\u2018The Farmer's Ingle\u2019 (which probably influenced Burns in his \u2018Cottar's Saturday Night\u2019): \u2018On Seeing a Butterfly in the Street\u2019: \u2018The Mutual Complaint of Plainstanes and Causey\u2019; \u2018The King's Birthday'; \u2018Brald Clalth.\u201d MEDICAL.HAIR FALLING OUT.\u2018Subscriber\u2019 is a girl, aged twenty-two.Has practically always been healthy.Since the age of sixteen her hair has been coming out nearly all the time, apd is now very thin.Sometimes the head is very itchy, and small red patches about the size of a five-cent piece form and disap- perr.The hair is fine, fair, and rather dry.It is coming out in handfuls, and only grows to the length of six inches.She has very little dandruff.She washes the head only once a month, or every three weeks.Is also troubled with cold bands and feet.The hands are usually red when cold.The hands and feet never peispire.Ans.\u2014It is .ikely that your scalp is affe:ted with some form of eczema, as you have noticed small, inflammatory roints or pimples.It is quite likely also that there is some dandruff there, although you may rot have noticed it.[I think it would be better to wash the head once weekly for a time at least.Use instead of soap some spirits.of green soap.You wil bave to get this at a druggist's.If you cannot get it, dissolve some pure castile soap In rectified spirits until you get a fluid of thlck syrupy consistence.Rub this well ipto the scalp, and then, after leaving it on five minutes, rub up into a laiber with hot water.Finally wash off with hot water, az hot as you can stand, and douche with cold.Dry the hair gently with a towel and finish in a warm room.Do not brald or tie up the hair tightly at any time.Do not brush too vigorously.Apply every morning the following 1lotion: Resorcin, three drachms;

Arthur Bedard, 78 Chatham street; George Bourbonais, 7la Delisle street.It is said those are voters in the St.Antoine division whom the accused intended to personate.They appeared before Judge Desnoyers this morning on the charge of conspiracy, and all pleaded not guilty.Mr.G.Desaulniers, K.C., acted as counsel.Mr.Charles Duclos, K.C., the prosecutor, did not want them admitted to bail.which brought on quite a verbal tilt with Mr.Desaulniers, in which the latter declared it as his opinion that, bad Mr.Duclos his own way, he would take mensures to prevent all the Liberals in St.Antoine division from going to the polls.They were finally admitted to bail, however, in the sum of $800 personal and two sureties of -400 each, and remanded for enquete on Tuesday.THER ARRESTS, Simultaneously with the above five was arraigned Captain Taschereau Beaudoin, 114 St.Louis street, on the charge, of cou- gpiracy with intent to personate in the Maisonneuve division.Mr.Charles Arf cher, K.C., appeared for him.He plead ed not guilty, and was admitted to $8 personal bail and two sureties of each.They were furnished by Mf.Alexandre Beauvin and Mr.Joseph I.marche, both contractors.| Shortly after 11 o\u2019clock Ernest Baril was arraigned on a similar charge, prq- ferred in the Maisonneuve division.M Perin, K.C ., acted as counsel.He pleaded not guilty, and gave bail for $8 and two sureties of $400 each, for bis af- pearance on Tuesday.; At about 11.25 Michael Campeau, R: chel street, was brought in by Detectife \u20ac tending to personate in the Maisonneufe division, and besides carrying a revolver without a permit.Mr.Archer, K.pleaded for him, and he pleaded guilty, furnishing a personal bond {of $800 and also two sureties of $400 each, signed by Roch Vallieres and Napolebn Monnest, for his appearance on Tugs- dav./ bean A WORD TO PIANO BUYERS.You can get as good or better pi at Lindsay's as fou can elsewhere, but owing to our strong financial positian we can give easier terms than any ope else in the trade, and we never ask promissory notes.1 and we will ek- plain, C.W.Lindsay, Limited, St.Catherine street, Montreal.A TO-NIGHT AT THE \"WITNESS\" OFFICE.Election Announcements LINE-LICAT PICTURES, ETC.Great Attractions.While You're Waiting YOU CAN AND DROP IN GET YOUR New Neokties, Shirts, Collars, Braces, Handkerchiefs, Underwear, 8ocks, Gloves, New Hats, Feit and Tweed, Overalls, Jackets, Aprons, Working Caps, Working Shirts, Working Cloves, Cardigan Jaokets, Sweaters, Etc.Cor.of Craig and Bleury and 2299 St.Catherine St.Electrotyping Plant FOR SALE.A chanos to seoure valuable Machinery at a great bargain.Address \u2014 \u2018\u2018 ELECTROTYPER,\u201d P.0.B.2234, Montreal.\u201cSome spirited language was exchanged between the counsel for the defendants and the prosecution, and Mr.Archer, K.C., said he felt certain that the arrests made were simply for the purpose of preventing the accused from doing honest, square and able work for the Liberal party.Mr.Charles Duclos, K.C., agent for Ald.H.B.Ames.said: \u2018We were able to obtain the evidence of which led to these arrests by Mr.Ames\u2019s thorough organization.About two weeks ago we found that we were up against the machine, and set ourselves to watch it.We goon found that men were being hired nd were being instructed in the part that they were to play.They did their work in a room at 29 St.Charles Bor- Fore street.This was another crowd operating only in \u201cthe swamp,\u201d and the evidence we have, I think, is very conclusive.If these men who were arrested are willing to turn King's evidence and tell who the men were who were behind them, their punishment would probalby be less\u2014in case they are found guilty.The pertinent question is: Where did the $800 found on Bissonnette come from?Here is a poor fellbw found in a barroom on the eve of a general election, with others, with his pockets full of money.We believe that there is also an English gang operating to-day in the upper part of the division.These men are known and our organization is after them.Other arrests may follow.\u2019 er DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL.An inquest was held yesterday over the body of Edouard Poirier, who died at the Notre Dame Hospital on Monday as a result of injuries sustained by falling into the hold of the steamship \u2018New Glasgow\u2019 on Friday last.The evidence showed that Poirier\u2019s fall was purely accidental, and the jury returned a verdict to that effect.prea METHODIST PULPIT CHANGES.Kingston, Ont, Nov.3.y-The Rev.J.Cooper Antliff, D.D., of Queen Sireet Methodist Church, bas accepted an invitation to assume the padlorate of the Galt Methodist Church after the Conference in 1905.The Rev.E.E, Scott, of Galt, will go to Montreal.alfa.ADULTERATED COFFEE.Ottawa, Nov.3.\u2014Out of seventy-five samples of ground coffee collected and analyzed by the Inland Revenue Department.forty-five were found genuine, nineteen adulterated, eight doubtful and three in which the presence of chicory was declared on the packages.The adulteration for the most part consisted in the mixture of chicory, sometimes up to twenty percent.OO ee.Taorspary, NovEMrer 3, 10;

