Inspector against cold storage house firms in this city for penalties aggregating $1,163,315 the Court oi Appeals has just made a decision opening the.way for the collection of penalties for every bird found in their possession.Senator Armstrong, of Rochester, introduced a bill yesterday in the Legislature \u201cat Albany striking out of the game law the provision which permite game, protectors to search buildings in New York or Kings counties for the purpose of ascertaining whether the game laws are being violated.Jt passage would practically nullify the Yaw 1orbidding the possession of game bi during the closed season.The decision 18 a victory for the State in its contention thal any person in posees- sion of game during the closed season is hable to conviction for misdemeanour, to a fine of $80 for each offence and a penalty of &25 for each bird.Suits for the sums claimed will now be pressed.The cold storage men of this city formed a pool to fight the case, which has been in the courts since May, 1901, when a seizure of 2,100 birds, consisting of quail, partridge, wild duck and snipe, was made.The action is technically known as the \u201cPeople of the State of New York against Jacob V.Beatman and Howard R.Robin- zon.While the matter reached the Court of Appeals on questions of law whieh were raised by the attorney for the accused before the actions were tried.the decision settles the law in the case and sends the matter back to the trial term.with the determination that the complaint of the Niate constituted a suflicient cause of action.The proceedings were begun before Judge 'Gorman, in the Supreme Court, in Janu- \u2018ary.1902, when the defendants \u2018interposed \u2018a demurrer, declaring that the State could \u2018convict of a misdemeanour for violation of the game laws, but could not also proceed civilly to collect penalties.The law saye that for violation of the law a person may be found guilty of a miedemeanour, \u201cwith a penalty of $60.together with an additional penalty of $25 for each bird unlawlully tageny or possessed.\u201d .By its decision the Colirt df Appeals hana Fdeciared that penalties may also be collected.and the case will now be tried in the Supreme Court on the facts.The cold storage men hold that they were not the owners of the game, but that cer tain boxes were placed with them for refri- + geration.It is also contended that the birds were \u2018not killed in this State.but come from other States, where they were killed in «| open season.This contention \u201cwilt.it is said.not relieve anv person found in actual possession a of the birda, .Former Goverpor Black; who argued the l case.for the peSPle \u201cBefore the Court of Appeals, said vesterday \u201cthat he had been | expecting a

English trip.\u2014\u2014 The boxing bouts held in Harmony Hall, Ottawa, were witnessed by 400 people.They were lively exhibitions.characterized by pleaty of hard hitting.Larouche, of Ottawa, nocked

pounds.in a four round go, and Norman Henderson, of Buffalo, obtained a decision over Percy Sillis, of Ottawa, 115 pounds, in a four round bout.Alf.Allen was the referee.À meeting was held in Belleville for the purpose of forming a circuit composed of places where horse races will be held during the coming summer.Representatives from Napanee, Peterboro, Picton and Belleville were present and a Kingston gentlemau hearty support.It was decided to form a cireuit of Peterboro, Belleville, Napanee, Kingston and possibly Ottawa, and a continuous series of races will be held, etart- ing the first week of August.After racing in one place the horses will proceed direct to the next, and by arranging matters this way the expenses will be reduced materially.It is expected that there will be a ape- cial car to transport the horses from place to place.Frank Kramer, the champion of the sprinting cyclists, will sail for Efirope with Joe Nelson and his manager, February 28.Kramer Jesterda contracted to ride ten races in Europe during April and May, six of which will be in Paris and four outside of Paris.The champion will receive for his ten races more money than was ever paid to an American champion before.For some time there has been active competition for Kramer's services between the leadi tracks.of Paris, the Parc des Princes an the \u2018Buffalo track at Neuilly, a suburb of Paris, where Nelson will ride.Des Granges, of the former track.outbid Breyer and Coquelle by $1,000, and Manager Burnett decided to accept his offer.Kramer will do no tramng on this side, but will have fore he begins to race.He will meet all the best men of Europe in match races at all of the main cycling centres on the continent.Major Tav- lor is signed to ride at the opposition track, the Buffalo, as is also Owen Kimble, so that it is hardly probable that Kramer will meet his American \"rivals while abroad.In Ellegaarde, Henri Meyers, Frand and other European riders, he should find worthy opponents.BOUND THAT MONTREAL » SHALL HAVE BASEBALL FOR COMING SEASON.A Canadian League apd a New York State Franchise Mentioned.There are des te efforts being made to supply Mont Chere are in

