but, last n.ght, from the very first number, her extraordinary technique was appreciated and none denied her temperament.The pro- grumme was an ideal one, consisting of the following numbers: Concerto * D major, Paganini; Ave Maria, Schubert- Wilhelmj; Adagio, Ries; L\u2019Abeille, Schubert; Hajer Kati, Wieniawski, and Fantasie, Faust, Wieniawski.This masterly programme was strictly adhered to, with the exception of one encore piece, and was a model for many older performers.In whatever genre, how often aa evening has been marred by a great singer or instrumentalist because the programme has been inadvisedly eelected?Hamlet advised the actors that \u2018the play\u2019s the thing\u2019 and selectors of programmes might well remember Browning\u2019s lines, \u2018The little more and how much it is, the little less and what worlds away.\u2019 To describe Miss Hall's playing in detail would be to exhaust superlatives; there was hardly a technical difficulty she did not attempt, and there was nothing that she attempted that she did not accomplish with distinc tion.It was a remarkable achievement for a young, slight gr], seemingly fragile to the point of feebleness, but possessed of a nervous force and a temperament that will lead her yet into the very front rank of the t violin players of the world.She played upon a Strad, once used by Viotti, and an instrument of surpassing beauty of tone.Fortunately for Montreal, Miss Hall is to pla again in the city shortly, Mr.Frank Veitch having succeeded in engaging her for the Montreal Sympheny Orchestra concert on Friday, Feb.9.TO A VIOLINIST.(Miss Marie Hall.) Soft as the rain that falle on April nigbt, Light as the falling petals of a flower, Dim a6 a misty landscape seen at night, Low as the murmuring waves at twilight hour, Your music held me with its strangely subtle power, It rose and fell in lingering melody; It held the speechless yearning of a soul StruggHng for freedom \u2014 Some great threnody Woven in eong, poured forth, a perfect whale, From those impassioned strings in mystic harmony, And as I listened, wrapt 24 in & dream, ' The soul of music bare My woul away On wings of phamtssy, until a gleam, More splendid than the rosy dawn of day, Revealed the epirit-reaim where music halds her sway, | swirt as a god I thundered through ne ! dawn, Apollo's reins in my immortal hands: I was the wind, and drove, with breath forlorn, Dead leaves and rain-clouds over winter lands; My song of death slow-shuddering through a lowering morn!

ity wa day after the ( y was concluded yesterday afler- Mr.N.K.Laflamme, whs arg behalf of the plaintiff, claimed LW bye law 331 warranted the closing of the streets, but did not authorize the city to pass a contract to that effect with the Caradian Pacitic Railway, and that a mere resolution of the council adopting the report of the expropriation omus- sioners was not sufficient to justify the said contraet.He also contended that all the requirements of the law had not been complied with, and held that although the city was empowered to dispose of its private domain, it could not dispose of its public domain to the extent of closing streets for the benefit ot private individuals or corporations.lur- thermore, the site of St.Timothée streat which ran alongside plaintift\u2019s brewery, had been changed and there was rcth- ing in the by-laws to justify such a change.eplying, on behalf of the city, Mr.Archambault maintained that the city, by virtue of its charter had the right to close any street.All the conditions attending the emactment of the by-law in question had been fulfilled, and the contract could only be attacked by a direct action.As this had not been taken, all the co could do in the present case was tolecide upon the legality or illegality the by-law authorizing the UP.R.close the streets.Mr.Chas.Archer and Mr.L.T.Mare- chal followed on behalf of the C.P.R., and argued that the agreement betwe:n the Fpppany and the city was simply a lease/ for which a mere resolution \u2018of the City Council was sufficient.what had actually been done.Judge\u2019 Tellier then took the case en delibere.INÇREASED SUBSIDIES THE LETELLIER CLUB ENDORSES THE HON.MR.GOUIN'S CAMPAIGN.A very enthusiastic meeting of the members of the Letellier Club, under the presidency of Mr.Rodolphe Latu- lippe, was held last evening.The object of the meeting was to consider the question of increased subsidies for the provinces.The chairman, in dealing with the question, approved of the firm attItude taken by the Hon.Mr.Gouin and declared that the demand of the people in that direction constituted a right and not a favor, Mr.P.R.Du Tremblay, president of the Papineau Club, followed, and gave a brief sketch of the work of the Fathers of Confederation, who, he declared, had erred in their calculations when handing over to the federal power certain provincial revenues, and estimating that the subsidies granted would leave the provinces with a surplus.That being the case, it was now the duty of the Ottawa anthorities to refund a portion of the large revenue received from the provinces.Mr.Camille Piché, M.P., was the next speaker.Ille followed the same argument.\u2018What will be the attitude of the Ottawa Government?the member for St.Mary's asked, but he did nit pretend to be able to give an answer.= did not, however, agree with certain enterprising newspapers, which had interpreted Sir Wilfrid Laurier's speech at the Gouin banquet, to be a refusal.He believes that if the government decided to amend the subsidies, they would have almost the unarimous support of the House of Commons.Mr.Piché also declared that it was not a political, but a etrictly business matter.A formal:resolution was then proposed by Mr.Du Tremblay, seconded by Mr.Locat.approving the stand taken by the Hon.Mr.Gouin and requesting Sir Wilfrid Laurier to sce that the demand for the increased subsidies is complied with.The motion was unanimously adopted, and the meeting was brought to a close.1t is expected that the different Liberal clube will follow this movement,

