As pointed out in the description of the accompanying street plan, this land extends east of the C.P.R.tracks and the Eastern Abattoir, and north of ST Nolan street, which is the first street north of Sherbrooke street.Moe B= RAILWAY.THE GREAT LAND DEAL Where the New Workshops Will be Erected PLANS OF THE CANADIAN PlA- CIFIC RATLWAY, AS SHOWN TO THE PROPERTY HOLDERS.When \u2018the \u201cWitness\u2019 first announced that options were being asked for on some six hundred acres of land, during Christmas week, incredulity was general., Though several of the options «l- ready secured were mentioned, and the names given the proprietors interested, denial was given to the story so far as the \u2018Canadian Pacific Railway was concerned.Some of our contemporaries epent much time in guessing as to the concern that was -coming .to Montreal after it \u201cwas reafzed hav there was: really a land deaf ip \u2018progress.Col- wmns were Written about new locomeo- tive works coming, about machine shops to have gigantic mills on the land, and finally Mr.Callaway, the great railway man, was \u2018located,\u2019 with full details of his intentions, on the property in ques tion.In making the announcement in the first place the \u2018Witness\u2019 drew an analogy between the present deal and that whereby the Canadian Pacific Railway had so quietly secured their right of way around Mount Royal a number of years ago.This might have served as a hint as to who the principals are.It was the C.P.R.that wanted the land.The Montreal Bridge Company in the Hogan property had already secured all they wanted for bridge and terminals near that point.Mr.U.H.Dandurand, the well known real estate owner, who all the time was aware of the delicate nature of lis mission, had the plan of the proposed ar- | rangements in his possession.He would tell nothing as to his prineipals.Now that there is mo further necessity for concealment, every one may se the plan in its rough state.It gives only the barest idea of what the company intends to do in the future; but it shows that \u2018there are to be immense works undertaken.; The expansion of the east end since the Canadian Pacific \u2018Railway erected their workshops there people recall easily.Men of the previous generation remember what Point St.Charles was before :he Grand Trunk Railway expansion.This it is that may be doubled or even trebled by the proposed extensions of the Canadian Pacific Railway on the north side of Nolan street and east of their tracks running toward the Mile End, as shown in the plan.THE ROYAL ALBERT BRIDGE LOCATION OF SITE HAS NOT BEEN CHANGÉD.Speaking to-day as to the consummation of the great bridge project, Mr.Henry Hogan, president of the Montreal Bridge Company, denied that thers lias been any change insthe site proposition.- | It was long ago suggested that the bridge.and its railway connections would com- rrise a station situated somewhere between Ontario and Dorchester streets, as far \u2018west es St Urbain street, Whether the line stould continue thence eastward along Mignone street (near Demontigny street) to Colborne avenue (now -Delorimier ave.) on the level of that street or gradually seek a higher level by Ontario street was never ectiled.It is no nearer settlement to-day.When the line reached Colborne -avenue-by either the high or the -lower level its way was to have been across the .river leaving à pier just west of the Montreal jail, tuch- ing the head of Ile Ronde and contibufng to Longueuil, where it would strike the high ground just west \u2018of the government | land \u2018sold a few days ago to one of.the opponents of the Montreal Bridge Company.\u2019 That purchase, as has already Teen assert- AY i wo 2 \u201cern \u2018boundary \u2018at the city ed will not interfere with the bridge approaches in any way.Just about where the line above alluded to curves into Delorimier avenue, a curve will be made north-eastward toward where the company intends placing its freight terinal sheds, which will give it plenty of room.This is on the Hogan property above Nolan street.A.O.U.W.RATES.Toronto, Feb.12.\u2014The readjustment of rates will be the absorbing topic that will come before the Ancient Order of United Workmen convention for Ontario to be held here next week.This will be the twenty-fourth annual gathering and between five hundred and six hundred delegates are expected to be present.The convention will probably last two daye and- will repreesnt a mem- THE ANNUAL LOAN.\u2014_\u2014 City has the Privilege of Borrowing $238,000 This Year ¢ | THE FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL PROBABLY TAKE STEPS AT ONCE TO FLOAT THE LOAN.During the present year the city ean make an annual loan of $238,000 under section, 344 of the city charter, which provides that the city shall have the power during such time as the consolidated debt of the city exceeds fifteen percent of the taxable real estate of they city, to borrow each year for the pur/ pose of carrying on necessary public sion of the dainage system, the laying of \u2018permanent- (nof wooden) or cement sidewalks and pavements, the comstruc- tion and extension of municipal buildings, such as markets, fire and police stations, city hall and others, opening and widening of streets, street improvements, the acquisition of such lands and buildings as may be necessary for any of these Drposes, a sum of money not exceeding ten percent of the increase in taxable real estate, shown by the assessment roll in force over that of the year immediately preceding; provided always that the total value of such taxable real estate exceeds $140,000,000, and also that the sum total so borrowed does not in any one year exceed $300,000.It is further provided that the money so raised shall not be applied to the ordinary expenditure, means of a sinking fund.bership of over 42,600 persons, with insurance about

