Bars for Mr.La- forest's Ste.Agathe Aqueduct, $11,000 MORE OF ACCOUNTS TURN UP.These Had Been \u201cHeld Back at the Request of Mr, Laforest\u201d\u2014A Luminous Glimpse of the Way the City Treasury Has Been Exploited.A number of unpaid accounts were sprung on the Water Committee yesterday afternoon, and were the means of drawing out some interesting facts which go to prove the allegations which The Herald has made concerning the conduct of Mr.Laforest and of the Water Department.These accounts aggregate $11,- 000, and were being held over until after the Claims Committee had finished its labors and dissolved.Then Mr.Lafores; would make an explanation to the com mittee and have them order the accounts to be paid.But Mr.Laforest is not likely to be able to meet the committee fo- some time, and the Claims Committee sent an imperative letter to the committee asking for a return of all claims not yec filed within five dawvs, and so the accounts were laid before the committee yes terday.Among them is an account from the Sicily Asphaltum Paving Company, in which Ald.Marsolais\u2019 name appears as having ordered work, and another account from Frothingham & Workman proves that materials were sent to Ste.Agathe\u2014where Mr.Laforest was putting in a water service\u2014and charged to the city of Montreal, being distributed in the .Water Department as for \u201cthawing hydrants, { Ald.Clearihue is suspicious of Water Committee accounts, and when Mr.Frank Dowd, the secretary, laid the bundle of papers before the acting chairman\u2014Ald.Jacques\u2014he asked what they meant.Mr.Dowd explained that they had been kept over at Mr.Laforest\u2019s request, but as the Claims Committee were writing for them he wanted an order from the committee to send them on.There were accounts from the Sicily Asphaltum Paving : \u2018of Montreal, Company for $4,402.94 in all, from the La- chine Rapids Hydraulic and Land Company for lighting, and other firms.Ald.Clearihue\u2014Without the committee's authority ?Mr.Dowd pointed out that all the accounts were certified and distributed by Mr.Laforest and Mr.Lagace.Ald.Clearihue turned out the papers, and as he did so he found one dated September last for paving 230 yards on St.Denis sireet, which area Mr.Legace admitted was correct, but he added: \u201cI cannot admit liability for more than twenty-eight feet; the rest was ordered by Ald.Marsolais.\u201d Ald.Jacques explained that the company had repaired the ;whole of the area torn up, including the excavations made by the Gas Company and the Road Department, Ald.Clearihue\u2014As a member of this committee, when I see certain accounts signed and allocated, I am suspicious, from things I have heard.For instance\u2014-\u2014 Ald.Jacques\u2014sSpeak in French.Ald.Clearihue\u2014-I cannot give it as well in French.I find in July, 1897, an account from Frothingham & Workman, and part of the same is for goods sent by C.P.R.to Ste.Agathe, and it was certified and charged to \u201cthawing hydrants.\u201d The goods were steel bars.What in the name of goodness have steel bars going to Ste.Agathe to do with the thawing of hydrants in Montreal?It is quite plain and it 13 Mr.Fallon, I think, who signs ite1a red, \u201cthawing hydrants.\u201d Ald.Jacques was sure there must be an explanation, but he did not know himself how it could be explained.Aid, Clearihue\u2014But, anyway, steel bars were sent to Ste.Agathe @nd charged to the city.Then I find in May, August and November, 1897, accounts fur $4,000 odd from L.Cohen & Son for cant iron pipes.It looks a little strange to see coal mer- charts selling cast iron pipes to the city Ald.Jacques explained that Cohen & Sons had these on hand, having taken them in payment of a debt due by the Canada STE.AGATHE BUT 0 MONTREAL.Mr.D.Murphy, that certain articles of barness which they identified in the corporation stables had been purchased by Mr.Fallon personally.Ald.Clearihue\u2014\u201cI suppose you know a statement was put before us showing exactly where these five harness hangers came from ?Not only was it put in the statement that he had five, but he acknowledged after that he only had four.It seems to me there is some person backing them up in all this.\u201d \u201cDo you mean me ?\u201d demanded Ald.Jacques with some heat, \u201cl am not saying you personally are doing so,\u201d Ald.Clearihue replied, \u201cbut some person is backing them up, because they are trying to baffle us in every way.They are like a toad in tar; the more they jump the deeper they go in.\u201d Ald.Jacques\u2014\u201cIf you mean my action at last meeting was backing them up, you are mistaken.\u201d \u2019 Ald.Clearihue\u2014*\u201cI ask you a simple question as a member of this committee.Would you not conatrue that the goods mentioned in that inventory we have belonged to :the city ?\u201d Ald.Jacques\u2014\u201cCertainly.\u201d Ald.Clearihue\u2014\u201cSo would any other sane man.\u201d It was decided to ask the city attorneys for their opinion om the whole question, and as for the unpaid accounts the Claims Committee will have a chance to discuss them.Some Other Contracts.The Water Committee disposed of some small matters of business at the meeting vesterday afternoon in addition to those mentioned above.The purchase of a boiler for the high level pumping station was discussed, and orders given to Acting Superintendent Janin and Boiler Inspector Champagne to prepare specifications for a new one of 200 horse-power.Meanwhile a portable boiler is to be rented, and Îrese with Ald.Jacques, Clearihue and Prenoveau, were gentlemen, appointed to make arrangements, A statement of the amount of coal supplied by Cohen & Boao from day to day on the chairman\u2019s order, authorized by the committee, from Jan.1 to Jan.21, showed that it cost $4,288, sumption of cnal at the high level station is about 25 tons a day.The con- Some Coal Contracts.Tenders were opened for the supply of 3.000 tons soft steam coal, 1,150 tons Welsh coal and 52 tons stove coal: There were Jos.Lefebvre & Co., stove, $5.75;

the bank, and all the employes were Immediately arrested.The search was, however, fruitless.The notes were taken from the cashier\u2019s drawer while he was at luncheon.The fact that the interior of

Attend the Banquet to Be Given Hon.Mr, Fisher.Quebec, Jan.25.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Dr.Cotton, member for Missisquoi, has prepared a bill, which he will present in the Legislative Assembly to-day, providing for the taxation of mortgages.A farm may be mortgaged to three-fourths its value, vet the proprietor, really owner of one unencumbered fourth, is obliged to pay taxes on the whole.Dr.Cottton holds that this is unjust.The holder of the mortgage is for the time being, he contends, practically proprietor to the ex: tent of his investment, and should bear à proportionate share of the public bur- ens.The Hon.Messrs.Duffy and McCorkill, Dr.Cotton and the other Liberal Eastern Townships representatives, leave to-day to assist at the banquet to the Hon.Sydney Fisher to-morrow.There is every pros- pcct of an enthusiastic gathering.It is pointed out that it is the first time since Confederation that the Liberal party has had the six seats in the district of Bed- ford, which comprises the counties of Mis- sisquoi, Brome and, Shefford.en TRIED HARD TO SUICIDE.Elder Westover Cut His Throat With a Jack-Knife.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Death of a Well-Known Cattle

trouble between the city and Montreal Water & Power Company regarding the supply of water to Maisonneuve will be brought to a head at once by legal proceedings.The Finance and Water Com- 1aïttees met yesterday and after discussing the situation decided to take the whole question to the courts immediately.For some years past the city has been supplying the company with water for Mauson- neuve at 45 cents per thousand gallons.\\Whan a new agreement was made between the company and the city in May last by which the city agreed to supply the water for St.Louis du Mile End and St.Denis ward at the rate of twenty cents -per thousand gallons, the company wanted the supply for Maisonneuve at the same price.was expected that Maisonneuve\u2019s supply would continue to go through a valve on Notre Dame street, on a low level main.The supply for St.Denis and St.Louis is drawn from the high level pipes.Recent- lv the company completed their mains from their own reservoir on Cote des Neiges road, through Outremont and across Mount Royal avenue, Rachel and other streets to the point on Notre Dame street whero their Maisonneuve pipes connected with the city\u2019s low level pipes.During the first week of the present month an accident occurred to the company\u2019s pumping plant at Ste.Cunegonde.Almost immediately the valve between the city\u2019s low level pipes and Maisonneuve: was_closed off and the company started to draw 1ts-Maisonneuve supply from the city\u2019s high level pipes, by way of Mount Royal avenue, Rachel and other streets.What the Company Gains.There was a double advantage to the company in this.In the first place it increased the pressure in Maisonneuve, and in the second place reduced the price of the water to the company.The company is under agreement to pay the city forty- five cents per bhiousand gallons for the Maisonneuve water.So long as it went through the meter at Notre Dame street there could be no doubt as to the quantity, But when that valve was closed by the company and the supply was drawn from the source the water passed through the weber at St.Denis ward and the city under agreement could not charge more than twenty cents per thousand gallons.In addition to the loss of twenty-five cents per thousand gallons to the city, the increased demand upon their high-level pumping plant is so great an addition to their boiler capacity is absolutely neccessary.« » 060060000000 009000602000 © The Council refused to grant this, and it % The question that the Finance © © and Water Committees will ask the © © courts to

