4.HB.Holmes the Murderer Expiates His Crimes, \u2014\u2014 we DIED PROTESTING HIS INNOCENCE.A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.Philadelphia, May 7.\u2014 Howard W.Mud- gett, alias H.H.Holmes, was hanged this morning in the county prison for tne killing ot Benj.F.Pietzel.The drop fell at 19.12 o'clock, and twenty minutes later be was pronounced dead by the prison officials, Dr.Sharp and Dr.Butcher.The execution was in every way entirely devoid of any sensational fea- - tures: To the last he was self-possessed and cool, even to the extent of giving a word of advice to Assistant Superintendent Richardson, as the latter was arranging the final details.He died as he had lived, unconcerned and thoughtless apparently of the future.Even with the recollection still vividly before him of HOLMES.H.I.the recent confession in which he admitted the killing of a score of persons of both sexes and in all paris of the country, he refuted everything, and al- mest his last words were a pointblank denial of any crimes committed, except the deaths of two women at his hands by malpractice.Of the murder of the several members of the Pietz:l family, be denied any complicity, particularly of the fatner for whose death be stated he was suffering the penalty.Then with the prayer of the spiritual attendants still sounding in his ears, and a few low spoken words to those about him, the trap was sprung, and beyond a few incidental peost-morten details, the execu- rion, which culminated one of the worst rrixninal stories known to criminology, vas ended.Philadelphia, Pa., May 7.\u2014There were romparatively few persons gathered on the outside of the county prison during the early part of this morning, and the throng which the prison officials expected would be drawn there because of the exe- ution of H.H.Holmes was lacking.The \u2018act that Holmes would be hanged within prison walls made the sightseer's inission fruitless, but the celebrity of the ave it was believed would attract a :arge crowd.Tie persons holding tickets of admis- to the jail began to assemble a as 8.30 o'clock and at nine o'clock \"tev passed within the iron gates.Mr.Poran declined to say whether Holmes {r'ended to make any restitution to Mrs.: «tzel or provision for any of the three \u201cmen to whom he was married.Pressed von this point, the lawyer evaded any viv for a time, and finally said he was - fn a position to make public what the 2 !emned man had directed him to do this connection.If anv one gets ar-\u2018hing from Holmes's estate it will be Miss Ida J.Belknap, who \"i: the second woman the murderer | She is living at Wilmette, a suburb of Chicago, and has with Le- the six-year-old daughter of whom sion early co tably t'arried.t likely to know where the grave is to be will not divulge the place.Up to a late bour, it is said, that the undertaker had not been decided upon.Whoever may finally have charge of the burial if it should take place at once, will have to file some time to-day after the execution, à \u2018return of a death,\u2019 with the Board of Health.This must give the name of the deceased, his color, sex, age, married or single.date of death, cause of death, occupation, place of birth and date of burial.Mrs.Pietzel has decided to remain in Philadelphia un'il she is certain whether she cat some of the money of which Holmes defrauded her.There is an obscure chance that the murderer may have made a will /and the wronged woman hopes in that event to obtain at least part of that to which she is entitled.Mr.Thomas Faby, Mrs.Pietzel\u2019s lawyer, has little hope that Holmes has made voluntary restitution to his client.He says that in his opinion it will be necessary for him to attach the murderer's money if he wants any if it.Mr.Arthur McDonald, the United States Government criminologist, arrived here last night from Washington to attend the execution.Mr.McDonald has paid several visits to the condemned man since his incarceration and has made a careful study of the criminal.The criminologist believes that crime is due more to conditions than heredity.He is of the opinion that Holmes was, in many of his crimes, a victim of circumstances.secure THE MURDERER'S RECORD.Herman W.Mudgett, better known as H.H.Holmes, was one of the most conspicuous criminals of modern times, and if the \u2018murder confessions\u2019 which he has written can only be partially believed, he was without a peer as a blood-thirsty demon.His recent ingenuous \u2018confession\u2019 whereinhe claimed to have killed twenty- seven persons was disproved, partly at least, by the appearance of several of the so-called victims; but Holmes's object in making the \u2018confession\u2019 was realized, the obtaining of a sum said to be $7,500, which amount is said to have been settled uron the criminal'\u2019s eighteen-year-old son.While the \u2018confessions\u2019 have served to increase the sensationalism of the case, the only capital crime for which Hcimes had to answer was the killing in this city on Sept.2, 1894, of Benjamin Pietzel, his fellow corspirator.The murder was committed in the dwelling, No.1318 Callowhill street.Holmes\u2019s conviction of murder in the first degree, the affirmation by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court