\u2018Times\u2019 says that Mr.Andrew &.Draper, state commissioner of education, said last night that he thought that this state would not follow the President in spelling reform.Per: sonally he was in favor of mild spelling reform, but be did not believe that th\u2019 state educational department should tell the people how they must spell.He was of the opinion that the public generally would follow tue dictionaries for some time to come.The working staff of the simplified spelling board, in ils offices in the Metropolitan Life Building, rejoiced yeater- day at the adoption by President Roos=- velt of its propaganda.\u2018I do believe, said Dr.Charles P.G.Scott, the secretary of the board, \u2018that if President Roosevelt declared that it would be wise to annex the planet Mars to the United States the papers would immediately proceed to print column after column about it.\u2019 Prof.Brander Matthews, the chairman of the board, was not in the city rester- dav and consequently no immediate action conld be taken in recogintion of the signal heip given the spelling reformers.\u2018SERVES THEM RIGHT) SAYS G.B.SHAW.London, August 27.\u2014 Among the numerous opinions canvassed hy the newspapers of President Roosevelt's order with regard to a reform in spelling, George Bernard Shaw says: \u2018There has been nothing like it since Mahomet reformed the calendar by making the vear consist of 12 lunar months.It serves us right The thing had to be taken in hand somehow, and if we refused to attend to our own experts, we must make the hest of the two energetic amateurs, who have forced our hands\u2019 New York, Aug.27.\u2014The Simplified Spelling Board to-day announced that two distinguished British scholars had accepted membership to testify their sympathy with the new movement to Improve English orthography.One is Dr.JT A.iI.Murray, the senior editor of the great Oxford dictionary of the Eng lish language.of which the associate editor is Mr.Henry Bradley, who joined the simplitied spelling board some weeks ago.The other is Professor Joseph Wright.(itor of the English Dialect Dictionary.In announcing these elections, Mr.Brander Matthews, tharman of the board, said: \u2018Professor Skeat, the editor of the English Etymological Dictionary.became a member twe months ago.The sim- Rampolla MONTREAL, MONDAY, plified spelling board now contains che tditors of the three chief English die- tionaries, Webster, the Century and the Standard.The adhesion of the foremost linguistic authorities of both branches of the English-speaking race ought to be reaassuring to those who draaded that the recommendations of the simplified spelling board might work harm to our noble tongue or to its etymology.It serves to show that those who know most about English spelling believe that it ought to Le improved.\u2019 HAMILTON STREET RAILWAY TROUBLE COMPANY REJECTS OFFER OF EMPLOYEES., Hamilton, Ont., Aug.25.\u2014The meeting of the street railway employees began about one o'clock this morning and asted for several hours.The majority of the men were eager to declare a strike immediately, but Mr.Magnus Sinclair, of the International Board and the advisory committee, counselled giving the company another chance.Even then the motion for an immediate strike was defeated by a very small majority.Thig morning & committee of the men waited upon the company, prepared to concede many important points.They offered to make three contracts, one for each line, instead of one contract for all, upon which they had heretofore insisted.This was rejected.About noon the men offered further concessions, practically agreeing to the company\u2019s terms, and proposed that each group of employees deal with their own grievances, but in case of dispute they were to be aided in their negotiations by the president of the local union.This was also rejected.A meeting of the men will be called for Monday night to determine upon the strike question.AN ADVENTURESS SWINDLED CARDINAL RAMPOLLA BY FORGING HIS NAME.Rome, Aug.25\u2014The soi-disant niece of Cardinal Rampolla, who assumed the name of the Marchioness Venezia, now turns out to be a common Nea politan adventuress.She has been af- liated with the Mafia, and has already been convicted of swindling.Cardinal ] indignantly denies that she is any relative of his.and says he was never acquainted with her.He declares that his signatures to the letters used y the \u2018marchioness\u2019 are forgeries.Her chief victim was a papal guard, who was swindled out of several thousand pounds sterling, as well as the family jewels.The woman\u2019 trial, which will begin shortly, promises to reveal accomplices of high standing.WESTMINSTER VOLUNTEERS RIFLE TEAM SELECTED TO MEET THE 7th

Nipissing vein.A new vein was located about two weeks ago où this property, near working vein 25.It was about 13 inches wire where first discovered.It has been uncovered and followed for a distance of over fifty feet, and has gradually widened, until, on Friday, by careful and accurate measurement, it was found to be five feet wide, witn a surface outcropping of practically native silver.Prof.W.A.Parks, of Toronto University.who has just come from the north, is one of the men who held the tape when the measurement of the vein\u2019s width was taken.Dr.Kenny, of Sturgeon Falls, held the other end of the tape line.Both make the statement.A huge nugget, eight hundred pounds in weight, was taken out while these gentlemen were there, and Professor Parks says it will easily run seventy percent silver.One hundred and fifty thousand dollars\u2019 worth of silver nuggets will be exhibited at the Canadian Natiomal Exhibi Lion for the next two weeks in the buildings under the grand stand occupying the space devoted In previous vears to the Queen's jubilee esents, model battleships of the British navy and other remarkable exhibits.None have approached the Cobalt exhibit in public interest.This exhibit is given by the T, & N.O.Railway.and includes specimens of mines, forests, lakes and farms.THE McAULAY MURDER COLLINS LOCKED UP AT ST.JOHN TO AWAIT EXAMINATION.St.John, N.B., Aug.26.\u2014 Thomas Col- ling, held on suspicion of the murder of Mary Ann McAulay at New Ireland, Albert County.on Aug.19, was brought here late today from Charlotte County by Chief of Police Clark and Detective Killen.After being measured and put throu questioning, he was locked up at police headquarters.:Colling, the police say, told them he d been working at Father McAulay's, ahd left

