THE- APTITUDE -OF THE POWERS.nation rations for hoatllities will be relaxed or that\" tlie popular outcry will be diminished by Admiral.Rojestvensky\u2019s report; but \u2018it is, understood that Great Britain would ran the risk of forfeiting in some degree the good will of France, and certainly that of German y, if she proceeded to substitute war ie for diplomati steps, of which intention, do-it is state is no indication in Lord Lansdowne\u2019s cormuhunication.is \u2018held to bé of the highest importance.It\u2019 was maid to-day by the representative of auotlier great power that if France had \u2018given definite assurances that she would not support: Russia in the event of war growing out of the North Sea incident; a hostile issue would: be almost inevitable, as the temptation to crush the Russian naval power after such provocation could scarcely have béen refused by Great Britain.It is pointed out that it] is greatly to France's interest to pre serve peace, and her efforts in that direction obviously will be strengthened by.not committing herself except at the last moment.So long as Great Britain is not sure whether France will help Russia, she will' not be likely to engage in war; while Russia, with France neutral, would, so it is thought at most of the embassies here, scarcely invite defeat.The most probable solution of the rumors regarding France\u2019s position is said by a high authority to be that she has given both disputants to understand that she does not desire to become involved, but has reserved her final decision.M.ambou was: unceasingly active throughout -the :day, not only in visiting .Lord Lansdowne and Count Benckendorff,- but others of bis diplonfatic colleagues.HAYASHI'S' OPINIONS.after reading Admiral Rojestvensky\u2019s re- ort, again reiterated Lis statement that it was impossible that any Japanese tor- edo boat could have.been where the Russian admiral thought-them.He declared that Rojestvensky\u2019s own statement of indiscriminate fiting after such slight investigation, showed that the Russian -fleet was likely to menace the safety of all neutral seas, and make international law merely a farce.War between England and Russia, Baron Hayashi frankly .admitted, would be greatly to.Japan's advantage; yet as a friend of England, he would be sorry to see it come, though such a war could hardly consist of more than one naval engagement, the result of which would be a foregone conclusion.- Exactly what method can be taken to investigate Vice-Admiral : Rojestvensky\u2019s statements does not clearly appear.The Russian embassy here can throw no light upon the alleged presence of torpedo boats in the North Sea; the British Admiralty hae no information, and fresh inquiry among the trawlers elicits no new facts.e Russian embassy thinke quiry is proceeding at Vigo, where the testimony of the officers participating in the affair is being minutely recorded.WHAT IS A \u2018DEMAND\u2019?The apparent contradictions between statements emanating from St.Peters burg, and.the understanding here as te whether Great Britain has deman the punishment of those responsible for the Korth Sea affair, arises from the fact that- while-admittedly no demands have been submitted: by Sir Charles Har- dinge in St.Petersburg, Lord Lans downe, in conversation with Count Benckendorff, has laid down propositions which, to.all intents and purposes, are just as much in the nature of demands as if they had been specifically forme- lated, but wonld oply become \u2018demands in the \u2018strictly diplomatic sense when formulated and presented.: No representations have been made by \u2018the Japanese or the British government regarding the-actién of the Spanish authorities in connection with the second Pacific fleet, both vernments being perfectly satisfied with the correctness of the \u2018Spanish.attitude.RUSSIAN SKEPTICISM.A FEW TRENCHANT CRITICISMS.St.Petersburg, Oet.28.\u2014In diplomatic circles Rojestvensky\u2019s report created the keenest interest.The feeling is\u2019the situation demands impartial \u2018investigation to determine the facts to the satisfaction \u2018of both parties and to the world generally.The mystery is mot considered to be cleared up.Ome of the things particularly pointed out \u2018is the fact that Re-.jestvensky\u2019s report was written alter \"he ad seen the foreign accounts of the affair.The Admiralty is unable to explain why, after being attacked, he waited - four days before reporting, and I Chase's Ointment.tbat .he then took pains: to reply to the \u201cIn the présent temper of the British | \u201ci not at all Jikely that prepa.\u2019 at the Russian.embassy to-night, there The attitude\u2019of France\u2019 Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister, y that a further and \u2018more elaborate in-| y allegations-of the.press.tors this -is course the: government - aécepts the re- \u2018cortect, it will place Great.Britain;

