HIS JOYS AND SORROWS.TRIUMPH OF THE HORSE\u2014HOLDS THE PUBLIC IN ITS POWER FOR A WEEK OR TWO PER YEAR.The expressman is gatherinz in his an- pual harvest.Exigency is stronger than by-law.Urgent necessity makes mock of the solemn statute.The law may be good, but the moments are swift and imperious, and it is not contest, but haste that is needed; not an appeal to legality, but the swift and safe housing of the chromo, the parlor clock, the family portraits, and all those sacred things which, aggregated and lovingly set forth, make oi therefore home: ANG beginning of the next month.THIS MEANS TWENTY DOLLARS for an ordinary working day.The ex- pressman is not a monster who delights in inflicting distress upon citizens struggling under the disability of small salaries.He is a citizen himself.He has a wife and children, and in the evenings, when his horse is sleeping the deep sleep of the fatigued, and he himself, pushing the noise and chaffering of the street out of his mind, takes the air on his doorstep, he may be seen dandling the youngest on his knee.In bare justice to the express- man, .WHO SUFFERS GREATLY in public esteem at this season of the year, this statement is made.For every bousewife who is either moving this month or on the first of May, has bad dreams of the expressman.He is heard to say \u2018$2 an hour,\u201d with an inexorable air: he is seen handling the furniture with a slowness of movement which drives the citizen and bis wife to the verge of distraction.The sideboard is regarded with great complacency and coolness.He doubts if it can be got out but if everybody keeps cool, and refrains from looking at the clock, he will make the attempt.When he brings out a chair to the express, he stands on the sidewalk sniffing the spring air with a candid relish.HIS NICE APPRECIATION of the opening buds upon the solltary tree in front of the door is so poignant a distress that the sleeper wakes only to think with a groan that the actuality is even worse than the sub-consciousness imagined.If time could cnly stand still; if all the clocks and bells in the city resolved take the : TS an Fopes, might be endured.Ft is the solemn warning of the alarm clock-\u2014one of those excruciating wedding presents which often wreck marital happiness\u2014which wrings the heart.A GREAT DIFFERENCE NOTICED.It is easy to see that the express horse is a new creature these days.Gentlemen coming down to business through Victoria square cannot have failed to notice the listless air, the drooping head, tbe lack luètre eye which marked the express horse for the past year.His oats were measured to him with a painful nicety, and under the reproachful eye of his master, his health declined.Pray, observe, that he is now neatly groomed and holds his head erect; that the eye beams with hope\u2014\u2014nay, with a distinct triumph, as expressing delight that the pub- Nc is at last in its power.It is all high- lv instructive.The expressman, hurt by the neglect of the world, says \u2018$2 an hour,\u2019 with invincible resolution.etl HE WAS A GO-BETWEEN.Paris, April 27.\u2014It has been discovered taat Felix Fenon, the Anarchist war office ®erk, who was arrested yesterday, was acting a a medium of communication between Anarchists in England and Germany and their friends in~¥rance.He received a large number of lecters daily and the police are enazavoring to trace their origin.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE SAMOAN PROBLEM.THE \u2018TIMES\u2019 THUNDERS.London, April 27.\u2014Thomas F.Bayard, United States Ambassador, said last night when questioned concerning Samoan affairs, that he had not received informa tion of any present or impending negotiations.He spoke with the greatest appreciation of Mr.J.B.Thurston, Governor of Fiji, adding that the presence and counsels of a man of such administrative ability would offer a happy solution of the existing difficulty.The \u2018Times\u2019 says: \u2018Without wishing to question the ability of New Zealand to control the island, we are inclined to doubt whether past experience is of much avail in the complicated Samoan problem.The main difficulty, however, is that Great Britain would be answerable for the actions of New Zealand.Great Britain does not feel especially called upon to play the knight errant in unravelling the tangle of Samoan affairs.\u2019 ear CHICAGO'S SMALLPOX SCOURGE.Chicago, April 27.\u2014The health department officers have declared that small- Dox is epidemic between Ashland ave- Due and Halstead street, and south of pa street.Twenty-two cases have roa discovered within the past twenty- Lar hours.On the recommendation of tie lealth commissioner, the Board of Education has decided to close the pub- I¢ schools for one week.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014e\u2014es OBIT.Bristol, NUH.A + N.H,, April 27.\u2014Ex-Governor Berry died this morning.\u2019 threatened x DEATH OF MR.MICHAEL STEVENSON.Mr.Michael Stevenson, a well-known civic\u2019 employee, didd very suddenly last night from hemorrhage.He was apparently quite well at 9.30 and dead at 10.15.Mr.Stevenson was born in Quebec fifty-seven years ago.He came of an old Scotch family, formerly of Arborath, but for many years settled in Quebec.With a great love for travelling, Mr.Stevenson is said to have circumnavigated the globe three times.He was for three years manager of the John Street Passenger Railway, at Quebec, and for seveu years assistant superintendant of the Montreal Street \u2018Railway.A few years ago he entered the service of the city, residing on the works of {he Road Deparument, rear of 303 Sanguinet street, whence the funeral will take place to-morrow morning at 7.15 to the Dalhousie square depot.Mr.Stevenson leaves a widow and thrée sons and one daughter.