that the treaties had been denounced caused all the greater sensa- \u2018tion, though it is believed that official circles had full knowledge of the matter, and that King Leopold of Belgium during his recent visit to Kiel, exchanged views with the Emperor.The event lends great interest to the attitude of the Government towards the agrariaæs, who will seize the chance to demand that a tariff war with England be waged, as they have already demanded with regard to the \u2018United States.An article published in the Hamburgische Correspondent seems to indicate that the Government is not in favor of a war in the tariffs.Various Berlin papers print comments upon the action of Great Britain in denouncing the treaties.The Freisinnige- Zeitung, the organ of Herr Richter, the Radical leader, expresses great surprise, but otherwise contents itself with indicating the bearings of the question, noting that to England amounted to 19 per cent.of her total ex- in 1895 Germany\u2019s exports

this morning again compliments Canada and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian premier, on paving the way for a further consolidation of the Empire, and expresses the hope that \u2018the friends of the Empire will not be angry enough to refuse to negotiate another treaty, If, unhappily, they should do so they may rest assured that the deprivation will be borne with fortitude.British exports to Germany were never large and have increased very little in the past forty years.Even if Germany should retaliate by increasing her duties Great Pri- tain must regard it as a moderate price to pay for

Hochelaga Mechanic Will Shortly Start for the Yukon Gold Fields.THE PLAIN TRUTH TOLD.Inspector Strickland Denies Some of the Sensational Yarns which Have Been Put =~ in Circulation.\u201cOff for Alaska are you Mr.Galloway-?\u201d f + \u201cYes,\u201d replied a good-looking young man of two and twenty.\u201cTuesday 1 shake the \u2018dust and mud of Montreal from my feet, \u2018and, if all goes well, expect to be tramp- \\ ing in gold dust before many weeks are \u201cpast.\u201d The man who spoke was Douglas \u2018Galloway, a machinist, who, for the past \u2018year thas been working in the C.P.R.\u2018shops at Hochelaga, He is a shréwd and determined-looking young Scotchman hailing from Hawick, Roxburghshire.He came ito Montreal about a year ago and after varying fortunes secured a job as fitter in Mr.Pitts\u2019 department of the C.P.RE.\u2018shops.He joined the Mount Royal Lodge, ; International Association of Machinists, \u2018and soon became a great favorite with i Master Machinist Fred Newman, Mr.T.{ Barley and the machinists im general.© Are you bound right for the Klondike ?\\ queried the reporter, \u201cOh, no;\u201d said the young man, twirling his budding moustache, \u201cnot, this summer \"ab any rate.You know, my brother \u2018Jim,\u2019 is an cngineer in the employ of the Tread- \u2018mill Gold Mining Company om Douglas Island.He thas been writing me to come \u2018out for a year or more, and so I have at \u2018last decided to go.He writes that the wages thero are from $2.50 to $4 a day with board, and that is a big inducement \u2018to a man working in Montreal for a \"dollar and, fraction, and boarding himself.Now, I don't expect a feather bed or \u2018roast chicken out there, but I am ready \u2018to take things as I find them.My brother esys tho winter is fearful and a man cannot get enough clothes on him, but I guess I will be able \u2018to stand the cold as well as ithe rest of them.\u201d | \u2018What sort of a place is Douglas Island \u2018did you ask ?\u201d \u201cWell, I believe it is a 1 4 \u201c \u2018 { ( small island seven miles in width, about \u2018three miles from Juneau, and about 700 miles from Klondike.It belongs to the \u2018United States.The mines on it pay very well.Douglas Island City, is the name of the largesd town, but it is rather a emall city I am afraid.My brother writes that a hundred miners sleep in one house.There is plenty of work, however, and he has only been off two days in a year.Steamers, I believe, call here at all times of the year\u2014at least I got letters from \u2018Jim the year ronppd\u2014amd of course it is not \u2018such an outlandish place as the Yukon.\u201d PEACEFUL AND LAW ABIDING.\u201cThe men of Douglas Island City are more peaceful and law abiding than the rough miners of the Juneau, but here as elsewhere, the casual ruction will.rise and somebody gets hurt.Jim writes some stories of men getting their ears cut off, aud shot, and stabbed in rows.Such \"things, however, are not of very frequent occurrence.It is generally too cold to use a gun.À number of United States gunboats patrol the islands hercabout during à part of the year, and manage to preserve pretty good order.One gunboat had a high old time chasing a fellow who had stabbed a man in 4 brawl, and it was not till after they had chased the man hundreds of miles along the coast that they caught him.\u201cWell, about the Yukon?Jim hasn't been up there, but he has written me something about the piace.Ie says the miners there can only work two months during the whole year.In the early spring the miners in coinpanies of four or five, start out with a dog team loaded with provisions, When they come to a lake or river they have to build a raft and ferry themselves across.Travelling is awfully tedious and dangerous.Arriving at the diggings they start prospecting.Sometimes they strike it rich; sometimes they don\u2019t.Occasionally a party gets short of provisions and then other parties share theirs with the unfortunates.Again, in some diggings & man.of each party hag to kecp watch every night to prevent other parties from coming into their camp and robbing them oF whatever gold they have secured.When the early winter returns, the miners set out for Juneau.Sometimes they come back rich; sometimes they don\u2019t; and sometimes whole companies got lost and r= There is a popular misconception to the effect that y, corpulent people are healthy ¥ people.In a large percent- wy age of cases this is a mistake.Corpulent people suffer from ill- health just as much, bx and sometimes more than thin people.Like thin people they suffer from illnesses A and disorders that are caused by indigestion and torpidity of the liver.There is a sure and speedy remedy for ills of this description.Itis Doctor Pierce\u2019s Golden Medical Discovery.Thousands of corpulent people who need this medicine have failed to take it because of its world-wide reputation as a blood-maker and flesh-builder.They imagine because it has an established reputation for building up the flesh and strengthening emaciated people, that it will make corpulent people more corpulent.\u2018This is a misconception.The \u2018Golden Medical Discovery\u2019 builds firm, healthy flesh but does not raise the weight above a natural normal figure.Unlike cod liver oil, it does not make soft, flabby flesh, It builds solid, healthy flesh but tears down and excretes the weak, half-dead tissues that constitute corpulency.It makes the appetite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and the nerves steady.It , cures all blood and skin diseases.An honest dealer will not offer a worthless substitute for the sake of extra profit.\u2018I got a cancer .on my tongue and had it cut out,\u201d\u2019 writes Peter J.Kroeker, of Inman, McPherson Co., Kans.I consulted fifteen different puysicians without deriving any benefit.At last turned to Dr.Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- ery.I presisted in its use and my health is better than ever before.Formerly every accidental wound I received would fester and would not are never heard of afterwards.Getting back to Juneau the successful miners \u2018blow in\u2019 their \u2018stuff,\u2019 and the unccess- ful \u2018hang out\u201d the ten months of winter as best they may.A few of the miners return to civilization with their gold, but, certainly, a very few, There are too many saloons and ways of getting clear of gold in Juncau.SCURVY IS FREQUENT.:-{{ \u201cScurvy among the miners is frequent, and is more dreaded than the cold.À friend of my brother\u2019s struck it rich, but he got the scurvy and had to go to an hospital and spent all his money in getting cured.\u201cNo, sir, I am not going to try the Yukon yet a while.I will try working by the day at Douglas Island for the summer and winter.Machinists get from $3 to $4 a day and board, which is better than the uncertainty of digging for gold in that land vf the Frost-King.However, when I have saved up a little money and get to know something about the country, I intend to try my luck.There is nothing like trying, you know, and fortune may smile on me.3ut if she don\u2019t I won\u2019t be greatly disappointed.It is not with any very sanguine expectations of making a \u2018pot of gold\u2019 that I go out there, but simply

charts of the country of cold and gold.At some of the tables can be seen most of the time groups of men poring over these maps and carrying on animated conversations in low undertones about the new Eldorado.Po Librarian FF.H.Hild said this morning: \u201cIt is surprising to note how many persons have gotten up an interest in that far-away land.I went to the shelf the other day to get a book upon Alaska, and there was not one to be found.\u201cThere is not a great deal of authentic information regarding the country printed in the United States.An Englishman was in here this morning who had a copy of a report of William Ogilvie, printed by the department of the interior of Canada, which contained much valuabe information.It contained half-tone photographic reproductions illustrating points of interest in the Klondike and seemed to be a very full report.I know of nething gotten up by the United States Government that begins to compare with this, and have sent to Canada for copies.\u201cIt looks as though Canada had been wide-awake in this matter and was going to reap most of the rewards.In laying down the boundary line between Canadian territory and that of the United

the reporter, as he parted with the only man in Montreal who has yet made up his mind to brave the hardships and dangers of cold and bare Alaska.= ny A QUEBEC KLONDIKE, A Discovery of Gold Reported from the Magog District.Magog, July 31.\u2014(Special.)\u2014There has heen no end of excitement in Magog and district the past week owing to a very considerable find of gold at Hatley.It appears that there are mines, owned bv an English company, on the shores of Lake Massawippi.and that some Montreal tourists, at present staying in the neighborhood.hava been combining business with pleasure by washing for the precious metal in a small stream running through the company\u2019s property.Ome young man from Westmount has during the last three weeks, it is said, secured no less than $1,200 worth of gold.A number of experts have arrived on the scene, for it stands to reason that if the contiguous land is so rich, the mines must be well worth opening out and developing.Is this a local Klondike?MR.OGILVIES REPORT, \u2014\u2014 Americans Think It Contains the Best Information Obtainable.Chicago, July 30.\u2014Many persons who had expected to sail for Alaska August 20 or 30, will be disappointed, for the North American Transportation and Trading Company has received word from Seattle of another postponement, fixing the date of departure at September 10.This will make it so late, that extra precautions will have to be taken in case ol a freeze-up before St.Michael\u2019s is reached, or should the river be frozen beyond navigation after this port is made.An additional privilege

Some Strange Stories.Winnipez, Man, July 31.\u2014Inspector Strickland, of the North West Mounted Police, who has just returned from the 3 whom, arrived from the west with Mrs, Strickland, They proceed east to-mor- TOW.To a reporter Mr.Strickland spoke at length of the country that is now caus ing such a sensation Regarding the best route to reach the Klondike, he said that he would advise a poor man to go by Dyea and the Chilcoot Pass, The season is now getting late and he would not advise anyone to start now, as no one would have time to pack the amount of provisions he would need over the summit.Befor: he could do it the river would be frozen up.Last year it froze at the first of October, but it does not generally freeze until the middle of October.It is hard to get into the country, and anyone who goes there must be prepared to go through some rough experiences.There is plenty of gold, but it is not lying around waiting for anyone to pick it up.It is gotten only by hard work.| Regarding misrepresentations about the country, Mr.Strickland said he had recently read an article signed Frank Moss, that had heen used extensively in the papers.The writer clearly showed, he said, that \u2018he was never in the country.For instance, he said that 2,000 people had died in the Klondike last year, while up to last year there were not 2,000 people im the whole country.Moss made the statement that Klondike was a huge sink surrcunded by mountains 3,000 feet high.This is not correct, as the country is just the same as any mountainous district.Another statement that there is a colony of Bohemian convicts there is totally untrue The country is a very law-abiding one.No nugget of the reputed size was found in the Klondike; and there is no such place as the one the writer of the article stated the nugget was fund at.In many ways, Mr.Strickland said, the country is grossly misrepresented.The Klondike is, undoubtedly, he said, the.largest placer inining region in the world, and, at the same time, the richest.There are a great many people now going into the country and the claims were being taken rapidly, but there is yet any amount of room for everybody.Concerning the length of time required to reach the country, Mr.Strickland said that anyone contemplating going from here should leave at the 1st of March, buy their provisions at the coast, and have enough dollars left over for incidental expenses along the route; freight the stuff to Dyea; pack it over the summit, and get down to the feot of the lake on the ice.Here lumber would be taken and boats built.By that time the ice would Inspector be cut and the boats can float down the river, reaching Klondike about the 20th teen tons provisions.CUVSVASS AUSSI Ci This can he cut out and forwarded to

of endurance, a cool head, and absolute freedom from domestic ties, together with about $1,000 in hard cash, he can probably make a fortune by getting to the Klondike the opinion of the veteran gold hunters.The average Canadian, however, is unable to avail himself of this apparent opportunity of a lifetime, for many reasons.Not a few of our citizens are considering the advisability of clubbing together to equip parties of reliable men to make the arduous journey to Alaska, and await results at home.But for the difficulty of obtaining the services of trustworthy men, no doubt this plan would uttract more investors than it already has.Obviously, a gcld mining company having already in its service a corps of experienced and trustworthy prospectors is in a splendid position to make a successful expedition to the gold regions.The Montreal London Gold and Silver Development Co., Limited, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in to-day\u2019s Herald, which was formed some months ago, and has among its directors and shareholders some of the mogt prominent business and profesisonal men of Canada, is in such a position today.Its operations in British Columbia and the Ontario gold regions have been highly successful in the short time since its formation, and without losing any time, or interfering with its regular work of explciting the other gold bearing regions of Canada, it

