WEST.There are excellent prospects for some first-class coursing matches in St.Louis this spring and during the season of IN:7-0f, | i and if the St, Louis Coursing Club wil! devote some of Its surplus encigy to tlnt effect we will have oue of the best acetings this spring that has ever been held in the Mississippi Valley, says a >t.louis La per.During the last year it has become agi arent to American coursing men that Nt.ouis is rapidly becoming tha city of the country for grey-hounds, it not in nurabers, at least in quailly aad breeding.There are a dozen coursing kennely here which have one or more dogs fast and clever enough to compete in the highest classes of stukes, either on enclosed or open ) tields.Fanciers claim it requires a diferent tvpa of grey-hound to win In this conntry from what it does in England.!f such is the case winners should be crossed to strengthen the type, and in this wav time would bring about a certain type of urey hound which would be perfection itse!f for use oy our American jack rabbits, whieh ure some | - times called hares, Connolly led the hitting at a tremendous ; to tell.ly's neck, knocking him down.The latter, however, was on his feet

fast.very clever and gaine to ihe core.The courses here are apt to Hc long und hard.Whether because the zawe is 4isier or the grounds less obstructed, it is hard One thing that sometimes makes a bard course is a bad one wich a znod one, in which case the good one nsually wets a single-handed course.Coursing in fncios- ures like the fair grounds requires a differ- pent type of dogs from open couvsius, In hte inclosures the courses ars short and sharp, and a quick-starting, wiry little deg will often beat a dog iu the inelosed woeet- i ings that would make a monkey of him in the open.The really valuable groy-hound.and consequently the kind to breed in A:p- , erica, Is the one that win in both classes, \"open and inclosed, Fast, clever and a stayer: game and true as steel.Jor this you want good size, well-sprung ribs, strong.elastic feet.straight legs, standing wall over lots of ground, and never mind the Heads and A good, stronz, beny head.ears well back and a strong jaw are desirable.but any old kind of tail will do.Among the high-class grey-hounds to-day | we see very few of the whip like tails, | which we used to consider the point of alti points.The rules of coursing

services to the game.Those who have charge of the fund have decided to.present to him a handsome service of gold plate.Lord Hawke and his team are now en route to the West Indies on the steamer Don,

Gaudaur\u2019s rejection of his challenge to race for the world\u2019s sculling championship because the challenger\u2019s conditions are not acceptable, mainly on the ground that Gaudaur, as

trying hard to get a race with the new world\u2019s champion, Gaudaur, but have failed.He will not row unless he has everything his own way.He wants the water as smooth as a mirror or no race.I don\u2019t feel like going up and rowing him on Lake Couchiching, his own home water, any more, as I rowed him there once about three vears agp, and was robbed of the race.I think that he will hold the title of champion of the world longer than any man ever did before, for the simple reason that he won\u2019 make a race with anybody on any fair sportsmanlike conditions.I consider the sculling championship of the world buried for many years to come.\u201d INTERESTING CRITICISM, Professor Capper Talks Concerning Christian Architecture and the Italian Churches.Professor Capper delivered another of his interesting lectures on architecture in the Physics building yesterday afternoon, and the storm did not prevent there be- \u2018ng a crowded attendance.The subject was \u201cChristian Architee- ture,\u201d the beginning of which, the lecturer considered, showed retrogression in construction from Byzantine and- Roman ar chitecture.The characteristics of Chris- flan as distinguished from Pagan architecture were explained and illustrated by examples thrown on the screen.The division of the edifices into apse, transept, nave, and atrium was shown by plans and views, and attention was drawn to the practice of raising the altar end.Prof.Capper had some severe condemnation for the architecture of the earlier Italian churches, and made interesting criticisms on the Cathedral at Pisa and its leaning tower, At the next lecture German ecclesiastical architecture will be dealt with.\u2014_\u2014 WANT A SUBSIDY.Ottawa, Jan.29.\u2014(Special).\u2014Mr.Mac- kie, M.P., Thomas Murray

