How he must have taken it to heart ! Winard’s etc.Liniment Cutes Colds> The great feature at the annual outing of the United B ardu of Trade of the Mernmac Valley,on ThurGay, June 23rd, was the eloquent address of the Hon.H.T.Duffy, Nil ulster of Public Works.In the course of his addres», he »aid : The Dominion of Canada is sépara' ed from your own country by an unagii a y line fir the distance of three thousand miles, and whether we wUh it or not, na tare has made us neighb rs, so that without ceremony, I vi it you as one neighbor wii'ild drop in to -ee another.The gr»at m»jo ity of the people of Canada have, like yourselves, spiung from British ancestors ; we are brothers, and I come amongst you as a member of the sone family.We all tpe»k the same language, aud although a foreigner I Come here with ut an interpreter, conscious that not only my words, but my feelings, my syrnj athiis and my sentiments will be undersrood by you.Coining from the Pr vi ce of Quebec, I must tell you that the greater proportion of our population is French-CaiiAdian.1 regret, however, that the French Cana dians are not all in the Province of Quebec.More than a million have found homes in the great manufacturing towns and cities of these Eastern states.I hope you do not look upon our French-Canadians as aliens, for after all they are more closely related to us than one would at tirst imagine.As I have said before the majority of the people of the Dominion of Canada belong, hke yourselves, to the Anglo Saxon race, and among the many virtues of that race its dominant quality is its love for trade.The Anglo Saxon wherever he may be found, is above all a trader.The little islands of Great Britain and Ireland insignificant in p int of extent, have century afier century, sent forth into the different parts of the world men imbued wn h the spirit of trade.Their ships are found in every water, their traders are in every port, and their goods are found in every market.Far away among the dusky villages of the Hindoos, in the exclusive cantons of the Chinese, in the dept lis of the wildernesses of Africa, on the continent of Aus tralia, and in all the civilized portions of of Europe, English goods and English traders ate to be met with on every occa sion.This spirit of trade equally animates the Angio-Saxons of America, whether in the United btales or in the Dominion of Canada.In the short period of a century you have built up enormous manufacturing establishments, not only sufficient to supply the wants of 70 millions of Ameri-cai s, but sufficient to supply the wants of many other countries.We in Canada being farther North, have not developed as rapidly as you l ave, I ut within the last ten years we have made enormous strides, and although you have the start of us, I already see the time is not far distant when in our own great northern dominion the same spirit of trade which has animated the Anglo-Saxon in other parts of the world will produce results equally as bénéficiai to us.The first impressson that must present itself to any person with a knowledge of the geographical position, and the charac terLtica of the tw» c mntries is, that they mmt of necessity trade with each other.A busimss enterprise peculiar to our race anime res the people of both countries.Oui giographhal position is such as to facilitate most intimate commercial rela lions.The United States have been so blessed by Providence that they are capable of producing, and does produce almost est ry article of commerce which is useful and necessary to contribute to the wants of nun.Nature has been almost jually generous to the Dominion of Canada, although our products are not so varied as those of our sister country.We have, however, many useful products almost inexhaustible in their abundance.In no other country in the world can tie fisherman cast forth his net int) the sea and draw forth fish in abundance not nly to supply the wants of his own country but sufficient also for all the markets of the world.The illimitable forests of the Dcm’nion of Canada are such that, we have umber sufficient to construct our ships, to warm our htarths and to supply the markets of the world for centuries io come.For Canada as a Virgin goddess in a primeval world still stalks in unconscious beauty among her boundless w oods, and along the margin of her trackless stream?.In the Province of Quebec alone we have 35 million acres of timber land, now under lease to lumbermen ; we have 55 million acres of land upon which the timber has never yet been cut and in addition to this during the last year the boundaries of our province have bee n finally determined which has given to us an additional domain of 75 million?of timber lands.The supply of pulp wood in the Province of Quebec alone is practically inexhaustible, and what is true of the Province of Quebec in this respect is true also of several of the other provinces of the Dominion.We are rich above all countries in our supply of useful and precious minerals.The coal fields of Nova Scotia lie adjacent to t»wn of your Eastern states.The coal fie’ds of the Western poitiuii of our domini n are moti c mvenient to California and to that poition of your own country bordering on the Pacific.Your own coal fields in Pennsylvania are most conveniently situated so far as the central portion of Canada is concerned.The Eastern Townships, and in fact the Province of Quebec generally can supply you with farm produce more convenient than in your own Eastern States.Quebec, in the Like St.John region, furnishes the ideal home for the sportsman.I need not continue to enumerate the resources of our two countries, cr the many articles produced by one and acquired by the other ; you know all that better than I cm tell you.With our two countries lying adjacent to each other, with the numerous art c’es produced