Mr.Art.Harries, chief consul for this district, spoke a few words regarding the rules and regulations proposed to be imposed on the cyclists in Montreal |y the city surveyor.The rule prpbibiting wheelmen to ride on the \u2018devil's track was a good ome, if too many restrictions were not put on it, and so was that i¢ garding en the right and wrong side of the street, but this must apply to ve hicles as well as wheelmen, otherwise the cvclists of Montreal would fight it to the bitter end.The president of the C.W.A.en dorsed these remarks very forcibly and contended thst the regulation referring to riders crossing the streets at intersec tions only was all rot.Mr.Harries also mentioned the fact that Mr.Laberge.chairman of rights snd privileges, and himself were to nce Mr.St.George, the city surveyor, to-day rezarding the matter.The meeting closed with the usm! vote of thanks after several other speakers had been on their feet.had Whestisdirs iht IN MEMORIAM.There will be a special service in memory of the late Mr.A.C.Clark, at St.Giles Church, next Sunday evening.Mr.Clark was one of the founders of the church, and ever since its institution spared neither time nor expense in furthering its interests.He was for many Years chairman of the board of trustees, and his efforts in that capacity have largely contributed to the present rosperous conditien of.tbe tion.The memorial sermon will be preached by the Rev.J.R.Dobson, the pastor of the church, - 3 DECL jLitft ERE LB.TER LT] \u20ac æ glfé a = I épis ppear il as ct of s feet wher- vign Javid- ,\u201d he anada socia- id in c the ).W.;

the water is supplied from a spring capable of supplying from twenty to thirty gallons per minute.In each room and hall, and on the verandas are elevated spittoons, as shown in the a companying illustration.aL ELEVATED SPITTOON.The spittoon is supported by a metal ring attached, to the door of the ecup- board.The patient desiring to use it, opens the little door and closes it when through.An automatically closing extra cover makes it imposgible for flies or other insects to remain in the interior.The spittoons are made of blue enamelled iron and contain disinfectants.In addi tion to the above, each patient is supplied with a pocket spittoon, made of aluminum, and weighing but two-ounces.It is four \u2018inches long and one and three- quarter inches in diameter, so that it can be conveniently carried in the pocket, and hidden by the pocket-handker- chief when in wee.It is easily cleaned.In addition to the front verandah, there are two glass-inclosed verendahs, each provided with huge fire places, to add to the comfort of the patients in cold weather.Numerous sun boxes and seats are placed at convenient distances from the house, so that patients may rest and take sun baths during their walks, Dr.Melli is the resident: physician.He is a native of Florence, Italy, and has spent fifteen years in the study of tuber- eulosis.In addition to the matron, there are six trained nurses in attendance upon patients needing their aesistahce.After thoroughly examining the eana- torium and the surrounding country, the |.guests were entertainéd to luncheon in the spacious dining-room of the sanatorium, and the marvellous rapidity with which the viands disappeared was evidence of the appetizing air of the Laur- entians After luncheon speeches were delivered by Mayor Prefontaine, the Hon.Mr.Nantel, Dr.Wesley Mills, and Dean Cemnbel!, Dr.Robert Wilson, in closing, read the following resolution, which rpeaks for itself.\u2018CANADIAN ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS LEAGUE.\" the undersigned, recognizing the We, of tu- widespread and increasing existence berculosis in our midst, believing in its communicability, realizing thé serious menace to public health which the want of ap-|, plication of this fact among the public entails, and helieving that in the present stage of cur knowledge, prevention is of infinite more Importance and efficacy than cure;

Galician immigrants were at the Windsor street etation this morning, wbere they have been a couple of days.They were without money and the off- cials were a little puzzled to know what to do with them.It was learned that these poor people came to town a few.days ago with another party, some of whom have gone on to Winnipeg.Mr.Hoolahen, the immigration agent, was informed of the condition of these people and he immediately wired to their friends in the west.The promise has been received that money is being rained for these stranded folk, It was stated by the C.P.R.agent that the quarters occupied by these people would be needed for other incotming im- wigrants by Monday.Meantime the C.P.R.has consented to give the s{rangers shelter until money comes.tr SOLDIERS PASSING THROUGE.There

SOME HESITATION, HOWEVER.: This being July 14, the anmiversary of the taking of the Bastile, some members of the French colony applied at the City Hall this morning to have the flag hoisted on the tower in honor of the holiday.i The gentlemen: were referred to Mr.Bauset, the assistant city clerk, who declined to issue the order for the hoisting of the flag, a department of municipal work which is under his special charge.Mr.Bauset recalled the \u2018fact that some years ago it was decided and ordered that the flag should be hoisted on six national anniversaries, the Queen\u2019s Day, and St.time the ground was taken that St.Jean Baptiste Day is the national fete day of the French-speaking people in Canada, and that July 14 is rather a party than a national holiday in nce.He promised, however, to refer the matter to the Mayor.When His Worship arrived at his office about noon, the request was referred to him, and he ordered the flag to be hoisted, as he had some time ago given a promise to do so to somhe-memberw of the French colony.FAMOUS GRAY MARE, THE INVESTIGATION COST NEARLY A HUNDRED AND TWEN~ TY DOLLARS The incident of the scavenging department\u2019s gray mare, which

DIFFICULTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE CHATEAU DE RAMEZAY DRAIN.- \u2014 There has just been settled a rather awkward conflict between the city\u2019 Finance and Health Departments on: one side and the Road Department on.the other: The old sewer of the Chafeau de Ramezay has completely given out, and as a result the neighboring properties as far away as St.Paul street, have been suffering from a dangerous \u2018nuisance.The property bel \u201cto the city and the neighbors protested, byt with no result.The Health Department being called upon, notified the city tréa- surer and he asked Mr.St.George, the city surveyor, to have a new drain put in.So Mr.St.George replied that under his instructions he could not undertake the work until the rule of council requiring a security deposit of seventy-five dollars had been complied with.Then the city treasurer appealed to the Health Department, who' issued orders on the Road Department to do the work, which is now in progress.THE SYDNEY

EXPLANATION GIVEN BY THE CITY COLLECTOR.The fact that the customs receipts of this port have fallen off over fifty-three thousand dollars for the first week of July, in comparison with the same period last year, is notable.The reason, as explained by Mr.R.S.White, the collector, is interesting as well as nota- During July, 1988, the reciprocal treaty between Cnnads and the leading European nations was in force, under the favored nations clause, and there was 3 consequent reduction of one-quarter percent in duties \u2018in Canada.\u2018Phe 10sult 8S, \u2018Numidian.\u2019 abnormal ; thew were,

importa- \u2018tions were stored snd taken out ex- warehouse in the first week of July in order to take advantage of the quarter pereenk reduction.Mr.White antiei- pated a falling off for this month as against.July, 1898, of fully six hundred thousand dollars.It looked large, but by the great law of averages he was sure that the normal receipts would be away ahead of any July for the past ten years.\" Bpeaking of the probable increases in the salaries of employees, the collector said the supply bill was not through the House, but the hon.minister had led him to believe that some advances would Le made.until September, which he considered quite as soon as could be expected.CIGARS SEIZED, A LARGE NUMBER TAKEN FROM A STEAMER.} \u201cThere are fourteen hundred imported cigars lying in the confiscation room of the customs house.They were seized ii an unusual manner, inasmuch as there is no charge made against the captain of one of the Johnston liners, from which they were taken.The cigars were a part of a three-thousand lot, entered on the ship\u2019s stores, but Mr.H.Me- Laughlin, the tide surveyor, inspected the boat in question.He found a large number of the cigars used and the cap- tein said he had given away a number.On reckoning up, fourteen hundred cigars were found to be missing.That, hewever, would have been nobody\u2019s bus- nese had they not been found in the company's sheds ready for delivery.They were at once confiscated.One thousand cigers were found on the steamer and six hundred had been disposed of in some way.The steamer has sailed and no charge was made, ree SHOT BY INDIANS, UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT AT A WILD WEST SHOW, Rochester, N.Y., July 14\u2014During a performance at Summerville, at Lake On- |\u2019 tario, last night, the Tuscarora Indians who

IN THE SUGAR BAG WASHING CASE.Mr.Recorder Weir this morning rendercd Judgment in the case of the city vs Alexander Atlan, on tne caarge uv.rn.nuisance at 31, 33 and 35 St.Jean Baptiste street, reported on another page.He reviewed the legal points at issue and decided that the city had the right and power to pass u by-law ts regulate nuisances.The definition of a nuisance, according to the.statut.s.included considerations both of the health and comtort or tne pupuc.Legisia- tion against any particular specified business might be objected to as discriminatory.Such laws must be general in their nature and impurtiai in ther operation.The dis- rosal of the previous case could have no effect upon the present action.As to the facts, it was admitted by the defence that certain odors existed.\u2018The Sisters of the Congregation had complained that these were disagreeable to them as had other ger- scons doing business in that locality.The evidence on the point of health he did not cunslder conclusive, but there was strong proof regarding the discomfort of the ccm.plainants.The court considered that the employees who were used to the odors and naturally prejudiced in favor of the business were not the best judges as to the disagreeableness of the odors.\u2018The Sisters were entitled to scmb consideration having been established there since\u2019 1657.There Were many changed ccrditions In modern life so that loeality and circumstance had to be taken into consideration in deciding such matters.After careful consideration His Honor eoncinded that the by-law bad been violated and: he imposed a penalty of $20 or one month upon tbs defendant.The ex2:1ilon of t>e sentence was he.w- ever sus ended until!

