dence of God.lence, since his name has | been mentioned in connection with the | See of Montreal, he has been a silent spectator of passing events, and the call | comes thercfore with the keener gense of | gratification.The first thought is of Kingston\u2019s loss.will be very great.Dean Farthing came here, known to very few, but with | the assurance of friends that he was scholarly, experienced, courteous, zealous, a man of large heart, sympathetic nature and benevolent character, an untiring worker in every good cause.As the Cathedral preacher he was eloquent, practical, progressive.No one, in so short a time, covld have identified himself more closely with local conditions, and Jabor- ed more assiduously for local interests.This accounts for the regret which all feel now with regard to his removal.The persistency with which his friends, uninfluenced by any act or word of his, have sought the choice wbich the Synod of Montreal has at last made, is a great comphment in itself.When the deadlock occurred some weeks ago, and an English ecclesiastic was invited to Montreal, the Dean was quite agreeable, but when he was again made a candidate, successfully, he had assurance of a Joyal- ty that was most touching in its quality.The laymen may not be able to penetrate as deeply as the clergy into tue inner | life of one who holds a sacred office, but | the laymen know when they are ennobled | by coming into contect with an inspiring | jersonahity, and Dean Farthing is the | layman's truest friend.Without the | loss of dignity he has touched the hum- | blest life and helped it.He is therefore | the better qualified to succeed Drs.Bond ! and Carmichael, of similar characteristics, | and saintly memory.i The \u2018Whig\u2019 will he sorry when the Dean leaves Kingston, because of the good he has been doing, hut it recognize that in Montreal he will have scone for the exercise of those virtues which find generally their best expression in the happiness of his people.THE \u2018NEWS\u2019 TORONTO.The election of Dean Farthing, of : Kingston, to the Bishonric of Montreal.will be generally accentable to the: members of the Church of England in| This 1s not only because | twill suit Church people elsewhere but!

man\u2019s countenance simply beamed with gratitude.Pulling out his handkerchief, he took off his spectacles and wiped them thoroughly, after which he adjusted them on his nose again, and patting the sailor on the back, said, \u2018You certainly are an honest man, and I wish to reward you.\u2019 After making a hurried search through his pockets, the old man said, \u2018This is the smallest bill T have on me,\u2019 at the same time producing a $200 bill.\u2018I wonder if I could trust you to go and get this changed for me?\u2018But, how do I know that vou will ever return,\u201d he added, on second thoughts.The sailor produced $2.65, being all the change that he had in his possession, and added to that his watch and chain.which vere valued at about twenty dollars.The cailor then hurried

C.P.R.\u2014 An agreement has been reached between the Canadian Pacific and the town of Fort William regarding the exemption from taxes of the company\u2019s property.The company will pay, it is understood, twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars per year in taxes, and will be exempted from the balance, and will in the very near future undertake the construction of two bridges across the rivers to the islands, a cleaning elevator, a new depot, increased shops for repair work, and will agree to concentrate their business at the head of the lakes in the city of Fort William.The company also give three hundred feet of frontage to the city for the purpose of building a dock, and a subway will also be built.The papers will be signed in a few days, and then the definite agreement will be made public.The Canadian Pacific has lately acquired a large area of land on Island number one, and it is understood that they now have in all some two hundred and forty acres on the Island fronting on the lake.On this property the company is preparing to spend a large amount of money in the improvement of their terminals in Fort William.INDIANS AND POLES A ROW AT BRANTFORD, ONT.pre A Brantford, Ont., Nov.25.\u2014The police last night rounded up eleven Polanders, who, together with another man, E.Gladiator, were taken into custody this morning on charges arising out of a row among Poles and Indians on Pearl street on Monday night, when one Indian, Isaac Mike, of Scotland, was stabbed in the breast, and so badly injured that he may die.The clash occurred in front of a house where the Indians were engaging in a dance.Further up the street there was a Pole wedding feast in progress.Some Polacks sauntered down to the dancing quarters and a fight ensued, in which twenty participated, many being injured.The affair was not reported to the police until last night.9 is à certain for and protruding money back if nos setisfled.dealers or \u2014\u2014 m and gusran oure each

DR.MACPHAIL\u2019S IDEAL sm A Twentieth-Century Woman writes: \u2018I have read the report of Dr.Andrew Macphail\u2019s address before the Montreal Women\u2019s Club on \u2018I'he woman and the veil,\u2019 and T ask, as a constant reader of the department \u201cOf Interest to Women,\u201d if may have a little space in which express my bumble opinion on certain phases of the subject treated in the addrese.Dr.Macphail assured his hearers that he was going to do them the honor of speaking the truth as he saw it, so one naturally believes that the learned doctor really does hold those remarkable views.r.Macphail complains of not being always understood, or of being misunderstood.The writer, or speaker, who addresses the general public, or some portion of it, has to consider not only what he says, but also what he implies.Thus, when Dr.Mac- phail says: \u201cThe women of the rich are creating work for themselves and are even willing to perform the drudgery of a charitable society, for the sake of tiring themselves out,\u201d one is willing to believe that the speaker does not mean that he thinks the work of the charitable society does not of itself come within the sphere of the gentlest, noblest womanhood, or that it is not a grand thing that, in a world where the poor are always with us, there are women who have the leisure and are willing to perform the drudgery of charitable societies\u2014but certainly that is the 1Inference one might easily draw from his statement.\u2018Dr.Macphail seems to take jt as rather ungrateful of the Turkish woman that she wants her liberty.He says plaintively that \u201ceven with all her rights and privileges the Turkish woman 18 not content, but is demanding her lib- erty\u2014that is, the liberty of exchanging the bone for the shadow.\u201d Let us see what are these rights and privileges.\u201cAt marriage she receives a separate estate from her husband.and he has no future control over it.It remains with her even if she is divorced.\u201d Yes.and her husband can divorce her at any time and at his own will or pleasure.All he has to do is to pronounce a certain formula, and the divorce is effected.She, it is needless to say, has no moral redress.But it is not from her legal status that she derives her domestic authority.\u201cIt is due to other circumstances entirely, probably to the wearing of the veil, and all implied thereby, that the Turkish woman exercises a power in the household which to ue would appear tyrannical.Her husband may not come into her presence without her consent, ete.