CENTURY A SHERBROOKE HAN HISSING IN NANCHURIA - The Rev.W.1.Shaw, principal of the Montreal Mevaodist Ft liege, will be one of the fourteen representatives of the Methodist church to attend the forthcoming Church Union Conference in Toronto.Dr.Shaw, being one of the most distinguished among his brethren for breadth of spirit and appreciation of the attainments of other Christian bodies, Montreal Methodists anticipate a good deal from his presence and influence in the conference.It cannot be said, however, that the churches of Quebec are as yet taking a very active interest in the question of organic unity, and the advanced character of the present situation is very little appreciated.MUST NOT BE FORCED.A Toronto News representative called on Dr, Shaw to ask him what would be his attitude at the conference.Dr.Shaw admitted that he was taking a great interest in the matter.“I am personally favorable,” he said, ‘‘to organic union of the churches are ready for it.My l ist words to the late Principal MacVicar, of Montreal, three days before he died, with which he cordially agreed, was : ‘This movement must be neither forced nor hindered.’ I am not sure whether the churches are ready or not, and, therefore, I intend to propose a simple inquiry being sent down through all the membership, or at least through the Official Boards, ‘Do you wish your representative to negotiate at once for organic union V If the answer to this is general and affirmative, it will be a mandate to proceed.If it is not we ought not to proceed.” DIFFICULTIES ARE NOT MANY.“What difficulties do you anticipate in case of negotiations ?” Dr.Shaw was asked.“Well, none as to theological differences, and none as to church courts, so far as the Presbyterians and Methodists are concerned, and not much as to the Methodist itinerancy and Presbyterian settled pastorate.There will be difficulty arising from prejudices held by persons who are influential and by more who are not influential.There will be difficulty in cutting loose the historic connection of each denomination with the past, for the resultant must he a new organization, no longer either Metho-1 (list or Presbyterian, though, pre-• sumably, uniting the benefits of both.In previous unions the results have been in one case, still Presbyterian, j in the other still Methodist.These ! generic words represent common ral-' lying points where the uniting j Churches could agree.But out of this new historical development grows : a difficulty which the man of the .world would treat with contempt, ' viz., the name.I think myself, that if business men can sink thdr pre-judices as to the names of their | irt-! nerships, if only large profits a»c in i sight, we should not imperil the 1 great benefit of union by contending I over a name.” j “How does the Congregational ‘Church stand related to the movement ?” “Well, there is no such church In I Canada as the Congregational Church.There is a federation of in-| dependent chunher', each of which is a Congregational church.Each could stay in or go out of the federation at pleasure and still be a Congregational church.I CQifld say much on this point, but one thing to my mind, is clear.The solidarity which marks the Methodist church in a thousand ways in a very large measure, and almost as much the Presbyterian, cannot he sacrificed without great loss to the efficiency of the church, though it may be modified.If I were a Congregationalist, I would have none of it.But, remember, ihe Congregational ist s represent some of the grandest and greatest forces in modern history, and I cannot tell what concessions their separate churches may be willing to make for the sake of union.” Wm.Davidson, Former Resident V of Port Arthur, Reported to Have Disappeared.AUTHORITIES LOOKING FOR HIM—CHIEF JDAVIDSON, HIS FATHER, HAS WRITTEN OiTAWA TO HAVE THE PROTECTION OF GOVERNMENT EXTENDED TO HIM.Berlin, April 21.—A correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung, writing from Harbin, Manchuria, under date of March 16, says : “Great bitterness has been aroused throughout Manchuria against Americans and British because it is believed American and Britisli vessels took part in the bombardments of Port Arthur under the Japanese flag.This belief apparently is due to the fact that the Japanese fleet was larger than the Russians anticipated and included unknown types of vessels.The feeling is so strong that Americans and British j are not safe anywhere ih Manchuria.; One Railly, an American, and several others, including Davidson, a Cana- | dian, have disappeared.The authori- 1 ties are looking for them.It is reported that an Englishman was arrested at Port Arthur as a spy and was taken to Mukden and hanged.