« JEANIE'\u2014CAPTAINS TELL THEIR STORIES Seattle, Wash,, Nov.19.\u2014The steamer Dix, Captain P.Lermon, bound from geattle to Port Blakely, with passengers, sank two miles north of Alli Point, in Puget Sound, shortly after seven o\u2019clock last night, after having collided with the steamship \u2018Jeanie,\u2019 Captain P.H.Mason, vi the Alaska Coast Company.Forty-three passengers and members of the crew of the \u2018Dix\u2019 are missing, and 5; were saved.The \u2018Dix\u2019 is a total wreck.The \u2018Jeanie\u2019 was not injured in the least.The master of the \u2018ix\u2019 was saved.The collision occurred while the Sound was almost as smooth as a mill-pond, and after the boats had been steaming within aight of each other for « quarter of an hour.The \u2018Jeanie\u2019 was backing when she coi- lided with the \u2018Dix,\u2019 and the impact was slight.The \u2018Dix\u2019 was struck abait of amidships on the starboard side.She sisted heavily to port for a brief period, righted herself, then sank stern first.There was hardly time to launch lie rafts or boats before she was almost entirely submerged.Passengers jumped from the decks into the water; women screamed, and officers and men called orders that could hardly be heard above the din.The passengers from the \u2018Dix\u2019 who could swim made their way to the sides of the \u2018Jeanie,\u2019 and were dragged aboard.The \u2018Jeanie\u2019 was not moved until after all who had reached her had been hauled aboard.Then she cruised about picking up eeveral who managed to stay above water.It was after ten o'clock before the \u2018Jeanie\u2019 left the scene of the catastrophe and steamed to the Virginia street dock, with ber 39 survivors.The \u2018Jeanie\u2019 had finished unloading at the Great Northern docks, at Smrth\u2019s Cove, and had started for 'Lacoma ehort- ly before seven o\u2019clock, just about the same time the \u2018Dix\u2019 left the flyer dock éor Port Blakely.There were no pas- sungers on the \u2018Jeanie\u2019 The \u2018Dix\u2019 was making the last trip of the night, and was well filled with passengers.When within two miles north of Alki Point the two vessels were within a short distance of each other, steaming along converging lines.The captain of the \u2018Jeanie\u2019 says he signalled for the \u2018Dix\u2019 to pass him, and that his whistle was.answered.The \u2018Dix\u2019 was then within \u2018speaking distafice of tha.\u2019) eame\u2019 and to the port of her.Suddenly Den- unison, the mater, who was at the wheel of the \u2018Dix,\u2019 put her hard over to starboard as if to cross in front of the other vessel.Captain Mason, of the \u2018Jeanie,\u2019 who was on the bridge, saw that an accident was imminent, and, calling out a warning to the man at the wheel of the \u2018Dix,\u2019 gave the signal to reverse his own engines, and his vessel waa slowly backing away when the two came together with only a slight crash.For a moment all was still, then a panic followed.When the\u201d \u2018Dix\u2019 began to sink stern first, some passengers and members of the crew leaped into the sea, Uther passengers huddled in groups on the decks or knelt in prayer.\u2018The women, who had little chance for their hves, stayed with the sinking steamer and were drowned as in a trap.\u2018I got away from Smith\u2019s Cove a little before seven o\u2019clock, and laid a course for Tacoma,\u2019 said Captain Mason.\u20181 |d had no passengers aboard.1 saw the \u2018Dix\u2019 beaded for Port Blakely, and sig- nailed to her.Soon ghe came up astern of me and started directly across my ws.I signalled to the engineer for full speed astern, but we could not get out of the way in time.\"Lhe \u2018Jeanie\u2019 was backing a little when we struck her well abaft of amidships.The shock did not seem enough to have injured an ordinary launch.The \u2018Dix\u2019 listed heavily to starboard, righted herself, and then sank stern first.\u2019 \u2018 Capt- P.Lermon, master of the steamer \u2018Dix,\u2019 told the stowy of the collision after arriving at Seattle.He was shak- mg with the cold, his eyes still dilated with the hopror of his experience.\u20181 don\u2019t know \u2018how it happened,\u201d be .said.\u2018Charles Dennison, mate of the boat, was at the wheel.We were just about two miles due north of Alki Point, and run- ing at the usual speed.It was a fine, clear night, and the water was like @ mill-pond.I had seen the lights of a steamer on our starboard quarter some time before, but had not paid any attention to them.I.went below to collect the fares.The boat was crowded.\u2018Lhere were seventy passengers, and it was quite a task to get all the fares.I had been on that run for thirteen years, and knew almost everybody aboard.I was in the ladies\u2019 cabin, 1 heard the bell a to stop.1 knew something must be wrong and hurried forward.Just as I got on deck 1 saw the bow of a vessel loom up on the starboard side and almost immtantly she etruck us.The jibboom crashed through the \u2018Dix\u2019 just aft of amidships and heeled her over like a top, She lay there for a minute or two with the water rushing in and all over.1 was thrown against the deck-house.for an instant the breath wae knocked out me and I wae almost paralyzed.The steamer lay on her port beam for what seemed like two minutes and then heei- ed back to rd.other rush of waber, cries and streams of men, women and children.rom below came awful sounds.Many of the passengers were penned there end could not possibly escape.* The \u2018Dix's bow began to lift her stern went slowly down, until the bow was standing straight half out of the water.For an instant I clung to the wading.The sight filled me with hortor.Lights were etill burning and I could see people inside the cabin.The expressions on their faces were of indescribable despair.They fought desperately to gain the deck, and their shouting and cries were awful.\u2018 People on deck slid water, went down shrieking .aad perately clutching at\u2019 thé water or at the \u2018 Jeanie,\u201d which etill loomed only a few yards away.\u2018 Some