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN.An unfortunate error of: the types in Taf the Montreal Women's Council, made \u2018us say \u2018Mrs.Workman addressed the meeting on the proceedings of the Ottawa gathering.\u2019 \u2018The lady who made the interesting address was Mrs.Judge Wurtele.reef CIGAR MACHINES.ACTIONS AGAINST THOSE WHO POSSRSS TH VILLENEUVE AFFAIRS, Actions will be taken to-morrow against saloon-keepers wbo keep the cigar machines made by Mayor Villeneuve and others, in their saloons.The charge will be \u2018keeping gaming devices in their places of business.\u2019 \u2018PHOENIX ARRIVES TO-DAY.THE FIRST SPECIMEN OF OCEAN CONVEYANCE SEEN SINCE _ WINTER SET IN.With flags flying at every available point from stem to stern, the steamship \u2018Phoenix \u2019 steamed proudly into port et nine o'clock this morning.After a long voyage, not altogether devoid of adventure this steamer reached Montreal\u2014the first td have crossed the Atlantic_and arrive at this port this spring.Ta The \u2018 Lake Huron \u2019 is not expected until this evening.\u2019 The \u2018Phoenix\u2019 had no easy time of it in getting through the Gulf, \u2018which was a sea of ice beating backwards and forwards at.the ca aca 0 the win \u2018hem her in-on eve dè Once, however, she was caught and fo over twenty-four hours drifted helplessly with the shifting fleld of ice.' The wind veering round opened up a passage through the ice and Captain Dick ordered on full steam and brought his.\u2019charge into the clear water.The vessel suffered some slight damage from the rude encounters with the winter harvestings of the St.Lawrence.This steamer left Messina, in the Mediterranean, on March 31, and as may be conjectured, the crew were heartily glad to reach port this morning.There was very little excitement at the wharves.\u2014 LIVELY ELECTIONS EXPECTED.It appears that a number of young members of the bar have decided to assert themselves In favor of reforms at the coming elections of officers.They want to send to the council men of their choice who can check what they claim to be the extreme severity of some of against the movement of the general council of the bar for a reduction of professional fees.The junior bar is further credited with the general intention of doing away with the routine views of some of their elders, who, they allege, have had pretty much their own way up to the present time.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MRS.RAYMOND\u2019S BODY FOUND.The body of a woman was found floating in the river this morning near the wharf of the Ross line, by Alexander Brunet and Samuel Gaudnier, men employed on a lumber boat.Later in the day\u2019 the body was identified as that of Mrs.Raymond, of St.Anns, Bellevue, who, while crossing the ice in a sleigh, some time ago, drowned with her child., The body of the child has not yet been recovered.CRIMES AND CRIMINALS.Daniel O\u2019Brien, thirty-four years of age, electrian, of 44 Lagauchetiere street, who was remanded last week on a charge of stealing the horse of Mr.Levine, was brought before Judge Dugas this morning and pleaded guilty.He was remanded eight days for sentence.se tlre FREE COINAGE IN INDIA.London, April 27.\u2014Sir Bernard Samuelson, Liberal member, of Parliament for Oxfordshire, has given notice that on Monday, in the House of Commons, he will ask the government if there is foundation for the report that it is proposed to re-open the mints in India for the free coinage of rupees.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE WEATHER REPORT.(Special to the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Meteorological Office, Toronto, Ont.,April 27.11 a.m.\u2014Following are the minimun Winnipeg, 56; Prince Albert, 36; Toronto, temperatures: \u2014Calgary, 42; Qu\u2019 Appello, 44; 2: Mortreal, 43; Quebec, 44; Halifax, 44.Probabilities for the next twenty-four hours \u2014Fine and warm.Montreal, April 27.Readings by Hearn & Harrison's.Standard day: 23.99.To-day: temperature, max.63; min.43; yesterday: max.84; min.40.MONTREAL, FRIDAY.APRIL 27.1804 FATHER M'OALLENS VIEWS.THE TEMPERANCE CHAMPION | WOULD SEPARATE THE GRO- ! CERY AND THE LIQUOR | BUSINESS.| \u2018I have come to get your opinion ob a temperance question, sir.\u2019 \u2018Then, I am glad, very glad to see you, replied Father McCallen, of St.Patrick\u2019s Church, with a pleasant smile on his cheery face as he shook hands with the representative of the \u2018Witness\u2019 this morning.\u2018And now what new plan has the \u2018Witness\u2019 got up for the cause of temperance?\u2019 asked the vigorous champion, expectantly.\u2019 : |wète doing thélr utmost tor get people db the examiners, and they wigh to.protest.Barometer at rcon to-day: 20.88; yester-.The reporter explained the.situation in \u2018regard to the Christian Endeavor.Society | promise not to buy frôm \u2018grocers who sotd liquor; and so far success had attended théir efforts.To \u2018The great aim of my life,\u2019 said Pather McCallen, with \u2018much earnestness, \u2018Is to | have the liquor business separated from grocery stores.For a long time, with other temperance people, 1 have been doing all I could to accomplish this aim, but as you know we have not been very successful.The aldermen seem to have quite a faculty for allowing all our petitions for the temperance cause to find a fisal resting place in the waste paper basket.Co A \u201cWithout reflection I cannot say what.] think of the new line taken by the Chris tian Endsavor Society, but I can say thi that I am heart and\u2019 soul in any mov ment that can accomplish good in.the temperance cause,\u201d \u20181 tell you this grocery store question is indeed a most serious one and in my cpinion should be first in the minds éf temperance people.All our efforts should be directed at separating liquor and.groceries.If we can only accomplish ££ , the other reforms which we afm at, wili, I am sure, be accomplished in time.