[" gy = \"4 MORNING EDITION: SILVERWARE A Hearing this Trade-Mark osm 1 MOLOH 10} Is Acknowledged as the Best Made EIGHTY-EIGHTH YEAR NO, 215, ARMERIAH ATROCITIES DISCUSSED BY A CANADIAN PROFESSOR FROM BEYROUT.PR.MARRIS GRAHAM, FORMERLY ar OTTAWA, IN TOWN.The Only Means of Preventing Farther Outrages Will be to Place Armenia Under (he Control of the Great Powers Armenia, that portion of Turkey where prodigality and avarice so recently created such frighiful atrocities, was described in new and interesting style to à Herald reporter last evening by Dr.Harris Graham, a clever young Canadian, who ls now protessor of pathology at Beyrout University, Syria.The doctor was In a peaceful holiday mood when seen, and secmed to shrink from even a suggestion of the awful Armenian story, where \u201call pity was choked by the custom of fell deeds.\u201d In short, the doctor had just returned from a visit to his old home in Ottawa, where his mother lives, and where his brother conducts an extensive husiness in the Baldwin lron Works.\u201chere I live in Turkey,\u201d said the doctor, \u2018all 1s peace, as our country is Levanon.You Know Lebanon, where the great religious revoit took place in 1862, when the Mohammedans stormed with th ir b.gotry and intolerance.That storm has made the educational facilities invogue to-day, for our district has been controlled Inairectly by Britain, France ald Germany every since, as the Sultan appoint a Christian Governor-Gen- eral each year, subject to the wishes of these three great powers.But Armenia is next to us, and it is ruled byTurkey absolutely, whère the Government is rotten.For instance, EF had a friend Lieu- tenant-Governor of a province in Armenia, who confessed to have paid £250 for a job which commanded a salary of £200.\u201cThere are two sides to these atrocities.There is in existence there a society known as the Armenian Patriotic Association.They distributed seditious papers and pamphlets among the Armenians urging them to revolt against the Turks.Many of the ringleaders in this society were men who hau visited America, and who were practically cheap notoriety hunters.This society caused the massacre.The Armenians are a clever and wonderful people, and the Turks fear them.The Minister of Finance in Turkey is an Armenian, but they want government of the Lebanon kind.This is all that will save further disaster there and cause other nations to.interfere, as they did in 1862.\u201d Then the -Doctor cited an instance of villainy which took place only last inonth.When one of the prominent Armenians refused to join this patriotie association ne was murdered.Travelling in the interior of Turkey meant now trifling with death.Cir- caspian robbers were on every hand, and hydra-headed treason reared its unblushing front everywhere.The doctor then changed the subject and spoke.modestly of his career.He atiended Toronto University, and afterwards went to Berlin, Gerrnany, where he took degrees to fit him for a professor\u2019s chair at Beyrout.They had 300 students at his college, and their course, he considered, much harder than that of any Canadian medical college.Egyptian students thronged their schools.\u2018He said he was the only Canadian there, but the college was purely English.Dr.Graham will sail from New York for home September 12.ee MONTREAL EXHIBITION.The directors of the Montreal Exposition Company have decided to prohibit and prevent all kinds of gambling on or within three hundred yards of the exhibition grounds, and any persons who after due notice continue to violate Lhe same shall be dealt with according to aw, It has also been decided that (he salo of alcoholic beverages would be totally prohibited; but that light refreshments, including temperance beverages, would be tolerated and sold at the various restaur- \u2018anis on the grounds.The General Freight Agent of the C.P.R.Co.writes to Mr.8.C.Stevens son to the effect that epecial instructions in regard to the prompt handling of al} exhibition freight, including live stock, at Mile End, have been duly given to the officials of the line, who will comply with the company\u2019s requests.The Freight Agent of the G.T.R.has written to Mr.8.C.Stevenson as follows : *I have your favor of ad inst.and beg to state that I have already taken steps to put in effect the same arrangements for getting live stock and other car load freight for the exhibition from Union Jacjues Carlier Junction to Mlle End, as we had in forca during the exhibition of 1893.\u201d The exhibitors are now working in earnest, and from present indications everything will be in readiness for Thursday next, the opening day.The contract fer illuminating and the firework displays has been awarded to a Montreal firm, Messrs.Robitaille & Co., who made such a success of the Fete de Nuit at Boucherville recently.A large number of Government and civic officlals have agreed to visit the exhibition on Thursday next, and will be met at the doors of the grounds by the board of directors, who will accom- Dany them on their official visit to the various buildings.Mr.E.G.Wiison, druægist, of Morris- ville, Vermont, kas written to the manager of the Montreal Exposition Company that a large excursion was belng organized In and around his localily, end that it would reach Montreal on and after the 16th of September next.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014- Caught at Last.For the last twelve months Messrs.Eastman and Peardon, wholesale grocers, of Swectsburg, in Bedford County, have been missing a large quantity of goods from one of their stores.Try as hard as they could the thieves escaped detention, and as & last resource the firm employed Detective Silas Carpenter to golve the mystery.That astute official, with two of his men, has for the last few days been on a still hunt, which yesterday morning ended successfully.They caught a man named Martin in the act of walking off with a bag of flour and other goods.Further investigation revealed the fact that he had been assisted by his two brothers-In-law, and that the three familles had subsisted for a long time on the goods stolen from Messrs.Eastman and Peardon.The three were lodged on qe Sweetsburg Jail to awalt their ria, | MONTREAL DAILY HERALD.SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7.1895.ST- VINCENT DE PAUL.Visit to the Famons Penitentary by the Grand Jury.It is à matter of sufficiently rare occurrence when one is permitted to have & realistic view of the practical side of lite, as demonstrated in some of our institutions.All day yesterday was occupied by the Grand Jury of the Queen's Bench in paying a visit to St.Vincent de Paul Penitentiary.The Grand Jury have no officlal rignt to visit the penitentigey, and the enjoyment of their visit yesterday was due to the courtesy of the genial warden, Mr.Tel.Ouimet.The visiting party comprised the Grand Jury, Deputy-Sheriff Franchere, Gover nor Vallee, of the Montreal Jail, and representatives of the press.The deputation were recelved by Mr.Ouimet and conducted through the entire institution.A description of the penitentiary would be uncalled for, as it has on various occasions been dealt with by the press.Suffice it to say that some improvements, such as the surrounding guard wall, twenty-seven feet high and six feet thick, 1s rapidly approaching completion, and will add to the security of the penitentiary, which already bears a splendid record, escapes being rare occurrences in the annals of the institution.The wonderful menner in which the corridors, etc., are iaid out, have tacili- tated matters so that a guard pacing in the centre rotunda can see in all directions where prisoners are confined, except, of course, the dungeons, which are in the basement.On the way down one of the corridors, along which, by the way, all the doors rnMy be locked and unlocked auto- maticaliy, Warden Ouimet stopped in front ot a dark cell it which a pri soner was confined.\u201cWho is there ?\"\u2019 asked the warden.\u201cBertrand,\u201d was the reply.\u201cYou are well known Bertrand and in your proper place,\u201d answered Mr.Oui- met, adding as the party left that tha prisoner in dark continement has a serious affinity for tighting with the other convicts.After touring through endless halls and alleyways the dungeons downstairs were visited.In one of these dungeons was confined a prisoner named Lambert.Foreman Jas.Lowe, jr., of the Grand Jury asked to see him.The outside portal of the cell was swung, and the warden asked Lambert if he had any request to make of the Grand Jury.He replied that he had not, and the partx left the basement.Later on, however, by special request of Mr.Lowe, the convict Lambert, who had been put in the dungeon for Insolence, was released from his gloomy quarters.When the tailoring department was entered all eyes were strained eagerly to ootain a glimpse of J.it.Hooper, who was known to be here.Soon all anxiety was relieved by liooper saluting the warden and engaging Koreman Jas.Lowe in conversation.Hooper is looking well and fat, an appearance borne by all the other convicts, and was seen to present two papers to the foreman of the Grand Jury.These papers turned out to be pe.itions to the Governor-General and the Grand Jury.Mr.Lowe declined to make knewn thelr contents until they had been read before the Grand Jury and the Judge.Many other interesting characters were seen.Bridgeman, charged with attempted murder of his wife, and serving fourteen ycara,; Jacobs, the Caugh- nawagy wile murdcrer, serving a life sentence ; Chandlers, who shot Superintendent Sheffield, ol the C.P.R.dining car service.Chandlers, when engaged in conversation at [iret cpoke calmly cnough, put soon waxed into a great state of excitement, laviching great abuse on the Warden and his oificlals, witn the exception of the Deputy-Warden, of whom he spoke well.He sald that he did not know where his people were, and requested the Grand Jury to find out for him where they were, and otherwise interest themselves in his regard.Fahey, the ex-detective, who has already served eight years on a fourteen years\u2019 sent- cence, was observed to be in good health, and looking far better than a year ago at the last visit of the Grand Jury.Many were the points of interest noted throughout the Penitentiary, but these would be difficult of classification, as it is one entire centre of great interest.Numerous samples of the prisoners\u2019 work were examined, and deeply 1m- Pressed the visitors with the latent genius confined within the walls of the St.Vincent de Paul Penitentiary.The visit altogether occupled about two hours, and concluded by a general reassembly In the Warden's office, where in a few well chosen words the foreman ef the Grand Jury thanked Mr.Ouimet for his exceeding kindness in escorting them through the Penitentiary.Mr.Lowe added that everything was in good order, and the arrangements throughout had impressed both he and the Grand Jury very much.Wholesnlo Orocers\u2019 Travelers.The Montreal Wholesale Grocers\u2019 Travellers\u2019 Association is the latest organization which proposes to work towards the universal brotherhood of man.It was organized last evening at the house of Mr.E.Massicotte, 215 St.Elizabeth Street.Mr.Massicotte was elected president, Mr.Wiiliam Duckworth, vice-presi- dent, Mr.E.Gounon secretary, and Mr.A.W.Childs treasurer.The directors elected are: Messrs.Æ.A.Cardinal, P.Grace, J.Ethier, D.Lapointe, A.La- croix and C.A.Corrigan.Mr.Thomas Gauthier, grocer, was elected honorary president, and Mr.J.O.Levesque, honorary secretary.The society will hold its second meeting at the house of Mr.Massicotte on the 20th inst.Before ad- Journing the members passed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr.Massicotte for his hospitality.Resolntion of Condolence.The following minute has been unanimously approved and ordered to be entered by the managers of the Mackay Institute: \u201cThat at this, the first meeting of managers since the demise of the late Mr.R.W.Shepherd, we desire io express our sense of the loss entailed upon the institution by the deprivation of the kindly advice and assistance which had been enjoyed for a perlod of 15 years.His lie was steadfast and consistent, open as the day.His character may be aptly summed up in the following quotation: With malice towards none, with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gave him to see the right.\u201d\u2019\u2014Carried.The G.'F.R.President, Mr.S.Barker, one of the directors of the G.T.R.Co., arrived at the Windsor last evening, having been with the new president oï the G.T.R.and the officials out west.He said that Sir Charles Rivers Wilson and the party were in Chi- caga.He.accompanied them to North Bay and then back to Toronto.Their inspection from Chicago would partake of a trip back over the old Greats Western service, thence to Niagara Falls and Hamilton, afterwards to Buffalo.It was the intention of the cl{iclals, i.e., Sir Charles, Mr.Price and the third director to hurry back to New York by September 19, where an important railway meeting would be held.Sir Charles and Mr.Price were not lixcly to return to Montreal again this trip., ARCHBISHOP INCOGNITO.MGR, CLEARY, OF KINGSTON, PAYS THE CITY A QUIET VISIT.SHOWN THE FIRE BRIGADE BY L1EUT.~COL, STEVENSON.Says IIe Never Saw Anything Half So Fine as the Chaboilles Square Hitchup.A rather spare-looking old gentleman, in most peculiar clothes, approached about noon yesterday the mahogany counter that shuts the general public out from the office of St.Lawrence Hotel.He told Mr.Hogan that he was tired and wanted to rest.Mr.Hogan, who knows almost everybody, did not know him from the proverbial little red waggon.But the gentleman wore beneath his collar a little red thing that had to Mr.Hogan a look as reminiscent a8 the visitor's face, which somehow seemed to remind the gentle host of somebody he had seen before somewhere.The old gentleman would not tell who he was, saying jocularly that Mr.Hogan should have recognized him.It was Archbishop Cleary, of Kingston, as Mr.Hogan subsequently discovered.His Grace, who had been drinking the waters at Caledonia Springs for a few weeks, was travelling Incognito.He had not a trace of the archiepiscopal robes on him, if the little red thing already mentioned is excepted.He wore trousers like any common man, and a black lustre coat, and seemed to shrink from observation.What he did or where he went in the afternoon nobody seems to know, but about He hour of the Angelus he ran across Mr.John B.Murphy at the Hall: Mr.Murphy and Colonel Stevenson had been \u2018dining together at the Hall and the former suggested that the Arch4 bishop should see something of the Fira Brigade.To this the chairman of the Fire Committee consented and the party went to the Chaboillez Square Station, where the men and horses went through a couple of \u2018\u2018hitch-ups.\u201d His Grace, who lives in Kingston, said he had never seen anything half so fine in the way of a fire ladder performance.Thereafter, accompanied by the Colonel, the Captain of the Station, Mr.Murphy and others, of whom there are generally a few on such occasions, the Archbishop went to his train at the Bonaventure Station.Archbishop Cleary seemed to be in the besi of health and those of his friends who had the pleasure of seeing him yesterday predict for him renewed successes in the Episcopal, epistles and the other circles to the circumferences of which he extends his energies.CHARGED WITH ARSON.Two Buffalo Men Arrested on a Serious Charge.Buffalo, N.Y., Sept.6.\u2014Willlam Vaughn and Willlam Brown Parker, who owned the variety store upstalrs over 267 Washington Street, in tne Academy of Music block, were arrested to-night on warrants which charged them with arson in starting thc fire which burned the Academy of Music last Saturday night.The warrants were sworn out by several insurance companies.It is claimed that the contents of the variety store, which consisted mostly of fakirs\u2019 supplies, were not worth more than $400, while they carried insurance to the amount of no less than $17,000.It is also stated that Vaughn and Parker removed a lot of the stock from their store Thursday, and replaced it with empty boxes.It has teen discovered that a hole was cut in the partition between the store and the theatre property room, and it is thought that the incendiary crawled through here and fired the property, returning to the street before the blaze was seen.The prisoners refuse to talk.POST OFFICE ROBBERIES.Fredericton, N.B.,, the Scene of Money Letter Pilforiug.Fredericton, N.B., Sept.6.\u2014 Three post office robberies have come to light here within the past few days, involving $5,655.The first loss reported was that of a letter, containing $165, mailed at Cross Creek, Parish of Stanley, by a resident of that place, to the Bank of Nova Scotia, in this city.In the other two cases letters malled at St.John and Montreal respectively, to the Bank of British North America, in this city, are missing, but bankmen will not give any particulars, and they succeeded in keeping the matter quiet until to-days It has been learned, however, that both letters were mailed on Saturday, and in due course should have been in the Bank of British North America post office box Monday morning.As Monday was a statutory holiday and all the banks were closed, the messenger of the Bank of British North America did not go to the post office on that day.The letters were not in the mail received Tuesday morning.\"The St.John letter contained bonds and coupons to the amount of $4,000, while the Montreal letter is said to have contained notes amounting to 21.600.Inspector King is holding an investigation, but up to the present time there is no clue to work on.OBITUARY.Cadenabbla, Italy, Sept.6.\u2014Willlam Henry Hulbut is dead.Human Heads for Football.Sullivan, Ind, Sept.6.~Last night James Ward murdered his father-in-law, Aaron Hunter, and his brother-in-law, John Hunter, cutting off their heads and kicking them around like footballs.The murderer was pursued by a mob and just as he was about to be captured he took his own life.Toronto Conduit Disaster.Toronto, Ont, Sept.6.\u2014At a special meeting of the Board of Works, held this morning, called for the purpose of considering the calamity which befell thq water works conduit yesterday, City Engineer Keating presented a report of the occurrence, in which he sald that although only a very superficial examination of the condult has so far been possible, the indications so far would lead him to suppose that the accident must have been due to obstructions of some nature in the conduit.The committee, after some discussion, adopted a resolution giving the engineer carte blanche to proceed with the repairs to the conduit without delay, and also instructing him to investigate thoroughly the cause of the trouble.It having been suspected that the collapse of the conduit pipe was the result of foul play, an investigation was made to-day by a practical machinist.He could find no evidence that the damage had been caused by an explosion or that the man holes had been tampered with.DENIED BY SIR CHARLES.Rumor That the G.1.R_ Intended Quite ting the Central Traflic Association.Chicago, Ill, Sept.6.\u2014For some days there has been ficating around a rumor to the effect that the Grand Trunk road contemplated pulling out of the Central Traffic Association.The alleged reason was that the road would be better able to look after its interests when on the outside than it is now able to do as a member of the association.Sir Charley Wilson, president of the Grand Trunk, arrived in this city, and denied fn the most positive manner that any such step had been considered by the officials of the Grand Trunk.He had, he declared, heard nothing about the matter until it was mentioned to him in Chicago.CANADIAN COPYRIGHT, Mr.Newcombe is Hringing Back Some Moditications.London, Sept.7T\u2014The Times this morning says that Mr.Newcombe, who came to London on behalf of Canada ,to secure & change in the copyright law, is carrying home certain modifications of Canada\u2019s demand with regard to the Copyright Act.It is understood that these recognize the right of copyright in Canada to cvery person who has any right tc copyright in the United Kingdom.These are also other concessions which it fs belleved will satisfy Canada\u2019s expectations.Hall Caine leaves for Ottawa on Sept.18, as a delegate from English authors ,to confer upon the terms of the proposed reconstructed bill.THE DANGER OF CITY LIFE.President Kingsbury at the Science Association.At the annual meeting of the American Social Scleace Association at Saratoga F.J.Kingsbury, LL.D, of Waterbury, Conn., president of the association, delivered his annual address on \u2018The Tendency of Men to Live in Cities.\u201d In the course of his address President Kingsbury, said that a recent writer has said: \u2018The great fact In the social development of the white race at, the close of the Nineteenth Century is the tendency all over the} world to congregate in great cities.\u2019 Doubtless this is true, but it is not a new or even a modern tendency.For when the earliest dawn of authentic history sheds its pale light on the darkness which lies beyond it shows us cities as large, as magnificent, as luxurious, as wicked and apparently as old as any that the world has since known.Babylon, Nine- vah, Memphis, Thebes, Damascus, were cited by the speaker as examples.Our earliest literature, too, shows the same prejudices against them in the minds of the people that now exist.These prejudices must then have been very old.Of Cain, it is said, as something apparently to his discredit, *'And he builded a city.\u201d From that day cities have been severely criticised.They have been regarded as the breeding places of vice and the refuge of crime.Thomas Jeflerson called them ''ulcers on the body politic.\u201d Dr.Andrew D, White says: \u2018They are the rotten spots in our body politic.\u2019\u2019_ Max Nordau goes into détail and attributes to them the moat debasing and degenerating influences, both moral and physical, on the human race.The speaker madg numerous citations in proof of this pesition from Nordau and several other authors-some of them in the form of statisticp\u2014and Dr.Josiah Strong's works were referred to as containing much more in the same line, Especial reference was male to the corruption of nrunicipal gpvernment and tha difficulties, encountered in any attempt at reform.The inference would seem to be that life in the city was so bad and in every way so dangerous that every man or woman should flee, as Lot did from Sodom, and never look lack.Precisely the reverse is true, and an important question is why this is so.Doubtless one of the stromgest forces is the human instinct of gregariovsuess, which leads pecple to be willing to sacrifice a great deal of merc physical comfort aml many other more distinct advantages for the sake of human scciety, even when that means more or less of a constant fight, as the prevailing form of social intercourse.Doubtless the increased facilities of travel had much to do with it.But that is simply saying that it is easier for people to get where they desire to be.Modern industrial life tends to concentration as a matter of economy.This point was illustrated by several examples.Cities, as places of human residence, have been vastly Improved in the last half century.Neither New York nor Boston had public water works un- tit about that time, and very few citics had either water or gas.Street cars had not been thought of.Now all small cities are supplied with both water and light, and the improved lift or elevator, the trolley, the telephone, and the bicycle are modifying the whole subject of the distribution of the population.It is by such apparently unimportant or inconspicuous forces that civilization is swayed and wielded in its evolutions, und no man can foresee whither they lead.A good word was also said for cities as nurseries of freemen and champions of liberty; and tie poetess Sappho, who wrote 600 years before Christ, was quoted to show the effect even then of city dress and manners.The summing up was : 1.For economic reasons a lamge part of the work of the world must be done in cities.2.Almost all the good things of life are easiest of attainment there.3.Change from city to country a portion of the ycar is desirable and attainable.4, The city is growing a better place to live in year by ycar.5.Efforts to relieve the congested condition by deportation of homeless children, etc., are good, but only touch the surface, and city degeneration must mainly be fought on its own ground and on economic and not sentimental lines, 6G.Just now the country life needs attention as much as the city.The whole problem, as sodlological, is comparatively new, but progress has been made ang the future is full of promise.F.B.Sanborn, oi Concord, Mass., presented his annual report, which referred to the organization of the society in Boston in October, 1865, and spoke of the many distinguished men, Jong since departed, who were connected with it.During the last year John W.Carter passed away.He had expected to preside over the debate on {ree silver.Another notable death was that of a corresponding member, Prof, Charles Secre- tan, of the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.Mr.Sanborn also touched upon the business brfore the several departments during the annual session this week, INDIGNATION IS GROWING, OVER THE SEIZURES OF VESSELS MADI BY CAPTAIN HOWARD.NEWFOUNDLAND WANTS A DISAVOWAL FROM CANADA.Friendliness Between the Two Colonies Likely to be Destroyed Ifthe Trouble is Not Soon Adjusted.(Special cable to the Herald.) St.John\u2019s, Nfld., Sept.6.\u2014Indignation is growing over the Labrador seizures as the full facts are learned.It now transires that (Capt.Howard Is using his position as a customs officer to make a big speculation.He has armed all his own lobster packers, the lobster season being over, and started out to seize every vessel he can lay hands on.He has a list of 140 Newfoundland vessels, which he threatens to seize.He boasts he will make a fortune out of the transaction.The anti-Canadian feeling is very bitter among the fishing classes over the seizures.If the Canadian Government does not promptly disavow his action all the friendly feelings of recent years will be eradicated and much mischief will result, if not bloodshed.On the Larbrador coast intelligent people admit that the Canadian Government is not privy to these transactions, but consider It a great pity that an irresponsible individual like Capt.Howard Is permitted to embroil two countries.Unless instructions are sent to Howard to release the vessels and conduct himself in a reasonable manner, by the mail steamer Vir- ginla Lake, leaving here Tuesday for Labrador, incalculable ham will be done our fishermen, whose chances of marketing their fish wtl probably be destroyed.The press of all shades of politics demand redress for the outrages, and call upon our Government to preserve the rights of Newfoundland fishermen and make immediate representations to Canada.who was Ambassadior there for titty SHERBROOKE FAIR.Results of Yesterday's Races\u2014Thistle Throws Two Riders, {Special to the Herald.) Sherbrooke, Que., Sept.6.\u2014The attendance to-day at the exhibition was not quite as large as yesterday, but still above the same day last year.This may be accounted for by the fact that excursions are over.The programme today was the best yet.Thistle, one of the starters in the handicap hurdle race, fell and threw her rider, who escaped without injury.Mr.C.Finney, the owner, then took the horse and was again thrown.The rider was uninjured, but the horse was badly hurt.Amongst the many visitors at the fair was Mr.Jose Hood, the superintendent of the equine exhibit at the coming Provincial Fair.Mr.Hood, who has witnessed many fairs this year, is much pleased with the show, and says that the cattle exhibit is the finest he has seen in many years.\u201cOf all the fairs in Canada,\u201d sald Mr.Hood, \u2018\u201c this is the beat.Toronto has a very large show, but the horse and cattle exhibit does not come up to this one.\u201d The following are the results of the races: 2.19 class\u2014 Ladt Lee, chm., Henry Ball \u2026 + em BB 111 St.Michael Boy, bg, L.Houde \u2026 \u2026.\u2026 \u2026 \u2026 11 2 22 Fred Mack, b.s., J.Moul- ton .cer ae an.33 8 3 3 Robert R., b.g.,, M.Raymond .vee eee ees dts Glenora, De.Eugene Panneton .dis Best time\u20142.23 14, Dominion Colt Stake, for three-year- olds\u2014 Kate's Best, br.m., John McLeod 1 1 1 Itocktarm Beauty, b.m., Rock- farm .\u201c 222 Napoleon, ch.c., A.Lebeau .33 3 Myrtle Mack, ch.m., Bryan & Alexander .dis Daisy Globe, b.m., B.J.Smith dis Palmlicast, br.h., H.J.Hallan.dr Rockfarm, blk.h., J.H.Lane dis Nellie Lee, br.m., I.ce Farm dis Time\u20142.37 3-4, 2.82 3-4, 2.35.Handicap Hurdle running\u2014 Duke of Bourbon, br.g., James Minogue .we 1 Crescent, b.g., J.D.Buzzel & Co.3 George Harvet, br.g., C.P.Kempt.1 The Rake, b.g., Colin Sewell d Vermillion, es.g., James P.Dawes .2e = À Dianthus, b.m., Chas.Finny .d Thistle, C.Finny .d Mr.L.A.Klein, of Venlo Farm, Maple Grove, Megantic County, has taken the first prize in the following classes: For the best brood mare, the finest imported hackney stallion, for the best yearling hackney and for 1895 foal.In addition to owning some of the finest thoroughbred horses, Mr.Klein has a kennel of the finest imported thoroughbred Dachshunds, and Is a prominent member of the kennel club of this section.Mr.Klein will act as judge of this class of dogs during the coming Montreal Exposition.PEART STOVES AND RANGES.The Moffatt Stove Company's products are made in many sizes.Imperial Pearls are made in six sizes, as are also the Welcome Pearls;

