look well to their own first, then afterwards seek to do for the general improvement.We would advocate a Village Improvement Society, one which would be in earnest and follow along simple lines at first, and always maybe, but surely and steadily for the interests of of all.Let every one that is in sympathy with the movement raise their hand, then let us organize and see what we can do.EAST

presented and all we expect it to be thousands will follow.\u201d BOUNDARY DISPUTE.Both Parties at Work on the Case.A London despatch says: The American embasey is closely watching the Alaskan boundary dispate, but is not taking an active part in the preparation of the case.It does not have access to the archives of the foreign office.The new counsel appointed for the United States is expected to work up the case at Washington.Minister Sifton and his associates are working quietly, but with the hearty co-opera- tion of the foreign office.Their counsel is well chosen, and there is no lack of expert talent behind him.Shoald Be In Every Home At This Season, Our ablest Canadian physielsns are prescribing and recommending Hae- vard Bronchial Syrup for old and young who are attacked by obre throat, hacking ceugh and bronchial troubles.For eroup, asthme and bron- chitles, Harvard Bropebial Syrup bes no equal in the world, as it possesses virtues that are not found in other cough preparations.Try a bottle; your druggist or dealer can eupply me ee eee.SIFTING EMIGRANTS.Busy Time for Uncle Sam\u2019s Officials.Boston & Maine offcials report that the rush of Spring travel! between Canada and the factory towne of New England has begun upnsually early tra oars are the order of the day.Many are northward bound, hundreds returning home from Lowell, where a strike recently occurred.The tide of emigration from the Quebec Central district and the lower St.Lawrence still continues.1iThe U.8.A.emigration agents, both an the B.& M.and the G.T.R.are baving a lively time iu their efforts to enforce the recebt emigration laws passed by the States.The inspector for the Stanstead line boards the B.& M.train at Sherbrooke.Passing through the cars he ecrutinizes the passengers \u2018closely.Any whom he suspects of lacking the requisite amount of cash to make them admissible he accosts with the demand: \u201cWhereare you going?\u2019 e makes many errors in judgment and his jurisdiction is so limited on this side of the line that he often has troubles of his own as s result of this apparent interference with personal liberty until the train crosses the line and he has Uncle Sam at bis back.A pussenger who, the other evening, witnessed the emigration agent\u2019s efforts to serve his country was heard to remark: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have that man\u2019s job for a thousand dollars a week.\u201d And yet he does very effective work.Scarcely a day passes but several people who have set out to go \u2018\u2018on de State\u201d are returned as unqualified for citizenship.They often try again.Sometimes they get through and often are again returned.Dr.Harper and His Friends.(Waterloo Advertiser.) The Advertiser bad not concerned iteelf much over the Harper controversy; but it cannot shut its eyes to the fact that Dr.Harper might well ask to be saved from his friends.The journalistic champions of Dr.Harper, in the absence of tacts, have resorted to vituperation and vilification of the most indecent sort.The Richmond Guardian, usually courteous and logical in discussion, is the latest cffend- er in this respect.In taking up the cudgels for Dr.Harper, our esteemed contemporary makes a violent and unjust attack on the Rev.Dr.Rex- ford.The Guardian perhaps is not aware that Dr.Harper owes his present position to Dr.Rexford, on whose recommendation he was appointed many years ago.Dr.Rexford is no more responsible for the proposal to dispense with Dr.Harper\u2019s services than the great majority of the Protestant Committee.Why single him out for attack?Why not include the whole Committee/and place the responsibility paper mouthpieces are doing his case à world of harm.He is either a good inspector of superior schools or he is not.He either performs the other duties of his position well or he does not.In either event he is the officer of the Protestant Committee, and that body has the power to deal with him as may deem best.It should occur to those who are brutally abusing Dr.Rexford that poesibly the Protestant Committee, which is in possession of all facts, may know as much about Dr.Harper's fitness or anfitness as they do, to say the least.The Canadian Pacific has purchased the Monmouth, another steamer from the Elder-Dempster fleet, making fifteen in ali, which have passed under the control of the great railway company.© A Sweet Breath isa never falling sign of a healthy stomach.When the th is bad the stomach is out of order.There is no Byapogela Cure for

