Washington, September 2\u2014New light has been thrown on the effort of Canadians to secure a large part of the export grain business from the United States through Montreal and the St.Lawrence route by a statement of Chairman Knapp of the Interstate Commerce Commission.This cannot be considered willing testimony, \u2018under the circumstances, for it argues decidedly in favor of the Dominion meiropo\u2019is.The statement is called forth in the opin- fon of the Commissioner and his associates in re.the recent hearings given to representatives of the trunk railway llnes upon export and domestic traffic in grain and grain products.Special attention is naturaily given to the relative advantages to the shippers of sending thelr grain abroad by way of Montreal and Buffalo, the ocean outlet in the latter case belng, of course, hy way of the Erte Caual or the New York Central Railroad, through New York.The inevitable conclusion is, although it is not plainly stated in the written opinion of the commission, that it is cheaper to export American grain by way of Montreal than by way of Bualffo and New York.ALL WATER ROUTE, Here is one extract from Chairman Knapp's opinion: \u201cNow (t is possible to transport grain from Chicago to either Montreal or New York entirely by water.The same steamer which loads at a Chicago elvatlor can pass by way of the Great Lakes, the St.Lawrence River and the Canadian canals to the side of the ocean steamships at Montreal.Grain carrted by lake from Chicago to Buffalo can there be loaded into a canai boat and taken through the Erie Canal and the Hudson river to the shipside in New York harbor.It did not appear very definitely (at the recent hearings) what the rae per one hundred pounds by water from Chl.cago to Montreal was, but the testimony laaves the impression that it is between 8 and 9 cents per one hundred pounds.CHEAPER BY MONTREAL.The comparison of this rate with the rate to New York by way of Buffalo is then sharply set forth.The commission finds that the rate by water from Chicago to Buffalo, during the present season has een from 1 1-2 to 1 7-8 cents per bushel.During the last season there were times when the rate was as low as 3:4 of a cent, but that was exceptional.The from Buffalo to New York on wheat fis 3 1-2 cents per bushel, including the elevator charges at Buffalo.This gives a total rate, between Chicago and New York, of a trifle over 9 cents per one hunared pounds.So, it is evident ,and the Commission admits it, that even if tne rate vate.from Chicago to Montreal be placed at the maximum of 9 cents instead of $ cents, there is a fraction of à cent, at least, in favor of the Montreal route.NO REDUCTION TN SIGIIT.That there will not in the near future be any possible reduction in the Chicage- New York rate is evident from the fact, as the Commission says, that \u2018\u2018the rate is bound to be maintained because the railways apparently manage to control the elevator facilities at Buafflo,\u201d thus impairing the competition between the ran lines and the Erle Canal which 1s obliged to pay high charges at Buffalo for the transfer of grain from the lake steamers to the canal boats.The Commissioners say nothing #6 to the facilities for handling grain at Montreal, but it is taken for granted that tuese will improve in the near future, even if they are not already adequate for ail purposes of competition with American poluts.DIVERT IT TO MONTREAL.One is led to conclude inevitably that the growing facilities for transportation on the lakes and for transferring the cargoes at railways at necessary points will In the near future result in diverilng a large amount of the American grain traffic between this country and Europe to Montreal and the ocean liners starting from that port.And as United States shippers are not controlled by sentiment in matters of business like this, the new condition wiil be welcomed.Incidentally, it to note is interesting that the effort of the representatives of .American lines of railways at the recent : hearing to throw the responsibility for raet cutting on the Canadlan Iaclfic was not altogether successful.Chairman Knapp says in his written opinion: \u201cIt was Intimated upon the hearing that this rate from Minneapolis was justified by Canadian competition, The record shows that the rates were named by all the lines and simultaneously, but we ard unable to sec how, If the contrary had been true, if thls rate had been actually forced by the canadian Pacific and its allled lines, that could alter the situation.The route by the Canadian Pacific is from Minneapolls to Sault Ste.Marie, a distance of 500 miles, in the United States.The Minenapolis, St.Paul and Sault Ste.Marie which covers this distance, is an American line, subject in all respects to the terms of the Act to Regulate Commerce.\u2019 Another paragraph in the opinion of the Commission is significant: \u201cIt was in evl- dence that one exporter during the year 1898 had scent 14,000,000 bushels of gran all water through the port of Montreal.Competition which carries such an env mous quantity of traffic must Le controlling in its effect.\u201d Walter E.Clark.WANTED TO TASTE DEATH New York Girl Curious to Know the Sensation, Yesterday She Was Found Dying in Her Room st the Hotel Where She Had Taken Poison, Binghompton,

Protect Her Subjects.London, September 1.\u2014This evening the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Mr.Joseph Chamberlain, issued the text of the Transvaal despatches of August 19 and 21, &nd of the reply of the Imperial Government on August 20.The publication is accompanied by a note making the corrected versions known, owing to the fact that an Incorrect version has been published in Pretoria.The Transvaal despatch of August 19 contains the propesals regarding the rran- chise, which go upon the assumption that Great Britain will agree that the present intervention dnes not coustitute a proce- dent and will allow the suzerainty question to drop tacitly.NO FUTURE INTERVENTION, The despatch of August 21, makes the proposed concessions expressly conditional upon Great Britain\u2018s undertaking not to interfere in the future affairs of the Transvaal, not to insist upon a further assertion of the existence of suzeralnty and to agree to arbitration.MUST PROTECT SUBJECTS.The reply of the Imperial Government, dated August 28, declares that Great Bri- taln considers that the proposals put forward as alternative to those of July 31, assume the adoption In princinle of a franchise which will not be hampered by conditions impairing its usefulness, and which will assure immediate represenration.With respect to Intervention, the Imper- fal note says that the Government cannot debar themselves from their rights mmder the conventions, nor deliver themselves from the obligations of a civilixed power to protect its subjects abro:we from injustice.The note concludes by reminding the Transvaal that other matters exist, which the granting of a politeal franchise will hot settle and which are the proper sub- Jects for arbitration.These, tae npte declares, it will be necessary to settle concurrently with the questions already under discussion and they will form.with the question of arbitration.proper subjects for the proposed Cape Town conference.The Pretoria version of the TIiaperial reply was that Mr.Chamberlain was unable to consider the Transvaal\u2019s proposals.as qurepternative to a jolut commission of in- y.KRUGER MAY HAVE SAID IT.London,

the Republic.Chicago, Sept.1.\u2014Joseph Reinach cables the Record from Paris as follows:\u2014Lebrun- Renault's appearance before the Rennes court-martial leaves the question of Dreyfus\u2019 supposed avowal just where it was beiore.His word is no better in Rennes than it was In Paris, and his deposition has little value as acceptable testimony.The court-martial could not consider it eviderce eves { it so desired, for technically Lebrun-Renault\u2019s report would have to be corroborated by a second witnegs, either directly or indirectly, before it could count vitally.From a practical point of view his word is Stll1 Où less value, since everytning he knew concerning Dreyius\u2019 att:tude 1n 1394 is ugalnst the supposition that he thus confess- eu.lhere is aiso «&gainst it the evidence of everybody eis e who heard Dreyfus express himself ut that time.\u2018ne Court of Cassation already disposed of this so-called avowal In iast May and nothing new can be said on the subject except that Lebrun-ltenault proved himself a worthy tool for such a chief as Mercier.NOT HONESTLY MISTAKEN.Everything leads to the belief that he is bot nonestiy mistaken, but is a har.lhe fact may be recalled that at the time of Lreyrus\u2019 degradation it was to Lebrun-Re- nauit's interest to carry back to his chiefs word tdat Dreyfus had conretsed.It should also be remembered that Lebrun-Renault would thus gain fame, resulting in profit to himself by telling this egregious lie.\u2018Then put these facts together with that of the enormous iniquity of the men to whom he played the part of tool and after this what Is left of Lebrun-Renault\u2019s dark invention?Could it bz accepted by anybody; the judges or the world?Why would Dryfus choose to contess at all at that moment when his only hope lay in maintaining his innocence stoutly.HARD TO KILI.A LIE.But on a matter like this one he may get lost in asking himself innumerable questions.It all, however, exemplifies how much easier it is to kill ten truths than a single lie.Le- brun-Renault\u2019s story of Dreyfus\u2019 avowal Is of a piece with Mercier\u2019s forgeries and double dealing and Henry's falseness and suicide.Now it all fits together, and one thing is certain, namely, that the truth is coming out at last in Rennes before everyone's eyes.It could be stifled only to a certain extent.t is becund to escape unwittingly even from the throats of liars.This insance is but one example.Another is furnished by Mercier, when he directly causes ex-Minister de Freycinet to be summoned to Rennes, claiming the latter said to General Jamont that he had certain knowledge of the existence of a \u2018\u2018syndicate.\u201d Freycinet comes and \u2018denies.To-day he addds to thta denial a statement that the good of France demands that Dreyfus be acquitted.\u201cEvery enemy of France,\u2019\u2019 he says, \u2018\u2018wishes sincerely that Dreyfus be recon- demnod.\u201d This is a death blast served to Mercier.When he falls back on one lie to prop up other lies such enemies are easy to vanquish.NEW BANK AT ARNPRIOR.Rumored that the Quebec Bank Intends to Establish a Branch There in the Near

