la the youthful Britishers, and we heart ig agree with one of his favourable Epglishreritics who in constrained to say, that when Mr.Kipling writes quietly and fraternally.his counsel] cannot but be effective, but we must confess to feeling little pleasure in approaching him when the impulse to read a sharp lesson is upon him.We do not admire his detached and superior attitude when he acolds his countrymen.We quoted above a disagreeable line from \u201cThe Islanders,\u201d and we hoid that that poem would have had far more effect, if ite an- thor had edopted- a sympathetic method Father than one of aloof dwapproval.As has heen judiciously remarked.to say \u201cvou!

assertiens of those who assume a night to criticise.The London \u201cSaturday Review.\u201d for some reason or other.has always disliked Mr.Kipling, and has often expressed its opin- lon in vigorous.if not vulgar, terms.In a roview- af \u201cThe Five Natiens,\u201d it has devoted a column and a half to prove its.assertion that wbateve: else Mr.Kipling may be.he 18 at any rate not a pot, amd the numerous almirers of the satirical journal will, of course, as Macaulay says, be \u201cvery materially influenc- el even by its -Insupported assertions.Againat its dictuni we may quot: the final words vf + notice mm the Lordcn \u201cAcademy \u201d *\u201c \u201cThe Five Nations\u2019 :s a work conspicioux among all books by clean and clear thought.\u201cigorous expres- son, and imperiairstic Jervar, and con- spicuons among Mr.Kipling's books by its seriousness, and maturity nf outlook.An American critic, who does not share the strange prejudices of the \u2018Saturdav Review,\u201d writes: \u201cFor ncarly a decade each of Rud ard Kiphng's poms on Hs appearua~e has procceded to \u2018encircle the globe,\u201d as Daniel \\ehster put it, with as rich regularity + the British drumbeat, an! to spread the same mes rage\u2014\u2018 the martial airs of England.\u2019 As the title of his new volume implies, the oet still aspires to ming the songs of Preater England, and )t must be owned that the chastened spirit in which he does it is very fine\u201d As the volume has reached us rather late, and most of our readers Lave by this time formed their own opinions of it.we refrain from attempting to criticise it; but we cannot refrain rom quoting from Dr.Harry Thurston Pcck.one or two seutences which are entirely in Accordance with our hehef.He writes: \u2018Here 1s Rud- vard Kipling, unique among all living writers, following in the footsteps of no predecessor, and defying imitation.The most careless stanza that he pens, the very diamond dust that at any time he chances tn let fall, ® caught up eagerly bv all who speak or read our English tongue, and in the space of a single day it is known throughout the four quarters of the glabe.Nn other poet in his own life time ever had whole nations for his audience; and no other poet in modern times ever struck so unerringly a responsive chord in men and women who in all else are separated, and indifferent to one another.His is the spirit of poetry itself, and the man who has the secret of it 18 a poet, not for his contemporaries only\u2014not for the hour and day alone\u2014but for all humanity, and for all time.\u201d Wa may contrast this aln- cere belief of the Columbia Professor with the \u201cSaturday Review's\u2019 assertion that whatever else Mr.Kipling may be, he 8, at any rate, not a poet.The Adventures of Gerard.By A.Conan Doyle.Illustrated.(Toronto: G.N.Morang & Co.)

