atlantic.Indeed, one\u2019s view of human nature, or rather, let us say, of the English nature, must be contracted if one has to believe that the greatness of the English character\u2014in its tolerance, its generosity and its true spirit of freedom\u2014cannot be developed by Englishmen in a great country and under free institutions, simply because over that country waves another flag.But side by side with the growth of a \u2018sense of kinship\u201d in the United States, there has been in Canada during the last few years, a development of anti-Ameri- can feeling, fanned, not by a class corresponding to the word politicians, but by the very highest of our political leaders, and finding its chief, if not only, support with those who consider themselves among the most influential of the community, Excluding the shrewder ones who fear that a good feeling between the two countries might prove injurious to their pet monopoly, there is still a fairly large class of sincere people who really believe that the first principle of loyalty is to hate the Americans.But there is, we hope and believe, a still larger class of Canadians, firm in the hope of a united Canada and in the endeavor to make it a freer and more worthy heritage, whose loyalty to their own country suffers no loss, but rather gains, by the free course of generous feelings towards their neighbors.It is not opening the question of political union to say that the more the Dominion advances in moral and intellectual development, the stronger will be the common interests and bonds between the two countries, in literature, in science, and in social progress.It is difficult, indeed, to imagine a broadly educated Canadian giving voice to the ill-feeling towards things American which is at present fashionable in certain quarters.Longfellow was not a great poet, tried by several standards; but, not only in Canada but in England, Englishmen have thanked him for first unlocking for them the treasures of English poetry.Honored names in science, like Asa Gray and Dana, are familiar to every Canadian schoolboy ; while social reformers have appeared whose names will go down to posterity with those of Howard and Wilberforce.These are bonds of a deeper union than the political\u2014a union that should deepen in every portion of the English, speaking world\u2014and it is a question if the action -of our Canadian Tory leaders in fanning discord is nob as reprehensible: and contemptible as anything that could be done against the security of English freedom.Union of Congregationalists Presbyterians.and Less than two years ago an International Congregational Council was held in London, England.Two years before that the fourth Council of the Presbyterian Alliance, now commonly known as the Pan-Presbyterian Council, was held in the same place.\" Presbyterian and At the time of the: Presbyterian Council there were sounds in the air that were interpreted as prophetic of closer relationship between the two great religious denominations, the Presbyterians and Congregationalists, In 1891 these sounds were more distinctly heard, and to one behind the scenes, at the time of the Congregational Council, there were known to be matters preparing, and matters were presented on the public platform, that indicated a significantly fraternal feeling between the representatives of the two bodies just mentioned.Dr.Donald Fraser, of the Marylebone district in Loudon, once a minister in Montreal, thon one of the senior divines of the English Presbyterian Church, was invited to address the Congregationalists at their council.In the light of things which have just occurred in Ontario and to which refedence is about to be made, Dr.Fraser's words have a significance.He said : \u201cI remember that St, Paul wrote to the Philippians, \u2018Salute evory saint in Christ Jesus.AN the saints salute you.Pray mark the order.Do not wait till the saints salute you and thon begin your salutations in response, but happy is the man that begins.I dé not know who began the mutual salutations of the Presbyterians and Congregationalists, but Itrust that these will go on and increase in Cordiality, untii such time asthe Lord may show us how to merge into one.I rejoice to think that we are all coming to this, that we are not afraid of combination.I know your horror of anything like tyrannical government, but the combination of Spirit-guided and divinel y- taught Christians is surely for wisdom and for strength.Combination is to my mind @ mark of civilization itself and it is certainly one of the powerful factors in moral and social problems.Let us hope that all this is just one of many signs of the enlargement of the sympathy of modern Evangelical Christendom and of the wider way of looking at men and things and possibilities that is becoming the habitual characteristic of this age.We do not want the wiggling particularism of past times which has separated so many who should never have been scparated,and which has such a tendency, though there have been great men in it,to make great men small.What we want is, may I say itt some larger sympathy, somo wider arm, tome nobler horizon that may make even small men great and that may help to make us all, under God's blessing, wiser and kinder, more loving, more fitted to serve the great objects that are rising every day beforo our eyes,\u201d Just what may be the outcome of them it is early in the day to predict, but the Christian world has taken note of the advances of a number of well known Congregationalists to the representatives of the Presbyterian church in the Dominion.The Congregationalists were not officially present before the Presbytery of Toronto at its last meeting.The gentlemen made it plain that they spnke for themselves alone, although a vein running through that address indicated that the outstretched hand for closer union with the Preshyterian church in Canada was not contrary to the wishes of the other members of the body.Our readers will read with interest the following sentences from the Congregational deputation : \u201cWe need not remind you that the presont churches of tho Congregational order, together with the Presbyferlan bodies which your church represents, emerged alike from the struggle known as the Protestant Reformation.Moreover, that the symbols known as the Westminster Standards woro the result of united counsels, participated in by both independent divines.It is well known that those symbols remained the recognized standards of the Congregational Churches of New England, and that they form still the ground of the trust in many title deeds of Congregational churches in old England.We venture also to say that those same symbols in reality arc as faithfully retained by the Congregational churches as by thoso of the Presbyterian order.For proof of this we refer to the