“The plying of the so-called flour boats on the Liao river, mostly under the American flag and carrying American goods, has been prohibited.Southern Manchuria has been scoured for several months for supplies of flour destined for Port Arthur, which is reported to he provisioned for two years.” The above despatch is of more than passing interest to Sherbrooke people, for it is believed that the Davidson mentioned is William Davidson, son of Chief Davidson, of this city.It was well-known by his par- ents here that William Davidson was the only Canadian in Port Arthur.Up to the outbreak of hostilities Mr.Davidson was very regular in his correspondence, hut since the war broke out no communication has been received from him, and it is supposed that while Mr.A.T.Short, and his family, who was with the same company, Mr.Davidson remained behind, as otherwise his people would have had word from him ere this had Ik* reached any point outside of Russian jurisdiction.Mr.Davidson was agent for the Clarkson Company, an American concern that carried on a large trading business in the Far East, and has been in Port Arthur since Although representing an American house, Mr.Davidson did not give up his allegiance to the British flag and carries Canadian passports.This morning on getting communication of the above despatch, his father immediately communicated with the authorities at Ottawa with a view to verifying the truth of the report, and also to see that steps are taken to have the representatives of tin* British Government in the Far East extend the protection which is due to all British subjects.JAPANESE OFFICERS SHOT FOR BEING SPIES Engagement at the Mouth of the Yalu River.TWO JAPANESE OFFICERS CAPTURED.Tien Tsin, April 22.—The two Japanese officers who were captured in Manchuria disguised as Lamas, and who had a large quantity of explosives in their possession, have been taken to Port Arthur.After a court martial they were ordered to be shot.PORT ARTHUR BLOCKED.London, April 22.—The Tokio correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that Port Arthur undoubtedly is effectually blocked, and that events are culminating around the doomed fortress.BOMBARD NEW CHWANG.London, April 22.—The St.Petersburg correspondent of the Standard says it is reported there that the .Japanese have bombarded New Chwang, and landed troops, who will probably try to join the force which is supposed to have landed near the mouth 'of the Yalu river three days ago.FORCES GETTING CLOSER.A despatch to the London Times from New Chwang reports that both sides are getting closer together on the Yalu, and are now five miles distant.UGLY RUMORS.London, April 22.—There is no reliable news of fresh hostilities in the Far East.A rumor that cannot be substantiated comes from Seoul, of an engagement »>n the land near the mouth of the Yalu river on Wednesday.The rumor of the capture of Port Arthur is again current in Seoul.Tien-Tsin reports that Japanese are embarking from Corea for an unknown destination.St.Petersburg, April 22.—The Emperor has received the following telegram from General Kuropatkin under today’s date : “All was quiet on the Yalu river on the Iflth and 20th, and there was no change.“On the night of the 19th opposite.Cape Tower Hill, west of Kai-Chju, a steamer was observed sending off boats evidently for the purpose of taking soundings.The boats soon returned.Rebuilding Will Soon Start at Toronto.CATASTROPHE WILL NOT BE FOLLOWED BY FINANCIAL PANIC.Minard’s Liniment Cures temper Dis- i Toronto, April 21—Preparations have already begun for the rebuilding ' of the burned district.Already some of the prominent firms have despatched their travellers to New York and Europe to secure new stocks.A prominent labor man said this morning that labor organizations would not seek to make capital out of the added building work, and some branches which have been agitating for a new* scale of wages, have decided to lay the matter over for a year.The

furious flames of party feeling.Mr.Borden, goaded by Mr.Cowan’s direct accusation, made a personal explanation, in which he acknowledged having received the document, but said it was handed to him by a gentleman not in the employ of the Government.Anyway, he questioned whether it was really a confidential paper, as it w’as the opinion of a public man on a public question.Sir Wilfrid Laurier said the issue was as to where the document came from.It was plain someone had violated the law, and it was Mr.Borden’s ! duty to tell how it reached his hands.Hon.Mr.Fielding put the case even stronger, and compared Mr.Borden j to a man who had received stolen ! goods, and said he owed it to his | own honor to explain where the doeu-! ment came from.The debate on th?! railway bill was continued by Mr., Frank Oliver, Mr.Rufus Pope and | Mr.William Roche, of Halifax.