the present operator is thought to be one of these.THE FRENCH SHORE ANGLO-FRENCH AGREEMENT DIS CUSSED BY THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.Paris, Oct.28.\u2014The report of M.Francois de Loniel on the Anglo-French agreement relative to Newfoundland was laid before the Chamber of Deputies yesterday.It strongly approves of the agreement and says: \u2018It is chiefly important in putting an end to a serious difficulty between two great nations.It is part of the general movement.for à rapprochement and union between France and Great Britain.Too: long have these countries been divided.The bour has come when both peoples desire reconciliation and union A UNIQUE CONVENTION.Minneapolis, Minn., Oct.27\u2014Forty- five churches of Minneapolis have united with the Y.M.C.A.in an elaborate plan to reproduce one of the great presidential nominating conventions at the Y.M.C.A.building to-night.Each church will represent a state having an electoral vote, and the size of the deletions will vary from ten to fifty members.It is expected that marching clubs will be formed before the conven tion and that the delegates will march to the convention hall with drum corps and all the usual campaign paraphernalia.Speechmaking and balloting will be the same as in any convention.arr MR.MORLEY.Quebec, Oct.28.\u2014The Right Hon.John Morley, M.P., arrived in the city yesterday from Montreal.This is his first visit, and he spent the day sightseeing, in company with Mr.Hayter Reed.The distinguished visitor left last night for Ottawa and Toronto.He will be a guest at Rideau Hall, and will visit Dr.Goldwin Smith at Toronto.On Nov.3 he will be present at the functions in connection with foundries day at Pitteburg.SHOT BY HIGHWAYMEN.Chicago, Oct.28 \u2014George E.Turner, 48 years old, a retired soldier, on his way to his home in Brockton, Mass., was fatally shot by two hold-up men here early to-day.He had attempted to resist the handits when commanded to throw up his hands.} TISDALE ACQUITTED.Woodstock, Ont., Oct.28.\u2014At the fall | assizes High Constable William Tisdale was tried on the charge of feloniously shcoting William Swartz, of Embro, for whom he had a warrant on the charge of assault.The j found him not guilty, but recommended that constables exercise greater care in the handling of firearms.Tisdale contended that he shot his prisoner by accident as he was chasing him after the escape.MAGNETIC HEALER MISSING.Winnipeg, Oct.28.\u2014Mounted Police are looking for Joseph Fike, of Dids- rry, who is wanted at Olds for manslaughter.A man named Leonard New- some was recovering from typhoid fever.when Fike came around and said he could cure him by magnetic healing.He rolled him around violently, and kept this treatment up for a week.A coron- er\u2019s jury returned a verdict of manslaughter, but Fike cannot now be ound.A NARROW ESCAPE.Toronto, Oct.28.\u2014Two workmen were ! caught in a small room in the tower of | Toronto University by the door, with spring lock, slamming to.ey were in danger of starving to death, but were discovered by two students.SPOILED ONIONS CONFISCATED.A carload of onions arrived by the Grand Trunk Railway from Stratford a few days ago, ard on inspection they were found to be nearly all bad.Of the nineteen thou- sznd pounds in the car there were not enough good ones to pay the freight.They were rold this morning by auction for & mere trifle.They appeared to have been frost bitten or water soaked, and after- e\u2014 THE MENDELSSOHN TRIO.The concert of the Mendelssohn Trin at Karn Hall on Monday fst.assisted by Mise Eva Plouffe and others, was one of the most artistic and enjoyable of the season.The piano used was a Chickering & Sons\u2019 Concert Grand from the warerooms of C.W.Lindsay, Limited, 2306 St.Catherine street.men CURE AAC SS TRG i haf in Spe oe dome Yaa N For Infants and Children.The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature se El PEER LOTTI [EL ARRAS | AVegetable Preparation for As- simdtating the Food and ula - see semas aniPowelscf | INEST || Promotes Digestion Cheesful- De rina nciter | il i.Morphine nor Mineral.|i || NoT NARCOTIC.1] {| Sewer OX D'SOCCEL EICHER | Prainphie Smd~ + !