of the verdict, and the recent refusal of Governor Hastings to grant a respite are so well known that a narration of these facts is unnecessary.Holmes was captured in Boston, Mass., in the latter part of 1894, by Owen Han- scom, the Deputy Superintendent of Police, upon the strength of a telegram frem Fort Worth, Texas, where he was wanted for horse stealing and for other charges of larceny.At that time officials of the Fidelity Mutual Life Association of Philadelphia were hot on Holmes's trail for defrauding the concern out of $10,000 in connection with Pietzel's death, the latter bejng insured for this amount, and as the accused be- i lieved horse stealing to be a high crime ja Texas he voluntarily confessed to Dep- futy Superintendent Hanscom to the insurance fraud.He did not dream for a oment that he was suspected then of the murder of Pietze!l and came to Philadelphia without requisition papers.He expressed a willingness to be tried here on the conspiracy charge in preference to that of horse stealing at Fort Worth.Before leaving Boston Holmes made this \u2018confession\u2019 to Mr.Hanscom: \u2018When I concluded it- was time to carry out our scheme to defraud the insurance company, I secured a \u2018stiff\u2019 in New York and shipped it in a trunk to Philadelphia, I turned the cheque for the trunk over to Pietzel on the Sunday nearest the first of September.1 instructed him how to prepare the body, and in three hours we were on our way to New York.\u2018Times is the father.The little girl week wrote the condemned man a ~?letter couched in such childish and tone that the man who is ac- - + of having killed a dozen people or \u201c+ burst into tears when he read it.\u201chough in erecting the gallows only > and screws are used and little or \u20183e is made, Holmes's acute hear- nade him aware of what was being soon aîter the work started yester- al the knowledge made him ner- anl uneasy, although he tried to Only to the Rev.Father Ro- \u201ctic à ir ex spiritual adviser, and Mr.1 he speak of the scaffold and to ne said but a word or two.\"he arrangements for the burial of 1*s have been entrusted by the mur- TT oto Mr.has, The place of in- already Rotan.it is understood.Teng Ten days after the payment of the money I saw Pietzel in Cincinnati.I took the three children to that city, where the father saw them.Pietzel agreed to go south, and he took one child, Howard.I took the two girls to Chicago because 1 had business there.We all met again in Detroit.Pietzel took the children and went to South America.During all this time Mrs.Pietzel knew that her husband was alive but she did not know he had the children.If she was aware of that she would insist that the crooked business be wound up right away.In order to keep Mrs.Pietzel away from her husband I had to tell her he was here and there travelling from one city to another.\u2019 This was the first of a number of alleged admissions that Holmes subsequently made.In fact he acquired a penchant for maxing \u2018confessions\u2019 that\u201d ance officials had good ground for be- Heving Holmes had murdered Piectzel and the three children, so when the prisoner arrived in Pbhiiadelphia he was urged to make another \u2018confession,\u2019 and he did so without any hesitation; but it varied somewhat from the one he mgde in Boston It graphically narrate® how \u2018he body was substituted for Pietzel in the Callowhill street house, and its identification by Alice Pietzel as that of her father a week afterwards.Holmes also related how the money was received from the insurance company and its subse- Pletzel, Jep- quent division between Mrs.tha D.Howe, the St.Louis lawyer, and himself.It was in this \u2018confession\u2019 that Holmes accused Howe of receiving $2,500 for his share in the transaction.Howe was indicted for conspiracy but recently the case against him was-droppecys Soon after Holmes was brought ta Philadelphia, Detective Geyer visited him in the county prison in relation to the finding of the body at 1316 Callowhill street, on Sept.2, 1894.After an hour's conversation with the wily Holmes, the detective secured from the prisoner a \u2018 confession\u2019 in which the accused said that the body was not that of Pietzel, but was one substituted to defraud the insurance company.A week later, Holmes honored Geyer \u2018 confession.\u2018 Mr.Geyer,\u201d he said, \u2018that story I told you about the substituted body is not true.It is the body of Benjamin F.Pietzel, but I did not murder him or his children.On Sunday morning, Sept.2, I found Pietzel dead in the third story of the Callowhill street house.I found a note in a bottle telling me that he was tired of life and had decided to commit suicide.He requested me to look after the insurance money and take care of his wife and family.I then fixed up the body in the position it was found.These children you speak of are all right.They are with Minnie Williams in London.I gave Howard to Minnie Williams in Detroit, and sent Alice and Nellie to her from Toronto.They met Miss Williams in Niagara Falls and sailed for Europe from New York.