augmented sum has been given ig that of building Inspection.Last vear $10,820 was applied here.This vear the sum sot aside is $24,690.It is ; not hard to see that this means an ; increase in the number of inspectors.The Controllers evidently elzree with those who have urged that the examination now given public and private buildings is not sufficient to safeguard the public.\u2018 \u2019 4 APPROPRIATION FOR | INSPECTION OF BUILDINGS The salary of Mr.Barlow, city surveyor, is, as stated yesterday, recommended to be decreased from $5,000 to 34,000 a year.The stipends of Mr.S.Howard and Mr.Lesage are each increased $500.But there are only a few other changes.It is understood, though, that there will be enough to cause criticism.The aldermen are not entirely pleased.Ald.L.A¢ Lapointe, head of the o Id finance mittee, had a long conference with the controllers on the subject of the-budget.What changes he suggested to them he would not make known a > The document fills between forty and fifty typewritten pages, but the gist of it may be given as follows: Reserve fund, five percent, 1910, $299,189;

marked Ald.pointe, \u2018if Mr.Robb really did make these remarks, or ify he was misquoted.\u2019 Mr.Robb did noilfé waste any time in answering Ald.Lapointe and the other protesting aldermen, \u2018If, Mr, Mayor and gcntlemen,\u2019 he said, \u2018the reporters come to my room the morning after the report recommending an increase in the tax rate was sent back, I think it more than likely that I said I Was disap- ininted.I felt it too bad that the aldermen shouid denv to themselves the right to increase the funds at their lisposal, for this to me seems mosl necessary.As regards making any invidious distinctions, for in referring Tn the commissioners as it is reported 1 did, I would have been making in- vidiois distinctions, certainly I would not have allowed myself to do that.I May say I was angry when I received «letter from Ald.Lapointe telling me Asd Ald.Gauvin.7 I would have to appear before the rouncil and state my position.' I was zal ih angry that he should think me cap- ar t's able of such a thing) fir Ald.Lapointe replied to this, stating auphin that he did not like to receive from County Mr.Robb a letter saying: \u2018I fail to een 1 \u201cre what right you have personally to iscopal infuire into my business.\u2019 ity-fiva irre Ald.Boyd asked Ald.Lapointe mo 502 ty second a motion asking that Mr.| miehi- RAbd's explanation be engrossed on ry d- the minutes, with a statement of hE tonneil's approval added.JR E This Ald, Lapointe thought against .Proper procedure.\u2018While enjoying For HY sume light reading, which to Ald.La- od ; E Pointe means perusing the city charter d pa } \u201cr various legal books, he had encoun- eel tre some paragraphs recommending day.En fiat sueh action be not adopted.Lu Therefore he would not do as Ald.\u2014 Dur Frid asked, but willingly moved: ster That Council is satisfied with the nly of explanation of Mr.Robb and that eo yr* £u d'explanation be accepted.\u2019 By this time the habit of criticising DEP tie department heads had grown, and -.wl ?ling was taken at Mr.Janin, who Tone \u201c18 reported in one of the papers as sf, l faving that aldermen were always at 5 qi À Fun té try and get information and put ts get his opinions as to the advisa- Plt of the city purchasing the Slontreul Water and Power Company.Ce remark seemed innocent enough, E.\"tas printed it implied that some of ts» aldermen were exceedingly anx- 5 to have the expropriation effect- \u201cI.This displeased Aldermen and Controllers alike, and all agreed that emplovees of the city must he re guarded in talking with the Newspaper men.After the quéstions relative to the \u2018treet railway were asked, Ald.Drum- end.wanted tn wa if the M, S.Was going to lines along \u201c sson street to \u201crth avenue.Ad Judge want- knew if the Fag ' been observed by the company.; All these*questions will be answered at the next meeting of Council, called for general business.PLANS TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT.As usual, Ald.Tetreau had a motion aiming to help the workingman.He asked that plans for work in St.Jean Baptiste\u2019s parish, St.Denis Ward, be .prepared at once, so that people out of work may be given employment.Nothing was done with this for the time.' Ald.Dubeau\u2019s recommendation that taximeters be demanded on all cabs was referred to the Committee on \u2018 Tle gislation, and the report recoms- mending the appointment of Mr.Thos.C.Fleming to the Board of Assessors was referred to a special committee.FEDERATION AND ANNEXATION.A proposal which may prove of great importance was made by Ald.Dan- durand.He felt that the term federation ha@ become confused with annexation, and that therefore- outlying districts have been Toth\u201d to consider this move.8ix or seven places, Ald.Dandurand stated, are willing to federate with the city.He thought ne- \u2018gotiations \u2018to this end should be reopened.With this all present agreed.NEW BREAD BY-LAW.Before adjourning, the bread bylaw was discussed.Some debate took place upon this, but it was finally passed as follows: Sec.1.\u2014 Section 1 of said by-law No.299, adopted by the Council on the 3rd June, 1903, is repealed and the following substituted therefor: Sec 1.\u2014All bread sold, or manufae- tured for sale, in the city of Montreal, shall be made of good and wholesome flour and baked either in loaves of 4 1bs., or in loaves of 2 lbs., or in loaves of 1 1-2 1bs.,, or in loaves of 1 Ib.Sec.la.\u2014It shall bear a label not less than 1 1-2 square inches, indicating its exact weight and its quality, as well as the name of the baker thereof or of the person for whom it was baked: Sec.1b.\u2014 The figure indicating its weight shall measure 3-4 of a square inch, and shall be printed in large and legible type.: Sec.1c\u2014It shall, however, be lawful to sell or to manufacture for sale, in the city of Montreal, loaves of bread not weighing more than 12 ounces, which shall not require any label.: Sec.1d.\u2014It shall also be lawful to sell, or to manufacture for sale in the city of Montreal, loaves of bread the statutory weight of which fixed in the above section 1, shall not be exceeded after baking, by more than 2 ounces.Sec le.\u2014But it is forbidden to sell, or to manufacture for sale, in the city of Montreal, any loaves of bread the statutory weight of which as fixed in the above section 1, after baking, shall be exceeded by more than 2 ounces.Sec.1f.\u2014This by-law shall form part of by-law No.299 as regards the penal clause and to all other intents and purposes.Sec.1g.\u2014The title of by-law No.299 is amended by adding therein, after the word \u2018manufacture, the word \u2018weight.\u2019 FINAL ELECTION RETURNS \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Independent Nationalist and a Redmond Candidate are Re-elected.nn London,