any Witnesses were called Mr.Faulkner, acting for the defence, read a statement published recently, declaring the plea of innocence on the part of Mr.Allan and giving reasons for the dismissal of the case.1t was doclded to go on with the case.The first witness called was Mr.A.Catel- lier, of the Health Department.He bad visited the place on June 19 and on two previous occasions.He noticed a strong, sour disagreeable odor.He could not say whether it was injurious to health or not.Sergeant LDesrochers, another health officer.corroborated the previous witness.The defence thought it ought to know who the actual complainant in the case was, but the prosecution objected to glving this information.The Recorder ruled that in this case there couid be no reason for secrecy, and that the complainant should be named.It was an- rwered that the Sisters of the Congregation were the chief complainants.Jeremiah Quinn, health officer, gave similar evidence.to previous witnesses, as ul- so did George Proulx.J Mr.George Moore, an employee of Evans Brothers, next to Allan's, sald that when the wind blew strongly in their direction, he noticed a smell like burnt sugar.It was not unbearable, and he mever complained of it.It might be disagreeable to some people; some days it was not noticeable at all: on other days it was quite strong.Chas.Bayle, also of Evans % Sons, knew there was a smell, but\u2019 did not know personally where it came from.It was not constant.He had got:used to it, and did not notice it.It was not at all offensive to him, and he did not complain of it.Dr.Laberge tried to describe the odor.It was very offensive, and could be noticed ot a considerable distance from the drying .In that way it wos a nui- stnce.He was not prepared to say it was dangerous to thie general health, but the fermentation of the saccharine = resuiting\u201d - EE dwelling or place of business.He knew nothing about any similar institutions.The Hon.Dr, Guetfn' visited the punneiy jast evening.There were fifty sick sisters in the establishment and altogether about two hundred sisters residing there.\u2018° The odor of the gas was very noticèable and obnoxious.There was also the odor of chemicals from Evans's place, but that was not so offensive.The odor from the bags tended to inter- tere with the appetite and digestion, and was also bad for those who were suffering from tuberculosis, as the windows had to be closed, 2nd they were deprived of the fresh air.The air which was vitiated from outside in the not weather was very objectionable, and must be injurious.Not knowing exactly the composition of the gases arising from this source, he could not say that they were poisonous.Dr.Aubry, physician of the Congregation, believed the air impregnated with the fumes from the bag drying establishment, was bad for people living in that vicinity, and worse for the sick people in the nunnery.Court adjourned at this stage for lunch- Cn.At two o'clock the court reassembled Messrs.Alphonse Decary, 8.Roby,O.Beau- chemin and Louis P.Lebel, were heard, as also Sister Agnes de Jesus and Sister Saint Anaclet, who ali testified to the Gisagres- ableness of the odors emanating from the bag washing establishment.This completed the evidence for the pro- zecution.Mr.Allan was called to the witness hox on bis own behalf nnd explained the nature and partially the process of his business.Nothing unwholesome was allowed to remain \u2018about the premises.No unnscessary odors were created.No unhealthy effects were known amongst his employees and the process was similar to that carried on at all refineries and sugar bag washing establish- merts.Dr.G.T.Girdwood did not consider the odor injurious to health.Many other places more onable.All - 1m the city were saeh- places shoud be kept clean.He would: A pointed to: \u2018shode to five next th}; nor in the city ud and sqcure sscomuodation: ut ail for \u201cit.stinkn trom ems end te the{ 108 the

premises; the odors of the place.were not objectionable to him.Himself and others employed in the business were quite\u2019 healthy.George Woollam was employed in a butter and cheese business near Allan\u2019s.Doors 2nd windows were open and goods exposed to outside fnfluentes.Butter could not be stored near decayed matter or unheaithy fumes without becoming tainted.They had never had cause to complain of bad odors or tainted goods- caused by Mr.Allan's place.Mr.Allan's business was going on two or three months before he knew the premises were occupied.Mr, J.D.Miller was a neighbor of Mr.Allen; no offensive odor had been noticed nor heard et by him.John Laing sald bags used to be cleaned by the same process at the refinery.There was always & certain odor connected with the sngar business, but it was hot offensive to him.He had never been sick 1 and considered his occupation one of tho bealthiest -going.Dr.W.G.Riley had visited Mr.Allan\u2019s and that vicinity frequently.The odor of sugar or the jute from which the bags were mrde was not so offengeve as that which rame from certain saloons in that neighborhood,or even sometimes from the cheml- ral factory near by.The odors varied in kind and strength around thoss parts.The air there was far trom pure, but tie thought the impurities were mot dangerous.It was not so bad as sour beer and refuge allowed to stand in lanes and yardy close by.Inhn Harper never had to close doors nor windows on account of tbe: ode.- Thete %23 ne oflor perceptible to-day.Some days u ubstantes thé\u2019t exe wohl 8: there was, but It