ened.This is the firet accident that bas happened on any ship or, m'ne since I have n running on the Sound.\u2019 Captain Lermon is a well-known navigator and has the reputation of being one of the ablest Sound pilots leaving Seattle.The \u2018Dix\u2019 sank in a hundred fathoms of water.\u2018I'he \u2018Jeanie, the government launch \u2018 Scout\u2019 and several tugs have gone to the scene of

Asosciated Press.) London, Nov.188\u2014Mr.W.Richmond \u2018Smith, the Canadian, continues his articles in the !\u2018Standard\u2019- on the Americanization of Canada.He says the road Canada will take is to be decided next April by the decision \u2018of the British Government upon the question of closer trade relations with the colonies.Ii Canada once starts moving .alo: the wrong road it will take a might: wrench to change her course, whic will surely lead to her a tion by the United States, and the disintegration of the Empire.The \u2018Standard,\u2019 editorially, on Mr.Richmond Smith's article.observes that the United States market is the natural one for Canadian produce, and the price of United States manufactured articles is sufficiently low to constitute a profitable exchange.The inclusion of4 Canada in the North American zollverein would mean, sooner rather than later, the political absorption of Oan- ada into the United States.Happily.however, there is every chance that the offer of preference by the colonies will be kept open until Britain has been invited to give a reasoned opinion on the subject.LIQUOR AND TOBACCO Dr.Osler Declares if it Were all Dumped Into the Sea People Would be Better off \u2014_\u2014 (Canadian Associated Press.)

0 ng the adoption of the terms \u2018specified -in the majority report after- i the city clerk's office.When the \u2018members \u2018who had signed that report found that the cheirman of the com- \u2018aittee, Ald.Gadbois, would not sign 4 with them, one of them called a hur ried meeting of the others\u2014an informal ing;

\u2018I do not know what the company will or will not consider,\u2019 replied Ald.Pay- ette, \u2018I have not seen any of the officials of the company We cannot prevent any body who makes power from disposing of his surplus, so long as he does pot éross the streets.I do mot think it is impossible to frame an offer to the company which would include an exclusive électricity franchise, and yet be acceptable to the citizens.Any scheme, what- éver it be, must have for its basis a percentage on the gross receipts of the company.In the cast of an exclusive electric franchise for electricity, of course everything depends on the conditions.People cdn be prevented from crossing the streets, though they cannot be prevented from selling surplus power within their own block.\u201d \u2018Then you do not think that any pre- ition which included an exclusive elec- icity franchise would be objectionable to the citizens?_ \u201cNo.It all denends on the conditions.I think it may be possible to frame an offer which will include such a franchis- What the terms-of such an offer will I cannot say at the present time.\u2019 ALDERMEN GOING INTO THE BUSINESS.Evidently the business of selling surplus power offers considerable attractions, for some of the aldermen are going into it.Ald.Nault is seeking pores to seil power.and Ald.De Serres also intends to apply to the council for a similar privilege though, according to Ald.Payetts, there i$ no necessity for such an application so tong as thzy do not propose to cross the stmets.i In this connection, by the way, Ald.De Serres has raised a very interesting point.He wants to-know whéther it will be necessary for him to resign first, before making his application to zouncit.The city charter provides, among other disqualifications, that no alderman can retain his seat who is connected -in any way with any contract between the city and any other parties for the performance of any duty, or who is in any way accountable for civic revenue.i Ald.De Serres is advised that the legal re- resignation, he stated to a \u2018Witness\u2019 representative that he would resign\u2019 from the council first, and then make his application afterwards .OBITUARY.- Phoenix, Ariz.,Nov.19.\u2014Frederick A.ritle, governor of Arizona from 1882 to 14885, died in this city yesterday ot gropey, aged 73 years.;

