WINNIPEG, January 22.\u2014J.D.Cameron, late Attorney-General, has expressed his refusal to contest the bye-election in South Winnipeg against Mr.Macdonald.and says he wishes to be considered as out of poli- tice.He exvressen the opinion that Mr.Macdonald will have no opposition, and this view is concurred in by most of the Liberal leaders.Mr.Cameron refuses to make any statement in vindication of himself regarding the recent railway exposures: ÎIt- ia understood that a vindication of himself would mean an utter denunciation of Mr.Greenway, and his sl- lence ia regarded by Liberals as an evidence of personal integrity and loyalty to his Jead- > er.Efforts are being made by leading Liberals to have Mr.Cameron wash his bands of the whole matter and accept the provincial leadership.He has s0 far refused to do ro.At the Court House on Saturday morning, preliminary objections were filed by Messrs.Ewart, Wilson and Fisher on be half of clected members against the petitions presented against them in three constituencies of Carillon, Birtle and Delorain.Prey liminary objections were also filed by Messrs.Tupper, Phippen and Tu per in the cases of Manitou and Rockwood.EE Mc@GILL GRADS IN TORONTO.(Special to the Star.) , TORONTO, January 22.\u2014 The annual meeting of MeGill Graduates Society of |.Toronto was held on Saturday night.Among the old graduates present were J.J.ow.Dr.H itt, Taclaren, Q.Canon Sweeny, A.R.Lewis, Q.C., Hamilton Cassels, A.H, 1: Colquhoun, Willis Chip- man, and others.Officers were elected: ax follows for the ensuing year: President, R.Lewis, Q.C.;

Trim \u201c\u2019The Cabinét\"tins made find] arrange ments for a seasion of Parliament which will be devoted almost entirely to war measures.The Ministers propose, but Buil- er and Joubert dispose.A victory on the Tugela and the relief of Ladysmith will clear both the military and the political situation.Buller's defeat and the down fall of Ladysmith would render the reconstruction of the Ministry inevitable; indeed, it is not impossible that there may be a change in the War Office, even if Buli- er\u2019s strategic combination be carried out with substantial success.Mr.Balfour has been loyal to Lord Lansdowne, and has accepted without reserve the constitutional heory of the collective responsibility of the Ministry, but he cannot be blind to the dangers and inconvenience of Parliamentary discussion upon the conduct of the war and public criticism of military methods.: \u201cLord downe can ease the burdens of the Government by consenting to exchange seats with one of his colieagues,and Liberal-Unionists journals like the Spectator, are urging him to take this magnanimous course.Lord Lansdowne is, however, a better martinet than martyr; he knaws that his colleagues cannot dispose of him for their own convenience, and expects his devoted friend, George Wynd- am, to make adroit speeches in the House of Commons in defence of the War Office.The Liberals are anxious to leave the Ministers to stew in their own juice.\u201cSir Charles Dilke has sent up a trial balloon in his notice of an amendment ta the Queen's address, which will open up the subject of the conduct of the war.The Liberals are not likely to favour this course, and much pressure will be brought to bear upon him.to withdraw the amendment, as an untimely attack.The tactics which Sir Henry.Campbell-Bannerman is believéd to favour are more cautious, he believes that the Unionist members, like their press, have developed strong critical faculties respecting the management of the war, and that they will harass the Ministers if left to themselves, whereas they will rally to the support of the Government if the signal for attack be raised from the Opposition side.\u201cMr.Herbert Gladstone made a speech last night at Leeds.\u201c He identified himself with the cause of Liberal Imperialiem, of which Lord Roeebery and Mr.Asquith are the chief exponents, and repudiated Mr.Balfour's plea that the hands of the Ministers were tied by the Jameson raiders.He asserted that no British Liberal would have obstructed necessary precautionary measures laat July, if the Government had stated plainly that the military preparations of the Transvaal constituted a grave danger to the Empire.\u201cThe York Liberals house found n candidate for Lord Chas.Beresford\u2019s seat who is described as a war man and a Liberal Imperialist of the same type as Mr.Asquith and Mr.Herbert Gladstone.He is Mr.Alexander Murray, known in Scotland as \u2018The Master of Elibank.\u2019* JHE NEW CENTURY NAVY.LONDON, January 22\u2014The new battleship Montague, now in course of construction at Devonport dockyards, will he equipped with the most complete propel ling machinery ever placed in a modern man-of-war.The engines will be the most powerful ever used in a battleship, devel- - .1.0ping an 18,000 indicated horse Pporer or, in excess of other ships of the bulwark type, they.being the largest and ul in the service of Great erence in the horse power of the es powcrful engines will only ive fhe ship an increased a of one not.The two mets of triple expansion en- i fines and thirty Belleville water tube ilers will cost $750,000.The total cost of the new warship Il be over $5,000,000.and its gun equipment will be so complete as to make it the most formidable war ves- \u2018mel afloat.It is the purpose of the Admiralty to construct the other proposed bat- Ueshi os of the navy 23 the fame gr t e, an e completion of this sp 2 ip will ode] for.th ré clans Lastlombipe 00 the futures and 2299 St.Catherine Street.- DEATHS - .Reported at the Star Office ;

life and a romantic story is told of his brief married condition.woman, much younger than himself, for whom, however, he bestowed only a Platonic affection.They were unsuited to each other and the lady found more cope genial companionship with the artist Mil- lais (the late Sir John E.Millais), whom Ruskin had engaged to paint her picture.The husband soon perceived this, asked his wife if she had not made a mistake in marrying him and was frankly answered in the affirmative.The feelings of Millais were sundered and when the husband dis covered that the artist had that in his heart for the woman which he himself could not give.he decided upon a remarkable step.A divorce took place and the lady became the wife of Millais, who still retained Rus kin\u2019s warm friendship.WAS SUBJECT TO DELUSION.The country house in which Mr.Ruskin lived is Brantwood, beautifully and romantically but uahealthfully : situated at the base of a hill into which it is, in fact, partially built.Tt is dencely surrounded by trees and shrubbery, and is near the edge of Con- iston Lake, in the beautiful English Jake A superstition pmong the ignorant eign hours declares that the curse of insanity is sure to fall upon the proprietors of Brant- wood.This is based no doubt upon the fact that an artist named Lynton, ite former proprietor, went mad and died there.In 1896 Mr.Ruskin was bzlieved to be very near death's door.Shortly after he began to gain, in the face of the declaration of the physicians that death was inevitable in a few hours.Ruskin was subject to delusions, often of a painful character.The most obstinate of these was the idea that he was ut perl ruined and upon the verge of starva- ion It is not hard to guess the origin of this delusion.For if ever a rich man was reck- lesely generous, Ruskin was le.is father left him a large fortune, but during the forty years in which he has controlled it.his one aim seems to have been to get rid of it as quickly as possible.Five years ago, out of the half hilion his father left, only about £7,000 remained.The rest went in gifts\u2014sometimes as much as £50, at a time-to relatives whom he considered it his duty to support; in providing education and living expenses to young artists whom he believed to show \u2018promise; in splendid donations to museums and public institutions, and in the purchase of an immense collection of valuable pictures and other works of art, which he intends to leave to the English nation.It was in 1886 that the first symptoms of any breaking down of Ruskin's mind be came apparent.It was at Oxford, where he was delivering a lecture.He suddenly became incoherent on the platform and: greaty exercised the feelings of a sympathetic audience.From that time until his death he has been subject to fits of temporary insanity.Sometimes these took the form of breaking all glasses within reach.Sometimes he refused all except liquid food.GREENWAY REPUDIATED.The Liberals of Manitoba Determined to

