We all know If we take the wings of morning, and fly unto the uttermost parts of the earth, we are reasonably certain to find ahead of us a shrewd suave, well built, self-possessed man, Lim, for we see him everywhere.strength \u201d has been well exemplified in the case of the commercial men of the THE ASSOCIATION\u2019S HISTORY.{ i Just Twenty Years Old, But it Hans, Grown to Great Proportions.!

but the type grows higher yearly.The rollicking robustious drummer of a generation ago, who was always the life of the crowd in which he found himself, has gradually made way for the modern traveller who combines his good qualities and eschews his vulgarities.The commercial traveller of to-day is simply à good man of business who goes out to meet his customers instead of waiting for them to come to his office.4 He has all the qualities of.the good business man.Courteous, patient, tactful, postponing all sense of weariness while there is business to be done, clear-headed ; these are his mental characteristics.Plysically le is not usually ill to look upon.Most travellers have physical beauty enough to satisfy themselves and their innnediate coterie of lady friends, which is al that any reasonable man asks.Asa class they are well dressed, though they by no means rival the glories of their friends, th hotel clerks.The average commercial traveller.to be taken as a type, is, therefore, not too young, for freshness aboundeth in the morning, nor too old, because the enterprising and skilful traveller usually finds a comfortable office berth for himself by the time the gray comes stealing over his temples, but of an age where the energy of youth is mixed with the judgment of maturity; thoroughly \u201cup\u201d in his business ; industrious ; cot- scientious ; liberal-minded ; open-handed.He usually has done his duty to his country and has somewhere a home nest where at times he drops the weary round of business toils and cares and assumes the dignities and joys of a pater-familias.+ x * There are seven thousand men of this stamp in Canada.Organized as they are in three associations between which there are feelings of cordiality, they constitute one of the most influential bodies in the Dominion.They have never found it necessary to combine their forees to combat a wrong, or achieve a reform but it they ever do, something will be certain to give.In the line of business they have done much good.They are distributors of ideas.They keep the humblest hamlet in touch, in some measure, by their half-yearly visit, with the centres of commercial life and intellectual activity.They bring to the country merchant suggestions and advice as to business management which aid in keeping him from stagnating into dreary routine.Their avtistie and forceful achievements in the line of effective kicking have worked wonders in transforming country hotels from wretched places devoid of every comfort into hostelries wherein the weary traveller may take his case.The commercial \u201ctourist\u201d has his hand on the pulse of the Canadian people as no other has.He is brought in every part of Canada into relation with the small traders who ave in contact with the masses; and besides in moving about from place to place he makes it his business to taik with all kinds and conditions of men.A traveller after a three months trip can tell more about the actual condition of the country commercially and politically than any other man can.x +% * He is a necessity of the commercial organization as it exists to-day for it is now a case of Mahomet going to the mountain.In former days the small trader and country merchant made once or twice a year laborious journeys to the nearest centre of distribution.and there wade his purchases, which were then slowiy hauled by teams to his place of business.Forty years ago in Canada, Montreal was the rendezvous of the Upper Canada traders; aud the road from here to Toronto, along the St.Lawrence and Lake Ontario, was the parade ground of an uu-ending cavalcade of trade caravans, while the hospitable fires of the wayside taverns nightly lit the windows with a friendly glow.All this has changed.The poetry and romance of the old order of things have passed away ; the highway is devoted to purely local traffic; the taverns have crumbled into nothingness; while the train whirls by with its passenger coaches or its long line of freight cars behind.Tt is the new commercial dispensation which has changed the old manners and customs completely.With easy and rapid travelling and facilities for the prompt transmission of goods the advantage to the great houses in having men on the road visiting their old patrons and hunting up new ones became more and more marked until now the system is universally accepted.Some of the Montreal houses keep ewenty men on the road almost continuously and not a village of Canada is missed by them in their travels.The services they do to Montreal is not te be lightly considered; for every customer they get adds something to that stream of commeree which slowly but steadily augmenting, is lifting Montreal higher and higher among the great cities of the world.* x * The traveller is not a hero.Poets do not roll their eyes in a wild frenzy in attempts to record his achievements; and the novelist leaves him far atield\u2014but in his own way, and in his own field he is doing a good work for Canada.He isa soldier in the army of commerce which leaves fructifying agencies and not desolation in its wake ; and to his earnestness, his industry, courage and tact, much of the growth of Canadian trade in the last generation is due.It is to bring a sense of They had to pay full rates on the rail- | roads, excess baggage was an everlasting vexation to the spirit, and hotel bills showed no discount even to the constant patron.About 1870 an association was formed in Toronto, and was known as the Commercial Travellers\u2019 Association of Canada.In 1872 it was still the only one in the country, with a membership of 400.The Montreal men belonged to this Association, and there was here a local board in deference to the large proportion of thegeneral membership which they formed.This board was composed of two of the vice-presidents, the late Andrew Robertson and Jaïînes A.Cantlie, A.F.Gault, James O\u2019Brien, Joseph Mulhol- land, W.R.Wonham, and Stephen Caldecott.After a time the feeling was born, and grew apace, that the connection was detrimental to the travellers here, that it was an anomaly to have the commercials of this Province under the control of an executive in Toronto, and that it was quite feasible to form an association for Quebec.With such practical business men as were on the Montreal board there could be only one logical outcome to the restlessness of the time.Having ascertained from the various transportation companies that the same facilities would be accorded to the members of a Montreal Association as were enjoyed by the To- routo one, the determination was reached to form an independent organization.It was on a stormy winter's evening, Saturday, February 22nd, 1875, that the local board of directors met in the St.Lawrence Hall, and resigned from the C.T.A.of Canada in a body.They immediately organized the new Association, adopting the name, ** Dominion Commercial Travellers\u2019 Association.\u201d The officers elected were : President, Andrew Robertson.Vice-President, James A.Cantlie.Council, Andrew F.Gault, James O\u2019Brien, Joseph Mulholland, Walter R.Wonham, Stephen Caldecott.Secretary- Treasurer, Rollo C.Simpson.Of these Mr.Robertson, is dead, and Mr.Caldecott is now the senior partner in the wholesale firm of Caldecott, Burton & Spence.of Toronto.The others are still prominent Montrealers.No time was lost in getting the new Associa tion on its feet.The secretary began to issue certificates on the Monday tollow- ing, and from that day the history of the Association has been one of steady progress in every way.The first few years were marked by little that was eventful.The officers worked indefatigably to place their Association on a sound financial basis.The wembers got all the advantages of hotel rates and reduced transportation charges which had been obtained by the Association, but there was uot means available for the payment of death benefits or other financial aid to the families of deceased members, During these years, however, there was à concinued and rapid increase in the surplus which was set aside to the credit of the capital account.From 1882 may be dated the prosperous epoch of the Association.The surplus having accumulated until there was &35,000 in safe investments the directors felt that they were justified in making provision for the payment, on the death of a member from natural causes, of from $200 to £500 to his family, according to the length of his membership.The maximumipfwas raised to $800 in 1884.The Association also undertook to pay the premiums for an surance of 81,200 on the life of each nf its members.À very practical work wbich was taken in hand about this time was the fighting of the tax imposed on commercial travellers by several cities, a work which involved much trouble and anxiety, as well as heavy legal expenses.the services rendered by him more nearly home to the public that this issue of the Herald is published.| scheme was adopted in September, 1884, ' the originator of it being Mr.Sumner, who was then president.It was designed to provide for the education of the children of deceased members.Candidates must be nine years of age, and they are maintained in school until they are fourteen.There are at present six vacancies at the A pleasing feature of the annual meeting held in December, 1884, was the presentation to Mr.Simpson of oil portraits of his wife and himself, as a mark of the esteem in which he was held by the members.He hadjacted as secretary- treasurer for nine years, and the zeal with which Le labored must be reckoned as one of the factors in the growth of the Association.During the year 1886 the Dominion Commercial Travellers\u2019 Mutual Benefit Society was organized under a separate board of management.Its object is to pay benefits to the widows of members, and it is conducted on the assessment system.In the same year the Association assumed the insurance of members itself, and found that a considerable saving could be effected by so doing.The yearly paymen.s for death claims since 1884 have been as follows: 1884, 83.200 ; 1885, 83,700 ; 1886, $10, 000 ; 1887, $6,400 ; 1888, $6,800; 1889, $7,600 ; 1890, $10,800 ; 1891, $6,175 ; 1802, $14,400 ; 1893, $11,900 ; 1894, $21,060.The headquarters of the Association were removed to the corner of St.James and McGill Streets in the spring of 1888, remaining there until the opening of the September of the same year à couple of hundred members and their wives enjoyed a uiemorable excursion to Boston and New York.In 1891 the Commercial Travellers\u2019 Associations of Maine and New Hampshire paid à visit to Montreal, the first occasion of the kind, and were hospitably received by the Montreal Association and by the Corporation.Previous £01890 the annual meeting was always held in two sessions, an afternoon one, at which the annual reports were read, and an evening sitting for its discussion and the scrutineers\u2019 report on the poll; but in this year it was first held in one session, an evening one.This was found to work much better than the old system.Of the work of the Association in the Inst few years little need he said.Its re- p> ey - t The following year saw the Association in a home of its own.Rooms were STONEWALL JACKSON\u201d CICAR Board of Trade building in 1893.In: 7 = «5% Tae Ve A À C Gus pres 5 5h.Cr ec 7 À .! = rot gn ¥ Foo HE, PRICE ONE CENT.cord has been ome of uninterrupted prosperity, and the surplus has mounted up by leaps and bounds.Many things are proposed for the future, some of which will probably be adopted.The capital fund will soon have reached such dimensions that the interest accruing from it will in itself form a handsome income.One plan which is certain to be put into operation is the establishment of a fund for old members who have fallen on hard times in the winter of their age, through no fault of their own.As time goes on other schemes will be adopted, tending to still further increase the usefulness of the Association.The succession of presidents has been as follows: 1875-8.2022220 00000 Andrew Robertson 1879-81.James A.Cantlie.1882 .Alexander Gowdey.18834.George Sumner.1835 .George Boulter.1886 .ooeriiniiiiinns R.B.Hutchison.1887 2.222200 .D.L.Lockerby.1888-9 overran Fred Birks.1890 22000000 .\u2026 Gustave Piche.1891-2 .Fred Hughes.1893 2.000000.George L.Cains.1894 enn .David Watson.1305 22120000 \u2018Col.Fred Massey.The growth of the Association is strikingly shown by the following figures, showing the total membership and the amount of the accumulated surplus in each year: C \u2019 - \\ _\u2014., ES Nat { 1840 : LE Ee.TEL, TEENS eee a There\u2019s a reason for it.Think it over!