\u201d Put over against this that in the choice of that husband the woman has nothing to say.The Turkish man might enter matrimony in either of two .ways, by choosing his wife veiled, through the mediation of a third per- eon, usually his mother, who rerorts on her beauty of person, or by buying a wife.Outside the pale of matrimony, the Turkish girl has no authority whatever; and once married, while she may be an autocrat in her own apartments, she cannot make even a call or visit the bazaars without the permission of her husband.As to the influence traceable \u201cto the wearing of the veil and all implied thereby,\u201d it is not an ennobling influence either in ite source or its effects.Someone said one time that the Sick Man of Europe was dying, not from political, but from social conditions.The encaged beauties of the harem, for long refused education, became a compound of the spoiled child and the shrewd woman, an arrant plotter, selfish on principle.The Turkish wife, treated as a plaything and valued for her beauty and her power to divert, thought not of helping her husband on a higher plane but \u2018of pleasing her lord and master, by flattery and cajolery, and thus winning her own ends.Before she was permitted the solace of reading, the lady of the harem led the most vapid and empty of lives.Surrounded by slaves, she had few household tasks to perform, and when she was tired of eewing or visiting other women in their apartments, she spent much time lounging among her slaves, listening to stories and gossip.Now the Turkish ladies are becoming educated, are taking a keen interest in what is going on in the world, and demanding to be freed from the veil, with what it implies of domestic slavery.In the emancipation of Turkey, the women are taking a part.In a recent meeting of women at Constantinople, the president said, \u201cThe light which has risen over our country is to light everyone, without distinction of sex.We women also must receive its beams, for we too have the right to demand our freedom.We wish to help at the new birth of our race; we wish to help to bring charitable institutions into being, homes for the poor and their children.But we must have the same rights and the same position as that which European women hold.And in aspiring to this we must be etrong in virtue and in honor, We want full equality, full freedom.The Turkish woman must in future be able to breathe freely; the intolerable fate of being guarded, the bondage of the harem, which has hitherto made us slaves and degraded our womanly dignity, is a thing of the past.Turkish family life must now be built upon the foundations of right, liberty, and equality.\u201d To exchange the exaggerated outward deference paid by custom to the veil\u2014as a symbol of man\u2019s exclusive ownership\u2014for the right to self-owner- ship, to live her own life and exercise the qualities that win real respect, who can besitate to say which is the bone, the substance, and which is the shadow?\u2018Everyone who hae read the history of the world must agree with Dr.Mac- phail as to the potency of womanly \u201ccharm.\u201d As a modern instance, almost every one who has written from personal knowledge of the leaders of the militant suffragettes, epeaks of the undeniable charm of Miss Christabel Pank- burst, a quality that is having its influence in the struggle.Speaking of to \"OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.the case for the defendants in the Bow Street Police Court, Max Beerbohm said, \u2018Throughout, indeed, the charm of her youth was made the more manifest by the elderly task she was doing so youngly and so well.And the fem:- nine charm of her was heightened by the fact that it was a masculine task she was doing so well and in so very feminine a way.\u2018I must confess to being too stupid to get at the \u201cinwardness\u201d of the sentence, \u201cGentleness and goodness and continual quietness are always mysterious.\u201d 1 have always had the impression that it was the \u201cvillain of the piece\u201d who was mysterious.Becky Sharp, for instance, is a much more mysterious person than the good and gentle and quiet and obvious Amelia.Beyond question, goodness and gentleness and a quiet manner are eminently desirable in woman, but T do not think these qualities are in danger of being lost.\u2019 DOES HOUSEWORK COARSEN In a certain play, one Mrs.Brooks complains to her husband that since she 1s obliged by his poverty to do her own housework she is losing her original daintiness and refinement.This almost breaks his heart, and he becomes a thiet in order to give her the luxuries to which she has been accustomed\u2014and to preserve her valuable daintiness and refinement.One thinks that they must have constituted her sole capital, since they were worth so much.This suggested to a western newspaper to offer a prize for the best, essay on \u2018Does housework coarsen women?\u2019 Hundreds of essays were sent in answer to the prize offer, and of them all only three took the ground that house work would \u2018coarsen\u2019 a woman.It probably was taken for granted that the \u2018coarsening\u2019 means simply the losing of outer elegance and delicacy of appearance.It is inconceivable that the pursuit of duty, conscientiously and faith< fully, should ever do anything to anybody, except to elevate and refine the spirit.One of the essayists recalled the fine, strong helpmates of early Colonial days, and of generations after them who were not discouraged because housework fell to their lot.And do we not all know women who are ennobled by the work they do for their families, because they do it in the right siprit?The winner of the third prize added: \u2018Any woman can do her own housework without suffering in appearance, if she will.I say, \u201cif she will,\u201d for in most cases a woman's disregard of refinement and gentility in appearance is caused by discontent.Like the girl in the play, she finds her duties harder than she expected and consequently she becomes discouraged and discontented.But patience and perseverance will bring success.And the happy consciousness of duty well done will ennoble rather than degrade a refined woman.True refinement and gentility are impulses of the heart, and the right nature will not permit any but a good appearance.If the little housekeeper realizes the true value of her work, she will feel that she may associate on equal terms with the best of her sisters.\u2019 This is all sound doctrine, but it is nevertheless undeniable that working in the steam and heat of the kitchen does, as a rule, impair the delicacy of the complexion, and paring vegetables does leave traces on the hands and nails.But housework is a healthy occupation, and the complexion is likely to remain wholesome looking, even if it does lose some of its delicacy.By wearing loose gloves to sweep and dust in, and by the use of the nail brush and a bottle of lemon-juice and rose-water to remove stains, with cold cream anplica- tions at night to overcome roughness, she can keep her hands from looking anything but nice.Moreover, hy judi- clous management she may get an hour or more every day for that reading and study of the best in literature and art without which the maintenance of culture is impossible.ENCOURAGING THE CHILD WOMEN ?Mothers who are anxious about the manners and behavior of their children have need to guard against falling into the nagging habit.Children naturally resent being continually \u2018corrected,\u2019 and the outcome of the critical method is apt to be the opposite of what is desired or sought after.One mother recognizing in what direction her constant reminders of manners, standing straight, personal neatness, deference to elders, etc., were tending, substituted a course of encouragement and compliment whenever there was a chance.I'he boy was told what a straight, fine fellow he was growing to be, how proud he had made his mother by remember- Ing some little courtesy, etc., thereby stimulating his pride in himself, the result being beyond what any amount of nagging could produce.With the little brother she profited by her first experience.Instead of the struggle to implant truth and honesty in his nature, and punishing him for every lapse from! straightforwardness, she always speaks of his frankness and honor before him with such confidence that he values the quality of \u2018\u201csquareness\u2019 Whenever she discovers a weak point in the character of one of the children she watched until she finds a chance to praise that very trait, in a way that can be sincere, until the child becomes so proud that he ig truthful or neat or whatever may be the aualitv she is anxious to instil in him, that he could not be otherwise.Equally valuable is the spirit of mutnal appreciation between parent and child this course establishes.FANCY WORK OF THE PAST There are those among the passing generation who could mark the fight of thié modern Portia, as she conducted à | time by the milestones of vanished = ?fashions in feminine handicraft.There wag the spatter work of their early girlhood, A stray survivor, somewhat the worse for wear, indicates that the favorite subject was a cross draped with ferns, white against an inky background; faint tints shading into deepest black.This was followed by the more difficult accomplishment of young ladyhood, the making of wax flowers.What energy, patience, and time were expended on these, and how sturdily they resisted the onslaughts of time and the jeers of the rising generation.Somewhere in every one\u2019s picture book of the st there is the image of a tall bell glass, surmounting a wooden pedestal, the whole protecting a platter of waxen fruit in hectic colors and of incredible size, or, perhaps, again.a white cross with garlands of lilies and roses.Wax flowers yielded place to wall packets made of thin, narrow splints, plaited and bent, when moistened, into ingenious shapes, and tied with worsted tasselled cord.These had their brief heyday, and then came cross stitch mottoes.Framed, also, in black walnut, they hung over doors, distributing texts from unexpected nooks and corners.Or else, in miniature, mounted on silk, they marked the place of the last, Sunday\u2019s text or the daily chapter.Mottoes came and went, and macrame held the place of honor.Ladies\u2019 sewing societies armed themselves with balls of the heavy cord and stout crochet needles, and marble mantles vanished in the fringed draperies with ribbon decorations that resulted.THE \u2018WITNESS\u2019 DAILY MODEL The home dressmaker should keep = i talogue scrap hook of the able outs.These will be (aly very useful

