yesterday afternoon.They were thrown from a win- \u201cow of the writing room of the Metro- po:itan Business College, on the upper floors of the Powers building, but a few minutes before the march came to an end.Mr.Powers says: \u2018While I am po- l'ically opposed to Mr.Bryan and the sarty he represents, I believe he should te treated with respect, and I desire to apologize for an act which

there are no suggestions of corsets or of tight bands about the young girl's waist or neck.The collar of her gown rolls back, leaving her throat bare, and the little puffed sleeves she wears end well above the wrist to permit tree play OL her wonderful hands.Those hands deserve a chapter of themselves.Their whiteness and delcacy and beauty of shape are delights to the eye, and the extraordinary sensitiveness of their fin- ger-tips cannot be imagined by one who has only the usual sense of touch.These finger-tips, resting lightly on the lips of her friends, carry to Helen Keller's mind ,the messagzs from the world in which : ghe lives, unseeing and unhearing.They \"do more than this, for they keep her - in touch with the intellectual life.She reads German, French, and English well with her fingers resting on the raised let- i ters of the books which have been published for her.Her hands are never still for an instant; one of them is usually clasped in that of Miss Sullivan, the teacher, who is no less a marvel than her wonderful pupil.If Miss Sullivan moves away Helen follows her, and if ihe teacher's hands are busy the pupil rests her own palm lightly on the other's ' shoulder or even gathers a fold of her { gown between her fingers and holds that.1f one could not see her eyes or bear her voice, this dependence on Miss Sul- | Iivan would be the only outward trait to | distinguish Helen Keller from other girls | of her age.pearance.OF TO-DAY, AGED 16.Boston, said by Mies Sullivan to be the of her wonderful pupil.) \u2014Reproduced in New York \u2018World.\u2019 Her chief beauty, next to her hands, is the mass of short brown curly hair that falls on her shoulders and which is confined only by a small comb.Looking at her face, you are struck first, of course, { by the pathos of the eyes that show all too plainly their affliction.| these, there is nothing to sadden onë in | Helen Keller\u2019s appearance.beautifully formed, the mouth and teeth | are good, her complexion is clear and ! healthy and the expression of her face wonderfully attractive in its bright alertness.Her volce, strangely enough, lacks the usual monotony of the voices of the deaf.It has rising and falling inflections, and even bits of shading oc- i casionally when the subjects under dis- | cussion touch her especially.To understand the interest of this it is necessary | to recall the fact that she herself has \u2018never heard the slightest sound of any ; kind since she was eighteen months old.| Her speech is a little thick and at first it is hard to understand.After listening for a few moments, however, one begins to follow her.She will remain in Mr.Arthur Gill- ! man's school at Cambridge until it seems : best for her to enter Radcliffe, and she will lead there the life of every other pupil in that institution, except that Miss Sulllvan will be with her constantly, sitting by her side in the class-room and interpreting to her the words of the class teacher.BER CONSTANT MENTOR.In this classroom they sit together from pine o'clock in the morning until 12.30 o'clock, with half an hour\u2019s intermission for rest and recreation.During this intermission Helen mingles with tho other girls, and dances with them to the inspiring strains of the piano.She not only dances, but she dances gracefully and in perfect time.She learned easily, | and by touching the girls with her bands as they danced, and getting her idea of the steps from the bending and swaying of the body.At 12.30 o'clock she goes i to Howell House, where she boards, and which is within a short walk of the school.She studies in the afternoon, cr walks, reads and plays.Every effort is made to keep her health in perfect condition, and so far these | efforts have been successful.She reads a great deal, and reads French and German as readily as English.She also speaks German very well and French also, though not so fluently.She has just ' begun the study of Latin, and has al- \u2018ready intimated that she is anxious to \u2018learn Greek.These hints have been | disregarded for the excellent reason that { the young student's hands are full.Her course at Mr.Gillman\u2019s school includes Latin, history, English literature, arithmetic, and advanced German.Her sens:s of touch and smell, always phenomenally acute, seem to be growing more so as the years pass.She can follow a scent like a bloodhound, and will recognize a person months after her first ' meeting with him by that alone.Her power of tuition is almost uncanny.Again and again she surprises Miss Sullivan by answering an unspoken thought {and by divinging immediately any change \".g, with good, thick soles, | in her teacher's condition of mind.But to return to her ap- | Aside from .Her chin is HER KNOWLEDGE OF DEATH.Until a few years ago Helen