man.He was a bright youth, and Joseph Davis, ibe brother of Jefferson Davi\u2019, owned him.Mr.Davis, attracted by .he boy's sprightliness and good qualities, bad him educated, and he was a famous pet on the plantation.He was always respectful, grateful and obedrent as a bonds man.He was faithful to the persons and interests of the Davis family, during the far and after it.He was permitted to purchase the old plantation, and nobody objected.He has the es teem of all Mississippians, and is now worth about three hundred thousand dol- Jars.He is a type of many good oldtime negroes, and all white people wish bim bin well., After the war, we are told, he tried to educate one of his sons, and even sent him to Europe to study medicine and become a doctor, but the project failed.The free son was not the equal of his once slave father.Isaiah Montgomery is respected in Mississippi, and deserves to be.He is a rare charac- acter, and the coming generation of his race might learn valuable lessons from his virtues, his patience and good sense.mme\" THE KAISER'S COOKS.(From \u2018Stray Stories.\u2019) Feeding the German Emperor is no light task.Despite all that is sud about the Kaiser's Spartan habits, there are few monarchs who keep more elab- erate tables.He has no fewer than four chefs\u2014Schliedenstucker, a (German; arding, an Englishman; an Italian and 8 Frenchman\u2014so that he can have his meals for the day served in the style of whatever nation he may happen to fancy.Each of these chefs has kis staff of assistants, while, in addition, there is an individual who may safely be described as \u2018sausage maker to the Kaiser.\u2019 His Majesty is very fond of the huge white frankturter sausage, and has a supply of them made fresh every day fn his own kitchen.When engaged in manoeuvring his army on a big field day thege frankfurters and bread, washed down with lager beer, invariably form the Kaiser's luncheon.ln addition to all these cooks, there is a special staff to prepare meals for the younger of the princes and the princess, who are not allowed to partake of the rich dishes the elder members of the family indulge bm, / FOTHERINGHAY.Visitors to the historic church of Fotheringhay (writes a correspondent) now find it in a sad condition :\u2014 \u2018Some time ago its restoration was begun, but the work has recently stopped through want of funds, and, on entering the great building, one finds a scene of complete desolation, the monuments erected by Queen Elizabeth over the tembs of her Plantagenet ancestors boarded up, the noble windows on one! side without glass, and the aisie open to wind and rain.Fotheringhay Church was begun in 1415, and was finished by Richard of York, father of Edward IV ., who is buried there.It has had an unfortunate history.The choir and the chapel built by Edward IV.fell into ruin at the Reformation, and in the eighteenth century the nave, which is all that remains, was shockingly neglected.Its splendid old stained windows were wantonly broken up.The historic site on the banks of the Ness, with its mounds that alone witness to the.former existence of the glorious castle\u2014the scene of the

insinuated in suggestive black letters, that the \u2018Witness\u2019 had provided a railway \u2018pass\u2019 for the transportation of a voter from Toronto to Montreal.The facts, as stated by the \u2018Star,\u2019 of which we know nothing, centradict the pregnant innuendo com- tained in the word \u2018pass.\u2019 The publish- vrs of the \u2018Witness\u2019 do not ask for passes or authorize any of their people to do co.If it takes tickets against an advertising account it pays for them in full, and does not waste them.We have only to say that if any one has been attempting to get the \u2018Witness\u2019 to pay for, or assume the responsibility of, the transportation of a voter he will find himself mistaken.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 We should think that one result of the Baltic fleet incident would be the establishment of Marconi connection with every fishing fleet in the North Sea.There is always a hospital ship in attendance belonging to the deep tea mission which might well be charged with this duty.The fishermen might well pay something for the privilege of being in possible connection with their folk, if it were only to have their weather conditions regularly made known on shore.We heard speak to-day of a \u2018tragic fishing village\u2019 in England which almost every werk seemed to mourn one dead.This was not on thé North Sea coast, but anywhere it would surely be a relief to anxious wives to know by the absence of news that nothing tragic has happened.Apart from this, however, it would surely be of considerable advan: tage to the government, in the matter of weather observations and in other ways, to have such outpost service regularly maintained.This might be so done as to be a considerable help to the worthy Deep Sea Misaion.PO If the men arrested last night on a charge of conspiracy are found guilty, no pains must be spared to bring those THE MONTREAL \u2018DAILY WITNESS.who employed them to justice also.There are, unfortunately, in Montreal men who will commit frauds of all sorts in comnection with elections, if they are only paid for it, as was proved in the St.James division -only a short time ago.The remark has been expressed, over and over again, that, although the horse is the noblest animal, association with him has produced a desperate lot of blackguards; and it is also the case that the right of voting, the highest mundane right that we possess, is sur- vounded with the Worst forms of black-| guardism.Some of the noblest of men have been the friends and associates of horses, as well as the gipsy, the tout, the welsher, and the bookmaker, and it is still true, fortunately, that the majority of men regard the getting of good government for their country as part of their religion.On the other hand, there are the ballot stuffers, the imper- sonatora the telegraphers, the bribed and the bribers of all descriptions, that exist like a foul sore or a loathsome parasite on the body politic.It is a disease, however, for which there is happily a wemedy, and the public conscience now insists that