QUEBEC, Jan.2.\u2014Owing to a two hours delay of the train bearing many of the members back to their labors the House sat only about fifteen minutes during the afternoon.The evening session was entirely taken up with the debate on Provincial finances.Hon.Mr.Shehyn, ex-treasurer of the Province, resumed his address on the provincial finances.His speech was really a reply to Hon.Mr.Hall\u2019s budget, illness having prevented his giving it earlier in the session.Mr.Shehyn first drew attention to the amounts spent from 1876 to 1887, under the Conservative administration, over and above the ordinary receipts.During this period the total amount of such expenditure was, he said, $26,156,206, making an average of upwards of $2,000,000 per annum in excess of the ordinary receipts, besides leaving a floating debt of about $4,500,000, and a similar amount of contested debts and claims, many of which the succeeding administration had to pay.To arrive at the proportion of the total debt due to the successive Conservative Governments, there must be deducted from the total expenditure the sum of $3,458,940, composed of special receipts, such a reimbursements from the municipal loan fund, about $800,000 ; the recovery of insurance upon buildings, $126,000; sale of the Reformatory of St.Vincent de Paul, $118,000 ; sale of the Quebec gaol, $10,000 ; reimbursements, and sale of old material on account of the North Shore Railway, $354,000, and besides these there was $625,000 which had been received on account from the Federal Government pending a final settlement of accounts between it and the provinces.There was also $976,000.45 of accumulated surpluses previous to 1876.These various sums deducted from the total leave $22,697, - 266 as the amount of total debt of $33,000,- 000 for which the Conservative Administration was responsible.The total consolidated debt of the province on June 30, 1891, was 421,383,696.If to this be added the authorized loan during the session of 1890, to cover the floating debt, whichamounted to $10,862,353, the total amount is obtained of $31,383,696.For this sum, as has just been shown, the predecessors of the Mercier administration were responsible for $22,697,266, leaving a balance of $8,686,430.Adding to this the amount of the deficit in 1891, it would be seen that the amount of the debt attributable to Mercier\u2019s policy, was $9,324,806.Mr.Shehyn then showed the several ways in which this sum had been expended: Settlement of Jesuits\u2019 Estates, $400,000; codification of the laws, $167,991 ; building of a Normal school at Quebec, 875,000; building of iron bridges in municipalities, $399,389; new gaol in Montreal, $460,000; Montreal Court House, up to 1892, $413.- 742 (upon the Montreal Court House was Spent in 1893.$152.751; estimated expendi- tare for 1894, $271,0001; seed grain to assist certain municipalities, £50,000; night schools, $110,000;) colonization purposes, $30,000; balance of railway subsidies, %7,- 298,567.These various sums amounted to $9,304,691.Mr.Shehyn drew attention to the large proportion of this which was spent in railway subsidies, and spoke of the advantages of a complete railway system; in a new country like ours, it was the only means of developing its resources.It should also be kept in view that the railway companies had, in addition to the subsidies received from the Government, spent a very large amount of money obtained, principally, through loans raised in other countries.The province thus gained in acquiring property which could not be removed.Mr.Shehyn then referred to the statement made by Mr.Hall at the Windsor in Montreal, and repeated in his budget speech that the Mercier administration had spent on capital account at the rate of $1,500,000 a year.This was quite true.from 1887 to 1891 such expenditure amounted to $7,507,586.But Mr.Hall ad omitted to mention that the previous \u2018Onservative administration were responsible for at least half this, as it included a greater part of their floating debt.The question of deficits was next taken up.The deficits under Conservative rule, from 1876 to 1887, between ordinary receipts and ordinary expenditure, had been $3.301,558; whereas, according to Mr Hall\u2019s own showing, the deficits between 1888-1891 were cnly $528 579.This showed clearly that the deficits under Liberal administration were considerably less than under the preceding regimes.In fact there would have been no deficit at all had the Crown Lands produced their normal revenue.Owing to a depression in the timber trade, our receipts from this source had been much less than usual.Mr.Shehyn next compared the average nual expenditure of the late administra.on with that of the present.aking the last three years of the Mer ier Government, he found the ordinary xpenditure as follows: In 1889, $3,543.- 18.64; in 1890, $3.881,672.95; in 1891, 095,620.45; total, $11,520,812.04, or an verage per annum of $3,840,271.Compared with this the ordinary and estimated erdinary expenditure of the present Government stood as follows: in 1893, 83,952,258; for 1894, £3.851,161 ; for 1895, $3,910,000; total, S11,793,419, or an average of $3,931,- 140.The Hon.gentlemen who had been ® alarmed at the expenditure of their predecessors, were thus seem to be spend- ng $91,869 a year more.Returning to the item of capital account, r.Shehyn said that during the period \u2018om 1886 to 1893 there had been paid for KRilway subsidies £5,233,044.82, and there s, on June 30 last, à balance of such subies not vet earned, of $4,793,203.95; mak- a total of $10,026,248.77.This, to.ther with other expenditures, less the product of the loan of 88, $3,378,332.50.de up the floating debt of $11,306.155.83 Bw which a loan of $10,000.000 was author.ped by tle House in 1850, For the $10.,248 ot railway subsidies the members of e present Government were equally ponsible, they having supported the then vernment\u2019s policy.Indeed, they had y frequently waited upon the Govern- nb as deputations to obtain these sub- les, as well as other items which formed sert of the special expenditure.But, once mg >mnel the totals of which they had ¢ ved in detail.she ex-Treasurer referred to the injustice of Mr.Hall's criticism when he stated that the Mercier Government had put all their receipts in a common fund.It would, indeed, be most impracticable to adopt any other method, and even the present administration, as well as the Ottawa and Ontario governments, did the same thing.This was only another instance of the many trifling means which had been resorted to for the purpose of inducing the public to believe that the Mercier Government had done everything wrong.Mr.Shehyn next showed how ridiculous it was for the Ifon.Treasurer to say that the affairs of the Province were in a bankrupt condition.He showed by statistics that the total debt did not represent 7 per cent.of the assessed property of the Province.There were also available assets amounting to $10,000,000; while the French loan of 1880 would, when due, all be paid off by the annual drawings of that loan.Moreover, for the last railway subsidies granted, there had been a law passed for the purpose of creating a sinking fund of 1-2 per cent., to be levied on all subsidies previously paid, er to be paid, so that this sinking fund, properly administered, would in sixty years cover all the railway subsidies.To pretend, therefore, that a net debt of $22,000,000 was ruinous for a province like Quebec was absurd.It was no more thanthe debt of the city of Montreal.It was but natural that in view of the large sums expended in railway subsidies and other public works, the amounts so paid should exceed the normal receipts of the Province.Mr.Shehyn next referred to that part of the budget speech in which a comparison was made of receipts and expenditure for the fiscal years of 1890-91 and 1892-3, showing that for the latter year the deficiency was much less.To obtain this re- \u2018sult the Hon.Treasurer had confounded expenditure with what is called a financial operation\u2014he had counted ns a deficit some £200,600 which should have been treated under the same head as a temporary loan, inasmuch as this sum represented reimbursements which had already appeared as an expenditure, and which formed part of the floating debt to be covered by the loan of $10,000,000.It was, also, but natural that 1892-93 should make a better showing as in the receipts were included some $500,000 raised by new taxation.The Hon.Treasurer also stated in his budget speech, that he had ruled out of his accounts the title of special expenditure and that he had charged to ordinary expenditure all those items which his predecessors used to carry under the heading of special expenditure.In glancing at the extraordinary expenditure, which is but another term for special expenditure, it would be seen that for 1893, and in his estimates for 1894 and 1895, the same items would be found as used to be classified as special expenditure.Of course, now that so much expenditure on public works and railways had been paid off, this item is growing smaller each year.In his budget speech the Honorable Treasurer had further said, referring to the expenditure, that the fact must not be lost sight of that the interest on the public debt amounted, in 1891, to S1,271,- 506.33; in 1892, $1,438,443.62, and in 1893, $1,445,031.34.The Hon.Treasurer left it to be inferred from this statement that the Mercier administration was responsible for the total amount of this interest.The Hon.gentleman surely could not have forgotten that the interest-service on June 30, 1886, was $977,760, and in 1887, $1,016,022 \u2014allthisbeforethe Liberalscame intapower.It must also be kept in view that the interest was increased by the loan of $3,500,000 in 1888, which served to pay part of the floating debt bequeathed by the preceding Conservative administration.Here was another instance of the unfair criticism in which the Hon.Treasurer had indulged.The Liberals were quite willing to assume their just share of any responsibility they may have incurred, but they were not willing to be saddled with upwards of a $1,000,000 of annual interest for which they were in no way accountable.Mr.Shehyn also took up the subject of the new taxes.There was, he said, no necessity for the imposition of such taxation upon our industries, merely for the purpose of paying sums attributable to capital.According to the estimated ordinary receipts and expenditures for 1894, there would be a surplus of $231,091, and for 1895 a surplus of $374.366.This showed that there was no need of the new taxes.By these taxes had been realized some $500,000, and the Hon.Treasurer had begun paying on capital account; which could easily have been covered by the authorized loan, thus making the taxes less onerous.Mr.Shehyn next reviewed the terms of the loans of 1890 and 1893, showing how much less favorable was the latter.The former had realized 96%, the latter, 94.But he did not so much object to the actual price paid as to the onerous conditions which had been imposed upon the Province.The Hon.Treasurer had stated that he had established equilibrium between revenue and expenditure.This was, indeed, not difficult to do, since their expenses for railway subsidies and public works generally were so much less, and their taxation so much more.In conclusion, Mr.Shehyn regretted that the Hon.Treasurer had not stated facts as they were, instead of merely attempting to advance the interests of his own party.Mr.Hall\u2019s speech in reply to the ex- Treasurer was not long.He claimed that the amount spent by the previous administration in railway subsidies was not warranted by the financial position of the Province.As for the more favorable terms on which the loan of 1888 had been floated, as compared with that of 1892, he said that at the former date the credit of the Province had not been impaired.The Province was, however, fast regaining its lost credit under the present government.Mr, Stephens next discussed the question.Mr.Stephens did not make any nice discriminations between ordinary and extraordinary expenditure but lumped the whole together.This dividing of expenditure Into these several headings by which the Treasurers were enabled to make imaginary surpluses might, he said, be fun for the Treasurers, but did not alter the fact that from 1886 to 1893 our actual deficit was $17,- 000,000, this amount being the actual excess of total expenditure over total revenue.The Honorable Treasurer had in his budget speech claimed that he had reduced the annual ordinary deficit to £42,000, but he had done this merely by the jugaling of hig accounts and placing railway subsidies under the head of extraordinary expenditures.Mr.Stephens then spoke of the wupeces.sarily expensive system of legislation which prevailed in the Province.The legislative machinery of the several States of the American Union cost only a fraction of fours, yet they were more populeus and more wealthy than we.Mr.Stephens then moved the following : \u2018\u201c That it has become more and more evident that the administration of affairs in the Province is too expensive: that this state of things has resulted in the creation of a heavy public debt and imposition of taxes which oppress and discourage our population and constitute an impediment to our progress and is one of the chief causes of expatriation of our people ; that the public credit is seriously compromised, which is fully demon- skese tnoasures had passed the House, they strated by the results of the last negotiations of the Provincial Government in their money matters ; that the taxpayers of the Province have the right to expect and in fact demand that in our general organization, in our administrative system, and in the management of our public affairs, refogms and modifications tending to assui to them the benefits of a veritdble economy and the application of rules of simplicity and prudence which our circumstances imperiously require shall be made without delay; that in consequence this House is of the opinion that it is desirable that a select committee be formed with instruction to study the economical administration and financial condition of the Province, to revise and rearrange different branches of our public service with a view to affect an immediate diminution of public charges and imposts created to the detriment of our commerce, industry and agriculture, of laboring classes, said committee being specially authorized to confer with any similar committee which may be appointed for these purposes by the Legislative Council.\u201d Before the amendment Was put the Premier stated that the Government did dot intend to appoint any such committee.The amendment was lost by 15 to 34 and the House immediately went into Committee of Supply.Several jtems of the estimates were passed, and at 1 a.m.the House adjourned.BANQUET TO MR.LAURIER.The banquet to Mr.Wilfrid Laurier, at the Chateau Frontenac, Thursday evening, promises to be a big event.Following are the toasts: The Queen; The Governor-Gen- eral; Tho Lieut.-Governor; Our Guest; The Federal Parliament; The Provincial Legislature; The Press; The Ladies.Madame Laurier will hold a reception for the ladies and gentlemen who will be pleased to call on her, at the Chateau Frontenac, between three and four o\u2019clock on Thursday afternoon next.In referenee to the banquet, The Chronicle (Conservative) says: We do not exaggerate when we state that the Hon.Mr.Laurier counts as many admirers among his political opponents as among his political friends, and we expect that many who do not agree with his views on public questions will nevertheless be glad to hear him on Thursday next.We feel assured that no word will fall from his lips which would cause them to regret their having joined in welcoming a man of whom all Canadians ought justly to be proud.THE SECOND PORTEOLIO Its Beautiful and Artistic tents.Con- PHOTOGRAPHS OF STRIKING SCENES AT THE FAIR, Portfolio No.Two of the World's Fair Views Has Now Been

