VS.GRENIER.The Great Trial Begun at Last.A FRENCH SPEAKING JURY SELECTED.\u2019 After long and prolonged delays the case of Tarte vs.Grenier finally came up for hearing before Judge Wurtele, in the Criminal Court, this morning.It reed hardly be mentioned that the court room filled to suffocation, every available spot having heen secured at an early hour.Among others present were, besides the plaintiff ard defendant, the Hon.Messrs.Geoffrion, Taillon and Leblanc.The prosecution was represented by Messrs.St.Pierre, DDandurand and Des- marais, while Messrs.Cornellier, Leboeuf and T.amonthe appeared for the defence.Immediately upon the case being called, Judge Wurtele intimated that the accused should take the piace assigned to Mr.Cornellier re- was him during the trial.marked that, in a libel case, the accused might be excused from going into the dock.The Court was of a different opinion, however, and having quoted an English precedent, declared that no excep: tion could be made in the matter.Mr.(rrenier then entered the dock, the Court ordering, however, that he be given a seat.The forming of the jury was then proceeded with.Mr.Cornellier asked for a Fronch jury, but the judge remarked that while, personally, he would certainly prefer a jury composed of men al speaking the same language, still there was nothing in the law to authorize the formation of such a jury, and the Court could only entertain a motion for a mixed jury, otherwise the jury must go in the box as called out.The Court further remarked that in a case of this kind, no \u2018 stand aside\u2019 was allowed in calling out the jury, but each party had the privilege of the usual four chalienges on each side.In order to get over this difficulty some disinterested parties requested the Eng- hsh-apeaking jurors not to reply when called out.By this means, the English jurors were registered as defaulting, when called.and after a few challenges, the following French jury were empanelled : Felix Pepin, Alphonse Auctil, Napoleon Sicard, Alfred Carignan, Victor Valois, Leopold Larue, Gedeon Laniel, F.X, Leclerc, R.A.Lalonde, Alphonse Pre-| vost, Adolphe Riel, Edouard Lariviéré.At this juncture Mr.Desmarais, crown [rcrecutor, having declared that tha Crown would have no other case to bring before the Court during the present term, the judge thanked the rest of the panel of jurors for their services and discharged them.Mr.Dandurand then briefly placed the case for the prosecution before the jury sworn.He explained that the case arose from a libellous article publiehed in the \u2018 Libre Parole,\u201d of Aug.26, 1896, in which the reputation and honor of the Hon.Mr.Tarte were most violently attacked bv the accused Grenier.Mr.Tarte had not taken the present proceedings in his quality of a Minister of the Crown, but as a simple citizen, and father of a fami- ls, anxious to transmit to his children an unblemished rame and reputation.Gren- ler had had no other preparation for journalism than his connection with newspapers as advertising agent, and he possibly may not have been the writer of the articic referred to, but he was responsible for the article Mr.Dandur- and then mmentioned the principal features «of the article incriminated, alleging that it charged Mr.Tarte with being guilty of every possible crime which a public man can commit in the way of boodling.Mr.Cia.Daoust, deputy clerk of the Crown, was then examined and testified to the registration of Mr.Grenier as publisher of the * Libre Parole.\u2019 Mr.G.Desanlniers then gave evidence as to the publication of the \u2018Libre Parole\u2019 at the Lime referred to.The Hon.Mr.Tarte himself was then called.Counsel asked whether he would Le required to enter the witness box as ordinary witnesses, and the reply being in the affirmative, Mr.Tarte entered the box.He was examined by Mr.St.Pierre and proceeded to explain how the accused had tried to secure monetary help from him for the publication of his journal, which he offered to make the T'ersonal organ of Mr.Tarte, the same as 16 practised by mivisters in France.Mr.Grenier even offered to take Me.Gelinas, private secretary to Mr.Tarte, as his chief editor.Mr.Grenier insisted on getting two hundred dollars for the first week.The interview took place in Mr.Tarte\u2019s office at Ottawa, and no money having then been given Mr.Grenier, Mr.Tarte subsequently roceived a telegram from Cirenier again pressing for mon-y.No reply was given, and Grenier having then returned to Ottawa, Mr.Tarte re- fured to see him.Then followed the article now complained of.Mr.Sicotte, Clerk of the.Crown, then read the article, which has now become famous, and the details of which have already heen published in full several times, Continuing his evidence, Mr.Tarte declared that the le\u2018t-r referred to in the : article concerning the enal contract for the Court House at St.Jerome, having been auoated only in part, and without any signature or mention of the place whence it came, was misleading.The AR Rp BRE ) à D ks I .DE TPE A SPP VOTERS.DEV RE.letter had not been addressed to witness nor to his department.Mr.Tarte then explained the circumstances of the letter sent by Mr.Petit to Messrs.Labrecque, Cousineau, and to Evans Bros., respecting the coal contract.Several tenders at the same figure having been received by the department, witness asked Mr.Dobell, his deputy, what was generally done in such cases.Mr.Dobell replied that, from time immemorial, it had been the custom, in such cases, to leave the granting of the comtract with the candidate of the party, elected or defeated, in the locality interested.Mr.Petit, defeated candidate for Terrebonne was in consequence entrusted with the patronage of the contract for St.Jerome, and his letters to Labrecque and to Evans followed.Mr.Petit\u2019s letters were then read to the jury.In answer to a direct question, Mr.Tarte formally declared that the article in the \u2018 Reveil\u2019 was a series of falsehoods, and he trusted that the Court would dispose of them during the present trial.\u201cIs it true,\u201d asked Mr.St.Pierre, \u2018that vou left the Conservative party for money considerations ?\u2019 \u2018No,\u2019 replied Mr.Tarte emphatically.\u201cI left the Conservatives at a moment when the party was prosperous amd when the Liberals were trodden upon.My present leader will shortly tell vou whether I joined his party for money considerations.\u2019 Mr.Tarte was then questioned as to the truth of the charge of having received sums of money from Messrs.Me- Greevy, Beemer, Pacaud and others, he replied that the charge constituted \u2018an atrocious calumny.