Baptiste Club will be held to-day weather permiting.The steamer Hosanna broke down on Tuesday, and she was unable to make her regular trips, but she was all right ednesdsy morning.The bicycle races announced for Saturday 24th, did not come off, to the great disappointment of many.The great storm of rain the night before, so spoiled the track that the committee in charge decided to postpone the meet till to-day when it is hoped more favorable weather will be had.- Trial races were held on Thursday evening, 22nd, at the Club House, in view of the trial regatta to be held on the following Saturday.The committee were very much encouraged by the eagerness with which the boys responded to the call for entries.The difficulty was not the lack of contestants, but arranging the handicaps, the committee being anxious to bring out the small boys as well as the larger, and it was a sight worth seeing the way these fellows tackled their work, giving good promise for the success of Saturday\u2019s regatta.The regular meeting of the Ladies\u2019 Guild of St.Mark\u2019s Episcopal Church was held on Thursday, 22nd, at the rectory to re- celve a report of the Garden Party held on July 8th, and other business.The meeting Was not so large as usual, so many ladies being out of town, but the report was very satisfactory financially, and it was proposed to have another one at an early date, and for further discussion on this subject à special meeting was called for Thursday evening (the 20th) this week at the rectory.The lawn tennis match between West- mount and Longueuil, was played on the grounds of the iatter on Saturday, the honors of the day being taken by the former, The weather which looked so doubtful in the morning\u2014cleared up most beautifuily in the afternoon and the courts were in fair order, notwithstanding the vain the night before.The games were well contested all through but Westmount \u2014or rather Cote St.Antoine as they insisted on being called-was too many for Longueuil.The latter will require to give more heed to practice, which is all that is required to show better resuits, for they have the material there, if they would only use it better.The following was ithe result.Singles\u2014P.Mackenzie, beat H.B.Peiler, 6\u20142, 6\u20143; A.Maec- donald beat S.F.P.Aldrich, 6\u20144, 6\u20142; C.W.Yarker, beat A.Saunderson, 6\u20142, 6\u20143; W.B.Hamilton, beat C.Harrod, 6\u20141, 7\u20143.Doubles \u2014Mackenzie and Yarker beat Peiler and Aldrich, 6\u20140, 6\u20144; Hamilton and Macdonald beat Harrod and Saunderson, 6\u20141, 6\u20143.The Longueuil trial regatta was a great success, and did great credit to all concerned.The committee evidently worked hard to make it a success and were much encouraged by the apparent revival of the sporting spirit manifested by the contestants.It was really a gala day for Longueuil, and reminded one of former times.The day\u2019s proceedings were concluded by *the usual hop in honor of the occasion, and was attended by a large number of people.Much interest was taken in the proceedings as it was announced that the prizes were to te distributed to the successful con peiitors.Mr.John Hamilton, the gen- eval president of the club, briefly announe- ed the object of these trial regattas and the desire of the committee to encourage as much as possible the sporting spins and the prizes were given as a memento to mark the event and encourage the boys to greater efforts for the good of the whole club.The prizes were very quietly and gracefully handed to the successful competitors by Mrs.F.Blaikie\u2014wife of the vice-president.To add to the sue- cess of the evening, some friends of the club made a fine display of fireworks which was much appreciated.The ladies of the B.C.H.had ice cream on.jhand for those who cared for it and the dancing was well sustained.Mr.Grant .again presided at the piano in the absence of Mr.Smith\u2014who is on a holiday.Amoñg those present were: Mr.John Hamilton, president and the Misses Hamilton, (3): Mr.and Mrs.Thomas Blaikie, Mr.and rs.C.J.Harroer, the Misses Moffatt, Mrs.\u2018Carmicael, Mr.Arthur and the Misses Carmicharzl, Mr.James and Miss McClure, Mr.and Mrs.A.H.Thompson, Mr.G.A.McColl, Mr.A.C.Hamilton, Mr.Stearns, Mr.and Mrs.F.Matthews, Miss McColl, Miss Mountain, Miss Winnie Stephens, Miss Wurte'le,

and Len Marcou, Messrs.Edwin and Joseph Hurtubise, George Gadsley, Don Russell and many others.Very few of the present members of the Longueuil Boating Club know anything of its inception or of the various stages of its development.Strangers and visitors to the town often display interest in these matters and ask questions which have to remain unanswered, A few facts which we have gathered in this connection may therefore be acceptable.Some thirty years ago, contemporaneously with the confederation of the Canadian Provinces, the club came into existence, The late Capt.Lesperance became the first president, and for three or four years all went well.In the spring of 1869 a floating boat house, which consisted of a scow 12 x 50 feet, with a house erected upon it 20 x 50, 16 Ligh, was completed at a cost of $664.91, and placed in the river.This floating club house was connected with the shore by booms to which members could make tast their boats.The club found itself financially crippled in 1870, partly owing to heavy expenditure and partly from the rivalry of the St.Lawrence Boating Club, which had sprung into existence in the village.Pursuant of a notice dated June 1st, 1871, a big mesting of all interested in boating was held in the Montarville Hotel on June 3rd, at which an amalgamation of the two separate clubs was successfully effected.The first president of the newly organized club was Dr.Charles Brewster, the well-known dentist.In this year the Longueuil Club reached the zenith of its success and undertook a regatta on a very extensive scale.The three famous four.oared crews known as the \u201cBarton,\u201d the \u201cTaylor-Winship\u201d\u201d and the \u201cRenforth\u201d crews contested for supremacy together with a first prize of $1,000, a second of 2950.The race was won by the first mentioned crew over a five mile course, with turn, in 33 min.and 10 sec.official time taken by Mr.F.Fenton, the then chief of police.For a number of years the boat club affairs flourished.One season races were held every Saturday afternoon during the summer.and for several years they were held fortnightly.\u201cBoat meets\u201d (illuminated) were frequently held to St.Helen\u2019s Island and \u201cThe Grove,\u201d Boucher ville road, and moonlight excursions were often indulged in.In 1877 the organization of the Montreal Yacht Club drew so heavily upon the beat club\u2019s membership, hv absorbing all those who were specially interested in sailing, that gradually the latter club dwindled to a mere shadow of its former self and the climax came in 1881 when on September 8th the committee decided to =ell the club\u2019s property by auction.For the next four years the Boat Club lay dormant, but on March 30th, 1886, it was re-organized and during the past ten years has gradually grown to its present ttafus of stability and prosperity.The club house at first used was a shanty obtained from the extinet Longueuil Toboggan Club and the site was that now occupied by Mr.J.E.Mullin\u2019s handsome residence.A new club house, unpreten- t:ously built in sections, was opened in July, 1887, and enlarged the following year.In the spring of 1889 the club house was placed upon the fine site under \u201cThe Eims\u201d above the wharves through the courtesy of the late William Notman, Esq.Application for incorporation under the Revised Statutes No.5487 was made on May 10, 1892, and granted later in the season.In the fall oï 1694 two lots (cadastral No.155, sections 91-92) were purchased from the Grand Trunk Co., and before July 1st, 1805, the present handsome and capacious club house was completed and opened with a grand bazaar on July 4th, which continued for three days.The recent history of the Longueuil Boating Club is too well-known to need repetition.There is every prospect of a successful future in store for this popular organization.THREE RIVERS.Prof.Messenger is spending some time at the Methodist

is abroad.He has destroyed the story of William Tell; he has made us fear that Joan of Arc was but a myth, and now\u2014in the guise of that mild- mannered, deeplyread archagologist of Quebec, M.Ernest Gagnon\u2014he comes to raze Chateau Bigot to the ground\u2014and with it half the charm of Kirby's story, end all the interest that has for years attached itself to that pile of stones in Charlesbourg, which all the world has considered represented the remains of the famous manor house of Beaumanoir For onc-and-twenty years M.Gagnon has been secretary of the Public Works Department of this Province.Before that he was organist at the Basilica in Quebec.He is a litterateur, an artist and a musician\u2014and during the past score of years has managed to find leisure to write numerous books, to compose music for many songs\u2014and to publish both books and music.His literary tasteg inôline in .the direction \u2018of history, and even now he is engaged on a brochure which will tell the tale of the Quebec Court House of today, and of its predecessors, and which will find a publisher in the person of the Minister of Public Works, who will include it in his next annual report.M.Gagnon it is who has come to the conclusion that historical fidelity demands the destruction of the Chateau Bigot, although he would throw the responsibility for the sacreligious act on his friend, Abbe Cas- grain.\u201d No doubt they are equally guilty, for M.Gagnon asserts that they both are gatisfied that there was never such a Chateau, and consequently mo Caroline, no stone, and mo letter \u201cC\u201d carved upon the stone.These gentlemen have sought diligently in Canadian archives for any reference to a chateau owned by the Intendant Bigot, and found none.Abbe Casgrain has searched the musty records of the family of Levis, in France, and found no mention of such a house.How, then, came there so deep-rooted a tradition that there was a Chateau Bigot?M.Gagnon\u2019s explanation is this: There is a record that a member of the family of the great Intendant Talon\u2014presumably a nephew\u2014sold a house bnilt by Talon to a later Intendant\u2014one Michel Begon, who was the Intendant of Nouvelle France in 1712.Begon, while a good servant of the king, was not a man \u2018to dwell long in the memory of the simple habitants.Bigot, with his tyranny, his exactions, his Friponne, was.M.' Gagnon, therefore, thinks that a chateau, built by Talon, bought by Begon, and called for a time Chateau Be- gon, quickly came to be called Chateau Bigot, once the name of the last Intendant of feudal France filled all men\u2019s ears and.was on all men\u2019s tongues, This explanation appears to be reasonable.Talon, for his services to the king, was \u2018created by Louis XIV.Baron des Tlets, and granted a domain east of the St.Charles, embracing some small islands forming the delta of the St.Charles river.Later, his domain was enlarged to include what was afterwards for many years known as the County of Orsainville and he was made the Count d\u2019Orsainville.It is altogether probable that Talon built himself a seignorial manor, and that this manor was what in later times became known as \u201cChateau Bigot.\u201d The fact that Talon\u2019s descendants sold a house of his to Begon is related in the memoirs of the Levis family, Another gentleman who may be classed with the dconoclasts is Mr.Thomas O\u2019Leary, assistant librarian of the Chateau de Ramezay, who was at one time a resident of Quebec, and takes a lively interest in all that pertains to its historic past.Mr.O'Leary agrees with Messrs.Casgrain and Gagnon in their opinion that Kirby\u2019s Chateau Bigot is apocryphal, and he goes the length of denying the historical accuracy of many of the incidents recorded in the chronicles of the Golden Dog.For instance, the imurder of Philibert by Repentigney, while not a fable, was occasiomed, it is said, by the billeting of soldiers on Philibert.That the latter designed and erected the sign pf the Golden Dog, with its mysterious legend, as a menace to Bigot, is disprove:l by the fact that the sign existed in 1736, =fore DBigot\u2019s reign began.Mr.O'Leary has discovered in a painting of part of the old Lower Town a sign, over a building, which greatly resembles the Chiem d'Or, and he deems it quite possible that the sign was carried up town, perhaps after the conquest, and used over a tavern.The house in which Angelique Meloise lived still stands.The elder Philibert bougiit or built a country house on the St.Foy road, vlhich\u2014strangely enough\u2014was afterwards pccupied by Bigot.It is now tenanted by Dr.Mackay.During the siege the ladies of Quebec resorted for safety to Beau- manoir, and for years afterwards a legend their jewellery in the vicinity.In consequence the ground was dug over time and again.The Chateau, in the early part of this century, was the rendezvous of the \u2018\u201cBéristealk Club,\u201d and was afterwards known as \u201cThe Barns.\u201d Its final destruction is attributed to the torch of an incendiary, and all that now remains is a heap of blackened stones, in danger of speedy disappearance from the vegetation that year by year presses closer its green parallels.; The Moncton Transcript says: \u201cTHe Montreal Star is the most striking example of political inconsistency which it is possible to find.In a recent issue it editorially said: \u2018Never did a political party so much deserve\u2014never did a polifi- cal party so much need a

using every effort in the same direction.It should practice the precept set forth above and not content itself with mere verbal expression.\u201d Speaking at Shawville, during the election campaign, Mr.Marchand said: \u2018Li I am called to power by the verdict of the people we will practice real economy.We Will cut off the dead branches, discharge all useless employes, refuse all gratuities or bonuses, until we shall have established a real surplus.\u201d There is evidence that Mr.Marchand and his colleagues are ful- tilling this pledge.The railway promoter and the subsidy-hunter are being courteous ly shown the door.T& Monde (Conservative), says: \u201cThe Montreal Herald has with much justness and truth repelled the recent attacks of the fanatical press of Ontario against the

It is Completely Isolated, and the Bquip- ment Throughout Will be Jomplete.rename Tt is not often that proprietors go to the trouble and expense of erecting a building for a definite purpose and at the same time sincerely entertain the wish that the house will not be used when completed.Yet this may be truthfully said of the Westmcunt authorities, who are busily engaged in the erection of an emergency hospital.High up on the possibility of draughts upon the cots for ten patients which are to be provided.The ceiling will be 12 feet high, and linen press, medicine cupboard and special closets will be furnished.Strong solutions of creosene will be prepared to immediately deaden every bit of refuse, and every possibility of the disease will be shut off.The location could not be more beautifully isolated, and the build ing is only obscurely discernible among many trees, Dr.Hutchinson said last evening that a competent staff would be on hand, and the best attention money could procure or medical science contribute would be afforded.Everyone in the town joins in the hope that the new building on the mountain side will remain untenanted, and that Master Irving will be the beginning and the ending of the scare.Mr.A.Robertson, road master, has supervised the construction, and deserves every credit for his expeditious efforts.LAPRAIRIE BOAT.A PROJECT TO ALTER THE SERVICE TO MONTREAL, So as to Increase the Number of Trips and Call at Point St.Charles.! } Le Prix Courant says there is a project to modify the route of the steamboat service between Laprairie and Montreal.At present the farmers who use the boat, are obliged to come to Montreal the night be- tore tixe marlet opens, in order to be in time with their produce.The present service only allows four or five trips a day.be return trip, with cart, costs one dol- ar, Mr.A.Racine, wholesale dealer, proposes not to abandon the Bonsecours wharf to which the steamer now comes, but to establish a double service and have the steamer Laprairie make alternate trips from La- prairie to Bonsecours wharf and Point St.Charles, thus serving the east and west ends of the city without any increased cost.Thus, Mr.Racine believes, instead of four or five, eight or ten trips between Montreal and Laprairie might be made daily.Farmers would be no longer obliged to set out from their homes.the night before market day.Montrealers would have their vegetables fresher, and the improved gervice would also be a boon to summer residents.These are some of the advantages claimed for Mr.Racine\u2019s pro ject.NEW

