PLACE OF MONTREAL'S FESTIVITY The Meeting Grounu for Fair Women and the Gallant Yachtsmen of Lake St.Louis\u2014Where Beauty and Chivalry Joined Company.The affinity between \u2018the merry, merry maiden and the tar\u201d has been a theme for poets of a'l nations and of all ages, and this beyond all question accounts for the weess of the Royal St.Lawrence Yacht lub\u2019s Dall at Windesr Hall last night.Nearly three hundred were present, but the attendance must have been seriously diminished by the startling number of recent bereavements in prominent Montreal families.The popularity of the club, both in a social way and in the field of sport, l'as been recognized for many years, and the thoroughly happy manner in which last night\u2019s event was carried to a successful conclusion is another feather in its cap.The usual half or three guarters of an hour having been occupied in programmes filling with its attendant delights of small- talk, the company procecded by that well- krown staircase to the \u2018eautiiul hall, which had taken on its most nautical air for the occasion under the cunning hand of Beullae.The daring ores who had keen tripping \u2018\u2018extra-extras\u201d provided by an indulgent orchestra, took their places us the quadrille of honor was formed and the ball was formally started.Those in the head set were: Commodore Ross and Mrs.Fitz-Giblon.Rear-Commodore Fitz-Gibbon and Mrs.Duggan.Mr.G.H.Duggan and Miss Eadie.Mr.J.C.(.Alinon and Mrs.Davidson.Mr.8.Jackson and Miss Baird.Mr.L.Davidson and Miss Campbell.Baron Von Huge! and Miss Houghton, Mr.William Davidson and Mrs.Aliuon.A better arranged programme it would be hard to imagine, and the committee who had it in charge deserved the thanks ol every dancer.It was as follows:

earlier dances.The floor, too, was in good shape, generally speaking, and the energetic use of a plane at the extreme end of the hall would have made it perfect.The supper was in every sense up to the Virdsor's high standard, and there could be no mistaking the fact that it was heartily enjoyed by all the guests.The bird-like appetite is no longer good form.Dancing was continued after three this morning.THE LADIES COSTUMES.Eau de Nile and Blue were the Prevailing Oolors.\"ne ballroom looked very brilliant and beautiful, the naval nufoitns Won by many of the gentlemen contrasting admirably with the lovely gowns worn by the ladies.Iau de nile and blue were tne predominating colors in the Lall- room, and showed up very prettily against she dainty white dresses of uu: dehut- antes.From a spectacular standpoint, it was decidedly the most brilliant and suc- gessful ball of the season.In the mazes of the different dances the varied colors looked quite dazzling and bewildering.Altogether the ladies who were present ot the Yacht Club Ball of 1897 will long retain pleasant recollections thereof.SOME OF THE DEBUTANTES.Among the young ladies who made their debut into society last night,

Himself.He is Accused of a Shortage in His Accounts, and Does Not Defend Himself, Baltimore, Md., Jan.5\u2014Richard D.Cornelius, one of the oldest and best known bank cashiers of this city, committed suicide yesterday.His body was found in the duck pond in Druid Hill Park in the afternoon, a few hours after n shortage of $80,000 had been discovered in his accounts at the National Farmers\u2019 and Planters\u2019 Bank.Last Saturday Bank Examiner Marshall Winchester drew the attention of the officials of the bank to some irregularities in the accounts of an out-of-town institution.Yesterday morning Mr.Cornelius was asked to explain the irregularities.He did not attempt to do 80, but abruptly walked off.A closer ex- amipation of his accounts disclosed an apparent shortage of $60,000.When the officers of the bank learned that the cash- ter had left the building, they telephoned to Smith West and Lyon, the detectives, to hunt him up.Mr.West traced the defauiter to Druid Hill Park, and thence to the duck pond.There they found his body floating in three feet of water.The man had evidently held himself to the bottom of the pond by the weeds growing there.Mr.Cornelius was about 68 years of age, and was connected with the National Farmers\u2019 and Planters\u2019 Bank for over 42 years.He was a close friend of the late Enoch Pratt, who was president of the | bank for almost half a century.Mr.Cornelius was almost as prominent in religious as in banking circles.For many years he had been very prominent in Methodism, and at the time of his death he was a local preacher of the Baltimore Conference and president of the Missionary and Church Extension Society, president of the Emory Grove Association, one of the trustees of the Baltimore an- rual conference, and a member of the official board of Madison Avenue Church.He attended divine worship twice yesterday.HOW THE TRIALS STAND.Results of the Various Election Cases Tried in the Province of Ontario.Toronto, Jan.5.\u2014(Special.)\u2014-Protests were filed in Ontario against 12 Conservatives returned at the general election in June, and against one Liberal, Hon.Mr.Paterson, returned for North Grey in a bye-election.Of the 12 seats thus contested, all have been settled, with the exception of Londou, (Major Beattie, Con.), and West Toronto, (E.I.Clarke, Con.), The London case is still before the courts, under an adjournment, till January 18th.It is not likely that the case against Mr.Clarke will be gone on with.Of the remaining ten seats, the petitions were dismissed after a formal opening.of the Court in six of them, viz., in North Perth (Melaren, Con.), Fast Nor- thumberland, (Cochrane, Con.), Fast Durham (Craig, Con.), East York, (MacLean, Con.), West Toronto, (Osler, Con.), and North Grey (Paterson, Lib.), In North Bruce, (MeNeill, Con.), the petition wag tried and failed.The petitions wer sustained, and the members unseated in South Brant (Henry, Con.), North Ontario (McGillivray, Con.), and Xast Simcoe, (Bennett, Con.).There are, therefore, three Couservative seats vacant in Ontario and three by-elections to be held.Both parties in North Ontario will hold conventions this week.Among the names mentioned for the Conservative nomina- Lion are those of W.H.Hoyles, Canning- ton; Thomas Glendinneng, Vroomanton; Dr.Gillespie, Cannington; Benjamin \u2018Ma.dill, Beaverton; ex-Mayor Hunt; Brace- bridge, and Angus McLeod, lumberman, Bracebridge.It is stated that in all probability, the last \u201cmentioned, Mr.Angus McLeod, will be the man.Duncan Gra- bam, of Cannington, will in all probability be the Liberal standard-bearer.A MARVELLOUS VESSEL Being Constructed.in the United States \u2014A Great Speed Will be Attained.Providence, R.1., Jan.5\u2014A model of an electric vessel, for which a really .marvellous speed is promised by the inventor has been constructed here.1t is a distinct novelty in very many respects, Its promoters are planning to build a vessel 200 feet long, which is to have 14 propellors, six placed forward to draw it through the water, and eight astern as pushers\u2014 the arrangement, of course, being seven on each side.À speed of 40 knots an hour is confidently expected.The boat is designed for passenger traffic in Narragansett bay, ostensibly, but its real purpose is a practical demonstration of a system which the projectors hope to see applied to naval vessels in the near future.The president of the company that will build this boat is Richard 13.Painton, a naturalized Englishman.THE DEAL REPUDIATED.President Lyall, of the Exhibition Company Wants None of Mr, Beaubien's Policy.Mr, Peter Lyall, president of the Montreal Exhibition Company, stated to a Herald reporter yesterday that his company repudiates the resolutions submitted to the Legislature by Mr.Beaubief.\u201cWe have forty thousand dollars invested in the exhibition, and on which we do not draw any interest,\u201d he said.\u2018 Our only security is the buildings, and we do not intend to dispossess ourselves of them, especilly when the Government intends to.limit the liberty of the proposed arbitration.\u201d BURN'S ANNIVERSARY.The anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns.is $0 be celebrated by Montreal Caledonians on the 22nd instant.The Caledonian Society committee on the matter met last night and decided to have a conversazione and dance in Drummond Hall.Mr.Donald Macmaster, Q.C.president of St.Andrew's Society.will deliver the oration, and among the artis's who will take part is Mr.Harold Jarvis, of Detroit, well-known here.THEY DID NOT £0 \u2014 Except as Private Citizens, to Mgr.Fabre's Funeral, THE CABINET WAS SLIGHTED Dominion Ministers Refused Their Rightful Places of Honor.mr oe.An Astonishing Hxhibition of What Appears to bs Pronounced Partisanship.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Weither the Premier of Canada nor any of the Federal Ministers oi the Crown t were present at the funeral of Archbishop Fabre to-day in their official capacity.and the story of how this astonishing state of things came to be looks like another instance of the unrelenting partisanship which some high in authority are showing against the Liberal party.It might have been assumed that in the presence of the death of a venerable and revered dignitary of the Church that party strife, of no matter how bitter a nature, would be laid aside, and that members of whatever shade of political belief would be permitted to pay the last tributes of esteem and respect under conditions which would impose no personal humiliation, Unfortunately, according to the information received by The Herald, such is not the case.Despite the recognized rights of Federal Ministers to take precedence of members of the Provincial Executive of no matter how high a rank, the arrañgements at St.James\u2019 Cathedral were so made that the advisers of His Excellency the Governor- General could not, as such, take part in the ceremonies without a loss of constitutional dignity.They, therefore, attended the funeral as private citizens.The absence from the seats of honor of the Honorable Mr.Laurier and his colleagues, who had come to Montreal es pecially to do honor to the memory of a good man, was immediately noticed by many in the vast crowd gathered in the church, and the fact that he, with other of his Ministers, occupied such seats as were at the command of private citizens but accentuated the curiosity of those interested.A prompt enquiry elicited the information that in the arrangements for the funeral the Church at: ities had set aside one seat for Hon.Mr.Laurier and one for Hon.Mr.Flvun, Rremier of Quebec, but it was distinetly shown that the remaining members of the Federal Cabinet were expected to come after, in point of place, not only the Provincial Premier, but also his colleagues.The difficulty was pointed out to the authorities, but no relief was offered.Mr.Laurier, of course, could not pocket the deliberate slight to his colleagues, and he immediately announced his intention of attending the funeral merely in his private capacity.ORDER OF PRECEDENCE.The question of precedence is not determined by mere whims or fancies, and in this connection it may be well to quote the recognized authority, that of the Right Honorable the Secretqry of State for the Colonies.In the table of precedence officially promulgated members of the Dominion Cabinet stand eighth, whereas members of the Provincial Executive Council, including the Premier, have but - the twentieth place.On all occasions of state or ceremony this table holds good, but then the Provincial Ministers are Conservatives, while those of the Dominion are Liberals.MR.TARDIVEL ARRESTED, He is Accused of Libel by Mr.L.H.Frechette, ç And £s Apprehended in œuevu by High Constable Bissonette \u2014 He is Out on Parole.Quebec, Jan.5.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Quite a sensation was created here yesterday, when High Constable Bissouette, from Montreal, got off the train, and rushed to the Parliament buildings, where he arrested Mr.J.P.Tardivel, editor of T.a Verite, at the instigation of Mr.1.H.Frechette, clerk of the Legisaltive Council, who accuses the journalist of having published in his paper the following defamatory statement :- \u201cThe newspapers are announcing a lecture \u2018to be delivered at the Institut Canadien by Mr.Frechette.Still L'Institute Canadien would like to keep its reputation as a respectable institution.\u201d Mr.Tardivel was in the press gallery, busy taking notes of the session, when Mr.Bissonette met him.The High Constable liberated him on parole, enjoining him to appear this morning before Justice Chaveau, to furnish bail to appear again on the 15th inst.before Judge Desnoyers of Montreal.Mr.Gustave Lamothe will defend the accused.The country roads are in an awful state.The lumbermen are feeling very uneasy, on account of the soft weather, because it paralyses their business.The man G.Parent and his two female aécomplices were again before the Police Magistrate yesterday on a fifth charge of fraudulently obtaining goods.The prisoners will go before the Criminal Court.THE HONOR STILL OPEN.The Pall Mall Gazette Says that Mr Laurier's Knighthood was Left in Abeyance.London, Jan.5\u2014The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon, referring to the report that Mr.Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian Premier, had declined the honor of knighthood, says that this distinction was offered Mr.Laurier for the New Year, and that his answer left the matter so that he ceuld accept at a future date.rte Date of Calling Parliament Not Yet Considered.The Brussels Postmaster Safe in His OMce\u2014Appointment of An Auditor.Ottawa, Jan.5\u2014{Special) \u2014Lt.-Col.Lazier, Belleville, whofwas apcpinted commissioner to enquire into the charges against Mr.Farrow, at onc time Conservative member, now Postmaster at Brus sells,has made his report to the Postmasier- General.The cvidence showed that Farrow spoke at publie meetings, and other wise worked for the Conservative caudi- date.Commissioner Lazier, however, tinds in favor of Farrow, and consequently tho charges will be disimisscd, and Farrow retained in his position.A story has been going the rounds ot the press to the effect that the cure at Crane Island, Charlevoix, had ordered the destruction of copies of *\u2018i\u2019Electeur\u201d in the post-office there, and that the post master finally yielded, and had them burned.Hon.Mr.Mulock, Postmaster- General, has so far not received any information on the subject and consequently nothing has been done in the matter.The Cabinet has not yet considered when Parliament will meet.It has been formally prorogued until the 26th inst.and when the time comes for further prorogation, something definite will likely be known of the calling of the House.Sir Richard Cartwright has returned from Kingston and Sir Oliver Mowat from Toronto.The inaugural meeting of the new city council will be held next Monday.One of the first questions which the new mayor will have to decide will be with regard to the appointment of an auditor.Yor a long time past the Irish Catholics have been urging that they should have a representative for this important office, but it is not known yet whether the mayor- elect will accede to this contention, or appoint Mr.J.N.Rattey.Many think that Mr.Rattey will be re-appointed, and it & agreed that ex-Ald.Starr will be the Mayor's nominee for the Court of Revision.STANLEY STREET FIRE, Some Interesting Evidence at the Resumed Inquest \u2014 Telephone Alarms Condemned.The Stanley street fire investigation was continued yesterday.Building Inspector Lacroix said, speaking of the construction of the houses, that if the galleries had been disconnected the flames would not.of course, have spread.The party wall ran up to the roof and the rear wall was carried te the underside of the roof board mg.There was no communication between the buildings except at the roofs, and the gallery was a continuation of the roof.There was no law to prevent the use of sawdust in the construction of buildings, and when they examined the house after the fire he saw no sawdust between the Hoors and partitions, as had been stated, but only in the roof.Ile saw no false chimney.© Mp.Bulman, the architect, said that the fire ran up through the box containing the pipes, which were placed there in order to be easily got at.Mr.Lacroix said that if a stream had been playtéi on the rear wall of the buildings, the fire would not have spread from No.1 to No.3, which is fifteen inches higher, if the galleries had been broken.Mr.Pope, representing some of the proprietors of the burnt dwellings, gave some testimony as to the constructoin of the buildings, and said that the roof between Nos.2 and 3 was not continuous.Chief Benoit testified to the delay caused by Mr.Browne, telephoning to the Central Office to send up a reel, instead of giving the alarm in the usual way from the nearest box.Te blamed My.Browne more than any one else, and both he and the chairman strongly condemned the practice of citizens sending telephone messages in case of fire breaking out.BRAM SLEEPS WELL, Recent Conviction Does Not Weigh Upon His Spirits to Any Extent.Roston, Jan.5.\u2014Thomas Bram has slept well since his conviction.He is still the game calm, imperturbalde man that caused wonder at his appearance at the trial, and no one would guess from his manner and actions that he had passed the first corner on the road to the-scaffold.His counsel are preparing for one of tue greatest contests ever waged to save a man\u2019s life, and no stone will be left unturned to %eep Mate Bram from the gallows.One thing \u201cis apparent\u2014the public sympathy is with t him.Hundreds of men arc to be found who are firmly convinced that there was noi evidence enough to convict.The point in all discussions seams to be that there should have been another trial: The usual number of cranks have sent Bram advice | and suggestions, but he has.thrown all of i thems aside as soon as reading them.i United States Marshal Swift sent a com.manication to the jail vesterday morning | requesting that no person except his coun: i gel ba allowed to see Bram.The sailors | are feeling quite well.It is not hkelv that they will be allowed their liberty until the case is disposed of.The cost of the trial \"to the Government will be not far rom | $10,000.HIS DEATH EXPECTED, United States Minister at Honolulu in a Critical Condition\u2014Much Sympathy Expressed.Victoria, B.C., Jan.5\u2014The steamship Miowera, just arrived from Honolulu, brought advices that at the time of the vessel's departure from Honolua, U.8.Minister Willis, whose condition for some time had been very serious, had been given up by his physicians, and his death was momentarily expected.Much svinpathy was expressed by tho a tesidents, as the Minister was very popuw lar, both in his private life and in his offi: cial capacity.His A RUMOR REVIVED.London, Jan.5.\u2014The Westminster (Ga- gette, this