knew nothing about death, and she probably has a very vague idea now of what it means.It has just come home to her heavily, for ber father dled three weeks ago.He was in Alabama with her mother and her grief over the news was very deep.She begged to go to her mother, but was dissuaded by those who have her in charge and who dreaded the effect of continued depression on her impressionable nature.She is wonderfully affected by the mental condition of those about her, and can tell immediately! on meeting a person whether that person is happy or the reverse.She may feel any depressing influences the more keenly because she is used to the buovant atmosphere of Miss Sullivan\u2014that lovely and lovable woman who for nine years has devoted herself day and night to the helpless child.To Miss Sullivan alone belongs the credit of Helen Keller's record to-day.\u2014New York \u2018World.\u2019

his wife and children may make selections from his books, the testator bequea.ns the rest of his library to the Montreal Diocesan Theological College.The will provides that the testamentary executors will act as trustees to his estate, the income of which is to go to his widow for sole use and benefit, during ber lifetime, and after her death said income is to be divided among the children.The income from the Widows\u2019 and Orphans\u2019 Fund of ghe Diocese of Montreal is also to be paid to Mrs.Henderson.and in case of her declining to accept It for her own use, as she is alone able to receive it legally, she ls to receive it for the benefit of her three youngest daughters, to be distributed to them In equal shares.The testator expresses his wish to be buried In Dunham Churchyard, beside his son Henry, not in a suit of clothes, and much less in clerical robes, but in a simple winding sheet.Ts The testamentary executors dre his son- in-law, the Right Rev.J.A.Newnham, and his son, Robert B.Henderson.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE HALLOWE'EN CONCERT.CALEDONTANS HAVE A SPLENDID PROGRAMME.The forty-first grand annual concert of the Caledonian Society will take place on Friday evening next in the Windsor Hall, an imposing array of talent having been secured for the occasion by those who have the management of the concert in hand.The artistes include Miss Ella Walker, Miss Rebecca McKenzie, Miss Mabel Barker, Mr.Catheart Wallace, violinist of Montreal, and Mr.G.H.Govan, humorist, of New York.The celebrated Verdi Quartette of Boston will glve three fine selections.A prominent feature of the concert will be the recitation, by Mr.Robert Reid, of \u2018Kirkbride,\u2019 the poem that gained for him the prize offered this year by the United Caledonian societies.Mr.Sackville S.Bain, the president of the Caledonian Society, will preside at the concert and \u2018Auld Lang Syne\u2019 and the National Anthem, in which the audience is requested to join, will close the evening.etl A IJGHTNING COUNTER.The London Mint uses a new celn- counting machine that counts three thousand pieces a minute.This is the fastest machine in the world; the next fastest is in the

Oct.28.\u2014As an illustration of the popular administration of justice in China, the case of a man who stole a farmer's wife at a place some three hundred miles inland from Hankow is instructive.The thief sold the woman for a hundred ounces of silver, which appears to be about the tariff in mountainous districts of China.He was caught by the husband of the woman and two other men, who carried him to a particular tree near a Buddhist monastery and strung him by the wrists, tied behind his back so that his body was bent forward and his tees barely touched the ground.In that position.he was hammored with a large stone at the base of the spine and on his ankles.This was hy way of preliminary to carrying him to the magistrate\u2019®s yamen, where he was sentenced to decapitation.pp.SPAIN'S TROUBLES INCREASING.Madrid, Oct.28.\u2014An official cablegram received from Manila, the capital of the Philippine Islands, to-day, says that a conspiracy against the government has been discovered in the Sulu Islands.Eight Spanish soldiers were shot in a conflict with the revolutionists at Sulu, the capital of the Sulu archipelago, and troops have been sent there by the governor of the Philippines, who has also armed a local force at Sulu.= A MAXIM LOST OVERBOARD.Halifax, N.S., Oct.28.\u2014 While Her Majesty's cruiser \u2018Talbot\u2019 was in the harbor last week and just before her departure for Bermuda, she lost one of her Maxim.guns overboard.Some of the crew of the cruiser were in the act of hoisting the gun from the launch, which had been practising with it at sea, when it slipped from the hoisting tackle and dropped into the water.Divers have been searching for the gun ever since without success.| Yam.