Editor of the Montreal Star: Sir,\u2014\" Take away employment from our labour, or drive it from Ms aocustomed pursuits, and ts power vf consumption ls at an end.\u201cA well employed and prosperous community can buy and consume.\u2018An fli-employed community cannot buy and consume.This is the solution of the whole matter; and the whole science of political economy has not one truth of half so much Importance as this.\u201d \u2014Danlel Websters Speech, U.8.Scnate, March 3rd, 1840, on \u2018General Effects of Protection.\u201d It is not with a little interest that I have watched the hard fight the Canadian wouvollen manufacturers have put up for the past four years, trying to withstand the competition of the British manufacturers, aud I am not surprised at the conditions that now prevail; but rather am 1 surprised that our Government is not alive to the importance of protecting this branch of Canadian industry as it should be.Some of my Lib- erul friends will ask, Why cannot they compete?1 say friends, for 1 have always supported the Liberal administra- tiun, both with my vote, work, and what little influence 1 had.Still 1 am honest enough, 1 hope, to my own convictions to say when I think a matter is wrong.And 10 such friends 1 wtl! say, that the | Canadian milis pay 1-3 more in wages i for the same work as is paid in the British mills; that alone should warrant | the giving of sufficient protection; but I that is not all, we have also a cold climate, that necessitates the use of more fuel than is required in British mills.and all in all our cost of production is higher than that of our strong competitors.Such being the case, I ask why should we give them a preference In the tariff?The grantmg of a preference is all very well from a loyal standpoint, providing that in doing 80 we do not disable ourselves, and charity always did begin at home.If we are to become a great nation, and there is no reason why we should not.we must have all the manufactories possible, and many of them are made possibly only by adequate protection.If any industry needs more protection at the present time, ft is the Canadian woollen mills, for they are in about as bad a condition as it is possible to be, without being in the hands of the receiver.Retain for our Canadian mills the home market by giving them more protection and the result will be that the manufacturers will be encouraged to so thoroughly equip their mills, that in a short time, by the increased production, they will greatly reduce their cost, so much so that they will quite easily compete with the manufacturers of any country; thus the consumer would pay no more for his clothing than now.and the employes in the mills wiil not have to leave Canada to make a living.It was my good fortune to come in contact with the Minister of Customs, on the 15th of August, on the train at Toronto.and our conversation was almost wholly concerning the woollen mills.The honourable gentleman questioned me very closely about the condition of the various mills, and he remarked that they had all been busy.which was quite true; but at what cost.! know positively that for some time past they have not been making a new doilar for an old one, and they have stood it as long ae they could.Now we find them closed down mMmdefinitely or running half time, Just because they feel that they can no longer afford\u2019'to sell goods below the cost of production.They did reasonably hope that the powers that be would give them relief; but in this respect they have been absolutely refused.Apart from the mill owners, this is a very sad state of affairs for the employes of the mills, who have to depend on their daily wages for the support of themselves and their families; how they are to live this winter is hard forete}l.James A.Garfield said: \u2018Real political issues cannot be manufactured by the leaders of political parties, and real ones cannot be evaded by political parties.The real political issues of the day declare themselves, and come out of the depths of that deep which we call public opin- Is there any reason why three millions of Canadians or descendants of Canadians.a number equal to one half of the whole population of Canada, are living in the United States?There must be a reason, for does not cause and effect apply to all results?The reason is obvious: that country has the highest measure of protection, and under it they have prospered as no other country has in so short a time.Are their woollen mills closed down or running half time?No, they are not: but rather they are seeking more help: and, what is more, they are getting it from our Canadian mills; thus our Joss !s their gain, and we can ill afford to educate our people for the use of the United States or any other country.If I may again be permitted to quote that learned man, Daniel Webster, who said in Buffalo, in 1833: \u2018The protection of American labour against the Injurlous competition of foreign labour, so far.at least, as respects general handicraft production, is known historically to have been one end designed to be obtained hy establishing the constitution; and this ob- ject, and the constitutional power (Pro- right earline on the clo\\es-dissolve it in wane before putting mlesrbut there is a d get the Without R and Withor nt pour the Pearline is anda wrong way the t alte.bbi \u2014\u2014 tection) to accomplish it, ought never in any degree to be surrendered or compromised.