Must Close.SONE 00D LIBERAL SPEECHES, Mr.MeShane Has a Rap at Sir C.H.Tupper\u2014 Montreal Has a Vigorous Representative at Last, (Special to the Herald.) Ottawa, Feb.27.\u2014The penultimate day of the budget debate, which has lasted for a whole month, was occupied by Liberal speakers, the Government giving up after Mr.Stairs, of Halifax, a sugar refiner, had defended their sugar duties.Mr.McShane spoke at the evening sitting, and showed once more that Montreal has at length got a live representative, Although suffering from a cold he spoke well, and declared his intention of devoting himself to keeping the interests and claims of Montreal before the Government.On the orders of the day being called, Dr.Weldon rese and read an extract from the Mail and Empire of yesterday, as follows: \u201clt is no secret that, owing to a long\u2019 standing quarrel, the personal relations or Dr.Weldon and Sir Charles Tupper have since 1888 been somewhat stralned, yer it was never supposed that this would lead him to seek to encompass the destruction of a man-who has for | 40 years served) the country, and, afters handling hundreds of millions, is to-day without a blemish on his character.\u201d Dr.Weldon added: I wish to say, Mr.Speaker, thar it there is a long standing personal quarrel I don\u2019t know it.(Hear, hear, from Bir Charles Tupper.) Sir Charles.Tupper\u2014I am equally ignorant of it, Mr.Speaker.Mr.Choquette; asked if the \u2018Government was aware that Sir John Thompson had received the following letter, and what reply had been made to it: \u201cSt; Albert, March 5,18924 \u201cTo the Hon.Sir John Thompson, Minister of Justice: \u201cHon.and dear sir,\u2014Has the Legislature or the Northwest the right to impose on us, in our Catholic schools, Protestant inspectors You would confer a great favor on us, dear sir, if you would kindly state to us, in confidence, what you think on this subject.The object is to destroy our separate and Catholic schools in/ the Northwest, and, finding it impossible to do away with them completely at present, our legislators, the great majority of whom are Protestants, are determined at any price to prevent them from working.It is with that view that they now want to thrust upon us Protestant inspectors.\u201cAccept, hon.and dear sir, the assurance of our cordial and devoted respect.*Signed) + VITAL, J.O0.M.L \u201cBishop of St.Albert.td ALBERT PASCAL, OMI, \u201cVic.Ap.of Saskatchewan.\u201d Mr.Dickey replied that the Government had no knowledge of the letter.Mr.Stairs, junior member for Halifax, being interested in the sugar refining | industry, devoted his speech on the budget to replying to thet \u2018criticisms on the \u2018sugar duties made by Messrs.Mec- Mullen and Dawson.He denied that refiners were making large profits, and agserted that the refinery with which he was connected made not a cent during the fiscal year 1894-95, Since the three refineries were amalgamated they had not made more than six per cent.on tee cost, which was not an excessive profit.In May, 1895, the refiners had not such large stocks as was represented and the cause of the heavy importations at that time were due ta the exceptional cheapness of raw sugar.There was nothing in the transaction reflecting upon either the refiners or the Government.There were cases where the re-imposition of the duty was a loss to the refiners and in many of them did not expect it.Mr.Davies\u2014Do you believe we get our pagar as cheap as any other people in the world?ts Mr.Stairk replied that we did, but{ on seeing how this reply was received by the Opposition immediately qualified it by adding: \u201cConsidering the quality and cost of production.\u201d Thcg: was no monoroly in the industry, the competition B.iween refine ##® never having been so keen as to-day.He summed uy his arguments by decl: ng that the industry was a benefit to Canada in every way, and gave cheap sugar to the people.> ?4 Hon.D.C.Fraser said the item under discussion was like every other in the tarif.Haoh industry .was like a client with a soiicitor at court, whose duty it was to prove that it was o?benefit to Canada.If there were no special privileges there would be no special pleading of this sort.It was apsurd to say that prosperity was proved by the success of an individual or a compzny here and there.If protection was a real benefit to the farmer there would be more farmers in the country, and in the provinces by the sea there would not be a loss of 20,000 farmers.That there was something wrong in the policy of the Government was proved by the growth of \u2018fhe Patrons of Industry, whose literature might be studied with advantage by by members of the party opposite.Several of the opinions of prominent Patrons were quoted by Mr.Fraser to prove that protection is [ruining the farming classes.After dealing with the decrease in population ind other matters Mr.Fraser said the only remedy was a change in the Government or the levying of taxation on the people So that each and every one, without favor to any, should pay his just share of the taxes.The hon.member for Guysboro spoke eloquently o! a future when trade should move freely as the natural demand for products required, but while reaifirming his belief in absolute free trade as an ultimate end he advocated for the present a tariff for revenue only.No bright manufacturer need fear, or would fear, competition, and would be more prosperous without protection.He wittingly arraigned the Government supporters for blackening England because it suited their miserable policy to do so, and concluded by a splendid peroration in praise of the old land and her trade policy.As there was no Government supportey to reply to Mr.Fraser Mr.Campbell followed and dealt with the question of expenditure.\u2018He pointed out how the Tory promises of filling the Northwest had fallen off, and condemned the inac~ tive immigration policy of the Government.Coming from a constituency lying close to the States (Kent), the hon, member was able to speak from long experience of the restraints placed upori trade and; of the benefits which would and others.Another meeting will be held in a few days.- on the school question, | accrue from reciprocity.Mr.Edwards spoke, in favor of the Ot4 frauds of the customs.Men who PRICE ONE CENT.tawa and Georgian Bay Canal scheme, which he believed would be of reat) value to the Northwest and would build up Montreal and Quebec.\u2018He denounced all proposals to impose an export duty on saw logs and pulp wood, and, if imposed, believed it would be likely to lead to import duties being levied by the States on Canadian lumber, which would, mean; a loss to Canada of over two mil lions annually.\u2018The reason so many saw logs went, over the line to be sawn; into lumber was\u2019 that they were driven there by the policy of the Government.Among all the speakers he remarked that no one had pointed out the necessity of protecting\u2019 our forests from fire, Mr.McShane made a very good Speech, which was listened to with great attention.He referred to the interference of the combinesters in his election.One of these was in the sugar business, which was so well protected.As an instance he quoted the duty on refined syrup, which was; 1 1-20 per gallon in 1891, at which a good business Was done, but as it did not suit the refiners it was increased to Tc in 1894, 4This was an outrage on the poorer classes of the country.staple article of food, and was protected to the extent of lc a pound.\u2018There is only one rice mill in Canada, which is enabled to get 8c for what costs it 1 5-8c.If it was not for the National Policy the poor would get their rice a cent a pound.cheaper.Mr.McShane took the opportunity Ko refute Major McLennan\u2019s charges against cheese exporters made\u2019 the other night, and read several letters from Montreal [cheese men denying those charges.The che: ge held in Montreal at the end of last season was not in the hands o! speculators, but genuine dealers, and a good deal of the June and July make belonged to English dealers, who took advantage of Montreal\u2019s storage bivantages., Mr.McLennan\u2019s charges were not only un- provable and unworthy o! a gentleman of his position, but were calculated to hurt the dairy interests of Canada in the old country.One of the letters quoted by Mr.McShane sald: \u201cYou are the only live man we have had for years to represent us,\u201d a sentiment which was received with cheers.the general trade question the hon.member said: \u201cNever was the trade of the city of Montreal or its shipping in such a low state; never have there been so few men employed on the wharves, and yet we are told day after day that the country is rosp:ring.is needed; but we know why we have not got it yet.The occupants of the Treasury benches are afrald to rise like men and say they will get out.\u201cWe know that they cannot bring themselves to give up the spolls of office.Why, my dear Mr.Speaker, the National Policy has been a ruinous one for the country.(Hear, hear.)

