[" === pme ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT VOL.II.No.9.The Standard\u2019s The MONTREAL, CANADA.SIUDENTS [MPRE- DONS OF OXFORD.R.Stanley Royal Ashby, an American Rhodes scholar, in a recent issue of MacMillan\u2019s Magazine, describes his impression of Oxford University, as follows :\u2014 \u2018\u2018On the very evening of our arrival I eagerly sallied forth with a little group of Rhodes scholars to gain, despite the darkness, my first impressions of Oxford.Hearing the solemn bells of the city peal forth at frequent intervals, we strolled down dimly lighted byways, where occasionaly a street lamp showed us the solid walls, or barred windows, or quaint entrance of some college.Venturing cautiously within a gateway, we surveyed the big quadrangles, surrounded by dark masses of buildings, in which mysterious lights shone here and there to help out the strange, impressive genius of the place.Finally each of us hunted up the ancient college that was to be his new home, each man being deeply conscious probably, as I was when I peered within the walls of Merton, how far a cry it was from the home he had left beyond the sea.\u2018\u201cWe newcomers, however, had very little time for musing on art and poetry after term began.I had hardly finished with the odd experience of stocking a fairly complete domestic establishment, and become settled in my comfortable college quarters, when, on being introduced to some of my new associates, I found myself in the midst of college life.The hospitality with which I was soon favored much impressed me.I must say that the good old custom according to which senior men invite relays of freshmen to breakfast in order to give them a chance to ask questions about college life, to enable them to become acquainted \u201c With one another, and to give them a start in the traditional hospitality of Oxford, is a splendid idea, infinitely better than leaving the callow strangers to shift for themselves.Almost invariably the fault must lie in a man\u2019s own self if he feels lonely and out in the cold while attending the university.Some people, it is true, believe that sociability is overdone here, so that more serious duties are neglected in consequence, and this is possibly a just criticism in the case of men to whom serious duties are of minor importance.XR XP 2% Oxford Etiquette Very Stringent.\u2018\u2018But in all this hospitality some of us were conscious of a certain lack of warmth.This sensation was due mainly to two causes; not because we were received any the less cordially on account of our na- tionality\u2014for I gladly pay tribute to our new found friends in saying that we could not have been treated better if we had been born Englishmen\u2014but because of the characteristic difference in the manners of Englishmen and Americans, and because of certain features of time honored Oxford etiquette.As for the difference in manners, we found these chiefly superficial, and soon discovered that our new associates could be just as hearty friends, even if they did not wring our hands on being introduced, and say, \u2018I am very glad to meet you.\u2019 \u201c\u201cOne of the features of college etiquette to which I refer is a custom which enjoins that a freshman must not speak to a man of another year in the street unless he is first addressed by this exalted individual, who usually forgets to notice him even after entertaining him at breakfast.To one unfamiliar with the ways of the place this seems pure rudeness.But we Americans who sometimes forbid freshmen to carry canes, who sell the innocent vouths tickets to free privileges, such as riding in the university lifts.and who have been known to display a remarkable amount of ingenuity in devising many other ways of tormenting, can perhaps have little to say.\u201cThe regulations and restrictions of Oxford life, while having the pleasant savor of antiquity.cannot be quite as easily dismissed.It is no privation to be forbidden to play marbles or shoot arrows In the High Street.nor is it very irksome to wear cap and gown on the prescribed occasions.But to men who have been accustomed to live where they chose during their college days elsewhere.it is a decid- a pu pra gra EN 2 - | ER hamRE TT \u201cpy |= TT Standard.SECTION NUMBER ONE 171 ST.JAMES STREET.Remarkable Flashlight Illustrations of the Recent State Concert 0 TE TE Go TRI Br HOMIE > » YY THE STATE CONCERTS\u2014The illustrations on this page are reproductions of excellent flashlight photographs taken on the occasion of the - ow recent State Concert at His Majesty\u2019s Theatre, at which the Governor-General and the Countess of Grey, with other members of the Vice-Regal Suite, were present.The first picture shows the disposition of the vice-regal party in the lower boxes on the right of the proscenium, and, at the same time, reveals the effectiveness of the decorations of that section of the theatre.The second picture shows the orchestra, dress circle, and a section of the balcony, which divisions of the house were filled with a smart and well-dressed audience.It also reveals the elaborate character of the decorations.The vice-regal party consisted of Their Excellencies the Earl and Countess Grey, Lady Sybil Grey, Lady Evelyn Grey, Lady Alex.Beauclerc, Lady Victoria Grenfell, Lord, and Lady Ingestre, Col.and Mrs.Hanbury-Williams, Capt.Trotter, A.D.C., Miss Gladys Hanbury-Williams, Mr.Arthur Sladen, and Mr.Leveson-Gower.The occupants of the boxes in the first picture, reading from the left, are:\u2014Mrs.Hanbury-Williams, Lady Alex.Beauclerc, Lady Evelyn Grey, Lady Victoria Grenfell, Lady Ingestre, His Excellency, Lady Sybil Grey, Her Excellency.[Flashlight Photograph, by His Excellency the Governor-General\u2019s permission, taken for Dr.C.A.E.Harriss, by Homier, St, Catherine street, Montreal.] THE STATE CONCERTS\u2014Remarkable flashlight of the audience at His Majesty's Theatre during the concert given by the Philharmonic Society, M.Paur, and the Pittsburg Orchestra.At the left front of the illustration is an excellent picture of Dr.Drummond;