\u201d And how truly they have stecred the ship of state by that compass, which bids fair to make them within \u20ac short time the greatest commercial nation in the world.My reader: 1 would ask you to think over these figures, which were taken from the Monthly Bulletin of the Department of Trade and Commerce, published by the Ottawa Government: During the year ending June, 1902 we imported from Great Britain 33,341,737 worth of cloths, coatings, overcoatings, tweeds, etc., and for the same period ending June, 1906, we Imported of the same goods, $4,464,349 worth, an increase of 2 per cent.over 1902 Now, note that the July, 1908, report shows we imported $603,845 worth of the same goods above mentioned, against $371,721 worth in July, 1902, an increase of over 6 per cent.ls there any wonder our mills are closed down?The people are certainly not buying any more goods than formerly.and the wages are lost to our workingmen.Had these goods been \u2018made in Canada\u201d over $1,000,000 more would have been earned by employes of the Canadian woollen mills, thus increasing their purchasing power to that extent.and it would have been ultimately divided among the Canadian farmers, artisans and tradesmen, in pur- chesing the necessities of life.And not only does it affect the mill workers, but also the soap and chemical manufacturers in Canada, and last, but not least.the farmer who grows wool will soon feel the affects resulting from the closed-down mills.- It cannot be denied but that trade in general for the past six years has been very good, but it has been so the world over.The question is, Have we enjoyed full measure of this prosperity?I think not: for the prosperity of a country ts judged by hs exports, and not by tts imports.Our total exports for the year ending June, 1903.only show an increase of 7 pet cent.Over 1902, while vur imports show an increase of 1444 per cent.The increase in trade is on the wrong side.When labour is employed, labour can consume; when it is not employed, It cannot consume.FREDERICK W.McBETH.St.Pierre, Miquelon and Newfoundland.To the Editor or the Montreal Star: Sir.\u2014The advice tendered by Senator Lodge, in the United States Senate.for the purchase by the United States Government of the Islands of St Pierre and Miquelon from the Government of France, is worthy of more than a passing notice by the press and public men of Canada.In my humble opinion, It is a quéstion of great moment.You are aware that a few years ago, a conference was held of representatives of the Governments of Canada and Newfoundland \u2018with a view to their federation.If 1 remember aright.the reason assigned for \u2018the.failure of these negotiations was a monetary one.Our Government could not see its way clear to assume the stipulated national debt of Newfoundland of $15,000,000.The Conservative Government of that day was severely criticized by its friends for allowing such a splendid opportunity slip by for the \u2018rounding off of the Dominion.\"\u2019 - At the same time, it was as freely stated that had the late Right Hon.Sir John A.Macdonald been living and at the helm of state, the federation would have had a different term.ration.Be this as it may.it is, however, true, that the subject was dear to the heart of Sir John A., and it was of much regret to him that he could not in his day obtain from the Government of Newfoundland a conference on the question.We may have unduly criticized his successors, not having all the facts before us as a people.To my mind there was one question involved in the negotiations which might also have had an influence upon the minds of Canada\u2019s representatives, viz, the French shore difficulty.Had the federation of Newfoundiand to Canada been consummated, tt goes without saying that Canada would necessarily have to assume all that Is involved in that irritating problesn with the Government of France.Constituted as we are, such a state of affairs would not at all be desirable.The purchase by the United States of the Islands of St.Plerre and Miquelon would transfer to that nation all the rights and disputed privileges on the French shore of Newfoundland, acquired by the Government of France in the retention of these islands at the conquest.Would we not have a repetition of the Behring Sca fishery and the Alaska boundary questions with the Government of the United States?Surely no Canadian desires this?It might possibly be better to have the present \u2018\u2018splendid isolation\u201d of these islands continue.The value to the United States of the Islands of St.Pierre and Miquelon, with the concessions and disputed privileges in Newfoundland, for the prosecution of her bank fisheries, is better known to them as a people than we take the time and trouble to think about.I need not here discuss the enormous advantage these islands possess for the acquirement of batt, and the curing and trans-shipment of fish from the islands and French shore of Newfoundland.Let me pass on to the solution of the difficulty.Here it is: Why not both the Governments of Canada and Newfoundland memorialize the British Government for the purchase Of St.Pierre and Miquelon, either by exchange of territory in some other quarter of our great Empire, or by money, as proposed by Senator Lodge in the Senate of the United States?Should the British Government be successful in her negotiations, the French shore difficulty would be a thing of the past, and every possible hindrance would be removed for both the Governments of Canada and Newfoundland renewing their conference for confederation.You are aware that there is an agitation, and A party formed, at the present time in Newfoundland, having confederation as the leading plank in their platform.Mr.R.L.Borden, M.P.the brilliant leader of the Opposition In the Parliament of Canada, has announced the federation of Newfoundland as a leading feature of his policy.So far so good! but this ever recurring difficulty.the French shore question, will assert itself, and will be a tremendous barrier in the consummation of so desirable a national feat as the \u2018rounding off of the Dominion.