Club.New York, Feb, 15.\u2014The annual meeting of the New York Yacht Club was held last night at the Club House.The report of the Committee on revising the racing rules came u for action, and after some discussion the following rules were adopted, ihe changes being very radical.The most important change is in racing measurement; herctofore it has been the custom to measure length of water line.Under the new rule, measurements will be by racing length.Lord Dnnraven\u2019s request that the allowance of crew per boat be regulated by racing length, met with the approval of the Committee.The date of the annual regatta was fixed for Juno 13, Ogden Goelet, in a letter, made his usual offer of $1.000 for a cup for schooners,and $500 for a cup for sloops.New crew limit was

enough on many tracks in the United States, but trotting races with the thermometer down to degrees below zero are a decided novelty.Trotting on the ice is the latest outdoor sport in the United States, though it has boen well known for years in Canada, the Ottawa Winter Trotting club having recently held its twenty-first annual meet.As goon as it became fashionable tle inventor at once set to work, and the result of his labor is the sulky sleigh, which is made of tempered steel and hickory.It welghs but 30 pounds, yet is strong enough to support tbe necessary weight.The shafts are like those of an ordinary sulky, the seat being high to allow the driver to seo ahead.Trotting on the ice is said to be good for crippled horses, especially those with bad fect and legs, the snow tending to allay inflammation.Consequently many owners winter their animals at Saratoga, which is the great center of ice trotting in the east.Tho Saratoga Trouting asscola- tion bas a fine track at Woodlawn Oval, where tho ice meeting this year began on Fob.8.The Canadian circuit includes the racing associations in the oities of Hamilton, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Quobeo and several minor points.At Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa the trotting mects are hold in connection with tho regular winter carnivals.The Jacques Cartier track at Montreal is one of the flnest ice tracks in the world and attracts many owners from Buffalo and other points on the United States side the border to its annual meets, the tenth of which bas lately been held.Cope Stinson and Barney Demarest are two of the best known circuit drivers in New York state who have gone with a \u2018 string of horses to try to win some British gold from the Canadians.The northwest has taken kindly to the sport, and the ice racing circuit includes St.Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, Stillwater, Hastings, Red Wing and Faribault, in Minnesota, and Eau Claire and Fergus Falls, in Wisconsin.Lively sport is expected, for the horsos are above the average and closely matched.TRY RADNOR.BRITISH COMMONS.Joseph Chamberlain Attacks the Programme of the Government.London, Feb.15.\u2014In the House of Commons to-day Sir Edward Grey, in response to an inquiry as to the condition of affairs in Hawaii, suid that Mr, Hawse, the British Commissioner, had been instructed by cable to ask for the delay of the execution of the Englishman Rickard who had been condemned to death by the court martial, as he had been convicted of complicityonly in the rising or of actual participation, without having had a fair and open trial, with full opportunity to defend himself against the accusations made against him.In cither case the evidence on which the sentence of Rickard is based is to be sent home, and Mr Hawse has been directed to act in concert with his United States colleague, who has received similar instrue- tions from his Government in the case of the American, Seward, who was also condemned to death.Ou the resumption of the debate on the address in reply to the Queens Speech opening the Session.Mr.Joseph Cham- berluin offered an ameudment declaring that 1t was contrary to the public interest for the time of Parliament to be occupied in the discussion of measures which, according to the Ministers\u2019 own statements, had no prospect of passing into law, while proposals involving grave constitutional changes had Leen announced, on which the judgment of Parliament should be taken without delay.In speaking of his amendment, Mr.Chamberlain said that the Unionists in the House desired to impugn the latest electoral device, consisting of wasting the time of the House in the discussion of measures which were not ox.pected to pass, but had been introduced in order to confuse the issue now before the people and destroy the inevitable condemnation which awaited the primary policy of the Government, The refusal of the Government declared Mr.Chamberlain, to disclose the terms of their proposed resolution against the House of Lords, was disrespectful to the House.The Government was tottering and could not longer represent the interests of Great Britain in the counsels of Europe.Neither could it: enact measures for the enforcement of its domestic policy.The Rt.Hon.Herbert Asquith, the Home Secretary, in reply to Mr.Chamberlain said that it.would not be the Government\u2019s fault, but the fault of the House of Lords if the measure did not become law.Mr.Henry Lubouchere, the Radical leader, said that the members of his party were dissatisfied because a leader (Lord Rosebery) who was a member of the House of Lords, had been planked upon it.Mr.Labouchere blamed Lord Rosebery for pandering to the \u201cJingo\u201d party.Continuing he said there had undoubtedly been a change in the attitude of the Liberal officialdom since the retirement of Mr.Gladstone, both in regard to Home Rule and the position of the House of Lords.The chunge was due to the influence of Lord Rosebery.Mr.Labouchere warned the Government that the country had not changed its views of the question, but demanded the abolition of the House of Lords.He urged the Government not to pursue a course which would only lead to disaster.lu reply to questions usked on the subject, the Right Hon.James Bryce, President of the Board of Trade, said that the report of tue flonting derelicts committees shows the fruitlessness of attempt to search for derelicts on the well-defined Atlantic Ocean routes.CONVERSAZIONE.STUDENTS OF THE FACULTY OF ARTS OF MeGILL AT HOME.A Dazzling Scene In Molson Hall Music Song and Recitations,