possibly if we had fuller reports of the tighting; but it is undeniably suspicious that the advance has been so hit- tle opposed up to date, so far as we are being told the facts.Still it is a tanking movement, and it may be that the British have outmanoeuvred the enemy very effect ively.The general expectation will be that a hard battle will yct be fought before Lady.smith can be relieved: but the farther back the British press the Boers before this last stand, the easier it will be for Genera! White and his gallant garrison to take a hand in the tussle.This fighting their way .toot hy foot over the country is more in the | 5 | epirit of modern civilized war than qusbee upon entrenchments, glorious and costly as they are General Buller is making a mag- niticent effort, and the hearts of the Bnt- ish peoule are with him.rer BRITISH APPRECIATION LONIAL LOYALTY.OF CO- Britona within the United Kingdom are, fairly blinking their eyes these days at the object lesson in real British unity furnished by the colonial troops fighting side by side with British regulars in South Africa.\u201cThe Empire in Action,\u201d the London Spectator calls it; and tells twice over with delight how the Toronto company cried joyfully At last!\u201d when it received the \u2018message on New Years Day to double into action.The gallantry of the Canadians and of the the gift of \u2018the Government.We would not Australians is dwelt upon again and again, ke -to hint that they did not profaise to do thieto the members appointed and probab- iy.to some whose appointments are yet to sine.But they were very modest about it.They made no boust of these promisen before the people.\u2018They bought the Drummond County Railway.Did they promise any- \u201cBody té do that?Quite porsibly they did, \"tut Mr.Paterson should teil ua to whom and when the promise was made, Noimen- tion of it occurs, vo far as we remember, in the procecdinga of the prehistoric Ottawa Convention of 1898.Yt is easy to think of things that the Lib- evsls have done which they mever promised to.do; but when we obme to look for ful filled promises, the task\u2019 is not æo simple.They promised to get rid of protection: but, mhon the responsibilities of office pressed on their shoulders, they found that they dared Coun - BONS.much as a foud father would tell you repeatedly of the bravery and prowess of his While the action at Sunnyside is frankly admitted to be \u2018\u201c\u2018no great affair, * * from a purely military point of view,\u201d the Spectator declares that nevertheless it \u201cstrikes us, and we are convinced will strike our readers, as affording, if on a small, yet on a perfectly accurate scale, a presentment of one of the moat important facts that ever did, or ever could, happen, in the history of the world.That fact is the evolution of an effective unity in action throughout the worldwide British realm.\u201d This is strong language: but is it not justified ?British unity is British pre servation: \u2018and while we in Canada have knoŸn for a long time that our people were enthusiastically with he paper for the defence of the Emp THE MONTREAL DAILY STAR\u2014MONDAY JANUARY 22, 1900 it is not surprising that the fact was not so well known by the men of the British Isles.The Spectator drews from the aplétidid- spectacle several lessons.The firet is the puncturing of the pretension that this war is the work of an ambitious Minister, swayed by a ring of unscrupulous financiers.If this were so and there were no justice in the British cause, how is it that the colonies, .intormed by a free press, have been so eager to go to the as sistance of the \u2018\u2018conspiracy\u201d\u2019 * Then there is the obvious display of strength in the \u2018fighting union of the whole Empire.This is a result which cannot fail to impress any who think of attacking Britain in any quarter of the world.They will have no longer only the British Isles to reckon with, but the Greater Britain, always growing in wealth, ability and population.\u2019 Another point that the Spectator makes is that the world has nothing to fear from this new strength.Jt is too diffuse to be aggressive, aud too wide-scattered to be united in any conspiracy of plunder.Bays the Spectator: \u201cThese who direct the policy of the leading partner in this vast commonwealth will be under no temptation to enter upon dangerous or unscrupulous courses through thinking that the Empire will be behind them.For the Empire, as they will we! know, will not be behind them exept in the vindication of causes vital to British honour iu the highest or to British interests in the widest, sense.Such causes, as we believe, can never be really at variance with the true welfare of mankind at large.And so in the very nature of the resources now revealed for the practically limitless reinforcement of British power lies, we hold, the most complete security against its abuse, either in South Africa at the end of the present Wary.or at any future time.\u201d \u2019 In so far ax the colonies can strengthen the tendeney toward righteousness in Britain\u2019s foreign policy, they will be doing a great service to the worid and a greater to the Empire.No power that does not deserve to live will in the long run survive; and when Britain begins to found her Empire upon power, unjustified by liberty and justice, she will find herself building on sand.But a just rule may be temporarily overthrown by arbitrary power; and it is a gplendid thing for the Empire to be able tovestablish in the sight of the whole world the readiness of its sons to the uttermost parts of the earth to come to its support in the hour of peril.We of the colonies are deligbted to find our loyalty appreciated by the people of the United Kingdom; but we will be understood 1! we remind them that it is simple loyalty to our Empire and to ourselves.THE QUEBEC LEGISLATURE.\u201cSaturday Was Devoted to Social Fes- | tivities Instead of Politics.(Special to the Star.)

bombshell among the alderman\u2019s friends.Not one of them ventured to mike any kind of a reply, except Mr.Lafortune, who referred to it as \u201cnothing worth mentioning.\u201d - According to

BY DECLARATION.On Saturday afternoon a Star reporter called on Mr.H.Albert Dansereau, who keeps a hotel at the corner vi Notre Dame and Desery street, Hochelaga.In reply to questions by the reporter, Mr.Dansereau replied: \u201cI have made my declaration, and Ustand by it.lt contains the facts as-far as I can remember them.All I regret is, I destroyed the notes at the time, for they would be additional proof.My brother,for whom I sought the position.is now in the United States.My mother remembers perfectly that, at my reque.i che endorsed threc notea payable to bearer.bat, of course she does not know to whom 1 gave the notes.\u201cAld.Dupre may take action against me as soon as he pleases, d the higher the amount of his action more costs he will have to ALD.DUPRE'S EXCUSE.Ald.H.Dupre was also seen by a Star reporter, and when asked whether he had anything to say on the subject, made the following statement: + \u201cThe affidavit does not say that I got the meney for my influence, but that T got the notes to secure the support of another alderman.Dansereau came here and asked me if T would support his brother as assistant clerk of Bonsecours Market.I said, \u2018yes, air, with pleasure.\u2019 \u201d\u201d \u201cHe then asked: \u2018Do you think I can sue- ceed \u201cI replied: \u2018I do not know.Did you see any of the other aldermen of the committee \u201cDansereau answered: \u20181 am sure of Ald.ay There may be some of the aldermen who will want money for their support.\u201d \u201cI then said: \u20181 do not know; I Four nothing about that.1 have told you frankly that I would support your brother for the position, and I do not want any money.\u2019 \u201cHe then asked: \u2018Could you lend me 1 | où said: \u2018No, I have no money to lend.\u2019 \u201cHe then askedYme to discount his note for 8200, and I refused.He theu spoke of his brother's circumstances, saying Adonias was poor and badly in need of employment, and asked me to do all T could to help him out.Seeing that he was from my own native parish, Vercheres; and that I had for vears done business with his father, was disposed to do all 1 could.T said to him.Uf vou asked we to discount a note, that would be signing an accommodation note.I have never done so.\u201d I insisted on hot signing the note, and 23 he kept o on u me to help him out, I said at even if I wanted to discount your note, i have no security.You have no property, and if you happened to die, would have to depend upon your estate, and I do not know what that is worth, and I might lose.\u201cHe then asked: \u2018What if I got a good endorser.\u2019 I said: \u2018Then I would discount the note.\u2018He then asked what kind of an endorser, would you accept.Will you accept my mother?I answered: \u2018T will, for the sake of the family.\u201d I do not know whether he signed the note and his mother endorsed it, or whether it was signed by the mother \"and endorsed by the son.He wished the notes divided, payable at differ: ent dates.[ agreed to this, as I waa merely giving him the money to help him out.\u2019 He said, \u201cIf 1 succeed in doing business, [ will use the money, and if not, well, I will not need it.\u201d He brought me three notes for 8200 and I put them in my safe.I have no knowledge that any of the aldermen were approached, but he did not come for any money.The question of the appoint: ment came up in committee.Either Ald.Jacques or I proposed Adonais nhereau as assistant clerk of Bohsecours Market.Some other Aldermen proposed Mr.Emond, who had been a clerk in the market for vears.A vote was taken, and Emond got | the position of assistant clerk.Then Jacques or I proposed to give Dansereau Emond\u2019s place aa collecting clerk, and this motion was carried, I think unanimously.Adonais Dansereau refused to accept the position, and Albert peine for his three notes, and 1 returned them to him.18 SUBSTANTIALLY CORRECT.\u201cThat is the whole story.When the affi- avit was read, I understood it accused me £ getting the notes for myself; but I got a py of Dausereau\u2019s declaration this morn-.ihg, and 1 see thy it states the notes were r the purpose of securing the support of another alderman.I had intended taking action against Dansereau, but I find now at the affidavit is substantially correct, though.he is mistaken on one or two

NEW SMOKING CARS.There are now running on the Canadian Pacific line between Montreal and Detroit, two first-class cars which are beautiful specimens of the car-builders\u2019 art.In these cars are combined features which have heretofore not been embodied in rail- wy carriages for day travel.One of these cars, which bears the number 600, was at the Windsor station on Saturday afternoon, and was the subject of the admiration ôf the officials and m@ny people who happened to be around the station.From the outside these cars have the appearance of the ordinary first-class cars in use on the line, but a step inside at once convince the traveller that his comforts have been well provided for.The entrance is of the vestibule order.Entering the door of the car proper, one is carried away with the idea that he has made a mistake, and has got into the sleeping-car, for the first thing he strikes is a smoking compartment, a new idea in first-class cars.Continuing along the passage to the main salon, it might be called, it is at once evident that another change has been made.The arches in centre of the cars - which have been à feature on the Canadian Pacific, have been done away with, thereby affording a clear view f from one end of the car to the other.The seats are of the high back order ahd of the most comfortable pattern.The upholstering 18 of terracotta plush.The woodwork is

