of -n exclusive nd tha: gh mbit le saul ; he testimony heard in court after yes: vrday s luncheon adjournment.L lhe questions 1n Cruss-eXamiDatton were put with skill and with a studied intention to obtain admissions from the witness without scandal.\u2018The evidence of Desrosiers was a rep: tion of the now familiar incidents of ur shooting, ard then in reply to Mr.Lattamme, he said he had known Duclos jr fourteen years.They had met fre- yuentiy, ln fact, prior to March 19 last ne considered Duclos as a friend, and the sicoting had been a surprise to him.He had never had any quarrel with Duclos omer money matters, nor had he ever heard the accused declare that he would wreak revenge on him or on anybody \u201cNir.Laflamme\u2014\u2018Did you not state at the preliminary investigation that owing tu the facts that you had been intimate with Duclos for a number of years, that hrowing no reason for the assault, and because you were led to believe that be was sometimes crazy, you concluded the shooting was nothing but the act of an! same person?; M esrosiers admitted be had made this statement at the preliminary investiga- t.on.\u2018since the shooting, have you been able to find out apy motives that would account for Duclos\u2019s assault upon you?\u2018| have not.\u2019 \u2018So that even at the present moment you cannot ascribe it to any other cause than insanity?R \u2018] do not know of any other reason.Desrosiers further sald he was aware that Duclos had lost a large sum of money, amounting to several thousand dollars, that the accused had ascribed his Joss to \u2018suckers who walked along St.Tames street, that Duclos had asked for His advice in this matter, and \u2018finally \u201clat this financial trouble had made the accused so despondent that he had attempted to commit suicide.Desrosiers, however, declared he had been told of Duclos\u2019s sureidal intentions, but he had not seen him in the act of attempting to do away with his life.\"Do you know whether Duclos had oth: er troubles besides financial difficulties?put in Mr.Laflamme.Mr.Lafortune, the Crown prosecutor, chjected, but the guestion was allowed.I do not know of any other, but you speak \u2018vaguely.Be precise.\u2019 \u2018Oh, you want me to specify, Yes.\u2019 \u201cI'hen, do you know whether Duclos Lad domestic troubles or not?\"Not to my knowledge.\u2019 ; In the course of further cross-examina- tion witness admitted that some one had telephoned to him at the office during lis absence, on the afternoon of Maren 19 last, and that he had been informed vi it upon his arrival.Neither the avctors at the Notre Dame Hospital, where he had been taken after being wounded, por his parents at his home, 4 Prince Arthur street, had ever made squiries as to the motives of the shoot- mg.Nor bad he ever kept bachelor\u2019s guarters either on Berthelet or Burnside slreets.| Mr.Laflamme\u2014'Did you ever give um- do you\u201d irage to Duclos by your conduct?You nu werstand me, Mr.Desrosiers?\u2019 1 do not believe 50, answered the witness, \u2018Did Duclos once tell you that he was waiching you?\u2018[ do not remember.Nor could the witness remember of Duclos telling him about three letters ad- iresed to him, which the accused had jaumd where he was staying at Beacons ' He, : eli during the summer of 1903.however, recollected that Duclos inform- + tum of his mother-in-law objecting to i.Vidits at the house, and admitted that lt Jim vntinued to see Mrs.Duclos after this.\u2019 The Crown Prosecutor objected to the line of cross-examination, and Mr.La-: Eamnie replied that he intended to es- | tablish certain avowals with regard to the motives which prompted the shoot- Ing.Counsel then asked witness if, on the ditérnoon of June 7 last, Desrosiers bad tut left his office at half past two o'clovk fur lunch, if he had not afterwards sien 4 St.Lawrence street car to alight- li the corner of Pine avenne, where he lat met à young woman, who Was wait- \u201c7 for him: if he and this young woman lat not walked together along St.Donu- Title street as far as Roy street; then, in voune woman had not left him to Nu.313 Roy street.where Mrs.naude lived; and finally.if Desro- \"iid not gone in afterwards, to come © with the young woman at five min- ; T6 five o'clock.The question was objected to.but in the course oË further cross-examination lis Latlamme put a similar question to .substituting the name of Nes, Duclos.r- the prosecution could raise a P \u201cnd objection, Desrosiers gave a nega- \u201cfé imnswer.\\\" er brief argument between the coun- the question was again struck from © record, Mr.Justice Lavergne ruled that the \u201cne could not proceed to the proof + iar subsequent to the shooting.Desrosiers Jater admitted that he had +>cud Mrs.Duclos during the absence à en ~ whose evidence ! of March 19 last was the MONTREAL, of her husband, but.declared that be {bad never quarrelled with Duclos.In answer to further quesiijons Desro- siers said he had never invited Mrs.Du- clos to bis home or to amy.other place and denied that on one oceasion, she bad reproached him of being.too gallant towards her.He, however, admitted that | : on one occasion Duclos had-informed him.that his mother-in-law\u2019 objecied to his; visits to\u2019 the house, because she thought it improper, but Duclos had observed: \u2018Never mind, she is an old fool.\u201d Des- j Tosiers conceded that he once might | have said that he was afraid of Duclos, | but he declared that he was nor afraid ! lof him now.{_ Mr.Laflamme asked if, previous to March 19, Desrosiers had not made certain statements regarding Mrs.Duclos tp Alphonse Ouimet and to an insurance , office clerk, named Baudet, but the pro- sceution objected, whereupon Mr.Laflamme retoried he thought he ought te be allowed to prove that the witness had slandered Duclos\u2019 wife ia the presence of these two men, and that what he had said was sufficient to justify the attempt on Desrosier\u2019s life.The question was allowed, and the witness answered that he did not remember having made such statements either in the presence of Baudet or Ouimet.Mr.Laflamme then asked Desrosiers if he remembered a quarrel in January, 1905, between R.J.Demers, Joseph Beaulieu and Duclos, in which Beaulieu had insulted the accused by #elling him that \u2018he had no friends, or that if he had any they took away his wife,\u201d and if the witness had not declared after the affair, that he would get square with Beaulieu for having made such an observation.The question was disallowed, and the examination of Desrosiers was postponed till this morning.Mr.L.T.Marechal appears as private prosecutor in the case.Duclos did not show any of the nervousness so manifest in him on Thurs day when the question was one regarding his sanity, He followed vesterday\u2019s proceedings very closely.and took notes of the evidence given by Desrosiers.COTTON FACTORY FOR LACHINE EXEMPTION

SPIKED PLANKS TO THROW BEFORE SPEEDING AUTOMOBILES.- Cincinnati, Nov.22\u2014Mr.Rodgers, the park superintendent, decided to-day to adopt drastic measures in regulating the \u2018speeding of automobiles in the parks.Mr.Rodgers said to-night : \u2018I have told all the park police that a formal order will be issued to-morrow regarding automobile speeding.ln thie order I shall instruct the poice to take six-foot planks an inch and a halt thick to a sharp point.When they see an automobile exceeding the speed limits they -will throw these spiked planks in the path of the car and puncture the tires.The ordinance limits speed in the parks to six miles an hour, but cars often run at forty miles an hour.\u2019 GOLD FIND IN ENGLAND ORE EQUAL TO THAT OF THE RAND MINES SAID TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED.London, Nov, 22.\u2014According to the \u2018Pall Mall Gazette\u2019 a goid discovery was made the past summer about two hundred miles from London.Hitherto the secret has been very closely guard- od.* A report made by engineers declares that the ore vein extends from eight to ten miles, with a width of from six to fifteen feet.The eng.neers have no doubt that it is or great depth.The ore is identical with that found in the main vein of the Rand, and the pros- peets, it is declared, are as good as were those of the Rand.The report goes on to say :\u2014\u2018 The mine should be quite as good as the best belonging to the companies operating on the main reef of the Rand.\u201d Toe ore averages eighty grains to the ton.A syndicate has been formed, with a cap.tal of $245,- 000, to work the find.\u2014\u2014>-\u2014 CHINESE IN NANCHURIA PREPARING TO MAKE ATTEMPT TO BOYOOTT JAPANESE , GOODS.Chefoo, Nov.23,\u2014The Chinese in Manchuria are preparing to make an attempt to boycott Japanese goods.The movement o1g-nates mainly f.om the ill- treatment to- whica the Cuinese have been subjected by the Japanese and the latter\u2019s continued occupation of Chinese property, under the pretext cf its being a military necessity.Another reason for the movement is the inability of the Chinese merchants to cont:nue their former large business in American and Kuro- pean foods on account of the efforts of the Japanese to place obstacles in the way of everything but Japanese commerce in Manchuria, A factor in the impending boycott is the establishment in Manchuria of Japane-e cigarette, soap and other factories, which are mainly engaged in imitating European and American products, notably cigarettes.GIVEN A DIVORCE JEWISH RABBI FREES A PENNSYLVANIA WOMAN FROM A

Rabbi Blitz first put several questions [to the woman as to why she requested a i divorce, to which she seemed to give an- «swers that were satisfactery to the Rabbi jand the witnesses.The Rabbi then questicned Bloom, and after he had an- rwered, he was requested by Rabbi Blitz to take the written document and hand it to his wife, who stood with her hands extended to receive it.When the ,paper had been placed in the wo- iman\u2019s hands, Rabbi Blitz asked her to remove the wedding ring from her finger, When this had been done, he notified Sergeant Benard that the ceremony was over.and Bloom

ARBITRATION._ Hamilton, Nov.23.\u2014Mob rule reigned tin Hamilton to-night, and as the police were unable to cope with the crowd, the regulars from Staaley Barradks, I'v ronto, were ordervd tn the scene.Tay left Toronto 110 strong, under command of Col.Ogilvie, at 11.45 pm, arrivin here about 12.30 o'clock.The arrival o the troops caused the mob to disverae.The militia force from Toroato consis of 40 members of the Royal Canadian Artillery, 20 of the Royal Dragoons, and 50 of the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry.The artillery went as infantry, and were supplied with what i: termed gallery\u2019 cr short range ammunition.The cavalry were armed with swords only.An attempt wis male by the Street Railway Company to anerate cars after dark, and no such excitement as follow- let was ever liefare seen in the streets.The entire police force was out, but it was wholly inadequate to control the mob, which wrecked the cars, the radial railway and street railway office, the house where the strike-breakers were quartered and the front of Stanley Mills & Company\u2019s store, and did considerable damage to other properties.Shots were fired by the police and others, but.fortumately, no hit.Several persons were injured, however, by stones and other missiles that were thrown at the cars, but their injuries, as far as can be ascertained, were not of a very serious nature, Mayor Biggar and other city officials were busy at the City Hall all night, and when it became evident that the crowd had got beyond control of the police, a rall for the militia was sent to Toronto, but by the time the troops ar rived the crowd had dispersed, and everything was quiet.» running of the cars to-night was anticipated by the authorities and the This morning Mayor Biggar was notified by Mr.Hawkins, the general manager of the Cataract Power Company.that unless there was a good prosnect hefore evenmz of a settlement of the strike the cars would be run out to-night, and that the company would look to the city to protect its emplovees and property.It became evident this afternoon that.there was no prospect of a settlement of the trouble, and the strikebreakers and other employres were \"notified by the officials of the campany to report for duty at 7 o'clock.RERTOUS DISORDERS.Up tl to-day the commany has heen running its cars in at dusk.each even- mg.but while the majority of them were run in about five o'clock, the com.many contmued to operate fomr cars on the King street east line.About eieht o'clock trouble began to brew.The crowds began to gather in the centre of the citv.much earlier than that.bnt the police succeeded in keening every- hody on -the move, and there was na s\u2018gn of any disturbance.Shortly before eight o'clock an antomnbile hroke down in front of the Liber-] Cluh rooms.nn St.James street north.and gave the strike sympathizers the excuse they had heen looking for to congregate.Tn a few minutes James street was blocked, and all of the efforts of the police re serves, who were called ont from their waiting place in the Civ Hall to break up the mob, were fruitless.Two ears came along and them the trouble he- gan.When the first car passe ihe the second was greeted by a shower of stones.Bv the time that the next pur of cars came along, the crowd \u2014num- bered several thousands.Despite the efforts of the police to preserve order, the stone-throwing commenced at the corner of King and James streets.ani continued until the cars got clear of the mob.which was stretched out for nearly three blocks.3 hoth cars were broken.and many of those on the cars were struck hy stones and flving glass.and more or less seriously injured.The other two cars received a similar reception when they returned from the Stuart street station.Several times the police drew their cubs and revolvers and charged \u2018nto the meb.but were unsuccessful to break it up.The cars made onlv two trins after the trouble commenced.when the company was forced to call them in.Some of them had hard work in getting back to the East End barna.The switch point at the corner of Barton and James streets had-heen removed.which made it impossible for the last car to get to the turning switch, at the station.and it was forced to run down Barton street end reach the barns by the Sanford avenue line.On Barton street a number of large stones and other obstructions had been placed en the tracks, and while thev were being removed crowds gather:d and again stoned the ears.The runing in of the cars did not end the tronhle.When there were no more cars to stone, the mob gathered about the offices.of the Street Railway Company and soon every window in the huilding was demolished.The crowd threatened to kill Mr.Green.the manager.who was in the building.if he showed himself,\u201d Another eontinrent of rioters attacked the Stan- Joy Miliz departmental store.smashing many of the plate glass windows in the store.Thev were incensed because the Stanley Mills Company