The building is to be four stories and a basement.The members of the club-house committee, which bave charge of the erection of the building itself.are Messrs.W.L.Malt- by 1.L.Paton and E.Sheppard.With them.acting as a technical advisor, is associated Mr.A.\u20ac'.Hutchison.They are all ac.ive and pusbing gentle | men, men who when they undertake something go to work at it at once.and, there fore.it was vot long after they were ap- inted for this particular work that they sad started a competition among architects for plans.KEPT COMPETITION QUIET.For some reason or other they kept the matter very quiet, however, and nothing has been published about the matter till to-day.Six prominent firms of architecte are said to have submitted plans, and it is understood that the basis for all these were the rough plans which were drawn un by Mr.Maltby some time ago.and which were publ in the Star just before the last general uieeting, at which the liquor question was finally shelved.In the meantime the various sub-commit- tees looking after the.]ife members, with a view to obtaining their-support, have not been idle.5 DID NOT ABUSE MR.TARTE Mr.Cowan Never Heard Sir Wiltrid Speak Unkindly of ex-Minister of Public Works.The conjecture of Hon.Mr.Tarte that Mr.M.K.Cowan, M.P.for South Fssex, bad been misreported when he quoted Sir Wilfrid Laurier as saying the party was better off without the ex-Minister of Public Warks, was confirmed to-day by the urable gentleman receiving a despatch from Mr.Cowan, which reads as follows: \u2014 \u201cI have been misreported.I never heard &ir Wilfrid speak otherwise than kindly of you.\u201cI felt certain.\u201d remarked Mr.Tarte, \u201cthere was a mistake somewhere as I know Sir Wilfrid too well to believe he would sav anything of the kind.\u201d Mr.Tarte expects the coming season to be a most important one.\u201cWhy,\u201d be asked.\u201cdo pot the merchants of Montreal take more interest in the tariff question.They should do eo irrespective of politics.If we had pro protection for our indus tries our population would be doubled in- mde of ten years, and the millions of Canadian money now finding ite way to the Americans would remain with ua.To pot ith politics.There is no politics in this matter.\u201d LACHINE RAPIDS CO.HAS EXCELLENT YEAR\u2014 THE ANNUAL REPORT.The annua) report of the Lachine Rapids Hydraulic and Land Company and the 8tandard Light and Power Company is issued.The report was well received by the shareholders at the annual meeting held yesterday.Especially were those present impressed with the remarkably low percentage of operating expenses.On the street the report is spoken of as Leing a good one, and taken in connection with the great expansion of the other lighting companies\u2019 business during the past twelve months, indicates a very steady growth of the city.The only criticism of the Lachine report was by a well known financier, not connected with either of the rival companies, who sald as far as he could make out there was nothing of any amount written off for depreciation.This plan of writing oft for depreciation is one that is becoming well established amongst such industrial companies in the United States and England.but in this country the system of writing off is often deferred by young companies until they are well on their feet.It is the opinion of experts that nowhere in the Dominion is there a similar company managed with such strict economy as the Lachine company.The financial statement shows a gross revenue of $29,936.84, which was augmented by emergency revenue due to the Chambly dam accident to the amount of $36,027.44.making a total of $465,964.58.Discounts of $20.487.89 to customers reduced the total to $275.32.65.The operating expenses were $112.012.68.and the amount expended on bet- terments and repairs was $13.83L67.making a total of $125,844.25, leaving a balance of $240,682.44.After deducting interest charges and making provision for bad and doubtful debts there was left a net profit of $220,952.11.The addition of balance of profit and loss increased that amount to $228.- 733 Two half yearly dividends of 3% and 4 per cent.amounting to 8147,817.50, were paid.and the following contingent accounts were provided for: Written to credit of meter and arc lamp contingent account.$10.054.47;

bacteria in food and drink have been given in the Lancet.It has been found by these experiments that a mechanical shock has a germicide effect.The Lancet cites a case where lucter- 1al cultures were allowed to stand in the engine room of a large manufactory where there were incessant vibrations from the strokes of the engine.The result was that after four days the germs were destroyed and did not re-appear when the water was set in a quiet place.In other experiments violent mechanical agitation had a similar effect; the discovery may be of practical use as most known germicides are more or less poisonous to the human orgamsm.and therefore the destruction of the bacteria by the addition of powerful antiseptics is not practicable.Mail Service to Far North.Special to The Montreal