that remedy shall be applied.: lft THE \u2018GAZETTE\u2019 AND NONSENSE.The \u2018Gazette\u2019 disputes our assertion\u2019 that \u2018the preference given to Great \u2018 Britain was the starting point of our \u2018present wonderful prosperity, and quotes figures to .show that we are sending Great Britäih just about the same proportion of our whole agricul tural exports as we did eight years ago.That is true.Great Britain took eighty- five and a half percent of the whole then, and takes eighty-five and a half percent now.But, whereas she took forty millions then she takes ninety- five millions now.Surely that is \u2018the practical thing.As she is almost our sole customer, the important thing with us is the amount she can take from us, and the amount is two and three- eighth times what it was in 1896.The use of these percentages by the \u2018Gaz ette\u2019 is like the quotations made by the protectionists of Great Britain to prove the decay of the trade of that country.For instance, they will say, \u2018See how Great Britain's trade is falling behind, since it only increased, say, five percent in a certain period, while Ges: many\u2019s trade increased, say, for the same period, ten percent.They neglect to say, however, that, whereas Germany's oversea trade is of recent growth and comparatively \u2018small, Englands \u201ctrade bas been commanding for seveÿal centuries.Double a cent and you have made a hundred percent, add ten dollars to a hundred dollars and you have only got a ten percent addition.Used in such a fashion, therefore, and that is also the \u2018Gazette\u2019s\u2019 fashion, such percentage figures tell a very partial, story and are most misleading.The fair thing to do is to give the figures as we gave them yesterday.These we now repeat a little- more in detail.On page 3 of the Canadian Trade and Navigation Blue Book, our total exports are given as $121,013852, for the fiscal year 1896, the year the Laurier government came into power.For the fiscal year, 1903, we find that our exports had increased to $225,849,724, a gain of $104, 835,872, or 86 percent odd.-On page 4 of the same Blue Book we\u2019 find that during the fiscal year, 1896, Canada exported to Great Britain goods to the value of $99,670,030, and that this had increased to .$190,099,222 for the fiscal year, 1903, which 4s an increase of $90, 429,193, or 91 percent.Our total trade, therefore, increased $104,835,872, ands of this increase $90,429,192, or over 86 percent was with Great Britain.\u2018Lhe percentage of Canadian agricultural products exported to the United States in 1896 was 12.85 percent of the whole.This had decreased to 7.46 percent last year, so that that country at least does not show an equal percentage of increase.It goes without saying that if our commerce continues to expand at the same rate as it bas been doing during the past few years a time must come when Great Britain will not be able to keep up the enormous percentage of over 86 percent of all our exports, al though she may actually take many more goods and pay us much more than she does now.We agree with the \u2018Gazette\u2019s\u2019 remark .that \u2018There js an \u2018awful lot of nonsense talked about th \u2018 British preference.\u2019 : ttle THE TARIFF.There can be no gencral revision of the tariff at the first session of the new parliament, because there is not sufficient time now remaining for the commission of enquiry that must precede such revision.In his last budget speech, the Minister of Finance said he hoped that the revision might be accomplished at the next session, but, it is evident, on account of the general elections this fall, and the promise of the government to call the Houees together as early as poe sible in 1905, thet it will be impossible for Mr.Fielding and his fellow commissioners to visit the various provinces Tavesnay, NovEmser 3, 190; ee Weekly Calendar, Championship Football.OTTAWA COLLEGE vs.WESTMOUNT \u2018and satisfy themselves concerning the actual state of the various industries that call so loudly for Ligher customs protection.he delay will be a disappointment to the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 \u2018Association and the ultra protectionist element of the Dominion, who assume that any revisions would be in their direction, but there will be general satisfaction among the consuming classes, especially throughout the west, who are \u2018afraid of any change, seeing that recent changes have been concessions to special interests.The prospect of further reductions in the scale of customs taxation cannot be said to be very bright, and it is fair to say that the agricul turists, miners, darying interests, fishermen, lumbermen, and consuming interests at large can blame themselves 1f they allow the call for tariff increases to go without reply.Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues have reiterated in the campaign just closed that all classes of our population must.be treated with equal consideration in the framing of our customs tariff, and that it cannot be drawn up for the beue- fit of one class alone.All elements of our population are clearly entitled to consideration, but to this end it is ne cessary for every class to make its legitimate influence felt.The largest element, the agricultural, has never exercised its real power in a matter that so much affects its interests.of this is that the agricultural population of Canada is not organized as the manufacturing necessarily is, and has no equal means of exciting itself over its own interests, while the manufacturers have a clear, unanimous purpose which they have spared no pains to achieve.That the scale of customs duties has not been raised long ago, in response to the persistent dunning of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association, is evidence that the Prime Minister and his Finance Minister realize that there is a strong undertone in an opposite direction.There has not been a year since 1897 that the Thigh protectionists of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association have not made unavailing appeals to Ottawa for a higher tariff all along the line.If the agriculturists, miners, fishermen, dairy farmers, lumbermen, and consuming interests generally, find the existing customs duties high enough, or, if they want further reductions in the burden of protection as distinguished from revenue taxation, let them make their voice heard at Oftawa.Those who do not wish their money taken to boost other men\u2019s businesses, could, if they could only make themselves heard, neutralize the efforts of the privileged class.