out of the way and did not consider the place à nuisance.- : Thos.Dreyer, Who Whrks for Mr, Allan, had been employed In a simnas Sasiness in London, Kngiand.The process was the same.He had never known any complaint there.His health was good and he had never known any one's health impaired by it.Employees 1ald off were always glad to get back.Annie Caulford had worked for Mr.Allan two seasons.She was mever sick and had never known any one else te go away sick or suftering from the effect of the business.Three other female employees were present prepared to corroborate the evidence of the laut witness, His Honor considered the heaithy appearance ofall of them, particularly the last witness, sufficient to excuse the others.Another doctor for the de- fonce was detained on account of professional duties.: Mr.A.Blenvenue, deputy clerk of the court, on bebalf of the city, contended that, although many legal objections had been made in this case, all that the court had to do wai to deal with facts.\u201cIt was proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that a nuisance had, been committed.This nuisance was shown to be only indirechy against the public health, but it was not necessary that It should bo against the public heelth to come under the clvic by-law, which said that no cne shall commit x nuisance whatever, The Criminal Code of Canada defined a nuisance to be one which was simply un- comfortabla to the public snd one which interefered with the lawful enjoyment of life by subjects of Her Majesty.A rivic by-law had been framed from the powers granted to the city by the city charter, and that by-law, as it stands, should be ob- werved.It was contended by the defénce that the City Council had no power to pass such a by-law, because it might Rave for its effect to close down defendant's business and restrict trade generally.This, the deputy clerk of the court claimed, the Recorder had nothing to do with.lt might be ae ee\u201d srt was concerned, it further than to take the and prongunce On the case according to the evidence.\u2018 Mr.G.Lamothe, Q.C., argued the legal pcints of the case on behalf of the Sisters and Mr.A.Falconer addressed the court the defendant.The Recorder on behalf of antcunced that he would render his deci jon this morning.* Mr.C.A.Duclos was associated with Mr.Falconer in the case.Pr LABOR MEN MEET, not: BUSINESS TRANSACTED BY

and fired with charcoal, this tiny engine can drag its train over a quarter-mile of rails at the rate of six- miles an hour.But this is merely a toy, Probably the smallest practical railway in England, or in the world, is at the Duke of Westminster's country seat, Eaton Hall, Cheshire, The line is three miles in length, and runs from the house to the highway, and over it passes market produce, timber, bricks\u2014everything of a bulky nature that goes from or comes to à great estate.: Yet this road, though capable of transporting both passengers and produce, is only a \u2018baby,\u2019 road.The engine is so small that the engineer, standing erect beside it, can easily look down the smoke-stack, while it is no particular feat of agility to jump over the train.The rolling stock consists of ten cars and a passanger-car \u2014 a four wheel coach twenty feet in length, upholstered.in the richest manner, and accommodating sixteen passengers.The road is fifteen inches in width, and the train is capable speed, for such a small ty-one miles an hour.It cost the Duke sixty-five hundred dollars a mile ta build, his, road.The engine.cost two thousand dollars.Practical engineers, who have gone to Eaton Hall\" at the invitation of the duke, have railway, of twen- finest in the world.The careful duke has had the exact cost of carriage figured out, and estimates that at the rate of eight trips a day, which is about the average work the lotomotive is called upon to do, he can transport a ton of goods at a cost of twenty-five cents a mile.Although the railway has been running ; for some time it has not lost its place as a \u2018first-class curiosity,\u201d The fame of it even penetrated to the interior of the re ADVERTISEMENTS.A 2-lb.package only costs a few cents\u2014 why not try the new brand of Rolled Oats called \u201cNor\u2019-West.\u201d 8 of reeling off the miles at the astonishing 5 declared the road and its equipment the = KILDON.mae abode of royalty.And forthwith the Prince and Princess of Wales made a trip to Cheshire in order to take a ride around the grounds of Eton Hall in the comfortable little car -of the duke's toy train.\u2014\u201cYouth\u2019s Companion.\u2019 ADVERTISEMENTS.DO NOT TAKE OTHERS, \u2018Beaver Brand\u2019 MACKINTOSH -_\u2014 If your storekeeper don\u2019t have it, got it direct from us.THE BEAVER RUBBER CLOTHING CO, 1490 Notre Dame Street.DISAPPEARED | Kidney Pains All Gone.What Did It?Doan\u2019s Kidney Pills.How Do You Know?A Kingston Man Says So.N I~ Mr.W.).Pappa, 112 Barrie St, Kingston, Ont., writes as follows: * Having been troubled with kidney disease for years, and not having received any per: manent relief until I used Doan's Kidney Pills, I take great pléasure in letting others similarly.afflicted know of the wonderful curative properties possessed.by Doan's Pills.Before taking them I was.troubled at night by havin ta rise, | but: can now sleep, and do not feel weary\u2019 in the morning.1 hope that this: may induce other sufferers, from kidney or urinary troubles to give Doan's Kidney Pills a faithful trial, for 1 know that no other remedy could have acted so well as they did in my case.\u201d .* .111 the only sure cure o0°% ackiche Brights Disense.Diabetes a Bropsy.and ah oy sad Urinary troubles.ce soc., all druggists.e a ney Pill 5 Jrorento, ¢ t.Ask for Doan\u2019s and refuse all others.sida.\u2014 Bakers and Confectioners.8 AULD PLAIN AND FANCY BREAD BALERAND CONFECTIONER.Whole Whent Health Bread, s specialty.Once tried, always used.Uonfectionery.and à large varisty of cakes.Wedding caites ant:1ce cream a specialty;

