VICTORY.The usual election meetings were held last evening.Mr.Vileneuve\u2019s friends are preparing for a big rally this evening at | Sohmer Park, the home of Sunday four percent lager.Those who wish to draw a big crowd there say that Mr.Mercier will be present and speak for his friend, Mr.McShane, but this is not generally credited.The Villeneuve party claim a majority of 975.Mr.McShane's friends put his majority at 5,0%.They would, no doubt, be content with 500.A meeting in favor of Mr.Villeneuve, TAI ES ha last évening.The à was small.Messrs.E.Laberge, L.À.Proulx, M.Campeau, O.Desmarais and C.Champagne, were amongst the speakers.Mr.A.T.Lepine, M.P., spoke in behalf of Ald.Desmarteau\u2019s candidature in St.James ward, last evening.Ald.Brunet had a meeting also, at which Messrs.O.Beland, R.Lemieux and others delivered addresses.Ald.Janes has some good coasters working Yor him.According to thelr dtatements, 499 electors who intend voting for Mr.James need not go to the polls at all and he will stil be elected.They make his majority 500.A point is sought to be made by some against Mr.E.Goff Penny, by stating that he does not reside in St.Lawrence ward.This is true, he does not, but it is equally true of Ald.James, whose place of business and residence are both in \u2018St.Antoine ward, where Mr.Penny also resides.ST.ANN'S WARD.At a zheeting of Mr.Martin Phelan\u2019s supporters in thelr committee room on Forfar street last night Mr.W.Darling- ton eutogized Mr.Phelan, claiming that of the two candidates Mr.Phelan had the most sympathy for the Knights of Labor cause.Mr.Darlington, continu- tn, devounced the present system of expropriation, also the attempted action cf the corporation to reduce the wages of the carters, but, said he, thanks to the efforts of the Knights of Labor In their strong protest against this injustice, the wages of the carters were not reduced.+ \u2018We have a friend in Mr.Phelan,\u201d said the speaker.At the com- clusion of Mr.Darlington\u2019s remarks Mr.Phelan stepped forward and made a strong appeal to the electors to support him, claiming that the present alderman cond not do justire to St.Ann's Ward olding two p

St.Ann\u2019s Ward explaining Mr.Phelan\u2019s platform.POLITICS IN IT.Much interest centres in what Mr.Mercier will sav, if he visite Sohmer Park this evening.Some of Mr.Me- Shane's supporters appear to be jubilant at the introduction, by the \u2018Minerve,\u2019 of the question of politics into the campaign.\u2018It will influence a lot of voters in our favor.If Mr.Mc- Shane should get the Liberal vote and the labor vote he will be elected,\u201d say they.Mr.Mercier, when seen this morning, and asked if he intended going to the meeting, replied that he had not de- clded whether to go or stay away.Ald.Villeneuve's friends claim that the canvass in St.James ward alone shows a majority of between 700 and 500 votes for them.ST.LAWRENCE WARD.Mr.E.G.Penny's canvags is proceeding briskly in St.Lawrence ward, and gaining strength : with each hour as the people are getting to know him.Mr.Penny is not well up in the ways of electioneering, and his modesty and manly manner tells very greatly for him on the part of those who meet him for the first time.On being asked what his chances are, Mr.Penny said his assurances were many and in the direction of success, but, of course, the electors had the matter in their hands.Mr.Penny's address is published elsewhere, and it should be scanned by every St.Lawrence Ward voter.ST.LOUIS WARD.We are requestel by the secretary of the Citizens\u2019 Municipal Association to state that Mr.Reneauit is the candidate approved of hy the association for St.Louis Ward.By an vmission the name of Mr.Reneault was not included in the ltst advertised by the Council of the Association.Mr.Paquette, the candidate who is running against Ald.Renault in St.Louis Ward, shows \u2018the following en- dorsation of his position in the business world and as a reply to the allegation that he is an \u2018unknown man: \u2018We have known Mr.P.E.Paquette frr a number of years and have found him an honorable, intelligent and capable business man in all transactions we have had with him.His career as a dry goods merchant and a manufac- tirer has been a successful one and he is well and favorably known in the trade.S.Greenshields, Son & Co.Gault Bros.& Co.Montreal, Jam.30, 1894.I have known Mr.P.E.Paquette, late of \u2018he dry goods house of Paquette Bros.for over twelve years.A more upright, vonest and trustworthy man does not po :n St.Louis Ward, apart from the fact that he is a man of wide experience and well-knewn commercial ability.He si retired merchant who has travelled P.Pns'vely, and, in my opinion, Mr.Aueïte would make a most excellent (resentative of St.Louis Ward in the Montreal, Jan.30, 1008 Beaugrand I ts with much pleasure that we EPS declare to know Mr.P.E.Pa- a one of the candidates of thls since many years, and we are io Sli \u2018endance | certainly in duty bound to acknowledge him as a very intelligent.business man, and also as one of the most honest citizens of this city that we had to deal with.We feel very sure jn saying that if Mr.Paquette is willing to display as much energy, activity and \u2018honesty for the interests of the city as he has done for himself in thé past, no better man can be elected to the City Council to represent this ward.James Johnston & Co.Montreal, Jan, 40, 1894.=, ST.ANN'S WARD (SEAT NO.2).(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\") 8ir,\u2014So many candidates having now retired from the electoral contest, it has been asked if I propose to retire.You may answer this by an emphatic denial.There are four comp£titors\u2014Messrs.Conroy, Nolan, Slattery and myself, for seat No.2 of St.Ann's Ward.Throughout the division objection has been raised Messrs.Conroy and Nolan, by their actions in the past, and I think that the contest will nanrow itself down to the two new candidates that have had the courage to present themselves.The electors will have to decide this.I place myself in their hands and offer MR.M.M.CLORAN.them a pledge of proteeting the inter- ests- of the city, and the ward in particular.Civic reform, while encouraging progress and improvement, will be my earnest thought and effort.The expropriation system ,that has simply been desolating the trèasury of our city, will receive my earliest attention.The awarding of public contracts that has been so shamelessly carried on in .the past at the City Hall will find in me an 2 LE SEE Ae ec In the Fire Department, whos bids system is yet one of complaint amongst all the insurance companies, I will endeavor to support any measure that will bring about a reduction of insurance rates.The water tax, that the electors ever seem to think, and with reason, to be exorbitantly high, should be reduced to a minimum.The pole nuisance that is geemirgly growing worse, owing to ald- ermanic favors extended to the electric ard telephone corporations, will not have much of my sympathy.Montreal is too fair a city and becoming the worthy rival of New York, Chicago and Paris, to be thus disfigured.; As to the Road Department, I will support particularly a reform there that vil] tend not to waste the people's money by macadamizmg and paving streets which are subsequently undone for gas pipes, sewers, etc.The city\u2019s debt that has rolled up to the enormous amount of some $25,000,000 has already been regarded with fear and alarm.Bankers of eminence and authority comment unfavorably on the financial situation.Sir, I can assure the electors that all my efforts will on this point particularly be directed tewards red'icing this alarming debt.We have also to remember the health of our fellow-citizens and the recessity of protecting it in full; a measure to establish civic hospitals for infectious diseases would receive my hearty co-operation.The General and Notre Dame hospitals are obliged to refuse cases of the above kind.A devotion on my part towards an establishment of such hospitals, I am sure, would be hailed with favor by the poor and the afflicted.The remaining duties devolving upon a representative of the electors I shall pledge myself to fulfil with honesty and impartiality, and regretting much that I have been unable to make a personal canvass of St.Ann\u2019s Ward, at the same time, I can safely say that their loyal and hearty support will be fully reciprocated.ei M.M.CLORAN: HOOPER AT THREE RIVERS.(Special to the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Three Rivers, Que.Jan.30.\u2014The Hooper case, which is to come before the judge of session for examination this afternoon, is exciting much interest here.The court house is crowded with an eager thromg, curious to get a look at the prisoner.At half past two the case had not been taken up, some petty trial occupying the attention of the magistrate.The witnesses have arrived and Mr.Donald Macmaster, the repre sentative of the Attorney-General.The prisoner will be defended by Mr.Richard S.Cooke, advocate, of this town.eet LOOKS SIGNIFICANT.Rome, Jan.30.\u2014The announcement that the Congregation of Sacrefl Rites has pronounced Joan of Arc worthy of veneration has made a deep impression here.Tre Pope ratified the Congregation's decision as soon as it was presented to him by the Prefect.His readiness was intended, it is thought, to further emphasize his willingness to support Republican France.tft SHIPPING.Hong Kong, Jan.30.\u2014The Canadian Pacific Reilway Company's 88.Empress of India arrived |

at a stretch if they wish, or longer if the storm bolds out.About four hundred men were engaged to-day on the various streets, in addition to those on the permanent force.At present the railways have not suffered any great detentions or delays on account of the storm.The trains this morning were generally on time, but those due towards noon and in the afternoon are showing indications of King Snow's prowess, and as a consequence those trains are bulletined from two to four hours late.The storm seems to be much more severe over the eastern sections.The Intercolonial is blocked .up hopelessly and No.3 Grand Trunk, which is timed to legve on the arrival of the Maritime train, has been cancelled.The western and Americdn trains were mostly on time, but this is in part due to the fact that they were pretty well advanced en their journey before the storm set in and were therefore very little or -not at all affected by it.AT OTTAWA.Ottawa, Jan.30.\u2014For very many years Ottawa has not been visited with such a heavy snow-fall as took place last night and this morning.It snowed steadily all night and only ceased between nine and ten o'clock to-day.All the trains are running late.The only electric street railway track open this morning was that between the postoffice and the C.P.R.depot.With a big gang the branches will soon be open.The main \u201cline was open before noon.This a rebie (Special \u2018to \u2018the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Quebec, Jan.30.\u2014The very widest storm of the season has unfortunately initervened to destroy the beautiful weather with which the Quebec carnival was ushered in yesterday morning amd to mar the pleasure of the festivity.It began to make itself felt early last even- wg and increased in violence during the night until it rose fto ithe fury of a gale.At the \u2018time of writting this morning the wind is tearing through the streets with all \u2018the force of a hurricane, rendering it almost {impossible to make headway against it, and piling the snow in huge drifts along every thoroughfare.The result is that they are virtually -desert- ed, and that ithe outlook for \u2018the carrying out of \u2018the day's outdoor items of the carnival programme, which include the public reception of the vice-regal party, is far from being bright.Moreover, all the incoming trains have been delayed by the storm, and the C.P.R.regular conveying - Their Excellencies and party, and due at 6.30 this morning, is not expected to reach Quebec before eleven or twelve o'clock.Owing to the high wind last night the grand pyrotechnical display on the Citadel, Duf- ferin Terrace and Levis heights was somewhat of a failure, but the other iluminations were very fine and crowds of people thronged the streets :throughout \u2018the evening admiring them, especially those of the ice fortress and ice statues and the different arches.rss DOCTOR VS.NEWSPAPER.Dr.Thos.Wesley Mills has taken an action for $10,000 damages

