Ottawa, May 9.\u2014Sir Charles Tupper has never forgiven Lord Aberdeen for huring thwarted him in his design to force through a list of appointments, including several senatorships, after his government which had never received thc endorsation of the people, had been overwhelmingly defeated, in the general elections of 1896 and after its leader had declared through the press his intention of tendering his resignation.Yesterday the Opposition leader re-opened the flood gates of his indignation when speaking to a notice of motion asking for copies of all correspondence upon which Sir Wiifrid had based his statement in the House of Commons on June 10th, 1898, when the Premier had said: \u201cI have the authority of the Secre- lary of State for the Colonies to state that he approves of the principles on which the Gorernor-General acted, as based on the facts set forth in the letter of His Excellency to Sir Charles Tupper.\u201d \u2018Throughout his speech Sir Charles gave further evidence of the light regard in which he held the laie Governor-General and which has been such a bonanza for the gossips since the coolness developed nearly three years ago.The burden of hig argument in favor of the retention of the advising power beyond the period of defeat, Sir Charles, based upon the alleged analogy of the case of Lord Derby\u2019s government in England in 1852 and that of Hon.Alexander Mackenzie in Canada in 1878, without taking the trouble to state the points of difference even in these cases between the position of the Derby and \u2018Mackenzie Governments and the discredited organization which had succeeded the Mackenzie Bowell administration (itself two steps removed from a government that had been to the electorate) and which had subsequently been turned out of power by the people of the Dominion.Nor did Sir Charles refer to the fact Lord Aberdeen had approved of 433 Tup- per appointments and had only refused his signature in the case of 17 proposals which were of such a character that no Gov- ernor-General could properly make the ap- pcintments upon the advice of a ministry which had mot only been defeated by the people but had never had their endorsation.Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s Endorsation.+ * Sir Wilfrid Laurier in reply pointed out the fairness of Lord Aberdeen\u2019s decision in separating the cases of the appointments called for by the necessities of routine business and such other appointments as those to vacancies in the Senate, {wo of them created by the resignation of men who had left their seats to take part in the elections where they had been rejected by the people.Continuing Sir Wilfrid emphasized the cardinal principle of 1e- sponsible government, that no one has a right to advise the Crown unless he has the confidence of the people.Referring to the attitude of the Colonial office in Great Britain he showed that Lord Aberdeen\u2019s course had been endorsed by the Hon.Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies.The Premier proceeded to quote a cablegram received by Lord Aberdeen from Mr.Chamberlain on June 9th, 1898, in which the latter had declined the privilege of publishing the private despatch of August, 1896, but had conseated to the use of the third paragraph of that despatch, in which approval had been expressed with the course taken by the Gov- ernor-General in the matter of the differences between him and Sir Charles Tup- per.Sir Wilfrid concluded by quoting the circumstance of the Star interview two days after the election of 1896, in which Sir Charles Tupper had expressed his intention to resign.4 = A.Discredited Ministry.17 The Liberal position upon the question clear.It is admitted that where n Ministry has received and enjoys the popular support nothing by the instructions, rowers and duties of the Governor-Gen- eral, nothing but matters of the greatest mo:nent should lead an occupant of the office to refuse to follow his minister's advice.Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s Ministry never had received popular support, and in applying for popular support had been, in the admission of all, totally defeated at the polls.Then there were the chain of circumstances following upon the rise and fall of the Mackenzie Boweli admin- istaiicn, the formation of the Tupper Cabinet with two Senators in it, Messrs.(Angers and Desjardins, both from the Province of Quebec, which subsequently returned such a sweeping Liberal majo:- ity, all affecting the case.Sir Charles himself had admitted defeat at the elections, and Messrs.Angers and Desjardins, as well as others of the Ministry, had fallen in the fight.All of these facts were known to Lord Aberdeen and doubtless were considered by him.Sir Charlas Tupper, in his speech yesterday, carefully avoided referring to them.To have dons so would have been to again bring out the fact that he was at the head of a Cabinet supposedly formed by the Gov- ernor-General on the advice of Sir Mackenzie Bowell,but in reality as the nominee of the seven bolters.In the face of these facts and the undoubted wave of Liberal- is ism that swept him from power, how Sir .iles hopes to get a hearing from a l «x $ament in which Mr.Chamberlin, who has already spoken strongly on the question, is a prominent figure, is a proposition almost as ridiculous as the pro posal to make public a portion of a document the contents of which, excepting in so far as they related to the point at is- eue, are kept secret at the request of the Imperial Government, and in the best interests of Great Britain.A Second Kruger.Sir Charles {ras not yet satisfied, but reopened his argument in order to make an assertion which will doubtless cause some merriment in England.He stated that if the facts showed that Mr.Chamberlain had acted in the manner stated, he (Sir Charles) would not rest until he had carried his plea for redress to a higher authority than the Canadian Parliament, presumably to the Imperial Parliament, where, by the way, Mr.Chamberlain now enjoys the confidence of the admin*atra- tion.The Opposition leader was not satisfied with the frank statement made by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, nor with the extract from Mr.Chamberlain's despatch dealing with the subject under discussion.He would have it all, not excluding the part of fhe message» which the Secretary ot State for the Colonies had described us private, and which, for reasons known to the Imperial Government, it was deemed advisable not to disclose.Sir Charles was big with indignation, and doubtless hoped to draw the attention of the world to his grievances by making his bluff as big as possible, even if by so doinz Prit- ish interests diplomatically were compromised.Should he keep to his word, Mr.Chamberlain will have a Tupper as weli as a Kruger on his hands.An International Question.- An international question with a dramatic side to it was raised by Mr.M.K.Cowan, of South Essex, Ont., who detailed the circumstances attending the arrest and confinement of Mr.Mather on the St.Clair river in August last by American Customs Officer Avery.Mr.Cowan produced affidavits to show that the arrest had been made forcibly and unjustly on Canadian territory, and that Mather, a Canadian subject, had been taken ta the American side and grossly maltreated.He argued that the action of the American cfficer had been in contravention of a well- established principle of international law, and asked that the papers in connection with the matter be produced with a view to securing satisfaction from the United States.Other members from Western Ontario spoke in favor of Mr.Cowan\u2019s motion, which was freely applauded in the House and finally passed.Pensions for, Soldiers.Considerable discussion took place ovar a motion by Lt.-Col.Sam Hughes, aflirming that in the opinion of the House a pension system should be established for oth-: cers and men of the Canadian permanent corps, and of the headquarters and district staff who are not under the Civil Service Act.Lt.-Col.Hughes expressed his views in unqualified terms, but was satisfied to leave the matter there and withdraw his motion at the request of the Minister of Militia.Hon, Dr.Borden approved of the principle, but thought it unwise to press the resolution at the moment.Cost of the Militia.In response to the order of the House passed upon motion of Lt.-Col.Domville, Hon.Dr.Borden, Minister of Militia und Defence laid upon the table of the House the following statement of the expenditure for each year from 1867 to 1889 of the Militia Department and the amount expended in these years for the Royal Military College, Kingston.The following returns given are \u2018for the period ending on June 30th in each year: Expen~ Pay of diture

THE LAW His Threat to ignore the Provisions of the Charter to Get Money for May 24 Was a Bluff.rares CONFERENCE YESTERDAY ForRaising Money for Queen's Birthday Showed Good Effect of Hon.Mr, Stephens\u2019 Action.\u2014_\u2014 A SUB-COMMITTEE WILL REPORT \u2014 The Mavor's threat to ignore the provisions of the charter and obtain from the city treasury, in an illegal manner, money to aid the militia in the celebration of the Queen\u2019s Birthday, will not be carried into effect.The law will be respected, and if the money is provided it will be by private subscription.This was decided upon at an informa meeting of Council | held in the Mayor's chambers Just previous to the regular meeting of Council yesterday afternoor.The aldermen bad assembled in response to a call sent out by the Mayor.Among those who took the trouble to attend were Ald.Stevenson, Laporte, Sad- ler, Beausoleil, Roy, Dufresne, Gagnon, Lareau, Ames, Fkers, Paquette and Turner.Rk The Mayor explained to the assembly the unpleasant situation in which \u2018he and they, as representatives of \u2018the people, were placed.It was expected, he said, that the city would contribute financial aid to the military celebration at Logan's Park on the Queen\u2019s Birthday.It had been ascertained recently that the city had no power to vote any money for such a purpose this year.Not only would the military suffer because of the stringency of the law, but the bicyclists would also be affected.He had thought of holding a conference with Ald.Rainville, chairman of Finance, but unfortunately Ald.Rain- ville had not yet returned from Europe.lt might be possible to find some way by which the necessary amount could be varied from appropriations already voted.lt was important that something should be done immediately.A conference with the niembers of Finance and the City Treasurer might result in a plan by which the money could be varied as suggested.1t would look very queer indeed if the military men were permitted to come to the city for the celebration without entertainment or reception of some kind.Of course the hands of the Mayor and aldermen were tied by the city charter.Ald.Dufresne asked why the money could not Le taken from the reserve fund, as in previous years.The Mayor replied that the new charter, in its provisions relating to the reserve fund, was not nearly so elastic as: the old charter.The only way to remedy the difficulty and prevent its repitition would be to vote, in future years, an appropriation that could be used for such purposes.There was nothing to do in the present case but to hold a conference with the Finance Committee and the ' City Treasury.Money had been varied last year when an emergency arose after the reserve was exhausted.Ald.Sadler\u2014\u2018But we were working under the old charter then, Mr.Mayor.The new charter, as you have already said, is not so elastic as the old one was.\u201d Continuing, Mr.Sadler observed that there was only one way out of it in future years, and that was to lay aside a certain amount for special purposes.But where would it end 7?Nearly every organization in the city that had connec- tionsor \u2018visit4 from delegates would asl for grants, thinking they had a right to a pull from the city treasury.It would be a pity if Montreal could not entertain delegates, but they would find it difficuit to draw the line at the right place.His opinion was that the Mayor should have some latitude in deciding as io the disposition of such a fund.Ald.Laporte wanted to know what amount the military men were asking for.The Mayor replied that $2,000 had been considered the minimum.Ald.Laporte\u2014\u201cThe charter is very strict, and it is quite clear that we cannot vote the money legally.There is EMPIRE DAY\" IN| THE CITY SCHOOLS On May 22 There Wiil be a Cele- \\bration in Honor of Her Majesty the Queen.A CHORUS OF 1,000 VOICES At a School Teacher\u2019 sConcert to be

