THE WEATHER Winter Has Come to Montreal in Earnest.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AND INTENDS TO STAY.Much Discomfort Caused by the Sudden.Drop.How the Cold Has Affected the People of This City\u2014The Poor Will Suffer.Only the man who could lie comfortably tucked up in the blankets this morning while busy servants got the fires going and prepared his breakfast of hot rolls and coffee can appreciate what it means not to be dependent upon himself for the luxuries that make life worth the living.At the hour when the greater part ot Montreal commenced to move to its daily fabor, 7 a.m., the thermometer at the City one And what made it still worse was the fright{ully biting wind that drove the snow before it, forming formidable whirlwinds at every corner, and piercing the stoutest of clothing.The coon coat of the average busy man of St.James street was not to be found on those who tried to escape the blizzard for a few minutes between 6.30 and 8 by struggling among the masses who fcught their way into the trolley cars.In the long list of people who suffered from the cold not a more pitiable story will be told than that of a young girl who had to be carried from a St.Lawrence street car at 7.40 o'clock this morning.She boarded it.at Roy street, after standing five minutes in the piercing cold.On her head was a hat which, though it had seen better days, was never intended for a winter's morning.Her shoulders were covered with a threadbare shawl, and she wore a skirt thay was of the flim siest material.Standing ir the middle ct the surging crowd, she gave a piteous cry and fell into the arms of those surrounding her.Her cheeks and ears were froz=n, and her gloveless hands bore the imprint ot the cruel weather.At Ontario street several men lifted her from the car, and she was taken into a saloon where the frost was thawed out, and she partially recovered.\u201cWhat is your name?\u201d she was asked.\u201cPlease don't question me,\u201d she pleaded.\u201cI must get to work, but I haven't another car ticket.\u201d Respectfully she declined offers of assistance except a five-cent piece.CT shall make enough this week to keep us all right,\u201d she said, and with that struggled out into the cold to wait for another car.\u201cThere\u2019s scores like that a few yards from here,\u201d said a kindly fat policeman who had helped to thaw the frost from the girl.\u201cIt\u2019s a bad thing, this cold snap, for the poor.\u201d The failure of the Bank of England could scarcely have brought about a more universal discussion of a subject that did the fall in the thermometer during the night.Business in the earlv part of the morning was entirely at a standstill; in the stores shivering clerks stood around with little to do, and scarce able to do it, had there been more.In nearly every branch of daily labor men and women were late in arriving for the day's work.\u201cFive of my men out of cleven were an hour late through trving to thaw out the water pipes,\u201d said one employer, as he slipped into a hotel bar and called for a hot Scotch.The list of those who suffered from the cold and had to be cared for by friends is a very long one, as may be judged by the following\u2014how very many there were that reporters did not hear of would probably make the list a startling one.HANDS, FEET, CHEEKS FROZEN.One of the most serious cases of the day is that of Ernest Johnston of Brampton, Ont.Mr.O.Deslauriers, the contractor, wag walking along Dorchester street, at the extreme west, when, lying near a fence, h: found the apparently dead body of a man.He telephoned to Chiet of Police Harrison of Westmount, who jumped into a sleigh and was quickly on the spot, so quickly, in fact, that both his cheeks were frozen during the short but sharp drive, The unconscious form of the man found by Mr.Deslaurier was taken to the police station, where it was discovered that though le was still alive he was in a serious condition.His feet, hands, ears and cheeks were all badly froezn.Several hours were spent in working on the unfortunate man, who is now on a fair way to recov ery.When he was able to speak he said that he came from Brampton, Ont.He had spent the past few days with the Salvation Army at the Lighthouse but had left to look for work.A CHILD'S FACE FROZEN.Little Martha Freund, 12 vears of age, Was hustling along St.Catherine street at a few minutes to nine, when a gentleman, without any explanation, took her in his arms and gathering a handful of enow summarily treated her to a remarkable face shampoo.The little one's face, including ears and nose, was badly frozen, and it is {eared that the nose will be badly disfigured.She was taken to her home in St.Andre street.A CONDUCTOR IN TROUBLE.Conductor Maxime Albert's car had to Wait five minutes on Wellington at 10 © clock while he thawed out the frost from his right cheek and ear.On leaving duty he at once went to a doctor.RAILWAY TRAFFIC.The blizzard is having considerable effect on railway traffic.Most of the regular Passenger trains are running on time, but It is difficult to handle freight trains in such very cold weather.The snowdrifts along the different lines are not so trouble- tome as the freezing up of the grease in the axle boxes of loaded cars.which makes lt almost impossible to move them.As a consequence, very little freight is being Moved to-day, and in some cases accomn- dation trains have had to be cancelled, t is also difficult to keep trains properly heated a day like to-day, and there is, therefore, more or, less discomfort for travellers, À portion of the community who suiler \u2014 everybody wiil be ; ~ LAST EDITION.MONTREAL, MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1807.PRICE ONE CENT.he most of the excessive low temperature vhich Montreal is enjoying, is no doubt the city police.The officers are not too heavily clothed, and they have to walk np and down a certain space of ground, and no more, at a measured pace, and this dur ing three long hours.Perhaps the coldest beat in the city is at the Victoria Square and MecGill Street crossing, where the wind blows in a circle, and where the poor \u201cbobbie\u201d has to stand three long hours to prevent accidents on that lively corner.It was a sight to see the officers coming into the stations after standing in the biting cold for so long.They were all covered with heavy frost, and loked like polar bears.The weather was a little unfavorable for those who generally make their homes in dry-goods cases and under the wharves, and the different police stations had numerous visitors last night, asking for protection.Central Station alone got 14 lodgers, No.6 got 4, No.10 3, No.2 3, No.5 2, No.151 and No.8 1.making a total of 28.This number is very small compared with past years in similar weather, and seems to indicate a reduction in the number of unfortunates who are without a home.THE REFUGES FULL.It is on the poor that the storm falls heaviest, and although those who have hemes manage to get along pretty well with the assistance given them by the various charitable institutions there are many who are entirely homeless, and their only resource on such a day is to seek the shelter of the refuges.There are a large number of men and a few women in the Protestant House of Refuge on Dorchester Street, where they get a night\u2019s lodging ana a warm meal.The Old Brewery Mission has some eighty men in, many of them free lodgers.In the Roman Catholic institutions, particularly the convents of the Sisters of Providence, there are also many refugees from the weather.Ottawa, Ont., Jan.25.\u2014(Special).\u2014The thermometer registered 27 below zero at two o'clock this morning.It was the coldest night of the season.ACROSS THE LINE._ Telegraphic despatches to The Herald indicate one of the coldest snaps on record across the line, extending as far south as Texas.Among the messages received were the following: Buffalo, N.Y., Jan.25.\u2014Yesterday, last night and to-day the coldest weather of the winter has been experienced in Buffalo.The mercury ranged yesterday between zero and 10 above.Last

began, which is freezing as it falls, covering everything with ice.Reports from stock ranges in the west of the state say that much\u201d apprehension of severe loss is felt, as many herds are without shelter.At Dallas the mercury drop ped from 46 to 16, and snow fell last night, an anomaly in Texss, Watertown, N.Y, Jan.25.\u2014Thermome- ters registered 20 to 25 degrees below zero tkroughout northern New York carly this morning.This is the coldest wave that has passed ovar this section this winter.Malone, N.Y., Jan.25.-\u2014The most severe weather this winter was experienced here this

practically deserted.Pittsburg, Pa., Jan.25.\u2014The coldest weather of the winter prevails through: out Western Pennsylvania to-day.In this city the mercury dropped to ten below Zero.Cleveland, Jan.25\u2014At the weather bureau this morning, at 9 o\u2019clock the mercury registered 15 below, being within three and a half degrees of the iowest point reached in ovet 20 years.New York, Jan.25.\u2014The cold wave, ex: tends all over the country east of the Rocky Mountains, except in the extreme southern part of Florida.Zero weather covers all the northern States as far as Montana, and as far south as Kentucky, Mississippi and Northern Texas.Frees- ing temperatures are reported from everywhere except the coast of the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and along the border of the Gulf of Mexico.The temperature here at 8 a.m., was five degrees, at Boston, 8; at Albany, zero ; Northfield, Vt., 18 below zero : at Pittsburg, 6 below : Cincinnati, 8 below ; St.Louis, zero ; Louisville, 10 below; Amarillo, Texas, zero ; Chicago, 20 below; Omaha, 20 below ; Rapid City, 20 below; St.Paul, 28 below ; Duluth, 28 below, Havre, Mont., 30 below, and at White River, Canada, 40 degrees below zero.Observer Dunn says that this is the most extensive cold wave reported for years, and there is no telling at present how leng it will last.NOVA SCOTIA GOLD, Rush in Prospecting Promised for the Coming Spring\u2014 Many Areas Taken Up.A gentleman from Nova Scotia who was in the city last week, and who is connected with one of the most prosperous gold mines in that province, is authority for the statement that the conung spring will witness the biggest rush in prospecting for the yellow metal that has occurred in the history of that industry there.He states that the Alines Office at Halifax, a branch of the Provincial Government, has been Hooded with applications for areas, around the present properties for the most part, and he predicts that the result will be an immense increase in the production of gold.He says the eves of the Canadian people will be opened to the vast mineral resources of the \u201cProvince by the sea\u201d when the rush commences.WAS 108 YEARS OF