\u2019 Between this time and his trial for conspiracy to defraud the insurance company, to which charge he pleaded guilty, Holmes made many other \u2018 confessions,\u2019 but they differed very itttle from \u2018those already given.to tell the truth, but he sedulously avoided doing so.Nobody believed what Holmes said about Pietzel, and he would not say anything about the children, except that they were all right.In his many interviews with District- Attorney Graham, Holmes persisted that the missing Pietzel children were with Minnie Williams in London.He even persuaded Mr.Graham to have an advertisement in the shape of a cipher puzzle inserted in a New York paper, for the purpose of bringing Minnie Williams and the little Pietzels back from Europe.The District-Attorney placed little faith in what Holmes had told him, but the advertisement was published as a sort of last and hopeless effort.When the bodies of Nellie and Alice Pietzel were unearthed in Teronto, Holmes denied having killed them.When Howard's charred bones were found in a stove in Irvington, Ind., Holmes calmly denied any knowledge of the lad\u2019d death.When the murders of Minnie Williams and her sister were discovered, Holmes said Minnie killed Nancy in a jealous frenzy, and he buried the body in Lake Michigan.He vigorously denied having put Minnie to death so as to secure her property.The disappearance of Emily Cigrand was traced to Holmes, but the criminal said he knew nothing of the girl\u2019s fate.The partially consumed bones that were found in the Chicago \u2018 Castle\u2019 are known to be those of some of Holmes\u2019s victims.About the last time that Holmes was taken to the District-Attorney\u2019s office to < confess,\u201d Mr.Grabam lost patience with pieturesque falsehoods.He actually gave the District-Attorney a veritable ° jolly\u2019 about the Pietzel family and Minnie Williams being still alive.The scene that ensued was extremely dramatic.Mr.Graham sald:\u2014\u2018\u2019 Holmes, vou are an infernal lying murderer.1 will hang you in Philadelphia for the murder of Benjamin Pietzel.\u2019 .Holmes'\u2019s nerve was still with him, and he said:\u2014\u2018I defy you.You have no evidence to prove me guilty.\u2019 \u2018Mr.Graham looked with disgust and determination at Holmes, and said: \u2014 \u2018You will surely hang in Philadelphia for murdering Benjamin Pietzel.\u2019 The trial and conviction followed.The District-Attorney endeavored to prove during the trial, through Detective Gey- er, that Holmes killed the Pletzel children aleo, but Judge Arnold, before whom.the case was tried, declared this to be irrelevant.Geyer had unearthed the murder of the children after a prolonged Mn vestigation and the Commonwealth was with another} Each time\" he pretended §- him.Holmes gave a repetition of his] these crimes also.Holmes embraced the Catholic faith when it became evident to him that he must hang, and the Rev.Father Dailey ministered to his spiritual wants.Throughout his trial and subsequent imprisonment, this arch-criminal maintained a nonchalance that was remarkable.Hermann Webster Mudgett was born at Gilmanton, N.H., May 16, 1860.On July 4, 1878, he married Clara A.Lovering, at Alton, N.H., and on Jan.28, 1887, under the name of Harry Howard Holmes, he committed bigamy by marrying Myrtle Z.Belknap.A few weeks thereafter, Holmes applied in Chicago for a divorce, and the suit was ,pending until June 4, 1891, when the Court dismissed it owing to the non- appearance of the complainant.Holmes continued his .higamous éareer by \u2018Marrying Georgianna Yoke, in Denver, Col., on Jan.17, 1894, he assuming the name of Henry Mansfield Howard on this occasion.A son was born to the first wife and this is the boy whom Holmes is said to have made the chief beneficiary of the proceeds of the alleged confession.Holmes was indicted for the murder of Pietzel on Sept.12, last, and he was placed on trial on Oct.28.A verdict of r guilty was reached on Nov.2, and on Nov.30 he was sentenced tQ be hanged.Miss Yoke, with whom Holmes was living at the time of Piletzel's death, was an important witness for the Commonwealth at the trial, and it was largely upon her evidence that the accused was convicted.She told of Holmes\u2019s absence from their boarding-house on Sept.2, 1894 (the day of the murder) and of his excited condition when he returned.On that night, the couple left Philadelphia and went direct to Indianapolis.The wanderings.of Holmes throughout the country then began, and they ended with his arrest at Boston.\u2014\u2014 A NOTABLE PAINTING.MR.EDWIN A.ABBEY\u2019'S HISTORIC PICTURE AT THE ACADEMY.London, May 7.