\u2018AMARYNTHIA\u2019 DISINFECTED.MONTREAL GENERAL HOSPITAL.ADVERTISEMENTS.SHE WILL PROBABLY DEFEND THE CUP .THE TRIAL RACES RESULT SATISFACTORILY.The series of trial races to select a defender of the Seawanhaka international challenge cup has practically been concluded, and they have furnished a test of the merits of the boats entering for them which has been eminently satisfactory.The first day's racing, that of Monday, There was very round of the ccurse, which round \u2018Glencairn II\u201d won was very unsatisfactory.little wind for one easily, and the rest of the work was simply drifting out the time limit.Tuesday's racing was, taking it all throuvh, the finest day's yachting that has ever taken place on Lake St.Louis.There was a true west and south breeze which, while it varied in strength from a fresh full sail breeze to a very light air, never entirely failed, and gave during the day practically every condition ct racing weather, excepting a reefing blow, and us 1t was quite atroag enough at times to drive the boats to very lugh speeds, there 1s really no ne-d of a test in a reeting breeze.No less than six races were satled during the dav.Thes: were grouped mn pairs.Two around the triangular course, leaving all buoys to starboard ; two to windward and return, and two around the triangular course, leaving all buoys to port.On the first two races there was one leg of tire cuursg which was nearly dead to windward, a reach and a run.The windward and return legs was a dead beat to windward and spinnaker run back, and the two rounds to port was a long and a short leg to the m-shore buoy and a close and a broad reach back again.lvery one ot these six races, sailed in pretty much every condition of wind trom a fresh rull sail breeze to a drift, was won with the greatest ease by \u2018Glen- cairn 11.Mr.James Ross, commodore of the club, who has returned to Canada in order to be preseat at the international cup races, boarded the committe: steamer during the day, and has had the peculiar pleasure of seeing his boat for the first time 1n the act and article of win- ping sIX struight races, and hard races they were.During the first two races round the triangle, leaving all buoys to starboard, there was a fresh full sail Lreeze, falling somewhat during the latter part of the second race.And \u2018'Glen- cairn 11.\u2019 sailed the first of these in 37 nun.and 51 sec., and the second in 39 min.and 41 sec., and was an easy winner in both.The first to windward and return race was started in a very little air and this was the only serious error in judgment made by the committee during the day; they should have given the men half an hour's rest and time to get lunch in the hope that the wind would freshen, as it did.This race was completed within only two and a half minutes of the time limit and was the only long race of the day.The second windward and return race was started after lunch in a fresh breeze \u2014In fact one of the boats turned in a single reef\u2014and was a splendid bout from start to finish.The result of these two races was exactly the same as the previous two.'Glencairn II.\u201d was easily first.The first of the races to port around the triangle was sailed in a good fresh breeze for the windward work, lighting up a little for the two last legs.The last race was sailed in a falling breeze, suc has 18 nearly always blowing over Lake St.Louis towards evening.Under all these different conditions \u2018Glencairn II.\u201d was ahead, and consider ing the speed with which the boats were travelling over the course, with very satisfactory margins.In the two starboard races she had a lead of two and three minutes on her competitors.In the windward and return races she had a lead of two and five minutes, and in the two starboard races a lead of two minutes.The only conclusion, therefore, that can be drawn from this very thorough test is that \u2018Glencairn 11.\u201d as sailed by Mr.Geo.Herrick Duggan, has an unquestionable superiority over any of the other contestants and this appears to have been pret- tv much the unanimous opinion of the committee.Two other conclusions can be arrived at also.The first that the seamanship of Mr.Aemilus Jarvis is better even than in his great reputation; the masterly man- rer in which he brought \u2018Bonshaw\u2019 well up into the fleet, in spite of the fact that the experts ull agreed that she was, as | to abdicate.: that Germany has probably consented to against breakdowns and other contingencies up to the very last minute, and as the cup races are for the best three of five races, the plan adopted seems to be a perfectly fair one to all parties.It would not be so of course if the match was decided to be even one of the two races, because there would be substantial advantage in that case in choosing à boat to suit the weather conditions of the first day.These trial races are the first occasion at which an attempt has been made to arrive at the conclusive results as to the merits of a fleet of boats by racing them a number of times on a comparatively short course, and the result has justified the experiment.The work must necessarily be sharp.There is plenty of starting drill and sail drill, the merits of the boats are brought out much more fairly and the races are much more interesting to watch than if they were sailed in the usual method, three or four rounds to a specified course.