+ MARCH 13, 1899.\u2018PAVONIA\u2019 AT LIVERPOOL.Liverpool, March 13.\u2014There was a remarkable demonstration on the arrival of the \u2018Pavonia\u2019 here on Saturday.Crowds of people gathered on the quays and cheered her lustily.The steamer presented a very battered appearance, her rails being carried away or twisted, and her topmast being gone.the crew and their wives, many of the women weeping with joy.The officials of the Cunard Line refuse to allow reporters on board the steamer on the ground that the whole circumstance of the \u2018Pavoma's\u2019 breakdown would be investigated in due course of time.The company, however, denounced the charges of cowardice said to have been brought against Captain Atkins and Chief Engineer Duncan, by passengers of the \u2018Pavonia,\u2019 who reached New York on March 7, by the Portu- arc | malignant and unfounded.\u2019 The officials of the company almost declared that the details of the breakdown of the \u2018Pavonia\u2019 already known sufficiently refute the charges.; - _\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SC ; Ce 3 2 MR.KIPLING.4 | New York, March 13\u2014Rudyard Kip- | ling passed a good night and felt consid- | erably refreshed this morning.Mr.Dou- : bleday said to-day that Mr.Kipling showed decided improvement over yes terday.- There is a belief that the patient will now make even faster progress towards good health than before as each day the author's sleep and rest become more refreshing to him.London, March 13\u2014The Emperor William's message to Mrs.Rudyard Kipling has naturally attracted great uttentionm, particularly the reference to \u2018our common race\u2019 \u201cThé first impression here was that the Emperor William thought Kipling was an American, especially 8 the German papers referred to the \u2018American author Kipling,\u201d but this impression is quite erroneous.The Emperor was a reader of Kipling's writings long before he settled in America.His Majesty, however, knew that Kipling's wife was an American, and it is thought he intended to include America when he spoke of the \u2018 cammon race.\u2019 The \u2018Spectator\u2019 to-day says: \u2018The Ym- peror is evidently willing to substitute the Teuton for the Anglo-Saxon as the ruling race of .the.future.He did not venture to call Kipling an American, but, being anxious.that his telegram should be taken as a compliment to Americans ra- yther.than En lishmen, the German jcur- = an American at least\u201d In another article the \u2018Spectator\u2019 remarks: \u2018It must be a singalar experience, even for Kipling, to vake up from a serious illness and find that two great people have been interested in his fate, that an Emperor has grieved for gard to the future of China.If this is satisfactory to the American people it is not for anybody else to offer an opinion.This, however, may be said: An apparently inspired cable message from Washington says that in reply to an enquiry by Italy, Secretary Hay answered that the American Government would preserve a neutral attitude regarding Italy's demand upon China.Between ltaly and China the American attitude may De neutral, but this very neutrality on such point is equivalent to taking sides against the policy of keeping China open to universal trade.CECIL RHODES AND GERMANY.The German Emperor's telegram to President Kruger, which almost provoked a war between England and Germany, and actually resulted in the equipping of a flying squadron, was, of course, still fresh in the public mind at the time of the Queen's Jubilee procession here.In that procession, among the representa: tives of foreign royal houses, the figure of the German envoy was especially conspicuous in his white Body Guard uniform, with a large silver eagle upon his helmet.During its progress through the East End of London the process was brought to a temporary standstill.A voice from the dense crowd shouted: \u2018Hi, Mister! You with the tin pigeon on your \u2018at! The magnificent German Was so ill-advised as to turn toward the speaker.Instantly and loudly the question was launched at him: \u2018Do vou want to know where the telegraph office is?\" Cecil Rhodes\u2019s reception at a special private audience to-day by the Emperor William proves how completely all such feelings arising from that famous telegram are buried in oblivion; how thoroughly the Germans have now appreciated that their view of the Transvaal situation was a mistaken one.Rhodes\u2019s \u2018Cape to Cairo\u2019 telegraph and railway must pass through either the Congo State or German East Africa.In view of the anarchy existing in the former and its uncertain future, the latter is obviously the more desirable route, for where Germany reigns in Africa peace is enforced, and commerce is encouraged.lt may now be safely said that the British Government will guarantee the Rhodes ian loan to carry the railway forward to Zambesi.Moreover, Rhodes's visit to Egypt was doubtless concerned with some ergagement between himself and the Egyptian Government regarding the raii- way to Khartoum and the southward.It to indicate any definite policy with re- = Le agen TU German sympathy, as foreshadowed by | the reception accorded to Rhodes to-day by the official German press, is forthcoming, this colossal enterprise enters upon a new phase.The Emperor and Rhodes Ihave in their strong character, thelr boundless imagination, their optimistic faith, their disregard of enemies and opposition, enough in common to make it probable that the powerful co-operation of the former may be won.At any rate, this daring railway across the vast stretches of unexplored and unimaginable African savagery proves comfortably that this old country, in spite of its Atlas like load, is mot disposed to shirk \u2018the white man's burden.\u2019 EFFECT OF ESTERHAZY\u2019S REVELATIONS.The Esterhazy revelations have been ac: ! cepted by the entire l\u2019aris press.Already several results loom in sight, General de Doisdefire is being hastily thrown over beard by the anti-Semites, while Rochefort denounced him yesterday as \u2018a worthless fellow, ignorant as a carp.\u201d This 1° the first breach in the close ranks of the general staff, and all its members are so united in the conspiracy that when one goes he will infallibly drag down the others.Thus daylight will penetrate.Iu Paty de Clam was so upset by Esterhazy's narrative that he immediately announced that he would publish his own revelations.For the moment he has been prevailed upon to maintain silence, but the final betrayal of the truth is now begun and must inevitably continue.The key to the character of this extraordinary man is that he is an old-fash- joned \u2018soldier of fortune,\u2019 ready to sell est scruple to the highest bidder; loyal so long as he is duly paid and loyally supported: a man, in fact, who is actuated in this nineteenth century by the morals of the thirteenth.WHAT FAURE MIGHT HAVE DONE.Hugues le Roux, the well-known novelist, who acted as a kind of factotum to President Faure, has just stated that the \u2018late President told him he was prepared, sir it became necessary in order to put a stop to the attacks upon the army.to | sign a declaration of war without asking lfor the constitutional consent of \u2018he { Chambers.I'THE ANGLO-FRENCH SETTLEMENT, It is not correct that the Anglo-French { negotiations have made any progress recently.The flat contradiction between the British and French official statements about the settlement of the Muscat dispute was due to a breach of con- his sword or his word without the slight-; L Ito the income tax, which is already eight- \u2018tion to both the local and national rev- him in words having the weight of a

