go that, -in order to encourage thrift it could easily favor its employees instead of the bank.Mr.Lariviere also observed that wherever the aystem had been extended trade unionism had become unattractive.The increase of profite derived therefrom had a very good moral effect on the em- es, who became more interested In their work in return for the consideration which was shown them, and also became more intimately connected with the welfare of the concern, see ing it was in their interest to make its iness grow, At the conclusion of the paper, the council, upon motion of Mr.George Gonthier, passed a vote of thanks to Mr.Lanviere for the information he had given.A report of the transportation committee, urging the chamber to lend its support to the North Shoge Transportation and Wrecking Company in ite effort to obtain a subsidy from the Dominion Government, was adopted.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BRAKEMAN INJURED.Odilon Boucher, a G.T.R.brake man.of 417 Grand Trunk street, is in hospital, at Sherbrooke, suffering from th an accident sustained while at Groveton, N.H., on Monday.While fixing the aira tus een two care, Boucher was crushed by the sudden lurching \u2019 of the train.He was taken to Sherbrooke in an unconscious state, and the THIS STO - -Sky and Hello.+ Special, Friday we .o oe on oe yi oe .ot ~ RE S.CARSLE CLOSES AT 6 P.M.+ fe To.THE MONTREAL DANY WITNESS , March Ii.Sale of \u201cEclipse\u201d Whitewear Samples ON GAIN, WE \"HAVE BEEN FAVORED WITH THE ENTIRE SAMPLE LINE OF THE CELEBRATED \u2018ECLIPSE\u2019 WHITBWEAR MANUFACTURING COMPANY, of Toronto.This Sale is an event that is eageriyawaited by the Ladies of Montreal.Every Garment included in the Sale IS WELL CUT, WELL MADE, PERRFECT FITTING, IMMACULATE.A LARGE QUANTITY CHILD WHITEWEAR IS INCLUDED, AS WELL AS CHILDREN'S WHITE DRESSES, WHITE LAWN PINAFORES, ETC.OF REN\u2019S TO-MORROW'S PRICES ARE LESS THAN WHOLESALE AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, THE EOLIPSE COMPANY'S ORIGINAL TICKPTS, MARKED IN WHOLESALE PRICES, PECIAL SALE PRICE TAGS PLACED ALONGSIDE, WILL BE RETAINED, OUR S Ladies\u2019 Trimmed Hats for 81.89 VERY SMART-LOOKING LADIES HATS, hand-made, one a Charlotte shape, of Fancy Straw, trimmed with Silk Chiffon, Soft Satin Ribbon and Flowers, : \u2019 THE OTHER ONE, VERY PRETTY TOQUE, good quality Mohair braid, \\ 25 Dozen EASTER CLOVES REAL FRENCH GLACE KID,2 dome fastener, in good shades of Tan;

something in the fact that while Me | Morse and Mr.Fitzhugh have all along ! given first consideration to Canadians, old Grand Trunk employees, when an op- ; portunity for promotion presented itself, funded if piano is not as represented.We are the largest piano firm in Montreal.Paid- up capital, $400.000.00, Reference : The Bank of Montreal.C.W.LINDSAY, Limited 512 St.Catherine 8t., West MONTREAL, \u2014_\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Write this week and send $10.ECAUSE of our unequalled facilities in mar, uvigan has favored Americans, .with the result that nearly every one of chinery, location of he heads of his departments are from the adjoining republic.\u2019 + i works and water supply \u2019 As [head of {he department of trans we are warranted in portation, maintenance, and construction, \u2018 : .Mr.McGuigan has been directly respon guaranteeing superior sible for \u2018the condition of the Grand trunk lines, and the present splendid roadbed and double tracks between Montreal and Chicago, running such trains as the International Limited, is largely due to his work.When thirteen vears old, Mr.MoGuig- an started his railway career as a water boy on the ¥rie & Pennsylvania Railway.He held minor positions with that company until 1874, when he was appointed roa ter.This gave him + chance to prove his mettle, and, in 1880, he was made foreman of the construction train on the St.Louis and Omaha division of the Wabash lines west of the Mississippi.At that time Charles M.Hays was general.manager of the Wabash.He soon singled Mr.McGuigan out for prouc- tion, and in 1888 appointed him superin- laundry work and at the lowest possible cost.Rite ver, Troy Laundry FACTORY AND OFFICES : VERDUN.PHONES: Main 3644-3848, Main 5447.Main 3818 Main 1803.Up 1999, tendent of the Wabash western division | or LEAP ETP BRO Re WN EE Bal 7s | WM.CURRIE, Clothier.\u2019 TTR NE \u2018BOY PROOF CLOTHING If sd, eur Progress Brand Suits will give you perfect satisfaction.NORFOLK SUITS, $2.50, $3.00, $3.50 to $6.00.| D.B.SACK SUITS, $4.00 to 88.50.8.B.SACK SUITS, $3.50 to $7.50.BUSTER BROWN SUITS, $2.50, $3.00, $3.50, \u2018 $4.00 and up.1 Co .SAILOR SUITS, $2.50 to $6.00.LS BOYS\u2019 ODD PANTS, 30¢ to $1.50.| \u2018 OVERCOATS and REEFERS, $3.50, $4.00, $5.00, $6.50, $8.00.RE \u2018And all other sundries to wear or bespoke.TN Clothing made from Pure Weol fabrics.+ 2e 5 / J]!