Railway shops are spoken of as.likely to be erected is a tract of some 365 acres, most of which is under pasture.The only buildings of consequence upon it at present are the Civic Hospital and some smaller.Before the Canadian Pacific works are half erected upon it there will probably be a small town settled there, or in_the vicinity.As mentioned in the \u2018Witness\u2019 late in December, the intention of the purchasers \u201cof the land was to buy as far down toward the river as Sherbrooke street.This plan was abandoned, and the southward boundary was fixed at Nolan street, the western boundary \u2018at a point near to the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks running.to the Back River, and the ¢ast- imite; marked .(The northern by: Valois avenue : 4 \u2014 PLAN OF STREETS SHOWING TH

city limits.This ine will cross.the Crawford :property a little north .of St.Jerome street, and part of the property just here has to be got from the Montreal Bridge Com- | pany, which is willing \u2018to give the pro-|line runuing along De perty,.and which will place its Treight terminal somewhere in that \u2018vicinity.The land embraced in the above will: include Nolan, Clara and St.Jerome: streets, which rin east-and west, and the northern parts of Bourret, Grenier, Fabre, ery, St.Moreau, Prefontaine, Germain, Darling, Davidson, Cuviltier, \u2018Aylwin, Joliette, Chambly, and Nicolet

there having been an abnormal increase in the civic assessment due to the imposition of the then new tax on machinery.Last year, owing to the reduction of the machinery tax to a minimum, there was such a heavy reduction in the assessment that there was no apparent natural jncrease, and consequently no power to effect an annual loan according to the terms of the charter.But as the council had neglected to avail itself of the privilege to borrow the $300,- 000 the previous year, the amount was borrowed last year, though it was disputed in council that the right to make the loan then existed.It is expected that the Finance Committee will at once take steps to float this year\u2019s annual loan, and the amount will dome in very useful for the proposed new hospitals and fire stations.The Finance Committee will also at once direct attention to the question of floating the $2,000,000 worth of bonds which were placed upon the market unsuccessfully spring.This sum is at resent being carried as a temporary an, and represents matured debéntures.\u201cSo fhe new- loans ill not increase: the périnanent inde dness of the city to any-exfent.ge ay COUNT TOLSTOY HE IS

FROM THE THRONE.Ottawa, Feb.12.\u2014Members and senators are drifting in by to-day\u2019s trains for the opening of pariiament to-morrow, and if the weather is favorable the Senate.chamber will be much too small to accommodate the crowds seeking admission.The newly-appointed Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod has been literally besieged.with applications for seats on the floor of the chamber, and among those present will be many ladies from outside points, .Your correspondent hears that in the speech from the throne the government has no legislation to outline other than\u2019 the estimates for the coming year.It is understood that the speech will refer, among other things, to the visit to Canada of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the: representation of Canada at the coronation, the result of the recent census, the magnificent crops of last year, and \u2018the unparallel- eid \u2018prosperity in | lines of trade in the Dominion.= LORD STRATHCONA \u201c| HIGH COMMISSIONER HAS COM- .PLETELY RECOVERED.\"New York, Feb, 12.\u2014The \u2018Tribune's\u2019 \u201cLondon correspondent says.Lord Strath- cona, who appears to have completely -vecovered his health, presided last night at a meeting of the Colonial Institute, when the Hon.J.\u2018H.Turner, agent- general for British Columbia, read a pa- Per-on that province,\u201d .Both the High \u201cCommissioner and the agent-general spoke of the loyalty of the Canadian people and Lord -Strathcona was loudly cheered for saying that not a single in- ~dtgidual in the whole Dominion could be got to profess himself a pro-Boer.He anticipated that swift communication with Canadd would shortly drin the Pacific coset\u2019 within eight days o \u2018England.Admiral Fremantle and Mr.Gilbert Parker, M.P., referred to the