\u2019 CONSTABLES WARNED, THE MAGISTRATE FINES THEM LIGTHLY, BUT LECTURES THEM SEVERELY.Judge Dugas this morning rendered sentence in the case of assault against Constables Dansereau and Fortin, of No.12 Station, in the Court of Special Sessions.It will be remembered that the constables in question were charged by Mr.Taylor, of Drolet street, whilst he was in the act of playing on the ttreet a short time ago.The constables alleged that the boy was loitering on the street, and in consequence of this they arrested him and he resisted.Judge Dugas in a lengthy address pointed out very strongly that although the officers thought they had a perfect right to treat the lad in such au unmercifui manner whilst in the exercise of their duty, they had no authority to arrest a boy un the streets and use him in such a disgracetul ! There was no doubt whatever! manner.that the constables in their own minds were fully justified in executing their duty in the manner alluded to At the same time it would not do for him.(the judge) to allow constables to go and arrest two men, or even five men, if they were standing on the sidewalk as the boy Taylor was.such proceedings were to be allowed, all respectable men in the city would be roped in and condemned as vagabonds.No ; such work was not to be tolerated.The police had a duty to perform, but there was a right and a proper way to perform such duty.lt was illegal to arrest persons on the sidewalk in such a way.Again, if such a case was not to be condemned, it would enable an officer to arrest two men if they haprened to meet on the street and engage in a short chat.The duty of the constable in such instances was to order the obstructors to xaove on, and if they refused to do so, then his turn arrived.However, he found the constables guilty of an assault and illegal arrest, but seeing that they had done their duty in good faith, authorized by their superior officer.he would only fine them one dollar and costs or eight days.Tho fine was paid.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE REV.MR.TROOP'S ADDRESS.Continuing his instructive addresses on \u201cChrist in the Old Testament,\u2019 the Rev.G.Osborne Troop last evening spoke to a crowded room at the Y.M.C.A.on the subject of \u2018Christ and Abraham,\u2019 explaining that he did not speak of Abraham next after Adam,.because none who came between were worthy, but because the course must necessarily be a limited one.\u2018Turning with the lecturer to 2 Chronicles AX., «/, and Isaiah xli.,, 8, it was sean that in the first passage Abraham was referred to as the friend of Ged, and in the second, God himself spoke of him as \u201cAbraham, my friend.\u201d Abraham, when seventy-five years old, and childless, was told by God that his seed should be as the stars of the heaven; \u2018and he believed in the Lord, and he counted.it to him for righteousness.\u2019 dr.Troop fotlowed up this thought with reading Romans iv., 4 and 5, the words of which, fie said.he had always found most restful: \u2018Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt; hutito him that worketh not, but believeth him plus 18 counted 3 nother place it is written: \u2018Abraham rejoiced to see \\my day, and he saw it and was glad.Before Abraham was, I God always dealt with man through Christ Jesus, and the Saviour's words, by which he identified himself with him, who said, \u2018I am, that am,\u2019 would show that it was he.himself Who made the covenant with Abraham.Continuing, Mr.Troop showed that Christians generally were just as truly linked with Abraham, children of the promise, as were his seed according to the flesh, and more truly than those Hebrews who believed not on Christ.They were the wild olive branches, grafted in in place of the natural branches which were broken off because of unbelief; the olive tree typifying Christ.They that are grafted in partake of the root, and if the root be holy, so also must be the branches.And the Jews also, as is seen In Romans xi., 23, \u2018if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.\u2019 that justifieth the ungodly, his > LYRIC GLEE CLUB.The Lyric Glee Club of Point St.Charles has commenced its season's work with a membership of twenty-four voices.The society is banded together under the leadership of Mr.A.Tattersall for the sole object of voice culture, expression, and harmonizing of voices, and thorough development in time and reading of music.Krowing the time and labor, not to meu-' tion the expense of purchasing msic, ete., -|.for the purpose of getting up a series of concerts during the winter season, the go- ciety has abandoned the idea of meeting together for that purpose, but have: agreed that if in the conauctor\u2019s opinion it is best to give one concert at the close of the season's work in April next, so that the public at large may hear what improvement they have made during the time the society has been in existence, they may do 80.The following officers have been elected: President, Mr.George Lavers; secretary, Miss L.Donohue; pianist, Miss G&G.Powles; instructor, Mr.A.Tattersall.The society at present consists of seven soprano, four altos, four tenors and seven bassos.: me THE COUNTRY ROADS.Now that we are having fine weather with bright, warm sunshine during day time, and frosty nights, the country roads, which were badly cut up, are being very much improved.The farmers are at work on them, where they are not macadamized, with ploughs and harrows, levelling and making drains to carry off the water where it lodges on them.MR.TARTE IN THE WEST.Winnipeg, Man., Oct.28.