Committee to-day dealt \u2018chiefly \u201cwith the various claims of the home field.This year it has decided to branch .out, and meet the étrangers coming to a strange land.With this object in view, thet \u2018committee appointed a man to meet thé\u2018boats on their arrival in \u2018Quebec and \u2018dlÿo an officer to attend to the fôreignefs who go out West.The Rev.J.McFarlane, chaplain, at Quebec, who is in charge of a church \u2018at Point Levis, has -been.appointed as\u2018 immigration officer pr\u201d chaplain: for the Presbyterian Church at that point.His special work will be to meet immigrants, give them any desired information, and help them in every possible way.For the western point at Winnipeg to fill \u2018the same office, the Rev, J.A.Bowman,\u201d who has for the past year filled the dual office of pastor of a, church and of immigration: chaplain, has been.appointed.Toronto, March 19.\u2014The Presbyterian- Church Home Mission Committee, in, session here to-day, decided to increase the grant this year by $10,000, making the total amount $150,000.This .large sum, the church deems, ig required owing to churéh expansion in the West, and the inability of missions on the prairies.and outlying places to support a minister.Tt was feared that there would be\" a deficit, but -all obligations\u2019 have been met, and there is a balance\u2019 on thand of about five thousand dollars.- This fortunate state of affairs is owing bd a number of legacies left during the ear.= LIBEL CASE POSTPONED.As the resilt of an arrangement between the advocates tne case of

Thistle executive were present, while the Wanderers were repreqented by Mr.Wm.Jennings and Lester Patrick.Wanderers offered to play two games but wanted them both in Winnipeg, refusing to come down here again, and they wanted the games to be played on Thursday and Saturday of this week.This proposition the Thistles refused,and offered as ah altérnative one game here on Friday and the other in Winnipeg on Monday.This created a deadiock, neither aide shon ing any inclination to give way.Finally, the Thistles offered to go out and, play there \u201cdnd - then \u201cit suitable officials

found that Stuart was no bigger than Griffis.The Wanderers, unless some new ar- Tangement js arrived at in the meantime, will probably play exhibition games at Brandan, Port Arthur, end with \u2018the

constitution, met here this morning in the hall in which the late President Kruger presided for so many years over the sittings of the Upper Volksraad of the South African Republic.In a speech at the opening of.the legislature, the Earl of Selbourne, High Commission, for South Africa, said: \u2018My ministers have resolved that the employment of Chinese in the mines shall cease at the earliest possible moment.As to the Chinese already employed there, my ministers -vill not take aby steps to prevent their repatriation at the end of are convinced that such repatriation will have to take place before an cHiective substitute, either in the form of other unskilled labor or improved mechanical appliances, has been found.\u2019 he disposition of the new government of the Transvaal to exclude all Asiatics from work in the mines is shown by the fact that the \u2018Asiatic ardinance\u2019 recently disallowed by the Earl of Eigin, Secretary of State for the Colonies, after it had passed the

