millioi,aicp, Barney Barnalo, is interesting himself in tne British Colombia gold fields to the extent of sending agents to Canada to spy out the land cannot be ascertsined here.The officials at Barnato\u2019s Bank declined any information thereon this morning, but may have something to say later on.It is understood that negotiations of some kind have been ia progress, but information on the bare authenticity of Canadian mining promoters is accepted here with caution.CANADIAN APPLES IN DEMAND.Mr.W.N.White, of Covent Garden, re-porta to day an important advance in the demand for winter apples.Continental buyers have wired his firm for three thousand barrels of Canadian colored varieties at eleven shillings, for shipment this week.AN AMERICAN'S DEATH IN LONDON.Mrs.Alma Merritt, wife of George Wm.Merritt, of New York, died in this city on Saturday night, under circumstances that at first led to the belief that she had committed suicide.Mr.and Mrs.Merritt were stopping at the Hotel Cecil, on the Thames Embankment.Eirly Saturday evening Mrs.Merritt was found in a comatose condition in her bedroom.By her bedside were found two empty bottles that had contained laudanum.Physicians were summoned with all possible haste and they did everything that could be done to restore the woman to consciousness, but their efforts were in vain and she died in a short time.Mr.Merritt was present when his wife died.The Coroner was notified and the body was removed to the Parish Mortuary.A post mortem examination, which was held here to-dny, revealed the fact that death was caused by laudanum.It seems from all that can be learned that Mre.Merritt had for some time been a sufferer from neuralgia and had been in the habit of taking laudanum to relieve the pain.It is supposed that she accidentally took an overdose of the drug.ANGLO-LIBERIAN DIFFICULTY.Liverpool, Nov.16\u2014The trouble between Great Britain and the Republic of Liberia is apparently assuming a phase that will call for vigorous measures on the part of the former.The British steamer \u201cBenin\u201d has arrived here from the west coast of Africa and reports that she was not allowed by the Liberian authorities to communicate with Cape Palmas.As the \u201cBenin\u201d approached that place she was fired upon by the \u201cGoro-namsh,\u201d the sole vessel comprising the navy of Liberia.The reasons for the refusal of permission for the \u201cBenin\" to call at Cape Palmas and for the action of the Liberian gunboat are unknown.A FATAL MARITIME DISASTER.Paris, Nov.16 \u2014 The French schooner \u201cAndre,\u201d from St.Pierre, Miq., for St.Malo, has been wrecked on Point Des Baleines.None of her crew have been heard of and it is supposed that they were all drowned.THE SPANISH NATIONAL LOAN.Madrid, Nov.16\u2014The greatest eagerness is displayed by all classes of Spaniards to subscribe for the new national loan.There has been a great rush of people at the offices in this city for the Bank of Spain, which is handling the loan, all anxious to subscribe for the new Dsue.The bank was open yesterday in order to accommodate would be subscribers and it was found that tho ordinary facilities were not sufficient to transact its business.Twenty special counters were therefore put in use.The bank and its various branches in the principal cities of Spain had alone received subscriptions to the amount of 241,000,000 pesetas up to noon yesterday.It is estimated that the total applications at ter.o\u2019clock this morning amounted to over 350,000,000 pesetas.The amount of the loan is 250,000,000 pesetas, about $50,000,000, and there is no doubt that the issue will be largely over-subscribed for, owing to the unusual methods employed to arouse the patriotism of the people.At ten o\u2019clock to-night the subscriptions here and in the Provinces to the new loan amounted to 509,000.000 pesetas.The great success of the loan causes enthusiasm everywhere.A SENSATIONAL ELOPEMENT.Romk, Nov.16\u2014Newspapers here publish reports of a sensational elopement which has caused a great scandal in the highest society.Princess Elvira, daughter of Don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, recently came to Rome to visit her sister, Princess Massimo.She met Count Folchi, an artist who is a married man with a family, and fell in love with him, with the result that they ran away together.Princess Elvira took with her her jewels, which are valued at$60,-000.The whereabouts of the couple are unknown.LOAN GUARANTEED.A.M.7.80 Mixed to Beauce Jet.ft St.Francis.P.M.1.39

rifle balls.It is more deadly than any of tho much dreaded epi-demies.Fully one - sixth of all the deaths in America are caused by consumption.It is a stealthy, gradual, slow disease.It penetrates the whole body.It is in every drop of blood, it seems to work only at the lun^s, but the terrible drain and waste go on all over the hotly.The only way to get rid of consumption is to work on the blood, make it pure, rich and wholesome, build up the wasting tissues, put the both' into condition for a fight with the dread disease.The cure of consumption is a fight\u2014a fight between sound tissues

