in existence which might be evoked to bring to justice men who have filled their own pockets at the city\u2019s expense, but the time, cost and inconvenience of enforcing the laws, especially when private individuals have to put the machinery in motion, prevent justice being done.If all that is left to honest and maltreated citizens is to drive unworthy representatives out of public life, there ought to be no hesitation ir administering this very mild form of punishment.\u2014\u2014fpr== There seems to be some unnecessary warmth of feeling, if not slight bitterness, over the election of one or two of the officers of the Board ef Trade.The need for this iz not apparent to the majority of the members, as there can be little to object to in either of the nominations and very much to be said in favor of both.There have been complaints that the supporters of one of the candidates have issued tickets headed with the names of the chief officers, who, having already been elected by acclamation, do not need to be placed on tickets, and that therefore their names are put forward in order to carry the election of the ticket to which they are attached.As we have before us the two tickets, and both are headed with the names of the leading officers, we do not see that either party has cause for complaint.The names of some of the most active partisans of each of the candidates for the treasurership are to be found on the ticket of the opposing party.There is a touch of humor, and even fun, in this, which, we hope, will affect all of both parties.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Anything moore brutalizing than the long accounts containing sickening details of the savagery of the low and vicious scoundrels who fight like wild beasts it is hard to conceive, yet reputable newspapers received into respectable families and specially patronized by religious bodies and great institutions, publish four or five columns of nauseating description for the delectation of their readers.Far more space is given to this vicious, illegal display of mere ani- malism than would be given to the manifestation for the same length of time of the highest powers of the intellect.TLere can be no doubt as to where the sympathies of those who take part in and encourage such brutality are ; they are with the vicious, the immoral and the lawless.2 THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.The bank statement for December comes to hand almost too late for extended consideration this week, and we will note merely its salient features.There is a decrease of $702,000 in the note circulation, which shows a decline of $1,776,000 compared with the notes outstanding in December, 1892.Public deposits payable on demand show a falling off of $332,000 since November, and à decline of about $6,000,000 as compared with the situation twelve months before.Public deposits payable after notice show an exceptionally good increase for the month, the figures being $104,414,000 for November, against $107,885,000 for December.Compared with a year ago, however, the advance is not up to the mark, being only $6,300,000, whereas it .changed at three percent.The indebtedness of Canadian banke in the United Kingdom is about the same as it was in December, 1832, but shows a decline of not far from $300,000 compared with November.Turning to the other side of the account, we find a noteworthy increase of nearly a million in specie during the twelve months, and over a million in Dominion notes.The increase in these items since November last is, however, not large, not exceeding $300,000, although were this increase well proportioned among the banks it would be very satisfactory, in view of the curtailment of circulation and changes in other items.The increase of over $1,200,000 in notes and cheques of other banks indicates that circulating notes were still 2.returning for redemiption as the month closed.Thé increasing quietude which prevailed in Canada during December naturally led to the investraent of larger amounts in centres where money was required, and the banks show an increase of $2.000,000 in their foreign loans.Great Britain also shows as a debtor to the added extent of about $1,300,000.A slight but unimportant contraction in call loans may be noted, the change since December, 1892, \u2018being, however, very marked.The figures are now $14,236,000, against $19,957,000 a year ago.The decrease in commercial activity has resulted in the curtailment of discounts during the month to the extent of about $1,700,000, without any appreciable addition to the volume of overdue debts.- Taking the statement all in alt, it is a satisfactory one, indicating a conservative policy, and while not revealing any very encouraging advance in earnings by the country during the past year, it shows that the note of caution early sounded has been heard and heeded.As matters now stand, Canada seems prepared to take advantage of any improvement in business or to face any trouble that may arise.The local money market continues easy at from five to five and a half for call and short loans on good collaterals and six to seven percent for commercial paper.But for the return of the bank note circulation for redemption during the month in consequence of the quiet state of trade, money would no doubt have been still easier.The failure of the private banking house of Andrew Somer- ville, of Huntingdon, P.Q., following within a year that of R.G.Meikle, of Lachute, closes disastrously the two most important private banking establishments in this province.The last named had over $80,000 on deposit, and so far has paid only one dividend of fifteen per-) cent, with the prospect of an additionald.ten or twelve cents as a final dividend.pan | In