famine, which started on Christmas Day.was ended tonight when the city\u2019s pumps were set in motion forcing millions of gallons of fluid into the mains leading to the famine Wgtricken district.|.After repeated .ests of the repaired eonduit and a consultation among the engineers, the gateway at the intake in the St.Lawrence River was opened at 6:45 o'clock tonight.At 8:10 the water reached the suction well at Point St.Charles and at 8:36 the pumps were started, forcing the water direct into the city mains The famine stricken district embraced what is known as the second level of the city, and it was not until ten o'clock that a dribbling stream began lo flow.from the taps.At 11:45 o'clock, six of the seven city Pumps were in motion and the water at that hour had reached the bigh- est point or the siricken district.While the rejpaired joints of the conduit were leaking alightiy at midnight, the engineers in charge of the work expressed the-opinion that ote was ne-denger

appears in the usually staid columns of this week's Canada Gazette.It is detailed in the form of an order-in- council exempting from the customary homestead duties Mrs, Anna A.Haven, now Mrs.Orfensen, a Saskatchewan settler.The order giving the harrowing details of domestic trouble in the Orfersen family states that the home- - stead was located in April, 1911, and that the wife remained there until the following November, making meanwhile certain statutory impart.meats.Some months ago Mrs.Orfensen was deserted by her husband and \u2018left penniless with one child.Last winter with both feet badly frozen she was admitted to the Moose Jaw Hospital, suffering from expos ure.The inspector of homesteads, in this connection, reports that the wo ' man vas put ont of her home at night and lay ia the open, After being taken to \u2018the hospital it was necessary to amputatee both her feet and by popular subscription enough money was rais:d to buy her artificial ones.In view of the circumstances the government has passed an order-in- souncil allowing the unfortunate woman, who is unable to live on her homestead, to .ecain possession of it without fulfilling the customary duties attaching to it.NO PUNITIVE FORCE ; AGAINST MAD MULLAH London, Jan.2.-~The Colonial Office denies that a punitive expedition has been sent against the Mad Mullah and declares that the report that such

his discovery of a germ which is believed to be the cause nf scarlet fever, were told to the Society of American Bacterivlogists by Dr.Newell S.Ferry, of Detroit, at tire closing session of the society's convention at McGiil University today.Dr.Perry's discovery is considered of the greatest importance, for, should it prove entirely satisfactory, as is expected, the result will be the practical elimination of the discase.In the course of his paper on the \u201cstudy of the bacteriology of the posterior nasopharynx in scarlatina,\u201d Dr.Ferry stated that he bad found a germ which he believed to be cause of the disease.In the Contagious Disease Hospital at Detroit, Dr.Ferry had treated immunising the nurses and for three years there was nt a case of the d:s- case among them so treated.The immunising was then discontinued for a space of three months when several ourses contracted scarlet fever.Dr.Ferry before closing offered conference for further tests, \u2018to hég cholera which \u201ccauses 2\u201clofé of aboik $1,000000 annciitly im the United States, while Canadian farmers also suffer a heavy loss.He suis which he believes to be the cause of the disease.Should this on further investigation prove correct it will give adequate means for preventing hog cholera.- Dr.F.W.Schofield, of Toronto, presented a paper which was a preliminary communication on the etio- Jogy of pyeamic arthritis in colts, In certain districts where a number of horses were bred the colts became affected with an inflammation of the knee joints which ofter resulted in death, and Dr, Schofield has done much in working out methods to eradicate the discase.THE ALSACE TROUBLE.Saverne Paper Prints Detailed Charges of Cruelty.Zabern, Alsace, Germany, Jan.2\u2014A local newspaper, the Anzeiger, today, prints detailed charges of abuse of soldiers and civilians by Lieut.Baron Von Forstner, Lieut, Boittge and Sergeant Hoeflich of the 99th Regiment.Captain Von Kistowsky of the same regiment also is accused by the Anzeiger of insulting and permitting insults to private soldiers.Lieut.Baron Von Forstner, who was responsible for the series of rioting and other disorders in Zabern recently because insulting remarks regarding i Alsatian citizens he addressed to the recruits of his company, was sentenced December 19th to 43 days\u2019 imprison ment after trial by court martial.MOVIE CENSORSHIP.Toronto, Jan.2\u2014Pending the addition of revised rules \u2018for the censorship of moving picture films, a cireular is being sent by R.C.Newman, inspector of moving picture theatres, advising chiefs of police that it will not be necessary to have the censor slip shown upon the screen, Tricks that have heen played upon the Board of Censors, whereby unauthorized films have been shown as \u201ccensored\u201d have influenced the Board of Censors, to devise 8 new scheme for marking films which will insure à guarantee of proper censorship and yet no mutilate the films.The

FANTASTICALLY DISGUISED AND IN POSSESSION OF TWO REVOLVERS.San Francisco, Cal, Jan.2\u2014Good luck at « critical time and a stout heart saved Captain Renier, of the steamship Willamette from beirg shot last Wednesday night at sea by a fantastically disguised pirate, who planned to rob the ship\u2019s safe of the $1,500 it contained, clean out the twenty-five passengers of cash and valushles and escape in a launch that was following the vessel .: The Willamette arrived this morning, and Captain Renier, Lis hands badly torn and cut from his Sight with the pirate, told his story.A.4, Nelson, the pirate, and Joe Lorain, suspected of being 8 confederate, were turned over to the United States marshal.\u201cAbout 7 o'clock Tuesday night\u201d said the captain, \u201cI was sitt'ng in my cabin.We were then off Cape Vincent, about mid-way betv#«en San Pedro and Redondo.\u201cI heard the knob of my door turn and I found myself confrorted by a strange figure in à white mask, wearing a false moustache and a vig.The lower half of the man\u2018s face was swathed in a handkerchief.In his right hand was a pistol.\u201c] jumped for the weapon, and for some reason I shall never be able to give you, I got hold of it before the fellow could crook his trigger finger.\u201cThen we began fighting arotnd the roont.All the while the man was pulling the trigger of his automatic, but my clutch on it in some way had disarranged the ine, \u201cThe pirate threw the pisto! on the floor and with one free hand he drew another wexpon, this time a double action revolver.\u201cI was shouting for help anl a waiter and a seaman chme to my _rescue, disarmed Nelson and put lim in irons\u201d During the progress of the _ (ght, sorne , 3 captain believes the pirate expected to \u2018escape to shore in the lsanch after he had gone through the ship Nelson, who is a former ship mas \u2018ter, and Arctic trader, was held in $10,000 bail, as was Joseph Laramie, a bricklayer, from Indiana, who was on guard outside Captain Reiners cabin when Nelson attacked the skip~ per, A member's card in the Masters, Mates and Pilots Association of the Pacific, California Harbor No.15, found in Nelson's pockets, was the clue that led to his past history.Although admitting his identity and history of seafaring, Nelson says he is a private detective, and that he took passage on the Willamette to arrest Captain Reiner, for whom a reward of $10,000 had been offered.Of course, the reward is mythical and the many crimes, none of them specified, which Nelson said the captain had committed are unknown to the police.Nelson in 1907 acquired the schooner Hera at Tacoma, and went trading along the coast of Alaska.The Hera was wrecked but Nelson will not tell when or where, AD CLUB DISCOURAGES FRAUDULENT ADVERTISING Toronto, Jan, 2\u2014The Toronto Ad Club is taking steps to discourage fraudulent advertising.A committee has been appointed to carry on tre campaign and an office has been opened where investigation will be made into any complaint by a purchaser through an advertisement that the goods received are not as set forth in the advertisement, The committee will assist the complainant either in getting proper goods or his money back.Where this cannot be done the club intends to prosecute.TORONTO SKIPPER WANTS SILX HAT ALREADY.Toronto, Jan.2\u2014Captain \u201cSandy\u201d Irving of the steamer Dundum, has {aid claim to the silg hat given each year by the Harbor Commission to the eaptain of the first vessel enter- Ing the harbor.Captain Irving sailed in on New Year's Day, bringing his boat from St.Catharines to lay ft up here.Local mariners claim that Captain Irving is not entitled to that because he came in between sea sons and not the first of the season.The Harbor Commission will consider the matter, but it is likely to decide that the enterprising skipper arrived too early.FRENCHMAN LOOPS LOOP WITH WOMAN PASSENGER, Hendon, Eng, Jan.2-Gustave Hamel, for the

