promise than the mission of Robert MecAll, and his helpers in France.\u201d It is not the.work of the McAll Mission to found churches.It is undenomina- tional and obtairs its support from all evangelical bodies.To Miss Elizabeth Rodgers Beach is due the honor of rousing the interest of the American nation in this great work.As a result of her efforts the American McAll Association was organized March 29, 1883 at Phila- delpliia, and last year 837.690 was sent to France to help on the good work.A cordial vote of thanks svas tendered Mrs.Graham for her most interesting paper.After remarks had been made by Mrs.Therrien, and Mrs.Madson the meeting was brought to a close with prayer.CENTRAL W.C.T.U.Monthly Meeting Held at Evangelistic Hall Yesterday Afternoon.The regular monthly

the hall ite-lÉ will cost more than £15,000.Some radicals claim that the only title to which Queen Victoria has any claim is that of \u201cMrs.Wettin,\u201d a name even uglier than the \u201cMrs.Dominis\u201d to which Liliuokalani is at present objecting.During the last days of Marie Antoinotte she was referred to as \u201cthe widow Capet.\u201d Twelve women of Fond du Lac last vear started a factory of their own, incorporating themselves under the name of the Fond du Lac Shirt and Overall Company, with a capital stock of $1,200, divid- cd into twelve shares of $100 each.The stock has since been increasel to $2.00 and the company has twenty shareholders, all employed in the factory.The stock was invested in sewing machines and special machinery for making buttom- holes, sewing on buttons and fancy sewing.The power is furnished by a gasoline en- cine.Twenty-five dozen shirts are turned out daily and it is expected that the output will soon be doubled.Only one man, a cutter, is employed in the fac- tery.The following tale is told of how Barney Darnate, the diamond millionaire, came to be married.The foundation stone of his fortune was a prudent purchase of

sub-committee of the Jubilee Memorial Committee was held iu the City all yesterday afternoon.A report was submitted, and after some dis cussion adopted, recommending that the piece of land bounded by St.Dominique street on the west, Market street on the north, Dorchester street on the south, and (Cadieux street on the east, should be ex- | propriated and converted into a public\u2019 square or ornamental garden.It was cs- timated that this scheme would cost $100,- .000.It also recommended that the scheme ! for the establishment of an order of nurses | for outlving districts of the country was practicable and worthy of support, al- | though practical details had not been furnished.The establishment of a permanent ! fund in aid of the various hospitals of the i city, naming particularly the General, | Royal Victoria, Notre Dame and Western, was considered as immediately practicable.This should be on lines similar to the scheme recently organized in London under the patronage of the Prince of \\Wales.MEMORIAL COMMITTEE.The full Jubilee Memorial Committee met after the meeting of the sub-commit- tee yesterday afternoon, to hear a report from the sub-committee as given in ihe report of that meeting, and to draft a report for the General Committee.Mr.(ieorge Hague presided, and among others present were :\u2014His Worship Mayor Wil son-Smith, Charles Chaput, Charles P.He bert, Mr.H, Stikeman, Mr.F.Wolierstar Thomas, Sir William Hingston, Dr.Craik, Chief Justice Lacoste, J.X.Perrault.and J.R.Dougall.A scheme was also presented in comnce- tion with the sub-committee report in favor of the erection of a viceregal residence.This, however, did net meet with the approbation of many of the members of the committee, although vigorously supported by His Worship and Mr.George Hague.Mr.Thomas objected to the proposal, and Mr.J.R.Dougall, in the course of a lengthy address, expressed his disapproval of the scheme of a viceregal residence.In answer to a question, Mr.Hague said that personally he was inclined to favor the scheme.Mr.Charles P.Hebert thought that the hospital scheme would be certainly the most popular.If they tried to raise 3100, 000 or so for a viceregal residence, there was a possibility of failure, whereas by the hospital scheme, supposing only a small amount was collected, it could be used zs the nucleus of a fund which would continually grow and the interest in which would be kept alive.Mr.Stikeman said benevolence should be the keynote of any scheme they might adopt.They should try and help poor people who had been unfortunate and through sickness or from other eauses were unable to help themselves.Mr.Charles Chaput referred to some of the previous speakers being interested in hospitals.He was not, and could speak independently.He strongly favored the viceregal residence scheme, The Mayor in a vigorous speech supported the suggestion of a viceregal residence.Benevolence was the object of the memorial.He had nothing to say against the hospitals, but he believed the greatest benevolence of all to be the giving of work to the unemployed.Here was a means cf