for vears a steward on a sailing vessel, entered the Harbor in 1857.He waa then a short.black, wrinkled old man, of happy disposition, PELANDS CAPTURED, Another Notable Victory for Guban Arms, \u2014\u2014 #1 rt \u201cCUBA LIBRA\" THE CRY On the Lips of the Insurgents as They Dashed to Victory, , The Spanish Garrison Surprised While Ohurch \u2014 Almost Successful Attempt to Take Weyler, at Key West, Florida, Jan.25.\u2014Another defeat for the Spanish is reported from Pelanos, in the southern part of Havana Province.The place has one thousand inhabitants, is well fortified and has a Spanish garrison of 600 men, with a field piece.Lieut.-Colonel Hernandez, in command of 500 insurgent cavalrymen, made a dash at the town while the troops were at church celebrating theŸKing\u2019s name.Pe- fore they could form, the insurgents had possession of the block-house.The cannon was trained at the church and before the Spanish were aware of what the trouble was solid shot came through its walls, while cries of \u2018\u2018Cuba Libre\u201d filled the air.Out they rushed, only to fail before a deadly volley from a stroug farce posted behind some neighboring houses.Colunel Muncio, the Spanish commander.bravely rallied his men.As they formed for a charge, he fell with a dozen balls through him.The second in command took hig place, but he too fell in a few seconds time, the sharp-shooters of Hernandez dealing death with a rapidity that left the troops panic-stricken.They made one more attempt to charge the block-house, but Hernandez's cavalry dashed at them, sweeping through their ranks, cutting a bloody path with their sharp machetes.They turned and again they came through the crowded ranks of the Spanish, carrying death in their tracks, though many empty saddles spoke of the bravery of the Spanish troops.The Spanish then retired, it being a rout, though a portion stubbornly protected their rear, making stands unti) forced to retire by Hernandez\u2019s fierce charges.After pursuing the Spanish nearly to Cajaio, on the coast, Hernandez withdrew.The Cubans burned the fort at Pelanos and secured 1,400 stands of arms, one cannon, $1,000 in gold, and $5,000 in paper money, besides ammunition and many valuable papers, belonging to the Spanish commander, New York, Jan.25.\u2014A specinl to the Herald from Havana, via Key West, Fla, says :\u2014' \u2018General Weyler has received his baptism of fire in the field.He may even have been astounded by the brilliancy ot the flash of the insurgent steel before his very eyes.\u201cAt all events, ten of his special escort of guides, a corps of Cuban negroes who enjoy the distinction of guarding the person of the Captain-General when he takes the field, arrived here Tuesday night seri ously wounded with machete thrusts.Several have since died.ATTEMPTED TO CAPTURE WEY LEK.\u201cFight members of the same corps, all wounded, reached Havana on Wednesday morning.From their accounts it is clear that early on Tuesday morning the rebels under Aranguren and Arango made a startlingly bold and dashing attempt to capture the Captain-General, which was nearly crowned with success.\u201cGeneral Weyler, who was marching surrounded by the column of Colonel Se- gura, entered the village of Quatro Camiros om Monday afternoon.Orders were at ouce given that all the inhabitants should village being deserted, the torch was applied, and all the houses, about three hundred in number, were destroyed.\u201cThe Captain-General then proceeded toward Gopaste, sixteen kilometres further on the road to Guines.Yopaste was reached after nightfall, and a corps of guides was sent forward to reconnoitre.General Weyler, with the main Spanish column, under Colonel Segura, halted some distance outside the village.\u201cThe insurgents, at the orders of their leaders, Aranguren and Arango, had con: cealed themselves in the houses in the town.Their plans were evidently we) laid, and it is quite probable that they might have succeeded in capturing the de sired prize, the Spanish commander himself.And in any event, from their covert, they could have inflicted great loss upon the Spanish column as it entered the town unprepared for an ambush conceived under such unusual circumstance and in so bold a manner.Unfortunately for the fulfilment of the design of the insurgent leaders, while the Spanish scouts were engaged in the recon.noiseance, the guns of some of the con cealed rebels were accidentally discharged, giving the alarm to the royal troops, RUSHED UPON TBE SPANIARDS, \u201cBefore the Spanish advance guard re covered from its surprise the rebels, sce.ing that their plan had partially failed, rsuhed from their places of concealment and attacked the enemy with great fury, inflicting severe loss in their resiatless onslaught.So bold, in fact, was the insurgent retreating Spaniards to a point almost within range of the troops in Gencral Weyler\u2019s main body, and easily within the compass of a field-gfass if the Captain- General had cared to inspect the dispersal of his own soldiers.\u201d Madrid, Jan.25.\u2014A despatch from Havana states that Captain-Geueral \\Weyler has ordered the destruction within three days of all the plantations and buildings in the Province of Havana that would be likely to prove useful to the rebels.The Madrid Chamber of Commerce and other bodies here have cabled to Generai Weyler protesting against the order, as its execution will result in the destruction ot much valuable property without serving any practical purpose.FROM PRELATE TO

PROTEST.New Yorkers Do Not Want Consumption Classed as Infectious.Claim That the 20,000 Odd Sufferers in That City Would Be Treated as Lepers.floard of Health in amending the Sanitary Code so as to include pulmonary tu berculosis among the infectious and communicable diseases dangerous to public health has raised a general howl of indignation throughout this city.That the 20,- 000 or more persons in New York who suffer from consumption are to be registered, recorded, and.marked as persons who are dangerous to public health will, many fear, make them as thoroughly shunned as are lepers or those who suffer from smallpox.Doctors say that all the suffering that will be occasioned by putting the stamp of pest on many bread-winners will not benefit humanity, because the germ of consumption is in the air, and if all consumptives were killed as cattle with pulmonary diseases were a few years ago the disease would not be stamped out aud the man or woman with weak lungs would stil\u2019 be subject to its influences.BOOM FOR THE WEST, tt Indications Point to a Stir Immigration Circles.in Rossland, B.C., the Objective Point of the Majority, but Manitoba Not Overlooked.Toruto, Jan.25.\u2014(Special).\u2014From the enquiries received at the offices of the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Rail ways here there is evidently going to be a big boom to Manitoba and British Col: umbia when spring opens.Irom all parts of Ontario letters have come expressing the intention of the writers to leave for the west in the spring, and Rossland ap pears to be the objective point for most of them.The spring western excursions of the railways will start on March 1, and special trains will leave Toronto and Carleton Junction every Tuesday during March and April.THE PARLIAMENT, Probable That the House Will Be Called Together for a Session on March 11.Ottawa, Jan.25.\u2014(Special).\u2014-The proro: gation of Parliament until the 8th of March does not mean that it will meet on that day.There is nothing to prevent it meeting earlier or later as Government ray seem fit, although it is not likely Lo be summoned for the despatch of business sooner than that date.The probability is that Parliament will be called for busi ness on the 11th of March.PUBLISHING STATH NEWS.London, Jan.25.\u2014The newspapers give prominence to the terms of the settlement of the school dispute in Manitoba, and the probable action of the Pope, who is said to be considering the compromise clauses of the question.Sir Donald Smith, the Canadian High Commissioner, says that the agreement published to-day does not reveal anything but what is already known and published in Canada.MURDER AT CINCINNATI Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan.25.\u2014Etarre Fon- tanori.a Tyrolean, was

Liberal Leader, Gives Satisfaction, Farcical Investigation Into the Jameson Raid Will Soon Be On\u2014- Rhodes\u2019 Friends Active, Advices from Belgium show a serious state ot alfuirs tnere, arising Irom the conscription law, which provides thaw every man who has compieteu his Jyur year is liable to nuluary auty tor egnt years, ot wuich, however, Lwu-tlurds are allowed, as a rule, on 1urlough.An im- purtant clause or the law provides that a conscript may purchase à substitute, and lt 18 this clause that causes tie trouble.Wealthy young men are able to purchase exemption, which they do in large numbers by getting substitutes, and thus, practically speaking, the whole military service of the country falls upon those who are the least qualified by thew domestic duties to perform it.Great discontent prevails against the system which takes young men from their employment, and it is anticipated that trouble will follow the drawing of 1897 conscripts in February.The Government has received information that an organized resistance is being prepared in which the Socialists, who include a very large proportion of the workingmen of the country, are tak ing a most active part.The young men liable to the conscription are resolved not to serve, and all the labor leagues hava promised to back them up in their ress tance to the (Government.Already mili tary preparations have been made to meet the trouble.The new Chinese Minister to England, Lo Feng Lo, is timed to arrive in London early in June.He brings some mag: nificent presents to the Queen, at whose diamond jubilee fetes he is to figure.The Foreign Office, which has never got on well with the present Chinese Minister, expects to find Lo Feng Lo a better medium of communication with Pekin.ITv knows English, French and German, was Li Hung Chang\u2019s interpreter at Tien Tsin, and snbsequently Li\u2019s Minister of the Navy, and accompanied Li on his recent visit to the continent and England.I» Feng Lo is credited with a strong preference for English built warships, and is said to have almost carte blanche in the disposal of Chinese money for English building yards.Advices from Tien \u2018Tsin state that Sheng, the new Tsoti of Tien Tsin and director of telegraphs and railways, is favoring with his support the American syndicate with which Mr.Hunt ingdon is connected.Sheng\u2019s influence is already great.Te is spoken of as the coming man, who will eventually take control of affairs touching foreign interests, the place now held by Li llung Chang.He backs the American syndicate for the construction of the railway between Hankow and Pekin.New York, Jan.25.\u2014Mr.Harold Fred: eric Cables from London to the Times :- The choice of Lord Kimberley as the Lib: eral leader of the House of Lords is perhaps the most satisfactory solution of a question which for present political purposes is not of a great practical interest.The selection will certainly not split up what remains of the Liberal party.He held the saine position from the time of Lard Granville\u2019s death in 1891 to the date of Lord Rosebery\u2019s premiership in 1894.Of singular tact and urbanity, Lord Kimberley has also great power in mastering the details of complicated mcasures, as witness his management of the Parish Council\u2019s Bill in the House of Lords at the time when, as Secretary of State \u20acor India, he must have been overwhelmed with a work whose vast issues would have obscured in a less clear headed man the petty details of parish management, such as were incorporated in the bill he piloted eo cleverly.LIQUOR IN THE COMMONS, One really serious matter has agitated the House of Commons since it re-assembl- ed.There are a few total abstinence specialists among the members and they suddenly discovered that various bars within the House, where all manner ut drinkables are constantly sold, really exist in violation of the law.They asked the question of the law ofticer of the Government in the House und he candidlv admitted that such was the fact, and said the only remedy wus the passage of a sp> cial act.This hag not been attempted vet, and the sale of intoxicating liquors still goes on.There is, of course, a rising clamor from certain busy-bodies, who de mand that the local authorities should enforce the law.The best answer to this demand is that made by a policeman, who 18 on duty in the lobby where tke principal bar of the members is located.He has been interview, of course, and his reply.given with some heat, was :\u2014' \u2018Look hero; and suppose