(Edited by Comptona ) Our Unions have, in March and April, brought before them our two departments of Hospital Aid and Systematic Giving.The subjects are closely related and we hope, have, or 1 will, receive thoughtful consideration from our sisterhood.As a corollary to the excellent letters of our county ; superintendents on the subject we ap- ! pend the following selections : “Largely thou givest gracious Lord, Largely Thy gifts should be restor-| ed Freely Thou givest, and Thy w’ord Is “Freely Give He only who forgets to hoard • Has learned to live.” THE PRINCIPLE OF GIVING.The principle of giving the first fruits to God is recognized in St.Paul’s Epistles.1 believe many who give much lose much of the blessing of it, because they give contrary to the principles laid down in the Bible.They often give as the result of impulse or rivalry and competition.God has never let go his right to the things material.Everything a man gets God snips a bit out of it, to remind the man that he did not get MEN AND WOMEN.Va» Kif for unnatural di» “How (iid >ou live •’ ing Lydia E.Pinkham’s Vegetable

writes us from 62 Broad Sk, Utica, N.Y., under date of Dec.81st, 1901.He says:—Some time ago I received a letter from your firm, saying that some years ago you received a testimonial from me, stating that I had 600 boils.Yes, sir, I had, and must say that I have never had the reappearance of one since I took the course of your BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS.I thank God that I have had good health ever

“I do not know, unless it was this ; I believe that when I had taken one shilling for the Lord, the Lord made every penny of the nine shillings go as far as twopence.” A BRIGHT EXAMPLE.“Many years ago a lad of sixteen years left home to seek his fortune.All his worldly possessions were tied up in a bundle, which he carried in his hand.As he trudged along, he met an old neighbor, the capiain of a canal-boat ; and the following conversation took place, which changed the whole current of the boy’s life “ ‘Well, William, where are you going ?’ “ ‘I don’t know,’ he answered ; ‘father is too poor to keep me at home any longer, and says I must now make a living for myself.’ “ ‘There’s no trouble about that,’ said the captain.‘Be sure you start right, and you’ll get along finely ’ “William told his friend that the only trade he knew anything about was soap and candle making, at which he had helped his father while at home.44 ‘Well,* said the old man, ‘let me pray with you once more, and give you a little advice, and then I will let you go.* “They both kneeled down upon the tow-path )the path along which the horses which drew the canal-boats walked) ; the dear old man prayed earnestly for William, and then gave this advice : ‘Some one will soon be the leading soap-maker in New York.It can be you as well as anyone.I hope it may.Be a good man ; give your heart to Christ ; give the Lord all that belongs to him of every dollar you earn ; make an honest soap ; give a full pound ; and I am certain you will yet be a prosperous and rich man.’ “When the boy arrived in the city he found it hard to get work.Lonesome, and far from home, he remembered his mother’s words and the last words of the canal-boat captain.He was then, there, led to ‘seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,” and united with the church He remembered his promise to the old captain, and the first dollar he earned brought up the question of the Lord’s part.In the Bible he ! found that the Jews were commanded to give one-tenth : so he said, ‘If the Lord will take one-tenth, I will give that.’ And so he did ; ten cents ! 1 of every dollar were sacred to the | Lord.! “Having regular employment, he ^ soon became a partner ; and after a few years his partners died, and William became the sole owner of the j business.j “He now resolved to keep his pro- 1 mise to the old captain ; he made an honest soap, gave a full pound and instructed his bookkeeper to open an account with the Lord, and carry one-tenfh of all his income to that ! account.He prospered; his business ’ grew ; his family was blessed ; his soap sold, and he grew richer faster than he had ever hoped.He then gave the Lord two-tenths, and prospered more than ever ; then he gave three-tenths, then four-tenths,, then five-tenths.j “He educated his family, settled all • his plans for life, and gave all his income to the Lord.lie prospered more than ever.“This is the story of William Colgate, who has given millions of dollars to the Lord’s cause, and left a name that will never die.” Perhaps in these instances may he found the true solution of a great question : How shall we get the means to give the gospel to a lost world ?It is no longer a question of men to go.but of money with which to send them.And the money is in the hands of Christ’s professed disciples,—enough and more than enough Miss Johann Mayor, Given Up by Two Doctors, is Again a Strong Healthy Girl.Lochiel, Glengarry Co., Ont., April 18 —(Special.)