\u201c Let their views be presented to the Finance Minister and his associates in tones that cannot be mistaken, so that the government will have no doubt as to the rzal desire of the electorate.present Cabinet is made up of men elected to support a low tariff principle.but so insidious and so insistent is the campaign for ultra protection that the people at large will have themselves to blame, at least to some extent, if they do not see to it that their\u2019 convictions are emphatically stated before the commission when the opportunity ofl2rs.Of course, if a majority of the constituencies were to vote Conservative to-day, a low tariff voter's opinions will get no hearing.Up will go the tariff, \u2018right away \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE GERMAN WAR IN SOUTIL WEST AFRICA.A gentleman lately arrived in England from the German Protectorate in South-west Africa, where he bas resided for some time, gives a rather discouraging picture of the condition of things there so far as German authority is concerned.The German forces have thus far made no real headway in subduing the webellions Hereros.Now several powerful tribes occupying the hinterland of the Protectorate have also risen in rebellion against German rule.These tribes are a warlike race of the Zulu family and are well supplied with modern rifles and ammunition, which they have bought from German and Portuguese traders.He says that in the war with the Hereros the (Germans have already lost nearly all their officers who were acquainted with the country, and have to depend on native guides, who are often in sympathy with the rebels.*Colonial officers on the spot long since asserted the necessity of a vigorous policy with the natives, who have become more insolent and arrogant every year, put the poverty of the country and the desire for economy at Berlin has pre- wented anything like a suitable administration.\u2019 ! \u2018This is not a general anti-foreign movement, for the British are held in | high esteem and vespect, this favor- | able opinion being largely based on the reports of natives who have gone into : British possessions.\u201d He says that there are probably three hundred English peo- \\ ple in.German South-west Africa, chiefly in the south, and that the rebellious chiefs have given orders that the English are not to be molested.The coupon on the back page may lp Jo newsboy to start a bank ac- (fount, __.__ \\ 3 The reason P ATTEMPTED SUICIDES.HERMANN KROLL SHOOTS HIMSELF WHILE FREDERICK ROOHELEDGE USES A RAZOR.After following Augustine Miller, a young German girl, to this country from Germany, Hermann Kroll, discouraged because she refused to marry him, attempted to shoot himself at his boarding house, 57 Papineau avenue, last night.The bullet entered his left side near his heart and passed almost through his body.The physicians at the Notre Dame Hospital, to which institution he was removed, entertain but slight hopes for /his recovery.Augustine Miller, who is a pretty German girl, twenty-five years of age, arrived 1n Montreal from her native land about four weeks ago.She went to board with Mrs, Shelling, at 57 Papineau avenue.Kroll had been in love withthe young woman in Germany, and when she left for this country he decided to follow her.He arrived in the city on Saturday and succeeded in finding out her address, He went immediately to Mrs.Shelling's and rented a room in her house.Here he met Miss Miller frequently, and during the past five days has asked her repeatedly to become his wife, but did not succeed in gaining her consent.Last night he met the girl and made a final appeal to her.Meeting with another refusal, he produced an old-fash- ioned revolver of German make and, pointing it at his own body, fired.The ambulance was summoned gnd Kroll was removed to the Notre Dame Hos- ital.The physicians succeeded in finding the bullet, which was lodged in his back, but his condition is considered to be very critical.ANOTHER CASE, Frederick Rooheledge, 35 years of age.of 5391, St.Urbain street, attempted to put an end to his existence by cutting his throat with a razor at his home last night.He was found lying in a pool of blood by some of the members of his family and was removed at once in the ambulance to the General Hospital.On examination it was found that he had inflicted two deep gashes one on each side of the windpipe.The doctors at the hospital expect that he will recover.Rooheledge has a wife and family living at 5394 St.Urbain street.His relatives are unable to understand he should wish to end his life.a] A VISITOR FROM SOUTH AFRICA.Mr.Arthur Fitzgerald, civil engineer, of Johannesburg, who was in the city yesterday, and who left in the afternoon for Chicago, talking at the C.I.R.about the situation in South Africa, said that if care was not taken the war with the Boers would have been fought in vain.That is to say, Mr.Fitzgerald feels strongly that with the preponderance oi blacks, and the introdus- sion of Chinese labor, there is a possibility of the country becoming a country of color.\u201d England fought not merely for British supremacy, but for a South Africa which would become the home of her surplus populations.So far, what is seen is that the blacks grow and multiply, while the whites are at a standstill.The mine ownsws, desirous of fat profits, do not want white labor; they want the cheapest labor in the east; and this, in time, may change the whole ethmical complexion of South Ai- Tica.why em HIGHBINDERS IN NEW YORK.PROMINENT MEMBER OF THE REFORM LEAGUE SHOT DOWN THIS MORNING.New York, Nov, 3\u2014A shooting affray with many features resembling the high- binder outrages of the San Francisco Chinese \u201cquarter, which occurred in Chinatown early to-day, may result in the death of Mock Duck, one of the most prominent members of the reform element in the local Chinese colony.Mock was waylaid as he was pasisng through Pell street, and ome of two bullets fired at him lodged in his abdomen, making an extremely dangerous wound.When his alleged assailant, who was captured as he was running down Pell street, was being taken to the patrol box by a policeman, the couple were surrounded by three other Chinamen with drawn revolvers, demanding the release of the prisoner.The situation was becoming serious when a dozen police reserves arrived, and found the policeman and his prisoner backed up in a doorway.the officer holding back the three armed Chinamen.The would-be rescuers fled when the reinforcements arrived.Near the scene of the shooting the police found a revolver with a twelve-inch barrel and a hunting knife with a blade eight inches Jong.The man under arrest is Lee Sing, a laundryman.Mock was tried for the murder of a fellow Chinaman about two years ago, but was acquitted.Immediately after his release from prison .he became active in the Chinese quarter in co-operation with the Parkhurst Society.By his work Mock has gained the enmity of many of his fellow countrymen, against whom the work of the society was (grected, and he had frequently been threatened with death.\u2014 ROYAL ARCANUM.There was a record attendance of officers, members and visitors at the \u2018identification\u2019 meeting of Prince Albert Coun- eil, 1293, R.A.held last evening in their council room, Inglis building.There were nine past regents present, besides a large number of old

