it.is, therefore, necessary to understand when reading the summaries of captured that they represent little affairs which have only been brought to à successful issue by dint of hard marching and harder fighting.The enemy now left in the field are determined to fight desperately.The spirit of the army is excellent.From the personal exverience of men who have followed the operations for two years it is declared that the army bas lost nothing of its keen determination.Though they have been hard tried by long marches and bad A MERCHANT T0 BECOME PASTOR Mr.T.B.Brown Accepts Pastorate of Sherbrooke Baptist Church, WILL : BEGIN WORK AT ONCE He Has Taken a Part in Religious Work for Years and Has Studied Theology.Mr.T.B.Brown, merchant, of this city, has been appointed to the pastorate of the \u2018Baptist church at Sherbrooke, Que., and will enter upon the duties connected with that position on Sunday next.: For many years past Mr.Brown, who re sides at 1148 Sherbrooke street, has been a prominent member of the Olivet Baptist urch, as well as a su business man, his offices being located in the Bell Telephone Building.During the course of the past few weeks the Rev.W.E.Norton, of oronto, Superintendent of Baptist Home Missions, making an inspection of the Baptist churches in this province, and it was at his uest that Mr.Brown decided to accept the pastorate of the Sher brooke Church.Mr.Brown is a thorough scholar, and has been an ardent student of theology all his life.\u2018 The date of his ordination has not been fixed, but the event will take place in January, during whic he will take up his residence at Sher brooke.Mr.Brown has been in business in this city for a period of twenty-one years, and has figured promiiently in mission and Sunday-school work.Heavy Fog in New York.NEW YORK, December 13.\u2014A heavy fog that descénded on the city in the early morning, caused a delay jof traffic all over New York, Ferries, elevated trains and surface cars were im) A number of vessels which arrived last night, remained at the quarantine, as it was impossible to make the passage up the harbour in safety.Ald.Laporte to Speak.Ald.Laporte, chairman of the Finarice Committee, received a petition to-day containing fifty names, asking him to speak at a meeting on Monday night in 8t.Ga- brie] Ward, and tell the electors what would be the policy of the reform party for thé ensuing two years.La \u2018 sent word of the petition the signers that he would be glad to be at the meeting and speak.\u2019 North Norfolk Conservatives.SIMCOE, Ont.December 13.~The Conservatives of North Norfolk, in convention hers, nominated Dr.F.8.Snider, of Waterford;

; Each corps is accompanied by two British colonial officers, one of whom acts as intermediary between the burgher commander and the commanders of columns, while the other serves as quartermaster.Since td formation of these two corps, a third corps is being raised by Commandant Briel, formerly adjutant to Beyers.Commandant Muller, another prominent Boer leader, also applied recently for permission to raise a corps.Cp BOERS SUFFZR DISTRESS.As the numbers of the enemy are reduced and the healthy areas in which they can live become circumscribed the Boers begin to experience real distress.A trusi- worthy report states that before Delarey made his attack at Moedwill he and a \u201cpredikant\u201d (clergyman) harangued the men, telling them that ammunition was short, that seventy-five rounds each would served out \u2014 a quantity which almost exhausted the stock-and that it would be necessary to take the British camp, for if they failed still greater hardships would ensue than those they were already suffer- i Beyer is also engaged in bunting for ammunition.The Boer leaders are alarmed at the severe drain on their resources ca night march tactics ado mand of columns.ey are in a quandary.they concentrate they offer an object for our troops to and if y remain acattered they ses their numbers dwindle.Fever and horse sickness in -the low country are also causing havoc.AN ENFEEBLED ENEMY.The enfeeblemer:t of the enemy, spread over the greater part of the country, is evident, and in several districts the few stra; left are being caught by the dozen daily.The reduction of the Boer forces proceeds at the rate of rather over fifteen Petmdred monthly.The official statements of Boers killed only record those actually seen or picked up by our troops.e number of the Boers mow in the field is estimated tc be between eight and mine thousand.e war appears distinctly to be enterin on the final phase.;