The men of Battery \u201cFE\u201d were given a es: particularly hard time of it.After a hard ES day's work they were made to parade for the distribution of Khaki uniforms after Which they had just about enough time to prepare for tea and take in the Smoker.KICKING IN ŸNE EANKS.\u201cThe kicking.in the ranks wax vigoumus.One chap remarked that the contingent in \u201cStd present stale was worse than a mob.There was no system, and the men were taken in a haphazard sort of way for duty.In this way some of the chaps came an for more than their share of fatigue work.They were picked out on sight, and théugh they may have just .eturned from several hours work it made no difference.Others more fortunate were given a Int of time, and the \u201cgrumbling over thé TMéquity of the arrange: ments was marked.After the concert for- \u201c ty-seven men were picked out of \"ET Bat + \u201ctery and detailed for daty at Richmond.A number of horses had To he handled and \u2018the boys were comneiled to march out in a drizzling rain and work all night long.Af 7 ter spending \"two dave on the road from : Quebeu.the extra work left most of them thoroughly exhausted and they dropped asleep on all sides, many preferring to go without \u201cbreakfast to get forty winks.For those who did without breakfast, hard-tack and water was the only alternative, and there were many who refused to partake of this tough diet.BUSY LOT OF OFFICERS.The officers in command were very busy.A hundred and one things remained to be a _ completed, and a number of things had to be leit undone in order to get the men on board ship.Neveral of the companies\u2019 rosters were uncompleted and only a general list of names could be secured.\u201d Chronological order was ignored in the arrangement of the names, which wis left to be finished on board ship.Even the members of \u201cD Battery, who had been in town for several days, were recorded only in a general way.\"Letter writing engaged the attention of all who could get a chance to drop a last line.The tables provided for the use of the men were all filled and those who could not get s place used improvised desks formed of blankets or other parts of the kit.Along , the armoury windows the men were closely huddled together writing a last line to mother.The Star man brought away a pocketful of epistles to the post-office and the orderly entrusted with the last communica tions was lpaded down with matter.The forage men and the farriers were early astir, feeding the horses and looking over the shoes preparatory to the long voy: sge; of 6,000 miles.The mounted rifles, consisting of the Canadian Dragoons, the Canning and New Brunswick Hussars, and the North-West Mounted Police, were also early on the move.They to escort the members of \u201c\u201cF\u2019\u2019 and \u201cD\u201d bat- terien to the transport.The cavalrymen .were on foot, and although they looked well, yet they would have presented a much finer appearance

far and near to get a lust glimpse at their boys and to say good-bye, but the brave fellows, although touched perhaps by these little incidents, exhibited not the slightest indication that they regretted the step they had taken.They were certainly to be admired, marching with light foot to the protection of the Old Flag.The departure of the men was a sight that thrilled with enthusiasm the hearts of the thousands of spectators.It fired within them the feeling of loyalty and patriotism that gave vent in continuous cheering.Ovation after ovation greeted the soldiers all along the line, Halifax turned out en masse.The march from the Armoury through the streets to the dockyard was a triumphal one.The buildings on the line of route were decorated with flags, bunting and illuminated transparan- cies.Thousands of flags floated from house tops.The windows of the stores and dwellings were crowded with people.The spectacle at times was surprisingly grand.CHEERED TO THE ECHO.Thousands of throats sent up cheer ofter cheer, the echoes of which extended beyond the city.Ladies fluttered their handkerchiefs to the breeze as the brave boys filed them en route to the transport.a sight that will live for ever in th® remembrances of those who saw it.Tt was a scene that told in unmistakable language that the old military town of Halifax was loyal to the Empire: it was a spectacle that was inspiring, and one that told the departing troops that the wave of patriotism that had started\u2019 in such a magnificent way at Quebec a few davs ago.increased in volume when it reached lfalifax, and reproduced the pomp.grandeur and excitement which marked the send-off extended to the first Canadian contingent.This undescribable and remarkable demonstrative.farewell will have the effect of stirring the brave fellows .A BUGLE CALL TO ARMS.Ere daylight broke the bugle call at the camp at Willow Park called the men to arma, About the same hour the trumpet wounded an.early awakening alarm at the Armoury.Soon all was stir and bustle, and everybody was ready for the embarkation.\u2019 None of the men were sorry that the word had come to move, and viewing the men on parade, just as the morning darkness was giving place to that of the light of day, one could not but appreciate the sacrifice they were making for the good of the Empire and the honour of our own Canadian land.Hurriedly the men were ordered on parade, and the roll call showed that all were vresent and all were well, Those who had been invalided to the hospital were able to respond to the call.The troops presented a fine appearance.They are the pick of thousands, the courage and manhood of Britain's premier colony: a gathering from many parts of the great Dominion.AH were on hand ready for the start.After breakfast the kits were served, and the excitement commenced.The dav previaus had brought to the city train loads of people.Some came merely to on more important missions.Those who visited the barracks at the Military Camp at Willow Park were interested in the little groups, wives were taking farewells of their husbands and others of loved friends.Some had come from the gates of the Gold en West, others had come from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and others from New Brunswiek and Nova Scotia, all on the same mission.SCENES DURING INSPECTION.The scene at the Drill Hall during the inspection of the volunteers by Major-General Hutton was one long to he remembered: The men were enthusiastically cheered when they lined up on the main floor of the Drill Hall.They were attired in great coats and looked ideal soldiers.It was 11 o'clock when the bugle call for the bands was sounded.and a few minutes after Major General Hutton and staff were received with a general salute.The band played ** The Soldiers of the Queen.\u201d The inspection was a most minute one.Every man was critically examined.The Major-General was ac- eompanied in hia inspection by Maj.Hurd- Maj.Moody, of the North-West Mounted Police, and Lieut.-Colonel Irving.The galleries were crowded with spectators, and thousanda were on the main floor, kept in order by | mounted police and civil police.The men were all in their great coats, and the offi cers wore great coats with lace equipment, presenting a very smart appearance.ADDRESSED BY GENERAL HUTTON.Aîter the inspection Major Hurdman gave the command \u201cbrigade divisions, come to attention.\u201d and then Major-General Hutton addressed the brigade.He said he congratulated \u201cD\u201d and \u201cE\u201d Batteries on being the first of the Royal Canadian Artillery to go to take part with the Imperial troops in a campaign.A great responsibility rested with each man, and he asked them to bear in mind what is their honour is Canada\u2019s honour.the honour of the Dominion troops.They have before them a campaign which may tax their physical powers and an im: mense voyage to the theatre of operations, and there is nothing that tires men more, especially when they havé the care of -à large number of horses.Speaking to Major Hurdman, the Major-General hoped the interior economy arrangements were the best possible in conformity with the Imperial re- ulations.If the batteries failed in anything ¢ Khew it would be only for want of experience.They were brought togethér from the whole of enstern Canada, representing the military force of the Dominion and having been recruited and equipped in much quick time as they had been it might be impossible to avoid some little shortcomings, but he asked the men to make the best of it and do their duty urider all cireum- stances, on the sea, in camp, on the march, and in the field of battle.LIEUT.-GOVERNOR SPOKE.The address of the Major-General was applauded by the men, who a moment later wére brought to attention again for an ed.dress by the Lieut.-Governor.His Honour said he was glad of the opportunity of saying a word or two to the batteries before they started on their long and somewhat perilous journey.The general commanding the Canadian troops had addressed to them timely words of advice, kindly put and pregnant with meaning.Governor of Nova Scotia he would like to endorse every word of the Major .General's remarks.At the time of the Crimea.\u201cWhat will England say?\u201d became an anthem, but now the question is: \u201cWhat is England saying!\u201d

