[" THE HERALD, MONTREAL, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1800.CRIMINAL CODE BEFORE SENATE Clause to Compel Delivery to the Government of Plate Rolls and Dies, Am SPECIFIC APPLICATION fn Flogging for Burglars Caught With \u201cWeapons in Their Possession.\u2014_ KIDNAPPING NOW DEFINED, rena, A).ran Ottawa, June 24.\u2014(Special.)\u2014-In the Sen- ste yesterday Sir Mackenzie Bowell called the attention of the Minister of Justice to vewspaper reports that the Attorney-Gen- eral of Ontario had granted a fiat to American lumbermen holding, timber Tim- its in Ontario with a view to testing the constitutionality oË the law @nposing an expont duty on logs cut on those limits.Of course, as the Dominion (Government had allowed the law, he concluded that they were favorably disposed towards it.He wanted to know if the Dominion was party to the suit.; Hem, David Mills knew nothing more about the matter than what he saw In the newspapers.The fight was with the Trovincial authorities.Sir Mackenzie Bowell remarked that the na tier might interfere with the Donvnion customs rights, and he supposed that the Minister meant that the Governinent would watch events and then act as they Buy necessary.Senator Primrose drew abtention to a paragraph in a morning paper in regard te ibe usury bill, stating that the Senste thourae usury was a legitiniate business To this he took exception, as 1t miscepre- sented the attitude of the committee.The coymittee had the strongest possible sympathy with the spirit of the ball, but deprecated hasty actron.The House then went into committee on the Loan Companies Bill.Hon.David Mills introduced two new paragraphs.giv: ing companies power to transact business outside the Dominion.These were adont- ed.He them proposed an amendment giving companies power to have offices cr agencies in Great Britain or elsewhere for the transfer of stock.This was adopted.The bill as amended was reported, and the amendments were concurred in.The Criminal Code.The House went into committee on the Crinunal Code Amendment Bill.A now clause governing the cuüme of kidnapping and to take the place of the old clause was proposed wy the Minister of Justice, who explained that the main intention was tc separate the crime of false imprisonment froin that of kidnapping.The clause «as adopted.The clause covering the crime of poligamy was amended to rectify a clerical exror in the present law.The libel clause was amemded by niaking it criminal to publish matter of or concerning any person instead of, as present, to any person.The clauses relating to burglary were amended by subjecting any person found with offensive weapors on him when caught in \u2018the act of burglary tu the lash and additional imprisonment.The folowing new clause then came up for consideration: \u201clveryome is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to \u2014\u2014 years\u2019 impriscnment or to a tine nol exceeding -\u2014 dollars, or to both, who, having 1n his posscssion any plate, roll or die made for the purpose of printing or engraving Dominion motes, or any stamps, impressed or adhesive, to be used for revenue purposes by \u2018the Postoitice Department, or any other department of the Covernment, or made for whe purpose of printing or engraving any part of any suci Dominion note or stamp, fails, neglects or aefuses on demand to deliver the same to the Minister of Finance for the time being or to any person authorized by the said Minister to demand and receive the same.\u201d Hen.David Mills said that he intended to add to this clause, \u201cbut nothing in this section contained shadl prejudice any claim which any such person may have against Her Majesty in respect to the said notes, rolls, plates or dies.\u201d He said that in most contracts \u2018the cost of these plates was taken inte account in the engraving, and they were given up where the com- tract terminated.No one had any use for these plates who had not a contract with the Government.eM Mr.Burland\u2019s Case.Sir Mackenzie Bowell thought this was one of the numerous bills introduced this session directed at one man.had arisen between the Government and the old contractors for the priating of stamps.From the evidence placed in his hands it appeared that the Postmaster- freneral demanded from the old rontract- or the dies and plates, which Mr.Bur- land said belonged to him, but he was willing to give them up if the Government would pay for them.Mr.Hozg had consulted the Minister of Justice, who admitted the claim, and yet Mr.Burland had been refused a fiat to sne for the amount he claimed was due him.è A THIN DISGUISE.The cuttle fish has a tricky habit of tovering his tracks by exuding an inky fluid which discolors the water and keeps him out of view.There\u2019s a good deal of the cuttle fish about some advertisements, notably those purporting to offer medical advice by a woman to women.An examination of the advertisement will show that no offer of a doctor's advice is really made.And all the clamor about \u2018\u2018 writing to a woman\u2019 is merely raised to divert attention from the fact that a doctor\u2019s advice is not really offered and cannot be given.The real question is not of writing to a woman or a man but of writing tow doctor, For the advice of an unqualified woman is just as dangerous as the advice of an unqualified man.Every day adds to the number of women who take advantage of Dr.Pierce\u2019s genuine offer of a consultation by letter free of cost.As chief consulting physician of the Invalids\u2019 Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N.Y., Dr.R.V.Pierce has, in a practice of over thirty years, treated more than half-a-million women for female troubles with the remarkable record of ninety-eight per cent.of cures.Sick women are invited to consult Dr.Pierce by letter, without fear and without fee.Every letter is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential, and all answers are mailed sealed in plain envelopes without printing of any kind upon them.Dr.Pierce\u2019s Favorite Prescription makes Weak Women Strong and Sick \u2018Women Well, A difliculty Hon.David Mills\u2014He was not refused.The matter is in abeyance.Sir Mackenzie Bowell said that the correspondence furnished him said that the fiat had been refused, because the Minister of Justice did not like to go against the wishes of his colleague, the Postmas- ter-General.He thought the principle of the bill a good one, but considered that an exception should be made in a special case.Hon.David Mills was surprised at the argument used by the leader of the Oppo- gition.Every amendment to the original law was made from a special case.There wis no intention of sending Mr.Burland to gaol, not unless tlhe dies were given up there was nothing to prevent these plates being used to the detriment of Canada to the extent of tens of thousands of dol ms.It would be a crime for Mr.Burland to use any of these plates, and they were no further use to anybody but the Government.He stood morally in the same position as a man with dies for counterfeiting in his possession.It was claimed that Mr.Burland, under his contract, had lithographed stamps instead of steel-engraving them.There was a vast difference in the price of these two kinds of work, and thousands of these unused stamps were in the possessior< the Inland Revenue Department.No matter whether he was compensated for the dies or not, it was the duty of the Government to compel him to give them up at once.Supposing the American Bank Note Company, which was now doing the work, lost the contract, should they be allowed to keep all the dies, plates and rolls in their possession?Senator Macdonald (B.C.)\u2014That would depend on the contract.; Hon.David Mills did not think so.No Government could contract away the rights of the Crown.In this case a dit- ference of opinion existed between Mr.Mulock and Mr.Burland as to the interpretation of the contract.A fiat would be issued to him if he delivered up these dies, and it would not in the least jeopardize his right to compensation.Senator Macdonald\u2014If Mr.Burland held on to the plates unlawfully, what means would the Government take to recover them?; Senator Ferguson\u2014Civil proceedings, ot course.Hon.David Mills\u2014Not at all.Tt would be the case of a counterfeiter.The committee rose and reported progress, and the Senate adjourned.EL ammeter CALLA FLOATED THIS MORNING fesse armee The steamer Gallia was successfully floated this morning,

Conference.London, June 24.\u2014The pressure of applications for admission to the International until July 5, has been so great, that it was found necessary to change the place of meeting to the large Convocation Hall of Church House.An interesting featare will be the attendance of Chinese delegates.The Countess of Aberdeen, the president of the Council, has becn notified by the Chinese Minister oi the appointment of the wife of Shen, an attache of the Chinese Legation, as an official delegate.She will be accompanied by an interpreter an dtwo other Chinese ladies, and will be attended by Dr.Kang, who took a medical degree in America, and Miss Kang.A crowd of American women of all protfes- sions will be in attendance.Baroness Von Suttner, who has taken an active part in the work of the Council, has just arrived here from the Hague.She said to a representative of the Associated Press yesterday evening: \u201cI am most hopeful of practical results from the peace conference.I have already won notable support in Austria, bunt it is to the great country beyond the s&a that we look to as the propagandist of peace.I deplore, and so do many Americans themselves, the necessity of appealing to arms last year.But, we are not a peace-at-any-price people.We believe a righteous cal Ito arms is still \u2018a necessity of the age, but it is- impossible for me \u2018to believe there will be any future great resort to arms among civilized people.After the splendid awakening of the Czar and with the Anglo-Saxons in the van of the peace movement, nothing in that direction is impossible.\u201d : fr TRY TO IDENTIFY HIM B\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Canadian Secret Service Sends Operator to View Boston Suspect.Belief

mysterious thieveswho looted the Merchants\u2019 Bank of Canada of $3,500 recently, that he has sent one of his operators to New York to identify, if possible, the suspect now held by tho New York police.The Canadian Secret Service is in possession of a fairly accufite description of the men, and the present attemnt has fair chances of resulting in the detection of at least one of the long

suffered from the heat.The infantry drill was counsidercd to be ve simple and was enjoyed by the various companies, The brigade attack on Fort George was very neatly done, and the men deserve great praise for their fine work.\u2018 The artillery had a short drill this morning on foot, which was considered to be very heavy, having to pull the large guns by hand; later in the day they had drill with horses and guns.To-morrow morning the 56th and 59th Battalions will parade to Fort Missassauga for target practice.The 56th has in the last mew years been un at the top on target practice and

MONTREAL, SATURDAY, JUNL 24, 1899.FOUR LIVES LOST IN MINE DISASTER \u2014 War Eagle Miners Killed by an Unexpected Explosion of Dynamite, remet DRIFT WAS NARROW, Confined Space Makes Results of an Explosion Terribly Disastrous.en STORY OF THE SURVIVOR.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Rossland, B.C., June 24.\u2014Another terrible accident occurred in the War Eagle mine batween 10.25 and 10.30 d'clock yesterday morning, in which four men were killed, two instantly, and the others a short while after being brought to the surface.The accident was the consequence of an explosion caused by an overlooked shot, in which about two sticks, or a little aver a pound, of powder had been left.Charles Lee, Mike Griffin, Charles Sturgess and Charles Coulson, drill- men, and Dan Green, mucker, were working in the west drift on the 62 level, one hundred feet from the shaft, having gone to work at 7 o'clock.Lee and Griffin were working one machine, and Sturgess and Coulson were working another.About twenty holes had been put in th: face of the drift.The hole in which the explosion occurred was in about 16 inches and could not have held much more than a couple of sticks of powder.It is supposed that the ccncussion of the drills started the powder and caused the disaster.The cut hele in question was blocked on Wednesday night and was drilled by the same shift which was at work when the explosion occurred yesterday morning.The drift in which the men were working yesterday morning is from eight to ten feet wide, and owing to the confined space, the slightest ex- plcsion woud be disastrous.The fatal explosion was heard by a number of men working on the same level.Rush to the Rescue.These men understood that an accident had occurred, as this was not the time for the firing to take place, and they at once ran to the spot to learn what the extent of the accident was.They were met by Coulson, who was the least injured of the party, and who, numb and bleeding, was staggering forward towards them.He told them what had happened, and word was at once sent to headquarters and aid asked for.The foreman immediately went with a force of men.The smoke by this time had cleared from the drift, and the four injured men were found lying ou the ground covered with broken rock.This was cleared off and: they were carried to the hoist and taken to the 250-foot level.Two of them only\u2014Griffin and Green \u2014gave any signs of life, and it was evident that they could not survive.They were then taken to the surface where Drs.Kenning and Bowes, wo by this time had arrived, took them in charge.Sturgess and Lee were found to have been instantly killed, and Griffin died while being carried past the Centre Star ore bins on the way to the hospital.Green reached the hospital alive, but little hope is held out for his recovery.Coulson, who was also ta.en to the hospital, has a number of bad flesh wounds, especially rrom the woist down, but is not dangerously injurca.With the exception of (\u2018oulson, who is an old-timer and a Rossland man, the shift was composed of men very recently employed, and as far as k:own are unmarried men.Lee and Griffin came from Butte and Sturgess from Coeur D\u2019Alene.Green is known to have a brother at Leadville, Colo, and it is understood that he came here from there.Coroner Bowes will hold an inquest at 2.30 p.m.Daniel Green, the fourth victim of the War Eagle decident, died at 4 p.m.He was conscious until a short time before his death.The Survivor's Story.Charles Coulson is the only survivor of the five men.He was seen to-night at the \u2018hospital.His right hand and arm are badly cut up, but he will recover all right.He says he never lost his senses after the explosion.He warned the shift to clear away the debris over the holes shortly before the accident, but the rest of the men said not to mind, and went on.Two holes had been drilled since 7 a.m., and Coul- so and his partner Sturgess were at work drilling a third, and got in two feet six inches when they broke into a missed hole and the explosion hap- pcred.Coulson cannot explain his escape.He was direotly in front of the missed hole, and should have suffered even mora than the others.His miraculous escape is on a par with that of Crooke, the only survivor of the previcus accident in War Bagle six weeks ago.© OH, MY!

GRAIN CARRYING ON TEE LAKES.The building of lake vessels of 500 feet in length is the latest step in the problem of carrying the grain of the West to the \u2018Atlantic seaboard.Mr.B.E.Walker, of Toronto, recently alluded to the failure of Canadians to \u201ccarry our own products to the European markets, where they are consumed\u201d and the absence of transportation and terminal facilities which would enable us to do so as \u201ca national shame,\u201d and there can be no doubt that with the yearly increase in the volume of Canadian : exportable produce this view is becoming more and more accentuated in the minds of Canadians.Mr.Robert Meighen, of this city, came back from Manitoba yesterday, confirmed in the belief that in another gcore of years the Canadian Northwest will be exporting as much wheat as is now exported from the United States, a statement by no means impossible of realization.And it is saying only what everybody in Canada believes, to say that we should make whatever provision is neces- gary to insure that grain going to Europe through Canadian channels.The first step to this end is to see that it is consigned from Fort William to a Canadian port.Once grain has been consigned to Bu!- falo, Canadian highways know it no more.The initial stage of the problem that has to be solved, therefore, and the sooner the better, is the getting of the grain to Port Colborne, Parry Sound, or Midland, and preventing it going to Buffalo.Once that has been accomplished, the rest is easy, as the rates for carriage through to Liverpool by way of Montreal from these points can more than hold their own against rates by way of New York.Mr.Walker suggests that Canada ought to hawe \u201cmore inland ships and on entirely new models.\u201d Meanwhile, there is increased activity in American shipyards, where larger ships are being yearly turned out for the already well supplied lake trade.It is only a couple of years since lake vessels 300 feet in length were considered to be leviathans.There are now building four ships which will be 500 feet long.ffhey are to cost $350,000 each, and are intended for the ore-carrying trade, which is every year growing in volume.In a very few years the shipments of Lake Superior iron ore have grown from seven million to fourteen million tons, and the end of the annual increase is nowhere in sight.The competition among shipbuilders to produce the cheapest carriers for ore will naturally result in a displacement of really excellent vessels, which will be admirably adapted for thé.grain-carrying trade.It is difficult to see how Canadian vessels can compete against this state of things, unless, indeed, a ship can be designed especially for the grain-carrying trade which will have some economic advantage that cannot be gained by the large ships.The question has often been raised whether swift steel steamers that could make the whole voyage to Montreal without breaking bulk might be able to hold their own, or better.It is a problem for the shipbuilders.At present, it is clear, the grain is not coming to Montreal from Fort William, and although there are a certain number of Canadian ships, it is evident that they cannot coms pete against their big Amefican rivals.A prominent member of Parliament is said to have made the statement in a recent conversation, with a Canadian shipowner that there are not enough Canadian vessels to move the Fort William grain.He was at once told that there are plenty of vessels, and was referred to a prominent Montreal grain merehant, to whom some of these wessels had been of- _ fered.The grain man was obliged to decline the service on account of the rates being too high, and the shipowner closed a contract for their use out of Toledo instead of seuding them to Fort William.As the shipowner remarked, he is not in business tu carry Canadian grain for its own sake, but to make money, and his vessels could make money by coming through the canals from Toledo, whereas they could not do so by loading at Fort William under the existing rates established by the big ships running to Buftalo.The view taken by the Toronto Mail and Empire is that the presence of so many large wessels on the lakes increases the importance of the ports on Georgian Bay, which are deep enough to admit the largest of them.It is always necessary, of course, fo consider the possibility of securing return cargoes.From Buffalo there are large cargoes of coal to be had, while it is difficult to see what freight could originate at Parry Sound to offset this.It is as well, however, not to assume that this constitutes a necessarily insuperable barrier to the Georgian Bay ports entering the competition.The total volume of freight moved west is less than one-fourth of that moved east, so that, considering the arduous competition there must be for westbound American coal, ships running to Georgian Bay and saving considerable distances might be able to hold their own.The volume of freight mowed eastward through the Sault Canals up to June 1 this year amounted to 2,365,806 net tons, while going westward there were only 542,262 net tons.It must not be forgotten, either, that Canadian ships plying from Fort William to Port Colborne, at the head of the Welland Canal, would be able to load coal at Buffalo for the Canadian west.Obviously there are difficulties to be overcome in securing the movement of the grain of the West, but the advantages of the St.Lawrence route are sufficient, there can be no doubt, to ultimately solve the problem in the way Canada is determined to solve it.eee MR.BLAKE AS AN OBSTRUO- TIONIST.Hon.Edward Blake will probably be a prominent figure in the British Parliament at its next session, if he adheres to the scheme of action he has publicly laid down.Mr.Blake and Mr.Thomas Sexton were, as is well known, the leaders of the Irish side in the dispute about the financial relations between Treland and Great Britain, a dispute whith has brought all sections of Irishmen in the House of Commons to a temporary understanding.Mr.Sexton is now out of Pariiament, and the burden of the work has fallen on Mr.Blake.In a letter to the secretary of the Financial Reform Association, Mr.Blake reiterated briefly his conviction that they have the right side of the argument, adding that to succeed in obtaining the necessary relief, \u201cwe must be bold, importunate and unremitting.This question should be brought up on the address, and ventilated on every possible occasion, and in every possible form, throughout the session.The vast recent increases in Imperial expenditure are parts of a policy of expansion and insurance of British trade, in which, unhappily, Ireland has but a trifling share.Even if tolerable and justifiable in the case of Great Britain, they are (so long as the present fiscal relation is maintained) intolerab¥e and unjustifiable in the case of Ireland.Accordingly they should, on this ground, be strenuously and constantly resisted.Persistent attacks upon the swollen and swelling estrmates will be more effective now than any full-dress debate.\u201d Here certainly is ample opportunity for Mr.Blake to demonstrate his ability as a parliamentarian.Anyone who remembers the fight on the Franchise Bill in the Canadian House will be quite satisfied of his ability to play the role if he undert.-kes it, and he is not the kind of man to make go explicit a declaration as the foregoing without having deliberately made up his mind to see the thing through.\u2014_\u2014 THE CONVENTION OF RAILWAY ACCOUNTING OFFICERS.The annual convention of the American Association of Railway Accountants which will, for the first time, be held in Montreal next week will serve the excellent purpose of drawing attention to a branch of railway work of which comparatively little is known by the public.And yet the work of the comptroller, auditor or accountant of a great railway system, call the office by what name you please, is among the most important in a great railway organization.The Canadian Pacific Railway Company recognize this fact, for it will be observed that on the new folder issued by the company after the recent changes the name of Mr.Ogden, the comptroller, appears high in the list.Mr.Ogden, who by the way is the chairman of the local committee who have charge of the arrangements, in con- rection with the convention, is the supreme head of the largest executive branch of the service.Under his direction are the auditor of disbursements, auditor of passenger receipts, auditor of freight and telegraph receipts and the freight claims\u2019 auditor, each with a staff of clerks under him as large as that of a great banking institution.The main object of the Association, which consists of some 400 highly paid railway officials, representing all the principal railways on the continent, is to discuss and deliberate upon the principles of railway accounting with the object of assimilating as far as possible the systems adopted on the various Tai ways.The modern accounting office of a great railway is a development of recent growth.Perhaps no department of the railway service has had so long and discouraging a struggle for its proper recognition.When Edgar Thomson had got enough of the Pennsylvania railway \u2018built to set up a regular operating organization he called his assistant Herman Haupt, who later became General Haupt, the great engineer, and sent him over some of the little railway lines that in those primitive days of railroading were in existence in Massachusetts, to look into their methods of reports and accounting.From these General Haupt drew up bis own system and out of this has grown the great accounting office of the Pennsylvania Railway.When General Haupt became superintendent he turned the accounting over to a subordinate.In other systems the auditor was the subordinate of the treasurer.No arrangement more ludicrously illogical could be devised.Yet this for a long time was the plan on the New York Central, and the idea is perpetuated in the United States Government auditing offices which arq@ under the Secretary of the Treasury.Short shrift was made in those early days of the auditor or accountant who had the temerity to conceive that his functions were of any importance.On more than one of the great railways of to-day the accounting, until a few decades ago, was little more than keeping the treasurer's cash book.No moneys were accounted for until they had passed into the trea: surer\u2019s hands and the only liabilify entry was the disbursements.Blunt old Commodore Vanderbilt, who made so many precedents in railroading on this continent, had little use for anything more than the cash book.Nor are those times zo far removed.Only within the very last few years a Maryland road was discovered to have no more accounting than this; but on the great systems, such as the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk, the accountant has left the days of the cash book well behind, if indeed they ever existed.That the evolution has been slow is due in part to the entirely new conditions which extended operations have brought about and partly to the accountant himself, the effect of whose environment and mental occupation was to confine his view and withdraw hitn from the large conception of railway operations.He was essentially a man of details, and | THE HERALD, MONTREAL, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1899.details that too frequently had little relation to general principles and were ac- ocrded little weight by railway men.It is the business of the auditor to review the acts of others.His functions are essentially judicial.They demand the power of weighing evidence.It is true that the conception is only very indifferently entertained.In too many cases the auditing is conceived to be no roore than the mere routine checking of additions and extensions on statements of accounts that are accepted on the basis of designated signatures which the auditor has not the authority to challenge.The accounting officers who will make the Windsor Hotel their temporary headquarters on Wednesday next are in the ma- icrity of cases designated auditors and this may to some minds suggest the question, \u201cwha* is an auditor?\u2019 The auditor is the custodian of inventories and records of the company.By embodying a transaction in his record he places the final seal upon it and incorporates it permanently with the property as an asset or liability.It follows of course that he must assign a description to and determine the relation with reference to the property as a whole of receipts, disbursements or transfers of any kind whatever.Hence he must be capable of discriminating between a proper charge to revenue and a charge to capital account.He is the only proper judge of the powers delegated to the several departments by the by-laws.All accounts within the respective powers delegated to each department are within his province to survey, to measure against general approved standards and to call into question and to intelligently describe and to measure them.In movements affecting such parts of the property as are directly negotiable, cash for example, the organization is so adjusted that his records must be first made and the seal of approval is given by him before the movement is authorized.Thus no dis bursements of cash are made except upon kis order.It follows that his authority necessarily extends to questioning or refusing approval of grossly improper charges regardless of what authority they come from.He may decline to authorize a price from the purchasing agent, an irrelevant contract by the chief engineer, a grossly unnecessary expense by the transportation department, or perhaps even a confusedly reckless policy by the traffic department.The auditor is called upon to certify to his records of which he is the custodian and in order to do this properly he ought to be in a posi- i tion to verify them from actual knowledge.It is in this sense that the accounting officer is the comptroller.There is not a single act throughout the length of the entire property that affects the values of the property or changes the form or location of any parts, but should be re- pcrted to him in order that he may im corporate its effect on his records, which are the ccunterpart and description of the physical property.Such are among the functions of the railway auditor and it is obvious that they offer a wide field for observation and consultation and it can hardly be doubted that the meeting which opens here next week will result in much mutual advantage to the members.rete AMERICAN CONSULS IN CANADA.If the American authorities fail to negotiate a treaty of reciproarty with Canada, it will not be for want of urging on the part of their consular agents in this coun- iry.There are plenty of suggestions along that line in the reports included in the quarterly volume just issued from Wash- mgton.The agents mearly all have most optimistic views of the present conditions of trade in Canada and still more optimistic opinions of what might happen if tar- ifi barriers were to be removed on both sides.Mr.Bettinger, consul-general at Montreal, remarks that \u201cthe course of the trade of the United States with Canada has for some yearns been one of expansion.A year's operation convinces me that the largest reciprocity in trade practicable should be arranged for by mutual reductions of duties on mamy amticles.It is more convenient for Canadians to purchase in the United States than from any other country; but Lo obtain \u2018their custom to the fullest extent, they must be allowed to enter their products into our markets without excessive duty.\u201d The consul at Chat- ham reports that the Dingley tar{l, while at first a detriment to the Canadian farmer, has not been without ita benefits, having driven him to engage in diversified farming.Ie reports, moreover, that the expression frequently heard, \u201cLet us show the United States that we can get along without her and her goods, wares and merchandise.\u201d The consul at Moncton reminds bis Government \u201chat \u201cour tariff is apparently a great harrier ito exporting either raw or manufactured materials to the United States.\u201d The consul at Woodstock, N.B., remarks, on the other hand, that \u201cwhile the prevailing Canadian tariff is in force, it is impossible to record any startling growth of United States trade in this district.\u201d The consul at Sydney, N.S., reports that \u201cfrom replies received from agents connected with this consulate, and from my personal observation, I am fully of the opinion that the high duty imposed by the Canadian tariff on imports into this country from the United States is the reason for tile small amount of business transacted.The merchants and business men of this section,\u201d he adds, \u201cwithout exception, exprels themselves as desiring closer trade relations.\u201d The consul at Windsor, N.S., referring to a question asked of him in the department's circular, says: \u201cIn other words, the people of the United States are interested in finding a foreign market which will relieve the home market of ils surplus.Other things being equal, our best market is found among a people like cur own, a people of kindred tastes, wants, fashions and education.In this respect ithe Canadians, especially of this Province, are like the people of the United States.The people of Nova Scotia are of Anglo- Saxon stock, English-speaking and distine- tively more American in \u2018their tastes, culture, aud fashions than English.In fact, nearly half of the people here are connected by blood, marriage and business with the people of the United States, and consequently there is no prejudice against our markets or products, but, if anything, a preference for them.\u201d And later om he adds the wholesome reminder that \u201cthe South Sea Islanders, whose omly article of clothing is a cheap cloth tied about their loins, wil never be as good customers as these Canadians, who purchase from us spirit in his section is summed up in the |try.\u201d The consul &t Sherbrooke, while pleading for more advertising and commercial travellers, complains that \u201cthe chief obstacle i the high Canadian tariff,\u201d and adds that a reduction in the tariff rate would result in a large increased export of lumber to the United States and a ocorres- ponding increase in reciprocal trade.\u201d The consul at Three Rivers says \u2018\u2018the agricultural interests of this district advocate any reasonable concessions the United States, provided they bring about lower duties on agricultural products.\u201d The consular agemts of the Washington State Department seem to be thoroughly alive to the injury to American interests arising from retaliation in tariffs.Perhaps the drift of their reports Las already made an impression.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ADVENT OF AUTOMOBILISM.Perhaps there will be no greater change to mark the end of the nineteenth century than the displacement of the horse as an aid to locomotion.Steam, electricity and the bicycle were all powerful agents in operating that change, but the automobile or autocar bids fair to play even a greater part than these in relegating the horse to the ranks of luxury.The progress in developing this invention has been remarkably rapid, and it has now entered the field of practical usefulness.In some large cities like Paris and Chicago it has already assumed the position of a formidable rival to the electric railways.The automobile offers cheapness and speed; and it has the advantage that it can travel over any road.Indeed far from requiring special outlay or greater expenditure for the maintenance of country roads, it will rather tend to diminish that cost as its broad tires will not cut up the earth like the average carriage wheel and the horse\u2019s shoe.At present these vehicles cost a good round sum, but the price will rapidly fall as improvements are introduced and the demand increases.Tor the present the automobile has given rise to a new sport which appeals to the wealthy.An American member of the Automobile Club of Paris has just presented to that club a cup as a permanent challenge trophy.It is to be called the Columbia Challenge Cup.It is given to the club, and can only be raced for by members of an automobile club in any country, and the challenge must come through their club.It will thus occupy in international auto- mobilism the same place held by the America\u2019s Cup in international yachting.The races will take place in the country of the club holding the cup for the time being.The trophy will be considered as belonging to the club and not to the individual member whose automobile wins it.The first race may take place in September, and naturally in France, as the cup, until won out of its keeping, belongs to the Automobile Club de France.Thus new inventions not only bring nations together by reducing the obstacles to intercourse but also create new occasions for friendly contests which, between gen- Lemon, can only beget esteem and friendship.co 1 BIMBASHI GIROUARD.The proposal to give a public welcome to Major Girouard, on his approaching visit to Montreal, should meet with the hearty approval and support of all citizens.Ile has won for himself much credit in the Soudan, and his fellow-townsmen should feel it a pleasure and an honor to testify their appreciation of his good work on behalf of his country.An estimate of ! the value of Major Girouard\u2019s services to the Sirdar may be made from the following extracts from Mr.Steevens\u2019 recent book, \u201cWith Kitchener to Khartoum.\u201d \u201cAs for engines and rolling stock, the Soudan Military Railway must make the best of what it can get.Rais a dozen new engines of English breed there were when I got to Halfa\u2014fine, glossy, upstanding, clear-limbbd, powerful creatures, and it was a joy to watch the marvelling black sentry looking up to one of them in adoration, and then warily round lest anybody should seek to steal It.There were others ordered, but\u2014miracle of national lunacy\u2014 the engineering strike intervened and the orders had to go to Baldwin\u2019s, of Phila- deiphia.For the rest, the staff had to mend up anything they found about.Old engines from Ismali\u2019s abortive railway, old engines from Natal, from the Cape, broken and derelict, had to be patched up with any kind of possible fittings retrieved and adapted from the scrap-heap.Odd parts were picked up in the sand and fitted into their places again; if they were useless, they were promptly turned into something else and made useful.There are a couple of Ismail's boilers in use now which were found lying miles away in the desert and rolled in by lever and hand.In the engine shed you see rusty embryos of engines thdt are being tinkered together with bits of rubbish gol- lected from everywhere.And still they move.\u201cWho moves them?It is part of The Sirdar\u2019s luck\u2014that luck which goes with genius\u2014that he always gets the best oon- ceivable subordinates.Conceive a blend of French audacit\u2014 of imagination, American ingenuity and British doggedness in execution, and you will hawe the ideal qualities for such a work.The Director of Railways, Bimbashi Girouard, is a Canadian, presumably of French derivation.In early life he built a section of the Canadian Pacific.He came out to Egypt for the Dongola campaign\u2014one of three subalterns specially chosen from the Railway Department of the Royal Engineers.The Soudan killed the other two out of hand, but Bimbashi Girouard goes on building and running his railways.The Dongola line runs as far as Kerma, above the Third Cataract.The Desert Line must wait at the Atbara for a bridge before it can be extended to Khartoum.But already here is something over five hundred miles of rail laid in a savage desert\u2014a record to put to the credit of a subaltern of sappers.The Egyptian army is a triumph of youth on every side, but in none is it more signal than in the case of the Director of Railways.Ie never loses his head, nor forgets his own mind; he is credited with being the one man in the Egyptian army who is unaffectedly unafraid of the Sirdar.\u201cHaving finished the Soudan Military Railway to the Atbara, Bimbashi Girou- ard accepted the post of Director-General of all the Egyptian railways.There will | Toore goods per capita than any other cœurs jjbe plenty of stope*for-him in the Post, and it will not be wasted.But just reflect again on this crowning wonder of British Egypt\u2014a subaltern with all but Cabinet rank and £2,000 a year!\u201d NOTES AND COMMENTS.That bond transaction will stand a lot of explaining.The members of the Finance Committee of the City Council ought to be relieved of their burden.If they did not know the bonds were worth more than they were sold for, they should have known.The new French cabinet is going the right way about putting an end to the Dreyfus agitation.It proposes to have the new trial in public.There is nothing like mystery for keeping up excitement, and nothing like publicity for allaying curiosity.A convention of the Congregational ministers of Connecticut has adopted a resolution against re-marrying divorced persons, where guilt has been proven.This is a healthy indication that the abuse of the divorce laws in the United Sites is producing a reaction., The Herald has frequently protested against the practice of the Finance Com- mitiee in discussing matters of grave public interest in secret.meetings.The exclusion of the press from the discussion of the bond issue has probably cost the city a cool quarter of a million.It would take a good while for publicity to prejudice tne city\u2019s case to that extent, Le Canada-Francois, of St.Johns, says: We seize the opportunity of placing be- fcre our readers an excellent article of The Montreal Herald.These lines written by an English confrere prove once more that the spirit of tolerance and justice is a quality which belongs to every journalist wcrthy of the name.All those who love France will read these lines of The Her ald, which deserves our thanks and oon- gratulations.In his column, \u201cAt Dodsley\u2019s,\u201d\u201d in the Gazette this morning, \u201cM.J.G.\u201d says: \u201cMost of us saw and heard Matthew Arnold when he paid his visit to Canada and the United States in 1882.\u201d As a matter of fact, \u201cmost of us\u201d did not, but when Arnold was in Toronto Mr.Goldwin Smith had him to breakfast at the Grange, and the only other person invited to share the hospitality was Mr.M.J.Griffin.It was a high compliment to the able journalist and literateur, who is now parliamentary librar:an at Ottawa.Mr.W.H.Dingman, president of the Canadian Press Association, is editor of The Stratford Herald.As such, although a strong supporter of the Conservative party, he has displayed an independence of thought that has made his paper more widely influential than the majority of its contemporaries in the smaller Ontario cities.Mr.Dingman was in Montreal yesterday, and when asked regarding the attitude his paper had taken on the immigration policy of the Government, said he had no sympathy with the attacks of a certain section of the press of his party on the Doukhobors and Galicians.\u201cThe stupid talk being indulged in,\u201d he said, \u201cwill have only one result\u2014that of making solid Grit communities out of the descendants of the newcomers, affording tribulations to coming Tory candidates who will be nevertheless perfectly innocent of blame.\u2018The Liberal papers will treasure up all the disagreeable things that have been said, and will take good care to see that the Doukhobors and Galicians of the next couple of generations do not forgef them.Why should not the Galicians and Doukhobors in time make good citizens?The great need of Canada is population, and the time has not come to be overparticular and dainty.It is more material to enquire whether our immigrants are fitted to coax into activity some of our millions of acres of idle lands and make them multiply business for our factories, our railways and merchants, and thus help to feed others beside themselves.I agree with what Mr.B.E.Walker, said in his address to the shareholders of the Bank of Commerce, that there might be objection to some of the people if theÿ congregated in the cities, but not wheu they settle on the land.\u201d rer Se AN