this case.there were me rediscounts, and only some $2,000, borrowed from a bank, But never used, Mr.Meikle having apparently made an abandonment of his estate when he felt that the struggle was hopeless.In the case of Mr.Somerville, there is a large amount of rediscounted paper, which swells his liabilities to.over $160,000, with nominal assets of $180,000, but as over $110,000 of the assets consist in his interest in a foundry and organ factory, the prospects of a substantial or speedy dividend are not cheering.At the time of the Meikle failure the \u2018Witness\u2019 called attention to the almost hopeless task of private bankers in attempting to compete with the agencies of the chartered banks, and had our Huntingdon readers listened to our warning some of them would have saved their hard-earned money.As both these unfortunate bankers were mer of very high character and frugal habits, their failure should be a warning particularly to people living in the country to put their savings in chartered banks or the Government savings banks.If they will consider for a moment that the country agency of a chartered bank has a circulation of at least forty thousand dollars, twenty thousand dollars current deposits without interest, and probably sixty to eighty thousand dollars at three and a half percent interest, while the private banker has no circulation, little or no daposits without interest, and is.paying five percent on nearly all his deposits, and seven percent when.he borrows from the banks, they will see that a private banker, in competition with a chartered bank in country places, unless lending his own money, is so placed that his failure is in most cases only a matter of time.Turning from the country to recent failures in this city, it is to be hoped that the lesson taught by the two most important of these will not be forgotten.The mania to speculate In real estate, which has ruined so many in Toronto, seems, in a modified form, to have reached our city, and is beginning to bear similar fruit.The banks are probably the greatest instruments for good or evil in this connection, and will, without doubt, be held largely responsible, should this mania assume larger proportions.The Clearing House returns for the past week are as follows : Clearings.Balances Total for week ending Jan.25, 1894.$ 9,777,180 $1,444,576 Cor.week of 1883.10,727,108

BET\u2014MISS VELLA ON WORK AMONG THE LITTLE ONES.Sherbrooke, Que., Jan.26.\u2014Yesterday afternoon's session of the Quebec Sabbath School convention was well attended.Mr.W.K.Gaffity, Montreal, made à capital address on \u2018Sunday-school mar- agement in city schools He brought out several good points bearing on the school room, order and unity, the overcrowding of classes, adaptation of teachers to scholars and the proper way of dismissing schools.He was followed by Mr.O.M.Moulton, who spoke for a short time on \u2018Home classes.\" He showed that the forming of home classes was a very important branch of the work, and could be made very helpful to families who did not have access to regular Sunday-schools.Mr.D.Torrance Fraser followed briefly upon the same subject.Mr.Buchanan, president of the executive, made a very spirited address on the growth of the Sunday-school and showed the great influence for good it was spreading throughout the whole world.A few minutes were allowed at the close of this address for the dis- eussion of the subjects previously brought before the meeting and several of the prominent workers fully occupied the time.Then the Rev.D.Kellock, Ph.D.of Richmond, ascended the pulpit, and de- Hvered an eloquent address on \u201cThe | teacher's opportunity.\u2019 He held that next to the father and mother of the child came the Sunday-school teacher, and his responsibility was very great.At four p'clock, the speaker of the convention, the Rev.F.N.Peloubet, D.D., Auburndale Mass., proceeded with his address cn \u2018How can business their Sunday-school lessons.\u2019 They might as well try to bombard Gibraltar with unioaded guns as to try to teach a Sunday-school without preparation.Busy people can usually make the best teachers as they need a change, and can find time if they will, to make preparation.Here followed a\u2018 plan of preparation.In order to save time it is well to begin by reading the lesson, ,and get the general context in your mind at the beginning of the week.Always use your lesson for your devotional work, and when your whole \u2018heart and spirit is in the lesson you can teach it better.The geography of \u2018the lesson was very valuable.He could not read a book without a map.Tse every help you can get.If one does not think with helps he certainly will not think without them.It is our business to stand upon other peoples\u2019 shoulders.and always be ready to accept what -help we can get.It is a good plan to prepare the lesson in such a way as to .get the scholar to help.He himself taught a class of sixteen boys, and he found it a good system._At the close of the address the chair- extended a hearty invitation to -all delegates to remain and partake of \u201cthe hospitality of the Sherbrooke Sun- \u2018day-school \u2018teachers, who were prepar- \u2018ing a supper in the basement of the church.The Question Drawer was conducted by Dr.Peloubet, and many questions of general interest were satisfactorily answered, and considerable light thrown on doubtful matters.THE EVENING SESSION was prefaced by a short praise service, ied by the choir, and devotional exercises conducted by the Rev.N.Wad- dell, Lachute, The weather being excellent, the church was filled to the doors with the good peopie of Sherbrooke and their guests.The second interim report of the nominating committee was read by the Rev.Mr.Bolton, nominating the following names as the convention committee on resolutions: Mr.8.P.Leet, Mr.G.H.Lighthall, Dr.J.A.Porter.Mr.L.J.Hughes, Capt.W.Warne, Miss Atwater and Miss Sanborn.Miss B.Vella was called upon for her address on \u2018Work for God's little ones.