\u2019 Mr.Cornellier conducted the cross examination and, at the opening, made an effort to connect Mr.Tarte and his department with the responsibility of the Petit letters.Mr.St.Pierre objected and the Court maintained the objection.In reply to a question put by the judge, the witness declared that the coal contract had afterwards been given to other parties and without Mr.Petit\u2019s concourse.A lengthy discussion took place between the two lawyers as to the admissibility of a question asking Mr.Tarte whether the article complained of did not express the views of a Liberal expressing regret that he, Mr.Tarte, should have been admitted to the party.Mr.St.Pierre contended that now was the proper time to define the limits of the case, and what was complained of was rot the charge against Mr.Tarte of hav- mg changed his political allegiance, but the motives attributed for such change.Gladstone, Disraeli and Cartier were instances that the best men sometimes changed their political views.The judge then remarked that he remembered having been: called a German by the \u2018 Minerve, and he also remembered that a very prominent German, Bismarck, had himself changed his political views, and had declared that fools alone do not change when they think they are in the wrong direction.The change itself was no fault, but the motives of the change might be, and it remained for the jury to decide what the motives were.Under the circumstances, he would allow the question.Mr.Tarte then replied that he had understood the action to be a defamation of his character, prompted by his refusal to give the monetary help demanded.Ag regards his motives for leaving one party for another, he did not accept Mr.Grenier's judgment in the matter.Mr, Cornellier then asked :\u2014\u2018 Is it not true that a large number of Liberals protested against your entry into the Cabinet ?To this the witness replied :\u2014 When Sir Wilfrid Laurier did me the honor to offer me a portfolio, I said to him :\u2014 \u201cIf my position as a minister is of a nature to embarrass you, leave me aside + end Il will support you with all my power just as well\u201d Mr.Laurier insisted on mv acceptance, and raid that it was not only his own desire, Lut also that of the party, that I ehould accept.\u2019 The court then adjourned to two p.m., and the jury were not shut up, but were simply warned not to converse with any one on the case now before them.-\u2014 ECCLESIASTICAL CHANGES.Important changes have just taken place in the dioceses of Montreal and Valleytield.In the Diocese of Montreal the Rev.Curé G.Lesage is transferred from Coteau St.Louis to St.Paul l\u2019Ermite.The Rev.Curé Lepailleur of Maisonneuve gees to Coteau St.Louis, and the Rev.Abhé J.A.Belanger becomes pastor of Maisonneuve.In the Diocese of Vallevfield the

man of Drolet street, five dellars and ten dollars costs or onr month in jail for gtriking Mrs.Cusson, who lives at the corner of Notre Dame and Moreau street, and he fined another motorman, Elie Vezina, Amherst street, five dollars and costs or fifteen days\u2019 imprisonment for using obscene language towards complainant.About nine o'clock the accused passed along Notre Dame street in an easterly direction and on nearing Mrs.Cusaon\u2019s house, they noticed she stood at the door, and they commenced to usc bad language whereupon the complainant ordered them to stop, but they refused

new station at Hiber- | nia road in place of the old structure.| The approaches to the present station are ; difficult owing to want of sufficient space | between the subway and the sidewalk on

bar.Slightly weakening it with water he indulged in a quiet spree for two days, although warned by his comrades that he was running the risk of death.lo- day he is at home.and his condition 1s pronounced serious.\u2014_\u2014 R.Y.M.C.À.Judging from the interest already manifested by railwaymen in the R.Y.M.C.A.by their attendance at the association rooms, Richmond street, the success of the movement is assured.The games, the comfortable quarters and the interesting papers supplied, tend to create an interest among the membership.The cause of humanity and good government would certainly be promoted by the transfer of Cuba from the rule of Spain to that of the United States.Not only would life and property be rendered more secure and the happiness of the great majority be promoted, but the ricL- ness and fertility of the \u2018Pearl of the Antilles \u2019 would be made of greater service to the world in general.The United States Government would be subjected to the risks which the rulership of a Spanish half-caste people would impose | and which would be an addition to the strain caused by the rapidly-increasing numbers and influence of the black race of the Southern States, but the danger is not yet pressing, and when it comes the United States will doubtless be prepared for it and for some solution of the problem.But the transfer of Cuba should be brought about by means which are not unnecessarily rude and humiliating to Spain.The United States is rather apt to be somewhat bumptious : and overbearing both in manner and in act in its dealings with other nations, and its agent in this case, Mr.Wood- ford, is generally believed to have given real cause for bitter resentment on the part of Spain, which is a very proud and dignified natien.A courteous, grave, dignified but infirm old grandee does not show altogether to disadvantage in the eves of the world by keeping his temper when assailed by a western cowboy of great strength, pistol in band, with a perempiory demand for the extinction of the fire which is consuming his cottage, or the handing over of the cottage itself.The cowboy will keep the cottage safer and in better repair, but he unnecessarily forfeits the sympathy of the world by bullying.- AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING COMMISSION NEEDED.The license commissioners have again evidenced their disregard for the expressed will of a large and most important section of the city in granting a liquor license on Victoria street.This \"application was opposed by MeGill University, one of the most honored and respected institutions in the city, the officers of which regarded the licensing of such a place as a source of great danger to the young men whose homes.while in the city receiving their education, are in the immédiate vicinity.Various other influential requests were also presented, but were set aside with a simple exprcs- sion of sympathy.Under these cireum- stances we have a right to ask, whom «do these license commissioners represent ?Why should these men in the exercise of a discretion which the law confers upon them force upon any section of the city a license to which such strong opposition has been made as in this instance.The excuse given by one of the commissioners, that the government needs the money, is puerile, but even this is not a consideration in the present case, as there were three other applicants before them, any one of whom would be only too glad to pay the license fee, and against none of these was there any serious opposition, they being in the busi- TOUTS ah TTL.SA MAN LCL \u201cTHE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS ness centre of the city.The question has more than once been raised in regard to the composition of this licensing board.According to the admission of one of them the other day, many unworthy persons have their license granted them, and the report of the chief of the revenue department, published recently, confirms this statement.There can be no question that the English- speaking section of the community should have a representative on this board.As now composed it consists of three French- Canadians.Surely the English-speak- ing citizens ought to have a voice in deciding where and to whom, especially in districts inhabited almost wholly by Eng- lish-speaking people, liquor licenses should be granted, so long as the government shall continue the iniquity of granting sich licenses to any one.