\u2014The Hon.Mr.Tarte is very much gratified with Winnipeg's hospitable treatment of him.Local people are much pleased with the interest the new minister is manifesting in Manitoba and North-West matters.He seems to be fully alive to the needs of the west, and people are hopeful that the public works required will find in him an earnest supporter.Mr.Tarte visited St.Boniface to-day \u2018and received a warm welcome from the French population there.\u2019 FAST ATLANTIC SERVICE.Halifax, N.S., Oct.28.\u2014Regarding the best route for the fast Atlantic service the Halifax \u2018Herald\u2019 to-day publishes a letter from General Laurie, M.P., strongly advocating Halifax as the Canadian and Milford Haven as the British terminus of the line, as being the shortest, \u2018safest and quickest route.\u20ac with assaulting his son : IC |.for righteousness.\u2019\u2026 In.- ADVERTISEMENTS.cae The_\u2014 Cushion Shoe.The introduction of the New CUSHION- - SHOE marks a decided departure in faot wearing attire,and is attracting great attention for its HEALTH GIVING QUALITIES.~~ Warm, Durable and Flexible.INSPECTION INVITED.W.H.STEWART, 2295 St.Catherine street.\u2014 me \u2014 pm mn =\" [We invite questions on all possible subjects of general tnterest, to which we shall do our best to obtain correct answers, and shall tnsert such queries and replies as we an make room for.This must not be used, however, ag an advertising column or as an enquiry bureau for matters not of public Interest.Every query must be accompanied with the name and postal address of the gender, and no notice will be taken of anonymous come munications.} GENERAL.LAW TERMS AND QUARTER DAYS.C.T.T., Arnprior.\u2014Please state the names and dates of (1) the English law terms; (2) the English quarter days.Ans.\u20141.usual law terms in England and Ireland mean those periods of the year during which the law courts sit in banc (as it is called), or in full court to dispose of business.These are of ancient origin, and are now flxed by statute as follows: \u2014Hlilary term begins Jan.11; \u2018ends Jan.31; Easter term begins April 16; ends May 8; Trinity term begins May 22; ends, June 12; Michaelmas term begins Nov.2; ends Nov.25.Though the courts always sit at those periods yet they have a power of appointing sittings after term also, which power ig always exercised for the despatch of arrears of business.And the judges also practically sit nearly all the year round, disposing of business of one kind or another, except in the long vacation, which extends from Aug.10 to Oct.24.But even during that period one or more judges attend to perform incidental business, ahd it is only for some purposes, and for some kinds of business, that the long vacation acts as & suspension of procedure.In Scotland the law terms are differently ar- \u2018ranged.The Court of Session sits from Oct.15 to March 20, and from May 12 to July 18.There also, however, the judges are employed in other business during the intervals.2.The quarter days are Lady Day, March 25: Midsummer Day, June 24;

1872, $489,427; 1873, $561,813; 1874, $310,224; 1875, $494,629; 1876, $791,121; 1897, 304.624.Total.$3,111.897.As the cost of the survey averaged about $1,300, some 2,624 miles were surveyed during these periods of time, Mr.Mackenzie in making his annual statement concerning the C.P.R.in 1878 enumerated before the assembled parliament some of the difficulties of the great undertaking.Great obstacles were met with in passing the Rocky and the Cariboo and the Cascade ranges of mountains.In the progress of the surveys no less than 47,000 miles, he said, had: been traversed by the surveying parties, 12,000 miles, or five times the length of the line had been actually covered by instrumental survey.By the various dangers encountered in crossing lakes, and streams, bv forest flres, and other sources of peril, no less than forty lives had been sacrificed from 1871 to 1878.Some of the operations had been carried on during the hardships of winter.It was not to be wondered at that much time had been taken in the surveying of the proposed routs of the C.P.R.through a country almdkt uninhabitated and presenting great engineering difficulties, when It was remembered that the surveys of the great Indian Railway from Bombay to the interior took four years to accomplish the work being.prosecuted through the midst of a thickly populated district.Mr.Sandford Fleming's \u2018Report of the Canadian Pacific Rail- Way,\u2019 issued in 1877, showed that up to Jan.1 of that year $4,942,789.12, had been expended in connection with the preliminary works of construction.The good.work undertaken and completed during the existence of the Liberal administration went far towards enabling the Conservative Government, which succeeded it to bring the work of construction to a comparatively speedy termination.See the Dominion Annual Register for 1878, pages 147 to 152.The sama for 1879, pages 114 to 128.Also Sandford Fleming's \u2018Repagt of the Canadian Pacific\u2019 Rallway,\u2019 published in 1877.NUMISMATIC.L.M.Belfast \u2014I have an old penny described as follows: \u2014Obverse, the initials, RH.in script, enclosed within a wreath of oak leaves: reverse.a ship under sail within a .cirele;