Schools Discussed by Protestant and Roman Catholic Committees.Quebec, Nov.25.\u2014The Protestant Committee of the Council of Public lnstruc- tion met yesterday, with the Rev.Dr.Shaw presiding, those present being Prof.A.W.Kneeland, the Rev.A.1.Love, the Hon.J.K.Ward, Principal Peterson, Mr.Justice McCorkill, Prot.Jas.Robertson, Messrs.J.C.Sutherland, Geo.L.Masten, H.B.Ames, W.S.Maclaren, G.J.Walker, P.G.5.Mackenzie, J.Whyte and Miss Georgina Hunter.At 10 o'clock the committee adjourned to meet the Roman Catholic committee in the Private Bills committee room, when the proposed amendments to the school law were again taken up.Mr.Sutherland, of Richmond, first referred to the matter of consolidation of schools.1.Article 115 of Act 2 Victoria, Chapter 62.This is a» follows: \u2014 \u2018Whenever, during one year, the average school attendance in any district has fallen below ten pupils of school age, the school commissioners or trustees, as the case may be, may close the school therein and convey, if necessary, the pupils free of charge to any other school or echools within the municipality.They may also, in such case, annex the distriet to another district or to other districts temporarily or permanently, at their discretion, without appeal under article 482 of this Act, provided con- vevance is furnished so that no child shall be obliged to walk an unreasonable distance.\u2018Whenever the echool commissioners or trustees decide to unite two or more schools and to convey pupils to a central school, they may undertake all necessary expense, including, at their discretion, the purchase of suitable vehicles for the use of the contractors.The contract for conveyance along the routes which they prescribe shall be made by tender after public notice which shall specify all the conditions of the service.The school board may fix an upset price, and should the contract not be accepted at said price, any member of the board may, by unanimous vote of the other members, accept the contract.The contract, in such case, shall be fer one year only and can be renewed under the same conditions after tenders have been invited.\u2019 Mr.Sutherland indicated that the Protestant Committee were disposed to meet the suggestion made two months ago that the powers of the school boards in this matter should not be made wholly independent.The amendment therefore is changed by permitting an appeal to the Department of Public In- etriuction in case of disputes.Mr.Justice Carroll thought there should be appeal to the Supreme Courts, and Mr.Mackenzie to Circuit Courts.but after further explanations from Mr.Sutherland these were withdrawn and the motion assented to in full.The Rev.Dr.Shaw presented the sec- cnc amendment, to wit :\u2014 2.The said act is amended bv the inserting the following article after article 126 thereof :\u2014 \u2018126a.So soon as such trustees have heen elected all rate-payers within the municipality belonging to the religious denomination of the dissentients therein and not sending their children to any school under the control of the school commissioners, shall be deemed to be dissentients.and shall, for school purposes, be under the control of the school trustees.The provisions of this article shall apply in the case of school trustees elected under the provisions of art:cles 128, 132 or 135 of this Act.3.Article 139 of the said Act is replaced by the following : \u201c139.Subject to the provisions of article 129 of this Act.any dissentient may and shall cease to be 40 by giving, before the first day of May of any year, a notice to the chairman of the school trustees, or to their secretarv, and to the Superintendent of Public Instrue- tion.that he holds the religious belief professed by the said majority and therefore wishes to come under the control of the school commissioners for the said municipality.\u2019 This was carried with the addition of requiring that dissentients should be asked for by a two-thirds majority of the minority.All the other amendments, with the exception of that of No.seven to Article 436, were adopted.Dr.Shaw expressed his hearty appreciation of the admirable manner in which the Roman Catholic Committee had acceded to the requests of the Protestant Committee, and thanked them far same.after which the latter committee withdrew and resumed their reseinn, which was taken up with routine business and the adoption of a few reports.The next meeting of the Protestant Committee will take place on the last Friday in February next.IDENTIFIED BY

TEMPERANCE WOMEN MONTREAL WANT THEM.\u2014 1N The County Waman\u2019s Christian Union held ites quarterly rally yesterday at- ternoon, in the hall of the Inspector Street Mission, Mrs.Walter Paul, the vice-president, presiding.Mrs.McLachlan, the president, reported negotiations under way between the Provincial Union and the Knowlton Conference for a three days\u2019 Institute in the Conference Grounds next summer.Greetings from St.Patrick\u2019s Temper ance Society were brought by the secretary, Mr.W.S.Neilan.Mrs.Cross, provincial superintendent of anti-narcotics, urged greater activity in temperance work in the Sunday- schools, The Franchise hour was presided over by Mrs.F.H.Waycott, who, in opening the subject, said women had alwaye been told that you would find a woman at the bottom of every trouble in the world.But whatever women could be blamed for, they could hardly be blamed for the government of the country.From the time of the Indians, in this country, men had had pretty nearly full control, and a mess they had made of it from the streets to the morals, Surely women could not have done worse! A certain body of women in the city had listened this week to a long talk from a much-quoted man, on the subject of woman's lost \u2018charm.\u2019 But she had not heard of any one who could discover from the address just what that mys- terrous \u2018charm\u2019 was.We were taught in the Westminster Catechism that \u2018Man\u2019s chief end was to glorify God, and she had always supposed that that included women too.But no! T's speaker.would have them know that woman\u2019s chief end was to please men.If Canadian women lived in Turkey that talk might affect them, but here, no matter how desirable they might be, there were no harems for them.In coming from uptown to down town she had had, during the past hour in the con- ditibn of the streets, an object lesson on the efficiency of our present method of government.Women were constantly told that they did not understand pol- tice.During the past few days Mr.Asquith said in the British House of Commons that he had an announcement that would please the brewers.\u2018I'he government had , decided to withdraw from the Licensing Bill the clause forbidding the employment of barmaides, and the IJiberal whips gathered their forces and made the matter a party vote against their own clause.If that was politics, certainly women did not nnderstand it.The Barmaids\u2019 League had fought that clause, and the money to fight it had been furnished by the liquor men.Here was one reason why some politicans did not want women to have a vote.In Denver, three weeks ago, the women voters, on a hurry-up ticket, had re-elected Judge Lindsey, the children\u2019s judge, by a vote double that polled for either of the candidates put up by the party interests to oppose him.Why did both parties oppose Judge Lindsey?There were two reasons\u2014he had secured a law forbidding messenger boys to deliver messages to houses of 1ll- fame and forbidding them to enter a saloon.The women wanted clean men, who would protect their children.The London \u2018Times\u2019 had very latel discovered with surprise that among all the talk of helping the unemployed, pra- vision was being made only for the men.Women were not surprised, they were quite used to it.Mrs.Russell Sage, in New York, paid $60,000 a year income tax, yet was allowed no fraction of a say in how the money should be spent.She was only allowed to contribute to the ambulance corps that, picked up the wrecks.The British cabinet had withdrawn the equal suffrage bill after it had paseed its second reading on the ground that there was no time to discuss it further.Later, however, they had been able to make plenty of time to pass new laws to punish the women who disturbed the parliament, because of that withdrawal.Mr.Bernard Shaw\u2019s answer to Mrs.Humphrey Ward was that every reason given for withholding the vote from women could be given with equal truth for withholding it from men.Mrs.Julia Ward Howe had also given an admirable answer to Mrs.Ward and President Roosevelt, was a strong advocate of equal suffrage.In New York when the women teachers asked for equal pay for equal work, they were calmly told by a senator that they had no vote.