alleged to have been the muster mind in the coiossal frauds that netted a total of some $12,000,000, is quite a match for the magistrate who, according tn the French system of legal procedure, has been charged with the investigation of the \u201cCrawford case.\u201d At the outset of the examination very little was allowed to leak out, but detalls published at a later stage in the Paris papers give interesting glimpses of the woman who for more than a score of years deluded some hundreds of practical business men with stories of a fortune.as mys- terfous -as it was monumental, left to her daughter by two unknown American brothers.M.Leydet is the examining magistrate.At one session he referred to the marriages in the familles of the Humberts and the Daurignacs.He asked if these unions had not been organized by Mme.Humbert herself.for her own purposes\u2014that is to say.so that she might be able to use her rela- .tives jn carrying out her schemes.Thus, not long after she herself had married the son of a former Minister of Justice, Lucien Humbert, who was French Consul at Baku, where he died of fever, wedded Marie Louise Daurignac.and Alice Humbert became the wife of Emile Daurignac, who is a prisoner along with Mme.Humbert.CASH OUTWEIGHED LOVE.Madame Humbert replied that she had not made these matches.The young people saw each other frequently at family gatherings.fell in love with each other, and then married.\u201cIn my famlly,\u201d added the prisoner.\u201cas you can ascertain easily for yourself, money has never weighed down the scales of sentiment.\u201d Another question put by M.Leydet was about a legacy sald to have been left to Marie Louise Daurignac.who married Lucien Humbert, by a Spanish priest named Cardos.According to the deposition of this Marie Louise Daurignac, the Cardos legacy of $50,000 was bequeathed to her in 1881, but her sister Therese, Mme.Humbert.that is, laid her hands on it.As the magistrate pointed out, there was in the papers on flle- a letter written by Frederic Humbert to his wife, in which he advised her to abandon all claim to the legacy.as the priest's will was contested by his next of kin in Spain, and any law proceedings taken by Mme.Humbert would lead to disclosures and would entail enormous expense.At the same time Frederic proposed that in order to compensate Marte Louise Daurignac the family should give her a dowry of $30,000.That dowry, however.was never established, and Marie Louise did not recelve anything.Mme.Humbert, answering said that the Spanish legacy existed.and that Jt was left to her sister.\u201d When the bequest was renounced it was quite true that a compensation was arranged for Marie Louise, but as she was an extravagant person, who kept no accounts whatever, and allowed money to go through her fingers, her friends had to be careful.She had money from Mme.Humbert, however, and received a periodical allowance.\u201cThat is so,\u201d said M.Leydet; \u201cshe states herself that she received an annuity.\u201d \u2018What more do you want, then?\u2019 cried Mme.Humbert.\u2018She has admitted the fact, and I believe that poor Frederic and myself have been the dupes in the matter.We did our best for all our family, and wo have met with small gratitude for our generosity.\u201d - CORNERS MAGISTRATE.Pressed by the magistrate as to whether the Spanish legacy was not intended to be used as a bait with which to borrow money from others, Mme.Humbert exclaimed indignantly: : \u201cThat i8 a very subtle question of yours; it is fully worthy of your fertile imagination!\" M.Leydet suggested that if the original of the Spanish will could not be produced as a bait.a copy of it.attested by a notary, could have been shown to those from whom money was to be borrowed.The prisoner maintained her attitude of virtuous indignation and said that the insinuations of the magistrate were preposterous and absurd.At another period of the examination came an Interrogatory founded on thes depositions of a Mme.Delattre, taken down by M.Leydet in the course of his preliminary investigation of the Humbert cage.This Mime.Delattre declared that in the year 1882, when Mme.Humbert and her family occupied a very humble flat in the Rue Monge, she was applied to for money by them.At that time Therese Humbert talked very volubly about var- fous logacies bequeathed to her.She spoke of a great property, not in Spain, but in Portugal, worth 20,000.000f.which was to bé hers.Mme.Delattre lent Therese Hubert 10.0001.and had great trouble to get it\u201d back.; : \u201cCan you give me any illumination on these matters?\u2019 asked the Judge, rather facetiously.\u201cTell me why your castles | were at (hat time To Portgual.and not In Spal, and whit Was thst property -weith \u201c .\u2018Lever's Dry 20.000,000f.2 You also, I believe.borrowed from other persons as well as from Mme.Delattre.\u201d CASTLES IN SPAIN.\u201cIt is not true,\u201d answered Mme.Hum- bert.\u2018I never spoke about a legacy to Mme.Delagtre.1 was not in the habit of talking to everybody about my business.This Mme.Delattre, who taught girls to play the plano, had savings amounting to 6.000f.She wanted to go on a journey with her husband, and she asked me tn keep her money for her.1 did so, and now this is all the thanks she gives me.Thgre is another service rendered by me, and re- pald, as usual, by ingratitude.\u201d M.Leydet\u2014Let us get on now to some-, thing else.In January, 1882, you lcft the | Rue Monge fiat for the Rue Fortuny and went thence to tha House in the Avenue de la Grande Armee.What was that for?Mme.Humbert\u2014Simply because I had just given birth to my dear little Eve and I wanted more room.M.Leydet\u2014I do not think that was quite the reason.The removal is a very important matter for my purposes, for ft coin.\u2019 cided with the nomination of M.Humbert as Minister of Justice.thought at the time that, in yrder to insure the success of \u2018your ambittous schemes, jt would be advisable to live in a fashionable district and to have fine rooms for reception purposes.You could not act the grand lady in the Rue Monge, you know.It is not an aristocratic locality.The ncighbourhood of the Bols de Boulogne is better for grandiose purposes.Mme.Humbert\u2014The appointment of M.Gusfave Humbert as Minister of Justice made no difference to me.Everybody knows that the position of Minister is unstable.I myself would Infinitely prefer to have a nice berth az a judge or a law official, with full prospect of a permanent post, Then, monsieur, 1 think you lay too much stress on our removal.You seem to forget that as my husband became \u2018Chef de Cabinet\u2019 of his father.when the latter was a Minister, we could have gone quite easily to the Ministry of Justice and occupied comfortable rooms there.It was I myself who objected to that.I did not want to go to live at the Ministry.HAS LIVED FOR 200 YEARS.Bt.Petersburg,

