Craig.For years these men have conducted fraudulent schemes of various kinds under different firm names, seldom remaining long in any one locality and have filched, it is believed, fully $750,OOOfrom their dupes.The earlier operations of the gang were in con-nectioo with a fake lottery scheme at Kansas City, Mo., and later on pretended connection with the Louisiana Littery.Lately they have been

of diplomatic correspondence.Leaaknwortii, Ks., August 10 \u2014Wm.Chadburn escaped^from the Kansis penitentiary yesterday.During the preaching in the chapel he obtained permission to go to tbe toilet

and was tightly jammed in.Others of the party tied blankets together and attempted to pull him out, but he was so tightly wedged in that he could not be budged, and he froze to death In sight of his friends.CANADIAN REPORTS.BRITISH COLUMBIA CROP REPORT.__»,_ THE DEVELOPMENT OP THE NORTH-WEST.THE RECENT TRAGEDY AT FITZROY.CIVIC HOLIDAY IN THE QUEEN CITY.Premier Laurier on Governmeut

I think its problems and difficulties need to be investigated still further in a thoroughly systematic way, probably by a special commission,io order that the progress, settlement and development may be made along lines which may be followed year in and year out with the greatest measure of benefit to the settlers, the lowest cost to the Government and the largest possible advantage to the whole

brother in-law, Mr.M.Cox, Sydney Mines.Schultz took Miss Cox, eighteen years of age, for a short drive to her uncle\u2019s at the Pond, Sydney Mines, but instead of going to the Pond he drove over to Boular-deiin, and near the Government wharf, in a lonely locality, took her from the carriage, dragged her and abused her moat shamefully.During the struggle two countrymen, going homo from North Sydney, happened to he passing and heard the noise and rescued the girl.Schultz had her by the throat and was strangling lier when the men came to her rescue.During the struggle he blackened her eyes, cut her face and bruised her in a frightful manner.She told her saviours that she had made up her mind to die in the struggle rather than be conquered.Schultz was arrested Sunday morning and is now in

Newfoundland\u2014The Recent Echpsbof the Sun.ttchEAT BRITAIN.London, Aug.10 -There was an atmosphere of compromise in the House of Lords to-day when the Irish Land Bill came up on its third reading.The Marquis of Lans-downe, Secretary of State for War, submitted three amendments, which were somewhat in favor of the landlords, and these were accepted by the House.About a dozen amendments were offered by the landlords, but after brief debates these were withdrawn.Speaking of the motion that the bill be pa«.d on its third reading, Earl Spencer (Liberal) contended that if the measure was passed as it had been altered it would be a serious danger to Ireland and would also damage the strength and independence of the House of Lords.The bill then passed its third reading.Lord Salisbury\u2019s silence regarding the measure continues to be much commented upon.The Daily Newt will to-morrow publish a despatch from Athens saying that the Cretan revolutionary camp at Campos has declared the Reform Committee ditsolved and has established a Provisional Revolutionary Government, at the head of which as President is Gerokostaros Voloudakis, who headed the Cretan Embassy to the Berlin Congress.He is 92 years old, but is hale and hearty.GERMANY.Berlin, Aug.10\u2014The later phase of the eclipse of the sun yesterday, which occurred after 5.20 o'clock, was well observed here.NORWAY.Vadso, Aug.10\u2014The most impressive effect during the totality of the eclipse of the sun yesterday was the enormonsly sudden darkening of the landscape, which became a deep inky blue color.There was a lemon-colored band of sky all round the horizon.Brief glimpses of the sun were had through rifts in the clouds when it was half-eclipsed, a few minutes before the period of totality and again when the shadow was passing off, when the sun appeared shaped like a crescent.Numerous photographs were taken, but they are of little value.NEWFOUNDLAND.St.Johns, Aug.10\u2014The Supreme Court handed down a decision to-day quashing the indictment against the Directors of the Commercial and Union Banks for conspiring to present fraudulent statements of the banks.The ground of the decision is that nine members of the Grand Jury which found the indictments were ineligible to set.This compels the prosecution to begin the cases de novo next fall, but it is doubtful if they are ever revived.MILITIA REFORM.(To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) Dear Sir,\u2014It is now upwards of twenty years since the Riyal Military College was est&blished by Mr.Mackenzie and the Liberals, and ten since Colonel Hewett resigned the posiiiouof Com mandant, to whom it is not too much to say, in a great measure the high standing this College has attained, as a military and educational institution in England, Canada and the United States, is fairly due.That the College should continue to grow and prosper, in the future as in the past, will naturally he the desi\u2019e of Mr.Laurier and his Government, and no doubt they will adopt the same careful policy in appuinting a successor to General Cameron, that marked the original appointment ; for upon this officer, as the head of our system of militia education, the whole structure greatly depends.It will be impossible for many years to come to create a regular standing army in Canada, it therefore becomes ail the more necessary to maintain a high standard of intelligent, zealous and scientific officers upon our militia staff, and io the permanent schools ; so that all personal objecu and interests should be ign ired, in naming a new Commandant, to this much coveted position.He should certainly be the very best man that can be found in order that our young Cadets may continue to hold the proud position they do to-day in the estimation of military authorities the woild over, for as Napier observes, the fate of a .battle is often turnod by the error of a single fool.XXX.Quebec, 7th August, 1896.Literary Notes.The New York Journal calls\u201c Without Sin,\u201d by Martin