\" One of the great advantages would be that smuggling would forever disappear.It {s not generally known, but is nevertheless a fact, these Islands of St.Pierre and Miquelon are the centres of the greatest contraband traffic in the world to-day.I need not occupy your space in the discussion of the methods pursued; sufficient to say that the cost to our Government for its prevention is very considerable.Again, consider the great outlay caused the English and French Governments by having a fleet of warships constantly visiting these waters during the fishing bok a to prevent by all possibility any act or infringement against the present interpretation of those rights and priv- fleges.Think for one moment of the possibilities that might ensue by the action of a body of the peoples of either nation, in resenting what might be termed an tnfriction upon these privileges.Would & not be politic to Temove ail this, when so desirable an opportunity to this end presents itseif?.Again, the islands possess no advantage to France stretegically.and are of no possible use as a coaling station.Now comes the quéstion of aationalky, 80 dear to all peoples.Would this be a barrier?1 oping not The peopie at the presont time desire a change.After the purchase of the islands by Great Britain.the federation to Canada would entail but little difficulty.Again, France could not be accused of forsaking ber offspring.She could (with a posstble amount of regret at her loss) point to her children In Canada, especially in the Province of Quebec, who have, under another Sovereign and Government, very materially prospered, at the same time retaining their olvil and religious rights to a degree which has made them contented, happy and progressive, Who can gainsay this?Again, new life would be infused into the fishing industry.new methods would take the place of the obsolete ones now pursued, and the people would enjoy a prosperity not realized by them for a century.This subject has engaged my thought for some time, and ! place it before your readers for what it is worth, as a possible solution to a question which may in the future assume proportions we have but little idea of at the present moment, and at the same time remove a very great obstacle to the federation of New- foundliaid to our magnificent Dominton.Now is the time to act.Delays are dangerous.There is an old adege which, I opine, is quite applicable, here, viz, \u201cIt will be too late to lock the stable after the horse has been stolen.\u201d ROD.MacKINNON.The New Philanthropy.To the Editor of the Montreal Star: Bir \u2014The recently published will of the late Gordon McKay.of Cambridge, Mess.has attracted a good deal of attention im the American press.Some of its provisions are of such a charatter as to interest any country which possesses pro- greesive academic institutions, By McKay's bequest a sum of about four million dollars is immediately made avallable as an income-earning fund for the purposes of technical education in connection with Harvard University.On the death of certain annuitants, the remainder of his fortune, which, although no estimate of ® has bee.given to the public, is sad to amoumt to some roil- Mons, is to be devoted to the same cause.McKay takes rank with such givers as Carnegie, Rhodes, Stanford and Rockefeller.It is not, however, the magnitude of his benefaction which has made an Impression on the imagination of the public, but the generous and intelligent expression which he has given to a new idea) of provision for a univeesity's needs.McKay's ideas are not, ft is true, original: to a certain extent they are embodied in recent endowments in McGill Nevertheless, they entitle his will to be regarded as a unique, indeed.as an epoch-making document.The will reads as follows: +] direct that the metructions provided be kept accessible to pupils who have had no other opportunities of previous education than those which the free public schools afford.\u201c1 direct that the salaries attached to the professorships be kept liberal gemera- tion after generation, according to the standars of each successive generation, to the end that these may always be attractive to able men.\u201cI direct that the professors be provided with suitable assistance, my desire being that they may be free to devote themselves to whatever part of the teaching requires the greatest skill and latgest experience.\u201d CoE I pass quickly over the first prévision, which makes a timely protest agafspf Lhe creation of a Brahmin caste te porn in New England, to say a word the remaining two.The problem how to continue to \u2018\u2018attract able men,\u201d ia one which American and Canadian universities will soon have to face.Already certain professors say openly that they would hesitate before recommending a young man to adopt an academic career.Muensterberg, of Harvard, urges the creation of positions with salaries of twenty-five thousend dollars.This would probably be a mistake.The man who has the schotar's instincts needs no such bribe to follow his natural bent.On the other hand.the modern profeasor wishes to lead his life unhampered by petty cares or the necessity of doing hackwork.It is in his recognition of such just ambitions that McKay shows his fine spirit.His language is so comprehensive and specific as to leave no doubt as to his intentions.Balaries are to be kept liberal in accordance, not merely with the increased cost of ltving.but with the \u201cstandards of each successive generation.