paper was issued last might giving the terms of a practical alliance between Great Britain and Japan for the preservation of China and Corea.The paper covers a despatch sent by Lord Lansdowne, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, on Jan.30, to the British minister at Tokio, Sir (laude: McDonald, and comprises a signed copy of the agreeement.In explanation the paper says the agree ment may be led as an outcome of the \u2018events of the past two years.Throughoys, tice Boxer - troubles Great Britain awd Japwh\u201d bad been in\u2019 \u2018clos and uninterrupted communication, \u201cand actuatéd by similar views.\u201cWe each desired,\u201d says Lord Lansdowne, \u2018thas the integrity and independence of the Chinese Empire should be preserved and and that there should be no distunoance of the territorial status quo either in Chima or the adjoining regions.\u2019 London, Feb.12.\u2014The Liberal after noon newspapers view the new \u201cdual alliance\u2019 between Great Britain and Japan with mixed feelings.\u2018Lhe Conservative organs generally applaud it, but the \u2018St.James's Gazette, (Conservative) ex: presses \u2018 moditied rapture at this departure from British traditional policy.[Chis paper, however, finds solace in the thought that tue policy and interests of the United States are identical with those of Great Britain and Japan and concludes :\u2014* Perhaps we shall find, when the policy of Great Fritain is detin- itely known, that the United States is formally or- informally a party to the league of peace in the far east.At any, rate, no effort should be spared to secure its adhesion.\u2019 The \u2018Westminster Gazette\u2019 thinks the alliance can fairly termed offensive and defensive, says that it, therefore has a dangerously\u2019 wide extension, and concludes that it looks like.a rather hasty answer to European hostility.New York, Feb.12.\u2014The London correspondent of the \u2018Iribune\u2019 saya the new Anglo-Japanese alliance has created great excitement.\u2018The newspapers published this morning vie with\u2019 one another in expressing astonishment and satisfaction at the action of the guvern- ment.The treaty is undoubtedly à momentous one.It puts an end to Bri tain\u2019s magnificent isolation and is a fine answer to those who fancied that British interests in China were to be neglected.The \u2018Daily \u2018Mail\u2019 says :\u2014 It & mo : use disguising the fact that the document is aimed primarily at Russia.We.- are able to assert on authority which cannot be questioned that the relations.of this country and the government of - the Czar have become regrettably impaired in consequence of Muscovite du- ol plicity with respect to the future of Man = churia.This will be

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1902.The German customs authorities have traced some of the wheat imported from the United States to a Canadian origin, and have taken the stand that all wheat coming from the United States must be duly certified as the produce of that country.~ This is a requirement much easier to impose than to carry out, us it is often impossible to tell where wheat grew.\u2018The attitude of Gerniany has in it the elements of a first-class triple international squall.It may have the moet unfortunate results upon the notion of reciprocity between.the United States and Canada, as illustrating what serious complications might follow such agree- \u2018ments, Indeed, it may poseibly affect bors.Just as when the British embargo on American cattle forced us to exclude American \u2018cattle from.Canada, so this German embarge on Canadian wheat might lead to the exclusion of Canadian | wheat from American channels; not that this is likely, or would be \u2018altogether an-

favored nation basis, while Canada is excluded \u201cand has to \u2018pay ten cents a bushel higher duty on breadstuffs, a difference which is practically exclusive, the reason being that Canada insisted on being allowed to import from her dwn mother country on better terms than from Germany.It is not improbable, however, that this trouble with the Unit: ed States is being fanned by the German agrarian party, including the landowning and the agricultural interests, in the hope of getting a higher duty, oh\u2019 American breadstuffs.effets An astonishing request has been made | by General Samuel Pearson, who claims to be the Boer representative in the United States, to President Roosevelt.He has written for permission to make war on the British agents purchasing.supplies in the United States for the.army in South Africa.He has haunted the White House to lay his scheme and President, and says he has a Boer force armed and organized to carry them into effect.The New York \u201cHerald\u201d corresponuent says he is growing impatient, and.it\u2019 is a matter of interesting speculation as to what will happen Presidént ignore his request or refuse.to grant it.In concluding bis letter to Mr.Roosevelt, General Pearson asks\u2019 if he may consider silence or inaction by the government as equivalent to consent to his carrying on war in the United Btates on behalf of the Boers against the British.All he wants is 2 word, or even a nod, it is said, would be sufficient to turn loose on the British agents an armed force that would sweep them into the sea.General ternational law, and of the prérogatives of the President.has precisely the same standing in the United States as the men on whom too, are foreigners.observe the laws or suffer thé

