the day and greatly obstracted business.The civil guard having failed to quell the disorders a state of siege has been decided.At 10 o'clock to-night the rioters set fire to a tool hut in the streets, the guards charged the mob and drove them away and wounded several.Another mob attacked the printing office where the proclamation declaring the siege was being printed, and the troops were called out.Similar outrages are reported from Saragossa, Sextas and Alicante.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 LONDON BANQUET TO STANLEY.The Prince of Wales Gives Him Thanks Loxpon, May 2.\u2014Mr.H.M.Stanley was entertained at a reception to-night by the Emin Relief Committee.The Prince of Wales presided.Among those present were the Princess of Wales and her daughter, Princess Victoria, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Christian, Princes Albert Victor and George of Wales, the Duke of Fife, the Lord Mayor and a host of other notables.The Prince of Wales welcomed Mr.Stanley in the name of the people of England, who, he said, were glaa to accord their hearty greeting to the illustrious traveler.Mr.Stanley tried to speak but his voice was drowned for several moments by cheers.When quiet was resjored he said his position was a difficult one in addressing those assembled, the committee hampering his freedom in regard to what he should say.He defended the route he had chosen and paid tribute to the devotion and courage of his associates, of whom he could have dispensed with none, When Emin was relieved the second time, he said, his so-called subjects had revolted against him four timee, relief therefore came at a very critical period.The Prince of Wales proposed a vote of thanks to Stanley, which was carried by acclamation.LYNCHING PARTIES SADLY WANTED, BerurN, May 2.\u2014The streets of Hamburg are infested at night by gangs of robbers whose depredations have made pedestrianism at late hours extremely unsafe.The police seem powerless, and the citizens are about to take matters into their own hands and deal summarily with every fooipad caught.LABOR RIOTS IN FRANCE.Paris, May 2.\u2014The strike at Rouleau is extending to adjacent counties.The strikers attacked Holden\u2019s factory, at Croix.They shatterad all the windows and had nearly «ffected an entrance when the troops arrived and drove them off.The mob then proceeded to the telegraph office and gutted it.BALFOUR'S SPEECH PRAISED, Loxpon, May 2.\u2014Mr.Balfour's brilliant speech on the Irish land purchase bill in the House of Commons last night immensely aided the bill and greatly added to his own reputation as an orator.The speech was markedly fres from the biting sarcasm and incisive invective which usually characterize the efforts of the Irish Secretary.His political opponents have freely joined in extending their congratulations.THE WAY TO MAKE A RIOT.Hamsure, May 2\u20149,000 workingmen were dismissed by their employers today for absenting themselves from their duties

of Emin, has joined Emin\u2019s expedition.* HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF.\u201d Lonpon, May 2\u2014The severe snub which the Marquis of Hartington administered to Mr.Chamberlain last night, supplies evidence that the recent breach between them, growing out of the question of the leadership of the Unionist party, in the absence of Lord Harting- ton, is not only not healed but is not likely to be.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.Disendowment Defeated im the Come .mons.Loxpox, May 2.\u2014In the House of Commons this evening Dr.Charles Cameron, member of the College Division of Glasgow, moved to disestablish and disendow the Church of Scotland.Mr.Gladstone spoke in support of the motion.Lord Hartington regretted the new position which Mr.Gladstone had taken, and expressed himself as unable to agree with the Liberal leader on this question.The motion was rejected by 250 to 218, \u201cBRITAIN'S MIGHTY DEAD.\u201d Question of Interments in Westminster.Loxpox, May 2\u2014The question of prohibiting further interments in Westminster Abbey has assumed au aspect which promises the success of those who have long believed that the practice should cease.À committee has been appointed to consider the matter of selecting a special place for the burial of distinguished persons, which shall be under the exclusive control of the Abbey, and interment therein regarded as conferring the same depree of honor on the dead as burial in the Abbey has hitherto done.The plans of the committee also contemplate the removal to the new burial place of all the bodies now resting in the Abbey.FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL.TRADES AND LABOR COUNCIfg Orrawa, May 2.\u2014At the regular meeting of the Trades and Labor Council of Ottawa, held last evening, it was decided to call a special meeting of the Council for the 16th inst., at which a Provincial labor platform would be submitted, and the advisability of putting a candidate in the field considered.Action was taken to bring before the Dominion Government the rates of wages paid by contractors on public contracts, and to get legislation introduced covering it.MONTREAL SATURDAY.MAY 3, 1890 SUBSCRIPTION $6.00 PER

estate, re the signing off to the Corporation of that portion of the estate left to the city by the firat Mr.Wright for the purpose of a court house and jail will report.At present the situation is this.The first Mc.Wright left the Corporation by a clause in bis will some.four acres of land un what 18 now Main street, between Dr.Beaudin\u2019s and the post office, land worth little then, but now valued at about $20,000.For a long time the land lay there unused and known as Court House reserve.Tbe Corporation supposed they owned it, but recently when they came to take possession to build the court house and jail they found that the heirs of the estate disputed possession.As the Corporation had no deed or title except the clause in the will, they had no other course than to go to law or to try to effect a compromise.The latter plan was adopted, they offering the estate to relinquish their claim if a quarter of the property (about an acre) was handed over to them.It is on this point that the committee will report.Mrs.Dr.Scott has already signed.There are some Bix others to sign.A bill was recently passed by the Quebec House transferring the court house and jail from Aylmer to Hull and if a settlement is made building operations will be begun at once.The Gov- erpment has given a grant of $10,000, and the corporation has debentures for $15,000 lying in the city safe ready to be floated.The total cost will be almost £35,600.If the heirs of the Wright estate refuse to sign 1t 18 probable the city will go to law.The customs duty collected here last month was $33,827; inland revenue, $16,- 397.ST.CATHARINES MILLING CO.Mr.Justice Burbidge sat in the Exchequer Court this morning to hear the appeal of the St.Catharines Mills and Lumber Company vs.the Queen.As the case was

Temptations.\u201d Lonpox, May 2.\u2014A magnificent reception will be tendered to Mr.Stanley next week, on which occasion he will be welcomed by a most distinguished gathering.The statement that Stanley intends -to become a British subject is unfounded.It is undoubtedly true that he had thought of doing so, but he is advised that his naturalization would in all probability vitiate the American copyright of his latest and most important book, and will not take the risk.They Want the General.LoxpoN, May 2.\u2014The correspondent of the Standard in Paris asserts that the friends of

closely their present position.There may come a time, he says, when labor will be too strong for capital, and may use its strength unjustly, but capital will surely hold its own.He wished to see labor and art alleviate and adorn the life of man.the parties were not ready to proceed À PETTY JEALOUSY.Senatorial Recommendation About: .Canadian Competition.BOUNTIES T0 U.§.STEAMSHIP LIKES.Chicago Moulders Strike Occasions a Riotous Display.TO STUP CANADIAN COMPETITION.Recommendations of the Inter-State Committee.Wasurxeros, May 2\u2014Mr.Cullom, from the interstate commerce committee, presented to the Senate to-day the report of the committee on the investigation made by direction of the Senate into the relations of Canadian railways with United States railways ; the effect or influence of Canadian railways on the enforcement of the inter-state commerce law, etc.After an extended review of the testimony taken at the various places the committee says : That the denial of the priveleges of transit trade to fish caught by American fishermen, the refusal to allow American fishing vessels to seek shelter when in distress in Canadian ports and harbors of refuge, the refusal to allow American fishing vessels to trade in Canadian ports as freely as Canadian vessels are allowed to trade in American ports, is IN OPEN VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 3 of the Treaty of Peace concluded between the United States and Great Britain, etc.The diversion of our commerce from American steamship lines on the Pacific and from the Pacific seaports of the United States seems to demand special attention and action by Congress.The difficulty to be met is not one alone of commercial competition on the part of the United States, but aims directly against the Governmental policy, having in view the wresting of American commerce from American sbips, American ports, etc.The committee recommends that so long as the entrance fee of 50c, and clearance fee of 50c, or $1 every time an American vessel visits a Canadian port, on the Great Lakes or their tributaries, is demanded, all ° CANADIAN VESSELS SHOULD PAY LIKE FEES in ports of the United States.It is recommended that so long as discriminating tolls of 18¢ per ton on products of the United States in favor of Montreal or ports below that city on the St.Lawrence is made by the Dominion Government a DISCRIMINATING TOLL ON CANADIAN YVES- SELS shall be imposed upon all such vessels every time they pass through the Sault Ste.Marie Canal.The committee recommends that either such a license system shall be established as will be applicable to Canadian railroads doing business in the United States, or that some other plan not injurious to the general trade and commerce of the country be adopted, which shall eecure to American railroads an equal chance in competing with the Canadian railroads, such action, in the judgment of the committee, is in interest not only of American railroads, and especially trans-continental lines, but in interest of Américan commerce and of the general prosperity of the American people.Mr.Platt dissented from the views of the committee, OPENIRG FOR U.8S.CAPITALISTS.Bounties for Lines of Ocean Steamers.\u2018WasaINGTON, May 2.\u2014The President this afternoon approved the bill provid ing for the establishment of a temporary Government in the territory of Oklahoma.Senator Frye will report to-morrow from the committee on commerce, having already been authorized to do 80, the bill known as the \u201cShipping League Tonnage\u201d bill already favorably reported from the committee on Merchant Marine of the House of Representatives.He will also, to-morrow, report a bill to provide for ocean mail service between tLe United States and foreign ports and to promote commerce, which has been known as the Frye bill.Senator Frye has reason to believe that if the bill shall become law the finest line in the world will be built and put on between New York and Liverpool at the earliest day possible, also that a line of second class steamships will be established between New York and the Rio de La Platte, also lines from the Pacific coast to Japan, China and Australia.The bill in no wise conflicts with the tonnage bill, also reported, and there is a provision in the bill that the steamship employed under it shall not receive any other bounnoty or subsidy from the Treasury of the United States.The strength of the bill is the matter of encouragement to capital to invest in the new lines lies in the fact that a contract for ten years is provided for ; also in the fact that these lines are permitted to receive, from the nation to which they carry mails, additional pay.\u2014\u2014# ATTACKED BY THE STRIKERS.A Riot by Chicago Moulders.Curcaco, May 2.\u2014The number of moulders out on strike is estimated at 3,000; 1,800 were employed at the Chicago Malleable IronWorks.The manager of this establishment said he expected tbe strike would be settled today and work resumed to-morrow morning.Everything was quiet at the stock yards up to two O'clock this afternoon.The butchers\u2019 laborers and coopers did pot go out, and hence the special police stationed bad nothing to do.Shortly before one o'clock a number of non-union moulders, who were being conveyed in a waggon to McCormick\u2019s harvester works, were attacked by strikers at Blue Island Ave and 32nd Street.The windows in the \u2019bus were broken, and several of the occupants were injured.The driver dodged the rocks which were aimed at him, and, lashing bis horses, succeeded in escaping.À report of the assault was telephoned to the Police Station, and a squad of officers sent to the works, All of the factories and shops along the Black road were closed this afternoon and business on tbat celebrated thoroughfare was at a complete standstill.By 8 a m.s0 many of the employees of McCormiek factory had left work so that it was impossible to keep the works running and the steam was shut off The works will not be started again until the troubles have been adjusted.Crrcaco, May 2.\u2014The striking moulders bave made no efforts to procure a meeting with ihe employers, and the fatter are in ignorance of what is demanded.The bulk of the men do not geem to know their own mind, and say they struck because they were ordered by their leaders to do so.The whole affair bas the appearance of being a simple case of strike fever.The authorities apprehend no further disturbances.The men employed at the \u201cGood Will \u201d box factory struck for eight hours this morning.At noon their demands were acceded to and they returned to work.The men at the Cooper Lumber Co.'s yards were also victorious.The firm agreed to grant the eight hour day and the men went to work at noon.Four hundred men employed by Demma & Durkas, furniture factory, struck to-day for eight hours.700 men employed by the Chicago Cottage Organ Company are also affected by the strike fever and refuse to work until granted the eight hour day.Troublegis brewing in the lumber yards and the prospects are that unless granted eight hours and more pay, the lumber shovers\u2014several thousand men\u2014will quit work.If they strike it will shut down most of the yards and cripple the southwestern lumber trade.The nnion waiters are also threatening to strike unless certain demands are eomplied with.MANITOBA AND THE NORTHWEST.THE N.P.ROBBING THE POOR MAN'S LOAF.Wixnirea, Man,, May 2.\u2014Flour went up 30 cents to-day, an increase of 80 cents within three weeks.The reasons of the rise are the increased demand in the lower Provinces, occasioned by shutting out American flour through high duties and general improvement of the Eastern wheat and flour markets.CULTIVATION OF BEET.M.Villmon, projector of the White- wood Beet Sugar factory, has forwarded to the farmers of that district a large quantity of beet seed for experimental purposes Euring the

