begun.Plans of Campaign.British\u2014General Buller is said to be sending forward all available troops without regard for War Office red tape or the division for which they were originally

that the Boers had outposts within 1,500 yards of the British entrenchments.A telegraph message was received at Dstéourt yesterday that there was nothing to report.MAFEKING\u2014An undated despatch received by runner at Magalapye on November 8, states that a heavy bombardment has been in progress all week.A squadron of the Protectorate Regiment made a magnificent charge on the Boer entrenchments, driv: ing them from the position and bayoneting many.The British loss was 6 killed, 2 prisoners and 9 wounded, while that of the Boers was much heavier.Only one man has been wounded by the bombardment, although the Boers are using eight guns.In a later skirmish, one trooper was killed and nine wounded.KIMBERLEY\u2014No late news of any importance has been received from Kimberley.At last reports the town was in no immediate danger and the garrison was cheerful and confident.Cape Town, Friday, Nov.10.\u2014A despate | received here from Pretoria, under date of | Thursday, November 9, says the reports | received there from Ladysmith said heavy cannonading started at daybreak; that some of the Boer forces were within 1,600 .vards of the British when the cannonading D, ceased, and rifle fire commenced.The Pretoria despatch also announced that all was quiet at Mafeking and Kimberley.If the news contained in the Pretoria despatches is correct, and there is every is accurate, as the invariably reason to believe it Boer despatches have almost hitherto rendered fairly accurate accounts, It is claimed here that it implies that a general assault on Ladysmith was pending when General Joubert\u2019s report was sent off.Attention was called to the fact that the date, November 9, is assumed to be the date of General White\u2019s last pigeon post message announcing a renewal of the bombardment, since which nothing has been received except rumors from Estcourt that the bombardment was suspended November 10.It is claimed that if the Boers got thelr forces within 1,500 yards of the British position, it shows they fully realized the necessity of utilizing the brief Interval before the arrival of the British reinforcements to make a determined attempt to storm General White's position.READY TO ASSAULT.To successfully advance so close to Lady- smith, it is pointed out, the Boers must have been most active in entrenching, and the nearness of the besieging lines, it is added, indicates their readiness for the asault which there has been a disposition in military circles to believe the Boers were not willing to undertake.It must, however, have been patent to General Joubert that Ladysmith would not fall to the fire of his artillery, and therefore he had no choice but to assault the place or retire to the passes of the Dra- kensburg, in the hope of involving the pursuing Britisa in the intricate fastnesses of the mountains, The cessation of cannonade mentioned \u2018n the despatch and the opening of musketry fire implies, ft 1s claimed, that the Boers were obliged to stop their artillery for fear of hitting their own men, and that nothing further has been heard from this movement is regarded here as an indication either that the threatened assault was postponed or that the result was indecis- 1s claimed, something ive, otherwise, it further would have leaked out before now.PUBLISHED IN PARIS.A Paris paper this morning gleefully an nounces the fall and capture of Ladysmith, but reports from tHis source no longer cause a rinple oë excitement.Nevertheless, there will be considerable anxiety here until the War Office or some independent version of the latest developments at Ladysmith is known.MAFEKING HOLDING QUT.A private message from Mateking re- 2orts tlwt all was well there Monday, No- The details of the fighting received by way of Cape relate to the er- vember 6that Mafeking, Town and Magalazye, gagement of October 25th, already reported.The story, However, is pleasant reading to the British, as it shows the garrison was cheerful, well provisioned and conû- dent.REVOLT OF BASUTOS.The possible revolt of the Basuto cotef Joel, who, it has been announced, may join the Boers, is attributed to tribal jealousy.There has been a long feud between the half-brothers Jonathan and Joel, the latter refusing to recognize his brother\u2019s nomination as chief.Joel, therefore, took an anti-British side against Jonathan in 1880, and committed most hideous atrocities.If be joins the Boers, it is prophesied, Chiefs Lerothodi, Jonathan and others, are liable to muke short work of the recalcitrants.FIGHTING AT MAFEKING.Cape Town, Nov.15.\u2014An undated despatch received by runner, via Magalapys, Wednesday, November 8, \u201cTo-day all is quiet.We have been bombarded pretty heavily all week.Friday night Captain Fitz-Clarence and Lieut.Swinburn, with \u2018\u2018D\u201d skuadron, of the Protectorate Regiment, made a magnificent bayonet charge upon the Boers\u2019 entrenchment, driving them from their positions and bayoneting numbers of the Boers, who must have lost very heavily.Th charge was most gallant and determined.The party could not hold the trenches and lost six men killed, two prisoners, and nine wounded in their retirement.We expect a general attack to-morrow.The pombordment has been most ineffectual.Everyone remains under shell-proof cover.So far the shells have only wounded one man.The enemy are using one 94-pound howitzer, and seven other guns, from 7 to 14 pounders.The town is most cheerful, and determined to resist attack to the utmost.The Boers are entrenched on every side in great numbers, and are pushing gradually closer ann closer to the town fortifications.We are well off for provisions and water, though very tired, dodging shells and fighting.Quite on civilized lines, Gen Cronje has always given due notice of a bombardment, and allowed an ambulance party two hours, on Saturday, to recover the bodies of the six dead left in the vicinity of the Boer trenches.On Friday night, Jan Botha, the well-known Boer commandant, told a man with the ambulance party that their loss had been heavy, and that his heart was very sore.\u201cThe wounded include Captain Fitz-Clar- ence and Lieut.Swinburn, both slightly.\u201cIn a skirmish at the outposts yesterday, one trooper was killed and nine were wounded.\u201d from Mafeking, says: TROOPSHIPS ARRIVE.London, Nov.15.\u2014It was officially announced this afternoon that the British troopship Gorkha, with the first brigade staff, the Third Battalion of Grenadiers, and a detachment

Drownod\u2014Extensive Damage to Shipping at Digby.Port Hood, C.B., Nov.14.\u2014A terrific hurricane raged here yesterday, in which Rich- ard Smith, of Smith\u2019s Island, a prominent resident of the place, and his son, Everett, a promising young lad of 19 years, lost their lives.The morning was fine, with no Indication of an immediate storm.Seven boats with two men in each sailed for the banks, seven miles north of the island.The gale struck them about 10 o'clock.No time was lost in reefing sails and steering for the harbor.Just as Smith entered the harbor a wave swamped his boat, which sunk at once, the occupants clinging to buoy and rigging for two hours.When the boat which came to their rescue had reached them the son had sunk to rise no more, and the father expired before being taken into the boat.It is reported that another boat sank five miles north of here, but the report lacks confirmation.The storm was the worst felt for years here.Digby, N.8.,

are received several officers and seamen will be found missing.A large number of fishing boats have been destroyed along the coast.NATURE'S FIREWORKS The Meteoric Display as Witnessed from M'Gill University Early This Morning.EARTH AND THE LEONIDS Shower of Shooting Stars Not Quite so Brilliant as Expected\u2014May Be Better To-night.Very elaborate and complete arrangements were made by Professor Me- Leod, of the Faculty ence at McGill University, and superintendent and director of the bev FB observations of the great display of nature\u2019s fireworks which was seen in the early hours this morning.The professor and his staff were scanning the heavens for nieteors from the hour of midnight, and his photographic apparatus-was kept busily employed at McGill, and as at all the other observatories of this conttnegt, arrangements were made for counting as many meteors as possible.The display on this occasion is one only to be witnessed once in thirty-three years.The reason is this: Every year about November 13th the earth, as it travels along the orbits of its revolution round the sun, crosses ihe orbit of the swarm of meteorites known as the Leonids, which also revolve in a definite path round the sun.Consequently the earth encounters every year straggling meteorites, which, however, do not fcrm part of the swarm itself.It is when the earth collides with thls sivarm, as it does once every thirty-three years, that the showers of what may be termed natural fireworks are on an exten sive and magnificent scale.The earth travelling at the rate of over 60,000 miles per hour, will dash right through the swarm of little bodies.These In turn, will rush through our atmosphere towards the surface of the earth at such a tremendous rate, and the friction against the air will be so terrific that the meteor- Ites will suddenly become incandescent and will then be visible to us as shooting stars.They are rubbed and burnt away bv the air so quickly that it Is seldom a metenr- ite reaches the earth\u2019s surface.In Polar regions a fine dust is frequently to be seen on the white snow, and by scientists this Is svppoused to be due to the disintegration of these bodies.Astronomers are eagerly anticipating the forthcoming display.The last took place in 1866, One anfortunate circumstance interfered with the efficacy of the observations made by Professor McLeod.The moon was unfortunately too bright for the meteors to be seen to their best advantage.The lunar satellite of earth is just-ap- proaching the full stage, and it was shining with great brilliance upon the snow at midnight, when the display was expected to begin, and continued to shine brightly until daybreak.\u201d Professor McLecd has received from Professor C.BE.Pickering, of Harvard Col lege Observatory, the following memorandum regarding the phenomenon: \u201cThe time of appearance of the November meteors is somewhat unecertain, In 1799 they anpear- ed on the night between November 11 and 12 In 1832 on November 12-13, and in 1866 on November 13-14.This year we might therefore expect them early in the morning of Wednesday.November 13.On the other hand, two English astronomers, Messrz.Stoney and Downirg, from a careful discussion of the paths of these meteors.predict their appearance on the morn- tng of Thursday, November 16.In 1823 the principal shower lasted five or six hours; in 1866 for less than an hour.In any case, comnaratively few meteors may be expected before midn\u2018gh* It would bo safest, therefore.to watch the northeastern sky on b th Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and.if many meteôrs are seen before midnight.a greater number may be expected later,\u201d It js interesting to note that the first record of the appearance of this display was in 002.which was called the year of stars because an immense number of falling stars were seen to spread themselves over the face of the sky like rain.As there will he no opportunity for another 33 years of witnessing such an exhibition of nature\u2019s fireworks it is not surprising thav many people staved up with their cameras to try their hand at photographing the heavens.Star gazing proved slow work, however.for up to half-past one o\u2019clock only one meteor was observed at McGill.As the small hours advanced the shooters began to appear singly at first, but later on in twos and threes.and finally there was a smail shower, not so larze as expected, however.Altogether about 100 meteorites were counted.There was no halo of glory covering the skv such as might have been looked for had the optimistic prediction ahout the \u201cgreatest stream of meteors that ever burst from the constellation of Leo\u2019 been vert- fled.Probably to-night\u2019s display will be greater, and, no doubt, many will be tempted to watch for an opportunity which does not come often in the span of mortal existence.A despatch from Harvard states that one hundred and forty-seven meteors.58 of them leonides, were observed during this morning at the Harvard College observa- torv by about a dozen persons.At one time the meteors fell at the rate of one & minute.and some of them were bright as stars of the first magnitude.Several photographs were taken, but a cursory examl- nation failed to show meteoric trails on the plates.Almost everything that of Applied Sci- } KILLED IN