their willingness to submit to arbitration their grievances and accept the members of the Ontario Railway und Municipal Board as arbitrators.The men have all along been oppused to allowing the.members of the board to interfere, but this morning they underwent à change of heart and submitted the following proposal to Mayor Biggar, who has been working day and night trving to bring the representatives of the union aud the company together with a view to having the trouble settled \u2018We agree to arbitrate afresh all questions that were submitted to arbitration.Sept.17, 1906, the Railway Board to act as arbitrators; their decision to be binding and final, provided that as soon as the articles of arbitration are signed by both parties all men shall be returned to work at the same wage and under the same conditions as prevailed before the strike, the arbitrators to meet forthwith and hear evidence and give their award on oi before 1° The men\u2019s proposal was submitted to the company\u2019s representatives and it was thought that there was a good chance of the trouble being settled, but this after noon Mr.Hawkins, manager of the Cat aract Power Company, announced that the proposal would not be accepted by the company.While he was willing that the case should be dealt with by the members of the Railway Board, he was not willing to take back all of the stiik- ers in the meantime, or at any other time for thet matter.There were some men, he said, whom the company could not take back under apy circumstances.It was willing to take back about ninety percent of the men, but the other ten percent would have to find employment elsewhere, as the company had no further use for their services.The rom- pany\u2019s refusal was communicated to the men this afternoon.Several conferences were held to-day between \u2018the Mayor, members of the Railway Board and representatives of the com- any and union, but nothing result=d rom them.It is now thought that there is very little chance of the trouble being amicably settled, and that the fight will be a long drawnout one.So far the company has been running only about twenty cars, but that it intends to re- slore the old system, which requires about thirty-two cars, in the very wear future is evident.A large number of men have been engaged to take the places of the strikebreakers, who were brought in from the outside, and accommodation lias heen secured for them on Hunter street, opposite the T., H.& B.station.Already about twenty of the organized strikebreakers have left the city.pre CANADIANS IN

Was that nol the very \u2018time when the \u2018Reform\u2019 party was giving its best powers to revealing the internal corruption of the government that was dcing all those big things\u2014how every- \u2018thing that was bought by government, every one that was employed by it, in short, every dollar that was spent by it, , was determined by political favor rather | tban by business principles and the publie interest?No one imagines the par- ticufr instances that an opposition lays hold of to be the only lapees.On the \"contrary, they are regarded as samples \u201cof the whole; and the very worst way of \u201c reassuring the public in that regard is \u2018to treat them as insignificant and as it were a matter of course.\u2014> A recent correspondent, speaking of \u2018the needs of rural education, suggested that it would be better if the commis- sionegs and trustees were elected by the people.The remark is eminently correct, although noi exactly in the sense that was intended.The election of commissioners and trustees in the country is, by law, wih the ratepayers; carried out by the secretary-treasurer, with the aid of two or three ratepayers called in to make the form legal.The schools of the people are under the control of the people; but frequently, to the detriment of the schools, the privilege and the responsibility are neglected.Year by year the reports of the inspee- tors speak of lack of interest as the main cause of backward conditions; and when progressive conditions exist they are generally traceable to the fact that the ratepayers take a pride in the local school.Much can be dome, indeed, in almost any community by even one man showing an intelligent and helpful interest.M is a catching spirit, and well worth cultivation.The awakening of interest in education in the direction of greater local effort is, perhaps, the most direct need we have in that connection.Imielligent self help is really far more called for than any possible change of system.The Macdonald College at St.Anne\u2019s is to be opened next.September, and in view of the intimate connection it will have with our rural schools in this province it is of the first importance that intelligent ratepayers in every community should put forth that local effort which alone can give effect to the new spirit which that institution will be able to put into clementary education.The appeal of McGill University to present and former citizens of Montreal for a fund of 2 million dollars is an important event, and it is to be hoped that it will be possible to implement the offer of Mr.Robert Reford of a subscription of fifty thousand dollars, which is conditional upon the million dollars being raised within a year.As the circular issued yearly clearly explains, the university has always been dependent upon the generosity of the citizens of Montreal, and must continue to be so.Unlike the two great umi- versities of Ontario.McGill cannot look to government for substantial aid.The paltry two thousand dollars a year it haë been receiving is to be cut down one-half.The importance of universities to elementary education is not recognized by a large section of our people as it should be, and unfortunately the popular idea that.McGill University must be very rich because it has received large benefactions for special purposes has been fostered in quarters where better knowledge was to be looked for.That the idea is a very mistaken one is very clearly shown in the cireular issued by the governors.The cost of univereity education is always and everywhere much greater than any possible revenue that can be .Qb- tained from fees.Hence mo university can exist without private or state benefactions, or both.The history of Mec- Gill is a history of steady development, and of long devotion to her in- terests- on\u2019 the \u2018part of wealthy citizens of Montreal,-and \u2018of professors whose glory it was to work for her advance ment.For more than half a century the reputation of the university has been increasing, and to-day its leading .position in arts and science and medicine is recognized the world over.That position, however, cannot be maintained without a very considerable addition to the endowments, particularly, at a time when other great universities in Canada and the United States are being immensely helped by state and private aid.The appeal makes evident the need for similar assistance to McGull, and the response, doubtless, will be commensurately great.Dr.Shaw thinks the way to cure lazy drunkards who will not support their families is to put them to work, and thus make them work at something that only pay for their keep by government, but, as far as may be, to support their families, This is common sense from an economic point of view, and also from a moral point of view.Prisons worked in that way would be reformatories instead of schools of vice.They do it in Russia with admirable results ; why should we not be able to do so ?The one moral thing to do is to work for mankind; the most immoral thing to do is not to work for mankind.We have no right to deprive the worst of men of the opportunity to do so.We have no right to deprive them of the moral cure there is in it.To some it could be administered gently; to others it should be made worse than a whipping.A man seeking aid frem the Charity Organization Society was offered work at six dollars a week, which he refused in high disdain.He would rather beg, a great deal, It is evidently more profitable.A lady was yesterday, after dark, assailed on her own door step in St.Luke street by two men who attempted unsuccessfully to pull her reticule from her.\u2018A whipping would perhaps De good for men who assault ladies; but possibly the best thing would be a couple of months of such hard werk as they never knew.Speaking of this last case, it is plain that the police are inadequate for the protection of but too frequently it is a

