Tactics.\u2014\u2014e OFFER TO MAKE A BARGAIN, Montreal Bill Again Under Discussion The Government Disobeys Order of the House.the (Special to the Herald).Quebec, Jan.4.The House this morning took up Mr.Btephens\u2019 bill to suppress corruption in civic matters as amended by the Legislative Council.Mr.Chicoyne moved that the third clause be further amended so as to remove the disqualification to sit in a municipal council from shareholders in companies having contracts with the municipalities, rovided that the paid-up capital be not Fes than $50,000, and the number of shareholders hot less than thirty in Montreal and Quebec, and the paid-up capital in other municipalities less than $3,000.Mr.Parizeau took objection to this clause.He thought that the minimum of paid up capital was too high.Mr.Kennedy said that he was not afraid of anything in the bill as alderman and he would vote for it.After some further discussion consideration of the bill was adjourned until the afternoon, to permit the drafting of a suitable amendment.THE AUGE BILL, AMENDED.Quebec, Jan.4.\u2014The Committee on Legislation has reported in favor of amending the Auge lien law in accordance with the suggestions of Mr.Gustave Lamothe.Under these amendments the workingmen would have a privilege only on the contract price or on the increased value of the property.\u2018To avail himself of this last privilege,\u201d says Mr.Auge, \u2018\u2018the workingman would be obliged before going to work to get experts to view the prcperty to establish its value, as if at that moment he did not expect to get paid.\u201d This procedure would be so expensive that it is entirely unpracticable, and it is equivalent to killing the existing law.I will oppose the consideration of these amendments in the House with all the strength I have left.\u201d When the House met again in the afternoon, Mr.Stephens offered to amend his bill on civic corruption, so as to exempt shareholders in stock companies from the disabilities put on those holding contracts with a municipality.Hisamended bill was approved.It has to go once more to the Legislative Council.\u2018I'he Valliere furniture scandal was buried this afternoon by the House approving the contract which the Government has ade with Mr.Valliere on the basis of the arrangement made by the Mercier Admiuis- tration.This does away with another Conservative war horse.At the time of the last campaign Conservatives made a great deal of capital out of the fact that Mr.P.Valliere had been entrusted with the work of manufacturing the furniture for the Montreal Court House, for which he was to be paid current market prices.Under the de Boucherville Administration it was contended that the letter of Mr Garneau, ex-Commissioner of Public Works, did not constitute a contract, and the rights of Mr.Valliere to furnish any furniture were entirely denied.After the departure of Mr.de Boucher: ville the Government made some conessions and the upset of it was a contract, which reads as follows: \u2014\u20181, Her Majesty undertakes to take from the establishment of the said Philippe Valliere, all necessary furniture, which shail be required by the Government for the Court Houses of Montreal, Hull and Pontiac.2.The value of such furniture shall be determined by arbitrators, with the exception of the articles whose price isalready specified on the lists supplied by the Department of Public Works, and a copy whereof is hereunto annexed after having been signed, and initialed by the parties, and the undersigned notary.3.The articles shall be first taken from amongst those at present made, and afterwards the said Phillipe Valliere undertakes to complete those alrcady commenced, and to make others according to instructions he shall from time to time receive from the Department of Pnblic Works.4.As to the furniture supplied, the price whereof is already specified on the lists, it is especially stipulated that they cannot be refused because of their being too expensive, but that the Government shall not be obliged to accept them unless they are worth the prices indicated on the said list, according to the award of arbitrators.Just before 6 o\u2019clock the Hon.Mr: Beare bien called up his bill concerning the Mout- real Exposition Company.It was allowed to pass after a few objections from Messrs, Stephens and Panneton.The Legislative Council has again refused to approve Mr.Auge\u2019s bill concerning the incorporation of Trades\u2019 Unions and Benevolent Societies.THE EVENING SESSION.Quebec, Jan.4\u2014(Special).\u2014The consideration of the Montreal Bill in the House this evening began in a rather dramatic manner.Ald.Hurteau arrived here this afternoon at the same time as Ald.Smith.Hon.Mr.Quimet also made his appearance in the corridors.Others, such as Mr.Mc- Cord, Gus.Lamothe, R.C.Smith and Dr.Rodier have been here permanently.Lobbying went on all afternoon.Suggestions of compromise were constantly made, but no two men could be found to accept them.One form of canvassing has been to distribute all sorts of anonymous circulars to the members, Those who spoke at first of presenting & motion to prevent Mr.Stephens from voting on \u2018the Montreal Bill found it more convenient to change their plan and to resort to these circulars tofattack the memberifor Huntingdon.One of these sheets stated that Mr.Stephens had saved himself 815,000 by the legislation of last year on expropriations.It was to protest against this system of influencing the Legislature that the member for Hunt.ingdon raised a question of privilege as soon as the Speaker took the chair.Mr.Stephens said that during all his long career he did not know of a more cowardly attempt to influence his fellow members against him than had been resorted to in the present instance.Ie was a tax-payer of Montreal, and his interests were identical with those of all other tax-payers of the city.He challenged the author of the circular to prove that he had saved himself oue half of the amount stated by them, and would satisfy any fair minded man that he had only assisted in abolishing & most unfair plan of assessment.The member for Huntingdon then turned his attention to his accusers.He said: The other day a young man who has been left millions, who is wealthy enough to support his share of taxation, came to my reom.I believe he was under the influence of liquor, for no sine man would talk as he did.He intimated that he would make a bargain with ne, and I haveno doubt that if I bad let him go-on he would have proposed to pay the sum of $2,400 for which I am assessed if I would betray the interests of the other proprietors who were affected by theold system.I shut him up.If he had been bold enough to offer me money I would have brought him up to the bar of the House, The man who attempts to bribe a member of Parliament should be stamped as a depraved nature.Iam ready to res- pectthe differences of opinion which honestly exist, but, Mr.Speaker, I will not allow insinuations to go unchallenged.You speak of interests.What interests has Dr.Rodier to he here but to throw on gsomebody\u2019s else 812,500 or $14,000 of taxes, which he should justly pay.What interest has Ald.Prefontaine, but to sell his house on the corner of St.Lambert Street, to the city.If that house was not there we would never have heard of THE OPENING OF ST.LAMDBERT STREET, nor of Thomas Gauthier, his partner, who took the action against the city.At this point Mr.Auge called the hon, member to order, as he was going out of the question of privilege.The House was anxious to hear more, and cries of \u201cGo on\u201d were heard on all sides.The Speaker expressed the hope that the hon.member would restrict himself to the question of privilege.Resuming, Mr.Stephens said that the distribution of circulars was too contemptible a thing to leserve any further notice from him personally, but the dignity of the House should be protected.Whenever he was interested in any legislation he did not conceal it.But because he bore one of the largest shares of the cost of civic government it did not appear to him that he should be silent in the matter.He concluded by saying: \u201cI hope it is the last time any one will approach me.\u201d Mr.Kennedy said: \u2018\u201cTo my knowledeg there has Leen here for some time a man, the same to whom the member for Hunt ingdon referred, who has been going around with a paper at the bottom of which he has the name of P.Kennedy, and this paper is in favor of the broad circuit for Inspector Street, I wish to give this paper a bread denial.It is a forgery.Anyone who stoops so low as to resort to such tricks will do anything.That man was left wealthy by his father, who was a decent man and who never reared a son to take such means.\u201d Hon, Mr.Taillon said that he had not read the circular directed against Mr.Stephens.It would have been to accord it too much honor, but he had read another one directed against the House itself and if he knew the author of it he would have him brought up to the bar.Hon.Mr, Marchand said that such literature should not be distributea on the Members\u2019 desks for dignity\u2019s sake.The Committee of the House should have the right of supervising such distribution.After a speech from Hon.Mr.Hall the House went into Committee at 10.45 o'clock.There was a limit of time of one hour for the consideration of the bill.Mr.Cook began to speak ostensibly on the first clause of the bill, giving aldermen a salary, but really against time.Before the hour expired, Hen.Mr.Nantel, Hon.Mr.Pelletier, and others, began to protest against the obstruction, The Speaker havingiresumed the chair, Mr.Auge moved the rules of the House be suspended and that the COMMITTEE BE ALLOWED TO SIT AGAIN, to dispose of the bill.\u201cLet us sit all night,\u201d said Hon.Mr.Nantel.Mr.Stephens protested against thg motion and asked that the bill be left over until to-morrow.Mr.Fitzpatrick said that the motion would create a dangerous precedent, and that it would tend to stifle free discussion.Mr.Auge said that the object was to prevent obstruction and to enable them to pass the bill in proper time.Finally it was decided to leave the bill over until to-morrow tnorning when all the time necessary will be given to it.Dr.Rodier denies ever having been in Mr.Stephens\u2019 room and ever offering him a bargain of any kind.As to the charges of Mr.Kennedy, he says that the paper referred to is a copy of the report of the Roads Commiitee recommending the widening of Inspector Street.Your correspondent was shown the copy of the report of the Roads Committee, certified by Mr.Bourque of the lixpropriation office, which bears Mr.Kennedy\u2019s name.Mr.Kennedy came into the room while the document was being exhibited and again said that he had never signed such a report.About an hour later Mr.Kennedy admitted that he might have signed the report of the Roads Committee, but that in doing so he made a mistake.After the Montreal bill had been laid over Mr.Fitzpatrick moved \u2018\u2018That the prices of the articles of furniture purchased from Valliere should be fixed by the schedule in which is the list of the said articles, and that estimate of quantity of furniture required be annexed to the contract.\u201d After a short debate the vote was taken and the resolution defeated by 41 to 19.Mr.Bourbonnais voted with the Government.The English Conservatives who bolted on the loan, with the exception of Mr.Kennedy, were again all absent when the vote was taken.* \u2018The House adjourned at 12.40.THE GOVERNMENT DISOBEYS THE HOUSE, The Government has a peculiar way of treating the orders of the House, At the time of the debate on the loan on motion of Hou.Mr.Marchand an order was 1ssued to produce the correspondence between a certain high personage and the Parisian banker Hon Mr.Taillon has not yet givena written answer to the order.Hon.Mr.Marchand again called the attention of the House to this matter and Hon, Mr.Taillon would reply nothing more than that he would take note of the remark.On the other hand, on a motion of Mr.Bourbonnais, the House issued an order for all the correspondence relating to the Farmers\u2019 Club in Soulanges County.When it was produced by Hon.Mr.Beaubien it was found that at least one letter was missing.Mr.Bourbonnais had a copy of the letter, which is as follows; \u201cSt, Clet, April 17, 1893.\u201cDear Sir, \u2014 \u201cWe are rather slow to form our Farmers\u2019 Club.It has been quite difficult to per- (Continued on Page 5.) TORGHTO'S SCANDAL.EXPLANATIONS GIVEN BY DE FENDANTS IN THE BOODLE CASE.MALONEY SAYS HIS TRANSACTIONS HAVE BEEN SQUARE, The Crown Atiorney Knows Where the Absentees are Staying, Toronto, Jan, 4.\u2014Ex-Ald.John E.Ver.ral and ex-Ald.John Maloney, who were arrested last night us a result of Judge Mae- Dougall\u2019s report on the boodle investigation were arraigned in the Police Court to-day, and through their counsels, Hon.Mr.Biggs, and Mr.F.E.Hodgins, pleaded not guilty\u201d.The Crown was not ready to go on, and both defendants were remanded for a week, their bouds being renewed.In the case of Ex-Ald.W.I.Stewart, the Crown was also not prepared to proceed on account of Mr.Wright being absent from the city.The defendant was again remanded until Wednesday next, the haii being renewed.Mr.Verral asserts that he has been the victim of a great injustice.He said to-day: \u201cMy arrest was caused by the contractor Guelich, who worked for months in Toronto and spent large sums in vainly trying to secure a contract.He tailed, and when he came to the city to testify he felt sore enough to make a vietim of some one.He picked me out.With reference to the letters Mr.Harry Piper showed me, I can only say that Piper deliberately perjured himself and this was clearly shown by the evidence of those not specially interested.My vindication will come from the Courts.\u201d Ex-Ald.Maloney said: \u201cAt the investigation you will remember that as soon as called upon I produced my books and showed that the money I received fron: Fred, Coleman I had entered in the usual business way.My business runs up as high as £100,000, and it was too much to expect that I could carry every item in my mind.But my books are here, and I rely on them to showithat all my transactions have been square.\u201d Inspector Stark said to-day that the detectives have carried out all the instructions and attended to all the warrants given them by the Crown Attorney.Crown A@- torcey Curry said that all the warrants that had been issued had been attended to by the police, and no other arrests need be expected immediately.He added: \u201cAld.Bailey is out of the city.I understand that W.M.Hall is in Denver, and that Ex-Ald.Hewitt it in New York.THE PAPAL ENCYCLICAL.Jurisdiction of Myr, Satolli Confirmed and Enlarged.Rome, Jan.4.\u2014The expected encyclical from Pope Leo addressed tothe Archuishops and Bishops of the United Statesis now ready and will be transmitted through the usual channels in a few days.It treats principally with the authority and powers of the Apostolic Delegate, Mgr.Satolli, who is confirmed and strengthened in his position.The letter is certain to cause a profound sensation in ecclesiastleal circles in the United States, In the present important encyclical Pope Leo confirms the friendly disposition previously manifested toward a republican form of government, demonstrating anew that the Church is free to accept and show sympathy with popular institutions not iuherently hostile to Christian principles, In detail the encyclical enlarges to the fullest extent the power and jurisdiction of the Apostolic Delegate, thus conferring on Mgr.Satolli almost plenary authority.All matters of internal and local controversy affecting the Church in the United States shall no longer be under the jurisdiction of the courts of the propaganda, but will be heard and disposed of in the delegnte\u2019s tribunal, which becomes, in fact, an American Ecclesiastical Court.SIR JON CARLING ILL, Ottawa, Jan.4 \u2014Sir John Carling, M.P., is suffering from an attack of influenza.\u201cCriticism, Professional art critics are by no means the only people whose opinions of pictures are worth hearing, as many an artist has found out.Michael Herlihy bad his little shop insured in a popularcompany and the agent presented him with a highly colored lithograph representing the burning of a block of buildings.Mi, Herliby surveyed the picture for some moments, muttering to himself the while.At last he turned a dissatisfied face upon the agent.\u201cIt\u2019s moighty purty,\u201d le said, \u201cbut it\u2019s mesilf doesu\u2019t call it

from any Frenchman's imagination.Its material sigus are blood sausage, trufiled turkey and pate de foie gras.Its moral sign is a temporary thawing of the ice of religious neglect, even when the fete is held by wild young men in restaurants.In the early Christmas morning when the dawn is not yet creeping up you will be roused, and roused again by the rattle of carriage wheels and snatches of Christmas song at the hour when Paris is usually the quietest.No matter who the singer is, the song o! Christmas day is there.How He Got Blind, Tramp\u2014DPlease help the blind.Passerby\u2014How did you become blind?Tramp\u2014Looking for work, sir.Central Labor Union.ANTI-TOXINE FOR THE INDIANS