a more compleie government of the people by the people is not to be found, and nowhere in the world are the State officers, law makers, and the courts \u20ac0 absolutely the servants of the \u2018public as in Switzerland; Unless the people say it, either by their votes or bytheir silene, the laws of the Swiss Parllament are not laws at all If a single canton ds mand the submission of an act of Par- lament to the popular vote, it must be submitted; or if even 30,000 people petition for such submission it must be granted Such petitions are usually placed in the post oifices and public build- Ings, and the securing of the number of signatures required is a matter of no trouble whatever; hence this plebiscite Is often resorted to.Frequently a number of laws will be submitted at once, and on some Sunday morning afier church\u2014 the usual time for voling\u2014the Swiss citizen, with his silent ballot, will defeat a dozen acts of Parliament.In some of the cantons this same practice prevails ag to the local laws of the anton government.Under the Swiss system, the President of the Confederacy has no more authority than a member of the Cabinet.The head of \u2018the government Is a council clected by the Parliament; This council =eleis a chairman from its members, who thus becomes President of the Republic, and assumes a Cabinet portfolio, usually that of Foreign Affairs.He is clothed with no powers of appointment to office; his co-members of the Cabinet, even the judges of the Supreme Court.are all elected, He can serve but a single year; hence his tim2 and talents, instead of being devoted to filling offices and seeking re-election, are given to the service of his country.He is helped 4n his efforts for pure and economical government by a corps of trained statesmen.Demand for the Inmhble Bee, Some years ago I paid a visit to my nephew's vicarage in Buckinghamshire.He informed that a new industry had sprung up in his parish\u2014there was a demand for humble bees, which could be sold for fourpence a head.He could not inform me what led to this damand, nor could the villagers who had sold the bees do so.On enquiring who took the bees and paid the money, I was referred to the beemaster of a neightioring viHage.I found him out on the next day, when he informed me that the growing of red clover in New Zealand had failed for want of a native insect capable of fertilizing the plant.As the humble Ixe fertilized the red clover in Emland, it was proposed to send a colony of humble bees over to Ncw Zealand, which he did, but the first lot perished, ag was supposed from excess of heat in crossing the equator.A second colony walsi more fortune ate; it took kindly to the islands, and performed the function required of it suc- cessftully.The case is well put by an entomologist: \u201cMany of our English flowers are capable of being fertilized by only one kind of insect.The common red clover is visited by the humble bee, the petals are fused together, forming a narrow tube, surrounding the honey glands and the organs that form the pollen; the long proboscis of tha humble hee can reach the honey, but the hive bee's tongue i= shorter, and cannot do so.When clover was first; grown in Australia it never seeded, because the tomgues of the native bees were too short to reach the pollen Notes and Queries.Go to Heron Island\u2019 Saturday or Sunday.Sce advertisement, CURRENT LITERATURE, Miss Pauline Johnson has published a volume of her collected poems under the title of \u201cThe White Wampum.\u201d The product of the \u2018\u201cBodley Head\u201d press of John Lane & Co., the little volume is a typographical gem.Its contents are in great part not new; for they include ;pocms that have gone the rounds of the newspaper press, and baliads which Miss Johnson in her elocutionary pilgrimages through the country has made familiar to the public.The first portion of the book is given up to ballads on Indian themes, for Miss Johnson is a chicfiain- ess in the Six Nations Indians, and glories in her descent from a long line of Iroquois warriors.But though these poems have swing and action, we do not think Miss Johnson's fame will find in them a very sure foundation.It is in her \u201cnature poems,\u201d where she translates the words of forest, stream and sky Into melodious words that she ranks among the band of Canadian singers now growing a goodly one in numbers.Some of these poems are, in their way, per= fect.\u201cThe Song My Paddie Sings\u201d has long been known as a marvellous word- setting of the music of the waters; and in the same strain, but with a deeper meaning, is \u201cShadow River, Muskoka.\u201d A stream of tender gladness, Of filmy sun, and opal tinted skies; Of warm midsummer air thut lightly lics In mystic rings, Where roftly swings The music of a thousand wings That almost tone to sadness.Midway \u2018twixt earth and heaven, A bubble in the pearly air, I scem To float upon the sapphire floor, a dream Of clouds of snow, Above, below, Drift with my drifting, dim and slow, As twilight drifts to even.The little fern-leaf, bending Upoa the brink, its green reflection greets, And kisses soft the shadow that it meets With touch so fine, The border line The keenest vision can\u2019t define; So perfect is the blending.Tho far, fir trees that cover The brownish hills with needles green and gold, The arching elms o'crhiead, vinegrown and old, Repictured are Beneath me far, \u2018Where not a ripple moves to mar Shades underneath, or over.Mine is the undertone; The beauty, strength, and power of the land Will never stir or bend at my command ; Bnt all the shade Is marred or made, If I but dip my paddle blade; And it is mine alone.O! pathless world of sceming ! O! pathless life of mine whose deep ideal Is more my own than ever was tho real.For others Fame And Love's red flame, And yellow gold; I only claim The shadows and the dreaming, This is exquisite in expression, idea and cadence\u2014the gem of the volume.But there are others showing how near Miss Johnson lives to nature's heart: \u201cThe Rainfall\u2019; \u201cThe Bird's Lullaby \u201d; \u201cAt Sunset\u2019; \u201cNocturne\u201d; and others.Copp, Clark & Co., of Toronto, are the Canadian publishers.Macmillan & Co.have included in their series of reprints of old novels James Morler's once famous \u201cHajj Baba of Ispahan,\u201d known in the early days of the century as the Gil Blas of Persia.James Morier, though a British subject, was a therough Orientalist.The Morler family was of Huguenot origin, and after the re- votation of the edict of Nantes fled to Switzerland.Some of the family emigrated to Smyrna, where Isaac Morler, the father of James, was born in 1750.He naturalized himself as a British subject, and he married a daughter of the Dutch consul-general, and from these complicated antecedents came the novei- list of Perslan life.James was born in Smyrna about 1780, educated at Harrow, and spent his early manhood in travel in Persia and neighboring countries.He and his brothers entercd the British diplomatic service, where the name has ever since been an honored one, the late Sir Robert Morier, Great Britain's distinguished Minister to Russia, being a nephew of James Morier.\u2018\u2019Hajji Baba\u2019\u2019 was written in 1824, while its author was attached to the British Embassy in Mexico; and was for many years very popular.In this book he deals with the characteristics of the Persians.Hajjl is by turns a common slave, a barber, a Turcoman raider, a \u2018\u2019saka,\u201d or water carrier, a vendor of adulterated smoke, which gets him the bastinado, a fraudulent dervish, a physician's assistant, a sub-executioner.Then there is an interval in his misfortunes, during which he inherits a small patrimony.An extraordinary adventure in a public bath makes it necessary for him to assume the Identity of a rich man who had accldentally been drowned in a fit, and for a time Hajil plays the part of the wealthy Aga, but the imposture is discovered, and he is thrown on the world again.The wheel of fortune again turns, however, and Hajji Baba returns to his native city of Ispahan a greater man than he left it.The book is enriched with a wealth of Oriental anecdote.The introduction to this edition is wriy- ten by Hon.Geo.N.Curzon, a member of Lord Salisbury's administration, who has long been noted for his assiduity in fam- illarizing himself with the East by study and by personal explorations.Mr.Cur- zon says of this work: \u2018Even were the Persians to be blotted out of existence as a nation, even though Teheran, Meshed and Shiraz were to share the fate of Persepolis and Susa, it would yet remain as a portrait of unrivalled humor and accuracy of a people, who, though now in thelr decadence, have played an immense, and still play a not wholly insignificant part in the complex drama of Asiatic politics.It is the picture of a people, light hearted, nimble witted and volatile, but subtle, hypocritical and insincere; metaphysicians and casuists, courtiers and rogues, gentlemen and liars, hommes d\u2019esprit, and yet incurable cowards.\u201d The volume is capitally illustrated, as indeed are all the numbers of his series.(Toronto: Copp, Clark & Co.) Another volume in the same series includes \u201cThe Annals of the Parish,\u201d and The Ayrshire Legatees,\u201d by John Galt.In John Galt Canadians are naturally interested.He was long a resident of this country, and his name is borne by a flourishing Ontario town.He was the father of Sir A.T.Gault, and of Str Thos.Galt, of the Ontario Bench; and his Canadian descendants are numerous, and many of them distinguished.There is an introduction by Alfred Ainger, in which he says: \u201cGalt remains, I fear, little more than a name even to the omnivorous novel reader in England.Perhaps had he, like Goldsmith, written but a single story, Re would have been long ago a classic, and the incidents and characters of the \u2018Annals of the Parish,\u2019 familiar as household words.It is a noticeable circumstance that the present reprint coincides with a marked revival of interest in Scottish characters and manners.We owe this largely to such admirable pictures of these as Mr.Bar- i 1 | FOR Cloner evot THEFT CONSTIPATION.FOR SALE BY B.E.MCGALE, 2123 NOTRE DAME STREET.The Shee That Crippies tween the shoe that cripples and THE SLATER SHOE.calfskin, any width.8290 V VL TVHLVEIIVVIVY Franch Store\u2014Next to Ealmoral Hotel.Tho shoe that deforms is the shoe that hurts.Bandage your head unevenly as you do your feet, and soon you wouldn't know the difference be- Al! there's the shoe for your money.$3 per pair for the best shaped men's footwear in Canada.Made with the Goodyear Welt, of finest imported Black or tan\u2014six shapes\u2014all sizes\u2014 Five Follars Worth of Comfort\u2014Free!