of Militia, Dr.Borden, next addressed the officers and men.He said he did not feel that be could add anything to the words already so eloquently express ed.But on his own be and on behalf of his colleagues present and Bir Wilfrid Laurier, who wished to be present, but was prevented by his public duties, to exprees the strongest wishes for the welfare and success of the soldiers.ber,\u201d said Dr.Borden, \u201cthat there are thousands of men, perhaps equally as good, equally anxious as you to go forth and fight the battle of the Empire, but the guod fortune has fallen to you to represent this great Dominion at the front.Do not forget your responsibilities.\u201d He felt sure the men would do their duty by their Queen and flag, and told them what honour they gain ed would be the honour of Canada, and the Empire.He wished them God-speed, a safe voyage, a successful campaign, and a hap- Py return to their own country.Major Hurdntan, on behalf of himself and officers and men, thanked the speakers for their kind words and wishés, and as sured them that the brigade would do its duty no matter wbere and when.He was satisfied his men would give a good ac count of themselves.Early in the morning the people began to assemble, and long before the hour named for the parade and inspection of the troops at the Armoury thousands of exci spec: tators were gathered and every minute added to the multitudinous throng.The residents of Halifax had turned out to give the boys a send-off worthy of the city from which they were taking their departure on a long journey fraught with bazards and responsibilities, and from which some at least may never return.The vast concourse of people was a thoroughly representative one.Persons of all c s, irrespective of creed, race or position, mingled together, and shouted as loud as their lungs would permit.The spirit manifested was one actuated by patriotism, BAFFLED DESCRIPTION.The electric cars displayed numerous flags.The drivers of private carriages decorated their horses with the Union Jack.ies waved their handkerchiefs and joined in the cheering.When the iron bound gates of the armoury were surging back and the troops emerged from the imposing structure, a scene which baffled description ensued.Seven miltary bands were lined up in front.of the big armoury.They consisted of two bands from the Leinsters, 66th, PL.F.and « 83rd 1 ist C There was lots of music, and bandmasters all made good selections of atriotic airs.It was a grand musicale rom the start of the route to the end, and as one band ceased playing another took up the strains and carried them on.It was a tramp tramp, in perfect time and went along with a swing that would have done credit to regulars.- he sound of music and \u201cThe Volunteers are Coming\u2019 was thé shout which started at the Armourv entrance and quickly pase ed down the long line of spectators as far as the eye could see.en and women, hoys and girls made a wild effort to obtain a good view of the Canadians as they swung along to the inspiring strains of the Lein- ster band.The troops marched off in the highest spirite, and with bands playing and colours uncased, proceeded their way to the transport Laurentian which, with her flying - flags and streamers, and nearly 400 orses, awaited the coming of the rest of the complement.At the corner of Cogs well and North Park atreets the crowd was further augmented, and the troops found it difficult to march.The slope of the citadel facing Park street was covered with spectators, It was a wild and howl ing crowd, and as the soldiers marched towards South Park street, those on the citadel joined with the thousands of spectators on the street, producing a spectacle that Halifax may never see again.When the troops reached the corner of Sackville and South Park streets, the large number including men from the- R.E.& R.A.barracks, cheered with one long con- tinuoua roar.The route was down South Park street to Inglis street.The soldiers owned.the streets for the time being.The electric cars were tied up and traffic suspended.Stirring scenes were enacted all along the route.When approaching the business portion on Barrington.street the thoroughfare became congested with an excited mass of humanity.It was a spectacle that thrilled the onlooker.Tt was tators to meditate for a moment upon the stirring scenes enacted in old England when a wild and demonstrative mob is bidding farewell to a regiment departing for the war.It was the first time that Halifax had fully realized the importance of such nn event.One part of Barrington street was & solid human mass which completely blocked the way, but the police managed to clear à passage for the contingent.e volunteers did not mind.the hustling and the bustling.They rather enjoyed it.SOME PATHETIC INCIDENTS.All along the line of march sad little in- idents were noticed.Now and im-a-wo- man would vigourously fight her way to her husband or boy and ere she could grasp him tigntly by the hand and bestow à kiss, she was ruthlessly torn from her loved one's side and carried along with the crowd.The boys who caught the eyes of the Haligonians were orge Fletcher, John Jago, Irving Tooker and others who enrolled in Halifax, and the ovation accorded to them was continuous.Perhaps one of the most interesting sights in connection with the demonstration was the marching of three brothers side by side, Edw.J.Bramab, Thomas Bra- mah and William Bramah.They marched together as soldiers of the Queen, going to South Africa brimful of revenge, as one of the family bas met death by a bullet from a Boer rifle.trio came to Halifax to see his boys off, and be was one of the most interested of apec- tators.The many strings of flags and gaily decorated show windows added to what was a t spectacular show, crowded with exciting incidents.AT THE DOCKYARD.It was at the dockyard that the full significance of the departure of the troops burst upon the observer, There, close by, uestled to the wharf, lay the Laurentian- The.ship had been at the quay for 48 hours, and during that time her winchés have been

although the work had hardly been completed there was enough done to five a good idea of the accommodation to which the men would be subjected during passage.he first class rooms where officers and nurses are quar tered were very neat and clean.The bi saloon had been tastefully arranged with flowers and looked like home.Que of the large tables was already set for dinner.There was no question of an enjoyable voyage so far as the commanders were concerned.All the conveniences of an Allan passenger boat were there, and there was no overcrowding in any department.The men were to bunk aft, where between decks their hammocks were swung and the priging individuals, however, managed to arrange an entrance and tar man-was.{- one of these.Along every avenue of the à d MONDAY, JA spectacle, even if only visible a short distance away, and the presence of so much \u2018gold lace added greatly to the general effect.- After ~the -rain- commenced to- fall the square in front of the ship resembled a miniature lake, Everything was floating, and as this was to be the parading ground of the troops the prospect of extensive evolu: tions was not promising.Gradually stragglers who had been off on duty of various kinds began to file in and marched singly on board ship.They were not more than a score in number and were nearly all from Ottawa.They had been entrusted with the finishing touches and had thus escaped a three or four mile tramp under most unfavourable conditions.NURSES ATTRACTED ATTENTION.The pretty Red Cross nurses proved to be cynosures.They were four in number: Miss Hurcombe, Ottawa; Miss Richardson, Regina; Miss McDonald, Pictou, and Mise Howe, Montreal.Miss Hurcombe, who is in charge, arrived first.She was accompanied by Miss Richardson, who is a sister of Mrs.(Colonel) McDonald.The other two ladies subsequently arrived on the scène and were heartily cheered.\u201cTo the Star correspondent they express ed every satisfaction at being enabl to serve their Queen and country.You know | we must tell everything to the Star,\u201d re marked Miss Richardson, \u201cbut really we do not know what we are going to do ourselves Beyond the fact that we have two khaki uniforms and two sailor hats, we don\u2019t know what they are going to do with ua Miss Hurcombe told the Star to be sure end express the nurses\u2019 appreciation of their re ception on the ship.The quarters were ex cellent and everybody was very kind.The orders given were indefinite, but it was supposed the nurses would go right to the front with the ambulances.It did not matter much, however, where they were ordered, / » [9 y di NN \\ NY Qu tables arranged.The ship was provided with seating accommodation for about 450 men, and as there were over 100 less than that number the boys will he enabled to get elbow room.Up over head the ham- modks were swung and on each was plainly stamped in big white letters the number of the owner.Coaking arrangements were such that no unnecessary odors would gigne trate the dining and sleeping quarters, which are well ventilated and fairly light.Most of the young soldiers were at lenst contented with their surroundings, while those who had already tasted some of the trials of war were more than satisfied with their lot.A few kickers could be found, although several were inclined to make a mountain out of a mole hill.Up on deck and within easy reachs/of the sleeping quar ters the canteen and hospital were located.The tops of both of these imposing public piles were capped with pressed hay.so that it was hardly possible to pass judgmen on their architectural beauties.Pern hay in fact seemed to be the leading ornamentation of the deck.Every inch ot available space was devoted to hay, and much of the apace which would naturally fall to the men for exercise was occupied by fodder.The obstruction, however, will be quickly removed as these barriers tn the men's comfort will be fed out first.Away forward rose pile upon pile of crates, containing several hundred sheen.The animals did not zecem to know what to make of it all.and should the trooper encounter heavy weather there will surely be rome of them missing.They were in a most

dedi sion to only pull off in the stream was reached.No provision has n made for exervising the heasts.Space was too limited to permit that, but slings are ready to rest chargers to prevent their legs from swelling.Over the side of the Laurentian were sus- nded her official designation \u2018Canadian Jontingent\u201d fore, and \u201cNumber 2\u201d aft, in big white letters wbich will be sufficient

which are so frequently seen in Halifax.Some little time before the troops renched the dockyard the military dignitaries com: menced to arrive.Among the first on hand was Major-General Hutton and

was three chaplains, Rev.Cox, Rev.Mr.Lane, and Rev.Father Sinett.By some mistake all three had been ordered to leave on the Laurentian, leaving the Pomeranian and Milwaukee without a spiritual adviser.When.the mistake was discovered Hon.Dr.Borden straightened it out, and Rév.Mr.Cox was selected to accompany the ship.Father Sinett will go ap the Pomeranian and Rev.Mr.Lane will rail on the