God, what shall I'do ?hat power is there strong enough to save a man trom this horrible guif of sin and suffering?Is there no help ?He sank down in the chair he had before occupied, and buried his agonized face in his hands.\u2018They don\u2019t know, they don\u2019t understand, when they come to me, one by one, all these good, righteous people, and say, \u201cSign the pledge ; don\u2019t touch the drink.Give up this thing that is ruio- ing your life.Why not?Be a man, \u2018* j her throat.\u2018Oh, Mr.Gerald, don\u2019t be angry : but I couldn\u2019t pele, writing it.Everything was so \u2018Has any one told.you about me ¥ He .with a flush on his brow, but « manfuily.Popsey trembled.\u201cNo one knew about the letter, and 1 haven't told anybody since,\u2019 she said, in & little faint, evasive voice.\u2018Popsey, people don\u2019t understand what this thing is that has me in ite cruel power.They shake their heads, and say I am a madman to throw away my life and my position as-l\u2019m doing, and in & way they may be right.Bat not in the way they think.It is as if some one strong\u2014strong\u2014stronger than I, had hold of me ; and if I try to free myself this secret enemy laughs in my ear, and grasps me tighter.It is horrible, Pop- sey, horrible.And the fight goes on from hour to hour, from day to day, and from week to week.How do I know that there is any possibility of escape ?That there is any hope that it will be right at last ?\u201d He was holding her band still in that fame desperate, passionate way, and she, dlinging to him with ehoking sobs in He made her sit down, snd stood with folded arms before her.Pop- sey put out ome little hand again, and touched him pitifully.\u2018What are you going to do, Mr, Gerald?Oh, what can you do ?\u2018Popeey, do you believe God can help 2 man in extremity ¥ \u2018I know he can ; I am sure It was strange how he felt to depend on the words of this child.He knelt on one knee beside her.\u2018Suppose I were to sign the pledge, would he belp me to keep it true ?Bruce never breaks his word, and if there is no chance for me I can\u2019t, I daren\u2019t, sign.\u2019 ; A ; \u2018Oh, he would, he must !\u2019 Popsey cried, clasping her hands to enforce her words.He bowed his head for a moment.Was it possible that he prayed ?Then he looked up with a set, determined expres sion on his face, .\u2018Popsey, will you kiss me once ¥ She lifted her sweet lips, and the crimson suddenly leaped t6 ler brow, and cheeks.But she did not hemiate or falter.Mrs.Clifton, passing through the gate that led from the garden to the cherry orchard, stopped a brief moment, so great was her surprise to see Gerald Bruce talking to Popsey in the old familiar way.The next instant she had advanced with outstretched hand.\u2018I am glad to see you, Gerald,\u2019 she said, a and make up your mind, and stand by it.\u201d They speak of it as if it were only throwing aside a pair of gloves that don\u2019t fit, or putting on a ol ihe - Ha a Aa Bas old slot comprebond ite dresd Yang 5 I see it, I gauge it, more, igy more, truly and vividly than they can.If « man is standing on the brink of a precipice, and feels an insane desire to dash himiglf to death in the chasm beneath, it is nef be- cayse-he does not realize and vnderstand the-horror of it all.It is because I know that I yield.\u201d \u2019 He stood up again, and drawing the letter once more from his inner pocket, reread it, with quivering lips.\u2018So, the child was proud for me to do the same as she did.What if she should ever do aw I am doing now ?God forbid !' Horrible !\u2019 a The next afternoon was sultry and breathless.The sun hung like a ball of fire in the heavens.Popsey was curled up on the seat under the hollyhocks, and Mrs.Cl#¥ton and Helen were again working in the cool of the cherry orchard.Presently the garden gate was slowly opened, and then fell to again with a little clicking sound.l\u2019opsey looked up languidiy.She wondered in a lazy way what visitor was approaching.The same moment she had sprung from the old seat, and wus standing upright, with the color in her cheeks, rivalling the rose-pink of the great blossoms.\u2018Ohj\"Mr.Gerald !?He caught her two little hands with a Passionate yearning, as if to hold them were a safeguard.) \u2018You sent me a letter, Popsey, such a letter!

I shouldn\u2019t be surprised if He did send Potiphar back.No, 1 shouldn't be surprised a bit\u2014not a bit.He is always doing such things.\u2019 Then Bertie had a long talk with the Bishop about the

we had a good time, though ?: \u201cWe have, Bertie,\u2019 said the Bishop, and he really meant it.Then he kissed Bertie before he went, and he meant that, too.I don\u2019t know much about Bishops, but from what I have seen of them, I believe Bertie was the first boy thet was ever kissed by one.So Bertie went upstairs, and the Bishop went back to his notes, but a great change had taken place in both of them.Bertie had somehow got rid of the soreness in his throat, and the Bishop was sad and gloomy no longer.He knew, now, that God had neither forgotten him nor his mission.Everybody in the town remembers how the Bishop spoke that evening.There was a new earnestness and a new, fire in his words, a new power in bis voice.Before the end he told them a strange story of one little boy who had given to God what was dearest in the world to him, so that he might help the mission.There was a mist in many eyes before the story was ended, and Mr.Dibbs, who was there, looked very wise indeed.As for the people, they glanced at one another, and did their best to follow the boy\u2019s example, so that before the service was ended the Bishop knew that his mission bad been blessed indeed.\u2018 Arter the service Mr.Dibbs and the Bishop and Mr.Carr somehow got together.Then they all went out, first to Mr.Dibbs's house, and afterwards to a big shop in the town.Long before this, though, Bertie was fast asleep in bed.- In the morziing, the first thing he saw was Potiphar, lying in his little basket just the same as usual.But around Potiphar\u2019s_neck was a beautiful silver collar, which had not been there before.\u2018Just think,\u2019 said Bertie at breakfast, \u2018I gave Potiphar to God and God has sent bim back again with a silver collar on.\u2018 There\u2019s one

