ti In the sixth, Davenport again in one good righthander on the bead, but that was about all, Weller simply hitting him whenever he pleased or whenever the clinches allowed him, and kecping his opponent against the ropes in his cor ner.The seventh round consisted of a series of clinches by which Davenport tried to save bumself from a koockout.It looked as if he was thoroughly spent, and all he did whea uot clinching was to make the most ugly faces imaginable, and try to ward off Weller's blows.He did manage to get in an occasional lovetap, but he breathed heavily.In the eighih round it seemed he had come to the conclusion that it would read better to have lost the match on a foul, than to be knocked out.He therefore fouled with great persistence, even when Weller in the breakaway bad thrown up his hands.The Rsferze awarded match to Weller ; The preliminary of the evening was furnished by little Earl O'Connor, who, for a boy his size, rave a marvellous exhibition of bag punching, which was greatly admired by the experts present.Rooney and Needham.There is another boxer in town who is hot after Pat Rooney.His name is Jack Needham;

A SECRET POLICY.Special, Cable from a Montreal Star Correspondent.Sofia, Bulgaria, December 22.\u2014Kecn ina terest is being manifested here in the fact that the Russiap Government has granted

Alexander of Battenburg.Immediately thereafter he went to Russia and since the election of Prince Ferdinand in 1887 bas pever crossed the Bulgarian frontier.All this time he has been in the Russian military REertvice.Bendereff is acknowledged to be the first living authority an Magedonian military fopogräphÿ.No \u2018ong doubts\u2019 eat his eom- ing to this country after more than fifteen years\u2019 absence means that he is tharged with some mission by the Russian Government.That mission many fear will prove inimical to the national prospects of Bulgaria.It is regarded as an additional indication that Russia and Aus tria are cherishing a secret Balkan policy of which the world will hear much before the Macedonian troubles is much older.PRESENTATION TO PASTOR.At Christmas

has simply misappropriated stock which it was authorized by Parliament to issue for \" speatied and well defined pur of which tbe Grand Trunk Pacific guarantee was not one.In 1884 the Company, was authorized to issue guaranteed stock for certain apeci- fied purposes, and needless to say al that time the Grand Trunk Pacihe folly was aot dreamt of.In 1903 the Company was authorised to increase its is-u: of guar-' soteed four per cent.stock to teu million pounds sterling, in all.The Act authorizes the Company to apply the stock or the proceeds thereof to the general purposes of the Company, and directs that the pro- jeeeds \"shall be used for the reduction of gades and in other improvements to the roadbed, double tracking portions of the Compony\u2019s lines, the substitution of \\ atronger bridges for those now in use, improvements and additions to roiling stock, extensions of the present workshops of the Company, and the erection of mew ones, increasing elevator and siding ac commodation apd terminal facilities, and jn providing such additional means and facilities to meet the growing require menta of the traffic and business of the Compeny, in any and all respects as in / } / | the opinion ot the board, of directors way be requisite.\u201d There is pot a word.here suthorising ce Cemphoy\u2019 to deposit & mil loa pourds of tire vie\u201d as security for RT fulfilment, of an agresthest between another company and the Government of Canada: By no stretch of the imagination can that be regarded as one of the general purposes of the Company® ; It may be perfectly true that the Parliament of Canade has sunk into the position of a mere puppet of the Government; and that the Government cam reply upon it to always endorse its decrees, but this public assumption of mastery this contemptuous disregard of an Act of Par liament is none the less a flagrant decency.Furthermore, it is opæ to any shareholder of the Company to attack the legality of the transaction in the courts; and the courts cannot take the subser- viency of Parliament for granted.in- AN \u201cHONOURABLE MEMBER.\u201d Hon.E.J.Devis, a member of the Ross Ministry, has been undergoing an \u2018\u2018examination for discovery\u201d im Toronto in connection with a petition against his last election.Careful enquiry was made irto his knowledge of the various \u2018\u201c\u2018workers\u201d who laboured on his bebalf; and the astounding information was elicited that he knew very little about them.For instance, he was asked, to begin with\u2014 \u201cWho bad charge of your organization?\u201d \u201cI could not say that,\u201d Mr.Davis replied; \u201cI suppose the committees in the various parts of the riding who usually take charge of the campaigns.