in favor of maintaining the principles of self-help and non-interference by the state.The commission is against the universal eight-hour day, and advises that the regulation of the working hours of adults be left to voluntary arrangement.A small minority of the commission, led by Tom Mann, proposes to fix the eight- hour day by act of Parliament.The Parliamentary Labor party will not relish

Jan.30.\u2014The arrival of their Excellencies, which was expected to occur at 6.30 a.m.did not take piace till after eleven.In spite of the unpropitious weather a large crowd was in attendance and the space around the station was completely filled while the waiting room was packed with the members of the different local snowshoe clubs, including Quebec, Emerald, Mon- tagnais, Union, Commerciale, Huron and Fronttenac.Their Excellencies were accompanied by their A.D.C.and by Lady Marjerie Gordon and- Lord Archie Lyeamearicably welt In spite of the fatiguing journey.As the train drew into the station Mayor Fremont, accdompaned by the Hon.Mr.Joly de Lotbin:ere, proceeded to the Vice-regal car and welcomed their Excellencies to the Ancient Capital.Proceeding to the waiting room through srowshoers ranged on either side.Lady Aberdeen was presented with a handsome bouquet, ornamented by miniature snowshoes and moceasing, the latter tied together hy r.bbons of the colors of the different clubs.It was presented by the little son of Major J.8.Dunbar, prettily attired in the costume of the Quebec Snowshoe Club, while Mayor Fremont, on his side, tendered a fac simile of the ice

WALES\u2019 RETIREMENT DENIED.New York, Jan.30.\u2014Mr.Edmund Yates in his London cable to the \u2018Tribune\u2019 says: The sensational st-tement in a contemporary that the Princess of Wales has decided to withdraw from society is utterly untrue.Nor is it a fact that she has announced any resolve on the subject.The Princess has to a considerable exten: withdrawn from society ever since the death of the Duke of Clarence, but she would have attended this season's drawing rooms if the state of her heath had not rendered it advisable for her to take another visit to Italy and Greece.The Princess will go into society to a reasonable extent during her residence at Mariborough House, next season, which will be from the third week in May until the end of July, after which she is going to Denmark on a long visit to her parents.The Queen will, according to the present arrangements, leave Osborne for Windsor on Friday, Feb.16, and Her Majesty is then to reside at the Castle until her departure for the Continent on March 19 or 20.The Royal yacht \u201cVictoria and Albert\u2019 has just completed an unusually extensive overhauling and refitting at Portsmouth, and on last Wednesday went for a trip In the Solent for a trial of her machinery, with satisfactory results, The Khedive intends to make a tour of the principal European courts this year, leaving Egypt early in May.Abbas Pasha will visit Vienna, St.Peters- burg, Berlin and Paris, before coming to London.He is not likely to arrive in England until the end of June.The Khedive will stay at Buckingham palace as the guest of the Queen, who is to receive a visit from him.\u2014\u2014\u2014 MR.REDMOND ON THE WARPATH, London, Jan.30.\u2014Mr.John Redmond, leader of the Parnellites, said in an interview that he would move

convictions of the right.\u2019 When the Hon.Edward Blake left \u201cnada to fight for the cause of home rie for Ireland on the hustings throughout the Umited Kingdom and in the council! of the Empire, he did it feeling (ha: the cause was a just one.He did not cross the Atlantic as a mere agi- -ator to harangue the people of Ireland and fan the flame of hatred for their oppressors, but to act as a true guide and counsellor to point out the weak spots which were to be avoided, as well as to lay down a line of action that would commend \u2018itself to the calm, deliberate and sober minds of those who hold power.He has always been convinced that the condition of Ireland is not accordant with justice, and while he sat in our Parliament his voice was heard more than once in {ts behalf, and upon the finst call from that unhappy land he severed his Canadian connections of jarge financial value; he resigned his seat in the Federal Parlfament to lend his eloquence, his abfHty and means to the furtherance of the cause without thought or promise of fee or reward.It is for this reason that Mr.Blake cares great weight with an intelligent audience, and last evening he presented the causs of home rule in a manner whidh won friends for it from among those who would otherwise have been its eremies.The stirring strains of \u2018Garry Owen\u2019 announced ithe arrival of the torchlight procéssion at the Windsor Hall, and ¢hortly after the Hon.Edward Blake entered the hall with Mr.Flood, the president of the Young Irishmen\u2019s Liter- ery and Bemneñfit Association.He was accompanied by the following, who took seags on the platform: The Hon.John Costigan, *he Hon.J.J.Curran, the Hon.Senator Murphy, the Hon.Peter Mitchell, Mr.James McShane, Ald.Villeneuve, AMI.Jeannotte, Messrs.P.P.Flynn, L.O.David, Dr.Hingston, Davis, Ald.Nolan, F.B.Hayes, Ald.Tan- sey, Father O'Donnell, Messrs.Slattery, Butler, Loye, Burke, St.Louis, H.Ca- vanagh, J.P.Whelan, P.Wright and thers.for Flood read the following address: Windsor Hall, January 29, 1894.To the Hon.Edward Blake, P.C., M.P.Honored Sir,\u2014We, the Young Irishmen\u2019s Literary and Benefit Assoolation and our frienda assembled with us, deem it a great privilege to be allowed to approach you and tender vou a heartfelt welcome to the city of Montreal.At any time we should greet vou as one of Canada\u2019s noblest sons, one of the most dis- tmçushed of the descendants of Ireland on this continent.The high position you attained in every walk of life you undertool tr follow in this Dominion, the unswerving devotion you have always manifested for the rause of dear old Ireland, entitle you to the love, confidence and esteem of all classes in our community, but more especially to those like yourself, look to Irelaad as the lard of their forefathers.Now, however, as yu have come ainongsteus, after baving mad~ the heroic sacrifice of abandoning all that is dear to you in your Canadian home, + =nlist your splendid abilities in the British House of Commons to the advocacy of the \u2018aus of home rule for Ireland, you are doubly welenme.We greet you with a genu- \u2018nz \u2018Caed Mille F'ailthe,\u201d and are anxious ¢o h-ar from your lips the progress of the strug- gl?in which you ere so valiant a champion.Mav Divine Providence spare you t3 continué the work you have so gemerously un- dartaken, May we all witness your final triumph in the constitutional battle now be- fre waged, and a long day of peaie, prosperity and vigorous national life sson have x dawn for the dear old land.We feel that the citizens of Montreal here aszembled will not allow you to go from amongst us withcut substantial evidence of their anprecintion of your effxrts.and on their bohalf, as well as for ourselves, we ask you « accept the assurance of the highest consi- tation.THE YOUNG IRISHMEN'S LITERARY AND BENEFIT ASSOCIATION.JAMES A.FLOOD, President.Mr.Blake listened, but not a muscle of his face moved, and he looked Straight before him as if gazing at a blank wall.When he rose to reply he wat greeted with cheers, but his face did not show that he heard them.His manner was cool and calm.He thanked the society for the address in a few words and launched the question of home rule.During his whole public life In Canada he was the champion of a true home rule system as applied to this country.He was a believer in the existence of a large share of provincial autonomy and local rights, with an efficient and central government for common concerns.He had always advocated the fullest grant of civil and religious liberty, the concession of a full and generous measure of rights to minorities nf whatever origin or creed by the majorities associated with them.A liberal measure of home rule had passed the House.It was true that that measure had not become law, but that was due to the fact that an irresponsible and hereditary second chamber had thought it within their constitutional powers to ignore for the time the verdict of the popular chamber and to do- cide that the measure should not become law until the ordeal of a second election should have taken place.It was 80 disposed of by the verdiet of the people of Great Britain and Ireland and a favorable verdiot on \u2018that subject vas what all Home Rulers pught to sek to attain.In Mr.Parnèll\u2019s time the Trish party formed an alliance with the Liberal party, and it has ex- \u201ced ever since, for they believed it to e the wisest and surest means of ac- \u201c~mplishing the end.The Liberal party \" +1 shown itself true to its pledges in face of logs and disaster, and were pre- cared to go to the polls upon the ques- tin of home rule.It was at the polls \u2018hat the battle was to be won, and they °° to glve all the assistance they could A order to win the battle.Many re- \"ms were needed to strengthen their ds at the polls, and these were to nressed forward at once.They Vented a better system of registration votes, they wanted simultaneous ling, they wantad an equality of Faht and privilege by the application ho man, one vote.The cost of elec- ,! should be borne by the public ex- \u201cquer and not by the candidates; yvmbers should be pald as here and in United States, and they wanted \u2018me provision to limit the obstructive jy*rr5 of that hereditary and aristo- auUc body, the second chamber.ao, Da i Gil Lo GSE ra TT tal He i By maka aT Tae SoS BR NE A ARRAS ES RR PE BE RR, SLA av di tr à bse deals Circ dans Fi mal Ee dens RE ee ë Sil, WBE Ca are rl, ete EE ET All these were Stepping-stones to wards the attainment of home rule.There were other specific reforms, such as the disestablishment of the Church of Scotland and the Church of Wales, and to establish the principle of religl- ous equality.It was the policy of the party to give an earnest and enthusl- astic attendance in Parliament, and to do their best to carry out the great general objects of what he had pointed out as being stepping-stones to home rule this year.The measure towards which they looked was based upon the view that local government for local purposes was the most efficient kind of government they could have.The things which touched the daily life of the people most nearly was the land question, the question of property and civil rights, the question of the education of the people, the question of the administration of justice, of the police, of municipal law and of local development.He rejoiced that a measure giving a large and liberal share of control over Irish affairs had attained the state it had.But they must turn that measure into law.They must stand by the Liberal party and as long as that party remained honorable and true to its pledges the Home Rulers would remain true to theirs.\u2019 But they must be independent of the Liberal party, and act as & Wing of an army, under their own leaders, but acting In ccncert.\u2018We serve the Irish race at home and abroad; we servé no other masters.We must maintain that doctrine of the unity of the Irish party.The party must be independent, and in order to maintain that condition in Parliament they want more funds.For the salaries of members from $40,000 to $45,000 per year was required; for registration expenses, etc.$10,000; for organization, printing, etc, $20,000, and for the maintenance of evicted tenants, $85,000.He denied that the party had personal interest in asking help.All Irishmen were interested in the one cause; and all aided in different ways.Mr.Blake's speech was followed by a storm of applause and the waving of handkerchiefs.The Hon.J.J.Curran moved a vote of thanks to Mr.Blake, and urged the people to give what they could for the cause of home rule.The Hon.John Costigan, seconded the motion in a brief speech.He hoped the people of Montreal would contribute generously \u2018to the funds.The subscriptions of the evening amounted to $1,460 and the list will remain open until next Monday, to enable those who were not at the meeting to contribute.In the afternoon a luncheon was held in the St.Lawrence Hall in honor of Mr.Blake, by the Hon.J.J.Curran, at which were a number of prominent gusts, including the Hon.John Costi- gan, Senator Murphy, James McShane, A.W.Grenier, J.G.H.Bergeron, M.P,, and Senator Tasse.are THE HENS ANNUAL MEETING.POULTRY AND PETS IN