Every Minute and a Half THE SAME ON ST.DENIS.Company Does Better Than Charter Demands \u2014 Five-minute Service Mentioned in It.On account of the complaints about the poor service given by the Street Raïlway Company on the Bleury and St.Denis lines, Mr.Barlow, city surveyor, has ihad his inspectors examine these carefully.As a result of the reports which they have brought in he states he has been forced to come to the conclusion that the best service in the city is given om the Bleury street line.Cars pass along It every minute and -a half, yet despite this all are crowded.Eo On the St.Denis line, too a minute and a half service 8.given going north, from 7 to.-10 in the: morning, from moon until : two o'clock in the afternoon, and from 4 to 7 in the evening.As on Bleury street all the cars are crowded.Aocording to the chamter the company agrees to give a five minute service on all lines.If they did not do better than that here the congested conditions which would result may be imagined.Mr.Barlow has written the management of the Momtreal Street Railway asking that a five-minute service be given on Notre Dame street between Gosford and Delorimier avenue.Mr.McDonald, manager of the company, replied by \u2019phone this morning, taiîtimng that the proposal will be studied, This is the service which onions.Race char.bis digoont GUTimnEg.ge.Cer, LUS resson.being: Hoste, dear

Greenshields has laid it down that the city cannot lend its property for private use at a hire rate and then assess it and charge a property \u2018tax from the lessee.The issue was raised by Mr.Augustt Dionne, the proprietor of a store\u2019 at the north east corner of St.Catherine and Drummond streets.In 1896 Mr.Dionne obtained from the city of Montreal the permission to use its property under the sidewalk for purposes of glving light to his cellars, at a dharge of 25 cents per foot of space, used.He took advantage of the permission and made excavations which cost 34,0000 Then on September 18th, and November 30, 1908, the city made two assessments, valuing tie pro- penty used in the excavations, at $12,~ 798, on St.Catherine street, and $14,- 428 on Drummond street, and then levied an annual property tax at 2 1-2 percent, amounting to $685.70 per an- num.Mr.Dionne refused to pay the tax, whereupon the city threatened a seizure of the property.At this point Mr.Dionne\u2019s lawyers entered am action for the annulment of the assessment and the threat of seizure, which Mr.Justice Greenshields, on the ground that the city being owner of the property the assessment and the levy were fllegal, has maintained.\u2014memepamemannnntenmns SEVERED HIS FOOT A\u2014\u2014\u2014 Passenger Fell Between Cars of Moving Train, Trying to pass from one car to ancther

Irishman Badly Hurt in Fight Hurt His Assailants More.Ireland's prowess on the fidld was again shown at the expense of Italy last night, when one Irishman mal treated three Italians in a fight.It appears that the Irishman, while passing St.David's lane on St.James street, was accosted by one of the Italians, and resented it.When the police heard about the fight, two constables were sent out, and they met the Irishman coming from the scene of the combat.He \u2018was itn bad shape, having a gash in the bark of his head, his right ear split and numerous bruises.Patrick Shields, the Irishman, said he was lookinz for the volice station, as there wera three dead Italians in a lane, and tiey should be taken to the morgue.But two had come to life and had taken leave when the | constables

headway has yet been made by the Militia Council in the consideration of the plans for the mobilization of the seven hundred men who will represent the Canadian military forces at the corc- nation of King George.The object will be to have it include a number of picked men from every military unit in the Dominion.Each corps will be asked to select its representatives, and as was the case when the contingent was sent to the coronation of King Edward, there will be keen competition for the places of honor.The question of who will command the contingent will also engage the attention of the Militia Council at an early date.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014( - WINTER CARNIVAL CASE Well Known City Men Defendants in Suit by Firework Company.Chief Justice Tait opened the hearing

on the Postal Telegraph and the Commers clal Cable.We shall not enter into any combination, neither shall we sell out.We shall continue to compete and glve the fastest service.As 1 stated to the legislative committee in New York last winter, the Postal Telegraph Company will be the last competitor in land telegraphy.I would now add that the Commercial Cable Company will be the last competitor in ocean cabling, When that competition ceases, there will onlv be a choice between monopoly and government ownership.\u2019 CLOSED FOR .NINETY DAYS Order Has Been Issued to Many Branches ot

where the Farmers\u2019 Bank had branches, fails to indicate anything in the nature of a panic among the depositors.Quite a large amount of stock was sold in the vicinity of Athens.| These people, mostly farmers, are anxious.The local offices have all been instructed to close for ninety days, but have no Information as to the cause of the suspension.The wonder of the situation is the philosophical manner In which the depositors and creditors have received the news of the bank suspending business.LITTLE CHANGE IN STATEMENT.Ottawa, Dec.20.\u2014The November statement of the Farmers\u2019 Bank, the suspension of which is announced from Toronto to-day, shows very little variation from the statement of the previous month.\u2018There are slight differences in a few items, but nothing which would have created suspicion in the minds of the officials who compiled the monthly returns.The impression at the department is that the trouble was precipitated by the recent court proceedings.: \"The principal changes compared with October are: A decrease of $173,- 381 in notice deposits; an increase of $151,567 in liabilities not included under special heads; a decrease of 554,040 in total liabilities; an increase of $105,000 in railway and other debentures held, and a decrease of $48,574 in the total assets.(See also Page 12.)