meantime steps will be taken at once to increase the boiler capacivy au the high-level pumping station.A porcäble boiler will be placed in position at once to do service while tenders ars being called for.The Discussion.The members of the Water Committee, with Engineer Janin, met with the Fi nance Committee, and after considerable discussion, came to the above conclusion regarding the boiler.The relation of the city to the Montreal Water and Power Company regarding the Maisonneuve supply was the chief topic.Mr.Janin laid before the committee a map showing how the company had connected Maisonneuve with the city\u2019s high-level service.Mr.Champagne, boiler inspector, explained that it was the increased demand upon the pumping capacity at the high-level station that rendered an additional boiler necessary at once.Ald.Sadler\u2014\u201cThen part of our risk is to supply an outside company altogether beside the risk of paying to pump the water from the lower to the high-level for their benefit.By whose authority was that done?The first intimation the committee had of it was when their treasurer asked payment from the Water and Power Company, and threatened that unless the account were paid the water supply would be cut off.And this was in face of the fact that the Council were running great risks in over-working the boilers.Ald.Jacques\u2014Can we shut off the sup-« ply to Maisonneuve?Ald.Sadler\u2014\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d Ald.Jacques replied that he did not think that the city could cut off the Mai- gonneuve supply.He explained, with the aid of Mr.Janin\u2019s map, that in order to do this they would be compelled to cut off the St.Denis wasd supply.Ald.Sadler suggested turning on the low-level valve at Notre Dame street, but it was pointed out to him that the pressure of the company\u2019s feed pipes was greater than that of the Notre Dame street main, so the opening of the valve would have no effect.Mr.Robb said that as the valve at Notre Dame street had been turned off, he could not ascertain how much water was being taken for Maisonneuve.Ald.Beausoleil\u2014 \u201cWe should take legal proceedings to have this matter settled at once.I don\u2019t think the company has any power to turn off that valve without the city\u2019s consent.\u2019 Ald.Jacques said that the Water Committee would consult with the City Attor- s at once and hive action taken.ney The Company $10,000 Behind Now.Mr.Robb, the city treasurer, reported that the Water and Power Company were already indebted to the Montreal City Corporation in the sum of $10,000 for water supplied to Maisonneuve; he had written requesting payment, but no reply had been received.Mr.Robb was instructed to demand payment in eight days, or in default, institute an action in the courts.In reference to the non-payment of the water rates by the Hospice Auclair and i the Hospice Gamelin, it was resolved to ; grant a respite until Friday next, and, | in the event of the sums due not being \u2014 re ccm etl eee paid by that date, that Mr.Robb should intimate that the water supply at cach hospice will be cut off.LICENSE COMMISSIONERS BUSY.+ ; .4 5 :W 50- y ; -eached t

employed by Mr, Laxton, oi Richmond street, are out on sirike to resist a reduction of wages.Mr, Paxton tried to impose a tariff of prices on his men which would have reduced their wages by twenty cents a day less than the coopers in other shops receive, and the men promptly quit work.At a special meeting President Verdun, after hearing the men\u2019s story, dedtared a strike.As there are good tines jn the coopers\u2019 trade just now the men expoct to get work elsewhere, but if necessary they will be put on the strike pay dist until Mr.Pax.ton agrees to the union\u2019s terms.- Boot and

first time in five years we are now able to look at the balance on hand without receiving a cold chill.Unions that for the past three years were in constant receipt of assistance with which to pav benefits, now have a comfortable balance on hand.More members are at work now than at any time since the commencement of the depression.lt can » be said that the year just closed has been a fairly presperous one for the Interna.tiondl Union when compared with the preceding year since 1593.We believe tha confidence of the members in the stability and power of the International Union to fulfil all its obligations is now fully restored.dhe Union Labor Best Labor, - Leather Cutters.The Leather Cutters met in St.Joseph's Hall Monday night, President Royal in the chair.Mr.Pouguette was elected assigt- ant secretary.There was a very large attendance and business of importance was transacted.Not very long ago a Federal judge asked the general manager of one of the best operated railways in the country, while on the wiiness stand, \u201cWhat effect have these labor organizations had upon your men and the service given to the public by the company?\u201d His answer was: \u2018Both men and the service have been improved by them.\u201d At the regular meeting of te Tlomin- ion Assembly, 2436.Knights of Labor, held in the K.of I.Mall, Friday night, the following officers were elected for

Levy presiding.Mr.Workman's men came up and joined the union, Mr.Workman himself paying their initiation fees.Probably no employer in Montreal \u2018has ever showed his good-will to a labor union or his desire to better the condition of his work people in such a substantial manncr.Mr.Workman's unprecedented generosity has highly pleased the Garment Workers.A strenuous attempt will be made to induce other clothing manufacturers to unionize their shops, and do away with the giving-out-work system, which is the key to the sweating cvil in Montreal.Mr.Elias Ellison, of the Socialist Tabor party of Montreal, appeared before the meeting and delivered a lecture on social ism.Ile advised the union men to form a workingmen\u2019s library and make an effort to elect representatives to, parliament.After the lecture a spirited discussion took place.AT THE COURTS.By Mr.Justice Doherty.Hawkes vs.the Kingston & Montreal Forwarding Co.\u2014Tha plaintiff claimed 8500 damages,- which he atleged he suffcred by reason of injuries sustained by him on the 12th of August last.He said that on that date, while engaged in unloading a barge belonging to defendants he fell down a hatchway, the covering of which had been displaced through their fault.The court was of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to.damages under the circumstances, and judgment was rendered in his favor for $140.- By Mr.Justice Mathicu.Monctte vs.Mallette.\u2014The defendant issued @ writ of capias against the plaintiff on the 30th of December last.The defendant, in his affidavit, charged the plan- tiff with secreting and being about to sccrete his effects with intent to defraud his creditors.The bailiff charged with the writ of capias went to arrest the plaintiff, but found him in bed, ill, and did not make any arrest, but told him, us soon as he was well enough to go to the sherift\u2019s office.On the 7th January the plaintiff went to the sheriff's oftice and gave bail.On the 17th January the capias was quashed at the demand ot the plaintiff, because the declaration had not been served on the defendant in the case at the same time as the writ, and because no copy was left for him.Now the plaintiff sued the defendant, claiming $120 damages for illegal issue of capias.The defendant pleaded that he had rea scnable and probable cause and this plea was maintained by the court, and the plaintiff's action was dismissed.Dubois vs.Feber.\u2014Judgment ex parte dissolving the partnership, and maintaining the conservatory seizure for $400.By Mr.Justice Davidson.Benot vs.Pageau et al

adopted by the Legislature of British Columbja: 1.Every person who is not less than eighteon ycars of age and is a British sub- \u2018Jeet shall be entitled to all the rights and privileges of a free miner under this act, and shall be considered à free miner under this act upon taking out a free miner\u2019s certificate, as long as such certificate refanins in force.2.No joint stock company or corporation shall be entitled to take out a free miner's certificate unless the same has been incorporated, and not simply licensed or registered, under the laws of this prov- Ince, and unless such company or corporation is authorized to take out a miner's license bv the Lieutenant-Governor-in- Council.The word \u2018\u201c\u2018person\u2019 in this section shall include only such companies or corvorations as aforesaid.3.A miner's license taken out by any person not authorized so to do by* this section shall be null and void.4.This ecetion shall not affect \u2018ree miner\u2019s licenses issued before the coming into force of this section, and in casa any person or corporation not allowed under this section to take out à miner\u2019s license has, prior to the coming into force of this scction, acquired any intèrest in any claim under the provisions of the \u201cPlacer Mining Act,\u201d such license-may be renewed from time to time, but such renewed license PERMANENT CURE SCALY, SKIN DISEASE.Mr.Goo.Tribe, of Straffordville, Ont., cured by B.B.B.5 years ago of an Itching, Scaly, Skin Disease.HE HAS NEVER BEEN TROUBLED SINCE.\u2019 $6 from a common pimple to the worst scrofulous sore,\u201d has been a common way of expressing the range of skin diseases that Burdock Blood Bitters will cure.All those facial eruptions and blotches which disfigure the features are promptly removed by its use, as well asthe more severe formge which wreck the health and undermine the system.But B.B.B.works in its own peculiar way.There is nothing of the temporary or transient about the cures B.B.B.makes.It always builds up the health and strength on the foundation of Pure, Rick: Blood, and in consequence the cures it makes are of & permanent and lasting nature.| We again prove the gf permanency of the cures @ it makes by the case of Mr.George Tribe, Straf- fordville, Ont.,who wrote the following letter respecting his case.It is Dated February 5th, 1894.\u201c1 have used Burdock Blood Bitters for a severc form of skin disease from which I have been a sufferer for three ears.\u201cI have taken in all six bottles and am now entirely cured.*[ tried various remedies, but none of them did me any good.\u201cI doctored one year with the best physicians in the land ; they pronounced my disease a Scaly Eruption, but could not remove it.\u201cIt cameon in red blotches and spread over my body, The skin became dry MN.GEORGE E.TRIBE.and formed hard, white scales, The itching was intolerable, but I am now completely cured, and I owe it all to B.B.B.1 advise all sufferers to use it, as its equal cannot be found.\u201d GEORGE TRIBE, Here's what Mr.Tribe Says: July (6th, 1898.\u201cI have had no.return of that terrible skin.disease with which I Mas afflicted some four or five years ago.The cure made by Burdock Blood Bitters then has been permanent, and if you want it I could give you as good a testimonial as ever was published, as my cure was a remarkable one.\u201d GEORGE E.TRIBE.After reading such testimony as the above, who can doubt the efficacy of B.B.B.in all forms of skin disease.There is no other remedy that can show cures of such obstinate and chronic diseases.No other medicine can offer so conclusive proofs of these cures being permanent.Any one troubled with any itching, burning, irritating skin dis\u20acase can place full reliance on B.B.B.to effect a cure, no matter what other remedies have failed, B.B.B.is purely vegetable, contains no harsh or injurious drugs and can be taken by the most delicate.If you would like to hear from Mr.Tribe personally, write him, enclosing stamp for reply, and we have no doubt he would be only too pleased to answer you, giving full details of his case.= we Rs + 4 \" é Ÿ L Qi id r ¥ & rg 2 ; ) =