British ndians, who are ousting the small white traders in the Transvaal, is equally intended to exclude the Japanese or other Asiatics, who are emigrating to South Africa in increasing numbers.Sir Gilbert Parker, who represents the colonists in the House of Commons, on this question is quoted to-day in an interview as saying: \u2018If, as I am sure it will, the Transvaal Parliament re-enacts the Asiatic ordinance, the 1mperial Government will hardly venture to disallow it again, as Over ninet-nine percent of the whites in South Africa thoroughly approve of it.\u2019 \u2014\u2014\u2014

CHILDRENS CORNER _ THE FAIRY WHO CAME TO UUK PA?- HOUSE.; There was once a dear little girl who lived in our house.She was quite loving and sweet and truthful, She would bave been a dear, dear little girl but for one thing\u2014she was a wee bit careless.It was just about little things you know.Perhaps it might be drying the cups until they shone.Perhaps it might be dusting the undermost : places.like the fangs of \u2018the chairs and the piano legs.aps it might be giving fresh milk fo Taffy, the black pussy cat.Perhaps #6 might be leaving the oid rag dol} out.would have remembered all these things, ut our dear little girl forgot.One mofhingishe woke very early, but\u2019 the sun -was behind a.cloud, and.fog had crept into the nursery.She gen to forget \u201cthings before breakfast.\u2018Oh, where is my red hair ribbon,\u2019 she said, \u2018and where is my shoestring?\u2019 , After breakfast she wanted to make a little saucer pie With mother in.the \u2018kitchen.\"Just as ghe put it in the oven she thought about her unmade bed upstairs.Before she had half finished the bed, she remembered that grandmother was waiting to have her spectacles found.Then the door bell rang, and she was sfich a short way to the end of the garden, she really had to run to the gate, .and call to.next-door Helen.Ah, .the broken ehoestring was quite in the way.The dear little girl tumbled \u2018down in the garden path and bumped her poor little nose.And the saucer pie burned black in the oven, the bed was not made, and grandinother had no spectacles.As she sat in the garden path squeezing out two big tears, who should she gee on a stone beside her (there had been no one there before) but a ° trmy old woman.She was three inches high, | I think, and she wore a long red cloak and a little red hood.Her face was brown and wrinkled, like a last year\u2019s hickory nut.She rapped three times on the stone with her cane, and said: \u2018What\u2019s the matter, little girl?\u201d \u2018Oh,\u2019 sobbed the dear little girl, _'1 want to not forget so many things.\u2019 \u2018Run right into the house,\u2019 said the fairy, for she was a fairy.\u2018I'am going to help you all day long.\u2019 The dear little girl rubbed her eyes.There was no fairy on the stone then, only two wee footprints, so she jumped up and ran into the house, The first thing she spied was a pair of shiny spectacles under the hall rack, Grandma was so pleased to have them.As the dear little girl came downstairs again, she.heard a squeaky laugh.There wag a whisk of a red cloak on the staircase, and someone said: \u2018Hurry, hurry, kitchen trouble, \u2018 Kettle wants to boil and bubble.* So the dear little girl ran down to.the kitchen and filled the old copper teakettle, which sat fussing on the stove, because it was empty.As she put on the cover, who sho she see standing on the spout but a little figure in a red cloak, and this\u2019 is what she heard: \u2018Run and set the plates for lunch.Knives and forks are in a bunch.Sure enough, the table did need setting.When\" it was done, there was the \u2018fairy on the \u201csiddboard twirling around FDollie\u2019s things are such a sight, : Put the Bureau drawers to right\u2019 = 86 the dear little girl flew upstairs to joa rrr oY \u2018just Bad to run and see who it was.It | \u2018,, HOMESTEAD.REGULATIONS: Y EVEN NUMBERED section of De- nlon Lands in Manitoba or the North- West Provinces, excepting 8 and 26, not reserved, way pe homesteaded by any bvar 18 years of age, to the extent of one- quarter section, of 160 acres, more or -less.Application for homestead entry or iu- applicant at the office of the local Agent br Sub-Agent.- TAs application for entry or Inspection pa may be wired Sub-Agent, at the expense of the applicant, and if the land applied for is vacant dn tntll the necessary papers to complete bio transaction are received by mail.In case of \u2018\u2018personation\u2019 the entry will oo summarily cancelled, and the appilcant will forfeit all priority of ciaim.An applicant for inspection must be eligible for homestead entry, and only one application for inspection will be receivea Bas been disposed of.* À homesteader whose entry is in good standing, and not llable to cancellation, may, subject to approval of Department relinquish it in favor of father, mother, son, daughter, brother or sister, if eligible, an entry is summarily cancelled, or voluntarily abandoned, subsequent prior right of ectry.what particulars the homesteader is in de found to be inccrrect in material particu- of re-entry, should the land become vacant, summarily cancelled.DUTIES.\u2014A settier is required to perform, the conditions under one of the foi- lowing plans:\u2014 -