\u2014The \u2018St.James Ga- zotte' says: \u2018The honor of having painted what is undoubtedly the most briliant and striking historic picture in the present year\u2019s.exhibition falls to the retent associate, Mr.Edwin A.Abbey, who has achieved a work at once artistically fine and dramatically interesting; a \u2018picture in which, in spite of its elaborately archaeological veracity, the human appeal is 50 forcible and direct that it could hardly fail, one would think, to be widely popular.All the Saturday and Sunday papers give extended comment and description to Mr.Abbey\u2019s picture.Since it is certain to be one of the most discussed paintings of the period, the following details must interest American and Canadian readers: Right athwart the whole long canvas passes a solemn funeral procession.Tbe continually recurrent black of the mourners\u2019 dress is broken up by the slanting lines of the red staves of the reversed halberds, and the rich, elaborately ornate, and heraldic ddornments of the bier form a sombre, yet gorgeous, ground for the figures of Gloucester and Lady Anne.She walks beside the bier in sumptuous dress, velil- ed in with crape, and having a long black train, embroidered with huge fleur-de-lis in gold, which her pages carry.Her passionate face looks out and through.ali the cumbersome robes.You perceive the conflicting agitations of the woman, as sinister, erimson-clad Richard follows her, a ring temptingly proffered in his right hand, while his drawn sword, which he has offered her.to stab him with, is still carried in his left.The weird, Hmping figure of the Duke seems to possess such an uncanny fascination for the unfortunate daughter of Warwick that she cannot take her eyes off it, and yet can hardly bear to look at it.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014r EXPELLED FROM CUBA.Havana, May 7.\u2014James Creelman, correspondent of the New York \u2018World,\u2019 and Frederick

DIED IN THE WINDSOR HOTEL.This morning, in Stanley Street Presbyterian Church, the Rev.Mr.Dewey, assisted by the Rev.Dr.Barbour, Principal of the Congregational College had a solemn funeral service over all that was mortal of Mr.George Fenwick, of the Fenwick Company of Marine Engineers, of Hong Kong, China.Mr.Fenwick was, as stated in yesterday's \u2018 Witness\u2019 on his way to Scotland, and on Tuesday night died suddenly in the Windsor Hotel of heart disease.Mr.Meldrum, a Scotchman, of Johor, but formerly of Edinburgh, had been travelling with Mr.Fenwick, and was able to attend to him when he became so suddenly - ill.could be done for the dying Scotchman, for Mr.Fenwick was from Brechin; but it was of no avail.On Wednesday telegrams from the friends in Scotland instructed Mr.Meldrum to have the remains interred in the cemetery here.The service this morning was very impressive.There were gathered in the church, His Honor Mayor R.Wilson- Smith, Mr.W.R.Salter, Mr.James Tasker, Mr.W.D.Hanna, Mr.Wm.Drys- dale, Mr.W.S.Weldon, Mr.R.Ross, Mr.J.L.Morris, Mr.A.Murray, Mr.John Ogilvy, Mr.S.S.Bain, president, and Ald.Stevenson, Mr.S.C.Stevenson and Mr.James Harper, all past presidents of the Montreal Caledonian Society; Mrs.Dewey, Mr.A.Macchi, Col.Seitz, Mr.John Allan, Mr.J.McGillis and others.Mr.S.S.Bain had sent a beautiful floral wreath, and great sympathy was expressed in the service and prayers, as well as by tke Scotchmen present, for the friends of their fellow- countryman, whose death on his way home seems inexpressibly sad.On the conclusion of the service the remains were taken to Mount Royal Cemetery, some gentlemen from Brechin seeing to the last offices at the grave.elem MONTREAL RAMABAI CIRCLE.The eighth annual meeting of the Montreal

IRON TRADE.London, May 7.\u2014A conferénce of the British iron trade was opened yesterday.Speeches were made and the papers read dwelt upon the serious.compe- tion which is being offered to the British iron trade from American and Ger- mar sources.Sir A.Hickman, representative in parliament for North Wolverhampton, who is himself an iron master, presided over the conference.In the remarks which he addressed to the meeting he urged that a reduction of one farthing a ton in the charge for the carriage of minerals would revolutionize the English trade.Another speaker thought that the chief reason for England\u2019s loss of trade was the great strikes and lockouts which have occurred in the iron trade of late years.Fe -\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 EXCAVATIONS AT DELPHI.Athens, May

a ESHA ee df Vv ed VY Nc end Ne NE ST Taurspary, May 7, 1896.THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS POLITICAL GOSSIP Tie Movements of Leading Spirits in the World of Politics, # MEETINGS HELD AND 4 NIOUS NOMINATIONS MADE.Sir Adolphe Caron, who has been in n for the past few days, is far from -aring the look of a man who was cast +a by misfortune.The successful -, organizer is as dapper, as cheerful as ever.He chats with his friends who - .rround him at the Windsor Hotel; pre- \u2026 :3 à great victory for the party at \u201cLv polls, and professes to be in cordial ~mpathy with the cabinet reconstruc- i.on of Sir Charles Tupper.This atti- \u2018ide on the part of Sir Adolphe is not without its significance, and gives point (0 the rumor that he is to be provided for in some way, either through the creation of a fresh office in which he may be removed from active politics, and no longer affront the country with a cynicism which was felt to be shameless even by his colleagues.It is said by those who know Sir Adolphe intimately that Le would never consent to be turned down without making such a kick as would have a disrupting effect upon the party, had he not been promised a place ia which he will still be comfortable.Just what that position will be no one can say.It may be a mission, or there may be even the bold idea of bringing 2ir Adolphe forward once more in case the Conservatives should be returned and the names of the Ultramontane mints- ters from Quebec should have worked the will ef the party under the direction of the bishops, all danger having been averted by the dropping of his namo during the contest.At ali events, no one believes that the last has been heard of Sir Adolphe, who, as a party worker, end as a collector and distributor of political funds, is invaluable.Lieut.