dele« gatas to London received at the hands of the House of Commons, the question of federation is booming in Australla to such an extent as to compel the recognition of the principle by the home Government at no very distant date.In furtherance of the object, a convention has been called to meet in a few weeks to formulate a federal constitution and perfect plans for its adoption by the various sections.Debt on Albert College.BELLEVILLE, May 2.\u2014An appeal is being made on behalf of Albert college, the debt on which, although it pays running expenses, has increased from $20,000 at the union to $30,000 now.This is owing to a revenue of $2,000 per year having been cut off by the union.A public meeting on the subject will be held on Tuesday night.Mr.G.W, Ostrom, M.P.P,, was unani

highest success has been reacbed by learning this art at piece-meal study, and while pursuing other occupations.The success of stenographers as compared with the success of young men in any vocation in life, will be seen to be marvelous and encouraging.The author of this system was himself a farmer's boy and learned the art while following the plow.The information be gives in this pamphlet will

Orrawa, May 2.A LAME EXPLANATION.The firat business of the House to-day to listen to an explanation made by ww Wood, of Westmoreland.Certain charged him with being or ally interested in the Cape Torm- ailway.His explanation simply anted to a statement that he only = in the interest of the people and nat for his own personal beneñt.BOUNTY ON PIG IRON.jtem thirteen on the order paper called a motion by Mr.Foster that the House should go into committee to consider 8 resolution to provide for a ty of two dollars a ton on pig iron maonfactured in Canada from Canadian or besween July 1st, 1892, and June 20h, 1597, inclusive.In support of this msde a lengthy speech, in which he clsimed that this move was but an ex- ension of the policy adopted in 1853.Ho claimed that in the development of the ron industry in all countries it was feund necessary to extend similar aid.I» Canada there was a duty of $1 a ton and this bounty of $2 would make the total assistance about $5 a ton towards the manufacture of pig iron.Sir Richard Cartwright condemned the move as another drain upon the people.He declared that no duty was ealculatod i do more harm than these duties on iron, the article in most common vse,and consequently the burden of taxation would be widespread.He pointed out the great danger of increasing the num- per of specific duties.If this industry smounted to anything at all the country would be saddled with a duty which no one could doubt would soon become glarming.Mr.Davies added to this protest ainst an unfair tax.He turned up s fow of the Premier's promises when te commenced his policy of taxation.Inno case could he find any reason to believe that these promises had been carried out.Sir John\u2019s promises in connection with the iron industry were shown to have been merely election dodges, and yet in face of all these broken promises he asked the House to still further tax this industry and so place the success of the Canadian at a still more distant date.Mr.McDougall, of Picton, did not make a speech, but read what sounded like an essay upon iron.At any rate it had but little to do with the question at issue.A speech made by Mr.Watson and a hasty reply by Mr.Daly was the cause of what nearly proved to be the * scene\u201d of the season.The Speaker, however, sat on Daly, and he quieted down, after taking back any unparliamentary words which he had made use of.Then (to use a familiar Commons phrase) the discussion took a wide range, - When Mr.Casey rose he dealt first with the efforts of Mr.Daly to prove that he was a real Conservative representative.Then he battled with the iron industry, and came out squarely in opposition to the proposed move, on the und that, if it was right to give a ounty to iron manufacturers, it was only yvight to treat farmers in the same way and give them a bounty for whatever goods they were able to ship to other countries.Mr.Kenny then occupied the floor until the Speaker left the chair at six o'clock.JOHN CHARLES RYKERT RESIGNS.When the House met after recess there remained but one private bill on the orders of the day sheet.This was passed, and just as the orders of the day were about to be called Mr, Rykert arose amid profound silence.He once referred to the scandal which forced the Commons to ask the committee on privileges and elections to sit day after day and to wade through piles of correspondence and listen to witness aftsr witness before recommending the resolutions gbould be passed, and which resolutions declared tne conduct of J.C.Rykert to be DIECREDITABLE, CORRUPT AND SCANDALOUS, Mr.Rykert complained that he had not had fair play and gave as his reason for this that no specific charge had been formulated and, therefore, it was unfair that he should be called upon to defend himself just because a lot of private correspondence had been made public.He then started to criticise the methods which the committee had adopted and the conclusion to which they were ar- ing, Mr.Blake at once rose to a point of order- and reminded Rykert that he must not speak of the doing of so and Bo by the committee before that committee had reported to the House.The Speaker agreed with this and Rykert continued, but spoke for but few minutes.He claimed that since the vents spoken of by the witnesses and which had been charged against hig character, had taken place, he had passed through two Parliaments, and that when elected his constituents knew the whole facts¥of the case.But, he Said, \u201cin view of what has lately taken Place I feel that I can no longer occupy a seat in this House, but that it is my duty to return to the electors who sent me here.Mr.Speaker as à 1 po D8 MY RESIGNATION member of Parliament for Lin 1 County.» he finish ing bo ed speaking h slowly on the Chamber, and the House P ces ed with the business of the even- The debate un which had throat hours was dropped nto committee an gotine I ounty on pig iron, ned to last some and the House went wénont any further Te resolution e act for b Do certain fishermen oF Securing safety of With but little discussion, {ta 3rd reading, he bill to amend bo J dispensed with lls (Bothwell), took exception Lo \" 8use which requires that g steam.a gincor must reside three years in Ho 8 before getting a license.\u201cTo this of Mar Colby, who ig acting Minister beep 00 88id that the same law had M.pacted in thé US, We Cotes \"Then this is retaliation ?ne y\u2014No, it is reciprocity.those vie itoholl Was very severe upon person ed to discriminate against e clair s wished to come into Canada.UDjus; 1c at this bill proposed an busing, Crirence with the shipping Hon, ProvidinColby Proposed an amendment On vesselg at Engineers having served Canaca shall Eetered in England and 8 short gigey a UY qualified.There S=\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014__8810n upon this and the steamboat act quite so easily.clause was adopted.Thue bill stands over for further consideration., The banking bill was again discussed in committee of the whole.The first clause taken up was that referring to unclaimed balances in banks.Hon.Mr.Foster proposed that a list of unclaimed balances and dividends should ba forwarded to Government at the end of every five years.Mr.Tisdale contended that this period was too short and that in any case no amounts should be mea- tioned.Mr.Mitchell took the same stand ani urged that it would be well to let the clause stand over for future consideration.Sir Donald Smith addressed the committee at considerable length.He could \u201cnot agree with the clause as it stood, bu: would advocate that the time should be extended to at least ten years.If, on the other hand, Mr.Foster could not see his way clear to dothis, he would ask that the clause be struck out altogether.The discussion lasted until tweive o'clock, and a very large number of members made known their views.They were pretty well divided in opinion, although the majority favored Mr.Foster's amendment.Mr.Kirkpatrick moved that the term of years be made ten years.The majority opposed this and Foster's amendment carried.The House adjourned at 12.10.SESSIONAL NOTES.Companion Picture to the Scandal.(SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.) Orrawa, May 2.\u2014Francis Bros, o Pakenham, have sold to Saxe Bros., of Albany,N.Y., the Whitefish Lake, Indian Reserve.The transfer was tinisued yesterday and the price was about one hundred vhousand dollars.This reserve was sold some two years ago by the protectors of Indian reserves, Sir John\u2019s present Cabinet, for $316, The purchaser was Robillard, M.P., and within this short space of time it becomes worth the above large amount.EQUAL RIGHTS CANDIDATE, The Equal Righters had a fairly well attended meeting in St.James hall tonight.Mr.Dan Donaldson was chosen to contest the coming local electign.A deputation waited on him and he has accepted the nomination.THE COMBINE BILL FARCE, The bill to amend the Combines bill is dead.It was killed in the banking and commerce committee of the Senate this morning.There were many men present irrespective of the committee who favored the move as given in yesterday\u2019s Hrrarp.Among them were the officers of the Central Farmers\u2019 Institute ; J.A.Matheson, Montreal, and J.T, Carey, the labor representative.These gentlemen urged upon the commiitee the great necessity of amending the present laws so that they may prove more effective.The witnesses were heard with, for this Bykert committee, patience, but their evidence was far from bearing upon the actual amendment, viz, to strike out the words \u201cunduly\u201d and \u2018\u201c unreasonably\u201d There was a tendency to discuss the merits of the Combines Act, but this was soon stoppsd, and the committee began to talk among themselves and consider what they should do.There was only one course open\u2014 to vote either for or against the bill, The vote proved a crusher.There were eighteen members present, and fifteen of them voted that the bill should not pass committee.The three who said yea were Messrs.McCallum, Wark and Robitaille.Mr.Wallace read telegrams from grocers in Montreal, Sherbrooke and elsewhere, but neither this nor his own \u201c stickitiveness\u201d did him any good, and the bill drops out of sight.A FALSE \u201cWITNESS,\u201d The Montreal Witness reiterates its statement that the Rev.Father Whelan of this city supported Mackintosh in the recent election for the purpose of defeating Hay.In an interview to-day Mr.Whelan said: \u201cI voted for Chrysler; I never told anybody that I voted or intended to vote for Mackintosh; I never advised or asked anybody to vote for Mackintosh.The Witness\u2019 statements regarding myself are a tissue of falsehoods.I hope that this is sufficient.\u201d MOWAT READY FOR TIE FRAY.The Hon.Oliver Mowat arrived in the city to-day.He looks well and expresses himself as ready for the coming fight.It is understood that he is here simply for a fow days rest.POLITICAL NOTES.Facts and Rumors Obscuring the Political Horizon.It is now generally understood that Hon.Mr.Duhamel will not, as certain papers choose to say, accept a position as judge of the Court of Review.He will continue in the political arena, but, instead of presenting himself in his old constituency, Iberville, will run for La- prairie, Mr.Goyette, the present Nationalist member, having already expressed hisintention not to run again.Montreal, a gentleman who is well informed on the political situation stated to a HeraLp representative yesterday that there was no deubt, whatever, that Ald, Rainville would present himself tor that constituency in the interest of the Liberal party.Dr.Prevost, of St.Jerome, has been definitely selected as the candidate for Terrebonne in opposition to Mr.Nantel.This is the same Dr.Prevost who gave Mr.Chapleau such a close run on a previous occasion, and he is now acknowledged to be one of the most popular men in the county.A convention of Nationalists will be held next week in Beauharnois, when, it is understood, Mr: Daniel Bergevin will be requested to present himself as a candidate in the interest of the National party, provided that Mr.Bisson persists in his determination not to run again for the county.Hon.Mr.Robertson, ex-Treasurer of the Province, was in town yesterday to have an interview with his leader, Hon, Mr.Taillon.He appears toattach very little credence to the rnmor that a French-Canadian will run against him.In Berthier county nothing definite has been decided as to who the candidates will be on either ome side or the other, although the rumor is flying about that Mr.C.Beausoleil, M.P., will resign his seat in the Commons for the purpose of presenting himself in this constituency in the Provincial interest.Dr.De Grosbois, the member for Shef- ford, was in town yesterday, and with his usual smiling countenance assured his friends that he had no fears whatever regarding the result of the campaign in his county.In fact, so far as be was concerned, he was under the impression that he would be returned unopposed.The latest report received last] night was that Mr.Chas.Langelier had definitely decided to resign his seat in the House of Commons for the purpose of presenting himself in Montmorency County against Mr.Des ardins, whose Children rv for Pitcher\u2019s Castoria As regards the St.Louis division, of | vote against the Quebec Bridge r »solutions of Mr.Robidoux, has mad » for him many enemies among his staan :hest supporters.; The talk is still continued of the labor organizations running candidates in some of the Montreal districts, and it is even reported that Mr.J.O.Beland has been nominated and has accepted the labor candidature for St.Mary's Ward, So far as the St.Ann\u2019s district is concerned, it is understood by those who have canvassed the division that a labor eandidate would stand but a small chance of being elected there, owing to the large merchants\u2019 vote, particularly in the Centre and West vas intimated à intimated in yesterday\u2019s HEraLD, Hon.Mr.Taillon was offered] the candidature for Jacques Cartier County at tne mass weeting held in St.Lanrent yesterday, and, what is more, he accepted, Mr.À.F.McIntyre, a leading barrister and reformer, in speaking at a reform meeting on the equal rights question, said : \u201cWe believe in equal rights, not for ourselves alone, but \u2018for others.That is the foundation of Liberalism, the traditional principle of the Liberal party.It is easier for Dalton McCarthy to tear down than to construct, and when he spoke in Ottawa as he did of carrying out his ideas with bayonets, if other measures failed, I can tell him there are thousands of true Liberals who will meet his bayonets long before he reaches our fellow- Canadlans in Lower Canada to destroy their equal rights.\u201d The Chronicle, in its issue yesterday, continues its attacks on the leader of the Opposition.In the course of an article it says : \u201cA hundred business differences between brothers or partners will not deter us from stating and proving that Mr.Taillon is the weakest and most ridiculous \u2018leader\u2019 ever foisted on a political party since the world began.\u201d A statement has just been prepared showing the approximate number of Catholic and Protestant voters in the different districts of Montreal, and as it may prove of interest at the present time we give it below.WARDS.Catholic.Protestant.Total.\u201d St.Antoine .4,220 3,023 1248 3 St.Lawren 1.420 1,612 3,032