Greetings likewise to you, Hotspur Vall- ant Morehouse! , To you, Grove Lachrymose Johnson, the Vernin\u2019 Villiam of the Valley, a royal salaam! \u2018lo-day, dearly beloved goes into effect a law grafted upon the statute books of the State of California by a parcel of escaped lunatics who, under the mistaken grace of God, somehow found sanctuary in the Legislature.Here is a sample news item from the same number of the Bee: The dust in the street is very annoying, and it is pretty hard to keep it out of the houses.After a while, we guess, the sprink- Jers will come out, and then there will not be so much dust on the streets.Edward John Devlin, Here is the Colfax Sentinel\u2019s opinion of the law, with the editor\u2019s signature : The requirements of this law are stupid and malicious.In the attempt of the lawmakers to learn the identity of editorial writers of the metropolitan press a burden has been placed upon every publisher in the ae law plays to the hands of the sneak and the informer.It is an example of variegated asinine stupidity, idiotic and infamous; it is unconstitutional; it is rotten.Ivan Henry Parker.The law will no doubt become a dead letter.It is the wish of every responsible journal to hawe sensationalism suppressed and to print nothing but matter which is true and of public interest.The present libel law is often unjustly harsh upon these, while it allows the other class to escape.A very much more simple way of procuring reparation for the victims of unjustifiable articles would be to have a tribunal of competent arbitrators, before which no legal fees wonld be allowed.That would put an end to the prosecution of respectable newspapers by shyster lawyers, who do not care a snap about the unfortunates whom they drag into the courts, and whose only ambition is to make something for themselves out of the case.The parties could appear before the arbitrators, submit the facts, and the latter would appreciate the real damages.In case malice were shown the one guilty of malice, not the proprietor of a paper who has been deceived, should be sent before the criminal courts.I daresay such a law would prompfly EE)

Finds Praying for Him.Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 23.\u2014Ignatz Cosmos, after being imprisoned in the Gaylord mine, at Plymouth, for seventy-six hours, was rescued to-day.Although he had not had a drop to drink or a mouthful to eat during his imprisonment, he broke from the crowd that surrounded him when he was raised to the surface and ran to his home in his eagerness to assure his aged mother of his safety.Rescue parties, who had been working every moment since when a fall shut in the miner, were rewarded last night by hearing rappings on the wall.The sounds came from Cosmos and told that he was in a different position from that toward which the re- geuers were heading.They answered the rappings, which were repeated, and after a little experimenting the oflicials were able to locate Cosmos in a manway.Superintendent Edwards, Morris and Williams then ordered the workmen to drive a heading from the chamber to the one that was ciogged with coal.This was accomplished this morning.Then it was found that the manway which held Cosmos was twenty feet down the incline.in so tightly that it had be blasted out.A narrow passageway was driven down the side of the incline to the manway, and at noon to-day the rescuers were able to talk with the entombed man.They assured him they would reach him in a few hours longer.He announced that although he was weak, hungry and thirsty he could hold out for several days longer if need be.: His dinner pail which he had carried into the mine, was at some distance from him when the fall came, and he had been unable to get it.He said he thanked God and his rescuers for his deliverance from death, and cautioned the men not to risk undue haste and to be careful not to create another rush of coal, as it would mean certain death .\u201cKeep at your work, boys!\u201d he shout- sed \u201cand don\u2019t worry; I'm all right!\u201d At length a hole was bored to the man- way big enough for the passage of a man\u2019s body.Down this passage a rope with a.noose was lowered to Cosmos, and soon the shout came from him\u2014 \u201cHaul me up, boys!\u201d _ He was oon with his rescuers.He would not allow them to carry him, but walked with them.Down in the mine morsels of food moistened with wine were given to the man.After a little of this treatment Cosmos expressed a wish to go to the surface.He was anxious to see his mother, to let her know he was safe and thus dispel the agony she had suffered since his imprisonment.News of the rescue had spread before Cosmos reached the surface, and hundreds of men, women and children were massed at the head of the shaft as he stepped off the carriage.The throng cheered him.Many persons shook his hand, some hugged him, several kissed him.At length he broke from the throng and ran down the hill to his home.The crow@ followed.He entered his home and found his mother kneeling and praying for his deliverance.Cosmos said that when he realized that his rescuers knew exactly where he was he stopped worrying and enjoyed a good sleep.mare ROOSTER HATCHES OUT A BROOD.Foxboro, Mass., June 23.\u2014Charles D.Cotton, a farmer living in East Foxboro, à short time ago set a

Here the coal was packed - France Has Now a Little Light on its Darkness.The Dreyfus Court-Mariial Will be Protected Against the Menaces of Some.Paris, June 23.\u2014The first Cabinet council , of the new Ministry was held at the Elysee Palace at five o'clock this evening, President Loubet presiding.At the meeting the general lines of a declaration to be made by the Government Monday, were decided upon.A Ministerial statement will be drafted at a council to be held Sunday.At the instance of the General, the Marquis De Gallifet, Minister of War, the Council decided upon the transfer of a number of superior officers of the army for \u2018\u2018indulg- Monday morning, | ing in manifestations unbecoming soldiers.\u201d The Radicals decided to support the Government, provided it defends the Republic.When this decision was made known, M.Charles Camille Pelletan, Deputy for Aix (Circonscription), and a few others, withdrew from the group.The Temps says: \u2018\u201cThe composition of the Cabinet may appear extraordinary in the face of the material tranquility existing, but, unhappily, moral tranquility does not prevail in the same degree.The Cabinet will shortly prorogue Parliament, and take upon itself alone the solution of the Dreyfus affair.Within the limits of its power, the Government might do some useful work by d:fending the army against the imprudent language of its representatives, and against the attacks of its enemies, by causing respect for the magistrates and their decisions, and by protecting the Dreyfus court-martial against the menaces of some.\u2019 \u2014+e-+-+-e-0-0-0-0-0-0 0-00 -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-+-0-0-+ LOCAL LABOR CIRCLES +-+-+-0-0-0-e-+-0-0-+ +++ +-+-0+-0++0 The Picnic Committee of the Typographical Union have almost completed arrangements for their annual picnic,which goes to Iberville on July 15 by a special and all regular trains on that day, leaving the Windsxr station at 9.15 a.m.and 2 p.m.The programme this year will be the finest ever arranged for, consisting of all classes of sports.The chief feature of tne day will be a baseball match between the famous Ilerald nine, champions of the prinving fraternity, and a picked nine from the Star office.In all probabuity a game will also be arranged between the Gazelte and Witness employes.The tug-of-war for the handsome silver cup will be one of the features of the day.Prizes and donations lave been received from nearly all the printing houses of the city.There will hkely be a parade in the morning.Tickets may be obtained from any of the members of the committee at the rate of 60 cents for adults and 30 cents for children.On armving at Iberville the prinicrs will be met by the Mayor and corporation and they will march to the delightful park, when they will be presented with an address of welcome.* * * The longhoresmen will be addressed tomorrow by Joseph Ainey, F.Roberge and (George Warren, organizer of the Federated Trades Council.+ * * The Union Label Bill had been killed by the Senate Committee on Banking and Commerce.This was hardly expected, and organized labor dn this city is very much dissatisfied.Some of the prominent workers freely advocate the abolition of the Senate.Mr.Jackson, the jsuperintendent of trade marks, does not appear to know much about the unuon label.Everybody knows that the label largely solves the convict labor problem; when the State adopts this emblem as the mark by which her people may readily \u2018distinguish public work done under just conditions.Some time ago Montana enacted a law that requires the union label upon official printing for all the State departments.A statute like this in New York would have prevented the prison competition which now menaces \u2018the joint interests of employer and employed in the printing trade.Utaca, N.Y., forbids the use in public works of any iron moulding that does not boar tite Moulders\u2019 Union trade mark of fair production.Thirty city councils throughout the United States heave passed ordinances requiring the union label upon public printing as a guarantee to taxpayers that State laws calling for the payment of prevailing wages and the employment of citizen labor are not evaded or circiin- vented.Our City Council does not seem to know enough to make a law of this kind.\u2018There are aldermen in this city who really do mot know what the union label stands for.Some of them should Le in the Senate.An effort will be made to organize the retail clerks and bookbinders next week.The Painters\u2019 end Decorators\u2019 Union vorner Elizabeth street.;

Ministry maintains that the French warship and fishermen, in trying to assert utterly unjustifiable claims on the French shore this season, seriously complicate the settlement of the whole question.Reports from the French shore seem to indicate a settled design and widespread action to carry this object into effect, with results disastrous to settlers in that region.Conferences between Commodore George A.Giffard, commanding the British squadron in Newfoundland waters, and the members of the Cabinet, continue daily.SOME TARIFF CHANGES.Minister Loomis Writes Washington of the Venezuelan Congress Decision.neg Washinglon, D.C., June 23.\u2014Under date of May 22, Minister Loomis writes the State Department from Caracas, as follows, concerning the new tariff: \u201cThe Venezuelan Congress, which adjourned on Saturday last, enacted a new *tariil law.There will be an average increase of 25 per cent.on existing duties, very few articles, flour among them, being excepted.In addition to the advance in duties made by the mew law, power is given to the President to add 25 per cent.more to any or all of the new schedules, as he may see fit.In short, the new law makes it possible for the President to regulate the tariff pretty much as he deems best.\u201d FAST ATLANTIC SERVICE.Premier Announces That Government is Considering the Matter\u2014a Model Built.Ottawa, June 23.\u2014(Special.)\u2014In reply to a number of questions in the House during the past few weeks regarding a fast Atlantic service the Premier has answered that the government has the subject under consideration.Hon.R.R.Dobell has submitted for the inspection of his colleagues a handsome medal of an ocean liner which shows many points of superiority over those previously considered.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A PLEASANT SUNDAY OUTING.The Montreal Park & Tsland Car provide an easy escape from the intense heat and sultry atmosphere of the city.A trip around the mountains and to Car: tierville makes a pleasant Sunday outing when the beautiful Park & Island Company\u2019s park is at the disposal of its paf- rons.Take any St.Catherine street car to Westmount or any Park avenue car to Mount Royal avenue.Further information at ticket office 128 St.James street.Telephone, Main 1731.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 HAVEMHEYHBR OVER-PROTHCTHD, President of the American Beet-Sugar Association Disputes the Trust Presi dent's Statements, San Francisco, June 23.\u2014Henry T.Oxnard, Presiden of the American Beet-Su- gar Association, accuses H.O.Havemeyer of seeking ot destroy the American beet- sugar industry in order to foster the refineries that handle Yoreign raw material.Mr.Oxnard declares that American sugar producers would suffer and the development of the beet-sugar industry be rearded by the damission of raw sugar free of udty.ere VIN ST.LEHON will increase corporal resistanose TUTO ; + NEWS OF THE CHURCHES.: + > + ++ + -+e-4-0-0-04.\u201cIt grows clear,\u201d says the New York Outlook, \u201cthat the Engii-h Church is in an anomalous position; and it is probable that the present discussion will convince many, who have been very reluctant to reach the conclusion, that sooner or later disestablishment will be inevitable.Organic relation between the church and the state, in a sense which gives the state authority to determine questions of doctrine and of ritual, his become repugnant to the modern consciousne-s, Precedents and law furnish solid ground for any ac tion Parliament may choose to take in determining how far the law of the church has been broken by the priests of the ad vanced ritualistic party.Parliament can unquestionably punish disobedience.This is apparently the shert cut out of the whole difficulty: but, fortunately, very few persons are willing to take this short cut.It marks a great advance in religious fecl- ing that such a body as Parliament recog: nizes the impropriety of exercising such a power, and feels deeply that a religious organization ought to determine questicns affecting its own faith.worship and discipline.The formal logic of the situation points unmistakably to parliamentary ac- tien, but the vital logic of the situation points in an entirely different direction; and it has been the strength of the kne- lish people, although it has often exposed them to the charge of inconsistency, to disregard formal logic when the logic of events pointed in another direction.\u201d \u2014 \u201cThe proceedings of the Protestant Episcopal Church have become public property,\u201d says the New York Christian Advocate (Meth.), \u201cfor within the past fifteen years it, together with the Anglican Church, has been appealing to \u2018our separated brethren\u2019 to enter its fold; and Dr.George Douglas in his sermon at the ordination of Dr.Briges could not keep : clear of references to the same subject.T certain cognate points.| ! But when their invitations were brought to the test, they were found to be in- tenselv sectarian with respect to their doctrine of the nature of ordination and According to the Outlook\u2019s definition, that church is a sect.That sect has room.for Newton and his dissolving views of all doctrines; for Rit- chie and his quintessence of ritualism and bigotry; for Dr.Briggs and his views; but it has no room for any one who will avow the views of the ministry and of ordination which were quite common in the Anglican Church one hundred and fifty years ago, and which have been { taught by Dean Stanley, Bishop Light- ! foot and others.If these last-named men were in, and for the sake of order would comply with the consequences of the High Church doctrine, he \u201claissez faire\u201d spirit which now prevails, especially in the Diocese of New York, would allow them to remain.But if they came knocking today from any other sect, frankly avowing their belief that they needed no reordina- tion, they would not be accepted.\u201d messe me \u201cWith the tumult over every new heretic two questions are raised,\u201d says the Christian Register (Unit.) of Boston.\u201cFirst, What is true?Second, What is according to the standards ?Now it follows as a matter of course that every conscientious thinker seeks to know the truth, and that he seeks to make the standards of his church correspond to the truth which is the final authority.The statement is often made, and very commonly made by Unitarians, that the only standard which ought to be considered is the truth itself, and that Episcopalians, Presbyterians and others are unfaithful to their high commission when they stop to consider the question, Does the belief of this heretic agree with the standards?without asking the further question, Are the standards correct?We shall not be suspected of any leaning towards Presbyterianism or Episcopaey when we say that, if a man \u2018has accepted the standard he ought to be compelled to conform to it.Human beings associate themselves together under an almost infinite variety of ideas, from the most trivial to the most sublime.If to a fat mets club a member was admitted who was six feet high and weighed 300 pounds, and then shrank to the proportions of a \u2018living skeleton,\u201d it weuld be perfectly fair to say that he no longer conformed to the standard of the club.The question whether obesity or spareness was most conducive to health would always lie in the background.But in spite of it the club would have a right to insist upon its conditions of membership.\u201d \u201cA Christian has no right to a luxury which materializes him,\u201d says the Congregationalist of Boston.\u2018\u201c\u201cThe one thing he is after is strength and symmetry of spiritual life.If some splendid picture of the holy mother or of kneeling saint or of transfigured Christ as it hangs upon his wall heartens him for the day\u2019s work, makes him more true and tender, then he has a right to it if he can afford it.But if he buys his pictures by the yard, simply that he may tell his visitor how much he paid for them, that luxury is making him less rather than more of a man and is, therefore, baneful.A Christian has no right to a luxury which isolates him from his fellow-men.Why is it npt a good thing for a man to spend six months in Europe and the other six at home, giving generously all the time to charity and doing many good deeds in that portion ot the year when he is supposed to be at work?Simply because such a programme cuts him off from the vast majority of his fcllow-beings.Harm attaches to every luxury which makes one less sensitive to the tremendous struggle that is going on all about us, a struggle often not for delicacies for the table or for an occasional trip abroad, but a struggle for daily bread and for shelter by night.Whether or not Jesus owned property, he identified himself to the uttermost with the average man and the average man\u2019s problems.\u201d mae \u201cBRIDES OF LEAFY JUNE.\u201d There has come to Montreal one of the best pianists of Paris.We refer to the bride of Dr.Damien Masson, graduate of the