\u201d\u201d It was magnificent of this seif- made man\u2014he owed the nucleus of his fortune to the invention of a sewing ma- chine\u2014to refuse to trade upon the old- time professor's indifference to the character of his surroundings.It goes without saying that the personnel pald from his fund will shrink in number.But he evidently considered that shrinking numbers were to be preferred to diminishing efficiency.McKay's will is based on à recognition of the fact that specific endowments which are merely adequate for contemporary purposes, begin in principle from the moment of their creation to become out of date.a LEIGH R.GREGOR.see desire for increased income.They ask for 355,000 à year increase under Plan No.1, or for 92,600 under Plan No.3 Real estate already bears too many burdens to pay any more for achool purposes.If any norease is to be made, a different course must be adopted.There is a great mass of the population, many of them very wealthy, who contributes nothing towards the maintenance of the city or schools.It is to these the \u201camas THE MONTREAL DAILY STAR-SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5 1903.Commissioners should appeal, and nbt to- the real estate owners.One important thing to be borne in mind in dealing with this matter is that, according to the Bchoo! Commissioners\u2019 own showing, they are not administering the school tax in a legal manner.They admit that they expended last year no less than $35,000 on Jewish education, and they calmly say, \u2018and this year will be further increased to $43,000.\" This they admit is \u2018judicially declared to be outside the provision of the law.\u201d Notwithstanding this they have the nerve to appeal for more funds.They certainly have a curious conception of administering a public trust, and it is a pity that these gentlemen have not displayed the same business care in administering the board affairs that any man of ordinary cape- city would do in his business.1 would like to know what legal right they had to divert so large a sum from tts legitimate purpose, and | am afrald | they will find it hard to justify the steps they have taken.They may talk of \u2018the broad spirit of citizenship.\u201d but this does not help them in any way.With regard to Plan No.1, 1 will not make any remarks.| think the previous remarks cover the question In dealing with Plan No.2 there are no reasons for decreasing scholars\u2019 fees.The parents must pay for educating their children in the common schools, where little is paid and little taught.It is only right that those requiring more then is taught in these achools should pay for the privileges of the Senior School.With regard to the High School there should be no reduction.The scholars attending this school are principally the children of wealthy parents, who, it may be assumed, would resent this attempt to pauperize them and their children.It is to he hoped that the taxpayers will take every step necessary to prevent an increase of taxation, and that some prominent body of citizens will take such steps as may be necessary to prevent any increase for school purposes.A TAXPAYER.Geology of Nowa Scotia.Special to The Montreal Star.Ottawa, December 5.\u2014 A batch of ten new geological maps of portions of Nova Scotia has

those of physical warfare.Because | of this warfare the industria) interests of the nation during the last year have ben injured to an irreparable degree.Many firms have been driven into bankruptcy and the cases are innumerable in which the workingmen have been disabled, and even murdered while numerous families have been rendered destitute by reason of the tyranny and seditious attacks upon society of the strike organizations.A condition of anarchy has existed continuously in some States for months past, and in fact the acts of lawlessness committed under the sacred name of labour are of such frequent occurrence that the public sense of their enormity has become blunted.The period of great prosperity brought about by the unrestricted operation of the law of supply and demand is also being destroyed by the acts of violence of organized labour.and as a result we are now confronted with the possibility of a period of depression.\u201cWe, therefore, urge the rapid organization of

World.\u201cCharles O'Malley's Adventures\u201d have ences this week and the Academy has not resounded with the tramp ef the multitudes emerginb for refreshments and re-entering after the curtain has risen.not because the mulititudinous thirst has been quenched, but because Somehow or other O'Malley does not seem to fit in with stage conventions.We have our swashbucklers of fiction, whom we do not mind seeing transferred to the world of footlights, where thelr vauntings and meptal combats seem no more far-fetched and uonat- ural than they did in the printed page, but with O'Malley it is different.There is still too much In him to recall the wild imaginings of youth and the warm glow of sympathy and interest with which one followed his adventures into the hours perilously near the dawn to make it advisable to witness sections of these e adventures portrayed with nice de and fine accuracy such as would do credit to an Anthony Hobe dramatization.It ta not of s0 much importance to see the uniforms that surrounded him as to feel that under these uniforms there were men\u2014very real, very normal men.It needs the touch of Lever rather than that of the stage manager to make the atmosphere satisfying.Mr.Aubrey Boucicault, who has not visfteq Montreal since he was here with Charles.and Rose Coghlan, twelve Years ago.In their famous production of \u201cDiplomacy.