came the fife and drum band of the 686th P.L.F.leading the sturdy artillerymen to the strains of \u201cSay Au Revoir, But Not Good-bye,\u201d while the 63rd Rifle Band played \u201cIt's Long Ago Since You Left Me.\u201d Reaching the square in front of the ship, the men were lined up in double column.Bix of the bands were placed the rear.The Leinsters\u2019 Band of fifty pieces, in addition to fife and drum corps, rendered \u201cAn Absent Minded Beggar,\u201d in style.They were at the head of the Mounted.Rifles, who took up a position some distance away from the two batteries.It was the end of*the march and in a few minutes the boys would be on ship.Major Williams called them to attention and after putting them through one, or two movements gave orders for embarkation.MEN WERE SOON ON BOARD.| It was quickly accomplished.Commencing with number one séction of Dattery \u201cD\u201d the men were led on board by their respective sergeants amid the playing of appropriate airs and ordered to their quarters.No command was necessary.After at least eight hours\u2019 work on an empty stomach dismissal was welcome.Some of the boys had fiot broken fast for iwenty hours, and one member.of \u201cE\u201d Battery fell almost fainting into the arms of a comrade.\u201cWhat-are we going to do?\u201d asked one.\u201cWe're gaing to eat, thank God,\u201d came the reply, and the pathos in the voice of the latter speaker told a tale of utter exhaustion and the tahles below were quickly filled, twelve men surrounding each one.In the meantime the Rifles were marched down alongside the ship and formed in double ranks and hardly had the men below finished their plate of soup when they were ordered on deck to line the side of the Ty responded, and somewhat Te er by their hasty lunch they made things lively for the next hour.CHEERS FOR THE BOYS.Hon.Dr.Borden, Hon.Mr.Mulock, and Hon.W.8.Fielding'had reached the ship by this time and occupied a position near Genera! Hutton.: \u201cThen came the most inspiring scene of the dav.\u201cRifles attention\u201d came the order from Maior Hurdman, \u201cHands to caps.\u201d \u201cCaps off,\u201d followed and then amidst per fect silence rang out.the word.\u201cTh cheers for our Comrades bound for Africa.\u201d It was not alone the Rifics that responded.Every cap in the dockyard went off and the three cheers and a tiger which Followed, almost raised the for.\u2018They were genuine cheers and were followed on the suggestion of Major General Hutton by three more that they might meet in Afri- \u2018D\u2019 and \u201cE\u201d Batteries ship.Tired though they were, the quick, ] a a ca.The boys of * were mest effective in Loni reply.They answered the ring of thé rifles with th: roar of ordinance and the ship trembled as they shouted back their compliments.After a few rema by Major Genera) Hutton, the Rifles were ordered to bar racks and the men were left to themselves to get whatever fun they could out of the remaining hour.EXCHANGED KISSER FOR BUTTONS.By this time about three hundred spectators were admitted to the pier including many of the fairest aughters .o the city.They were right in their element and from the time of their arrival until the ship pulled out from -the wharf, there were many funny incidents.Souvenirs of all kinds were in demand and all morts of trades were made.Blushing maidens threw kisses for buttons and pot the button and a dozen kisses in exchange.It was a time when evergthing passed and everybody took full advantage of their freedom.The Mont real boys were the life of the whole party, én Been here, They had full possession of the rear part of the vessel and were given carte blanche.During the remained of the time the ship was at the dock they continued to entertain spectators with songs and jokes and roara of laughter greeted their every sally.Montreal clearly outc wa.The lads from the Capital made a desperate attempt _to steal the Montrealers powder but they did not get there.The latter were in full command and placed parties all over i acted as leaders in choruses and yells and as there were some excellent voices among the ranks the effect was very pleasing.Biss, boom, bah; Sies, boom bah: .Montreal, Montreal, Rah, , rah.This cry rang out again and again in oppositon to Ottawa\u2019s yell.After amusing themselves with thie and other cries for some time they decided to ogle each maid and dame and the fun which followed was of the most hillarious nature.Belts, buttons, buckles, knives, cakes of moan and towels were fished out and bartered away for little handkerchiefs, kisses, (onl thrown) hatpins and other lithe knic knacks.In some cases ladies fell over one another in their eagerness to get posees- sion of articles from the boys.Dut good things can\u2019t last for ever and soon it was noticed that decks were being cleared and reparations were being made to cast off the fines.Gen.Hutton and wife bade the officers and nurses farewell and as they walked down the gangway the ery @ave three rousing cheers and tiger.It was a tting close he t event as General Hutton proudly returned thanks on his and wife\u2019s behalf the cheering was renewed.THE FINAL GOOD-BYE.Bcarcoly had the generals touched the wharf when the big fine forward was\u2019 cast off and the real farm pon Out of fog came a cou of \u2018tugs, With Spectators, and they cheered them- elves hoarse in answer to hurrahs from the Laurentian.Slowly the big steamer swung out, and when her bow was straight ened away she forged \u2018slowly ahead.Cheers for Halifax were given in a most hearty manner, for the boys were grateful to the Haligonians, .who.did everything possible to make their stay comfortable, and would have done more had the men been given.more time to partake of hospitality.Ladies waved handkerchiefs and umbrellas, and men yelled and used canes and hats express their feelings.Gradually the ship moved out of sight and felt her way to anchorage in front of the citadel.As she dis- a from sight strains of \u201c\u201cBreals the News to Mother\u201d came floating through the hare, every one of the three hundied voices halped to swell the chorus.FIRED TWENTY-ONE ROCKETS.As the Laurentian passed along the water front she fired twenty-one rockets.e ex- losions served to guide the steamers Mac- fay, Bennett, and Newfeld, which put off and convoyed the troopship to anchorage.It was dangerous work moving around in the fog, however, and the cable steamer put back to the wharf after a short time.The Newfield stayed alongside for some time sailing around the transport and distributing fruit among th Th h the men.e lined wp the side of the Laurentian in answer to the criès of the spectators, were 1E-W-B 1 ter, J.Wide both laden | be : Heavy Fog Prevented Laurentian F rom Leaving Halifax Till 8 a.m.Sunday.given a A fo graceful obeisancea.It was the Jaat that the boys would see of x ians, beyond _row-boats, which | put off with despatches, no further communication was had with the ship.Nothing more fortunate than the prevailing fog could have fallen to the lot of the .æecond contingent.After six o'clock the wind began to blow from the south-east, and three hours later a hurricane prevail: od.The wind attained fearful velocity, and the rain came down in solid sheets.It was one of the worst storms of the season, and even in the harbour u heavy swell prevailed.In the unsettled condition which existed on the ship serious consequences would have followed had the Laur- entian left port during the day.Instead of standing on beam ends or Tolling her bridges under, however, she lay quietly at anchor and rode out the fury of the gale until at eight o\u2019clock Sunday morning she cefully glided out of port.Few saw r depart, but many hearts went with her, and will accompany the ship to ber destination, Town.The 8 dent interviewed e tar Major-General Hutton as to the embarkation, and he expromed himself as delighted with the way things were conducted.Not a hitch occurred from start to finish.With and willing men, eaid the ect order , and so it has een.\\\u2018 Hon.Messrs.W.8.Fielding and Mulock also spoke i nthe highest terms of the way things had been carried out.Nothing was left to complain of, and officers and men had shown what Canadians can do.Hon.willing officers Major General, nothing but Dr.Borden joined in the general feeling of tification.as.to the exclusion of ne public from the dockyard, he stated that it was the right thing to do, The public had ne right to be present, and the Pomeranian and Milwaukee would leave under the same conditions.KEPT THE MINISTERS OUT._ Even Cabinet Ministers did not escape the order for exclusion from the dockyard.Hon.Dr.Borden and Hon.Messrs.Fielding and Mulock were all victime of red tape.\u2018The three walked down and were confronted by the sentinel, who demanded their pass es.They had none, however, probably trusting to their position to admit them.When refused, Dr.Borden volunteered the information, \u201cI am Minister of Militia.\u201d \u201c7 don\u2019t care if you are Minister of everything,\u201d 5 lied the sentinel;