series with College, When they expect to corral all the glory to be pad from the jarring of a championship cup.: Amherst men are wondering what became of the ball used in the game in which their team defeated Harvard last year.It Is a time-honored custom for the winner to take the ball as a trophy, and it now seems that Amherst did not get the ball after last year\u2019s game.There was a rumpus on Franklin Field several years ago following tbe close of a game In which Harvard had just beaten Pennsylvania.Overfleld, of Pennsylvania, started to rush away with the ball, and there was a mix- up before it was turned over to the Crimson.Disappearing balls have followed other games.A Harvard man tried it on Pennsylvania in 1896 and got away with the ball, which was later turned over to Pennsylvania.In 1891, when Harvard beat Yale, the feat of the vanishing ball was performed, but was returned to Harvard some time afterward.Another case reported bad to do with Pennsylvania's defeat of Princeton in 1892.The ball, it is said, was cut up and Pennsylvania never got it.The Harvard-Pennsylvania game is creating more disagreeable aftermath than any big contest in a long while.Charges of deliberately rough and foul playing are followed by counter charges.Green, the Pennsylvania half-back, says he never was in a rougher game and that Lamson of the same team was put out of the game when it was really the fault of the Harvard players.back aimed a vicious, deliberate swinging blow at a Pennsylvanian when about to be tackled, and that the former was sent to the side lines.\u2018Bad feeling,\u2019 and \u2018kneeing\u2019 are other things which, it is said attended the game.favoritism at Harvard in the selection of the men.\u2018There may have been errors of judgment in picking the men for the Harvard team this year, says John Mc- Namara, the Boston expert, \u2018but it is simply baby talk to try to resurrect the cry of favoritism.\u201d Mr, Cochrane, who has been coaching the ends at Harvard, was a high class end in his day, and besides being in a position to command respect as to his judgment lis doubtless too loyal to play favorites.Mistakes of the head he may have made, but he played on a winning team at Harvard, and on the same team with Bill Reid, who was the best football coach Harvard wver had.Why all these tears over defeat anyway?Harvard was beaten by a good team, and, moreover, one defeat does not wreck a season.THE WHEEL.\u2014 The Montreal Bicycle Club will open the season with an entertainment, to be heid on Wednesday, Nov.9, in the gymnasium, Mansfleld street.The prizes, of which there will be nine or ten, have been chosen, and are very fine.They wll] be on view at ence.The committee has arranged for the annual series of weekly competitions, which will be heid on Wednesday evenings, beginning Nov.16.The prizes will be more attractive than in former years.CRICKET.Representatives from the cricket clubs of New York, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Paterson and other places attended the semiannual meeting of the Metropolitan District Cricket League, which was held on Tuesday at the Cosmopolitan Hotel.The report of the executive showed that the championship schedule was completed as arranged, with two exceptions, Manhattan baving forfeited a game to Paterson and Paterson having forfeited a game to Columbia Oval.The offending clubs were each fined $5.One hundred and forty players competed in the championship contests, and of these C.P.Hurditch, of the Livingston Club, came first in batting, with an average of 53.50 for twelve innings, and F.F.Kelly came first in bowling, with an average of 5.93 for 61 wickets.Both the winners established league records.J.L.Poyer, of the Brookiyn Club, won the fielders\u2019 prize with Il catches, and Syd- ney Dean, of Columbia Oval, won the wicket keepers\u2019 prize with seven men stumped.It was agreed to get up a suitable entertainment at which these prizes would be presented, and Jerome Flannery, J.Rodgers and C.P.Hurditch were appointed a committee to make all arrangements for this.The financial statement of the league was also a satistactory report, for it showed that while the treasurer started the season with a deficit he wound up with a substantial balance in band.He also announced that he had heard unofficially of two clubs which desired to join the league, so that it is confidently expected that next season the membership will amount to ten clubs.mme ANNUAL MEETING.STREET RAILWAY DIRECTORS REPORT ON COMPANY'S PROGRESS.The annual meeting of the Montreal Street Railway Company was held.yesterday under the chairmanship of the president, the Hon.L.J.Forget.The meeting was a very short one.The elec tion of directors resulted in the appointment of the old board, as follows: The Hon.L.J.Forget, Messrs.K.W.Blackwell, W.G.Ross, Lieut.-Col.F.C.Henshaw and Sir H.Montagu Allan.The annual report, already published, was passed without much comment, the general opinion being that it was ex: cellent, considering the great amount of money which had been expended during the year, and also the handicap of great quantities of snow with which the com- puny had to contend last winter.Ex-Mafor Cochrane made a few observations regarding the existing ar rangements for snow removal.The snow removal had last winter cost the Montreal Street Railway nearly $80,000, and had cost the city as much more.In Mr.Cochrane's opinion half this money was actually wasted.The work should not cost much more than $80, 000 all told.It was the old story of two workmen and two foremen, the latter looking on while the former worked, and all four getting well paid for it.The Montreal Street Railway, with its up-to-date manner of doing business and its facilities, could do the work, he thought, both better and cheaper.In reply, the president stated that they were all well aware that the com- panv had a contract with the city, and until the aldermen saw fit to make other arrangements the company was bound to proceed as it had in former years.He would not say that the work could he done for?50 percent of the present cost, but he was aware that there was a great waste, and that the work after all was not catisfactorily done.Mr.W.G.Ross, managing director of the company, stated that during the past season they had relaid 16 percent Loi their total