Minister of Agriculture, was seen by a reporter in reference to the Belgian scheduling of Canadian cattle.He was confident that there had been a mistake.He thought there would be no difficulty in proving that the animals complained of supposed to have beenshipped by Mr.Roy, of Quebec, on the Hispania were free from disease.= Sir Charles Tupper, he said, had ordered the lungs of cattle complained of to be itumediately forwarded to the French expert, Sacard, at Paris, who was now making a report.Until that report was made they were in the dark.SOUTH AMERICAN WAR BREWING.London,

Second Vice-Pre- sident\u2014John Torrance Nomis nated for First Vice-President, For President, James A.Cantlie; Ist Vice-President, John Torrance; 2nd Vice- President, John McKergow.OARD of Trade Politics arc daily assum ing more tangible shape.The first nominations were made yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock.James A.Cautlie wasnominated by James P.Cleghorn for the presidency: John Torrance was no- : : minated by R.Reford for the first Vice Presidency, and John Me- Kergow was nominated by Alfred J.Brice for the Second Vice-Presidency.Mr.McKergow has decided to decline the requests of his many friends to accept a nomination for the presidency, It has for many years been the unwritten rule for members of the Council to work their way up to the presidential chair, and the general feeling was that a Lreachi of this arrangement would in a measure be an injustice to others.Mr.McKecrgow as a nominee for the 2nd vice-presidency will undoubtedly meet with the entire support of the Board, and will probably be elected to that position by acclamation.Mr.Cantlie\u2019s \u201celection for president is practically assured.He is certainly deserving of the high distinction which his friends wish to place upon him, and he has earned it.At the death of Mr.Munderloh Mr.Cantlie, who was then in the Council, was elected to fill his position a8 2nd vice-president, and was subse- JAMES a.CANTLIM, qaeotly re-elected at the last annual elections.A prominent member of the Board said to-dav, \u201cMr.Cautlie has proved a most efficient member of the Couucil, and I am sure that the Board of Trade members, as a whole, will heartily approve of his nomination.I think the letter in the Herald this morning struck the right note.\u201d Mr.John Torrance as first vice-president isa most popular choice, and like Mr.McKergow his election will probably be by acclamation.Members of the Board have been so eager in discussing the situation and possibilities in connection with the presidencies, that the question of nominating representatives for the Council has heen almost completely neglected.However, now that the ice has been broken with three nominations, others are sure to follow in the immediate future.The Board of Trade Presidency.To the Editor of the Herald: Sir\u2014 Apropos of the election of President of the Board of \u2018Trade, a great deal too much use is Leing made of the argument that the Vice-President should always have first claim to the highest office.It can Le easily couceived that the practical application of such a precedent might be productive of a very awkward dilemma.I doubt if it is practised by any important political or commercial body in the world.The Board of Trale was organized for the premotion of business interests, and business interests more than individual merit should be considered in filling its chair.It cannot be expected that the various lines of trade that are building up com: mercial Montreal will ever come to re gard the Board of Trade as their loved and familiar home unless in something like fair rotation, a fit representative of each receives the honor of filling its highest office.Mr.Cantlie, whosc name is prominently mentioned as an aspirant to the presidency, has weighty claims to what honors the Board of Trade has to bestow.But the present is certainly not the fair turn of a dry goods representative, und Mr.Cantlie would fittingly crown his many services to the Board, and would put his claims to 1ts chair beyond criticism when the turn of the dry goods interest came round again, if he were to retire now in favor of the nominee of a branchof trade that has never, or has not for years, had a representative in the office of President.A MEMBER.Montreal, Jan.4.BREVITIES, Louis Ship, clothing

revised municipal voters lists will be heard.\u2018The members of the Board of Revisors, which was formerly composed ot aldermen, elected by their confreres, are now appointed by the Superior Court.This year they are ex- Alderman Wilson, E.L.de Bellefenille and R.St.Onge.A demand of assignment has been served upon Alfred Benn, real estate agent, Cote St.Antoine, at the instance of Amedee Gagnon, AN UNUSUAL HONOR Conferred on Dr, Laviolette by the Superior School of Pharmacy.of Paris.Oue of the greatest honors conferred on a CanadianZphysician is{that accorded to Dr.J.G.Lavijolette, of this city, by the Superior School of Pharmacy, of Paris, in admitting and approving after careful analysis, the Syrup of Turpentine, so well known to Canadians.No better evidence of the value of this preparation could be given, as it is acknowledged that it is more difficult to place u patent medicine in the French market than any other in the world, by reason of the rigid examination which such preparations must undergo before permission is granted to sell.This rule applies to domestic as well as foreign preparations, Dr.Laviolette was recently notified of the decision of the Superior School of Pharmacy by the Freach Minister of Commerc», and hug since established a branch in Paris.This is the first instance where a Canadian preparation has thus been endorsed.It is used now in the French hospitals, Dr.La- violette is also introducing the Syrup of Turpentine in the United States, where 1t is meeting with immediate success, \u201cSAY AU REVOIR But Not Good Bye,\u201d Say the C, P.RB, Men.There was considerable consternation in the general offices of the Canadian Pacific at the Windsor Street Depot, when it became known among the clerks that about fifty employes from the various departments in the building had been discharged.Some of the oldest and some who were considered most capable were notified that their services would not be required after to-day.The cause of this all-around dismissal is understood to be the slackness of freight and passenger business generally.If the times brighten up an extra staff may be required by March and the men dismissed may then be taken on again.The reason that the remaining clerks are anxious is that itfis not definitely known whether there will be a further reduction in the staff or not and where the axe may next fall is a subject of dubious discussion.CITY AMUSEMENTS.Those Last Night's Attractions and Which are to Follow.\u201cFrou Frou\u201d was again played by that great actress Olga Nethersole, last night, at the

large and fashionable company assembled at the Boston Museum last night on the occasion of the opening of the regular dramatic season, the fitfty-fourth in \u2018the history of the house, The time.honored custom of giving a friendly welcome to the artists as each made his or her appearance was observed with the familiar heartinesd, Mr.Fred.Lennox and Miss Josie Sadler being specially honored in tlus regard, their reception being prolonged and characterized by great enthusiasm.Throughout the whole evening the applause wus very generous, and encores were many-\u2014so many, in fact, that thgy lengthened the performance considerably.The leading ladies of the company were given some exceedingly large and handsome baskets of flowers, and the occasion generally was evidently a highly pleasurable one to the audience.The new company has been well selected, and its efforts were wholly efficient, and there was every evidence that its capacity is much superior to the demands that were made upon it by \u201cPrince, Pro Tem.\u201d THE RORAL.*\u201cThe Boy Tramp,\u201d an old favorite in Montreal, is the attraction at the Royal next week.It is too old to necedliadvance press notices.CARL WALTHER\u2019S CONCERT.The violin recital of Mr.Carl Walther in the Y.M.C.A.Hall last evening reminds the Montreal public that their city is every day becoming the home of artists of first rauk who donot consider it a waste of their education to live here and whodo not starve on the attempt either.Mr.Carl Walter, who is a native of La Havre, France, but partly of German parentage, has not been long in the city and has only once or twice appeared in public.His advent was not heralded by any \u201c\u2018belaboring of the tympani,\u201d but for all that he is a first class artist, and one which it is a credit to have for a citizen and a pleasure to welcome to the musical coterie, His playing is of the Belgian school (he having principally studied at the Conservatory at Brussels) and somewhat recalls memories of Marteau.Comparisons are said to Le odious, but that is an obsolete apophthegim, when the comparison is instituted in an explanatory and not in an invidious spirit.Mr.Walther differs from Marteau, principally in having less of the vivaci*y of abandon of the latter, he takes his music scriously and so his passion is deep and earnest, and his phrasing is broad and artistic, while a truly wsthetic temperament furnishes him with a power of interpretation that serves to display aud develop all the beauties of the selections he pertorms.He has no mannerisms, nor does he indulge in gymnastics, which many critics dub under & word of their own coining, viz: \u201cvirtuosity,\u201d and which are at all times unworthy of a true artist, and yet it must not be supposed that he Jacks encrgy and fire to bring out the spirit of more impassioned compositions.At such occasions his technique is quite adequate to rise to heights ot a very noble and virile emotion.Iis violin is of an Italian model (Sanctus Ruffino) and combines sweetness with good tone aud sufficient power.He gave a fine reading of Chopin\u2019s Nocturne No.2, and Wienianski\u2019s Romance] and Polonaise and Delibe\u2019s delicate, Pizzicati, was received with a storm of enthusiasm bv the well selected audience.Me was ably assisted by Miss Hollinshead and Mr.Saucier, of whom it is scarcely necessary to speak.SUIT OVER THE DESBARATS ESTATE.Quebec, Jan.4.\u2014Miss Violet G.Des.barats, daughter of the late Wm.Selby Desbarats, immigration agent, has taken

York, Jan.4\u2014R.G.Dun and Company\u2019s weekly review of trade ; Failure# for 1894 are fully reported this week, being 13,885 in the United States, and 1,856 in the Dominion of Canada.Liabilities in the United States were $172,992,856, and in Canada, $17,616,215.Neither the decrease of over hulf in discount; nor the increase of 40 per cent, in Canada is surprising, but the statement shews that most of the decrease in the Uuited States is manufacturing liabilities, while the entire increase in Canada is in liabilities of trading concerns.The complete review of different branches of business given to-day places in a clear light the fact that prices of commodities are at the lowest level ever known.During the greater part of the year business hus been disturbed by monetary apprehensions, the gold reserve in theTreasury having fallen dangerouslylow.Unquestionably large withdrawals of foreign capital, throughsalesof securitiesand otherwise, have caused the outgo of gold, the duration and extent of which, theretore, depends upon other than commercial elements.Extraordinary abundance of money has resulted from the general dullness of trade, and the movement to this centre has been unprecedented in volume, The condition of industries has been largely governed by the fall in prices, and while production is much greater than a year ago, the aggregate increase being fairly measured by \u2018the increase of 8.24 per cent.in hours of work done in November, compared with the previous year, it has been the controlling feature in almost every important industry that consumption has not kept pace with the output, and has not sustained prices.The woolen industry records a production\u2018for the year about a quarter less than normal, and for the last four months, 28.47 percent.less than in 1892 in quantity of wool consumed, but in value of product the decrease was of course greater.The cotton industry, with material close to the cheapest point ever known, keeps most of the mills at work but by selling goods at prices quite unprecedented.\u201c The year has been especially noteworthy for the lowest prices of wheat and cotton on record.Both euffer from whelly unprecedented accumulation of stocks, the crops being large.Outside this country wheat production has not increased enough to justify a price of 60 cents at New York.AMERICA\u2019S SUPPLY OF WHEAT.New York, Jan.4.\u2014Bradstreets\u2019 to-mor- morrow will say: Aviilable wheat, United States and Canada, January, 1, aggregated 127,009,000 bushels; 17,000,000 bushels more than one year before,

bushels from one year ago.10,500,900 bushels from two years and 2D,- 700,000 bushels from threc years ago.A fairly good business is reported by Halifux jobbers, but they are not inclined to report the near future bright, and collections are unusually slow.Some improvement in trade is reported from Moatreal although the fur business is disappo ting.In Torouto business is quiet and the prospects are thought not favorable, aliihough stocks of merchandise, generally, are small.There are 33 business failures reported f10m the Dominion of Canada this week, ag nst 36 in the week a year ago, and 27 two