Police Will Investigate.Kingston, Nov.15.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The greatest excitement was occasionea thls morning when the news was spread that a murder hod Been committed within the contines of Kingston before daybre:k.It is years since a murder has occurred in the Limestone City, and it is yet in doubt whether the killing which took place this morning will be placed under the category of murder.The victim of the affair was John James, violinist, Cniversity avenue, and Charles Jrolick.prop:ietor of the Cataraqui Driving Park Hotel, Williams- ville, fired the fatal shot.The facts ascertained at this early writing are: At four o\u2019c.ock this morning Mr.Fralick was awakened by his wife, who informed him that she heard noises at the rear of the hotel Mr.Fralies arose and opened a window.He saw two men in his chicken royst, and picking up a revolyer fired at the thieves, who immediately disappeared.He went out ana found that the heads of foriy-eight of his chickens had been wrung, and that the fowls were in readiness to be carried away by the men.On looking further about the place to sec the direction the men nad taken.he.saw the body of one ot them lying in the field of Mr.Wilder, whose property adjoins that of the hotel.The man was dead, and upon examination proved to be John James.His companion had got safely away.Mr.Fralick immediately went across the street to Mr.Purdy, county constable, and gave himself up, informing him of the shooting.The body was removed to Corbett's un.deytaking rooms, and Fraliek drove to the poifce station with Mr.Purdy and was taken into custody.The dead man is about thirty years of age, and was the son of Martin James, ship carpenter, University avenue.He was violinist in a local orchestra which does considerable work.A wife and a young child are left.The Ceceased\u2019a brother stated this morning that he had left home last night about eight o'clock in good splr- its.He never knew his brother to have any interest in fowl, and his actions in this case he cannot explain.His brother, he further says, Was seen by various parties at the fire on Princess street at 3 o'clock this morning, and was then all right: an hour or so later he was dead.An inquest is called.There are rumors as to the shooting other than that given out, and which will be run down at the inquest.Further Investigation confirms the story of the shooting of James while escaping from the house.A neighbor heard thesa shots, saw three men juü#p the fence, and later saw Fralick hunting around with a lantern and coming upon the dead body.Av Inquest will be held at 4 p.m.James was shot through the heart, the bullet evidently entering through the back.NE MEN INJURED \u2014\u2014ttet\u2014 By the \u2018Caving in of a Drain in

Controversy Nw Being Waged WILL NOT AFFECT THE LAKES, Various Water-Ways, He Asse rts, Will Not Diminish Depth of Water in Navigable Channels.(From the Resident Correspondent of The Montreal Herald.) Washington, Nov.15.\u2014A Washington Government official has added a new chapter to the controversy which has arisen in regard to the levels of the Great Lakes and the dangers supposed to be threatening navigation on the Inland waters of the United States.Prof.A.J.Henry, who is an offi- clal of the Weather Bureau and a prominent memher of the National Geographic Society, has prepared a paper showing that the various canals which are tapping the lakes for the purpose of providing water power will not.seriously affect the depth of the pavigable channels.FAVORS THE CANALS.Some time ago the Lake Carriers\u2019 Association began an agitation based on the assumption that these canals would so reduce the levels of the Great Lakes at various places from Sault Ste.Marie to the Niagara River as to seriously affect navigation interests and require lighter draught vessels.Opinions have been expressed pro and con.Prof.Henry has prepared charts to bear out his argument in favor of the canals, and is.very emphatic in maintaining that they cannot adversely affect the navigable channels.DUE TO HIGH WINDS.He says that the widest variations in the lake levels are due to high winds.Lake Erie rose eight feet at Buffalo and fell seven feet at.Toledo.simultaneously on one occasion, he says, as the result of a fifty- mile gale from the souhwest.The annual changes are due, Prof, Henry says, to variation in the annual precipitation in the lake region, and he gives figurés to support this statement.Tn \u2018explanation of the drop in the level of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, Prof.Henry says that it has been apparently accounted for in the discoveries made by the survey of the St.Clair River, the outlet of these lakes, made in 1898.In this survey it wag found that corrosion had deepened the St.Clair eighteen feet beyond what it was in 1867, the time of the last survey of the bottom.It is estimated by Prof.Henry -that the Chicago drainage canal, by increasing the means of outlat of these lakes, will decrease the pressure on the St.Clair River and check the corrosion of the bottom and the consequent lowering of tlie lake levels.This theory in regard to Lakes Huron and Michigan does.not, of course, take account of the objections urged against the water power projects at Niagara Falls, which were a matter of so much concern to the people of the United States and Canada at one time, but it is Prof.Henry's belief that the lake.levels at no point will be seriously.affected by any of the water power and drainage projects at present contemplated.WALTER E.CLARK.Premier Ross Addresses Liberal Convention at Whitby.TO DEVELOP THE COUNTRY Increase to Grants of Agricultural Co 1 leges Favored as Soon as Finances Warrant fit, Whitby, Nov.15.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Premier Ross made an excellent impression when he spoke at length yesterday at the Liberal convention here, outlining a policy of progress in the most explicit terms, as adopted by the new administration.He severely condemned electoral corruption, and expressed a determination to punish offenders in that conneetion.As to the Government\u2019s programime, he said: \u201cI think we should address.ourselves and apply our surplus means to the development of our country\u2014first to the development of New Ontario, and secondly to the development of Old Ontario.Little Belgium, much smaller than Ontario, has several agricultural colleges.Belgium, Denmark, all these central divisions of Lurope, know that instruction in agriculture and in the education of thelr artisan classes.If our finances warrant if, why not increase our grants to these institutions, and why not increase our grants to the Public and High schools, and our grants for the improvement of roads and so one?We live in a progressive period.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A LECTURE ON THE CHINESE.A lecture will be delivered at 8 o\u2019clock- this evening at Laval University by Rev.Father Fouillet, S.J., who has been formerly a missionary in China.The subject of his lecture will be \u201cThe Chinese and their religion, political organization and literary education.\u201d Admission free.COMING EVENTS Academy\u2014*\u201cTFor Her Sake.\u201d (An impossible and uninteresting drama poorly played.)