Quincy, L.N and sugar each lost one [>oint.No serious liquidation has begun, and on the present break the market looks a purchase.Wo can now especially recommend Pacific Mail, which is the only active stock showing a gain to-day.This stock advanced to 2tQc, but left off ^c lower, with a gain of He for the session.It is reliortetl that this stock will noW leaUtrte dividend on a 4 i>er ctfrtt basis, and il that be true It is art extl-ertlely Cheap purchase at the present figures.Iho eal-ly declaration of a quarterly 'dividend of 1 iter Cent is confidently looked for.V hen it comes the stock should advance quickly to the vicinityof 40.This company\u2019s subsidies are fixed and certain, and it cannot be adversely affected by legislation.We believe it one of the very favortVble purchases now.New York Market Review\u2014New York, Nov 16-Traders and London bought stock Saturday on bank statement, but sold more war talk, the leading interests thought the market would be feverish this IVebk aim without 6 decided rtlOvertient with a best.ehancb for making profits in purchases onweak spots.Large buying orders placed in London lately makes alliance 111 seaboard air line, insiders talk bullish on Western Union, predicting 95 for stock._ It is understood nojincreasejis likely onRfl dividend until next harvest Negotiations continue for settle ment with tobacco war but progress slow.Likelihood of a dividend on Pacific Mail taken to men, Mr.Huntington willing to co operate in advancing stock.Northern Pacific securities not likely to be ready for delivery this week.Union Pacific statement shows receivers continue to divert money into property out of earnings.The bank statement up to expectations, return of currency from the country m?ans continuance of growth in deposits.Chicago Market Review\u2014Chicago, Nov Ifl \u2014Early cables showed no decline at Liverpool, and there was a higher flour market in Paris, in cousiequence the early curb market was above Saturday\u2019s close, and it was n*t until the North West car lois were posted that the market showed weakness.These were much heavier than last week, and caused general selling by timid holders.Receipts here and in the North-West were 1,303 cars against 1,072 Hst week, and 1,796 last year.There was considerable wheat taken early for shipments, 50,000 bushels going to Cleveland, 30,000 to Sandusky and 150,000 No 2 hard in store at Burlington going to Baltimore, one exporter in the latter city wirel that he had sold Duluth wheat to-day to Loti-don at the h'ghest price yet reached.San Francisco wired that the highest prices on the crop were made in that market on Saturday withstanding the weakness in Chicago, independent strength on the Pacific coast is of course due to the heavy export demand.There was a rumor that a hundred vessels had left foreign shores to load grain cn the Pacific coast.The Viceroy of India states officially that no rain has fallen in the drought districts, but the situation in the Punjab is not as alarming as heretofore reported.The world\u2019s ex- Eurts for the past week were about one million ushels larger than a week ago, and the amount on ocean passage increased 1,210,000 bushels.There would have been bearish factors were it not for the fact that the increased shipments were from the United States.They seem to have been given a bearish construction, because so largo a percentage of our exports were from the Pacific coast.Second and closing cables from Liverixiol were each a penny lower, and this contributed to the weakness here.The Minneapolis market record says that peoplewho are counting on a hundred million bushels ci*h> in the North-West will be disappointed.It says that the receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth have already been 56,000,000 and there are serious complaints that the snow came too early as to interfere with the threshing where these stocks are threshed and the grain added to re serves now in farmer\u2019s hands,the quantity yet to come forward will tire the people who base speculation upon the belief in a hundred million bushs crop.The visible supply increareis 1,080,-0C0 bushels, this is leas than \\ the third of the increase a year ago, but it is al>*ut twice what was expected.The active cash demand from points that have not heretofore bought in this market indicates that the area of short supplies is extending and the demand on visible stocks is constantiy enlarging.Near the close of the session wheat suddenly advanced to 78$ for December on reports of a large cash business done here, and an