content with the industries they have and leave others to this country.Under a protective tariff they are jus: as likely to do that as we are to tax our food for the benefit oï the Canadian

Company upon the experiments which tbat company has been conducting in regard to high-speed electric locomotives.These experiments bave not only shown that the electrie locomotive 1s superior in hauling power to the steam locomotive under every sort of condition, but that its cost of mamtenance 1s only about cme-third that of the latter.For the purpose of testing these elec- ric locomotives under actual service conditions, the company set aside a stretch of track on one of its main lines west of Schenectadv.and this piece of track was equipped with a third rail for a distance approximately of sx miles.team turbines of the Curtis type were adopted.Between Uct.26.1904, and the present time the electric locomotives have been rum for a distance of over 50,600 miles under every sort et condition.and in all sorts of weather.m- cluding blizzards and excessive heat.Under all conditions the electric locomotives not only maintained a specd equal to the best steam locomotives, but actually beat them.The record of maintenance for the entire period has been carefully kept.and shows a cost of maintenance for the elee- trical locomotive of less than two cents per locomotive mile, as compared with similar service.Moxnay, NovEwnrrr 19.Jane The type of «1 a normal rating \u2026 but while accel velop the cnormat- power.which mal - locomotive using > ity In the world.! new type of

SATURDAY.- The S.R.O.sign was oy} at the Duluth rink on Saturday night before ¥ o'clock, three races, half mile backward, one mile aud three mile being the events on the programme.There were so many entries, practically all well known amateurs turning out, that it was necessary to run the races off in heats.The hal?mile backward aroused a great deal of Irtcrest, as thie style of rollerskating was comparutively novel to the majority of the spectators.Lloyd was the winner of the first heat, and Woods of the second.In the final Lloyd won in 2.08.There were many starters in the mile.The first heat was very well contested by Geaudron and Gow, a matter of only two feet separating them at the winning post, with Geaudron ahead.Pichette won the second heat, and this skater in the final with Geaudron brought off the prettiest race of the evering.It was an even strug- ble right up to the finish, managing to ficish ahead.There were so many entries for the three mile race that there was considerable difficulty in getting the men away, the start eventually made being a bad one.Bulick soon brokesaway from the bunch, and he maintained a lead to the finish.\u2018It is possible that the roller races at the Duluth rink may be continued through the winter, and some of the champions of the Bastern cities may be seen in Montreal.ONTARIO HOCKEY ASSOCIATION SOME CHANGES MADE IN THE