there is no longer rivalry; there is only emulation.And 1 must do this justice to iy fellow countrymen of English origin that our mational pride as descendants of France is by them understood, appreciated and admired, and that they have on that account only more respect for us.Of nur old quarrels there remains to us, descendants of France, one relic which we preserve with a passionate love.It is a flag of France, not of the France of to-day, but of the ancient monarchy.There exists among us a tradition, carefully preserved, that this flag floated victoriously one whole day on the ramparts of Carillon, when the Marquis of Montealm there repulsed the repeated assaults of the English army.This flag which recalls a French victory is borne solemnly by us in our religious ceremonies, in our patriotic.processions, and never have our fellow countrymen of English origin dreamt of being offended at it or making it a subject for reproach.If that is not fraternity, gentlemen, what is fraternity?HAVE PRESERVED THEIR RIGHTS.\u201cIf, by becoming subjects of the English crown, we have known how to preserve our old rights and even to acquire new ones, on the other hand we have contracted obligations which, descendants of a knightly race, we know fully how to recognize, and which we hold it a peint of honor to proclaim, \u201cPr myself I \"hesitate not to declare, speaking here for my compatriots, as I believe I have the right, that on political grounds and out of gratitude, I am profoundly attached to British institutions.At the present moment our relations with the Mother Country suit us absolutely.We are content with our Jot.We are in fact à nation, and virtually independent.It 13 manifest nevertheless that these relations could not permanently remain what they are.A day will come, in the future more or less near, when by the mere fact of our development as; à people and oFour numerical increase, the colonial tie, so slender, so light as it is, shall become heavy from the fact that it will no longer reply to our natiomal \u2018aspirations.When that state of things shall arrive it is evident that the colonial tie will become fuller and closer or that it will be broken altogether.Its solution will be principally in the hands of England.It 18 possible that the solution may be in the great principle of imperial qrepresenta- tion.The Freneh colonies are représent- ed in the legislative body.Our situation 18 very «different.We have not only our local autonomy but the most complete legislative independence.If, as Che price of Imperial representation, we had to re- nounes our autonomy, our leg'slative independence, we would not have it at any price.But if imperial representation 18 to be the solution, it could only come as the complement and not as the destruction of what exists to-day.Allow me now, gentlemen, to add that, if the dream of imperial representation, is to be realized I should regard as a glorious day the day when Canada would be represented on the historice floor of the Commons of England by a French-Canadian who would Bring into that new atmosphere, with his frank loyalty to British institutions, the logic of mind, the warmth of sentiment, the lively imaginaton, the poetic conception of things, which in all times have characterized the genius &f France.À PERSONAL ALLUSION.I \u201cMay I now be permitted to make an allusion which is quite personal._I have allowed myself to say that heTe, in Trance, there are many who are astonished at this attachment which I feel, and witch I do mot conceal, for the Crown of England.That is called here \u2018loyakism.\u2019 For my part, be it said in passing, I love not this new expression, \u2018loyalism.\u2019 I like better to hold to the old French locution, loyalty\u2019 (loyanted.And certainly there is a thing that the history of France has taught me to regard as an attribute of the French race, it is loyalty, it is the memory of the heart.I remember, gentlemen, those beautiful verses which Victor Hugo has applied to himself ms the inspiration of his life; Fidele au double sang \u2014qu\u2019ont verse (dans ma veine, Mon pere vieux soldat, ma mere ven- (deen pe.\u201cPaithful to the double strain poured into my veins by my old soldier father and my venerable mother.\u201d \u201cThis double fidelity to ideas, to distinet aspirations is our glory in Canada, We are farthtul to the great nation which thas given us life; we are faithful to the great nation which has given us liberty.\u201d PREMIER REID ENCHANTED, Mr.Reid, Prime Minister of New South Wales, next spoke in a tone of bonhomie and cordiality which won the audience at once.Je declared himself enchanted at having travelled twenty thousand miles to see Paris.As to the question of British Imperial federation, he showed himself more reserved in his loyalist declarations than the speaker who had preceded him.In principle he was a partizan of the political solidarity of the British empire and of freedom of trade between its members, He was of opinion always THE HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1897.that the more slender the ties which \u2018bound the colonies to the Mother Country the less were they disposed to be strained and broken.Sir J.Gordon Sprigg succeeded Mr.Reid.He showed that the French race also occupied its place in South Africa, The French Huguenots, flying from religious persecution and settling in those countries had had numerous descendants, In them French types and names and the French language were to a certain extent preserved, and, from that circumstance, the sympathy with which France was regarded.Cape Colony also desired to take a brilliant part in the exhibition of 1900, at which she would have a superb display of her diamonds and ostrich feathers to be admired, Sir J.Gordon Sprigg desired, he also said, to see the accomplishment of the dream of a Greater Britain, and all the groups of the English race united into but one people, The British constitution, the noblest, the loftiest, gave liberty to all nationalities and all races, and the scepr tre of Victoria was light upon all.Calling on his memory, he recalled that when he was in London, in 1848, the question was asked whether the throne of Victoria would nob be shaken by the revolution which had just taken place in France.It was not; 1t was strengthened on the contrary by fifty years of a reign of justice and wisdom.SOME PIQUANT OBSERVATIONS.In the course of his eulogies of Faris, Sir Gordon Sprigg made some piquant observations.He was edified, he said, at the Bois de Boulogne, by the spectacle nf the numerous families who went there to seek recreation on Sunday, avoiding the cafe and the \u201cbrasserie.\u201d Mr.Picard replied to the toast by the vice-president of the English Chamber of Commerce in favor of the exhibition of 1900.He showed that the lofty aim amd the practical plan of this universal festival of peace and civilization and frate\u201cnity, destined to glorify the «nd of this century, was to be its apotheosis before it entered into eternity.In vast shops and gigantic stores would be placed by the side of the products the modes of production; by the side of the manufactured articles the modes of manufacture.It would be an immense museum which would display the leading inventions of the century, and which would constitute at the same time a tribute \u2018o our fathers and an example to their sue- CESSOrs.Mr.Picard spoke of the Homeric conibats which the had passed through to obtain twelve hectares more; in order to meet the demands of the commisisoners-general of the powers participating.It would be mecessary to sacrifice the national one account of want of space.The speaker remarked that a too large extent of exhibition wearies visitors and that it is suitable to limit it by a selection of attractions.He concluded by drinking to the British Empire, and its triumph at the exhibition of 1900.Mr.Paul Leroy-Beaulicu succeeded Mr.Picard.\u201cWho would have believed, \u201che said in the time of Louis XV.and of Voltaire that a century and a half later à Prime Minister of Canada, which had then sixty thousand gouls, and reckons today six millions, would hear at Paris a toast to France, He told of his emotion in listening to the Prime Ministlers of the English colonies recall the French origins of their countries.He would wish that the relations of France with Canada were more developed, that French capital was more invested there, as it had been in South Africa, with too much eagerness perhaps.COLONIAL POLICY OF FRANCE.England should not take umbrage at the colonial policy of France.The globe was vast enough for both and it might be permitted to France to pursue her work in the hope of better preserving her colonics than she had dome those conquered in the sixteenth and seventesuth centuries.France did not desire the fall of England, which would he chimerical, and that fall besides would leave an immense void.She recognized a superiority on the part of Great Britain, that of action, of energy and of continuity.Thence, at times, under the pen of her writers, some bitterness which took nothing away from a deep admiration of British genius.\u201cFurther,\u201d said the distinguished economist, in conclusion, \u201cit is better to aid than to devour each other,\u201d and he pledged the toast of the civilizing union of France and England.Mr.Henniker Heaton, member of the English House of Commons, developeil his favorite theory of \u201cpenny postage,\u201d that is to say the reduction to tan centimes of the postage of letters and the reduction of telegraphic tariffs, to develop international relations.\u201d Mr.Jules Siegfried closed the proceedings by exnressing his wishes for the development of Anglo-French trade.He addressed himself particularly to the ladies and asked them to become always better cus- temers of the Parisian dressmakers, to increase, if possible, their grace and their beauty.Used Up and Worn Out Men and Women - Renewed and Invigorated by Pajnd\" Celery Compound.Orem With the coming of hot and sweltering weather we see around us\u2014on the streets, in the office, in our homes and in the homes of others\u2014men and women who are listless, tired, used up and worn out.Look well on the faces of such mortals! They are hollow cheeked, emaciated, nervous, sallow, unsteady in gait, with sunk- cn and heavy eyes.They are unfitted for business cares and home duties, and as a rule they help to make the world miserable and gloomy.Such people stand in need of pure, red blood, renewed digestive vigor, with nervous system well and truly balanced.Paine\u2019s Celery Compound supplies every element of true physical manhood and womanhood to the used up and worn out in body and brain;

for such as these the public baths are required.I am sanguine of belief that exemption from ordinary or contagious diseases would be largely ensured if our poorer citizens could enjoy the use of a bountiful supply of water which should be as free to them as the air they breathe.I am, too, a personal believer in the approximation of cleanliness and godliness, for no one can he self-respecting if he be begrimed with dirt and covered with rags or unwholesome garments.The city would be reimbursed for its expenditure by the diminution of drunkenness, brutality and petty thieving if baths were established.They should be in two, or better still, three localities, the cast, west, and centre, so as ta be casily available.\u201d REV.DR.BENSON.Rev.Dr.Manly Benson, pastor of Mountain Street Methodist Church, said :\u2014 \u201cI trust the efforts which are.being made to secure the island baths for womea on portions of certain days of each week will be successful.I feel quite certain that His Worship the Mayor and the ald- crmen cf our fair chy only need to have this matter brought to their attention.The city of Toronto has engaged a tug to take out barges loaded with boys across the bay, to a sand bar near the island, from which they can bathe in the cool waters of Ontario.1 saw list week several hundred boys in the lake at one time, and a barge crowded with boys being towed across the bay to join those already im the water, while another barge was loadel with the lads who had had their evening dip and were ready to return.Two or three kind hearted policemen are detailer to care for the boys.By all means give old and young every facility possible in this direction during the summer.\u201d - 5, MR.JOSEPH RICHARDS.TT\" Mr.Joseph Richards, president St.George\u2019s Society, suys :\u2014 \u201cI am very pleased that this matter of free public baths for women is being taken up.I have frequently been impressed with this necessity in my visits amongst the poor; in almost every respectable poor person\u2019s house, two essentials necessary for health and comfort are entirely wanting, viz.,baths and privacy.This great want would be largely supplied by public baths, an essential to health and godliness not only for mothers, but their daughters also.I trust our worthy mayor and aldermen will see the desirability of prompt action im this matter, as I feel quite sure every right minded citizen will stand at their becks.\u201d MISS BARRY, Miss Barry (\u201cFrancoise\u201d), whose writ ings are well-known, expressed herself as follows :\u2014 \u201cI think that the petition to His Worship the Mayor and the aldermen of ths city of Montreal, im view of securing for women the same privileges as are now enjoyed by men in the public baths, is a most judicious ons and I hope the corporation will grant this demand immediately.It should be the duty of the gentlemen of the Board of Health to second this petition with all their might; they know the necessity of public baths and what a boon those would be for the women, especially those who canmot leave the city during the sura- mer for the sea side.\u201d A WORKING GIRLS VIEWS.© A working girl interested, speaking of the baths at Point St.Charles\u2019 said, \u201cWe know that the baths are used freely and much enjoyed by a large number of \"women and girls at the Point.But there is a certain «lass off girls\u2014I allude to those employed in stores and \u2018actories\u2014who cannot avail themselves of the privileges of the bathsy, the allotted hours not being convenient, as these ginls are then engaged at their work.\u201d - This is undoubtedly frue, and the only remedy at present seems to have the baths open af six o'clock in the morning, {A%tead of nine o'clock, and 5 afford the girls the opportunity of taking a hath before breakfast, and before taking up the work of the day.This diffienlty, however, will be overcome when we have, as we hope soon to have, public bathe for women exclusively, and open every day cf the week, A DISTRICT VISITOR TALKS.Mrs.Ohling, Bible woman of the W.C.T.U.,, was much pleased when she heard of the suggested free baths.\u201cIn my district visiting among the poor,\u201d said Mrs.Ohling, \u201cI have had ample and most convineing proof that should such baths be opened it will be a blessing indeed to the hundreds of pocr women and girls living in Montreal.The majority of the homes of wae poorer classes have no provision whatever made for bathing.It would be a great boon and I hope that we may get them\u201d 7 a \u201c GALLOPHOBIA,\" À Protest Against Colonel Buchan's Appointment, Le Monde Claims the New Commandant i at St.Johns is Not Well Disposed Towards French-Canadians.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Under the heading \u201cGallophobia,\u201d Le Monde says: \u201cEverybody knows that the Ottawa Liberal Government has just entrusted to Colonel Buchan the position occupied up to the present time at the military school of St.Johns, by the Count d\u2019Or- sonnens, whose praises have been too often sung to render their repetition necessary.\u201cWhat is not known is that this Mr.Buchan is not excessively well disposed towards those who speak French.This is what happened once.\u201cMany officers were at mess.Captain, ince Major, Lessard, thought that he might speak French; but he was mis taken and placed under arrest.He appealed and General Herbert annulled the arrest and reprimanded Mr.Buchan.\u201cIn an Ontario garrison these gallopho- bic sentiments might seem natural; but we are inclined to wonder that the Government should grant to such a man the command of a military school in an eminently French-Canadian centre, of which the contingent is largely comfposed of French-Canadian soldiers.\u201cTor the rest, Colonel Buchan may have mended his ways.In that case he will be obliged to us for rccalling a little story which will allow his subordinates to see the extent of the progress realized by their worthy commander.\u201d WOTIEN\u2019S NATIONAL COUNCIL.A New Scheme for Great Britain\u2014The Work in Canada.ap a > The scheme of establishing a National Council of Women for (Great Britain and Ireland, in connection with the Interna- ticral Council of Women, of which Lady Aberdeen is president, seems at last likely to become an accomplished fact, says the London Chronicle.A well-attended mec ing was held recently at the Women\u2019s Institute, Grosvenor Crescent, Lady Aberdeen presiding, and among those present were Lady Tweedmouth, Lady Battersea, the Countess of Warwick, Lady Henry Somerset, Mrs.Wynford Philipps, Murs, Bunting, Mrs.Creighton, Madame Mich- oelis, Mrs.Alec Tweedie, and Mrs, Pear- gall Smith.: Lady Aberdeen, in her opening address, «aid this council movement was one to embrace all societies and all workers.\u2018The International Council was formed in Washington in 1888, but reniained a dead letter till after the meeting at Chicago in 1893, when a number of women went back to their differont countries pledged to use their efforts to form national councils.These councils were based on two or three main principles.It.was essential that they should not be committed to any one propaganda, The idea was to obtain an organization in which all societies in which women took a part could be represented.The bond was the desire to further the application of the golden rule in all relations of life which every society could strive to do according to its lights.Lady Aberdeen then went.on to describe the | successful work carried on by the National Council of Canada, which had led to the formation of twelve local councils.All the different churches and social and political parties and all classes were represented on these councils, which had done much to break down prejudices and widen the minds of workers.Two years ago they had entered inte negotiations with the National Union of Women Workers to form a council for Great Britain.Difficulties had arisen, but of the desirability of the plan she had no doubt at all.(Cheers.) Mrs.Russell Cooke moved a resolution that it was desirable that a national council be formed and that a provisional committee consisting of the executive of the Women Workers\u2019 Union and of .the Women\u2019s Institute be appointed.Lady Helen.Munro-Ferguson seconded.Mrs.Creighton, president of the National Union of Women Workers, moved an amendment: \u2014 That a committee be formed to consult with the National Union of Women Workers, and discover whether an arrangement can be made according to which the National Union _shall act as the National Union for Great Britain and Ireland.Should this prove impossible, the committee to have the power to proceed to the formation of a new national council.She has every hope that a compromise would be arrived at.i Lady Battersea seconded the amendment.À «discussion followed in which Mrs.W'ynford.Philipps, on behalf of the Women\u2019s Institute, cordially accepted Mrs.Creizhton\u2019s amendment, and expressed the readiness of \u2018herself and her colleagues to work for the scheme in every way.Mrs.Cooke then accepted the amendment, which was put and carried with one dissentient, À Tesolution that the National Union be asked to invite representatives of the Women\u2019s Institute on to their executive was then carried, and, finally, a provisional committee was.appointed consisting of four representatives of the National Union, four from the Women\u2019s Institute, four appointed by Lady Aiber- deen, and the two ladies, Mrs.Eva Me- Laren and Mrs.Bedford Fenwick, who originally commenced the movement in this country.A vote of thanks to Lady Aberdeen concluded the proceedings.TT» .a { CANADIANS IN HUROPE, ©.The following Canadians are registered at the Canadian Commissioner\u2019s office in Paris: Major Herbert.Montreal.Grand Hetel;