as Finance Minister.MR.FIELDING\u2019S REPLY.Mr.Fielding gave a short but very happy address.after which those present were }n- troduced to the Minister and Mrs.Filding.A gpceial train conveyed the party back to New Glasgow, where Mr.and Mrs.Fielding were the guests of J.D.McGregor, M.P.P.On Wednesday Mr.and Mrs.Fielding visited Pictou, when they were entertained by I.G.Ives, Esq.After luncheon the Finance Minister and party were driven around the suburbs, visiting the summer residence of Sir Donald Smith at Norway Point, the site of the new smelting works now being erected by the Copper Crown Smelting Company, at Yorston's Point, in which Mr.Fielding was greatly interested, and other points of interest.A reception was held at 4 p.m., at the Revere Hotel, when the Minister renewed his acquaintance with a large number of his old time Pictou Liberals and friends, at which Maycr Craig and other prominent Couservatives were presetn.Mr.Fielding and party returned to New Glasgow in the evening and was entertained by Senator Carmichael.On Thursday the Minister visited Westville, the centre of Pictou County's coal mining region, visiting the Intercolonial coal mines, and was driven to all the interesting points in the vieinity.A reception was held at the Dut- ferin Hotel, at which the leading citizens of Westville were presented to the Minister of Flnance.Mr.and Mrs.Fielding returned to Halifax on mid-day train on Friday, and expressed themselves as charmed and delighted with their short trip to Pictou County.ee CORONER'S REPORT FOR AUGUST.The coroner\u2019s report for

interest that even the recent special election in the eighth Missouri district for a successor to Congressman Richard P.Bland has been utilized as the topic of the day, by lengthy editorials foreshadowing ali kinds of political upheavals in the United States.HOT SEASON ENDED.The arrival of rain during the week and the consequent banishment of the hot weather afforded intense relief.The recent hot spell was apparently respounsibie for a considerable increase in the United Kingdom death rate, especially among children.MAYBRICK CASE.A weekly paper again brings up the Maybrick case, saying the injustice done to Dreyfus is nothing when compared to that done to Mrs.Maybrick, the American woman undergoing penal servitude for life after having been convicted of poisoning her husband, basing its remarks on the old theory that she ought to have been hanged or freed.REPORTS OF PLAGUE.The reports of the plague abroad creates uneasiness here, and the authorities have taken a few regulation precautions at the ports.But the bulk of the English are mme] far too satisfied with thelr sanitary superiority to seriously consider the possibility of an outbreak in this country.PRINCE OF WALES\u2019 VISIT.Many stories are current about the Prince of Wales\u2019 recent visit to Marien.bad, where he was most democratic.It is said that a Polish Jew, sitting on a park bench next to the Prince, not know- {ng his identity, begun to question him about what he pald for his rooms, doctors, etc, ending with digging His Royal Highness in the ribs and telling him he looked too healthy to need the water cure.NEW GUN AT WOOLWICH.An astonishing report {is going the rounds about the new gun made at Wool- wich, which is said to be so powerful that no range is long enough to test it, so a new range is to Le built.It is seriously stated that the first shot went out of sight, and thus it was impossible to get the exact range.But the range was conservatively estimated at fifteen miles.As the extended testing grounds will not be ready for some time, it is said the gun is being shortened so that it can be tested.INTEREST RATHER FLAGS.Public interest in both the Dreyfus court-martial and the Transvaal crisis rather flagged during the week, and is not vet keen on the yacht race, though the papers give good accounts of the Shamrock\u2019s doings.Sandwiched in between these is the church question.Letters from the clergy and others are constantly appearing in the press.Lord Halifax, the most prominent law leade rof the Ritual.ists, has issued a manifesto counselling grouding compliance with the Archbishop's decision, if it is insisted by the diocesan bishop, and declaring the Ritualists will fight to the bitter end to secure a repeal of the deeision, MR.MTUAIG ON MINES, Recent Decline in Prices is Due to the Rumored Strike.The Discovery of the Method for Treating Republic Ore Means a Saving of $500 a Day.Mr, C.J.McCuaig returned from Toronto this morning, and when asked ahout the recent decline in some of the leading mining properties said :\u2014 \u201cThe selling has been due to the rumor of a strike amoung the miners in Rossland and the fact that there has been some question of a strike there for some time past, The merchants of Rossland, however, have taken an active interest in the affair, as they would be heavy losers, and it is understood now that their advice to the miners not to strike has prevailed.\u201cIt is perhaps.not generally understood,\u201d sald Mr.McCualig, \u2018\u2018that the Republic is in the State of Washington, where there is no probability of a strike, as no differences of any description exist between the miners and the mine owners.The threatened troubles in Rossland were due purely to the law passed by the British Columbia Legislature last winter, restricting miners from working more than eight hours in the ground out of the twenty-four.There seem to be many indications that the law will be repealed.\u201cAsked if he had any late information regarding Payne or Republic, Mr.Me- Cuaig said that he had been advised of two Important strikes In the Payne recently, and also that the experiments for treating Republic ore had been completed.The present mill will he altered and enlarged before the end of the season.\u201cThe new process,\u201d said Mr.McCuaig, \u201cwill treat ore for just one-third of the present cost, and will save 14 per cent.more of the gold.This will mean a saving on the present output of nearly $500 a day.\u201d MR.COCHRANE OBJECTS To the Street Railway Making so Much Street Repairing Necessary by Tearing up Tracks Continually.The Health and Road Committees held meetings yesterday, at which no important business was transacted.Contractors are to be ordered to proceed forthwith to repair the Civie Hospital.The Road Committee heard Mr.James Cochrane on the subject of repairs to pavements alongside the street car tracks.Mr.Cochrane's contract compels him pi the recently vacated position of