\u2019 \u2018l sometimes fear that drunkenneas is on the indrease among women, owing.to this pernicious system.I must say a word on Sunday liquor selling.In my opinion there is an enormous amount ot liquor \u2018sold every Lord's Day; both 4n saloons and groceries.Mind, I do not mean to say that the new chief of the revenue police has not done a great d of good; but the fact cannot be blinke that both men and women who want to get liquor on Sunday can very easily.da so.\u2019 .\u2019 get 0° WO dat ft for a \u201cVehiile | -and then rest for a time; for while we are resting we are losing what we have won.Although we have got little.or nothing from the aldermen, I.helieve in keeping at them.I have an idea that it we ever accomplish the separation we want, it will be the result of personal influence brought to bear upon the aldermen.If we can get \u2018them interested in the matter and get their word of honor to use their influence for us, then the question is sure to be decided In our favor when they are cdlled to vote on the question.\u20181 am indeed greatly interested in this grocery liquor question; as I know so well the evil which results to women of all classes from ît.\u2018So you see,\u201d \u2018he continued, the bright hopeful smile coming back to his face again, \u2018I am as deeply interested in this matter as it ig poseible to be,and I repeat that I am heart and soul in sympathy with all proper movements where temperance is the foundation stone.Let all our efforts first be turned to separating liquor from grocery stores.\u2019 THE ENDEAVOR SOCIETIES AND THE LICENSED GROCERS.\u2014 A united meeting of representatives from the Christian Endeavor Societies of the west end of the city, comprising those of Calvin and Westminster Presbyterian, Calvary Congregationai, and West End Methodist Church, took place last night in the parlors of the West End Methodist Church.The principal business was the receiving of reports from the various committees appointed to carry out the work, regarding the discontinuance \u201cof patronage to the licensed groceries.These reports showed that the work of canvassing for signatures to a pledge embodying the above discontinuance of patronage is being pushed vigorously by the varlous societies, and with mich success, upwards of two hundred persons in these four churches having subscribed their names.: The report of the ladies appointed to visit the licensed grocers and ascertain their views in regard to this.movement, proved .very interesting.They went to them with prayers to God for wisdom of speech, in their hearts, and portrayed the evil cffects of the traffic, showed the Divine disapproval of it, speaking words of wasning to those engaged in a traific which ruins the bodies and souls of their brothers.A list of the temperancs grocers in course of preparation, together with a circular setting forth the principles involved In dealing with licensed houses, will be distributed throughout the city.The clergy of the different Roman Catholic churches in, the vicinity hud beenx} interviewed, and had expressed their sympathy with the present movement, and with all aggressive temperance work, speaking very strongly in favor of reform in the present system of the grocery business.: Several mass meetings are' projected, Chief templay, Bro.A.TDatrns guard, Bro.W.and the agitation is to.be carried on till the trafic in the vile stuff that debases | mankind wherever used.shall be robbed! vf the respectableecloak of the grocery business.To-night, a grand rally of Endeaverers from all parts of the city will be held in the Y.M.C.A.Hall, tn discuss further ! work along these lines.;

but flame can gnaw and eat the heart out of stone and break the solid rock into fragments; and Laporte & Martin's big block at the south cormer of Notre Dame and Seigneurs streets is laid low.It made a goodly blaze.The sky mir- rcred it; the glare made a picture of it in the minds of the sleeping population; there was AN ALARM AT THREE 0'0LOCK thfs motninñe, and a hurrying of feet, and & horrid clanz of bells which murdered rest; and Messrs.Laporte, Martin and Le- febvre, saw, with grief and mortification, their splendid new building in which they took such natural pride, seething in a monstrous furnace, which laughed triumphantly and malevolently at the efforts of the much vaunted water tower.The members of the firm had gone home at twelve o'clock; the watchman had retired to rest.All was well.Something at the back, on the third floor, sprang into life, made a smoke, burst into fame.CRAWLED LIKE A VIPER over the floors, wriggled up the walls and licked ihe pathway with its red tongue as it went; and, reaching the window, announced itself to the horror of Constable Spedding.Too late.The fire chiefs might shout, and the steam engines might pant, and the water, tower hurl an immense force against the building, but the flames shot out their forked tongues, and their hot breath reached the spirits and the oils,and all the interior became a fiery cauldron.The people gathered from far and near.The heavens were painted a various rose and purple; a monstrous glare lit up the whole neighborhood.COSTLY PLAMES, The firemen worked with a will.The water tower played with what seemed to be an immense force; but the combined efforts of the entire brigade could not so much as save a broom handle.The liquor vent vit à shriek and detonation which wrecked a small .house-in- the: ser;

