territory, via TZ monton.The proposed route is from Edmonton to Lesser Slave Lake, thence by the Peace and Laird River valleys to the Yukon.Mr.Frank Oliver, member of Parliament for Alberta, wires that the route is practicable tor prospectors and avoids the circuitous ute via Macpherson.He says it is well known to St.John on the Peace River, where the Indians hunt with horses.From St.John to the upper Laird country and back of the Laird to the Pelley River is unexplored, but the mountains are rounded and distant from the river and there is no doubt a practicable track ard it could be made the shortest and best possible route to drive cattle.It is important, he says, in the interest of the North-west Territories that the Government should explore and cut out a through trail {his

Annexing the Yukon District.San Francisco, August 3.\u2014There is promise of warn times on the Klondike during the coming winter and spring if the opinions of those who have been there and know the people count for anything.lt is predicted that the attempt of the Canadian Government to collect the proposed bounty will lead to bloodshed, as the miners, who are mainly Americans, will not consent to the Canadian officials taking the gold they have dug out without a battle.This feeling is not confined to Americans, but is equally strong among the Ca- usdians.Henry Dore and J.E.Boucher, two French -Canadians by birth, but naturalized Americans, came from the Klondike this season, bringing loads of yellow nuggets.Mr.Dore said in regard to the bounty: \u201cThe attempt to collect this bounty will result in the Klondike gold district being brought under control of the United States within two years, T \u201cnow well the spirit among the miners and know that this tax nwt be collected

nner with, went down to the creck, @% he washed it out.To his surpise - d séveral nuggets of gold at the bo.Æ his pan.More washings were made .ch the same result.He at once staked Out a claim and a claim for discovery.When he reported his discovery at Forty Mile very few would believe him, as his veracity, says the inspector, was not in high repute, but the sight of the gold nuggets was conclusive evidence, and the stampede to the Klondike began.On being asked if the wonderfui reports of big finds which have appeared were really correct the inspector replied that it would be almost imposs bie to exaggerate and he gave an instance wlheréghe-hiinself had actually seen one pan yield $595.The pan was an ordinary mining pan, and represented only two long-handled shovelsful of dirt.According to Inspector Strickland the Yukon gold-iMning district is what is called a winter mining country, that is the fall and winter seasons are the best time for mining operations.This he explained by saying that all the dirt had to be thawed out, and the way it is done is this.\u2014After gold is discovered they cut down a quantity of timber, which generally abounds in close proximity\u2014 scrub sprice, poplar and birch\u2014and then they burn a hole, or rather two holes, about six feat long by four feet wide, putting in- two fires in each hole during the day.Rach of these fire will probably burn out about cight inches of dirt.The water that has been thawed is first bucketed out, and then the dirt is taken out and put on the bank of the creek.This process is continued 1gail bed rock is reached.In the twé months of summer when there is always a quantity of surface water the work is very much impeded, hence the fact that winter mining is the best.The dirt that is taken out in winter is sluiced when the water is running in the summer.Continuing, the inspector said that there are probably now about 3,060 men in the mining camps.He does not anticipate that there will be many deaths from starvation this winter, but, said he, unless some means are provided to get in a large amount of supplies next season the situation may be serious as he believes the population by that time will be not less than 25,0:0.Inspector Strickland expects to leave again for the Klondike this month, starting from Vancouver about tthe 28th inst.He is going out in charge of about 25 Mounted Police and thinks he will go via the White Pass from Tagish Lake.A CHANCE FOR RIVER MEN- Thoza in the Ottawa Valley Heinz Offared Good Salaries.\u2014 Ottawa, August 3.\u2014Reports from some sections of the country show that many fariners are considerably worked up over the Klondike gold discoveries and it is be: lieved that next spring quite a number will leave their homes for the fields Agents of a leading timber firm, with headquarters in Ottawa, have been through the district recently engaging men to go to the Klondike country in the capacity of river men.he wages offered.forty dol lars per month, are cértainly small in com- prison with the inducements of ten to fifteen dollars per day offered for miners on the spot, but the prospect for employment in the lumber woods is rather unpromising at present.Under the circumstances the offer of em- pioyment in the Yukon district is being looked upon as a bonanza, and the parties financing the scheme to employ Ottawa \u201cshantymen\u201d\u2019 in the gold country are having their pick of the best river men in the district, mbt ad ii A Eman AN EARLY SNOW FALL, Winter Promises to Set in Exceptionally Early on the Yukon.Seattle, Wash, Aug.3.\u2014The steamer Al Ki, which arrived from Dyea, brings news that will be discouraging to those who expect to get to the Klomdike this fall.Ali reports indicate that; there is a blockade at Dyea, and that not one-third of the people now there will ever get over the Chilkat Pass, let alone the steamer loads now on the way.To cap it all, the cold weather has come sooner than usual.Already the first snow has fallen on the mountains near the Dyea trail and the cold wind from snow and ice is being felt.At the present time it costs 17 cents to have a pound of freight packed over the divide from Dyea.An officer of the Al Ki said in an interview :\u2014 \u201cIt will cost 30 cemts when the crowd we pasted gets there.\u201d There is no poetry in this statement.One man reached Dyea early in the season and he managed to get 3,000 pounds over the divide in one day, but it cost him $300.At the present time horses can go over White's Pass from Skawaga.There is a current idea that the round trip can be made int one day, or a little over.As a matter of fact, the round trip requires nearly three days.Horses carry 200 pounds.The steamer Queen also arrived, and reported that all indications are that there will be much suffering and many deaths on the Chilkat trail.JOAQUIN MILLER COMPARES \u2014\u2014 The Mines of To-day With Those of 1840.\u201cAlthough we have been together less than a week,\u201d writes Joaquin Miller to the New York Journal from Seattle, \u201cI have not seen a pistol aboard, heard an oath, nor have I observed any rudeness on the part of any of our passengers.And what a contrast it is, too, compared with the pioneer days of Pacific Coast mining.I am not insinuating that the old class of miners were rude or ungentlemanly, but that they were of the rough and ready sort, ever ready to resent an unjust imposition, and their big, honest hearts were as tender as a child\u2019s.Their compositions were of the most enduring qualities and were not so Hable to get discouraged and turn back, when the actual hardships really commence.\u201cSo far our trip has been like a continuous Sunday.The reserve so common Yo civiliatzion has melted away and we have come together like the Argonauts of old and formed lifelong friendships that will last for many years to come.\u201cThis was not so easy in olden times, and while this ship has on board some three hundred miners\u2014men from all parts of the world I know of and have hedrd of\u2014there is no clannishness o~ selfishness.In the olden day the Yankees kept