article on the cash rescrves of Canada, in which the author, Mr.James B.Peat, arrives at the conclusion that the slow growth of our industries is due to a scarcity of gold.In reviewing this article, our esteemned contemporary, the Conservative crgan, very properly remarks: \u201cInstruments of credit, whefner cheques or\u2019 bank currency, are the form In which capital is supplied for industrial purposes, and the stock of these has gone on increasing at a rapid ratio in Canada for several years past.The failure of capital, therefore, to seek employment in agriculture, mines, fisheries, forest or manufactures to a greater degree than has been the case must be attributed to other causes than a paucity of metallic money.\u201d But here the light goes out.Although the Gazette devotes over a column toc the subject, it does not attempt to indicate what is the real reason whih prevents capital from seeking investment in Canadian industry.It is ro! unfair to conclude that it could not do so without striking a blow at the protectionist system, to which it is Lound by the ties of party and patron- ane.Canadian resources may be developed y foreign or by domestic capital.By our hostile tariff we have endeavored to restrict the commercial relations which might contribute to in- vile the attention of foreign capitalists to our country.By adopting a policy which discriminates against England, and which is considered by British business men as unsound and dangerous, we have placed ourselves in disfavor with the community which above all others could best furnish us the capital to develop our natural wealth.By increasing artificially the cost of living and the cost of production we have reduced the chances of profit-mak- ing and deterred to that extent Investment in our forests, in our mines, in our fisheries, in our farms and in all our manufacturing industries, which are largely dependent on a foreign market for the sale of thelr products.But worse than all else, through the system of protection we have tied up 2 large proportion of our limited national capital in unremunerative enterprises; and thus we have not only reduced our framediately avallable resources, but we have impeded the accumulation of pro- {its which make new capital.After the boom which marked the introduction of the National Policy into the country, when reaction set in, combines had to be formed, a number of mills had to be closed that the others might live, and the capital that had been sunk in these entevpriscs became unproductive.At the same time experiments were made in various other industries to which pro- Lection promised a bounly ; and in a great many où these also the capital, which had teen taken from industries better adapted to the needs of the country, became often unproductive.The last census enables us to measure with mathematical precision the extent of this evil.In 1871 {he capital invested in manufacturing way $77,064,020, and the value of tne products 221,617,773.In 1831 the capital had increased to the enormous sum of 2553,8:6,817, and the value of the products was only $475,455,705.In 1871, to produce $1,000 of goods only $351 of capital was required; in 1891 it required $741 of capital to produce the same value of goods.In 1871 It required only $415 of capital to give employment to one man ; in 1881 it required $962, much more than twice the amount.In 1871 25 per cent.of the product was leit to the manufacturer after paying for raw material and labor, and that represented a profit of 72 per cent.on his capital, with which te pay for wear and tear, interest, cte.In 1851 there was still the same proportion of the product leit over the the cost of raw material and labor, but in this case 25 per cent.of the product represents a profit of only di per cent.on the capital invested.Protection has reduced the efficiency of capital to such an extent that it takes twice the amount ft did under a low tari! to produce the same quantity of wealth and to give employment to samme number of people.Had the industries of the country been Br the allowed to develop along natural lines Canada would have to-day at least a hundred millions of capital available for investment in her mines, forests and farms, and hese again would be a source of continually increasing wealth, AROUSING NEW YORK, The long-talked of enlargement of the water channel facilities from New York to the Great Lakes scems now to be entering upon the progressive stage.The New York State Legislature in the early part o! this ycar authorized the taking of the pspular vote upon an issue of State bowls 15° nine millions of dollars, th* pe ls 14 be devoted to \u201cthe im- \u2026.% 4 Jeepening the Hrie, the Os- .and the Champlain canals.\u201d The vote is to be taken on the 5th of November, and as thet time is drawing near the press Is looking the matter up with the view of educating the popular mind favourably or adversely to the scheme.The New York Times, perhaps the most reliabl?newspaper authority amongst our neighbours, enters upon the educative work with a three-column article in double-leaded type, thus shewing ita strong sense, first, of the importance of the proposed step, and second, of ita utter inadequacy.The Times does not think that the vote of $9,000,000 authorized by the Legislature should be ratified by the people.It is understood to argue that the Legislature in passing the act did not raise itself to the height of its situation, and further to hold that the proposed work to be effected with this money \u201cis only a halting step towards real and effective canal improvement, and one that can be justified, if at all, only as a temporary expedient.\u201d But our New York contemporary does not throw its great weight into the scale agalnst progress in the direction of canal enlargement.Quite the contrary indeed.The Times discusses the various schemes that are made apparently feasible by the topography of the situation.It quotes the Erie enlargement scheme, for a ship canal of 2 feet draught, at $200,000,000; the Niagara Falls and Oswego scheme at $123,000,(00; and treats the Champlain scheme so inconsiderately because an unavoidable part of it is in '\u2019a foreign country >\u2019 that it refrains from quoting any engineering estimate.It is to be confessed off-hand that the figures given, and that the Times is prepared to accept, and with regard to which it \u201c would engage in a campaign of education to prepare the minds of the voters for favorable action,\u201d are expressive of a very large investment in the work of further \u2018\u2018extending the facilities of deep sea transportation 1,500 miles inland to the heart of the richest continent in the world.\u201d All this is very well of course.New York City and State could doubtless raise the money; but there are things that money cannot do.And there is engineering authority for the demurrer that money cannot supply the necessary water to the higher levels of either the Erie or the Oswego route for a 26-foot channel.A few weeks ago the Times published a well figured out scheme for the extension of the Ottawa River route from Montreal to the Georgian Bay by way ot Lake Nipissing and French River.Had our contemporary unrestrained its view by submitting the Lake Champlain scheme in conjunction with that of the Ottawa River, the two being one from the New York point of view, it would probably have succeeded in doing what it may be said to have signally failed to do.That is, it would have succeeded in submitting a practicable route between the Great Lakes and New York at a cost vastly less than either of the impracticable routes to which it has given adhesion, with a shorter distance by about 67 miles, and with quicker time by the difference between 120 and 550 miles of canal navigation.The cash resources and the ambition of New York, great powers though they be, cannot furnish an effective ship canal channel from the Hudson to the Lakes by any route other than that of Lake Champlain.They can increase the capacity of the existing routes without doubt ; but a 26-foot channel.it it is to be utilized to the extent indicated by our contemporary will call for a water supply that Is not to be had.THE FINANCIAL The event of the week in local financial eircles was the arrival of settling day, the \u2018\u2018fourth,\u201d as it is familiarly called.Contrary to the expectations of some, the day passed without any serious trouble, no large failures being recorded.A number of demands have been made, but so far no actual assignments have taken place, arising out of settling day.Most of the banks and financial institutions of the city make very favorabla reports.They say that paper was with few exceptions taken up very well, although some of the banks will not be able to report definitely for some days yet.A feature of considerable interest has keen the continued plenitude and easiness of money.Large sums have been loaned on call at 4 per cent., although a number of the banks are still asking 41-2 per cent.The lower rates are chiefly ob~ tainable from private lenders.Naturally this condition of affairs with respect tq the money market, has induced a considerable degree of activity on the Stock Market, and the tendency of prices has again been higher.The bullish feeling that has been so pronounced during the week has had other supporting influences in addition to easy money.These include reports of improving trade in tha United States, which have been reflected here to some extent, and the more favorable statements of earnings that are being published by the various railway and transportation cempanies.Still it is now a moot point whether or not the advances in the prices of certain stocks have not gone far enough.Brokers and bankers, too, should be on their guard, as anything approaching undue inflation should be deprecated.Some degree of interest was arouseil by the statement of a contemporary to the effect that La Banque du Peuple would resume business on October 1st.This report, we czn aulheritatively say, is devoid of foundation.As matters now stand, the only p:ople who have any right Lo say whether the bank shall on shall not resume business, are the depositors, and so far they have taken no SITUATION.action.The report of the joint cashiers is not yet quite completed, but it will be in the hands of the directors in a very few days.Nothing definite has been learned with regard to its contents, but we arc given to understand that it Will not be quite s3 rosy as casual rumor has been indicating.to the loss of tho reserve, it will srob- ably be found that the capital has teen substantially impaired.However, it is probabie that depositors will Le able to receive the amounts due them in full; so that they may defer payment to ane able the bank to resume.It is well known that the French banks have about as much business as they can well attend to; and should the depositors of the People\u2019s Bank, who stand in the position of privileged creditors, come to satisfactory arrangements with the directors, the bank would soon be in a position to resume business, and, by dint of hard work on the part; of the officials, would be likely to recover its position.On the other hand, should no such arrangements be made, the bank would have no recourse but liquidation, and as was proven in the case of the Exchange Bank, and more recently in the case of the Commercial Bank of Manitoba, this is a costly ang long drawn out process.\u2018Again, so far there has been no actual failure arising out of the suspension of the bank, but should liquidation be decided upon, this good record could hardly be maintained, as & number of accounts that would otherwise be supported would of necessity have to be closed up.Although there has not been much trading lately on the local Stock Exchange in \u2018Wabash eccurities, still a good deal of interest is felt in the road by local financiers.The gross earnings for the past year were $11,959,839, as against $12,651,448 for the previous year, a decrease of $531,609.This was than counterbalanced by a decrease of $909,351 in operating expeases, wl.ch were $8,921,029 as against $9,830,380 the Lrevicus year.The net carnings were $3,088,809, as compared with $2,721,067, an increase last year of $317,742.After paying all charges, including interest on bonds and the rent of the Eel River Rails road, a leased line, there is a deficit of $542,906, as against $671,765 the previous year, a decrease of $28,859.This deficit, it is confidently belleved, will be more than made up during the present year, the prospects for the road being very good.The exchange situation in the United States is still being wery anxiously watched.Gold is being exported in as large amounts as ever, and early in the week fears were expressed that the Treasury reserve would fall considerably below the $100,000,000 mark.These fears were set at rest however by the action of the Treasury Bond Syndicate, which again gave evidence of its ability and intention to protect the reserve and keep it above $100,000,000.During the past \"week the Syndicate has deposited in the Treasury some $5,000,000 to replace amounts withdrawn for export, and at present there is a small margin in excess of the hundred million reserve.Although additional exports are looked for next Saturday, it is generally understood that the Syndicate has further amounts of gold on deposit at the Sub-Treasury in special account, and that this is available at the pleasure of the Syndicate's managers for transer to the Government's regular account in order to make up for redemp- tions of legal tender and Sherman notes by houses in the business of exporting gold.In financial circles generally there is no question in regard to the ability of the Syndicate to keep the gold reserve from reduction below $100,000,000.A DILEMMA, The Gazette quotes the development of the iron industry in the United States during tie last decade, and claims that it is all due to protection.Now the most most remarkabie progress made by any State in this industry was that of Alabama, which increased its output from 62,336 tons of pig iron in 1880 to 890,482 tons in 1890.But Alabama had no protection against the older and richer manufacturers of Pennsylvania.If protection was not needed agalnst the competition of Pennsylvania, was it needed against the competition of far off England ?And if so, why ?The Gazette will have to admit either that protection had not the Influence it claims for the system, or else that England, being a free trade country, is in à position to produce much more cheaply and to compete much more advantageously with new rivals than pcor protected Pennsylvania.THAT PROVINCIAL DEFICIT, At last the confession has come.After two weeks of silence and hesitancy, L\u2019Evenement ventures to give an explanation in answer to the Herald correspondent, who announced that the provincial deficit this year would be even greater than that of last year.Our esteemed contemporary begins by rebuking our correspondent for saying that the Government tried to keep the condition of the finances secret, but it immediately proves the truth of our information by admitting that it has been unatie to obtain full information itself.L\u2019Evenement does not give an ofiictal and full statement certified by the Provincial Auditor, such ag we challenged the Government to publish, but only incomplete and epproximative figures, arranged to suit its purpose.Yet the Quebec paper begins by confessing that, excluding the amount paid for railway subsidies, the excess of disbursements over receipts will be between $160,006 and $170,000.And then it proceeds to let the cat out of the bag by confessing that in the receipts are included $100,000, representing the proceeds of the sale of the Chateau de Ramezay property.We know, moreover, that the proceeds of the sale of timber limits is counted in the same way.To include these sums in the revenue is of course absurd.If such a system of book-keeping were admitted the Government might, by selling all the assets of the province, show a surplus over cx- poaditure, no matter how extravagant it might Le.If, then, we deduct these sums from the revenue we find that by L\u2019Evene- ment\u2019s own admission the deficit will be abowt $300,000 for 1894-95, against more | penditure.In addition | $230,000 in 1893-94, This proves the reliable character of the Herald's information.The Conservative press ralses the old objertion that in the disbursements are included some items of extreordinary ex- That matters little to the public.What the Taillon Government promised to do was that they would re- Store equilibrium in the Provincial finances, and that with the aid of the new taxes which they imposed they would meet all liabilities with the ordinary revenue, with the sole exception of railway subsidies.The Conservatives were put in power to accomplish this work.Instead of ful- Lilling their promise they have been running tehind every year; and it was because Hon.J.S$.Hall \u201chad lost control\u201d over hig colleagues that he resigned.The annual deficit renders borrowing necessary, new loans bring increased interest charges, and the latter mean the fastening of obnoxious taxes upon the people.GOOD RUASONS FOR BELAY, The Government organs announced Josiah Wood's elevation to the Senate on August G6.In the same paragraph was conveyed the announcemznt of the dates of nomination and polling also.Nomination took place on the 17th inst.Just 11 days after the advertisement of Mr.Wood's appointment.Why does not the Government follow the same course in the case of West Huron?The answer Is easy.\u2018The Government thought to take the Opposition napping in West- moreland.The Liberals had no candidate there, and the Government thought that the prospect of a campaign to extend over about a fortnight only would scare them into letting the Conservative candidate go in by acclamation.In West Huron the case is different.There the Liberals have had a candidate in the fleld for two years; a candidate who is as sure of carrying the county back to the Liberal fold as we may be sure of anything in this world.Mr.Cameron ts waiting for the Government to come on.Like Job's strong horse, he pauseth in the valley and rejoiceth in his strength.He goeth on to meet the armed men and smelleth the battle afar off.That is to say, Mr.Cameron Is simply hungernig for a chance to give the Government candidate a royal hiding in West Huron.That is why the Government does not open West Huron right off.It will be observed also that the Government is not anxicus to lock horns with the Opposition in Cardwell; or in Lisgar, or any other place where it cannot afford to lose about 1,500 votes.CORRESPONDENCE Give