Argentine cable claiming that one-third of the Argentine crop had been destroyed.The price immediately fell back ta 77$ but recovered partial y and closes quite strong.Corn, the corn was very dull and the trade almost en tirely local ; oats easier on light speculation.Prices declimd slowly in sympathy with other grains.Provisions, the market has been nuite heavy.There were 58,000 hogs received here, and 83.000 at seven western points.The hog market was 10c lower.There was considerable selling by packers,and Geddes & K'rkwood sold everything on the list, a portion of their sales were supposed to be for foreign account.Brokers bought rib* sparingly, but the demand for product was light and prices declined most of the session.(SPECIALLY PREPARED FOR THE \u201cMORNING CHRONICLE.\u201d) J.S.PAQUET, BROKER, 189 Mountain Hill Street.Quotes the Opening, Highest, Lowest and Closing prices in Chicago and New York, Monday, Nov.16th, as follows : Chicago Market.Union Pacific ,ll ;

to invest in mining property would do well to consult any of the experts named, all of whom are men of standing and whose reports may be relied upon.These mervare all familiar with every property in the camp and vicinity.They can tell, in the first place, whether any par ticular property is a mine or a prospect They have visited all the claims and have an intimate expert knowledge of outputs, quality of ore, probable cost of development, best method ot treatment, and other essentials to forming a correct estimate of values.Parties desiring to invest in stocks cannot do better than consult the brokers named, and thus save from one to two cents brokerage fees charged by eastern firms in addition to securing the advice of thoroughly reliable men who are acquainted with all properties in this district.A great deal of money has been sunk in properties in the neighborhood of this camp that will in all probability never return to the original investors.This is not because the mining properties referred to are not good, but rather because they have been badly managed by inexperienced men.There are instances where tunnels have been constructed running parallel to the vein, and in this manner large sums of money actually thrown away, where an experienced manager could have used it to great advantage.The first essential to good mining is a good mine.This, however, ia practically valueless without a competent manager, whose duty it is to locate the veins and direct how the property shall he operated.I met a gentleman here last week who owns a sue oetsful drug business in an eastern oity.He controls one of the largest praspects in this district.The property is close to the rail road, the experts have reported on it most favorably, the ore has assayed at.a high figure, development work has been vigorously pushed, and yet no dividends have keen forthcoming.I was asked to visit the pro perty and mention it in my reports.I went all over it and could not understand what was vrong until I asked who was managing it.\"I am myself.\u201d replied the druggist, Have you any experience in practical min ing ?\u201d was the next question.\"Oh, no.One does not require it.Any man can run a tun net or sink a shaft when he has the ore,\" said the maker of pills.His friends who have invested with him are not likely to see their money again, although the best mining authorities in the camp agree he has splendid property.Brokers here are aware pf su^h facts and are in a position to post their customers and protect them.I may mention another ossa wljer® money has likely been lost by outsiders not familiar with t,he properties of this district.Some six weeks ago there appeared a flaming advertisement in the Eastern papers, setting forth the good features of a so-called mine, Slid to be situated on Red Mountain in the Rossland district, whose tunnel opened upon the Columbia ~ftiver; *\tthe Columbia River is at least seven wilfeS frgrt) Prt«larid and eight from lha Red Mountain.The'paj.ties referred to may have a mine, and a good one, bnt it is not on the Rossland Red Mountain, and experts here know nothing of it.The property referred to is some nine miles down the river from Trail and not within the Ross-land belt.The parlies who purchased this stock from Eastern broksrs might have saved their money had they dealt direct with brokers here.(fhere are certain properties here that arc considered absolutely safe, namely, the Le Roi, War Eagle, Northern Relie, Columbia and Kootenay, O.K , Great Western, Monita, Centre Star, West Le Hoi and Josie.Jumbo, Novelty, St.Paul, Homestake and Iron Colt, The latter has made a great showing within thejpast ten days, and has thoroughly estab ILhôd it^ plaim as a mine.: More than half j.he population of the camp is composed of Americans, fhe /act was disclosed on the evening of November !)rd, when tlip wjldeat excitement prevailed because of the election ip the {ini^ed States.Though this is a gold camp the tide of interest and sympathy seemed to flow with Bryan.jÇvery beer hall in the tiwn W49 crowded by eager throngs who shouted themselves hpapsp when retUf us favorable to Bryan were announced.Late at night the returns indicated Bryan\u2019s defeat, but tbe crowd vvoulfi no{ accept the ver-diet, claiming that the wires were In the hand* of the monied classes and the truth was