T naturally answer, \u2018Her Majesty, the Qucen;\u2019 and if you think I am going to be hard on a lady tien, then postponed the motion.When it comes on again, probably at the end of next week, there is likely to be a tremendous row, the Liberals being firmly con: vinced that the Government are anxiously awaiting a decent excuse to break their solemn pledges to make a thorough en quiry.Mr.Chamberlain may protest as much as he likes, but it is undeniable that the majority of Her Majesty's Ministers do not want this enquiry proceeded with, and they have managed to let their sup: porters in the House of Commons know scmething of their feelings.Otherwise there would not be the strong movement against the enquiry which is now observ able.The Government party and the friends of Mr.Rhodes, too, have not been inactive, and they are both numerons and influential.The result of all this is that everywhere one hears people asking what is the good of this enquiry.Mr.Rhodes made mistakes, but surely he condoned them by his bravery in the field during the Matabele rebellion in Lhodesia, and the sagacious diplomacy with the Matabele, which as much as anything brought about.peace, Furthermore, as the Rhodes party is never tired of urging, the Committee of the Cape Colony Legislature has already investigated the matter and probed it as far as desirable in the British interests to go.MINOR CABLE NEWS.Parliament this week would have been dull as a Quaker sewing-school if the air had not been filled with Irish washes.The debate on the address has been languidly conducted with empty benches and the Government mgjority reduced one-half.The debate will probably last another week, but may collapse any night.According to the Berlin correspondent of the Daily News, Emperor William was invited to the wedding breakfast of the daughter of Count von Wedell Minister of the Imperial Household, to Count von Bis- marck-Holen, to which the Bismarck family had been invited, but he refused to meet Count Herbert Bismarck.Count Zu Eulen- berk, the Court Marshal, tried to arrange matters, but the Emperor was obdurate, and Count von Wedells family was compelled to ask Count Herbert to remain away from the wedding.It is stated that the theatrical seasons in America has proved almost without exception a complete financial failure for the English companies

a Visit to New Glasgow, N.S.Shown Through the Large Local Iron Works by a Board of Trade Delegation.New Glasgow, N.8,, Jan.25.\u2014(Special.) \u2014The Minister of Customs, Ton.William Paterson, arrived here on lI'riday night from Halifax, and was the guest of Mr.J.VW.Carmichael, ex-M.P.Along with a delegation of the New Glasgow Board of Trade, Mr.Paterson visited on Saturday morning the extensive works of the Nova Scotia Steel Company at Trenton.A thorough inspection of the works was made, and the Minister treated to an exhibition of the process by which iron is converted into steel.The rolling mills and the nail department were also visited, the Minister expressing great pleasure at all he saw and learned.After luncheon the party proceeded by special train to Ferrona, where are situated the large blast furnaces of the company, and here they viewed the conversion of the raw ore into iron bars.Mr.Paterson was delighted with the whole exhibition, and seemed to be

Lads Recovered.Amin cagned salmon is responsible for the serious illness of a family\u2014an ilinces that for hours threatened to end fatally in the case of two boys, Napoleon and Alfred Lovicne.On Saturday morning the familv of Mr.Joseph Lavigne, of 9 Hypolite Place, per- took of canned salmon for breaxtast, and within an hour all were seized with violent pains with the exéantion of two little girls, who did not eat the fish.The boys, Napoleon and Alfred, ate a very large shave, and they became so ill that death was feared.Dr.Richard was hastily summoned, and seeing at once ihe serious condition of affairs he took ihe most stringent means of bringing about re- 1ef.The elder members of the family quickly recovered, but the boys lingered for several bours in mu-h agony.Towards Saturday midnight they recovered, and danger of any fatal result was passed.Napoleon was much the worse of the two, but good medical attendance and careful nursing brought them both hack to their normal healthy condition, and they were both hapy and grateful for the escape when a [ferald reporter called at the dwelling this morning.CARBRAY'S DEATH.Coroner\u2019s Inquest Opened on the Man Killed at St.Martin Street Crossing.The man Carbray, who was struck by a Grand Trunk train at the St.Martin street crossing on Friday night.succumbed to his injuries at the Notre Dame llos- pital Saturday morning.{ Coroner Me- Mahon opened the inquest this morning at that institution at ten o\u2019clock, but owing to the absence of important witnesses was obliged to adjourn it until to-morrow at the same hour.Dr.Derome, house surgeon of the hospital, gave testimony as to the death of the man, and Mrs.Potts, mother-in-law of deceased, told something of his family and habits, after which two men named Roy and Gagnon, said that they were nenr the crossing at the time of the accident, and tbat the gates were open when the trains were passing.The gateman, Thomas Swift, who las done the same work at different points on the Grand Trunk for eighteen years, said that there were two trains, one commg from Lachine and another from Bonaventure station, and deceased had crossed over from the opposite side.of the track to his side just as the Lachine train had passed in.Instead of passing under the mite, which he had plenty of time to do, he walked between the outside rail aud the gate, in a space of about four feet, from one side of St.Martin street to the other.Mr.Swift shouted to him that he weuld be run down if he did not get out of the road, but he appeared not to pay any attention.The result was that the engine struck him, he fell against the gate, and a foot slipping his leg went under the engine, and was crushed.The gates were closed while the trains were passing.Two more witnesses, Odilon-Lefaivre and Edward W.Farrel), testified to having seen deceased shortly before the accident, and that he was badly under the influence of liquor.In fact, so boisterous had he been that he was ejected from one or two places.A man named Benoit, who witnessed the accident, swore that the gates were closed when the accident happened.UNPRACTICAL RELIGION,

BURNS.THE NEW WOMAN.A Sunday Afternoon Talk at Point St.Charles.A DEFENCE OF THE POET.He Exerted a Great Influence for Good.The Lecture was Much Enjoyed \u2014 A Five Cent Concert\u2014Other News From the Point.Mr.W.W.Robertson delivered an cloquent address upon the \u201cMoral Influence of Robert Burns\u201d on Sunday afternoon at Fraternity Hall, under the auspices of the S.A.P.Society.A large and appreciative audience had assembled, and were given a rare treat.The lecturer felt it a pleasure to stand up in defence of Scotia\u2019s matuch- less though much maligned bard.A philo sopher said, \u201cI care not who rules a country so long as I may write its songs.\u201d The songs of Robert Burns have done more for Scotland than all her rulers, councils, synods, assembles, and clergy.\u2018l'he lecture described the noble characters of the poet's parents, and vividly depicted their hardships and the poverty against which the poet had tocontend.Burns never had a boyhood.He was born to poverty and adversity, but rose in his pre-eminent genius above all lim- tations.He might be compared to the sweet psalmist, but bad as Burns was, his crimes were never so black as those of David, And yet those who condemned Burns were first with excuses for David, Burns frequently sinned, but he always sincerely repented.He was not like that class of people who said, \u201cOh, it was the devil tempted me, and \u2018therefore not my fault.\u201d The lecturer pleaded nothing in extenuation of Burns\u2019 sins, for all :nen, except the fool, occasionally sinned.Burns should be judged by his own times.The characteristics of Scotland at that time were pretentious piety evaporating moun: tain dew, and illegitimacy.A minister was then chosen on his merits as a four- bottle \u2018man.Judged by such standardg Burns was an angel.\u2018Judge dby his in fluence for good, he is a giant for all time.Burns was a socialist, und his sympathies were as broad as the universe.He had cleared the moral atmosphere of Scotland of cant and hypocrisy, and the lecturer hoved to live to see the day whei they would have a Burns here in this Canada of ours.The lecturer then read some ap propriate passages from the works of this sweet and sincere singer, and wound up with the quotation\u2014 \u201cWhy has man the will and power To make his fellows mourn?\u201d FIVE-CENT CONCERTS.The people\u2019s five-cent concert in the Fraternity Hall o nSaturday evening, being un exhibition of conjuring by Mr .A.Ware, was unique of its kind, and proved the cause of much pleasantry.The members unique in its pleasantry.The members of the Pleasant Sunday Afternoon Society are requested to meet in Fraternity Hall on Tuesday evening to consider matters of importance.The ob jects of this society represent the revolt against the conventionalities of the ortho dox churches, and the recognition of the truc place of pleasantry in things religious, A SUNDAY SERMON.The text of the sermon at Grace Church on Sunday morning was Matthew xiii., 5-8.The reverend speaker spoke of the hard-heartedness of the Nazarene neigh bors of Christ, and also of the inditfer ence manifested by the men of to-day, familiar as the ywere wtih holy thiugs, to the teachings of the Great Teacher.The Grace Church Y.M.C.A.meets in the l.ec ture Hall on Tuesday evening, and the la dies of this church will give a concert and social in the lecture hall on Friday even ing.\u201c 1 LACHINE.Universal regret is felt here at the death of Mrs.Bodfish, of Upper Lachine, who passed away very quietly Friday evening, after a long and painful illness.Mr.Bodfish has the sympathy of all his friends in his sad bereavement.The large pipe organ in St.Andrew's Church has been removed from the gallerv to th= side of the pulpt.This is a good improvement in the church, as it -vill give much greater facilities to the vocal service.Mr.and Mrs.James P.Dawes and the Misses Nora and Winnifred) Dawas left for New York on Sunday evening, whence thev will go for a cruise to the Mediterranean.Rev.C.B.Ross, pastor of St.Andrew s Church, was absent from home for a few days last week, attending some missionary meetings at Huntingdon and vicinity.The usual weekly prayer meeting of this church, which has formerly been held on Thursday evening, will be held hereafter on Wednesday] evening.The Sunday school social will