Desertions\u2014Officials Consider the Incident Closed.Special to The Montreal Star.New York, February 13.\u2014The correspondent of the New York Tribune in London cables: The Guards\u2019 controversy now includes as a side issue a remarkable increase in desertions among the non-commissioned offis cers and men of the Scots Guards.This is attributed to overwork and bullying.If the charges are founded, it will be an open question, whether subalterns who are H- censed to flog one another are not brutal disciplarians to the men.There is a cur Trent report that when the Grenadier Guards\u2019 subalterns execute the sentences of the mess room court-martials, the victima, whether the sous of peers or not, are stripped, howtcd upon a whipping post, and flogged.The .prestige of these regiments cannot be restored uutil the truth is known about the methods of raging.London, February 13.\u2014 Commenting on the scandal in regard to flogging in the Grenadier Guards a legal authority points out that seven subalterns of the (Grenadiers are liable to be imprisoned for two years as the result of the charge of Lord Bel- havens son for violent .and aggravated assault.It iz understood that the young man fainted under the pumshment.\u201d The ofli- ciala of the War Office say that inasmuch ax they have retired Col.Kinloch on half pay they regard the incident as closed until it 1s raised in Parliament next week.Mr.Winston Spencer Churchill, M.P., in a speech at Newcastle, said he had every reason to believe that the Grenadier Guards\u2019 affair was as bad as was reported.Those inplicated in the brutality to the subal- Lerns ought to be tried by court martial.\u201cRagging\u201d in the army.he declared, would never be gut rid of so long as the social coterie element remained.Mr.Churchill urged that this element could be abolished by an interchange of officers of the various regiments.the same as 1s done in the case of naval officers.MR.HENRI MASSON, The

Legislature on Thureday the speech from the throne read in part as foilowe:\u2014 \u201cMy Government intend to press upon the Dominion Government the necessity of : obtaining the absolute transference, for ad- mumstration by this Province, of all its uneold school .\u201cIt is with regret that I announce that the Federal Government refuse to rectify their retroactive legislation in the reduc- \u2018tion of interest to five per cent.upon the unpaid purchase money secured, under executed agreements for sale act, bearing 6 er cent., without consultation with the rovince, to our detriment and against our wishes.The Federal Government being trustees for this Province in regard to this matter, my Government have presented a claim for the loss caused by this reduction of interest.and you will be asked to endorse their action in that respect and convince the Federal authorities that their action in refusing to grant our request does not meet with your approval.\u201d

requiring the extension of the Government system of railways into the Northwest, preferably by the acquisition of existing lines.Another resolution recited the iev- ances of shippers in regard to the railway blockade, stating among other things that the Joss last season to farmers and others occasioned by the shortege of rolling stock amounted to much more than the entire cost of rolling stock required.Ex-Mayor Alexander Macdonald.wbhole- male grocer, Winnipeg, was elected resident.and Arthur Pottee, M.P.for Winnipeg, à vice-president.The civic reception committer of the Ottawa City Council