\u2018Shorty\u2019 had reported to the , an a long-lost brother by Steve Perfetto, the foreman of the plough , whose joy in learning that he was to have Ar thur Tooke\u2019s brother for a lieutenant was only equalled by the prise that à former yardmaster should have been given such a job.Scrawling his name at the bottom of some forms the pew member of the plough gang eauntered out of the road- master\u2019s office, and on to the station platform.A freignt had just then backed down on to the main line, and & tall, thin man, with a fur cap pulled forward so that it almost hid his face, was

Pardee.Worse and, worse grew: the sborm, At last, however, with much labor and many groanings, the 274 topped the grade and started to slide to the foot of the hill, where showed the flicker of the switch lights of the siding, In the cupola the brothers still talked of boyhood days and of other days that were to come.Suddenly, as the foot of the grade was reached and the train slackened preparatory to taking the switch, there came from somewhere one short toot of an engine.Both men heard it, but it -af- \u2018Murphy, already,\u201d said Arthur.\u2018Now that\u2019s what I.call a pretty crossing on a bad night.\u2019 But he spoke only to himself.\u2018Shorty\u2019 had grabbed the lantern standing lighted between them, dived to the floor below, and dropped off the rear end.As he rushed blindly up the incline, battlin with the cyclone and blundering thro the drifts, he needed not the shower of sparks now showing over the ridge to tell him that either the despatcher at Eagle Rock or the operator at Pardee had blundered, and that Martin had been given a clearance at the last statiom.Even now the train he had left had not started into the siding\u2014perhaps the snow made the turning of the switch unusually difficult.When Moore got over the rice, with twenty cars of wheat behind him, he\u2019d never hold her on the slippery rail.He knew it was idle to shout in the face of such a wind, and yet he shout- .Another minute and the glare of the headlight almost blinded him.He waved the lantern frantlzaily; then, as the iron monster went by, he hurled the light at the side of the cab.\u2018Thank God, Moore must have seen his warning or the tail lamps of the train ahead as soon as he topped the grade, for the sand was striking fire on the burning rails, and swaying on the second car was the front end man in bare head twisting the head off a brake.He jumped wider into the drifts and again looked back.The lights were slowly moving.After all, there were only eight cars and the plough, and \u2018Moore was performing miracles.From far east on the main line came a wild screeching; that must be Bill Cameron\u2019 asking the meaning of the two headlights.He stepped