LONDON, December 13.\u2014Lord Kitchener has followed up his despatch on the subject of the shooting of Kaffirs by the Boers with another on the conduct of the Boers toward the British wounded in the action with Col.Benson's column .at Braken- laagte.The evidence seems pretty conclusive that many men were more or: less cruelly treated, and Col.Benson \u2018himself was ppparently not ted.An lana- tion of this state of things is to be found ia the Sonelusion arrived by jor oung, who makes the report, that, though/ the Boer commandants have the will, they wo Jonger have the power to repress out- and murder on the part of eir subordinates.So The statement sets forth that eighteen officers and men of Col.Benson's command Jere kindly and even carefully ated by the Boers, while the remaining nty-tive men who were examined testified that they witnessed and suffered atrocities worse than those which followed the Vlakfontein dis aster.The latter said the unarmed and wounded men lying around the guns were killed ut close range, and that the survivors of the engagement suffered torture, being robbed and stripped of their clothing in spite of their wounds and broken limbs.A NIGHT SURPRISE.BLOEMFONTEIN, December - 13.\u2014(General Dartnell has lately been active in\u2019 the Harrismith district.By a series of night surprises at houses he has captured 24 Boers, who \u2018were in bed at the time.MEDICAL OFFICER , ACQUITTED.BLOEMFONTEIN, December 13.\u2014 The trial before the criminal court here of the chief medical dispenser of the concentration \u2018camp of Bloemfontein was concluded to-day.He was charged with- having improperly ad- minis a preparation 0 rychnine which caused the Jess of three children refugees.\"most minul airy, lasting over a week, accused was di chi As a result of the.trial they.ers ' Lloyd steamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm, eail ing from there on Sunday, the 15th inst.Mr.G.B.Feeve will leave here on the 20th and meet the new general manager in New York, returning with him here,.and, after a day's conference, will start for his California ranch barely in time, however, to eat his Christmas dinner there, as he had 0) o.Mr.Reeve is practicallv ready to start now, every detail of routine work is up to date, and-he will band over the property to his successor in excellent condition financially and physically.\u2018 _ Since his residence here Mr.Reeve lived in a furnished house on Sherbrooke street, so that he will not be put to the trouble of disposing of household effects.\u2018Mr.Hays is accompanied in Europe b; his two younger daughters.Mrs.Hays an her two elder daughters are in St.Louis, where they are visiting Mrs.Hays\u2019 father.For some time, at least, it is believed Mr.Hays will live at the Windsor.During his former residence here he resided on Drum- mond street.At the general offices absolutely nothing is known regarding the future but the f ing prevails that Mr.Hays is coming back to an administration which is practically of his own creation after a year's leave of absence, as it_were.Mr.Harry Phillips, the former private secretary of Mr.Hays, is acting as assistant to Mr.Herbert, general manager of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, an-| old Grapd Trunk man himself.Work is being hurried along on the new offices; modern furniture is being made, so that early in the spring the new ment and staff should Se S installed in the | Te nd prices.WwW.BOYD & ESTABLISHED 1845.SORE all qualities > quai ; ., : OCOASINS\u2014Men\u2019 25, Ladies\u2019, $1.00, Children\u2019s, 'Z5\u20ac¢ per pair.oo nn money and visit Headquarters for Winter Sports.SON, 1683 Notre Dame Street.OPEN EVENINGS.!

one is an engineer, not in practice and one.is edi by a com- iler who is not an engineer at all.Mr.ennedy then goes on to quote instances where the concrete piers in the actual buildings of a similar character in Canada and which do not exceed in strength those proposed for the Jamieson elevator carry their loads with entire suceesa.Mr.Kennedy closes bis report with 1e- ferences to the bin wall which the Government \u201c \u201d\u201d claim is experi r.Kennedy says that these bin walls of cor- 1 plates are not a new device, but are simply putting an old device into 8 new eo contracts are to the service.Such plates in-many formu have long been used for various services from «he \u201covering of roofs to the supporting of bridge floors which carry railway trains.\u2018The strength of the particulér form und thickness specified for the elevator bins can easily be calculated;