TEMPERANCE CRISIS.\u2014\u2014 fidence in repeating in the Chamber of Deputies Lord Salisbury's private remark at the Foreign Office.The latter said he regretted the threat to bombard Muscat unless the Sultan cancelled the French concession, but, according to diplomatic etiquette, Delcasse had no right to say in the Chamber that England had apologized.France has the right to a coaling wharf there, but not to a fortified coaling station and this plan she has been compelled to abandon.As regards the Upper Nile, the Anglo-French settlement will give to france a commercial outlet upon the Nile, possibly at Meshra er Rek, and such a line of demarkation in Bahr el \u2018Fhazal as will join her West African territories without the danger of the British-Egyptian sphere ever pushing in between them.BRITAIN\u2019S FINANCIAL PROBLEM.In spite of an increase of #14,000,000 in the navy estimates, naval experts are complaining that the new programme is insufficient, quoting Captain Mahan\u2019s remark that \u2018No nation has ever had enough cruisers.\u2019 In a total extra expenditure of sixteen and a quarter millions, the naval increase is only six and three-quarter millions.Three millions have been distributed in doles to landowners and church schools, and over a million- sacrificed by diminishing the tobacco tax, without any appreciable benefit to the consumer.The keenest anxiety is manifested to know how Sir Michael Hicks-Beach will meet the deficit, whether by suspending the repayment of the national debt, a step regarded by careful firanciers as an ultimate resort to raise a huge sum in case of War, or by adding Toronto, March 13.\u2014Mr.Duncan Marshall, grand secietary of the Independent Order of Good Templars, who was ile chief organizer of the Patrons of Indus try, and who did most of the organizing in Ontario for the Dominion Alliance paign, said to the ' Witness\u2019 -orrespon- dent that from his knowledge of the prohibitionists of Ontario the views enunciated in the \u2018 Witness\u2019 «ditorial | upon the letter of Sir Wilfrid Lourier, | would find an echo in the hearts of ihe temperance people of Ontario.The line of aggressive and determined action indicated by the \u2018Witness\u2019 would, he was convinced, be adopted, whiie the at ternative proposals of the immediate organization of a third party would nr.t be likely to be approved.The Rev.Dr.Courtice, editor of the \u2018Christian Guardian,\u2019 said :\u2014 L am reproducing the advice of the ' Nitness' editorial as telzgraphed to the \u2018Globe It has been and certainly is the duiy of the government to take some action in the direction of prohibition.\u2018There is every indication that ut the Dominion Alliance meeting cu Juesday afternoon a plan will be agreed uuon for a very thorough renewal of the national campaign for prohibition.\u2018The cfficers of the Alliance, while declining to speak in the name of the organization until af- \"| ter

PROPRIATE PUBLIC FRAN CHISES.One of the most important reaturcs of the new city charter which came int» force on Saturday is the provision made to restrict the f i à VIRE .\u2018 1¢ will be remembered that in the old charter 2 mere majority at any Council meeting could award any franchise for any length of time.In their oricinal draft cf the new charter the legal commissioners recoumend- ed that the city be empowered to acquire any public rights or franchises conferred upon or enjoyea ny any persons ur corporations on paying an indemnity therefor, and also that any by-law involving any contract or agreement fer the alienation of any public franchises ba first submitted for the approval of the real estate owners of the city.The commissioners took the view in this respect that the public franchises of the city are assets of enormous value and should not be disposed of without the -anction of those who are most interested in the city\u2019s welfare, and that, if so dispos:d of, the person or corporation in vontiol of these franchises should have no right to claim any consideration against the city at the end of the term of their contract, for privileges granted for a \"ini:ed period only.The clauses giving cffect to these ideas as submitted by the commissioners, were amended by the special committee, \u2018he City Council and the legislature.The provision for a reference to the proprietors has been struck out, as wlso .he amportant provision that in case of expropriating a franchise such expiopr.a- tion shall not take into consideration the value of any franchise derived irom the city for which in no case sha\u2019l the city be liable to pay or to indemnify : ny parts poysesing the same in case oi +x- nrobriatiquie\u2026 : LC In spite of - hese amendments the 1ew clauses governing franchises are important.The clause providing for the \u2018x- propriation of franchises comes first in the charter, and reads as follows :\u2014 461, If, wben any munteipal franchise ex pires by limitation of time, or when any franchise or right to use the -etreets of the city, is not exercised during a period ot five years after the same has been acqulr- ¢d by any corporation or individuel, it is deemed advisable by the council that the | city should own and adwmirister any or all such municipal franchises, rights au iv iliges for the heating or lighting of the ait or any of the buildings therein by gas, electricity, or other agencies, or for the use of the streets, lanes or highways of the city for raflway.traction, conduits, telegraphic, telephonic, or any other purposes whatsoever, the said franchige, rights and privileges, no metter by whom they may ne possessed, owned or covtrolled, the coun.Il may acquire the same by purchase or other agreement; and if they are not ac- quared by purchase or agrcement, they may be ecquised by expropriation, either after, or without any step or proceeding being taken, towards any acquisition by agree- The clause regulating the grant of pub lic franchises is the following : \u2014 531.No person, partoership, syndicate, company or corpcration whatever, shall, in future, have or exercise any franchise right or privilege in, over, upon or under ony street, lape, public place or\u2019 highways (including Mount Royal Park and St.Helen's Island park), for \u2018constructing or operating street or