Columbia Legislature says that the Government is in better shape than dcspatches sent out would indicate.He says there is no prospect of another gencral election shortly, and the administration expects to carry the approaching bye-elections.DRAMA.-\u2014 The \u201cThree Dragoons\u201d was presented to MUSIC AND a crowded house last night, and the pro- -\u2014 duction showed mnmny marked changes over that if the night before.Everything run perfectly smooth, and the audience was thoroughly pleased.Thursday matinees do not as a rule fall to the lot of our best theatre-goers.To an organization of the preeminence of the \u2018roadway Theatre Opera Company midweek performance are cqually unusual, Yet the week's arrangements at Her Majesty\u2019s Theatre actually eompel a presenta tion of \u201cThe Three Dragoons\u201d \u2018to-morrow afternoon.An additional opportunity is thus afforded to the many who either can- uot or do not care to attend the theatre in the evening.That it will be taken advantage of to the utmost is attested by she large advance demand for seats.1t has been amply demonstrated that the new Smith-De Koven work contains the vost antistic as well as the most enter taining qualities of comic opera, While striving for consistency in book and in t usic, Mr.Smith and Mr.de Koven par ticularly disclaim professions of pedantry.Their mission is to be entertaining.The current work is a splendid example of the fulfilment of their theory.Mr.de Koven has never composed a mote tuneful and sprightly score, and Mr.Smith's libretto scintillates with easily appreciable wit and 1 characteristic humor which requires neither chart nor compass.The merits of the company have already been descanted upon with particularity.if added praise be due any individual it falls most meritoriously to Mr.Richard Ir.Carroll, whose genially humorous impersonation of the free and easy Irish servant, Larry, does full justice to the author\u2019s creation.À typical Celt+as pictured by poet and novelist\u2014does Mr.Carroll por tray, droll, witty, and with a personal humer quite irrestible.And like all stage Irishmen, Mr.Carroll is nimble of foot; a heel and toe virtuoso who exemplifies dancing in all its moods.Mr.Carroll's brother Edwin, who plays the funny Scotchman, has also made a hit.Miss Abbott's Concert.The second of the recitals in the Art Gallery given by Miss Abbott and Mr.du Domaine was held last evening before a fashionable and appreciative audience, The work of the two principals appealed to every musical taste, and those present were seemingly delighted with all they heard.The opening number, a piano and violin duct by Miss Abbott ard Mr.dy Domaine, was splendidly rendered, and the same\u2019 can be said of every number on the programme.Mrs, Seabury Ford was the soloist of the evening, and she sang with a sweet soprano voice that appealed to the listeners.Altogether the recital was a distinct success.and music lovers will look forward with pleasure to the next recital given by these excellent artists.The Kneisel Quartette.The sale of seats for the Kneisel String Quartette of Boston\u2019s grand recital wil open Monday, January 30th, at the box office, Queen\u2019s Theatre, where this cele brated quartette are announced to appear under the auspices of \u2018the Ladies\u2019 Morning Musical Ciub.Sauer\u2019s Appearance.This is what the New York Press says of Sauer: \u201cSauer is the apotheosis of tem- berament, tenderness and tempo.He is a marvel of technics.He not only understands all the possibilities of the keys, but has complete mastery over the pedals, He is plentiful in color, warm and generous and subtly shaded.His touch is clastic, his feeling is delicate, his delivery is clear and cloquent.Emil Sauer holds first rank \u2018among the virtuosi of à.noble instrument, and it is happily to be noted that last night his merits were instantly recognized and cordially approved, by a city which in musical taste is surpassed by no other.\u201d The sale of seats for Monday night has been large.\u201cYankee Doodle Dandy.\u201d There i3 a charming little love story running through \u201cYankee Doodle Dandy.\u201d The great Casino extravaganza that will be seen, at the Academy of Music next week.The characters of this latest and merriest of \u2018George W.Lederer\u2019s pieces

them the Battery, Printing House square, and a Sixth avenue elevated railroad station.The lst fcenc is shown in Pennsylvania avenue, Washington.with the capitol in the distance.Scenically,

which they were provided were not required.The centre cars of the trains were the food distributing centres, and very clean and nice they looked.[ach of the provision cars contained, on leaving Su.John, 1.0 pounds of cheese, 12 pounas of tea, 1 barrel of sugar, 50 bars of soap, 1% gallons of milk, 500 loaves of bread, and ten pounds of salt.At Ottawa three days provisions will be taken for

Jan.25.\u2014(Special.)\u2014All Doukhobors passed through here this morning.\u2018There were six trains.The first arrived at 3-45 a.m., and the last this forenoon.The trains stopped here about \u2018half an hour.just long enough to take on provisions.When the first train reached here there were a number oË people present to get a look at the strangers.They waited all night to get a chance to do so.Besides representatives of the press there were present parties who represented the Young Women\u2019s Christian Association with fruit and candy to distribute among the little \u201cDouks.\u201d Deputy Minister Smart and Mr.W.J.White, of the Imunigration Department, arrived with the first train, and Superintendent Pedley was waiting for them here, having made arrangements for sending provisions, etc., on board.In the forenoon, Miss Mary McKay Scott, president of the Y.W.C.A., and Mrs, Donaldson were at the depot, and while distributing fruit among the strang- eri, the littla ones got down on their knees, and sang hymns.the PATTI HAS A THIRD HUBBY.She Was Married to Baron Cederstrom To-day\u2014DBride Is Aged 55, the Groom 20.ae London, Jan.25\u2014Adelina Patti, the singer, was marricd this morning at Bre- con, Wales, to Baron Cederstrom, director l'* of the Health (ymnastie Institute here.Madame Patti took a train from Craig y prettily decorated for the occasion.\"I'he Band of the South Wales Borderers met in 1868 to the Marquis de Caux, and was married to Niccolini in 1836.She is a daughter of Salvatori Patti, studied under Ettore Barili, made her

bearers, escorted the wedding party in five landaus, to the Ro- which had been sneciallv decarated.Sir George Faudel Philips, former Lord Mayor of London, gave Patti away.The service was very short.Baron and Baroness Cederstrom emerged from the church at eleven o'clock, entered a carriage, the procession was reformed, and the bride and bridegroom proceeded to the railroad station and started for London.They received an ovation.The wedding breakfast was served cn board the train, which was composed of the special corridor cars built for the Prince of Wales._ Adelina Patti, the widow of Niccolini, the singer, who died at Cannes, France, | on January 18th, 1898, was born in Madrid on Feb.19th, 1843.She was first marricd - was a lieutenant in the Swedish Light Guards.Baron Cederstrom was until recently an instructor in a health gymnasium, and was director of his own health gymnastic inst.tute in London.Madame Patti was married in a travelling dress of dove colored satin, embroidered with steel, with a bodice of pale gray, and a bonnet trimmed with mauve orchids.Her travelling cap, which matched her dress, was ornamented with a design of true lovers\u2019 knots.The procession to the church and returning to the station passed under several arches bearing inscriptions in honor of the bride.The streets were thronged with people, and the church _was crowded with invited guests.The wedding party will reach London late this afternoon.The bride and bridegroom will start to-morrow for the South of France, where they will spend the honeymoon.CRAIG STREET MEN WANT $1,200.Of all the cfaims made upon the city that received by the Finance Committee yesterday is probably one of the most remarkable.In November, 1897, one hundred ratepayers of Craig street, through Mr.J.Barnabe, nctary, protested to the city regarding the bad state of the pavement on that street, asking that the street be repaired and that the costs of tha protest be paid.Since that time a part of the street has been paved, the petitioners base a claim for the costs of the protest.These they ask the city to pay, modestly assuring them that it would be only justice, and that a prompt settlement would save the city from further law costs.The petitioners dont want much, only §12 each.As there are only 100 of them the total costs amount to a trifling $1,200.The request is signed by Advocate J.1I Migneron.He makes the appeal on be- holf of.Messrs.Theodire Larue, Lazore Desrocher, and 98 others.The reading of the letter afforded the Finance Committee considerable amusa-