-Governor Chapleau has left for Quebec, where be will go into the situation fully with his ministers.Just what passed between him and ex-Premier Tail- i0D yesterday cannot be known, but the latter was seen afterwards in a smiling humor, and apparently he is confldent that the step he has taken will result in S1CCess.The Hon.Mr.Nantel has been flitting about from Quebec to Montreal, and from Montreal to Ottawa for the past fortnight.1* 15 understood that he will have the first vlaim upon the premiership.He is the personal favorite of the Lieutenant-Gov- «rnor, with whom (in conjunction with the Postmaster, Mr.Dansereau), he is always closeted when the latter comes to town.Indeed, these two gentlemen are the guides, philosophers and friends of the Lieutenant-Gevernor, who consults them in most important matters.While the Hon.Mr.Casgrain is the more popular of the two, there is little doubt that in the reconstruction of the cabinet it will be found that Mr.Nantel will be ou top.Time will show whether the statement that a place will be found for the Hon.Mr.Hall in the new cabinet was well founded; but the signs undoubtedly voint in this direction.The Liberals are preparing quietly for the campaign in St.Antoine division, and anticipate an easy victory for Mr.Mac- \u201cav, whosa name, while it is respected (y all classes as standing for probity and honor, is revered by the French- \u2018 anadians representir\u201d, as it does, an aileglance to principle in the early days of Liberalism when the younger genera- \u2018lon of French-Canadians were beginning : feel after a broader idea of national l'a and duty.Mr.Mackay, while not «nn orator, 's a weighty man in council.i» is a Liberal of the English schoel, a\"! had no sympathy with the later evo- i rion of Mercierism, which he did his L; Bay, as will support the press 5-0, combination.and declaring friendly settlement of the rout, the Manitoba Government sur cw proposed by Mr.Laurier.will lL, 5 ceptable, ag it may be altered a sg; time, which means in other wo g that Manitoba must be céerced 0 on costs, then we must respectfully ex; ss our opinion, as well as our fears ty not only will the desired end in view the relief of the oppressed Cathalis of the Prairie Province, which every fz.minded citizen longs for\u2014be coniie defeated and the condition of the «stl.lice aggravated instead of improved * the break up of the Canadian Confer! =; tion must rapidly follow.The seu yg of such a pastoral will mean a de lars.tion of war to the knife, in our h:mti- opinion, between the Province of Quetréc and the other provinces of the Diem.fon.It will mean the arraving cf all the other provinces against this ore.It will mean that the opposition of !la.- toba and its backers to anv scttlemer friendly or otherwise, will be Intenrifi | and that there will be à general npris:.r against what will te construed ae an ir: solent attempt on the part of Quebec an! its ecclesiastical leaders to dictate to tlie other provinces.It will mean the identification of the Church in thousands upon thousands of honest minds with the cause of the men at Ottawa.whose dishonesty is notorious, whose scandals s record calls to heaven for vengeance.ar whose misrule has been the ruin of the country at large and of the Province of Quebec in particular, one half of whose population it has already driven Into exile.In fine, it will mean that Queber and its influence as a province will he completely crushed.foven supposing that such an episcopal fulmination should enable the present Ottawa combination to carry the day at the elections, the hope is perfectly futile that the next parliament will pass a remedial Lill any more than the last.The same opposition, only of a still more deter: mined character, will be aroused.The same farce to be played over again: tLe Liberals will retire from the scene altn- gether and leave the Church to fight is own battles and all the Angers, all the Taillons and all the Castors in the world will be powerless to contend against the rooted objection in the minds of the Eng- lish-speaking majority even within the Ministerial party to pess so odious a measure as a remedial coercion bill against their own kindred.But even supposing such a measure wag passed.where is the power going to come from to enforce it,