:nement which was derived, no doubt, « some O'Sullivan of the great days \u201cag ego.The O\u2019Sullivans had become .isant farmers themselves in these lat- ; days, afler generations of marriage \u201ci peasant farmers.But the homely ood had somehow given place in Judy ~, tne good old blood.Little Jul; trom \u201cr earliest childhood looked lin: the Cad uf gentiefolk.Now that she was grown up she was a lady.spe had a way of putting on garments, :a on wise different rom those of her «ters, that lent tacm a gracè ana pro- prety which were not in the things rnemselves.; LL The oud thing was that in the family Judy passed for the ugly one.Her sis- tora were flaxen-haired, rosy-cheeked, tiue-eved, ample-bosomed girls, who were the beauties of the countryaide.Taey were good-natured girls, and Judy crovoked no animosites, so they had nev- t+ to.her in so many words that she was ugly: but Judy felt that they thought 1 ali the same.Sometime in Judy's childhood an old masan: woman, with the cruel outspokenness of her class, had hurled at her se epithet \u2018yellow\u2019 It remained in her mund with extraordinary persistenes, For some odd reason the ideal of beauty in an Irish peasant\u2019s mind is a fair, h:ghiy colored person.Among them- se.ves the people often wondered how Rory C'Eullivan's Judy came\u2019 lo be \u2018so ve_ow and poor-loking\u2019 among his handsome family.But, then, of course, the man himself was nothing to look at.The fact of her ugliness became to Judy something to be accepted as the will of God.She had a little room in the woof, very poorly furnished, but a solitude she loved.Her sisters prefrred to be together in a large dormitory-like room, where they talked half the night and had quarrels at times over the use of the looking-glass.It was Like that oddity Judy to prefer the old loft above, where the naked tbatch showed through the rafters and the eaves of it came so far down over the littie window that the place was ih 8 perpetual twilight.Fads had no desire at all to look in the glass nor for a better light.The bit of lcoking-gla:s which hung from a rafter.and which was green and seamed and had lost hali the quicksilver, gave Judy such a reflection of herself that se was not at all anxious to see it again.She was a tender, impressionable creature, and she had accepted the standards of the people about her.She heard her sisters talk of their lovers and arrange 2rrogaptly «ate, RAB age they would marry, with a detachment from all such things which gave ber the lonely sorrow that looked out oi her stormy eyes.Not that she would think of he sis ters lovers.The idea of having ome of tnose smart young farmers, with bLright- blue neckties to match their eyes, and badly-made black clothes in which they went courting and visiting\u2014-clothes in which their honest good looks of every day entirely disappeared\u2014 as à lover, tæned Judy faint with horror.But there was something else\u2014some- tung which the others knew nothin 8: all about\u2014the love Judy had rea ol in the few books the house contained, vaich had dirappeared unmissed because Do One was interested in them, and lay a:dden away in holes in the thatch and behind the biz rafters.And there were Peautiful, gallant, gracious persons, ÉNAAIS and heroes, in (the world, the Ley ought of whom made Judy thrill.\u201cvem ar she was ugly, and \u2018yellow as a sites claw.as the old woman had said hg ago.she was free to dream her swam;

in her case Judy\u2019s delicate aquiline nose had become a pronounced hook.She had Judy\u2019s white, even, small teeth, unspoiled by age.Her son was the image of her; and they were all three plainiy like the picture of Sir Florence O'Sullivan, a.faraway chieftain of the family, which hung above the mantel-shelf in the dim little parlor.Mrs.O'Sullivan had been a cousin of her husband, and also an O\u2019Sullivan.She was an austerely pious, proud, aescetic old woman, from \u2018whom Mary Flavin\u2019s children, with the -only exception of Judy, were worlds removed.She had never been harsh with the children, as might have been supposed.Indeed, there was something fine and noble about her which made her tolerant of ways sq far removed from her own.She fasted'all the days of Lent, despite her age dnd the relaxation of fasting which were permitted, and openly mourned the good old days when none drank even a glass of water before twelve o\u2019clock for all the forty days, But she did not forbid her grandchildren the laxity that was lawful in these latter, less robust days.(To be Continued.) CHILDEENS CORNER.FRANK, BUCCANEER.Even \u2018 Uncle Pat,\u2019 who bas been on] the cattie-range for forty years, and who, his frieflas insist, knows more about a cow than any living man; said that \u2018he [never saw a calf like brank.Frank's first appearance was just after sunset one evening when he cr the hay vega, or field, and crawled under the barbred-wire fence in front of the ranch house.He stood surveying his surroundings with an air of interest, but with no apparent concern for his own safety.\u2018Lhen he walked to the bars of the corral in which were penned the milch cows and their calves, and some other cattle which were being made gentle.He stood looking through the bars with the same deliberate interest that he displayed when he looked at the house, \u2018I don\u2019t know what calf that can be; \u201cUncle Pat\u2019 said.\u201c\u2018 He does not belong to any of the cows out there, He surely is lost.He probably walked off and left his mother.He's entirely too independent for a calf not over a week ald.