taken charge of the case, FIRE AT DESERONTO \u2014 FOR A TIME THE WHOLE PAST- BRN PORTION OF TOWN WAS THREATENED.Deseronto, Ont, Aug.25.\u2014One of the most disastrous fires which has occurred here in recent years started this evening, and for about an hour threatened to wipe out the whole eastern portion of the town.The fire originated at the big trestle shed dock owned by the Rath- bun Company, and inside of a few minutes the whole structure was one mass of flames.There was a strong south wind blowing towards the town, and it was soon seen that everything was doomed if aid was not procured at once.Two fire engines and crews were brought from Napanee, and every person available was pressed into service to help keep down the blaze.The big trestle, refuse boilers, thousands of feet of lumber and cords of hard wood belonging to the Rathbun Company, and three dwelli houses were destroyed.The loss will amount to thousands of dollars.How the fire originated is a mystery.Two docks, with thousands of feet of Jumber.and St.Mark's Episcopal Church, also caught fire.CANADA PARTICIPATING THE DOMINION NOT BEING IGNORED IN NEGOTIATIONS BE TWEEN BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.London, Aug.25.\u2014The Associated Press is assured that there is nothing to justify the reported anxiety in Canada that a settlement of the boundary and fisheries questions between the United

London, Aug.27\u2014The Canadian Âs- sociated Press learns that the Canadian Government has informed Mr.I.Zung- will, the noted Jewish author, who proposed to establish a Jewish colony in Canada, that any project of the kind based on a grant of land to be reserved for a colony of Jews, or nominees of any Jewish organization, is entirely out of the question as far as Canada is concerned.PAPAL POLICY IN FRANCE FRENCH EPISCOPAL OPINION MISREPRESENTED.(Cable letter to N.Y.\u2018Evening Post.\u2019) London, Aug.25.\u2014lhe revelations appearing in the \u2018Siecle\u2019 and Temps\u2019 of Paris, make 1t clear vhat the recent Papal policy has been determined, not only without the consent of, but mm opposition to, the French episcopate.At the end of May, after prolonged deliberation, the bishops decided, by forty- eight votes against twenty-six, that tne new \u2018Associations Cultuelles\u2019 could be formed without violation of the canon law or detriment of the highest Cathé- lic interests.It is asserted by the \u2018Temps\u2019 that Pius X.was much displeased with this declaration and not only ignored it, but misrepresented French episcopal opinion in His encyclical.The \u201cTemps\u2019 further attributes the papal policy to the influence of Austria and Germany.POTATO BLIGHT IN IRELAND.The Manchester \u2018Guardian's\u2019 Dublin correspondent confirms the report of potato blight in western Ireland.There is no doubt that its ravages are serious and widespread.The bhght was first noticed in the Moycullen district and in Galway.\u2018The disease hae struck the crop everywhere during the severe rains of the last fortnight.It is too soon yet to talk of famine, but everything will now depend on the weather of the next few weeks.LOSS OF THE STIBBERT COLLECTION.It ;#

largely overlapped our Wallace collection.The conditions of the will prevented its amalagamation with any existing museum, and required a separate building for its accommodation.THE

Thursday in October, the eighteenth of the month.There has been a suggestion in favor of mas- ing it fall on a Monday but apparently this does mot meet with official favor.BOILER EXPLODED ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED.Little Falls, N.Y ., Aug.26.\u2014The boiler of freight locomotive No.2243, of the New York and Hudson River Railroad, exploded just west of here, causing the death of the engineer, Chris.Wagner, of Albany, and the fireman, Edward Hall, of Oneida.The engine was drawing 4 heavy east-bound freight, and had just passed tower 25 when the explosion occurred.The boiler was thrown from the trucks bigh in the air, and landed on its end 50 feet away, blocking all four tracks of the road.A freak of the explosion was that neither driving wheels vor tender of the engine was thrown from the tracks, but ran on with the train for a quarter of a mile.The engineer was thrown from the cab and struck on the rails of the passenger track.Death was almost instantaneous, as his skull was Irightfully crushed.The fireman was thrown from the cab on the other side of the engine, and his neck was broken.He was removed to the Herkimer Hospital, where death soon resulted.Eye-witnesses of the accident had narrow escapes from being injured by flying pieces of iron.One piece of the locomotive was hurled a quarter of a mile, and knocked down a telephone line.The engine had just taken water at Herkomer.NEW AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.Ottawa, Aug.26.\u2014This afternoon His Grace Archbishop Duhamel laid the cornerstone of the agriculture school to be erected by the monks of the Order of the Holy