America, Quebec has been a courtly city, and she retains that character to the present day.Her natural situation is one signifying, and, indeed, calculated to secure, prominence and power.Her surroundings are magnificent, and calculated to stimulate the imagination and impress the mind with lofty ideas.Perched on a promontory of rock, surrounded by mountains, and overlooking the mighty river which js the natural exit and entrance of the great inland seas of the earth, Quebec is symbolical of the natural strength of Canada, and every Canadian should be proud of her and of what she signifies.Canadians and the housekeeper, freed from much of, the slavery of thc kitchen, shall find time for the cultivation of those graces and | accomplishments which keep the heart and brow young, enabling that domestic ccmpanionship to be realized which is the best guarantee for happiness in the married state.\u2014\u2014\u2014 HOW MAJOR WILSON AND HIS MEN DIED.The story of the defeat and annihila-: tion of Major Wilson and his little party of mounted men who set out in pursuit of King Lobengula with the purpose of capturing the king, and thus putting an end to all danger of a renewal of the struggle, has been learned by Doctor Jameson, the Zambesia Company's commissioner, from some of the Matabele indunas, or chiefs, who took part in the affair.Major Wilson and his party were, it appears, within an ace of succeeding in their object.They actually overtook the king's waggons, which they found with a large but not an overwhelming guard, and they attacked them.While engaged, the main body of Lobengula\u2019s forces, consisting of three regiments, having just suffered defeat at the hands of the company's main forces, under Captain Forbes, provided with machine guns, retreated upon the King's waggons, and, of course, came upon Major Wilson.and his little troop, who were attempting to escape from being hemmed in.The indunas of the retreating Mata- bele regiments, of which there were three, seeing the situation of Major Wilson and his men, called to their men, \u2018 Let us leave the men with the machine \u2018guns ; we cannot stand against them ; \u2018let us attack the men with horses.\u2019 Major Wilson and his men dismounted from their horses to receive the attack, and when their horses were slain formed their bodies into a sort of laager, inside which they took shelter.For six hours they fought the combined forces of the Matabeles, killing, it is said, many of them, and then their rifle ammunition.became exhausted.ened the Matabeles closed in upon them, and when it ceased they carried the position, if it may be so called, with a rush.The little British force contained not a man who was unwounded, and with the certainty of death staring them in the face, they had begun to write farewell letters and messages to their friends.As the Matabeles rushed in, the wounded men emptied their revolvers in a last vain effort at defence, but were quickly overwhehued by the numbers of their enemies, and \u2018soon,\u2019 as the despatch to the London \u2018Times\u2019 concludes, \u2018all was over.\u201d There can be no doubt about the fighting qualities of the average Britisher, and to do them justice the Matabeles, who are usually at a disadvantage instead of, as in this case, at an advantage, fight with all the bravery and skill of] the fine Zulu race to which they belong.\u2014 THE WINTER HOME OF KING CARNIVAL.King Carnival has this year chosen Quebec for the site of his palace and the scene of his and his subjects\u2019 revels, and everyone is struck with the fitness of hia choice.For natural magnificence no winter city approaches Quebec ; nor, we believe, will ever approach it.Quebec of the future will be grander in its own way than is Quebec of the present, but she is herself her only possible rival.To people living in lower latitudes, and compelled to suffer all the discomforts and inconveniences of foggy, rainy, dirty, dreary winters which prevail in their own regions, Montreal, with its beautiful, clear, cold winter, its dazzling white, clean streets, its general air of brisk, cheery, healthful winter happiness, seemed an ideal winter city, but Montrealers who have higher ideals in matters of this kind, while too loyal to their city to say much about it, feel in the bottom of their hearts that Quebec, not Montreal, is the true Queen of Winter.Montreal is somewhat fickle in attachment to winter charms.She smiles not less brightly than Quebec, but at times too warmly, and nothing robs carnival revels of the necessary brilliance so quickly as this unseasonable display of the melting side of her nature.If there must be anything like warmth at a winter carnival let it not be of the mild kind, but that burning quality which one meets with who, without the due - ceremony of gloving, invites the hand clasp of Jack Frost in his heartiest mood.Quebec, like the true winter queen she is, is not given to melting moods, and we do not see that King Carnival could do better than make his winter home forever there.He could hold court there without any sense of the incongruity of so doing in America.From should learn to love and appreciate her beauty, her strength, her greatness and her history, which is largely that of Canada, and even of the destiny of this continent.Americans who want to go abroad, who want to visit foreign cities, who want to get the true feeling of the oldest continental cities of Europe, have, according to those who have made a study of such things, only to visit Quebec.What inducements any city could offer to lovers of winter sports that Quebec does not offer we do not know.To toboggan and skate and curl and drive, surrounded by the enchanting winter scenery of the anclent capital, with all its historical associations, ought to afford keen joy to all people and keener in proportion to their knowledge and culture.ret.THE BOARD OF TRADE ELECTIONS.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u201d) Sir, \u2014I was sorry to see in Thursday's \u2018Witness\u2019 a letter signed \u2018Member,\u2019 from one of Mr.R.Esdaile\u2019s supporters, in the conflict for \u2018the treasurership Of the Board of Trade, in which the writer, in order to exalt Mr.Esdaile\u2019s claims, makes some invidious remarks about Mr.Edgar Judge which I am sure Mr.Esdalle would not endorse as contests for office in the Board of Trade are justly supposed to be between gentlemen, and should be conducted accordingly.Both candidates have always been good friends, and are so now; and I believe respect each other, despite the warm contest now waged by their respective supvorters; which is a mere tssue in Board of Trade politics; of some interest to the members, but of not much to the general public.Both candidates have done good work for the board, in different capacities, and no member has devoted more time to its interests than.Mr.Judge.His devotion to its interests is admitted by all who are acquainted with the interior work of the board, and he has always jealously guarded our interests in his service as treasurer.Officers of the Board, elected in 1893, are eligible for re-election in 184; why, therefore, should Mr.Judge\u2019s re-elec- \u201ction be opposed?I can only suppose 'it* to be because Mr.Ogilvie made it a As their fire slack- k-wine qua non\u2019 of his acceptance of the presidency for another year, that Mr.Judge should be the treasurer, and it looks as if Mr.Hsdalle\u2019's party was formed \u2018to cause the retirement of Mr.Ogilvie, whom they are striking at over Mr.Judge's shoulder.Mr.Judge is Isure to receive a majority of the votes of the daily visiting members of the board, who are well acquainted with the respective merits of its officers.In a list, however, of over 1,200 members there is a majority who know but little about the Board of Trade matters, or as to the effectiveness of its officers, as they do not attend board meetings except on very extraordinary occasions.These outside members, as I may term them, have been warmly canvassed, I am told, by Mr.Esdaile\u2019s friends.Of course an election so secured is allowable and fair, but the officer so elected cannot be congratulated as if elected by voters who understand better the relative merits of both candl- dates.\u201cIf members, before voting, will take pains Sto post themselves as to the cause of \u2018this contest, by enquiries among both parties, instead of relying upon \u2018ex parte\u2019 statements, I am sure Mr.Judge will be re-elected by a large majority.AN OLD MEMBER.Montreal, Jan.27, 1894.ee THAT GOLF CLUB LEASE.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u201d) Sir, \u2014That golf club lease is an outrage well in keeping with the other contracts of our present Council.As one who daily frequents our glorious mountain park I must protest against the pri- Vileges sald to have been made over to this favored club for the sum of $1 per year (it 13 well seen the aldermen do not themselves own the park).I will perscnally give $ per year, and will undertake to get fifty others to pay $ per year for the privilege of riding across the grass in question, i.e., west of the park ranger\u2019s house.Equestrians are, forsooth, to be allowed access to the ring in two places (the pub- Hc may not be aware ithat sald ring was buflt by private subscription by riders of this city, and not at the taxpayers\u2019 expense).Now there is a third way, which reads up to the park ranger\u2019s house (the road on which he draws out his hay), and by using which riders avoid the steep ascent to the other two roads.This should also be left open.The cAmax of all is the absurdity of the c'ty having to reserve the privilege of laying water pipes across its own property.What next ?PUBLIC RIGHTS.Montreal, Jan.25, 184.pe DR.CHINIQUY'S STATEMENT.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u201d) Sir, \u2014In your issue of the 22nd instant, there is published an interview between one of your reporters and Dr.Chiniquy in which the latter states that a priest was condemned to fourteen years\u2019 imprisonment for libelling the Doctor.Will Dr.Chiniquy have the goodness to favor many curious readers with particulars as to this matter; for instance, the name of the priest so condemned; where the trial took place, etc.?Hoping you may insert this communication, and thereby oblige one of several curious readers, I am the beginning of things historical in \u2018 né ten A .Lb EINE SR 2 BEAL ach re or ea ERASER ARAN GE SR AE NE RR HS CHARLES HARDESTY.TuEspAY, JANTARY 31, 1894.SCENE IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER.| DISASTERS AT SEA.THE LEADER OF THE BOGIALIST PARTY FORCIBLY EJECTED FOR OFFENSIVE CONDUCT.Paris, Jan.29.\u2014Clovis-Hugues inter- pellaied the Government in the Chamber of Deputies to-day as to the nouse ta house searches and the arrests made urder the new law relating to Anareh- ists.Te asserted the action of the authorities compared with the worst fva- tures of the Napoleonic regime.M.Raynal, minister of justice, said the Government simply applied the laws and this application had resulted in the seizure of enough explosives to destroy Marseliles.The members of the Centre zave Raynal an ovation.M.Georges Chaudey, son of Gustav Chaudey, a Republican journalist, who was shot by the Commune, proposed the adoption of the order of the day, which was favorable to the movement.In speaking to his proposition, M.Chaudey made a reference to M.Guesdea, a Socialist member, which disp'essed the Soctalists.M.Thiveyer, and others of the Socialist party yelled at the top of their voice, \u2018Vive la Commune.\u2019 This caused a tumult in the Chamber.Finally M.Dupuy, the president of the Chamber, demanded the withdrawal of the offensive cry.M.Thiveyer mounted the rostrum and maintained that he and his party had a perfect right to cry as they had done.The Chamber then adopted a motion censuring M.Thiveyar, with an order for hiis temporary exclusion from the House.M.Thiveyer refused to leave the House and orders were given to clear \u2018the Chamber, beginning with the spectators.The Socialist phalanx of fifty men retained their seats.DM.Sambat, who is the political editor of the \u2018Fetite Republique Francaise,\u201d and who represents one of the Paris districts in the Chambler, later described how the Chamber was cleared.One of the questors, he said, came to the Socialists (Gloucester, Jan a schooner \u2018Aberdeen\u2019 he ro ashore to-night outside nf 1° during a thick 1 Elzht members of safely landed.Canalis I: seamen remain ory the tide ebbs ou Hit rem Janded without difien!s | incrvaseld tp à ho v.vais sen is breaking ae vessel will probably tu Asbury Park.Jan.1 Sea 13 running her - ton ous gale is mast-d schooner was 4, = tain Edwards, of gise- - were not sufficient a were not willing to mu \" fic\u2019ency the workmen w © remedy by action - This amendment was + the House then adjou:: \u2014- CAPRIVIS POI.Berlin, Jan.29.\u2014The V doubtless with a view to the reports connec of Prince Bismark leged declining power lor, took a singular st: tion he gave.He left the purpese of shaking har Chancellor, and CONVe rs] with ostentatious heürtites- The fact is that the \u2018hunes retains to the fullest de dence of the l'inurror.hb of close friendship and ex-Empress Fr peror\u2019g mother.Where Chancellor Von Caprivi Vithin the empercr's he knows no enemy.ere mies within the Ministeriai in the meantinue, fer him.obliged whatever feeling of animesi'.> THE CRISIS IN A MOVEMENT IN FAVOR OIF 1 30.\u2014The \u2018Daily N London, Jan.pondent of the SLI.i { important communicati n- Servia are passing het: Austria, view to a change of > presumably vw.T\\ Public and official fre.- has been disgusted by !° > scandals, and is vecring favor of the pretender.georgevitch.\u2014 AN ELEVATOR FOR VIMY Winnipeg, Jan.29.\u2014NTr.intendent of the Railway, who has been consulting with \u2019 rived here last nicht.local grain men happy ha the Canadian Pacific K Can: Mr.Va I\" dir\u201d tie it 1< +\" with He lerick.+ Prin.marck during Lis regirie, made makes imminent.His pre we 1 He 4\u201d laa 1 tainly build a big sortne present year.He further se que tensive improvements Ww.the line on the Western divisions.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BURGLARIZED THE Ont.Kinmount, Jan.office here was were taken.robbers.cry r.bbed Somer tween Saturday evening and ve {ng.Fourteen registered Jet or $40 in cash and some posiaxe : There is No i.lating elevator at this pons 5 esto To trace THE Pais who hi here À busba7 mother Thu the C« gente\u2018 Prince at the cass 1 wrote : Princ.the Css four l ec rt (Yala 00 a her Aenl- desii the Fens the Fri of the TH! zr .tha: the: Con.Soci: the proc: rene: Bai: make Lom.have | Brus?Ferdi for À into ! land i yester ancho!

flattering requisition whioh I have received, asking me to be a candidate for the representation of your Ward in the City Counefl, Whether I am fortunate enough to be elected or not, I vhall always be proud of the fact that so many of my fellow-citizens have thought me worthy of nomination for so responsible an office at a time when extraordinary efforts are being made to secure a better representation of the taxpayers in the City Council.In.gratefully accepting the nomination, it is only right that I should briefly imti- masts to you the main features of the course that I intend to pursue, if elected.1 shell regard the office of Alderman as a public trust, to be cxercised, not for my own benefit, nor for the benefit of any great corporaticn having business relations with the city; but in the interests of the public generally, without distinction of class, creed or race.One of the most necesrary reforms required in the City Council is !n con- aection with the system of granting contracts fcr great public works.As a genersl principte, I am in favor of granting as few contracts as possible.Whenever practicable I baleve in civie works being carried out by day werk, undoe the supervision of the city's permanant officials, The results are generdily better in every way.The quality of the work Is Letter, the cost th leas, and the system {s more profitable to the kboring classes of the city, whose Interests in connection with puo- lic works should receive more consl- deration than they do at present.Whenever, for any reason, it is not practicable for tha city to do its own work, 1 believe it is atill possible to greatly improve the system of letting contracts.It will be my constant en~ deavor in such cases to ensure the civic contracts being granted to the lowest tenderers and not to favored contrac- \u2018 tors and wire-puilers, who have most friends in the Council.Long before I had any idea of being hondred with a seat in the City Coun- ofl I had taken considerable interest tn municipal Affairs, and could not help being impressed with the fact that so large à proportion of the public money showld Le spent upon schemes in which aldermen had either a direct or indi- reot personal interest.Such a state of affairs carries with it \u2018ts own con-, démnatton, and I will constantly set my fnce against any schemes invoiv- ing the expenditure of public money in whith aldermen are known to be, or even suspected of being, personally interested.In this connection I may add, that while I Ddelieve in a wise and liberal policy for the davelopment of our rapidly growing city, I am in favor of providing money for its aoc-\u2019 tual every-day necessities, such as street cleaning, watering and paving, before indulging in extravagant schemes of imprevement which too often are designed and carried out in the interest > * of a favored few.I am also strongly oppesed to a system of expropriation which seems to de designed to enrich e few lawyers at the expense of the owners.One ot my alms will be to bring about à better enforcement of the law which requires the amcasments to be based upon the actual market value of the properties assessed, and not upon caprice or guess work.The efforts to maintain the city credit in the money market will be warmly seconded hy me.(Signed) E.GOFF PENNY.| Schools Doomed\u2014Thinty-five Years

CONVENTION TO MEET HERE IN JULY\u2014PLEBISCITE AND .PROHIBITION NEWS.\u2018The attendance at the anniversary of the Dominion Alliance for the suppression of the liquor ftraflic, in Erskine Church, last night, was disappointingly smail.At such a time, and in celebration of such an event, an overtlow audl- ence might have been expected, and was certainly desarved, by those who had prepared so many good things for the entertainment and profit of the visitor, Nevertheless, though lacking somewhat in numbers, the anniversary celebration was a success.Such an air of cheerfulness and hope hung about the platform and pervaded the demeanor and speeches of the orators that the audience could not help but partake of It.Mr.J.R.Dougall presided; Mr.F.8.Spence was the principal speaker; Miss Hollinshead a1\u20acd Mr.Duquette supplied the vocal selections in their usual able manner.Upon the platform were Messrs.Carson, Balley, W.H.Lambly, the Rev.T.G.Williams, D.D., and others.Mr.Dougall said the Dominion Alliance represented ihe organization of all those ecclesiastical bodies who numbered prohibition of the liquor traffic as one of their principles.A large part of the Christian churches were as much pro- hipitionist in principle as was the Do- mimion * Alliance organization; at the came time the fact, must be admitted that they were not as much so in action as was desinable; if they were, a pro- hil:iitory law would soon be passed.Mr.Dougall then briefly sk >tched the history of the Alliance from the time when, twenty years ago, the active members composing that body went to Mr.Mackenzie to ask for a prohibitory law, and after some years had got the Scott Act, than which ro act had had a more benign influence upon the country.When that law had failed to enforce itself it had most wrvazly been kicked aside, chiefly in Ontario, where the teople had depeaded too little upon themselves and too much upon the Government.Unless the power of public sentiment and action was more than equal to the,opposing forces Hy which official actions are obstructed the Scott Act cr any other temperance legislation would have very little chance of being carried to its rightful amd logical conclusion.Myr.Carson considered the temperance party the most grateful people in the Province of Quebec; they were so grateful for small mercies.They were grateful to the commissioners who had this year reduced the number of licenses by thirty-seven, for although that still left 923 licensed places in Montreal, it was a step in the right direction.We had much to do yet\u2018to place ourselves in line with Ontarfo in whose twelve cities there were oniy 750 licenses against our 960.- +.: : Another cause for gratitude was the by-law making it possible to close the liquor places at 10 o'clock on week days and seven o'clock on Saturdays; it only remained to have this by-law put into practice.One of the most influential deputations ever brought together in this city had waited upon the city council to effect this object two years and two months ago; the city council, ag might have been expected of them, had done nothing.However, with the revolution that had lately taken place in public opinion in favor of municipal purity of government, the speaker hoped that better things might be expected from the new council.It would be of incalcula-~ ble benefit when accomplished, as was instanced in Toronto, where the saloons were closed at seven o'clock on Saturday evening and the savings banks were kept open.There had been an activity displayed during the past year in fining saloonKeepers for infringement of the law, but, unfortunately, the improvement had ended ther and the fines were not enforced.On St.Jean Baptiste's day certain of the saloonkeepers had opened thelr premises in spite of the order of the Premier to the contrary, and had been fined for sc doing; but the fines | had never been collected.There were other cases.In one, a liquor seller had Leen twice fined for selling liquor without a license, but these fines had never heen paid, neither had any effort been made to colfect them.Thousands of dollars worth of these fines were due by liquor seilers and not collected and this in spite of the increased taxation demanded frcm the tradesmen and other citizens.The Dominion Alliance were urging this matter upon the Government and intended to continue to do so until the fines were collected.Mr.James Baylis replied to the assertion of those who contend that the Government cannot enforce prohibition and gave several instances where they had done\u2019 so easily.It needed but the wish and the will and whisky would soon be prohibited, from the Pacific to the Atlantic.Mr.Spence, of Toronto, made a fine optimistic speech and amply justified the cheerful view he took of the future of the prohibition cause.He said he was as confident of seeing the liquor traffic wiped out as he was that the sun would rise in the morning.Many good people deplored the blunders that were sometimes made and the slow rate of progress, but they should remember that the whole thing had started in a blunder and not so long ago.Sixty-five years ago there was not a temperance society in existence; the seven men of Preston had not met; Father Mathew had not begun his crusade.Then the early temperance refcrmers did not want to stop drinking; we have only learned to-day \u2018that there is evil where there may not be drunkenness.So far from trying to stop drinking the first phases of the movement were actually drinking societies.When this was found unworkable a.clever fellow thought he had solved the difficulty by a pledge substituting the drinking of soft liquors in the place of hard, excepting at meal times and holidays.It was easy to laugh at rast mistakes, but we were row prcfiting by those very errors.