\u2018Influence\u2019 was much to be desired, but power still more.Much was made of woman's beautiful work in the homes.Women had made the homes and made good ones, but the children had a way of growing up and going out on to the streets made by the fathers, and the moment they stepped upon their own father\u2019s streets they were in danger.Frances Willard had long ago urged that the homes suffered for lack of fathering and that mothering was the great need of the state.Mrs.Radford was tired of antisuf- frage sophistry.The best men were strong supporters of equal suffrage.She had attended \u2018suffragette\u2019 meetings in England during the past summer and bad heard nothing of the extreme talk reported here.She, too, had heard the address on Woman's Charm and had not been able to make out what the speaker was driving at.Much of the work formgly done by women had been taken off of the homes by men and women hgfl had to follow it.Were women, instead of following this work out of their own homes, to spend their time in their homes at bridge parties?Mrs.Ludington, speaking of her experience in working for prohibition in North Dakota, was convinced that temperance women did not realize how much faith the best man had in them.or how their influence was dreaded bv the liquor element.As for the charge that some women would not use the vote she had never found it harder to get women to the polls than to get men.Mrs.McLachlan testified to feeling THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS the need of a vote when she had worked at Ottawa trying to \u2018influence\u2019 the members to vote for the anti-cigarette Mrs.Currie said women\u2019 were needed in politics, and it was a common Say ing at the primaries in the equal suffrage states when a man of questionable record was nominated: \u2018Don\u2019t put him down, the women will scratch him.\u2019 Replying to some criticism \"of the attitude of the Montreal press towards women, Mrs.Waycott said she thought that they were treated, as a rule, with great fairness.i The secretary said the prize for the best leaflet, offered last spring, had been awarded to Mr.Robert Cameron Stewart, of McGill, Third Year Medicine, for an article entitled, \u2018The personal responsibility of physicians in regard to alcohol,\u201d and that the prize for the local union securing the greatest increse in membership had been awarded to the Union at Point St.Charles.FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.The ladies of Mizpah W.C.T.U.have arranged to hold meetings for the boys of the Loyal Temperance Legion m the hall at 1112 St.Lawrence Bou evard,

district, however yielded, as tena), a good supply of excellent quality.The total number of barrels exported from the port of Montreal siuce the be- ginring of the shipping season amounted to on\u201cy 351455, as compared with 629,516 barrele last season.This shows a considerable decrease for the present year.The stock on hand in the country ic estimated at from 150,000 to 176,000 barreis, while at the ssme time in 1907 there were 300,000 tarrels in storage.The ecarcity of apples in the West is such that they can be readily disposed of in the local markets tor 2 very good price.Montrea.has,therefore, to look to the Eastern provinces for a sufficient supply, and several carloads of apples from Nova Scotia are being received weekly.The price of apples in the local market is rather high, and in thie connection it nay be eaid that the prices have advanced, in three weeks\u2019 time, from $3 to $4 a barrel for second class apples, and from $4.50 to $5 for the best grades.It is expected, however, that present quotations apples will be cheaper before the end of :he year.Mr.C.W.King, Board of Trade, reports the shipments of apples from the port of Montreal from

of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, was born at Rock Island, Ill, in 1556, and came to the Grand Trunk Railway in 18%.He is recognized as one of the foremost railway men of Canada and the United States.It was largely through his efforts that the Grand Trunk Pacific was launched, Mr.Hays reai- izing that if the Grand Trunk was to hold its own in the Dominion it would have to have a line of its own into Western Canada instead of having to transfer all of it- freight and pascenger trafic for that section of the Dominion over to rival companies.With the completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific the parent compary's mileage will be increased from nearly five thousand miles to nearly twelve thousand miles.© It i= also thraugh Mr.Hays\u2018s ambition that the Grand Trunk Railway has taken its place as one of the greatest railway system: of the continent.Mr.Hays is also president of the Ceutral Vermont Railway,which is eontrolled by the Grand Trunk, and while he is known to be a hard and consistent worker as a railway magnate, he finds time to devote some attention to other matters of everyday life.He has a happy faculty of doing much work with little commotion, and his advice is continuously sought after, not only by railway men, but by those engaged in financial, commercial and industrial pursuics, and in works of benevolence and general usefulness.Behind all this is seen a kind and generous heart, and a true Mfe, and to every honest man, Mr.Hays stretches a large, strong and helpful! hand.Ic short, Mr.Charles M.Hays is a splen- id example of what braius, pluck and in- ustry can overcome and accomplish.A an who thinks much and deeply, and, above all, independently, upon a great variety of suljects.| Capital paid up, $8,000,000.A general Banking Lawrence Boulevard, and Town \u2014 CHEESE SITUATION AT HOME AND ABROAD.Trade Not Up to the Average of Other Years, But Outlook is Promising._ Produce merchants on \u2018Change this morning drew attention to the fact that during the eeason just closed figures published regarding cheese receipts, during the first three cor four days of each week; have been larger than those issued for the cor- reapond\u2018ng days of last year.The reason fur this is that a number of the cheese boards throughout the country that held gales on Saturday last season had been changed to Thursday, the result being that cheese heretofore arriving in Mont- rea! towards the week-end were really received during the early days of the week, but vt may be noted that the figures this sesson, during the latter part of the week, have been less han last year.During this reason, according to Board of Trade figures, the total receipts show a decrease of over 100,000 boxes, as compared with twelve monthe ago.The cheese market to-day may be termed steady, with oldest cheese firm.As the Clcse of navigation is due there is very little active business passing over the tabie.Some shippers in Canada appear to have confidence in the future, basing their opinion upon the position of stock on hand compared with thie time last year.After the close of navigation ia 1907 .Le esti- maled stock of cheese in T2:1\"> was sald to be from 310,000 to 325,000 buxexs.Aes a ma ter of fact the total shipments between the cree of navigation and the opening of navigation last spring amounted to 360,000 boxes, beside which 25,000 to 39,600 boxes of old cheese were shipped :w'nediate.y after the opening of navigation, parl of which went to the bottom of the English Channel when the SS.\u2018Latonia\u2019 was lost.Thie year the most optimistic of traders clajon that there would be about 2.0,000 boxee in Montreal and from 60,00 to 75,- 000 im the West.Others entertain differ- vit views and claim that the stock in band \u2018n Montreal amounts to 150,000 to 160,000 boxes, and probably 50.000 to 60,000 iy the West, but if the highest figures are arcepted it would go to show that the stock on hand would be about 100,000 less than last year.One noticeable fact in ibe local market is the small supply of what ie known as late mhake or tail end good.The market being absolutely bare, the dmand has, for some time past, exceeded the supply.Prices are quoted to-day at 12% to 12% cents for Ontario, 11% to 12 cents for Eastern.Very few of the latter, however, are oblainable.The large shrinkage in receipts of cheese this season may be accounted for largely by the small production of cheese in certain parts of this province.A large number of factories changed to butter making early in the season, and continuing for some t'me, practically into the early autumn.However, the outlook in the produce lice i& anything but pessimistic and hetter results and returns in the export trade are looked for next season.ONTARIO GRAIN TRADE DULL\u2014 FALL WHEAT SCARCE Demand Not Up to Expectations as Prices are High\u2014Good Pasture Weather.