to all outward appearances he was the ealmest man of the many who were assembled.In every respect the execution was conducted with detorum, the arrangements being personallr attended to by Sherifi Thib- audenu.Deputy Sheriff Franchere and Governor Vallee of the gaol.LAST NIGHT ON EARTH.Laplaine passed the greater part of the Might in sleep.and at 4.30 a.m., be ardse and at once resumed the devotional exercises that had been continued throughout last evening and far into the nighi.À number of membe:x of his family were with him last night and others were beside him as he attended his last mass.Fathers Me- loche, $.J.and gas, S.J.were in constant attendance, and the doomed man JOSEPH ERNEST LAPLAINE.frequently declared to them that he was ectly ready to die and that now that he ad mide his peace with his God he did not wish any respite.To those who were dear to him, he declared that he would meet his death bravely and that they need not have, any fear as to his suffering.CROWD SAW EXECUTION.While the last farewells were being said in the death cell, a crowd of 200 ple waited in the cold December air for the appearance ol the procession.Many kindy of citizens were present and they had succeed- in some manner or other in proving to the Sheriff that they had a right to a card of admission.There were lawyers, saloon keepers, commercial travellers, actors, butchers, bankers, etc.On the roofs of buildings surrounding the gaol there were a Targe numl r of men who were able to see all that happened though in some cases they were far away.Not a few people got a view of what happened by climbing telegraph poles.There were instances where men chimbed to the top of telephone and telegraph poles as early, as 6.30, and wasted until the bodv was cut down.THE LAST FEW MOMENTS.At eight o'clock sharp Laplaine was told that the fatal hour had arrived.Radcliffe the official hangman.had just fastened the hemp to the cross bar of the scaffold, and, as he entered the cell, Laplaine stood up fo meet him.Bis arms were quickly pinioned and the solemn march was commenced.Sheriff Thi- baudeau in the full robes of his office was first, and Laplaine with the priests on eith- ed ride followed.Radcliffe brouglit up the rear, though two of the condemned man\u2019s brothers marched part of the way until the open air was reached, There was a walk oi about fifty yarda from the door of the gaol to the scaffold ateps, and this\u2019 was covered in an amazing- y quick time, Laplaine almost forcing the heriff to quicken his pace.: Just one glance upward as though to measure the distance to the scaffold platform, and Laplaine almost sprang up the steps; half way up he actually trotted, so that the\u2019 Priests were left n step behind him.As e took hie place on the trap, Radcliffe in legs, and in Wa.feloche, Laplaine prayed almost aud- ye the black cap shut out his last view of earth, Laplaine forced his right hand up- a to his chin and.pulled the cap well under it.In a moment the noose had been placed over his head, and Radcliffe touched the spring with his foot.As the trap fell, a muscle of his body moved after the drop, and in seven minutes Dr.Emanuel Benoit at.THE CORONER'S JURY.Ten minutes after the body was cut down, and Coroner MacMahon empanelled a jury.The inquest was over in ten minutes, a verdict in accordance with the facts being returned.Acting on an order from the De- >, ho, Boon FAL 0 3 >A M.A.VERDON.(Photo by Dumas.)

educational opportunities were entirely inadequate to the needs of the majority of modern young men, who, through various causes, principally financial, were debarr from obtaining a thorough general education or instruction In any of the learned professions.They demand that the rulers of tho country do them duty by founding schools and colleges for all those who seek that highér knowledge that is now the special prerogative of the rich man's son.ker stated that he had spoken to many young Canadians, and the great majority of them had expressed their intention of settling in the United States, where the honest and persevering young man is given every opportunity to climb the successive steps of the ladder to fame and fortune.The speaker terminated br saying that there are now more French-Canadians living in the United States than there are in Canada.and this, was because opportunities were greater.\u201d At the close of the address the speaker was unanimously accorded a hearty vote of thanks, and the association decided to hold a series of meetings for e' purpose of discussing social and economic questions.THE SHOE WORKERS.\u2014The officers of the Boot and 8hoe Workers\u2019 Union re gratifying increase in membership.his Hard Colds Hard colds nearly always lead to something serious.They run into chronic bron- tion.Doctors know this.That's why they so generally approve of Ayer\u2019s Cherry Pectoral.They tgll us they cannot prescribe.anything that cures coughs so quickly.\u2018\u2018Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured my \u2018daughter of a very bad cough after we had tried about everything else without ;

NEW YORK, December 13\u2014The London correspondent of the Tribune cables: Although the: public is little interested in the new ship subeidy bill introduced in the Senate by Mr.Frye, and the newspapers give slight prominence to the matter, the subj is keenly occupying shipping circles.The Telegraph, which is making a specialty of the subject, states ae the result of enquiries, that the bill has awaken- some fears and a great deal of opposition.One owner figures that a steamer of 5000 tons would receive nearly 13 per cent.annually on the cost of construction, which he as little short of appalling, and threatening seriously to handicap British traae.Some owners, apparently.are less concerned with the subsidies than with the considerably alarmed.It is held that the States, that all trading between American ports must be confined to American vessels, which British shipping en resent most keenly.SE So far as enquiries at Liverpool have gone it is shown hat all shipping men therc view the measure with disfavour.Some -are considerably ularmed.t is held that the fleet lately acquired by J.Pierpont Morgan would be entitled to a bounty, based upon speed and the mileage run, enabling the vessels to earn dividends almost inde.endently of freights.Such a condition of affairs would result in ruinous competition with British vessels.On the other hand, were the subsidies limited to compensating the Americans for the higher cost of building and higher wages.the British are confident that they can overcome competition.The American ship subsidy bill is seriously occupying the atteniton of the shipping world in.Germany also.According to a Berlin telegram, it is expected that influential shipping and industrial circles will bring their whole influence to bear upon the cabinet to introduce a new subeidy bil providing for a considerable increase in su ventions to German steamship ni and that in all probability they will attai their object.OYÉZ!