\u2018METEOR\u2019 WON.Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug.4.\u2014The \u201cMeteor,\u201d owned by the Emperor William of Germany, won the race for the Roval Yacht Squadron prize of £160 over the Queen\u2019s course, defeating the Duke of Abruzzi\u2019s \u2018Bona\u2019 and Mr.Charles Day Reese's \u2018Aurora.\u2019 \u2014\u2014p__ ST.LAMBERT WATERWORKS.CONTRACT SIGNED\u2014WORKK TO BEGIN IMMEDIATELY.The contract for the St.Lambert water and drainage work has been signed.This was the statement made by Mayor Per- rais at the meeting of the municipal council of St.Lambert on Mondar night.The by-law which provides for the construction of a complete system of water and drainage was approved by the ratepayers, but before coming into effect required the endorsation of the lieutenant- governor-in-council.This has been secured, the by-law legally promulgated, ; the contract signed, and the work is to begin immediately.This will be welcome news to the residents of St.Lim- bert, who bad almost begun to despair of ever seeing this much-needed enterprise an accomplished fact.The council also decided to purchase from Mr.T.P.Butler two lots of land on Front street on which to erect the pumping station, for two thousand dollars.The rate per foot for this property was about four and a half cents.Ine Mayor renorted concerning the matter of proper protection at the Grand Trunk Railway crossing, that they had an interview with Mr.Hobson, chief engineer of the Grand Trunk.The company were willing to comply with the request for a subway under the railway tracks on Victoria avenue provided the council would assume the cost of the masonry work.Mr.Hobson had also intimated that he would have an estimate made of the cost of the work and submit it to the council.As soon as this is received the matter will be considered.It was also decided to close in the corporation\u2019s property on Aberdeen and Argyle streets, and not allow any more rubbish to be deposited there.The inspector was instructed to have the drain in rear of Victoria avenue cleaned, as a complaint was made by a resident of its filthy condition.Councillor Beatty suggested the advisability of employing a person to act in the capacity of clerk of works in connection with the building of the waterworks, the object being to have a check upon the cost of coastruetion so as to facilitate the matter of arbitration when the municipality decides upon taking over the work.Councillor Sproule supported the proposal and said this was customary on all large undertakings of this nature.The Mayor did not think this was necessary as the contractors are obliged to submit sworn statements of the actual cost of construction.The question was postponed for a week and the council adjourned until next Monday evening.TURKO-GREEK SETTLEMENT.ARRANGEMENTS PROGRESSING FAVORABLY Constantinople, Aug.4\u2014The peace conference was in session three hours today, and unexpected progress was made with the negotiations.lt is said that everything has been arranged except the question of the evacuation of Thessaly, which is to be considered to-morrow.Athens, Aug.4\u2014M.Ralli, the Premier, denies that King George has threatened This is interpreted to mean some modified control Greek finances acceptable both to Greece and to Europe.A sharp engagement took place between 2,000 Turkish troops and the armed population of the villages lying between Metsovo and Trikhala.The Turks far as her hull was concerned, much in-| retreated after losing seventy killed.feriar to all the other contestants, was | remarkable.The other was that \u2018Avoca\u2019 was not, in the trial races, showing the speed which she unquestionably evinced in the Ross races.The action of the committee in arranging for a series of match trial races between \u2018Glencairn IT\" and \u2018Avoca,\u2019 in which Mr.Jarvis will take charge of \u201cAvoca,\u2019 is therefore an admirable cne.As matters now stand, therefbre.both the challengers and the challenged club have as a result of the trial races selected two boats, hoth by the same designer, upon one or the other of which the duty of defending and attacking the cup will rest, and as under th- rules governing these races the contestants need not be named until a quarter of an hour before the first race.it is probable that the final selection will not he announced until a very late hour.This gives both \u2018 .- TR a re ae sp re pce 1A + rr BS # to the Kaiser.New York, Aug.4.\u2014A dispatch to