miles an hour, the Inter- colonial express jtraind No.26, from Montreal, for Halifax, crashed head- on into the fast freight for Sydney, travelling at least twenty miles an hour.Four men are dead, and a number are badly, it not fataily injured.The collision occurred about two and a half miles beyond Windsor Junction.The cause of the catastrophe involving four lives and much valuable property, was the culpable neglect of the driver of the Sydney freight, Nelson Copeland.The story of the cause of this terrible accident may never be told in its entirety.Nelson Copeland, it is stated, tore up the orders to cross the express at Windsor Junction, and by rushing on past semaphores and red lights, set hard againet him, showed that he was insane.The express train left Shubenacadie with an order to cross the Sydney freight at Windsor Junction, and the Syduey freight left Halifax, with orders to cross the express at the same place.But Driver Copeland did not even slack up at Windsor Junction.He sped on as though he were in charge of au express train and had the right of way over the road, heeding not the fact, which he must have known, that the Montreal express was not far ahead op its way to meet him.Driver Copeland was not the only man on that train who knew that the freight should stop at the Junction.Any man who had eyes could see for himself the red lights hard against any advance, and the moonlight was almost clear enough to show the semaphore stretching out towards the track.As soon as Conductor Haynes and Brakeman McDonald saw that the train was going past Windsor Junction they knew that something was wrong.\u201cJump off and signal them from the Dartmouth locomotive and then try the wire at the station,\u201d was Conductor Haynes\u2019 order to his brake-, TORONTO

of the caboose and before the train had much more than got clear of the Junction platform he jumped.The conductor stuck to his part of the task.A locomotive used on the Dartmouth branch was standing on the siding.McDonald sprang up and told the man in charge of the danger, and then whistled \u201cDown Brakes\u201d as loudly as steam could do it, in the hope that the signals would be heard by the quickly vanishing train.It was ineffectual.The men on the engine of the ill-fated train heard nothing, or if they heard, they heeded not.Meanwhile the men at the Junction had not been idle.They had the wires almost red hot trying to telegraph to the agent at Wellington, the next station, to hold back No.28, the Montreal express, Conductor Haynes was doing his part of the work with a will, but time was fleeting and scramble along as quickly as he could he had not got over more than half the distance when the headlights of the approaching express flashed out and it was too late.At the same instant that Oonductor Haynes saw the headlights of the Montreal express, Wm.Wall must have seen the engine light of the Sydney freight.The express had come out of a cutting and round a curve, and there was a straightway of about 1,000 yards of clear track between the two engines.What Driver Uopeland did is not known, but the heroic Wall acted instantly.His hand sprang to ihe throttle lever, he shut off steam, and he applied the brakes.Never for a moment did he flinch from his post of duty nor did his firemen move.They stuck to their engine like men.Engines crashed together with fearful impact, the sound of the collision being heard as far away as Bedford.While the railway men of the Junction knew of the impending disaster two miles beyond, the great engines were in an embrace and four men in the agonies of death.The engine of the freight and that of the express telescoped one another and the freight cars piled up in a mass of indescribable confusion.by of Heart T: write co the

who is in his bundredth year, was communicated with before Parliament met.He was asked if he would be able to attend.Senator Wark replied that he certainly would be able to attend, but he had no time to throw away on a sitting of only a few days, which would be followed by a long adjournment.This was chirpy language from the father of the Senate, but it conveys the spirit of the veteran New Brunswicker.Last year when Senator Wark came up to Ottawa the kind heart of Senator William Gibson prompted him to send a carriage to the station to meet his venerable colleague.Senator Wark sent back the carriage and his hearty thanks with the simple explanation he preferred to walk.BARNSTON MODEL SCHOOL.Easter Examinations.ELEMENTARY.Grade IV\u2014Willie Benoit, James Peters, Harry Buckland.Grade