VS.WANDERERS.night at the Arena by 6 goals to 2.During the whole of the game the teams seemed to be actuated by a disgueing vindictiveness towards one another, aad whilst they did not always have an opportunity of ehowing it, these moments every conceivable tripping and slashing was Indulged In.Finally, the men became wotked up to such a pitch of excitement that dellberate attempts to mnalm their opponents became ccemmon.The climax came when Cameron bodied Johnson into the fence late in the second half.The Wanderer man fired up and lashed out at the doctor.In a second Meldrum bad dropped ou Johnson, end in a moment more the public saw the degrading epectacle of two teams of young men, suppceedly gentlemen and sportemen, struggling in an inglorious fracas on the ice, some of the contestants not hesitaling to nse thelr skates and sticks in the fight.The crowd, who had all along been verging on fever heat, broke out into a riot of mingled cries of encouragement and admonition.The more venturesome of the men in the popular séction tore their way through tbe wire partition and prepared to jump into the fray.This juterfererce was occasion \u2018happily stopped by the officials of the rink and some of the players who heid aloof from the battle.After a while the men were forcibly pulled away from one thing order was restored.As no nae knbw who was the originator of the COULSON, fond should be put off for the Test of -the match, an astonishing decision.Doc.Stevart, who was the aesistant referee, and who had been abused all round by members of the executives and players of i the different clubs, left the ice.He ve- | bemently proclatmed that he was not go- {ing to referee a \u2018prize fight.\u2019 He was, however, prevailed upon to return.This wae a mietake, and by doing so, he tacitly cc neurred 1 the disgraceful scene whick he bad been powerless to arrest, but wirich he should bave condemned «by the only neans at his disposal, retirement, and the dirpatdh of a warm criticlem to the presi- cent of the association.The whole affair was a scandal on the sporting nature of the city, and \u2018an A640- ciation mesting ehould be held, and the pugiliste who inaugurated the fight taken Renched for knocking out Blachford.It 1z up to the new E.CAH.A Here is an opportunity for them to show whether the amalgamation of the two leagues has made for.the purification of - the game, as lis promoters claimed that it would do.The ice was very heavy, and good combination work was at a discount.It was, nevertheless, the only meane of goal getting, and the Wan- derere used their heads with complete success.The fatal mietèke that the Montreal team makes is that all the forward line want to tbe scorers.They cannot, or will not, recognize that it is just as honorable and clever to assist in the score of a gamc as to score 1t.The light winged wheel forwards were at all times at the mercy of the strong Wanderer defence, which, with the sure footing the dull ice gave them, and the ban- dican the same conditions placed on the Montreai forwards, were invariably able to tackle an isolated player.But behind Strachan and Kennedy came Menard, improving with every game he plays, who gave a st2llar display.The first half showed the Montreals in their most dangerous mood, and thelr attacks, though repulsed, were repeatedly within an ace of the success they sought.At an early stage of the game Patrick was to be distinguished, played a splendid rueh game, though his fast work and corkscrew tactics were at first of little avail.The Montreal forwards were strewn all over the ice, and frequently collided with on another.Shots aimed at either of the LESTER PATRICK.goaltenders were of practically no value,as all the speed was taken out of them pe- tore they reached the posts.thing to do was to get.right in ou tbe nets.The Wanderers early recognized this, and their rushes each time brought them perilously near to Brophy.The Montreal defence, though they never gave an exhibition of clean cut relieving, managed to crawl! out of many tight posiitoas end Brophy handled everything that came to bim wib his usual dispatch.After threatening, Patrick made a lightning dash through the Montreal ranks, and passing to Glace, who had attended him down the ice, the latter scored.Then Montreal flung themselves on the Wanderers \u2018after this, and, following the only real bit of team play put up by them during the game.Smalll scorad with one of his deadly low shots from she left.The game slowed down fcr a while, the goalkeepers being occasionally troubled by random shots.The Wanderers were the firet to come out of thelr rest, and their return to aggres- civeness was immediately pro\u2019uctive of a store.Glass managed to net the disc from a acrimmage in the goal mouth.The first real symmtoms of the blackguardlinees that wa< afterwards to mark the game as the dirtiest this season began to appear as the bova g.ew tired.Indiscriminate slashing and elbowing were to be remarked, -nd | the sight of a man adopting these metnods BILLY MPLDRUM Wanderers defeated the Montreals last: of the game being