\u2014\u2014 CANADA\u2019S WINTER OCEAN SERVICE.If there is anything to be regretted about the arrangement with the Peter- sen-Tate Company for a fast line between the Dominion and Great Britain it is that the contract could not have been consummated sooner.Meanwhile the Canadian ocean route, and that is essentially but another name for Canadian commerce, is suffering and progress is paralyzed.The termination of the present system of mail subsidies, which was rightly provided for by the late government in view .of its arrangements for a fast service, is fixed for the end of next month, and the two oldest and greatest Canadian lines of steamships have therefore given notice that their vessels will cease to visit Canadian ports during the winter months in consequence, as there is not business enough from Halifax to : render it profitable to them even to call i there on their way to United States The Hon.A.G.Jones, a leading business man of Halifax, has with ad- .mirable candor and courage declared that the steamship companies are quite right in their statements that Halifax is not i and cannot be made a profitable port of | shipment in competition with St.John, Portland or Boston.With extraordi- i nary and surprising unanimity, in view of ports.\u2018Canada\u2019s long struggle to make Halifax ;a winter port, the representatives of Montreal's chief exporting, shipping and railway interests are all in perfect agree- far as Halifax is concerned everybody is \u2018agreed that if subsidies are to be granted to the steamship companies running ves- : sels to that port it must be merely that | Car.adian mails may be landed there.Ye service by that port is too slow and that | they direct their correspondence by way i of New York.If the subsidy for a mail service by way of Halifax is continued, therefore, it must be simply, so far as mails go, to serve the maritime provinces, which probably might be as quickly served by New York.If the ships are : subsidized for calling at Halifax it will .therefore be merely in order to maintain i a Canadian service.We are not sure that, in of the effect upon the world\u2019s opinion of Canada of dropping a winter service which has been maintained for half a century, and of the value of the sentiment of maintaining cur service, that it should not be done even at the considerable cost involved.view There is the alternative winter route to St.John.Those railway and shipping companies which tried this port last winter declare that one line of vessels had more business than it could do from that port last season, and that this season two ships a week could obtain car- The objection to running costly mail vessels on that route is that it has in the past proved too dangerous to make it profitable to do so.If these dangers cannot be overcome by caution and experience in navigating the route, by extra aids to navigation, by specially constructed and equipped vessels, it might be well to subsidize second or even third rate vessels for that port, and allow them to carry the mails that would probably not suffer from the difference of rapidity in transportation by third goes there.rate as compared with a second rate vessel.If that policy were determined upon, a winter freight port, which is i Canada's greatest need, might be built | vp, and perhaps a faster passenger and | mail service might in time be evolved through the acceptance of extra risks or perhaps their elimination in some as yet Certainly, the St.| John experiment was successful enough last winter to warrant its being tried on \"a larger scale this winter, and the government, if it is going to assist any one, | might well help those who have helped themselves, as the St.John people and | the Canadian Pacific Railway have done | ; unperceived way.4 a TTT CARRIE TETUR® A = SA LA TS ar ment on that most important point.So all the business men confess that the by their considerable outlay on that port.Canada, which has in the past taken and held a remarkably high position as a maritime nation, should meet what appears to be a sort of crisis in her winter ocean business in a bold and courageous spirit.The time was when Canadians always spoke with pride of their own ships.When Sir Hugh Allan was alive the constant advances made in the St.Lawrence \u2018 service kept the Canadian route well in the van, and that doughty champion of Canadian commerce never ceased to prophesy greater and greater things for it.Since his day progress has practically ceased.The \u2018Canada\u2019 is the only skip which is a distinct advance on the \u2018Parisian.\u2019 The \u2018Canada\u2019 made ome trip to Montreal and then forsook the St.Lawrence.The agreement between the government and another company has made it no longer worth the while of the Dominion line or of any other to keep in advance of the barest existing needs.That not only general travellers but Canadian travellers should be found almost unanimously depreciating their own route is in itself significant of much, It may be, comparatively speaking, of small odds to Canada whether the world\u2019s travel passes over Canadian rails and over the St.Lawrence waves or not.The country can at least live without taking toll of the world\u2019s travel, though that is what goes furthest to advertise her, whether favorably or unfavorably.But what is important in these days of keen commercial competition is that her freight service should not be outdone by that of competitors.As the price of almost everything our farmers sell is feeding the British market, it follows that our farmers will get more or less for their products according to the cheapness and excellence of condition in which they can be placed upon the British market.To this end, as many of these products are perishable, a faster service is necessary, as well as continually improving facilities for the prevention of deterioration.There is an equal argument in favor of the more rapid transit of the finer class of imports which are now brought even to Montreal via New York, rather than lose the extra days i which by the St.Lawrence route must \"on the average intervene between the for- | Favarding of the order and the receipt of the goods.It is not, however, the Canada trade alone that the St.Lawrence route should command.The St.Lawrence is the nearest way to Liverpool for more than half of the United States, including most of the Mississippi valley, and, what will yet be exceedingly important, it is by all odds the shortest line between eastern Asia and Europe.It is therefore of the utmost importance that no step should be missed towards the earliest opening of this predestined route to the world's great commerce.There are many who still speak incredulously of the proposed fast service as agreed upon by the company which has contracted with the government.There are those who can elaborately prove that the thing cannot be done.This can only be answered in the spirit of Sir Hugh Allan : It must be done.BIG STORM COMING.OTTAWA'S WEATHER PROPHET SAYS IT WILL BREAK UPON US ON