As this commany made no contract with the city to build thus len to Pine Avenue, but to have this line completed to the city limits at the top of Cote des Neiges fil, which was to De done on or before the first day of September, 1895, under penalty of forfeiture of $25,000 deposited wth the city, aud a further penalty of $25 a day tor every day\u2019s \u2018delay in ths completion of its works after that date, it seems to me it would be most imprudent for the Counecu to take any such action until it knew definitely whether by 30 doing the city waived any rights to the payments of the prescribed penalties, which together now amount to about $42,500.It the company, after paying the amount already forfeited to the city, desires any such favor as to stop at Pine Avenue, it might be proper for the Council to consider whether it were in the interest of the public to do so, but before any action is taken by the Council to make the above order \u2018there should be some direct request by the company stating what favors it wants from the Councl:, and in what manner it will affect the $42,500 due by the company to the city.Otherwise the city might not only lose the amount, but the company refuse to carry this line further than Pine Avenue, by being placed in a false position.Ne matter even If it were true, a8 many suppose, that in this company\u2019s dealings with the Council, Ald, Prefontnine acts as the mouthpiece of the company, this would in no manner bind the company; and his action as a councillor would be the action of the Council, and night exonerate the company {rom the payment of this forfeited money, or the construction of this line further than Pine Avenue.At any rate, this is a matter that requires to be carefully considered, and is altogether too \u2018important for any hasty action, e¢speclally when the Mayor and many aldermen have left the city for their holidays, as I am aware, uncer the impression that no meeting of Council would be held durin~ their abrence, so I trust The Herald will do what it can Fo prevent the city being placed in any such false position.WILLIAM LITTLE July 30th, 1897.The round trip from Quebec to Roberval and Chicoutimi by rail, through the lovely Inke amd mountain scenery of the Canadinn Adirondacks, down the Sagusnay and back to Quebec by seaside rodoris of tho lower St.Kaw- rence.Is without doubt one of tite most varied and delightful tonrs on this con.tinemt.A daylight trip.No fourist should fall to take it.Excellont hotel necomimodation, Round trip tickets only ten dollars each, PEGI O40 ICID IDIDI DDD most skilful dentist to know enough NOT to extract teeth that his skill can save, Teeth were not made to be extracted.Whenever the operation is neces.sary\u20141 extract teeth palnlessly\u2014butg 3 4 1 would much rather save teeth that can be saved\u2014painlessly also.Painless dentistry.Moderata ji charges.Warranted work.À My three graces of gôod tooth care, Je BARKER VOSBUREH, Dentist, 2416 St.Catherine Street, MONTREAL.Telephone 3085, 0@+ + B+P >-+ + B0+@+P@ | 4S IVPIPI DIP DIOID OO ID( TED +S oDo à ?May be believed to know enough to : extract teeth.It belongs to the : ® l PURELY PORK SAUSAGES end ThistleBrand once {AMS and WHOLESALE: i AC) $ 185t, Phillip Street, Are Standara of Excellenc RETAIL: Stalls 24 & 25, St.Lawrence Market.Buy from Advertiser and mention Heralds NEW POULTRY FOOD.5 Green Cut Bones, One price, 20 Ibs, for 50c, M.HEIN.RIOHON, dealer jh 5 grain, 8 Notrel ame Stréet., St| Henri, P.O.Box 22, Headquarters for Vaccine.We are Sole Agents for the celebrated New England Vaccine Co.\u2019s Virus.We sold, during thé last epideniic.90,000 in\u2018 this city.Fresh daily.W.H.CHAPMAN, 2637 St.Catherine Street.TELEPHONE 4067. O THE HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1897.A VERY QUEER CRAFT et Is Commodore Jarvis\u2019 One- Rater Bonshaw.YESTERDAY AT LEPINE, The Montreal Hunt's Steeplechase Programme.Quebec's Bill of Fare \u2014 Local and Genoral Sporting News.per The Bonshaw hailing from Toronto and cwned by Mr.Jarvis, the commodore of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, arrived pt Lachine by boat on Thursday evening.Mr.Jarvis had her rigged by 11 o\u2019clock yesterday morning, when he sailed her to the yacht club.lmmediately on her arrival she was hauled up on the ways, where a general overhauling, leaves her ready for to-day\u2019s race.She is in many ways a peculiar boat, this may seem the more so from the fact that her lines are in marked contrast to those of the other raters already so well-known.She looks very like an enlarged punt with ao rounded stern.The boat only draws eignteen inches of water, the depth being greatest about the centre, here also the bottom is slightly curved, thus breaking what would otherwise be a perfectly fat surface.The sides of thie boat, which are white in color, are square, rising almost perpendicularly irom the water.The Bonshaw, while not quite so wide as the Duggan boat, is pretty much the same length, but with decidedly mora overhang, while her freeboard is much less.\"he must which is solid, is placed about two feet fuviher aft than on the other raters, leaving lots of room forward for her tremendous jib.Her cockpit is a self- emptying one and extremely shallow.Her spread of sail measures 493 square feet, this 1s about the saine as the other boats, 500 square feet being the limited area.The mainsail which seems to be of the same material as Glencairn II's, has one long batten along the line of the first reef joints, with two short ones further aloft.1t is very difficult as yet to form an opinion on the boat\u2019s speed; ghe loolu as if she would be relatively faster in a lighter than a heavier wind owiag to her small amount of surface resistance, but it is said that Mr.Jarvis considers her to be a heavy-weather boat.Her water line while on an even keel ia within the twenty-foot limit, but when keeled over she can measure as much as twenly-seven feet.Great interest is being taken in to-day\u2019s race (which is being really held for the purpose of giving the boats a chance to trim up for the trials), as it will give a .rough idea of the Bonshaw\u2019s chances of de fending the international cup.+ Great credit is due to the Bonshaw's skipper, Mr.Jarvis, for the pluck and perseverance which he has shown in bringing his boat from» Toronto to assist the Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club in choosing a defender.The Royal Canadian Yacht Club could not have a more worthy representative.The club house is slowly nearing completion, the outside work on the building being now finished.The pier along the beach has been boarded over, but it is unlikely that the remainder of the front ground will be sodded before the arrival of the visitors.The tennis lawn ix now in working order and will be thrownsopen to members to-day.Glencairn TTL, Avoca, Millie, Glenowen, Benshaw and Rogue are the entries for to-day\u2019s one-ratér race.The Telander will not sail owing to Mr.Hamilton's absence in Cacouna, while the Maida has not yet recovered from last Saturday\u2019s mishap.In the half-rater race Anita, Viva and Titania will cross the starting line.TORONTO CREW FOR DETROIT.Toronto, Ont, July 31L\u2014(Special.)\u2014The Varsity crew left this morning for Detroit to take part in the North-westera regatta on Monday and Tuesday.The four is com- pesed of Harry Gooderham, stroke; W.E.Douglas, No.3; G.G.Jordan, No, 2; Thiift Burnside, bow.The boys arc in fine form.Ned Hanalan, who has been ccach- ivz them for the past two weeks, will ac- cempany the crew to Detroit.Mr.Fitz- g-bbon, the manager of the Rowing Cluh, will also go with the boys, to look alter kheir accomodation.\u2014 pe THE TURF.YESTERDAY AT LEPINE, The following were the results of yesterday\u2019s races at Lepine Park: 2.20 class, purse 8700; trot and pace\u2014 Dorion & Co, (St.Phillipe d\u2019Argénteuil), \u20ac m Amelia.1 4 1 1 HN.Geluas, {Three Rivers), ch m May Gurl .2 2 2 2 A.Daigncacit, (Marieville, Que, b m Ben Morrill .3 3 3 3 O.Potvin (Longueuil), br nm!

grades of flour have been equally strong and it is believed that some of the millers up west have again advanced their prices.The demand in Ontario is also improving and straight rollers have sold at $3.40 to $3.45.Toronto Business.rupted considerably this week by heavy rainstommns, and the result will be Tkely to interfere a good deal with travellers getting about in the country for a few days.Up to the first of this week the movement in wholesale goods was very satisfactory.The excellent crop prospects continued to have a good etfect on country buying, and the movement in fall goods showed some increase, while the hot ders for summer goods.The reports of damage to the crops at certain points by the rain will doubtless be to some extent offset by fine weather, and the harvest may now proceed uninterrupted.It was reorted here this week that cutting of wheat in Manitoba would begin about the the first week in August, which is ten days to two weeks earlier than usual, go that the prospects of getting the wheat harvested up there before the frost comes are now, it may be said, better than ever before.There is a fatr demand for general goods and considerable shipments are being made by the distributing houses in this city.Prices are generally very firm.Oountry remittances are fair and improvement in this connection is looked for soon.In the city payments are a little better, but business circles were somewhat dis turbed by developments in the financial condition of two or three firms that did a large business, and that of course has a disquieting effect.The money market is rather easier for call loans at 4 to 43 per cent.Mercantile paper is quoted at 6 to 7 per cent.according to name and date.Trade in Winnipeg, A report of Winnipeg trade says: \u201cThis has been a busy week for jobbers in one way, the feature of the week being the large number of merchants in the city from outside points drawn hither by the holding of the Winnipeg summer fair, More or less buying has been done by some of the visitors, but many of them come for pleasure rather than business purposes, and the amount of buying has not been as large as might be supposed.The heavy rains and disagreeable weather was not favorable to business, though the crops have been benefited much by the rains.In the eastern part of Manitoba there was no great need of rain, but throughout the central and western portion tre rain was needed, and needed quite urgently in some sections.The fruit trade suffered the most from the unfavorable weather, large stocks having been brought in for exhibition week, which did not meet with as large a sale as expected.The lumber trade is having a very busy season.While the Jarge number of elevators byild- ing throughout the country is an important factor in the lumber trade, it is also evident that farmers are doing more building this year.This is no doubt due to the growth of the dairy industry and the growing live stock industry.Farmers are going more extensively into thesc lines, and they require more buildings on their farms.The commencement of work on the Crow\u2019s Nest Railway has been felt in several lines of trade.There have been large purchases of horses, contractors\u2019 outfits, suck as scrapers, provisions, oats, etc.The price of oats and butter has been advanrel by this demand, rene has been also a good demand for labof, Bank clearings at Winnipeg thia week show, as usual, a large increase over previous years,\u201d Trade on the Coast, A late Vancouver renott says: \u2018Trade has \u2018been fully up to the average in Vancouver and New Wesminster this week.At this season the lumbering business is at a standstill, but mining camps are constantly increasing in number and the different mines are being worked, which almost makes up for the trade lost by the absence of lumber ships in port.Preparations for the canning business has also aided the wholesalers very materially.As yet the salmon are not 1unning in large quantities but the disquieting rumors, in the main without foundation, have not materially affected this last industry, and all is quiet, on the Fraser, the fisher men accepting seven and eight cents per fish without objection.There is no combination among them, and there is only the remotest possibility of a strike.Many believe, however, that four big salmon buyers in England, who control the mar ket, have combined to keep down prices, and if this is the case the canners will have to protect themselves by keeping down the prices on the Fraser.\u201d \u2014 TH CHURCHES, | Christ Church

much.LL Morganatic marriages may be considered to have had their day.For it is their death knell that has been sounded by the judgment just rendered in the Lippe Det- mold succession controversy by a specially organized grand tribunal presided over by the venerable king of Saxony, dean in point of age of the sovereigns comprised in the federation known as the \u2018German Empire.According to the decision of this court\u2014the very highest in the land, and the decrees of which, by previous agreement, are binding upon all the states of the empire \u2014morganatic unions on the part Butcher of parents or of more remote ancestors of Hur are no longer to constitute any bar to ing in the succession to the throne.This being tify the case, it naturally follows that they cease to entail any disqualifying consequences in all other particulars which are naturally of minor importance, and become identical with ordinary marriages.The controversy which has been exciting an immense amount of interest throughout Europe, may be said to have originated with Emperor William, and in the following manner.Two years ago Waldemar, the then reigning prince of Lippe-Detmold, being in {failing health, bodily as well as mentally, and having no heir except his lunatic brother, Alexander, was induced by the emperor to draw up a will according to whicly the regency of the throne during its occupancy by the insane Prince Alexander was to be vested not in the hands of Count Ernest of Lippe, the nearest agnate and closest relative, but in those of an infinitely more remot2 kinsman, namely, Prince Adolphus of Lippe-Schaumburg, who, however, en- St {che \u2014 tches( ve ei joys the advantage of being the most sub- yw servient, and therefore, highly favored of ed tipo the brothers-in-law of the Kaiser.Prince Waldemar, moreover, expressed the hope In this precious will, which he had nos the vestige of a right to make, that the regency would only be preparatory to the succession of Prince Adolphus to ths throne on the demise of the present lunatic prince.On the strength of this will, as soon as ever Prince Waldemar breathed his last, Adolphus took up his residence at the palace, seized hold of the reins of government then.+t and caused the principality to be occupied by a strong detachment of the Prussian troops of his brother-in-law, Emperor Wil- Jam, the presence of the soldiers effectual- y quelling all projects of resistance on the part oË the indignant population.mar Fortunately, for Count Ernest Lippe the ju high-handed and arbitrary proceedings at ; 1 A exated so auch indignation i fb throughout all the other mon-Prussian We slates that Emperor William became | oy seriously alarmed, all the more as e himself was held responsible for the Toe affair, his