Deceased by Rev.J.Edgar ill\u2014His Work as a Business Man, and a Citizen.An impressive memorial service for the late Mr.WW.W.Ogilvie was held in St.Andrew's Church yesterday morning, at which the Rev.J.Edgar Hill, D.D., offi- clated.The sacred edifice was wgell filled, the congregation including a large number of the prominent business men of the community, as well as several of the personal friends of the deceased, and the members of his family The pulpit, communion table and or loft were draped in black.Theÿservicé of prailse consisted of Par.52 \u201cTake Comfort, Christians\u201d ; hymn.\u2018Now the labourer's task Is o'er\u2019 ; anthem, \u201cCrossing the Bar\u201d ; hymn, \u2018 When our heads are bowed In woe\u201d; hymn, \u201cJesus lives no longer now.\u201d The Rev.J.Edgar Hill, pastor of the church, preached, taking as his theme, \u201cThe Religion of Diligence,\u201d and as lis text, \u201c\u2018Seest thou a man diligent in business.He shall stand before kings.He shall not stand before mean men.\u201d Proverbs xxii, 29.The rev.gentleman, after referring to the dignity of labour and the religiousness of toil, spoke as follows of the deceased: Within the circle of this congregation during the ninety-six years of its history, not a few of Canada\u2019s strong men have gathered and matured.In that roll of honour none filled a larger place in the commercial progress of Canada, nor applied himself with greater diligence to develop her national resources, nor interested himself more cordially in the life of her people, nor desired more sincerely the elevation and expansion of her ideals than Wil- lam Whtson Ogilvie.He was proud of Canada, and delighted to recall with enthusiasm THE STRIKING PROGRESS in which he had been an eager spectator and a busy worker and helper for more than fifty years.If ever there was a man with an appetite for honest work and whose joy was in the working.it was our departed friend.Presiding over a large business with such distinguished success, and giving of his time to promote a variety of business interests besides, if there was & busy man in Montreal it was he.And yet he never shrank from the vast responsibility, nor spared himself in the discharge of its duties, nor allowed its cares to cloud the cheery spirit he was of.He met with successs as he so well deserved ; but success never spoiled him.To the last he had the same full sympathetic heart for those who knew him well, and the same ready open hand for all who had been In his employ.who were deserving of help.Gratified, as he was justly entitled to beat his success, I know that it was a far deeper source of satisfaction to him that he had been able to help on the progress of Canada and contribute thereby to the prosperity and the well-being of so many of its people.He loved Montreal, and Montreal loved him.Many a one has remarked to me within the last ten days that ro death has occurred in our city for many years that seemed to move so deeply the heart of the community in all is classes, creeds and nationalities.The soul of the people does not so express itself without sufficlent cause.Montreal took Willlam Ogllvie to her heart because his heart went out fully to Montreal.Sixty-five years ago this church took up into her arms in Holy Baptism our departed fellow-member, and became responsible for him.How well she discharged that responsibility he was ever the foremost to acknowledge.How regularly he waited on her ministrations, how devoutly he joined in her devotions, how jealous he was of her honour, and how ready to promote her best interests, you all know very well, we shall miss him much.You, in a kindly, sympathetic fellow-worshipper \u2014I, in a ready, sympathetic hearer and friend, whose memory wlll ever be to me a precious treasure.This is neither the time nor place to speak of Mr.Ogilvie in the sacred relations of husband, father or brother.The sore hearts that to-day mourn for him speak a language far more eloquent than mine.But this I will say, that he has left behind him for the inspiration of those who bear his name, the best heritage of a &ood name, a tender heart, a diligent hand, and à generous spirit, to adorn which there can be no worthler ambition In man or woman.May God help them to be worthy.HIS COUNTRYMEN'S TRIBUTE.From ocean to ocean, and from far beyond the limits of Canada, spontaneous tributes have been borne to the thrill of regret which seizpd many a heart, when | the telegraph boro far ant wide the sorrowful tale of our friend's sudden and unexpected decease.It was a startling, unwelcome message with an appalling note of warning in it.It came to the strongest and the heartlest with a trumpet call, what next?It made us all feel that in the midst of life we are surrounded with death.It thrilled us with a sense of personal stewardship for the duties of the life that now is, and of thoughtfulness for the life that is beyond death and the grave.It cannot be the wish of any of us that that call should have fallen upon deaf ears; or that that heart-thrill should have come to depart and leave no trace behind.The character and work of our departed friend will long speak to Canada for example and encouragement.Shall the man- | ner of his death not speak also for coun- eel and direction and diligence in doing our duty more faithfully, thoughtfully and .tenderly, knowing that the day may be far spent, and the night -at-hand, when the scroll of duty will be sealed?THE MASTER BAKERS.The Master Bakers' Association, at a meeting held on Saturday evening in St.Joseph's Hall, Bt.Catherine st., unanl- mously passed resolutions expressing the regret of the association at the death of the late Mr.W.W.Ogilvie, and extending sympathy to his family.Mr.A.Go- hier presided over the meeting, and eulogistic addresses concerning the deceased were delivered by Messrs.E.Caumostin, Leon Charland, Watts, Lemieux and Glo- bensky, rent ST.GEORGE'S CHURCH ORGAN.A New and Up to Date Console Has Beèn Added\u2014Ingenious Devices.It was announced yesterday that the solo and echo organs which Mr.James Crath- ern is adding to the instrument in

few weeks a new and [-Old- Ironsides;-Knob- Hil -Victoria; Brook+ added to the present instrument.which fa also the gift of -Mr.Crathern to the church.The console consists of four manuals, and is the first of {ts kind to be manufactured by Messrs.Casavant, It fa constructed entirely on the electrie pnue- matic principle, and embraces all thy ins\u2019 test improvements in organ building.It contains 8 draw stops, 20 of these being purely mechanical, while the remainder open the sixty-five sets of pipes In the instrument.Besides the stops there are a number of electric pistons opening fixed combinations of stops.There Is also\u2019 a device whereby the organist can make his own combinations before commencing Aan instrumental number, and which allows him to draw these combinations, as they are needed.without touching a stop.The pedal board is replete with double acting pistons, which perform similar functions, as the piston of the manuals.There are two balanced swell pedals, the first acting on the swell organ, and the second on the echo organ, which, with the solo organ, will be situated tn \u2018the far end of the church.Since the specifications for the new portions of the instrument were printed some months ago, Mr.Crathern has added a number of pretty solo stops to the echo organ.When completed, St.George's organ will rank eighth among the big organs of the world.The bells, which Mr.A.F.Gault is placing In the tower of this church (13 fo number), have arrived from England, and are being hung.\u2014-0e- CANADIAN MINING NEWS.War Eagle Comes to the Front as a

extended, ang: the plant, machinery and buildings, so Wded to during the year that this gratifying result was achieved.No.1 shaft is down 210, feet, and No.2 shaft 350 feet.Drift# and crosscuts on the Old Ironsides aggregate over 1,600 feet at the 200-foot level, and: about 550 feet at the 300-foot level, and on the Victoria 950 feet at the 200 foot level, and 200 feet at the 300 foot level.The Kuok Hill is more of a tunnel proposition, its main tunnel being in 1,000 feet, with an equal distance runs in drifts ahd eross- cuts from it.Two alr shafts together give about 300 feet more work, and a winze is down 110 feet to eventually -con-'] nect at 200 feet deeper with a 1,200 foot drift now being run from No.8 shaft of the Old Ironsides.This group ia already equipped with a compressor, thres horizontal tubular bollers aggregating 240 horse power, four steam holsts, and ample pumping appliances.The compressor plant wlll be Increased from 10-drill to 50- drill capacity, and a new holst capable of lifting at one time 6,000 1bs.from a depth of 1,000 feet.Ore bins\u2014that for the Old Ir- onsides to hold 6,000 tons and those for the Knob Hil and Victoria 4,000 tons each\u2014are

MR.CHARLES S.STUART, 62 Allan- ford, writes: \u2018For twenty Jon, years was I & great sufferer from Catarth.I used without avall all the remedies advertised; changed my location on the advice of my physician; dld everything that lay \u2018In my power to do, but at last became;resignea to my suffering.The doctors said the case was of too long standing to be helped, \u2018and gave me up.My health was beginning to fail so rapidly that my family much alarmed.Finally a neighbour-ad- vised me to use Catarrhozone, and né a last resort I was induced to do so.I am happy to say that in a very: short time I was completely cured of Catarrh, and nothing but Catarrhozone, could have worked such a miracle.My strength has been ful-' ly restored, and no.signs of Catarrh have returned since using.your

Number of Other Interesting Judgments in the Civil Courts.» The Court of Appeal rendered the following judgments on Saturday: McFarran et vir (Mrs.Fulton), (plaintiffs in Superior Court), appellants, and the Mantreal Park and Island Railway Company (defendant in Superior Court), respondents.\u2014The appeai was from a judgment of the Court of Review reversing a Judgment of the Superior Court, which awarded the present appellants $6,000 damages for bodily fnjuries received in a railway collision at Cote des Nelges.The judgment of the first court was set aside and the action dismissed by the Court of Review, upon the ground that the plala- ff, Dame Sarah McFarran, being common as to property with her husband, had no right of action In the premises, and that the action should have been brought by the husband as the head of the community.In appeal, Mr.Justice Hall disseut- ing, Was of opinion to reverse the judy- ment.His Honour considered that the action was correctly taken in the name of the wife ; and on the merits he was of opinion that there was evidence of negii- gence on the part of the company.The Chief Justice considered that the plaintiff'3 action should not have been dia- missed on the technical ground assigned by the court below, because the point had not been urged by preliminary exception.On the merits, however, be was of opinion that negligence or fault had not been established against the company, and the verdict of the jury was not founded on the evidence.The judgment of the Court of Review was.therefore, sustained as to the merits of the case.The Bonsack Machine Company (plaintift tn court below), appellant, and Dame Minnie Falk et al (defendants In court below), resppndents.\u2014The action was to recover royalties amounting to $18,850 for the use nf two patent machines belonging to the plaintiff, which turned out cigarettes ready for the market.The court below dismissed the action In so far as it claimed rov- alties or rent for the use of the two machines after the 12th of May.1893.The Judgment further adjudged that the declaration made in the agreement between plaintiffs and S.Davis and Sons, dated the 26th of March, 1898, tliat all accounts between the parties to sald agreement had been settled up to the 12th of May, 1893, was erroneous and made by the appellan by error.and respondents were cond a are carried in black