for, although England has few but gray days for her people in winter, she had, as some one has well said, more \u2018out-of-door days\u2019 than almost any other land.College rivalry is also a stimulus.Since tha comparatively small membership of each college is divided among so many different sports, it is highly desirable that each man should do what he can in some sport to uphold the athletic prestige of his own college among a score of rivals.Thus the man who does nothing in the way of athleties is severely condemned by college spirit ; and this is as it should be.\u201c\u2018But this widespread popularity of these sports, though worthy of emulation at all universities, does not teach us Americans a lesson so much needed, as does the manner of engaging in them.Nearly every one has heard of the recent interference of our President to check the brutality of our football game\u2014a brutality that none of us can deny.Uuhappily, it is this insane desire to win, instead of a sportsmanlike love of the game for the game\u2019s sake, that pervades all our sports.The result is that the American athlete, unlike the Oxonian, cannot play his game in the afternoon merely as a little healthy diversion and to give himself a clearer head, but is so dominated by the lust of vietory, that all other thoughts are driven from his mind.RR te RY 1 American Snap Is Lacking.1 \u201cOn actually beginning work at the university, we found the atmosphere that surrounds us\u2014since it is so different from the atmosphere to which most of us have been accustomed\u2014a very potent influence.Among other differences, that which seemed the most marked to me was the absence of the restless spirit of industry \u2018which is all-pervading at home and acts as a constant spur.The climate of Oxford has something to do with this lack of strenuousness, for the air is damp, heavy, and relaxing in its influence.The students\u2019 comfortable mode of life also makes in the same direction.\u2018The table of an American boarding house does not usually tempt one to linger after a meal, while at Oxford the custom of having several meals served in the students\u201d rooms enables congenial spirits to gather about a hospitable board in parties so pleasant that it is hard to break away from them.Indeed, the very hearth of an Oxon- \u2018an\u2019s den allures to sociability.A steam radiator or an ugly stove, on the other hand, being so distressingly prosaic in itself, discourages not at all that prosaic virtue, work.\u201cI am very willing to give abundant eredit to the Oxford freshman for being well prepared, as a general thing, when he begins residence here, to take up the work of the university.His training has not been so widely comprehensive as the training of the American freshman, who commonly has gained at least a valuable point of view in a great many subjects, but the training of an Oxford freshman, while on narrower lines, has, T am inclined to think.been much more thorough: and his knowledge appears to have become a more intimate part of him and less a mere acquirement to be lost in time.An interesting insicht into the learning of the budding Oxonian may be gleaned from observing his library. me + sv y > 2 HISTORIC LANDMARKS OF CANADA\u2014Group of Military Relics in the Historical Room of Fort Niagara, one of the many interesting relics of the War of 1812-14.(Written for The Standard.)