\u2014 Toronto, Nov.26.\u2014The grain trade is rather dull.Farmers\u2019 deliveries are light.but whatever wheat is offered is taken quite readily, and the market is firm.There is likely to be a considerable shortage of Ontario fall wheat in the next crop, as there is a reduction in the area sown, Those who are posted cstimate this reduction at from ten to twenty percent.The present mild weather is ideal for the growth o(the fall wheat that bas been planted, and the lattor is now reported to be in very good condition.Pastures have also become improved to a remarkable extent, cousidering the veazcn, and many farmers are turning their cattle out each day to graze, which will be a great saving on their stocks of feed.Oate are prehably about the strongest grain on the market, in spite of the fact that both milling and fced oats are being brought from Manitoba.These latter are of a very excellent quality.Barley is being marketed more rapidly than any other grain at present, and the price polds steady.althctgh the demand for :t is by no means keen.Corn is egsier, but is pot yet low enough to be used extensively in Cntario in place of cther feed grains.Rye is very dull.A dealer said he ad been trving for a week to dispose of a car, but bad Leer unable to get a bid for it.The only bid on the call board this morning was 73c.Distillieries were filled up.ani will not take any more.Little is doing.as far as peas are concerned.Deliveries are next to nothing, and hids of

THURSDAY, Novevner 24.17-3 fe y CONFESSIONS OF A TARIFF THIBF CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS WRITES | ABOUT TARIFF THIEVES AND TARIFF HOGS.\u2014 Representative Samuel W.McCall, of Massachusetts, a member of the Ways and Means Committee, made public in Washington last night a letter received by him on the tariff issue from Charles Irancis Adams, of Boston, ex-president of the Union Pacific Railway, in which Mr.Adams denounced the men appearing before the Ways and Means Committee with demands for increased duties.Mr.Adams divides them into two classes \u2018thieves and hogs.\u2019 , \u2018I myself belong to the former class, he says.\u2018I am a tariff thief and I have a license to steal\u2019 Following is the text of the letter: Hon.Samuel W.McCall, Washington, D.C My Dear Mr.McCall: I see, in the Boston \u2018Herald\u2019 of this morning, that the president-elect is anxious that those who desire a revision of the tariff in the direction of reduced schedules should make thémselves heard in Washington.It is claimed that those asking that the tariff schedules should remain as they are, or should be changed only in the way of increase, are much in eviaence at the hearings now in progress; and that the tariff reformer, so-called, does not appear, or is silent.You, my dear Mr.McCall, know per fectly well the reason of this.Those first referred to are directly and pecuniarily interested; and, as such, naturally divided into two classes.Speaking after the fashion of men, they are either thieves or hogs.I myself belong to the former class.I am a tariff thiet; and I have a license to steal! It bears the broad seal of the United States, and is what is known as the \u2018Dingley tariff.\u201d I stole under it yesterday; I am stealing under it to-day; I propose to steal under it to-morrow.The government has forced me into this position, and I both do and shall take full advantage of it.I am, therefore, a tanff thief\u2014with a license to steal! And \u2014what are you going to do about it?The other class come under the hog category; that is, they rush squealing and struggling to the great Washington Protection Trough, and, with all four feet in it, they proceed to gobble the swill.Well acquainted with those of this class, you know their attitude and their utterances.It is useless for me to dilate upon either.To this class I do not belong.I am simply a tariff thief; but, as I have said, with a license to steal.But, on the other hand, I am also a tariff reformer.I would like to see every protective schedule swept out of existence, my own included.Meanwhile, what inducement have I to go to Washington on a public mission of this sort\u201d A mere citizen, I represent no one; if: I went, I would receive from the committee scarcely a respectful hearing,sif any hearing at all; and I would have, to go at a considerable expense both of my money and my time, the last of which I can least afford.My position in these respects is exact- Iv.the position of myriads of others.And then they gay we do not exist! Meanwhile, I do know this.On every occasion when of late T have had occasion to address an audience, and reference to \u2018protection run mad,\u2019 or to the tariff as \u2018the mother of Trusts,\u201d has invariably elicited a more spontaneous response than any other utterance I could make.This feeling is abroad, becoming stronger, and will certainly, soon or late, be in evidence at the polls.Meanwhile, the tens of thousands of per rons who feel in that way, like myself, cannot afford ejther the time or, more frequently, the money to go to Washington to ask to be heard before a committee which they know in advance is both prejudiced and packed against them.I have in this letter set forth the situa- ton so far as a revision of the tariff is concerned, as it exists within your per- ronal knowledge and my personal knowledge.You are welcome to make such use of it before the commit: tee.or elsewhere, as you see fit.Meanwhile, have it well understood that my position is exactly the position of tens of thousands of others scattered throughout the country.To ask us to CONSUMPTION IMPURE AIR A CAUSE Disinfection a Proventative.The Boards of Health in all parts of the country agree that consumption is an infectious and communicable disease, and is usually transmitted from the sick to the well by dried sputum floating as dust in the air.This being the case, it can in a great measure be restricted by the use of a reliable disinfectant.Dust, dirt and germs are best removed from floors by first sweeping with a cloth-covered broom moistened with à dilution of one part Platt\u2019s Chlorides and ten parts of water.The furniture and woodwork should be dusted with a cloth, dampened with the same dilution.The cuspidor should be washed out daily with boiling water and a dilution of one part Platt\u2019s Chlorides and four of water kept constantly in it to receive the sputum.The patient's clothing should be kept by itself, and thoroughly boiled when washed.Platt's Chlorides is an odorless, colorless liquid disinfectant which instantly removes any foul odors and destroys direage-breeding matter.A quart bottle will last an average family a month and it_can be obtained at al] druggists.ok with sanitary information mailed Yor ~\u2014 \u2014- ATLANTIC CITY, No.LAKEWOOD, N.J.\u201cAMERICA\u2019S GREATEST RAILWAY SYSTEM\u201d All Year Health Resorts reached via

special from Benson, Minn., says that seven people were injured, but none seriously, in a wreck at four o'clock this morning, between a Great Northern Coast Flyer, and a freight at Clontarf, six miles west of that city.Following the collision a fire started, destroying three day coaches, one mail, one express, and two baggage cars, the latter containing about five hundred pieces of baggage; the caboose, and four freight cars, all loaded with lumber.The freight train had run past the switch, and was backing up on the main track, when the express, two hours late, crashed into the caboose.A heavy fog prevented the engineer from seeing the danger signal.Engineer Ira Denny, of St.Paul, and his fireman, were both badly burned and scalded, while the express messenger, Wallace, received slight injuries, , UNRULY STUDENTS A WARNING TO THOSE AT DAL- HOUSIE COLLEGE.Halifax, N.S.Nov.25.\u2014The six Dal- housie students arrested last week on a charge of assaulting the police and creating