of the aldermen were anxious to know exactly what the money would be used for, but no person present could give the information.Ald.Sadler.Fkers and T.areau each spoke in favor of private subscriptions.Ald.Ames remarked that the law appeared to be so framed that the money could not be iaken from the treasury, and the Jaw must be obered.On the Mayor's suegestion.a sub-com- mittee,

which the wkola af the provinces of the Dominion will be represented.It will take place in Montreal, and the date fixed for the gathering is tho 5th to the 9th of October next.Hitherto the various provinces have held thelr own conventions, but this year ths Provinces of Quebe: and Ontario will merge their own conventions in a national gathering, which will be attended by representative bodies from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward's Island, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories and British Columbia.The convention is the outcome of the Inter-Provin- cial Convention, held at Ottawa three years ago, at which a Canadian Council of Christian Endeavor direotors were appointed to undertake the work of organization.The headquarters of the Council, which has been working quietly and effectively since its appointment in Toronto, consists of three officers, Mr.G.Tower Fergueon, Toronto, president; Rev.Dr.Rose, of Ottaiwa, vice-presi - dent; and Mr.C.J.Atkinson, Toronto, vice- president.This Council has charge of the general arrangements in connection with the convention, but a local committee will have control af the work in connection with tne Montreal gathering, consisting of Mr.James Wilson, of the Dominion Express Company, chairman;Mr.Geo.Lyman, secretary; Mr.A.Mocanmuan, treasurer; Mr.J.H.Cayford, hotel sacretary; Mr.XK.F.Palmer, halls and decorations; Mr, W.S.Leslie, receptions; Mr.J.K.Bell, music; Mr.H.A.Moulton, precs; and Rev.Dr.Dobson, pulpit supplies.It is expected that about 2,000 persons will take part in the convention, which will be the largost gathering of the kind ever held in Canada.The local societies or unions will make their own arrangements as to transportation, but special facilities for cheap conveyance will be offered by the railway companies.\u2018The programme of the various meetings has not yet been drawn up, but each day will have its opecial meeting, for the discussion of various phases of Christian work, at which papers will be read and reports submitted.In Montreal the Christian Endeavorers are numerically very strong, : particularly in the Presbyterian and Methodist denominations.In Onitario the Anzlican Church takes a very prominent part in the movement, and Bishcp Baldwin and Caron Richardson are numbered among the most active workers.The onganization is, however, undenominational in its objects, and sectarianism has no part in the programme.The national gathering in Montreal is looked forward to with great interest by Christian workers, and there is every reason to believe that it will be highly successful.© E- BENOITS FUNERAL It Took Place This Morning and was Attended by Squads of Police and Firemen.The funeral of Mr.Ernest Benoit, son of Chief Benoit, took place this morning

Bills in the Past\u2014Livery Stables will be More Careful.A new tariff of water rates, designed to make Chinese laundries pay the taxes they have evaded in the past, and also te stop the waste of water in livery stables, was passed by the City Council yesterday.Hitherto the authorities have found it impossible to collect water taxes from the numerous Chinese laundries in the city.The resemblance of one Oriental to another, the frequent changes in names, and the no less frequent change in proprietor ship, made the task of the collectors so hard that very little revenue wus ever derived from the \u201cwashee\u201d men.Under the new law the city must put meters in these laundries, and at the same time demand from the Chinamen denosits sufhi- cient to cover the value of such meters.This will save the city from loss in case One Lung should include the meter among his personal effects on moving day.The rent of the meters will be payable quarterly, instead of semi-annually as hitherto.Complaint has frequently been made that livery stables.asasted great quantities of water in washing vehicles.Under dhe new law this waste will bo (necked by the putting in of a meter, a privileze that the city did mot possess hithe:to.The new by-law as passed by Council yesterday reads as follows in rart :- \u201cA uniform rate shall be lavied for horses and cows as follows: For each horse, $2; for each cow, $1.Unless the water supply is furnished by means of a meter in such case, the amount\u2019 of water consumed shall be taxed according to the tariff by-law No.65, under the heading, \u2018Distilleries, breweries, etc.\u2019 \u201cThe owners or occupants of livery stables shall pay for each stall, whether occupied or unoccupied, $2.The water supply, however, may be furnished by means of a meter, and the amount of water, in such case, shall be taxed according to the tariff in said by-law No.65, under the heading, \u2018Distilleries, breweries, ete.\u201d \u201d

gash in his throat.The ambulance from the General Hospital was stmmoned immediately, and the injured man was conveyed to that institution.Ezard would give no reason for the act.The physicians at the General Hospital did their utmost to save the unfortunate man, but he gradually sank, and passed away about nine o'clock last night.Ezard was thirty years of age, and was highly respected by his

is in Montreal's Civil Government, HOUSE OWNER GETS Damages Right Along to His House Cause by Raising of Lagauche- tiere Street Level, \u2014\u2014 CITY COULD EASILY FIX DEFECT \u2014\u2014\u2014 Mr.Justice Mathieu bas just rendered a judgment which shows once more in what predicament the city has been placed through the neglect of years in caring for roads and sidewalks.Because some laborers years ago did their work in a slovenly manner, the city has been obliged, year after year, to pay heavy damages and lawyers costs; and that condition of affairs has been allowed to continue.although a very few dollars and some attention would have repaired the mischief.The vlaintiff in this case is Mr.Alexandre Bourgeau, and the facts, which are not contested by the city's attorneys, are set forth in his declaration for the last action upon wnich he has obtained judgment.2; For more than five years the plaintiff has been the proprietor of the house No.814 and 814a Lagauchetiere street, in St.Antoine Ward.The level of the street and sidewalk has been raised more than a foot since Mr.Bourgeau became owner, and the city has, moreover, made a cut to lay the water pipes, which was bady refilled, the result being that water from the melting snow and rain runs into the foundations of plaintiffs house.The water filters through the foundations, partly from this cause and partly from the bad condition of the sewers, and rises several inches above the floor.The house has thus been made uninhabitable, and the tenant left at the end of April, 1898.although he had leased for the whole year following.Since then it has been impossible to find another tenant.The defective state of the sidewalks and sewers dates back to 1803, and has been the cause of damages ever since.The | plaintiff has sued the city on several occasions.The rity contested tivo of these actions, and each time was condemned to pay damages.\u2018The third time it allowed the case to go by default, and paid costs and damages to plaintiff.By this fourth action plaintiff claimed damages Tor loss of rent to the extent of 120, and the full amount was granted by the court, reserving all rights for future damages.This is the fourth action taken by the same man for the same cause against the city.The first was in 1897, when judæ- ment went against the city for nearly six hundred dollars, damages and casts, Then came another indgment for $190, then another for $150, and finally this last one.° This Evening.Francais\u2014\u2018\u2018 My Partner.\u201d Royal\u2014Australian Beauties.Geoffrion

Interpretation Ruled Out, pme THE PEDDLERS If Possible a Prohibitory By-law Will be Introduced Concerning Them, pme MILKMEN AND BAKERS' FEES.\u2014\"mp The City Council yesterday put through its three readinzs the by-law fixing tue rute of taxation and the license charges.The measure was finally adopted by Counci\u2019 as it came from Finance Commutlee, with a few minor changes, the most important «f which was the reduction of licenses to milkmen and bakers from $10 to $5.A long discuseion took vlace on the -secuion imposing a tax on machinery as immovabie property.Ald.Ames offered an amendment, the purpose of which was to instruct the assessors lo give a certain interpretation to the law in this regard, but the Mavor promptly ruled it out of order on the ground that the City Council could not interpret a Quebec statute or define its meaning.At the opening of the session Ald.Ames rose to a question of privilege.It had been stated during debate at the previous meeting of the Council that a member of Council was associated with Hon.Mr.Ste- hens in \u2018his action against the Mavor.e had not heard the statement made, but he was told of it afterwards, and he was also told that he was the alderman referred to, He wished to state plainly, emphatically and without reserve that he was in no way associated with Mr.Sie.phens in the action.He did not know tiiat the action was contemplated until he read of it in the paper.and he had no communication with Mr.Stephens in reference to the matter at any time.He had acted, he said, in an ahsolutely neutral manner throughout.He asked the aldermen who had made the charge to state his reasons for doing so or to retract his statement.Ald.Lareau Takes it Back.Ald.T.areau who had made the statement complained of, said: \u201cAt the last meeting of Council I did not name any person, but after the meeting I told Ald.Ames privately that it was ha.There existed rumors in my ward, and for that matter in other wards that Ald.Ames was at the bottom of the action taken by Hon.G.W.Stephens.T told Ald.Anes of these rumors after the last meeting of Counril and advised him to denv their foundation.I accent Ald Ames\u2019 denial and withdraw what I said.\u201d : On motion of Ald.Stevenson and Beau soleil, Ald.Fkers was unanimously reelected acting-Mayor for the ensuing three months.LICENSES.The Assessment By-law.After routine business iad been disposed of the by-law on taxes was considered.The first section of the by-law reads as follows :\u2014 \u201cAn assessment of 1 per cent.per an- num is imposed on all taxable immovables situated within the limits of the City of Montreal, to wit : \u201cOn all lands, buildings erected thereon, machinery and other property so fixed or related to any building or land as to form part thereof; \u201cOn all pipes, poles, wires, rails, tunnels and other constructions and apparatus of every nature used in connection with the generation or distribution of power, light, heat, water, electricity, or for traction purposes, whether any of the same be constructed or placed npon, over, or under property.sireets, hichways, or elsewhere within the limits of the citv.\u201cSuch assessment is based on the as- ceased value of said smmovables, and constitutes a charze upon the same.and the owners are personally liable therefor.\u201d Ald.Stevenson opened the discussion by asking for a definition of the word \u2018\u201cmachinery.\u201d The Mavor replied that the meaning of the charter must be the meaning of the Civil Code.A numher of decisions had een given in the courts in recent years, which settled the point.Boilers, engines and shaftings were, under the law, immovable.The same class of machinery would fall under the section under considera- ion.Ald.Sadler remarked that as he understood the.decisions of the court any machinery of this class that belonged to proprietors of the buildings could be taxed.Ald.Ames Attempts to Define the Law.Ald.Ames offered the following amendment, to be added to the section under consideration : \u201cIn making the valuation of any mil or manufactory, or building erecte® or used for any such purpose, the assessors shall not take into account the value of > A wreck at sea is not the only place where a life line is of importance.There is a life line for the sick, as well as for the drowning man.It is Dr.Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.It is not a cure-all, but it is a scientific medicine that goes to the fountain head of a number of serious and fatal diseases.When a man gets seriously sick, he can generally be cured by the right course of treatment.The treatment that cures many obstinate chronic diseases consists of pure air, good food, rational exercise, and the use of a remedy that will strengthen the weak stomach, correct the impaired digestion, invigorate the liver and promote the assimilation of the live.giving elements of the food.The \u2018\u2018Golden Medical Discovery\u2019 accomplishes all these things.\u2018* A young man lg pale and motionless upon (what deighbors called) his dying bed.Disease of thelungs.liver complaint, kidney trouble, and plearisy were fast hastening him to the grave.he déctors had given him up to die.Tre neighbors said, \u2018he cannot lve.) \u2018Oh, I would not care to die,\u2019 he said, \u2018 were it not for leaving my dear wiie and little child, but I know that I must die\u2019 A brother had presented him with thee bottles of medicine, but he had no faith in \u2018 patent medicines\u2019; but, after the doctors had