distinguished founder of the Salvation Army, was the guest of honor yesterday at 8 largely attended Juncheon under the auspices of tire Canadian Club of Ottawa and in the evening addressed a very large gathering in the Russell Theatre During the afternoon he visited the Par hament Buildings and called upon Sir Wilfrid Laurier, afterwards receiving in the chambers of the Speaker of the House of Commons, where he bad an opportuni ty of meeting the leading public men of both polit: parties.; The luncheon of the Canadian Club was graced by the presence of His Excellency Karl Grey, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Hon.H.R.Emmerson, the Hon.T Sutherland, of the House of Commons, Mr, K.L.Borden, M.P, the Conservative leader, and & number of members of parliament.The General was most enthusiastically received as he entered the room and later as he arosg to address the elub, Speaking of the objects of the Salvation Army, he said its sole mission was to raise men and women from the depths of despair and misery, from vice and drunkenness, from harlotry and debauchery, and place them on their feet, to teach them that life was beautiful and good if only the love &f their Maker was implanted in their hearts and the fear of him was the r _passion of their lives.The Army had succeeded almost beyond the dreams of the General himself.Its work and objects had interested royalties,\" presidents, prime \u2018mämisters, cabinets, parliaments.sections of the community were interested in it.It had become a force on the world for the uplifting of man.In graphic words General Booth sketch- devoted officers and workers of the Army labored.He zpoke of those who sometimes objected to the methods employed, to the beating of the drum and eo on.It was necessary to reach these people.The churches could not do it.In the great cities of the world thousands of men and women were not born into it but damned into it.From their earliest days they were in hell, despair of the churches.Yet these people had to be reached and in the earnest endeavor to reach them the Salvation Army was brought into being.eral said when the work was started a great many people thought he was mere- seeking Nothing could de further from the truth.Forty-one years ago he had been in the eastern part of London, and on looking on at the ever flowing current of viee and misery he decided there.an then to make the alleviation of this misery the work of his life.Together with his wife he consecrate4 himself to the work \u2018of raising the fallen and bringing \u2018the glad news of the gospel to The sub- \u2018of a Salvation Corps in thé Yukon by one of the former members of the Army in England, who had gone to the Klon- wke sud had fallen a victim to drink.General Booth said he was now on the way to Japan.Unknown to him, and without his consent, his people had opened up the work in Corea and n- churia, and had even gone so far as to open.an establishment in Pe \u2018that remains for me to do is to follow the flag and do all I can, he added.The speaker then referred to the question of the unemployed, which was an ever-increasing problem with which the Army had to grapple.In this way the \u2018Army had been of some service to Canada.He declared that emigration meth- cds and colonization plans were his remedy for the unemp oyed.His motto with the man who was ont of work was to put him back on h:m by careful guidance and all pos- gible help.to earn his living there.The only remedy for the unemp oyed was to find them employment.A remedy was not to be found in the cities, Even in the booming prosperity of England there was no room at the present time for skilled labor in the cities and \u201ctowns.Where are these men to go?I say on to the land.\u201d General Booth added that he bad four be brought back to the land.At the mouth pe Thames he had a farm of fom seven to eight thousand acres in which people were put through various kinds of instruction in tilling the land.Fifty men had been sent to Canada from this farm and not one had broken down or backalidden.In all the emigration plans it was the object to select the right kind of people.\u2018Then there were the colonization schemes, home and abroad.-It was one of his strong beliefs that if a man can get five or six acres of land for farming or gardening pur- oses near a Ci e would be Fr snd would be able to earn a cem- fortable living- In conclusion in his pinion interesting in T its religion.It commended itself to every one for it was the religion of love, Toving God with all your heart and loving vour neighbor as yourself.His Excellency Lord Grey, in moving a hearty vote of thanks to General Booth on behalf of the Canadian Club, said it had been his great privilege to have General Booth as his guest à Rideau Hall, and it was 8 privilege which he would not easly forget.It was, indeed, a t privilege to all t2 se: und hear neral Booth, because the General was the greatest living illustration 0 the truth that nothing wus impossible to the man who was 1m earnest.\u201cI hardly know,\u2019 said His Excellency, \u2018of any organisation, political, religious or industrial, which has left such a deep impression for good upon the crust of the earth\u2019s surface.\u2019 The Salvation Army had done noble work in bringing hope into the lives of the miserable in all parts of the world.and it had accomplished its object, and stood y an historic example of dis 1 interest; General Booth said that there was nothing more enthusiasm.His Excellency said he had immediately cabled Genera} ed the

deveiopment of Canada the distinct and effective enthusiasm and business methods of the Salvation Army.He did not know what requests General Booth had made of Sir Wilfrid Laurier or of Premier Whitney.He could ®ay this for the General.General Booth was doing enough if he found the organization, and should not be asked to go round with the bat.lt now depends upon the peoplé here it they are prepared to finance any cél- onization echeme which seems good to the General and the officials of the Army.Lord Grey continued that General Booth did not want a gift, but he was prepared to accept an advance of money which shall be satisfactorily secured on the land settled, and penny of which would go towards the development of that land.Many a men wag able to get an advance on the \u2018strength