A good looking, well-to-do bachelor of St.John was being teased by the yoang ladies of a club for not being married.He said : \u201cI\u2019ll marry the one of you whom, on a secret vote, you elect to be my wife.\u201d There were nine members of the club.Each girl went into a corner and used great caution in preparing her ballot, and disguised her handwriting.The result of the vote was that there were nine votes cast, each girl receiving one.The man remains a bachelor, the club is broken up, and the girls all mortal enemies, onired in the one determination that they will not speak to the man again.All A beard fer gt.Lauréat, A«* A VERY PLEASANT EXCURSION.The recent very hot apell has been the cause of many of onreitizens hurrying off to tl e cool country resorts, and amongst the many beautiful spots around Quebec much resorted to by many well-known townspeople is vbat , of Sc.Laurent.The fine steamer \u201cMont-raagny has been doing a flourishing business this season, and the deservedly and very popular skipper, Captain Jean, has been must efficient in his courtesy and the manner in which he looks after the interests and welfare of his passengers.This trip to St.Lanrsnt, ot.Jean, St.Michel and Berthier by the steamer \u201cMonlmagny\u201d is really one of the moil delightful outings around onr city and the opportunity of taking this round trip on a warm afternoon is usually participated in by a large number of excursionists, who wish to enjoy the cool and refreshing air of the St.Lawrence below Quebec.Queer Wlll*Maklux.There seems to be a mania for queer willmaking just now.One of the provisions of tbe laat testament of Henrietta V.Leo Wolf, of New York City, reads as follows :\u2014\u201cI direct that my executors destroy within one month after my death the following family portraits : An oil painting of my late mother, Henrietta Louise Leo Wolf ; a painting of my late brother and aister, takeu as children ; a painting on wood of my grandmother, Mr».John S.Crary ; a painting on porcelain of my aunt, Virginia Crary, and a painting of my deceased sister.\u201d This is not as ecoentrio as it may seem.Miss Leo Wolf was a spinster and loved her home.She took especial pride in the portraits, and her request to have them destroyed is because of the fact that she ia the last of her family and does not wish the relics of her ancestors sold at auction or hawked about.Nothing , is more pitifnl to see than family portraits with no one who cares for them.Where Public Opinion glepa lu.8aw Her Duty and Hid It* The \u201ccross of gold\u201d parades are not at all popular with the Church, Protestant or Catholic, and no wonder.If anything more sacrilegious than this prostitution of the moat sacred Christian emblem can be imagined, let it be produced.There is an enormous element ready to lake offence ac this outrage, and their votes will prove their displeasure.\u2014 Boston Traveller.\t/ Ha Would Go Hungry.A mother was explaining to a diminutive juvenile the meaning of a picture representing a number of martyrs who had been thrown to some hungry lions.She tried to impress his infant mind with the terrors of the scene, and thought she had succeeded when suddenly he exclaimed : \u201cOh, ma ! J-ust look at that poor little lion behind there.He won\u2019t get any.\u201d Philosophical Nu&Kets.It is easy to profess virtue in opposition ; it is not so easy to practice virtue in office.It is easy to condcmh waste when the enemy is in possession of the treasury ; it is not so easy to practice economy when the children of one\u2019s own political household are profited by-the expenditures.It is easy to cut down the offices when we do not cash the monthly checks ; it is more difficult when our friends are on the pay roll.\u2014Toronto Globe.Tbe Créât Question lit Toronto.The law is enforced in Toronto on week days, and no matter whether we have cars on that day or not, the laws will be enforced on Sunday.There is no element in this city of any size or influence that desires an immoral Sunday, but there is a very large element which demands ordinary transportation facilities such as they enjoy on week days.This is all there is in the Sunday street car movement, and those who try to make more of it are simply distorting the proposition so as to make it appear repulsive.\u2014Toronto Star.Canadian Pacific Railway Dividend.Montreal, Aug.10\u2014At the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to-day, the usual half-yearly dividend of two per cent on the preference stock was declared, and a dividend of one per cent for the half-year on the ordinary stock.Although the results of working for the half-year have been satisfactory, the Directors deemed it prudent to take a conservative course in dealing with the interim dividend on the ordinary stock in view of the disturbed commercial and financial situation on this continent.Twaddle In Young Folks* Columns.It is well to induce the young to learn to express themselves in writing with correctness and ease ; but surely this can be done without putting their childish attempts in print.And the insane twaddle which most of those papers do print for these little prigs is simply disgusting.Lately one paper \u2018offered prizes for lists of all the kind words which the senders should say during a mouth, \u2014said lists to be published in full in its columns ! And they actually were published, and must have had & depressing effect upon the trade in emetics -Antigonish Casket.Queer Engllsl* (Notes and Queries.)