HEIMER.Mr.S.Nordheimer, of Montreal, has just returned from a trip to Germany, where he went to inaugurate a hospital for consumptives near Hamburg, provided for in the will of one of his brothers who died recently.In the various cities which he visited, Mr.Nordheimer found that everyone seemed to realize the importance of Canada, and the advantage of keeping on good terms with her commercially.He also found that so far from there being any anti-British feel ing, there was in the higher commercial cities a strong desire for an agreement between the two countries, which would have the effect of smoothing away any friction existing at present, including Canada\u2019s surtax on German goods.Nor did the anti-German feeling which had been worked up in England recently appear to be at all resented by the Germans, but seemed to be looked upon as a result of misdirected newspaper articles.Mr.Nordheimer also went to England.He says that nothing is more erroneous than to suppose that all Englishmen were ignorant of Canadian interests.He was surprised at the number he met who had visited Canada from coast to coast, and could talk quite fluently about her affairs.AN IMPOSING CEREMONY THE DEDICATION OF STE.GENE NIEVE'S NEW CONVENT.An imposing ceremony took place at Ste.Genevieve yesterday afternoon, when Archbishop Bruchesi dedicated the new convent erected on the site of the one destroyed by fire during the night of April 21, 1905, when one sister, ten pupils and four female inmates lost their life.The new convent is a spacious stone building, four stories high, and measuring one hundred feet by fifty.It is provided with al] modern improvements and the protective appliances in case of fire are such as to render almost impossible a recurrence of last years\u2019 calamity.A large number of visitors from the city and surrounding parishes were present at the ceremony yesterday, among others being Mr.F.D.Monk, M.P., and Mr.J.A.Chauret, M, P.P.The proceedings opened with a service in the village church, at which Archbishop Bruchesi addressed the congregation.His Grace referred in feeling terms to the sad disaster of last year, and congratulated the parishioners upon being once more in possession of a first-class educational etablishment.After the sermon, the whole congregation marched in a procession to the new convent, where His Lordship performed the dedication ceremony.\u2014 ee PRESENTATION TO RAILWAY OFFICIAL.A complimentary dinner was tendered on Saturday evening to Mr.F.M.Spai- dal, C.P.R.superintendent of district No.2 and Montreal terminals, who has been appointed to the position of general superintendent of the Canadian Northern Railway at Toronto.Mr.T.W, Williams, superintendent at Farnham, Que., occupied the chair, and many well known railway officials were present.Mr.Spaidal was the recipient of a most acceptable present from his friends.Streit WHY HE STOLE THE BRASS.Joseph Vadeboncoeur, who was arrested on Friday night for stealing scrap brass from the Canadian Bronze Com- peny's works on Delomimier avenue.told the judge on Saturday, when he was arraigned, that he had a wife and family; that he was in debt, and that he stole the brass in order to pay off the back-money.Judge Choquet said the theft was not justitied, but in the interests of the man\u2019s wife and family he was inclined to take a lenient view of the case, unless the prosecution pressed for a conviction.The manager of the company said the firm had suffered some losses recently, owing to scrap brass being stolen.If, however, they found that this was as the prisoner maid, his first offence, they would not press for punishment.The prisoner was remanded until tomorrow.THE NEW QUARTERMASTER.Lieut.Thomas J.Holland to-day took up the duties of quartermaster of the police force, in succession to Mr.Kehoe, resigned.Lieut.Poulin has replaced Lieut.Holland in the office at the central station, but it has not been decided yet whether or not another new lieutenant

Thirty Days PRESIDENT PALMA HOPES FOR PEACE WITHOUT BLOODSHED.Havana.Aug.26.\u2014The deep anxiety of President Palma to expend every possible means for peace without bloodshed, and his desire to permit those who joined tbe insurrection under misguidance to repent and return to their homes unmolested, combined with the general wish toend a situation fraught with so much less and suffering, has led to consideration by the President and his cabinet of a project decreeing a thirty-day amnesty period, during which the insurrectionists are invited to lay down their arms and return to their homes.lt was proposeu to issue the decree tu-morrow, but persons close to the President strongly opposed the matter.General Montalvo, who is acting secretary of the interior, on leaving the Presiden: to-night, said that at present there Was no Iutention to issue amnesty, So far as actual contlict prevailed, Sunday proved to be a day of inactivity.The situation is so increasingly serious that it is tacitly demanded in all government circles that all enlargements of the army will not stop at any given number, but will extend the number.Many laborers are gathering in front of the bulletin boards, upon which are displayed the call for volunteers issued by President Palma on Sunday night.It was leurned to-day that several new insurgent bands had taken the field.Santa Clara 1s becoming a thorough insurrectionist province.Nome villages have become wholly insurrectionist, and even larger towns, in some cases, have taken up arms against the government.The attitude of the people is entirely a question of that of the leaders.A former mayor of Trinidad has suddenly placed himself at the head of 100 insurgents.The mayor of Las Cruces is leading a band from his town consisting of 200 men.Vol.Avales, who is in command of the government forces at San Juan de Martinez, is still waiting for orders and reinforcements.The province of Havana is kept nervous by unimportant encounters.A \u2018band of young women living in Havana have offered their services as nurses.The Associated Press learns that an amnesty decree is being drawn up, but that there is hesitancy as to whether it will be best policy to issue it.A CALL FOR 7 VOLUNTEERS.President Palma has officially called for volunteers to compose a national militia of infantry and cavalry and to co-operate with the government forces under the command of the chief of the rural guards.The pay of chiefs of battalions will be $200 a month, captains $100 a month, and soldiers $2 a day.All volunteers disabled will receive full pay during the period of disturbance.and in the event of their death the money will go to their dependent heirs.INSURGENTS DEFEATED.The government has not suffered a reverse of any consequence, and to-day it chronicled further victories.The principal of these came as a result of an attack by 150 mounted rural guards, under Major Gomes, upon Rei- noso's band of 200 insurgents at Casca- jale, near Santa Rosa.This engagement came at the end of a three days\u2019 pursuit of the enemy.A forced march brought the government forces suddenly upon the revolu- tioniste.After the first exchange of shots, the rural guards chased the enemy, who has dispersed and fled, and inflicted severe punishment with machetes, À re port of this occurrence received by General Rodriguez to-night says at least twenty of the revolutionists were killed or wounded.This makes the engagement the most serious yet fought.The rural guards did not sustain serious in.Jury.Minor encounters have resulted in uniform victories for the government.Those who are responsible for the con- uct of affairs are considerably encour aged, and are perfecting every day systematic methods to down the insurrec- ion.Furthermore, it is undeniable that there is some discouragement among the conspirators, who a week ago had hoped that the moderates would be swept out of power immediately.rer LEADING SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.\u201442nd