\u2018some few brokers profess to have less difficulty in getting money, but the banks as a rule seem to have very slightly modified their position taken some weeks ago.There is quite a fair degree of briskness \u2019 in the export of dairy products, and cheese shipments are quite notably ahead of last year at date, but the make is said not to be actually larger, the increase in shipments being due to the fact that the : goods are going forward as made, instead of being put into cold storage as \u2018was the case with a good many at this time last year.there is no weakening.\u2018In metals there is much stiffness, with reported difficulty in getting needed supplies in certain lines.Pig iron is if anything dearer, and it is \u2018said $22 has been asked for small lots Summerlee.Iron piping has been of again advanced this week, and one inch ' is now quoted at $4.90, as against $3.40 six months ago; it is said the price should really be higher but for the intense competition between the two local mills.Dry goods men were advised this week of an advance in black satin ribbon.In other lines there are no very novel features.\u2014 R.G.Dun & Co.The foregoing is a representative idea of the situation, merchants generally agreeing thal returns still run a good deal ahead of a year ago.Above The Average.As usual a very cheerful view of the situation is taken by the editor of the Trade Bulletin, who says: \u2018Although business in wholesale circles has been on the quiet side during the past week, the volume of transactions has been above the average for this season of the year.Trade in Manitoba and British Columbia continues to expand, the orders for both these provinces having shown a large increase during the past three or four months over the corresponding patiod last year.It is estimated that during the past six months 20,000 emigrants have settled down in Manitoba, besides the large number * that have gone to the mining districts of British Columbia.One of the principals of a dry goods firm stated that his Lusiness in the Canadian Northwest has more than doubled during the past six months.Money is in more liberal supply, and we hear of a good-sized call loan being placed at 4 1-2 per cent, and we quote 4 1-2 to 5 per cent.Mercantile paper is steady, and is discounted at the banks at 6 to 7 per cent.Tight Money, The local money situation is not easy by any means, and especially does this apply to call loans.The banks are undoubtedly acting in a very conservative manner in regard to them, and an explanation of this is possibly found in the fact that all of the Canadian banks have $20,000,000 out in call loans against only $18,000,000 for the corresponding period a year ago.It is reported that a few loans have been made the past week at 4 1-2 per cent., but the majority of banks | could probably place all the money they cared to let go at 5 per cent.Ocean Freights Here.The ocean freight market has been eomewhat quieter during the past week, but the volume of business on the whole has ben fair.The demand has ben principally for room to the Continental ports and all of such as has now been engaged for July and some for August.The course of rates has been irregular, some showing an advance and others a decline, as compared with a week ago.Engagements have been made at the following figures: Liverpool, 1s 3d; London, 2s; Glaszow, 1s 9d; Bristol, 2s 412d; Hamburg, 2s 3d; Antwerp, 2s; Belfast, 2s 41-2d; Dublin, 2s Sickly Girls Who are pale, weak, nervous, and run down, will find new health, new life, and new hope, by using Dr.Chase\u2019s Nerve Food, the great restorative, which builds up the system and restores vitality to the body and roundness to the form.: Dr.Chase\u2019s Nerve Food, 50 cents a Box, at all deslers, of Ed- mansoq, Bates & Cn, Toronto.With regard to general values ] \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 6d;

corn and peas, at 63c; and beans at 65c to Tec, according to quality.Since the .up considerable, and several packers have withdrawn prices.Corn seems to be the chief article of interest, and packers, who have not already sold out their pack are i sent are for still higher prices in the near future.Iron is Brisk.There 18 a good deal doing in the local iron market and the tone is very firm.' , Sales of No.1 Hamilton have been made at $21 to $21.50, while No.1 Summerlee, which is in very limited supply has been placed at $22 to $22.50.The following despatch shows how things are going in Pittsburgh: \u2014\u201cChess Bros., of have lease dtheir South Side plant to a Mr.Neel, who will start the puddling furnaces immediately to make muck-bar.The plant has been idle ten years.Muck-bar is sellilng at $31 per ton, la Imuck-bar iron at $40 per ton.The demand is extraordinary.oo \u201cJones & Laughlin have put their nine- ty-inch plate mill running which will m- crease the capcaity 200 tons per day.The seventy-two inch plate mill will be ready to resume on July 1, with a capacity of 150 tons.The shortage in plates will cause boiler-making and ship-building to be seriously retarded, Steel cars are taking large quantities of plates.\u201cGround was broken by Spang & Chal- fant to-day for their new pipe mills that are to be run in opposition to those of the National Tube Company.\u201d \u2018 Trade in Toronto.Toronto, June 23.\u2014This week has been a very fair one for the wholesale trade.There is still a good sorting business, and retailers having done a good trade for the past three weeks are more inclined to pay some attention to fall goods, with the result that a number of good sized orders are being booked.Crop prospects have been improved recently by the favorabie weather, and the outlook for trade in the country is better.There is a good demand for dry goods, millinery, boots and shoes, hardware and metals, including builders\u2019 hardware and binder twine, and hog products are moving out more freely, especially smoked lines, as a result of the hot weather.There has been some 1improvement in the cheese markets, and there is a good demand for egzs and butter, with moderate offerings of hen fruit and a firm market.Hides and leather are firm.Wool is offering more freely, but the demand is moderate, the possibilities of exporting it at a profit being still remote.There is a better demand for wheat and oats, and prices of both are steady to firm.Country remittances are steady for this season.The local money market is steady at 5 to 51-2 per cent.for call Joans and 6 to 7 per cent.for mercantile discounts, according to name and date.i \u2014_\u2014 SENATOR THIBAUDEAU SUES, He and Mr.W.J.Lindsay Want to Withdraw from an Arbitration and to Set Aside an Ejectment.Toronto, June 23.\u2014(Special.)\u2014At Os- goode Hall to-day a writ was issued on behalf of Mr.Alf A.Thibaudeau, oi Montreal, and Mr.Wm.J.Lindsay, against the following insurance companies:\u2014Hart- ford, Caledonia, Commercial Union, Imperial, Liverpool, J.ondon & Globe, London Assurance, Phoenix of Hortford, Northern Assurance, Connecticut, Aetna, Lancashire and Quebec.The suit is to enable either or both of the plaintiffs to withdraw from an arbitration and to set aside an ejectment bond on the ground that it is not a submission within the meaning of the arbitration act.The arbitration is in connection with the adjustment of insurance losses on the stock of Robertson, Lindsay & Co., of St.Thomas, which was burned some time ago.Thz arbitration bond is dated June 1st, 1899, and is between the clothing company and the insurance companies.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014e) VIN ST.LEHON will increase corporal resistance.FIRE AT ST.ANDREWS.St.Andrews, Que., June 23.\u2014(Special.) \u2014WMrs.Samuel Crevier, of Labaie, dwellin and household effects, along with shed, containing farm implements, were totally destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.Loss two thousand dollars;

visualized than the murder to which we have alluded.We must cile the latter, as an ilitsctauon oË the terse, dramatic style which Kipling was using even in his newspaper days.Carrying his reader to the door of a dem in Chinatown, San Francisco, he proceeds thus: On the second underground floor a man asked for \u201ccumshaw,\u201d and took me downstairs to yet anoiher cellar, where the air was as thick as butter, and the lamps burned little holes in it not more than an inch square.In this piace a poker club had assembled and was in full swing.The Chinmman loves \u2018\u201cpokel\u201d and

almost unendurable.There was some dispute between the Mexican and the man on his left.The latter shited his place to put the table between himself and his opponent, and stretched a lean yellow hand toward the Mexican\u2019s winnings.Mark how purely man is a creature of instinot.Rarely antroduced to the pistol, I saw the Mexican half rise in his chair, land at the same instant I found myself full length on ihe fioor.None had toid { me that this was the best attitude when { bullets are abroad.I was there prone before I had time to think\u2014dropping as the room was filled with an intolerable clamor like the discharge of a cannon.In | those close quarters the pistol report had no room to spread anv more than the smoke\u2014then acrid in my notsrils.There was no second shot, but à great

reliab.e iocai sources, such as postmasters, bank managers and merchants.\u2018Lhe book is not a compendium of the names and addresses of a few people only, but an eaoorate, com- | plete and correct list of ai merchants, trades and professions properly classified \u2018and arranged in each of the countries treated.I'he section of the directory devoted to each colony is distinctiy colored, and its name is printed on tune face ot the volume so plainiy that he wuo runs may read.Five years have elapsed since the last edition of the directory appeared, and since then tne colomes and \u2018countries deait with have grown s0 much in commercial importance that it is not surprising the vo.ume should have greatly expanued in proportions.lt is ciaim- ed that the buyers\u2019 guide section, which relates to Great Britain and the United Stales, conlains the most complete list of the representative manufaciurers of these countries that bas ever been put together in one volume, and as it Jllus- \u201crates the works and goods manufactured it will be found of the greatest value to buyers in Icreign countries, as well as in the home maikets, who wish to get into direct communication with the leading manufaciurers.As an ex- ampie of how Mr.Wright treats each colony and country, New South Wales, the mother colony of Austrailia, may be cited.Following a compact index is a historical sketch of the colony, from the discovery of Botany Bay by Captain Cook down to the present year, and this sketch embraces the trade and commerce and industries of the community and tacts and figures relating to railways and population.There is a directory of each town, showing its form of local government, population, institutions, leading characteristics and the names of the business people.As regards the metropolis itself, a description of the principal buildings, parks and institutions is given, and the business directory is classified alphabetically under the headings of the various trades and professions, such as accountants, agents- general, cial, agents-house land and estate, auctioneers, bakers, banks, boat builders, blacksmiths, and so forth.The other colonies are similarly treated.The directory is published by Mr.George Wright, St.Paul building, Halifax; 121 Fulton street, New York; and 62 Ludgate Hill, London E.C.; whose representative, Mr.John P.Brinsmead, is now at the Wind- \u2018sor Hotel for the purpose of receiving orders.Mr.Wright is now arranging for the publication of a, -special- edition for the beginning of the new century of a directory of the Dominion of Canada and Newfoundland, containing a description of each place, giving popvlation, geographical facts and figures, and particulars of banks, ' express companies, telegranhs, telephones, railways, as well as a complete list of all people engaged in business in the Do- ;minion and Newfoundland at the close of the present century.As a book reference it will be invaluable, and can be thoroughly recommended.\u2014 WHERE ARE THE BOYS?Ottawa has a Strange Disappearance of Two Little Fellows\u2014The Parents Distracted.Ottawa, June 23.\u2014 The family of John Junter, laborer, 2001-2 Bote- i

main drain, and the family consists of himself, wife and four children.lads are named August and Albert, August Theing the elder.and eight years respectively.The neighbors state that the boys did not go to school last week, and when this fact came to the father\u2019s ears the truants were chastised and ordered to attend on Monday of this week.It is just possible that fear of further punishmet® at school may have induced them to stay away from both home and school, al though if such is the case it is not easy to understand how children of those ages could manage to procure food and shelter for themselves.bors is that the boys were playing about the water, and one of them falling in, the other was also drawn in in attemnt- ing to save his brother.This is at least plausible, as the boys, like other youngsters in the district passed most of their piay time about the river.ea \u201cWAITING FOR JUSTICE.\u201d M.de Blowitz Takes M.Quillain to Task for His Statement in Connecticn With

of the Mother Murderer Says He Did Nut Receive Fair Treatment at the Hands of the Authorities.Buffalo, N.Y., June 23.\u2014Benjamin Par- rott, who was hanged in Hamilton this morning, has relatives in this city.His two sisters, Miss Parrott and Mrs.Parks, called at a local newspaper office to-day to make a statement regarding the alleged in- Justice of their brother's execution.Miss Parrott returned from Hamilton to -day.She saw her brother last night.\u201cMy brother should never have been hanged,\u201d said Miss Parrott.\u2018He had suffered from convulsions ever since he was a child, and never was responsible for his actions.Another thing is that he did not have a fair trial.If he had, he never would have been executed.He was not allowed to produce all his witnesses, or he might have proved his innocence.My brother came from a good family, and did not receive fair treatment from the Canadian authorities.\u201d MUST ALTER TOMBSTONE Thomas Mulcahey, Whose Reported Death Ended Sister's Life, Writes Home of Fortune Acquired, Derby, Conn., June 23.\u2014Thomas Mul- cahey, a well known Ansonia young man, who had been mourned as dead since last September, is alive and the possessor of a quickly acquired tortune.With David Lovett, of this city, Mul- cahey started for the Klondike a year ago.Lovett returned to Seattle in September, and reported that Muicahey had ween drowned by the sinking of a ship which had gone down with all on board.Mul- cahey s sister, Miss Margaret, who was slightly ill became rapidly worse when the news reached her, and died within a week.She was buried in Mount St.Peter\u2019s cemetery, in thus city, and a large double heaa- stone, which bears the inscription, \u201cln memory of Margaret,\u201d on one side, and \u201cIn memory of Lhomas\u201d on the other, was erected.Ricuard Mulcahey, a brother, to-day received a letter from Thomas, written in Dawson City.The letter told of the dangers and sufferings and long illness through which the writer had passed, including a shipwreck of which he was one of three survivors, The writer said that he is now prospering, having already become comparatively rich.Mulcahey has two brothers and two sisters living in Ansonia and a mother in Ireland.Upon his supposed death the Ansonia Court of Ferresters of which he was a member, paid a death claim to his family.Lhe money was returned to-day, and the Inscription on the headstone to Thomas\u2019 memory will be effaced.Mulcahev said in ! hiz le\u2018ter that he would come home this | fall.He has yet to be apprised of his