giving work to many, including cabmen and dressmakers, and for these and other reasons the viceregal residence scheme should meet with support.The suggestion that Montreal could not raise the money was all trash.The city was well able to support a viceregal residence.Despite any talk that might be heard, he hoped the day would never come when there would be no need for one in this country.This scheme, in his opinion, would not take anything from the hospitals or any other scheme.Supposing they raised a small hospital fund ?Would it be a credit to Montrea|?Many citizens did what they could now annually to support the hospitals, and this should be continued.They wanted some permanent memorial of this Jubilee year that could be looked back upon, something substantial.He hoped this suggestion would be submitted to a mecting of citizens to consider.Further discussion was joined in, among others by Sir William Hingston, Mr.Cha- put and Mr.Hebert, and finally it was decided to recommend the adoption of the schemes named in the reports for the establishment of a hospital fund, the Hotel Dieu being added to the list of those that should share in it.It was also decided that the part referring to the Victorian Order of Nurses be adopted, and that the General Committee be asked to appoint another tommittce of citizens to consider question of a viceregal i : meeting then closed.gal residence.The \u2014\u2014\u2014 Prison Treatment of Drunken Women Among men, as is well known, dri [ rin leads to crime.Among women, however rink itself is the main crime.Not mun more than ten per cent.of the female prison population is accounced for by ot tences against the person or the property of others, the prisons being filled to repletion with chronic female drunkards who are slaves to the vice, and are no sooner discharged from one short sentence than they return again as drunk as ever: and it becomes a very serious question indeed whether prisons are being put to their proper purpose when they are thus used as more or less permanent homes for chronic drunkards.Dr.Pitcairn, assistant surgeon to Holloway Prison, in a paper recently read by him on the prison treatment of inebriates, said that he could noi remember to have met with more than ten or a duzen male drunkards whose convictions exceeded, or even reached, a score, but that ihe records of the police courts conclusively showed that \u201conce a drunkard always a drunkard\u201d was almost an axiom in the case of females.The worst of it 1s thas ¢committal to prison soon ceas:s to have any terrors for these women, or zo bare an et- fect whatever in checx'ag their downward carcer.À prison should az least be à j'ace to dread; but in reality the brisouer finds herself treated with kinduess, is Warmiy clad, fed amply, if plainly, works to a considerably less degree than when at 1b.ertv.and sleens amid znol and sufh-ient bedding in a warmed and ventilated chsm.ber.What 1s there deterrent 1n this, when a woman once has fallen so as not to feel ashamed * The matter is greatly aggravai- ed by the fact that so many of these women are actually ill in consequence of their drinking habits when arrested, and thus they are perforce treated as invalids throughout their entire sentence of \u201chard labor.\u201d The prison thus becomes a hospital for drunkards supported at the public expense.Nothing could be more calculated to bring the law into contempt than such a use of our prison svstem.Much that has been said about the necessity of legislation for inebriates has been founded upon the terrible social evils which acenm- pany the unpunished drunkenness of men: but an equally gond case could be founded on the fact that the punishment of drunken women is turning our prisons into mere drink hospitals.and destroving the deter r nt influence of imprisonment.\u2014The Hospital.Mrs.Frank Redpath.Ontario Arenue, gave a charming aml instructffo entertainment on Saturday afteruoon to à numher of her very young friinds.A short ant friendly talk was prepared and given to the little ones on \u2018Cllld life in Japan.\u201d and some of the beautiful magic lantern slides belonging to Mré.Ames were shown, and much appreciated LY the youthful audience.° ° e Mrs.Dobbin, The Sherbrooke, last of her monthly receptions for tnts season, on Saturday.Thesq receptions have all been of a most brilliant and delightfil nature, and the

ensemble.Over a hundred guests were present, and a most delightful programme of vocal and instrumental musle, dramatic readings and recitations, was .istened to with much pleasure.Among those who contributed were Mr.Herbert Spencer and Miss Lotta Feth- erston, violin, with piano nccompaniment by Miss Russell.Miss Ella Fetherson's the popular English song, \u201cTatters.\u201d Tremaine and Mr.Stewart gave readings and recitations.Mr.Herbert Spencer also played his grand Jubilee March, which has not yet been published.Miss Turnbull gave a planoforte selection with exquisite taste and