Crop Reports From Ontario.REPORTS EXAGGERATED.Nevertheless the Quality Will Not be Very Good.More Manitoba Wheat Will Be Purchased to Mix With the Eastern Product.Toronto, Ont., Aug.4.\u2014(Special).\u2014The reports received by the Toronto grain merchants and millers regarding the damage done by the recent rains are of a rather more encouraging nature.While without a doubt serious damage has occurred \u2018in some sections of the country, it is by no means likely that the loss will be anything as heavy as was at first anticipated.The storm appears to have confined itself ta the Southern portions of the Province.The district that has suffered the most is that around the Niagara peninsula.Kast and west of Toronto also perhaps for a | hundred miles there is considerable damage.During the continuous rain the reports sent in were almost invariably of an alarming nature, telling of crops beaten down, sprouting wheat and general ruin.But the northern portion of \u201cthe Province appears to have escaped without any great inury.Along the eastern portion of the shore of Lake Erie, the wheat was Lake Ontario it was in shock, and suffered damage while in the fleld.The quality of the wheat offered in Ontario will not be up to the usual standard this fall, and farmers may have to accept lower prices, wille another result will be that Ontario millers will have to purchase more Manitoba wheat than usual to mix with the Ontario AMILLION DOLLARS SPENT IN STREET CAR FARES IN TEN MONTHS.That Is What Montrealers Paid to the Street Railway Company, Tore Ty on TYEE In ten months Montrealers spent over a million dollars in street car rides.To be more precise, the exact amoynt was $1,081,366.73, and this compared with the amount spent last year is an increase of nearly $70,000.The biggest of any of the last ten months was June when the company raked in $130,676, or $14,243 more than they took during the corresponding month in 1896.The average daily

through a Wabash official, who was in town yesterday, that before the close of September \u2018the Wabash will run a line of freight trains between here and Buffalo over the G.T.R.tracks.It is estimated that the road can take out ten or more trains a day, which will be quite a cut into the business of the eastbound Tines out of Detroit.It is said that the thing was practically settled when the pas penger arrangement was made recently, and that it was agreed the Wabash was to use the G.T.R.terminals in Buffalo.When the line is formally opened it is expected that am immense quantity of freight will be shipped through to the cast as far as Buffialo from Chicago and St.Louis., McGARVEY COMMITTED.Man Who Fintered Warden Metcalfs House Has a Record, Kingston, Ont., August

measures.The police, without warrants, enter private dwellings, at all hours of the day and might, ransack them, seize property and march the owners off to prison on the most trifling or utterly

dismissed with costs the appeal of the city of Mont- veal against the decigion of the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench of Lower Canada, in favor of the Standard Light & Power Company.The Standard Light & Power Company was ineorporated by the Legislature, which empowered it to lay wires and pipes underground in so many streets, squares, highways, lanes and public places as might be deemed necessary for the purpose of supplying electricity ad gas for light, power and heating.By section 6 of the act it was provided that the municipal council in any city, town or incorporated village, if they deemed it necessary, should have the right to oversee and prescribe the man- wer in which such streets, roads and highways should be opened for the placing of wires underground.The Lachine Rapids Hydraulic & Land Company, which ob- tamed a controlling interest in the Standard Company, prepared to lay conduits in the city under the latter\u2019s act of incorporation.When, however, the company started work it was prevented from proceeding by a squad of police under Superintendent Hughes and City Surveyor St.George, who represented the city.- The company thereupon applied for and\u2019 obtained an injune- tion from Acting-Chièf Justice Tait, enjoining the city to cehse interfering with the work of the men.The injunction was confirmed by the Court of Appeal, and the company proceeded with its work.The city, however, decided to test the validity of its claim in the In *2-ial Privy Council.In the Court of Review the questions epe- cially raised were whether the Legislature had jurisdiction to grant the powers which the company sought to exercise, and if they had been actually granted those powers.Affirmative answers were given to the first two questions.As to the latter the court held that the company was clearly entitled to proceed with its work.Mr.Justice Wurtele was very explicit in delivering his judgment.The company, he said, had been in communication with the City Surveyor, and had given all proper notice of its intention to open certain streets, and was consequently not bound to wait the pleasure of the city, which saw fit to ignore the rights of the company.RHODES AND BEIT PAY UP.Between Them Bear the Cost of the Transvaal Raid.Se an orn rr me ey London, Aug.4,\u2014~The Morning Post understands that Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Beit, a former member of the board of directors of the British South Africa Chartered Company, have paid the Transvaal Govegment £250,000 as indemnity for the Jameson raid.It has been believed for several months that Messrs.Rhodes and Beit would hear between them the entire cost of the raid, the legal expenses of Dr.Jamesou\u2019s trial and the indemnity to the Transvaal.As Mr.Rhodes\u2019 profits for the year ending last May are known to have been about 500,000 pounds sterling ($2,500,000), and as Mr.Beit had also one of the best years, neither of them is likely to be ruined if the report stated in the Morning Post is correct.GOLD FIND IN SIBERIA London, August 3.\u2014The Daily Chronicle says to-day that a Russian expedition has discovered twelve auriferous regions along the banks of the rivers Artichs, Lautara