of the mant- facturers, but it did not prevent other.They were perfectly homest in saying and: obviously against them.The pa- permakers were, in fact; defying the anti-trust clause of the Uuatoms det, cited in this paper, and now for the Amt time put partially into force.They were meeting from time to time\u2014and Mr.Justice Taschereau assures us that practically all of them were in jt\u2014to

ror terms fixed.It seems that some of the concerns had not paid their associa- l'tion fee of five hundred dollars and so were counted out when it was asked whether all were in it, but that did not hinder these being under the same agreement as.thé rest.Indeed, combination to take advantage of a duty is, where possible, alinost a necessary result of having a duty.Those who uphold duties declare often and strongly, that they do not increase the price to consumers, but.those who are protected by duties, as à matter of course, do their best tb secure an oppoéite result.As this \u2018very natural taking advantage of the conditions produced by the duby brings the duty itself into diseredit even protectionists are fain to favor such a clause.\u2018as that uder which the government

With the pasing away of Lord Duf- ferin in his seventy-sixth year, the Empire loses one of its most distinguished song, and Canada one of her most admired and esteemed governors-general, Indeed, affection is perhaps the best word to describe the way in which Lord Dufferin\u2019s memory is cherished in Canada.No other representative of thie sovereign has quite filled the same place in public

INTERNATIONAL OUTBREAK.In spite of the \u2018Behring Sea Tribunal of Arbitration,\u201d one J.W.Ivey, rollec- tor of Alaska, if the special despatch from Unalaska to the Seattle \u2018Post In- telligencer\u201d may be believed, has taken drastic méans to put an end to pelagic sealing .on the part of the Canadian- British.The arbitrators by a large majority declared that \u2018the United States \u2018has no right to the protection of dr \u2018 property in the seals frequenting ihe \u2018islands of the United States in Behring \u2018Sea when the same are found outside \u2018the ordinary three-mile limit\u2019 We remember, too, that penalties were imposed upon the United States for the seizure of fourteen British vessels in the Behring Sea by the \u2018Corwin\u2019 and \u2018Rush,\u2019 and the ordering of three others out of the Behring Sea, and there were some recommendations made for the preservation\" of the seals by a majority of the arbitrators whieh did not commend themselves to the United States commercial interests behind the government.The Pribylof Islands in Behring Sea are a government reserve \u2018which it leases -with the privilege of taking a certain number of male seals yearly.This lease was held by the Alaskan Commercial Company from 1870 to 1890, and «ince 1890.has been held by the North American Commercial Company, which is allowed to take a hundred thousand skins annually.The United States revenues from leasing the islands between 1870 and 1800 amounted to some seven or eight million dollars a year, and it is charged that the lessees or their agents were not always careful of the sex of the slaughtered seals or particular to keep within the preseribed number.Whether or no, it is certain that the United States attack was commercial in its origin and net by any means in the interests of the seals, as some of their special.pleaders before the arbitration.tribunal\u201d pretended.But who is Mr.Ivey that he should decide to refuse the privilege of protection in bad weather to British ships from Canadian ports when they call for either protection or for the prirohase of supplies at the ports of Un- alaska and Dutch Harbor?If these vessels are engaged in any illegal pursuit there are legal penalties for the same upon convirtion, but Mr.Ivey, will doubtless learn very quickly that' boycotting is not a legal remedy for actual or supposed offsnces, even in Ireland.But Mr.Ivey further instructs his deputy that he x until further orders advised to refuse the privileges of the port, water or fuel, and 1» treat in