The South African Veterans\u2019 Association of Montreal held their first so.i1} meeting last evening in the 3rd Fied Battery quarters, Drill llall, and at proved a most successful function.The chair was occupied by the Rev.J.M.Almond, M.A., the president ot the association, who, in his opening remarks, said that less than a year ago the S.A.V.A.had only 20 members in Montreal; now there were over 200, and the roll was steadily increasing.The objects of the association were three fold; (1) to foster or to extend the comradeship begun on the veldt in South Africa; (2) the association stands for development and interest in all great Imperial subjects; (3) as a body to be a force here in the city of Montreal, he wanted the veterans to be a moral force, taking an active part in the questions cf the day and it was only by sincerity of purpose and taking a lively and intelligent interest in current topics that this could be done, The Veterans\u2019 Association would foster and help all comrades who were striving manfully to become good citizens, and would help any who fell by the way, but thev would not encourage loafers who were too lazy to help themselves or to strive to better their position.He said it was a matter for self-congratulation to have associated with him officers who worked so loyally and he considered it an honor to be president of an association of veterans which in less than twelve months has grown to be the largest in Canada.After reading letters of regret from His Excellency the Governor-General, Colonel Oscar Peltier (Quebec) and Col.W.O.A, Dodds, he called upon Mr.M.M.C.Mann to open the entertainment with a piano solo, which was cxe- cuted with brillianey, after which Mr.Daly aroused enthusiasm by an inspiring recitation entitled \u2018In the name of the King,\u2019 which recalled to many of those present scenes and incidents of the old days on the veldt.Mr.A.Fereu- gon gave several comic songs, and Mr.A.Forsyth contributed a violin sola, after which the Celtic Male Quartatte (Messrs.M.M.P.Phelan, P.II.Griffin, W.Costigan and S.McCaffrey) rendered several glees.Ex-Quartermaster-Sergeant Ned Thomas and his brother, Mr.Tom.Thomas, next gave a ten minutes\u2019 scientific exhibition of the noble art of self-defence, and songs were subsequently rendered by Mr.T.Conche, Mr.J.Fisher, Mr.Strong.Mr.W.Melluish, Mr.James McLean, Mr.Lewis, Mr.Pennington and others.- Special mention must he made of Mr.T.Mitchell, whose playing of the pipes and dancing of the Highland fling were loudly applauded.Mr.Willie Eck- stein gave a piano solo in brilliant style, after which \u2018Kid\u2019 Batten, who clatins the featherweight championship of South Africa, and his manager, Mr.J.S.Wordless, gave a ten minutes\u2019 exhibition of catch-as-catch-can wrestling.Several musical items were theu contributed by various members of \u2018the association and the singing of \u2018God Save the King\u2019 Lrouzht tho entertainmens to a sucecssful conclusion.CONCERT AT ART GALLERY \u2014 RECITAL BY MRS.ENID MARTIN HANSON WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.A delightful concert was that given in the Art Gallery last evening by Mrs.Enid Martin Manson, assisted by- Mr.Merlin Davis, Signor Barbieri, Mr.Fel- lowes Hanson, and Mr.Frederick Blair.Mrs.Hanson had been quite ill with a cold for some days previous to the concert, but in spite of this her singing last night enhanced her reputation.She has a mezzo-soprano voice of exceptional register and tonal qualities, and the vivacity and force, delicacy of shading, with which she rendered the, six selections, which were her contribution to the programme, quite captivated the audience.Her most successful effort was Verdi's well-known \u2018Cavatina.\u201d All the brilliancy of her voice and her methods were shown in her rendering of this masterly composition, and at the conclusion she was enthusiastically recalled, though the audience forebore to insist upon an encore, as it was obvious that Mrs.Hanson still felt the effects of her cold.Signor Barbieri, the new violin virtuoso at McGill, made a great hit on this, his second public appearance in Montreal, and it seems quite evident that he is going to be a favorite.There was a good deal of quiet smiling during the performance of his first selection\u2014Grieg\u2019s Sonata in F\u2014for he fidgeted with his chair, his bow, the palms on the platform, and with his music score.He saw the humor of it himself, however, and finally he dashed the music stand from him, and springing to his feet, finished the selection without a score, and smilingly bowed himself out amid tumultous applause.Thereafter he dispensed with both seat and score, and his exceptional technique and temperamental qualities were displayed at much better advantage.At the same time there was no attempt at musical gvmnastics.He sought rather to charm with such simple and delightful airs as Elgar's \u2018Chanson de Nuit,\u201d and Fauré\u2019s \u2018Cradle Song,\u2019 played with muted Mr.Merlin.Davis, the tenor, sang very acceptably.his selections including Beethoven\u2019s \u2018Adelaide\u2019 Noel Johnson's \u2018Spring Flowers.\u201d

animals from their cages in zoological gardens and 1nenagerics are fortunately rar.Vvhen they do occur the work of recapture 1s s«t about in a businesslike fashion and the prison breaker is generally captured vetore anything is known outside, In the pericdical issued by the management of the Breslau garden an amusing story is told of an incident of this kind.Some years ago on a fine autumn morning just after the gates were opened there was a loud knocking at the pay window, and in reply to the Inquiry of the money taker who presented him: &lf, a man in a state of great excitement said that as he was walking on the Oder bank he had seen through the palisading a large bear loose in the grounds.\u2018Gireatly obliged to you, air.\u2018 was the reply.We know that already; that bear go s for a walk every morning and returns to its cage before the visit: ors come in.The man went away quite satisfied.The official.who knew the real state of affairs, at once ordered the gates to be closed, and the director was at \u2018once informed that the bear was loose, It Was a serious matter, for the animal had killed a keeper in a travelling menagerie and for that reason wax sold to the zoological gardens.Moreover when a mate had been put in with him she soon fell a victim to his bad temper.While the authorities were considering the best steps to take to recapture the bear\u2014for they were loath to shoot such a fine animal\u2014the keeper whose neglig-nce in leaving a door unfastened had caused the trouble made his appearance.His only reply to the reproaches of the director for allowing the bear to escape was, \u2018Well, we shall have to get him in again.\u2019 He went off to the storeroom.filled hua apron with carrots and bread and th sought the bear.When he saw the animal he called out to attract its attention and by throwing down food enticed in to the back of the bear dens.Here the man entered through a small door by which new arrivals are put into the cages.He was closely follmved hy the bear.but reachrd the middle of the cage before it had scrambled through the small opening.Then he dropped on the floor the rest of the food he had in his apron and made his way out of the cage, which at once securely fastened in front and at the rear.Thus the in cident, which might have had serions consequences, ended happily for those on whom the responsibility rested, \u2014\u2014\u2014 COW FARMING IN CALCUTTA.(From \u2018Daily Consular and Trade Reports.\u2019) There is a splendid opening near Cal cutta for at least two real up-to-date dairy farms.The Europeans of Calcutta depend on one dairy farm for milk and butter, and this farm is a day's run by rail from the city.Compared with the native milk and any other butter obtainable here the product of this farm 1 first-class, but compared with the products of American dairy farms it is a third class.The custom of leading a cow from customer to customer and milking in plain view still prevails to some extent in Calcutta.FRENCH \u2018TOMMIES\u2019 BREAD.The little loaves of bread supplied to the French soldier have from time im- memcrial been known by the name of \u2018boules de son\u2019 (literally, \u2018bran balls\u2019).Their ongin dates back to the First Republic.In the Middle Ages the French \u2018Tommy Atkins\u2019 recéived mo rations, amd had to depend on what ha could get from the enemy.At a later date a commissariat department waa created, and the soldier was allowed two loaves, of twelve ounces, per diem.In 1790 the troops received frée rations of bread without any deduction from their pay.This bread contained a little flour, but bran predominated\u2014 hence the name, \u2018bran balls\u2019 In 1870 it was decided to supply bread made of flour only, but the loaves continued to retain their old name.Now the \u2018boule de son\u2019 is about to digappear absolutely, and the \u2018braves soldate\u2019 will henceforth have bread lighter and more nourishing AND lUk

