high window commanding a good view.Monotonous lines will thus be broken, and the window be made useful.The first step in the securing of a .house throne is to erect a platform of ÿ the desired height and size.If more | than eighteen inches high, steps should lead to \u2018the platform.When finished, \"the platform is carpetedd or has a rug \u2018thrown over it.The latter is usually considered better, as it admits of cleans ing with less trouble than the carpet.« A box couch, upholstered with good springs, is often set on the platform, and over this an artistic drapery of tapestry is thrown.Bright colored cushions to harmonize with the draperies and rug \u2018| help te «make the corner attractive.The high window beside the couch is curtained with a soft silk.chintz or velvet.If the latter is used, it will also make good portieres to hang over a pole 1.in front of the throne.The portieres not onlyiadd to the artistic effect, but will {be found useful when any member of the \u2018household wishes to take a siesta.A quantity of cushions on the platform, a with White Crounds, 13< value, at We guarantee to give you tbe value of We have 50 pieces of Prints, Sc per yard, $10

arranged in a dark corner for a cosy retreat.It was upholstered in red and green, and the colors brightened the cntire room.As there was no window, a frieze of red velvet was stretched about the corner of the wall, and framed on this was a frieze of the prophets in black and white effect.A big drop electrolier, with shades of green and red, was swung over the couch, so that the occupant could read in the evening.The cushions were of velvets and soft bright colored silks.This idea can be carried out in accurate Japanese, Turkish, East Indian or any Oriental effect, at comparatively small expense.The cushions, to be Ori- Terms Gash.THE JOHN MURPHY COMPANY, LIMITED, 2341-2343 St.Catherine Street.TELEPHONE UP 2740.Cor.Metcalfe.to the effect that the city might under take the improvemrent at its own risk.A representative of the company who was present intimated that, as the foundation was not a part of the pump they were not responsible for that; the pump itself was practically noiseless, as noiseless as any gearing could possibly be made, which was all the contract called or.Alderman Chaussé remarked that a pump which was stopped by the courts as à nuisance to everybody living in the vicinity could scarcely be considered as coming within the meaning of the contract by any interpretation that could be read into it.Mr.Archambault, joœnt city attornev, informrad the committee that they had full power to decide on what action they would take without going to council.le said also that the law department would decide on what course to pursue m the matter after a careful examination of al the documents in the case.The question has been dragging along for months without any practical result.and as the pump has cost 1iftv thousand dollars, the greater part of

it was leernzd thut he wae stricken down with an acutegattack of hemorrhage of the lungs.The best medical attendance in the city wis secured, but all to no avail.He went to Mont real to consult a specialist, but returned without receiving much encouragement.By advice he went to Murray Bay, but the air was tço etrong, and he came back to his home.Then the doctors sent him to New York, to Washington, and other places further south, but no re- bef was granted him, 4rd he virtually came home to die.Besides tis widow, the deceased leaves one son, Mr.Lucien Pacaud, advocate; Mrs.(Major) Laf- -ferty, of Montreal, and two yonuger daughters, to mown his loss.Ernest Pacaud, journalist, was born at Three Rivers, Que, on Aug.25, 1850, his father, the late P.N.Pacaud, N.P., of Arthabaska, having been a patriot of the rebellion of 1837.Exucated-at Ni- colet College, Mr.Pacaud was called to the Bar in 1872 and was engaged in active practice at Artbabeska Bar until 1878.In the same year he was appointed prothonotary of the Superior Court, Clerk of the Crown, and Tlerk of the Circuit Court for the District of THE LATE MR.PACAUD.© an Three Rivers by Sir Henri Joly de Lot- biniere.lu