Boston.Boston, Jan.2.-\u2014At 2.15 this morning a fire broke out near the scene room of the Globe Theatre, which resulted in the destruction of that structure.At 2.45 a.m.the fire was under control.The total loss is roughly estimated at $300,- 000 of which the greater part is on the theatre.Hanlon\u2019s \u2018\u2018Superba\u2019\u2019 was occupying the house and their properties were destroyed.Their loss is said to be $20,000.The building adjoining the theatre, occupied by the Globe Cafe and the winter quarters of the Massachusetts Yacht Club was also burned, with its contents.This building was owned by John Stetson, of the Globe Theatre.The theatre is leased by Mr.Stetson, and the bare property, including the land, is assessed at \"$160,000.The total lossis roughly estimated at $350, - 000.It is estimated that the Hanlon Brothers will lose about $25,000.The Han- lons were burned out a year ago in Cleveland, Ohio.ee FIVE MEN KILLED.Train Burned Up Resulting From a Collision.LAWRENCE, Kas., Jan.2.\u2014 A Rock Island freight train crashed into the rear of a Union Pacific train 10 miles east of here aboat 6 a,m.The Union Pacific caboose, passenger coach, car load of lumber and a car load of hogs were burned.The dead are: Herman Smize, stock- man, Clay Center, Kas.; Martin, stockman, Wakefield, Kas.; James Atwood, conductor, Tescott, Kas.The injured are : William Haskins, Randolph, Kas., spine and back badly hurt: will probably die; B.F.Pasten, Hill Centre, Kas., head and back badly injured; will die; T.M.McCrary, Tescott, Kas.; G.M.Spencer, Clyde, Kas.When Atwood saw the collision was inevitable, he went into the combination coach and baggage car at the end of the train to warn the passengers.The crash came before he could accomplish his purpose and he was killed.Two stockmen are missing, and it is believed that they were killed and their bodies burned.Terrible Death on the Track.\u201cConductor, I saw a tramp knocked down between two cars,\u201d said a passenger on the Quebec train coming to Montreal, last evening shortly after it had left St.Rose.On arriving at St.Vincent de Paul Station the conductor telegraphed back to the agent at St.Rose to investigate the Matter.On the train's arrival at Mile End a message was received to the effect that a tramp\u2019s body had been found on the track one hundred yards from St.Rose Station literally cut to pieces.Nothing in the man\u2019s pockets elicited any information as to who he wus or where he came irom.A TAX ON INCOMES Democrats Decide it Shall be Two per Cent Over $4,000, There will Also be a Tax of Ten Cents a Gallon on Whisky, and Two Cents a Pack on Playing Cards\u2014Mr.Wilson\u2019s Plans for the Opening of Congress.Wasnixuron, Jan.2.\u2014Congress will come together again to-morrow after a two weeks recess prepared for a struggle that is certain to last weary months.What has already been done is insignificant in comparison with what remains to be accomplished, and in fact the few weeks of the session preceding the recess hardly sufficed to outline distinctly the program of the leaders charged with the responsibility in either House.The proceedings of the Senate at least this week are not expected to he very important.In the House, no definite program has been arranged for to-morrow.If Mr.Wilson is ready to complete his speech the discussion of the tariff will be begun.In case Mr.Wilson wishes more time, the Hawaiian matter may come up.The Committee on Rules will meet before the House begins its session to-morrow and arrange a program of some kind.AN INCOME TAXA two percent tax on incomes above $4,000 ; an additional tax of ten cents a gallon on whiskey and a tax of two cents a pack on playing cards was the decision reached by the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee to-day.The Committee met at the Treasury Department at 4 o\u2019clock to-day determined to settle the question of an income tax Lefore adjourning.It was represented by several of the gentlemen who favored the proposition that a general income tax would yield the Government an annual revenue of $30,000,000; that making the exemptions $4,000 would limit to a class amplyable to afford it and that in view of the large deficit that will be caused by the reduction in customs duties there was no alternative but to adopt it.The tax applies to the net earnings of corporations as weil as to private incomes.It does not however apply to inheritances although that suggestion was one of the earliest advanced when the matter first came up for consideration in the Committe a month ago.THE TAX ON WHISKEY.The additional tax of ten cents a gallon on whiskey including whiskey now in bond, with a view to making the tax fall as lightly as possible upon the owners of this whiskey, it was decided to extend the bonded period to eight years.It is now three years.The large revenue arising from the income tax caused the Committee to recede from the tax of six cents a pack on playing cards and reduce it to two cents.The tax of $1.50 per thousand on cigarettes, upon which the Committe agreed several weeks ago, was allowed to stand.MR.WILSON\u2019S PLANS, Mr.Wilson, t# chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, will not present these revenue features formally to the House.He will announce to-morrow the conclusions reached by the Committee, and will offer the items as an addition to the tariff bill when the latter comes before the House.Mr.Wilson will call up the tariff bill at the conclusion of the morning hour on Wednesday, and will make a short speech in explanation.At the conclusion of Mr.Wilson\u2019s remarks Mr.Burrows, of Michigan, one of the leading Republican members of the Committee, will speak in opposition to the bill.STAGE AND PLATFORM.WILSON BARRETT AS \u201cCLAUD=- IAN\u201d AT THE QUEENS.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Some Capital Attractions Prom- ised\u2014Last Night\u2019s Artistic Association Concert.\u201cClaudian,\u201d that sad yet powerful dramatic story, told by W.G.Willis, was once more seen by Montrealers last evening, at the Queen\u2019s Theatre.Mr.Barrett and his company have more firmly than ever convinced us that try what they will, no production is placed before the public that is not of sufficient merit to warrant the challenge of critics.It may be argued, and with reason, that no performance is beyond ecriticism, but at the some time it may justly be claimed that there are writers who take up their pens simply to find fault, and it is to this class that the man would belong who wrote anything but favorable mention of last night's performance of \u201cClaudian.\u201d It was seen when Mr.Barrett last visited Montreal and will be remembered chiefly for its remarkable originality and wonderful word paintings.OClaudian Andiates, the rich nobleman of Byzantium, is the chief figure in a startling prologue.Powerful, to a highest degree, he covets whate\u2019er ~ he sees and as a result is cursed by the Holy Clement to live on and on, for years and for years until his life shall have become a living hell; no pleasure shall he know.Every act of kindness shall bring about disaster, and of all mortals on earth he shall be the most accursed.Cringing with the severity of the sentence Wilson Barrett, as Claudian, is found at the feet of the Holy Clement as the curtain falls.It is a striking tableau, and such that an interest is aroused in the play proper which few prologues have as yet been able to bring about, CHARACTERS IN THE PLAY.Claudian Andiates.Wilson Barrett Almida, daughter of Alcares, FE e eee ae Miss Maud Jeffries Alcares, à Wealtliy farmer.Ambrose M anning Belos, a young farmer.Horace Hodges Thariogalus, Tetrarch of the Province of Charydos.Franklin McLeay Agazil, a blacksmith.H.Cooper Cliffe Edessa, daughter of Alcares, teeta.Miss Daisy Belmore There are a number of other minor characters, The awful nature of the curse will naturally give an idea of the tribulations through which Claudian has passed when after 100 years, spent in bringing misery to those whom he came in contact with.we are introduced in the play to the still rich nobleman.Claudian saves a young blacksmith, who is in love with Almida, from the clutches of the Tetrarch.Happiness would be theirs, but the curse o\u2019crtakes Claudian and those he would befriend.Almida instantly falls in love with him; blindness follows, homes are wrecked, the palace is in ruins, and amid the fallen pillars the curse js removed when Claudian declares his willingness to die that Almida might be saved from an equally fearful curse, Mr.Barrett\u2019s work was very powerful \u2018names of those well known trom beginning to end.The long suffering hero of the play, tired of his weary life, d'espite riches and position, was portrayed in a manner such as no one but an artist and scholar dare dream of.But Mr.Barrett\u2019s success \u2018lies not alone in his own good acting; his company has been chosen with such care that evidently every member is possessed of a generous rivalry, which finds its outlet in striving for the general harmony\u2014a company which is responsive, faithful and loyal to its chief, ready and more than willing to second all his efforts, and never once losing a chance to make the performance all that the most flattering of press notices have claimed for it.The members who played last night need not be particularized ; the cast is given above, and the people are so well known that further praise would be only lost in the stream of congratulations which must attend the present Montreal engagement, This atternoon\u2014*\u2018The Stranger.\u201d To-night\u2014\u2018\u2018Virginius.\u201d While \u201cClaudian\u201d is

Kids\u201d played to two large houses at the Royal vesterday.The week for this production is proving a good one.ARTISTIC ASSOCIATION CONCERT.The fifth concert of this season by the Montreal Artistic Association was given last evening to a large audience in Association Hall.The program contained the Montreal artists, Miss Marion Sym, F.Jehin-Prume, R.Gruenwald, J.Classet and Mrs.Meldola de Sola.Mrs.de Sola\u2019s \u2018\u201c Hebrew Love Song\u201d was given in a style that called forth tremendous applause.She was followed by Miss Sym, the eminent young pianist, who has won so much praise of late, with an allegro appasionato of exquisite melody.Miss Sym who has only recently returned to this city from abroad has been predicted as one of the coming great pianists and it was clearly shown last night that the prophecy is true not only as far as the future 1s concerned but at the present time, and Montrealers should indeed feel proud of such talent.Miss Sym in her performance with Messrs.Jehin-Prume, Gruenwald and Classet in quartet, won great praise.The song given by Mrs.De Sola, \u2018\u2018Ninon,\u201d was also one of the particularly pleasant numbers of an excellent program.KELLAR NEXT WEEK.Kellar, who appears with his entertainment of delusions at the Queen\u2019s next week, comes from along and successful run at Daly\u2019s Theatre, New York, with many new and marvelous feats.Among his acts of magicare \u201cFlyto,\u201d \u2018\u2018Astarte, the Maid of the Monon,\u201d and \u2018\u2018Karmas.\u201d One of his feats much spoken of is \u201cOh,\u201d whereby a living, breathing human being is caused to disappear from the sight of the spectators in the midst of a brilliantly lighted room.DUFF IS COMING.The management of the Academy of Music have secured the Duff Opera Company for one week commencing Monday evening, January 8th, they will present during the week three distinct musical novelties of equal interest, given with a cast which includes many well - known artists.There ave also some new faces, of whom report speaks most favorably.The engagement of the Duff Opera Company will open with the bright and sparkling comic opera, \u2018Miss Helyett.\u201d This production, which has achieved such great success abroad and in the United States, is an.altogether happy combination of mirth and music, supplemented by the attractiveness of pretty women and melodous voices, with a little dash of vaudeville.and the appropriate introduction of Ta-ra- ra-boom-de-aye and other attractive dances appear to be the prominent ingredants used in the concoction of that altogether alluring operatic compound, Miss Helyett.The cast will include Miss Lenore Snyder, Miss Sibyl Wyndham, Miss De Rue, Miss Kate Davis ; Messrs.Charles Bassett, Mr.Wm.McLaughlin, Mark Smith, Joseph Fay, C.Edwards, H.Rowens and wife, and many others.The second program will be given on Wednesday evening and will include two operas.The first will be Gounod\u2019s two act opera comique, **Philemon and Baucis,\u201d which was first produced at the Lyrique Theatre, Paris, in 1862, and was given for the first time in America by Mr.Duffs company at the Auditoriun, Chicago, Dec.25, 1892.Following this opera, a lyric drama in one act, based upon Henrik Herz\u2019s famous play \u201cKing Rene\u2019s Daughter,\u201d music by Mr.Julian Edwards.This work received the most admirable praise when produced for the first time in New York several weeks ago.It will also serve to introduce a new prima donna, Miss Eleanore \"Mayo, who is conceded to be à most successful debutante.In the character of Iolanthe, the blind daughter of the king, Miss Mayo\u2019s personality is said to be fitted to perfection.There can be no doubt that the public curiosity will be aroused to the highest point by the performances to Le rendered by the Dutf Opera Co.this week at the Academy.Mr.Julian Edwards will conduct the operas.AT THE ROYAL NEXT WEEK.\u2018\u2018 Hands Across the Sea\u201d will be presented at the Theatre Royal next week.The play is no stranger to the theatre patrons of this city, and has already drawn crowded houses.There is something strongly attractive about it, while at the same time it is devoid of those suggestions of vulgarity and the slums which have served to popularize so many, so-called melodramas.Its lines are natural, and do not need the intervention of \u201cblood and thunder\u201d and \u2018horse play\u201d to bolster up waning interest.The sympathies of the audience are enlisted on behalf of the hero and heroine in the first act, and that interest becomes intensified as the story is told.Then there is the revolving scenery, the realistic race on the high seas, with the broad expanse of water.\u2018\u201c Hands Across the Sea\u201d is the \u2018\u201c old, old story,\u201d retold with the accessories of romance drawing on land and water to add to its charms.The little ¢ Columbian Cadets\u201d will appear between the first and second acts of the drama.OBITUARY.Aupany, N.Y., Jan.2.\u2014Bishop Mc- Nienery died at 8.45 p.m.Loxpox, Jan.2.\u2014Henry Vizetelly died at Farnham

Surprised at a Question Asked.Loxpox, Jan.2 \u2014In reply to a question asked in the House of Commons to-day by the Right Hon.Arthur F orwood, who is a prominent shipowner, Mr.Gladstone said that during the operations at Rio Janeiro the Government had been in constant coui- munication with the British Minister of Brazil and the senior officer of the British fleet at Rio Janciro.British ships, he added, had received from the British Government representatives the protection that had been accorded the ships of other nations.Brazilian insurgents were not recognized as belligerents but Great Britain and the Government could not undertake in any way to interfere with the quarrel in progress in Brazil.Mr.Gladstone concluded by declaring that he was surprised that such a question as had been put by Mr.Forwood should have asked.In the House of Commons to-day, Wm, Byles, Liberal, brought up an interesting question in connection with the rights of Duke Alfred of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who, as the Duke ot Edinburgh, is one of the hereditary law makersof Great Britain.Mr.Byles asked whether Duke Alfred retained his right as a Peer of the Realm to vote for the revision, rejection or approval of bills passed by the House of Commons.Mr.Gladstone replied that the question was one that must be determined by the House of Lords itself, that House being the Judge of the qualifications of its own members.Robert Burnie, Liberal, demanded that the terms of the oath taken by Duke Alfred as a German Sovereign be produced in the House, Sir Edward trey, Parliamentary Secretary of the Foreign Office, replied that a copy of the oath would be produced.FROM THE CAPITAL.St.George's Society Will Present an Address to Aberdeen.An Ottawa Exile Pardoned by the Department of Justice\u2014A Surveying Party Turns Up All Right\u2014 Accident to Mr.Mercer \u2014 Lady Aberdeen Will Give Assistance.[Special to The Herald.1 OTTAWA, Jan.2\u2014At a meeting of the St.George\u2019s Society to-night it was unanimously decided to present an address of welcome to Lord Aberdeen.There has been considerable talk over the neglect of the Society to do so before now, especially as it was said that the Society was actuated in their course because the (overnor- General was a Home Ruler.AN EXILE PARDONED.On enquiry at the Justice Department to-day it was ascertained that a young Ottawa man, (.Waller, who was found guilty of robbery eight years ago and who made a successful break for liberty while on the way to prison, had been pardoned and can now return to Canada.The pardon is made applicable to the double offence, that of robbery and escaping from justice.It is granted on the ground that Waller \u201cwas but a mere youth at the time of the offence and has served a long term of exile.His two confederates who were sentenced to five years in the penitentiary were released at the expiration of the second year.Reports received by the department indicate that Waller has lived an exemplary life during his exile and can by no means be said to belong to the criminal classes.A SUCCESSFUL SURVEY.Some slight anxiety was recently felt about Mr.J.B.Tyrell, of the Geological Survey, who was surveying this summer in the far north of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Territory, and had not been heard from for a couple of months.It was thought he might be snowed up for the winter.To-day Director Selwyn of the geological survey, received a telegram from Selkirk from Mr.Tyrell, reporting the complete success of the survey, that he had crossed the barren ground, surveyed Chesterfield Inlet and the west shore of Hudson\u2019s Bay, and would be in Ottawa in à few days.LADY ABERDEEN ASSENTS.This morning Mesdames.Brouson, Tilton, and Perley, and Messrs.FE.P.Bronson, Dr.Sweetland, W.L.Harler, A.M.Burgess, and J P.Featherston waited upon eHr Excellency Lady Aberdeen to solicit her patronage and influence on behalf of the proposed Maternity Hospital.Lady Aberdeen expressed some surprise that Ottawa should have been so long without\u201d an institution of that kind, and promised to give whatever assistance she could towards such a desirable object.A public meeting will be held on February Sth, Their Excellencies being absent from the city during the latter part of January, at which Lord and Lady Aberdeen will be present.Her Excellency having expressed a wish to see the Protestant Hospital, Monday next has been fixed for the visit.ACCIDENT TO MR.MERCER.A serious accident occurred to Mr.F.H.Mercer, the noted Clumer Spaniel raiser, and the clerk of the money order branch of the Post Office Department.While crossing Pooley\u2019s bridge to-day his horse Lolted, throwing Mr.Mercer violently to the ground.His head struck the sidewalk and he was rendered unconscious.He was conveyed to his rooms at Victoria chambers, where he now lies in a dangerous condition and nervous physical prostration.CRUSHED TO DEATH.A Montreal Carter\u2019s Sad End Beneath the Wheels.Misael Robillard, a carter, of 14 Rose de Lima Street, St.Henry, was killed at La- noraie Station yesterday, by a passing train.He had left the city in the morning to visit friends at Lanoraie, and ln the afternoon when about to board a train to return home he slipped and fell under the wheels of the car which at the moment began to move ahead.Before assistance could be given the wheels had

