\u201cm3 mine has already assayed $300 a ton.The company will be called the Joseph Ladue Gold Mining and Development Company of the Yukon.and will be capi- alized for 85,000,000.Ladue will act as cresident and general manager of the ompany, and will return to Dawson (\u201cty next spring with improved machin- «ry and a lirge force of men to operate :t Washington, Aug.16\u2014Mr.Adam, the British charge d'affaires, has telegraphed he Department of State that the cus- \u2018am charges on miners\u2019 outfits for Klondike, arriving from Dvea and other voints, are those authorized by the ordinary revenue laws of Canada.No special or unusual regulations were made.On the contrary, the instructions sent were tn exempt miners\u2019 blankets, personal clothing in use and broken packages of provisions being used, also cooking utensils in use.To make \u2018food all''wance,\u201d clear instructions have been given for the season to customs officers | a: Tagish to exempt a hundred pounds of fol for the journey, charging ordinary customs duty only on excess.TRIBUTE TO MAJOR WALSH.Kingston, Ont., Aug.16.\u2014Captain John Breden will go to the Klondike in the spring.He 1s greatly pleased that Major Wn has been made administrator of the territory.He had known the new ap- poles tor many vears, My opinion vou Watt ne sad.If the Hon.Mr.Sifton | ba! sarched the entire continent he.con! rot have found a more suitable | man or the place.No man in Canada is | better quaitied to perform the duties he! vil, lave to do, He and I were together ; \"OT se tine, in days gone by, and I \u201ca personal knowledge and ex- Fort Walsh, in Woody Moun- | can, ss paved for \u201cBob\u201d and in that!

a funeral in the vicinity.THE MIKADO\u2019S REPRESENTATIVE RETURNING HOME FROM THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE.His Excellency, the Marquis Ito, who, with Prince Arisugawa, represented the Mikado of Japan at the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen, is once more in Montreal on his way home.This illustrious person, who, it may be remembered, expressed himself freely to a \u2018Witness\u2019 representative on his outward journey, was filled with wonder and delight at all he saw in connection with the Jubilee, but more especially was he gratified with the attention and hospitality which those in authority bestowed upon the foreign visitors.The Marquis after the Jubilee, visited the capitals of the continent, and it waa stated that he had a political mission, This His Excellency mow denies, and states that he was simply upon a va- The Marquis speaks highly of Canada and its great natural resources, and expresses the hope that trade relations between the latter and Japan may increase in the near future.SUSPECTED SMALLPOX CASE.Dr.Laberge reports another case suspected to be smallpox.The patient is a voung married woman residing in the north end of St.André street.Dr.La- berge did not think it wise at the present juncture to give the name of the party affected for fear of mistakes arising in connection with people of the same name.As it was, the health authorities called by mistake on people of the same name, none of whom were sick, and who were somewhat indignant 'n consequence.The patient, in whom the disease has not yet perfectly developed, has been isolated, and the members of the family also have been carefully disinfected and isolated.In fact, every possible precaution has been taken to prevent any further spreading of the disease.(170007 ACER Toad - id aE ie SN otra DISTINGUISHED VISITORS; McGILL GIVES THEM A HEARTY WELCOME.Canada has been signally honored in having been selected as the meeting place of two such important bodies as the British Association for the Advancement of Science and the British Medical Asocia- tion\u2014the first representing comprehensive scientific learning, the second, authoritatively uttering the last word of \u2018materia medica\u2019; the one, august in dignity and erudition, the other, noble for fhe mighty work it represents in the as- suagement of pain and misery.The effect of these gatherings in our midst must make for closer intimacy and better, updagaianding, the meeling strengthened that in coming to Canada there is merely a stepping over into brcther\u2019s house, where a cordial welcom is sssured.For some time past prepars tions have been on foot to give the di tinguished visitors to the meeting of th Association for the Advancement of Sci ence a royal welcome in Montreal o their way through to Toronto.McGill University remembered th prestige associated with the former mee ing of this illustrious body in 1884, whe Sir William Dawson, as principal, wel: comed the guests to the University.The present authorities felt that though another city had now the honor of bidding the visitors welcome to Canada, courtesy ~ ) HA) (MMM KAY À ili A | YU VI GR a OO PO AL i M PS ¥ an + 0 9 UE NY res GTI La 4 A a ih oy (} VE PEN tA MTN NR ah N ing to recklessness, had his life not read like a romance for the last twenty-five years ?Did he not bear marks upon his person attesting the perils through which he passed; did he not disdain in the linen of civilization ?It was delightful ! At half-past ten o\u2019clock this morning the reception was held in the Redpath library of McGill University\u2014Dr.Johnson, vice-principal, receiving the guests, assisted by the following governors: \u2014 Messrs.Hugh McLennan, W.C.McDonald, C.J.Fleet, John Molson, George Hague and R.B.Angus.There were also present to do honor to the guests:\u2014 Prof.Bovey, Prof.Couissarat, Dr.Armstrong, Dr.McLeod, Prof.Moyse, Dr.Shepherd, Dr.Adami, Prof.McGoun, the Rev.Dr.Shaw, the Rev.Dr.Barclay, Dr.Roddick, Prof.Evans, Dean Mac- cachran, Dr.Reed, Dr.Ruttan, Prof, Nicholson, together with a large number of ladies.The names of the guests were announced at the door, and each bowed to the »-gevernors.- who -were formed-\u2014in- lime.When all were assembled there was half an hour\u2019s informal conversation.During this time old acquaintanceships were renewed, for not a few of those now present attended the great gathering in 1884.\u2018The latter expressed their unbounded astonishment at the transformation of McGill.At the time of the meeting of the British Association in 1884 McGill\u2019s material possessions consisted of the old arts building, the medical building and the Redpath Museum.She had prestige and learning, but little actual substance.Since then munificent patrons have provided the Workman buildings, the engineering, physics and mining and metallurgical buildings, the whole illustrating LORD LISTER.demanded that hospitality be shown those who might stay over for a little before the opening of the meeting.Accordingly, a formal reception was determined on, and the date fixed was this forenoon.A large number of members of both associations, accompanied by their lady friends, arrived on Saturday by the \u2018Parisian,\u2019 and put up at the Windsor Hotel, which, by the way, now accommodates over six hundred guests\u2014a record of summer travel which has not hitherto been approached, and which illus trates a gratifying revival of commercial prosperity\u2014Russel Sage, who is no mean judge, asseverating that the two tests of prosperity are the telegram and the tourist.In ail, there are probably two hundred members, with their friends, at present registered at the Windsor Hotel.Chief among these are Lord Lister, Sir John Evans and Colonel Selous.That is to say, chief for notability.Lord Lister stands at the head of the medical profession in England.Culture, patience, gentleness, humaneness, are stamped upon a lively countenance which expresses at once firmness, power and the sense of tolerance and compassion.The \u2018hauteur\u2019 which might be imagined in connection with such honor and distinction are quite absent; instead, one notes a kind, simple bearing, eyes that are aglow with soften: ed feeling, and a manner which reassures the most timid.Sir John Evans, as the president-elect of the British Association, was the cynosure of observation.He is a distinguished looking man, of about sixty years of age, and 1s known for his love of scientific research, although a large part of his life was spent in the pursuit of com- inerce.4 The most notable figure, however, is that of Colonel Selous, the great African hunter and