Track\u2014Local and General Sporting News.The Jondon Field continues its comments on the admission of foreign crews to the Henley-on-Thames regatta.In its edition of March 20 it says: \u201cInternational Boat Racing at Henley\u2014 The Manitoba Free Press of February 26, states that the Winipeg crew which propose to compete at Henley have reccived an offer from a member of a firm of dis tillers to entertain them while :t the pbove town; but we are also informed, on authority which we have no reason to doubt, that, so far from this offer being spontaneous, it was suggested fron the other side.This looks very much like advertisement No.2, apart from being of an eleemosynary nature, so far as the crew is concerned.\u201clt appears to us that the fact of getting up a putlic subscription to sand men from Manitoba to England 1s of itself elone sufficient to disqualify the crew, even if the latter did not contain mechanics, lumbermen, or what not.Jt is np very different thing when the expenses of a crew are paid by that crew\u2019s own club; but to open a public subseription- es for sufferers from famine or plague\u2014is surely a horse of quite another color, and of itself an absolute disablement.\u201cA correspondent in British North America informs us that there are plenty of genuine amateurs in Canada, and good sportsmen in the English sense of the word, and that, were a crew composed of such men to go over to Henley, no one would be more glad than he to see them successful, but that this affair is quite another thing altogether.He says: \u2018You are opening the door and letting doubtful competitors in, as far as | can sec, partly fromm the sporting instinet of giving an opponent every chance, even a bit more than you will be willing to accept yourselves, and partly, perhaps, from a slight touch of Imperial Federation emotion; but you do not realize the kind of pack who are awaiting to crowd iu.This crew, were they an English and not a Colonial crew, would certainly not be allowed to row at Henley.Would a club which was represented, as was the Winnipeg Rowing Club, by a professional mechanic, (in the Saratoga regatta, where C.J.was rowing in the present crew) be lloyd to become affiliated to the A.R.\u201cThe Manitoba Free Press, in its wrath at the expose, observes that \u2018not the least satisfactory feature which attaches itself to the princely offer of hospitality to tha Winnipeg oarsmen is the well-deserved rebuke which its very expression bestows upon the Field\u2014a journal that at one time stood high in the esteem of sportsmen the world over, but which latterly hus shown signs of decadence and that peevish fault-finding invariably associated with senility.Its strictures on the Winnipeg crew, in which it aliows itself, through the Little England spirit, prejudice or ignorance, or a combination of ell three, to describe them as \u2018foreigners,\u2019 could not possibly have a better answer than the distillers\u2019 recognition of their etatus as British amateur sportsmen, though residents of a distant portion of the Empire\u2019 We have made a careful eearch, but are quite unable to find the word \u2018foreigners\u2019 used in any remarks which we have felt it incumbent on us to offer in this matter.\u201cMeanwhile the Times of Wednesday last, March 17, contains the following Teuter\u2019s telegram, dated Winnipeg, March 5: .\u201c \u2018Owing to statements in the English Sporting newspapers that the members of the Winnipeg crew are unable to conform to the rules of Henley Regatta, the crew will not visit England unless directly invited by the Henley Committee.\u2019 \u201cWe have not forgotten that the St.John, N.B., crew, which competed at the Paris regatta of 1867, as amateurs, and subsequently rowed Renforth\u2019s crew for money, when he collapsed in the race and died, were lumbermen.\u201d CAPTAIN GALTS DEFENCE, Winnipeg.Man., April 5\u2014G.F.Galt captain of the Winnipeg Rowing Club, has written to the editor of the London Field replving to that journal's strictures on the cinb\u2019s four-oared crew.in connection witb their entry for the Stewards\u2019 Cup event at Henlev.In his letter Mr.Galt says: \u201cThe state ment that a member of our crew worked in 2 lumber camp must be inspired by some ene who.from unworthy motives, wishes to prejudice our men in tne cyes of the r gatta authorities.It is quite truc Osborne, who rows No.2, did spend a month or six weeks in a lumber camp, but it is a gross misrepresentation to conyey the idea that he is in any sense a lumberman, artisan, or laborer.lt is not uncommon for Noïng men uf good family iu Canada to obtain situations for limited periods in lumber camps either for the benefit of a complete change, or it may be merely for the novelty of roughing it in the woods Mr.Osborne informs me that some years ago he wus not in good health.and was advised by his physician to try this ex periment.Although h: was employed as inspector, he probably did a certain amount of manual labor, but surely it is absurd to recall such an incident, and endeavor there by to convey the impression that this young man is in any sense & lumberman or a laborer.