of money was lost by dishonest persons forzing market clerks\u2019 signatures in chalk on waggons and pretending that they had already paid at another market.Referred to à subcommittee.The next question taken up was tho report from the Couaci), on the motioa of Alderman P.Kennedy, on the appointment of 'a hay inspector.It was ra- solved not to entertain the idea, on the ground that those who buy hay should see that what tney pay for they get.A telephone will be placed in the hay market office, so that the clerk can communicate with the police if required.The tenders of Messrs.Alf.Montrua and Joseph Desjardins for two stalls ia St.James market were accepted.A petition from the stall-holders in the basement of Bonsecours market for ventilation pipes was referred to the chair man and Alderman J.B.R.Dufresne to examine and report on.It was decided to concur in the en largement of St.Lawrence market to St Constant street, and a report to that effect will be presented to Council.HOW TO RAISE THE WIND.A private sitting of the Finance Com- Pitcher\u2019s Castoria.THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY C OMMERCIAL GAZETTE.SATL mittee was held in thie Mayors offi e yestdrday morning to cousider the demand of the Road Co.amittge for mones for permanent paving and opening auii widening streets, and for new fire and police stations.This money can be obtained by two methods.First, there is the Consolidated Loan, of which the tirst issue was floated In London two years ago and amounted to £540,000, and is a first charge upon the city.(wing to the increased assessment of proparty aod the redemption of bonds, a further sam of about $2000,000 can be borrowed on this, lean and first charge.The second way of raising the money is by negotiating a new loan as authorized by the Act of last session, which empowers the city to borrow a million dollars for permanent street improvemeats, and two hundred thousand dollars for the construction of the tunnel under the Champ de Mare or the exiension of St.Lambert Hill.Thus $1,200,000 would be a second charge upon tbe city.Ald.Clendinneng contended it would be ridiculous to borrow money on a second ¢harge at 33 per cent.when they could raise it on a tirst charge at 3 per coat.The mayor and others contended that as borrowing further under the Consolidation Act would necessitate the issaing of a new circular, and opening fresh negotiations on the London market, they had better wait a year until by the redemption of more bonds and the further increase of assessments they would be able to borrow four millions instead of two.It was stated that ex-Mayor Abbotts opinion wag averse to the placing the whole of the loan on the market at once, \u2018as it would tend to injure the crelit of the city.It was finally resolved t> report to Council in favor of borrowinz the $1,200,000 on a second charge at 3} per cent.on bonds redeemable in forty years.\u2014 SMALL FIRES.At 7.30 last evening an alarm of firs was sounded from box 128 for a slight blaze in a shop at No, 1564 St.Catherine street caused by the explosion of a lamp.Very little damages were done.An alarm of fire was sounded at 11.45 from box 83 at the corner of

CALIFORNIA.Comparisons Made by n Montrealer Returned from the Pacific SIepe.Mr.À.Freeman, proprietor of the celebrated Freeman\u2019s restaurant, of St.James street, who left Montreal in June last for California, returned yesterday, and was generally congratulated by his numerous friends on his improved appearance.In conversation with a HERALD representative, he stated that he had spent most of bis time on his ranche at Petaluma, Cal., where he raises cherries, plumbs, apricots, prunes and other kinds of frait.One of the principal objects of his excur- gion, he said, was to examine the mine districts and interview mine men in order to post himself regarding the prices in the different localities, He would remain in Montreal for a few months, during which time he would see what he could do towards advancing the California mine business here.Speaking upon the subject of drunkenness and immorality in Montreal, he insinuated that it was a model city when compared with the principal cities of California.The favorite drink there was not so much wine as whisky, and the moral tone of the people where it was bad was very bad.As regarded the principal hotels in Montreal he said they would compare very favorably with some of the finest on the Pacific slops, while his remarks regarding the revengeful and vindictive character of the Chinese led his listener to forever hold the Mongolians almost in dreadful ab- horzence, .Speaking particularly of tha California wine trade, he said that it promised well to be largely increased during the present year, and in support of his opinion quoted figures to show that ia spite of the blockade and the stoppage of freight mpvement for nearly half the month on the Central Pacific thers were 251,654 gallons of wine shipped overland in January, 1890, against 224,396 in January, 1889.The shipments by sea showed, he said, a still larger increase.During the month of January 27,620 gallons and 556 cases were shipped by water to , foreign ports and 387,449 gallons and 44 cases to domestic Eastern ports.Reducing the cases fo gallons this showed total shipmants by sea of 416,569 gallons for January, 1890, against 272,198 gallons for January, 1889.The totals by sea and rail were 668,223 gallons in January, 1890, against 496,594 in January, 1889, and 400,618 for January, 1888.The increase of 171,629 gallons over the corresponding month of last year, in spite of a considerable rise in prices, indicated, in his mind, a steady growth in thesEastera demand.PERSONAL.Chief Justice Ritchie and Lady Ritchie, of Ottawa,

was the most pleasing ; from the Highland laddie to the Turkish patrol all were good, and many evoked that éxcess of applause which usually results in a repetition.On this occasion, however, encores were avoided with the view of giving the greatest possible variety of performance.Several songs and catches were sung, and Mr.Hayward on the ine +{ruments we have mentioned was rewarded with enthusiastic outbursts of applause.It was an exceedingly enjoyable performance and there will be two more given to-day ; one at 2 o\u2019clock for young people, admission 15 cents (25c for adults),

the de- of the Rayners and Miss Travers, Lieut.Haynes brother-in-law and his re markably attractive sister were with him in garrison and helping him fit up the new quarters which the colonel had rather insisted on his moving into and occupying, even though two unmarried subalterns had to move out and make way for him, This they seemed rather delighted to do.There was a prevailing sentiment at Warrener that nothing was too good for Hayne nowadays; and he took all his adulation so quietly and modestly that there was difficulty in telling just how it affected him.Towards those who had known him well in the days of his early service he still maintained a dignity and reserve of manner that kept them at some distance.To others, especially to the youngsters in the \u2014th as well as to those in the Riflers, he unbent entirely, and was frank, unaffected and warm hearted.He seemed tobask in the sunshine of the respect and consideration accorded him on every side.Yet no one could say he seemed happy.Courteous, grave far beyond his years, silent and thoughtful, he impressed them all as a man who had suffered too much ever again to be light hearted.Then it was more than believed he had fallen deeply in love with Nellie Travers; and that explained the rarity and sad- pess of his smile.To the women he was the center of intense and romantic interest.Mrs.Waldron was an object of jealousy because of the priority of her claims to his regard.Mrs.Hurley\u2014the sweet sister who so strongly resembled him\u2014 was the recipient of universal attention from both sexes.Hayne and the Hur- leys, indeed, would have been invited to several places an evening could they have accepted.And yet, with it all, Mr.Hayne seemed at times greatly preoccupied.He had a great deal to think of.To begin with, the widow Clancy had been captured in one of the mining towns, wheresh¢ had sought refuge, and brought back by the civil authorities, nearly $3,000 in greenbacks having been found in her possession.She had fought like a fury and proved too much for the sheriff\u2019s posse when first arrested, and not until three daysafter her incarceration was the entire amount brought to light.There was no question what ought to be done with it.Clancy\u2019s confession established the fact that almost the entire amount was stolen from Capt.Hull pearly six years before, the night previous to his tragic: death at Battle Butte.Mrs.Clancy ab first had furiously declared it all a lie; but Waldron\u2019s and Billings\u2019 precaution in having Clancy's entire story taken down by a notary public and sworn to before him eventually broke her down.She made her miserable, whining admissions to the sheriffs officers in town \u2014the colonel would not have her on the Post even as a prisoner\u2014and there she was still held awaiting further disclosures, while little Kate was lovingly.cared for at Mrs.Waldron\u2019s.: Poor-old Clancy was buried and on the way to be forgotten.What proved the hardest problem for the garrison to solve was the fact that, while Mr.Hayne kept several of his old associates at a distance, he had openly offered his hand to Rayner.This was something the Riflers could not account for, Tle intensity of his feeling at the time of the court martial none could forget; the vehemence of his denunciation: of the captain was still fresh in the memory of those who heard it.Then there were all those years in which Ray- ner had coptinued to crowd him to the Wall; and finally there was the almost | tragic episode of Buxton's midnight Visitation, in which Rayner, willingly or not, had Leen in at ; odd thatdn the face of all these considerations the first man to whom Mr.Hayne ould have offered his h dw.Rayner\u2019 0dq inde !