feet away from the burning building, but the wind was blowing in the opposite direction and it escaped with a scorchrng.No.14 reel and No.10 engine of the City Department turned out, and confined the

ST.JOHN ST.THESE ARE MARVEL RAILWAY GOSSIP.Trouble Said to be Brow.ng Between the CH:R.and G.TR.Chicago, Feb.15.\u2014While Chairman Caldwell, of the Western Trunk Committee is industriously patching up his fences in the West, the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk are raising trouble in the East.The former is largely of the opinion that the demoralizing tactics of the Grand Trunk are being actively, encouraged by some of the Lneék which are members of the committee: Pranzible proof of this is flacking and it #8 well for the preservation of the committee agreement that it cannot be found.Considerable sympathy is felt by some of the western lines for the Grand Trunk, which they thrcatened in a shabby manner when the agreement was in process of incubation.When it looked as though a war with the Canadian Pacific was inevitable there was nothing too much for the Western lines to do for the i Grand Trunk, nothing too nice for them to say of it.Then thc C.P.R.made overtures and the Western lines tossed out the Grand Trunk without an instant\u2019s delay, telling it in so many words that it was not too much of a mailroad, anyhow.Since that tie the Grand Trunk has ovpr-looked notlring that may tend to, break up the committee agreement and the Canadian Pacific believes in receiving help in its efforts to secure Canadian Pacific business from some of the committee lines which at this late day are bezinning to repent of the manner in which the Grand Trunk was treated.There is the making of a beautiful row in the situation as it stands and one instance of cold hard proof is all the Canadian Pacific wants to begin the trouble.Here's the biggest lot of good news you've ever seen sold for one cent.- MARINE INTELLIGENCE, Movements of Ocean Steamships.Feb.15 Arrived

Wardell\u2019s Hall and considered the situation in reference to the troubles at the institution culminating yesterday in the discharge by the government of rofessor Dale.The sympathy of the students was strongly with Professor Dale and resolutions were pussed pledging the students one and to all abstain from attending any lectures until the government consents to grant a commission to inquire into the troubles at the University.\u2018The classical association at separate meetings pledged its members to attend no meeting until Mr.Dale is reinstated.Mr.Helms, fellow in Latin of the

Wilson Barrett's Company drew a crowded louse to the Queen\u2019s last night.The Hamlet presented 7 by Mr.Barrett is a scholarly piece of work and loth technically and as a work of art it would be difficult to criticise it adequately.Mr.Barrett gives his audiences a character quite in keeping with the text.Of course everyone who has read and studied Shakespeare\u2019s musterpiece has their own idea of the central figure, and, no doubt, many of those who saw him last night as he was put before them by the talented English actor shook their heads at him as not *\u2018their\u201d Hamlet.But there is ample room to read the character Mr.Barrett shows us into the poet's lines.On the point of Hamlet\u2019s madness, that bone of critical contention which we will have with us always, largely because of the indefiniteness of the textin that regard, Mr.Barrett assumes that the rcyal Dane feigned insanity.In presenting the character in this light he has a harder task to sustain it historically than if he adopted a contrary view.The acting becomes necessarily more sybtle, and greater demands are made upon the actor Needless to say Mr.Barrett was equal to the task.His work was marked by the conscientiousness of the true artist and student.The grandeur of the conception was sustained throughout, not only in its broader and more salient points, but in each minutest detail.Mr.Barrett's production of Hamlet may take rank with the chiefest productions of that tragedy, and spart from questions as to his reading of Hamlet's character, which are after all merely literary questions, it will stand as one of the most acceptable portrayals of what is the most inscrutable and sphinx-like character in any literature.A fairer or sweeter Ophelia one could not wish to see than Miss Jeffries, and her portrayal of the character met with the entire and undisguised approval of the audience.Her acting in the mad scene, so pathetic a portion of Ophelin\u2019s life, deserves unstinted praise, and that it took with the audience was evidenced by the ovation which she received at the close of the act.The support was good, though perhaps not up to that when Mr.Barrett Tost played \u201cHamlet\u201d here.Ambrose Manning still gares us a delightful presentation of the \u2018ist Gravedigger, and his dialogue with Hamlet was very well done.Franklin Me- Leay ia eminently fitted to the part of the Ghost, aud his delivery of his lines wus excellent, \u2018The other male members of the cast did well.Miss Hoffmun\u2019s Queen was a repal presentation of a part which often guflers on the stage.She appeared to especial advantage in the interview with Hamlet in the third act.All the aid which the performance could receive from its setting it had.The staging of the play, as Mr.Barrett does it, adds doubly to its interest, and fails not of the appreciation of the house.The scenery and costumes useil ure above praise, and the atmospheric effects, beautiful in themselves, form no small part in the tout ensemble, The circulation of the Merald is | three times as great as it was one year ago.Seeing this paper, can you wonder at it.\u2014 \u2014