interested in the history of our land.Although primarily organized for the Niagara District, this Society deals with the whole of Outario in its work.It was in December, 1895, that there assembled in the Public Library at Niagara some half-dozen men and women, who had at heart the love of their country and a full and just appreciation of the fact that in their immediate vicinity we.e valuable

interested me was the cocked hat sent to General Brock, but which arrived after his death, the cause of this being the difficulty encountered in obtaining one sufficiently large, as General Brock has a remarkably large head.A photograph taken from a painting of old St.Mark\u2019s Church done in 1834, and one of Toronto in 1820, also proved most interesting.Old keys of the forts, old fire-irons, candlesticks, and similar articles were noticed among the large collection.The collection is a good one, and well worth a trip to Niagara to see.The Historical Room THE STANDARD, MONTREAL,

Church, New York, directs attention to the part played to-day by the \u201cinstitutional\u201d church in the crowded life of our big cities.Dr.Rainsford was formerly assistant minister at St.James\u2019 Cathedral, Toronto.During his twenty-three years of service at New York, Dr.Rainsford made the name of his parish known far beyond the bounds of his own denomination and country by his conspicuously successful application of the institutional church idea\u2014an idea, it is claimed, of purely American evolution.His reti®ement from active service at the age of fifty-five is the result of the nervous breakdown which sent him abroad a year ago.This collapse is the more impressive because, as The Sun remarks, \u201che was a man of remarkable physical vigor, and seemed | capable of sustaining any burden of responsibility and work that could be imposed on him.\u201d The same paper comments on the fact that similar calamities are more frequent among clergymen than among other professional men and men of affairs, and suggests that this may be because the emotional strain is so much greater in the case of a clergyman.The Brooklyn Eagle remarks editorially: %% RP RR A Worker Rather Than a Preaching Parson.\u201cDr.Rainsford has exemplified an ideal of the ministry which was rare when he began his work in New York, nearly twenty-five years ago.That the ideal of the working rather than the preaching pastor is more common today than it was then, is due as much to the example of this consecrated man as to any other one force.The general trend of churches in Manhattan all through Dr.Rainsford\u2019s ministry had been up town, in the wake of the people who could pay the pew rents.The implication was that the churches existed primarily for the service and convenience of the people who paid the bills.Against that tendency Dr.Rainsford set himself.St.George's is in a neighborhood which used to be fashionable, but has now been filled for the most part with a population of working people, part of the vast hive which live in cheap flats and tenements, and among which the prosperous families are those where mother, father, and children all work for wages.Dr.Rainsford has turned St.George's, a church with wealthy vestrymen and supporters, into a parish home for these working If all the churches of this city for the past fifty years has conducted as St, George\u2019s has been conducted, we should | have heard very little of class distinc- | families.been tions in church, and the problem of the \u2018unchurched masses\u2019 would never have arisen.\u201cThe tendency of churches all over the city to-day is toward institutional work, in the wake of St.George's.The churches moving out of the HISTORIC LANDMARKS OF CANADA\u2014The home of Sheriff Hamilton at Queenston, Niagara, built in 1834 \u2014one of the principal mansions in that section of the Province of Ontario.value of that work, not merely to the churches, but to the citizenship of the town, is beyond computation or estimate.In that work Dr.Rainsford was one of the pioneers and great moving forces.It is now so well established that the retirement of Dr.Rainsford will hardly check it, and for that reason his loss will be less severely felt than it would have been had illness overtaken him ten years ago.\u201d ee XR RR Great Good Done by the Institutional