tiins:.-.on of motive power.\u201d Ald.Btausolen decared that the amend- Men cou.d n°1 ve wlopted by Council, as it was legal.The charter, à statute ol the province, stated that machinery must be taxed one per cent, and the Council had no power to add to, taxe Irom, or alter in apy Way Lhat statute.Ne:ther had the Council any power to decide wi.t in:crpret.tivon shou:d be placed upon the low.That power rested with the courts.The Counuil could not amend the law; its duty wus to obey it.The law said that machinery must be taxed, and the Council could not say that only a part of macainery should be assessed.Une part could not be taxed and the other part exempted.\u2018Lhe amendum-at, he held, Was entirely out of order and aheol:tely illegal.Ald.Martineau upheld the opinion «:- pressed by Ald.Beuusoleil.Neither \u2018he Council nur the Assessors could chan the law.it did not belong to the Counc:1 to muke the law, nor was it legal for the Council to interpret it.Ald.Ames\u2019 con tention amounted to this, that the Assessors would tax one part of property and not another one.They would tax shed or three-storey buildings and not two-storey ones.Council had no discretion and he bad no hesitation in saying that the amendment was illegal.Ald, Sad'er said that Ald.Ames\u2019 amendment wus in accordance with the wishes i of the manufacturers, who were anxious to have the meaning defined and the uncertainty removed.Out of Order and Illegal.The Mayor recognized.he said, the importance or the point of order raised by Ald.Ames.But his task was easy, 3 the point had already been decided.The law, as contained in the charter, wos cxactly the same as the Ontario law, wuten had been in force A nunsoer of Years and had \u2018been declared by the courts to be sound.No attempt to define the meaning of the law had ever Deen made by the Council of Toronto, simply because they had no rignt to do so.Any attempt to interfere with the law by introducing definitions would be sure to create conflict.\u2018The section must be interprited by the courts and not by the Council.He had no hesitation in saying that the amendment was illegal and out of order.Ald.Beausoleil said the question was very simple.A tax was to be imposed only on machivery placed in a factory by the proprietor and to be used literally as immovable property.Such would be boilers and other heavy machinery.But saws, or other light macl?nery, did not fall w®h- in the clause as machinery to be taxed.| Neither did any kind of machinery put in by tenants.Ald.Laporte advised the Council to interpret the clause in its broadest sense, and give as much as possible to manufacturers.Manufacturers in Montreal had an interest in Montreal, and the city should take a great interest in them to prevent them from entertaining any idea of going to other centres where the offer of a bonus would be an incentive.Trying to Get it Another Way.Ald.Stevenson asked if a motion could not be passed instructing the assessors to apply the law in such a manner that it would not place the Montreal manufacturers at a disadvantage as compared with the manufacturers of other cities.The Mayor could not see that such a resolution would be any more legal than Ald.Ames\u2019 amendment.Ald.Sadler contended that the Toronto law contained definitions, but on readinz is he found that the only clause of that character was one exempting movables from taxation.He favored Ald.Steven- ecn\u2019s idea of giving instructions to the as- fessors to give a certain interpretation of the law.Ald.Beausoleil warned Council against any such action.The Council could not give the assessors any directions as to.interpretation or application of the Jaw.They must apply the law as they found it, and if they exceeded their powers it was for the civil courts to set them right.~The Mayor reminded Council that anv interference with the law would make the whole by-law illegal.They should be very careful not to commit any illegality and thereby destroy the value of the bylaw and deprive the city temporarily of the power to raise revenue.Ald.Ames adked if, at a subsequent meeting of Council, thev could pass a resolution giving instructions to the Assessors to follow a certain course with reference to the taxation of machinery.The Mayor replied that he would not like to have anvthing done without the opinion of the City Attornevs, The clause finally passed at it stood, Ald, Stevenson, Turner, Lareau, Gallery, Roy and Wilson voting in the negative.Peddler\u2019s Licenses Discussed.All went smoothly then until the nro- posed tax on peddlers was reached.A petition from grocers, butchers, and fruiterers had Leen receive asking for the prohibition of peddling.the Police Committee the request of the petitioners.\u2018The hy- law proposed the following license fees: Feddlers .oii $50 Public vendors, itinerant traders, hucksters and hawkers on foot .10 do.with hand vehicle .20 do.with vehicle drawn by a horse.2° Ald.Marsolais and Jacques moved in strike out these clauses and prohibit ped- d.ing.The Mayor referred to the sections of the charter which were thought to apply.Section 11 gives the city power to regulate or prohibit sales of merchandise upon the public streets, squares or walks or other public places.Another section gives the power to regulate and license peddling, among other things.He was of the opinion that the charter did not give the city power to prohibit peddling.Ald.Stevenson\u2014 hen, it would be much better to license them., Ald.McBride\u2014That\u2019s right.If we don\u2019t license them they\u2019il peddle just the same, and we'll get no revenue from them.\u201d Ald.\u201d Turner\u2014 \"The police could stop them.\u201d > Ald.MoBride\u2014\u201cPolice ?Of Montreal?Ald.Laporte gave notice of a by-law for the exercise of the full powers of proni- bition contained in section eleven.In the meantime the city could refrain from issuing licenses.The Mayor favored this plan.Until the by-law was passed or licenses issued the peddlers would be working under the old by-law, and therefore could not carry on \u2018their business.Ald.Sadler\u2014\"Who\u2019ll stop them?\u201d The Mayor\u2014\u201cThe police.\u201d Ald.Sadler\u2014\u201cOh ! I'm sure the citizens will be pleased to hear that their police will do something.\u201d After further discussion it was resolved to allow the by-law to pass with the li- censc charges quoted above included, and to introduce a proh:bitory by-law, if possible, at a later meeting.Milkmen and Dakers Get a Reduction.On motion of Ald.Turner, the license fee to be exacted of milkmen and bakers was reduced from $10 to $3.Ald.Sadler and Xkers wanted the licence fee to street musicians reduced from 50 to £10.The English members of Coun- vil present all voted for the reduction, and they were supported by Ald.Paquette and Dufresne, but the other French members present voted for the larger amount, and carried their point.The by-law was given the second and third readings and finally passed.The Routine Business.The ladies\u2019 petition about clcaning the streets was referred to the Board of Health, A letter was read from Mr.J.P.He- hert, recretary of the Ste.Cunegonde Ci:y Council, stating that the Street Railway intended running its line on Atwater avenue, for the connection of St.Antoine with St.James street.The Road Committee's report granting the Belt Line Railway Company leave to run its track and transport passengers from Duquette street is far as the Dominion Cotton Mills, was also continued to the next meeting.Ald.Sadler objected to this posipone- SITUATIONS VACANT, WANTED\u2014First class coat and shirt enakers, w work oi SET Macdnes, Robert C.Wilkins, 198 Mond: street.= { | WANTED\u2014Immed/ate:y, fir>t-clees dress and Caiherine 11.@.ru bands.Any did StL an.WANTEDAt once, for railway office, young Evhi.cIMAi bleUVETapaur aud LUponr.ier, Apply w Box H is, Herald, giv.:.Z rofer- cued, raw of epoved a: shorlaaud and LYpCRTLILE, and Gary expected.Jet WANTED\u2014Youth with eome experience in shorthand, a.so use Remington tpewrit- er.Apply, stating sa.ary expenwied, P.O., bux 43%.JOR WANTED\u2014General servaint, must sleep at JOHN M.M.| FF home.Apply 4182 St.Catuerine sireet.lus WANTED\u2014First class carpet sewer.Apply at ounce to James A.Ogilvy & Sous, 119 | WANTIED\u2014A youmg girl as general servant.Apply, with reference, at 19 St.Mark st.111* WANTED\u2014Canvasser for the Empire Typewriter, séalury and commiss on, apply stating qualification ani experience.to Box 2424 General Post Office.08 WANTED\u2014Boy to learn the lithographic engraving, one artistically inciined preferred.Apply to J.L.Saneaton, 1784 Noire Dame street.108 WANTED\u2014Hall Porter, accustamed to telephone and speaking French and English preferred;