statement of doctrine put forth first by a committee of the National Council of the Congregational Churches of the United States and adopted by the Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec at its meeting in Ottawa, A.D, 1886.We desire to institute no comparisons, but to prevent misconception, would rofer to facts well known in further support of this statement.Tho Unitarianism of New England must no more be laid to the change of Congregational polity than the sane change of doctrinal views in the Presbyterian churches of England.Moreover among divines and writers of the present genoration neither side can claim a monopoly of either conservativism or of departure from acknowl edged standards.If thero is substantial oneness of cssential doctrine polity ought to be of secondary import.In the constantly growing liberty accorded to individual congregations in the Presbyterian body and the manifest seeking for closer fellowship among Congregational churches may be found a basis upon which ultimately a closor union may be perfected for the now, in many cases, rival constituencies.Wo desire and for ourselves offer a conference with you or with such brethron as you may appoint on the subject of union.If we must remain apart it is well that we should know why, that the Christian churches should know why.If there is no valid new testament ground for thedivision, you, with us,are equaily desirous that the unity of one faith should be made more manifest.We believe the days for exclusive claim for either of our polities as the express patiorn of the Apostolic church to be passed; life, not form, wo own as the all embracing essential, We desire to show our readiness to heal another breach in the Lord's Zion, and thus address you.\u201d In this city, eigliteen years ago, the four branches of Presbyterianism then existing in Cunada were forned into a union, which has been a growing power since that time.We may well look on with interest in expectation of another union which the message above quoted from encourages us to view in the future.NOTES ABOUT TOWN.BEAVER HALL DISCUSSES MATTERS OF LOCAL INTEREST.The Proposed Change in the Pastorship of Olivet Bantist Church-The City Hall Demonstration, HURCH changes have not been infra- quent in Montreal during the last years, and now another important one is promised if present negotiations reach a satisfactory conclusion.It was with much pleasure that I read the announcement a few days ago in the papers that my old friend, Rev.W.B.Hinson, of Moncton, N.B., was to be the future pastor of Olivet Baptist Church in this city.It now transpires through a letter from Mr.A- A.Ayer that the report was premature, as he is only to supply the pulpit ef that church a week from tu-morrow.I sincerely hope with Mr.Ayer that Olivet church may be fortunate enough to secure the services of that popular young preacher.I well remember wher Mr.Hinson became pastor of the Moncton Baptist chur~h, having spent some weeks in that push., maritime railway centre when the rev.gentleman took charge there, coming from Summerside, P.EL, to supply the pulpit vacated by the Rev.G.O.Gates, who went from Moncton to St.John.Since that period his congregation has been given many evi dences of his abilities as a successful minister of the Gospel.Rev.Mr.Hinson has a striking and convincing style of oratory.He may be also included in that cluss of preachers of the progressive stamp.His sermons have a charm a their clearness and directness of application which appeals perhaps more strongly to the young, but still wins the admiration of auditors of any age.I feel perfectly safe in redicting that should Mr.Hinson locate in Montreal Olivet church will not be large enough to hold the congregations who will want to hear him.On Tuesday afternoon I was a somnewhat amused spectator of that grotesque demonstration in the City Council chamber, and the scene in Jacques Cartier Square, in front of the City Hall.Perhaps never before has that weather stained statue of Nelson looked down on such a motley gathering.And on the floor of the chamber and in the galleries it is doubtful if there ever before congregated an audience so intensely earnest, and interested in a cause.It was a clever ruse on the part of the Street Railway company, if they were responsible for it, to enlist in their cause a small army of men whose bread and butter directly depended on the issue.The public is well acquainted with the issue at stake: to city carters their business and the safety of carrying it on, and to the laborers their oo- cupation as street cleaners for the railway company.There seems to be no doubt as to the outcome of the dispute in these days when capital is omnipotent.So far as the citizen is concerned it is very probable that a person living in the suburbs will have a feeling favorable to the winter electric cars, while those who are the happy possez- sors of sleighs will deprecate the injury inflicted to the stroets, Civic affairs received some little attention, from the humorous standpoint, in the last number of Grip.A.G.Racey, who has of late been doing some good work for that paper, has two illustrated hits which shows that, like my Uncle, he has an ides or two about Montreal matters.One represents His Worship Mayor McShane very hard at work pushing a baby sleigh containing a very much over-grown child labelled \u201c3rd Term.\u201d The illustration is given this description: \u201cOut for an airing: a daily scene in Montreal.\u201d The other illustrates the following remarks supposed to be on a Montreal street: Citiven (in loud whisper)\u2014*\u201cH1.Get off the street quick!\u201d Stranger\u2014\u2018 What for?\u201d Citizen\u2014\u201c What fer?Great Scott! Here's the management of the street railway ooming.\u201d Rucently a committee of city aldermen returned from New York, where they had been investigating the wire pole nuisance and how best to get rid of it.Perhaps if they were to go to China they might get some valuable pointers, as there are no telegraph poles there.A description of thie nineteenth century phenomenon, \u2018which I saw in a paper not long ago, says it is not because there are no telegraph lines, nor yet because there is not wood suitable for use as poles.Strangely enough, the reason is purely religions.\u201d \"The Chinese worship their dead fathers and grandfathers, and regard the recting places of their re mains as so sacred that they deem ita sacrilege to allow a shadow to be cast upon their graves.When the linemen of the first \u201chinese telegraph compnnies began operations, they were greatly embarrassed in their undertaking by crowds of inhabitants who followed them about, and with the most frightful blasphemies cut down the poles as fust as they were erected.For some time no explanation could be obtained, but at last the working parties discovered that in the more thickly settled districts of the celestial empire graves were everywhere to be found, and scarcely a pole could be erected anywhere but that at some time of the day it cast its shadow on a grave.The difficulty was insuperable; and the Chinese Government, anxious as it was to render assistance, stood powerless.So all wires went ninderground, and it is said the system proved perfectly efficient.