[" Sherbrooke Daiw Record.Ettablishod 1897 SHERBROOKE, QUE., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18 EXPLOSIVE MAIL PACKAGE MYSTERY BAFFLES JURY Was Addressed to Mr.Bilodeau, Only Point Established at First Session of Inquest.Some Theories Advanced Which, However, Lack Tangible Support.Provincial Detectives Called in.Cannot Trace Package Beyond Mail Carrier.LATEST DEVELOPMENTS OF MYSTERIOUS CASE Sherlock Holmes would lind iu the tragic occurrence of yesterday a case to his entire liking.An infernal machine, cleverly and effectively constructed, is transmitted through the mails on a deadly errand.It explodes with terrific force and a life is destroyed, a second person is injured, and the room wrecked.The deadly package itself is blown to atoms.To the lay mind no clue presents itself.The case is baffling.The deed one of the most horrible that could have been committed, as it is only by chance that the package was not opened in the presence of the whole family, including several small children.OUTSTANDING FEATURES.1.\tThe package according to the statement of the postman was addressed by typewriter to A.0.Bilodeau, not to Mrs.Bilodeau.2.\tIn the opinion of a local chemist the explosive consisted of nitro-gly-cerine and nitric acid; cleverly arranged so that these two substances came in contact on the opening of the paçknsre, causing the explosion.3.\tSuch an infernal machine could only have been planned and constructed by some person acquainted with explosives and possessing a good deal of ingenuity.4.\tIt has been impossible thus far to trace the package beyond the mail carrier.Clerks at the post office have no recollection of it.Mr.Armstrong, who collects from the city boxes, has no recollection of such a package.It is probable that it was mailed in Canada, otherwise it would have been sent to the Customs department.5.\tMr.Bilodeau declares that he has no knowledge of having an enemy and itiinnot offer the slightest information that would aid in the search for the perpetrator of the outrage.ti.The Provincial authorities have been notified and Provincial detectives will be put on the ease.7.The inquest last night, as reported below, established only one important point, namely, that the package was addressed to Mr.Bilodeau.Adjournment was made till Thursday night.SOME THEORIES- shortly after her arrival at the hospital it was found that particles of sand stuck to it.I also looked at the burns on the dead woman, and am of the opinion that the burns were caused either by nitro-glycerine or fulminate of mercury.\u201cIn my opinion the box contained nitric acid and nitro-glycerine.The nitro-glycerine could have been placed, some years jjast in Sherbrooke, and in a bottle and if covered with sand could be sent through the mail.The explosion could have been caused by DETECTIVES WILE ' ARRIVE TO-Ni\u2019GHT This morning Coroner Bachand got into communication with the Attorney General\u2019s Department, Quebec, and laid the facts of the case before them.He was told that a detective would immediately be sent to take charge of the case, and endeavoT to ferret it out.The Coroner was instructed not to hurry with the inquest.^ ^^ arranging the box so that v.-hen the cover was removed the nitro-giycer-ine would be released, and' when it came in contact with the nitric acid an explosion would follow.\u201cThe box must have weighed more than the postman said it weighed.It must have weighed at least twelve ounces.\u201cThe cotton found by the ihysicians near the wounds was nothing but gun cotton, and is not explosive.\u2019ihric was likely some of this in the box.\u201d MACHINE WORK OF AN EXPERT.Tile man who prepared the infernal machine which hurled Mrs.Bilodeau to instant death, was an expert.It was no lay mind that devised such an instrument of destruction.In preparing it so that it would reach his intended victim care had to be taken that it was not exploded prematurely.Only a skilled artisan could have devised such a death-dealing machine to withstand the racketting that all parcels receive when going through the mails.These are not handled in a gentle manner by any means.Had the package contained an explosive that would be set off by coming in contact with another hard substance it certainly would not have reached the Bilodeau home.This fact showed the ingenuity of the maker and how ly all the witnesses were not on hand.After examining three or four an adjournment was made until Thursday evening, when it is expected the Coroner will have received definite instructions from Quebec.Feeling that the case was of the utmost importance, Coroner Bachand wired to the Attorney-General this morning, and is