1894.The government chose the wisest course open to them in the matter of taking evidence upon oath in\u2019 the Public Ac- counts- Committeà by accepting without modification the proposals of the Liberal party.8ir Hibbert Tupper moved in the House that the evidence in a certain case be taken pon ôath in committee, although in committee he was the leader of those who opposed that motion when made.by a Liberal member.The premier, too, accepted Mr.Mulock\u2019s bill permanently settling the question, by empowering the committee to administer the oath \u2018whenever they considered it necessary to do so.The government would have acted wisèly had it consented to these proposals looking to a thorough investigntion of the public accounts when first made In committee, but, having made the mistake of resisting them, they are wise in not persisting in it, and have done the next best thing in admitting their error and retrieving it by giving the Opposition all the power they ask.tr The shortest and easiest way out of the trouble over the harbor mastership appointment would be the transier of the duties of the office to the collector or deputy collector of customs and the abolition of the office itself.The fees for the performance of the service, which are, we understand, paid by the seamen, and which therefor fal} upon a class of people not well able to-afford them, might also be abolished.The duties of the office could not be onerous to a customs officer, or at least to the collector, whose duties are generally understood to be almost nil, he beitig for the most part a figurehead, who announces the decision of the sub-collector.The position of collector, when filled, is a mere sinecure for a politician.The duties of the master- ship could, we are informed, be performed by a lad of sixteen.Why two or three thousand dollars should be paid to an officer to perform such duties is beyond the comprehension of any but the politicians who are interested in supporting the spoils system.The objection to this solution of the difficulty is, however, that it would leave Mr.Vanasse in the way of Mr.Robert White's appointment to the collectorship, and it is said that Mr.Vanasse is in a position to make imperative demands upon the government.\u2018 -\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014e\u2014 The interminable.discussion.of the separate school question of Manitoba and the North-West Territories has received been concluded in parliament with the speeches of the premier and the leader of the Opposition.Nothing of importance has been added by the debate to the general information or to the arguments upon the subject, and the only thing made manifest by Sir John Thompson\u2019s speech was that the government has no intention of interfering with the legislation of either Manitoba or the North- West until at least the case of Manitoba has been decided upon by the Judi- clal Committee of the Privy Council, to which it appears, in apite of Archbishop Tache\u2019s opposition, the government has induced some of the interested men of the minority to appeal it, in all probability at the expense of the government itself.The country is as far as ever from the settlement of this vexed question, out\u2019'o! which the \u2018parties are trying to make political capital, and upon which the government is trying to maintain a \u2018masterly attitude of inactivity\u2019 until after the general .elections.that there will be no interference with the legislation -on this subject of Manitoba or the Territories at any time, and that the reference of the question of the power of the Dominion Patliament to interfere is a mere method of delay on the part of the government., amare ret A ee D Rr bad ee It is safe to say.THE MONTREAL THE DIGNITY OF MR.SPEAKER.On the motion of the premier, the House of Commons has passed a vote of censure on the Ottawa \u2018Free Press\u2019 for scandalously, falsely and maliciously U- belling the honor, character and integrity of the Speaker.The article for which the \u2018Free Press\u2019 was thus censured criticised the Speaker's action in preventing Dr.Landerkin from trespassing upon the rules of the House by speaking twice upon one motion, an infraction which he was tempted to commit by an attack upon him made by the Comptroller of Customs, to which he wished to reply.The Speaker called him to order, hut on a motion of a Liberal member, who moved the adjournment of the House, he was enabled to resume his defence.The \u2018Free Press,\u2019 in commenting on this incident, characterized the action of the Speaker as that of a \u2018partisan,\u2019 \u2018subservient\u2019 presiding officer, who \u2018burked free discussion,\u2019 and \u2018applied the gag,\u2019 In order to defend the sensitive nerves of the Thompsonian ministers.The \u2018Free Press\u2019 went further, and, to use the apt expression of the premier, \u2018fortified\u2019 its attack upon the Speaker by commenting upon his having appeared as a party speaker at a political meeting held to nominate a Conservative candidate to the local legislature of Ontario.