GRAND TRUNK MAY SECURE ATLANTIC TERMINUS IN CANADA.Business Men Watching Ottawa.A despatch from Portland, Me., says: Tae business community is watching developments at Ottawa, where hostility to this city as an outlet for Cana- dan traffic has been manifested on several occasions.There are indications that inducements are being made by certain public men in Canada and by combined interests at the port of St.John, N.B.to divert a large part of the trade from Canada to Europe, via this port, to a point in Canadian territory.The occasion for the renewal of the campaign against Portland is the measures now being taken by the Grand Trunk interest to build a complete transcontinental system in Canada.The Grand Trunk corporation has asked authority of the Canadian Government to issue guaranteed stock up to £10,000,000 and it is commonly understood that the road is desirous of participating in the system ot subsidies which has long been in vogue in the construction of railroads in Canada.Since the announcement of the present Grand Trunk project, a hostility to that road has developed in some quarters across the line, due to the fect that the Company which handles an immense Canadian business, bas ite terminal on the Atlantic seaboard in this city.During the past few years the Grand \"Trunk has made great improvements in this city, and has completed plans for a new elevator a nd wharfage facilities, 2 new station and other additions.From this citizens of Portland refuse to believe that the Grand Trunk will abandon Portland.A despatch from Ottawa last week was of unusual interest here.At the parliamentary committee bearing on the Grand Trunk\u2019s application for an issue of £10,000,000 stock the Canadian Minister of Railways and Canals, Hon.A.G.Blair, a member of the Cabinet, asked how the money was to be spent, adding that he was opposed to its being spent on those portions of the road which are in the United States.Although the Grand Trunk operates lines in the Western States, it is well known that Mr.Blair had reference to the line in New England.The opposition of the Minister ot Railways is no surprise here.He is head of the Canadian system of railroads and is member of Parliament for St.Jobns city, the rival winter port of this city.His influence, however, in the Government at Ottawa, is strong, and it is said that he has practically his own way in railroad affairs, and until the question is finally settled there will be much interest here.Another representative from the Atlantic provinces in Canada who expressed his opinion at the hearing was Mr.Gourley, member of Parliament for Colchester County, N.8.Mr, Gourley is quoted as saying that he thought \u2018\u2018the time had arrived to refuse the Grand Trunk Railway any favors in Parliament until such time as the company tore up its terminals at Portland, Me.\u201d Mr.Gourley\u2019s remarks are not as alarming as they would be were he a supporter of the Government.He gained much publicity in the United States some time ago by delivering a flery speech in Parliament against this conntry.It is not doubtful that there is a large Canadian sentiment against the Grand Trunk having its terminus here, but whether it will be necessary for the British road to sacrifice Portland or abandon hope of Government support is what forms the topio of interest here at the present time.a THE BAR BILL FOUGHT FOR POPE.George H.St.Pierre, M.L.A., for Stanstead, Secures Amendment.| \u2014 | A Quebec c.rrespondent writes: | When the Bar Bill was before the | Committee of Legislation last week! Mr.George H.St.Pierre, M.L.A.for Stanstead, presented an amendment | and succeeded in passing it, by which, hereafter, all students will be obliged to make the deposit required by law with the treasurer of the section of their domicile, that is, where they come from.This is very important for the rural sections.Heretofore, the students going from rural districts to Montreal or Quebec to take a university course, took invariably advantage of the law, which gave them the right to make their deposit with either the treasurer of the Montreal or Quebec youngingg result was this: The yousg'igy of the Towpsbips go to.Montiel op Gueles;te alii thefir fo- posit with tbe \u2018iressuisr of either of these sections, and the several sections are deprived of the amount of their deposits.For the last few years the lawyers in some of the districts, inelodiag the Distslos .of 80 Francie, have