he loaned money at an advanced rate of interest per month, and his clientelle was very large.Before his arrest Harry P.Hyams had caused a number of suits to be instituted in the Circuit Court : against his debtors.These actions are still pending.Yesterday Mr.W.S.Walker, coun- gel for one of the defendants, made a motion to the Court, asking that plaintiff, Hyams, be obliged to furnish security for costs, as he no longer possesses any domicile in the Province of Quebec, his present domicile, being in Toronto fail.The law obliges persons residing outside the Province to furnish security for costs in all suits prought hy them.In this case the question arose whether Hyams has really lost his domicile in Quebec, because his absence is not voluntary.The Court granted delay to allow Hyams\u2019 counsel to file an affidavit, declaring that he still has a domicile in this Province, but that circumstances oblize him to remain absent.In a recent case in which a lady sued Mr.McDermott for breach of promise, and ia which judgment was rendered by Judge Mathieu, it was decided that the plaintiff must always fupnish security for costs, though the absence is only temporary and not meant to he permanent, The lady in question had gone to reside in New York, and she was ordered to give security for costs, under penalty of having the action dismissed.TRY RADNOR.FAMILY BURNED TO DEATH.Newcastle, Ky., Feb, 15.\u2014Thejhouse of Frauk Jones, near Drennon Springs, caught fire last night while the family were sleeping and Jones\u2019 wife and two children were burned to death.Jones was so badly burned that he will not recover.COLORED PREACHLER'S FRAUD.Now in Jail and May be Lynched by His Dunes.Shelby, Miss, Feb.15.\u2014J.F.Seals, colored preacher, representing himself as the agent of the International emigration Society of Birmingham, Ala, proposed to transport einigrants to Africa at $41 each.He collected $4,- 600.He tod the negroes tae ship would sail Saturday, 20th, and then disappeared.Seals was arrested at Greenville, Miss,, and brought to Shelby, and rumors are that he will be lynched by his dupes.TRY RADNOR.RIVER BOAT BURNED AT WASHINGTON.Washington, Feb.15.\u2014The Lady of the Lake, onc of the oldest excursion steamers of the Potomac, was burned to the waters edge early this morning at her wharf, in this city.Loss, 830,000.TRY RADNOR.MGR.SATOLLI TO GO TO LISBON.Rome, Feb.15.\u2014It is reported in semiofficial Vatican circles that in order that there shall be no departure from the usual custom in the promotion of Apostolic Deletes abroad, Mgr.Satolli, the delegate to He United States, will be appygnted Nuncio at Lisbon, prior to being cre a Cardinal.| THE DEFENCE BEGINS.No Theory, Only a Denial of Harry Hay ward's Guilt.Minneapolis, Feb.14,\u2014It was the defences turn in the Hayward murder trial to-day, and there was eager curiosity to learn what course Attorney Erwin and his assistants would pursue.When John Day Smith rose to address the jury, Harry faced squarely around to the jury and scanned their faces as the words fell from the lips of his counsel.Before the court opened, he found \u2018time to tell the reporters that the report in a morning paper to the effect that he had remarked: \u2018They are going to hang me,\u201d was unqualifiedly false, and that he had never given utterance to any such statement.Attorney Smith in addressing the jury, called attention ta the number of things the State had promised at the outset to prove, and which he said had not been proven.It had not shown that Hayward had secured all of Misg Ging\u2019s money, as she had a balance in the bank at her death; it had not shown that Harry had gone riding with her the Wednesday, and Saturday evenings before the murder as promised.Mr.Smith declared that the insurance transactions, the acquiring of an insurance interest and the waivure of assault clause, of which much had been made by the State, were all in the ordinary course of business, and not in any way unsual.The sweat-box method of wringing so-called confessions from Blixt and Adry Hayward were referred to in denunciatory terms.The defence admitted that Harry was a gambler, and deplored the fact, but asserted that he was not on trial for gambling but for murder, He said: \u201cYou will doubtless want to know what is the theory of the defence.Gentlemen, we have no theory.Theories have hung many a man.You must be convinced of the guilt of the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt.We will also establish a complete alibi for Harry Hayward] at the time when he was said to have been at the Kenwood Boulevard giving Blixt directions.\u2019 Nearly the whole afternoon was spent in the examination of a number of police officers, who swore that there wera pointed shoe tracks and buggy wheel marks at the scene of the tragedy.There was nothing especially significant, in that, for the officers had two buggies at the scene, and the doctor had driven one.Then the alibi theory was begun and forty minutes were spent questioning the usher at the Grand Opera House, over a point which the State will admit that Harry was at the theatre with Miss Bartleson, the night of the mur- THE VOTERS LISTS.They Are Far From Being Ready for an Eleciicn.(Special to the Herald.)

over him and he obeyed her commands implicitly.D.S.Donohue, Brusscau\u2019s attorney will make his defence on the theory that his client was hypnotized at the time the murder was committed and hence was not accountable for his actions.MR, @MALLEY INJURED.Mr.W.J.O\u2019Malley, Manager of the Montreal office of the wholesale millinery house of D.McCall and Co., Toronto, met with a painful accident on Wednesday last.Directly back of the Notre Dame Street office is a courtyard, from whence goods are hoisted into the store.In addition to the usual ropes attached to the hoisting apparatus, there is also a stationery rope.Mr.O'Malley is in the habit of using this latter rope to steady himself in passing to the adjoining building which has an exit on St.James Street.On the day on which the accident occurred he unfortunately grasped one of the ropes attached to the pulley, and fell a distance of 16 feet into the yard below, breaking his ankle.Mr.O\u2019Malley was conveyed by several friends to the Royal Victorias Hospital, where he at present occupies a private ward.His injuries, while painful, are not as serious as at first feared, and a month will probably see him about again.The circulation of the Herald is three times as great as it was one year age.Secing this par es, can you wonder at it.COLORADO CATTLE HEALTHY.Denver, Feb.15.\u2014A resolution framed by State

remained.Be that as it may no Government can now step backward, and it must force the Manitoba Government to repair an injustice which has already lasted too long.This task naturally falls upon the present Government, and we hope it will do its duty.Even though it should succumb, it will at least have fallen gloriously.If it retreats it goes to almost certain defeat.More than this, if the Catholics understand their duties properly, no Government, Conservative or Liberal, can remain in power at Ottawa as long as this question has not been settled upon the lines of equity and practice.DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.A Servant Girl Disappointed in Love Suicides.A young woman named Leda Howard, who was employed as a servant in the family of Mr.Elliott, Shaw Street, committed suicide Thursday night by swallowing undiluted carbolic acid.The cause of suicide was supposed to have been disappointed love, and the manner of doing the deed which she tcok was of a rather startling nature, Late Thursday, Miss Howard, um- known to the Elliott family, emptied hall a bottle of carbolic acid which was kept for medicinal use and \u2018took the portion with her ta the home of the parents of the young man in the question, who had, it is believed, refused to marry her, She spoke with the family for some time and then went upstairs to the \u2018bath room alone.Here she swallowed the contents of the bottle and rushed down stairs screaming from the effects of the burning acid.She told the startled family what she had done, and the ambulance of the General Hospital was immediately called for.The young woman was quickly removed.She died after terrible suferings at the Hospital.This is the only paperin Canada, that issues half-tone illustrated editions at one cent per copy.SILK

officer.\u201cWhen an in- sane person is brought before me all that can do is to order their detention in the common jail.Article 3,029 of the Revised Statutes as amended, states that within a reasonable time the jail physician shall make an examination and then forward it to the Sheriff, who in turn is bound to send it to the Provincial Secretary, who is commanded to send them, if insane, to the nearest asylum.\u201d \u2018Has this been done in the case of the seven parties now in jail ?\u201d \u201cI cannot say; I have done what the law requires of me, and have no doubt the Sheriff will carry out the law.\u201d The Sheriff is now in Europe.It is a well known fact the seven insane people now in jail have been there for a considerable time.The Provincial Secretary should look into this serious question as only last week one of the guards was nearly murdered by one of them.BATYLED WITH THE STORM.Halifax.N.S., Feb.15.\u2014The steamer Oakdene, from Hamburgon January 14th via