NOB, Campobello Destroyed by Fire by the Rioters and Other Towns Narrowly Escape a Like Fate\u2014 Troops Called Out\u2014Forbearance Ruled Until the Rioters Became Too Bold.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Rome, Jan.2.\u2014Despatches received from Sicily to-day say that in Campobello, a town of six thousand inhabitants the Town Council passed a resolution.abolishing the wheat octroi.As protests against this action the millers proposed to reduce the price of flour and the bakers announced an increase in the price of bread.When these measures become known yesterday morning about 1,000 men and 50 or more women of the working class gathered and began marching through The streets.The police who tried to disperse them were put to flight.The rioters set fire to all the public buildings except the Town Hall.From these buildings the fire spread to the near by private houses.While a large district was in flames, the mob marched to the prison and took it by storm.All the prisoners were liberated.The soldiers who had been confined to their barracks were driven out by the tire.When - brought out the soldiers forced back the mob slowly at the point of the bayonet and at no time received orders to fire.Nearly a third of the town is now in ruins.At Salemi, fires were stated by anti-tax rioters shortly before dark yesterday and half a dozen buildings were burning by nine o'clock.Fires were set by rioters repeatedly in several smaller towns.The troops although provoked by the rioters repeatedly in Salemi did not tire.At Pietra-Perseia, a town of 11,000 inhabitants, near Caltaniseita, an anti-tax mob sct fire to three public buildings and tried to get at the rest, but was prevented by troops who had been called out to protect them.The rioters made such determined attacks on the military in their efforts to reach the buildings that eventually the order to fire was given.Five were killed and many wounded by the first volley.The second volley fired over the heads of the rioters were quickly followed by the dissolution of the mob.: The Town Council in Marino, near Palermo, abolished the wheat octroi on Saturday, but the millers and bakers refused to reduce their prices.The people rose yesterday and tried to destroy the Town buildings, but were driven off by the troops after several stubborn fights, in which three rioters were killed, and several wounded.The Communal Councillors of Sicily have taken steps to quiet the populace by lowering the wheat tax.The despatches from Trapani giving details of the riots in Campobello arrived during a Cabinet Council this morning.They were read first by Premier Crispi, who at once communicated them to his colleagues.All the Ministers pronounced the situation in Sicily far graver than at any previous period of the Anti-tax agitation.Premier Crispi expected until this evening to go to Sicily, but the alarming reports received have caused him {to change his plans as he deems his presence in Rome indispensable, Signor Tazio has written for The Lega del Bene an article on Sicilian labor unions.He ascribes the deplorable state of affairs on the Island to two causes\u2014the union or fasci del lavoratori and brigandage.The latter, he says, is greatly fostered by the fact that there are large districts without roads.The laborers are uneducated, and live like beasts, ignorant of their social &u- ties and of the law.The riches of the island are absorbed by the large proprietors and bankers.\u2018The Signors live in Palermo, and let their lands to the Gabelletti, who submit them to sub- Gabelletti, who re-let them to peasants, the contract system enabling them to suppress the latter.The peasant tills the land entirely at his own expense, keeps a fourth of the produce and surrenders the remainder to the landlord.The laborers\u2019 wages average five centimes an hour, and are almost always paid in wine and inferior provisions.When they are out of work they borrow corn of the landlord who charges 6 per cent.for six months.So long as the parents are in debt, the boys, or picconieri sulphur miners, remain slaves their masters being able even to kill them without risk.Recently one boy was killed by eight strokes of a pick, and another by a kick in the stomach.The officials give their deaths as due to natural causes.The boys are pale, sickly, stooping and rickety, and they suffer continually from fatigue.Their backs are scored with old wounds.They work 12 hours a day, sleep in the mines, and feed on bread aad onions, re MARINE INTELLIGENCE.tts

.Which Did Not Make Money.STEELE MACKAYE'S PROJECTS.$is Spectatorium Entertainment Never Reached a Production, but \u201cThe World Finder\u2019\u2019 May Have a Hearing\u2014Qther In- | teresting Theatrical Notes.CHICAGO, Dec.96.\u2014I have been making an inspection of the theatrical battlefield and in a tender, sympathetic way looking after the victims that have fallen during and since the opening of the World's fair, the 1st of May.The review has been startling, even to me, and I had noted the fate of each as he fell.The mortality list must begin with Steele Mackaye and his great pectaterium scheme\u2014which, however, was never materialized.Steele ia probably the most marvelous dreamer the theatrical profession ever knew, and his ex-Spectatorium vision was his crowning achievement in this line.À few moments of sensible thought would have convinced any ordinary busi- STEELE MACKAYE.ness man that there could not possibly be any profit in his scheme to build the most gigantic theater the world had ever known, which could be operated for no longer than six months had it been completed on time.That there was bound to be a loss was as plain as the nose on his face.Still, Mackaye talked his plans so plausibly into the ears of several prominent and wealthy Chicagoans that they walked right up to his office in the Auditorium and laid great stacks of greenbacks into his upturned palms, in return for which they carried away Spectatorium stock.The building of the great theater began.Had it been completed, it would have been more ornate in design and finish than any of the fairy structures on the exposition grounds adjoining.Its materials were a framework of steel\u2014the sides and immense arches of the roof\u2014wood and staff, which is a sort of white plaster that gives a building the appearance of a marble structure, very like the fair buildings.But after $500,000 bad been expended, and it was found that the building could not be completed before the middle of August instead of by May 1, as had been expected, and even then only by the expenditure of $300,000 more, the stockholders\u2019 eyes were opened, and they saw that their money was hopelessly sunk.They refused to advance more funds, and the enterprise was given up.At last a house wrecking company was paid a substantial sum to remove the building, and now there is not even a trace of the great structure which was designed to seat an audience of 30,000 persons, and across the stage of which it was intended to have run à river of real water 50 feet wide and 12 feet deep.Next in fmportance came a novel enterprise called Hardy\u2019s Underground theater.A splendidly proportioned lot was secured, the owner taking stock for his pay, and the building went up.The plan of this house was to have a number of underground theatoriums, their stages one below the other.The audiences were to be carried in a body on a gigantic hydraulic elevator from one show to another until the last one, down in the bowels of the earth, was reached.A revolving panorama was to be unrolled between the various stages as the audience descended, heightening the effect 80 as to make it seem as if the descent was to a vast depth, Well, the projectors along in June announced that they had struck a pocket of quicksand in excavating, but hoped to get through it safely.They never made another announcement, and I have always suspected that the flaw was in another kind of \u201cpocket.\u201d The grim walls still stand, a monument to the projectors, whose money \u201cnever came back.\u201d Then came the Isabella theater, away out near the fair.It was built with the intention of glving American dramas by American authors.It had a handsome stage and was supplied with 8,000 opera chairs.After three nights\u2019 perforinances by a stock company of 85 persons the manager found himself in hot Water, and in less than three weeks the theater was in the bands of a sheriff.It was opened again as a variety theater, but after a fitful career of a few weeks was closed for good.Another house in the World's fair neighborhood was the Corbett theater, hamed after the pugilistic champion, who was expected to appeär on its stage all through the season, but who did not doso.It had a checkered career for several weeks, when it was besieged and captured by the Salvation Army.John Brown's Fort War Museum was a failure on a smaller seale.\u2018I'he little old one story brick tuilding that stood for so matly decades in the little town of Harper's Ferry was brought to Chicago, as old Libby prison had been, re-erected within an inclosure and stocked with war relics.It me or had a profitable day.Bartow\u2019s Music hall, a large vaudeville house, failed because it was surrounded by theaters of a better grade.Jack Haverly has had some sad experi- encés in Chicago this year.He leased the Criterion theater, a well built and handsome House, opened it in connection with a summer garden and called it Haverly\u2019s Criterion Garden theater.Its inaugural was accomplished with a flourish of trumpets, but in two weeks it closed without a 'T BE FOOLED by the dealer who brings out

life.\u2018No more show business for me,\u201d says the colonel.He has made and lost fortunes as a minstrel manager, but says he knows when be has haa enough.The Savoy Music ball, which was opened about Dec.1, has closed, with salaries for three weeks unpaid; the People\u2019s theater, only a few seasons ago one of the most profitable playhouses in Chicago, has just at tbe holiday time closed its doors for want of patronage, and there are at least : half a dozen more of the \u2018\u2018up town\u201d thea- ters\u2014there are several of these, located from one to two miles from the business center of the city\u2014that are in very bad financial condition.I doubt if there are three theaters in Chicago today making any money.Truly, these are troublous times.\u2014 In spite of the lamentable fate of his Spectatorium, Steele Mackaye is undaunut- ed.Ittakes a great deal to daunt the author of \u201cHazel Kirke\u2019 and \u201cPaul Kauvar.\u201d | The great historical production called \u2018The World Finder,\u201d which he was to have | brought out on such a colossal scale during the World\u2019s fair, is soon to bave a hearing, though in a form modified somewhat from the original plans.It will be backed by the Chicago Entertainment company and will be given in the building formerly occupied by the Chicago Fire Pauorama, which, by the way, is another failure of the World's fair year that I had overlooked.The building has been remodeled into an auditorium, with a large seating capacity, and at the rear has been constructed a large stage after the plans of the inventor\u2014who built the double stage of the New York Madison Square theater\u2014upon which will be displayed the 25 traveling stages and the paraphernalia used in the big spectacle, | Above the stage are rooms to be used by the orchestra and the invisible chorus, which will be amalgamated with the scenic production.There are also roomy apartments for the reception of the complicated machinery which is to move the telescopic stages, and the exhibit of electricity will be under the control of one man.Mackuye has added many new inventions, and it is prownised that the electrical effects will be a great surprise.If the production proves à success such as the projectors anticipate, the entire theater going public of the eoun- try will be given a chance to see \u2018\u2018The World Finder.\u201d The appearances in \u2018The Crust of Society\u201d of the once famous burlesquestar, Lydia Thompson, bring up a reminiscence of the days when I was a boy.It was about 25 or 26 years ago that the first real \u2018\u2018British Blonds\u2019 \u201d burlesque company landed on the hospitable shores of Lake Michigan.They created a furore, but some of the newspapers pronounced their show immoral.Among these was The Times, which viciously attacked the fair Lydia in its editorial columns.The burlesquer took the law into her own hands, and one forenoon inthe fall of 1867, accompanied by Pauline Markham, the stately, she drove up Michigan avenue to the residence of the great editor, Wilbur F.Storey, waited until he came down bis doorsteps en route for his office, and then proceeded to give him a gocd horsewhipping, Markham lending her stalwart aid.Storey retaliated only by silence #nd pursued the same course in bis newspaper until his death 10 years ago.No advertisement was ever permitted in The Times\u2019 columns if it mentioned Miss Thomp- ° son\u2019s name, and no comment was ever allowed on her performances.More than a quarter of a century has passed since then.Lydia is as fair as ever and doesn\u2019t look 10 years older.Pretty Alice Evans is now playing the leading role in \u201cA Texas Steer.\u201d I went into the Grand to see her & few evenings since; but, in spite of her winsome face and | intelligent performance of the role of Bossy, I couldn\u2019t enjoy it.The role was created by poor Flora Walsh, who died so suddenly last spring.She was the very embodiment of the honest, open hearted Texas girl, and the character was written for her by Charley Hoyt, her husband.The Ta ALICE EVANS, many good qualities of Flora Walsh will keep her long in the memory of all who knew her, and I for one have no desire to see another woman play her favorite character.Alice Evans was born at Sedalia, Mo., Nov.8,187.When quite young she moved with her parents to St.Louis, in which city she gained her education at the Loretta convent.Her first stage experience was with the Conreid and Hermann Opera company during the season of 1886-7, when she sang in the chorus.The season of 1887-8 she played Susan with Bartram & Burbidge\u2019s \u201cA Night Off\u201d company.In 1888 she joined Hoyt & Thomas\u2019 \u2018*A Brass Monkey\u201d company for a few weeks, and was then transferred to their \u2018Hole in the Ground\u201d company, playing the Telegraph Girl.She has since been almost uninterruptedly Thomas, or, as the firm now is,

clamor against the brutality of football as it isnow played that the game will be materially modifed before the next season opens.Prominent ex-football players who have great influence over the college teams have been agitating the matter quietly, with a view to making the game more open and interesting to look at, and at the same time to remove the brutal features in the shape of flying wedges, mass plays and rough interference.A committee consisting of recognized football authorities from Harvard, Yale, Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania will soon be appointed, and it is proposed to change the present rules of the Intercollegiate Football association.It is possible that the committee will consist of Walter Camp, Billy Rhodes and Josh Hart- well of Yale; Billy Brooks, George Stewart and Arthur Cumnock of Harvard; Tracey Harris, Alex Moffat and Phil King of Princeton, and George Woodruff and ex- Captain H.A.Mackey of the University of Penusylvania.Arthur Knipe, the

Macaulay's \u2018\u2018Lays\u201d are instinct with the very =oul of poetry, and are full of herolc action and energy.Like Scott's spirit-stirring ballads, they have a fine picturesque quality, with graphic breadth, and great realistic power of expression.The linglish, no less than the Roman lays, have the breath of the battlefield and the sounding notes of the charge to battle.4 The House of the Seven Gables, .By NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, This masterpieceof Hawthorne'sis full of the imaginative cuarm of romance.In felicity of touch, its author is unapproached by auy writer since his own day.The work is, perhaps, the purest piece of poetic prose in all the range of American literature.5.Cranford, - By Mrs.GASKELL.\u201cCranford,\u201d in its charming miniature painting and sketches of character, recalls the best of Jane Austen\u2019s novels, 1t is a delightful piece of old world social life in an English country village, descriptive of the feelings, habits, opinions, character and social coi.ditions of the little community.The story is quiet earnestness and with fine literary aptitudes in the writer.It is beautifully illus trated.6.The Coming Race, Lorp Lyrrox \u201cThe Coming Race,\u201d by Lord Lytton, is a clever and ingenious excursion into the realm of science, as the inventive mind of man may find it in the coming time.1t presents a curious but fascinating picture of the human environment, as we may sce it rcalized in the next century, when hnman needs will be served by every resource of electrical and mechanical contrivance\u2014when \u2018the coming race,\u2019 for instance, will be enabled to exchange domestic helps for ingenious and mercury-footed automatons, and have at command every appliance adapted to the marvellously changed social and industrial condition of things.7.Dream Life, - By Ix.MARVEL.(DoNALD G.MITCHELL.) There is a profound mental study in this world-wide American classic.It contains a series of very vivid and picturesque studies of individual character and feeling.It has a fascinating power over the reader while its graceful diction charms the literary appreciation and fills the mind with delightful, though sometimes pathelic pictures.8.Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, By Mrs.SurLLEyY, Like Mrs.Crowe's Night Side of Nature Mrs.Shelley's \u201cFrankenstein\u201d is a book every one should read.Its author has great imaginative power and a weirdbut original zenius.There are passages in \u201cFrankenstein\u201d that appal the mind and make the fiesh creep.Once read, the book can hardly ever be forgotten 9.A Book of Golden Deeds, By C.M, Yonce This is just the book to put into the hand of youth, circulating a healthy morality, and true manly and womanly sentiments.IFew books are better formed than this to develop and mould the tastes of the rising generation and encourage optimistic and patriotic ideas.10 Mosses from an Old Manse, By NaTHANIEL HAWTHORNE Another delightful companion for idle hours is this collection of magazine apers, which Hawthorne entitled \u2018Mosses from an Old Manse.\u201d Like all hisworks, it is distinguished for its simplicity and truth.Its high iterary excellence commends it anew to public favor 11.The Scarlet Letter, By NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE A romance of intense interest, exhibitingex- traordinary power of mental analysis and graphic description.For an artistic exposition of uritanism, as modified by New England colonial life, we have nothing like it in our literature.Like the best of Scott's novels, it ig true at once to the local mannersand scenic features of the age and place.12, Essays of Elia, By Cartes Lame , These charming essays are full of gay humor interspersed with many sly hits, happy puns and bright scintillations of w t: carefully elaborated as they are, they are written with the utmost easc¢ and grace, and composed in a gpiritat once delicate and unobtrusive, Sceking his material in the conimon paths of life \u2014even the humblest\u2014Lamnb gives an importance to everything and sheds a grace over all.3.Vicar of Wakeffeld, By OLiver GoLpsMITH.This beautifully illustrated edition of a famous English classic will increase its attrac tions for those who recognize the claim it_has as essentially a \u201chome book\u201d for the whole reading world.Goldsmith has shed overthe work the tenderest light of his genius, and the pastoral scenes in it are unrivalled, we had almost said unapproached, by any other writer of fiction.As Sir Walter Scott said of it, \u201cwe read the Vicar of Wakefield in youth and in age.and return to it again and again, and bless the memory of an author who contrives so well to reconcile us to human nature.\u201d 15.Paul and Virginia, By BERNARDIN DE SAINT PIERRE This idyllic story, by a classic French writer of the wholesome romantic school, is an immortal book, and has won a place for itself in the homes of alinost every people who possess a literature and can appreciate the work of genius.It may, with some literary propriety, ve termed