CENT.\u2014 \u2014 REGARD FOR RED TAPE WILL NOT DETAIN HIM General Buller Will Use the First Troops That Reach Him, Regardless of Paper Plans.Toronto, November 15.\u2014(Special.) \u2014 The Globe publishes the following London cable: \u2014Some military wniters suggest that General White's position may be regarded more seriously at Cape Town than it is in London, since General Buller is not adhering strictly to the oniginal scheme of organization, but is sending battalions to Durban which are outside the first division, They assume that it was his intention to despatch only 10,000 men to the relief of Ladysmith, whereas some of the best experts have held that he will not take any risks but will have 20,000 men in the column, including the 4,000 troops and marines in Lower Natal.When re-inforcements begin to arrive he can certainly be depended upon to send forward the first cavalry that arrives without regard to red tape or to the scheme of organization on paper.LOOK TOWARDS

in Central Asia or Persia when Japan is menacing her with war in Corea, and when Germany also is on the friendliest possible relations with Britain.FRENCH CRITICS ANGRY.French critics enraged by the action of British cruisers in policing Delagoa Bay and stopping the Cordova, and also by rumors that the Queen will go to San Remo in preference to Nice, when she visits the Riviera, are already exulting over the Ger- man Emperor's coolness in declining munl cipal honors from Portsmouth and London.These matters would attract little attention if there were more stirring news frm South Africa.IN TOUCH WITH LADYSMITH.This morning's papers record few substantial facts as to the progress of the South African campaign, but the Daily Mail learns on inquiry in well informed quarters that

War.HAS DIVIDED FAMILIES New York Post Publishes the Story of Mr.Theron and His Son as a Case in Point.The New York Post publishes the following editorial :\u2014 The ioyalty of the Dutch in Cape Colony, vr.der the most trying circumstances, is one of the remarkawie and really unexpeci- ed things in the South African war.It is easy to sneer at the quiescence of the Cape Duichmen, and say that they refrain froin treason only because they are afraid ef treason\u2019s fate.But the evidence is abundant that the mass of them, while grieved and even indignant at the wal agaist wen of their race\u2014in many cCasés their cwn kinsmen- vet mean to be faivhful to the Government under which they are cit zens.The dreaded Afrikander Bond has, 1uste:#® of proving a firebrand, shown itself in reu:- ity a powerful agency in keeping the Dutch public quiet.1ts teaders, Messrs.Hot- nieyr and Theron, far from making iufam- watory speeches, or putting incendiary matter into their organ, Ons Land, have done their best to prevent all public meetings, and have urged self-restraint and loyalty.Yet the strain of divided affections and sympathies is, in many cases, severe indeed.At a meeting of Dutch members of the Cape Dlarllament, immediately de fore the outbreak of hostitities, the chairman, Mr.Theron, began by reading, with teurs in bis eyes, à letter he had just received from his son, a young buygher of the Transvaal, to whom he had, written asking what he proposed to do.\u2018You ask me what I intend to do.1 intend to do my duty as a burgher towards the country of my adoption, and leave to God the care of my wife and child.\u201d Reading this letter, the chairman turned to his fellow- members : \u201cThis teaches us a true lesson.As my boy rightly determines to be loyal to his country, so shall we be loyal to ours\u2019\u2014a remark whion was received with loud murmurs of assent and sympathy.Mr.Theron afterwa™® forwarded this letter to the British High Commissioner, with the sole comment : \u201cThis is my only son.\u201d We get a hint in this of the cruel division of families which the war between races in South Africa has made heartrending in so many instances.Nothing like it has been seen since our civil war.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A WHALER WRECKED.Victoria, B.C., November 14.\u2014The steamer Alpha, which arrived this morning from Cape Nome, brought thefirst mate and 32 of the crew of the whaling barque eMrmaid, of New Bedford, Mass., which was left a wreck at Dutch Harbor.The Mermaid sailed from San Francisco on March 28 last, and after eight months of dirty weather in the far northern seas, was wrecked in a series of heavy gales encountered at the close of October.She was built forty-six years ago at New Bed- ford.According to those who returned this morning she was unseaworthy.She had about thirty-five tons of whalebone and a similar amount of whale oll.Her etnire cargo, including two whales, was worth $20,000.It was brought down on the Alpha, and will be shipped to San- Francisco.The vessel itself was worth perhaps $30,000.Captain Gifford will try to sell the hulk for cost of hepalring her at Dutch Harbor, which will not exceed that of buying a new craft.TONES PREEIR T BLAZE IN KINGSTON.Kingston, Nov.15.\u2014(Special.)\u2014At an early

which says that during the afternoon General Cronje, the Boer commander, sent an envoy to Colonel Baden-Powell, under a flag of truce, to declare that he did not consider the fyeneva convention

required to respect thie convent.the hospital and the women's laager, all of which were beyond the town limits.The British commander also pointed out that mines were recognized adjuncts or civilized

Nov.15.\u2014The failure of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club to challenge promptly for Canada\u2019s Cup is a matter of surprise, and when the Chicago Yacht Club men become aware of it, it will cause a deal of surprise in the Windy City also.The victorious Genessee had hardly left the harbor before a dozen cousultations were held, and it was at least informally decided to challenge for the trophy.For weeks ther was nothing else for it than that the club must win back the plate.Canadian designers and their creations past and present were cagerly canvassed, and some members went as far as to discuss the advisability of enlisting the services of William Fife, jr., the designer of Shamruex.Then the Shamrock-Columbia contest came on, and matters relating to Canada\u2019s Cup were relegated to second place, and the result is that the time for challenging hus been allowed to pass, and nothing has been done, Of course the fact that the time limit has expired does not necessarily entail that the Royal Canadian Club cannot challenge for next season.They waived thelr right to =x ten-months notice when the Chicago Club sent on their challenge, and as a matter of courtesy the Chicago yachtsmen would pro bably consider a challenge from the 'Toronto club even if it was received as late as February, 1900.But the fact that tha club has allowed the matter to pass the limit is not the who le significance of the affair.The seeming indifference to the of challenging at all for next season is what is causing despair among those who studw yachting matters.The only consolation is that it \u201cdoes not take enough to Kindle en- | merits in the club.If some one has re merity enough to start a subscription the price of a white-winged flyer would soon de raised, and the challenge would of course follow.The Royal Hamilton Yaeht Club is the only other fresh water yachting club In Canada which could handle a challenze, That the Hamiltonians are thorough sports.| men is

I'll call again.\u201d It is not likely that the mistresses have any idea of the behaviour of their maids, but it Is a pity they do not know, for they would hardly care to have people coming to their houses treated with discourtesy.Another habit of many maids which would make the mistresses highly indignant could they but know, is to pull asiac tha sash curtain or bilnd at the door ana see who it is Defore opening the door.Whether they fear burglars, or whether they cannot restrain thelr curiosity till the door is opened, cannot be ascertained.The fact remains that in very nice houses the maids do this, and while the visitor shivers on the steps the servant peeps out and then cpens the door.lt is to be hopeu if the ladies carry out their plan of having a training school for servants that the girls will be taught the proper way to open the door and admit visitors.Then the timid, unasscrtive caller will not be obliged to feel as if she had been caught stealing the spo ns or doing anything else not sanctigned by polite society.For after all, that's the way one does feel when the domestic is unpleasant and appears to think your visit an intrusion.G00 0000000000000 {SOCIAL AND PERSONAL 2 COC 00004004 0006006000000 The Misses Kerry, of Durocher Street, gave a little tea on Monday afternoon.* * + Mrs.Simms, of University Street, who has Leen il for the past three weeks, is a little better.* *« * Lord Minto\u2019s new aide, Mr.Mann, who 's coming out very shortly with Lady Minto, tt is said, will be a distinct acquisition to Ottawa society.Mr.Mann will not feel quite a stranger, as he has relations in Canada.Mr.W.D.Armstrong, of Toronto, Is his first cousin.* * = The Ladies\u2019 Tennis Club.shich has secured the Montreal Racquet Court for two mornings every week, has eleeted the fo'- lowing officers for the ensuing year :\u2014Pre- sde, Mrs.H.Vincent Meredith;

and sometimes they administer the wrong bottle and cause very Serlous catastrophes.\u2019 Amid much laughter Lord Dufferin declared that if he himself felt ill he would sooner eppeal to the professional knowledge and skill of his daughter, who is qualifying as a nurse in the London Hospital, than \u2018to the amateurish efforts of his zealous but incompetent wife.\u2019 7 Toronto has simply gone wild over the young English contralto, Clara Butt.Her magnificent voice, gowns and beauty all come in for their share of admiration, and hy all accounts she is a marvellous creature.One society writer says:\u2014Those who had the good fortune to hear and see Clara Butt at Massey Hall will never forget her glorious voice, the very outpouring, as it were, of her heart and soul, that went out in those grandly passionate outbursts of melody.Neither will they forget her per- scnality\u2014quite the most striking and impressive one that has ever roused our proverbially cold and platonic audiences into something akin to enthusiasm.This young giantess\u2014for she is over six feet\u2014has been lavishly endowed by nature, that forgets some of us and showers too much on others.She is adorable, too, in her graciousness of mood! Her trick of uplifting her well-poised head, half closing her dark and shining eyes, and sustaining the effect of her song until the audience is hushed and calmed, and only stirred when it is time to give an outburst of applause is magnificent.Like herself and her method, the gowns of this young queen of song are | unique.On Monday night she was radiantly beautiful in a sheath-like robe composed of dark green sequins: one shone like a coat of mail, another, it glittered like water in the moonlight.No ornaments but great strings of pearls coiled about the snow-white throat and hung low over the dark tints of her gown.On Friday night she was even more beautiful.\"and pretty skirt.moment .t: Like the previous night, her robe clung ugutly to tue lithe form and looked like an armor ol pearl, and, as a critic known to be more than ordinarily clever has put it, \u2018shimmered like suow in the suniight.\u201d Against the white of her bosom, cranson flowers made a ruddy blot of color.Roses and chrysanthemums filled her arms aiter a song or two\u2014and how prettily and artlessly she took the tributes! We owe to Mr.Suckling an everlasting debt of gratitude for having given us twice the opportunity of revelling in the music of this splendid creature.* * * Miss Granville, whose departure this week with Lady Charles Paulet from Ottawa to England is much regrettew, has Deen tue giiest of honor au several entertainments lately, notably the dinner party given for her at Government House and the