interested in the development of the St.Lawrence trade.The veteran Captain Barrett, commodore of the Allan line fleet, will feel keenly the loss of the vessel of which he was in charge, and of which he was no doubt very proud.At the same time, he has the consciousness of duty well done, and that it was through no fault of his own that the lamentable accident happened.lt was the effect of uncharted currents, on which even such a veteran seaman as Captain Barrett, who has traversed the to attend the funerals same route all his life, conld not count.If there is fault with any one it is with the Department of Marine, which has put a stop to the tidal survey, the object of which is to note such currents and put navigators in a position to avoid them.Had that work gone on, it might pot vet have taken up this particular bit of sea, for it will take many years to complete, but.all the same, the disaster accentuates the demand that has not be made by the Board of Trade, that this work should go on, and ceased to warrants the continued urgency of scientific men on its behalf.cumstance in the case of this wreck, as in that of the \u2018Labrador,\u2019 the other day, Thq promptitude with which steps were taken to provide for the safety of the passengers and their effects and the care with which the details were carried out, reflect great credit upon the officers and crew of the unfortunate ship.While this was the first such accident to Allan line steamers for many years, it is particularly unfortunate that such a fine specimen of the shipbuilder's art, and one which was to have added so much to the standing of the St.Lawrence route, should have come to grief during her first voyage.The loss of the \u2018Castilian\u2019 is a misfortune not only to her owners, but to the port of Montreal and to Canada.The year has started badly for the great Canadian companies.A fortunate cir- is that no lives were sacrificed._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 General De Boisdeffre, whose sudden appearance in England hae lent new interest to the Dreyfus affair, was at one time expected to be the \u2018Man on Horseback,\u2019 the \u2018General Boulanger of the revolution which was to end the third republic of France.\u201d He is perhaps the most deeply involved of all the French officers in the Dreyfus affair.At the time of the Dreyfus court-martial, he was the head of the general staff of the French army, and was more responsible than any other single person perhaps for the illegal proceedings which marked that affair all through.It was in consequence of his maladministration, in fact, that Dreyfus was made the victim ; it was he who was to blame for the persecution which Colonel Picquart suffered, and it was because of his opposition to the admission of evidence having reference to the Dreyfus case that the court decided against that course in the Zola case, and: so brought about the conviction of that author.The evidence of General De Boisdeffre and his colleagues saved those precious rascals, Major Esterhazy and Colonel du Paty de Clam, from prosecu- tior.But in spite of all General De Boisdeffre's efforts to prevent revision in the Dreyfus case, and just when he thought that he was on the point of success, the confession of Lieut.-Colonel Henry that he had forged one of the documents relied upon to confirm the righteousness of the sentence against Dreyfus, and his suicide or murder after arrest, left his chief, General De Bois deffre, without any defence, and he immediately resigned his office as head of the general staff.Major Esterhazy's recent disclosures seem to have rendered General De Boisdeffres position in France perilous, and he has arrived in England, whether as a refugee or to col- logue with Major Esterhazy and prevent further disclosures is not known.ce \u2014 DEALS DEFEATED.It may comfort some to know that they have not been alone in not having been able to follow the labyrinthine reports of the progress of the city charter bill through the committees and the full chambers of both houses at Quebec.What with amendments and sub amendments, what with the deletion and restoration of clauses, known only by their numbers, what with references to things previously stated, but not clearly understood, even the most diligent and the most expert have found it difficult to keep any track of what has been happening to the important interests that were being tossed about.The \u2018Witness\u2019 is trying from day to day to clear up matters, but we fear that a good many have grown weary in trying to follow things and have given up reading in columns where charter matters are referred to.The best work that was done by the Good Government people at Quebec was in the shape of preventing raids on the city\u2019s depleted finances.There was a combi: nation between the Bonsecours market scheme, the Notre Dame street east widening scheme and the St.Antoine street widening scheme.The first of these commanded a compact group of suburban French members, the second had the determined advocacy of the Mayor and his stalwart following, while the third had the group of which Dr.Guerin is the centre, ready to Vote for his sake for anything that would further it.There was a coalition between these, which had \u2018things almost all its own way in the Lower House.It was, however, defeated in the Council ; and this is to be said for Mr.Beausoleil, that he stood stalwartly with the Good Government people all through, making the most powerful appeal that was made- The combination that was thus checked was about the most unblushing on our city's not very clean record.There was in none of the schemes any serious question of the public convenience.The interests represented and.for that matter.the interests advocated were those of proprietors of land\u2014often proprietors\u2014who are anxious, for some reason, to sell their land to the city, and when the city, with all its lavishness, was found unwilling to buy, anxious to get the legislature to force it to do so.In some cases the advocates of those measures in and before the legislature had notoriously been recent purchasers of lots where the improvements were expected to be made.They had presumably purchased at their market value these lands, very recent | which they have since been holding at a risk, and, in many cases, at a loss.It is therefore to be presumed, and certainly is presumed by the whole community, that their calculation was that the expropriation methods of the city would, if they could be brought into play, give them much more than their value.With one leading advocate of the schemes this calculation was presumably based on experience, for the Guerin family were considerable recent owners of frontages on Notre Dame street, on St.James street and on St.Lawrence Main street when these were widened, and it is to be presumed that they made well out of these speculations ventured s0 largely on St.Antoine street.It is to be presumed also that they did not venture into these St.Antoine street properties beyond their depth, and that Dr.Guerin's frantic engineering to get this before they expropriation through was not a life- struggle.e\u2014\u2014 THE PARK.With regard to the park, it has been delivered from new raiders, but the franchise of the Incline Railway, obtained largely by impudent trespass, has not only been made a monopoly, but has been confirmed and rendered perpetual.