Geyer and then countess of I1ochiverg.indeed, there 1s a (question whether, if Emperor Willlam\u2019s argument had Leen admitted to succeed to the throne of Prussia, since a by no means remote ancestor of the present German Empress married a servant girl, from whom her I'mperial Majesty and her numerous children are therefore descended, the blueness of their blood being strengthened and darkened by a healthy menial strain.If morganatie marriage on the part of ancestors does mot constitute a bar, then it is not the Catholic Duke Albert of Wur- temberg who is heir presumptive to King William, but the Protestant Duke of Teck, married to Princess Mary of Cambridge and of great Britain and father of the Duchess of York.The King of Wurtem- berg as every one knows, has no son.but only a daughter of the name of Pauline.Next to him in point of kinsman- ship comes the Duke of Teck, who is th» son of the late royal Duke Alexander of Wurtemberg and of his morganatic wife, the Hungarian Countess of Rheday-and- of-Hohenstein.Hitherto the Duke of Teck has been regarded as disqualified from sue- cession to the throne in consequence of the non-royal birth of his lovely mother, and the heir presumptive to the crown has been recognized officially in the person of an 5 king, namely, the Catholic Duke Albert of Wurtemberg, whose mother and whose wife afe Austrian arch-duchesses.Tnasmuch as King William is very fond of the Duke of Teck and cordially dislikes and distrusts young Duke Albert, whose ideas are diametrically opposed to his own on almost every conceivable question.it is by no means improbable that, yielding tofgghe wishes of his people and of the vari®is Lutheran states of the German confederation, His Majesty may now decree the Duke of Teck as next heir to the throne of Wurtemberg.The Duke of Teck has a daughter and three sons by his royal English consort, the daughter being destined as wife of the Duke of York to eventually become the Queen of Englan1 and Empress of India, while of the three sons, the eldest.Prince Adolphus of Teck, captain of the Royal Horse Guards, is the husband of the daughter of the multi-mil- lionaire British Duke of Westminster.Tt is just possible, therefore, that the Duke of Westminster may yet live to blossom forth as the father-in-law of a king of Wurtemberg, a prospect which he certain- lv never anticipate?when he gave the daughter of his hand in marriage to the good natured and somewhat stupid Prince Dolly of Teck.FACTORIES UNDER THE NEW TARIFF.The Brantford Expositor says: \u201cIt will be very gratifying to Brantford people generally, to note the continuous increase of local industries.A few weeks ago, the Waterous Nail Works\u2019 Company announe- ed a large increase im their plant and in their employes.Only «en days ago, the Expositor was able to publish the news that the Cockshutt Plow Company was contemplating the immediate enlargement of their works, as a result of increased demands for their manufactured goods.To-day, the Knowles, Ham & Nott Company has announced that the demands of their business necessitates a greatly increased factory, and that they purpose mot only increasing the number of their employes, but that they intend immediately to build additions to their factory which will make it half as large again as it is today.A despatch to the Expositor from Paris says that the Penman Manufacturing Company are fitting up the Maxwell foundry for new machinery which will transform it into the hive of industry which it was when they bought it ten years ago.In addition to this the company are building a splendid new dye house.It is expected that not less than fifty new hands will be taken on at first and if the expectations of the company are realized, further additions to the staff will follow.The prospects are that Paris will not only regain the loss she incurred during the last fow years by fires and bonuses, but that she will become one of the busiest manufacturing towns in Ontario.It it stated that other manufacturing concerns here contemplate several additions to their works, and if this is true it will be good news to Parisians, In addition to the Penman Company, the Paris Electro-Plating Company have almost, doubled their staff, the Campbell- fond Carpet and Hammock Company, and the Empire Carpet Works have both materially increased the mumber of hands employed.The outlook for Paris is indeed exceedingly bright.tu i Ruskin\u2019s Unselfishness.Another striking illustration of Ruskin's unscifishness ds seen in the manner in which he has disposed of his forture which, at the time of his father's deati.amounted to a million dollars.With this money he set about doing good, Toor young men and women who were struggling to obtain an education were helped, homes for working men and women were established and \u2018model apartment houses were erected.He also prometed a work for reclaiming waste land outside of London, This land was used for tie aid of unfor tunate men who wished to rise again from the state into which they had fallen throug: cruel social conditions and their own weaknesses.It Is sald that this work Suggested to Gen.Booth his colonization farms.Ruskin has also ever been liberal In aiding poor artists, and has done much to encourage the artistic taste -among the young, On one occasion he purchased ten fine water color paintings by Holman Hunt for $3,750, to be hung in public.schools of London.y 1877 he had disposed of three-fourths of his inheritance, besides all the income from his booss.But the calls of the paor and the plans which he wished to put inte operation looking- toward educating and ennobling the toilers, and giving to the'r gloomy lives something more of sunshine and joy, were such that he determined tv dispose of all the remainder of his wealth except a sum sufficient to yield him.$1,500 à year on which to live \u2014B.O.Flower in The Arena,

is the ques tion,\u201d she retorted.And at that again I could have had it in my heart to strike her across her scornful child\u2019s face.\u201cMy uncle is a man, at least.\u201d \u201cHe is a bad one, curse him,\u201d I eried, in a fury.She looked at me coolly.\u201cThat is bet ter,\u201d she said.\u201cIf your deeds were of a piece with your words, you should be no man\u2019s slave.His least of all, Mr, Price.\u201d \u201cYou talk finely,\u201d I said, my passion cooling, as I began to read a covert mean- img in her tone and words, and that she would be at something.\u201cIt comes well from you, who do his errands ay and night.\u201d \u201cOr find scme one to do them,\u201d swered, with derision.\u201cWell, after this you will have to find some one else,\u201d I cried, warming again.\u201cAh, if you would but keep your word!\u201d she cried, clapping her hands softly and peering at me.\u201cIf you would keep your word.\u201d Seeing more clearly that she would be at gomething, and wishing to know what it wag, \u201cTry me,\u201d I said.\u201cWhat do you mean ?\u201d \u201cIt is plain,\u201d she answered, \u201cwhat I mean.Carry no more messages! Be sneak and spy no longer! Cease to put your head in a noose, to serve rogues\u2019 ends! Have dome, man, with cringing and fawning and trembling at big words.Break off with these villains that hold you, put a hundred miles between you and them, and be yourself! Be a man!\u201d \u201cWhy, you mean your uncle-\u201d I cried, she ans \u2018vastly surprised.\u201cWhy not?\u201d she said.\u201cBut if you feel that way, why do his bidding yourself?\u2019 1 answered, doubting all this might be a trap of that cunning devil.\u201cIf I smeak and spy, who spies on me, miss \u201d \u201cI do,\u201d she said, leaning against the wall of Bedford Garden, where one ot Heming\u2019s lights, set up at the next corner, shone full on her face.\u201cAnd I am weary of it.\u201d \u201cBut then if you are tired of it\u2014\" \u201cIf I am tired of it, why don\u2019t I free myself instead of preaching to you\u201d?she answered wearily.\u201cFirst, because l am a woman, Mr.Wiseman.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t see what that has to do with it.\u201d I retorted.\u201cDon\u2019t you?\u2019 she amswered, bitterly.\u201cThen I will tell you.My uncle feeds me, clothes me, gives me a roof, and sometimes beats me.If I run away, as I bid you run away, where shall I find board and lodging, or anything but the beating?À man comes and goes; a woman, if she has not some one to answer for her, must to the justice and thence to the roundhouse, and be set to beating hemp, their shoulders smarting to boot.Can I get service without a character?\u201d \u201cNo.\u201d I said, \u201cthat is true.\u201d\u201d \u201cOr travel without money?\u201d \u201cNo.\u201d \u201cOr alone, except to Whetstone Park?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d \u201cWell, it is fine to be a man, then,\u201d she answered, leaning her little shawled head further back against the wall, and slowly moving it to and fro, while she looked at me from under her eyelashes.\u201cFor he can do all.And take a woman with him.\u201d I started at that, and stared at her, and saw a little color come into her pale face.But her eyes, far from falling under my gaze, met my eyes with wa bold, mischievous look, that gradually, and as she till moved her head to and fro, melted into a smile., Tt Was impossible to mistake ther meaning, and I felt a thrill run through me such as I had not known for ten years.\u201cOh,\u201d I said at last, and awkwardly, \u201cI see now.\u201d \u201cYou would have seen long ago if you had not been a fool,\u201d she answered.And then as if to excuse herself added\u2014but this I did not understand\u2014*not that fine feathers make fine birds\u2014I am not such a fool myself a5 to think that\u2014but\u2014\" \u201cBut what?\u2019 I said, my face warm.\u201cI am a fool all the same.\u201d Her eyes falling with that and her pale face growing scarlet, thongh I could not follow her precise drift, of the main thing there was no doubt.And I take it there are few men that, upon such an invitation however veiled, would not respond.Aec- cordingly I took a step towara fhe girl and went, through clumsily, sto put my arm round her.But she pushed me off with a vigor that surprised me, and mocked me with a face between mischief and triumph, a face that was more like a mutinous boy\u2019s than a girl's.\u201cOh, no,\u201d she said.\u201chere is a good deal between this and that, Mr.Price.\u201d \u201cHow?\u201d I said shamefaczdly, \u201cDo you.go?\u2019 she asked sharply.\u201cls it settled?That first of all, if you please.\u201d As to the going \u2014somewhere\u2014I had made Up my mind long ago; before I met her, or went into the Seven Stars, or knew that a dozen mad toperg were roaring treason about the town, and bidding fair to hang us all.But being of a cautious temper, and seeing conditions 1 had not contemplated, added, and having besides a shrewd idea that I could not withdraw afterward, I hesitated.\u201cIt is dangerous!\u201d I said.\u201cT will tell you what is dangerous,\u201d she answered, showing her little white teelh as she flashed her eyes at me.\u201cAnd that is to be where we are.Do you know what they are doing there?\u2019 and she pointed toward the market whence we had come.\u201cNo,\u201d I answered reluctantly, wishing she would say no more.\u201cKilling the King,\u201d she answered in a low voice.\u201cIt is for Saturday or Saturday week.Ie is to be stopped in his coach as he comes from hunting\u2014in the lane between Turnham green and the river.You can count their chances.They are merry plotters.And now-\u2014now,\u201d she continued, \u2018\u2018do you know where you stand, Mr.Price, and whether it is dangerous?\u201d \u201c] know,\u201d I said, trembling at that bloody degign, which no whit snrovisad me, since everything 1 had heard corroborated it.\u201cYT know what I Lave to do.\u201d \u201cWhat?\u201d she said.\u201cGo straight to the Secretary\u2019s office,\u201d I said, \u201cand tell him.\u201d \u201cYou won't do it,\u201d she answered.at least, 1 won\u2019t.\u201d \u201cWhy?\u201d 1 asked, a-tremble with excitement.\u201cWhy?\u201d she echoed, mocking me.I noticed that not only were her eyes bright, but her lips red.\u201cWhy, firstly, Mr.Price, because I want to have done with plots and live honestly, and that is not to be done on blood money.And, secondly, because it is dangerous, as you call it.Do you want to be in evidence, set up for al lto point at, and six months after to be decoyed to Wapping, dropped \u201cOr And into a dark hold, and carried over to France?\u201d \u201cGod forbid,\u201d I said, aghast at this view of things.\u201cThen have done with informing,\u201d she answered, with a little spurt of heat.\u201cOr let it be, at any rate, until we are safe ourselvés-and snug in the country.Then, it you choose, and you do nothing to hurt my uncie\u2014for 1 wiil not have him touched \u2014we may tals of it.But not for money.\u201d Those words \u2018safe ahd snug,\u201d telling of a prospect that at that moment seemed of all others fhe most desirable in the world, dwelt so lovingly on my ear, that in place of hesitation I feit only eagerness ang haste, \u201cI will go!\u201d I said.\u201cYou will?\u201d she said.\u201cYes,\u201d I answered.! \u2018\u2019And ?\u201d \u201cAnd what?\u201d I said wondering.She hesitated a moment and then, \u201cThat is for you to say,\u201d she replied, lowering her eyes., it is possible that I might not have understood her even then, if I had not marked her face, and seen that her lips were quivering with a sudden bashfulness which Words and manner in vain belied.She was not.not \u2018all boldness, she blenched at last; and, lowering her eyes, drew forward the shawl tiiat covered her head, the street urchin gone out of her.And I, seeing and understanding, had other and new thoughts of har which remained with me.\u201clf yo mean that,\u201d I said, \u201cI will make you my wife if you will let me.\u201d \u201cWell, we'll see about it when we get to Komtord,\u201d she answered, looking nervously aside, and plucking at the fringe of the shawi.\u201cWe have to escape first.And now listen.\u201d she continued rapidly and in her ordinary voice.\u201cMy uncle is removing tommorrow to \u201canother hiding place, and I go first with some clothes.He will not flit himself until it is dark.Do you put your trunk outside your door and I will take it and send it fy\\ 0x Chelmsforel wagon.At noon meet me at Clerkenwell gate, and we will walk to Romford and fide there until we know how things are going.\u201d \u201cWhy Romford?\u2019 I asked.\u201cWhy anywhere?\u201d she answered, impatiently.That was true enough, and seeing in what mood she was, and that out of sheer contrariness she was inclined, because she had melted to me a moment before, to be the more shrewish mow, I refrained from asking further questions, listening instead to her minute directions, which were given with as much clearness and perspicuity as it she had dwelt on this escape for a twelvemonth past.It was plain, indeed, that she had mot fetched and carried for the famous Ferguson for nothing, nor watched his methods to little purpose.Nor was this all.Mingled with this display.of precocious skill | there constantly appéared a touch of malice and mischievousness, more natural in a boy than in a girl, and seldom found even in boys where the gutter has not served for a school.And through this, again, as through the folds of a shifting gauze, appeared now and then that which gradually, as I listened, took more and more a hold on me\u2014the woman.Yet I suppose that there never was a stranger love making in the world, if love making what could be called, wherein one at least of us had in his mind ten thoughts of fear and death for one of happiness or love, and a pulse attuned rather to the slow and dreary drip of the eaves about us\u2014and the ynonotonous yelp of a cur chimed among the stalls\u2014than to the flutter of desire.And yet when, our plan agreed upon and the details settled, we turned homeward and went together through the streets, I could not refrain from glancing at my companion from time to time in doubt and almost in incredulity.When the dream refused to melt, when 1 found her still moving at my elbow, her small shawled head on a level with my shoulders\u2014when I say I found her so, not love, but a sense of companionship, and a feeling of gratu- lation that I was no longer alone, stole for the first time inte my mind and comforted me.I had gone so many years through these_sfreets solus et caelebs that I pricked my \u2018ears and pinched myself in sheer astonishment at finding another beside me and other feet keeping tims with mine; nor knew witether to be more confounded or relieved to think that of all persons\u2019 interests, her interests, marched with mine.(To be Continued.) tm 1 Mrs.C.E.Gudewell and family are among the Montrealers established at the Ottawa House, Cushing\u2019s Island, for the gummer season.WITCH HAZEL OI 1\" van Piles or Hemorrhoids) 3 Fissures & Fistulas.\u201c% Burns & Scalds.Wounds & Bruises.+ Cuts & Sores.ny: * Boils & Tumors.\" Eczema & Eruptions.| Salt Rheum & Tettiers, Chapped Hands, Fever Blisters.Sore Lips & Nostrils.Corns & Bunions.Stings & Bites of Insects.Three Sizes, 25\u20ac, 50c.and $1.00, Sold by druggists, or sent post-paid on receipt of price LUUMPIIREYS* MED, CO., 111 & 113 William St., New York, Pos Gold, Silver and Steel Eye-glaasses And Spectacles, TIT DES ah ey PETITE or ve, | 0 oeil, [ ENT SHIPMAN & GRIFFITH, ¥uneral Directors and Embalmers, 9356 St, Catherine Street, MONTREAL.Open Day and Night, Telephone 3020, SEALE & SON, Funeral Directors and Embalmers Cor, Beaver Hall and Dorchester Stree Bell Telephone, 3469, \u2018 Montreal, SHIPPING.Uttawa River NavieationCo.MODERN STEEL STEAMERS, SOVEREIGN AND EMPRESS Forming Dally Royal Mail Line, + SUNDAYS EXCEPTED.between Montreal [ and Ottawa.Fare to Ottawa, single, $2.50;