\u2019 She dwelt upon a child's characteristics of which we may make use, such as curiosity, Illustrations can be made from articles of the mineral, animal and vegetable kingdoms which wlll excite the ¢hild\u2019s curiosity.Miss Vella evidently has a wonderful memory.She recited several pieces with morals on the imaginations of the little ones.Upon a blackboard she drew several figures, illustrating her remarks and this part of her address was particularly interesting.She recommended that the child be taught many of the promises which makes the parent's life so happy, and many little prayers and petitions.Teach them the doctrine of everlasting life, | the truth of prayer enforced by Scripture.The child needs models rather than critics.We know that the child is modest but ever anxious to learn and they must have good models.As in the morning Miss Vella held the undivided attention of the audience for three-quar- \u2018ters of an hour.The Rev.S.D.Chown, B.D., Montreal, was calied upon for an address on \u2018The Bible, the Modern University,\u201d (by request.) Mr.Chown quite captivated the audience by his commamding figure and eloquence.He vividly pictured each book of the Bible likening them to the modern university and made a most interesting story.The next igm upon the programme was the second address of Dr.Peloubet, who, when called upon, owing to the lateness of the hour, wished to be excused, but the audience would not hear of it, and he was obliged to take the platform.His subject was \u2018The Front Idne in BSunday-school Work.\u2019 He minutely described the splendid equipment of the Sunday-school in his native city, and told how much easier it was to teach with improved appilances The ideal Sunday-school was that one that made a persistent strong and continual effort to bring everybody to Sun- day-school.Make the school attractive and bright so that you may have something worth bringing them to.The model class is the one that takes in the people who need the training the most and trains them up.It has been eaid that a big class is a big failure, but such fs not the case az the more you can: bring in the more opportunities you TUNE a me i a pren De sm ne = NA, a have for the work.Take the common a vire Cpe mer and bus w ; y omen best prepare nalls notice that you place the protec- : figure them by the shining Gospel of Christ.The session was closed bv the benediction by the Rev.Mr.Reid.me ert: fp ir AN ACROSTIC.BY s.W.Suggested by hearing the Rev.John H.Hector say that God will soon raise up a Moses to deliver the people of Canada from the accursed slavery of legalized liquor traffic.And the Lord said.I have surely seen the affliction of my people, and have heard their groaning, and am come to deliver them.\u2014 Exodus, chap.3.Just let him be the Moses he of here to-night, Our God could choose none braver, to champion freedom\u2019s right.He grandly pleads for liberty, for al! enslaved by drink, Now bravely throws the life line, those about to sink.speaks for He is a very Moses, so strong, so true and brave, His very life he'd peril to face the fettered slave.Earth soon would be an ®den, were his high hopes attained: Christ's kingdom be established, where Satan long has reigned.Then let each brave one help him, to strike for God and right; the tyrant\u2019's might.Rise, Christians, rise in majesty, victory crowns this fight.Fraser Hall, Sunday evening, Jan.21, 1894, till \u2014_\u2014\u2014-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE ENORMOUS NAIL DUTIES.PERCENT PROTECTION.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness:\u2019) Sir,\u2014I read your editorial on combines in Saturday's issue, and with regard to the duties on cut and wire 111 TO 137 | tive duties at far too low a figure.If | you will examine the price lists of \u2018Iron Age\u2019 for January, 189, both of which are to be seen in the Mechanics\u2019 Institute, you will find that at the mills car load lots are sold in New York, Chicago and Pittsburg for 90c for cut nails and $1.10 for wire nalls Now, as you say.in your article, the duty on the former is 32 percent and on the latter 40 percent the duty would be 28.8 cents for the cut nails and #4 cents for the wire nails, which, I think, ought to be protection enough.But as I find by the tariff, cut nails are charged §1 and wire nails $1.50 per hundred pounds, the duties, to be exact on the above basis of prices quoted, would be 1111-9 percent on cut nails and on wire nails 136 10-11 percent.If I have made any mistake I would like to be corrected by you or by some manufacturer.By the same authorities [I think the duty on barbed wire is about 76 percent.All the above duties\u201d are prohibitory.Cut nails in Montreal are $2.25.Two years ago cut nails were selling in New York for $1.40 and in Montreal for $1.90.Prices in New York have\u2018fallen 50 cents and advanced 35 cents here.There was no combine here then.The difference now between prices here and in the United States, after paying the duty, would be used up in freight from Pittsburg, the great manufacturing centre.The whole of the $1 and §1.50 duty goes Into the manufacturers\u2019 pockets, less a duty of $2 per ton on a small proportion of the scrap iron imported for their manufacture.What will the Government do\u2014re- duce the extortionate duty or trust to the nail manufacturers for a big barrel at the next elections?TARIFF REFORMER.Jan.24, 1894.TORONTO CIVIC AFFAIRS.(From Our Own Correspondent.)