Strong, the Mayor elect, on the thirteenth of this month.I feel that I want to retire, but I am ready and willing to give help whenever it is required.Idonot want to embarrass Colonel Strong or anyone else.\u201d The great Superintendent had severed, perhaps forever, nerhaps only for a time; his connection with the force! The news spread like wildfire.There was an immediate exodus froin the committeeroom and men rushed about, breaking the news.No greater excitement has been witnessed in New York, except on election night, * since President Garfield's death, by the appearance of newspaper extras.ROMANCE OF A BULLET.{t Recalls the Eventful Days of the Siege | of Paris.This advertisement was printed in one f the newspapers recently: \u201cLosT\u2014On Friday evening, in 23d st, 1ear 7th ave., a lady\u2019s gold watch and i hain, with a bullet set in silver, a small | tlass cross and a medal; the finder will be ewarded at Priest's drug store, 23d st.and Ith ave.There is nothing remarkable about the, watch, chain, cross or medal, but the bullet has a romagrce which the loser of the >rinkets told to a Sun reporter.It begins away back in the time of the Franco- Prussian war.At that time the person .n question was studying art in Paris.In her own words the romance of the bullet \u20183 as follows: | \u201cWhen the siege of Paris began, I, like a number of other American women, offered my services as a nurse.There wercenough of us, I am proud to say, to maintain a hospital of our own.About the last of October or the first of November, 24 years ago, our ambulance drove up one day to the tent over which I had charge, and they lifteda handsome young Zouave out of it.He had been shot in the calf of the leg.The surgeons immediately laid him upon the operating cot and began probing for the buliet.I was bathing his head and trying to relieve his pain.When ; \u201chey finally cut the bullet out I took it, | At police headquarters the news created almost a panic.The Inspectors had gone home.but there were a number of subordinate officers about, and they acted as if their main prop had heen kicked from under them.Thomas Byrnes is registered in the force ' books as having been born in Ireland in 1842.He was a child when his parents came to this country.He went to the war with a New York regiment.In 1863 he was appointed on the police force and performed his first duty in the Mercer street precinct.Me was made roundsman about four years later, and in 1869 he was promoted to sergeant.He was appointed captain in 1870.The first precinct he commanded was the East Fifty-first street, and afterward he was sent to the Mercer street.It was while be was captain there that he became famous and noted as a detective through his successful work in the Manhattan Bank burglary.His success was so marked that he was designated to reorganize the Detective Bureau at headquarters.This wasin 1879, when he was transferred and placed in charge of the detectives.He was promoted to Inspector, and under his leadership the Detective Bureau be- same a most successful institution.He established a branch bureau in Wall street, and a special squad of triel men were detailed to look after and protect the banking and financial institutions in the lower part of the city.The depredations of bank sneaks, badgers and pickpockets which had been common around Wall street became a thing of the past.Inspector Byrnes gave orders to arrest any thief who might be found around the Wall street district, and who could not give a good account of himself, In this way he drove the thieves aud crooks out of Wall street.A special law was enacted several years ago creating the office of Chief Inspector for Mr.Byrnes at asalary of $5,000 per year, He lield this office until he became Superintendent, on April 12, 1892, succeeding William Murray, who was retired on that day.During the first four years of Mr.Byrnes\u2019 administration of the Detective Bureau more than 3,800 arrests were made.During the entire time that he was in charge ofthe bureau the criminals arrested by his men received sentences to State Prison aggregating ten thousand years.Mr.Byrnes has a national reputation as a thief taker.A complete record of his notable cases would fill columns.One of his noteworthy achievements was the arrest of the blackinailer of Jay Gould.The case of the French Saloonkeeper Louis Hanier, who was shot dead by Patrick McGloin, is well remembered.The murder was shrouded in mystery for a long time, but the Inspector- finally ran down the murderer, who was hanged in the Tombs.The arrest of \u201cFrench,\u201d who murdered the woman known as \u201cOld Shakespeare,\u201d in a Water street hotel a few years ago, also made him famous.There are other cases in which Mr.Byrnes distinguished himself and gained much prominence and fame.As a thief taker, he has been regarded as the greatest in the country.He received honorable mention for brave dceds on several occasions.They Always Are.\u201cThere is & man who will be missed after he is gone.\u201d *\u201cWho is he?\u201d + \u201cA bank cashier,\" Woman In the Eastern War.Frances Willard says: \u201cIn tho great war now convulsing the east, which nation is it that is at its last gasp?The ono that binds its women\u2019s feet in order that they may be keepers at home, the nation where you see notices posted up beside the beautiful sheets of water in the pleasure grounds of its mandarins, \u2018No girl babies allowed to be drowned here.\u2019 That nation is now on the keen jamp to get away from its enemy, and the wife of the victorions general isa graduate of Wellesley college.washed it, and, as is customary, handed it | to the wounded man.With a cheerful smile he said: \u201c \u2018Won't you keep it, mademoiselle?As scon as I get well I can go out and get another.\u2019 \u201cI thanked him, and promised that I would keep it and wear it.Ihad a silver band placed around it, with three little silver chains, so that I could wearit on my watch chain.\u201d\u201d\u2014New York Sun.AFTER DIVES HAS DINED.A Thrifty Frenchwoman Collects Enough to Furnish RH er Boarding- House Table.An illustration of keen French thrift, beside which yankees methods reseinble almost oriental extravagance, is the catering done by a little French boarding-house Keeper, says the New York Evening Sun.She supplies small rooms and two meals a day to lodgers of modest means, who boast of her table.It is, indeed, quite royally spread, and literally from the kitchen of millionaires.A year ago it occurred to her, as she went to market in the early morning, that the garbage caus sent out from the areaways of fine houses betrayed a lamentable wastage of good food.She was visited by a great ides and acted upon it by having interviews with the cooks of several uptown mansions! The result was that for a small consideration these cooks consented to permit her the privilege of making what selections she wished from the plates and dishes returned to the kitchen from the mistress\u2019 table, after the cook had made certain reservations.Here wasa wealth of material beyond the dreams of any boarding-house gourmand.The little French woman rarely goes to the regular market, but once a day makes her | rounds to the kitchens.She carries a basket lined with zinc and divided into compartments, and a fork.Her selections from the plates and dishes are made with the utmest discretion, and in her own kitchen every scrap is turned to the most tempting and wonderful account.Lier expenses have been greatly reduced, and ber boarders look forward to her meals with great anticipation.Worry.Worry is killing.Itis bad management that kills people.Nature will let no man overwork himself unless he plays her false, unless he takes stimulants at irregular times, smokes much or takes opium.If he is regular and obeys the laws of health and walks in the way of physiological righteousness, hature will neverallow him or ary person to work too hard.I have never yet seen a case of breaking down from overwork alone, but I admit that it is necessary above 2ll things to cultivate tranquility of mind.Try to exercise your wills in regard to this\u2014for will counts for something in securing tranquility\u2014to accept things as they are and not to bother about yesterday, which is gone forever; not to bother about to-morrow, which is not ours; but to take the present day and make tho best of it.Those women who will continually peer into what lies beyond never have any present life at all\u2014they are always grizzling over the past or prying into the future, and this blessed to-day, which is all that we are sure of, they never have.\u2014Sir Andrew Clark.\u201cLittle?\u201d Japan, Possibly it is because Japan is a pet of the American public that she is so frequently spoken of as \u201clittle Japan.\u201d Among the nations of the earth Jupan is not specially little either in area or population.The area of Japan, 147,655 square miles, is larger by 27,000 square miles than that of the United Kingdom.Furthermore, there are 41,000,000 pcople who are subjects to the Mikado, against 88,000,000 in the United Kingdon, taking latest census reports in both cases, Japan's population is larger than Italy's by fully 10,000,000, while her area is 387,000 miles greater.No one speaks ot Italy as \u201clittle Ita#y,\u201d although she is not so populous as Japan.Japan has nearly ten times the area and almost twenty times the population of Denmark.Japan is not a \u2018little\u2019 country save as compared with such unwieldy masses as the Chinese Empire or such a giant as the United States.That she is big enough to hold her own and more she has evinced in battle to the amazement of her great antagonist.\u2014 Boston Lranscript.Christmas Carols, The first Christmas carol, as Milton and Jeremy Taylor have said, was sung by the angels on the plains of Bethlehem.This custom has prevailed in most Christian countries and is perpetuated in England and on the continent.Calabrian minstrels still leave their mountaius during the last days preceding Christmag for Naples or Rome, saluting with their wild music the shrines of the Virgin Mother, to cheer her until the birth hour of the infant Jesus, now near at hand.The first Christmas carols were hymnsin honorof the nativity.They afterward assumed a more secwdar character, many of them being songs of revelry accompanying the festivities of the season.The War Scare.Jimson, meeting Tirnson the otlier morn- Îng on the \u2019bus, coming to the city, after passing the usual courtesies, comes out with the following: \u201cApropos of the war scare, I have arrived at the conclusion, after grave consideration, that if a colored waiter should drop a platter containing a roast turkey, the act would be productive of a grand complication of ovils; namely, the downfall of Turkey, the overthrow of Greece, the breaking-up of China, and the humiliation of Africa!\u201d From Church to Theater, The Rev.Father Conway, pastor of a Catholic church in Dickson City, who has long had a fondness for the stage, has j}in- ed tho company of Chauncey Olcott.The priest is said to have built up a church in Dickson City, in which place his name has recently appeared on the bills announcing the play *\u2018 Mavourneen.\u2019\u2019 From San Francisco comes a dispatch to tho offect that tho Rev.W.H.Harris, a young Episcopal clergyman, had announced his purposo to adopt tho theator.Ho is said to havo secured an introduction to Alexander Salvini, who has promised to givo him tho first opening in tho Sal- vini company.| PREVENT PNEUMONIA, HOME REMEDIES TO USE IN THE ABSENCE OF THE DOCTOR.The Causes of the Discata -The Tamperata talking Cround &y the Disease\u2014The Part Absolute Quiat Climates the Real Plays in Securing Recovery.Conditions of weather and climate are probably the nesst important of all known agencies in the causation of pneumonia.| The Influence of the cold and dampness in | increasing the liabilities to acute inflammatory diseases of the chest are well known.The disease is also more corimon in temperate climates than in regions characterized by great heat or extreme cold.Pneumonia is a trouble which falls so quickly upon ome\u2019s system that it is hard i to discover the precise moment of attack.\u201cWear a chamois skin jacket lined with flannel next the skin all winter, if one has any predisposition or inherited tendency toward this weakness,\u201d advised one phyg- sician: \u201cI find this an excellent prevon- tive.\u201d \u201cIt is also a good idea,\u201d he continued, \u201cto keep the blood well nourished.Etrong ! food is a formidable foe to pneumonia, for i it puts the tissues in such condition from its effect that they throw off the cold.\u201d {Pneumonia goes harder with men than women, all doctors agree, the reason being that the lat.er are more constantly exposed.As soon as the rigor comes on, which is as significant of approaching danger as the shrill rattle of a snake, go to bed.Do not temporize with the disease.Discretion is the best part of valor, and a quick surrender makes the enemy less implacable.Take an effective laxative, 20 grains of quinine, a hot lemonade, and get a good I sweat.Stay in bed for 36 hours, and in six cases out of ten the symptoms will pass.In children the rigor is often displaced by a convulsion oy violent fit of nausea.In amateur treatment to prevent what inclines toward pneumonia, care shonld always be taken about the heart.Failure of curdiac power is the great source of danger, and, therefore, digitalis, which is such a help in uncomplicated cages, to depress the circulation, has to be sparingly used where avy heart weakness is discernible.But quinine remairs good in all cases and stages.It can be taken in large doses, 20 grains or more, repeated at intervals of 24 hours.A full dose of brandy is an excellent accompanist to this.Cold baths are given at ence, abroad, bub it is not à safe thing to try without the aid of à physisisn, and would be ciassed more as acute than a preventative, Sothe old-time ren:edy of a good bob mustard foot bath with a blanket wrapped about the knces and a few blankets over the body stands still a favor at the beginning of the invasion.Absolute quiet should be maintained from the start, for the herves play a great part in tho development of pneumonia.je room should be at a temperature of CS degrees.Milk, soup or lemonade, quite hot, should be the only food.If the fever rises, cold sponging is the thing to do, except in the caso of weak children, when tepid baths should be substituted.Turpentine inhalations assists expectoration, tone up the system and are pleasant for the patient.Some of the physiciais now favor a hypodermic injection of borax; claiming that it is an excellent arrester.If there is a pain in the side or lungs, which generally accompanies the rigor, mustard plasters should be used, and wet or dry cupping according to the intensity of the pain.Some physicians are using choloroform sonked in cotton, with a dry layer of the cotton protecting it, to alleviate the distress.But, again, this deserves professional treatment.If one has any tendency toward lung or throat trouble it is well to remember that the ankles and arms should be kept well covered.These parts are very sensitive, and the woman who wears a short-sleeved, high-necked shirt is more imprudent than it she exposad her throat.For this reason high boots should be unvaryingly worn in cool days outside of the house or inside, if there is no furnace heat.\u2014Jocelyu Davies, in St.Louis Republican.The Bicycle for Women, The mention of the bicycle for women opens a field of mild controversy which is only important because some of the objections to its use are taken from the bygen- ic standpoint as well as frori the social.Many objectors contend that the wheel is as undesirable for women as the sewing machine, while the muajority of parents seriously object to vrhat they feel to be the unpleasant pablicity of the exercise.| As u matter of health, which is of the first importance, the writer has made many inquiries among women who use the wheel regarding the effects of the exercise upon them, and has failed to discover a single case of injury or poor health resulting from its use.On the contrary, the testimony to its exhiliarating and healthful effect is universal.Several other American physicians, qualified to speak from experience in their- practice- among- women,- have warmly commended its use.From the standpoint of a symmetrical exercise, the position is preferable to that on a horse.The movement is unlike that of a sewing machine in several important respects: Instead of being bowed over in a cramped position which restricts the action of the lungs, digestive and pelvie organs alike, the woman rider sits erect, cs PRADA VA A: | If | HALL GAS it | CAMP YAGHT Is || HOT AiR & SALESROOHS & WAREHOUSES = 1.1.1] PARLOR STOVE KITCHEN RAKSE CANDY FURNAGE | | SAD IRON HEATER HOT WATER ALL SIZES PATTERNS & PRICES.WM.CLENDINNENG & SON, 524 Craig St, Cor.Inspector and We i | i\u201c Have *, {6 Got \"Em.st William Sts.: 3558 Notre Dame street, st.Henry.Le DTV LVVVIVIVVNN Royal Roaster and Baster Will not only save trouble in not having to baste your roast, but will \u2018save 2 Ibs.of Met on every roust of 12 lbs.SKATES!

JOIINSON AND EXPERT RACERS, STAR IIOCKEYS, ALL NEW STYLES, L.J.A.SURVEYER, 6 St.Lawrence Street, Less Talk and More Work, At the London Pioneer club recently a discussion took place on the proposition, \u2018The aititude of some advanced women toward men is calculated to injure the best interests of women.\u201d One \u2018\u2018new\u2019\u2019 woman argued that the present stand of tha advanced woman was necessary, for no \u201cabject ruce'\u2019 had ever raised itself without hard blows on either side.A scrt of internecine war, according to some womer, is evidently necessary to settle tho question whether man is to be the predominant partner.Mrs.Hobson's exposition of the case was amusing.She hoped that, though tho total extinotion of man might be desirable, such was not yet & possibility.Meanwhile woman should both tolerate and educate him.Her views of thositu- ation gep:rally prevailed.She conclud- ad her remarks with the suggestion that memories of hard things in the past should bo forgotten an:l a fresh start should be made, wilh an talking less and doing moro.The Neweastle Chronicle, Newcastle, in commenting upon this, remarks that \u2018without quarreling about doing more humorists might sug- gost that it would be advantageous and pleasant if women, especially tho \u2018new womay,\u2019 could possibly talk less.\u201d Tho Campalza of Gno Woman, Bt.Louis

as to the growth of plants.In this series of experiments Mr.Anderson has been studying the growth of the pumpkin and its vine, making use of his new electrical device for measuring plant growth.\u2018This work has been in progress for fully a weck, and the interesting fact is revenl- ed that the pumpkin itself does most of its diminishes its activity as the sun rises and begins to act upon its leaves, From 9 o'clock in the morning until 3 o'clock in the afternoon the weight of the fruit diminishes, owing to the evaporation of water from the leaves of the plant.The general results show that when the fruit grows most the vine grows least, and vice versa.The course of these experiments has been watched with great interest by tho botanical department, as they cover à part of the science as yet very little Enown.\u2014 Minneapolis Times.Grated Apple Pudding.Beat half a pound of sugar and a quarter of a pound of butter to a cream.Add about 6 grated apples, the rind of 2 lemons

religious teachers.If the unmarried condition renders one sex superior for ethical instruction, why should it not render tie other?It seems to mo that this argument is kept up, mot for the honor of

movement in the direction of larger freedom and opportunity for women on the ground that women already have all the liberty they need.\u2018\u2018Where,\u2019\u2019 he asks indignantly, \u2018\u2018can nobler types of Ii da womanhood be found than were our mothers and grandmothers?Do not their purity, tenderness, fidelity to duty and capacity to deal successfully with complicated bousehold affairs prove that they possessed all the freedom they required far the development of their fac- \u2018nities and the fulfillment of their mission?\u2019 Qur correspondent apparently fails to soe that in recounting the admirable qualities of the woman of the past she is making the strongest possible plea for the complete emancipation of the woman of the present and the future.The fact that under such limitations as have existed until recently the women of America have nobly borne their part in the maintenance of the houschald ! and the upbuilding of our great republic is surely a potent argument for wid- \u2018ening their opportunities for usefulness ! and self development.Even from this essemtially narrow point of view the | | Women of the United States have proved | \u2018themselves the worthy helpmeets and the fit peers of men, for no man with \u2018brains and discrimination can ignore the faot that the domestic problems which women are constantly called upon to solve are among the most diffi- oult questions of human existence that they require tact, wisdom, firmness and charity in a measure not exceeded by any other complications, and that upon their rightful solution rests not merely ths happiness of the home, but the integrity of the nation.The saying that l\u2018\u2019îhe hand that rocks the cradle is the lhand that rules the world\u2019 is as