\u2018A partisan heeler\u2019 in a local election campaign was the phrase which the \u2018Free Press\u2019 used to describe the action of the First Commoner of Canada in taking part in an election.That this attack amounted to a grave breach of the privileges of parliament, and was a gross assault upon the dignity of the House, no one will deny, and the House could hardly refuse to say so when called upon, no matter what they thought of the dignity of the proceeding.Especially could a loyal majority not refuse to stand together to condemn a paper which had so rudely pointed out that Oppositionists were dally insulted in parliament and personally accused of disloyalty and treason without any notice being taken by Mr.Speaker, who was so justly alert to similar assaults upon\u2019 the honor of ministerial members.Now that the House has relieved itself, the public will judge of what the condemnation amounts to.there are times when a Speaker - of the ly but politely, taken to task by the press.No matter how unfair the Speaker of the House might be, the party he should befriend would certainly not condemn him.Neither would the other party, unless it was prepared to impeach him.Should it do that, the question would become a party one, and would be decided after any but a judicial fashion.It would be better to leave the trial and the punishment fgr all such offences as that of the \u2018Free Press\u2019 to the ordinary courts, which are open to those who are libelled, whether they be inside or outside of parliament, and whether they occupy the position of First Commoner or that of the humblest and most unenfranchised of citizens.Parliament is constitutionally the highest court in the country, but it has divested itself of nearly all its judicial functions, and it could, with no loss of that dignity which it values, divest itself of this one of judging between itself and its members and those who attack its and their privilege.The ordinary courts have been getting themselves into trouble by defending themselves arbitrarily against similar attacks, and it is safe to say that hereafter the judges of this country will, if they decide to take action against those who wrongfully acouse them of | partiality in the discharge of their duties, proceed in the regular way by libel, which is open to them, as to all other citizens.Judges and parliaïnents who condemn those who criticise them without taking evidence as to the grounds of the criticism and the justice of the attack will not be sustained in doing.so by public opinion in a democratic country.No one should be condemned without first having been heard.rs THE.FINANCIAL SITUATION, Deputations : from various Boards of Trade in Canada are seeking Ottawa to take part in the consideration of the new Insolvency Act.In this connection it may be interesting to note one or two of the probable effects of the act upon trade should it pass.The lower provinces are likely to experience.a temporary increase of failures between the passage of the act and its becoming law.A large number of preference claims will have to be dealt with, and when creditors begin to protect themselves against the new provisions a good many firms will find themselves er \u201carrassed.It Is not improbable, also, that the act will The public will also.have its own views as to whether or not\u2019 DAILY WITNESS.lead to a number of failures on the part of those who will find it advantageous to avatl themselves of its provisions, and to this class all the provinces will contribute.It ts not, of course, to be understood that an epidemic of failures of serious extent is to be anticipated, but only that an increase is likely to be noted ; and we draw the attention of business men to this phase of the question.While the tariff and the Insolvency Act remain unsettied there will be some disturbance ip the commerce of the Dominion.Once there is a general insolvency act in force it will, if its provisions are at all satisfactory, greatly facilitate interprovincial trade.The question of composition and discharge is one of the most important points in connection with insolvency legislation, the general feeling, both among bankers and business men, being that the minimum 02 thirty-three and a third percent is altogether too low ; and Mr.Hague's suggestion of sixty-six and two-thirds is more likely to meet general approval.In some quarters composition aud discharge on .any terms are strongly opposed, but \u2018this is perhaps going too far, as there are cases where the creditors generally would be greatly benefited by making a composition with their debtors instead of allowing estates to be sacrificed.The bank statement for March came to hand last Saturday too late for notice that week.Although usually an interesting month, the statement for March contained no important changes beyond an increase of nearly $3,000,000 in current \u2018oans and $76,000 in overdue debts.This increase in current loans was, no doubt, due to discounts for remittance to Great Britain and for funds required to withdraw goods from bond in anticipation of tariff changes.Compared with \u2018March, 1883, the current loans show a decrease of $2,600,000 and the note circulation a decrease of $2,730,000.The whole \u2018statement indicates the quiet condition of trade.-In view of the opening of navigation, it is unfortunate for Canada that Mr.