Energy.PERMANENT CORPS Mr.Charlton Would legislate so That Members Cannot be so Long-winded, \u2014 THE PACIFIC CABLE QUESTION \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Ottawa, May 9.\u2014(Special.)-\u2014For once private members\u2019 day was not a dull and uneventful one, but some half dozen subjects were under discussion, and the sitting was a late one yesterday.Lt.-Col.Sam Hughes enlisted the sympathy of the House in a plea for pensions for the permanent corps, and received a satisfactory assurance from ihe Minister oË Militia.Then Sir Charles Tupper renewed Lis attack on Lcrd Aberdeen apropos ot the refusal of the late Governor-General to sanction a number of the appointments made by his discredited Government.He wanted to get a copy of the despatch in which Mr.Chamberlain endorsed the action of His Excellency, and was really quite subdued snd moderate in tone and manner in making his demand.But when Sir Wilfrid Laurier declined to do what was contrary to all rules, and make public a secret stale despatch, the leader of the Opposition grew abusive and became himself, winding up with a threat to carry his grievance to Westminster.Mr.Charlton opened up a very interesting field for aebate when he drew attention to the increneing deterioration of Parliamentary debate and the necessity for finding a cure while the Parliament of Canada was still but a small body to what it will one day be.He particularly drew attention to the wearisome length of speeches, padded out with extracts, which has become so common of late years.The few members who spoke on the question admitted the evil, but favored leaving the cure to the good sense of members rather than adopting any rule for the limitation of speeches.Mr.Richardson had been waiting all day for a chance to speak on one of ins motions, but did not succeed until shortly before adjournment.lle wishes to have a commission anpointed to ascertain if the Canadian Pacific Railway is not paying more than ten per cent.on the capital which was actually put into the road, in which case the Government is entitled to demand a reduction of to!l-.As this touches the transportation problen in which all the western members aie interested, the debate was left over ull Wednesday, so as to give them an opportunity to express their views.Mr.McInnes introduced a hill! to amend the Criminal Code, section 525, so as to make it an indictable offence ior capitalists or the clergy to intimidate electors.The section already forbids inti dation by trade or labor.Catching of Herring Bait.Mr.Borden (Halifax) asked if the Government had any information about a matter referred to some time ago, the rumored refusal of the Newfoundland Government to allow the catching of herring bait within certain limits in March and April.The Minister of Marine and Fisheries replied that he had learned nothing more.The Government had, however, forwarded representations to the Newfoundland Government asking for definite information as to the matter.Drummond County Purchase.Sir Charles Tunper asked if it was proposed to proceed with the Drummond County resolution to-day, because there were some papers moved for which were absolutely necessary, as showing the past working expenses and receipts of the line.\u2018Ine Minister of Railways promised to furnish a statement of the earnings and expenditures of the whole road from the end of the last fiscal year to date before the debate was entered upon.\"The Pacific Cable.The Premier laid on the table additional papers in connection with the Pacific cable and the report of the Imperial commission.Mr.Morrison (New Westminster) asked if the Government had received any communication frcm the Government of British Columbia regarding this matter.Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2014A communication has been received from the Government ot British Columbia, of which the public has notice, to the effect that the Government offers to contribute one-ninth of ihe cost of the cable.Mr.Morrison asked if any similar communications had been received from other provinces, to which the Premier replied in the negative.Bills and Questions.Several private bills were read a se- ond time, and the following bills were \u2014 t gr - 3 SICK HEADACHE Positively cured by these Little Pills, \u201d They also relieve Distress from Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Too Hearty Eating.A perfect

(Mr.Ma- louin); respecting the Canadian Railway Accident lnsurance Co.tMr.Belcourt); respecting the Home Life Association of Canada (Mr.Macdonald, Huron).The Minister of Militia explained that he did not know the cause of the delay in the reception of the Canada service medal, which is being struck at the Royal Mint.The Board of Claims, which is sitting every week day, conrists of the adjutant- eneral, president: Lieut.-Col.Cotton, Lieut Col.Vidal, Major Rivers and Captain Wurtele.Replying to Mr.Robert- gon, the Minister stated that the Canadian volunteers organized in Chicago in May, 1866, and who arrived in Toronto on June 4th following, would be entitled to Fenian Raid medals if they came under the regulations.Must Rely on His Own Efforts.Sir Hibbert Tupper asked if Mr.Wil- ham Ogilvie was a connection by marriage with the Minister of the Interior.Hon.Mr.Sifton\u2014I have already stated that Mr.Ogilvie is no relative of mine.If the honorable gentleman desires to maka more extended or minute researches into my genealogical tree he will have to rely on his own efforts.(Government applause and laughter).Stamping of Food Packages.Mr.Ellis (St.John) asked if it was the intention of the Government to introduce legislation at this session requiring that ermetically sealed packages of food solu in Canada shall have the weight marked upon them legibly.The Minister of Inland Revenue replied in the negative.In 1834 an amendment was made to the Inspection Act directly in this line, but it was found to be \u201cn- workable, and the section was 1epealed the following year.Seventeen orders were passed for papars and returns, mostly of little particular interest to the public.MILITARY PENSIONS, Lieut.-Col.Hughes Proposes a Fund for the Officers and Men of Permanent Force.T.ieut.-Col.Hughes (\u201cNorth Victoria) moved, \u201cThat in the opinion of this House a pension system should be established for officers and men of the Canadian perti.anent corps, and of the headquarters nnd district staff who are not under the Civil Service Act.\u201d In doing so Lieut.-Col.Hughes pointed out that the pay of officers in the permanent force was not as large as that paid in the Dritim and American armies, and the necessary expenditures incident to their posi- {ion rendered it impossible: for them to save anything.In both the countries mentioned officers were pensioned.A pension system would have the effect oi making a decided improvement in the permanent force.That there was something unsatisfactory in the conditions under which the permanent force served wus shown, to his mind, in the fact that in five years there were 874 descrtions.Lieut.-Col.Hughes referred to ihe retirement, on gratuity of Lieut.-Col.Smith, of Y.ondon, and the approaching retirement under the age limit of Lieut.-Col.Otter, of Toronto.In both cases the gratuities to which these officers were entitled was not commensurate, to bis idea, with their services to their country.Mr.Casey (West Elgin) supported the resolution in a speech which was highly anpreciative of the work of the permanent corps.In passing he paid a warm tribute to the military qualities of Captain Gir- ouard, R.F., who is at present in charge of the railway running southward from Wady Halfa towards Khartoum.and wivh- ed there were many more like him in the Canadian force.If the provisions were more liberal it might be possible to retain men like Him._ Lieut.-Col.Prior (Victoria, B.C.,) also spoke in favor of the adoption of a pension system, : The Minister of Militia had listened with pleasure to the speec®es, and for himself agreed with almost everything said.If the Governinent was to give pensions there was no body of men who deserved pension or superannuation as did those who risked their lives in their country\u2019s service.He thought a distinction should be made between the short service men and those who made soldiering their life-work, being unfitted for other pursuits when they retired after their full term was completed.He could not see why any distinction should be made between the officers and men of the permanent force and those of the Mounted Police, who were pensioned or surerannuated.While Canada had no standing army and wanted none, yet the 800 men in its permanent corps afforded a school for the education of the militia.On the subiect of the age limit the Minister of Militia stated that sixty years had been found to be the average age at which military officers were useful.He admitted that this entailed hardships on officers and men, whose pay did not permit of their putting by anv money against the future, and it was desirable that some meana might he provided for pensioning them.He had not been able to solve the ques tion vet, hut hoped at an early date to have a plan matured which he could submit to his colleagues, and that next seg- sion he would be able to bring it before Parliament.Tt might be possible to create a fund by a small contribution from each man, which would entail but a small additional charge on the Government.Sir Charles Tupper thought the time was close when something would have to be done to make the service of Canada in the permanent force more attractive, and considered that the system of land grants would be in every way an admirable one.Lt.-Col.Hughes withdrew his motion, it having served its purpose of giving an opportunity for the debate.AN OLD GRIEVANCE.Sir Charles Tupper Still Bears a Grudge Against Lord Aberdeen.Sir Charles Tupper aired an old grievance of his in moving for all cablegrams, papers, correspondence and despatches or other writing upon which the Prime Minister {based the following statement in the House of Commons on the 10th June, 1898 : \u201cI have the authority of the Secretary of State for the Colonies to state that he approves of the principles on which the Governor-General acted, as based on tlie facts set forth in the letter of His Excellency to Sir Charles Tupper.\u201d His object was to bring up the question of the refusal of Lord Aberdeen to sanction the appointments made by the late Government after its defeat.He argued that this was very different from the action of Lord Dufferin in passing the appointments made by the Mackenzie Administration after its defeat.He further argued that the latter was the constitutional course, and he quoted voluminously from linglish statesmen in proof of a contention that defeated Governments had a right to advise the Crown to make appointments.Other authorities were quoted in support of a second constitutional point that when a Minister quoted from a state document he was bound to lay it upon the table.Sir Charles said he could not believe Mr.Chamberlain would give his approval to an entire change in the constitutional rights of Canada, and it was of the gravest importance to have the despatch.The Colonial Office Despatch.Sir Wilfrid Laarier replied after recess.The motion would be complied with, so far as the well-known rules of the Colonial Office allowed.The leader of the Opposition had once more asserted that Lord Aberdeen had gone beyond his powers and shocked well-understood rules of responsible government, but his own contention, in which he was supported by the public opinion of the country, was that the late Governor-General was absolutely constitutional on the occasion in question, and that the one who had acted unconstitutionally was the honorable gentleman himself.Jf the advice which that gentleman tendered to the Crown had been followed it would have been a clear, manifest and violent invasion of the will of the people just expressed | at the polls, Although the honorable -an argument part of a despatch wieh he gentleman, two days after the election, eclared his intention of clearing up routine business and reigning, he presumed tc give advice ty His Excellency on important matters, including several appointments.His Excellency laid down the rule that he would accept advice upon 10utine matters of Government, but that upon everything which went beyond that he would not accept the advice of the tonorable gentleman's administration.The honorable gentleman having lost the con- hdence of the jeople.lost the right to advise the Crown.\u2018lhe controversy was referred to the Colonial Office.and on August 16, 1896, M.Chamberlain sent out a despatch to Lord Aberdeen.\u2018l'his was a secret despatch, net for the pub- Le, and Mr.Chamberlain refused to allow its publication, but as intimated in the speech referred to in the resolution, he ultimately agreed to the purport ot the third paragraph being made known.In this paragraph Mr.Enamberiam expressed his approval of the »rinciples stated in Lord Aberdeen\u2019s memo.of the 8th July as those upon which his action in the maiter was based, but in exjsress- ing his approval cf these principles, Le observed that their application was à matter for the discretion of the Governor- General, whose duty it should be to decline tc act on any recommendations which, in his opinion, did not comply with the principles so laid down.Nothing could be clearer.Lord Aberdeen stated the principles upon which he declined to receive the advice of the then Prme Minister.Mr.Chamberlain approved of those principles, and stated further that it was ir the discretion of ihe Governor-Gen- eral to determine whether or not the advice tendered him was in compliance with, or in defiance of, or contrary to, those principles.It seemed to him, Sir Wilfrid went on, that the controversy was at an end.The hon.gentleman had statea that he would be much surprised indeed to learn that such an authority as Mr.Chamiberlain had sanctioned the action of Lge late Governor-General.He was surprised at the surprise of that hon.gentleman, who, if he reflected, would know that in his advice to the late Governor- General it was he who was altogether at variance with the well-understoud principles of responsible government.The hon.gentleman had lost the confidence of the people and therefore had no right to tender any advice to His Excellency.The hon.gentleman argued that the Gov- crnor-General could not know that his advisers had been defeated until there was n vote in the House, but that wouid have besn assuminz that the Governor- General hod not the information which everyone possessed.Sir Charles Tupper\u2019's Threat.Sir Charles Tupper returned to the charge as soon ax the Premier had sat down, and worked himself up into a condition of great warmth.He declared that the Premier stood condemned tor violating what was approved by the highest authority :n the Empire when he used as refused to lay on the table.Not oniy did Le want that despatch, but the coui- munication from Lord Aberdeen which elicited that secret despatch, and the subsequent aulhority to use part of it.\\Vitn the precedent befcre him of the demand made upon Lord Dufferin by the Mackenzie Government, how dare the Premicr lend his countenance to a statement that what was right in that case vus not t1ght when dem«nded of Lord Aberdeen by his (Sir Charles\u2019) Government?Continuing, Sir Charles said: \u201cLl will not rest uni! this agitation reaches a higher and more competent assemblage than this, and we have learned whether the Parliament of England will ratify, and take away from tins great Dominion that inestimable right we have of being enabled to mould our Parliament, institutions and political institutions upon that great model which all parties, Conservative and Liberal, have placed on such a high eminence.\u201d The motion was agreed to.The Case of Thomas Meagher.Mr.M.K.Cowan (South Essex) moved for papers in order to draw attention to the case of Thoraas Meagher, who, as wih be remembered, was arrested on Canadian territory on the St.Clair river by a United States deputy collector of customs, treated with great indignity, and not re- lezsed until he had been in gaol for several days, and only on the intervention ot the Imperial and Canadian Governments.Mr.Cowan read :a number of aifidavits in the case in order to put it before the House, and asked that the Government demand reparation.Not only this, but he would ask that the Attorney-General oz Ontario be asked to apply for the extradition of Avery, the offending official, for if ever there was a case that came within the laws against kidnapping it was this, The Solicitor-General promised the papers, which would satisfy Mr.Cowan that the United States authorities had come to the conclusion that the arrest was perfectly unjustifiable, and that Avery had been dismissed.CLOTURE HINTED AT.Members Agree That Long Speeches Are an Evil Requiring Prompt Remedy.Great benefit is