by the one and acquired by the other it is ! apparent that an interchange of commerce is highly desirable, and the question is fnquently asked, how the governments of the two countries can b»st bring this about—what m» an » would best facilitate this end.My answer is that they have simply to undo rather than do.In the past, in place of facilitating trade the government of the two countri^s have Wen engaged in preventing it as far as p 8'ible.I am not here to-day to say which government is most to blame in this resjKct.The discussion of that question would fruitless.The fact, however, cannot t>e denied that one government has commenced by raisii g a tariff wall to obstruct the entry of the goods of the other country.The other country has retaliated by raising a similar wall, and each has kept addir g to the wall in order to obstruct as far as possible interchange between the two countries.Wehaveonly to demolish this wall raised by the governments of the two countries iu pare, snd to permit the people of the two countries to exercise their own will a d cAiry out their own oesirea in ord»r t > have commerce tiow nackwaids and ioiwaids between ihe two countries in tne most Û >ur:sliing manner possible.The ertetiou of ihu* wall iu the past has been in a great measure owing to the fact that the people of the two countries did not propelly uuUer»l«iid each oth«.r.There ban no doubt been to souie extent alack of sympathy I et ween the peop e ot Canada ana the people of the C ailed States.i am not now going to discuss the qutstioa as to wh.ch couutiy should be attached the blame.The time, however, has arrived when the uiidconc^putm has disappeared, and 1 bjiieve the people of both countries understand and sympathize with each other.We ha/e been living apart as strangers, but we have suddenly disco ver.X that we are brothers and friends.We have had our own little differences in the past and there may have been un-mce8-ary friction.The last year has witnessed a great ch%nge.Given the free soil of America, inhabited by the descendants of the English race, despotism and oppre-sion could never find a pla e in our midst.Unhappily to the south of you scenes have been enacted which shocked the sentiments of liberty in the hrart of every American For the sake of humanity the American people determined to drive tyranny and oppression from this continent and to bring liberty to the dow n trodden people of Cuba.To accomplish this you are engaged in a fierce and bloody war for the sake of humanity and for the preservation of liberty.B or Over Kitty Years Mrs.Winslow’s Soothing Syrup has been used by millions of mothers for their children while teething.If disturbed at night and broken of your rest by a sick child suffering and crying will pain of Cutting Teeth send at once and get a bottle of “Mrs.Winslow’s Soothing Syrup” for Children Teething.It will relieve the poor little sufferer immediately.Depend upon it, mothers there is no, mistake about it.It cures Diarrhoea, regulates the Stomach and Bowels, cures Wind Colic, soften the gums, reduces Inflammation and gives tone and energy to the whole system.“Mrs.Winslow’s Soothing Syrup” for children teething is pleasant to the taste and istho prescription of one of the oldest and best female physician and nurses in the United States.Prices twenty-five cents a bottle Sold by all druggists throughout the world.Be sure and ask tor “Mrs.Winslow’s Soothing Syrup.NORTH HATLEY.Warm weather is daily bringing suai mer boarders.Judge Wright and family of Baltimore are in the summer cottage.Mr.Saturswait, of New Jersey, is at the Meadow View Cottage, and his two nieces and nephew at Carrington Cottage.Madame and Miss Patterson, with maid are occupying one of Mr.Madison Call’s cottages.A business meeting of the Y.P.C.U was held at Mr.Archie Jackson’s Monday evening.Arrangements were made for bevotional meetings for the next three months.Tne following are the new class leaders.Mr.A.C.Jackson, Mr.Scott Kezar, Miss Helen White.Rev and Mrs.Smiley are to have charge every charge every fourth Sunday ;

She was thoughtful f*>r a moment.“Then,” she said slowly, “do you think, Hugh, we are justified in running such a terrible risk?” 1 fought the matter out with my con science.“No,” I said at length.“AYhatever our private feelings may be, I think it is plainly our duty to”— I paused.“What?” she cried almost eagerly.“Break off the engagement,” I said sorrowfully.There was a long pause.Wo reached Walbridge corner, and alighting from our machines seated ourselves on a grassy bank to await the others.In a few' minutes they rode up.“Well, I do think you are mean!” cried Dora.“Yes, we must apologize,” I said.“We took a short cut to happiness—1 mean to Walbridge.” I pulled out my watch.“We must hurry to bo back in time for luncheon.” Wo mounted, and again I found myself by Dora’s side.“Your father invited me to come and make a stay at your town house,” 1 said.“May I?” “But Irene would not consent to your deserting her.” “I think she would bo rather glad.You know' wo admire one anotlu r.\\ * 11, wo have been talking tho matter over and come to the conclusion that this is not quite sufficient, so by mutual consent wo have terminated tho engagement.’ ’ “Is that what happened in the lane?” she exclaimed in surprise.“Yes.That is why I think the ‘hum of things, ’ followed by a trip to New Zealand, would bo distinctly agreeable.May I come?” “Yes,” she said, with a smile, “if you promise not to devote too much time to the club window.But, Mrs.Kenyon—what will”— she added.“I don’t know,” I replied, “and, strange to say, a feeling that I don’t care much is gradually taking possession of me.Dora laughed gayly.“How brave you are!” she said.Later in the day—it was after luncheon—the news was broken to Mrs.Kenyon.Naturally she was a little surprised; but, contrary to our expectations, she did not appear to be much annoyed.“Perhaps it is for the best,” she said philosophically.Irene and myself are at present fulfilling our expiessed intention of admiring one another at a distance—she from that desirable residence, Hatton House, where she is known as Mrs.Grierson, and I from a remote part of New Zealand, where Dora and are wandering on a prolonged moon trip.—Black