to wateh us face seemed an impertinence, He lighted another cigar presently, and said : \u201cSenor, I was alone in the world, poor, dishonored, without ties or obligations ot any kind, and I burned to revenge myselr, and I took for my motto, \u2018An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.\u2019 \u201cThere was my weakness, senor.A greater man would even then have forgotten personal wrongs and remembered only nobler purposes, but prison life exerts the most demoralizing influence; a good man may come out of it as a good man still, but his goodness 1s no longer a power, it is merely a latent useless quality, not to say a weakness\u2014even that is the exception rather than the rule.A strong man usually becomes a bad man and a bad man grows worse.So it was with me\u2014 my vitality, my energy amd strength were meither broken nor impaired, but with only bad influences around me, I became a leader of bad men.Revenge was my only thought, my only dream, my aim and purpose in life.In that prison I planned my gubsequent career, and formed the nucleus of my present band of brigands.\u201d \u201cYou may have heard of our escape?It was dynamite\u2014horrible! So bloody that the people realized that a family of human tigers had broken loose, and that the public safety was endangered.Still, senor, it was some time before I began my vrork of revenge, for I did not feel I could rely on my men in an emergency\u2014as for myself, I was lacking in coolness, nerve and the practice of cruelty, which I knew I should need in the future.So, for two years, I did no more than rob coaches, raid a mnch or two, and fight the soldiers sent out against us by my former chief.He was no longer governor when he heard of my escape, and knowing that he had a dangerous foe in me, he fled to the capital.When 1 was ready\u2014not so very long since \u2014Ï raided and destroyed his ranches, one alter arother, and in such quick succession that there was no time to prepare defenses, 1 killed his men, drove off his cattle, burned his haciendas and wrecked his mines, sat awkwardly for a few moments after our coversation, any other topic seemed out of place\u2014yet silence was embarrassing, so it was a relief to see the horses coming ready to start.1 rose, tightened my straps and Eraclio asked, \u201cYou are going home, Don Juan?\u201d \u2018 \u201cYes, by a rounidaboul route, but I shall come back again.\u201d \u201cI wish I were going, too,\u201d he said, \u201cbut where?If vou come back, we must meet again, you may find me a better marx \u2014or if not, a far worse.Vaya!\u201d he cried, pulling himself together suddenly.\u2018\u201cl\u2019o- day I am at the zenith of my power.Come, drink another glass with me\u2014a big glass this time\u2014here\u2019s to luck!\u201d At the stage we shook hands again and the mules started on a gallop.The remembrance Kraclio gave me was the little gold belt\u2014thus it came into my possession.Subsequent events proved Eraclio\u2019s presentiments were well founded, his day was over, and from that day forward his existence became more and more precarious.His men felt he had lost his grip, and they in turn lost their unbounded confidence in him.One day the troops surrounded their eamp.and though the majority of the bandits cut their way through the cactus thicket, Eraclio remained behind.When the soldiers came upon him, he was seated on a boulder beside the bodies »f two of his men.dlosed around the famous outlaw, but he neither moved nor noticed them.Now that escape was impossible, many a man among his captors wished it were otherwise, for Eraclio was a popular hero, an ideal to many a Mexican heart.He had often defended them against the law, when it was unjustly applied, he had been kind to the poor, and they loved him.Not a few in the line of troopers owed him thanks for some good deed or timely help.But it was too late.A young officer stepped forward and covering him with his revolver called out: \u201cEraclio Solis, in the name of the nation, you are my prisoner.\u201d The highwayman raised his head, gane- ed his captor, and smiled.Then he loox- ed around at she circle of soldiers, drew bims#f up and without paying any further Cautiousiy the soliders for regalia and uniforms and swcrls, for plumes and banners and banquets.In the great majority cf cases the amount of money pad out for tke actual expense of the lodge, as the dues of the order, is rot great; it is in the field of personal gratification that the vast unaccounted-for sum is expended.It is probable that, for mere personal gratification, aside from any real or imaginary benefits, the members of the various secret organizations in the Unitel States will spend annua'ly in banquets, railroad and traveing ex- pensez, costly gifts to retiring officers, testimonials, elaborate uniforms, and rare swords not less than two hundred and fifty millions of dollars, and this is allowing but fifty dol'a:s a year as an average for the delightful, but probably wholly unnecessary, expenses connected with the fraternities.It is quite likely the sum is considerably more than this.\u201d ee Reason.\u201cYour father,\u201d he cried passionately, \u201chas no reason to object to my suit.\u201d \u201cOh, yes, he has,\u201d she sighed, with a deepening of the habitual sadness of her eyes, \u201cYou are smaller than papa, you know.\u201d Woman, it will perhaps be recalled, 18 endowed with a powerful and peculiar intuition to aid her in tracing the intricate relations of causes to effecis.\u2014D.trot Journal.etre A VETERAN'S STORY, At Righty Years of Age One Box of Dr Agnew\u2019s Catarrhal Powder Curesa Case of Fifty Years Standing\u2014It Relieves Colds and Catarrh in Thirty Minutes.George Lewis, of Shamokin, Pa., writes: \u201cI am eighty years of age.I have been troubled with catarrh for fifty years, and in my time have used a great many catarrh cures, but never had any relief until T used Dr.Agnew\u2019s Catarrhal Powder.One box cured me completely, and it gives me great pleasure to recommend it to all sutfering from this malady.\u201d Sold by B.E.McGale, 2123 Notre Dame street, and J.Lewis & Co, 2208 St.Catherine street.emg ada Vice-Chancellor Sir W.Fage Wood stated publicly in Court that Dr.J.Collis Browne was undoubtedly the inventor of Chloro- dyne, and the wncie story of the defendant, Freeman, wax litarally untrue, and he regretted to say \u2018that it had been sworn to.\u2014 Times, July 10.DR.J.COLLI® BROWNE'S Chlorodyne is the Dest ard most certain remedy in Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Consumption, Neuralgla, Rheumatism, ete.DR.J.COLLIS BROWNE'S Chlorodyne\u2014 The Right Hon.Earl Russell communicated to the College of Physicians and J.'T.Davenport that he had received information to the effect that the only remedy of any service in Cholera was Cllorodyne.\u2014See Lancet, December 31, DR.J.COLLIS BROWNE'S Chlorodyue is a certain cure for Cholera, Dysentery, Diarrhoea, Colic, ete.evi Caution\u2014None genuine without the words \u201cDr.J.Collis Browne\u2019s Chlorodyne\u2019\u2019 in the stamp.Overwhelming medical testimony accompanies each bottle.Sole manufacturer, J.T.DAVENPORT, 33 Great Russell St, London, Eng.Sold at 1s 11d;