Mr.Grieve followed.Mr.J.Pollock Brown, Chateauguhy, moved the adjournment of the debate, and the House rose.at 2.05.SWEATING INVESTIGATION.The report of the Ccmmittee on Legislation of the Trades and T.abor Council have disapproved strcmgly of the manner in which Mr.Wright, of Toronto, had looked into the sweating system in this city.The report claimed that he must have imperfectly performed his duties or he would have found more; instances demanding attention \u2018than he arpeared to have noticed.Mr Wright\" was too busily engaged in Cape Breton electing Sir Charles Tupper to attend to the sweating business.SENATORIAL WORK.In the Senate this afternocn Chairman Kirchaffer presented a report fom the Divorce Committee stating that the committee had been furnished with proof that official summons had been person- ly served \u2018uron the parties in the application for divorce of James Pearson, barrister, of Toronto, frcm his wife, Minnie Holccmbe Pearson, of Brooklyn, N.Y.The committee also recom- {mended that a petition c£ Helen Wood- burn Jarvis, of \u2018Toronto, asking \u2018that certain documents fyled with the committee last session in connection with her application for divorce from her husband, be granted.The report was adopt- Senalor McInnis, British Columbia, called attention to the fact that the Dominion Government steamer Quandra has only been in commission about eight months in each year, and enquired if it was the intention of the Government to keep her continually in commission in the future, with a view to promote the fishing and shipping interests of British Columbia.Speaking to his question, Senator McInnis said if the vessel was kept in continuous commission she might be success ully employed in addition to her present duties in per- feeling the survey of the provincial coast line; locating new {fishing banks; col- letcting fishing licenses and in preventing American poathers from fishing in Canadian waters.The whole additional cost would not exceed, he said, $6,000 a vear.Sir Mackenzie Bowell said that the representatives of British Columbia in the Commons had already brought the matter to the attention of the Government, and that it was receiving due consideration.The growing importance of the fisheries of the province and the of the fisheries of the province and the Increasing demands for further protection to the customs revenue were sirong arguments in favor of complying with the demands made along the lines suggested by the hon.Senator, and he hoped that soon the Government would be in a position to place a larger and faster vessel in commission on the Pacific Coast.\u2019 Messrs.Tarte, Fraser, Landerkin and Bain left for Hamilton to-night to attend the banquet of Young Liberals ere.THE KING'S DAUGHTERS.Yesterday's session of the King\u2019s Daughters was very interesting and wag held at Assembly Hall in the High School, Bishop Bond Presiding.His Lordship addressed the meeting on the important dignity of being King\u2019s Daughters, explaining that the privilege of being daughters of the king also entailed consistent responsibilities.Mrs.Dick- enson and Mrs.Davis delivered addresses on the work of the King\u2019s Daughters.Rev.J.Osborne Troope also said a few words.Suitable sclos alternatc the addresses, and lent additional gi+ traction to the services: Rice was a Speaking on A change WARMING UP ~ OVER CUBA.Debates in the House and Senate at Washington.RECOGNITION AS BELLIGERENTS, Several Speakers Grow Eloquent ove.the Wrongs of the People Who Are Striving For freedom.Washington, Feb.27.\u2014In the House to-day Mr.Hitt, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, presented the Cuban resolutions just adopted by his committee.\u2018Their presentation was the signal for a scene of wild enthusiasm.Several times during the reading \u2018the clerk was interrupted with rounds of ringing applause from the floor and the galleries, and the reference to \u2018\u2018intervention, if necessary,\u201d was greeted, with cheers.: On the conclusion of the reading Mr.Sulzer (Dem., N.Y.) jumped to his feet and asked, in view of the great public Interest in the question ralsed by the resolutions, that they be made a special order for Tuesday next.Mr.Meredith (Dem., Virginia) suggested that it be passed immediately.More cheers and loud applause greeted this suggestion.Mr.Hitt, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said that the committee would ask the earliest possible consideration of the resolution.The resolutions adopted by the committee were as follows: .Resolved, by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, that in the opinion of Congress a state of public war exists in Cuba, the parties to which are entitled to belligerent rights, and the United States should observe a strict neturality between the belligerents;

Resolved, That the United States has not intervened in siruggles between any Quropean government and their colonies on this continent, but from the very close relation between the people of the United States and those of Cuba in consequence of its proximity and the extent .ples the present w losses upon the people of \u2018the United States that Congress is of opinion that the Government of the United States should be prepared\u2019 to protect legitimate interests of Americans by intervening if.necessary;

that his challenge lay over until next year, 1897, and stated that\u2019 it would have been impossible under any circumstances for him te have raced in August of this year.Mr.Hope's withdrawal,was also probably based on the objections raised by G.H.Duggan, the Canadian chalq lenger, who did) not carq for a triangular race.As Mr.Duggan\u2019s challenge had first call, the Seawanhaka Club could not bring about: a triangular race without his consent.: HOCKEY.i \u2014\u2014\u2014 [A \\ MONTREAL WINS THE CUP.That coveted cup went to Montreal last night after cne of the fiercest and closest contests of the season, bar none.The fact that it was an intermediate match did not prevent several well known players qualified for senior honors taking wa very active part.Taking the teams of last night as a whole, either one of them could have made a fair showing against any team in the senior league.With such \u201cjuniors\u201d to from neither Montreal nor Victoria has Reed to fear that material Will be lacking to fill up the vacancies in the first gevens.F.IC.Chittick, of Ottawa, made a most efficient and satisfactory referee, The umpires were Messrs.Shearer and Eadie, : The teams lined up as follows: Vics\u2014Cheese, goal;

Such was the situation when a determined rush of the Vids\u2019 forward line resulted in the puck being slammed through by |W.Gillelan, thus equalizing the score.i Time was called without any further advantage being scored, and the referea at once ordered the teams) to go \u2018on play ing.They did so, and, after some of the hardest play and closest checking seen on the Victoria Rink, during which Wil- litt was laïd; out, the final and decisive game was scored for Montreal by Fer- nie.Montreal therefore won *\u2018for keeps\u2019 the Intermediate cup and the honors pertaining thereto.1!