now awaiting bis reply.The first witness examined was Mr.Alphonse Bilodeau, husband of' the carefully he had laid his plans to getj dead woman.As he was absent from There is very little at the present time upon which to base any theory.A first thought would be that Mr.Bilodeau, being a contractor, may have had at some time in his employ \u2014possibly a foreigner of the anarchistic class, skilled in explosives, who may have left his employ with a grievance.Interviews with Mr.Bilodeau do not bring to light anything to support this.Another theory suggested would be that there may have been some feud, possibly of long standing, between Mr.Bilodeau or some member of his family nml some party either locally or at a distance\u2014some skeleton in the family closet so to speak which may have culminated in this outrage.Again, interviews with members of\t,\t, , the family fail to bring out anything / 1 he room had been cleared up, in his foul wars.It is horribl\" to think what the conseci'iences would have been in the Bilodeau home had the postman delivered the fatal package three-quarters of an hour later.Then the whole family would have been in the house at the dinner hour, and there is no question but that the opening of a package coming through the mail would have aroused the curiosity of the children, and had such been the case there would no doubt have been other blanks in the Bilodeau family.INTERVIEW WITH MR.BILODEAU.Mr.A.0.Bilodeau, the husband of the unfortunate victim, was interviewed by the Record last evening at his home on Sanborn Street.He escorted the representative to the kitchen where the tragedy took place.but to support a theory of this nature.The package could scarcely have been sent without criminal intent.It is not impossible that Mr.Bilodeau, in conversation with Provincial detectives, may he able to give some information which may lead to a clue.The aspect of the affair at the present moment is extremely baffling.NITRIC ACID AND NITRO-GLYCERINE.Mr.Gustave Richard, chemist, gave the Record some interesting information hearing on the case, this morning.Mr.Richard stated that he had just returned from the hospital where lie examined the clothing worn by Miss Bilodeau, who was injured by the explosion.He referred to his examination as follows : \"I examined the clothing worn by Miss Bilodeau, and from the holes burnt into the cloth 1 have no hesitation in saying that the burns were caused by acid, in aU»\u201e,.probability nitric acid.The holes wore red.1 also find that there must have been sand or sawdust in llie box, for on Miss Bilodeau\u2019a face were found several marks such as would be made by sand, and when a wet cloth was placed over her face there was still sufficient evidence left to show the effects of the awful blow which caused the instant death of his wife.As already mentioned two of the windows were blown out, and the framework badly smashed.The wood work close to where Mrs.Bilodeau fell was bespattered with blood, and pieces of flesh seemed to he driven right into the wood.On a shelf, which is about twelve inches from the ceiling, pieces of the body were found.On another alieT at the other side of the room stood a kitchen clock, and the hands were stopped by the force of the concussion, at eleven minutes past eleven o\u2019clock.Mr.Bilodeau stated that when the postman knocked at the door and left the fatal parcel she was engaged In preparing some dye stuff for a dress.When she got the parcel and letters she proceeded to sit down on a chair near the window facing Sanborn Street.Miss Bilodeau, his sister, was about a stove and a half length away, and was proceeding to see what Mrs, Bilodeau had in her hand, when she saw a flame followed by the explosion.KNOWS OK NO ENEMY.On being questioned as whether he was aware of any person harboring a grievance against him, Mr.Bilodeau said that so far as he was aware he had none.He may have had diferene-es of opinion on business matters, hut then, he added, that was nothing, as all in business had such.\u201cI have lived in Montreal and for I have never done anything to my knowledge that would engender the hatred of any man.I have always tried to do what was right with all with whom I came in contact.The bomb was intended for me, as it was my .address that was on the package.I am all at sea on the matter.It is an awful thing, and poor wife was the victim.I hope the authorities will press the matter and get the guilty party.