same year he was called by the leaders of the Liberal party to take control of the \u2018Electeur,\u201d which became\u201d the principal organ of the party in that district.In consequence of a mandement issued by Archbishop Begin in 186, in which that paper was denoune- ed for its \u2018perfidious articles,\u2019 publication was suspended and the \u2018Soleil\u2019 issued in its stead.Mr.Pacaud was prominently identified with the late Mr.Honore Mercier, the then Provincial Premier, and in October, 1892, was with him tried at Quebec on certain charges of conspiracy, and acquitted.Twice Mr.Pacaud ran for the Dominion Parliament but was defeated on both occasions.He was a Roman Catholic in religion, and married, in 1876, a danghter of the Hon.J.E.Turcotte, a well known

east side band of thugs, who last week was convicted of assault in the first degree, to-day was sentenced to serve ten years in Sing Sing prison.Sentence was pronounc by Recorder Goff in the Court of General ons.Fastman was trièd on a charge of attempting to kill George E.Bryan, a detective.It was alleged that some of Eastman's companions were in the act of robbing an intoxicated youth whom Bryan was shadowing, and that when the detective interfered, Kastmen fired several shots at him.After hearing the evidence the jury brought in a verdiet of assault in the first degree.George Coan, a notorious character, who occupied a position among the erimi- nals of the west side similar to that of Eastman on the east side, also was sent to Sing Sing for ten years by Recorder Goff to-day.Like Fastman, Coan had been convicted of assault in the first de.Coan\u2019s victim eventually died, and Recorder Goff, in passing sentence, said that if it had not been for the laxness of justice, he should have been tried for murder, as murder undoubtedly was committed, RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS.GILBERT §.STAIRS CHOSEN BY NOVA SCOTIA.Halifax, N.S.April 20.\u2014The eenate of Dalhousie University,

help! murder! help! murder!\u2019 Such were the cries that invaded the sleepers\u2019 ears ingthe middle of the night, to which horrible sounds was added the furious barking of Carlo.- The men seized their revolvers and rushed out of the tent.At about sixty yards distant they saw a man on the ground struggling under two fellows, and still crying, though more faintly, \u2018murder\u2019 and \u2018help.\u2019 \u2018They are killing him!\u2019 cried George, and Robinson and he cocked their revolvers and ran furiously towards the men.But these did not wait the attack.They started up and off like the wind, followed by two shots from Robinson that whistled unpleasantly near them.\u2018Have they hurt you, my peor fellow ® said Robinson.The man only groaned for answer.Robinson turned his face up in the moonlight, and recognized a man to whom he had never spoken, but whom bis watchful eye had noticed more than once iu the mine\u2014it was, in fact, the pedler, Walker.* Stop, George, I have seen this face in bad company.Ub!

With trembling hands Robinson struck a light.Gone\u2014the work of months gone in a moment\u2014the hope of a life smatched out of a lover's very hand, and heid out a mile off again ! The poor fellows rushed wildly out into the night.They saw nothing but the wretched decoy vanishing behind the nearest tents.They came into the tent again.They sat down \u2018and bowed to the blow in silence, and looked at one another, and their hps quivered, and they feared to speak lest they should break into unmaniy rage or sorrow.Do they sat like stone till day-break.; And when the first streak of twilight came in George said in à firm whis per: \u201cTake my hand, Tom, before we go to work.So the two friends sat hand in hand a minute or two; ams that hard grip of two working men\u2019s hands, though it was not gently eloquent like beauty\u2019s soft expressive palm, did yet séy many things good for the heart in this bitter hour.; lt said, \u2018A t calamity has fallen; but we do not Diam: each other, as some turn to directly and do.It is not your fault.George.It is not your fault, om.Ît said, \u2018We were lucky together; now we ara unlucky together\u2014all the more friends.