No wonder she drove Clancy to drink!\u201d \u201cWill yousend copies of her admission with Clancy\u2019s affidavits?\u201d asked Hay ne.\u201cHere they are in full,\u201d answered the major.\u201cThe colonel talks of having them printed and strewn broadcast as warnings against \u2018snap judgment\u2019 and too confident testimony in future.\u201d Divested of the legal encumbrances with which such documents are usually weighted, Clancy\u2019s story, ran substantially as follows: \u201cI was sergeant in K troop, and Gower was in F.We had been stationed together six months or so when ordered out on the Indian campaign that summer.I was deadbroke.All my money was gone, and my wife kept bothering me for more.I owed a lot of money around headquarters, too, and Gower knew it, and sometimes asked me what [ was going to do when we got back from the campaign.We were not good friends, him and I.There was money dealings between us, and then there was talk about Mrs.Clancy fancying him too much, The paymaster came up with a strong escort and paid off the boys late ;in October, just as the expedition was tendance.Was it not oD > a breaking up and going for home, and all the officers and men got four months\u2019 | pay.There was Lieut.Crane and twenty men of I troop out on a scout, but the ¢ made acquainted with the | lieutenant had left his pay rolls with wi e: Capt.Hull, and the men had all signed before they started, and so the captain he drew it all for them and put each man\u2019s money in an envelope marked with his name and the.lieutenant\u2019s too, and then crowded it all into some bigger I was there where I could see it all, and Guwer was watching him close.\u2018It's a big pile the captain\u2019s got,\u2019 says he, \u2018I'd like to be aroad agent and pab him.\u201d When I told him it couldn\u2019t be over eleven hundred dollars, he says, \u2018That's only part.He has his own pay and six hundred dollars company fund, and a wad of greenbacks he's been car- ryin\u2019 around all summer, It's nigh on to four thousand dollars he's got in his saddle bags this day.\u2019 \u2019 \u201cAnd that night, instead of Lieut.Crane's coming back, he sent word he had found the trail of a big band of Indians, and the whole crowd went in pursuit.There was four companies of infantry, under Capt Rayner, and F and K troops\u2014 what wae left of them\u2014that were ordered tostay by the wagons and bring them safely down; and we started with them over towards Battle Butte, keeping south of the way the regiment had gone to follow THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL G Mr.Crân>.And the very next day Capt.Rayner gol orders to bring his battalion to the river and get on the boat, while the wagons kept on down the bank with us to guard them, And Mr.Hayne was acting quartermaster, and he stayed with us; and him and Capt.Hull was together a good deal.There was some trouble, we heard, because Capt.Rayner thought another officer should have been made ! quartermaster and Mr, Hayne should have stayed with his company, and they had some words; but Capt.Hull gave Mr.Hayne a horse and seemed to keep him with him; and that night, in sight of Battle Butte, the steamboat was out of sight ead when we went into camp, and I was sergeant of the guard and had my fire near the captain\u2019s tent, and twice in the evening Gower came to me and said now was the time to lay hands on the money and skip.At last he says to me, \u2018You are flat broke, and they'll all be be down on you when you get back to the post.No man in America wants five hundred dollars more than you do.I'll give you five hundred in one hour from now if you'll get the captain\u2018 out of his tent for half an hour.\u201d Almost everybody was asleep then; the captain was, and so was Mr.Hayne, and he went on to tell me how he could doit.He'd been watching the captain, It made such a big bundle, did the money, in all the separate envelopes that he had done it all up different\u2014made a memorandum of the amount due each man, and packed the greenbacks all together in one solid pile \u2014his own money, the lieutenant\u2019s and the men\u2019s\u2014done it up in paper and tied it firmly and put big blotches of green sealing wax on it and sealed them with the seal on his watch chain.Says Gower, \u2018You get the captain out, as I tell you, and PI slip right in, get the money.stuff some other paper with a few ones and twos in the package; his seal, his watch and everything is there in the saddle bags under his head, and I can reseal and replace it in five minutes, and he'll never suspect the loss until the command all gets together again next week.By that time I'll be three hundred miles away.Everybody will say \u2019twas Gower that robbed him, and you with your five hundred will never be suspected.\u2019 I asked him how could he expect the captain to go and leave so much money in his bags with no one to guard it; and he said he\u2019d bet on it if I did it right.The captain had had no luck tracking Indians that summer, and the regiment was laughing at him.He knew they were scattering every which way now, and was eager to strike them.All Thad to do was to creep in excited like, wake him up sudden, and tell him I was sure Thad heard an Indian drum and their scalp dance song out beyond the pickets \u2014that they were over towards Battle Butte, and he could hear them if he would come out on the river bank.\u2018He'd go quick,\u201d says Gower, \u2018and think of nothing.\u2019 \u201cAnd\u2014I wouldnt belicve it, but he did.Ile sprang up and went right out with me, just flinging his overcoat round him; and he never seemed to want to come in.The wind was blowizg soft like from the southeast, and he stood there straining his ears trying to hear the sounds I told him of; but at last he gave it up, and we went back to camp, and he took his lantern apd looked in his saddle bags, and I shuok for fear; but he seemed to find everything all right, and in the next ten minutes he was asleep, and Gower : came and whispered to me, and I went with him, and he gave me five hundred dollars, in twenties.\u2018Now you're bound,\u2019 says he; \u2018keep the sentries off while I get my horse.\u2019 And that's the last I ever saw of him.Then a strange thing happened.\u2018Twas hardly daylight when a courier came galloping up, and I called the captain, and he read the dispatch, and says he, \u2018By heaven, Clancy, you were right after all.There are Indians over there.Why didn\u2019t I trust your ears?Call up the whole command.The Riflers have treed them at Battle Butte, and Capt.Rayner has gone with his battalion.We are to escort the wagons to where the boat lies beyond the bend, and then push over with all the horsemen we can take.\u2019 It was after daylight when we got started, but we almost ran the wagons cross country to the boat, and there Capt.Hull took F troop and what there was of his own, leaving only ten men back with the wagons, and not till then was Gower missed; but all were in such a hurry to get to the Indians that no one paid attention.Mr.Hayne he begged the captain to let him go, too, so the train was left with the wagon master and the captain of the boat, and away we went.You know all about the fight, and how twas Mr.Hayne the captain called to and gave his watch and the two packages of money when he was ordered to charge.I was right by his side, and I swore\u2014God forgive me! \u2014\u2014that through the crack and tear in the paper I could see the layers of greenbacks, when I knew *twas only some ones and twos Gower had slipped in to make it look right; and Capt.Rayner stood there and saw the packet, too, and Sergt.Walshe and Bugler White; but them two were killed with him, so that \u2019twas only Capt.Ray- ner and I was left as witnesses, and never till we got to Laramie after the campaign did the trouble come.I never dreamed of anything ever coming of it but that every one would say Gower stole the money and deserted; but when the captain turned the packages over to Mr.Hayne and then got killed, and Mr.Hayne carried the packages, with the watch, seal, saddle bags and all, to Cheyenne, and never opened them till he got there\u2014two weeks after, when we were all scattered\u2014then they turned on him, lis own ofilzers did, and said he stole it and gambled or sent it away in Cheyenne.\u201cI had Jost much of my money then, and Mrs.Clancy got the rest, and it made me crazy to think of that poor young ! gentleman accused of it all; but I wasin for it, and knew it meant prison for years for me, and perhaps they couldn't prove it on him.I got to drinking then, and told Capt.Rayner that the \u2014th was down on me for swearing away the young officer's character; and then he took me to Company B when the colonel wouldn't have me any more in the \u2014th; and one night when Mrs.Clancy had been raising my hair and I wanted money to drink and she\u2019d give me none, little Kate told me her mother had lots of money in a box, and that Sergt.Gower had come and given it to her while they were get ting settled in the new post after the Battle Butte campaign, and he had made her promise to give it to me the moment with it, and she beat me and Kate, and swore It was all a lie: and I never could get the money, \u201cAnd at last came the fire, and it was the lieutenant that saved my life and Kate's.and brought back to her all that pile of money through the flames.It broke my heart then, and I vowed I'd go and tell him the truth, but they wouldn't let me.She told me the captain said he would kill me it I blabbed, and she would kill Kate, I didn't dare, until they told me my discharge had come, | and then I was glad when the lieutenant andthemajor caught ige in town.When they promised to take care of little Kate 1 didn\u2019t care what happened tome.The money Mrs.Clancy has\u2014except perhaps two hundred dollars\u2014all belongs to Lieut.Hayne, since he paid oif every cent that was stolen from Capt.Hull.\u201d Supplemented by Mrs.Clancy\u2019s rueful | and incoherent admissions, Clancy\u2019s story did its work.Mrs.Clancy could not long persist in her various denials after her husband's confession was brought to her ears, and she was totally unable to account satisfactorily for the possession of so much money.Little Kate had been too young to grasp the full meaning of what Gower said to her mother in that hurried interview; but her reiterated statements that he came late at night, before the regiment got home, and knocked at the door until he waked them up, and her mother cried when he came in, he looked so different, and had spectacles and a patch on his cheek, and ranch clothes, and he only stayed a little while, and told her mother he must go back to the mountains, the police were on his track\u2014she knew now he spoke of having deserted\u2014and he gave her mother lots of money, for she opened and counted it afterwards and told her it must all go to papa to get some one out of trouble\u2014all were so clear and circumstantial that at last the hardened woman began to break down and make reluctant admissions.\u2018When un astute sheriff's officer finally ° told her that he knew where he could | lay hands on Sergt.Gower, she surren- ! dered utterly.So long as he was out of the way\u2014could not be found\u2014she held out; but the prospect of dragging into prison with her the man who had spurned her in years gone by and was | proof against her fascinations was too .She told all she could at his - alluring.expense.He had ridden eastward after his desertion, and, making his way down ' the Missouri, had stopped at Yankton and gone thence to Kansas City, spending much cf hismoney.Hehad reached Denver with the rest, and there\u2014she knew not how\u2014had made or received more, when he heard of the fact that Capt, Hull had turned over his property to Licut.Hayne just before he was killed, and that the lieutenant was now .to be tried for failing to account for it.He brought her enough to cover all he had taken, but\u2014here she lied\u2014strove to persuade her to go to San Francisco with ; him.She promised to think of it if he would leave the money\u2014which he did, | swearing he would come for her and it.That was why she dared not teli Mike when he got home.He was so jealous of her.\u2018> To this part of her statement Mrs.Clancy stoutly adhered; but the officers believed Kate.One other thing she told.Kate had declared he wore a heavy patch on his right cheek and temple.had sought to rob him in Denver.his share of the honors of the fray was a deep and clean cut extending across the cheek bone and up above the right ear.As these family revelations were told throughout the garrison and comment of every kind was made thereon, there is reason for the belief that Mrs.Buxton found no difficulty in filling her letters with particulars of deep interest to her readers, who by this time had carried out the programme indicated by Capt.Ray- ner.Mid-June had come; the ladies, apparently benefited by the sea voyage, had landed in New York and were speedily driven to their old quarters at | the Westminster; and while the captain went to headquarters of the department to report his arrival on leave and get his letters, a card was sent up to Miss Travers : which she read with cheeks that slightly paled: \u201cHe is here, Kate,\u201d \u201cNellie, you\u2014you won\u2019t throw him over, after all he has done and borne for you?\u201cI shall keep my promise,\u201d was the answer, CHAPTER XX.\u201cAnd so she\u2019s really going to marry Mr, Van Antwerp,\u201d said Mrs.Buxton to Mrs, Waldron a few days later in the month of sunshine and roses.\u201cI did not think it possible when she left,\u201d was the reply.\u2018\u201cWhy do you say 80 now?\u201d \u201cOh, Mrs.Rayner writes that the captain had to go to Washington on some important family matters, and that she and Nellie were at the sea shore again, and Mr.Van Antwerp was with them from morning till night.He looked so worn and haggard, she said, that Nellie could not but take pity on him, Heavens! think of having five hundred thousand dollarssighing its life away for you! \u2014especially when he\u2019s handsome, Mrs, Rayner made me promise to send itright back, because he would never give her one before, but she sent his picture.Its splendid.Wait, and I'll show you.\u201d And Mrs, Buxton darted into the house.With one shriek of warnérg and terror she springs towards them\u2014just in time, \u2018When she reappeared, three or four young cavalrymen were at the gate chatting with Mrs, Waldron, and the picture was passed from hand to hand, exciting varied comment.It was a simple carte Yes, Mrs.; Clancy remembered it.Some scoundrels \u2018 He had to fight for life and money both, and ' : comes of it all, Ishall not forget your forming a frame for a picture en sil- - close at hand\u2014one, Van Antwerp, close AZRTTE SATURDAY MAY 3 1 1 got back\u2014that somebody \u2018vas in trou- !