Aberdecnshire.They were of the famous \u201cJock and Tam\u201d Gordons, and each generation fought valiantly in the cause of the Stuarts.Sir John Gordon of Haddo was executed for his loyalty to his sovereign, after long \u2014\u2018imprisonment in \u201cHaddo\u2019s Hole,\u201d St.Giles\u2019 Chureh, Edinburgh.It was his grandson, Sir George Gordon, who became \u2018the first Parl of Aberdeen.He was one of the most accomplished men of his day, and was made Lord Chancellor of Scotland\u2014a nomination which gave so much offence to the Scotch peers that he had to be made an earl because all his predecessors in that high office were nobles.The singular and melancholy disappearance of the brother of the present peer is one of the striking incidents of the last 30 years.He was passionately devoted to the sea, and, laying aside his title and estates, he assumed the name of Osborne, and ultimately disappeared from human ken.As a sailor he was most popular with officers and men, and an anecdote is told of an exploit of his life during the siege of Vera Cruz in a letter he wrote to his mother.A cannon ball made a hole in a house near where he was standing, he immediately placed his head in the hole, and remained thus until the firing ceased, .because he \u201cthought it very unlikely that another shot would come to just that same spot.\u201d He left Boston for Melbourne on board the Hera, and since January 21, 1870, no trace of him has been found.While the Aberdeen family possess many titles, the heir apparent always bears the barionial designation of the race.Lord Haddo has become very popular in Aber- deenshire, as may be judged from the extensive preparations which were made to celebrate his majority.He gives promise of inheriting the great abilities of his race.He is devoted to his sister, Lady Marjorie, who has made such a name for herself in literary circles, and because of her advanced views.Still she Is very domesticated.and has a thorough knowledge of household management\u2014thanks to the judicious methods of her careful and sensible mother.\u2014St.James\u2019 Budget.* > = Victonia, B.C., Nov.14\u2014Empress of China passengers arriving at

employment, caring for them when sick and putting out at all times a protecting hand to shield them from danger and temptation.The calendar for the month is given and the list of classes for every

announced after her visit to Berlin, she (rill likewise become aunt by marriage to tw little lad, who will be one of the richest princes in Europe.It is an open secret that had there been an English prince to come a- wooing Queen Whilhelmina would have cer- : tainly listened to him in preference to a German.She sincerely admires Englishmen, and bas always had a great admiration for her young cousin, the Duke of Albany, who is a thorough English boy in manner and thought; but, unhappily, we have no prince to send to the feet of the young Queen, and she cannot much longer delay the inevitable matrimonial arrangement against which she has so long held out.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ON DRIFTING INTO DOWDINESS \u2014 It is Even Worse to Have a Dowdy- Face Than to Have Dowdy Clothes.Various are the visions wkich are conjured up by the word \u2018\u2018dowdiness.\u201d That vague, indefinite, unattractive appearance, that dowdiness, in short, which sometimes makes all things drab and monotonous, is gencr- ally the mark of a woman who has either been born and bred without that subtle faculty of discrimination between the becoming and the unbecoming, known as\u2019 \u2018\u2018taste,\u201d\u201d or who has had all hope and interest in things sweetly feminine crushed out of her by adverse circumstances or dreary influences.A woman who really has a.\u2018\u2018style\u2019\u2019 about her can never be a æwd, no matter for how long a time she is compelled to wear her gowns.She may have one tithe the money to spend on dress that falls to the lot of her wealthier sister, but she \u2018\u201c\u2018wears her rue with a difference.\u201d Neither dowdiness of apparel nor dowdiness of face is to be tolerated, for the reason that there is no necessity for the existence of either.Whether you are strong minded or weak minded girls, endowed with mental or domestic powers, musical, artistic, scientific, literary or what not, do not let your faces get dowdy.An expensive, fashionable bat may not be always attainable\u2014nor a pretty face\u2014but a becoming hat is cheap and a bright expression costs nothing.Dowdiness of face may be of many kinds\u2014 but is usually confined to two.These are defective, disfigured, blemished skins and defective, disfigured, blemished expressions.Dowdy skins are those which are allowed to drift into a state of uninteresting colorlessness or \u2018\u2018disfiguredness\u2019\u2019 owing to carelessness, indifference or ignorance.A certain bright, clever girl, with a wealth of Titianesque hair, and who is fully alive to the importance of form and color in her gowns and hats, mars the whole effect by having allowed her face to drift into dowdiness through carelessness.Seldom does her skin look ctherwise than dull, muddy and | neglected.This is the result of carelessness, for she knows better.Another girl, who prides herself on \u2018\u2018never doing anything\u2019 to her skin, lets it go from bad to worse, counting blackheads a virtue | | and blotches a grace, because she considers it clever and strong minded to display an ostentatious indiffercnce to her appearance, as far as her skin is concerned.Yet that girl is scrupulously nice about the cut of her tailor-made gown; the dainty cleanliness of hes enllars and cuffs; the fit of her boots and gloves.Yet a third offender, who, with an ignorance of results which would be laughable if it were not destructive, scrubs her face three or four times daily with hard water, the commonest secap and a loofah.These be types of girls whose faces are dowdy because their skins sre neglected or ill treated.pm A WOMAN'S QUESTION, Before I trust my fate to thee, Or place my hand in thine, Before I let thy future give Color and form to mine, Before 1 peril all for thee, Question my soul to-night for thee.I break all slighter bonds, nor feel A shadow of regret; Is there one link within the past That holds thy spirit yet?Or is thy faith as clear and free As that whieh I can pledge to thee?Does there within thy dimmest dream$ A possible future shine, Wherein thy life could henceforth breathe Untouched, unshared by mine?If so, at any pain or cost, Oh tell me before all is lost.Look deeper still, if thou cans't feel Within thine inmost soul That thou hast kept a portion back While I have staked the whole; Let no false pity spare the blow, But in true mercy, tell me so.Is there within thy heart a need ! That mine cannot fuifil, One chord that any other hand Could better wake or still?Speak now, lest at some future day My whole life wither and decay.Lives there within thy nature hid The demon spirit change, Shedding a passing giory still On all things new and strange?It may not be thy fault alone, But shield my heart against thine own, Coulds\u2019t thou withdraw thy hand one day And answer to my claim, That fate, and that to-day's mistake\u2014 Not thou\u2014had been to blame?Some soothe their conscience thus, but thou, Will surely warn and save me now.Et PURCHASING BY DAYLIGHT.At the