\u2019 * Farther along, Mr.Lennox, who was examining him, reverted to the question of organization.Mr, Davis said that he \u2018had pothing to do with it,\" and that, to his knowledge, Mr.Marshall, the organizer of the Liberal party, was the only ottside assistance brought in for the by- election.Later the reports of the examination proceed: \u201cMr.Davis could not tell who pays Marshall for his services; he (Mr.Davis) did not, That gentleman was engaged by the Liberal organization of the province.but of that body Mr.Davis was not a member.He did not even know who the officers were, nor did he know where he could find out.The Minister could not tell what Mr.Marshall's duties were in the constituency.\u201d Subeequently it came out that he paid a total expenre account submitted to him by his financial agent amounting to #1, 434.21: but that he did not go into the de- : tails at all.He could not even remember whether his financial agent had submitted to him a \u201csummary\u201d of the amounts.Looked at in any light, this is an extraordinary situation.Here is a member for a constituency and a Minister in the Provincial Government who runs a by- election on which his political life depends; and yet he knows nothing about the organization on his behalf in his own home riding! He pays an expense account : of nearly fifteen hundred dollars without having the curiosity to know how it was spent! A man comes into his constituency and takes charge of bis election | + 1 campaign; and yet Mr.Davis swears that he does vot know who sent him, who paid him or what his duties were! He i dees know that he is engaged by the Lib- ! eral organization of the province; but ; he\u2014Liberal leader and Minister\u2014does not | know who are the officers of this organization, nor does he know where he could \u2018 find out ! Prodigious ! If the Honourable Mr.Davis were exceedingly anxious to keep his skirts free from questionable tactics about to be em- ploved on his behalf in his own riding, be could not have chosen a wiser course of | procedure.It is plain that Mr.Davis is \u201can honourable man,\u201d for that is his title; : and there 18 no reason why he should not be \u201chonourable\u201d in the midst of a wicked and perverse generntion so long as he ingenuously trusts his dearest interests to chance strangers who come from no one kr.ows where, are paid by no one knows whom, and do no one knows what.A receiver of stolen goods could he \u2018honourable\u2019 in such a panoply of careful ignorance.But it is poesible that the people may revolt in time against a representative who is content to play 30 ignoble a part in his own campaign.It is not to be imagined that Mr.Davis 1s the only member who thus writes large cheques without enquiring what they have been used for, and who welcomes to the head of his campaign organization a professional supplied and paid by an organization he could not \u2018locate\u2019 if he tried.That such members should be called \u2018representatives\u2019 in surely a flash of humour.That \u201cmachine methods\u201d flourish under such leadership 1s the happening of the expected.One of the first demanda that those really im- terested in political purity must make is that candidates be reasonably conversant with and are held responsible for every aot done in their behalf.THOSE PORTLAND CANAL ISLANDS.Lord Dundonald says that the two islands given to the United States in the Portland Canal cannot close up Port Simpeon: and he gives two reasons for it.One 13 that a battery of guns Wales Teland would command the two American islands; and the other is that the British flest is supreme.!e Thesé are both excellent reasons.The Americans are not at all Lkely to fortify their islandà under the circumstances, which will make it unnecessary to mount any gubs to command them.In any case, commanding guns can be mounted as quickly as interfering artillery.The control of the sea is the real point.however.Bo long as we have this, all British ports will be safe.The fleet ia still our first line of defence, and the place to draw it is not outside of British ports, but ontside thoee of her enemies.It is inconceivable that this term \u201cenemies\u2019\u201d should ever include our good peighbours who hold the islands of which some alarmists have sought to make us fearful.The only thing to be apprehended was that some political side-wind might have compelled the fortificstion of the American islands which would have induced ill-feeling here.But the comgmand- ing position of Wales Island surely dis- = \u2014orgtegr commen.sans anda recognition of mode tual interest will dispose as easily of all other phases of the question, A MOSELEY.LOMMISSIONER ON .THE RDUCATION OF WOMEN.The authorities of the (Catholic church can generally be trusted to take practical views in regard to education, and seems to us that the Rev.Thomas Fialey, 8.J., of the Moeely Educational Commission, said something very practical when, to a reporter of the New York press, he delivered himself of the following opinion: \u201cHere in America you bave such a universal higher educaton for woman that you unfit her for lower spheres when she is not capable of filling higher ones.You give your girls a taste for college life, a smattering of Greek and Latin and science.Yet, generally speaking, they are not scholars, nor can they hope to be.With that little veueering of knowledge, the woman refuses to adapt herself to the fields of labour in which her\u201d bility could sucoted.