PUBLISHING CO.Jas.8.BRIERLEY, Managing Director, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1899.TO OHIEF HUGRES, Dear Chief Hughes: Lieut.Fortin is only charged with having bargained about a place on the police force and you have rightly enough suspended him.Lieut.La- fleche Is charged with having actually handled the money In another case and you have neither suspended nor asked him to explain his conduct.Did you not want to know the particulars of the Lieut.La- fleche charge?Or did you know them?Why did you not suspend the lleutenant who 1s charged with handling money if a man who fdid not handle any deserves suspension and trial by the committee?Is your zeal for the public service confined to Lleut.Fortin?Or does It extend to every official charged with a like offence?Is your new official zeal not retrospective?Have you determined that charges dating since a certain public trial shall be enquired Into while those which ante-date that occasion shal! go unnotlced?If so Lieut.Lafleche is to be congratulated.Or 1s it that where the attempt to get a man on the force for money Is successful and the money has actually been paid, you think there need be neither suspension nor inquiry?Is there a statute of limitation with regard to these offences so that an offence committed a year or two ago shall be covered up and pass into oblivion?What Is the exact time laid down in the statute?Finally, do you think the public will be satisfled with what you have done?Without ill-will may we inform you that the publle think there is a regularly organized system of purchasing places in your department, and they will not be satisfiad with less than the fullest inquiry and the removal of everybody who is found to be mixed up in it.Lieut.Fortin cannot, If he would, carry the sing of your department Into the wilderness.You have now done too little or too much.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SUSPEND LIHUT.LAFLEOHH TOO Chief of Police Hughes has suspended Lieut.Fortin.Fortin is alleged to have explalned to the chief that he had no intention of handling the money, but the Chief thought the explanation inadequate and suspended him.Chief Hughes has under his jurisdie- tion another lieutenant of police who js said to have taker part In a similar transaction, and who, according to the charge, did handle the money.He is Lieut, Olivier R.Lafleche.Why not deal impartially and suspend Lafleche ag well as Fortin ?\u2018Why not widen the scope of tlhe investigation that is now inevitable ?The charge is explicitly that Lieut.La- fleche actually handled the money.The story Is llke this, as was told in The Herald of November 26, 1898: Alexander Lafleche came to Montreal in 1892 from Ste.Anne de la Perade, with a letter from Senator J.J.Ross to Chief Hughes.He applied for a place on the force, was welghed, measured and cate- chised, and told to wait.He waited in | vain.At last he called again on Colonel | Hughes, and was told he was past the age | limit.For two years he worked In a to- | bacco factory in Montreal and in the C.P.| R.yards at Ste.Anne de la Perade.Then ! he came back and was advised by some one to whom he told his story to com- | municate with Lleut.O.R.Lafleche.Ie | did so, according to his own story, and he says, on payment to Lieut.Lafleche of | $200, obtained the place.Alexander La- fleche bad to borrow the money wherewith to purchase the position.He got it from Mr.Horace Gariepy, his brother- in-law, and gave the latter his note for the amount.He borrowed the money on November 26, 1894, was measured and examined by the doctor, was ill five weeks of typhold fever, and was sworn in on January 16, 1893.In May, 1807, after years on the force, being about two Alexander Lafleche was dismissed.He complained that he bad been badly treated, and demanded his money back.It was, in his opinion, too high a commission on two years\u2019 work at nine dollars a week.On June 4, 1897, not long after he was dismissed, he obtained a promissory note from his namesake, the lieutenant of police.It is In these terms: \u2018Montreal, June 4th, 1897.\u201cOn demand, from this date, I promise to pay to the order of Alexander Lafleche, at the office of La Banque Nationale, the sum of two hundred dolars, for value re- (Signed), O.R.Lafleche.\u201d Fortin\u2019s conduct Ys not to be compared with this charge.Yet Lieut.Lafleche has not been suspended, while Lieut.Fortin has been suspended.Chief Hughes has made a beginning by instantly suspend- | ing Fortin, but he is not acting with the Impartiality that should be looked for in & commanding officer, when be suspends | | ceived.one lieutenant and lets the other go free.It Is not {air to Fortin, it is not fair to the force, ft is not fair to the Chief himself, it is not fair to the public, If, as bis friends claim, Colonel Hughes ls too often made to bear the blame that rightly belongs to others, he has now an excellent opportunity to aid in the demonstration of the truth, whatever the truth may be.puce THE GAZETTE AND THE SURPLUS \u201cDemonstrations In honor of Mr.Marchand are being arranged.The purpose Seems to be to make the most of the surplus story before the public accounts of the Province are printed.\u201d\u2019\u2014The Gazette.We cannot regard this as a complete ful- flment of the Gaeztte's promise to tell us In due time what it thinks of the surplus.Our contemporary, it will be remembered, first wanted to have the \u2018official evidence\u2019 of the surplus.After a day or two we published the Official statement signed by the Provincial Auditor and Deputy Treasurer attesting the existence of a surplus of $22,556.These officials even gave the Îtems and details showing how the surplus was brought about.We have supposed the subsequent delay in hearing from the Gazette was due to the study it was giving that statement.But Ît seems now that our doubting contemporary is still unprepared to admit that the Government \u201chas risen to fits duty.\u201d It says it will walt for the public accounts to be printed.It appears to expect that they will be more reliable.And yet, as It knows, the statement published three or four weeks ago was prepared by the same deparimental officers who have In hand the preparation of the book for which it is walting.It looks \u2018llke a mere pretext for postponing an acknowledgment of the And yet we do not like to say anything so harsh, remembering, as we surplus.do, the frankness with which In that memorable cditorlal, a few months ago, the Gazette admitted that during the year 1808 Mr.Marchand, so far from adding to the debt, had actually reduced the Province\u2019s Indebtedness by $113,907.Therefore, until the lamp of hope goes out, we will go on hoping for another burst of that same frankness.It may be there Is some point of difficulty which is In the mind of our contemporary which could be easily removed if we knew about it.Unfortunately, the Gazette will not discuss Its doubts and difficulties.It will not tell us what it thinks.It will not say why it needs more \u2018\u2018official evidence about \u201cthe surplus story,\u201d before acknowleding the story to be true.We are at a loss, therefore, to know what point or figure it is which needs the reinforcement of the public accounts.Toth the Gazette and the iStar exhibit the greatest reticence.Neither of they, In common with the whole Province, must rejoice at the rehabilitation of the finances, will discuss the matter.The above paragraph Is the Gazette\u2019s sole comment on one of the most noteworthy events in the Yrovince's history, while the Star has not said a solitary word.It would be too bad if the public got the idea that the surplus 1s unwelcome to them simply because 1t 1s the work of a Liberal Government.Ang yet this talk about waiting for the publie accounts is scarcely more reassuring tnan the absolute silence of the Star, 4 \u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A COMPARISON OF SERVICES, them, though we are sure In the period between 1895 and 1899 the revenues of the Dominion Increased from thirty-four to forty-six millions of dollars, and Sir Richard Cartwright estimates that during the same period the aggregate income of the people of Canada was Increased by at least fifty million dollars, How hag the extra revenue of the Dominion been expended?If wastefully, may fairly be reproached; If wisely and to the profit of the country, then the Government is deserving of credit.the Government For purposes of comparison, the expenditure may appropriately be divided into two classes, fixed charges and extraordinary expenditures.The fixed charges vary little from year to year.But even here economy and good management may do something, and since 1896 économy and good management have done a great deal.The charge for civil government has been reduced from $1,422,000 to $1,399,000; the charge for legislation from $941,000 to $720,000; the charge | for management of the penetentlaries from $449,000 to $336,000, an item which of itself constitutes the fullest just!fication for the attacks made by the Liberals upon the former administration of those institutions, The charge for public works administration was reduced from $1,742,000 to $1.701,- 000.There were similar improvements in the Post-Office and Excise Departments, although the amount of revenue collected was much larger.In the Customs Department 23 per cent.more revenue was collected with less than 6 per cent.additional expense.Sir Richard Cartwright places the increase of the fixed charges between 1897 and 1900\u2014\u2018\u2018taking as the standard Mr.Foster\u2019s calculations in the first year and Mr.Fielding\u2019s calculations in the last\u2014at just\u2019 $635,000, a little over 1 cent per head of the population.\u201d We hear a great deal about additions to the debt since the Liberals have been in power, but In point of fact the net addition Jo the debt in three years has been less than six millions, while the expenditure made on the deepening of the canals alone was nine millions, and that on the Crow's Nest Railway over three millions.In Mr.Foster\u2019s time it was customary to add five or six millions to the debt yearly.for interest on the national debt amounted to $2.11 per head of the population.This year it amounts to not more than $2 a head.The present Government, from all this, In lis last year the charge must be conceded to be good managers.Mr.Foster came through his last three years with deficits of $1,210,332, $4.153,875, and $330,551.The Liberals\u2019 three years showed one deficit of $319,981, a surplus of $1,722,712 and a second surplus of about $5,000,000, The expenditure in 1893, the last year the Conservatives really had their way, was $38,132,000 on consolidated fund account; In 1808, under the Liberals, it was $38,832,- 000.The difference of $700,000 is accounted for by $357,000 additional placed in the sinking fund, 105,000 well spent on agricui- ture and cold storage; $65,000 well spent on Immigration; $800,000 spent on the Yukon, an expenditure which brought in over a million of revenue, and $345,000 on railways and canals.Against the Increase of $700,- 000 there are these explanatory items, aggregating $1,672,000.Service for service, the record of the Liberals Is $972,000 better.The Crow's Nest Pass Road cost the Dominion $3,300,000, and has been the means of adding between thirty and forty millions to the wealth of the country.The money spent in pushing forward the work of deepening the canals and in improving the harbors of Montreal, Hallfax and St.John will give sinrilar results.The interest on the Crow's Nest investment does not exceed $90,000.The Increased

Association of Factory Inspeétors at Quebec this week, madë a suggestion which is worthy of the most careful con- slderation on the part of representatives of organized labor, and labor's employers, The Minister of Public Works proposes the establishment of a permanent arbitration board for the purpose of adjusting al labor difficulties and strikes.He suggests that in Canada the Prime Minister of the Dominion with the Lieutenant-Governor and Prime Minister of thé Province concerned might form such a tribunal.And with such a board Mr.Duffy has no doubt that mediation would often have In suggesting such a that he importance of the by the na- Lo the very best results.trio, Mr.Duffy shows alizes the immense re- labor question.Arbitrators, ture of their duties, be men of prominence and judgment, possessing the confidence of both par- fos to the dispute, and at the same time unconnected in any way with elther.An arbitration commission, whether of the personnel suggested by Mr.Duffy or some other equally appropriate, would be able to do much towards ameliorating and elim- the conditions that very often interfere, in times like the present, with the full enjoyment of industrial

condition of Quebec wage- earners will, we doubt not, have their unqualified approval and support.rar NO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CANADA, An Ottawa despatch says that Sir Richard Cartwright, Minister of Trade anda Commerce, some months ago got wind of a proposed trade arrangement between the Government of Jamalea and that of the Untied States, the effect of which would be a discrimination in the markets of Ja- matca fu faver of American and against Canadian products, Sir Richard, the despatch says, at once communicated his Information to Mr.Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, and entered a protest In advance egainst the ratification of any treaty which would place Canada in an Inferior pcsition in the market of Jamaica.To this Mr.Chamberlain Is said te have replied that no such discrimination would be allowed.To judge from the reports that come by way of Washing- the which an excellent chance of being vetoed by the Government of Great Britain unless a clause be inserted according to British colonles the same terms granted to the United States, was made with the Government of Jamaica by Reciprocity Com- Kassan, It ton, arrangement now stands Canada and other missioner is understood that the agreement provides for a reduction of duty cu sugar, oranges, bananas and other Jamalcan rroducts, and that Jamaica will abandon about $120,000 of duties that have been levied on certain lines of American goods imported to the island.11 Canadian goods be allowed to share in this reduction all will be well, but if not it is clear that a serious injury must be done to Canadian trade, for the principal imports of Jamaica are flour, lumber, fish, butter and meats, all of which Canada is well able to supply and does supply in considerable quantities at present.A line of steamers, subsidized in the expectation of promoting trade between Canada and the West Indies, plies regularly from St.John and Halifax to the Islands.Canadians certainly have no desire to stand in the way of the prosperity of a sister colony, and would be glad to witness the conclusion of any arrangement through which the prosperity of Jamaica might be furthered.But considering the tendency to consolidation of the British Empire that has been so markedly noticeable In the past couple of years, any movement made | | | | by one of the colonies which might have | a tendency to separate the Interests of British possessions must be viewed witn regret.This consideration will in aul probability decide the action of Great\u2019 Britain towards any proposed treaty containing proposals discriminating against Canada.Meantime it is satisfactory to know that the commercial Interests of Canada are being carefully looked after, elthough with Sir Richard Cartwright In charge of the Department of Trade and Commerce, a watchful oversight of all propositions likely to affect Canadian commerce is something to be confidently expected.Aside from the Imperial point of view, there Is a little matter more strictly between the West Indies and Canada which other countries amounted to 132 million dollars in value, and from then until 1593 it Increased by about 92 millions.Since 1895 thera has been another Increase, amounting to 93 millions.Truly a marvellous Increase for so brief a period.rpm NOTES AND COMMENTS, ! In the Lafleche case there does not appear to have been any additional welght for age imposed?\u2014 may be recalled at this time.It is only a Year or two ago that Canada extended to West Indian sugar a tariff preference.This was done because of the hardship which Sugar-growers in the Islands have suffered In consequence of the competition of the bounty sugar of European countries.1t was a practical and helpful recognition of the Imperial relationship.And considering the hearty approval with which Canada's action was regarded by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, it Is not surpris- Ing that he should seek to prevent a disadvantage now being put upon Canada by these same inlands.\u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014__ammnmmnmnen THREE YEARS OF GROWTH.The echoes of Sir Richard Cartwrizht's magnificent speech at Toronto ten days ago have not yet died away.The press of the Dominion, practically without distine- tlon of party, are devoting much attention to a profitable discussion of the main propositions advanced in it.The speech deserves all the attention it bas received, and, apart altogether from îts value as a contribution to party polemics.will be valued In the future as giving expression to the new spirit of progressive Canad'an- Ism with which, during three years past, all classes of citizens of the Dominion have become Infected.The business record of which Sir Richard spoke presents the most favorable indica- tlon of the possibilities of Canadian development the country has ever known, He was able to announce, without evoking a single negative criticism, that the progress of Canada in the three years last past had been as great as in the preceding thirty.And on the head of this he presented for the acceptance of his hearers the opinion that this auspicious development is to continue untf! the mineral product of Canada, which a few years ago was next to nothing, will within a few years more amount to at least one hundred millions in annual value.The importance of such conditions to the miner, the capl- talist, the railway, the farmer, the manufacturer and the artisan it is superfluous to Would La Presse class Lieut.Fortin and Lafieche, if the charges against them are proved, as \u2018\u2018professional go-betweens\u201d or \u2018big clectors\u2019\u2019?Of one thing we may be certain, that Chief Hughes suspended Lieut.Fortin he cause he thought his conduct questionable, And not because he wanted to help along a Herald story.If \u201cprofessional go-betweens\u2019\u201d are the more dangerous because they divide up who with some other person or persons, are the other persons?Or does La Presse think it worth while to find out?Will La Presse tell us what class of go- betweens in the system of bribery which it has at last discovered are \u2018\u2018professlon- al\u201d?Does it mean clvic employes?1f so we cannot understand its not helping to have such men dismissed.\u2014\u2014 T'oliceman Alexander Lafleche had foo many years in his tally upon his first ap- plcation to Chief Hughes, An addition of 230 \u201cpounds\u2019 to his \u2018\u2018weight\u201d by the time he saw Lieut.Lafleche seems to have more than made up for this failing.\u201cWeight\u201d tells, La Presse has at last discovered the modns operandi of the system of selling places in the clvie service.As soon as our contemporary realizes the necessity for putting a stop to the system The Herald, we have no doubt, will have its hearty cooperation.If Lieut.Fortin was a \u2018\u2018professional go- between\u2019 in the Bergeron case, and was \u201cnot going to handle any money,\u201d to whom was the money to go?That is what the public wants to know, notw#hstanding La Presse seems to think the point is of no importance.If there are to be \u201cprofessional go-be- tweens,\u201d against whose operations no one would think of protesting, why not allow them to occupy good positions fn the civic service?They can work to much better advantage there.Our esteemed contemporary, La Presse, could not have entertained the 1dea that Lieut.Fortin would acknowledge anything and be suspended by the Chief of Police.suggest.Canada is at last passing from he.ing a country of vast undeveloped natural resources to being one In which the opportunities for the production of wealth are receiving due