\u201d Mr.Bilodeau talked quite freely about the tragedy, and seems to stand the awful shock well.He is quite ready and willing to give all the information he can on the matter.THE INQUEST.The inquest was held at the residence of Mr.Bilodeau last evening.Coroner Bachand presiding.The following jurors were sworn in: Felix Brunelle, foreman; O.Trudeau, A.Olivier, J.A.Metivier and J.A.Bellveau.The room in which the inquest was begun was very small, and consequently none but the jurors, witnesses and newspaper men were admitted.It was understood that an adjourn ment would he made, and consequent- FUNERAL ON FRIDAY.The funeral of the late Mrs.Bilodeau, the victim of yesterday\u2019s tragedy, will take place on Friday morning from her late residence.DANVILLE BOARDOF TRADE Constitution Adopted and Committees Were Appointed FIRST MEETING SINCE THE ORGANIZATION WAS WELL ATTENDED.Danville, June 18.\u2014(Special)\u2014 The first meeting of the Danville and Shipton Board of Trade since its or ganization a few weeks ago, was held in the Temple room of the Town Hall Monday evening.The attendance was not quite as large as was anticipated but those who were present were fully alive to the benefits to he derived from belonging to the Board.The fact was emphasized during the meeting that not only the residents of Danville, but those residing in the Township of Shipton, were entitled to become members upon making application and paying the fees.Mr.M.H.Richey presided.The constitution and by-laws of the Ayer\u2019s Cliff Board were adopted temporarily.A motion was passed that a special committee consisting of Messrs.Mayor Guilmette, C.H.Cleveland and E.E.Philbrick to

accident occurred, and did not return until all .was over, he was not in a position to throw much light on the affair.His sworn evidence was as follows: \u201cI know of no cause why any person should send this explosive.I was not present when ethe explosion took [dace.I have no idea in the world who sent the box, nor do I suspect anyone.I know of no enemies who would do such a thing.\u201d As it was evident Mr.Bilodeau could throw no light on the case, no further questions were asked of him, and he withdrew.POSTMAN\u2019S EVIDENCE.The evidence of Orner Gaumont, the postman who delivered the mysterious box, was next taken.It was important, inasmuch as it showed the box was addressed to Mr.A.O.Bilodeau, not to Mrs.Bilodeau, as first reported.His evidence, as recorded by the Coroner, was as follows: \u201cI knew the deceased very well.About 11 o\u2019clock this morning I brought her the mail, which consisted of two letters and a small package.The package was about six inches long and two inches wide and high It was very light.I did not notice the number of stamps on the box, but they must have been .Canadian stamps or else the box would have gone to the Customs House.I noticed nothing out of the ordinary about the box, simply that it was tied with a piece of string.The address typewritten on it was, 'A.O.Bilodeau, Banborn Street, Sherbrooke.\u2019 The typewriting on the box looked very much like the typewrit ing on one of the letters.After delivering the mail l left the house and had gone only about two hundred feet when I heard an explosion.Turning hack, I saw smoke coining out of the window, and immediately sent in a fire alarm.On the arrival of the firemen I entered the house and there found the woman dead.There were several others In the house when we entered.\u201d This concluded the postman\u2019s evi-(Continued on Page 5) Advertising \u2014 Messrs.;A H.Bridgman, E.O.Thibault and A.C.Miquelon, convener.Reception and Entertainment \u2014 Messrs.J.E.Guilmette,

week.8IL0BE! 11 WILL TELL DETECTIVES A.0.Bilodeau admitted this afternoon that he had been advised to withhold certain information in his possession.This he will lay before the detectives when they arrive to take up the investigation into the circumstances of the death of his wife yesterday forenoon.PIECES OF LETTER FOUND.A close search of the kitchen where Mrs.Bilodeau fell dead yesterday forenoon was made to-day, and the searchers found several pieces of cardboard which had the appearance of having been burned by the explosive.There were also fragments of a typewritten letter found on the woodwork near where Mrs.Bilodeau fell.They are part of a typewritten letter and are most probably part of the' letter which was in the box.The words were made out by a strong magnifying glass, as they had been obliterated by the smoke from the explosion.They are \u2018\u2018mangle\u201d or \u201cmingle,\u201d \u201csinple,\u201d and \u201cartif.