feared a holt on the part of the young men of the party and 30 took steps yesterday to keep them within the fold.It is pretty well settled that in the united counties of Three Rivers and St.Maurice,

goods houses have been victims of shop lifters and recently a sharp watch has been kept in the various establishments.Wednesday afterncoa, between five and six o'clock, two respectably dressed women entered the wholesale establishment of Messrs.Guuit Bros, on $t.Helen Street, and asked a clerk to show him silks.While he was doing so one of the ladies strolled around the store, but a sharp eye was kept on her movements and when she coolly pockstted a dozen of silk handkerchiefs worth $10 the clerk pounced upon her.The pair were then taken to the office and held until Chief Detective Cullen could be communicated with.On that officer\u2019s arrival he searched them and found the handkerchiefs on the person of a woman who called herself May Smith, wife of John Grant, and said she lived on St.Charles Borrommee Street.The other woman said her name was Bessie Superior, and that she lived on St.Dominique Strest.They were conveyed to the Central Police Station, and locked up for the

new up to 18413.Cable was firm and Richelieu a half point stronger.\u2018Toronto Railway was very dull.In bank stocks very little was done, the only husinèss dnring ti* day being a few each of Merchrnts and Montreal at fairly steady prices.We hear of no change in the money nwrket, the ruling rate for call loans still being 312 to 4 per cent, with time loans offered on easy terms.Meredith & O'Brien's Montreal market letter said : Street Railway has been the feature of the market to-day.The transactions were large and it closed very strong.With the exception of some selling of Gas and a little Richelieu there was scarcely anything else doing.The movement in Cable has flattened out and had it not been for Streei Railway the market would lave been heavy.The highest, lowest and closing prices, total sales and net changes from yesterday's closing prices for actual sales in the local market were as.follows : MORNING BOARD.Sales.High.Low, Close.Chge.1523 Montreal St.Ry.188 185 188 +4} 1868 Montreal St.Ry New L184 183 183% t+} 430 Gas.198 193 103 52 Cable .113} 145} 145% 125 Riche x.div.84 681 94 +t} 25 Toronto Street Ry.74 74 74 té 1 Bank of Montreal.2200 220 220 $1,000 Dom.Cot.Bds.1004 1004 1004 t Advanced.Total shares sold, 4,044 and $1,000 bonds.: * AFTERNOON BOARD.| # Sales.High.Low.Close.# 760 Montreal Street Ry 1864 185} 1864 1200 Street Ry., new.1844 1834 134 13 Toronto Ry.T4 4s 74 100 Richelieu, 94} o4 94 20 Merchant 1644 164 1C4 31 Cable.145% 145} 143% Ever notice the good things in he \u201cWant Columns\u201d of the élerald ?NEW YORK GOSSIP.\u2018Meredith and O'Brien's New York gossip said Ontario and Western statement for Dec.31 quarter.Net earnings, $303,227.In 1803, $301,379.Other income in 1894, $18,750.In 1893, same.Total in 1894, $321,977, in 1893, $320,120.Surplus in 1894 $100,538, in 1893 $96,870.National Lead directors met yesterday and declared a dividend of 134 per cent.on the preferred stock payable March 15.Books close Feb, 23.Boston special + The directors of B.Q.meet next Tuesday at 11 o'clock to take action upon dividend.The announcement will be made as heretofore from the Boston Stock Exchange.Reports from Chicago say there is a bitch in the Gas programme by which contemplated changes may not take place at present.President Billings is reported to have left Chicago for New York.Later:\u2014President Billings is in New York.He tells us he knows of no hitch in Gas matters, Manhattan Elevated statement for Dec.31 quarter.Gross earnings in 1804, $2,- 517,204, in 1893, $2,727,735;

if we gang separate we make twee of them; the more likelihood to stave in upon some of these gentry of yours, And then, second, if they keep the track of us, it may come to a fecht for it yet, Davie, and then I'll confess I would be blythe to have you at my ox- ter, and I think you would be none the worse of having me at yours.So, by my way of it, we should creep out of this Wood no further gone than just the inside of next minute and hold away east for Gillane, where I'm to find my ship.It'll be like old days while it lasts, Davie, and (come the time) we'll have to think what you should be doing.I'm wae to leave ye here wanting me.\u201d \u201cHane with ye, then!\u201d says I.\u201cDo ye Bang back where you were stopping?\u201d \u201cDe'il a fear!\u201d said Alan.\u201cThey were good folks to me, but I think they would boa good deal disappointed if they saw my bonny face again, for the way times 80 lam nae just what ye could call a Welcome guest, which makes me the keener for your company, Mr.David Balfour of the Shaws, and set ye upl ur, leave aside twa cracks here in the wood with Charlie Stewart, I hae scarce said black or white since the day we parted at Corstorphine,\u201d With which he rose from his place, and We began to move quistly eastward through the wood.Quietly CHAPTER X11.OF THE MARCH AGAIN WITH ALAN, It was likely between 1 and 2.\u201crhe Inoon (as I have said) was down.À strongish wind, carrying a heavy wrack | of cloud, had set in suddenly from the Tost, and we began our movement in as Black à night as ever a fugitive or a ry erer wanted.The whiteness of the p guided us into the sleeping town of Troughton, thence through Picardy.A TnI a + weer &htln an upper window of Lochend, Steering by this, but a good teal at random, and with some trampling of the harvest and stumbling and talling down upon the banks, we made our ray âcross country and won forth a upon the linky, boggy mainland t they call the Figgate whins.Here, under a bush of whin, we lay down the remainder of that night and slumbered.The day called us about 5.A beauti- roing was, the high wester wind still blowing strong, but the ous blown away to Europe.Alan was already sitting up and smiling to him- - If wae my first sight of my friend We were paridd, aadi locked upon green Pentlands, and the pleasantness of the day appeared to set Alan among nettles.\u201cI feel like a gomeral,\u201d says he, \u201cto be leaving Scotland on day liko this.It sticks in my head.I would maybe like it better to stay here and hing.\u201d \u201cAye, but ye would nae, Alan,\u201d said L \u201cNo but what France is a good place, t00,\u201d he explained; \u201cbut it's some way no the same.It's brawer, I believe, but its no Scotland.I like it fine when I'm there, man, yet I kind of weary fur Scots divots and the Scots peastreek.\u201d \u201cIf that\u2019s all you have to complain of, Alan, it\u2019s no such great affair,\u201d said L \u201cAnd it set me ill to be complaining whatever,\u201d said he, \u2018and me but new out of yon de'il's haystack.\u201d \u2018And so you were unco\u2019 weary of your haystack?\u201d \u2018\u201cWeary\u2019s nae word for it,\u201d said he.\u201cIm not just precisely a man that's easily cast down, but I do better with caller air and the lift above my head.Im like the auld Black Douglass (was nae\u2019t?) that likit better to hear the la- verock sing than tho mouse cheep.And yon place, ye see, Davie\u2014whilk was a very suitable place to hide in, as I'm free to own\u2014was pit mirk from dawn to gloaming.There were days (or nights, fur how would I tell one from other?) that seemed to me as long as a long winter.\u201d \u201cHow did you know the hour to bide your tryst?\u201d I asked.\u201cThe goodman brought me my meat and a drop bravely, and a candledowp to eat it by, about eleeven,\u201d said he, \u201cso, when I had swallowed a bit, it would be time to be getting to the wood.There I lay and wearied for ye sore, Davie,\u201d says he, laying his hand on my shoulder, \u201cand guessed when the two hours would be about by\u2014unless Charlie Stewart would come and tell me on his watch\u2014 and then back to the dooms haystack.Na, it was a driech employ, and praise the Lord that I have warstled through with it.\u201d \u201cWhat did you do with yourself?\u201d I asked.\u201cFaith,\u201d said he, \u2018the best I could.\u2018Whiles I played at the knucklebones\u2014 Im an extraordinary good hand at the Knucklebones\u2014but its a poor piece of business playing with naebody to admire yo.And whiles I would make songs.\u201d \u201cWhat were they about?\u201d says I.\u201cOh, about the deer and the heather,\u201d says he, \u201cand about the ancient old chiefs that are all by with it long syne and just about what songs are about in general.And then whiles I would make believe I had a set of pipes and I was playing.I played some grand springs, and I thought I played them awful bon ny; I vow whiles that I could hear the sequel of them! But the great affair is that it's done with.\u201d \u2018With that he carried me again to my adventures, which he heard all over again with more particularity and extraordinary approval, swearing at intervals that I was a \u2018\u2018queer character of a callant.\u201d \u201cSo yo were frich\u2019ened of Sym Fraser?\u201d he asked once.\u201cIn troth wes I!\u201d cried I.\u201cSo would I have been, Davie,\u201d said he, \u201cand that is indeed a dreadful man.But it is only proper to give the de\u2019il his due, and I can tell you he isa most re- snectable person on the field of war.\u201d (To be continued.)

