York, were loud in their praises of the seamanship displayed by Captain Roberts.A testimonial, signed by all but three or four passengers, was given to Captain Roberts today.\u2022SIMILAR TO EMPRESS OF IRELAND DISASTER Strikingly similar in all but disastrous results were the Pretoria-New York and Empress of Ireland-Storstad collisions.Both accidents lhappened in fog; both came although the

SHERBROOKE BY SPECIAL TRAINS.The offirers, non-coms, and mem of the No.6 Co.Army Service Corps and No.VI Cavalry Field Ambulance loft by special train yesterday afternoon over the C.P.R.for Petewawa .dor their annual twelve days training in camp.Each corps comprised fifty men with their full complement of horses.Major Williams commands the Am-Ibulance unit and Major J.B.Keat-dng is in charge of the Amy Service Corps.The men had a good send off from hundreds of friends on the platform.The weather was beautifully fine, the soldiers were in high spirits, and as the train pulled out at 4-10 they shouted\"We\u2019re off to Mexico.\" EXCITING CHASE AFTER THIEF Safe of Sherbrooke Hotel Proprietor Robbed in Broad Day-Light on Saturday ALL ATTEMPTS AT CAPTURE HAVE PROVED FUTILE\u2014RACE BETWEEN TRAIN AND AUTO.Mr.H.J.Weyland, the proprietor of the Montreal House, was robbed of a sum of money amounting to about $45 by a mysterious stranger on Saturday afternoon.The thief has so far eluded all attempts at Cfipt Ill'S \u2022 The facts of the case as related by Mr.Weyland to a representative of the \"Record\u201d this morning are as follows:\u2014 An unknown man went into the bar on Saturday afternoon shortly before five o\u2019clock and ordered a glass of beer.He afterwards was seen going through the hotel office and a few moments later Mr.Weyland discovered him in hit private office behind the general office.He was standing in front of the open safe and on being asked for an explanation of his presjnee said: \u2018I am looking for some papers.\u2019 The telephone hell in the next room rang and Mr.Weyland thinking his visitor could not get away went to answer it.As he took up the receiver the man, evidently thinking the police were being communicated with, rushed past him Rlth a bundle of hills io his hand and dashed over to the Union Station where the 5 o\u2019clock B.& M.train was just pulling out.Mr.Weyland followed in quick pursuit, hut the individual hoarded the train from the off side, while the victim was left behind.At this juncture, Dr.Williams passed in his auto and seeing Mr.Weyland was in an agitated condition inquired the cause.On being informed he invited him into his car, saylqg, \u2019We will beat him at Len-noxville.\u2019 The auto went at full speed towards the neighboring town and reached Lennoxvil'e two or three minutes ahead of the train.When she pulled in Mr.Wey.and entered the cars but failed to find his quarry.Enquiries from a brakeman elicited the information that a man had left the train on the offside and was running in the direction of Capelton.Dr.Williams and Mr.Weyland jumped in their car and went as far as Comstock bridge but were unsuccessful.The news had quickly spread through the district and on returning to Lennoxville they visited Constable Dundin.While there a telephone message came saying the man had been caught at Colby\u2019s barn hut on arriving there the man was nowhere in sight.Subsequent inquiries have proved that the thief did visit Colby\u2019s barn, evidently to hide, and that he left it soon after entering and sprinted down the C.P.R.track.It is supposed he saw Mr.Weyland in the car, and while the latter was ssarching the B.& M.line he made good his escape down the other rails.Up to the time of going to press the thief had not been located.OUTRAGE llT FAMOUS CHURCH Militants Held Responsible For Bomb Explosion St.George\u2019s Church, London DESECRATION OF THIS EDIFICE HAS INCREASED ALARM AS TO HOW FAR MILITANTS WILL GO.London, Juno 15.\u2014A bomb was emploded in St.George's Church, Hanover Square, last night.There is evidence to show that the explosion was the work of suffragettes, and, coming so close upon the bomb outrage in Westminster Abbey, the desecration of this famous edifice has increased alarm as to how far the militant women intend to go.The caretaker of St.George's had locked the church after a careful inspection on the conclusion of the evening service.A few minutes after ten o'clock a passer-by heard an explosion and summoned the fire brigade.The firemen forcing the doors found the church filled with a dense white smoke.Three pews in the north aisle and three stained glass windows were damaged by the explosion, while a pew in front of the lectern was blown down.Fortunately, the famous painting of \"The Last Supper,\u201d by Sir James Thornhill, which hangs over the altar, was not damaged, although the window above it was splintered.ROYAL VISIT ON THURSDAY Duke and Duchess of Connaught Will Reach City at 10.30 in Forenoon

Stayed Home BEFORE you leave for your summer vacation, you order your favorite daily newspaper sent on to your vacation address.And having had it sent on, do you not, watch for its daily arrival