In the first two acts the fawning, bassion-stricken courtesan only gives place tb shrewish outbursts of Jealous amger, but in the third act, when she realizes that her groundless wrath has ruinetl her lover, she becomes a warrior in an instant, and sugh a warrior! If one could imagine an enraged tigress, foiled and baffled before a superior power, and wrecking by every shade and (variety of magnificent animal protest against its fate, the simile would still fall short, for with the barbarous abandon of anger there is a wily! cunning in her attempts to gain time and splendor in the outburstg of her despair such as only the superiority of the human nature could, dictate.Description of the third act is impossible, it is a bewilderment, and when the curtain falls upon it one feels stunned by the rapidity and force of itis action.Conscioup-stricken despair, passionate love, a womanly shrinking at the agonizing torture and hatred of the tormentor show forth als vividly as so many different colors, whilst in the ful- nesis of abandonment there is no rough- fesls or awkwardness or excess, but all Is realism and art differentiated and equiroised.\u201cLa Tosca\u201d is a star piece.The only other character of any great account is Scarpia, which was admirably played by M.Deval.The other characters are necessary to fill in the Mosaic and are well, If not, strikingly drawn.Scenic display there was not, except in the costuming which wag, of course, agp propriate and rich.\u2018The brutal calmness with which Scar- Kia viewed the despair of Floria wag in fine contrast to the unbridled passion eh displayed in the supper scene and the character has veen sironsgly and well drawn.; The audience was as usual large and warmly enthusiastic, and the performance will not leave the memory for this generation and will be handed on tothe next In many a recital more ors less Eicturesque.The Laval students have decided to attend the Academy Saturday night.À large number will be present and a special programme will be provided.FOR THE SAMARITAN HOSPITAL.One of ihe best amateur dramatic entertainments ever given in this city was that of last evening at the Queen's Theat e.And it was hefore an audience of the most elite of Montreal society.It had for its object a deserving charity, namely, the aid of the Samaritan Free Hospital for Woinen, and the promoters were gratified beyond measure at the success their exertions met with in drawing a crowded house, In fact the approval has been s0 spontaneously manifested that a special matinee will be given to-morrow afterncon.\u201che entertainment was under the distinguished patronage of Their Excellencies Lord and Lady Aberdeen and the following lady patronesses : Lady Hickson, Lady Hingston, Lady Van Horne, the Mayoress, Lady Grant, Ottawa ; Mesdames Baumgarten, Henshaw, Benyon, Ogilvie, Hugh Ailan, Wheeler, and Mrs.H.Montagu Allan.The programme was a brilliant one, and did mut credit to its directors.Those to \u2018fill th?various roles did so almost to perfection, and one from the first lost sight of the entertainment\u2019s being an amateur one, so excelient the acting and beautiful the tableaux.\u201c A Happy Pair,\u201d a comedietta, commenced the performance.Cast : Mrs.Hon- eytoin, Miss May Reynolds; Mr.Honey- ton, Mr.Walter Townsend.It was a clever little piece of acting descriptive of the quarrel and \u201cmake up\u2019 of a devoted pair.Both actor and actress were enthusiastically applauded, and Miss Reynolds ncaa ._.haunied chamber.was presented with a beautiful basket of roses.This was succeeded by a tableau under the direction of Mr.Edwin Varney, Jr, who, by the way, has in this entertainment renewed the success which he has formerly gained in presenting amateur attractions before: the Montreal.public, entitled \u201cThe Haunted Chateau, or the Spend- thrifi\u2019s Dream.\u201d -The story is that a young noble, on.inheriting his mother 3 fortune, leaves home for Paris, where he commences to squander his means.HIS aged father Is heartbroken, and So 1S the beautiful young niece who lives with him.To al: supplications to abandon hs gay life and return home he turns a de.ear.Come at last to the end of his Money, he decides to sell an old cheateau, the last of fis possessions, which is said to be haunted, the country folk affirming that at midnight a lady in white wanders throigh the deserted chambers.To disprove this rumor the young mail decides to pass the night preceding the sale in the The young cousin, who has never ceased to love him, hearing this, with: the help of an old retainer, hides in the chamber, disguised as the spectre, and hopes to show him the error of his ways and win back his Jove.The lovers are reunited.It was a beautiful piece in clever tableaux.Those taking part were: Mrs.Cecil Gordon, Miss Davidson, Mise Estelle O\u2019Brien, Miss Louise Brown, Mr.Horan, Mr.Cecil Gordon, Mr.\u2018Alister Mitchell, Mr.Try-Davis, Mr.Bell- house.Mr.Stewart Wotherspoon.Master Maurice Francis Walsh created one of the sensations of the evening by his recitation as \u2018Gallant George, the Gentleman Jockey.\u201d He is one of Mr.Varney's pupils, and by the way in which he delivered his lines did credit to his instru~icr and won immense applause from the audience.Tableau second was gorgeously beautiful, the scene of a gipsy camp.Two lovers having a quarrel, they each go to the gipsy canip alone and have their fortunes told, and there they are reconciled.It includes nine tableaux, and the parts were taken by Miss Adelaide Cooke, Miss Kane, the Misses Doucet, Miss Ella Nelson, the Misses Gascoigne, Miss Laura Smith, Miss Ada Beaujeu, Miss Deschard, Miss Olga St.George, Miss Edith Shorey, Messrs.Buchanan, Donner, Cecil Gordon, Amos, Harries and Master St.George.Tableau three was entitled \u2018\u201cThe Empire\u2019s Strength, or Britain\u2019s Call to arms.Those taking part were Miss Knight, Miss Austin, Miss Lilly Dalglish, Miss Savage, Miss Clouston, the Misses Foy, Miss Simpson, Mi.Randall Davidson, Mr.Savage, Mr.Robt.Reid, Mr.Clancy, Mr.MacKay, The performance conçluded with a humorous comedietta entftled \u2018\u2018Bubkles.\u201d\u201d It was funny, and delighted the audience.The performers were Messrs.Leopold Gal- arneau, E.R.Ricketts, Wm.Bentham, Mackie Edgar, Miss Blanche Dalglish, Miss Pauline Townsend and Miss May Reynolds.\u201cA SOCIAL HIGHW AYMAN.\u201d It was to be expected that the success of May 1.Stone's dramatization of \u201cA Social Highwayman'\u2019 would promptly lead to a republication of Miss Train's novel in bock form.It was, however, scarcely to be anticipated that the Messrs.TLip- pincott would be so deeply impressed with the merits of the play and the exceptional superiority of its interpretation by: the Hollands and their excellent support that the illustrations with which the book is to be embellished would be practical reproductions of the play's scenes and of the players\u2019 portraits.Not only have the Falk photos of E.M.and Joseph Holland, in character and flashlight prints, of their most striking scenes, been utilized for this purpose, but the artists specially engaged by the Lippincotts for this work atlended the Holland performances in Philadelphia night after night to catch and sketch picturesque details with his pencil.THE STORY OF MADELEINE.Not aften in the history of comic opera has there been achieved in this city such a success as that of \u2018Madeleine, or the Magie Kiss,\u201d wkich was presented by Camiile D\u2019Arville and