ballot.~\u2014New York Press.| i | i Miss Toulmin Smith, Miss Toulmin Smith is the first woman to receive the appointment of librarian of Manchester college, Oxford.Miss Smith has won the much coveted post by sheer force of merit and over the heads of nearly 100 competiters, chiefly of the sterner sex.Manchester college, the fine Gothic building which Was opened two years ago by the Unitarians, has proved itself fully abreast of the spirit of the times, which takes personality rather than sooial position, ca- Pacity rather than sex, as tho true basis of selection for office.Dr.Murray, the editor of the great dictionary now being issued by the Oxford Press, has intrusted much of his most difficult research work to Miss Toulmin Smith, who has proved herself an invaluable colleague.She is a great granddaughter of Mr.Toulmin, the well known Presbyterian divine.Her father hailed from War- wickshire, her mother from Yorkshire, us she happened to be born at Roxbury, Mass., during her parents\u2019 short sojourn in the States.She has lived in High- gate nearly all her life, for many years aiding her father in his writings on constitutional history.With Dr.Elizabeth Blackwell and a few others she founded the National Health scciety and acted as secretary for some time.She has for many years been a school manager under the Hornsey school board, and she watches with intense interest the prog- Less of the present struggle, Her sym- HTT Women Hairdressers.Some one told tho writer the other day that auy number of clever well bred women were earning very respectable incomes by following the profession of drossing heir.At first blush he could not beliove it to be either lucrative or enduring &- permanent omployment, but investigation developed somo interesting and val- table information on the subject.It appears that these peripatetic hairdressers secure the patronage of a restricted number of ladies and work them for their cliental only.They form season engagements, and where a patron keeps her own personal maid they visit her twice a week.Tho dressers\u2019 duties include shampooing tho head, preserving tho perfect condition of the hair.The work is neither tedious nor un- refining, and many wealthy women aro willing to pay and do pay good prices for this luxury in tho morning or late afternoon hours.Some of these hairdressers have fully six hours of each day regularly engaged by their customers.They carry about a small case containing healthful tonics and fragrant washes.Of course each lady keeps her individual combs and brushes.The dresser spends an hour At each house, charging $1.50 for a visit.So busy women, therefore, who can put in 86 hours a week are able to command an income of $9 a day, an eminently respectable revenue for any oue to earn.\u2014 Boston Globe.Last Sezson\u2019s Gown.An acceptable way to modernize and freshen last season\u2019s cloth gown is to strip off its fur, velvet or moire, and substitute satin.The soft finish satin rhadamse is the best, and new slecves of this material go a long way in the renovating process.Put in a full front of the satin and cut off last year\u2019s pointed bodice to the waist line.This is one of the small points that betray the old or new fashion.Finish the bodice with a soft twisted fold of the satin, which fold tailors take care shall fit smopth and snug, with no bulging.If there has been a foot trimming whose stitches show after careful pressing, a bias hem of cloth, headed by a narrow (when finished) fold of satin is a permissible covering.It is a hint for the oo dressmaker to make this fold of double satin.In this way a better effect is insured.Of course the skirt of last season must be widened.In some cases this is difficult, but if no more cloth is at hand to make the two additional gores Lnee deep fans of satin at each gore\u2014with onc to the waist if necessary\u2014at the back may bo a suggestion of value.If the fans aro used, it is better, if possible, to leave the foot without the hem and fold.Trimming between the fans detracts from their good effect.For the neck of tho bodice there should be a satin czarina, with \u2018\u2018ears\u2019\u2019 at the .sides or a bunch of flowers, and the wrists may be finished plain or a bias twist of the satin drawn about each, ending in a smart, perky little bow and ends on the top of the arm\u2014New York Times.When Buying Furs.In buying furs especially for trimming go to a first class place, inasmuch as the furs that are apparently sold for such cheap prices are usually found lacking, writes Isabel A.Mallon in The Ladies\u2019 Honio Journal.Frequently they have not been taken care of during the summer, and the moth has made his home among the hairs, and in a short time you will find your gown or skirt continually covered with them, and wherever you sit or whoever may be near will also suffer from this rain of loose fur.If a good effect is produced by an imitation fur, buy it, but examine it well.Mink is partiomlarly well imitated, and as the real fur is quite expensive it may be taken for granted that on nine out of ten gowns the fur has never been acquainted with that sharp looking little animal whose head just now is of so much value.Tho imitations of ermiue arc never good and therefore not to be thought of.Astrakhan is sufficiently low in price to permit any one getting a gown trimming to have the real article itself.By the bye, in speaking of laces and furs, I forgot to mention that over the deep fur capes, thoso reaching far below the waist, it is considered in perfectly good taste to wear a shoulder cape of lace.Usually one of the sharply pointed designs is chosen for this purpose.Jam Spoon Holder.The spoonholder shown herewith con- gists of a clip handsomely nickel plated, which can be attached to the side of a jam pot or dish, its purpose being to hold the necessary spoon well away from the preserve and so do away with the troublesome condition known as \u201csgticky fingers,\u2019\u2019 which result from allowing the bandle of the spoon to rest against the side of the pot or dish.\u2014 Hardware Trade Journal.Children\u2019s Feet.A book could be written on children\u2019s ghoes and stockings.When I see a child going along the street with round shoulders, a blue face or a red nose, though it is cold weather, I invariably blame the shoes and stockings.If the extremities are warm, the entire body can be kept wholesomely comfortable.Worsted mittens and warm stockings and heavy shoes are almost as good as à warm coat, and the charitable of- MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1895.Lo VE Le mim | ganizations whose work is to give out footwear do as much for the cold body and the health and happiness of the wearer as if they gave away underwear.The foot can be made pretty if one begins early to train it.Tho small girl or boy should havo thread or silk stockings in warm weather, but in winter merino or worsted is the thing.Tho shape of a stocking is as important as tho shape of a shoe, and a well fitting sole which fits smoothly and still gives room for toes and instep is a very necessary thing.The stocking should be long, coming above the knco and being confined by garters, elastic which comcs from tha side and not bands which go around the leg, impeding tho circulation and caus- \u2018ng all sorts of evils,.\u2014New York Advertiser.Civilization Indicted.Miss O'Connor Eccles at the Pioneer club recently brought various indictments against civilization, which she contended had as many disadvantages as advantages, or possibly more.Snobbishness was one of these disadvantages, the pursuit of the wealthy another.\u2018There wero some people,\u2019 said Miss O\u2019Conror Eccles humorously, \u2018\u2018that oro would not know under a million of money, while others required even two to become desirable acquaintances.\u2019 The vulgarity of tho \u2018\u2018superior person\u2019 also came in for some scathing but amueing criticism, and the literary individual who traflics with his cmo- ions, the spraker believed, was indigenous to a highly cultivated social soil.The Pioneers, however, would have none of this adverse criticism, and taking Miss O'Connor Eccles\u2019 persiflage au grand serionx proceeded to explain at gome length that the only fault with us at present was that we were not yet civilized enough.The notion of pioncer- ing backward did not commend itself to the company at Burton street.\u2014London Queen.Mrs.W.D.Egenhoff.Mrs.W.D.Egenhoff has been superintendent of public instruction for Mari- posa county, Cal., for eight years.She was left a widow at 22, with two young sons.A correspondent in Mariposa writes: \u2018\u2018Elected to office a year or two after ber husband\u2019s death, she has proved a capable superintendent, an excellent teacher and a first class mother.There is not a railroad in the county.Sometimes alone, sometimes with a lady friend, Mrs.Egenhoff has driven 150 miles at onctrip over steep roads skirting dizzy precipices to visit the schools.Nearly every school in the county has been visited annually, including the one in the Yosemite valley.Mrs.Egenhoff is physically fragile and is very quiet and unassuming.As she declined to serve another term, another very capable woman has been elected to succeed her.\u201d Successful Teachers.Three of the best known young woman of Cincinnati have taken the Hopkins house, immediately opposite the entrance to Bryn Mawr college, Bryn Mawr, Pa., and have opened a school to prepare girls for that famous institution.These are the Misses Shipley, daughters of Mr.Murray Shipley, widely known in business and bencvolent circles.Miss Lizzie Shipley was a graduate of Wesleyan and subscquently pursued special studies in Germany.Each has eminent qualifications for the undertaking.Their idea is to study tho special aptitudes of cach student, while preparing her for advanced collegiate work, with the view to aid her in wisely choosing her electives.The capacity of their school is already taxod to accom:modate tho applicants.-\u2014Cecntral Christian Advocate.Women Win In London.\u2018Women succeeded in putting two of their number into the now school board for London.Fifty-five members wero to be chosen for the new board, and there were 90 candidates.The two women who were successful ran on the progressive ticket.That party was beaten last year, and this year failed of à majority in the bourd, but out of 1,606,788 votes cast received 817,652.Five years ago the progressives, polled cnly 261,000 votes.Bliss Daverport-Hill, who was elected for the city proper, received 18, - 532 votes, and Mrs, Maitland, who stcod for Chelsea, was honcred with more than 30,000.Women Architects, Mary MN.Gannon and Alice J.Hands, who are seniors of the New York School of Applied Design For Women, have designed the Women's building for the Cotton States and International exhibition ab Atlanta in 1895.The work took them three weeks and is figured out to the smallest detail, while their estimates are $3,000 below the $20,000 limit.These young women won last summer five out of scven competitions with other New York architocts.The Czarina Slide.The czarina slide goes on conquering and to conquer.The wreath and Italian forms, with their foliations, prevail.An exceedingly pretty ornament used for the same purpose is tho upright bar of gems or rhinestones.At Icast two of these aro essential, one each being placed at the side wings.Occasionally a slide is placed in the center.\u2014Jewel- ers\u2019 Circular.A moon faced woman, with a broad comb surmounting her head, is not a thing of beauty, though she fiatters herself that she is a \u2018\u2018glass of fashion.\u2019 In reality she would look much better if she pierced her slender empire twist with a long slender pin.Portieres are now suspended from the banging crane of carved wood and can close a doorway, shut off a cozy corner, or, at pleasure, fold back, making a wall hanging without taking up any space.A smoky lamp is often the result of a dirty and clogged wick.Steep the wick in a little strong wushing soda and hot MARKETING LESSONS.What Cuts of Beef to buy and how to use FThem\u2014Montrcai Price.- The ladies of Montreal, or at least thoce who attend at the Marketing Lesson at the Cooking School on Thursday afternoon will have no such claims tofthe title as the parson\u2019s wife whom the butcher described as a \u2018real Judy\u201d because she did not know one joint from another.A side of beef weighing 300 lbs.was cut up before the class by a master butcher and his assistant in such a manuer that everyone present left the room feeling competent to choose scientifically and economically any number of dinners for the rest of lier natural life.The time occuried by the demonstration took less than an hour, and at the close of the lecture, although piles of roasts, steaks and bones tay on the tables, there was not a drop of blood nor a scrap of suet to be seen on the floor, and the aprons of the demonstrators were as immaculate as at the beginning.l'o be in prime condition the animal when killed should be about Lhree ycars old, and should weigh from 300 to 600 pounds when dressed.Beef should be hung for ten days, or even longer, Lefore being sold.fv is then rather dark in color and the fat should be firm and white.When meat is bright red, it isa sign that it is freshly killed, and therefore 1t is tougher than that which has had time to mature in the ice house.The uccompanying diagram shows the manner in which a side ot beef is usually cut in this country.In England and the United States the cuts are somewhat diflerent, each country having its own method.The hind quarter furnishes the most meat anid is the most valuable, the nearer you come to the front of the animal, the cheaper and coarser ure the cuts, Beginning with the shank (13) we have a large knuckle which is good for white stock.This part sells for five cents a pound.When the bone containing the marrow is taken out and divided into what are called marrow bones, they are sold for five cents apiece.The flank or under piece of the hind quarter makes good stews, soups aud corning picees, and costs five cents a pound.Coming higher up on the hind quarter we have the round of beef (12.) \u2018I'he round steaks ave cat from this part and sold at 12}c per pound.As there is almost no bone this cut is a most economical one.Beef tea and beef a Ia mode are generally prepared from the round.For a large family the whole round may be bought, the first part cut into steaks aud roasts, aad the rest corned.To corn meat make a pickle of a quart of salt and one teaspoon of salpetre to one pail of water.Leave the meat in it 14 days at least.Corned meat is not as nourishing as that which is only roasted but it makes an acceptable change in our diet.The aitch-bone (11) may be used as roasts with the bone taken out and the meat rolled, or stewed, with vegetables in different ways.The sirloin steaks and porter-house steaks come from the loin (10), and are the choicest portions of the whole side of beef.Neqt to them is (9) the sirloin roast, the favorite roast to many people.In buying asirloin roastit is more profitable to take one from 12to15 lbs.as there is less waste cn a large roast than on a small one.The price varus from 1253 to 15 cents, and upwards.The fillet, or under cut, when 8)ld alone, cests 30 to 50 cents a pound, as the entire loin of Leef has to be deprived of the under cut toobtain it.The hind-quarter ends with the sirloin, after which come the rib cuts, (8) three in number.The centre nr second rib roast sells for 123 cents per 1b.and by many is preferred to the sirloin.The shoutder (3), or chuck, roast has four clos and is used for stews, smothered beef, etc, and costs 10 or 11 cents per Ib.In the poorer districts of Moutrral it is said lu be the only part sold as steuk, -he Letter portions of the animal being sold uptown.At the price sold it is not economical as steak on account of the large proportion of bone.The neck (2) sells for G cents a pound and is used for soups, beef tea, ete.The head (1) is seldom seen in our shops\u2014it may be used for mince-meat by those who will take the trouble to clean it; but other pieces of inferior meat without bore may be had at the same price.The shank (6) is used for the same purposes as the hind-shank and sells at the same price, 5 cents per Ib.The shoulder (5 and 4) has a good deal of meat in the front portion and is used for stews, etc.It costs 10 cents per lb., or if the whale shoulder is taken 8 cents.The shoulder is one of the imost economica parts for a large famiiy, as the torepart can be made into Various dishes and the boues make excellent soup.The brisket (7.7) is the cheapest part of the animal except the shanks, it costs seven or cight cents per pound and may be corned or stewed, or boiled with the bones taken ont.The bones are cracked into pieces and used for stock.At the close of the lecture five o'clock tea was served.It is the intention of the managers of the Cooking School to have (lemonstraticns on the cutting up of sides of lamb and perk as soon as suitable arrangements for the lectures for the New Year have been completed.8 THE POULTRY SHOW.Associations Annual Meeting and Preparation for the Yearly Exhibit, The Montreal Poultry Association held their regular monthly meeting on Thursday evening in their meeting room at the Vie.toria Armory which was very largely attended, and all the final arrangements to make their annual exhibition which takes place in the Victoria Armory next week, a success were reported upon by the various committees.The entries number about 1000 birds which is several hundred more than last yer, and the competition for the Landscrue siver Cups is going to be very keen.The Sir Donald A.Smith Cup is now on exhibition in the window of Messrs.H.Birks and Sons having been designed and manufactured by them.It is a very handsome cup with models of popular varieties standing upon each end.The Association have engaged the services of the veteran judge of poultry, Mr.J.Y.Bicknell of Buffalo, N.Y., whose decisions always give satisfaction, and Mr.C.H.Currier of this city, who gave universal satisfaction last year, will judge the pigeons.There will be an incubator and brooder in operation, and a beautiful collection of Silver and Golden Pheasants, the property of Mr.A.Joyce, Outremont, will be on exhibition.Last year\u2019s exhibition was a great success, and from presentappearances the one of 1895 is going to eclipse it.Try Souikern Straight Cut Cigarettes.i0c per package.WINNIPEG'S MAYORALTY CONTEST.Winnipeg, January 4.\u2014There is a probability of another mayoralty contest.The friends of Alex.McMicken,