YEAR.Every Line of Business Reports Much Better Times.And the Aggregate of the Christmas and New Year's Trade Must Have Been Immense.Considerable interest always attaches to the quantity and quality of the Christmas and New Year's trade in the city shops.Many people regard it as a barometer of the condition of trade, and accept favorable reports as proof of a satisfactory, or at least, improving state of business.The Herald has taken pains to interview some of the leading retailers upon this point, and it is satisfactory to be able to state that their expressions are altogether those of satisfaction.The consensus of opinion seems to be thal the holiday trade this winter has been better than ever before.Mr.M.Cochenthaler, the well-known jeweller of St.James Strect, said :\u2014 Business has been very much better than it was last Christmas and there was a great rush right up to the end of the year.Owing to the great cheapness of small silver goods, customers have been far more plentiful than formerly, and there was an exceptionally large demand for diamonds\u2014chiefly on the part of the French speaking population of Montreal.This has been the best holiday season Mr.Cochenthaler has ever had.James A.Ogilvy & Son, of 2539 St.(Catherine Street, have had a very busy time.\u2018Trade has been much better than last year, and has surpassed all expectations.They ascribe a great part of their success to their enterprise in advertising and also to their having moved into fine new premises.They are at present very busy with their January sales.G, A.Holland & Son, of 2411 St.Catherine Street, have had a first-rate holiday trade.This has been a record year for them, as Christmas shopping commenced carly in November and was sustained right up to the end of the year.H.& N.E.Hamilton, have had a splendid holiday season.They partly ascribe their phenomenal business to the mechanicad effect \"or Mapliyed as nn advertisement in their windows.Owing to the enormous business done, they were enabled to grant all their employes a holiday on Saturday, January 2.They were the only retail house in Montreal who did so.John Murphy & Co.have had a splendid Christmas season.In all departments they are away ahead of last vear, and the extra pressure on their fancy department was felt at the beginning of November.C.W.Lindsay & Co., of 2366 St.Cather tne street, have enjoyed an exceptionally good season\u2014in every respect better than last year.They partly account for this by the fact of their having removed to a handsome new store, which enables them to carry a much larger and better stock than heretofore.They now also have the agency for the Chickering (Boston), piano, which they had not last year.Henry Morgan & Co.are quite satisfied with this year's results, They have en- joved a better holiday trade than they had last year.Munroe Bros, of 2246 St.Catherine street, have had a larger number of customers than they ever had before, and the Christmas season of 1806 has in every respect been better than that of 1895.Henry Birks & Sons, of 2196 St.Catherine street, have had a record season, surpassing even the scason of 1895.The extra Christmas business was felt earlier than usual and a roaring trade in all departments was sustained right up to the close of the year.Fraser, Viger & Co., have.in spite of the weather, had a quite exceptionally good holiday season, trade being in every respect better than last year Dufresne, Mongenais & St.Charles have had a very good holiday season, trade being been exceedingly brisk throughout.This has been one of the best seasons they have ever had.and has undoubtedly been fav brisker than last year was.John T.Hannan, of 215 St.James street, has had a splendid Christmas season.Trade has been brisker than it ever was in the past, and this has in every resncet proved a record season.These opinions could be reneated bv the score, and show that Montreal business men have much to be thankful for, in spite of the \u201chard times.\u201d THE STORM CONTINUES.Little Abatement in the Severe Weather Prevalent Throughout the Middle States.St.Paul, Minn., Jan.5.\u2014A

Weeks\u2014Sketch of His Life and the Good He Has Done for Canada\u2014Montreal Will Mourn His Loss.Sit Joseph Hickson.died at his residence | to the general manager of that company.on Mountain Street at five minutes to eleven o'clock this morning, surrounded by his wife and family and a few intimate personal friends.\u2018 The end was a peaceful and painless one, ond was expected ever since last evening.His illness lasted for seven weeks, and was borne with great patience, but everyone hop:d that he would be spared up to yesterday.Ç The cause of death was paralysis, a slight etroke of which was felt seven weeks ago, About a month ago Sir Joseph had a severe stroke while in his office, and was immediately conveyed to his home.Dr, Craik was called in, and under his care the patient gradually got better, every day showing a little improvement.Last cven- ing at half-past seven another and more serious stroke of paralysis came, from which there was no hope of recovery.Through the night Sir Joseph gradually slipped away, while Lady Hickson and her children watched anxiously by his side, The end came, as stated, just before eleven, The news very soon travelled down town, and sincere sympathy was expressed on all sides for the bereaved family.On the general offices at Point St.Charles and on Bonaventure depot the flags were hoisted at half-mast out of respect.Mr.William Hickson, the eldest son, is en his way \u2018home from Germany on the Spree, which \u2018is expected in New York in a day or two.The funeral arrangements will be delayed until his arrival.A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE, Sir Joseph Hickson was horn in Otters burn, Northumberland, in 1830, and was educated at home and in the schools of his \u2018native county.\u2018At an early age his business career began with one of the large firms of \u2018carriers which did a big business between England and Scotland in the days before the railways had been extended to any extent.From this he passed into the service of the North-Eastern Railway of England, where he laid the foundation of the knowledge of railway matters which afterwards placed him at the head of the great corporation.After a few years there Mr.Hickson accepted a position on the Maryport & Carlisle Ry., and in 1851 he took a position of responsibility on the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Ry., where his progress Was rapid.Ten years later he was assistant It was in that position that he attracted the attention of Sir Edward Watkin, then President of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, who offered him the position of accountant, which he accepted.Mr.Hickson arrived in this city in January, 1862, and has made it his home ever since.His career sn his new sphere was a remarkable one, success and promotion coming very quickly, He had not been long in the position of accountant when he was made secretary-treasurer, and in this office he served the company faithfully for many years.In 1874 Mr.C.J.Brydges, managing* director, resigned from his position, and Mr.Hickson was promoted to the management of the line, with the title of General Manager.How he filled this office for seventeen years the prosperous state of the road tos day shows.Under his management the Company made great strides towards suc~ cess, and the country benefitted to an enor~ mous extent by the development of the road.Among the many trade connections which were due directly to his efforts was the establishment of a direct line to Chis cago under the control of the Grend Trunk.By this masterly stroke the most profitable portion of the road\u2019s freight business was secured, besides giving to Canadian vessels a vast amount of western cargo.Western Ontario especially felt the effect of the extension of the Grand Trunk, lines being run through it in every direction, and several of the best manufacturing towns in that district owe their development to the enterprising policy pursued by Mr.Hickson in the early years of his management.In addition to the management of the Grand Trunk he was president, vicespresi' dent or director of some twenty companies closely related to it.The mileage of the system increased from 1383 to 3487 miles.For the ability he displayed in managing Canada\u2019s then greatest railway, and for the valuable services rendered to the country in the way of developing its industries and resources, he was knighted in 1890.In the following year he retired from the manage~ ment of the company to enjoy the rest which his years as well as his services entitled him to.He could not remain idle, however, and was interested in several banking and industrial institutions, besides which he was President of the Royal Pros hibition Commission.the Board of Trade and Corn Exchange, wife and six children.Commercial.WHEAT IN CHICAGO.J.R.Willard, Chicago, wired F.Bond and Co.as follows :\u2014\u201cEarly cables showed an advance \u2018in Liverpool since Saturday of aearly 2c a bushel, and the market closed at a further advance of more than lc per bushel.The Board made the world\u2019s shipments 5,300,000.The anticpated cold wave was in evidence.For a time it looked as if the bullish sentiment would carry prices considerably higher, but there was a good deal of wheat for sale on all the rallies, and the knowing brokers thought it came from Cudahy.\u201d The failure of a large Bank at St.Paul and the increase in visible of more than 200,000 bushels and declarations by weather office here that snow covers most of the United States, had a moderate bearish effect.Exports reported to-day 300,907 bushels.It is expected that the world\u2019s visible will decrease four and a half millions.The news has been strong enough to put the price up to 86 for May and hold it chere, but it is evident the short interest has been practically wiped upt and the advance hus induced considerable realizing GARRATT GETS THREH YEARS.Toronto, Jan.4\u2014Henry D.Garratt, the New York forger, who

slay her, nor wait!\" He took the heart and he ran with it straight, .Ag he ran he fell to the ground, And in the clay the heart rolled round.As the heart rolled round in the clay, The heart sald, and he heard it say- He heard the heart say in his ear, \u2018\u2018Hast hurt thyself, my dear, oh, my dear?\u201d Dwight L.Moody, the great evangelist, who is now in New York, condemned the song with these words: \u201cI don\u2019t think Sodom ever produced pp thing like that.Horrible, dread- ul.\u2019 To this Guilbert replies: \u201cThere are three ideas in this song.If Mr.Moody had thought it worth while to sefirch them out, if he had, perhaps he would have been less severe.M.Richepin has sought to depict, first the selfishness of a heartless coquette, next the complete slavery of hopeless love, and finally the all comprehensiveness, so to speak, of a mother\u2019s love, which gives freely everr- thing to please its object, however unworthy the latter may be, Of course the last is the crowing idea of the song, up to which, indeed, the others only pave the way.\u201d Se = reg \u201d Dey ARTE A \".?RDA à Ae = PAR a a N i x ja YVETTE GUILBERT.Yvette Guilbert is about 30 years of age She is tall, graceful, willowy, strictly speaking not good looking, but she has a well-poised head surrounded by a wealth of auburn hair.She has a perfect figure and needs no Parisian gowns to reveal her art.Three years ago, she was unknown in this country, but her first song was not finished before the wires flashed out her praise to every part of the continent.She sings nearly all her songs in French, but for the benefit of those who do not ualer- stand that language, will give here four in English.The Windsor Hall will probably be secured foz her concert.UNCLEAN JOURNALISM.A Protest Against the Introduction of New York Methods Into the Canadian Press., Editor of The Herald : Sir \u2014If we may judge by yesterday's issue of the Star, it is high time that we should have another evening paper, if we can only have one that will not bring into our families the scum of the sensational New York press.The disgusting details of a New York orgie among weil thy, but low-minded, men cannot be called \u201cfit family reading.\u201d A good many families found it: necessary to burn part of last Saturday\u2019s Star before letting it info the hands of the young people Another article in the same paper, which claimed to be copied from the New York World seems to have no raison d'etre whatever, except it be to annoy a young couple of the highest standing in Canadian society.The lady in question is not by any means the only one in Montreal, who, having been freed from a bad husband on the other side of the line, has found a good one on this; yet she is the only one who has been selected as the subject of \u201ca romance.\u201d Indeed, there is so much that we are forced to believe that it was | inspired by the fact that the lady was independent enough to work for her living against the wishes of her friends.However, there are many other women in more romance than truth in the article : Montreal society who have found it necessary to work for a living until fortunate eonugh to marry a rich husband, and if the details of their long struggles with poverty and strivings after wealth and position were given, we might be supplied with much more romantic reading than that afforded by a brief but brilliant stage career, an unhappy marriage, an absolute divorce, and a happy re-marriage, which i i t i cannot be marred by such malicious med: | dling.So long as The Herald continues to be | a good clean paper, which respects the private lives of respectable citizens, so long it may depend on the active support of every decent Montrealer, whether Libera] or Conservative.Yours, etc, DECENCY.sald Company, is hereby called for the twelfth day of January next, at ten of the clock, in the frocnoon, in the Court Room for Insolvency Matters, In the Court House, in the said city of Montreal, to appoiut a Onal liquidator to the sald Company in accordance with the judgment rendered here in, on the thirty-first day of December, instant.H.COLLALD, Deputy Prothonotary, 8.C, Montreal, 31st December, 1896.-\u2014 CALLING IN CREDITORS.In the Superior Court of the Provinee of Quebec.PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, 1} DISTRICT OF MONTREAL [ No.2\u2014In re John B._Blandy et al, pel.tioner, and Romeo Prevost, accountant, heretofore of the city and district of Montreal, and now an absentee.The said nbsentee and his creditors are hereby ordered to appear before one of the Judges of this Court, in the Court Rosia for fnsolveney Matters, in the Court Liouse, at Montreal, on the fourteenth day of January next, at ten of the clock in the fora- roon, in order to give their advice touching the appointment of a curator to the property of the said absentee.H.COLLARD, Deputy I'rothonotary, S.C.Montreal, 2nd January, 1896.INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY.Tenders for Timber, Lumber, Ele.SEALED TENDERS addressed to the undersigned, and marked on the outside, \u201cTenders for Timber, ect.\u2019 ed until Wednesday, 6th supplying all or any part of t Timber, Lumber, etc., referred to in a specification to be seen at all Booking Stations.the conditions of the specification must be complied with.The Department will not be bound to accept the lowest or any tender.D.POTTINGER, General Manager.Rallway Office, Moncton, N.B.10tb December, 1896._] MOVEMENTS OF STEAMERS Arrived\u2014January 2.Steamer.At.From.La Gascogne .Havre .New York Friesland .Antwerp .New York Werra .Rotterdam .New York Arrived\u2014January 3.Patria .Hamburg .New York Aurania .New York .Liverponi The C.P.R.steamer Empress of Japan left Yokohama for Vancouver on the morning of January 1st.THE WEATHER TO-DAY.Messrs.Hearn & Harrison report to-day as follows: Standard thermometer\u20148 a.wm., 85;