Westmount Preacher.LET HER HAVE A CHANGE.Women Should not be Afraid to Engage in Work.A New Proprietor\u2014Residents Want More Street Cars on St.Catherine Street.Last night in Bethlehem Congregational Church the pastor, Rev.Robert Hop- kin, delivered an address on the subject of \u201cThe New Woman,\u201d basing his re marks on the incident recorded of De borah the woman, judge and leader}, in Judges iv., vs.4-9, In the course of his remarks the speal: er said: 1 believe in the establishment of the kingdom of Christ on carth and as an ambassador for the coming king, 1 ne.lieve it to be my duty, nay, rather pri vileze, to proclaim in their entirety the principles of 1lis kingdom.One of these principles is the abolition of that restric tive distinction between the sexes, which to-day obtains.For in the Ki.1xdom of Christ there can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neitler bond nor free, there can be no male und female, for all are one in Christ Jesus, A great deal has been said late'v with regard to the new woman, und some sec tions of soceity would lead us to believe that her sole funciions are the wearing of bloomers, the riding or bicycles and the smoking of cigarettes.To-night, 1 aa not going to discuss the new woman\u2019s clothes, her pastimes or her vices.1 want to discuss her from a mor ul, social and intellectual standpoint.To many in the world to-day, there are two standards of morality, one for women, and another for men, il seems tu have ever been wp, for away back 1p the days of the Messiah, we read of a woman being taken in adultery, but where was the man?A woman sins to-day, and is ostracised from society, while the man who perhaps was the cause of her down fall is received with open arms.This is wrong! In the sight of justice; in the sight of God.There is but one standard of morality, and the woman who sins, is no greater a sinner than the man who perpetrates a similar sin.There are far more women than men in the world, yet is it not true that there tre far fewer women in our jails than men, that the ermiinal portion oË society is composed chiefly of men?If this be true, if it be true that women are immeasurably freer from vice than men, then in God\u2019s name I ask, why is it that woman the purest, the least vicious of the sexes, has been so long denied the rights of citizenship?Do vou believe that n state can be most justly, most righteously governed, by the most vicious sec tion of its citizens?No; a thousand times, no., Then let us seek to extend to the purer and better section of the race, the franchise, and every other privilege which a citzen in a democratic country should enjoy.\u2019 But the moment vou begin to advocate equality of citzenship for the sexes you are met with a number of objections, from men whose mothers were women who had to go down to the very gate of death itself in order to give them birth, and who spent many, many, weirs dus and sleepless nights, worrying, and won- fering, about them.when the boy grows up, he tells that mother that she is nnfit to enjoy the ful privileges of citizenship.She can be a mother, a housekeeper, yes, a slave, but she can never be a citizen, because she is lacking in the qualities that go to make an intelligent and enfranchised member of the state.Is woman less intelligent than man?1f she is, it is because of lack of opportunity to cultivate her intellect.Only lately have the privileges of the higher eduea- tion been granted to women.But already do we find women in the majority as educatars of the young, Women also lead in many departments of social, and moral reform.Why?\u201cBecause history repeats itself, and as it was in the days of Deborah, so is it to-day.Men are not always willing to lead.1 do not think for one moment that women want to lead in the crusade against drink and vice of one kind and another tht to-day is s2pning the ny is of so ciety.But if men refuse t> lead on these modern crusades, then the Deborahs of our own time wil\u201d i Mr.Hopkin then dealt with woman as a wage-earner.On this phase of his subject he spoke at length and advocaiel not less pay for women workers but an equal wage for equal work.The speaker also spoke of the new woman as a wife and mother, and said, while marriaze is something every true woman shoul! look forward to, yet he would advice every young woman to prepare herself for some calling in life, rather than «it still and wait for some man to come along with a proposal of marriage.\u201cNever be achant ed of work,\u201d suid he.\u201ca thousand times rather be an old maid and work for a living all your days than be chained in marriage to a cruel, selfish and unloving man.\u201d A NEW PROPRIETOR.Mr.A.Davidson, who fias made many friends in Westmount as manager of Mr.W.H.Chapman\u2019s branch drug store, 4205 St.Catherine street,has purchased the business, which he so well established.It has always been Mr.Davidson's plen- sure to accommodate every one who visited his store, and it is mect that he should now reap the benefits which he has work ed up during the pass eight vears.The prescription department will continue under his direct supervision, and telophaona orders, or night bell ealls wiil all receive that strict attention that has won in the past the good-will and patronage cf all who have bad dealings with the store.Mr.Davidson is agent in Westmount for the G.N.W.Telegrann Co:apany, and the Canadian Express Company.Several reside:its of thn town, who live beyond Greene avenue, several blocks, stated at The Herald Westmount office Saturday that they wore not satisfied with the street car service Tha number of cars to go round the Inop was not encugh.Too many cars stopped at Greene avenue, necessitating very long waits between cars, for all pcople bevond Greene avenue.Of course, th:re are two rides to the question.and large numbers of business men and others who take the cars at Green avenue, find these extra ears, tbat turn around there a great convenience.It is well-known that the street railway company have tried to please every one, and it is equally well-known that that task is impossible.In this case.however, the extreme west end people desorve to be humored, as pleased tongues wag {reely, and beget patronage.A nice-looking Italian, was grinding | away at his piano-organ, Saturday inorn- | ing, just near Greene avenue.He looked like a new grinder, fresh from the sunny vales, and azure skies, of Italy, and he had some new tunes.Suddenly the mon.! otony of \"The mau that bruke the bank\u201d | was broken by a popular aria from grand | opera.The impressario at the crank seemed to have a good car, and instead of » sawing off the music as in the previous | tune, conducted the performance with | judgment as to time.Startled at hearing | such high-class music a cultured looking Westmounter stopped and listened.\u2018The ari fimshed, some change was made ir the machine\u2019s adjustment and off went the music, this time a selection irom l.o- hengrin.When the music ceased the listener.crossed the street, took a coin from his pocket, gave it to the grinder, and said: \u201cDo you know English?\u201d \u201cYeh,\u201d replied the Dago.pocketing the coin and grinning.\u201cThen I'd like you to play that last piece again.\u201d The impressario seized the handle, turner it vigorously and the air vibratel with the weepful strains of \u201c\u201cTa-Ra-Ra oom-de-ay.\u201d Societies.COURT M'GILT,

alarm.Considering these things, the descent of fifty sheep upon the town of Jefferson, as though they had formed themselves into an excursion party somewhere among the mountains, does not.look reasonably explainable.The general theory is that bitter cold and deep snows in the higher altitudes, drove them downward, and they joined together for mutual protection as they travelled from peak to peak.Killing mountain sheep is absolutely prohibited by law in Colorado.It is a close season all the year round with animals, just as it is with buffalo.Commercial.WHEAT IN CHICAGO.J.R.Willard,

have become rather bearish, and most of them seem to be looking for 70 to 65 cent wheat.The inference is that they have sold out their specuiative holdings and are now trying to run a campaign on the

sheep of the Rocky Mountains has been calmly grazing around the town of Jefferson and close to the railroads.It is said that the sheep do not display any sign of fear of the Jefferson people.Many of them come in open daylight within easy pistol-shot of the residences.They do not run away unless somebody purposely tries to frighten them.; For many years past the sight of a moutain sheep has been a rarity in Colorado, and usually but one at a time has been seen.A hunter far off from civilization might desery a solitary sheep perched on a crag overlooking somes wilt and steep canon, but hardly