explorer.Many were the eager looks cast in his direction.Had he not killed his lions by the score, his wild elephants by the dozen; had he not fought the Matabele in the last war; and, dar- ] RE Rr JC « RTS v., the marvellous advance made by this university in the facilities of modern teaching.While, in 1884, the visitors were impressed with the solid work of the university, there was the general conscious ness of limitation.The expansion witnessed this morning was pronounced to be little short of miraculous.Congratulations were fervent and incessant.The programme provided for the leisurely inspection of the several buildings uncer competent direction.Thus, Dr.Johnson and Prof.Callender were the cicerones in the physics department; Dr.Ruttan and Adami in- the medical; Professors Bovey, McLeod and Nicholson in the engineering and Professors Harrington and Adams in the natural science.Amongst those who accepted the invitation of the governors were Lord Lister, the Hon.Arthur Lister and the M:sses Lister (2); Sir John Evans and ladies, Prof.Beare, Dr.Hugh Robert Mill and wife, Major Spittall, Prof.Meldon, Lerdon ; Dr.Shore, Cambridge ; Chas.Derbishire, North Wales ; Mr.R.Aus ten and Mrs.Austen ; Mr.and Mrs.Hea- ton, Nottingham; Mr.and Mrs.and Miss Foster, London : Prof.Oliver Lodge, Liverpool ; W.H.Weldon, Westminster ; John Milne, London ; Ernest Farmouth and wife, Wolverhapmton ; J.S.Keltie, London ; A.(.Hodson, Cambridge ; S.P.Thompron, London ; C.Henkley and wife, London : J.E.Ewing, Cambridge ; Dr.Joseph Kane and wife, Yorkshire ; the Rev.A.T.Pelham, England ; the Rev.T.S.Lindsay, Dublin ; Sir William Turner, Dr.S.Turner, Mr.and Mrs.F.C.Relous, Mr.and Mrs.Clenderham, Fainburgh ; Dr.F.Blanbound, London; E.Cannon, Oxford; Prof.and Mrs.Ram- sav, London ; Prof.and Mrs.Foster, Cambridge : J.Jewel] and W.Horne, London ; Mr.and Mrs.Chadwick, London ; Prof.Rucker, London; Dr.and Mrs.H.Mill, London ; Monsignor Nu- gent, and Canon Kennedy, Liverpool ; Herne Payne, London ; Frank Usher, Edinburgh: C.W.Owen, Bristol, etc.At half-pact one the party reassembled in the William Molson Hall, where a luncheon had been prepared.Mr.Hugh McLennan, who presided, when all were seated, proposed the health of the Queen, which was drunk with much enthusiasm.The chairman proposed the toast of the Britich Association, to which Lord Lister gracefully replied.This was followed by the toast of Me- Gill University, proposed by Sir John Evans, and neatly replied to by Dr.Jchnson, the vice-principal, whose desire to do everything to further the pleasure and comfort of the guests was favorably commented upon.Mr.Charles W.Good, manager of the \u2018 Lancet,\u201d the well known medical journal, which is an authority upon all questions appertaining to the professicn, will be in attendance at both meetings.ee HAD NARROW ESCAPES.FIRES CAUSED BY COAL OIL.At half-past four this morning there was a serious fire at the residence of Mr.FE.Pelletier\u201d No.462 Tasaîte street.TE occurred through the explosion of a coal oil lamp in one of the bedrooms.All the inmates were asleep, and had barely time to make their escape in their night apparel.Considerable damage was done, and Mr.Pelletier lost everything, but has an insurance of six hundred dollars.The entire damage is much in advance of this amount.At No.21 Upper Berri street there was another fire on Sunday night at half-past nine, cansed by a coal oil lamp explosion.The damage in this instance amounts to a hundred dollars.=== ELECTING A SUPERIORESS.The election of a new Superioress- General and other officers for the Sisters of the Grey Nunnery took place on Saturday.Archbishop Bruchesi presided, and twenty-five missions of the order were represented in the proceedings.The result of the ballot was as follows :- The Rev.Sister Filiatrault, superioress- general ; the Rev.Sister Hamel, first assistant ; the Rev.Sister Ward, second as- sisant ; the Rev.Sister Painchaud, third assistant ; the Rev.Sister Roy, mistress of novices.The Rev.Sister Filiatrault was Superioress-General once before, and since the death of the Rev.Sister Des- champs she occupied the pesition of acting Superioress.eet VICTORIA JUBILEE BRIDGE.The first portion of the iron for the erecting span is now in position at the entrance of the bridge on the Pant Bt.Charles side of the river.The iron for the steam\u2019 derricks and the bridge is being received from Detroit and examined by a -customs officer.There are five of the piers already extended and ready for the erection spans, and the work at both ends is making good progress.The president, Sir Charles Rivers-Wilgon, will visit the structure again before returning to England.3 -\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MEECH IN JAIL.HE IS STILL FAR FROM WELL AND HIS CONDITION YESTERDAY WAS ALARMING.Meech, the milkman charged with shocting Last at the Back River, is in the jail infirmary, and yesterday became so ill that the jail physician was sent tor.The latter has restricted Meech's diet to bread, tea and quinine as a tonic, and this morning the man was much improved.It is expected that Meech will be able to plead in two weeks\u2019 time.ret CONVENTION OF SCOTTISH CLANS, The annual convention of the International Order of Scottish Clans opens in Montreal to-morrow.Some three hundred delegates are expected to be in attendance, many of whom will arrive in the city this evening.Organized only about sixteen years ago, this order has had a remarkable growth, numbering now about twenty thousand members.It has paid over a thousand death claims, besides benefits for sickness and other causes.The convention will continue three days, and on the evening of Wednesday the delegates will be entertained by the Highland Cadets at the Drill Hall, when the colors will be trooped in their honor.SASKATCHEWAN GOLD FIELDS.Chevalier G.A.Drolet has secured from the federal government a twenty years\u2019 permit to operate on sixty miles of the Saskatchewan river, between Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan and Victoria, for the purpose of extracting gold and platinum.A company of Canadian and American capitalists has been organized, and Mr.Drolet will shortly leave to organize operations in the new gold field.- A RAILWAY COLLISION.Toronto, Aug.16.\u2014It was reported at the office of the gencral superintendent of the Canadian Pacific Railway that the passenger train in charge of Engineer Johnson collided with a Grand Trunk freight engine shunting at Port Credit on Saturday morning.Both engnes were derailed and the baggage car of the passenger train, bu\u2018! no one was hurt.The track was speedily cleared and the passengers taken on to Hamilton.At one o'clock traffic was going on as usual.Engineer Johnson was said to have been hurt, but no confirmation of this can be secured.DEATH ON BACHELORS.A WOMAN HAS NO USE FOR THEM AS POLITICIANS.Boston, Mass.,, Aug.16.\u2014Mrs.Char lotte Smith, who has taken an active interest in woman's rescue league work.has written letters to the chairmen of the Democratic and Republican city committees protesting against the nomination of mayoralty candidate, this fall, of Josiah, Quincy and Edwin U.Curtis, respectively, because they are bachelors, The letter says: \u2014\u2018Bachelors have always been failures as chief magistrates and legislators in this and every other country.Both your candidates are bachelors, and bachelor politicians are narrow-minded, selfish, egotistical and cowardly.David B.Hill, of New York, Who posed as the cindidate, is a typical\u201d illustration of this class of men He ie morally selfish.\u2019 She suggests the formation of anti- bachelor clubs, and adds: \u2014\u2018We have too many temporarily married politicians on the market.IS IT ANDREE'S BALLOON ?LARGE AIR SHIP SIGHTED GOING LAST, SOUTH-EAST NEAR NORWAY.Stavanger, Norway, Aug.16.\u2014The steamer \u2018Konghalfdan,\u201d which has just arrived here, reports that at ten minutes to five o'clock a.m.on Saturday she sighted, between Haugesund and Ryvar- den, a large balloon going east-south- east at an altilude of fifteen hundred feet.A guide rope about four hundred feet long depended from the car.It was thought probable that this was the balloon of Cetti, the aerunaut, who ascended yesterday at Urendal, with a south-easterly wind blowing, but it is now known that the balloon sighted hy the steamer was not that of the aero- naut Cetti, as he descended safely vester- day.