Cote des Neiges line in the very near future.The cad Committee met again yesterday af- -ernoon and discussed the project.e Ald.Prefontaine, chairman, informed \u201che committee that he bad been informed by the City Attorney that the City Coun- c:i had it within its power to order the \u201ctreet Railway Company to alter routes er construct new ones.Ald.Kinsella\u2014Then the company should get to work on that Cote des Neiges branch as soon as possible.My notion, made at the last meeting of this committee, is that the company cross the Éelgneurs street bridge from Point St.Charles.and reach Cote des Neiges by the way of Guy street.This would be a central route and would be a great convenience to citizens all over the city.Mr.Cunningham, manager of the Street Rallway, said that the company was in favor of having a cross-town line such as proposed, and were very much pleased that the suggestion had been made that the company's tracks should cross the Grand Trunk's tracks at Guy, instead of Mountain street.The former crossing would not be so dangerous and would not delay the company's cars as a crossing on Mountain street would.He agreed with Ald.Kinsella that it would be far more convenient for the public if the line was run up Guy street, at the same time, bowever, he wished to draw the commit- tres attention to certain obstacles at present in the way of the company con- grructing the line on that street.In the the first place the C.P.R.bridge was so low that it would not allow the company's standard cars to pass under it.Tue roadway under the bridge would have to be lowered a few inches, and a portion of the street would have to be widened before the company could lay double tracks upon it.It would be a henefit if the city would remove a portion of the very steep hill near Dorches- rer street, on Guy, in order to enable the cars to get up it in the winter time without having to put salt on the rails.If the committee would make it possible for the company to construct this line, no time would be lost in constructing it.The committee decided to inspect the proposed route on Friday morning and then to report to Council in regard to the matter.Aldermen Reneault and Grothe called attention to the dirty condition of the streets in some parts of the city, which Mr.Barlow, the Acting City Surveyor, said was due not a little to the litter thrown about by people moving.Complaint was also made that many of the streets were not being properly watered.The committee decided to instruct the City Surveyor to see to the cleaning of the streets, and if found necessary to double the gang of laborers to.do so He was also requested to have the watering rarts more equally distributed over the city.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014p>- MILK INSPECTION.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir \u2014Some years ago a meeting was held in this city with a view of forming à dairymen\u2019s association, the chief object being to secure a regular and efficient inspection of dairies.The matter, however, was not heartily taken up and nothing came of it.Since then the researches of scientists have from time to tune called attention to the serious dangers arising from the use of impure milk.it is now generally admitted that there is no article of food which it is more important should be free from impuri- rv than milk, and my attention bas been specially called to the question by read- ng the report of the Board of Cattle Commissioners of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts which has just been is- syed, The report dwell with special -mphasis on the dangers coming from the use of milk from diseased animals.quote the fallowing paragraphs from \"vo of the highest authorities, whose s atements are included in the report of the commission: The withdrawal from dairies of every cow that had any diseasc whatever of her udder would form some approach to security against the serious danger incurred by men from the use of tuberculous milk.The presence in a dairy of a tuberculous\u2019 tow is a decided source of danger to the ;'lblie, specially having regard to what we \u201cave learned respecting rapid development 0.tuberculosis in the udder and the degree of danger to milk consumers incurred by \u2018Re Invasion of this udder in tuberculous rows, It follows that it is of supreme importance *o the consumers of milk that the existence of any tuberculous disease of the udder sn«uld be ascertained without delay; and \u2018\u201de presence of such condition\u2014whatever it Lay be\u2014demands that the judgment of a res; onsible expert should forthwith be ob- \u201c»d about this danger\u2014unless, indeed, the owner prefers to slaughter the cow without delay.Th2 eighth annual report of the Vermont Agricultural Experimental Station also calls atttenti@n to the serious risk Li fection from tuberculous cattle, and t'ates that \u2018children are more likely to t= affected than adults, owing to thelr tissues being less resistant, and because th-ir chief food is milk.\u2019 The Royal Commission \u201cra of the opinion that X \u2018hing short of boiling would destroy the eu \u2018agious principle; and it%is a well known 2 © that in boiling milk its constituents 4 4 50 thoroughly changed that it is not 4% iseful as a food, especially for infants, '* hat which has not been subjected to = æreat degree of heat.As a public \u2018ay measure, therefore, any system \u201c2 to the sterilization of the milk pro- as à whole, would fall short of ac- thing the desired result.We must, \u2018are.\u2018either eliminate from the milk \u201ct that which is diseased, and destroy we must see that the source from \u201cthe milk {s derived is free from dis- in England fi» above will suffice to show the ur- < need of careful and regular inspec- This system has been adopted by azing committee of the St.James +ha a year ago secured the services \u201c'barles McEachran, V.8., to make & \u2018\u2019hly In