arrival of mot¢ ammunition.The ammunition is on the way from Chihuahua, The almost impregnable position of the 4000 federals, entrenched in the heights of the village from: which they command a sweeping range on the advancing rebels, enabled them to hold out against superior numbers.Each time the rebels charged they were compelled to fall back.Though they were flankéd on three sides and the United States border patrol had prepared for a possible retreat of their whole army to American territory, the federals fought persistently.It appeared that General Ortega\u2019s rebels were drawing the federal fire merely to exhaust it.The plan of driving out the federal force by skirmishing would be in line with the usual guerilla tactics of the rebels, who seldom make aggressive charges.So far the losses have been heaviest on the rebel side.due to the federal superior range.Federal deserters reported that they had fewer than one hundred killed, with an unknown aumber of wounded, while the rebel losses would exceed that number.No Americans were permitted to cross the river, and anything like an accurate estimate was lacking.Few federal deserters attempted to reach the American side today.The wounded \u201cwere cared for by the Rud Cross.Dr, C.F.Braden, the Red Cross agent, resorted that he had sixty wounded in the Mission Church.He telegraphed to El Paso that he thodgh the present medical force was sufficient.VISCOUNT STEALS FRENCH NOBLEMAN AND EX.OFFICER WANTS FOOD AND SHELTER FROM COLD.Paris, Jan.2\u2014Viscount Charles Enguerrand De Marigny, scion of an old French

be given food and shelter from the bitter cold.The Viscount\u2019s father once was very wealthy but lost his all in a bank failure.Viscount De Marigny served with the French cavalry forces in the Morocco campaign and was awarded & medal.Recently Ne was discharged from the army, his term of service having expired.He spent all his savings, he said, while vainly seeking employment.The police

e age that the above news item have the effect of spurring on he poeple of Quebec and their re- sressatatives to bring nearer the day when 8 similar plant will be erected at Lauzon in connection with the large Government dry: dock which is to be built there hy the Davis firm, When Premier Borden was here last October he intimated pretty plainly _ that the dry dock would in all prob- \u201c \" ability be the forerunmer of a great shipbuilding industry.Since then there have been rumors concerning } pegotiations with various old country firms which might be induced to establish a brangh here.So far.heiw- Aso% but little seems to have been {dome and the time seems ripe for the matter to be taken up more thor- * oughly.It is no good for us to wait for these things to come to us, If we want them, we must get out after them.\"CANADA AND THE PANAMA CANAL.Both the Canadian Parliament and the American Congress will con- vence very shortly and their pro- \u201cgramme of legislation will contain business of mutual interest.The recent tariff changes in the United States will undoubtediy afford a basis for some interesting discussions in Canada's Parliament and may serve ts emphasize the attitude of the par- tres toward tariff reform.In the American Congress one of the big measures of interest to this country will be that affecting the settlement of the vexed question of the FPeagtna Canal toils.lt will be remembered that this wattde was brought to the front abogt à year agé and quickly became a question of international interest.Thes far President Wilson has never publicly stated his vicws on the sub.fect and it has been a belief that the endéen way in which other countries dropped their protests was due to hie imtimation that he desired time to leok into the question.Originally Congress included in the | @ Pasema Canal bill a provision that Americas coastwise shipping should be exempted from the tolls required for gassing through the canal.This brought immediate and vigorous protests from England, Germany and other countries.who saw in it a violation of treaty rights.Despite these protests the provision was agreed to, the stand taken being that a» the United States had expended $5,000,000 on the canal that it should tveeive some special consideration in its operation.This bill was signed by President Taft, but.of course, pending the completion of the canal, bas not been exercised.Now, there is a resolution before the House of Representatives provid- jag for a susp-asion of the exemption pevision for two years, The advocates of this resolution hold that its .effect can be determined during the # period indicated and that the end of that time will be soon enough for permanent legislation.The progress of the question has boom watched with care by the State Department at Ottawa.Canada\u2019s Pacific interests make the question of camal tolls of importance and through the British Ambassador at Washingseu the representations of this coun- wy have been propesly set forth thus for, CONCERNING EGGS There is general complaint of the mareit\"ané dearness of eggs in this county.Yet the production has grestly increased in the last ten years, secording to a bulletin issued by the Dominion Department of Agriculture.The census returns show that the people are esting more egg thea ever before\u201417.99 dozens per cagits im 1911 against 13.72 dozens per copits in 1901\u2014and that Canadian hems ald 128,002,132 dozens in 1911 agalast 84.134602 dosens ten years before.The average ben, however, not doing her duty so well in a 1901, her production having trom 308 dozen to 4.83 dozens, A notable feature ie the fact that while Canada exported 11,063,084 dosess in 1901 and imported only 92,368 doeens, she exported in 1911 92000 dosens and imported 2- dosens.ns Be sitmetion hoe be À: me Tl, cw ta 5 only 126,454 dosens and we imported 13240000 dosens.It is a reproach te this great agricultural country that it does not supply Îts own demand for a staple like eggs.Every farmer, says the Department Bulletin, should keep at least 100 hens.The amount of labor entailed is not great, and, with reasomsble success, the revenue in proportion to capital invested is grester and more readily available than from any other braach of fapm work A CHANCE FOR HIM.The Liberal party of Canada hus discovered that thé cost of living is high.Confronted with an cconomic condition which they do not understand, they are sceking to use it 3s a | political issue.At the Montreal ban- | Quet when Sir Wilfrid Lautier publicly patched wp his peace with Hon.|w.8.Fielding.the cost of living was Fielding, de- much discussed, Mrmons, is permitted to become an apologist for the Opposition as editor of the Liberal or in Montreal As such he will have muck to say about the cost of lividg, \u201cLet Mr.Fielding,\u201d says the 8yd- rey Post, \u201cchoose as his circle of readers those hundreds of Ontario farmers whose savings of à lifetime were stolen fram them io the wrecking of the Farmers\u2019 Bank.Those men feel the pinch of the high cost of living.They were men of means and were ruined by the crooked work which had begun before Mr.Fielding issued the certificate under which the bank was authorized \u2018o do business, crooked work of which he as Minister of Finance was warned not once or twice but four and five times.The Farmers Bank scandal lies at the door of the ex-Minister of Finance who now writes about the high cost of living\u201d The shareholders and depositors in the Farmers\u2019 Bank, primarily through the action of Mr.Fielding in the issue of the certificate before the terms of the Bank Act had been complied with, were brought face to face, not with the high cost of living, but with the problem of living at all.A million dollars and more, vanished from the individually slender resources of these men.The increased cost of living finds them that much poorer.To them the cost of living is that much higher than it is to others.Here is a fine field for editor Fielding\u2019s efforts, He will advise them that what they need is food free from customs duties.The Borden Government is going to recoup them in part at least for what they lost through the indifference of the Laurier Government.CRAGIN IOCARBIOATDN à a ° PRESS COMMENT.» 0 L2-2-2-2-2-2-X-3-3-3-F-%-3-1-1] A clergyman went to pay a visit to an old Yorkshire yeoman.whi was lying on his death-bed, After a few preliminary words, the worthy minister said that, if the veterae had anything on his mind, he hoped he would case his conscience and confide it to his pastoral ear, so that he might die in peace.\u201cWell, sir,\u201d answered the old sportsman, \u201cif I only had to live my life over again, 1'd fish more with bait and less with flies.\u201d \u2014London Sphere.The governments of Alberta and Saskatchewan do not appear to be always disc-eet, to put it mildly, in selecting men to perform various public duties.À few months ago the farmers in the southern part of Sas- Katchewan made a complaint that herds of wild horses were running about, not omly doing considerable damage to crops, but likewise luring away domesticated beasts, The Scott government decided to come to the rescue and accordingly despatched several men to the district mentioned for the purpose of exterminating the herds.The adventurers faced forth and for a time managed to capture a few of the outlaws.Presently, however, farmers \u2018 commenced missing stock and suspicion was created that the Scott rangers were devoting more of their attention to trained herds than to the wild ones of which the farmers complained, They have been placed under arrest, and the developments will be watched with interest.\u2014 Medicine Hat Times, The story comes from Detwiller, a village not far from Zabern, where all the incidents that have been in danger of upsetting the German Empire have been tshing place of late.A pensant possessed a magnificent white cock with a noble crimson crest.To carry out à tolor scheme fancied by the owner, he dyed its tall a beautiful Live, The presence of this tricolor cock in the village soon came to the knowledge of the authorities, who ordered the peasant to kill the pride of his barnyard within twenty-four hours, The peasant replied that i his cock chose to dabble its tall in » pe