Black Hills Related by Mr.Bethune.One Montrealer who wil go to the Klondike gould fields next spring has already had some interesting experiences in mining camps, has taken over $50,000 out of the ground, has been regarded as one of the future millionaires of a gold-seekers settlement, and has seen the whole of his ae- cumulated savings lost and himself reduced to poverty.Mr.Roderick Bethune at present employed by the Montreal Toilet Supply Company was all through the stirring times of the Dakota strike in the Black Hills, and what he dees not know about mining is scarcely worth kuowing, \u201cAnd yet perhaps I wild have been better off if I had never gone mining at all,\u201d be said to a Herald reporter this morning, \u2018for althongh I made more than $50,000 in the Black Hills, I lost every cent of it foolishly buying up claims, which I expected woud make me a millionaire in a short time.But the claims didn\u2019t pan out, and I not only lost the $50,000, but also all my little savings which were the result of many a hard year\u2019s work before I ever saw the mines.\u201d There were other things besides hunger to fear during those days in Dakota, and every gold-seeker had to keep his eyes open for fear of Indians.| A BATTLE WITH INDIANS.Mr.Bethune brushed the hair from his forehead and placed his index finger on an ugly-looking sear.\u201cThat was made by an Indian bullet,\u201d he said, quietly.\u201cA close shave?Well, I should think it was.Tell you about it?Certainly.\u201d \u201cWhen we found that it was farm or starve, a number of us left the mining camps and started to stake out farming claims.We finally came upon what we considered was a suitable location, and started to drive in our pegs, when we were surrounded by a mob cof infuriated Indians who made us understand that they claimed the land as part of their re- reservation, We sheered off and went Lo see \u2018the Government agent about it\u2014 and I might say that it is that blooming government agent to whom I owe this sear, for he told us that we were al right, and that the land was not near the reservation.Then we determined to stick to our claims, and gathering a party of about 75 men went and again began to stake them oîf.Scon a mob of 400 Indians came along and à great pow-wow ensued.The Indians ordered us away a second time, but we dil not go.Things got hotter and hotter, and finally developed into a pretty savage scrimmage.Shots were exchanged.Four men on our side were killed outright, besides myself and many others being badly wotnded, The Indians fared even worse than we did.Well, sir, we were \u201csome\u201d read afterwards when we learned that the agent was wrong and the Indians right, and that we had been trepassing on the reservation,\u201d LYNCHING BEES.\u201cAy, it was a great country when I was out there.If I had only kept a diary ot all my experiences there it would make mest interesting stuff.Oh yes, we used t> have a lynching bee every little while.A man was lynched for most nothing in those days.No; I won\u2019t tell you anything about them; I don\u2019t like to even think of them.Lynch law may now and then appear better than our tardy laws, but sometimes a little too just._ \u201cNow, I don\u2019t want you to think that Black Hills at that time was a lawless community.It was not just the same as Montreal, but it wasn\u2019t so bad as it might have been.True, we had plenty of showoit- ing affairs, but that was nobody\u2019s businens, but the participants.There were no such things as regular duels.Not much ! it was pull and shoot and the quicker the better.A row meant death for somebody, and it was only those who were reckless and tir-d of life that wought trouble.No, T never had any trouble with anyone, during the ten years or so I was there.If a man carvied himself decently he was no more likely to get into trouble than he would ba in Montreal.\u201d \u2018Mir.Bethume has travelled over a good part of this contiment.Once he walked from Port Arthur to Winnipeg.That was b~fore the time of the mailway in that re- rion, and he had no other route to follow but an engineers trail.He did the distance in eleven days, and justly comsiders it a wonderful feat.Mr.Bethume exprets that by next spring he will have some friends fo accompany him to the wild Nor\u2019-West.A CHANCE TO INVEST.\u2014 Prof.R.Carr Harris Thinks He Can Double Anybody's Money.Kingston, Ont., Aug.4.\u2014 (Special.Prof.R.Carr Harris, and two sons, have started for the Klondike.He was the late engineering professor at the Royal Military College.He met Inspector Strickland at Calgary, and was comvinced of \u2018\u2018the good chance to make money\u201d in Klondike.It will cost $1,000 to travel and stay a year.He writes that he will accept investments telegraphed him to the Bank of Montreal, Vancouver, before August 12th.\u201cAny sum s0 sent I will be as careful with as any of my own money.\u201d he said, \u201cand I will endeavor to double it for the benefit for who ever sends it.I do mot expect to do more than double it in the interest of the person sending, and the risk must be their own if any logs oceurs.I think that under the circumstances of the risk and outlay of myself goïng into the Klondike for twelvle months, mostly winter, that any surplus profit should be my own.\u201d Prof.Harris is now at Similkamen River at the Granite Creek placer mines, where a \u201cclean up\u201d is mow going om.MAY BE 1 I-2.TALK THAT C.P.R.DIVIDEND WILL BE INCREASED, Directors to Meet on the Ninth to Take Action\u2014Gocd Business.On the ninth of the present month the directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway will meet to declare a dividend for the halt year.Just what the dividend will be is a matter of much speculation among the stockbrokers and business men in general.The remarkable increase in the company\u2019s business has naturally created a feeling that the rate will likely be larger than last year, while on the other hand there are some who still believe that the aereetors will adopt more conservative methods aud hold off a bonus until the end of the year.They will then be better able to judge the position of the company, and also know just exactly how the crops and mining interests turn out, the believers in a 13 per cent.dividend on the ninth are pleased at the continued rood earnings, and point with great satisfaction at the last net statement, which was certainly a good one.The earnings of the company from July 21st to July 3lst were $667,000, against $C02,000 for the corresponding period last year, a gross gain of $65,000.The belief in an increased dividend naturally tends to strengthen the stock on the exchanges.In London yesterday the shares touched 74, and the feeling on this market was inclined to be quite bullish.THE FERRY Between Laprairie and Montreal, Under Discussion, Minister of Public Works to Be Seen in Reference to Building a Wharf at Point St.Charles.At the monthly meeting of the Council of the village of Laprainie, yesterday, the question of an improved steamer service between Laprairie and the city was discussed.It was moved by Mr.H.Bros- sard, merchant, and carried, that fresh efforts be made to secure the realization of the project of a ferry service from La- prairie ta Montreal via Point St.Charles, It was decided to draw up a petition which would be forwarded to the Minister of Public Works through the member for the county of Laprairie-N¥pierville, Mr.D.Monet, asking that an anmediate survey be made of the channel and that the necessary dredging and work of providing needed facilities at Point St.Charles be commenced as quickly as possible.A delegation will also wait upon the.Mon.Mr.Tarte for the purpose of urging him to give the project his approval.The scheme has the support.of all the farmers in the Laprairie district, including the counties to the south.It is also pointed out Phat an improved ferry service between Montreal and Laprairie is called for on account of the large summer passenger traffic between these points.At present there is no boat from Montreal leter than a quarter past si.STOLEN

LATEST TORONTO REPORT, Probable the Whole Matter Will Be Investigated.Glanders uf the Pustular Variety Have Often Been Taken For Smallpox, Toronto, Ont., August 4.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The latest rumor in regard to the smallpox case here is that it is not smallpox at all, bus glanders in the pustular form.When the case was first discovered the officials of the Richelieu Company had doubt as to its being small pox, and requested Dr.Rior- dan to examine the man Whitney.Dr.Riordan communicated with Dr.Sheard, city medical health officer, who assured him positively that an examination would be useless, for there could be no possible doubt that Whitney was suffering from smallpox.With this assurance Dr.Rior- dan had no alternative but to be satisfied Dr.Osler, the physician in charge of the smallpox hospital at Montreal, during the epidemic there, and now professor of the Johns Hopkins University, in a work on \u201cThe practice of medicine,\u201d states that glanders in the pustular form have been mistaken for smallpox, and that he knew of an instance during the epidemic of a case being isolated on the supposition that it was smallpox.It will be remembered that Whitney came over in a cattle ship.Tt is felt that the matter ought to be settled without doubt, and the only way to do it is to appoint a committtee of doctors to examine Whitney.In the meantime all the quarantined passengers are in good health and spirits.HALF-WAY HOUSE CASE.Another Adjournment For a Week Was Made To-Day.\u2014 The now famous Half-way House case of Mr.Charbonneau was again before Judge Dugas