rights of the minority, and the ger eral interests of the public; and report its recommendations to this House.\u201d He confessed that he himself was not free from blame in past times, and therefore he might be permitted to move such a resolution.In view of the great nation which the Canadian Parliament would have to legislate for in a not far distant future, it was necessary that something sl ould be done now to limit the time devoted to speeches.i The length of a speech might aetract fiom the power of a speaker.\u2018ihe man who spent time in concenirating his thought, getting rid of superfiuous language, putiing his speech into logical torm, ~aving the time of his hearers by giving them the substance without verbiage, was the man who would be heard.\u201cThe average reader wanted his political pabulum in a short form.Speeches were delivered in that House which met with no responsive feeling among the members, elicited no interest in the country, and were as much buried in the pages of Hansard as Egyptian mummies, The style of Parliamentary debate had changed greatly since the first two Par- liamente, from i868 to 1878, and even later, when debate was of a far higher order than to-dav.Many members would remember how effective had been the speech delivered by Hon.Edward Blake at the close of the Franchise Act debate, when he spoke for mine minutes only.Tuen speakers addressed themselves to the House and country; now too often the speeches were made to Hansard, and if they ever reached the people at «ll it was through copies printed at the Government Dureau.The j ractice of long speeches also lengthened out the session of Parliament.Mr.Charl- ton did not favor the cloture, but some rales would have to be adopted to regulate debale, or some day it might be found necessary to abolish Hansard.I'he plan adopted by the American Congress of having members hand in their MXN, to the editor of the Record might be thought advisable, or else the formulation of rules of debate.Mr.Britton (King~ton}, who was in favor of the resolution, condemned the practice of which some members were guilty of jumping up to speak on every possible occasion.Blames the Newspapers.Mr.T.D.Craig (East Durham) thought the newspapers were to blame for long speeches being delivered, by giving lengthy reports of lonz speeches and short reports or a mere mention of short sneeches.If long speeches were given a shert report, and short speeches a good report, he thought it would have a pond effect.Instead of making rules it might be better to trust to the good «ense of the members.Now that the subject had heen Tronght to the attention of the House it might result in a cure.Dr.Macdonald (East Huron) was greeted with a good deal of laughter when he got un and admitted that he was one of the sinners.But in self-defence he pointed out that while he made long speeches, he spoke very seldom, and considered that the man who made a few long speeches was not as great a nuisance as the man who made many short speech- cs.Tle would wager a £F0 note that Mr.(Craig's short speeclies amounted to three times as great in length as those of long speakers.And eton was rather guilty of speaking frequently.Lt.-Col.Tisdale (South Norfolk) feared darger tn national institutions if the Opposition had its expression of opinion controlled.Mr.Clancy (Bothwell) thought it would be beneath the dignity of the House to appoint a committee to lay down how long members should speak.Sir Wiifrid\u2019s Opinion.The Premier said there seemed to be a general opinion that long speeches were a growing evil, with which he agreed, but he did not think there was any remedy in law against such evils.The only Mr.Charlton (Norfolk) secured the ! floor next for a discussion of his resolu- : tion in favor of some means of restrictinz | the lenzth oi speeches and the wearisome | reading of extracts.good-natured cheers as he rose to move the following resolution :\u2014\u201cThat the prevailing practice of delivering in the Canadian House of Commons speeches of great length, embracing voluminous and often irrelevant extracts, has introduced a dis- curs,ve and diffuse, rather than a concise | aud incisive style of public speaking; 15 | destructive of pertinent debate upon pub- | lic questions, is a waste of valuable time, | unreasonably lengthens the sessions of | Parliament; is in marked contrast to the | i 1 practice that prevails with rezard to debate in the British House of Commons, and tends to repel the public from a careful'and intelligent consideration of the proceedings of Parliament; that it is expedient that rules be adopted laniting the length: of speeches, and regulating the general conduct of debate in that regard; that a special committee should be formed to consider of the question of parliamentary debate, length of speeches, general conduct of debate, and proper methods for securing the greatest promptitude in the de- CRYING FOR HELP, Lots of

promises (1 pay whiea he expect:d would be perpetu- | | ally renewuble, \u2014reeee MR.FOSTAR'S FALSE CHARGE.Speaking at Surnia, & little time ago, Mr.Foster made a statement concerning Mr.Paterson, Minister of Customs, which al who read the reports of the House oi Commons debates will have seen that he was obliged to withdraw at Mr.Paterson's de- i mand.Speaking on platforms in the ab.| cence of the person attacked, is, as Mr.| Foster has found, a different matter froin i facing that man on the foor of l\u2019arlia- ment.\u2018The ex-Minister of Finance doubtless raised a Conscrvative cheer when, at Sarnia, he trapugned the honesty of a man whose reputation has been free from cven the suspicion of seli-seeking, not to speak of wrongdoing.The charge was that Mr.Paterson, being principally responsible, by reason of his position in the Cabinet, for the arrangement of the new tariff, hal used his influence to have the sugar used in his large confectionery business reduced while he had the duty on the finished product of that business increased.The charge is so serious, affecting, as it does, the honor and integrity of a man who has held a high place ia Canadian puthe life for many years, that it might hase been expected so prominent a person as the former Minis\u201cer of Finance would have made Limself sure of his facts befvre making his statement.To Mr.Foster's discredit it has to be raid toit he was not thus careful, his Sarnia speech con veying, on the contrary, an impression the very reverse of that warranted by tha fects.The duty on refined sugar when Mr.Foster left power was $1.14 a hundred.The Liberals reduced the duty to $1.0% a hundred.The duty on sweetened biscuits was then 27 1-2 per cent.It is the same now.Mr.Foster, without taking the trouble to assure himself of the tacts, assumed that the old duty was 25 per cent.and that it had been raised to 27 1-2.He was wrong, and he should have had 1e- spect enough for the responsibilities of public speaking to have learned the truth before bringing the charge he did against a Minister of the Crown.It is true the reason for his mistake seems to lie in the fact that he could not keep track of the changes in the tariff made while he himself was Finance Minister, but that is a very poor excuse.Moreover, because of the excessive cheapness of sugar in England and the cnormous development of the confectionery industry there, the chief competition to Canadian goods comes from that quarter, so that the duty of 27 1-2 per cent.is subject to a reduction of one-fourth.There has, therefore, been a reduction of 25 per cent, in the protection on sweet ened biscuits, and only a 12 per cent.reduction in the duty on the sugar used in making the biscuits.Mr.Foster admitted \u2018his error on Friday, but there are many people whose opinion mav have been formed by his declaration at Sarnia.Mr.Paterson's reputation as a public.man has always been found unassailable by his opponents, but most of those who have attempted to impugn it in the past were but second or third-rate politicians.Mr.Foster ought to have been looked to to uphold the dignity of public life in stead of making an utterly unjustifiable attack upon an irreproachable opponent.\u2014_\u2014 ss THE DUTIES ON BRITISH IMPORTS The most significant, and in some respects the most interesting, declaration made during the recent debate on the budget was a remark by Sir Richard Cartwright regarding the duties on Brit- ih imports : \u201c1 do not say that we have got down, in the matter of British goods, absolutely to a revenue tariff, but we have come exceedingly close to it, and I break no secrels of office when I intimate that the tariff now imposed by us in 1898 on these British goods is, in its actual results, almost identical with that which I wanted to propose in 1876 myself.\u201d Sir Richard gave a hint last year that this was the fact, but he was not then in à position to demonstrate the proposition.The trade returns for the first year of the preferential tariff do, however, bear out the claim, and Sir Richard favored the House with a very interesting calculation: \u201cAs everybody knows, the preferential tarifi has nothing to do with the duties on spirits and wines; and I propose to deduct those from the importations ot 1698, and I propose further to apply the preferential tariff as it is now applied to the importations, and we will then see what the real and full effect of our preferential tariff is likely to be.Sir, in 1898 we imported, in round numbers, $22,556,000 of dutiable goods from Great Britain, and on these we collected 6,649,000 of duty.In that ave include a quantity of spirits amounting to about $600,000, on which there was a duly of $885,000.Deducting those, we find that the dutiable goods imported amounted as nearly ag possible to $22,000,000 in round numbers, on which there was a duty, less the 12 1-2 per cent, of 85,764,000.Now, nobody can deny that to get the true effect of the preferential tariff you must deduct the other 1?1-2 per cent., which would be deducted to-day if these goods were imported, and you will find if you do that on this $22,000,000 werth of goods we would have levied a tax of $4,941,000.Sir, the result of that is this, that on the dutiable goods, less spirits and wine, which we imported from England in 1898, our present tariff barely averages 22 1-4 per cent., as against 28 per cent.which was levied in 1888; and 1 may add as azainst the 19 per cent.which was levied under my own tari® tn 1878.\u201d Considering that the goods imported from England are principally textiles and cther articles entering directly into everyday consumption, it is difficult, on this showing, to see what comfort one Conservative can get out of the statement that the protective policy of the Conservatives is still in force, what comfort a second can get out of the statement that there has been no reform of the tariff, or a third out of the statement that there has been no preference to Great Britain.From 25 per cent.to 22 per cent.is a long stride in the direction of a revenue tariff.eZ On the principle that straws show how the wind blows, Mr.Foster\u2019s declaration that he willingly forezoes the toils of offi- meaning, will have a good effect.We do not know that economy and ' The loss for the first year of working\u2014