powerful story, {nll of graphic descriptions and the most appealing pathos.The author seems to have followed no recognized model of romance, but struck out à new path in-fiction for herself.Her novel consists of a series of studies illustrating the wild life of an ostrich farm in South Africa, and setting before the reader, with striking vigor, the problems which trouble a strong intelligenee and an imaginative ambition.remote from any possibility of culture.The work which leaves an abiding memory on every reader is one of the most remarkable novels of theage.17.Lays of The Seottish Cavaliers.By Wn.EpMoNSTOUNE AYTOUN.These stirring ballads of Professor Aytoun, of Blackwood fame, have their only rival in \u201cMacaulay's Lays of Ancient Rome.Their popularity is not lessened by the fact that they are to be met with in every school reader and in the repertoire of most elocutionists and platform declaimers, 18.Lucile, - By Owz~x MEREDITH (ROBERT Lorp LYTTON.) \u201cLucile,\u201d by the second Lord Lytton, late Governor-Geucral of India and British Ambassador at Paris, is a novel in verse, with riymed couplets, cast somewhat in the mould of Mrs, Browning's \u201cAurora Leigh.\u201d 19.Dreams.- By Orrvr SCHREINER.Though unlike the \u201cStory of an African Farm,\u201d \u201cDreams\u201d has many of the characteristics which made Miss Bchrelner's early work famous.The book is both interesting and suggestive, and, hesides its high medito- tive qualities, is rich in the discussion of those menthl and moral problems which this clever writer delights to propourd to herself and lay before the thoughtful reader.20.Black Beauty.BY ANNA NEWELL.The tale well deserves its great popularity, forit is wonderfully realistic, and makes 's strong appeal to those who love dumb animals and possess the {nstinet of common humanit ve It is a book to charm and impress all who have to do with horses, especially those who seek ta suppress that most senseless of ail vices, cruelty to animals, 21, One of the Profession.A CHARMING THEATRICAL NOVEL, \u201cTam very glad to have your story,\u201d Mary E, Wilkins writes in a note to the author of \u201cOne où the Profession,\u201d \u2018\u2018and it interests me deeply.knew nothing of the dramatic life which you depict, and it has ior me the charm of novelty, although the strength of the story by no means depends upon that, Thavealways felt that there was a great chance for good work in that field if the writer came who was fami liar with it.\u201d The book chains the interest of the reader from the first chapter, embodying all that fascination and mysterions charms which the Jloyor, having one life ina mimie world be- ore all men, aud another mysterious unknown will always have for the people on the other side of the footlights.\u2018 22 Sartor Resartus, ° BY THOMAS CARLYLE, Few men have given a mightier impulse ta the intellectual and moral life of his age than Thomas Carlyle.Heis perhaps the most profound, the most dramatic, the 1n0st imaginative, and the most original writer of the century.With greatacutenessof thought and a marvellously forceful power and description.he has enriched the literature of the time ag na other writer has enriched it.\u201cSartor Re- sartus\u201d (the tailor remade) is of the same unique type as Carlyle\u2019s own character.It professes to be a review of a German treati-: on dress, but it is this only in an allegorical metaphysical sense.It isin reality under a figure of a Vesture of clothes, a veiled metaphysics, according to which all things visible, especially we ourselves, are but a garment of sensuous appearance.Kvery object has a double \" significance ; but far down, in the heart of things, aud under every apparition, is the fair and indestructible reality.24, \"The Pleasures of Life.By Srr Joux Lussock, Br.This is one of the most instructive as well as the delightful books of the time.It is writton with a student's devotior.and interest, and the authors enthusiasm infects every reader.The book deals with the intellectual upbuildingand informing of the modern man, and will be found well nigh an education in itself.The contents of tic chapters are : Part 1.\u2014Chapter L\u2014The duty of happiness: Chapter II.\u2014The happiness of duty ; Chapter IIL\u2014A song of books ; Chapter IV.\u2014The choice of books ;

and the \u2018Lay of the Last Minstrel,\u201d though it is moverichly picturesque, as well as more interesting in plot.The same glow of national feeling breathes through the poem, the same felicity of description, the saine light and color, the satne instinct for andl ove of martial ardor, with many inimitable touches of tender passion.Scott's fervid patriotism and love of country are equally distinguishable in the poem and animates and illumines every line, In the power of simple narrative this famous metrical romance is almost unequalled.26.Mornings in Florence, By Joux Ruskix, LL.D, There is no greater writer of English prosa than Ruskin; his diction is magnificent, while his feeling for the beautiful in art or in nature isunexampled.He is not only a versatile art- critic, but perhaps the most learned as well as the most enthusiastic exponent of architecture.His \u201cMornings in Florence\u201d are charming studies of the beauties of the historic ¥lor- entine capitsl, told with.a lover\u2019s interest in art, and with much elevated thought andin- spiring reflection, The passages are many that fascinate thereader by theireloquence and, suggestiveness.None has said truer

and Sheer White Muslin Are Inexpensive and Popular Draperies, The common Nottingham curtains bave had their day and are fast being relegated to drape ice cream saloons and barber shop windows.The sheer white muslins, scrim and other soft draperies are far preferable and can be well laundered athome, thereby saving the expense of sending them out.The cheapest kind of curtains\u2014for instance, cheesecloth, if clean\u2014are far better than none, as they serve to give a finished and cozy appearance to almost any room.In winter colored curtains may be hung over the white with but little expense.They give a look of warmth and comfort to a room.A certain housewife was at her wits\u2019 end how to curtain the three windows of ber bedroom with the material on hand, which consisted of 22 yards of salmon colored sateen, with a red leaf and vine running through it.The windows were much too large for the amount of goods in question, and how would they look without white curtains beneath?These she had not, but there were 12 yards of new mosquito net stored away.This was brought forth and cut in three pieces, making three curtains 24 yards wide and 44 yards long.This gave only one curtain for each window-\u2014too wide for one, too narrow for two and much too long.The outlook was rather disheartening, but something must be done, and this is the result: She made a hem and casing B R da INEXPENSIVE WINDOW DRAPERY.| _æ White cotton in the top of each piece of net, through which a stout twine was run; then one yard and a haif from this another casing was made by running a half inch tuck in the net, through which was run a strong white tape.A steel eyelet was screwed in the window frame at B and B and two more at C and C, the distance of a half yard from the first eyelets.The net curtain was then hung, tying the twine taut between B and B.The tape in the second casing was then secured between C and C.This drew up the curtain the right length and made a pretty puff lambrequin above.The 23 yards of sateen were then made into three curtains\u2014two for each win- dow\u2014and the narrow hem at the top wasrun en a small iron rod, and the bent ends were fastened in the eyelets at CC.Thenet fell over the sateen curtains one-half yard and gave the effect of a transom above.The result was charming in the extreme and has converted the room into a bright and cozy nest.The sateen curtains (2 E)are held back with ribbon or cord during the day and loosened at night, thus dispensing with shades.DD D D is the net curtain, and F the window sill, This accidental transom appearance proved to be & happy discovery and dispels the darkness and gloom usuaily made by winter curtains, The mosquito net has the look of sheer muslin and nothing of the appearance for which it originally was intended.In opening the windows the curtains are pushed back from the sides instead of the middle, and in summer they will serve the double duty of curtains and fly screens.The same plan was carried out in furnishing the dining room, only thin cheesecloth was used instead of net, and common 10 cent burlap, with an applice of figures of blue denim, took the place of the sateen.Canton flannel (double faced) in any shiade would give a pleasing of- fect, but always manage to have white ones beneath, if only the cheapest, advises Good Housekeeping, from which the foregoing isreproduced.The burlap curtains were held back with a loop and bow of clothesline, which can be either gilded, colored or left plain.If curtain poles are already in one's possession, they may be used instead of the iron rod.Never use two poles, as they would spoil the effect, The 5 o\u2019Civek Tea Table.The return of the tete-a-teta.service to the 5 o'clock tea table is one of the small changes of the season.Heretofore harlequin sets or silver and china combined have been the most popular furnishings of this small but most hospitable and social board, but the complete sets, including the china tray of a few years ago, are now to be seen in the high class drawing rooms and, it may be added, in the high class shops\u2014which being the cause and which the effect is not known.Some of the most pleasing services are those of a clear, cream porcelain, with handles, spouts and cover tips, in the case of teapot and sugar bowl, of gilt.Walnut Cream Candies.\u2019 Two cupfuls of coffee crust sugar, two- thirds cupful of boiling water, one-half saltspoonful of cream of tartar.Boil BAGGING THE BABIES.A XNightdress That Defies Jack Frost ani Keeps Little Feet Warm.It is not only the baby, but his little brothers and sisters, too, who give anxiety night after night the long, cold winter through.All the careful tucking in and the snug wrapping will fail sometimes.The little feet are \u2018certain gure\u201d to kick their way lustily out in gpite of all these precautions, What is to be done?The mother of several little children replies as follows in The Country Gentleman: For a bit of a 2-year-old five yards of cating will make two gowns, and six yards will make two for the little 4-yezr- old next in order.There are various mevrran ee arene vo z mmm ad THE BAG NIGHTGOWN.grades of outing flannel, but the softest, fuzziest is what is needed here and can be obtained at 124 centsayard.First cut off sleeve lengths for both little nighties, then halve the goods left and lay aside one-half.Take the other piece and fold it in the middle and proceed to shape the ends.The shoulders and arin sizes may be formed with the two ends together, as they are the same for front and back, and then the neck may be cut in a shallow slope behind and a deeper curve in the front.Now you are ready to sew up the sides \u201cover and over,\u201d stitch the shoulder seams and gather the neck into a little flat binding.Then cut the sleeves, rounded a little at the top and with only one perfectly straight seam inside.The superfluous fullness is gathered into a ruffle at the wrist with an clastic run into the top of the hem, so that it may set very close to the wrists and keep them warm.The mittens are basted into the sleeves at the wrists, and if they are to be made of outing to match ths dress you will need to get a little more goods, as the five or six yards do not allow much margin even for wee mittens, Tae nightdress opens behind, and the opening should extend a long way down as a needful convenience and be closed with five perfectly flat, small buttons, How to Make Turkey Scallop.Marion Harland\u2019s recipe for turkey scallop provides an excellent ending for the meat cut from the bones of a cold turkey or chicken from yesterday\u2019s dinner: Remove the bits of skin and gristle and chop up the rest very fine.Putin the bottom of a buttered dish a layer of cracker or bread crumbs, Moisten slightly with milk that they may not absorb all the gravy to be poured in afterward.Then spread a layer of the minced turkey, with the bits of the stuffing, pepper, salt and small pieces of butter.Another layer of cracker wet with milk, and so on until the dish is nearly full.Before putting on the topmost layer pour in the gravy lett from the turkey, diluting, should there not be enough, with hot water, and season with Worcestershire sauce, catsup and butter.Have ready a crust of cracker crumbs soaked in warm milk, seasoned with salt and beaten up light with two eggs.It should be just thick enough to spread smoothly over the top of the scallop.Stick bits of butter plentifully upon it and bake.Turn a deep plate over the dish until the contents begin to bubble at the sides, showing that the whole is thoroughly cooked; then remove the cover and brown.A large pudding dish full of the mixture will be cooked in three-quarters of an hour.This, like many other economical dishes, will prove $0 savory as to claim a frequent appearance upén any table.A Dressy Wrapper.The modern tea gown is usually

HABITS OF PRACTICE.Hints Hcipful In the Attainment of Vooal aud Instrumental Music.The average girl works with the easy nortions of a piece of music.She simply passes again and again over the easy spots, always neglecting the difficult snes till weariness sets in, and the whole piece is dropped in its unfinished condition.Why not concentrate upon and master the difficult parts first?The rest will fall into place, and the result will pe satisfactory.One way to accomplish this with a piece that grows more difficult toward the end is to practice it backward, page by page; first one alone, then two together, then three, etc.In this manner the burden of repetition falls upon the heaviest portions, and on the final playing through from the first wonderful results will have been found to have been accomplished without any of that repulsion which the mind feels toward ponderous difficulty.To one who is both a vocal and instrumental musician the difiiculty of keeping up two such rich and distinct lines of action is especially great.Still there are many ways of uniting the two so as to keep both up with comparatively small expenditure of time.À writer in The Musical Courier makes these suggestions: Finger exercise may be made vocal exercise as well.With care and attention both finger and throat muscles may be drilled at once without doing harm to either.Rest may be had from heavy instrumental work by a vocal exercise and vice versa, and by separating difficulties those of each department may be united for the good of the two.In playing one\u2019s own accompaniment, for example, there is much time and vitality wasted by playing and singing together at sight before the technical difficulties of either are overcome or any idea of the meaning of the composition is in the mind.Time, words and accompaniment should be learned independently and made individually perfect before being united.First study the air alone, with a view to pure tone production and correct melody.When this is assured without an instrument, memorize or at least become thoroughly familiar with the words.\"They are never difficult\u2014most of them come without effort.Next unite to them their proper dramatic action.They are for the most part a senseless blur or mechanical recitation for lack of proper attention, Next learn the accompaniment thor- oughly\u2014which means thoroughly.In uniting do not attempt all at once.Play the accompaniment, reading the melody; next speak the words in connection with the playing; next sing the syllable ¢la\u201d with the accompaniment; lastly, unite accompaniment, words and song.The result will be astonishing to the most indifferent.It makes atravesty on a song to rush into it unprepared.Reading part songs separately is excellent practice in uniting melody and accompaniment, and giving a comprehensiveness of grasp that is invaluable, Here a knowledge of chords and keys is again found of most value.The Stocking Darner.The old fashioned