men for one he has to protect the neighborhood where these things\u2019 are happening.\u2014_\u2014 Sir Robert Bond, premier of Newfoundland, is prosecuting certain Newfound.landers for breaches of the Bait Act, which forbids the Newfoundianders to sell bait to United States fishermen.The great market for Gulf fisheries is the United States.The Newfoundlanders find it very hard that, while the Gloucester fishermen can come to their waters and carry their catch home free of duty, they, fishing by their dide, have tn pay a heavy duty in taking their fish to the same market.The Bait Act is to prevent this.The Gloucester men cannot fish without bait, and have to get that bait from inshore waters.Newfound- landers, unable to compete at sea fishing, have made a business of selling bait to the Gloucester men, and find the Bait Act in its turn a hardship.Sir Robert Bond thinks the people of Newfoundland as a whole are with him in this prosecution, but it is quite possible that a large share of popular sympathy will go with the poor fishermen, who are thus prevented from earning their living or punished for doing so.Of course, there is an opposition in Newfoundland, a province in which politicians have at no time been mealy-mouthed.The opposition press is naturally making the most of these hardships, and accusing the premier of having brought in the Bait Act simply out of personal conceit and spite against the United States for turning dowp his reciprocity advances.\u2018Llhey will certainly have an unfailing text in the men who are fined and imprisoned for trying to get a living in a way that breaks no moral law.\u2014-\u2014\u2014\u2014 SUBSCRIPTION HOSPITALS.The proposal of \u2018H.A.M.with regard to hospital treatment on the basis of annual subscription may possibly be resented by some members of the healing profession who regard all wholesale contracts with disfavor.- They are glad to serve the poor free, as a benefaction, but they dislike methods by which attendance can be claimed as a matter of right at rates below those which they think the beneficiaries well able to pay.This proposal is, however, in line with all modern economics, and leaving the personal character of physicians out of the question, bas an aspect of common sense.In the abstract one would say that it wds not s0 much to the common good that the doctor should benefit by his patients being ill as that he should benefit by having them well.Moreover, the annual payment method follows the principles of insurance.It is far better that the mass of the burden should fall on the prosperous and healthy than that it should add to the distresses of iliness.Correct ly calculated, such payments ehould in normal conditions give the physician and the surgeon as good an income as the present method, and in much more regu- jar and assured way.At all events, the subscription system is thoroughly estab- lshed among us in connection with all sorts of benefit societies, and \u2018H.A.M.\u2019s\u2019 proposal is nothing but a logical, and 1t would almost seem necessary, extension of it.It is presumable that in existing practice the lodge physician's income is often small as compared with that of the established practitioner.lt is natural that beginners who have no practice should make almost any bargain that would keep them alive and secure them introductions out of which a practice might grow.The lodges, on the other hand, which make the most economical bargains must be content with the least experience.Against this method is a diminution of the personal relationship which is of such value between a physician and those under his care.Knowing their characters, temperaments, and idiosyncrasies, he is far better able to advise them than one lacking these advantages.The lodge physician is liable to be changed from time to time, and generally for a younger practitioner.Another objection to it, we gather from \u2018H.A.Ms\u2019 letter, i8 also growing up In the increasing tendency to divorce surgery from medicine, and in consequence for the lodge physician to turn his surgical cases over to the hospital.Not that there is any harm in this arrangement if it is understood all round, and the subscriber can claim this as well as his medical attendance in return for his lodge fee.On the contrary, the advantage of it is obvious.If, however, he amagines himself liable to be taunted and jeered at at hospital meetings for acting a pauper\u2019s part, he will resent it very bitterly.The great advantage which hospitals have over home attendance in surgical cases makes it obviously desirable that such cases should be taken to them, and this advantage is not limited to surgical cases.The general advantage which nospitals have over private attendance, an advantage which no one appreciates ( PORN PET , me renders eminently sane the proposition of \u2018H.A.M.\u2019 that hospital treatment, whether medical or surgical, should be arranged for by annual subscription.This ig a proposal which would, of course, enormously increase the demands on hospital space, already crowded, but there seems no reason why under such a system hospital space should not be extended indefinitely.tp CLEAN POLITICS.A correspondent who deplores the rottenness of our party machines has two remedies to propose, agitation and a third party.\u2018B.S\u2019 is right in saying that the party leaders are largely at the mercy of the party organizations.It is clear that no one can govern a democratic country except by the support of a majority of the people in that country.However noble the leader's ideals he can only carry them out to the extent to which he can carry this majority with him.Behind him are a self-sceking multitude, very few of whom have much care for the public good.The great majority are shouldering and clamoring for selfish advantages.Our correspondent thinks agitation by press and pulpit is the best means that offers for remedying this.This is true, seeing that the thing to be accomplished is not to alter the political system, but to put a new heart in the people.How far these agencies, as at present constituted, are fitted to accomplish this in their present operation is a vital subject of enquiry.The pulpit is still, perhaps, too much inclined to place the kingdom of heaven above the sky and to interest itself too little, or with too little knowledge, about bringing it to pass on earth.The petitions, so often repeated, \u2018Thy king- \u201cdom come; thy will be done on earth \u2018as it is done in heaven, perhaps need more attention.They are not, if necessary, to be fulfilled by denouncing to one class the short comings of another, but by convincing all that the one bliss of living is not in getting, but in giving of onc's best.As for the press; well, it is, like parliament, what the people make it.The study of publishers is not to give people the best, but what they want, excepting always when financial interests take the press into their service, For such a press to lift the people up is a little like the man who tried to lift himself over a fence by his boot-straps.Our correspondent is in error in thinking we proposed a third party, with no policy but public spirit.What we asked for, and what has since developed here in Montreal, was an organization of good men of both parties with no other purpose but tn secure electoral purity, thus cleansing the poisoned fountains of our liberties.We must remember that the people are divided to some extent in their views of public policy, as, for instance, between protection and free trade, and it would be impossible for them to ignore these interests in forming a colorless party of honesty.even if we could imagine such a party coming Le power, by carrying the support of the majority of the people.It might be possible, however, to extend the aira of a political reform organization composed of both parties to the cleansing of our politics generally._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BOYVILLE.One of the crying needs of Montreal at this present time is a rural industrial home where, under a reasonable discipline, lads who have little chance elsewhere can learn lessons in the right conduct of life The City of Cleveland, Ohio, is a model in this regard as she is in some other matters.The Rev.Harris R.Cooley, pastor of the Cedar Avenue Disciple Church, who held the position of director of charities and correction under Mayor Johnson in 1901, was a man who had given deep study to social problems, and who possessed a kind heart and also a fine fund of commcn sense.With the heip of others of like character he prevailed on the City Council to furnish the requisite capital and authority to embark upon à grand crusade of boy- saving.One hundred and twenty-three acres of fine farming land were purchased a few miles from the city and near the village of Hudson.Later ene hundred and sixty acres more were added, with the result that the farm now measures a mile by half a mile of wood and meadow, hill and vale, with abundance of good water and productive soil.Here have been erected about half a dozen comfortable cottages.Each is called after some notable in United States history.\u2018The headmaster lives in the \u2018Washington, and the lads are distributed in groups of about fifteer among the \u2018Adams,\u2019 the \u2018Jefferson,\u2019 the \u2018Madison,\u2019 the \u2018Monroe\u2019 and the \u2018Jackson\u2019 Each cottage contains from ten to twelve rooms.Three or four are for the private use of the \u2018father and mother,\u201d and the rest are the sleeping rooins for the boys and the other rooms for the common use of the \u2018family\u2019 The boys do a great part of go much as the physicians themselves, | \"before the boys.the work of the house and are required | also in danger.Recent advices from to attend school for at least half of wach | day nine months in the year.There are no guards nor restraint of any kind, and yet there is hardiy ever a desertion.Boys that run away are generally those who have been on the farm only for a faw days and who have not had time to learn | of its many advantages.A great deal | of the construction has been done by | the boys themselves, some assisting the | painters, others the carpenters, others the masons, and so on.Boys alo attend the kitchens.the bakery.the elec tric plant and other general work.Manual training and wood working are to introduced as occasion serves, and | also dairying and scientific farming.The farm at present is the chief industrial | enterprise.Herve there is maple syrup in its season, to be drawn from some 1,200 trees, here there is an ice harvest to be gathered and stored in the winter.There are crops of corn, oats, potatoes and kitchen vegetables and there are horses, cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, dogs and other animals to be looked after and cared for.These latter form, per haps, the great humanizing influence.Boys, previously having the reputations of being unusuaily vicious and hardened, have often been surprised into kindness and thoughtfulness by the dependence of some poor animal, One such was found in the cow stables crying.Being asked the reason he said that a calf wis sick and he\u2019 was sorry for it.He became very solicitous for the welfare of the pigs and petitioned the matron for a small trough and some milk for the little pigs who suffered in competition wtih their large and greedy relatives.Once a rabbit was accidentally killed by the mowing machine.It was appropriately mourned over, placed in a coffin and tenderly buried, after which flowers were laid on its grave.case of Life at \u2018Boyville\u2014as it is generally called\u2014is not all work.There 1s a gym- Tusium, containing two bowling alleys and a large room in which the boys can play during stormy weather.Outside there are facilities for every game dear to the boy heart, and the creok gives opportunity for splendid swimming in summer and tobogganing and skating in winter.One of the most remurkable features of tlhe institution consists of ite character as a school for citizenship.Regular elections are held and a mayor and council and police, judge and prosecutor chosen Ly ballot.The council meets at regular intervals and questions pertain ing to the control of the home are placed Offenders against the law are brought before the police judge and subjected to appropriate punishment.These civic duties are performed in a thoroughly creditable manner.During the summer months extra accommola- tion is furnished by ients and cach year.when the city schools open.a number of lads are parcled so that they can attend them.Clheapness, in the case of the Cleveland Home.was found compatible with efficieney, the land, buildings, fuv- niture.stock, ete, having little more than fifty thousand dollars.\u2018he city did its own contracting, buying its material in cartload lots, and employing its workmen direct.Boyville and its management have demonstrated the fact insisted upon by Judge Lindsey that \u2018there are no kad kids\u201d The lad who enters upon a vicious career is not cecessarily a criminal.As Judge Lindsey oxpresses it, he has \u2018made a mistuke\u2014that's all,\u2019 as the old Hebrew term for sin has it, le has \u2018missed the mark.\u2019 All the more reason why he should be encouraged to aim again in better light and under happier auspices.\u2018The wayward boy.as a ¢ rule, is full of pluck and dash.Ile has \u201cin him just those qualities, if judiciously \u2018trained, that will win success in any \u2018vocation in life.lle has a heart that \u201cwill melt in tears if kindly touched.He \u2018has a will power that brooks no ob- \u2018stacle, darcs any feat and a sagacity \u201cthat sometimes is surprising for his \u2018years.If schooled to the habits of , .\u201cright living for ten years he will be a \u2018 contributer to good order, and an or- \u2018nument to society.If neglected for \u2018ten years he will drift into crime .\u2018and become a habitual criminal for life.This dictum of Judge Feagin, of Bir mingham, Ala., is borne out by the cx- perience of every one who has had anything to do with boys, and points the way to methods of reform which are \u2018sec ord to none in importance to the state.cost FOREST PRESERVATION.The conservation of forests from waste and ruin is a matter that has of late years been interesting many.The tremendous consumption of forests has almost overtaken the resources of nature, and unless more careful attention is given to their preservation there will soon be a great scarcily.It is well known that many Canadian woods have been exploited against the interests of poster ity, and that the United States timber areas have been depleted to a lamentable extent; but it has not been generally known that the extensive forests of Norway, Sweden

BECOME EPIDEMIC.Young Lady Pounced Upon by Ruffian on St.Luke Street Last Evening.The highway attacks and highway robberies, which, as \u201che \u2018Witness\u2019 showed on Thursday, have become quite epl- demic in and around te city, have not been checked by the two successes which the police have achieved in capturing the men guilty of the offences.The public danger that is lurking in the treet received very dhisquieting evidence last evening about six o'clock, when a lady connected with McGill University, was attacked by a ruffian as she was about to enter her home on St.Luke street.The man scized the young lady roughly, and attempted to snatch the satchel she was carrying in her hand.She offered a plucky resistance.In the struggle, the chain handle of the purse was broken.Maintaining her hold on the purse, she pulled that and herself from the grasp of the man, who ran away before the assistance that was called for arrived.A complaint of the outrage was at once laid at West St.Catherine street police station ,and though Captain Baker immediately sent out several of his men to search for the ass\u2018 an, no trace of him could be found.This incident, like others of a similar character, again emphasises the need of further police protection on the streets.Chief Campeau has demanded more men, and the \u2018Witness\u2019 has re-echoed that demand over and over again.No where in the city, perhaps, is the insuffiency of policep rotection felt, in view of the valuable character of the properties in the district in No.10 police division, which has its headquarters on West St.Catherine street.At this station the personnel comprises one captain, two lieutenants, one sergeant and eighteen constables, and their district extends westerly from Peel street to West- mount, and northerly from Dorchester street to the city limits.Highwaymen appreciate the difficulties of the police and the distances they have to cover, and they Yay their plans and await their opportunities accordingly.SOCIAL AND PERSONAL The Hon.George A.Co x left last evening for Toronto.The Hon.William Mitchell has returned from the lower provinces.The Lord Bishop of Ontario

brought it about.1 shall address to you neither reproaches nor exhortation.\u2018What I shall say shall be said in the faint hope that a few words from a place where the people of the State of Illinois have delegated the authority to declare the penalty of a violation of their laws, and spoken upon an occasion so solemn and awful as this, may come to the knowledge of and be heeded by the ignorant, deluded and misguided men wbo have listened to your counsels and followed your advice, \u2018I say in the faint hope, for if men are persuaded that because of business differences, whether about labor or anything else, they may destroy property and as- suult and beat other men and kill the police if they, in the discharge of their duty, interfere to preserve the peace, there is little ground to hope that they will listen to any warning.\u2018It is not the last among the hardships of the peaceable, frugal, and labor:- ous poor to endure any tyranny of mobs, who with lawless force dictate to them under penalty of peril to limb and life where, when and upon what terms they may earn a livelihood for themselves and their families.Any government that is worthy of the name will strenuously endeavor to secure to all within its jurisdiction freedom to follow the lawful vocations and eafety for their property and their persons while obeying the law, and the law is common sense.\u2018It holds each man responsible for the ratural and probable consequences of his own acts.It holds that whoever advises murder is himself guilty of the murder that is committed pursuant to his advice, and if men band together for a forcible resistance to the execution of the law and advise murder as a means of making such resistance effectual, whether such advice be to one man to murder another or to a humerous class to murder men of another class, all who are so.banded together are guilty of any murder that |is committed in pursuance of such ad- THE MONTREA vice, .\u2018The people of this country love their institutions, they love tbeir homes, they love their property.They will never consent that by violence and murder those institutions shall be broken down, their homes despoiled, and their property destroyed.And the people are strong enough to protect and sustain their institutions and to punish all offenders against their laws, and those who threaten danger to civil society if the law is enforced are leading to destruction whoever may attempt to execute such threats.\u2018The existing order of society can be changed only by the will of the majority.Each man has the full right to entertain and advocate by speech and print such opinions as suit himself, and the great body of people will usually care little what he says.But if he proposes murder as a means of enforcing his opniions he puts his own life at stake.And no clamor about free speech or the evils to be cured or the wrongs to be redressed wili shield him from the consequences ot bir crime.His liberty is not a license to destroy.The toleration that he enjoys muet extend to others, and not arrogantly assume that the great majority are wrong and may rightfully be coerced by terror or removed by dynamite.\u2019 WHY SHOES DON'T SQUEAK NOW * PIECE OF TAR PAPER BETWEEN OUTER AND INNER SOLE PREVENTS NOISE.\u2018Do you remember,\u201d asked the shoe salesman, \u2018the days when you used to have the shoemaker put wooden pegs in the middle of the sole about-every week to stop the noise?Sometimes you soak: el the soles of your shoes in water and then had to rub them with lard or some other kind of grease to get them flexible.You don\u2019t have to do that now.The new welc has taken the squeak away.In the old days the soles of shoes consisted of two even pieces of leather, and the iriction of these two pieres caused the squeak when a person walked.\u2018Shoes are made differently now.You sce that little piece of ridged leather that runs from the heel around the outside of the sole?That's what we call the welt.It is a piece of leather.about an inch wide, sewed to a flap eut and turned under the ipside.The space between the outer side and the insole is filled with ordinary tar papér, which holds the soles in shape and also prevents squeaking by taking away the frie.tion.hs system of a welt was invented thirty years «go, but at first it wasn\u2019t a success because the soles were sewed with a straight needle.Couldn't cxplain it to you in a hundred years, hut to prevent squeaking the soles of a shoe have to be sewed with a crooked needle.\u2018You see when a sole is sewed with a straight needle it leaves no flexibility to the sole.Bat the welt added so much to the appearance and strength of the shoe that improvements were made on the first svstem and soon afterward the slant or side sewing by a crooked needle was patented.A shoe thal is made with that improvement costs twenty-five cents more to the manufacturer than the old style.The patent on it still holds good and seventeen and a half cents, a royalty, has to be paid on every pair of shoes that is made that way.But it's worth it.A squeaking shoe nowudays is as bad as an out-of-date dress or a straw hat in winter.\u2019 \u201c MUST PAY THE PENALTY.Port Arthur, Ont, Nov.23.\u2014At the assizes to-day, Judge Maybee sentenced Mike Novani, convicted of murdering a fellow Italian, to hag on