\u201d oe In the education of women, Father Fin- lev said, Ireland was far ahead of the United Stites.The Irish education is certainly remarkable for solidity and userul- ness.It may not eucourage so Many women to be writers, but it cultivates common sense and develops womanly qualities.It is hard to estimate the amount of intellectual, if not almoet moral.damage done to a woman who gets from her col lege tranny \u201cveneering of knowledge\u201d to which Father Finley refers.She thinks she knows and she doesn't know.Her mind is one great (or small) blur.But her vanity has been stimulated, her tuste has been convention- ulized, her whole nature made cowmmon- place, so far as oducation can do it.\\s an offset to all this she is able to hang up her diploma, perhaps written in Latin, on her parlour or sitting room wall, for the admiration of those who don't buow how little it means.Many are the impostuies of our day.but.perhaps, among them ali there is none greater than female education as conducted in many pretentious colleges.v IN THE HALLS OF SCIENCE.\u201cTtere.\u201d said Matthew Arno:d, reterring to the University df Oxtord, \u2018are our voung barbarians, all at play.\u201d lhe undergraduate does, it must be acknowledged.allow himself to play strange freaks on occasion, and particularly on solemn oc- Casions suvs as convocation when honorary degrees are being conterred on distinguished individuals and other pom- davs i pous proceedings are in progress.We do not think.however, that the young bar barians Matthew Arnold had in view would ever have behaved themselves as \u2018 the substitute promptly poses of this; and international Amity and + the class in geol-gy a: Harvard is reported , to have done au tew days ago.ate student a review of the lectures on geology.whieh | he (Shaler) had given since the opening of the college last fa!l.What ensued is thus described: \u201cThe outbreak began the first dav, and adjourned the class.On the following Wednesday the smabstitute again appeared and ttempted to lecture.This time the atudenta were less particular as to what was thrown, and books anl shoes formed part of the am- \u201cmghnition.Finally twd eggs were hurled.One struck the screen on which the lantern views were being thrown and the other landed on tie floor directly at the feet of the lecturer.The curtains were immediately release! and the class dismissed.\u201d The following Monday Professor Shaler himself appeared upon the scene.He had been instructor at Harvard, he said, for over thirty years, and during that nme had been accustomed to deal with gentlemen: but for the last two or three years \u201cloafers\u201d had been coming into the col lege, 2nd that in consequence of their low conduct he could and would discontinue his lectures in the geology course.It is a pity when young men belonging to what we sometimes call \u201cthe better classes,\u201d make vulgar rowdies of themselves.We fear the corrupting influence of money is to be seen in these mAanifest- ations.No class of young mechanics at- tendin= a course of lectures would behave themselves in the manner descnbed;

rich rugs and plain neat matting or the country cottage, or the city bedroom, and every variety of curtain compel the admiration of the person, who sometimes goes in to \u2018look around\u201d and becomes a customer, who\u201dremains faithful to thc house year after year.One of \u2018the [Freat attractions about Ligget's 1s the unfailing courtesy of every one con- pected with the establishment.Whether the article purchased is a hall mat or a rich and costly vug or carpet, there is the same attention and politeness.which has much to do with the g cat popularity of this store.Among the any gifts which women, whether married or single, will appreciate are cushions, There never was a woman who had too many cushions for her room, and it is worth while to see the assortment of cushion covers and cushions, fancy and plain, ut Ligget's before making purchases elsewhere.\u2018 ra Buccessor to Canon Loucks.Belleville, Ont., December 22.\u2014Rev.W.L.Armitage, of Peterborough, has been wecured to su Rev.Canon Loucks, as rector of Mary Magdalene Church, at Pic: .ton.Mr.Armitage is very popular in Peterborough, and is at present secretary of the Deanery of NoMhumberland and wecretary of the Archdeaconery of Peter- borough.Royal Patronage DIAMOND FACTS.No matter how small the price is a *Cochenthaler\u201d diamond has all the merits of excellence and the value correct.Observe this\u2014 © No.999.\u2014Has 3 beautifully cut diamonds of nice size, « mounted in 18k.gold.Price 850.00 If you are interested.come and see what we can do for you.Looking at our goods involves no obligation to buy, but iooking usually resuits in buying.If you are out of town, send for No.999 Ring.It's a \u201cpeach\u201d for the money.'