\u201d A piece of a bine five-cent stamp was also found on tire woodwork.Besides this, a piece of felt, such as might have covered the explosive, was also found, and a piece of thin white silk ribbon with which the package was tied.NEW WITNESSES WILL BE CALLED.At the adjourned inquest to-morrow night, three witnesses, employees at the post office, will be called.They are Wm.Campbell, B.Desruisseaux, and A.Boiscelic.It is expected that evidence will be adduced from them to prove that the parcel was mailed in Sherbrooke.Coroner Bachand, it is believed, will call witnesses who, in a large measure, will determine where the package came from.MAKES Says Mr.Borden Would Not Carry More Than 8 Seats in Quebec TIME FOR LENIENCY HAS IfW PASSED Heavy Sentences Passed on Militant Suffragettes ORDERS THAT THEY BE KEPT IN PRISON EVEN IN FACE OF DEATH.London, June 18.\u2014Prior to passing sentence on six of the most prominent leaders of the militant suffragette organization yesterday, found guilty of complicity to commit malicious damage to propc- \u2019y, Judge Phillimore said that douutless the prisoners sincerely believed that by their lawless conduct they were forwarding a good cause.\u201cSome of you must be religious,\u201d he continued.\u201cIf you are not atheists you must believe in a moral governor of the universe.I commend to you the statement of a modern writer\u2014a woman, I believe\u2014who characterizes the belief that the end justifies the means of \u2018treason against the Almighty.\u2019 \u201d Whatever the motives of the prisoners had been, Judge Phillimore said that he must treat them as persons who had done a very serious injury to public peace and who must he restrained from doing further mischief and made to some extent an example to others.After passing sentence he said : \u201cOne of the counsel has suggested that the time for leniency has passed, and I do not think you will meet with quite the same treatment as have the others.I am bound to add that if the Home Secretary consults me, as he often consults a judge, ! shall take upon myself the responsibility of saying to him that the ringleaders among you, at any rate, should not be let out of prison under any circumstances.\u201d \u201cThen we shall die together,\u201d exclaimed Miss Kenney.The Judge\u2014\u201cIf you, in the wordurof our great poet, violate the great ean-on the Everlasting has fixed against self-slaughter, you will have to reconcile such action .with your conscience.\u201d Miss Kenney\u2014\u201cI am quite prepared to do that.\u201d Miss Barrett (excitedly)\u2014\u201cWe shall all hunger-strike.'\u2019 Mrs.Saunders\u2014\u201cMr.McKenna will not keep me in prison against my will.\u201d Miss' Kenney\u2014\u201cTriey have got to let me out or kill me.I think your summing up was most biased and unfair.You ought to he ashamed of yourself to receive six thousand pounds a year for hounding women.\u201d A large crowd had gathered outside the Old Bailey to witness the departure of the women for the prison, but there was no demonstration.PAS* AWAY Of DUE 7 L.W.Wright Was Prominent Farmer and Resident of Place more than eight seats in Quebec if there was to be a general election.He stated that

He offered his congratulations to the boys who had won prizes.Since last speech day all the boys who had been sent up to the Royal Military College, Kingston, had been successful, and Greenwood hail taken f.he highest place of any of the cadet schools in Canada.Among the old hoys at Kingston, one had graduated and taken second place, and it was exceedingly probable he would gain a commission in the Royal Engineers, and several others had gained dis Unction.He expected their boys who were sitting at McGill ami Kingston this year would all do well.In athletics the various teams had well maintained the honor of the school.Whether they won or lost, they played a gentlemanly and clean game, and they believed that games were of the utmost value in the for mation of character.The Cadet Corps had passed a very satisfactory Inspection.Mr.Williams referred to the cloud that had passed oyer the school in the loss by death of three boys of the highest character, whose useful lives wool 1 stand out as an example to them.In conclusion he said that far better than success in the schoolrooms or playing fields was the moral tone of the school.The population and wealth of the country were rapidly increasing, and it was essential that the future leaders in politics, in mn nicipal life and in business should he men of character.That school had turned out many line men who were holding important positions in Can ads.mid other parts of the Empire, and they were trying to live up to the record attained by the school in the past.He acknowledged the val-unble help received from the directors, who were nearly all old boys.He was grateful for the loyal sup nort of the masters, and mentioned the conscientious work of Miss Jef fery nml Mrs.Holt.He wished all the boys who were leaving this year nil future happiness and success.Mr.Williams then called upon Hir \\ Mr.S.J.POWERS Cottage, Kingston Ave.Seven rooms and bathroom, hot water heat, finished in hardwood.All modern conveniences.Nice stable and cne extra lot 50 x 10O.This property is new and up-to-date.Two minutes' walk from.Hand Drill Works.Price $4,000 Robert Seiveright Real Estate and Custom* Broker.Phone Office 812.House 1296.1 York Apartments J Any Minute You may need ihem.Lensis are easily broken and your mounting may get out of order.Don\u2019t run the risk, let me male yon a second pair of glasse?.J.C.McConnell, Optician ¦ N v- j*a t t\\ f \\< 135 Wellington St.