Flower.\u201d Or the Love Stcry of CHARLES BRANDON and MARY TUDOR, the King's sister, and happening in the relgn of his august majesty King Henry By EDWIN CASKCDEN (Charles Major).Copyrighted by the Bowen-Merrill Company in 1899, end published for the frst time in Serial form by The Montreal Herald by special arrangement.CHAPTER XIX.Continued.I took this letter to Brandon, along with Mary's miniature\u2014the one that had been painted for Charles of Germany, but had never been given\u2014and a curl of her hair, and It looked as if this was all he would ever possess of her.¢ Longueville heard of Henry's brutal fonsent that Mary might see Brandon, and with a Frenchman\u2019s bekef in woman's depravity, Was excewlingly anxious to keep them apart.To this end he requested that a member of,kis own retinue be placed near Brandon.Ty, this Henry readily consented, and there was ap end to even the letter-writing.Opportunities increase in value doubly fast as they drift behind us, And now that the princess could not see Brandon, Or even write to him, she regretted with her whole soul that she had not gone to the Tower when she had permission, regardless of what any one would say or think.Mary was imperious and impatient, by nature, but upon rare and urgent occasions could employ the very smoothest sont of finesse.Her promise to marry Louis of France had been given under the stress of a fran- tle fear for Brandon.and without the slightest mental reservation, for it was given to save his life, as she would have given her hands or her eyes, her life or her very soul itself: but now that the imminent danger was passed she began to revoive schemes to evade her proniise and save Brandon notwithstanding.She knew that under the present arrangement his life depended upon her marriage, but she had Lever lost faith in her ability to handle the king, if she had but a fittle time In which to operate, and had secretly regretted that she had not.in place of flight, opened up her campaign along the line of feminine diplomacy at the very beginning.Henry Mas a dullard mentally, while Mary\u2019s mind was keen and alert\u2014two facts of which the girl was perfectly aware\u2014 so it was no wonder she had such confidence in herself.When she first heard of Brandon\u2019s sentence her fear for him was so great, and the need for action so urgent.that she could not resort to her usaal methods for turning matters her way, but eagerly applied the first and quickest remedy offered.Now, however, that she had a breathing spell, and time in which to © operate her more slowly moving, but as she thought, equally sure forces of cajolery and persuasion, she determined to marshal the legions of \u2018her wit and carry war into the @nemy\u2019s country at once.Henry\u2019s Drutai selfisuness In forcing upon her the French marriage, together with his cruel condemmation of Brandon, and his vile insinuations against herself, had driven nearly every spark of affection for her brother from her heart.But she felt that she might feign an affection she did not feel, and that what she so wanted would be cheap at the price.Cheap?It would be cheap at the cost of her immortal soul.Cheap?What she wanted was life's condensed sweets\u2014the man she loved: and what she wanted to escape was life\u2019s distilled bitterness\u2014marriage with the man she loathed.None but a pure woman can know the torture of that.I saw this whole disastrous campaign from start to finish.Mary began with a wide flank movement conducted under masked batteries and skillfully executed.She sighed over her troubles and cried a great deal, but told the king he had been such a dear, kind brother to her that she would gladly do anything to please him and advance his interests.She sald it would be torture to live with that old creature, King Louis, but she would do it willingly to help her bandsome brother, no matter how much she might suffer.The King laughed and said: \u2018\u201c\u2018Poor old Louis! What about him?What about his suffering?He thinks he is making such fine bargain, but the Lord pity him, when he has my little sister in hls slide for a thorn.He had \u201cetter employ some energetic soul to prick him with needles and bodkins, f I think there is more power for disturbance in this little body than in any other equal amount of space in all the universe.You will furnish him all the trouble he wants, won't you sister?\u201d \u201cI shall try,\u201d said the princess demurely, perfectly willing to obey in everything.\u201cDevil a doubt of that, and you will succeed too, or my crown\u2019s a stew-pan,\u201d and he laughed .at the huge joke he was about to perpetrate op his poor, old royal brother.It would seem that the tremendous dose of flattery administered by Mary would have been so plainly self-interested as to alarm the dullest perception, but Henry's vanity was so dense, and his appetite for flattery so great, that he accepted it all without suspicion, and it made him quite affable and gracious.Mary kept up her show of affection and docile obedience for a week or two until she thought Henry\u2019s suspiclons were allayed: and then.after having done enough petting and fondling.as.she thought, to start the earth itself a-moving\u2014as some men are foolish enough to say it really does\u2014she began the attack direct by putting her arms about the king\u2019s neck, and piteously begging him not to sacrifice her whole life by sending her to France.Her pathetic soul-charged appeai might have softened the \u2018heart of Caligula himself; but Henry was not even cruel.He was simply an animal so absorbed in himself that he could not feel for others.\u201cOh! It is out at last.\u201d he said with a laugh.\u201cI thought all this sweetness must have been for something.So the lady wants her Brandon and doesn\u2019t want her Louis, yet is willing to obey her dear, kind brother?Well, we'll take her at her word and let her obey.You may as well understand, once and for all, that you are to go to France.You promised to go decently if I would not cut off that fellow\u2019s head.and now I tell you that if I hear another whimper from you off it comes, and you will go to France too.\u201d This brought Mary to terms quickly enough.It touched her one vulnerable spot\u2014her love.\u201cI will go; I promise it again.You shall never hear another word of complaint from me if you give me your royal word that no harm shall come to him\u2014to him,\u201d and she put her hands over her face to conceal her tears as she softly wept.\u201cThe day you sail for France, Brandon shall go free and shall again have his old post at court, I like the fellow as a good companion, and really believe you are more to blame than he.\u201d .\u201cI am all to blame, and am ready this day to pay the penalty.I am at your dis posal to go when and where you choose,\u201d answered Mary most pathetically.Poor, fair Prosperina, with no kind mother Demeter to help her.The ground will soon open, and Pluto will have his bride.That evening Cavendish took me aside and said his master, Wolsey, wished to speak to me privately at a convenient opportunity.So, when the bishop left his card-table, an hour later, I threw myself in his way.He spoke gaily to me, and we walked down the corridor arm in arin.I could not imagine what was wanted, but presently it came out: \u201cMy dear Casko- den;\u201d had I been one for whom he could have had any use I should never have given suspicions.\u201cMy dear Casko- den, I know I can trust you; especially when that which I have to say is for the happiness of your friends.I am sure you will never name me in connection with the suggesticn I am about to make, and will use the thought only as your own.\u201d I did not know what was coming.but gave him the strongest assurance of my trustworthiness.\u201cJt is this: Louis or France is little better than a dead man.King Henry, perhaps, is not fully aware of this, and, if he is, he has never considered the probability of his speedy death.The thought oceur- red to me that although the princess can not dissuade her brother from this marriage, she may be able, in view or ner ready and cheerful compliance, to extract some virtue out of her sore necessity and induce him to promise that, in case of the death of Louis, she herself shall choose ber second husband.\u201d \u201cMy lord,\u201d I replied.quickly grasping the point, \u2018\u2018it is small wonder you rule this land.You have both brain and heart.\u201d To ne Continued.1537 to 1541 St.Catherine St.MONTREAL, Chas.Desjardins & Go.THE LARGEST [FUR HOUSE] | IN THE WORLD, Solicit the Y0onor of a visit to view

piping there was in Ontario a whirlwind of unreasoning abuse of the French-Canadian population.It Jooked as though the Star and its satellites had made a successful appeal to the prejudice of a scction of the people of the other Province, and there is no occasion for wopder if the peonle of Quebec magnified the significance of the outburst.Now, however, that there las leen time for reflection, the sober thought of Ontario is find- Ing expression; the silly and grotesque hy- seria has receded iuto the background and our French fellow-couutrymen have reason to Le grati£ed over the turn things have tulen.For example, there has been a dead sct made upqn Hon.Mr.Tarte by Conservative journals ever since he antered the admiuis- tration.Nobody, not even Mr.Tarte him- Relf, paid much attention to that, as It is the right of Opposition newspapers to critl- cize a minister in charge of a large spending department.But now that this last campaign of vilification has shot its boit there is a reco! and to-day people never particularly Active in politics are writing to the papers commoending Mr.Tarte\u2019s insistence upon a full and free discussion in Parliament of ail matters affecting Canada\u2019s relations to the Enrpire.In this particular, says one correspondent of the Toronto Globe, the view Mr.Tarte now holds will be the view of every sober-minded man six months hence, tev.Dr.Burns, a Canadian of national reputation, a representative Methodist ani cducationist, says he is heartily ashamed of the cowardly treatment to which the French-Canadiarns have been subjected by a section of the Ontario press.Dr.Burns asks his fellow-Canadians to consider what would have been the result supposing the conditions to be reversed and an English minority insulted as the two millions of French in this country have been.\u201cFancy, if you can, a couple of millions of FEnglishmen in a French colony subject to French authority listening quietly to the vilest abuse of old England.Impossible: Then fancy two millions of Englishmen declaring that even in a contest between I'rance and their mother land they would stand loyal to the flag under which they lived.Yet not a I'rench-Canadian has hesi tated to avow his loyalty to the throne of England and his willingness to risk his life for the Empire.\u201d This proposed application of the golden rule, we think we can assure Dr.Burns, is quite beyond the Star, its galaxy and its But there is still a pôsibility of them being brought to their senses on learu- nuclei.ing that their partisan schemes have been scen through at first glance.Dr.Burns continues: \u2018The most humiliating feature of it all Is that men can be found so destitute of real manhood as to stoop to wound the feelings of a race noted for thelr unassuming, unobtrusive, cheerful manner of life and at the same time promptly responsive to every call in defence of their country.But, grant for the moment that Frenchmen or any portion of them were wavering in their at legiance to the throne or hesitating to move for the defence of the Empire, would these professional politicians have us believe that their offensive references to the l\u2019rench leaders or the French race would tend to win them back to allegiance?Preposterous! Such creatures are blissfully in- vocent of any such purpose.Partisan poll- tics .of the most vulgar and repulsive character run through it all and it is so transparent that no amount of drapery could render it respectable to an intelligent o»- server.\u201d No wonder the French-Canadi&w leaders of the Conservative party saw through the thing.At first they were inclined to wish it success and talked exultingly about the chance of \u201ckilling Laurier in Quebec\u201d if he sent the contingent to Africa.But when they heard English Conservatives boasting that there would never again be a French- Canadian Premier of Canada they thought It high time to run for cover, and they began see-sawing in public with commendable energy.There is one good thing about a campaign of vilification.It