dwelling;house.The other a king\u2019s palace.The Jewish temple was built after a divine pattern.The whole building was holy, but there was.afi\u2019 inger apartment which may be thought of as God's private room, where he specially dwelt.The.temple was noted for its magnificence, its glory, ite sacredness, (I.Kings, chapters vi,, and, vii.).Ÿ \u2018There the worshipper beheld the beautÿ \u2018of.the Lord, meditated on his lovingifiminess; and.was satisfied \u2018with his gti 8, (Psa.xxvii., 4: xbyiiis; 9: Ixv.; ¥%.° No access but through sacrifice.The sprinkled blood upon the mercy- seat, the place of propitiation, has a world of meaning which only Spirit taught souls can begin to understand.2.The Temple of His Body\u2014Solomon\u2019s Temple was a type of the-Church as the body of Christ, and the house of God, (Eph.i., 22, 23: Col.i., 18).We are members of his body, (Eph.v., 30: Rom.xii., 4,5: I.Cor.x, 17: Col.iii, 15).We must be members of his body in union with him before we can be.members of bis Church.Thid is\"not.+ Hogan or ganization, but a spiritust\u2019 house, or body, (1.Cor.wi, 17: chapter 12: \"Eph.iv, 4: L Pet.ii, 5).Its Lord, (Psa.xi, 4: Matt.xii., 8), its.builder, (Zech vi, 12: Heb.iii., 3, 4), ita priest, (Heb.x., 21), and its king, or ruler, is Christ, (I.Chron.ix., 1: Heb.ii, 6).All spiritual gifts are for the building up of the temple of God, (Epb.iv., 12, 16: ii., 21), The words \u2018church,\u2019 and \u2018house of God,\u2019 in the New Testament, never mean a building, but always an assembly.Holiness, or separation from the world \u2018is the law of the Bouse,\u201d (Eze.xliii., 12: xlii., 15 to 29).People talk of a line of demarcation between the Church and the world\u2014God\u2019s lina js more than half a mile in- breadth, (Josh.iii, 4: Exodus xix., 2: I.Cor.vi, 17).= ~ \u201c 8.The Believers Body\u2014Your body is a temple of the Holy Spifit which is in you, (1.Cor vi, 19).\u2018Fhe Christian\u2019s body is the most racred thing in the world: \u2018If any man destroy, (mar, defile, make common), this sanctuary of God, \u2018Him: shall God destroy,\u201d (I.Cor.iii, 16, 17).a It is one thing for a mea to fill his