themselves in quite a stream of fashionable folk, who, according to their way, \u2018were somewhat tardy in taking thelr places.There was a larger pro- pdrtion of ladies present than is at all usual and the bright and rich colors which this season mark their wraps together with their variety, made the audience hall quite a gay scene.The Fraulein Aus der Ohe is a favorite in Montreal, and as soon as she made her appearance in her pretty white dress it was easily seen from the warm wel!- come she received that former friends had gatbered expecting a great treat.Nor were they disappointed.The unanimous verdict was that her powers hud inoreased.He: rapidity and accuracy of \u2018touch, her delicate but decisive fingering and her arm strength extraordinary in a woman were remarked upon generally.The programme was largely classical, but In Techatkowsky's \u2018Vamnlations\u2019' and Liszt's Rhapsodie Hon- AUS of her powers as a virtuosi.The enthu- slasm of the audience, which mas great, increased as the evening went on and took perhaps rather an exacting form of expression.those who enjoyed the recital last night are indebted for arranging it, and those who missed it as well a8 many who did rot, will be pleased to learn that owing to seme hitch which will deprive Ottawa of a musical treat, another recital will be given in the Amembly Halil of the High School to-morrow afternoon.In defence of the health of the music loving people of this city it ought to be said that the Windsor Hall was shame- foily draughty and uncomfortable at least in certain parts of it last night.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014e A CERTIORARI MAINTAINED.NO EXISTING BY-LAW TO TAX BILLIARD TABLES.Judge Pagnuelo rendered judgment, this morning, on the petition of Theo- time Lanctot for a writ of certiorari against the decision of the Recorder condemning him to pay a fine for not paying the municipal tax on billiard tables.The certiorari was maintained and the fine declared illegal, on the following grounds: \u2014Inp 1839 a special statute was passed authorizing the levying of a Governmet tax on billiard tables and abolishing the municipal tax on the same.A few months after an amendment to the city charter again empowered the city of Montreal to collect a billiard tax.On the strength of this amendment the present proceedings were taken against Lanctot, under the cld by-law.But the by-law having been revoked by the statute of 188%, no tax can be levied thereunder, and the authorization once more given the city to collect a billiard tax, requires a new by-law to be passed for that purpose, which has not yet been done.afer._ THE LEONARD CASE.IT IS ADJOURNED OWING TO THE DOCTOR'S ABSENCE.: The enquete in the case of Dr.~James A.R.Leonard, accusel of manslaughter, was arranged to open at 10 o'clock this morning.Everybody and everything was in readiness at that hour except the accused, A telephone message to the doctor s reaidence elicited the fact that he had left home to go to the Court House.The nom-appearance of the doctor gave rise to many surmises.The case was calied three times.absentee in such a case would forfeit .his bail.Mr.Dupuis, the lawyer for the defence, could only account for his clt- ent\u2019s absetice on the supposition that he had been called to attend a patient end detained.The Court allowed the en- quete to stand over till Monday doing nothing in the matter of bail.pe HIGHWAY ROBBERY.A serious case of highway robbery took place between Dorval and Lachine on Wednesday night.Andre Verdon, a driver for Messrs.Dufresne & Monge-

and what's more, she must, with the most deliberate cruelty, have kept the knowledge of her safety from poor Bates all these months.\u2019 \u2018Stay, stay !\u201d cried Sophia, for his voice had grown so full of anger against the girl that he could hardly pour out the tale of her guilt fast enough.\u2018Where did you meet her ?What was she like ?.\u2018I met her ten minutes ago, walking on this road.She was a great big buxom girl, with a white face and red hair ; perhaps people might call her handsome.I pulled up and stared at her, but she went on ag if she didn't see me.Now, I'm going in to tell Bates, and then I shall go back and bring her to book.I don\u2019t know what she may be up to in Chellaston, but she must be found.\u2019 \u2018Many people do think her handsome, Mr.Trenholme,\u2019 said Sophia, for she knew now who it was ; \u2018and she is certainly not\u2014the sort of\u2014' \u2018Do you mean to say you know her ?\u2018Yes, I know her quite well.I had something to, do with bringing her to Chellaston.I never knew.till this moment that she was the girl you and Mr.Bates have been secking, and indeed\u2014' Bhe stopped confused, for, although it had grin on her Bi the first time that what she kne story.with his: \u2018Story she\" Hoar Ain A talied all match, and then\u2019 she pe that no doubt it was in the Harmon house that Eliza had so faithfully sought the letters now in her own hand.\u2018Really,\u2019 she continued, \u2018vou mustn't go to work with this girl in the summary manner you suggest.I know her too well to think anything could be gained by that.She is, in a sense, a friend of mine.