\tSherbrooke H.Montagu Allan to distribute the prizes.SIR H.MONTAGU ALLAN.Sir H.Montagu Allan, Montreal, said he was delighted to hear the excellent account of the year\u2019s work, and congratulated the school upon both the scholastic and athletic re-s.lta.Considerable all-round progress had been made during the year and the future of the school was assured.One of the greatest assets they could have was the enthusiasm of the boys, and the greatest benefit the boys could confer on their school was to live up to the traditions of the past.The Very Rev.Dean Williams moved a vote of thanks to Sir H.M.Allan for distributing the prizes, and referred to the fact that they were both at the school more than forty years ago, and each would do ail ' lie could to further its prosperity.He appealed to the boys to uphold the reputation the school bad acquired.THE PRIZE LIST.The prize list is as follows: Governor-General's Medal\u2014G.A Magor.Lieut.Governor\u2019s Medal\u2014G.A.Ma gor.Bank of Commerce Medal\u2014W.J.Whitehead.The Pattee Shield\u2014G.A.Magor.Old Boys\u2019 Prize\u2014G.A.Magor.The Irving Prize\u2014H.A.Smith.The Chancellor\u2019s Prize for Classics \u2014G.A.Magor.The Principal\u2019s Prize hir Divinity\u2014 G.A.Magor.Bishop Ingham\u2019s Prize for Divinity \u2014W.J.Whitehead.The Headmaster\u2019s prize\u2014G.V.Whitehead.Prize for Greatest Service in the School\u2014H.A.Laurie.The Chairman\u2019s Prize for Science\u2014 G.A.Magor.Form V.Prize for Science\u2014V.L.BurrilL.Botany Prize\u2014A.S.M.Crummey.\u2019 G.C.Kay, Esq., Prize for Drawing \u2014H.Powel.Mrs.Heady R.M.C.Prize\u2014H.F.G.Greenwood.Prize for Music\u2014P.S.Chandler.Divinity Prizes\u2014Form V., M, F.A.Drury;

Provincial Officers should have im mediately been sent for, and started work last night.The room where the accident oc cured has been cleared up, and nothing of importance was found.It if possible, however, that an eye trained in this work might have discovered something that would throw light on the affair.It is the details that count in mysteries such as this one.A PATHETIC ACCIDENT.A rather pathetic scene took place, last evening, in connection with the inquest.An attendant brought in a basket containing everything found on the floor beside the body, and in fact everything of importance in the room.Coroner Bachand took out a thinly worn band of gold, which proved to be her wedding ring.Calling Mr.Bilodeau he handed the ring over to him for safe keeping.It war quite badly bent, and fell off when her left hand was blown to atoms.LARGE CROWDS VISITED RE MAINS.Hundreds of people visited the house where the fatality occurred, last evening, and viewed the remains, During the afternoon the body was embalmed, and was laid out in o room adjoining the one where she met her tragic end a few hours before.WAS ONE OF FIRST ON SCENE.Mr.T.T.Delisle informed the Record that he was standing several yards north of Sanborn Street on Wellington Street when the explosion took place.It was quite severe, and he immediately rushed back to find out the cause.When lie got to the house smoke was issuing from the room, and Mm Bilodeau was l>iug near the kitchen stove.The life was not quite extfbc\tere was a he arrived.In addition to the wounds on the body the face was badly burned as if by some acids.There was not a trace of any part of the package to be found in the place.The internal machine had done its part well.NITRO GLYCERINE NOT SOLD IN .SHERBROOKE.As far as can be learned nitro glycerine is not sold in Sherbrooke.It can be made, however, by taking ordinary glycerine and adding small portions at a time to a strong mixture of nitric acid and three or four parts of concentrated sulphuric acid at a temperature kept low by artificial refrigeration.This is a very dangerous undertaking, however, and could only be done by an expert.INQUIRIES AT THE POST OFFICE This morning the Record representative called at the Post Office and found that one of the clerks recollected