Romeo Prevost.H.COLLARD, Deputy Prothonotary, S.C.Montreal, 31st December, 1896.x TSN SSSR So SANS 5 AOD, CSN ANGELO MARIANI.A Scientist Who Was a Public Benefactor.The therapeutic qualities of cinchona bark and the coca leaf were known soon after the conquest of Peru by Pizzaro and his valiant Spaniards.The Jesuit Fathers, who in those days marched side by side with the men of the sword, found out the virtues in cases of fever of the bark of the cinchona tree, and the marvellous sus taining powers pertaining te the coca or coca leaf.The natives knew these things, and the Jesuits, an observing, investigating sct of men, began very early to utilize the | new medicine, and yet it was not until 1820 that chemistry got to work on what had been known for more than two cen: turies as Jesuits\u2019 bark, and produced therefrom the alkaloid known as quinine.Coca has had even a slower develop: ment.The Conquistadores saw the indians chew the leaf of a shrub, and, sustained by its power, go long days without food, covering miles of mountain passcs with grievous burdens on their backs, or climbing up the ladders in mine-shafta with half their own weight in one of their packs.Later, dcientists like Hum- bolt, Von Tschudi, Markham and Smith marvelled at the effects of coca on the natives of North-western South America in cnabling them to withstand the strains of hard labor, exposure and want of food with impunity.Dr.Smith also comments on the longevity of these coca users, whose number is about 8,000,000.Ani yet with all these centuries of observation and knowledge, it was not until the early sixties that a man of science began ta investigate the coca.The man in question was a Corsican named Angelo Mari ani, a chemist by profession, and living in Paris.After the fashion of modern chemists he proceeded to work out ths coca problem in extenso, and he has produced a large number of coca products.One of these, an infusion of coca leaves in grape juice, the medical faculty of Paris, after a two years\u2019 exhaustive test, called, after its maker, Vin Mariani, and [ te o i: 5 b CV PO CN BORA oe Re 0 5 HAL - Lu Oo { LE fn stamped it.with their approval, and presented the chemist with a medal by Roty, that king of modern medallists, The new drink was found to be to the brain-fagged man of talent just what the leat is to the leg-wearied Indian, a \u201cpick me-up\u201d without a reaction, and in consequence the best Parisian work in letters and arts of the last five and twenty years has been based on Vin Mariani.Zola, Sardou, Daudet, Dumas, Gounod, Ambroise Thomas, Campanini, De Reszke and many another name known to fame are Marian- ists, while Henri Rochefort, the irreconcilable, writes, that the wine had so benefited his constitution that he suggested the propriety of sending some of it to the French Government in the hope that \u201cho constitutional effect on the body politie would be similar to that on the \u2018body hysical.Cn this side of the water Vin lariani, under the auspices of Drs.ls.berg, Fordyce Parker, Loomis, St.John Roosa, and other leaders of the faculty, came into use as a tonic early in itg his.tery, but as it was not a patented article, s> soon as the public brgan to use it the noble army of counterfeiters arcse in their might and proceeded tn mix cocoaine and spirits, and call the stuff by various names and so it was that the makers of the Mor:ani wine have leen driven into the open market after so many years, when their only customers were doctors and dru-g's's.By the way, and in this connection, why do not the controllers and organizers of armies look into the virtues of the coca products?It is estimated that the coca leaf, chewed thrice a day, will add something like 20 per cent.to the travelling endurance of an Indian, and it is most probable that the effect on a white would be the same.Now, an increased march- (ng power of one mile in five would go far, other things being equal, to winning the campaign.Possibly some such system may.be adopted by and by.and the soldier be sent forth to war with a paper of chewing coca, in his pocket, and a provision of Vin Mariani in his canteen.Mechanical and chemical science have done their best for the improvement of the soldier\u2019s equipment, and it is time that something should be done to supplement

This Afternoon.Detailed Arrangements for To-morrow\u2019s Funeral \u2014 Many \u2018Spiritual Donations\u201d Received.There was a continuous flood of visitors into the Archbishop\u2019s palace on Saturday and yesterday to view the remains of the late Monsignor Fabre.It is estimated that more than 18,000 men, women and children, rich and poor, humble and great, passed through the front entrance of the palace, cast one last glance upon what was pnce the beloved pastor of this archdiocese, and went out by the side entrance on Dominion Square.Yesterday the crowd was even more numerous, and from early morning until sunset more than 25,000 people paid their last homage to the memory of the distinguished prelate.Pickpockets were bold enough to exer cite their unlawful industry even in the presence of death, and were not awed by the solemnity of the cireumstances.It was reported that several ladies were relieved of their purses, and the immense crowds were continuously warned to be- asvare of pickpockets.\"There were a number of constables present to maintain order, and they did their duty most creditably.\"The crowd was most orderly, and there was not a hitch.SOME NOTABLE VISITORS.Amongst those who have paid a last visit to the deceased prelate are: Hon.C.A.Geoffrion, M.P., Sir Adolphe Chapleau, Hon.L.O.Taillon, Ald.Beausoleil, M.I\u2019, Judge Baby, and many others prominent in the life of the city.No floral tributes are accepted, but there are numerous \u201cspiritual donations,\u201d amongst which are the following: From the Brothers of St.Viateur and their scholars, 13 solemn masses, 100 low masses, BR65 masses heard.3,300 comnunious, 5.265 Ways of the Cross, 51,250 beads re cited, 55,150 de profundis.From the Brothers of the Christian schools and their

commissions; 4,400 beads recited and 4,400 De Profundis.Mis.Fabre, the bereaved mother of the deceased prelate, offered 80 masses.REMOVING THE REMAINS.The remains are decaying rapidly and this morning the venerable Archbishop presented.a sorrowful aspect.His face was very black and his lips were much decomposed, although every possible precaution was taken.The transferring of the body from the Palace to the Cathedral this afternoon at 3.30 was an imposing affair.The only outside Canadian bishops who have arrived in time to assist at the ceremony are Archbishop Langevin, of St.Boniface: Bishop Paschal, of the N.W.T.; Archbishop O\u2019Brien, of Halifax: and Bishop Sweeney, of St.John, N.B.Some may arrive on the afternoon trains, but at the time of going to press none had as vet visited the Palace.Elaborate arrangements have been made for the reception of the 33 prelates and 600 priests who have promised to be present.Two priests await the arrival of cach train, in the three railway stations and the reverend gentlemen, on their arrival, are driven directly to some presbytery or religious community, where thev are to take up their abode during their stay in this city.THE

Bourget.It is in the base of one of the four pillars supporting the dome, that to which the pulpit is attached.A VISIT TO THE CRYPT.The entire crypt is highly interesting, and a Herald representative was privileged to visit it this morning.The darkness was profound, and was rather intensified by the few gas jets which were burn: ing.The most interesting part is ,of course, that wherein the two former bish- ong of Montreal lie, and where they are so soon to be joined by the first Arch bishop.The intention is that the bod- dies of eight prelates shall lie bencath each of the four pillars.The first two caskets are placed on the ground and bricked over and later ones will he placed over them.Archbishop Iabra's body, therefore, will rest over that of Mgr.Lar- tique.The inscription on the door of this vault reads as follows: \u2014|- 7 RIP \"TT Tomb of the Very Illustrious and Very Reverend Monsignor J, J.Lartique, 1st Bishop of Montreal, Died 19th of April, 1840.Ignace Bourget, 2nd

REGRET.At a special meeting of the St.Jean Baptiste Association, held at the Monument National, yesterday, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : \u2014 \u201cResolved, that the St.Jean Baptiste Association is speaking in the name and for the French-Canadian population, in ex: pressing the regrets which it feels at the death of its great chaplain, His Grace Mgr.Fabre.in honoring his virtues and his devotedness to the Church and to his country.Resolved, that in order to give a tribu'e of sympathy and respect, the members of this Association will attend the funeral of the distinguished diseased.Resolved, that copy of the present resolutions be transmitted to Messire Bour- geault, high administrator of this diocese, and to the family of the beloved prelate.At a special meeting of the executive board of the Alliance Natonale, the follow: ing resolution was adopted unammouslyr DA RE Se The Alliance Nationale, in the person of His Grace Mgr.Edouard Charles Fabre, loses not only a beloved first pastor, but also an honorary president, whose hizh protection and sympathies have been sa valuable to the Society, in the good work which it follows.And it is with the greatest sorrow that this Society de plores the misfortune which in the be: reavement of the Catholic Church of Can.anada reminds this Society that it las every motive to retain deep gratitude towards the illustrious and pious decased.In associating itself more particularly to the mourning of the eminent priest who were now directly the oco-operators of the holy prelate as well as to that of his venerable mother, the Alliance Nationale fufis a duty, which rc-echoes sorrowfully in the hearts of its thousands of members.INSURE YOUR LIVES.That is the Advice of a Leading Clergyman to His Congregation.In the course of an eloquent sermon in St.James Methodist Church last night Rev.Dr.Rose, basing his figures on the actuarail tables of the life insurance companies, estimated that at least forty of his hearers would die during this year.In the younger Canadian companies, Dr.Rose said, the calculation was that about ten in ea:h thousand would die, but in the older English companies tha death rate was expected to be as high as fifteen.In moralizing on this, certain expectation of death, Dr.Rose urges on all business men the duty of so settnz their affairs in order that financial bani- hities would not add to the sorrow of their families were they suddenly called away.DR.CHASE'S CATARRH CURE Cures cold in the head in ten minutes.Cures incipient catarrh in from one to three