\u2019 \u2018Don't say she is a friend of yours\u2014 dont\" he said, with almost disgust in his tone.They had halted in the lané just outside the yard gate, and now he put down the pail and turned his back on the still shut gate to speak with more freedom.As he talked, the brisk air dashed about the boughs of the spindling lilac hedge.shaking slant sunbeams upon the unpainted gate and upon the young man and woman in front of it.Then, but in a way that was graphic because of strong feeling, Alec Tren- bolme told the more real part of the | story which he had outlined the night before ; told of the melancholy solitude in which Bates had been left with the helpless old woman in a house that was bewitched in the eyes of all, so that no Servant or laborer would come near it.In talk that was a loose mosaic of detail and generalization, he told of the woman's work to which the proud Scotchman had been reduced in care of the aunt who in his infancy had cared for | | him, and how he strove to keep the house tidy for her because she fretted when she saw housework ill-done.He explained that Bates would have been re- | duced to hard straits for want of the yearly income from his lumber had not he himself \u2018chanced\u2019 to go and help him.He sald that Bates had gone through al! this without complaint, without even counting it hard, because of the grief he counted so much worse\u2014the loss of the girl, and the belief that she had perished.because of his unkindness.\u2018For he \u2018loved her, Miss Rexford.He Had never had anyone else to care for, and he had just centred his whole heart on her.Hae cared for her as if she bad been his daughter and sister, and\u2014and he cared for her in another way that was more than all.It was a lonely enough place ; no one could blame a woman for wanting to leave it ; but to leave a man to think her dead when he loved her !\u2019 Sophia was touched by the story and \u2018ouched nearly also by the heart of the man who told it, for in such telling the hearts of speaker and listener beat usalnst one another through a finer medium than that which we call space.But just because she was touched it , as characteristic in her to find a point sat she could assail.OT don\u2019t see that a woman is specially holden to a man because he loves her against her will.\u2019 + 1e Do you mean to say'\u2014flercely\u2014\u2018that | 5e was not beholden to him because he taught her everything she knew, and \u201cas willing to work to support her \u201d \u2018Yes, certainly, she was under obliga- rion for all his kindness, but his being In love with her\u2014that is different.\u2019 But Alec Trenholme, like many people, \u201could not see a fine point in the heat nt discussion.Afterwards, on reflec- ion, he saw what she had meant, but ow he only acted in the most unreasonable of ways.\u2018Well, I don't see it as you do,\u2019 he said ; and then, the picture of suppressed |dignation, he took up the pall to go Inside and dispose of it.I don't know how it can all be,\u2019 said | Sophia, considering, \u2018but I'm sure there's a great deal of good in her\u2019 At this, further silence, even out of deference to her, seemed to him inadequate.\u2018T don\u2019t pretend to know how it can be ; how she got here, or what she has been doing here, dressed in silk finery, or what she may have been masquerading with matches in the old house over there for.All I know is, a girl who treated Bates as she did\u2014\u2019 \u2018No, you don't know any of these things.You have only heard one side of the story.It is not fair to judge.\u2019 \u2018She has ruined his life, done as good as killed him.Why should you take her part ?\u2018Because there are always two sides to everything.I don\u2019t know much of her story, but I have heard some of it, and it didn\u2019t sound like what you have said.As to her being in the Harmon house\u2014\u2019 Sophia stopped.\u2018Do you mean to say,\u2019 asked Alec, \u2018that she has been living here all the time quite openly 7\u2019 \u2018Yes\u2014that is, she has given a false name, it seems, but, Mr.Trenholme\u2014' \u2018If she has lied about her name, depend upon it she has lied about everything else.I wouldn't want you to go within ten feet of her.\u2019 Although the fallacy of such argument as Alec's too often remains undetected when no stubborn fact arises to support justice, Sophia, with her knowledge of Eliza, could not fail to see the absurdity o.it.Her mind was dismayed at the thought of what the girl had apparently done and concealed, but nothing could make her doubt that the Eliza she know was different from the Sissy Cameron he was depicting.She did not doubt, either, that if anything would bring out all the worst in her and make her a thousand times mope unkind to Bates, it would be the attack Alec Trenbolme meditated.She decided that she ought herself to act as go-batween.She remembered the scorn with which the patronage of a vulgar woman had that evening been discarded, and whether Eliza herself knew it or not, Sophia knew that this nicety of taste was due chiefly to her own \u2018influence.The subtle flattery cof