FORTIN CASE.La Patrie Demands an Inquiry Into the Stories of Purchasing Places\u2014La Presse Has Discovered a Regular System.La Patrle has demanded that a thorough enquiry be made Into the stories which are continually being made public that places on the police force can be purchased.It sald yesterday :\u2014 «The Herald yesterday made revelations which constitute a veritable charge against Lieut.Fortin, of Police Station No.9, The question is of a position as constable, which was to be obtained by one Arthur Bergeron, on payment of a sum of $500.We publish on another page a summary of the facts brought to light by our contemporary.In the course of an interview Mr.Fortin contradicts the greater part of the declaration of Mr.Berger- or, and gives his version of the $300 matter.\u201cIt is not for us to pass judgment on the facts; but we wish to say thaf the matter should be cleared up.Chief Hughes commenced this morning by suspending Lieut.Fortin, and therein he has acted rightly.The Police Committee, In fts turn, should appear on the scene and lirstitute an enquiry on the matter which The Herald has placed before the public.The facts revealed by our contemporary are exceptionally grave, and are presumed to the repetition of analogous occurrences.On many occasions it has been said and published that certain policemen bad purchased their positions, and the trouble was never taken to throw light on such imputations.\u201cNow the measure is full, Everyone says on the street that the civic service cannot be entered without paying, and especially that constables\u2019 places are \u2018\u2018tariffed\u201d at $00.It is absolutely scandalous.Now, that is true, or it is not.1f true, we want an enquiry to catch the guilty ones, and put a stop to a system that is disgraceful and disgusting.If not true ,an enquiry will establish the facts.In either case an enquiry Is needed; if not, the members of the Police Committee may look for trouble on the day of rendering accounts, \u2018Let no one think that it is out of sympathy for Bergeron that we intervene in this matter.No; for we are not sorry for what happened to him.He desired to purchase a position, and this act was no more honorable than the act of him who sold.If he loses his $300, it will be his punishment, and he will not have stolen it.The duty of the Police Committee Is to immediately institute an enquiry.Mor- a'ity, the public interest and the honor of the city Imperiously require it.\u201d last following article, which after our ccntem- La Presse published evening the porary has paid its compliments to The Herald, some new and interesting matter.publish the article In full :\u2014 «The Herald of yesterday publishes a new scandal, offers in a number of newspaper offices and probably refused by all, since it alone has published it.It is always about a fee or a commission paid or to be paid to a third party for a position in the city\u2019s employ.\u201cAccording to our contemporary, a police lieutenant gave a Xr.A.Bergeron to understand that for $300 he could get on the police force; he even tried to get the money for him.Mr.Bergeron, having succecded in borrowing 250, deposited that amount, with $35 additional, or $285 In all, in the Ville Marie Bank, and is today without a position, without money, and in debt for $250.He is not pleased\u2014 that can be understood\u2014hence his complaints.\u201cFor us, we see nothing in this affair contains We our readers will find ringing coin.which can justify an attack against the aldermen.As to the part which The Herald attributes to Fortin, It 1s serlous enough to have the question treated with serlousness and not with that Insulting banter with which The Herald surcharges its articles whenever it attacks a French- Canadian employe or functionary.Llcu- tenant Fortin is alone concerned in this affair, which Is purely a question of discl- pline, to be dealt with by the Police Committee, before which body we hope the lieutenant will be able to give satisfactory explanations.\u201cHardly a week passes without an affair of this description being peddled about in municipal circles and in the newspaper offices.We had heard The Herald's story spoken of, but in much more serious fashion.We had suspended our enquiries, occupied as we were with a story still more scandalous than that of The Herald, We had been told that an alderman bad received $300 to get a man a position\u2014not on the police force\u2014that the man had not got the position, and that the alderman had kept the money.\\e asked for proofs, or at least affidavits, solemn declaratiois, of people connected wich the affair.We were brought a declaration which proved to us that there was not the least scandal: that no alderman was at all connected with the affair; that it was a simple and vulgar case of a go-between.It was simply a question of a simpleton hav- ins pald $240 to à gentleman who bad undertaken to procure him employment at the City Hall, This gentleman, not hav- lng succeeded, had returned the money, OT uearly all.That is all.On our refusal to publish this story, which would have involved us in a pretty libel sult, it was threatened to bring it to The Herald, and it will no doubt be read in The Herald one of these days.\u201cWhat does all that prove?Simply that there are about the City Hall, and the aldermen, a lot of go-betweens trafficking in City Hall situations.These go-be- tweens are of two kinds\u2014professionals and powerful electors.The professionals are they who glve part of what they receive to purchase the influence necessary to place their clients.This class of go-be- tween 1s the more dangerous, that it works with a skill which has hitherto secured impunity.As to those whom we call the \u2018big\u2019 electors, it is another matter.They have placed all thelr influence\u2014 ali at least that they, or others, think they possess\u2014at the disposal of an alderman.In return for their support, they ask that of the alderman for Peter, Paul or James for whom they desire such and such a position.It Is not for love of Peter, Paul or James that the \u2018big\u2019 elector works.He is more practical than trtat.He is influential; he has a right to approach aldermen, to ask of them something, and this right he converts into good A position on the police fcree is worth so much; in the brigade, so much, He does not always succeed; but he succeeds sometimes, when Ais protege Is acceptable.This protege, who has paid, is fully convinced that his money has gone Into some alderman\u2019s pocket.More extraordinary things have certainly been seen, but we candidly confess that all the facts of this nature that we have been able to study have brought us to the conclusion of the go-betweens having kept all for themselves.\u201che evil exists and 1s perpetuated by the fault of the people, who refuse to employ the simple remedy whlch it bas at its disposal, to eradicate it.When people decide to vote, without leaving it to be believed that they have been influenced by the big pots, X or Z, then aldermen and legislators will no longer believe in the influence of those blg pots, and will turn them out when they wish to trade on their supposed influence.\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2014 CHURCH PLEAS FOR HM Archbishop of Paris

overheated, had exploded, setting fire to the woodwork.the account published was entirely fictitious and imaginary.The Pullman car was never ou fire at all, and no damage whatever was done.The facts are that while one of the station hands was filling the cylinder underneath the Pullman car attached to the western train, he lighted a match at ithe mouth of the valve through which the Pintsch gas was injected, and the gas became ignited.He decided as the simplest way of suppressing the blaze to allow the gas in the cylinder to burn itself out.For something like ten minutes the little flame belched forth from under the car: and then it exhausted itself, but as stated, no damage was done.The woodwork of the car was not cven scratched.There were no reels, ladders amd cther preventing appliances In the station: ard the cylinder was afterwards filled with gas in the usual way, and the car rolled out attached to the train none the worse for the mishap, \u2014\u2014 mettre = ANOTHER