source of supply is beyond suspicion, and this can only be done by a systematic inspection.I feel assured that if this method were adopted it would prove beneficial alike to the consumers and sunpliers of milk.T.A.TRENHOLMH.Elmhurst Farm.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ARMENIAN RELIEF FUND.Though the meeting of last evening in aid of this most unfortunate and stricken people was less fully attended than was hgped for its effcct must result in a generous centinuance of the eontribu- tions which have been daily acknowledged in the \u2018Witness.No one could bave been present without recognizing its importance evidenced by the large gathering of representative citizens on the platform; the speakers eloquently and forcibly pressed home to the minds and hearts of their hearers the exigen- cles of the situation, the wrongs of the sufferers, the diabolical cruelties of the unspeakable Turk, whilst not less convincing was the calm dispassionate narration of Mr.Hagop Bogigian, himself one of the persecuted race.Those friends who deposited their I1.0.U.\u2019s in the plate will kindly remit for their redemption to the undersigned.Subscriptions will be acknowledged at intervals, in the newspaper and will be cabled to \u2018The Dukes Fund\u2019 for distribution by the British Ambassador at Constantinople.Very nearly four hundred dollars were handed

v8.Gagné and Vigneau.Tremblay had rented a basement from one Paquin, 125% St.Paul street, for the purpose of converting it into a boarding house.Later on, Paquin traneferred all his rights in the lease to the present defendants who took over Tremblay as their tenant.By his action Tremblay complained that Gagné and Vigneau, who used the premises above his boarding house as a hotel, constantly spilled water on their floor, which water, lea'.ing througb, dropped on his dining table and on his beds, the result being that his business was ruined and he had to leave the premises.The Court held that the damage complained of by plaintiff had been established for a period of ten months and to the extent of ten dollars per month.Judgment must therefore go in favor of Tremblay for a hundred dollars.[EE IN AID OF THE GENBRAL HOSPITAL.The \u2018Carnival of Nations,\u2019 in which cne hundred and fifty performers take part, should attract lerge audiences to the Windsor Hall this evening,

7.\u2014Earl! Spencer, ex-Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, after spending a day or so in Winnipeg, left to-day for Montreal.His trip over the C.P.R.from the coast was a revelation to the Earl, He said: \u2018The mountain scenery along the Canadian Pacific is truly grand, and seeing as much as we bad in our travels we had to live until Canada was reached to see something equally as magnificent as anything we had noticed in the far East.The enterprise of the Canadian people in supporting the company who built the C.P.R., is very creditable to them.The roadbed is very smooth, and the coaches easy running, and the provisions for safety through the mountains ensure absolute freedom from dangerous risks.° The company\u2019s 6cean steamships are models of excellence and the traveller could not wish for more enjoyable ocean homes.\u2019 The Earl said he would not forget the Canadian west, and in his intercourse with British statesmen he promised not to neglect anything that might be to the advantage of the Dominion and her western prairies.The Countess has not been able to appear during her visit, the death of her sister, Lady Clifton, affecting her deeply.ere TAX ON BICYCLES.THE QUESTION DISCUSSED BY TORONTO ALDERMEN.Toronto, May 7.\u2014At a committee meeting of the City Council in discussing the unemployed problem, Ald.Preston suggested that a good way to give employment to the poor would be to tax bicyclists a dollar a year, the city to supplement this revenue by an equal amount.This would give $25,000.If that amount was then taken and a.bicycle path laid along streets that are now badly paved it would give sixty-five miles of bicycle track outside of the principal streets every year.Ald.Spence did not agree with the scheme as he said the matter had been discussed and opposed by the wheelmen on a former occasion.No action was taken.rer ANOTHER CANADIAN HONORED.Kingston, Ont., May 7.\u2014Capt.Kenenth J.R.Campbell, of the Suffolk regiment, has received the

\u2018 Silverite,\u201d just returned from Washington, who did not care to be quoted by name, sald to-day that the most interesting political campaign in the history of the United States was about to open.Continuing, he sald: \u2014 \u2018There will be a bolt in the Republican convention in St.Louls, and there will be two conventions in Chicago, each of which will proclaim itself the regular Democratic organization.Then there will be a Silver organization and the greatest political campaign ever seen or heard of.We bave three million votes in the country, and we have perfect organization.If there should be two organizations in Chicago, the gold convention will nominate Grover Cleveland.I do not think the Republicans will nominate McKinley, though it looks that way now.I hear there is a coming combination on Harrison, who could take the wind out of Mc- Kinley\u2019s boom by drawing off at least forty percent of his delegates.