° BEAVER HALL.i \u201cI am very anxious! to play by note,\" said the young man who gave the professor an T O U for piano lessous.\u2014 Washington Star.out them for KS SILKS, TO THE TRADE.\u2014\u2014 JUST OPENED A most beautiful range of ART SILKS for drapery and decoration purpoees in all leading art shades and designs, ORDERS SOLICITED.FILLING LETTER ORDERS A SPECIALTY.John Macdonald & Co, Wellington and Front Streets E , TORONTO Fred BLood's XXX Dublin Stout Bottled by Blog, Wolfe & Co., Liverpool, in magnificent condition.Both Meat and Drink.20 barrels Blood's Dublin Stout, each ¢ dozen quarts, $2.35 Ber dozen, 30 \u2018.arrels Blood\u2019s Dublin Stout, each 8 dozen pints, $1.45 per dozen.FRASER, VIGER & CO, THE ROYAL BAKING POWDER, Fresh Stock Just to Hand.100 dozen 1 1b, tins Royal Baking Powder.50 dozen à lb, tins Royal Baking Powder.FRASER, VIGER & CO.Gongonzola Cheese, Camembert Cheese, Brie Cheese, and the celebrated Viger Cream Cheese, fresh supplies of one and al FRASER, VIGER & CO.Clam Broth.Clam Bouillon.Burnham's Bouillon of Clam, in pint bottles, Burnham's Bouillon of Clam.in quart bottles, FRASKR, VIGER & CO.Fresh Supplies of Game.Wild Turkeys, extra Jarge, Choice Quail and Long Point Ducks, mallards and blacks.FRASER, VIGER & CO.Cerealine Flakes.Virginia Hominy, Virginia Samp, Finest Carolina Rice, eto., oto FRASER, VIGER & CO.Moosewood Bitters.Moosewood Bitters, 50 casos Fellow\u2019s Celebrated Moosewood Bitters, now in store.FRASER, VIGER & CO., Sole Agents.Canned Vegetables, ASSORTED DOZENS.Tomatoes, Corn, Peas and Beans, $1 assorted, equal quantities of cach beat brands packed in Canada.We handle only reliable goods, CANNED VEGETABLES.Tomatoes in 3 lb.cans, $1.10 per dozen, finsst extra quality.21b.cans, finest Ontario pack, Sugar Corn, $1.10 per dozen, Ear oy June Poax, 2 1b.cans, selected uality, packed at Lhe Bay of Quinte, $1.10 per dozen, Btring and Butfer Beans, 2 1b.cans, the finest packed in Canada, extra quality, $L10 per ozen.FRASER, VIGER & CO.MAINE SUCCOTASH, - MAINE CORN, MAINE LIMA BEANS.The.Stateof Maine is renowned throughout the Union for its Sugar Corn and Beans, We import the very best alne Pack.Webb's Cream Sugar Corn, 2 1b.cans, 20c per tin, $2.25 per dozen.Webb's Cream Lima Beans, 2 1b.cans, 20c per tin, $2.25 per dozen.Webb's Cream Succotash, 2 1b, cans, (corn and 8), 20c per tin, $2.25 per dozen, FRASER, VIGER & CO.100 CASES.Genuine Vichy Water.From the Springs owned by the French Government.- Vichy Water Celestins, Vichy Water Grande Grille, Vichy Water Haute Rive, .Vichy Water Hopital.FRASER, VIGER & CO, Fraser, Viger & Co's Teas-Black and Green.Teas to suit the purse and palate of all.Knglish Breakfast Tea.80c per pound.English Breakfast Tea, 35c per pound, English Breakfast Tea, 45c per pound, English Breakfast Tea, 60c per pound.English Breakfast Tea, 75c per pound.English Breakfast Tea, 80c per pound.The Lordly Karavan Tea, the very finest imported, 80c per pound.Fine Japan Tea, 25¢ per pound.Choice Japan Tea, 30e per pound.Very Fine Japan Tea, 40c per pound.Finost Japan Tea, 60c per pound, Finest Formosa Oolong Tea, 75c per pound.Fine Young Hyson Tea, 0c per Ib.Fincst Young Hyson Tea, Uc per pound.Fino Gunpowder Tca, 75¢ per pound.Finest Scented Orange Pekoe Tea, 756 per a.pou FRASER, VIGER & CO, er dogen kind, The Fraser, Viger & Co's COFFEES.Breakfast Cream Coffee.40¢ per pound.Fine Breakfast Java Coffee, 40c per pound.Finest Mocha Coffee, dôc per pound.The Royal Dutch Coffee, in 2 Ib.tins, prepared by tho Beach Process, 90c per tin.Chyloong's China Ginger, Chow-Chow Crystallized Ginger, Bastiani\u2019s Preserved Singapore Whole ineapples in tins, etc., now in Stock.Fresh Goods.50 Cases Chyloong's Canton Ginger, in large ars.Chyloong's Canton Ginger, in half jars.Chyloong\u2019s Canton Ginger, in quarter jars.Chyloong's Canton Stem Ginger, the very finest, in half jars.Chyloong's Crystallized Canton Ginger, in 1 1b.tins, Chyloong's Crystallized Canton Ginger, in 10 1b.tins.Chyloong's Canton Chow-Chow, in half jars, Also Bastiani's Singapore Whole Hineapplos, in3 1b.tins, the very finest goods of the kin packed.;

Chicago Markets.Messrs.Meredith & O\u2019Brien received the following from Messrs, Lamson Bros.& Co., over their private wire : Chicego, Jan.20.\u2014The unloading process which prevailed so extensively yesterday at the decline, continued the early part of the session to-day.It gave the market such a weak appearance that some of the best floor traders appear to have taken the short side.At about 12 o'clock the situation in the pit seemed to change.Offerings became very light, the crowd still remained quite bearish, but buyers could not execute any reasonably good sized orders without springing the market.This, to us, is good evidence that buying for investment late yesterday, and a good ortion of the session to-dav, has been very iberal, and the wheat sold has either been absorbed by new parties or by some very strong parties, who are credited with holding large lines.The export buying wus liberal, and the market closes wiih uppear- ances favorable to holders.Corn is very strong, and notwithstanding the break in wheat held its own, closing fully 4c higher than yesterday.In fact the demand for all kinds of coarse grain is exceedingly good.Some of the large speculators from the provision pit have undoubtedly increased their hold.inge of May, and we will be very much mistaken if it does not become very active in a short time.Oats were also quite strong and appear to be attracting the attention of investors.Pork was again strong and advanced fully 26c per barrel and lard 10c per 100.The short interest which appears to be large in May lard is being severely panished, and unless hogs become more plentiful they may suffer further griei.The country dealers in meats all bought heavily of ribs the last day or two, which may make the stocks show quite light on the first of next month.Messrs.Lamontagne, Clarke & Co., have received the following from Messrs.Coun- Our exports from July lst have been 115,000,000 bushels, against 136,000,000 bushels for the same period last year.The interior receipts of wheat since July 1st have been 205,000,000 bushels, against 180,000,000 bushels last year.These figures show beyond any doubt whatever that the farmers must be wel cleaned out of wheat, as last year's crop was 115,000,000 bushels larger than this