Railway Projects, BY AN OLD LIBERAL WHO IS A BUSINESS MAN.\u2018The Hon.A.G.Jones,\u2019 said a prom- nent business man, this morning, \u2018is a Haligonian, and an old, sincere Liberal, eration, hie courage does him the greatest honor.As to the correctness of his views | among men of thought and knowledge, there are no two opinions, and if his frenk and courageous statements leads the government to reconsider the policy of large expenditures upon fast ocean service and great railway transportation development, which it found the country committed to when it arrived in power, and which it modified at least by reducing the proposed subsidies, not only his present abiding place, but the Dominion at large, will have cause to be graterul to him.The government, as a whole, is undoubtedly in favor of greater caution and economy and will probably be glad of any backing it-maÿ receive in that respect from ite Liberal friends.\u2018l am a Liberal myself; have been an advanced Liberal all my life, and am not likely to change now.When in opposition we Liberals were bitter critics ot the Conservative Government, so far as its spendthrift policy was concerned, and we were right; we won the election in part upon a programme of retrenchment and reform.There have been undeniably retrenchment end reform on the part of the government ;on the other hand, are not certain menbers of the present government who are talking most loudly, encouraging the launching into expenditures that no sound business principle can justify.\u2018Let me particularize.I have pointed out in your columns before the absurdity of Mr.Tarte's propositions respecting the business to be obtained by connecting the Intercolonial with the Parry Sound Railway.We are at present served by the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk railways and the canals, and Mr.Tarte states that the Parry Sound Railway alone will double our trade.In the first place, unless the conditions are extremely abnormal, rail can rever compete with the Parry Sound line cannot hope, for many years to come, at any rate, to be in the running.As 1 pointed out in your, columns before, Parry Sound is not a\u2019 grain-growing region; all the grain it: could carry would have to be taken there, from Lake Superior districts; and, to | compete with Duluth, it could not hope | to receive any more than two cents to haul it to Montreal.I am assured, upon: ' the highest authority, that it costs the railways half a cent to haul a ton, or.twelve hundred pounds of grain, a mile; | if you work out this sum, you will find | that the net cost to the Parry Found: Railway to carry a bushel of grain weigh- | ing sixty pounds to Montreal, three hundred and eighty miles, would be four and one-fifth cents\u2014a loss of two and one- fifth cents on the net outlay.It has no; local traffic of any moment, as you are | aware, and it would have to send its roll- ; ing stock back light.\u2018Then, consider the statements made | by the Minister of Public Works regard- | ing the Intercolonial Railway and Hali-| fax.The Canadian Pacific Railway, I am aware, is carrying freight to St.John in to do this it has to run a hundred and, fifty miles for really nothing at all.To.do this, even with 3ts interior paying\u2019 trade, taking also into consideration the : profits it makes out of the haulage in the North-West, where the competition iz limited, cannot fail to tax its resources, and every tonnage of increase will make this more apparent.Even this, however.is a very different story to anything the | difference between Portland and Halifax is five hundred miles; this great distance | alone puts the proposed railway connec- | tion out of the competition; even without consideration of the fact that the (rrand | Trunk is fed by all our Ontario grain and fruit regions, whereas the Intercolomial runa through a barren country, so far as its freight is concerned.\u2019 \u2018Let me say that I am a sincere admirer of Sir Wilfria Laurier: no man .more so.I helieve, nav.1 know, that \u2018he is a man of absolute integrity, and broadly.a statesman in the highest sence of the word.1 fought hard for Tim during the late elections and no man mn this wide Dominion could have reit morc elated than I did when he was veturnel at the head of the polls.\u201cBut I must sav that I think he is over sanguine :n some ways; a fault lean- | ing in the better direction, of course.| But an even more serious objection was exemplified in Sir Wilfrid's speech at the Board of Trade dinner tle other evening, by his stating he believed the St.Lawrence,even in the immediate future,should America.This statement, in my opin- | jon, was altogether too optimistic, and proves to me, at least, that Sir Wilfrid, not being a business man himself, has been influenced by the less business-like elements in his Cabinet.1 chanced to be in the neihborhood of several United States gentlemen when Sir Wilfrid made Wilfrid Laurier and such a sincere well wisher of the present government, all of whom are my personal friends, that I ; applicant and that we are frozen up here half the year, rer rar so far as navigation is concerned: apg

Dugas raid he had already given his decision in favor of the license.It was for the other commissioners to give theirs.Recorder de Montigny.speaking on French expressed his svmpathy with the clergy

Juat then, however, another of those monster waves struck the \u2018Mary Ann.making her quiver and twist herself on her rocky bed, and then a great spray- fountain darted into the air, and de scended hike thund-r the deck.while a yet fiercer gust whistled in *he funnels and made the solitary mast creak and groan and bend over towards the water like a whip-handle.The triumphant expression faded out of Dick's face, and his cheeks grew white; poor Dolly screamed and clung te him with all her might ; and so they stood.trembling till the commotion subsided and the streams of water in which for the minute they stood ankle deep.had mured themselves away through the joe-scuppers and left the deck at least comparatively dry again.\u2018What will they say at home when they find we don\u2019t come in to tea ¥ was Doilv's next question.\u2018Why, of course, they'll guess we've got lost in the storm, and they'll come out to look for us\u2014three cheers !\u201d cried Dick, whose mind had been sn much ahsorbed hitherto in the question of trying to get to shore that the thought ot the possibility of help coming to them from the other end had been quite lost sight of.It was indeed a cheering thought that they might still be rescued before night closed in.