Latest Displeases Clement Scott.SO HE SLATES THE PLAY, \u201cHe Degenerates\u201d With Mrs.Langtry in the Leading Role, Called Stupid and Ordinary.New York, Sept.1.\u2014Clement Scott cables the following criticism of Mrs.Langtry's new play, by Sydney Grundy, \u2018The Degenerates,\u201d produced at the Haymarket Theatre last night for the first time: \u201cI was born a female.1 couldn't help it.Somebody blundered, and I have to suffer for it.\u201d Round this somewhat unsavory sentiment Mr.Sydney Grundy has written, not a play, but what we call in England a \u2018\u2018potboiler.\u201d It is not Mr.Grundy at his best or at his worst, but it is a kind of cheap stuff that 1s thrust on the best stage in England while Mrs.Langtry is in charge of it.When cats are away the mice begin to play, Mr.Cyril Maude and Mr.Frederick Harrison are on their holiday, and Mrs.Langtry, following the fashion, glves us another version of a vulgar suapshot society drama.| \u201cI was born a female; I couldn\u2019t help it.I have to suffer for it\u2019\u2019\u2014and soclety laughs at this sham cynlcism, applauds it, cheers, cracks any amount of white kid gloves, pretends It has witnessed a comedy, whereas It has really deplored one of clever Grua- dy\u2019s potboilers.In producing a play that Interests, you must have two things\u2014flrst, interest; second, good acting.\u2018The Degenerates\u2019\u201d bas neither.There is no Interest, so far as I can see, in a vulgar declasse woman who {insults her sex in every word she speaks, and in every sentiment she utters.There is no geod acting when pause succeeds pause, hesitation follows hesitation, and the grand old Haymarket js turned into a cheap academy of amateurs.And what is the play, when all Is said and done?Mrs.Langtry, as the heroine, enacts a heartless, brainless creature, given up to selilshbess, who is supposed to be converted to human nature by the reap pearance of her child from school.Even when her child comes she ls destitute of humanity.She does not awake one chord or a fibre of genuine feeling in her audience.Every character in the play is heartless and unreal, All are marred with vulgarity.And what cheap situations! \u201cYou are a devil!\u2019 says one man, \u201cIn that case we shall meet agaln,\u201d babbles another, and the curtain falls in a roar of applause.VERY INDIFFERENT KIND.\u201cThe Degenerates\u201d is a potboiler of a very indifferent kind.We have seen before a wicked woman who comes to her love's chambers to track the virtuous wife caught like a rabbit in a trap and saves hem from ignominy with a sneer.It is all very cheap, very nasty, but our English stage is deluged with such plays at present.Tha mania for such stuff will endure for a night, but joy will come to-morrow morn- ng.All is hollow, artificial and Insincere in the play, and cheap acting is common.Throughout the evening only one sweet, genuine note was heard, and that was from the amateur, Miss Lily Grundy, the daughter of the distinguished dramatist, She has never been on the stage before.She was destitute of experience, ignorant of her art, and gauche.Yet Miss Lily Grundy as this innocent, sweet school girl, was like a breath of sweet summer when contrasted with all this society slang, vulgarity and.unreality.All our old favorites failed us.Mr.Charles Hawtrey, as the society preacher, seemed out of his element and not at home.Miss Lottie Venne was indistinct, affected.Miss Lily Hanbury battled bravely with her part of the good woman whose virtue was sickly sweet, and poor Mrs.Langtry, with all her endeavors, could not help the lame dog over the stile., SUCH PLAYS WORTHLESS.Such plays as these are worthless.They cannot interest the general public or help the artistic actor.They are potboilers- nothing more.They will tell me to-morrow morning that there are countless thousands) of women \u201c1 was born a female.Couldn't Somebody bilundered, and I had to suffer for it.\u201d They would insist that it is all very natural and real.So it may be, but I do not like to hear a woman\u2014a oung woman or an old, fair haired or gray Paired applauding the sentimants.The worst of it is that Mrs.Trevelyan jn the play starts with being vicious and remains inertly vicious to the end.in spite of her daughter, who Is supposed to convert her.Well, it is an unsavory feeling, but I suppose society of to-day likes it and will let it pass.GERMANY NEXT IN LINE.Unless Steps are Taken to Protect Her in the Hinterland She Will Do Something Herself.London,

Matter One of Discipline.\u2014\u2014meu Interest at the City Hall yesterday centred in the proceedings of the Health Committee, when the case of Mr.McGibbon, park ranger, formed the subject of a preliminary discussion, resulting in a decision by the Committee to hold an enquiry into the charges preferred by Ald.Ouimet.Evidence will be heard at the next meeting of the Committee on Friday next, and an adjournment will then be had until the 15th Inst.to enable Mr.McGibbon to prepare his defence in the interval.The ante room of the Council Chamber, where the Committee met yesterday Was filled with aldermen and persons interested in the case of Mr.McGibbon.Ald.Stevenson was present and found occasion to speak warmly in favor of the Park Superintendent, for whom he demanded a fair trial.Mr.McGibbon, he said, had nothing to fear if the proceedings against him were conducted openly and impartially.Ald.Ames presided, and other members of the Committee present were Ald.Oul.met, Lareau, Laporte, Stevenson, Clearihue and Gagnon.The secretary of the Committee, Mr.Jules Crepeau, read the correspondence between the Mayor and Mr.McGibbon, which covered the issues in the case.THE CHARGES) Three weeks ago the Mayor had received from Ald.Ouiinet a number of athidavils in support of charges against Mr.McGib- bon.He had caused a summary of those charges to be sent to Mr.McGibbon, aud had received a reply from that gentleman which he naw forwarded, together with the affidavits.As he considered the charges were more a matter of discipline than otherwise had had not seen how he could interfere, and accede to Ald.Quimet\u2019s demand to at once suspend Mr.McGibbon.\u2018The charges against Mr.McGibbon, seven in number, were: being under the influence of liquor, ill-treating the laborers under his control, and threatening and insulting visitors to the park, delivering plants and towers from the park, feeding three horses on corporation fodder, not looking after the laborers sufliciently, reducing one man's pay 25 cents on day, and forcing one man to resume work before 1 o'clock.MR.McGIBBON'S DENIAL, Mr.McGibbon's reply to these was an emphatic denial of being under the influence of liquor on the park or otherwise.He had never insulted or ill-treated the employes, or used violence to or threatened visitors on the park.He had occasionally to reprove the men on the way In which they were working, and also to remonstrate with visitors to the park upon their actions and conduct; but he had never used violence.He always carried 4 stick, as he had often been threatened with violence when requesting that visitors obey the by-laws, He occasionally delivered flowers to charitable and religious institutions, to decorate for their various entertainments.The three \u201chorses\u201d referred to were small ponies.They were away on grass all last summer, and when put in the stables he hought feed for them from Messrs.J.Scott & Co., paying for it ont of his own funds, and for which he produced receipts.He also had a chestout mare at the park engaged in hauling all the water tanks from the pump to the different drinkign places for the use of visitors, and the water to Mr.McClananhan\u2019s restaurant, which the city had to supply.hauling manure from the barn to dump, and conveying the horse feed from the city to the park.He had never recelved any pay for the work done by this mare.He looked after all the employes to see that they did their works, and gave orders what to do whenever it was necessary.Ile was always to be found on the park, except when required to visit the city on the park business.He reduced one man\u2019s pay twenty-five cents on one day because, while he was engaged watering the roads It commenced to rain, rendering this work unnecessary for the balance of the day.He never forded the men to resume their work before thelr dinner: hour had expired on tha contrary, he treated them all civilly, and firmly.After some discussion arising out of Ald.Ouimet and Lareauw\u2019s desire for a prompt trial of the case, the following resolution was adopted : shat this committee adjourn until next Friday, when the evidence in support of the charges enumerated will be heard; that the charges then heard be confined to those concerning which affidavits now before the committee relate; that after hearing this evidence the committee shall rise until September 15th.to enable Mr.McGihhon, on his own application.to prepare his defence and procure his witnesses, and that meanwhile the whole of the documents relating to the charges be copied, and a copy supplied to every member of the committee as well as to the ae- cused.\u201d WANT BETTER FERRY SERVICE.Among other proceedings of the committee, it was decided to call upon the Richelieu & Ontario Company to give a better ferry service for the remainder of the season, as the present service is not satisfactory.It was also decided to repair the roof of the Montreal Golf Club pavilion.rt CALEDONIAN SOCIETY GAMES.The games to-day of the Montreal Cale- donian Society, it the weather is fine, promise to be quite as attractive as usual, which means a good deal.Among

with deciding the championship.Should Quebec defeat National this afternoon\u2014 stranger things have happened\u2014the champions will be out of the running for the flag.On the other hand, if Quebec 1s defeated this afternoon, and the Nation- a's turn down the Shamrocks in their next match, and Cornwall be defeated in the Queen City, the three teams, Cornwall, Shamrock and Nationals, will be neck and neck for first place, so that today\u2019s game will, no doubt, prove Interesting and draw a large crowd to Mfie End.CITY AND SUBURBAN LEAGUB, The Montreal juniors and St.Ann\u2019s lacrosse teams

SECEDERS.Brantford, Ont., Sept.1.\u2014There 18 no truth in the report circulated in Toronto that Canadian riders were disaffected and threatened to stainpede to the N.C.A.From enquiry among the

Davidson and T.B.McCarthy.The latter has been laid off from the Gendron firm, who, having entered the bicycle combine, will no longer maintain riders.Mec- © © + © ST-O\u2014® A % æ Le» \u20ac

first coecher.He coached Eve when she stole tirst.Adam stole second.When lsanc met Rebecca at the well she was walking with a pitcher.Samson struck out 4 good many times when he beat the Philistines.Moses made his first run when he slew the Egyptian.Cain made a base hit when he killed Abel.Abraham made a sacrifice.The Prodigal Son made a home run.David was a long distance thrower, aud