Uartud in regard to net hod b.From the Cornell university station comes a bulletin embodying a neat deal of prac tical information on he subject Among other things is told ‘when to spray ami w hen not to spray.” The time of making the applications ran es with the conditions of the season, but for orchard fruits, when treated Against the more common insect and luugous foes, we may say in a general a ay.spray first, just before the fruit bud» open; second, just after the blossoms fall, and third, ten days or so aft-?r the second spraying.In a dry season ihe third application may not be* ueces-lary, while in an excessively raiL.one more than three may pay.When to spray cannot be regulated by rule.When not to spray, at least in Din* particular, can be stated with emphasis.If the spraying solutu ns oon-laiu poisons, as they should at that season of the year, do not under any condi-tie ns spray when the trees are in bloom.Nothing is accomplished by spraying at this time which cannot be attained either before the blossoms open or after they fall.More than this, irreparable fumage is almost sure to follow spraying at tliis time.Every one has observed how active the bees are among the blossoms of fruit trees, and on this activity (if the bees depends very largely the development of th« fruit.As they sa rry pollen from one blossom to another they are doing a kindness to the fruit grower which he little appreciates.If, then, these friends of the orchardist find the blossoms covered with poison, as they will do if the trees are sprayed when in bloom, their death from tho effects of the poison is only too sure to follow, and with the death of each bee Ihe fruit grower loses a friend.This loss is not only to the man who grows fruit, but to the beekeeper as well.Practically all insect enemies of plants, for which spraying is a specific, may be divided into two classes with respect to their habits of feeding and the remedy to be applied will depend upon these habits.The insects of one class, of which the potato bug and apple tree tent caterpillar are familiar examples, eat part of tbe plant—usually the Laves.The remedy for such pests is to Apply a poison to their feeding ground.Paris green is the poison most commonly used in such cases.The other class of insects comprises those which suck the juices of the plant.This type of in-lect must be destroyed by applying lomething which will kill it merely by coming in contact with it.Kerosene, usually as an emulsion, is tho remedy in most common use.myself houey- Tp » Church Steeple.Two riggers

v.a:-no w’ay to reach the spot from th.inside, and the riggers procured tt number of light ladders and lashed them, one above the other, to the outside of the steeple.The topmost ladder, however, was not high enough to enable them to reach the desired spot, and as the upper part of the steeple was too small to permit the proper lashing to it of a ladder a daring expedient was resorted to.One of the men, carrying a pot of melted solder, climbed from one ladder to another until he had reached the last one, and then, bracing himself, ho raised an extra ladder that the other rigger had brought up in his hand and leaned it against the steeple.Then the man below grasped this ladder and held it Steady while the man above mounted it V> the point where his w*ork was to be done.He began the w’ork at once, and all promised well till suddenly he jostled the solder pot, and the fiery stuff ran out and fell over the hands of the man who w’as holding the ladder.But the brave fellow did not

for the tender plants as loon as they appear above ground, inserting their beaks and soon destroying the plant.The New Hampshire station has studied the pest both out of doors and in the iusectary, but a» yet can suggest no better remedy than that of placing shingles or pieces of boards beside the hi'is.The hugs will congregate under these, and by a daily inspection early in the morning they are readily found and destroyed.By thus killing off the brood that has passed the winter much of the later damage commonly done by the progeny of these bngs will be prevented.It is well known that the brown eggs aro deposited upon the undersurfaces of the squash leaves and that tbe young which hatch from these soon oauso tho death of much of the foliage.Consequently it is important to destroy as many of the egg laying brood as possible.A Useful rararit*.“A few years ago one would see, in driving during early summer in any direction past Connecticut orchards, sorry exhibitions of their owner’s neglect and the tent caterpillar’s ravages.’When things are at their worst, they sometimes mend,’and they began to mend in this particular, I think, four seasons ago.Three years ago the caterpillars were greatly lessened in numbers.Last year there were but few, and those that appeared in early spring perished before they were full grown.“Tachina flies deposit their eggs in the bodies of caterpillars and from that instant the worms are doomed.Tho eggs batch, and, until they die, tho caterpillars ore tho unwilling hosts of tho insects that feast upon their bodies, ” writes a