year\u2019s, and we claim, as we have said before, that these facts will tell a little later on.The statement of the Chicago Trade bulletin of the available amount of breadstuffs in this country, afloat for Europe and European countries, compares as follows: Total afloat Jan.1, 1893, 30,600,000 bushels, against 35,000,000 last year.Total uropean supply Jan.1st, 1893, 57,000,000 bushels, against 70,200,000 last year.Total American supply Jan.1st, 1893, 149,500,000 bushels, against 95,000,000 bushels last year.This shows about 37,000,000 bushels greater supply this year than last year, which is more than offset by the increase in interior receipts and the decrease in exports.Reports of damage to the growing crop are beginning to come In from the West.We think it is too early to get any reliable reports on damage, but at the same time the extreme cold weather has likely had some ill effect upon it,and we expect to huve more pronounced reports later on of damage done.There is evidently something wrong with the French crop because their markets reflect it.The stock of wheat in Holland on Jan, 1st was only 650,000 bush against 1,500,000 bush at the same time last year.Corn has ruled strong most of the week, bu.slightly affected by the anti- option bill agitation.We feel strong on corn, and advise buying it every time it falls in price to any extent.Provisions continue to be manipulated and we have nothing to say further than that expressed last week, to steer clear of manipulated provision deals.The.export demand for provisions continues good while the run of hogs is very fair, and good prices are obtained for the same.Movements of Grain and

firm one.In Chicago to-day values were stronger, and although May pork opened at $18.85, the closing figure was $18.97, this being the highest reached during the day.The local demand is still very small, and no change is noted from over recent reports.In dressed hogs no improvement is noted, in the way of lower values, as we still hear of sales been transacted at yesterday\u2019s figures.Receipts of hogs were very light in Chicago to-day, being 18,000 head, against a much larger number yesterday.Regarding the local trade about $8.80 to §8.15 will about cover the market, We

hardly experienced to-day, and although farmers and buyers were out in large numbers, trade generally was of a very slow character.Farmers did not carry any great veriety of stock, and outside of oats, buckwheat and small quantities of poultry and produce, their sleighs were almost bare of anything else.Oats were by no means scarce, and as the demand for this grade was only limited, most dealers were willing to cut prices from 75c a bag downwards.À fair quantity of buckwheat was for sale and generally offered at about 81.10 per bag.In grain nothing else was offered.Vegetables were in large enough supply to furnish wants, which were not large.The supply of fancy stock, such as cab- 43c ; confectioner\u2019s ¢* A\u2019 4 9-16 to 4jc ; cut- Joaf and crushed, 5 5-16 to 5ic; powdered, 4 15-16 to 53c ; granulated, 4 11-16 to bc.Syrups have ruled rather quieter during the week and prices on the whole are slightly lower.The taking off of 2ic per gallon duty from American syrups has made that reduction in the price here, but at 19c to 2lc there is little demand reported,although some sales have been made between these limits.Canadian syrups are quoted 13c to 2c.Molasses has not moved toany great extent, but with small stocks on hand holders are firm in their ideas of values, and 34c for Barbadoes is the figure.: In teas there has been a good business done and prices for lower grade Japans still show an upward tendency.New York and Chicago dealers are buying inthis city quite largely, which is making a hole inthe small supplies held.Common Japaus are quoted l4c to 15c; medimn, 164c to 17¢; fine, 2lc to 22¢, and best quality, 2Gc to 30c.Blacks are in fair demand at unchanged figures.Coffee has ruled fairly active, especially Rio, which seems to be in the best demand.Prices are given as follows: Rio, 18c to 20c; Maracaibo, 18%c to 19%c; Jamaica, 18c to 20c; Java, 25c to 27¢, and Mocha, 26c to 28c.Dried fruit does not show any material change since our last report, but prime Valencias are in good demand, and command top prices.The large supplies of trashy stufl before referred to is still causing à good deal of trouble, and 1s selling from 4c downwards.Choice Valencias are quoted at 5c, and good seconds 4kc.Currants are in small demand at unchanged figures, 5c to 5$c being the value for barrels, 54e half barrels, and jc for boxes.Fuel.* The unprecedented spell of cold weather existing all through the country has Leen a harvest for coal dealers, and from nearly all points reports come in telling of short supplies.In Boston prices have been raised 50c to 75c per ton, New York stocks are small, and from the Pennsylvania mines the news comes that the extreme cold prevents men from working, thereby limiting the eutput considerably.In our own city an enormous amount of coal has been used and winter stocks are rapidly going down.The effect of this will not be seen until spring, when replenishing orders will be in much earlier than usual, Prices have not changed as yet, although if the cold continues and prices go up in the States we must look for an advance here.We quote anthracite egg and furnace £6.00, stove and chestnut $6.25, soft coal, Lower Province, $3.25, Scotch $4 to $4.25.Wood has been in brisk demand at prices which show no change.We quote maple 86 to $7, birch $6 to $0.50, and beech $5.50 to

to the abillty of Mrs.Cora Urquhart Potter.Te says: Yon know most of the ladies who come from the ranks of society are given a place upon the stage which their ability does not entitle them to.Do you not honestly think that this is so in the case of Mrs.Potter!\u201d Undoubtedly vo.Itis quite true that Mrs.Potter's debut as a professional was marked in some degree by à small amount of sensationalism.This may have assisted in making her a well-known actress, and one who has been much talked about, but no woman could have vblained such a position es that which she now cnjoys unless she well merited it.Her performance in \u201cTherese\u201d was a remarkable piece of acting and none the less able was her work in A Wife's Folly.\u201d Murs.Potter is, in my opinion, one of the most finished artistes we have seen upon the Montreal stage for some time.