PRESENT At noon to-day Mr.A.E.Poirier and Dr.R.Stanley Weir were sworn in as Recorders for the city of Montreal by Chief Justice Sir Alexander Lacoste.The Recorder's \u2018Court, in whiah the ceremony took place, was crowded with members ot the bat, civic ofliciais and other triends oi the reuring Recorder, as well as ot the new maglstraites.Sharp at 12 o'clock tie principass entered the court, Ex-Itecorder De Monugny had appar- enuly great difliculty in taking his seat, and hau to be assisted.Lhe high esteem in which he is heid was manuested by the applause which greeted him.On the upper

retiring Recorder made a touching address, in which he referred to the cose relation he had ever had with the Bar.\u2018The presence of Sir Alexandre Lacoste was.tor him the reminder of a day, thirty years ago, when he had stood tor him, sponsor at lis marriage.To-day again the Chief Justice stood for him at the altar, but at the altar of sacrifice.He couid not find expression for the emotion that filled his heart, and he would therefore say but a few words.He could not close his duties, however, without publicly acknowledging the pleasure he had found in the intercourse with the people with whom he had come in contact daily.Chief of Police Hughes, he said, was his personal friend.In him he had found a helper in the good cause of reform.One whom he could not forget, and who deserved the cordial aid of all classes of the people, was Mme.Lajeu- nesse, the police matron.He would ask one favor of the Chief of Police for her, and that was that she be named a lieutenant.Her work in the cause of charity deserved it.Sir Alexander Lacoste, in a few words, expressed the regret the judiciary would feel on losing Mr.DeMontigny.Recorder Poirier said a few words.He Telt sure he voiced his colleague\u2019s sentiments also when he said they would ever .endeavor to fulfill their duty as ably as had the retiring Recorder, Mr.DeMon- ticnv.Their conduct would be guided by three principles\u2014the law, the city by-laws and their allejiance.They would help the police to their utmost capacity, and in a word endeavor to justify the confidence reposed in them by the Government and bv the neonle.Recorder Weir followed in Enzlish.He said he corroborated the expressions ot Mr.Poirier.Tt was the first time that one of his religion and language had been elevated to the Recordership.[i would be his duty to show his appreciation ot the Government\u2019s choice of him as Recorder.Clerk Forget then read an address on be- Lalli of the employes of the Rezorder\u2019s Court expressing their heartfelt sorrow at Mr.DeMontigny\u2019s departure.Spe=ches were also made by the Mayor, who paid a tribute to the retiring Recorder and wel comend the new ones, and by Mr.St,

Worship, Mayor Prefontaine, Hon.J.ki.Robidoux, Provincial Secretary, a number of aldermen, and a delegation of ladies representing the Local Council of Women, gathered in the Mayor's chambers yesterday afternoon and listened to an address by Mr.J.J.Kelso, superintendent of neglected children in Ontario.Mr.Kelso explained at some length the Ontario law under which the Children's A of that province works, Although the work had been carried on only a few years, he said, the number of children in industrial schools, reformator- les, and other refuges had greatly decreased.| he society had been organized because they had found that with their ex- pcrSswe system of reformatories and schools they were not doing the work.Through the work of the society, the annual cost to Toronto of maintaining boys and girls In Institutions of refuge and correction had been reduced from $13,000 to $6,000, they worked on the principle that it was better for the state, the community and the child that boys and girls should be placed in homes as early as possible instead of maintaining them in institutions for a term of years.By their method of working, hundreds of young boys and girls that otherwise would have swelled the criminal classes, were saved to society and trained Into good citizenship.\u2018I'he Ontario society had placed over one thoasand children in five years.The annual cost to the Ontario Government was about $4,000.The City of Loronto contributed $3.500 a year tewards the maintenance of the temporary shelter home in that city._ They never allowed a child to go to Jail or to appear as a prisoner in the Police Court in Loronto.There they huve a st-ecial children\u2019s shelter, where the young are placed until it is decided whethey they shall be returned to their parents or sent to foster homes.It is a comparatively easy matter to place the little ones in private houses, as one finds many a family without children and ready to adopt an orphan.lhey had applications for more children than they could supply.Mr.Kelson suggested the formation of a children\u2019s aid society, in Montreal, composed of members of different charitable associations.He felt that the adoption of such a system would save to the city about $15,000 in three years.A perusal of our new city charter had convinced him that we possessed all the necessary rights to put the proposed pian in practice.lt would not be necessary to establish a shelter as in Toronto as existing institutions could be used for that purpose.; Mayor Prefontaine expressed his satis- f«ction with the address of Mr.Kelso and thanked him for the advice given.There certainly was a very large field for the wcrk in Montreal.He suggested that the matter be referred to the special committee of council appointed some time ago for the study of the question.This was agreed to.; oo Hon.J.E.Robidoux, provincial secretary, was at the function, as were also Ald.Ames, Ekers, Gagnon, Clearihue, Stevenson, Lareau, Paquette, and Du- tresne and Mr.F.L.Beique, Q.C._\u2014 TRYING TO FREE PONTON.\u2014\u2014 id Society onto, May 9.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Mr.E.aus Porter, counsel for W.H.Ponton, arrived in the city from Belleville last night.He says he is here to demand of the courts the carrying out of the decision of Mr.Justice Robertson at the time the venue was changed.In that decision it

Crown's witnesses, who were under their charge and for whom they were responsible.e PRESBYTERIANS ARE GATHERING, tr Montreal and Ottawa and Kingston and Toronto Synods Meet.| \u2014_\u2014\u2014 |

But after all baseball is a game full of resource, and wonders in it will neves cease.The next thing we will see Dan suddenty paralyzing the country from one end to the other by stealing a base.This is Dan's seventy-first consecutive year at baseball and he is good for eleven or twelve more.Dan, although he was in swaddling clothes, distinctly remembers when George Washington made a triple and two home runs against the Pritish forces, and incidentally states that George, who played shortstop, was only second to Frankie Shannon when it came to picking \u2019em up.Dan will appear in Mon{wal on the 24th and 25th of this month, and by special ax- rangement there will be no increase in the price of admission.Springfield, Mass, May 8\u2014Springfeld had an easy thing in Dugg'eby to-day, while Pappalau, though hit frequently, kept the safe ones well scattered.A triple play, with the bases full, in the fifth helped to keep the score down.Score: Dan Brouthers mixed up Springfield.A.B.R.1B.P.O.A.E.Jannon, ss.4 1 2 1 4& 1 Dolan, 1f.5 1 2 4 0 0 Brown, cf.2 2 4 1 0 Brouthers, 1b.5 2 2 7 2 0 Campbell, rf.4 1 2 0 0 1 Myers, 3b.\u2026 50602 3 0 0 Stuart, 2b.5 2 1 2 2 0 Phelps, c.4 1 2 5 3 0 Pappalau, p.4 0 0 1 1 0 Totals .\u2026.D 10 15 27 13 2 Montreal.AB.R.IB.PO.A.F.Schiebeck, 8.8.+ 0 1 4 4 0 T.Bannon, 1f.5 0 1 0 0 U Shearon, r.f.3 1 0 3 0 0 Johnson, 2b.4 0 1 1 5 0 Dooley, 1b.4 0 211 2 1 Henry, 3b.3 0 0 1 1 o Jacklitz, c.4 0 0 3 3 O C.Bannon, cf.4 0 3 3 0 1 Duggleby, p.3 0 2 1 0 0 Felix, p.s.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.1 0 060 0 1 O Totals .33 1 11 27 16 2 By innings\u2014 Springfield .su.020023300\u201410 Montreal .L.\u2026.\u2026.\u202600cseu0es 100000000\u2014 1 Summary.Stolen bases\u2014Shannon 2, Myers.Two- base hits \u2014 Shannon, Myers, Duggleby.First base on balls\u2014Off Pappalau 3;