twillight of that overcast February day close down, She lay on a broad, low sofa, half buried in cushions, her small face gleaming out like marble against their rose tints, the large blue eyes, so brilliant with happy love-light a few brief weeks ago, dim with watchig and much weeping now.Outside the wind was rising.The trees rocked in the gale, the darkness deepened, the first heavy rain-drops began pattering against the glass.Inside the gloom deepened also, until the little, pale face was barely visible.All day long she had heen alone, sick in body, sick in soul, crushed of heart.Now she was straining her ears, for the first sound of that familiar step on the stairs for the first note of that gay whistle, with which he was wont to herald his coming.To her this twilight hour was the hour of the twenty-four, for it almost invariably brought Eric, to dress or dine.Her maid entered to light the lamps, but the soft little voice sent her away.\u201cNot yet,\u201d she said, gently.\u201cI like the dusk.Has \u2014 has my lord come home ?\u201d \u201cNo, my lord has not come home,\u201d the Frenchwoman answered, with a compassionate glance at the drooping figure.Alas ! was not my lord\u2019s defection as well known in the servants\u2019 hall as in salon or chamber ?: Where was he to-day ?\u2014the child wondered.Where was he now?Was he with her \u2014that wicked, beautiful, brown woman ?Oh! to be able to win him back, her very own, her husband, and hold him from them all ! Was God punishing her for loving too greatly, for worshipping the creature instead of the Creator ¢ Shedid not know\u2014it might be wicked\u2014this unreasoning worship of hers; but wicked or worthy, it would last until her life\u2019s end.She could see her face now as she lay\u2014the room was lined with mirrors.What a pitiful, pale face it was! And he liked rosy bloom, peachy plentiful flesh and blood.The dancing woman had these \u2014 she had nothing left but the moonlight shadow of her pearl face, and her true and tender heart.Good and pleasant things but not likely long to hold a sensuous, changeful, beauty-worshipping.thoroughly selfish man.Dimly she knew this, and with a half sob, buried that poor wasted face in her hands.He had fancied her from the first, only for her pretty flower-like looks; let her lose the charms, as she was losing fast, and her last hold on her husband\u2019s heart was gone, She lay thinking so intently, that she did not hear the door pushed gently open and a tall figure come in.It came softly over, and knelt on one knee beside her, and so, in the dusk of the room, looked down upon the colorless, wasted face, the locked hands, from which the wedding ring hung loose.Suddenly her eyes opened.\u201cIt is I, Crissy,\u201d he said.The bewildered look changed to electric s irprise and joy.She flung her arms around his neck, and held him as though she would never let him go.\u201cPoor little soul!\u201d he said, more moved then he cared to show.**You have been alone all day, and have got the horrors.Were theze none of them here\u2014my mother\u2014France\u2014all day ?\u201d \u2018Yes, both.Your mother stayed an hour, and then went to make some calls with Terry.France stayed and read to we all the morning.She is so good\u2014 my own dear France.They are all good but- but,\u201d the clinging arms close together, he can feel her passionate heart beat; \u2018Oh, my love! I only want you.\u201cPoor little Chris!\u201d It is all he can say.He lays his face beside hers for a moment, and is still.He is thinking of this time to-morrow\u2014 he knows as surely as that he rests here, that the bullet that kills him ends her life.Andit is for that dark daughter of Herodias, he has forsaken her.All at once a loathing to Felicia, of himself comes upon him.What a black and brutal wretch lie is! how utterly unworthy of this spotless wife, whose heart he is breaking.If the past could but come again ! if what is done could be undone, how different he would act, how happy he wauld make her.But it is too late for all that\u2014the end has come.\u201cCrystal,\u201d he says gentiy, \u201cI've not been a very good sort of husband, I'm afraid\u2014I never was a very good sort of fellow at any tine.I've done enough to forfeit all right to your love, but\u2014you care for me still?\u201d \u201cCare for you.\u201d she whispered.And then the clinging grasp tightens, and she can say no more.\u201cYes, I know you do,\u201d he says, with a stifled sigh, \u201cit\u2019s awfully good of you, Chris, for I have been a brute, that\u2019s the truth.And look here, I don\u2019t mean this really, you know, but if anything happened; if\u2019\u2014with a slight laugh\u2014I chanced to die for instance\u2014\u201d But she interrupts him witha shrill cry, like a child that had been struck.\u201cEric!\u201d \u201cFoolish child! Do I look hike dying?It is only a supposititious case\u2014let me put it.If I chanced to die, say to-mor- row, you would forgive me all my wrongdoing, my neglect?You would not have one bad thought of me, would you?\u201d She half raises herself, and tries to look at him.But, still laughing, he holds her so that she cannot see his face.\u201cAnswer, sweetheart\u2014would you?\u201d \u2018I never had one hard thought of you in all my life, Eric, never, so I could hove nothing to forgive.1f you died\u201d\u2014 she catches her breath with a sort of gasp as she says it\u2014\u2018\u2018Do you think I could live?*\u2018Oh, love, that is all past.I can never have any life now apart from you!\u201d \u201cYou think so,\u201d he says, uneasily; \u201cbut you are young and\u2014you only think so \u201cI know so,\u201d she answers, under her breath; and instinctively he knows it too.\u201cWell,\u201d he says, at length, after a long pause, \u201cregrets are useless, but I wish with all my soul the past three weeks could come over again.I ought to have made you happy, little wife, and I have not.1f\u2014if the time is given me Iswear I will, Now,let me go; I have letters to write, and much to do this evening.\u201d \u201c\u201cYou,\u201d\u2014she pauses, and looks at him with oh,such wistful, longing eyes\u2014¢\u2018you are going out, as usual, Eric?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d he says, smilling down upon her.¢I am going to remain in, as unusual, Crystal.Iie here until dinner is announced; will write my letters in your boudoir.You know I must always be alone when my epistolatory attacks come on.\u201d He unlooses the clasping arms and goes.And Crystal nestles down among her pillows, and shuts her eyes to keep back the joyful tears that come to wo- wan alike in bliss and in pain.Just now her bliss is so great, that it is almost pain; she cannot, cannot realize it.He passes through the dressing-room, into the pretty mirror-lined, satin-hung nest beyond, that is Crystal's sitting room, leaving both door ajar.He lights the lamps himself, draws pens, ink, and paper before him, and sits down to write.He must leave a few partlng lines with Bovil for his mother and Crystal in case of the worst.He wishes he had made a will to-day instead of going to Asnieres but it is too late for that.The title and estate go to a distant cousin of his father\u2019s, unless\u2014yes, there is one unless.It is something Crystal has never spoken of\u2014he thinks himself it is unlikely.\u201cBy Jove !\"\u201d he says, under his breath.*\u2018T hope so, for her sake, poor little soul.It will console her; and dead or alive, a fellow likes to perpetuate the title.\u201d He begins his mother\u2019s letter first.It will be easier.He writes, \u201cHotel du Louvre, Eebruary 26, 18\u2014.My dear mother.\u201d and there he stops, and gnaws the gold handle of his pen, and pulls his amber mustache, and stares at the blank sheet with troubled blue eyes.What shall he say?It will almost go as hard with her as with Crystal.Absolutely these preliminaries are worse than the thing itself, (TO BE CONTINUED.)

INDUSTRY.The Democratic and independent press throws a strong, clear light upon the assertion that the industrial depression in the United States 1s due to the threat of free trade.The tariff reform papers have been taking the individual industries which have been said to have been suspended for this cause alone.They have produced sound evidence of the fact that most of the manufasturs\u2019 ers in question have enjoyed substantial profits, uninterrupted even when the depfession was at its lowest ; and they have drawn the natural inference that wherever a mill has been shut down, or a factory closed, its proprietors have sought to make evidence for the defeat of the Democratic meas- upe of tariff reform.Ii isa fact that in several industrial centres such men as have been thrown out of employment on account of these cowardly tactics on the part of their masters have been persuaded that the manufacturers, leis the solemn truth, and that to Grover Cleveland is directly chargeable the hunger and destitution of their wives and little ones.The American press is doing a goed work in laboring to show theaé deluded and unfortunate men that, in their greed for great gains under a high tariff, their masters have sacrificed them in their desperate battle for better terms than Mr.Wilson seems to have offered them in the bill that bears his name in Congress.The Philadelphia Times gives a striking illustration of the manner in which the American cotton manufacturers have howled calamity, and as that howl was not unlike the howl which Mr.Edgar drew from the Canadian cotton lords, and as the evidence on both sides of the line pointed to dividends of a sort which should have been most satisfactory, the case is worthy of review.The Times remarks that last year was an especially trying one to the cotton industries of the New England States, and continues: The market quotations for cloths and Jorns have been peculiarly and painfully ow, and the demand for print cloths has been so small that mill corporations were compelled to declare that the only alternative of relief lay between a shut-down upon toductions or a cut down in wages.Fall iver, as the central and leading production centre, took the initiative in this conclusion, and its Board of Trade avoided a strike only by adopting conciliatory measures in its discussion of the question with the Spinners\u2019 Union\u2014a strongly backed organization, which has the funds on hand to enable it to tide over a long period of enforced idleness.Indeed, a strike against lower wages was only averted by an accident and a compromise, and 20,080 operatives were kept at work as the less of two evils.~ And there were no tariff disturbances to account for this narrowly escaped coniiict.The Wilson Bill was not a feature in the casc.lt was simply a question of supply and demaud.The manufacturers claimed that they were making no profit on their productions, and had either to cut down wages or ourtail the output in order not merely to pay dividends but to save their corporations from absolute loss or bankruptey.On the other hand the employes argued that if the price of cloth was lamentably low, the price of cotton was worse still, and that the margin between the price of manufactured goods and the raw cotton out of which they were made was large enough to warrant a non- disturbance of the rate of wages, even if it became necessary to resort to short time as a means of clearing the market of accummn- lated stocks.And that the ihen were in the right is now shown in the annual statement of dividends paid during the current year.The document shows that thirty-four corporations, owning and working fifty-six mills, have paid in dividends during 1893 the sum of $1,622,000, upon an invested capital of $20,378,000, or at the average rate of 7.96 per centum.Considering that this has been earned in a year of hard times, during which there was almost a general shut-down of operations for several weeks, and a cut- down of wages running from nine to sixteen per cent.was insisted upon and enforced, it would secm that cotton inannfacturers have been crying out before they were hurt, and have been getting up a calamity howl for which there was no justification.The Canadian cotton men know a trick worth two of giving to the public an unvarnished statement of their affairs.More especially have they sought to conceal all traces of profits and their declaration that they are in the business for their health seems to have gone a long way towards persuading a portion of the public that the cotton duties are a blessing in disguise.Face to face with a definite proposition for the revision of the cotton duties, they would probably assume an attitude even more uncompromising than they have already done.And they would say, with quite as little reason as they have already displayed, that any revision, unless it had an upward tendency, would force them to close their mills.But like that of the American concerns, their contention that they were making no profits would be easily disproved by every circumstance outside the showing of their own books.And like those of the American firms their profits would be undisturbed for all their howling.Tae P.P.A.is showing undeniable strength in Ontario.It elected its candidate for mayor in Hamilton by over sixteen hundred majority over the

Edward Island and Ontario, have held plebiscites and in each the principle of prohibition has been affirmed by overwhelming majorities.In Ontario the figures will not be complete for some days, but the estimate of a three to one vote in favor of prohibition will in all probability be verified.The country municipalities\u2019 vote will be certain to count heavily for prohibition, seeing that the towns and villages, which in the Scott Act contests always proved more favorable to the liquor traflic than the rural districts, have also decided that way.In most cities and towns the majority for prohibition is large enough to be surprising.In Toronto it was in the neighborhood of three thousand ; in Ottawa of nine hundred ; Brantford, nine hundred ; Guelph, six hundred ; St.Thomas, one hundred.The towns which gave a decision against prohibition are few in number.They are : Pembroke, eight majority ; Prescott, 116 majority ; Beriln, 500 majority ; Waterloo, 300 majority.Two of these towns, Prescott and Waterloo, have breweries for their principal industries.The net result of the vote will be the impetus given to the movement in favor of prohibition by the knowledge that in every province where it has been submitted to the people it has been approved by immense majorities.But there will be no attempt by the Legis- Intures of the Provinces to give effect to the wishes of the people on this matter.It is the opinion of Sir Oliver Mowat that the power to prohibit the sale of liquor is vested solely in the Federal authority.The provinces can restrict and control the trafic but cannot prohibit it.The Domrsion Government has not accepted this view of the question; though it has always by its conduct in Parliament recognized a certain responsibilty of dealing in some way with the subject.It has by one clever expedient after another postponed thus far the taking of decisive action.The appointment of the intinerant prohibition commission was a master-stroke in the campaign of postponement; but the report of this commission will be forthcoming in time and then the Dominion Government will have to do something for the issueis becoming decidedly too serious to be trifled withbyany party.Probably, following the suggestion of Sir Oliver Mowat there will be a reference to the judicial tribunal for the determination of the question as to where the power of prohibition lies.A decision in confirmation of Sir Oliver\u2019s would at once make prohibition a burning issue, with results very embarrassing to the administration of the day.opinion THE TORONTO MAYORALTY.Promoters of municipal reform in Montreal need not be altogether discouraged by Mr.Fleming's defeat for the mayoralty in Toronto.It is true that he was the avowed and accredited representative of tlhe forces of economy and honesty in that city.It is true that for twe years he enjoyed the support of the aldermen of the better sort.It is true that his policy was onc of retrenchment and that his friends can point with satisfaction to several valuable reforms that he himself effected.Still, it is equally true that behind Mr.Kennedy were ranged those several elements of the population which for years have been the uncompromising eneinies of municipal advancement.Dut of these issues the electors lost clear sight on election day.Last year, tax bills were swelled through the determination of the administration that current expenditure should be met out of taxes instead of through an increase of the city debt.These high tax bills told against Mr.Fleming.The objection to third term was undoubtedly great.Against him were pretty solidly arrayed the Conservative vote, the Orange and \u2018\u2018society\u201d votes, and the Methodist vote.The Mayor appealed to the people on his record alone ; spent no money, and had no organization.And, finally, in spite of popular admiration for his courageous defence of the treasury, and detestation for the policy of his opponents, he had little personal popularity.Mr.Kennedy, on the other hand, was a man of a wide popularity, and enjoyed the high esteem of the mercantile community, besides the support of the several interests that have been mentioned.Moreover, he was able to split the ranks even of the municipal reformers, and had among his supporters many of the worthiest citizens\u2019 It may be fairly presumed that with Mp: Kennedy the old \u2018\u2018gang,\u201d which was most active in his election, will have little influence.One of the most notable circumstances of the election was the presence of The Evening News among the journalistic supporters of Mr.Kennedy.Never, from the candidature of the late W.H_ Howland, in 1886, has The News failed to \u2018\u2018call the turn.\u201d It supported Mr.Howland in 1886 and 1887, E.F.Clarke in 1888, 1890 and 1891 (Mr.Clarke being unapposed in 1889), Mr.Fleming in 1891 and 1892, and Mr.Kennedy in 1893.Luck may have had something to do with these several successes.But they have been more probably due to the skill with which The News has been able to lay its finger upon the pulse of organized labor, through all the seeming inconsistencies and divergencies of the labor leaders.This vote rules in Toronto nore com- pletely, perhaps, than anywhere elsc in Canada, and under never so little guidance, has made few mistakes in municipal politics in that city.THOUGH THERE Is unquestionably dis- tress\u2014widespread and acute\u2014in the United States, affairs are probably not as bad as excitable journals seek to make out.The Springtield Republican, a levelheaded paper, after a rigid investigation of the statistics of the unemployed, comes to the conclusion that \u2018\u2018there is call for more moderation in approaching this question.The conditions that demand an alarm-cry do not exist, and to proceed on the contrary assumption can but aggravate the industrial situation.\u201d FRENCH PRESS.EVERYONE TO HIS OWN TRADE.Under the heading ¢ Everyone to His Own Trade,\u201d the Moniteur du Commerce of Montreal, says :\u2014*\u201cWe much regret to have again to point out to the proper parties one of those irritating abuses which will end by causing those who commit them more trouble than they imagine.Certain religious teaching communities take the liberty of engaging in trade, and in trade which is absolutely disloyal, because it is coutrary to their canonical coustitution, and contrary even to the law which constitutes their civil corporations.These communities after having obtained a charter from Parliament which grants them certain rights and gives them the privilege of heing exempted from taxes laugh at the simplicity of the good public and compete with them even in industrial and commercial matters.In certain colleges pupils are sold the goods they need; not only books, pens, etc., but clothing, boots, etc., at prices so profitable that, in these colleges ex- einpted from taxation, the attendants and the cost of maintaining the store cost nothing or almost nothing.In certain communities of women a drug trade 'is carried on ; in others a trade in linenware, etc.And then sowe religious communities of men carry on printing and binding, others carpentry and others again shoemaking.From the way things are going, the public will soon find among these communities what is required for all domestic purposes.Do you know what will be the final result of all these encroachments ?To weaken the respect dueto religion, to render theclergy contemptibleand to rousea tempest which will be calmed only when the pecple, exasperated by all these abuses, will have sent to Parliament nrembers determined to abolish without mercy all the civil charters ranted to the communities in this country.This misfortune which we \u2018fear for them, and fur which the civil element cannot Le held responsible, is neager than people may think.In order to destroy the abuses which we point out, it is perfectly useless less to address the diocesan authorities; ; it is not their custom to eondescend to do justice to the civil element.Must we address the present Provincial Parliament?No! for we know how royally they laughed at the commercial class, and how much they are disposed to | give everything to the religions element.But what then can we do ?Endure it until the day when we can have the laws modified by a more enlightened community.Those who have good reasons to complain could perhaps summon those communities before the courts by means of a writ of quo warranto ; but this step would be problematical ; and would anyone dare to undertake it ?The Home Rule Funa.Edward Blake has given The Globe the following interesting letter :-\u2014 Sir,\u2014At sundry times and in divers places, and very lately in the columns of one of your contemporaries, there have appeared extremely erroneous and prejudicial statements as to the finance of the Irish Parliamentary party.Will you allow me as a humble member of that party, who has been for some time familiar with these concerns, to place the trath briefly before my fellow countrymen ?For each of the vears 1891-1892 and 1892- 1893 the Irish party has taken the unexampled course of publishing audits of its transactions, made by chartered public accountants, and for exact and detailed figures I refer to these audits.- A glance at them will show that there were during the year ending October 31, 1893, three funds, the evicted tenants, the Home rule and Parliamentary fund, of which the receipts and payments were as follows : (1) Evicted

and $19,- 500 to registration and election expenses and costs, and repayment of an election loan.It must be remembered that these figures by no means represent the total which Ireland herself, out of her poverty, provided for the movement, because there are, quite apart from these central tundy, considerable local and individual subscriptions.collected and disbursed in the Irish constituencies for local political purposes by local organizations, and not under the control of the Parliamentary party.I venture to hope that this statement, for the accuracy of which I vouch, will dispel, at any rate from candid minds, any injurious impressions which may have been created by the suggestions to which I have referred.So much for the past.I will, with your kind permission, trespass once again upon