PRAISEWORTRY EFFORTS re O Fore The Canadian Government to Insure THE PURITY OF LIQUORS.The great importance of purity in lig- uors is generally understood ;as also is the fact that one of the chief essentials to the purity of wnisky is that the spirit should be kept for a considerable time under conditions favorable to the elimination of certain properties of an unwholesome character.It has long been conceded that the best results are obtained from storing whisky in oak casks in well ventilated buildings kept at the proper temperature.Unfortunately, however, it is comparatively easy to so manipulate the spirit as to make it appear well matured, while the injurious elements are not removed, but merely concealed by the added ingredients, which are themselves often decidedly unwholesome.In this way any but the keenest, judges may be deceived until the after-effects reveal the truth.Happily the Canadian Government has for many years recognized this fact and made ample provision for the protection of the public, so far as native whiskies are concerned, by enabling the Canadian discil- lers to bottle their product before it has passed out of the control of its officials.The age of whisky so bottled is guaranteed by a certificate of the Excise Department, placed over the capsule of the bottle.Ours is, we believe, the only Government in the world which follows such a course, and it eannot be too highly comniended therefor, because, whatever opinions may be held as to the use of stimulants as a beverage, few reasonable people doubt that they are frequently invaluable medicinally; and all will admit that those who do drink had better drink pure than poisonous liquors.The celebrated brands of whisky \u201cCanadian Club\u201d and \u201cImperial\u201d distilled and bottled by Hiram Walker and Sons, Limited, of Walkerville, Ontario, are invariably guaranteed by the Government as above described.In fact the Messrs.Walker have never put up a bottle of whisky for sale which was not so guaranteed.> STOCK TAKING SALE !

* * * Here is another addition to our littie collection of goœmipiana.We quote from the Baltimore News: \u201cA really spicy bit of news comes from MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16.1895.= repre W.MENALLY.VICE PRESIDENT.JOHN HUGHES.Montreal, where George Hatfield D.Gossip of Three Continents is looming up again in some of his old characters and \u2018going for\" the press with all his pristine fire, It appears that the celebrated chess author requires a greater degred of quiet during his games than some of the members of the very vivacious Montreal Chess Club are disposed to accord.\u201d Then after quoting, the verses that appeared in this column some three weeks since, the News continues : \u2018Now for the fun.Mr Gossip has found that the cap fitted, and that the lines quoted were à malidous and brutal attack upon him by the chess editor oi the Herald, and he has accordingly ac- tualiy instituted proceedings against that paper for libel.He has tackled the managing editor and has \u2018\u2019ramped around\u201d hjg with wvisiors of justice and $375\u2014next year.Meantime, aithough he has sued \u201cin forma pauperis,\u2019 there will be some incidental expenses and we take the liberty of reminding everybody of it, witht all delicacy of sentiment.Needless to remark the verses are going the rounds\u2014they are fairly started by now\u2014 and that the affair has caused intense amusement, especially at the chess clubs and the Herald office.It has transpired that Mr.Gossip has traveled in Turkey and regards that country as highly civilized,, that he has written reams of letters to different parties, adducing incontrovertible evidence that his visage is not sour, nor his neck scrawny, his vocal chords wasted or hig back bent, nor hin self a Turk.Upon whom the libel, then, is being asked.\u201d x # = In the Berliner Tageblatt article by Herr E.Lasker, chery player, in which he institutes a comparison between chess and warfare.The following iree translation is from the Olagy Witnoss :\u2014\u2019Some term chess a science, others consider it an art.Either view is true or false, according to the sense in which it is taken.lt is a science, in so far as in its historical development to its present high standard it has pursued as a whole a strictly logical course.More lalpr and thought have Treen expended in overcoming the diflculties and solving the intricacies of Lhe gama than has been devoted to some sulfects fully recognized as sciences.This in itself does not, however, entitle it to be classed ag a science, but \u2018the theory of tha game built up of an orderly and systematic collection of deduction derived from actual experience on the chess-board well entitle it to ba so cone silerel, Scienca in this sensc means nothing else than the application of strictly logical methods to any subject, however trivial.In what respact then does the game claim to bd an art?In very mu:h the sama way.The essence and object of every art\u2014in its more liuited aesthetic meaning, in its correlation to appeared an the champion \u2014is absent in the mimic warfare of the chessboard.It is, in motiv:, a very conceivable search after idealisation on the part of a nuniber of devotees of th: game, which leads tlm to apply to it such unsuitable comparisons and sach hiph-flown terms, peculiar value and essential character off this captivating and stimu'asting in- tell-ctual pastime\u2014and this is the proper term to apply to it\u2014in that, on the one hand, they attribute to it moral qualities which do not helong to it, wbilsi, on the other hand, they naturally attach a false importance to wet-known depth and variety.A Leading Dry Goods House.Street, is one of the oldest and best known firms in the Dominion.tablished in 1842 by Johnston.Th! present members of the firn are James Slessor and James Johnston, only son of the founler.They deal in British, French and Gennan dry goods, and are dealers in Canadian and American manufactures.The firm's special lines for spring trade Cumurises a large range of smallwares of all kinds of fancy smkes in cotton dress goods, ducks, crinkles, etc,; special values in crepons ani printe! challics, Mack anl fancy silks anl ribhons, Lisie Toll ta and silk gloves and mies, point an! other fancy laces, tmbroideries, and spot muslins in a large variety, both white and colored.the different faculties of the human mind !