the players themselves were aware of this and took every | advantage of the leniency of the officialing.Before the game had been in progress many minutes, Glass careered up the ice i and got a Ane pase over to Blachford, who | pocketed the Wanderers\u2019 third goal.This , was the signal for a grand revival of Montreal aggressiveness,and the speed developed by Coulson, Smalll, Sargent, and Mason was dazzling at periods.\u2018Blachford, however, was always a match for them, and Strachan see- [8 Ing an opening through the winged whee! lines, rap up and \"handed on a good pass to Blach-

were facing five of the Montreal team.The struggle put up by Menard, Kennedy, aud Glass, was one of the finest pleces of work ever seen at the Arens.The puck was faced right in front of Menard, and the old National player was peppered with shots.Whilst be was on his skates he was invincible, but he was eventually tripped up and, with an empty goal nm.outh, Sargent niched the rubber.Blachford, Strachan and Johnson arrived a moment later and the situation was relieved.Had Montreal \u201chad the least combination this opportunity ! should have enabled them to have equaliz- j ed.With the full

CANADIAN TRANSFER VS.C.P.R.BAGGAGEMEN.A hard end fast game of bockey was played at the Victoria rink on Jan.30 be- | tveen the C.P.R.Baggagemen and the Canadian Transfer teams, resulting in a victory for the Baggagemen, the score being 5 to 2.\u2018This result was due to superb checking system of the Baggagemen, and the fact that they smashed the puck with tke same velocity as they usually display at their vocation.The Canadian Transfer on the other hand were a little slow in delivering the goods, tke puck being too late to be forwarded to its correct destination, and had w be transferred en route to the baggage department.UTTAWA VS.WANDERERS Citawa, Jan.31.\u2014The Ottawa Hockey Club executive held a meeting last night to complete arrangements for Saturday'e game with Wanderers at

of the best ever played in Richmond; it was very clean and fast throughout, considering the ice was in such poor condition.Mr.E, Percy Gomery, of Richmond, made a very efficient referee, and Mr.J.Mea- ken, of \u2018Windsor, acted as assistant referee.The écore was 3 to 2 in favor of Fichmond.Owing to the water being still high, the spectatore had to go up Stanley avenue, and in by the back of the rink, the ficod being all around the front entrance.Quite a number of spectators came down from Windsor Mills and from Danville.About 330 witneseed the game, The tesms lined up a8 follows:

about it at the time was from a letter by Prince Orloff in the Moscow \u201cGazette.\u201d The English news- Lapers, commenting on the Prince's letter, asked what useful end the English authors of the

of the poor, weary dyspoptic.Dyspepsia is a disease that in ene way or another resembles nesriy every other disease, and the only way to get rid of it is to toné the stomach, liver, bowels and

CARRIED WORKMEN DOWN EMBANKMENT, \u2014_\u2014 , Guelph, Ont., Jan.31.\u2014Two men were instantly killed and two others injured, one perhaps fatally, as a result of an accident which occurred at 8.45 o\u2019clock this morning on the extension of the C.P.R.to Goderich.A bridge, which is being spanned over the Grand river, some twelve miles from here, was the scene of the accident.It seems that the track approaching the bridge has been gradual- Iv sinking, and the men were somewhat afraid of the south side, and went to the north side.This morning, while a girder, weighing forty tons, was being placed in position by means of a derrick, with a 60-foot beam, some of the guy ropes gave wav, or the derrick was struck by a gust of wind, and toppled cver, the span striking a trestle that bad been used for carrying gravel cars to the other side of the river, the derrick and two flat cars of rails going with it down the embankment some twenty feet.The twelve men working on the construction saw the girder swing and started to run.Some ran down the embankment and others took to the rear of the cars, but four were caught.Timothy Mahoney, conductor on the com- struction train, was instantly killed.He belongs to London, and leaves a widow and family.David McKenzie, track foreman, Listowel, was badly crushed about the head and body.He died about ten minutes after being taken into the cahcose.He also leaves a widow and family.F.J.Simon, brakeman, a foreman employee of the G.T.R., was badly hurt, having four ugly gashes on the head, and ribs and arm broken.Charles Amey, the foreman of the Canadian Foundry Company, Toronto, was badly injured, having sustained a scalp woun and being injured internally.e two injured men were taken to the General Hospital, while the two killed were taken to the morgue.TWO DOMINION VS, ONTARIO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SUIT FOR NEARLY A MILLION AND A HALF BEGUN.Toronto, Jan.-31.\u2014The hearing of the suit of the Dominion Government against the Ontario Government for a claim for $1,362,035 was opened before Mr.Justice Burbidge, of Ottawa, in the Exchequer Court of Canada, here, this morning.After the statement of claim had been read, counsel for the defendants asked for an adjournment to allow them to amend their defence, and His Lordship fixed March 8 for the next hearing of the case.The case arises out of dealings with the Indjans.In 1873 the Dominion Government purchased 47,000 acres of land from the Salteaux Indians, a section of the Ojibway tribe, and in fulfilling the treaty agreement made with the Indians, spent over $1,650,000.In 1888 am imperial order-in-council made over the land to the Ontario Government, which since then has carried out the terms of the treaty.The Dominion Government row seeks to recover from the province the mone nt before 1888.Amelius Irving and Mr, Shepley appeared for the province, and Mr.Newcombe, of Ottawa, and Mr.W.D.Hogg, K.C., for the Dominion.: UNITED STATES AND CANADA \u2014 COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS DISCUSSED WITH THE PRESIDENT BY SENATOR McMULLEN.Washington, D.C., Jan.31\u2014A discus son on commercial conditions between the United States and Canada was held at the White House to-day between the President and Mr.James McMullen, a member of the Canadian Senate, who was presented by Senator Warner, Missouri.