There is much in them to interest, advise and help.The shrewd manufacturer, nowadays, realizes that it is wise to continue advertising his wares all the year round.He advertises all through the summer\u2014partly to keep his goods before the numerous people who take no vacation and are thus possible customers every day throughout the year; partly to reach those who are away at summer resorts, but who will he home again in a few weeks ready and eager to buy his goods.In his advertisements there is for Mrs.Brown, at the summer resort, just as interesting news of merchandise as for Mrs.Jones, who stayed at home.When Mrs.Brown comes home she will find a lot of new things needed for her home and her family.And she should have her mind already made up as to the kind of things she will select.Your daily paper, read on the porch of a summer cottage, will aid you in this\u2014through its vitally interesting advertising columns\u2014just as much as if you had stayed home and were reading it there.So read the ads, Mrs.Brown\u2014even If you are away.You can obtain helpful advice on advertising free of and without obligation by consulting the Business De-Dartment of The Record.5961 ^ 8212 TWO SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, MONDAY, JUNE ï5, 1914- July Patterns\t\tChildren\u2019s Hats f and Fashion\t\tA Big Sale To= Books Ready\tSPECIAL TUESDAY BARGAIN NEWS\tmorrow at \t136-138 Wellington St.\tMonday.June 15th, 1914 ^ Store Closes at Six Tonight\t25c each.To-morrow, Tuesday, the Day of Big Doings and Saving Prices at McKechnie\u2019s Ready-to-Wear Items WHITE WAISTS 49c Ten dozen Ladies\u2019 White Waists\u2014Lingerie styles, Values 75c, 90c, $1.00 and .49c of Special Interest for To-morrow various patterns and makes.$1.25.Big Tuesday Sale LADIES\u2019 COTTON SUITS This is a clearing line left over from last season.Duck quality, colors, white or tan\u2014Suit consists of coat and skirt.Were $5.00 to $6.50.\tO QC Big Tuesday Sale.Home Dresses 98c Another five dozen of these special $1.25 House Dresses on sale QjQp To-morrow at .ïTOL/ Nurse Aprons 40c A big White Indian Head Cotton Apron, with bib and deep hem.50c.value, To-morrow\t.tTV/v> Black Silk Coats For elderly ladies, dressy.$10,\t912.50, ahd *20.Something $15,\t$16.30 Reduced Prices on LADIES' COATS, LADIES' COSTUMES, GIRLS' COATS.MISSES' COATS.Dadies\u2019 Afternoon Dresses Pretty styles, all new.in irom New York.Assorted colors and designs, in sizes 32 to 42 bust.Worth, in the regular way, $2.50.\tQ\u2014 To-morrow\u2019s Big Sale .tD.L.CAJ Waterproofs for Ladies A nice $5.00 line.\t'Q.a To-morrow at .«DO'stAJ Ladies\u2019 Dress Skirts Choose irom our big $4.50 and $5.00 Hnee.\tÜJO QÛ To-morrow at .Outing Skirts 98c In lawn or bluet Cotton Duck.Fast washing colors, tailored style.$1.25 value.\tQ&n Sale price .Motor or Duster Goats $3.90 In natural and lawn colors, Duck and Linen qualities, suitable for driving, travelling or motoring.$4.50 and $5.00 lines.\tiQA Clearing To-morrow at .tvO'.îAJ Overall Aprons 05c Made ol fine American Gingham, in fast colors.Good big sizes, to put on over the good dress.A 75c.line.Petticoats 98c Mercerized quality, In Paddy, cerise, royal blue, royal purple and stripe Patterns ;

scarcer this summer and fall than they have been for many years.Feeders experienced a good deal of difficulty last autumn in purchasing enough cattle at a reasonable price to place in their stalls, but, judging from the few cattle in the country and the increased demand for stock-ers on the markets ; they are growing scarcer week after week.Of course, the market will have its ups and downs, as some weeks larger numbers will be offered than on others., but if we mistake not those who buy their cattle fairly early in the season will this year, as they did in 1913, save money.The demand for this class of cattle is almost insatiable, and anything to which the name stocker or feeder is attached sells for well up to the price paid for the finished article.There seems to be a good future for the man who raises stocker and feeder cattle to be finished on his own farm, but he should not allow a keen demand to lead him to believe that a poor class of stock will pay.He may be able to sell it, but the greatest profits come from the good stock.-4-\u2014 BEACHEY IS LUCKY AGAIN.Hartford, Conn., June 15.\u2014 Lincoln Beachey, the aviator, while preparing to make a flight at a local park, fell

just as he was about to take a train for Montreal.The young man, who is only 18 years of age, was charged with the theft of $100 belonging to Mrs.Meslasam, of Stanbury.It appears that young Hewitt was employed by Mr.Pendleberry, and Mrs.Meslasam, his daughter, from Roxton, was there on a visit.She put the $100 in a bureau drawer and did not miss the money until yesterday afternoon.She then notified High Constable Boisvert, who arrived shortly afterwards.It was found that young Hewitt had disappeared, and the High Constable followed to Farnham.With the chief of police there a search was made for him, and their efforts were rewarded when they located him at the C.P.R.station.He had a ticket for Montreal on his person.On being searched, $97 of the stolen money was recovered.Earlier in the afternoon Hewitt approached Mr.Potvin and tried to hire an automobile, but his request was not granted.REMANDED FOR TRIAL.Hewitt appeared before Mr.Fair-field, J.P., this forenoon for preliminary hearing, and was remanded until June 22, when he will appear before Judge Mulvena.Hewitt says he belongs to Preston, Ont.EDUCATION IN RURAL SCHOOLS Aim of Quebec Government is to Improve Conditions,