over the decision.was shown the costs entailed upon the Corporation by such a system would be enormous.Ald Laporte, in bringing the matter before Council, said unless something was done, the city soon would be sunk into dcbt by expropriations.When the expropriation law was framed by the Legislature he was sure there was no intention to give each proprietor two expropriation commissioners.\u201cIn a few months,\u2019 said Ald.Laporte, \u201cwe may be widening St.Antoine street.On this street are six hundfed proprietors.It will mean that in this one \u2018expropriation case alone no less than 1,200 commissioners will have to be employed.No city in the world could stand such costly proceedings.Something must be done, and that quickly, to get the law amended.\u201d It was shown that the present practice is to name two city assessors, one of the Recorders and two other commissioners, whose duty is to proceed with the expropriation of a whole street, or the part of it to be expropriated.They act for all the proprietors and establish the Indemnity to be paid for the land and buildings that are to be taken over by the ofty.This has always been the practice, but, by the judgment of the court.the nUmber of commissioners is enormously Increased.Other members of Council declared that the expropriation law as it now had been interpreted was utterly unworkable.After some further discussion it was agreed that something must be Hone to get the Legislature to come to the city's aid and amend the offending clauses.THAT FUEL ACCOUNT.A stirring letter was read from the East End Municipal League protesting against the Corporation making good the deficit of the famous ctvic fuel committee, wbich body last winter undertook to purchase coal and sell it at greatly reduced rates to the poor.In concluding, the letter said: \u2018\u2019in order to ascertain how the profits have been absorbed, It is imperative that the accounts be thoroughly investigated dy citizens, or a royal commission; that the former course may be pursued, it is necessary that all books, records, documents, papers and correspondence relative to this committee's actions, and transactions, be produced, and submitted for public inspection.\u201d The letter was laid on the table for the present.NEW CENTRAL WORKSHOP.For some time past Ald.Martineau has been working on a project for the establishment of a central workshop.He submitted his plan to Council yesterday.It proposes that the Council shall appoint a new committee known as the Central Workshops Committee.He explained that the purpose of establishing this committee was to have one central workshop where sll the repairs of the Corporation could be done.At the present time the city.it was held, lost much money by having repairs done by outside firms and by a few scattered municipal workshops.Ald.Martineau further explained that as Duvernay.a new ward, would soon be, sending additional members to Counch, Cherry Pectoral This is the medicine doctors have prescribed for sixty years se ess colds, COORD pa ductive of much good.and would result In a big saving to the city.This view wage coincided In by several other members.A few other members feared such a new committee would take away large powers from the Roads, Fire and other important committees.| It was finally decided that a by-law should be drafted showing just what would be the powers and work of the proposed new committee, LIEUTENANTS NOT UNQUALIFIED.Some surprise was caused by Ald.Le- beuf rising and saying he had reason to believe that four lleutenants in the police department, who had recently been promoted to the positions they now held, were not property qualified.It was explalned by Ald.Ouimet that the men had been promoted because they had been recommended by the Chief of Police.The affair is to be enquired into.STREET RAILWAY SENDS PROTESTA couple of weeks ago the Ottawa RIver Raliway Company sent a petition to Council asking power to enter the city and run on a number of streets.In this connection the Street Railway Company sent the following letter to Council yesterday: \u201c1 beg to inform you that the plans submitted by the Ottawa River Rallway Company show the line of tracks they desire to be as follows: St.Urbaln, to Craig, to St.Charles Borromee, to De Montigny.to Et.Urbain.\u201cNow St Urbain, from Ontario to Craig, Cralg from 8t.Urbaingo St.Charles Borromee, and DeMontigny, are prefs erential streets St.Charles Borromee ls not a preferential street.\u201d The letter was sent to the Road Committee for consideration.Before Council adjourned a number of petitions and communications was read.One petition, signed by a large number of barbers, asked that the law be not amended so barbers could shave on Sunday.