having seen a parcel corresponding to the one delivered to Mrs.Bilodeau.He thought it passed through his hands either Monday night or early Tuesday morning.MAIL COLLECTOR DOES NOT REMEMBER IT.Mr.D.W.Armstrong, who collects the mail from all the city boxes, was asked this morning if he remembered picking up a package corresponding to the one sent to Mr.Bilodeau.He stated that in the course of a trip he gathers large numbers of packages, and consequently did not notice any one in particular.MISS BILODEAU\u2019S CONDITION.A telephone message from the hospital to-day noon stated that Miss Bilodeau spent rather a comfortable night.Her eyes are badly inflamed and there is a slight possibility that she may lose the sight of one eye.BOX WAS HARD TO OPEN.Miss Bilodeau told one of the sisters at the hospital that Mrs.Bilodeau had great difficulty in opening the box, as the cover was rather tightly fastened.SCION OF WARVTOK Marquis of Abergavenny Has Several Hjf, Claims to Prominence it'A small party of friends was entertained at Bridge Castle by the Marquis of Abergavenny and Lord and Lady Hpnry Nevill.The Marquis, one of the oldest peers, has a claim to prominence for several things.First he is a Nevill, and a descendant of \u201cWarwick the King-Maker\u201d; he holds the patronage of twenty-four Church livings, he owns property In about ieven counties, and is a founder of he famous Constitutional Club.Then he was at one time one of the greatest wirepullers in the Tory Party.Bridge ias been held by the Nlovills for nearly dx hundred years, and the house was >nce described as being to medlæval England what the Douglas was to Scotland.PHYSICIAN\u2019S CAREER Sir John Williams Had Own Row to Hoe His Sir John Williams, Bart., president of the National Library of Wales, who subscribed a further $5,000 to the building fund now being raised has had a career that reads almost like a romance.The son of a tenant farmer in the hills of South Wales, he had to make his own way in the world.His father was also independent minister to the local congregation, and this led young John to think also of the ministry as a calling.Soon, however, he turned his attention to medicine, took his M.D.degree at London University, and returned to his native Wales to ?o into practice.His ambition, however, took him back to London, and there he rose to be a recognized leader in his profession.He became physician to the Queen when Princess of Wales, and received bis baronetcy In 1894, after the birth of the Prince of Wales.Solway Firth Tragedy Two Annan fishermen, Robert and Samuel Woodhouse, after two days weatherbound, left Maryport for home.There was a strong wind and a heavy sea, and a mile out a big wave struck the boat and washed Samuel, the younger brother, overboard.He was drowned before his brother\u2019s eyes.Robert, although overwhelmed with jrlef at his brother\u2019s sudden death, and in deadly peril himself, managed single-handed to run the be ,t up the Solway and obtain safety in Silloth Harbor.The drowned man was only twenty-two.LIQUOR IN BRITAIN Licenses Shew a Steady Decline in Errand and Wales The latest statistics issued by the Home Office in regard to the operation and administration of the laws relating to the sale of Intoxicating liquors In England-and Wales provide some vary instruetive figures.Whether these figures go to prove Britishers are becoming a more sober nation or not readers can form their own opinions, with the plain, undiluted facts before them.- At the beginning of the last fiscal year there were in England and Wales Si,247 premises licensed for the sale: of alcoholic stimulants to be consumed on or oft such preml ses, and which are known as on-licenses.in addition, there were 24,115 premises licensed for the sale of such stimulants to be consumed off the premises, and which are referred to as off-Uceiices.These figures, it might be noted, give an average of about three licensed houses for each 1,000 of the population.One outstanding feature revealed by these statistics is that the number of licensed huuâas has for some years been steadily decreasing.The year's figures show a decrease of 1,237 in the on-liceuses ¦ and 323 in the off-licenses.Since \u20191895 the number of on-licenses has ^one down from 103,-341 to 91,247, i^ud during the same period the off-ildtenses have been reduced from 25,4tft to 24,115.In considering these reductions it is well to bear in mind I the increase in the population, over 4,000,000 during the period in questiod.,- -4-:- Echoes of Gfcat Disaster Sbnie idea of the value of jewellery alone which was lost in the Titanic disaster may be gathered from the following claims Tor compensation.Mrs.Charlotte Cardeza put in a claim for $175,000 to covet the loss to her wardrobe and personal effects.Her Inventory included n Burma ruby ring, $14,000; a pink diamond, $20,000; hab pins, $500; an evening coat, $380; and a white petticoat, $95.The Countess of Rothes asked $10,00./ for the loss of property, incliidlhg a diamond marquise ring worth $1,000, some old lace, and a set of block fox / nd ermine 1 furs.The smallest claim submitted.