London, April 26.\u2014Two \u201cPrimrose\u201d in- idents have occurred within the last few avs that have set all tongues wagging.| The first, of course, was Primrose Day, when the statues of the late Earl Beacons- field throughout England were elaborately | decorated with his favorite Hower, the\" primrose; and the other was the marriage | of Lady Peggy Primrose, Far] Roscbery\u2019s jaughter, to Lord Crewe.arly on Primrose Day the ranks of the lower girls on the public streets were largely increased, and the only button-hole bouguets offercd for sale were primroses.\u201cOnly a penny, only a penny,\u201d was the ery as a daintily tied bunch was pressed en vour attention.Costermongers, newsboys, street arabs, clerks, merchants, bankers and gentlemen, regardless of politics, decorated themselves with the prevailing color.The special circumstance of the day was the delivery of a speech on the glories of the Primrose eague in a few of the great centres by notable public men.\u2018Fhroush the aid of bands of music, crowls were gathered together near the statues of the great statesman.I had an opportunity of witnessing de l- =>.one of these crowds, and cculd not avoid being impressed with the conviction how impossible it is to galvanize iuto info the | bones of great men, more especially when he apparent object is not so much to do honor to the memory of the c¢ne who is gone, as to keep together the elements he may have formed into a party for the political aggrandizement of Ulisse he Yas left behind.If the spirit of life could have been breathed into the bronze statues, and that representation of Benjamin Disraeli could have seen the motley crowds gathered that evening, the most cynical look his expressive face ever manifested would scarcely hawe given a suitable index to his surprise.There were crowds, but not such as had frequently assembled to do him honor in his strangely eventful lifetime.Thousands are joining the Primrose Lee gue, it is said, but they will not show themselves on such occasions, nor cheer themselves hoarse while contemplating the facial expression of a bronze statue.The Wedding at Westminster.The marriage of Lady Peggy Primrose at Westminster brought out a vastly dif: fcrent class.There were necessarily many of the poorer classes, but they were lost in the innumerable company of fashionably attired of both sexes.All the early suburban trains were overcroweded with an army of the fair sex, who took up their positions in the vicinity of the Abbey until that great thoroughfare was simply an ocean of faces.No such enthusiasm was ever manifested here except in the case of royal marriages.Only a comparatively small number found admission to the scene of the ceremony, but they had the satisfaction of witnessing the equipages of non-appearance of the Queen's favor in the match, on account of a present not having been se Abby © .| Great Britain withcut wishing that in H g been 8 nt to the happy couple by every colony of the Empire bird life coul: er Majesty.There are those, in regard be secure.Instead of boys at every cross to whom there is no evidence that they are in the Queen's confidence, who say this is due to the well-known disfavor with which Her Majesty regards marriages where there is a great disparity between the ages of the contracting parties.Lord Crewe is 41 and Lady Peggy only 17.There is a very good joke being told at Lord Crewe\u2019s expense.It is needless to say that His Lordship is an ardent Liberal in polities.Shortly after his engagement with Lady Peggy Primrose was announced, he appeared on a political platform, and ha - ing occasion to say something about the activity then being shown by the Tory leaders in connection with the Primrose League, he incidentally remarked that he \u201chad no use for a Primrose League.\u201d \u2018The crowd roared with laughter, again and again renewed.He stood unconscious that he had perpetrated a joke.Failing to understand the cause of the merriment, he asked the chairman in a stage whisper for an explanation.The audience grasped the meaning of his enquiry, and became more uproarious than ever, as his face suddenly betrayed an intelligent view of the ridiculous situation.Since then he has had nothing to say about the l'rimrose League.\u201cDepot\u201d Arrangements Complete.If there is one thing the Englishman prides himself upon, in contrast, as he alleges with \u201cAmerican railways,\u201d it is the railway management and all things appertaining thereto.Well, one is foreed to the admission that in every respect he has just cause for satisfaction.The station arrangements are complete; the roadbeds are free from dust; the speed is better; trains start and stop with scarcely « perceptible jar or jolt; the rarrtazss are steadier, even when running fifty miles an hour reading can be enjnved without an effort; to the instant they pull out ot the station, and arrive at the appointed time, except on the occasion oï Easter or bank holidays, when the officials become thoroughly demoralized.The superintendents of the lines do mot seein to have fearned how to manage an unusual crowd.They do not understand how that is done on the other side of the Atlantic.And then in rezard to refreshment cars, or dining ears, F do not want to condemn al the lines, but I have had occasion to lunch on two of them, and I have made a solemn resolve that only sheer desneration will ever make me do it agiin.I partially came to the conclusion the first time, when I had a lunch served up with less care than would be given at any unorganized township-one-dollar-a-day hot2} in Canada.But I had to take a train carly one morning before breakfast, and bazame very hungry.Looking in the window of the refreshment car at a station where (he trains stopped for a few minutes, | noticed a card adorning the interior wherein it was stated Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York had dined on that line and had expressed themselves wonderfully pleased with the table supplies.I sat down at one of the tables.royalty and wealth and their fair occupants as they passed to and from the Abbey.The ovation received by Lord Rcsebery has set enquiries going as to whether it was incident to personal popularity.Probably everything that could be said has already been cabled to Canada upon the subject.It might not be out , of place to point out the contents of the \"note that accompanied the present from the Prince and Princess of Wales: \u201cWith best wishes for dear little Peggy\u2019s happiness,\u201d or a sentiment akin to that.People wonder at times at the popularity of the heir to the throne and his charming better half, but the expression \u201cdear little Peggy\u201d explains it all.The sweet woman, it is said, is always evident to the friend of the household.This is occasionally revealed to the populace, and thus arcther tie of sympathy and confidence is es 8 people.Attention is being drawn to the established between the throne and the The cloth spread before me must have been used for half a dozen previously.There were at least four larze dried coi- fee stains, black from the bottom of plates, spots on the butter, and dust floating on th= milk.The attendant cama along smelling much more stronaly vu toëmeco than of Pears\u2019 soap.As the train rushel along and I tried to enjoy my three-shil- ling breakfast, J asked him if he ever saw a Canadian dining car, and, as a matter of course, he did not know such conveniences existed there; so when I got through my meal I gave him an idea how things are run with us, and assured him that it such a cloth was put before any passenger on the Grand Trunk or Canadian Pacific the attendant would likely be ordered off at the next station by the conductor of the train.He looked as if he -vould like to tell me that I resembled \u201can old harp struck by lightning,\u201d which was explained by the late Daniel O\u2019Councll os meaning that the person in question was a \u201cbadly damaged lyre.\u201d Mr.Devlin Must Have a Rest.The information has been received at the office of the High

Ireland, has been ordered by his consulting physician to return to Canada for a season of absolute rest.Mr.Devlin\u2019s nervous system has succumbed, incident to the strain under which he has been placed in the discharge of his duties in Ireland.The Commissioner of Emigration has had no sinecure since his arrival on this side of the Atlantic.In the first place he met with very serious opposition by a section of the press allez- ing that the Manitoba school act had made it impossible for a Catholic to live in Canada and educate his family.Notwithstanding the prejudice thus existing against Mr.Devlin\u2019s work, it is only fair to say that the newspapers were singularly just in allowing the new commissioner a full opportunity to reply to the chzrees that they made against Canada.This Mr.Devlin was not slow in findinz out, so he immediately entered into a controversy with the assailing press.The consequence was that, in the course of a few months, it dawned on some of the attacking party that Mr.Devlin was getting exactly what he most desired\u2014a free advertisement for Conada\u2014and the attacks suddenly ceased.He then tried to arrange for a series ot lectures to fugyher his work, but in that he was at first not successful.However, by changing tactics and offering to ar- renge for lectures and limelight views ot Canada, without directly advising emigration, he succeeded finally in coverinz all the principal centres.fSomerines tlie lec- + Rule.the cause of Ireland's freedom, i.e., sup- pcrting the continued agitation for Home It will thus be seen that the