managed.The programme had been arranged with the intention ot avoiding any lengthy intervals, and this was done, even the tedium of short waits being enlivened by a series of events not entered on the programme, but arranged by the entertain- men: committee, and which proved most ener siminz.They included some far- ma, aequatie acts of a sufficiently Judi ernie character to keep the gathering in rois of laughter, and were most effec: = gone through.Unfor'unately, a temporary gloom was cee\u201d over the proceedings by the death, 2 the waterside, of Mr.John Laing, ore of Montreal's veteran oarsmen, the fither of several prominent paddlers and hind, however, and regained their first advantage in the turn, the Chateauguay captain taking his men out rather wide.G.T crossed Chateauguay\u2019s bow hali- way down the course, and despite hard spurts by the ohallengers, who were paddling in fine style, the home crew maintained their reputation and won a splendid race by a length apd a half, in 3 minutes 40 seconds.The time would have been better but for the fact that both canoes encountered the wash of launches that ought to have been kept off the course.in the second heat St.Lambert dropped out, and the Indian crew from Caughnawaga, which had come up for a special race with a picked G.T.crew.took their place.It was the Indians\u2019 first venture in a racing war canoe, and at the start thev were obviously out of time, bud they did remarkably well on the whole.A close fight hetween Longueuil and the G.T.men resulted in the latter pulling off the heat by a short length in 3 minutes 42 seconde.The final was even closer, Gi.T.No.1 winning by half a length, but a protest made by G.T.No.2 of fouling was upheld and the race declared off.Another close finish was that for the junior tandem canoes, in the heats, though the final was an easy matter for Miller and Boulter.G.Davidson dis plaved fine form in the senior single, won in great style by eight lengths after a very bad start, thus winning the Coughlin Cup.which will now remain the property of the Lachine Boating Club.The intermediate tandem canoe race was lost by Thompson and Cross, through the latter falling out of the canoe when they were well ahead.Bro- derick and Kelly passed the buoy first, and then they capsized slso.e intermediate single canoe provided the closest finish of the day, in the first heat, when Morrison, after following Kerr closely all the way, forged ahead by a foot in the last length.There were no other close finishes.In the special race between the G.T crew and the Indians the home club dressed up in Indian headgear, and the race was a perfect entertainment, the G.T.men indulging in a series of acrobatic performances, which culminated in the effective capsizing of their canoe at the close of the race.Following were the officials: \u2014Starter, J.Boaz; clerks of course.A.Bavne, D.Crutehlow, C.E.Vidal, P.Roberts.A.A.Reid.A.Veary.W.R.Marshall, W.Cuthbert, A.C.Paquette; timekeepers, A.Turnbull and M.O\u2019Brien; official scorer and announcer, Arthur E.Walker; judges at buoy.A.Buchanan and ech'lers, and the doyen of the (trand Truak Boating Club.The old gentle-; man had never missed a regatta, and he | was rowing about the course when he was seized with heart failure.He was; brought to shore and medical aid was immediately forthcoming, but in spite of | unremitting attention by Dr.J.J.Rossi and Dr (+ Crutchlow he never re-! covere 1 consciousness, and passed away | surrounded by relatives and friends.\u2019 Lanne : Tir body, covered by one of the club flags, was borne away to the late re-! ; > i sdence of the deceased, where a ser vice was held by the Very Rev, Canon Chambers, who was with him when he passed away.A meeting of the club committee was called, but it was resolved, in view of the fact that many events yet remained to be decided.to continue\u2019 «1th the regatta.The committee were bound to take into consideration the far that several thousands of people ha! paid for admission, that many clubs had entered for that special day.ani that to postpone the regatta would serion=ly interfere with other clubs\u2019 \u2018arrangements.Under these circumstances, taer had no option but to proceed.; This snort proved excellent.Though | ther: wis nothing in the shape of ve- cord-breaking, \u2018he time made was dis -

SAILOR.The funeral of Maurice Colin, one of the sailors of the French man-of-war \u2018De- six\u201d who was accidentally drowned a few days: ago, took place at Quebec on Saturday last, and was the occasion of much sympathy being displayed by the people of the old city of Champlain towards their cousins beyond the sea.A squad of policemen, the members of the Champlain Guard.and delegates from the different sections of the St.Jean Baptiste Society joined with the officers and men of the two French warships in the funeral cortège; flags were at half-mast on severa] buildings, and the stores were closed along the route of the procession.The service was held in the old Church of St.Roch, and among those present were Mr.Kleezkowski.consul of France; Major Sheppard, representing the Lieu- tenant-Governor, and Admiral Boni de Lapeyrere, After the service the remains were conveyed to the St, Charles Cemetery for interment.Before the bodv was placed in the grave Admiral de Lapeyrere delivered a short address, in the course of which he said that the sympathies shown on Canadian soil would certainly be a consolation for the bereaved mother of the poor young sailor.N EW

$T.THOMAS\u2019S CHURCH CORNER-STONE OF THE NEW BUILDING ON SHERBROOKE STREET WAS LAID ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON.The corner-stone of the new Church of St.Thomas was laid on Saturday afternoon under very favorable auspices, by Bishop Carmichael.The building, which is situated at the corner of Sherbrooke street and Delorimier avenue will, it ix hoped, be completed and open for public worship in December.It will be mainly of brick, with stone trimmings, built to the plans of Messrs.Taylor, Hogle and Davis.There will be a large nave, a chancel, and a chapel under the chancel.The Sunday-school will be in the basement.Services will continue to be held in the old church until the completion f the new one.There was a large attendance of the publie at the ceremony.The opening ymn was \u201cThe Church\u2019 One Foundation,\u201d after which the rector, the Rev.Canon Renaud, said he had received letters expressing regret at their _inability to be present from Archbishop Bond (by order of his medical adviser), Dean Evans, the Rev.Dr.Symonds, the Rev.Edmund Wood, the Rev.G.and Dr.L.H.Davidson, K.C.In the course of a brief address, the rector announced that the Archbishop had extended the parish of St.Thomas, and, towards their new church Mr.John Thomas Molson had generously contributed 810,000.To the father of Mr.Molson they owed the bells and the clock in the tower of their old church on Notre Dame street, and these would be removed to the new church.After responsive readings, led by Bishop Carmichael, concluding with the Lord\u2019s Praver, Mr.Brunet, the contractor, presented to His Lordship a silver trowel with which to lay the stone.The latter, which is placed in the north-east corner of the tower, bears the simple inscription: \u2018St.Thomas Church, 1841-1908.The stone having been duly laid, Archdeacon Norton said that day was one of hope and joy.Ie paid a tribute to the friends of St.Thomas Church and the generosity of Mr.John Thomas Molson.Miss Renaud having presented to Bishop Carmichael a bouquet of roses and chrysanthemums for Mrs.Carmichael, an offertory in aid of the building fund was taken up, after which taking begun so auspiciously that da might be continued to the glory of God.he Rev.Prof.Howard remarked that the laying of the cornerstone demonstrated to all who would know it, that whatever the rest of mankind might think, they had faith in God.Bighop Carmichael observed that the endowments of the great mother church of England had not, as a rule, been given by the state or accumulated from vast appropriations made by parliament.To a very large extent they had been the result of the private individual generosity of the members of the church, who thought there was no grander work ther could do for God than to aid in building up the church of their fathers.The conditions of life in this country were totally different from those of England.We worked along our own lines, but sometimes we came across that splendid act which had ever been characteristic of England.and among these __ that the endowment of that church by the Molson family stood as a most unmistakable evidence.That endowment.which had been called the Mol- son gift.had, under God.been a great i blessing to the congregation of St.| Thomas, since it had given them four i of, perhaps.the best clergymen that any congregation could have\u2014the Rev.i Charles Bancroft, the Rev.James Me- | Leod, Rural Dean Lindsay and the Rev.Canon Renaud.For the new undertaking he wished every blessing and every success.His Lordship then pronounced the benediction, and the proceedings were at an end.; Among those who accompanied the bishop were: The Ven.Archdeacon Norton, the Ven.Archdeacon Ker, the Rev.Prof.Howard, the Rev.Canon Renaud, the Rev.Principal Benoit.the Rev.Messra.H.Gomery.E.MeManus, H.0.Loiselle.J.M.Jordan, Canon Rollit and T.Brown.Others present were Messrs.S.W.Martin, rector\u2019s warden: Thos.Edwards, people\u2019s warden: Herbert Molson, Alexander Robertson.Robert Slack and Isaac Huckle.the last-named of whom has been connected with Kt.Themas Church since 1864.The choir on Saturday afternoon was under the direction of Mr.Martin, voluntary organist and choirmaster.who has been connected with St Thomas\u2019s Church for twenty-five years.The Archbishop.in his letter to Canon Renaud, said:\u2014 \u2018IT