this pleaded with her now on the girl\u2019s behalf ; and perceiving that Alec Trenholme was not amenable to reason, she, like a good woman, condescended to coax him for reason\u2019s sake.To a woman the art of managing men is much like the-art of skating or swimming, however long it may le in disuse, the trick, once learned, is there to command.The milk, it seemed, must be taken down the \u2018cellar steps and poured \u2018into pans.Then a draught of milk off the ice was given to him.Then, it appeared, she must return to the pasture, and on their*-way she pointed out the flowers that she had planted, and let him break one that he admired, \u2018When they reached the field Sophla proffered her request, which was that he would leave his discovery in her hands for one day, for one day only, she pleaded.She added that he might come to see her the next afternoon, and she would tell him what explanation Eliza had to give, and in what mood she would meet her unfortunate guardian.And Sophia's request was granted, giance and entire doecility, with a tendet- ness.of eye and lightsomeness of demeanor, that made her: perceive that.this young man.had 46% been sr , 044, he appedred, and that \u2018her Ports.+4 appease him had been out of proportion to what was required.When he mounted his horse and rode off unmindfa] of the last pail of milk, for indeed his head was a little turned, Sophia was left standing by the pasture gate feeling unpleasantly conscious of her own handsome face and accomplished manner.If she felt amused that he should show himself so susceptible, she also felt ashamed, she hardly knew why.She remembered that in his eyes on a previous occasion which she had taken as a signal for alarm on her part, and wordered why she had not remembered it scoper.The thing was done now: she had petted and cajoled him, and she felt no doubt that masculine conceit would render him blind to her true motive.Henceforth he would suppose that shé encouraged his fancy.Sophia, who liked to have all things her own way, felt discopceried.(To be continued.)

received by the \u2018Witness\u2019 from people who have been robbed in gambling dens.One letter received ts from @ business man who regrets the day that he ever took \u2018a card in his hand.From the tone of his letter he must have suffered much and is anxious to save young men from following his example.An expression of opinion on gambling from such a source is Interesting and certainly should bear weight.He, says, \u2018All honor to the \u2018Witness's\u2019 determination to close the gambling hells of Montreal.They have been the bane and curse of many a man\u2019s life and the cause of untold misery to hundreds of mothers and wives.As an old reader of the \u201cWitness\u2019 and one who has seen considerable of the world I am deeply.interested in your crusade.\u201d He then goes \u2018on to show how he has gambled in many public and private places in Moi treal, and concludes by showing.that the honest player is sure to lobe while the thievish' keeper and his assistants pocket money that is as truly: stolen as if it were taken by force from: the pockets of their vietims.The latitude allowed.the arch gambler, Andy Maloney, and his heartless crew, has had a bad.effect in the city.An officer of the Government and a gentleman well informed on such matters, & few days ago, speaking about gambling in Montreal, said.\u2018During the past year gambling hells have increased with amazing rapidity, and I think it is largely due to the way Ma- loney and such brazen gamblers laugh at and defy the law.\u2019 .; From information secured by the \u2018Witness,\u2019 there cart be no doubt that the gambling craze is becoming more marked, as is shown by the enormous number of so-called private gambling dens in the city.From Investigations made one fact has been brought clearly out, ard that ia, that Maloney and His cKque are much worse than they have been painted; for not only are they openly and defiantly running the gambling place on St.James street, but they are interested in a score of private places; 80 that if a man happens to escape being fleeced in one place he is taken to another by a \u2018friend.\u2019 So it matters not \u2018 to Maloney and his worthies, whether a mah is fleeced in the St James street divo or not, as part of the proceeds reach \u2018their pocket anyway.- Without doubt Maloney is the bicated stockholder and .schemer, and admired among.his confreres as the prince of gamblers.