her own company last season, and her return to the Queen's Theatre next week bcgins, with Monday evening's performance, 18 &n announcement that will give great pleasure to local theatre goers.The long runs that \u2018\u2019Ma- deleire\u201d hag enjoyed in other cities and the pleasant reminiscences of its introduction have made it familiar to lovers of music.It is remembered as one of the prettiest and most refreshingly unconventional comic operas that has been presented for years.The story, which \u2018is based on a legend of the Baron de Grimm, is entirely, novel, and is described in the following Song, which is one of the most beautiful numbers of the Opera : ' \u201cIn a legend of old\" .This story is told Concerning the tenth Baron Grimm; I\u2019 he five score attain, ; And single remain, The yess may roll backward for him.he find ere high noon The fifteentn of June, A maiden unkissed for his wife, He'll regain on that day, The legend doth say, ; The springtime and beauty of life: , With each kiss that he sips From her pure young lips He'll grow five and {wenty years younger.As l\u2019à rather not die, / With this legend I'll try To live one hundred years longer.\u201d The baron finds in Madeleine, the village belle, an unkissed maiden, and she gives him three kisses, which transforms him into a youth of twenty-five.They fall in Jove with each other, and when they are about to kiss again they are told that one more will end the baron\u2019s existence.Out of this distressing state of affairs comes the romance of tlie opera, as well as the comedy.Miss Ir Arville is an artist who is gifted with all the requirements essential to à prima donna.he im a beautiful woman, an artistic singer, and a talented actress; besides this she has Tne good taste of not trying to take upon herself all the entertainment, as she hag surrounded herself with a company of talented players, including George C.Boniface, Jr, Frank Turner, G.Stewart, Horace W.Ravenscroft, Miss Hilda Hollins, Miss Alice Gailiard, Miss Maud Hollins, Cute McDonald and & chorus consisting of fifty trained voices.Matinees Wednesday and Saturday.\u201cRUSH CITY.\u201d The attraction next week at the Thea~ tre Royal is \u201cRush City,\u201d which is described by its author, Mr.Gus Heege, as an extravagantly ludicrous but logically connected farce comedy.Mr.Heege has made many observations of life in the far west during his frequent visits, and \u2018Rush City\" is a consensus of his opinions.The representations of life in a western town, and abcut whom are gathered a Chicago widow who wants a div- vorce, and who moves to the town to get it, a typewriter fresh from the Bowery, a typical gambler, a young man of fashion, a clergyman, a Boston schoolma\u2019am, a cowboy, ar inventor who is successful in making about everything but what he pretends to make, and that is rain.THE CONTINUOUS HOUSE.Miss Lottie Arnot, who is to piay the role c£ the boy in \u201cThe Black Flag\u2019 at Theatre Francais next week, arrived in Montreal yesterday for rehearsal.Miss Arnot ie one of the best known soubrettes on the American stage, and will add rna- terial strength to the new stock company.The work on the theatre is progressing rapidly, and it is now certain that everything will be in readiness for the auspicious opening on Monday next.The vaudeville part of the programme for next week is especially strong.BACK TO FRANCE, _ The much illtreated French opera artists have chosen their line of transpcrta- tion back to France.Thirty of the coms pany wil leave this morning for New York, and will gail by the French SS.La Bourgogne to-morrow.The remaining 16 members of the stranded company are coropellec to remain in the city a \u2018week longer.They all speak well of Montreal, notwithstanding the treatment received from: their management.The be- refit performances, the unfailing kindness from prominent people, and the general sympathy expressed were all much prized by the artists, who leave with the unfortunate memories of their professional venture in Canada.MONTREAL SYMPHONY.Quite a number of persons having expressed the desire to reserve seats for these concerts the following scale of

Sara behind the footlights was a pleasure that fell to the lot of the Herald woman last night.,Ç Sara is, if anything, more adorable to look at behind the scenes than] on Che stage.Her enunciation is exquisitely consoling and intellectual and the horrible rumor that she has grown fat is killed forever.\u2018Bernhardt\u2019s slender po- Fortions, \u2018maigre,\u2019 as she loves to call them, have been part of her stock-in- trade for many years, Her sisters of the stage who, with equal euphemism, describe their superabundant curves as \u201cembonpoint,\u201d have ridiculed her slim- neds, while those who resemble her in figure have wondered how she escaped becoming positively \u201cbony.\u201d The Herald woman sought to solve this problem with Madame Bernhardt last evening.\u201cI have no fear of growing too thin,\u201d replied Mme.Bernhardt, promptly, in answer to the Herald woman\u2019s question as to how she maintained her gracelul proportions.\u201cMy life is too regular for my figure to change.The secret of my slenderness is work.Every day I work so much.My habits are so uniform.\u201d \u201cDo you diet?\u201d \u201cIndeed, 1 do not,\u201d answered the lady, with emphasis.\u201cI eat anything and everything I desire.I eat when I please, and I have np food fads.Fruit I am font of; wing I never touch.\u201d +\u201c: you found your weignt increasing would you resort to exercise?\u201d \u201cNever; I do not like exercise.I take none.Walking is not good for me.I would have no time for anything else.Gymnastics ake bad.Golf is an abomination.Rehearsals and the play are my only tonics.\u201d \u201cDo you consider that bicycling has anything to do with your perfect physical condition?\u201d f I consider that nothing but work does anything for me.I like to be thin.It is admirable.I never trouble myself about growing thinner.I ride a bicycle\u2018 only because it is agreeable.If I grew fat, why, what would become of Sara?Why, my leanness 1nade me the target of all- Paris.It introduced me to the comic papers and people should be grateful for the fun that I have given them.I.\u201d \u2018myself that has appeared.They will all be used in the memoirs I am writing and & hundred years from to-day our descendants will buy Sara's book.My secretary, Ha! ha! ha! You quaint person.I pity the secretary that had to write from Sara\u2019s dictation.Figure you that I ever si still.Can you recommend me a secretary that can write 500 words a minute?My other recreation that keeps me thin and well is my theatres CT have blossomed forth as a manager since my last visit to America.Alli the inoney I \u2018make I sçiend it on my theatre, Sometimes I L£& 1t all, but that; doesn't trouble me fin the least.If I didn\u2019t spend my money on the \u201cRenaissance\u201d I should lavish it upon other follies.It is a delightful relaxation for me, arranging the scenery, attending rehearsals, examining statements and all that sort of thing, \u201cWouldn't you have thought,\u201d &he asks seriously, with the dawn of tragedy in her voice, \u201cthat they would have built me a theatre in Paris.But they are stingy, miserly and conservative.The theatres in Paris are an abomination, any way.Men and women have to sit uncomfortably.There is no room for their knees; there is no room for their shoulders.In America the playhouses are models of beauty and luxury.I Thive made one innovation at the \u201cRenaissance.