St.Catherine St.West © e 9 473 St.Catherine St.East CITY WILL AGAIN PLEAD WITH THE POWER COMPANY.Mayor and Ald.Yates Appointed to Negotiate for a Settlement of the Lighting Question.The lighting question is evidently to remain unsolved until 1910.\u2018The City Council decided last evenins, by a vote of twenty-four against mie, to call a truce to all efforts to reach a settlement ot the street lamp problem this year, and go right back to the old position of holding pourparlers with representatives of the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company, first of ali with a view of obtain- lug a continuation of the street electric lgnting contruct trom Dec.31 next, the date of its expiration, until the expira- t.on of the gas contract on May 1, 1910.With this agreed to on the present, or such other terms as the City Council may approve, negotiations will then be continued, as they were begun nearly three years ago, to settle the whole question of the supply of gas and electric light, heat and power to the city and citizens under the terms of one coutract.Mayor l\u2019ayetre and Alderman Yates, the chairman of the Fire and Light Committee, wit! conduct the negotiations with the Light, Heat & Power Company on behalf of the City Council.This decision was arrived at after a three hours\u2019 earnest discussion in which many of the old arguments were repeated and much straight talliing was indulged in, notably by Aldermen Gadbois and Carter, against the company.The for mer maintained that in asking the city $75 per annum for ten years for lighting each and every one of its sixteen hundred are lamps the company was in à most unjustifiable manner charging on this \u2018wholesale order\u2019 exactly the same price it would Jevy on the \u2018retail order\u2019 trom a private consumer who would sign a twelve months\u2019 contract for one individual lamp.Ald.Carter said it was a shameful \u2018hold up,\u201d and he proposed to compel the company, unless it accepted the old rate of MO per lamp.to put down lampposts and light the streets by gas, und: + the terms of the Gas Company's: contract which is stil in existence.This motion and the subjret-matter of the speech of Ald.Gadbois were the only new elements introduced durmg the prolonge debate, excont a very important mnendment- and perhaps the most practical pronosal oË the day-moved by Ald.J rier, towards the closc ot the mecting, to the effect that the lighting question should be referred to three arbitrators, one to be named by the Mayor, a sec ond by the Power Company, and the third jointly by the Board of Trade and the Chambre de Commerce.Ald.L.A.Lapointe had, however, pre- | viously proposed, in amendment to the Fire and Light Commitiee's proposal to offer the company a flat rate of S75 for every arc Jamp in the sirrets of the city as it is to-day, or as it may be enlarged ; by annexations during the ten years the proposed pew contract is to run, that ne- otiations be opened with the Power Company on the lines which have already been indicated.This amendment ~o- cordingly had precedence, and its adoption.of course, prevented that of Ald.Fraser from going to a vote, COMPANIES MAY CLASH IN SUBURBS.\"5 { On the euggestion of Ald.Lavallée, made at the commencement of the discussion, an important clause was added to the Fire and Light Committees report.He said there are municipalities on the island of Montreal which have entered into contracts with other companies, the Saraguay Company, for ex ample.If the report were adopted as ,t stood, directly any of these municipall- ties were annexed to the city the Viont- real Light, Heat and Power Uompany would have the right to provide any further street lights that were needed.This would result in the city having two services of light, with two poles at every street corner, and two different companies to pay for lighting :he street Jamps.Therefore, he suggested an additional clause to the report, stating that the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company should provide lignts in annexed municipalities only it th: City Council judged it necessary by tor mal resolution.Aldermen Yates and Lavallée, as the mover and seconder of the report, agreed to accept the addition.On Monday.when this question was jntroduced, Ald.M.Martin moved to amend the report by changing the price of lights to $85 per lamp and reducing the period of the proposed contract to five years.He now moves in amendment, seconded by Ald.Gadbois, that the price payable on a five-year ALD.GADBOTS SUB- the event of the company refusing the proposition it should be asked to con tinue for one year to light the streets at the existing price of $60 per lamp.Ald.Laviolette objected that the am- MAYOR PAYETTE, who will vegotiate with the Power Company for & settlement of the lighting question, endment was out of order, on the ground that it was quite difterent from the first amendment moved on Monday by Ald.Martin, who could not propose à second amendment before a decision had been arrived at on the first.The Mayor ruled that consideration of the question should be continued, as from the position in which it was left on Monday, namely, with Ald.Martin's amendment standing as proposing $65 per lamp for five ycars.With regard to the added proposition that, in the event of the offer being refused, the company should be asked to \"continue lighting the streets for 12 months at $60 per lamp, this was put in as a sub-amendment in the name of Ald.Gadbois, who said that either $60 or $95 per annum per are lamp was too high a price to pay.Ald.Gallery reminded the Council that it had already offered $60 per lamp, \"but the company had refused to accept it.Therefore it would be a further waste of time to merely repeat that offer.} MITS AN INJUSTICE.t Ald.Gadbois-\u2014I know the offer will be refused, and I add this subamendment so that the existing conditions may be continued for twelve months while the lighting problem is settled.I say that within a very short time the city will be in a position to light its streets at less than $50 per lamp very much better than they are lighted to-day.Why, any individual can zo to the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company and enter into a contract with it for only one arc lamp at a cost of R75 per year.In this circumstance, is it reasonable, is it just, that we should bind ourselves to pay for ten vears $75 each for wix- teen hundred lamps.In other words, why should we: have to pay retail prices on a wholesale order.It would be a shame to enter into such a contract, and I for one will vote against it.Ald.Carter\u2014We are not going to pay the price proposéd.Ald.Lavallée submitted that the amendment did not go far enough, inasmuch as it referred only to are lamps, and left the recommendation regarding the incandescent lights unchanged.I'he prices proposed under all headings were too high.ATTEMPT TO \u2018HOLD UP\u2019 CITY.' Ald.Carter characterized the attitude of the Light.JTeat & Power Company as attemnting to \u2018hold up\u2019 the city, and therefore he was prepared to propose: \u201cThat in the event of the company refusing to accept the offer of the city of $50 per lamp for ten vears, notice be given to the company to undertake the lig}ting of the streets by gas lamps at the expiration of the present contract on contract be $60 per lamp, and that in Dec.31 next.\u2019 :lamp would amount to $25,000 a year, \u2018I understand the company may be compelled to do this, continued Ald.Carter, \u2018and 3f it is that the company is attempting a bluff with the city, the council can do a little bluthing on its own side, and with justification.If the com- j'uny is called upon to reimstall the ola gas lamps, 1 am sure it will cost it more than the costs of lighting the streets for cne year under the present system.\u2018Lo do as I propose under the given cireum- stances wouid be a fair procedure.\u2019 Ald.Giroux asked Ald.Yates if he had any reason (to believe the company would accept the proposed offer vi $75 per amp?\u2018I do not know,\u2019 replied Ald.Yates.\u2018It is true that 1 asked the Yirc and Light Committee to delay proceedings at -one i meeting in order that I migh.have .n cpportunity of consulting Mr.Walbank on the question, but I cannot take upon myself the responsibility of saying that the comnany will or will not accept the : offer as now proposed under my committee\u2019s report.I know nothing whatever: about that, but I have proposed this ot- fer because I think it gives the city an opportunity to obtain new lamps in re- | turn for.a fair contract, and believing it | is a happy solution of the problem.The proposed contract contains a condition that the most approved type of street | À lamp shall be introduced.NEW CONTRACT COSTS $35,000 A YEAR.In reply to Ald.Ward, Ald.Yates said the difference between 560 and 875 per Ald.Ward\u2014And how much do we pay to the Power Company altogether ?