TEACHERS.The Flynn Government wishes to reserve to itself a great deal of liberty us to the use which shall be made of the additional $50,000 which it asks of the Legislature for the common schools.Probably it would feel much embarrassed to tell the Province just what grievance it ip- tends to remedy, so numerous are those.which claim immediate attention.At all events the case of the teachers presents a gate of affairs which is a disgrace to the Province.The ridiculously small salaries paid and the hardships imposed upon those public servants have been fully examplificd in the letters published by The Herald.Those who are ex: pected to form the hearts and the minds of the coming gencration are paid less than farm laborers or servants, and they are subjected to the caprice of every one; they are the victims of every sort of tyranny.\u2019 It is no wonder that those who are in the profession hasten to desert it.Our special correspondent called attention several times to the disastrous results attending the frequent changes of teachers.Corroborations of his statements are superabundant.Inspector Thibault says : \u201cWhat hinders progress in the schools in my district is changing the teacher yearly in many municipalities.For a trifle\u2014a few dollars\u2014a good teacher, who has made her mark will be allowed to go, by refusing her a well-deserved increase of salary and engaging one unknown, wha will accept a lower remuneration and so run the risk of losing, at least, three + months, and perhaps, the whole year.\u201d Mr.J.B.Demers, who is inspector for the wealthy district around St.Johns, says : \u201cOut of a staff of over two hundred who teach in the schools under my control, there are barely ten per cent.who have five years or more of service.\u201d Inspector Curot shows by a statistical table that in the counties of Compton, Beauce and Stanstead, 103 teachers out of 145 had taught in the school where they were only one year; and there were only 18 who had taught more than two years in the same school.And all the inspectors agree that insufficient salaries are at the bottom of the evil.The school inspectors\u2019 convention held at St.Hyacinthe, sought a remedy, and it adopted the following resolutions: \u201cThat the giving of a special grant, payable directly to the teacher, in proportion to the degree of the certificate, the inspector\u2019s report and the years of service, would be a powerful means of encouragement and would contribute towards keeping a greater number of competent persons in the ranks of the teachers.\u201cThat the fixing of a minimum salary is a practical way to solve the problem of improving the teachers\u2019 condition; that in fixing the amount of the salaries a sliding scale should be established according to the resources and revenues of each municipality and the requirements of each school.\u201d It does not appear that the Government is willing to go that far, yet there appears to be nothing exorbitant in these demands.If we consider the cireumstan- ces on the contrary they appear very necessary.A tariff of fees has been established for the services of lawyers, notaries and other professions.\u2018lo\u2019 raise the school teachers to the same level is vothing extraordinary, and it would not only draw more quaiified persons to the | profession, but it would also give him, a degree of independence, a prestige which would exert a most beneficent influence on the minds of the people in favor of education.\u201cIIe who would be free, must himselt | first strike the blow.\u201d The school teachers could do much to improve their condition, to attract public sympathy, by agitation.The apathy of the greater number among them, the quiet way in Which these submit to their fate, is in itself a strong proof that they are not qualified toefocrm the sentiments of a generation of freemen.THE DETECTIVE DEPARTMENT, It is desirable that the new Chief of the Detective Department should be given a free hand in his re-organization of that department.Reorganization is a crying necessity, has been for years.In the course of the investigation a couple of years ago a state of almost complete inefficiency was shown in respect not only of the system upon which the affairs of the department were conducted, but of the personnel of the department also.It has taken the aldermen some time to act upon the knowledge which was acquired at that time, but they have acted at last, and they should see that the change bears fruit.They bave placed at the head of affairs a gentleman of extensive detective experience and marked detective ability.His conception of his new duties as outlined in an interview with a Herald reporter is gdmirable.\u201cI ghall endeavor,\u201d says Mr.Carpenter, # with the assistance of the Superintendent and the committee, to organize the department on a modern basis, and to operate and direct it so as to give to all tlasges of people that protection to which they are entitled in every branch of the publié service.I shall endeavor to do my duty fearlessly, and hope to have the hearty co-operation of the inspectors and every officer of the police force.\u201d \u2018This is good talk and if the new chief detective will hold himself free from that aldermanic interference which rendered nugatory the efforts of his predecessor, he should find no difficulty in effecting those reforms which are at present so urgently necessary.Under thuse circumstances the name of Carpenter would not be a standing invitation to every crook, footpad, burglar and thug on the continent.Rather would tt stand as a synonym of conditions that would make the position between the upper and the nether millstone, when compared with Montreal, a Paradise for malefactors.It is plain that Mr.Carpenter has such a result in view, and that he will not be content to preside over a department of as little vdlue to the ratepayers of the city, as the detective department has been hitherto.And it is probable that he has a very clear conception of the main difficulties which he wil have to encounter.The aldermen should assist him to overcome these difficulties.The new chief should bear one thing always in mind.le should never forget that he is the servant and not the master of the people, a thing which police officers are proverbially inclined to forget.The initiation of a regime of courtesy and of strict attention to the legitimate requests and requirements of citizens, however great, or however humble, those requests or requirements might be, would imrnediately inspire popular confidence and that is, one of the things that the detective department of Montreal needs most.It would relieve the citizens of the expense of the employment of private detectives and place on the proper shoulders, the shoulders of the city itself, the responsibility for the detection of crime in Montreal.Mr.Carpenter has a great opportunity and he will engage the sympathy and consideration of the rate-payers if he improves it to the full, SIR JOSHPH HICKSON.At the season which to the world at large is the scaton of gladness, death is busy among the men who loom largest in the eves of the people of Montreal.The venerable Archbishop of the diocese is not yet laid in his grave, when that good man Sir Joseph Hickson is called to his reward.Sir Joseph Ilickson had spent the prime ot lis life in Montreal.He lived here for over thirty years, and in that time won the respect and affection of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, and the esteem of the community at large.Xe vas a man of loveable attributes, and in all things a good citizen.His services to the Grand Trunk Railway Company and to Canadian railway interests at large were of the highest value, ana in due time found recognition at tue hands of Royalty.iis last public service was performed in his capacity as chairman of the Royal Commission on Prohibition.Sir Joseph Hickson was a man whom his fellow citizens can ill afford to lose, and he will bs sincerely mourncd and greatly missed.WARNING AND ENCOURAGEMENT.It is interesting to compare Sir Richard Cartwright\u2019s remarks at the Club National banquet last week with certain of those made by Mr, Edward Blake in the course of his memorable let: ter to the electors of West Durham in 1801.Mr.Blake's letter is still quoted by the Conservative press as a condemnation of the policy of his colleagues of the Lib: eral party, but it will be seen that his judgment as to the cffects of the Conser vative policy was not less scvere than that of Sir Richards Cartwright.Mr.Blake said :\u2014 LS \u201cThe Canadian Conservative policy has foiled to accomplish the predictions of its promoters.Its real tendency has been as foretold twelve years ago, towards disintegration and annexation, instead of consolidation and the maintenance of that British connection of which they claim to be the special guardians, \u201cIt has left us with a small population, a scanty immigration and a North-west empty still; with enormous additions to our public debt and yearly charge; an extravagant system of expenditure, an unjust and oppressive tariff, with restricted markets for our needs, whether to buy or sell, and all the hosts of evils (greatly in.tersifiel by our special conditions) thence arising; with trade diverted from its natural into forced and therefore unprolitable channels, and with unfriendly relations and frowning tarifi walls, ever more and more estranging us from the mighty Englishs speaking nation to the south, our neizh- bois and relations, with whom\u201d we ousht to be, as it was prom.sed that we shouid be, living in generous amity and kkeral intercourse.\u201cWorse, far worse; it has left us with \u2018lowered standards of public virtue, and a death-liks apathy in public opinion, with racial, re- lisjous and provincial animosities rather inflamed than soothed with a subservient Parliament, an autocratic executive, debauched constituencix and corrupted and corrupting classes, with lessened self-reli- ance and increased dependence on the public chest and legislative aids, and possessed withal by a boastful jingo spint, far enough removed from true manliness, loudly proclaiming unreal conditions and exaggerated sentiments wh'le actual facts and genuine opinions are suppressed.\u201cIt has left us with oar bands tied.cur future compromised and in such a pl\u2018sbt that, whether we szand or move.we must run some risks whicn else we might hare either declined or encountered with greater promise of succes.\u201d But Mr.Blake, like Sir Richard Cartwright, was able to turn to the fairer side of the shield.He did not stay in Cana dian politics long enough to sce the Jawn of the new era in which was shaken off that \u201cdeath-like apathy of public opinion\u201d which had well-nigh broken his heart.So it was with less cause than Sir Richard Cartwright now has to look to a better and a brighter future that Mr.Blake was \u2019 able to say in 151, \u201cYet let us never despair of our country.It is a goodly land endowed with great recuperative powers and vast resources, as yet almost undeveloped, n.babited by populations moral and religious, sober and industrious, virtuous and thriity, capable and instructed, the descendants of a choice immigration of men of mark and courage, encrgy and enterprise, in Lhe breasts of whose children still should glow the sparks of those ancestral fires.Under such conditions all is not lost.Though much be taken much abides.And if we do but awaken from our delusive dreams, face the stern facts in time, repair our errors and amend our ways, there may still remain for us despite the irrevocabie rast, a future if not so clear and bright as we might once have hoped, yet fair and honorable, dignified and secure.\u201d The past is dark enough and a heavy burden of responsibility is laid upon the shoulders of the men of the present, but it is no longer hard to believe that our future shall be such as Mr.Blake depicts \u201cFair and honorable, dignified and secure.\u201d The Cleveland Leader puts some pertinent questions as to the so-called Cuban republic, and the New York Sun which is a fierce advocate of the insurgent cause answers them in a manner which is interesting as going to show that the Republic in question is a thing of fact, and not a figment of the imagination of certain pot valiant Spanish Americans with headquarters in New York City.Questions and answers are as follows :\u2014 If a resolution should be adopted declaring that the republic of Cuba existed, and the President were willing to act on that resolution, where should official notice of its adoption be sent ?Send it to Cubitas, Province of Puerto Principe, Cuba.To whom should the message of good cheer be addressed ?Address it to President Cisneros.It will reach him as expeditiously as it would if addressed to Captain-General Weyler.By what route should the message be forwarded ?It may safely be forwarded by despatch messenger via Havana, or by the like to Nuevitas, which is situated near the inland headquarters of the revolutionary Government.When were the officials of the Cuban republic elected, and under what articles de they serve ?They were elected in the first year of the war, and the charter under which they serve contains some df the best features of the Constitution of the United States.Among the hundreds of holiday editions put forth by the newspapers of the continent this year, the series published by the Buffalo Illustrated Express, was onc of the handsomest.It consisted of three numbers, one for each week of the holiday season.The illuminated portions of each number were highly artistic, as .is most of the work that the Messrs.Matthews turn out in this line.Of the illustrations, one of the chief features was the reproduction of the work of the prize winners in the camera contest which the Express conducts annually.Some of these reproductions vere among the finest ever turned out on this continent, The special were excellent and the budget of news in the Canadian edition, which circulates largely on this side the lien was accurate nnd comprehensible.The Evening Telegram remarks.\u201cParts of Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s speech

the Legislature \u2014 A Reduced Majority.Quebec, Jan.4.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The Speaker of the Legislative Assembly took the chair at a late hour this afternoon.Several members have not yet returned from their liomes.The resolutions respecting the Eastera Townships Agricultural Association occupied the Houge for over an hour.The godiather of these measures, Mr.Braubian, was invited to explain, but refused to do 80, on the grounds that the contents of the resolutions constituted a proper ex planation.Mr.Dechene criticised Mr.Beaubien\u2019s action as being unconstitutional.\u201cThe Opposition,\u201d said Mr.Dechene, \u2018\u2018cannot see why the Government should engage the province for five years to come to give $25,000 of the public funds without telling the House how this money is going to he used.\u201d Mr.Beaubien replied that former Governments had made a contract for eighteen years with the Montreal Exposition Com: pany, and that this ought to justify the present Administration in granting $25,000 to a similar company in Sherbrooke.Mr.Girard (Rouville) was not slow in attacking the Commissioner of Agriculture for his statement.After having denoune- ed the former Administration of boodlers for the Montreal Exposition Company contract, said.Mr.Girard, the Government now wanted to imitate them, and make a bad contract.Mr.Panneton, member for Sherbrooke, rose and explained that the yearly sum of $5,000 for five years was to go for improvements of the exhibition grounds and buildings.Mr.Stephens then drew the attention of the House to the precedent that the Government wanted to create, by granting money to a private company.\u201cNothing in the resolutions before us,\u201d said Mr.Stephens, \u201cshows that the Eastern Town: ships Agricultural Association is obliged to hold a yearly exhibition for the next five years.Still, the association will pocket $5,000 every year, and when the Government subsidies have run out, the institution may go out of existence.At the in stance of the Haras National this associa tion is offered an opportunity to grow fat out of the public fund, and not render w single service to the country.\u201d Mr.Cooke also spoke.He denounced this new scheme of the Government as a confession on their\u201cpart of a coming de feat before the electorate.Before going out of power th& Ministers wanted to make their record: more complete, by tying dow the Provinee for five years to come, thus forcing the future Government to ac cept a share of the responsibility as to this proposed iniquity.If the Hon.Messrs, Taillon and Casgrain were still in the Government, such an extraordinary pro ceeding would not have been brought be fore the House.°.The Provincial Secretary took the Hoor to express his confidence in the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association, which, said he, had done good work in the past, and was worthy of the Government\u2019s as sistance.The Sherbrooke exhibitions had done more good from an agricultural point of view than any other one in tbe Pro vince of Quebec.The company needed tome money to encourage the dairy in: dustry, the live stock, etc., and that was.the reason why the Government now wanted to subsidize the company.At this point of Mr.Hackett\u2019s speech Mr.Dechene drew the attention of the House to the contradiction between the declarations of the speaker and that of Mr.Panneton, the latter having just said that the money asked for was to go for new buildings, ete, If the Hon.Mr.Beau- bien would only state how the money was to be spent, he (Mr.Dechene) would support the resolutions.The Commissioner of Agriculture thought of settling the point by proposing the following clause to be added to his resolutions : \u201cThat the money voted to the Eastern Townships Exposition Company shall not be spent without the sanction of the Commissioner of Agriculture.\u201d But this little scheme had no effect on the members of the Opposition, and the second reading was postponed until next sitting.LONGUE POINT ASYLUM.Shortly before six o\u2019clock the Hon.Mr.Hackett took the floor, and, after apologizing for coming so late before the House with his resolutions respecting Longue Pointe Asylum, he spoke at great length on the proposed renewal of the contract between the Provincial Government ard the reverend Sisters of Charity of Ero vidence for taking care of the patients of the Longue Point asylum.He made a review of the contract for the same from 1873 to 1895.After recess Mr.Hackett resumed his speech on the same subject.He continued to relate the various phases of the question.At 9.30 he took his seat, and the Hon.Mr.Marchand rose to reply to Mr.Hackett.The chief of the Opposition was received with a round of applause from the left.Mr.Marchand, while coinciding with the Provincial Secretary concerning the necessity for excluding all party feeling in the discussion of this very important question, felt it his duty to blame the Government for having delayed one year after the expiration of this very important ccntract, to propose its renewal to a moribund and incomplete Legislature, thereby involving the credit of the Province to a large amount for the long period of 23 years.He regretted also that the Government had not yet succeeded in coming to a definite arrangement, and that thev are now obliged to call upon the House to ratify in advance a convention to which, as admitted by the Hon.Provincial Secretary, the contracting parties are not get agreed.Thus the Government was binding to conditions which the proprietors of the asylum might reject nt their will, and leaving the Province in the unfavorable position of submitting to any conditions, however unfavorable, rather than leave the patients without a refuge.This resolution bound the Government to ap indefinite annual amount, over and ®ve the regular rate, for maintenance stipulated, in aid of the repayment of a loan of $300,000, for which the Govern- ment guaranteed the capital and was to pay the interest.He would discuss the question more fully at another stage of thir measure.Mr.NStephens followed the Hon.Mr.Marchand, and made some good remarks.He did not consider the price per patient, proposed to be paid as too extravagant, but he objected to an absolute contract for 23 years, without any pro visions to enable the Government to as sume at any timé the right to take charge of the insane, as in the United States.Ç The resolutions were then read a firs time, with the understanding that they would be further discussed at a further stage.MAGDALEN ISLAND LANDS.The Premier then brought his resolutions respecting the tenure of lands in the Magdalen Islands before the House for their second reading.The Hon.Mr.Marchand and Messrs.Dechene and Stephels gallantly fought this new measure.Mr.Dechene declared that of all the scandalous measures of the Government, brought before the House during this session, the Ministers bad struck a good day for them, to-day, but the Opposition was wide awake, and would fight out in their utmost capacity all wrong measures of the Government.Notwithstanding the strong opposition made, the resolutions passed without being amended, and a bill based upon the same was also passed.The new law enacts that whenever anw of the occupants of land in the Magdalen Islands avail them: selves of the provisions of thea Act, 58.Victoria, Chapter 45, and its amendments, respecting the tenure of lands in the Mag- dalen Islands, the Provincial l'reasuver shall pay, out of the Consolidated lte- venue fund, one-third of the sum payable for the redemption of the capital of the constituted rent created by the said act.Also, that it shall be lawful for the Provincial Treasurer to re-imburse to any occupant of land in the said islands, who has already availed himself of the said act, one-third of the capital of the constituted rent paid by him in effecting the re- dempfion of such rent.A BREACH OF FAITH.On motion to go into committee cf supply, the Hon.Mr.Märchand made the following extreme!y important motion : \u201cThis House finds ky Table C.contained in the Budget speech of the Honorable Treasurer, delivered on the 9th instant : 1.That the ordinary yearly excess ot receipts of this Province for the various years from 1890-91 compare as follows : Excess of receipts of 1892-93 over those of 1890-91, $927,510 ; excess of receipts of 1893-94 over those of 1890-91, $801,584: excess of receipts of 1894-55 over those of 1890-91, $764,543 ; excess of receipts of 1805-96 over those of 1890-91, $870,766 ; total increase of receipts for four years, $3,364,403 ; average of such increase per annum, $841,100.\u201c2.That from the 17th December, 1891, the consolidated debt of this Province has increased in the following proportions :\u2014 17th December, 1891, $25,200,873 ; 30th June, 1892, $24,175,330 ; 30th June, 1893, $25,104,266 ; 30th June, 1894, $28,196,574 ; 30th June, 1895, $29,345,402 ; 30th June, 1896, $31,211,282, which indicates an increase in the consolidated debt from 17th December 1891, to 30th June, 1896, of \"$6,001,409, to which must be added the amount of the bonds issued since 30th June, last, for the loan of May, 1896, not included in the above statement, $1,070,667, making the present total increase of the consolidated debt equal to $7,702,076, since the 17th December, 1891.\u201cThat the excess of liabilities over assets on the.30th June, 1896, compares as follows, with that of 30th June, 1891: Excess of liabilities over assets on 30th June, 1896, after deducting railway subsidies declared lapsed by the Act 57, Vic, Changer 5, $22,156,346 ; excess of liabilities over assets on 30th June, 1891, according to statement No.7, of Budget speech of 20th May, 1892, $22,412,324 ; from which must be deducted the subsidies declared lapsed by 57 Vie., $2,018,760.\u201c The subsidies which would have lapsed under the Act 54, Vie.,, Chapter 88, S.5.6 and 8, under the subsequent legislation, 56 Vie., Chapter 3 and 58 Vie, { Chapter 2, for which the present Ministers are responsible, $517,142, and the special expenditure earried to the liabilities of 1890-91 for non-performed work,\" according to Table 4, of the Budget speech of the 20th May, 1892, $523, 971.Real increase for 1896, over 1891, $2,773,904.\u201cThat, in his budget speech, delivered on the 28th May, 1892, page, 39, the Honorable Provincial Treasurer, speaking in the name and under the responsibility of the Government, of which he was a member, made the following statement: \u2018There is but one course open, and that is to bring about equilibrium between our receipts and expenditure, and avoid new obligations, This means increased taxation.My predecessor got over all his difficulties by making loans and using trust funds, but this we have now to stop if for no other reason than that the Province should not resort to further borrow- nz\u201d \u201cThat by this declaration the Government solemnly pledged itself to the Legislature to restore equilibrium in the f£- nances, by means of the increased annual revenue obtained by the new taxes, and without increasing the liabilities of the Province nor the consolidated debt.\u201cWhereas, it appears by the above official figures, that the increase in yearly receipts, derived from these new loans Flynn Governments have administered since the De Boucherville, Taillon and Flynn Govrnments thave administered the affairs of this Province, has been, on an average, $481,100 per anum, and that this increase represents a total of $3,464, 403 for the past four years.\u201cThat this increase of revenue was more than sufficient, with economical and prudent management, to restore financial equilibrium without its being necessary to have recourse to loans.\u201d \u2019 \u201cThat, far from limiting the annual ordinary and extraordinary expenditure to the amount of the yearly receipts so increased, as it had pledged itself to the Legislature, through its treasurer, the Government has maintained its expen-li- ture at a figure which has caused annual deficits amountigg, for the past four year, to a total of $473,364, as shown by Table B, o fthe budget speech delivered on the 9th December, 1896.\u201cThat consequently, our Provincial cabinet has completely failed in the mission it had undertaken; that it has deceived this Leg#ature by inducing it to vote the new taxes, on the understanding that they would suffice to restore equilibrium between receipts and expenditure without hawing recourse to loans, and that it hag reriously compromised the financial posi: tion of this Province, instead of improving it.\u2019 Of course the above motion was lost by a heavy straight party vote, But the principle contained in this motion wag laid before the House, and is now put before the public, who mar be more im- rartial judges of its value than the members who voted against it.MR.J.S.HALL'S FEES.Just when the Ministers were smiling end preparing themselves to carry some items of the estimates, Mr.Stephens ip.troduced the following motion, which fell like a dynamite bomb amongst the Ministerial ranks: \u2018Whereas, it appears by an answer of Hon.Mr.Flynn on the 9th December instant, to the question, \u201cWhat amount has been paid to the Hon, J, §, \u201cthe Hall by the Government, or ot he ublic treasury, since he has ¢ wi go , member of the Government un i other title than of member 0 he the lative Assembly,\u201d to which qu or 06.28 Hon.Mr.Flynn made answer,