e THE HERAT.D, MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1899.JOHNSON TRANS WITH THE ROPE Skips Several Thousand Every Day in Addition to His Work on the Ice.elf WILL SKIP AT SMOKER, Eastern Townships Checker Enthusiasts Are Having a Tournament for a Trophy.meres NEW YORK CYCLE SHOW.ees John S.Johnson gets in his training whether the ice is fit to skate on or not.Yesterday the ice was too soft and heavy, so Johnson got out his skipping rope and was soon hard at work.He finds this method of training of very great value.Yesterday morning he skipped over 4.000 times without missing.Johnson does no fancy skipping.H eskips on the toes, the ordinary forward skip, first one foot and then the other.He takes a turn with e rope every day.In order to reduce his weight he took his rope with him to the Turkish Baths, and skipped 2,500 in the hot room, bringing down his weight a little over five pounds.Jchnson will give an exhibition of skipping at the M.B.C.smoker on Friday in a challenge match with Laz.Rubenstein.Laz.refuses to reveal his record, but in- siruates that he will surprise people on Friday night.\u201cOf course,\u201d he adds, \u201cI weculd not on any account beat my good friend, Johnnie Johnson.\u201d This exhibition is a novelty in M ontreal, and will give local athletes an insight into vne method of training which is invaluable for skaters, runners and bicyclists, MAISONNEUVE CARNIVAL.The Maisonneuve skating rink has postponed its masquerade until Thursday evening on account of the weather and the condition of the ice.THE CRYSTAL CARNIVAL.In the twenty odd years that the Crystal rink has been in existence never was there such an rmmense crowd of spectators and skaters inside the building at a masquer- ede as there was last evening.The ice was crowded with merry masqueraders in al sorts of costumes, some of which wera most beautiful, and around the side of the rink there was hardly standing room Tor the large number of spectators.The Skid- more Club, about fifty strong, were in attendance.They marched from their hal! on St.Lawrence street, headed by the rink band, and proceeded by way of St.Law- vence, St.Catherine, Windsor and Dorches- ter streets, to the rink.The cake walk on skates by the members of the clu torks, one firm shows a bicycle with front and rear forks and rear stays of hexagon shape, with the outer sides nickelled and the other sides enamelled in black.No advantages are clanned other than the nov elty.After all the talk of thirty inch wheels it was expected that many bicycles with wheels of that diameter would be seen at the show.A solitary machine of thas style is shown in the gallery and it looks put of place among others of the familiar ype.Another novelty that was disclosed yesterday is a lever attachment for chain driven wheels.When in use it gives a t bicycle the appearance of having nickel plated elbows that to the casual observer seem to be nothing more than useless appendages.The maker claims that by the use of the attachment the rider gains an increase in leverage without increasing tha diameter of the stroke of the pedal.Though the exhibits of saddles are not many they are interesting.One firm shows a cork top saddle that, besides being lighter than an entirely wooden one, has a \u201clivelier\u201d surface.The same firm makes a specia.ty of curled hair saddles.Other saddles of interest are of rawhide and deerskin.In saddle coverings plaided leather seems to be a fad with some makers, though the old colors still predominate.In racing saddles the tendency is to narrow necks and longer \u201cnoses.\u201d \u2014_\u2014\u2014 \u201cYANKEE WHEELS.\u201d The Irish Wheelman Criticizes the United States Manufacturers for Going to Extremes in Construction.The tendency of American manufacturers towards extremes is given a gentie dig by a writer m the Irish Wheeiman, He says: _ Perhaps I may be allowed to take Unis opportunity of calling attention, to the equally ridiculous reaction in the size of gear wheels.Im 1893 the Centaur Cycle vompany exhibited a machine at the National show fitted with ten and twenty- four driving sprokets, which, at that pe- ricd, were simply laughed at.\u2018Lien ne maker could get them small enough to sallsry riders; the prevaiing size at thuf period being one of seven teeth for the hwo; sone makers going to the extent of fitting sprocket wheels with six teeth; wikle now nine, ten and even eleven, which demand correspondingly large crank sprockets, are asked for.As the result of some very careful experiments we have made we found that while the difference in draught and eth- ciency was very marked between sprocket wheels of seven nd eignt teeth, it be: came less pronounced between eight and nine, and still less between nine and ten, the difference in the latter being so small as not to compensate for the increased bulk and weight of the larger chain wheels, and longer chain consequent upon same, not to mention the increased weight ou a larger gear case.Flying to these ridiculous extremes reminds one of the Yankee makers, who, early in the nineties, were making the frames from tubing of ridiculously small diameters, ranging from half-inch back stays to three-quarter-inch and seven-eight- inch frame tubes, and who, upon hearing that larger tubing was becoming fashionable in England, virtually said: \u201cWe guess was very well executed, and the ladies\u2019 burlesque hockey match kept the large audience in roars of laughier.After the masquerade the members of the Skidmors Club were entertained to a supper by the genial manager of the Crystal, Mr.George Robertson.[OE PS \u2014 AMONG THE SKATERS.\u2014\u2014ereretee Johnnie Neilson Will Arrive in Town on Monday to Put on the Finishing Touches in His Training.There are about a dozen out of town tkaters hard at work at the M.A.A.À.track.This number will be on Monday by two or three others, among whom will be the famous Johnnie Neil- son.Yesterday and to-day he took part in the New Brunswick races, and #r ites to Louis Rubenstein that he will be here on Monday.He reports that he is in good form, so the.contest between Lim aid Johnson should be a memorable one.Given a good track \u2018and good weather, sme records should go to pieces on the 4th of next month.Thomsen is doing some good work, and may spling a surprise on Johnson and Neilson.It is quite within the range of possibility that am intermediate class may be arranged for to include See, Spooner and others.This would be a splendid scheme, ard would increase the interest in the amateur events.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 rare NEW YORK CYCLE SHOW.me Great Fight Between Makers in Gear of Chainless Wheels, Some Using Bevel and Some Roller Gear.New York, Jan.2{\u2014That the big cycle show in Madison Square (Garden \u2018has \u201ccaught on\u201d with the public was evidenced | by the steady inflow of visitors yesterday afternoon and last might.On the opening right the attendance had been made up largely of members of metropolitan cycling cluos, who came as guests of the management, and of enthusiastic wheeimen, wno were heading for the Garden before tha doors of the amphitheatre were opened.Several new bicycles were brought into the building in the morning.Among these were chain driven wheels whose prices run as high as $75 and $10C, \"Lhe standard price for wheels with chains seems to have been established at $50, and those listed at higher prices may be described as bes ing of special grades.One feature of the show has developed in a battle of rival driving gears.A statement \u2018had been made that more exhibitors were showing machines fitted with beve.gears than the exhibitors of ail other chain- less gears combined.Exception.was taken to this by one exhibitor, and an actual count of gear exhibits resulted in finding that ten exhibitors were showing the roller gear with its modifications, while six were showing the bevel gear.Smallest Bicycle Built.What has been termed by a lady admirer the \u201ccutest thing in the show\u201d forms part of an exhibit in the promenade gallery.lt is a bicycle built to order for a child of 3 years, and is claimed to be the &mallest perfect bicycle ever constructed for actual use.lts weight is ten pounds, the wheels are ten inches in diameter and the gear is forty-two inches.The frame is enawel- led in green and the wheels are fitted witn wooden rims aid single tube tires.One of the actual novelties in construe- tion that attracted much attention yesterday is a nickel plated bicycie titted with epherical hubs and crank hangers.\u2018l'he hub sphere is about six inches in diameter and its nickelled surface catches and reflects the light.The hub has no flanges and the spokes are inserted in holes in the sphere.lt is claimed that this hub 1s hghter in weight and stronger than any hub previousiy used, and that its peculiar construction prevents an accumulation of irt.To racing men one of the most attractive exhibits is a triplet with an overhanging £eat.It is the first machine of the kind constructed, and will be valuable for indoor paced races.The wheel base is the sama as on tandems and the machine is tandem size throughout, the third seat being built out over the rear wheel.Hexagon Shaped Forks.As a variation from round and D-shaped DR.CODERRE\u2019S RED PILLS PALE=WEAK WOMEN BOX CF.5Q PILLS BQ CENTS increased | .will be reduced to about four tables.we can show the DBritisher points in this direction,\u201d and went at a bound to the other extreme\u2014i.e., from tubes of the diameter of pipe stems to tree butts.Again, hearing that barrel hubs and brackevs\u2014 now more generally called disc-adjusting hubs and brackets\u2014avere.coming into fashion on this side, they again said, \u201cWe guess we can get out a hub and bottom bracket.with a darned sight bigger barrel than anyone has seen yet,\u201d and they did; but here the funny part comes in.The mammoth productions were still fitted with old open cone arrangements.It has now just begun to dawn upon them that the increase in the dimmater of the bar rel was necessitated by the increased space required to admit a spindle with permanently fitted cones.At the recent shows some of the new parts makers showed equal monstivsities in in the form of exaggerated gear wheels, some of which were nearly the size of the driving wheels.From an extensive period of observation of the vagaries of cycle riders pnd cycle makers, I have arrived at the conclusion that it is only necessary to set an idea rolling in any direction to obtain the satis- ; faction of seeing it augmented and exaggerated out of all knowledge.There are aways riders who will insist upon going further in any direction than anyone else for the mere satisfaction of the distinction and novelty.And makers of a certain class, not having a sumplus of legitimate originality, are always to be found to seize upon the latest fad as a means of lifting their wares out of the monotonous ruck of mediocrity.But it will always be found that only innovations giving a tangible increase in efficency can stand the test of time and experience.CHECKER TOURNAMENT.The Enthuslasts of the Eastern Townships Are Having a Series of Games for the Championship, Sherbrooke, Jan.25.\u2014(Special.)-Lhe checker tournament, which has been looked forward to for some time by the lovers of that game, had a successful opening in the Art Hall here yesterday morning.It was an experimental undertaking, and alothough the organization was assured by the most enthusiastic players of à brilliant issue, still there were some doubts as to its success.Most every village surrounding and places like Cowansville, Granby, Windsor Mills and Richmond, have their champion competing for the trophy.Altogether there is considerable interest taken in the matches for the nro- fessed champions of the game arc as a rule conceited of their skill, and even after they have suffered a succession of defeats, they still claim the championship.At the forenoon session each contestant played two games with his opponent, the grouping being determined by lot.In the afternoon the winners moved : : - ; : \u201cansville \u2018branch of the FEastern Townships up one table each.The winner of each match gets three points, while a draw counts one point.In the evening there was a good time.Many had never seen the game played by one blindfolded, and when they ssw Mr.W.B.Macdonald, of Granby, in his exhibitions in that capacity, they were more than amused.The following are those that so far have made the best showing: Geo.Wigget, Sherbrooke D.J.Watson, Sherbrooke R.J, Woods, Richmond M.H.Drohan, Richmond F.W.Dyson.Richmond A.Brochu, Sherbrooke .+.+.Thomas Muir, Scotstown Geo.Stewart, Cowansville .R.D.Morkell, Sherbrooke J.H.Bryce, Sherbrooke Coroncr Woodward, Sherbrooke F.Thompson, Sherbrooke Jno.Duncan, Sherbrooke .Rev.A.Maltars J « The biggest excitement will be this af- ternoocn, when the number of contestants NO far the playing has been like weeding out the less skilful.Constable Couture has challenged the winner, and the gaine will be played after the matches.Coroner Woodward showed up at the start, but after a few moves he had to take a back seat.Mr.R.W.Morkell, another old gentleman, disappointed a good many, but perhaps he will do better to-morrow.RING, McCOY APPLIES TO BRADY.New York, Jan.21\u2014W.A.Brady received a letter from