\u2019 But Frank's independence soon asserted itself more strongly.After he had satistied himself with his survey of the \u2018bunch\u2019 in the corral, he ealmly poked his little white head between the poles of the fence, and by dint of tauch wriggling and squirming managed to squeeze nis little red body through after it.The cows looked at him with suspicion; for he made his way among them with entirely too much assurance for a small stranger.Twice he went the rounds of the corral, and then stopped perplexed.woe \u2018 She\u2019s not here, old boy.So for you,\u201d called \u2018Uncle Pat\u2019 from whence the family was lined up looking through the fence at him.But Frank\u2019 look was unmistakable.It said :\u2014\u2018 Oh, you needn't bé adery for ne.\u2019 He turned and sized up the situation.A calf about his own age was taking its supper with much satisfaction, as shown by the vigorous waving of its white-tip- ped tail.Now supper was precisely what Frank was hunting, and he evidently decided that there was no need for losing more time.That white- tailed calf should share with him ! The mother was sleepily chewing her cud, and did not notice his approach.Bat at the first mouthful which the little thief took she turned and kicked him a resonnding whack on top of his little white head.Frank shook the little white head in question, and stood off, looking reproachfully at the ill-natured cow, But he was by no means discouraged.He coolly looked about for a more hope ful chance.From one cow to another he scampered, snatching a few mouthfuls before he was discovered and kicked, and then on to the next.The fol lowing morning, when the cows were tured out to pasture, Frank went with the calvkes into the calf-corral, and lay there all day sleeping in the shade without showing any signs of hunger.\u2018 He'll get along in this world,\u201d \u2018Uncle Pat\u2019 laughed; \u2018but he will keep the cows excited, so I shall make one tow take him.m.Thereupon.hz took a short ropa and tied Frank, neck to neck, to the white- tailed calf.In this way the white-tail- ed calf\u2019's mother could not kick Frank without hurting her own calf, especially outer side.Even a cow can see the .hereby required to take notice.ling with Jesus wan assured of life be- Advortisements.| LEADING SCHOOLS: AND COLLEGES.Headache Phone Sin 11, NN stem ade oe | Bfllou sour stomach, MI E \\ \u2019 mre es, M ISS.GRAHAM'S tions gusranteed 2204 8t.Catherine street, o University street.Street Cars 8Y0P Advertisements, OGILVIE BROS.Sanitary and Heating Engineers A0 BLEURY STRÈDBT.TELEPHONES\u2014Up 3401 East 161, FEDERAL ELEOTIONS, CITY OF MONTREAL, ST.LAWRENCE DIVISION.Public Notice Is hereby given that MR.ROBBRT BICKERDIKE, Candidate at this election, has appointed as hls agent MR.PAUL RAINVILLE, of the City of Montreal, Advocate, New York Life Building; -and that MR.CAMPBELL LANE, Can- WILLIAM J.street, and MR.FRANCIS JOSEPH HATOHETT, Advocate, § Concord street, both of Montreal, of which all persons are P.DAOUST, Returning Office.Montreal, Z7th October, 1904.PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.Friends willing to volunteer as helpers on Eleotion day, or who oan fend oarriages, are requested to communicate with Mr.BANNISTER, at Central Committee Room, No.2482 8t.Catherine Street Telephone Up 2195, and oblige.- HERBERT B.AMES, injustioe of punishing her own calf for another's fault, and White-tail\u2019s mother soon stopped.kicking altogether.: But the plan did not work well; for the simple reason that Frank decided that haif-rations were not enough for an enérgetic fellow like himself.So when he had finished his allotted share he would go foraging, dragging the white: tailed calf with him (an innocent and protesting party to the outrage), to shield him from the kicks of the enraged cows.Poor little White-tail elt justly abused.Not only must he give half of his meals to this impudent, baldfaced stranger, but he must be dragged around and kicked by every cow in the corral, It manifestly was so unjust that \u2018Uncle Pat\u2019 untied Frank and turned him loose upon his piratical career.Thus it came aboat that Frank grew fat and skek and high-spirited.hen he was pointed out to strangers as \u2018the always exclaimed: \u2018Why, he looks better than any of the other calves,\u2019 which always caused a laugh.One dark night, two years after Frank adopted himself, so to speak, \u2018Uncle Pat\u2019 was driving a trap-load of people home from the post-office, ten miles away.At a point in the road where a wire fence runs close to a steep bluff, leaving only a narrow passage oetween, the team snorted in fright and stopped suddenly.\u2018Uncle Pat\u2019 jumped out and ran ahea to see what the trouble was.Then his voice came out of the darkness: \u2018Get up and get out of the road, you impudent brute ! He came back laughing: \u2018Of course it\u2019s Frank.He must choose! the one spot in all the countey where he thought some one would have to give way to him.\u2014New York \u2018Tribune.\u2018 BIBLE TRUTH.FRIDAY, OCT.2.NOT DEATH, BUT LIFE, Does death end all?Certainly net, for what men call death is not ceasing to exist.A man\u2019s clothing is not the wan.A human body is the dwelling of the living personality which cannot be destroyed.The hfe beyond has been tke hope of humanity in all ages.\u2018\u2019Tis life, not death, for which we pant, ore life and fuller that I want.\u2019 Away from the home in the body, \u2018at home with the Lord\u2019 (II.Cor.v., 69.)