+ + In view of the fact that I mentioned the teriporacy collapse of the Jupiter Company, it is only fair to give Mr.Bell\u2019s statement gs to the causes.He places the entire blame on Manager Prior, who was running the company with borrowed capital.Prior had given a number of notes, which were to be paid out of the receipts during the tour.Several of these fell due during the Chicago engagement.The payment of them might have been postponed, but Prior, finding that he would be forced out of the management, deliberately wrecked the organization, Mr.Bell says, by allowing the scenery and costumes to be attached.The gross receipts during the fourteen weeks on the road were 371,000.The business done in Chicago the week before the break up amounted to $7,832.Mr.Bell has secured the sole rights to the opera of ¢ Jupiter,\u201d and the com- pony has been reorganized under the management of James H.Palser, who at different times was the manager of Lotta and Henry Irving.New scenery and new costumes have been procured, and the interrupted tour is now being resumed.x.The return of Mr.J.H.Gilmour to the Queen\u2019s Theatre iz quite an interesting event.Mr.Gilmour's stage career has been full of the ups and downs of the theatrical life, but it would now seem that he has met that success which he so well deserves, I do not think Montrealers will need much coaxing to go and see their old townsman, and as for his play it must certainly be said that ¢ Dartmoor\u201d is a capital production.It was seen here, you will remember, under che title of \u201cDick Venables,\u201d and scored quite a bit, * The Mapleson Opera Company have been much trouble, and have arrived in New ork in a sadly

management of my theatrical contracts in the United States and Canada, I decided to make a Southern tour, On Nov.26 I received from him a list of towns he had booked, which embraced all the leading cities, I started out, nd on Dec, 17 I received a letter from Mr.Mayer wherein he sent me à new route embracing small towns.Upon remonstrating, Mr, Mayer wrote me on Dec.21 that the fault was that of another.Finding that 1 could not possibly follow the new route, with several vacant dates, and for which I had not sven received the contracts, I endeavored tn mako a new route myself, and expended $95.50 in tolegramg in trying to get it.Iex- ained the facts to the company at New Or- eans, and gave them the option of going home by rail or by sea, and they preferring the latter route I despatched

siur on the well-known comedian, Digby Bell.In the opinion of any critic wh se iticlsms are worthy of being considered, Digby 11 takes precedence over any comedian at present on the American stage, and who compares most favorably with those stars of the old world, Messrs.Fred.Leslie and Arthur Roberts.As the public, that fickle jade, is sometimes unappreciative of true merit and gives success to mediocrity, so, perhaps, for a time, Bell may be unsuccessfu] financially in his starring tour, but I will venture to wager that whén oblivion shall have over &@ score of alleged artists whom you have persistently and fulsomely boom:ed in your columns, the name of Bell, when spoken, will call up memories of that de- Heious trio of Ameriogn comedians, Raymond, Florence and Bell.Iam in position to know that not for the past eight years has Bell at any time received less than $150 per week, while at, times he has received as high as .Fred Leslie, that Prince of English comedians, in speaking of Ball one day, sald: \u201cHe is the onl American comedian worth imitating\u201d whic praise alonel think counteracts any other siur that may be cast against him by a critic (3) who, while decrying true merit, would probably go into ecstacies over the acting of some Lyceum or Parc Sohmer favorite, EDWARD HYDE, This letter I received during the week.Evidently Mr.Hyde has read my reference to Digby Bell with the eyes of Mr.Jekyll.At no time have I cast any slur upon Mr, Bell, a gentieman whom Ilook upon as one of tne best of American comedians.I was sim ply finding fault with the large number of people who are coming out with what is called their \u201c own company,\u201d and who have not sufficient financial backing.Mr.Hyde evidently thinks & great deal of Mr.Bell's ability, and I don\u2019t blame him.As to being the only American comedian worth imitat- jng\u2014weil, that\u2019s not my opinion.I understand that \u2018\u2018 Jupiter\u201d is a great roduction, and that Mr.Bell

successfully when only sixteen years old.Until a comparatively recent date Signora Duse\u2019s celebrity was confined to Italy alone, but she has since played in Vienna, St.Peters- burg and Berlin

clubs, of Burlington, Vt., was a Pronounced success.It was given in the Windsor Hall last evening, and the handsome and spacious building was well filled.A large number of the McGill boys were in attendance, and assisted in the evening's entertainment by their forcible and enthusiastic manner of expressing their appreciation of some of the numbers.Me- Gill and Vermont were \u2018* all right \u201d several times.The University of Vermont Banjo club gave \u2018\u2018 Love and Beauty Waltzes\u201d in beautiful tone, after the chorus \u2018* We Meet Again\u201d had been sung in excellent style by the boys of both Vermont and McGill as an opening selection.The same club gave \u2018 Kullud Koon\u2019s Kake Walk \u201d in capital style, while the Applied Science Banjo club gave the \u201c Donald Galop,\u201d and the \u201cClub March,\u201d in first class style.The N.V.M.Glee club gave several selections in beautiful style, the tenor and bass parts being particularly well

afternoon.Dr.Campbell gave some statistics regarding the liquor traflic, and Mr.A.M.Featherstone said he fuvored prohibition.After a short evidence by Senator Murphy, the proceedings were ad- Journe.till the afternoon.Mr.J.8.Bousquet, cashier of La Banque du Peuple, considered that though excessive indulgence in liquor was an evil, yet prohibition was a dream.The tratlic, however, should be regulated by reducing the number of licenses.He did not consider the liquor traffic as at present conducted to be injurious to the business interests of the country.Rev.Edward McManus, city missionary, Was in favor of total prohibition of liquor as a beverage.He thought brewers and distillers should not be compensated in case of prohibition, as these manufacturers had already made large profits, He did not know what was the amount of capital invested in these industries.Mr.George Hague, manager of the Merchants Bank, presented a written statement regarding the effect of the liquor traffic upon business and the effect of prohibition from a commercial and financial point.From his observation he thought the people employed in the traffic wer® as sober us any other classes of the community, except of course the lower classes of bartenders, etc.Prohibition could not be passed by any Canadian Government without provision for compensation, not only for the proprietors, but also for those indirectly employed.This compensation would require $12,000,- 000 to $15,000,060.The saving in the administration of justice would not be 30 large as generally supposed.He douhted whether the evils complained of could be obviated by legislation.Only spiritual and moral agencies were capuble of fully coping with these evils.It was diflicult to understand how the deficiency in revenuearising from prohibition could be made up.Major Bond, president of the Citizens\u2019 League, described the work done by that organization, attributing to it a reduction in the number of licenses.There were no more witnesses for the present session of the commission, and an audjournment for some weeks was made.The Mayoralty.The mayoralty is not the only field in which many aspirauts