\u201d With this the sun rose, and for the first time they crept to their work instead of springing to it.They still found gold in it, but got quitz so abundant or eo large.They had raised the cream of it for the thieves.Moreover, a rush had been made to the hole, claims measured off actually touching them, so they could not foilow the gold-bearing strata borizon- tally\u2014it belonged to their neighbors.They worked in silence\u2014they eat their meal in silence.Rut as they rose +0 work again Robinson said very gravely, ver solemnly : # Gzorge, now I know what an hones* man feels when -he is robbed of the \\bis sobriety.1 1 had koown it fifteen fruits of hi# work and his self-deniel and | gorie, Drops and Soothing and Flatulency.Bears the 4 The Kind Y .THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.er ee in use for over 30 years, has borne the The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been ghatnre of and has been made under his per- spnal sgpervision since its infancy.Allow no one to deceive you in this, All Counterfeits, Imitations and ¢ Just-as-good\u2019\u2019 are but Experiments that trifle with and endanger the health of Infants and Children\u2014Experience, against Experiment.What is CASTORIA Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Pare.Syrups.It is Pleasant.It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor other Narcotic substance.Its age is its guarantee.It destroys Worms sand allays Feverishness.It cures Diarrhœa and Wind Colic.It relieves Teething Troubles, cures Constipation It assimilates the Food, regulates the Stomach and Bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep.The Children\u2019s Panacea\u2014The Mother\u2019s Friend, GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Signature of ou Have Always Bought In Use For Over 30 Years.THE CENTAUR COMPANY, T?MURRAY BTREET, NEW YORK CITY.EXPRESS WACCONS.The kind you want Now 1884 Notre Dame st.LaTiMeRs SEED: bee ee vears ago I should never have bean a\u2014 what 1 have been.\u2019 l'or two months the friends worked sloutly with leaden hearts, but did little wore than pay their expenses.The bag lay between them light as a feather.Ope moruïg Tom said to George: \u2018 George, this won't do.prospecting.Moore will lend me his norse lor à day; ~ That day George worked alone.Robinson roue all over the country with a tin pan at his back, and tested all the places that seemed likely to his expeni- I am going enced eye.At night he returned to their tent.George was just lying down.No sleep to-night, George,\u201d said he, instinctively lowering his voice to a whisper, \u20181 have found surïace-gold ten miles to the southward.\u2019 * Well, we will go to it to-morrow.\u2019 \u2018 What, by daylight, watched as we are ?We, the two lucky ones,\u2019 said Robinson, bitterly.No.Wait till the coast is clear\u2014then strike teut and away.\u2019 (To be continued.) \u2014\u2014 BIBLE TRUTH.WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2.FUTURE PUNISHMENT.On this subject we are shut up to the teaching of God\u2019s Word.Men's opinions about it are worthless, they are so varied, and men know nothing about it.First.Sin will be punished.The soul that sinneth shall die.(Eza.xviii, 20; Rom.vi, 23; Rev.xx, 14, 15.) Second.There is punishment here.Witness the deluge, Sodom, Duvid.(dob xxi., 17; Ps.xxxii., 10; xxxvii., 10; Prov.xi, 21; Isa.xiii, 11.) Third.There is punishment herzafter.(Matt.xxv., 26; Ps.ix., 17; Prov.xiv, 32; 11.Thess.1,, 9, II.Pet.ii, 9; il, 7.) Fourth.Demons look tor future punishment.(Matt.viii, 29.) They believe about it when men do not.Who is most likely to be right\u201c There are spirits in pfi- son, who were warned before they went there.(I.Pet.iii, 19, 20.) Fifth.Punishment i= not vindictiveness on God's part.All civilized communities have prisons and pumshments, and thus confess their necessity.Without law and punishment the universe would go to destruction.What future punishment may be .n its nafure we do not know, but there are men on earth whose soul expertence is a hell of suffering and self- reproach.We can imagine its continuance, for circumstanees do not change character.(See Luke xvi., 26-31.) Sixth.God has made provision for saving men from present and futre pumshment.His mercy and love and grace are abundantly manifested in the Gospel, that men may be saved.(Jno.iii, 16; Acts x, 42.43.) He who died to save is He who 1s to judge all men.God's jucgments always foretold, long delayed, are certain.Seventh.No escape {rom future judgment for /those who neglect | God's offered salvation through Christ.(Matt.xxiii., 33; Heb.xii, B; ii, 3, 4.)