\u2018À few years ago, said Senatot MeMul- len, \u2018a strong movement was started for 1éciprocity between the United States and Canada, but with us the subject now is scarcely mentioned.Our people are becoming convinced that they must look abroad for an outlet for their surplus products.Our producers are able now to lay down in Gievc Britain fruit, fresh meat and other perishable stuff in as good condition as we can put them into the United States.They are building a fine export business, and are very pros- xerous.1f we should enter into a reciprocal agreement wih the Uniled States, we should be obliged to change cur relations with Great Dritain.Our people have no desire «o do that.In Great Britain and in suine other forei markets Canada is a competitor of the United States.\u2018In other respects our vecple entertain the most friendly feeling for the people ui the United States.\u2019 ; Senator McMullen seid that extensive railway construction :s in progress in Canada, and Canadiwns were becoming interested in railway rate legislation.He believed that in che nrar future such rute legislation as is n Dow pending in the x rought before the Canadian Parliament.JAPAN AND COREA ENTIRE DEFENCE OF THE LATTER BY JAPAN INCLUDED.- Tokio, Jan.31.\u2014The

They may be trained to believe it's comfortable to walk round in public with their kneepans in plain sight; but so man can ever make me think it\u2019s either beautiful to the eye, or respectful in the presence of one\u2019s betters.\u2019 \u2018But their officers wear the same uniform, Paddy,\u2019 Weldon objected.\u2018Who are their betters?\u201d \u2018Myself, little Canuck, and yourself, too,\u2019 Paddy answered calmly.The maple and the shamrock, severally and together, can knock the spots out of all the thistles that\u2019s growing.\u2019 \u2018Until it comes to a font Carew suggested, from Paddy's other side.\u2018The Highlapders have made their record, this time.But Paddy shook his head.\u2018Wait then till the end of the chapter\u2019 he predicted.\u2018My turn hasn\u2019t come yet.Belike I'll be the hero of them all.1 was minding my pots and my kettles, while the Black Watch was slinging lead up on the road into Kimberley.But, faith, if I was one of them, with the choice before me between a glorious death and the having to live in the sound of the bagpipes, I'd mount a Red Cross and take a white flag in my hand and sally forth to be seen and shot by the Boers.\u2019 \u2018You don\u2019t like the bagpipes, Paddy?Paddy's reply was sententioua.\u2018Did you ever hear a pig soliloquizing to himself, just as he crossed the tracks between the wheels of an express train?Well then!\u2019 \u2018Meanwhile,\u2019 Carew observed thoughtfully; \u2018T wonder why we are out on this trek \u2018To escort the little Canuck with his mounts, and to study the surface of the land, to be sure.\u2019 Carew\u2019s eye swept the barren, desolate expanse about them.\u2018It is a bit monotonous, though.\u2018It\u2019s monotony that\u2019s healthy.You can't make a whole dinner off from red pepper, and you can\u2019t make a whole campaign off from smokeless powder.In either case, you get too muc heat ed up, for the show it all makes.Strike hard and eat hot at long intervals and with exceeding unction; and, meanwhile, pause and let it soak in.Tt\u2019a not the hottest fire that gives off the most blazes.And, where is that nig- r of a Kruger 8?.Pn among the waggons with The Nig.\u2019 Fhe Black Watch would better adopt the two of \u2019em for their colors.The Nig is a pretty bit of property: but this is the brute for me.And Jeddy bent over in the saddle to stroke the neck of Piggie who snapped back at him testily.; However, in all truth, the litte gray broncho deserved all of Paddy's praise.Scarred from muzzle to pestern y errant bullets, limping slightly on one fore leg, she still had borne her master bravely over weary miles of veldt, into many a skirmish and through the kicking, squealing throngs of her kindred which crowded the Lindley kraal.Long since, Weldon had discovered that the thoroughbred Nig wes an ornament; but that Piggie was a neces- sitv.Again and yet again, her flying feet and gritty temper had brought him, unscathed, thrcug erilous plights.She read his mind as by instinct; left unguided.she guided herself with exceeding dircretion; and, upon more than one occasion, she had endured the nervous strain of feeling a human body dangling limply above the saddle bow, held in place by main strength of her master who.crouching forward beneath the heavy fire.could only indicate the way of safety by the pressure of this heel and then that against her heaving flanks.Surely, if ever hcnors could be given to a faithful, plucky little broncho.Piggie should have been gazetted for the Distinguished Rervice Order.Not to the men alone is due all the honor of victory.But now Piggie.fresh from a prolonge interval of resting in the care of Kruger Bohs, felt that she was out on an excursion of pure pleasure, Behind her trailed a long column of men and mounts and waggons: around her was a knot of horses whom she knew well: and before her stretched away the dry and levet veldt.broken at the sky-line by a range of hills that rose sharnl- in a jageed line which culminated in one peak lifted far above all the others.In the very front of the column rode a score or more of the South African Light Horse, with Weldon, for the moment, in command.The man was show- mg, just then, something of the temper où his mount.It would have been good to leave behind him the slow-moving col umn and go dashing away alone, far across the level plain.A spirit of restlessness was upon him; Paddy's utter ances grew vague in his ears, and he cast longing glances towards the range of hills t.the southward, as if eager to explore them and find what secrets, if any, lay within their keeping.Then he reined in his broncho and forced his mind back tov Paddy's conversation, still upon the deeds of the kilted heroes of the Black Watch.