Follow the Lead of Canadian Coal.rane BOSTON /NJ ITS GAS PLANT, Cape Breton coal is keeping down the death rate in the city of Boston.As a quid-pro-quo, Bo:ton is consuming about 2,000 tons of Cape Breton coal every | day.\\ There are many other sides to the transactions which centre around the dealings of the New England Gas and Coke Company and the pians and projects of its far-seeilig president, Henry M.Whitney, who, in addition to holding the same oflice in the Dominion Coal Company, was on Thursday elected the executive head of the Dominion Steel and Smelting Company.Before the birth of the new enterprise, Boston had been supplied with the deadly water-gas, and in morality statistics week alter week and month afier month, an average of one death a day was being maintained.There were compiaints, protests and investigations, but water-gus and the death rate continued unaisturved on the even tenor of thew way uatil the black.raw product of Cape Bretun_mines stepped in to saieguard the health of the intellectual hub of the United States.The development of this movement to prolong the life of Bostonians, as well as to Increase the demand for the output of Canadian coal fields, can be traced back to a successful experiment Mr.Whitney started in Halifax in 1897.A system of producing coke and saving and utilizing the various by-products, calied the Otto- Hofman process, promised in theory such wonderful results that a thorough and comprehensive test seemed authorized.Accordingly, Halifax being within easy access of Canadian coal fieids, and al:o presumably because an experiment of this nature which could succeed thère must have indubitable and indisputable claims on consideration, the chief city of Nova Scotia was chosen as the site of a practhgl demonstration of the merits and short-com- Ings of the German discovery., Tested in Halifax.The People\u2019s Heat and Light Company, with ten ovens for the production of coke, came into existence two years ago, Mr.Whitney being its president, and since that time has furnished illuminating and heating gas to the city, tar and ammonia to manufacturers and coke to consumers in such quantities and at such low prices that the most sanguine expectations of its promoters have been more than justified.As specific demonstration of the economy of operation and the method by which every vestige of value was turned to account, the following instance of the ordinary working of the plant is of value: \u2018I'hirty-seven short tons of coal were coked in twenty-four hours.They furnished 310,000 cubic feet of gas, of which 100,000 cubic feet were illuminating gas of 18 candle power, and saleable at $2.40 per thousand, and 210,000 cubic feet were heating gas.Of this second item, 170,000 cubic feet were consumed in cooking, yielding 40,000 cubic feet for profitable disposal at 40 cents per thousand.A long ton furnishes on an average five poundg of ammonia gas and 120 pounds of tar.After distillation, the ammonia liquor furnishes a commercial ammonia of 17 per cent.strength.Lastly, the coke, forming 756 per cent.of the coal charged, is broken an& sold at the rate of $4 a ton for domestic purposga and boiler fuel, the market price of anthracite being $4.25.The return, therefore, simply from the sale of gas and coke, and ignoring the very considerable value of the ammonia and r, was $161.ve a of cold, impartial testing hawe justified the hoves of the promoters and the claims of the inventors, Success in Boston.From the operation of the Halifax furnaces, Mr.Whitney learned to a dollar the relationship between raw material, cost of manufacture, and value of output.Airis knowledge was turned to accountin the plone for his tremendous American plant at Boston.Every gas company in ostqn is now under Whitney's control, he ptomise-of Tuel gas at 50 cents per thousand has created a tremendous demand for this commodity, approximate ly 1,500 tons of coke a day gladden the hearts of local manufacturers, and the tar and ammonia were snapped up as soon as they were offered.In a Bigger Venture.But, extensive as is this enterprise, it palls into insignificance when compared with the possibility of develonment that to all appearances lie before a more 1e- cent venture of the same capitalist.~ When the Dominion Steel and Smelting Company came into existence this last week, it meant that an eye trained t scan the needs of the future had seen in another Canadian product a field for on- erations magnificently superior to local interests, and a hand apt and quick at diagnosing the varying pulse Beats of the world\u2019s markets had been turned to the speedy development of an industry which may make of Canada one of the recognized and dominant factors in the industries of the world.For some time past there has been talk of an iron famine\u2014mot the vapid vapor- ings of sensation-mongers, but the dispassionate ubkerances of scientists based upon recognized facts and developed logie- ally and convincingly.A well-known geologist once said that a nation\u2019s effective vate was closely proportionate to the extent of its iron industries.Making all due allowance to professional bias, the statement even to the uninformed ous sider has a striking significance.Scienze may find a substitute for breadstuffs, for the raw material of, textile fabrics and tor the thousand and one other commodities which the world has grown to regard as indispensable, but cut a nation\u2019s supply of iron and you cripple its commerce, \u2018ts manufactures and its power of defence, and leave a veritable helpless hulk, Prospective Iron Famine, Events of the past two years have brought to light more convincingly than ever before the need of a new source for this sinew of national existence.A period of industrial depression followed by one of almost unprecedented activity has made demands upon the rapidly diminishing stock available which disclosed an amazing and alarming weakness.In ihe United States, for example, the largest producer of pig iron in the world, the fiz- ures for 1898 reach a total of 11,773,934 tons as a total output, and the rate of consumption so far as 1899 threatens a veritable famine before the close of 1900.The available ore supply is strictly limil- ed when it comes to a question of responding to such colossal demands, and not all the Lake Superior ore fields, which form one of the biggest items in the Rockefeller fortune, nor the Pennsylvania, the Alabama, nor all others combined furnish any reasonable grounds for expecting a continuation of the present status.When the United States becomes an importer instead of an exporter, a producer iu That is more than can be said of the men.It is hardly the men\u2019s fault.The clothing has served generations in some cases, and looks it, too.Where the men could improve matters is in more Industrious application to brush and pipe clay.Didn\u2019t Know His Regiment.A walk among the tents where the men on sick leave, those notified for the west guard and the fatigue parties were lounging round, and among the waiting men at the ranges was productive of some extremely amusing conversations.Approaching one strapping young private of infantry awaiting his turn at the shooting booth, I asked him the name of the major in command of his half battalion.The major was standing but a few feet away, and I pointed him out when asking his name.\u201cT dunno who he is.\u201d ; I had struck a gem, and did not want to let him go, so I ventured another question.2 \u201cI see you belong to the \u2014th battal- jon: what is the name of the battalion 7\u2019 \u201cWell, L never heard tell 0\u2019 any name but the red coats.\u201d Luckily something funny happened at the butts and gave a chance to relieve à the pressure before continuing the conversation.\u201cWell, can you tell me the headquarters of the battalion ?\u201d \u201cl come from the village of \u2014\u2014.That's whère all us fellows come from,\u201d indicating with a sweep of the hand one of the companies.Then an idea scemed to strike my friend, and with a beaming face he asked : \u201cSay, do you come from Montreal ?\u201d ww >> es, I do.\u201cWell, do you know Mary \u2014 ?Tve been lookin\u2019 for her ever since I come here.\u201d I had just time to answer that I hadn't the honor, when the officer in command of the company called out the private's section, and I did not see him again.Shooting Began Yesterday.Yesterday was a notable day in camp for one thing.A month or so ago Major General Hutton, in his report, stated that as no ranges were available at many of the camps, Morris Tube ranges would be fitted up, and the men would get practice in using them.For the benefit of the uninitiated it may be explained that the Morris Tube is a small steel tube introduced into the rifle so that small * ammunition with a small charge of powder can be used.The bullet only carries 100 or 150 yards, so that ranges can easily be formed.Practice with these tubes in the rifle teaches the recruit to hold his rifle properly, and how to aim, which is by no means as simple as it looks.To-day was the first trial of the General\u2019s scheme, and it worked very well.the 5t4h \u2018\u2018Richmond Battalion were the first to try the ranges.Major Galloway, 14th Princess of Wales\u2019 Own Rifles, was in command, being the D.A.A.G.of musketry at the camp.His assistant was Cadet Carr-Harris, who has ust taken a brilliant stand in the Royal Military College examinations.Lieut.-Col.Kitson, commandant of the school, and in command of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, was at the ranges a good part of the time, and took great interest in the shooting of the men.The results were not so satisfactory as if the regular ammunition had been used, without the tube, but it was the best means available of getting the men used to handling the rifle, and the company officers are making the most of it.Yesterday's Drill.Yesterday afternoon was devoted entirely to battalion drill.Each battalion was put through the movements by an in- struetor from the St.Johns contingent and by their officers.The movements were of the simplest kind, for there are a good many recruits in the ranks.Tne men paid close attention to the instructions, and seemed to pick up tie drill wonderfully well, considering the dhances they have had.Armed with Obsolete Guns.A very noticeable thing was that of all the men in camp very few are armed with a weapon which would be ol any use im actuad warfare.The great majorily of the militia corps have the snider-Enfield ritle, better known as ithe Snider.lake the imfantry corps.\u2018There are 13 battalions in camp.Of these only three have the Lete-Enfield rifle, about one-fifth of the whole number.These are the 1ltn \u201cAr- genteuil Rangers,\u201d 54th \u201cRichmond\u201d Battalion, and the 85th Battalion.\u2018Je others are armed with a rifle which is of no use in modern warfare.It is said a number of the battalions in the camp are shortly to receive the new rifles.The 64th and the 76th used the new rifles yesterday to get accustomed Lo then, as they are to shcot to-day, but when their shooting is over they will shoulder their old Sniders again.Beginning of Brigade Work.To-day is being taken up in Dbadtalion drill.Cn Monday afternoon brigade wall be formed on the fallin sounding and under command of the brigadiers this class of work will be done.A Disadvanlage.Just to show some of the disadvantages under whiah the men have to work, a little incident which was noticed yesterday may be given here.A sergeant was drilling recruits.He gave the detail of the various turnings in French.Then Le had to repeat it in English.Needless to say the work gocs slowly.A Good Fit.The clothing has been already mentioned.I ran acrogs such an excellent example of what happens in one form or another many times over in every company, that 1 cannot forbear giving 1t here.À certain company was served with great coats.Ail but one man got his great coat, and that man was on guard.There were the proper number of great coats for the men of the company.One \u20ac foot 2 man tried on a coat and found it too large, and it was thrown aside.It was the oily coat ieft unappropriated, and accordingly the man on guard would have to take it.No one moticed anything cut of the way till the man on guard came off duty and wetn for his great coat.The coat was too large for a six-footer and he was five foot five.When he put it on the rest of the company collapsed, and their roars of laughter startled the rest of the camp, while the cause of all the minth muttered some things not altogether complimentary to the officers in charge of the departmental stores.A Swim in the River.Work cannot go on all the time, and the parade was over at 4.3.The parade had hardly been dismissed when a numver of men rushed down the hill, or rather incline, with many a shout to one another, and in a few minutes more wcre enoying a plunge in the little bay opposite the camp.[This was tne first enoyment after a hard two hours and a half drilling in the hot sun.And when the dip was over pipes were much in evidence as the men sauntered back to the camp.Here one tent had {wo sete of boxing gloves, and, in spite oi the heat, lusty young fellows set to work immediately to try who was best man.Others had an indaination towards umping, and indulged it to their hearts\u2019 cor tent.For the majority a pipe and a quiet chat was for the time being the acme of bliss.The Food and Water.While in camp 1 questioned men of every battalion regarding the food and drink provided for them.The food, al but ome man, agreed was good, and better tham they had expected.But the water, oh, that river water! There were a good many on sick leave, and the water was the cause of it all.The camp is an improvement on its predecessors, but in point of numbers and in the gemeral military appearance.Yesterday was the third day of the camp, and already everything ds in good shape.The camp will continue till July 1st.re.\u2014 The Herald, MONTREAL, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1899.Tht SYNOD AND HOTEL LICENSES any Anglicans in Toronto Became Heated Over a Report Presented to Them.rene HOTEL ON THEIR PROPERTY pres Bishop of the Queen City Gives Tavern-Keepers Some Very High Praise, STRONG AND VARIOUS VIEWS.\u2014\u2014 Toronto, June 23 \u2014(Spesial.;\u2014The proceedings of the Anglican Synod yesterday were exciting.It came about over the fol lowing clause in a rcport: \u201cIn view of the building situate on the southeast corner of King and Jarvis streets having been constructed for the purpose of an hotel, the committee recommend that leave be granted to omit irom avy lease thereof the clause prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors.\u201d Mr.Beverley Jones moved as an amendment: That the veport presented be referred back to the commuttee for further information: 1.As regards the houses amd lands of tenants which have heen forfeited and takenp ossession of by the Syod for nonpayment of rent.2, With regard to what prolests the committee have received from tenants purporting to contend that rents were iw- possible rents, and could not be made out of the property.3.A statement showing the comparative value of buildings and lands upon such properties as assessed, and also as valued on any appraisement or valuation made by any valuator employed by the Synod.4.The rents of the several properties as reserved by the leases and as would be awarded on present; values of the ground at 4 per cent.; ; Mr.Beverley Jones said that distresses, forfeitures, ejectments, were the antithesis of Christian treatment.He instanced cases of alleged hardship in dealing with unfortunate tenants.Mr.8S.G.Wood seconded the aiuend- ment.Rev.J.P.Lewis justified the action of the committee.Mr.A.R.Boswell objected to Mr.Jones\u2019 gtatemenits on lhe floor ef the house.They should have been nmde by the comnultee\u2014 (applause)\u2014who would have readily investigated any cases of hardship.The rectors were just as desirous as Mr.Jones that justice should be done.Rev.John Gillespie strongly objected to the reference back.Ex-Ald.Scott, said that it was the money | of the Toronto rectors that preserved tlie properties referred to from being sold for taxes.(Applause.) IEven-Handed justice had been done and the rights of all parties ocnserved.Mr.F.Hodgins denied there had been partiality, unreasonableness or haste on the part of the committee.On the amendment being put only the mover and seconder supported it.The report was then adopted.Hot Debate Ensued.Mr.N.W.Hoyles dhen moved that the report be referred back with instructions to the comaniliee to amend it by slriking out the clause referring to the hotel lease.No monetary consideration, he said, should for a moment be entertained in reference to an hotel license in view of the injury \u2018bhe drink traffic does in the church.(Applause.) I protest,said he,in the strongest way against this Synod doing this year what last year it refused to do.Would Cause Grave Scandal.Rural Dean Sweeney seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr.George Ward, who said it would be a zreat scandal 1f the synod scanctioned any Ii- cense to its property.He had no objce- tion to its being converted into a temperance hotel.He hoped the clause would be most emphatically negatived.No amount of profit could compensate for the stigma that an\u201d hotel license would bring on the church.Didn\u2019t Believe in Prohibition.Rev.J.P.Lewis: I do not believe in prohibition.If the Synod decides there shall be no license you practically give your sanction to prohibition.(Applause and \u201cNo, no!\u201d) Mr.Lewis: I say yes.(Interruption.) Ii you have prohibition you take away from a man the right to decide what he shall eat and what he shall drink.Such a course strikes at liberty and freedom, and the whole moral man begins to shrink the very day you take away his personal liberty.(Applause, and cries of \u201cNo.\u201d) If you have no license to this property, which wes built for an hotel you reduce its value, and then you wish to sell it, | and other persons get a license for it.(Applause.) Let those who are so willing to do the thing that is righteous put their hands in their pockets and pay the Synod the loss.(Laughter).Their conduct is something like Artemus Ward, who was willing to sacrifice all his wife\u2019s relations, (Roars of laughter.) On two occasions, continued Mr, Lewis, when I was travelling, I was glad to get a little liquor, and some of the gentlemen who have so indignantly spoken have probably had the same experience.(Roars of laughter.) The Bishop: Mr\u2019 Hoyle\u2019 motion does not open the question of prohibition.This is not a temperance meeting.A voice: The question is, Shall the Synod continue to hold this property as an unproductive asset or get this embargo removed?Rev.Mr.Kuhring protested against touching any money that came from a bar or any channel for drink.The Gist of the Question.Chancellor Worrell said the matter was a very simple one.The property was built for an hotel; the Synod now holds the property; offers have been made for it; the committee cannot act without leave of the Synod.This is altogether different from flying in the face of the resolution of last year.We only ask for instructions.What does the Synod desire in the matter?I have, continued the Chancellor, not the slightest objection to a properly conducted hotel.(Applause.) I voted against the resolution last year and I shall take the same stand upon this occasion.Rev.John Gillespie spoke to the same efiect.He abhorred bars, but a good \u2018hotel, said he, is a necessity.(Applause.) Let the Synod remember They had £100,- 000 at stake in this matter.The fact of | intoxicating liquors being sold under a license I cannot conceive of as a crime.Applause.) Mr.Barlow, Cumberland, said, for the opponents of a license, the consistent thing thing would be to refuse to receive any money for church or other purpose that came from the liquor trade.(Renewed applause.) The objection comes too late.The property eame to us as an hotel, and as an hotel let us get it out of our hands and out of our accounts.Rev.Dr.Sheraton said to have anything to do with an hotel license would be a scandal on the Synod.Not expediency.but principle, should rule.Far beiter to lcse money than to sacrifice the moral weight and prestize of the Synod by any connection with an hotel license.Rev.Dr.Langtry: To what are we committing ourselves?Do hotels cast a moral stigma on all connected with them in any sense?Are the people who conduct hotels under the ban of the chureh?I know people who conduct hotels who are quite as respectable as members of this Synod.The Bishop\u2019s Tribute.\u2014 Bishop Sweatman agreed with Dr.angtry.The gaeat majority of tavern- keepers, said His Lordship, are members of the Church of England.(Applause.) Hotelksæepers, I believe, are among the best, the most sober, the most respectable, religious and charitable class of people.(Loud applause.) I know one hotel where are found the best supporters and best church workers in the parish.( Rencw- ed applause.) Amid excitement the vote was taken.The amendment striking out the clause relating to the hotel property was carried by 52 votes against 34.The clause was struck out, and the report then carried as amended.CANADIAN ODDFELLOWS.Hamilton Won the Prige for Gett.ny the Most New Members\u2014Ambitious City Also Gets Next Meeting.Ingersoll, Ont., June 23.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The first thing taken up by the Grand Lodge of the Canadian Oddfellows yesterday was the election of district deputy grand mas ters.Invitations were received from Woodstock, Hamilton, Lindsay, Stratford and Windsor for the next meeting of Grand Lodge, and on being voted on Hamilton was unanimously chosen, The E.G.O.announced that the Davis trophy, a magnificent silver vase on an ebony vase, offered to the lodge initiating the most members during the past year, had been won by Advance Lodge, Hamilton, by adding 53 new members; Friendship Lodge, Galt, was a close second with 49, and was presented with a handsome set of officers\u2019 regalia.In the evening the finance committee\u2019s estimates were considered and adopted.The charter fee was reduced from $75 to $50, and a ful loutfit of gavels.ballot boxes, officers\u2019 regalia, rituals, Looks, etc., will be included.It was decided that the competition for the Davis trophy shall close June 1, 1900.passed to the citizens of Ingersoa for the cordial reception and to the sister societies for fraternal greetings and courtesies, and the Grand Lodge then ad- WATCHING FoR DREYFUS, He May be Landed at the Arsenal at Night, No Disorders Are Expected, But Many Secret Police Have Arrived.Brest, France, June 23\u2014The inhabitants of this port are absorbed in the pending arrival of Dreyfus.The question on every one\u2019s lips is, \u201cWhen will he arrive,\u201d but no one seems able to reply.The town, however, is perfectly calm.A few groups of sailors and marines, found gazing seaward from the cliffs admitted they were watching for the French cruiser Sfax, which has the famous prisoner on board, but expressed belief that she would not arrive in the daytime.They thought the warship would be kept outside the harbor until night and that then Dreyfus would be landed inside the arsenal.The military and civil authorities profess not to know even that the Sfax is coming to Brest.A reporter of the Associated Press called at the Maritime Prefecture this afternoon and had an interview wilh the port Admiral Barrerea, who as typical of French politeness, but who displayed most praiseworthy ignorance.Taking a map, he traced the eourse of the Sfax from the Cape Verde Islands and said : \u201cYou see,\u201d she cannot have passed the Canary 1slands before yesterday, so she will not \u2018arrive here at the earliest before Sunday, or perhaps Monday.I have received ab- sclutely no instructions.\u201d In spite of this, La Depeche, of this city, publishes an interview with a naval officer, who is quoted as saying positively that the authorities received the fullest instructions long ago respecting the military and police precautions.It is understood that Dreytus will be landed at the arsenal at night, and strict order?have been given to prevent any one from entering the arsenal.He will then be whisked off to Rennes by special train without staying an hour in Brest.It would be easy, however, to land Dreyfus on the coast in the vicinity of Brest and place him on board a train without the fact becoming known.The military signal men at the semaphore stations yesterday received the strictest orders to exclude all strangers.The French first-class cruiser, Tage, now lying in the harbor, has been instructed to put to sea on Sunday evening, and it is thought she had been ordered to meet the Sfax and have Dreyfus transferred to her.But, Admiral Barrerea says the Tage is simply going to sea for the purpose of experimenting with carsier pigeons.No doubt a big crowd will be present to witness the landing of Dreyfus, if he is at- lowed to be seen.But, no disorders are expected.A detachment of secret police bas arrived here from Paris and has been distributed about the town.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE L.B.P.RAIIWAY, Ottawa, June 23.\u2014(Special.)\u2014A deputation, led by Mr.George McHugh, M.P.for South Victoria, Ont., waited uLon the Premier yesterday and urzed the revival of the subsidy of $3,200 per mile to the Lindsay, Bobcayzeon and Pontypool Railway Company, whose charter has re- \u2018cently been revived.It was urged that if the grant were made operations would be commenced at an early date and the line constructed from Pontypecol on the C.P.R.through Lindsay to Bobcaygeon.Besides Mr.MaHugh the deputation inelud- ed Mr.Thomas Walters, Mayor of Lindsay;

but notwithstanding that fact it was a wonderful sight.he men went through that horde of dervishes like a whirlwind, and every man rode as if on parade\u2014it was glor- icus.In response to a question regarding the dervishes, Capt.Smith said that being Mohammedans, they were absolutely careless of death, as their belief in fatalism is so strong.They are brave, but it seemed as if they had been underfed for ! some time; they hadn\u2019t the physique to {last long in such a hot fight.Four hun- \u2018dred of them\u2014the Baggara horsemen\u2014 armed only with lances, charged against McDonald's square, composed of the Ist Soudanese Brigade of Infantry, but not one of them got within striking distance.They were slaughtered by scores, but still they did not break ranks.They continued to advance until the entire squadron was absolutely wiped out by the well- directed fire of the brave Soudanese.The modest captain said nothing about the 1st Egyptians, and the part they plaved in the battle.\"elicited from him was that it was a \u201clit- \"tle warm.\u201d and that there wefe \u201ca few bullets flying around their heads.\u201d A reference, however, to the oflicial reports of the Battle of Omdurman shows that the 1st Egyptians and their officers greatly distinguished themselves.After the occunation of the towns of Omdurman and Khartoum, the captain remained there with his brigade, drilling recruits who had been drafted into the army from among the prisoners captured at the battle.Over 2.000 are now full fledged privates, and all seem perfectly centented and happy.Khartoum and Omdurman have been thorcughly cleansed and made fit for human habitation, and the sanitary condition is now most sat- isfactorx.Captain Smith is enjoying himself here with the friends of his youth, and will likely be in the city for some time.t\u2014\u2014 PROMINENT BROKER DEAD.New York, June 23.\u2014The death of John C.Moore, of the widely-known stock brokerage firm of Moore & Schley, was announced this aflernoon.He was a director of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and prommently identified with numerous of | He was educated at Bish- Soudanese, officered by tried and trained generally think that the Soudanese land the \u201cGyps\u2019 lack the quality known He AM that could be SECOND SECTION.PRICE ONE CENT.INTERNAL TROUBLES TOOK FIRST PLACE High Level Pumping Station Accident Brought Out Some Interesting Statements at the Sub- Committee Meeting Yesterday.\u2014 \u2014 The report of the sub-committee named dent had been caused by the nezligence ot to inquire into the cause of the acciuent which occurred a few weeks ago at the high-level pumping station was laid upon the table at a meeting of the Water Committee yesterday afternoon, but, contrary to gencral expectation, no action was taken in the maticr.No report will be sent to Council, for the present at least, and further investigation will be pended.The committee generally were inclined to take little or no stock in the report of the accident, but a great deal of importance was attached to the necessity of denying the statements made that Forest and Calligan, employes at the station, who were mentioned in connection with the explosion, were related, the former to the Superintendent of the Water Department! and the latter to Ald.Kinsella.It was reported to certain members of the committee that the accident was the 1esult of a want of mutual understanding among the employes, and that a certain degree of insuvordination existed, and at was said some had refused to do their work properly, saying ihat if they were reported they would seek protection at the hands of their relatives.These rumers seemed to greatly annoy Ald.Kinsella and Superintendent Lafor- est, who were very anxious that it should be known that the employes Culiigan and Forest were in no way related to them.\u201cI don\u2019t see how anybody could ray Calligan was related to me,\u201d Ald.Kin- sella said to Chairman Laporte; \u201che is no more a friend or a relative of mine than you are.\u201d Ald.Laporte was of opinion that much more importance had beep attached to the affair than it really desarved.It was purely and simply an accident, and from a thorough inquiry into the details he was convinced that the responsibility rested upon Mr.Coleman, the engimeer, against whom no charge of incompotency could be lodged, Despite the serious nature of the occurrence, and the awful possibilities, Ald.La- porte did nat wish ito throw too much blame on Mr.Coleman.e had been a good and responsible employe for thirty- eight years, ad during all that time not one accident had happened.It-was not Just to hang a man for a mere accident.Regarding Forest, Ald.Laporte said that personally he could not incriminate him.Forest was not an engineer.It was not his work.In the dischange of his duties.Forest was a good and faithful man.He was a hard worker, possibly there wus a lack of experience.Superintendent Laforest suggested that there was no proof that Forest had let the water into the heated boiler.This was granted.\u201cMr.Coleman, jr., had complained,\u201d the chairman said, *\u2018thait he had no control of the employes, because some of them were \u2018related to an alderman and the superintendent.He was inclined to believe that it was sufficient reason to excuse lack of discipline.Mr.Coleman had made cne report against Mr.Forest some time ago, and that person had been immediately suspended by Mr.Laforest for three weeks, It was the only report he had ever made.Action had been taken upon it, and the superintendent would have done likewise on all reporis sent to him.Therefore ine engincer \u2018had no reason to say that it was owing to a relationship of some employes to certain officials that he could not he cbeved.\u2018It's a nutshell,\u201d Ald.Laporte added, \u201cthe investigation showed that tie accident was caused by a want of proper distribution of ihe responsibilities in ihe station.\u201d , À Teport of the investigation proceedings was taken in writing.Ald.Jacques said the statements made had not been made under oath.If the men who had given evidence had spoken the truth.well -\u2014tley would be afraid to swear to them.The committee should not entertain a similar report unless it were taken under oath.Ald.Laporte said they were not considering a great crime.The investigation, however, was good, it would establish responsibility and restore discipline in that sphere of the water department.As a matter of fact, it was now the model workshop of the whole system.Ald.vacques made a faiut attempt to ecincide with these viwes, and said that if the commititce decided to consider the report in every detail in the enquiry it should be under oath; if, however, the committee would not insist on taking action on the report, he didn\u2019t mind if the evidence were given under oath or not.Ald.Kinsella thought it was a matter unworthy of consideration.Coleman Tad always done his duty.It was a mere accident.Ald.Laporte said it was not absolutely necessary that the committee should report to Council on the matter immediately.It would be done when the work of reorganizing the service and the readjustment of salaries had been attended to.material progress had been made in both these schemes and when that work was disposed of the matter could bz taken up again if necessary.Mr.Laforest said it had been falsely reported that the acci- Su s- two employces who had claimed relation- slip with Ald.Kinsella and himself.He denied that he was a relative of Forest's and hoped the committes would express their coMviction that no such relationship existed.Ald.Gaznon said it was ridicut- ous for the committee to pass a vote on a matter that was purely personal.It was not the committee's concern if reports were made that employes were related to aldermen or officials.The press hal made statements about the relationship; it was not the committee\u2019s duty to pass motions denying them.Ald.Jacques intimated that if the committee did not show to the public thot it believed no relationship existed between the employees and Ald.Kinsella and the Superintendent, there would remain the impression that no action had been taken in the matter, simply because such relationship did exist.Ald.Dupre was of the same opinion.Ald.Laporte deplored the fact that the statement nad been made at all and said that few shops existed where there wus not one or two who were ready to tell stories about their fellow-workers.Ald.Dupre wanted it put in the minutes that Ald.Kinsella and Superintendent Laforest were not related to the employees mentioned in connection with the accident.The committee expressed a belief that such was the case, but no vote to that effect was allowed to be recorded.It was finally decided to leave the report in the hands of the Chairman and the Superintendent, pendifig 4 re-organization and readjustment of salaries.i \u2019 At the opening of the meeting Ald.Jacques informed the committee that the Market Committee, of which he is Chairman, was very anxious that the necessary improvements to tlie cattle market should be made.He wanted the Water Committee to lay the Water pipes there immediately, assuring the committee that he would do all in his power to \u2018have the money reimbursed them.The $7.000 granted by the Finance Committee to the Market Committee could not be touched, he said, as the owners of the market refused to pay their fee unless the floor was repaired.A1d.Jacques moved that Mr.Laforest be authorized to lay four inch pipes from Montana street to the East end abattoir market in such a manner as he should think fit, the cost to be reimbursed the Water Committee.; ; being put, however, the motion carried.Ald.Clearihue said such a motion if adopted would hurt the Water Committee i nthe eyes of the Finance Committee, who might refuse them other grants.On Mr.Laforest submitted the following report on the repairs needed at the Mec- Tavish street station :\u2014 Sp! {he Chairman and Members of the Water Committee : \u201cGentlemen, \u2014I[ have the honor to de ou that, as a consequence oO: il Lorean of a new boiler at the McTavish street station, and to put in good order the boiler building, and also to remedy the accident which occurred there recently, it would be necessary to obtain a grant lo execute the following works : i To cover the old boilers in Russian sheet iron, and to mend the revele a ment in amianthus .++\u2026+0000e0s 300 Tor new ventilator and motor.500 To cover in mica the new boiler _ porches.ee ov oe we wens ee aces 70 New pipes, cleaning and other repairs .\u2026ussere eee seen 0eec ee 02e .700 For repairs already made, resulting from accident to old boilers.125 For a protector to the two old boil- Ers La 20000 a 00 nee 000000000110 0 0000 50 For new couplings, ete.\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026 03 Insertion of new grates in old boil- 5 Ers Lena ane seen ee sea re race 000000 !

unanimously.The following one was also presented on the inadvisability of laying tracks along Atwater avenue :\u2014 \u201cTo the Chairman and Members of the Water Committee : - \u201c(entlemen,\u2014I have the honor to inform you that the construction of a new line, by the Montreal Street Railway, or Atwater avenue, may considerably affect the security of the main pipes of 30 and 24 inches in diameter, which force the water from the elevators to the reservoirs.\u2018I'he railway track west of this line 1s placed 42 feet 7 inches from the line west of the avenue, and the main pipes are situated at 41 feet 5 inches, and 38 feet from this same line, so that they would be almost under the tracks.\u201cOne of these water conducts west is, in consequence of the successive changes in the levelling of the street, buried between from two to four feet of ground.The accumulation of snow in this centre during the winter protects the pipes, but the proposed line, which would do away with the snow, would expose, ipso facto, the pipes to the disastrous effects of the frost, and would thus endanger the water supply to the city passing through these pines.\u201cI consider, in consequence, that to avoid the great danger which these new lines would engender to the water supply in the city, it is necessary to take lawful means to oblige the Street Railway Company to modify its project, and te leave to its primitive destination, At- water avenue, control of which should never have been taken from the Water Department., \u201cI profit of Lis opportunity in informing vou that I have received no official notification from the Street Railway Company to signal the inconvenience which might result to the city of a mode of administration which weuld hold the Water Department in ignorance of works throughout the citv which might affect it.\u201cRespectfully submitted, \u201cJ.O.A.Laforest.\u201d The report was referred to the City Attorneys.THE RUSSIAN PROPOSALS