-_ KINGSTON DISTRICT CROP OUTLOOK.Kingston, Ont, Aug.16 \u2014Messrs.Richardson Bros., extensive grain dealers of this city, give out the following information regarding the crops in this section : As we are getting into the harvest we are better able to judge what the yield will be.In the first place the fail wheat wns cut and ripe just when the heavy rain of three weeks ago took plac:, and much of this crop is so badly damaged that it cannot be manufactured into flour.Farmers who were fortunate enough to get their crop into the barn escaped this and have grain of good quality.For spring wheat there has been too much wet weather.Samples brought here are disappointing, being light in weight and not many kernels to the ear.We estimate the crop at from ten to fifteen bushels to the acre at the outside.Peas also suffered from vet weather just after seed time and never fully recovered.Early sown peas are probably half a crop.Late sown peas cannot yet be estimated, Lut taking the crop altogether we think that sev- enty-five percent is a fair estimate.There 18 some talk of rust and light weight among oats.The crop will not produce to the acre over sixty-five percent of last season.The hay crop was an average one.Clover was good and the root crop should be good.Corn for fodder will be fairly good.The price of\u2019cheecse has held up.The price of hogs has been much better than lat year.Ihe quantity raised has been fifty percent in excess of last season.Taking it all in all, the farmers have nothing to complain of, because prices will likely be somewhat better for grain.which will counterbalance the deficiency in yield.Hamilton, Ont., Aug.16.\u2014\u2014At a threshing at Vine Vale Farin, Salt Fleet Township, on Friday, the yieid from a Rix- teen and a half acres crop of wheat was 892 bushels, an average of fifty-four bushels to the acre.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014> DEATH SENTENCE FOR \u2018COLLI.\u201d Madrid, Aug.16.\u2014Michel Angilolillo, alias

AUG.16.MGR.BRUCHESI'S MANDEMENT.THE NEW ARCHBISHOP'S HOPES FOR THE FUTURE.\u2014\u2014 The inaugural mandement, or pastoral letter, of Archbishop Bruchesi was read in all the Roman Catholic churches vesterday.The document is an elaborate one, written in elegant style, replete with quotations from the scripture, and characterized by a Christian spirit.The archbishop opens with a greeting to alll those under his charge, and after refer-' and predecessor, relates the ring to the virtue ability of his circumetances under which the episcopal dignity came to him.In this connection he says:\u2014 \u2018God 1s witness that we neither desired; nor sought this honor.How could we, | we who understood so well the responsi! bilities of such a dignity and the heavy burden which it imposes.To desire the honor would be a crime, but to shrink from the burden would be an act of cowardice.The Lord called us and we came; he commanded us and we obeyed.\u2019 He then goes on to state that, as help from heaven is needed for the election of a bishop, so divine grace is also necessary for the carrying out of his important and responsible mission, and he therefore implores the pravers of all.Referring then to the difficulties of the moment, the pastoral says: \u2014 \u2018It is everywhere repeated, our very dear brethren that we are in the midst of difficult times, and those especially who command, realize this and are saddened by the fact.Has not the faith diminished in many souls, and have not principles become relaxed?Have not the notions as to the rights of the Church and the duties of the faithful been obscured under the influences of passion?Has not the pre-occupation of material interests unfortunately divided hearts that were made to be united?Have there not arisen regrettable misunderstandings, between the people and the clergy, which have caused people and clergy to suffer alike?There is a remedy for these wrongs; there is a balm for the cure of all our wounds, and we bring it to you; it is the charity of Jesus Christ.Yes, a new and Dbene- ficent era will open for our country, if we know how to forget our past differences; allow ourselves to be guided by the Supreme Pastor of the Church and its legitimate leaders, and unite in that divine charity, the effects of which have been so marvellously described by St.Paul.Yes, our dear brethren, do all things in charity.This is our prayer for vou, as it was the prayer of the Apostle for his well beloved, \u2018Let your charity go on increasing, for there is the ecurce of all geod and gauge of all happiness.\u2019 The document closes with the follow- _FOURTHTTURN Homo leads by 3M 53s, _FITHETURN:.= Homo Leads byk4 M: \" PE z or - x Fl A NISH, Momo Wine By 41159) THE INTERNATIONAL RACES.On

others wore as cuff buttons coins with the image of Menelek.It was Albertone himself who, drinking a toast to the health of the great emperor, turned toward one of our fellow countrymen and said : \u2018\u2018Are we not courteous \"\u201d To which the Frenchman replied, \u201cMon Dieu, sir; I never saw a Frenchman drinking to the health of the Emperor William 77° The Count of Turin is a prince of the Italian blood royal, and therefore of I'rince Henri's rank.He is a member of the house of Savoy-Aosta, and was born at Turin in 1870.He is the son of the late Duke of Aosta, a nephew of King Humbert, and holds the rank of major in the Italian cavalry.His challenge created a rather anomalous situation, for the Count being the brother of the present Duke of Aosta.is the bro- ther-in-law of Prince Henri\u2019s cousin, the Princess Helene, whom the Duke of Aosta married in 1395.Prince Henri of Orleans was born on Oct.16, 1867, and is the eldest son of Prince Robert Philippe D'Orleans, Duc Je Chartres.Aug.16-\u201412.300 p.m\u2014Prince Paris, ; Henri of Orleans, who was wounded in the lower part of the right side of the abdomen yesterday morning in a duel fought with the Count of Turin, nephew of the King of Italy, passed a quiet night.His condition is now considered by hig physicians to be satisfactory.General Albertone, the Italian officer, has withdrawn his challenge.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AR.TARTE AT GODERICH.WAS WARMLY WELCOMED AND ROYALLY ENTERTAINED.Goderich, Ont., Aug.16.\u2014The Hon.J.Israel Tarte, Minister of Public Works, accompanied by Chief Engineer Coste, arrived here on Saturday at 1.30 p.m.The Mimister wus met at the station by the Town Council and a large delegation of influentiai residents, and enthusiastically received.After introductions had been made, a procession of carmiages was form- eid, which, headed by the town band, pro- ceened to the Court licuse vhere a large asremilage awaited the Minister.Mis appearance was the signal for hearty cheers, after which an address of welcome on behalf of the citizens and town council, was read by Mr.A.MeD.Allan, chairman of the citizens\u201d committee.The lon.Mr.Tarte, in reply, thanked the council and people of Goderich for the enthusiastic reception that had been given him, and which he understood to be outside of political party ties.le was on a business tmp so that Lhe would become fully acquainted with matters pertaining to the department of which he was the head.But receptions such as the present had the effect of adding pleasure to the performance of duty.lle 356, Jean TER oe wees Trae iy A | | .was glad to see that Goderich was in such a prosperous condition from natural causes, as, on that account the town would not expect very much from the government, but he knew that Goderich harbor was a harbor of refuge, which had to be kept in good condition, and as early as 1896 the matter of the weakness of the breakwater had been brought to his knowledge, and this had been repeated in 1807 when he finally had placed in the estimates $55,000 to be expended in having the work properly done.That greater progress had not been made in the work since last March was not the fault of the government, and he would see to it before he left the town that it wculd be properly taken hold of and pushed to a rapid conclusion.Ile again thanked those present for the kind reception accorded him and resumed his seat amid loud cheers.The minister and the delegation then