people could mot get admission.The ravages of alcoholism were eloquently described by the lecturer, and the well chosen illustrations shown with calcium light produced a marked effect.The Rev.ther made it a point to denounce women's drinking clube, which he declared to exist in Montreal.He said that such clubs could be found in the best society, and women Were known to pass their evenings playing cards and drinking gin, those women always finding some kind dealer ready to provide them with liquor.and to cause husbands to wonder how it is their \u2018grocery\u2019 bille run so high.He

O.Stensland, the fugitive Chicago bank wrecker, appears to have carried on his robberies of the bank of which he was president in the most exact and business-like manner.Among his papers after his flight a book was discovered in which he kept a regular account of the money he appropriated, and of how he used it in his gambling transactions.Thus his methodical business habits have fur nished the

that it is the easiest and cheapest way of disposing of sewage Is no reason why cities situated up-stream should be permitted to poison those below them.Montreal herself should heed this warning in the sanitary engineering which she may henceforth undertake as there are those who drink the water that flows past her dooms.But governments are beginning to recognize the fact that the public benlth is a matter of the very hignest importance, requiring more and thorough regulation than what 1s possible or likely at the hands of any municipal government extensive \u2014_\u2014\u2014 We should think the most likely effect of the foolhardy and entirely acts of the group of young swaggerers nr Russia who ll themselves revolutionists wicked would be to make revolutionism hateful to the whole nation.For the same roa- son for which a young man climbs ronnd the salient beetling angle of a precipice, or goes to shoot tigers mn the jungle, or volunteers for a war towards which he satistics himself he has some duty, these young people crammed with sensationist romance, and following the line of highest heroics as 1t opens to them, throw themselves into the game of danger and destruction.Not knowing what wll come of their acts, they dare each other to the niost bloo leurdling crimes.Girls and young men, ving in outlawry, tau: cach other as a test of nerve into reckless, often self-immolating, crimes.To ave the lurking terrors that in consequence Jie in every olficial path requires more than equal courage and nerve.To face the probability of sudden «alamity, year ir and year out.in the maturity of life.is a far greater strain on the courage than to perform, in youth, an ocrasionnl daring feat at the utmost risk of life.Yet we find men and women equal to both forms of daring.of the people, who are still human, look upon these infernal deeds of fanaticism they will surely conclude that whatever is good for Russia this socalled revolu- tionism is not.Premier Stolypin, on whose life this last attempt was made, is certainly a well-meaning and patriotic man, and his whole heart was set on solving the Russian problem and bringing about reform without chaos.before him had attempted such sweeping changes on behalf of the pcople.The When the mass No one an or I.revolutionists resented his strong-handed measures.They also hate any one that seerus likely to frustrate their anarchic aims._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CARNEGESE, When it was proposed in the fifties to adopt the decimal system of book keeping in Canada, there were those who objected to it.They did not pretend that it would not simplify business amazingly, but that was its fault.It would enable every Tom, Dick and Harry to gu inco business with no training at all.It is not known to every one now that before that, although dollar bills were in full use, we did all our business in pounds, shillings and pence, and it was quite a little calculation to make change.Sure enough, it was not every shop attendant that could sum up a bill of odds and ends sold over a counter, and still oftener did the customer get confused in trying to check the calculation, and sure enough a class of saleswomen trained arithmetically can now do the work.worse Yet we presume mistakes are fewer now than then.The same conservatism marks the Englishman in every department of life.Englishmen have been found using antiquated agricultural implements which cost much unnecessary manual labor, and which would attract ridicule on this side of the sea, not because they could not have had steel for iron, if they wanted it, but because they had always done it that way.Their historic sense was outraged by the suggestion of a change.When street rail: ways were first laid in London the people turned out and tore up the tracks.They were a nasty Yankee nuisance.Such is the epirit in which the London press is receiving the spelling reform which they call C'arnegese, because Mr.Carnegie encouraged it financially and otherwise.I'he report that Mr.Roosevelt proposes to put state papers into the reform spelling has raised the hilarity of the London press, which treats the new spelling as an Americanism.It may be called so perhaps, not only because it has met with its supporters chiefly in the United States, but because speaking generally the vulgar taste of that country is as stupidly greedy of change as that of Britain is opposed to it.The papers which ridicule this change do not and caunot question the truth that English spelling, being untrue to the speech, is a great obstruction to the acquirement of the English language, both by those born to it and by strangers, that it is a handicap to the English race, and that it is a serious hindrance to the general progress of civilization through making our language as a medium of intercourse vastly more difficult of acquirement.These facts are as obvious as that the £.s.d.system was more cumbrous than the decimal or a sharp light steel hoe more effective than a heavy iron.Their appeal ix to the historic associations of our spelling, hut this is very far from being as true as Hodge's appeal to history on behalf of his iron hoe.It is indeed little else but an exposure of ig- noranee, as bevond two centuries back we had no rules as to spelliug.The Johnsonese spelling is often as false to history as it is to