House.Latterly the rule had heen somewhat overlooked, and the result was that the latitude accorded the public soon became an abuse, and the last enquete in the cigarette case capped the climax, for then the room was clouded with smoke, even the Judge was on the bench.SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE ARRESTED.Chief Detective Carpenter's men have set to work to rid the city of the suspicious and dangerous characters who make a livelihood by thieving, and who never do any work.Yesterday and today the officers arvested six men who are considered as suspicious and dangerous, and who, it is alleged, live on the products of robberies.They were arraigned on a charge of vagraney, pleaded not guilty, and were remanded for enquete.Their names are Fred Iranor, .Joseph Costello, Robert Fenton, Edward Conuolly.Henri Page and Hugh Riley.LONGUEUIL'S NEW TAX.There is trouble in Y.ongueuil over a tax on vehicles.Several omnibuses constitute the winter ferry between that fown sna the city, charging five cents a trip, or six for a quarter.This has angered the carters, who charge fifteen cents, and they have been successful in an agitation to have a license fee imposed on their rivals.Ât its last meeting the Council, by a vote of 5 to 2, decided to impose a tax of S2 on each omnibus, but the people of the town do not approve of this, and they will probably hold an indignation meeting shertly to protest.AN INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATE.The Undergraduates Literary Society of McGill University will have their annual inter-collegiate debate with Toronto University to-night in the Molson Hall.The

and there will be no charge for admission.THE CITY AGAIN MULCTED.A judgment for $75 and costs was rendered against the city of Montreal and others this morning by Mr.Justice De- lorimier, in the case

defendants, at the suit of I.A.Drapeau, Lafontaine used streng language to him, and on his remonstrating handed him over to Lieutenant of police Bouthillier, who is also made a defendant, on a charge of creating a disturbance in the City Hall.The case came up in the Recorder\u2019s Court, several times, but as Lafontaine made no appearance it was finally dismissed.Pawette, however, had to pay $20 in costs, and he at once took the present action for £100 damages.The Court gave judgment as above.AN ODDFELLOWS\u2019 RALLY, Successful Entertainment Given in the Place D'Armes Hall Last Evening.Notwithstanding the storm last night, the hall at 3 Place d\u2019Armes was well tilled by Oddfellows and their friends to listen to the very excellent Prog:tumme provided.The chair was taken by the Grand Master of Quebec, James Wilson jt.of this city, and he was supported on either side by the following guests of and Canton Mount Royal, P.M., under whose joiut auspices the affair was managed.A.Philps, D.G.M., of Huntingdon ; George Varey, P.6, où Gore Lodge, Brantford, Out (an Oddfellow of 42 years\u2019 standing aud one of the pioneers in the work in this Province); W.C.Scott, P.G., of Argyle Lodge, Napanee, Ont.; James T.Johns, of Ottawa ; James D.Allen, G.M.of the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows, À.M, Featherstone, Dominion Councillor of Roval Templars ; Thomas Liggett, G M.W.of the A.O.U.W., and others.The musical part of the programme was varticipated in by the following :\u2014 Brothers Freeman, W.Grant, George H.MeLeod and Messrs Drover, F.Dribes, George l\u2019arks and Sheppard ; also the Bell Male Quartette, all of whom gave great satisfaction.The speeches of A.Philps, D.G.M.; W.(.Scott, P.G.; George Varey, P.G.; A.M.leather- stoue,, and Bro.J.T.Johns, were interposed during the course of the programme and were eloquent and interesting.Bro.J.T.Johns, in a very able address of half an hour's duration enlightened those present with much information regarding the work of principles of the order.It was gathered from it that the origin dated back to 1745, although it was not until some year later that they were called Oddfellows, gnd then because they were \u2018odd\u2019 in bringing out and maintaining new ideas for the relief of suffering.The foundation of the Independent Order in the City of Baltimore was accomplished by Bro.Wildey and his four cem- patriots on the 26th April, 1819.\u201cThe history was then traced up to the present time.with membership of 1,060,254 in lodges, 133,357 in the encampment branch and 15.346 in the semi-military branch of the Patriarchs Militant.The total membership in Canada was 35,000, 23.000 of which was in Ontario, this Province having a membership of 2,500.The speaker emphasied the idea that all Oddfellows ought to patronize one another in everything, all things being equal, and dwelt upon the fraternal features, which he il lustrated By references to notable cases of succour by the order The other speakers also related many instances where life had been saved and suffering mitigated by right and justice and mankind hod been lifted up by the car: rving out of the sublime teachings of Odd fellowship.Letters of regret from a number of iu- vited guests were read.expressive of their svimpathy with the aime and orinciples of the order.dae.\u2014l - \u2014 THE HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 18397.T0-MORROW'S HERALD.Tomorrow's Herald will be, we believe, one of the best regular issues ever published by a paper in Montreal.The Saturday newspaper has grown to be more than a vehicle for the day's news; it tur nishes also usually a budget of general reading In this latter respect The Herald is gathering and presenting information and entertainment which has local interest or origin, For example, there will be given in to- Morrow's paper a symposium of autograph opinions sent to The Herald during this week regarding the proposal recently advanced by the Halifax Board of Trade tô extend the Intercolsnial Railway from Levis to Montreal.The opinions are on both sides of the scheme, and accorapany- ing them is a letter from Halifax showing how that city feels about it.The opinions are those of Ministers of the Crown, pro: minent business men, politicians and raul- way investors.The third of Mr.Stewart Lyon's articles explaining the new civic system of Toronto is published.Mr.Lyon\u2019s fitness to write as a municipal expert is unquestioned, and his articles are exciting wide interest in this city by reason of the proposal to give to Montreal a new charter during this year.The third of the articles by The Herald\u2019s municipal authority dealing with the municipal government of Montreal and its needed reforms, both constructive and administrative, accompanies Mr.Lyon's article.The condition of the city makes very timely the discussion of its civic system and methods which will lead to better government.There will be told the adventures of an ex-Confederate colonel after the close oi the American civil war; his escape to Cauada and the efforts made to capture him; the exciting journey of a Montreal Indy in order to bring his wife to him.\u2018This exciting episode in American history has never before been published.and 1s now told by Mrs.M.A.Loring, who was a prominent actor in all the scenes, and is now residing in Montreal.People pro minent in Nova Scotia and New Bruns wick are introduced mto the narrative, which has all the exciting elements of a romance along with the added piquancy which belongs to a true story.The late South African rising is described by a former Canadian, who served with the Salisbury field force in many thrilling engagements.The description is contained in a splendidly written letter to a Montrealer.lt is, however, not mecessary to go through the whole\u2019 table of contents.There will be, among other articles :\u2014 The history and progress of the A.OU.W.being the second in the weekly series of articles dealing with benevolent societies.A descriptive illustrated sketch of Grace Baptist Church, Westmount, with a resume of its history and of the pastor's career, And of course the regular Saturday departments, such as: Books and those who make Them; the Woman\u2019s Page; Mistakes We Make; Hotch Potch; The Herald Junior; Musical Matters; Paul Pry at the theatres; a budget of Letters to the Editor, some of them of more than usual interest; News from the Mother Land; Short Stories and a quantity of carefully selected reading of a miscellaneous character.In the field of news you have only to remember that \u201cyou haven't all the news until you have The Herald.\u201d WILL RULE CUBA.Spanish Minister of War Will Become Governor-General of the Island.More