there was buying and selling; and the vital wnngs oi life took litiie heed of an occasion which should be regarded as momentous.i \u2018 The rain commenced to fall before the polls were open this wormug, and tiis bad a distinctly discouraging ctfect.Lue polis visited over a wide area of the city presented a desolate appearance.The policeman walked up and down in front, the special constable, in civilian clothes, with a badge on his breast, gazed at the readiness to record their votes in favor of their respective candidates.Throughout the day both Mr.Robert Bickerdike, the Liberal candidate, and Mr.Campbell Lane, the Conservative nominee, paid visits to the numerous polling booths, and in a general way superintended the order of things.2.The contest in St.Lawrence division is being carried on with the best order and in a manner to reflect credit on both parties, At 2.30 o'clock this afternoon reports were received at the central committee rooms of both parties that not one incident had occurred in the division in violation of the Election Act, a feature muçh appreciated by the gentlemen interested.The vote being registered is considered a fairly large one, and it is expected will exceed that polled in 1900.Those who are in clese touch with the true state of affairs in St.Lawrence do not hesitate to declare that Mr.Bicker- dike will be returned by an increased majority, while others, nov so sanguine on this point, believe that the fight will be much more evenly contested than anticipated by the supporters of the government, leaden sky.At the same time there was a look ci intense anxiety Jn the eyes of the professional politicians.These had their lists out; they checked off each name as though Smith were a man who represented millions; they | shouted to \u2018 Paddy,\u2019 the driver, to takes; Brown to his voting poll.The rain was of great benefit to the \u2018cabbies.\u2019 All the public liveries were soon exhausted, and urgent messages; were sent to friends to come out with what they bad got in the way of vehicular accommodation.Accordingly, in tront of the committee rooms all over the city night be seen as heterogeneous a collection of carriages, cabs, dog-carts, phaetons, etc, | as could well be imagined.The private carriage, spick and span, disdained the company of the two-wheeld cart, which looked as if it came out of the ark, while the coachman.in livery, carved in stone, sat immovable and contemptuous.This was a noticeable feature\u2014 that early this morning, business men, especially in the St.Antoine and St.Lawrence divisions, came down, in considerable nunrbers, either in their own carriages cr hired cabs, and deposited their ballots.The rain ceased and the sun came out, and the interest grew apace.There was! a hum at the headquarters of the res- | pective candidates; there were excited: oups at the committee rooms; while e polls appeared to be fairly busy.The polls, by the way, seemed to be held everywhere and anywhere.Sometimes it was a little room upstairs, near e roof, where one saw the domesti- cities in embarras-ing closeness; again, it would be a little wooden pill box at the corner of a street, as the one at the corner oi Bleury and St.Catherine; in other instances, it was the half section of a small house in the residential neighborhood.One would think that so solemn au act as the exercise of the franchise would be attended with as much outward dignity as possible, to give the sense of moment and seriousness to the mind.The agents of the candidates were extraordinarily watchful, and every detail of the legal information which the voter has to supply, was insisted on.Jt was at the headquarters and committee rooms of the candidates, however, that the interest centrec.Here both Political and human nature were well exemplified.If one were in a reflective wood he might have asked himself why s many men, well dressed, mostly young, although the grey beard was not absent, were absorbed in the study of rinted lists; why they chewed nervous y at the ends of their cigars; why they rushed in and out, to give directions to the cabbies; why they were so insistent in sending a carriage for that old man.seventy years of age, at the extreme limit of the district; why they were so extraordinarily attentive to the enquirer, who might not, after all, be a voter.\u2018We are winning.\u201d said the officials of Ald.Ames\u2019s committee rooms at eleven o'clock, \u2018We are getting our majority.\u2019 aid the friends of Sir.Lyall, with equal confidence.\u2018Our man is elected by a handsome ma- Jority,\u201d said the friends of Mr.Lane.\u2018The Laurier candidate will win,\u201d said Mr.Bickerdike\u2019s supporters.One noticeable feature was the absence of all coercion on the part of employers, as far as could be learned, and inquiries were made at such places as the rolling mills.cotton fuctories the Grand Trunk and the C.P.R.One employer was written to, indeed, by the agent of one of the candidates, asking that he should use his influence with a certain employee who was working for the opponent of the man whom the writer was supporting.This letter was thrown contemptuously nto the waste paper basket.In times past it is undoubted that coercion was used, but with more enlightenment and a better understanding of the meaning of demncracy, the practice Las been discontinued.Of course, the saloons were closed.hut certain sprightly tokens here and there indicated that perhaps they were not too tightly closed.Mention might be made of the fact that automobiles were employed, in the urgent case, to bring in the indifferent or recalcitrant voter.The interest\u2014the painful interest\u2014 which \u2018cabhy\u2019 took in the \u2018salvation of the country,\u2019 was perhaps worth, in human nature, all the other features of the voting\u2014a process which was performed without the sense of humor which would attend a municipal contest, and at the same time without much outward sign of the profound gravity of the occasion.ST.LAWRENCE DIVISION.In St.Lawrence division, which comprises St, Louis and St.Lawrence wards, the fight