College, at Winchester, to-day received the following letter from Dr.CT.F.Reid, ot Shanghai, China, citizen of the United States, and presiding elder of the Shanghai Dietrict Methodist Church South.Shanghai, Aug.10.Only two weeks ago to-day I sent you an account of the Szechuen outrages, and to-day I am sending you accounts of the massacre at Ku-Cheng.Had our ministers acted promptly and adequately in the first ease, the second would probably not have occurred, and we should have been spared the spectacle of eight young and consecrated women dragged from thelr beds and brutally massacred, helpless infants hacked to death, and a faithful servant of God burned in his bed.I am sending you these accounts in the hope that you will use them where they will do the most good.I wish I could put a copy in the hands of every editor, every Congressman and every other man who has an interest in the welfare of the church or the honor of his country.We don't ask for revenge, but we &o ask for justice and the protection which every American has the right to,demand, and which no civilized nation has a right to withhold from its humblest citizens.Foreigners in China are unanimous in the belief that a little prompt and vigorous action would, at once put an end to those things.In our opinicn the action required at this time ia the appointment of a strong commission, with such rank and authority as will emable them to try and fix the guilt of the highest official.To pun- Ish a few coolies wouid be worse than useless.We must go to the source of these troubles, which is found in

forthwith upon an independent investigation of the Cheng-Tu riots.As at first arranged, the inquiry was to have teen made in co-operation with Great Britain, but there has been a change of plan within the past few days.There are understood to be good reasons why the State Department of this Government has decided upon an independent investigation, such as France has already made, and such as Great Britain will make later.Royal Visit to Stettin.Stettin, Sept.6.\u2014Emperor William reached this city to-day on board the despatch-boat Grillo.Almost simultane ously the Empress arrived by railway

attracted the attention of Constable Ma- guire, No.G station, who was passing on his beat.The constable saw a man entering the window, but he, accompanied by another, fled upon his approach.The constable pressed them pretty hard, when the hindmost man turned, and drawing a revolver fired at him.The pursuit continued, however, till under Aqueduct Street sub-way the would-be burglar turned again upon Maguire, who was now about ten feet from him.In some choice language he indicated his intention of rendering his head unfit for phrenological examination if he came réarer, and Suiting the action to the word fired again.The bullet missed, but the men made good their escape, scaling a wall in the neighborhood, and though Maguire did not give up the chase far some time he finally lost the scent.Fe describes them as \u2018regular toughs,\u201d\u2019He says he would recoemize them if he saw them again, \"and regrets the regulation that prevents the arming .of police with revolvers, as when opposed to them teciubs?present a \u2018very weak hand.\u201d AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS.Want a Large Tract in the Canadian Northwest.Ottawa, Sept.6.\u2014Mr.Morton, of Min- neapelis, was here to-day

With Great Men and Women\u2014Jenny Lind at Niagara Falls and the Noisy Purty in the Next Room, So great an interest was manifested in the few reminiscences of the Hon.George \u2018Waldegrave-Leslie, which were published in the Herald on \u201cThursday, that a reporter called at the Windsor to see him again last night, and found him quite willing to talk over his experiences in many lands.The charm of listening to a man who has seen the making of a half century\u2019s history is the more remarkable when it is remembered that he has been no idle spectator, but has taken active part in the events which he describes.\u201cThe life of a man in the diplomatic service is not always the bed of roses which some pecple imagine,\u201d he said.\u201cI have a very vivid recollection of one instance of that.On New Year's Day, 1839, the Emperor Napoleon III.held the usual levee in Paris, at which all the ambassadors were present.At this time relations between France and Austria were uncomfortably strained, and as Baron Huebner, the Austrian Minister, passed before the Emperor the latter said : Il n\u2019est pas le meme a present entre nous et vous comme autrefois.\u201d Of course, this rather enigmatic sentence spread like wildfire, and indeed it was generally thought to be tantamount to a declaration of war.\u2018What action Italy would take in such event became of immense importance, and as soon as word reached Na« ples Lord Odo Russell, the British quasi- representative there, felt it necessary to let Lord Palmerston know as quickly as possible what the feeling in Naples was.I being on the diplomatie staff, Lord Odo Russell (afterwards Tord Ampthill, British Ambassador at Berlin), wished to send some confidential person straight to London, and it fcll to my lot to carry the message from Naples to Marseilles, there being no railroad then.It was a terrible journey.It took me eleven days posting day and night, part of the time in deep snow.Anything like decent sleep was out of the question, and you may judge how fatiguing the trip was when I tell you that I lost 14 pounds in weight in accomplishing it.At Marseilles I took the railroad through Paris and thence to London, where I handed my despatch to Lord Palmerston personally.\u201d One phase of his career in which Mr.Waldegrave-Leslie seems to take especial pride was that he was selected to be principal secretary of the British Embassy at Constantinople during the latter portion of the \u201creign\u201d of the great Eltchi, Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, who was ambassador there for fifty years.It was while in Constantinople that he became acquainted with Baron Ferdinand.de Lesseps, with whom he kept yp personal relations until the time of the great engineer\u2019s death.\u201cAnother great man with whose personal acquaintance I am honored,\u201d remarked Mr.Leslle, \u201cis Prince Bismarck.I mel him at Frankfort-Am-Main two years ago, shortly after his dismissal by the young Kaiser.In conversation, he expressed the greatest devotion to the Kaiser, and hoped that the reconcillia- tion, which has since been brought about, would be soon to arrive.\u201d So his recollections went on, for Mr.Leslie had been employed by four Prime Ministers in confidential work \u2014 by the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord John Russell, Earl of Derby and Viscount Palmerston.Speaking of newspapers and newspaper work, he came once under the cartoonist\u2019s gentle hand himself.It was after he carried Hastings for the first time, when he came in as a Liberal at the head of the poll, that Punch published a cartoon on October 1st (the first day of pheasant shooting), with Lord Palmerston as a hunter.Mr.Walde- grave-Leslie figured as a retriever, and as such he was laying a plump cock pheasant marked \u201cHastings,\u201d at his master\u2019s feet.Palmerston\u2019s comment was, \u201cWell done, Waldegrave.I thought you'd bring it in.\u201d But it is not only In political and diplomatic life that he has had odd experiences.\u201cWhen I was in Canada in 1851,\u2019 \u2018he said, \"I was stopping for some time at the Clifton House, Niagara Falls.It so happened that Jenny Lind was making her American tour then, and the dry atmosphere of this country had so affected her voice that she had lost her upper and lower semi-tones.Her phy- siclan advised her to go to Niagara Falls, thinking that the dampness might restore these powers\u2014which, by the way, it did.She was at the Clifton House, but, as luck would have it, she was placed in a room next to which was a very noisy party of young men.She objected, of course, and the landlord said that he would change their room and put them next a quiet young Englishman.\u201c1, added the 8% gentleman, with a chuckle, \u201cwas \u2018the quiet young Englishman.\u201d At any rate I became well acquainted with the great singer, and was privileged on several occasions to hear ner practice her wonderful trills, to the accompaniment of the deep diapason of the cataract.\u201cIt was nearly twenty years before I saw her again, and this was in London at a dinner party, and was privileged to take her to dinner.She did not seem to remember me, but suddenly in the middle of dinner she turned around in her chair and embraced me, to the amusement of everybody, and cried out, \u2018Oh, my dear friend of Niagara.I did not recognize you at first, but I know you now.\u201d A few days afterwards Mr.Leslie was sitting with Jenny Lind and her husband at one of Charles Dickens\u2019 readings.The great novelist was reading the scene from Oliver Twist in which Bill Sykes strangles Nancy.The audience was almost gasping with horror, and the cantatrice, hiding her face, sald \u201cMr.Leslle, that acting 1s so terrible that you must make the Prime Minister stop it.\u201d The Prime Minister was sitting a few seats in front, and after the performance he was introduced to her.She remarked, laughingly, \u201cMy Lord, you'll have to account to God for allowing such an exhibition.\u201d \u201cI met Dickens the next day at the Athenaeum Club, and related the incident to him, when he sald that he was much gratified, that it was one of the greatest compliments he had ever been paid,\u201d said Mr.Leslie, concluding the anecdote.: In finishing the interview Mr.Leslie mentioned the fourteen years that he acted as librarian of the House of Commons, and remarked that he prepared the duplicates for transmission to the Canadian House, where it gave him Breat pleasure to see them last year so