counsel for Mn Charbonneau, claimed that Mr.Markey was postponing the case from time ta time Tor reasons oË lis own.He wanted the case to be heard now.His Honoi Judge isugas.remarked that the pres had said too much about matters of thit case that were just pending.He thought - there should be some law against mows papers publishing details of cases that were not definitely settled.Mr.J.A Drouin, on behalf of the Provincial Government, stated that he had received in structions from Hon.Mr.Marchand and another Minister to go on with the Gow ernment cases and had therefore nothing to do with the

clannish indeed, as I remember, and huddled pretty much together for a great many years.But the New Orleans people, gamblers and lawyers, were clannish to the very last.\u201cIn these and like things, judging from my short observation, there is a noted improvement over the Californian miners of early days.These Klondike fellows are more approachable and of good breeding and easy address.I have heard a good many say that this is owing to what is generally regarded as the rigid and strict enforcement of British laws.As an American citizen, reared and educat®d upon the sun-kissed slope of the Pacific Coast, I shall not subscribe to any such assertion, and I am free to say that I believe it is due to the broad principles and interpretation of what constitutes good, able American citizenship rather than what is termed respect or fear of the British laws.As for the miners and the class of people in the Yukon, I know nothing; but I am going there to find out.WILL HURRY THROUGH.\u201cAbout myself?Well, that\u2019s another story.I hope to go straight through to the head waters of the Yukon and then down the streams and lakes as fast as possible to the mines.I am requested by the New York: Journal, on arriving at the mines, to leave off the handle of my name and apply for work, the same as any other old California miner would do.\u201cI am expected to work at anything I can get to do for a few weeks, sharing all the hardships and privations that other miners endure.I shall report the facts as I find them, the character of work, how easy or how hard to.get, the supply of food, and all the available information about the placer mines.\u201cI am taking with me forty pounds of provisions, which I expect to carry on my back over the mountains.I shall have twenty pounds of bacen, twelve pounds of sea biscuit and one-half pound of tea.My equipment will consist of one pair of blankets, a rubber sheet, and a mackintosh, some rope, and a sail to rig on the raft which I expect to.build.My hardware consists of a small axe, a handful of nails and a jackknife.All of the cooking uten- ells, ete., IT will have consists of a big sheet iron cup.It is my intention to make the trip.entirely alone, but of course this may be qualified or modified according to subsequent conditions._ \u201cRest assured that Ï am not seeking hardships or doing this thing for fun.I expect to go through to the head.of Yukon River down to the mines, from there to St.Michael\u2019s and back to San Francisco, which will be done as scon as I can learn fully about the Klondike: country.Tt will be my endeavor to show the less fortunate gold seekers, I mean the poor man, just how small an amount of money a man requires to reach the mines and something about work and wages.\u201cMy present ideas are that the hardships have been greatly magnified, and that there js a disposition.to keep the poorer classes of men out of the mines, for a while at least.I know that was what we did when we.discovered the Idaho mines in 1862, and.afterward in 1863 and 64 in Montana, and I aim inclined to believe: that is what is being done now in the Klondike.It is only human nature for every man to want to get his friends in before the rush comes.\u201cNow, understand distinctly that I know nothing about mines or the character of country or the havdships to be endured in the locality of Klondike, and I would not permit myself to advise any one to go there busted.If ¥ find the hardships great T shall say so, and if I find the mines limited in area or riches I shall state the plain, unvarnished truth.And if I cannot\u201c go through-on my short and rather abbreviated bill of fare I shall say so, but I feel in great spirits, and \u2018hope to do the poor miner a good turn by my own example and experience.\u201cI want to show them, too, that there is no need for whiskey en route or at the mines.Personally, L am not a teetotaler, \u2018and through all of my manhood, like most Westerners, I used wines and liquor rather generously, but, of course, I have nothing of this sort with me now and T shall cer- tainlv not touch anything of the kind in the Klondike, because in the first place it mav not be of the very best quality, and, hesides.I want to show the miners who are inclined to over-indulgence that it is not necessary in that cold climate.Of course, to be aure.T may fail in many of my plans, but I shall endeavor to do the best I can, and.in conclusion, the Bible says: \u201c \u201cLet him who putteth on his armor not be rash with him who pulleth it off.\u201d \u201d Experienced as he is in mountain climbing, possessing sharp, bright and penetrating: eyes.constitution \u2018of iron.and a will \u201cpower of steel, he does not underestimate the hardships that might be encountered, and as .a word of advice from the standpoint of an old-timer tn the inexperienced, he sounds the word of caution\u2014\u201cBewara, zo slow and don\u2019t set excited.\u201d To use his own werds: \u201cBe like Grant; don\u2019t be in a hurry, and if vou start out tio do a thing, \u2018do its if it takes all summer.\u201d That was \u2018to emphasize the necessitv of caution and the necessity of carefully looking after vour supplies before starting.Many neo- ple going to the mines exercise exceptionally peor:-judemert, so IT am informed, by \u201cimproperly proportioning the food and outfit of clothes.Bpeaking of Joaauin Miller, he has the avnearance of an old-timer in all hut cone thing, and that is n weakriess to which all Human nature is liable.~ On the Tittle finger of the right hand he weard a Tustrous diamond ring, the stone of which is ns Jarre oi a Dea.It creates a vast contrast with the character he is assuming, and the ora weak noint of human mature is the desire to exhibit beautiful diamonds.mare SHORT ROUTE TO KLONDIRE, \u2014\u2014 Jd.G.C.Lowis Tells of a New Way to Reach the Gold Region, Washington, Aug.3.\u2014There is a shont and easy.route to the rich gold fields of the Klondike, according to a communication to the Interior Department from J.G.C.Lewis, a civil engineer of Salem, Ore., who says he can open up at\u2019 small expense a route from the mouth of the Copper River, by which the Klondike may be reached by a journey of not much more than three hundred, miles from the coast.The route which he proposes would start inland from the mouth of the Copper River, near the Miles Glacier, about twenty\u201cfive miles east of the entrance to Prince William -Sound.He declares the Copper River is navigable for small steamers for many miles beyond the mouth of its tributary, called, on the latést maps, the Chillyna River, which is itself navigable From the head of mavigation on the or a railroad could be constructed without great difficulty or very heavy grades through what the natives call tho \u201clow pass,\u201d probably the Scclloi (Pass.From this pass the road world follow the valley of the White River to.the point where it empties into the Yukon, on the edge of the Klondike gold fields.George FF.Beeker, in an unpublished report made to the \"Geological Survey of his investigation in 1895 of the coastal gold districts, says that most of the islands of the Alexander Archipelago contain gold deposits, yet unworked, that would prcbab- ly repay very handsomely well directed efforts of placer mining.WILLAMETTE BROKE DOWN.Had an Accident 200 Miles Out-United States Mint Taking Gold.On San Francisco, Cal, August 3\u2014The steamer Willamette, which.left here on Saturday for Alaska, broke down yesterday about two hundred miles out.Her mishap was reported by the collier Pro.gresso, which passed her Sunday afternoon and arrived here to-day.The Willamette declined assistance.The disabled steamer was originally a collier, and was hastily transformed into a passenger boat to carry gold seekers to Alaska.She was fitted with bunks for one thousand passengers.About threa hundred gold humters were taken from San Francisco, and the steamer will stop at Seattle, Washington, where seven hundred more passengers will exhaust her carrying capacity.She will be delayed in reaching Seattle, The story sent out from Port Townsend, that the steamer Portland, en route to St.Michael's, had been lost, is uritrue.The rumor that the Portland had been wrecked caused consternation in Portland, as there were on.board about four hundred passengers, most of whom were from that city.The United States Mint opened this morning, and Yukon miners deposited their gold for coinage.It is estimated that at least $300,000 was deposited to-day, and that more will be turned in to-morrow.This gold has been kept im deposit vaults, and its exact value cannot be ascertained until the government assayers report.Four stedmers will leave this city tomorrow for the north, mainly for Juneau and Dyea.All their berths are engaged, and more could be sold.A large number of pack amimals are also being taken up to be used to transport goods over the various passes.Co Mr ree ANOTHER RICH GOLD FIND.A Letter to Marquette, Mich., From Dawson City.\u2014 Marquette, Mich., August