\u201cIt is quite true a subscription list has been opened for the purpose of defraying the expenses of onr crew, but I do not think this fact has any bearing où the case; nor should it in any way effect the amateur standing of our representatives, Young; men employed in othces cannot afford to travel thousands of miles at their own expamse, and no crew from Canada is Likely to undertake the trip unless some financiai assistance is given.\u201cShould our men go to Henley they will do so entirely from a love of true amateur sport: they have no other object, and if the slightest intimation is given by the proper authorities that their presence at the regatta 18 not desired, or if they thought for a moment that a hearty welcome by their brother oarsmen did not await them in England they would at once give up all idea of taking any part in the regatta.\u201d ROGERS AND GAUDAUR.The Worcester Teelgramn says: Rogers was scen at his home at Lake View last evening, and when shown Gaudaur\u2019s answer said: \u201cI am surprised at the answer, as when Gaudaur and I talked over the probability of my challenging him for the championship sooner or later he said te wanted to row the race on Lake Quinsi- gamond.In asking him to row at Wor cester I only complied with his wish, and realizing that $300 a side was not a large enough stake for a champion to row for I offered $100 for expenses, which would make his possible winnings in reality 2600.Now he says he will not row me at Worcester for less than $1,000 a side, but that the sum of $300 each is large enough if I will go to his backyard at Orillia to row him.He sasy nothing of alowing me expenses.1 have some rights to be considered in making a match as well as he, and will not go to Orillia to race him, for reasons.1 will go to Toronto, which is within 90 miles of Orillia, and make the race for the same terms proposed in Worcester, he to allow me $100 for expenses.Or I will go half way to meet him and row on Silver Lake or any other lake in the central portion of New York under the same conditions, neither giving or taking expenses.In the event of his accepting either of these propositions the date named Ly him, May 24, though very early in the season, will be acceptable to me.Should either of the above propositions meet with his aproval, or should he reconsider his refusal to come to Wor cester on the terms namud, I shall expect him to send articles of agreement to me for my signature, and I will post $100 with the Toronto Globe as a forfeit to bind the match.\u201d Concerning all of which the champion maintains his refusal to go peddling about for a $500 vace.Neither at Toronto nor on any New York State lake, nor at any place but Orillia can Rogers have a race for $500 a side.He tells the Orillia News-Letter that \u201che thinks that in conceding Rogers his own distance aud his own purse he is not unreasonable in asking him to be allowed to name the course.He will allow Rogers $100 for expenses.Of course if any other place is willing to give a purse he would not be unwilling to waive his right to name the course.\u201d The News-Letter says: Orillians, however, intend .donating na purse for the race, so that it is to the interest of the men to row here.lt is intended to hang up %L,000, and one half of this amount has already been raised.Ouvillia can depend on the race for May 24.DORVAL BOATING VULUB.At the annnal meeting of the Dorval Boating Club, S.H.Cass, was elcoted president, and A.J.Grant, secretary.The club\u2019s prospects for this season are particularly bright.TURF AND TRACK.WORK AT THE WOODBINL.Toronto, April 5\u2014-With roses at work on the Woodbine active training for the Untario Jockey Club's meeting neat month may be said to be now well under way.Upwards of fifty horses are quartered in the neighborhood or the track, while half as many more ave located in and around the city receiving their gallops on the toads.The outlook was never so encour- pging for a successful meeting here in point of numbers as well as quality, and the weather too will enable the trainers to pive their charges a cavcful preparation, whereas in other years they have had to rush their horses, so that they never have been able to give as good an account of themselves us will be the case this season.The rain of last night should help the track greatly.It is now in fairly good condition, thanks to Mr.George Briggs, whose efforts the past week have been increasing.The most forward-looking horses now at the Woodbiue are Mr.J.P.Dawes\u2019 lot, which arrive! from Montreal last weck in charge of the veteran cross-country rider, Ben Pope.Though the trainer says they have done but litile work, they are all light in flesh.and look as though they required but little lightening up to send them to the post.lt is to be re- gre'tel that the stable crack, Red Pat, will hardly sport silk at the O.J.C.neet- ing this spring, owing to the accident to his knee at Morris Park last fall.From appearances it would seem that Pope will be very lucky if he gets a clever jumper to the post this season, although a prominent.veterinary surgeon gives it as his opinion that with careful training and time Red Pat will again perform between the flags.The new member of the stable is Defender, a guod-louking brother to Banquet, which Mr.Dawes purchased in New York last fall.Play or Par, who was seen here last fall, will this year trv his luck with the hunters, having been qualified, it is alleged.last fall, while Raval (George, who now looks \u201cft.\u201d will perform \u201cthrough the field\u201d in the open Traces Sleepy Bille hardly looks as weil ar might be.having taken on little