bushels, so says Brad- streets.\u201d Other changes not included in the regular visible and figured by the same authority were: 104,000 in Milwaukee private elevators, 92,000 at Newport News, and 50,000 at Akron.There were increases of 240,000 bushels in Northwestern interior (country) elevators, 60,000 at Fort William» Ount., and 50,000 at Cleveland.Stocks oi corn at Port Huron are now reported 1,000,- 000 bushels larger on December 22nd than announced to Bradstreets\u2019 at the time.\u2018Board of Trade markets show no tendency to become broader or more active\u201d says Meredith and (\u2019Brien\u2019s Chicago letter to-day: *\u2018but on the other haud the bulk of the business to-day was in the direction of reducing outstanding obligations and done by the so-called investment class of professional short sellers.These people raided the grain markets and boughtffair quantities ata small decline except fur vats which broke 4c per bushel as the longs were forced out on stop orders.\u201cPork opened weak on the continued large receipts of hogs, but recevered on the attempt of shorts to cover and rallied 30c for pork, 20c for lard and 15¢ for ribs on buying led by the Cudahy Bros.At the close just about half the improvement was lost under selling by the Swift and Morris packing concerns.Markets all closed rather lifeless.\u201d The Liverpool Corn Trade News in reviewing the situation says that not for over three years had there been such a betterment in the situation from the side of the holders as was now seen.The col- laction of wheat at Black Sea ports for { winter shipment was 7,000,000 bushels less than a year ago, and the stocks at such ceutres as Liverpool, Antwerp and Mannheim were extremely light.In face of the reduced supply there has been a bigger consumptive demand than ever experienced before, and whatever course prices might take it would seem the tendency of supplies would certainly be to fall behind the demand.The receipts in Chicago to-day in cars were as follows : Wheat, 57, contract, 30; corn, 313, contract, 9; oats, 119; contract, 86; hogs, 33,000.Minneapolis received 144 cars to-day, and Duluth 88 cars.Although it is claimed by the State Department of Agriculture in Illinois that the amount of wheat fed to stock in that State was ununportant, 1t is stated that there are a large number of private returns indicating that 20 to 30 per cent.of the total has been fed to stock.The Modern Millor says that the crop conditions in the Southwest are not wholly favorable, Phenomenally dry weather interfered with the growth of the plant and the present status was far below an average.Reports of damage were more frequent, and with the continuation of present conditions would create a little alarm for the future, Millers, while not willing to confess an active business arg not curtailing productions.+ Beerbohm\u2019s \u2018cable reports\u2018to-day says: Cargoes off coast, wheat and corn, nothing doing, On passage,

the water.Scarcely ever has the New Yorkjmarketjbeen as devoid of color as at present.Cable advices are not of an encouraging nature, and quotations sent over a month ago are repeated to-day.The cheese situation in N.3.W.is given by the coirespondent of the London Grocer in the following terms : **\u2018One great thing against cheese-making in this Colony is that the curing rooms must be kept at a temperature of 60 degrees to 65 degrees, and unless this is done by artificial meaus we shall never have a satisfactory article.The best time for the cheese to arrive in the home markets would be imirediately after our butter season is over.The factories will find it to their interest to stop butter-making in February, and make cheese for a few months.The cheese should be shipped about three weeks after it is.made.They don\u2019t an old or hot cheese in London, but a nice mild, flaky one.The weight of cheese at home varies from 60 lbs.to 100 lbs.If we gets 56s per cwt.it would pay as well as butter at 90s to 100s.New South Wales butter graded first quality, aud shipped during the time when cheese should be sent, sold last year as low as 60s, The Austral left Melbourne, taking 530 toms, or about 22,000 boxes, of Victorian butter.The Parramatta takes 3,700 boxes from Sydney.\u201d Butter\u2014The market is as sick as ever, Holders are getting absolutely callous about selling now, ip fact they say.it is practically useless to buy and do so.Buyers are even less inclined to trade, and do uot even consider the most tempting offers.Western dairy in packages is offering at 12¢c, but a straight offer of jc less would unquestionably be accepted.Creamery in small lots sells at 226 or thereabouts, aud Townships is purely nominal in value.Creamery.covvviinnnrionnenenes 19¢ to 20c

market over pretty well, aud only the odds apd ends remain.\u2018These are indifferently held by holders, and buyers could cleat a small stock out at a barguin.Turkeys ure held in some cases in the vicinity of 9c, and chickens le or so less.Dressed Hogs\u2014A moderate to fair demand prevails for dressed hogs with no particular change in the market.Prices rua from $5.35 to

situation.They were aided and abetted by numerous observations made by an audience which numbered at least fifteen.The gentleman who gave utterance to the first sentence is of a very bullish turn of mind, and stated positively that 1,000,000 bushels of Manitoba wheat would not be shipped from the west of Kingston, including Montreal from now until the new crop.The other, of dourse, entertained a radically different opinion, Manitoba wheat is quoted in Liverpool at 124¢ over May option.Duluth wheat is quoted at l4dc.In the latter case, no actual quotation has been made, but estimating from a sale reported in a New York ciruular, shown by a broker on \u2019Change today, which quotes sales of Duluth at 9¢ over the May option f.o.b.store, that would be about the cost in Liverpool.In Consequence of the new membership regulation, the Corn Exchange Association is rapidly increasing in strength.\u2018The following applications were posted to-day : John Crowe, proposed by K.F.Craig;

have received a letter,\u201d said a local broker this morning, \u201cfrom one of the largest grain houses in Liverpool, stating that the general estimate ef the expoggs of wheat on this crop from the ArgeutIne is about 4,500,000 quarters, or about 16,000,- 000 bushels less than on the 1893 crop.\u201d BONSECOURS MARKET.There was a very good supply of stufi offered on the market this morning, but

LOOK TO THE LIBERALS.Devlin and Bourassa Will Assurediy Win Wight and Labelle.Messrs.C.R.Devlin, M.P., of Ottawa County, and H.Bourassa, of Papineauville, Que., are in the city, at the St.Lawrence Hall.The County of Ottawa as now represented in the House of Commons by Mr.Devlin bas been divided, and in the future will be known as the Counties of Wright and Labelle.Mr.Devlin will be the Liberal nominee in Wright, \u201cand Mr.Bourassa has already been nominated as the Liberal candidate in Labelle.The general opinion prevailing is that Mr.Bourassa will be returned by a very large majority.He is popular; an eloquent speaker and enjoys the confidence of Conservatives as well as of Liberals.Several names have been mentioned as possible opponents, but the lack of harmony existing in the ranks of the Conservative party will render it difficult to make a choice acceptable to all sections.Hon.Mr.Ouimet was invited to become a candidate in Labelle county, but knowing that disaster only could attend his candidature he has wisely declined the honor of nomination und the certainty of defeat.Mr.Bourassa has heard it stated that Mr.Mec- Laren «f Buckingham may be his opponent.In h County of Wright Mr.Devlin will like.v be opposed by Dr.Duhamel, the late M.P.P., and presently the registrar.Mr.Devlin says that the Doctor will prove a strong candidate and what will especially help him will be the outrageous manuer in which the lists are being made.The revising officer has struck off the lists of 1891 all the names put down as farmers\u2019 sous and all those on the ground of income.He has virtually disfranchised large portions of the county and always Liberal portivns.He has done the work of his masters well; in fact so well adds Mr.Devlin, that it will be a difficult and serious contest.Mr.Devlin will do all in his power to keep his friend Doctor Du- hamel in private life, but that may be impossible, us should the Doctor be defeated there is the plum of the senatorship of Inkerman division and the report is current that Doctor Duhamel, who is a shrewd man, has consented to run on consideration of she fact that Le would be appointed Senator for the district of Inkerman in case of defeal.Asked if the fact that Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Premier, is an Orangeman, will help the Liberal cause, Mr.Devlin replied, \u201cI do not think that fact will help or hurt the Liberal cause.Mr.Bowell will be opposed not as an Oranceman, but as the champion of the National Policy.With his personal connections and personal inclinations weas Liberals havenothing to do, and on these grounds we will not fight him.He is nov our leader! He is leader of the Conservative party designed by that party generally as best suited for thay position, and if his convictions please them I see no reason why Liberals should interfere.\u2018We have to deal with him as one of the authors of, and as the present «e- fender of the so-called National Policy.The appeal of the Liberals of Canada at the next general elections, as in fact at all past elections, will not be to national, religious or racial prejudices, but an appeal to the honest sentiment of the people; an appeal as to whether the time has come when a policy suited to the best iuterests of our grand country should be adopted, or whether the past policy of the Conservative party which is disgraceful in its inception, criminal in its methods, and disastrous in its effects, shall be carried out.No, Sir.We shall not fight Sir Mackenzie Bowell as an Orangeman; we shall fight him as a Tory; as one of the men who has largely contributed to the present financial depression existing in this country; as the man who de\u2018ended Caron\u2019s trickery; as the man who was ready to ~ whitewash every seandal brought before the Parliament; as the man who has championed every outrageous act, set down to the Couserva- tive party.[As Liberals we will oppose him because we want fair trade ard open markets, for the people of this country; because we want ta see people utterly unfit for office removed, and replaced by men who are looked upon to-day, asthe hesy illustrations of Canadian intellect, capacity and honor.\u201d All meals at \u201cThe Hawthorn\u201d are prepared by Henri Mathicu, late chef of the Windsor Hotel II8 St.Francois Xavier Street formerly known as Compain\u2019s), THE MILK-CAN POLICY.Clarke Wallace Prevents Farm Welland ffpom Selling Milk.Niagara Falls, Ont, Jan.4.\u2014Welland County farmers say they have market in Buifalo for all the milk they can supply, but are unable to build up a trade because of the rulings of Customs officials, Milk is on the free List in the new tariff law of the United States \"although dutiable according to Canadian: \u2018tariff, but both Govérnments maintain a duty on cans.Buffalo dealers ofter to furnish the cans for the importation of Canadian milk, but Hon.N.Clarke Wallace, Controller of Customs, has advised the Welland farmers that duty will have to be paid on a milk can every time it crosses the border.If Canadian caus are used the Customs officials in the United States make the same ruling, so that the milk trade is practically prohibited.This question 1s likely to come up in the next election campaign and it will not be to the benefit of the Government candidate in Welland County.Straight Cut 10c per package.GLENGARRY FARMERS.How to Make Farming Pay Discussed at the Lancaster Institute, {Special to the Herald.) Lancaster, Ont., Jan.4\u2014A very profitable gathering of the farmers of Glengarry took place here on Wednesday afternoon and evening under the presidency of S.C.McDonald, of Alexandria.The platform was occupied by Prof.A.E.Shuttleworth, of the Agricultural College of Ontario; W.S.Fraser, of Brantford; P.Mahon, of\u2018Aber- foyle, Ont., and D.M.Macpherson, M.P.P.The meeting was called to order shortly after two o'clock.In a few appropriate words the president introduced to the audience Prof.A.E.Shuttleworth, who gave a very interesting address in a pleasing manner on \u2018\u201cCrops in their Relation to the Fertility of the Soil.\u201d The speaker went over the subject in a most thorough manner and gave his hearers much valuable informatique The Professor spoke al length on barley.The results of the investigation at the Model Farn and elsewhere indicated that Mandscheri variety was the best barley for Ontario.It yielded 68 bushels per acre for five years at the Model Farm, and the average over Ontario was 38.The address gave rise to a very profitable discussion, which was carried on by D.M.Macpherson, W.8.Fraser, D.Benning of Williamstown, W.J.McNaughton and Dr.Harkness.The questions raised were the comparative values of roots and corn, combination of foods, the number of cattle to the acre, how to secure fertilizers on tne farm; the use of salt, under what conditions valuable, cte.Mr.P.Mahon spoke in the interest of Letter roads, and D.M.Macpherson, M.P.P., told the farmers how to increase the value of their farms.Mr.Macpherson challenges any man or body of men to furnish him money to the extent of $30 per acre, and he will take any ordinary farm with any ordinary farmer, and make it double its value, pay off its indebtedness with interest on the last three years of the ten in which he promises to do the work.He will give his personal security as guaran- tecing the money being paid in ten years.Mr.Fraser, of Brantford, is a practical farmer, and he characterized the challenge \u2018as the most surprising thing he ever heard.\u201d At the evening session addresses were delivered by W.8, Fraser, Prof.Shuttle- worth, P.Mahon and others.It was the most successiul meeving the Institute has yet held.Stall - fed, hand - picked, Mal- pecque dysters, bleeding fresh, at the Oxford Cafe.23¢ a dozen with all the fixings.Try Southern