\u2019 \u2018Do the bi-metallists expect to win a majority of the electoral college?\u2019 he was asked.\u201cWell, they have not raised their hopes that high yet.We will be satis- fled to throw the election into the House.We will have the votes of twellty-six States.We will carry Michigan.We can throw Indiana to the Democrats.We can do the same in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.We have the votes in New York to throw the electoral vote either way, and if you doubt it, ask Mr.Platt.We can give New Jersey to the Republicans.This is what the campaign will be like, and we feel confident that we can throw the election into the House of Representatives.The silver campaign is not dying out.It has been manipulated with great political sagacity.Both old parties will declare for gold, and we have deemed it good politics te make it sure that the Republicans would do that.I wish I could be assured as well of the success of the Democrats.elfen THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN.A reception to the National Council of Women of

the committee that their weekly expenses were beyond the limit allowed by the appropriation and refusing to pay the expenses of the week ($500).After some discussion it was resolved, on motion of Ald.Jacques, that the comptroller be requested to pay the wages up to the present week, and that next week the superintendent be instructed to keep within the limit apportioned the committee, and that the committee attend the next meeting of the Finance Committee in a body and explain how matters at present stand in the Water Department.The balance of the meeting was taken Up in considering a number of petitions from employees who had been discharged by Mr.Laforest, and who claimed that an injustice had been done them.Mr.Laforest explained that he had been compelled to discharge the men owing to the committee's appropriation having been cut down so low.Both French and English had been discharged; so he had shown no

Even in Hamilton there must have been a mixture of good and bad, and the one that I thought was the wors: of them all has brought me here\u2019 The woman answered as all such good women do, convinced that her opinion was knowledge, and that thera was.no other knowledge.\u2018There\u2019s not much mixture in them.There may be a trace o' grace in this poor hump-backed chap\u2014not in the others.The hands of half of them are red with murder ; apd the other: are mixed up in it.They were afraid to get themselves into more of a mess with the government\u2014tha!'s what the sign 0\u2019 grace in them was ; but there is not another house between here and Vancouver where they\u2019d not have treated you like a lady.\u2019 This had been the refrain of all she said.Moved by one of her generous impulses, the girl put up her arm, and drew down the homely face, and kissed it.hi CHAPTER XXIV, Even while Mary slept her heart was troubled by dreams of Hamilton's mad pursuit.When she awoké she was still possessed by the fear, 10 which reason now added the knowledge that, if he should come again and find her in this house, his enmity would be aroused against ite 1n- mates.She was not slow to remember, either, that it would be well for the dwarf to get within the protec tion of a larger settlement.Although hospitable offers were made to her, all things considered.Ît was admitted that it was well she should start again early upon her journey.The road which she had to go.10- cluding the way back to the mail track, was little more than four miles.An hour after the late daybreak.upon the last day of the old year.the girl and the dwarf started 10 go through the narrow canyon, the farmer and one of his sons accompanying tbem to the main track, offering Lo set a watch there in order that DO pursuer might enter the pass while they were going through.A light mist yet filled the air.whicli was very still.It was not DOW dense ; the foreground could be ais- cerned ; the nearer hills looked like dark shadows.At first the girl, whose vitality was revived by sleep, experienced a deep disappointment ; the thought of the wonderful panorama of mountains wkich she had expected to see filled her with restless discontent with the obscurity, but as she advanced a ht- tle way, and found all the sèene, as It were, compressed between narrow walls, she discovered that nature had its own beauty in the fallen cloud i+ well as in clearer air.The boiling of the river below them Was Just seen, half-velled in vapor.The rocks with the lichens and moss®ë.some sere, some -green, which ros\u201d from the river to the road and aboy\u201d the road on its other side, showed the liveliest colors they could displal against the soft whiteness of the alr, 2 pi Cel 4 a Arm 9 mm en mm ta ea aa be pv Fm PO pd Rl Ph ed nd ma we ad + ~ \u2014 em fem \u2014t pt a PA OM PR ee 4 A Cr A Am Said ong * ad, \u2018 he >St ed \"se sly où eat ou CKk- 1e!

the way she knew that his own nrogress was very tollsome to him.she began to think what she could do ro recompense his goodness.She tad a generous heart; a gust of grati- de now outweighed the lust of pos-