—That Bright’s Disease has come within the reach of Medical Science and is no longer on the list of incurable diseases is again proved in the case of Miss Johann Mayor, of this place.In an interview Miss Mayor says : “1 had Bright’s Disease in its worst stages and had to give up a profitable position with a corset firm.Two doctors whom I consulted gave me up, telling me I had let the disease go too far.I spent a fortune with doctors besides going to Caledonia Springs each summer, but no good resulted and I began to think I could not endure life much longer.“It was then I started to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills and it is owing to them entirely that I am at work today, a strong healthy girl.It took eight boxes in all to complete the cure, but I did not take the first two boxes regularly as 1 had no faith in them.You may be sure in future I will never be without Dodd’s Kidney Pills.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills always cure Blight’s Disease.How sure it is they will cure all the earlier stages of Kidney Disease.CHURCH SERVICES.Sunday, April 24.Eustis and Capelton—Christ chi ich at 10

Canadian Wheat Fields A writer in the Review of Reviews this month asked this question “Who can estimate, with any ap proach to accuracy, the wheat growing acreage of the Canadian Provinces and Territories ?” The question is rather difficult to answer especially at the present time Just now the total number of acres suitable for cultivation is 171,000,000 but beyond the boundaries of Manitoba and the Territories, where these acres lie.are the vast Northern Territories of Athabaska and Mackenzie family from the rigors of the Canadian climate.The small clearing was slowly enlarged

shortly the time will be upon us for seeding and planting.The appearance of thej City of Sherbrooke could be greatly improved and beautified, if more of its people took an interest in flow'-ers, shrubs and trees, especially the two latter.The city has already a large number of shade trees but there is a dearth of shrubs and flowers.True it is, that some of our citizens quired, in a short time, a remarkable mastery of the facts and figures relating to the public revenues and expenditures of the province.An illuminating comparison made by Mr.McCorkill was contained in the simple statement that as $1,600,000 is annually consumed in paying interest, the province has but $3,122,-189 to soend on ordinary expenditures, as compared with $5,466,650 available by Ontario for similar purposes.Over thirty per cent, of the provincial revenue is derived from the Crown Lands Department, so ably presided over by the Premier, the I sum of $1,455,386 being its contribution.It is around this fund that the fiercest struggle wages in the Legislature, the Opposition claiming that the money derived from the sale of Crown Lands and timber rights should go to capital account, and not be included in current revenue.Mr.McCorkill faced this attack squarely and argued that, under the j The following is the summary of the great Toronto fire on Wednesday morning : Loss on

at work—196 from Toronto, 10 from Hamilton, 33 from Buffalo, 6 from London, from Toronto Junction, and 12 from Peterborough.Most important wholesale houses of the city destroyed.Manufacturing establishments west of Yonge street were deprived of motive power by the cutting of the wires connecting them with the Electric Light Company.It has developed that the suicide of Rev.Colin Duguid,

du Loup, was received by the Attorney-General here this afternoon.It had been arranged that a detachment of the provincial police would go down to Riviere du Loup this afternoon, but this was countermanded.The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has upheld the decision of the Ontario courts that the city of Kingston need not pay the Kingston Light, Heat & Power Company for its franchise.The Montreal Gazette was quite angry the other day because another Paper had recently directed attention to the successful system of mechanical cold storage introduced by the Hon.Mr.Fisher in the spring of 1897, which has been specially com-menhed to the United States Government by its consular representatives.The Gazette complains of the statement that “without this system we would have been driven out of the English market” and even more of the statement that Air.Fisher planned and initiated the system.It says, “The system is no more Air.Fisher’s than it is the King of Siam’s,” and claims that “last year , only fifty-eight per cent, of the butter shipped by Canada was sent cold j storage, about five per cent, of the I apples, one per cent, of the cheese, and less than one per cent, of the bacon.” The last official report prepared and published by the Dairy Commissioner’s branch of the Agriculture Department, explicitly states that “during the past season there were carried in cold storage to British ports 335,395 packages of butter, 21,834 barrels and 27,102 boxes of apples” and that only “454 packages of butter were carried as ordinary cargo.” “There were 6,731 cases of Canadian cases as ordinary cargo.” In