but Montreal failed to count again, although the team, as à wbole, put up a stiff fight.all through, making a good bid for a try in each of the quarters.In the third quarte,r Montreal had the ball on Tigers\u2019 ten- yard line, and was expectant for a try, but Umpire Griffiths penalized the team on the first down, and gave the ball to Hamilton, Stinson, the full back of the Montreal team, missed the train from Montreal on Friday night, and consequently It was necessary to put Russell back to the position, while Percy Molson took Russell's place at half back.: The tockling of the Tigers was better than that of the Montreal team, but thelr catching was mot so good.However, they were better at running back punts when they did catch, and were fortunate in saving when fumbles threatened to result in diaeter.The game was started at 2.45.The intermediate championship was being played at the time, the second half having just commenced.The Rev.A.FE.Barr, president of the C.R.F.U., ordered the two teams off the field, however,and Captain DuMoulin had to take a hand in the persuasion before they could be induced to go off.The first point in the game was scored soon after the start, for after an exchange of punts and after having lost ground by trying to go through the centre, Simpson kicked over the dead ball line for the first point.Play continued at Montreal's end! of the field and before long Simpson, in trying to drop a goal, missell the latte but moored another point for kicking ovét\u2019 the dead ball line.Allison was temporarik disabled after playing tackle, but soon PF sumed play.Cralg was forced back over \u2018his own goal line after catching Simpson\u2019s punt, bringing the score up to four for Tigers.; At this time Montreal were having the worst of the argument, and their efforts at line plays were Ineffective, A punt from the 35-yard line to the dead ball line made the Tigers\u2019 ecore five, and another point was added when Russell was downed behind the Montreal goal line after cateh- ing Isbister\u2019's punt.| An unfortunate aocident happened to\u2019 Tope, the Tigers\u2019 full-back, at this stage of the game.He and Davidson made 2 rush for the ball after it had been fumbled and Tope went down in auch a way that his leg was broken below the knee, Hls place was taken by Harrison, an intermediate, who, while showing a certain amount of stage fright, and nearly letting the Tigers down, acquitted himself well.Montreal, after resuming play, pressed for some time, and Kingston and Craig were sent to the side Mnes for \u2018scrapping.\u2019 While they were away Simpson agaiu punted over the dead ball line.Montreal: punted out, but off-side was given against\u2019 them, and this led to Simpaja notching another point after Russell had punted out, At the end of the seccud halt Montreal were getting a little better of the play.In the second quarter McKeand, Burke holder and Murphy were sent off, and then Montreal began to score, a Tiger player fumbled the ball near Montreal's $b-yar line, and Percy Roberts got away with it passing to Lessor when near the goal iine, who scored.Walter Molson missed an easy shot, the ball striking the post, Score: Hamilton, 8; Montreal, 6.| In the third quarter Montreal did more : pressing, and only one point was scored, a touch in goal by Moore, after Montreal had lost 30 yards on a penalty.Kingston, with a good run, looked as though he could not fail to score, but he was broughl down by Hamilton in the mick of time.In the last quarter the game became more exciting.Montreal tried the long passing game.Harrison's muff was nearly costly to his cide, but Moore saved the situation by his quickness, or Molson and Savage would have had a clear feld.Simpson was laid out after a great run.On resuming, another touch in goal, kicked by Williams, made the score 11-6, at which it remained.In the closing stages of the game, Craig was hurt, and limped painfully.Hamilton.\u2018Montreal.Ruseell .Fullback.Tope, Harrison P, Molson \u2026.Left Lalf .,Simpson.Craig .+o +.Centre half .Dumoulin.Allison .Right halt ., .Moore Gordon .Quarter +., .Ballard «\u2026 .Scrim.Inside wing .W.Molson.Mld.wing .Burkholder.Kipgston .Mid.wing .Izbister Murphy .Outside wing .Lyon Savage .Oulslde wing .Marriort Tho officials were-Referee, Frank Wood- worth, New York;

$20,000 WITNESSES TESTIFY THAT THEY WERE SATISFIED WITH THEIR PROFITS.Alexander Millette, who is charged n the Court of King\u2019s Bench with having, as manager and secretary-treasurer of the now defunct Loan and Savings Company, obtained money by false pretences, concluded his evidence in his own defence on Saturday.He said that when he ficated his company he had $45,000 etanding to nis credit in the bank, whereas he has now only $25,000.lo other words, he has lost $20,000 of his own money in the company.The next witness called for the defence was Eugene Lecavalier, who told the court and jury that he took out five of the Loan and Savings Company's \u2018con- traets\u2019 of the one dollar class, and at the expiration of twenty weeks he withdrew $250, thus realizing a profit \u2018of a hundred and fifty dollars.His \u2018contracts\u2019 had all \u2018matured\u2019 at about the same time, and Lecavalier declared himself thoroughly satisfied with his investment.Henri E.Bourdon, manager of the Société des Arts, established in 1901, testi- ephricide TI9M(G ywesZA2 ALGIBb cm fied that his concern carried on business similar to that of the defunct Loan and Savings Company, with the difference that in the case of his company the me- | dium of speculation was called a \u2018certiti- cate,\u2019 instead of a \u2018contract.\u2019 The paud- up capital of his concern was $10,000, coneisting of paintings, tableaux, and other works of art kept in various places.Bourdon testified that the business done by the Société des Arts amounted to $150, 000 annually, but that in order to keep this up it was necessary that certificates be taken out all the time\u2014in fact, Bourdon declared that if the concern should run one year without being able to issue a \u2018certificate\u2019 it would have a disastrous effect on business.Lhe Société des Arts, be said, redeemed forty-three \u2018cer- tifieates\u2019 a week, and in order to make up for this drain upon the tunds, twenty- seven new subscribers were needed.Gustave Theoret, who was formerly employed as eoliciting agent for the Loan and Savings Company, said he bad made profitable deals with the defunct company.The capital which he had invested for himself had almost been doubled through speculation, the amount which he Had drawn in return for the purchase of \u2018sixty \u2018contracte\u2019 being abaut twelve Dundred dollars.He had also secured about two hundred and forty other \u2018contracts\u2019 from subscribers, who had Deen paid at the drawing by means of cheques from\" Millette.Theoret further declared \u2018thabisuch concerns as the Loan and-Sav- ing?'Company required a new batch of customers every week to replenish the exhabist of funds caused by the drawings, and that the failure\u2019 of the Compagnie de Credit da Canada had considerably injured Millette\u2019s business.The hearing was adjourned until this morning.; \u2014\u2014 DIOCESAN ASSOCIATION.The monthly