.J.b.pus loth January, 1895, but the con- tinuancé of this exception to the Inde pendence of Parliament Act is calcula a to establish a dangerous precedent, nd this House views with regret the con in ance of a practice so subversive of the best interests of parliamentary govern- , mes Premier and his colleague, the Pro- vineial Treasurer rose to say, that, in their opinion, Mr.Hall\u2019s services were not too well paid.; * Messrs.?stephens and Lemieux were vigorous in their denunciation of this policy of the Government, In paying extravagant sums to lawyers.Mr.Lemieux also deneunced the Government\u2019s action when they paid $10,000 to Mr.MacMaster, Q.C., for one case alone.The motion was lost by a vote of 29 against 17, Messrs.MacDonald and Carter deserting the Ministerial ranks to vote with the Opposition.Mr.Parizeau, who was asleep when the question was put, did not vote at all.Mr.Bernatchez had paired with the Crown Lands Commissioner, and Mr.Carbray with the Hon.Mr.Shehyn.Great applause burst forth from the Opposition side to see the Government's majority reduced to 12.After voting a few items of the estimates, the House adjourned, at 12.30 a.m., when it was agreed that on and after to-morrow, there will be three sittings per day.THE UNITED STATES SENATE.(The N.Y.Outlook.) One of the most painful aspects of the recent Hurry about Cuban atfairs caused by the agitation of the matter in the Senate has been the evidence in so many quarters of the diminished respect paid to that body in foreign countries.There was a time, as Bishop Potter reminded the readers of The Outlook in his admirable sermon published two weeks ago, when the United States Senate was synonymous with ability, distinction, and leadership.\u2018I'he men who gave it pre-emi- nence as a legislative body were no more free from faults than their successors today, but they had a largeness of view which brought with it a certain steadiness, and which gave the Senate, what it ought never to lose, the authority which flows from dispassionate and theroughly intel ligent dealing with pulbxic questins.In recent years the personnel of the Senate has not only suffered a great decline, but it has ceased to be a deliberative and gon- servative body.By a strange transformation, the House of Representatives has become more deliberative and conservative than the Senate.The foreign journals are saying in many different ways that very little attention ought to be attached to the vaporings of the United States Senate, and unfortunately the people of the country are saying the same thing.They expect from the Senate a strong, dignified,\u2019 judicial dealing with foreign matters; instead of that they have had a nervous, agitated, fussy, and often needlessly offensive dealing with these matters.Messrs.Morgan and\u2019 Chandler give evidence in ability and manners of the immense decline in the authority of the Senate from the days of Webster and Calhoun.What the Senate necds is the presence of two or three strong, vigorous leaders who are afraid neither of their constituencies nor of their associates.Beethoven.We reproduce the vigorous and expressive pen-sketch of the \u201cGiant of the Symphony,\u201d published in the November issue of the Gazette des Beaux Arts.It was found by Mme.Baurnfeind, of Vienna, in an album of sketches made by a contemporary artist.The authentic portraits of Beethoven are few, and most of them are not good.- This sketch, so simple and hasty, yet expressing so much, is specially interesting, because it confirms in every line the impression of the best extant likenesses, and conveys a striking sugges- ticn of the mingled fire and gloom, tne grandeur and the abiding secsve or that leonine head, and face of genius, \u2014_\u2014 THE SOLITARY WOODSMAN, When the gray lake water rushes Past the dripping alder-bushes, And the bodeful autumn wing 4 In the fir-tree weeps and hushes\u2014 - \u201c When the air is sharply dam Round che solitary camp, P Ng An e moose-bush iu the thi dsl Glimmers like a scarlet lamp\u2014 chet ir When the coral bunches mellow « !

new-woman-y.But it means lives\u2014the fives of little cnu- dren whom prompt intelligent assistance might save, the lives of their elders too, upon whom disease fastens for the final wrestle, while ignorance is preparing to see what it means.Down at the Windsor Station on New Year's Eve there was a grand exhibition of human nature.Some of it was very human.Some faces had been touched from the divine within and they were very beautiful.A poor man lumbered about with uncertain steps.He was not old as years go, but he was broken in body and crushed in spirit.There was a leer on his face, and a black bottle swung its head from his inside pocket as his faded old top-coat swayed open with his steps.There were girls there, happy-faced innocent girls in a flutter of excitement over expected friends or the prospect of a journey.A tired, worn woman leaned her head against the wall.An old shawl swathed her head and neck, and the brown-wrinkled face looked uncanny in the shadow.A mother and son came in.He was only a school-boy in size, but a courtly gentleman in the way he looked after his sweet-faced shabbily dressed mo- \u2018ther.Clang and clamor, hiss, screech, and roar came in to us there as the great doors swung to and fro, and then, presently, the laden train came in, and in a little we were rattling off towards.the mountain, the great mound pointing heavenward, and taking the thoughts of men upward quite as surely, perhaps, ar the forest of spires driven into the haze that rested upon the house-tops.MADGE MERTON.MILITARY INSURANCE.Hon.Dr.Borden Proposes to Make a Change,

\u201cthere is nothing of especial public interest at present engaging the attention of my department, except the details of a pension scheme.You know that for years past it has been a source of complaint among ofi- cers and men of the permanent corps, and members of the headquarters and district staffs that there has been no provision for their old age, that in fact, they devote their lives to work which unfits them for other pursuits, and as soon as their usz- fulness is gone they are turned out to starve, \u201cIt has been usual to give officers who are retired, an allowance of two

POINT ASSAULT CASE.Mrs.John Morgan, of Point St.Charles, appeared before Judge Dugas in the Police Court yesterday in connection with the cuse of aggravated assault against her fatMer and mother-in-law, Francis and Mary Morgan.Young Mrs.Morgan presented a terrible appearance as the result of the scalding sho received at the hands, it is alleged, of her husband's parents.Her heud was swathed in bandages, as well as her left arm.She did not wish to proceed with the case, but in answer to _ Judge Dugas said it was one of aggravated , assault.The judge adjourned the case till Friday next.: ALMONTE.i Almonte, Ont., Jan.5.\u2014(Special).\u2014The town of Almonte is at the present time in the greatest need of another railroad.Tha decline of industries in this progressive town was not the ipsult of any Government policy.The National Policy speakers claimed that the new policy would give rise to new industries, but nothing was said about the maintenance of these industries.Now visitors to Almonte can look yvith wonder on the once glowing splendbrs of the N.P., which now mark the time when larger concerns swallowed the smaller ones.But for the present Almonte necds a new railroad.The rates are too high on the C.I.R., and, although we have one of the finest water powers in Canada today, few new companies ever think of coming to Almonte, because we bave mo facilities for transportation.One of the questions now before the p:ople of Lanark is the question of new railrcads.One company intends building a railroad from the Carp to Lanark, form: ing a junction at Almonte, and the other company propose building an electric railway from Perth to Lanark.During the last Dominion elections Mr, Rosamond made political capital out of this question, and went so far as to say that he bad placed an item in the estimates for this purpose, but we are all aware how the item came there.However, Almonte will wait patiently until some future time, when the \u2018rush\u2019 at Ottawa is over, and will lay their case before the new Minister of Railways.Many intelligent Catholics of this town have expressed their regret at the action of the Catholic clergy of Quebec in their dealings with the Liberals of the Province.One Catholic, high up.in the church cir cles, said: \u201cThey are the same class of clergy who condemned in the s2verest terms and language the Orangemen and P.P.A.when they first took part in elec ; tiops, and instructed therr members how.to vote and who to vote for.Now the Catholic Bishops of Quebec are turning the whole race of Protestants against us, and giving the Orangemen, P.P.A.\u2019s and similar societies a chance to expose our church, and turn our fellow-countrymen against us.Let me tell you that if the Bishops excommunicate Laurier, Tarte and others they can excommunicate me.\u201d At the time when it was supposed there was to be a dissolution of the Ontario Legislature Mayor Thorburn retired from the mayoralty contest, and the public were informed that he was about to be- : come a candidate for the Provincial Par- lisment, replacing Mr.R.T.Preston, M.P.P., in the Conservative interest.But now as the Hon.Mr.Hardy has contradicted the statement about the dissoln- tion, adding that there would be no elec- ti~n for some time, Mr.fhorburn is out in the cold for at least two more years, and, if he attempts to run for Parliament, forever.Mr.Thorburn is too good a town helyer to lose, and it is best to let him shine in municipal politics rather than ree him occupy a position where he will have no weight or influence.THE CORONER'S BUSY YEAR.That Coroner McMahon and his assistants have been busy men during the year just closed is evidenced by the statistics.During 1896, 572 inquests were he'd, which is an increase of 100 over 1893.During December 64 inpuests were held, being the largest number in any one month since Mr.McMahon has been Coroncr.THE POLICE COURTS YHAR.Mr.St.Mars, clerk of the Police