QUEBEC BY 4 T0 2 An Exciting Hockey Match Played at the Ancient Capital Between Old Time Rivals.HOW THE TRICK WAS DONE The Quebecers Appeared on the Ice With Stuffed Bloomers, So It Didn't Hurt Them a Bit to Fall, Quebec, Jan.24.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The senior championship hockey match played here to-night between the Montreals and Que- bees resulted in a victory of 4 to 2 in favor of the visiting team.The large crowd of spectators witnessed good hockey, but were somewhat disappointed in their expectations of the ability of the home team.Evidently the better team won.To-night the Quebec players wore a new style of pants that looked like life-preservers, and which added to their weight but proved a great comfort when they fell on the ice Goalkeepers Collins and Stocking were dressed like baseball catchers, The players meant business, and, in fact, the match was a fast and lively one all through.At 8.30 the puck was faced wtih the teams lining as follows :\u2014 AMAAA,

was stopped five minutes while Murphy went in to fiix his skate.Through good combination Sinith scored.Time, 10 minutes.The second game was opened by a strong attack on the Montreal defence.Time and again Collins and Murphy saved the goals.Barlow and Horsfall, through a splendid combination, brought the puck in their opponents\u2019 field, and McKerrow scor ed after 13 minutes\u2019 play.During the third game Swift spoiled his partner\u2019s work by exhibiting individual play.After making some fine runs with the puck he repeatedly threw in the Montreal defence.Checking was getting ex ceedingly hard on both sides.The crowd being naturally sympathetic to the home team was yelling \u2018\u2018game\u201d every time the puck would come near the visitors\u2019 goal After 4 minutes Barlow scored.The fourth game lasted just twelve sce onds, Barlow pushed the puck, which roll ed like a log between Stockings\u2019 legs.During the fifth game some of the Que bec players made a bad use of their sticks They broke several of them trying to check their opponents.In the last half hour ot play Doyle was sent to the fence for fouling Barlow.At one time six players came in conflict, and made a hash in the corner of the rink: fortunately no one got hurt Stocking did some fine play in the goals.Doyle was allowed on the ice again, ang helped Swift in scoring.Time, 15 min utes.The sixth and last game was exceedingly fast Barlow\u2019s splendid skating was ap plauded.The Quebec forwards showed a lack of courage, but their defence played well.Horsfall and Barlow still kept up their excellent combination play, and after 8 minutes\u2019 play Howard scored.The seventh game remained unfinished, time being called.Summary :\u2014 First game.Quebec.Smith Sccond game.Montreal

local team defeated the St.Lawrence Hockey Club, of Brockville, in a senior league game by a score of two goals to one.On the whole the hockey played was not as good as has been put up in some of the previous matches.This was due in a measure to the peculiar style of the visitors.The Brockville team has several important points to learn yet about hockey, but \u201chustling\u201d is not one of them.They vorked like demons from start to finish.Their checking was remarkably hard and they used the body more than did the Cornwalls.While work seemed to be their strong point, shooting was evidently not their forte.Some of the Cornwallites did not seem to put up their usual game.The visitors hustled from the start and in about 15 minutes secured the first game.Cornwall then became aggressive and stored twice before half time.The score remained thus till the finish, as in the second half neither team was able to score.Several times in this half Turner, who was the bright particular star of the home team, carried the puck the entire length of the rink, and only missed scoring by a foot or two.Milden was a regular stonewall on (\u2018ornwall\u2019s back division.The officials, who were all Morrisburg men, gave excel lent satisfaction.Captain Rose was referee, was very strict and impartial.Con- nell, Simpson, George and Archibald put np an excellent game for Brockville.Fournier also did splendid work between the poles.The teams were as folows: Brockville.Cornwall.Fournier .Goal .Peacock Larocque .».Polut .,Mattice Connell .Cover point .Milden Archibald

between the Grammar School and the Daisies was played on the school ice on Saturday last, which, after a very close game, resulted in a victory ror the School by a score of 3 to 2.When half-time was called the score stood 2 to 1 in favor of the Schonl.however, In the second half.the Daisies put the rnbber throngh, making the matters equal.The game remained the same till the finish.After a delay of a few minutes it was decided to play the game off, and after ten minutes of fast and exciting hockey Mac- Pherson with a fine shot settled the matter for the School.The teams were: School.Daisies.D.S.Guugh .Goal .\u2026.Laurie W.Blair .Point .Church S.Smith .Cover point .J.Creag D.Mowat .Forwards .W.Stuart Darley Smith .R.Turnbull R.Reinhardt .\u2018 ee +.T.Ross D.Macpherson

seven.The game throughout was devoid of in terest, being at times of the \u201cfuneral\u201d or der, and at half time the score was 5 to 0 in Pembroke's favor, {he remainder of the game was more keenly contested, but the Ottawa boys were not fast enough, and were unable to score.The home team scored one game, making the result 6 to 0.The players were :\u2014 Pembroke\u2014W.Pink, goal; J.Moffatt, point; C.McPhee, cover point; E.Irvine, E.Jones, N.Hale, J.Stewart, forwards.Metropolitans\u2014E.W.Borbridge, goal; O.Lafleur, point; E.Capbert, cover point: P.J.Conolly, M.Lafambroise,

little troubie in winning a game from the Yale team at the 3t.Nicholas rink to-night.The score was 3 to 0 in fa- ver of the Canadians, but a member of the Yale team remarked after the game was over that the Queen's boys couid have made it larger if they had tried a little harder.The game was a remarkadly prot.ty one.TURF AND TRACK.OTTAWA ICE RACES.Ottawa, Jan.23.\u2014The Ottawa Trotting Club

the races will take place on Stateni Island, because the ice here was not {in good condition.The'ice was and is in fine shape for racing, and the local suL- scribers and the racers that,are left here

fun: For with the frost and falling snow, Our pleasures have begun, As we go tramping ou snow-shoes, Chorus: \u2019 Hurrah! Hurrah! it's jolly on the snow, Hurrah! Hurrah! the stiffest storm may But we face it with a will that snow- shoers only know, As we go tramping on snow-slioes.It's a good old song and many times it bas been sung by the boys of old St, George's.On Saturday night they sang it as heartily as it has ever been sung since it was written by Dr.Beers in 1874.It was veterans night at the club house and a right good night it was.The occasion is always looked forward to and is always enjoyed by the large crowd which turns out to say how-d\u2019ye-do to the \u201cboys\u201d who were the mainstay of the instiution in days long gone by.It was just seven when President R.A.E.Greenshields said :\u2014 \u201c Gentlemen be seated,\u201d and the gath ering settled down to one of those thoroughly good dinners for which St.George\u2019s is renowned.Among those present were :\u2014 President Greenshields, R.Stanley Bagg, Ald.Penny, M.P.; J.P.B.Casgrain, T.H.Brown, H.F.Cook, C.H.Gwilt, F.McNash, R.8S.Kinghorn, R.H.Bartholomew, J.Carroll,

finished.There were a few informal toasts such as the menu, the president, the vice presidents and the veterans.To these Messrs.Greenshields, Mackie, Sully, Shorey and Stanley Bagg, responded.These speeches were all in a most happy vein ; full of wit and humor and brings ing about an hour of repartee that was thoroughly enjoyable and in keeping with the reputation of the members of the famous club.Towards nine o\u2019clock the gathering moved out to the dance hall where a magnificent log fire was throwing out its heat and light and lending to all an inspiration that meant the greatest kind of merri- nent.There was no restraint ; they danced cotillions, waltzed and romped like a lot of free-from-care school children\u2014a happier scenc cannot be imagined.Then there was a rest and short speeches were delivered hy Ald.Penny, and Mr.Casgrain : Mr.T.Williamson sang two pretty solos and Mr.W.FE.Burgess gave a ventriloquial entertainment.But great as the fun had been it could not be compared to that which followed when the \u201ccake walk\u201d comnetitors arrived.First came Doctor Nichol, gowned as though he were the greatest lady in the land ; his, or her, gentlemen was Mr.H.P.Howard ; then came Mr.John H.Garth, who got little Miss Pittman, the club manager's daughter, to walk with him, he was followed by President Green- shields, whose \u201cgirl\u201d was Mr.R.H.Bartholomew ; Mr.M.J.Fraser and Mr.J.Carroll: Mr.B.T.A.Kurk- house and Mr.W.Strachan, Mr.Stonewall Jackson and Mr.H.T.Cook.No cake walk was ever more enjoyed than was that ome.The judges were: Mr.Shorey and Mr.Bagg, and they had their hands full in reaching an honest decision.Finally Messrs Nichol ard Howard were awarded the prize.Then followed some splendid chorusses, Auld T.ang Syne and bouncing the guests.which brought the night to a close.The strangers were tossed high in the air, much to the amusement of all.Cabs were ordered.som\u201d strapped on their snowshoes and through the brisk night air the party made its wav home to a much needed rest.MONTREAL'S LADIES\u2019 NIGHT.The annual Ladies Night of the \u201cOld Tuque Bleue\u201d Snowshoe Club is one of the social events

sincerity said: \u201cSullivan was the greatest pugilist of them all in his time, and was the last of the old-school fighters made famous by Jem Mace and Joe Goss.I am sorry to hear of Sullivan's illness and hard luck, and hope he will soon recover, for, although I won the championship by defeating him, I have a warm regard for ithe big fellow.\u201d \u201cYou regard him, then, as an honest fighter?\u201d \u201cMost certainly I do.He fought to win, and preferred the middle of the ring.He has enjoyed the highest honors of the prize ring, and until the new style of fighting came into use through Jack Dempsey and Charley Mitchell he was regarded as the most marvellous pugilist in the history of the ring.Sullivan improved upon Mace\u2019s style of fighting by inventing the right swinging knock-out hlow, with which he was very successful.\u201d BOWLING.VICS DEFEATED IN QUEBEC.Quebec, Jan.23.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The Vie toria Rifle Bowling Club was not success ful here to-day