but these can almost always be looked for on a lacrosse field.The referee, Mr.H.Lougheed, was very strict and most impartial in his decisions.We hear that a return match will shortly be played on the

capable of turning out 6,000 bicycles yearly, and a similar factory at Puteaux, France.The Lozier Cycle Company, of Toledo, O., manufacturing the Cleveland wheel, was notified yesterday that It has

CODE OF SIGNALS.A COMPLETE SYSTEM ADOPTED BY FRENCH \u2022\tWHEELMEN.if \u2022 Bicyclists who indulge in club runs, or who travel in small parties along country roads, may profit from an idea which has been introduced in the bicycle clubs of France.In that country the whistle is much preferred to the bell as a means of alarm, and for club \u201cruns\u201d or use when more than two cyclists go touring.The wheelman has established a perfect code of signals, >n which he uses short and long sounds on his whitle.Some of these signals are :\u2014 Ordinary alarm, three short notes.Halt, one long-drawn note.\u201cCome ahead,\u201d or \u201cfollow me,\u201d two long notes.\u201cWhere are you or \u201cWe are here,\u201d three half long notes.\u201cTurn to the right,\u201d one long-drawn note, one short.\u201cTurn to the left,\" one long-drawn note, two short.\u201cLook out, there\u2019s danger ahead,\u201d ten sharp notes in quick succession.\u201cCall tor help,\u201d three short and one long note several times in succession.The signals are now pretty well understood among the clubs.It might benefit American cyclists to take the matter up and introduce a similar code of signals in this country.-* Washington Penny Weekly.THE SCORCHER\u2019S SONG.Sing hey ! the wild scorcher, he's out on the track\u2014 He\u2019s mounted his wheel and has humped up his back ; His saddle is high and his handles are low.And he\u2019s off down the road like a shot from a bow.He carries no lantern, he uses no bell, He bears down upon you with whoop and with yell ; The old ladies faint and the children all cry.And we all hold our breath when the scorcher goes by.Beware, then, young rider, so trembling and pale, The hard-ridiug scorcher is hard on yoar trail ;\t*r He sweeps round the corner\u2014a heartrending crash ! You roll io the gutter, he\u2019s gone like a flash.The streets of the city ne\u2019er cause him to flinch, He misses electrics by half of an inch ; Through the crowds on the crossings, gardlets, he glides, And the ambulance follows wherever ' rides.if.Ü, wild-riding scorcher, we hope when you die And depart for the land of the \u2018sweet by an\u2019 * by.\u2019 That then will be answeted the citizen\u2019s Sole Açfent* for tho following- mvke-t : \u2019 Columbias, E.& D, fomets, Warwicks Dayton, Hyslops, Massey Harris, Crescents.Antelope, 36 DIFFERENT MODELS, ALL PRICES.THE V.& B.SPORTING GOODS 00.Telephone 190.