\u2018Daily News\u2019 over the quaint phrase in an advertisement, \u2018I took my wrong umbrella.\u2019 The \u2018News\u2019 itsell calls the expression \u2018an exquisite Irishism, the subtle beauty of which requires some pointing out.\u2019 One correspondent cites what he thinks a better specimen of twisted English in the story of the undergraduate who wrote, \u2018Mr.Jones presents his compliments to Mr.Brown, and finds he bas a hat which isn't mine, so if you have a hat which isn*t his, no doubt they are the ones.\u2019 Another finde the same unconscious expression of univers sal proprietorship in the words of a railway passenger who said, \u2018My train did not Etop at Crouch End.\" The latter suggestion, gt least, shows thought along the right lines, but it ia surely stretching the evidence to apply the theory to any articles but umbrellas or leadpenclls.A celebrated English jurist, we believe, once wrote for the diversion of his friends a weighty opin- lon on the law of umbrellas as it existed in the popular mind.There was no such thing as ownership of an umbrella, he held.A person might retain exclusive possession of one while using it, as during a rainstorm, but as soon as it passed out of hid hand it became a part of the world\u2019s stock of umbrellas and, as such, like a gällon of alr, was ready for the use of whoever needed it.Your watch cleaned from

DUF- FERIN SCHOOL DESCRIBED.This article is the second of a series of sketches of the schools of Montreal.The first dealt with, the McGill Nor- wal School, was published in the \u2018Wit ness\u2019 of Oct.19.Next week\u2019s article will deal with Ann Street School.In the assembly hall of Dufferin School, St.Urbain street, there are two brasses which commemorate the connection of the school with what is believed to be the oldest common school in Canada.One of the inscriptions reads: \u2018British and Canadian School, the oldest common school in Canada, corner of Coté and Lagauchetiere streets, founded 1822, placed under control of the Protestant Beard of | School Commisisoners, 1868, ransferred to this building and named Dufferin School, 1894.ne The other runs: \u2018In grateful memory of the late William Lunn, XKeq., whe died 1886, aged 89 years.He was one of the three pioneers who in 1822 founded the British and Canadian School Society, and he continued for more than sixty years a zealous worker in the cause of education in Montreal.\u2019 In the library of the Dufferin School there are preserved the records of the British and Canadian School.They date back to 1822.the year of its foundation, and at first glance they appear to be of the dry as dust order.The register of attendance is, however, impressive by the very monotony with which it repeats, year after\u2019 year, the statistics, \u2018present, absent, total,\u2019 that were recorded from def to day with a uniformity that must have latterly made the suggestion of departing from precedent almost an offence.Becasionally a note throws some light on the eircum- stances of school work.\u2018Confession day\u2019 explains the smallness of attendance and points to the fact, which ig known from other sources, that the pupils were drawn from both Protestant and Roman Catholic families.A daily chronicle of the weather is also embodied in the book, and in turning over the pages one is seldom rewarded hy such a lengthy entry as that under June 13, 1832: \u2018Owing to the consternation almost universally felt by the fact that cholera was carrying off appalling numbers, the school closed for a fortnight.\u2019 It was rarely that the broke through their book is not even signed by them, otherwise we should have had an interesting eet of autographs of Montreal educationists.At the end of one book, under date Nov.15, 1842, is the entry, \u2018Finit sub umbra gratia\u2019 Thea oldest attendance register Lears on the fly-leaf the date Oct.14; 1822, but the first day of which the attendance is recorded is Oct.28: \u2018Present, 75; absent, 13; total, 88\u2019 There is also a register of pupils\u2019 names.It appears to go back to the very first enrolment, aud would, if analyzed, throw some light op the conditions of life in Montreal half a century and more ago.One is not, however, altogether dependent on written reeords.Living testimony goes back to within eight years of the foundation of the school.It seems not to be generally known that Joseph teachers reserve, the Lancaster, who shares with Dr.Andrew lé Bell, the distinction of having originated .the monitorial system, was a teacher in the school.Lancaster was a remarkable man, but erratic, and usually had one grievance or another to console himself for his failures.He failed financially in England, and went to the United Statea in 1818.He had some success there for a time, but evil days came upon him.and it was