- Ald.Yates\u2014We pay $107.840 for èlec- tric lights per annum.: Ald.Carter\u2014Does that include St.Henri and Ste.Cunegonde ?Ald.Yates\u2014No.we paid last year $15,- 024 for the lighting of those two wards.Ald.L.A.Lapointe\u2014What does that show?; Ald.Ward\u2014It shows the enormity of the amount paid to this company for a commodity which we could furnish ourselves at much less cost.Ald.Giroux said he was apposed to all the proposals before the council at pres: ent on the ground that this matter could not be gettled by dealing with street lighting alone.Any proposed settlement ought also to include revised terms for the supply of electric light and power to the citizens, Ald.Proulx endorsed the views of Ald.Giroux.and Ald.Roy spoke in favor of a municipal lighting plant, with power generated from the burning of the city\u2019s garbage.Ald.Ward discountenanced all proposals under discussion, and advocated the establishment of a municipal lighting plant.In further discussion he repeated the arguments he submitted on this question on Monday afternoon last, ALD.L.A.LAPOINTE, whe proposed that negotiations with the Power Company be resumed.Ald.Gadbois\u2019s sub-amendment proposing a continuation of the present lamp charges for twelve months, in the event of a refusal of the offer of $60 per lamp, was defeated by thirty-one votes to those of Aldermen M.Martin, Gallery and Gadbois.STREETS MAY BE LIGHTED BY GAS.Alderman Carter then submitted in sub-amendment the motion outlined in his speech above.Ald.Prud'homme seconded.jj | der\u201d the company much as it was of such a character as would require notice.\u2018You must remember,\u201d he continued, \u2018that you \u2018\u201cor- to put up lampposts.Do you know what that means?It means that the city will have to pay for them.\u2019 Ald.Prud\u2019homme\u2014The contract provides that the company shall pay the costs, Alderman L.A.Lapointe said that contention was wrong.\u2018Even if it is,\u201d interposed Alderman Carter, \u2018I am ready to vote for the expense rather than be held up by the company as they are trying to do.It is only by drastic measures that we shall get what is fair and reasonable, \u2018and if these measures cost us something, the city will not be the only losers in the matter.Alderman Lavallee said the necessary lampposts, three thousand in number, would cost the city $36.000.He thought the retaliating \u2018hold-up\u2019 as proposed by Alderman Carter, was not practicable.Alderman Ward said it would not cost such an extraordinary sum as Ald.Lavallée had calculted.However, If the measure cost $50,000, it would be worth while trying, for it would certainly bring the company to terms.He would vote for the proposition.Alderman L.A.lapointe remarked that the adoption of Alderman Carters proposal would not only mean the $36, 000 expenditure on lamp-posts as mentioned by Aklerman Lavallée, but there was this fact to be taken into consideration in addition: The gas contract ended in May, 1910, and they did not know what the company might not charge for gas after that date.Alderman C'arter\u2019s sub-amendment received the unlucky number of thirteen votes, and was defeated by twenty-one, the division being as follows : For the sub-amendment :\u2014 Aldermen Turner, Bumbray, Gallery, O'Connell, Gadbois, Robinson, Ward, Roy, Mount, ALD.YATES, : , who will negotiate with the Power Com- pauy for a settlement of the lighting question.Fraser, Carter, Prudhomme and Mec- Kenna, (13).Against :\u2014Aldermen L.A.Lapointe, Lariviere, Yates, Proulx, M.Martin, Dagenais, Robillard, Lesperance, Lavallée, N.Lapointe, Leclaire, Giroux, Couture, Laviolette, J.B.A.Martin, Nault, Seguin, Mprin, Major, David, and Lamoureux, (21).TO NEGOTIATE WITH COMPANY.Alderman IL.A.Lapointe then submitted his proposition to negotiate with the Power Company with a view to settling the whole question of gas and electricity.The terms of his proposal are as follows :\u2014 \u2018Whereas the contract for the supply of gas will expire on May 1, 1910; whereas it is in the interests of the city to make, one agreement between the city and the company, which would include the supply of gas and electricity to the city and citizens, be it resolved that the company be requested to extend to May 1, 1910, the contract now existing between the company and the city for the supply of electricity on the same conditions, or on such conditions as may be deemed advantageous by the City Council, and that the mayor and the chairman of the Fire and Light Committee be re- I quested to confer with the company in this connection with a view to making the best possible arrangements on the lines of this resolution, and to report to the Council as soon as possible, and in the meantime the report of the Fire and Light Committee now before the Council shall remain on the table.\u2019 Ald.Proulx seconded the proposition.Ald.Laviolette, while protesting against the motion now and supporting the adoption of the committee's offer.of $75 per lamp, voted with Ald.L.A.Lapointe when the question was carried to a division.Ald.Ward maintained that the city wag not in a position to go and plead with the Power Company, and he very decidedly cpposed the proposition.ALD.FRASER CALLS TOR ARBITRATION.Ald.Fraser remarked that he must say a few words on this important question which had been before the Council for \u2018so long without any result.And they would have it before them for a considerable while longer if they did not face the problem in a businesslike way.The citizens wanted the question settled in a practical manner, and with a view of reaching that end\u2014for it did not seem to be within the power of the Fire and Light Committee to settle it\u2014he begged leave to make the following amendment Alderman L.A.Lapointe argued that the proposiiton was out of order, inas- to the committee\u2019s report now under consideration: \u2014 \u2018That the lighting question be referred to arbitration by three experts, one to be appointed by the mayor, the second by the Light, Heat & Power Company.and the third jointly by the Council of the Board of Trade and the Chambre de Commerce.\u2019 Ald.Fraser added that the question ought to be settled now and not shelved for another period.It seemed to him that Ald.Lapointe\u2019s motion would hang the question up until goodness knew when, Ald.Prud'homme seconded Ald.Fraser's proposition.The mayor said the Council would first have to decide on Ald.Lapointe\u2019s amendment.If that were defeated then Ald.Fraser's proposal could be put to the vote.: THE MAYOR'S POSITION.The Mayor said he questioned the istrate to go to the Light, Heat and Power Company to beg for concesivns of anv kind.He was opposed to Vaat and would rather not be named ae onc of the delegates.The city had tried to do what it could to arrive at a settlement of this very vexed question.but up to the present time \u2018hey had rt succeeded, and in regard to the lates: really got value for the time thia- ha a reiteration of what had been said before, but that afternoon several new phases had been introduced, which gave an added interest to the debate and might lead to some good result.In regard to the gas question, the settlement of that must inevitably rest with the present company, for no capitalists were likely to come and invest in a new gas plant.In regard to electricity.nt made to introduce it, and while he him: self had not been very ccnfident those efforts would be successful, he had hoped for the best.For the present the city was in the position it was two years ago, though the conditions were more acute in the light of the near» ever, if a new contract were not eçn- ed by the first of January next, he did put the city in darkness merely because there war a difference regarding he price.If they did that, he was svre the citizens would rise up and pu: the company in its place.He war quite solution to the difficulty and though | he did not agree with the choice of the Mayor, still, if the council lected him.he was willing to act with Ald.Yat-s and they would do all in their power to find a means of settlement.Ald.L.A.Lapointe\u2014I do not ask that your worship ~hould solicit favors from the company.All that 1 propose is that you should go to them and see on what terms the present contract can be prolonged until May 1.1910.so that as from that date a new and single contract can be made for the «npply of gas and electric light and power.HOW ALDERMEN WERE DIVIDED.wisdom of the choice of the first mag discussions he did not feel they had , ç , i The ce 2 1 been spent on the question.The «! : Kergow, cussions had been in the main mercly | was not impossible that there should be competition;