boillez Square, opp.No, 4 Fire Station, UNCLE SAM'S SECRET SERVICE.How It Deals With Counterfeiters\u2019 Products and Mutilated Coins.Tho secret service is a bureau in the treasury department, whose head is an expert detective and whose subordinates are unknown to the outside world.But the ramifications of this serivce reach out to the different cities of the Union and explore the secluded haunts in quiet country towns.Up in one of the numerous rooms of the treasury department we find a small chamber which is a museum in which are collected the tools, pictures and work of the counterfeiters, On one side is a case of ugly pistols; on the other, a frame full of photos of famous \u2018\u2018shovers of the queer,\u201d while behind a glass are numberless specimens of counterfeit or bad money in bills and coins.To those whose curiosity is excited by the queer exhibit the polite chief clerk is always ready to give information.\u2018There are many little things of interest in the service outside of dry statistics.For instance, it is not generally known that it is against the law to print, photograph, engrave or paint a facsimile of a United States note or coin, but such is the case, Webhavethere,\u2019\u2019 ha continued, pointing to a large placard bearing an engrav- ingwepresenting a $2 bill,'\u2018a picture which was placed in a window to advertise some $2 shoes.This drawing was seized by the officers.A photographer had as an advertisement a representation of a $5 note, and this also was confiscated.\u201cThis photograph of a man seated in a chair and held by two others is the picture of a famous counterfeiter.He was determined we should not catch his face, so, you see, he has wrinkled it up so as to be almost unrecognizable.\u2018\u2018One of the easiest ways of counterfeiting is to change a bill ffom one denomination to another\u2014say a $10 biil to a 8100 note, or $100 to $200.But, as a rule, large bills are not those most often counterfeited, for the reason that it is much easier to pass a $2 note undetected than it is one for £1,000.A small note passes unnoticed where a large one would be challenged.\u2018Of course the counterfeiters are fine engravers, and their work is simply wonderful.Still, they never get off as good a specimen as that put out by the government.near so fine.\u201cWhen a fellow has made false money his first object is to give it an old look, so it can more easily escape detection.Some do this by rubbing a new note in the sweat from an overheated horse, as this gives a soiled, oily look, and others use coffee or tea to effect a stain.\u201cWe have in the department here a lady who is remarkably gifted with such a delicate sense of touch that it is simply impossible to pass a counterfeit on her.One bad note which had passed the subtreas- ury in New York was detected and thrown out while passing through her hands.\u2018\u201cMutilating coin is a foolish habit with some people, and they do not seem to realize that they are practically withdrawing it from circulation.For instance, the 10 cent pieces used by ladies for bangles, or on which initials are cut, can only be redeemed as bullion\u2014they are money no longer, as they no longer represent the coin of the realm.\u2019\u2019\u2014Washington Cor.Philadelphia Times.Advertising Agents.Newspaper advertising agents are the middlemen of the advertising business.You can get a correct idea of the sort of work they perform by imagining the case of a man living in Boston who has a certain piece of property to dispose of which he has reason to believe will find a market in Omaha quicker than elsewhere.But as he is ignorant of the comparative merits of the papers published in Omaha\u2014 perhaps he does not even know their names\u2014he calls in the service of the agent, who is a master of such information.The agent takes the copy of the advertisement, has it put in type, sends a proof and order to each of the Omaha papers which upon his advice it has been agreed touse.He sees that the advertisement appears in the papers properly, and that every concession in the way of special discounts is obtained.Forall this service, the advertiser pays nothing.He is only asked to pay the paper\u2019s regular rates.The agent gets his remuneration in the form of a commission which is allowed him by the publisher.\u2014 John Irving Romer\u2019s

1804.DR.RUSSELL'S STATEMENT.His Side of the Case as Told in The New York Herald.(From The New York Merald.) \u201cDr.Henry Russell, who for years was one of the leading medical practitioners of Quebec, Canada, and who recently bought out the practice of Dr.Zophar F.Dunning, of No.238 Arlington avenue, Brooklyn, as stated in The Herald, feels that he has been unfairly dealt with by his professional brethren since he moved from Brooklyn.| \u201cThe statements which Dr.Dunning is quoted as having made about Dr.Russell since they first met, according to the latter, leaves it to be inferred that Dr.Russell had eloped from Canada with a woman whom he married, in spite of the fact that he had a wife living, and that he had quietly left Brooklyn owing to this fact having been discovered, being in fear that the knowledge of his conduct would militate against his building up a desirable practice.\u201cDr.Russell, who is a hearty, good looking Englishman of middle age, gave me his side of the story yesterday.IT SURPRISED HIM.¢\u201c¢J] am astonished that Dr.Dunning should have made such statements about me as he is alleged to have done,\u2019 said Dr.Russell, earnestly.\u2018I was recommended to Dunning by an agency and was led to believe that Dunning's practice was worth $8,000 a year.1 agreed to pay $12,000 for it, and paid $3,500 down.\u201c1 then learned that Dr.Dunning\u2019s assistant had been very desirous of securing the practice, and had gone to him witha story that I had eloped from Canada.Dunning seemed to turn a willing ear for this fellow\u2019s lies, and finding I was not being introduced to his patients as I ought to be, and as I wes threatened with trouble if I remained, I conciuded to withdraw, as I thought I could do better elsewhere, particularly as I learned that the class of practice 1 had secured was very -different from what had been represented, and was worth only about $2,000 annually.\u201cDunning said he did not care to see me again, but insisted on keeping 82.100 of the money I had paid down, and was then at liberty to sell his practice again to his assistant or to any one else.I was not sorry to get out of the place, but I did object when 1 learned what the doctor had been saying after I had finished with him.PROCURED A DIVORCE.«Tlie story of my having eloped is a lie.I secured a regular divorce from my wife oun October 11 last, and was married to my present wife abont the middle of November.My divorce was secured in the States, and does not require.me to pay any alimony.In spite of this, I do pay my divorced wife a fair sum, and am educating my eighteen.year-old boy in a medical college in Montreal.A Canadian paper did publish a falsehood sbout my marriage, but retracted on learning the facts.\u201cWhy my first marriage was unhappy scems hardly worth going into, but I can at least say that there was no scandal attached to my securing a divorce.I naturally feel warmly on the subject, because, with physicians, as with clergymen, their rivate lives must be above suspicion, and shall feel very grateful to The Herald for giving mea chance to deny the stories which I am sure only emanated with those désirous of doing me an injury.\u2019 \u201d THE GARDEN OF EDEN.A Frenoh Writer Locates It in the Pamirs.M.Edouard Blanc, in the Revue des Deux Mondes, gives it as his opinion that the Garden of Eden was somewhere in the Pamirs.His reasons are:\u2014Even in the present day, those domestic animals with which we are familiar, and which, in ancient times, probally accompanied man in his conquests, are found in these regions in their primitive and savage state.There are seen in abundance on the Pamnir plateau a great variety of wild mountain sheep, goats, horses, and camels, from whose ancestors the domestic animals now used among civilized people are probably descended.Quoting from the original text of Genesis, M.Blanc notices the curious identity of the river Gihon with that of the Djihoun\u2014a name that the great River Oxus bears even now among all peoples speaking the Arabic language.Two localities in the Pamirs answer more or less to the description given in the Book of Genesis, and by reterring to local etymology the \u201cValey of Alai,\u201d in the Kirghiz lan- ruage, signifies \u2018\u201cThe Valley of Iden.\u201d lacing the original Paradise in this valley, the four great rivers would be : the Tarim, which flows to the Fast, represented by one of its sources, the Kilzi-Sou, or the Mark- han-Sou; the Sourk-Ab, which flows to the West, and which, by its junction with the Pendj, forms the Djihoun, or Oxus; the Jaxarte, which flows to the North ; aud, lastly, the ancient outlet of the great Lake Karakoul.By another hypothesis the Garden of Eden would be more to the south, and in the Valley of Ouakhan, also called the Little Pamir, the place which forms the subject of the frontier disputes between England and Russia.In this case the four rivers mentioned would be the Indus, or one of its two affluents, the Houza or the Yarkoun; the Tarim, which would be the the river Pisan; and the Ak-Sou, flowing towards the North ; and the Pendj, flowing towards the West.It is in the basin of the T'arim that are found not only mines gold, but, as we read in Genesis, \u201cthere is bdellium and the onyx-stone.\u201d These regions were entirely unknown to Europeans a few years ago, and everything agrees,\u201d apart from the delights of the place, even its mines of gold,\u201d with the accounts in Scripture of the Garden of Eden.Holloway\u2019s Pills are admirably adapted for the cure of diseases incidental to females.At different periods of life women are subject to complaints which require a peculiar medicine, and it is now an indisputabl fact that there is none so suitable for such complaints as Holloway\u2019s Pills, They are invaluable to females of all ages, young or old, married or single.They purify the bloed, regulate the secretions, correct all suspended functions, give tone to the stomach, and clear the complexion.The first approach of disordered action should be met with appropriate doses of these Pills; whilst taking them no restriction need be placed over the patient.They coutain nothing which can possibly prove injurious to the system.They act by purifying the blood and regulating every organ.R.D.GREET, MINE, MINERAL and INVESTMENT BROKER.Produce & General Commission Agent, OFFICE: ROOM NO.81, Temple Building, St.James St, MONTREAL.Municipal.Railway, and other Bonds, Bought and

Adoption of the Rugby Game\u2014Corbettand Mitchell Released\u2014Ice Trotting This Afternoon \u2014 Death of a Noted English Oarsman.Football at present occupies an unique position, as far as the continent of America is concerned.The question on both sides of the line has been, since the season closed.\u201cHow can we improve the game 2\u201d In this Canada of ours, the discussion as far as It has been carried on, leads one to suppose that our football enthusiasts are desirous of adopting more and more the the undesirable features of the American College game, such as interference, mass plays, etc, and make our game a wide departure from the good old game of Rugby.Whilst we in Canada show a disposition to adept the American principles of the game.Our cousins over the line are thinking out plans for the elimination of such plays as some players wish us to adopt here.A HARVARD MAN'S VIEWS, R.Acton played lust season onthe Harvard eleven.Not only has he played this style of game, but also Rugby in England.In speaking recently about the American game and the proposed changes he said: \u201cYou cannot draw any comparison between the English and American games that will signify very much, because the game has changed so much here that there is little ground to base comparisons Om.This talk of danger in the game the way they play it here is all nonsense.There are fewer serious injuries in the American game than in either the Rugby or Association game in England.\u201cI'he mass and momentum plays cause a good many bruises, and a man fecls sore and lame from playing the game the way we play it here, hut that isn\u2019t anything permanent.In the English Rugby game you are most liable to break your collar bone or injure your shoulder.This is because there is no such thing as foul tackling there, and when a player gets tackled round the ancle on the dead run it lands him on his head every time.I broke my collar-bone twice.; « As to the style of game, it is hard to draw any comparison.For example, in England there is no such thing as making five yards in order to keep the ball.Neither side has the ball, but it is placed between the two teams, and anybody gets it that can.So far as five yards are concerned, they would give you a present of it.OF course, they wouldn't do that\u2014they would tight for half an inch on principle\u2014but what I mean is that they don\u2019t attach any importances to short distances.\u201cIt would make a better game here if they did not allow either side to have the ball to start with.That would do away with all momentum plays and the other objectionable features.I agree thoroughly that these plays ought to be stopped.They are uninteresting to both spectators and players.DO AWAY WITH INTERFERENCE.*¢ Another change which has been proposed would improve the game\u2014if all interference in front of the runner were done away with.In the English game the players run behind, and as soon as a player is tackled he passes the ball to another, who advances it in turn, This makes the game full of surprises and keeps up the interest.\u201cPhen, again, the kicking and catching on the other side is far superior to ours.A player over there will scoop up the ball from the ground with his foot in a way that would astonish the football public here.There is no reason why the players here should not be equally proficient in handling the ball, if it were not for the fact that the rushing tactics make the other departments of the game of comparatively trifling importance.\u2018 My personal preference would be to have more rather than fewer players on a side.If fifteen players were allowed, the mass plays would become too cumbersome and unwieldy, and would be abandoned.Football ingenuity would be directed in other channels, and we would see new departures in the game.\u201c\u2018There is little training and no coaching in England; at least, not such coaching as they have here.There the newspaper reporters are the only coaches.They are old players and are absolutely impartial, so their advice is worth something.When you get through a game you go home thinking you are a great player, and in the morning when you read the papers you find every play dissected, all your hidden faults exposed, and you begin to wonder what you were doing while the game was going on.TRAINING OVERDONE.\u201cI suppose it is necessary to pay more attention to training here, as the season is so much shorter and the men have to get into condition quickly.Nevertheless, I think the thing is overdone in the large colleges.\u2018U heartily approve of a conference to talk over the game.I think an open game and more passing and kicking will come next year, anyway, but the game ought to oe changed in many ways.I say, et any college so inclined send lelegates.They all have good men, and their ideas are worth considering.I am sure the game will ultimately be changed until it is more like the English.Why not adopt the English game ?It is superior to ours.Then the teams of the two countries could meet.The material here is fully ns good, if not better, than over there, and the players learn new plays, and diitieult ones very easily.I think a team could be formed here to play the English game, which would make à good showing against the English players.\u201d ° AQUATIC.Death of a Famous Oarsman.Amateur oarsmen all over the world will andoubtedly deplore the loss of T.C, Edwards-Moss, who died of typhoid fever in England, December 16, aged 38 years.The deceased leaves a record behind which probably has no parallel in modern aquatic history.As coach of the Oxford crew in recent years he was regarded as invaluable, and his premature death is a blow from which the dark blues may not rally for years to come.The London Field of December 23, summarizes the record of Ed- wards-Moss as follows : His rowing record is a brilliant one, and he is one of the very few who can be considered in the first class.At Eton he Was captain of the boats in 1873 and °74, and both years ho won the Pulling.In 1875 ot in the \u2019Varsi ing No.and Oxford ey sity crew, rowing No, 7 The following year he rowed stroke, the boat being rigged in the reverse to what is usual.The experiment did not answer, however, and Cambridge won.In 1877 he was back at his old place, No.7, when the famous dead heat took place after the Oxford bowman sprung his oar above Barnes\u2019 Bridge, when they had a good lead.In 1878, however, Edwards-Moss Was again successful in winning the University race, still rowing No.7.Besides taking the \u2019Varsity pairs with Ellison in 1878, he won them in 1875 and in 1876 when he was President of the 0.U.B.Cc.and gained the Varsity Sculls in 1877.In > that year he also won the Diamond sculls at Henley.; In 1878 George W.Lec.of America, who immediately afterward became a protes sional, was admitted asa competitor for the Diamond Sculls.Lee had the reputation of being very fast, and in the first heat Edwards-Moss had to meet him.Although the American showed great speed, and heid a decided advantage, the English amateur never gave him a vest, and toward the finish was secn to be creeping up.The excitement was intense, but it hardly seemed possible for the Oxonian to win.Suddenly, however, when within a couple of lengths of the winning post, Lee stopped sculling, utterly unable to take another stroke, and, to the unbounded delight of the spectators, Edwards- Moss won by half a length.Lee subsequently stated that he thought he had reached the end of the course, having misunderstood the marks.Edwards-Moss made one more appearance at Henley after this brilliant victory, and was then successful in winning the G.C.C., rowing at No.7 in the Leander Club eight in 1880.Latterly he has ci ached the Oxford crew ot Putney for the annual race with Cambridge, and no one was more fitted for the post.His place will be very difficult to till next spring.SKATING.The National Skating Races.Rzp BANK, N.J., Jun.2,\u2014The National Skating Association proposes to hold its championship races here on the 25th, inst, and if the Shrewsbury River freezes over before that date much sport may be looked tor at this place.The North Shrewsbury [ee Yacht Club will have charge of the affair, as they made a bid for the race aud the proposition was accepted.The events will be a one-quarter mile, one mile, two wiles, five miles and ten miles, ymeng those who are expected to com: pete are Champion J.S.Johnson, Joe Donoghue, Howard Mosher, Clark

fast time should be made.A colt race is being arranged to take place next week.CURLING.For Charity\u2019s Sake.There was an interesting curling match at the Thistle Rink last night for a barrel of

the Criminal Court of Record this morning, the attorneys for Corbett and Mitchell, appeared, and confidentially expecting that Judge Phillips would decide the case against them, had their clients in the Circuit Court, where arrangements had been made for hearing by Judge Call to-morrow, on a motion that =a writ of habeas corpus be issued an! the men be released, But as soon as the Crinnnai Court opened J.B.Christie, the prosecuting attorney of the Court a~s:andsud that no information against Cor nt: and Mitchell had been tiled with him, cr with the judge or clerk, and he s'w no reason tlerefore, why they shouid not be released and their boudsmen be relieved of any further responsibility.The Judge so ordered and the case was ended then and there.This is a tritnplh tor Governor