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION AND THE HOUSE OF LORDS.(Cable Despatch to the New York 'Evening Post.) London, Nov.17.\u2014This has been a week of small sensations.Some cf them were bombs which never exploded, line Prince von Buelow\u2019s speech, Uthers, euch as the scandal over South African Chinese labor, seemed at first our old familiar bogies, and turned out to be the real elements ot Contagration, Unquestionably the small but earnest party which prociaimed through good and evil report the essential immorality of Cb:- nese imported labor, under the restricted compound system, bave made good their point.Through the Bucknill report, 1t seems clear that unprintable practices have grown up under the unnatural conditions; and that, as Mr.\\\\'nston Churchill said yesterday, though no evi dence in this report can be brought forward publicly, there is enough known to make the continuance of coolie labor henceforth impossible in free South At- rica, Much was expected from Chancellor von Buclow this week fresh from ms victorious dismissal of a discredited and wnpopular colleague.It was hoped that his official harangue would have offered some serious remedy to the general polhti- cal diecontent.He confined his speech to platitudes, not too courteously expressed, on foreign affairs, and the defence of the autocratic principle, tor which he has secured little sympathy in the press of his own country or abroad.11 is easy to overrate,\u2019 as the \u2018Morning Post\u2019 says, \u2018the political value of a specch delivered to the (German Reichstag.This body is an teresting but easily misunderstood institution.It 1s elected by popular vote, and its members have the right of free speech in debate, but it has no function of governing.Lhe Imperial Government is not responsible to it.When, therefore, the chancellor of the empire addresses the Reichstag his speech has no essential relation to the carrying out of his policy.It is merely a convenient mode of addressing the pub- 1c.\u201d Mr.Birrell has definitely declared war on the amendments made by the House of Lords to his Education Bill, but as yet no forncast law appearçd as to how the government will deal With this delicate situation.Mr.Birrell was more at his ease earlier in the week, when to a nonpolitical audience\u2019 he explained that we were daily finding new uses for elementary schools.The new code includes health and.temperance teaching under the bead of moral instruction; Medical examination is also provided for, but our schools must go further.\u2018l'hey must, he said, make parents interested in open windows, cleanliness, and good food.The .second annual report of the British Cotton Growing Association shows a production of twenty thousand bales, mainly from Lagos and Nigeria.It says that with thirteen millions of population it only needs a railway to make cotton- growing profitable on a large scale.Yesterday was exhibited in London an ancient roll of the Law of Moses, Exodus to Deuteronomy.which is accepted bv some experts as genuine and dating back to ome thousand years before Christ.it is an orignal and sacred document of a Samaritan sect, and now is offered tor sale by their high prie=t, Isaac, son ot Amram, to save his community from destruction.Five thousand pounds are asked, and the British Museum cannot afford to buy it.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 About Female Ailments Not Hard to Cure if Properly and Promptly Treated, Ask any inteliigent physician what causes nine-tenths of all female disease, even including anaemia, nervousness, and consumption.Back comes the answer sharp, \u2018Constipated Bowels.\u2019 There is scarcely a single female ailment that had not in its earlier stages symptoms of constipation.How much better off the system is without the poisonous accumulations caured by constipation.How much clearer the complexion, how much fresher one feels when the system is pure and clean.Think it over yourself.Isn\u2019t it apparent that a bowel regulator and liver stimulant like Dr.Hamilton's Pills is sure to do good?Gay spirits, -good looks and happy health have returned to many a sick woman through Dr.Hamilton's Pills.Better get a few boxes to-day;