sound.Indeed, the reform proposals so far as already suggested are In most cases truer to history than those they supplant.Mad the question been whether such piccemeal work was a sufficient advantage to warrant the trouble and jar of adepting it and the facing of an untold amount of unreisoning prejudice on its hebalf there might have been far stand: ing ground for opposition.As the eldr Weller used to think with regard to the widows, there might be reasonable doubt whether it is worth while going through so much for =o little.The changes proposed are but an infinitesimal approach to what ix right, namely.a spelling which will eanvey the sounds.We want, for instance, when we see a word spelt, say Carnegie, to know by looking at it.and without having to be told, whether to prenounee it Cart\u2019 egy or Lar negie or Car magie or Car neggie (all of these are common}, or verhaps Car neejv, or, making it French, Car may zheeo or any of some six or seven other possible ways.The spelling is absclutely no guide at ail.+ js a fact that the name Elgin, so fo miliar in Britain, and one wouid think wherever Foglish is spoken, is proneur- ed Eljn in Chicago.which has a great suburb of that name.This 12 a literate piece of illiteracy.Ilad the people not gone by the spelling they would not have revealed their ignorance ol the word.The name of Chicago itseif, when that city wits vounger, we have heard pronounced by people from Britain as Chick ago, Che cay go and Che cah go.whereas, against all spelling, we call it Shecawgo.There is no sense in bamboozling our- thus.Let us tion such folly! Dors not tion spell shun?The best service that the adoption of the so called reform spelling can render is tlie pulling dewn of the idol of Johnsonese spelling.When that is done, we may hope for a spelling that will be true.selves THE SECOND LIFE GUARDS BAND.Comparison is useless in writing of bands.Each organization has its own individuality, its own special qualities, and no two conductors on earth agree as to the manner in which this or that composition shall be interpreted.To say, therefore, that this band is better than that band, or that such and such an organization plays a certain work better than some other.is useless, conveying no meaning.The band of His Majesty's Second Life Guards may ac- patience employed and wru ignorance so vandid!'y con at present on the subject on was something of roman oneself fauve to face witn me - lems as yet unsolved by anon.vet left to conauer.aml coe ered round who in solve those problems, or «po Thus Mr.Strut: cones-ehy own attempts to tion between radium a prets discover soi and \u20ac heat ot the earth.15 ns - supposed,\u201d said he, \u2018the ti heat où the carth is meres \u20ac of the heat generated by This theory appear-d wii, only possible one, but was o;su og objection that the time that curately be described as one of the | clap since the farth we .Q + * a= re, 0 most famous military bands in Eng- {came on this view very or .« oy ta qe y ae Wo i !

nudnight.In the clubs, where intense indignation prevails, and the prediction freely was made tbat the revolutionaries would pay dearly for such senseless crimes, and no doubt was entertained that their only effect would be to drive the Government to more \u201csevere methods of repression.According to statements of the sur- viors, none of the overpowering fumes accompanying the use of melinite, lydite or pyroxoline, were noticed after the explosion, and 1t is thought the bomb was charged with camphor and dynamite, which are extensively used in loading the revolutionary bombs, and which explosive was cmployed in the assassination of Alexander ll.Among its advantages is the fact that it is easier and more safely handled than ordinary dyn- mite, aud it is more powerful.A re volutionist with whom the correspondent of the Associated Press conversed conjectured that the bomb probably was the one prepared last summer for the assassination of General Trepoff, and which was gotten up so as to resemble «a hundsome, gilded vase, or else was one \"similar to it.A woman was to have EL [see the bomb to General Trepoff, but she lost her nerve, owing to a long wait in his anteroom, and departed without seeing the general.Later the woman was arrested, but the bomb, which was a very expensive article, and difficult to prepare, is said to bave been held in reserve for another occasion.While the correspondent of the As sociated Press was at the Stolypin villa, a piece of torn, bloody paper was taken from the fragments of flesh representing the dead revolutionists.This was the Premier's sentence of death passed on him by the tighting organization of the Social Revolutionists, and which, contrary to the usual custom, Was not sent to the Premier in advance.With what was left of the revolutionists, three revolvers, two of them automatic pistols, were found.Immediately after the outrage the long avenue of lime trees in which the Stolypin villa is situated, was barred at both ends by cavalry, and no one was allowed to pass, except high official personages going to the house to express their condolences, and ascertain the full extent of the calamity.Additional troops soon arrived from all directions, and excited crowds gathered in the neighboring streets.M.Moukhanofi, a member of the late parliament, who at the time of the explosion was waiting to see Pr> Pier Stolypin, seeking permission to hold a congress of the Constitutional Democratic party, says: \u2018I was sitting with some other visitors, including several ladies.at a long table in tne walling: room, M.Stolypin then being engaged with M.Polivanoff, a marshall of the nobility of the Provinces of Simbirsk, and the president of the Simbirsk deputation, After waiting for

did not even hear the explosion.When I recovered consciousness, I saw that the ceiling and one of the walls were gone add that the room was heaped with debris irem above.\u201cThe first words I heard came from the lips of a mother superior, who was standing among the ruins in a corner of the room, praving before an ikon, \u201cSave us, save us,\u201d and crossing herself.She witx one of six who

of palaces and residences formerly was a favorite method of the Nihilists.but has not been used of recent vears.The Emperor Nicholas, when apprised of to-dav's disaster.sent his personal