submitted to the operation.The following letter speaks for itself:-\u2014 Montreal, Aug.3, 1897.E.P.Lachapelle, Esq., M.D., Dear Dr.Lachapelle,\u2014I read in the evening papers a letter from Dr.Laberge, medl- cal health officer, containing the following statement :\u2014 \u2018About 10.30 the following morning (July 7), the matron of our hospital telephoned me, saying that Dr.Wyatt Johnson was then in our hospital, as he said, by order of Dr.E.P.Lachapelle, chairman of the provincial board, for the purpose of removing our patients to the Montreal General Hospital section, and to disinfect the section thus vacated, and that as the resident physician was absent, she desired to be advised what to do.\u2019 You wilt remember that at the time I explained to Dr Laberge in your presence that my errand was to see what disinfection would be necessary in case that part of the building should, as was then proposed, bo utilized for smallpox patients, and that my visit to the Civic Hospital had no immediate reference to tha removal of any Patients.At the time, by order of the Mayor, and with the approval of Dr.Laberge (your board was co-operating with the local board) I was engaged in assisting in the disinfection in all the dwellings infected by small- rox.Upon going to the hospital I enquired for the resident medical officer, and learn- lng that he was absent, I looked through the different wards to see what disinfection vould be needed.and went away, leaving à message that I wished to speilt to the medical resident when he returned.The facts as here stated were fully explained to Dr.Laberge at the time, and I find it atrarge that he should now make public his first impressions without the corrections as to the facts brought to his notice soon after on the same day.That some mistake had been made in the message sent was evident at the time, for Dr.La- berge had somehow got the imprestion that it was Dr.Armstrong who had visited the Pospital.I

Indian Valley, near | this place, may die from the effects of \u2018a snake bite that she received on Sunday.As the girl stooped to pluck some flowers a large rattlesnake darted from a bush some distance above her, and fell on her back.As she arose the snake coiled about her neck.Seizing the snake by the head the girl essayed to free her self from its tightening coils, but unsue- cessfully, and then the fangs of the reptile pierced her arm.The girl screamed for help.Before assistance came another snake approached her.The second rat tler she stamped to death.Just then, Thomas Burns

The average attendance of patients per day at the General Hospital during July was one hundred and fifty, with an average of six hundred and seventy-three consultations in the outdoor.At the close of the month there were fifteen cases of typhoid fever under treatment.The ambulance responded to seventy-six calls.The hospital authorities would again ask telephone owners to make sure that the ambulance is really required before allowing a message to be sent in.They would also call the attention of outside municipal authorities to the necessity of providing payment at least al the minimum rate of fifty cents per day for patients sent in to the hospital.Miss Charlton, librarian of the McGill College medical Nbrary, has kindly agreed to catalogue the Fenwick library.Shelves for this library having been provided in the sltting-room belonging to the medical Louse staff, it will now be removed from the Y.M.C.A.The filllng in of the tablet in the main hall showing the legacles and benefac- | tions to the hospital of one thousand dollars and upward is now completed.As some of the hoepital records have been lost, it is intended to indicate that these are behefac- tions as far as

month.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014p\u2014\u2014__ MARKET COMMITTEE MEETING.À meeting of the Market Committee vas called this morning to receive Mr.Badger's report on the condition of the electric wiring of the markets.He reported that the expense of fixing the wiring, so that it would be properly iecsulated in all the markets, would be in the neighborhood of a hundred dollars, or at most would not exceed that amount.He asked the committee for power to compel the butchers to keep thelr part of the work up to the reyuired standard.Ald.Harper moved that this power to give to Mr.Badger.and that he ocuncil be asked for one hundred dollars for the part of the work for which the corporation was responsible.The representatives for the Darling and Skelly estaies appeared before the comfnit- tes to ask that the sidewalks in frout of their bulldings, on Jacques Cartier square, be kept free from the obstraction of market waggons.They had already taken action against the city and obtained judgments against it on this account, but still the nuisance was unaibated.The committee decided to report the matter to council urging them to take action on a petition of the committee, which has been before the council for over six weeks, requesting it to vote $60,000 for the enlergement of the market.