Massachusetts, _ The feature of the ceremonies in connec- dion with the opening of the new korary at Westmount this week was the address cf Mr.W.I.Fletcher, librarian, of .\\m- herst, Mas.Mr.Fletcher, a past president, and one of the most influential members of the American Library Association, began his career in the Boston Athenaeum under the ncted late Dr.William F.Poole, and has long been widely known in library circles, no less tor his extended acquaintance with books and library practice tham for the judgment and common sense which are always evident whenever he writes or speaks.1lis pre-eminent servicd®, however, in connection with Poole\u2019s Tndex to Periodical Literature constitute perhaps his most impcrtant claim to recognition.The \u201cIndex\u201d has proved a boon, and has made Mr.Fletcher's name familiar to thousands of readers, not only in Canada and the United States, but in England and on the continent.From 1576 until Dr.Poole relinquished the post of editor in 1803, Mr.Fletcher filled the onerous position of associate-editor.Since the latter date, however, Mr.Fletcher, as edi- tor-in-chief, has had the supervision of the entire work.vn Mr.Fletcher\u2019s Address.Mr.Fletcher, in his address, said: Montreal has always been adcalized an my mind.It was as a very small boy that 1 utood on the cunbstonc, opposite the Old South Church in Boston, in 1831, and witnessed the passing of the procession which was part of the great celobration of the opening of railroad communication ketween Boston and Mcntreal.My boyhood home was on the line of the Boston und Lowdl Kailroad, and cars passed daily which went to and from Montreal, To my childish imagination your grand, vid city loomed as almost a capital of fairy- und.I remember the excursions which for several years, under the guidance of one Perham, ran from Boston to Mottreal, at fabulously low prices.One of l'erlum's excursion trains bound for Montreal had twenty-three cars\u2014the longest train tha® ever passed our house-\u2014ior I counted every car of every train.Each successive car i: creased my admiration, and almost my envy; of its occupants.To think that iwenty-three carlcads of people could go to Montreal, and I could only see them go by! Many years later, when at last with a | good period of manhood behind me, and after having several times passed through Your cily in the night, en trips to or from | the west, I was privileged, as a guest of Mr.Gouid\u2014whem I had learned in mv .Massachusetts home to know and to honor | \u2014to spend a day here, I found that mv boyish imagination had not pictured half the reality.From the day when I first ascended Mount Royal, and gazed over the city in its matcliless setting of river and plain, I have given it a first place in my dreart, among all the cities of this fair ocntinent; and I come to take a humble part in the ceremonies which mark a step forward in the devcbopmenic of the city, With the feeling that although you might have called on somcone more capable of gracing with fit words such an occasion, you could hardly have found one ready to join more heartily in your rejoicing over an addition to the claims which Montreal makes on \u2018the affections of its peoples and of its lovers from afar.Moral Usefulness of Libraries.Coming to his subject after some introductory remarks, Mr.Fletcher said:\u2014 Most of these who have endeavored to exalt the publie 1i- brary have dwelt on its practical useful- ness\u2014its direct service to the State.Lhe constantly repeated idea of the library is that it is part of the educational system, aiding schools in their work, and enabling adults, the school age being passed, 10 continue their education.All this is true, but it has been so well said and =o often, that, important as it is, it does not seem 16 need saying again.A thought of the library as finding, after all, its most important mimistry in the realm of the cesthetic and the spuritual, | is not one so familiar.Not only is the practical, utilitarian view of the iibvary s imfluence constantly presented, but, on tho other hand, fears are often) expressed that evident tendencies on the part of the public to use the library for purposes of what bs called \u201cmere recreation,\u201d indicate a failure of the library to accomplish its true mission.From amy such view Mr.Winthrop\u2019s saying, with all that it implies, would lead ua to dissent completely.Turning from the comparison of the public library to the school and college, to a view which relates at rather to the public park, we are penhaps first struck with the thought that since these words of Mr.Winthrop\u2019s were spoken there has been an.immense development in the park sys tems in our cities, and in views and sentiments concerning outdoor recreation.Wie can to-day put meaning into a comparison of tthe library with the park barely hinted at in Mr.Winthrop's comparison of it to Boston Common.He had in mind, as shown by the context of the passage 1 have cited, the office of the common as a playground for the young, and a place of rest and refreshment for their elders.The park of to-day, with its variety of attraction and of offered means of rcerea- tion, may well furnish a- figure by which ave may describe such an institution as the public library.Perhaps it were only necessary to suggest the comparison, far anost of you to see whither the thought, if \u2018carried out, would lead.But I would indicate a dew of the distinct benefits conferred by the publie park, as representative of similar ones contributed by the library in its higher sphere.Park as a Playground.In the first place, that of the playground.\u2018Amusement, wiich had little place in the Puritanic scheme of life, has come to be recognized as a thing nol simply harmless and to be tolerated, but to be so provided on one hand, and entered into on the other, as to constitute a large and important factor in the aesthetic development of the individual or of the community.\u2018The immediate effect of the introduction of playgrounds into the slum districts of some of our large cities has been to materially reduce the prosecutions for minor crimes.Certainly, it is very seldom that we nowadays hear the expenditure of larre sums of money on amuseinenits condemned as a waste.On the contrary, ihe fact that.in a considerable share of the expenditure required for the public spark, amusement is the sole object, has no standing as an objection to such an expenditure.This being so, why should not the publie library also find one of its important functions in furnishing amusement to its patrons ?Those who have giwen any attention to the history of public libraries in this country are aware that in nearly every care the libraries report that some three- fourths of the books taken out are works \u201cof fiction; and nothing is more common than for would-be moralists and e~onom- \u2018Nats bo hold up this faot as an-indication | - gs viracy xe aR gc =, vv that the libraries are not accomplishing \u2018the purpose for which they were founded.Fiction in the Library.Leaving aside, for the time being, the claim that can be made for good fiction\u2014 such as is circulated by the publie lib- raries\u2014that it is distinctly educative and beneficial to the reader, and admitting, for the sake of the argument, that this fiction reading represents merely the amusement of the majority of those patronizing the library, it may still be urged that in providing amusement in the form of reading, and of reading freed\u2014 as that of the public library is sure to be\u2014from the too sensational and possibly injurious element, the library is ministering largely to the welfare of the community.lf one were to follow these books into the homes into which they go, and note i how hard and full of toil and drudgery many of these lives are, he could not fail to be impressed with the value of any agency which would contribute to the deliverance, even through the imag- mation, out of the hard circumstances of the daily life into a better world, where things are as they ought to be.The uti- litaran argument along this line is not without force, for it may be shown that public benefits, such as the lessening of crimiral offences, and consequently the cost of criminal and judicial apparatus, accrue from provision for the sane and wholesome amusement of the people, particularly of the young.But we prefer to hold it 4s, sufficient justification of this function (# the library that it makes life more worth living for the multitudes to whom it is at best hard enough.I fail, then, to sce why we need deprecate or apologize for this tendency of the pepole to seek for buoks that shall merely make life pleasanter or more endura- Lle; let us rather rejoice that in the library we find an agency which can go far beyond the possibilities of the park in providing enjoyments and amusement, not only harmless, but positively beneficial, Benefits of Good Fiction.As I have hinted before, it were a gross injustice to the fiction-reading from our public libraries to credit it with no more than the amusement of the reader.\"The time is altogether too short for me here and now to enlarga upon the benefits derived from the reading of good fiction.+ 1t is enough for the present purpose mere- lv to call your attention to what I am sure is the experience of you ail: thaË many of your best thoughts, aspirations and motives have ibeen derive& from the reading of works of fiction; and 1 wish only to ask you to join heartily with me An repudiating that view of reading which would call none good that is not made up of fact or abstraction.But we find those who have the charge and direction of our public parks constantly striving, not only to furnish the means of amusement and recreation to which we have alluded, and so meet existing demands, but by increasing and developing the beauties and attractions of the place, to iyprove and reflne the public taste.: To this poidt, then, we are led in a comparison of the library to the park\u2014 to think of it as a means of inspiration to the community.For not only art, but literature, is inspiring; and while the multitude chiefly seeks books which furnish amusement and recreation and not much else, the library will be constantly finding an increased number of those capable of responding to the inspirations of the master minds.Ilcre, it must be confessed, the influence of the library is at its best and highest, and in ministering to such wants the librarian may most truly feel that he is in an exalted position of influence.It\u2019s Three Functions.Thus I have indicated three functions nf the library, as suggested to us by the public park, quite foreign to the scheme of its advantages generally presented by the economist.They bave to do with a department of human nature of which the economist makes little\u2014that which we call the aesthetic, or perhaps more properly, the spiritual.Did 1 not conceive of the library as finding its highess service to the community in ministrations to that which is spiritual and moral, I should have far less interest in the calling of the librarian than 1 now have, and should enter less heartily into a celebration like that of to-night.But 1 do not wish to leave thie subject here.There is one aspect of the economie argument for the library which, as it seems te me, may be related closely to the aesthetic side which we have been considering.1 refer to the matter of the use of the public iibrary in connection with the schools, which has always seemed to me one of its most promising and hopeful developments.Interested heartily in the co-operation of the library and the school, and eager to do all that might be done to promote that co-operation, 1 would suggest, in connection with the line of thought which we have been following, a different aspect of the relation of the library to the school from that which is generally presented.Not simply that it nay aid teacher and pupil in the ordinary routine of school work, increase the sources oË information in the study of various subjects, and cuftivate familiarity with books as instruments of study and research, important as these ends are, would I relate the pubile library to the schools.But rather would I seek to introduce into the schools, by means of the public\u2019 library, the study and love of lilerature; seeking here, as in other departments of library work, the aesthetic and spirftual ends, rather than the practical and utilitarian, In Relation to Schools.Tn this work of introducing children in school to literature, only a beginning seems to have been made.The mere provision of books by the library, with facilities for their free and ready use in the schools, is but one step.This step was practically taken in tbe district school library system inaugurated by De Wiit Clinton and Horace Mann, in New York and Massachusetts, over fifty years ago, and spreading throughout most of the northern States of the Union.That such a system, inaugurated with such acclaim, was so nearly a complete failure, has been inexplicable to those who have recorded its history.It is beginning to be seen that the system as then established lacked the one element needed to make it productive of the good which Horace Mann so fondly anticipated; namely, a teacher competent to guide pupils in their use of books.There is no more interesting phase of present library progress in the United States than the effort now being made in some of the States, notably in Wisconsin, to introduce into normal school work such a study, not simply of literature, but of the art of teaching literature, as shall produce teachers who shall able so to use hooks made available to them by the public libraries as to create in young children, and develop and increase as the years go by, a genuine interest in and love for the best reading.Sueh à movement seems to have endless possibilities of geod, but it is not necessary that this movement should wait upon the possibly slow movement of educational authorities in normal schools.Individual teachers interested in such a work may find, apart from what they may work out by themselves, excellent help in the work of teaching literature in this sense.In mary papers that have been presented to educational bodies\u2014notably to the National Educational Association\u2014 within the last few years, and particularly in the little book, \u2018Literary Landmarks.\u201d by Mary E.Burt\u2014a book which it seems to me must be regarded as marking an epoch in the history of achool education.Miss Burt\u2019s plan is to introduce the youngest children, through their natural love of fairy-tales and stories oO: wonder, to the leading legends of classic antiquity; marking out very early in the school Tourse the general outlines of literary history as it appears in its chief landmarks, so far as they can be presented\u2014 as they very largely can be\u2014so as to appeal to childish imagination and interest; and in successive years of school lite skilfully filling in this scheme until the children, entering the high school, are prepared, by a knowledge of general literature, and by a cultivated taste in that which is best in literature {cultivated not by repression but by encouragement) are prepared to read and enjoy the masterpieces of literature.; This should not be thought of as involving the putting of literature in the schools as an additional study.Children, as a rule, do not love the subjects which they study; and this course in the art of reading can only be successfully introduced under the guise of recreation.Make People Welcome To this literary and intellectual common then let the people come.Let the - barriers between them and the books be as few and slight as possible\u2014no_ forbidding railing to make it seem as if either it were unsafe to let the people at the books or the books at the people.No \u2018catalogue so constructed, by the most accurate and technical system, as to be per- \u2018feet in its kind and yet be unintelligible to the average reader.In short, let there be no necessity that the reader's wants shall be met through the use of apparatus; rather let him find here a librarian and attendants not of that impossible kind who can answer all questions and know everything that is in all the books, but of that possible kind, which is happily becoming more and more common, who clieerfully and sympathetically and invitingly place all that they have at the disposal of whoever resorts to the library.Let not the budding desire or aspiration of the young or the un- | intelligent seeker be frozen by any sign of that contempt for such ignorance so natural to one who knows more, but who i lacks the grace of helpfulness.Let no | set of rules, drawn up with refined ingenuity to cover every possible infrac- \u2018tion of the requirements, real or imag- {inary, of the library, constitute a series lof pitfalls, having fallen into several of which, to the detriment of his patience and his pocket, the reader shail declare {that he will come no more.To such a | common as I have thus endeavored to \u2018depict the people will resort, young and old, rich and poor, learned and unlearned, finding, according to their capacity, amuse- .ment, recreation and inspiration, and best jof all being led by the power of good \u201chooks and the gracious influence of helpful attendants to ever higher aspirations lof heart and soul, and consequent greater achievements in life.eel 6 Yor, 8 GLEN SCHOOL, WESTMOUNT.Closing Ex :zreise Took Place Yesterday \u2014AnInteresting Programme of Singing and Recitations, \u2018The closing exercises of Westmount Glen School were held on Thursday, Hon.J.K.Ward, Mr.Hutchinson, D.C.L, and Rev.E.Bushell, School Commissioners, were present.Prizes were distributed to the junior classes by Mr.Ward and Mr.Hutchinson, and the Mayor of West- mount.Mr.J.R.Walker gave the medals and prizes to the senior classes.An \u2018interesting programme of singin® and rec:- | tation was gone through during the morning.The most popular was a charming recitation by Edythe Watson, called \u201cMy Shadow,\u201d and it was rendered almost perfectly by this little girl of six years, Addresses were also given to the pupils and parents by the Rev.K.Bushell, M.A, rector of Westmount and Chairman of the School Commissioners, and the Principal, Mr.John Harland.\u2018The following is the.prize list: Senior Class\u2014Boys\u2014Medallist, Walter Ahern;

the children of Weut- mount would make vse of it.Mr.Thompson, Mr.Graham and Mr.Everet also spoke a few pleasant words to the purpose.Mr.Nicholson, the principal, then presented this repont.He said that the inter- eat of the exercises this year was much diminished by the fact that no results for the four higher grades could be announced, and consequently no prizes could be awarded.This year the A.A.and Quebec examinations had been postponed two weeks, and this made 1t impossible to secure results before closing.When the results did come to hand they would be published, and the medals and prizes awarded on reassembling in September.The rest of the work had been very satis- faatory, and he took occasion to thank both teachers and pupils for their efforts.¢ He spoke also of the overcrowding of the Academy, but hoped that this would be remedied when the new school they contemplated erecting was completed.They had added this year to the library 56 new volumes.The total number enrolled was { 707; the average attendance, 624; the num- | ber who Look the A.A.and Quebec ex- | aminations, 108.After singing the National Anthem the pupils were dismissed for the summer holidays.\u2018The following is a partial prize list: Senior (boys)\u2014Leslie Minto, first general proficiency and application to study;

better a wash day, but the world of work wemen have for 60 long gone to sleep Sunday right dreading the laundry work ol tle next day that I daresay they wourkin\u2019t be really sure it was Sunday if they grre themselves cme day to clear up the house, end slock the larder with something besides the proverbial cold mutton.Tuesday, of course, they iron.\\Wedneedsy they bake {and it\u2019s generally time, too}, Thursday and Friday the rugs are out on the back galleries, the curtains arc looped up, the dust flies and so do the dusters.Saturday is for kitchen-cleaning, ond the Sunday cooking, and the week has gone.Nobody knows where it went, few care.The aim of mamy people seems to be to put work behind them.Dut What's the use, if it must all be done over \u2018Again ?If it wasn't for the clear consciences we all like to have, how some of us could dawdle away our time and be supremely happy in the dawdling.I wonder why house-mistresses make so many hard and fast rules fôr their ser- wants.\u201cNecessity compels them,\u201d is the answer in a Universal chorus; and I suppose it\u2019s true, but most mistresses are disinclined to regulate themselves by rules, and the open disregard of them is certainly very bad policy so far as example goes - \u2018What an insane idea some women have | about marriagd They cluster their girls about them and tell you the girls will never marry\u2014that they are going to be too sensible; that they would rather stay with mother and not break her heart by going away.Their boys they question minutely to see if any idea of marriage in the immediate future is lurking in their minds, and Gf they think there is some girl in particular in the biz world somcwhere, The woman who has a happy married life will wish for her girls and her boys nothing better than a repetition of her It may be very de- kzhtful to gather your babies about you, and to think they are all in all to you, and you are everything to them.It is strength to your weakness to feel that the growing girls and boys depend upon you for guidance and sympathy .But that is only until they are full grown, They must live their own lives.It is not best for them to be always hangers-on to your wisdom, your energy, your powers of mental or moral perception.The mother birdie who resolutely turns her litile ones out of the mest is not half so cruel as she looks to be.She is a shrewd wee thing after all.It is best for birdies and humans to shift for themselves after they are fully fledged.But your girls are so dependent, you say.Of course they are.So are the feathered nestlings, until they learn that \u2018their wings with the air-filled quills will bear them through the air, of which they are almost a part.\u2018And so for their best happiness, because she knows that people married heart to heart, as well as hand to hand, are \u2018of all the world\u2019s fortunate the most i160 be envied; the mother whose life has not been a mistake will not implant wrong ideas of marriage to her children\u2019s minds, end will not try to bind them to her by artificial ties of loyalty, or love, when the sweet old bonds of dependence have been outgrown.There are monthers who point out to their daughters the difficulties of married life; who tell their sons with many a sary smile to prize their freedom and to use their own earnings before an extravagant wife gets \u2018her itching fingers upon them.The women who do that are nreckers\u2014worse than the beasts of prey of the ocean.They wreck happiness, gow discord, implant distrust, and will vet, in all probability, decry the whole institution of matrimony if their sons and daughiters-in-law are not able to make perfect happiness around their heartn- slones.In direct contrast to the women who hold their children around them, selfishly or, fearfully, is that mother, who, seeking her case, and believing that comfort is & n'atiter of dollare and cents, strives to marry her children young, to settle them off into homes of their own\u2014not because she thinks that life\u2019s sweet old love-story is the best life has to give, but because she thinks a woman adds to her dignity by marriage, that maiden daughters are fnisunderstood, or because there is something in the matrimonial market which had to be \u201ccornered\u201d row or never.Most mothers have a very anxicus time of the days when the daughter is dazzled by the glitter of her engagement ring and basking in the light of her lover's eves.If the mother had miuch to do with tle engagement she wonders if she was right in her surmiscs, and if she really read character as well ag she had always thought ske could.If the engagement ryas of the young pecmle\u2019s making exclusively, she cannot help wishing they had allowed ber wt least one finger in it.And the marriage day is a day of brave suriles and lurking tears.The mothers call the old time back and remember with wistful tenderness how much the sweet \u201cI will\u201d meant.They grow young agoin, they are glad of the new path opening out before the girlish feet, and you there is always the fear of a mistake.It saddens them while they smile and twitches their lips into tremulous little curves when they kiss the dear girl: brides good-bye.And the daughters don\u2019t understand it.They fcel so important, and they know they look so well in their going-away epwns.They are relieved to think the fuss of the wedding is all over.They look forward to years and years of un- ulloyed bliss.They can\u2019t understand mwhy any one cover cries at a wedding.Of course it\u2019s rather sad to leave home with all one\u2019s belongings and to have no right to be known by father\u2019s name\u2014to bo Mrs.Somebody or other, and carry wne\u2019s husband\u2019s cards in one\u2019s card case, instead of mother\u2019s; but it\u2019s nothing to ery over, think the dainty brides, as they ge clattering off with maybe somebody's mischievous rice grains, an old shoe or two, and more white ribbon than the bride bargained for.But all will go- well, if down deep in their hearts the wedded pair know that no consideration other than an attraction bern of mutual interests and mutual tastes has drawn them together, and if they can say with no shadow from the past to deaden their joy: \u201cThere\u2019s nothing hal£ 50 swcet in life as love\u2019s young dream.\u201d \u201cWho would want to be out of town these days \u201d sighed a giddy girlie who loves excitement, \u201cfor we've races, the circus and all the June weddings to go to.\u201d ) The extremely candid people-are, offen- er than not, delusions.They've built up a reputation for candor, by being outspok- cn about the affairs of other people.Their own comings and goings, opinions and hopes, they keep entirely to themselves, even if they turn sharp corners to dodge falsehoods.The small boy and girl, and the older boys and girls who wished they were small, so they could say \u201cOh\u201d when they wanted to, were very much in evidence at the circus.It was a good circus, too, with plenty of animals, an immense tent, The smooth assurance of the men who arc

me,\u201d said the St.Catherine street milliner who has a rare genius in the way of pretty kats which fit your head.\u2018Some people will tell me how to do things, and of course I have to do them.\u201d There's an awful truth in that one re- mark\u2014a piece of injustice to the miiliner and to the good points of the woman who is to wear the hat.I wonder how many generations of us will have to live and die before we get over the habit of trying to instruct people in their own professions ?Most of us are so stupid that when we have an ideal chapeau, we either dress our tresses so they quarrel with it, or we will set the hat wrong way on.\u201c\u201cDoesnt\u2019 it make you frantic to sec your customers come in with their hats worn badly ?\u201d I asked.\u201cIndeed, yes; and

we've had,\u201d cried a pretty woman, with her neck done up in pink chiffon, as the chariots, drawn by four horses abreast, tore around the circle.\u201cThat\u2019s the best,\u201d shouted a lad, as two horses did a cake-walk.What queer people you see at a circus.You never see the same crowd in any other place.The great lurching lad who earned his own ticket, jostles the pale little girl who limps and holds tightly to her father\u2019s hand.Young women are there, with all their dainty summer fluffiness, and old women, upon whose set, sad faces, this bit of gaiety sits very strangely.Darbies grown old take Joans and they see everything and exclim at everything, and are royally happy.The old coupie sat near.They had the look of those who have shared the saine life for a long time, and their features had taken pattern from one another.If she was in danger of missing anything, be plucked her sleeve and pointed a not too clean finger at the attrac tion, and if he was making any mistake about the ring that needed most attention, she nudged him with her elbow and purred its praises into his ear, accommodatingly bent down for the occasion.It was hot, oh, so hot, and the sight of the great closely packed mob was not conducive to comfort.\u201cNice cool lemonade!\u201d was cried, and carried up and down, and those who believed not in mi- erobes and hed faith in the washing of the glassce, drank and slaked their thirst good for a little.\u201cNo, you must just pin it,\u201d and while I studied the disposition of the ends, 1 reluctantly gave up my pet idea that a veil ought to be twisted and have the ends tucked under the twist.The energies of a small boy were curbed the other day while he was having a beautifully exciting chase after a particularly fine butterfly.It was brown, with big black blotches, and a tint of yellow on its outspread wings.He did not speak English, but the command in the tone of a masculine voice made itself known to him though the English words may remain forever a mystery.He looked undecided when the pretty creature poised iteelf on a lump of earth almost within grasp, but he was a very little boy, and the man looked as if he meant what he seemed to have said, so the little lad joined his sisters, and they all three trotted off with a backward glance or two, composed of equal parts of disappointment and indignation.\u2018 \u2014_\u2014 ; NOT A TRAGEDY.| Over the cobble stones, street, He heard not the sound of her flying feet; Did she give up the chase ?No, indeed, .down the long or he Was peddling

if you want to be out in the wind and to take your hat off, if you feel like it; if you believe outdoors is your home and the house your stopping-place for wet weathers and winters and the big dark nights, don\u2019t bother about your freckles.It\u2019s too bad your sweetheart doesn\u2019t like them, and as you can't change your face and complexion, wouldn't it be a better plan to change your sweetheart ?Balding.\u2014 You misunderstood your friend, I'm afraid.A woman, even if she likes a man, i so afraid of showing him her heart before he has shown his, that she scmetimes freezes up too much.If he likes you only in a friendly way, she will iikely be much more frank with you than if she has the beginning of a love-story stowed away behind her eyes.Any woman will wait for a man she cares for, and while long engagements are often very undesirable, they sometimes give people a chance to find out that it would be positive wrong for them to marry.L.MeG.\u2014Buy yourself a nice ittle expense book and set to work to keep accounts.It\u2019s the only satisfactory way to keep house.You know then what your items of expenditure are, and you can tell at a glance if there is too much paid for certain articles or if the number of pounds of tea or sugar have made jumps that have no real right to be made.if you use a pound of tea one week, and two pounds all but a brewing the next, with the same number in the family, something needs looking into.It\u2019s horrid to be obliged to pok: into housekeeping items with a servant who looks honest, but it\u2019s best for her, dear, and best for you, if she finds out in the beginning that you have a very accurate idea of how much this and that and the other your household ought to use.Certainly you should have a housc-keeping allowance.A man who doesn\u2019t believe in that ought to be put back in kilts and brought up right.You can\u2019t manage a house economically and satisfactorily without a stated sum.If it doesn\u2019t matter what you spend, you would probably be considered lucky, but it isn\u2019t thrifty, and there\u2019s something very attractive in the Thought of a nice, well-balanced housekeeping book, presided over by a nice womanly woman, who adores her husband, loves her children and spends hours of happiness in sorting out her house-linen and putting fresh lavender between the folds of towels and sheets and pillowslips.J.\u2014From what you say, I should judge that you cannot ride very far yet, and don\u2019t force yourself to do miles and get all tired out.The Lachine ride is the easiest, but it is also the best patronized, and if you like the country all quiet by itself, you can ride out to Sault au Recollect by the Back River road or the St.Michel, out to Cartierville, through quaint St.Laurent, around the mountain and come down Guy street or around the two mountains, and come in by Cote St.Luke and Western avenue.Then after a while you will ride to St.Anne's and Bout de l\u2019Isle, and explore little cross roads, and find ruts of whose depth and breadth and contrariness you could never have dreamed, and you will feel as if you were winged, and grow happy and hungry out in the clear fresh air.You will ride down town of necessily some- timés, but usually you will find your freedom out on the mountain roads, or out between the green fields where there are not so many people, Marvel \u2014What a heart-break came into your life when the dreadful thing happened.do not wonder you were almost beside yourself at the time.Neither is it out of the ordinary that the pain grows less and less.\"That is one of the mercies.lt is not that we regret our friends the less as time goes on, but we grow accustomed to their absence, and habit is a great deal to our natures.think if we could only remember to say over and over to ourselves when we are in trouble, \u201cIt cannot last long;