finest pianos in the world.\u201d N.Y.Piano Co., 238 St.James street, agents for Canada.Close of the Dlocesan Synod Mestings.The Diocesan Synod\u2019s final meeting was held yesterday inorning, and commenced sharp at 10.After prayers the Rev.F.H.Clayton moved the adoption of his notion, \u201cThat the status of parishes, or missions, be more clearly set forth and affirmed.\u201d This raised considerable discussion.The Rev.Mr.Norton thought this matter was outside the jurisdiction of the Synod, and the debate was closed by Rev.Mr.Clayton withdrawing his motion.A motion was carried to establish as soon as possible a home for female immigrants in Montreal, as there is a large field for this work every year in connection with the church avork in England.The \u2018\u201c Quebec plan\u201d was brought up and Mr.Walter Blake moved for the appointment of a committee to consider and report as to the advisubility of adopting 1t, or some improvement on it.Mr.Richard White, Rural Dean Longhurst, Rev.Mr.Everett aud others spoke on the subject, and Messrs.E.Judge, W.Drake, Archdeacon Lindsay, the Rev.L.N.Tucker, Dr.Butler, Dr.L.H.Davidson (convener), Rural Dean Longhurst and the Rev.E.I.Rexford were appointed as a committee to report on the matter.A vote of thanks was passed to the several officers, including the Bishop.The agsembly dispersed at 1 p.m., after singing the Doxology and hearing the benediction pronounced by the Bishop.John Ruskin Crazy.Word comes from London that John Ruskin, the most celebrated writer on art at any time, has gone hopelessly mad.It was in 1886; that the first symptom of any breaking down of his mind become apparent.At Oxford, while he was delivering a lecture, 2e suddeuly became incoherent on the platform, and greatly exercised the feelings of a sympathetic audience, From that time till now he las been usbjevt to fits of temporary insanity.Sometimes these take the form of breaking all glass within reach.Sometimes he refuses all except liquid food.The lapses have gradually been getting more frequent.and this last giving way of his brain will prove, it is feared, iinal and permanent.He is in bis seventy-third year.Ruskin began life as a rich man.and will pass out oi it a comparatively poor oue.Ie practically gave away the fortune leit to him by his father, who was un wine merchant, and to-day all his property is represented by his collection at Brentwood and the income from his books.Tht chief feature of his collection is the micsals.which nums ber, it is said, over a thousand, a} superb examples.His once peerless col- iection of pictures and drawings by Tur- aer and other musters, has been sadly broken into by donations to institutions, and by sales rendered necessary by the requirements of his charities.\u2014 The

Butter.Occasionally butter makers find the butter full of sireuks.That condition may come from the retention of portions of buttermilk in the mass of th: Lutter.The addition of a quart of water for every two gallous of cram, after the granules of butter b.gin to appear and beiore the churning is completed, will help to bring about a speedy und iull separation oi the buttermilk.When the buttermilk bas been removed the granular butter should be: wash d with cold water.In summer th» temperature of the wat r should be about 55 d grees, and in winter about 60 degrees.For the washing, the churn should be revolved a half faster than for the churning.A streaky condition of the butter somctimes r.suits from an imporivet mixture of fthe salt with the butter.IRe- working after the salt is dissolved will correet that.Tine grained salt only should be used.Th.presence ol the salt should ba preceptible to the taste, but not to the sense of touch.\u2014Prof.J.W.Robertson.A cow that does not give a paying quantity of milk is worse than useless.She lowers the average yicld of the herd; she not only does not çarn her own living but she makes the rest of the herd contribute to her support.If her owner had but the one cow, instead of giving bfm a profit she would run him into debt.It is best to aim at a high average yield for the herd, and the cow that does not closely approach that average should be disposed of.When & mew churn is purchased, if made of {pine, there is quite gpt to be a taste of ithe wood imparted to the butter.To obviate this, Hoard\u2019s Dairyman says \u2018give the churn a thorough soaking in sTrong soda water, and let butitiermilk stand in it for a few hours.This practice followed up for a few times before each churning will soon cure the difficulty.What the Pope Eats.A recent visitor at the vatican describes the appearance of Pope Leo XIII thus: The face of the pontiff is of a transparent color, with a strong nose, a large mouth and vivid eyes.It is earnest and full of repose, but frequently lit up with a smile indicative of kindliness.Under the white satin skull cap sibvery curls hang down at the sides of the head.The slight frame was clothed in a white woollen garment of exquisite soTtness of texture, neither flannel or perge or jersey, but a fabric peculiar to the pontifical robes, and manufactured exclusviely for the incumbent of St.Peter\u2019s throme.Around his shoulders his Holiness wore a cape of the same cioth, and over that a lieavy gold link chain rich with enamel and precious stones, to which was attached a large cross set with disimonds, emeralds and rubles.In the strony light the great age of the pontiif becume more appar- eit by ithe transparent.state of the flesh and the symptoms of emaciation showing in his face.The; lack of exercise in the open, and his aversion of the pleasures of the \u2018table are very evident in Leo's dppearance.I am told the Pope manages to iive oma lesser amount of