À clause was slyly added, and unfortunately Laccepted by the Park Protection Association, requiring the city to buy out that concern at the value its monopoly gives it or else renew its franchise when it expires.It might be fair enough to ask the city to buy out its plant at a valuation, but why the city should have to pay for the permanent value of a franchise which it had not permanently conceded, it is very hard to see.No one will, we think, accuse the patriotic association referred to of wilfully playing into the hands of this concern, but it will be remembered that during all the time when it was, bit by bit, taking possession of territory which it had no right to, there was no protest from the citizens, and since the Park Protection Association arose its ernscegy has been spent on preventing any competition with it; so much iso that the principal promoter of the Incline Railway boasted that he was working the Park Protection Association.We fully admit, and have all along fully admitted, the desirableness of having an elevator for the Mountain.What we objected to was the cool way in which this company took possession without leave of the very spot where it could make its rails through Fletcher\u2019s field, its savage cuttings through the hillside, its flying ladder, its power-house with its smoke, and its pavilion, most prominent and most injurious to the beauty of the park.Things of this sort should be done by the city itself, or at least the lines should be marked out by park engineers, such as Colonel Olmsted, who first laid out the park, and should be placed where they will contribute to beauty as well as to convenience.We presume that the Association regarded this disfigurement as an accomplished fact, and their powder in attacking.They should not, however, have given countenance to its perpetuation, now that they have made it a monopoly.ee SIDEWALKS.The proposal of the City Council that householders should be held responsible for injuries resulting from badly kept sidewalks has met with the fate it deserved, It is bad enough that the city the function of keeping their sidewalks or could do at a tenth part of the aggregate expense- The method in use is, however, the primitive one, and, in a certain rude and unsatisfactory way, it works, but what was proposed by the should throw off upon the householders : in winter, a thing which the city survey- | council would not work.It is hard to say which would be in the worst plight, the poor widow seeking to recover for a broken leg resulting from the ice trap set by some wealthy religious corporation on a hillside or the millionnaire trying to recover his loss through a similar calamity from the poor widow.Our side- are undoubtedly perilous\u2014much more so since it became the law to clear them to the stones.Who has not seen walks | i \u201cbeen arrested for he.the

and inspect the sidewalk lest a square foot of glassy ice should have formed! And how absolutely certain that this will not Le done! There are indeed many householders who never see their own sidewalks.There are ladies who always drive when they go out ; there are citizens whose garden gates are at the city end of their grounds or who have frontages on streets which they do not frequent ; there are religious ladies who apparently never attempt the perilous passage of the sidewalk outside the convent wall, or know anything of the nuisance they maintain.How much easier and better the work would be done if there was an expert sidewalk keeper for every given section of frontages, whose business it would be to proceed over his beat with a hand-cart of hot ashes and a sand-bellows whenever the weather called for it, and if the policeman counted it among his duties to keep such a one alert.[\u2014 THE EXPLODED REVOLUTION.Those who a few weeks ago prophesied a French revolution within days, if not within hours, now say that the danger is over, and that the threatened revolution has exploded in a burst of derision and laughter.The Parisians, who are witty rather than humorous, and take themselves somewhat too geriously, especially in times of political excitement, | are certainly at present sane enough to be able to recognize and enjoy the comic touches which are never wanting even in successful French revolutions, though when things end seriously these are not observed by Parisians, which perhaps accounts for the seriousness of the ending.Now the Parisians are inclined to find a good deal of humor in the disturbing conditions created by the death of the late President.They are convinced that the bourgeois, M.Faure, really considered himself a sort of \u2018man of destiny,\u201d and encouraged the conspiracies of the leagues and the army against the republic, in the hope that he would be permanently elevated into the company of the royal personages of Europe, of which he was so ridiculously fond.He was in reality a weak nonentity with a curiously dignified bearing which secured him respect and was a factor in his success, but which failed him at critical moments and covered him with ridicule.It is said that the aristocratic people attached to both the monarchical and imperialist causes played upon his ambition for their own ends, and flattered him into believing that \u2018he might be received into fashionable society as though entitled to it by birth,\u2019 and that one high-born dame was heard to exclaim, when she heard of his death: < All wae going so well, and behold, every- \u2018 thing breaks up because he lets himself \u201cdie.Even MM.Deroulède and Marcel-Hu- bert, the French deputies to whom fell the heroic duty of springing the revolution, are laughingly called fools and lunatics \"by the very men who encouraged them therefore one that they would be wasting {in their madness.\"turning from the funeral of the ex-Presi- When the army, redent, refused to follow them \u2018to Paris\u2019 and \u2018to the Elysée, as they kept shouting along the line of march, and had declined to listen seriously to their harangues in the barrack yards, the heroes could not be persuaded to take themselves off in peace.\u2018We want to be arrested by the army,\u201d \u2018We want to be ar rested by the army,\u201d they kept shouting, until at last General Roget sent for the police, who took them to the Jock-up.Then they were afraid they might be treated as mere rioters and discharged after a few hours or days\u2019 imprisonment, so, to avoid the unheroic fate, M.Derou- lède wrote to the premier, M.Dupuy : 'I \u2018have not been arrested for merely re- \u2018 fusing to leave the barracks;

that is, if Italy can possess herself of the piece of China at her own expense.Britain does not undertake to get San-Moon for Italy.She merely says, as she did in the case of Erythrea, the province which Italy is now repre sented as surrendering, \u2018You may.\u201d Erv- threa, while it has been nothing but a bill of expense and a political peril to Italy, would be an important acquisition for Britain.Ervthrea's dimensions are not large, as African spheres of influence go, being only some 85,000 gquare miles, but it commands the trade route to the greater part of Abyssinia.If it should carry with it Italian Somaliland, which is still more of a burden to Jtalv.