addition “there were 10,674 cases of pears carried in cold storage and 916 I American pears and small fruits carried in cold storage.” “There were 43,800 boxes of cheese, 15,355 cases of Canadian bacon and 10,542 cases of American bacon carried in cool air chambers during the season of navigation from the port of Alontreal.” This is indeed quite a remarkable showing in view of the fact that during the past season the weather was unusually cool during the summer months.After all it is pretty generally recognized that the arrangements provided by the department for the transportation of apples, cheese and bacon are something in the nature of an insurance against the deterioration of these perishable products during extremely warm weather As a matter of fact an increasingly large quantity of apples, cheese and bacon are being carried in the ships ' a the Minister has had fit-?« ’ with equipment, providing either forced circulation of the ordinary atmosphere in reasonably cool weather, or in hot weather, providing the cooling of the air by mechanical refrigerators to he afterwards circulated through parts of the steamships by means of fans.This new feature, inaugurated in 1901, had during the last season been developed to the extent that there were 61 sailings of fourteen steamships fitted with cool air chambers, having a cold storage capacity of 191,600 cubic feev.The year before this the Dominion Line Steamship Company received the following letter from the largest Canadian exporter of apples : “In all cases when you have any goods going forward, unless you have direct orders to do otherwise, put them in cooled air or cold storage in preference to the ordinary storage.I believe it pays better every trip to do this.” What part of responsibility and credit belongs to the advising expert with whom the Minister discusses details, and what part of responsibility and credit belongs to the Minister, who acts and takes all the consequences of his action, is pretty’generally appreciated No one knows better or more loudly proclaims the excellence of Prof.Robertson’s work than the present Minister of Agriculture.Both arc animated by the desire to promote what they think is the best interest of the farmers of Canada, and the farmers who have had the opportunity of discussing these questions with Afr.Fisher, either at agricultural conventions or at his office in Ottawa, recognize that had it not been for Mr.Fisher’s advent to the Department of Agriculture, there would never have been such excellently organized government aid to agriculture and agricultural products as have been realized during the past seven years.In a pamphlet published by the Montreal Gazette, the season before last entitled “Export Trade of the Port of Montreal, Season 1902,” it is stated that : “Cold storage is now a recognized and, in fact, indispensable factor of QUEEN OF ACTRESSES PRAISES PE-RU-NA.MISS JULIA MARLOWE.our growing export trade in perishable products.The marked increase in our exports of butter during the past season is the strongest possible proof that could he afforded as to the value of refrigeration for export purposes.” “Thanks to the energy of the Dominion Agricultural Department, we are again enabled to record a further increase in the refrigeration facilities on shipboard, during the season, consequently we are justified in saying that the great increase in our exports of butter has been rendered possible only through the introduction of superior refrigeration facilities, particularly on hoard ship.Six additional ships : Devona, Kildona, Montcalm, .Monterey, Pom per an i an and Iona, have been equipped during the season by the Linde British Refrigeration Company with the Linde Cool Air System, making in all ten ships employing this latest development in mechanical refrigeration.” Now the British Linde Refrigeration Company had their system established on Australian steamships from 1893 onwards and Australia through this means then forged ahead of us in the British market.The system had been adopted here in Canada with perfect success early in the nineties by the cold storage warehouses of Alontreal and Toronto.Then what excuse could the Conservative Alinisters of Agriculture offer for not introducing it, when Prof Robertson recommended it in preference to the ice system ?What excuse had they for establishing instead—on a niggardly scale, with a cheese-paring expenditure of $16,000 only,—a very limited equipment of miserable ice cold storage on steamships, without any inspection at any of the points to give even that one-horse system a fair trial ?One of Mr.Fisher’s first acts of administration was to introduce the British Linde system on a considerable number of ocean steamships, at a cost of $100,800 a year during three successive years ; to make ice storage on railways effective and complete by securing the building of proper cars and providing equipment for