Montreal Herald and |.Daily Commercial Gazette,\u2019 offering thus in its title a sort of claim to having the first right in a name borne by another, just as the English sovereigns till very recently claimed to be kings of Great Britain, France and Ireland.\u2018The Herald angel\u2019 which in those days trumpeted the news in its vignette folded his wings some time ago.Yesterday the paper was \u2018The Montreal Daily Herald.\u201d To-day it is \u201cThe Herald\u2019 and nothing more.There is an air of renewed respectability and vigor all over its pages.The improvement Is like the effect of the rising sun on a landscape, and marks the coming of a new regime under one of the ablest journalists in Canada, Mr.Brierly, of St.Thomas, which is going, we hope, to restore the paper to a business basis and to its old time prosperity.retest At seventy-five Sir Charles Tupper, so far from being in his dotage, seems to be In the prime of his anec- dotage.When the Toronto press interviewers congratulated him upon his robust %ppearance, the aged lead- ex of the , Opposition acknowledged the compliment with an anecdote : I am like Gladstnne in that respect.In England when a gentleman has served as claifman of a parliamentary committee duriug an administration he is entitled to cabinet rank.Mr.Gladstone \u2018sent for Sir Lyon Playfair and said to him, \u2018There isa peerage for you.You are too old to enter the cabinet.\u2019 Sir Willam looked surprised and replied that he was ten years younger The rejoinder of Mr, Gladstone was, \u2018But mine Is a #pecullar case.\u2019 \u2019 ) Sir Charles's reply reminds the \u2018Mail and \u2018Empire man of another anecdote Sir Cherles used on a similar occasion, and-he tells it : To a caller who marvelled that he should be lookink so well in spite of his great exertions during the recent- general election and in Parliatnent, Sir Charles said: \u2018You remind me of a story that is told of Rothery, the Wreck Commissioner in England.One morning Rothery was walking down Pall Mall when he encountered Earl Granville and another peer.\u2018 \u201cGood morning, my Lords,\u201d\u2019 said the.Wreck Commissioner.\u201cI am pleased to see your Lordships looking so well.\u201d t \u201cWhat did you expect te see, Rothery,\u201d | of Justice, of was the wilty retort, \u2018a couple of old wrecks?\u2019 Sir Charles evidently does not need to tell the same story twice.- ee The convention of Ontario Canser- vatives who responded to the call of Sir Charles Tupper to meet in Toronto was a fairly representative one.There was one section of the party which was apparently not represented, or at least we find no mention of any of its members in the proceedings.This section has for its most prominent man, if not leader, Mr.Clarke Wallace, the member for West York, and Mr.McLean, the editor of the Toronto \u201cWorld,\u201d the member for East York, is its most pronounced spokesman.It is well known that this section is opposed to the leadership of Sir Charles Tupper, and as the convention was probably a preliminary move intended to organize the Ontario Conservatives in support of Sir Charles's leadership, the members of it signified their position apparently by staying away.There was a good representation of that clique of the Orange section of the partygof which Major Hughes is a conspicuous member, who were willing to support coercion as a party measure.This section of the party and the Irish Roman Catholic section are very fully represented on the executive board which was elected by the convention.In the absence of the anti-coercionists, who are, now that the Manitoba question has been removed from Dominion politics, rather anti-Tupperites, there was nothing in the officially reported proceedings (there were no reporters present) but mutual good will, harmony and unity.There was not a word nor a reference in the speeches reported, in regard to the Manitoba school question, so perhaps the unity of the convention was not subjected to the test of any great strain.It seems probable, in view of the general success of the Ontario convention, where opposition might be expected to appear if anywhere, that Sir Charles Tupper will be continued in the position of leader of the party.os .MR.TARTE AND THE GOODWIN CLAIMS.The statements meade by the So- licitor-General in the Exchequer Court yesterday when the case of the claims for extras on the construction of the Soulanges canal by Goodwin against the government came up, are being misrepresented as constituting an exculpation of the late government in the matter, and as a repudiation by the Laurier Government of the course of one of its members, the Minister of Public Works.This misrepresentation is made plain by the simple facts.These facts are that Mr.Tarte was dissatisfied with the decision of Judge Burbridge, of the Exchequer Court, in the case condemning the government to pay a large part of the claim, and supposing that Jydge Burbridge had acted as an arbitrator and not as a judge, criticised his deciston in parliament and announced his own