proceeded to the Hotel Bedford where a capital luncheon was spread, the chair being occupied by Acting Mayor Thompson, who was toast master for a list including the Queen, the Governor-General and the Minister of Public Works, The Hon, Mr.Tarte, in his after-dinner speech, put himself in the good graces of all present by an able and witty address, in which he reiterated his desire to do his duty by the public and towns all over the country, where a judicious expenditure would be in the public interest.He had thus far given every tender to the lowest tenderer compatible with good work and irrespective of the politics of the tenderer, and would continue to do so.He advocated harmony between the people of the several.provinces so that Canada would become what it ought to be, a great and glorious nation, and clos ed by a tribute to the good intentions of Canada\u2019s public men in their efforts to work out a grand destiny for their country.The party then took carriages and the Minister inspected the breakwater, the harbor piers and the public buildings of the town.In the evening he was serenaded by the town band and a large number of the citizens, Liberals and Conservatives alike, turned out to the reception given him on the grounds of the resident member of Parliament.Mr.Tarte left to-day for Kincardine to inspect the works now in course of comstruction at that place.Kingston, Ont., Aug.16.\u2014The Board of Trade of this city has passed a vote of thanks to the Hon.Mr.Tarte, being heartily pleage:dl at the Minister's promises in regard to public works here.C ADVERTISEMENTS.72 OLONIAL HOUSE, PHILLIPS SQUARE, Hair Pins, Buckles, Belts, Brooches, 4 Cuff Links, Stick Pins, Watch Chains, Hat Pins, Blouse Setts, Back Combs, Side Combs.The above goods will be found on the centre table, and being samples, are marked at the rate of Bc ON THE DOLLAR.AN INN NSN ASIII NS NSN INN NSN A HENRY MORGAN & CO MONTREAL.A GOOD START FOR THE EIGHTH YEAR.i with our seven years progress.would put us in the cld-fogy line.year.e BELTS and BUCKLES, Just one of those little details that add so much to the effect of a costume, and cost so little here.Buckles worth from ?25c to 30c for Sc each.Tinsel Belts, worth 60c for 19c.GLOVES.A well gloved woman is a well dressed woman.Doesn't cost much at our prices.Silk Taffeta and Cashmere Gloves, worth from 10c to 50c a pair, for half price.VEILINGS.Veilings in all the latest fads and colors.worth from 15c to 50c now at half price.LACES.A basket overflowing with them;

the persons who saw him last, had committed suicide in Cincinnati, Miss Mitchell's friends live in Toronto and they deny that there is any connection between the death of Miss Mitchell and the disappearance of Slater.A despatch from Cincinnati states that Miss Edna Mitchell a nurse at the Jewish Hospital, ended her existence early on Friday morning.by taking a number of morphia tablets.It wus about three o'clock when Miss l.ot- tie McLean, another nurse, found Miss Mitchell lving on a couch in one of the wards in an unconscious condition.She at once sounded the alarm and Doctors Krouse and Zerner responded in a hurry.A hasty examination revealed the fret that Miss Mitchell was suffering from morphia poisoning.All was done to save the life of the unfortunate girl, but without avail,

importation of the material from the United States.The site of the new elevator will be half a block from elevator B, and its construction will necessitate the removal of the boathouses which fringe the Kaministiquis in that vicinity As the new elevator must be completed by the first of the month in 1898 an extra supply of workmen will be necessary.It is calculated that between six hundred and a

gives away a great deal when he allows thz \u2018Patrie\u2019 in its sectionalism to apply the word \u2018western\u2019 to the harbor front.ingenuous than to treat a series of piers extending from two hundred feet above the custom house to the Bonsecours Anything more dis- market as a western work could not be conceived.This harbor work has always been mulcted in the interests of the east end of the city.In order to get the city grant through some years ago to a werk which was equally for the benefit of the whole trade of the city, a lot of east end works were made sharers in it, and this process has been repeated on pain of determined obstruction en the part of the whole east end press and all east end politicians whenever anything has been done for the harbor.Yet the \u2018Patrie\u2019 sets up the plaint of sectional ism against those who try to prevent the harbor not from being plundered\u2014it has always consented to that\u2014but from being deliberately ruined by a minister of the Crown in the interests of a party of east end schemers.\u2014__œ Saturday was the \u2018Momo\u2019s\u2019 day ; to-day is the \u2018Glencairn\u2019s.\u201d Consternation prevailed throughout the crowds ashore and afloat when it was seen that the \u2018Momo\u2019 from the very first sailed straight away But the dismay was mixed with generous admiration of the \u2018Momo\u2019and her skipper and crew, who were regarded on all hands as splendid antagonists, seeing that they could with such apparent ease leave the \u2018Glencairn\u2019 and Duggan and his crew behind.Many left the racing course on Saturday after- poon quite unaware of the fact that the \u2018Glencairn\u2019 had lost the race from the start by fouling the buoy in getting over the line, and that she had been merely making an interesting race for the holiday crowd by doing her best in a disabled condition with a hole in her hull, to speed the \u2018Momo,\u2019 and they went home thinking the \u2018Glencairn\u2019 was not In it with the \u2018Momo,\u2019 and that the cup was, virtually lost, With her hull patched up and everything right and tight today, however, the \u2018Glencairn\u2019 has, with the aid of good, fresh breezes, set the \u2018Momo\u2019 a different pace.From the start to the finish to-day the \u2018Glencairn\u2019 has led, and with even more apparent ease than the \u2018Momo\u2019 did under the conditions prevailing on Saturday.Cana- aians greeted the victory of the \u2018Momo\u2019 on Saturday, and they will hail the vie- tory of the \u2018Glencairn\u2019 to-day.from the \u2018Glencaim.\u2019 THE AFGHAN TROUBLE.There is unhappily too much reason to regard as true the reports from India that the Ameer of Afghanistan is in sympathy with and has encouraged, if he has not actually instigated and aided, the recent revolts of the Waziri and Swat tribes along the Indian frontier.raids and revolts on the part of petty clans are of frequent recurrence in the mountain districts between India and Afghanistan.Almost evury year there are two or three of them, the small British garrisons far up the valleys which pierce Afghanistan being constantly on the defensive against the surrounding hillsmen.Many tribes have been brought into subjection, but the frontier of India has heen ever advancing and new trib:smen have constantly to be overcome.These Small Pathan tribesmen have always been semi- Sa IY Perr gOS en THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.independent, only acknowledging the authority of Cabul, when the reigning Ameer happened to be strong enough to force them to do so.By an agreement between the present Ameer, Abdur Rah- man Khan, and the Indian Government, concluded in 1893 by Sir Mortimer Du- rand, Waziristan was attached to India, and Kaffirstan to the Ameer.The boundary was laid down so that there could not be any dispute about territory.It was in Waziristan that the first serious revolt which was joined by thousands of the tribesmen of the Afghanistan side of the border, and encouraged hy the Ameer\u2019s governor, took place and an attack was made upon a British garrison.It is reported tha: some troops of the Amieer\u2019s regular army were engaged.The , outbreak in the Swat valley, on the way to Chitral, was in sympithy with the Waziri revolt.Abdur Rahman is one of the ablest of ruling native princes.Ile is a grandson of Dost Mohammed, and raised the northern tribesmen of Afghanistan against Yakoub Khan, who had been placed on the throne by the British.After being defeated, he fled to Russia, which supported his claim to the ruler- ship of Cabul.When in 1879 Sir Louis Cavignari\u2019s assassination in Cabul compelled the British to unseat Yakoub Khan, Abdur Rahman was invited to accept the throne from the Indian Government.Under him Afghanistan has been firmly ruled, and the British have until the last few months found him a faithful ally.He is a G.C.B.and G.C.S.I.has received gifts of old Snider rifles and ammunition from the Indian Government, and British artisans have established gun and ammunition factories at Cabul.He has also enjoyed an annual subsidy of eighteen lacs of rupees from the Indian Government, nominally nine hundred thousand dollars, but not at the present price of the rupee, amounting to nearly so much.He was ir.clined to dispute the right of the British to chastise the Chitral tribesmen, who were within his territories, but that was supposed to have been amicably arranged.He has recently had religious ambitions and assumed the title of \u2018Light of Union and Religion.