had been fully occupied to this moment.IN AID OF THE EMPIRE.Lieut.-Col.Sam Hughes thought that Canada would do well to follow the ex ample of Queensland in tendering the offer of a regiment for service in the \u2018Transvaal in defence of Great Britain's case of trouble with the Boers.Thous ands of Canadians would willingly volunteer for the service either in the Transes Ly The Prime Minister hoped there would be no necessity for Queensland or any other part of the Empire to send troops far active service in South Africa.His hope was.that the diffeulty would be adjusted without the sword being un- too much to expect that the Boers would come to a recognition of the desirability of equal justice being meted out to all and if this were done there would be no occasion for sending troops into the fleld.Sir Charles Tupper thought that it was quite apparent that British public opinion backed the stand which the government had assumed.The knowledge would share the burden with the Home Government would contribute to a settlement of the difficulty.LETTER CARRIERS SALARIES.In committee of supply the civil government estimates for the Post-office Department were first taken up.Lieut.Col.Prior brought up the question of the salaries paid to letter carriers throughout the Dominion, which he considered far too mmall.\u2018receive but thirty dollars a month on grant their annual increases.The Postmaster-General did not think his own part that this or striking off of increases was shameful ai a time when the revenues of Canada have reached a tide of unequalled buoyancy.If the people knew \u2018that their reduction in the postal rate from three The Postmaster-General promised that in the estimates for the current year provision was made for an iricrease\u2019 in the salaries of all whose salaries did not reach six hundred dollars.Mr.Wallace thought this clearly constituted an acknowledgment of a mie- taken policy in the last few years.MONTREAL POSTM HTP.In reply to a question by Mr.Ber- geron as to when the vacant postmaster ship at Montreal is to be filed the Poat master-General stated that he had found the Montreal post-office maneged on somewhat ancient lines.He had there fore deemed it advieable before making the appointment to inaugurate an up-to- date system so that the new eppointee may be given a fair chance at the start ies of his départment, Mesgés.Aftn) strong and Bennett, both experienced men, had been charged with the reorganization end \u2018already have things on a much more satisfactory basis.The Montreal office was a very important post and he expected to have matters so regulated that an appointment may be made during the sudnmer.Mr.made enquiry as to the trouble which occurred some time ago through the Montreal mail carriers los ing their right to travel on the electric care.The Postmaster-General replied that this had been occasioned through a difficulty as.to the contract price.The figure allowed the Street Railway Com- reny had been $2,400 a year, but they bed demanded a payment of $800 a month.The department could not sanec- tion such an outlay and an arrangement bad been framed by which special tick- ota secured at a low rate were issued to the carriers.By this means the service was had at a slight saving on the old contract figure.RAILWAY MAIL CONTRACTS.Mr.Clarke Wallace raised the question of the remumeration allowed to railway companies in Canada for the carriage of mails, which amounts to $1,- 352,000.A year ago the Postmaster- General had taken & vote for a commission to investigte the existing ar- sheathed.He _did not think it was\u2018 These officers | \"| posed, and shonght they mora j ment\u2019 would \u2018this & was perfectly well known and rungements, but the money was never THE MONTREAL used.To his mind the railway companies were very much overpaid.The Postmaster-General replied that the Grand.Trunk, Canadian Pacific, Michigan Central and other Canadian lines considered themselves very much underpaid.Comparison with the prices paid in the United States ahowed very much to our advantage.The system which he now followed was one which had been sanctioned by long usage.It was true that he had taken a vote for a commission of enquiry into this matter, but had refrained from putting that plan into effect on the suggestion of a former occupant of the post he now filled.In reply to a question by Mr.Powell (Westmoreland) the Postmaster-General stated that the lowest rate was two cents a mile.By order-in-council the rate had been fixed at four cents for baggage and eight cents for postal car service and these had been the rates for years.In the I.C.R., G.T.R.end C.P.R.this amounted to about $130 per annum per train mile.7 The estimates \u2018or the Post-office Department were all disposed of, after which the committee.resumed the con- iédétietion \u2018of \u201cthes for the Department of Railways and Canals.- - DU PEUPLE.BILL AMENDED AND ADOPTED IN THE SENATE\u2014LAW OF USURY.; The Senate yesterday dealt with-Sena- tor Dandurand\u2019s Usury bill, which gave rise to a protracted discussion, and