Com- mission, STATEMENTS WERE FALSIFIED Touches on Incident of Railway President Crying Because Children Joined Union.Philadelphia, Pa., February 13.\u2014President Baer of the Reading Railway, closed his argument on behalf of the coal operators and coal rvads before the coal strike commission shortly before one o'clock yesterday, after speaking two hours and twenty minutes.At two o'clock Mr.Darrow took the floor on behalf of the miners.He spoke extemporaneously.Much had been said on the other side, he vontinued, and most of it has been vituperation.He did not apologize for the mistakes of the men.but for their abusers to call them criminals and charge them with many offences that can be laid at the doors of the operators was, he declared, uncalled for.He pictured tha suffering which the strikers and their families underwent during the summer, told of the refusal of the operators to arbitrate until after man had been placed against man, family against family, and class against class.and that after all the suffering and sacrifices had been gone through with, the mine owners did what they should have done nine months ago.RECOGNITION OF UNION.Much has been said.he argued, that re cognition of the union is not an issue before the commission.If the \u201cagents of the Almighty\u201d do not want to recognize the union Jet it go at that, he said, because they will bump up against it again, and in a few years they wil recognize it then when they see st We are here asking for more money, independent of political economy.he said, for shorter hours, which has nothing to do with socialism or anarchy, except that every demand made by the poor of the rich is taken to be socialistic.He discussed the social and other advantages enjoved by the owners of the coal mines.They have employed, he said, expert accountants, \u201cdoctors of figures,\u201d and oth- are who bave deceived the operators.and tried to deceive the commission.He said Mr.Baer's pnublic statements of figures were, 30.40 and 50 per cent.beyond the facts which really exist.Mr.Darrow went on to tell of the operators refusing to give the men more money, and said: \u201cAs a consequence of this act, 147.000 men lay down their tools of trade, and we have 750,000 men, women and chil dren reduced to want and starvation for mix long months.We have seen the President of the United States appoint the commission to settle the difficulty and then this afternoon, in the last hours of the proceeding, the man more responsible than any other, comes before this commission and save he will do exactly that which these men demanded nine months before, and which they.in their blindness, their ignorance, and their stupidity, refused.UNION HERE TO STAY.- Why did not Mr.Baer go to Mr.John Mitchell nine months ago, aë he came to this commission to-day?\u201cYou can do just as you please about recogmzing the union.If you do not recognize Mi, it is you are blind and vou want to bump against it some more; that is all.It is here to stay, and the burden is on you, and not upon us.There is neither the power nor the disposition in this court, I take it, to destroy the union.And if these agents of the Almighty cannot see the union they bad better blunder along still a few more years, and possibly after a while they will know it is here and recognize it themselves.\u201d Passing to the ,wage statements handed to the commission, Mr.Darrow said the operators have been deceived by their ac- countantas and that when Mr.Baer informed the Senators of this state, the President of the United States, and the commassion of how much wages his men were getting.he gave them information at least 30 or 40 or 50 per cent.beyond any facts that really exi \u201cIf, at the end of all this time and labour, he js willing to give us 5 or 10 per cent.upon the figures that he says correctly represent our earnings\u2019 Mr.Darrow said, \u201cwe will be very glad indeed to take it.From the beginning of this strike until the end, whatever you may say about whether the miners knew what they were getting or not, these operators have never given out a correct figure or m a staie- ment that would stand the light of day for a single moment, when they talked to the public.\u201d DANGERS OF MINING, Ccunsel then spoke of the skill required by the anthracite miner, anid the dangerous ness of his occupation.He brought in review the crippled, and blind miners who took the witness stand, and called the commission's attention to the fact that mix out of every thousand are killed in the mines each year.\u201cFive bundred dollars & year is a big price for taking your life and vour limbe m your hand and going down into the earth tb dig up coal to make somebody eisc rich,\u201d be said.\u201cI have had a computation made covering every company that has filed schedules with this commission, and in Mr.Baer\u2019s company only about a third of the men got over four hundred.dollars in the year 1001.\u201d : \u2018 Speaking of the alleged fact that 58 per cent.of the Reading's men received only a year, Mr.Darrow exclaimed: \u201cGod that the conditions in this country end in this mining region are not so good that men will be content to sit down and earn $300 a year.\u201d i Counsel then analyzed the statements of the other companies, and said that as near as he could make it out, the fi were at least 10 to 15 per cent.too high, and said the wages paid by the Reading were the lowest in.the.gion.DISCUSSES CHILD LABOUR.In discussing the child labour question, Ar.Darrow said: \u201cIf the work of this commission does not result in getting rid of the abominable.disgraceful evil, in Penusyilvagia, then 1 think the people may well sey chat it has been a failure.You may not rid of it at ence, but no man pdt {bat could make an excuse fog S.DAVIS & SONS Genuine Clear Havana Cuban made Cigars 3 for 25 cents \u2018 to 3 for 50 cents Retailed at BAD BLOOD.Miss Mary M, Allan,

Burdeck Bitterc for constipation apd found a complete curs .\u201cLet the GOLD DUST twins do your work\u2019\u2019 37 1 it.This custom has grown up in the state of Pennsylvania because there is money in it and the industries of Pennaylvama are dependent upon it.The evidence in this case shows that every single one of these industries is run by the labour of these children.\u201cWhen these railway presidents were finally called to book before the President of the United States, one of them shed tears because the United Mine Workers allowed these boys to join their organization, because as it was claimed they taught th poor babes doctrines of anarchy and disobedience to law.This railway president shed tears because (he United Mine Workers were spoiling the souls of these r children, and yet he was willing to take the earnings of these poor children that he and his family might be richer because of their toil.These babes know their friends.There is not one of these children natural instincts that he does not know who loves him.There is not one that would not run from a railway president to the open arms of John Mitchell: and they are right.I bave no doubt the railway president loves children.Neither have 1 any doubt that the wolf loves mutton, These men make a living out of these children; the Jittle children get $165 a year.\u201d Mr.Darrow closed hy saying: \u201cIf these gentlemen were stupid enough to let their mines fill up with water rather than grant this eight-hour day, all right.But keep still about it.After you have done it, the more you talk of it, the more contemptible it makes you look in the eyes of all men, who think.\u201d .SMELTERS SUFFER BY CROW\u2019S NEST STRIKE.Toronto, February 13.\u2014Mr.Elias Rogers managing director of the Crow's Nest Coal Company, was seen yesterday in reference to the miners\u2019 strike.He said the men did not go to work W y, although he was informed that on Monday night they voted by an overwhelming majority against a strike.About two thousand men were thrown out of employment at the mines by the etrike, and hundreds of others would be affected.All the emelters in British Columbia were supplied with coke by the company, and these would be forced, he said, to shut down One demand of the men was for an in crease of 25 cents.That would be conaid- ered, but the smelters were very strongly protesting againet the present price of coke, and the company was already à , osing mone in supply them.The com; y t x y Was anxious to work in harmony with its employes.\u201d No general reduction in wages bad been made.B.C \u2018ernie, B.C., February 13.\u2014The strik of the coal miners has been threatened for some time, and the grievances of th dre set forth a follows : © men - Cutting of prices at Morrissey

for their protection, hence the fifth complaint that the Crow's Nest Company will Hot recognize the association.+ HAVE JOINED THE UNION.South McAlester, I.T., February 13.\u2014 Thirty-five bundred

motion, having for its object the establishment in the diocese of a branch of the Church Social Union, was also lost.The motion was introduced by Mr.Pratt.who urged its adoption because of the great