\u2018t would add 400,000 square miles, rn in minerals.Thesz with the Soudan, most insulate country an enclave, like the two butch republics in southern Africa.Ther cession to Great Britain would sulze:! the foreign policy of the ancient ws dom of Abyssinia to Britains cour.In other words, it would make Abys-na, for a controlling influence in which Ita, Russia, France and other countries hav two surround Abyssinia, territories, and ai mulonx © à go long been diplomatically conten] a potentially a part of the British ampire which would thus include the wie of Africa The only power that would be abc \u2018a offer Abyssinia an outlet js Fr.w which has been u=ing Abyssinian terr.1.as part of her coveted highway Africa.The hinterland of the Freon h port of Obok extends to the vague bound ary of Abyssinia, and a railway from the French coast to Harras 15 now lems built.This French territory is inde] somewhat in the position that Delay Bay was to the Transvaal until Buton by negotiation extinguished Portugdi\u2019s control there.It would be much more difficuit to deal with France.It 1~ to be hoped, however, that Italy will retain Erythrea, in which rhe is doing good from Alexandria to Memb.dos work as her shure of the white man\u2019s burden. nd h tp cible n at nzth ge story xp ceded Brit font: ita to from ce of 8 her- vn ex- ke to nerely threa, repre- Erv- but a ri] to isition na are uence miles, to the shoul! which aly.ct x, Iii itories, nd al- gz that butch Their subject a king Contr.vasinia, h Ttaiv, es have ending, empire, hole of mbast- able to France, erritory ACTORS French bound?rom the v heing andeed Del iene Britain rtugdl\u2019s h more I+ 1s to t retain z good man\u2019s Monpay.Marcu 13, 1899.THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.b VEN.ARCHDEACON On the Origin and Continuity of the Church of England.M]sSIONARIES OF ROME WITHIN HERb | | | | | | MILLS | Church of Rome, but one who would not submit to the arrogant and illegal claims of the Bishop of Rome.His name was Theodore ;

The township of Lawrencetown is irom eighty to twenty miles east of Halbiax Harbor.It is named in honor of Governor Lawrence, who promoted the settlement of this district, not long after Halifax was founded.The land near the city being very rocky and hard to cultivate, it was deemed wise to have the comparatively fertile lands to the eastward setl- tled in order to supply the city with vegetables and hay, which were difficult to procure in those days.The southern shore of Nova Scotia for about twenty miles inland is generally very rocky.This belt extends from Cape Sable to Canso, and contains valuable gold mines, but is not well adapted to agriculture\u2014a fact which meant serious difficulty in the early days of Halifax.| West of the harbor are bare granite hills, an ideal place for fortifications, and strong forts and big guns are there now.But to find land for potatoes and cabbage and hay men had to go eastward along the shore.Here were tound extensive marshes, which are mot yet fully reclaimed.Though so near the city, water fowl are still so abundant that two sportsmen shot a hundred and twenty-eight wild ducks in a single morning two years ago.These marshes are formed in a remarkable manner.All along this coast the sca has a tendency to cast up a beach of sand or of rocks, sometimes alternately, first of sand then of rocks.These extend in: the form of a bow from head-land to headland.If the arm of the sea thus cut off from the main ocean is deep, it becomes | a fresh water lake; if it is shallow it becomes a marsh.Porter's Lake, eighteen miles long, was ojen to navigation twenty-tive years ago and several vessels were owned in it.Now an immense beach has been cast up by the ocean and what a few years ago was an arm of the sea is now a fresh water lake, several feet higher in level than the ocean.Large marshes have also been formed in another way.Along the shore there is often a row of sand hills, twenty-five feet high, thrown up by the wind; then there is a strip of land where sand and marsh mingle, and which is very fertile, | capable of producing immense crops of vegetables.The sea caats on the shore during rough weath vast quantities of weed and sometimes myriads of fish of all; kinds.This debris furnishes manure, which the thrifty farmers gather morning, by morning, no matter what the weather; may be.Just off Lawrencetown th warships lie when they have target-prac tice.The quick-fire guns of the \u2018Re-| nown,\u2019 the flagship on this station last summer, sound at a distance of three or four miles, just like a \u2018partridge drumming.\u2019 But when the \u2018Renown\u2019 fires her heavy guns the windows and door rattle in every house for miles.The torpedo boats are a sight to see; small, low and black, crammed with steam and fire, one can liken them only to demons as they go darting through the water, sending the foam in hissing jets from their bows.There are shipwrecks here every yeal.Indeed it is one of the principal \u2018lots\u2019 in the graveyard of the Atlantic.But the feature most attractive in this region is the stretch of the sand beaches, Imagine a smooth, sandy slope a mile in length shaped like a bow, with the waves stirred by a gentle summer breeze and rushing inland in endless procession, foaming white and seeming \u2018soft as cari- ed wool,\u2019 rushing on and on as if striving in a race, dashing into foam on the sands and sliding back till they are met nd coverad by the next row of incoming waves.Even on a calm day the waves break white on the shoals and rocks; but when the winter winds sweep up from the south coast and stir the waves to fury a sight is presented that is worthy going miles to see.Then the huge waves of the Atlantic that rolled and gathered volume for thousands of miles, dash themselves into foam on these sands.and the spray is carried far inland, coating the windows with salt till they lool: like frosted glass.The great rollers of the Alantic as they come toward the shoal water gradually become more per- pendicnlar on the side toward shore, till goon they begin to pour over \u2014 break \u2014 turn to foam, and thus rush on to the sand, showers of spray streaming behind like an enormous white mane.Stirred to the bottom, the water soon becomes brewn with seaweed and sand, and presents a beautiful, but awe-inspiring scene.An aecount of a remarkable accident that occurred here some time ago may give an imp on ef these waves as they break in thunder on the shore.One evening in July two young men went out in a sixteen-foot boat to set mackerel nets.There was « heavy sea, but the wind had gone down to a fair sailing breeze.Prudence would have required them to row ashore, but, proud of their beautiful new boat, they hoisted the sail, and she was soon rushing through the water like a thing of life.Fishermen never fasten a sail down hard; a turn of the line is given round the pin and then held in the hand.Thus the sail can be let go in an instant.Failure to take this precaution leads to many boating accidents every year.Charlie sat at the tiller, and Henry Looking back Henry saw an enormous wave come rushing on companion, \u2018We're going to catch it this time,\u2019 expecting it would break over the boat's managed the sail, astern; and called to his stern, and perhaps half fill her.Suddenly, the boat seemed to stand still.What probably happened was this:\u2014When the high wave came near they were becalmed right in front of it, at the very moment they most needed to dart forward.Henry felt the boat fly up at the stern close the door.It squeaked horribly as I pushed it shut, and then 1 fount that it wouldn't latch.Tt had shrunk so that the socket which should bave caught the latch was a trifle too high.1 was a boy of some mechanical genius, and 1 noticed what the trouble was immediately.