is being carried on with considerable enthusiasm.As early as cight o'clock this morning the friends of both candidates were at the different committee rooms, de-irous of participating in the struggle oi the day.; When the volls were opened at nine ST.ANN\u2019S DIVISION.The organization in St.Ann\u2019s Division seems to have been brought to u perfect point by both the opposing parties, and quiet determined work is being carried out.A plentiful supply of carriages were at the disposal of cach candidate, the use of which the \u2018free and independent\u2019 voter did not hesitate to avail himself of.By 11 a.m., thirty-three percent of the voters had attended the polls, and at mid-day the whole of the polling stations were kept busy, and the administration of the oath in doubtful cases seriously delayed proceedings.In some cases voters left the room feeling that their business was even more important than the recording of a vote.The only lively proceedings in the division so far occurred at station No.16, St.Francois Xavier street.On the arrival of Ald.Gallery with a strong body of his supporters they were met ty an equally enthusiastic company oi the friends of Mr.Morrison.Verbal altercation soon developed to a strong point and only the prompt arrival of the police put an end to an unseemly, and what promised to be a serious squabble.Voters were coming in quietly at Point St.Charles no pressure is expected there at any time of the day as the Grand Trunk nen and others employed in the district may leave their work as they feel inclined for the purpose of recording their vote.It is stated at Mr.Morrison\u2019s cen- trul committee rooms that three per- sonations have taken place without the culprits being discovered.The votes recorded were for the Hon.I.C.Cas- grain, who is in Quebec; R.Gould, an innate of an asylum, and R.G.Reed, who is in Newfoundland.ST.JAMES DIVISION.All was very quiet and calm in St.James division during the whole morn- inc.À visit to the central committee rooms of both candidates shortly before noon revealed the fact that the election was being held, so far, in the most orderly manner.There was no fuss or excitement, and the few dozen people present in both places looked more like men awaiting the opening of an ordinary business meeting than like busy election canvassers trying to secure votes for their candidate.No telegraphs or trouble of any kind were reported, and it was expected that the day would continue and end as it had commenced.Several of the polls were also visited, and it was found that the average number of votes cast during the forenoon was about twenty per hour, which was considered very satisfactory.: A rush of voters, among the working classes, was expected between 12 and I.and it was also expected that during the early part of the afternoon the average votes given would be larger than in the forenoon.The friends of Mr.Cardinal, Conservative candidate, were confident that his illness would not hurt his chances of success, but that, on the contrary, it would induce his supporters to work still more strenuously to have hm elected.ST.MARY'S DIVISION.The two candidates, Mr.Piché, and Mr.Marechal, were both early at their cominittee rooms this morning, giving directions to their respective agents and canvassers, and encouraging their supporters.It was generally conceded that St.Mary's was one of the most doubtful constituencies in the city, both candidates being very popular, and the expectation is that the majority, on either side, will be very small.Under those circumstances it was quite natural that both candidates and their friends should leave no stone unturned, with a view to secure victory, and this explains the great activity that prevailed in the division throughout the whole day.in the most orderly manner.and while the voting was active, no attempts at telegraphing were reported.HOCHELAGA DIVISION.In the St.Henry and Westmount districts of the Ilochelaga division polling i! at many of the stations began briskly at | nine o'clock, and in some cases quite a number had voted in the first half nour.After that there was, however, a goou deal of slackness antil after animation was visible supplied with carriages.In the commit | nard would of the liberals that Mr.L.A.A.Ri?vet would win with an increased ma | jority.Both candidates w:nt the round | of the committee royms in the course of |?the forencon, to encourage their Supe | © porters.In both districts perfect or- | der and quietness prevailed, as is, indeed, the ordinary state of things on polling day At one of Dr.Bernards committee rooms complaint was made that a Railway at Point St.Charles, who had o'clock hundreds of electors were in i promised to vote for Lr.Bernard, had is termed the soft roaster.;

London, Nov.3.\u2014The \u2018St.James's Gazette,\u2019 regarding Imperial affairs, says gi what is wrong with this country is the indiffvrence in the interests and opinions of Britons over the sea.To-day the Canadian elections are gomg forward, but it is a regrettable taet that the average citizen of England is less interested in the result than he will be in the result of the presidential elections in the United States.London, Nov.3.\u2014The \u2018Pall Mall Gazette,\u201d referring to the Hon.John Morley\u2019s suggestion that Canada kvep free of British militarism, and Mr.Foster's reply, says radical leaders should really for prudence sake, make up their minds not to mention the colonies again until they have got a better touch of colonial feeling.THREE MORE ARRESTS.Alfred Tetrauit, Arthur Beauregarde, and Napoleon Seguin were arrested this morning on a charge of conspiracy in connection with the elections in Maison- neuve division.The three men appeared before Judge Desnoyers this afternoon and pleaded not guilty to the charge.They were remanded until Tuesday next for en- quete, and were released until then on each furnishing a personal bond of 886 and two collateral securities of $400.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 IN THE CIVIL COURTS.The effects of election day were felt in the civil courts.With the exception of the officials, hardly a single person could be seen in the long corridors, and no cases were heard.APPOINTED HOXORARY CANON.Previous to his departure for Rome, Archbishop Bruchesi appointed the Rey.Abbé Le Pailleur, pastor of St.Loyib, Mile End, honorary canon of St.James's Cathedral.THE ROASTING FOWL.