There is very little chance of getting off acin when once you touch in the furions current of this river loaded with all the fat silt of the the fields of Bengal, where surroundings change two feet between tides and new channels make or efface themselves in aseason.Men have fought the Hugli for two hundred years till, now, the river owas a huge building with drawing, survey and telegraph departments devoted to its exclusive service, as well as a body of wardens who are called the port commissioners.They and their officers govern absolute\u2019 Iv from the Hugli bridge to the last buoy at Pilot's Ridge, one hundred and forty miles away, and out in the Bay of Bengal, where the steamers first pick up the pilots from the brig.A Hugli pilot does not bring papers aboard or scramble up rope ladders.He arrives in his best clothes with a native servant or assistant to wait on him, and he behaves as a man should who can carn ten thousand dollars a year after twenty years\u2019 apprenticeship.He has beautiful rooms in the port office at Calcutta, and generally keeps himself to the society of his own profession, for though the telegraph reports the more important soundings of the river daily there is much to be learned between trip ænd trip.Some millions of tons of shipping must find their way to and from Calcutta each twelve-month, and unless the Hugli were watched as closoly as men watch the Ate lantic cables there is a fear that it might alt up a3 it has silted up round the old Dutch and Portugese ports twenty and thirty miles behind Calcutta.So the port office sounds and scours and dredges and builds spurs and devices for coaxing currents and labels all the buoys with their proper letters and attends to the semaphores and the lights and the drum, ball and cone storm signals, and the pilots of the Hugli do the rest, but in spite of ali the care the Hugli swallows a ship or two every year.When Martin Trevor had followed this life from his boyhood; when he had risen to be a senior pilot entitled to bring up to Calcutta the big ships drawing over twenty-four feet that can (or could till a fcw years ago) only pass by special ar- Tangement; when he had talked nothing but Hugli and pilotage all his life, he was exceedingly indignant that his only son should decide upon following his father\u2019s procession.Mrs.Trevor had died when the boy was a child, and as he grew older Trevor, in the intervals of his business, noticed that the lad was very often by the river side\u2014no nice place fora hoy.Once, YOUX@ JIM WOULD LIE IN THE BOW.when he asked him if he could make anything cut of the shipping, little Trevor replied by reeling off the list of all the house- flags in sight nt the moorings.\u201cYou'll come to a bad end.Jim,\u201d said Trevor.\u201cLittle boys haven't any business to know house-flags.\u201d \u201cOh, Pedro at the Sailors\u2019 home taught me.He says you can\u2019t begin too early.\u201d \u201cAt what, please?\" \u201cPiloting, I'm nearly fourteen now and \u2014and Iknow where all the shipping in the river is, and I know what there was Yesterday over the Mayapur bar, and I've been down to Diamond harbor\u2014oh, a hundrea times\u2014and I've\u2014\" Youll 80 to school, son, and learn what they 1 teach you, and you'll turn out bet.ver than a pilot,\u201d said his father, but he might Just as well have told a shovel-nosed porpoise of the river to come ashore and begin life asa hen.Jim held his tongue \u2014he noticed that all the best pilots in the port office did that\u2014and devoted his young attention and all his spare time and money to the river he loved.Trevor's son became as weil known as the Bankshall itself, and the port police po him inspect their launches, and the tug \"oat eaptains had always a place for him at table, and the mates of the big steam or dgers used to show him how the ma- Chinery worked, and there were certain native rowhoats that Jim practically one; and he extended his patronage to : = rail that runs to Diamond harbor, ay miles down the river.In the old 4Ys nearly all the East India Company's ships used to discharge at Diamond harbor : hi hecount of the shoals above, but now KL ips £0 straight up to Calcutta, and they diets only some moorings for vessels in a ÿ os there, and a telegraph service and fol pp master, who was Jim\u2019s intimate tore .He would sit in the office and listen wo on undings of the shoalsas they were en d'every day, and attend to the (Tims ents of the steamers up and down a boat Ww ays felt he had Jost something if is er Ib or out of the river without veith tanins it), and when the big liners, pin pur rows of burning port holes, tied would \u2018&mond harbor for the night Jim is pos from one ship to the other ne fy the sticky bot air and the buzz- tue Ldultoes and listen respectfully as trend Die gouferred together.Once, for a tothe os ber took him down clear out Yim won heady and the pilot brig, and pitched Joy fully Sea sick as she tossed and three © nt re bay.So he had to go down piles o our times mores with friendly 5 till he had cured bis weakness.The made by two rivers that their ou) Lugli six miles apart and throw t Cross the silt of th i l : e main \u201cTeam so that with each turn of the wath 7 ;