\u201d I insist that my ouvreuses, the old women that conduct peo-.tle to their seas shall be polite, and that they surely are.\u201d \u201cWhat do you think of Duse?\u201d was the Herald \\woman\u2019s next question.\u201cDo you think she resembles you?\u201d \u201cIt is absurd; it is idiotic, to say that Duse resembles me, or imitates me.She does nothing of the sort.In London they rushed to me and aried, \u2018Go and see Duse; dhe imitates you; and I went.I recognized a wonderful artist, whose methods were atsolutely unlike my own.Her Camille is exquisite, but we run in different grooves.Duse and I are not rivals at all.I am glad that shq succeeded in America, because jt proves that America knows true art.\u201d Sara\u2019s hair last night, viewed closely, wag of gold, with a glint in it.It is not purely the per-oxide of hydrogen tint.It is not fast or showy.It might even be natural if you were nog quite convinced that this could not be.It is coyly dishevelled and skittishly tousled Sarah's lips are made up with] streaks of carmine.They are so thin that they resemble rosy tape sewn to her mouth; and when she smiles the upper lip rises like a curtain and displays a ket of spiteful little teeth that can bite, and are evidently willing to do so.\u2018Fhe King\u2019s Daughters, Mrs.Davis and Mrs.Dickinson, of New York, of the Central Council of the In?ternational Order of King's Daughters.held a conference with \u2018the Montreal branch of the order at the Y.W.C.A.Hall yesterday afternoon.\u2018The meeting opened with devotional exercises.Mrs.Davis, the speaker of the occasion, delivered, an eloquent address upon the aims of the order, and expressed her satisfaction with the success which had strongly advocated\u2019 in her lecture the establishment of a city union, \u2018where members of the organization might hold periodical meetings and bring unison to their efforts for good.The work of the association was \u2018considered in its various bearings, which Mrs.Davis classified under four headings, viz.: \u2018The work of the individual in her own heart, the home work, the church work, and, lastly, the city union.The meeting closed with the singing of hymns.Endies* Musical Club, ; The Eastern Morning News, of Hull, England.in its issue of the 11th inst.has this reference to one of thea worthy institutions of Montreal: \u201cThe Ladies\u2019 Morning Musical Club is destined to do much towards propagating the love of music in Montreal.The society was organized a couple of years ago, Twice à month on Thursday mornings the members meet, when a programme of pianoforte solos, duets, songs and choruses is given.The club numbers some 300 members and applicants now have to wait some time for admission.In December last an open concert was given and a very enjoyable programme was provided.When will the ladies of Hull organize and follow their example.tdi.\u2014\u2014 BABY'S SUMMER DRESSES, They Admit of as Great Diversity of Material as Do Those of Their Elders.There are as many ways and as many new materials for summer codtames cf lit- Uo chi'dren as for their motkers, Plain dimity, lawn or colored percale is used for morning dresses, and is often made up with guimpes or without.The larger part of a child\u2019s summer wardrobe consists of dresses in plain white tain-sook.These have skirts finisted with a hemstitched field and frequently narrow tucks or insertion.Girghlams of bright col ors, with feathor stitched ruffles on the shoulders, are most serviceable and easily made.For afternoon the well dressed child will wear a pique dress with as much hand wrought embroidery as is consistent with goed taste.On account of the thickness of this matertal a guimpe is always used, the yoke cof which is made of dmbroidery or tucks or insertion, with marrow little puffs.Sleeves are always full puffs, shirred at tha wrists with marrow bands apd ruffles, and as a rule are tong, Costumes of this kind are easily made at home, as are those of white China silk, which are elaborately trimmed with lace and worn only on special occasions.Grass cloth hay found its way into the wardrcbe of small children, and dresses of this me- terial are made perfecily plain, worn with white gu'mpes.How to Remove Stains Ib is, perhaps, hardly necessary to say that dtains should be treated as speedily ay possible aïter their first appearance.When once dry they are moro difficult to remove; requiring both time and perseverance, Paint shou} be instantly wiped off, grease on wood, stone or carpdt should be congealed before it has time to penetrate, by throwing cold water over it, Tea, coffee, ink, wine and fruit stains will disappear in a quarter of the time if they can be attended to while wet.For acids, tie up a bit of washing soda in the stained part, mate a lather of soap and cold water, immeryy, the linen and boil until the spot disappears.Apple and pear stainy may ba removed by soaking in paraffin for a few ours before washing.Blood, if fresh, id removed by soaking for twelve hours ir cold water, thon washing in tepid water.If the mark still rumains, cover it with à paste made of cold water and Starcb, and expose td the sun for a day or two.For coftee and clwcolate pour soft boiling water through thle stains and while wet hold in the fumes of burning sulphur.Fruit Stains can be treated in the same way if fresh, bub if old, rub them on both sides with yellow soap, cover thickly with cold water starch, well rubbed in, and expose to the sun and air for three or four days.Then rub off the mixture and repeat the process, if necessary.Grasy stains are removed by alcokol.Ink requires milk for its removal; the spoñ should be scaked and gently robbed.A fresh stain will disappear quickly; but an old one may need soakinz in milk for twelve hours\u2014to whvon it may be added tht ink of any ordinary kind is readily removed by means of oxalic acid, bleaching afterward with solution of chloride of lime, fumes of sulphur or peroxide of hydrogen.mma Games for House Parties, Clover is quite interesting and instructive ; it is a spelling game and the alphabet is dealt out to the participants; the successful one is she who car form the greatest number of wordy in a given time from the letters in her picis- session.\u2018The Bell of Fortune is enigmatical and savons scmewhat of the mystical; there are conundrums, Biblical questions and fortune-telling mysteries ; when a certain number on the dial plate is touched, the bell rings: there is a Key to these numerals, and on turning to the corresponding number in the book, the answer is found.This is an amusing game and taxes neither one\u2019s strength nor intellect.\u2018\u201c Steeplechase\u201d appeals to those of horsey tastes; the players throw dice, and the jockey of the individual making the highest throw wins the race.Duplicate whist is not new, but is a delightful card game.After each play the four hands are gathered up and held together with rubber bands; these are dealt to four other players, whose aim\u2019 it is to make more points with the same cards tham those scored by the original players.fo The Donkey, Dude and Elephant party are by no means new, but .afford an endless fund of amusement for young and old.Of course, everyone hais tried the difficult feat of putting the donkey's tail where it belongs.The Dude's necktie is the objective point, and the elerhant\u2019s trunk must be attached to the proper place.Instead of drawing these objects on a blackboard, one can, at a minimum cost, procure squares of muslin with a printed design of the objects in question.