FINES Case of Four Theatre Palais Royal Performers.THE SHOWS WERE INDECENT Severe Rebuke From Mr.Recorder Poirier\u2014$50 or Six Months in Prison for Each.It 1» many a day since the Recorder's Court held such a crowd of people as that which jammed into it to-day to heer !the case of the four Theatre Palais Royal artists, who were charged with giving an indecent performance.Their names are Jane Meissonier, known wrofessionallv as Pomponnette: Geo.Dane.Jeury Delville and Grenier Domer.The pieces were performed early last week, and were stopped hy the appearance of the police on the scene on Wednesday night.There was a general belief that the accused would put up a big fight and narrow the question down to one of opinion as to the immorahty of \u201cParadise\u201d and \u201cMoins Cinq.\u201d the plays produced.They decided.however.not to light, and when the vase was called today they at once pleaded guilty.Mr.Recorder l'oirier Was on the beuch, and he did not spare them in the speech which preceded a sentence of tifty dollars cach or six months in gaol.He said: \u201cThe offence with which vou are accused and of which you have pleaded guilty 1s punishable, under article 2777, of the Crim- -inal Code, by a fine of fifty dollars or six monts\u2019 imprisonment, with or without hard labour, and by both at once.\u201cParadise\u201d and \u2018Moins Cinq.\u201d the two pièces in which you have respectively committed these indecent actions, are manifestly immoral from start to finish.The profession which you exercise would lead ua to suppuse that you lave enough intelligence and education to understand what vou are doing when you violate the laws of decency on the stage mm trying to amuse the public with compositions which have no iterary merit.and which teach adultery and_ concubinage, and which ridicule the \u2018nstitutions upon which all society is based.\u201cYou are accomplishing in the midst of our population a deleterious and cursed work.Money which you earn in this wav should burn your fingers, and the trade to which jou devote yourseli should make vou blush with shame.Unfortunately vou are not the only ones engaged in this work or the perversion of vouth.AUTHORITIES MUST ACT.\u201cI hope that the authorities will he able fore long to put a check upon immoral spectacles given elsewhere and tuke away from you the misvrable excuse that yon are doing no worse than others.It will be the duty of the authorities to act against all those who encourage immoral shows and become acromplives to their offence.\u201c1 will repeat to you what I said in à similar case some vears ago.\u2018It is nceessary for goad citizens to keep youth awav trom wicked theatrical performances and to preserve it by all possible means from the dangers of lascivious songs and immoral discourses,\u201d \u201cThe artikts who come to us from France are sure of the sympathy of our population.but for the Jove of art.for the glory of their great country.for the honour of the institutions in which they liave heen trained, let them avoid all that tends to corrupt the young nenple of our country.\u201cLet us borrow from the cities of the old continent what they have that is goc:l, but let us not go and pervert our upright youth with ideas of art and liberty which are the negation of the beautiful and ot the good.and produce all kinds oi disorders.\" \u201cYour defender bas induced you ta plead guilty and he has asked for vou that the court be as clement as possible.On the other hand.1 have been told that vou intend to abandon that spermes of entertainments.I take all those things into consideration.and.simply condemn you to the fine without cost, that 1s 830 each, or six months in gaol.\u201d + NO SUSPENSION ON STREET RAILWAY SINCE BIG

THE NEW BRIDGE AT BOUT DE L'ILE.Work on the Bout de l'Ile bridge is in full blast since last Tuesday.The W.J.Pou- pore Company, Limited.the big-contractars, have taken over the contract for the substructure from Messrs.F.C.Dunn and Co, of New York, who have from the Chateau- guay and Northern Railway Company the contract for the whole line of railway from Bout de l'Île to Joliette.Their contract calls for the handing over of the aub- structure by October lst of this year.This 18 the best season for that kind of work.and the l'oupore firm is hustling to get as nich us possible done before the ice breaks up, as work can be done at this time more rapidly.and at far less expense than during the open season.The new Lridge will have twenty-one piers, but the water is not very deep at that point, and the work will be carried on rapidly.As the railway work will be done during next summer.it 1s probable that by the autumn the trains wil be able to croes the bridge and run through Aseomption county, and on to .Joliette, thus affording an entrance to the city fer the Great Corthert Railway, and possibly alwo for the Canada Atlantic, if that road enters, as it appears likely to do, into the combination now existing between the Canadian %orthern and the Great Northern of Canada.In that case a station at the East End of the city will become a pressing neceswi- ty, and the location of this station in said to be in the vicinity of Moreau and Stada- rona streets.Mr.J.P.Mullarkey, managing director of the Chateauguay and Northern, when asked about the matter, stated that he was not in a position to speak as vet of the plans of his co y for the construction of a station in thin city.TURKEY AND BULGARIA, Mount There is No Danger of An Immediate Conflict.Special to The