work, suffered in his own person ev ery disease described, except housemald 8 nee.Dr.Spitzka's young woman confined her imugined aliment to a single disease\u2014ab- dominal tumor.She became thoroughly £a- miliar with: all the symptoms of this dreadful malady and promptly imagined herself the victim of it.Her sufferings were intense, and her friends became convinced that her worst fears were justified.The physicians in attendance, however, were decidedly sceptical.Her youth and the absence of certain proofs convinced them that the case was one of hysteria.After exhausting all the usual means the doctors determined to consent to the per formance of a dangerous operatlon for the removal of tae tumor, The girl herse'f was carefully prepared for the operation for several days, The room In her own residence: in wach it was to be performed was stripped of wall.paper, carpet, and prepared with hospltal-like cleanliness and resul .bareness.The surgeon, with hls assistants and the trained nurses, came upon the scene.The girl was carried into the operating room, ln which, contrary to the usual practice, gll the surgeons\u2019 knives and paraphernalia were spread out in full view of the pa- + tlent, The physiclans and tralned nurses stood around the operating table upon which the girl lay.She was then carefully etherized.Three hours later, when she was allowed to recover consclousness, she was too weak to raise her hand, She found herself carc- fully stitched up with elaborate and cum- bersvine surgeons\u2019 dressings, and she knew that a deep lucision had been made half the length of her body.She felt the irr!- tation of the wound, and the fading day told her that she had been \u2018three or four hours under the intuence of ether, perfectly unconscious.She was thankful to ind herself allve, although she felt like the ghost of herself.In two weeks the result was all that the clever physicians had anticipated\u2014she was completely cured, The speclaisst told her azaln and again how remarkable was her escape, and requested as a privilege that he might describe in ler presence Lo several youug physicians the operation which had been performed, showiug them, at the same time, dow completely the wound had healed, The young woman consented lo go io a private hospital for that purpose, accompanied by a member of her family, anda With a veil wirown over her face she agaln took her place on the Operating table in à private clinic, 10 enabie the surgeon iv liustrate to his class the difficult operu- tion which had been performed with such happy results, Lhis time there was, of course, no ether, and the patient heard described all that she had undergone, \u2018Fhe lecture being fin- Ished she was escorted from whe clinic by the grateful phys.cian, who speedily returned to his admiring class and said: \u201cGentlemen, this cure was ellected exactly as I have described to you.There Is only one detail that I have oiuitted.No Operation whatever was performed.While lne patient was unconscious an incisivu din ea, through tie outer muscle, barely stitehed y the wound then caretuliy D as though the body had been indeed opened.lhe aperiration from