shape of a copy oi Ihe Montreal Herald\u201d for September 17th, 1814.This sheet is in marked contrast to the Herald of to-day, and shows the great advance made by journalism since the early years of the mtury.a ater was published by William Gray weekly, and contained four pages oi five columns.The size of the page was about 20 inches by 12, Then as now the Herald sought to give its readers all the news, although the information contained in the papers of the day seems bare and meagre nowadays.There were stirring times when this frail and time-stained relic of the early history of the paper came damp from the press.The British and American forces were coniending for supremacy all along the frontier from the Atlantic to Niagara, and down the eastern coast line.Of the doings of the two armjes a full account is given, the greater portion of two pages being devoted to the subject.There were no Press Associations in those days, and the bulk of the news is given in the form of official despatches and letters.Lor all its information regarding the progress of affairs in Upper Canada, the Herald, for the issue in question at least, had to depend on the enemy.The battle of Fort Erie was fought on August 15th, 1814, and the report oi Briz-General E, P.Gaines to the Hon.John Armstromy, then Secretary of War at Washington, is published in full, The British troops, under Lieut.-Gen.Drum- mond, fought bravely, but were finally overcome by the Americans.While the despatch does not admit the fact it is apparent between the lines that the British took a lot of beating.Alongside this ix a copy of a letter written for the Baltimore Patriot, describing the rapture of Washinzten on August 24th.When it was found that the British were advancing the public officers removed all their hooks and papers and many citizens left the city bag and baggage.Put little resistance was offercd to the capture of the capital, the garrison quitting it after firing a fex shots, and retreating 10 Baltimore.Advices of & week later state that the officers of the Governmmeat had resumed their duties, and that private property was being scrupulously respect.cd.President James Madison's preda- mation, bewaiiing (he capture of the cily and berating the general actions of the British forces, is also here printed.In addition ore orders from the -Com- mander in Chief at New York, calling for the organization of a corps oi 1000 or 2000 men, for three month's service.The uniform *will Le provided by the corps, plain and cheap,\u201d Citizens \u2018\u2018possessed of cannon, pistols, broadswords, and «other military articles which are not wanted for their own private use\u201d are asked to scll them for the use of the army.The despatches fro:n towns and cities along the coast are gloomy and fearful, apd a letter from Portland, Me., tells of the blowing-up of the U.S.ship Adams.Mcanwhiic the war had come c¢lnse to Montreal.Major-General Brisbane advanced as far as Plattsburg with an army of 5,000 men simultaneously with the sailing of a small fleet of à >urteen vessels into the Amcrican watara of Lake Champlain.There was a naval engagement in Piattsburg Bay on September 11th, in wrich the Americans, who had twenty boats were victorioas.The paper gees on to state that \"candor must compel everyone to Confess that the result of the late operations has fallen far short of even moderate expectations.The fate of the flotilla is lamentable, Vecause accideat was the causé of its destruction.\u201d Detaled accounts from various sources dre given of this action, and the General Crders highly complim=1ting the troops on their courage are printed.Touching affairs in the West the papers say hriefly No intelligence from Nia- gra.\u201d The latest news from London is three months old, lt tells of the reception by the R.C.Bishop of London, of a letter from the Pope, approving of the Catholic Relief Bill and the veto proposed to be given to the King in the appointment of Lishops and deans, and of the control and inspection of correspondence between Roman Catholics and the Holy See.The executionof a young man of 23 for forgery is recorded with an amount of pious moralizing that would be laughed at now.The paragraph ends with the remark: \u2018\u2018His disposition was generous and affectionate.May his awful dissolution be a lasting example!\u201d There are despatches from Kingstown, Jamaica, dated June 20.The only \u201c\u2019local\u2019\u2019 in the paper is a short account of the annual show of grapes and melons by the Montreal Florists Society, when prizes were taken by R.Cleghorn ant John Molson, and a list of sentences passed in the Court of King's Bench.One of these was a capital one for rape.The advertising columns were .11 patronised, and are not the least interesting part.The commissioners \u2018for removing the old walls and fortifications which surround the city of Montreal\u201d give notice that they will sell certain lots of land \u201con the northwest side of the city of Montreal,\u201d that is, between St.James Street and Fortification Lane! It sounds almost as strange to read that \u201cMrs.and Mr.Holland have opened a boarding and day school on St.Jacques Street for the Tuition of Younzy Ladies.\u201d The branches taught were needle-work, English grammar, writing, arithmetic, nu.sic and singing\u2014rather different from the \u2018curriculum of the modern \u201c\u2018\u2018sweet-girl- graduates.\u201d The sailing of the Swiftsure for William Henry (Sorel) Three Rivers and Quebec appears to have been ence a week, and the cabin fare to the Ancient Capital was £2.10s.Passengers for William Henry and Three Rivers are informed that they will not be entitled to choose berths until passengers for Quebec or Montreal, as the case may be, have made their choice.Sick persens cannot \u2018be taken as passengers, gentlemen's servants can weither eat nor sleep in the cabin, but will ba made as comiortable as circumstances will admit, and freight rates are the same for a long or short distance, Advertisements of goods are generally preceded by the statement \u2018just received from London.\u201d There seems to # ive been a good deal of cargo stolen from the wharf to judge by the \u201cmissing\u201d notices, Taken altogether this waif from the bast is curious and instructive, It brines back with a strange vividness a period of Canadian history which is seldom thought of, and of occurences in the War of 1812, which were once as tresh to newspaper readers as the burial of the late Premier is to-day to Canadiana, _ Ladies clean your kid gloves with Jo hine Glove Cleaner, for sale only by John urphy and Co.Headquarters for dressed and undressed kid gloves in all the most desirable shades.Gloves fitted to and warranted, © thehand Jas.A.Ogilvy à We have laid out a few lines to clear.Curtains, at Half Price.Telephone S223, (0.5 Advertisement, JANUARY CLEARING SALE\u2014Linens and House Fumishings, During this month all Goods not specially reduced will bear a discount of 10 Percent, First line\u2014The balance of our stock of Seconds ins, i izes, ir origi ralue.Napkins, in 3-1 and 7-8 sizes, at half tneir original va Second Line\u2014A lot of Colored Quilts, worth from $1.40 to $4.00, for $1.00 to $2.50, Third Line\u2014A Lot of Cream and Natural Table Cloths, 6-4 x 74, 7-4 x 84, 8-4 x 10-4 sizes, To be Cleared at Wholesale Prices.Table Cloths\u2014Marked 25 percent less than regular prices, and subject to 10 percent, oft, i ui j t.off.Sheetings, Quilts, Blankets\u2014Subject to 10 percent.Irish Point Sash Nets and Curtains, 20 Percent.off.À few Pairs of Nottingham Lacy Colored Madras Curtain Materials, 50 Percent.off, For the January Cheap Sale Bargains Visit Jas.A.Ogilvy & Sons THE FAMILY LINEN AND DRAPERY WAREHOUSE, 203 to 207 ST.ANTOINE STREET.144 to 150 MOUNTAIN STREET.Furniture On all sales over 85.00.month of January only.AT A STRAIGHT 20 percent ron cash 2 Compare our net prices.;

but, on Friday last, the \u2018\u2018ras- caliy perfidy\u201d of each was made apparent.Both had sued the young lady for special privileges and both had been promised in the affirmative.When the news of his friend\u2019s broken promise reached him, lover No.1 sought him and after an hour's search found him in the Windsor rotunda.Said No.1 to No.2: \u201cYou're a liar, sir, and a rascal, and I mean to punch your head.\u201d No.2 replied in language not quite printable and à fisticuff encounter was only avoided by friends who advised caution until they were out of sight.An adjournment was at once made to a private room in a St.Urbain Street saloon, and here the two erstwhile bosom friends continued their quarrel.It was a difficult position for the two who had accompanied them, for they, too, were intimate friends of either.After a lengthy war of words No.1 slapped No.2 across the mouth with his gloves, asking at the same moment: \u2018Now, will you fight ?\u201d \u2018* Yes,\u201d was the reply, \u2018\u2018 and with pistols too.tany hour and place our friends may arrange.Good night,\u201d and he bolted.On Sunday the two friends, each having previously to second one of the principals, met and arranged the fight.They called in a third man who agreed to referee.¢ They'll never fight,\u201d was the verdict of the three, but they were wrong.On Sunday the two seconds were called together by Principal No.1, who said: ** Now, look here, you fellows, I'm going to give that man (he didu\u2019t say man) a good geare (with several adjectives before the good\u201d) but I dont want to kill him andl don\u2019t propose to take any chances on being killed myself.Can\u2019t you put blank cartridges in the pistols?\u201d A roar of laughter greeted the request and all thought it a great joke.It wus agreed upon, °° On Monday the dramatic editor of the Herald wus telephoned to and asked \u201cSay, (you know who's speaking) where can we get some blank cartridges.Like those they shot with in \u2018\u2018Gordon\u2019s Relief,\u201d you know?\u2019 He was told where they could be got and evidently he succeeded in getting them, On Mouday No.2 sought his second apd said : \u201cBy George, you fellows musn\u2019t let us fight.It would be awful.\u201d The second thereupon told him that if he would promise not to say a word he would put blank cartridges in the pistols and then No.1 would get u good scare but would not be hurt.He was overjoyed and at once fell in with the idea.Sharp on time on New Year's morn two cabs made their way up the rocky road till the horses could go no farther.Two men alighted trom each and slowly elimbed the hill till the plateau was reached.The referee was already un hand.0! thow cold the morning, and | ow nearly bursting with laughter the master of ceremonies was as he commanded «a :h principal to strip to his shirt and trousers.Pulling his second to one side No.2 said: \u201cIsw\u2019t \u2014\u2014 brave.He's is thinking at this minute that in a moment one of us may be dead and yet he shows no sign of fear.Did you ever see such nerve.1 wouldn't like to tight with him in earnest.I'd be shivering like a leaf if I didn\u2019t know those guns contained no bullets.\u201d While this conversation was going on No.1, who, it will be remembered, knew that the referee was in the secret, got him and his second twenty yards away, and shaking till his teeth chattered with cold he said .\u2018Any one that tells me that \u2014\u2014 hasn't got sufficient grit to carry out any duel that France ever knew, is a fool.He doesn\u2019t know the bullets are out and he\u2019s as cool as a cucumber.No wonder he was cool for it was \u2018way down below zero.\u201d \u201cGet ready, gentlemen, stand back to back, walk twenty paces.After one, two, three, fire, you fire.\u201d The two men glanced not into each others eves.Had they it would probably have ended the fight for each wanted to laugh, oh, so badly, \u201cBrave fellow\u201d said No 1 to himself.Splendid grit, PH congratulate him afterwards\u201d thought the other.Back to back\u2014twenty\u2019paces slowly paced ~-one, TWO, THREL, FIRE! Bang! Hardly could they see each other for smoke, A moment after they shook hands and then hustled on their clothes.All five bundled into one cab\u2014they wouldn\u2019t be separated.The referee invited them to breakfast, and as they sat round 4 tuble on which were all the good things the Stanley could provide, No.1 said: \u201cI don\u2019t like cocktails without a cherry.\u201d And the referee remarked: \u201cNot as well as you like a pistol without a bullet.\u201d \u2018Did he know ?\u201d said No.2, \u201cCertainly,\u201d said No.L.\u201cGet out.\u201d \u201cSfact.\u201d \u201cShake.\u201d \u201cYou can have her.\u201d No.2say\u2019s he'll take his friend at his word.TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS.Lord Houghton, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, has ordered the release of Thomas

hundred workingmen, headed by contractor Qliver Durocher and Labor Advocate R.Ouimet, entered the City Hall yesterday and demanded to be shown either Mayor Villeneuve or Allerman Prefontaine.Both of these gentlemen, they Were told, were absent in Quebec.A Herald reporter asked them on what subject they had come to talk to the Mayor or the Chairman of the Road Committee.They replied that they had been employed some time ago on the construction of a sewer on Mount Royal Avenue by à sub-committee of the roads, consisting of Ald.Reneault and Grothe, who had undertuken te supply them with work.A few days ago Mr.Durocher received from the Road Department a notarial protest ordering bim to suspend work on he sewer, as Ald.Reneault and Grothe had not the requisite authority to have the sewer constructed.The men waited till Acting-Mayor Lyall arrived, but he, of course, could do nothing for them under the circumstances, and he told them so, He sympathized with them because of their suffering through lack of work, but reminded them that the city had done all it could for them at present.Every one of them could obtain employment on piece work in breaking stones in front of the Montreal College or on Parthenais, (a voice: \u201cI should like to see myself breaking stones !\u201d) As to the reason why work on the sewer had been stopped, he knew nothing about it, but would send for the City Surveyor, who would no doubt explain it.Mr.St.George, on being sent for, stated that the work on the sewer had been gone on with without authorization from the Road Committee.Ald.Reneault and Grothe had not yet reported to that Committee, and they had no right to give orders for the work to go on.It was the proprietors who would have to pay for the sewer, and they had not been consulted at all.They might as well go and build a house for himself, and then charge lim with the cost.When the Road Committee met and arranged with the proprietors the work would be proceeded with.Mr.Campeau, foreman, stated that all the men who had been employed upon the excavation for the sewer were fathers of families.They were quiet and orderly just now, but he could not guarantee that they would remain so if they were obliged to pass the winter without work.Acting-Mayor Lyall assured them that he would lay their case before the Road Committee at its next meeting, He would endeavor to have a meeting called as soon possible.NEW WORLDS TG CONQUER.Croker Entering Horses for the English Race Meeting, London, Jan.{4.\u2014Mr.Richard Croker, of New York, has entered

Mr.Desmarais.They presented an address which was read by Councillor Ouellette, and Mayor Belanger also assisted at the ceremony.The addresses were accompanied by the presentation to the Chief of a gold headed walking cane and a gold badge.Speeches were made by the mayor and Mr.Desmarais, and a merrymaking which followed was kept up till nearly 3 o\u2019clock in the morning.The members of the police and fire department of St, Henri also presented Chief Massey with their best wishes for a prosperous New Year, emphasized by a present of silver plate.Two addresses were read by the Assistant Chief Charles Laparee, and Mr.Massey in his most genial manner thanked those present for thew kindness and hoped that the whole force would be encouraged by the success of the past to renewed efforts during 1895.The fire and policemen, with the Chief at their head, then betook themselves to the house of Dr.Bernard, the Chairman of the Fire Committee, who gave them a cordial reception, and all the best wishes of the season were exchanged.They then returned to Chief Massey\u2019s house where the traditional \u201c\u2018reveillon\u201d was held.There were no alarms, false or otherwise, so that the whole party enjoyed themselves till the small hours of the worning.The Other Quite Happy\u2014The Queen's Two Managers Each in Possession.HE KEYS of the Queen\u2019s Hotel are the cause of some little trouble in that popular hostelry just now.Mr.E M.Matthews, who up to the 3lst December was the manager, has the kecp them for a while.At present there are two managers, one of whom is not considered such by the directors, but who hoids the fort by virtue of his possession of the } The other is keys.Mr.G.B.Frazer-Crierie, who has become well-known as the chiet clerk of the hotel, and who is acting as manager since the beginning of the year.He has not gov the keys, and it does not look as if he wus going to get them in a hurry.\u2018ihe reasons for the deadlock may be put in a nutshell.When Mr.George Carslake entered the Queens he made a twelve: month contract with all the employees.On the property being taken over by his creditors it was understood that they became responsible for the fulfilment ot the contract.In order to start straight the new proprietors dismissed the employees ou the morning they entered into possession of the premises, and re-engaged them in the afternoon.Then on the last day of the old year, as already reported in the Herald, the directors made a change in the management.When some of them were scen by a Herald representative to-day they denied that a successor to Mr.Matthews had been appointed, Mr.Frazer-Crierie only acting temporarily.Mr.Matthews will contest the right of the Board to dismiss him, and contends that he is justified in holding the keys.Anyhow it 1s a good maxim that possession is nine points of the law.Meanwhile there is a considerable spice of humor in the situation.The two managers are on the best of terms.Mr.Matthews comes down in the morning and says: \u2018Good morning, Mr.Manager,\u201d and Mr.Crierie responds, \u2018How do you do, Mr.Manager.\u201d Then they go and have a Caledonia, and discuss the news of the day together.The employees recognize both ot them, in evident doubt as to which is actually their chief.Meeting Mr.Crierie on the stairs they address him as \u201cMr.Manager,\u201d and seeing Mr.Matthews in the hall within a couple of minutes they speak to him also as ** Mr.Manager.\u201d \u2018ihe colored porters are especially obsequious to the dual management.Mr.Crierie looks after the cash ond the books as usual, and keys, and intends to! periorins the duties of manager as far as he can, but this does not alter the fact that the real insignia of utlice, the keys, are still with the old manager.The further developments of the affair are being awaited with interest by the friends of both parties.Unless a settlement is reached the matter will undoubtedly come before the civil courts.A CONSEQUENCE OF HARD TIMES, Great Falling ot iu the Building of Locomotives and (ars.New York, Jan.4\u2014The Railroad Gazette, to-day will say: \u2018'Locomotive building is shown to have iallen off tremendously in the past year according to re ports of the outputs of the various contracting works.The decrease in the number built is fully, two-thirds as compared with the previous year.Reports from thirteen companies make the total 695 locomotives for 16904, against 2001 locomotives built in 1893.Three companies building nearly 90 locomotives in 1893 did mot turn out a single new lo- comutive in 1894.No one company built haif as many locomotives in 1894 as in 1803.And only the smaller builders were able to keep within a third oi the output recorded for the latter year.It need hardly be added that these figures are unprecedented in locomotive building in the Uniteä States.It is to he noted that over 80 locomotives of the total number built in 1894 were built for export.The record of the car builders is\u201d even worse that that of the locomotive builders.In 1894 only 27 companies have reported as having built any freight cars, the output 1803, 51,216 freight cars were built by 43 companies.There were lifteen important car-building companies which did not turn out a single car in 1804, ten of these having built about 3,000 freight cars and over 300 passenger cars in 1893.As to passenger cars, the returns show that 150 cars were built by cight companies, against 1900 built in 1893 by fourtoen companies.In 1892 over 93,- 000 freight cars were built by eighteen companies in the United States; in 1801 the figures were over 95,000 cars by fiity companies, and in 1890 over 103,000 cars were built.Found Dead