Management of William H.Harder.Next week at the Auditorium marks the red letter event of the season in this city.Billy Allen and his Company of musical comedians will hold down the boards.In other cities they have proven great big favorites, and they will doubtless prove the same here.The gitls are pretty, and elegantly gowned They have good voices and put that dash and vim in their work that instantly makes them popular idols with the audience.The scenic effects are up to the times, and painted by competent artists.The comedy is clean cut and wholesome, and songs are new, the electrical effects are impressive, and on the whole the people of Quebec have a great big treat in store for them next week.When a firm as well known as Myrkle and Harder offer an attraction for the public entertainment, that same pub- tic knows that they are to secure the best in that particular line.These gentlemen have been catering to the people for years and they have never broken faith with the public.In the Billy Allen Musical Comedy Company that comes to this city for six nights and two matinecs, Myrkle and Harder have secured the best show of its kind in the country.From every newspaper of the large cities of the West is heard nothing but praise of this organization, and theatre managers unite in endorsing it as the cleanest, funniest musical comedy company that has played their houses in years.Popu- lar prices will prevail during the en- That the fifty years or so that have passed since the theory of evolution which Darwin first attempted to prove have done little to challenge the truth of his doctrine appears to be the general opinion of the writers, scientific and otherwise, who have commented upon the death of Dr.Al fred Russell Wallace.That Wallace and Darwin independently hit upon the same theory about the same time is well known to everybody.Indeedthough it happened to be Darwin's name that will forever be associted with the theory of evolution, Darwin admitted that Wallace was equally entitled to credit.Nor on the part of Wallace was there any jealousy.He did not feel that he had been forestalled, but was free to admit that Darwin's superior botanist and naturalist entitled him to write the epoch-making hook that presented the theory to the world.This was \u201cThe Origin of Species.\u201d Weissman Dissents.When the doctrine of evolution was first expounded by Darwin, Spencer, Huxley, Tyndall and \\Wallace its antagonists were for the most part inspired by the belief that the scientists were attacking religion.The argument for some ycars was an argument between the scientists and those who sought to defend orthodox Christiainty.As might be imagined.the contest was an unequal one, the scientists winning all along the line, though they were denounced from a thousand pulpits.Then another school of science in oposition to the Darwin school slowly developed.It originated in Germaay, and its most renowned champion was Weissmanwith whom Herbert Spencer conducted a notable debate, Weissman did not challenge the general theory of evolution, but he combatted atrong- ly Darwin's ideas as to how it worked out.Later on other scienitsts contributed to the fund of knowledge, some bringing new evidence in support of Darwin and his friends, and some testifying on behalf of Weiss man.It is to be said, However, that the vast majority of scientists today accept the writings of Darwin, Spencer and Huxley as the orthodox accept the writings of St.Paul.Fifty years have served but to establish their authority The Old Idea of Species.In justice to the pioneers before Darwin and Wallace it ought to be said that the theory of evolution was not discovered by the Victorians.It was many hundreds of years old, and Lamarck, for instance, had done yeoman service in attempting to show the people of France that the theory accébnted for the mysteries of Crem tion, Probably he would have convinced the: scientific world had it not heen for the opposition of Cuvier, one of the world\u2019s greatest naturalists.Cuvier, however, oposed Lamarck, and at the time the fame of Cuvier was the greater.What Darwin did was not te set forth a theory.Te was to prove its truth.When \u201cThe Origin of Species\u201d appeared the general supposition was that as species were to- Evolution Stands knowledge as a\u2019 gagement.The Jist of

the ancestors of both Shelands and Clydesdales was considered scarcely - less irreligious than the heresy that there was no Ark at all.Factors in Evolution, evolutionists, however, at- show tha Ciydes _and The tempted to | Shetlands had a common origin that Pomeranians and greyhounds and wolves had in the remote past a common ancestor, that the tiger and the cat were cousins, and that man and chain of development.Darwin tried to show that there were four great factors in evolution, namely, heredity variation, multiplication and selec- tiop.He showed that as the members of any particular species multiplied, and as the competition among them for food became keener, thesc that had some slight inherited advantage, such as a thicker fur, a longer claw, or a more prehensile lip, would naturall, survive, and that as their progeny would in some extent inherit these trifling advantages ed would form a new species, The Theory of Accident.Weissman, a wonderful microscrop- ist, denied that it was possible for any animal to transmit any qualities that had not been transmitted to him.For instance, if a man naturally feeble were to become loaded with muscle by training, he could not transmit to his children a tendency to large muscle.He said that Darwin\u2019s theory demanded too much time, too many millions of years.He admitted the general theory of evolution, but disputed the natural selection explanation, and said that the changes were effected in the cells themselves.In every egg, for instance, at a certain time, half of the egg is discarded in the process of development, and therefore, half the influences of here- d.ty are wasted.He thought, therefore, that it was à mere accident that hatural selection.Though Wisesman\u2019s eminence 8s a scientist is not to be challenger, it remains true that the belief of science in Darwin's conclusions.The FinestResort Hotel In the World Has besa Ait at Sut Abssiutoly Fireproof, Open AR the Year certain types had

St.Joha's College, Southsea, Portsmouth, has forwarded to the High Commissioner\u2019s office, a case containing what is described as a stone relic of the Old Citadel of Quebec.It consists of two fragments of stone with armorial bearings carved upon the main portion.It naturally occurs to me that these two fragments should be presented to the City of Quebec, and I therefore have the pleasure, Mr, Mayor, of tendering them to you on behalf of your City, [ am assuming, of course, that the fragments are an authentic portion of the Old Citadel of Quebec.In that case, it would seem appropriate that they might be fitted into the St.John's Gateway, which, I understand, is about to be reconstructed.However, this is mercly a suggestion.and 1 Jeave the disposition of these stones entirely to the judgment and discretion of the Civiz Authorities.Permit me, in conclusion, My.Mayor, to tender to you and to the members of the City Council, as well as to all the citizens of Quebec, the season's