ABUNDANT CROPS LOW PRICES.There have been public men in Canada who have deprecated the annual expense of keeping up a militia for the sake of possibilities that a few years ago neemed very remote.In the light of recent events, however, the contention would now receive little support.Under the present complication of European politics Canada would have to defend herself largely by her own efforts if a general war broke out.The lesson of the last few weeks in the United States should teach the fact that preparedness for war is not achieved by having a large bank account.There is also needed a permanent system by which an equipped army can be placed on the field at a given moment.Our militia system serves, at least, to preserve the military spirit, to furnish the nucleus of an army and to maintain in the country a certain amount of knowledge of military drill.The summer drills that the country battalions receive benefit the officers and also the privates if the personnel of the companies is not too largely changed each drill year.A NEW ERA.To the Editor of the Examiner.1*4r.—I emphatically object to the oft repeated remark (and I might pay in every publication) that the prospect of an abundant harvest is a blessing to the farmer, etc.I claim that abundant crops often go to the direct and exclusive benefit o the consumer, and not at all to the farmer, except in the way of building up and ad ?ancing the interests of the world.The only instance in which a farmer is bene fited by a large crop is when other farmers have poor crops.Thus one country gains by the amount of loss suffered by the others.It is easy to understand that it costs more to harvest and market a large crop than a small one, and for heavy pro duce, and for local consumption, it is obvious that an abundant crop is a positive loss to the farmer, as ho often handles double the amount of produce, for the money he would receive for the produce of a poor year.But in every case the consumer is benefited.Thus, I claim that the consumer is the one, who, without alloy, has the cause for i'oy at the present appearance of the crops, îor must it be supposed that large crops are obtained without a comparative loss to the fertility of the soil.Favorable atmospheric conditions do not provide all the requirements of plants, consequently large crops are obtained at a comparative loss to the farmer in this respect also.I claim further, that the appropriations which, from time to time are made by the several administrations in aid of agriculture, are sometimes in aid of the farmer, but always in the interest of the consumer.It is claimed that the farmers can now raise more produce, and of a higher standard on account of the inventions and manufacture of agricultural implements, and modern methods of culture.That is admitted : but the farmers of Canada are not in advance of the other countries in this respect,and it consequently becomes a race between the pr oducers of the several countries to produce the most at the least expens 3 ; obviously to the interests of the consumer.Banish modern methods, destroy modern machinery, and the consequent prices of farm produce would create such a panic among consumers as never was known in the history of the world.James Dickson.Trenholmeville, Que.We hasten to correct the impression that the Richmond Guardian derived from our article entitled “Crying Scandal/’concerning the Drummond County railway.The Guardian appears to think that we made it a “subject of hostile comment/’ that our contemporary had not joined in the senseless hue-and-cry over that bargain together with the other so-called “scandals” raised by the disor dered imagination of the Mail-Empire and other leading organs of the Opposition.The Guardian is quite mistaken.In mentioning the fact that it had not followed it’s party’s lead in the Drum inond County matter we were simply doing it a j istice that the facts demanded and that the Guardian could be fair on that question we considered a sufficient reason for believing that it might bo fair on other questions, also, if party feeling were firmly put aside.The real point of our article was that the Guardim is well aware of the value to be attached to the cries of scandal raised against a govern ment, when these cries have no other basis than unproved suspicion.Such cries are not only unjust to the party in power, but injurious to the public mind and the public interests, and almost serve to blunt or confuse the public conscience when real wrongdoing is exposed.The Guardian had reviewed the work of the last session of parliament bitterly, along the lines followed by the Mail-Empire of casting unjust suspicion upon every action of the government, and we simply urged our contemporary to strike a higher note of political criticism, in view of the marvellous expansion of Canada’s interests within the last two years.That the sleepy Tory placemen in the Senate should be blind to this expansion and to the possibilities of the immediate future and that they should endeavor to block the wheels of progress is no reason why the thoughtful journals of the country should aid them in their stupid task, no matter what may be the political sympathies of those journals.We repeat that a great era is dawning for the country.Within a very short time we may look for a very Urge increase in Canada's population as well as for a vast expansion of our trade interests.All the signs of Further details of the awful loss of life through the collision of the Cromartyshire and the French Liner Bourgogne on Monday, July 4, off Sable Island, now places the total number lost at 553, and only 163 saved The French ship carried a crew of 223, and a passenger list of 493.Only fil passengers were saved while 102 of crew were successful in reaching the deck of the Cromartyshire.Singular to relate of the 300 women on hoard only one was saved, and of the children not one was rescued from a watery grave.The log of the Cromartyshire is as follows : On July 4, at 5 a.m., dense fog, position of ship, sixty miles south of Sable Island, ship by wind on the port tack, W.N.W., though under reduced canvas, going about 4 or 5 