rata, and for tie purpose of :administering such'assets the Hon.A.Desjardins, of Montreal, should be named and remunerated for his services at such an amount as might be agreed upon by the present directors and trustees of the bank.; The amendment proposed by Senator McMillan was then adopted, with a-few verbal amendments, and the bill was read a third time and passed.- - The bill respecting the Niagara, Bt.Catherines and Toronto Railway Company was next read a third time and assod.D ; es The Secretary of Stete moved.the third \u2018reading of the bill to-amend the Dominion Lands act.\u201cSenator Lougheed proposed ant amendment making it necessary for the claimant to have been in undisturbed possession of the land since January last.This was agreed to, and the bill as reamended was read a third time and passed.- THE USURY BILL.The House then went into committee on the Usury bill, taking up an omend- ment to the first clause proposed by senator Dandurand, and- which provided that no person shall stipulate fof, allow or exact on-any negotiable document, or diicount greater than twenty percent per annum, and the said rate of interest shall be reduced to the rate of ten percent per ganum from the date of the issue of process in any suit, action or other proceeding for the recovery of the amounts due.Spesking in support of his amendment Senator \u201cDetidurand said the British House of Lords in its: bill allowed fifteen percent on sume over\u2019 pounds.- The Hon.David Mills suggested, reducing the amount to which the bill would be aplicable to $500.Senator Dandurand agreed to accent ion as the sums mostly borrowed young men were what he wanted to protect, and they ranged from $100 to 2150.Senator Wood pressed that the bill be allowed to stand over for anot year in order to \u2018allow the House time to] fully consider the whole question.Senator Power did not think that by the paseage of this bill an injustice would be done to anyone.The promoter of the bill did not claim that it wae a perfect measure.It was an effort in the right divection, and he thought the bill should be passed in a form that would not inflict an injustice and allow it to meet its fate in the House of Commons.Senator Dandurand said that while It might be fairly contended that twenty .was in Senator Dandurand\u2019s hands.- It | rae i 4 vi House céuid mike.the eR te DAILY WITNESS.short loans, yet a short loan might become a long loan.The bill was intended to protect hundreds of young men who were at the bottom of the ladder and who fell into the hands of sharks.The bill defined what was a money-lender, and the man he wanted to reach wonld not register as a money-lender but would \u2018use five or six names and when wanted would say that he was not a habitual money-lender.Senator Almon said if this bill was aimed at the usurer it was very much in favor of the small Jawyer.Senstor Lougheed thought there was no difference of opinion regarding the desirability of meeting the abuse aimed at, but the difficulty wae, Senator Dan- durand had introduced a special measure.He thought it would have been better to have adopted the English act and to have introduced an interpretation clause which would have covered everything wanted.He was quite prepared to support a measure which Was aimed at usury, but he hesitated in\u2019 supporting a bill affecting general commercial transactions.He advised that the government should introduce a measure dealing with the question, and thought that_if Senator Dasdurand had given \u201cAs \u2018much effort to secuYe dn jmwolvency law he would have done more for Montreal : : Senator Dandurand said he knew hun dmeds of éaees in Montreal where judgments were hanging over the heads of young men at from sixty to four hundred percent interest claims.Senator McMillan thought that money should be left to find its own value.If this bill passed, twenty percent would be charged, on many loans now secured for a lesser rate.Senator Dandurand disagreed from this statement.Loans of from $500 to $20, 000 could be had to-day in Montreal nt five percent on mortgage.Senator McMillan said that supposing he wanted $100 for ten days, and agreed to pay two dollars for it.That looked like a small sum, but it was eeventy- \u2018three and a half percent, and the lender of the money would be Kable, if this bill passed, to a fine \u2018of $500 and Imprison- \u2018ment.Le \u201cSenator Ogilvie advised delay, and Senator O\u2019Donohue sympathized with the principle of the bill; but did not think it was likely to accomplish what it was intended to accomplish.He \u2018would vote against the bill though his sympathies went out for the prey of the usurers.The Hon.David Mills had given some \u2018attention to the matter, though not able to take it up as a government measure.The bill had been placed in the hands of the officers of his department, who were skilled in drafting, and their suggestion very hard to define a money-lender, and \u2018the \u2018scope of the bill waar all - th à to this session : 3 bctly.Señator DeBoucherville said that there was great rejoicing in Montreal among the usurers, when it was reported that the bill had been killed.Senator Baker said he strongly condemned the bill for its ex port facto aspect.oo , - Senator Ferguson said- that the main opposition to this bill came from the Bankers\u2019 Association, and not from the usurers, He strongly urged Senator Dan- durand to accept the inevitable, and agree that the bill, as returned from committee, should be reported and printed for distribution.Senator Dandurand said that unless the bill became a government measure it might as well be disposed of now, The vote was taken on the motion that the committee rise, and was lost by a vote of 17 yeas to 24 nays., Senator McMillan then moved an emendment that six percent remain the rate after maturity and that the rate of interest should apply only to loans made within thirty days.The amendment was declared lost.; Senator Wood moved to change the amended clause \u201cy substituting the words \u2018date of judgment,\u2019 for the words \u2018issue of process.\u2019 : : The Hon.David Mills said that he bad suggested to Senator Dandurand that the operation ofi.the bill should be confined to money-lenders, leaving all the veut) bill as strong as -it \u2018wished a \u2018class it was intended to reach.\" Senator Wood \u2018expressed himself as satisfied with this arrangement, and temporarily withdrew his motion.Senator Dandurand moved then, as clause two of the bill that the expression money-lender should include any person who carries on the business of money- lending, or advertises or announces himself or holds himself out in-any way as lending or making a practice of Jend- ing money at a higher rate of interest than ten percent per annum; but did not include any registered pawnbroker.Senator Power suggested the adding of the words \u2018as such,\u2019 after the word \u2018pawnbroker Senator Dandurand said he had fol lowed the English, act in framing the new clause; but accepted the addition, and the clause, as ampnded, carried.Senator Dendurand then proposed to amend clause three of the.bill by making it read \u2018in any suit, action or other proceeding concerning a loan of money by a money-lender, the principal which was originally under five hundred-dollars, etc.Meantime Senator Dandurand accepted the amendment of Senator Wood confining the reduction of the rate of interest after maturity from the date of judgment.Senator Lougheed moved to insert an from operation of the section.This was accepted by Senator Dandurand, and the clause, as amended, was carried.On the next clause Senator Lougheed doubted whether the bill was intra vires in dealing with the principal of a loan or loans.The Hon.David Mills reminded him that the Privy Council had decided that where any powers of legislation were distinctly given in the British North America Act, the power included the right to deal with incidental matters.his judgment covered the clause in the ill.Senator Lougheed concurred in this view, and suggested that the words \u2018due and exigible\u2019 be altered.Senator Dandurand said he had copied the words from the translation of the Quebec Civil Code.he words were replaced by the words \u2018due and payable; and the clause was adopted.The remaining clauses of the bill were adopted with a few slight verbal amendments, and the committee rose and reported progress.PENITENTIARY BILL.The Senate then went into committee on the bill to amend the Penitentiaries Act.The Hon.Dawid Mills said the cost of the penitentiaries was decreasing.If they could liberate convicts on tickets of leave the cost would be still further reduced.Senator Dandurand wanted to know if the convicts could not be employed making public roads, as they were in the United States?The committee rose and reported the bill and it was read a third time and passed.OTHER GOVERNMENT BILLS.The bill to amend the act respecting the Department of the Interior was passed through committee, read a third time and passed.On the second reading of the bill to amend the customs act Senator Power vigorously opposed the principle of allowing the exportation of deer.It would open the door to the destruction of game.The bill was read a second time and the Senate adjourned at ten o'clock.1 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SPANISH QUEEN REGENT.FripAY, Jory 14, 189y = CHINESE CONCESSION s.Director of Railways Opposed
