Mr Goldman\u2014Never.; Mr.Shepley then took up the question of rebating.Witness would not admit that rebating was a customary thing among agents.Mr.Shepley\u2014Is it your policy to shut your eves to it, or have you no means of finding out?Witness 1eplied that there was no wwe of finding out.The general busi- uezs of the company indicated that the agents of the North American Life were about the rame as agents vf other com- panes in this respect.Conversations he lad had with people who are largely in- gared had brought him to this conclu sion.He had Heard of three Toronto gentlemen who have three large policies in three companies in order to take advantage of the rebates.; \u201cOf course I'm opposed to it,\u201d said the witness, when asked if he was opposed ta the rebate system.He would not do away with it in the North American Lite Company if the other companies did not do away with it, because it \u201could destroy the business of his com- NN.Mr.Shepley\u2014Are rebates general in the insurance business?.Wiiness\u2014| should think so.Mr.Shepley\u2014Has there ever been an 1ttempt by the companies to organ'ze szainst the rebate system?Mr.Goldman answered that seven

Visitors COMMENT FREQUENTLY UHARAU- TERIZES PRACTICE AS DIS- ,GRAOKFUL.The construction of huge bill boards, some of them covemng blocks troni- ing on the most prominent sireets, 1s giving Tise to ganeral complaint among Montreal citizens, especially among the J residents of the west and north ends of the city.St.Catherine street west and Windsor street are gounted to us examples of the growth of these unsightly boards.lt is said that certain properyy owners desirous of holding the:r land for an increase in value, have decided, in the meantime, to rent the sites for the purpose of erecting huge fences on which are pasted all kinds of bills, In return the owners receive good remuneration and are content practically to spoil the general appearance of the street as wel as depreciate the surrounding properties, so ong as they derive a profit.Those who are considering the question of taking up the matter and plac- \u2018ing it before the proper authorities, claim \u2018that euoh a condition of affairs should mot.be permitted, as it tence to place Montreal in the eyes of strangers and tourists in a most unfavorable light, Those who are anx- tous to ree Montreal beauwtified as iC éhould be soundly condemn this practice.It has been remarked by tourists that the authoritiss in refined cities would hot tolerate such a disfiguration of their main thoroughfares, and, moreover, their citizens would mot allow frontage space to be put to such a use for all the money in their banks.\u2018What kind of taste have you in Montreal, anyway ?is a frejuent query by vise- Echo aloie

Salvage and Wrecking Company, was sent to her assistance, and succeeded in towing the stranded boat away with a stout cable.No leak or damage df any kind oould be discovered after a rigid in-

Persistent treaiment is always necessary, but you can depend on it that Dr.Chase\u2019s Ointment will cure you.Relief will come after the first few applications, and the healing process will be gradual and natural.It is due to its remarkable record in the cure of eczema that Dr.Chase's Ointment has become known the world over.For every form of itching skin disease or skin irritation it is of incalculable worth.Mothers use Dr.Chase\u2019s Ointment for the chafing and skin troubles of their babies in preference to unsanitary pore- clogging powders.60 cents a box.at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co, ronto.ciety of Montreal, it was unanimously 19 Food.THE PURE FOOD SHOW on your own table is of vital importance to you, The purity of your bread is absolutely imperative if you wish for good health.The flour upon which you can depend every time for absolute purity\u2014purity obtained without sacrificing the nourishing properties of the wheat\u2014is \u201cFive Roses.\u201d at our stand at the Pure Food Show in the Victoria Rink and ask for a free sample of \u201cFive Roses\u201d Flour or our Call \u201c Breakiast LAKE OF THE WOODS MILLING CO.LIMITED.RS me DID YOU GET A MAN YET?to connect your gas stove?!

SIGN A TREATY WITH MEXICO BEGARDING RIO GRANDE WATERS.Albany, N.Y., May 21.\u2014Governor Higgins to-day vetoed the bill pas:ed vy the Legislature to regulate the amount of water which may ve taken rrom .N.a- gara river for power purposes.ln his veto memorandum the Governor poinis out that the bill \u2018provides that the rights of existing corporations shall be limited and restricted to take from the river \u201ca quantity of water equal to the quantity which said corporations can by virtue of their present rights draw under their present charters.\u201d .\u2018This provision,\u201d says the Governor, \u2018either is meaningless as being only declaratory of present law, or eis¢ it doubles the quantity of water which such : corporaticas may lawtully use.The bill was one of a series introduced by Mr.Foelker, of King\u2019s county.affect- lyvg Niagara Falls.\u2018I recommend to the Legislature,\u201d said the Governor, \u2018that a limit be placed upon the amount of water which may be taken from Niagara river by existing active power companies.lo my mind this implied legislation fixing the maximum number of cubic feet per second that might lawfully be drawn from the river by such companies.\u2018The legislative intent doubtless was to belp save Niagara, but the expression of such intent by this bill is not felicitous, Approval thereof on my part would under no conditions place the slightest restriction upon the power companies or upon future legislatures, and it might have a diametrically opposite result from that intended.Washington, May 21.\u2014Mr.Elihu Root, Secretary of State for the United States, und Mr.Casausas, ambassador for the Mexican Government, to-day signed a treaty regulating the use of the waters of the Rio Grande, which, if approved by the Senate, will remove what bas been for twenty years past a source of friction in the relations of the two coun- ries.THE POPE'S CUNDITION THE PONTIFF SAID TO BE SUFFERING FROM HEART DISEASE.London, May 21.\u2014The Rome correspondents generally agree that the Pope, although still in bed, 1s better, and tuat his condition is not alarming, but the \u2018Chronicle\u2019s\u2019 correspondent says that within the inner circle «of the papal court it is no secret that the Pope is suffering from an attack of angina, to which he has long been subject.Quite recently an emipent prelate of the Pope\u2019s own household expressed the anxiety of the Pontiff\u2019s immediate friends on this score.Moreover, it 18 not uncommon at fashionable ecclesiastical reunions to hear fears expressed that the days of the present Pontiff are numbered.No one who has seen the Pope, particularly during the last twelve months, can have failed to have been struck by the cvidences cf the rapid encroachment of old age.His characteristic weariness 1s intensified.More: \u2018| over, what is not #0 generally known 13 that the Pope is profoundly afflicted by the systematic boycott to which he is actually subjected by a very great maj.r- ity of the cardinals resident in Rome, who altogether disapprove of his policy, manners and methods.They never darken his dwelling nor that ci the Cardinal Secretary of State, except when they are obliged to by strict duty.A well-known papal dignitary said a few days ago in the court yard of the Vatican: \u2018l was just musing on the change that has come over this place since the | days of Leo XIII, and on the then constant flow of cardinals, diplomats and great people of every sort, and now to think of the sad abandonment in which this good-hearted pontiff is left.There are nearly thirty cardinals domiciled in the Eternal City, but they are no longer the Pope\u2019s councillors.Not a cardi nal\u2019s carriage rattles willingly across this courtyard to the Pope\u2019s door, but those of the two extremists, Cardinal Oroglia Di San Stefano and Cardinal Vives y Tuto.DIED OF GLANDBRS A NORTH-WEST FARMER'S AWFUL DEATH\u2014HIS WIFE AND A NEIGHBOR LL.Morden, Man, May