ASSASSINATED Five Shots Fired Into His Back by a Young Girl.St.Petersburg.Aug.26.\u2014Saturday\u2019s unsuccessful attempt on the life of Premier Stolypin, with its sickening.useless slanghter of 22 persons, was followed to-night.by another revolutionary outrage, ii which Gen.Min.commander the \u2018Seminovsky Guards Regiment, \u2014 ey who since his promotion to be a general, has been attached as a nal adjutant to the suite of the Hnperor, was killed on the platform station at Peterhof by a young woman, who fired five shots into his body, and then, without resistance, submitted to arrest.The capture of the girl was effected by Gen.Min wife, who held her until the arrival of the officer.This was the third attempt on the life of Gen.Min.Gen.Min was returning from the capital from his summer residence.and had just greeted his wife and daughter on the station platform, when a young woman, almost a girl, approached from behind and fired two shots into his back and then three shots more into his body as it sank to the ground.Further shots were prevented by Madame Min, who threw herself upon the mur- dress, and seized her hand which held the pistol.The woman did mot attempt to escape, but_ehe cautioned Madame Min not tp touch a handbag which she placed on the platform before shooting the general, exclaiming that it contained a bomb.To the police the girl acknowledged that she had done the deed, saving she had executed the sentence of the fight ing organization of the Revolutionists, but she refused to give her name.By a remarkable mischance, General Min last week dismissed the bodyguard which had accompanied him since the first attempt was made on his life, saying that the ordinary police would be sufficient to guard him.During the Moscow revolt, Min was a colonel commanding the first battalion of Seminovsky Guards, which operated within the city itself.The second battalion of the Guard, under command of Colonel Riman.conducted repressions along the railway to Kazan, for which acts Min was condemned to death.Undeterred by several attempts, Min accepted an appointment with M.Skelon, Governor of Warsaw.after the bomb outrages at Warsaw, and he left two days ago to assist in the repression of anarchy in Poland.TWO POLICEMEN BLOWN UP.Bensin, Russian Poland.Aug.24\u2014A bomb to-day was thrown at a patrol], commanded by Police Captain Jakubik.and

legal one to perform, but who ,acver for ap instant forgot that he \u2018embodied the law\u2019 under all circumstances.On one occasion the judge was acting as au auc tioneer to dispose of the siu.k of a re- taller who had died a shor: time before.While the auction was in progress a certain bidder wus the cause of a disturbance that finally so exasperated tae auctioneer that he suddenly assumes his character of judge aud flned the offender in the sum of 325 for contempt of court.Of course an application for the remission of the fine was immediately filed by an attorney on the ground that there had been no contempt of court.The attorney maintained that the judge, when acting as auctioneer, was not a court, and was ot, therefore, liable to coatempt.The judge, wo heard this application with increasing wrath, assumed every bit of dignity he possessed, and, glaring flercely at the attorney, said: \u2018Sir, I would irvite your attention to the tact that I am the judge of this county under any and all circumstances: I am, sir, the judge from the rising of tse sua to the setting of the same!

possession of his wonted health and sj'itrits, He had been about the grounds THE LATE MR.JOHN LAING.(since an early hour, and had followed «witli interest cach of the many events, in several of which his sons and grandsons had taken part.At about 4.30 o'clock he was seen to fall forward in his boat as though overtaken by weakness.Mr.John Laing, jr.his son, happened to be rowing alongside at the time with his family.and he at once went to hie father's assistance.He got into his father's boat and rowed towards the landing.Ilere Mr.Laing was lifted out, jand efforts were made to revive him.When it was realized that his condition | was more serious than a passing weak- mess, a call was made for medical assistance.Doctors G.C.Crutehlow and J.iJ.Ross.who were amongst the spectators, promptly responded, but their efforts were unavailing, and a few minutes afterward the veteran passed away in the midst of a number of relatives, among whom were Miss Agnes Laing, * Mrs.HH.F.Laing, Walter, Robert and John Laing.He never regained consciousness, Mr.Laing was recognized as the dean of the boat club, having been one of its founders, a life member of some twenty | years\u2019 standing, and

Havana, Aug.27.\u2014News from the somewhat uncertain shifting \u2018front\u2019 is meagre early to-day, due in a measure to the government's determination that false reports from insurgent sources shall not be generally circulated.The expected battle in the viemity of ail- ure of the government forces to teke the offensive against the insurgents Guerra, and the latter\u2019s hesitancy in striking the promised blow encourage the hope that peace may be secured without great bloodshed.It is hinted in some quarters that the | insurgents do not seriously contemplate the overthrow of the government, and would be quite satisfied if by making a show of force they could frighten or persuade President Palma to restore | certain deposed Liberals to office and make concessions as to the conduct of fulure elections.; Claims and counter-claims are _frequent, but there is comparatively little actual fighting.At the Palace little is given out.The enrollment of volunteers continues, horses are being re quisitioned, and army nurses are being sent to the front.Skirmishes between small bands continue.From the field, Col.Asbert has sent the following message to the palace: \u2014 ; We have taken up arms against the government because we have reached the conclusion that the law and justice are not to be established in thig country by the will of the government, and because the administration, protected by an unscrupulous judiciary.daily commits outrages upon the constitution and despoils our people of their legitimate rights.It ie our sole desire to establish the supreme rule of law and restore affairs where they were before the last election.\u2018We do not intend to wage a bloody war, because we look carefully when it comes to the point of sacrificing our brothers.Only when we are attacked by government forces will we attempt to defend ourselves, even then avoiding bloodshed as far as possible\u2019 ; A correspondent at Pinar del Rio, of the Havana