\u2018They'll come with lanterns.of course, and all sorts of things, and carry us home in blankets, and Sarah upon *]] give us hot wine and water and put us ; to bed\u2014and we sha\u2019n\u2019t get acolded a bit! Dollv\u2019g terrified little face brightened up at this picture.\u2018We mnst tie up something for a signal on the mast\u2014the brighteset colored tling we've got.Your frock, Dolly! You won't miss it, it\u2019s so wet.And it'll get dry up there, as well, if the spray do2sn\u2019t come too much !\u201d Dick began stumping up and down to warm his feet, looking about him with alert and cheerful glances.Tt was such a help to hav: found something to do! \u2018And I'll tell vou what,\u2019 he added, \u2018we mustn't stop here behind the bulwarks where nobady can see us: we must get up on the bridge.and keep a sharp look-out.They can\u2019t help seeing us up there.And they may be coming round the corner anv minute\u2014look sharp, Dollv and get your frock off.Here, ['ll help vou! While the children were both sirug- gling with the refractory wet buttonholes down Dolly's back, a sudden re membrance came to them of a huge red and vellow figured handkerchief\u2014a \u2018rea- sure of Dolly's which usually formed \u2018old Judy's doll's\u2019 couch, bedding.bedclothes, and all: Judy was still, no doubt, slumbering peacefully between its folds in the corner of the empty berth in the captain\u2019a rabin ; Dolly had clambered | up on the locker and put her to bol there\u2014eould it have hean only that very morning Ÿ The \u2018hanky\u2019 would make a capital signal nf distress, the children th-mght ; and they resolved ta maka their war down to the cabin for it, before climbing ta the bridge.Tt wiz no easy matter tn reach the eahin : \u2018he part of the deck which had! to he crossed was just that on which the wrres hroke most heavilv.and thev had to make a dash for it between the cas cades of spray.Of course, in their excitement they managed to start running just as a big wave went darting up into the air: and.though Dalle, who was foremost, escaped with nnly a sprinkline, Dirk came splashing down the common.inn dripping from head to foot, and with a verv distinct knowledz> of whar it feels like to have cold water mimning down your back! A stream Aescended with the children into the cabin, swishing comfortlessiy round their legs : and they found, to their dismay.their beloved play room already ankle deep in water, with various treasured objects basket as it floated by; and Dick caught up some of the floats and stuffed his | dripping pockets full of them\u2014with a vague idea, apparently, of making him- sell bv so much the more buovant, if it should come to a question of swimming for dear hfe.Every wave that threw itself on the deck sent part of its flood dewn the uuprotected hatehway, and added something to the flood which was fuling the cabin.Jolly sprang up on the locker and brought forth the handkercmef, with old Judy still muffled in its folds.\u2018I wish we could stay down here, she said, mournfully, \u2018but, of course.we can\u2019t, for 1 s'pose the cabin will be filled quite full soon\u2014tight up to the brim \u2014and we should be drowned.\u2019 They could not help pausing a minute, however, to look sadly round the place in which they had spent so many happy hours ; their eves were caught by the luncheon basket, still perched, high and dry, on the table, with the cloth which had eoveread the provisions hanging out of it.The sight reminded the poor children of a fact which their terrors and anxieties had made them hitherto for- get-of how long past tea-time it was, and how terribly hungry aud thirsty they were ! \u2018Wasn't there a scrap left from our dinner, Dolly 7\u201d asked Mick, hungrily eveing the hasket.\u2018Oh, dear, if we'd only known what was going to happen, would- n't we have saved something, that's all ! Don\u2019t you think vou might have overlooked something ?Just one tartlet, or a piece of cake ?\u201d Dolly shook her head.\u2018I'm almost sure there's not a crumb left; don\u2019t you remember, Dick, how we found that last puff under the folds of the cloth, and each had half ?But we might look.\u2019 They waded across to the table, and carefully turned out every corner of the basket.About a thimble-full of ginger beer from the bottom of one of the bottles, and a small piece of bread, were the only leavings that could by any means be discovered.\u2018It's like n real desert island now, not a play one,\u201d said Dick gloomily, as he stood with his hands in his pockets sur- veving this banyan feast.\u2018Here! We'll div But he caught himself up in the midst of his speech, flushed scarlet, and his hands, which had been darted forth in the direction »f the table, were thrust back with an angry jerk, into the very depths of his pockets.\u2018I'm\u2014I'm not hungry, Doll, or thirsty\u2014at least, I mean not worth speaking of.You pitch into the prog, do you hear ?You're a girl, snd of course a girl needs more to keep her going than a man does.1 don't Want any at all\u201d Dolly had been in the very act of telling Dick he was to take it all, for of course he was the hungriest-he always was !\u2014only he had managed to get his sav out first.Of course she cried \u2018No, no !\u2019 and protested that nothing should make her take more than \u2018the smallest half\u2019 of their supplies; but he laid a firm and manly grasp on her shoulder and said, \u2018Look here, Dolly, you\u2014are- ADVERTISEMENTS.Beautiful eyes grow dull and dim As the swift years steal away.Beautiful, willowy forms so slim Lose fairness with every day.But she still is queen and hath charms te spare Who wears youth's coronal \u2014 beautifr.l Lair.Preserve Your Hair and you preserve your youth.\u201cA woman is as old as she looks,\u201d says the world.No woman looks as old as she is if her hair has preserved its normal beauty.You can koep hair from falling out, restoring its normal color, or restore the normal color to gray or faded Lair, by the use of ; Ayer\u2019s Hair Vigor.THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.and she was obliged to give in and eat beer\u2014though feeling as if every mouthtul would choke herbe blind bats if they don\u2019t see it,\u2019 cried Dick, shaking out the voluminous folds tof the great bandanna handkerchief, while Dolly munched away at the dry bread.Poor Judy tumbled helter-skelter out of her warm bed, lay forlornly on her back on the table.Her mistress I caught her up, when they turned to go; she felt she could not leave her old playmate there to drown.Dick, however, briefly but sternly ordained that Judy must be left bebi.id.\u2018Oh, Dick, she'll think it's so unkind And if she's drowned, whatever shall I do ?She'll never forgive me.\u2019 \u2018Stuff and nonsense ! \u2019 queth Master Dick.\u2018She's only sawdust\u2014and as she is sawdust, she'll not be drowned\u2014she'll float !