\u2018Where did you learn to close doors?\u201d said the man at the desk.I turned around quickly.\u2018At home, sir\u201d \u2018Well, what do you want\u201d \u2018I came to see about the boy wanted) until his companion was right above |] answered.him, and then violently upset, stern \u2018Oh!\u2019 said the man, with a grunt.He over prow.Both mien were plunged out.and the wave struck the boat's bottom with such force that she was split at stem and stern post.They quickly climbed on to her keel, but soon realized the danger of their position.They were rapidly drifting into breakers that in a single instant would dash them and their upturned boat to atoms.Mast and sail extending deep down into the water made it impossible to right the boat.Two minutes and all would be over.suddenly the boat's head turned to the wind and she ceased drifting.The anchor they used while cod-tishing had fallen out of the boat and was holding.A new danger now confronted them: the anchored boat no longer rose with the waves, which breaking over them constantly, threatened to wash them off their frail support.I+ was almost sunset A huge wave Was bearing down voa them.Ther watched the rainbow formed by the flying spray, and noticed the glorious tints of a summer sunset, scarcely expecting cover to sec another.They lav as flat as possible, and gripped the keel for dear Life.Swazh\u2014tons beat down upon them-crushing the breath\u2014almost the life\u2014out of them; but the wave {passed without having washed them away.What was to he done?Stand on the keel for the moment between the waves and brandish their hats.Yes, and they called though they could hardly hear themselves amid the roar of the sea.The frantic waving of their sou'westers wae reen by the one other beat that was out on that raging sea.In a short time the two men were rescued, from the clesest cal! till the last.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2018GUMPTION' AND A FILE.If a boy has any \u2018mechanical faculty,\u2019 if it comes handy to him to use tools, let him he thankful.Such a gift of na- ture\u2014\u2018gumption\u2019 it is sometimes called- deserves to be cultivated.It will serve its possessor many a good turn, though it may never scrve him quite so well as it served a man who tells his story in the Cleveland \u2018Plain Dealer.\u2019 He apen- ed the door for himself in a really striking manner.When I was fourtegn years old, he says, it became neccssary for me to go out into the world and earn mv share of the family expenses.1 looked about with small success for a week or two, and then T saw a card hanging in a store window, \u2018Boy Wanted.\u2019 1 pulled dewn my hair, Lrushed the front of my jacket, and walked in.\u2018Do you want a boy,\u2019 | asked of the clerk.\u2018Back office,\u201d he said.1 walked back to the little den with ADVERTISEMENTS.THE DANCEROUS KNIFE.CANCER ROOTS cannon be removed by operation, or by agonizing plasters, only give temporary relief, and in moat cases the disease returns in a worse form.We would be glad to send particulars of a painless method, which leading nhysicians are now adopting.The cures are remarkable.W.M.STOTT & JURY,Bowmanville.Ont.THE CHILD CAN'T HELP IT.When a child does wrong wilfully, there is somo reason in correcting it.But when a little one\u2019s Kidneys are weak\u2014can't control their water at night \u2014it\u2019s wrong to scold and punish.Thousands of children have been whipped for wetting the bed, who simply couldn\u2019t help it.Parents are coming to understand that this is a disease tuat needs curing\u2014not a \u2018\u2018bad habit \u2019\u2019 that requires correcting, and are giving their children DOANS KIDNEY PILLS, which strengthen and restore the Kidneys to healthy action, and prevent further trouble.Mrs.Young, 15 Garish Street, Halifax, N.S., cured her little boy by giving him Doan\u2019s Kidney Pills.This is what she says: \u201cMy little boy, 13 years old, has for several years been afflicted with weakness in the retention of his water, and did not seem to have any control of his urine.\u2018\u2018 Hearing of Doan\u2019s Kidney Pills, I rocured a box, and must say that they elped him wonderfully.He bas now finished his second box, and I feel they have cured him.He is pleased to think he can retain his water, as it was go distressing to have the trouble of this inconvenience \u2019 They seemed rather gruff, but somehow or other his crisp speech did not discourage me.\u2018Sit down,\u201d he added; \u2018I'm busy.\u2019 1 looked back at the door.\u2018If you don\u2019t mind,\u2019 1 said.\u2018and if a little noise won't disturh you.I'll fix that door while I'm waiting.\u2019 \u2018Eh,\u2019 he said, quickly, \u2018All right.Go ahead.\u2019 \u20181 had been sharpening my skates that morning, and the short file I used was still in my pocket.In a few minutes I had filed down the brass socket so that the latch fitted nicely.I closed the door two or three times to see that it was all right.When I put my file back in my pocket and turned round, the man at the desk was staring at me.\u2018Any parents\u201d he asked.\u2018Mother, 1 answered.\u2018Have her come in here with you at two o'clock,\u201d and turned back to his writing.At twenty-five | was a partner in the house;

Why, if it won't be eight o'clock before [ get there,\u2019 he said, half impatiently, as he glanced at the station clock above the beckstail.Just then a detaining hand was laid heavily on his shoulder, and à voice he knew said in a hurried, panting way, as though itsyowner were out of breath.\u2018Is that you, Templeton?god, it is you!\u2019 \u2018(alloway! What on earth's the matter?exclaimed Templeton, awed by the serious expression of this usually so cheer- ful-looking \u2018man about town.\u2019 \u2018Why, poor Courtney has just dropped down dying\u2014or\u2014or\u2014dead.Dead, the doctor says, only\u2014 \u2018What Courtney?The bustling crowd had passed on its way, and in the comparative silence that had fallen round, Templeton\u2019s voice had the distinct clearness of a pistol-shot.\u2018Why, your Courtney\u2014Angus Barclay Courtney.Good old A.B.C.as we used ta call him at school, I remember, \u2014for we were boys together\u2014 \u2018I don't believe it,\u201d interrupted Tem- ADVERTISEMENTS.THE LETTER CARRIER Suffered for Two Years with Itching Piles\u2014Two boxes of Dr.Chase's Ointment Effected an Ab- soluteCure.Oh, thank Mr.Zotique Chaput, letter carrier, residing at 191 Lagauchetiere strect, Moutrcal, writes as follows:\u2014\u2018It is with pleasure that I recommend Dr.Chase's Ointment for Piles.Two boxes cf this great remedy made a radical cure after 1 had suffvred from the terrible itching for over two years.\u2019 Mr.Chaput is a popular letter carrier whose statement will carry conviction among his friends.Owing Lo the superior merit of Dr.Chase's Ointment peuple feel it a pleasure and a duty to make known its value.1 | pleton, inconseguentially.