icing them and inspecting them ; to inaugurate a system of bonuses to creameries and for their inspection, which has resulted in 500 creameries out of a total in 1900 of 629 being equipped in accordance with the departmental plans and maintained according to the strict conditions imposed as to quantity and temperature.An integral part of Air.Fisher’s system was to establish a thorough inspection at every point in this complete chain from the producer to the consumer.This feature of inspection has substantially contributed to make this system the great success it is today.The inspection is not confined to articles shipped in cold storage but extends to all agricultural produce exported from the navigation ports of the country.Everything is carefully watched at all points, at the place of production, in the course of the railway transportation, in the handling at the port of shipment and at the port of destination, and full reports are made to headquarters so that proper representations may be made, which have nearly always resulted in improvement.When—very largely through these measures, the total exports of such perishable products as butter, cheese and bacon alone have increased during the seven years since 1896 by the enormous sum of $130,000,000, it is not surprising that moderate, public spirited men commend the minister’s work.The farmers of Canada, w'e may be sure, will continue to give Air.Fisher his due share of credit, as wrell for the excellent transportation of perishable products as for the remarkable increase for the seven years since 1896 in the total exports of all agricultural products, of $247,581,000, an amount equivalent to $525, for every farm in Canada, big and small, as shown by the census of 1901.-X- For a Stiff

Peruna Medicine Co., Miss Julia Marlowe of New York City, has the following to say of Peruna: “I am glad to write my endorsement of the great remedy, Peruna, as a nerve tonic, / do so most heartily."-—Julia Marlowe, Nervousness is very common among women.This condition is due to anemic nerve centers.Tho nerve centers are tho reservoirs of nervous vitality.These centers become bloodless for want of proper nutrition.This is especially true in tho spring season.Every spring a host of invalids aro produced as the direct result of weak nerves.This could bo easily obviated by tho use of Peruna.Peruna strikes at the root of tho difficulty by correcting the digestion.Digestion furnishes nutri- tion for tho nerve centers.Properly digested food furnishes these reservoirs of life with vitality which leads to strong, steady nerves, and thus nourishes life.' Peruna is in great favor among women, especially those who have vocations that are trying to tho nervous system.Peruna furnishes tho lasting in-vigoratlon for tho nerves that such people so much need.Thousands of testimonials from women in all parts of tho United States aro being received every year.Such unsolicited evidence surely proves that Peruna is without an equal as a nerve tonic and a vital in-vigorator.Buy a bottle of Peruna today.If you do not receive all the benefits from Peruna that you expected, write to Dr.Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.omis'Wv iuiicii // we cannot produce tne origma* letter and signature of above testimonial which wei demonstrates its full genuineness.The Eastern Townships Clothing Co.(•) I Annual Attor Easter Sale ot.J u A discount that at this time of the season is a boon to all intending purchasers We have decided to offer our entire stock of Ladies’ Tailor made Costumes for one week at a Discount of 20 p c.Hear in mind that these Costumes are not old style, but this season’s newest creations.The assortment includes the leading colors as well as blacks Costumes for every taste and fancy.He ear y for first choice of this handsome lot at 20 p.c.Discount I Sole Agente for Progress Prend Clothing J.L.VINEBERG, Managing Director, 147 Wellington street, Sherbrooke.Bell Telephone 338 COLUMBIA CRAPHOPHONE1 FREE kind of It playe Inetrumenuu mualo* ****•• overy elnee of I eon*s, teifs you *3' of funny etorloo.It Plays Itself •om mnslrei MKTflMrftonff rewH-TT'airathe.Dtrl* Ctrl Ann I# Unrl*.m lr*t A,,“ w- ‘ - KaSbeS SENDNOMorar.to, Slid sdiAlI you iKVAtpnid.j t pick lures of fresh Sweet \'r%H •t lOc.each.(A certifhate ^ h fwirrhsaer ) Kv» Is hand«°n,eiy decorated in 12 contain» «1 0f the rarest, nr njoat fragrant rarletlss fn J,, •Me color.They non , Slid we win Immediately g^nd y a»’Mfylng horn; all hand1 s— -v —3;—— .ow» rwns racorri—rrawaina, 1 >1X1 e (Jiri Annie I An He gome Old (»akim Buoket.Kal y «».Our Alley, Hy WiW Irish Ko*e' 1 Holy City.Howe sweet Home, e*- -*-'' »*—«—.—• .t h mm M» n dn i to Old Virgin «‘,r • w rndemand this Is not * ••ff playlne Oraphnnhons.with which you can sirs concerts In an i m loud sJuUer as any •So.gslxlkii* Machlacj wJU ft» bTÆI Its hall or room as U sinea, ¦ur.CrW.SmA Co, pt I V* * s