the air two, or three buzzards sailing about, just as lazy aud delightfully smooth as one could imagine, around and around in a eircie.It was not long antil several more arrived, and then 1 çouuted a half-dozen.The diew nearer from over a patch oi woods, and dropped mear the ground into the next field.ere they circled about, every now and then swooping close to the earth, and all at once one rose with a great black wiggling cord that I at once imagined must be a snake.The buzzard dropped the snake from about 15 feet up, and.then dropped right after it and brought it up again.I jumped from the fence and ran across the field over near where the battle, somewhat lopsidediy, was progressing.The hali- dozen buzzards were close together, taking turn about at the snake, carrying it aloft and then dropping it with a deadly thud.1 thought at the time that a snake could not stand many falls like that, and so.I grabbed a stick and ran near to where 1t last fell.My approach ecared them away.One bird.however, made & swoop and gathered the snake by the pack, but the beak grip was mot strong enough and the serpent fell to the ground.I reached there before the bird could swoop again and stood guard over the remains.The snake was stunned to death.It was considerably torn=a biz black snake 5 feet long and one and à half inches in thickness.I added a few blows with my club for assurance sake an,d then I walked away to sec if the buzzards would return.They had ascended high in the air, but they were still over the spot, circling arond.awaiting my departure and I drew off and sat down by the fente.Then they came; down, One took the reptiie and saiied away, closely followed by the other rive.Almond Custard.Boil in a pint of milk or cream two or three bitter almonds, a stick of cin-

was not until near the closing time that a candidate was named in opposition for Mr.James A.Cantlie, as 1st vice-president.This was Mr.Richard White, who was nominated by Mr.D.L.Lockerby.- The nominations closed at 6 o\u2019clock last night, and as showing the scant interest that was taken in the proceedings, it was noticeable that not a single member of the Board of Trade, or allied associations, was present when the time expired.When the nominations were all in, it was found that Mr.W.W.Ogilvie had been elected president by acclamation, as had been expected.There will be no contest for the office of 2nd vice-president and treasurer, Messrs, W.C.Munderloh and Edgar Judge being elected by acclamation for these respective positions, The full list of nominations is as follows: OFFICERS.President, W.W.Ogilvie\u2014 Proposed by E.B.Greenshields and Chas.P.Hebert.First viee-president, James A.Cantlie\u2014 Proposed by EB.B.Greeshields and Chas.P.Hebert.Richard White,

Chores.In the press of work on a farm many little ithings gu unnoticed, or are seen at & time when it is impossible to attend to \u2018them.This is particularly the case regarding burns, stables, chicken houses, cte, I: the farmer will cast his eye around wlen in these places and make a note of the broken hinges, the loose, rattling windows, the holes in the floor, constantly growing larger from wear, the rickety perches, the ueg- lected manure heap, broken posts, leaky roofs and the thousand and one other little things that will give him annoy- auce in Ale near iuiure, he can set apart a day or two to attend to his mending.Secure a few boards, & hammer, saw and nails, and go to work with a will, says & writer in Indiana Farmer, and it will surprise you if you never tried it, to sind how gnuch happier you will feel to know \u2018that your cattle and horses are comfortable during the cold stormy weather.Do not stop with repairs.There are few who cannot improve on the conveniences aronud one\u2019s preiises, Have you a sloppy, muddy walk to your barn and out-houses?Have you an uncomfortable place in which to milk?Are your tools and implements unhoused ?Are all the walks leading to the house such as will make no extra work ior the wife?Have you scrapers and mats at each door, enabling those who enter to leave dirt outside?It is unnecces- sury to ask more questions.EVER were there such a number of \u201cteas\u201d as lately large and small, for\u201d mal and sans cere monie.They are pleasant meeting places.In the bustle of life and the requirements of society it is difficult to get breathing time for a chat with one\u2019s friends, and teas help to meet this difficulty.Mrs.Rawlings had a very charming \u201ctea\u2019 last evening for men as well as ladies.Mrs.R.L.Gault, Osborne street, had a ladies tea on Monday, which was very successful.On Tuesday Mrs.Blackader had a ladies tea; on Monday \u2018the Hon.Mrs.Waud has a delightfully cosy tea for ladies, and on Friday a young ladies tea.Yesterday Miss Gertrude Hampson entertained her young friendsat an afternoon tea.Perhaps for pure thorough enjoyment, it would be difficult to exceed that with which these school girls enter into functions of this kind.It seems so delightfully grown up; and although thetr \u201c\u2018tea\u201d si generally *\u2018cocoa,\u201d They do enjoy their chai over it.gave a young ladies\u2019 progressive euchre at which the prizes were very handsonie.One a silver back-comb, another, a leather card case.The young ladies seem to like this form of entertaining; the chance of winning a prize certainly adds zest to the amusement.Mrs.Boult had a very charming little dance on Wednesday evening at her residence on Sherbrooke street, for the young people.Mis.B.C.Jamieson had a very successful dance on Thursday evening.It was given in honor of the Misses Knight, of Portland, Me., who are still with Mrs.Jamieson.Mrs.Charles Hosmer has a large \u2018\u201c At Home \u201d this afternoon.Amongst the large dances on the tapis are Mrs.Rawlings\u2019 on the 25th inst.; Mrs.F.Wolferstan Thomas\u2019, on the 26th; Mrs.F.Wolferstan Thomas\u2019 Bal Poudre, on the 3rd of February, and Mrs.George Drummond\u2019s one on the 6th of February, the other, a ** Bal Masque\u201d on the 7th.Then there will be the \u201cVeteran Vices\u201d ball, and the Carnival ball, the date of which I hear has been settled for the 13th of February.Mrs.Edward Taylor, Sherbrooke street, had a very delightful little dance on Tuesday evening.-\u2014 Things generally in society have been more lively than they were, although undoubtedly the sad, tragic death Jf poor Mr.Arthur Allan, a well-known leader amongst some society men, will make a great difference in many circles.He will be very much regretted and missed by his numerous friends, and I am sure the sympathy of all must be with his family in their trouble.Mr.and Mrs.McShane have returned from Springfield, Mass., where they have been attending the marriage of Miss Pelletier, Mrs.McShane\u2019s cousins to Mr.Grant, of Belleville.The pink and white ball given at Toronto by Mrs.Arthurs, in St.George's Hall, was a great success.The decorations were beautiful, the \u2018pink and white\u201d idea being carried out in everything, including the small electric lights, with their pink and white shades.Mrs.Arthurs was in white, looking very fine and stately; Miss Arthurs wore a beautiful pink gown.There were gowns of every imaginable shade of pink, and a great many combination pink and white.The Misses Sullivan, daughters of the Bishop of Algoma, were guests.Miss Kathleen Sullivan looked particulatly well in a gown of very rich brocade.I think something of the same nature liere would be a pleasant change ; any color generally becoming might be chosen; but of course pink blends so delightfully with almost every style of beauty, and lights up s0 prettily, that itfis almost the color pur excellence to choose.The idea is very charming\u2014rosy lights, rosy tints everywhere.It would be a new phase of \u2018* The roseate hues of early dawn.