4 for the Vics.f If ever a hockey team saw a victory suddenly fade into a rather galling defeat that team was the Shamrocks and the occasion was last Saturday night, when they plaved and lost to the Victorias.The champions, weakened by the absence of two of their best forwards, were hopelessly out of it in the first half.Of combination they had none, and as an aggressive force they were not to be reckoned.Fortunate- lv for them, their defence was strong encugh to cope with some measure ;of suc- eess with the dashing forward line of the Shamrocks, but on the play generally the Vies were distinctly outclassed.The first half ended 3 to 1 in Shamrocks\u2019 favor.They had a cinch, a water-tight, choke bare, time-lock, sunk-hinge, fire-proof, an- gle-ivon, stell-face, pistol-grip, lead-pipe cinch.Massey, the Vics\u2019 latest promoted colt, was badly hurt and seemed hardly fit to play, and then the champions came out in the second half and scored five games in quick succession, winning finally by 6 goals to 4.The victory of the Victorias may fairly be credited to Bob Macdougall, \u201cthe demon.\u201d At the end of the first half he announced tersely and emphatically, if not politely, that he was not going to pass the puck to any one, but was going to play a lone hand.He did so.He flickered all over the ice like a lambent flame, made impossible shots, skated as he seldom skated before, and altogether played such an astonishing game that even Tom Wall gave a ghost of a cheer.McLea also took the aggressive, and the Victoria attack, though n thing of shreds and patches, thoroughly broke up the well-organized defence of the Shamrocks.Davidson and Drinkwater, the two Vie: toria forwards, whose absence was so noticeable, were the most unhappy men in the rink at the end of the first half.Davidson looked as cheerful as a wet Sunday in Toronto, while Drinkwater had the woc-begone expression of the man who stole the mill-pond but got caught when he went back for the dam.Just as the match ended a man among the spectators had an epileptic fit.He was carried into the dressing-room, where Dr.Yates soon brought him round.Bob Wall remarked sympathetieally that the patient was pro bably a Victoria man who had gone away at the end of the first half and come back at the end of the second.The game.while at times exciting, was not up to the standard expected in the senior league.The Shamrock team is a sirong, well-balanced aggregation.Dobby, Farrell, Wall and Brown make a splendid forward line, and in the first half some ot their comlinations were magnificent.Stephen and Pagnuelo were both strong, but Belcourt's game was erratic.Lewis, in the Victoria goal, saved magnificently, while Henderson at point was several degrees cooler than the proverbial cucumber Grant\u2019s position iis a difficult ann.He has such a reputation to live up to that people expect miracles of him.He d\u2018d not play his usual game.however.His checking was not sure and at times his lifting was weak, but this was more than counterbalanced hy several excellent saves and runs which converted Shamrock attacks into struggles round their own goal.(iillelan played a hard game, but his passing was inaccurate.For a colt, Massey showed un well.He was badly hurt in the first half.but his pluck carried him through, and he gained repeated applause in the second.The position of referee was no sinecure, but Mr.Findlav officiated to the apparent satisfaction of hoth sides.The teams were: Shamrocks.Victorias.Pagnuelo .Goal .Lewis Belcourt ce aa Point - .Henderson

referee's whistle blown for the commencement of hostilities when the Vics\u2019 goal was in danger.Wall hreught the puck down and passed to Doh- by.who sent in a stinger, which Lewis deftly returned.The puck was kept well down on the Victoria citadel, however.Grce the Vics got a chance for a rush, but Gillelan went off-side.Farrell and Piewn did some neat juggling, and passed tn Tobby, who sent in a hot one which scored.The second game opensd wtih some hard, fast work.Each sile in turn tool: the aggressive, but the puck was -not forced past _cither of the point men.The Vie toria forwards work \u2018ras notireably raz- ged.MeLea was warmed for slashing and Pagnuelo also came under the referee's offended eye.Then began a long Sham.reek siege.Dobby and Wall boih tried sbete, which Lewis stopped.There was a scramble round the Victoria goal, and Grant swiped the rubber out.MacDou- gall recured, dodged all the way up, and ; prssed to MeLea, who scored.| The third gaine was

opponents, and Wall scared at \u2018last from = neat pass by Dobby.| Ta the remaining eight er nine minutes : there was no scoring, but the puel was nearly always on the Victoria goal, Once MacDougall got fav enough up to shoot and he claimed to have socred, but Umpire Andrews didn't see it that way.received a nasty blow on the brea Massey st from n stick, and had to be assisted from the .ice.Victoria sympathizers velled for \u201cDavidson\u201d to replace him, but after a ten minute rest Massey was able tn con.| finue Durne the h:17 time interval the crowd and Wall both sent in hot

with joyful expectancy.was where a good thing went wrong, : The second half opened with à bri ant Victoria attack.Massey sent in 2 £ o which Pagnuelo returned well up the rink.MacDougall secured, eluded the Shamroes defence in an astonishing run, and passe to McLea, who scored.; Again the Vies took the aggressive.Le puck was faced in front of the Shammoct goal for Belcourt\u2019s having carried it.Wa made a desperate atterapt to relieve, pass ed Grant.but lost to Henderson, who rau down and passed to Gillelan.The shot went wide, and Pagnuelo was warned for kneeling in goal.The play was distinctly In the Vics\u2019 favor, and after two attacks v scored again.M ae was three all\u201d now, and Vie toria sympathizers found tongue at last.Their shout of encouragement became a -ell of victory when a few minutes later MacDougall got the rubber, glided through the green shirts like a ghost through a graveyard.and sent in a shot which might have come from a cannon.Up went the umpire\u2019s hand again.; Almost immediately the same thing oc curred again.McLea got it from the face end passed to the demon, who put another goal to the champions\u2019 credit.This turn in affairs seemed to take the heart out of the Shamrocks, for never again did they put up the game they had been putting up before.It was McLea who did the trick again with a clever run from one end of the rink to the other, and a difficult side-shot.Wall went back to cover point, and Ste phen took his place forward.Then oc: curred an interesting contest between Grant and Wall, in which the Shamrock man had the upper hand.Grant came down with the puck, and Wall bodied him squarely off his feet, much to the edification of the crowd.Again the Victorian came down, this time with fire in his eye.The players almost forgot the puck in their interest.The two men came together wilh a ciatter of hockey sticks, but Wall was as solid as a rock, and the Vic caplain re turned to his end of the rink.The play began to get slack on both sides, and Wail scored by a long shot from the side.This ended the scoring, and the toot of the timekeepers\u2019 whistle was the signal for a wild rush of Victoria men on to the ice.The champions were warmly congratulated on all sides for the handsome manner in which victory had been snatched from the jaws of defeat.Summary :\u2014 Game Won by.Scored

of a slave, both in Greece aud oriental countries generally, was the lack of any covering for the head.Accordingly the cap came to be considered the insignia of liberty, and when slaves were given their freedom they were presented with a cap as an emblem of it.In Sparta the helots wore a cap of dogskin and this was reckoned a badge of servitude, but upon gaining their freedom this was replaced by a cap of a different material, of another shape and ornamented with flowers, A similar custom was observed in Rome, where the presentation of the pileus or cap was always a part of the ceremony of manumitting a slave; hence arose the proverb, \u2018\u2018Servos ad pileum vo- care,\u2019 Algo on medals the cap is the symbol of liberty and is usually represented as being held in the right hand by the point.When a cap was exposed to the people's view on the top of a \u201cspear, as in the case of the conspiracy against Cæsar, it was intended as a public invitation to them to embrace the liberty that was offered them.The Goddess of Liberty on Mount Aventine was represented as holding a cap in her hand us a symbol of freedom.The Jacobins wore a rèd cap during the French revolution, and in England a blue cap with a white border is used as a symbol of liberty.The custom which prevails among university students of wearing a cap is said to have had its origin in a wish to signify that the wearers had acquired fall liberty and were no Jonger subject to the rod of their superiors, \u2014 Brooklyn Eagle.Indian Blankets, Blanket collecting is one of the divergions of the officers\u2019 wives who fallow their husbands\u2019 fortunes to western forts.In New Mexico among the Navajoes these blankets are curious products.The designs are original with each worker and are interesting imprints of individual impressions.One displayed by an army woman, lately returned from a considerable stay at a fort near Santa Fo, has black trains of cars wandering over its red ground.The Indian who made it evidently admired the sweep of a railroad train and roproduced itso far as possible in the blanket.Another in the same collection has a queer mixed | border of scrolls and figures without ap- ; parent relation and still jumbled to- ; Rether in a sort of harmony.This, the present owner relates, was admired by a friend of hers, and in consequence a request to duplicate it was made of its maker.But the old squaw promptly refused.A papoose of hers had died while the blanket was being wrought, and in her simple reasoning the two facts were effect and cause.The pattern had be- witehed the baby, and no inducement could coax a repetition of g,\u2014 New York Post.the work.ere A Judge of English on the Bench.James Lane Allen of the Chicago bar is one of the most polished of men.A public