Ottawa, June 24\u2014Much of the interest of the present session of the House of Commons has centred in the discussion of the transportation problem.As has al ready been pointed out in The Herald, confidence has been steadily growing among the members in the Canadian transportation scheme outlined by the Minister of Public Works, and as the real significance of the problem has been appreciated, the opinion has become practically unanimous that Montreal should be equipped as a national port.One of the evidences of the general appreciation of the importance of developing Canada has been the incorporation during the present session of a number of leading Canadian business men under the name of the Canadian Inland Transportation Company, the aim of wlich, as Was shown in the report in yesterday's Herald of an interview with the Premier, is not only to taie advavtage of the great natural waterways, but to provide elevators at Moat- real and elsewrgre, for the handling ot the grain trade or the West, Since thus deputation waited upon the Premier, The ierald correspondent has been able to secure a copy of a memoran: dum presented by the company to the d'remier sume time ago.- The Transportation Problem.\u201cThe cost ef transportation, says this memorandum, has not been reduced an proportion to tile decline within recent years in the price of raw material and mer- chundise, and consequently freight charges are becoming increasingly burdensome to shippers who are a considerable distance from their market.\u201cThe matter of transportation Las been so successfully handled in the United States that with natural advantages, inferior to those of Canada, the Amerieans have not only maintained almost sole control of the carriage of American grain products, to the seaboard, but have succeeded in obtaining the larger part of the Canadian business.This has been accomplished mainly by the development of a Great Lake mercantile marine., \u201cln 1897 the quantity of wheat shipped from Fort William and Port Arthur amounted to 17,359,127 bushels.Out of this 10,712,876 bushels were \u2018exported via Buffalo, and 2,007,593 bushels via Montreal; the balance being for home consumption.In 1898, 4,301,904 bushels were exported from Fort William va, Buffalo, and 559,- 615 bushels via Montreal, 4,567,258 bushels being the amount required for home consumption, or in other words in 1897, 84 per cent., and in 1898, 83 per cent.of the Manitoba wheat sent from the Canadian head of the lakes found its way to the At- Jntic seaboard through a foreign country.\u201cThe evils resulting from this diversion There is a loss tof both Canadian capital and labor.Au therities all agree that the exnert or grain from Western Canada is only in its infancy, and the value of this carrying trade will steadily gain in importance.The shipping interests do not suffer alone, but with them the merchants, banks, and other commercial interests of the country.Jt has been the settled policy of all the (tovernment\u2019s of Canada since Contedera- tion to connect the different Provinces so closely together that the Dominion will be something more than a Federation for political purposes.This is impossible so long tered in the Dominion that are at all suited to the requircments of this high- Way.Canadian capitalists have hitherto been unwilling to invest in vesscl property for the St.Lawrence grain carrying trade, apparently fearing that they couid nos successfully compete with the Buffalo n- terests.Whether this timidity is justified by the cenditions T1 trade is a question for consideration.Freight Rate Statistics.« LL .À close examination of the rates charg- TRADE BETWEEN U.S: AND CANADA Bureau of Statistics at Washington Prepares Some Interesting Facts.\u2014 THIS IS A VALUABLE MARKET Alaskan.Boundary Temporary Agreement Official Announcement Soon Expected.CERTAIN CLASSES UNHAPPY ed and the cost of handling grain shipped via Buffalo to New York reveals the fact! that grain from the Upper Lakes can be delivered alongside the ocean vessel at Montreal or Quebec as cheaply as it can .be at New York, notwithstanding that the route sufiers from lack of transportation facilities.\u2018\u2019lhe cost of transportation via the St.! Lawrence can be matérially reduced by the adoption of a policy which will im- ciude the following: \u201cThe construction of a fleet of ten or more full Welland Canal size steel wessels, modern economical grain carriers, cayable tof carrving 78,000 bushels of whzat on a 14-foot draft, and 108,000 bushels of wheat on an 18-fool draft; cheap capital for construction to be obtained so that the iixed charges will be reduced to a minimum amount, Welland Canal at Port Collsorne and Port palhousie, so thui vessels can load to 18 cet.\u201cThe construction of small barges, with floating elevators, for use in the Welland Canal; so that ves-ols leaded tn 18 feet can discharge 30,000 bushel: into the float- again at Port Dalhousie fiom the barge with elevator.\u201cThe erection of large e'evators at Montreal and Quebec to receive cargoes without i delaying vessels.\u201cExtensive ~ harbor improvements at Montreal and Quebec t» meet the requirements of increased traffic.\u201cThe creating of a transportation com: pany, baring its own elevators and terminal facilities in addition to a fleet of modern vessels, all under economical centralized management, \u201cThe effect of such improvements at the Welland Canal as suggested shown in the following particulars.Size of the Vessels.\u2018The lake routes via Georgian Bay ports, with long railway hauls, are placed at a decided disadvantage with all-water routes, aud although thev would continue to take even a large share of the growing trade, the all-water route.All transportation companies are anxious to secure.as high rates as possible, competition determining the rate.Jn the event of any new route being established by short railway haul irom Georgian Bay to a Lake Ontario port, Canadian ves=els engaged in the through carrying trade could go to any port on Lake Ontario for cu'gues 1f it paid to go there., \u201cLarge grain carriers to Georgian Bay ports are supposed to carry grain so much cheaper than Welland Canal s ze vessels, that much is made of this in favor of lake and rail routes.Such a contention, however, is not undisputed.Mr.McDougall, of Duluth, says that \u2018the larze lake steamship and its ads;antages have been overdrawn.\u2019 \u201cThe actual saving in carrying grain in a large lake carrier over the cost of carrying in a full Weiland Canal size vessel 1s as the important wheat-growing territory of Western Canada is dependent upon the Eastern States for a channel through which to market its staple products.To prevent this and build up an economical highway through Canadian territory for wextern products is a matter of national importance.Use of the Waterways.\u201cAs previously mentioned, the success of the American carrying trade has been accomplished mainly by the growth of a large United States mercantile marine on the Great Lakes.The failure of the Canadian carrying trade is the result of the iack of such a marine, lost in one transhipment from the lake carrier to the cars.\u201cIt should not be oyerlooked that large ; lake vessels during the winter are tied uv | Ï | | | | \u201cIt is a well established fact that deep | water transportation is far below the cost of transportation by rail.S.A.1howmp- son, of Duluth, stated to a special commit- | tee of the Canadian Senate *\u2018that in general the cost of deep water transportation 1s only about one-tenth the average cost of rail transportation.In the yearly blue- book of American skipping tor 1397 a comparative record is given of the cost of moving the same class of freight on land under the most favorable circumstances.In 1894 the cost of moving by water was .99 mills per ton per mile.In 1895 it was 1.14, and m 1396 it was .69 mills.By rail over the New York Central in 1894 it was 4.31 mills per ton per mile.In 1895 it was 4.09, and in 1896, 4.25 mills.On the Take Shore and on the Michigan Southern it wus about the same.In the volume on \u2018Commerce on the Great Lakes,\u201d issued by the United States Bureau of Statitstics, the comparative cost for 1890 is there given as 1.3 mills per ton per mile by water, and on long aul by rail, under most favorable condi- Hane as 5.2 mills per ton per mile.\u201cIn the construction and enlargement of the several canals between Montreal and Lake Superior, having an aggregate length of 71 miles, the Dominion Government has expended over $83,000,000.No country can boast of as great a system of inland water communication.Grain Carrying Trade.\u201cCanadian grain is carried in American bottoms to American ports mainly because there are not sufficient Canadian bottoms to carry it to Canadian ports.À well nown marine authority, writing i ; Cleveland Marine Review of October the 1897, remarks \u2018that with the present condition of things the American fleet has steadily overborne that of Canada, until to-day there is practically no Canadian fleet on the Welland route.There passed through the Sault Ste.Marie Canals in 1898 21,234,664 tons of freight, having a value of $70v,000,000.For the carriage of these goods it is estimated that the sum of $15,000,000 was paid to vessel owners.Less than 4 per cent.of this freight was carried in Canadian bottoms, the profits of the trade being distributed almost entirely among the vessel owners of Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth and Detroit.A commitfee of the Montreal Corn Exchange reported recently that \u2018when there is a pressure for tonnage it is impossible to secure Canadian vessels adapted to the carriage of wheat, and that is not only the case in #he autumn, when the largest movement of Manitoba wheat takes place, but also at all seasons when there is a free movement.\u201d \u201cThe building of a Canadian mercantile marine is absolufely essential to complete the plans of the Government in regard to the St.Lawrence route.At present there | perior to ! are only four grain carrying vessels regis- in forced idlene-s, while full Welland Canal size will be able, at the close of navigation, to.pass down the St.Law-' rence and engage in either the coasting or.transatlantic trade.The earnings of sucn a ves-el during the winter mouths should go a long way toward establishin: the superiority of this type of vessel.\u201cCanadian railroads have been largely subsidized by the Canadian Government, as well as by many of the municipalities, and large amounts have been borrowed at a low rate of Interest by the issue of fixed bonds, materially reducing the charges, and enabling the railway companies to-reduce the cost of transportation.\u201cOcean steamship companies are subsidized as well, with the same results.to place a large fleet of grain vessels on the St.Lawrence route, so that the fixed charges of the company could be reduced ! \u201cThe deepening of the approaches to the ing elevators and pass through the canal.on l4-foot draft, taking on the extra cargo may berates would be regulated and controlied by - If similar aid was given to any substantial\u2019 inland transportation company, prepared ee (From the Resident Correspondent of The Herald.) Washington, D.C., June 23.\u2014In the pause which comes between the confident official assurance of a temporary agreement on the Alaska boundary que.tion and the reassembling of the Joint High Commission, some inevitable reflections are going on in official minds in Washington.It may be that the same is true in Ottawa.Conflicting reports have been published during the last few cays regarding the progress which is being made by the State \" Department and the London Foreign Cflice to establish a modus vivendi.There is little doubt that the desired agreement will be officially announced within a short time, however, and the statement made in The Herald two weeks ago to the effect that a tempor- ; ary settlement had been made will piove to have been correct, when the official correspondence between the | british and United States Governments | becomes known, Meanwhile the fear that the negotiations of the Joint High Commission .would never be renewed, followed as it was by the gratifying progress accom- \"plished by means of direct correspondence batween Washington and London has led this Goverment to reflect rather se:icusly on the bad consequences of failure and the advantages of success.| An indication of \u2018this profitable state of feeling is found in the fact that the | Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department last week prepared a states ment showing the growth of the export trade of the United Svates with Canada.Of course, the country would be very sorry to lose the Canadian trade or to have its value depreciated, and there has been a good deal said recently about the poor policy of allowing Canadian markets to be impaired by reason of petty international btekerings.The danger and folly of maintaining or cultivating national antipathies, which Washington so strongly deprecated, would be reason sufficient to call out the uttmost endeavor of both parties to remove all causes of contentions, and, lu addition, both Canada and the United States, if guided by \u201cenlightened self-interest,\u201d should spare no effort, it is argued, to establish the most amicable relations and the freest exchange of commodities that is practicable.Here are some figures that were not ircluded in the special statements prepared by the Treasury Department, and they give some idea of the value of Canada\u2019s markets to the United States: \u2014 In 1898 all Mexico, Central and South America and the West Indies, with a population of 54,000,000, bought from the United States products valued at $86,786,000, while in Canada, with only 5,500,000 inhabitants, purchased $86,537,- 00\" worth of United States goods.The United States sold to the Canadians more than $86,000,000 worth of products and bought from them $35,460,000 worth of their products.In spite of Canada\u2019s preferential duties in favor of the Mother Country, British exports to Canada increased only about 10 per cent.in 1598, while United States exports to Carada increased over 35 per to the lowest possible figure as a result of ; cent, and during the same period the cheap money, the cost of transporting | United States sent to Canada $25,000,- Northwest grain would be materially reduced, to the advantage of the Northwest farmer and the permanent supremacy of Canada\u2019s great waterway from Lake Su- the sea.The Return Cargoes.\u201cThe foregoing memorandum has referred entirely to the carriage oi gran, and it is upon this trade that vessels would mainly depend for cargoes eastward.Owing to the deepening of the lower canals return cargoes could be secured from Mont- veal and Quebec.Thousands of tons of heavy freight are shipped from Montreal alone every year to points west of Port Arthur.Vessels returning trom Montreal to the head of Lake Superior for cargoes of wheat could afford to carry goods to Port Arthur and Fort William at an extremely low rate.Through shipments could also be secured at Montreal for Chicago.A tieet of vessels sailing at regular dates from Montreal, calling at Toronto and Hamilton on the westward trip, would undoubtediy secure the great bulk of west- crn shipments during the season of navi- gatiom.\u201cA large part of the American fleet on the great lakes is profitably employed in the iron ore trade.The carriage of ore for this trade from either American or Canadian shipping points should provide vessels with cargoes when grain cargoes are not available.It would also be pos sible for these vessels to engage to the greatest advantage in the exportation of this ore to the United Kingdom, as competent authorities assert the course of wal- ues has made this trade possible.Fleet of Steel Vessels.\u201cThe Canadian Inland Transportation Company is prepared to enter into an undertaking to have built in Canadian shap- vards ten modern steel vessels, full Wel- iand canal size, to be used in the carrying trade of the great lakes, and erect in Montrer! one elevator having a capacity of two million bushels, and one in Quebec having a capacity of one million bushels, building also two barges and elevators for use at the Welland canal, and agree to navigate the entire fleet, provided the Government will guarantee interest of first mortgage bonds of the company for twenty vears to the extent of one and a half million dollars, and bearing interest at 3 per cent.per annum.\u201d 000 worth of manufactures, or $6,000,~ 000 more than England sold there, The United States bought from the Cana- dias only about $5,000,000 worth of their farm produce, while the United States supplied them from American farms $15,000,0C0 worth.Canada.bought $40,000,000 worth of products, which were entered duty free, and of their products on the same terms the United States took only $14,000,000 worth.American producers are not only deeply conscious of :the value of the Canadian market, but they realize that Canada offers a field which is becoming better with rapid strides.The people in the United States are gradually coming to realize that the Canad:ans are a progressive, English-speak- ing people whe are both prosperous and thrifty; that they are consumers and buyers, and that the Filipinos, Latin- Americans, and such peoples are not to b>: compared with them as users and traders.Real statesmen who can see beyond the personal political exigencies of the locality and year in which they are living admit that the napacity of certain protected interests in the United Slates exerted a powerful influence in rendering for the time being futile the efforts of the Joint High Commission last winter.Certain highly protected classes are anxious that there shall be no agree- nient between the two countries; but if the Alaskan boundary dispute can be got out of the way, the most for- n.idable obstacle, of course, will be removed.The mutual advantage to both countries of a less trammelled commercial intercourse is so readily apparent that the favored few will be compelled, i is believed, to yield to the manifest interests of the whole people, who will demand.a less restricted trade.It is regarded as extremely doubtful if the Michigan lumber interests, represented by McMillan and Burrows in the United States Senate, can successfully resist a settlement of pending disputes, provided the troublesome disposed of.Walter E, Clark THE ST, LAWRENCE WILL THEN DRY 0 Some Fifteen Hundred Years from Now the Lake Waters May Run Westward, GHICAGO IS DOOMED \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Its Site Will Become the Bed of the New Channel to the Mississippi.pr THE THEORIES OF GEOLOGISTS pr Fifteen hundred years is a long time boundary question is safely \u2018to luok ahead;

and geologists aver that in times past the which covered the cntire Lake St.John Valley.This shows that at the Jowar end of the St.Lawrence the land is gradually rising and the waters growing more shallow.\u2019 Now comes Professor G.K.Gilbert, of the American Geological Service, who demonstrates that the whole river is threatened with extinction by the fact that the waters of the lakes will turn back towards the west.It is not the Chicago drainage canal alone which will accomplish this chain.That canal constitutes a lesser, but immediate danger.Engineers assert that this canal opened, so that the waters of Lake Michigan will carry the sewage of Chicago to the Misz- issippi, will have the effect of lowering the surface of the lake by six inches, and it is to be opened within a few weeks.ut the effect of the change at this distance will very likely lye mpercaptible, Prof.G.K.Gilbert's idea, however, is based upon the fact that the relative level of the land around the lake is changing, so that it will subside at the southwest and open a new channel to the waters of the Great Lakes towards the Mississippi.Professor Gilbert's Researches.Professor Gilbert has succeeded in enlisting co-operation which has enabled him to find out what has taken place during the last thirty or foriv years.Four pairs of stations were taken into consideration, cach pair being so made up as to combine points lying on a generally northeast- and-southwest line.These pairs included Sackelt\u2019s Harbor and Charlotte on Lake Ontario, Port Colborne and Cleveland on Lake Erie, Port Austin and Milwaukee for the Huron-Michigan Basin, and Es- canaba and Milwaukee for Lake Michigan alone.Oilicial records of water levels at these points were consulted.In some cases it was possible to find trustworthy data for a period of nearly forty years; in others for only twenty.How Much the Sinking Is.The results attained were as follows ?Relatively to Sackett\u2019s Ilarbor, Charlotte gank 0.051 foot in twenty-two years.This is a trifle under three-quarters of an inch.\u2018Ihe places are ninety miles apart.Cleveland, relatively to Port Colborne, 160 miles away, sank 2 7-8 inches in thirty- seven years.Milwaukee, as compared with Port Austin.250 miles off, sank 0.138 foot (1,646 inches) in twenty years.And, tant, Milwaukee sank 1.073 foot (over two inches) in twenty years.Thus Professor Gilbert is led to conclude that, along a line running 27 degrees west of southward, there is a mean subsidence taking place now amounting to 0.42 foot for every hundred miles.Eventually, it is hoped, more elaborate measurements may be made.and more accurate conciusions derived from the observations.Bui, as the matter now stands, Professor Gilbert is disposed to tuke this view : The northern and eastern shores of all the lakes are rising, or else the southern and western shores are falling.Possibly both phenomena are occurring.In Lakes trie and Ontaric the general level is slowly rising, and this is most noticeable in Port Dalhousie and Hamilton, where it amounts to 6 inches a century.At Toledo and Sandusky the average rise is 8 or 9 inches a century.All over Lake Huron the water is fziling, most conspicuously at the north and northeast.At Mackinac the rate is 6 inches, and at the mouth of the l\u2019rench River 10 inches a century.At Duluth the water is rising 6 inches, at Milwaukee 5 or 6 inches, and at Chicago 9 or 10 inches.Tnasmuch as Duiuth is built upon steep hillsides, she can creep up out of the water whenever she is required to do so.But, as Chicago is built on low ground, it is difficult to forecast her fate.The marine insurance companies would hardly like to take any risks on her.The ground that divides the drainage system of the Illinois River (and consequently the Mississppi) from Lake Michigan is cut by the former stream to a depth that Jeaves a difference between the channel and the lake of only eight feet.no new barrier were erected, and if Lake Michigan rose at a perfectly uniform rate at Chicago, it would be about one thousand years before the lake would flow over the existing natural dam into the Mississippi.But, owing to differences in rainfall, similar inequalities in evaporation, the direction of wind and cther causes, the lake is much higher at vne time than another.Professor Gilbert says : Professor Gilbert\u2019s Predictions.\u201cEvidently the first water to overflow will be that of some high stage of the | lake, and the discharge may at first be | \u2018intermittent.Such high-water discharge will occur in five hundred or six hundred vears.After 1,500 years thire will à (Continued on page 18.} Saguenay was a broad expanse of water ! as compared with Escanaba, 190 miles dis- | 10 PRIMITIVE TIMES St.John's Day Celebration Was a Practice Among the Inhabitants of 0ld Gaul.ees BROUGHT TO NEW FRANCE How the Occasion Was Observed When the * Fleur de Lis\u201d Moved Over Quebec, \u2014\u2014_p\u2014n\u2014\u2014\u2014 AN ASSOCIATION FOUNDED emt La Saint Jean Baptiste enjoys with Christmas the distinction of tracing its origin much beyond the beginning of the Christian era, to the time when our savage ancestors in the wilds of Northern Europe adored the sun.In those dark and remote ages la St.Jean Baptiste was celebrated as the summer solstice.When Christianity was introduced in Gaul, the missionaries found that at that period the inhabitants celebrated the day by public rejoicing and by the building of fires on the highlands.Christianity accepted a custom which it would have been hard to uproot; but transformed it into the Yeast of St.John the Baptist, and to this day the custom of building bonfires on the day is observed not only in Britanny, but even in Wales.In mediaeval France la Saint Jean was always the occasion of great rejoicing.Paris was specially enthusiastic, and the principal fire was built on La Place de la Greve, and the King, or at least a prince of the royal blood, came to set the match to it.After the introduction of pyrotechnics, both banks of the Seine would blaze out, and on some occasions serious conflagrations were started.In various provinces of France, superstitious customs are connected with the fires; but everywhere they are considered as bringing good luck.First Celebration in Canada.\u201cWe have a very early record of the celebration of La Saint Jean Baptiste in New France, if it was not actually the first one.In 1\u20ac06, the party of Pou- trincourt, who was coming to settle Acadia, spent the day off the banks of Newfoundland in fishing and rejoicing.\u2018In- the evening,\u201d says th poet Lescarbot, \u201cwe set sail after we had made our cannon roar.\u201d \u2018 observance of the day.In 1646, for instance, the journal of the Jesuits says : La Saint Jean, about dalf-past eight of the evening.M.the Governor sent M.Trouquet to ask if we would go.We went to him, Father Vimont and I (Father Jerome Talemant) in the fort.We went together to the fire; M.the Governor set the match, and while he was so doing I sang \u2018Ut queant laxis\u2019 ana recited prayer.Five guns were fired, and the muskets were fired two or three times.\u201d That was at Quebec.At Three Rivers the day was not celebrated in 1649, because the Governor wanted the storekeeper to bear the expense, while the jatter said the Governor should do so! An incident which would lead us to ne- lieve that the good officials of that time had an eve tu the almighty dollar\u2014or livre, as they then said.In 1666, Quebec having grown in importance, the celebration had more eclat.Jean,\u201d says the Jesuits\u2019 Journal, was observed with all possible magnificence.\u201d Mgr.de Laval was present, in his pon- tificial robes, with all the clergy, and they solemnly offered a candle of white wax to the Governor, M.de Tracy, that he might light the fire, but the Governor would not be outdone in politeness, and fire first.Splendor was lent to the .oe- casion by the presence of the freshly-land- ed regiment of Carignan.\u201d We also find that it was customary fo?the Conseil Souverain, the colony\u2019s parliament.to adjourn on that day.It has been seen that the clergy par ticipated in the celebrations, but the fete was not at that time favored by the St.Joseph.It is even easy to see that the Jesuits objected to taking part in the lighting of fires, and would have separated \u201cle temporel du spirituel.\u201d Mr.de Gaspe\u2019s Description.After the conquest the observance of the day continued throughout the country.The late M.de Gaspe, in his \u201cAnciens Canadiens,\u201d describes how it was celebrated at the beginning of the century.The bonfires illuminated both banks of the St.Lawrence from the Ottawa to the Island of Orleans.A pyramid of wood, ten feet in height, would be erected in the church square, covered with pine and cedar boughs.The cure, accompanied by his acolytes, came in state out of the principal door, blessed che pile and set fire to it with a candle, and fn an instant the whole mass would blaze, sending sparks high into heaven, while the habitants fired their muskets and the children danced with glee.\u201d It is to be observed that these fires were lighted in the evening of the 23rd of June.Up to 1834 La Saint Jean had heen only a custom, like many other celebrations held in the province.The founders of L\u2019Association St.Jean Baptiste, in 1534, sought to give the celebration a political significance, to make the day the \u201cfete nationale.\u201d The spirit of the founders is shown in the motto which they adopted: \u201cNos institutions, notre langue et nos lois,\u201d and also in their choice of emblems, the beaver and the maple leaf.In proposing the adoption of the latter, Mr.D.B.Viger said : \u201cThis tree which rows in our forests, on our mountains, (Continued on page 18.) \u2014 ORIGIN DATES BACK | THE HERALD'S SPECIAL LONDON LETTER.Canada in the Imperial Parliament\u2014Irish Emigrants.Dominion Day\u2014The Pacific Cable\u2014The Question of Copyright Again.(From Our Special Correspondent.)