people assembled in the Karn Hall yesterday afternoon at 2.30 to hear onc of the usual serles of sacred and classic concerts, which are being heid thera on Sundays during the season.Among them many regular music lovers and critics could be noticed.The applause, though apparently sincere, was not exuberant, as thé audience seemingly have not decided whether it is the proper thing to applaud at a Sunday concert or not, and probably it would be better not, for public favour is felt by the artist that deserves it.and the usual manifestations are not unecessary for to approach it in a proper spirit a Sunday concert is not a commer- clal speculation.or should not bé, and the artists can hardly require applause from a reward of thelr efforts.Mrs.Turner presided at the organ and alse played the accompaniments, and the piano part In the Mendelssohn sextette.In all she did she was artistic, and shed a certain mag- uetism over the concert which scemed to be communicated to the others.and helped to preserve the Interest.She ve a very dignified rendering of the Batiste or- «an selection, which was the opening piece, and ane could have wished she had played a.good deal more on the

for the ownership of a strip 6f land In rear of lot No.846, subdivision 6 of St.James Ward, of Montreal.The parties were owners of ._ tiguous lots.The court rendered an elaborate judgment on intricate points of law which arose in the case.There was a servitude on the property which it was alleg- held that the opening of a private hospital was not a reasonable cause of complaint.The plaintiff alleged further that defendant had encroached upon the plaintiff's property.The court came to the conclusion that plaintiff had not made out the case and dismissed the action.By Mr.Justice Doherty.Moody et al.vs.Methot et al.\u2014 The action was brought by the plaintiff to recover the price of a hay press, sold to defendants, the price, $300, being payable by four notes of $76_each.The plea was to the doing the work which it was represented that it could do.The actlon was maintaln- ed, and judgment was rendered ordering the defendants to hand over the four notes stipulated in the contract, or pay the sum of $300.By Mr.Justice Gill Perron vs.Bourdeau.\u2014Judgment by default for $111.46.Dame E.Manseau vs.Manseau, and the city of Montreal, garnishee.\u2014Judgment maintaining

yesterday.A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Effectual Cure for It.Catarrh of the Stomach has long been ton.sidered the next thing to incurable.\u2018The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation ot gases, causing pressure on the heart and lu and difficult \u2018breathing, headaches, fickle appetite, .nervousness and a general played out.languid feeling.There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition.e cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which caures the food to be readily.thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate muéous surfaces of the stomach.To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one nece thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal copdition will have disappeared.According to Dr.anson, the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal.- a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.These tablets can now found at all -drug \u2018stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will \u2018follow their regular | use after meals.Mr.N.:J.Booher, of 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill., writes; \u2018\u201cCatarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected sold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nost becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the throat reathes the stomach, thus producing catarth of the stomach.Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of atomach without cure, but to-day I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets.I cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling.I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.Stuart\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest ion as\u2019 well as the simplest and most convenient pemedy for any\u2019 form of indigestion,

NEW YORK, January 2.\u2014The success of the first concert given after a long Interregnum by the Seidl Society must have been very satisfying to its projectors.It was certainly satisfying to the large audience which enjoyed it.The big Academy of Music was practically filled, there being only a few vacant seals in tho buj- cony and galleries.During his five years\u2019 leadership of the Boston Bymphony Orchestra, Mr.Paut has made his influence profoundly felt.= He knows how to command as well as Interpret.Xo inspires his men; he dominates them.He is a man of intensity, of dramat- fc fire; he has temperament, eatholic tastes; he is a man of wide sympathies, and it goes without saylng that he is a man of profound musical learning ang artistic insight.Last year, his presence in New York was fully appreciated, although the 8ymphony Orchestra, to which was given his name.has not teen giving ¢ty.however, has done well under his control, and its concerts are notable for their excellence, Mr.Paur is also director of the German Operas given, and to be given.at the Metropolitan Opera House.He occu- ples a very important place in the musical affairs of this oity.The Beidl Boetety is to be congratulated\u20acupon having such a leader.This taken in connection with the executive ability of Mrs.Langford and other members of the society insures the success of the three concerts to be given.Dvorak's unique and interesting \u201cNew World Symphony,\u201d was rendered in a masterly manner at the first concert.Beethoven's charming Overture to Leonore, Number 3, was given in Mr.Paur's best manner, with all his exquisite shading, balance of tone and regard for the poetry of the music.Three lighter things were giv en, and then relude to Lohengrin,and the sifting Introduction\u2019 to the third act.These in place of a.tenor solo which had been promised by Mr.Dudley Buck, bot who was prevented from appearing because of sudden {liness.Nr.August Wal- ther, a well \u2018known player and composer, was the other soloist.He chose that brilliant and extremely \u201cLisgUE, one in E Flat.Had he also chosen a sat- Isfactory piano, the result would have been more pleasing.He played very well, however.The principal!

a How Buller made his first attempt to cross the Tusels and failed, after a fierce corsbat near Colenso, is told by the Daily Telegraph\u2019s special correspondent, Mr.Bennett Burleigh: - All was in readiness in the camp of the left column before daylight on Friday (De cember 15).What with packing baggage and making ready there had been few hours left for rest to officers and men.Sleep, even in campaign clothes and boots, by order, is not always possible.Away to the east of the railway went the cavalry, under Lord Dundonald, and sexcral of the batteries.Hart's fusiliers went off to the west.the Irishmen as gay and as pleased as Punch to be in the van.With them aleo were field guns and cavalry.I think the Thirteenth Mussars were on the right (east) and the Royals on the left, but neither of the crack regiments had\u2019 much he- yond the part of lookers-on to play that dav.Gen.Hildyard, who is always steady and to be relied upon, had the post of honeur, the attack upon the centre, where the Boer works were nearest and strongest, and.with the Queen's Own on the right of the railway and the Devons from Chieveley on the left of the metals, he advanced leisurely.The men were in open order, eight paces or so apart, and moved onward with perfect dreesing, almost too perfect for the job on hand.Behind the West Surrey, or Queen's, in support, were part of the West Yorks, while the Devons had the East Surrey in rear.& Major-GGen.Hart made his detour in_advance toward Bridle Drift, in closer formation; indeed, his men were caught under fire in quarter column and column of route, or something like it.Lord Dundonald made a wide circuit to get upon the slopes of the rough hills which run north toward Pieters Crossing and expose the flanks of the Colenso lines.With him was most of the Colonial cavalry.Our front extended for fully six miles, not including the cavalry flanker.NAVAL GUNS OPEN THE FRAY.+ The action was begun shortly before siz a.by the naval contingent firing lyddite and 12-pounders.Heuvily did they pound the trenches upon their\u201d front, Groblers Hill, and the lesser ridges from Port Wylie northward, but not an answer came back from the Bocrs.Forward proceeded our infantry, while the Natal Carbineers, South African Light Horse, Thorneycroft's Mounted Infantry and thé \u201cKing's\u201d Mounted Infantry advanced to occupy.HI- angwane Major-Gen.Hildyand's Queen's and Devons were nearing \u2018the platelayers and other outlyinz houdes oi Colenso.Colonels Long and Hunt had come into line with their three field bat- teriez, and Lient.James, R.N i long naval 12-pounders.was doing his best with ox waggons to range alongside of them.Major-Gen.\u201d Barton's brigade, on the right of Hildyard's, was doing nothing in par ticular, with the excention of part of the Séottieh and Irish fusiliers, who got later on well into the heat ot the frav.- The field batteries upon Hildyard's right might have been moving down the Long Valley.Aldershot, so excellently were they aligned over the downward slopes.rumbled toward the timber fringed bank of the Tugela, half a mile or more east of Col- senso.Colonel Long was determined: his guns should not be outclassed, and was.with too great hardihood, bringing them within fifteen hundred yards of For Wylie Indeed.be outpaced the infantry escort.At twenty-five minutes morning suddenly there ul crash of Boer musketry upon the batteries and advancing infantry, Devons and Uuéen's.The rattle of Mausers swelled, and was maintained as one continuous roar form within six hundred yards.From build ing and lines of trenches eouth of the river.and from the river bank itself, the Boers fired at our gupners and footmen and from trenches on the northern side of the Tugela and from Fort Wylie and else- There they sent out a hurricane of leaden ai : BRITISH SOLDIERS NEVER WINCED.The bullets venomously rained upon the ground in all directions, raising puffs of ust and tearing the air with shrill sounds.It seemed impossible that snything could face and live in that fire.Few have ever seen 80 heavy and deadly a fusillade, but neither the British gunners nor infantry esitated or winced.The \u2018cannon were wheeled into position.although many horses and men were shot down ere the manoeuvre was completed.7 \u2019 ur indomitable soldiers walked erect \u201canil \u201catatight