CHARGES AGAINST TWO ALDIR.MEN WERE PROVEN, Everett Also Found Guilty of Corruype tion-Two Arrests Made.Toronto, Jan.4\u2014Judge MacDougall>s report on the recent investigation has been made public, It is very exhaustive, The judge mentions all the aldermen and others whose names have figured in the investigation.Speaking of K.J.Llem- ing, who was mayor during 1433 and 1893, when the Guelich tenders and tho change in the Street Railway agreement were up, the judge says that no evidence was ofiered t, show that he had been in any way infiuenced in his course of action by other than proper motives.Of Ald, Hallam, the judge says that his conduct was -haracterized by impropticty when he asked for sharey in the steck ot the Street Railway syne dicate while the franchise was pending, Regarding Mr.H, A, Everett, vice president of the Street Railway Company, who is at present out of the country, the judge tinds that on two occasions that gentleman had been wilfully and knowingly guilty of corruption, in the first instance by advancing $10,600 on behalf of the late G, wv.Kiely and himself to ex-Ald.Hewitt, when the latter was in the Council, the money being advanced on a practically worthless security, and the real object of ine transaction being to secure Hewitts vote and influence in the Courcil.the second occasion was in advancing $7,000 to J.J.Coleman, knowing the same was to be expended for corrupt purposes.Coming to the case of the aldermen, he found the charge of corruption proven against ex-Ald.Hewitt And ex-ald, Je E.Verral in soliciting a bribe from Otto E.Guellich, of Detroit.The charges of corruption against ex-Ald.Gowanlock and ex-Ald.Small were found by the judge t« be not proven, cach having sworn that he did not receive money in a bribe, and there being no corroborative testimony to show that they were guilty of having done so.The report resulted in the arrest tonight of ex-Ald.J.E.Verral and ex-Ald, John Maloney, on the strength of Judge MacDougall's condemnation of them.They were taken to No.6 police station, both of them being residents in the West End, and allowed bail, There is a warrant out also against ex-Ald.Bailey, which has nct ! yet been executed.Ex-Ald.W.M, Hait, j ex-Ald.Hewitt, and J.J.Coleman, the medium of most of the corrupt offers, are fugitives from justice, DUEL TO THE DEATH.| Two Malian Officers Make Mince Moat of one Another.Nycœ, Jan.4\u2014A desperate duel with sabres and one in marked contrast to those harmless \u201caffaires d\u2019homieur\u201d so frequently indulged in by French peliti- cians and journalists, was fought yesterday between two Italian oflicers, 7To- jani and Vergori, near \u2018the French frontier.The fight lasted an hour and ai- forded as scientifig an exposition oi swordsmanship as has probably ever been witnessed between rival combatants.Both men were very evenly matched, Vergori seemed to be, perhaps, somewhat the better master of his weapon and inflicted many painfui wounds.upon his adversary, remaining himself for a long time practically unscathed.Towards the last both were very much exhausted from exertien and loss of blood.Vergori was looked upon by the seconds as the probable winner, his wounds being less severe than those of his adversary, when sufdenly by a final effort Tojani broke through his guard and inflicted a cut on the right side of Vergori\u2019s neck, which served the carotid artery, causing death, Tojani was so severely wounded during the progress of the fight that he is not expected to survive.(Jealousy) was the pitme cause of the quarrel.IMPROVING LIVERPOOL\u2019S DOCKS, Liverpool, Jan.4.\u2014At a meeting yesterday of the Mersey Dock Board, a scheme was submitted to deepen the River Mersey and strengthen the wharves so

lately by the compliments of a critic who thought that he was specially qualified for sacerdotal parts.But thai high praise carried with it a certain danger.He opened the daily papers now in terror of finding a letter sigûc d \u2018'A Staunch Puritan\u2019® denouncing priest- craît on the stage.They had probably noticed a correspondence in the columns oi the Times, started by somebody who was alarmed by the, tendencies of the modern society play.One of the gentlemen who had been writing to the Times Was very severe on actors for pretending \u2018to lave a serious runpose, and; he had been holding forth upon that theme with au eloquence and a fervour.worthy, of the immortal Pickwick, 1t appeared that the actor\u2019s proper business was to tickle that oracle after dinner, but for the actor in kis capi ity as inte).tovr of the dramatist to cive a new poiit to any lesson in life was a piece of intolerable presumption.There was a dramatic author of some slight repute who told them that they should find sermons in stones, but they must not expect them from actors.Indeed he learnt from one of those letters in the \u2018limes that the music hall a3 the placg tor thinking men, who already knew everything the theatre could teach them.Music halls were very popular, and nobody with any sense of humor needed to be told why.But that did not prove thatthe artistic conditions of the theatre were identical.Canon Barnett, Mr.5.Wallace, M.P,, and the County Councillors for Limehouse have issued an appeal tor £20,000 in order to establish in that part of East London an institution \u2018which shall have for its central point a tree public library, and shall at the same time possess à Jlecture-hail for University extension teaching and class-room for technical instruction, so that books, lectures, and classes may all be united under municipal control.This attempt to combine educational facilities is, they \u2018believe, a mew departure, so tar at least as London is concerned.Local control will give the residents of Limehouse a living interest in the welfare of the institution, the provision of class-rooms will entitie them them to apply for grants from the

building fund of Al Souls\u2019 Church and Presbytery, and for selling tickets in a Jottery not authorized by Act of Parliament; and Patrick Manley, a county councillor, was also summoned for selling a ticket in such lottery.The chief con- &table said that the prosecution was taken on the advice of the solicitor to the Treasury.Evidence was given that \u2018thousands of books containing sixpenny tickets had been sant all over the country, a large number of prizes hin ofier- ed.Mr, Batten, who appeared for the defence, pleaded \u201cGuilty\u201d in both cases, but said Canom Moser thought if , the draw was conducted on the Art Union planit was legal.\u2018lhe chairman said there was no doubt the law had been broken at sales for excellent objects, it, as proposed, the sixpences were return.od and the draw stopped, there woulil Me no conviction but the Court costs would have to be paid.Sir Edmund Lechmere, Bart., M.P.for the Evesham Division of Worcestershire, died suddenly on the 14th Dec, at Per- shore when about to address a meeting of his constituents.He was in his 63th year.Timothy T.McCarthy, whose case was sent up to the Royal Humane Society by Admiral Seymour, Admiral Superintendent of Naval Reserves, has been awarded the Royal Humane Society\u2019s medal for saving three men off Newhaven on Oct.21, when the Little Alice, in making for th: harbor in a heavy sea, struck about 100 yards from the shore, The master and pone of the men were washed overboard, twice as heavy on Irish assessments.Ire- j land, he said, had not so great a need of a navy as England had.Anything that | closed the ports of the world to Engiand would be an advantage te Ireland, because, owing to her proximity to E ng- land, she could send food to her.À reasonable way of settling Ireland's contribution would be to estimate what proportion of the material revenue she should pay, and let her pay that, adjusted from time to time according to circumstances, A fresh grievance has Wien discovercd by the Parnellites, It is made the suiject of a bitter complaint that thre War Office arc putting serious obstructions in the | way of the establishment by a company ! of a factory for the manufacture oi war | explosives at Arklow.The people there \u2018have been led to expect a considerabie amount of employment.The military authorities, it is said, have threatened to have no further dealings with the company if they carry out the project.lhe country is told to regard the attitude of the authorities as a further proof that, whepieven any gain, to Ixcland jnvotves a possible loss to England, the Government, whether friendly or untriendly, is : sure to take the side of England.1t is understood that the preparation of the new Irish Land Bill has Leen the principal business cn which Mr, Morley has been engaged during his stay in Dublin.Up to the proscnt there has been no visible sign of a disposition on the part of landowners to consent to a come promise.While meetings of tenant farmers have been helt in ulster to urge the adoption of a bill on the basis of the report of Mr, Morley\u2019x comn'ittee, various meetings have bren held at which local branches of the Landowners' Convention have passed resolutions protestifiz against the recommen\u2019gtions of the report.One of these was held in Omagh on the 15th i Dec., Lord Belmore being in the chair.\" The Duke of Abercorn, who had been anxious to attend the meeting, was prevented from doing so by illness.At the Cork Board of Guardians, on the 20th Dec., the relieving officer, 0\u2019Sullivan, reported that Michael Magner and eight sub-tenants had during the weck been evicted by the War Office from their houses ana land at Ballincollig, As tre usual legal notice had .t heen served apn hun, he was not presear at the pra.ceedings.My, U'Connell Was very serry to see that the Government had carried out their threat, and that they refused to accept the tenants\u2019 very reasonable offer to submit the dispute to arbitration.Mr.Ahern cousidered it was a bad precedent for the Govermnent to be laying down, especially a Government pledged to bring in an Evicted Tenants\u2019 Bill in the next session of Parliament.It was very extraordinary that the Government shoull have disregarded the resolution passed by that board upon the subject, and that they should have insisted upon getting their pound of fiesh.\u2018Lhe chairman stopped further discussion as he considered it was outside the business of the board.Speaking at the close of the session of the Munster Dairy School and Agricultural Institute, Mr.R.U.Penrose-Fitzgerald, M.P., expressed a strong hope that the Government would do more fcr techniul education in Ireland than they bad ten doing.In England the technial ed: C1- tion grants amounted to £80,250; in a poor country like Denmark it was £35,- 102; and in Ireland it was only £9,511.The £120,000 taken from the pockets of the lrish spirit-drinkers to pay for the \u2018technical education of English laborers would be sure to be claimed back.SCOTLAND.Mr.Bryce, president of the Board, of Trade, on the 17th Dec.addrebsed a meeting of his constituents at Aberdeen.After referring to the gravity of the Armenian question, he defended the Irish policy, of the Government; and wikh regard to disestablishment, he said the real question simply was, \u2018What was the best thing to be done for the people of Scotland in the new conditions which the last two centuries have \u2018brought about?\u201d He denied that the question of the House of Lords had been wantonly raised by the Lib>ral party.The only practical way of dealing with the question at the present time was to clip the wings of the Lords by reducing their power of rejection.THE COLONIES.Mr.Cecil Rhodes has aldressel a letter to the Under-Secretary ior the Colonies, stating that there is no foundation for various statements recefved by the Colonial Jffice to the effect that he is desirrus of introducing liquor into Khama\u2019s country, He is totally opposed to the introduction of liquor into any native territory, and he cites his policy in the chartered territories, in Pondo- land, the Transkei ani at numberley as proof.Mr.Euxton, in reply, says that the Colonial Oflice never i one moment believed in the truth of the allegations referred to by Mr.Rhodes, being aware of his opinions ard policy on the subject.He hopes Mr.Rhodes\u2019s letter will sct at rest all misunderstanding.Mr.Rhodes recently received a deputation from the committee of the aporigines Protection Society, who waited on him to protest against certain of the provisions of the Glen Grey Act, gassed in the last session of the Cape Parliament, He said the fears of the society were groundless.Every precaution haf! been taken to protect the natives; their lands had been preserved to them for ever, He wished to protect ie natives, who were the best material in we country for the purposes of labor.Mr.M.M, Stanley, in a letter to the Times eulogizes the patriotic action of the late Sir W.Llackinmon and Mr, Bruce in British East Africa, and concludes by asking if any one supposes that the administration of Uganda and British East Africa can be more economically condu-tel by the Government than by the company.\u2019'We shall soon discover,\u201d he says, '*the difierence in the expenditure, and regreu that we did aot MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1895.appreciate the economic advantage oi supporting the Chartered Company.» Mr, Justice Foster has resigned his position as Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales.He will be suc ceeded by the Hon.G.B.Simpson, the Attorney-General, whose place in the Ministry will be filled by J.d.Want, a previous Attorney-General, FOREIGN.An Tmpression has been produced by the dexterously-worded ports which have come from Rome that the proposals offered by the present Pope to the Orthodox Greek Church were occasioned by a movement in the Orthodox Church towards Rome.The tendency is, in fact, in quite the opposite direction.A remarkable proof of this is found in the fact that recently almost all the, congregations of the Uniate Oriental or Catholic Church settled in America have joined en masse the Greek Orthodox Church in that country, and so shaken off their allegiance to Rome.The infallibility of the Pope, proclaimed at the Vatican Council, hay dug another gulf of separation between the Orthodox and the Roman Catholic Church, and the old grounds of ditference remain untouched.The idea of a reunion, or even a rapprochement, of these Churches, on the terms offered by the Pope is preposterous, as every one Knows who is acquainted with the literature evoked in Russia and other Eastern countries by the recent conferenc& at Rome and proposals of the Pope.\" The United States Minister ip Con stantinople, with regard to the exjlora- tion of the ruins of Niffer, near ancient Babylon, reported recently that the work is undertakon at the Cost of an association in Phiadelphia, which was formed in 1843 and is called the \u2018Be by- lon Exploration Fund.\u201d Some 200 Arabs are constanily employed under the direction of Dr.Peters, of ihe Uni- j wersity of Philadelphia, and the Minister says that, \u2018\u2018in the number of tablets, brick, imscribed vases, and in the value of cuneiform tents found, this Ame erican enterprise rivals, if it does not excel, the explorations of Layard at Nineveh and Rassam\u2019s excavations at Abt Habba\u201d?Dr.Hilpricht, als> of the University of Pennsylvania, who was originally connected with the cxplora- tion, remains in Constantinople at the rejuest of the Turkish Government, to transite the inscriptions) end arrange the tablets and other objects excavated, Many tons of these, including tablets, vases, inscribed brick and sarcophagi, have arrived at the Constantinople Museum, ard @he Sultan has promised that *ennsylvonia shall receive one oi ail duplicate antiques.So tar, 20,000 tab- feta of zlay and stone have \u2018teen discovered, on which are inscribed promises to pay, deeds, contracts, and other ree cords of public and private events \u2018About 150 Hebrew, Mandic, Arab and Syrian inscribed bowls have been aug up.These are more than ail ule nm .seums in the world possessed hefore, They have also found hundreds of Bahylonian seal cylinders.about 1,000 vases of alabaster, marble, and other stone have been discovered, with votive ofierings of lapis lazuli, magnesite, and agate.glany hundred vases, toys, weapons, isistru- ments and houschold objects mn iron, bronze and clay, were discovered.\u201d The temple of Bel is being dug out, and the Minister says that when \u2018inished, it will be the first temple of Bel ever systematically excavated.The excavation was carried down 42 feet below the foundation of the immense temple, MUSICAL MATTERS.What i$ a musician?It seems to me this is not an altogether uninic esting question with which to begin the New Year nor yet is its answer as idiotically simple as at first sight would appear.The dictionary gives the definition of the word as \u2018\u2019one skilled in the produc- tien of music,\u201d and although rot perhaps exact it is a very satistactory explanation of the term.* + =» My reason for raising the question is that any musicians have exaggerated and yet limited views of what 1t means to be a musician.\u2018There are those even in our city, who, with natural gifts that ought to teach them better things raain- tain only those can be called n-usicians who are gifted with that phenomenal insight by which they can feel a sound, as an ordinary individual can see and recognize a color, and who can acmbine, contrast, biend and manipulate them to express the inspirations and emotions of their gifted temperaments, Such a view is narrow and utterly \u2018nadequate to embrace the music producing and music loving fraternity.- * * What, may it be asked would be the earthy use of such a one composing music, if there were no musicians to interpret it, and where would be the necessity for its interpretation if there were none to be amused and delighted by it.That such a one is exclusively a \u2018composer\u2019 cannot be denied out that he is exclusively a **musician\u201d is ridiculous in the extreme.* * * There are hosts of people who can produce music either vocal cr instrumental, that could ueither compose 1t nor analyse it.Yet gitted artists can feel the composers intentions «nd can give them an interpretation that would often wake the composer stare, at the beauties of his own ideas, Take as an instance the company now resident at the Opera Francais, scme of whom have a repertoire of over 100 operatic roles, or the excellent orchestra each member of which has skill in expressing and interpreting tue individual elements that serve to inake the artistic idea cognate, I heard of B mbUsician in high standing in the city the other .uy who denied such artists as Irene Pevery for example to be musicians.Such ideas however, usually grow out of that absurd ieeling of self inflation that makes such artists act as though they arrogated to thems.pcives all the musical knowledge in existence.1 have met many inusicians and gifted ones too, possessed of the most extraordinary and surpassing conceit, Teachers who villified all others, singers who held all beauty to be crystalized in their own vocal chord: or conductors who held that the forces they led were composed of so many machines, repeating parrot-like or responding automatically to the composer\u2019s intentions and their exposition of them.* «+ » But where, may it be asked, does this leave the hosts of people who atic moved and touched by music, although they may not be skillful in producing 1t, and this I think is the key of tae whole question.The musical faculty that is to say the chords of the aesthetic nature that is touched by music in its various combinations is the tming that proclaims the musician.The conception is there, it may be weak in its power to create, it may be unskillful in 1ts fac.uity to express but it has at least its attributes whereby it can respond to the musical conception and appreciate the vaiue of the musical production, (using the word \u2018\u2018appreciate\u2019\u2019 in its tull- est sense) and that is my idea of à musician.À composer an artist, an ame.teur and each one a musician, In short the musical faculty is an internal at- tribute and net pecssarily exclusively : A the technical or mechanizal taulity to express it.The preduction of Opera Francais \u201cFaust\u201d at the was the event ol the early in the week to write of it in this column and the same remark applies to Mr.Walker\u2019s concert.* * - The lot of the musical critic is not fiways a bed of roses.I know that too often they are very s>vere and are apt to measure the standards ot art by their own personal likes and dislikes anu so frequently deserve all they get.On the other hand when a critic really does try honestly to do his daty by the art he represents, his lot 18 olten a hard one.It is al Dbeautitul so long as he has a good word of praise for every one and is stroking cach one the right way, but when the time comes that in the interests of art it is necessary for him to say something that intringes on somebody\u2019s musical corns, or hands it desirable to c-mmeat unlavorably on another\u2019s surpassing ambition, (unhacked by correspondingly surpassing ability) then to use an expressive and popular phrase, \u2018the fat is in the tire\u2019\u2019 and he is the \u2018subject of anathema extraordin- Ary.\u2018 + + *#* At such moments the critic conscious of rersonal rectitude leans upon th shoulders of his muse, as it were, a à n weeps tears of rage and bitterp~®s when they are dried proceeds ;» Write an \u2018explanation to appes-~ the injured artist, which is te- \u201811S worse than the original ip ¢«3 condemnatory palliation, and serve him right.There is so much criticism that is utterly worthless and injurious and blased that the artists often fail to appreciate sucly as 1s wholesome and honest, and not &clivered in a spirit of antagonism or malice.It is tha old story, an individual wil¥ thump Lis Lpee and laugh till the tears roll down his cheeks when some one else is getting roasted; but when it comes home, oh miy!\u2014he then develops the disposition of a Malay pirate.= + # If a me=fician has a prayer to breathe for the year we have just entercd upon it is surely that it may Le a better one for art than the past one has been, The rast has been marked by few successes, many failures and very few lasting additions to the art, while several of the notables have been called away to develop their art in a higher sphere.Art, however, depends largely on commerce for its success and nothing helps it like a season of commercial tranquility and prosperity.The two go hand in hand and may be hoped {o be the realization, as they are the outlook ot the present year.HARMONY,