time this year, Mayor Evans pre- ' siding.Those present were Councillors Redfern, Greig, Bulmer, Walker, Hutchi- son, and Secretary-treasurer Minto.The following letter was read from Mr.G.Durnford, which is of the greatest interest to all residents of Westmount: \u201cWhile I do not for a moment assume that it is part of the duty of a Council to make history, still T cannot but think that the facts narrated in the enclosed copies of letters addressed to me will have some interest to the Councillors.One from Mr.Alphonse Leduc, of Chicago, pointing out that his ancestors settled at Cote St.Antoine in 1660 or only eighteen years after the foundation of Montreal; the other from Mr.I\".Hurtubise, of 563 Cote St.Antoine Road, showing that his family acquired their land in 1697, As a matter of fact, the house he resides in is older than the Chateau de Ramezay, and has been continuously inhabited to date by the direct descendants of the builder.Finally, I would QOI3BIIPISUOD I[QRIOAR] ANOKA 0} PUIUITOD \u2018as opportunity may afford\u2019 the suggestion of Mr.Leduc that the names of the first settlers be perpetuated by naming streets after them.\u201d AN OLD FAMILY.The following is a copy of Mr.Leduc\u2019s letter, referring to his history in West- mount: \u201cI was born at Cote.St| Antoine a little over fifty years ago, in the same house, built by one of my ancestors when he first bought the property from the priests in 1660, on what you mention as Murray's, Westmount.It was a pretty cottage, I remember well, with a galléry in front, somewhat in the style of Green Hythe, flanked by two giant poplars, on the crcat of the hill, about a hundred yards in front of where the Murray residence now stands.It was destroyed by fire, while unoccupied in the early fifties.The farm was sold by my father, Mr.Louis Leduc, to Messrs.Me- Pherson and Patterson, of Scotland, in 1845.It came to the hand of Mr.Mur- vay about ten years later.\u201d Mr.Leduc suggested that now that the old farm was being divided into city lots, it would be eminently proper to have one of the streets of the farm, which extended from Cote des Neiges to the Tanneries, named after the first owners who occupied the place ro long.Mr.Greig approved of the idea of perpetuating the names of old residents by naming streets after historic families.The letter, with reference to this matter from Mr.George Durnford, was referred to the Finance Committee.Many routine matters were discussed.COUNCIL\u2019S GENERAL BUSINESS.The report of the chief of police and the road master regarding the probable cost of scavenging when performed by the town, was submitted and discussed.It was resolved to expend an amount not to exceed one thousand dollars on a scavenging outfit, a by-law to regulate the svstem of scavenging to be prepared immediately.It was moved by Mr.Bulmer, seconded by Mr.Walker, that permission be not granted Mr.LeBoeuf to open a woodvard at the corner of Gladstone Avenue and St.Catherine Street.\u2018The Finance Committeee reported approval of the idea that all the departments of the corporation should report their respective operations in detail during the year, the whole to be published for the benefit of rate-payers.FRE BRIGADE IMPROYEMENTS.The Fire Underwriters\u2019 Association, in a brief report, suggested some improvements in the fire brigade of the town.A committee of the whole Council met afterwards in private session and tis cussed the recommendation of the Road Committee regarding the acceptance of Grosvenor and Roslyn Streets from W'est- ern Avenue to the north-western limits of the town.The Council accepted it under certain conditions, providing for crosa streets (Westmount Avenue and the Boulevard), all proprietors to waive their claims for damages on account of alterations in grade.i In regard to a recent protest received by Branch Office, at 4232 St Catherine Street, ticipants in the wedding looked brilliant

held on Friday, January 15th.The financial standing of the church is well-known to b2 sound, and the statement to be made public next week will, no doubt, please everyone connected with the church so ably managed.Rev.Mr.McGillivray, the pastor.has managed his responsibilities with the greatest credit, while the sterling Scottish carefulness of the managers is evidenced in the prosperity of the church.The Herald\u2019s weather-wise friend says there has come an end of spring days in wii ter; away out in the western plains, wild winds are driving a cold wave eastward.It will be here to-night, and will break against the muck and gloom of several days past, just in time to rescue the New Year from its verdaure and threats of many graves.Meteorologically speaking the weather has been an anomaly for three days, but by to-morrow morning no citizen will have cause to complain that it is not winter.IROQUOIS.Iroquois, Jan.4.\u2014Last TFrilay, New Year's night, a very pleasant entertainment and tea were given to the young folk of the primary class of the Methodist Sun- dav School.There were some hundreds of little children, none more than seven years of age, who indeed presented a very happy spectacle.Little Catherine Sherman and Hazel Beach each sang a solo.The orchestra furnisbed musie for the evening, and Mr.Walter Robson acted as Santa Claus.Before dismissing the gathering, Miss Shaver, the teacher of the class, was presented with a purse by little Bella Tindale and Ralph Lett.At 8.30 the meeting was grought to a close, and the little people went home to dream of the many things they had seen and heard.This afternoon Mr.Henry J.McQuigg, the largest exg dealer in this district, oass- ed away very suddenly.Mr.McQuigg had be~n ailing for the last ven days, but his illness was not thought serious until yes: terdav when he received the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church.Mr.Me- Quicg has been ailing for the last twenty vears with that dread disease consumption, but the immediate cause of his death was constipation.He has been @& prominent man in business, and for the last eicht years a member of the Public School Board, and was again %efore ths public for election to that office, which was to take place to-morrow.Mr.Me- Quigr held policies in the A.O.U.W.and the Select Knights.A case of asphvxiation, in which Mrs Betsy Sipes and the orphan girl who lives with her were nearly brought to the donor of death, occurred vesterdav.Mr.Mer chant, their next door neighbor.called at the house, and, after considerable pound- int on the door, the girl was aroused and came to the door and opened it, staggering Fackward.The doors and windows were thrown open, and, after restoratves were administered, Mrs.Sipes was Lrousht around.A few more minutes and it would have been too late.BLECTRIC WIRES CAUSE FIRI, One of the cross-arms that supports the electric wires on the roof of the Conservative Club, corner St.James and St.Francois

young gentlemen from Montreal have gained themselves a host of admiring friends who will bid them farewell with regret says the Manitoba Free Press.It will ha a source of sorrow to Winnipeggers to sce the Stanley Cup depart, but all agree it could not travel in better company.The sleeping car in which the Victorias will travel will be lavishly decorated with maroon and white, the club colors, of the champions.A large number of friends of the victors will be at the depota to wish them bon voyage.\u201cWe didn\u2019t think with you in the matter of the Sta\u2019nley Cup,\u201d said one of the

this wish we are joined by every hockeyist\u2014 and everybody else for that matter\u2014in the east.\u201d Last evening the visitors accepted the invitation of the management of The (Grand and occupied the boxes at the opera.The performances of the Colum- Lias have been a pleasing feature of the entertainment of the Montreal men, wha have shown their appreciation by being liberal with handsome Louquets for the principals, THE TEAM THAT DID IT.The team of the Victorias which defeated the Winnipegs included the two substitutes, Hartland MacDougall and Gille- lan, who replaced Henderson and MecLea respectively.NOT STRONG AS CURLERS.Members of the Vietoria Hockey Club of Montreal and the Victoria Hockey Club of this city concluded to try their hand at curling yesterday afternoon, says the Manitoba Free Press.President Nixon of the local Vics, accordingly challenged President Wilson, of the Mont- realers, to combat, a stipulation being that all should be thoroughly green players.The \u201cdefy\u201d was accepted by Mr.Wilson and the game took place at the Granite rink.President Nixon was determined to reverse the score of Wednesday night's hockey match, and he

picked from the Brock- ville Fooibail Club.The ice was in very poor condition, but the spectators were treated to a hard game mingled with considerable roughness, the St.Lawrence being the aggressors, winning by four to one.Owing to lack of ice the team will not be in first-class condition for the championship game with the Capitals next Saturday night, in Brockville.The little fellows have no idea of winning, but the Senators will have to hustle in order to score a victory.Under the sircumstancea they are practising as faithfully as possible.ROWING AND SAILING.NED HANLAN'S CHATTY LETTER.Ned Hanlan contributes the following letter to the current issue of Turf, Field, and Farm.It is interesting reading for the general publie, and Jake Gaudaur in articular: \u2014 .Pou cannot imagine how pleased Mrs, Hanlan and I were to hear from you.Since I last saw you, have travelled considerably, and this world is much smaller in my estimation than it was twentv years ago, when I left Toronto alone, with one : boat and one pair of sculls, to take part in the Centennial regatta at Philadelphia, snd when 1 arrived there no one knew who I was or where I came from.My weight was then only 140 pounds, and had, to compete against fifteen of the best men in the world.I can hardly realize that it is 24 years ago since I won my first race, and yet I raced seven races last summer, beating the best oarsmen in America.I feel as well and as strong as I ever did, and my digestive powers are as good as they were; can stand more work than ever, think nothing of racing twenty miles daily.It might be interesting to vour readers to explain the advance ment we have made in scailing.Twenty.five vears ago a champion sculler of the world vould not row three miles in much lesa than 22 minutes, and to-day if I could not row three miles in 19 minutes und 10 or 15 seconds, I would not have a ghost of a chance to win.I have taken part in regattas and match races in every part of the globe, on rivers, lakes, and streams; altogether I have rowed in over three hundred and fifty races, in fours, deubles, and singles, The amount of money won in regattas, exhibitions, match faces, ete., should score up to three hun: dred and twenty thousand dollars.I might say here that a champion oarsman well managed should make from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars a year.The best men I have seen were Beach, Trickett, and young Searle, of Australia.Either one of those men could row on any kind of water, rough or smooth.They were not like the class of scullers we have in this country, who can only row when the water is as smooth as a looking-glass; not one practical oarsman in the whole squad.I was perfectly disgusted with them last summer.Most every regatta and match race I attended, if the water happened to be a little rough, they refused to row, and disap: pointed thousands of people who were sitting in the broiling sun all afternoon, and had to retire in disgust.Men of that calibre are not likely to improve the interest in rowing in this country.I notice there is not the came interest taken in the sport as when 1 was cham- plon.Don\u2019t hear of the amount of bet ting nowadays.Gaudaur bea: Stansbury for the championship last September, and [ don\u2019t believe the \u2018Toronto sports won $500.When I beat Trickett for the championship of the world, the Foronto sports Won over $5,000.I have no hesitation mn saying the amount of money exchanged between England, Anstratia, and Aenca would be near a rullian and a half dol'ais.I had five thousand on myself.I think that the Trickett race, ana the Beach race in Australia were the largest batting ov ents that 1 ever took part in.On the Beach race I wagered nauly ten thousand dol lars.This will give your readers au idea of the interest the Australians 100k in the race between Beach and myseli.The admission was ten guineas for reserved seats and three guineas for standing room on the steamer that followed the race.Our receipts from the steamer were neariy filteen thousand dollars.The number that attended that race on the Paramatta river were estimated at two hundred and filty thousand people.The betting was enormous.If I had won, my winnings \u201cwould have been nearly fifty thousand dollars.Recognizing that I could not always Le champion, I must say that T have been honored by the best people of the United States and Canada, and also by the nobility of England and Australia.I have in my home here in Toronto over 300 presents of all kinds, from a toothpick worth ten cents up to a valuable painting of mys self worth $5,000.Will say that I am pleased that Mr.Gaudaur, a fellow-countryman, brought to America the aquatic championship of the world.I heard a good joke on Gauda:r, Four years ago when in Austin, Texas, preparing for the regatta, he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter, and gave his age as 37; three years later he returned to Austin, Texas, and was mterviewed by the same reporter, and in this interview he was only 36; it certainly seemed as if he had made a mistake in his calculations, Just a word about the difference be- twcen the English and the American-built racing boat.The English-built boat will not last as long in this country as the American boat, as it is built too light, and not stiff enough to stand the roughness of our lakes, but as for model these boats are equal in every respect to ours.I have seen quite a number of eight-oared crews training in America, and think their theory is wrong; too much artificial rowing about it.Wishing your valuable paper every sue.cess, and that I will be able to give your readers further information on aquatics; heping this will find vou in the best of health, with kind regards from Mrs.Hans lan and myseif, Yours truly.EDWARD HANLAN.P.8.\u2014Had nothing but ups and downs in Australia; the first four months I wus there was over five thousand pounds to the goed; but like all others could not come home.Toronto, Dee.1898.hy THE RING.FITZ SIGNS THE ARTICLES.New York, Jan.5.\u2014Robert Fitzsimmons signed the articles of agreement for the fight with James J.Corbett for a purse of £15,060 and a side bet of $5,000 in Jersey City this afternoon.The meeting between he and Stuart took place in Taylor's Hotel.Among the sporting .men present were Captain Moere, Joe Vendig and Sam Fitz- pat-iek.HIS HAND HURTS HIM.New York, Jan.4.\u2014Bob Fitzsimmons is worrying considerably over the condition of his right hand.One of the knuckles is swollen to twice its natural size.The knuckle was in such a painful state the other night that Fitz was compelled to seck the advice of a doctor, and received a littla velief, Yesterday, however, he called upon the doctor again.The champion thinks that he will be all right scon.He believes that tÎe injury was caused by his hand coming in contact with Sharkey's head.JEM MACE IN TORONTO.Toronto, Jan.4\u2014Well-preserved, hearty and prosperous-looking, Jem Mace the cleverest and most successful of all the old-time fighters, is again visiting \u2018Loron- to, where he was last seen twenty years ago.The retired champion of the world has had a marvellous career in the ring since he took up the game at fifteen years of age and went boxing at the fairs of his native England.At 63 years of age he retains the old skill that made him unbeatable, and says that he believes he was at his best, not in his younger days, but when he was 40 years old.At his recent exhibition in Philadelphia Arthur Chambers said :\u2014\u201c If Jem was about 40 years he would gve all the present champs a game.He was the greatest man that ever put on a glove, bar none.He could get in and hit any once, and, when he did hit, it counted.And as for defence, why none of the modern guys were in it with Jem.\u201d On his present trip the ex-champion is accompanied by Dick Collver and Lew Morris, the middle-weight and light-weight English champions, and he has secured the services of the old-time manager, Harry Webb.They will make a short tour of the principal Canadian cities.On Friday night at the Princess, Mace will set- to with Mr.John ¥.Scholes, with whom he boxed when in Toronto in 1876.He has a high opinion of Jack's skill and said \u2018 to him last night: \u201cIf you had gone into the business seriously none of them could have beaten you.You had the cleverness and the activity none of the big ones had, you an agility that was a big advantage.\u201d A number of other bouts are arranged for what should be a very interesting entertainment.WATER POLO.GRAND TRUNKS FOR NEW YORK.New York, Jan.4.\u2014There is every pros pect that the water polo team of the Grand Trunk Boat Clyb, of Montreal, and the water polo team of the New York and your running gave ; THE HERALD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 180% Athletic Club will play another series of three games.Manager Wall, orf the Can- the details.The games will p&bbably take place some time in February.The Grand Trunk boys met the Mercury Foot boys last winter, and although defeated two straight games, by scores 7 to 0 and 5 to 0, made a very favorable impression.CHESS.WHY STEINITZ WAS BEATEN.Steinitz writes as follows to the New York Sun from Moscow, under date De cember 17th :\u2014 \u201cWhy am I so badly beaten\u2019 In the first place, because Lasker is the greatest player I ever met, perhaps the greatest who ever lived.To say so positively would be like making excuses for myself and disparaging other rivals at a time when I am incapable to compete in the first rank.\u2018A chess master has no more right to be ill than a general on the battle-field,\u201d or words to that effect, ] once wrote, and 1 adhere to that.I may state that my fearful breakdown is chieci- ly due, as usual, to sleeplessness and ner vous exhaustion, this time aggravated by curious causes, which may interest the Kneipp Society in New York.\u201cWhen I left Worishofen 1 felt nearly well and sure of beating my opponent, but I reckoned without my host.Strange to say.one cannot get cold water and fresh air in Russia; at least, the hosts in hotels do not provide for such commodities.The windows are hermetically closed all day, and there is only a small opening at each for letting in some air for a few minutes at a time.as the rooms are over-heated and a little fir is worse than none.The water pipes are attached to the heating apparatus or ovens, and you cannot get cold water to bathe in or to drink.There has not been very cold weather yet, and when I asked for ice I was told that they wanted the little they had, and no fresh ice has been gathered this season.The consequence Was à reaction such as 1 have never before experienced.One day 1 fainted, and if a friend had not arrived in time, I might have gone off.\u201cWhat effect all this had on my play let others judge.My belicf is that I had the better of it in the majority of games, or at least such games and at points where I committed gross blunders; but after a few hours\u2019 play I broke up.Lasker would help himself from the effects of close air by walking exercises, while I had to stop in a room owing to a bad knee-joint, which got worse.\u201d * , \u2014_\u2014 TURF AND TRACK.THREE FAVORITES WON.New Orleans, Jan.4.\u2014Three favorites won over a