INDIVIDUALLY BRILLIANT PLAY.New York, June 13\u2014 The history of sport is fillee wit! surprises.Yet it is doubtful if the records contain any such surprise as the reversal of form shown by the American polo team in their first game in which it met the challengers from Great Britain at the grounds of the Meadow Brook Club Saturday afternoon.Coming here as a much-heralded \u201cforlorn hope,\u201d the British team defeated the Americans in a game in which the invaders made ten goals to four for the defenders, safeties and penalties making the final score 8Js to 3 in favor of the visitors.It was a triumph of magnificient team-work and individually brilliant play.The American team was outplayed at every point of the game.Both offensively and defensively the British players showes superiority from the opening to the close, 'and there were but flickerings of the ag-gresively brilliant work that three-quarters of the same team showed in both the 1911 and 1913 contests.The Americans were as a team without a leader; like a disorganized quartet.The body was there, but ; the brains seemed missing.No one of the players had the quality of leadership, and what had been a per-: ect machine in years past seemed at times only fit for the junk heap, so erratic and disconnected was its 1 movement.\t( , Milan i f CELEBRATED IfTiAN Cigarettes BULM FOR i5< CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS WILL GO LONG WAY TO BRING ABOUT BETTER RESULTS IN THE COUNTRY.At the closing exercises of the graduates of Macdonald College School for Teachers, Hon.P.S.G.Mackenzie, provincial treasurer, in the course of an address, dwelt at some length on rural education in the Province of Quebec.He said : \"A great change has taken place in the last half century, both in Canada and the United States, in the relative proportion of rural population to that of cities and towns.Now, slightly more than half the population of the United States and slightly less than half the population of Canada live in the cities and towns.Forty years ago three-fourths of the people lived in the country.The causes which have led to this change are mostly economic, among which we may note that of labor-saving machinery for the farms.But it is a disproportion which should not be continued.It is one that should be arrested, if possible, by all wise and legitimate means.\u201cWhether as cause or consequence\u2014 most probably both\u2014we may note in the last fifty years that education has made far greater progress, everywhere on this continent, in towns and cities, than it has in the country.As a result we see the great opportunities in life which are afforded to the youth who has had the advantage of that thorough and scientific training which the great educational institutions of the larger centres afford.\u201cThe time has come, however, to give to the youths of the country\u2014 I the boys and girls of the farm\u2014an i equal opportunity by placing at their ; command the kind of schools which I will afford them as sound, as scien-: tific and as thorough an education for the work of modern farming, as is given to the engineer, the physi-; cian and the chemist.KEEPING TO FOREFRONT, i \u201cIt is this great problem which the Government of the province has been keeping to the forefront for some years\u2014to make the rural schools really effective in reaching the true ends for which they exist.\u201cAnd it is manifest that these efforts are now beginning to bear the expected fruit.The first duty of all was to see to it that better salaries were paid to the teachers\u2014salaries which would both attract and hold the competent teachers.The large grants paid to the rural school boards in recent years are now showing good results.The salaries in ! general may not yet have reached I what we hope they will reach, but In hundreds of municipalities they are 'now nearly double what they were : five or six years ago.This is particularly true of the Eastern Townships, and hand in hand with this increase there has been a greatly increased percentage of qualified teachers employed.The Government felt from the outset that no permanent 1 improvement in the quality of the rural schools could be hoped for until living salaries were paid to the teachers, and we now seem to be in a fair way of realizing this fundamental principle.Some further effort, it is true, is needed upon the part of the school boards.The salary increases should be somewhat more than the increase in the Gov-¦ ernment grants.The taxpayer still has his duty to perform in this matter, in many municipalities.SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.\u201cThen the Government has also decided to aid the consolidation of the Protestant rural schools.It is our schools\u2014many of them with but 1 a handful of pupils\u2014which most need the application of this modern prin-;ciple.It is encouraging to observe, also, that consolidation Is now meeting with a great deal of favor in a number of municipalities.It is recognized as the one means of providing just that kind of education\u2014 that modern, scientific education\u2014 which is needed in the rural schools, and which Macdonald College is doing so much to promote.\u201cIt is upon the spread, the diffusion, of sound knowledge that the economic development of our Province must depend.We have vast resources, and if we will truly develop and truly conserve them, for these two terms are really the same\u2014we shall do all that is In our power to make our schools, large and small, truly great and effective for the ends that they should serve.\u201d BOARD OF TRADE AHARNHAM Government Will be Petitioned For More Protection to the Retail Merchants ASK THAT THE LAW IN CONNECTION WITH PEDDLERS\u2019 LICENSES BE AMENDED