Chamber.-Madrid, Dec.20\u2014There was another stormy scene in the Chamber yesterday, resulting from an attempt to discuss the questions arising out of the conduct of Leroux, the Socialist deputy from Barcelona.The discussion was proceeding in an orderly manner when Emiliano Iglesias, Clerical, injected bitterness by attacking the Catalanists supporting the demands for eutonomy for Catalonia.He accused them of having instituted.a campaign of calumny in order to benefit a certain clique.Senor Miro interrupted him, saying that a child, compared with Senor Iglesias, was a - man, To this Iglesias replied \u2018Goodby, you miserablé wretch.\u201d Miro, although deeply angered by the contemptuous remark, replied in a formally polite manner, but using words that excited the ire of his opponent,\u201d saying that he (Igesias) should only use the language he had employed in speaking of the betrayers of Ferrer.Iglesias responded amgrily and many epithets were bandlied about.An indescribable scene ensued, the Catalanists shouting and -\u201cbrandishing thelr canes: Ngo declared.that he would slan Iglesisas\u2019 face, but when he attempted to do .it, \u2018friends interfered and prevented the assault.In the course of the disgraceful proceedings, Inglesias made a wad of one of Leroux\u2019s papers and threw it at Miro, striking him on the breast.Later he regained possession of the paper and again threw it at Miro.Order was finally obtained through the frantic efforts of the police.Subsequently Miro and Iglesias elected seconds, to represent them in arranging a duel, but friends intervened, calmer «counsels prevailed, and the duel was called oft.Tt is stated that Leroux, who is making a struggle to save his political life, had schemed to bring -about the trouble.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 STOREKEEPER ASSIGNS.FT, X.Gagnon, keeper of a fancy store at 871 SL.Catherine street East, has assigned for the benefit

Cars\u2014U.S.Workmen Turned Back.Winnipeg, Dec.20.\u2014Strike disorders resembling the siege of the street railway strike of.four.years ago last summer \u2018broke out last evening.A string of twelve of the largest \u2018cars was sent out about six o'clock - to Weston to bring the Canadian Pacific Railway employees- to the city.There are four hundred men employed at the shops and complaints were made to the company tnat no effort had been made to bring this large class of machinists to tneir homes, so the company made an extra endeavor to show their.capability.When the cars arrived at the shops sub-station they waitéd \u201cpatiently ror passengers, but all the employees passed them, walk- mg home.Aiter a few minutes\u2019 wait the street car crews decided that a trap.had been get for tnem and made up their minds to start back empty.All went well for -haif an hour, whén the first car ran bump umto a big obstruction of ties chained to the rails, and the second car went off the track ini some mysterious way.While the crews were holding a counsel of war in the dark, ih\u2019'the midst ot a blinding snowstorm, the vicinity became black with men.The crews had barely \u2018| time to escape to the cars and lide under the seats when a fusilade of \u2018\u2019PFhis.bombardment kept up until every.pane of glass was broken and the cars in other ways split and renueréd useless for service.STUDENTS KEEP ALL THI FARES, Then the rioters retired and the men crawled out from under the seats, bruised and battered.A hurry call was sent for the police and detachments soon arrived, but too late to be of any service, except to convey several of the crew to the hospital to have bruises attended to and cuts sewed up.= Now there are fully 250 imported workmen in the city, and the com- Pany promises a aomplete service today, but as the Trades and Labor Council issued a statement yesterday favorable ta thei:strikers, .there \u2018is every indication that the unions are back of the men, .and that only the military can.bring «this strike to: an end.The company, if it attempts to run cars after dark outside the main street lines, is \u2018bound to meet .With opposition, and as the days go by the sympathizers wilk-likely grow bolder.Sixty imported workmen who arrived from Torenio were put.to work running cars.\u2018The company claims they are experienced motormen, and, with the help of the students, the company gave -a~ fairly good service yesterday.Shine Manalger Phillips states that he has now .500 applications.from men anx- ijous \u2018to obtain -#egular employment.He states that, psulfast.as the men can be trained ¥u\u2014thHe work they will take the places Of the volunteer students.Toi E vy they get $5 a day and, in addition, are allowed \u2018to keep all fares -that they can collect.Some: of the boys have made $20: to $30 a day.It looks as if the backbone of the strike was broken.MILITIA KEPT IN READINESS.Officers of the militia are under orders to be in readiness to call : their men together immediately in the event of the police force requiring assistance to preserve law and order.The authorities are determined to suppress with a firm hand any unlawful conduct.© There were more.disorders in Logan avenue .last night, when attempts were made to derail cars by putting cordwood sticks and heavy pieces of iron on the tracks.A few car windows were broken.on the outlying lines.For the same cause the cars on the belt line were withdrawn at eight o'clock.Manager Phillips states that the company wilt cut off the service on any line at the slightest sign 1 of rioting.Several gangs .of men, wearing in their hats, \u2018We walk for a square \u2018cards, congregated on Main street between James and Logan avenues last night.They shouted and hooted at several cars, but when they became too menacing were speedily dispersed by the police.\u2018 UNITED STATES WORKMEN ATTEMPT TO ENTER.More than 400 imported workmen, bound from Chicago to Winnipeg, discouraged from continuing their journey at the boundary line last \u2018night by Canadian immigration officers, who warned the leaders that tha men would not be allowed to cross the.border because of the provisions of the (Canadian Contract Labor Law.In consequence there was a general exodus of strike-breakers in small groups southward on late trains.Chicago labor officials learned of the coup and notified the Canadian immigration authorities here.These officers informed the leaders of the men that they could not enter Canadian territory on accouni of the Dominion jaw against contract labor.Believing that some means could be found to evade this provision, the leaders had their men remain all night in St.Paul, but no loophole being found, the attempt was abandoned.Trains bound for the south carried most ot the men out of the border towns last night.Five cars, containing forty imported workmen each, gathered up from Chicago to Montreal, are due in Winnipeg in the next twenty-four hours.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ORDINATION AT ST.GEORGE'S.The Bishop of Montreal will hold ordination for the priesthood at St.George's Church.to-morrow