alacrity, stepped forward to do their duty\u2014glory or the grave., like hundreds more, am eager to proclaim that Tommy Atkins is a far grander hero than ninety-nine hundredths of the people in England bave any conception of.ough, it is true, he may be, but the stuff that makes for empires and for greatness tills his every vein And heart beat.Anglo- Saxon soldiers always advance in that way.I asked an American who had seen war: re at lioiné in Cuba and Manila if his own countrymen generally did.He answer- past six in the burst an a \u201cYes, it is marvellous, but wasteful.\u201d Perhaps there may be occasions when the sight of men coming on so steadily in the face of almost certain death will try the nerves af their -antagonist, hut my own views 1s that, save where men have to get to within running distance of a few lines of trenches the system of rushes from cover to cover by small squads Sr far less wasteful of life.Closer and eloser walked the soldiers to the Boer trenches.Our men managed to get within four hundred yards of the nearcst rifle pits.Lying down, they then returned the fire, but there was little or nothing to he seen to aim at, for the enemy kept hemselves carefully hidden behind trees, in trenches or behind walla.Unfortunately, it had not been suspected thut the Boers had ventured to construct cover upon the south side of the river, BATTERIES PUT OUT OF ACTION.With magnificent courage Long and Hunt fought their guns, shelling the, ridges across the Tugela for over an hour.Fort Wylie end the adjacent stony crest were swept with shrapnel, but the Boer fire from the other coigns of vantage grew in volume dur ing the temporary pacification by shell of Fort Wylie.The Mausers did their \u2018work batteries were put out of action, but aot before he.and Hunt had been wounded, an well an most of the officers and men.The horses had been shot down and the others brought up to retire the guns shared their fate.Happily, the naval battery and the third field battery were able to withdraw to a safer position.Mcanwhile the Devons and the Queen\u2019 had driven the Boats out of the plate layers\u2019 and other houses, and had managed to clear the enemy out of Colenso vil lage.Several of the Buecr trenches had also been carried.the enemy, as usual, ting when Tommy got near with gun and bay \u2018onet.Backward and forward wove the shuttle of death from the trenches cover: ing the low ground and \u2018foothills and the walled crests across the Tigels.The enemy's lines were crowded with riflemen, and the flash and puff of musketry ran ever up and down their front.\u2019 _ Our naval guns in the centre helped now in desultory way by others, hammered away al the Boer trenches.Five minutes after they opened with their rifles the enemy's gunners followed suit with half a scote of cannon.Our infantry and batteties were ploughed with 6&inch Creusot shells, lesser Krupps and the aggravating rat-a-tat-tat of the 1-pounder Maxims and

The Boers promptly helped their Mausers with artillery, big and little, and our batteries and cavalry had to burry to the rear to secure better ground.A further swing to the left was made by the Irish brigade, and Generals Lyttleton, who admirably handled his men throughout, keeping them in open order, pushed on a little way to lend support.Consumed with wrath, the Dublin and Inniskilling Fusiliers hurried forward, \u2018backed by the Connaught Rangers and the Border i- ment.Fhey soon got to ips with the Swift and straight they swept down through the long grass into the dongas toward the Tugela.- It was about seven a.m.With as fierce and prolonged a rifle fire as had greeted Hildyard's brigade the Irishmen had to deal.wn upon them also descended 100-pound- er shells from the lofty hill west of Grob- ler\u2019s.With jibe and cheer they pushed for the river, and the enemy fell away before them, or were \u201ckilled\u2014in their trenches by the smart shots of the Dublin boys.Five hundred yards of Boer trenches were passed over, and Buller himself watched them the while with admiration.The General, however, was recalled to Hildyard\u2019s brigade with the news that the enemy from the river banks, which he held in large numbers, was slating the batteries and the Second brigade.BRIEF LULL IN THE BATTLE.The battle proceeded with undiminished fury, yet, as in all big actions, there were those unaccountable and strange lulls, when the sound of conflict drifted into silence, the birds took up their songs and made one \u2018hote that the sun was still shining peacefully.Rifles-and- cannon -were cooling, and men were sitting tight, taking breath.From eight a.m.to eleven a.m.the fight way\u2019 general and fiercest \u201cand \u201cgeneral all along\u2019 the line.Hildyard\u2019s and Hart's brigades had suffèred long before that hour, but the latter hours -had-heavier-trials-for-] all.The Colonial cavalry had advanced to Hiangwane, to find the Boers in strength there before them.Nay, they had guns in position upon.that rough hill and the larger range behind.uly, the wings or flanks of a Boer army are in the air, and it is well nigh hopelesa to attempt to turn their flanks, so much do\u2019 they gain by their extreme mobility and intimate knowledge of the country.To get at them, keep at them, and drive them \u2014as at Elandslaagte\u2014appear the safest tactics.An, hour of Brigadier Hector Mac- Donald would have made a difference in the turning movements that failed.BARBED WIRE IN THE RIVER.By a quarter past seven a.m.the Irish brigade had driven the Boers to the north bank of the Tugela.They found that the enemy had planved the ground with barbwire entanglements.Even in the bed of the river barbed wire had \u2018been laid.Down into.the water \u2018went the Dublins, Inniskillings, Borderers and Connaughts.It was found there was no drift or ford.The rs had.cunningly dammed the river, and there was ten feet of water where it was ordinarily but knee deep.They strove to find crossings, and many a fine fellow, with his weight of ammunition and accoutrements, was drowned.It was a desperate and serious situation.The attack upon the right was making no progress, and Hart's men had reached an apparent impasse, but there were furious, angry, Irishmen who resolved to get across somehow by dint of scrambling from rock to rock and swimmin.A number won the other side,vet most found that they had but er a winding spruit.The Tugela still lay in front, end alf the while the murderous fire of cannon and Mausers crashed, end comrades fell weltering in blood.Our naval guns did their best to silence the- enemy\u2019s cannon; but-the- \u201cgunnery\u201d devoted their attention almost exclusively to slaughtering our -cavalry, field artillery and infantry.Not more than a dozen shots were fired at Captain Jones\u2019 central battery, yet it was well within range.To conceal the position of their cannon was evi- Jently an ever present desire of the enemy, but the \u2018sailors did catch sight of one or two of the Boer cannon and managed effectually to silence them.BRAVERY OF ROBERTS\u2019 SON.Matters were at their worst about ten in the morning.Daring spirits of the Irish Brigade had got across the Tugela only to lines-upon- liner of trenches before them, or a wide network of wire entagle- ment.Colenso was in our occupation.I'he Queen's, and others of the Second Brigade, with a few of Barton's, chiefly the Scottish Fusiliers, were quite near the iron bridge and tha river.1 Regardless, of the wildest fusilade ever heard from an enemy, our men tried to bore in further.Generals Buller and Clery, with their staffs and ercorts, had ridden near the lost guns and subsequently went towards the.platelayers\u2019 houses.The spouting hail of lead and iron snapped and epluttered; dust puffed more than ever.rd Roberts\u2019 son, Lieutenant Roberts, K.R.R., with Captains Bchofield and Congreve, of the staff, volunteered to ride out and endeavour to save the two field batter ies in the open.Readily other volunteers were found.Corporals from the linesmen and drivers of the ammunition waggons.taking spare teams, galloped out, and men and horses again began falling on every side ; Young Roberts\u2019 horse was blown up with #8 shell, which inflicted severe wounds upon his body and limbs.Congreve was hit 10 the leg by a bullet and his clothes were cut by other missiles.Scnofield alone escaped untouched.across that valley of death Quickly the surviving animals were rounded in -again that day sttempts were made to haul off the remaining guns, which ged to the Fourteenth and Sixty-Sixth : 1¢ .Boer cannon and rifle fire was incessant and withering.BOTH CLERY AND BULLER HIT.Generals Buller and Clery had numerous enca and\u2019 ran riske that made the men nervous about them, for the death of either would bave been hailed by the enemy as a victory.Both were hit-by glancing bullets, Buller in the side and Olery in the arm.Out {the staff, Captain Hughes was killed, others were wounded, and Lord Gerard had his borse \u201cshot twice.Captain Congreve crept it à-dônga above w Ich no one cou with ao p.From there he subse uently went out with Major Baptie\u201d and brought in Lieutenant end was near, Although Lyttleton\u2019s brigade moved closer forward to Hart's and Mildyard'e sup;

of the Conomughts, twenty-four were killed and 130 wounded or missing; the 1st Innis- killings has eighteen killed and 93 wounded | o» missing.But the splendid records\u2019 of these three regiments tell of more glorious sacrifices.For instance, at Waterloo, the Inniskillings suffered the heaviest losses of all.They saved the centre of Wellington's line on that historic day, and every officer of the regiment and two-thirds of the men lay dead or dying.Irish regiments, indeed, have served wit prominence and distinction in all of Britain's wars,\u2014in Europe, Asia, Africa and America.At the smashing Boer defeat at Flands- lnagte it was an Irish cavalry regiment, the Sth Lancers, which charged through the flying enemy in the darkness and cut them up \u2014the o time that our cavalry has got into their midst.The dashing style in which the 2nd Dublins and the 1st Royäl, Frish Fusiliers stormed the Boer strong- jold on Talana Hill, the Dublins being first into the entrenchments, supplies one of the thrilling episodes of the campaign;