Church, the patron of the colony being | less than the annual average for the years ; between 1888 and 1898.Notwithstanding the fact that there are in the United ) Kingdom tens, if not hundreds of thou- .samds, of inhabitants, working upon small , agricultural holdings from early morning until late at night, and in very many cases expending as much energy on a few acres for a comparatively miserable return as would be more than sufficient to cultivate the full extent of the area each would receive by reason of the Government free grant in the North-West, \u2018and thus, in the course of a few years, vastly improve the!r social and financial | position, there are those in public life | here who regard with disfavor this pos- | sibility of betterment.These objectors | would, if they could, bring into operation | the restrictive emigration laws existing in ; certain European countries.The truthis | that there is no more profitable investment, from the standpoint of political \u2018economy, than for the colonies and the Imperial Government to co-operate with a view of assisting the emigration of the | vast army of young men who have been driven out of the farm life in Great Britain and who are now seeking employment in centres of population.If they could be given a chance at farming in any one of the colonies, they would prove most desirable settlers, and certainly add to the wealth of the colonies in the course of a few years.The Transvaal Troubles.A letter from London at the present juncture with no word about the siluation of affairs belween Great Britain and the Transvaal would be an anomaly.The utter failure of the negotiaticns between Sir Alfred Milner and President Kruger was never for a moment expected in the best informed circles.Of coruse, as usual under such circumstances, the number who now say \u201cI told you so,\u201d is legion.But the truth ns that everyone not only hoped for tan- | gible results, but fully looked ior a settle- | ment oË all the-difficulties between tire | Colonial Department and the President of \u2018the Transvaal.A private letter from a resident of the Boer Republic was placed in my hands a day or two ago, written in { the early part of May, wherein an apparently accurate account was given of the warlike preparations then proceeding \u2014the erecticn of fortifications, the accumulation of ammunition, the care taken to exclude the English residents from these central important points, all pointing to the con- dlusion that the Boers were then preparing for the worst that might happen.On all sides the situation is regarded as most perplexing.The Tory papers and a few | Liberal journals demand that the Government shall move rapidly, that now there is no middle course, it mush be an ultimatum.On the other hand, the Liberal leaders are averse to seeing ithe country plunged into war, which will entail enormous expenditure and probably frightful loss of life, to say nothing of the total annihilation of financial interests that are incaleulable in their extent.But on the other side, it js pointed out that the pres- {ige of Great Britain cannot be maintained unless certain reforms are secured for the : Uitlanders, not to mention the prestige of the Colonial Secretary, who is said to have forced the present situation.So acute was the position regarded a day or two lated pointing to Mr.Joseph Chamberlain\u2019s resignation, it being alleged that he had failed to secure the support of the Premier and his colleagues to the drastic measures contemplated by his department.Lut it is unlikely that the circumstances leading to the conference had other than the unanimous approval of the administra- ticn.The possible failure must have been considered.\u2018And then it must be remembered that in all such matters England moves with great deliberation.No one can question but that the outlook is more unpleasant than if the conference had not taken place\u2014mno one doubts but that a United England could soon bring Kruger to time.But is England united?The slatesmen are not, yet among the rank and file of the population the call is for war, unless the grievances are redressed im- ago on Change that the rumor was circu- mediately.The desire to avenge Majuba Hill is deep in every British heart.Hospital Sunday.Hospital Sunday is a great occadlon among the London churches.Special sermons, in which earnest appeals are made in behalf of the hospitals of the city, are the order of the day.Noted clergymen and unusual choir music in all the principal edifices furnish attractions for othen than ordinary churchgoers, The 11th day or June was set apart for this object this year.When it is remembered that in 1898 no less than one million six hundred thousand patients were ministered unto without charge in London hospitals, the enormous resources that must be at the disposal of such institutions may be appreciated.The vast majority of these are sustained entirely by voluntary sub- seriptions.Under the patronage of royalty, wealthy peers and merchant princes, with lavish hand, forward handsome donations towards the constantly increasing expenses.Bazaars, at which the beauty and fashion of London esteem it a privilege to take part, are frequently held in the interest of these institutions, and it is not unusual for thousands of pounds to be realized on such occasions.Notwithstanding the efforts thus put forth and the charitable spirit that is manifested, it is safe in declaring that the church contributions will not equal the amounts that would be received under similar circumstances in Canada.The people here do not know anything about subscribing or giving on the scale so frequently shown on that side of the Atlantic.One has only to read the financial returns of any of the dissenting chapels, and they as a rule are much more liberal persoral givers than attendants at the Estaklished Church, to be thoroughly convinced how very far behind the colonies, we, people here, are in this regard.A collection of £50,000 was asked for on Sunday in this city of five millions inhabitants, which would be an advance of £13,000 beyond the amount received for the same purpose last year.All the returns are not in yet, but Westminster Abbey, with congregations aggregating more than twenty thousand, contributed but £200.The \u201cTree dispensaries connected with the London hospitals furnish opportunities for medical education that are not to be had in any other part of the world, as scores of physicians and surgeons in Montreal can testify.Here students in medical science and surgery have an opportunity, in the course of two or three months, of coming in contact with almost every ailment or disease to which Humanity is subject, and it is not unusual for noted practitioners from the United States and Canada to seek admittance as students fh the leading hospitals and private clinics in this great city.The advantages, therefore, that accrue to the whole world from the free dispensaries in this centre ot the world's populaïlon\u2019 are simply invaluable.If for no other reason than the knowledge that is gained by the medical profession through which all the world is better able to cope with disease, these in- \u2019stitutions should be handsomely endowed and generously supported.To Dominion Day Celebration.Preparations are already being made by, the Canadians for the proper observance and celebration of Dominion Day.Lord and Lady Strathcona have issued invitations for a convergatione in the hall of the Royal Institute of Painters, Piccadilly, on Friday, June 30th, when it is expected that a very distinguished company ~ will grace the occasion with their presence.The High Commissioner is leaving nothing undone to make the gathering one of special interest.On the following evening the usual colonial party dinner will take place at the Trocadero, at which Lord Strathcona will preside, and there is no question but the opportunity thus afforded for local intercourse will be most heartily embraced by a company that will tax the capacity of the Hall to the utmost.The Pacific Cable.Tt is understood that the representations that have been so persistently made to the Colonial Secretary by the Dominion and Australian governments, through the offices of the High Commissioner and agents-general of the colonies in relation to the desirability of additional responsibility being assumed by the Imperial treasury in the construction of the new Pacific cable, will not unlikely bear fruit.While at the moment of writing nothing specially definite has been signed, sealed and delivered, yet negotiations have been proceeding so satisfactorily, that it appears as if terms that will suit the colonies are nearly in sight.But the Imperial Colonial Office is on its high horse.Negotiations were only progressing, nothing had been completed, when \u201cA Correspondent\u201d who had evidently been in the confidence of the contracting parties sent a statement to cne of the big London dailies for publication, and the journal in question instead of publishing the ex: pected result as an item of news, gave the communication a prominent place in its volumns verbatim under the heading \u201cfrom a correspondent.\u201d Her Majesty\u2019s officials, voicing the sentiments of the Colonial Secretary, are breathing out dignified anathemas against some one not named but gravely hinted at.Fortunately for the officials in the offices oË the colonies the sphere of information where the leak must have sprung from is very limit« ed, so that many cannot be blamed for the indiscretion of the guilty party.The Copyright Question.Prof.Mavor, of the Toronto University, arrived in London clothed with authority iS \u201cTHE HERALD, MONTREAL, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1899.from the Society af Authors of Canada, ws represented by tne assowation ol which Prof.Goldwin Smith we president, and Hon.G.WW.Foss, Muster of hducauion of Ontario, is chairman, \u2018to cfiuct à seitle ment or compromise of the much-vexed copyright question.In 1889 the Dominicn Parliament an act, the elicos ot which practically wes that any puolishor in Canada could register ai Oulawa a declaru- tion of his intention to primt a Canadian edition of an LEnglish work, upon which te would have to deposit a royalty ot lu per cent.with the Departmemt of .Agvi- culture for transmission to the holler of the oopyright in Great Britnu, 3.4 01, tention was to be cabled to the owner of ' tthe copyright, and under tae proposed so the was corepclled to declare his intention within seven days of making other arrangements for a Canadian edition and complete the arrangements w:thin foriy-two days, or the Canadian publisher could proceed with his issue.Tne Governor-General deferred assenting to the bill in viey of representation from the Imperial Govern- Meni.and ib ConseEquet.tiy néver became Yow.The Canadian Government held then, as, I understand, it holds now, that the ler! on was well within its authority.The law otiicers of the Crown here held then and now hold to the contrary.The highest legal advice in this country to pablizhers is that a copyright is indivis ible.Then if a publisher in Canada should forcibly, as propesed by the ( anadian bill, take possession of a copyright and pay a rovalty therein, no law could be enacted to prevent a dealer from sending to Canada an English edition.Under the compromise, as agreed to by the Engkish publishers and authors, and Prof.Mavor, and to which the committee of the House of Lords has agreed, a copyright becomes divisible, and upon a Canadian publisher purchasing a right he will have entire con- troi of the market covered by his stipulations.But the suggested forcibie sa'e or purchase cannot be effected as was proposed by the Canadian Legislature of 1389.Among the Canadian visitors registered at the office of the lligh Commissioner during the week are the following from Mont- geal.Mr.and Mrs.KR.GC.Séaith, W.À.Tremayne, J.R.Wilkes, E.G.Cocker, Prof.Owens, VW.Kennedy, jr, I.B.Drior, Mr.and Mrs.Archer, Alex.Robertson,

intermittent, failing at low stages of the lake (l£rie), and in 3,500 years titere will be no Niagara.The basin of Lake Krie will be tributary to Lake Huron, the current being reversed in the Detroit and Nt.Clair channels.\u201cThe most numerous economic bearings of this geographic change pertain to engineering works, especially for the preservation of harbors and regulation of water levels.But the modifications thus produced are so slow, as compared with the growing demands of commerce for depth of water, that they have small importance.It is a matter of greater moment that cities and towns built on lowlands about Lakes Ontario, +Erie, Michigan and Superior will sooner or later feel the encroachment of tlie advancing water.It is peculiarly unfortunate that Chicago, the largest city on the lakes, stands on a sinking plain that is now but little above the high-water level of Lake Michigan.\u201d t may be of some satisfaction to Mont- realers that Chicago is bound to share their misfortune; but thems.can be no doubt that once the St.Lawrence is deprived of the water which flows over the Niagara its grandeur will be a thing of the past.But at that time the air-ship will have

Advantage in a Deal,\u201d Editor of The Herald: Sir,\u2014I notice in last issue a letter from the \u2018Griffin Pork Packing Co.,\u201d of Winnipeg, advising farmers to go more extensively into hug-raising, as they cannot get a supply suflicient to keep their establishment going.Having had over 20 years\u2019 experience as a farmer in Manitoba, I would say, don't be in a hurry to take the advice, not that Manitoba cannot raise hozs as cheaply as any part of the Dominion, but if the way we have been used in the past is to be takun as a rule, we will have to raise them tor a good deal less or keep them unseld.Just as soon as onc hog is raised wore than tae local demand calls for down cornes the price to what is called an export basis; and we all know what that means, Cost of baying, freight, selling, and a safe margin of profit for the dealers, nave first to be counted off, and we got the balance, which 1 have sea rudd a cent and a half below Chicago prices.Indeed, the year I quit raising them for sale 1 got $3.50 Jor dressed pork on the Winnipeg market.Another case in point: Two ycars ago, taking a load of dressed beef there, and going on the market to find the price from a dealer who had bought to sell again, I found hint asking 3 cents per lb.for hind-quarters and oilering to well at that price.l was informed that his beef had cost him just 3 cents, and very good beef it was.his state of affairs caused farmers, one cand all, to quit stall feeding and dispose of their egltle as stockers for the randhes away west; and \u2018the consequence is that nearly 5 dents per lb, live weight, can be got now.The year 1886 found a large surplus of hogs In Manitoba, and I saw dressed pork said for 3 cents per lb., and the price of cured meats was quoted at 12 and 13 cents if a farmer had to buy any.The usual result happencd.The hoggishness of the denlers rwned the business, till the next scarcity sont prices higher than cutside ; aœuin.Lhe farmor who sells gets to know the meaning of an export basis; the local customer who buys is told that the stull is handled at the very lowest rate it can be laid down for from Ontario; and between an export basis and an imponler\u2019s price there is a wide, wide gap, which paays the very mischiiei wach the regular supply of any farm commodity that can be raiscd in thas country.And at seems to me that the dealers themselves are very largely to blame for the way the supply Huctuatos.Livery time they get the chance they kill the goos: what lays the golden egzs.In conclusion, let me Mustrate this by an example of the engincer hoist with his rown pelard: A well-known livery man, | who has bought hay on the market in Winnipeg for wany years, was told that la good supply was on one very ccld morn- | ing, for we had \u2018somme snifters last win- | ter, and that in consequence he knew he | would get it cheap.Picking out a good load of tine hay, he offered $4 for it, but the half-breed wanted $5, and it was well worn at, Alter dickeriug à long tune, to no purpose, the liveryman left, wilh the remark that he would be glad to sell at thai before night, seeing it was such a cold day.The half-breed, however, sold the load at his own price, and hied away across the river Lo St.Boniface, ard threw cn a load of old rotten stuff, scarcely fit for bedding, and, making his way back to the market, he waited till near dark, when he made his way disconsolately round by the stable of the livery man, who saw him coming.\u201cla! ha!\u201d said the buyer, \u201c1 knew you would be glad to brig me As 1t Was too ecld à night to remain on the market and sleep under the load (or many of them do taat), the half-breed said he would take $4 and be done with it, so as to got home, and into the loft it went; but when daylight came next morning, and showed the quality of the hay, the livery man found he had been completely done up, but he had sense enough to admit that it served him right.It never pays to take an unfair advantage in a deal.\u201cFarmer.\u201d Winnipeg, Mav 8, 1809.- THE PEOPLE'S REMEDY \u201cBROMA\u2019\u201d Invariably cures all the ills induced by a bad state of the

some very chatty incidents are told by Frederick Palniter .n Collier's Weekly :\u2014 The Filipino \u201camigo\u201d is allowet to enter our lines, but not to pass out of them \u2018if we can help it).Too often a hostile is an \u201camigo\u201d when he can hide his gun before it is observed.Perhaps one in tea of the population which deserted the tci- ritory that we have occupied has returned.They come, men, women and children, each bearing a white shirt held aloft oti a bamboo pole in token of their peaceful intentions.How many are spies and how many are not only Aruinaldo knows.It is not for American good nature to differentiate, thouzh zradually we are zrasp- inz certain peculiarities of the Tilipino mind.The morning that we advanced on Malolos an \u2018\u201c*amigo\u201d came trotting down the track, and soon found himrelf before General Mac.Arthur with an interpreter at his side.\u201c1 told mv friends afraid,\u201d he said.\u201cAnd I have come to vou for them.Is it true that vou will kill us if we remain in our homes, as Aguinaldo says that you will?We do that T was not not like Aguinaldo, and if you won't kill us I want to go back and tell my friends to stay.\u201d ; Upon being reassured, he courtesied and trotted back down the track.Just after he had entered the clump of bamboo beyond a strewh of paddytields a volley came from it fairly into vur position.Major Kobbe, of the Third Artillery {fighting as imiantry) is rovost-marshal of Malolos, which is as good as saying that the surface filth of the town has becu swept up and dumped into the river.A Kansas man asked a private of the Third when the major was goinz to wash an iron the streets, and the Third Artilleryman said reform couldn't go as far as that as long as there were any volunteers around.An officer happened alonz at this moment, and prevented an internecme combat.The major will be remembered as having lined his men up and put them through the manual of arms atter they had fought all day and lost ten per ceut.of their number.Their total loss in the ticld since the beginning of the war with the insurgents is twenty per cent.A Third Artilleryman is a proud being, as roud as a Kansas man.oo Peneral Lawton thinks that it is wrong to Toot a chicken, even though it happens to cross a soldier's path and cackles to be cought.Major Kolbe thinks that it is wrong for a soldier: to look at a chicken, let alone loot a piece of household furniture, lest it shall excite his imagination and lead him into temptauion: Recent ly an old wound which Colonei Iunston received in Cuba while fighting witht Gomez began to trouble him, and his aides, who love the little man when he praises them, and love him even better when he confounds them, took it upon themscives to ask Major Kobbe to send a bed from a descrted house to the colonel\u2019s tent.In due time a plodding water buffalo, a bed on a cart, and a private of the Third arrived at Colonel Funston\u2019s headquarters.The aides recalled that they bad not mentioned the affair to the colonel yet and held their breath.\u201coo oo ** Major Kolbe,\u201d said the Third Artilleryman, standing stiff as a rod, \u2018presents his compliments, sir, and sends this bed, which you ordered.i: bed!\u201d exclaimed the colonel.\u201cWhat in the devil do I want with a \u2014 Ordered, was it?Adjutant,

ground a little.\u201d Inasmuch as he had brought it, the Third Artillervman was allowed to leave it.The adjutant had almost persuaded the colonel to have it in his tent, when suddenly he talked completely.Before rolling up in his blanket on the ground he was reconciled to it as offering a good seat during the day.2, While MacArthur\u2019s division dozed in its shelter tents and fouzht

Sun about strikes as follows :\u2014 Ii all the losses incurred in strikes during the last one-half century could be summed up, the amount would be appalling.The damage extends beyond the particular trade to all trades connected with it, or indirectly dependent on it.Nor do the effects end with the strike.The great dockyard strike in England did lasting injury to the port of, London.The great engineers\u2019 strike nermanently affected the prosperity of that trade, and even that of the nation.The right of the employed to strike for higher wages has long been fully recognized.Justice must be done them, and if it cannot le done without a strike, a strike there must be.But self-preservation requires a community to insist on the right of other men, if they will, to take the place of the strikers.There is no other certain test of the necessity and justice of à strike.It is notorious that these disastrous conflicts are often brought on, not by the free and deliberate action ot the great body of the workmen, but by a violent section which has got control of the union.There are men who submit by trading on the passions which lead to industrial war.This, anyone who reads labor journals can see.To allow these men to tie up industry, therchy scatter ing destitution and ruin, would be, not a recognition, but a betrayal of the rights of labor and of those of the community , at large.In industrial wars governments, national or local, are bound to observe a strict neutrality, unless invited to arbitrate.The Mayor of a city unquestionably exceeds his duty by rgesiding over a mee ing called in support of a strike.So does a Christian mfnister who courts Beware of Spurious Imitations (1 Ib.and 2 Ib.cans.) are coîfee of the very choicest quality, | CHASE & SANBORN, MONTREAL

his churen by fanning the flome of industrial war.The sum invested by the Grand Trunk Railway Company in Canada, at the lowest estimate, must be enormous.Only on a very small proportion of this has any interest been received by the investors; the bulk of :t has been a gift of England to Canada.That the line was plundered by Canadian contractors, who made large fortunes oit of new spoils, has been often asserted, but is probably not to any considerable.extent the fact.Materials and construe- tion cost at that time three times as much as they do now.This is the principal source of the immense loss.The line, however, did indispensable and inestima- bl: service to Canada in those early days.It formed the first bond of Canadian unity.Its reward is that it is duplicated and threatened with ruin by a line largely subsidized by the Canadian Government, in addition to the advantages o.immensely cheapened construction.To say nothing of gratitude, to which perhaps in commercial matters it is vain to appeal, a common sense of justice ought to give the line fair play, and allow it to settle differences between it aud those in its employment with the same freedom which is aocorded to other commercial companies and employers of every kind.anise in every household, even in the households of those who are now seeking popularity at the expense of the imperilled line.The day may perhaps come when all these disputes will be settled by some paternal authority.At present there is nothing for it but free nezotia- tion between the parties aided by mediation, such as Sir Wilfrid Laurier has most wisely tendered.rete A GOLD MINE.DR.ED.MORIN\u2019S \u201cCARDINAL PILLS\u201d For pale and weak persons, girls working in factories and in general for all sufferers % : from poverty

of the Uniform of the Guardians of the Peace, \u2014\u2014\u2014 BEAR HUNTER TO THE RESCUE, re Two six-foot policemen and two equally stalwart civilians engaged in a life and death struggle with a huge last Indian bear on Market street, says the Philadei- phia Times.The policemen were Reserves Oliver Cromwell, Blackburn and \u2018Wesley Merritt Powell, and the two civilians Will- jam and I.C.Vabhle, of 319 Market street, owners of thie bear.Over a year ago the bear was sent to the Vahles by their father, H.W.Vahle, a wild animal dealer, of Wehrstidt-Halber- stadt, Germany.The beast was captured in the island of Borneo, and there came with it a stery to the eilect that before it was sent to Germany it killed over a gcore of natives.The bear was not in the possession of Mr.Vahle a week before it crushed one of its keepers to death and horribly mangled two others.Mr.Vahle determined to get rid of the bear end shipped 1t to his two sons, who keep a bird and + .d animal store at the Market street address.On the voyage over the bear fractured a wailor\u2019s skull.It was chained to a ring in the floor of a strong room in the rear of the Market street house only after a desperate struggle.For several days past the bear has been unusuady savage and its keepers were at a | loss to account for its bad temper.While both Valiles were busy in the swore yes Ls Dr.H.M.Patton, a body of bright and fully qualified young doctors whom ny hospital might be proud of.An outdoor department is maintained, which issued 953 prescriptions last year, 920 medical and 25 surgical; and an ambu- ance service is furnished.The total number of cases treated in the hospital wards since the opening o October Sth, 1894, to May 19th, 1899, is 881, of which 430 were medical and 451 surgical.The deaths in the same time were 36, a percentage of 4 2-10ths, but making the usual allowance of those cases considered hopeless on entering, 19, this percentage is reduced to 1 9-10ihs.In noticing this exceptionally favorable showing, as compared with other hospital records, I may remark that these are not selected cases of mild character, but fair- lv typical of the average which find their Way to an hospital for treatment, as our case books show.Moreover, the record covers the entire history of the hospital from its incomplete beginnings to the present time, and from it we take courage to believe that when appreciating benevolence shall have equipped us with the splendid appliances enjoyed by others at our system of therepeutics will enable us to do very much better.Success has been achieved as a result of hard and disinterested work in face of wany difficulties, but such a position and contemplated advance cannot be maintained without money, and this we are much in need of to clear off and relieve interest charze on some outstanding liabilities on uidling account, and to provide the necessary funds to run the hospital comfortable on its present modest lines., We appeäl not alone to those who believe in the homoeopathic system of the administration of medicine, but as well to the broad-minded and lïberally-dispos- ed who approve of any good work well done.We try to do ours with courtesy to all and ill-will towards none.and court the [ullest enquiry into our methods.Our public wards.under the charge of our own staff, are open to all patients, whether they can pav anything or nothing.Our cosy private wards and well equipped operating room are at the cer vice of anv recognized phveician of any school.and the entire facilities of the nursing staff are at his command for the der his care\u2014a privilege granted in no where.We are pleased to say that this orportunity is being availed of by an in creasing number of well-known practitioners of the other school for the treatmeut of their wwn patients in both surgical and medical cases.We are appreciative of the words of commendation they have ex: pressed respecting our nurses and the con: veniences our hospital affords fn this regard, and trust many more may be led to use them.We base our appeal on the common ground of public benevolence in asking for a small share of what our citizens so lih- erally bestow among institutions doinz gimilar charitable work.Assistance may take the form of Jorations to our en terday morning the bear broke the chain that bound it to the floor.The animal then climbed to a window and scrambied down the side of the wulding to an alley that leads to Market street.\u201cThe storekeepers were so busy with their customers that they did not motice the bear's escape, Hugged the Big Policeman.Uttering a dull grow] the animal bounded down the aliey, and in less time than it takes to tell was out on Markel sireet.Twelve o'clock had just been sounded by whistle and bell when the bear made 1ts exit from the alley and Market street in the vicinity of Third was crowdal with men, women, boys and girls.Right into the midst of a crowd of women and girls the bear rushed, and piercing screams awoke the echoes for squares around.Reserve Blackburn, who was at his post at the north-west corner of Third and Market streets, heard the cries of the women and girls, and rushed to their rescue.Blackburn, who has stopped burglars and other bad men time and again, thougijt that he wauld simply grapple with the bear, and after a few tugs throw the animal to the street.They no sooner clinched than the bear began to hug Blackburn with a grip of iron.The breath was fast leaving Blackburn's body when Reserve Powell, who is stationed at the south-east corner of Third and Market streets, came on a run to the assistance of his brother policeman.Powell struck the bear a tremendous blow upon the head with his club, tut the animal paid no attention to the whack except to hug Blackburn all the tighter.Powell then grasped the bear by its hind legs, and with a mighty jerk threw the beast to the street.Blackburn went down, too, and for several minutes the bear and the two policemen rolled over and over in the street.Hearing the commotion outside, the Vahle brothers looked out through their front window, and at once realized that their bear had escaped.Saved by an Old Bear-Hunter.Both men, who are powerfully built, hastened to the policemen\u2019s aid, and then began a battle that would make the heart of an old frontiersman leap with joy.Over and over the men struggled, and the fight might have been decided in favor of the beast but for the timely aid of an old man, who afterwards said that he had assisted in the capture of cinnamon and other bears in the wilds of the far West.The old man rushed from the crowd, and, seizing the piece of chain that dangled around the animal\u2019s neck, wrapped it several times around the big bear\u2019s front legs just xs he had disengaged himself from embracing the officers to strike them terrific blows with his paws.One of the bear\u2019s blows hurled William Vahle a distance of fifteen feet, landing him up against the curb with crushing force.With the chain around its front legs, the bear was partly helpless, and, seizing it by its hind legs, the four men dragged the animal to its former home.Luckily, the bear\u2019s teeth had been filed, or the four men would have been seriously bitten.As it was, they had their clothing torn and scratched.eats HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL.A Strong Appeal to the Public For Assistance\u2014Some Facts About the Institution.Editor of The Herald : Sir \u2014May I have a little of your var able space to say a few words on behalf oi our hospital, its claims and its needs?It will be remembered that about five years ago the long-felt need of hospital accommodation for the rapidly-increasing number of patients of homoeopathic practitioners became so strongly accentuated that something had to be done to supply it.The governors of the Royal Victoria and General Hospitals were petitioned to grant the desired ward accommodation and the privilege of having homoeopathic patients treated therein by their own physicians, but did not see their wav to accede to the request.Necessarily, there remained to the homoeopahts but one course\u2014that of providing their own if they would have hospital accommodation.By the help of generous benefactors, a small beginning was made, which, however, was soon found