correspondent writes about a hockey match which took place in Cowansville between the team of that town and one from Knowlton.Among other references he said : \u201cAlso when such gentlemen as bank managers and doctors wiil persist in getting on the ice and using abusive language to a visiting team, it is a shame and a disgrace to the town.\u201d Mr.James Mackinnon, manager of the Cow- Bank, says he was the only bank manager who attended that match, and he emphatically denies that he used any abusive language to the visiting team or to anyone else, and declares that the accusation is utterly false.AP mam ee om TROTTING.GRAND CIRCUIT DATES.Detroit, Mich., Jan.24.\u2014The stewards of the Grand Trotting Circuit held their annual meeting to-day at the Hotel Cadillac and fixed the dates for the big trotting meetings of 1899, which, with the purses announced by cach, arc as follows: Detroit\u2014Week commencing July 17; purges, $47,000, Cleveland\u2014July 24; purses, $40,000.Columbus\u2014July 31; purses, $40,000.Buftalo\u2014August 7; purses, $33,000.Glen's Falls, N.Y.\u2014August 14; purses, 830,000.Readville\u2014August 21; purses, $55,000.Hartford\u2014August

people.Fort Wayne not having sent a representative to the meeting, that city was, with Portland, Me., dropped from the circuit: two new members were admitted, New York and Providence.D.J.Campau, of Detroit, was elected to succeed the late Col.Fdwards, of Cleveland, as president, and Sidocy W Giles, of Cleveland, was re-elected secretary.It was decided that the minimum amount of purses for all three in five heat races should be $1,500, but that two in three heat races will be whatever the individual associations see fit to make them.38 SNOWSHOEING.HOLLIES VETERANS\u2019 NIGHT.The Hollies celebrated their fifteenth anniversary by holding an amalgamated tramp last evening to their club house, which was attended by members of the sister clubs.The trampers, of whom their | were in order.was & very lirge turn-out, left the Windsor Hotel headed by the c.ub's band, which has been the means of boonung matters.The route was up Peel street and around the mountain.The beautiful moonlight night lit up the mountain ,making it appear like daytime.The rustling of the branches overhead seemed to say Holly, Holly, Holly, Holly.Away in the dis tance could be seen the huge bonfires and co.ored lights of the Hollicg® club-housc.The entry into the clubhouse was made with drums beating, bugles blowing and music of ali sorts.It was a carnival in tie finest sense of the world.Mr.Rit- chie, the president of the club, welcomed his guests in a few well chosen remarks, at the same time extending to them the freedom of the club house for the evening.Mr.Stevenson Brown, cË St George, then addressed the club, his remarks \u2018being greatly applauded.He con- gratukated the club on their zucce:sïul turu- cut and strongly advised the club to take in hand the procuring of their own club-house.He drew a splendid illus tration of the ups and downs of sport the same &s in business, but he thought the werst days of snowshoeing were over and that the king of winter sports was once more on the boom.The Montagnards then rendered their club song in grand style, all present joining in the chorus.Mr.Lamalice, president of the Montagnards was the next speaker.He stated that it was his first evening out with the Hollies, but he assured them it would not be the last, as it was one of the finest events of the kind' he had ever attended.Scngs by Mr.Savard and other members fcl'awed, after which Mr.Dubois, of Germany, addressed thw ciub, in a very witty speech.He said on his arrival in Canada he was told that one of the dead winter sports was whowshoeing, lle assured his hearers that he did not come cut to attend its funeral.He thought if the rest of the winter sports were as dead as snowshoeing ke would like very much to attend their funerals, if they took the form of last evenings entertainment.Ie accept him as a member.He was then initiated in true style.The chairman then called on Capt Sully, who is one of the oldest trampers in town, who rendered St.George\u2019s Club song in fine style, after which he was duly bounced.The Holly Orcuestra then had a say in the game ana rendered in fine style the British Grenadiers and some Scotch reels.The chairman than called upon the veterans of the cluv to address the boys.The speakers where Mesars.liodge, Hannah, and Ilug- man.They assured the members of their loyal support and strongly advocated their having a club house of their own, Though thev did neg tramp regularly they felt Like the old war horse, who, on passing the parade ground when the bugle sounded could not be restrained from teking up his place in the ranks and that was the reason they were present last evening, Refreshments were then ! served, after which cake walks, dancing, and so forth, When the time came to break up, there were many expressions of regret that the time for departing had come.The Hollies were congratulated on what was termed one of the best times that the club fave had this winter.De- fere singing \u201cGod Save the Queen,\u201d the President reminded the cluk of the meeting in the Windsor this evening, to which all clubs are invited, to send delegates to enquire inte ithe feasibility of holding an amalgamated tramp to Lachine, also of the club\u2019s steeplechase to Lachine on the 4th of February, and last but not least the \u201cAt Home\u201d in the Windsor on the 1¢th of February.The club band then played the members home.ST.GEORGE SNOWSHOE CLUB.The work of the season 1s pretty well cub out for the members of the St.George Snowshoe Club.On Saturday, the 28th, the veterans\u2019 tramp and dinner will take place, the trampers leaving the Windsor Hotel at 3.30.Tuesday, February, 7, 1s reserved for the second ladies\u2019 tramp of the scason, which, judging by the numbers present at the first tramp, will certainly prove a success.At the concert to be, given by the club at the Windsor Hall on Thursday.February 16, the services of the Zinga® Banjo and Glee Club have becn secured, and Mr.Harold Jarvis, of Detroit, has been engaged io sing on this occasion.The knowledge of \u2018this fact having leaked out before the official announcement, has already resulted in numerous applications for tickets.The annual dinner will be held at the club house on Saturday, February 18th, and promises to be a great success, The ladies will be glad to learn that thy annual at-home, which was omitted last year, will take place this year on Thursday, February 23rd.+ MONTAGNARD CARNIVAL The Masquerade on Monday Night Was One ot the Best Ever Held in Montreal.The masquerade

unable to meet its liabilities, The circular adds that Mr.Chamberlain informed the commission that negotiations for the conclusion of a reciprocity treatv between the British West Indies and the

several soft spots in the market this morning, and while Wall street bad a few as well, there was a big bull movement in some of the leaders there nctably Metropolitan Traction, which sold up to 204 1-2 towards the noon hour.There are many people in Montreal who will smile broadly at this.Montreal people are never out of Metropolitan, and it is safe to say that at mo time has there been nore of the stock held here than at present.On the whole it will mean many thousands of dollars to.them.Wall street maintained its remarkable activity, and apart from the excitement in \u201cMet\u201d there were Dull cards cut on a number of the other leaders.New York brokers wired tips to buy Metropolitan and New York Central in this direction, and incidentally stated that they were having an awful time trying to fill odd orders.One of the local features to-day was the sale of a seat on the Stock Exchange for $10,000.It was bought by Mr.James Rei:l gnd sold by Mr, Barclay Stephens.This is an example of what the boom has dene, for only a few months ago a seat was sold for $6,700.: The Market.Canadian Pacific was a little on the soft side this morning, notwithstanding the increase of $52,000 in the earnings.The stock opened at 86 and on fairly liberal trading sagged off to 85 1-4.The remainder of the market, with the exception of Gas, was not particularly strong either.Toronto Rails sold from

\u201cI should say #0.The number of telegrams sen: some days has been enormous.rhe Chicago business, however, does mot amount to a great deal, aithough it has picked up a little during the past cople of days,\u201d ' * I counted no less than thirty-four people standing in the public section of the Stock xchange al ¢ne time yesterday, which is a fair idea of the interest in the market.Very few of the people interested in stocks ever think of going near the Exchange, for they either visit the brokers in their offices or do business over the teie- pnone.There are thousands of people who have dome business on the Exchange, and do not know what it even looks like.There is little satisfaction in going on the floor, however, and especially when there are many there.You are sure to either walk on some one\u2019s toes or get your own tramped on, and neither, of course, are particularly pleasant.It is too bad in a way that the facilities for the public are not better than they ave, If there was more room there would be more people.* * * One of the most striking features in connection with the great activity in stocks is that money still continues easy.In Montreal the banks still say 4 1-2 per cent.and in Wall street the rate on both call and time money 18 about 2 1-2 to 3 per cent.This is how Montreal rates compare with other cities: * Call.Time.Boston.2 to3 21 to 4 Chicago.+.¢ 5

THE MARKET IS VERY ACTIVE The Fish Business in Montreal is 50 Per Cent, Better Than This Time Last Year.mn THE GOSSIP OF THE \u201cSTREET.\u201d re Wheat continued its boom of yesterdav and this morning saw another active bull market.May wheat started at 73c, went back to 72 3-4c to 72 7-8c, and then recovered to 73 1-2c to 73 5-8c, touching as high as 73 3-4c.July wheat at 12.30 was quoted at 7le.May corn stood at 38c, and July at 37 3-4c to 37 T7-8c.The principal changes in home stocks of wheat not included in the official (New York Produce Exchange) statement follow: Increases of