TRADE.mme BRADSTREETS AND DUNS REVIEWS OF THE PAST WEEK.Lee Reaction in the High Prices of Se vera Staples\u2014Continued Boom in Iren Industries, Bank Clearances and Business Failures, New York, Sept.6.\u2014R.G.Dun & Co.'s review says: \u2018Chere is no real reaction in business.Gains which were recog- 1zed as temporary are vanishing, but there remains a decided increas: over last year at this date, although prices average 8 per cent.lower than a year ago.It needs no keen observer to see that the reactlon against rapid advance of prices is strong.Hides were the first to rise, but a decided break has come.Coke was suddenly raised to 31.40, but has recently sold at $1.10.Wheat jumped over 20 cents to 84 cents, but is now slow of sale at about 66.Wool was late in rising, but has lost about an eighth of a ca2nt in average price within the past fortnight.Iron still rises, the miners\u2019 strike having hindered shipments of ore, but with troops guarding the ore it begins to move.Cotton is sirong, but has paused.The general tendency to curtail purchases where prices have notabiy advanced grows clearer in boots and shoes, in wool and in some products of iron.The combinations have again advanced prices of bar iron $2 per ton, and of wire nails 20 cents per keg, while Bessemer is quoted at 317.40 at Pittsburg.Special causes are the wholly unprecedented bridge building, the continued demand for buildings in cities, and heavy ship building on the lakes.Consumption already nesitates, and railroads have not much expanded their demand for rails.Copper is also a shade weaker, with large supplies; tin, With 26,890 tons in visible stock, domestic and foreign, and lead, with sales of 1,500 tons domestic.In the boot and shoe industry many shops are discharging hands, and in woolen manuiacture a lew works are closing for want of orders.The brightest feature in all the horizon Is the certainty that the crop of corn will be enormous.Frosts now can only affect a small fraction, and the surplus will go into manufacture of meats, because at 35.7 cents at New York, nearly 4c lower than a week ago, there is no other profitable use for corn.The latest reports of wheat threshing induced the best western judges to raise their estimates of yleld over 40,000,000 bushels, and with 459,000,000 bushels added to 70,~ 000,000 brought over, the supply will exceed all probable demands.\u2018The price has again dropped about 3e, and with western receipts of 4,560,104 bushels, against 6,564,210 last year.Atlantic exports have been only 1,347,362 bushels, flour included, against 2,799,860 last; Pacific shipments contiuning large.Fallures for the week have been 186 in the United States, against 219 last year, an din Canada 83, against 47 last year, Bradstreet\u2019s to-morrow, will say : Favorable crop report from nearly all directions, and a continuance of the boom in steel and iron continue to characterize the general trade situation.Latest ad- vices as to the corn crop, have replaced anxiety with confidence in the larger estimates of the size of that crop, and satisfaction with the outlook for trade this autumn.Harvesting and threshing are Interfering a little with business in the spring wheat country, yet Duluth, Minneapolis and St.Paul jobbers in general lines are pushing for new business.In South Dakota and Washington, farm- erg show no disposition to sell their grain.California reports perfect weather for harvesting.The other side to the crop outlook is found in Texas, where worms are said to have seriously damaged cotton in some sections.Iron and steel prices have advanced from $1 to $2 further, and demand at this time continues in excess of the output, which probably almost equals the largest preceding rate of production.All finished products are beginning to\u2019 show the effects of higher prices for raw iron and steel in corresponding advances.Western iron and steel mills have orders to keep them busy into 1896, and refuse to name prices for future delivery.Apparently every mill and furnace in the country is at work, an.the current fiscal year will probably break the record of production.As nearly all iron makers bought a year\u2019s sup- piy of ore at lowest prices, advances in wages and other items of cost to manufacturers have been more than equalled by the advance of prices.Diversity of demand and certainty of heavy requests yet to come forward, point to the iron and steel boom as the greatest on record here.Exports of wheat from both coasts, United States and Canada, this week amount to 2,260,000 bushels, against 1,871,- 928 bushels last week, 3,207,000 bughels in the week a year ago, 4,902,000 bushels two years ago, 3,567,000 bushels in the week in 1892, and 4,726,000 bushels in the like week in 1891.Indian corn exports continue to expand.In the third week of August the total sent out was 1,124,000 bushels, and this week it is 1,405,000 bushels, the heaviest week's shipments this year, compared with 127,- 000 bushels in the week a year ago, and 672,000 bushels two years ago.Bradstreet\u2019s reports the total bank clearings in 85 principal cities of the United States for the week as $914,840,- 999, an increase of 15.1 per cent.Outside New York city the clearings were $394,697,663, an increase of 15 per cent.The clearings for the Dominion of Canada were: Montreal, $9,476,663, Increase 12 per cent.; Toronto, $5,028,092, increase 27 per cent.; Halifax, $940,19{, decrease 8.9 per cent.; Winnipeg, $798,483, increase 13.7 per cent.; Hamilton, $612,374, decrease 19 per cent.; totals, $16,785,805, increase 13.5 per cent.Bradstreet\u2019s state of trade says: Fall trade at Toronto has opened quite satisfactorily, the volume of orders placed, particularly on millinery, being ahead of last year.Crops in the Province of Quebec are fairly good.Country merchants have asked for renewals rather more frequently than expected.Montreal reports general trade somewhat behind expectations.Nova Scotia country merchants are buylng very caonservative- ly.In New Brunswick crop prospects are fair.There are thirty-three business failures reported from the Dominion of Canada this week, against forty-two last week, twenty-nine in the week a year ago, and twenty-seven two years ago.Bank clearings at Winnipeg, Toronto, Mcntreal, Hamilton and Halifax amount to $16,785,000 this week, against $16,907,- 000 last week and $14,376,060 in the week a year ago.The Society of Arts of Canada, 1668 Notre Diame Street, Montreal.Distributions every

CONDEMNED ON SANITARY GROUNDS.\u2018The Gnas Question to be Constdercd at the Next Meeting of Council.There was a largely attended meeting of: the City Council yestérday afternoon.The Mayor presided.\u201cThose present were: Aldermen Connaughton, Lefebvre, Turner, Jacques, Grothe, Lyall, Leclerc, Renc- ault, McBride, Farrell, Hurtubise, Savig- nac, Brunet, Rainville, Dupre, Preno- veau, Beausoiell, Marsolais, Nolan, Costi- an, Stevenson and Robert.A letter was first read from Mr.S.C.Stevenson, secretary of the Montreal Exposition Company, asking that a civic holiday be proclaimed during exhibition time.This was left for the consideration of the next meeting.A letter from the Minister of Railways informed the Council that the Street Rail- Way cars could cross the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks on St.Denis Street to-day.À petition was presented from the General and Notre Dame Hospitals asking for 3500 for the maintenance of their ambulance service.This matter was referred to the Finance Committee.The report of the Provincial Board of Health was next considered.It condemned the guard pier on account of the unsanitary condition of things that ii would occasinn.This pier would cause the water to become stagnant; already many offices had to be removed from the river front because the water is a menace to the health of citizens.The sewerage pouring into the basin would surely prove very detrimental and dangerous.The report asked the Council to take action.Alderman Stevenson believed that all the statements made against the basin were not altogether well founded.For the last forty-seven years, that he has had an opportunity to observe it, the water was always foul, and this year it 1s even somewhat improved, though the dyke is under way.The subject was sent to the Finance and Water Committees for consideration.The nezt matter for attention was a petition of the Grand Trunk Boating Club asking that the llne of the dyke on the property of the city at Verdun be changed.The club protested strongly against the dyke, and there was a deputation of officers present.Alderman Jacques moved, seconded by Alderman Turner, \u2018that the municipality of Verdun having decided to build a dyke on the city\u2019s ground, now occu- pled by the Granda Trunk Boating Club, it will destroy the grounds and prevent an exit to the river, and consequently the matter should be referred to the Water and Finance Committees.\u201d Alderman Stevenson was opposed to the intention of sending the matter to any committees.The Council should attend to it at once; otherwise it would nevex the dyke would destroy the uses of the club and depreciate the city property.At present the club has beautified the place, and it forms a delightful park, maintained in excellent condition.Ald.Costigan maintained that ft would occasion small cost to change the line, and consequently it would be unnecessary to refer the matter to the Finance Committee.He advised the change of the llne.Ale McBride wanted the Council to remedy the matter instanter, but Ald.Lyall wanted it to be referred to the Finance Committee.Ald.Connaughton maintained that the affair would only concern the contractors and the municipality of Verdun.-Ald.Stevenson, seconded by Ald.Costl- gan, moved that the petition be granted and that the line he\" changed without cost to the city.This was carried.Ald.Robert asked the Mayor if anything more had been done in the matter of gas.\u2018His Worship said that the matter is still in statu quo; but it would ba considered at the next monthly meeting of Council.Ald.Liyall asked the Mayor if anything would be done to entertain the visiting sailors.He was told that the admiral would return next week, and they might be entertained then.Ald.Lyall\u2014*\u201cBut will any further expense be Incurred by the city in regard to the entertainment?\u201d The Mayor\u2014\"Well, the Finance Committee did nothing yesterday.I sup pose they will vote something.\u201d The committee then adjourned.We are now showing the lates in Fancy Suitings, Vestings and Fall Overcoatings.Kelly Bros 1691-1697 Notre Dame.Gold From Cape