replied: \u2014\u201cWell, the pitcher\u2019s box seems to be a hill.The opposing batsman looks to be in a bollow.Their Lats look as big as telegraph poles.The home plate looks to be about the size of a postage stamp, and over a mile away.Your catcher looks like a dwarf, and the whole thing is like a nightmare.That is the way I feel when I am on a ballooning expedition.\u201d A SMOOTH FIELDER.\u2018Steve\u2019 Brodie can do more with a fly ball than any player I ever saw,\u201d sall *Biddy\u2019 McPhee.\u2018Steve can take \u2018em with cither Laud wilh his back turned.He can trap a Hy hit from the plate to the fence embankment, or can settle under the highest kind of a fly and catch it with his hands on his back.\u2018Steve\u2019 can do almost as many tricks with a fly ball as a trick Juggler.\u201d DAN BROUTHERS' SNAG.In \u2018Dan\u2019 Brouthers\u2019 long career he found one pitcher whom he could not hit safely, try as lard as he might.The pitcher was Beatin, a promising young man with the Cleveland club in 1889 and 1890, who went the way of all young men who squander the substance on riotous living.Beatin never pitched anything to Brou- thers but slow drop balls or slow straight balls, just as he varied his style.Brouthers would swing on the ball with all the might of lis arms, and either strike out or pop up a little ly.Beatin used to stand in the box and laugh at him.One day he got Brouthers so mad that the big fellow raised his bat as though be meant to throw it at the pitcher.The umpire cooled him off and \u2018Big Dan\u201d slow retreated to the hench muttering aloud, \u201cWhy don't lhe pitch ball like a man?\u201d THEY TOOK CARRIAGES.Since the Brotherhood war the managers of teams do not put on half the frills that they did before.\u201d In 1889 there was only one team in the league that did not take its players to visiting ball grounds in carriages.That team was Washington, and everybody knew when the Washingtons were in town, because the family \u2019bus would be drawn up in front of the hotel where the bull players stopped about two hours before the game begun.Open broughams were the only things that Anson would listen to for his players, and the men always presentod a tine appearance because they never went on tue field without clean uniforms.In the latter respect all players offend grossly nowadays.It they don\u2019t get enough salary to pa yto have their nniforms wasbed, the: management should bear the burden to remove an offence to the eyesight.WHO IS THE KING?Any one who saw Williams play in the recent series with Pittsburg will agree with me that Jimmy Collins, the recognized king of third basemen, has little or no advantage over the Pittsburg man.writes Grillo, in the Cincinnati Tribune.Williams In many rexpects is Collins\u2019 superior, and in no feature of the game in the games he played here did he show the least weakness.IS HELPING BOSTON.The sacrifice made by Mr.Freedman when, filled with a desire to sce Brooklyn fail of 1he chamrionship, he presented Jou- ett Meckin, a pitcher of great merit,, to Boston, is bearing the fruit intended, says the New York Herald.Mcekin proved a tower of strength yesterday, and to him alone Is due credit for the victory achieved by the champions at Pittsburg.Unfortunately for Mr.Freedman and his plans, Brooklyn insists on playing ball of a gilt- edged variety, and still maintains a comfortable lead.Fm APD SPS DS \u2014 © \u2014 BD DE i the big league as Montreal.a \u2014 ©\u2014o\u2014o\u2014e à \u2014\u2014\u2014 5\u2014\u2014\u2014È\u2014 000

the former champion pugilist, committed suicide in the Lexington Hotel, No.41 Lexington Avenue, Monday night, after his brother fTuxene had crippled himself financialy by the payment of bis brother\u2019s debts.Sullivan was well known in Jersey City, where he had lived many years, and had tuken an active interest in politics, being for some time a clerk in the Street and Water

Eph Miller to tell how he went out as a gypsy,\u201d advised a friend.Eph Miller is a character, known the county wide\u2014an inveterate, nay, a profs.sional horse trader, since \u201cswappin\u2019 \u2019\u2019 is his sole means of subsistence.heen, canny, shrewd, he is yet a kindly man of middle age, in appearance much older thaa he really is, and blessed with a dry humor which is the delight of his acquaintaaces.Just at present his favorite topic Is the unrighteousness of the trolley, the bicycle and the \u2018\u2018autermober,\u201d recent unholy Inventions which have seriously interfered with his trade.In an effort to follow the advice of the friend who had aroused curlosity as to the experience of Uncle Eph as a gypsy, the old horse trader was found lounging at the open door of his barn.\u201cYo\u2019 heerd tell ov thet, did yo'?\u201d he asked, when, after he had been convinced no horse deal was in prospect, the question had been asked.\u201cNot the story, merely the fact that you once did go out as a gypsy,\u201d was the reply.\u201cWell, it\u2019s some years ago now,\u201d said the old man, as he walked across the barn floor, and, picking up a half-bushel measure, brought it to the barn door, turning it upside down to use as a seat.\u2018Yo\u2019 see, business that time was dull\u2014doin\u2019 nothin\u2019.I hed four ole skates into th\u2019 barn an\u2019 no good hoss flesh t\u2019 help out.Over in th\u2019 nex\u2019 town there was a friend o mine, Jake Somers, in the same line ov business, In purty much th\" same fix\u2014he had three skates no one would hev at enny price.Well, we traded and traded until all his three had bin in my barn an\u2019 all ov my four hed bin In his barn an\u2019 hed all got back agin just as we hed started in th\u2019 tradin\u2019, for he couldn't sell or trade mine enny more\u2019n I could hisn.So one day him an\u2019 me hetched up t\u2019gether th\u2019 best ov mine an\u2019 the best, of hisn an\u2019 started out t\u2019 see if th\u2019 combinatfon wouldn't work.But we dldn\u2019t do nothin\u2019.Es we was ridin\u2019 along we struck a camp o\u2019 gypsies where they was tradin\u2019 hosses to beat th\u2019 band.D'yo\u2019 know a gypsy can trade a hoss where a Christian man ean\u2019t get a show?Well, it's so.It\u2019s an evydence ov th\u2019 gin- eral dishonesty ov mankind.There\u2019s a well-hefted belief that th\u2019 gypsies steal their hosses an\u2019 thet t\u2019 git rid ov them quick they'll let 'em go cheap an\u2019 thet, es it ain't s'posin\u2019 that a man'll steal a pocr hoss when he can steal a good one, why \u2018here's lots ov people thet thinks they kin git a good hoss cheaper from a gypsy than they kin from anybody else.Well, \u2019tain\u2019t so.Gypsies don\u2019t steal their Losses, but they're great jockies, I tell you, an\u2019 they ain't above lettin\u2019 people believe they steal \u2019em ef th\u2019 people Insist on so believin* an\u2019 ef it'll help a good trade, No, sir, there ain't no fly blown gypsies tradin\u2019 hosses.\u201cBut that ain\u2019t my story,\u201d continued the old man, bringing himself up with a round turn.\u201cWhile we was sittin® by a-wateh- in\u2019 an\u2019 I was thinkin\u2019 fur some scheme whereby I could run in our skates on to th\u2019 gypsies, divyin\u2019 up th\u2019 profits with \u2018en.Jake broke out all ov a suddint: \u2018\u201c \u2018There you are Eph,\u2019 he sed, \u2018there our steer.Let\u2019s you an\u2019 I fix up that there little furniture van you got with thet grey hoss that hed a jack in th\u2019 off hinder leg when you traded \u2018for your black pacin\u2019 mare, for a gypsy waggon an\u2019 takin\u2019 our seven hosses to go out on th\u2019 gypsy lay.\u201cI seed the game an\u2019 all there was in it on th\u2019 jump.\u2018It\u2019s a go,\u201d I sed.Well, sir, lessn a week we was out on th'road, th\u2019 van fitted up with two beds an\u2019 a cook stove, two hosses pullin\u2019 it, a buckboard tied on behind an\u2019 a string ov five hosses follerin\u2019.We struck luck th\u2019 fust day out tradin\u2019 one of Jake\u2019s hosses for a sum better skate an\u2019 five dollars to boot\u2014I say sum better\u2014guess he was, but while he was a good looker an\u2019 a good trader an\u2018 he]l a uppy-up sort o\u2019 way of carryin\u2019 his head, he wouldn\u2019t back, \u2019cause he couldn't\u2014hurt in th\u2019 backbone\u2014ah\u2019 ef you pulled him up sharp he'd come down on his haunches; goin\u2019 straight he was all right.But we was five dollars ahead on the deal.\u201cWell, th\u2019 nex\u2019 day we run up agin th\u2019 gypsy camp thet hed give us the idee ov startin\u2019 out an\u2019 I found thet I knowed th\u2019 head gypsy\u2014Gypsy George, he was called\u2014 a feller I hed traded hosses with before an\u2019 we was frien\u2019ly \u2019cause I hadn\u2019t never let him stick me an\u2019 I hedn*t never stuck him.Amongst Gypsy George's lot was a fine lookin\u2019 shapy brown boss, piump an\u2019 fai, clean limbed an\u2019 well hoofed.Thet brown hoss filled my eye at once an\u2019 I started in for a trade.So far es I could see th\u2019 boss was sound, but I krew sunthin\u2019 was th\u2019 matter \u2019cause Gypsy George hed hin.When I talked about tradin\u2019 George ses, ses he.\u2018You don't want that hoss, he's got th\u2019 blind staggers.\u201d I looked at George and see he was tellin\u2019 th\u2019 truth, an\u2019 I see, too, he wasn't anxious t\u2019 swap.1 reckoned he didn\u2019t want to swap fur th\u2019 same reason I wanted th\u2019 hoss.\u2018George,\u2019 I ses, \u2018I've bin runnin\u2019 in hard luck sometime.Let me hev fhe hoss an\u2019 I'll give yo\u2019 a good trade fur m , \u2018Well, th\u2019 short ov it ts he let me hey him, but I hed to give up two ov my ole skates.George wanted money, but we didn\u2019t hev any \u2018cept that five dollars an\u2019 we wanted thet for pervisions.\u201cWell, sir, thet brown hoss tho he uster git a fit ov th\u2019 staggers once ev'ry twenty- four hours, was th\u2019 mos\u2019 vallybul bit ov hossflesh I ever led anythin\u2019 t'do with.We traded thet hoss ev'ry day fur two weeks, gittin\u2019 ten, fifteen, twenty, even thirty dollars t\u2019 boot ev'ry time.When anybody pitched onto him fur to trade we allers sed, \u2018Thet hoss won't suit you, an\u2019 \u2018You don\u2019t want thet hoss.\u2019 But she never missed, for th\u2019 feller thet wanted t trade was certain we hed some game in not wantin\u2019 t\u2019 let fh\u2019 hoss go, an\u2019 hev it he would.But nex\u2019 mornin\u2019, reg'lar, hack he'd come, bright an\u2019 early, fur to swap back.Oh, we'd swap back \u2018cept we wouldn't give back th\u2019 money t boot.\u2018Thet was agin our principles.Yes, sir: thet hoss was th\u2019 best money-maker I ever hed.In two weeks we tuk in $180 on kim, an\u2019 hed th\u2019 hoss es well.\u201cBut we lost him at th\u2019 end of three weeks.Yo\u2019 see, one mornin\u2019 as Jake an\u2019 me was discussin\u2019 whether we hedn't better pull up stakes an\u2019 go furder, there came by a farime-\u2014an oldish sort ov a man, hair all over his face, grizzled, with a hig nose stickin\u2019 out ov th\u2019 hair, with two sharp eyes on each side ov it.ile was ridin\u2019 bare back a good lookin\u2019 likely bay hoss, thet hed a easy, prompt, cheerful galt, thet I liked the looks of right away.The farmer was carryin\u2019 a horseshoe in his hand, an\u2019 es you could see thet one shoe was often a foot of th\u2019 hoss, [ was certain he was goin\u2019 to th\u2019 blacksmith\u2019s to hev it put on.\u201cEs he was passin\u2019 he pulled up suddin- like, sort ov \u2018s'prised, ** \u2018Hullo,\u2019 he ses, \u2018What\u2019s this, Gypsies?\u201cHe hed a jerky way of talkin\u2019 in a loud voice.We \u2018lowed we could be wuss 'n gypsies, an\u2019 he ast ef we hed any stock to trade.Thets what we hed, an\u2019 while Jake was talkin\u2019 to him I was sizin\u2019 the bay he was on, an\u2019 th\u2019 longer I looked th\u2019 better I liked it.Well, he slid down from his hoss and pullin\u2019 the lines over his head led it up while he looked over our stock.Of course he got his eye on th\u2019 brown hoss to onct, an\u2019 we waited for him to break ground for a trade.\u2018Nice lookin\u2019 hoss,\u2019 he sed.\u201c Yes,\u2019 I sed, \u2018nice lookin\u2019 hoss.\u2019 \u2018\u201c \u2018How\u2019ll you trade for thls bay hoss o\u2019 mine here ?* *Oh, thet brown hoss won't suit you,\u2019 I sed Why not?What's \u2018He won't, hey ?wrong with him ?\u2018Oh, he ain\u2019t th\u2019 kind ov a hoss you want,\u201d I sed.\u2018Now, here's somethin\u2019 thet'l) suit you better \u201cI tried to pint out a sorrel mare to him.\u201cHow do you know what'll sult me\u201d he jerked out with a bigger volce.\u2018This brown hoss is what suits me.\u2019 \u2018I saw he was suspicious thet we didn't want to let th\u2019 brown hoss go, an\u2019 he was right in a way, so I sed : Prat don\u2019t want to trade thet brown hoss yo.\u2018Thet made him all th\u2019 hott an\u2019 he sed: er to git him \u201cI don't want nothin\u2019 here \u2018cept the brown hoss.Now how\u2019ll yo\u2019 trader t I looked his bay over.It was a likely lookin animal\u2014hed a meek eve, yet plenty ov fire into It an\u2019 es far as I could see was sound; hed no blemishes, an\u2019 his mouth showed up young.So I sed we'd take fifty dollars to boot.\u201c \u2018Let me ride him es far es th\u2019 corner,\u2019 ses he.\u201cI kin tell ail I want t'Enow about a hoss ridin\u2019 him thet far.\u2019 \u201cHe got on him an\u2019 went up t\u2019 th\u2019