\u201cThis,\u201d said Webster, holding out the | card.Hayne took if, gave one glance, | started, seized it with both hands, stud- | ied it eagerly, while his own face rapidly | paled, then looked up with quick, searching eyes.\u201cWho is this?\u201d he asked.\u201cThe man who's engaged to Miss Tra- vers\u2014Mr.Van Antwerp.\u201d \u201cThis\u2014this\u2014Mr.Van Antwerp!\u201d ex-!

You deserted from F troop, \u2014th cavalry, at Battle Buttle!\u201d She sees the fearful glean on the dark man\u2019s face; there is a sudden spring, a clinch, a straining to and fro of two forms\u2014one tall, black, snakr.the other light, lithe, agile and trained: muttered curse, panting breath, and then, sure as fate, the taller man is being Lorne backward against the bail.She sees the dark arm suddenly relax its grasp of the gray form and disappear an instant.Then there it comes again, and with it a gleam of steel.With one shriek of .warning and terror she springs towards them\u2014just in time.Hayne glances up, catches the lifted wrist, hurls his whole weight upon the tottering figure, and over goes the Knickerbocker prone upon the floor.Hayne turasone instant: \u201cGo indoor, Mrs.Rayner.This is no place for yof.Leave him to me.\u201d And in that instant, before eithtr can prevent, Steven Van Antwerp, alias Gower, springs to his feet, leaps over the balcony rail and disappears in thie depths below.It isa descent of not more than ten feet to the sands beyond the dark passage that underlies the piazza.but he \u2018has gone down into the passage itself.When Mr.Hayne, running down the steps, gains his way to the space beneath the piazza, no trace of the fugitive can he find.} * * * * * » * Nor does Mr.Van Antwerp appear at breakfast orf the following morning, nor again to any person known to this story.An officer of the \u2014th cavalry, spending a portion of the following winter in Paris, writes that he met him face to face one day in the galleries of the Louvre.Being in civilian costume, of course, and much changed in appearance since he was à youth in the straps of a second lieutenant, it was possible for him ta take a good look at the man he had not seen since he wore the chevrons of a dashing sergeant in the Battle Butte campaign.\u201cHe has grown almost white,\u201d wrote the lieutenant, \u2018and Pm told he has abandoned his business in New York and never will return to the United States.\u201d Rayner, too, has grown gray.A telegram from his wife summoned him to the seaside from Washington the day after this strange adventure of hers.He found her somewhat prostrate, his sister- in-law very pale and quiet, and the clerks of the hotel unable to account for the disappearance of Mr.Van Antwerp.Lieut.Hayne, they said, had told them he received news which compelled him to go back to New York at once; but the gentleman\u2019s traps wereall in his room.Mr.Hayne, too, had gone to New York; and thither the captain followed.A letter came to him at the Westminster which he read and handed in silence to Bayne.It was as follows: \u201cBy the time this reaches you I shall be beyond reach of the law and on my way to Europe to spend what may be left of my days.I hope they may be few; for the punishment that has fallen upon me is more than I can bear, though no more than I deserve, You have heard that my college days were wild, and that after repeated warnings my father drove me from home, sending me to Wyoming to embark in the cattle business.I preferred gambling, and lost what he gave me.There was nothing then left but to enlist; and I joined the \u2014th.Mother still believed me in or near Denver, and wrote regularly there.The life was horrible to me after the luxury and lack of restraint I had enjoyed, and I meant to desert.Chance threw in my way that temptation.I robbed poor Hull the night before he was killed, repacked the paper so that even the torn edges would; show the greenbacks, resealed it\u2014all just; a8 I have had to hear through her pure and sacred lips it was finally told and her lover saved.\u201cGod knows I was shocked when I heard in Denver he was to be tried for! the crime.I hastened to Cheyenne, not daring to show myself to him or any one, and restored every cent of the money, placing it in Mrs, Clancy\u2019s hands, as I dared not stay; but I had hoped to give it to Clancy, who had not arrived.The police knew me, and I had to go.I gave every cent I had, and walked back; to Denver, then got word to mother of my fearful danger; and, though she never knew I was a deserter, she sent; me money, and I came east and went abroad.Then my whole life changed., I was appalled to think how low 1 had| fallen.I shunned companionship, studied, did well at Heidelberg; father for-; gave me, and died; but God has not forgiven, and at the moment when I thought; my life redeemed this retribution overtakes me.| \u201cIf I may ask anything, it is that mother may never know the truth, I will tell her that Nellie could not love: me, and I could not bare to stay.\u201d + Some few weeks later that summer Miss Travers stood by the same balcony rail, with an open letter in her hand, There was a soft flush on her pretty, peachy cheek, and a far away look in her sweet blue eyes.! \u201cWhat news from Warrener, Nellie?asked Mrs.Rayner.\u201cFluffy has reappeared.\u201d \u201cIndeed!

SATURDAY.MAY 3 FOUR VERY RICH MEN.The Fortunes of Rockefeller, Astor, Vanderbilt and Gould.Richer Thad the Rothschilds\u2014The Standard Oil and Western Union Mage mates Inherited Nothing\u2014They Will Soon be Billionaires.Therc are at least four men in America richer than the richest man in Europe.They are John D.Rockefeller, the president of the Standard Oil Trust; William Waldorf Astor, who has just succeeded to the fortune of John Jacob Astor, his father; Cornelius Vanderbilt, the head of the Vanderbilt system of railroads, and Jay Gould, the speculator and railroad magnate.The aggregate wealth of the Rothschilds reaches nearly $1,000, 000,000, but no individual Rothschild is worth over $75,000,000.Here is an estimate, obtained from the most reliable sources, of the fortunes of the Americans named: John D.Rockefeller .William Waldorf Astor Cornelius Vanderbilt.Jay Gould 90,000,000 It has been suppossd that the late John Jacob Astor was the richest man in the world, and so be was for a time after the division of the wealth of William H.Vanderbilt, who, at the time ot his death, was worth $200,000,000.John D.Rocke- seller has made money faster in the past ew years ,than any other mortal ever made it.He is so rich that he cannot count his own willions.He said under oatb, in a legal proceeding not long ago, that be could not estimate his fortune within $10,000,000 or $12,000,000.The estimate of $135,000,000 is not considerad excessive.If anything, it is under the actual amount.Rockefeller was once a newspaper reporter, and less than two decades ago was a business man of only moderate means in Cleveland, O.His attention Was attracted to the opportunities for making money in the handling and refining of the product ofthe Pennsylvania oil fields.He started a comparatively small refinery, and from that grew the most powerful monopoly on earth\u2014ithe Standard Oil Trust.How rapidly the Standard has grown is ghown by the fact that in 1880 its capital was only $3,000,000, whereas it is now $90,000,000.The par value of the stock is $100 a share, but it is quoted at $170.It pays dividends amounting to 10 per cent.per annum.Rockefeller owns more than a majority of the stock, so that something like $160,000,000 of his fortune is represented in the trust.He also has extensive natural gas interests in Ohio, and in addition is a large owner of Government bonds and the securities of railroads and other corporations.It has been said, and it is probably a fact, that the Standard Oil Trust is the best managed corporation in the world.John D.Rockefeller is the directing spirit.He looks and acts more like a preacher than a schemer.He is, in fact, a deacon in a Baptist church.He has stooping shoulders, drooping eyelids and a face that is almost sepulchral.He lives in a handsome house in West Fifty-fourth street, just around the corner from Fifth avenue.lt is in this neighborhood where the Vanderbilt Inansions, the finest in New York, clus- Tr.His diversions are few.Little is heard of him and less is seen of him.He is inaccessible at all times.He wields the enormous power of the Standard Oil Trust from behind portals.And this power is proved by the irresistible way in which opposition to the Standard in all forms has been crushed.There is, however, one thing to be said of the Standard.Ifan opposition pipe line or refinery is started and assumes proportions sufficient to make it formidable, an offer, and a fair one at that, is made for its purchase.Ifthe offer is refused the Standard puts «down prices, interferes with facilities and makes its competitor's business unprofitable.The competitor in the end gives up.The Standard never was a producer in Pennsylvania, but when the Ohio oil field was discovered it proceeded to secure all the productive territory, and now controls the situation there absolutely.William Waldorf Astor's wealth is principally in real estate.The original John Jacob Astor bought farm after farm along the King\u2019s Highway, the old post road, extending from the Battery in ew York to Albany.The King\u2019s Highway is now known as Broadway.His heirs followed his example, and thus it is that the Astors have, at one time or another, owned the best part of Broad- rene 0.ay.People who desired to put up residences or business structures would obtain ground leases from the Astors, and on corn fields and potato patches reared bulidings, which, at the expiration of the leases, reverted to the Astors.As a rule these leases ran for twenty-one years.The Astors have never been speculaters, and as a consequence, their fortunes have never been impaired by the mutilations of Wallstreet.They have never been obtrusive, and the only one of the family who has ever aspired to political honors is William Waldorf, who served in both branches of the State Legisiature and was also Minister to Italy.He is not likely to figure in politics again.He made something of à name as a novel writer, but his literary, as well as his political aspirations, seem to have recently subsided.He is under forty, tall, well built and agreeable in manner.He wears eye glasses and dresses very quietly.His home is a double brown stone house in East Thirty-third street, three doors from Fifth avenue.He will soon take possession ot his fathers mansion on Fifth avenue, a large and substantial, but rather old-fashioned house.The Astor property is easy to manage, for it involves merely the collection of rents, with the occasional sale or purchase of a building or lot.Probably no individual fortune of any magnitude, either in America or Europe, is so secure as William Waldorf Astor's.Only an earthquake devastating Manhattan Island could wipe it out, Cornelius Vanderbilt inherited $s0,- 000,000 from William H.Vanderbilt.He was previously the possessor of about $5,000,000.Interest and appréciation in the value of the bonds and stocks left bim by his father make up the balance of the $110,000,000 with which he is credited.His fortune is very sagaciously invested.It is principally in stocks and bonds, but of a class that in Wall street are known as \u2018gilt edged.\u201d Even a panic in the stock market would not be apt to diminish the value of his fortune over 10 per cent.and his impairment would not be permanent.He was the favorite grandson of old Commodore Vanderbilt, whose name he bears, and he was likewise the favorite ! scn of his father.He is an excellent business man.His methods are conservative.Vanderbilt is unassuming.He bas rever sought political preferment, por, for that matter, has any member of the Vanderbilt family.He is an ardeat church man and his contributions for | church work are large.He attends the ; fashionable St.Bartholomew\u2019s Church in | Madison avenue and may be seen any | Sunday afternoon on his way home from | service with his prayer book and hymnal | in band.He is never heard as a public speaker except at the meetings of the railroad branch of the Young Men\u2019s Christian Association, which he provided with a bandsome building.He and Chauncey M.Depew lunch together every day that they are both at the general offices of the Vanderbilt roads in Forty-second street.He depends on Mr.Depew for counsel, as his father did before him, and he is as fond of Mr.Depew\u2019s clever sayings at an assemblage of banqueters.The estimate of Jay Gould\u2019s fortune is made up on the \u201cmarket value.\u201d In one way it is a precarious fortune.It is composed almost entirely of the securities of the corporations controlled by him.and these are speculative in the extreme.A panic in Wall street might reduce his fortune one-half.Gould has practically reiired.His health is not good, and he has put the active management of his properties in the hands of his eldest two sons, George and Edwin.He has contracted rather than extended his interests during the past three or four years, until now his holdings of stock are not great outside of the Western Union Telegraph Company, the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the elevatad railroads in New York.His sight has failed to such an extent recently that he wears gold bowed spectacles almost constantly.He has grown rather tired of his yacht, but in the summer finds it convenient in going between New York and his country place as Irvington on the Hudson.Rockefeiler and Gould have made their fortunes in a single generation.Astor's fortune represents the accumulation of four generations and Vanderbilt's of three generations.Rockefeiler\u2019s fortune probably yields- at its estimated value, 5 per cent.Van, derbilt\u2019s yields about the same.Astor's fortune is calculated to yield six per cent.Inasmuch as many of the stocks and bonds owned by Gould pay no ine terest at all, it is not probable that he derives three per cent.on his total wealth.Taking tnese figures, the an- nuat and daily income of the four men, compounding the interest semi-annually to allow for reinvestment, are as follows: YEARLY AND DAILY INCOMES, Yearly Daily income.income.John D.Rockefeller.$6,831,000 $18,715 William Waldorf Aster.8,612,500 23,593 Cornelius

money as he has in the past, and there is reason to believe he will, he can count his wealth at $200,000,000 in two or three years.If he lives twenty-five years, as every one of the four great