CELESTIAL FIREWORKS.Three times in a century this old earth has to undergo a bombardment of meteors, and the final performance for this century is billed for to-night.About a hundred meteors were observed from Montreal last night, and rather more from other points, but to-night, towards midnight, we should have a complete display.These meteor storms have been traced through astronomie literature as far back as the first century, but the first great display to be well recorded took place in 1833.The next was In 1866 and wae witnessed all along the Atlantic seaboard from nine o\u2019clock on the night of November 13 until eight o'clock next morning.An American astronomer estimated the number of meteors seen that night at a quarter of a million, and Sir Robert Ball, who saw the display from England, remarked that \u2018it would be im: possible to say how many thousands of meteors were seen, each one of which was bright enough to have elicited a note of admiration on any ordinary night.\u201d The meteors radiate from the yellow double star Gamina in the constellation Leg, Those nearest this star appear stationary and have very smal! tails, those further away having a tendency to blaze out in long paths.The true Leonlds are™to be distinguished by thelr great swiftness and their greenish or bluish tint.The great Leonid ring of meteors makes one revolution of its enormous elliptical orbit around the sun in thirty-three years, and the earth encounters the \u2018\u2019gem of the ring\u2019 once in that time.The thickest part of the ring is 100,000 miles wide, and the whole is moving at the rate of 44 miles a second, a rate sufiicient to make the opaque pebbles glow with heat when they come into contact with upper atmosphere of the earth.To-night's display should be worth watching.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MR.LATCHFORD'S BLEBCTION.The returns from South Kenfrew indl- cate that Hon.bk.R.Latchford, recently appointed Commissioner of Public Works for Ontario, has been elected by a handsome majority after a contest ingwhich the for all it did a failed to arouse any degree of enthusiasm amongst its following.Conservative Opposliion, great deal of crowing, The ccns!ituency was a perfectly safe one Jor a Liberal candidate, just as safe as Pcterborough, where Mr.Stratton, the other new minister, was allowed to be returned by acclamation.It has never been clearly explained why Mr.Latchford was opposed, and the fact that Mr.Whitney, the Opposition leader, only appeared in the riding on the eve of the election, would seem to_lend color to the statement that the Conservative side of the election was managed by Hon.Peter White, Mr.White has been unfortunate of late in hls selection of fields wherein to fight, and repeated defeats must be rapidly depriving him of any prestige that remained to him after his own defeat in 1596.The election of Mr.Latchford by a substantial majority will no doubt be taken by the new Premier, Hon.George W.Ross, as an indication of favorable public feeling towards his ministry.We may confidently expect an early decision regarding the pending bye-elections, and a session of the Legls- lature that will bear the imprint of the aggressive personality of the new leader of the Liberal party in Ontarlo.Am FATHER MATTHEW'S STORY, The extraordinary story of Father Matthews, telegraphed from Lorenzo Marquez, regarding the surrender of the Irish Fuslil- lers, the Gloucestershire \u2018Regiment and the Mountain Battery, at Nicholson's Nek, is calculated to provoke feelings of anger and humiliation, for true, it is if the statement is impossible - to resist the conclusion that more than one persou has seriously blundered.It will have been ob-, served from the cablegrams that there is a disposition in London to discredit the statement on the ground that it is merely the excited view of a non-combatant who had no knowledge of the true military situation.We are not so sure that the London au- tHhorities are justified in formlng such an opinion; but this much is centain, the whole circumstances attending the surrender will be made the subject of a searching Investigation.England has lost as many men often enough in her numerous wars, but they have invariably fought to the last, and there is no parallel to the actual capture of a British column by an enemy since the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga in October, 1781.The original account of the grave disaster, while far less complete than was to be desired, possibly for the reason that General Sir George White is not a good despatch writer, showed its cause to be tragically simple.The column was surrounded by overwhelming masses of Boers, was eutangled among the hills, was wholly cut off from connection with Ladysmith; was destitute of ammunition, and was, after a desperate attempt to extricate itself, with the bayonet, compelled to surrender.Father Matthews tells us, mowever, that the ammunition was not exhausted, although the guns were gone after the stampede of the mules; that the column would have held out but for the fact that a subordinate officer, acting without \\ instrue- tions, hoisted a flag of truce on his own responsibility, and that no alternative was left but to surrender.adds that he does not know what caused the midnight stampede of the mules.Al accounts agree that this was the incident that led up to the ultimate catastrophe.\u201cA couple of boulders,\u201d said the despatches describing it, \u201cwere rolled from one of the hills with which the country abounds, and The ammunition mules took fright and stam- The stampede spread to the battery mules, which broke loose from their a few shots were fired by the enemy.peded.leaders and got away with practically the whole of the gun equipment.The greater portion of the regimental small arm ammunition was similarly lost.\u201d The stampeding of wel \u2018trained mules is a very unusual occurrence.It calls for further explanation and it is a pity that Father Matthews can throw no light on\u2019 the subject.Mules are constantly employed to carry \u2018mountain guns on nignt marches and in rugged districts in India, each animal being led by the head, as scems to have been thé casé in this instance.Stampeding hardly ever takes place and it Is not easy to see why it should have occurred at Nicholson\u2019s Nek.The leaders presumably were Cape \u2018\u2018boys,\u2019 and this very battery was sald to dlave had trouble with their \u2018boys\u2019 some time ago.It has been suggested that these men and the native guar dians of a number of mules which gtam- peded when grazing some nights previously, may have been tampered with by the Doers or by Boer sympathizers and that the two boulders rolled down the hill were 8 signal.On the other hand, it is highly probable that the native leaders were simply seized with a panic and bolted with their charge.When the column had lost their guns and the reserve ammunition the order was given to \u20acix bayonets, and a hill to the left of the road, up which the column had been marching towards the position assigned to it at Nicholson's Nek, was | occupled with but little opposition and | Father Matthews | \"Mr.! vehicles, his Ste.fortified with such sangars and walls as It was possible to construct.At dawn a skirmishing attack by the enemy began, but It was no} until half-past nine, when the Boers were heavily re-inforced, that two companies of the Gloucesters, who were in an advanced position, had to fall back.[rom that time onwards until their anmunition was spent\u2014so at least we wer led to believe until Father Matthews\u2019 story came to hand\u2014the British held their ground without hope of success or even of escape, unless they were relieved; and the relief never came.\u2018It 18 not easy to understand why this column did not send back for ammunition when the mules bolted, or how they can have been left for some seventeen hours after they had quitted cantonments without apparently even an lguiry as to their whereabouts.Although Sir George White had a large force of excellent cavalry, which has done useful service, no effort was made to employ it to keep touch between the columns of a force operating over a very extended and a very mountainous position.All the troops that had been engaged in the fight: ing on the Sunday night and Monday morning, were back in their quarters before two o'clock on the afternoon of the Monday\u2014an hour before the catastrophe occurred.It was known that something was wrong with the guns, but no steps were taken to ascertain what had become of the two fine regiments that had been sent out.Father Matthews\u2019 story is hopelessly at varlance with the epitome of facts first given.\u2018\u2018Soon after twelve o'clock noon,\u201d says he, \u2018\u2018there was a general cry of cease fire, but our fellows would not stop firing.Major Adye came up and confirmed the order, and then the bugle sounded cease fire.In our locality there was a rumor that a white flag was raised by a young officer, who thought his batch of ten wen were the sole survivors.But we were 900 alive, having started with perhaps 1,000.I think many of the battery men escaped.\u201d Had Father Matthews conveyed to the world the information that there was no surren der until the last vestige of hope was lost, we should have liked it better.The empire would have liked to hear that the regiments acted fn the spirit of Kipling's advice: \u2014 \u201cIf your officer's dead and the sergeants look white, Remember it\u2019s ruin to run from a fight; So take open order, lie down and sit tight, And wait for supports like a soldier.\u201d There is hardly a Briton who would noi rather have heard of their standing to the last man and repeating the heroism of Isandhlwana when the third column of Lord Chelmsford\u2019s force was cut to pleces on the 22nd of January, 1870.That was the night that Lieutenants Chard and Bromhead held Rorke's Drift with 80 men of the old 24th, now the Sixth Wales Bor- derers, against 4,000 victorious Zulus.It remains as incomprehensible as ever why Carlton, knowing that his mountain guns were gone, did not fight his way back to headquarters.He knew that there were no more guns forthcoming because White had taken the whole of the remaining thir- ty-six with his main attack.Instead of extricating himself, as a prudent man would have done, his main idea was to push on to a hill which he may have supposed the Boers would not venture to attack.\u2018The only excuse that one can see for his movement to the position on the hill, when he was apparently gnmolested until dawn, is that he depended upon General White sending the relief that never came.Probably the officers and men of the two lost battalions will feel inclined before the last of the lamentable affair is heard of, to ex claim with Kipling: \u201cNow there ain't no chorus \u2018ere to give, Nor there ain't no band to play; An\u2019 I wish I was dead \u2019fore I done what 1 did, = Or seen what I seed that day.\u201d - 0er THE LAFOREST INVESTIGATION.Yesterday's session of the Water Committee demonstrated once more the race that The Herald's expoflire of the methods pursued in the department Is responsible for much that has been done in the way of better\u2018ng the administration.The City Comptroller, Mr.Dufresne, amended his evidence, given at the last sitting, by inforia- ing the committee that he first became | aware of the practice of chiefs of departments keeping their coachmen at the city\u2019s expense when the statement appeared in The Herald.He was afterwards informed \u201cby a high personage\u2019 that Mr.Lafor- est was not the only one enjoying this perquisite, this conversation taking place about December 10, 1808, the day his report was ready for the committee.In the evidence of Mr.Fallon, also, The Herald played a prominent part, for that officer dates everything relating to the investigation from the time The Herald began to publish ciiticisms of the department.When asked to specify the time when he had been asked by Mr.Laforest to prepare an account of that gentleman's iu debtedness, he remarked that if the committee would tell him when The Herald campaign opened he could approximate the date.So it appears that if The Herald had only been sufficiently considerate not to have said anything about it the account might never have been made up at all.Yesterday's testimony revealed addl- tional liabilities on the part of Mr.Lafor- est in two amounts, one for $655 for the services of his coachman, and another for $300 odd for some tons of bar lead bought in the city\u2019s name and sent to Ste.Agathe, of which no mention had hitherto been made.The subject was not purused at any length yesterday, but will hae to come up at the next session.Another peculiar circumstance lets in a little light upon departmental methods.Dufresne produced ' statements ot charges made against Ald.Laporte, Cleari- hue and Iikers, which were amounts gua:- anteed by these aldermen for the cost of work done on water services to the houses of citizens in their wards.The incident carries very little on its face, but the explanation makes it move inicresting.At the time this work was done Council was not giving the department as much money as the superintendent wanted to spend, and the officials were told to deny all requests for work.A man would come in with the announcement that there had been a break and that his water supply had been cut off.He would be politely told that there was no money to do the work and sent to the superintendent for sympathy.The superintendynt would tell him the same story and advise him to see the representative of his ward.Then when the alderman came uuwu the no money story would De trotted out again, and the alderman had no other alternative than to guarantee the payment if the work was to be done.It was one of the methods taken to Induce the reform a:dermen to relax their grip, and allow more money to be spent.It was durlng such a period of money stringency that Mr.La- forest was using the city treasury to pay for materials used in the construction of his house, his fox cage, hig drvecote, his Agathe water works, and for the wages of ren engaged in those services.THe §g