tut men who deal with things dare not relax for an instant.\u201cAnd that\u2019s the very reason,\u201d old McEwen said to him once, \u2018that the James and Mary is the safest parc of the river,\u201d and he put the big black Bandoorah that draws twenty-five feet through the Eastern Gat, with a turban of white foam wrapped round her foot and her screw beating as steadily as his own heart.If Jim could not get away to the river there was always the big, cool port office, where the soundings were calculated and the maps were drawn; or the pilot\u2019s room, where he could lie in a long chair and list- \u2018 en to the talk about the liuslis and there was the library, whore if vou had money you could bay charts and books of diree- tions against the time that vou actually steamed over tle places themselves, It was exceedingly hard for Jim to hold the list of Jewish kings in his head, and he was more than uncertain as to the end of the verb \u201caudio\u201d if you followed it fur enough down the page, but he could keep th soundings of three channels distinct in his head and, what is more confusing, the sanges in the buoys from Garden Reach down to Saugor, as well as the greater part of the Calcutta Telegraph, the only paper he ever rend.Unlnekily, you cannot pursue about the Hugli without money, even though you are the son of the best-known nilot on the river, aud as soon as Trevor understood how his son was spending his thue he cut down his pocket money; and Jim hada very generous allowance.In lis extremity he took coumsel with Pedro, the plun- colored mulatio atthe sailors\u2019 home.And Pedro was a bad man.Ieiatroduced Jim to a Chinaman in Machuatellah, a nusty place in itself, and the Chinaman, who answered to the name of Erh-Tze, when he was not smoking opium talked pigeon English to Jim for au honr, \u201c\u201cSpose you tuke, Can do?\u201d he said, at last.Jim considered the chances.A junk he knew would draw about eleven feet, and the regular fee far a qualifie! pilat our ERH-TZE BEAT HIM DGWX TO ONE TWENTY.ward would be two hundred rupees.On the other hand, he was not qualified, so he could not ask more than half.But, on the other hand, he was fully certain of à thrashing from Lis father for piloting without license.So lhe asked one hundred and seven ty-five rupees, and Erh-Tze beat him down to a hundred and twenty, and that was like à Chinaman allover.The cargo of hisjunk was worth anything from fifty to a hundred thousand rupees, and Erh-Tze was getting enormous frieght on the coffins of thirty or forty dead Chinamen whom he was taking to be buried in their native country.Rich Chinamen will pay fancy prices for their services, aud they have a superstition that the iron of steamships is bad for the health of their dead.Erh-Tze's junk bad crept up from Singapore, via Penang and Rangoon, to Calcutta, where Erh-Tze had been staggered by the pilot dues.This time be was going out at a reduction with Jim, who, Pedro said, was FE3t esenod as 2 pilot CHAPTER IT.Jim knew something of the outside of junks, but he was not prepared, when he went down that night with his charts, for | the confusion ot cargo and cooiies and coffins and day-cooking places and other things that littered the decks.Jim had sense enough to haul the rudder up a few feet; he knew that a jnuk\u2019s rudder goes ! far below the bottom and he allowed a foot extra to Brh-Tze\u2019s estimate of the ship's depth.Then they staggered out into midstream very early, and never had the city | of his birth looked so beautiful to Jim as when he feared he would not come back to see it.Going down Garden Reach he discovered that the junk would answer to her helm if you put it over enough and that she had a fair, though Chinese, notion of sailing.He tock charge of the tiller by s:ationing three Chinese on each side of it and standing a little forward gathered their pigtails into his hands, three right and three left, as though they had been the yoke lines df a rowboat.Erh-Tre almost smiled at this.He felt he was getting good care for his money, and took a neat polished bamboo to keep the men attentive, for he said this was no time to teach the crew pigeon English.Themors way they could get on the junk better would she steer, and as soon as he felt a little confidence in her Jim ordered the big rustling mat sails to be hauled up tighter and tighter.He did not know their names\u2014at least any name that would be likely to interest a Chinaman\u2014but Erh- Tze had not banged about the waters of the Malay archipelago for nothing.and as he went, he rolled forward with the bamboo the sails rose like eastern incantations.Early as they were on the river a big American kerosene ship was ahead of them | in tow, and when Jim saw her through the driving morning mist le was thankful.She would draw all of seventeen feet, and if he could steer by her they would be safe.It is one thing te scurry up and down the James and Mary in a police tug without responsibility, aud quite another to cram a hard-mouthed old junk across the same sands alone, with the certainty of a thrash- if you came out alive.Jim glued his eyes to the American and saw that at Fuitah she dropped her tug and stood down the river under sail.He all but whooped aloud, for he kuew that the number of pilots who preferred to work a ship through the James and Mary without a tug was strictly limited.\u201cIf it isn\u2019t father it\u2019s Dearsley,\u201d said Jim, \u201cand Dear- sley went down yesterday with the Ban- coora.1f I'd gone home last night instead of going to Pedro I'd have met father.He must have got his ship quick, but \u2014father Then Jim reflected that they kept a piece of knotted rope on the pilot brig that stung like a wasp; but this thought he dismissed as beneath the dignity of an officiating pilot who need only nod his head to set Erh- Tze\u2019s bamboo at work.As the American came round, just before the Fultuh sands, Jim raked her with his spy glass and saw his father ou the poop with an unlighted cigar between his teeth.That cigar, Jim knew, would be smoked on the other side of the James and Mary, and Jim felt so entirely sate and happy that he lit a cigar on his own account.This kind of piloting was child\u2019s play! His father could not make a mistake if be tried ; and Jim with his six faithful pig-tails in his two hauds had leisure to admire the perfect style in which the American was handled\u2014bow she would point her bowsprit jeeringly at \u201cNot to-day, thauk you, dear,\u201d and bow down lovingly over a buoy as much as to say; \u201cYou're a gentleman at any rate,\u201d ana come round sharp on her heel with a flutter aud a rustle and a slow steady swing something like a woman staring ronnd a theatre through opera glasses, It was not hard work to keep tlie jnnk near her, though Erh-Tze set everything that was .se 114 LAN.14 1 2 + | MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, SATCRDAY, FEBRUARY 1:, 1895.boo very generously.\u201cWhen they were almost under her counter and a little to the left, Jim would feel warm and happy all over, thinking of the nautical and pilotic things he knew.When they fell more than half a mile behind he was cold and miserable, thinking of all the things that Le did not know or was not sure of.And so they want down, Jim steering by his father, turn for turn, over the Maepur bar with the semaphores on each bank signaling, the depth of water, through the West- crn Gat and round the Makcaputti Lumpys and in and out of twenty places each more exciting than the last, and Jim nearly puiled the six pig-talls oui for pure joy when the Just of thie James and Mary had astern, and they were walxive through Diamond harbor.fom there to the mouth of the Hugli things are not so bad, at leas that was whan Jun thought, and held on till the swell from the Bay of Bensal made the old junk heave nnd ruort and the river browdened into an inland sea with islands only a foot or two high scattered about it.The American walked away from the junk as soou as they were beyond Kedgerec, and the night came on and the water locked very big and desolate, so Jim promptly anchored somewhere in the gray water with the Saugor light away off toward the east.He had a great vespoect for the Hugli and no desire whatever to find himself on the Gaspar sand or any otlier little shoal.Evh-Tze and the crew highly approved of this piece of seamanship, They seb no catch, He no lights and at once went to sleep.Jim lay down between a red and black lacquer cellin and a little live pig in o basket.As soon as it was light Le began studying his chart of the Hugi mouth and trying to find out where in the river he might be.He decided to be on the safe side and wait for another sailing ship aud follow her out.So he made an enorinons breakfast of rice and boiled fiz while EvieTze lit fire crackers and burned gilt paper with o- tentation.Then they heaved up their rough and tumble anchor and made after a big, fat, iron four-master sailing ship heavy as a hay wain.The junk, which was realiy a weatileriy boat and might i have begun life as a private pirate iu Annam thirty years ago, followed under easy sail; and the four-master would run i no risks.She was in old MceEwen's hands and she waddled about like a broody hen giving each shoal wide allowances.All this happened near the outer Floating Light some hundred and twenty miles from Caleutta and apparcuiiy in the open seu.Jim knew old MecEwen\u2019s appetite and had often heard him.pride himself on getting his ship to the pilot brig between meal hours, so he argued that if the pilot brig was get-able (and Jim himself had not the ghost of & notion where she would De) MeEwen would find her before one o'clock.Tt was a blazing hot day and MeKEwen fidgeted the four-master down to Pilot\u2019s Ridge with what little wind re- mnined, and sure enough there lay the pilot brig and Jim felt cold up his La-k, as Erb-Tze paid him His luudred and twenty rupees and he went overside in the junk's crazy dinghee.McEwen was leay- ing the four-master in a long slashing whale boat that looksd very spruce and pretty, and Jim could see that there was a certain amount of excitement smong the pilots on the brig.There was his father too, The ragged Chinese gave way ina ragged fashion and Jim felt very un- washen and disreputable when he heard the click of McEwen\u2019s oars alongside, and McEwen saying: \u2018James Trevor, I'll trouble you to come along with me.\u201d Jim obeyed, and from vhe corner of one eye watched Mckwen\u2019s angry whiskers stand up all round his face like the trill of a royal Bengal tiger, while his face turned purple and his voice shook.© An\u2019 is this how you break the regula- , tions o' the port o' Calcutta?Are ve l aware 0\u2019 the penalties ye've laid yourself open to?\u201d | Jim said nothing.There was not very much to say, and McEwen roared aloud: | \u201cMan, ve\u2018ve personated à Hugli pilot, an\u2019 | that's as much to say ye've personat:d me!