other medicine has such a record < cures as Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla, because New York, Nov.16\u2014Curfew must toll to\" night, and, indeed, every night ; that is the ordinance which Mrs.John D.Townsend wishes the New York Board of Aldermen to Îass.As already told in the Herald, Mrs.\u2019ownsend has become firmly convinced that the streets at night are a breeding place for juvenile crime, and she holds that it parents do not protect their children from this contamination the city ought to interfere.She therefore urges that » curfew bell be rung at nine o\u2019clock every night, and that all children found upon the streets after that hour without proper guardianship should be arrested.What is the curfew ?Its etymology carries its history with it.The word comes from the French comre-Jeu (cover fire), a hell tolled at evening as a signal to the inhabitants to cover fires, extinguish lights and retire to rest.It is erroneously said to have bcenjinstituted in England by William the Conqueror aa an arbitrary bit of tyranny, ami the nursery historian has waxed sentimental over the wrongs of the conquered Saxon, and conjured up pictures that must be balm to the downtrodden Celt.Even Thomp son tells us : \u2014 The shivering wretches at the curfew sound Dejected sunk into their sordid beds.But the convre.-ftn was known before William\u2019s time, both in England and on the Continent.He did, Jndéed, issue an edict on the subject, and althongh this edict may incidentally have helped to put down the Sixon beer clubs, which wero hotbeds of political conspiracies, its primary aim was a precaution against tire.Thai danger was an ever present one in those days of chimneyless wooden houses.The ancient city ordinances of London abound in stringent fire regulations.None of them, however, was more effective than the \"cover fire\u201d bell, which us far back as the time of King Alfred was rung in certain places in England William\u2019s edict rendered compulsory an ancient custom.But it was a wise legislative act and not a bit of arbitrary tyranny.We find plenty of early traces of the custom or its equivalent, as, for instance, the blowing of a horn at the market place in Continental Europe.It is a curions instance of the conservative tendency of the rural mind in England that the custom of ringing the curfew should have so long survived its original significance.CURFEW IS MODERN ENGLAND.Curfew is ftill religiously tolled in many hundreds of towns and villages, cither all the year around or\u2014vhich is qtill tfiore ufeunl\u2014 from September to April.No part of the Kingdom oan claim it as a special proof of its adherence to a primitive simplicity, Geogra-, phioally considered, ite survivals are by no means uninstruotive.It tolls from the Isle of Wight in the south, through Kent and Surrey, Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincoln, York, Durham and Northumberland, and even across the border, in the Scotch lowlands.And it can be traced again through Cumberland and Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Stafford, Notts, Leicestershire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, Hertfordshire, Monmouthshire, down to Devon and Dorset.It is, in short, perpetuated all over the Kingdom.Here and there it has become identified with local customs.At Newcastle, until it was discontinued, it was the signal for shutting the shops.At Durham, again (where it is tolled at nine o\u2019clock), it heralds tho closing of the College gates : while in many Cheshire and Yorkshire villages it has for hundreds of years warned farmers to lock up their cattle for the night.The almost universal hour at which it is tolled is eight o'clock ia the eve.iing, although here and there it is rung instead at seven and nine o'clock.In some places, too, there is a morning curfew, a curious variation.At Slow, for iusUuoc, it is, or was lately, rung as early as four o'clock in the morning, and at Tamworth at the more reasonable hour of six o\u2019clock.At Waltham iu the Wolds, agaiu, a grateful fanner, who was lost in the snow and found his way home by its sound, left a field to endow a five o\u2019clock curfew forever.C.P.Champion, TRADE BOOKS, BUSINESS LEDGERS Acffnt.No.66 St.Peter Street, Quclxsc.m TKIiEPIOIE Is.75.Harper's Bazar.IN 1890, The twenty-ninth year of Harper's Bazar, be* ginning in January,