weekly financial review Mr.Henry Clews says :\u2014 \u201cThe underlying foreign factors are of more importance than may ap pear at first sight.One of the greatest aggravations of the unfortunate financial troubles of the last four years has arisen from the profound distrust they have ex cited among the bankers and capitalistic classes on the other side of the Atlantic.After sending home their securities and withdrawing less permanent forms of loan to the combined extent of probably hundreds of millions of dollars, they are now surprised\u2014I may almost say astounded\u2014to find us in no real sense weakened, but competent to lend them large amounts ot capital, to defer payment of fifty millions of gold which it is within our power to { draw hither, and to thus afford great re- | lief to a very stringent condition of the European money markets\u2014thereby exhib- | iting a potency in international finance which we have never heretofore possessed.These are facts which must tell for some- ! thing in the future foreign status of American credit.\u201cThe recovery in the investment markot \u2018above noted appears to be attributable almost entirely to.the consciousness that at last we have entered upon a stage of great and substantial improvement in financial conditions.The condition of the railroads ig contributing little towards this recovery, for their earnings are at present unsaflis factory, although the storms may be held .largely responsible for that.Neither has ; trade yet developed any surprising recov: : ery: although the symptoms are not wanting that in the manufactures and the dis tributing trades we are in the beginning of a healthy revival.\u201d -\u2014 KE \u201cTIP ON STIS One Man Trades on the Strength of Dreams, .Bought Manhattan IL.ead and Cordage All in One Day\u2014A Great Scheme.A new era has been opened in stock speculation.A well-known Boston broker breaks in on these days of ordinary tips with the announcement that a customer of his trades on dreams.Monday night last he dreamed that he was walking on the track of the Manhattan Elevated Road, when some one hit him with a piece of lead pipe.He fell between the ties, but saved himself by catching at a rope that was hanging between them.Tuesday morning he rushed to the broker and placed a buy order for $1,200 worth of Manhattan, Lead, and Cordage.The broker is now thinking of adding an astrologer to his outfit.lS.BONS Have Been Meeting With an Increased Demand.And in Consequence Have Been Displaying Quite Remarkable Strength.For the past few days the Government bond market has been showing consider- nble activiby and remarkable strength.On Wednesday the new 4 per cents reached the highest figure at which they ever :sold.The demand for Governments has been steadily increasing since the election and has kept in pace with the gradual loosening of money throughout the country.The demand of late for investment securities has been for gilt-edged bonds, and very naturally the Government issues were the favorites.Mr.George W.Close of the .Stock Exchange firm of Lochran & Close.said on Saturday: \u201cPeople are clamoring for Government bonds in a manner that would appear to indicate that they were investments giving a considerable yield.Such is not the case.The new Governments, selling at 122% and taking into consideration the accrued interest, pay only 2.88 per cent.The other Government issues return even less than that.\u201cOne of the principal factors in the strength of the Government bond market is the tenacity with which holders of these issues hold on to them.If it is suggested to a holder that his bonds are commanding : a remarkably high price and that it would be wise to take some profit on them, he at once meets the suggestion by declaring that he has nowhere else and knows of nowhere else to re-invest his money.The truth of the matter is that Government bonds, even at a somewhat lower figure, ara more attractive for investment because of the high character which public sentiment attach®s to them.\u201d THE BUILDING WOULD SUIT.Hon.Messrs.Chapais and Hackett have visited the McDonald bleck, and found the building perfectly well adapted to the wants of the Mining Association of the Province of Quebec, who have suggested that block for the use of the proposed Mining Bureau.\u2014 Is Canned Tomatoes, We are most

Inactive Owing to the Cold Weather.HERALD Office, Monday, January 26.Wheat opened somewhat better in the Chicago market to-day, but failed to hold the improvement for any length of time.May started ke higher at 80ic, and then went to 80äc.That was the top figure for the morning.The market gradually sagged to 80c, and then went to 79%c.'Towards noon increasing easiness became apparent, and May went to 794c, and wus quoted at 79§c to 79%e shortly after 12 o\u2019clock.Tatest reports from Italy indicate favorable prospects for the growing crops.Latest reports from Southwestern Eu- repe are generally favorable for the wheat crop prospects.The English authorities claim that Eu- rcpe will need 93,000,000 bushels of foreign wheat up to March 31st and of this amount 39,000,000 bushels is expected from Atlantic ports.The Mark Lane Express says the prospects for the growing English wheat crop are very satisfactory.English farmers\u2019 deliveries 51,300 qrs.at average price of 31s 8d.Estimated deliveries all points 1,026,000 bushels.The Russian exports of oats from August 1 to December 26 have been 4,189,- 000 qrs.against 3,174,000 qrs.last year.Receipts at New York this week:

from August Ist to January 1st.It compared the present season with 1894 when the crop moved freely and says that if that position is correct, Minneapolis and Duluth will receive 34,000,000 bu.from January 1 to August 1, this season.Approximately 14,000,000 bu.of this wheat was at present in country elevators and the remaining 20,000,000 bu.would have to be delivered by farmers.The total supply of foreign and home grown wheat in the United Kingdom the past season is estimated at 28,442,750 qrs.against 20,298,227 qrs.the preceding year and 26,956,826 qrs.two years ago.MONTREAL MARKETS, The Usual Monday Inactivity Ex- isted in all Lines.Cheese Remains About the Sam \u2014-News From the Other Side.GRAIN.The grain market continues in pretty much the same groove.Business amounts to very little and the market on the whole presents a pretty quiet appearance In the west only a very moderate demand is experienced.A few cars of oats and peas have been taken for export, and that appears to be about the extent of the business.It is noticed that exporters have been enquiring a little more freely tor barley, but results so far have been small.The most important change in local grain stocks during the week was an increase of a little over 10,300 bushels in oats, placing the present stock up to 179,785 bushels, against 180,820 bushels a year ago.Rye, during the week increased 1,- 225 bushels, and barley about the samo amount.Changes in other grades were unconsequent.The following gives a fair idea of present values : Wheat No.1 hard.Fort William, 00e to 00c ; wheat, No.2 hard, nominal ; peas, per 60 Îhs., in store, 48¢c to 49c ; oats, No.2, white, in store, 244c to 242c ; oats\u2014American in bond, 00c to 00c ; rye, No.2, 40c to 4lc; barley, feed, afloat, 32c to 34c ; barley, 00c to 00c; buckwheat, per bush, 34e to 35c.FLOUR.Dullness seems to be the only feature of the flour market just at present.The stormy weather is having a tendency to restrict operators in the country, and locally the demand is slow.In an export way no new purchases have been reported.Some of the millers are pretty busy fillinz old orders and do not find it convenient to accept new oncs especially at present unattractive prices.Values are:\u2014Straight rollers, $4.30 to 34.40 : do.bags, $2.10 to $2.25 ; superfine $0.00 to $0.00; extra bags, $0.00 to $0.00 ; strong bakers\u2019, patents, Man., $5.10 to 85.30 ; winter patents, Ont., $4.70 to $4.90.MEAL.The market is rather quiet, although tbe movement seems to be of about the usual jobbing volume.Values follow : Rolled, per bag, $1.70 to $1.75; rolled, per bbl, £3.30 to $3.40; granulated, per bbl.83.25 to $3.40 ; granulated, per bag, $1.70 to 81.75.FEED.Bran and shorts continue very quiet, with nrices on about the same level, Quite a lot of bran has been sent to Liverpool.Prices remain as follows : Bran, $9.30 to 810 ; shorts, $11 to $12 ; mouille, $11 to $12, HAY.The movement is light, and prices remain about the same.No.1 is still quoted at $10.25 to $10.50 on track, and No.2 at $9.00 to $9.50.CHEESE.The cheese market is dull.Values, how- aver.are firm and it was just ss difficult to buy cheese to-day as it was any time last week.° The shipments for the week from New York foot up 11,407 boxes, including 7, 471 boxes to Liverpool, 54 boxes to Southampton.1,024 boxes to London, 1893 boxes ta Glasgow, and 1,048 boxes to Bristol.A New York report says :\u2014\u2018 Purchases of cheese by exporters have been fully 9.000 to 10,000 boxes during the week, but not all being shipped this week.\u2018The home trade demand continues fairly active and enough business doing in fancy small eclored at 113¢ to warrant the cuota- tions.\u201d Concerning the London cheese market a report says :\u2014\u201c The market for Canadian has been very active, and large sales bave taken place of finest September make at 538 to 34s for both white and colored.There is a good enquiry for New Zealand of both sorts now being landed at 508 to 52s.For English Cheddars there is also more enquiry, and prices range from 603 up to 76s, and even a few shillings more for exceptionally choice dairice Dutch Red Edams range from 47a to 57s, and Goudas 43s to 33s.There are 2,709 erat 8 of New Zealand now in dock.but why the \u201cGothic,\u201d one of the very best fitted ships in the service for carrying cheese, and which arrived over a week ago, had none on board, is a mystery to all the agents in London.\u201d BUTTER.The market remains in about the sama pcsition.The news from the other side ture, and exporters on this market ave doing very little In a local way the demand is fair, and values on the whole are firm.Finest creamery is quoted on the basis of 193c to 20e.DRESSED HOGS.The cold weather appears to have created a somewhat better feeling in the market, and prices are firm.\u2018SDOA The market is not active, but there is a fair trade doing at steady prices.Fresh are quoted at 22c upwards, Montreal limed at l4¢ to l4ic and western l'med 13e to 13ic.PROVISIONS.The market is moving slowly at the old values.Canada short cut mess, per bbl, $11 to $12.50 ; Canada short cut, old, $10 to $10.50 ; beef, extra, mess, per bbl, $00.00 to $00.00 ; beef, plate, per tre., 300 tIb., 00c to 00c ; hams, city cured per 1b., \u201881e to 10c; lard, pure Can., per 1b., 6c to 7c; lard, com., refined, per 1b.43 to 6c.COMMERCIAL FEATURES, Cold Weather Rather Hurts Local Business.What the Grain, Flour, and Produce Men Were Talking About.Business was pretty quiet all round in the local markets to-day, the cold weather keeping a good many buyers back.Private advices received make the world\u2019s shipments of wheat to Europe the past week 4,830,000 bushels, compared with 4.600,000 bushels a year ago.A Chicago special said: \u201cStocks of provisions estimated for February 1st, 100.000 contract pork, 60,000 old pork, 23 million ribs.150,090 new lard, 70,000 old lard.Primary receipts to-day were 218,000, shipments 150,000.A second cable to-day quoted the market dull, and half a penny lower.A cable from Beerbohm said total shipments from Russia since August lst, 650, 780 quarters.Same time in \u201895 and \u201896.6578230 quarters.Chicago special: W.H.Beebe shows a letter from an Ohio miller that they are geting wheat more freely from farmers.CANADIAN FLOUR The Extent of the Australian Export Trade.Entire Surplus of the Leading Milling Firm Bought for Six Months.This morning the following despatch was received from Winnipeg :\u2014\u201cSir Roderick Cameron, who has been at Rat Portage for some time, has made a big contract with the Lake of the Woods Milling Company.Sir Roderick\u2019s firm has contracted for all thé flour manufactured over their regular trade.They are to get 100,- 000 barrels in the four months following | i December 1st last.Fifty cars, each containing 200 barrels, left the Keewatin Mills during December, and 75 cars are expected to be shipped this month.Sir Roderiek\u2019s firm, R.W.Cameron and Co., has offices in London, Eng.; New York, and Sydney, Australia.They are large shippers of merchandise, both by their own vessels and by others.They have contracted for ail the available space for carrying flour on th Canadian Pacific Railway steamships sailing to Australia to forward the Hour contracted for with the Lake of the Woods Milling Company.This Australian market is a grand thing for the wheat growers of our Western prairie.It gives them better prices and keeps the flour mills running fuli capacity.\u201d When seen at the company\u2019s head office this morning, Mr.Robert Meighen stated that the foregoing statement was substantially correct.LOSSES IN BUTTER, Lot of Money Dropped on the Other Side Recently.Some Shippers Lost £8,000 \u2014 Australia Did Not Ship Judiciously.-_\u2014 Reports of big losses in butter from the other side are quite frequent.A late report from London says: \u2018The market for Australian and New Zealand butter is depressed under the circumstances re lated above, and the weakness s aggravated by the total want of system in supplying British markets which at present prevails In our last report we drew attention to the arrival of nearly 1,000 tons of butter during the Christmas holidays, when every grocer and butterman had previously secured his Christmas and New Year market supply.After a fortnight's interval six vessels arrived during four days this week from Australasia, and are now discharging nearly 1,500 tons of butter or half our total weekly import.No wonder that prices have receded 2s per cwt., and thus causcd an absolute loss of £3,000 to the shippers of the butter now discharging.How much further loss \u2018there will be owing to deterioration in quality before it all gets consumed it is dfficult to say, but a method of supply- nig British markets, more injurous to the Australasian butter trade, than that which has prevailed for the last six or seven weeks, it would be impossible to devise.During the whole of this pe- Belting.YOU WANT IT.I SUPPLY IT Phone 250.D.K.McLAREN, 24 Victoria Square.:6IX months ending December I ) 4