Ottawa, Sept.6.\u2014The Ontario Govern- ernment has for the present withheld its money grant to the Geparate School -Board.\"This is an outcoms of the trou- bie over the continued employment of the Christian Brothers by the board, notwithstanding that they are not possessed of the necessary qualifications required by the Ontario schoo! law, as the recent enquiry showed.\u2018This will bring the whole question to a speedy settlement.Inspector \u2018McMichael, of Toronto, has been offered the position of commissioner of customs at Ottawa.Mr.Kilvert, of Hamilton, had the first offer, but declin- \u20ac , THE LEADER ARRESTED Fomenter of the Mu-Cheng Christian Riots Jailed, Hong Kong, Sept.6.\u2014The leader of the Ku-Cheng riots, in which a number of English and American missionaries were killed, has been arrested.An attempt was made by Chinese soldiers to kidnap this person in the hope of sccuring the reward which had been offcred for his delivery to the au thorities.The total number of arrests thus far of those concerned in the Ku-Cheng massacre is 139.Twenty-three of the number nave been convicted, but up to this time sentence has not been passed upon any of them, the Vice-Roy of Fu-Kien demanding the right to review the evidence adduced at the trials.GERMAN EVENTS.Emperor Willlam and the Socinlists\u2014 Freedom of the Press.London, Sept.6.\u2014An editorial in the Times, commenting on Emperor Wil liam\u2019s appeal to the guards against the Socialists, says: \"It is easy to attach exaggerated itnportance to such phrases uttered in the heat of a patriotic address.\u2018The occasion was one of national rejoicing, and it 1s hardly conceivable that it was meant to convey a direct threat of military action.Au the same, it Is important as revealing the anxiety of the Imperial mind over the magnitude and vitality or the Soclalist party.If the Emperor's speeches shall lead the middle classes to meditate seriously upon the danger of Socialism the question will be settled without invoking the guards or cven resorting to the antiquated and futile expedient of press prosecution, except for incitement to crime.\u201d A Berlin despatch to the Times says that the prohibited Sedan Socialist meet- Ings were held yesterday.Herr Auer, in speaking, declared that the Socialists were not the enemles of the Empire, and that if a fresh war were to break out with France on account of the Imperial provinces of Alsace-Lorralne the German Sociallsts would certainly not agree to the cession of the provinces.The Vorwaerts declares that it will appeal against a new attack on the freedom of the press.they succeedad in Keating®s grocery the Anti THE INSURANCE FRAUD.Fraker Identified by President Davis ot thr Kansas.Topeka, Kanses, Sept.6.\u2014President .J P.Davis, of the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance Company, Insists that there is no shadow of doubt that the man arrested at Towers is George W.Fraker and says it will be but a short time before all interested must admit it.The insurance companies, he says, would make no attempt to secure the money until all were satisficd.Dr.Fatal Fighs Between Squaws.Wheatly, Ont.Scpt.6.\u2014Yesterday some Indians living about seven miles east of here went with baskets to Leam- ington, where they secured liquor and got drunk.After returning home two of the squaws, named Mrs.Jos.Peters and Mrs.Thos.Dodge, got into a fight, which resulted in the former striking the latter on the head with a club, Kiliing her Instantly.WHO CONTROLS THE HORSE?A QUESTION WHICH THE HEALTH COMMITTEE HAD TO SEITLE.TROUBLE OVER THE CONTRACT FOR SUPPLYING BRAN.Some Compinints of the Mayor Inves- tiguted\u2014Another Morzue Site Oifercd.À meeting of the Health Committee was held yesterday.Ald.Beausoleil pre- £ided, and Ald.Hurtubise, Nolan, Brunet, Lyall, Leclerc and Turner were present.It was agreed that $200 should be offered Mr.Champagne, the boiles inspec- to, for servi.es rendered the department.The secretary then read tne minutes of previous meeting in order to let the committee see whether power had been granted to any one to authorize architects to make plans for the civic hos- piials, Ald: Lyall felt that no alderman should make plans without the szuthorization oi the committee, and it secmed queer to him that an account should be presented to the committee by Perrault and Mann lor several thousand doliars.Ald.Beausoleil said that the committee had asked for plans; they had dis- (ussed them, altered and had offered sug- Bes:lons, the committee could not have expected the architects to do that work for nothing.He would not say that they should be paid; but he wished to show the position of the committee in its true light.Ald.[Leclerc asked that the matter be left on the table till the next meeting.This was done.Charles Thackray & Co.were awarded $50 for an office that they had crected on Gregory farm, and which will be serviceable to the city.Joseph Coliette, who was awarded the contract for bran, because the lowest tenderer had refused, sent notice to the committee that he also would refuse to furnish the bran.The committee authorized Mr.Morin to purchase the best at the lowest market price.Mr.Morin was then called in, because Sanitary Engineer Dore complained that Mr.Morin wouid not cause his horse to be sent to him when he wanted to ga anywhere.The committee allowed \u2018Mr.Morin to understand tnat Mr.Dore is his superior officer, and that he must obey him.The chalrman then asked Mr.Morin if it were true, as the Mayor stated yesterday at the meeting of the Finance Committee that he (Mr.Morin) could save in fodder alone $3,000 to the Health Committee.\\ Mr.Morin said that he never had anything to do with the mayor and he never gave him any facts or figures.Ald.Nolan asked him if he had made the statement to any one.Mr.Morin said that he had not done so, and moreover he could operate a saving; to do 50 would depend on the fluctuations of the market.) The chairman alse referred to the statement of the mayor that there are {co many employes at the incinerator.The majority of the committee was of the opinion that the staff could not be reduced If an efficient service were to be maintained.To diminish the number would be to cause the men to work twelve hours a day at very severe work, and some aldermen were personally aware of the severe work demanded from the men.Ald.Lyall wanted to give the superintendent a chance to economize, as he said he might be able to do the work with less men, but the committee objected, for the reason above mentioned.Dr.Laberge made a report on the advisability of buying the building of the School of Medicine and Surgery, situated on Pine Avenue.He said that it was admirably situated in an isolated place, and would answer very well for a morgue.The building is good and well lighted and the rooms are high.There would be sufficient apartments.As regards the locality, the doctor siated that the coroner would be more competent to give an opinion; and as for repairs, he could say nothing, though he belleved they would bg costly.The building and grounds were offered to the city for a morgue for the sum of $55,000.It is the building of the old Victoria Faculty of Medicine.The matter was left over, and the committee adjourned.FROM THE CAPITAL.A, P.Low's Explorations in Lubrador\u2014 Strike Settled.Ottawa, Sept.5.\u2014A.P.Low, of the Geological Department, has returned after comzleting his explorations in the interior uf Labrador.He and his party started inward from a point opposite An- ticosti, going northward about 30 miles.For two months it rained continuously.In making a portage onc of the party, an Indian, was drowned.The country through which the party travelled, like the rest of Labrador, is only veluable for its mineral resources.Mr.Low states that there is an abundance of iron ore everywhere, and good beds of copper.Indications of siiver were seen; in places there were forests of some size, but the timber is small on account of the severity of the climate; \u2018 The following directors have becn appointed at a meeting of the Ottawa and Gatineau Railway Company : Mr.H.J.Beemer, Mr.M.S.Lonergan, Mr.J.P.Mujlarky, of Montreal;

open It and satisfy yourself on that point.\u201d He spoke clearly and in a decided tone.He will be examined in detail to-morrow.The man was arrested by a policeman named Roger.The bomb has been taken to the municipal laboratory to be examined.Commissary Girard and Prefect Leplne are investigating the case.AN OFFICIAL BATTLE.Alleged Engagement Between Cuban Insurgents and Spanish Troops.Havana, Bept.6\u2014According to an official report, a detachment of twenly soldiers from Fort Campechueta were attacked by a force of 300 insurgents.The soldiers, so overwhelmingly out-num- bered, made a heroic resistance.Ten of their number were killed and two captains, one sergeant, one corporal and five private soldiers were wounded.The arrival of reinforcements for the survivors compelled the insurgents to retreat.The latter left seven killed, but carried thelr wounded with them.WINDOW GLASS MAKERS COMBINE Pittsburg, Pa., Sept.6.\u2014Representatives of 26 window glass manufacturing firms met here yesterday, formed the Pittsburg Window Glass Compavy, and elected H.Sel ers McKee president.It is said the Indiana Company and the Pittsturg Company will soon join imter- ests for the purpose of fighting foreign competition.Should the union take place the combined capital will be $25,000,000, of which the Pittsburg Company will represent nearly 70 per cent.A meeting of the manufacturers will he held in Chicago next Monday for the purpose of fixing prices for the season.STARVING TO DEATH, Judge Dugas had before him yesterday a most pitious case of starvation, whicn, according te the evidence of a physician, may end in death.The party in question is a Mrs.Turner, living at 89 1-2 Canlere Street, with her two young children, aged 2 and 3 years.From the story given by Capt.de Cor- mick, of No.16 Station, the woman's husband, not being able to procure work In this city, left two months ago for the States.No word has been received since by the wife of his whereabouts, and she has subsisted ever since on the charity of neighbors.Her children were her first care, and the litile food left she partook of.It was starvation, pure and simple, but she never complained.This morning when one of the neighbors entered the house she found the poor woman in a dying state, and was under the impression thai she had taken poison.The police were notified and a physician called.who, after examination, found she had not taken poison but was dying from starvation.\u2018The judge, on hearing the story from the captain, ordered the poor woman and her children to be immediately con- veved to the Notre Dame Hospital, which was done.ee ' Teeth That Will Bite.Artificial tecth of the very best make tnserted at lowest cost.fainless extrac tion.Partial or tull sete of teeth, Hz- amination free.A.5.Brosseau, L.D.S.7 5t.Lawrence Strecl PAGES S To ji2.National Meter Co., New York Yanduzen Steam Jet Pump, Cincinnati Buckeye Bell Foundry Co., Cincinnati Penberthy & Korting Injectors Watson's Pressure Regulator Chapman's Steam Trap Fittings, etc.Jenkins\u2019 Globe Yalves GARTH & CO., Agents and Manufacturers, Fairbanks\u2019 Ashestos Packed Cocks and Valves Chapman Valve Mfg.Co: Wilhelmi Copper Bath Boilers Watson, McDaniels' Steam Specialties | Barander's Jet Pump & Water Elevator Fellow\u2019s Little Giant and Twin Comet Lawn Sprinklers | Newton's Sanitary Traps GARTH & CO, 536 to 543 Craig Street, [lontreal.THE UNIVERSAL SONG.\u201cWe want STRACHAN\u2019S GILT EDGE Soap.\u201d It always is full weight, pure, and a powerful cleanser.Ask Your Grocer for it.Shed that Summer Suit.Don\u2019t hang on to it till frost bites it.Cheaper to order early and get a good suit and have the wear, of it.Just as cheap as à month from now.RIGHT PLACE Tailoring Co., 2310 St.Catherine Street.2000000000000000000000000¢ If You Wish em ;

resisting arrest last week.Hardin, at the age of 17, allied himself with the Taylor brothers in the famous Taylor-Sutton feud, which origninated in 1868 in De Witt County with the killing of old man Sutton by the Taylors.Hardin was a leader of the Comanche County contingent of the Taylor gang.The counties of Comanche, De Witt and Gonzales were the stamping ground of the two factions, and they had many bloody fights, resulting in the killing of forty men between 1868 and 1874.Hardin is credited with having killed sixteen of the Sutton men in hand- to-hand combats at different times.In 1874-76 Hardin and his gang of outlaws terrorized Comanche County.They would ride into the town of Comanche every night and \u201cshoot it up.\u201d In the fall of 1874 Deputy Sheriff Webb, of Brown County, Texas, went to Comanche to arrest one of Hardin's gang, and Hardin killed the officer and defied arrest.He went to Jacksonville, Fla., in the fall of 1875 and was doing a prosperous market business

arose between M.Emile Zola and the Gil Blas newspaper with reference to the payment for the publication of his novel * Lourdes\u201d in that journal has just been disposed of by the Seine Commercial Tribunal.It appears that the proprictors of the Gil Blas agreed to pay M.Zola 50,000f.for the right to publish his story in serial form in that paper, but they subsequently rea fused to do so oh the ground that they understood that they were to have the exclusive rights of publication of the work while it was running in the Gil Blas, whereas not only did M.Zola have it printed simultaneously in a number of English, German, Spanish, Itallan and Portuguese newspapers, but he also published it in book form a month before the story was concluded in Gil Blas.In addition he wrote a series of articles for another French paper on the discussion wzich the book gave rise to, thus dea tracting attention from the plaintiff's paper.The court found for the defendant, as it considered that the proprietors of Gil Blas ought to have protested at the outset against the publication in foreign newspapers ; and moreover the evidence showed that they had given verbal permission for the story to appear in book form when it did.Vorderthlersee, near Kuptein, in the Bavarian Alps, like Oberammergau, has a passion play which is performed every ten years.It will be played this year every Sunday

Life.The Case Batfled (he Family Doctor and He Gave It Up\u2014Relief Came When Hope Had Almost Gone \u2014 Henlth Again Restored.From the Tilsonbarg Observer.Mr.J.W.Kennedy, who resides on the 8th concession of the township of Baykam, is one of ihe most respected farmers in the township.Recently an Observer representative visited his home for the puspose of learning the particulars of the recovery of his daughter, Miss Alice Kennedy, from a severe and trying illness, through the use ot Dr.Willlam's Pink Pills, aiter medical assistance had failed.Miss Kennedy now presents the appearance c¢f a healthy and active young woman of twenty and bears no indication of having passed through an illness that baffled the doctors\u2019 skill.To the reporter Miss Kennedy said that in the autumn of 1893 she was taken ill and a physician was called: in, Despite all the doctor did for her she continued to grow worse.She suffered rom severe headaches, became very pale, rapidly lost flesh, and her limbs were cold and swollen.She suffered great pain and it was with much difficulty she could move about, and would sometimes lie for hours in a half stapor.At last the doctor said he could do nothing more for her, and the family asked his advice as to her using Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills, He said he was of the opinion that they would not help her.In spite of this adverse opinion, however, she determined to give them a trial, and before the first box was finished the wisdom of the decision was made manifest.An improvement was noticed and with joy Miss Kennedy continued taking the Pills until she had used fourteen boxes, when she felt that she was completely cured.She has not taken any since the early summer and has not had any recurrence of her old trouble, and never felt better in her life.Indeed Miss Kennedy says that as a result of the Pink Pills treatment she has guined 25 pounds in weight.A short time after she began the use of the Pink Pills the doctor who had previously attended her called and was much surprised at the improvement in the young lady\u2019s appearance, and said that if Pink Pllls had caused the transformation by all means to continue their use.Miss Kennedy\u2019s statements were corroborated by her father and sister, both of whom give all the credit for her marvellous recovery to Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills.Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills are especially valuable to women.They build up the blood, restore the nerves and eradicato those troubles which make the lives of so many women, old and young, a burden.Dizziness, palpitation of the heart; nervous headache and nervous prostration epeedily yield to this wonderfal medicine.They are also a specific in cases of locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St.Vitus\u2019 dance, sclatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, the after effects of ta grippe, ete.In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from overwork, mental worry or excesses of any nature.They are sold only in boxes, the trade mark and wrapper printed in red Ink, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.- 50, and may be had of drugdists or direct by mail from Dr.Williams\u2019 Medicine Company, Brockville, Ont., or