who played cricket for Surray as bowler, wicket-keeper, and batsutii, and wlio took the first All-iingland eleven to Æus- tralia some thirty years ago, was buried at Uppingham, his native place on Monday last.The son of a doctor, Stephenson was left an orphan, and became a retainer to the royal family of Orleans.Ile was afterwards huntsman in \\orces- tershire to the Comte de Paris.Since 1872 he had been the school professional at Uppingham, and in that capacity trained : many first-class cricketers among whom were Messrs.C.E.Green, A.P.Lucas, S.8S.Schultz,, W.H.Patterson, H.B.Steel, W, McG.Hemingway.G.R.Bards- well, C.EE.Wilson and G.McGregor.He was entirely devoted to the school, which he made his home, and in which he excrted a unique influence.His knowledge of the game of cricket was hardly surpassed.He was in his 65th year.dl.THE GUN.CANADIANS ALSO BREAK THE LAW.The Fish and Game Protection Club, of : Montreal, he!d its regular monti:ly meeting yesterday afternoon and before it was placed a very interesting report.The 1docil Government at Quebec a month aso asked the Club to lend it the services of the Warden for a month for special work near Quebec.This was consented to and the Warden went down to that section i of the Province where the State of Maine runs parallel with Quebec until the frontier line rf New Brunswick is strueck.The Baker River is the line of demavecation be.twezn Maine and Quebec.The Government had heard that there was a good deal of poaching being done in this section of the Proviice, and the Mont- veal man\u2019s visit confirmed the report.He fcund.that the Americans crossed in sounds from Maine and hunted and 3shed through thi< region to treir lhard\u2019s con.tnet.When the warden, who, by the bye, was alone, challenged them,

is one of the wildest in the Proviuce.\u2018tcems with game of all kinds, and the jl legal hunters would just as soon shoot a man as they would a deer.They were desperate men and it required a strong force to subdue them.Incidentally, whiie on this trip.the warden discovered that the Americans were not the only offenders, and recure.l evidence of the illegal slauh- tor of deer agrirst over

with the doings of \u2018the Yacht Racing Association and their arbitrary and suspicious methods of conducting yacht rae- ing.What is called the \u201cBodagh scandal\u201d hes caused Payne, the official measurer for Southampton to resign becausz he has not received the support of the council of the Yacht Racing Association in carrying out their instructions.The Yachtsman says :\u2014\u2018\u2019The Bodagh scandal seems to be in reality a belated effort of the council | to excuse its conduct in the matter of i Niagara's water tanks.\u201d A FALSE RUMOR DENTED.Ottawa, Jan.5\u2014An official donial was ve-terday given to the rumor which has \u201cbeen afloat for some time that the Tov- {ernment dces not intend to repeal the | Franchise Act next session.The Nice | Press said: \u201cA report has been published : to the effect that the Government has de- H.H.Brown of the Beanont Urecet ; Cided not to ropeal the Franchise Act ot i the next s\u2019ssion of Parliament.Th's re.i port is premature snd misleading.An.thority is given for the denial of the state: ment, as it is the intention of the Government to introduce a bill early during the coming session repealing the present Iran- chise Act.\u201d The very finest table board is served to the regular patrons of the Cafe Monaco, (Mme.Deperrouzel), 121 Vitre Street.The week\u2019s spoon competition at the .idea what Sharkey' means by \u201cspring\u201d.AT THE THEATRES, The Mandarin a Big Success at the Academy.GUILBERT'S DATE FIXED.The Francais has The Phenix and Vaudeville, Cotton King at the Royal \u2014 Miss Rubenstein's Coming Concert \u2014 Furniss.It seemed like old times at the Academy last might.There was a real, live, up-to- date, comic opera.Just the kind of per formance that Montreal used to pay $6,000 to £7,000 in one week to see and hear.\u201cThe Mandarin, DeKoven and Smith's latest success, was presented with all the detail by the same clever people, and with ; the same beautiful scenery that marked i its success at the Herald Square Theatre, : New York\u2014and that is not advance |agent's talk, either.When the curtain went up on .a very ; pretty scene in the city of Yoo Chow, \u2018erowded with handsome women with gor- \"geous gowns, pleasurable anticipation shone from every face in the audience.The anticipation was no more pleasurable that the realization.From the first to the last, particularly towards the last, the performance, both musically and humorously, is one to be compared to any such entertainment of to-day, and in the comparison \u201cThe Mandarin would not suffer.There is no use entering into the details of the plot.Such as it is, it is good; good enough for comic opera.But who wants to be bothered in trying to keep track of a story when you can listen to charming music, funny little speeches by the comedians, and gaze upon pretty faces and shapely forms clad in orthodox Chi: nese robes or Jarbeau-fitting trousers stolen from the more civilized world.The name of ihe opera suggests its location; it is of The Mikado order, though there is no more \u2018\u2018steal\u201d about it than there is between Robin Hood and The Forest ers.Mr.DeKoven's music is extremely beautiful, and it never lacks originality.In absolute contrast to Robin Hood, it has but few airs that can be carried away, and hummed by any but a mu sician.Yet it is strange that while it is being listened to, it is as pleasurable to the man who doesn\u2019& know a B flat chord from a bottle of sarsaparilla as it is to the man who thoroughly understands it.Mr.Smith has furnished a very enjoyable libretto, full of pretty speeches for the girls, and witticisms for the comedians.Tt is difficult to tell just where Mr.Smith leaves off and Mr.Boniface begins, as far as the comedy lines are concerned.George Boniface, whom we last saw here with Camille D\u2019Arville, is a capital humorist; no one ever accused George of being a singer, but that doesn\u2019t I matter.He is splendidly assisted by George Honey and Ilarry Norman; the latter sings the Emperor, and his excellent baritone has a splendid opportunity.The tenor of the company, Joseph Sheehan, made a pronounced hit, particularly with the ladies.Ting Ling, the Mandarin\u2019s favourite wife (he has no less than twelve of them, and they are all pretty), is played, or, rather, sung by Miss Adele Ritchie.She suits the part admirably, and sings it to perfection, but she ought to hold that baby right side up\u2014not necessarily with care.Bertha Waltzinger is as charming as ever.Her beautiful soprano voice was never heard to Detter advantage than | when she pitched it to a fmezzo in the duet with Mr.Sheehan.Then there is ; Alice Barnett, a good actress, shapely Claudia Carlstedt, winning Helen Redmond, and a score of others of whom lots could be written.The Parasol dance in the third act \u2018must not be forgotten; it is new, and it is well done and deserved its four encores.\u2018 THE FRANCAIS.Tn The Phoenix the management of the Theatre Francais have chosen another spl nil attraction which is first-class in | every respeet.It was presented vester- day afternoon, for the first time, to the | largest audience ever present at a malinea in this theatre: a fact which speaks much for its popularity, The Phoenix is one of those plays which, : While teaching a lesson useful the world over, is evidently designed as a fun-maker and this it ec r'ainly proved itse'f yesterday.It is not a new story\u2014that seema almost out of the question there days-but \u201cit has so many redeeming features that no ove can with honesty find any fault, Mr.King has the lion\u2019s share of tha | work; but he's bix enough, and able erough to do well all he undertakes, and h~ pave a clever impersonation of Jim ; Pludroe, the phoenix that sprang from the ashes of Carroll Graves.Mr.Gaden was himself again in the villain\u2019s role.Mr, _ \\Wcotall does not \u201ceem happy in the part of Moses Solomon; he is too much hike a en.gentleman named Sullivan, who used lay such roles.An exceedingly goo cone E eption of Effie Flore» the actress, fro sven bv

roun § week.THE ROYAL.The name of William A.Brady, in far as it is associated with his differ ical productions, in auecess and excellence.At the Thea, tre Royal this week the powerful and realistic melodrama, \u201cThe Cotton King, by Sutton Vane, is given under Mr.Brady's management.This melodrama is well and favorably known to Montrealers, it having previously been presented here.It is enough to say that 1t 18 a strong and thrilling play, dealing with the lives, woes, and loves of the Lancashire cotton mill operatives, the nobleness of the Cotton King, and the perfidies of his false friend.There are several very realistic scenes in the performance, as well as many startling climaxes.; The company presenting the production is an uniformly strong one; the personnel being much the same as at its previous appearance here.It cannot be truthlully said, however, that what changes have been made have been an improvement.James M.Brophy, who takes the title role, Jack Osbourne, the Cotton King, is an actor of more than ordinary ability, Per kins J.Fisher, as James Shillinglaw, also shows to advantage.James I, McDonald, as the diminutive Tupper, and Miss Clara Wisdom, as Kitty Marshall, who is ambitious to shine as a female Sandow, supply the comedy parts very successfully.Miss Annie Haines and Miss Ella Fltynge also read their lines with good effect.There was considerable grumbling amongst the audience over the interminable delays yesterday afternoon; but when it is known that the company and properties only arrived here late yesterday morn ing, they will doubtless be excused.MR.HARRY FURNISS.The celebrated Punch caricaturist will grrive in the city to-night.Tt is quite evi dent that an immense audience will greet kim to-morrow night at the Windsor Hall.| GUILBERT.Mr.and Mrs.Frank Murphy have secured the Windsor Hall for the appearance here on the 18th of Yvette Guilbert.The | story ot why she is not allowed to sing, in : the Monument National, as exclusively told in last night's Herald, created much comment.MISS RUBENSTEIN'S CONCERTA concert in aid of the Ladies\u2019 Hebrew Benevolent Society has been arranged by Miss Rubenstein, and will take place in the Windsor hall on Thursday evening next.An excellent programme has been prepared, in which the following artists will take part :\u2014Miss Rubenstein, soprano; Mrs.W.H.Parriton,

all sides, wheat advanced 3c, and closed at the top.Natur: ally that raises the expectations of the bulls for January, when the traditions are with rather than against them.\u201cThe speculative situation continues about as it has been for a month past.The outsider continues indifferent, puzzling everybody and particularly the commission man.The market for some months has been run bv the news, rather than by man: ipulative effort.\u2018This, too, is something of a novelty, because it has seemed for vears as if certain big men at Chicago counted more than the news.The truth as to that, of course, is that the certain few big men for a few years struck things right.Pardridge seemed to be running things when he was alive,but that was only a matter of appearance.- He guessed the situation in his day right, although it assuredly was a matter of guessing with him.Half the professionals who have been wrong on wheat from 55¢ up have been so because they had never seen a bull market without the public uoder it, It has been very plain to everybody all along that the public has not had anything to do with the advance under way in wheat since last fall.There has been nothing about the market that has conformed to tradition.There have been reactions, but they have come when there did not seem to be any explanation for them.When the \u2018talent\u2019 has worked hardest for them the price has kept right on up.It kept on up, for in stance, all through the Christmas week.The Englishmen, usually bears, have this season been bulls, and the continental operators, usually bulls, have been bears.\u201d WHEAT IN MANITOBA.8carcely Anything Doing in the Country Markets at Present.\u201cThere has been scarcely anything doing -in the local market,\u201d says the Winnipeg