Bogash, and full sister of Frank Bogash, jr, 2.01 3-4, showed her true metal at the Exhibition Grounds Îce Track yesterday afternoon, defeating Henry R.in a matched race in straight heats, which she stepped in 2.20, 220 1-2 and 2.22 14 respectively.The match was the result of an open challenge issued by Mr.O.Clement, owner of Frankie Bogash.in which he offered to match the little mare against any horse in Quebec for any amount between $100 and $500.Henry R,, proferred.After some dis- eussion as to the conditions\u2019 of the race, Mr, Act.Drapeau, the owner of Henry R.agreed to match his horse.The amount was fixed at $400 and each owner duly deposited the sum.It was announced in The Chronicle at the beginning of the week that the race would be contested on the day after New Year, providing the weather and track were favorable.Accordingly, yesterday afternoon, a large gathering of lovers of light harness racing from all parts of the city and district were present to see the race and interest was keen, while admirers of both horses backed their favorites with considerable amounts.Both horses were in the pink of trim and Frankie Bogash appeared with her trainer and driver, James Leboutillier up, while Mr.- Drapeau had secured the services of Driver Potvin, of Montreal, who gave Henry R.his present mark of 2.18 1-4 at Chatham, N.B., just before he wae purchased by Mr, Drapeau.The Bagash mare had the pole and was never headed in any of the three heats.As a matter of fact, the gelding could only keep her wheel as far as ihe first corner and then she Victoria Club,

TWIRLERS.New York, Jan, 2\u2014The baseball season of 1913 saw the debut of the Federal Leagwy, an owtlaw organization.: When this ofganiiation was first introduced to the public, many of the fans were of the opinion that it would follow in the footsteps of the United States League and crumble up after à month or two of playing.But to the surprise of all the followers of the National game, it completed its schedule.In Indianapolis the Federal League outdrew the American Association team.This was due to the fact that the Federal team won the pennant, while the American Association club trailed the other seven teams in the league.The world\u2019s series, the highest honors that can be obtained on a baseball field, was captured by the Philadelphia Athletics.The Mackmen had a comparatively easy time in winning the American League pennant, although the Cleveland Naps gave the Athleticy several scares.The Giants failed to display their real form until the second month of the campaign, and it was not until July that the National League champions over came the Phillies.Like the Naps, the Phillies failed to stand the strain and peakened near the end of the season.The Athletics outclasied the Giants in the world's stries and won the title in five games.Veterans fighréd plominently in winning .the championship for the Athletics.\u201cBig Chief\u201d Bender, the veteran redskin, aol Eddie Phnk, the Gettysburg southpaw, won three of the four -games, while \u201cBullet Joe\u201d Bush, a youngster appearing for the fiest, time in à world's series, madd\u2019 good when.Mack.depended upon him to assist his two veterahs in triumph ing over the Glas.\u2019 After the Giants had won oat ah in Philly, Mack sent Bush the National League crowd ig, the third game at.the Polo Grom -the tputigetes held the Giants té-fivé hits aad-ston- the game.7 .urled brilliant: ol Christy pr à ly against the Ath series.For nine ini both he and Plank kept the batters from the plate.In the ninth the Atheltics had a man on third with aoné out, but yet the \u201cOld Master\u201d kept Jam from scoring.|.and in the next_innisg he.staged.the Giants with a cin ¥ingle.Before the imning was.over thrée runs were scored off Plank.This was the greatest g me ever played.After it Hughey Jennings, the popeldr leader of the Tigers, said it was the best pitching game he had ever witnessed.Matty faced the Athletics in the fifth game.He was at his best and otice more he was opposed by the veteran Eddie Plank.After another brilliant pitching battle the \u201cOld Master\u201d succumbed to Plank, because his defense fell down when the Athletics had a chance to score.Matty wound up his twelith season in_the big league by striking out Wal lie Schang, Mack's young buckstop,- with three fadeaways.The last ane Sçhang missed by more than a foot.As Wallie swung at the ball Mattyturned and ran for the exit in centre | field, amid the applause of the forty thousand fane.One of the most important things that the National League accomplished during the year was the election of Gov.John Kinley Tener of Pennsylvania as President of the league.Gov.Tener succeeded Tom Lynch, who held this distinction four years.The meeting of the magnates was a peaceful affair, The Giants were strengfhened by securing Bob Bescher in exchange fot Charlie Herzog and Grover Hartley.Bescher is considered one of the best outfielders in the National League, and undoubtedly will materially help the Giants in their fight to retain the championship next séason.The biggest trade of players was made between the St.Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburg Pirates.Miller Huggins of the Cardinals gave E4 Konetchy, Mike Mowrey and Bob Harmen for Chief Wilson, Cosy Dolan, Art Butler, Hank Robinson and Joy Miller.When the official pitching averages of the National League were issued they showed that Matty was the kingpin of them all in the old league, despite the fact that before the season began many of the out-of-town baseball fans were of the opinion that the \u201cOld Master\u201d was \u201call in\u201d Matty showed his skeptics that there was nothing wrong with his great arm, and today the \u201cOld Master,\u201d with his family, is spending the winter in California, keeping in condition for next year.Jake Daubert, the great first baseman of the Dodgers, carried off the batting honors.He captured the auto for the most valuable player in the National League.\u2018The batting honors of the American League were nnce more won by Tyrus Raymond Cobb, of the Detroit Tigers.The \u201cGeorgia Peach\u201d had two rivals for his crown during the biggest part of the senson-Joe Jackson of the Naps and Tris Speaker of the Red Sox.Both Lyme re pressed Ty hard, shd'ht ohertimb Jadikson led HON HEATERS ARE BEFORE BELL RNES Although he K ca a kid, lite Johhny Shiff has filpped towels across the belligerant countenance of many a distinguished fighter.He has been \u2014 as Abdul the Turk.What follows are Jolnoy's observations of the way that well known fighters act just before the time fer them to go into the ring \u201c1 have been with some fighters,\u201d said Johnny last night, \u201cwho were as nervous as boarding school .girls.Others wait for the fight with calm indifference.\u201cThe cotiest fghter 1 ever saw, both in the ring and while waiting for the time to come to step into the ring, was Ad Wolgast\u201d.Ad Was Sheepy.\u201cAd always sleeps the last hours before the fight.- \u201cEF remember the night that he fought Antone La Grave ir San Franciscr we had a hard time waking him up for the scrap.Tom Jones had been out at the ringside watching the last preliminary and rushed into Ad's dressing room, shouting, \u2018Come on.Ad\u2019 But Ad was asleep.It seemed as though nothing would wake him, We shook him and punched, but he only muttered and growled, \u2018Go way and lemme alone\u2019 and went back to sleep.We had a deuce of a time getting him up.\u201cJust before the Joe Rivers fight, which meant do much to Ad, ! saw him at his quarters at Jack Doyle's.Ad was in bed.When I came in, he opened hs eyes and asked.\u2018How much money is there in the galleries?\" \u201cI told him the galleries were nearly fall and a long line of ticket buyers stretched down the street.\u201c \u201cThat's all I want to know.The rest to come is an old story\u2019 said Ad, and turned over to sleep again.Dundee Sat In Bed.\u201cJohnny Dundee is always put to bed by his manager just before each fight, but never is able to go to sleep, Johuny loves to fight and is so eager for the scrap to begin that he can hardly wait.After he goes to bed, few Qundee always invites.all his train.| inte\u2019 his room and sits up in bed and tells stories.:

gloves and his, shoes.If you speak to him suddenly, he snaps your head off.Like Ritchie, it is hard for him to keep still.The last hali-hour before a fight is a very miserable one for everybody around the Rivers camp.MORE.13 Cv a Silent Burns.\u201cOne of the most peculiar boxers I ever saw in the last minutes before à fight is Frankie Burns, the lightweight.Just before the fight he relapses into dead silence.You can\u2019t get a single word out of hip.He will even answer questions by simply nod- | diné his head.He isn\u2019t cross and he doèsn't act as though he were par-' ticularly worried, but the Sphinx is a regular chatterbox compared with Frankie just before a fight.Packy is Merry.\u201cOre of the most charming com- pznions 1 know of is Packy McFarland just before a fight.The prospect of the coming battle seems to fil Packy with good nature.He laughs and jokes with everyone around the training camp.While they are weighing in before a fight, fighters usually pour sarcasm and taunts upon each other.But Packy\u2019s jokery is always polite and pleasant.You ought to see Packy and Tommy Murphy weighing in.joshes him on his good looks, \u2018Tommy, he will say, \u2018you are getting better looking every time I.see you.I believe you go to à beauty doctor.Confess it, now! Mandot and Murphy.\u201cJoe Mandot is rather silent, and, although always courteous, keeps his tiainers dancing around at a great rate before à fight.He has this one fetching his gloves and that one lacing on his shoes, and somrone else fixing him his bandages while he sits around like à young prince and has his wants attended to.\u201cTommy Murphy is another boy who is rather fond of being waited on.It is hard to know with exactly what emotions Tommy waits for » fight.He is a very quiet, self-con- tained boy.Leach Cross.\u201cLeach Cross is exactly the opposite of Mandot in this particular, Before a fight, his dressing room is in an uproar of joshing and laughter.Leach insiste upon doing ali the work of preparation himself.He will allow n° one else to fix his bandages; puts on his own shoes and laces them\u2014 all the while keeping up 8 steady fice of the most brilliant kind of wit.It is as good ay a vaudeville show to be in Leach\u2019s dressing room before a Cobb by many points Men quetrest man 1 ever saw be- a professional second almest as often || -|.the Ottawas, lined up with New Edin- Packy always |- rials, not including biscks Dis:ounis of Suits now being sold\u201d 5 178 St, John St.L.A, ROY, in the newest fashion ars now being sold st Come in and sen ohF spécl i and All Fashion:Craft Clathss in coloured mate- ané blues, : aoû taifopet i { \u201crat 20 Par Cent.vas > 128 St.Joseph St.Proprietor.fore a fight was Jim Flynn, The fireman is a big roughneck and he charger around his dressing room Bike a mad bull before a fight.He seems to think that he it getting the gest of\u2018his oppohent, who, of course, isn't there.i the time that he is dressing, Jim keeps bawling out rough jeers and taunts, and insults at his unhearing opponent.All tha whily he is gettibg- dressed.Fou keeps telling his trainers of the rightful things he intends doing to \u2018the: other fellow.He is so blood-thirsty thas you get scared for fear a wholesale murder is coming off, Finlaly, Flyan finishes deéssing, blusters out of: the ed and {ben comés back again\u201d > Ottaws, Jan, 2\u2014In the opening game of the Inter-Provincial Amateur Hockey Union here tonight.New Edinburghs defeated the Britannias a new club, by 9 to 6.Eddie Gerard and Greg George, who are claimed by \u2018burghs George scored \u2018âve, of the winning feam\u2019s goals.Gegard djif not extend himself.\u201d - T1 WESTMINSTER WINS : ' AGAIRST VICTORIA.Victoria, B.C., Jan 2\u2014Westminstet defeated Victoria by a score of § to 4.Line-up: Victoria Westminster.Lindsay .\u2026 Lehmann Goal Genge.soo \u2026.+.Rochor Point Smmaill .+.221 105 0000 Johnson Cover-point Poulin .++.serveuse Ostman Rover, FEE Kerr veer cio nee veau McDanald .Right Wing =~ Dunderdale .Mallen calle ROWE .\u2026.«vn ou ov, «ee.Throop.Left Wing ~ Referee: Si Grilfs.LONDON MARKETS.London, jan.2\u2014Raw sugar, centrifugal, 9s 6d;

by numerous increases of the regular dividends on bank stocks.and by the institution of several bonus distributions to stockholders.On taking the December, 1912, return and comparing it with the return for December, 1911, it is seen that at the later date seven banks were paying regular dividends at a higher rate than in 1911; also it is the case that four other institutions hid instituted bonuses in 1912.In 1912, on the other hand.up to the beginning oi December there had been only one dividend increase \u2014 the bonuses instituted in 1912 were, however, continued in 1913.Conditions have not been quite so favorable for increased profits, increase in the average amount of funds at the disposal of the banks; but it was only one-third of the increase shown in the preceding year\u2014 $53,000,000 in 1913, as against $150.- 000,000 in 1912.And, taking the total assets of the banks as at December 31, 1912, it is 10 be noted that the amount then at their disposal was greater than at any month-end in 1913 (excepting April) until August was reached.For one-third of the year the bank resources were decreasing instead of increasing.C.P.R.Issue.It can be said that but for the Canadian Pacific stock issue the decrease in banking resources,jand consequently in the banks power to discount, would have reached more important dimensions.But for that transaction it ie probable that the average amount at the disposal of the banks in 1913 would have been little if any greater than in 1912.The C.P.R.issue must therefore receive the credit for enabling the Canadian banks to handle difficult situation in the most satisfactory manner, Altogether the transaction called for the payment of $105,000.000 by the Canadian Pacific stockholders into the Bank of Montreal.As four-fifths of the outstanding stock is supposed to be in Europe, this meant the importation by Canada of a very large amount of new capital.While the total resources of the banks did not increase as in the preceding year, the rates of discount applying to domestic loans and advances remained largely as in 1912.Money was tight throughout the year, and when that is the case the banks usually name comparatively high rates of discount as a condition of taking up new transactions.Alsoif one might judge from the behavior of the municipal debenture market, teh rates of interest on municipal loans carried by the banks weer higher in 1912 than in 1911.And better rates were obtainable on bills of exchange and short loans in London market.But.on the other hand, the large amounts which the banks are obliged to keep employed as call loans in New York earned a discouragingly small return.For a large portion of the year the rate was in the neighborhood of two per cent.: and when the New York State tax of one-half per cent, acme ont the returns would be very small So it is not likely that the average rate of return on all invested funds would be much, if any, higher than in 1912, Holdings of \u201cPaper.\u201d Another development bearing on the profits of the hanks is seen in the increase of their holdings of past due paper.Jt was remarked a year ago that the past due paper as at October 31.1912, was standing at an unusually high figure.and that it sppeared to be tending upwards.Notwithstanding extensive writing off in May, 1913, the aggregate rose subsequently, thorugh the summer and fall; and at the end of October it was $600,000 greater than on the same date in 1952.This development suggests that the banks have been obliged to apply a larger amount of current profits in 1913 to provide for bad and doubtiol debts.As these appropriations are ruade prior to the declaration of profits, they might have à tendency in some cases to bring the published resnlts below the results shown last year.\u2018 Amalgemations, Apart from the absorption of the Bank of New Brunswick by the Bank of Nova Scotia, and the taking over of La Banque Internationals by the Home Bank of Canada (both of which transactions were arranged in 1912), thers were no bank amalgamations in Canada in 1913.At the time of 2 no amalgemations are Appareniz the There was an! the 1are less disposed to take aggressive action in this direction.The discussion of banking and curreney matters which preceded.the emncument of the new Bank Act showed very clear- ty that an inflsential section of the public considered that concentration bad gone far enough.And the disposition of the bankers, se-fte as can be seen, is td vhopect public opinien, There is no doutié they are wise in taking this attitude.It is to be expected that casualties will occur from time to time; and aa it ie almost impossible unéer présent conditions to organize and start & new bank, the nutuber of institutions in business may gradually decrease.Itis not desirable that the decrease ba unduly through the carrying out of ambitious designs by cerain of he large institutions.Before leaving the subject of amalgamations it should be said that, while there were no amalgamations among the banks in Canada, the Royal Bank of Canads acquired during the year the business and property of the Bank of British Guiana.New Gold Reserves.The year 1913 is also notable for the institution of the new central gold reserves provided by.the Bank Act.The need for\u2019 enlarging the supply of currency had been apparent for some years, and by means of the central gold reserves the available supply is increased without causing inflatios snd without weakening the bank position in general.Fach bank may now issue its notes free of tax throughout the year up to the amount of paid-up capital plus its deposits of gold or Dominion notes in the central reserves, In the fall of 1913 the banks had recourse extensively to the new privilege, and it is likely that in the course of a few years the bank notes in circala- tion this covered by gold will increase to large figures.The transition from the great prosperity of 1911 and 1912 to the quieter times of 1913 has also been marked by the closing or withdrawal of a considerable number of branch banks .The banks have not been quite so active in opening new branches, and the executive officers have apparently been searching more closely for unprofit- \u2018able branches.Consequently the net addition to the number of bank offices in 1913 is not so large as in 1912, H.M.P.ECKARDT.CLOSING MARKET LETTER.Received over the private wire of Neuville Belleau & Co, brokers, 93 St.Peter St, Quabec New York, Jan.2\u2014The early market displayed strength soon after the opening and one especial source of gratification was the rise in Can.Pacof 3 points.The foreign liquidations have apparently ceased.Many of the investmert issues slhbwed the absorptive demand of essh buyers.There was one exception, American Tel & Tel, which showed a depression and lost over 2 points.After the noon hour business slack- ewed and prices were shaded slightly, but there was no weakness.The firm of J.P.Morgan & Co.sprung a surprise by resigning as directors from a large number of corporations which they controlled.It is said the operation of the new currency bill wus in part responsible for this action.The government's program for trust legislation and regulation would seem to commend itself to th: public, although it may worry some of the larger industrial combinations that have been conducting their business along monopolistic fines.Closing was weak with earlier gains largely dissipated and in many instances at¥ to % below the final of Wednesday.We still believe the market a purchase, as applied to the investment issues and should take advantage of good opportunities to acquire selected stocks.BANK OF ENGLAND.London.Jan.2.\u2014Bullion amounting to £283000 was taken into the Bank of England on balance today.+ HOW TO PREVENT ACID STOMACHS AND FOOD FERMENTATION By a Stomach Specialist.As a specialist -who has spent many years iv the study and treatment of stomach troubles, 1 have been fotced to the conclusion that most people who complain of stomachs that are absolutely healthy are absolutely healthy and normal.The real trouble that which causes all the pain and difficulty, is acid in the stomach, usually due to.or aggravated by, food fermentation.Acid irritates the delicate lining of the stomach and food fermentation causes wind which distends the stomach abnormally, causing that toll bloated feeling.Thus both acid snd fermentation interfere with and retard the process of digestion.The stomach is wvsually healthy and normal.but irritated almost past endurance hy these foreizn elements \u2014 acid and wind.In nil such cases \u2014 and they comprise crer 90 per cent.tralize the acit and stop the fermentation hy taking in a little warm or cold water immediately after eating, hulf a tcaspoonful of bisurated magnesia.which is doubtless the best and only really effective antacid and food enrrective known.The acid will be neutralized and the fermentation stopped almost instantly, and your stomach will at once proceed to di- aest the food in a healthy, normal manner.Be sure to ask your shem- ist for the bisurated magnesls, asl have found other forms utterly tac.n its peculiarly vaiyable perties\u2014P, J.G., \u201c pre: too rapid, or that it be accelerated of all stomach difficulties\u2014the firss | and only step necessary is to neu- ;