ified tholasalves dpuile the ordinary tax, but in spite of all this, it fe all they can do to keep up their li- teary,\u201d tbe judicial reports, ete.By Mz.88.Pierre's amendment, the de- Fosite of the student will be made with the treasurer of the section in Death of a Sherbrooke Man Who Had Exciting Career.The death of Mr.Ferdinand Fav- reau, a well-known French resident of Sherbrooke, occured Sunday evening says the Record.Mr.Favreau was 8 member of the Union St.Joseph and of the Congregation of Men, and belonged to the Third Order of St.Francis.He worked for nearly fifteen years for the reverend ladies of the congregation, and for the last twelve years had been emploped at the Paton Mill.Before coming to Sherbrooke the late Mr.Favreau bad a varied and stirring career.He served at Rome as a Pontifical Zouave, from 1868 to 1870, and was then made prisoner at the taking of that city by tbe troope of Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel.Mr.Favreau lived in s \u2018humble condition, but was à most respected citisen.Me Was & model Catholic and devoted to his church.BRIGHAM YOUNG DEAD.Brigham Yonng, President of the Council of Twelve Apostles of the Mormon Chuzch, died at Salt Lake, Utah, on Baturday night alter alin: goring illness.Ho wes born at Rirk- land, Ohio, in 1584, and was the sidest son of President Brigitam Young.Kitchener, the iron man of the Sou- dain and South Africa, is reported tof be building a new ball room fn oon- which be resides.This will give means to rural districts to keep the law Mbeury up-to-date, otc.The _sidosabils opposition from lawyers and \u2019 membess of Montreel and Quebes.\u201c\u2026 The bill, with the above and some oe slight aincndments, was afopt- oy nection with his official residence at Calcutta.Indian climate snd envi- & man\u2019s way of looking at things.amended some morse this session of encagb fuit ox- Faces ronmout é0-thaké curious changes in The Quebec game laws are being the Legislature.It would bo againet io.o|trsdition if these laws and the sodes \u2014 For Extension of Orford Mountain Railway to Windsor Mills.\u201cH.O.Cleveland and A.W.Mitchell with a party of surveyors, arrived in town Thursday,\u201d says a Windsor Mills correspondent.\u201cThey have completed a preliminary survey of the extension of the Orford Mountain Railway from Kingsbury.They report having found a feasible line although involving some heavy work, especially on the last five or six miles.They propose running another experimental line, following the river bank, the line already surveyed being on the high ground at some distance from the river, after which location surveys will be commenced and pushed forward vigorously.Judge Foster, President of the O.M.R., is determined upon having the line in operation to Windsor during the present summer, which will be a boon to the town.\u201d The Local Paper.Speaking of what a newspaper does for a community, United States Senator Davis of Illinois, made an address which remains ever green in the memory of newspaper men.He sald: \u201cEvery year every local newspaper gives from 500 to 1,000 free lines for the benefit of the community in which it is located.No other agency can or will do this.The editor in proportion to his means, does more for his town than any other man; he ought to be supported\u2014not because you happen to admire his writing, but because a local paper is the best investment a community can make.It may not be crowded with great thoughts, but financially, it is of more benefit than preacher or teacher.To-day editors do more for less pay than any other men on earth.Patronize your home paper not as a charity, but as a home investment.\u201d We do not know whether it is the policy of the Liberal party; but it has been more than once shown to be that of the party\u2019s accredited organ, the \u2018Canada,\u2019 to read Mr.Tarte and the \u2018Patrie\u2019 out of the party altogether,\u201d says the Montreal Witness.\u201cWhether this is a desirable piece of party discipline, it is for those acquainted with the exigencies of party despotism to say.But if it has to be done it should not be done by the maladroit method of expressions of petty jealousy as to which newspaper holds the most accredited certificate of servility to party.When the \u2018Patrie\u2019 accuses the Quebec Government of mismanaging the crown lande, the genersl jndgment would be that it is quite as likely to be wrong as right, and, on the other hand, quite as likely to be right as wrong.But it is the least convincing of all answers to tell it that in taking the position it does it is disloyal to the party.On the contrary, that paper is really the traitor to a party\u2019s best inféreste which defends its wrong acts as well as its right ones.