remarkably fine weather in Swit- gerland throughout the summer and autumn has been responsible for the long \u2018est Alpine death roll ever recorded.Climbing proper began in June, and shen and now 231 accidents of a serious character have been officially recorded by the Alpine Club.Nearly 25 percent ai these have been fatal, and 80 percent have been due to the insane determination of the ignorant \u2018mountain scratcher,\u2019 es he is termed in Switzerland, to tackle some peak or make some difficult ascent without a guide.So common have these gu'deless accidents become that the Italian and Swiss Alpine clubs have laid the matter before their governments, with the object of securing legislation that will prohibit all from making certain specified ascents unless the climber shall have passed the examination laid down for professional guides, or shall be accompanied by one of these trained end expert p! jonals.Anotlier very fruitful cause of disaster is the desire to climb alone.This is rarely done by the Swiss, though an accident due to this cause happened to a well-known g swiss ckämber named Eshbach; he tried the Cime de l'Iÿst single-handed, mised his footing, and hung between life and death on a ledge on .the face of a precipice for thirty hours before he was discovered rescued.; One of the many strange instances of the Alps giving up her dead after long years was recorded early in August at Chamonix.Three summers ago Mlle.Buchler.accompanied by a friend, Mlle.Minzlaff, and her brother-in-law, Professor Bashnier, arrived at the Hotel des Alpes for a brief stay.Three days later Mile.Buchler started out alone for & walk, and was never seen again.Two months ago her body was discovered in a perfect state of preservation among the ice near the foot of the Bossons glacier, Many still hold to the opin- jon that was very general at the time, that Mlle.Buchler was the victim of a crime, and that she had been lured away from the proper roufe and thrown into ome of the innumerable crevasses near BY he death of the guide Devassoux a few weeks later on the Mer de Glace, et Chamonix, was due to the breaking of the hand rail of a bridge across which he was leading two young English excursionists, the Misses Cousins, of London.The unfortunate man fell a dis tance of nearly one hundred feet into the Mont Blanc torrent.In y of six \u2018Swiss artillerymen, under Sergeant-Major Nager, after; making a successful ascent of the Gallugtook, mes with disaster doun\u2014Nager de COR athe Ureedhor- ventured a roa ous cige of an abyse, was precipitated headlong on to the Tiefen ier below and was killed on \u201cthe spot.À little later & young Bérnese named Lehman fost his life on the Axalphern, near Brienz, while making an excursion alone in the mountains above.The lad appeared to have fallen from a considerable height, but bow the fatality can have happened has never been satisfactorily explained.; The midsummer months have every year their tale of disaster to the edelweiss gatherers.In the Glacis Canton, at Saasberg, a young Swiss, venturin too near the edge of a sheer drop o four hundred feet in order to reach some edelweiss blooms, lost his balance and went over.His body was recov: horribly crushed, the following day.Five days later an exactly similar accident happened to an excursionist on the Rigi Rotstock, but the victim had the good fortune to be caught | y a pine tree in his fall, and escaped with a bro ken limb.An English tourist was seriously injured about the same time on the Oes-| 5nd active chinen Alp by a fall while edelweiss.The Swiss and Italian press have opened up the whole subject of July al crossing the Paneyrossaz glacier; he lay for twelve hours among the ice with a broken .thigh before he was rescued.Three weeks ago a German named Mel- cher was frozen to death on the slopes of the Morteratsch, -in the Bernina group.During the descent, in company with two companions, Melcher, who wis last and unroped, fell into a small crevasse in the Vadrentine glacier, imjur- ing himself seriousiy, but not dangerously.One of his companions stay with the injured man while the other went down to Pontresina for help.Unfortunately, however, the rescue party lost their direction, and by the time the scene of the accident wae reached, the victim had succumbed from the cold.His companion had both hands frozen.The Jungfran a few weeks ago was the scene of one of the most terrific falls of the year.Two young Germans, Kuchler and Welsing, started out alone to attempt this dangerous ascent.They were never again seen alive.Party after party had scoured the culoirs, crevasses, ledges, and the precipices of the Oberland giant, and for weeks worked amid continuous showers of stones and ice.At last the body of one of the victims was discovered in a culoir near the Rottal glacier, but in such a position that it was impossible to reach it.Lower down a boot was found.and eventually the battered remams of the second victim.A careful examination of the scene of the accident proved that the men must have fallen from the very summit of the Jungfrau\u2014a distance of no less than 3,200 feet! .The most shocking accident of this year's climbing season was, however, reserved for its closing days.On the first of this month four.expert climb ers were dashed ta mieces on the Plan Névé glacier, at the foot of the Pointe de Paschen, near Bex.Later accounts give many graphic details of the disaster.Without doubt Kleimert, who was found with his crampohs on and unroped, slipped, probably.owing to the dislodging of a rock, and carried \u2018his companions off their feet im his fall The bodies were smashed almost he vond recognition, and in every câse the head was crushed almost to a puln.showing the headlong nature of the fall.e arms in each case were found upraised.as if to protect the head, and it is believed from this that the roped members of the party saw Kleinert\u2019s foothold.just above, give way, and instinctively raised their arms to shield themselves.The actual fdll was 480 feet.and mearly sheer \u2014\u2018Pall Mall Gazette: \u2014\u2014

If you take a boat at the Azumabashi, the oldest and longest bridge in Tokio, a short hour's sailing through fine scenery on the smooth waters of the Sumida will carry you to the quiet town of Senju- Not far from the big wooden bridge called Ohashi, or the Great Bridge, where is the landing place, you will find two large leather factories.One is distinguished by the august appellation of The Japan Leather Factory.The other bears the sweet name of the Sakura-gumi, the Cher- ry-flower firm, and has pretty stories of its own.This factory was begun at Irifunecho, in Tsukiji, in the third year of Meijt (1870).1t was Japan's first step towards tanning, or at least tanning in foreign style.In the next year, the factory was removed to Mukojima, the home of blossoms.An expert was sent for from Holland, and the workmen were chosen solely from the Samurai class.They were called pupils and not laborers.In fact, they were pupils in substance as well, They worked hard to master the art with their Bushido, or patriotic spirit.Thus the name of the \"Cherry: ower\u2019 firm, emblematic of the Samurai spirit.rightly distinguished it from other factories.ven to-day, after thirty-six years of changes both within the company and outside it, the same appellation is still retained by the workmen, and with them the same spirit prevails! The next year (1879) the manufacture of leather goods on foreign models was -startéd and at the same time, several \u2018pupils\u2019 were sent abroad to study the art.In the 19th year of Meiji, a German expert was added to the institution.In the 28th year, a branch factory was built, at Shinagawa and the following year) saw a system of division of labor ad throughout the establishment.Nine years ago, a shoemaker\u2019s department was set up; and three years later, in 1000, the company engaged three skilful workmen.from Germany.The same year, the Emperor decorated the diree- tor, Nishimura, with the order of blue jewels (ranjusho) and honored him with the senior rank of the sixth grade.In November of that year, up-to-date machinery arrived from Germany, and the new buildings at Senju were completed.The factory, now consisting of several iarge edifices, is divided into four departments.lirst the leather manufacturing, which consist of tanning and curing.Second, the manufacturing of leather ods, ting being the principal one.\u2018 hird, shoemaking, and fourth, a department for Ting | léather, a temporary_ job ne dou.eather.goods, as soldiers\u2019 belts, gloves, covers, etc.the articles from the front,\u2018 are here cleaned and put into proper - tioh to be stored, believe, ready for future emergencies.: A The first department, i.e., leather ma- nufactoring, employs 117 hands, all nen, with the exception of five girls; the highest wages paid them being 1 yen and 10 sen, and the lowest, 20 sen per day.The second department employs 118 bands, half of them being women.Their \u2018average wage is 67 sen per day.- The third department is at present closed, as the work wag\u2019 ui en by the other factory mentioned above (the Japan Leather Factory) not being enough for both of them to profit by.What a fine instance of non-competition, or a display of the Bushido spirit! Does mot their assumption of the sweet name of the Cherry-figwer firm fully justify them?The fourth department employs three hundred laborers.Here, as the piece work system has been adopted, the laborers are\u201cDot so regular in attendance.1 could count oniy something like two hundred and sixty.Herel found a few men only, women varying in age from girls in théir teens to modest old dames being in the majority.What struck me was their neatness of dress, the ease with which they worked, and above all their happy contented looks.The manager of that department told me that the slow- est- worker gets over three yen in half a month, while the quickest and most skilful made double or even treble that sum.I noticed that most of them brought their own dinners in little boxes of earth- epware, wood, lin, or even aluminium.But some order food from a neighboring eating shop, one meal costing them seven sen.Though the officer assured me o the dearness of provisions on their side of the Gredt Bridge which connects the town with the city, yet the food was good enough to invite one\u2019s appetite.Here in the factory, they have no night schools to attend, the workmen being all grown up persons.But the moral infle- ence is good, and they all work contentedly.here is a kind of insurance system among the workmen calied Kyosai- kai (mutual help sogpty).It was started by a donation of 5,000 yen from the firm and was subsequently increased by private contributions.To this society.cach member pays 15 sen a month, while the directors often make big contributions.If any workman (with the exception of those in the fourth department) has to absent himself for three days or more on any ausible pretext, he ets à certain sum of money every day.The society sometimes lends money to its members, but always takes care not to injure the borrowers in the end.If any member is ill, the two doctors connected with the factory see him free of charge and give him the required medicines at one-fourth of the regular prices.Besides this mutual help the firm.itseïf locks after workmen in case of accidents or chronic diseases.Nor doés it over- Jook their zeal in the discharge of their duties.If a workman is not absent once during & single month, he receives a certain further bonus; and during three years.still more.Consequently there are but few who have never received this extra pay, which they call kaikinshoyo.But this system of shoyo, or reward, is not «nfined to these workmen oniy.The office staff, including the experts, not only receive the bonus, but can in tigre become partners or shareholders.Overseers and workmen all work in har- mony.1 could read nothing but connus; during six months, a resentation fund.member tentment in their faces.But if any one is obliged to leave the establishment, he receives a certain sum of money which is his own deposit with an additional sum from the firm according to lis merits and length of service.When a new man is firet e ed, he receives only three-fourths dé his full wages until he has a deposit in the firm's treasury of 50 or 70 yen, which becomes bis guarantee money while he is in their employ, and his capital when he leaves them.T.T.8.Oct., 1906.\u2014\u2014 THE ROMANCE OF FRANCES PRIME MINISTER.France has more than the usual interest for English people in these days; but, even if that were not so, the career of M.Georges Olemenceau, her newly-elected Prime Minister, would be found deeply attractive.Seldom is a modern chief of any cabinet endowed with natural gifts of such a high order.He is better kmown to the general run of British politicians than French statesmen usually are, and it is only about three years ago since he was feasted and entertained in London.He has been in prison; he does not know to this day how he ed to escape execution; he has fought many duels; he has been a great man in revolutions and threatened revolutions; in fact, he has been a fighting politician all his life, and has never been afraid to run any risk when cal n to do so for the sake of his es e is sixty-five years of age, and a Breton.He was educated a a physi- clan, it is a very curious circumstance that the heads of the Clemenceau family for several generations past were similarly educated, but that none of them ever practiced save for the benefit of the poor.\u2018There is a great deal of human kindness in his nature; but on the other hand he is famous as & bitter fighter who never forgives his enemy until he has that enemy entirely at his mercy.And then when the enemy is no longer to be feared Clemenceau in the warmth of his generosity showers all sorts of favors on him.For shouting \u2018Vive k République!\u201d in the public places when he was nineteen years old.and at a time when it was a crime to have any Republican sympathies, he was thrown into Mazas Ril, and was kept there for three months, As a young man he spent four years in (America, ere he made a living by teaching literary history; and, having married an.American lady, he returned home just before the Franco- German Wai.When the Republic was proclaimed on Sept.4 he was appointed Mayor of Montmartre, and as such had some exciting experiences with the people, who held that he was respon- NEW YORK\u2019S BAD MANNERS A PHILADELPHIAN TELLS OF3HIS EXPERIENCES IN THE METROPOLIS.4 (From the \u2018Ladies\u2019 Home Jounal.\" If ever a lost art was represented by a people it is the art of courtesy among those who serve the public in New York City.Motormen, conductors, vabmen, salesmen, and even the policemen seem to vie with each other as to who will excel m the art of bad inanners.Stand on a New York street corner, for | instance, and hail a trolley, car after car will whirl by you with the motormen as absolutely regardless of you as if you did not exist.Four of these cars rushed by me the other day and 1 jumped on the fifth, took my stand near the motorman, and called his attention to four wonxn at the next corner whom he passed.\u2018Didn\u2019t those women want to get on°\" I asked.\u2018They did,\u201d was the illuminating ar.ewer.\u2018Don\u2019t you stop this car when people want to get on?continued.\u2018I do when I think it's right-\u2014see?he answered, and then turning to me he politely added, \u2018and I can do it without your help, too.\u201d Two blocks further up and a police: man, who had boarded the car, nudged the motorman, and indicated with a side motion of his head a man standing on: the ercæsing with two women, hailing the car with one hand while in the palm of the other he showed a quarter!