(To be continued.) \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WONDERFUL MEMORY.| Sir Alfred Milner has a wonderful memory.On one occasion, when he was Mr.(Goschen's secretary, he was called unon by a journalist for a copy of Mr.Gos- chen\u2019s address to the electors of East Ldinburgh.The address had been sent out by post, and there was no copy, but Sir Alfred Milner sat down at once and wrote out the address from memory.When it was compared with the original there were only three words wrong \u2018n the whole address of mearlv four hundred words in length.\u2014\u2018Tit-Bits.\u2019 BOARD WITHOUT LODGING.Great and prominent people in all probability dislike to be ridiculed and lampooned as much at the present day as their ancestors ever did; but the penalty for the offender, provided he keep himself within bounds, can hardly be more than the disfavor of the object of his ridicule, instead of being really serious, as it too often was one or two centuries ago.The severest wit of his time, Voltaire, was more than once imprisoned in the Bastille for having directed his satire against the powers that were.His frst incarceration for such an offence was in 1717, when he levelled a biting set of verses, and later a satirical composition in Latin, against the regent, the Duke of Orleans.The justly incensed regent ordered:him to be taken to the Bastille, but forgetting his insulter almost immediately, he left the wretched Voltaire in prison for eleven months.When the poet was remembered and ADVERTISEMENTS.Asx your grocer for nez alt For Table and Dairv.Purest and Best = > ustrations for Books, Catalogues Circulars, Advertise.> ments, &ec.Half-Tone Etchings, Equal to the best produced, at | BC per square inch, ° Minimum for any single Half-tone Etching, $1.25.Vignetting extra.a SPECIAL RATES for Large Quantities, Lime Rienings, 6c per square inch.Minimum for any singl» Etching, SOC.Drawing;

So the last we saw of them they were being taken into the passenger car, to the vast delight of every one in the train\u2014except Lydia's father, who was carrying them, though he had vowed he wouidn\u2019t-\u2014and we almost forgot to be dias mother and father were going away, too, we were so excited about the ducks.Of course they peeped and squeaked and quacked all the way, and two of the little ones got out, and Lydia's father had to creep about on his hands and knees to find them and then fasten them safely into the box once more.All tins took much time and patience.And no one who did not see it can imagine the expression of Gertrude's aunt, who met her at the train, when she found she had to carry two huge boxes of ducks all across New York and keep them overnight in a flat ; or the several expressions of Gertrude\u2019s mother and father and sieters and brothers when they saw their collective gift from the sea shore.And the story is not quite over yet, for seven months have gone by, and all that are left of the ducks\u2014the mother and nine young ones\u2014are still alive and eating as only ducks can.And unless you have had practical experience of the appetite of a duck, let alone of ten ducks, you can never realize what this means.Ducks are the one kind of creature which it is impossible to fill up, no matter how often vou feed them.And Gertrude won\u2019t let a single one of them be killed or sold ! The seven which are missing fell victims in their early vouth to a fox or a weasel, or something of the sort; but the others, which Gertrude\u2019s family fondly thought were to be fattened for their Christmas and New Year\u2019s and other holiday dinners, are simply growing bigger and bigger, and fatter and fatter, all to no purpose; for being all drakes, they do not even lay eggs !

Dr.Rizal Soliciting Aid For the Patriots in the Philippines.\u2014 HER WORK IN PHILADELPHIA.AGREEMENT FOR MUTUAL ASSISTANCE CONCLUDED WITH THE CUBAN JUNTA.Philadelphia, Sept.23.\u2014Marina Comen- ol Orbi Hozae Rizal, the widow of Dr.Hozae Rizal, who was butchered by Gen.Polaviejo on Dec.6, 1896, is now in Phila delphia.Dr.Rizal was the acknowledged leader and instigator of the revolution in the Philippines, which had been smoldering since 1894.As the President of Manila University, he was honored and revered by the residents of the island.Religious persuasion and the atroeious list of tyrannies that are familiar to Cuban and Philippine historians finally were too grave for Dr.Rizal to bear.He was instrumental in gathering together the patriots, and took to the field.Marina Comenol Orbi had been a student in the university.An attachment\u2019 had sprung up between her and the President, and on Dec.4 she went into the thick of the battle to meet her lover, and they were married, with a band of patriots as the only witnesses.Marina returned to Manila, and two days later the young husband was captured.The Spanish general visited the prisoner, and offered him life, liberty and passports for himself and wife if he would persuade the insurgents to vield.Rizal courageously and patriotically refused to buy his freedom at such a price.On Dec.6 he was; led to a stone wall, compelled to kneel and was shot to death by a file of Span- jards under command of Gen.Polavie;o.Mrs.Rizal then made up her mind to devote her life to the cause and to avenge her husband.She first went to Japan, and there found sympathy and substantial encouragement.is now stopping in the north-western part of this city, where she is the guest of a family thoroughly in sympathy with her cause.Her extraordinary ability manifests itself in her shrewd, secret work.Many ceses of arms and ammunition have heen shipped over the trunk lines to Canada, where they will be forwarded to Japan, and ultimately to the patriots in the Philippines.The Remington Arms Company is said : to have sent thousands of rifles and is at work completing more for the same purpose.A band of recruits will be sent from America as soon as they can be collected.The work has all been done so quietly that the presence of Mrs.Rizal in this city has been known only to two or three of her most trusted friends.She has been here a month and not a moment has been spent in idleness.One of the most important steps yet taken by the Philippine patriots has heen their resolution to join forces with Cuba.It is said that Mrs.Rizal has been mainly instrumental in drawing up an agreement by which the Cuban Junta and the Philippine patriots will act in unison.She has been most influential Cubans, and the result will likely be a bond which will mean much for their advancement.Spain has a foe in Mrs.Rizal who is capable of doing much for the cause of liberty.Mrs.Rizal will go from here to Japan, and it is her intention to head the trocps in person when she returns to the 1s- land.deeply by the heroism of this womar, who 1s willing to give her life for the cause for which her husband died.Philippine insurgents have been fighting at a great disadvantage for want of troops and supplies.With renewed cou- ruge and abundant supplies under the inspired leadership of Mrs.Rizal, they expect ere long to gain their liberty and force Spain to grant practically the same reforms that Cuba is struggling for.Japan is lending much aid to their cause, and is said to be looking with envious eyes upon the island.The expedition which Mr.Rizal will soon lead from America is the first organized in the United States, but a permanent organization has been formed which will act in conjunction with the Cuban Junta in supplying troops, war munitions and counsel to the forces in the field.-\u2014 TIIE LUETGERT TRIAL.POLICE CHARGED WITH INTERFERING WITH THE WITNESSES FOR THE DF- FENCE.Chicago, Sept.23.