knots an hour, our fog horn was being kept going regularly every minute.At that time heard a steamer’s whistle on our weather side or port beam, which seemed to be nearing very fast.We blew horn and wore answered by steamer’s whistle when all of a sudden she loomed through the fog on our port bow and crushed into us, going at a terrific speed.Our foretopmast,and main top gallant mast came down, bringing with it yards and everything attached l immediately ordered the boats out, and went to examine the damage.I found that our bows were completely cut off and the plates twisted into every conceivable shape.The other ship disappeared through the fog.However our ship was floating on her collision bulkhead, but kept ahead, so there seemed no immedi j danger of her sinking.We set to work immediately to clear the wreckage and also to ship our starboard anchor, which was hanging over the starboard bow and in danger of punching more holes in the bow.We heard steamer blowing her whistle on coming hack,and we answered with our fog horn.The steamer then threw up a rocket and fired a shot.We also threw up some rockets and fired several shots, but wo neither saw nor hoard any more of the steamer.Shortly after, or about 5.30 a.m., the fog lifted somewhat and we saw two boats pulling towards us with the French Hag flying.We signaled/hem to come alongside and found that the steamer was La Bourgogne, from Ne York to Havre, and that she had gone down.RESCUED TWO HUNDRED.BRITAIN’S LONG ARM British warships have turned up at San tiago to take away the

are far from pleuliDg for the destruction of pol-i ical criticism or for the cessation of moral condemnation of wrong-doing in the political world.As a matter of tact we look for a press that will

means.ART HALL.Mr.Buchanan of Hamilton will deliver an address in the Art Hall this evening on the coming plebiscite.All who feel any interest in the matter, one way or another, should hear him, as he is said to t>e a fair minded msn, and presents his thoughts in a careful, logical manner.Two talented soloists who are with him will sing several solos and duets.These are highly commended by the

all about 000.Several of the passengers were on life rafts without oars and called for volunteers from among my crew’ and the surviving French seamen to bring those rafts along side of the ship Some of the passengers and seamen from the sunken ship assisted us and we jetti soned some thirty tons of cargo from our forehold in order to lighten the ship At about 3 p.m., another steamer hove in sight bound westward.We put up our signal N.C., (wants assistance.Shortly after the steamer bore down to wards us.She proved to be the Grecian bound from Glasgow to New York.The captain of the Grecian agreed to take the passengers on board and also agreed tow my ship to Halifax.Owing to the condtiion of my ship I accepted the offe and we proceeded at once to tranship the passengers and got ready our tow line At fi p.m., we had made a connection and proceeded in tow of the Grecian towards Halifax, having put a sail over the broken bow to take part of the strain off the collision bulkhead.There was at that time fourteen feet of water in the fore peak.MATE STEWART’S ACCOUNT.my boat neatly clear, but just then I was driven away from the boat.I went further on and saw a raft on skids.By this time the steamer was so listed that one could not walk straight, in fact, could hardly keep on foot.I was chased away from the raft and ran aft again.1 saw some men, passengers, 10 or 12, get a boat around, some one said to cut the forward guy from the davits.I crept on my hands and knees, and did so Men, women and children were all around call ing upon God for help.But only God could help them.Men couldn’t help any-body, we were in too bad a plight to save ourselves.I hung on to the guy rope, and by it swung myself into the overloaded boat.There were 19 or 20 of us in the boat.By this time the steamer was so listed that people could not keep their feet, but were sliding, shrieking into the wa»er.They called for help, but none came.I saw some crowds start to lower gallie boats as the ship sank, hut they couldn’t unheok the blocks.We had only got three yards aw ay when the steamer went down.Her main truck almost striking our boat.Our escape was miraculous, for had the truck struck us none would have escaped.The Bourgogne settled down into the water at an angle of 45 degrees, nntil we could just see her second smoke stacks, then the bow came up perpendicular, the steamer seemed to stand there for an instant and disappeared stern first.” At this point in Zurich’s tale a scene ensued more dramatic than ever witnessed on the stage.Bursting into tears and wringing his hands he cried out in plaintiff tones : “O God, then the sight was awful.’Tis before my eyes all the time.May the Almighty spare me from such another experience ; men, women and children ; some cursing, some crying, some praying, some begging to be saved, women holding their babies in ther arms and calling upon God to save their children, hut no one could help them.” When the awful crash came nearly everyone on the ill-fated French liner were below in their berths, only the watch and officers on duty being on deck.There was little if any outcry from those on board till just as the steamer took her final plunge.Then everything was confusion.The officers lost all control, and it was every one for himself.The steamer took a sudden list, and the women and children all rushed madly to the uppermost side.The men all went to the lower side, and succeeded in reaching the life boats End rafts on that side.Into one boat about forty women and children crowded, but they were unable to get the davitts clear, and when the ship went down she carried the boat and its occupants with her.Mrs.Laçasse, the only woman who escaped of