\u201d It is feared that the recent success of the Turks has inflamed this ambition and that his messages to the tribesmen about his mission as the leader of a holy war are meant to be re garded seriously.The total defeat .of the tribesmen and the prospect of the loss of hig subsidy will, it is to be hoped, bring him to a better mind.In any case, the British are now quite prepared for any emergency in that quarter.They command comparatively easy passes and have a railway to Candahar.A war with Afghanistan is, however, a costly affair, as the Afghans are fearless wur- riors, and the Ameer has now a standing army of fifty thousand troops, only a few of which have been trained in the use of the modern arms, of which the Ameer has sufficient to equip all, -

contend.Until the year 1835 the very word \u2018socialism\u2019 was un- with krown to the English language, and it owes its origin to the politico-economic doctrines of Robert Owen, which, however, it is only simple justice to say had little ig common with the modern views to which the term is applied.As orig- nally promulgated, the theory had a direct tendency towards communism or col- According to Schiffle, one of its earlier apostles on the Continent, \u2018the \u2018alpha and omega of socialism is the \u201ctransformation of private competing \u2018 capital into a united collective capital\u2019 ; and Held goes a step farther, saying: \u2018 We may define as socialistic every ten- \u2018 dency which demands the subordination \u2018of the individual will to that of the \u2018 community.\u201d At the present day a number of political theorists and their followers, closely allied in practice with the school of I.cuis Blane, profess an economic creed which they call \u2018Christian socialism,\u201d but orthodox socialists in general do not concern themselves with religious tenets or obligations of any kind.As one of their number\u2014Bax-\u2014 puts it, \u2018Socialism is essentially neither religious nor irreligious,\u201d and in the programme of the German socialists it is expressly provided that religion is altogether a matter of private concern.lectivism.Anarchism seems always to have its root in socialism, though how this can be is not easy to explain.Socialism, as described above by Held, is the absolute enemy of personal liberty, though others of his schoo] would allow liberty in things spiritual, possibly because they regard such things as unreal.In absolutely denying liberty socialism is the very antithesis of anarchism, which demands unlimited liberty for each individual.Society in this world always has been and always must be some compromise between these two extremes, both of which are on the face of then impossible and absurd ; and indeed sans apostles of either creed, whatever their ideals may set before them as an ultimate goal when the race shall have risen to their standards, are content to demand for the present comparatively reasonable things.The German socialists\u2019 demands are : First, universal suffrage ; second, direct legislation by the people in all important matters, as, for example, peace or war ; third, universal military service, no standing army ; fourth, abolition of press and other repressive laws ; fifth, free administration of justice, elective judiciary ; sixth, universal education by state.It will be seen that the tendency of these demands is directly towards collectivicm, certainly not towards anarchy, and the teaching of Karl Marx, the most influential of the German socialists, whilst theoretically resembling that of Proudhon, is much more practical.The theory of both relative to capital and property is to all intents the same.This theory is briefly summed up in Proudhon\u2019s assertion : \u2018Property is theft,\u201d inasmuch as it appropriates the value produced by others in the form of rent, interest or profits without rendering an equivalent.However, \u2018easy is the descent to Avernus,\u201d and equally easy seems to be the transition from socialism to anarchism.Thus, Proudhon in France only two years after the advent of Owens\u2019s socialism, proclaimed that \u2018government of man by man \u2018in every form is oppressive.The high- \u2018est perfection af society is found in the \u2018 mission of order and anarchy.\u2019 Bakunin, the Russian agitator and active participator in many anarchist disturbances at a later date, expands this doctrine, if it can be dignified by such a term, as follows : \u2018The liberty of man consists sole- \u2018ly in this, that he obeys the laws of na- \u2018 ture because he has himself recognized \u2018 them as such, and not because they have \u2018been imposed upon him externally by \u2018any foreign will whatsoever, human or \u2018 divine, collective or individual, In a \u2018word, we object to all legislation, all \u201cauthority and all influence, privileged, \u2018 patented, official or legal, even when it \u2018 has proceeded from universal suffrage.\u2019 This man, it will be seen, who in his day probably exercised a more direct and potent influence upon the anarchists of Europe, particularly those of Spain and Italy, than any other agitator, had already left communism far behind and positively rejects the notion of any or all authority.For him there was neither a celestial nor a terrestrial controlling power, individual or communistic.It is not pretended, however, that either Proudhon or Bakunin employed the word \u2018anarchy\u2019 in the sense in which it is commonly understood.To them it implied scmething very different to a condition of uncontrolled chaos.They meant it to denote an ethical condition, an absence of external government and the presence of such a degree of human enlightenment as would constitute man's mentality a law to himself and render foreign interference as impertinent as it would be unnecessary.This happy condition would, or should, eonfer upon man absolute freedom and the gratification of his desires without any limitation other than the possibilities of nature and the legitimate corresponding desires of his neighbor.Unfortunately, preachers of anarchism overlook the fact that while it is easy to move the masses by persuasive bribes of unlimited license and the enjoyment of all property in common, men are far from having attained that degree of refined intelligence which, according to theory, is the necessary precursor, or at least companion, of a self-controlled existence.In fact, as has been well said, they are urgent to make the last step before taking the first one.The natural sequence of all such teaching, therefore, no matter how excellent or virtuous may be the individual originators of it, is revolution pure and simple, and the adoption of means to that end which shall ignore all bonds of public duty or private affection.That this is not unjust to these pseudo-reformers the following quotation from Bakunin will show : \u2018The \u2018 revolutionist is a consecrated man, who \u2018will allow no private interests or feel- -~ Monpay, Avausr 16, 1897, \u2018irgs and no scruples of religion, patriot- \u2018ism or morality to turn him aside from \u2018his mission, the aim of which is by \u2018all