\u201d is not to blame for the lack of enthusiasm which has been displayed over \u201cCaptain Charlie\u201d not only in Montreal, but in the other cities it has viisted on this its second incarnation.He is an Irishman and the son of an Irishman, and his O'Malley is Irish all through.and very near to Lever's Irish at that.Those who did chance the perforrnance this week gave him curtain call after curtain call, not because he was the hero of \u2018Captain Charlie.\u201d but because he was Aubrey Boucicault.Theodore Burt Sayre.who modestly confesses his indebtedness to Lever for, as he puts it, \u201ctwo incidents and several characters,\u201d pretty effectually spoils their value by his method of handling them.\u201cCaptain Charlie\u201d as a matter of fact, neither begins nor ends.You come at 8.15 and leave at 10.45.but as far as the play itself goes, there seems to be No good reason why it might not have begun a day or mo before you arrive and might not continue indefinitely after you leave.The finaltableaux recalls irresistibly the expedient: of a man who hears the supper bell ring and finishes up his work more with the idea of the supper than the work Then.again, Mr.Boucicault was handicapped by being, from a dramatic standpoint, almost \u201cwithout visible means of support.\u201d A more futile company.especially the male part of it, has rarely appeared here behind a star of quality.It is an open secret that three years ago a Montrealer who was scarcely less famed for his wise and kindly patronage of music than for his business acumen, had in hand a project for the erection in Montreal of a large muaic hall.for which there is and has long been a great but ineffective demand here.Death put an end to the particular plan, and no one has since arisen who seems able or willing to take up the burden.Montreal is almost unique among the large cities of this continent In having no haïlFef this kind \u2014 no central gathering place large enough to accommodate a grept popular gathering.and yet artistic enough to furnish a suitable abode for high-grade recitals and xood conc It is quite within the bounds of probability that this hall will not pay any returns for a number of years; it is even a matter of record that only a very small proportion of similar edifices are financial successes.It ts.however.equally apparent that in no better way could a man benefit his fellow-citizens than in erecting and endowing an institution of this kind.We have our art galleries and 1l- braries.Why rot our concert halls?Next Friday the Symphony Orchestra will attempt to repeat the great success of last week\u2014and with more than a fair chance of success.It was unquestionably the most satisfying musica] incident of many years, that crowd which for nearly half an hour blocked the lobby of the Academy and extended even out into the streets.A of this blocking was doubtiess due to the young officials to whom bad been entrusted the task of handling the crowd, and several of whom at once succumbed to bad attacks of stage fright, but the rest was simply because more people wanted to be present than any one had dared expect.However, the management having been given such good cause for hoping for good patronage, are not to be caught napping again, and have promised adequate arrangements for handling the rush of ticket-holders in the future.It is hoped.by the way, to introduce annotated programmes before the close of the season, an innovation which will, doubtless, be warmly welcomed by the patrons of the concerts.Judicious annotations often supply the atmosphere and furnish the point of view without which the value of a composition is practically lost.The experiment can hardly be attempted too soon.F Robert Mantell opened his New York engagement this week by producing Mr.W.A.Tremayne's latest play, \u201cThe Light of Other Days.\u201d a romantic drama of the French Revolution and the days which followed.Judging by the criticisms, this play is one of the best things Mr.Tremayne has ever done.and, with a few slight changes, will, doubtless, prove a financial and dramatic success.So far the audiences at the Fourteenth Street Theatre have been unusually large and gratifyingly enthusiastic.Blanche Walsh is having immense success with the \u201cResurrection,\u201d which she Is playing in the West.The Patti concert in Newark, N.J.was given up owing to the poor advance sale.Jack Barrymore, son of Maurice Barrymore and a brother of Ethel Barrymore, has been engaged by Chas.Frohman to appear in the new Clvde Fitch play.\u201cGilad of It.\" Mr.Barrymore has had some stage experience.More recently he has been engaged in making sketches for newspapers.In \u201cGlad of It\" Mr.Barrymore will appear as a press agent for a serio-comic artist.True 8.James comes to the Fran- cals next week, commencing December 7th.at the head of a company in the production of \u201cA Little Outcast\u201d whose bright particular star is Anne Blancke.As \u201cBob\u201d the ubiquitous New York newsboy, Miss Blanche keeps things lively and leads the villain of the play a strenuous existence.Her appearance is hailed by the audience in general.and with uproarious approval by the gallery in particular, whose popular idol she is.Florence Cecil, Joseph Smiley, Antoinette Smart, Frederic Morley, T.Martin McKee, W.A, Meckling, Fred.Clayton, Irene Meara, Little Maomj.and other favourites have conwenial roles, while a Newsboys\u2019 Quartette and vaudeville artists introduce specialties throughout the production.