the two hundred on board was rescued by her husband, after being under water twice.The husband showed great bravery.After getting hold of his wife they wore caught in the whirlpool from the sinking ship, and whirled about at a sickening rate for some minutes.When they finally came to the surface, they managed to get on a raft floating near them, on which there were about twenty others.They remained on the raft for eight hours l>e-fore being aeon and taken off by the Cromarty Jure.THE NEWS IN MONTREAL.THAT Mr.Wymann was accompanied by his wife and child, and they were going to their mother country for the purpose of recovering a comparatively valuable estate.It may not be without interest to note that the late Sir J.A.Cbapleau, a week before he died, had written to the Compagnie Translantique, in New York, with the view to making arrangements for crossing over to France on board the Bourg -gne.Among the large mail carried by the ill-fated boat from all parts of the American continent, were six bags from Montre il and surrounding districts.This consisted of 2 bigs of letters and four bags containing magazines and papers.Among tha letters sixty were registered.In addition to this the leather bag containing the official papers of the French Consul-General was lost.THE MARINE DEPARTMENT ORDERS AN ENQUIRY AT HALIFAX Halifax, N.S , July 7 —Capt.W.H.Smith, R.N.R., of the Marine and Fisheries Department, has been

but on enquiry it was found that these two gentlemen are travelling by the Steamer Vancouver.Following are the names of the unfortunate passengers who were from Montreal : Misses Emilia Morin, Marie Anne Cauchon, Annie Plante, Reite Barcelo, Laure Barcelo, and L.A.Letourneau, Mr.Eugene Du Bose, and Mr.and Mrs.and Master Wymann.Among the Montrealers on the ill-fated Bourgogne who lost their lives, are Miss Emilia, Morin, living with her parents at 1490 St.James Street, and Miss Marie Anne Cauchon, also living at home, 247 Quesnel Street.These two young ladies were of a party of six, all of whom left Montreal on Dominion Diy to go to New York to take passage thence to France, there to enter convents of the Franciscan Order of Cloistered Nuns.Miss Morin was 20 years of age, and had intended for the past three years to leave home.This was necessary as no convents of the order are to be found in Canada.Her last words when leaving, were “I’ll meet you all in Heaven.” Marie Anne Cauchon was 23 years old.ShealsY received her education at St.Anne’s convent, Ste.Cunegonde.Although this was her first journey from home she was happy, as it was one step nearer the goal she had wished for for several years.Amongst the other Montrealers who sailed on the ill-fated steamer was Mr.Eugene Dubose, who kept a dry goods store, in partnership with his brother, Mr.Auguste Dubose, at No.1127 Ontario Street.Mr.Eugene Dubose, who, according to all probabilies has perished in the catastrophe, left Montreal on Saturday last, to join his wife and child in France.Mr Eugene Dubose was of French descent and married a French Canadian woman.He was 4fi years old.Mr Auguste Dub fc, on learning the sorrowful news, yesterday afternoon, closed his store on Ontario Street and wired to the authorities of the ‘ Com-psgine Trans-Atlantique,” at New \ork to get m »re reliable information al>out his brother.At a late hour last night Mr.Dubose had received no nows, hut that published by the evening papers.Miss Amaida Letourneau, daughter of Mr.Cesaire Letourneau, of Grand Mere, Que., was another victim of the shipwreck.She was on her way to Lourdes, and Chateaur* ux, France, where she inter dtd to join the Franciscan Claris!s.Miss Ivotourneau has many sisters in Montreal.M.le Gonidek de Kerdaniel, one of the passengers of the Bourgogne, was a cousin to Mr.G.H.de Kermeno, assis4ant editor of the Moniteur du Commerce of this city.Mr.Wymann, another passenger,^ was the head of the firm of Wymann et Fyon, fur dressers, 205 Fortification lane.Washington, D.C.July 7.—Despatches came from General Shatter to-day saying that the army and navy would make a joint attack on Santiago next Saturday afternoon.Gen.Shatter, after many days of rest, will come up against Santiago the second time much refreshed and reinforced to the extent of 3,500 troops.These, added to the 19,000 United States troops already under him and the 8000 under Gen.Garcia, will bring Gen Shafter’s fighting force up to about 30,000.From these must bo deduced 1,700 killed and wounded, officers and men.The total regular force under General Linares ir.the city of Santiago was 11,-450, including thirteen battalions of infantry, 800 men each ; 4 squadrons of cavalry, 75 men each ; one battery, 100 men.To these must be added the recent reinforcements computed at about 7,000 men.LATEST FROM THE FRONT.General Linares has resumed command of the troops in Santiago, but other high officers are deserting to Shafter’s ranks.Fifteen thousand refugees throng the road from Santiago.Lieut Hobson and his men have been exchanged and received back to their ships with great rejoicing.The laziness of the Cuban soldiers is causing strong disgust among the American t: oops.Tluy will work neither on the roads, on the commissariat nor in the hospital camp.They have beer refused rations and placed in a separate camp, under police regulations.The health of the American troops is very satisfactory.Only two of the wounded have died, and not a case of yellow fever has yet been reported More insurgent successes are reported from Manila.President McKinley has appointed next Sunday a day of special thanksgiving and prayer.A dynamite bomb, believed to be the work of Carlists, has been found in the apartments of the Queen of Spain.Spanish officials deny the report that Admiral Camara has been ordered to return to Spain.Walter L.Main’s ALL NEW COLOSSAL SHOWS, CONSOLIDATED!