ple, but it is the concern of the coming \u2018 generation.\u201d Presumably it is in contemplation of logical results from such \u2018 isting society.self-abnegation that a very recent author, Bax, says : \u2018It is towards the world \u2018when civilization shall have ceased to \u2018be that the socialist of to-day casts his \u2018eyes.\u2019 It is not surprising that under the baneful influence of such doctrines: there should be found men who, carried away by mistaken conviction of duty bred of incipient insanity, offer themselves as instruments for the murder of a czar of Russia, or impelled by zeal begot of the crudest ignorance, or influ enced by the far more despicable desire of notoriety.take the life of a Carnot or a Canovas, although how such a proceeding can be justified as either the fruit or the seed of ethical enlightenment is more than the average man is likely to comprehend.It is, however, quite in keeping with Proudhon\u2019's paradox of \u201corder and anarchy.\u201d It is a striking | fact, and not without its moral, that the Russian nation, which has made itself most remarkable during the latter part of this century by its anarchistic or nihilistic tendencies, was also the latest in Europe to join the ranks of civilization, and it is also noteworthy, as well as in the hiphest degree satisfactory, that in nearly every instance where some desperate deed has been committed by anarchists, popular sympathy is exhibited, not with the perpetrator, but with the victim.HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 Sir,\u2014I have read with amusement the long article in the \u2018Patrie\u2019 in regard to the harbor improvements.Mr.Tarte says that in a few years the trade of the harbor will be increased teu- fold.In order to accommodate this increased business every plan he has submitted has given less accommodation than that given by Plan No.6.In a harbor In| which every foot of space is valuable, he | makes basing six hundred feet wide, when every merchant and shipper considers three hundred feet sufficient.Now It does considerable not take much of a schoolboy to demon- | strate the advantage of economizing twelve hundred feet of river front, whether it be in the east or west.Mr.Tarte ignores completely the fact that while we can extend the harbor to Bout de l'Ile not one foot can it be extended to the west without expropriating city property.Hence the necessity of utilizing every foot of the river front next the canal.Every one will be delighted when the time arrives to extend.the harbor eastward of the sugar refinery.At present there is ample accommodation in this section of the harbor.The splendid pier at the sugar refinery, which cost over three hundred thousand dollars, has never been tested to ite full capacity.Mr.Tarte wants larger basine\u2014six hundred feet wide\u2014whil2 it has been shown that an ocean steamer of sixty feet beam, an elevator of twenty feet and a lake vessel of thirty feet can lie opposite each other in a three-hundred foot basin and have a passage of eighty feet for the steamer to pass.And there are navigators still in existence who will have the courage to take the steamer through such a danger ous pass.I have no hesitation in saying that every plan submitted up to date has been a base imitation of Plan No.6, with almost the same expense and less accommodation.The discussion has been of service, however.We now have a plan submitted which, at the same expense, gives berths for twenty vessels.Now we shall see if Mr.Tarte is sincere in saying that he has only the good of the public at heart.Mr.Tarte complains that an attempt has been made to frighten him by interested parties.If he alludes to me, I do not own a foot of property on the river front.I have one property on Commissioners street, which I bought very cheap.I now offer it to Mr.Tarte or any of his friends at ten percent less than actual cost.Mr.Tarte deprecates the racial ery.At the first meeting of the Board of Trade, called some months sir.ce to discuss the harbor question, it was freely stated in private conversation that the Harbor Commissioners had received a letter from Mr.Tarte to the effect that he had nine hundred thousand dollars ready to spend on the harbor improvements, provided the commissioners spend five hundred thousand dollars on the eastern section of the harbor and four hundred thousand dollars on the western section of the harbor concurrently.This, if true, was sectionalism with a vengeance.The eastern section of the harbor is completed and in splendid condition for all the trade offering at present.Tf this statement is true Mr.Tarte is the offender\u2014and no one else.Tor my part I shall always be delighted to support progress in the eastern section of the harbor.The fact is that Mr.Tarte, by his utter ignorance on the question, which is entirely an engineering one, has delaved the progress of improvement in the harbor for one year.Up to this point I have scrupulously avoided (wavs successful), i of our social, - 0 .or re TT to discuss the question from the standpoint of public utility.We old men who remember the Youngs and Cramps of the \u2018olden dayvs\u2019\u2014 men whose every effort was devoted to the development of the great waterways of our country, must be forgiven if we feel grieved and mortified at the childishness and inanity of the modern politician with his petty selfishness and a single eye to patronage.It is a matter of general remark that the course pursued towards the ITarbor Commissioners has been distinguished by singular want of confidence in their capacity to decide for the best intereats of the harbor.Ther are for the most part chosen by the government of which Mr.Tarte forms part, and I for one would be content to ahide by their decision, having full confidence in their wisdom and disinterestedness, but Mr.Tarte treats them \u2018en maitre d ecole.\u2019 How long will they submit * G.W.STEPHENS.es A DISCLAIMER AND A CHAL- * LENGE.(To the Editor of the \u2018 Witness\u2019) Sir,\u2014As you on Saturday translated and printed an article from the \u2018Cour rier du Canada,\u201d in which the Montreal correspondent of the \u2018Province,\u2019 (British Columbia), was stigmatized as a \u2018Francophobe,\u2019 \u2018fanatic,\u2019 \u2018insulter of our women,\u2019 \u2018ventilator of filth,\u201d etc, and thereby accorded to the same a degree of publicity which it could otherwise never have guined, I claim the right to reply.Had the article been confined to the paper in which it originated, it would have given me no rort of concern, as I quite understand the old game (al- of the French press to dub him \u2018fanatic,\u2019 and \u2018Francophole; who dares to offer the slightest criticism religious or educational system.So well is this understood in every relation that even our English aldermen acquiesce in measures which are plainly intended to depress the minority and exclude them from participation in the civic administration, fearing that stigma which carries with it social opprobrium in a community where cne can only hope for countenance if he yields the situation to the overwhelming force of opposing numbers.The article in the \u2018Province, which provoked the fulmination of the \u2018Cour rier du Canada,\u2019 dealing with the enormous waste of child-life in the city dur ing our hot spell, stated three things.First, that the system of early marriages amongst our French-Canadian people produced a numerous, but, for the most part, frail offepring.unfitted to cope with the climatic extremes; second.that the women of our working class suffered from ignorance of the hygiene of child- life, such as the selection and cooking of the proper foods, ete.; third, that the opposition of the masses of our people to vaccination, had been friendly, in the past, at least, to the spread of disease amongst us.Now, these statements may be open to dispute, although they accord with my own observation and experience, and are consonant with the declaration of French-Canadian physicians in 1885, during our small-pox epidemic; but.how, in the name of all that is malignant, can they be called \u2018Francophobic) \u2018fanatical,\u201d or \u2018filthy\u201d The person using such epithets is