\u2018Gardiner did not see his way to remove the British embargo on Canadian cattle, as it was generally anticipated he would last \u2018week, the matter being again postponed for further information.to be hoped that this delay is only temporary, as unless prompt action is taken House of Commons\u2019 should be, not, rudd the removal Will be of\u2018 little value this | season either to the Scottish farmer or Canadian shipper.The delay in settling the tariff of the United States continues to have a depressing effect on business there, which, of course, is reflected to a greater or less extent in this country, and a further disturbing element is the introduction into the platform of the Republican party of the silver question.On the other hand, Congress seems at least to be in a fair way to bringing the tarift debate to a close.As indicating the state of the New York money market, we quote the \u2018Commercial Bullelin\u2019 of yesterday : \u2018Call loans on stock collateral were made at one percent.Offerings of funds were large by both banks and private bankers, with idle balances, and commercial houses are frequently seen as lenders in the market.Time loans continued easy, with no important increase in the demand for accommodation.Rates 2 to 21% percent for short and 3 to 34 percent for long terms, all on active mixed collateral.Commercial paper of the grades the banks desire to secure continued scarce, but there was about the average offering of other than strictly choice names.Rates for best indorsed bills were 3 to 31% percent for sixty day and ninety days\u2019 notes; 3% to 4 percent for commission house names with four months to run, and 4 to 5 percent for the best single names.\u2019 There has been no change in the Bank of England rate, which remains at two percent, with money in the open market rather firmer at one and.an eighth percent.- The specie increase of the bank was £441,632 during the week.The specie increase of the Bank of France was 19,550,000 francs, gold at 2,675,000 francs.These increases are no doubt largely due to the arrival of gold from New York.The local stock market has presented no new feature during the week, speculation for the moment being lifeless, neither bulls nor bears being disposed to operate.The bulls on the market found more congenial employment during the wesk in inspecting thelr confreres at the cattle show.Locally, money continues easy at four and a half for call loans, and six to seven percent for commercial paper.The Clearing House statement for the week is the smallest since its organization, the figures being as follows: Clearings.Balances.Total for week ending It is April 26, 18%4.\u2026 $8,769,624 $1,183,105 Cor.week of 1893.8,834,410

The steamship representatives said that it depended entirely upon what quantities of freight requiring cold storage would be shipped.It had been tried before in some ships, cold storage compartments had been built, but were removed on account of their not being patronized by shippers.The rates would depend on the space being taken and they wanted to know what guarantee there would be that this space would be filled.To this the patrons replied that this would have {0 be counted in in estimating the subsidy required.Asked what reason they had for thinking the government would give a subsidy, the deputation replied that the reason of their visit was the proposed subsidy of $750,000 to Mr.Huddart\u2019s scheme.They opposed this bonus for a fast passenger or mail service only, which was of no consequence to ithe farmers.The Patrons numbering two hundred thousand members, were opposed to subsidies of any kind, but if the government was going tu bonus any service it should be cne that would carry freight cheaper and more rapidly into the markets of the world.Mr.Allan then said: \u2018If you gentlemen would give us an idea of what you actually require in the way of space we will be in a position to apswer your ques- tien.\u2019 Mr.Wilson, replying for the Patrons, said \u2018 That is a thing our board could not be prepared to guarantee.\u2019 Here this matter was dropped and the rates on cattle taken up.The Patrons wanted a fixed rate for cattle so that scalpers oould not operate to the detriment of the trade.The steamship men thought that there had been no cases of scalping of late years.The present rates including insurance, were much less than rates from American ports.The merits of and benefits to be derived from the Huddart scheme were discussed at length.The steamship men thought the venture would prove a fajlure and all were almost as a unit towards helping the Patrons to reject the undertaking.a erect ee CHOLERA IN LISBON.(Special to the \u2018 Witness.\u2019) Lisbon, April 27.\u2014Righty-seven cases of cholerine wera repcrteG yesterday.The reports stated that there had been 120 recoveries from the disease, and that 440 Ballers Bayer por 3100 per 3100 Bank of Montreal.svavessues 229 236 Ontario Bank.sens ns Banque du Peuple.\u2026.\u2026.124 Moisons Bank.\u2026.\u2026.sossoves 179 164 Bank of Toronto.0er 250 Bank of Jacques Cartier.125 118 Merchants Bank of Canada.170 165 Quebec EY von 128 - Banque Nationale.\u2026.\u2026.0.\u2026.Eastern Townships Bank.oun eee Union Bank.ccoenesranrarencnans 104 12 Bank of Commerce:.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.142% 423% Banque Ville Marie.\u2026.sy.res Hochelaga Bank.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.128 Merchants MAX.200 00000000 0an0 coos cers Montreal Telegraph.14844 Dominion Telegraph vee Commercial Cable.1434 Bell Telephone.cise Royal Electric Ligh ve cee 1% 'Richellen & Ontario.coeeeees 80 16% B8treet Railway.\u2026.143 142 ÿ City GAS Co.1200-0000 ee 175 1744] Montreal Loan & Mortgage.cred Colored Cotton CD.\u2026.:.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026 75 80 Montreal Cotton Co.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.130 124% Merchants Manufac.(Cot.)