McGie, who controlled the express business in Quebec, amt fikewile an insurance broker.\u2019 The insurance business in those days was easy in comparison to the present day of keen competition.We never went after risks., parties wishing to insure, came to us.and the business transacted in the office.When the Canadian Express Company was first established, and the Quebec agency opened, the late Mr.McGie was appointed agent, and I conducted that branch of the business, and svon zfterwards Mr.McGie gave the agency over to me, and ! acted as agent for the company far nearly 57 yeara, until recently when I retired on supcranuation.Busy Scenes of Old.Quebec in my boyhood and young manhood days, was the busicst c.in- mercial city in Canada.It was in the time of the wooden ships, and the timber trade.The river [com the spring to the close of navigation was crowded with sriling crafts, and the aspect in every way differed (5 the present day.Both sides of tie river from Indian Cove to St Romuald, and on the north side from Point-a- Carcy to \u2018Victoria Cove, were lined with wooden salling ships, receiving cargoes of square timber for the English market.\u2018here was no sawn lamber in those days.he manufacture of lumber vag carried on abroad.Harbor Was Crowded Besides the stups engaged in loading along the wharves, the harbor was crowded with vessels Iving at anchor in the stream.waiting there chance to obtain berth room.The city atreets were alive with ship captains and sailors, money plenty, aud life gay as well as happy.Besides the shipping there was another adjunct to the commercial business of Quebec that has long ago disappeare-! never again to return.[ have reference to the large ralts of timber that esme down the St.Lawrence to feed the sailing?shipa \u201cwith their cargo.Timber Towing Days.It was a picturesque sight in those days, to watch the big rafts, on which were built houses for the men to live in, float down the river with the tide, or towed down, as the men on the raft would guide theit immnese float with tremendous long oars.In the spring the greatest umber of rafts would come down.from the Ottawa, and the men who were engaged in the woods all through the winter, hewing and shaping the timber, would be paid off in Quebec, and spend thelr hard earned wages freely, and sometimes not very prudently.There waa nto such a thing in Quebee in the past, as the calm languidy that exists today, under the more changed progresive commercialis.Tn the till hours of the night, early morning, and all day long, the hum of industry coudd be heard.The song of the saîlor men holsting the schor in the stream.the blowing of the tughoat whistles, and the cHop- [ine of the raft fastenings could be \u2018heard, mingling with the shouting of the ship laborers, engaged in Jokding the ships with timber, that went to show the hustle and hustle of sommercial- industry, that made for.Wher for mbny in Quebec, who wanë in she later to British hcdnes

business.St.Peer etutet was at times so-crowdsé, ahat i ne sidewalk wea nbn Le ibla.Ths tower town was Meo orewdad wish abip chandler stores, White thy chased his supplies.\"There was besides the cullers\u2019 office, à very important branch of the inland service, and the number of nten who made 8, good living in this apeciai branch, was also remarkable.Champlain street was a bee hive of business, and the street crowded day and night with seafaring nen.The ship labor- crs alone, who loaded the vessels with square timber.numbered over 15,000, and everybody seemed happy.All this has changed, and oply the older residems who lived in those days can have any realization of Old Quebec in former days.The Champlain Market, one \u2018of the picturesque sights of former Quebec, has disappeared to make room for the mos dern railway, the wooden ships long disappeared to wake room for the steamship, .the Finley Market also levelled, and the street pedlers who \u2018used to occupy the aguare opposite the little lower town Church on Notre Dame street.a fading memory, and the hustle and bustle of the timber trade also gone forever, and with those \u2018business interests of the past, thé many old and reliable mercantile firms, except the firma of Price Bros, Sharples, the Burstall, and one or two others.: I often think of and miss\u201d the old familiar St.Peter street

from the time the Imperial troops occupied the city and when Quebec was the capital, before Confederation, when the great statesmen of the \u2018past, who done so much for Canada, Sir John A Maedonald, Darcy McGee, Cartier; Lafontaine, Tache, Baldwin, Brown ahd others immortalized in Canada.particularly history, graced the Legislative halls, and promoted the great scheme of Cahadjan