\u2018These men meant well, and soon the logle of facts forced them on.A total abstinence pledge did not solve the difficulty, for precious few ardent drinkers ever permanently re- formed.It was impossible to cure the drinking evil by moral suasion with the legislature encouraging the traffic.Three things were needed for ultimate success: First, the right of publie sentiment; second, wise legislation; third, honest administration.Referring to the Royal Commission, Mr.Spence said that it Was going to do the prohibitory cause no end of good, pL TS MR.¥.8S.SPENCE.although perhaps it did not commence its labors with that intention.The report would be a perfect magazine of information.Already Canada held a high place among the nations for temperance.In Canada the (drinking amounted to 4 1-2 gallons per Lead; across the line Ît was zeven gallons; in Great Britain it was 30 gallons.Referring to the plebiscite in Ontario, Mr.Spence said it was a vhase of a growth of the principle stated of profiting by former mistakes.The Dominion Alliance, at their great convention in Montreal in 1875, urged the passing of a prohibitory act over the whole Dominion.This the government declined and gave them the Scott Act instead; other temperance legislation was side-tracked by the appointment of the Royal Commission two years ago.In the Province of Manitoba a vote had been taken upon the question with the result that 19,000 voted for and 6,000 voted against prohibition, and that first aroused the desire to take such a vote in Ontario vrhich culminated in the passing of a law on Jan.1 to take a vote the result of which was now so well known.This vote of between eighty and a hundred thousand in favor of prohibition was the most strengthening and unifying force that ever came to the ald of the temperance cause.It had caused more thought, more reading, more speaking, more growth in the right direction than any other single thing that had aided the cause.In conclusion, Mr.Spence thought that the leglsiature v.ns fairly representative of its constituents and he was confident that they wouid make and enforce the laws as directed Ly the people.TO-DAY\u2019S MERTING.In view of the splendid triumphs in Manitoba, Prince Edward Island and Ontario, and the possibility of action being taken \u2018to bring on a plebiscite in the Province of Quebec, 1inusual interest centred in the meeting of the Quebec branch of the Dominion Alliance this year.The fifteenth annual meeting was commenced this morning in the Y.M.C.A.rooms with a fair attendance considering the stormy weather.Mr.J.R.Dougall, the president, in a few opening remarks, said that the present time was most auspicious.There was nothing in the attitude of the Quebec Government, nothing in the attitude of the City Council to encourage temperance workers, but over the Dominion as a whole there had been great advance, Justifying the hope that the object for which they were working was nearer reallzation than it had ever been before.This should act as a stimulus to greater effort, and it was especially desirable that young blood should be introduced to give a new energy and importance to the work.Mr.S.Fisher, ex-M.l>».P., spoke effectively upon the need for a study of the law as it exists by a strong executive, with a view to the introduction of amandments from time to time.He be- Leved that this executive, If it were strong and representative, could do better work and be a more effective force than the holding of hig meetings, which were difficult to organize, and which could only be effectual when a definite object could be put before them.The executive, in studying the law for the purpcze of having it amended.were brought into contact with the Legs sla- ture.The members of the Legislature were men as they were.There was a way of dealing with men to effect your desire, and there was a way of approaching the Legislature which had the effect of putting it against vou.and there would only be struggle amd little accomplishment.In this Province of Quebec, the representatives of the people were probably stil stronger than the temperance workers, but the last session proved that the Quebec [egis'ature was amenable to reason in (he premises, and were willing to listen to proper repre- sentatioms.This levislative work was while he was not averse to meetings if thev could be properly organized, he thought close attent'on to the laws, with a view to have them amended, was where this organization would tell most effectually.There was, for example, the law in Brome County which charged a Man Who sd liquor for medicinal purposes, $125 a year.This was absurd, as well as dangerous, because as no man who merely sold the liquor for meicinal purposes, could make a profit out of the business there was the temptation for a different kind of man to take out a lcense, and, to make a profit, sel it for other purposes.Then, again, there wis a law which made it illegal to dell liquor at fairs in Local Option or Scott Act counties, but there was no law by which the man so selling could be at once arrested.The President expressed the desire for close connection of the county al- liances with the executive in Montreal.4 the strongest the executive could do, and: [RS 2e

said one to the other just before they were out of hearing.There was that of consciousness in his tone which betrayed that he thought his own accents and choice words were well worthy her attention.iza turned her back to the direction in which the strangers had gone, thus covering the spare man to whom she was talking from their backward glances.Bates, who was looking up at her face with his heart-hunger in his eyes, saw 2 look of contempt for the passing remark flit across her face, and because of the fond craving of his own heart, his sympathy, strangely enough, went out to the young man who had spoken, rather than to her sentiment of contempt.The angel of human loves alone could tell why John Bates loved this girl after all that had passed, but he did love her.And perceiving now that she had told what she had to tell, he turned his mind to that something that lay on his mind to say to her.With the Burden of the thought he rose up again from his rude seat, and he held up his head to look at her as with effort ; she was so tall that he still must needs look up.\u2018All's said that need be said, Sissy, between us two.\u2019 His voice was almost hard because he would not betray his wistfulness.\u201cYe have chosen your own way o' life, and I will na raise a cry to 0 If I could shape ye to my pleasure, I see now I'd make a poor thing of it.Ye can do better for yourself if\u2014if\u2019\u2014his square jaw seemed almost to tremble-\u2014\u2018i£ ye'll have a heart in ye, lassie.Forgive me if I seem to instruct ye, for I've no thought in me now that I could make ye better if 1T tried.\u2019 He stopped again, and she saw his weak frame moving nervously ; she thought it was for want of breath.\u2018You're awfully ill, Mr.Bates,\u2019 she said, in dulness repeating words that she seemed to have got by heart.Her stupid pity stung him into fur-' ther speech.\u2018Oh, lassie, it's not because I'm fond of ye that I say it, for what does it matter about me, but because of all the men in the world that love women, It's God's voice through them to you ; and (although I can't rightly.frame words) because God set men and women in families, and gave them to have affections, I tell ye the soul in which the pride o\u2019 life, or pleasure, or the like o\u2019 that, takes the place of the affections is a lost soul.\u2019 Again his harsh mouth trembled, and the words came with effort.\u2018Sissy Cameron, ye've not known a mother nor a sister, and your father was hard, and I who loved ye was worse than a brute, and I can\u2019t rightly say what I would ; but when I'm gone, look round ye, lassie, at the best women ye know that are wives and mothers, and If ye can\u2019t greet at the things they greet at, and if ye laugh at things they don\u2019t laugh at, and if ye don\u2019t fear to do the things they fear, then, even if your cleverness should make ye queen o' the whole world, God pity ye \u2018Yes,\u2019 Mr.Bates,\u2019 she said, just as she used to when she said the catechism to him and he admonished her.She had listened to him with that dull half-at- tention which we give to good-sounding words when our heart is only alert for something for which we yet wait.She had it firmly in her mind that he was going to say something on which would hang her future fate, that he would either still ask her, in spite of all she had said, to go baek with him, or would tell her that he would not have her now, as the American had done.All her sensibilities lay, as it were, numb with waiting ; she had no purpose concerning the answer she would make Him ; her mind was still full of invective and complaint; it was also full of a dull remorse that might melt into contrition ; either or both must break forth if he said that which appealed to words in her.When Bates saw, however, that the little sermon which he had wrung from his heart with so much pain had not impressed her much, he felt ag if he had never known until then the sharpest pain or sorrow, for although he did not know what he had hoped for, there had been hope in proportion to effort, and disappointment, the acutest form of sorrow, cut him to the heart, He did not moan or bewalil ; that was not his way.He stood holding himself stiffly, as was his wont, and pain laid emphasis on the severe and resolute lines upon his face, for a face that has long been lent as a vehicle for stern thoughts does not express a milder Influence, although the depths of the heart are broken up.She looked at his face, and the main drift of what he had said was inter- ireted by his look ; she had expected \u2018ensure and took for granted that all this was reproof.\u2018I don\u2019t see, Mr.Bates\u2019\u2014her tone was full of bitterness\u2014\u2018that you've got any tall to stand there handing me over as it I was a leper.\u2019 To which he answered angrily, \u2018Bairn, haven't I told you once and again that lake your sin on my own soul ?