Patty feels rich to possess these treasures.There was a time when she lived on the streets\u2014a dark, weary, hopeless time, when she was often cold and always hungry.Then came life at the mission ; and at last Miss Prim appeared.She wanted a child who had \u2018no belongings,\u201d to train.5 Patty answered to that ; there was no one really belonging to her in this whole big world, so Miss Prim took Patty, and a new life began.Miss Prim\u2019s boarding-house was well known in New York.She had kept it for twenty-one years.Patty liad been there just six months, and Miss Prim declared she had found in the child \u2018solid comfort.\u2019 Patty never found her work heavy or tiresome.She lived in a world of her own happy imagination.She always played she had a mother.The old rocking-chair in her room was never empty, but filled by a sweet, tender presence.While Patty cleaned.all Miss Prim\u2019s knives, she soared away in thoughts, and would talk with her dear play mother about a country home, or a walk in the woods, or a trip qn the cars.\u2018Good-bye, mother ; I must go down.Now put your shawl over your shoulders.Are you warm and comfortable ?\u201d Tenderly Patty speaks, bending over the old rocking-chair, and then goes out to begin her day, the first duty being to kneek at No.12 and see if Miss Rushwobd is ready to have her gas logs lighted and Ho steam.heat.tarped, on, and, her maid ca Miss Rushwood is a very \u2018rich lady, who spends two months every winter at Miss Prim\u2019s on her way to Florida.She iz very languid, very tired of everything, and to Patty is very interesting.To the child's gentle knock a weary voice answers : \u2018Come in.\u2019 Patty gives her eyes a rapid feast as she opens the door\u2014lace curtains, soft rugs, couches, easy chairs, a silk screen, 8 lovely white draped bed, pietures, lamps, a dressing table, with silver- topped bottles, and a faint, delicious odor of violets everywhere.Miss Rushwood\u2019s pale, weary face is the only cloud on the picture.\u2018Light the logs quickly, child,\u201d goes on tie weary voice ; \u2018perhaps that will make it more cheerful.It has been such a rng night, and a stormy day will not be much better.\u2019 With a touch of tbe mateh the logs burst into flame ; then Patty turns on \u201cne steam, and is walking out to call Faience, the maid, when Miss Rush- >) speaks again : \u2018Thank you, Patty.ya à seem to be a very useful little girl.[nez your mother live hare in New York?'T haven't any real mother,\u2019 answers Paty.and opening the door, goes out.M:ss Rushwood sat up in bed an re- Fra #1 wonderingly : \u2018No real mother ! What can the pretty little creature mean ¥ 201 Patience came in she saw a look of animation in her mistress's eyes, and \u201cas surprised by Miss Rushwood\u2019's ask- frz her if she had ever particularly no- \u2018el Patty, \u2018And can you tell me.Pa- \u201cence, what the child means by saying the has no real mother \u201d Patience answers as she begins help- © z Miss Rushwood to dress : \u2018Yes, Miss, ! do Know ; it is just the touchingest \u2018:.\"ig\u2014tbe poor child has not a soul be- \u2018-ging to her, but if you are near her \u201cLen she is working her face looks so appy, and she is often talking to her © iy mother, as she says.It is a sad iv.\" Patience continues, as she gently \u201c'.shes out har lady's long, soft hair, \u201c 2 such a child can't have a real \" \u201c'her to love instead of a poor shadow.\u2019 * * * * * + \u201ciss Prim finds this rainy day just the > into which to crowd a bundred ne- © 2ried duties.Come.Patty,\u2019 she called, \u2018there is - \"1 time before luncheon to put in order ,( \u201c tnen closet.Such a day makes me i Lke work, and I do so enjoy doing \u201c358$ myself oH 55 Prim {is thin and frail looking, _ Party is sure a regiment of soldiers / 77 tremble before her when she felt +nlig things herself.\u2019 She did more A in a few hours than all her maids ! 4 aay, r ir shelves are done, and stand in full immaculate order.when Miss \u20185 wanted in the parlor.2 Patty, you must finish the other car ro t trust them to another soul.on each shelf, and nine pil- low-slips in each.Count, and be very careful to keep them perfectly straight.Then lock the door and give Eliza the key.\u2019 Miss Prim takes off her apron, gives her bangs a nervous pat, and leaves the room, while Patty works on, alone (she imagines) for the first time since morning.It will be nice now for mother to have her walk, she thinks; and as her little bands are busy, so her thoughts carry her away, away in happy dreaming.It is Central Park ; and in summer.Birds are singing.Radiant sunshine floods grass, flowers and trees.