Last Year.\u201cDollar wheat,\u201d according to a recent publication, is one of the dreams of optimistic traders in the wheat markets.This is not an unusual! condition of mind for wheat specu- Jators to be in.Dollar wheat means pros- perify to the farmer and the country, and active speculation and big bank accounts for the commission houses.It is a thing to be desired.Farmers pray for it, Board of Trade people predict it, and the newspapers pubiish every item of intelligence they can gecure which is calculated to help the thing aloñg.Much misinformation is thus disseminated, and it is difficult to form a correct opinion as to the real conditions.DEFICIENCY IN WORLD'S CROP.In the article referred to at the outset, a prominent member of the Chicago Board of Trade is quoted as saying that a deficiency in tXe world\u2019s wheat crop of 350,000,000 bushels, as\u2019 compared with last year, is a good reason for expecting dollar wheat.According to the latest estimates, last year\u2019s yield was 2,865,000,000 bushels.A reduction of 850,900,000 bushels would make the last crop 2,515,000,000 bushels, or 154,000,000 bushels larger than the average for six years previous to the bumper crop of 1898.When the very large surplus carried over from the crop of 1898 is added to the overplus of 164,000,000 bushels, there would seem to be Xo reason for a famine.It will readily be recalled that eight years ago there was a so-called Russian fanune and the exportation of wheat was prohibited by royal ukase.At that time statisticians ligured out that the wheat supply of the word had Weu-nigu disappearea, ana that lual Lhe vzar's., As a result of this coundl- tiou\u2014or supposed coadition\u2014of tuings, an via of wild speculation set in.Prices soared until they neariy touched

scattered broadcast by the newspapers, brougut in a flood of buying orders from the country.There was anothér seafon Oot wild specuiatior, which culminated at 79%c on May 3.DAMAGE NOT OVERESTIMATED.Perhaps the damage to winter wheat was not greatly exaggerated, and it is still believed that the shortage, as compared with the winter crop last year, will pe trom Juv,000,0vV bushels to 125,000,000 bushels.Syutuiation might have been suiliciently ac- uve and conlïüent -to sustain the May ad- vence both tor bearish developments in other directions.As harvesting of the next crop approached, it was proven beyond question that producers had been holding back large quantities of the old crop.This they threw upon the markets in June, July and August in such unexpectedly large volume that the visible was materially increased at a time when a decrease was naturally looked for.Last year the visible decreased 9,000,000 busirels during July and the first three weeks in August.This year there was an increase of 4,000,000 bushels, and at the present time our visibfo supply is more than six times what it was a year ago.Under such conditions it is not surprising that the price should have declined to 6s3çc on the 8th inst., notwithstanding the alarming reports of crop damage and famine from Russia.These reports, however, were offset by large shipments from Russia, Argentina, Australasia and the Danubian Provinces.The discouraging movement from those countries still continues, the last weekly statement of shipments showing about three times as large as for the corresponding week last year.Argentina and Australasia were out of the race last year, the former exporting but 208,000 bushels the last six months ot the year and the latter only 142,000 bushels the entire year, being at the same time an actual importer of American four, a very unusual if not unprecedented thing.ENGLAND IS THE BIG MARKET.The amount of wheat with which competing exporting countries can supply Europe is always a matter ot prime importance to American growers.England is by far the largest consumer of American grain, but breadstutis from India, Australasia and Argentina are always sure of an English market at equitable values, for the two former are English coronies aud the 1 atter\u2019s torelgn debt, a rather undesirable security, is largely held by Englishmen, who are glad to accept almost any kind of produce in reduction of the obligation.On August 1 the world\u2019s visible supply of wheat was 65,000,000 bushels more than on August 1, 1898.For the five months ending Jan.1 last the entire exports of wheat and flour from Russia, India, Argentina, Australasia and the Danubian Provinces\u2014practically everything exported except from America\u2014 were