a carriage without horses.The first aeroplane was a mechanical bird.These illugtrations were adduced to show main\u2019s method of progress in a lecture given last night \u2018to the Alliance Francaise.- The subject of the lecture was \u2018Prehistoric Gaul and its Monuments,\u2019 and the lecturer was Mr.Gustave Fougres, formerly of the Ecole Francaise at Athens, now professor of the Sorbonne, Paris University, and Knight of the Legion of Honor.The lecturer showed that primitive man and modern man too does not ordinarily sit down and think out some entirely new thing, the articles that he.requires are in the first instance fôre- ed on him by sheer necessity, which: is: then he improves them by imitating them in finer.the mother of invention; and more durable substance and developments take place automatically.This is the story of those old ages which belong to the domain of geology rather than history.And \u2018there France 1s a certain solidarity between this distant past and the present day.\u2019 France, sald the lecturer, had laid bare some of the most interesting and important objects to the scientist, enabling him to follow the evolution of the human race in itg earliest stages.Even the savages of the earliest times had the instinct of progress, they endeavored to improve their condition.Their memorials were left in their articles of daily use.In these days men lived in caverns beside the river basins in which France is so rich.The prehistoric epoch was divided into several periods., There was the most ancient, when man had no metals, and used stone and flint, silex, for his implements.Stone was used to make rough knives.This ig the old stone or Paleolithic period, the period of sharpened stone.No precise date can be assigned to it, but it might go back to the twentieth century before Christ.It was divided into several sub-divisions, according to the character of the implements used, and their stage of perfection.As it went on conditions of climate were modified, and men came down from the hills into the plains and lived on islands in the middle and on the banks of lakes.It is therefore called the Lacustral period.Then the Paleolithic gives place to the New Stone or Neolithic period (of polished stone, which is much more recent, being dated at 3500 B.C.It gives place in turn to the Bronze and Iron ages.The lecturer showed a number of most clear and excellent slides, illustrating the implements used in the stone ages, and the artistic efforts of men in the form wf engravings on bank and stone, and sculptured forms of animals.He had also some pictures of those great stone monuments which abound in Brittany, and are of the nature of the English Stonehenge.They belonged, he sald, to a period, called specially \u2018after them, the Great Stone, or Megalithic period, and a date had been ascribed between 1500 and 1200 B.C.Greek and Egyptian mythology concerning the Fields of Elysium supported the idea that they were a kind of mausoleum, or entrance for the dead into the world beyond.The lecturer concluded by emphasizing the magnitude of the impulse given to civilization by the union of Roman and Gaelic culture in a conquest honorable both to \u2018victors and van- quisihed.OBITUARY.MR.PATRICK FARRELL.Liverpool, N.S, Dec.19.\u2014Patrick Farrell was stricken down while attending mass at St.George's Church.on

the National Council sanchiioned the calling of an annual provincial conference, at which the Councils in a province might meet and confer on matters ot interest and profit, and the second of these conferences has recently been held in British Co- Jumbia.In consequence of the isolation regrowth of Council work, the advisability of having a little more machinery, in the far distant provinces anyway, seems now to be a necessity, and as the National Council is ever willing to try and meet \u2018the requirements of those whose representations are based upon a genuine knowledge of conditions, this year provision was mada for such machinery and the Councils in any province given permission to appoint an advisory committee to as- sist and co-operate with the provincial vice-presiden: in furthering the work of the councils in her province.This was a progressive move on the part of the National Council, and will, if carried into effeot by the councils in the various provinces, it is believed, councils, as well as the strengthening of those already formed, because these are part of the duties of the provincial vice-presidents of the National Council, and as many f these officers are almost completely removed from their controlling body and have been given certain impontant duties to perform, involving the expenditure of money, and are held responsible for the fulfilment of those duties, and yet have, up to the present, neither been provided with funds nor allowed the privilege of a committee with whom to confer, the recent legislation on the part of the National Council, which in part provides for both, ought to inaugurate a new era in the development of council work in the Dominion, SASHES, BELTS, AND BUCKLES.Much attention this season is paid to the belt of the waist\u2014just where .t shall be placed, whether it shall be narrow or Wide and whether there shall be a bow with sash ends or merely the bow at the back.Tie Empire style is not new, but there are many smant gowns with the decidedly high- waisted effect, and the belt on the majority of the gowns is so fashioned or trimmed that it is quite high.A narrow band of black velvet or satin is a favorite trimming above the vet, while just in front a knot of the same black is thrust through the fancy buckle that is such a marked feature in the newest fashions.As to bows and sashes, it may be conceded that the long ends break the too severe lines that the present fashion gives at the back.Of course, care must be taken that the bow is we.comingly placed.At present it is fashionable to have it quite above the ferred to and in order to faocilitaiie the - result in the formation of many new | / have a special jauntiness and as the proverbial feather.the rich band of gold lace being veiled with pale yellow tulle.arranged in loops gives substance to t he soft, rolling-brim, and a dashing yellow paradise feather forms the trimming.TURBAN OF SATIN AND GOLD.Large picture hats are closely rivalled by small ,turbanlike models, which becomingness, This dainty model is as light It is made from satin, the top of the crown above Gold cord - 60 \u201c 58 es 87 58 « 70 £4 gowns, butante dancing frocks, esque.They are placed with the bows high up, the ends falling within half a yard of the hem of the skirt.a curious fact that wearing sashes never stays in favon long, but for the moment is popular.Tha style of the long sash, ends knotted together low down on the skirt and apparently holding back all the ful- transforms are the vet bows lined with white satin and the plain black velvet gown that is too severe into something more attractive, and the clever dressmaker knows well how to bring the ribbon around the figure ahove the belt and then finish it at the back with \u2018the flat bows and ends.The bows and ends of the evening particularly those on the de- pictur- It is fashion of waist line.the moment, at all events, black fashionable.fon over white, Montreal A -good quality of ribbon, satin or velvet must be used, and fon EY With black lace or chit- and the combination is a most popular one, these bows are very popular for the elaborate luncheon or dinner gown.The black vel- ness, is to be seen on some of and cloth.for sash ends.dress this winter every conceivable material.tha | winter's new models in satin, velvet Fringe, as can readily be understood, makes an attractive finish Buckles play an important part in| and are made of a and gold, steel jet are, as) a always, in favor, but velvet, satin and silk covered buckles belt, but they appear also on skirts, holding the folds together the \u2018back and also in front.The average small child does care for mechanical toys it is \"discarded.work tramcars Neither are and engines Wien and women) to the gift at once, with which they can play.are also to be hoticed.Not only are these buckles used as a finish to the the BUYING GIFTS FOR CHILDREN.not alone;