\u2014From Form.lo Women Know That sores of the lips, frequently called cold sores, but Properly known as herpes, may often be cured by the simple application of alcohol.As soon as these sores begin to make their ap~ Learance, bathe with 90 per cent.alcohol several times daily.The addition of camphor gum to the alcohol renders it Somewhat more efficient.A one-half per cent.solution of carbolic acid in alcohol, or a 3 per cent.solution of resr- cin in alcohol is also an excellent; application.A ) {That when there is a contagious: ill- been achieved In the past.Mrs.Davis J ness in a house all the linen which | has been used by the sick person or which hag been used in his room, cught to be thoroughly disinfected before being sent to the wash, otherwise there is a great danger of the illness being carréed to others.It should be wrung out in a solution of Carbolic acid and water.! That a mustard plaster may be quickly prepared in the following way: Mix the mustard in a large cup as you would for ordinary use, only let it be a trifle thicker; spread it on a piece of tissue paper, cover with another piece\u2019 of tissue and apply to the skin, covering it with a piece of flannel.When the plaster has been on as long as required, rub a little vaseline lightly over the skin, and cover with a piece of medicated wool, with a silk handkerchief over it.\u2018The length of time a mustard plaster can be on must be regulated by the order of the doctor, and in some instances by the skin of the Tatient.In some cases dt will blister if on more than ten minutes, and we have known persons who could bear one on for an hour without inconvenience.Home-Made Mat Flowers.Flowers made of taffeta silk are cone of the season\u2019s most popular garnitures for all kinds of kead-gear.They \u2018are very ef- feciive, and may be made at home ati comparatively small cost, and equal in every respect to those bought at a high-priced milliner\u2019s.A doukle ruffle of the «silk is joined and gathered in tbe centre, something after the fashion of a rosette.Thie centres must be purchased and should be of the same shade as those of the natural flower.Poppies, roses and larger flowers develop most satisfactorily, the smaller blossoms roguiring professional construction, Fashion Notes, Rose pink crepon with ecru lace, and a touch in the borders of very dark red; will suit most complexions.Lapeld square and lace bordered, epaulets Square and loadcd with sequinage, fickus long and narrow\u2014thede furnish variety.A beaut ful effect is produced hy square epaulets of fing ecru lace over a bodice of very dark green velvet which opers in front over an ecru silk vest with a yoke outlined with lace.Tea gowns are made with huge square epaulets, lace laden, with! wabteauw pleats at front and back and with heavy cord girdles loosely knotted in fromt.If the figure is very slender the corl may pass acrosy the back.For stout or medium figures it should be attacked at either side, under the lapel which, bordered with lace, flows nninter- rupted to the bem.Soutachu braïd' was never bother liked.Black wool street suits are again quite popular, Fur bands and thils are plentiful in the smartest millinery.Lovely trimming buttons set with brilliants are used to light up dressy dark cose tumes.: Numbetless handsome little stick-pins are How required for the sure placing cf rib- bous and laces in all fastionable toilets.Ombre taffeta ribbons shading from ond cclor into another across the width, are among the mosi striking of the season's pet novelties.Fider-down flannel in delicate shades, eitber striped or with thd tufted dots, id a favorite material for negligee gowns or loungirg robes.Handsome stockings for little girls ard in colors to matcl the little dresses, They: aro dotted or paided batt.way up, tbe topy being in solid color.GTR MATTERS.Kchoes of Mannger Hays\u2019 Visit to Port Huron.Port Huron, Mich., Feb.27.\u2014General Manager Hays, of the G.T.R., made many warm friends of the employes during his recent visit here.While passing over the Sarnia division he learned that the section men were getting only 9% cents a day.He immediately raised their wages to $1.25.When he visited block I shops in the tenth ward it was explained to him that the business men had donates the grounds upon which the shops stand, expecting that preferenae would be given residents of that section of the city when work was to.be given out.He said that the right thing would certainly be done to oid Fort Gratiot end that hereafter workmen would be engaged who lived there.It is also re- Ported on good authority that Mr.Hays compelled the tunnel company, which is a separate corporation from the Grand Trunk although practically controlled by the same directors, to reduce the tolls for taking cars through the tunnel over Bae half, and that as aresult the east bound Wabash freight will be diverted from the Michigan Central to the Grand Trunk and that Armour\u2019s beef trains for the east will hereafter pass over this ne, BREVITIES, Two Women who have neglected to pay fines for selling liquor without a license were committed to Jail yesterday on the usual commitment.P.Coleman, the well-known hotelkeoper, gallantly Stopped a runaway horse with sleigh attached on St.Lambert's Hill last night.It belonged to Mr.Perrault, of S.Davis & Co.Romeo Prevost, accountant, has appoinied curator to the following estates: Holler & Hecker, wholesale hardware merchants, Montreal ;

and the people of Manitoba have demanded that they should be heard in any enquiry looking to the amendment of thelr laws.They have not yet been heard ard they very properly resist all attempts at intimidation or coescion.\u2019 THROUDLY IN Tif NORTHWEST.According to the Calgary Herald there is trouble brewing between the settlers in that vicinity and the Dominion Gov- errment.The difficulty arises over a fnatter of irrigaticn frcm the Elbow Rijrer.\u2018The Government last year refused to allow the people at Springbank to use the waters of the river, but granted Instead the exclusive priviiege to a company of Calgary citizens.À mass meeting of settlers held at Calgary has therefore declared its intention of going ahead with the work whether the Government likes it or not.Says the Herald: \u201cThey have running past their doors, simply to help fill up Hudson's Bay, the water which it is only necessary to al ÿly to thelr lands in crder torImaka them yield abundaritiy.They have the plans of their engineers and surveyors gnow- ing them how to apy it.hey have strong arms; they nave horses and wagons, srades and scrapers.By tne cem- muruty turning oui en masse, the necessary words Lor bringing the water Lo their lands would in a few days be edm- fleted.Let than set to work and let the Government dare enforce its proht- bition.The Guvernment will no more dare do so than it dare stop \u2018people in Manitoba from constructing the Red River Valley Railway in defiance qf veto of the Executive and the injunctiens of the courts.\u2018\u2019There is only one other way the Government could possibly stop the work.Let it tut dare hint that it contemplates that course and such a cry would ring through Canada as would result in utter overthrow of the present tottering Administration.If the conscience of Canada Is alarmed at possibility of Manitoba being coerced by the mere passage of a statute, we will see how the econ- science of Canada will manifest itself when it comes to militiamen to shoot down in eold blood struggling settlers in the west for declination to allow themselves to be reduced to destitution in order that their water rights may be conferred on a Government olfictals\u2019 monopoly.