wide-spread.Amecr- leans who had recently returned to thelr native land, afier passing some years abroad, assured me that they were keenly conscious of it.Muny of my acquaintances were opposed to the policy which brought about the Spanish war, and declared the better mutual understanding between Eug- land and America to be its one good result, Others adupted the vlew to which Mr.Kipling had given such far-echoing expression, and frankly rejoiced in the sympathy with which England regarded America's determination to \u2018take up the white man's burden.\u2019 In the Kipling craze as a Whole, after making all deductions, I could not but see a symptom of real significance.It was partly a mere literary fashion, partly a result of personal and accidental circumstances; but it also arose in no small degree from a novel sense of kinship with the men, and participation in the ideals, celebrated by the poet of British Imperial ism.\u201cThe change, moreover, extended beyond the book-reading class, wide as that is, in America.It was to be noted even in the untravelled and unlettered American, the man whose spiritual horizon wus bounded by his Sunday newspaper, the man in the street and on the farm.The events of the ast year had taught him\u2014and he rubbed is eves at the realization\u2014that England was not an \u2018effete monarchy,\u2019 evilly-dispos- ed towards a Republic as such, and dully resentful of bygone humiliations by land and sea.but a brotherly-minded eople, remembering little (perhaps too ittle) of these \u2018old, unhappy, far-off things, will- tng to be as helpful as the rules of neutrality permitted, and cager to applaud the achievements of American arms.rt AN UNCOMFORTABLE SEAT.The other day two young ladies hailed a street car in a large city, entered it, and found only standing room.One of \u2018nom whispered to her compan- icon, \u201cI am going to get a seat from one of these men.\u201d ! She looked down the row of men, and selected for her victim a sedate-looking gentleman.She sailed up to him and boldly orened fire.\u201cMy dear Mr.Brown, how delighted I am to meet you! You are almost a stranger! Will I accept your seat?Well, I do feel tired, I must admit! Thank you, very much!\u201d The sedate gentleman, a perfect stranger, of course, looked, listened, then quietly rose and gave her his seat, saying as he cid so: - \u201cSit down, Mary, my girl.I don\u2019t often see you out on washing day! You must feel tired! How's your mistress?\u2019 The girl got her seat, but lost her vivacity, ra BOYS WITH WONDERTUL RECORDS, The astonishing record recently made by a Loy cricketer calls attention to many other recent instances of boys who have astonished the world in one way or another.The Clifton College hoy of fourteen has broken all the English cricket records of Ranjit Sinhji by scoring the remarkable number of 62% runs and carrying out his bat.No other cricketer has ever come within 100 runs of the boy's total.The young Cliftonian has a rival record- Lreaker in Texas, where a boy named Pet- meeky has recently astonished local sportsmen by his almost Incredible shooting feats.The boy is the son of a gunsmith, and one of his favorite tricks is to snuff out a candle with a ball from his rifle at fifty yards\u2019 comes through a cousular report tu the State Department at Washington, The yield is estimated at od4,000,000 vusnels to 3os,uu, 000 busneis, against $60,000,000 bushels last year, with 31,00u,000 busaels to 42,UUU,U0U bushels carried over from 1593.The Mark Lane Lkxpress pronounces the English crop to be the best in ten years, but this possibly refers to tbe quality rather tnan vie quantity, which it is believed wilt fall somewhat sitiort of last year\u2019s bumper crop.Ho tar as immediate requirements are concerned, the United Kingdom is in a comiortable position, the lingush available on the first of the month having been 37,000,- (600 bushels, compared with 26,000,00u bushels à year ago and 21,000,000 bughels two years ago.- india has a fair surplus of old wheat for export, and is still sending it abroad quite freely, but there is considerable anxiety with regard to the next crop, seeding ol which will begin next month aad continue to January.The southwestern monsoon, which lasts from April to October, has not brought the usual amount of rain, and it is so late in the season if is feared that the sowings in the provinces affected may fare badly, though it is possible that the September precipitation may be sufficient to insure a fair crop.In the territory nourished by the northwestern monsoon, which blows from October to April, there is, of course, no apprelen- sion.America\u2019s exporting competitors are in a position to ship for the remainder of the year as much wheat as a year ago, and there is no reason to expect they will not do so.Should this be done less will be taken from America, as the European visible is now about 29,000,000 bushets more than a year ago.SURPLUS WILL BE EXPORTED.There is good reason\u2019 to believe, however, the most of the Canadian and U.S.exportable surplus will be required.Whether it will be accepted at present or better prices will depend on the offerings from other countries and their disposition to undersell America.ln comparison with last year, prices in Chicago and abroad are badly out of line.On Aug.19, December wheat in Chicago was 125; cents and May 13% cents a bushel nigher than a year previous, while northern Duluth was 1114 cents lower in Liverpool and homegrown English wheat more than 22 cents a bushel lower than a year ago.The abundance of foreign stocks might partially account for the weakness abroad, but one needs to be : more thoroughly familiar with the foreign situation to satisfactorily explain a discrepancy so astonishing.It is not understood on this side of the water.CHEAP DEGREES.The Way Alphabetical Letter Distinctions Are Obtained Froin Degree\u2014 Conferring Institutions.The following monthly: I have before me the announcements (if 80 they may be termed) of the Central University, No.537 E.Vermont Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, of which Albert Morlan is secretary, and Rev.Joseph Littell, Ph.D.is president, and the National University, No.151 Throop Street, Chicago, of which F.W.Harkins, LL.D., is president.The last named \u2018\u2018Institute\u2019\u201d\u2019 was fairly well aired not long since by the Montreal press, and its announcement is much more extensive than that of the Central, naming about forty or fifty degrees; and it would appear as if any applicant with orlirary qualifications could procure, by payment of the fee, any Bachelors\u2019, Masters\u2019, or Doctors\u2019 degree.These scheols claim to be chartered, and tach has a faculty composed apparently _of \u2018able men, judging from the degrees they possess\u2014but their residences are not mentioned in many instances, and it would appear to the ordinary observer that, as regards the secretary and president of the Central, they were the Faculty.Strange to state is the fact that ministers shouid be at the head of such enterprises, or connected with the several faculties.We have been told that Rev.Joseph Littell, Ph.D., president of the Central, is a Presbyterian minister, ard our informant is most reliable, and he also states that the Central was well exposed to public insight by Indianapolis news: papers.The ease with which such degrees as B.A., M.A., LL.B., D.C.L., Ph.D., can be procured from the Central is really enticing, and there appears no wonder when a Bachetor\u2019s degree costs $20 to $25, Master's degree from $33 to $50, and the Doctor's degree from $50 ta $75, that many Canadian ministers now attach such honored letters to their names.The readers of this article, if any way in- fuisitive, can easily find out who possess such honors, and for the honor of the Methodist, Presbyterian, or any other church, we think such of their ministers who hold degrees from the schools named should ba publicly censured.For the Rev.Doctor 19 becoming very common, and the M.A., B.À., LL.B., eto., minister whose alma mater is Central or National should be branded by the Church and society; for is there not an odor of green goods and imposition in a Measure connected with the assumption of such University titles?If such degrees are vecognized by the Conferences, Synods, etc., is taken from a college

universities\u2014Rev, brs.Dewart, Carman, Sutherland, withrow\u2014 are examples.Another fact is, that if such institutions, Or universities, as they are termed, are ta continue, our own duly chartered and estab lished universities might well give up their degree conterring fuuczions, and certainly will be scandalized.The term or name university is badly enough misapplied and dishouored when applied by business colleges, and the doctor\u2019s degree is being equally debased by its be- gtowal by many money-making schools ta dentists, vets., pedagogues, and pharmacists, but the Central and National will outrival the best multiform degree institution in existence, far superior to Toronto University or McGill.It is also becoming to those who take an interest in educational movements to especially interest themselves in exposing the degree holders of such named institutions ta justly deserved censure.Even if (as they claim) they state that an examination was held and other requirements have been fulfilled, there is so much of the \u2018\u2018Zreen goods\u201d character noticeable in the bestowal of such degrees, that the most careless observer cannot fail to read between the lines, and the ordinary observer has noticed of late many ordinary ministers as possessors of such degrees as Ph.D., M.A.D.C.L., and with these are apparently bewildering their congregations with the profundity of their learning, which is naturally supposed to be a parcel of such university titles.Ph.D.is given in Canada by the Toronto University, and D.C.L.is given only by Trinity ant McGill.and only the best scholars in law and the most eminent in the Anglican Church are given it by Trinity.Central and National appear, as you will notice in their announcements, to raise few restrictions in many instances às regards requirements except fees.tt FRIENDLINESS TOWARD ENGLAND An English Visitor to the United States Met on Every Hand Evidences of Good Will to

Why the sad monotone of the nir is a moan Like the groan of a lone child sobbing; Why the song of the bird of gay spring ls unheard.And my temples with trouble are throbbing.\\ In the bloom of the year you came to me, ear, With the glory of summer about you; But in gloom the parade of all nature must fade.For it cannot have pleasance without you! Ah! the chill at my heart, and its storm, Is a part .Of the winter that comes at your leaving, And the moan of the alr is my echoed despair, And the plaint of the grass is my griev- ng! Sweet Josephine Gray, little mald, won't you stay?For 1 dote on your prattle and iaughter, And in it I hark to the song of the lark Of a light heart that flutters long after.Come, stay! And whatever the weather, we'll never \u2019 See aught hut the sunshine you make us With the smile of your sweet little face and the wile .\u2018 Of a joy that shall never forsake ual an castern point at a good figure, but general business in this line is not very active.Orders for paints, oils, glasses, cte., are reported ahead of last August, and prices are all very firmly held.The strouy advance in cheese is a marked feature of the situation, and those who bave been predicting a 12 cent level would not appear to Le very far astray in their calculations.\"The money market presents no special

five years\u2019 penal servitude, \u201cWhat 1s the meaning of this?\u2019 asked the judge.\u201cWhy my lord.\u201d quoth the offender, \u2018yer see, I war released by your brother, the \u2019Ome

ceased to look as lovely as usual.So 1 gave him twenty and led the rour-legged graveyard home.1 kept him on grass ior a week or two and noticed that he began to pick up a little fcrm.This also attracted the attention of a coal-black gentleman whom I employ on my piace as a valet to the cows and lesser stock.One bright, dewy morning, he shuttled up and said: \u2018\u201c \u2018Boss, what yo\u2019 taak fo' de new hoss?\u2018\u201c \u2018Does some benevolent association want to buy him?I asked.The black gentleman grinned till his teeti shone like a monument builder's exhibit at a

York, Sept.1\u2014When Abraham Sapiro of Paterson, N.J., practised running in his boyhood days and earned laurels as a sprinter, ehe probably did not dream that some day he would haev to race for his life with competitors not of flesh and blood.Supiro has charge of the mixing vats at the Katz Brewery.Some of the vats were empty yesterday, and the opportunity of cleaning the machinery was considered good.In the centre of each vat is an upright shaft.To this are attached two sets of large padddles, the edges of which are sharp as knives.These are driven around at high speed and the boiling malt is thoroughly mixed.THE BLADES MOV.Sapiro had been cleaning and sharpening tlie huge blades, and told McKay, his assistant, to go to the next room and raise the lever that allows the malt to flow in.He wished to see if it was in working order.ile remained in the vat and a moment later was horrified to sce the great biades move.Sapiro also began to move, for he rightly concluded that McKay had raised the wrong lever and that he would have to keep moving until the mistake could be rectified.But fright had incapacitated McKay, who hezrd rhe cries of Sapiro and was soon at he ide of the vat.What he there saw trausti-xed him and robbed him of all pres- cee of mind.HIS DEADLY PACEMAKFERS.Sapiro, now racing about the little circle, might as well have been alone.He knew just how fast he had to go, for while one set of knives was pursuing him the other.moving at the same specd, was making pace for him.The pace finally reached its limit, and as Sapiro ran, fearful of slipping on the smooth copper bottom, he began to re- ulize that it could not last long.WOLUD DIE GAMELY.Already his limbs began to fail him and bis breath came hard and fast.But Sa- piro determined to die gamely, and thus his life was saved.A workman in a distant part of the building heard his cries.He took in the situation at a glance and signalled to the engincer.14.074 minute later began to slow up, and so did.Sapiro.of terror.It became more difficult for him to keep his distance from the awful pacers, even though the latter were going more slowly.Sapiro fell exhausted as they stopped.He was lifted out and taken home, suffering only from the effects of his race and the strain upon his nerves, A PECULIAR ROBBERY.Mrs.Buchanan's House, 39 Macgregor St.Seems to Have Been Used as a Boarding House by