| PRIVILEGED STATEMENTS.Citizens\u2019 League Gains a Point in Important Suit.PLEA ALLOWED TO STAND IN THE ACTION TAKEN BY ALD.ST.DENIS.Some time ago ex-Ald.St.Denis entered an action claiming $10,000 damages from the Citizens\u2019 League of Montreal, on account of statements contained in a letter published in the league\u2019s last annual report.The letter referred to, which was supposed to come from the Seminary of St, Sulpice, was written in December last, at a time when Mr.St.Denis was geeking re-election to the City Council The report complained of the inactivity of the police in not enforcing the law as regards the liquor traffic and public morals, and it contained, among others, the following statements: \u2018It is a well known fact that the chairman of the Police Committee, Mr.St.Denis, a man devoid of principle, is the direct cause of such a state of affairs, and I can prove, if so desired, that he has caused the police to fail in their duty.Let the league contest the election of the above mentioned alderman, and give their support to a man willing to uphold the league.; These statements Mr.St.Denis held to be false, insulting and Hbellous, and he took out the present action in consequence.\u2018 In its plea to the action the Citizens\u2019 League alleges \u2018that the league is an association formed with the object, among others, of enforcing the observance of the laws regulating the\u201cliquor traffic and public morals; that said letter was published in the annual report; that said words are true, consist of comment on the life and conduct of the plaintiff, are a fair, reasonable and honest comment on a matter of public interest relating to the actions of the plaintiff as a public man while in a public office; that said letter was publishéd without malice, in the public interest, and the plaintiff sut- fered no damage! To this plea Mr.St.Denis demurred, holding it to be irrelevant, and it was on this demurrer that Mr.Justice Davidson rendered judgment yesterday morning The Court allowed the plea to stand, and diemissed the demurrer, the following being the formal judgment: \u2018Considering that plaintiff does mot complain of the letter itself in so far as it was addreseed to the Citizens\u2019 League; that the league were justified for the reasons stated in letter in their following annual report, and that if the allegations of the plea are sustained said inclusion was privileged, the Court doth dismiss said demefrer with costs,\u2019 GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC PLANS FOR ITS PROPOSED ROUTE THROUGH YELLOW HEAD PASS SCBMITTED TO GOVERNMENT.Ottawa, Nov.23.\u2014The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway has submitted plans to the Department of Railways showing the proposed route of its line from Edmonton westward through the Rockigs to its intended terminus at Kaien Island, near Port Simpson.This route will come up lor the approval of the Minister of lways in a few days.It shows that after a survey of the avail able passes through the Rockies the Grand Trunk Pacific has chosen the Yellow Head Pass, which is regarded as the easiest and the most direct line from Edmonton.- This means, of course, that the new transcontinental line will not go as far north as the Peace River country following the location that was originally proposed.It may be, however, that the government would prefer to have a more northerly route adopted than that through the Yellowhead, in which case further surveys may be necessary.It has been understood for some time past that the Canadian Northern's extension to the Pacific Coast would treverse the Yellow Head, and at the present time the rival companies are at work locating their lines through the same pass.Engineers familiar with the locality, however, declare that the valley is wide enough to accommodate half a dozen roads, and possibly the day is coming when it will be actually used by that many.: te BRITISH SCHOOL MASTERS MONTREAL ASSOCIATION REPRESENTED BY LORD STRATH- CONA AND OTHERS.(Canadian Associated Press.)

With regard to the powers of investment subject to certain safeguards, they saw no objection to the amendments of the present act recommended the Life Managers\u2019 Association, and believed that some restrictions should be made as to investing in one class of securities.They also suggested that a'l mortgages, bonds, debentures and other securities should be deposited in the custody of tise superintendent of insurance; that all investments should be taken in the name of the companies; that the reports of investments, with the conditions attached of.purchase and sale, should be sent to the superintendent of insurance once a month and published regularly in the \u2018Official Gazette.Policyholders, it was urged, should be Tep- resented \u2018on every board, and proxies should not be allowed for either shareholders or policyholders.Mr.M.D.Grant, actuary for the Insurance Department, was called upon to give bis views regarding the actuarial position of friendly societies.In the course of his- evidence he expressed the opinion that friendly societies occupied a distinct place in the insurance field.Their true function was to furnish insurance at or near actual cost.The premium was the basis of their options \u2018and in his view the premium ought always to be sufficient to enable the ao- ciety to earry out its obligations.There was no, difference between the friendly societies and the ,ordinary insurance companies in the fundamental principte, but the fraternals were able to conduct the business at a lower cost and there were no surrender values.and in any legislation that might be mtroduced these considerations should be kept in view.Questioned as to the Independent Order of Foresters, witness said he had made computations based on its mortality experiences and lapses.The bulk of the business in force in the I.O.F.was what they called ordinary benefit, which consisted of insurance payable by instalments after the age of seventy.The obligation was therefore higher than the ordinary, and it was proper and legitimate that the reserve should be higher.The amount of business done by the order was $250,000,000 Wattle THE DUCLOS CASE CORROBORATION OF THE SHOOTING OF DESROSIERS WAS GIVEN YEFTERDAY.\u201cThe evidence given in the Court of King\u2019s Bench yesterday in the case of Alexandre Duclos, who is charged with having attempted to murder Alphonse Desrosiers by shooting him in the head with a revolver, was a corroboration of the testimony of Antoine Grenier on Thursday, and no new fact was forthcoming.The witnesses heard were W.8.Joplin, insurance inspector; Reuben Winters, and Vincent Mortimer, clerks.\u2018Lhey pvere all engaged in the office of the Commerical Union Insurance Company, where the shooting took place.Duclos, who sac comfortably in the dock, followed the proceedings with apparent interest, and, was much less nervous in his demeanor than on Thursday afternoon.The court yesterday was crowded, and many lawyers were present.LECTURE ON MADAGASCAR.An interesting and instructive lecture on Madagascar and its people was deliv- cred in the Cote St.Paul Methodist Church on Wedensday evening by the Rev.James Taylor, formerly a mission: ary of the London Missionary Society in Madagascar.The lecture was illustrated by maps and diagrams, the work of a Malagasy artist, which were greatly appreciated by the audience.Mr.Taylor dealt in a general way with the country and the people of the great African island as these were known to him a few years ago.Many amusing incidents of life and travel in Madagascar were related by the lecturer, such as the kind of house travellers sleep in in the course of their journeyings, marriage customs, style of mourning, the way of receiving visitors, etc.Although the lecture was not a missionary lecture, Mr.\u2018l'aylor gave much useful information concerning missionary labor in Madagascar, pointing out especially the large number of good elementary schools in the island in which thousands of Malagasy boys and girls are receiving a good education, He referred to the native literature gradually growing up through the medium of several magazines printed in the'vernacu- far.and named the Malagasy Bible as a classic work and standard of pure Malagasy Bpeech.A 5 ROMA SAIS NN a IT x A HONORED BY OXFORD.QUEBEC RHODES MAN MADE HONORARY SCHOLAR OF BALIOL COLLEGE.(Canadian Associated Press.)

We will put good boots on his feet And a hat on the top of his head; We'll rob him of rags and disgrace, Give him water that\u2019s sparkling and clear, And he'll thank us with radiant face For the water that\u2019s better than beer.CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR COLUMN.THE REV.FRANCIS E.CLARK, D.D.The Rev.F, E.Clark, D.D., is to visit South America this winter.The cause oË Christian Endeavor is taking a great hold in South America, and a visit from the founder of the movement is calculated to help it on considerably.= We have no doubt that when Dr.Clark returns arrangements can be made for a visit to Montreal.THE MISSIONARY INSTITUTE.\\ | A large number of the local societies have arranged to cancel their regular meetings next Monday in order that the members may have an opportunity of attending the evening sessions of the Missionary Institute that will be in session at that time.Every Endeavorer in the city is urged to take advantage of this opportunity of developing \u201cheir missionary bumps.We want more real missionary enthusiasm in our C.E.Societies.OUR JUNIORS.The rally of Junior Christian Endeav- orers in Calvary Congregational Church last Saturday was decidedly successful.There was a large attendance and the interest was, well maintained throughout.Mr.Harry Maxwell, \u2018the newly elected president of the Junigr Christian Endeavor Union occupied the chair, and conducted the exercises in the afternoon.Miss Brown gave an account of the disposition of the flowers donated by the Juniors a% the Easter Rally, and took charge of the magnificent collection of good things brought by the Juniors to the rally for distribution to the poor.An illustrated address by Mr.Bull.the travelling secretary for Canada of the Scripkure Union, was very much appreciated by the children.and a greater interest in the study of the Bible will certainly be the outcome of the meeting.THE LOCAL DENOMINATIONAL UNIONS.The relation of the local denominational umions to \u201cthe Christian Fndea- vor Union was freely discussed at the last meeting of the Executive Committee, and some action was taken tending towards a more intimate relationship between these bodies of young people.The sub-executive committee of the e a safe path for little feet tof sil SP RICH MINK MUFFS Prices from $85 n $100 HANDSOME MINK MUFFS from $32 0 $65 Alaska Sable Isabella Sable AND Sable Raccoon .$8.00 1 $18.50 | AR TE LE ig = WY tt 70 ry EEL Maire \u20ac 304 Notre Dame West, 380 $t.Cathorine West.\u2014\u2014 for themselves in a short time, Reed\u2019s Fireproof Windows and Skylights will procure large reductions in insurance rates.GEO.W.REED & CO.MONTREAL \u2014 Local Union at a special meeting de- | lates to the habit of scorpions digging cided to recommend that the Christian | their stings into their heals when un- Endeavor Union go a step farther, and {able to escape from tire.invite the denominational unions to send | Experiments have proved the fallacy as represuantatives to the Christian En- | of the scorpion\u2019s suicide, notably those deavor Union four of their chief officers, carried out some years ago by Dr, kK.who shall be recognized as members of | Ray Lankester, director of the natural the Executive Committee with all the ;