STOCKS WBAK BUT LITTLE SBLLING TO REPORT\u2014GENERAL TRADING RATHER RESTRICTED ON THIS MARKET.Exchange value of R1 Sterlimg te-lay is 94.856,65.A sudden advance in Canadian Pacific on the London market caused a sympathetic movement id that steck both here and in New York, and the price on heavy business wag carried over the 180 mark at the opening and before the noon gong sounded nad made a two-point advance.The Righ- est price during the session was 182%, but the fraction was taken off later.A week ago to-day Canadian Pacific was.selling at 173%, the advance would therefore represent almost ten points in the short period.Montreal Street was also considerably improved at 240 to 241.Iron common was weak, but few shares came out at the decline, indicating that holders are satisfied to awalt developments.Some timid holders who no doubt took a \u2018flutter\u2019 at the stock thipking to turn over a quick profit, bave been the only sellers, and the market will be all -the stronger without their presence.Mr.Plummer told the \u2018Witness\u2019 this morning that he had net yet got into touch with the situation and could not, therefore, &peak for publication.There wa: a meeting late this afternoon, at which Mr.Plummer was present, and matters are slowly but surely working to a peaceful and satisfactory ending.Detroit was about steady on the exchange of 200 shares.A meting of

$19,000,000, but it ls belleved that aelther this Servian loan, nor the projected Italtan loan of $100,000,000 will be issued immediately owing to fear that New York will withdraw isrge quantities of gold from Europe In the near future.Secretary Shaw raises the objection to the currency reform plan of tho American Bankers\u2019 Association that it would lead to the issuance of circulation in large amounts by the banks, not to meet emergencies, but to make a profit.The sooretary explained that lis idea of an emergency ¢ir- culation was one taxed at'b percent or 6 percent, which could be issued

Government Disbursements and Receipt of French Gold Made London Happy.\u2014 CONSEQUENTLY MARKET BOOMED AND FALL ACTIVITY MAY HAVE COMMENCED.- \u2014\u2014 The money markets on this continent assumed a less threatening attitude towards the security markets to-day, mainly on account of easier money in London, which Erought ou\u2018 a lo! of business in American stocks.The change in the monetary situation of Lordon was due to the release of Japanese funds for disbursement by that government.A large amount of gold has also been received by the Bank of England from Paris.All this has proved most \u201cfavorable to the money markets on this side of the Atlantic, with the natural results of a sudden rise in the price of securities.The New York bank statement showed a net gain from the interlor of $1,- 500,000, which marks the commencement of the retura of currency to the great financial centres.The money market haa been depressed for some time through the prosperity of the whole

If we sin He is faithful.If we confess our sins He is righteous to forgive.Sin is poesible in the believer, for we are told that if any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father.I write unto you thet ye sin not.i, 1.) Your sins are forgiven for His Name\u2019s sake.(ii, 12.) He who be lieves in Jesus purifies himself that he may be like God.Sin is the violation of law.No one who lives in sin knows Christ, and he who is born of God cannot sim.(iii, 1-8.) He does mot con- timue simning.The law of his God is re- \u2018Charlie, Charlie, come quick,\u201d cried } in his heart.No one born of God lives habitually in sin.(iii, 9-12; v., 18) He who does so is following the desires | of the fleghly sinful mature.(ii., 16-24.) The two natures make this teaching clear.Sin comes from the old Adam ; mature, never from the Christ-nature.| The natural man is sinful, thé spiritual | nature born of God sinmeth not and cannot sim.(iii, 9.) See this illustrated im Gal.v., 16-25.Sin is of the devil, righteousness is from .The believer has an earthly nature full of evil, and a divine mature which cannot sin, and then in him there is a divine power which enebles him to kill off the dires of the natural man.This is the teaching in Rom.viii., 514 New Huai RE Ayer\u2019s Hair Vigor makes the hair grow because it is a hair-food.Feed the