\u201cIt the men of Springbank be molested in their work, there is many a strapping young fellow in Alberta of the same blood and spirit as Jameson\u2019s raiders, who will volunteer any needed assistance.I! Jameson's raid was immediately futile, its ultimate object is being attained by the removal of the grievances it wag organized to redress, and, even should the east be so deat to appeals for justice as to allow the Government to Lorce this matter to a bloody crisis, there Is no doubt the ultimate results will be of benefit not only to the Springbank settlers, but to the settlers fn every part of the west.\u201d These be brave words, but the irritation displayed by the Springbank settlers is quite to be understood, if the statement that the Elbow River has water enough, and to spare, for both parties be correct.The implication that the Calgary company is \u2018a Government officials\u2019 monopoly\u201d is & grave one, bul from the record of that particularly sweet-seented body it is far more than likely that the presence of the milk in the cocoanut is thereby explained.SILVER IN THE UNITED STATES.' It is assured that in opposition to the labors of the apostles of free silver, so called, in the United States, a cam+ paign of education, with.a view to the establishment of the lasting value of g gold standard, is to be inaugurated by the Chamber of Commerce of New York city.This conclusion was reached as the | \u2018policy.\u2018States, -nance, sending Canadian | hater of England, has stated his opin- result of a conference with Mr.Car Usle, Secretary of the Treasury, on Monday last.It is urged by the friends of the honest dollar that such a campaign should have been begun long ago.They remark that the champions of unsound money have been conducting a campaign in defence of their free silver currency debasement policy with extraordinary vigor, especially during the last year or twe.At all points they have gone into the field contending for the supremacy of the silver standard and the abolition of the standard of gold, the displacement of the honest dollar of the unchanging value of 100 cents by a dishonest one of daily changing value, now intrinsically worth about 50 cents, and certain to be worth even | less if the plans of its supporters should prove successful.The situation is thus summed up by the Philadelphia Ledger, à journal of generally Republican leanings, but of an enlightened in dependence: : It is against\u2019 this proposed debasement of the currency that the integrity and Intelligence of the country should wage a campaign of education.Ignorance of the evils of it is the force which sus tains ik, and; the ground upon which ita advocates contend for success.The time for the meeting of the national conventions of the two great political parties is near at hand.\u2018The rigorous silence of nearly all the Presidential aspirants on the financial question suggests not only their moral cowardice and subservieney to opportunism, but the dangerous probability of the conventions, both or either .of them, refusing to declare unequivocally in favor of sound, honest money.Among the large number of Republican candidates for the residency there is but one\u2014Governor Morton\u2014 who has with unmistakable clearness and emphasis declared his unchangeable support of a currency based \u2018Upon the gold standard of monetary value, As for all the others, no one knows precisely what their options upon this dominating issue are.\u2018There is not one, except Mr.Merton, who has had the courage lo declare his convictions, if ha have any, with regard to the financial question.With this honorable exception, they are all as afraid to be sus- | Dected of opposition to free and unlimited \u2018silver coinage as, of.a leaning toward it.The mining states have a certain number of votes in the.electoral collega which will be cast for the Republican candidate if he will agree to stand upon a currency plank of their shaping and Lewing, and; which willsnot be so cast winless thar plank is of their design and construction.It is the votes of the free silver states which make cowards and oppa-tunists ef the kong line of Republican, Presidential \u2018faspirants.In the soutlt and west, where illiteracy is the greatest, the popular support of free silver and the S0-cent dollar is the strongest.IMor years the uninformed voters of these sections have been the pupils of the teachers, of the debased currency \"They have heard little upon the other side of \u2018the argument, and are governed in\u2019 their views by the misin- \u2018formation that they have received.It is remarked by the Ledger thati the Chamber of Commerce.of New York, which proroses to inaugtirate a compzign \u2018of financial education, is the most powerful in the country.having pecuniary resources greater than those of any other similar body of business men, but, says the Ledger, it is only one of a hundred or hundreds of trade organizations throughout thre United States, every one of which should vnite in the necessary and important work of educating the people to an intelligent understanding of the currency auestion.and kindred associations in the Uhited States are not organized on political er partizan lines.Their members are men of business first and Republicans or \u2018Democrats, as the case may be, after+ wards.The currency question is a question of business, pure and simple, and it seems reasonable to suppose that the commercial organizations of the if they should determine to prosecute such a campaign as the New York Chamber of Comirierce has decided to inaugurate, should be able entirely to offset that campaign which the silver men of the country have been conducting with such vigor and such signal powers in misrepresentation during the past few years.- As the Philadelphia Ledger.remarks, the power of such a body as the New York Chamber of Commerce, the power of a body composed of thie undoubted representatives cf the business of the whole country, the representatives of fi- commerce and manufactures, would unquestionably be sufficiently great to shape the currency planks of \u2018both the leading political organizations of the States.Behind it would be arrayed as a supporting, aggressive force | \u2018the army of voters educated to the dan- | \u2018gers of a debased, dishonest currency \u2018and the security of a pure, honest one.A trial of the power of the people \u2018im the United States to arrive at a \u2018solution of a problem which has fled the power of faction should de baf- watched with eagerness by the people of Canada.\u2014_\u2014 see Count Leo Tolstoi, who is a vigorous fon that the English and the most brutal nations of the earth.Hig chief regret is that he cannot spare the time to write a book about the Fng- lish people.Perhaps the Count is annoyed because the English people do not devour for their mental food the filth that drips from his pen with the same avidity shown by his compatriots, who are accustomed to a bodily sustenance .of tallow and black-bread.The well known failing of United States papers for elaiming all of the many prominent Canpdians as \u2018\u2019Americans,\u201d has broken out in a new spot.The Chicago papers in their enthusiastic tributes to Sir Henry Irving and his company invariably refer to Miss Julia Arthue as \u201cthat brilliant) young American actress.