contract in course of preparation which calls for one other armor:d cruiser of 10,000 tons.\u201cBut these do .not constitute the entire preparation the ambitious Japanese are making to take care of themselves in the event of trouble.They have four torpedo boat destroyers of thirty knots speed, and similar to the British destroyers of like speed, building at Yarrow; four others just like them at Thorneycroft, and one more at Schiehau.Then work is being rapidly pushed at Normand on four tar- pedo boats; at Schiehau for eight, and on tour more of the same type of vessel at Normand.\u201cAdd to this list the two cruisers now building in this country, two more in France and two in Germany, and vou can readily see that the Japanese Government isn\u2019t letting the grass grow under its fect as far as a mavy is concerned.\u201d PORTRAITS FOR CHATEAU.Many Interesting Additions to Mont real\u2019s National Portrait Gallery.manera The Chateau de Ramezay lias been enriched recently by the presentation of several interesting objects, and many more are promised.A life-size portrait of Ue Salsberry, painted by Mr, Donald McNab, of Montreal, has been presented by him to the Chateau, and through the generosity of Mr.James Morgan a copy of a portrait of General Wolfe has been ordered in England.According to a letter to Mr.W.D.Lighthall, vice-president of the society, from Col.Warde, of Squerryes\u2019 Court, Kent, in whose family the picture has !,zen handed down from the days when Wolfe wa: à family friend of the Wardes, this is the only portrait taken during the lifetime of the hero.Photographs of Quebec House, Kent, and other spots connected with the general are about to be sent \u2018to or- traits of Montcalm and of Levis are also being arranged for from originals in France, as well as one of the Countess of Fron- terac from the Palace of Versailles, and one of Pere Olier.Mr.J.H.Isaacson, notary, has presented a striking picture of his father, whose name as \u201c\u2018Dolly,\u201d of Dolly\u2019s Chophouse, is affectionately remembered by older citizens as one of the landmarks of past days.A fine Louis XV.caleche, from Portneuf, in its wriginal coat of yellow and red paints, stands on exhibition in the vaults.The ladies\u2019 branch have presented the society with a catalogue of the museum, entirely prepared by thems selves.They have also greatly improved the appearance of the grounds, and are cortemplating the decoration of one of the rooms in Louis XIV, wainscoting and tapestries, THE HARBOR BOARD.New Representative of the Chambre de Commerce.The Harbor Commissioners met yesterday afternoon.Mr.Joseph Contant, the newly-elected representative of the Cham- hre de Commerce, was introduced by the retiring member, Mr.Morin.He was placed on the finance committee, and Mr.Lemay on the pilots\u2019 committee in place of Mr.Morin.The chief engineer reported that the 100-foot extension to the wharf at the East End, which had been asked for, would cost about $8,100, and that two months would complete the work.The question regarding granting permission to the C.P.R.to lay water pipes acrose the Board's property was laid over, Mr.Kennedy suggesting that general re.gulskions should be drawn up to govern such grants.The long-disputed question of the boundary line betweeen the property of the Board and {he Grand Trunk Railway will soon be settled.The surveyor for the Board has received instructiors to define the boundary line as soon as possible.The pilot committee will meet this afternoon to discuss the case of Constant Tou- pin, the pilot who ran the Derwent Holme ashore, CHINESE ATTACK A MISSION, The Report Was Started That Missionaries Had Killed a Child.- \u2014 San Francisco, Cal, August 4.-\u2014Chiness advices by the steamer Belgie state that on June 9th the Chinese at Vuchon attacked and destroyed the mission of the Plymouth Brethren and were about to at- teck the Catholic mission when the soldiers interfered.The attack on the Plymouth mission was brought about by the report that the missionaries had killed a child.A mob of Chinese attacked the Ladies\u201d Home Boarding School, where five white women had \u2018taken refuge.Just as the mob broke in the door the women escaped through a back gate to the house of Mr.Blaneford.The mob demolished the Ladies\u2019 Home, and then procecded to the Blaneford place and attacked it.The people there escaped into the hills, where they hid all night in the darkness.The Blane- ford place was also looted and burned.The mob then rushed to the Catholic mission, but by this time the soldiers had been summoned and they dispersed the rioters.The next day five women and Mr, Blane- ford were taken away on a boat, VETERAN FIREMEN.\u2014\u2014 A special meeting of the Montreal Veteran Firemen\u2019s Association was held last evening to reconsider the action of last meeting about having an annual picnic.In the absence of the President, Mr.David Bickerstaff, vice-president, took the chair, There were a large number of members present.In the absence of the secretary, Mr.James Knox, assistant secretary, took his place, and read the minutes of last meeting which as read were confirmed.On the motion of Mr.Cairns, seconded by Mr.Richardson, after considerable discussion, pro and con, it was decided that the miction of last meeting to have no picnic be confirmed.The motion to appoint two new honorary members at last meeting was cancelled.A motion was unanimously carried: \u2014 \u201cThat the members of the Association who have uniforms turn out im a bod during one of the days of the exhibition, and any member who does not turn out to be find.The day of the turn-out to be decided later.\u201d a dg } BODY FOUND FLOATING:

Use It, The finishing touches were put on the new Westmount Emergency Hospital yesterday.It is now tarred and supplied with disinfectants, so that at any crisis it will he ready.Many families in town have been vaccinated.Large numbers of people are worried over the suspicion that their family doctor may have visited the smallpox patient before calling on them.This may be disarmed hy the best of scientific precaution.Whenever the doctor goes rear smallpox he is usually gowned in a rubber ulster, which is thoroughly impervious to contagion, and by the aid of creo- sene solution on the covering, after being in the presence of the patient, the remot- esi danger of carrying the disease is banished.The cellar for the new store just west ot the post-office is being dug.A fine place of business will be erected there by Mr.George H.Archibald, The opening of the two new streets, Grosvenor and Roslyn streets, has caused a boom in the sale of lots.Choice places are obtainable on these streets.The new Bel] Telephone Exchange builà- ing at the corner of Metcalfe avenue and Sherbrooke street is nearing completion, and will be ready for occupation about September 1st.The Park Calendar, which shows the month and the day in green foliage, is a very attractive feature.It js changed daily, and Roadmaster Robertson hit upon a good advertisement for the town when he originated the scheme.There are still wheelmen from Montreal who forget that they must carry lamps when in Westmount or risk the penalty of arrest.The Westmount authorities made this by-law necessitating lamps for the sake of their citizens, and are determined to see that it is enforced, PERSONAL, ! Mr.and Mrs.D.Gilmour, Dorchester street, returned yesterday morning from St.George\u2019s, N.B.Lieut.-Col.and Mrs.Sweeney returned from St Anne\u2019s yesterday.Mr, Frank A.Cundill, of New York, who has been visiting his parents on Greene avenue, has returned home.Mr.D.H.Girouard, Olivier avenue, has returned from Point au Pic.Mr and Mrs.George H.Archibald and Miss Ethel Archibald have gone to East Northfield, Mass., for a short holiday.Mr.George H.Massey and family, Dor- chester street, have left for Saranac Lake.Rev.W.T.Graham, pastor of Grace Baptist Church, left this morning for Lac Masson, near Ste.Agathe, for a well- earned momth\u2019s rest.Mrs.Samuel Greenshields, Clarke avenue, has gone to Loon Lake for a holiday.Dr.and Mrs.Elder and family, Sherbrooke street, have returned from Old Orchard Beach.Mrs.(Captain) MacMaster and the Misses MacMaster, sisters of Captain MacMaster, have gone to Summerstown.\u201d Prof.W.Chalk, of the Westmount Academy teaching staff, has gone to Quebec.Mrs.W.W.Craig and Miss Mabel Craig, Dorchester street, has returned from a trip to the Queen\u2019s Jubilee in London.Dr.Robert Craig has gone to Berlin to take a post-graduate course in that city.JUBILEE STAMPS:- Hon, Mr.Mulock's Issue Undoubtedly A Great Success.Ottawa, August 3.\u2014Mr.Mulock\u2019s idea of issuing jubilee stamps has been successful beyond the most sanguine expectations Besides being a pleasing feature of the jubilee year it will add close on a quarter of a million dollars to the revenue of the country, and has increased the ordinary correspondence of the Dominion to a con siderable extent.The Postmaster-General has now decided to authorize the issue of vartial sets to meet the demand from all quarters for souvenirs.Every accounting post-office in Canada will be supplied with partial sets from a half cent up to fifty cents and from a half cent up one dollar, the distribution amongst the offices being made in proportion to the volume of business of each office.This will be a popular announcement.This allotment will prae- tically exhaust the rarer jubilee stamps, but there will probably be about 30,000 of these partial sets, so that every one who desires to spend fifty cents or one dollar for such an interesting souvenir will have an opportunity.The issue of these partial sets will probably begin some day this week, probably on Thursday.The demand for complete sets has been very large, about 9,000 sets having already been issued, and as a sufficient number will be reserved to meet all legitimate demands this figure will reach 10,000 before the year is out, representing $160,000.To show how widespread the demand has been the department has received an order from Moscow, in Russia, enclosing $100 for jubilee stamps and another of $60 from Constantinople.An order was also received from the staff commander of HM.8.Rodney in the Mediterranean and another from a captain of artillery in France.It was expected that the issue would meet all requirements for at least three months, but the indications are (hat it will not.As the number was limited by public announcement in Parliament, and as the plates are to be destroyed in a few days, jubilee stamps will in the near future be a thing of the past.A very handsome portfolio, enclosing a complete set of the stamps, arrived at the department to-day, and after the Postmaster-General affixed his signature it was forwarded to the Duke of Norfolk, the [Postmast eneral Engin, aster-General of ee IN A RATTLER'S EMBRACH.\u2014 Shandaken, N.Y, August 4.\u2014Qertie Schmidt, a pretty, seventeen-year-old girl of Galveston, Texas, who is summering In the Big Indian Valley, near this place, may die from the effects of a snake bite that she received Sunday.As the girl stooped to pluck some flowers a large rattlesnake darted from a bush some distance above her and tell on her back.As she arose the snake coiled about her neck.Seizing the snake by the head the girl essayed to free herself from its tightening coils, but unsuccessfully, and then the fangs of the reptile pierced her arm.The girl screamed for help.Before assistance came another snake approached her.The second rattler she stamped to death.Just then Thomas Burns arrived and killed the first sngke.Burns sucked the poison from Miss Schmidt's arm and gave her whiskey.The girl\u2019s condition is critical.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Binding, Blank Book, Magazines, etc.None better in the city.Once a customer, always a customer.« Herald Bookbindery., -