dramatic society, a clothing and tailoring department, a battalion club (which furnished recruits for the Spanish war), and other lay associations of the most practical nature.\u201cThe institutional idea grew up to meet an emergency.Discussing it not long ago, the Rev.Dr.Tolman said: \u2018Two hundred thousand new people moving into New York below Fourteenth street and seventeen Protestant same neighborhood in the same period shows that the old-time church failed at a certain point.An institutional church in the same neighborhood will be jammed to the doors.\u201d St.George's, a little above Fourteenth street, illustrates the case.It was about to remove its remaining handful of people uptown perstitious about its supposed fatal omen, and they begin to call it \u201carbol maldito\u201d (cursed tree).The tree is supposed to be more than seventy-five years old, and is said to have been planted by a man who, because of his enormous crimes and his forgetfulness of the divine law, was swallowed up by the earth.The man never went to mass, never confessed, did not have the image of a saint in his house, did not carry a rosary around his neck, and never made the sign of the cross.There was not a beggar in the town who had ever received a \u201ctlaco chiquito\u201d (old coins equivalent to 115 cents) from him.He never gave anything for the church, and never took off his hat when he met a \u201cpadre- cito\u201d on the street.It was rumored that he was responsible for many murders and other atrocious crimes, but he was never in jail; neither could he be incarcerated, because he had a compact with the devil, and whenever he invoked his satanic majesty the latter rendered him either invisible to human eyes or gmall- er than an ant, so that he could easily escape danger.He had no friends nor relatives, because he was shunned by all.Two things he loved, birds, and trees, He planted numerous trees and fed big flocks of birds that knew him, and came to his home every morning to pick the crumbs of bread which he threw in the patio.Many years ago, and this is well remembered by the peasants, it was Good Friday.Everybody in town had attended the religious services of the morning, and they were going to their homes, when a terrific noise was heard.They rushed to the street, where it came from, to find out what it was, and saw how the earth had opened under the cursed man\u2019s feet, He was envei- oped by thick flames and smoke, and disappeared beneath the surface of the earth.This was considered a most deserved punishment.\u2018While the faithful were in the church the cursed man was loafing around, and, having seen a big crucifix upon an altar erected on the streets, as was done in those days, he placed a burning cigarette in the lips of the image.Scarcely had he made eight or ten steps, when he was engulfed by the inferno.- That day, all the trees he planted, except the cursed one, dried up, and all the birds he had fed, died.- An attempt was made to cut down the tree that had not dried up, but the man who made the attempt dropped dead on stepping upon the shadow of its foliage.The man\u2019s body had to be left there to be eaten by crows, because nobody had the courage to approach and remove it.Since that day numerous persons have met a tragic death under that tree.A pedestrian who went under it for shade on a hot summer day was bitten by a snake, and died hours.in two Three men on different occasions sought shelter from rain under its branches, and were struck by lightning.A woman who was hanging some clothes to dry from the trunk of the tree was attacked and killed by a goat that came from nobody knows where, and that was never seen again.Two years ago a little boy was riding a burro, and innocently led his animal to the tree.The burro threw him off and kicked him to death.The last victim of this fatal tree was a man named Melquiades Arevalo, who, a short time ago, during a heavy rainstorm, ran under the tree for shelter.Like his predecessors on such occasions, he was struck by lightning.NN HISTORIC LANDMARKS OF CANADA\u2014Remains of Navy Hall at Fort George, Niagara, the former home of the