$¦45, was by the United\u2019 Statee Govern ment, the value of a mail W.- containing registered artieje» SPORTING NEWS BASEBALL International\u2014 Providence 7, Montreal 6.Newark 5, Toronto 1.Buffalo 4, Jersey City 2.Rochester 7, Baltimore 5.Rochester 6, Baltimore 3.National\u2014 New York 6, Cincinnati 2.Chicago 4, Philadelphia 0.Brooklyn 8, St.Louis 3.'

decided in July.Many a woman is gathering information to-day that will influence her selection of a stove two months hence.Many a man is thinking right now about the store he will patronize for his Fall suit and overcoat.j Many an October piano purchase is really determined on the pofeh of a summer hotel or home in August* : How unwise, then, to put off the Advertising of these and similar articles until the actual time of their use arrives.One advertisement seldom makes a sale.It is the repeated impressions created by Advertising that develops purchases by a discriminating public\u2014and these impressions are seldom built up in a day, a week or a month.Yet some manufacturers and merchants still procrastinate until the first nip of frost is felt\u2014-and then besiege

on the Earth For 24.000,OCO Years The question of the first appearance of living things is of perennial interest, although tantalisingly uncertain.Professor G.Frederick Wright, says \"Science Siftings,\u2019\u2019 has now estimated that life hus probably existed on the earth for 24,000,000 years, but that it cannot possibly have begun as long ago as 50,000,000 years.Man\u2019s antiquity cannot, be says, be less than 10,000 years, while it need not be more than 15,000.The evidence that man appeared in Tertiary time is regarded by our authority as very doubtful, and the Post-Tertiary age has been a relatively short period, while the known facts of human development can be amply accounted for by 8,000 years of time before the historic record began.ühiuüii hm Iht l\\LW mm\\ WIIHJUl BULL III SMALL HEMS Escape From Molten Ora Thomas Chappel, the driver of a locomotive near Newport had a re-markaple escape from being buried in molten slag.He was taking a wagon of hot slag to the tipping-ground, and was unable to shut off steam.The ladle and locomotive consequently ran over the end of the tip, and, after turning, fell a distance of about 60 feet.In falling the wagon broke away from the locomotive, and the driver was saved from being covered with hot slag.When the engine was near the bottom the driver was thrown out, but his only injuries were slight bruises on the head and body and some broken ribs.Two who were cn the engine jumped clear.Modern Senimentality Love of notoriety and the amount of public sympathy displayed for offenders are declared by Mr.W.J.Pringle, Chief

Du Maurier Bad some | smusfng things to say of the stage at the annual dinner of the Playgoers\u2019 Club, held at the Hotel Cecil.After all, he went on to say, it was the playgoer who created the fashions in drama.If the state of the playgoer were healthy, then surely must the drama be healthy too.He was con tinually hearing and reading of the new movement in drama, but, personally, he had been unable to detect it unless it were ragtime.But that was not new.It was merely a good melody marred, or a poor one gai vanised into life.The one-step was supposed to be a new movement in i dancing, and the success of it was that it need not be learned.Anybody could do it; in fact, ,ii was the i first thing a baby did when it could walk by itself.All these new dances such as the Bunny-hug and the Turkey-1 trot, were only forms Of tha oldest j dance in the world\u2014St.Vitus dance.As regarded the drama\u2014the successful drama, that was to say\u2014he could not see that it \\v£\\ changed much since the days of Shakespere.A good deal of fuss was made nowadays about producing, but it was very difficult to spoil a good play or make a bad one.If a stone were good, .what matter the setting The greatest service the producer could do the author was to let the play play itself\u2014that was to say, if the author knew his job.As a manager he believed in the play that was