Fleece had been washed until his suit of white was spotless.His young mis tress told him he waa a \u2018darling,\u2019 and he fully believed it as he trotted down the steps, with quite a superior \"air, to the dinner which Bridget had placed on the porch for him.He was not particularly hungry, and he sniffed at his piate disdaintully, until he saw a shaggy head pushed through the gate, and a pair of bright eyes watching him with undistinguish longing.The idea that any one else wanted what belonged exclusively to him, increased his appetite at once, and lifting a bone from the dish, he began gnawing it vigorously.The sight was too much for the street dog.Why should one dog have so much as that?Carlo pushed open the gate a little farther, slipped through, and edged his way cautiously down the walk to the porch.Fleece growled at his approach, but the stranger looked at him pleadingly, wagged.his stump of a tail in token of friendship, and said, as plainly as dog language could say it: \u2018Won\u2019t you give a poor, half-starved fellow just a little?.But Fleece evidently enjoyed being envied, and the hungry eyes of a poor street -beggar who had nothing only added sauce to his feast.He lay down between his plate and the intruder, keeping a protecting paw on his bone, and growled a surly warning to keep Carlo at his distance.; Poor Carlo watched him for a minute or two in a disheartened sort of a way, but much knocking about in the world had taught him many resources, and he was not the dog to give up a dinner too easily.He suddenly fifted his head and sat up, with his ears erect.Then he sniffed the air, turned a pair of eager eyes across the lawn and started to bis feet, while Ileece watched his movements wonderingly: The next moment, with a sharp yelp, Carlo dashed away through the grass as if eve thought of the commonplace viands before him were.forgotten.Acyoss the lawn and down to the orchard fence he flew, and therc began to paw and yelp in the wildest excitement.Ficece could not stand it.He was sure \u2018some treasure had been dliscovered on his domain, and his fear that the stranger might secure it, sent him bounding in that direction in hot haste.He drove the strange dog from the hole he was pawing, and undertook the work himself with so much eagerness that he \u2018did not notice how easily the game was given up to him by the hungry dog.By the time he had tired himazlf -out with backing and digging, and had reached the conclusion that there was nothing in the hole, anyway, he turned back to the house to find that - Carlo had \u2018very cunningly made the most of his absence.That sly dog had finished the plate of meat and was now trotting down the street with the last hone.Fleece came slowly back to the porch again, but he received no sympathy from his mistress, who had watched the performance frcm her window.\u2018It served you right, you selfish, greedy fellow! You had more than you wanted, but you wouldn't share a bit of it with one who had nothing, and then you were 80 afraid he might find something a little better for himself somewhere else, that you rushed off after that, and so lost what you might have had here.The selfishness that tries to grasp everything very often ends in getting nothing, and I am glad of it.T hope you have learned a lesson from to-day\u2019s incident, and that in future you will be more generous.\u2019 \u2014- \u2018Morning Star.\u2019 \u201cA BLOOMING BIRD.They were walking on the terrace, Mamma and litlte Fred; There they met a stately peacock, His gorgeous tail outspread.As they stepped out of the pathway, To give His Highngss room, \u2018O look!\u201d cried Fred, astonished, \u201cThe peacok is in bloom!\u2019 \u2014-Mary E.Thomas, in \u2018St.Nicholas.\u2019 ¢ DIVINE BREATHINGS.SATURDAY, NOV.24.THE GLORY OF JESUS.The Bible is full of the revealings of the glory which belongs to Christ.He was before Abraham.The name by which God revealed Himself to Moses, Jesus claimed as His own ,1 Am.\u2019 (John viii.) He was Lord of the Sabbath.(Matt.viii, 12.) Greater than the Temple.(Matt.xii., 6.) Greater than the law.(Matt.v., 21.22.) Law cannot five life; Jesus imparts life.Law condemns; Jesus forgives.He is the light of the world, bringing health, joy and gladness wherever He comes.He is in the midst of the two or three who gather to Him.(Matt.xviii, 20.) His delight is in the believing ones who trust in, agd love, Him.He knew what was in 1.yet came to suffer for, and to save wan, even the rebellious.All angels are subject to Him.He knows the thoughts of all men.(Matt, ix., 4) He hag power over all demong and diseases.(Matt.viii.) He makes men co-workers with Himself (Matt.iv., 19), and they shall share in His coming glory.(Matt.xxv.31-36.) The glory He had with His Father before the world existed.The greatest of joy to heaven and earth will be when He comes again, in the glory of His Father, when angels and redeemed men shall shout for joy at His final vie- aory over gin and all the powers of dark- ress.That will be the consummation of the glory with which He is already crowned.(Heb.ii, 7,8) °° DAILY TEXT.November 24.We spend our years as a tale that is told,\u2014Ps.xc., 9.sumption.Ayer\u2019s Cherry Pectoral qu so promptly relieves coughs.oe sep Old Coughs old ones, too.The next time you see your doctor, ask him why this medicine We have no New coughs are bad enough.Old coughs are worse, much worse.They always make one think of bronchitis, con- ickly ctires new coughs.And it cures si!

parents, which fits | them in many ways to understand the real fra- make of stationery or toilet-water fancicd.At this season, too, the woman whose errands oarry her often to the shops will be glancing about the counters for suggestions, making many of her Christmas purchases at her leisure, and perhaps lighting on a genuine \u2018bargain\u2019 now apd then.I: she is fortunate enough to belong to a cir- \"cle of moderate means, and does not start \"weighted with the consciousness that her friends \u2018have everything already,\u2019 she will turn aside from the conventional paths a lit- le\u2014to the druggist\u2019s, perhaps, or the hardware dealer's\u2014and choose romothing for simple, domestic convenience.A clinical thermometer, a bot-water bag, or a whip- churn, If it finds its way to the person who really wants it, may call forth more appreciation than a piece of rare bric-a- brac.New devices for the nursery or kitchen\u2014 especlally if the giver's own experience adds the personal element\u2014are often ex- cesdingly acceptable, particularly to those who are not in the way of reeing novelties.Another gift sure to be enjoyed by a friend remote from shops would be an as- sortme-t of Christmas trifles, such as each seuson offers in the large citiee\u2014the \u2018newest thing\u2019 in fancy ril-hons and wrapping paper, holly\u2014seals, tinsel and whatnot\u2014in

question of hereditary instincts, which none but a parent is in a position 10 follow up\u2014is in most Cases a sealed book even to the wisest outsider.They may make excellent shots at character, but

butcher shop or in a big market.The foi- lowing may be some guide to both the marketman and the housewife in alding them to select good meats: Let us imagine ourselves before a butcher's block having on it four pieces of beef presenting faces from the round or sirloin, the lean being close grained and the fat very white, the next is dark red, the lean loose-grained and sinewy and the white fat and shining: the third is dull red, the lean loose-grained and sinewy and the fat yellow; the fourth is bright cherry red, the lean smooth and medium-grained, with flecks of white through it, and the fat creamy\u2014neither white nor yellow.The first of these Is cow beef; the second, bull beef; the third, beef from an old or ill-conditioned animal, and the last f(s ox beef.from a steer\u2014is the juicest, ine flavored, sweetest and most economical to buy of all beef.It is called \u2018prime\u2019 when the lean | is very much mottled with white fat flecks, \u2018and when it is from a heavy young animal (about four years old), stall-fed on corn.Beef from a young cow that has | been well fed and fattened is next in merit l to ox beef.Beef from an unmatured aBi- mal is never satisfactory, being tough aud juiceless.It may be easily recognized, as its color is pale and its bones swmadl.\u2014 \u2018National Provisioner.\u2019 MEAT.select around CONSOLATION.Domestic tragedy had overtaken

shall*have.I suppose, to depend largely on the newspaper.The editor wields a tremendous power and on such as are honest, high-minded and independent will fall the onus of this warfare.The werk must also be carried on in the pulpit, on the lecture platform, and more than all in the school and in the home; for it is on the training of the young mind that Canada\u2019s future depends.And besides the agitation and cduca- tion alluded to, we require organization.You speak of an organization of Ruble opinion apart from the parties.o me such a measure has long seemed necessary, but I should feel prepared to face the possibility that such an organization might have to announce its policy and take the field as a new party.It is ali very well for Mr.Borden to talk o amending our fiscal expenditure, our election methods and our public service.Such reforms are greatly needed, but would not this be akin to the medical error of treating the symptoms without treating their cause?We need to eradicate the evil at its source.- And 1 believe that one source of the ! present situation is that those who hold the franchise have not been educated up to their privileges.I should not like to commit myself on paper as to the percentage of our voters who fully realize their responsibilities, but I certainly believe that if the percentage were large it would make a better showing.Even those who realize the gravity of the present.condition of affairs can with difficulty be roused to a sense of their personal re sponsibility.Paint the matter to these men in the most lurid colors and they will certainly ee with you.\u2018We krow all that.\u201cthey will tell you; \u2018hut what can we do?Could men of this stamp be organized for aggressive work on the basis of patriotism, unswerving moral rectitude and the Golden Rule, we need not wait loug for the cleansing of the Augean stable.8S.THE WESTMOUNT WATER BY-LAW (To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014Copies of the Westmount water by-law are now in the hands of the ratepayers for their perusal and study before being called upon to véte either for or against its adoption.' The by-law as a whole 1s too voluminous to be discussed within the limits of a newspaper article, but with your permission I should like to draw attention to what its promoters consider its two redeeming features, and upon which they base their hopes of, succeeding in having it adopted.I refer, of course, to the building of a new intake and the installation of a coagulent filter plant.With regard to the first, it is a foregone conclusion that it is imperatively ne-.¢essary, in the company\u2019s own interest, that a new intake must be constructed.Not only is the old site condemned as unfit, but the requirements of their business necessitate a.supply pipe: of nearly use.Westmounters may therefore dis miss this matter from further consideration, for, by-law or no by-law, a new intake will of necessity become a fait accompli in the very near future, As to its location, that may become the subject of future discussion.The site proposed at present is as objectionable as the old one, from the fact that the inlet will be 800 feet nearer the Verdun sewer outlet, the contents of which may therefore be expected to reach it in a more concentrated form.Whether this be an advantage or not, I leave to the experts on filtration to decide.- And now we reach the zeal \u2018bone of contention,\u201d the filtration of sewage-con- taminated water.Shall we accept filtered water from a source known to be polluted, or shall we be satisfied with water from\u2019 the mid-St.Lawrence channel, which contains the natural impurities of all river water in remarkably small quantities, but which for all practical purposes lie \u2018pure and wholesome\u2019 ?.From.the very outset of this controversy I have contended that \u2018filtered filth\u2019 could never be acceptable 45 a solution of the difficulty, but apparently 1 nave \u201cbeen overwhelmed with argument and with evidence of the wonderful efficiency of modern filtration systems.1 have been assured that even undiluted sewage could be so treated that its effluent became perfectly colorless, innocuous, and even palatable, and when that assurance came from a gentleman (a member of the Westmount investigating committee) who had himself \u2018taken a drink\u2019 of the exhilarating fluid, I had to acknowledge that the evidence was all against me.But I lived in hopes that some day I should be in a position to turn the tables on my friend, and I herewith submit for his benefit and for those who tink with him the following facts: \u2014 Since Oct.5, 1905, the city of Washington, D.C, bas been fully supplied with water from a slow filtration \u2018plant of a price by The Doan Kidney Pill Co., Toronto, NL GTS PE A f capacity of 75,000.000 gallons daily.\u2018This plant is the largest in the United States, ad A PRE f Plant.double the capacity of that at Present in THE MONTREAL and said to be the most perfect in the world.It was constructed at a total cost of $3,356,300, and under the supervision of Mr.Allen Hazen, a gentleman well-known to the Westmount authorities.The reason for installing this plant was the very high typhoid rate which had prevailed for many years in Washington, and which it was expected would be reduced by the supply of filtered water.These expectations have not been ful filied, although the plant has been 1n operation for one year.In fact, the number of cases has shown an increase rather than a decrease, and it naturally has led to various allegations that.the filtration plant was a failure.lhese allegations have of course been just as strenuously denied, and the following statement was officially issued to demonstrate the wonderful efficiency of the filter:\u2014 Filtration Plant at Washington, D.C., January to October, 1906 \u2014Raw Potomac watch, average number of bacteria per c.c., 4,000; filtered water, average number of bacteria per c.c., 18; efficiency ot filter, 95.6 percent.This demonstrated the efficiency of the filter to be almost perfect, and it is needless to add (says the report) that such compleieness of removal has been rarely, if ever, maintained elsewhere, Still, some dissatisfied critics asserted that all was not right, and that the filtered water was contaminated, and that the \u2018bacillus coli\u2019 had even been found therein.This statement, of course, raised a storm of indignation, and finally the consultihg engineer of the New York State: Department .of Health was sent down to investigate, In a special report on the matter he says:\u2014 \u2018Considerable comment was heard in rp- gard to the finding of the sewage bacfe- rium, \u201cbacillus coli,\u201d in the filtered water.Since, however, such bacteria are in the unfiltered water, it would be folly to .expect that without perfect removal they would not be present in small numbers in the effluent.Fortunately, \u201ccoli\u201d tests are made regularly at the filter .These bacterial analyses show that colon bacilli are reduced in passing through the filter in about the same proportion as the other bacteria.My contention is, therefore, rehabilitated \u2018filtered filth\u2019 does not become pure water under any circumstances, but still remains a danger to the community that uses it.; It is further supported by the following statement made by the Professor of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who, after reading the above report, says:\u2014 \u2018The fact that bacilli of the intestinal or \u201ccolon\u201d type are frequently found in the effluent of the Washington filter is neither unusual nor surprising, for the same thing is true with other mumcipal filters -of high repute.\u2019 Qne other point and I am done.The minimum efficiency of the Washington filter is 18 per cubic centimetre.\u2018The minimum efficiency of the proposed Westmount filter is, according to clause 9 of the by-law, to be 100 per cpbic centimetre.As one pint of water equals 550 cubic centimetres, it follows .that each pint of pure water farniswed by the crobes, but the by-law fails to show what praportion of them are to be of the \u2018colon\u2019 type.It seems to me no further argument is required to show the folly of inereasing our water taxes 27% percent for the privilege (7?) of drinking water of this character.C.STEVENS.P.S.\u2014The above communication was in the hands of the \u2018Witness\u2019 before the appearance of Mr.Lighthall\u2019s reply to my previous letter; but without further comment J am willing that it be taken as my rejoinder to his very interesting remarks as to my alleged ignorance of facts.C.s.Westmount, Nov.22.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 Sir, \u2014It appears to me that every loyal resident of Westmount should \u2018Vote agains the iniquitous water bylaw which has unfortunately just passed the council.The Water and\u2019 Power Company is unworthy of \u2018our trust, Judging : from past experience, the contract: now: in exisbénce Having been broken many times.During the last couple of years the company has come forward with three ridiculous offers, each one somewhat better than the former, and should the proposed by-law be defeated I expect to hear of another offer still\u2019 better than the one we are now advised to accept.Now here are two reasons why I intend voting against the proposed by-law.1st.The proposed source of supply will still be polluted from the Verdun sewer at certain periods of the year.2nd.The filtration plant will be capable only of supplying, or rather filter ing, the water to a purity of 98 percent, at the very highest, and possibly less, should the company carry out this contract like its predecessors.The water, therefore, will still be polluted.to an extent of at least two percent, or as I have just, mentioned, much more.I regret to say that \u2018it will, therefore, he necessary for.our: faithful health officer to send us our annual circular, namely.\u2018Boil the water.\u201d \u201d What we want, and what we should have, is an unquestionable source, that will not be polluted by the Verdun sewage or shore water, and this can be had if the company desires\u2019 to act faithfully with us, and remove the intake beyond the Nun's Island, where the water is acknowledged by experts to be very superior indeed.In a word, furnish us with water from the best possible source of supply, and if it be positively necessary.charge us with ten percent on the additional outlay for extending the intake, and then J \u201cfeel satisfied that the kickers.if I may term us so, will all be.with vou, Dr.Chase's Otnt- .ment js à certain end guaranteed cure for each and evory form of itching, bleeding and truding piles.See test m Bais in the press and ask your peighbours sbeul it.You cab use it and get your money back if not satisfied.6lc, at all dealers or EpMAxsoN, Bares & Oo., Toromto.a.LE LS DR CHASE'S OINTMENT 5 2 7 Te ars a a A 5 AE AN OA GRR Pi AE En SAIS eT Ta » company will contain at least 55.000 mi- |- DAILY WITNESS but in the name of all that is good.please do mot ask us to drink filtered filth at an advance of 27% percent.WILLIAM P.RANSOM.\u201c 296 Elm avenue, Westmount.2 HOSPITAL CHARITY.(To the Editor of the \u2018\\itness.\u2019) Sir, \u2014In your issue of last evening you state that some \u2018cutting\u2019 remarks were made at the meeting of the governors of pone General Hospital respecting the abuse of the outdoor department of that meritorious institution by those who can afford to pay.Now, sir, to my mind, many are sent there for surgical treat- meut by the physicians of the various benefit societies of the city, either from regard to their personal pocket or to get rid of a troublesome case; and it siands to reason that when a member of sa:d societies has been paying for a number of years for free doctor (not phy:ician), and medicine, he would only be too glad to avail himself of a letter of introduction from the medical attendant of the lodge to which he belongs.Now, sir, why do not the hospital authorities agree to attend the patients belonging tothe vari- cus societies of the city, accepting in payment therefor the amount now paid to the various lodge physicians?Such a course would, I believe, be beneficial both to the institution and to the socie- !ties in general.The former, because 1t \u2018would be receiving pay which it does not \u2018at present get, and the latter because the {members would feel that they were not receiving charity for what they had been paying possibly for years.1 think, sir, if an agreement could be entered into it would greatly benefit both parties, and that the hospital would be recouped for what they are at present gving for nothing.Anyhow, I throw lout the suggestion for consideration, and subscribe myself M.A.H.Montreal, Nov.22.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir, \u2014Referring to Mr.Oramp\u2019s question and Mr.Crathern\u2019s reference to the want of desire to pay anything by the so-called poor, for the great bensüts cun- ferred upon them, should there not be some method of finding out whether a atient 13 able to pay or not for the kindness and skill shown to them while in our hospitals?: There is certainly a lack.here, for 1 know of a case lately, where the man was rursed through a Yong fever and came out, without paying a cent, while he was a man in steady employment, making on an average four dollars a day, Doubtless there are many others like this.On the other hand, there are cases that, while not as able as the one 1 refer to, pay all they can.I am sure there are hundreds who are quite able to pay fifty cents a day, if there was some cne Lo look after such being collected, and so help the hospital to a very great extent.\u2018BUSINESS.a Montreal, Nov.22, eels DR.SHAW\u2019S SUGGESTIONS AS TO PRISON LABOR.(To the Editor of the, \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014I do not claim to be a specialist in criminology or penology, but circum- tsances of such glaring hardship meet my view on ail sues as constrain me to make a suggestion that I think might easily and wise.y be carried into effect.The daily grinding of our police courts throughout the Dominion pours into our privons continually its large output of criminals.man \u2018is convicted of drunkenness, or of beating his wife, or of terrorizing the community, and unable to pay a fine he gets his four days or ten or thirty days in jail, and so the process goes on through the months and the years with not the slightest reformatory element about it, except from many excellent magisterial warnings.My suggestion simply is, that such characters be sent into a penal institution to work, and that a portion, say, one-half of the profits of their labor, be given to their most unfortunate wives and children or others dependent upon them, if there be such.Whether the imprisonment for one week or for ten or | thirty days, they should not in any case spend it in demoralizing idleness, and if they have families they should be made to contribute to their support.What a sad and common pictyre is this?A man who may do something for his family when he is sober, becomes demonized by drink.He beats his poor wife, who is compelled to seeq police protect- tion for herself and children.The man is sent two months to jail, .but what about the wife?Before thie she obtained a little help from him.now she is letf perfectly helpless.\u2018Such villains should be made to do something for those dependent upon them.some profitable work additional to the few light jobs the jailer may impose.For the man to pay a fine is simply to take that much money from the food and clothing of the family.To go to jail means that the public feeds and lodges him while his family is starving.Winter comes on and many of these worthless characters purposely commit some offenpe just to secure \u2018a comfortable refuge in jail | where they can stew themselves in hot apartments in the congenial atmosphere lof immomlity, while their innocent | families are freezing and starving out- ;