INTRODUCTION TO SERIES, CONSIDERABLE portion of the H glory of Canada is vested in its feudal fortresses.They are nearly all situated within the confines of the Province of Old Quebec, and an endeavor will be made, in this series of articles, to throw an interesting light on their histories.It is not necessary that a castle shall be a tremendous edifice.The house of the Vanderbilts at Asheville, with its great proportions and cost of millions, puts the Canadian Chateaux in the shade in respect of size and architectural magnificence, But the Vanderbilt\u2019s house smells only of chicane and of trade: there is no spirit of romance about it.Besides, it is not a castle, because it is not the capital of a feudal district.It did not originate in a feudal fief by a royal warrant as the residence of the lord of a barony or manor.It has been said of one of the humbler Canadian manors that one might \u201cput his arm down the chimney, and unfasten the door from within.\u201d But there were certain lordly prerogatives attached to that humble dwelling, which would have made such an infringement of its dignity more reprehensible than the utter demolition of the palace of the \u201cparvenu\u201d millionaire.RE ÉB BR Strong Enough to Withstand Assault in War-Time.The degree of prerogative in Canadian seigneuries, or manors, is not bounded by its territorial limits in the understanding of feudal laws, for one sovereignty equals another in its attributes, though the territories may be very dissimilar in extent, each to each.The Seigneur was magistrate and captain.He held court for his tenants in a room of his castle,\u2014even if that resembled a log-cabin.This castle was also the armory for those of his tenants who served in his company of musketeers or cavalry, and the hall of Saar am arr THE STANDARD, MONTREAL, consent of the next heir, and of the King, and on the payment of one-fifth of the purchase money into the Royal Treasury.That there were sales or transfers of seigneuries without consent of the King, only shows that distance and distraction of affairs prevented the exact enforcement of the law.It is a principle of the Frankish or Salic Law that feudal possessions must go with nobility of blood.Hence, every Seigneur, from the fact of holding land on feudal tenure, was deemed noble.When, however, the seigneurial rights, which had been conferred on the land by the nobility of the possessor, were transferred by purchase of the fief, both in France and in Canada, on some one who was not noble, it required an ordinance of the King to curb the pretensions of this new class of persons.This ordinance reads that: \u201cThose not noble, obtaining seigneuries by purchase, shall not be deem- EE HISTORIC LANDMARKS OF CANADA\u2014The

Transfer was Valuable.From this, it may be seen how valuable was the consent of the King to the transfer of a fief, if for no other purpose than for the recognition of the rights of the noblesse, which could not pass without that consent.The King.as chief of the nobles, was their sponsor as well.Now, one would think that this noble =\" ~\u2014 CANADA.HISTORIC LANDMARKS OF CANADA\u2014The

three and four hundred pounds each.I saw chunks of silver and rock the size of a paving brick which I could not lift.Indeed, much of the ore makes me think of the almost pure copper nuggets which one finds in the Lake Superior mines.These veins of silver are not regular in width nor do they run even throughout.Here and there branch veins jut out from the main one like the veins of a leaf, and the ore has everywhere soaked into the adjoining rocks.\u201cSo far, the work here is more like stone quarrying than mining.The vein with the rock on both sides of it is blasted out, and the best of the ore bagged up in sacks.The country about is cut up by long trenches faom ten to twenty feet deep, and five or more feet wide, which have been blasted and cut out of the rock to get the ore.The sides of the hills are quarried where the vein breaks out, the veins being followed in this way for long distances.\u201cSo far, no one knows how deep down \u2018the silver veins go.The geologists say that the silver will lessen in extent as it descends, and it 1s claimed that this has been the case in the Tretheway Natassia, mine and in some of the Earle properties owned in part by the Standard Oil Company.The deepest mine so far sunk is the Timmons mine, In this, a shaft has been put down beside one of the veins to a depth of ninety feet, and the vein is found to be wider and richer as it goes down.This mine has already shipped about 200 cars of ore in bags, the output being worth at the least $500,000.RR FR RFP The Vast Extent Of the Mines.\u201cMr.Joseph C.Houston, the manager of the O\u2019Brien mine, tells me he believes the ore to be a primary rather than a secondary formation, and that it will grow richer as tne excavation goes down.Major Morrison, of the Ottawa Citizen, who has mining properties here, has the same belief as to richness in regard to depth.He considers SN 3 HISTORIC LANDMARKS OF CANADA\u2014Monument on the St.Road, Quebec, commemorative of the Battle of

defined, is about three miles square, with the very richest mines within a radius of two miles.It embraces Lake Cobalt, and there has been a proposition to drain the lake in order to mine the veins that are under it.This has not been permitted by the government.There are now men digging out quantities of ore within ten feet of the banks of the lake, and the veins there are so plainly marked that the refuse is carried out in wheel-bar- rows and dumped on the shores.RR HBR RE Tunnels to be Made Under bed of the Lake.Tunnels will probably be made under the bed of the lake to get out the ore,

human form divine of first importance.This rule has been given us as an un- debatable fact since one can remember.But the French are quick to see an advantage, whether the idea be English, American, or Continental, and adapt it to their use from all sources with inimitable magic, sending back to its originator a garment, with not a rule of their own sacrificed, yet sug- ite in color and line,