A rush and a shout, and school is out, and the street is thronged with boys and girls, whose happy faces tell of bright anticipations and 1reedom from all care.No more lessons now for two whole months! .look at them as they crowd each other wn their eagerness to get as far from school and 1ts restraints as possible.One Loy tosses his cap in the air, another catches 1t and throws iv to the next, and on it goes; he will have to have a mn for it now.Another is vigorously making a windmill of his schoolbag, and yet an other advances by successive somersaults- lhe crowd begins to thin as they form into groups and turn down the different streets leading to their several homes.We cannot follow them all, but { must look for \u2018our boys.\u201d There are three of them.They are not my boys, nor even do 1 know their parents personally, out they are boys in whom we all may take an interest, therefore I have called them \u2018our boys.\" Where can they be to-day?They cannot be still in school.If 1 could | see one I would be sure of the others, as they are nearly always together.Oh, yes, \u2018 l might know, there is Dick Cameron \u2018 away off in the front.It would not be Dick if he was not leader.And there is! Bob MeDonald right beside him, and, as.usual, Harold Foster is just a little way behind.If he is not with them you may be assured he won't be far away.At the last mo.nent the principal had announced that a prize of ten dollars would be given for the best essay written on any subject they wished to select.The competition was open to the whole school.The teacher of the second grade, or \u2018highest fourth,\u2019 had told her scholars she hoped they would not let the rest of the school eclipse them.They would have plenty of time, she said, as the essays would not be examined before the first of September.So this was the subject that Dick Cameron and Bob McDonald were discussing as they wended their way homewards.\u2018I'll tell you what it is, Dick,\u2019 said Bob, \u2018I would not like to get up an essay and then be knocked out by some other fellow in the \u2018highest fifth.\u201d\u2019 \u2018Nothing venture nothing win, you know.Why the greater the competition the more fun) By this time the three boys were together, and Dick slowly threw one arm around Harold's shoulders as they turned down the next street.\u2018Oh !\u2019 said Harold, \u2018look at those men; they are cutting down that beautiful tree.\u2019 \u2018Why, so they are,\u2019 said Dick, and Bob in a breath.\u2018Now, what are they doing that for, I wonder,\u201d said Bob.\u2018They are going to build on the lot, I guess.Yes, there are the foundation stones,\u201d said Dick.As the boys drow near to the tree, Harold said: \u2018I am so sorry to see that tree go, my mother loved it so.I have often heard her remark on its beauty, and now they are hewing it down.We will miss it so much\u2019 Harold seemed to take it so much to heart that the boys laughed.\u2018It is only a tree after all, Harold, and it had to go some time,\u2019 said Bob.\u2018I feel bad, too, as it was a regular landmark to me.Say, Dick, how often wz have started our races from that old tree\u2014Oh, oh, down she goes ! 1 tell you that fellow had to make a quick jump for it to get out of the way.\u2018Well, boys, I turn here,\u201d said Harold, as they were about to part.\u2018Say, Harold, can you come over to the island to-morrow ?We are going,\u2019 said Bob.\u2018I will ask mother and let you know le- fore two o'clock,\u201d said Harold, and they parted.When Harold reached home his mother was waiting for him.\u2018Oh, Harold, dear,\u201d she said, \u2018I have been so anxious for your return; you seemed longer than usual to-day.Did vou come straight home from school ?\u201d \u2018Yes, mother, I did, only Dick Cameron and Bob McDonald were along and we did not hurry.We stopped a short while to watch some men chop down a tree.You know the tree well, mother, that one that stood in the middle of the lot at the corner of Rusholme road.\u2019 \u2018Do you tell me they have cut down that dear old tree! Oh, what a pity! I just loved that tree.Tt was a perfect picture.But now, my dear, I have been wanting vou to go a message for me.Your father has been very busy to-day, trying to finish some pictures, and they are almost finished; but they have failed to send the frames from the factory, so I want you to go and tell them he is waiting for them.Run, dear, or they won't be in time\u2019 When Harold returned he told his mother all about the essay competition.He also told her that Dick Cameron and Bob McDonald were going to the island the following afternoon and that they wanted him to go, too.\u2018Well,\u2019 she said, \u2018if vou know them to be good truthful boys yow may go; but be sure and he home in time to have tea with your father\u2019 The next day Harold joined his friends, and together they started for the island.It only took the ferry a few minutes to cross.It was a delightful day.and the bovs made the most of it.They did some fishing and had pretty good luck too.they were tired.Just a short time before returning they threw themselves un.Then they rambled around until der a tree to rest, and commenced talking about their holidays.\u2018What are you going to do, Bob ?\u2019 said Dick.\u2018Oh, I am going away into the country to a regular old-fashioned farm.I i am expecting a fine time.What about yourself ; where are vou going 7\u2019 \u2018I think I am going into the back \u201c country too, unless I go for a trip on the lakes with my uncle,\u201d said Dick.\u2018Where are you going, Harold ?\u201d \u2018I don\u2019t know yet.I don't think I am going any place, as we have no friends in the country, and father and mother are not going.There is nothing I would like better, but I don't expect to go.\u2019 \u2018Look here, Bob, what are you going to take for a subject for your essay ?\u2019 said Dick.\u2018I am going to write about - horses.\u2019 \u2018I don\u2019t know yet.I have been thinking, if I like it out there in the country, I might write about \u201cLife in the Back- weods.\u201d How would that do?\u201d said Bob.\u2018I think that would be first-class.Do you intend to write one, Harold ?\u2019 con- tinurd Dick.\u2018I suppose I shall.should try for the prize.larg, isn't it 2 \u2018I'll tell you what, Dick ! Harold should write about trees,\u2019 said Bob with excitement.\u2018\u201c\u201cWoodman, spare that tree\u201d would be a capital title \u2018Why, yes,\u201d said Dick, \u2018that 15 the best hit yet.What do you say, Harold | Harold smiled and said he believed he would.\u2018It would seem to commemo- : rate the old tree.\u2019 The sun was beginning to go down be- \u201chind the tree-tops when Harold jumped up.\u2018I think we had better take the \u2018next boat, boys,\u2019 he said, \u2018as I proimsed to be home in time to take tea with : father.\u2019 So the boys started homewards, after i thoroughly enjoying their first holiday.\u2018Say, Bob, when will you start for the \u201cbackwoods, or the lakes, or wherever you \u201cintend going ?If you are going to write about the country I would adrise you to go there,\u2019 said Dick.\u2018Oh, my sister is going next week out i to the old farm, so I think I will go at | the same time, as my uncle won't leave i before two weeks\u201d { Wouldn\u2019t it be fine if we could go to- ' gether?\u2019 said Dick ; \u2018but of course that j cculd not be.There is a whole houseful of us going.Do you know, Harold, | if T could have my own way I would have you along, but I cannot ; there are so many little brothers and sisters that I don\u2019t see how they are going to make room for us in the old farm-house.\u2018It is real good of you to think of me, Dick, but I think father will need me a good deal ; he is pretty busy now, and I don\u2019t feel much like going away when mother and my little sister will have to stay at home.\u2019 \u2018Never mind, Harold, when I get out to the country I will look around, and if I can find a corner for you I will write and tell you.My cousin Jack is a fine fellow, and I know he and you would be great friends.\u2019 \u201cYou are awfully kind, Dick,\u201d said Harold.\u2018I have never been in the country in my life, and I think it must be fine.I am sure you will have a grand time.Will you be long away ?\u2018Oh, yes, all of my holidays; but wait, Harold, if I am not mistaken I won't be long away before I send for you.It is only something over fifty miles on the train, and then a good long drive into the country.As the boys were ahout to part they agreed that if they did not meet again before they started on their holidays Mother says I It is ten dol- | | ; !