in competition with regular trade, though this is done in some of our penitentiaries,, but if this labor is only for public service it represents so much value to the state, and in this value dependent relatives of prisoners should to some extent justly shere, and so these characters could be compelled to do something for the sport of their wives and children, who, though gener- aly innocent, ere the.ones most pun- shed.: LL There .were 14,000 convictions for drunkenness in, Canada last year, and in consequence there were probably several thousand destitute women and children whose husbands.sons and bre- thers might wisely and justly be forced to contribute something to their support, instead of being maintained at public expense.For the sake of the drunkirds themselves, for the sake of society, and for the make of helpless women and children, let this simple policy be tried.Possibly some statutory provision would be required to empower the proper authorities to determine what share of the products of a prisoner's labor may be given to those who are dependent upon him.WILLIAM I.SHAW.SOUTH AFRICAN VETERANS.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Dear Sir,\u2014Kindly insert the following letter addressed to members of parliament: À meeting of the \u2018Association af South African Veterans of North-West Canada\u2019 \u201cwas held at Cowley, Alberta, on October 27, 1906.At this meeting « resolution was unanimously carried thut the Premiers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and all the members of par- lament of the Dominion be asked to support by vote and influence the granting by the Federal Government enough land to the Governments of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta io meet the claims of the South African Volunteers in the same manner that Ontario and British Columbia recognized their volunteers for their services to the Dominion in the great Boer war.In consequence of the above resolu- ion, moved by J.P.Marcellus, M.P.D,, and seconded by John Herron, M.P.this association asks you personally to extend us your sympathy in support of that great sympathy already expressed by the people of the West, and when the time comes, to cast your vote in our favor.: PF is with great pleasure we are enabled to tell you that our cause has been honored by the signatures of Premiers Roblin, Scott, Rutherford.Mac- Bride, and many other prominent citizens, not volunteers.Although we do not wish to trespass \u2018too much on your time and kindness.we ask you to answet this letter to our secretary at your earliest convenience, that we may get an idea how the people of your constituency feel in the matter., T.G, WILSON.Sec.-Treas.S.A.V.of N.-W.Canada.Livingstone, Alberta.\u2018PRAYER UNION FOR ISRAEL\u2019 (To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\") Sir,\u2014In the \u2018Witness\u2019 of Nov.15 there is a letter under the above heading.urging Christians to pray for Israel.\u2018The writer mentions only the Jews.and his letter shows he had only them in his mind.But the Jews are only two tribes of Israel, Judah and Henjamin, with certain of the Levites.What about the other ten tribes?Are they not also I-ruel, and deserving the prayers of Christian: ?It is said that there are a million and a half Jews in America, and thirty thousand in Montreal.It would seem, therefore, time that we should begin to inquire a little mors carefully into the subject of Israel.Particularly does this subject deeply concern (rentile Chris tians, becaupe the ingathering of lerael synchronises with their own fall, and the parsing away of the Gentile dispensation.What are the facts, well known to all Bible students?In the reign of Reho- boam Israel was divided into two Kingdoms by the secession of ten tribes under Jeroboum.They never reunited.In the reign of Hoshea the ten tribes, called the house of Israel, were carried captive into Assyria, and there is no record that they ever returned to their own land.Many vears afterwards, the two tribes, the house of Judah, were carried captive into Babylon.In the reign of Cyrus they returned under Kara and rebuilt the walls of Jeruvale'n and the temple.Doubtless, the twelve tribes were tory.Perhaps the policy here suggest- | intermingled to some extent, and there 4 Eh were representatives of wl ve Judea at the time of our Savio: equally bevond doubt that the of the house oi Israel.Liv never returned to Palestine | dras xiil., 40-42, we read: \u2014 Those are the ten f{ribe< whirl.Ted away prisorers out of their in the time o2?Osen the king, w |manasar, the king of Assyrea.\\ captive, and he carried them over ters, and s> came they intn «nn!

Once more, as so often before, persecution was made to further the Gospel: the banished ones returned, led and kept \u2018their Jesus\u201d And the Chinaman was right when he prophesied of prosperity; for before many months had passed, the hospital was re-opened\u2014named the Roberts Memorial\u2014and some ten thousand Chinese were present or the occasion to express their congratulations, including, it was understood, a goodly number of former Boxers.At the time of the opening ceremony, which took place in 1903, ig connection with his work, Dr.Peill wrote to us that the function mas the biggest he had ever witnessed in the city, a crowd gathering even larger than that which had come together for the sacking and destructiop of the former buildings.Between three and four hundred guests had been expected.By Chinese etiquette, those who - brought \u2018tablets,\u2019 \u2018hangings,\u2019 and \u2018scrolls were also entitled to attend the feast.As it would (according to native ideas) have savored of showing too bigh an opinion of themselves for the mus- sioparies to invite personally even these whom they desired, the ten leading \u2018gentry\u2019 of the city took the matter in hand, and the letters were delivered by the megistrate\u2019s runners.As a result the numbers were such that the ingenuity of the helpers was taxed to the utmost to devise ways and means for lessening the numbers without offence.But great consideration was shown by the visitors, large numbers of whom were equally anx- icus to avoid being burdensome: and in the end the occasion afforded a umique opportunity of preaching the Gospel as well ag manifesting its power and spirit before the leading people of an area the size of Wales.To many a busy doctor in home practice it must tell of even more arduous labors to learn that in five days he performed fifty-two big operptions, some of them very tedious and complicated.Dr.Peill had some wonderful stories to tell of the wondrous change which was arought by the grace of God in the lives of Chinese converts.The story of -one of these, a young man named Huang, is well worthy of being recalled now.When the Boxer troubles came, this earnest believer was prepared to die rather than recant; and when he had difficulty with a quick-tempered British officer with whom he took service, he meekly blamed his own stupidity, though he said \u2018his master was not exactly what he understood as a Christian.\u2019 After many opportunities of watching his Oriental friend, who had also studied medicine, Dr.Peill expressed himself in terms which told of great joy at the privilege of knowing and laboring with such a man.A very gracious work of revival was experienced last winter in connection with the work at Tsang-chou.As Dr.Peill wrote, the movement began among a small company of students, following the restoration of harmopy after a time of estrangement.Those who have shared similar experiences can best understand how great must have been the joy in the heart of our brother now with the Lord when he wrote:\u2014 \u201cThe Spirit's power, convincing of sin, brought contrition to mew hearts daily.Men and women, boys and girls, in meetings formal and informal, in groups or individually, broke down into sobbing or tears.and then went forth in the Spirit's power, themselves the living proofs, to tell about the Saviour\u2019s love to all whom they could reach.At one time there were ten in one of the wards who gdve in their names as inquirers, In another ward were several more, while in the third (the eye ward) there appeared to be not a single man who was not deeply interested.The women, too, were greatly stirred.One map stood up in a crowded meeting to thank God, with genuine emotion, for the grievous\u2014and perhaps incurable\u2014afiliction which had brought him here to be saved.He begged us to pray for him as he went back to preach the Gospel! In a later letter, referring specially to one meeting on a Sunday evening, Dr.Peill wrote: \u201cThe blessing came beyond our antiel- Fpation.After an address on \u201cPeter's call,\u2019 the people knelt in prayer, and, men and women joined in who had not been heard before.As the earnestness deepened two or three began together, and the sense of sin grew general and intense.One of the women's hospital ntirses: eried aloud, with tears, for forgiveness, and others spontaneously followed, till, as it ceemed.the room was filled with the sound of a mighty repentance.It was a scene that will live in the memory, and the sound like the roar of the sea.Strong men were crying in spiritual agony, tears pouring down their cheeks, and even forming little pools on Lhe floor beside their knees.Oblivious to all that was going on around them, men were praying with a fervor that words cannot de- seribe.The spiritual awakening spread from the hospital into all the other parts of the mission work.and the people came together until the waiting room was crowded out.The converted etudents had joyous testimony to give of what the Lord had done and was doing for them.I'hen they went forth, the \u2018preaching fever spreading day by day.Singly and in bands, the students went out in the villages and towns around.By and by the older schoolboys went also, and their example was followed .by those even in the junior department.Women and girls also joined in the evangelization of the district, and a time of blessing was experienced such as bad never before been known by the workers.After careful pondermg on the subject, Dr.Peill came to the conclusion that among the facts which contributed to the revival\u2014besides the martyrdoms of 1900 and the refining of the church by trial, with a deep desire for spiritual life, especially since the news of the Welsh , revival, which had been kept before the 1 people\u2014were the good urdrstanding be- I REF USE SUBSTITUTES.i