\u2018And they do say,\u2019 he was observing, \u2018that Wauchope was light in his mind\u2014 Tey, them piping, petticoated Scotchmen calls it\u2014the night before his death.Now that's something that\u2019s beyond my thinking.No dead man ever knows be\u2019s going to die.Witness the last words of most of \u2018em! They make up their deathbed speeches, and then they turn thrifty and save up the speeches till next time.Little Canuck dear, what would you say, if you was hit?Weldon laughed shortly.\u2018} should probably say \u201cThank God,\u201d \u2019 he answered.Paddy crossed himself.\u2018And might heaven forgive you then, little one!\u2019 he said gravely.\u2018The Lord may send the bullets to kill you, unless it's from the Boers.who is guided by the Father of Lies; but it\u2019s small thanks in return they will he asking.Take the benetits of Providence with a shout of thanksgving; but swallow hard and een a stiff upper lip.when it smacks vou over the head with a shillalegh.\u2019 Then.of a sudden, he bent over in the sadaie once more and rested his hand on Weldon's fingers, which lay on the bron- cibo's neck.\u2018And.if | mistake not.Iit- tie ope, it is what you have been doing, F or Coughs and Colds THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS There is a remedy over si cars \u2014 Ayer\u2019s \"3 you have heard of it, probably have used it.Once in the family, it stays; the one household remedy for coughs and colds, Ask We bave se secrets | the formulas of all our 1 fe agai ees: fa Sa old Cherry Pectoral.Of course qour own doctor about it.was newly painted, papered and fixed up, both landlord and tenant would be better pleased.W.E.POTTER & CO.PAINTERS AND PAPERHANGERS, 26 8t, Philip Street.Main 1939.IT PAYS TO BUY GROCERIES IN QUANTITIES At the Store Where You Never Over Pay for Anything.The shrewd, economical housewite 15 the woman who buys her food products in quantities.Goode, Flour, Tea, Coffee, etc.10 Ib.lots.Why not step in and get our For instence, we sell: 5 lbs.best Creamery Butter .81.25 23 lbs.Granulated Sugar .1.00 2 lbs.Grd, Mocha and Java Coffee 5 5 lbs.English Breakfast Tea .1.75 5 lb.pkgs.Tea.all brands .1.15 All Brands of Bacon 16%c Best Brands of Hams .15 2414 lbs.Sacks Pastry Flour .75 Clearly it is to your advantage to anticipate future wants ip Canned We always quote à low price In dozen or 5 and prices in a half wholesale way.2 lbs.Seven Crown Figs ., .28 2 Ibs.Seeded Raleins, pkgs.° .28 3 Ibs.\u2018Clean Currants, pkgs.25 12 Tins Tomatoes, Peas and Corn 1.00 4 lbs.Fresh Dates ., .23 3 lbs.Fresh Prunes ., .25 & lbs.Hand-picked Pen Beans .26 7 lbs.Spanieb Onians .\u2026.\u2026 .\u2026.-25 Telephone us and you will have the same attention as calling.BARKER & CO Tel.Up 3152.2738 St, Catherine, corner of Fort St.these late days, so forgive me teaching you a lesson you've already learned by heart.\u2019 Two night before this, Carew\u2019s letter to Alice had ended with the outery:\u2014 \u2018How long is this going to last?And now the end was almost in sight.(To be Continued.)

A snake in it! A snake in it!\u2019 Sure enough, while the coat lay on the bank a little snake that had had his home under one of the stepping stones near the edge of the creek, spying the dark pocket, slipped into be high and dry trom intruders.Startled by the motion of the jacket being carried across the creek he had coiled himself up more tightly in the snug little pocket and it was his first endeavor to poke his head out that revealed him to the boy.The children stood respe:tfully assoy from the jacket and waited for Mr.Snake to come out They poked -with a stick, starting back with little shrieks, but Mr.Snake thought too much of head and tail to have them severed.So he stayed in the dark and snificd doughnut crumbs.All of a sudden Bessie looked at the sky.\u2018It\u2019s most milking time,\u2019 she cried.\u2018We've got to get home and that snake\u2019s got to get out of t.ere!\u2019 \u2018Let's leave the old thing and send father after it,\u2019 suggested Bertrand.\u2018But that letter is in your pocket, and it has money in it and someone might steal it.\u2019 ; Resolutely Bessie started to pick up the coat, whereupon Berirand set up a regular howl.\u2018You H get poisoned!

That is, Jesus as it were, exchanged with us His righteousness for our sin.le bore our sins on the tree and left them in His tomb.His resurrection is proof of (God\u2019s acceptance on our behalf, and we are declared righteous, even as He is righteous.3.Believers are made heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.(Tit.ii.7; Ro.viii, 17.) As we suffered with Him, we shall be glorified with Him.\u2018He will not be in glory, and leave me behind.\u2019 4.We become partakers or partners of Christ.(Heb.ii, 14.) We become sharers in His sufferings and in His triumphs.This includes also being a co-worker with Christ and an associate, a companion.and a friend.How highly we should honor Him who has 20 honored us.5.We become partakers of the Holy Spirit.(Heb.vi., 4.)