important isctor in the trade and prosperity of the city, giving employment to a large number of workmen, and helping in othér ways trade in every direction.Ship building in Quebec is remembered By a number of our older citizens, and Quebec ships were ensily disposed of in the British market, a9 they were looked upon as the best that were afloat.The lute Mr.J.G.Ross, although Wot a builder, was a great promoter of the industry, and by his means.helped many a man te keep upon his feet.He died wealthy and left a great deal of smaney to Christian charities, Theatre Fire, Quebec had ite tragedies In the ast as well as its charming side of ire, The burning of the thebtre that stood om the ground approaching the east side of the Dufferin Terrace, was one of the many sad calamities of the past.Thie building was theretofore a riding school, and the fire broke out on the night of June 12th, 1846, when 45 ts 50 people perished, due in a great monsure to the fact that the main loor opened

outward, : Steamboat Disaster.Eleven ycare-later, another tragedy was Joacted that cast a gloom over the Cty of Quebec.Iu June, 7, the steamer \u201cMontreal,\u201d ow: by the late John Wilson, sailed from Quebec for Montreal, with some 500 passeugers, most of whom were immigrants from Scotland, who had come out.in a wooden sailing ship, beund for Montreal and Ontario, the river, and was run ashore at Cap Rouge.Some 200 of the Scotch immigrants perished, whose remains were buried in the Mount Hermon cemetery, where no stone was ever erected to mark their graves.This, no doubt, is due to oversight, and I often think that the St.Andrew's Societles of Canada, should emulate ths example of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, who -ecently had a monument erected at Grosse Isle.to mark the graves of the fever victims, erect $8 mofument to Scotch immigrants of the steamer Montreal disaster in Mount Hermon cemetery.\u2018 One of the Quebec passengers who perished\u201d ut the ume, Mr.Maclaren, was not forgotten by his friends, A tablet was placed in St Peters Chuch, St.Valier street, to bis memory.The late Rev.Dr.Cook, for many years the able minister of St, Andrew\u2019s Church un this city, who was prominent in every good work, gave valuable assistance and advice, when the bodies, of the poor immigrants were brought :0 Quebec from the scene of the disaster, for interment, and officiating at the cemetery when they were laid to rest.A full detail of the accident is recorded in the church of June 0th, 1857.In my boyhood days, the lower town was an important residential part of the city, over the offices and stores along St.Peter street and Sault au Matelot street, many of the merchants lived with their families, and besides quite a number of our last people lived in Little Champlain street, and the Cul-de-Sac.Our family lived, on Sr.Peter street, on the corner of St.Paul, opposite where the Hochclaga Bauk now stands.Point Levi was.sparsely populated.and very many families moved over there in the summer to live.The Island of Orleans was altogether given up to farms, except in à few cases, and very jew went to the sea shore.Cacouna )ater on became a summer resort, and now the whole south shore has became famous as summer resorts.The congregation of the English Cathedral was so large, that Trinity Church was first built to accommodate the overflow.What a contrast in the past with the present, Mr.W.C.Scott, brother of the late Charles A.Scott, C.E., who promoted the Levis, and Kenebec Railroad, now the Quebec Central, and the Quebec Northern Railway, and also the \u2018elder brother of Mr.J.G.Scott, vice-president, of the Quebec Board of Trae, and former manager of the Quebec and Lake St, John Railway.= \u2014 .MINUIT

placing the papers heretofore import- making news-print paper, whose output would add about a thousand tons per day so the total production of this class of Camadian paper.Some of these mills, though under construe- tion, were not finished tilt this year, and in two cases the original plans were not carried out, so that the total increase of news-print for the two years remains at about 1.000 tons per day.In other words, the increased capacity for 1913 is mostly confined to the mills started in 1912 but oaly completed this year.The Donacona Mills, now being built on the north shore of the St.Lawrence, about 30 miles west of Quebec, and which will be in operation early in the new year, will add 50 tons per day to this total, and the Abitibi Pulp & Paper Mills, now being built at a place celled Iroquois Falls, on a spur of the T.& NX.O.Railway, in northern Ontario, will, it is understood, soon emerge from a pulp mill to a paper mill.Meantime it is expected to be in operation about February as a ground-wood pulp mill producing 150 to 200 tons of pulp per day.The decision to convert its pulp into news-print is said to have been taken as the result of tbe new United\u2019 States tariff.The E.B.Eddy Company's new ground-wood mill will also he running next month, adding 110 tons per day to the capacity of those mills.The St.Lawrence Pulp & Paper Corporation, composed of is building at Bonaventure.Quebec, a pulp mill to | have an output of 125 tony per daÿ and involving the construction of si teen miles of railway to supply it wi wood.It is to be finished next tumn.Without counting these us- finished projects, the completed mills will bring the total daily production of Canadian news-print to 1.500 tons, compared with 4000 tons of tire same class of paper in the United States.The news-print exported from here to .the United States will reach about 11.000 tons a day at the beginning of 1914.Though the new developments that are to be credited strictly to 1913 in news-print are not so great as in the previous year, new mills and exten- \u2018sions in other branches of the indus try are more important, especially in the manufacture of chemical pulp and in book, bond and kraft papers.The Riordon Paper Mills are adding four new digesters to their sulphite pulp department, increasing theis output by 140 tons per day.Of course new digesters three are already in operation.The Booth Mills at Ottawa and the Beigo-Canadian Mills at Shawinigan Falls have also added new digesters to their sulphite plants.Other mills have increased their pro- 1 duction of chemical pulp, and this increase has gone into the manufacture of books, bond and other papers of the | higher class, which are steadily dis- led.this displacement applying not \u2018only to United States products, but to British and European.Among the - mills increasing their capacity in these , lines are the Rolland Paper Company \u2018and the St.Lawrence Paper Mills, The new machines at the Montrose Mills of the last-named corporation have an omtput of 20 tons per day.The Howard Smith Paper Company's new mili at Beauharnois.Que, has taken up the specialty of loft- dried bond and writing papers, with an output of six tons a day.The Wyagamac Paper Company of Three Rivers will soon be making-100 tons per day of machine-glazed kraft papers, and the Dryden Mills at Dryden, Ont, are turning out 30 tons a day of similar papers.Among the miscellaneous industries having wood pulp as their base are the Fibre Products Company, whose new mills at Thorold will turn out various specialties, and the Beaver | Board Company of Ottawa and Buffalo, who are installing machinery in a new mill at Thorold for making \u201cbeaver board,\u201d which is a pulp board used as a substitute for wallpaper and for walls and ceilings in the place of lath and pl=ter.\" Of such material the mill at Thorold is to turn'out 80 tons a day; An interesting feature of this installation is thet the wood- grinding and all other machinery, except the paper machines, will be operated by eléctricity from Niagara Falls.This is.the first electricdlly-operated paper mill in Canada.\"In cremical pulp, both sulphite and suiphate (kraft pulp), the Canadian mills are not only supplying tae uvme marked more largely than ever, and, increasing their exports to the United States.but this year, for the