Says Malcolm W.Forq\u2014 Famous Runners and Jumpers Cited as Instances Followers of athletic sports often ask, \u201cWhere does So-and-so get the power to travs el over the ground so fast?or in some other \u2018case, \u2018How is it that such a heavy fellow is so active!\u201d Any attempt to have certain rules by which to answer these questions with even a fair degree of accuracy is thought by most instructors to be useless, so far as ana lyzing muscular development is concerned.Good athletes vary so much in height, length or girth of limb, weight and age that it is most perplexing to even a careful observer to think out why it is that So-and-so can accomplish certain athletic feats, when some one else who looks just as strong and takes as much practice cannot show anywhere near such excellence.TWO PERFECT ARMS, Most instructors or judges of athletes lay more stress on a man\u2019s disposition than on the size of his muscles in endeavoring to explain why he is so strong and active.The power of concentration is known to be largely developed in a good athlete or, in other words, the ability to summon one\u2019s self for an effort is prominent in men who bave made good athletic records.As the mind controls this ability it is quite natural that an athlete\u2019s disposition should be considered of importance in describing the cause for his athletic ability.- It must not, however, be supposed that one\u2019s mind has all to do with excellence in muscular feats, for the arrangement, if not the size of the muscles, is known to come in for a large share, Most good athletes have what are commonly called \u2018\u2018long muscles.\u201d Their sinews do not stand out in knots, but they extend more over the whole length of the bone.Different kinds of exercise will; put different shaped muscles on a man, and an arm which is used simply on pulley weights ina gymnasium can be distinguished from one which has been used in rowing, tug of war, or horizontal and parallel bar exercises.The former, accustomed to a great deal of light work, will be more knotty in appearance.The lines of its muscles will be clear cut, and 8s a sample of muscular development it will be very good.When, however, it is put to heavy work something}will be found lacking.There will be no action to the muscles, and as most athletic feats consist of concentrated efforts, the arm just described, not being used to them, will be compared with some other one which might not have such pronounced looking muscles, but which may be at home at being used in straining.The illustration \u2018Two Perfect Arms\u201d shows very well two different types of muscular development, \u2018\u2018E\u201d is the right arm of H.H: Baxter, the holder of the American record for the pole vault.\u201cFis the arm of the well known athlete Frank J.Kilpatrick, who inthis day was a great tuz of war man and dumbbell shover.He also was a good general athlete, but strength of arm was his forte.Baxter's arm has, without doubt, been mostly brought up to its fine state of development by the exercise of the game he has made such a record at.Pole vaulting consists of an athlete clearing a bar by means of a pole with which he runs, sticks in the ground close to the bar, and swings himself over the latter by means of the momentum of his run and lifting with his arms.\u2018While in the air all the weight of the body is supported by the arms, which in turn bear on the pole, and an athlete whe can lift well with his arms, whether or not he can gain much momentum from his run, can perform at the game better than one who may be able to gain more force in his run but has not the strength in his arms to enable him to lift enough.Much practice at pole vaulting is felt by most athletes in the arms simply because they do so much work; and if Baxter took no other exercise for his arms than pole vaulting, their appearance would not change from the illustration, even though his favorite exercise does not develop all the muscles of the arm.* It can readily beimagined that Kilpatrick's arm, having such tremendous muscles for its length, can perform an exercise likeshoving heavy dumbbells far better than an arm like Baxter's, even though the muscular develop- VENTS LW ee ment of both were comparatively the same, Kilpatrick\u2019s arm fits a man 5 feet 7 inches high, while Baxter is over 6 feet 1 inch high.\"The muscles of Kilpatrick\u2019s arm have a better leverage in shoving a heavy weight than Baxter's, and the latter might practice forever aud still not be able to make any kind of ashowing with Kilpatrick at lifting or shoving a weight.Still, for all this{difference in power the muscles in Baxter's arm, in proportion to its size, stand out far better tha those of Kilpatrick's.But by their physi arrangement it can readily be imagined why there is such a differencefin performing heavy feats.Baxter\u2019s arm is of the slender type, andfal- though he is not known to be extra good at lifting or throwing heavy weights, still for his favorite exercise the muscles of his arm cannot be excelled.Kilpatrick's arm is of the ghort, stout variety.If it were shown in the same position as Baxter's the biceps, which are so pronounced on the front part of Baxter\u2019s upper arm, would in Kilpatrick's dis- lay a sight generally seen in ancient engraved of athletes and gladiators.Kilpatrick's upper arm, when bent at the time this picture was taken, measured 16 inches in circumference.He weighed about 160 pounds, and he could take a dumbbell weighing even a fow pounds more than that figure \u201cand shove it slowly above his head.The illustration \u2018\u2018Both have run 100 yards in ten seconds\u201d shows the legs of two Harvard college athletes, \u201cA\u201d is Evert Wendell'sand \u2018\u201c\u2018B\u201d is Wendel Baker's, The inside measuremet of \u2018\u2018A\u201d is 33 inches, while that of \u201cB\u201d is 36 inches: still both have traveled 100 yards in the same time, and neither could run the distance faster than their credited time.Baker is of the decided greyhound type.He stands 6 feet, and weighed when he made his record 138 pounds.Wendell is three inches shorter, and of about the same weight as Baker, The lines of \u201c\u2018B\u201d are seen to be much finer and more sinewy than shown in \u2018\u201cA,\u201d still, so far as speed is concerned, one leg accomplished just as much as the other, To show still more variety in length And shape of leg the reader is referred to the illustration \u2018\u201cLegs}for Jumping,\u201d Fig.\u201cC.\u201d This is ponderous compared with \u201cA\u201d and \u201cB,\u201d and, although it is the same length as \u201cA,\u201d it is many inches larger around the upper part.\u201cC\u201d belongs to H.M.Johnson, the celebrated professional sprinter and jumper.He holds the record for a 100 yard run of 9 435 seconds, and, although he is about the same height as Baker, his leg is four inches shorter.Johnson's weight in running condition is about 180 pounds, which is forty pounds more than Baker, still he has run 100 yards faster, and would be considered a more active man generally, for he is also a great jumper.By these illustrations it will be seen that there is a great difference in length, size and shape of the legs of prominent sprinters, and comparing \u201cB\" with \u201c\u2018C,\u201d without being told who owned them, one would hardly suppose that \u201cC\u201d could carry its owner over ground faster than that of \u201cB.\u201d There are none of the fine lines in \u2018\u201cC\u201d which are displayed in \u201cB,\u201d although thedevelopment of the former is very large.It would not, however, be thought that the rapid motion necessary in running fast would be found in \u201cGy\u201d The two athletes represented by these legs have a very different style of running.\u201cC\" strides about 7 feet 3 inches in running 100 yards, while \u2018\u201cB\u201d will go 6 inches further, but the shorter one is put in a little quicker, which enables more ground to be covered in à certain space of time for a certain distance.The illustration \u201cLegs for Jumping,\u201d Fig.\u201cD,\u201d shows the leg of E.W.Johnson.He is very unlike in build to his namesake, H.M.Johnson, represented by \u201cC.\u201d They are about the same height, but the inside measurement of Johnson's leg is 37 inches, which is even greater than Wendel Baker's.E.W.Johnson holds tbe best record in the world for a standing high jump without weights, 5 feet 8 LEGS FOR JUMPING, inches.H.M.Johnson holds the best record of the world for a standing broad jump without weights, 10 feet 1044 inches, There is a difference of four inches in the length of their limbs, and the one shown in \u201cC\u201d is about four inches more in circumference at the upper part than \u201cD.\u201d Both are good all round jumpers, with the advantage on \u201cD's\u201d side, but this may be due mostly to the fact that \u201cC\u201d has paid more attention to running.\u201cD\u201d bas never made a fast record at the latter game, and the little he has done at it showed a very long, slow stride.He has not the ability to stride quickly, and yet, judging by the length of his limbs, one might suppose that he should make a runner of an unusual standard.He weighed when he was in his best condition 162 pounds, or nearly twenty pounds less than \u201cC.\u201d The \u2018long muscles\u201d previously spoken of are well displayed in \u2018\u201cD,\u201d and when doing any kind of jumping this athlete shows a great deal of action.He does not jump with what might be called a nervous snap, but uses more of a slower muscle contracting action which impresses one that considerable force is used.The action of \u2018\u201cC\u201d when jump ing is quick compared with *D,\u201d and the same ability to concentrate quickly is shown in his jumping that he displays in running 100 yards.Considering the great difference in physical characteristics between \u2018\u201cC\u201d and \u201cD,\u201d would it ever be imagined by one having a theoretical idea of athletic ability that \u201cC\u201d could run so fast as 100 yards in 9 4-5s., and that \u201cD\u201d could not run fast enough to be worthy of mention, or that \u2018\u201cC\u201d could stand still and give a further spring than \u201cD,\u201d while the latter can outjump \u2018\u2018C\u201d in nearly every other way?These questions are interesting, and their very complication makes them all the more difficult to answer.One great reason that must not be overlooked of a certain athlete excelling some other ane in a certain game, geemingly against all plausible theories, is that an athlete, as a rule, takes up a special rule which he likes, and, with continued practice, develops the muscles used, and thereby becomes unusually proficient.Theu when he is compared with some other one who theo retically may be better built for the game but who has not practiced so much, it should not be difficult to say why he is actuglly better at the particular Svéntthan tne other one There is a great deal of truth in the idea that certain athletes are built for different games, for it would be found by tryinga number of novices in a gymnasium in many kinds of exercise that each branch would produce better performances by some men than by others, It is easy fo See that one man having small arms and heavy legs can not climb a rope as well as another who may paye big arms and small legs, but the big èggèd man may jump further than the one withbadly developed lower limbs.Itisa well known fact that patrons of gymnasiums are finely developed above the waist while devotees of athletic grounds show equally good results in the legs.This is-mainly due to the difference in apparatus found in the two places.MALCOLM W.FORD.\u2014_\u2014.Coming Events.,

wwelve days, he stood in his .mprovised stall, in tbe steerage, near the port bow.\u201cNo one saw him move a hoof during the trip.He was not afraid.In the roughest weather he kept his nose in the

balance.Three hundred sheep were in the steerage with him.The first night out 150 were washed overboard.Fifty died from exposure.He did not seem to suffer in the slightest degree, and when the ship reached port he pranced down the gangplank as sportively as a thoroughbred ought to prance.\u201d Among the peculiar wills on the file in the vaults of the Probate Court in Chicago is that of a man

sics\u201d\u2014A Good Plan for a Cheap Cattle Barn.The majority of defects.in the horse's conformation are only relative defects, with regard to the uses to which the animal may be put.Thus, a large heavy : head, short thick neck, short upright shoulders and a double drooping croup are defects in a saddle horse, which should possess precisely opposite qualities; they are, on the contrary, favorable in a heavy draught horse.A forehand much lower than the hind quarters is a good conformation for a race horse on a flat course, but very bad in a roadster.Certain conformations are esteemed good according to taste or the fashion.Thus the Roman nose (8) was very much admired during the reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XV, but has not been so since; the straight face, and even that which is & little hollow, is now preferred.There are, nevertheless, defects which remain so under all circumstances; such as long, wide apart or drooping ears (hog ears, 6); small eyes; flat, narrow sides; narrow chest; long, badly attached loins (12); tucked up belly (15); rat tail (17); tendons tied in (80); long pasterns.Glanderous discharge'21.Capped hock.- and ulcers.22.Capped elbow.2.Pendulous