\u201ccan't be dead.1 was up at his place last !on the back of the stove, ready for an DAUG HTER.n:ght.something ot that sort.1 \u20181 mean he 1 never saw him in better health It's a fant, or a swoon, of Where is he\u201d enquired l'empleton, striding as he spoke : towards the door of a first-class walling: toon, round which a little group of awe, struck looking peuple were gathered | \u2018Dear, dear, poor gentleman, it gave me! that turn as never was \"1 was standing | as close to him as | am to you when {| happened.\u201d \u2018He just threw up lis id or Spirits, were amongst the fragmentary remarks! which fell on John Templeton's ears, as, he said, \u2018Let me pass, please, | am a friend of the gentleman who has been taken so unwell.\u2019 But, alas, one look only at the still, grey face of his triend, was enough to convince John that this was no indispo- | sition.The straight stark figure of the, so-latelv-living man, was lying on a long | table in the centre of the room; the head resting on a folded tartan rug, placed there by the hands of a pitiful lady trav-| eller.And, amidst the noise as of many waters surging through his brain, John Templeton heard a voice saying, 'It is 8 shocking affair, a very shocking affair.A man in the prime of life, too,\u2014but death vas instantaneous.\u201d And then, as the speaker withdrew his hand from the region of that heart which would never beat again, he added, \u2018Is there any one present to whom this unfortunate gentleman is known?Because, if so, they had better communicate with his family.Ly am a doctor, and this is my card, in case my evidence should be required.In rather less than an hour, John Templeton stood on the doorstep of his dead friend's house, and the clock of a neighboring church chimed a quarter to eight.\u2018Is it possible that it can only be about ten minutes over the hour since I said it would be eight o'clock before 1 got here,\u2019 he mused.\u2018Why, it seems as though a vear had gone over my head since then.And somehow.as he looked up into the dark, vaulted sky, scintillating and twinkling with innumerable points of light, he felt a vague sense of irritation at the serene beauty of the night.\u2018What did the pitiless stars care, that the shadow of death was about to blot out the joy and gladness of this unconscious household.Unconscious.Ah! just now that seemed the worst part of it all to John Templeton.They did not know.And he had to tell them.The sound of music floated down from the drawing-room, childish voices were joining in some simple evering hymn.He knew how they were grouped, as well as if he could see them.Agnes at the piano, with the light from the standard lamp falling on the ripling beauty of her hair.The children gathered round her on either side, and the mother with her never-empty mending\u2019 bhsket, sitting near.Thought travels swiftly at such moments as these.\u2018I wonder, oh God, I wonder if they are provided for!\u2019 Templeton groaned, as for the third time he essayed to ring the bell.\u2018The master is late this evening, sir, said the neat, white-capped.maid who opened the door.\u2018But the mistress and Miss Agnes are in the drawing-roors, if you will please walk up.\u2019 \u201cThank vou, Jane, T will.\" said John, adding to himself.ac he stood at the foot of the stairs, with one hand on the banister.\u2018But I must wait until they have finished their song.\u2019 (To be Continued.) CHILDREN'S CORNER.THE TWO SAMUELS.(John A.Campbell, in \u2018Christian Intelli- gencer.\u201d) There was a rap on the kitchen door Miss Haddam, who was washing dishes at the sink, started slightly at the sound.\u20181 suppose it\u2019s Mrs, Mabie,\u201d she said to herself, making ready to answer the summons, \u2018but I don't care.I told her son that if he ever troubled my donkey again I'd bring him into the house and punish him, and I meant what I said, as he ought to have known.I'll tell his mother so.He deserved the whipping I gave hun.and I can\u2019t help it if his folks are angry Ready for an encounter, she passed to the door and opened it.But it was not an irritated neighbor who stood waiting in the little porch.Instead, Miss Jane's sharp eyes rested upon the short, slender figure of a boy of about twelve, whose shabby garments only partly served to protect him from the cold.The day was bright and sunshiny, but there was nevertheless a brisk wind blowing, which would even have swayed the door to and fro had not Miss Jane held it fast.\"Well ?she observed.\u2018Please, ma\u2019am, will you give me something to eat ?I haven't had anything since noon yesterday.[ The boy's voice, naturally soft, trembled as he asked the favor, and he fixed his eyes pleadingly upon the severe looking woman before him.Beautiful eyes they were, large and clear and blue, amply atoning for the faults visible in the pinched face.Miss Haddams\u2019 only Scores of hundreds of Montreal's citizens lave been cured of piles and Itching skin diseases by the use of Dr.Chase'\u2019s Ointment.Macy have written their apprecla- tion of this great discovery.One thing sure Dr.Chase's Ointment (ures piles where all other means fail.As « matter of fact it remains to bu proven that Dr.(ure piles, You can use it with absolute vonfidence.The first application will convince you of its ipestimable value to suffer- srs from piles or itching skin.AT all deal.\u201crs or Edman.;on, Bates & Co., Toronto.Cbase\u2019s Ointment ever falled to brother, who died at sixteen, had been the owner of just such eyes, and some touching memory made her reply in an unusually gentle voice.| \u201cYes.I'll find you something.in and warm yourself.She drew the lad into the cosy kitchen and closed the door : then she seated him in a chair by the stove, and bustled \"about in her active fashion from pantry \"to table, heaping a plate with meat and bread, and pouring a cup of hot, strong Come i That's my donkey out there in the field,\u2019 tea from the pot that was always kept till the end of a sermon, but of bringing the hearer suddenly face to face with the claims of Christ and of eternity.The fact that, as a boy, I always read the story in tracts given me and missed the last page has been a useful memory to me as a writer.Unconverted men will thoroughly enjoy two-thirds of your sermon when there is nothing in it to prick them; and when towards the end things get troublesome they will put up their umbrellas and drip your application down somebody else's neck.Dealing with souls is like angling: sometimes \u2018playing\u2019 a strong fish;

There is to be a daily, mutual teaching and helping to preserve from this ever active, soul-destroving sin.lt shut Israel out of Canaan, and it deprives most of God's children of that calm, peaceful, restful spirit which ie their privilege.We learn here the valué of daily Christian communion of saints.\u2019 3.Hold Fast \u2014We are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end.Heb.iii., 4.We are under Christ's government if we hold fast.Verse 6.Hold firmly, thoroughly.Never let go our firm confidence in God and Christ.We were saved by faith in Jesus at the first, and it is only through the same faith that we shall be kept by God's power unto the end.To faith nothing is impossible.To unbelief nothing is possible.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 spent in thls way that is needed to make your coat or suit as good us new.R.PARKER & CO.Dyers & Clesners, 1858 Notre Dame St.Montreal, Que.Phone (Bell) 1597.Phone (Merchants) 23.FREE!