Country.Speaking of the wheat situation in Manitoba, the Winnipeg Commercial says: \u201cThe local market is, if anything, quieter even than last week, there being very little business doing.One hard spot, Fort William, stands at 68 per bushel; for February delivery, 69e, and May delivery, 72e; No.2 hard and No.1 northern are 3 1-2¢ less, and No.3 hard and No.2 northern are 7c less than No.1 hard.A conference was held this week between the council of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange and J.G.King and Mr Gibb, of Fort William, in regard to the dried wheat.Large samples of dried wheat were brought from Fort William, and vera found to be very satisfactory.After explanation and discussion, it was agreed that there need be no doubt or hesitation as to the satisfac: tery result of drying the wheat at the Port Arthur elevator.Dried No.2 hard and No.1 northern i» worth 60c to 62¢ on cars Port Arthur, and dried No.2 northern 56c to 58c.\u201d e- FISH QUITE ACTIVE, Trade in Fact is 50 Per Cent.Better Than This Time a Year Ago.There continues to be a good demand for all lines of fish: in consequence the market is fairly active.Dealers in some cases state that the volume of business of 50 per cent.over the game period last year.In the line of salt and pickled fish stocks are very light for the scason, especially so of herrings, and prices for the same have advanced 25c per barrel.The lenten reason is now only three weeks off, and as buyers generally have not laid in supplies yet for the same the indica- ticns are at present that stocks of some line of salt and pickled fish will not be ample to fill all requirements, Green cod and haddock are firmer.We quote jobbing prices as fo'lows:\u2014No.1 N.S .herrings, $4.50 to $4.75 per barrel; N.B., in half-barrels, $2.25; No.3 mackerel, $18; No.1 green cod, $5.50 to $5.75; large, $3.75, No.2, $4.25; B.C.salmon, $12.50 Lo $13 per barrel, and $7 for half-barre's; No.1 hake.$4 per barrel; No.1 green haddock, $4.25.CATTLE

including 600 sheep and lambs and about 900 hogs.There was a fair attendance of buyers.Heavy exporters\u2019 and butchers\u2019 choice cattle were about the only things that were in anv urgent demand, and the supply only moderate in cach case.There was not much change in prices from Friday, choice export and butchers\u2019 picked lots being quoted at steady prices.Heavy exports fetched $4.25 to $4.65 per owt.; choice selections.of butchers\u2019 brought Prices for common were a little easier, being quoted at 25e per cwt.lower.The supply of Canadian stockers for Buffalo was about equal to the demand.\u2018The prices remained unchanged from Friday, being quoted at $3.25 to $3.60 per ewt.\u2018There were only a few breeders offered, and such brought steady prices, ranging from $3.50 to $3.75

been rolled up by some of the market leaders and the poo\u2019s prevahing in some of the stocks have been made at the expense of foreigners, in particular cases like New York Central, Union Pacific

they lost, but some Wall street authorities believe foreigners were short of fully 50,000 shares of each of the stocks mentioned, and that they lost froa: ten to twenty points.This would make vheir losses on these stocks alone perhaps $2,500,000, Yesterday\u2019s boom in the \u2018\u2018coalers\u201d resulted in an added valuation to the capital of the stocks traded in of $10,0u0,0uu, of which

speculator, says: \u201cI am not surprised over the advance in prices to-day nor the great volume of business It is the natural result of conditions, resulting from the cheapness of money and the growth of the country.Prices have not yet reached the top notch.They avg bound to keep climbing so long as there is so much money seeking investment at a low rate of interest, This is just the beginning.\u201d What Clews Says.Henry Clews says: \u201cThe natural conditions prevailing at the present lime in this country are, of course, in favor of the bull side of the market to an extent great- When William II.Vanderbilt sold to a syndicate 300.000 shares of his New York Cen- vation of 8 per cent.for threc years.At ' that time it required a stock to pay 8 per | cent.to justify its market price to be 130.Now this same company only pays 4 per cent.dividends and the stock sells at 140.The money and business conditions of this : country lave undergone a change in the | same proportion since that time.\u201cIt is due to this change that a 4 per body contributes to the huge profits of { cent.stock now sells as hich as an 8 per cent.stock formerly did.The investment interest rate has gone down to stay in this country to be in keeping with the rate prevailing in the European money centres.The reason for this is the general confidence, both at home and abroad, in the maintenance of the gold standard, together with the recognition of the vast resources of the country.\u201d A POULTRY SHOW.An Exhibition of the \u2018Eastern Ontario Poultry Association Is Being

Respect to His Memory Yesterday \u2014In no Mood foi Work.Quebce, Jan.25.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The Legislative Council mourned the absence of a familiar figure yesterday.It was only twelve days ago waen the Ion.Dr.Mar- cil paid a touching trbute to the mem- orv of his old friend, the Hon, Wilfrid Prevost, and now he too has been gathered to his fathers.The House was in no mood for business, and a motion to adjourn met with no oppositin, 1t was the Hon.Pierre Garneau who moved the adjournment.He dwelt eloquently on the public and private virtues of his late colleague, his fearless public spirit, and his steadfast adherence to principle.He was one of the notable figures in that assemblage, and his place would be difficult to supply.The Hon.Thomas Chapais, leader of the Opposition, seconded the motion, and spoke .warmly and generously of one who had always been an adversary, but one whom he had admired and truly respected.The hon.gentleman was deeply affected as he epoke.\u2018The Hon.Horace Archambault added his offering to the memory of the deceased.and eloauently recalled the sacri- : fices which he had made in the interest of his party and his province, when he had waived a just claim to promotion, for the sake of enabling the Government to carry out its economical policy.Dr.Lanctot, who had been introduced ! for the first time in the House that afternoon, Messrs.Garneau and Perodeau being his sponsors, also recalled the virtues of the deceased, whom he-had known for many years.Speeches were also delivered by the Hon.Messrs, Gedeon Quimet, R.Turner and J.K.Ward, \u2014\u2014 Mock Parliament Cabinet.The cabinet of the Laval Mock Parliament, which is to have its session in a couple of weeeks, is formed as follows: L.E.A.Beauchesne, prime

Will Get it To-day.FIRST SURPLUS IN YEARS.Fact Since Moved Into the New Building.In \u2014 THE TRADE OF MONTREAL.The annual report of, the Board of Trade was issued yesterday and mailed do the It is long, as usual, Among other I i \u2014 | t ! | ! i members last nigh.wnd of considerable interest.titings jt says: Throughout the world the revival o! trade during the past year has been exceptional, und Canada has enjoyed a full grave of the general prosperity; indeed, it may be said that 1898 proved a turning | point in the career of the country, and | that, where before there were doubts and wuxieties, there 1s now a general feeling of security which it 1s noped the Canadian business world will enjoy fur many years lo cote.There have mot been s» few failures since 1887, and not for many years has the list of liabilities been so small; this is perhaps the surest indication of the prosper- dus condition of the country.The crops of last year were not only! plentiful, but profitabie, and farmers in the Northwest have thereby been enabled ; to pay their debts, purchase improved machinery, and in many ways benefit themselves.In the butter and cheese trade, Canada lias more than held its own, and to-day the: country stands pre-eminent in the exportation of the latter article.Up to eigh- tcen months ago, the trade in butter was largely of an experimental nature, now, however, the basis upon which it stands is | fivm, and there is certainly a good future before it.The development of the mineral resources of Canada has shown material im- | provement, the output being far in excess | of what it was a year ago.Many of the ! mines of British Columbia, which in 1897 were more or less speculative properties, are now paying a reasonable return on the capital invested; this has given an impetus to foreign investments in that Province, and the field is rapidly being opened up.Canadian securities, such as bank stocks, industrials, street railways, ete, are now sclling at higher prices than ever before, indicating an increased volume of money and restored confidence.In the main the markets have been very profitable to Canadian trade, and the following shipping returns for the port of Montreal show a substantial increase in both the number of sea-going vessels and their tonnage.\u2018The increase in the value of merchandise exported is in like ratio, while the imports are alse largely in ax- cess of any previous year.Another year will undoubtedly see many improvements in the harbor, for during 1898 plans have been gradually maturing which.now seem in a fair way of hecoming accomplizhed, thus affording the much-needed facilities for the steamships of larger tonnage which will visit tiis port in the near future.The work of the Council during the past twelve months is reviewed in detail.Con- eluding, the report says: \u201cYour Council, in conoludinz this record of the business which thas come before it during the year.specially commends to the new Council the