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014r\u2014\u2014 MGR.BRUCHESI.All the arrangements for the consecration of Archbishop Bruchesi are being rapidly completed.hz ceremony will commence at 9 a.m., and it has been decided not to place any additional decorations in St.James's Cathedral, as the architectural lines of the vast temple are considered to form a sufficient ornament by themselves.After the religious ceremony is over Judge Loran- ger will present an address to the new archbishop in the name of the St.Jean Baplisre Society and the French Catholic portion of the community.The same will be done in English by the Hon.Dr.Guerin, in the name of St.Patrick's Society and the Irish Catholics.Immediately after a grand bau- quet will be given in the Episcopal palace.when the clergy and several citizens, including Mgr.Bruches!'s male relatives will be present.It is expected that the archbishop will appoint his grand vicar during the banquet.On the following day Mgr.Bruchesi will dine with his mother, brothars and sisters and their families, at the Grey MNunnery.THE PALLIUM.The pallium or special decoration reserved + | to afchibishops having to be asked for in the course of a consistory, the one destined for Archbishop Bruchesi will probably not reach here before December, as no consistory is expected to take place for some time yet.The plilllum is à white woollen band in which are Inserted several small crosses in black wool.The band is in the shape of a collar covering both shoulders, with two appendices, one falling on the breast and the other In the back.It is fastened on the episcopal vestments by means of three gold pine ornamented witn precious stones.The pallium, a symbol of the authority of St.Peter, is made with the wool of two lambs blessed each year by the Pope, on the feast of St.Agnes.It is a strictly personal decoration and {is buried with each individual archbishop when he dies.- TWO WEE TRAVELLERS.A few days ago there entered the Windsor Street Station two litle Finnish girls of about five and seven years of age respectively, who could hardly speak a word of Knglish.They had been sent over the Delaware & Hudson route from New York, and according to & card pinned on to their clothing were on their way to St.Paul, Minn., where an uncle of theirs was to meet them.No provision, however, hal besn made for their sustenance and they had to wait over an entire day in the city before they could continue their journey oa the \u2018Soo\u2019 train.Constable Richards of the Windsor Station, with his usual kindness of heart, purchased enough food for the little travellers, whose names, by the way, were Minnle and Lottie, to suffice them for the day they had to walt and for the rest of their journey to St.Paul.The female attendant of the ladies\u2019 waiting-room also looked after the children and they played around the station all day till the close, when they were glad to go to sleep on the train that vas to carry them to thelr destination.= DISORDERLY HOUSES.Since the police authorities cleared out the had garg of men and women from St.Tim- athe,.formerly the notorlour Jacques Cartier strezt, four disorderly houses have been opened at the east end of Champ de Mars sireet, cpposite the \u2018Fournecau Economique,\u2019 which is kept by several nuns under the charge of Superioress Montgolfier.During the past few weeks these places have caused considerable annoyance to the nuns and cther residents on the streat, with their nightly orgies, so they decided to put an end to the trouble.With this intention, Curé Hebert, of the Bonsecours Church, ccrpleired at the Central Police Station last right, and officers were immediat>'y la.talled to give the koopers of the houses three days\u2019 notice to quit.They were not slow in obeying the order, as to-day cvery house is vacant.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 ROBBED HIS FATHER-IN-LAW, In the Police Court this morning Mr.Lafontaine, the police magistrate, sent a shoemaker named Calixte Parent to jail for fifteen days for stealing a gold watch from his father-in-law, Maxime Monette, 1 Grothe street, on Sunday morning last.The Case wes placed in the hands of Letective Char- pentter and Acting Detective Giguere, who located the accused on Ontario street last night with the stolen property in h!s possession.GOLD WATCH STOLEN.Alphonse D'Amour, of 32 Panet street last night complained at the Detective Bureau that while he was lying asleep on a bench in Viger square, his gold watch and chain were stolen.The detectives promised to investigate the case which is almost a hopeless one unless the thief pawns the