political situation in Europe, the \u2018Moniteur du Commerce\u2019 says : \u2018At last France and England have agreed on one point which is essential for the peace and prosperity of the world \u2014that is, to settle their difficulties amicably.The common sense of the\u201d governments of both countries has prevailed over the provocations of fanatics and the vellow press to have war.\u2019 The article then goes on to say that one of the principal reasons for France and England coming closer together must be found in the necessity now existing for Europe to guard itself against Americanism in whatever shape or form it may appear.Further on the writer says :\u2014\u2019 Infatuation for the Americans, or rather, Sax- onisn, is loging ground in Great l'rituin.The people ther» are beginning to realize the selfish spirit of the Americans who, notwithstanding John Bulls guod- will, have not yet had the delicacy to thank him for having declared coal contraband of war at the beginning of hostilities between the United States and Spain.Another circumstance that contributed in no small measure to throw cold water on British enthusiasm for the Yankees, is the latter's attitude of exclusiveness towards Canada to which they would concede nothing at the recent meeting in Washington.\u2019 -\u2014\u2014 QUEBEC W.M.§.The first Quebec district convention of the Women's

club, 1 have no doubt that we could reach a membership ~f one hundred, ard T think we ought to make this our aim this season, In this connection I would suggest a inem- bership competition, gimilar to tho oue held by the association last ycar.Two tcams might be chosen,- of seven memilsrrs each, these to appoint their own captains, and If these men will werk hard, I bave no doubt cur membership could be very materially inc regsed, early in tho season.The club rides were very enjoyable, and were fairly well attended.Our sincere thanks are Œue to nur cap- .tain, for the very enjoyable evenings

more in his usual heaith.The international championships are to be held in Montreal this year.in August, under the C.W.A., and I am sure this club will do all in its power.towards making this meet a great success.At the annual mecting cf District No, 10, of the C.W.A., your president was appointed to represent this club on the Montreal District Counril of the C.W.A.and at a meeting of that rouncil, was appointed as chairman of the membership committee for the district.In concluding, let me urge upon every man to join the club immediately, and to take an active interest in seeing that

er.Lakeside, Boucherville, Mount Royal Park.Dixie, St.Laurent, Dorval, Cariier- ville, Ste.IRrse, Outremont, Ausablo | Chasm, etc.| Three evening rides were held,but as they \u201cdid rot prove popular, these were discontinued.| A few of our more enjoyable ontiigs 1 shall briefly describe.| On May 21, twenuy-two members lined {up for the ride to St.Laurent rave Course.When that place was reached sides were picked by the captain and the first lieutenant, and a very fast and even genic of ossociation football easued the vuntain\u2019s team coming off the victors by a score of = to none.The club then rode back to the city via Outremont to the home of our president, aud there went into I consumption of the sumptuous repast which awaited us, And a very enjoyable cven- ing followed.For May 24 a very varied ouling was planned.It was to have been our first | ladies\u2019 ride, and was to have taken the i form of a picnic at Chambly, but it raiu- É so bard for (wo days

car on the Royal Arcanum cxcursion to Ausable Chasm, N.Y | fifty-nine ladies and gentlemen assembled in our car, which, of rourse, was carrying our club streamer.The chasm was pronounced by all to be the most beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed.After this tp il was deemed advisable to discontinue the club rides until the latter end of August, when they were again resumed.But, probably for some of the rca.sons already statad, they wore net patronized as well as at the opening of the season.| ride.though few in numbers, wer> well repaid.The ride was to Dixi», thence up the lake by canoe to the Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club house at Dorval, where Duz- zan's three-raters, which nave become famous the world over, were insp2ctel.The return was made in the ovening.The club is thankful to the asso

and Mr.iw.Christie, third.The date was Sept.17, and the time for the race 2.At the beginning of the season a pho*o- graph competition was talked of.and to start it our president offered a prize for the ember obtaining the best six pictures on club rides.The club was to give a second prize, should there be six or more entries made, Considerable interest was armiced, but tbe competition did not come off, owing to there being insufficient entries.Enwever.throughout the season, the best photo taken on each ride was placed on the totive board until the following ride.The club uniform was somewhat changed this year, viz.: The weight of the coat w reduced by having pateh pockets, and lining; and regulation bicycle pants in place of the ordinary knce pants, as heretofore.\u2018These new suits were furnished by Mr.Wm.Currie.who gave very good sa'isfaction and a reduced price.A supply of club caps was also kept on hand by Messrs.Munro Droth- ers.In conclusion, 1 sincerely hope that