in a period of depression that bie.visited Montreal, lectured on education, and taught in, if he did not actually conduct, the Coté Street School.A visitors\u2019 book of the girls\u2019 school enables us to assign his visit to 1820.He styled himself in that book \u2018Founder of the Royal Lancastrian System of Education,\u2019 and expressed \u2018my pleasure and satisfaction in visitting this useful and hopeful school\u2019 In another entry dated Dec.22, 1829, he says he was much gratified with the pupils and the industry of the teachers._The first teacher of the school was Thomas Hutchings, who had come out from England to Montreal in July, 1822, at the invitation of three ministers to teach a school they were about to start.They quarrelled, however, and the scheme of establishing a school fell through and the committee of three ministers was dissolved.At this crisis in Mr.Hutch- ingé\u2019s affairs happily the British and Canadian School Society and the school were both established, and Mr, Hutchings received the head mastership.He did not stay many years, for in November, 1826, he wrote fram Plymouth, England.e:king to be reinstated as head master.At first the classes were mixed, but shortly afterwards a mistress, Miss Webster, was appointed, and the girls were taught by themselves on the ground floor, while the NEWSBOYS\u2019' COUPON, SERIES No.2.Tweive coupoñs of this series, cut from the papers of any days of ibe carrent week, will when presented by

steamer, and a letter despatched from London by Mr.Miller, the agent of the society there, in September did not reach Mr.William Lunn in Montreal until the following April.Miss William's fare, paid strictly in advance, was £25.Coté street school was a two-story building with a loft, or attic, above, in which the winter firewood was stored.The building still stands, but it has been MR.WILLIAM LUNN, 1797\u20141886, n Pioneer of Education in Montreal.converted into spice milis.An old pupil, Mr.Robt.Irwin, enables us to peep into the schoolroom as it was more than seventy years ago.Joseph Lancaster's system was being faithfully carried out.Round each window was a class and in the centre of the semicircle an older Pupil who acted as monitor or teacher.The school was thus, in an educational sense, self-sustaining.When a boy had acquired a certain amount of information he communicated it to the younger ones and knowledge passed from one to another as news circulates in the eastern bazaars.Whatever else it was or was not, it was cheap, and probably on no other system could so much education have.been imparted in the circumstances of the time.The enterprise was at first purely voluntary and it is said that in the early years of the school the children collected contributions from door to dcor to support it.\u2018It is doubtful\u2019 says Dr.Robins, in a sketch of the school which appeared in 1881, and to which this article is indebted, \u2018if ever in the history of Montreal the public more heartily and universally concurred in a work of pure benevolence.The population of Montreal was but small and religiously.politically, and socially, was, as it aways has been, »iuch divided, hut the British and Canadian School was heartily sustained without distinction of parties or creeds.\u2019 Lord Dalhousie was its first patron and subscribed twenty pounds annnally to its funds while he was commander-in-chief, and among the other contributors were the Hon.L.J.DUFFERIN SCHOOL.Papineau and the reformers of that period.In 182% it obtaincd a grant of two hundred pounds from the legislature.Many men, French and .English,; who have since become prominent in the.commercial life of Montreal, were educated in the school, and it acted to some extent as a training school for teachers.À corporal in the British army was sent to receive a course of training in order that he might qualify to teach his comrades.; society resolved \u2018that the Indian school master in the Indian settlement.of the River St.Francis in this province be !Instructed to send his asesistant apd an Indian boy of good character fo the British and Canadian School-Society to receive further instruction in the.Eng- ! lish language and to be trained fo the | British system with u view to extending \"religious education among the Indian tribes in this country.\u201d A good many children were educated free, and the regular school fee was four sous, or twopence, payable each Monday morning.The routine of the classes was nceasgion- ally broken as when the loft above the school had to be filled with firewood.The task of carrying up the woad was mere to the taste of the boys than lessons, and the event was a sort of holiday as they formed up on the stairs and passed the logs from hand to nand, as buckets are passed on at a fire.But any day of the week they had slight diversions, running races round the Sunday market, on the site of which is now the Friars\u2019 school and snowball or other fights between the English boys and the French boys.not so much out of racial antagonisin as because they wanted to fight somebody and race made a convenient line of division.