WHAT IE SAID AT THE CHENIER MONUMENT UNVEILING.A Rcbuke to the Bourbons and the Irreconcilublys, The brief reports of Mr.H.C.Saint Pierre's address at the unveiling of the Chenier monument, which appeared in the press having created a great deal of comment, the Herald gives the latter part of the specen in full: Gentlemen,\u2014He would be sadly in error who would believe that it was the hand of hatred which has erected Che- nier\u2019s statue, prompted by a desire to F.rpetuale remembrances of a time now long gone by, remembrances which, in our days, would have no longer any cause to exist.For a period ol nearly sixty years the breath of time has blown over the events of those days; a whole generation has disappeared, and after such full and compiete reparation as has been extended to our people, what need would there be for us to disturb dust so long accumulated in order to hunt up some sad remnants of events the like of which will never recur again ?No, gentlemen, the only sentiment which has inspired the promoters of this public tri- tule to Chenier\u2019's memory has been one of gratitude for the hero who gave his life for the cause of his countrymen, and who thereby secured for them liberty.It is not defeat, with its train of rancour and hatred which Chenier's monument is intended to recall to our memory, but viciory, with its joys and its soothing influence; it is the advent of that new era which opened the way for liberty with all her bicssings.Gentlemen, you are all aware of the fact that I am no politician.This plain ceclaration on my part will not, I trust, lead you to believe that I am for that reason any the less attached to my country and to my French-Canadian countrymen, but it may help to convince you that as I have no political interest to serve I may be considered to be iree from any political shackles when I discourse with you about the duties which\u2019 I deem to be incumbent upon us I'rench-Canadians under the rcgime by which we are now governed, and which is that of our choice.We are now forming part of a confederation, and the ancient Province of Lower Canada, now the Province of Quebec, is the only one wherein the French language is the language of the country.There are to be found among us such as are in constant fear that the French language should become obsolete and who are on the watch on every possible occasion lest we might deviate from the old path and abandon the traditions of our fathers.Nay, more, there is a group, but fortunately an inconsiderable one, I must say, composed of men, who, like the Bourbon princes, have learned nothing and forgotten nothing, and who will now and then turn their eyes towards the mouth of the St.Lawrence River, in the hope of descrying from afar floating under the blue sky, not the modern tricolor flag of France forsooth, but the white ensign with its royal emblem of fleur-de-lys, such as waved in the breeze in the musty old times of Louis XV.For God's sake, gentlemen, do not flatter your fancy with such pbsurd chimeras.Let those good souls enjoy their dreams if it contributes in any degree to their happiness, but do not allow yourselves to be gulled into such an insanc delusion and believe that civil- lization will some day stop in her career and roll our destinies backward for a period of nearly two hundred years in order that we might again enjoy the more than doubtful blessings of the reign of King Louis XV.Thank God, Louis XV.is dead, and his reign is now forever à thing of the past.As to the tricolor flag of the French Republic, it can hardly be expected that it will ever appear on our borders as an ensign, carrying within its fold any message of disruption for the Dominion of Canada any more than the Bourbon flag has proved to be in the past.Gentlemen, history tells us that after Chevalier.de Levis had redeemed the lustre of the French arms by his brilliant victory on the St.Foy Road, under the walls of Quebec in the spring of 1760, he fortified his camp and awaited thé reinforcements which he expected would be sent from the mother country.Day after day his anxious eye plunged far into the misty atmosphere of the St.Lawrence, watching intently in the far distance the sail which was to bring the long looked for hope.But the sail never appeared.It was an English fleet which came instead, and de Levis, sad and disheartened, raised his camp and retreated towards Montreal, where a few months later the French Governor was compelled to capitulate.Wor more than a century our fathers, like Chevalier de Levis, have been watch ing for that sall; but it never came, and like Chevalier de Levis they had to give up all hopes.(Gentlemen, it is time.that we should rid our mind of this other chimera.You may rest assured that no sail will ever appear in sight.It is time therefore that we should turn our gaze in another direction, and aban don the realm of dreams for the land of actual reality.A few years ago, being in company with a deputation of aldermen on board of one of these French men-of-war which now and then visit our shores, I was requested to utter a few words of welcome to the commandant af the ship and his oïficers.% have no intention to inflict upon you a repetition cf ail I \u2018said on that occasion, but there is one part of my address which I desire to make known to you.K'aking !the itinerary which the ship had followed in its course I first pointed out to the commandant all the spots wherein deeds of valor had teen performed by the French in the olden times and I then wound up with the following Words: \u201cCommandant you have seen all those spots and will no doubt treasure up all the glorious reminiscences which you have gathered; but let us not pause half way; you have scen something else also which must not be forgotten nor passed over in silence; at Quebec you have seen the old eita.del, garrisoned by soldiers almost every one of whom is a French-Canadian; you have been welcomed in his palace by the Lieutenant-Governor, of the Province of Quebec, a French-Canadian, who ad) dressed you in the French language; you have seen our House of Assembly and our Legislative Council ~ composed for more than three-fourths of French-Can- adians, discussing matters of state in the French language.If you have visited our Court Houses, you must have heard lawyers of British origin arguing their cases in French; you have seen the tricolor flag of France floating freely everywhere throughout the whole country.Now, we are the loyal subjects of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, :ithat you arc fully aware of; but at the sight of all you saw did it not strike you that if pn the one hand we had pledged our loyalty to the Queen, on the other hand we have been well rewarded for it.\u201d In reply, the French commandant, alluding to this passage of my speech, said: \u201cGentlemen, you have conquered liverty and almost independence, watch carefully over what you have so suc- cesstully secured.I know of many a people who would count themselves happy and satisfied il they could enjoy such freedom as you possess.\u201d The reply was a frank and honest one, but none other than I had reason to expect from this honorable man.And I also will tell you: ' You have literty and almost independence.Keep that well and never feel for a moment tempted to abandon for a mess of pottage whal has now become your birthright.This, however, does not entail any necessity on your part to drop your language, your laws and your usages, and customs, Let us be French, but for ourselves only, for our own sake, not for the sake nor for the benefit of France.We owe nothing to France.Our ancestors gave her the best of their blood, and in return the King, who was then the naster of his destinies, ceded and sold our country to England.We must infer from that bargain that France cared indeed very little whether we became Anglicised or not.Qur ancestors, however, in spite of all opposition, were faithful to their origin, tliey remained French, and we also, their children, will remain French, but French for ourselves, French as the French of Belgium, French as the French of Switzerland are French; that is to say, we will irst and foremost love our country and our countrymen, no matter what nationality they may have originated from.\u201cAvant tout, soyons Canadiens.\u201d Are not the Scotch, the English and the Irish with whom we are living, and who are forming with us the population of Canada, proud, like ourselves, of their origin ?Do they not every year celebrate the day dedicated to the patron saint of their respective nationalities, as we ourselves celebrate our St.Jean Baptiste Day ?Let us be faithful to our laws, to our traditions, to our language, but understand nie well, let it not be to the detriment of our interest in the Dominion of Canada.Be carcful lest you isolate our province from the remainder of the country, and thereby deprive it of its legitimate sare of influerce and control.Let us make it a rule to learn the English language, let that language be taught in every school; it is the essential condition of the continuation of our influence.If our Laurier, of whom we are so legitimately proud, has been raised to the highly honorable station of leader of Her Majesty's Opposition and of leader of the great Liberal party in Canada it is because he has become a master of the English language.Would you believe Laurier to be less of a good French-Canadian because h¢ has learned to speak with propricty the language of the majority ?Surely no.For quite a number among us, it would seem as if the limits of our country were on one side the Baie des Chaleurs, and on the other the boundary lines of the Province of Ontaric.French-Canadians, my countrymen, open your eyes; look well around you; your country is that immense expanse of territory which stretches from one ocean to the other.It spans with its compass the dimension of a glorious empire.This is your patrimony.Everywhere in this immense territory vou are in your own country, you are at home.I would like to see the denizen of Toronto, of London, of Hali\u2018ax, feel that he is among his own people when in Quebec, in Montreal or Three- Rivers ; in like manner, I would like to see the French-Canadians from Quebec or Montreal greeted as a citizen, as a brother, when in Toronto, London, Hamilton or Halifax.We have met to-day for the purpose of doing homage to a great patriot, to a devoted friend of liberty, I can think of no truer way by which I may pay this tribute than by imploring my countrymen to profit by the precious advantages which he has conquered for us at the cost of his blood and of his life.In doing so, I feel that I am voicing his own sentiments, for I am convinced that it the bronze which here represents his features were for a moment to become animated with his former spirit and his patriotism, he would tell his countrymen in the language of the poet : Equal in true valiance, ( British and French 4 sn , NOW «A brotherly Let us all join in holy alliance, { And press each other\u2019s hand.Egaux par la

Leading Episcopal Church, Endorses Dr.Agnew\u2019s Catarrhal Powder.A leader of the Episcopal denomination in Canada is the Rev.W.H.Wade, rector of the Church of the Ascension.Among the members of this church are numbers of the most wealthy and fashionable people of the Ambitious City, and beloved indeed is their rector.In his family he has used Dr.Az- new\u2019s Catarrhal Powder and been more than pleased with the good results oblain- ed.The satisfaction has been such that over his own signature he has frankly said to the people of Canada that this medicine is a good thing, and gives the relief that is ctaimed for it.One short puff of the breath through the Blower, supplied with each bottle of Dr.Agnew\u2019s Catarrhal Powder; diffuses this Powder \u2018over the surface of the nasal passages, Painless and delightful to use, it relieves in ten minutes and permanently cures Catarrh, Hay Fever, Colds, Headache, Sore Throat, Tonsilitis and Deafness.60 cents.Sample bottle and blower sent on receipt of two three-cent stamps.S.G.Detchon, 41 Church Street, Toronto 1 [Musical Matters.Mr.C.A.E.Harriss is home a few days trom a flying trip to England, whither he was called by a cablegram from Mr.Vert, the impressario, relative to Madame Al- bani\u2019s tour in America, which commences early in the new year.Montrealers will be especially glad to have the opportunity of again hearing Madame Albani, and her success when she comes here is a matter of certainty.Her reception will be warm, for Canadians are justly proud of her.She is at present resting in Switzerland.Mr.Harriss only had about a week's stay in London, but it seems to have teen a week very full of interest, to judge from the scraps of information he let drop during a snort talk I had with him a few nights ago.He stayed with Wat- kin Mills at his beautiful home {*Mill- vrooke,\u201d in Putney), and besides Lhe great baritone and his charming wite met many musical notables there, such as Mr.Blair, organist of Worcester Cathedral; Dr.Varley Loberts, organist of Magdalen College, Oxiord, and, like Mr.Harriss hirmseu, One of Sir Frederick Qusley\u2019s \u2018boys\u2019; Mr.Crowe and others où the artistic circle où à similar starmp, and these people are n.usicians, it must oe remembered, of the first water, though there is not so much advertisement and flourish of trumpets about them as the musicians enjoy on this side of the At- {antic, where an enterprising press chronicles their smallest movements with literary attractiveness.« % * Mr.Harriss also met Mme.Antoinette Stirling, the famous ballad singer, at her vila at Tatlow-on-the-Thames, and had a run in her steam launch as far as Cockham, during which he had the pleasure of hearing her in some of her sweetest ballads.\u2018 He also attended a rehearsal of the Carl Resa Opera Company previous to their starting out from London to opên the season in Dublin in such operas as \u201cLohengrin,\u201d \u201cIvanhoe,\u201d etc.and he was much struck with Miss Ella Russell, the English prima of the company, who, in a short conversation, expressed her wish to sing in America, which event may not be far distant.He also met George Grossmith, and saw his son act in the \u2018Shop Girl,\u2019 at the Gaiety, and thinks he is \u201ca chip off the old block.\u201d Grossmith will come to Canada in the spring.Watkin Mills is already booked for the Cincinnati festival, and will fill a number of engagements in Canada and the States in March, April and May.* + * To give a brief resume of some of the music Mr.Harriss heard during that short week would show what it is possible to hear there every day, and, which (though they would be \u201cevents\u201d here) are taken as a matter of course there and no fuss made about them, and it is enough at the very mention of them to make 4 musician\u2019s mouth water.For instance, at the Queen\u2019s Hall, where nightly promenade concerts are given, with an orchestra of 65.(The night in question Watkin Mills sang \u2018She Alone Charmeth My Sadness,\u201d from the \u201cQueen of Sheba,\u201d which he sang here several times and was not only applauded, but cheered to the echo).At Earls Court, which is a combination of all kinds of amusements, such as a Ferris wheel (only larger), menagerie, etc, and a fine building which has been improved from being a mere barn of a4 place into an illuminated palace.He there heard the band of the Grenadier Guards of forty pieces.At Albert Hall he heard the band of the Royal Artillery of 65.This band has a double equipment and can be either a string orchestra Or a brass band, so that its members, it will be understood, are of the pick of instrumentalists, as most of them must be able to play two instruments.The night in question they were string, and playcd a Wagner selection very fine.* Mr.Harriss feels great satisfaction at having been made a life member of the Ramsden Club.Dr.Ramsden is a very rich man and a great patron of art.He has a magnificent.collection of paintings, and started this club to bring together musicians and artists of all classes.\u2018There are about 200 members, among whom are Dr.Richter, who is the greatest conductor in the world.Dr.Ramsden asked immediately after Mr.John Ogllvie, of this city, for he had been with him on the Oregon when she went down, as a passenger, and he had a few minutes before the catastrophe sung Dibden's oid song, \u201cDown Among the Dead Men,\u201d little thinking that in the course of an hour or so they should all be in peril of their lives.Mr.Harriss came across several Canadians in London quite accidentally, such yas Mr.Geo.Percival (at the Criterion), and Mr.Ferguson, Q.C., of Ottawa, (strolling through Burlington Arcade), which is curious indeed in such a short stay in that immense city., * % 3 The French Opera House has undergone complete renovation, and the public will find it worthy of them when they see it.I only hope they will prove worthy of it and support it by their patronage, for over $20,000 subscription money has been put into the enterprise already, and a good company and repertoire have been prepared.I hope also to see that the English speaking public will patronize it liberally.It is a grand opportunity to come into contact with the art of the nation with which we are in such close touch in Canada, and nothing will go so far towards clearing away miserable little elements of racial prejudice as the mutual interchange and enjoyment of the product of the greatest gifts bestowed upon the human race, or stimulate mutual respect for the talents of our sister nation.French art is admirable, and most especially their mu- gic, which is superb, and no musical education can be comprehensive or complete without a study of it to enlarge the mental horizon.* * += I am glad to learn that Mr.Arthur Bienvenue is going to attend to the press work again this season.This gentleman is an amateur and a cultivated musician, but he possesses a quality rarer still, and that is reliability.The advance notices and critiques he will write can be relied upon as representing things as they are, and there will be no such circus advertising of \u2018the greatest, grandest and world unrivalled aggregation of talent\u2019 order such as too often prevents anyone reading an advance notice.I am personally aware that one disgruntled member of this administration last year, who did not appreciate the qualities of a truthful and incorruptible critic, was much disgusted because Mr.Bienvenu wrote things up as they were and not as they might have been and were not, but the directors in general had a better idea of the value of such attributes, and have treated him with unqualified approval.- Le Vie Theatrale gives the following interesting figures of the opera\u201c in Paris during May and June.In May the opera gave 18 performances, the takings making a total of 326,073 fr., or averaging 18,115 fr.per night; the month of May, 1894, averaging 18,112 fr.a performance.We see the remarkable phenomenon of the level of the average maintained with a difference of three francs from one year to the other.The biggest receipts figure as follows: May 3, + Faust,\u201d 21,584 fr., May 15, 20,906 fr., \u2018\u201c Faust;\u201d and \u201cFaust\u201d agaln on May 81, 19,219 fr.Two performances of \u201cTannhauser \u201d on May 22 and 29 have brought respectively 23,070 fr.and 22,984 fr.The minimum of receipts has been made with * Otello,\u201d to wit, 11,892 fr.There were only fourteen performances in June, averaging 20,390 fr.each.The Opera Comique gave, in May, 33 performances, with an average of 5,182 fr.per performance, or 57 fr.more than the average of last year in May.\u201cLa Vivandiere\u201d heads the list of successes with receipts ranging from 6,500 fr.to 8,500 fr.; the lowest ebb has been marked with 2,200 fr.to 2,509 fr.for \u201cMireille\u201d and * Paul cet Virginie.\u201d ; \u2019 HARMONY.The pedestrians who hasten past the Court House every day of the week in this world of the city of Montreal scl- dom pause to consider what comedics and tragedies of real iife are hourly cnacted within its walls.The immaculate whiteness of the interior, the freshness of the renovations from the swinging portals to the graceful dome, seem to accentuate the discord and the pitifulness of the drama of reality.and it seems all the more pitiful that humanity should be so sadly out of gear ws this legal beehive would indicate.When Balzac portrayed with his subtle pen the law courts of - Paris, when Dickens brought home to us with graphic force the legal structure of mighty London, these masters of thought and expression presented the gloomiest and dingiest structures as the scene of action.But here in this substantial edifice of grey stone only man is vile.The student of physiognomy who likes io read character in the facial mask finds a rich field in the Court House; the screne countenance of the upright judge, the shrewd face of the lawyer, the harassed visages of the contestants, the curious\u2014and often ignoble\u2014expres- sions où spectators run the entire range of expression of which humanity is capable.The expert can teli at a glance the man who is accustomed to the routine of the courts and the stranger half bewildered in the presence of the majesty of the law.It is easy to discern the habitue, the idler- who haunts the courts as though they were the theatres, the visitor who strays in for almost the first time.to witness the dispensation of justice, the evildoer, and the seeker after what is fair and equitable.In the vast and intricate multitude of judges, attorneys, jurymen, plaintiffs, defendants, witnesses that swarm in every department of what may be termed the \u2018union station,\u201d each type is discernible.The judge has a distinctive air of self- conscious dignity, either benign or assertive ; the lawyer, the badge of all his tribe in the shape of either a cockatoo- like restlessness or the calm reserve force of a gladiator prepared for or emerging from the combat; the juror, the manner of a man whose time is no longer his own, if, indeed, it is not being wasted ; the plaintiff, an aggrieved look only matched by the equally injured air of the defendant ; while the conventional witness is usually at a nervous tension that distinguishes him from the mere spectator.; One never knows at what moment the interest may develop itself.Counsel have been droning in perfunctory fashion through -a dull case in either the Appeal Court or one of the numerous sections of the Superior Court; the spectators in search of a sensation are disappointed.Only the presiding judge Is attentive.Suddenly the papers are disposed of or a decision rendered, and a new case comes up.In a moment the entire atmosphere of the court room is surcharged with human interest akin to electricity.The spectators \u201csit up,\u201d the little groups of Witnesses pro and con assemble, the counsel for the plaintiff and the counsel for the defendant prepare to make the \u201csparks fly,\u201d and presently one assists at sone revelation of a family skeleton or a business feud that is like a human document torn from the register of contemporaneous society.It is curious in this little world of the Court House how the atmosphere of the various apartments differ, and how one feels the fall in the social thermometer as one passes gradually from the Court of Appeal through the various departments of the Superior Court to the section in which the criminal cases are disposed of ; here there is an evil aspect, close air, (the presence of the great unwashed) formidable representations of low life, and altogether a distinct transition from the higher latitudes.One pities the judge more than the priscner, provided he is partial to taking untainted air into his lungs.While these tragedies and comedies are being played to empty benches in the Court of Appeal a case presents itself in the Court of Queen's Bench that possesses all the elements of a romance in real life, one of those domestic dramas that go to prove that French society did not monopolize terrifying cases in the days when Balzac laid bare the emotions of the law.courts.Mary Margaret Ryan.remettre Deniness.An essay describing a