\u2018 Roasters, as they are called in the market, are growing considerably in demand,\u201d remarks the * Feather\u201d \u2018There are several grades of these, but the most desirable and those that bring the highest prices in the city market dress at from four to five and one-half pounds.Those that are over-fed and are too heavy, or are out of proportion in the abdomen, do not sell as well as do the others.to these, there is what These are \u2018In addition Brahmas and Lhe These roasters, when of what the \u201c Then, again, there is the virgin cock- These are usually made from late- they can be told, then are raised or grown in lots of about twenty-tive, and e d continually for a quick, heavy growth.These cockerels are quite as desirable In fact, When the market is right, and When are dressed as \u2018The interest in growing this kind of \u2018The pullets from this same grade of so as to hasten their growth.| In fact, these high-class pullets sold in the \u2018Then, again, there is the large, | these are also used | They are cooked in this lunches, sand- This is a better] nown as \u2018' fowl\u201d Fowls are usually! the overly large, overly fat hens, and eager roosters that are too old to be sold at any other grade.est prices per pound in the market, and are sold to cheap restaurants and fami- These bring the low- ies who wish a large amount in without so much consideration or quality.\u2018In some one of these several classes has\u2019 There 12 at is in the dressing them before send- Nothing sells as it will have if Many are unable ©.successfully dey-pick their poultry.Vhen it is necessary to scald, pick theny s quickly as possible, and as scon as he feathers are plucked off from the;

with which be has had remarkaodle stec- cers, The specialist, who was an assistant «of Sir Morel Mackenzie, has for twenty poultry is largely on the increase, and years been an authority on diseases of many claim they much prefer this kind, the throat.of 2 capon or roaster to the real capon\u2019 itself.À Among the posts oË honor which he occupies is that of special phy- Stress ' watching closely for symptoms of cancer of the larynx.He advised those approaching middle age not to delay in seeing a physician it troubled with hoarseness.The redness of the throat and the formation of a nodule in the vicinity of the larynx were danger signs ï ; be neglected.Sir Felix gaid that ii the cancer was recognized in its early stage it could be cured without the removal of the larynx.Dr.Francis J.Quinlan, chairman of the section of larnygology, presided at the meeting.Loud applause followed the introduction of the London specialist.Although the reading of the paper entitled \u201cMalignant tumors of the larynx\u2019 took the author more than an hour, every word was listened to with interest by the specialists.THE WIDE TIRE._\u2014 The Missouri experimental station has conducted numerous trials with wheels of different heights and the same width of tire.The following are some of the conclusions reached: \u2018For the same load waggons with wheels of standard height drew lighter than those with lower wheels.The dif-! ference in favor of the standard wheels Was greater on road surfaces in bad condition than on good road surfaces.Low wheels cut decper ruts than those of standard height.The vibration of the tongue is greater in waggons with low wheels.For most purposes waggons with low wheels are more conven ent than those of standard hvight.Waggons with bread tires and wheels of standard height are cumbersome and require much room in turning.Diminishing the height of wheels thirty to thirty-six inches high in front, and forty to forty-four inches in the rear, did not increase the draft in as great propertion as it increased the convenience of loading and unloading the ordinary farm freight.Diminishing close of, Wellington and Magdaien' New York funds .\u2026.Par\u2014-1-5¢ Sterling, 60 days ., ,.S 3 4\u201413-38 Sterling, demand ., .9 3-8\u201413-32 Sterling, cables ., +.9 15-30-14 Paris, francs short ve oo oe oo oo 5.16 1-4 THURSDAY, NOVENBER 3, 1704, the height of wheels below thirty inches front and forty inches var, increased the draft in greater proportion than it goined in convenience, \u2018On good roads, increasing the length of rear axle so that the front and rear wheels will run in different tracks to avoid cutting ruts, did not increase the draft.On sod, cultivated ground, and bad roads, waggons with the rear axle longer than the front one, drew heavier than one having both axles of the same lergth.Waggons with the rear axle longer thar front one require wider gateways and more careful drivers, and are on the whole, very inconveniznt and not , to be recommended for farm use.The best form of farm waggon is one with axles of equal length, broad tires and wheels thirty to thirty-six inches high in front and forty to forty-four inch s behind.\u2019 As to \u201che effect of the width of tire where the diameter of the wheel r.- mains the same the Seattle \u2018Post\u2019 notrs & trial where forty percent more power was required to draw a load on a wag gon having one and one-balf inch tires than on a waggon having three-inch tires.Tests at the Missouri station tire under practically all conditions.In this connection it may be noted tbat many European countries have laws regulating the width of tires.In Germany four-inch tres are requir:d for heavy loads.In France the tires must be from three to ten inches, according to the load, and the front axle must be shorter than the rear axl to prevent \u2018tracking.\u2019 In Australia WARLONS CATTY- ing two and a quarter tons must have tires at least four and a third inches wide and every load \u2018over four and a half tons must be carried on tires six and one-fourth inches in width.Switzerland has similar regulations.« 1 COMMERCIAL \u2014 ror .CHICAGO MARKETS.Messrs.J.S.Bache & Co., Bell - phone Building, Montreal, report the Tes.ing prices in Chicago to-day, as follows: _ Opening.High.Low.Close.Wheat, Dec.Hîlg 112% 1113 112% May 111% 11215 114 1124 Corn, Dec., 485 48% 477% 4344 May .45% 45% 454 ssa, Oats, Lec.28% 287 28% 78% May .314 3154 31 3g Pork, Jan, .12.60 12.67 12.60 12.¢5b May .12.65 12,67 12.62 12.66 Lard, Jan.7.15 T AT 7.32 7,15 May .7.25 7.27 1.25 727 Short ribs, Jan.6.55 6.57 6.55 6.53 -May .6.67 6.70 6.65 6.7 THE WHEAT MARKET.FRACTICNAL INCREASE ON CHICAGO BOARD\u2014WINNIPEG STEADY.The Chicago wheat steady at last night's close, but Tater\u201d ga ing the entire morning session, was 'somewhat weaker, subsequently recovering to a fractional improvement on the opening price.December closed at $1.12 3-15, and May at $1.12 1-4, the latter price being an increate of 3-8: on las: night's close.The Winnipeg market was very steady syrqushout the day, November closing at -8¢;