before it dawned on him that, with the exception of his wife, every one in the ouse had a day off once a week.This was «à kind-hearted man, and he set about York \u2018Journal.\u2018I always had Sundays.\u2019 he said, \u2018the children had Saturdays and Sundays, too, and one of the maids had every Wednesday, while the other was free on Thursdays.But when I began to think it over it seemed to me that my wife never by any chance got a day entirely to her self, \u2018We talked it over together first, then my wife consulted the maids, 2nd os soon ap they grasped the idea they were as keen as posuble: to do what they could to help.\u2018Finally we decided that every Tuesday the servants, the children and I were to be left entirely to our own devices.My wife might stay in bed all day it she liked, go away, shop, visit, look in at a picture gallery, or, in fact, do anything that sne liked.\u2018She was to have absolutely no regpon- sibility for meals or anything oa that one day.of the week.; \u2018It worked splendidly.The maids rose to the occasion, and we vied with one another in trying to keep everything running smoothly and were as plaased as possible when we could manage to spend less than we are allowed for the catering department and yet show good Te- | sults.\u2018And my wife isn\u2019t like the same woman.She seems to have discovered the secret of perpetual youth, and she assures me that if only every wcmsn in the world had a chance of trying the same plan there would be more hippy homes around.\u2018How can any one expect a woman to keep bright and happy if she never has any regular time to amuse herself?\u2014 CHOOSING SPRING COLORS.In choosing for the spring costume from among the infinite: variety of colors, be- comingness is, of course, the first consideration, \u2018and, second, is appropriateness to the season.It is not considered now to be necessary to reserve the lighter colors for young people; white is often worn by handsome grandmothers; nor docs the blonde maintain a prescriptive right to blue, nor the brunette claim Id as exclusively her own.Tints and tones are now so enormously varied that sume shade in every color is almost sure to suit, no matter what the individuality.Some colors are favorable in certain materials and not in others.If a fabric has a surface from \u201cwhich lights and shades are well reflected, such as velvet or silk, or a cloth with a good face, a color will be becoming that 13 not so at all in a neawier suzfaced material, such as tweed.or ovdinary cloth, Som:thing that should be remembered about fancy materials, whether stripes of mixtures, is that they should be looksd at from a little distance as well as close at band, before being selected for a dress.It not infrequently happens that, when seen a little way off, as one\u2019s neighbors will view the dress when it is being worn, a certain shade in the mixture will predominate to a far greater degree than one had supposed on a closer inspection.1f the value of the white cloth skirt were fully aprreciated therz would be few women without such an article in the wardrobe.Take a skirt of white serge and note the manifold uses

on local bodies, where they have done already, and probably wil do again, much valuable work in provinces peculiarly within their sphere.To illustrate this.an English writer tells two amusi stories of the mistakes mad: by boar of guardians.The paupers in a country union made a complaint that the por ridge supplied for breakfast was bitter, when the board, after due refleciion, ordered sugar to be served with it, mot understanding\u2014as a housewife would at ence\u2014that the oatmeal must be unsound.Another time a conscientious guardian asked the inatrou of the workhouse how often the blankets were washed.\u2018Twice a year, sir,\u2019 she replied.\u2018Only twice a year?\u2019 he exclaimed angry.\u2018In future they must be washed every fortnight.\u201d It is mot recorded what his wife said when he told her the story at ome.THE \u2018WITNESS DAILY MODEL \u2018 \u2014 FASHION CATALOGUE FOR SPRING AND SUMMER, 1907.For the convenience of our subscribers, we have arranged to supply

DICKINSON BILL.London, March 20.\u2014The woman suffragists to-day attempted a demonstrative raid on parliament, more important and more numerous than any of their previous efforts.The police, however, had timely warning, and made preparations that resulted in making the demonstration somewhat ineffective.The only result was the arrest of nearly seventy suffragists, who were at once liberated on bail.Previous to this demonstration, an indignation meeting, which was largely attended by the suffragists and their friends, was held at Caxton Hall, where the speakers denounced the House of Commons for stifling the Dickinson woman suffragist bill.\u2019 The raid was led by Lady Harberton, who was assisted by the most prominent women who took part an the previous raids.The women drove up in waggons, and, after promenading before the House of Parliamerit, stormed the.entrance where the police reinforcements, drawn up for the occasion, awaited the onslaught and drove the women