much in weight during the months which follow the cutting and housing of the crop, and that hay drawn from the barn in winter should command a much higher price than the same hay drawn from the meadow as soon as cured.The experiments made at the Kansas experiment station lead to a different conclusion.Thirteen samples of several different kinds of hay were secured for this purpose, and placed in very thin muslin bags.They were weighed and then buried in a mow of hay.Most of them remained six months, and were weighed again in December, several precautions having been taken to prevent error.In most cases the loss by drying was trifling, not over 3 or 4 per cent.In two instances it was over 10 per cent.In one case there was a\u2019 positive gain.There are two causes which would materially control the result\u2014a wet or dry summer and the degree of drying in the field to which the hay is subjected.Some farmers draw in their hay obviously before it is quite dry.Those who sell and buy hay should understand this matter, and it would be easy for them to make careful trials.The degree of moisture which may be left in hay as it is drawn from the meadow should be better understood.There is no question that it is often subjected needlessly to drying.¢ A Kicking Cow.An Oregon farmer gives a remedy for kicking cows which he claims to have used with great success for the past twelve years: Take a small rppe or cord about the size of a clothes line; make a loop, inone end; hold the loop end in one hand, drop the other end over the cow\u2019s back; pick it up and pass it through the loop, then slip it back just behind the hips, bringing it underneath just forward of and close to the udder, adjusting it so that the loop is near the back bone.Now draw the rope through the loop tightly and fasten it, the more tightly the better if the animal is very vicious.On the first application she will jump and try to kick and perhaps bellow; but let her kick, she will soon get tired of doing so.Now you can sit down and milk without the least danger.Youcan hardly provoke Her to kick.If she should still try to kick, tighten the rope and continue to do this till she gives up.Three applications in succession will cure the worst case.Treat her kindly and gently all the time without the least excitement.Best Time to Buy Bees.Mrs, L.Harrison, whose long experience entitles her

Upon reaching the door you of#n it with a push, walk into the room, the door closing gently behind you.\u201d As he said: \u201cClosing gently,\u201d the door hung motionless.\u201cThe door,\u201d he repeated, \u201cwill gently close,\u201d but the door was immovable.I determined to aid him.I examined the spring and found that it had been fastened to the door, but not to the jam.I casually mentioned this to Mr.ad.\u201cAh,\u201d he said, ironically, \u201cthat\u2019s it.\u201d \u201cI presume that you have an idea that this spring is an endless cable, and can be attached to everything in the room.\u2019Tis a beautiful thought, almost an electrical ore, Dat unfortunately you were not consulted when they patented this device.Have you any other sensible criticisms 7\u2019 At this I left the room.Although some distance from the room Mr.Fad was in, I could hear him talking to the spring as he slowly wreached it from the door.After a long interval of silence I heard : \u201cClementina ! Clem-en- tina !!\u201d I did not hurry, but walked to the room from which these sounds came; turned the handle of the door, and\u2014 stayed out.I pushed, but the door was as immovable as an elevator gate after the brakeman bas politely slammed it in your face.I waited, then said quietly and firmly: \u201cMr, Fad, will you kindly open the door ?\u201d A muffled voice replied : \u201cOpen the door.That's so sensible.That\u2019s bringing balm to my wounded spirits.Didn't I tell you this infernal spring has sprung a trap on me?That's what I wanted you for, to let me out.! am locked

you to chant : Spring, spring, gentle door sprins, That evening when Mr.Fad, having finally burst his way out, appeared he had the spring with him, but it was packed away in a box.\u201cI am going to send this spring to a dear friend ot mine,\u201d he said, apologetically.I looked up and asked him if I might know the hanny recipient.«Now I call that magnanimous and kind, Clementina, for I waat to

rerpetuates his fame.We do not know certainly the exact hour, but it was early in the morning when the cance which bore him glided out from between the overhanging maples and cedars which lined either bank of the Richelieu, aud entered the broader waters of tue lake.The spectacle which met his eyes was one which brought exclamations ot astonishment from his mouth, aad as his canoe swept onward over the level water new beauties and wider expanses of natural loveliness broke upon nis view.Even then he was a world-wide traveller.He had visited Mexico, Vera Cruz and Panama The luxuriant loveliness of the tropics and the more sober beauties of gemi-tropical regions wera faiul.iar to him.He had seen the best that the continent of Europe nad to show.He had gazed upon the green meadows of Acadia and the awful grandeurs of the Saguenay, But never before had he locked upon a scene of such picturesque beauty, and such varied loveliness, as this body of water presented to his appreciative eyes as it lay revealed in the dewr light of this warm July Morning.Not a breath was moving in the air.The lake, between its widening shores, stretched before him smooth as glass.Through it the noiseless padales moved the noiseless bark in which he stood and gazed.Behind him came the twenty- four cances, silently following his silent wake.The paddles rose and sank in perfect unison.The ochred faces of the Indians and their feathered scalp-locks showed brilliantly in the morniog light.The air was odorous with the perfumes of gums and flowers.Here and there lilies starred the water whitely.Large fish leaped, splashed and drove their sharpened wedge of motion along the level surface.Through the dewy air came the pure, sweet note of the hermit thrush.Far overhead the hunting eagle, sweeping round and round in watchful circles, came to a sudden stop, fluttered for a moment, and then, with rightly balanced poise, drove headlong downward into the lake.Ducks blackened the waters for acres.The mother-does watched the playful fawns bounding along the sand.The lumbering moose waded laboriously shoreward, and on the marshy bank stood at gaze.Above, the sky was sapphire.Over the eastern mountains the sun shone redly.The mighty woods came to the water's edge, an unbroken mass of natural forest.The lake, to which he was to give his name while living, that was to be his everlasting monument when dead, welcomed his entrance between her shores with the finest expressions of her loveliness.Champlain had come to his own, and his own received him g.adly.(Murray\u2019s \u201cLake

Prince Bismarck from the stage of active work in making the world\u2019s history it is well to recall the incidents which preceded it, and which are likely to be forgotten in the sympathy which is naturally felt at a great | man\u2019s fall.For this reason the special despatch from the World\u2019s correspondent in Berlin, which we publish this morning, is one which will command serious attention.Prince Bismarck cannot be looked upon altogether as the martyr to the whims of a young Emperor.While Kaiser Friedrich was dying at San Remo he took no pains to conceal his desire for the death of the suffering monarch and for the quick accession to the throne of the Prince, who he imagined would be- easilv kept under his own control.Dr.Mackenzie has told the world sufficient of the events of those days to enable us to judge of the Chancellor's methods and intrigues, which were the outcome of his hatred of the then Empress and the English influence in Berlin.Now the tables are turned.The Empress of a few months, once snubbed by her son, has regained her power in the councils of the Hohenzollerns, and the result has been the downfall of the official who abused his power in the attempt to maintain his supremacy indefinitely.It is well to have these little incidents brought to mentory just now, when the world 18 trying to make out of the ex-Chancellor a political