the collector of stamps or postcards is usually pleased with a fresh album or a file, and so on.If you can gratify some desire, your present is sure to be appreciated; but it is only by bringing sympathy, as well as money, to the task of shopping that you can hope to attain success.THE QUEEN OF BELGIUM.The Queen of the Belgians has been sufferiniz from an attack of typhoid fever, which, it is surmised, she contracted in homes of some of her ailing subjects upon whom she has attended.Queen Elizabeth, like her husband, says \u2018M.A.P,\u2019 is a fully qualified doctor of medicine: and her labors as Bm sick nurse in the Belgian capital have endeared her to rich and poor alike.One of her many good works before King Albert's accession was the founding of the Albert Elizabeth Dispensary for the consumptives of Brussels.She was often in daily attendance at her dispensary, giving personal attention to the patients; tindeed, her goodness of heart and philanthropic disposition have earn- éd for her the title of the \u2018People\u2019s Queen,\u2019 ] Another characteristic of Her Majesty is her taste in dress; it is said that she is one of the best gowned \u2018royalties\u2019 in Europe.She has even established in Brussels a school for millinery, where young women in impecunious circumstances can become accomplished modistes.She is - a regular visitor to the school, and Jzives hints and suggestions to the pupils herself.This popular Queen is not tall, but finely proportioned and exceedingly handsome, with vivacious features slightly Semitic in cast, while her head is crowned with a profusion of dark, fluffy hair.Her husband, King Albert, is tallest King in Europe.the rarer AT MACDONALD COLLEGE.The annual Christmas exhibition was held at Macdonald College yesterday afternoon, when specimens of the work done by the students during the year were on exhibit.The cookery, laundry, millinery and manual training classes were all represented in the exhibits, Which were highlv praised by the large number of visitors Who passed through the rooms «during the evening.The different instructors were present and explained the work of the various classes to the visitors, ha exhibition was one of the most successful vet held by the college.Pleasing Gifts There\u2019s always something suitable and appropriate in silver.In buying, look for the trade mark 1 [BAT ROGERS BROS.The name covers a line ot oy knives, forks, spoons, etc.NR Nie for beauty and wear.ANN \"Silver Plate that Wears\"\" MEN \\\\Best tea sets, dishes, waiters, A: efc., are stamped JMERIDEN BRITA CO.Ÿ BOLD BY LEADING DRALERS 2 Fa UWA Don\u2019t let this Christmas go by without getting a Victor or Berliner Gram- o-phone\u2014or Victrola.Take your choice\u2014a Gram-o-phone for $15.up, a Victrola for $100.to $300.Why not come in to-day and hear these instruments\u2014no obligation tobuy.If vou want to buy, we'll arrange terms to suit.BERLINER GRAM-O-PHONE COMPANY, X.imited ~ 415 ST.CATHERINE STREET WEST, Near Mansfield 488 ST.CATHERINE STREET EAST, Near St.Andre * - ST 7 MEN, ELE ;

Charge of Gross Frauds in Martifique Elections BCauses Excitement Fort De France, Martinique, Dec.20.\u2014Chanrges of gross frauds in connection with yesterday's elections in the several cantons are made.After the polls were closed the ballot boxes were brought into this city by government officials and placed under protection, as was thought for safe-keeping.However, during the night the office in which they had been locked up, was entered and the boxes rifled.There is great popular indignation.Deputy Lagroiselliere and his friends have Issued a call to arms, as it is alleged that the destruction of or tampering with the ballots will result in an election victory for the minority.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 tete ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS FILMS.At the eneral Phone Company