Mey | 2p EG i» N the nature of the case it was quite | out of the question that the story of the Diamond Dog, under the skin of whiten gems were smuggled from the mine, should remain a secret for very long.To the illicit diamond buyers every dctail of 1%, as it gradually leaked out, was as a swelt morsel under the tongue, and to many more honest enemies of the new compound system, mostly tradesmen and ean- teen keepers, it was far too acceptable a story either to be kept dark o: to be allowed to lose anything in the reteiling.Added to this the tragedy in which 3b bad culminated had lent a piquancy 10 its flavor which sufficiemtly stimulated the palate of Kimberley society to set it longing for more, and so, little by little, jt filtered through the barriers of official veticence, until at last a fitting finish was given to the story by the confession ok Chief Detective Inspector Lipinskt One night in the smoking room vf the club that that day\u2019s mail had brought him a brief mote, written by one Loo Chai, presumably a former resident of that nam?jn Delagoa Bay, requesting} that an 1n- closed acceptance for £250 drawn in his favor by the late Mr.Augustus Lowen- feldt, might be cashed by that gentleman\u2019s executors, and the amount, less 19 per cent.commission for his, the inspectors, trouble, forwarded at his convenieace to No.9 Malay street, Singapore.The note concluded by stating that the £250 was à balance due from Mr.Lowenfeld* on the purchase of a certain dog of the estimated value of £11,00.Despite the fact that not a few of those who heard the note rcad out, anl looked at the acceptance as it was hasded round, had lost some proportion of that £11,000, the irony of the note and the delicate - humor of the address given\u2014Malay sircet, Singapore, having a reputation that is redolent throughout the whole easi-pro- voked a laugh as general as it was hearty, and the next morning all Kimbecley vas enjoying the heatheu\u2019s parting joke.That night a lady variety vecalist at the Theatre Royal sent her audience into prolonged and vociferous rapiures by sing- ang the then famous patter song, \u201cKeyser, Don\u2019t You Vant to Puy a Tog?\u201d with appropriate local allusions, and then Kimberley proceeded.to improve the cceasion in its own way.\u201cNo Dogs Admitted,\u201d was found painted in large black letters across the principal entrance to the De Beers Compound.The corpse of a larga Newfounaland dog sewn up in the skin of a small donkey and carefully packed in a neat case, Wis sent by coach from Vryburg to the chief jnspector \u201cto be paid for on delivery.\u201d Printed notices were stuck up in conspicuous parts of the town to the effect \u2018that in future all dogs entering or leaving Kimberley would have to be skoued alive \u201chy authority\u2019\u2014and so on until the very sight of a deg im the street afflizted the worthy inspector and his subordinates with something lik» a new sort of rabics.All this was humorous enough in its way, as humor went then in camp, buf, for all that it was destined to lead up, indirectly.to a much darker tragedy than that which had closed the hitherto prosperous career of Mr.Augustus Lowen- feldt.There was at that time in Kimberley a Yankec -adventurer named Seth Salter, who was known to the detective department as an even more ekilful I.D.PB.than the late lamented Lowenfeldt.His ostensible means of livelihood were stock and share speculation, billiards, and three- card monte, varied by thz occasional keep- - ing of a faro bank; but though he did well at all these comparatively honest vocations, he did mot do well enough to satisfactorily account for a style of living and luxurianse of dissipation which could not ba adequately supported on less than £5000 a year, at the most modest cou- putaton.There.were only possible alternative hypotheses, debt or I.D.B., and he had no debts.Now, Seth Salter was one of the most conspicuous of the humorists who, as he put it, made the department see dogs instead of snakcs when the officials thereof had \u201cgot a bit too full,\u201d and before very long Inspector Lipinsky publicly stated in the bar of the Queen\u2019s Hotel that the next time Mr.Salter tried, either in person.or by proxy, to run a parcel of illicit stones over the border to Freetown, he would so arrange matters that, by the time the circus was over, the said Mr.Salyter would have good reason to wish.\u201cthat he had been born a dog, instead ot a dirty, stock-rigging, card-swindling diamond thief.As it chanced, just as the inspeclor was emphasizing the above statement, garnished with certain verbal frillings which need not be produced here, by slapping his four fingers on the bar counter, Mr.Seth himself lounged into the room.\u201d The instant turning of the eyes of the company on him told him, as plainly as any words could have done, that he was the subject of the inspector\u2019s eloquence.The erowd saw at a glance that he had taken in the situation, and every one expected a royal row, for Salter was known to have a temper as quick as his eyes and his hand, and Lipinsky, though only about haif the Yankee\u2019s size, was grit all through.Nothing less than immediate man slaughter was looked for, and the crowd began to scatter instinctively.But, somewhat to the disappointment of the mou restive spirits, Salter strolled quitely up to the bar, took his place abuut three feet from the inspector, and said, with the most perfect good humor: \u201cEvenin\u2019, boss! Don\u2019t seemn to be feel- in\u2019 quite good to-night.Hone no one\u2019s been tryin\u2019 to sell the department another pup?Take a drink?\u201d Of courss the crowd laughed.The double-pointed jibe was irrestihle, and the laugh did mot improve the inspector's inward feelings.But he was far tio well skilled in his business {o show {he slight- ¢st trace of irritation, so he rephel with an easy smile and tbe wcst perfect potile- ness of tone: \u201cAh, good evening, Mr.Salter; I was just talking about you.No thanks, the department is mot buying any dogflesh just mow; not even skins.As to your kind invitation, well, as I say, I was talking about you just now wken vou came in, and perhaps >> If ever mian uttered fighting words coolly, and as if he meant them.Inspector Lipinzky did pust then.Seth Salter had never been known to \u2018take anything like that from any man without prompt and usually fatal reprisals.The crowd waited breathlessly, and silently scattered a little more.But no, the Yankee\u2019s hand did not even move toward his pistol pocket.There was just a little krinkl- ing of the outer corners of h's eyes, mo- ticed only by the inspector and one or two others, but it vanished immediately, and there was no trace of anger in his voice, in fact, it seemed even more good- humored than usual, as he replied.\u201cDon\u2019t take the trouble to say it again boss.T've known your opinion of me for a long time, and now I've heard it.If you'd backed down you might have heard something drop, but as you didu\u2019t I'm free to say that.I've too much respect for your honorable department to think of removing its respected chief to another and maybe, less congenial sphere on account of an honestly expressed opinion\u2014 Not me, sir! So now, N.G.and name the poison.men?\u201d : The crowd joined as one man, and, under the circumstances, the inspector could do nothing less than come in with them.But for all that he felt a trifle puzzled, though he took care not to ghow it.After that the conversation became general and perfectly amicable, albeit .dwelling mainly on the somowhat ticklish subject which possessed the chief interest for every one present.Jut as drinks multiplied and lies got more complicated, the inspector began to grow taciturn Liquor has that effect on some natures, and his was possibly one of them.At last the Yankee rallied him, quite gcod-humoredly on his lack of festivity, but rather unfortunately, as it seemed to the company, dragged in something about the shortage on mine returns.That was too much for the inspector, and his long bottled-up wrath flared out.\u201cShortage, confound it! You're a nice one to talk about shortage, Mr.Salfer.You know as well as I do that theres about $15,000 sliort of the month\u2019s average on De Beers and Kimberley returns, and you know a big sight better than I do where the stones have gone to.Dut we'll have you yet.You're wide and youre deep, but you're mot quite the cleverest man on earth, and when we\u201c do get you\u2014\" \u201cWell, why\u2019n thunder don\u2019t.you boss?\u201d the Yankee laughed, with still undisturbed good humor.\u201cSay mow, TH give you a pointer, as them sneaks of yours don\u2019t seem to have got on to it yet.Tim going across to Freetown some time between Will you join us, gentle.vow and Sunday or a little private bus ness of my own.S\u2019pose, now, 1 was taking that bit of shortage with me\u2014 what'll you lay against me getting it through?\u201d \u201cTen years on the breakwater,\u201d snapped the inspector, as he emptied his glass and set it down with a bang on the counter.\u201cNo, you don\u2019t,\u201d laughed Salter; \u201cthat\u2019s for me to lay.Now, lock here, T'll lay you 10 years on the breakwater to a thou sand pounds\u2014that\u2019s only a hundred a year, and I think my time\u2019s a darned sight more valuable than that, so I'm giving you big odds\u2014that I'll take that little lot through for all you can do to stop me.\u201d As hè spoke he -suddenly pulled his left hand out of his trousers pocket and held it out to the inspector with the palm full of rough diamonds.Lipinski fairly gaped at the Tieap of glittering stones, but he lost neither his presence of mind nor hiz professional prorip- bitude.Like Hghtming, a revolver jumped out of h's coat pocket, and as he covered the Yankee's heart with the muzzle, he said sharply: \u201cThat bluff won't work, Mr.Salter.I'll see your hand for a thousand now.If you don\u2019t want a sudlen death in your family, come alonz to the office, and ace count for ihe possession of those dia monds.\u201d To the added amazement of everyone in the room, Seth Salter .burst into a loud laugh, and said, without moving out of the line of fire: ) \u201cWaal, boss, Idid think you had a bette eye for klips than that.D\u2019you fancy I'd be such an almighty sucker as to\u2014 good Lord, man, can\u2019t you see they're all schlenters?Theyre\u2019s no law agin car rying them \u2019round, I reckon.Here, take \u2018em, and see for yourself.There\u2019s plenty of good judges in the room to help you.\u201d A very brief examination satisfied the disgusted inspector that the astute Yankee had once more turned the laugh against him.The things were \u201cschlenters,\u201d or \u201cgnyde diamonsls\u201d\u2014imitations made of glass treated with fluoric acid to give them the peculiar frosted appearance of the real rough stones\u2014which were used chiefly for the purpose of swindling the now chums and greenhorns who were making their first essays in 1.B.D.| Lipinski saw that he had \u2018\u201cdone him a shot in the eye,\u201d as the camp vernacular had it, and put up his revolver with what grace \u2018he could.The Yankee took his little triumph very quiet'y, and asked the young lady behind the kar to oblige him with a sheet of note paper and an envelope Then he wrapped up the false stones, put them into the envelope, stuck it down, ahd asked the inspector to write his name across the flap, which he did, with a peculiar smile on hs well-shaped-dips._ \u201cWaal, now, that\u2019s a bet eh?\u201d said Salter, as he put the packet into his pock- ot \u201cNow let\u2019s take another drink on it and then go home.It\u2019s getting late and I've got to pack.There's no know- in\u2019 how soon I might have to start.\u201d .The glasses were filed again, and \u2018the Yankee clinked his against the inspector\u2019s with as much cordia\u2019ity as though they had been the best of: friends, instead.\u20ac\u201d, as they were now, huntcr and quarry in a chase to the death.The next day Seth Salter openly hired a cape cart and team of four horses to take him to Bloemfontein, which is about 80 miles by road from Kimberley, and when the bargain was stuck he privately informed the driver, an off-colored.cape boy, who had made more than one run of the kind, that if he would start at midnight instead of midday, and go via Freetown instead of Boshoff, he should have £100 for that part of the journey alone, which was not a bad fare for a drive of less than an hour.The boy jumped at the offer, and within a couple of hours had accepted one of twice fhe amount, with half cash down, from Inspector Lipinski, to pull up at a certain spot about 400 yards from the Free State border.; _ That afternoon Salter and Lipinski met, as if by chance, in the'private bar of the Central, had a whisky and soda toge ther and talked over the journey with apparently perfect friendliness and fÎree- dom.The inspector affected to treat the whole thing as a joke, a bit of spoof that he was Tar to wary a bird to be taken in by.It wasn\u2019t likely that such an old hand as Salter would try to run anything but the schlenters, after giving himself away as completely as he had done, at least, not that time.Some other time, perhaps, and then he\u2019d see.At the same time it might after all be a clever and daring game of bluff, and so it would be as well to take precautions.Altogether it was an interesting situation especially for the inspector.If he caught Salter with nothing but the schlentera on him he would be the laughing stock of the camp, and if he let him go through with something £15 diamonds\u2014which he fel pat?Ket of he had planted somewhere\u2014hig J certay would be ruined and his dismiss) ation Ii was a desperate game, and Tnape vu Lipinski was Prepared to take d Dector measures to win, \u2018éperate A little before noon Ral plans, and said he oul go med bia day, and a few minutes before midpp he got into his cart just outside at consfield, The boy whipped up his and the cart jolted and Tattled = & quick trot towards the border night was dark bat fine \" spun along mile after mile or hindrance Salter began team, pa 'h and as they , without let t ink after all, Lipirski had funleq DE that, that he had laid for him, ap ne tray .;

observe! compare your rrail rroads and the buffet of the Pullman \u2014with the line from Paris, for example\u2014 and where is one?Nowhere! Actually, positively, without doubt,\u2014nowlhere!\u201d Later, at an appetizing breakfast\u2014at which to Dick\u2019s great satisfaction, the good man had permitted, and congratulate ed himself to sit at table with a free-born American, he was even more loquacious.For what, then, he would ask, was this incompetence\u2014this imbecility\u2014of France?He would tell.Tt was the vile corruption of Paris, the grasping of capital and companies, the fatal influence ef the still clinging noblesse, and the insidious jesuit!- cal power of the priests.As, for example, Monsieur, \u201cthe Booflebill\u201d had doubtless noticed the great gates of the park before the cafe?It was the preserva \u2014the hunting park of one of the grand old seigneurs, still kept up by his descend: ants, the counts of Fontonelles\u2014hundreds of acres that had never been tilled and kept as wild waste wilderness\u2014kept for a day\u2019s pleasure in the year\u2014and, look - you! \u2018The peasants starving around its + walls in their small garden patches and \" pinched farms! And the present Comte | \"de Fontoneles cascading gold on: his mistresses in Paris, and the comtesse, his mcther, and her daughter living-there to feed and fatten and pension a brood of plotting, black cowl priests.Ah, bah! Where was your republican France, then! But a time would come.The \u201cBoofla bill\u201d had, without doubt, noticed as he came along road, the breaches in the wall of the park?Dick, with a slight dry reserve, *reckoned that he had.\u201d They were made by the scythes and pitchforks of the peasants in the revolution of \u201993, when the count was emigre, or, as one says with reason, \u2018\u201cskedadelle\u201d to Englend.Let them look the next time at they burn out the chateau\u2014\u201c\u201cbet your if.\u201d \u201cThe chateau,\u201d fected carelessness.thing Yke.\u201d It was an cld affair, with armor and a picture gallery and bric-a-brac.He had never seen it.Not even as a boy\u2014it was kept very secluded then.As a man, you understand, he could not ask the favor.said Dick, with af- \u201cWot\u2019s the blamed The Comtes de Fontonelles and himself were not friends.The family did not like a cafe near their sacred gates, where had stood only the huts of their retainers, The American would cibserve that he had not called it \u201ccafe de Chateau,\u201d nor \u201ccafe de Fontonelles\u201d\u2014the gold of California would not induce him.Why did he remain there?Naturally, to goad them.It was a principle, one understood.To goad them and hold them in check.One kept a cafe\u2014~why not?One had one\u2019s principles, one\u2019s convictions\u2014that was another thing.That was the kind of \u201c\u2019air- pin,\u201d was it not, that he, Gustav Ribaud, was like! Yet for all his trugulent socialism, he was quick, obliging and charmingly attentive to Dick and his needs.As to Dick\u2019s horse, he would have the Dest veterinary surgeon\u2014there was am in | transformation.comparable one.im .the person of the blacksmith\u2014see to him, and if it were an affair of days and Dick must go, he himself would be glad to purchase the beast, his saddle and accoutrements.1t was an affair of business\u2014an advertisement for the cafe! He would ride the horse himself, before the gates of the park.It would please his cuslomers, Ha! He had learned a trick or two in free America.Dick\u2019s first act had been to shave off his characteristic beard and mustache, and even submit his long curls to the village barber's shears, while a straw hat, which he bought to take the place of his slouched sombrero, completed his His \u2018host saw in the change only the natural preparation of a voyager, but Dick had really made the sacrifice\u2014not from fear of detection, for he had recovered his old, swaggering audacity\u2014but from a quick distaste he had taken to his resemblance to the portrait.He was too genuine a westerner and too vain a man to feel flattered ati his resemblance to an aristocratic bully as he believed the ancestral De Forn- tonelles to be.Even his momentary sensation ws ha faced the cure in the picture gallery was more a vague sense that liberties had \u2018been taken with his | (Dick\u2019s) personality, than that he had borrowed anything from the pôrtrait, But he was not so clear about the young girl.Her tender, appealing voice, although he knew it had been addressed only to a vision, still thrilled his fancy, The pluck that had made her withstand her fear so long untit he had ubtered that dreadful word still excited his admiration! His curiosity to know what mistake he had made\u2014for he knew it must have been some frightful blunder\u2014 was all the more keen as he had no chance to rectify it.What a brute she must have thought him \u2014 cr did, she really think him æ brute even then, for her lock was one more of despair \u2018and pity! Yet she would remember him only by that last word, and.never know that he had risked insuit and ejection from her friends to carry her to a place of safety.He could not bear to go across the meas carrying the pale, unsatisfied face of that gentle girl ever before his eyes! A sense of delicacy\u2014 new to Dick, but always the accompaniment of deep fee!ing\u2014kept him from ever hinting his story to his host, though he knew, perbaps because he knew, that it would gratify his enmity to the fam- ly, A sudden thought struck Dick.He knew her house and her neme.Ie would write her a note.Somebody weuld be sure to translate it for \u2018her.He borrowed pen, ink and paper, and in the clean solitude of his fresh chintz bedroom, indited the following letter: \u201cDear Miss Fontonelles\u2014Please excuse me for having akeert you.I hadn\u2019t any call to do it; I never reckoned to do it\u2014 it was all jest my derned luck! L only reckoned to tell you I was lost\u2014in them blamed woods\u2014den\u2019t you remember \u2018fost\u2019 \u2014perdoo!-\u2014and then you come up and fainted! I wouldn't have eome into your | garden, only, you see, I'd just skeered by \u2018accident, two of your help, regsar softys, and I wanted to explain.1 reckon they allovied I was that man that that picter in the hall was painted after.I reckon they took me for him, see?But he ain't my style mohow, and 1 never saw the picter wt, all, until after 1d toted you, when you fainted, up to your house, or I'd have made my kalkelations and acted according.I'd have laid low in the woods, and got away without skeerin\u2019 you.You see what I mean?li was mighty mean of me, 1 suppose, to have tetched you at all, without saying \u2018excuse me, miss\u2019 and toted you out ot the garden and up the steps into your own parlor, without asking your leave.But the whole thing tumbled so suddent.And itl didn\u2019t seem the square thing for me to lite out and leave you lying there on the grass.That\u2019s why.l\u2019m sorry I skeert that old preacher, but te came upon me in the pieter hall so suddent, that it was a mighty close call, I tell you, to get off without a shindy.YIrase forgive me, Miss Fontonelles.When you get this, I shall Be going back home to America, but you might write to me at Denver City saying your all right.I liked your style, I liked your grit in standing up to me in the garden until you had your say, when you thought I was the Lord knows what, though I never understood a word you got off, not knowing French.But it\u2019s all the same now.Say! I've got your rose! \u201cYours very respectfully, To \u201cRICHARD FOUNTAINS.\u201d Dick folded the epistle and put it in his pocket.\u201d He would post it himself an the morning before he left.When| he came down stairs he found his indefatigable host awaiting him, with the report of \u2018the veterinary blacksmith.There was mothing seriously wrong with the mustang, but it would be unfit to travel for several days.The landlord repeated his former offer.Dick, whose money was pretty well exhausted, was tain to accept, reflecting that she hall never seen the mustang and would not recognize it.But he drew the \u2018line at the sombrero, to which his host had taken a great fancy.He had worn it before her.: Later in the evening Dick was sitting on the low veranda of the cafe, overlooking the white road.A round white table was beside him, his feet were on the railing, but his eyes were vesting beyond on the high moldy iron gates of the mysterious park.What he was thinking of did mot matter, but he was a little impatient at the sudden appearance of his host\u2014whom he had evaded during the afternoon\u2014at his side.The man\u2019s manner was [full of bursting loquacity and mysterious levity.Truly, it was a good hour when Dick had arrived at Fontcnelles\u2014*just wn time.\u201d He could see now what a world of imbeciles was France.What stupid ignorance ruled, what low cunning and low tact could achieve\u2014in effect, what cretans and mountebanks, hypocritical priests and licentious and lying noblesse made up existing society.Ah, there had been a fine cxcitement, a regular coup de theatre at Fontonelles; at the chateau yonder, here at the village, where the news was brought by frightened grooms and silly women: He had been in the thick of it all the afternoon! He had examined it\u2014interro- gated them like a juge d'instruction, sifted it.And what was it all! An attempu by these wretched priests and noblesse to revive in the nineteenth century\u2014tha age of electricity and Pullman cars\u2014a miserable mediaeval legend of an apparition\u2014 a miracle! Yes; one is asked to believe that at the chateau yonder was seen last i night three times the apparition of Armand de Fontonelles!\u201d « Dick started.\u201cArmand de Fonton- elles!\u201d He remembered that she had repeated that mame.\u201cWho's he?\u201d he die- manded abruptly.\u201cThe first Comte de Fontonelles! When | monsieur knew that the first Comte had been dead 300 years\u2014he would see the imbecility of the affair!\u201d \u201cWot did he come back for?\u201d growled Dick, .\u201cAh! It was a legend.Consider ifs artfulness! The Comte Armand had been a hard liver, a dissipated scoundrel, a reckless beast, but a mighty liunter of the stag.1t was said that on one of these occasions he had been warned by the apparition of St.Hubert, but he had laughed, for observe, he always jeered at the priests, too, hence this story; and had declared that the flaming cross seen between the horns of the sacred stag was only the torch of a poacher, and he would shoot it.Good! The body of the Comte, dead, but without a wound, was found in the woud the next day, with his discharged arqu:bus in his hand.The Archbishop of Rouen refused his body the rites of the church, until a number of masses were said every year and\u2014paid for! One understands! One sees their Tittle game.\u2019 The Count now appears\u2014 money! There you are.Bah!