- -piace in Chicago, St.Louis, New Or- .] room ig partitioned off into what may be : | tance, 3-4 of THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.RR pr circles, and who has been atrested more than once for shady transactions.All the police Know this man and his resort, yet he is not interfered with, Two Hebrews are employed in this resort and are very useful men to the notorious keeper.The place is fitted up in such a manner that no one at first would suspect it was a gambling hell.It is chiefly frequeated by young men of good families.The first floor is fitted up Eke a reading room, while a bilHard table in the centre of the floor gives the impression that the place, if not highly respectable, certainly savors not of a_gambling hell.Gamblers are keen students of human nature; they never show the golgotha at the end of the gilded gambling road, to the unsophisticated young man who is imbued with the idea that it is necessary for him, if he would arrive at the full stature of a man to see life in ail its varied phases.The young man who is sure that he not playing billiards long before he is aware that there &re rooms upstairs where he can have an innocent game of cards.Both flats over the innocent- looking» reading room are divided off into a number.of small rooms that nightly are filled with young men who play carls for money.It,is a well known fact that more than one young man has come to grief in this place.x per from Toronte runs a gambHäg den which is mostly fréquented by men of Jeans.An immense amount of mohey is seid to change hands every night in this place.* A lawyer, well known in Montreal, told the writer a few days ago that a business man who frequents this place came to him and told him that he had been ruined there.And so it goes on.These are no fimcy pictures, but unsavory, ugly, realities.The Metropolitan Turf .Commission Company, about the end of August or beginning of September, started\u2019 two branches, one at 201 St.Jamee- street and the other at 1801 Notre Dame Street.The place on St.James street only rad for a short time, business being dull.They shut up shop and devoted all thelr attention to the Notre Dame branch, where they remained for about ten months doing such a good business that they occupied the three floors.From Notre Dame street they stole away and were next found at 2¢ St.Lawrence street.There these sharks continued to fleece the lambs until they dhanged to their present quarters, in the Per- rauit building.The first thing that strikes the eye on approaching the buliding is the sign \u2018Store to let\u2019 but that sign tells\u2014mot the truth.It would be better for many a young, and sed to say, old man, too, if the signewas correct.On one side of the large room is- a\" blackboard ruled and lined for the purpose of posting up the results of the races which are supposed to take leans, ete., but whether they do or not is a knotty question.The fellows who run the concern affeat clean-shaven faces, closely cropped hair, high collars, and a general knowing air.Opposite the blackboard a part of the called the business department.There the telegraph operator, feket seller and cashier preside.\u20ac modus-operandi is { as follows: First race, Chiéago, 2:15; 41 ait PEACEFULLY THE DOORKEEPER SLEEPS.There is a.gambling den on Dorchester street, often visited by Maloney, which is deing an immense amount of harm to young men.All the well-known gamblers frequent this place.The games played are bookmaker's wheel, roulette and craps.The inside door is guarded \u2018by a colored mam named \u2018George,\u2019 who has got very fat of late owing to the immense amount of sleep he takes while sitting near the door, as he well knows that the police would never dream of entering this place.George -would be extremely surprised end indignant if the police ever dared to force open the door-that he so carelessly guards.But there is little fear that the police will ewer disturb the repose of this faithful if indolent doorkeeper.Little wonder that gamblers multiply and blossom as the rose in Montreal, cared for and hedged in as they are from disturbingsraids and worrying seizures.-Of St.Lawrence, near Vitre dtreet, is another den thaf the police know well, yet worry not.A few weeks ago a broken-hearted woman came to the \u201cWit- * ness\u2019 office and told a sad story pf how her husband spent all his.time and money in this place and how her once happy home had become a \u2018thing of the Desk.: The chief of police has heard dozens of such stories; but a broken-hearted wife need not for one instant imagine that her suffering would cause the righteous indignation of the officers of the law, and speedy punishment of \"the law-breakerS who have ruined her husband and her home.On St.Catherine street, near Bleury, is another resort that is very well- Known and that has been in operation ; a HE NEVER SEES THE GAMBLING DENa

wicket puts down one dollar that said horse will win: if the odds are three to one, he receives three dollars.If he puts an extra dollar that the said horse will take a place and it comes in second the ticket holder receives two doHars; if it comes in third he gets nothing, and that is what most of the frequenters get.The race starts; a son\u2019 of Africa, with a patch over one eye, calls out the names of the horses duking the progress of the race, thus\u2014 \u2018Forest King,\u2019 by a neck; Henry, second; a length of \u2018Miss Perkins\u2019, third; at the quarter, \u2018Forest