PROVINCE ALSO REDUCED BY $138,013.14\u2014 MR, PERRAULT DENIES T TO THE GOVERNMENT, Quebec, Jan.31.\u2014Special importance was lent to to-dav's sitting où the Legislative Assembly by the delivery of the Provincial Treasurer's budget speech.which announced à surplus of $49.005.12 of ordinary receipts over both ordinary and extraordinary expenses during the hscal year ended on June 3) last, and a reduction at the same time during the year of $138,013.14 in the debt of the province.Petitions were presented from thelyo.testant Hospital for the Insanc for an act tettling how its funds may be invested; from E.L.Ethier and others tor the 1n- corporation of the Mutual Association ol Proprietors of Billiard Rooms and Bowling Alleys, and from the Atlantic, Quebec and Western Railway Company for amendments to their charter.The Hon.Mr.Tessier introduced a hill respecting stock breeding syndicates, and Mr.Caron brought in another to amend the charter of the Matane and Gaspé Railway, as was also some other important private legislation.In reply to Mr.Delage, the Hon.Mr.Rov stated that 1,820 school-nouses had teen built since 1895, the plans of which had been submitted to the government for approval.that the average value of each of these was $800, and the school municpalities had in general complied with the law in the matter.The Pro, » THE HON.J.C.MoCORKILL, Provincial Treasurer.vincial Secretary also gave the number of diplomas granted annually since 1887 by the various Roman Catholic boards of examiners.The estimates for the next fiscal year vere then submitted, and the financial question was taken up.BUDGET £PEECH.In rising to move the House into committee of supply, aud to make his annual budget speech, the Provincial Tread urer, the Hon.J.C.MoCorkill, begun with a touching reicrence to the deaths of two members of the [Touse, Messrs.Leslie and Cochrane, taking the opportunity at the same time to publicly acknowledge his debt of gratitude to the latter for the counsel and assistance he had on many occasions given him in the discharge of his duty as troasurer and as a member of the Quebec Government.Then, craving the closest attention while he disclosed the more important details of their administration during the year ended on June 30 last.lie took up the question of the provincial finances, promising to give a correel, unvarnished and unimpeachable statement of our public debt.He recalled that in his budget speech for the year ending on June 30, 1903, he had estimated that our probable revenue would amount to $4.747,304.72.and RE QUEBEC LEGISLATURE.5 on Year\u2019s Operations HAT HE IS IN OPPOSITION showed that this surplus would have been much greater, that it would have reached $187,108.26, only that $138,013.14 were applied to reducing the net debt of the province to that extent.In addition.$124,893.47 were paid in subsidies to railways fixed by statutes anterior to 1897.As usual, he said some of his estimates had been exceeded, while others had fallen below the mark.Among the former.he enumerated lands, mines ond fisheries, which bad yielded an excess in this way of $222,300.24, law stamps one of $16.471.90; licenses one of $45,- 510.28; direc.iaxes on commercial corporations, $13,862.43; maintenance of the msane, $26,030.34, etc.ln connection with the Lands, Mines and Fisheries, which had given a total revenue of $1.- 602,300.24, he repeated what he said last year.that in the government's opinion it was a wise policy to offer each year for license a certain portion of our forest lands, until other profitable sources of revenue were available to meet our grow ing and at -least partially uncontrollable expenditure.To meet the objections of those who claimed that our forest linds should be treated as capital alone, and should he employed as capital, he drew attention to two important facts that we reduced our liabilities during the year $138,013.14, and during the past five vears our liabilities had been reduced out of the ordinary revenue of the province hy the sum of $813,074.43.REVENUE FROM LICENSES.Referring to the increase of the revenue from licenses, which had amounted to $30,971.28 over the previous year, and to $45,310.26 over his estimate, hc admitted that the law was not yet perfect, and he found that he was not the only person who had not succeeded in what appears to have been impossible so far both here and elsewhere, mnotwith- standing all the study given to the subject.He alluded to the suggestion that we should adopt the principle of the Got- lenburg system instead où the one 10W in vogue amongst us, an idea which had found favor even with our distinguished Governor-General, but what he knew from his own experience was that the adoption of such a scheme would necessitate the appointment of a special minister to look after its working, which | would take up his whole time, and he, | for one, would be glad to pass over the ! keys of the bureau of licenses with hs most sincere and devout benediction, so great were the trouble and perplexity p which it entailed.Meanwhile, he announced that he would have to ask for some amendments to cover ip defects in the law that had escaped notice last year, that as long as the law was on the statute book it should be enforced and respected and that some people were wholly wrong in imagining that it had been enacted solely to satisfy the conscience of the clergy and certain others of our population and that all should as a public duty, agree and co-operate with him both as to the seriousness and importance of the law and its proper wise and just administration.He reminded licensees and their frends that they were only granted their privileges subject to wel! defined conditions and unmistakable penalties and punishments for violation of the law, which should not be condoned, and he thanked the House for their co-operation, as a return to the old condition of things, when the Treasurer was ahnost constantly importuned to rennt the hnes imposed, would simply render his official life not worth living.COMMERCIAL CORPORATIONS.In regard to commercial corporations he referred to certain foreign insurance companies doing business without any office or agents and without paying anything to the province for the right to do so, which gave them an undue advantage over Canadian and other companies with offices in the province, He thought this should be stopped as far as possible.Last year, he said, he had complained tnat the ordinary and extraordinary expenditure (less railway subsidies) would | reach the sum of $4,733.852,77, leaving as the net result of the operations of the vear a surplus, small, it is true, but nevertheless satisfactorv.of 813,541.95.He! also evoked the memory of the gloomy predictions in which the government\u2019s principal opponents had indulged on that | occasion.They had pretended to see nothing but disaster ahead of us because tlat surplus amounted to only 813,000, but he was happy to say that those predictions had gone verv wide of the mark.as usual, and that.instexd of coming out with a surplus merely of $13.51.he had come out, notwithstanding an increased expenditure, with one of %$49.095.12.He | said that he was glad to be able to make ; this plegsant announcement and to con- | gratulate the House aud the province upon it, feeling sure \u2018\u2019iat all were patri- | otic enough to rejoice in it.Then, quoting from the public accounts, he showed that the total ordinary reve- mie of the vear had amounted to $5.099.