Ottawa with reference to the insurance of church property.and to appoint a committee on the same subject.The policies un the church property within the diocese.he said, amounted to $743,000, and the mover understood a vom- any was willing to offer the two \u2018dioceses avourable terms on them.SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF THE YOUNG.An interesting discu-sion arose out of the report of the committee appointed te look - after the spiritual needs of voung men and Young women within the diocese.The report was presented by Rev.Rural Dean Baunders.who remarked that many young people were annually heing lost to ihe church because or the talure otf clergymen lo provide them.when moving elsewhere, with commendatory letters and letters of introduction to the clergymen to whose Tespective parishes they were going.He suggested that a form of commendatory letter should be drawn up by the Archbishop for the use of the clergy.and that copies of the saine should be kept at the Nvnod office for the convenience of \u2018clergymen.Rev.Dyson Hague.in the course of a apirited address, blamed the city churches for the exodus ot young churchmen and young churchwomen to other communions.He knew of many who had been chilled hy the failure of the city lany to extend to them a welcome when they entered the latter's churches.They then went to other churches, where they found the welcome they had failed to find in the churches of their own communion.A few younf people, of course, were such strong churchmen that even an excess of hospitality on the part of the city laity could not force them to join other communinns, \u201cbut,\u201d said Mr.Hague.\u201cit requires a great amount of churehmanship to successfully resist a hearty band-shake from tbe laymen of other denominations.The hand-shake and the welcomes are the things that usually coun: with the young men and young women, an\u2018 the hospitable church is usually the church of the young.\u201d \u2019 KEEPING STRANGERS STANDING.Rev.Mr.Pratt deprecated the habit existing in some churches of keeping strangers standing at the door until divine service began before showing them to seats.He thought that if the laity holding pews could arrange with the vergers of their respective churches that one or two or three people should be actommodated in each of ther ws at the Sunday services much would accomplished in the wav of removing the stigma of whospitality that now rested on several of the city churches.The Dean urged that the country clergy should follow their parishioners up for a few months, and see that they did connect themselves with a church, and Rev.E.McManus threw wome doubt an the utility of the letters commendatory.as be had few delivered to him.Mr.George Hagne pcint- ed out the extreme importance of the matter, as often the country folk.when they came to town drifted away not enly from the Church of England.but «ll religious observances.It was decided that Mis Grace be asked to draw up a letter commendatory, to he used by the clergy, and that the country rectors he enjoined to inform by letter the committee on the subject.the city missionary or some city clergyman of the removal of any of his people to Montreal.SYNOD EVERY TWO YEARS, It was decided to hold Synad every twn years, instead of annually.This will need confirmation at the next session, and will not affect the Synod of 1904.Hia Grace was also requested tn appomt a committee to make arrangements for the holding of a church conference or congress in the city within the next twelve months.The Rev.I.T.Trebitsch mtroduced a and profitable throughout.motion to the effect that the supervision of the mission to the Jews throughout Canada abould form part of the work oF the ine society \u2018the Chure = land in Canada.and thst the M.8.ch should be asked to supervise the present mission ta Jews in Montreal.; In speaking to his motion, Mr.Trebitech made a speech that simply electrified the synod.e alluded to the history of the Jewish race, to the great t it had played in the civilization of the world, to the fact that it had given to the human race 1 a Messiah, a Saviour, a Divine Redeemer.He referred to the great men that Judaism had brought forth in every age: Abraham Isaac, David, Solomon, Paul.Peter.and many others.He spoke of the manner in which converted Jews, in our own day, had demonstrated to the world the truth of Christianity.He alluded to the prominent places occupied by the Jews in the world to-day.And he urged the necessity of the Canadian Jewish mission being directed from Canada.as the English authorities could not understand Canadian needs.He showed its necessity by the assertion that in ten vears the Jews would have trebled in the city.and would occupy positions of the utmost importance in the business and professional world.Now they have lost their God, but he assured the Synod.speaking with evident emotion.that he knew from personal experience how deeply they would love the Gaspel when they had learnt it, and bow great would be their services to the Church of Christ when they were converted.As for the question of expense, he guar anteed he could raise the money ail right, and in three months, by a tour throughout the Dominion, he would obtain the entire cost of the iwo years\u2019 work.The motion was carried, and with the adoption of the report on deceased merm- bers the house adjourned.RESULT OF BALLOTING, The result of the balloting wns announced during yesterday afternoon\u2019s session of Synod.lt was as follows: General Svnod clen- cal delegates, Dean Evans, Rev.G.Osborne Troope, Archdeacon Naylor, Rev.E.I.Rexford.Archdeacon Norton, Archdeacon Davidson, Rev.Principal Hackett, Archdea- eon Ker.Substitutes, Rev.Dyson Hague, Rev.Prof.G.Abbott Smith, Rev.Rural Dean Smith, Rev.Rural Dean Robinson.Lav delegates\u2014Chancellor Bethune, A.F.Gault, Dr.Alexander Johnson, Senator Owens, Dr.I.H., Davidson, Charles Garth, Richard White.Lansing Lewis.Substitutes, H.J.Mudge, Dr.T.P.Butler;