intention of going into the case thoroughly with his engineers, and then if the case still seemed to be one which the government could defend successfully before the courts, he would refer it to the Department of Justice for its opinion, and in case its opinion coincided with his own the claims would be submitted to the Exchequer Court.The Department of Justice evidently was of the opinion of Mr.Tarte in regard to the merits of the claims, and decided to contest them in the Exchequer Court.The Department was, however, convinced that the claims had in the.first place been submitted in a regular way to Judge Burbridge, sitting as a judge in court, and the Solicitor- General, on behalf of the government, including Mr.Tarte, of course, after a straightforward fashion acknowledged the mistake and withdrew the criticism of the Minister of Public Works.It will be seen that Mr.Tarte\u2019s course in questioning the merits of the claims and deciding that they should be heard again by the court and a stronger presentation of the government's case be made, was approved \u2018of by the Department which Sir Oliver Mowat, one of the highest of all legal authorities in the Dominion, is the head.EIR MANITOBA SCHOOLS.MR.TARTE'S SPEECH CRITICISED.SEVERELY DENOUNCED BY SOME OONSERVA- TIVE FRENCH NEWSPAPERS.Referring to Mr.Tarte\u2019s speech in Winnipeg, in which he spoke of the schqol question, the \u2018 Minerve \u2019 says:\u2014 We hesitate to give an opinion on (hat speech, not knowing exactly whether it should inspire us with pity or contempt.Praise the persecutors in the very face of those persecuted, in Winnipeg, the hothouse of fanaticism and Francophobia; applaud their resistance to law; their tei- acity in injustice; righc in the face of the unfortunate people who, for the last six vears, have bowed down under the weight of lilegality and a denial of justice; cuvolly and premidatedly celebrate around a festive board the sacrifice of the legitimate influence and the sacred rights vf his compatriots and co-religionists,\u2014that is what Mr.Tarte has just done.To have been, during six months, the most vidlent upholder of the rights of a minority, and then abjure his whole past, repudiate his declarations of be previous day; in a word, betray thoss whose cause Jhe has in hand, such is the work of tbat \u2018mah.And to add cynicalness to shame, sing a hymn of victory over the tomb of those one has just betrayed! Really, ons is inclined to believe that certain men are un- consoious in their evil, that they are sheeted against all feeling of honor.Further on, the same article says:\u2014 We were right then when we said that thé alleged settlement of the school question was nothing but a shameful capitulation.It must be true, since Mr.Tarte, abjuring all his past record, has made himself the apostie of the so-called national schools, of the Greenway schapis, since he preached the utopia of the union of all the races, and all the oreeds in one single teaching; since he has officially announced that, instead of giving back to the Catholies the schools to which they have a right, they will only be allowed a cerfain number of hours for religious teaching, after a neutral and often sectarian instruction.Were we not again right in saying that Mr.Tarte has gone to Manitoba to prepare there Catholic opinion to accept the triumph of fanaticism?He 18 doing there very sad work, and it is with fear in his behalf that we ask what terrible judgment history reserves for him.The \u2018 Monde \u2019 says that, after showing himself implacable on the school question, he has now given up the flag to the enemy.And to what enemy?To the very author of the infamous law of 1890, against which Mr.Tarte fought so much formerly, to the notorious yellow Martin, the fanatic \u2018 par excellence,\u2019 the rabid persecutor of the Manitoba Catho- les.Further on, the article holds that Mr.Tarte has confirmed, by this speech, his reputation for cynicalness, and it closes as follows: \u2014 And it is in the name of the Catholic Province of Quebec that this traitor has dared to speak to the fanatical persecutors of the Catholics! It is in our name that he has capitualated before them, and has accepted the national schools, that is to say, à neutral school, a school without God, the crushing down of our separate schools, of our Catholic schools.Ster there! Mr.Tarte.You have no mission to speak in the name of tha Catholic French-Canadians.We do Lat believe that you can make them turn so quick as you turn yourself on the schcol question.The Catholics who voted for Mr.Laurier and his candidates did so only because he promised them to render complete justice to our Manitoba brothers, to do more and better for them than did the Remedial Bill.You, yourself, made the same promises, and took the game engagements.You now want to betray those who had confidence in you, notwithstanding, our warnings.