Convocation Hall of the Diocesan Theological College, last evén- ing, was attended by a large audience.Rev.Principal Hackett presided and introduced a fine programme, which includ- \u2018ed several selections contributed by a chorus of students, Rev.Principal Hackett, Messrs.C.J.Davies, A.K.Irisk, P.J.Illesley, T.B.Holland.W.P.Dunham, J.J.Willis, C.E.Peakins, and H.Whit- Key, and Misses Saunderson and Mary QOKeE.This mission was commenced in the winter of 1894 by Rev.Canon Evans, who cared for the adjoining parish of All Saints.He succeeded in laying the foundation at a cost of $135, and then found that, owing to.the rapid extension of All Saints\u2019 parish, it would be impossible for Him also to colleet funds for and superintend the Amherst Park Mission.Uuder these circumstances, shortly after the death of Rev.Canon §lenderson, he, with the sanction of Bishop \"Bond, handed over charge of the mission to the Students\u2019 Missionary Society of the Diocesan College.Since then, Sunday services have been regularly conducted by the students, and a flourishing Sunday school has been held under the superintendence of Mr.Damas G.Lepage.AMOSEMENTS.Theatre

Weeks ago was found gudity on a sun.iar charge.Liven so recentiy as a fortuight ago sae wis again convicted and fined, and yet she conunued to maintain a disorderiy Bouse.What was the real signibecance of her conduct?She openly would not respect society nor obey the orders of the court.Montrezl, the metropolitan city of Canada, was a witness to-day of luxurious immorality; and was this vice to be respected because carried on by rich persons?Not only was vice encourage din the houses, but a regular trafiic was established, with keen competition and rivalry.To make these places the more attractive, and to bring the greatest number of patrons, theatrical productions were even given there.Cheap music was plentiful, and immoral literature was to be found in abundance.It was, unfortunately, too true, that besides damning the souls of young men, their health was frequently lost, and, in consequence, many lives were wrecked.In the light of these facts, could the court tolerate in that neighborhood the existence of a house which was a menace to the good work of the convent, wherein respectable girls found a safe refuge, and were afforded means to find employment in the city?He had to choose between the two; leave the convent tlLere and abolish the houses of ill-fame in the neighborhood, or have the latter remain unharmed and see the nuns go away.Petition for a light sentence was made on the ground that Madame Villemaire was the proprietrix of the house in which she lived.That was but an argument against the accused.It was clear from that that vice paid amply.Surprise had heen expressed tha ze people were not allowed out on nee they had plenty of monev.It could not he «aid that the court owed these people any consideration whatever.It was a prae-

for the defeuce.The arguments dealt with techniealicies in the charges preferred and the functions of the Mayor.Mr.Stephens remarked that the things alleged in the charge were frivolous in the extreme.The suit had been filed as a rigorous action, but such a distinction was not found in the present code, + and one rule had been laid down for all | actions, Neither were there any objec- | tions as to form laid down in the code; : | And except mm so far as there was shown a prejudice on the other side of the court, this point must be ignored.\u201cThe case is in Progress, eters, ITER

Sunday during the last weeks of the navigation season, so as to help the traffic which usually becomes heavier in the last days of navigation.This season, however, the necessity does not appear to

Sunday for the sake of one or two boats.; TWO SCHOONERS WRECKED.Halifax, N.S., November 14\u2014The schooners Magzie Lynds.from Hillsboro, N.B., for Parrsboro, and Florence Guest, from Corn- | wallis

apprehension is felt among the members of the sporting \u2018fraternity here over Assemblyman Merton E.Lewis\u2019 threat fo introduce in the State Legislature a hil] repealing the Horton law.Ît is generally beliesed that Mr.Lewis purposes doing just what he says he will do, | and that a bitter and determined fight wiil be necessary to save the pugilistic game, if saved it can be.Mr.Lewis is the man who made the unsuccessful attempt to obtain the repeal of the law last year.and be is known to be unalterably opposed to prize fights and glove contests under any regulations whatever.()'Rourke, Brady and others gather some hope from the fact that last year's repealing measure gained secant recognition, and affect to belive that the new measure will receive the same frosty treatment.They say that Assemblyman Tewis is the only member of the legislature who has an axe sharpened for the Horton law, and that he will be unable to rally sufficient support to gain success.Others who have studied the situation more carefullv realize that conditions have changed within the year.The friends of the Horton measure now have Governor IMoozevelt to reckon with, and they realize that he is a man who never knows defeat when le once enters upon a fight.The Legislature is Republican and if the Governor has determined that the ITorton law must be wiped from the statute hooks it is believed that all the \u201cDry Dol lar\u201d Sullivans and an army of O'Rourke's to boot will not be able to save the prize fighting industry from the proceeds of which they have waxed fat in recent years.There is also a feeling that the sporting clement is largely to hlame for the threatened attack upon the law.As is usual, a good thing has been worked beyond the limit.Championship contests 1, \u201cie heavyweight division have called att ition of the public to the fact that the Hor.on law practically provides tinish fistic battles, anda that under itg provisions contests of scvere brutality ean be safely engineered to a conclusion.Public sentiment, which has slum- hered, will, it is feared, awaken, at the beck of Governor Roosevelt, and Mr.Lewis will protest against a law which the publie supposed limited fistic contesgs to twenty- five rounds, hut which in fact does nothing of the sort.The proposed bill is as follows: \u201cA person who within this State engages In.instigates, aids, encourages or does any act to further a contention or fight, without weapons, between two .or niore persogs, or a fight commonly called- a ring or prize fight, elther within or without the State, or who engages in a public or private sparring exhibition, with or without gloves, within the State, at which an admission fee is charged or received, either directly or Indirectly, or who sends or publishes a challenge or acceptance of a challenge for such à contention, exhibition or fight or carrles or trains or assists any person in training you are going to get à new fall or winter overcoat, you certainly ought to pay us a visit\u2014that is if you want to save money.We'd like to take .your measure for one.There is a distinguishing characte: noticeable in our overcoats.They have the