that Ruis Riviera gave a severe thrashing to Gen.Melguizo near Vinales and inflicted heavy losses, the Spaniards losing 30 dead and SO wounded.[t is stated that when Weyler was marching down Caudela hill, near Guines, six shots were fired on him by some party hidden in bushes near by, wounding a lieutenant and a private at his side.The statement that all sugar estates in Havana ard Matanzas are grinding is not true.Not one estate in either of these sections or any other, as far as known in Havana, 1a grinding, since all cane fields are now on fire.Advices received from Sagua la Grande give shocking details of the doings of the notorious Captain Carreras, of the local guerrillas of the place, who is well known for the part he took in the outrage committed on American citizens last year.On the 16th inst., passing by the town of Mat- jaez, six miles south-east of Nagua.he ordered it burned, and at the same time he arrested and carried off a number of the peaceful citizens of the

Suit.Tribunal Declares They Ceased to Exist When the Downfall of Monarchy Came.london, Jan.29.\u2014\\ despatch to the Dailv Mail, from Paris, says that a non- suit has becn ordered by the civil tribunal in the case of the Duke of Anjou, who sued the present Duke of Urleans for using the royal arms of France.The claim was that the Duke of Anjou was the rightful heir to the throne, as he was the desceni- ant of Louis XIV.According to the despatch received by the Daily Mail, the non-suit was ordered upon the ground that the plaintiff had failed to disprove the claim of Don Carles to be considered the head of the Bourbon partv.It was asserted by the tribunal that the royal arms had ceased to exist with the downfall of monarchy.The judgment fue ther intimated that it Was puerile to expect a Republican tribunal to attempt to try such a question.The Duke of Anjou was ordered to pay the costa \u2014 \u2014 POWELL AND MeINERNEY Two Conservatives Declared Safe in Their Seats, Summons