at least bring new clothes, No one will object to this, not even the Boers, Clothes; just at the present moment, are of more use to them than British ideas.The staff officer had three months\u2019 leave, and he went home rejoicing.lt was the same staff officer who had first used locomotives as projec tiles in war.As he was a mau of origi- pal ideas, they made much of him at\" home.So he bought a new kit, and, still rejoicing, returned to Sodth Africa.It was a good kit, from Zeiss glasses to cket filter\u2014the best that money could uy.- But the pride of the kit was a pair of chocolate-colored chamois breeches.When the staff officer arrived at Pretoria be put on these breeches, and they at once nade him a column commander.And the staff officer went to his column and found it in front of a hill, on hich were Boers.And the staff officer said: \u2018Where are the enemy?nd they said: \u2018Qu.that hill\u2019 \u2018Absurd \u2019 said the staff officer.\u2018You cannot know.I So he mounted his horse and rode out to the hill.And when the Boers on the top of the hill saw him coming\u2019 they said: \u201cDo not shoot him.Don\u2019t you see he is one of the five-shilling yeomanry.He bas new clothes on !\u2019 ; : Bo the staff officer had to hold up his bands, and it showed off his new kit to.advantage.So much so that the com- -mandant coveted his.tunic, his stock, his glasses, his chocolate breeches asd a = that he had.And, what is more, be took them even unto the salmon-colorer underdrawers from beneath the breeches; and, if the staff officer's own pom-pom had not dropped one shell on the side of the hill, they would have taken the staf officer's cholera belt ag well.As it was.he returned to his column with only iis banyan and his cholera belt; and they said: \u2018Did we not tell you that there were Boers on that hill?\u201d And the staff officer suggested that it was the fortune of war, and borrowed a coat-warm, British, and a peir of khaki overalls trom the supply officer.And in the evening there came an on.voy from the Boer camp with a white flag, and he was wearing the staff officer's chocolate breeches.he staff officer could not grant him an interview, for be had caught a convenient chill on the kopje (as a matter of fact he had seen his breeches in the distance, and, though the Boers wore them bravely, the nature of the fit hurt the staff officer's feelings); 80 the doctor gave the Boer an audience.\u2018You captured our gemeral this morning; why were you such fools as to let him.go?\u2019 said the doctor.\u2018Don\u2019t know that we would be fools to let any British general go!\u2019 answered the Boer.\u2018But we did uot capture a general all the same !\u2019 ; \u2018How do yon know?asked the doc- or.\u2018Well, we can generally tell.A yco- man always wears new clothes, puts his head in the silliest noose, and then uses bad language.You send us.a iot more generals like that man this morning.We won't keep them\u2014no fear; we'll only take what's worth having about then.You can keep the rest\u2014it won't do you much good ! ttf WHAT THE SEA GAVE UP.A curious find has just been

An incident which should go far to ward disabusing.people\u2019s minds of the opinion that a Doukhobor will not for his adopted country happened last night in a north end hotel.\u2018or some days the attention of a great many people, especially those of foreign extraction, has been attracted by a rather peculiar looking foreigner who gave bis name as Wasyl Dudinsky and who could converse im German, French and Russian with equal facility.He had a smattering of English, but generally floated around here and -there confining his acquaintances to men of his own language and nationality, \u2026 e seemed especially interestéd in the Doukhobors and became acquainted with as meny as possible.Though without Visible means of support, he never seemed short of funds and managed to ingratiate himself with most of those with whom he came in contact.The topic of his conversation generally turned upon the subject of the Boer war and the atrocities of DBrit- ish soldiers.As a general rule there was very little disagreement with his arguments so long as he paid for the beer, and, emboldened by the silence of his listeners, he gradually became stronger in his assertions.At the same time the suspicion grew among his supposed victims that he had some definite object in talking = and money so freely.; Tuesday the explosion came while Dudinsky was spreading his doctrines before a couple of Doukhobors over several glasses of beer.He became more violent than usual in his chatges against the British, and finally was bold enough to assert that he was a special Boer agent sent here from Hamb to work among the Doukho- spending his bors and Galicians.This was as far as he went.One of the Douks, a strapping six footer, reached over the little centre table on which the beer stood, and grabbing the pro-Boer by the neck, proceeded to drag him around the room, punched his face, poured beer down his back and then threw him out into the street.Most of those who witnessed the drubbing understood the situation and said never a word.The epecial agent with the versatile tongue hes not since been seen.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE FIRE RECORD.; Pittsburg, Pa, Feb.12.\u2014An early- -morning fire at Harmarville, Pa., destroyed $75,000 worth of property and for a time fhreatened the entire place.The fire started in the plant of the Duquesne Distributing Company and before it was controlled, consumed the main structure, a fourstory brick building, the First Methodist Episcopal urch, post-office, Thompson's general store, a large frame building used as an ice-house by the Duquesne Distributing Company and several small buildings.The town is without a fire department and the citizens fought the flames until they were subdued.Utica, N.Y.Feb.12.\u2014Music Hall, a building owned by the Maennerch Society in this cify, was burned th» | morning.The structure had-very flimsy walls and when a lange section of the front wall fell at five o\u2019clock two firemen were knocked down and severel burt, A detail of their fellows took them to a hospital and it was supposed that Lieutenant John Bernie was among the number.After a time his absence was noted and then search was made for him.After an hour's search his body was found hemmed in near the wall, He was not bruised in any way and had been suffocated by the heat and smoke.The building was occupied hy several organizations, twe restaurants, and contained a large hall.The toal loss.will be about $50,000.5 LP \u2018design their own badge, for use on all ire\u2019 flags\u2019 in that particular part | of \u2018the world.This design has been warmly commended by several persons high in authority to whom it has been exhibited.It \u2018mow remains for His Majesty to place the final eeal of approval.- McGILL GRANTS DEGREES Advertisements.APPLES!