\u201cA Little Outcast\u201d is an elaborate story of New York life all phases of it being presented, ranging from ultra-fashionable mansions to the lowest hovels of crime.The plot reads like a page from one of Victor Hugo's novels.Among the scenic representations are views of à bizarre Chinese restaurant in Pell street, with its half- hidden alcoves for opium smokers and its Oriental colorings and shaded lights; Cooper Union Five Points.a panoramic view of the Hattery at night, a fashionable woman's boudoir, a broker's office in Wal) Street.and the great fire on Government Pler, with the fire engines and billows of flame.Matinees on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.Joseph Murphy, the popular Irish comedy player.will begin next Monday es ening his annual engagement in this city at Proctor's Theatre, presenting hi~ favourite Irish dramas, \u2018Shaun Rhue\u201d and \u201cKerry Gow.\u201d Mr.Murphy Is as well-known as any actor on the stage.His art is finished.He has a musical voice and a pleasing personality, and has attained a sustained success.\u201cShaun Rhue\u2019 (Red John) is One of those homely Irish dramas that always appeals to the heart \u201cKerry Gow\" is an Irish play

for popular approval in a vulgar manner, but adheres rigidly to the line of character he assumes.He has a well modulated.deep, resonant voice, and a good stage appearance.In \u201cThe Second Mrs.Tanqueray,\u201d in which Sadie Martinot appears at the Academy next week, Pinero has done for the drama what Mrs.Henry Woods, W.M.Thackeray, and Alexander Dumas did for narrative literature when they wrote \u201cEast Lynne,\u201d \u201cVanity Fair\u2019 and \u201cCamille,\u201d and it will be a very strong or very callous person who will refuse to fall under the spell of the playwright.\u201cThe Second Mrs.Tan- queray\u201d is a play that should be seen by everyone who has any interest in the technique of a master dramatist.It is a dramatic narrative of skill, simplicity and power.A sermon eloquently preached could not convey more directly or forcibly the inevitable consequences when a woman falls from grace.The last act of Pinero's play is most powerful in its pointed lesson, and at no time during the action of the play is there a demonstration of fllicit love or questionable dialogue.The author has drawn 8 woman whose past rises up against her.Memory and the daily sight of the sweet purity of her husband's daughter, whom she once resembled, torture her into a belief that death alone can bring a remission and peace.The climaxes of every act are mental, not physical, and between the third and fourth acts of the play this master craftsman of the drama has done a surprising thing.The curtain remains down two minutes only \u2014 just sufficiently long

Am: erican dramatic contralto, and Miss Ethel Cave, pianist, of London, England, are booked to appear at the Windsor Hall on Tuesday, January 12.1 It 18 not often in a season that a Montreal audience is afforded an opportunity of listening to Such an artist as David Bispham.The effect of the announcement is readily perceived when one calis at the box-office.People generally appreciate the efforts of local impresarlos, who take the risk of bringing on such singers as Bispham, and are not slow In securing thelr programme which Mr.Bispham has arranged for his concert at the Windsor Hall on Tuesday evening is a splendid ohne.He will render some new numbers besides some of his old favourites.Appearing with Mr.Bispham is Maurice Kaufman, a young American violinist, who recently returned from Europe, where he studled for eight years.He made his first appearance in New York a couple of weeks ago, and was an instantaneous success.Mr.Harold Jarvis, the Detroit tenor, has been chosen by the Michixan delegates to represent that State at the Inter-State Musical Festival, held in connection with the St.Louis Exposition This is a very high honour for Canada's leading singer, but it might be ehquired why has this country not chosen him to represent the Dominion, since he is a Canadian subject.It is another example of our best talent being recognized and appreciated by our Yankee

considerably below that of last year.For eleven months compared with twelve months lust year there lu a difference of 919,639 shares in favour of 1902.The average transactions per manth this year have amounted to slightly over 100,000 shares, 20 (hat the fuH years operations will show a decrease of about 800,000 shares.Compared with 1301, the volume promises to be very slmi- lar in proportions, as the month of December's business will bring the total to about the same figures, provided the activity of the past two or three weeks does not terminate abruptly.Such an outcome of the present interest in stock trading does not appear ut all probable, und, In fact, there gyeems to be u tendency in the way of increased Interest not only on the part of professional traders, but on the part of