which begins at 7.30, is prolonged until 9.30.and after that the workers l'sten with the ingniries in the anterooms.The singing by the chorus under the direction of Mr.L.E.Smith is imspiring, and occasionally Gipsy Smith himeek sings a solo.; After the sermon the evangelist spends fiftéen minutes or so seeking to bring his auditors to a definite decision.He nearly always asks that the ey of every one ese he closed while those so disposed make their way to the inquiry- rooms.Tender, almost plaintive, are the words with.which he wooes his hearers.This part of the service as rule reveals best the great loving heart of the evangelist as that of a man who really believes that the one indispensable thing for every person 1s that he should come to Jesus and come at once.; Before preaching Mr.Smith often presents to the congregation specific Te- quest for prayer that have been sent to him.The other night some of them were \u2018for a brother who bas good points but is not a Christian.\u201d \u2018for two wayward boys.\u2018for a husband who is a backslider,\u201d and \u2018for a young woman deenly moved who would not go into the inquiry-room.\u2019 .The sermons night by night are definite and effective presentations of the heart of the gospel.Mr.Smith's habit is to take one or two basal truths and state them forcibly and illustratively.The sermon on The Lost Christ was pronounced one of his most powerful Last Friday evening he began bv ones.telling his hearers that God was calling them to a halt in their lives, that he was there to coax and move and warn them until they should see their sin and hate it: that they knew they were not right; thev had a_desire for God.but it would freeze and die unless they obeved its promptings.His appeal was \u2018to their best nature, their sanest iudg- ment, their most honorable feelings.their manliest, instinet.\u2018At your peril don\u2019t kill this desire for God, if so you will become hard.feelingless, despisers of the Son of God.\u2019 ; As he went on he grew intense and personal.You're kinder to a dog, same of vou.than you are to Jesus.What will vou do withont him when the coffin i in sight?Don\u2019t despise the man you will want in the most critical moment of your life.\u2019 There was agsnecial word for the mature.\u2018Listen:Ÿgray-haired men.I came to Christ when T hadn\u2019t£ a gray hate, but when FT Meet him T am going to gay.\u201cLord Jesus, T haven't been as good as T ought.hut LT have grown gray in thy service\u2018\u2019\u2019 There was a word, too.for the person in mental perplexity.Never Expected To Walk Again.Mr.John Best, Thamesville, Ont, could not walk a step when he began using Dr.Chase\u2019s Nerve Food, could scarcely feed himself, could not read, was very bard of hearing, had pains in bis back and sides.His doctor treated him for loco- motor ataxia, but told him he could never get better.Ile could not feel the needles the doctor stuck into his legs.Three months after beginning the use of Dr.Chase's Nerve Food.Mr.Best wrote az follows: \u2018I am glad to tell you that 1 have been wonderfully benefited by the use of Dr.Chase's Nerve Food.1 can now walk all over without eruteh or cane, can sleep and eat well, and do lots of work about the farm.In fact.l am the wonder of the neighborhood where I live, for I never expected to be able to walk

REMARKABLE RESULTS OF BIBLE KNOWLEDGE EXAMINATION.(By Mr.T- A.P.Clinton, in \u2018China's Milions.\u2019) Since the opening of Hu-nan to the Goepel, many remarkable things have been chronicled, causing deep gratitude and praise to rise from the hearts of God\u2019s people all over the world.On Feb.21 of the present year another great event was added to the long list preceding it, -and i it be indicative of greater things yet to be within the province it seems only proper that it should be made known, that interest may be stimulated, prayer drawn out, and thanksgiving rendered to the Giver of All for his favor.On the evening of the date mentioned, the compound of the C.I.M.wore quite a festive appearance, for all the lamps, lanterns, and silk hangings available were displayed, and the church so recently redecorated by the Christians was occupied by a most intelligent and reverential company.Representatives from the other two missions were also present, who took the keenest interest in the proceedings, and surely the high objeot of the meeting, the presentation of Bibles to the successful compétitors was worthy all that could be dône to make it memorable.Six months before, a syllabus of a proposed Bible knowledge examination was issued, and declared open to all competitors.It was long and comprehensive, as a glance will show, and it meant hard work to anyone taking it up, especially as Chin- se occupations, though perhaps not so arduous, leave little leis vi daylight and dark.ure between OLD TESTAMENT.- Repeat names of O.T.books, Repeat Genesis I.Repeat

a handsomely-bound Mandarin Bible, such as one man said he had longed for for ten years, but was unable to pur chase.Even after the syllabus had been on view several days 1t seemed almost an impossible task to set to people already fully occupied, but while we did not say so, we secretly hoped someone might venture and perhaps secure fifty percent.A preparation class was started, but this just enabled us to muke a mere outline of the work and set the Bible students on the track, then the difficulties appeared as each man had to battle for himself.When it was sll over, without exception, the ten successful men knelt and thanked God for the victory, acknowledging it was only by his grace they had been enabled to stick to it.- 2, The moral and mental discipline required to sustain such a prolonged effort was tremendous, and shows again how truly the late Mrs.Bird-Bishop summed up when she said, \u2018Chinese Christians are made of the best stuff in Asia\u2019 They worked strenuously for six months, and after the examination of the first competitor, it is putting it mildly when I say I came out absolutely amazed.For two hours a young farmer repeated Scripture and only dropped three or four characters.When we came to Solomon\u2019s prayer.he said quietly.\u2018May we kneel as the great King did\u2019 and reverently and beautifully, without a slip, he repeated the thirty-nine verses comprising that prayer, and ere we separated he handed me a dozen pages of carefuily-pre- pared manuscript showing quite an extensive acquaintance with Christian commentaries, etc.I thought he could net be surpassed, but the appearance of each additional candidate increased my astonishment ; at least three were within a shade of perfection.Each man was examined separately and privately.Most of them at the beginning were intensely nervous, though we tried to put them at their ease and allowed them to choose their own style.Mr.Yu Peh-ling knelt the whole time, two hours and a quarter, and he told me afterwards he had not slept all might thinking about it.nor had he touched breakfast that morning.His summary of St.Mark\u2019s Gospel was a maenificent achievement.Beginnng from the first .chapter.he repeated, consecutively and correctly.no less than ninety-six items.It seemed to me that he never missed a salient point in the whole Gospel.It was so strange, too, to hear from Chinese lime how the story of King Robert the Bruce and the spider had enabled him to pluck up courage when, after several attempts at the work, he be- shriek of a passing parrot.knelt in prayer he said so bumbly, \u2018Lord! I'm stupid, and haven't read many books, but I had in my heart to make this preparation and thou hast helped me.\u2019 When Mr.Sheng presented himself I knew he would do something out of the ordinary for he is constantly springing surprises on us.Indeed, he is the greatest surprise himself, for he delights to tell the people how he just said one day, \u2018Lord.I accept thy word; I believe; 1 trust thee to enable me to break my opium,\u2019 and there and then the ehacklcs of twenty- four years were broken, and for the last three years he has been the Lord's free man.When we came to the names of the patriarchs, instead of saying the twelve names he repeated the whole chapter, and in bis summary of Jonah he added one of those inimitable comments for which he now is famous.Referring to the casting of the lot, he said that on one ticket was written the words: \u2018This trouble is on my account,\u2019 and sure enough, Jonah picked this very one.At my request, Mr.Sheng, the following Sunday evening, repeated the story of Jonah to an enraptured audience.His freshness and originality surprise and delight us all, and his services are ever freely given, though he has business to look after, and he is far from being a robust man.\u2018The recitation of Scripture by Mr.Kan was a treat to listen to; he has a fine memory and a rich voice.Several places where sections of a chapter were prescribed, he repeated the w ole, and in addition he recited Hebrews xi.and when repeati the names of the books of the Old and New Testaments he gave also the number of chapters in each book.Mr.Li Iu-chang, our trusted evangelist, had hard work in taking the course; he was often up at 5 am.poring over the Bible; and it gave us great satisfaction to see him do so wel.Another prize-taker, Mr.Lo, did excellently.When he first became a Christian he had to hide his Bible and hymn-book up the loft for fear of his wife, but he has persevered, and she has changed completely, and attended worship Te cently, bringing beveral friends with her.Each man has some distinct feature of interest, but the \u2018noble ten in this the greatest effort of their lives.makes a unique I wonder if an- 1 other church in Christendom could be found with ten men who could repeat so much Scripture so accurately, for eight of them secured ninety-two percent or over the syllabus, and two 92 percent, The presentation Bibles wree suitably inscribed, and it seemed very appropriate to the occasion that Mrs.Clinton, a daughter of one of the Mandarin Bible translators, should make the presentations.The morocco-bound, gilt-edged Bibles, resting on a table covered with erimson satin.looked very handsome, and the joy depicted on the faces of the recipients can hardly be described.The effect of this Bible study is most marked in prayer; I have rarely listened to mature Christians of other lands blending, the promises and other words of Scripture go beautifully in their petitions.Seven years ago it was our great longing to have just a few who could ponder over with us the deeper things of the Word; our desire is granted, and the Bible seems to sparkle with light to those who, just a few years ago, seemed almost incapable of a spiritual aspiration.Again and again we have been indebted to our native brethren for suggestive interpretation of difficult es.Verily, they have \u2018received with meekness the engrafted Word\u2019 and \u2018rejoice as one that findeth great spoil.\u2019 THE CRY FROM THE CONGO.(By the Rev.John H.Hartison, F.R.G.S.) \u2018The day was fast drawing to a close: the sun, rapidly descending, cast long shadows through the forest trees.\"Lhe great Congo forest lent a stillness to the evening, broken only by the steady hum of ite insect life or the occasional ~The brown river flowed on unconsciously of the myriad life that danced upon its sur- ace.\u2018On its bank there sat a missionary meditating: \u201cWould \u2018help never come?Must a whole race be ensla without a protest from Christianity Such were the thoughts that crowded in after another day of anxiety.\u2018A dusky form emerged from the bush and confronted the white man\u2014a noble physique, a manly bearing, and with easy + \u201cBoudele wa Nzkomba\u201d (\u201cWhite man of God, I presume\u2019), \u201cI am the son of the chief of even days and nights I ave travelled to find you, my object being to urge you to Visit our district before we are all mas sacred.We have offered great rewards to others if they would persuade you to come and visit us.As none would offer, I, the first born, left my country.and here I am laying our plea before 923 you.\u201cThe same story\u2014\u201cRubber or your life\u2019s blood,\u201d chiefs degraded, then tortured to death, husbands shot in cold blood before their agonized wives: women ravaged in front of their children, and them put to death;