\\, Jt was held that if barber shops were open on the Sabbath #t would be citizens, and not strangers, whe would be accommodated.Several letters from various societies were read, and asked that the by-law against Sunday shaving be enforced and not revoked.Notices of motion were given by.Ald.L.A.Lapointe for the widening of Notre Dame street, from Frontenac 10 city limits; and by AM.Couture, for the establishment of a new belt line, to be known as the Amherst and Maisonneuve Hne.It is to run; From Craig, up Amherst, to Rachel, to Papineau Road, to Ontario, to Maisonneuve, to Lagauche- tiere, to Voltigeurs, to Craig.to Amherst; from Craig to St.Ignace, to La- gauchetiere, to Maisonneuve, to Ontario, to Papineau, to Rachel, to Amherst.BARRIE AND HIS DEFENDER.James Matthew Barrie is one of the least conversational of writers, and there are many stories of the embarrassment he has caused his hosts by his inability to talk at dinners in his honour.At one banquet given to him, it 1s said, he remained proof against every effort to draw him into conversation until the very close, when, as he left the hall, he made his first remark: \u201cWeel, this is the first time bad dinner with ree.editors.\u2019 ot long ter, ere appeared an article which cleverly satirized his awkward shyness by ironically showing him as the life of a brilliant assemblage, and the most eloquent of after-dinner speakers.A friend of his, full of indignation at the gibe, rushed to the office of the periodical publishing i, and demanded the head the au of this infamous jest at a man\u2019s diwbilities.He collapsed when he learned that the satirist of Mr., I've ever | \u2018it priceless to me.Dupuis OPEN EVERY EVENING TILL THE » Freres of SMOKER XMAS PRESENTS The Gifts Most Appreciated

declare he would never go to a rcal college.Other boys have made the same vows.But there is something uncommon about the way Be began schoël, and the story is not only amusing but affords an early

WILL BE $2,500,000 Work on Two Storey Sheds Will Be Pushed Forward Will All Haste.it is admitted unofficrally that the Government has passed favourably upon the plans for harbour improvements which have hung in the balance for so long, and that as likely as not the official approval will be received in time to announce it at the meeting of the Harbour Cou- missioners to-morrow.This being the case it will end the lon controversy as regards the merits ar demerits of two-storey steel sheds and elevated roadways and give the Harbour Commissioners an opportunity to down to business.It 1s deemed of the greatest importance that work should be: in at the earhest possible moment, else the conveyors for the new grain elevator cannot he put in place and this adjunct to the harbour's trade will have to remain idle throughout the comung year.WILL BEGIN WORK SHORTLY.When asked regarding the plans this morning several of the larbour Comins- sioners stated that they had heard nothing official, but they were still of the 1m- pression that the Government had passed upon the plans favourably and that within a very short time tney could go on with the work.These plans which were prepared under the direction of Mr.John Kennedy, chil of the staff of harbour engineers, «all for two storey sheds upon the Tour quers in front of the centre of the city.These sheds are to be constructed of steel and concrete.Over the tops will run the in conveyors and uu the level with the Foor of the upper storeys wul be the connecting the street.the entire work, the approaches tracks waggon roadway The estimated cost of including the paving of and the laying of the railway on the piers, 1s 2.500.000.It is expected that tenders will be ask: ed fur the work.or.at least, such portion of it, as metal workers ean best do, and that the remainder of the winter.after the contracts are let, can be taken up with getting the materuls manufactur ed so that when spring comes they can be put 1m place m a very short time.John Millen and Sons.The large and well equipped establish: ment of John Millen and Sons, 1325 to 1331 St.Catherine street.1s a hive of in these days, and a Visitur there quickly perceives that Christmastide is rapidly approaching.A rush of business pervades every department.The various departments of an up-to-date hardware business are innumerable, but none are more In:erc-ting than the sporting goods department.Canada 18 famous tor her winter sports, aud everything necessary for the enjoyment of the hundred and one pastimes in which Canadians indulge can be found here, from the snowshoe to the skate, the ski and the tobwg- gan.There x a very large and well assorted stock of skates of all the famous makers and the display 1s second to none in the city in this and wany other re dustry ts.The all embracing term hardware includes many tlungs useful for Christmas presents.There is a splendid assortment of pocket knives, pen knives, pocket scissors, in addition to table cutlery.Of the latter there is a great display and one that it would be difficult to tind the equal of in the city.The other branches of Messrs.John Millen and Sons establishment