CHARXS OF SPRING ANGLING.The Beautiful and Gamy Brogl Trout.Whore He May Be Found and When He May Ie Caught\u2014Tlass of Various Kinds\u2014The Giant Silver King.° ANY men in all rzes have found angling a means of livelihood or a source of healthful recreation, \u201cSimon Peter said: \u2018I go a-fish- ing; and they said: \u2018We also will go with thee,?\u201d This quotation from St, John graces the title page of Izaak Wal- tou's famous book precisely as given above.Nineteen centuries ago the disciples of the Saviour earned their daily bread by \u201ccasting the net into the sea,\u201d and those who went with Simon Peter simply had to add their manual strength and dexterity to that of their leader.But \u2018\u2018times change, and we change with thom.\u201d Suppose a man of this later age meets a friend and in answer to a query, \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d the friend replies: *] intend to try my luck at the lakes for a week or so.\u201d 1f the questioner desires to go along he cannot start on the instant, as did the fishermen of old.Unless le is a regular sportsman and has his \u2018\u2018kits\u2019\u201d for all sorts of service, he must buy an outfit, suitable, say, for fly fishing.In detail and cost the purchases will look for something like this: Rod of split bamboo, greenhart or lance- wood, weight eight ounces, $10 to 873.Click drag reel, $5 to $50.Silk line, enameled and strong, £3.A fly hook, $5 to §15.Early spring trout flies, darkhackle, miller, or coachman, 25c.to $1.50 each, \"Fish basket, $2.50, Landing net, $5 to $15.A miscellaneous assortment of indispensables, such as a bait box, box of split shot, a clearing ring, sinkers and knife, $10 to $20.Besides these things, which are solely for the use of the fish, the angler must attend somewhat to his personal comfort.He should wear old clothes and warm ones, particularly if he intends to fish from a boat, and to these add a pair of hip rubber boots for brook and pond fishing, not forgetting in any event a suit of oil skins for use in rainy weather.Thus equipped for a contest with the members of the finny tribe, the angler of the early spring time may look about him and decide where to go and what sort of fish shall claim his attention.Railways have to so great an extent annihilated distance that the man of means and leisure may at small inconvenience cast his line either in the lakes of Minnesota, the rivers of Canada or the waters of the south Atlantic, and choose as the object of his pursuit anything from the small and beautiful brook trout to the giant tarpon that lurks along the reef bound coast of Florida, THE BROOK TROUT, The season for brook trout, by the way, has Just about begun, and if one is so fortunate as to own astretch of trout stream, or, if not, is able to purchase the privilege of a few hour's sport, he can find no better amusement than in trying conclusions with this little king of American fishes.Protected now in all his haunts by wise laws, and strictly guarded from human ignorance or avarice, the trout breeds in the fall, unlured by fly or bait, passes the winter in diguified repose, and when spring fairly opens and the game statutes permit the casting of the line is prepared to do vigorous battle with the unknown foe who holds the rod.Brook trout must needs exist under absolutely natural conditions in order to retain their rare virtues when placed upon the table.In many streanfs where they are preserved the fish are fed regularly on hashed raw meat.As a consequence they grow in size, but lose their savor and delicate flavor, the flesh becoming absolutely insipid.Anglers who desire to meet the brook trout in all his glorious independence and not as a liver fed serf will avoid the stocked ponds and streams near the large cities, where the fish come confidingly to the surface expecting to be petted, not slaughtered, and seek the brooks that dash and fume along the slopes of the Rockies or through the forests of the Adirondacks.The Rangeley lakes in Maine, once unequaled the world over for trout, are now exhausted, and perhaps, all things considered, the streams of Quebec afford the finest sport in this branch of angling at the present day.Probably the next best fish for light tackle after trout is the black bass.The black bass is a bronze backed fighter from \u201cway back,\u201d and he will give the wielder of the rod and reel ample employment for an bour at least before ho acknowledges himself vanquished.Almost any lake in the Northern United States or Canada can bonst the presence of this superb fish, but its post curious and safest home is in the reservoir at Central park, New York city.This artâcial body of Waicr was stocked with bass that the drinking supply of the metropoiis tuight be kept pure, and the plan has proved must succes-fif.The bass do their duty in the way of de ing minnows, and as a reward are expt from the wiles of the angler.Miunows, by (ie wa y, are considered the best bait for black bass, but many people get splendid results from trolling with large and gaudy thes The season opens about June 1.Besides trout and black bass the only fish protected by the laws of the United States are salmon and tle vigorous muskalonge.In the list of fishes available in the spring and unguarded by statutory regulations, the most attractive to the dweller by the sea is undoubtedly the striped bass.He can be found all along the Atlantic coast from Cape Cod to Florida, and the best places to look for him are among the reefs and rocky shoals at high tide Menhaden and shedder crab make the best bait, and the angler will find a one pound striped bass as gallant a fighter for life as its grandfather, which weighs ten times as much., The kingfish is also a gamy and attractive object of attention.He succumbs to the wiles of a small strong hook and shrimp bait.He usually swims low, and is a hard and steady puller.If one seeks to tackle the sheepshead he must search for that splendid ocean product among old wrecks and mussel shoals, and be sure to coax his majesty from BELOVED BY DLACK BASE.nis native depths with a heavy hook and wire snell, for the sheepshead has huge teeth and a powerful jaw with which to battle fe» liberty.Weakfish and bluetish are other forms of fine salt water game.The former, because of its tender mouth, must be handled very gently, and the best success can be secured with a six ounce split bamboo rod.\u2018\u2018But,\u201d says Charles Hallock, an accomplished sportsman, \u2018\u2018there is another mode still of taking weakfish, of which, verily, maby au old fisherman wot teth not.\u201cAttention, all: Take a \u2018cat rigged\u2019 boat, a craft with mainsail only, masts stepped well forward, one that works quickly, for quick work is required, and go to Fire Island Inlet at half ebb.At half ebh, or when the tide is running out like a mill tail, is the only time to take them.If youattempttheexperiment on the flood, you would lcse your boat and your life.Let there be a stiff quarteriig breeze, and now with a steady and a good rap full, bear right down on the beach, mounting the very crest of the waves that in ten seconds more will break into shivers on the sand, Keep a quick eye, a steady nerve and a ready hand.You will take the edge of a swift current where it pours out of the inlet.Fear not the mounting \u2018combers\u2019 or the breaking foam, the tide will bear you back and keep you off the shingle.A FLY FISEERMAN\u2019S SPRING OUTFIT.\u201cRight here at the mouth of the inlet the action of the tide is constyntly washing out the sand, and as it is borne down on the current it presently sinks by its own specific gravity and gradually piles up until it forms a little ledge a foot high or more.Right under the edge of this ledge the small fry congregate and \u2018tide runners\u2019 forage for food.Here throw your \u2018squid.\u2019 Just now is a critical instant.In two seconds you willeither be pounding on the beach or surging down on the impetuous current of the strong ebb tide.The breeze is blowing fresh.Up mounts your boat on the glassy billow, whose crest is foaming just two rods in front.A false move now is ruinous.Ready, about, hard down your helm! Now! while she shakes, toss your squid into the deep green brine.There, you have him! Keep her away and haul in lively, Hurrah! a four pounder!\u201d Bluefish are due along the Atlantic coast about June 1 and furnish good sport, but the tarpon is the leviathan with whom the skilled anglers delight to struggle.Thousands search for him through hours of patient waiting along the Florida coast.How few are fortunate in securing one of the glorious prizes may be seen from the following record of the best catches for the winter of 1889 and spring of 1890 made by visitors to Florida resorts: 8.T, Moore, Kansas City, 113 pounds; J.E.Broadhead, Flemington, N.J., 88 pounds; L.A.Budlong, Chicago, Ils., 70 pounds.The scales of the tarpon often measure three inches in diameter and are coated with a silvery substance.He is known as the silver king and is the largest of the finny tribe caught with rod and reel.\u2018While perhaps not so exciting as the forms of sport indicated above, the spring angling along theinland riversand lakes brings much satisfaction and substantial results.There is some compensation even in hooking a sucker, and one may get a battle royal when a huge Mississippi catfish swallows his bait.Shad are plentiful, and just shy enough to make the watery chase interesting, and pickerel, pike, whitefish and fresh water herring all amply reward the skillful angler.For whoever seeks amusement by the water\u2019s edge, let the reader, like Izaak Walton, \u2018\u2018wish him a rainy morning * * * and that if he be an honest angler the east wind may never blow when he goes a-fishing,\u201d Louis Bierbauer.Louis Bierbauer (or \u2018\u201cBauer,\u201d as he is generally known), who is to play second base in the Brooklyn Players\u2019 team during the coming season, was born Sept.28, 1865, at Erie, Pa.Hecommenced A his baseball career in 1883 with a semiprofessional team of his native city.After playing with several minor teams he signed with the Philadelphia Athletics, Through the release of Quest he was placed ong» second base and did well.For four seasons he guarded that position for the Athletics, playing more than five hundred championship games.He led in the official fielding averages of the American as sociation in 1887, ranking second in 1489 and fourth in 1886 and 1888.Everything considered, it is safe to count him as one of the coming \u2018\u2018stars.\u201d LOUIS BIERBAUER, Beauty of Person.Some excellent people take serious exception to Grant Allen's remark that, being a man, he tcok it for granted that the first business of a girl was'to be pretty.Now, it may be that Mr.Allen is not so far out of tHe way after all, It is certainly the duty of every woman, and man, too, to be as good looking as possible, because beauty gives pleasure to othen people.Beauty of person is the expression of something corresponding to it in the mind and soul, and is to be prized accordingly.True beauty comes from the cultivation of the higher graces of the mind and soul, as well as the care of the body, and cannot exist without this.A dried up old professor who knows forty\u2019 languages, and yet is weak eyed, lank haired, stoop shouldered and dyspeptic, is as far from being a perfectly developed man as the prize fighter.Of the two the prize fighter is far the more agreeable object to look at.The Greeks were nearer right than we think when they gave physical culture so high a place.So, girls and women of all ages, be as beautiful as you can.Make yourselves handsome by physical exer- Seen] dntellectual work and by cul- sw r and generoi kindly spirit to all mankind, 5 ve A.D.White and Coeducation.Ex-President White, of Cornell, is enthusiastically in favorof coeducationand) athletic exercises.Coeducation makes women more womanly and men more manly, he says.And \u2018sunshine, fresh air and vigorous physical exercises.are more important for girls than for boys Sven, because \u201cco-ed.\u201d girl students: in ir for study are apt to neglect, their bodies.In Lis Judgment no girl] should be permitted to take a course unless she also took a proper system of regular exercise in a gymnasium\u2019 jura: or elsewhere, _ THE CURIOSITY SHOP.à Northern Siberia\u2014A Region Where Es; tremes of Temperature Meet.i The northern coast of Siberia, sald Hon, @, @.Hubbard, in a recent address before the Geographic society at Washington, is a low plain.The rainfall is much greater than the evaporation; the rivers overflow their banks and the whole country for 4,000 miles in length and 300 miles in breadth is a great bog, called the Tundra, On these plains the ground remains frozen the greater part of the year to a depth of several hundrad feet.In midsummer the ground thaws about one foot in depth, and the top of this ice bed is covered with moss and lichens and many varieties of flowers, Under the lichens are found miniature pine forests one or two hundred years old\u2014the beginning of a coniferous region which extends from the Ural east to the neighborhood of the Sea of Okhotsk, 2,400 miles, and from the flfty-eighth to the seventieth parallel of north latitude, 600 miles, far north of the Arctic circle.In some parts of the Tundra an earth stratum alternates with a stratum of ice; and in these carcasses of elephants and rhinoceroses have been preserved for thousands of years, and the trunks of large trees with their roots bedded in the ice.In this dreary uninhabitable land, ice bound for nine months of the year, exposed to the fury of the fierce gales of the Arctic ocean, De Long lost his life, In summer the mercury rises to 102 degs., and falls from November to February to 40 degs.No other region can show such extremes.\u201cIt is colder than the North Pole and hotter than the equator.\u201d Easter Day Superstitions, There are a great number of queer superstitions attached to Easter day.Most\u2019 boys and girls bave heard of and wondered at the quaint notion that prevails in Germany among the children that the hare lays the many colored Easter eggs, and the English have an equally curious notion about the sun dancing on Easter morning.As to the origin of the superstition there appears to be no definite explanation, but doubtless many are familiar with Sir John Suckling\u2019s poem, \u201cThe Bride,\u201d in which occur the lines: But, oh, she dances such a way! No sun upon an Easter day Is half so fine a sight.In support of this belief the English peasants will tell you to look at the sun\u2019s reflection in a pond or other body of water on Easter morning, and you may see it dance.So you may, to be sure, and so you will on any morning in the year, if the water stirs ever so slightly, We need hardly add that in this country and generation these and similar superstitions are not believed in by intelligent persons.Where Forks Are Unknown.At least half the world know not the use of the fork, and fully one-quarter of all the men, women and children in it eat with their fingers, says & modern traveler, The Egyptian and the Turk pride themselves on their cleanliness in using fingers rather than forks, The forks, they say, have been in some other man\u2019s mouth, and you must depend on your servants for the cleaning.A large part of the 250,000,000 inhabitants of India eat with their fingers.The Burmese do not know the use of chopsticks, and the Siamese have the same table utensils as were used by Adam and Eve.The 400,000,000 Chinamen use in the neighborhood of 1,000,000,000 chopsticks every morning, noon and night, and the Korean carries his chopsticks wherever he goes.The chopstick is about as big around as a slate pencil and not much longer.They are made of wood, ivory or metal.It is customary at every first class Japanese hotel to give each guest a fresh pair of unused chopsticks at every meal.Foreign Fast Trains.The following table, from statistics col lected recently, is given by The Railroad and Engineering Journal to show the average speed of fast trains in different European countries: ~Speed per hour in miles.Including \u2018Without Country.stops.stops.Great Britain.417 44.6 France.32.8 26.2 Holland.32.5 35.0 Belgium .\u2026 81.8 33.5 North Germany.318 34.3 South Germany.31.2 33.0 Austria-Hungary.30.0 32.0 Jtaly.oeevereen cinnnnne 20.5 31.8 Russia.0.29.0 31.7 The great oriental express, which runs between Paris and Constantinople, passing over the railroads of a number of European countries, including Germany, is pronounced the fastest long distance express train run in Europe.Indian Honesty.An incident is told in Golden Days of one of the Indian boysat Hampton, Va., who did not like to take hismedicine, and bis nurse agreed to pay him so much every time he took it At first he was pleased with this arrangement, but one evening the nurse found thas he had made no marks on the card where he kept a record of the number of times he had taken medicine.She asked what it meant, and received an explanation from which many a white boy might learn a lesson, and spare his mother much trouble and annoyance: \u201cMe lay here all day doing nothing; you pay me for it\u2014not right.Me take medicine; me not take money.\u201d A Waste of the Noble Metals.A Chicago photographer has recently called attention to the great amount of money which is absolutely thrown away every year by the photographers of America.He says: \u201cIt is estimated that there is from forty to fifty thousand dollars\u2019 worth of nitrate of silver and gold used by the photographers every Year in Chicago alone, and as much more in the great state of Illinois\u201d He further es timates that if all the money that has been thrown away in solutions for washing and fixing photographs in the United States dur ing the past twenty-five years had been savéd it would amount to enough to retire every photographer in the country today with an independent fortune, \u2018What Three Days\u2019 Work Will Do, Edward Atkinson, the statistician, is credited with having shown distinctly that one man\u2019s work in Minnesota for one day produces the flour which one man would cons sume in a year; that another man\u2019s work for one day carries it to the market, and that a third man\u2019s work for one day puts it inte bread and on the table.That is to say, three days\u2019 work of one man is enough to produce the bread whiclf one man eats in a year.High Speed Vessels, Engineering says that Great Britain hag Now 10 war vessels of 3,000 tons and Upwar With a minimum speed of 19 knots; the Unj States, 8; France, 5; Spain, 3; Japan, 2, and Russia, 1.The United States accordingly NOW claim that, in the important matter of high speed war ships, they rank second, and ère not far behind Great Britain, Accessions to the Public Domain.Louisiana was purchased from Napol lotida Was bought from Spain, Alaska froi ussia, and Texas was annexed.\u2014 ;