team, no less than three members being called at different intervals to fill that position, Messrs.F.O'Reilly, W.J.MeKenna and M.J.Polan, all of whom were well qualified to discharge their duty.It is, however, a source of danger to have recourse to such proceeding, and the executive and players of the future should endeavor to secure the services of a member of ample leisure.wno, at the opening of the season, would assume the work and carry it on to its close.Turning to the actual work of the team, it is desirable at this juncture, on the eve of another season, to direct your attention to the fact that the players should endeavor to commence their preparations at an earlier stage, and settle down to practical methods.in order to reach a fitness ta resist the strain imposed upon them in the first championship matches.Last vear the team turned out to practice very regularly, but there was a lack of earnestness for a few weeks, and at a later stage the result was very apparent.It is of the utmost importance that cffective and painstaking work should begin with the first, practice.Your committee entered upon the active discharge of its duties determined to add another year to the championship record, but, unfortunately.circum stances occurred at different intervals which rendered it utterly impossible Lo attain that end.The protest of the vornwall Lacrosse Club in connection with the mates on the Ist of July in Cornwall, and the severity oi the decision rendered by the referee of the lust match with the Capitals, were two sources of difficulty which vour executive did not anticipate.and both of which proved disastrous in r-gard to the accomplishment of its desire to capture the championship trophy.lt is unnecessary to here enter into a regital of the facts in connection with these untoward cir cumstances, or to refer {o the manner in which the League finally dispused of them, as you ave familiar wiih all the details, but it is timely to say that the trial of these cases before the Committee of Management of the league made it quite apparent that there is urgent need for a full revision of the constitution and by-laws of that important governing body.Fifteen matches were played during the season, aud your executive received invitations from many cities in the United States and Canada, which they were unable to accept.Among the number may be mentioned Boston, Pittsburg, King ston, Halifax, N.S,.aud Vancouver, B.C.The Toronto Lacrosse Club defaulted in the last match of the season, and your Executive arranged with the Tecumseh Lacrosse Club for the date fixed with the former.RECORD 1836 CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES.\u2014 Goals\u2014 \u2014Games\u2014- Teams.Wou.Lost.Wou.Lost.June 13\u2014Capitals at Ottawa Wi 1 1 T Sept.19\u2014CapHtals a

During ihe month of June last.the President of the Association, Mr.Tobias Butler, having in view the greater offi ciency of the senior team, donated a gold medal to be awarded to the player who attended the greater number of practices, At the close of the season Mr.M.J.Polan captain of the team, reported that Mr, R.S.Kelly was the successful player, and the medal was presented to him at the semi-annual meeting.The whole respectfully submitted.(Signed,) GA CARPENTER.Hon.Sec.Montreal, 5th April, 1897, The report of the \u2019Îreasurer was read, showing that the financial results were very satisfactory.The meeting then proceeded to discuss the amendments to the constitution and by-laws, and very wisely adopted several of the amendments, which will have the immediate effect of centralizing the work of the Senior Club and the Association in a manner which will be productive of very important results.The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: Honorary president, William Stafford.re-clected; president, John Hoobin; first vice-president.kd.Quinn; second vice-president, T.O\u2019Con- nell; hon.secretary, Janes McKenna; asst.hon.secretary, R.8S.Kelly.The installation followed, and each of the newly elected officers delivered speeches.During the evening Mr.John Ross, of the Tecumseh J.acrosse Club, was introduced by the chairman and was warmly greeted.Mr.Ross delivered a neat speech, thanking the members for the kind reception accorded to him.He said he did not come to the meeting in any official capacity.He referred to the efforts of the Tecumsehs to awaken a new interest in the national game