Member From Cornwall.VARIOUS VIEWS ON THE TARIFF QUESTION-\u2014-SENATE ON INMORAL LITERATURE.Ottawa, April 20.\u2014The Liberal and Conservative whips have arranged for a division at to-day\u2019s sitting upon the transcontinental railway resolution, but it is still a little doubtful whether the vote may not have to be put off till tomorrow on account of the number of speakera who are still desirous of being heard, Nothing could be imagined more ut terly wearying than the latter stage of this discussion.Often there is only one man in the chamber listening to what 13 being said, the \u2018Hansard\u2019 reporter, whose duty it is to hand down to- future generations a verbatim copy of the de bate, There are a large number of members in the Capital becanse of the approach of the division, but it is with considerable difficulty that the whips can keep enough of them in the chamber to maintain a quorum.i THAT BLAIR, MEMORANDUM.At the opening of yesterday\u2019s sitting the leader of the Opposition offered another word of explanation concerning the text of his reference to the Hon.A.G.Blair's confidential memorandum, to his colleagues upon the railway question.\u2018Hansard\u2019 credited Mr.Borden with having spoken of the memorandum as published.The leader of the Opposition did not think he had used the word \u2018published,\u201d and quoted a letter from the chief of the \u2018Hansard\u2019 staff to the effect a mistake bad occurred in transcription of the reporter's notes.The word \u2018published\u2019 should have been \u2018prepared.\u2019 Mr.Borden made this explanation to show that he had not spoken of the memorandum as already published when he knew that it was not: THE WOOLLEN DUTIES.Mr.Robert A.Pringle, the member from Cornwall, moved the formal motion of adjowrnment to repeat his statement of the previous day that the woollen industry is going down and that it must have better tanff protection to save it from utter annihilation.He wished to empbhasize his former declaration that the Cornwall woollen mill had to shut down because of the tariff.In 1901 the output of Canadian woollen factories was $7.359,000, but since then the Cornwall mill has closed its doors whilst the Canada Woollen Company is shatting down its various mills on May 12.This was directly due to the effect of the preferential tariff which left only twentr-three and a half percent of a customs protection for our Canadian woollen manufacturers.In the United States there are duties on woollens ranging from sixty to a hundred and fifty percent and he found itghard to know why one industry in Camada was subjected to such hard usage.The Finance Minister had denied vesterday that the Canadian wcol- len mills were not closed because he had a circular in his poesesston from the Canada Woollen Mills Company declaring that this gompany is still convass- ing for orders and guaranteeing delivery.Mr.Pringle challenged the minister to prove his statement by producing the circular in question.He referred incidentally to a speech of the Hon.Charles Hyman, in Montreal, which he took as foreshadowing an increase of the teriff.The member for Cornwall would support increased protection to the cotton manufacturers, who had been hard Lit by the reference.?MANUFACTURERS ARE BUSY.The Finance Minister was proud to say that under the tariff in force to-day ninety percent of the manwiacturers are vastly better off than they were in the days of the National Policy.There was no precedent for bringing in a tariff discussion in this fgshion.so he aid rot propose following Mr.Pringle in an argument of the tariff situation.He held to his assertion of Monday regarding this circular and quoted its contents as ows: \u2014 .Pollo avord misunderstanding, we take this means of informing vou that our company is still taking orders and all orders accepted by us will, as heretofore, be filled on the terms and at the date agreed on without fail.* Any repeats of present orders should be with us as soon as possible.tral Yours truly, CANADA WOOLLEN MILLS, LTD, George Davidson, Ne Secretary-treasurer.MR.BROCK.Mr.W.R.Brock, member for Centre Toronto, who happens to be also president of the Canada Woollen Mills Company.declared that two of this com pany\u2019s mills had already closed down for want of orders, whilst the remaining plants at Hespeler and Waterloo are preparing to close next month.They are only being kept in operation for the benefit of the operatives and that the company may have a few orders to hand over to the purchasers when the plant is all sold out.The truth was.though.that the company had been losing $50.000 a vear.Under the preferential tariff their orders were becoming smaller and smaller.Capadian dealers have been buying less and less