\u2018Mother,\u201d softly speaks Patty, \u2018let us sit here and see the swans.Is pot the grass soft under your feet ?Then she begins counting the pillowslips on the second ptle\u2014\u2018one, two, three.\u201d The little hand pauses and the voice goes on.\u2018Oh! may I put my head in your lap and look up through the trees at the sky ?\u201d Another second of silence, a long drawn, happy breath, and the realittes of life are back ence more\u2014\u2018four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.One pile done.\u2019 There is a slight rustle.The child turns her head and sees Miss Rushwood going out of the room.She thought to find Miss Prim here, thinks Patty, and goes.on with her work-\u2014and play.Miss Rushwood has heard Patty as she talked with her shadow mother, and in thoss few moments has feit and realized | the need and want of her lift.Her heart swells with a great and joyous thought that some good angel has sent; 4nd although her eyes are full of tears they must be happy ones, far her lips hold the very sweetest smile when she enters Miss Prim's parlor.It is so rare a thing for Miss Rush- wood to came into that room that Miss Prim looks up at her visitor somewhat startled, and comes to meet her with outstretched hands.\u2018I hope there is nothing the matter.Don\u2019t let this storm frighten you off to Florida immediately,\u201d she exclaims.\u2018Ob, no, Miss Prim, I'm not .thinking of the storm, .Let us ait down ; I have something to ask you.\u2019 With a hand trembling with excitement she draws Miss Prim to a seat beside her on a low couch.\u2018Tell me about Patty, your little maid, she eagerly asks, her cheeks showing & faint color and her eyes glowing with interest.\u2018It is s0 sweet and pathetic\u2014 her playing nrother.\u2019 Miss Prim is a close observer of human nature.Being at the head of a big boarding-house for so many years has given her great opportunities for the study of people.Now she felt and saw that Miss Rushwood was agitated by some strong and happy purpese, so she did not question but answered with her usual directness.\u2018A better child never drew breath, nor & more lonely one, for she hasn't one belonging to her ; and yet the love in her poer little soul must lavish itself some- Where, go afte.pliys shy pas Miss Rushwood reaches ddwn and takes one of Miss Prim\u2019's bands im her own beautiful jewelled ones, and earnestly exclaims : \u2018Ob! my heart is just starving for such love.Can I not take Patty and be something real to her ?\u201d Miss Prim would like to kiss her rich, aristocratic boarder, but centents herself by giving the soft hand a warm pressure.A big tear rolls down her cheek and a torrent of words frem her lips.\u2018My dear Miss Rushwood, it is a heavenly desire, and I know it makes you happy.Your life will be full of interest ; you will get well.Oh, I wish I could take half the poor little friendless creatures right here in New York and mother them all.There is no one but me to ask about Patty, and I thank God that I can give her into such good and tender keeping.\u2019 * * » * * * \u2018Seven, eight, nine, the last pile done.Mother, we must go home new, the sky is all red with the sunset.\u201d Patty speaks softly, and closes the closet door and takes Eliza the key.* * * « * + One morning just two years later, in the Grand Union station, I came upon Miss Rushwood and her adopted daughter.They make a pretty picture bending over the fower counter.Miss Rugh- wood was so changed\u2014her face having a look ef happiness and vigor ; and the lovely little girl at her side seemed herself the embodiment of spring and flowers and sunny joy.As I drew near to say how glad I was to find their train for the sunny seuth would be mine also, I heard Patty say : : \u2018Mamma, let us send Miss Prim as a good-hye the biggest bunch of violets we can -buy.'\u2014\u2018New Church Messenger.\u2019 tlie A really pious, happy home fs the mcat perfect representation of heaven uper earth that mortals know.\u2018Builders and Carpenters.J BBN G PROMPTLY ATTENDED TO.Special care te nave work about & bouss or building done n:stly, quietly and quickly.Address 0.C.BEALLEVOLD, Standard Joinery Works, 20 112 Bt.Peter street.Educational.HE CURRAN PHOXOGRAPNIC TE, ep A 8CHOOL OF SHORTHAND AND WRITING FOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.Y.M.C.A.Building Dominion square Montreal Prices moderate an ren me ae thorough.Posi- mire ps Tia B45 am toi E Classes: RSA i XE DAYS from 1% and copying done > romani pds ;