ENDEAVORS TO RESTORE ORDER, BUT IN VAIN\u2014THIRD 1 OUTRAGE IN ITALY IN Ha FOUR DAYS.\u2018 Kome Nov.18.\u2014A bomb was exploded | in St.Peter's to-day.The edifice was ; erowded, and an indescribable ecene of confusion followed.\u2018There were no fatalities.As soon as the echoes of the tremendous roar had ceased, a canon j sought by reassuring words to quiet the P -people, but in vain.They Hed in all a directions, and à number of women fainted.Women and children screamed 7 wad men tried to protect their families the crush.§owever, that there was ample room for e crowd to scatter, and no one was injured.No trace of the perpetrator of the deed has been found.Since St.Anacletus, who was ordained ¥ by St.Peter himself, erected an \u2018oratory k in 90 A.D.on the site of the present Basilica, to mark the spot where the remains of St.Peter are claimed to be buried, no such dastardly occurrence 1s noted in the annals of the church.- To-day was the anniversary of the dedication of the Basilica to St.Peter, and it was beautifully decorated for the occasion.Holy relics were exposed, snd a large number of the faithtul at- 2 tended the service.Cardinal Rampolla, formerly papal secretary of state, was among those present.He took part mn ; the service in the choir chapel.\u2018Lhe last : © mass had just been concluded when the ir explosion occurred, and only one canon, who had not quite finishéd, remained at the altar of St.Petronilla.'I'hig altar i 18 at the end of the right aisle, and it was LG near here that the bomb had been placed.rary * LE As the canon turned to bless the com- A municants, there was a tremendous roar, La which echoed througn the lofty arches of 4 the immense dome like a thunderciap.At the same time a dense smoke spread throughout this portion of the Basiuca, and strong odor of gunpowder filled the air.Confusion and panic at once seized the people.The canon at the altar tried to stem the tide of fear.He shouted out: \u2018Do not be afraid; it 1s nothing; merely the noonday gun.His words, however, had little effect.; They were refuted by the smoke and the i pungent smell of powder, and the people bk continued their headlong flight.Chairs à were overthrown, making the confusion more serious.Men and women fled, stumbling in all directions, and -the screams of children and cries of anguish were heard on all sides, and for a few moments it seemed as if nothing could obviate a grave disaster.The vast mize of the church, however, gave room for the crowd to scatter, and, at the end of a few moments, the people were surging ¢ towards the doors, excited and nervous, but rorderly.As soon as the smoke cleared away, a hasty examination showed that nobody had been hurt in the crush, and, furthermore, that no one bad been wounded by the explosion.Calm was gradually restored, and the people returned to view the extent of the damage.It was discovered that the bomb had been placed under a scaffolding, which Sir > \u201cemma the roof, exactly over the celebrated tomb of Clement XiIl., by Canova, which consists of a figure of the Pope and two lions, and which is the most remarkable piece of sculpture in the Basilica.\u2018I'his tomb ranks among the finest efforts of modern sculptors.\u2018 The bomb was similar to the one that exploded in the Café D\u2019Aragnon the other day.The government has offered a reward of 1,000 lire for the discovery of the perpetrators of both crimes.When the first gendarmes reached the spot, the scaffolding was found to be smouldering, but this fire was easily extinguished.The tomb was found to be absolutely uninjured, and even the pavement shows scarcely any signs of the explosion.An examination of the remains of the bomb leads to the supposition, unless it was cruelly prepared on purpose to mislead, that it was manufactured in the country and brought into Rome.It is believed that the bomb had a very long fuse, in order to enable the criminal to gain the piazza before the explosion.It has been impossible to trace him, and no one has any recollection of seeing a man, who, by his movements, might have aroused suspicion.THE POPE HEARS NEWS.The Pope was engaged in his regular noon-hour devotions when the bomb went off.He heard a muffled sound, which eurprised, but did not alarm, him.Monsignor Misciatelli.sub-piefect of the Apostolic palaces, and Monsignor Biseleti, major domo of the Vatican.at onee hurriedly entered the Pontiff's chamber.They were 80 pale that the Pope immediately asked : \u2018What has hoppened ?\u2019 .\u2018Do not be alarmed, Holy Father,\u2019 was the answer, \u2018a bomb has exploded in the Basilica, but fortunately there PRIZE CONTEST.The Most Artistic Photograph -vy } The church.1s so \u2018urge, had been erected to facilitate repairs to |dals Yai ARE are no deaths to deplore, and no ane has been wounded.