\u2018 When prize day came round the rewards were such as to gratify the hearts of parente, for useful things for the household were distributed, caps, handkerchiefs, cutlery or spoons perhaps; a doll for a little girl sometimes, but usually a practical spirit ruled the choice and little consideration was given to childish fancies.Neither the demand nor the supply of toys was so great as it is at present.The brass tablet, in the Dufferin school, mentions, but not by name, two rentlemen who were associated with Mr.William Lunn in establishing ihe British and Canadian School Society, \u2018for the education of the children of the laboring class of the people, and for ihe \u2018niprove- ment of their morals\u2019 Mr.K.Dowie and Mr.Daniel Fisher, it was who attended a meeting on Sept.21, 1822, for the purpose of establishing the society.Mr.Kenneth Dowie was appointed trea- rarer.Mr.William Lunn secretary, and Mr.Horatio Gates president.Mr.Michael Scott took a share in the establishment of the society and the Hon.L.J.Papineau accepted the post of vice-pre- sident.Another man who was one of the first governors, and who took great interest in the society as long as he lived, was Mr.John Frothingham, who was born in 1788 and died in 1870.Mr.Frothingham centributed largely to the support of the school and persuaded others to contribute, and he left a bequest for it which now amounts to nearly three thousand dollars.A portrait in the library and a eilver medal awarded evety year commemorate his benefactions.Very much of the success of the school, says a his- terica) sketch, written in 1888, was due to the high character, the personal self- sacririce and untiring energy of the ac On the fifth of April, 1824, the | tive memberg of the society who, in spite of difficulties almost inconceivable at the present day, built up and maintained a large and flourishing school until their work was superseded by the appointment of regular school commissioners for the city.And the chief burden of the work in connection with education in Montreal before the establish- went of the board and for some years afterward, fell on Mr.William Lunn\u2019s shoulders, or rather he took it himself on his shoulders and carried it cheerfully.His zeal for education was not a whit less than that of Joseph Lancaster and he had a better balanced mind.The Protestant Board of School Commissioners was created by an act of the Provincial Parliament in 1846.The members were all appointed by the government and the first board ronsisted of the Rev.Charles Bancroft, the Rev.Caleb Strong, the Rev.J.M.Cramp, Mr.William Lunn, Mr.Andrew Wilson, and Mr.John Dougall.Mr.William Lunn, who was appointed secretary- treasurer, formed the counecting link between the new order of things brought into existence by the creation of the beard and the old voluntary system.A member both of the society and of the board, he did not rest until after two years of negotiations the transfer of the Coté street school to the school commissions was completed in 1866.It had had an independent existence of forty-four years.But it retained the title of the British and Canadian School up to 1894 when the Dufferin school was opéned.The school at the time of its transfer had accommodation for four hundred children, It had been and continued to be one of the chief elementary schools and it was soon found to he too small for the number of applicants for admission.In 1865 Mr.H.Arnold, a very successful and able teacher, who had practically made the Panet Street School, known at this period usually as the Quebec .Suburbs School, was transferred to Coté \u2018street, and in 1873 the schcol was en- i larged, accommodation being provided fr two hundred additional children, or | | altogether for 650 pupils.This extension of Coté Street School was made possible by an augmentation of the revenue of the board.By an aæ of 1868 the City Council received the right to nominate three commissioners, the other, .three continuing to be nominees of the Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council The narrowness of its resources has always hampered the work of the board.Its !total income in 1847 was only $558.05, I eontributed by the City Council.In 11867 it received $838.40 from the government, and $1,921.50 from the ity | Coneil, a total of $2,759.90.Tt had dren fifteen teachers teaching 740 chil- dren.The augmented income in 1868 was $8,975.20, and the board set about paying its debts and enlarging its schoo) atcommodation.In addition to the British and Canadian