two destroyers could have steamed out of Santiago and done no damage to the enemy, while they were all sunk.The popular version to-day is that Cor-vera^was bought by the Yankee?, offered no resistance and that the one American killed died of delight at seeing the Spanish squadron sunk.CERVERA MADE PREPARATIONS FOR A LONG VOYAGE.Admiral Cervera’s preparations for dashing out of Santiago harbor had

their kindness in furnishing teams to carry all who wished to go, and in every way helping to make the pic-nic a success.Mr.and Mrs Bay'ey receives the earnest gratitude of the entire party for the happy manner in which they had been entertained.Advertising In Oerumny.German ways of advertising are oon-vldembly different from the pmdimg methods of the Americans.In the electric street ears in Leipsie what few advert ising cards there are find a place on the ceiling instead of around and below it.In the theaters permanent signs appear above the stage setting.Herman ideas of the fitness of things are better than the Saxon's in this n >pect at least.Window displays are iMipular.and many of the windows of the large stores extend down to the floors of the basements.Perhaps the chief mode of street or public advertisement in Loipsic is ths use of a large number of circular columns, about 4 feet in diameter and 19 feet in height, which are stationed throughout the city in conspicuous places.On tho cylindrical surfaces of these iron columns advertisements in great variety are displayed.The form and style used are modest and are usually only small paper placards, of a great variety of colors, announcing the name of the article, its merits and uses.Here also are posted the opera and theater programmes, in type not much larger than the ordinary newspaper size.These advertising posts correspond in a measure to the fence display advertising so much used in American cities, but are really not much more than public bulletin boards.—New York Press.When Flts-Hugh l.tte Kan For Governor.General Lee has been handicapped by a great name.It has stimulated his pride and alnbition, but it has not inspired any vanity.When I asked him if this heritage had helped or hindered him, he said: “It has been a heavy load.I have had the reputation of a lot of ancestor» as well as my own to look after.Whatever good I have done has been credited to them, and whatever of evil has been charged to me and magnified, because people said they had a right to expect much better things of a man of my blood and breeding.“When I was running for governor of Virginia, John Wise said that if my name had been Fitz-Hugh Smith I never would have secured the nomination.I replied that I had known a good many g(xxi men named Smith and would have been as proud of that name as of the one I wore.In that way I got the votes of all the Smiths in Virginia and a letter from a man who told me ‘never to forget Captain John Smith, our first settler, who killed Pocahontas.'— Chap Book.Need of Covering Daring Sleep.The reason it is necessary to be well covered while sleeping is that when the body lies down it is the intention of nature that it should rest, and the heart especially should be relieved of its regular work temporarily.So that organ makes ten strokes a minute less than when the body is in an upright posture.This means 600 strokes in 60 minutes.Therefore in tho eight hours that a man usually spends in taking his night’s rest the heart is saved nearly 6,000 strokes.As it pumps six ounces of blood with each stroke, it lifts 80,000 ounces less of blood in this night’s session than it would during the day, when a man is usually in an upright position.Now, the body is dependent for its warmth on the vigor of the circulation, and as the blood flows so much more slowly through the veins when one is lying down the warmth lost in the reduced circulation must be supplied by extra coverings.— Milwaukee Wisconsin.Boj Soldiers.The best material of which to make fighting soldiers is found in boys from 16 to 21.This is the expression of old commanders.There were many captains in the civil war who were under 20 years of age.There were brigadier generals only 21 years old.General Grant was under 40 when ho entered the war.Stonewall Jackson had won immortal fame at 88 and died at 89.General Sheridan was a general at 80.Fitz-Hugh Lee was a major general at 29.Alexander had conquered tho world before he w as 33.Napoleon became master of FJgypt, crossed the Alps and fought the battle of Marengo at 80.Young men make the best soldiers.The civil wrar was fought by young men and boys.Doan Cures Backache.“I have been troubled for several years with kidney disease, pain in the back, dizziness and sleeplessness, so that at times I could not wo k.Doan’s Kidney Pill, which I started taking about two months ago have made me all O.K.” P.J.McGinnis, Belleville, Ont.3w48 A SUMMER SADNESS.“What kind of rations do they give you at your new place ?” inquired one workman.The other looked at him reproachfully and answered, “Perspirations, that’s all.’’ BREAD !