camp meeting was an address delivered this afternoon by Mr.Stephen Merritt of New York, a former prominent business man of that city, on the subject of \u2018 Sanctification.STEPHEN It was in the nature of a review of his personal experience of a sanctified Christian and a medium of divine healing.If, as Mr.Moody says, there are three thousand churches this side oË the Alleghanies that have not had a conversion in the last year, the speaker said, the cause is that they have not had the Holy Ghost with them; they have not experienced the third dispensation.I believe that under the influence of the Christian Alliance there is quietly going on throughout the country one of the greatest religious revivals the New World ever saw.I love those who believe that God is the Lord, and who believe his every promise.They are on intimate terms with God and with the Holy Ghost.They can command the devil to depart from a troubled being, and he is bound to obey their command.They also have power to heal all manner of diseases.Their missionaries have the power to go up and down throughout the various countries, healing the sick on every hand by the power of the Holy Ghost.I am in daily communion with the Holy Ghost.I have experienced the third dispensation.A short time ago 1 was called one night to visit the bedside of a dying woman.The physicians had told her she could not live the night out.After I had talked with her a little while she asked me if 1 would anoint her.\u2018If I anoint you,\u2019 said I, \u2018you will live.\u201d She said she believed it.I asked for some oil.Her folks brought me some oil and I anointed her.Of course, she got well.She is in good health to-day, and a firm believer in the power of the Holy Ghost to save and heal.Oh, let us be up with the age in which we live\u2014 this Holy Ghost age.In the last six months (God has manifested himself to me and through me more than in all my former Christian experience.Through me he has opened lunatic asylums, bade inmates come forth, and I have seen them depart clothed in their right minds.He has touched consumptives on the very brink of the grave, and restored them to health.The crippled and infirm have been fully healed.In my secret com munication with the Holy Ghost he has assured me that he wants to make this week at Old Orchard camp ground a most blessed week.He says it remains with you; all he asks js that you let him make it the most glorious week the country ever knew.In conclusion, the speaker referred to the success of the Alliance foreign mis sionary work.The subjects of \u2018 Sanctification\u2019 and \u2018 Divine Healing\u2019 will be further discoursed upon in the meetings during the early part of the week, the remaining days being devoted to the cause of missions.The anointing of applicants for divine healing will take place Saturday.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 ONTARIO CROP OUTLOOK IMPROVING.= THE DAMAGE BY THE RAINSTORMS NOT SO BAD AS AT FIRST REPORTED.Toronto, Aug.4.\u2014The reports received by Toronto grain merchants and millers regarding the damage done by the recent rains are of a rather more encouraging nature.While without a doubt serious damage has occurred in some sections of the country, it is by no means likely that the loss will be anything as hcavy as was at first anticipated.Some districts have suffered severely while others have escaped with no damage at all, and the recent fine weather has been favorable on wheat.The storm appears to have confined itself in a southern direction of the province, and perhaps the district that has suffered the most is that around the Niagara peninsula.East and west of Toronto, also, for perhaps a hundred miles, there is considerable damage, not as heavy though, as was at first thought.There is a remarkable change the past two days in the tenor of the crop reports received by lccal grain dealers.During the continuous rain the reports sent in were almost invariably of an alarmist nature, telling of crops beaten down, sprouting wheat and general ruin.There is a great difference now, however.With the fine weather it has been discovered that the damage has not been anything like as great as was expected.Many of the first reports, too, came in from individuals who, perhaps on account of the soft qualitv of the grain they were growing, suffered more severely than their neighbors, and the damage in many other instances was merely sectional.The northern portion of the province appears to have .escaped without any great injury.Kent and Essex were Jucky counties and have receiv ed little damage.Along the eastern por- ticn of the shore of Lake Erie the wheat was beaten down, while on the north shore of Lake Ontario it was in shock, and suffered damage while in the field.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 L.A.W.MEET.Philadelphia, Pa., Aug.3.\u2014The Pennsylvania division of the League of American \\Vheelmen held its semi-annual meeting to-day in the Lafayette