MONTREAL DAILY HEEALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1895.What a remarkable actress Olga Nether ersole is! In such a repertoire as that in which she has bzen seen here this week it is not too much to say that she has no equal.Strong words, indeed, are they not?Yet, nevertheless, in my humble oHnion, quite justified.There are readers, perhaps, who would inunediately re- Ply: \u201cWhat about Bernhardt?\u201d I had not forgotten about Bernhardt.But Woes it not strike you that there is a wide difference between a young actress of say twenty-three o1 four years of age and one who was born in 1844 and whose stage career dates from 1862 ?Truly a.remarkable woman is Sarah Bern- Papal but if we start in to make com- arisons it must be of the two as we find them now and not of the one now and the other as the great French actress was when in the zenith of her fame, she forced the mighty Sardou into the confession that she was the only woman in be world that could interpret his mas- itérpiece.But that was years 220.England has sent to us, in Olga Nether- gle, what Bernhardt was: the greatest stress.Certainly, England has no greater.France lays no claim when Betnhatdt is dethroned and America, the tiome of the stage, is yet content to look bon its actresses with pride, though espectfully declining to name any par- Meular ene as the successor to the .Sarah.+ =» » Olga Nethersple is unlike any actress yo havé yet seen.You cannot write of her as you would of other people simply bitause she is not like anyone else.Montrealers have not yet realized wha is among them but the day will come af that soon when all that I have just ritten will be endorsed by a public whom be- I do mot blame for being slow in jieving all that advance agents say.* * * The New York Clipper remarks that: \u2018Montreal is to have a new theatre to cost about$250,000.It will be situated on St.Catherine Street between Phil- Hps Square and Peel Street and will be in opposition to the Academy.The Clipper is right, but it was the Montreal Herald of about ten days ago that made the first announcement of this important venture.A private letter whicl I received from New York dated Jan.Ist, says: CI tel! vwu, my boy, it will be a beauty.Montreal at pxeseit cannot get certain attractions, whicly would pay handsomely, but the new theatre could hook them all \u2014 that is, all that would think of going out of NewYork.Yow will agree with me that the man asked to take the management is a corker, and just the one to make it go.One of our friends informs me that in reference tothe bir cafe and lunch room in connection with the theatre, that there would not be the slightest difficulty in getting a license.Mind you, it would be no petty fagging beer saloon that would be opened, but a bang up restaurant that would compare to any in New York, though of course not so large.I will let yo.know as soon as the site is determined upon: also full particulars about seati.z capacity, etc.\u201d \u201c % 2» My correspondent is right about the manager being \u2018\u2019a corker.\u201d He is a man who would at once become popular with everyone who niet him, and that in itself goes a long way towards the success of a theatre, J am not at liberty to give his name, but, hope to be at an early date, .So Dutt is not coming.been told yet who is ill.* > * Adelaide Fitz Allen, who is now playing in **I'he Great Brooklyn Handicap\u201d Company, has brought an action against Dentist-Actor John C.Dixon, who says he is the.author of the play \u2018Alma; or At Midnight,\u201d and Lee W.\u2018l'ownsend, to recover $500, which she alleges they fraudulently obtained from her, Her story is that last September, Dixon, wbo was very anxious to produce his play, asked her to assist him.she was introduced to Townsend as a theatrical manager of some experience, Atter some conversation, She, agreed to furnisn $500, on the condition that Dixon should advance a similar amount, 1t \u2026\u2026\u2026 understood that she was to take tne leading part in the play, which \u2018l'ownsend said was to be produced in \u2018tie Star Theatre in October.Meeting Lownsend shortly afterwards, he asked her tor her $50, and she inquired 11 Dixon\u2019s had been paid.luwnsend gave her to understand that he had it, ana then ghe gave him $500.The following day she went to Dixon's flat, in iNew York, and saw from the variety of goods that were being taken in there that they were going to have a merry time, she believes that the two men scnemed to get hold cf her money, which shey have appropriated to their own use, and that they had no intention of producing a play.They have both answered her complaint, dénying the charges oiiraud, but admitting the agreement as to the production of the play.*® ®* * Franklin McLeay was called upon quite We lhaven\u2019t suddenly to play Appius .\u2018audius in Virginius with Wilson Barrett at the American last week, owing co the departure of Austin Melford.Mr, M-Leay is acting the Tetrarch in Claudian this week, Although the major portion of his professional experience has been obtained in England, Mr.McLeay is an American,~\u2014Dramatic Mirror, Fxcuse me, Mr.McLeay is not an American.H& was born in watiord, Un- tario, and received his education at 1o- ronto University.Mr.Mceceay is a Canadian.It 1s strange, is it not, how american papers love to refer tu.theatrical people, oarsmen, prize fighters, skaters and athletes, in general, as Americans?when they are successtul.Mut let failure be the portion of any ot these, and be they born and raised within ono hundred miles of the border they are duhbed as Canadians, 4mr own Ned Hanlin was the great American oars.now he is simply\u2014Hanlan, oi the ex-champion, Among wy letters of the is the following: Sir,\u2014I have long been an advocate of woman\u2019s rights, but | belicve also in men\u2019s rights, 1 notice that .plain women, whose beauty is not suiiiciently distinct 10 bear inspection in natural shinplicity, wear large nats at tne theatre in order to enhance the attraction of their faces.Now, sir, | am one of the men who look best with a hat, for the top of my head would be otherwise bare.it grieves me that 1 should be dc- nied the right to look pretty, when this privilege is accorded to tne women; and I maintain that before women can expect men to accord them suffrage they must acmit men to equal privileges with their sex.! propose that nen should assert their rights, and that every man who its in frent of a woman who wears à large hat at the theatre should put on his hat and refuse to remove it as long as the woman's head is covered.Let us strike for our rights or for equal rights.Then we can all wear hats, and the stage might be elevated twenty feet; or else all could uncover the head and me man behind à woman could sec the Play instead of a hat.Canada, past week LITULFELAR.Quite right, sir.But when a woman says she won't, she won't, and that settles it.You mi®ht just as well try to get the average woman to take off her hat in the theatre as to try and stop nn going out to \u2018\u2019see a man\u2019 between acts.After all, the rights are somewhat equalled you see.LI Another question is re-introduced this week by a letter which I am sorry to say 1s much too long for publication.It is, in effect, a request that I should state my opinion as to whether the gen- itleman should precede the lady on the way down the aisle of a theatre to the seats.My correspondent thinks the lady should go first.I have already given it as my opinion that, by all means, the rentleman should go first.In view of the difierence of opinion I shall be pleased to receive short letters on this subject.\u201c + + \u2018Will Paul Pry please state that the Montreal Orchestral Association is to have its first concert of its second season on January 17th in the Windsor Hall?» writes Fred Haworth, With pleasure.The association is a worthy organiza- \u2018tion and one which I am sure will meet with the support of the public.Its president is W.H.Benyon; leader, Caas.eichling; conductor, Horace W.Reyner, Mus.Bac.A.R.C.N,;, scloists, Carl Wal- ther and Chas, Kelly.* * * Henry Irving and his entire Lyceum Company are hooked to open the 1805-6 season of our Academy of Music.This will be in September next.+ A Mrs.Jennie Kimball is said to have purchased a $1,000 diamond.studded watch for Corinne when she was in Canada recently and the dealer guaranteed to send it to her free of duty.He trusted it tn a special messenger, who handed it over all right.While in Chicago last week there was something wrong with the spring and it was taken to a local jeweler for repairs.A day or two later a customs officer waited on Mrs, Kimball and informed her that the watch was confiscated, * #* + It is announced that this will probably be Denman Thompson's last season on the stage.The veteran actor's place in \u2018The Old Homestead\u201d™ will, in that case, be taken by George Wilson, of the Boston Museum.* + +# An exceedingly pretty little letter from Mrs, Cora Urquhart Potter tells me that she will be in Montreal soon.Her success this season has been exceedingly en- courazing.A splendid repertoire has bien picked out for Montreal.+ +#* 0% Lord and Lady Aberdeen are to give an entertainment for the benefit of the poor children at the Monument National shortly.They have entrusted the arrangement to Edwin Varney, Their Excellencies know when they see a gocd thing.If anybody can make a success out of amateurs Var- ney can, « * x And this reminds me that a new play is being written by two local men for the Players\u2019 Club, It will be staged in the spring and will doubtless add a nice little sum to the Free Coal Fund account.There was no doubt about che ladies of \u201c*A Gaiety Gir'\u201d \u2018ng English, .It is to be hoped lait Wilson Barrett will give us \"Lhe Silver King.\u201d \u2018l'bere is a general request for this great melodrama.* * ~ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.salen?\u2019 asks it the Miss wara2r who was with \u201cfA Gaiety Girl\u201d is any rcla- tion to Mrs.Neil warnery Miss Warner and Mrs, Neil Warner are one and the same, \u2018\u201c\u201cLayor\u201d asks if the history ct the Theatre Royal as qvritten dy paul Fry has ever been, published 1 pamphlet form or elsewhere than in the reraid, No.\u201c*P, J.M.\u2019 asks it Florence wrote \u2018\u201cIhe Captain\u2019s Mate; her age, and is she married?No, she is not the authoress.i don\u2019t «now her age, She is married