York Dec.26, has become one of the notable chess events of the year\u2014not because the players possess any great reputation or phenomenal skill, but because they do represent the rising generation of chess experts in America.They have been selected by rigorous competi- THE INTERCOLLEGIATE CUP.EDWARD HYMES.EDWARD LIBAIRE., tions as the best playersamong many thousands of young Americans at four of our great institutions of learning\u2014Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Coiumbia\u2014and their regular annual tournament cannot fail to awaken great interest in a game that mentally develops every man who studies it faithfully.If there were need of any argument as to the worth of chess, it would only be necessary to give the names of the legions of warriors, tacticians, mathematicians and statesmen who have been its ardent devo tees daring the 2,000 years of its existence.Homer says the game was played at the siege of Troy, when the Grecian chiefs had a great deal of time on taeir hands waiting for a chance to restora beautiful Helen te the throne.Tamerlane, the Tartar conqueror, who marked his path by pyramids of human skulls, was as fond of chess as he was of war.Charles I and King John both continued to play the game wlien af fairs of state even demanded their immedi ate attention.Philip II of Spain, Henry IV of France.Charles V, Pope Leo X, Charles XII oi Sweden, Charlemagne, Napoleon, Richelieu.Marshal Saxe and numerous other notable characters in history found amusement and profitable mental exercize in the royal game, which excels all other games invent ed by man in intricacy, absurbing interesi and infinite variety of combinations.The contestants in the iutercollegiate tournament are the following named: Celumbia\u2014E.Hymes, '95, and E.Libaire, \"94 substitutes, F.H.Bowman, '84, and E.E, Mitchell, \u201897.Harvard\u2014L.B.Schoenfeld, 5, and FT.Spald.ing, \u201895; substitutes, E.Goldmark, \u20189%; W.L Van Kleeck and James Hewins, '%, Princeton\u2014B.R.Ewing, \u201894, and E.P.Roberts, \u201894; substitutes, E.P.Stewart, \u201895: R.L Beecher, \u2018#7, and W.V.Belden, \u2018v5.Yale\u2014R.L.Boss, 96, and A.E.Skinner, '95 substitutes, H.A.Bryant and J.W.Maples.The Challenge cup, valued at 8500 and donated by a few of the alumni of each col lege, was first battled for at Christmas time 1892, and was won by the Columbia repre sentatives, Edward Hymes and Edward Libaire, who were called upon to defend the trophy during the present tournament.In last season\u2019s struggle Hymes won six straight games out of six played.He comes from a family of chess players, and six years ago as the champion of the Labour donnais club he defeated J.H.Todd of the Columbia Chess club and won the cham: pionship of tae college, an honor he has re tained with but little difdculty since.Hymes has played as many as five simul tanecus blindfold games with the best experts in the college, and outside of college circles has defeated Jacobi and played drawn games with such noted experts as Haughton D.Stubbs and J.H.Blackburae.Hymes is also a checker player of decided merit and is champion of New Jersey.His home is in Newark, N.J.Edward Libaire, Columbia's other cup winner, is a New York boy, 21 years of age, He is not an experienced plaver, but he managed to win three out cf six games he contested last year.Of the Yale repre sentatives in tho present tournament A.E, Skinner is a veteran.He played last sea son and won two games.He is an Ottaws (Kan.) boy.R.I Ross, the other Yale man.is a newcomer in chess and resides at New burg, N.Y.Ballou, the Harvard expert.who succeeded in winning the creditable number of five games in the first tourna: ment, is not in the current match.Hap vard\u2019s representatives are both new men.Boyd R.Ewing, the Princetonian whe won 2}4 games in the first match, is again one of the Tigers\u2019 team.Roberts is a new star in the Princeton chess firmament, Ir the tournaments a medal is given to each memper Of the winning team, and also te the contestant winning the largest number ol games, provided he is not a player on the victorious college team.The greatest chess match of the past year was the international contest at St.Peters burg between M.I.Tschigorin, the champion of Russia, and Dr.Siegbert Tarrasch, the German champion.These men stand in the very front rank among the chess experts of the world, and the cabled accounts of their recent struggle were watched with interest by lovers of the game everywhere.After 22 games had been played the cen test was declared a draw.Each man had won nine games and four were drawn.Michael Ivanowitch Tschigorin is 48 years of age.He isa dashing player and a deep analyst.Although he is a very gentleman: ly expert, he gets excited and attracts considerable attention by his gesticulations.He has been beaten twice by World\u2019s Champion William Steinitz, the first time in 1859, \u2018when the acore_séood 1036.Gis, and the / second in 1851, when he-made the much botter showing of 8 games to Steinitz\u2019's 10, with 5 games drawn.Dr.Tarrasch is 31 years of age and a native of Breslau.This place is famous as the cradle of such experts as Zukertort, Anderssen, Harrwitz, Rieman and Schott- lander, and in such an atmosphere it is not remarkable that Tarrasch became a chess player and a good one.His reputation rests mainly upon his victories in three sue- cessive international tournaments\u2014at Bres- lau in 1889, at the British Chess association\u2019s Manchester congress the following year and at the German Chess association\u2019s Dresden congress in 1892.His playing in these three tournaments Was unprecedented in chess history, for he won every game in the Breslau and Manchester tournaments and only lost one game in the contest at Dresden.The proposed match for the championship of the world between William Steinitz and Emanuel Lasker will probably be the next truly great chess contest.Steinitz has held the championship a quarter of a century, defeating one after another such giants as Paulsen, Anderssen, Blackbarne, Zukertort and Tschigorin, and proving himself to be the greatest player the world has ever seen, with the possible exception of Paul Morphy, the wizard of the royal game.Those who have not seen Steinitz, and who have formed their idea of his physical appearance from pictures of his mammoth head, are generally of the impression that he is a large man.He is about 5 feet tall, however, has a small, slender body and walks with the aid of two canes.The coming match with Lasker will probably be the last Steinitz will play, and the question that is agitating chess circles is, Will Steinitz be compelled to say, with John Lawrence Sullivan, \u201cI went into the arena once too often?\u201d Emanuel Lasker, the aspirant for the world\u2019s highest chess honors, is a native of Prussia and is only 25 years old.Consequently Steinitz has been a champion of the world ever since Lasker was born.This view of the proposed combat between these two experts makes one appear an experienced giant and the other a mere stripling.But Lasker has made good use of the 13 years he has been studying chess, and players generally believe he will give a good account of himself, even against such a monarch of the royal game as Steinitz.EARLE H.EATON.Turfman C.YW.Williams\u2019 Troubles.Horsemen generally heard with regret the recent report that C.W, Williams of Independence, Ia., was in financial difficulty, for Williams is one of the most enterprising turfmen in America today.His career up to date has been of a meteoric character, and although the meteor appears to have struck with a dull thud just now it will without doubt soon be blazing across the turf firmament again with all its old time brilliancy.In 1875, when Williams was 18 years old, he was driving a milk wagon in Chicago.Two years later he became a telegrapher.Then he started a creamery in Independence, bought two brood mares and was soon possessed of two colts.WiHiams took C.W.WILLIAMS.one of them in hand, trained it with rare patience, drove it to a 3-year-old record of 2:12, the best mark for the age at that time in the world\u2019s history, and then sold his great horse\u2014the famous Axtell\u2014for the enormous sum of $105,000.Williams had a farm called Rush Park, and he startled the world by building a kite shaped track.which was a decided novelty in track building.The new course proved the fastest in the country, the most famous trotters were sent to it to lower their records, and from a little town Independence grew to be one of the greatest turf cities in America.Williams organized a new bank, started a horse paper, built a botel apd an electric street railroad that cost $150,000, refused Marcus Daly's offer of $125,000 for Allerton, the other colt that in the meanwhile had captured the world\u2019s trotting record for stallions, and for the two meetings of 1801 and 1892 he offered $60,000 and $100,000 respectively, the largest purses ever hungup in the history of harnessracing at those dates.In five years Williams rose from obseur- ity and small possessions to worldwide fame and wealth.He made money rap- idl¥, but he expended it lavishly in building up Indépendence as a horse center, and when Allerton went lame and the big slump in harness horse values occurred his load was too heavy to carry.Williams is still a very young man, and his reverses will doubtless be only temporary.en, À PEAST OF PHOTOS Offered Exclusively to Old and

the Recent Fire ?The Manager of the Montreal Water an: Power Company told The Herald yesterday that the report to the efiect that there was & lack of water during the fire in St.Cune- gonde on New Year's Day was erroneous.e said that the superintendent had informed him that ten streams played on the fire and that the pressure at the hydrants was 95 pounds, whilst at the station it was 125 pounds.If there was any lack of pressure it was at those hydrants where two streams wore attached, and the main was four inches.On the whole, he thought that the water supply was adequate.This has been clearly proved not to have been the case.Competent firemen of the city brigade agree in saying that the usual pressure in St.Cunegonde is from 25 to 30 pounds and when a fire breaks out the power house on the lower Lachine road is called by telephone and orders given for a heavier pressure.This being the arrangement it naturally takes some time to work up a good force of water.It might have been in the case stated that the low pressure.was dae to this, but at any rate the fact was noted, and severely commented on by the members of the city brigade, who worked at the fire.It is a well knowa fact that the water pressure of Ste.Cunegonde and St.Henri is not good, particularly in St.Cuncgonde.This may be due partly to the small mains.t is generally agreed by the firemen that they were harapered in fighting the fire by an insufficient water pressure.MR, BOK LIKES US.An American Editor Who Favors Canadian Writers.Last summer Edward Bok, the editor of The Ladies\u2019 Home Journal, the Philadelphia magazine of marvellous editorial acumen aud circulation, visited Canada, Previous to this visit, Mr.Bok had written much and well of Canadian writers, but his personal visit gave him a new idea of Canada\u2019s literary people and their talents.He became interested in Canadian authors and literary matters, and the first indication of this was the announcement that he had secured Lady Aberdeen to write for his magazine.Then it was given out that the first prize in the Journal\u2019s musical series \u2018offered for the best waltz had beer awarded to Mrs.Frances J.Moore, of Leadon, Ontario.This waltz Mr.Bok has named \u2018\u2018\u2019The Aberdeen Waltzes,\u201d in honer of Lady Aberdeen, and will be printed in its entirety in the February issue.Mr.Henry Sandham, the artist of Canadian tendencies, was next heard of as making a series of covers for the Journal.Then the names of J.Macdonald Oxley and John Lambert Paine became prominent in the magazine\u2019s contents.Now Clifford Smith, of this city, has had his first American story accepted by this magazine.And so it looks very much as if this young American cditor had his eyes turned squarely on Canadian writers, and intended to come closer to his Canadian readers.Mr.Bok\u2019s Canadian visit certainly did good.J.H.Nault for Hochelaga Ward.J.H.Nault, the chemist and druggist of 2449 Notre

corn an increase of 1,083,000 bush\" els, and oats a decrease of 86,000 bushels.The English visible supply shows a decrease of 1,100,000 bushels.According to Meredith and O\u2019Brien\u2019s special Chicago advices, receipts of grain in Chicago to-day were : Wheat, 81 cars, contract, 14 cars; Corn, 512 cars, contract, 74 cars; Oats, 228 cars; contract 97 cars.Hogs 22,000.To-morrow\u2019s estimated receipts are: Wheat, 195 cars; corn, 1,116 cars; oats, 300 cars, and hogs 30,000.Messrs.Miller, Powell and Co.\u2019s Chicago gossip said : « Minneapolis received 554 cars wheat for 3 days, and Duluth $3 cars for one day.The clearances from New York for the week were: Wheat, 561,733 bush.;

covering by shorts, who pressed things so fast as to permit of practically no reaction at all except with the result of exhausting them.\u201d In reviewing the grain situation in London, Messrs.L.Norman and Co., under the date of December 18, writes: ** No fresh features have developed in the grain trade since our last review of the 11th inst.The low priced offers of Russian wheat for spring shipments have attracted a considerable amount of attention, and a fair business has resulted.At the moment, in view of the near approach of the Christmas holidays, buyers are inclined to defer purchas- Ing until the turn of the year, and the market is assuming a holiday tone.Hard Manitohas, steadily held but quiet.During the week a parcel of No.1 hard on passage sold at 26s 9d, c.i.f., London, and to-day 27s, ¢.1.f has been paid for January -February shipments.Hard Duluth stead ', and prices show no change on the week To-day a parcel of No.1 sold at 27s, c.i.f.London.\u2019 \u2019 BARLEY\u2014M alting barley has ruled firmer, in some cases selling at ls per quarter advance.For grinding qualities market is firm and a good trade has passed at an advance of three-half pence to three pence per qr.The closing of some of the Russian ports is already noticeable by the smaller shipments and decrease in the quantity atloat.Pras.\u2014Canadian coutinue quiet and neglected.Sellers January shipment ask ds 9d, but fail to tempt buyers.Hay\u2014Continued heavy imports and open weather here depresses the market and business for shipment remains neglected, buyers turning their attention t, spot stuff, which is selling at an equivalent of £4 173 6d to £5c.i.f.For January, February shipment sellers ask £5 5s 0d c.i.f., with few buyers at £5 2s 6d.apnea Foreign grain markets, according to Beerbohn\u2019s repoat, opened this morning quiet but steady.Cargoes off coast, wheat, and maize, nil.Cargoes on passage and for shipment, wheat and maize, firm.Chilian wheat, off coast, 253 6d;