\u2019 The Pontiff asked anxiously if the church had been injured.On being assured, he fell on his knees, saying he must unplore mercy for the m.sguded perpetrator of the deed.Soon aiter this announcement was made to him, the Fope went to the throne room, where he admitted to pr!- vate audience Monsignor Kennedy, rector of the American College, wuo resented to His Holness Mr.and Mos.uis J.McCloskey, of Philadelphia, and ar.Paul oo, hang, ot New.York, who noticed that the Pope was pale and labored mnder some emotion.After this reception, the Pope proceeded to the Hall of Consistories, where he received about two hundred other persons, including twenty-five students of a South American college, to whom he denvered à snort address.None of the persens knew anything of the explosion.A three days\u2019 service of prayer will be celebrated in all the churches in expiation of this offence to religion, This bomb explosion makes the third anarchist outrage in Italy in four days, the other.two being the murder of Professor \u2018Rossi in Nap.es, ye: y, and the explosion of 4 bomb in -font of the Café Aragno 1 this c.ty on Nov.14.The attempt of to-day has caused deep- seated and universal borror and indignation on account of the locality selected by the miscreants, and the resentment of the people is very great.St, Peters is the greatest basilica in Christendom.It took 350 years in the building, and stands to-day a result ot the efforts of forty-three popes, and the genius cf Michael Ange.o, Bramante and Rafael.\u2018The commision of such an outrage in such a place has called furth unlimited condemnation, and is characterized as proving that the perpetrators of the crime were actuated by feelings worse than these whichl moved the Van- and ens.The rumor having spread abroad that the Pope intended to visit St.Peter's today to pray before the tomb, where the outrage was committed, drew an unusually large crowd to the Basilica.This rumor was unfounded.Every portion of the bomb that could be found was gathered up by the police, and carefully examined, the bomb evidently consisting of a large tin box, bound tightly with wire of two sizes.It must have contained over two pounds of gunpowder and three pounds of nas.The nails were of three sizes, some seven inche.long, aud so heavy that the force of the «xplosion threw them but a short distance.The nails were envelcped in mews- papers dated Nov.16 and 17.proving that the bomb was prepared either yesterday or to-day.\"The theory is beld that this attempt was not directed against the papacy, but rather a challenge to posiety in general by attacking religion, the most sacred institution of the people.Under the great dome in St.Peter\u2019s, beneath the imposing bronze Baidac- chino canopy, stands the high altar.It is directly over the tomb of St.Peter.The altar was consecrated in 1584, and dinal having special authorization, may celebrate mass.The confessional is surrounded by a circular balustrade of marble, frem which are suspended nearly a hundred lamns, which burn day and night.From the altar a double flight of steps leads to the shrine, kneeling before which is Canovas statue of Pius VI.the right ,in the nave in front of the altar, in a marble chair, sits the bronze statue of St.Peter, the extended foot of the eaint being much worn by the constant kisses implanted upon it by devotees entering the Basilica.At the four cormers of the altar are the enormous Duttress piers,

NONSENSE.London, Nov.18.\u2014Refarring Lo Mr.Henry Arthur Jones's pessimistic utter ances in New York regarding the British drama, Mr.Beerbohm Tree says that with all respect to Mr.Jones, he is talking arrant nonsense.\u2018The theatre,\u201d he adds.\u2018is suffering from its physicians, who pull long faces.The public is deceived by this snd imagines that the drama is unhealthy.I question whether there has been so much reason for optimism at any time eince the JEliwabethun period.\u2018Mr.Jones takes a less desponding view of the American drama, but when you are on the other side of the Atlantic, there is always a temptation to unfurl the Star Spangled Banner.\u2018Perhaps in a way we compare unfavorably with the American public.They are eighty millions, mostly playgoers.\u2018We are forty millions, mostly football players.\u2018But there is a splendid minority here, which is constantly growing, who care for the art of the theatre, and who are fostering the growth of a genuine revival of the English drama.- \u2018To bewaii the decadence of the drama seems to me mischievous indiscretion.Let us Jeave the mediaeval curmudgeons and \u2018liférary dry-as-dusts to their cwn