\u2014Ex.Judge Vincent soon after Court opened in the Luetgert murder trial to-day asked that the jury be excluded while Le made a statement.After the jury had retired ex-Judge Vincent said :\u2014'If the Court please, there is strong reason to beheve that the police gre interfering with witnesses for the defence and trying to intimidate them.I do not say absolutely that this is true, but the indications point almost directly to that conclusion.7 desire an order of Court prohibiting such action on the part of the police or the prosecution.\u2019 \u2018Why not make the injunction cover both sides,\u201d suggested States Attorney Dineen.\u2018The Court does not require instructions from any of the attorneys engaged,\u2019 gharply responded Judge Tuthill.\u2018I will make the charge that witnesses for the defence have been interfered with and harrassed by the police,\u2019 said Attorney Phalen of the defence.\u2018If that is true there should he an Mrs.Rizal\u2019 in consultation with the The patriots have been stirred: The : investigation,\u2019 remarked State Attorney Dineen.If any witness for the defence has been intimidated it has been done without knowledge of the state, and we do not approve of it,\u201d continued Attorney Dineen.\u2018I will say now for the benefit of the police,\u201d said Judge Tuthill, with severity in his tones, \u2018that if I hear of any interference with any of the witnesses on either side of the case I will deal with the offender, and my dealing will not be gentle.This defendant has rights here, and they will be protected.\u2019 \u2018Why not order an investigation 7° queried State Attorney Dineen.\u2018Mr.Dineen, this Court will make the order it deems proper.That will do.\u2019 When the jury was recalled Rosa Gleich was placed on the witness stand for cross-examination.This witness was called yesterday to \"impeach the evidence of Emma Sch mpke, given on the direct examination by the i prosecution.She stated that she was with Emma Schimpke on the night of May 1 until eleven o'clock, and remained with her until the latter entered Ler home.She denied emphatically that \u2018either of them had seen Luetgert and ' his wife leave the latter's residence and go to the sausage factory as described.She denied also that Gottlieba Schimpke, who testified that she also saw Luctgert and his wife, was with Einma and herself that night.Furthermore, the witness said that Emma Schimpke since she had testified in the case had admitted to the witness.in the presence of others, that she had lied.According to the witness, Emma Schimpke said she lied because Gottlieba, her weak-minded sister, had got her into the Luetgert case, i and she would not testify on Luetgert\u2019s \u2018side.The witness also stated that | Emma Schimpke tried to get her to tell \u2018the same story Emma had told to save the latter's reputation.i State Attorney Dineen went at this , witness with one of the most remarkable : cross-examinations ever heard in the criminal court.Ilis questions were fired at her with the rapidity of a repeating rifle worked to the limits of its spevd.The witness was quick-witted and replied promptly for a while, but she was not as resourceful as the lawyer, and after half an hour she became confused and her face blazed with excitement.Then she began to contradict hereelf as to important particulars and made corrections which weakened her evidence.Harry Fiedler corroborated Rosa Gleich's story, and aszerted that the mother of the Schimpke girl compelled the latter to tell the story she did.George Sholey, a bartender at the Maple House in Kenosha, Wis., testified that he eaw Mrs.Luetgert on the right of May 3.He said she came into his saioon weary, with bedraggled skirts, as if she had walked far.She inquired the direction to the house of a farmer named i Muller.The following day Sholey said he saw the woman again at Spring Bluff, a suburb of Kenosha.Sholey was not acquainted with Mrs.Luetgert, but from the description of her he was positive the woman he saw was she.Mrs.Mattie Sherrer.the last witness of the day, testified positively that Finma Schimrke told her that the testimony i the Schimpke girl had given on the witness stand was untrue.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 SWALLOWED A HATPIN.A NEWARK CHILD'S LIFE SAVED BY X RAYS AND BURGERY.| | ! | | | Newark, Sept.23.\u2014A delicate surgical ; Operation was performed at the German | Hospital last evening, by means of which \u2018a hatpin five and onc-half inches long was removed from a child's stomach.The subject of the operation was Lena Strippe, three and a half years old, the daugn- ter of August Strippe of Harrison.She \u201cwas playing on the floor on Monday, and found the hatpin, which she put in her mouth.It slipped down her throat.A woman in the room tried to grasp the point of the pin, which still protruded from the throat, but the child in breathing drew the pin down into her stomach.The little girl was taken to the German Hospital, where the location of the pin was determined by means of the X-rays.The pin was shown upright in the aeso- phagus, the point only a short distance froin the heart.A slight change in the position of the pin would have caused 11 to pierce the heart.On this account the utmost caution was necessary in the vp- eration for its removal, which is pronounced entirely successful.Mary Boro, seven years\u2019 old, of De- mott street.West Hoboken, swallowed a melon seed seven weeks ago.As it caused her no pain she did not inform her parents.On Sunday she complained of a sore throat and was taken to Dr.White, who subjected her to the X-rays.The photograph showed that the melon seed had lodged in her windpipe.An operaticn will be required for its removal.; > CONWAY SENTENCED.Voodstock, Ont.Sept.24.\u2014Ephraim Conway, found guilty of the marslanghter of young Frost, was arraigned for sentence at the close of the court yesterday.Mr.A.Ball read a letter from the prisoner addressed to the judge, containing a touching plea for mercy.The aged prisoner also spoke at some length, and repeated his version of the tragedy.le broke down two or three times in his speech, which moved to tears many of his auditors.The judge in passing sentence sald that he was compelled to pass a sentence in accord with the gravity of the offence.He advised the prisoner to apply to the governor-in-council for his release in case his health should fail.He was then sentenced to five years in Kingston.DoE Ru DES ta Le ET RS RES À di RER 0 0 CA J THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.THE CUBAN QUESTION.DENTAL FROM MADRID OF AN ULTIMATUM BY GEN.WOODWARD, SPANISH GOVERNMENT EXCITED OVER TEE ATTITUDE OF THE UNITED STATES.London, Sept.24.\u2014The Madrid correspondent of the \u2018Times\u2019 says :\u2014\u2018 The government organs roundly deny that Mr.Woodford had mentioned an ultimatum, but the public mind is not relieved thereby.The policy of the government in delaying and suppressing news, and directiv denying the truth of almost everything in any way unpalatable, must always tend to increase public uneasi- , ness.The correspondent adds :\u2014\u2018 The use of the word ultimatum is exaggerated.Gen.Woodford doubtless expresses himself energetically, but between this and fixing a period of six weeks to end a widespread insurrection under pain of taking up the cause of insurgents against a friendly power, there is a very wide distinction, and more especially so in the present political situation when a change of government more or less radical cannot be distant.Paris, Sept.23.