both exports and imports there was a decrease in the duty collected.The duty was $9,683,601, compared with $9,076,- 827 for the six months of 1895, or a decrease in the past six months of

Few Facts About Bobbie Burns, PAPER BY REV.MR.CROSS.Instances of His Versatile and Vigorous Genius.He Typified in His Poems the Stern and Democratic Character of the Scottish Race.Robert Burns, born on the 25th day of January, 1759.Bobbie must have thought there was something in a name, for he altered his father\u2019s patronymic from Burness to Burns.The \u201cpriest-like father,\u201d so admirably portrayed in \u201cThe Cottar\u2019s Saturday Night,\u201d was sternly upright, but unsuccessful, the history-makers tell us, for the world has not yet come to call successful a life in which true nobility of character exists without the money-getting knack.From his bright, vivacious mother the poet inherited his gift of song, his love of ballad and romance.His first book of poems, issued to provide him with money to emigrate, was so successful financially that the necessity for going at all was removed.His ambition was fired.To Edinburgh he went instead of to Jamaica, and the admiration of a brilliant circle of talent and beauty sapped staunch independence.He and his wife Jean lived on the Ellisland farm, but farming and likewise the duties of the excise reccived too little attention.Three years sutliced to show him he was not likely to conduct farming operations without loss.They moved to Dumfries in 1791, and the young man of thirty- two, shuianed, embittered, in {failing health, wrote his hot, disappointed heart into his gongs, weird with his sorrow, and throbbing with the wild not of the \u201cmight have been.\u201d In 1796 he died, mourned indeed by those who knew of all the struggle and all the failure and heart-ache, but pitied and beloved, too.Now a hundred years have elapsed.The mantle of flesh comes more rarely into our minds.We stand in awe of the bright, keen intellect, the warm heart of him, and he has his worship, stronger each year, but too late for him.The Rev.Andrew W.Cross says in a recent paper: \u201cIt has been remarked that the most difficult thing about the painting of a landscape picture is to know just where to sit down.\u201cBefore the vigorous, erratic, versatile genius of Robert Burns, reflecting as 1t does upon every conceivable phase of life, it is difficult in a short paper like this to knuow just where to begin.Amid such a galaxy of talent the difficulty is apparent of finding an advantageous starting point.\u201cThere i8 no more world-notorious fact in matters religious than the prevalence in Scotland of the sternest, most uncompromising species of the bluest Calvinism.Dr.Oliver Wendell Holmes once passed a remark of which the purport was: He could never understand how Scotland, Calvinistic, straight-laced Scotland, could clasp her national poet to her bosom without bursting her laces.The pen of Robert Burns wrote tha death warrant of Scotia\u2019s Calvinistic God.The sentence may be slow in execution, but His utter extinction is as sure as is the immortality of Caledonia\u2019s national bard.\u2018If the poet\u2019s arrows were barbed with wit,\u201d says Rev.David Macrae, a popular Scottish minister, \u2018they were also barbed with truth, and Calvinism could not shake tiem off.The dogma of election ever since Burns\u2019 day has been receding from the forefront of Scottish theology.The tone of preaching has been insensibly chang'ag) It has been declared with tiresome 1tPaa- tion that there is no religion in Burns\u2019 poems, but merely ruthless iconoclasm.if a man was in the undesiranle crubrace of an octopus and you valiantly rescued him from its cruel arms, you would scarcely expect him to reprove you for ruthlessly destroying his companion and not providing a more congenial comrade cn the spot! \u201cIllustrating his fierce wrath against hypocrisy, is his \u2018Address tae the Unco Guid,\u201d still honoring true religion but stigmatizing her \u2018fause freends\u2019: O ye wha are sae guid yoursel\u2019, Sae pious and sae holy, You've nought to do but mark and tell Your neebour\u2019s fauts and foliy!

the Federal Government, and the following statement, authorized by the Premicr, has been given out for publication:.\u201cThere has been consultation between the Governor-General and the Dominion Cabinet with regard to the best mode of evoking and transmitting further practical sympathetic help on the part of all Canada for the relief.of the present dire distress in Indian.The matter was discussed at Saturday\u2019s meeting of Council, and it is now officially announced that the Governor-General will gladly receive and forward all the Canadian collections and contributions that may be sent to him, cand which will thus form a National fund.His Excellency is inviting the active co-operation of the Lieutenant-Gov- ernors in support of the movement.Al) the leading banks also will be asked if they will kindly arrange to receive subscriptions at their head offices and branches through out the country.Mr, J.M.Courtney, the Deputy Minister of Finance, has con sented to act as treasurer of the fund, which will be called the \u201cCanadian Indian Famine Fund.\u201d The Governor-Genera] has intimated a donation of $1,000.\u201d London, Jan.25.\u2014Contributions to the Indian Famine Relief Fund, opened at the Mansoin House by the Lord Mayor, arc being steadily received, but thus far thev have not come up to popular expec tations.The subscriptions of the Queen who sent £500, and the Prince and Princess of Wales, who contributed together £230, have been overshadowed by the do pations of Mr.William Waldorf Astor and J.S.Morgan & Co., the former subscribing £2,000 and the latter £1,000.The fund is now getting up to the £100,000 mark, but, compared with the last fund, for a similar purpose, which amounted to £500,000, it is as vet comparatively insimni- ficant.This is no doubt due to the action of the Government, which, when the fund was first proposed, threw cold water on it, only to later have to acknowledge that such a fund would be necessary to keep thousands of the poverty-stricken natives of India from starvation.The optimistic views expressed by the Indian Government in face of the appalling conditions confronting it, are difficult to under-

Has Not Recalled His In structions that the City's Peace be Kept.The Hall-Slavin contest is, next to the cold snap, the absorbing topic among those who are interested in such matters.Mr.Boyle, Hall's manager, has engaged Sohmer Park for the event to-night, and he says that in carrying out the pro- ing within the limits of the law.his office to-day by a Herald reporter, and asked his intentions in view of the announcement made by Mr.Boyle.The Mayor said :\u2014*\u201cNothing that has been done recently in connection with this affair has been considered by me at all.The fact is that an arrangement was entered into by which these two well- known prize fichters were to meet in Montreal.This action would be against ; the law in every particular, and as the Mayor of the city, I gave instructions that at any cost, the fair fame of the city was to be guarded, and no breach of the peace delivered.These instructions have not been cancelled, and if the promoters persist in their intentions, the re sult will be upon their own heads.They have had ample warning.\u201d Before Judge Charland this afternoon an application was made for an injunction to prevent the Mayor issuing orders to stop the contest.The Judge refused the application and said that it must be understood that the Mayor's orders meant police interference whenever the by-law should be broken.VANCOUVER'S