2000 tons, have been imported to Thorold direct from Sweden, but this pulp was brought in to be used in paper for export, under which condition 99 per cent.of the duty is remitted to the manufacturer.With all these developments prices have been rather unsatisfactory, not only in Canada.but in the United States, where excessive production.combined with the competition of Canadian mills and the unsettlement Cue to tariff changes, has depressed the market.And, unhappily for the United States papermakers, the cost of raw materials has steadily risen during the past two years, while prices of pulp and paper have remained stationary or declined.The highest price ever known for spruce lumber in the United States was recorded this year, and in regard to spruce pulpwood the general situation may be indicated by the fact that in the Watertown district of New York peeled spruce, which could be had three years ago at $9.50 per cord, delivered, now costs $12.50, and rossed wood about §2 a cord higher.And, by the way, the United States importations of Canadian pulpwood this year will be about s million cords, This ingrease in the cost of the prime raw material is not local, but applies to such countries as Sweden, Norway and Germany as well as the United States.The increage in cost in Germany for instance, has amounted in the last three years to about $4 pér ton of sulphite pulp, due to growing scarcity of wood, and the rise in Scandinavia is about the same, The leadership in the world's wood pulp industry: and of paper made from wood pulp will depend, first, on

| While Morgan & Company are still represented on the boards of many of the country\u2019s great corporations, Mr.Morgan's statement that \u201cwe expect from time to time to retire from other boards,\u201d was accepted as foreshadowing the ultimate withdrawal of Morgan partners from all the great outside enterprises with which they have been long connected.Untermyer\u2019s Opinion.Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the Pujo committee, said he regretted that the announced list of withdrawals did not \u201cinclude the more important interlocking directorates in the financial district held by the firm, such as those in the First National and National City banks.\u201d \u201cIt appears also,\u201d he said, \u201cthat whilst some.of the parthers resign from the board of à given company one or more remain, which would seem to indicate that this is more in the nature of a business convenience than a surrender to public sentiment and that nothing very substantial has been us yet accomplished in the way of vindicating the principle for which the advocates .of corporate reform have been contending, But the promise held out in the Interview is encouraging.It will doubtless all come in time\u201d In connection with Mr.Untermyer\u2019s sntagonism between the public and men of affairs.Our big men have | now.decided to meet the spirit of un-, rest on the part of the public by so, adjusting their affairs as to comply with public sentiment, and 1 believe that today's announcement, and those that will follow, will be met by the public in the right spirit, In brief, the events of the past few days regardin corporation affaire, have encourage me more than anything that has hap- statement it was suggested that the reason the!'Morgan partis had not withdraws from the boards of the National bauks commonly referred to as the Morgan institutions, was that the pending the interpretation of the new matter was being held in abeyance banking and currency law, What was interpreted as a sign of willingness on Mr.r's part to give up such con- nectiune was the recent sale by the First Securities Company, eontrolled by First National Bank.intereste, of a dounas of La Scala =F whose If might not be danggrous, \u2018but still it | Montcalm Market (east end corner.)

Join Adcock.New York: The Macmillan \u2018Company.: Another book about London! \u2018They are multiplying fast, and serve to show the interest that we of the New World take in the great city of the Old.\u201cThe Booklover's London,\u201d in which Mr.Adcock has devoted more than three hundred pages to Londons associations with the imaginary folk of the novelists and dramtists, is on a subject that has been viewed at various angles by writers of far differing tastes, but none has treated it more sympathetically «nd more minutely.He admits that he has omitted a\u2019great deal; some things knowingly, for lack of space; some because he forgot them until too late; some from sheer ignorance.But he has made a most readable book for those who love London fand the imaginary people that once

its streets, and even some of nooks and corners are seen in thelr favorita haunts.There is a glimpse of the surroundings of such glamorous rescals as Jonathan Wild and Jack Shepard; we delight to learn of the places where the gentle Elia and hs friends dined\u2014and doubtless wined; | and coming down to later days, it is \u2018 interesting to see Gissing\u2019s people ' wandering up and down the Strand.Years ago Master Heriot, in \u201cThe Fortunes of Nigel,\u201d rode down thet same thoroughfare on his mule, past the lordly mansions, past Charing Cross, \u201cwhich was no longer the pless- ant solitary village at which the Judges were wont to breakfast on their way to Westminster Hall,\u201d and so round to the Jalace of James I.in Whitehall.When Jeanie Deans came to London\u2019 she stayed with her friend Mrs.Glass, who kept s fashionable snuff-shop in the Strand, and it will be recalled that in the Strand lived Miss La Creevy, the miniature painter with whom Mrs.Nickleby and Nicholas and Kate lodged when they first came from the country.All London is peopled with Dickens's creations and Mr.Adcock has omitted few of them.i The author knows bis London well | and many are the bits of information that show how tireless has heen his work in trying to bring out the relations between places and people.What was once Hoxton Fields, to which there are many references in \u201cEvery Man ia His Humor.\u201d reminds him that here Ben Jonson fought 3 duel with Gabriel Spencer, the player, | and killed him.Curtain Road in that vicinity commemorates the old Cur- | tain Theatre with which Shakespesre * was associated when: he first came to London, and at the far end of a near- ! :by street is Shoreditch church, in whose churchyard lie some of the ac- | tors who made the fame of the Cur- \u2018 tain, actors who were friends and companions of Shakespeare.The poet and his creations are found in many pages of Mr.Adcock\u2019s book, and we can well agree with him when he declares that the statue of King William, that marks almost the exact spot: where the Boar's Head used to stand, : should be taken away to some equally unsuitable position, that it might be fittingly replaced by a statue of Falstaff, with a mighty pedestal that should carry a medallion portrait of Shakespeare and be panelled with some of those immortal scenes that had the Boar's Head for

only a royal consort, rules King George, and that he rather likes it.This shows that King George is g shodel husband, meaning that\u2019 be js oly submissive, not as constrain-d by law, but as coaxed by affection and respect: If King George realy ruled England, this dominance of Queen Mary over him would give to her the power to rule England.But if power of this kind is what Queen Mary aims to secure, she has sl'pped a cog in her ambition by marrying an English king.King George is a constitution.si monarch of the type that gaverns through a ministry.Everything is dote in bis name, but the ministers do it all.He Liss his say ns à par- sot, of pronto] bat a to paver he is only a sym ranking in tes- ct with the Crest Sèal.The Minsters are alse dithout independent power.They sre merely a

are today ezsential to the existence of Mr.Asquith\u2019s majority in that \"body, it follows that these Nationalists members arc the -eal governing power in the present British government.Not content with this power, however, the Nationalists members are trying hard to set up a separate govérnment of their own in Ireland, and inasmuch as under the proposed Home Rule bill Ireland would have, in addition to the purely Irish parliament at Dublin, forty-two representatives in the British House of Commons\u2014a number sufficiently large to furnish a governing contingent at Westminster so long as the Britis parties are divided in their present very nesrly equal proportion-the net résult of the proposed Home Rule bill would be that the Nationalists would really govern both Ireland and England, It is thus evident that Queen Mary rule over King George is.really a private rather than a § 1blie matter.According to the Lonaon corres pondent of the New York Times, the Queen has tried in only one instance to carry her household masterfniness over into the public life of the eoun- try, and this may have been nothing shore than an unintended domestic detail.Hare is the story: However, if King George Is willing to let the queen king, there are those about him who are not at ail disposed to do an, and of late his majesty has received one or two \"eather pointed reminders of this fact.Conatit - it New and Worthily Manufactured 0 All from the Celebrated Eclipse Whitewear Manufacturing Co.We Bon\u2019t Think Such Liberal Bargains Have Ever Been Offered Before 10,000 Dainty,

the king's writing room in his personal apartments, while Queen Mary, also of late, has taken to using as her writing room, with the result that she has sometimes been in the room on the arrival of a minister and has remained there during the interview.At last representations were made by Premier Asquith to Lord Stamfordham that some of his colleagues objected to the presence of the queen during their interviews with rhe sovereign on state affairs, and Lord Stamfordham who by no means approves of the authority Queen Mary exercises in the royal household, readily enough undertook to convey the Prime Minister's message to both their majesties with the result that ministerial audiences with the sovereign are now no longer attended by his consort.No one can rightly say that King George is not 8 good deal of & man, He is not brilliant, but he is a hard worker in his sense of duty.He is diligent in- attendance upon all those public functions which the British permits hi mto potter with; he