but, as far as we can see, the present \u201cindependent\u201d system possesses all the disadvantages, without the advantages, of that which we advocate.| If our public men were as unscrupulous as our contemporary fears they might prove, the Department of Public Instrue- tion might long since have become a \u2018\u201cpolitical machine.\u201d No one pretends that the simple creation of a Ministry of Public Instruction will at once raise to the desired level the standard of primary education in this Province.But it is believed that it will be a step, the first and most important step, in the right direction.It is not a revolutionary measure; it is a simple reform, demanded by common sense, and in keeping with the spirit of the day.It is not denied that those charged with the direction of educational affairs in the Province of Quebec have in the past labored earnestly and not altogether in vain.It is expected that they will continue their labors, and the advocates of the reform are confident that the proposed change will bring more fruit from their labors.It is to be hoped most sincerely that the educational measures ot thé Marchand Government will be discussed in the House without reference to party divisions, and that the best interests ol the rising generation will be the only con sideration.om canines trs lie ct THE SEAL CONTROVERSY.Those who think that England's attitude of forbearance and conciliation toward the United States may, by the people of that country, be construed as an unmanly indication of anxiety to avoid an actual rupture, and that the effect will be to increase the insolence of its representatives, are, we hope, mistaken.Should it be, however, as they fear, there will be no great causa for alarm.Suavity and firmness are not in- The hand of steel may be hidden in ja silken glove, and if England humors our neighbors\u2019 whims in minor matters, ignoring their blustering impertinence, it is not likely that she will the compatible.more easily be cajoled or intimidated into making serious concessions.England will never go to war with a country because certain of its Icad- ing men are ignorant of the cle ments of courtesy; aud if the people of the United States are gratified by periodical displays of such ignorance, the bumiliation The United States has never shown, in its interntaional dealings, is not England\u2019s.much of what is summed up in the wom! character, and Tngland\u2019s forbearance in the course of the seal controversy may well be the result of hier consciousness of | power, making her believe that she can afford to ignore insults which a weaker nation might resent; this, along with a genuine concern for the preservation of the seal\u201dherd in the Behring Seas.Both nations have the same ultimate ob- joct in Yiew, and it is difficult to excuse the irritation! of one of them, because the means \u2018which it believes.most suitable for obtaining that object are mot adopted.1t does not appear that England\u2019s acceptance of the conference proposal is a retreat from her position; but, if any result in the shape of additional information and better mutual understanding can be reached by such a conference, it is in every way desirable that it should be held.When England really docs concede an important point it will be time enough for the American patriot to give vent to his exultation; but meantime it would be in better taste if certain newspapers and politicians in the United States should curtail their offensive utterances in this as well as in \u2018ather matters.\u2014 OWNERSHIP OF CITY STREETS, The city\u2019s appeal, in its suit with the Standard Light and Power Company, has, as everybody expected, been dismissed by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.The right of the company, under its gharter, to lay pipes and conduits in the siréets of Montreal, and \u2018to opm the etreets for the purpose, is thus affirmed by the highest tribunal of the Empire.The case, we believa, was simple enough, ond should never have been carried to Fngland.The Quebce Legislature had exprésaly given the company the right to lay pipes in streets without obtaining the consent of the municipality controlling those streets.That scemed clear enough.The city, however, contended that the Legislature could not give to a private company, or to an individual, powers which clashed with its natural right of control over its highways; that tha city owned its streets, and could not be troubled in its ownership.This contention was rejected by the courts cf this Province.Any rights or powers which the city possesses \u2018have been conferred by the Quebec Legislature, aud what that body, which is sovereign within the limits of its jurisdiction, has given it can, at will, modify or take away.But certain aldermen, who know the law\u2014or seem to fhink so\u2014bet- ter than the city\u2019s law officers and the judges of our courts, decided that the case should go to London, and to London it went witli the result of a substantial increase in \u2018the bill of costs against the city.Ce It is regrettable that so many city cases should be taken from court to court in \u2018this manner, and, indeed, in many in- stanecs, that they should ever come into court at all.Numerous claims against the city ave contested for no apparent purpose other than to gain time, with heavy additional expense resulting.In the case in point, the Legislature gave to the company certain rights, and whether they be more or less extensive, the courts can only uphold the company in its claim to the enjoyment of those rights; the remedy is mot in an appeal to the higher tribunals, but in efforts to have the objectionable legislation modified by the hody which alone has power to alter it.The decision emphasizes the necessity, in the city\u2019s interest, of the closest attention being paid at Quebec, every ses sion, to every private bill as it leaves the rinter\u2019s hands, The Standard Light and Power Company would probably not have obtained all the powers it now exercises if the cify\u2019s representatives had been mote vigilant.\u2014\u2014 2010 Sota Sarid \u201cIt would be wiser on the part of our English confreres mot to get so much excited.They are again raising the ery of alleged \u2018I'rench tyranny\u2019 because there is some talk of improving the Montreal har- ber at some other place than Windmill Point and of appointing a new city attorney who will not be an Englishman.It becomes worrying in the end, and scarcely anvbody now takes in earnest those denunciatory complaints marked with really too much narrow selfishness.\u201d \u2014La Minerve.We.are not aware that any of the city English newspapers have become exgited over these matters; mor are we conscious of having become so ourselves.The cry of \u201cFrench tyranny\u201d \u2018has not been raised, and we should be sorry to impute to our French-Camadian citizens as a whole motives which inspire a few of their re- presentativeg, \u2018The English papers of the city have discussed proposals of harbor improvements on their merits.Can our French contemporaries say the same ?We have never objectzd to Mr.Choquette be- | cause \u2018he is not an Englishman; but we did protest against making any important changes in the law department at such a season of the year.If changes are necessary the subject demands serious study.The nfatter wds assuredly not urgent, and to endeavor to pass the proposal at a special meeting of tha Council, summoned during the vacation, and at short notice, was nob creditable, The Hamilton Spectator wants to know whether The Herald will allow it to \u2018\u2018object to the formation of a new Quebec in the Canadian North-West.