- 001.07.and the total ordinary expenditure to $4.937.882.77.which gave an excess | o! $101.118.30 in receipts over ordinary ex- senditure.But in addition, there had been an extraordinary expenditure for public works and huildingz, eto.such as.the construction of a new building next te the Montreal enurt house, an iron bridge at Metanedia, ete, which was | properly chargeable to cavity] account.| but which had been met out of ordinary revenue and amounted to a total of 852.023.18.Dedurting this.too.from the revenue, there remained n balance of 849.- 095.12, which represente:l the excess of receipts over both ordinary and extraordinary expenditure.and constituted what he claimed to be the actual surplus on the operations of the year.He further of the non-payment of the railway tax by the subsidized roads and those operating them, but, in consequence of a judgment declaring one of the acts illegal, he had come to a compromise with some of the more important conpanies and firally settled the claims against them at fifty cents in the dollar, thereby increasing the receipts from this source by 2 321.47.; egarding the items of revenue which vieliled less than estimated, he particu- arly mentioned \u2018Interest on railway subsidies,\u201d which, he explained was due to the arbitrary action of the Dominion which, the Quebec Government claime to be illegal, in reducing the interest due on a certain capital from five to four and a half percent, and be added that, to obviate a similar thing in future, the House would be asked to pass an act to provide for submitting all lega! questions in dispute between the Dominion and the other provinces and ourselves to the Exchequer Court for decision.SUCCESSION DUTIES.He said the succession duties bad fal- den $96,017.82 below the estimate, but everyone knew that it was impossible to ; correctly foresee the revenue from that uncertain source.Important amend: ments to the actual law on the subject: would be submitted regard ng distine.! tions between bequests to charitable, re-' ligious or educational institutions andi those to strangers and the scale of duties between large and small estates, as the government thought that some changes might be made in these respects with justice, equity and advantage.\u2014 ! 1867, we were still receiving the same al- .THE VANTREAT DAILY WITNESS ur Having shown that the net excess of receipts over estimates was $291,606.35 he next showed how on.the other band the expenditure had also exceeded the estimates; which had cut down the surplus to $49,005.12.Among the prinoipal items of expense, which had thus overrun the estimates, he mentioned legis lation, including the cost of the genera! élection of 1904, administration of jur- tice, public works, - agricultural, lands mines and fisheries, lunatic asylums, muse cellaneous, ete.Regarding all these, ne entered into the fullest details:igiving the reasons for the increased outlays neces sitated and offering certain suggestions, especially relative to reducing the cost of the administration of justice, which was annually becoming a burthen beyond anticipation.As for agriculture he showed what the government had done towards promoting the progress and prosperity to our farmers, and he indicated why the public interests had demanded and justified the sale of the Compton agricultural sehool.\u201cHe spoke of the excellent dairy school founded at St.Hyacinthe and referred to in the Speech from the Throne, EDUCATION.Then taking up the important question of education, he showed that $488,692.31 had been spent upon it last year, which was $6,127.81 more than the previous year.He stated that the government policy.as outlined on several occasions y the Premier, was entirely approved by his colleagues and also, he was sure by every member of the House; but he would merely add that the government would do its whole duty in the matter consistently with its pledge to the country to keep the expenditure within the revenue.And, although a great deal had been done for agriculture sinee 1897, he assured\u2019 them that education both in town and country had neither been ignored nor neglected by the government.In corroboration of this, he gave some interesting and instructive statistics.Regarding night schools, he questioned whether they were as necessary as for merly, and suggested that the money spent upon them, $22,000, might now be better employed in improving the .schools in the poorer municipalities.- COLONIZATION.With respect to colonization, on which | the sum of $140,500 was spent, he de clared himself to be a convert to the opening up and settlement of our.northern hinterland, but his only regret: was that he would not enter upon such Je- velopments as the possibilities the North called for.He trusted, however, that at no distant date our means might permit of \u2018a more aggressive caloniza- tion poliey.: In regard to lunatic asylums, he observed that there was no more sad.com mentary on the mental condition.of + arge number of our people than the fact that it now required over $400,000.a year to maintain the insane.In faot, last year, their maintenance had cos.$465,- 415.54, out of which $116,030.34 hos fou derived from private patients and: muni- pal Contributions; but he was assured ha, e expenditure for nex De 420 00 p next year would \u20ac compared the receipts andi e penditure of 1904-05 with those of; 19\u20ac3- 04 and showed an excess in receipts of 9158,314.53 on the former over the latter.On the other hand, the net increase of ordinary expenditure in 1904-05 over the previous year was $192,043.63.For the year 1906-07, he estimated the total receipts at $4,674,848.02, and the expenditure, both ordinary and extraordinary, at $4,643,993.17, which would give à surplus of $30,854.85.Speaking of the assets and liabilities, he showed that the nat decrease during the year wags $138,013.14, which left on June 30 the total funded and unfynded debt of the province at $25,083,466.82 the funded debt coverin: $24,502,473.13 of this and the unfunded debt $1,480,974.60.CASH OPERATIONS.Sp Under the head of Cash Operations he mentioned incidentally that the Consolidated Railway Fund provided by stn- tute was exhausted in 1902, since which time the railway subsidies earned have been paid annually out of the ordinary revenue and cash operations.le also stated that the Attorney-General had now under consideration important questions relating to the disposition of the 37,600,000 proceeds of the Quebec, Montreal & Occidental Railway, seven million dollars of which will be paid to us this year by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.The opinion which he wiil arrive at will influence the government in its action with respect to the temporary loan of seven hundred thousand dollars effected with the Bank of Montreal, which is carried at four percent, and the balance of railway subsidies paid out of the consolidated revenue fund and the balance still remaining unpaid and yet to be earned.STATUTE REVISION.A brief reference was made to the progress of the work of revising the statutes, which cost up to June 30 last $21.