OF THE ORDER.Mediation to Remove the Differences Between England and Quebec Unsuccessful.ee mn \u2019 THE ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN, \u2014\u2014 The twenty-ninth annual communication of the Grand Lodge of Quebec, A.F.& A.M., was opened this morning at the Masonic Temple, and there was a large attendance of Masons from all parts of the M.W.Bro, EE.T.D.Chambers presided, and he was supported in The \u2018Grand East by RB.W.Bro.B.Tooke, Deputy Grand Master, and other distinguished brethren.The Grand Secretary called the roll, and the Committea on Credentials reported that a constitutional number of lodges wera properly represented, after which the Grand Master reported that all Master Masons in good standing who were desirous to visit the Grand Lodge would be per- tutted to do so.The Grand Secretary then submitted the minutes of the \u201cemergent communications and the last annual communication, which were confirmed.The Grand Master's Audress.M.W.Bro.Chambers, in delivering his annual address, said that in the name of the Great Architect of the Universe, and in obedience to the constitution of the rand Lodge of Quebee, they were assew- bled to pass upon the work of the craft in this jurisdiction during the year which had just gone by, but before doing so they must acknowledge their gratitude to Almighty rod for the many blessings bestowed by Him.He continued: \u201cIt is estimated that our institution to-day includes 1,365,000.À : 1 vi \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 be M.W.BRO.= T.D.CIHHAMBERS, Grand Master, Grand Lodge of Quebec, A.F.& M.-\u2014 \u2014 Thirty years will have elapsed in the month of Odtober next since the foundations of the Grand Lodge of Quebec were firmly and enduringly laid by the fathers vf the grand body of whom a few remain to this present, though the greater number have fallen asleep.The twenty-one ledges which united on October 20th, 1859, in the formation of the Grand Lodge of Quebec contained naturally but a small membership.Ten years ago the number of those owing obedience to this Grand Lodge was 2,820.To-day I em | proud to be able to report that we have wt chartered lodges and two under digpen- sation .upon the register of the Grand Lodge of Quebec, with a total membership of over 3,400 which, in view of the peculiar circumstances operating against us in the Province of Quebec, may certainly be considered a remarkable showing.Well indeed did the architects and builders of this Grand Lodge design and execute their working plans.\u201cLet us do our work as well, \u201cBoth the unseen and ithe seen.\u201cAnd thus prove ourselves the worthy successors of those who have gone, of those distinguished Masons who were with us at the formation of the Grand Lodge, and.meet disciples and fellow workers of Graham, Dunbar, Tait, Stearns, Isaacson and Shaw, and the rest of the fathers who are vet mercifully preserved to us.\u201cWe rejoice and give thanks for the sue- cesses of the past, and renew our vigor for the future, because we are reminded on every hand that the teachings of Freemasonry are amongst the world\u2019s greatest needs.makes countless thousands mourn, ani even the oldest existing forms of civilization without the underlying principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth, are little better than relics of barbarism.Some of the events of the flast few months have shown \u2018how rapidly the old time supremacy of might unaccompanied by right may be swept aside by the forces that operate for the furtherance of a practical belief in the Brotherhood of Man.The civilization of Spain, like that of ancient Egypt and Greece and Rome lacks the essential principles of permanency that are found alone in the eternal verities underlying the foundation of our beautiful system.There are those in Spain who call themselves by the name of Masons, with whom and the so- called governing Masonic bodies in that country, this Grand Lodge severed all connection some years ago by the adoption of a report which I had the honor of presenting to it as the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations and Correspondence.The, Re e t Wars.\u201cWhile it i Afapossible for us, without transgressing the landmarks of Masonry, to indulge as Masons in national or political discussions, we should scarcely prove jimeætertai* progress Man\u2019s inhumanity to man still eg\u2019 offered.Munroe\u2019s

expression of gratification at the speedy triumph m a recent war of the principles which make for the increased happiness of humanity.There is reason io hope that Masonry in Cuba, under the new order of things, will take a fresh start and prosper \"as it has never done before.\u201cGreat cause for rejoicing is to be also found in the recent release from worse than ancient Egyptian bondage of the vast country drained by the head waters of tha Nile.The victory of the arms taken up on behalf of humanity, both in the Old World and in the New will be followed by those civilizing, educating and humanitarian influences that so beautifully harmonize with the spirit of Freemasonry.\u201cFor war our craft has the greatest possible abhorrence.We therefore hail with delight both the proposal of the Czar of Russia for a general disarmament, and the gratifying approval of the scheme which has gone forth from many of the other great powers\u2014a .proposal and an approval which we are bound, in ali frankness, would be matter for much more satisfaction were not the very nations from which they have proceeded still engaged in increasing their armies and in issyng crders for the construction of new ships und engines of war.\u201d à Canada's Prosperity.As a pation, we have had much to pe thankiu: for during the past year.Both and ment have made good strides, und the blessing of peace had been preserved to us.Business activity and comunrercial prosperity had been marked features ot Canada\u2019s progress.Our country had been privileged to have a number of its repre- selitalive men appointed upon the High International Cominission tüat was endes voring to settle the points of difference betwveen.this Dominion and jts southern neighbors.This method of removing international difficulties was in ful accord with the teachings and practices of Iree- masonry, and amongst the memoers of the Commission during its sitting in Quebev, the Grand Master was surprised to meet, in the person of Senator Faulkner, with a distinguished Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of West Virginia.The Grand Master then made allusion to the fraternal dead of the year, who included the Rev.I.H.Lloyd, graud chaplain of the Quebec #1id Three Rivers district of this Grand Lodge, and the Earl of Lati:om, who répresented I1.R.H.the Prince of Wales as pro-Grand Master of the Grand Lodge oï England.He rec- cmmended that a memorial page be placed in the Grand Lodge proceedings.halis dedicated during the year and to the two lodges working under dispensatron\u2014 Westmount and Fidelity (Agnes, Lake Me- gantic).The decisions rendered by him during the year were detailed at length.One of these was to refuse the application of Plantaganet Lodge, No, 186, G.R.C., fe the waiving of the jurisdiction of th» Grand Lodge of Quebec over a resident of the city of Montreal, in order that they might initiate him into the l\u2019lantaganet lodge.The Address to the Queen.The illuminated address to the Queen, which was approved by Grand Lodge at its last cnnual communication, was for warded to Her Gracious Majesty by the Grand Secretary of Quebec through the Grand Secretary of the Grand l.odge of England, whost Most Worshipful Grand Master stands so near to the person aud the throne ot our beloved sovereign.Her Majesty's reply reached the Grand Master through the Secretary of State for the Colonies and His Excelleney the Governor- General (Lord Minto).Writing from Ottawa, Major L.G.Drummond, the Gov- ernor-General\u2019s secretary, says: \u201cI am directed by His Excellency the Governor-General, to inform you that the Secretary of State for the Colonies telegraphs that Her Majesty the Queen desires that her heartfelt thanks may be conveyed to the Freemasons of the Grand Lodge of Quebec for their beautifully executed address of congratulation, which she has received with much satisfaction, and for the expressions of loyalty which it con tains, Her Majesty the Queen 1s greatly touched by the feeling allusions to the Duke of Kent and the Prince of Wales with reference to their work and influence in the Masonic brotherhood.\u201d England and Quebec.After referring to the fact that he had received, through M.W.Bro.It.T.Malone, Grand Master ot the Grand Lodge of Can: ada in Ontario, facts furnished by MW.Bro.Walkem, P.G.M., regarding the lat ter\u2019s mediatorial efforts with a view to removing the Masonic differences existing in this jurisdiction, especially with regard to the three lodges in the city under the Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of England, which \u2018had fallen short of tlre desired result, but through no fault of his, the Grand Master continued.\u201cM.W.Bro.Walkem\u2019s labors merit the gratitude not only of this Grand Lodge, but of all wha are interested in the union of Masonic work and influence and the unity of jurisdictional government of the craft.Muen good for the betterment of the race on the part of both moralists and philanthropists would be more effective but for these unhappy divisions that interfere with a proper unification of energy and action.\u201cThe Grand Lodge of Quebec has exhausted all the means at her disposal for attaining the end to which M.W.Bro.Walkem\u2019s efforts were directed.The sov- creignty of this Grand Lodge is so firmly established and so universally recognized that its dignity can no longer be affected by circumstances over which it has no control or a \u2018division which it has done its best to heal.I am thankful to say that cur relations with our brethren of the En-lish lodges in this city are\u2014at present \u2014those of amity, peace and fraternity.Nothing further would seem to remain to us than to await with patience the healing effect of time.Animated by the same zcal, moved by the same impulses, devot- el to the same objeets, bent upon the same beneficent mission, and combatted by the same hostile influences as we are our brethren of the English lodges in Montreal are «till separated from us, though to them the- dividing line may appear but the narrow veil of jurisdictional sentiment.While wishing them well, we cannot conceal the fact that there are obstacles enough to the progress of the order in Quebec without the added difficulty and paralyzing influence of a jurisdictional dividing line, and that the lessons of Frcemasonry will be best both exemplified and taught by a perfect solidarity of all the lodges, in addition to \u2018our present unily of sympathy and purpose.\u201d The Grand Master paid a high compliment to the report om foreign correspondence prepared by R.W.Bro.Will H.Whyte, as chairman of the committee, nationas deverov- | in memory of so distinguished a brother ; Reference was made to the new Manronic ' Mr.W.A.Scott Is

correspondence, and then referred to the action of the Grand Lodge of the State of Washington in recognizing the so-called negro masonry, of which he disapproved on the ground that it had never been constituted by competent Masonic authority.The Grand Lodge of Peru.The Grand Lodge of Peru had replaced the Bible upon its altars, and now wanted the Grand Master to withdraw his edict of non-intercoursé.\" He had referred the matter to the committee on foreign correspondence for its report.Whatever action this Grand Lodge may take in the matter, it should be clearly understood that we have no sympathy with any vacillating policy in regard to the great Light of Masonry.J In returning into the hands of Grand Lodge the emblem of authority with which he had been entrusted two years ago, the Grand Master claimed that he had dcne his best to maintain the dignity pertaining to the office.He returned thanks for the kindness and courtesy that had been extended to him by \u2018the officers of Grand Lodge, the Past Grand Masters and the D.D.G.M.\u2019s of the various districts, and concluded : \u201cWhatever may be my future lot in life, I shall ever look back with special satisfaction to the term of office that has now.expired, and shall feel the satisfaction that no greater honor can befall me than to have presided as Grand Master over the destinies of the Grand Lodge of Quebec\u201d The Grand Master\u2019s address was referred to the committee on the state of Masonry for report.) : The report of the Grand Secretary, M.W.Bro.J.H.Isaacson, gave details of the business transacted through his office during the year, together with the num- bes of initiations.suspensions, withdrawals, removal by death, ete.The initiations for the year numbered 237.The report