On \u2018hem =0 many hopes had been centred.wl who was the pride and joy of their corly married years! Oh! it was agony \u201cexond all words.He had been abroad nearly two vears, when news reached his varents from an outsider that he had met with an accident, and it was hinted a= delicately as possible that it was the result of his own folly, and that he would have to lie on his back for some months.On hearing this, Martyn at onee offered to relinquish his present position, and go out and look after Bertram.\u2018Cousin Margaret,\u2019 he had said, when thev were talking the matter over ser- vousle together, I feel now may be, by (ics blessing, a turning point in Bertie'< je: and if I, by going out to nurse and tind him, can assure him a loving welcome awaits him in the old home, wha knows that perhaps at Christmas \u201cime we may once more have him mongst us again?and I shall feel that I have in some small way helped to ring back the sunshine in your life, for h! cousin, vou have been more than a ; anther to me, and I long to repay all 3 cur ove and kindness, but I never can!\u201d \u2018Martvn Margaret had replied.\u2018vou ivé more than repaid any love I have J) \u201cwen vor.Yen have been to my hus- rl and mvs>lf more than a son, and l Pa p+ 5 \u201cten think that Bertie might have gone irthier astrav even than he did had it + teen for vour restraining influence.\u2019 eu Na this was the reason Martyn Est- & mire was leaving all that he held dear- tn hfe, and running risks of which he id erunted the cost, to try and save \u201crram Halden\u2014\u2018Greater love nath no ee se RET man than this, that a man lay down | that ever fell from \u201chis eloquent lips.| and the pudding dish.That will save his life for his friends.\u201d Of his father little had been heard; several times he had asked his son to meet him in town, but as these meetings generally meant money to be spent on gambling Martyn had grown very cautious, and at last refused him money altogether.He was abroad now for anything his friends krew to the contrary, Mr.Halden having paid his passage, thinking this course preferable to having him writing for assistance, calling at the house, and frequently making himself very object innable.But whatever he had done he had kept his promise about his son, and in the past vears had never in any way tried to get him under his influence.As they walked slowly away from the docks, Margaret's heart felt lighter than it had done for years, deep down the refrain of the words, \u2018He'll bring him home, my boy, (od grant it,\u2019 were being uttered over and over agaiu, and as she thought of Martvn and all the past she realized that she was reaping the harvest of the seed she and her husband had sown in the long years ago.* * + » * * It was in a far away little town in Queensland, on the confines of the bush, that Bertram Halden had met with the accident which had so nearly cost him his life; and as he lay on a hard bed, the pain racking his whole body, with no home comforts, the heat intense, the mosquitoes flying in all directions, and only an old incompetent woman to nurse and minister to him, he cursed bis own folly, and almost wished that he could die.The doctor only came once or twice a week; the distance was =o great.Therefore much pain that might have been alleviated had his visits been more frequent, he was compelled to bear in silence.\u2018Fool that I have been,\u201d he murmured.\u2018Oh ! if 1 ceuld but have my time over again; but [ can't, and 1 suppose [ shall die here, and never see any of them again, and I loved them all! Yes, but love of self and drink ruined all.\u201d Thus he thought within himself, and the more he thought and reflected the more softened he felt, and a great longing came into his soul to tell his father and mo: ther how sorry he was for the past, and how he would like to live to ler his life testify to the fact, and he realized that God's spirit was striving with him, and that once again he had the chance of repenting and turning to the loving Father, God.As such thoughts were passing through his mind a gentle knock was heard at his door, and a man of forty- five or fifty years of age entered.\u2018Well, olé fellow, how are you getting | on?Not very grandly, 1 am afraid.by vour looks, eh?and as he spoke in a hearty, cheerful tone, he sat down on the frame of a broken chair, and sur veyed Bertram somewhat critically.\u2018No, the pain is awful to-day; if only I could just sce the home faces once again, and tell them what a fool-\u2014nay, worse\u2014l've been, I think 1 should be content to die.My life has been about as useless as it well could be, and it's best finished with,\u2019 he added, bitterly.\u2018Don\u2019t talk like that, Walton\u2019\u2014(Rer- tram had followed the fashion prevailing to a large extent amongst young men who go out to the colonies, of changing his name, in order to escape identifica- ticn)\u2014\u2018you may yet do a great deal with your life.You are so young, and have a long future before you, if God spares | you, in which you may to some extent redeem the past; but I\u2014' \u2018You?Why, vou are all right\u201d \u2018Ah, vou don\u2019t know all, Walton; we have been reticent with each other concerning the past, and naturally enough, too, fellows don\u2019t waut to let everyone know what fools they have been; to some of us the past is as a horrible nightmare, and I tell you, as you lie there, Walton, I would willingly sacrifice the years that are before me if I could undo those that lie behind.\u2019 \u2018You would?Why, Johnson, you amaze me.Fver since I have known vou, you have been as straight as a die; and as to drink, why you are tee-tee, What do you mean?\u2019 The man thus addressed was silent for a few moments, then he said: \u2014 \u201cIf I thought by telling you anything of my story 1 could help you to start a new life I would willingly do so, but it is too painful otherwise, and yet there is a look in your face, and wistfulness in vour eyes that remind me every now and then of one of the best men on earth, and somehow for his sake I feel impelled to tell you something of my past.Who knows but that, together, we may strengthen and help one another?\u2019 (To be continued.)

At the gate we are to give up, and ever afterward we are to take up, At that gute we are commanded to crucify that accursed house-devil self, that we may have room in our hearts for Christ, and for our fellow men.While the broad road leads down to death, the narrow gate leadeth unto life\u2014to largeness of life and loftiness of aim, and genuine joys.It brings pardon and peace of mind, and secures fellowship with Jesus Christ.If the gate be parrow by excluding what is base and selfish and sinful, the man who enters it is broadened.Noble old Norman Macleod of Scotiand phrased it very finely in the lost speech TT A ES TA | He said :\u2014\u2018I desire to be broad as the charity of Almighty God, who maketh his sun to shine on the evil and the good, who hateth no man, and who lov- | eth the poorest Hindu more than all our | committees or all our churches.Bat \"while 1 long for that breadth of charity, I desire to be narrow\u2014narrow as God's righteousness which as a sharp sword can separate between eternal right and eter- ral wrong.'\u2014Dr.Cuyler.CHILDREN'S CORNER.TWO VISITS.(By M.E.N.Hathewty,) The fire in the kitchen was out, The clock told that midnight was past; The cook was in bed and asleep, And the door of the pantry was fast; When six little mischievous mice, A-strolling for plunder and play, Came in by a hole in the wall They had gnawed for the purpose that day.First, Sharp Tooth and Spry hurried through, Followed closely by Pry Nose and Fuzz, And lastly came Sly Toes and Sleek\u2014- Then, oh, what a frolic there was! They danced on the best china plates\u2014 These six little mischievous mice; They nibbled the 1ruit-cake and pies; ~ They scattered the sugar and rice.With nothing to startle or harm, They kept up their frolic and feast Till the stars faded out of the sky, And morning appeared in the east.When they came to the pantry again, They spiel in the midst of the floor A structure of wire and wood, Unseen on their visit before.It seemed to their curious eves Well fitted for pleasure and ease, With six little rooms, and each one Had tables of bacon and cheese.They viewed it around and around, They sniffed the sweet smells with de- Light; \u2018\u2019Tis a house built for us\u2019 they exclaimed, \u2018And we were expected to-night ?\u2019 Then Sharp Tooth and Spry and the rest, With nothing to make them afraid, ; Crept into the six little rooms Where supper was waiting \u2014 and stavet ! They came to the pantry no more, For this was the end of them all: And the cook nailed a stout patch of tin On the hole they had made in the wall.\u2014\u2018The Independent.\u2019 MARJORIE\u2019'S CORNER\u2014MACAROON PUDDING.\u2018Whatever shall I do ?cried Norah, coming from the pantry with a tin box in her hands, containing macaroons that had become stale, and so she feared were wasted, * No, Norah, not wasted,\" said Marjorie, who was standing nearby, \u2018for I can make a most delicious pudding out of stale macaroons.\u2019 Marjorie having received the assurance of Norah's help, proceeded : \u201cNow, let me see,\u2019 said she, \u2018I think that 1 had better get everything I need firat butter, eggs, sugar and cocoanut, ADVERTISEMENTS.Fifty Years Ago.Who could imagine that this should be The place where, in eighteen ninety-three That white world-wonder of arch and dome Should shadow the nations, polychrome.,.Here at the Fair was the prize conferred On Ayer\u2019s Pills, by the world preferred.Chicago-like, they a record show, Since they started\u2014so years sgo.Ayer\u2019s Cathartic Pills have, from the time of their preparation, been a continuous sucoess with the public.And that means that Ayer's Pills accomplish what is promised for them;