Curran rendered an interesting judgment this morning in dismissing the action of Dame I.Brisson against Louis P.Lavoie for $1,000 damages.Plain- tifi kept a saloon on St.Catherine Street from 1892 to 1895, but when she came to apply for a license for 1895-6 defendant addressed a protest to the License Commissioners opposing the granting of the license.alleging \u201cthat the plaintiff did not observe the fules for the closing of ber saloon, that the place is one of disorder and scandals, and that she is ur- worthy of getting a license\u201d Plaintif pleaded that these allegations were false and malicious, causing her to be deprived of her license and injuring her reputation.Her saloon had brought her in $5,000 a year, and she claimed $1,000 damages.Defendent pleaded that be had filed the opposition in the exercise of his rights, without malice and with good possible cause, thus doing his duty as a member of the community; that he made no personal attack on the plaintiff or her character, but simply complained of the management of her restaurant; that the allegations of the petition were tie and made in the publie interest.After several specific charges it was alleged that the restaurant had not the facilities required by law, that plaintiff knowingly sold to minors, that games of chance and vocal and instrumental music were allowed, and that the place was kept open after hours, and that the License Commissioners acted independently of defendant.The Court held \u2018that the plaintiff had not been deprived of her license owing to the opposition of the defendant and that the allegations of his plea were true.Therefore the action was dismissed.INDIAN FAMINE FUND.Contributions Come in From All Por tions of Canada\u2014The Swim is Growing.Ottawa,

DESIGNS ON INDIA.Lord Lansdowne, the English Secretary of State for War, is not worrying at pre- fate of the arbitration treaty, or the new little war in Central Africa which he has on his hands.Instead, he has been devoting his powerful mind to ge formulation.of this circular memorandum to general officers commanding : \u201c A report having been received in the department to the effect that it is getting the fashion in some regiments for young officers to shave the upper lip, the Secretary of State for War requests that you will be so good as to take such steps as you may think necessary to insure the provisions of Queen's regulations being adhered to.\u201d The regulation to which his Lordship refers directs all army officers to be clean shaven except as to the upper lip, which must in no case be touched by the razor.Curiously enough, English naval officers are allowed to wear full beards if they choose, but if they shave at all it must be completely\u2014that is, the upper lip as well as the cheeks and chin must be denuded.\u2014_\u2014 SOME FRENCH DUELS.The most prosaic, the most bourgeois of all eminent French statesmen and historians, the late M.Adolphe Thiers, fought a duel when a young man with the trate father of a pretty girl whom Thiers, while anxious to marry, did not wed, because he was too poor to support her.Shots were exchanged without result, and the combatants embraced.The famous journalist and litterateur, M.Emile de Girardin, editor of La Presse, fought four duels in 1834 with the cditors of other Parisian journals, because, the annual subscription of French daily newspapers he- ing at that time at 80f., he bad reduced the price of La Presse hy one-half, with the result that the circulation of his news paper was enormously increased.In the last of these duels he had the misfortune to kill Armand Carrel.a man of talent and a popular idol.Girardin.who was shot in the hip, had lingered between life and death for weeks before he recovered from his wound,and never,in spite of repeated provocations, could be induced to fight another duel.\u201c Dueling.\u201d he said, \u201cis a fault of our education against which our intelligence protests.\u201d But in France you must have killed your man to be able to say that.VOTE OF CONDOLENCE.Montcalm, No.88, of the Independent Order of Foresters, which was held on the

Season, Which Requires Watching.\u2014OF THOSE \u2014~ ring the holiday period, says a con- tomo both this year and last, there have appeared temporary stores where cheap jewellery is auctioned off to the highest bidder fov cash.To one who gives these institutions but a passing thought | they perhaps appear all right, but it an observing man will step inside one of these stores for a few minutes during the aue- tion he will soon become convinced that a confidence game is begs played upon innocent purchasers, and that these institutions should receive the attention of the police.1t is an old saying that you cannot beat \u2018a man at his own game, and this auction \u2018business is no exception to the rule.The proprietors pretend to.sell the goods A gerdless of the prices bid, but without exception there are bunco-steerers in the crowd in the employ of the store, who know the value of the articles exposed for sale, and they bid against the bona fide purchaser until the article is bid high enough for the proprietor to make a handsome profit on it, and then the article is allowed to be knocked down to the legitimate bidder.In this way they never make .a mistake; and it is absolutely impossible for a bargain to be obtained in such a \u2018store, for these bunko steerers prevent that, and bid it in for the store if it is going at too low a price.The whole busi- {ness is based on fraud and deception, and iit is a disgrace to the city that such institutions are allowed to deceive and rob the people.- Legitimate shoppers have a right to \u2018assume that a city government will allow nothing but legitimate business institutions to do business on the principal business street of the city, and no doubt many customers think these fake institutions are all right, else the city would close them up.Legitimate business men also have a right to be protected against the competition of mstitutions which not only decrease the business of regular stores, but which bring no corresponding benefit to the shopper, but which invariably cheat him.FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.Rochester, N.Y., Jan.29.\u2014ITenry Snyder, conductor, of Rochester, and trainman George Craston, were