\u2018Ç A ell, then'\u2014stil! in angry complaint\u2014 ; hat right have you to be looking and talking of me as if nothing was to be \u201cXpécted of me but ill ?cle he believed that it was worse than ; \u201cè5S to speak to her.He drew his [and Over his heavy eyebrows.He \u201c7UEht to himself that he would go home ho that he would start that day or in the di and never see her again.and : e forges: cision he began walking away, TE the word \u2018good-bye\u2019 and all its thin esy, because oblivious of everyone po XCept that thought that he was bis Lor anything but to go and live out when Le in the desolate home.But trom e had got about twenty paces ber he remembered that he b pp had said no farewell, an d turned, looked back, and came to her again, his heart beating Hke a boy's.She stood where he had left her, sullen, with head slightly bent, and tearing the same leaves.Bates recognized her beauty to the full, as much as any other man could have done, but it only hurt bim and made him afrgid.He looked at her, timid as a child, yet manfully ignoring his timidity, he tried to smile to her as he said : \u2019 \u2018Bairn, I may never sep Ye in this world again ; give your old teacher a ss.\u201d Eliza stared, then lent her face to be kissed.She was surprised at the gentleness of his sparing caress, so surprised that when she lifted her head she stood stock still and watched him till he was out of sight, for, driven by the scourge of his own feeling, he went away from her with quick, upright gait, never looking back.; She watched him till he disappeared into Trenholme\u2019s house.When she walked home she did not sob or wipe her eyes or cover her face, yet when she got to the hotel her eyes were swollen and red, and she went about her work heedless that anyone who- looked at her must see the disfigurement ef tears, (To be continued.) CHILDREN'S CORNER.JENNIE'S FIVE DOLLARS AND THE WORLD'S FAIR.(By Mildred C.Watkins.) When alone she threw herself face downward in the sand, for she had fled to a quiet nook on the beach, and dazed and bruised she repeated it all word for word, all about \u2018those Farleys,\u201d while the tears she was sure would not jell again soon, rushed hot and angry to her eyes.Ah! the hint of it alt was the truth of it all; the truth, at least, of the past and present ; but clinching her hands she said to herself, \u2018It shant come true ; the boys shant be \u2018\u201c\u2018clods\u2019 ; we shant be \u2018\u2018\u2019drudges\u2019\u2019 counting our years by \u2018\u2018cans of fruits and oalico quilts\u2019 ; we shant, we shant.\u2019 When Mr.Farley told Jennie one day soon after her return, \u2018One thing your trip done for you, child, it loosened up your tongue wonderful ; it goes faster now than the creek does over Jumpin Rapids.\u2019 Instead of looking hurt and ceasing to chatter, Jennie jumped up and kissed him with a hearty \u2018Thank you, ! was so afraid it would be like the old stagnant pond.\u2019 The family enjoyed her accounts of everything.Jim listened with a real glow of interest as she told of a warship she had seen, and even Ham Black, the hired man, stopped eating something and asked questions between his swallows of buttermilk.Sallie Armentrout\u2019s month not being out she was another listener, for to the other .unsophisticated Farleys it had never ocourred that Ham and Sallie should not join in any conversation at the table, \"Twas at the table Jennie put forth her best efforts ; nobody guessed how, for as the youn girl swept and dusted, peeled fruit\u2019 an stirred.preserves, ghe planned the diner, bréfkfäst aÿd supper sublets to talk about.Mrz.Farley spent not half the thought in planning her daily dishes.Nor did anyone guess the thrill ef vie- tory she felt whem her father, reminded by one of her stories, told a happening when he was in the war ; nor that she uttered a little prayer of thanksgiving the night they did not get up from supper, each one as he finished, but that, pushing back their plates, they actually got into a heated argument as to whether the Fair should have been at New York, Chicago or Washington.That was the object point of her campaign, the Fair; she had been roused by Dr.White to interest in the Fair, and stung by Mrs.Graham that the \u2018Far- leys\u2019 should know as much as the city people about this great coming event; and all her tactics were arranged in her mind.I think Jennie would have sacrificed ten years of her life to have the \u2018opportunity to see the Exposition, but her wildest hopes did not reach that igh.She could, it is true, have kept her position at Beach Hotel, with some harder work added ; and she knew thirty dollars could be turned aver on a farm and increased, but it was hardly a temptation, for even if the home folks had agreed, as she was sure they wouldn't, it was the home folks, not the Fair, her heart was set on, to make untrue Mrs, Graham\u2019s prophecy aboui them, Not on herself, but on them the money should be spent, and very carefully was her one solitary bill leid out.Having learned to ask questions, she found that papers would be the best investment to give subjects of conversation as well as to gain information about the Fair, and into papers went her money.After the papers commenced their weekly visits, three days of the week were the ones that the mail must be sent for, and Monday was known as the day the \u2018Companion\u2019 came, and 20 on.Mrs, Farley grumbled a little sometimes that she couldn\u2019t get the table set, the men sat around it so long, but she, too, enjoyed hearing the childrens tell what they thought about the adventures they read ; she remembered stories her grandfather had recounted, #tories of bears and wild-cats, and even of Indians, for his grandfather had fought with Indians.To Jennie there crept the exultant feeling that her folks could talk and talk interestingly ; she began to lese her shamed feeling that only city people could \u2018converse,\u2019 for those tea-table chats were just as delightful, i#® not so elegant, as those of \u2018Table No, 12.\u2019 To return, however, to that first tims they lingered after supper and discussed the proper place for the Fair ; some asserted New York the biggest place, some Chicago, and some Washington ; at last somebody, Jennie probably, mentioned the geography as a reference.A geography was found and the disputed point settled, and naturally other things were read up in the geography ; for Jennle had picked up some items of information concerning some of the buildings and their exhibits.It was wonderful to the children that a geography was \u2018a book to read in or talk about\u2019 ; from that hour geography took on a new dignity and interest in their.eyes, and their teacher was heard to remark : \u2018I feel really encouraged about those Farley children, they have taken hold of geography and history in such a surprising way ; they used to be intolerably dull in those two studies, not stupid children either.\u2019 (To be eontinued.) .Prepared by Dr.dQ, Ayer § Cow Lowell, Mass, DAILY STEPS UPWARD.TUESDAY, JANUARY 80.Yet the Chrlet if there, thongh we see him not, Butonly when sorrow lowers Wildest, we feel through the hollow dark A suapge warm in ours.Psul H.Hayne.Thou art near O Lord.\u2014Ps.cxix.151.If I may bat touch the garment he wears, But touch bis robe\u2019s hem as I kneel, These wounds from stoning: of pliiless years, That Instant nearness will heal | Laura Sanford.rs 1 came across, the other day, a little \u2018book, out of which I read a few sentences.I read the title page and it was this, \u2018Hiram Goff, a shoemaker by the grace of God ;\u2019 then I read the last page, and it was stated that when this man died they put on his tombstone that \u2018which he had requested, \u2018Hiram Goff, a shoemaker by the grace of God.\u2019 I looked to see what was in the middle of the book, and I read this, that a young stripling of a minister who had just come to be pastor in the town, went down to talk with Hiram because he had heard that he was a spiritual man, and he said, \u2018Mr.Goff, and Mr.Goff said, \u2018Don\u2019t call me Mr.Goff.Call me Hiram.\u201d \u2018Well, Hiram,\u2019 sald the minister, \u2018I have come to talk with you about the things of God, and I am very glad that a man can be in a humble occupation and yet be a godly man.\u2019 The shoemaker stopped and looked up at him and said, \u2018Don\u2019t call this occupation humble.\u2019 The minister thought he had made a mistake, and he sald : \u2018Excuse me, I dldn\u2019t mean to reflect on what you do for a living.\u2019 The man replied : \u2018You didn\u2019t hurt me, but I was afraid you might have hurt the Lord Jesus Christ.I believe the making of that shoe is just as holy a thing as your making a sermon.I believe that when I come to stand before the throne of God he is going to say, \u2018What kind of shoes did you mgke down on earth ¥ And he might pick out this very pair in order to let me look ai them in the blazing light of the great white throne ;

BUILDING SUGGESTED FOR THE ST.ANTOINE STREET MISSION.Welcome Hall Mission is nearly two years old.The report of the work will be read with interest.How the mission originated is described as foillows:\u2014 A number of young men connected with one of our city churches felt that there was need.for Christian work which would reach the crowds of non- church-goers who in the evenings throng the western section of St.Antoine street and other streets of that neighborhood.After full consideration, the premises now known as \u2018Welcome Hall,\u2019 247 St.Antoine street, was leased, and fitted to Suit the requirements of the work.The first subscription for this purpose was received on April 27, 1892.Everything was then pushed through as rapidly as possible, and on Sept.13 of the same year, the hall was finally opened.The report continues: .The mission was at first entirely dependent on the voluntary assistance which it received from members of the churches in the neigborhood.During winter of 1892-93 good results were thus obtained.As the work developed, however, it became apparent that the services would be required of some person in thorough sympathy with the cause and able to give his entire time and attention to it.In accordance with this decision, the present secretary, Mr.J.W.Ridgeway, was appointed.He entered upon his duties on April 13, 1863.It was at the same time thought advisable to place the work on an entirely undenominatioral basis.On May 9 à meeting of friends and supporters was held, and the mission re-organized on these lines.The model Y.M.C.A.constitution was adopted with but few alterations, the most important of these being the admission of women as members.By the terms of this constitution not more than one-third of the directorate \u201cbelong to any one denomination.At that meeting thirteen gentlemen were elected as a board of directors.The work naturally divides itself into departments, and we have pleasure in - reviewing briefly the results of the past year.EVANGELISTIC DEPARTMENT.Religious meetings of an attractive character have been held every Sunday evening, at 8.15, throughout the Year.These gatherings, under the blees- ing of God, have not only been instrumental in leading many into the Christian life, but have also been the means of building up and strengthening;others who are already professed Christians.This department has always been the leading feature of the institution, and we feel that we have much cause for thankfulness at what has already been accomplished.READING ROOM AND GYMNASIUM.The hall is open every week-day afternoon, and Monday, Wednesday, Friday .and Saturday evenings as a reading room.A library of over two hundred volumes, twenty leading magazines.and journals and the daily papers are open to the free use of the public.Games are also provided, such as checkers, chess, crokinole, etc.There has been an average attendence of 38 each evening.A large two-story carriage factory in the rear of the hall has been fitted up as a gymnasium, and men\u2019s and boys classes are held every Monday, Wednesday