\u2014A despatch to the \u2018Temps\u2019 from Madrid says :\u2014\u2018 The attitude of the United States has caused a great sensation at Madrid, because opinion has been lured on by the optimist communications of the Spanish minister at Washington upon the character and duration of the correct attitude of the United States Government, and that, too, despite the several warnings from Mr.Olney and Mr.Cieveland\u2019s message.The official bulletins of Captain-General Weyler also have received too much confidence, when the United States Government was every month receiving from its consuls and special envoys totally different news.The general impression at San Sebastian and Madrid is that the Spanish Government will try to drag the negotiations along unless it rejects, purely and simply, the good offices of the United States, on the ground of publie opin- lon and upon the further ground that the Opposition would not permit it to tolerate foreign intervention, even though amicable.Madrid, Sept.23.\u2014Senor Valera, formerly Spanish Minister at Washington, publishes an article on the Cuban situation, in the course of which he says that certain advantages were accorded to American subjects in 1877 as the result of the declarations of the Spanish Foreign Minister, but as these were not ratified by the Chamber, the government, he declares, can annul them., Senor Valera adds :\u2014\u2018 The majority of self-styled American citizens who claim indemnity are not, according to American law, legitimate citizens, but Cubans, who employ this means to obtain immunity and indemnities.It is believed that the American nation will end by doing justice to Spain.\u2019 New York,Sept.23.\u2014The following address has been issued to the members of the Cuban League by its president, Ethan Allen :\u2014\u2018A year of patriotic work is about to end in grandest results.Last spring nearly every governor of this Republic at our request, backed by the legislature of his state, spoke for Cuban independence.Many hundreds of thousands of citizens responding to the appeal of this league have made it manifest that public opinion is on the side of the Cuban insurgents and hostile to their oppressors.Now the hour of emancipation for Cuba is at hand.The commanding voice of the nation has at last reached the executive.Though the delay has been much too long, still the ret ribution at hand will excuse past delinquency.Qur Minister in Spain, with a patriotic President behind him, will do that which will soon end the murder, plunder, and tyranny in Cuba, preceding its certain entry into the list of free and rovereign states.This nation is ready with guns and men if necessary.Every member of this league should be alert to uphold the president in such a policy.Let all, when the moment comes, say to him, \u201cAll divisions end at the water\u2019s edge.\u201d Paris, Sept.24.\u2014The \u2018Figaro\u2019 warns the government that Germany is earnestly considering whether Europe should allow the United States to drive Spain out of Cuba, and recalls the fact that the war of 1870 arose from the mistakes made by French diplomacy in regard to Spain.SOLD FORGED AUTOGRAPHS.Berlin, Sept.23.\u2014A man named Ky- rieleis and his wife were arraigned before the Criminal Court here to-day to answer the charge of selling forged autographs of Martin Luther.The evidence showed that Kyrieleis collected books of the Reformation period, on the flyleaves of which he inseribed Scriptural verses and hymns, and attached the signature of T.uther.His wife then sold the volumes for large sums to antiquaries and libraries in the various continental cities, Kyrieleis was acquitted on the ground that he was insane, but his wife was convicted and sentenced to eighteen months\u2019 imprisonment.ACCIDENTALLY XILLED.Abercorn, Que., Sept.24\u2014John Clark was accidentally kiiled here last Thursday.He was assisting at a threshing when his foot slipped and he fell, striking his stomach violently on a board.He lived only half an hour afterwards.4 4 MICHIPICOTEN GOLD FIELDS.RETURNED PROSPECTORS SAY THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEN.Sault Ste.Mare., Mich,, Sept.23.\u2014The steamer \u2018Telegram\u2019 arrived from Michi- piccten this morning with about eighty passengers.The usual number of tenderfoots returned on her without staking any claims, which they expected to find on the shore of Lake Wawa go numerous that they would require colored glasses to save their sight from the reflection of the gold.Ex-Mayvor Jay Hursley was among the party, accompanied by Messrs.D.McGregor and Arthur Cracknell.They brought specimens with them that would not talk.The fact that Mr.Hursley returned to Wawa on the \u2018Telegram\u2019 this afternoon with four others interested with him is significant.One of the eyn- dicate who is interested with Mr.Hurs- ley told your correpondent that they found and located veins crrrying free gold which will bear out their strongest expectations.Mr.H.J.Hopkins, a prominent oil dealer of Buffalo, who also came in this morning, brought a specimen containing free gold,

TRADE.Quebec, Sept.24.\u2014The outlook in the boot and shoe trade here, which has been rather dark for some time past, is now reported to be improving, and maru- facturers are correspondingly jubilaut.Orders have been pouring in of late to a far greater extent than at any other similar period for many years past.The prosperity of the western farmer is ne cepted as in a degree responsible for the change for the better in the trade.In view of the increased demand, it is said that King Brothers of Toronto will shortly open a branch factory in Quebec, and that the Bresse factory, lately closed, wii be shortly reopened.ROBBERIES.It looks as if a very expert and daring gang of burglars were operating in this city and neighborhood.At an early hour yesterday morning, presumably between four and five, one of the plate glass show windows of Mr.C.A.Panet, hardware dealer, at the corner of Bridge and St.Joseph streets, was cut without attracting the attention of the police or any one else, and a hundred and fifty dollars\u2019 worth of Winchester rifles, chot- guns, revolvers, etc., carried off without any trace being left of the robbers.And the night before, the safe in Julien\u2019s general store at Pont Rouge was dynamited and fifty dollars in cash taken.In connection with the latter burglary one arrest has been made, but it is very doubtful that the authorities have the guilty party.NOTES.The examination of the candidates for admission \u2018to practice as cullers, which has been going on here for some days past, was completed last evening.There were thirty

BYJUDGE M'KENNA\u2019S RECENT RULING.New York, Sept.23.\u2014A Boston despatch to the \u2018Sun\u2019 today says :\u2014 Attorney-General McKenna\u2019s decision regarding the meaning of section 22 of the tariff bill means a great deal to roads like the Boston & Maine, which handles thousands of tons of foreign merchandise brought through Canada by the Canadian Pacific Road.The New England railways, local railway men say, would have been sure in the end to suffer more than the Canadian roads themselves, because the latter would have been helped by the retaliatory measures which the Canadian Government might have put in effect against the United States had the section been sustained by the Attorney-General.The immediate result of the decision will be to release an immense quantity of merchandise now waiting on the rails at Montreal and other L'anadian centres until the matter was settled.In one case there is a shipment of $125,000 worth of kangaroo skins from Australia waiting to be sent across the border.They are consigned to Boston concerns, and are wanted badly by them.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 BOOTH-TUCKER AT DENVER.Denver, Colo., Sept.24\u2014Emma Booth-