\u2018News\u2019 at the age of twenty-nine, holds his position with the grim energy and forcefulness that has carried him to it from the place of the boy of all work In its composing room.Hard-headed and rractical, he Ir nevertheless in love With Vivian and determinea to Win The girl herself remembers him with amusement and a little contrition as a friend and conquest of the previous summer, which ska had spent with a gir] friend, Electra Chalmers, when Archie Dean, Vivian's acknowledged \u2018chum\u2019, had\u2019 been also of the par y.Through the influence of Tom Evans Price had succeedud to his pre- carlous position on the \u2018News.\u2019 Evans, in practica\u2019 control of Carthage political affairs, had given aim this chance in order to crush a political opponent Bleeker, the head of the town stree rallway, the ne./ franchise of which Price energetically opposed.Nathan Everett, connected with Bleeker, notes Prices growing importance, and persuades Vivian to use her influence with the young editor.Dean hotly resents her treatment of Price, and also being handed over\u2019 by Vivian to Electa Cial- mers, who is visiting her.Electa tries vainly to warn Price, who is her cousin, against Vivian, although Vivian's ways perplex him, He has flatly refused to be bought off \"by Bleeker, and is troubled.at the revelation of Tom Evans's plans.but his refusal to join the reform movement against Evans, a move of personal animosity, forces Everett to come to terms with Evans, who promises to bring Price round.Dean has Instrue- tions, through Evans, to sell Price out, and Evans, temporizing with Price meanwhile, finds the young editor determined to carry on the fight and to run for alderman against Evans's nominee on the franchise question, .CHAPTER XIill.\u2014Continued.\u2018No, I cannot,\u2019 cried Evans, his eyes taking on their look, hard and cruel T have made men, John Price, in my day, and I have broken them.I set you up a few weeks ago, and now 1 will knock you down.I think you will admit I make no idle threats.\u2019 \u2018True enough,\u2019 confessed Price, \u2018and more's the pity, Thomas Evans; for I will give you the fight of your life, and before I drop I'll shake your power to its very foundations.I will not ignore what is good in you, but I will so expose the evil that all men shall know you for what you are\u2014one of the ablest, shrewdest, most kind-hearted and humane politicians that ever tainted the moral fibre of a community with insidious corruption.\u2019 \u2018And I will show you up for what you are,\u2019 roared Evans, losing his self- control, almost for the first time in his long and successful career, for the scorn of Price cut him to the _uick, \u2018as an ungrateful, impracticable crank, upon whom ail kindness is thrown away, all good-fellowship and friendship utterly wasted, whose vocabulary doesn\u2019t contain the word \u2018gratitude\u2019 or \u201cloyalty,\u201d but who would sacrifice any one and every one to the hobby of the hour.\u2019 The two men looked at each other in silence, each regretting that they had reached the parting of the ways, each secretly admiring the other, while outwardly spurning him, each aware that he was soon to cross swords with a skilful and resourceful adversary.\u2018 save you from your enemies, John Price, and God save me from my friends,\u201d said Evans at last, as he turned hig back upon the editor, and went forth to plot his ruin.\u2018If he had oniy been man enough to stand by me to the end of this fight, no one could have shaken his power, as long as he lived,\u2019 muttered Price, \u2018but I'm going to see it through to a finish single-handed; they may hurt me, may down me for a time.but it will prove the political and moral death of Thomas Evans, and he turned to pen an editorial exposing the newly formed alliance of the Carthage Electric Company with the Evang machine, whose fervid rhetoric stung Evans, when he read \u2018it that night, like à slap in the face.Wihen Vivian Everett entered the parlor about eleven o'clock that morning she saw a fresh-faced, dapper gentleman of suave smile and \u201cand demeanor waiting for rer father, who was expected soon to return from a directors\u2019 meeting at the Trust Company\".After explaining the delay she said: \u2018This is Mr.Evans, isn't it?I have \u2018often had you pointed out to me.Weren\u2018t you at Narragansett Pier last summer?\u2018 \u2018Yes, for a while, said Evans, admiring the beauty of the girl, and from sheer force of habit, wondering what she wanted of him; for people always wanted something from him, high and low, rich and poor, men and women.\u2018Father seems rather worried over this franchise question; how is it coming out?she ventured to ask, for she had an Intuitive feeling that the visit of this man to her home boded good to no one.\u2018Oh, all right, I think; the only opponent seriously to be feared is young Mr.Price, of the \u201cNews\u201d, and.though Evans was looking .at her keenly, he lacked the key to the problem and was, for once, off his guard Vivian was something of a politiclan herself, in her own kingdom, and was now gifted wfth a quickness of apprehension abnommally keen.\u2018You will dispose of him easlly enough, I presume,\u201d she said with well assumed carelessness.\u2018We do not look for much difficulty,\u2019 returned Evans with a pleasant smila, for this girl was fair to see; but in his look somewhere there was a coldness, a non-moral callousness that seemed to freeze something in her as she detected Its presence.\u2018Well, good luck to you, she said, with a light laugh, \"here comes papa,\u2019 and she hurried from the room a prey to indefinite fears and a dull foreboding of approaching evil.The men retired to her father\u2019s private study and were long bir contrived to take the EL réeipt with a hand that AT, ; tremble was a greater bly Mer still bmt she did both, and

outside, Salto Moritz would not have the faint- in the character of an innacent spy.There was a storm coming, and tha sun was almost down.Black masseg of elouds had gathered about the distant peaks; it was twilight already, and would be dark in twenty minutes.Phyllis tookea the stormy sky and shivered.ut realizing that darkness was after all her best friend lust then, she thrust the letter she had meant to post into the hand of Pedro, saying urgently: \u2018Drive back to the estancia as quickly as you ean.and give this to Mra.Maurice or to Mr.Maurice.\u2019 .\u2018An\u2019 ain\u2019t you

bridle rein in each hand, looking the picture of dismay.; \u2018I can\u2019t, I must go somewhere else,\u2019 Phyllis answersd, strangling back the sob that would come up in her throat, and then noticing the revolver which Pedro carried stuck in his belt, as did most of the hoarse and cattle men in that part of Argentina, she stretched out her hand with an imploring gesture.\u2018Pedro, will you lend me your revolver until to-morrow?I will give you a dollar for the use of it, and I will be always most grateful to Fou also.\u2019 The senorita is most welcome, and no dollar is required,\u2019 Pedro answered, freeing one hand from the reins |\u201d and presenting the revolver with a low bow.\u2018It is loaded, \u2018and \u2018the senorita will please to he careful not to turn it against herselsf\u2019 \u2018I will he very \u2018careful, and thank vou,\" Phyllis answered: then, clutching the weapon in her hand, she dived past the horses\u2019 heads and took her way along the dark road towards the small cottage where the Lysters lived.She was afraid, byt it was for poor.helpless, unconscious Jack that her fears were cancerned; of herself she did not even think at all.(To be eontinued.) \u201cBED-TIME STORIES \u201d SANTA CLAUS\u2019 DEPUTIES.(By Mary Woodridge.) Dolly Gray, who pulled the postman\u2019s cart in a certain prosperous neighborhood in certain big city.knew as well as e postman himself that there were schedules to be followed, and if she was gong to be at card on the front said she weuld collect the mail, she would have to go at a lively clip, for it was hard for a horse with even as\u2019 broad shoulders as as stout legs as Dolly kad to breast the.wind that swodped down from the north.Yes, Dolly was a responsible harse, and Captain Curlow.who drove her.often sald he believed that if he was ever so unfaithful to his duty as to go to sleep some day in the cosy posteart, Dolly would cellect the mail.But it was because of Dolly's lively gait and rer unexpected dash around the corner that a little girl at one particular mail-box was so surprised that she tumbled back into a snowdrift, though ths fact that she had been standing on the very topmost tips of her toes, trying to put a letter in the box, accounted for her uncertain balance.Anyway, it was quite a tumble she had, and Captain Curlow was quite relieved when he jumped from the cart and picked her up, to find her smiling, as she extended an envelope to him, saying.\u2018Guess I neednt\u2019 put it in the box now; you can just c'lect it from me\u2019 \u201cWell!\u201d said Captain Curlow.as he looked at the addressya'aud you're another of those lit@® cherubs who Faven't any faith in Santa Claus.Thought vou'd have to write to hin.else he might forget to come, didn't you ?.\u2018Knew he wouldn't come \u2018less I wroted to him.Mother said he never came to our part o\u2019 town.So I just come out here to mail a letter to him.\u2019 \u2018You came out here to mail a letter \u2018Yes;