from the Canadian mills.and have been forced to purchase instead in Yorkshire.Mr.Brock charged that the Hop.W.S.Fielding was trying to use this®ciren- lar for political purposes.CLASS AFFECTED.Mr.W.F.McCreary, of Selkirk.made the assertion that only one class of wonl- Jen manufactures is seriously affected by the preferential tariff, that is, cheap tweeds for ready-made clothing.Other woollen goods are being made in Canada at a considerable profit.and the mill at St.Hyacinthe is actually shipping knitted woollens to Britain.Tt was well known, he added.that the Rosamond mills at Almonte have been closed down several times.vet this never indicated that the woollen industry wag going to pieces.If a government commission were appointed to ascertain the actnal conditions in the woollen industry it should inquire from the employees as well as the owners.Mr.McCreary knew of 2 woollen mill not a hundred miles from Ottawa which has paid half a dozen times over for ite original outky, even although it was htted with machinery thirty years old.THE KINGSVILLE MILL.Mr.M.K.Cowan, of South Essex, declared that the Kingsville woollen mill, which went into bankruptcy under the Conservative régime, is mow turning out twice as much as it did in days goné by, and is now working almost night and ay.; A VOICE FROM THE WEST.Mr.Frank Oliver, of Alberta, held that the people of Canada are reaping a big advantage out of the reduction of the woollen duties, and warned the govern- mept \u2018against listening to the demands of Ynanufacturers for a restoral of the conditions that existed under the Conservative government.BRITISH COMPETITION.Mr.H.J.Logan, Liberal, of Cumberland, was afraid that the British competition in woollens was becoming too keen.Still, the woollen manufacturers\u2019 best course was to leave their case in the bands of the Finance Minister.There were three mills in his constituency, one at Oxford, which has just enlarged its plant; another at Amberst, which now furnishes employment to one hundred bands, and a third now being established at Springhill.For his own part he was proud to wear a Canadian-made suit, but was certain that nine-tenths of the Conservative members, with so much to say about the protection of home manu- actures, are themselves wearing English tweeds.Mr.Logan charged that Canadian Conservatives, whilst professing sympathy ith the Chamberlain move, ment, would yet oppose t owermg o the duties on British goods entering this country.Mr.Thompson (Grey)\u2014\u2018Are you opposed to the Chamberlain policy?\u2019 ; Mr.Logan\u2014\u20181 am opposed to lowering the duties on British goods coming to Canada.I am in favor of the Chamberlain proposal as far ag it proposes to bind the empire together, but if it means the sacrifice of Canadian industries for British industries I am opposed to it\u201d The motion for adjournment was then lost and the matter dropped.THE RAILWAY DEBATE.The transcontinental railway debate was then resumed, the first speaker being Mr.A.E.Kemp, Tvative member for Fast Toronto.He denounced what he called the \u2018mad portion\u2019 of the ministerial project, that is, the proposed extension to Quebec and Moncton.To his mind if the Grand Trunk desired connection with the rest, it should ' have started at North Bay.He defended his colleague, Mr.E.B.Osler, from the at: tacks that had been levelled at him from the government side of the House.He knew that, Mr.Osler, although connected with the Canadian Pacific, had not woted in parliament upon any measure in which that road was concerned.MR.J.J.HUGHES.OF P.E.T.Mr.J.J.Hughes, Liberal, of Prince Edward Island, accused the Opposition of unpatriotism in fighting this contracte was sure that the government policy was the only one that would give Cana dian trade to Canadian channels and Canadian ports.Mr.Hughes found fault with Mr.E.B.Osler\u2019s financial caleula- tions about the cost of this new highway, and laughed at -the idea of making such a man finance minister of Canada, Yet such.he understood, was the intention of the Conservative party if Mr.rden was returned to office.ANOTHER ISLAND MEMBER.Mr.A.A.Lafurgey, Conservative, of Prince Edward Island, denounced the bargain with the Grand Trunk Pacific as the work of lers and graîters, and promised that it will yet bring the Liberal party to destruction.He could see ne merit in the contract either from & mantime province or from a Dominion point of view.Mr, Lafurgey announced Plt in favor of government owner ship.MR.THOMSON.Mr.T.F.Thomson, Conservative, of North Grey.held that the time has gone by when the government of Canada should vote millions of money towards the encouragement of railway construe.tion.The farmers are burdened with the load of taxation which