in the west, and said that the club had made an application for admission to the Senior League, and ir it was not accepted 1t would simply mean that the Tecumsehs would cease to exist.lle repeated his former statement that he was only present as an old lacrosse player, anxious to behold a strong teams in the lacrosse arena, and anything he said had no official sanction whatever.CORNWALL REORGAXNIZES.Cornwall Ont., April 3\u2014The annual meeting of the Cornwall Lacrosse Club, which was held iu McDonald's Hall tonight, was one of the largest in point of attendance ever held heve.About one lundred enthusiasts were present, and, judging by the number of prominent citizens who were on hand, it is evident that a determined effort will be made to bring the senior championship of the world to Cornwall this season.Mr.D.Munroe, the retiring president, in his address, expressed regret that the players had not turned out earlier last season, as it was due to this fact, that the failure to win the championship was largely due.During the latter part of the season, when Cornwall men got into good condition, they defeated both the Capitals aud the Shamrocks.He felt sure that the players were well aware of their mistake last year and that ti would not be repeated.The reports showed the fi nances of the club to Le in a good condition.Mr.Mandyside Black, who has been trea- purer of the club for a number of years, and Mr.Maleolm Macpherson, who haa been seeretary for a couple of seasons, were earch presented with valuable gold rings.accompanied by addresses express ing the club's appreciation of their wer vices.The rings are of solid gold, and very heavy, and have a couple of lacrosses and the initials \u201cC.L.C.,\u201d\" raised on them.Inside is a suitable inscription: The election of officers resulted as fol lows: Ton.president, Lieut.-Col.R.R.McLennan, JM.P.: hon.first vice-presi- dente, Frank

C.P.Rand G.T.R.in reference to the transportation of wheels to and from the annual meet on July 1.Meretofore wheels have been carried free, but a fee is now levied on all bicycles on ordinary occasions and the roads have not ye: signified their intention in regard to the coming meet.¥ the request for free (transportation, submitted yesterday by.Mr.Webster, is refused, it will stremgthen the vote in favor of the proposition to be made at the Good Friday meeting in Toronto, to hold provincial or district meets on Juiy 1.The winners of these events to meet on Labor Day in some eentral city.CYCLING NOTES.The question of the hour\u2014Where will the meet go ?The Perth and Portsmouth Clubs have assured Chatham of their support.Kingston wheelmen are said to have a leaning towards Chatham for the C.W.A.meet.Brantford is making up ground at a great rate in the struggle for the Dominion Day plum.The Illinois wheelmen were unsuccessful in their endeavors to have a bicycle baggage bill passed.There will be no troublesome racing question to bother the C.W.A.parliamentarians this year.The scrap for the meet has assumed un- looked-for proportions, and now there is a prospect of a hot time at the C.W.A.convention.The report comes from Minneapolis that Johnnie Johnson has rebelled against riding under Eck\u2019s management again this year, and that he has refused to sign a contract with the Spalding team.The New Jersey Legislature has passed the bicvele baggage bill, which in every essential detail is similar to the Armstrong bill, which is the title of the act now in force in New York Btate.It provides that bicycles shall be carried as personal baggage on all railroads in the State when accompanied by their owners, The gear case craze, which has struck several cities in the States, has not reached Toronto.The advantages of a chain protection of this sort are appreciated by the great majority of the riders, but they do not care to sacrifice the appearance of their wheels in order co insure au easier running mount and a clean chain.Efforts are being made to arrange a se- rics of match races between Coulter, the one-mile unpaced champion: Becker, the five-mile champion; and Hackenberger, the twenty-five-mile chamyion, to be held in Denver the latter part of June.It is pro posed to have one race at one mile, an other at two miles, and a third, if neces sary, at five miles.The Racing Board ot the L.A.W.will be required to go on record for or against Sunday racing within a few days.Chair man Albert Mott has received an applica: tion from H.C.Fourton of New Orleans for a sanction for a race meet to be held at the Crescent City on Sunday, April 11th Mr.Fourton states iin his letter that the Sunday racing element of the Western States know of his action, and intimates that the move is in the nature of a test case.Chairman Mott savs he will an nounce the decision of the board early next | week.The undersigned wants the puhlie and Herald readers to remove his present stock to their homes before the first of May or after, viz., pictures, picture frames fancy goods, books, stationery.wall-paper.baby carriages, express waggons and