Ald.Gagnon\u2014You have examined these accounts yourself?Witness\u2014Yes.HE COULD NQT SAY, Ald.Gagnon\u2014In July, 1898, you sent in an account showing that the city owed Superintendent Laforest $50.50.What do you make the difference between that and the statement made by you and signed by your- sell showing tnat Mr.Laforest owes the city $2,346.58?Witness\u2014I cannot say.Ald.Gagnon\u2014I want to know if this is the same account.My total of the last account you submitted to the city was $2,346.58.But these figures have been partly scratched out, and the account is charged as $2,335.58?Witness\u2014I do not know whose figures they are, but there is a difference of about $11.The chairman\u2014Now, what is the statement in the book ?Witness\u2014I find that the first account made figainst Superintendent Laforest is $1,675.70, and the other is $2,335.58, or a difference of about $659.Ald.Gagnon\u2014How is it that in the account of June 30th, 1898, in this book there Is about $225 charged for men\u2019s wages who had worked for Superintendent Laforest, and that in the account sent in for the consideration of the Mayor the sum is set down as $801.96, or a difference of nearly $600?Witness did not reply, and the chairman told him he should like to know how he accounted for the statement in the letter copying book charging against Superintendent Laforest $1,675.70, while in his statement broduced to Mr.Dufresne the sum was set down as $2,346.58.ACCOUNTING FOR DISCREPANCY.I will explain it in this way.The superintendent told me to immediately prepare an account of what he owed the department.That was about June, 1898.I had to examine the time books for over two years, and that meant abcut nearly 1,000 days\u2019 time of 150 men, before I could prepare that statement.And that is how I account for mak- Ing a discrepancy between the first and the Ter au qu, The second being prepared , an e first prior to thi - tiny of the books.P 5 carefal seru , Ald.Gagnon\u2014! want to find out how it Is in the June account to the committee you put A sum of $225 as due, while in that to the City Comptroller you show $800 due: a difference of nearly $600.\u2019 , Witness\u2014When I had time to go through the books more carefully, of course I found the difference, but I did not think it was that amount.Ald.Gagnon\u2014Did there ever exist for a Specified time, or generally, an agreement that it was not necessary to enter into the books material delivered to Mr.Laforest?Witness\u2014No.Ald.Gagnon\u2014Is there not rather a large amount of goods and materials delivered to Superintendent Laforest which does not appear in Mr.Laforest\u2019s account?Witness\u2014No.Ald.Gagnon\u2014Are you sure the prices charged to Mr.Laforest\u2019s account are the prices charged to the city, or have you nrade prices in a general way?MADE PRICES OUT FROM MEMORY.Witness\u2014When I made the superintendent\u2019s account out the first time I inserted the prices for the materlals merely from memory.Ald.Gagnon\u2014From memory ! What do you mean?Witness\u2014Yes, because it was nearly al the same class of goods that was used\u2014 lead, pipe, iron and so on.The chairman produced the accounts \u2018against Superintendent Laforest and addressing the witness, informed him that his last statement was absolutely at variance with the apparent facts, because there were eight or ten pages of items, comprising any number of different materials\u2014 not only lead and iron piping.but rubber boots, paints, bags, bolts, nails, washers, and so on.'

The Court then adjourned tu permit this being done.rt LADY TYPEWRITERS, We would like to have you call ip yo.day and get some nice cakes, a cup oy gooa tea or coffee, at our place, for 10 cents, and which will be given to the comptroller, | \"ing wild geese, duck, brant, and other fowl 133 St.Peter Street is the address, Weisi 133 St.Peter Street.)

Messrs, Laurence and the unknown playwright.Also the Russian ariny is composed of two men, and the Russian correspondent of the London Times always wears a full-skirted frock coat lined with lavender silk at hich court functions in St.Petersburg.In fairness to the author no farther criticism of the play itself should be attempted.One evidently nevës to be a Russiau to uuder- stand the why and wherefore of what\u2019 happens.The company is likewise Russian throughout, which makes it impossible to allege Inconsistency.The leading man, Mr.E.G.Laurence, Is least inenherent when ne acts with his eyes and through them the fury of the untamed Slav is ever visible.In this country the stage settings are not made of asbestos, and unless Mr.Laurence Is very careful he will sooner or later set fire to the scenery with one of his glances and be arrested for arson.English, of course, is a difficult language to acquire, but mastieating it before utterance does not improve matters, and we prefer to hear our heroes hurl noble sentiments at the gallery without showing in their countenances the agony of the effort.A few other points suggest themselves as strikingly illustrating the difference between the Russian and the English schools of acting.We are not accustomed to villains who talk like hollow, vain barrels because there are no actors on the American stage who can talk that way or who wou d If they could\u2014at least no actors who come to Montreal.The sensation is very similar to that one experiences in hearing the vaudeville gentleman who imitates cows and other animals with an extreme fidelity to rature\u2014a mixture of wonder at his being ahle to do it and surprise at his wishing to.The Englishmen we know\u2014but then what would a Russian know about the ways of an English gentleman.It would he pcssible to go on for many columns with further contrasts, for the subject is practically inexhaustible, but, while the subject is interesting from a so ciological standpoint, it is one which lies rather within the province of psychological | journals than daily papers.Tt is with considerable relief that one reads on the programmes the announcement of Blanche Walsh's coming next week, and then is added satisfaction in the thought that, while Montreal is enjoying her productions, some other city will be wondering what the Russian for Edwin Gordon Lanrence \u2018 ts and the real reason of \u2018For Her Sake.\u201d THE THEATRE FRANCAIS.The Francais keeps up the standard it set for itself long ago by giving good, wholesome entertainment at a minimum price.It is difficult to see how it can al be made to pay.but it is not likely that second part have already Leen published in \u2018The Herald.THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.Judging by the arrangements already made, the concerts this season will certain- lv surpass anything attempted heretofore.The orchestra will be strengthened by the engagement of two harpists, a very ime portant acquisition.At the first concert will be heard Mrs.Charles Crowley, a brilliant soprano, who has already been heard in this city with great success.Later will be heard the three sleters Regina from Paris, harpists of very decided merit.Mr.Birks and Mr.Renaud, a pianist.Mr.Goulet has great hopes of bringing to a successful issue the engagement of his teacher, Mr.Ovide Musin, the great violinist, and will shortly leave for New York to engage artists to appear at his concerts.* * * Blanche Walsh and Melbmrne MacDowell will be seen at the Academy next week in Sardow\u2019s \u201cLa Tosea,\u201d \u201cGismonda\u201d and \u201cFedora.\u201d The plays will he mounted in a style unexceptionally magnificent.The company is very strong, and it goes without saving that the stage pictures and em.hellishments down to the smallest detail, will be as complete as nossible.Mr.Mae: Dowell will be seen in Dis original characters.Miss Waleh will appear in the characterization of the lady of the titles, Of the plays, nothing more can he said but that they are the \u201cest efforts of that great French playwright, Vietarien Sardou, has given to the public, Sale of scats begins on Thursday

Old Country.it would last season after season if it did not.The management certainly deserves success.This week a rather interesting western drama entitled \u201cForgiven\u201d is being produced with much credit to the stock company.The play was one of the Fran- cais\u2019 early pleces, but its repetition was quite in place.It is the old story of love, a false friend, retribution and final happiness.Mr.Henderson's work as Jack Diamond is very commendable, especially in the finale of the second act.Mr.Honder- son is always better in serious situations than as the laughing lovesick husband Miss Byron is charming as ever; Mr.Mec Grane and Mr.Webber were quite up te Mr.Summer's Popham lacked force.Among the vaudevillians Thurston may be given great praise for his wonderful card manipulations.Tom Peas ley is nnt a distinet success as a comedian.The Leonards\u2019 performance is most enjoyable.Miss Leonard\u2019s bag-punching is above the average, and it delighted the large audience present last evening.* - * \u201cA Man vf Mystery,\u201d which opened at the Theatre Royal yesterday afternoon, Is one of the best attractions that house has had for a number of years.The plot deals with a burglary in which the dread power of hypnotism is used to make a man open his own safe.Richard Glenwood.the \u201cShadow.\u201d who leads a double life.is caught In the act of opening his uncle's safe.Nonplussed for a moment, he re covers himself, and with a few \u2018passes\u2019 puts his uncle under hypnotic inflngnce and makes him open the safe.The company presenting the play is a first-class one.During the first and second acts ser- eral good specialties are introduced.The Royal was crowded at both performances yesterday, and \u201cA Man of Mystery\u201d is sure to draw large audiences all week.* * * Trerything points to a great success for the minstrel performance at Her Majesty's Theatre on the 30th inst.and two following days.To-morrow evening the first dress