they have to bear already.The debate was adjourned on motion of Mr.Samuel Barker, Conservative, of Hamilton.IN THE SENATE QUESTION OF PROHIBITION Oy INDECENT LITERATURE\u2014MU- TUAL RESERVE FUND LIFE ASSOCIATION, In the Senate the Hon.Mr.David inquired what practical means are taken by the customs authorities to prevent the introduction into this country of indecent and immoral literature, pictures aml designs, and whether the government intended to amend the law on this subject.In doing so he said he made the inquiry because it was necessary to protect our country from the introdue- tion of these things.In Montreal in certain depots he had seen books - and pictures which he would be ashamed to mention.Nor could he even allude to what he had seen or read.Immorality sapped the youth of a young nation.It was its worst foe.If an armed army were at the frontier there would be a rush to the front by Lower Canada, but literature and pictures, such as he had alluded were worse.Jt was the duty of the g&vernment to do its share towards keeping them out.The Hon.Mr.McMullen endorsed all that Mr.David had said.The Hon.Mr.Scott entirely sympathized with the object Mr.David had in view.He read the customs law prohibiting the importation of such books and papers.It was difficult to impress upon officers what was immoral or in- decent.The Minister always ready to do all keep such matter out.amending the law was ation.= The Hon.Mr.of Customs was that he could to The question of under consider- David knew the law, Would it not be possible in the great centres such as ntreal, Quebec \u2018and Toronto, to have some competent officer to judge of the books and papers imported and prevent their coming in.The Hon.Mr.Scott asked if any citizen had written to Mr.Patterson pointing out cases?If so, they would be dealt with, It was impossible to deal with genral complaints, The Hon.Mr.Poirier believed in its way the cigarette was as bad as immoral literature, and suggested a bureay charged with the examination of books and pictures.The Hon.Mr.Domville resumed his complaint agninst the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association.To show what was being done in England, he read a report of the judgment in Foster ve, the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, rendered in the Appeal branch of the High Court of Justice, in which the company was condemned with costs, After that evidenæ no one could say that he was trying to hurt any one.People in Canada were watching the Senate as their last hope of relief.He read tetters from the agents of the company remonstrating with the management, and showing that whilst business had gone down, the cost of management had gone up.He read numerous extracts trom Mr.Wells's letters, showing that 5 percent of the new premiums was paid to Mr.Morse, the head of the agencies, and severely criticizing the management for placing the funds of the company to the credit of a private individual, who was not to be hampered in his doings, in con- sequemre of which the auditor resigned, The correspondence from which Mr, Domville read reached as far back as 1898, and included letters from Mr.Wells, Mr.Vrooman and Mr.Geo.B.H.Tracey, in which he expressed the opinion that the president and general manager had both laid themselves open to prosecution for frawd.He read letters showing that it had been excluded from doing business in Minnesota, California, Colorado, Tennessee, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Vermont and Colombia, whilst in Canada it was called to face a Senatorial investigation.The Hon, Jos.Martin, K.C., wrote in regard to his policy - with the company, he had heen victimized, and told them if the president or vice-president would go to British Columbia he would prosecute them for obtaining money under false pretences.He knew his letter had left him open to a charge of criminal libel and wished the association would institute proceedings.so as to enable him te show it up.Mr.Domville said that under the law as it existed.policy holders had no resourse.He asked to \u2018be allowed to adfourn the debate till the papers he has asked for were brought down.Sir Mackenzie Bowell asked the cause of the case in England which led to the order for the return of all the premiums.The Hon.Mr.Donrville said it was on account of misrepresentation.The debate was then adjourned till Monday.ONTARIO LEGISLATURE Toronto University Bill Receives Final Reading.MR.J.W.ST.JOHN CONTINUES CONSERVATIVE OPPOSITION TO \u2018SOO GUARANTEE\u2014LIQUOR LICENSE BILL POST- ! PONED.\u2014_\u2014 Parliament Buildings, Toronto, April 20.