Winnipeg team last year, was in the cage.Mr.Adolphe Lecours, who attended the practice, stated that he expected Vezina, Poulin and Gauthier to be jn the turnout on Wednesday night.MILD WEATHER HARD ON THE CURLERS But Many Matches Played Last Night Despite Slow Ice.The present mild we: weather has had the effect of damping the enthusiasm of curlers belonging to the various clubs throughout the city.Nevertheless,last night saw the commencement of the scheduled matches between the different clubs.Even at the Heather rink,where the thaw had been more severely felt than at any of the others, the play was good, though the stones seemed at times to have a slight tendency to drag.There was one tie during the evening, on the Thistle ice, where the home rink, skipped by Judge Archibald, and the Mantreal rink, skipped by F.C.Wilson, each scored 11 points.On the Montreal~ice, the three rinks from the Thistle fared rather badly, the only one to win out being that skipped by H.B.Wills against H.B.Brainerd, the president of the home club.The other two went down to the tune of 8 and 9 points, respectively.On their own ice Thistles did much better, for though the score at the finish

Renfrew hockey team had its first practice this evening.The appearance of Tlex.Currie, of Ottawa, who started out last year with the Cliffsides, and who got $600 for one month's play at Haileybury, was something of a surprise.The Renfrew Club got Currie this morning, closed with him at one o'clock, and rushed him up to Renfrew at 6.He made a very favorable impression, and will probably play rover.Arthur.Gillerain, of Brockville, a wing man, whom Albert Kerr recommended to the Ottawas, was also in uniform.Others out were Bert.Lindsay, Bobbie Kerr and Herb Jordan, who has finally consented to play.Taylor's absence again Bave rise to a lot of talk but it is understood that the club will come to terms with the Listowel boy before the end of this week.Rpey expect McNamara on Wednesday, ahd may each close a deal by which both the Cleghorn boys will play for Renfrew.Frank Patrick is understood to have asked .$2000, but the millionaires are still hopeful of getting him.It is also

vacancies on account of the examinations, the majority of the team was out.The pace was rather fast at the start and the players began to wilt, Then it steadied down to easier work.It seems that there will be a few changes from last year\u2019s septette.The new men are good, but it is likely that there will be but two at the outside who will make a bid for a place.Scott and Davidson are in the same class as the old players, but whether or not they will get places, it is impossible to say.This was the last regular practice before the holidays.The team, however, intend to get to work early next

by tribunals and commls- sions, unable to :move without an investigation.He compared.the head of a transcontinental lire to a commercial traveller, one selling transpor- tationtt the other selling some commodity., \u2018Again if you, before sending out a new price list, had tô submit it to a tribunal, it might bother you a good deâl.And if before you could fix a price the burden of proof lay with you, it might give you some surprise.But that is the case with railway tariffs.\u2019 \u2018Across the border there is a standstill, awaiting the determination whether railways shall or shall not advance their tariffs, which they have been impelled to do by reason of increased cost of labor and material.\u2019 Yet when they approach the proper tribunal, and ask the relief which any of you would take, without asking the\u2019 leave of any one, by way of increasing rates to meet\u2019 increasing cost of lahor and supplies, they are told to await investigation, and experts of ail sorts are brought on to show that they are not justified in asking additional rates.\u2019 Continuing, Mr.Hayes stated that Canada was peculiarly fortunate in her railway situation, with practically only three roads in the country.The commercial traveller could cross the continent by one-routé, booking \u2018orders, and return by another road through an altogether different district.Mr.C.C.Ballantyne also spoke on the subject lof transportation, and during the course of \u2018his address made the announcement to the effect that Montreal is \u2018to have a first-class drydock.\u2018I make this statement because of the many rumors which are to be heard, and the statements which are being made by the press,\u2019 said He.\u2018The Harbor Commissioners have always taken the stand that it would be bad business to construct a.dock which would only serve vessels of 15,000 tons, when, in a short time.we expect.to have ships of twenty-five thousand tons entering the port\u2019 \" \" : Continuing, Mr.Ballantyne said that they were not at all discouraged by the delay and trouble at Ottawa.The work at Molson's Creek was going ahead.Six acres have already \u2018been built out of the river bed, and it is intended to increase this to thirty.The big British firm, which is to construct the dock will also construct a ship repairing shop and the result will be a large industrial establishment.The speaker criticized the farmers who visited Ottawa from the west for what the looked on as a narrow localized sentiment.They hud asked for government-owned elevators throughout the west and on the Pacific coast, for government control of the Hudson's Bay mailway, and for many other changes which would be of profit to them, yet not one word was said for the deepéning of the Welland canal, nor for the construction of the Geor- glan Bay Canal, and there was no word of praise for the great transcontinental roads that now stretch across the country.He submitted that at Montreal the government was doing all that is possible for the western man.\u2018The annual profit from the grain elevators,\u201d said he, \u2018wouldn't pay your fare home on the street car.\u2019

of a young congregation known as Knox Presbyterian Church, situated in the southern end of the city.The opening services were conducted by the Rev.Dr.Johnston, of the American Presbyterian Church, and the church, which has a seauiug capacity of 900, was taxed to its ut- must, as many as 200 gaining admission at the evening service.Most appropriate and eloquent messages were received from many friends and sister churches.The feature of the evening was an address by Dr.Johnston.The church is considered one of the most handsome and up to date churches in Ontario.The design is in Tudor Gothic, the work of Mr.Ifenry Simpson, of Simpson & Young, architects.It is carried out in brick and Indiana limestone.Boys\u2019 club rooms, young men\u2019s room, ladies\u2019 parlor, manager's room and vestry adjoin the auditorium, while a large lecture hall is connected with the church.Much credit is due to Mr.A.McKenzie, a former Montrealer, and member of St.Giles Church, for the completion of such an up to date structure.The congregation has had a wonderful growth under the leadership of the Rev.H.J.Keith, a Mec- Gill graduate, and an honor man of he Montreal Presbyterian College.TAVORS