\u201d HILL OUTLINES ISSUE.\u2014 He Thus Presents Rimoeelf aan Candidate.Albany, April 16.\u2014David B.Hil, in the view of Democratic politicians bere pus himeslf forward as a candidate for the Demoeratic nomination for the presidency, when at the Gef- ferson banquet on Monday night he outlined the issues on which he thought the next campaign should be fought.\u201cNew York will lead whers Demo- crate will follow; or New York will follow where Democrats lead,\u201d said Mr.Hill at the close at his speech, and fn the politician's view he would never have committed himeelf to that pledge unless he felt absolately certain thas the logic of events pointed to the select ion of a New York candidate by the Democracy and to the aéogtion of « platform wpon which New York Demcorats would be able to nat without miogivinge.DEPARTMENT OF MINING AND METALLURGY SEPARATED.Higher Degrees Granted\u2014Mr.H.L.Cooke Gets scholarship.The department of metallurgy in the Science Faculty at McGill is to be separated from that of mining engineering, so as to allow Dr.J.B.Porter to concentrate his time on the mining branch, while Dr.Stansfield takes full charge of the metallurgical department.This will allow more research work to be done in both departments.The separation was decided on at the meeting of the corporation yer- terday afternoon.At the same time a gift of $500 from Sir Wm.Macdonald for the purchase of radium for research was announced.It was also decided to confer the degree of Doctor of Science upon Prof.R.B.Owens.Other degrees to be conferred are: \u2014 By the Faculty of Arts, the degree of Master of Arts upon the Rev.W.W.Craig, B.A.; Mr.Hereward Lester Copke, B.A.and Mr.J.G.W.John- stone, B.A.Master of Science, Miss Bella Marcuse, B.Sc.By the Faculty of Applied Science: The Degree of Master of Science upon Mr.Kenneth McK.Cameron, B.Sc.;

Mr.Mr.John H.Patterson, of Montreal; Mr.Hugh Gaw of Clinton, Mass.These degrees will be conferred in absentia, as owing to the veterinary convocation being held a month earlier than usual the students have gone home.STOLE WATCH Plead Guilty and Got Eight Months.J.Paquin, of Cookshire, who pleaded guilty a few days ago to theft of a lady\u2019s gold watch from the store of Mr.Bailey, Cookshire, was sentenced to eight months in jail by Judge Mul- vena on Saturday.It appears that Paquin went into the store and asked to be shown some watches, Mr.Bailey placed a tray with a number of watches and while he was gone for a lamp so they might be seen to better advantage, Paquin stole one and put it in his hip pocket.After looking at the watches he bought a ring of the value of one dollar, and in putting his hand in his pocket for the money he drew out the watch.Mr.Bailey immediately recognised it and made an effort to get hold of it but the prisoner bolted.He was arrested some time afterwards, and the watch was found hidden underneath the sidewalk, STRIKE SETTLED.Hawkesburry, Ont., April 15.\u2014The strike of the mill bands of the Hawkesbury Lumber Company le set- tied to the satisfaction of both parties through the offices of Mr.W.L.Mac- Kinsie King, deputy minister of Labor.The men will resume work to-day on practically the same condition as before the strike.The recent settlement of the Fernte coal strike in Nova Scotia was directly due to the conciliatory intervention of the Dominion Department of Labor.A Missouri State Senator admitted taking bribes from a railway oom- paay\u2019s solicitor, and sald all the other Senators had dome se.| .BATTLESHIP Causes Death of Three and Injury of Five.A disastrous explosion occured on Taureday, while the vesse) was at terg- et practice in the gulf, says a despatch fiom }Pensacola, Fila.The for- demolished.and five injured, two seriously.Gunners\u2019 Mate Berry.The injured are: rucker.of the men were horibly mutilated.through the gun deck, and firemen who were at work below , ously injured.G.A.NcShane,Beebe Plain,Que HOOF GROWER AND SOFTENER to the public.I own a valuable horse whose hoofs get hard and cracked very badly, making him very lame and sore.I bought a box of your HOOF GROWER and after three applications I find him completely cured success.I am, yours respectfully, F.J.Wilkinson, Griffin, Que.the United Siates battieship Iowa | ward port 12-inch gon burst from the premature explosion of a shell, 12 feet of the piece outside the turret being Three men were killed The killed are: First-class Seaman Kiele;