\u2018Take care! If the French-Canadians, whose hcarts are straightforward and loyal, easily gave their confidence tô those who promise them justice, they are implacable towards the traitors who try to sell them over to the epemy, and who abuse their good ?alih.Mr.Tarte.you are now completely unmasked.The hour of retribution is near.The \u2018 Presse \u2019 trusts that a full report of Mr.Tarte\u2019s speech will completely contradict the summary furnished by telegraph.It adds, however, that if such summary really contains the sense of the bonorable gentleman\u2019s remarks, then one must come to the conclusion that the Laurier Cabinet has capitulated and has given up the separate schools.As regards Mr.Tarte, his agitation concerning the school question, since 1891, was taken up by him not as a bleu or rouge, but as a French-Canadian and a Catholic, so that any change on his part in that matter must be considered as a treason.The Province of Quebec would be stupe- filed to hear that Mr.Tarte\u2019s five years\u2019 campaign and all Mr.Laurier\u2019s promises have crystallized in a school system that will not affect the price of wheat.The Laurier Cabinet are not at liberty not to settle the school question.Mr.Laurier was raised to power by the Province of Quebec, and that power was given him on the solemn promise of a settlement respecting the rights of the Catholic minority.The Province of Quebec cannot believe that Mr.Laurier will deny his word, and for that reason, the \u2018 Presse\u2019 refrains from any comments before having the text of both Mr.Tarte\u2019s speech and the school question settlement.\u2014\u2014 GLENGARRY NEWS.(T'0 the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Bir,\u2014Your correspondent in the article in your issue of yesterday headed \u2018Glen- garry News,\u201d could not have been well acquainted with all the progress of Lancaster village this year with regard to new buildings, as he bas made no mention of the fine brick block built by Mr.William Henderson, jeweller, for a jeweller's shop and residence, and for an undertaker\u2019s store.Both have fine large plate glass windows, and comprised the first block finished and occupied.Another jeweller\u2019s shop was built by Mr.Duncan Fraser, with plate glass windows, which also has not been taken notice of by your correspondent.D.MeNAUGHTON.Lancaster Village, Oct.27, 1896.Pn SONS OF TEMPERANCE.Halifax, N.S., Oct.28\u2014Nova Scotia t Grand Division Sons of Temperance opened its forty-ninth annual session last night.The grand worthy patriarch, Mr.James Hill, in his report urges immediate preparations to secure the taking of \u2018a Dominion plebiscite on prohibition.The grand scribe, Mr.Sanders, advocates the same thing.The order now numbers in this province 13,017 members.There \u2018are 246 divisions, which is fourteen less than a year ago.The treasurer\u2019s statement shows a balance on hand of $912 Rs Pda pre ee A an EER proposed a vote of thanks to those wi \u2014 ee MiSS SLACK HIGHLY Coxe The Rev.Dr.Benson of 3.| received a letter from 1h.,.- \u2018Northern Christian Advocaie N.Y., as follows: My Dear Dr.Benson.\u2014 Miss Agnes Slack has (hare, rican audiences.She 18 u v.markable gifts, and her 30.: the great work to which sne + : vr Miss Agnes E.Slack, « + World's W.C.T.U., 18 14 xj.) 3 Square Methodist Chu h os Fr ing next, the Rev.T.J.3 oo» The public are cortiuliy i; +.: will address a parlor cori.| ance workers in the Americ, Church parlors on Satur iu.0, to | o'clock, the Rev.T.s.M.v, siding.On Sunday mort: + ; preach in the Rev.Dir.jo, Mountain Street Methodist © _ the evening at 7 o'clock wii : dress in the same church u\u2026 7, eo the pastor conducting the sv : Hugh Price Hughes.M A.writes of the lady: \u2018!

posthumous, Since his fall from power he cannot be content to have no say in the less important affairs of his country.\u201d The \u2018Figaro\u2019 concludes: \u2018The Prince Bismarck ought to

the eyes of posterity.If he Is really the author or inspirer of the \u2018Hamburger Nachrichten' revelations, he has a very short memory or speculates on the credulity or ignorance of his readers.The \u2018Gaulois\u2019 adds that it would be curious and instructive if he whose object was to isolate France, should witness the icolation of his own country and be obliged to admit he himself contributed to it.Rerlin, Oct.28.\u2014The \u2018Reichsanzeiger,\u2019 the official journal, declares that the government Las po intention to clear up the so-called revelations of the \u2018Hamburger

MUSIC.There was a large and enthusiastic audience at the Salvation Temple last night to welcome the East Ontario String band, under the command of \u2018Mrs.Major Sharp.They had the customary march previous to the meeting, which was led by Major Sharp and the visitors.followed by a good number of the local corps with their brass band.At eight o'clock the meeting opened with praise and prayer, then followed the programme of music and song, which was rendered in a most creditable manner by the different performers.Lieut.Downey is a talented musician, and the parts on both mandolin and guitar were deservedly ea- cored.The Downey sisters rendered several duets on the guitars in a most pleasing manuer.Solos by Miss McNaney, Lieut.Jones, and Cadet Green, were much appreciated.Capt.Bearchall (the converted miner) created roars of laughter by his humorous rendition of several Salvation Army songs.The band played several selections together very sweetly, and the musical medley by the company was sometHing original and very good.It was past ten o'clock when the last part was flnished, yet the crowd were still interested.One feature worth noting was the fact that some of the young ladies are not Army officers, but as soldiers of the Kingston corps they have given their time and talent for the winter months to extend the Army's work in this manner.They are to revisit Montreal in the course of a few weeks.