then of the anxious days following nvhen it was believed the Boxers would attack them any moment with swords\u201d and epaans, and their consideration of the question whether if.they were ordered to leave the city they could consent to resign ristian Chinese to the sure fate of a violent death.A smile came to the face of many in the audience as the missionary told of the extraordinary assortment of articles the foreigners.hurriedly took with them when ordered.to.collect together and proceed within twenty minutes to the English legation, their last place of refuge.Here they were most kindly received and each of the other legations was given a house within these comparatively safe quarters.Whole families had often.to Eve in one TOO.\u2018ood was very scarce and in order to provide for the one thousand foreigners and three thousand Christian Chinese horse meat had to be resorted to.One man on eating this flesh for the first time said he felt as if he could never look a horse in the face again.Mention was made of the untiring efforts of the fortification committee of missionaries and of their Chinese helpers and then of the fight to control the conflagrations., A \u2018bucket guard\u2019 was formed, compo: of women as well as men, and when the Bell Tower gave the alarm that a conflagration had started, a line of people st ing from a well to the endangered spot passed buckets, washbasins, cans, etc., filled with water, at great speed from hand to hand.There was work for every one.Fifty thousand sandbags had to be made for stopping up doors and windows.These wére made of the richest silks found in the deserted shops.The str superstition of each lega- \u2018tion that relief would come on its own tic.The express department, which has particular lucky day was alluded to.become congested, is also to be greatl enlarged and better facilities for work provided.- ~ \"JOLLY SLEIGHING PARTY.enough, just everything lovely.Thus the Americans believed the relieving force would surely reach them on July 4.On Aug.14 the troops did coma -at last\u2014the first to enter being the Eng- Yish soldiers from India;

How the foundations of Methodism were laid in Canada is iMustrated in a brief memoir of the Rev.Charles Taggart, who, in the 86th year of his age, died in the city of Ottawa on Jan.13, 1902.He was converted on Sept.11, 1828, and in 1843, was sept forth as a Methodist preacher to the Goulbourn circuit.embracing in its mits eight townshipe with twenty-three appointments to be visited by him every \u2018month.During the year over sixty were | enrolled as members of the Church.and Atty «dollars recelved as salary.Having completed four years probation and passed conference studies.he 1s found in the Os goode circuit on the east side of Bytown, still laving foundations.Next, the country back of Kingston finds him in the midst of a great revival, where 200 are added to the Church roll in a little over a year.So the story runs through the Waterloo.Comsecon, Colborne, Farmers- vile.Merrickville.North Gower and other fields for thirty-one years, when exhausted vigor comoels retirement.The children and ærandchildren of worthy ancestors will remérmiber such honored names as that of Charles Tagzart while they enjoy the fruit of their labors.i How fared the veteran at the close of A SRE VALUE TE DT OU SO PAT TEEA U SERA ES & \u201cAdvertisements, RICE'S STUDIO.UNIQUE sat PORTRAITS.Artistic Work Guaranteed.2261 St, Catherine st.Tel.Up 2173, ULLEY\u2019S BRUSH WORKS, 76 Victoria Square\u2014 78.MACHINE BRUSHES of every description \u2014FOR\u2014 COTTON MILLE, .WOOLLEN MILLS, Le 5, FLOUR MILLS, \u2018 \u2018We.make a spbeiflty of the above.Carpet Sweepers Repalred, Tel, 3140.\u201c~~ DON'T FAIL TO VISIT\u2014 R\u2019R.S.AULDS FINE CONFECTIONERY STORM, Cor.Atwater Ave.anid st.Antoine St, The choicest of Candies, Cakes and .fectionery, fresh for the Holiday trade, in infinite variety, Only the purest and best materials used.High quality of goods at exceedingly low prices guaranteed.Prize-winning Bread of évery kind, Te).Mount, 18.FRED.BARLOW, PLUMBER, GAS AND STEAM FITTER, -