\u201d We will give it the permission it so dutifully asks for if it really.thinks there is the remotest chance of a new Quebec being formed as a result of Mer.Langevin\u2019s colonization scheme.But can\u2019t the Spectator make its objection with somewhat less of bigotry and ill-nature than it usually displays towards this Province ?.Te The silver in the American dollar is worth only forty-four cents\u2014the lowest price on record.Yeb the price of wheat is steadily climbing.Boy Bryan\u2019s aphorism that \u201csilver and wheat go hand in hand\u201d was not 4fue when he uttered it, and sufii- cient evidence has accumulated since to convince the most devout Bryanite of its falsity.In enumerating the causes which led it to change from an independent to à party newspaper the Belleville Sun used the phrase \u201cand other weighty reasons.\u201d The The public will readily recognize the Star's right to speak with authority on this matter.Winnipeg Fair managers inaugurated an American day this year, with the result that it brought to the city between three and four thousand people who had never been thought of before.Hereafter \u201cAmerican Day\u201d is a fixture in Winnipeg fairs, Our morning contemporary is welcome to the use of the French-Canadian poem \u201cTaurier the Great,\u201d with or without credit being given.THREADS AND THRUMS.The girly-girly summer girl is very much in evidence on boats and out-of-town trains.She is wearing a blouse most Jike- lv.and some variety of gaudy tie, a wonderfully made and fastened belt, a host ot jingle-jangles on her chain or watch-guard, and a hat, the beginning and end of which it is not given to the uninitiated to under stand.How gay she is when she sets out ! How she talks and talks and talks! What an interest she has in the scenery\u2014 any scenery\u2014and what an agitation the whole atmoephere around her is in as she fusces and laughs and chatters and asks questions.There were many such going uv the Ottawa River yesterday morning, and when we boarded the boat later in the day, after a pleasant visit of a few hours, our frisky, giddy girly-girls seemed all limp and listless.One had been having a nap.The rest lolled in their chairs.Their braids aud twists and puffs and frizzes were battered and fuzzed out; thew bangs were unbung, and their nice, fresh shirt-waists had lost some starch and looked as draggled as shirt-waists and children\u2019s white dresses can look after a moist bréeze has becn uttering theur for a whole day on a boat.When we set out one of the gay giris was giving a fair share of attention to a very young cavalier.He was a pretty boy with a merry, round face, and he tried ta be as interesting as he was interested.Tt worked for a while, but the grown-up girly-girl had to do most of the talking and louking in eyes, and the arrangement did not work well, for on the return journey they sat, disconsolately, far apart.The varieties of people are almost as many as the varietics of noses.The sick folks off for a few lungfuls of fresh air take their medicine bottles and plenty of wraps and sit in the shade and out of tne draughts and away from the noise, and are very comfortable, and take little interest in anything.| The young man with a dapper air and a kodak went out from Montreal alone, met friends on the way, was taken possession of by a nervous young person 10 gray, who ta'ks incessantly to him and gesticulates wonderfully and continuously.He leoked very happy, though, as, at the end of the day on the return trip, he waved adieu to *\u2018papa\u201d\u2019 and \u201cmama\u201d and all the little ones, plus the little person in gray.The people who are off for a day\u2019s holl- day are usually sedate at first and gradually thaw out to a feeling of ownership in the boat and enjoyment of the sky, air and water, Those who are making it only a day\u2019s journey in a holiday of weeks or months, have already been tuned up to enjoyment pitch, and get the benefit of it all.Among the crowds I thought I saw those whose brief holiday had come to an end, and who, a little out of sorts with a work-wday world, were coming back to office and shop and house.It was a day of coy sunshine and many clouds\u2014gray and steel and tawny brown.Far up at the zenith there were little patches of \u201cmackerel\u201d sky and behind them the cold blue that told of cooler weather after the rain to fall in the night, if not before.(I am quite safe in telling about those clouds and their meaning; for my predictions have \u2018been fulfilled.) Summer people are very good to see, with {heir brown happy faces and their look of wind and weather, their look of the big outdoor and the grandeur cË a simple life, My ears ave full of the music of the pine needles in the wind.To me there is nothing quite like that music.Oak and elm and maple leaves may stir,and yet they only flap and rustle.The great arms of the pine thrill as the wind comes.The slender boughs bend, the tips sway and swing, and the needles dart through the air, and splinter it, till it falls whistling, moaning, sobbing, crooning, sighing on your cars; or it ripples like water over stones, or it sings in an undertone like a girl with a secret happiness in her heant 3 and it is music and memory and past and present.MADGE MERTON.WORKMEN SOUGHT WORK, Otitawa, Aug.4.\u2014About seventy-five workmen who have been thrown out of employment through the stoppage of the asphalting of Wellington and other streets, this morning waited on Mr.J.H.Dwyer, at whose instance the injunction was issued, to demand work, but Mr.Dwyer evaded them and sought the protection of the police.There is a great deal of indignation amongst tha merchants of Wellington Street whose business is seriously interfered with by the suspension of work for an \u201cindefinite period, and a large crop of law suits will probably be one of the results of the injunction, .A Successful

again demanded payment.Jt is supposed that Beech managed to turn the subject for the time being, for the two men loft the Deech house together shontly afterwards and proceeded to Peloquin\u2019s hotel where a number of persons saw them take one drink together, and noticed that Beech was more friendly in his manner towards Last than was gencrally the case when these two met.After standing torethier for some little time outside the hotel, Beech turned to Last and was overheard to ask Tim if he would not take a walk with him in the woods, Last assented, and the two men were seen to walk around the curve by the electric car track, and enter the thick grove iw the pienie grounds, generally known as Electric Park.WAS TT À DESPERATE PLAN ?XV uat happened in the woods no one will know until Last is

sent him in to the hospital m charge of one of their number, He is very weak this afternoon and hangs between lis and death.Beech has not boen seen by anyone in Bark River since he went into the woods