By E.Pauline Johnson.OW that there is such pronounced interest dis- ; played by both people and politicians regarding the possibility of Newfoundland coming into Confederation, we are all stirring in our sleep, waking to the wonder of our hitherto indifference to the attractions of our splendid little Sister of the Seas.As Canadians, we are asking ourselves why we have \u2018\u2018holidayed\u2019\u2019 so persistently to the United States, the West Indies, Mexico, and even Alaska, while here at our door, rugged and regal in her isolation, lies the very oldest colony Great Britain possesses, a colony teeming with beauty, novelty, and every attraction one can name to allure the holidaymaker and the sight-seer to her shores.Until a very few years ago, Newfoundland was comparatively inaccessible to the tourist.It was an overlooked corner of civilization, undesired because unknown; but the sturdy little colony continued to thrive all by itself, scintillating in its setting of north Atlantic waters, a small but rare Jewel in the British Crown.RR RP BR The Remarkable Politeness of the Natives.Then came a new era, when the Reid capital spanned the Straits of Cabot with the rapid ocean-go- ing steamers, and traversed Newfoundland with the luxuriously equipped railroad, the comforts and service of which are not to be outdone by any similar system in America.Thus were the doors of the colony opened.Its Canadian cousins began to think of visiting their relatives; Newfoundlanders exchanged the visits, and wherever you may find a Newfound- lander in Canada, you find a sturdy, industrious, genial gentleman, who is never at the foot of his class.The first impression one receives upon landing at Port aux Basque, is the politeness of \u2018\u2018 the natives\u2019\u2019; and, marvellous to state, even the customs officials, usually such bears elsewhere, are the personification of gallantry and courtesy.In the small seaport village clustering about the cliffs, beautiful flaxen-haired children meet you as they hurry schoolward.They smile, but do not stare, and without exception, the tiny boys lift their caps to you, it matters not whether you are man or woman.The politeness and beauty of the Newfoundland children I have never seen equalled; in the remotest fishing village, or the streets of the capital, it is identical.They are independent children, too, with not a servile bone in their little bodies, but possessing that peculiar inbred deference to elders and strangers that charms you instantly.Their little faces are like flowers, wind-blown, with cheeks of roses, skins like cream, and hair like a curly maze of yellow floss.On a recent trip through Michigan, I observed that out of every twenty school children, about twelve wore glasses and eight had weak eyes.In the six weeks I spent in Newfoundland, I never saw one single child who wore glasses, and only one with weak eyes, and he was a tiny cripple.RR XR RR Stranger Impressed by the Oddity of Place-Names.And these little fellows are splendid students, attending school daily, and standing well in their examinations.The schools of the entire colony are \u2018\u2018Separate\u2019\u2019 to the greatest degree.Each tiny fishing station has its three or four WITH ROD AND GUN IN NEWFOUNDLAND\u2014A Monarch of t at 300 yards.schools, not Roman Catholic and Protestant, but Protestant denom- national schools.Thus, in a village of three hundred inhabitants, there will be the Roman Catholic, the Anglican, the Presbyterian, the Methodist, and the Baptist schools, all under Government supervision, and all teachers fitly qualified.One never hears of \u2018\u2018school question\u2019\u2019 there; things are amicably arranged, and there is no friction.The second thing that impresses the outsider is the oddity of the named Heart\u2019s Ease.The prevalence of the name \u2018\u2018Tickles\u2019\u2019\u2014 such as Leading Tickles, Indian Tickles, ete., owes its christening to the fact that such harbors are difficult or \u2018\u201ctieklish\u2019\u2019 to enter, and a vessel needs good piloting to make these ports.The third impression you gain is the utter superiority of the Newfoundlander, in his own estimate, to the average Canadian.He will always ask you \u2018\u2018where you are from.\u201d You reply, with pardonable pride, that you are a

the knowledge that you have come from \u2018\u2018Up Along,\u201d\u201d which, I surmise, is an abbreviation of up along the coast.Then they speak of Labrador as \u2018\u2018The Labrador,\u201d which reduces that territory to a suburb.XR RR Paid by Weight of The Season\u2019s \u2018\u2018Catch.\u2019\u2019 All the men-folk in the fishing villages hie themselves to \u2018\u2018 The