ACQUIRE ALL PRINCIPAL PLANTS IN UNITED STATES.Chicago, Aug.27.\u2014The Standard Oil Company has taken steps toward uc- quiring ownership of all the principal stilling plants in the United States according to a despatch from Peoria, Ills, to the \u2018Tribune.\u2019 A conference was held on Friday last in Chicago between representatives of the distilling interests and the Standard Oil Company.A price has been set upon every distillery in Peoria and indications are a deal will be effected and the plants will pass into the bands of the Standard BOOM.It 15 sid the price asked was considered too high by the Standard Oil pzo- ple and the latter threatened, 1! suituble terms could not be reached, to build dis tillng howses of their own.The chief reason of this action on the part of the Standard Oil Company was the recent passage of the Alcohol Biii by Congress.Experts employed by the Rockefeller interzsts, after experiinentinz, reported their product cannot be manufactured cheaply emough to make it a scrious competitior of gasolene, but that it could be used in the manufacture of mercerized cotton and other fabrics, and would be an extremely favorable product to control.H.M.S.+ AFRICA.\u2019 NEW BRITISH BATTLESHIP SAID TO BE DEFBCTIVE.ds Chatham, Eng., Aug.25.\u2014The trials of the new first-class Fattieship \u2018Africa of 16,350 tons, have been postponed,

navy are using to urge the Admiralty to adopt a more forward policy.Besides the \u2018Africa.\u2019 no less than seven, battleships have been placed outy of ao tion within a few months.& MUST MAKE BETTER CHEESE Sweeping Changes Urged by the Montreal Produce Association PROPOSED THAT MANUFACTURERS BE EXAMINED AND FAC TORIES INSPECTED.At the suggestion of the Montreal Wholesale Produce Association the government has decided on radical reforms in connection with the manufacture of cheese and butter throughout the minion.A deputation from the association waited on the Federal euthorities re cently, when the dairy question as affecting more especially the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, was discussed at length.The Montreal merchants earnestly placed before the government the urgent need of immediate reforms in the methods of manufacture of dairy products.The most important change recommended was to the effect that makers, in future, be compelled to pass a government examination and obtain a certificate of competency to manufacture cheese.Another matter of importance to the trade is the proposal that all factories before they are permitted to make cheese, should be carefully inepected by the provincial health authorities and obtain from them a certificate as to the sanitary condition and situation of the factory.The produce merchants have alco requested the government to make more thorough fe work of inspection throughout the country and to report all factories where the slightest signs are present of insanitary surroundings.According to information received on \"Change th\u2018e morning from Ottawa, it was stated that the government will most likely carry out the reforms re commended by the Montreal Produce Association, and that the proposed new regulations will come into force this auturan.It is expected that the government will shortly make an announcement on the matter.MORE POCKET PICKING President of Butchers\u2019 Association Relieved of

choosing the longest route, he journeyed as fur as Dominion Park.He wished to keep his seat and return direct to the city, but he was ordered by the conductor to leave the car and conform with the

Diamond Match Company to form an international trust in matches on two continents.An English match concern dominated by Bryant and May wlll be taken into the combination.Negotlations for the formation of the trust have been in progress since the Russo-Japanese war.They were started by Russell Hawkins, of New York, who was sent to Japan a year ago.Japan for years has carefully nursed its match-making industry.The Empire is an important factor in the distribution of the product throughout the Far East.The factories of the Empire at first were increased in capacity so as to meet the

Nora's patience was, however, rewarded at last by a choice of coarse but white linen, blue and white stock: ings, and printed calico, and bright colored stuff petticoats.From the elder girl she borrowed one of the latter, as it suited her in length, from the younger, a slim maiden of thirteen, a black bodice and a scarlet and green kerchief; a pair of well-knit stockings took the form of her feet.but no shoes could be found in which she could walk, until, after having dried and freshly plaited her hair, it oceurred to the girls that \u2018brother Hansl's new Sunday boots would not be à bit too small for the young ladv,\u2019 and the Sunday boots of strong leather, double soled, well garnished with nails, and made to lace in front wifh thongs, were forthwith produced.Fortunately they proved neither too long, nor very much too wide, and Nora, perfectly convinced of the impossibility of ever again being able to make use of her own, wes but too glad to avoid the contingency of being boot or shoeless the next day when the time came for her return to Almenau.The passage outside the room was very dark.and as one of the girls re mained behind to put everything in order again, and.close the wardrobes, un- coremoniously retaining the light for that purpose, Nora laid her hand on the arm of the pther, and so groped her wav to the staircase.At the foot of it, a red-flamed ttering candle in his hand, stood the fisherman's son, and near him Torp, completely equipped as a peasant, and looking remarkably well in a dress peculiarly caloulated to show to advantage his well-proportioned muscular figure.With his arms folded, and head thrown back, he leaned against the open door of the kitchen, and Nora asked herself was it possible that the calm, indolently lounging personage before her could the man whose unremitting energy and athletic strength she had during that day, so much against her inclination, been forced to admire.Greatly she rejoiced that he had spurned her thanks, and reminded her so opportunely that she had released him from imprisonment.And it was true, quite true, that she had heen brought into an unpleasant predicament, and some danger, by her effort to relieve him from a situation just as unpleasant, and nearly a# perilous, as her own had been subsequently.In short.as he had himself obeerved, she had been useful to him.and he to her, and now they were mutually free from all obligation.; \u2018Anything you please\u201d said Torp at that moment.as if in answer to some question on the part of the fisherman\u2019s wife: \u2018give us anything you please, provided it be quickly.People who have not eaten for so many hours are not likely to be dainty, and a walk across the mountains from the Wild Alp In such weather would give any one an appetite.\u2019 The woman laughed, threw fresh wood on the hearth to hurry the process of cooking; and as the flickering flame lighted up Torp's features, he bore so strong a resemblance to his mother.especially as Nora remembered her, sitting by the fireplace at The Willows on the memorable last evening there, that all her bitter feelings towards his family.and nersonal (islike to himself, returned with double force, and she passed on in silence to the drawing-room, thinking how much she could have enjoyed =o pleasant a termination to her mountain adventure had any one but Torp been her companion.(To be continued.)