expect improvement still to be, as it has been, gradual; and hope much from steady calm, and harmonious effort, little from violence or revolution.In his estimation the clearest gain reaped by the world from all the struggles through which it has been going, amidst much that is equivocal or still on trial, will be liberty of opinion.\u201d ; PERFECTION NOT ATTAINABLE.The first essay is a destructive criti cisim of the different schemes preposed for the revolution of society and the re- toration of Eden.The fatal defect of all these schemes is in their presumption that perfection is attainable mn a world where perfection is nowhere exhibited.apparently to lacerate and convulse the social organism is only too possible, to transform it is beyond our power.This does not make it the less our duty and interest to remove every social injustice that can be reinoved and level every unrighteous inequality that is capable of being levelled.It limits effort only by regulating hope.It bids us look for improvement not for regeneration, and prefers gradual reform to violent revolution.The plans passed briefly in review are Communism, Socialism, Nationalisation of land, Strikes, plans for emancipating Labor from the dominion of \u2018Capital, and theories of innovation with regard to Currency and Banks, the most prominent of which is (ireenbackism or the belief in paper money.\u2018Through them all runs the same hope of bettering the condition of the masses without increase of indusiry or of the substantial elements of wealth and without limiting the multiplication of their numbers.Through several there runs a tendency to violence and confiscation, says Mr.Smith, and it may be safely said that all the movements draw their adherents from minds of the same speculative class and that industrial revolution is not like industrial reform often recruited from the ranks of steady and prosperous industry.Steady industry aided by the ever growing powers of practical science is rapidly accumulating wealth.Thrift and increased facilities for saving and for the employment of small capitals will promote the equality of distribution.Let governments see that labor is allowed to enjoy its full earnings untaxed by war, waste, or protective tariffs.The best of all taxes it has been truly said is the least.With equal truth it may be said that the best of all governments is that which has least occasion to govern.Smith adds to this essay an interesting criticism of such utopias as ** The Coming Race,\u201d \u2018\u2018 News from Nowhere,\u201d \u2018 Caesar\u2019s Column,\u201d and \u201c\u2018 Looking Backward.\u201d CHURCH DISESTABLISHMENT.Having pointed out that there 1s à current almost throughout the civilized world setting towards church disestablishment, Mr.Smith sketches the origin and history of establishment.He makes a comparison between a free church such as we have in America and a state church such as that of England and finds that in almost every respect the free church is superior to that endowed by the state.The essay is a powerful plea for disestablishment.DOES NOT BELIEVE IN FRAGE.In the essay upon \u2018\u2018the political crisis in England\u201d Mr.Smith gives a gloomy picture of the results of party government and the elective system.He isa strong believer in educational and property qualification for electors and marvels to see a society, intellectual, refined, luxurious even to excess and ever inventing new refinements and new luxuries yet all the time sedulously removing the barriers which protect it from a political deluge.As an example of the evils of party government under such conditions he points to the course of Mr.Gladstone in the Irish question.As it is in national, so it is in municipal affairs.Here also for large constituencies the elective system seems to break down.THE IMPERIAL POLICY CRITICIZED.Under the heading \u2018The Empire,\u2019 Mr.Smith discusses the advantages and disadvantages of its dependencies.In approaching the question of empire from a rational point of view and essaying to test the value of its several elements we are met at once by the cry of \u2018\u2018 prestige.\u201d Give up anything, we are told, and you ruin the prestige of that empire on which the sun never sets.What is prestige ?Etymologically, a conjuring trick.Actually, a sham force.Spanish historians begin the reign of Philip II.with the resounding roll of the kingdoms, provinces, colonies and fortresses of which he was the lord in all parts of the globe.We know now what relation all those possessions and titles bore to real strength and to the sources of a genuine prosperity.How does the refusal to examine rationally the Imperial policy of Great Britain on the ground that you detract from her prestige differ from the blind pride that went before the fall of Spain?The policy of real strength must be the patriotic policy ; the policy of real weakness however colossal, must he that which «true patriot would discard.Looking at ¢* The Einpire \u201d in this light UNIVERSAL SUF- Mr.ee Mr.Smith runs over its different parts.The British Empire in India is an Empire in the true sense of the word and the noblest the world has seen.About keeping India there is no question.England has a real duty there, she has undertaken a great work and stands pledged before the world to perform it.Of what use are colonial dependencies now to the Imperial country ?Fiscally the colonies have gone out of the Empire.They are not sources of military strength.Emigration returns which show 152,000 to the United States against 27,000 to the North American colonies are a conclusive answer to any allegation that the colonial dependencies are necessary as new homes.There is an especial danger in the retention of Canada both to the Imperial country and to the colony, the Dominion presenting itself asa political outpost of monarchical and aristocratic England on the territory of American democracy.Thus are bred disputes of onc of which arbri- tration may fail to dispose.This question of the relation of the colonies cannot be set aside as unpractical.Tt may at any moment present itself in the most practical form ; for a maritime war would at once reveal the inability of England to protect her distant dependencies and the inability of the dependi- ces to defend their own trade.Lord Blatchford declared that the Confederation of Canada was a step towards disintegration of the Kmpire, the opinion of Sir G.Cornewall Lewis is easy to read.Even Lord Beaconstield told Lord Mal- mesbury in confidence that the colonies would be independent in a few years, nor did he shrink from saying that they were a millstone round the neck of England, in the meantime if the question must come why not face it?Because British governments are ephemeral and in the perpetual faction tight have enough to do today without thinking of to-morrow.probably therefore the end will come in the form of a crash or shock of some kind.But discussion will at least teach statesmanship to interpret the event and deal wisely when it does come.WOMAN SUFFRAGE.Inthe essay on \u201cWoman Suffrage\u201d Mr.Smith replies to the argumentsof John Stuart Mill, in *\u201cThe Subjection of Woman,\u201d a work which was the mauifesto and has remained the manual of the movement.In company with John Bright, he signed Mills - first petition in favor of suffrage for unmarried women.Both of them were a good deal influenced by their respect and regard for Mill.Both of them afterwards changed their minds and Bright spoke strongly against the measure.Mr.Sinith found that the women of his acquaintance for whom he had most respect and who seemed to him the best representatives of their sex were opposed to the change, fearing that the position and privileges of women in general would be sacrificed to the ambition of a few.He also devotes a good deal of attention to the report of Mr.Blair's committee of the Senate of the United States.\u2018\u2018 Enfranchise women\u201d says Mr.Blair's report \u2018\u2018 or this Republic will steadily advance to the same destruction, the same ignoble and tragic catastrophe which has engulfed the male republic of history.\u201d This, Mr.Smith retorts, seems to imply a new reading of history according to which republics have owed their fall to their masculine character and he proceeds to show that it is historically untrue.The existing commonwealths are not free from peril ; but their peril apparently lies in the passions, in the giddiness, the anarchical tendencies of the multitude and would hardly be averted by opening another floodgate and letting in all at once the full tide of feminine emotion.At the presen! unction in Europe such an innovation would be specially perilous.The tendency to the personal ascendancy of great demagogues which has shown itself as a result of the enfranchisement of masses ignorant of political principles and questions could not fail to be aggravated by the enfran- chisment of all the women, the inclination of the sex being to personal rather than constitutional government.In France with woman suffrage, the Republic could hardly live.THE ANTI-JEWISH MOVEMENT.Jewish ascendancy and the anti-Sem- itic movement provoked by it form the subject of another essay.Mr.Smith concludes that such a relation as that in which Judaism has placed itself to the people of each country, forming everywhere a uation within a nation, cherishing the pride of a Chosen People, regarding those among whom it dwelt as Gentiles and unclean, shrinking from social intercourse with them engrossing their wealth by financial skill but not adding to it by labers, plying at the same time a trade which, however legitimate, is always unpopular and makes many victims could not possibly fail to lead as it has led to mutual hatred and the troubles which ensuc.One of the calamities in history has been the dispersion of \u2018the Jews.That the Jew should be de-rabbinised and | de-nationalised, in other words that he should renounce the Talmud, the tribal facts of the Mosaic law and circumcision is the remedy preposed by M.Leroy- Beaulieu, a writer by no means unfavorable to Isracl.There seems to be no other way of putting an end to a conflict which is gradually enveloping all nations.The present relation is untenable.The Jew will have either to return to Jerusalem, or to forget it, give his heart to the land of his birth and mingle with humanity.THE IRISH QUESTION In another essay Mr.Smith reiterates his well known opinions on the Irish question and concludes : \u201cThe Home Rule bill was carried through the House of Commons by the help of twenty-two Irish votes, to which by the adtnission of the author of the bill itself, Ireland had no title.It is now to be palmed upon the country, which is known to be adverse to it by uniting with it a number of incendiary proposals and carrying the whole lump by means of appeals to class passions, local antipathies and the lure of socialistic confiscation.Civil war is a dreadful thing but there are things even more dreadful than civil war.Submission to the dismemberment of à nation by the sinister machinations of a morally insane ambition would in the end work more havoc than the civil sword.\u201cTam prepared\u201d said the constitutional and cautious Peel \u2018\u2018to make the declaration which was much, and nobiy done, by my predecessor, Lord Althorp, that deprecating, as I do, all war, but, above all, civil war, yet there is no alternative which I do not think preferable to the dismemberment of this Empire.\u201d So that dread arbitrameunt, however, the Irish question has not yet come.The first object of ail British citizens ought to be to insist that this bill which is not an ordinary law at all, but a fundamental change of the national constitution, should be fairly submitted as a single issue to the constituencies of the United Kingdom.HIS VIEWS ON PROHIBITION, For the benefit of his English readers \u2018and St.Antoine Streets.Mr.Smith gives a history of prohibition in Canada and the United States and suggests that the British Parliament before committing itself to prohibition legislation should send a commission of Inquiry to these countries.Prohibition- ism, he says, has become a marketable commodity among politicians and furnishes the ladder by which knavery climbs to the mark of its ambition.It is now perhaps after Irish clanship, the most noxious of the sectional organizations, the number of which is always on the increase and which are destroying the character of the citizen and rendering elective government impossible by treating the state as an oyster to be opened with the knife of their vote for their own particular end.The work is published by MacMillan $ Co.: and can be had at Drysdale & 0°s.FOR CLEAN GOVERNMENT.The Volunteer Electoral League Evidently Means Business.The Volunteer Electoral League have made the following ward organizations :\u2014 St.Ann's Ward \u2014 Chairman, Andrew Finn;

Principal Grant first referred to the unique character of the Congress of Religions, held at Chicago, and that universal expositions were the children of our age.\"here had been local and national exhibitions during the 18th century, in England, but the mind of man had not got beyond that.The general idea there was that one country could only prosper by another\u2019s retrogression, and it was not until the revolution of thought in Great Britain 50 years ago, just before the adoption of free trade, that people thoreughly discovered prosperity in trading with one another.The first great universal exposition was that of 1851 in.London, at the Crystal Pal ace, presidel over by the late Prince Consort.He also alluded to the fact that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.From nearly all the great nations of Europe followed Britain\u2019s example.Philadelphia followed next with the Centennial.Then it was that nations began to see that co-operation, instead of comparison and competition, and not controversy; progress and not stagnation, mutuality and service, instead of hatred and contest were for their common interest.History for the past 40 years proved the wonderful influence of commerce, and coupled with commerce, these world\u2019s expositions had worked hand in hand to lead to the great climax at Chicago, and also to the development of the higher dignity of man, a fuller life, and that anything in that fullness was for man\u2019s improvement.These exhibitions were a practical conviction}of the oneness and unity of the race, truth, God and man.In old days men believed too much in the distine- tion of secular and sacred\u2014the separation of God and man.The speaker went elaborately into the basis and results of these unusual expositions and then said the greatest effort of all was in Chicago.Chicagoans said they would beat the wprld or burst; and they said much that applied to religion.the same .as it did to science, to art, to electricity, to anything.So they resolved to call a Parliament of Religions, to prove foral.time that Christians were not ashamed to have a congress on social, scientific, ethical, philanthrophic, political or religious subjects.The highest conception of the age was the Congress of Religions.The invitations sent out by the World\u2019s Fair to this parliaïnent were more cordially received in the old world than in the new, because we were much more secluded than the oid world.The Archbishop of Canterbury hesitated because he feared the Congress would perhaps indicate they liad no absolute religion.The leaders of the religious world were most enthusiastic, as were also Mr.Gladstone, Henry Drummond, Max -Muller, and Lord Tenuyson previous to his death, all of whom had expressed regret at not being able to attend._ Speaking personally, Principal Grant said his greatest difficulty at the congress was how to.get non-Christians to come together with Christians; how to reach the Brahmin, the Confucian and the Mahom- medan.He confessed that when he saw the gathering at Chicago he under-estimated Western energy, for they had agreed to test the religions by the universal canon of eriticism.He described beautifully the sight of the variety of dresses seenat the congress, how black-coated pcople were nowhere and were outshone by the Orientals.He mentioned especially the Greek Archbishop\u2019s robes that were so heavy as to stand.alone, his richly chased crosses, ornaments, tc.The High Priest of Shintoism and other Hindoo representatives were beautifully dressed.When he (the speaker) was asked to proceed to the Hall of Columbus, he was accompanied by a West India representative, who said he had come to give color to the proceedings.The audience was singularly cosmopolitan at the congress.Every day the gathering opened with prayer and praise, and the most materialistic mind could not help but see that man was a spiritual being.Germany was the poorest represented couniry at the congress.The China- man was the only representative: who of all the host did not speak in English.In no other age could such a congress conducted in the English language.Slavery had been abolished throughout Christendom; oceans had been found to unite instead of separate nations and so the Congress of Religions was possible.Chicago was the right place because it was the purest type of a modern city.The Rev.Principal Grant proceeded to say that the parliament proved that religion was higher than dogma, nature or ecclesias- ticisn\u2014that love to God and man is the climax.It proved, too, that Protestants have done very little towards Christianizing organized Oriental religion, especially Confucianism, Brahminism and Mahommedan- ism, Christianity would be embodied in the religious history of the whole world, just as the biological history of the world is embodied in man: The great weakness of the Church was its sectarianism and the imperfect civilization of Christianity.AN URGAINLY TIMEPIECE.A Three Pound Watch That Was Made For a Savage Monarch.A ponderous watch of antique pattern displayed in the window of À.W.Stott\u2019s jewalry establishment on Montgomery street attracts the attention of the curious.The timepiece is 4 inches in diameter and weighs nearly three pounds.Its case looks like old gold, but is a composition of base metal.The chain attached to this watch is proportionately ponderous and bears a seal ring large enough for the finger of a giant.The watch was made by John Bittlesor of London two centuries ago.It was, no doubt, a marvel of workmanship in those days and is still a timekeeper.It probably cost about £100, or $500 in our money.The hands upon its ample dial mark seconds and fifths of seconds as well as hours and minutes, The dial also shows the phases of the moon.This remarkable relic is not for sale.It is owned by a gentleman of this city, who has a collection of such curiosities.The old watch has a history of some interest.About 200 years ago an English sea captain obtained from the king of a tribe of savages in the South seas some valuable tradiug privileges.The king showed him many favors, and one day the captain asked the insular monarch to say what most he would like to have sent to him from London.It pleased his royal highness to intimate that a big watch would suit him well.Accordingly a watch was made to order on a scale befitting the royal personage.And great was his pride therein.Having no pocket, he appointed a youth watch bearer extraordinary to the sovereign.Wherever the king went the watch bearer followed, carrying the precious royal timepiece in his hands.When the king died, his sons succeeded to the ownership of the watch.They sold it to the captain of an American ship, and he disposed of it in Philadelphia.Some time ago it fell into the hands of its present owner, who prizes Tt highly.This is no doubt one of the oldest repeating watches in existence.Its ring is very musical.\u2014 San Francisco Chronicle.Suits and overcoats reduced 20 per cent.for cash, at M.J.Adier\u2019s Tailoring Estab- Headquarters, | lishment, 47 Beaver Hall Hill.All the latest patterns to choose from.MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1894.Wilson Bill Would injure Europe.(From The N.Y.Times.) Hunting high and low for arguments to be used against tariff reform, some of our high-tariff contemporaries profess to have discovered that Europe will suffer by the passage of the Wilson Bill.The Clevelana Leader, an industrious follower of Me.Kinley, and the foremost advocate © McKinley's tariff in his own State, is now very much disturbed by the conviction that the bill will exert a depressing influence upon the old world.\u201c\u2018 It seems inevitable,\u201d says The Leader, \u201cthat the Dent.ocratic scheme of \u2018tariff reduction Wi A 33 force down wages in the mills of Europe, | and our contemporary 1s deeply move by the coming depression of European industriés.This is a new departure for the high-tarilf press.Heretofore we have been told by the -advocates of the Me- Kinley plan that all Democratic projects of tariff revision are designed to benefit Kng- land and Coninental Europe at the expense of American industries.Barrels of printer's ink have been consumed in teaching the doctrine that cvery Democratic tariff bill is in fact and of necessity framed to enrich foreigners and to serve the interests of foreign industries, to the injury and even the destruction of our own.Perhaps The Leader could procure some petitions fram Europe to be used at Washington for the preservation of the McKinley tariff.Mr.Robert W.Denvir An Exempt Fireman of Jackson Engine Co., ong Isiand City, N.Y., says that at Christmas, 1890, he could only take a smell of dinner, as 16 was in a fearful condition from Dyspepsia.The next summer he went to Europe for lis icalth, but came home uncured.In the fall he iesided upon a thorough trial of 3 5 ch Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla ind by Christmas had a hearty appetite, ealthy digestion, and was perfectly weil.His are was due wholly to Hood's Sarsaparilla,.\u2018Hoob*s PiLLs cure llver ills, constipation liousness, jaundice, and sick headache.Try them MISCELLANEOUS.PERSON AL-To snowshoers, faney moccasins made of moose skin, by Cree Indians, beauti- 1ully beaded.all sizes;