Maritime compatriot is a domestically inclined person.He has his little fluek of goats (the island is simply overrun with goats), his two or three great dogs, and his rough little Tor Bay nag, all clustering about his door; but, strange to tell, one never sees a really thorough-bred Newfoundland dog.The blood has become \u2018\u2018colliefiad,\u201d\u2019 and the hair has lost its curl, and the animal its erstwhile size.A seemingly cruel law obtains throughout the colony regarding these dogs, every one of which must have attached to its neck a wooden clog, weighing seven pounds, and measuring eighteen inches in length.These clogs are frequently fastened by a length of heavy iron log-chain.The poor creature goes through life hampered by this monstrosity.Its gait becomes marred, and its forelegs battered and bowed.In the ancient Capital of Harbor Grace, they have these lines as a common saying :\u2014 \u201cEighteen inches of wooden clog And seven pounds, or I'll kill your dog.\u201d When Sir Henry Arthur Blake, now Governor of Ceylon, was \u2018His Excellency of Newfoundland.Lady Blake made a special pil- Nps grimage about the colony, trying to induce the various municipal magnates to abandon this \u2018\u2018dog law,\u201d\u2019 but the gracious lady met with no success.The little colony 1s too conservative to change even for the sake of one of the sweetest women known in British governmental circles.But if poor Mr.Doggie is hampered, the little shaggy Tor Bay nag has freedom.He is a wonderful creature, bred at Tor Bay, and appears indigenous to the soil.Through long generations, his sires have climbed the precipitous streets and road, until now their offspring are actually born \u2018\u2018toeing in,\u201d\u2019 their tiny hoofs clinging to the rock and shale, shod only with their native agility.XR XR 2 Struggled Through Devastating Fire and Bank Failures.When one thinks of the city of St.John\u2019s, one sees the hurrying, motley mob of genial islanders, gay soldiers, rollicking blue-jackets, in its hilly streets.Their lightsome hearts know nothing of those bleak days, when the beautiful city lay in ashes, and later, when \u2018\u2018Black Monday\u2019\u2019 closed the doors of every bank with its fingers of death and dread.How bravely, how heroically Newfoundland struggled through these two calamities no one can ever realize; but she did struggle through, lifting her valiant little head above fire and failure, retaining her individuality, preserving her pride in a manner that many a larger, wealthier country might envy.When you have been privileged to see her glorious sea-board, her ships, her merchandise, her rich forests, you cease to marvel at her pluck, for she has mothered men who turn these things to good account, and whose loyalty to her never lessened throughout her dark days.A WITH ROD AND GUN IN NEWFOUNDLAND\u2014\u201cThe Needles,\u201d (Photograph contributed by E.Pauline Johnson.) a picturesque