From the \u2018\u201cTheatre Royal\u201d on the programme to the dramatis personae, it Was all royal, The play was tbe \u2018Babes in the Wood.\u201d The babes were Lady Violet Elliot and Lord Melgutd, babes who would attract attention even were they not the children of Cunada\u2019s Governor-General.Such a sweet little face peered out, from the white rutfled bonnet.And one forgot for tne time that the bonnie little boy was, as tha children say, a \u201creal live lord,\u201d though but a 7-year-old one.Lady Eileen Kiliot made as charming a prince as ever lived outside a fairy tale.A blooming, beautiful face had this prince, to which the white satin, the rose colored velvet coat gold lace, powdered hair, patches, sword, Order of the Garter and the Blue Ribbon were fitting accessories.Lady Ruby Elliot, as Jane, the daughter of the wicked Baron, was dainty ard sweetly pretty in white satin.The stately steps of the minuet were never taken with a more witching grace than by these two, the Prince, with the slow movements of his three-vornered hat, and Lady Jane, with the fluttering of her fan.Capt.H.Graham tock the part of Baron Gruffanuff, the wicked uncle, and with it he also \u201clook\u201d the house, for his songs and local hits were amusing and suggestive.Mr.A.Guise, another of the aides, took the part of Will to perfection.His gestures were enough to make a deacon laugh.Capt W.Lascelles looked and acted very wicked âx the villian who was hired to kill the babes.He was such a picturesque villian in red breeches and black velvet coat that the ladies felt inclined to forgive him, especially the younger ones.Mrs.Gummidge, the nurse, was immense.Who was she, or he, rather?No one seemed to ktwow, and \u201cfrom the Frivolity Theatre, Klondike,\u201d did not tell much.The little robins, Miss Stella Drummond and the Hon.Esmond Elliot.were very cute in red satin breasts, and brown clothes.Tlow their little brown eads and tails did waggle, as they hopped about, covering the babes with dead leaves.Lineir part was all too short, for thoy kept on hopping until they had to pe coaxed off the stage.Atter the piay a delicious supper was | served in the Racquet Court at smuil tab.es.'Dhe Government House party occupied a table at the head of the room.lunen the actors went around in their (stage dresses and made many 1riends among the guests.Their luxeellencies stood at the \"door and bid esch one good night.\u2018The : Countess of Minto wore \u20acn the first night a lovely gown of black, threaded with ( silver sequins, pink roses in the bodice j and diamonds enciveling a 'biue ribbon in her hair.On the second night she wore a gown of cream brocaded satin and coronet of diumonds.The Saturday afternoon skating and to- boganning parties at Government House are abways looked fonward to with pleas: ure.\u2018They are informal, and dress is net considered at all by the greater part of those attending.One does see, however.some bewitching skating costumes, and a few pretty street dreuses.The regulation desired is to look \u2018\u2018sporty,\u201d especially by the men, and any one who owns a tuque or sash wears it with a feeling of having met the requirements of society.Last Saturday can be called the first one oË these given this winter, as the previous Saturday had been rainy.and one can\u2019t skate or toboggan in tho rain, even under Vice-Regal patronage.Wa were early, in fact, we held that dreadful position of the first arrival.\"The littie ceremony used during the last regime has disappeared.The orderly who stood at the door and in a loud tene bawled out \u201cMr, Brown-Smith, Mrs.Brown-Smith, and Miss Brown-Smith,\u201d still stands as ot old, but now he says, \u201cPlease pass on, they are all out on the ice\u2019\u201d\u201d And there they were.His Excelleney, skating around as if he thoroughly enjoyed it, the three pretty little daughters\u2014Lady Eileen, Lady Violet, and Lady Ruby Elliot\u2014in bright gearlet skirts and jackets of blanket eloth, wearing heavy fur caps; Lady Sybil Beau- clerc, in dark grey, and the aides in light grey.As we stood at the edge of the ice watching them a girlish figure in a bright green short skirt, black velvet jacket, hat of shirred green velvet, with black ostrich tips, mink boa and white wobllen gloves, gracefully skated up to us and held out her hand.This was the Countess of Minto.Then she circled away, and the words fairy-like, sylph-like and bird-like came into the mind.To see beautiful skating is a pleasure, but to see a beautiful woman skating beautifully is a double pleasure.The tall aides looked very tall ou skates.Let me tell you a secret.They are the most agreeable and affable batch of aides ever in Ottawa together.Some one said, \u201cThey won't be as nice after they have been here for a time.\u201d What a dreadful reflection upon our climate or people! Well, we will go to Government House and flirt with the good- looking aides as long as they will let us, and then, when they get gruff, we will | go and flirt with some one else.It is all the same to us.and to them.There is no doubt that Their Excellencies twill be greatly liked.They have the friendliness and sympathy that goes with our bracinz Canadian ozone.BRAVERY REWARDED.Mr, Geo.A.Marcellus, of Morrisburg, Presented With the Humane Society\u2019s Bronze Medal.Morrisbmig, Jan.24 \u2014(Special.)\u2014At a crowded public meeting held in the A.O.U.W.Mall here last night, Mr.George A.Marcellus was presented with the bronze medal donated by the Royal Canadian Humane Association for his bravery and proupt action in rescuing Ross Weageant, :Ë Riverside, from drowning on August 2nd, 1898.On tlre platform were Rev.Messrs.Spar- Ing.Cameron, Keller, and Mesars.W.A.Whitney, A.Broder, M.P., A.Johnston, Thomas MoDonald, Dr.C.E.Hickey and others.Mr.A.Johnston occupied the chair.After a few well chosen remarks br the chairman, Mr.Marcellus was called to the platform and, amid deafening ap- pause, was presented with the medal bv loss Weageant, the young lad whom he Yiad rescued.Mr.Marcellus received the medal and ovat on in a very modest and becoming manner.Each of the gentlemen on the platform then, in turn, made a few remarks, ull expressing their appreciation of the brave deed and also the wise course adopted by the Humane Association in the very \u2018substantial way that they recognize deeds of bravery.One of the speakers advocated the establahing of swimming baths or rather spaces set apart on the river shore where the youth could learn to swim without endangering their lives.Mr.Marcellus\u2019 act was brought to the rotice of the R.C.H.A.through the instru- wentality of Mr.E.Tarlinger and the aswociation responded very promptly in its award.A vole of thanks was tendered Mr.Forlinger at the close of the meeting.The circumstances of the accident in which young Weageant came so near losing Jus life were as follows: On August 22ud, 1898, Weagewnt, with some of his companions, were in ssvimming near Riverside, a sma'l place about three miles east of h-re.The current at that point is very swift, and the river is from twelve to fifteen feet in depth.Weagent got hevond his depth and immediately sank.His companions ra\u2018sed the alarm, but were unable to help him, and it was fully twenty minutes before Mr.Marcellus arrived on the scene.He immediatly procured a bool and rowing to the spot where Weageant bad sunk, cormenced diving for the bodv.After repeated attempts he was at length successful, but for a while it was thought that life was extinct.Owing to his promptness ¢f action and perseverance in using the usual mears cof resuscitation in such cases, Mr.Marcellus was at length re- RAILWAYS.CANADIAN.We zd Nod d ol oN Change in Time.QUEBEC SECTION.COMMENCING SUNDAY, January 29, 1899, Leave PLACE VIGER STATION, for QUEBEC and THREE RIVERS, 8.40 am.\u2014WEEK DAYS.3.80 p.m.\u2014DAILY, Sundays included.11.00 p.m.\u2014DAILY, Sundays included.For JOLIETTE & ST.GABRIEL, 5.00 p m.\u2014~WEEK DAYS.City Ticket and Telegraph Office.129 St.James St, Pa EXO GRANT FAST EXPR gs ESS TRAINS TORONTO AND WEST.Double Track.Dally £x.Sun.Lve.Montreal .9.00a.m.*10.25 p.m Arr.Toronto ev 5-30 p.m 7.15 a.m l'Arr.Hamilton .6.53 p.m 8.45 a.m ; Arr.Niagara Falls 8.40 p.m.10.55a.m Arr.Buffalo® .0.00 p.m.12.0 Onoon Arr.London .3.10 a.m.11.30 a.m rr.Detroit .6.45 a.m.2.00pm A Arr, Chicago .2.00pm.9.10pm *On Sunday leaves Montreal 8.00 p.m.FAST EXPRESS TRAINS AT POPULAR HOURS .\u2026.BETWEEN.Montreai and Ottawa.Leave Montreal, 7.20 a.m., 9.30 a.m., except Sunday, and 4.55 p.m.daily.Leave Ottawa, 8.00 a.m.daily, 3.30 p.m.and 6.45 p.m., exceyt Sunday.For Tickets, reservation of Berths, and all information, apply to Company's Agents.CITY TICKET OFFICES\u2014137 St.James St, and Bonaventure Station.Antercolonia!

old people are troubled with a distressing Cough which seizes on them as soon as the cold weather sets in, and renders them almost invalids for the entire winter.Those subject to recurring colds of this kind, will find relief and cure by using Dr.Wood\u2019s Norway Pine Syrup.It is wonderful the way it checks the Cough and so heals and gives strength and vitality to the lungs that they are able to resist an attack of cold.Mr.S.Smith, Sidney P.0., Man., writes: \u201cI had a very bad cold which lasted nine weeks.I tried various remedies but got Ae no relief, I then bought six @ rats bottles