devoured, for the supposed animal was not a bear, nor yet a lion, not even a wild cat, but one of those small black and white animals about the size of a house cat.They were in a quandary as to what best should be done, but after some consultation one of them decided to open tire on the enemy with his revolver.After taking very careful aim ho tired and “Mr.Skunk’’ never so much as moved.Thinking the animal quite dead, the slayer with smoking weapon, having first lit a match, cautiously approached the spot where his supposed enemy lay dead.His surprise can be better imagined than described to find only a broken beer bottle in the road, the white label of w’hich had been mistaken for the stripe on the supposed skunk’s back We kindly draw a curtain over the scenes which followed.Mr.Daniel

charge of being implicated in the recent robberies in the Melbourne District.He is a brother to the two Patenaude’s who were sentenced to three and five years respectively by Judge Mulvena some ten days ago, and who were also concerned in the attempt to break jail last Saturday.Sam Taylor got information at the trial that the younger brother was as bad as the others, although at the preliminary invert^ tigation there was not sufficient evidence to hold him over.When Sam had the other two convicted he immediately had a warrant sworn out for the arrest of the one brought to Sherbrooke yesterday, but when he went to serve the warrant he found that his man, evidently fearing such a move, had flojvn to parts unknown.The father and the other members of the family professed ignorance as to his w hereabouts, and there was nothing for Con.Taylor but to start out on a still hunt for the burglar.He got several clues of to Ins whereabouts, but always arrived just to learn that he had moved to another part of the country.The diligent search was maintained, and it looked as if he would slip through the grasp of the law.On Tuesday, however, a letter unad-dressed was found near the homestead of the Patnaude’s, and thinking that it might contain information as to the whereabouts of the man wanted, it was handed over to Sam Taylor, who on reading it found that it contained the very information he wanted.It was from the man's father stating that he had sold his farm and he intended going to the Stiles, and for him to meet him at a certain point near Waterloo, when they would both go over to Uncle Sam’s domains.On learnlnu this,Sam Taylor telephoned Constable Wilson at Waterloo the facts of the case, and the latter and an assistant proceeded to the spot indicated with a camera, ostensibly for the purpose of t*k-idg view’s, but more particularly to “take’ the prisoner.This they succeeded in doing, and he was brought to Sherbrooke yesterday by Sam Taylor, but Judge Mulvena being absent, he was remanded until this morning.Great credit is due Sam Taylor for the active mea>ures he has taken to bre*ak up the gang of burglars which for some time past had made matters very uncomfortable for the people of Melb >urne, and it is to be hoped that the sentences meted out to those already in jail will have the effect of putting an end to such depredations.DOMINION EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION.• The third annual meeting of the Dominion Educational Association will be held in Halifax, N.S., on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 2nd to 5th of Au&rust, 1898.It

10 30a.m.and 7.30 p.in.Sabbath School all the year after morning service and Epworth League after evening service.In addition to these regular institu-tion, there is an excellent Home Department with about 60 pupils, and last year a most succesful Reading Club was organized by the Epworth League.The Ladies’ Aid is notable for its enterprize.Quite recently they undertook ilio re-seating of the church in the most modern and approved style, and satisfactorily met the outlay of about $400, later extensions at the parsonage have involved a couple of hundred more, and now heroically they are arranging for the greater comfort of worship by the fixture of a furnace.Another department of work, which though not officially re’attd is practically so, is the W.C.T.U Few of our rural churches present a more varied Christian activity, the aim being, so far as it is possible t > secure it, to have the whole of life cLcumsciibed by Christian influence and interest./ Strangers and visitors will find hearty welcome at all and any of these services and their co-operation in any department of work meet with appreciation.At the last Quarterly Official Board meeting most satisfactory evidence of progression was adduced in the fact of gieat-ly augmented financial resources, $130 being given for connexional funds (of which $85 were for missions) ami $1083 for circuit purposes.In all $1213 were subscribed.The membership also shewed increase.Congregations and offertories exhibit gratify ing advances.TARTAN _ L-J xl_M—.Smoking ¦h TOBACCO J.RattrayaCç.IfMOHTREAUAN g le» g 5