isn't it ?After many weeks o.bathing, fishing, chewing gum and listening for the country hotel meal bell ii is picasant lo sit in one¢'s home and read wich delight and anticipation of the gooa things that the local managers have provided sor the ensuing season.Such attractions as Irving, Nethersole, Rehan, Hare, Melba and Saivini are rarc- ly promised in cities of Montreal\u2019s size in one season.Among the iesser bookings are comedies and dramas that will fill io thirty-five or forty weeks of really good ail-round performances.It is not likely that hypnotism will extend from Trilby into other sober plays, the only other experiment in that way having failed, but we may get it In farcical forms.The first \u2018star\u2019 actor to res sort to electricity is Stuart Robson, who will plg/

Irving, Nethersole, Rehan, Duse, Salvini, and possibly Walker Whitesides, and a few new people will look after thaï.* + - Al over the country the curtain may be said to be up.There can he no doubt as to the change for the better in the condition of actors and actresses.Despatches from all parts of the country tell of the eagerness with which new plays were received, and it is gratifying to know that the demand was well met.This is good news, because it gives poof to the gener ally shared beliof that the season -now started will be dnc of the best in the history of the American theatre, from a pecuniary point of view at least.Ofi course, many blanks will be drawn in the theatrical lottery, but the prizes will be rumerous cnough to compensate for these.> » LS Among the many companies now in New York city that are actively preparing for, ihe coming season is that of Alexander Saivini.Manager W.M.Wilkison announces that the coming tour which opens at Worcester, Mass., on September 2nd, will be confined to the Kastern States at least until after the holidays, about which time he has arranged for a long run in New York city.The standard drama of romance will continue to dominate the repertoire, though the elaborate scenic pro- durtion of Hamlet, which created so much comment last season, will be looked upon as the principal feature of lis engagements throughout the country.Mr.Sal- vèni's policy in the future will be the line où work with which his father was so fornously identified.The supporting company with this policy in view has been almost entirely changed since last season, and it should prove to ke one of the strongest legitimate organizations of the American stage.Mr.Salvini returned but a few days ago from his usual vaca- ti n in Europe.* I notice that Aubrey Boucicault has de- seited comic opera, and is now playing A.Caeever Stecle, known as \u2018Paul Clifford, the Globe Trotter\u201d in Louis de Large\u2019 new comic play of the .uame.Boucicault is fast coming to the front in the profession, and is certainly a very industrious and descrving young man, having created three new parts within three weeks previous to joining Rice\u2019s Comedy Company for the scason.In cach of the parts por- traycd he made a decidedly, favorable im- pre sion, ard was spoken most favorable cf by the New York press.« « 9 The Boston Globe in

American season is to bvgin on Sept.16.Toronto and Boston are to be visited immediately after the Montreal engagement, but on Oct.28, Mr.Irving, Miss Terry and their associates will appear in New York at Abbey's Theatre presumably in the new play of \u2018King Arthur,\u201d by J.Comyns-Carr.The s-ason is to last until May 16, 1596.The repertoire will in- clade \u2018'Macheth ?\u2018King

Canada.» Mrs.Langtry is not coming to America this srason.Edward Michael has just ar- rvd from Loidon with the authority to cancel all engagements made for her by her manager, T.Henry French.She will be compelled under her contract to pay very large forfeits.Ill-health is given as the reason for her failure to keep her engagements.Mr.French said to a reporter, \u2018l have booked Mrs.Langtry in

honors sit gracefully upon her; who long ago won them in all but name.Miss Rehan is now a fixed star in the bright galaxy of the American stage.Miss Rehan has been an apt pupil, but her hard work and Mr.Daly\u2019s careful tuition are not alone to be he credited with the results she has achieved.She has more than talent.She has genius of an unusual order.By the almost unanimous voice of those who speak with authority on matters dramatic, Miss Rehan has unhesitatingly been given the first place on the list of American actresses, and this home verdict has heen more than confirmed by the leading critics of London, who have given unqualified praise to her impersona- tons of the heroines of Shakespeare.Her art appeals to all who love what is best, most noble and most elevating in the theatre.Men rave over her, women admire her.No actress has struggled harder, worked more faithfully or more conscientiously than has she.What she has accomplished, and what she is, are due to her

Affects Each\u2014Sergeant Willison M.Copp and Mrs.John Dinwoodie.The Former Under 30 and the Latter Nenrly 50 Years of Age-Both Cured of Extreme Nervous Prostration by South American Nervine.Down by the sea, in the thriving town of Newcastle, N.B., resides Sergeant Willison M.Copp, a creditable representative of the militia of \u2018the Maritime Provinces.He is a young man under 30 years of age.This fact, however, did not prevent him a shogé time since suffering severely irom nervous prostration.It took a grip of him that looked as though his days were numbered.Quoting his own words : \u2018Friends and relatives despaired of my life.\u2019\u2019 \u2018He was in, fluenced, after every other effort had failed, to try South American Nervine, and it el- fected à complete cure.No wonder he says : \u201cThis remedy is the best on earth.\u2019 Mrs.John Dinwoodie of Flesherton, Ont.) is a lady who has reached well nigh to four score years of age.She has been a resident of Flesherton for forty years.Everybody knows her, and krows that her word is as good as her bond.Three years ago, through the loss of a beloved daughter, she became prostrated with nervous trouble.No medicine or doctors\u2019 skill did her any good.Sorrow and age appeared to combine to number her days.But it was not to be so.South American Ngrvine came to her relief.She took twelve bottles of the medicine; with the result that to-day she is in the enjoyment of the best of health and her shattered nerves have again become healthy and strong.The secret of South American Nervine is that it immediately works on the nerve centres, through which comes all disease, and this being the case it matters not whether one is young or old, this medicine is certain to effect a cure.A Gentle Dun, While R.D.Apperson, manager of the Augusta electric light plant, was wiring the residence of Dr.A.M.Henkel, this city, he found in the garret between the roo! and the baseboard a number of old papers in a good state of preservation.Among them was a little dun couched in the courteous language of the old school.It was addressed to \u2018Gen.Robert Porter- field, Augusta County, Virginia,\u201d and came through the mail, the Norfolk post mark and date being fairly legible.It reads : si Fort Norfolk, Feby.10th, 1810.r, After expressing my sorrow to you for the loss of yquyr promising son, and my

Ottawa, Sept.6.\u2014The several newspapers inroughout the week prepared Line public to expect a celebration on Labor Day that would eclipse every previous labor demonstration.When the eventful day urrived tnousands turned out to see the grand parade that was to give the Kcynote to the day's festiviuies.Fortunately for the Knights of Labor, it was not the true keynote, because, on the whole, it was a dismal failure.True, some of those taking part made a fine display, notably the Experimental Farm, but the lack of life that was all too prominent.was owing to a division in the ranks of the Knights of Labor.The contingency from Hull was headed by Napoleon Fauteux, the leader of the Chaudiere strike three years ago.Driving in the parade were Sir James Grant, M.P., Mayor Borthwick, Ald.McGuire, Grant, Davis, Payment, Champagne, Martelock, Dalglish and Lauzon.\u2018the procession wended its way through the streets until it reached Cartie'r dquare, and there Mr.Keith, of the Trades and Labor Council, introduced Mayor Borth- wick, who was received with hearty applause.Sir James Grant, M.P., was then called upon, and, in his usual eloquent and effective manner, deiivered a stirring patriotic address.Ald.McGuire, \u201cthough unaccustomed to public speaking,\u201d made a few happy remarks that brought the morning's proceedings to a close.\u2018Thousands went out to Lans- downe Park in the afternoon to see the sports and à well-matched game of lacrosse between the Almontes and Pres- montes.The whole demonstration was not much of a success, bearing out the cynical remark of a bystander, \u2018\u2018that labor couldn't demonstrate worth a cent when it was well fed.\u201d A few weeks ago the Trades and Labor Union wrote to the various clergymen in the city, asking them to make labor the subject of their evening services on Sunday last.Rev.Dr.Saunders, Rev.J.Bogart and Rev.R.E.Knowles were the only ones who found it convenient to respond.A large congregation gathered in the Stewarton Presbyterian Church to hear the Rev.Mr.Knowles.He took for his text, \u201cThe rich and poor meet together, the Lord is the maker of them all.\u201d He ro'nted out the comnion ground to rich and poor in the gilts and endowments which are to toth altke.He then made reference to the rights of the working classes, and deplored the inflammatory character of speeches frem both ministers and lecturers, emphasizing the breach between capital and labor.\"One would think,\u201d said Mr.Knowles, \u201cthat Jesus Christ had provided the Golden Rule only as a club to be brandished by the poor about the heads of the rich; but it is not s0.The rich in many cases are the best friends of the poor.Socialism fs as unreasonable as dangerous.God never intended men to be equally con- dowed, except with equal responsibility for the use of such gifts as they have.\" Mr.Knowles then emphasized the responsibility which all employers have for the moral \u2018nterests of thelr employes, such as that of the Mistress for the Maid, \"althouzh,\"\u201d he continued, \u201ccoming generations will refer to this age as the age of slavery, except that it may be the slavery of the mistresses.\u201d He insisted on the rights of the work- Ingman, the right to work, the right to the higher plsasures of existence, the delights of mind, the pursuit of knowledge, the sweets of domestic life.Mr.Knowles contended \u2018that a larger share of the ruling of the country should be in the hands of the workingman.Ilus- trious precedents riove his abllity to govern.Only when labor

business men, and farmers, have discussed the subject, and today Paine\u2019 Celery Compound has a reputation and fame in the district that no other medicine ever possessed.Mrs.Parsons writes very briefly, but tu the point; she says: \u201cI am delighted to sand my testimony regarding your most valuable medicine, Paine's Celery Compound.\u2018Some time ago I had Grippe, which left me so lame and weak that for six months I could not get up without help.I told my husband that nothing else nut Paine\u2019s Celary Compound could help mr, after other medicines and doctors had failed.\"After taking several hottles of Paine's Celery Compound I feel that I am cured; I can pow walk and go up and down stain with ease, and do all my housework.Under the blessing of Ged and your Paine\u2019s

his followers, but it may be that the henevolence of the Japanese owes tte oririn te fear as well as love, since they are Dehévers in transmizration, and Buddha says, \u201cThy future birth win de