CATARRH\u2014HAY FEVER.An Interested Mothur.\u2014I have a boy in his fourteenth year.He is strong and fleshy, but jg troubled at times with gneez- ing and hawking llke hay fever.He lus been for two months hardly free from it.His eyes get inflamed and swollen and one ear if you press on it is sore.He is very fond of swimming and that seems to make ft worse.He is also troubled with oold sores on his lips.We have used the atomizer with cleansing washes and vaseline for his nose.the nose and throat, What would benefit him?Ans.\u2014Hay fever is called a nervous disease, and is often brought on by scma present irritation like dust from sweeping, beating up a straw bed, shaking up a feather-bed or pillows, the pollen of plants and especially the fine irritating particles which come from grass when in flower.Scme persons have an attack from going in the carg or open carriage on ag dusty day.These facts only show that the exciting cause of hay fever {is local irritation of highly excitable respiratory nerves and that quieting this {irritation by absence of the iritating cause and sedatives to the nerves will bring relief, but why are these nerves go irritable?Dr.PF.Taylor, London, remarks that some authors belleve that there ls always a predisposing cause in an unhealthy condition of the nasal mucous membrane.A chronle, thickened condition of this membrane certainly causes attacks similar to hay fever on the slightest provocation.Some persons have soft non-resist- ent membranes which inflame very easily.It je natural that such should suffer from catarrh of nose and eyes in the time of dust and flowering plants, which is also the time when perspiration induces young persons to try to cool off in a draught or td throw off the coat they have worn in the sun when they come into a cool room.More cases complaining of hay fever have a cause which is not wholly nervous than those which are, like spasmodic asthma, apparently nervous alone.A growing boy like this probably with a chronic catarrh behind the ose of some duration needs to have definite treatment to.cure this catarrh and make the general condition of all his tissues firm dnd resistent.It geems quite worth while to take such a lad to a nasal specialist who can see with his mirrors just where the thickened, inflamed membrane is, and treat it locally In a way and with a precision which could not be attempted by those who have no! made the nose and throat a study or had the experience gailned by those who give their time to this one department Also it would be worth while to get him down to the salt water and feed him with solid food, denying pork, candy cake, fresh bread, tea, coffee or tobacco.Places on the St.Lawrence like Kamouraska, Cacouna, Metis, Murray Bay and Tadousac, give a fine tonic effect to appetite, and the sea bath and salt alr will help all whose ten- dencles are slightly scrofulous.Care must be taken to send a lad amongst prudent people who will not allow a cold or diarrhoea to go untreated or incite a newly grown boy to feate suitable to a tougher, older lad.It is better for him to associate with younger or quieter lads \"until he gets bis growth to prevent accidents, strains or sovere chills when a boy's system is all in a fofmative soft condition.The tough street boy under-sized, wizened and accustomed to hardship, can bear what your boy can't bear now, but at twenty-four compare the two lads again and probably the other will he undersized and have several troubles while the well-cared for and protected youth may be taller and larger than his father, with good teeth and firm health, energetic as well as prudent, and able to bear the stress of life.Between fourteen and eighteen violent exercises or needless exposure is often ruinous.When bathing In salt water protect the ears with tufts of iodoform wool.This is just absorbent cotton containing ten percent of lodoform when dry.It smells worse than plain abgorbent cotton, but may be more useful.LACK OF APPETITE\u2014FOUL BREATH, ETC.Subscriter has foul breath, disagreeable taste In the mouth.No appetite, with frequent headache and sour stomach.ls a young man.Ans.\u20141.You may be too weak to digest ycur food.Some persons who have a feeble circulation, anyway, reduce their diet until the stomach ceases to perform its fu: ctions, a bad habit which can be curel best by really appetizing food instead of tasteless porridge, and by a mildly bitter tenic before meals.2.You may eat food which corstipates you, which results in irdigestion Al! the way up the food canal.A disagrcetble breath proceeding from the stomach shows that it contains something which would spoil new food.When the food tube is kept in good working order all the way dcwn the stomach will empty itself downward much sooner.Healthy waves of muscular movement, at any part provoke movement all the way.3.ie you are subject to much nervous annoyance or strain of mental work or snrrew, as when watching some suffering friend, this is probably à cause of indigestion.4.If you usc tobacco, or depend for working power upon tea or coffee, or sit up late stooping and squeczing .ycur stomach and lungs over hooks.then cat breakfast late, and get dinner before breakfast is digested, this habit alone would prevent recovery.Eat only what can be digested before the next meal,and do not eat meals on top of eich other.5.When the employments of mind and body are whoie- scme, the habits regular, and rest, work and outdoor recreation follow cach other, persons can hardly help recovering from a feeble, nervous condition.When the food draws a good flush into tho walls of the stonirch the glands and muscles set to work with a wili, but this can be stopped in an untimely manner, and digestion delayed by vigorous exercise of mind or body after cating, or any excitement or worry.LACHRYMAL CATARRH.The tear duct from thc eye to the nose sometimes becomes obstructed by catarrh, The place