amd Friday evenirg, under tha lead- ershin of Mr.J.O.Richardson.On Saturday evenings a class for girls is conducted by Miss C.Richardson.The directors feel that \u2018this department mer.ts better accommodation than we have \u2018hitherto been able to etve it.On Saturday evenings the Montreal Penny Savings Bank meets in the hall and is attended by large numbens of both adults and children.Every Monday afternoon between three and five o'clock, about ten young ladies, known as the \u2018Whatsoever League,\u2019 meet in the hall to teach sewing to girls whio have not the opportunity of learning elsewhere.Some of the young ladles visit the hospitals and poor families in the meighborhood, and endeavor to relieve any distress which they may find.The clothing made is sold at the cost of the materials, or in cases of want Eiven away.NEEDS OF THE MISSION.Experience has shown that the work of the mission could be greatly enlarged and its usefulness much increased if a suitable building rould be provided.The library at resent consists of about two hundred volumes, and it ts very desirable that these should be augmented by at least one thousanil more of the kind wihich ere attractive and helpful to young men and boys.We commend these neers to the consideration of our friends.The alm of the directors is to make the hall am agreeable Tesort in which the youth of the neighborhood may spend their leisure hours profitably, rather than mn the street or in other places of temptation.er ° THEIR FINAL MEETING.MEMBERS OF THE ROAD COMMITTEE SAY ; PLEASANT THINGS The Road Committee held its final meeting yesterday, Ald.Prefontaine presiding.The account for that piece of \u2018Rock- ledge\u2019 sidewalk opposite the corner of St.Lambert Hill and St.James street, was crdered to be paid in full, \u2018because it replaced an old permanent sidewalk.\u2019 It was decided to instruct the City Surveyor to remove the fence and level off the ground at the corner of Wind- gor and £t.James streets.pending the expropr:ation of the land from the Grand Trunk, a sub-committee to see Mr.Seargeant at once and make the necessary arrangements.Certain lands belng meeded if that por- ton of Verdun to be annexed is to have flcod protection, it was decided to notify the proprietors there to come to the City Hall and make an amicable settlement with the city.It is expectel that the persons interested will domate the land required.A petition to widen Jacques Cartier street was referred to the assessors in order to ascertalm if a majority in number and value -have signed.Then Ald.Prefontalne dellvered a valedictory.It was their last meeting.He wished to testify to zeal of the members, whose faithful devotion had been of such great service, etc.\u2018Three mem- > Ps © REPRO ES eye an We ae Lea ue 0 cing 0o bers of the committee had thought proper not to offer themselves for re-elec- tlon (Ald.Wilson, A.Dubuc and Griffin).Had they persisted in the other course, he felt sure that they would have been re-elected, so highly were their services valued by the citizens.Had they been returned they would have been re-elected on the Road Committee, or proposed Board of Works, he knew.If reserved for the Road Chairmanship he would very much regret the Joss of three such able members.He could only express the hope that the three new members would follow im the footsteps of those retiring, so far as earnestness and devotion to the city\u2019s interests were concerned.Ald.Wilson testified to the cordiality always existing between the members of ithe committee and thanked his confreres for thelr courtesy and kindness to him.Ald.Griffin said he had never met a better chairman than Ald.Prefentaine.He a'so thanked the members for thelr kindness.Ald.Dubuc said he had never supposed when he entered that committee that he would get along so well.Mr.Bariow, in Mr.St.Geqrge's ab- gence, testified on the behalf of the department to the harmony that prevailed between the committee and the staff.The meeting then adjourned.\u2014_\u2014\u2014_- FAY MILLS ON METHODS.\u2018In à series of papers on \u2018The Evan- gelistio Church,\u2019 the Rev.B.Fay Mills says: A pastor said in a meeting a little while ago he did not believe in the Salvation Army.1 certainly believe in the gpirit in which they work, but there is nothing the Salvation Army ever attempted to do in saving lost men and women, the Church cannot do better if it will.The thing needed is the organized church of Christ, with the same spirit, willing to \u2018do exactly that same work, and whenever we try we do it with an even greater measure of success.The same way with trying to reach the outcast and lead them to Jesus Christ.This minister seemed to be very much grieved.He said he did not believe in the Salvation Army because they cast discredit on the regular church of Christ.He sald, \u2018Very close to my church there was a big board fence, and they gained permission to paint a big sign om it that said, \u2018If you want to get saved, come down to the Salvation Army Barr 8 to-night at half-past eight.\u2019 I think there was probably some reason for painting it there.I would not have complained of it myself.Perhaps you have never found it out, but it is trhe, that people will come to your church 300 nights in a year.If you had your church open every night in a week there would be more people come to your church nightly than to your regular prayer meeting.People ought to understand that they have no other busl- ness except to attend to the work of God.Bethany Church hes forty-five regular meetings, I think, every week.Moody\u2019s church in Chicago has thirty- two meetings every week.I knew a church in the country that had fifteen meetings every week.1 think you could break up all the worldliness in your church if you not only let the people \u2018take time to be holy\u2019, but did not give them time for anything else.I do not mean to have every meeting for all: classes, but to have something going on all the time.There is another thing, give them continual opportunity to confess Christ openly.One of the pastors of New York, until Mr.Moody was there, never asked people to confess Christ in his meetings.Mr.Moody urged him to try it, and he tried it, after the Sunday morning service, and thirty people were led to Christ He wasted forty years in which he might have been leading people openly to confess Christ.I know a pastor of a church who invites people to join the church after every service.He says, \u2018Is not there somebody who wants to join the church?It is a Presbyterian church, and used to be a very formal one.Every Sunday morning he says, \u2018There is to be a meeting of the session over in this little room and anybody wanting to join the church may confer with us about it.\u201d He has received over 400 in two years.Some say it was that repeated invitation that led them to decide for Christ.Some of us say, \u2018If there is anybody that wants to be examined in order to join the church, he may come before the committee at the prayer meeting next Wednesday night.\u2019 They come and we examine them, and then next Sunday we projorni their names to the congregation, end take a week to think about it, and than vote upon it, and keep them waiting in suspense.I would like to gather peuple into the church just as soon as they are converted, and to say, \u2018If you mean to serve God, will you come and be baptized?I Delleve the Apostles\u2019 method ought to be good for all sorts of meetings.An inquiry meetin every Monday night is a fine thing.Suppose you Êhave twenty workers in the church, and every one says, \u2018I will try to bring somebody to my minister every Monday night\u2019 The boys bring the boys, and the girls bring the girls, and sometimes.the girls bring the boys, and the wives bring their husbands.They say to them, \u2018Won't you just come and talk to our minister.He is very pleasant and would like to see you.\u2019 There should be two rooms, of course, and in the room outside have some of your best workers and in the inside room have your pastor, and have the people go in one by one.You can do more if a person comes to you in three minutes, than in three hours if you go to his house and talk\u2019 to him about Christ.If you go to see him, he will likely repel you.\u2018There is one thing more In methods; that is, in taking care of the results.Have godmothers and godfathers in the church.I know one church where they had eighty godmothers and godfathers.Just as soon as anybody joined the church, that person was assigned to one of the eighty.They went to see him that week, and sent certain other people to see him.They saw that he came to the soclal and devotional gatherings, They had charge of that individual for two months, and every week they made a report to the pastor how that individual was getting on.\u2014\u2018Advance.\u2019 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2014

Jan.27\u2014Many other people try with varied success to entertain this wearied fin de siecle European audience; but really there is no other showman fit to be mentioned on g level with young Willlam of Germany.He unites a fine dashing genius for novel dramatic sensations and effecte, and he has a pretty sentiment of his own.Considered from this point of view nothing could have b more admirable than this weck\u2019s sudden coup.In four days the whole drama was over.With splendid swiftness one act succeeded another, from Major Moltke's appearance at Frledrichs- ruhe, with a case of old Imperial wine, which witty Eugene Richter says, was Lachrymae Caprivi, to yesterday's exceedingly effective curtain of the Kaiser in the railway station taking off his helmet to kiss the venerable Bismarck adieu.It was all very well worth seeing, and Europe was glad to suspend all other operations and look on.The performance does not at all mean that Caprivi is going to fall or the political course which he and the m- peror have been steering during the past four years will be any whit altered.But the German people, especially in the south, had grown sulky, and from mere persistency in sullenness were getting out of hand.Now, by a single happy stroke, the malcontents, for the most part, have been put in good humor again.The Emperor has smoothed down the old man\u2019s ruffled feathers, induced him to come to Berlin, pald him unique royal honors, and taken him {n his arms, so that all the world should see.The spectacle has powerfully appealed to German sentimentality \u2018through the length and breadth of the empire.It has helped William and helped Germany.Diplomatic observers are probably right in saying that the whole thing was due to Willlam\u2019s private information that Bismarck is not likely to live much longer, and his feeling that if he failed to Secure a reconciliation Bismarck\u2019's grave would mark a permanent and dangerous chasm between him and a large section of his subjects.Those who saw the Prince agree that hé looked extremely aged and walked feebly.It is taken for granted on all sides now that the Reichstag will be more manageable and the Russian commercial treaty will be passed without much difficulty, always assuming that Russia is sincere in desjring it to become a law.- THE SERVIAN AFFAIR.Though such a shabby debauchee and gambler, Milan, who spends most of his time approving himself, still seems to keep a clear head for politics.He: patched up under the name of.a co promise, a non-partisan Cabinet, what is really.a military, g@vernment, ruling solely bx the support of the army.