OOSOIOOOIOO0S | | \u2018 The story of the ups and downs of the market this year to date is casy to real from the record of fluctuations.The high level, it will be seen.Is very close to the opening figures of the year in the majority of cases, so that the decline to the jow level was continunus almost from the month of January until the late summer.It was only within the past couple of months that a feeling of stabil- fty came over the market, and only during the past month that operations on the rising bullish side became at all prominent.The tractions were the first Lo be taken up, and some good advances have resulted.The amount of attention so far paid to the industrial department has been small, but there are fndications that it may not be long before the interests which have taken such a strong hold on the tractions will turn their attention to other and equally deserving securities.Canadian Pacific is one of the conspicuously backward features of the market, and the highest point touched for some weeks has been 119.It is some time since the stock has been as high as 120, which 1s not vegy far removed from the low level of the vear at 116%.The underwriting this week of a new block of consolidated debenture 4 per cent.stock at 106 in the London market adds some 312,000,000 to the company's Nabflities.While this incident demonstrates the excellent standing of the company's credit abroad.the market for the common stock probably takes the view that the placing ahead of the $35,000,000 common stock recently placed on a 6 per cent.dividend basis soon after an issue of $20,000,000 additional] common stock, makes the maintenance of the dividend rate somewhat more hazardous and dependent in a considerable measure on the continued in- it was | necessitates continuous business prosperity throughout the Dominion.There has been a sparsity of news during the past week likely to affect stocks.The session of the Nova Scotia Legislature, which will doubtless adopt the legislation necessary to the legal separation of the Dominion Iron and Steel and Dominion Coal Companies.has been opened, and in a few days the Coal Company will be in a position to pay over to the Steel directors the amount provided for in the separation agreement, which will materially help the company in building the mills so badly needed to balance the extensive works at Sydney and enable the plant to be operated at a profit.The Dominion Coal directors will also be enabled to take action on the deferred common dividend, and as soon as the stock 18 established in that respect the market for the stock will doubtless improve.The only traction stock which is now playing anything like a prominent part.in the dealings, which is not on a dividend basis, is Toledo Electric.This company has been improving its earning capacity during the jast year at such a rapid rate that there is considerable expectancy among the shareholders as to what the coming year will bring forth for them in the way of a atvidend.It ig be- Heved the company could pay 3 per cent.on the basis of the present net, and rumours to that effect have been heard around the market lately to account for the recent strength in the price of the stock.Many believe, in fact, that the market has commenced discounting the declaration of a dividend early next year.The record of price fluctuations and transactions for eleven months of the gare mince for 17 cents are ubw worth BOME DREDGING PROPOSITIONS.Nine carloads of machinery bave heen unloaded at Ashcroft and transported by waggon 64 miles to Lilloett for a large gold dredging plant being butlt there.At Lytton another large steel dredge is being built and this and a dredge previously in use will be operated on the Fraser River at Lytton next spring.It is stated that the lowest returns obtained from prospecting work on the Lytton Company's leases, were 113% cents per cu- Bic yard: while at twelve feet from the surface in mid-stream, the gravel ran as high as $1.87 per cubic yard.The Lilloet: dredge is of the approved New Zealand bucket type, and when completed will be the largest of the class in Canada./ { ANOTHER STRIKE \u2018IN

group, situated on the south side of Kettle river, near Westbridge, there has been à valuable strike.The lvad is about 40 feet wide, and the average ussay is about $20 In gold.At the Emma mine, Summit camp, ore is to be shipped from the south side of the claim, on the B.C.mine spur, a smal] steam hoist having been placed there for that purpose, It is understood that the Blue Jay, in Skylark cdmp, will be worked agaln.The crew at the Evening Star, Wellington camp, bas been Increased, and test shipments will be made to the smelter.The Sunset mine, In Deadwood camp, is once more sending down its ore to the company\u2019s smelter at Boundary Falls.The statement is made that the ore of the Oro Denoro is belug gotten out and loaded on the railway dump cars at a cost not exceeding 40 cents per

company.THE LEASING SYSTEM AT SLOCAN.H.M.Walker, of the Ledge, speaking about conditions in th Slocan, reports that excellent results are being attained from the leasing system, recently inaugurated there.The Enterprise mine was leased for three years, and the lessees are making a good profit.Recently a promising strike was made In one of the slopes of the Enterprise which was supposed to have been worked out.There is talk of leasing the Fisher Maiden and the Bosun mines, and a number of other mines may be taken over by lessees.The mining companies, he says, they cad get better results

capitalists.The results so far attained by the concentrating plant using the Elmore process.now In operation at the Leroi No.2 mine are satisfactory.Technically the process has proved a complete success.Practically all the mineral is saved, the tailings running on an average about 13 cents to 25 cents a ton.The cost will run about 32 to the ton when the plant is : good running shape, and the ore now welng treated is from £8.60 to ¥6 ore > AN ONTARIO MINE.The first informatioh which the general public received of the discovery of gold- bearing rock at Webbwood was contained in the