And don\u2019t you forget it!\u201d Nevertheless, early the next morning M.Riband accompamied his guest to the railway station and parted from him with great effusion.On his way back an old- fashioned carriage with a postillion passed him.At a sign from its occupant the pos- {o the door, approached the window, and the pale, stern face of a dignified, white: haired woman of ¢ixty which looked from it.\u201cHas he gone?\u2019 asked the ladv.\u201cAssuredly, madame;

but Bill, slow in his movements as he was, proved equal to the rush, and everything was done on time, as he promised.Not only was he valuable in his working capacity, but he kept us ail amused with his constant How of anecdotes, related in his own way in a drawling voice rendered husky by years of dalliance with John Barleycorn and tobacco.He claimed to be, and probably was, over gixty years of age, and was a walking encyclopaedia of geographical information, having walked, he said, in every country \u2018on the face of the earth where the l£nz- lish language is printed.Of course he had worked in New York in Greeley\u2019s time, and was one of several thousand \u2018only men\u201d who could readily decipher \u2018old Horace\u2019s\u201d copy.Cairo, Kgypt, was one ot the out-of-the-way places he had \u201cheld cases\u201d in, and accordingly the boys dubbed him \u201cAfrica,\u201d which sobriquet he did not resent in the least.He had been with us about a week, when one merning he slouched into the ot- fice and dropped into a chair near me.For some time he putfed away at his vile old pipe without speaking, but finally remarked, apropos of nothing : \u201cTell me ye write some fr magazines, an\u2019 so on.\u201d I admitted that I possessed literary aspirations.\u201cF ye want £m\u2019 rattlin\u2019 good plots,\u201d said Bill with some ditfidence.\u201cI con fill ye full of \u2019em.Make \u2019em up when I'm drunk \u2019r on th\u2019 road.Good ones, too.\u201d \u201cYes?I said wearily\u2014for I had spent many a dull hour with that variety of bore with \u201ca rattling good plot\u201d to tell about.\u201cWhy don\u2019t you write \u2019em yourself?\u201d To Bo 3 \u2014 \u2014 am boa nan 0 Ov TE amet Stay awhile after they go t\u2019 press some night an\u2019 we'll chaw th\u2019 rag.\u201d With all due gratitude to Bill for bis kindly interest in my affairs, and the painstaking way in which he imparted to me those plots of his upon which such successful bits of lietion were to be build- ed, it must be said that his cfforts to as sist me were fruitless.Kither Bill sober forgot the principal features of the plots mapped out by Bill drunk, or his listener was singularly obtuse, and failed to see things as Bill himself saw them.At any rate, I am not going to tell what became of the three or four manuscripts in whica some of old Bills ideas were emboared.This saddened Bill and made him morose.The last straw came in the shape otf a note from an editorial friend who had published a number of sketches of mine, in which he frankly stated his private opinion that I must have an awful nerve to expeet him to read such rot, much less publish it.I handed the letter to Bill.He read it in silence, then, with some lurid profanity directed at editors in general, turned and left the office.At five o'clock in the afternoon he cane back, drunk and abusive and wanted what money was due him.[ tried to dissuade him, telling him we wanted him to stay with the office awhile.\u201cIT\u201d h\u2014\u2014] with you an\u2019 th\u2019 office!\u201d we roared.\u201cGimme my time.\u201d \u201cBut the bank\u2019s Élosed, Bill,\u201d I pleaded.\u201cWon't a few dollars do until tomorrow ?\u201d \u2018 \u201cGive\u2014me\u2014my\u2014money\u2014now!\u201d\u2019 I went out, cashed a cheque with soma difficulty, and came back and gave Bull his money.He went out growling.Next morning he came in, showing the effects of his debauch, and sat down by the stove.\u201cReady to go to work, Bill?\u201d I asked.\u201cNo; I'm goin\u201d t hit th\u2019 road\u201d he said grufily.\u2018C\u2019n ye let me have four bits?\u201d \u201cGreat Caesar, Bill! You won't quit us with all those jobs on the hook?\u201d 1 criea in dismay.\u201cMight as well.\u201cWon't be any good et I stay,\u201d he replied, with considerable firmness.\u201cDo I git th\u2019 four bits?\u201d He got it, and after shaking hands all round he disappeared in the direction of the railroad station.About six months later Bill floated into the office again.If he had been sober during the interval there certainly was woth- ing about his appearance to indicate it.1 have seen almost every variety of bum aud tramp, but in al my experience I cannot recall meeting ome of such thor- aughly unwholesome appearance as old Bill presented that morning.\u201cWie gehts, sonny\u201d\u201d he hiccoughed, cheerfully, holding out a dirty.paw.\u201cKnow me?\u2019 I surveyed him with ill-conceived disgust as I remarked: \u201cIs it possible that a bath and a barber might disclose the face and form of my old friend Bill.But now\u2014great Scott, Bill Go and get a bath and a hair cut.\u201d He took the dollar I gave him, chuckled boarsely and left, to return in about an hour somewhat improved in appearance and ready for work.\u201cSay,\u201d he remarked, as he took off his coat, \u201cI\u2019ve got th\u2019 best derned plot fr a short story ye ever heard of.T\u2019ll tell ye tnight.\u201d But alas, it was like afl the others he had given me and quite as valueless as those he subsequently imparted to me during his three weeks\u2019 sojourn with us.At the end of that time he departed in much the same manner as before.He got drunk, \u201cwent broke,\u201d borrowed a half dollar again and walked out of town.For the next three years he showed up at intervals of five or six months\u2014depart- ing as innocent of means as when he arrived, always, however, with a new suit of clothes.Never did he fail to announce upon his arrival that he \u2018had the \u2018best derned plot\u201d for a story I ever heard of.And never did one of his ideas avail me anything.A year or so after the death of the always sickly Journal, of which I had been editor-in-chief from the beginning, I met Bill in Chicago.I was then \u201cdoing police\u201d on one of the morning papers, and it was while attending the Monday morning \u201cround up\u201d at the old armory station that I became aware of his presence.As the police judge, after looking at the name on the sheet before him, remarked something about \u2018jim-jams\u201d being a more appropriate names than \u201cIjams,\u201d I glanced up, and there, in the prisoner's dock, was old Bil), looking, oh, so Vugh\u2014but with a knowing leer on his face as he recognized me.1 whispered to the judge, who grinned.\u201cOld friend, eh?William, the officer says yeu were drunk and disorderly, Saturday night.How about it?\u201d \u201cGuilty, judge,\u201d said Biil, cheerfully.\u201cM-hm.Iver been here before, WWil- diam?\u201d \u201cNot as many times s\u2019 I ought t\u2019 been.\u201d \u201cComing again?No?Discharged.Your triend here wishes to see you, William.\u201d Bill was ertirely unabashed when 1 met him at the door, and seemed greatly amused at the suggestion that he ought to be ashamed of himself.\u201cI never thought you'd come to this, Bill,\u201d 1 said, severely.\u201cFiddle-de-dee, boy! Likewise, \u2018Rats!\u2019 \u201d replied Bill, with coarse disregard for the dignity of my official star.\u201cEf I had two bits fr ev'ry time that\u2019s happened, I wouldnt be tryin\u2019 t borrow a dollar now,\u201d he continued adroitiy.He got tie dofiar, and on the way uptown umfolded to me onc of the \u2018\u2018best derned plots\u201d for a story he had ever evolved, but it was not good enough to consider, and my inanner told him so.\u201cI'll leave ye here,\u201d he said, abruptly, as we came to Van Buren street.\u201cI look too tough t\u2019 go uptown with ye.But, looky, sonny, nex\u2019 time I Jr hair curl.Undestand!\u201d We parted, and Bill made a bee line for the nearest place to get an \u201ceye opener.\u201d \u2018That was the last I saw of him for two years.Of all the ubiquitous individuals I ever ran across in all soris of out-of-the-way places and elsewhere, Bill Ijams was the onc oftenest in evidence.The next time I saw him lhe was in New York; next, I found him officiating as foreman in a little newspaper office in a Nebraska prairie town, and a year later he turned np in San Francisco, and stumbled across my path.On each and every occasion he bad \u201cthe best derned plot\u201d all ready to give nie, and, quite as regularly, nothing came of it.A few months after seeing him in San Francisco, while chatting with the editor of a paper in southern New Mexico, 1 heard a familiar voice from the door of the composing-room asking some question about a \u201cjob.\u201d Behold our old friend Bill, stick in hand, with the same old familiar one-eyed leer on his grizzled countenance.After he went out I told the editor about him.\u201cWhy don\u2019t you take the old villain out to the mine, and ftraigliten him out, if vou're going to be there awhile?\u201d asked Sherman.\u201cHe\u2019s good for years if you can keep him sober, but he nearly died after his last jamboree, a few weeks ago.Iic\u2019s \u2018about due again, by now.\u201d Just then Bill\u2019s head emerged from the doorway.\u201cSay, sonny,\u201d he remarked, \u201cI got somethin\u2019 t\u2019 tell ve, ef y\u2019re \u201cround t-night.Its a corker, sure, this time.\u201d \u201cAll right, Bill Come over and take supper at the hotel with me.\u201d Bill readily accepted the proposition I held out tu him to go out to our camp and work.He liked the prospect of a change of employment, and also that of being out of reach of his old enemy when one nf his \u201cspells\u201d came on.Sa whan 1 drove ont next day I was accompanied by this cheerful old reprobate, who scem=d happy as a boy over the cutlook.He had one or two \u201cplots\u201d to unfold too, but he did not seem hurt when TI failed to enthuse over them.* * * * * * * * Bill had been with us at White Hawk about three months, and during that time had succeeded not only in standing off \u201cthe .enemy,\u201d but in making hineelf the most popular man in camp, besides.So it was with genuine regret that everybody heard | that he was about to pull up stakes and move oa.But the roving fever had him, and nothing we could say or do would induce him to reconsider.Without his knowledge, \u201cthe boys\u201d bestirred themselves in his behalf, sad on the eve of his departure he was decoyed up to Higgins\u2019 boarding-house, where a \u201cgrand ball\u201d was being heïd in his honor.And when they presented the old fellow with a handsome watch, \u201cthis is addin\u2019 insult t+ injury,\u201d said Bill, with grateful tears in his bleary old eyes.About midnight, when the ball was at its height.came: startling news, brought in by a late arrival from the Arizona line.The notorious Kid and his cutthroat band of reds were out on the warpath, and it behooved those present\u2014the men at least\u2014 to get to their respective ranches and look after their buildings and stock.A week later found us, a mere handful of men, hampered by the presence of half a hundred women and children, besieged in garrison by a hundred or more agency- fed redskins, who had obviously succeeded in heading off couriers going toward the military posts, and proposed to starve : : ; sec ye, Pm- sure goin\u2019 t\u2019 give ye a plot that'll make - us out.And we were in a sad way.There was plenty of water, but provisions were getting distressingly low, and, worse still, our supply of ammunition could not hold out much longer, It was a very dejected lot of men that gathered together that August working in Higgins\u2019, which was our \u201cfort,\u201d and- It had come to discussed the situation, pass that unless help arrived very, very \u2018soon, we must manage to get a courier through to the fort\u2014an undertaking that more than likely meant death to the man attempting it.In this emergency arose old Rill \u201cI'll go\u2014t'night,\u201d said he, \u201cI go! nobody t\u2019 keer fr me; no chick n'r cbild.Uni nearly seventy years old, an\u2019 not long fr this world, anyhow.Course, I'm a tenderfoot, but I cn try & git.through, anyhow.\u201d\" It must be confessed, to our everlasting discredit, that we saw the logic of Bill\u2019s arguments, and the pretests against his propes:tion were few and insincere.That night, mounted on the best horse in camp wud heavily armed, Bill Ijams went cut into the darkness 16 give up what remained of his miserable, mistaken life for others.iHe must have got lost in the hil's that night, for when the reds sighted him next day he was only a few miles on \u2018his war.He gave them a running fight for several miles, but was finally hit by a stray shot and obliged to seek cover in\u2018 ahs rocks.He made a g-od fight for his ebbing Life, as the empty cartridge shells aroüud the rock where he had sought refuge amply proved.We found him the sceond day after ha left us, stark naked and horribly mnti- lated.In his téght'y cleniched left hand vas a scrap of paper, evidently overlook: ed by his murderers, On: it was hastily written: \u201cBoys\u2014They\u2019ve got me, and I can see them crawling up.Good-by \u2014Bi!.PS, Just got one.May be Nibsy can make a story out of this.\u201d ?a There was more, but it was undecipher- \u201cble, TI thought that, with his eye un ike enemy, \u2018he had tried to outline another plot.\u2014_\u2014 Recessional.(From the London Times, July 17, 18975 God of our fathers, known of old Lord of our far-flung battle-line\u2014 Beneath Whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine\u2014 Lord God of Hosts, be wits us yet, Lest we forget !\u2014lest we forget | The tumult and the shouting dies\u2014 The captains, and the kings depart 4 Still stands Thine ancient Sacritce, - An humble and a contrite heart.Lord God of Hosts, be witz us yet, Lest we forget !\u2014lest we forget!