last Friday night by Charles W.Bell, aged 23, a rejected suitor.One of the bullets harmlessly grased the left side of the young girl's head.The other entered her left aide.Grover Davis, a young man of about the same age as Sell, who was Miss French's escort, was shot in the left arm but not seriously hurt.Early Saturday morning the bullet was successfully extracted from Miss French\u2019s side.Against the wishes of the girl's mother, and with only the passive consent of her father, a farmer, Sell had been keeping company with Mabel for two years.She broke with him a couple of months ago and looked with favor on young Davis.The latter called at her home tonight and learned that she had accompanied a sister to an entertainment given in the Odd Fellows\u2019 hall by the East Manchester Grange.He retraced his steps and came in toward town about a mile.Sell had been keeping close watch on his former sweetheart and he was at the party.Davis was accompanied by a young friend, Clinton Bunker, of East High st.Davis seemed to have had a foreboding of trouble, for he asked Bunker to walk out to the French place with him and Miss French.At the conclusion of the entertainment when the trio started, Sell came out from the hall and called to the girl, who went back to him.They exchanged a few words, and he told wr so\u201d ! POUR sana Returning from Entertainment.\u201c WOUNDS ARE NOT DANGEROUS.her that he woald be nt the farm before her, and that there would be a warm reception for her new friends.The gir) walked along between Davis and Bunker.They had crossed the Somerville-at.trolley tracks and were well toward home, when Sell, with neither coat nor vest on, jumped out from behind a hedge.There was a brief parley.Sell said that he had them where he wanted them, and with a few words more he fired five shota.Two shots were directed at the girl, two at Joe French, a young man employed by her father, and who had just happened slong, and the fifth ag Davis, the bullet penetrating his coat, sweater and shirt and drawing a little blood.The young man took to cover at once, but Wm.Lavery, who had been sitting on a neighboring stoop with another young girl, followed Sell a considerable distance, pelting him with stones, but fearful ot what he presumed might be a remaining bullet.\u2019 Miss French was taken home and later brought to town to the Sacred Heart hospital.Sell was employed until a short time ago at a sash aud blind factory.He lost his place and had been looking for another.The French family came to town two years ago from Orford, and Mabel was graduated from a grammar school last June.Since that time she had remained at home with her mother.Bell has since been captured by the police.HAS FRIEND AT ROCK ISLAND.Miss French is a personal friend of Miss Edith Wells, now a waitress at the Rock Island House.KING AND POPE A Report That Visit Has Been Definitely Arranged.PRECEDENT IS WAIVED London, April 16th\u2014The correspondent of the Daily Mail claims to have received official information that a visit by King Edward to the Pope has been definitely arranged.It has been decided to depart from precedent, aud the Pope will receive King Edward who will proceed to the Vatican direct from the Quirinal.This extraordinary concession is the result of secret delicate negotiations, which were eventually determined through the personal influence of the Pope.Itis intended as & recognition of Great Britain's important relations with the Roman Catholic Church.THE POPE'S HEALTH.Rome, April 15\u2014The Pope received some pilgrims to-day but merely watched them file before him.He did not answer any addresses.The health of His Holiness is evidently breaking.His cough continues, his digestive or- @a0s are deranged, his appetite gone and he has a feeling of listiossness.Fits of feebleness are of frequent occurrence.There is no immediate danger, but great anxiety is felt over the Pontift\u2019s condition.The prelates who would perform the duties of the Pope in case of his death have been ordered to remain constantly in the room.Dr.Lapponi has positively vetoed the proposition for a papal celebration on April 28, when His Holiness will reach the \u2018years of St.Peter.\u201d Long after the trouble in Southern Europe has been arranged, the South American republics will doing business in revolutions at the old stand and under the same strenuous conditions.THE GREAT WEST Winnipeg Immigration Returns for March.A HUNDRED THOUSAND AMERICANS WILL SETTLE IN CANADA THIS YEAR.A despatch trom Winnipeg says: Of the 12,272 emigrants who arrived dor- ing the month of March 9,413 were males and the balance, 2,859, females.The destinations of the new arrivals were as follows: Manitoba, 5,038;