\u201d As everybody Knows, Miss Arthur was born and brought up in Hamilton, Ontario, and is a Clkmna- dian to the back-bone.Canada should | have a sort of Monroe doctrine to cover : cases of this kind.It would be interesting to know if Alfred Austin was ameng the cheering t crowd which weleomed Dr.Jameson to Bow Street.The dreary monotony of life in Ni- - caragua has once more been enlivened.A new revolution is well under way.me Corbett\u2019s desire to fight is obviously in inverse ratio to his proximity to the ringe CORRESPONDENCE.BRITISH EMPIRE EXPOSITION: To the Editor of thy \u2018Herald : Sir,\u2014The majority of thoss whe ory oub cgalnsl the prospects off the forthcoming British Empire Exposition have very little idea fn reference to such projects.They say were is the profit to come from?Fo answer, ! may say, thero are one Hundred and fifity thousand signare fleet of floor space at ony dollar per foct, which the Comimis- Sloners say, will all be takem.The buildings that arg proposed will cout less than ona h-nqred and fifty, thousand dollars; consequently this will pay for the buildimgy.Theil there! will be receipts from the gate, con cessions, floor space, grants will be obtain ed fram the Dominion Government (as they have already promised medals and diplomas) Provincial Government, City Council, Rail ways, Stdamshiyi Companies, Hotels and Theatres.So it will readily, ba scon that there will be enough nroney in the treasury from concessions and the sellimg of floor gpace to pay Lori all rumnine exponses.This will prove beyond a doubt te anycme cf financial ability, that, there is mo risk what ever in the enterprige {rom a monetary siandpaing.Many seem to think that there is cnly two months to do the work, im, forgetting ati the same time that the advertising twas fommenced in May of last year; and that this exhibition was largely advertised at Antwerp, Amsterdam, Bordoauxand Lycms.That printed matter has been distributed to the extent off eighteen thousard dollars iworti{ all over the , world by the Exposition Company, to say nothing of the thousands où dollars: that bave been expent- ed by exribitéon agents on tHrir own account.There are at! present about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars worldly of buildings now op the ground ; the ams ount of money to kë axpended on the buildings to be pb up is a gooù invastmenti, be- caused \u2018after they have answered the \u2018purpose.for which they were erected they can be cold atl an appraised valaotion to tho Men treal Exhibition Company.This will insure to tha Cityf of Montreal some fire buildings from the master architeuts of Europe and the Colonjes, There are fifteen millicas of pcople within a radius of three bundrel miles cf Montreal and iY is only re-sorjable to suppose that at least one million will visit this city dwr- ing the emsuing summer.They will spend directly or irfdirectly at least txéubty dollars each; this will represent at least twenty millions of money that would never have been expen\u2019ed in Mentreal but for the exhibition, There will be as nearly as can be calculated by the foreign commissioners about two million dollars worth eff goods come into Carala {itm Europe, India, South America, Japan, West Indies, United States amd Mexico, The duty on these goods will represent in the neighborteod off hilf a million, enriek- ing te coffers of the Go ernment ag well as being an educator for thq people, Tha buildings are to be fireproof], built cf plastic plaster and decorated under the direction off men 'who have a world wick reputation in this special branch of art.The representatives of Messrs.Samnders & Co., off West India house fame, London, who have represented some of the most famous firms in the world in twenty jnterna- | i us firm.v ¥ 1 secretary Northwestern Immigration As- tional exhibitions give their assurance that at least two hundred English firms of dif.| ferent branches of industry will exhibit, and that therd will be vome ¢no hundred anu sixty fram they United States) four hondred from Europe and many from the Colonies;

payments.are not wholly satisfactory.There wag/ a better demand for wheat on Tuesday, with an advance of a eent at Ontario points, but British markets deelining.since: the demand has glackened.Dressed hogs are weaker on liberal supplies, while poultry and dairy produce are firmer.\u2018The money market is quiet, but rates on stock collateral are firm at § 1-2 to 6 per cent.Prime commercial paper ig discounted at 6 to 7 per cent.The discounts of our banks on February 1 were unusually heavy, being %204,479,000 as against $202,038,000 on January 1, and; $193,764,000 a year ago.Failures for the'week are 59, against 38 for the same week of last year.Bradstreet\u2019s, this week, on the condition of trade in Ontario, says: Country roads, which were blocked with snow last week, are mow in better condition.Sleighing is reported good and deliveries ol grain and produce are now freer, Wheat is about 1c per bu higher and prices of other grains are unchanged.While large sales of grain and produce will improve collections it is possible that the effect wili not be felt in time to have much bearing on March 4th engagements.\\ The grocery trade is still interested in fhe future course of prices of sugar.The London and New York markets for raws have been firm, and the statistical position points to higher prices still.The movement of refined here is slow.Wholesale dry goods merchants and the dothing manufacturers are now placing orders for autumn gocds.Representatives of Canadian manufacturers say that brders are rather better than at this time last year.Distribution of dry goods to the retail trade shows some in crease over that of last week.f In view of the increased failure list the past few weeks banks are scanning commercial paper more closely.Call money is still firm and unchanged, and discount rates remain as heretofore.Teeth Made in Three Hours, Dr.Brosseau, of No.7 St.Lawrence Street, makes perfect fitting teeth on short notice, No charge for painless extraction when sets are made.Also first-class gold crown, plate and bridge work.The Fatal Level Crossing.Mr.L.McKnight had a narrow escape } from death last evening.Als he was crossing the G.T,R.track at Mountain Etrect, he was truck down by an outward bound engine.It was thought at first that he wai dead and hef was {con- bpyed to the General Hospital, where he soon recovered, and it was found that he was but slightly injured.He will probably\u2019 be: able to leave tha hospital to-day.SR : Coast points.making a strong fight against the emigrant clearing house \u2018roads the Grand Trunk stood by \u2018clearing house &s against the Canadian ji Pacific, and yet when the final settle- iment was made the interests of the Travellers re-, TPllsonburg;

Chicago special: A Burlington official says: \u201cI think farmers are inclined to sell corn at present prices.The move- met\u201c will depend largely on the condition of country roads.If they \u2018should be good; the movement will undoubtedly soon, become heavy.\u201d : Closings \u2014 Milwaukee \u2014 62 5-8c Feb., 66 5-8c May.Jo uth\u201462e Feb.643-8c May, 655-8c July.Detroit\u201474c Feb, 75c May, Tle July.3 Toledo-\u201474 1-4c Feb, 74 7-8c May, 70 8-dc July.Ls ot.Louis\u201462c Feb, 64 7-8c May, 63 7-8c i u y.;