No man in Canada has given more attention to the question of railway freight rates as they affect the Canadian farmer than Mr.J.Lockie Wilson of Alexandria.Mr.Wilson was in town this week, and the \u2018Sun\u2019 took advantage of his presence to get a statement from bim in regard to this matter.\"All sorts of discrimination is being practised,\u201d said Mr.Wilson.\u2018One section of Ontario gets better rates than another section, and all parts of this prevince are placed in a worse position by railways bonused by our own people than are our American competitors who are served by these same railways.DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LOCALITIFS, \u2018Take a few local cases first.Morris- burg is ninety-two miles from Montreal.Last winter the farmers in the vicinity of that village had a rate of cight cents for four-gallon cars of milk, while farmers on the Canada Atlantic Railway, only sixty miles from Montreal, were compelled to pay eleven cents for the same weight of milk in similar cans.Consequently the Morrisburg farmer had an advantage over us of nearly a cent a gallon in the same market, though we were thirty miles closer.THE WHOLE PROVINCE WRONGED.\u2018But, as I have said, all sections of Ontario are placed in a worse position in regard to freight rates by Canadian railways than are the people of the United States, who never put up a dollar of subsidy or bonus for them.\u2018The rate on our railways for stock in carloads is twenty-eight cents p°r hundredweight from Chicaga to Portland or Poston.Between Chicago and Port Huron, Mich., the Grand Trunk Railway hans a graded rate, beginning at Chicago at twenty-eight cents per hundredweight and coming down as the distance lessens between that city and Port Huron.The rate, for instance.from Fort Hurou to Portland is twenty-two cents per hundredweight.Three miles from Port Huron is Sarnia\u2014on the Canadian side of the line.The rate from Sarma to Portland is twenty-eight cents.Then the grading process ceases, and a blanket rate »f twenty-eight cents per hundred weight covers the line of the Grand Trunk from Sarnia to (Glengarry.The distance from stations in (ilengarry to Portland is ahout three hundred and fif y milea and from Port Huron.Mich., to Portland.Me, it is over eight hundred miles.\u2018Under the present syst-m of regulating rates the American shipper has a twenty-two-cent rate for eight hundred miles, and the Ontario farmer four hun dred and fifty miles nearer the ocean port is compelled to pay twenty-eight cents per bundredweight.:eighteen thousand pounds; WHY NOT HERE, TOO! \u2018The Grand Trunk of its own option grades the rate in United States territory according to distance.Why do 8 it not give that privilege to Ontario shippers 7 Is it any wonder that Ontario farmers ard shippers are roused over this unjust discrimination * 1 myself often wondered if there was ever a voice lifted at those joint traffic associations on behalf of the Ontario farmer.We want our railways to prosper, but not by unjust or illegal discrimination, and they must not be allowed to break the law with impunity.ANOTHER FAVOR TO OUR RAILWAYS.\u2018I said the cattle rate from Chicago was twenty-eight cents per hundredweight.That is the full charge made to American shippers for landing their stock at the ship's side at the Atlantic port, but the Canadian shipper has been compelled to pay an additicnal three and a half cents per hundredweight terminal charge for transhipment.Here, again, the American pays only twenty-eight cents, while the Canadian is stuck for thirty-one and a half cents per hundredweight for similar accommodation.I have given you a few specimen bricks that ought to satis- fv even the railway companies themselves that justice is not being meted to the Car.adian stock raisers and shippers.\u2019 ANOTHER INJUSTICE.\u2018American shippers of stock are charg- | ed a minimum weight of twenty thousand | pounds per car, and the average weight of | a train of cars is taken thus: first car, second car, twenty-two theusand pounds.The charge ig averaged at two cars.The Canadian shipper is in no such luck.He pays for eighteen thousand pounds at full carload rates.If his car of stock weighs twen- ty-two thousand pounds he is required to pay for the extra two thousand.\u201cThis is the way railways built largely with Canadian money assist Canadian farmers to wrestle with American competition in the English market.