Lewis to the mission of Combermere, on the Upper Ottawa.On St.Thomas day, 1885, he was advanced to the priesthood by the late Archbishop of Canada in the cathedral at Kingston.His work, however, in

Institutions Ordered to Pay Taxes.\u201cOttawa, Dec.20\u2014According to the ruling of Judge MacTavish, taxes will have to be paid on both the property of the Sisters of the Precious Blood, { Bamk street, and what is known as the Soper building on Metcalfe street, used in connection with the Gloucester street convent.The assessors exempted only the building actually used as a chapel by the Sisters of the Precious Blood, and an appeal was taken to the Court of Revision on the ground that it was a seminary of learning.The Court of Revision confirmed the assessment and then an appeal was taken to the county judge.Judge MacTavish, in confirming the assessment, said the property was mot exclusively used as a seminary of learning, but was really a convent or place of seclusion, and that the education was merely incidental to this.He further said that all properties should be assessed unless the law was very clear as to their exemption.THIRTY WOMEN SMUGGLERS.Ordered to Pay Duty on

before the customs collector and pay the duty on the coats they were wearing, all\u201d of Dwihich were purchased in Detroit.From now on, when any woman is found attempting to bring any kind of wearing apparel into Windsor from Detroit without paying the duty, \u2018the goods will be seized outright, without any duty payment option.As many as 75 Windsor women have been served with notices to

Dec.20,\u2014After an eventful existence of less than four years in the world of finance, the Farmers Bank, with its head office at Toronto, and thirty branches in Ontario, to-day failed to open ite doors.While all branches were kept open yesterday until the close of banking hours, the bank was practically in a state of suspension from the moment when it defaulted to the Toronto Clearing House yesterday morning for the amount of its «debit balance to the other banks, the.sun being in the neighborhood of $20,000.Under the provisions of the Banking Act, a hank is considered to be suspended when -it is unaible to meet its liabilities, \u2018and it becomes fhe duty of the president of the Canadian Bankers\u2019 Association forthwith to ap~ point a curator, who shall take full charge of the bank's affairs pending an investigation into its condition an ' decision as to \u2018the course to be followed in its further operation or its winding up.Nominaïly under the act.a defaulting bank has ninety days\u2019 grace in which to resume its payments, and if it succeeds in doing it is again in good standing, but lu- stances.where a bank In.difficulty has b.2n able to avail itself of this provision have been rare indeed, and the chances are understood to be remote for any other conclusion to its troubled than the winding up of the institution.SAYS CLOSING.ONLY TEMPORARY.\u2018Because of the newspaper publicny and the remarks of the judge at Lindsay, the Farmers\u2019 Bank is temporarily put out of business,\u2019 were the words used by Mr.W.R.Travers, vice-pre- sident and general manager of the Farmers\u2019 Bank, when asked last night for a statement regarding the suspension of the institution.The judge's remark stanted.a run on the bank and its branches afl over the country, and as we did not wish to give anybody the preference, we have decided 10 close the doors to-morrow morning, 1m order to give us an opportunity to ascertain our real position.The suspension may be for only a few days, four or five, perhaps.Under the Banking Act.we have 90 days in which to make good our Tialbilities.This is the only statement that I can make at the present time.\u2019 .Mr, Travers, who was obviously affected by the severe strain under which he has been laboring for the past few days, seemed to hold the press primarily responsible for the bank\u2019s difficulties, and : spoke with considerable bitterness of the undesirable publicity which \u2018the affairs of the bank.had, recelved as a consequence of the,fevelations in the trial at Lindsay.When the.bank failed to meet ns obligations to.the other banks through the Clearing House yesterday morning, it -devolved upon tlie manager of the Merchants, Bank, Mr.Cassamer A, B.Patterson, in his official capacity as chairman of the Clearing House, to notify Mr.Duncan Coulson, of the Bank of Toronto, that the Farmers\u2019 Bank had defaulted, Mr.Coulson being chairman of the Toronto section of the Canadian Bankers\u2019 Association.Mr.Coulson, in turn, notified Sir Edward Coulson, of Montreal, the president of the: association.Sir Edward immediately instructed Mr.John Knight, the secretary of the association.to.come to Toronto, and Mr.Knight.will arrive in the morning to take charge of the bank's affairs, pending the appointment of a curator.The latter contingency will probably not be delayed longer than to-day, as the president is empowered to make this appointment at once., + ORGANIZED FIVE YEARS AGO.There is considerable speculation as ta the probable identity of the curator, some bankers suggesting Mr.Stavert, of the Bank of Montreal, having acted in a.simijlgr capacity for the Ontario Bank, while others think that owing to \u2018the limited capital and resources of the Farmers\u2019 Bank, some less conspicuous figure than Mr.Sta- vert will be selected.The Farmers\u2019 Bank was projected some five years ago, among the gentlemen interested in its inception being former Mayor Thomas Urquhart, Dr.John D.Ferguson, and Alex.Fraser, provincial archivist.These gentlemen, who were provisional directors, severed.their connection with the directorate before the bank was organized for business.Mr.W.R, Travers, who had been manager of the Merchants Bank at Berlin for over ten years, took an active part in the promotion of the new institution, and was appointed general manager, dater becoming also vice- president.Even before tha bank was fully organized troubles neset its\u2018 \u201chearth.Some of the subsocibers to the stock became alarmed and shught to have their subscriptions