\u201d What a wealth of fine concerts we are having, thanks to Mrs.Throwers capable management.How perfectly lovely the Wednesday and Phursday following performances were, with such a combination.As a friend said, we might have had a whole opera.In all my ex- pericnce I never heard anything finer than the trio from Faust, the finale of Thursday night\u2019s concert.They all sang as if inspired, and I had sympathetic thrills running up and down my spinal cord in the most exciting fashion.That faithful sentinel, my medulla oblongata, behaved in the most eccentric, indigunified manner, in fact Madame Nordica quite carried him off his head, but it was pardonable under the circumstances, only I don\u2019t know where I should have been if the hippocampus major had found him.Such a Marguerite and Mepplisto I scarcely think could be excelled to-day.And Campanini was almost his old self, his voice is so sweet and sympathetic.Then Scalchi with her ease of singing and phenomenal voice ?What if the resilience has gone out of it somewhat# It is still so much finer than anything else we have.Decl Puente sang his \u2018\u2018Buffo\u201d\u2019 song in just the same inimitable style as in days of yore; he carries his audience with him.But what a pity when everything clse was so delightful to have so much dissatisfaction about the seats, when there were quite two hundred, if not more, vacant during the whole performance; it seems to me a great error of judgmentto sell only standing room for a dollar.Several men bought dollar tickets and finding only standing room, (at the hack,) went back to the ticket box indignantly and paid fifty cents extra.It is a pity to have unpleasant feelings aroused when it all might be avoided ; and how often people deplore the short-sighted policy which prefers a three-quarter house at high prices to a full hand\u2014 no, I mean house\u2014at somewhat lower figures.I know it seems mean to grumble and find fault when we are all so much better off than formerly ; but it is only done in the interests of art.Tlie people, perhaps, who are fondest of music are badly off, and where they might be able to spend seventy-five cents, or even a Mrs.James O'Brien, Sherbrooke street, - dollar, they cannot afford more.Of course, if the Windsor Hall could be packed at $5 a seat even, that would be quite different.I should like to say something about the charming reception given last week at the St.Lawrence Hall by Mesdames Mathieu, Desjardins and Bureau.Last Saturday want of space prevented my doing so.As such an occasion is a rare one, I do not like to pass it over in sl- lence.It wus so informal and home-like at the same time with so much charm of courtesy and grace about it.There was such a genuine unaffectedly surprised greeting from each to the other friend as they met in corridor or dressing room.\u201cWhat, you here?\u201d or \u2018It's you, is it?\u201d might sound dreadfully brusque and rude in English, but in French, \u2018\u2018Mais vous?Est-ce possible!\u201d with a big note of interrogation, sounds quite the most friendly greeting, It was all so simple and natural that one could only be charmed.There were many handsome women present, beautifully gowned, and such diamonds! One lady from New York had such a quantity on and so big, they sparkled at cvery turn.Another lady with lovely diamonds, wore an exquisite black lace gown, and a sunflower to match her hair; she was very striking in appearance.Not only were the ladies resplendent, but I noticed some of the men also very much decorated with foreign orders.Notably the Chevalier Drolet, who wore the cross of the Legion of Honor.The music was delightful.Miss Villeneuve has a beautifully trained voice of a very extensive register.Mr.Couture and Mr.Fortier also were among the performers.It was a most excellent programme they gave us, creditable alike to the performers and to Montreal.Since the new drawing-room and corridors have been added to the St.Lawrence Hall, this is the first grand reception that has been held there, and I must say they make a wonderful difference in point of comfort as well as appearance.Everything that Mr.Hogan undertakes is sure to be well done, and this reception was only another evidence of that fact.The reception was highly successful.The guests generally were representative of our best French society; but there were a great many English also.As I said before, it was all thoroughly enjoyable, and an evening of this kind gives a chance to both nationalities to become better acquainted and to appreciate each other's good qualities.HezEN HEATHOOTE.Schiffmann\u2019s Asthma Cure.Is used by inbalation, thus reaching the seat of the disease direct.Its action is immediate and certain.No waiting for results, Ask any druggist or address, Dr.R.Schiffinann, St.Paul, Minn., for a free trial package.The Collectorship.La Presse objects to the appointment of Mr.R.S.White to the position of collector of customs on the ground that he is a representative of an Ontario constituency, It does not scek to depreciate the value of Mr.White for the position, who is, it says, eminently qualified, especially by reason of his studies on commercial questions.The Arthur E.Allan Estate.Mr.Andrew A.Allan was appointed yesterday morning by Judge Doherty as judicial procurator to be present at the inventory of the estate of the late Mr.Arthur E.Allan, as representing the interests of all such persons outside the province who may have any right, title or interest in said estate.This appointment was made upon the petition of Messrs.H.Montagu Allan end Andrew A.Allan.Epps\u2019s Cocoa\u2014Grateful and Comforting.\u201cBy a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properiies of weli-selected Cocoa, Mr.Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy doctors\u2019 bills.It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may ve gradually built up until strong enough to resist cvery tendency to disease.Hundreds of subtle maladies ar: floating around us ready to attack wherever there is o weak point.We may escape many & fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished.frame.\u201d\u2014Ciril Service Gazette Made simply with boiling water or milk, Sold only in packets by grocers, iabelled \u2014\u2018\u2019JAMES EPPS & CO., Homoopathic Chemists, London, Eng.\u201d - ROOMS AND BOARD.ROOME\u2014W arm, well furnished large front room, gas, hot and cold water;