Mr.Corriveau\u2019s plan is an ambitious one, involving the construction of a jfourteeu- foot water connection between the St.Lawrence River, at Montreal, and the head of Jake Champlain, to be known as the Lake Champlain and St.Lawrence Ship Canal.The company will also endeavour Lo secure the right to extend another section.from the lower limit of the lake to tidewater on tHe Hudson.In his opinion.the building of these twu sections, and the counection with the already completed St.Lawrence fourteen-foot waterway, will render the improvement of the Ere Canal unnecessary.At the same time the port of Montreal will get the great bulk of the lake traffic; and the Dominion Parliament granted the, charter te build the short connecting channel with the expectation that a great part of the trade with New England could be diverted from the Erie route to pas through Montreal.PROVISIONS OF CHARTER.The charter which was awarded at the Jast session of Parliament provides that the canal shall have a depth of not less than nine feet and a width of not less than 80 feet at the bottom.If carried out as proposed, it will have immediately a depth of 14 feet, corresponding with that of the St.Lawrence canals.Its Jength is 18 1-4 miles.The present connection between Lake Champlain and the St.Lawrence is by the Richelieu river, which is its outlet, and the Chambly canal.\u2018the oldest of the Canadian artificial waterways.The Chambly canal reaches the St.Lawrence at Sorel, 45 miles below Montreal, and is a seven-foot waterway, with locks 18 feet wide.It was built.when the rea- rt to which access was desired was Que- .Jt makes the route to the St.Lawrence 105 miles long.This distance of free river navigation is reduced 83 miles by the proposed canal from 8t.John's to Montreal.Arrangements are.made in the plans to increase the depth of the Lake Champlain and St.Lawrence ship canal to 21 feet.when the Georgian Bay canal is built, as it will really be an extension of that canal to Lake Champlain end through that lake, and the old Champlain canal connecting Whitehall and Troy, to the Hudson river and New York.INTERVIEWED MR.CORRIVEAU.The New York Post devotes upwards of a column to the project and to an interview with Mr.Corriveau, who ia now in that city.Regarding Montreal, Mr.Corri- veau 1s quoted as saying: \u201cOur city can get the great bulk of the wheat trade from the North-West, both in Canada and the United States,\u201d say the far.wighted citizeng of Montreal.Why?\u201cThe distance to the great markets is so much shorter that.if facilities are provided, which we intend to provide, a shipper cau not afford to go to any other port.\u201d Ac cording to an official map issued by the (Canadian Minister of Public Works, the distances over the Montreal route from the North-West to Liverpool, and over the Erie route to New York (the most favourable route for the haulage of grain in the United States) compares as follows: Via Montreal.Via Erie Canal Miles, Miles.From Duluth .3941 4,393 From Milwaukee .3.7 4.251 Fram Chicago .3856 4.308 From Fort William.3,835 4 287 WELSH ANTHRACITE MAY BE IMPORTED.Manufacturers\u2019 Association Decides to Endeavour to Encourage This Line of Trade.The Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Asmociation yesterday afternoon discussed the question of encouraging the consumption of Welsh anthracite coal in Canada.Mr.Walter J.Phelps brought the matter up.remarking that it bad given great satisfaction this winter.He was informed it could be obtained ordinarily at lower prices than American anthracite.Continuing, he said: \u201cIt is estimated that the city of Mont- rea] buys 300,000 tons of coal in a year, aud millions are being spent in the United States by Canada for coal alone, which might just as well be sent to Great Britain, and then we would be sure, in the course of time, to get a large reciprocal trade therefrom, \u201cI feel matisfied that if a large number of.our citizens let it be known that they would be ready to buy Welsh anthracite for next winter, we could get several coal dealers to handle this article, for with such backing they would be willing to take it up and enap their fingers at the foal operators from the other side of \u201che ne._ Mr.Phelps\u2019s views were endorsed.and it was agreed the importation of Welsh anthracite should be encouraged.The Executive decided to appoint a for- wa agent in Montreal as well ag a .John NB.and Halifax, N.S.oat Bt Mr.R.Munro, in speaking of the delegation to Ottawa, said he felt confident a the Government.THEY POINT OUT NECESSITY OF IMPROVING \u2019 COUNTRY ROADS.The Wardens and Mayors of the tw counties of Chambly and Vercheres met yesterday at the Chambre de Commerce, in this city, under the \u2018presidency of Mr.Etienne Blanchard, M.L.A.for Ver- cheres.Mr.Lucien Huot acted as secre- ug and presented a petition representing the system of repairing rosds in this Province was faulty.In this petition the vecessity for improving the roads is point- éd out, and it is shown that the cost is FE for private ies to assume.it erefore prayed t the ernment the Province shall contribute one-third, and give the municipalities the power to contract loans at long terme to meet the necessary cost.Am those who were present and spoke in favour of the movement were Hon.J.Israel Tarte, wbo pointed out the great advantages that would accrue to the farmers through improvement in roads;