as I thought three eveninz papers would be too many to go through, but last Saturday's edition of the Star has made me change my opinion.We fathers of families want to heve a vaper that.we can give to our daughters and our children to read, without fear of having their minds corrupted by sueh filth as appeared in the Star of Saturdav last.This kind of writing may do very wall for such papers as Town Topics or the Police Gazette but these are not the sort of papers we want our young growing up families to read.I am at a loss to see what end the Star could wish to serve by publishing the details of a disguating New York orgie, which could havc no interest for any man or woman of com- anon decency.T hope and feel sure The Herald will continue, as it is a good clean family paper, that our children may read without causing them a blush of shame.Yours, _ 3 THE HERALD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1897, LAID INST.JAMES, Monsignor Fabre's Remains Removed Yesterday.I \u2014 ee \u2018 ATTENDED WITH POMP.Impressive Ceremonies in the Great Cathedral.Thousands of the Faithful Attend to Witness an Event Which Will Live in History.The removal of the remains of the laie prelate from the Palace to the Cathedral tool: place at half-past three yesterday af- terroon, and was mpressive in every way.It is but a short way from the one place to the other by the street, but in that distarce thousands of people had gathered to pay their last respects to a beloved first pastor.Witln the Palace were gathered high dignitaries of the church, members of veligious communities, the majority oi the eccular priests in the archdiocese, judges senators, and many others.Those who bad not already done so took a last look at the Archbishop, and all awaited the moment when they should take their vlaces in the procession.IN THE DEATH CHAMBER.The scene in the mortuary chamber at a quarter past three was a solemn one.The archbishops, bishops, and as many of the clergy as could cuter had gathered around the bier preliminary to its re.tuoval.The chamber was heavily draped in black, relieved by a little purple, and from tlie walls looked down the poitraita où former bishops and her distinguished churchmen.In accordance with the wish of the Archbishop, simplicity ruled every- wliere, but this could not mar the splendid vitual which the church provides for such vccasions.The bier was placed in the centre of the room, a small cross flanked on each side by three tapers, standing at the head, and a small onyx-topped table for cards and letters cf sympathy at \u2018the foot.The body was dressed n the episcopal robes which have been seen at so many services when the Archbishop was alive, and was raised in the coffin so that the face looked toward the door.On the head was the mitre, and around the neck was the pallium, the consecrated vesiment of white wool, embroidered with crosses in purple, which is the most important portion of the episcopal vestments.When all had gathered Archbishop O\u2019Erien, of Halifax, entered, attended by his deacons, and began the levee du corps.His tall and dignified figure, arrayed in sombre vestments and crowned by the witre, towered above everyone in the room.It was a striking thing to see the two archbishops face to face; the one cold in death and the other come to bury him.In a quavering but clear voice, Mgr.O\u2019Brien commenced the office, and soon the full tones of the priests around chimed in in the chanted responses.The brief cervice over the signal to start was given, and as soon as those who were to precede it had got under way the body was lifted up.and taken for the last time from a room which had seen his Grace in many circums- stances, AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.The last scene in the death chamber was most impressive.The lighted tapers, iho biack draperies, the sadly decomposed form of the venerable Archbishop, and the tearful faces of all those present, all ter¥ed towards rendering the scene one never to be forgotten.The priests, the brothers and the sisters filed in to the death chamber in turn, and knelt for a fow minutes to offer up one last prayer for he who had been the kind friend of all, both humble and great.At 3.30 Mgr.Gravel, Bishop of Nicolet, entered the room, and took a place in the background.He was soon joined by is Grace, Archbishop Langevin, of St.Boniface, and by Archbishop Duhamel, of Ottawa.As the assistants began tak ing down the fixings preparatory to the removal of the remains, all fell on their knees with one accord and they remained in that position for several moments, until the procession was started as already stated.The reverend gentlemen who had the honor of being chosen to bear the dead prelate from the scenes of his labor and his sacrifices to his own Cathedral Church, were Reverend Messrs.Adam, Vaillant, Larocque, Hetu, Gaudet and Baril, all of whom had been warm personal friends oË the late Prelate.His Lordship, Bishop Sweeney of St.John, N.B., was slighily indisposed and did not follow the procession.but he took his place in the chancel with the other bishops later on.REMOVING THE REMAINS.As the body of the deceased prelate was born from the home of his episcopal life, and along the adjacent streets, all heads were bared in reverence, and many knelt on the cold, wet pavement.Every breath was a prayer for the repose ot the soul whose mortal shell was passing before the eye, but none thought that such a saint stood in much need of them.It was a unique sight, certainly.Seldom is seen, and to few is given the privilege of seeing, the illustrious dead passing through the busy streets of a city in the habit of life.The body, lying as it did in a half-reclining position, brought the face into full view.\u2018I'he closed and sightless eyes looked upward to heaven, and the face wore a peaceful and henignant look, the little distance separating the onlookers softening the ravages which death had already made in the poor flesh.Many an eye was moist as the sad procession moved slowly on, and there was not one who did not feel softened as the visible presence of death passed them, A DISTINGUISHED PROCESSION, Promptly at half past three the head of the procession descended the steps lead- ET, AUCTIONEERS\u2019 ANNOUNCEMENTS.FRASER BROS.\u2014Household Furniture, Friday, 10 a.m.January 8, cor.St.James and Inspector Streets, For

dense crowd had gathered in front of the Palace and at the intersection of the streets, but a clear passage Way was maintained by a platoon ut fit» policemen, under Inspector Kehoe, Captains Charbonneau aud Love, Lieutenants Proulx and Watson.First came the large cross of the Cathedral and Acolytes bearing tapers, and following walked the regular and secular clergy, senunarists, cathedral chaplains, and the honorary and titular canons, chanting a portion of the office of the dead.What might be termed the second portion of the cortege was led by the Rev.Canon Bourgeault, capitu- lbry vicar and administrator of the archdiocese during the vacancy.Behind his came Archbishops Langevin and Duhamel and Bishop Gravel, and Dom Amtome, nitred Abbot of the Trappist monastery at Oka, and the venerable and stauely Archbishop O'Brien followed, immediate: \u2018y in front of the body which was born Oy six priests at a time.At each side walked tour boys bearing lighted tapers.The bench was represented by Chier Justice Sir Alexander Lacoste, Hon.Just.e Hall, Wurtele and J.A.Ouimet, of the Court of Queen's Bench : Acting Chief Justice Tait, Hon.Justices Gill, Loranger, Jette, Ouimet, Curran, Doherty, ant De Lorimer, of the Superior Court.Thare were strong deputation: from the tirey Nuns, the Sisters of Jesus and Mary, there being probably over a hundrcJ of these ladies present.Next came meraders of L'Alliance Nationale, of whi:h the late Archbishop was Honorary President, Messrs.H.Laporte, President ; C.A.De- carrie, Vice-President ; 3.Beaudin ; Cypi- hiot and others being present.'Lhere were also fifty students fran Mount St.Louis, ten each from St.James, St.Joseph, St.Patrick, Se Laucent.St.Brigide St.Gabriel, St.Henri and other schools, while the Brother Provincial headed the Christian Brothers, 150 strong.The Franciscan Brothers were also in attendance, as well as a delegation from the Papal Zouaves.IN ST.JAMES CATHEDRAL Twenty minutes had elapsed before the body was placed on the catafalque beneath the dome of the Cathedral church of St.James.The chancel and transept were filled with members of the clergy, and the representatives of the religious orders and communities.The body of the church was thronged by the faithfal, many of whom were unable to gain admittance, The service, which lasted nearly twa hours, was a deeply impressive ane.The office of the dead was sung bv the choir and clergy responsively, and the Absoute was performed by the Franciscan brothers and Trappist fathers.The whole solemn service was followed closely by the congregation, many joining audibly in the responses.AN IMPRESSIVE SERVICE.The Cathedral was filled to overflowing with Catholics and Protestants.The remains were placed on the humble catafalque, at the foot of the steps leading to the chancel and, contrary to the ceremony \u2018paid to the remains of ordinary mortals, Monsignor was placed with his head towards the altar, so that the face of the dead Archbishop could be seen by almost all in the church.Two constables were placed on guard over the mortal gemains of the venerable prelate and then commenced the office of the dead, the cere mony lasting until six o\u2019cloek.The three Nocturnes and the Laudes were chanted alternately, by the Seminarists, who were in the choir gallery, and by the clergy downstairs.The Absoute of the Nocturnes was presided over by the Rev.Father Columban, Guardian of the Franciscan Order, who was assisted by Rev.Fathers Xavier and Bernard, and the Absoute of the Laudes was given by Dom Antoine, Mitred Abbot of the Qka monastery.At 7.50 in the evening a large crowd took part in the exercise of the Way of | the Cross.RESOLUTIONS OF REGRET.At 2 meeting of the Board of Catholic School (\u2018ommissioners yesterday, the following resolutions were adopted: \u201cResolved, that the members of this Board have learned with deep regret of the death of Agr.E.C.Fabre, the revered prelate,

order to testify their sympathy and respect for the deceased, we, members, of this Board, shall take part at the funeral: .\u201cResolved, that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the

astonishes the previous generation.But the practical side of his nature has not ob- soured the poetry of childhood.The fairy tale is as potent as ever, and there was a smile of pleasure on the face of the lad who remarked at breakfast: \u201c\u201cI bad a beautiful dream last night.\u201cWhat was it?\u2019 his father asked.\u201cI thought I was out in the woods, and I saw a most gorgeously dressed lady coming toward ine,\u201d \u201c\u201cThat is à good deal like some of the stories that you have been reading.\u2019 \u201cYes; it doesn\u2019t get very different until the end.I knew by her looks that she was the fairy queen, and I made up my mind that I wasn\u2019t going to lose chances like some of the boys in story books who didn\u2019t know a good chance when they saw it.\u201d \u201c\u2018Did she offer you three wishes?\u2018Yes, and I called to mind how she sometimes took advantage of a mortal\u2019s being excited and nervous when he wished in order to make him waste his opportunities and have a good laugh at him.So when she said, \u2018Little boy, I'll give you three wishes,\u2019 I didn\u2019t jump at the chance.I said, \u2018Will you give me whatever I ask for?\u201d She answered: \u2018Yes; you may have three wishes.\u2019 *\u2019 \u2018\u201c\u2018What did you do?\u2019 \u201cI wished for four.\u2019\u2019\u2014Washington Star.Oddest Monument

Hom- | ing Pigeons Which Fanciers Consider of Prime Importance.What the peculiar gift is which enables the pigeon to return to its home from great distances is a matter upon which authorities disagree.The most general opinion among those who know anything of the subject is that the birds fly by sight alone.This theory would seem to be borne out by the fact that the best and most highly bred of racing birds have frequently been lost in the London fogs.The fact that instinct is unerring and that the homing pigeon not only frequently errs, but exhibits at times great indecision as to the correct oourse for him to pursue, seems to preclude the idea that he is governed solely by instinct.The theory which is most generally accepted is that the bird is gifted with remarkable eyesight and also with a memory for landmarks which i8 superior to a similar faculty in any other animal.That the bird possesses a high order of intelligence is shown from the fact that homers which have become lost in a race will frequently return to the rcom in which they have been kept at the starting point of their speed tost.In selecting homing pigeons for racing purposes even the best fgnciers often pick out birds as most like racers tmat cannot fly 20 miles withoui becoming lost.The meanest, most scraggy looking dird, without a single good point, sometimes leaves its handsome competitor, who 1s, to all appearances, perfect in physical proportions, far in the rear.Still, fanciers look with interest at four points in a homing pigeon which are considered of prime importance.The first of these is, strange as the fact may appear to a novice in the art, the eye.Mr.Starr, one of the foremost and most successful of American fanciers, has this to say of the eye: \u201c\u2018\u201cThe white eye may meau the cumu- let, and, if so, indicates that the bird will fly high, have great endurance and wing power.If theeye isdark, the head round and the beak short and close fitting, there will be a preponderance of the owl type, and the result will te that the bird will fly later at night than any other type.But, whatever the character of the color, the ball must extend beyond the line of the head and be so placed that the bird should have a view of what is behind as well as before it.When a bird returns from a journey over much new territory, this protrusion of the gyeball is greatly increased, showing to what a great strain the powers of vision have been subjected.\u2019\u2019 While Mr.Starr, in common with other successful American fanciers, pays little or no attention either to the size or shape of the head, this point is the second at which European fanciers look with interest.It is generally conceded that the shape makes but little ditfer- ence.The skull may be flat, long and narrow, or high, short and wide, but it must have room for the brain, and for a large brain at that, or else the bird is not considered a likely candidate\u2019 for racing honors.Great stress is laid on this organ by all Belgium and Holland fanciers, but in this country the feature is almost entirely overlooked.The chest should be broad and is of as great importance as the wing.A narrow chested bird can fly no great distance without exerting the muscles which give fullness to the breast beyond their endurance.The wings and tail should both be exceptionally long, as the tail acts as a rudder, and the shorter wings require much added exertion for the same amount of flying.The color of a pigeon has no significance, but the rule in breeding is to Cross the colors when practicable.Even the best bred of the homers require most careful and intelligent training before they are entered in races.While the physique of the hird is well developed at the age of 10 weeks, it is thought best to give a considerably longer time for the brain to develop before the bird is trained for the work which lies ahead of him.At the age cf 4 months the first trial trips may be made, and he is then flown from distances of between 2 and 90 miles at intervals of two or three days apart Many birds are lost in these trial trips, and those which return safely from the longer trial trips may be considered fit to enter in the young bird races.Thu shortest of these is 100 miles in length, and birds are not supposed to be flown more than 90 miles before taking part in the speed trials.For the young birds the system of training is supposed to accomplish two widely different results.In the firse place they teach the young bird to return to his loft, aud in the second they develop the muscles and prepare them for the hard work which the races will require of them.Training trips for older birds are made with the sole view of getting their muscles limbered up again and toughened for the longer races.\u2014 Chicago Chronicle.\u20ac Mark Twain on Interviewing.Mark Twain does not like to be interviewed.His opinion of the literary ability of the average interviewer is not at all

Letters That Binds the Two Nations.À most interesting summary of the business of the postoffice of the United Kingdom has been compiled by Mr.J.Holt Schooling, a member of the Royal Statistioal society of London.It is of peculiar value to Americans, not only as affording a means of compdrison with our own postoffice work, but becanse it shows anew the close bonds of business and friendship between the two great nations.Mr.Schooling illustrates his statistios with graphic diagrams.The first thing that strikes the eye in the report is the cost of the British post- bl service and tiie

$68,750,000, leaving a balance of $15,000,000 profit a year.This would make a very startling comparison with a large yearly deficit of our own postoffice were it not remembered that Great Britain owns the telograph too.Dqubtless large telegraphic profits offset a deficit in the strictly postal business.On this point Mr.Schooling is unfortunately silent.While Great Britain exchanges 98,- 000,000 letters with Europe, she exchanges 61,000,000 with America.This shows the bond between Europe and America, for the next continent on the list is Asia, with whom she makes only 22,000,000 exchanges.In the comparison of nations the United States stands far ahead of any other, for 41,000,000 letters are exchanged annually between us and Great Britain.The next on the list is France, with an exchange of 25,750,000 letters, and Germany is third, with an exchange of 25,300,000.No other nation approaches nearer than Italy\u2019s 6,500,000.The increase in letter writing in the last 50 years, due to increased education and the enlargement of friendship, Qus- iness and common interests in general, is very interestingly shown in the compiler\u2019s tables.In 1846, for instance, the British postoffice delivered 10 letters for every head of population, while in 1894 46 letters for each head of population were delivered.With similar intent Mr.Schooling Bays: \u201c\u201cTienty years ago the activity of a tiny spot in the tiny spot marked London annually delivered 72 letters in the United Kingdom for every 100 persons living on the area of the whole world, a sufficiently remarkable performance even then.But now this wonderful postoffice machine delivers in these little islands only a number of letters that suffices to provide each unit of the world's population with nearly 124 letters annually, and this without including any of the other considerable items of postal matter, such as book packets, post cards, newspapers, circular, telegrams, ete.\u2019\u2019 Ths comparative diagrams indicate the amount of postal matter exchanged by the United Kingdom with the other continents.They show how closely we are bound to the queen\u2019s realm through the ties of the post.\u2014New York Herald.The tuberose is considered by young ladies of France symbolic of dangerous pleasures.In England and America it is in common ute as a funeral plant, and it is considered