[I seems clear that Milan and his son will have a fight to keep the Obreno- vitch dynasty on the throne, but this is of no importance to anybody so long ds Austria on one side and Russia on the other are not drawn into the squabble.THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION.Excitement over Bismarck probably also explaing in part the marked apathy with which the English public has received the news that the hot-headed young Khedive has broken out in a new place.There is the added reason that the English have taken his measure pretty well and take it for granted that Lord Cromer will spank him and put him to bed whenever he becomes too obstreperous.This indolent confidence is quite justified by events, for Abbas has been forced to eat humble pie publicly with distressing promptness.It is understood in regions in touch with the Foreign\u2019 Office, that if he gives any further trouble, the Sultan will be asked to depose him and put his one- Year younger brother, Mohammed Ali, on the Khedival throne instead.It may be, Indeed, that this will be the upshot of the present complication if, as I hear, Lord Cromer\u2019 is\u2019 going to find the already published apology insufficient and insist on Maher Pasha\u2019s unconditional dismissal, The Parisian papers are backing the Khedive up, but in a less spirited style than upon a former occasion.The action of a commander of a French force on the Niger In seizng Timbuc- too is creating tremendous enthusiasm in Paris, not unmixed with certain reservations.No one knows just whom Timbuctoo belonged to before France grabbed it, but it is vaguely understood that the Moslem world will resent its invasion and capture, and that holding ft will involve France In African difficulties compared with which the Algerian adventure-was a mere nothing, There seems to be filtering through the French mind, moreover, a perception that Egypt is really a Mohammedan question, and that if the English rule on the Nile be upset, native riots will be direoted against.the French quite as much as against the English.FRENCH EXPEDITION TO MADAGASCAR.There is nothing new about the projected French expeditiaon to Madagascar, and the longer it is deferred the more tranquil the Franco-English relations remain.It may surprise the ordinary men of the world, but there is no other spot on earth in which the religious populations of England, and particularly the Nonconformists, are so deeply interested as Madagascar.The island has been for many years the most important and fruitful field of English missionary endeavor.It contains 1,300 Congregational churches, planted largely by the British, and many of these had martyrs in earlier days who are still plously remembered.France might annex ail the rest of the African continent and not stir these English mission-loving folk so violently as by a single armed attempt to advance the pretensions of Cathelicism in Madagascar.The perplexing announcement is made that Thomas Hardy is to collaborate en a novel with the Hon.Mrs, Henniker, who has written two or three excessively commonplace society novels, As a daughter of the late Ldérd Hough- ton, the lady has a certain hereditary claim to politeness at the hands ef literature, but the whole reading world will be entitled to be annoyed at a master like Hardy devoting hls great talents to an (incongruous partnership of this kind.It is pleasanter to believe the announcement a mistake, SS Y.M.C.A.EXTENSION WORK.Toronto, Jan.27.\u2014Mr.D.A.Budge read a very practical paper on mission extension work before the Y.M.C.A.convention here.He said that just as surely as a church will stagnate in proportion as she neglects to cultivae the missionary spirit, so will an association deteriorate which fails to catch the missionary spirit, when once its eyes are open to the awful needs of young men beth at home and abroad.He quoted, from the last year-book, that the associations in the United States and Canada numbered 80 as- soclations, and of this total only 75 were reported to have done anything in extension work.The amount ralsed was $8,400.The difficulty seems to be an idea that associations are doing all that they can, and that to branch out into extension work weuld reduce the income for ordinary expenses.Experi- .ence, Mr.Budge considered,\u201d showed that extension efforts developed new men, and Indirectly increased the income for ordinary work.The extension efforts of the Montreal association during the past flve years was given as an inspiration -to other

encouraging.Mr.Budge closed by showing how associations could raise substantial sums for special extension work by the systematic collection weekly or monthly of contributions of five or ten cents.\u2014 NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.(Special to the \u2018Witness.\") Ottawa, Jan.29.\u2014The Governor-Gene- ral gave another dinner party on Saturday evening.The Hon.Archie Gordon acted as

Cornwall, Omt, Jan, 27.\u2014Death has been bu In his mection during the past few weeks and hap gathered in'%9 rich harvest, Among his latest victims is Mr, Cell McDonald, who was bern on the old McDonaid farm, east of this tewn, in 1818, and.served with the mi- litla in the droublegome t#hmes of 1837-38 The deceased was -à son of ithe late Alexander McDonald, a U.E.Loyalist.He had travelled éxtenéively in his youth and spent-ueveral yeard \u2018in the gold fields of Australie.He was 4 Presbyterian.Rey.Dr.McNish om- 1; ONTARIO.(Special Correspondence of \u2018Witness.\u201d) Toronto, Jan.26.\u2014The Howland memorial scheme has taken definite farm, gnd will undoubtedly be a success.The plan, briefly, is to raise $25,000 to be devoted to the benevolent schemes in which he had his heart.The promoters have wisely imited the number to two\u2014(.) the St John\u2019s Ward mission, and (2.) the Mimi- co Industrial School.Each of these has now many warm friends, some of whom are wealthy enough to see that the project does not fail for want of funds.The \u2018Mission\u2019 had its origin in Mr.W.H.Howland\u2019s desire to infuse some zest! and comfort into the life of the poor people who are huddled together in one of the city\u2019s \u2018slums.\u2019 The middle portion of St.John's Ward has for two generations been the resort of the poor, the vile, and the outcast.Some years ago Mr.Howland and a few personal friends furnished funds for the erection of a small rough cast building in which a meeting of some kind was held every night in the week.The \u2018talks\u2019 from the dais of the Httle mission house were not all reli- glous, but they were all helpful to the poor people who were freely invited, and who in steadlly increasing numbers accepted the invitation.The majority of the audiences were poor women, to many of whom these meetings were the only oases in the desert of life.No wonder they honored Mr.Howland by their a:- tendance as mourners at his funeral\u2014the only kind of honor they could confer on him.It is now proposed to clear the new \u2018mission\u2019 house\u2014a substantial brick building\u2014of debt and make provision for permanent services of various kinds therein.: Sooner or later this will be done, d the memory of the whole- souled under will be more aptly perpetuated in this way than by any portrait or statue, however costly.Net unlikely, a suitable portrait will also be there to adorn the walls of the little meeting room.The second memorial to his memory is to be a gymnasium for the Mimico Industrial School.With his splendid physique, Mr.Howland could not fail to be in hearty sympathy with \u2018muscular Christianity.\u2019 None understood boy nature better than he or more fully realized the futility of trying to reform young criminals by mere restraint.He was a firm believer in the utility of physical exercise in the form of athletic sports and amusements, and the present intention of the committee is simply to carry out a long cherished wish of Mr.Howland'\u2019s, namely, to supply a plare of physical exercise and amusement for the boys at the Industrial School.They work there at various useful callings, but in winter this is not sufficient, and the gymnasium when built, will be quite as much of a boon to the boys as a monument to thelr venerated friend.The Mimico School has expanded beyond all expectation, and has proved mrore successful than the most sanguine ever expected.What possibilities of future expansion may yet show themseives will depend largely on tha community at large, to whom Mr.How- land by this experiment pointed the way, butsfor the present the urgent need.in the way of a complete rounding out is the gymnasium now proposed.Mayor Kennedy has already proved to the new city council that he has a strong will of his own.and also that he has a fair share of Irish wit, which he has honestly come by.The \u2018new brooms\u2019 in their desire to sweep very clean proposed A SWEEPING REDUCTION in the salaries of the civic officals, and called on the Police Commissioners, and the two school boards to do likewise.One school board has treated the request with indifference; the other has not vet met, and the po¥ce commissioners have taken the subject en delibere, where it is likely to stay for a while.Meantime the city solicitor has pronounced it beyond the competence of the Council to repeal salary bylaws by resolutions, and the reduction, if it is to be effected at all, must be brought about in a way more consonant to the ordinary modes of procedure.It is not improbale that some reduction of both staff and salaries may be made, but it is quite unlikely that anything will be done suddenly or without the fullest discussion.In all probability this course will in ithe long run be the popular, as it is \u2018the becoming one of a great corporation \u2018to pursue toward its ployees.The subject of UNIVERSITY EXTENSION fs once more before the public, this time im connection wfth the provincial university.The senate of that institution has heretofore given it the cold shoulder, but at a late meeting it adopted a report in which a scheme of university extension was outlined, and gave a first reading \u2018to a statute framed to carry the scheme into operation.The proposal is te recognize by means of ex- amimatioms and certificates \u2018extemsion\u2019 work similar to that recognized for many years by the universities gf Oxford and Cambridge, provided that ne part of the expense of either teaching or examining, or even of clercal work, be charged to the erdinary revenues of the university, The management of the work will be entrusted ito a standing committee, and as the heads of both University and Victoria colleges will be on ft the publie will have the most ample guarantee that a fair standard will be kept up.It vemains to be seen how far à response to this academical concession may be evoked from the public, but it is quite certain that some \u2018extension\u2019 work will present itself here and there for recogmitien.The young men's Christian associations and mechanics\u2019 institutes are admirably fitted to become \u2018local centres\u2019 ef instruction, and some of them have been doing just this kind ef work for years, while waiting patl- ently for recognition.Now that there is a prospect of securing it the experiment will be tried next year under more favorable conditions.To the regular university pludent the university examinations dot ag an incentive, and there is nothing surprising in the fact that it is difficult tp get occaX¥onal students to take up \u2018regular courses of instruction without a similar Impulse from without, A new turn has been given to the discussion of _THE COPYRIGHT QUESTTON .by the attempt to interfere with the use of the \"Ontarfo school readers pn the grouhd that passages in them are sub- em- TuEespAY, JANUARY 30, 1894.Te \u2014 ee \u2014 2 TE the Fducation Tiepa-m.-: ( P OT MAY not use scieciope fe 2 0e writers without having vo y oo Lo.os prices for the priviles.|- \u2014 Thompson really des ve.+, himself he shodbd a: one.oo.= Of The wh oe oon, \u2018 tion, ineluding (his ms y.it, mow raised for ihe oo , THE public symipalhy ig ere | vf the Education Iwai +.involved.Na Hayes A D to a single publisher i + the writings of a, ou, ;