School, there is incorporated in the Dufferin School the Dorchester Sghool, which was opened at 381 Dor chester street, in September, 1874, chiefly with the idea of accommodating French Protestants.There was no re striction as to the number of English | speaking children who were admitted, and it never took on a French charac er.The Dufferin School was completed in the spring of 1894 and formally opened in April of that year, by the Earl of Fille Piché, the Aberdeen.The school has accommodation for about nine hundred pupils.The | > ;tration, which had been free from .cost of the.land was $22,000, and of the building $54,775.The two schools which it superseded were at once closed and sold.lt has not been round possible to ob: tain a fuil list of teachers of the school and the periods of their service.Thome?Hutchings, Miss Webster and Misa Wil liams have been mentioned already.Mrs.Chapman is sppken of as enthusiastic and experience John Minshall probably followed Hutchings.At any rate, he was teaching in 1842.H.Arn old was a very successful teacher of the school.He joined it in 1865.Coming | to recent times, we find in the list of headmasters the names of several men who have distinguished themselves :\u2014 Dr.MeKercher, M.A., LL.D., now headmaster of the Senior School; Dr.R.S.Weir, Recorder of Montreal; the Hon.J.C.McCerkill, who succeeded Mr.Alexander Pearson; Mr.Elliott, a brilliant young man who was accidentally killed after he took to the practice of the law, ending a promising career, and Mr.E.T.Chambers, wno did some good werk as a geologist.The present headmaster of the Duffer- in School is Mr.H.J.Silver, B.A,, and the staff is as follows

GATHER IN ST.HENRI CITY HALL AND ST.BRIDGET'S HALL.Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke to large audiences in the St.Henri City Hali, and An St.Bridget\u2019s Hall, St.Mary's Division, last night.Long before 8 o'clock the streets in the vicinity of the St.Henri hall were impassable.lt was 8.15 o'clock when the Premier and a number of promin-nt Liberals gt the head of a large torchlight and Japanese lantern procession arrived.As they entered py a side door leading to the platform the front doors were opened and the crowd surged in.All the seats had been removed and the Jarge hall was quickly filled, every available space being soon occupied.When there was room for no more the meeting was called to order by the Hon.Joseph Lanctot, M.D.On the platform, besides the premier, were Senators J.P.B.Casgrain, William Mitchell and J.K.Kerr; Messrs.L.A.Rivet, the candidate for Hochelaga; Ca- candidate for St.Mary\u2019s; T.Coté, J.A.Drouin, Ald.Ethier, Robidoux and Lebreche, of Et.Henri; Mayor Fabien and several aldermen from Ste.Cunegonde; Mr.Letour- neau, president of the Liberal Club; Mr.Bazin, advocate; Dr.Seguin, \u2018Messrs, L.Trudel, F.St.Germain, D.Richard, of Cognac, France, and ex-Ald.Jacques.Dr.Lanctot congratulated the people of St.Henri on the splendid ovation they had tendered the Liberal leader.Such a spontaneous and enthusiastic demonstration was, he said, befitting the occasion of the visit of the \u2018distinguished chief of this great amd prosperous country.\u2019 The Hon.Senator Kerr, on being introduced, delivered a brief message in English.He came from the centre of Ontario, he said, to tell the good people of Montreal that Sir Wilfrid was beloved as much in Ontario as in his native province.Th senator believed and prophesied that the Ontario majority in the Opposition would be turned to a majority in support of the Liberal Government because it was so widely ue- knowledged that the country was better governed than it had ever been before.He urged the Quebec electors to roll vp as large a majority as possible, and in Ontario they would do all they could in the same direction.He had visited the large workshops of Montreal and heard the hum of the machinery and noted the satisfaction on the faces of the workmen as he had not seen it in former days.The Liberal Government was the government of the people for 1he people which resulted in the greatest good for the greatest number.Mr.Rivet, the candidate for Hoche- laga, being called on, spoke very briefly.He had redeemed one promise, at least, he said, by bringing the Premier to St.Henri to speak to the electors.It was the wish of all to hear Sir Wilfrid and he would only take time to thank the electors for their conidence and, in advance, for their support.Al must appreciate the wise government of the Literal party and the workingmen could not do Jess than stand by a government under which they had all the work they could do, were paid good wages and yet the burden of taxation had not been appreciably increased.; Sir Wilfrid spoke only twenty minutes and did not dwell on any of tire great political questions of the day.Deafening cheers greeted him as he