- 419.38, and the Treasurer took up and dcalt with the important question of taxes.He recalled that prior to Confederation the province exercised customs excise and other igdirect taxation, but the three former had been transferred to the Dominion and, in lieu thereof, it had been given a fixed subsidy calculated according to the population of 1861; but.notwithstanding the enormous increase in revenue from customs and excise since lowance which was made to us at Confederation.As our population increased our expenditure also necessarily increased.The increase of our population was a source of benefit to the Dominion finances; it increased the burden upon the provincial finances, and yet the Do- | minion had been very slow to recognize and do its duty.He added that they had every reason to expect that this injustice would soon cease, but, as it had not and the hoped:for readjustment had not vet been effected, he deferred holding out any buoyant expectancy of an increase of our revenue from this source for the coming year.Therefore, because our population was increasing.because i sive words, which were greeted the confines of settlement were being roli- ed back by the opening up to colonists of new and valuable districts, and because increased expenditure was a necessary consequence of this and of the development and progress going om about us, we must, ding the settlement of this question, ind new sources of revenue.TAX ON COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS, Touching upon the comment and adverse criticism in this connection upon the tax imposed on non-resident commer- cal travellers and on transfers of stocks, etc., he said that the government considered that the former tax was a iar one in the interest of and for the protection of Canadian business houses, as well as in the interest of the revenue.Like a new piece of machinery, a new law was seldom found to work satisfactorily at first and experience had shown that it might be amended to advantage.his the government intended to do.-l'he stock tax was likewise a new experience and, with a view to improve the law and render it more difficult to evade, ameni- ments thereto would also be introduced.In concluding, he explained that he had deemed it necsssiry to go Into fuller details than usual of our uet financial condition, because of the recent remarks of a member who professed.to be a supporter of the goverament (Mr.Perrault), and because certain of the press of the province were doing the government a great Injustice and the province a signal injury by insinuating and even asserting that ministers were keeping back from the public the true condition of our finances, that they were telling only part ot the truth and that if they told the whole, it would be seen that we are much worse off than we are willing to admit.He declared that the statement just submitted by him was true and honest in every particular and contained correct and umm- peachable results and conclusions, without reservation, manipulation or Jugglery of any kind.He claimed that the government had veen faithful to the pledge given by the party to the country in 1897, renewed in 1900 and 1904 to keep the expenditure within the revenue and, after alluding ia glowing terms to the prosperity of the province and its bright prospects, he wound up with the following eloquent and unpres- with prolonged applause.\u2018Let 1s continue the wise, prudent, moderately progressive, but stable and sure policy which we have followed, and which has met with such favorable comment in the press, even of our op- ponente, rather than return to the wild extravagant, though perhaps more Eril- liant and to some more attractive policy of what is now becoming in a measure the dim and distant past, and thus ccn- tinue to merit that great confide.rce which has been reposed in us.Except for occasional breaks to answer questions or objectiong by Mr.Perrault, the Treasurer spoke umnter- ruptedly for over an hour and a bali and was listened to with great otten- tion throughout.MR.PERRAULT BPEAKS.Mr.Perrault followed brietly, denying that he was in opposition to the govern- meat, to whom he was most friendly, but still claiming that in some particulars the \u2018lreasurer\u2019s figures and conclusions were misleading.WENT INTO SUPPLY.Finally, after a short discussion, the House went into Supply and adopted the item of the estimates relative to the public debt, when other business was taken up and a number of private bills, including those of the \u2018l'rataigar Institute, the Montefiore Club and the Montreal Street Railway, received their second.readings and were sent :o committee.The government, with remarkable promptitude, laid on the table all the papers relating to the temporary !van of $700,000 from the Bank of Montreal, which were only moved for yesterday by Mr.Perrault, At six o'clock the adjournment was reached.Mr.l.anglois has given notice of motion for papers relative to the tax on life insurance companies and to the question of state insurance; he will also ask how many of the primary schools in the province have complied with the regulations of the Council of Public Instruction respecting ventilation.Mr.Mackenzie has also given notice that he will ask the government for m- formation regarding the motions and amendments made, adopted or rejected at Tuesday's meeting of the Protestant Committee of the Council of Public Instruction, the names of those who were present and voted, and of those v.ho abstained from voting.HASTEN HOME TO VOTE The Hon.Mr.Prevost

by the wup- porters of Alderman Wilson and Dr.J.P.Marin, contestants for seat No.2 Hochelaga ward.\u2019 Members of Alderman Wilson's committee state that the meeting was puck: ed by supporters of Dr, Marin, and that different speakers were continually 1n- terrupted.This finally led to a fight between two men, in which others soon joined.The police were called to qu et the disturbance.and, as Captain Baignet and several of his men from an east St.Catherine street station, had some catti- culty in handling the crowd, whieh, however, was doing more shouting than fighting, a call was sent to the Craig street staton for more men.Sergeant Maloney and eight men responding, but on arrival found that there was no need for their services.On \u2018he advice of both candidates.the crovd dispersed in an orderly manner.NATURAL ECONOMY WHAT A MILD WINTER ENABLES THE CITY TO SAVE IN THE SNOW-CLEANING DEPARY- MENT.Grumbling at the mildness and unseasonable character of the present winter 15 almost universal.It is questionable whether the taxpayers have given a thought, however, to the economy which this mild weather 1s enabling the Roads Department to effect in connection with the snow-cleaning expenditure.A glance at the figures for the current year, compared with those for the corresponding period last winter, will show that this 1s by no means an inconsiderable item.\u2018lo date so far the total amount spent en clearing snow from the streeis on which there are street car tracks is $12,533.90, of which the city\u2019s share is exactly halt \u2014 $6,206.90.Last winter, to Feb.3, the expenditure wus $74,307.66, the city's share of this being %37,153 83.\u2018There has therefore been a saving to date ot no less than $30,886.93.which is a material figore, These details, it should be pointed out, take no account whatever of the amount spent on cleaning suow from the sidewalks and other streets, under the new snow-cleaning by-law introduced by Ald.Carter last fall.COMPANY NOT