in Scotland, 2; and other two English members\u2014Mr.J.W.Taylor, M.P.for Chester le Street, and Mr.T.Richards, M.P.for Monmouth\u2014though, from practically accidental circumstances, they were not run as Labor Representation Committee candidates, had since signed, or would sign, the Committee\u2019s constitution.They would, therefore, have a solid party of 31 members in the new Parliament.EE RR RR How the Memorable Fight was won.Mr.McDonald attributed the success of the Labor Party to the fact that the movement had not been merely a Trade Union or working class propaganda, but something far wider.They had laid down certain lines of national advance, which promised assistance quite as much to the honest capitalist as to the Trade Unionist.It was the Labor Representation Committee\u2019s work that had saved the industrial centres of England from voting Protectionist.Outside Lancashire\u2014where the special cireumstances of the cotton trade made a Protectionist policy hopeless\u2014the working men would not have supported a mere Free Trade propaganda which had \u201cSHEEP IN PASTURE\u201d\u2014This illustration depicts a rural scene near Goderich, Ont., as photographed by Mr.R.R.Sallow, of that town.nothing to offer them.The Labor Representation Committee\u2019s programme had been Free Trade plus everything else.\u2018\u201cWe said to the working men\u2014readjust your burdens so that local taxes may not be so heavy as to handicap you in competing with the Germans.Do not allow your railways to charge you these heavy freights, or to keep your canals which they have bought up lying idle.Clear out these old-fashioned capitalists who stick to antiquated methods and plant.\u201d \u201c\u201cThe keynote of our whole elec- | tion literature,\u201d Mr.McDonald went on, \u2018\u201cwas the idea of lopping off income that is coming to those classes who render no service for it, and using it for local and national government\u2014the only communal object to which we can yet apply it.Such policy appealed to many outside the Trade Unions.When we called attention to the fact that in this country the sums The Standard\u2019s Empire War Medals Series.a 3 D % + War Medal Awarded for General Service, 1793-1814 and Medal issued to Hanoverian Troops for Waterloo, 1815 Military General Service Medal, 1793-1814.N THE 1st JUNE, 1847, Her Majesty Queen Victoria commanded that a medal should be struck to record the services of her fleets and armies during the wars, commencing 1793 and ending in 1814, and that it should be conferred on every officer and soldier of the army who was actively engaged between these dates.On the obverse of the medal is the diademed head of the Queen, with the date of issue\u20141848\u2014 below.Above is the legend, Victoria Regina.Reverse\u2014Upon a dais, the Queen, robed and crowned, stands, placing a laurel wreath upon the head of the Duke of Wellington, who kneels before her.By the side of the dais is the British lion couchant.Above is the legend, To the British Army, and in the exergue the date\u2014 1793-1814.The recipient\u2019s name and regiment are indented on the edge.The ribbon is crimson, with blue edges.Twenty-eight bars in all were given, two for services in the West Indies, three for services in North America, one for Egypt, and the remainder for the Peninsular War.Fifteen bars on one medal was the largest number awarded to any soldier.The three bars awarded for North America were as follows :\u2014 Fort Detroit, 16th Aug., 1812;

and if the owner hinted at possible future depreciation, we would say to him\u2014\u2018 Very well, we will buy the ground from you.\u2019 22 \u2018Personally, you believe in the nationalization of all capital?\u2019 \u201cOh, absolutely! Though, of course, I recognize that that is a long way off.\u201d RR RR EE) Relation of Labor and Liberal Parties.\u201cYes.But there will come a point at which those who go with you now in regard to land values, for example, will oppose you.\u2019 \u2018\u201cThe point will come, but before that time we shall have educated the people up to the idea of proceeding along Socialistie lines, and thay will see that every eco- nomie problem bearing on the burdens of government and the increase of wealth can be solved only on these lines.\u2019\u2019 In answer to a question as to the bearing of all this on the relations of the Labor party to the Liberal party, Mr.McDonald said \u2014\u201cMy idea is that at present the Labor party and the Liberal party are both on their trial.We are asking the country to make certain experiments, and, according to whether these promise success or failure, the future of the party will be decided.\u2019 \u201cYou do not think, then, the prospect of ultimate fusion with the Liberal party is hopeless?\u2019\u2019 \u201cI would not put it that way, because it might be misunder- THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL\u2019S TRO- PHY\u2014Members of the Ottawa Curling Club who competed in the recent bonspiel at the Montreal Rink.\u2014\u2014 stood, but what I do think is that a new line of political advance has been opened up, and that in the future, as in the past, we shall have only two parties\u2014a reactionary and a progressive party.\u2019 STANDARD'S Half-Tone Illustrations.Applications will be received from parties wishing to purchase the Beautiful Half-Tone Cuts, that appear weekly in THE STANDARD.Address, Manager, Standard Office.Curling pe 7% = re ei M, ti 2 à .+ 4 } WELL-KNOWN MONTREALER ABROAD\u2014Ex-Mayor Dunlop, of Outre- mont, Que., and a group of residents of Jamaica, B.W.l., an island that he recently visited, .- wm em ee ofl.A \u2014 ag ape \u2014 wr 2 Oe r=."]