therefore stomach sufferers should, whenever possible, avoid eating food that* is acid in its nature, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity.Unfortunately such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as well as th'ose which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve building properties.This is the reason why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are usually so tli'in, emaciated and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a well fed body.For tha benefit of those sufferers who have been; obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable existence on gluten products I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like, in moderate amount, taking immediately afterwards a half teaspoonful of Bisurated Magnesia in a little hot or cold water.\u2019 This will neutralize any acid which may be present, or which may be formed, and instead of the usual feeling of uneasiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly.Bisurat-ed Magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective - and antacid known.It is not a medicine and has no direct action mu the stdmaeh ; but by neutralizing tho acidity of the food contents, and thus removing the source cf the acid irritation which inflames the delicate stomaehi lining, it.does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine.As a' physician I believe in the use of medicine whenever necessary, but.I must admit that T cannot sec the sense of dosing an inflamed and irritated stomaehi with drugs instead of getting rid of tha acid\u2014the cause of all the trouble.Get little Bisurated Magnesia from your druggist, eat what you want at your next meal, take some of Hie Bisurated Magnesia as directed above, and see if I\u2019m not right.\" Kellogg\u2019s Covers Canada Ask the average woman this question\u2014What is the favorite cereal of Canadians?And she will reply: Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes &@u.\tfr / \\é Here now at .?JVH, OTHER NEW ONES\u2014 \u201cJoyce, of the North Woods,\u2019\u2019 \u201cThe Root of Evil,\u201d \u201cLove of the Wild,\u2019\u2019 \u201cThe Bolted Door,\u2019\u2019\t: \u201cThe Prodigal Judge,\u2019\u2019 50c.each' ;

June 18.\u2014(Special)\u2014M.D.Wallace, of St.Louis, Mo., chief owner of the Escanaba Veneer Mill Co.\u2019s works, and T.M.Judscn, of Escanaba, Mich., General Manager of this firm, were in Sutton to look over the ruins of the veneer mill plant and to consult with Mr.S.R.Morse, the local manager here.They also had a hearing with the Mayor\" of the town and village, and the Councillors at the Town Hall.From what can be gleaned it seems almost certain that the burned veneer mill will not he rebuilt here.The local manager has been instructed to pick up and load all the scrap liron from the ruins, and this is no small task, preparatory to its sale.This, with the various other things in connec-' tion with the works here, will keep Mr.Morse here for a few weeks longer.It is but right to say that Mr.Morse has won a host of friends during his stay here and the prospects of his going in a few weeks is deeply regretted by all.It has been arranged that an expert inspector came here shortly to examine the big engine and boilers and to ascertain to what extent they may have been damaged by the fire.It is thought by some that they may have been injured but little.It is also understood that the insurance which was about $50,000, has all been settled.Adjustors Parker and another man from Montreal were here to report on damages to the companies carrying the insurance.In regard to an adjustment between the town and Corporation and the Veneer Co.there seems to be a difference.The Company, it is understood, offered in settlement $1,750 and the grounds in connection, while the two Councils asked for $3,500.and the grounds, and W)ere it is reported the matter stands for later adjustment.While notia word has been dropped to that effect your correspondent has good reason to believe that should the company decide to rebuild that the place of location would be near Glen Sutton, in the vicinity of the Escanaba siding, which is about two miles east of Glen Sutton village.The big item of hauling the logs from that point by train would thus he got around while other reasons seem to favor that idea, not the least of which is that the Escanaba Co.\u2019s hardwood timber is nearly all in that section, and could the logs he hauled from the woods direct to tira mill a big saving in expense would he effected.It, however, remains, for the future to reveal what will \u2019 he the outcome of the company\u2019s deliberations.-4- LOUD.Hicks\u2014What do you think of this Cu-hist necktie ?Bought it over in Uc-.v York.Wicks\u2014Gosh \u2019 I thought they had a law