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MR.RACEY AT ZION CHURCH.At the fortnightly meeting of Zion Church Guild last evening Mr.A.G.Racey was heard for the first time in Montreal as a caricaturing lecturer.An interesting account of caricature in history was followed by cartoons on the topics of the day.The liquor question, the Armenian troubie, Mr.Laurier and many other excellent caricatures were shown and were received with great applause, but the cartoons \u2018of the pastor, Mr.Warriner, and Mr.Moody, the financial ~ secretary, trying to make both ends meet, created most amusement.Mr.Geo.S.Wilson was in the chair, and before the National Anthem was sung a hearty vote of thanks was given the lecturer.who was also elected an honorary member of the Guild.\u2014\u2014 THE MOCK PARLIAMENT.The Montreal Mock Parliament held its first regular meeting of the season last night in the Natural History Rooms.There were about forty present when the vice- president of the association took the chair.After the society had elected Mr, W.Hib- bard as speaker, and Mr.W.T.Castles as deputy speaker, the newly-elected speaker took the chair and the members present resolved themdelves into a mock parliament, The speech from the throne was then read and responded to, after which the meeting adjourned.; WANTS FAIR PLAY.\u2014_\u2014 ALD.KINSELLA CLAIMS THAT ENG- LISH-SPEAXING EMPLOYEES \\ ARE BEING CROWDED OUT AT THE CITY HALL.Ever since Ald.Kinsella has been In the City Council he has been annoyed about the small number of English- speaking employees engaged at the City Hall, and in the Corporation in general.At the meeting of the Water Committee yesterday afternoon he gave vent to his feelings on the subject.He asked Mr.Laforest, acting-super- intendent of the department, if the place made vacant by a man named Burns had been filled in the Lagauchetiere street shops.He was tcld that it was still vacant.\u2018Well,\u201d said Ald.Kinsella, \u2018I move that Mr.Howes be appointed to the place.I can't understand why the citizens of Montreal, who pay taxes, are ignored and people brought ,in from Jo- liette and other places to take positions which they are not entitled to and which they are incompetent to fill.He then went on to give the names of a number of English and h\u2014employces who had been discharged by Mr.La- forest, and contended that persons who spoke French were given employment.He then moved that when an employee cf the department leaves or is dismissed for cause he be replaced by a man of the same nationality.Mr.Laforest replied that he had been given instructions to reduce the stall in order not to exceed this year's appropriations.He said ho had not discriminated in favor of French employees, and also objected to Ald.Kinsella's motion, as it would tie his hands.Ald.Kinsella still contended that French employees in the Corporation were growing more and more numerous every vear, and were gradually squeezing out all others.In regard to the position to which Ald.Kinsella wanted Mr.Howes appointed Mr.Laforest sald that he intended to abolish it.Ald.Kinsella said he wanted it understood that if the position were filled Mr.Howes was to get it.It was now sald that Mr.Howes, who had been a civic employee for several years, had not lived in this in the face of a rule that all civic employees must live .within the city limits.Ald.Kinsella retorted by saying there were dozens of civic employees who did not heed that rule.Ald.Sav- igifac.moved in amendment that no permanent appointment be made otherwise than by the committee.Ald.Kinsella (excitedly)\u2014I have no objection to Ald.Savignac's motion if it is carried out.but I want to say that ! never oppose any of your nominees, but mine do not get justire, I won't stand this thing any longer.\u2019 Ald.Kinsella then withdrew his motion in favor of the amendment, which was allowed to pass, and the matter dropped.Mr.Laforest Bell Telephone and Standard Light & Power Companies were, in sothe, Cases, lavimg their pipes across those of the Water Deparment, to the danger likely to arise therefrom.After some discussion the superintendent was instructed to write to the two companles, requesting them fo guarantee the city against damage to the pipes of the Corporation.pe ESTERTAINMENT IN ST.MARY'S CHURCH, HOCHELAGA.A very enjoyable entertainment was given last night in the lecture hall of St.Mary's Episcopal Church, by the members of the Ladies\u2019 Ald.The programme was somewhat of a departure from the usual order, consisting of an oyster supper from 7 to 30, ater which the audience was entertained by some of the leading talent of the city, literary and