\t51 FABRIQUE STREET.Millions of violets, \u201csweeter than the lids c-f Juno\u2019s eyes,\u201d nestle at Grasse and Nice under the gray shadow of the orange groves, yet the 2UO,000 pounds of this flower sacrificed every year to tho flower press are not sufficient for the toilet.The perfumer is glad to fall back on the intense violet odor of \u201cCassie, sweet to tmell to smell,\u201d for sickly as its scent is when used alone, it gives the indispensable note to many bouquets, and is longer available than the violet, the blossoms of Acacia Garnesiaua being successive, while those of its better known floral ally are quickly over.There cannot be a greater contrast than that existing between the lowly tufts of the Parma violet, and the tree fifteen feet high, with its stem thick as a man\u2019s wrist, and its branches six feet long.Yet the blossoms have the same characteristic odor.Cassie, too, the flower farmer\u2019s latest crop, forms a fitting introduction to the violet harvest, occurring as the f >rmer does in November and December, while the purple shadow of the latter is not seen under the olives till the beginning of February.Both odors are obtained liy the charai teristic enfleurage system ; pure, inodorous lurd being placed on sheets of glass and covered with flower petals.Forty or fifiy of the trays are then piled on one another, till the lard is charged with their perfume, the flowers being changed from thirty to forty times before the pomade is considered sufficiently scented.\u2014Chamber*' Journal.ID IS-A-TH.Henderson\u2014On the 9th inst., at Ruisseau a l\u2019Eau Chaude, Gertrude Marion, only child of Walter H.Henderson, aged 7 years and three months.The funeral will leave her father\u2019s residence.No.26 Amable street, to-day (Tuesday), at p.m.Montreal Slav please copy.I March 21, 1896 The Secretary of State, if of the degree of Baron, follow the English and Irish Bishops.If these Secretaries are of tho degree of Baron they tul e precedence of all Barons.Yorkshire has the greatest railroad mileage in England.Next to it conies Lancashire.ANNIVERSARY SERVICE.The anniversary service of the late Mrs.Nora Maloney, wife of Mr.J.F.A.Langlais, will be sung in the Basilica, to-morrow (Wednesday) morning, the 12th instant, at 7 o\u2019clock.Eolations and friends are respectfully requested to attend.\t2 he prayer And you\u2019ll get all the over there.Women from the Turkish Harems.And there were other days without Mahmoud at Stenia, a few miles from Therapia, to which place I once took ship the daintiest little ship, all cushions and rugs, manned by two boatmen in white balloon trousers, with yards and yards of stuff to each leg, and Greek jackets embroidered with gold.And from Stenia to the \u201cSweet Waters of Asia,\u201d an Arabian Nights sort of place, with an exquisite Moorish fountain of marble, and great trees shading flocks and bunches of houris in white yashmaks and embroidered feredjés of mauve, yellow, and pink, out for an airing from their harems ; all on mats and rugs spread on the grass, attended by black eunuchs - as black as terrapins\u2019 paws, and as wrinkled and leathery.They chattered and laughed and munched bonbons and partook of rose-leaf jelly, sitting with their tiny feet lucked under them, Turkish fashion, their cigarettes perfuming the still air, until their caiques gathered them iu again, aud they all floated away like so many colored swans.You must not wander too near.Even a faith ful Turk turns his head away when he passes a woman ;