Near New York.01d Plato.the Patriarch of the Family.Celebrated 1n the Books About His Race.Gypsies are encamped near East Chester, and they hawe proved interesting during the last few days to the city folk who have chanced to pass that way.The camp is pitched~on the old Boston Post road, at the corner of Windmill lane, hard by the old East Chester Tavern, in fore mer years a stopping place for the Boston post stages.À trip to the camp from the city is a delightful outing.It can be made by Second ur Third avenue elevated road to One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth, street, transfer to a Mount Vernon trolley-car, and at Mounu Vernon transfer to a Fifth avenue car for East Chester.Plato, the head of the camp and family, has had an interesting and romantte career.Plato wus born in England.the | son of Henry Buckland.His ancestors were of pure gvpsy blood.Plato had four brothers, all of whom were taught to be horse-traders.Plato himself was trading horses when he wus not more than twelve years oid.When he was sixteen he had a van of his own, and travelled about England.In his travels he met Jlizabel Small, the seventh daughter of Simeon Smal, The Smalls came to America and Plato followed.That was more taan forty years agu.Plato found his sweetheart wn South Carclina, and there was an immediate e¢lopement.After the marriage the couple at once set out for themsenves.At thie end of five years they became homesick to see England again, and returned.\u2018Îlnev remained there until ten years ago, when they returned to America, biinging with them seven daughters and two song, and numerous grandchildren, Every year the Bucklands spend several weeks in the suburbs of New York city.\u2018They spend the winters in the South, coming North in the spring, and arriying in this vicinity in May.Aiter spending some weeks here they wander northward, up through the state, and perhaps into other states, someiimes going as far west as the AMussissippi.Jaunurcus of cyclists pass the gypsy camp every day.It consists of a dozen tents and a number of vans and wagons.Many horses pastured in the lot show the band to be grys, or horse-traders.Some of the men are always on the lookout for possible horse-traders, and some of the women for persons easily parted from their money by superstition or curiosity.The children run about and wheadle pen- vies from etrangers by offering to tell them \u201cwhat they were doing this time last year,\u201d to which whe usual answer is \u201cbreathing.\u201d The camp oonsists of fifteen adults and at least as many children.It is the well- known Buckland family of English gypsies.The patriarch of the family old Plato Buckland, and his wife, \u201cBetsy,\u201d are two of the most picturesque gypsies in America.Plato is 67 and his wife is nearly as old, though neither of them looks it.It is hard do tell the age of gypsies.They are as tough as wild horses, and seldom begin to grow gray or to show their age in any way unlil they ave 60.Tlato and his wife are well known to {hose who have studied Romany lore, and are {requently mentioned in books on gypsies.Charles G.Leland in his exeel- lent work on gypsies frequently speaks of Plato, and often visited his van at Hen- ley-on-Thames, in England.That was in Plato's younger days, when he was a hale fellow well met with those he liked, hospitable and generous.He had one of the most comfortable vans on the road, and is especially well versed in Romany.He is none the less hospitable and courteous to-day, and his van and bed are more luxurious than ever.The van cost about $000, is gorgeously decorated, and costly fitted up.There are four windows in the side of the van, two on either side, and one in the back.The bed is in the back of the van, with lockers under it, and onl cither side of the forward part for al! {the articles carried in it.In thc middle of the van is the sitting room.About the only luxury that it appears possible to aad is that of pneumatic tires.weltare of his patient, who is wholly un- other hospital in this city, and few else dowment fund.qualifvine for life govern- WITH HONOR.\u201cA man's nationality is agin him sometimes,\u201d

along the whitened fields in the valley of the Mo- solic the birds lay dead, as if they too had fought their fight and perished.Hera and there a few Prussian troops siragzled crward.There were wounds in the sides of the horees, dull red spots where the congealed blood had frozen.Along the road into the dim heart of the avering came a train of wagzons, each drawn by two horses.At the head of the procession was the Red Cross of the Geneva Convention, at the rear the Union Jack hung sullenly.The carts conveyed stores\u2014some tons of stores in all\u2014for Versailles.From first to last the route was not mors than a thousand miles; and yet, wided by moncy and stout horses, focurnsy occupied a whole month.And cr.one of the adventures of this convoy on the way I propose to dwell.The hour was getting late, the air nipped more shrewdly.Major Eustace scanned the white horizon anxiously; then he turned to his comrade, Captain Hud- d'estone, who bad dozed under the til: of the cart.\u201cSurely we must be close to Marny now,\u201d he said.\u201c1 hope so,\u201d Huddlestcne responded.\u201cAnd I also devoutly Lope that we shall cross the Moselle by the bridge at Font- noy by daybreak.11 that budge haz gone.our ¢hance of success becowes hopeless.\u201d 3 Justace was perfestly well aware of the fact.The blowing up of these river bridges Lad becoine a serious matter.Jt was all very well for the Vrussians to boast full sway of The roads, bui those ubiquitous Francs-tireurs seemed to spring armed and snaading from the ground; a bridge was blown up, a convoy cut off, and they had vanisied inte the frosty rime.\u2018They are bound to keep the bridge at Fontnoy,\u201d said Tiuddlestone.\u201cThey know quite well that General Mority lizs over yonder with his army corps.Until they are cut off aud destroyed, Moritz\u2019 force is a serious menace to the line of rommunicatiof up to Paris.And Von Stein\u2019s force behind us would be absolutely useless if the bridge were to go.It wvculd amount to a calamity.\u201d Fustace agreed.All the same, the French could not be blind to the fact;

rose redly over the belt of snow as the.convoy wagons rumbled into the village self and my duty.of Tour.Not more than a score of houses , remained, and hese were in the hands of half a troop of Uhlans.All {he same, an old campaigner like Eustace had no difh- culty in finding food and shelter in the village.The Red Cross of the Geneva Convention carried with it a fine mora} torce.In a large barn littered with straw and indifferently warmed bv a brazier of chay- coal, Bustace and Huddlestone lav down with the wagons and the horses.The drivers of the carts had found shelter elsewhere.By ten o'clock the whole village was wrapped in slumber.The Englishmen crouched closer under the straw.The blow of the brazier filled the barn with red, tremulons shadows.It seemed presently to the sleepy eyes of Nustace that something was moving von- der.An icy blast rustled amongst the straw, as if the door had been opened and closed again.Fustace struggled to a sitting position.There were some tons of provisions amongst his stores.and hunger cre now, he knew, had stirred simple peasants to desperate things.It was no fancy.A human form was creeping along between the horses.Then it scemed to Eustace that there were two of them.\u201cWho are you, and what are you after?\u201d he demanded.A human figure shot 4%, outlined by the glow of the brazier.Then another man rose promptly.Something glittered in the hand of the foremost intruder.\u201cDo you want me to shoot you?\u201d he said hoarsely.Huddlestone still slept soundly.He was drunk with tiredness, sodden with fatigue.Eustace could see the humor as well as the danger of the situation.\u201cNot unless you can do so without inconvenience to me.\u201d he said.The other man frowned.He advanced close to the brazier in order to warm his frozen hands.As he did so his great-coat fell away and disclosed, to Eustace\u2019s surprise, the uniform of a French general officer.» \"as possible.ou.\u201d .> \u201cTo enable you to blow up the bridge, Gen.Moray?\u201d | \u201cAllow me to compliment you on the quickness of your perceplions.\u2019 Co \u201cAt the same \u2018time, what you ask is 1m- possible,\u201d said Eustace, quietly.\u201cI cannot allow anything to stand between my- 1 am pledged to deliver my stores at Versailles as quickly À The destruction of the Font- noy bridge would delay me for many, many weeks.Your aims and ambitions are as nothing to me.Not only must I decline to help vou, but it becomes my positive duty to put every obstacle in your way.Meray strode across to the place where Tustnee was seated.1le steoped down and with grim playfulness laid the barrel of his revolver to Kustaces forehend.The iren was so cold it actually seemed to blister the skin.\u201cYou are a brave man, and I have no wish to blow your brains out,\u201d he whispered, \u201cbut if vou show anv aigns of mischief IT shall not hesitaie.My companion here is armed wich a rifle.Like myself, he is absolutely reckless of consequences.Whilst 1 am tremns\u2019ng on your hospitality, Lie will remain here to see that you remain passive.If either of vou nove he is to shoot you both.And, speaking from knowledge of the mam, he will assuredly do it.\u201d Eustace choked down his rising anger.Like a brave man who knows his own limits, Fustace bowed to the inevitable.It was a terrible nuisance, and it represented -the \u2018oss of much valuable time.Tustdiece could but admire the pluck and resource and daring of the man who had risked sc much to do so much single- handed.To some folks the scheme would have savored of madness.But Eustace knew better.Given a resolute man and a barrel of gunpowder, and he would have teen a bold speculator who ventured to insure the bridge at Fontnoy.\u201cThey call me a traitor,\u201d Moray whispered huskily.\u201cAm I acting like one now?Should T have incurred all these dangers when I might have been revelling in German gold?Is the projeat I have before me now.\u2018the act of a renegade?Look here!\u201d Moray pointed to his Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor.\u201cIt is dishonored, they say,\u201d he continued.\u201cI am going to show them their mistake.And T am going to prove my Free Medical Treatment On | NO _\u2014 Trial and Approval.MONEY IN ADVANCE.A course of remedies\u2014the marvel of medical science\u2014and Apparatus indorsed by physiclans will be sent ON APPROVAL WITHOUT ADVANCE PAYMENT to any honest man who is suffering from weakness peculiar to men.reasonable time and if not all you expect \u2014all you wish\u2014pack apparatus and remainder of Remedies into same box and send them back\u2014that ends it\u2014pay nothing!

\u201cBazaine's cat\u2019s-paw, if you like.Before joined you I was at Metz, remrmnber.\u201d \u201cThis 15 no time for quixotic sentiment, though,\u201d Lu-tace replied.\u2018In the name of common humanity it is our duty lo save the bridge.Our duty is clearly defined, whatever happens.\u201d \u201cThat's very prebty; but what do you propose to do?Our sombre friend ther: is evidently an enthusiast.He hath a murderous eye.\u201d By way of reply Eustace kicked out his foot and turned over the brazier of livid charcoal into the straw.A dozen points of crocus flame shot up.With a malediction upon Eustace\u2019s «lursiness, the Frenchman commenced to stamp out the hissing, purple flame.Anything like an alarm of fire would be fatal to his master\u2019s plans.With fevarish enrrgy he beat down the flames.But his presccupation gave Eustace just the opportunity he required.Like a flash he was on the Frenchman and had him by the throat.Down they fell, writhing and struggling in the sullen smoulder of the straw until Hud- dlestone dashed in and canght up the chassepot.Pierre yielded to the inevitable with a careless shruz.Constant misfortune had developed the salient points of his philosophy; and there was balm in the reflection of Moray\u2019s fifteen minutes\u2019 start.Justace flung open the door and plunged blindly into the snow.A hard diamond faced moon rose high in the heavens, it was bright enough io show the dead birds lying on the ficzen fields.A piercing wind swept over the valley, filling the air with erystals.At the inn down thie village street a window glared redly.Eustace thunderad on the door with both fists and called aloud for help.The aifa\u2019r bad resolved itself into a mere matter of moments.A sleepy-looking lientenant of Uhlans, with points untruseed and eyes aflame with cold, stumbled do the door.\u201cAh, Major,\u201d he muttered, \u201cand what the devil does this mean?\u201d Fustace explained briefly.À minute later i a bugle note ent the rarefied air and went echoing sullemly across the arctic plain.A score or so of Uhlans came siraggzling up, cursing the cause of this confusion.In an astonishingly shert time the horses were saddled and the troops ready to proceed.\u201cA two miles start, and six odd miles to the \u2018biridge,\u201d Lieut.Troop muttered.\u201cBut then the fellow has a wagon, and our horses ave fairly fresh.1 doubt not that we shall overtake our man yet.You will come, Major?\u201d \u2018The request was in the form of a command, All the sane Fustace and Huddle- stone had no desire to retuse, Sicep was now out of the question; and, moreover, the adventure promised to be an exciting one, Besides, the destruction of the Font noy bnidge would be a serious matter for them.Lieut.Troop was equally alive to the gravity of the situation.To protect the line of communication up to Faris the bridge must remain intact, else how would Von Stein cross over and fall upon the army corps of Gen, Moritz\u2014at present a veritable thorn in the side of the Prussians?Moritz was utterly unconscious of the foe bearing down upon him.The destruction of the bridge would frustrate all this.Once Movay had accomplished lis purpose, he would doubtless push on and acquaint Moritz with his danger.The lieutenant muttered strange things in his beard.\u201cHow did that fool of a sentry come to let the fellow pass?\u201d he growled.\u201cYou wiil find the sentry has a good excuse,\u201d said Eustace sigrificantly.He bad indeed.In a little hollow at the bend of the road leading from the village was a black mass inert on the froz en snow.A dead horse and man lay there.A heavy maetal-tipped helmet had rolled a litlle distamoer away, like a foolb-1l.The horse, hamstrung, had fallen, and doubtless wad perished of the cold, for the night was exceedingly bitter.They turmed the man over.The face was white and bloodless, the front of his great-coat shone with a crimson breastplate hard as steel.The poor fellow\u2019s lifeblood had flowed over the cloth and stiffened into a grim and hideous surtout of mail.His thwoat had been cut from oar to ear.\u201cThis is murder,\u201d Trcop said hcarscly.\u201cForward!\u201d There vas no attempt made at discipline or order.It was a headlong race for the bridge over the frozen road.\u2018The briMiant rays of the.sunshine and the heavy traffic caused by artillery and the like had beaten the way down to iron when bound up once more with the black night frosts.But there was no thought of this, no picking of the way.They raced forward as men follow the hounds across fair Ting- lish meadows \u2019Twas light as day, and as the clattering clump of Thlans breasted a hill, far ahead of them they could see a little black speck creeping westward.À loud yell of triumph followed the viewing of the quarry.All the same Moray was two good miles alread, and, despite the noise and clatter, the rate of progression was of nceessity slow.Ever and anon a horse would come crashing to the ground, there would be a dissolving view of man and beast, a wild, harsh jingling of brass and steel, followed by a guttural anathema.But Troop stopped for nothing, A man or two more or less made little difference.The others could find their way back to the village again.And so the midnight chase went on.Troop's heart glowed as he recognized the fact that they were gradually gaining on Moray.\u201cWe shall have him yet,\u201d he cried ex- ultingly.\u201cAt any rate.should he reach the bridge before us, we shall be near enough to render his purpose impossible.You need have non further anxiety, Major.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t see it quite in the same light,\u201d said Eustace, as he bumped along by the lieutenant\u2019s side.\u201cBar accidents, Moray 1 certain to cross the bridge before we he asked \u201cNo peace 2 \u201c -\u2014 «© \u2026-\u2014\u2026_= .- _ get there, and Movitz 15 lying at Beray yonder, not more than four miles Irom the brulge.\u201d \u2018\u2019Thait is 80,\u201d Troop muttered.\u201cVery well.The outposts cannot be very far away.And where & body of Fianes-uiveurs may be, one can never tell.If Moray succeeds in giving the alarm, the bridge wiil be held Long before you can bring up chough men Ww do anything.And Moray krows what Gen.Von Stein s plans are.lf we fail to actually capture Moray, vou can say goodbye to that bridge before the day breaks.\u201d \u201cBy heavens! you are right,\u201d Troop cried.\u201clool that I was not to see tius before! Here you, Junker, Herzell, ride back to Pkussy without delay.Explain to the Colonel what has happened, and beg nim to send me a field battery and a troop of cavalry.Away with you at once!\u201d The troopers saluted, and slewed their horses round, not without chagrin.By this time the sides of the road had begun to trend down, the highway taking the form of a railway erabankment; and so it continued for at least three miles right up to the bridge at I'ontnoy.In piping times cf peace this fine piece cither side, 107 the ii both ways was sheer, and in the dark night had formed an element of considerable danger.but the posts and rails had long since been tern up by a predatory invader fur tire- wood.The snow had caked and frozen Lill the road was positively heg-backed, the glassy slopes to the valley were fairly sheer.To proceed along this portion of the read when frost-bound as at present was à thing of more or less danger even on foot.To race along it now at full speed on a maddened horse was positive inf sanity.Anything like a slip meant a plunge down a cliff of some forty fcet on to a field hard as granite.\u201cFestina lente,\u201d Eustace muttered, I don\u2019t like this much.It looks like an emphatic case of more haste less speed.\u201d But Troop would have none of caution.His blood was fairly up by this time.and his quarry was a bare half-mile in front.How Moray, driving a cart and a pair of half-broken horses, cov zed to keep to the highway was @ thing that seemed almost in the light 8e a miracle.\u201cHe inust come to grief,\u201d =aid Troop.\u201cTt 13 impossible .ah!\u201d There was a clang of a hammer on an anvil, a violent concu-sion of man and beast upon the roadway, and then a trooper and his steed slid like, lightning down the side of the road and shot headlong into the valley.A sickening crash was followed by a faint cry and all was still.Troop ground his teeth and groaned inwardly.the chilling catastrophe had, perhaps, un- conscioysly slackened the speed of his men.IFiercely he dug his spurs into his own horse.\u201cForward!\u201d he cried.\u201cForward! The like of that will not come again.And, see, We are even now gaining upon oul man.Nortgen, try a shot at him.\u201d À bullet sped harmlessly on its way.A moment later, and from the fugitive there came back a faint yell of defiance.But the echo of the exultant ring had hardly died away when Moray\u2019s cart suddenly heeled over to the right, there was a clatter and ring of struggling hoofs, and as if by magic the whole thing, man, horses, conveyance, disappeared from view.Moray had failed with vietorv almost in his grasp and the Fontnoy bridge was saved! \u201cThere goes a brave man and two gof the best horses I ever had,\u201d Eustace groaned.\u201cYou won\u2019t require your supports now, Lieutenant.\u201d Troop rodded exmltingly.His eyes glittered with triumph.He pressed on to the scene of the catastrophe, but more cautiously now.He could afford to move slowly.When they reached the spot they cotild see the horses kicking and plunging, bnt no sign of Moray could they discern.\u201cWe can't get down there,\u201d said ITud- dlestone.\u201cLieutenant, get your men to rut a bullet or two into those poor beasts.\u201d One or two rifle shots rang out, and the picture grew still.From the edge of the river came a piping scream of defiance.Troop rubbed his eyes.By the edge of the black water stood a thin figure.Moray had escaped after ail.Doubtless he had taken the shots as fruitless essays in his own direction.\u201cIe can\u2019t escape us now,\u201d cried, C.But he was mistaken.In the moonlight they saw two arms go up, there was a splash in the sullen flood.and almost before the Uhlans could taken in what had happened something like a big black on the other side of the icy Moselle.\u201cWhat a man'\u201d Troop muttered with involuntary admiration.\u201cAll the same, there is no time for sentiment, and he nust not be allowed to escape.along.It is only a question of minutes.\u201d Morav meanwhile had passed into a little hollow beyond the crest of the steep opposite bank.The small German force could hear him calling as he ran.Then, apparently out of the snow like midges on sunny mornings, a ho=t of dark figures appeared.As the Uhlans crowded over the bridge there came a dozen or so of quick flashes, and with bewildering quickness a trio of German saddles were empty.Something sharp and short came from Troop\u2019s lips.Tt seemed as if the pear had been snatched ripe and juicy from his hands.\u201cSound the retreat!\u201d he cried.\u201cTo press forward now would be madness.A malediction on the French in gencral and those cursed Franes-tireurs in particular! ?III.Meanwhile Moray had got clear away behind the scarp of the hill on the far side of the Moselle.The icy coldness of the water struck to his heart like a knife: a man less grimly set upon his task would have gone down and perished in the chill stream.Not so Moray; it mattered nothing to him whether he lived or died.Ie vas actually courting Death.From the fatal- 1st\u2019s point of view there was nothing further left to live for.Ie could clear his tarnished honor and die for France.Men in his desperate case raroly perish.So it was with Moray.He knew no fear; for the time being he was possessed with to destroy the bridge and save General Moritz.He ran on and on, hardly heeding his way and barely constious of the fact that his wet garments were freezing to his body.\"Then as he slid down into the ho!- low he saw a building, a cottage, Lelore him.A red glow shone out from vne of the latticed windows.\u201cHalt, or I fire!\u201d a stern voice rang out crisply.Moray gave a crv of joy.The challenge came from a Frane-tireur.\u201cHeaven he praised!\u201d Morav exclaimed.\u201cI may be in time vet.My friend, vou must take me to your captain without delay.\u201d The captain proved to be a second Tieu- tenant.a beardless stripling hardened by events to a sternness beyond his yenrs.A score or so of men lounged and smoked and slept in the cottage.A wood fire roared on the hearth.\u201cI am General Moray,\u201d said the intruder, half defiantly.An ominous growl followed.Eves were turned up insolently.\u201cThere ic no time to explain now,\u201d raid Moray.\u201cWhen history comez to be written, France shall have no cause to blush for me.But enough of that.Know that at great danger and privation to myself Before deciding on the locality for your summer vacation you will find it to your interest to make inquiries about the Quebec and Lake St.John Railway, the new route to the far- famed Saguenay.and the only rail line to the delightful summer resorts and fishing grounds north of Quebec, and through the Canadian Adirondacks to Lake St.John, the home of the celebrated \u2018Ouananiche.\u201d and to Chicou- timi.Trains Connect at Chicoutimi with Saguenay steamers.Hotel Rober val, Lake St.John.has first-class accommodation for 300 guests.A beautifully illustrated Guide Book free on application to Alex.Hardy, Quebec.of roadmaking had befn fenced off ony He did not fail to notice that | Troop | .; ; : t the destruction that awaits him.is the bearing of children.or pain.and complete.herself during gestation.should wreck the health.comes.paper can do just what this lady did Mrs.real, Canada:\u2014 of my last child, four years ago.regain my strength.could hardly walkover.specialist.advice.derre\u2019s Red Pills and Dr.hygienic rules of your specialist.of all by troubles.The noblest, grandest duty of a wife The ordeal ought not to be accompanied by fear Recovery ought to be quick If a mother breaks down after her child is born, it is because she did not take proper care of Nature never intended that the bearing of children ere is a most wonderful medicine that gives comfort and strength to * omen before and after the little one The following letter from Mrs.Pierre Fortin tells about this medicine, and every woman who reads this Fortin writes as follows to the Franco-American Chemical Co., Mont- \u201cMy sickness began after the birth e- came so weak that I had a great hemorrhage, from which I nearly died.I was a long time in bed, and could not I was dizzy, and I had palpitation of the heart, and my body ached all I saw in the newspapers how so many women had been cured by Dr.Coderre\u2019s Red Pills for Pale and Weak Women, and I resoived to write your He gave me most valuable Then I faithfully took Dr.Co- Coderre\u2019s Purgative Tablets, and followed the The result is that today I am perfectly cured I eat and sleep well, and can do all my work without the help of anybody.No one could induce me to take any other remedy than Dr.Coderre\u2019s Red Pills.I recommend them Was So Sick and Weak, She Nearly Died \u2014Was and Could Hardly Walk \u2014 Now She Does Her Own Housework and is Perfectly Well.to a great many of my women friends, and know of a large number who are already much better.\u201d (Signed.)