\u2014The Legislature had a lively afier- noon sitting yesterday with a varied bill of fare for the visitors in the galleries.The announcement was definitely made that there would be no teroperance bill this year.: Mr.Whitrey said he would like some final and definite statement as the government\u2019s intention with regard to liquor license law amendment this session, The House should know if any legislation of any description regarding the iquor traf- fie was proposed.\u2018I think that the House is entitled at this stage of the session, to some expression of the government\u2019s views.In the speech from the throne it was stated that \u201ca measure would be submitted for the improvement of the license law.\u201d What is going to be done about it?Mr.Ross\u2014It is not our intention to bring in any lepisiaiion this session in regard to the license Jay.A \u2018strong speech regarding the government's duty to Toronto University was made by Mr, J.P.Whitney, Opposition leader, He stated that he had been approached by a high official of the university who expressed the needs of the university.which the government refused to grant.Afterwards this official was rapped over the knuckles by the government because he had primed the Opposition leader.Mr.Whitney said that the government looked with enmity Upon any opposition member who dared Premier seemed willing enough to cheer.fally grant large cash bonuses and land grants to railway companies that are \u2018this statement and stated that he knew to deal with the university question.The | #89 ea WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1904 G \\, CEYLON TEA REEN OR BLACK, Is the best tea to be had.You have \u201cTr conomy - used the rest, now try the best.A en package will convince you that in point of purity, quality and & there is no peer of Ceylon Tea.For Sale by all First-class Grocers, Se od z - \u201carm f SEASON 1904.\\ 4 If you want any description of Awning for any purpose, for neatness,durabilityand reasonable price, give your order to the meer MERCHANT'S AWNING Co, 1477 Notre Dame Street Ng JERR es HEE Vin nh about a bundred thousand dollars, Mr.Harcourt said that not one professor or teacher of Toronto University had received lis appointment through his political leanings, and not one had lost his position for that reason.Gill University of Montreal has received extraordinary aid from Montreal millionnaires and although Toronto University has received no such aid it compares favorably with the colleges of other cities.The government has not said the last word in regard to university aid.Mr.Ross said that no friend of the university would thank Mr.Whitney for his speech because its purpose was to set the university and the Liberal party ; against cach other.He had SPOKEN in a partisan, demagogic fashion and taken a narrow view of the question, forgetting that Toronto University is only a part of Ontario's great educational STR- tem.Mr.Whitney had been \u2018primed\u2019 but very badly primed.This professor did a very undimified thing when he \u2018primed,\u2019 or in other words fetched and carried for the Opposition leader.Mr.Whitney said it was evident that -the Premier intended to continue his czarship over the faculty.even when thev dared to do their priming on the floor of the Howse.The bill to amend the University act of 1901 was read a third time and adopted.The debate on the motion for the second reading of the bill to give a mmr antee loan of two million dollars to the \u2018Soo\u2019 industries was resumed hy Mr, J W.Bt.John, Conservative, West York.He said that the government paid the wages of the workmen before the br-election in order to buy the riding and are giving this two mik lion dollars guarantee in order to insure Mersrs.Commmee and Bowman being paid their four hundred and ten thousand doltars lien.and thus keep the votes of these two members.Mr.Conmee grew very indimmant at rothing of the hill when it was introduced as he was out of the city, but he believed that the measure was needed \u2018 = Said \\ Bell Tel.Main 3330.J boom mx b .Wills Mr.Ross\u2014The total estimate will be [ and would bave advised somethin: -f C the kind if it had not been Introiire se the loan would mem [rors and development for New Ontane STR Mr.Roes said that if Mr.su oir peated his statement that the \u2018so rer, Me- stitueney had been hought he would zc the Speaker for a ruling.Mr.St.John withdrew hms Statemer, Lo but remarked that he wished he +» - banq frame the statement in jrerhamer oy great lenguafle, because it was true.The After recess a sensation was evn «ral by Mr.W.R.Smyth.Conservaur-.mye charging Mr.J.M.Conmee vath Omar.mate ening him, should he vote amin the per \u20ac \u2018Soo\u2019 bill.Mr.Conmee said in i= in + 1 have got vou bv the throas 5 y- see don\u2019t support this bill we'll throw rs Lone down on your Bruce Mines ron!