\u2018President Hays and President Van Horne are certainly looking carefully after the interests of their countrymen, if their countrymen are Americans.A MATTER OF WEIGHT, \u2018This week 1 shipped two pure-bred Ayrshires from ray farm at Alexandria to Galetta, in the County of Carleton.The ages of the animals were two years and three weeks respectively.The railway agent at Alexandria informed me that under the railway law my two-year-old Ayrshire would weigh two thousand pounds and the calf five hundred pounds.I protested and insisted on getting them weighed.The one by actual weight weighed six hundred and seventy-five pounds and the other a hundred and twenty-five.If the railway company had proposed to tax me thirty-four cents per hundredweight on the animals I would have been satished.1 was prepared to pay for bones, hair, flesh and partly digested grass, but [ drew the line at pay-: ing thirty-four cents per hundredweight for seventeen hundred pounds of temptible humbug.By freight they wanted me to pay eight dollars and fifty cents to carry these two voung animals eightv miles.After refusing to ship my stock in this way I sent them on a.haggage car on a passenger train at two dollars and fifty cents less than the freight rate would have been.I have a personal interest in the regulating of these unjust tariffs, and if the present government won\u2019t remedy our grievances con- train ! « , book we must fight on till we get men who will, COMPLAINTS IGNORED.\u2018I have complained to the Railway Committee of the Privy Council, as I am entitled to under the law, concerning the discrimination practised by the railway companies.1 supported my complaints by affidavits in regard to the facts.Although I brought this matter before the Privy Council last fall no action has yet been taken.1 have simply received an acknowledgment of my declarations.oo \u2018Instead of bonusing and building and buying more railways the present government would do well to grip with a firmer hand the ones we already have.\u2019 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \"BURNED HIS AUNT'S MONEY.THREW THE PURSE IN THE RANGE BUT SHE WAS RECOMPENSED.New York, Aug.8.\u2014Mrs.Kate O'Reilly has no more money than she needs; she has none to burn, so when her little nephew Tommy threw her pocketbook into the kitchen stove, and gleefully watched it in flames, Mrs.O'Reilly was sorrowful, and when Tommy left her embrace he felt as though a hundred-odd hornets had stung him.The incident occurred on July 24.On that day Mrs.(Reilly, who lives at 247 East One Hundred and Seventeenth street, was busy house-cleaning, and Tommy, who was on a visit to her was playing in the kitchen.Seeing that his aunt was engaged, and tiring of the usual forms of enjoyment, Tommy set about upon an exploring expedition.He started in at the burean drawers and soon discovered a fat pocketbook.His infantile fancy conceived that it would be capital fun to throw the pocketbook into the kitchen range and watch it burn.In an instant he had the lid of the range off, and in a moment he was clapping his hands and gleefully laughing at the flames as they danced about the leather pocketbook.In the rear room his aunt detected the smell of burning leather.and, hurrying into the kitchen, asked Tommy what he had been doing, but the artful lad had heard her approaching footsteps, and hastily replaced the lid on the stove.He declared that he \u2018 was doing nuthin\u2019 But the smell was there, and Mrs.O'Reilly opened the stove and saw the object smoldermg.She hurried to the bureau drawer and missed the pocketbook.She accused Tommy.He denied.She played a tattoo on Tommy and he confessed that he had thrown the pocketbook into the stove.Mrs.O'Reilly quickly fished the smoldering leather from the flames and carefully opened it.Only a mass of burned paper confronted her.She was inconsolable, for in the pocketbook had been one ten-dollar bill, seven fives, five ones, and one two-dollar bill, the savings of many months.She tried hard to make something out of the ashes, but all that was visible was a corner of the ten-dollar bill.She took the burned | pocketbook and its contents to the agent of the house in which she resides, John Stearer, whose office is at 147 East One ; Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, and ex- .plained the matter to him.On July 27 he drew up an affidavit, which she signed, setting forth the contents of the poc- kethook and the manner of its destruction and the following day the pocket.and ashes were delivered at the Sub-Treasury, in Wall street, together with the affidavit.Mrs.O'Reilly was | still bemoaning her loss on Saturday morning, when the postman whistled in Sidi SEA viii sity lh fi 50 Api iad aN the hall and called out:\u2014 Mrs.Kate O'Reilly.\u201d Mrs.O'Reilly hurried down stairs and was handed an official-looking document bearing the stamp of the United States Treasury Department.She tore it open, and was almost overcome on seeing a cheque for thirty-six dollars bearing the mame of the Treasury Department and several signatures.Along with it was a letter.stating that the ashes in the pocketbook had been examined under a glass and all that could be made out were sections of a ten, five five- dollar bills, and of a one-dollar bill.rs CANADIAN CABLES.Toronto,

made recently, and that it was agreed the Wabash was to use the G.T.R.terminals in Buffalo.When the line is formally opened it is expected that an immense quantity of freight will be shipped through