Perkins,\u2019 second; \u2018Forest King,\u2019 third.That is the funny part of it, some horse not counted on at all during the race comes to the front and wins and all the ticket- holders lose their money.As soon as the report is confirmed a man with an iron grey moustache, evidently the head of the firm, calls out, \u2018Tickets cashed,\u2019 and the lucky ones go up and get their money, less twenty percent commission.But a peculiar feature is that buyers are far more plentiful than winners.Where does all the money go to?On an average ten races per day take place and a considerable amount of money must be lost by the deluded mortals who patronize the establistrment.; In the Intervals between the different races quite a few disappear up a Hitle stairway in \u2018the middle of the room, notwithstanding a sign, \u2018Keep off these stairs,\u201d to the domain of Andy.tlre THE BEUTHNER-DOWNS CASE.Judgment wag rendered \u2018by the Court of Appeal, yesterday, in the case of Beuthner and

Sherbrooke, Que., Jan.25.\u2014The Thursday morning session opened with a prayer and praise service at 9.30 and de- voitional exercises were conducted by the Rev.C.H.Craik, Waterville.The Rev.Wm.Shearer, Sherbrooke, was elected convention chairman and until his arrival the chair was occupied by Mr.Buchanan, Montreal.At ten o'clock reports.from the field by county assoctatiohs were received and were very encouraging and interesting.At eleven o'clock the executive committee report was presented by secretary Muirhead, after which the treasurer\u2019s report was presented by Mr.W.K.Grafty, Montreal.He informed the convention that the expenses of the union were far ahead of the receipts and to-day they had to face a large deficit.Montreal had in the past been obliged to contribute nearly all the money andl he appealed to the seven hundred schools in the country to try and contribute one dollar each, thus bringing in-a revenue of seven hund dollars towards the expenses.A circular; stead of recelving sev thirty-two dollars had: to-day they had a deficit of seven hundred \"dollars, which was a great burden on the treasurer's mind.Cards were distributed among the delegates, who were requested to pledge themselves on behalf of their schcols to such an amount as they could afford.The appeal was generously responded to by a majority of the- delegates, over $182.60 being raised, which will be applied on the deficit.: Dr.Bazin, of Montreal, was called upon during the taking up of the pledges, and made a brief address on Sunday- school necessity in the province., Mr.D.Torrance Fraser, statistical secretary, for a .few minutes dwelt upon the growth of the Sunday-echool in the various countjes, and on the whole.spoke very encouragingly of the progress

Mills says: \u2014 \u2018There is a third thing that God will reveal to you if you have been anointed by the Holy Ghost.He will reveal to you his unrevealed will concerning your personal guidance.Oh, that weary procession that passes through the .study of every godly pastor in this land, A procassion not of people convicted of sin, but of nominal Christians who say, \u2018How may I know the will of God, and How may I be sure of guidance as to personal duty?I can tell you.There are three ways: First, ¢he revelation of this wonderful book.God shows us plainly some things here concerning which we -néed not to ask any questions.Secondly, he shows us some things .by his providence, the issues of life and death, the issues of seeming success or seeming failure in certain directions, hedging up paths here and opening them there in the way that we Know is the hand of God.But there is a third way, that is by the direct revelation in the soul of the individuality of the Holy Ghost.He speaks to Philip and says, \u2018Go.\u2019 He speaks to Paul and says, \u2018Tarry,\u2019 and again he says to him \u2018Go.Beloved, listen.If it be that you have questions about duty and you do not see the light shining brighter and brighter unto the perfect day, it is because you have not committed dll your way to and have not \u2018Been: baptized by the Holy Ghost.I -4would@ to-night that if

evening in the.mission rooms of the Eglise Evangelique Canadienne Francaise, 1421-2 Delisié street.The French Protestant thurches, for the first time in the history of French evan- gelization, had been invited to meet.It was a love feast gathering, or evening supper.The tables were well filled; \u2018many pastors had been invited,specially the Rev.Dr.Chiniquy, but, owing to the many pressing duties of the hour, the latter, to his great regret, was unable to be present.The evening exer- cgiges dommenced immediately after the supper, the Rev.Mr.Sadler being installed in the chair.Prayer was offered up by Mr.M.J.Beauchemin, N.P.Several beautiful hymns were sung by the : members of the choir, led by the pastor, the Rev.J.R.Barnabas, and a short address was given by Mr.Louis Benenfant, city missionary.The pastor then entertained the gathering by exhib- ing views of India and its fameus temples.Several views of the suffering Huguenots recalled old scenes and were very affecting.Views of the Huguenot churches in London, Eng., were also shown, but the most interesting part of the programme were the views of Canterbury Cathedral .and the crypt in which the Huguenots of the past used to worship and where those of the present day worship also.It has been in their continfed possession since the day it was given to them by the gentle and godly Edward VI.i .The platform on Tuesday