some of \u2018the trees grow on private property, others on the streets in cis, and not the elichtest attempt whatever is made Lo molest or disturb the mests or the birds.The consequence is that the air is filled with the love calls and singing of all manncr of winged life, and the fcathere:l songsters become at times extraordinarily indifferent to passers-by.Of how many placed in Canada can this be said?I am afraid that neither Montreal or Toronto can claim such exemplary boyhood to a marked extent.But there is in this experience in Fnzland an object lesson for Canadians.1 do not suggest for a moment that the Enz- lish lads are better than our own dear Canadian boys, but here they seem to have a greater regard for fields and trees and birds.There is a law here against the wanten destruction of birds, «nd all have been educated to observe this law with marked exactitude.There are similar enactments in Canada, but neither parents nor officers of the peace have inculcated that respect for it that is entertained in England.Glasgow's Exhibition.Glasgow is making great preparations for the Internat.onat exhibition of 1401.It may not be remembered that the one held there a few years ago was successful In every respect, and the iinancial returns after the settlement of all claims netted nearly fifty thousand pounds: It was re solved by the commission to devote the money to the erection of an art gullery in the largest park in the city.Subsequently the amount was supplemented by one lium] dred thousand pounds from the cerpora- tion of Glasgow.The building, which is a magnificent structure, is now approaching completion.The success attending tne former exposition has prompted the preparations for the other, which will follow that of Paris.A sum exceeding two mil lions and a half dollars has already been guaranteed, and those on the board of directors are the wealthiest noblemen and merchants in Scotland.It may be interesting to Canadians to be informed that the Dominion Government agent at (Glasgow, Mr.H.M.Murray, has been given a place cn the Colonial branch of the directors, and that he has already made application tor & large space for Canadian exhibits.I'his will furnish, possibly, the best opportunity ever offered for a display from the North American colony.It will not do for intending or prospective exhibitors vo delay in making their wishes known through the Department at Ottawa in respect to their intentions regardi i Glasgow exhibition.\u2018sardimg the Lord Aberdeen\u2019s Interest.Lond Aberdeen continues to take a graut intenust in Canadian affairs.At the annual dinner of the Royal Colen'al Insti.tule a few cvenings ago he expressed the Lope that the enterprising journals of Great Brutain would not leave almost altogether to the Times the duty of furnishing cable news from Canada.He rejoiced in the part Canada had taken in bringing about penny postage beliween the colonies and was hopeful that the problem of improved steam navigation would soon be volver between Canada and Groat Brit ain.Lord Kimberley embraced the occa son to pioïnt out \u2018the position Canada had obtained in the colomial world on account of the freedom with which the population had been allowed to manage ther own affairs.This incidemtal reference to Home Rule had not altogether a pleasant sonnd in the ears of some of his hearers.Whether it in that the London press fail to appracate the importance of Canada, or are feeivful that too much publ Jerty may be given to the aspimtions of the energetic pzepie, I cannot tell, but many of the pro- vineal newsnaipers man fest greater friend liness towards Canada by freely giving pub- city to subjects in which we are interested than the press of tho metropolis.Taxameter Has Arrived.The taxameter has come.It is a dlev- erly constructed device to be attached +o cabs, whereby the actual distance travel: led is unerringly noted and the legal fare unquestionably regsterod.The advent of the taxameter himsoms has creatal well- neritod excitement in the Cabmen\u2019s Union.The drivers of the new rigs are distinguished from the others by wearing whäto hats.Of course they are subject to the continual jibes of the old hands.Anyone who has ever heard the exchange of compliments between the cabbies anl the bus drivers, knows that if the wit may be faulty, the expletives cannot he said to lack strength.The \u201cocabby\u201d is well aware that the adoption of the taxa- meter means that his days for robbing a long-suffering public are ovr.Scarcely anyone wants to have a row with a cab- man\u2014panticularly if calling at a private residence, or with a lady friend.The cabhy measures up his man and will go boldly up to a door whercin his passenger has dwiappeared after paying the legal are and will send in a message by the maid or hall porter, \u201ctell the gentleman he owes me sixpence.\u201d No one wants a row in a host's hall with one of these brazen-faced frauds.Submission a thousand times to avoid a scene of that chamacter.The taxa- meter makes disputes impossible.The naw cab rents for 7s a day; al carnings beyond that are profits.The ld cab costs 153 per doy rental.The cabby reck- oms he can mnke more by his process of extortion at the latter rate than under the former.It remains to be seen whe- tiver John Bull as driver can stand the gauntlat of coarse jibes that he has to run, or whather John Bull as occupant will choose a vehicle which is the object of the rival cabbies\u2019 derision.It is safe to say that John Bull in both cases will finally stand the strain, and that the tures were delivered under the auspices ot either Protestant or Catholic clergymen, and, when it was desired to promote the interests of some charitabie object, at the request of the clergy, an admission fee was charged.In one case more than a hun dred dollars was received on behalf of a Protestant mission.Meetings were presid: ed over by archbishops, bishops, rectors, justices of the peace, and in sne or two cases by a Lord Mayor.Mr.Dcvlin\u2019s work in this way was more effective than ii he had undertaken to directly advise his hearers to go to Canada.It actually bad that effect as evidencel by the largely increased emigration tc Canada last year, and the movement towards Canada now.The Nationalists, members of Parliament, and local leaders unhesitatingly discourage all emigration from Ireland on aliezed patriotic grounds, appealing to the vcung Irishman to remain at home, even if he may have a hard time to make ends , = taxameter will stay.Among the Canadians whose arrival in London was nioted in previous letters, and who, it is said, have been successful im {lheir financial ventures, are Mr.Jchn Shizlds, the old-time prominent politician and contractor.Mr.Shields, who sailed for home last week, came to London with letters of introduction to a leading capital ist on Lombard street for the purposa of floating mortgage bonds on the general system of imigration, transport and elec: tric energy improvement he is instituting at Ashberoft, British Columbia.While here Mr.Shields had a most charming social experience and commended himself by his tast, shrewdness and candor to quite a circle of finanidal authorities.I have rea- sm to believe that he was not on!y emin- eatly successful in securing a large amount o money

of a campaign in whub the summer g.rl 18 the prime factor.Now, though 1® may seem a bit preachy preacny.1 want to say a tew words to the thoughtless young creatures who all too otien return in the autumn with memories tor which they have to blush and an added we:ght of undesirable experience, which I hope a few words of advice w.ll help them to avoid.To begin with, there are very few giris who wilfully get into mischief.Thoughtlessness, the desire for a i:ttle fun ot an out of the ordinary character, a playing wth fire, so to speak, is what brings about much of the trouble that clouds ule summer girl's life.Many a sweet, gentle creature who bas never uttered a word of slang or done a single act that was not modest and refined seems \u2018o beconde intoxicated by the atmosphere of laxity.She predomia- ates in summer resort life and blossoms forth into what men call a good fellow, but which gentle women shrink frun va \u201cfast.\u201d Ii there is one season more than another when it behooves the ¢haperon to be mcst actively in evidence that season is the one on the threshold of wlich we ate now standing.Girde, think of this matter seriously.Jf you value the good opinion of men, do not, we beseech you, seek to gain it by a harum scarum defiance of conventicnaliiy.It may seem great fun to give the tabbics on the perch something to talk about, but you will wish that you hadn\u2019t in the days {> come when you realize that a breath can destroy a reputation, and that men prefer the good woman to the good fellow every time when the question of wife choosing is to be decided.\u2014\u2014 HERE AND THERE.Keep the body in a condition of exquisite cleanliness, avoid \u2018impurg and strongly scented soaps and be careful in the choice of cosmetics.Put on sensible shoes, and in comfortably fitting garments take brisk walks in the air.Be careful to eat simple ford and keep the internal mechanism in order.Keep regular and early hours.plenty of sleep.Avoid worry and fretting over triiles, which will give a strained, tired look and eventually wrinkles.Women who want color in their faces- that is, natural color\u2014must take plenty of exercise and enjoy fresh air.To stay in a room which is not well ventilated alter having been out for a walk is as bad as having no walk at all.The splendid complexions and color oË English women are due largely to their judicious outdoor life.The cause of sallow skins in young people is, an a rule, lack of exercise.1t is foolish to think that because one is active indoors nature is satisfied.Never was there à greater mistake.As surely as a plant needs fresh air and sunshine so does ihe human being.Tf possible it is not tno much to spend two hours daily in the open ar, going for a brisk walk of four miles, if vou can stand it.If this is continued, the clearness and texture of the skin will improve.Besides this the feeling of elasticity and good humor which it will impart will make it well worth all the trouble.Nothing makes one so dull, morbid and heavy looking as constant indoor iife, No matter how active may be the demands of that life, nothing can compensate for the loss of outdoor exercise.The exercise is better for being taken in the early hours of the morning, for then the air is purer and the bodv in better condition.Fresh air should enter the living as well as ile tleeping rooms.The state of the skin, of conrse, varies with the state of the atmos.here.A dry climate is hard even on the best skin.Several women actors who attemnted to gain notoriety by having their front teeth set with diamonds did not after all hit unon a novel idea.for in the recent explorations of Cojan, the mysterious city ot onduras, many ancient tombs were opened.The bodies had Been laid at full length upon the floor.The cerements had long since mouldered away, and the skele- tone themselves were in a crumbling condition, and gave little knowledge of the physical characteristics of the people.But one fact of surprising interest came to light concerning their ideas of ornamentation- namely, the custom of adorning their fron: Take B.B.B.This Spring.Very few people escape the enervat- {ng influence of spring weather i There is a dullness, drowsiness and inaptitude for work on account of the whole system being clogged up with impurities accumulated during the winter months.The liver is sluggish, the bowels in- \u2018clined to be constipated, the blood impure, and the entire organism is in need of a thorough cleansing.* Of all \u2018\u201c Spring Medicines,\u201d\u2019 Burdock Blood Bitters is the best.It stimulates the sluggish liver to activity, improves the appetite, aets on the bowels and kidneys, purifies and enriches the blood, removes all poisonous products, and imparts new life and vigor to those who are weak and debilitated.7 Bi Mr.Wm.J.Hepburn writes Boils, from Centralia, Ont.: \u2018\u2018I can sincerely say that Burdock Blood Bitters is the best spring medicine on the market.Last spring my blood got out of order, and I had seven or eight good sized boils come out on my body, and the one on my leg was much larger than an egg.I got a bottle of Burdock Blood Bitters, and inside of six days, when only half the bottle was taken, there wasn\u2019t a boil tobe seen.Ihave recommended B.B.B.todifferent people in our village, and all derived benefit from it.I wish B.B.B.every success, as it is indeed a great medicine for the blood.Mrs.Aggie Barnes, Lunen- burg, N.S., writes: \u2018\u2018I have taken B.B.B.every spring now for some years, to purify my blood

have hardly slept a wink since heaving from you.It seems to me that you wer\u201c riost unwise to take an apartment on the ground floor.I had not realized that you were going to do so, or I should have warned you azainst it.Don't you know that burglars keep track of weddings and ar: always on the lookout for new silver that a bride keeps out in the first enjoyment she takes in her new possessions, ready for the first arrivals to gather in?Suppose they should steal all your beautiful presents!\u201d Actually it looks as it those amiable relatives of mine care move about my silver than they do about me.\u201d Mis.J.F.Williams, of Brooklyn, sends the tollowing good method of cleaning silver.1 have tested it and found that it worked perfectly except in the case of silver heavilv tarnished, when it was necessary to rub lightly with a little dry whit- ins :\u2014 \u201cHave a dishpan containinz about two gallons of cold water.In this dissolve a plece of common washing soda about the size of an egg, and heat the solition tn the boiling point.Drop into this the silver to be cleaned, taking care to keep the whole at the boiling point.Let the silver soak for about three or four minutes.Lift out with a wire spoon or lonz-hand!- ed fork, wash in hot soapsuds and wipe quickly with a perfeetly dry towel.The vieces so cleaned will be as highly polished as when new.This process will injure neither plated nor solid ware.\u201d I add a few suggestions : Have the pan of hot, soapy water on the stove close to the pan of boiling soda solution.Take up only a few pieces of silver at a time; wash and wipe them quickly; then take up another batch, and so on until the whole is finished.Dieces remain in the boilinz liquid five or siX minutes.When all the silver is finished, if there are any pieces that do not look white and clear, rub them with a little dry whiting and a dry cloth; then polish off with a soft, dry cloth.THE CUISINE.Some Good Recipes Specially Prepared
