of your early manhood, we marked with pride the gentle, chivalrous enthusiasm of a nature truly roval.We honored you above all as the son of your already Venerable, and thrice venerated mother, Victoria the Good, the living exponent of womanhood at its highest, our ideal Queen and Sovereign.Some few members of the schoolgirl group who pressed around you then are with us still to-day.They bear witness that the expectations of those distant years have been nobly realized by Your Royal Highness.You came tno us in the seed-time of your high career.when the sowing Vet awaited your hand.You return to gladden our dear land with the garnered wisdom of a ripened experience, earnestly ready to further our interests as those of a people wholly akin.You return, moreover, with the cultured

chief ruler, direct our national welfare along the paths that lead under God to security, honor and peace.His Royal Highness in replying, spoke in French, and told his hearers how pleased he was to revisit their institution after a lapse of forty years.He congratulated the Superior and the ladies of the Convent, who are doing such a good work in educating and training the young ladies under their care, and wished them every success.He paid a compliment to the ladies of the Convent for the general excellence of the institution.After he had finished speaking.the royal party was conducted to the chapel, which they admired greatly.Towards the end of the royal visit, little Miss Virginia O\u2019Brien, who was standing with a group of small white \u2018veked girls, ran out and approach- ag His Royal Highness, said: \u201cear Prince and sweet ladies, I rv to come in so quickly, but s yg has heen forgotten, sure.5 as listening very hard over he door and I never heard nliday, and T

Starland moving picture theatre.The managers of that show had placarded their theatre front with large pictures Gealing with the alleged Ital- fan atrocities in Tripoli.They overlooked, however, the presence of many natives of Sunny \u2018Italy ïin Montreal, especlally in thé shoe-shine shops of, -St.Catherine and St.Lawrence streets.When they saw the posters.their patriotic blood boiled within them and they determined -that the .pictures should not be shown.A committee visited the manager of the theatre, but did not succeed in having the objectionable films removed.\u2018Then a visit was

ANOTHER REAL ESTATE DEAL Toronto Says Robert Simpson Company Has Purchased Uptown Business Site HIGH SCHOOL MENTIONED.Local Real Estate Dealers Considered Site Too Small For Modern Departmental Building.The following despatch was received from Toronto last night:\u2014 \u2018One of the most valuable business sites in the retail district of Montreal has just been purchased hy the Robert Simpson Company, of To- rontn, for the better accommodation of their huge trade in that city.The property comprises a large frontage on St.Catherine street, just east of Peel street, and directly opposite the main entrance of the new Mount Royal Hotel, under construction on the southeast corner.The depth is about 300 feet, and the price, though not definitely known, will probably be in excess of six figures.The company\u2019s bitsiness will be -con- tinued in\u2019 thé new stôre under the present title of John Murphy & Co.\u2018but.the greatly increased area Will enable a considerable extension of stock to be carried; so that what is now chiefly a high class dry goods house will become in effect a general departmental store similar to that 1n Toronto.or a long time the Murphy business has heen limited by reason of the insufficient space in the present store, and the purchase at Peel street has also been influenced by the recent westward trend of the Montreal shopping district.\u2019 Local real estate dealers are clined to think that if there is truth in the report it.must be High School site on Peel street that has been secured.They say that it is the only site within the locality indicated that is large enough to ac- comméôdate such a .business.The Tooke properties west of the John Murphy store are not for sale, while Mr.Fitz James E.Browne, a director of the Standard.Realties Company, the owner of the buildings east of it, says they have had no recent offer or negotiations for their premises.Even if it had been purchased, the combined site would be too small for a modern departmental building.The area required is found in\u2018the High School site, the unfavorable feature, however, being its location on a side street.STABBED WITH DIRK Russian

of Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad for Shooting W.E.D.Stokes New York, Dec.16.\u2014 Not guilty\u2019 was the verdict returned late yesterday, freeing Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad of criminal] charges on which they had been held since last June for the shooting of the millionnaire sportsman and hotel proprietor, W.E.D.Stokes.The jury arrived at its verdict after slightly less than an hours

serious charge, however, the jurors were relieved by Justice Marcus, who astounded the defence by the eleventh hour announcement that the district attorney would withdraw the first count.The Court restricted the jury to the second and third counts, which charged respectively assault 4m the first degree with.intent to Kill, assault in the second degree with intent to do bodily \u201charde Most

Wainwright, Counsel for Dame Clouatre, Criticises Judge's Decision SHOULD LAW REMAIN AS IT IS?Mr.Justice Charbonneau Manifests Deep Interest Throughout Whole Hearing.M-.Justice Charbonneau has now taken in tuid the -determination of the future six.us of Dame Clouatre, once the wife of Eugene Hebert, but whosc marriage: was declared null and void by Mr.Justice Laurendeau in March last.Mr.Arnold Wainwright, the woman's counsel, concluded his argument yesterday afternoon, declaring that if the system of law in this province is what it is represented to be in\u2019 the Judgments of Justices Jette and Le- mieux, then it was a monstrous and unreasonable thing, and designed to entrap the unwary.A person was liable, he said, to go before an officer who has been given power to marry by the State, and who acted it.\"iriue of a license emanating from the King's authority.If that marriage was invalid, then the law was not a protection to the public, as all laws of marriage were supposed to be, but a menace to the State and to the individual.: He asked His Lordship to determine once and for all whether this law should remain the monstrous and unreasonable thing it is Under a system where only one set of ministers would be allowed the exclusive right to.officiate at marriage ceremonies there would, at any rate, be no danger of deception for innocent parties, whereas under a system where the validity of the union depends on the faith of the contracting parties, there was a constant danger to all concerned.During the afternoon, Mr.Wainwright delved again into history for his arguments, and pointed out that not.until 1795 were Catholic priests and Protestant ministers constituted public officers in matters of marriage in this country.At this time the only Protestant ministers holding this power were those of the Anglican Church and of the Church of Scotland.With the advent of ministers of other sects, difficulties arose, and subsequently legislation was passed, declaring that mar- rlages solemnized before ministers of such sects should be confirmed and declared valld in law.In that statute no mention was made of the limited power of a minister to act or officiate at the marriage ceremony of those only who were adherents of hig church.He pointed out that even in the Catholic Church to-day a marriage between a Catholic and a Protestant was celebrated or.solemnized.Throughout the whole hearing, Mr.Justice Charbonneau had tnhanifested ,the deepest interest in the arguments, {has taken copious notes, and has asked innumerable questions.After the hearing he examined the volumes which had been used by Mr.Wainwright.WARNING TO FIREMEN Should be Careful When Leaning Out of Engine Cab Window John Talbot, 34 years of age, of Tur- \u2018cot, a

was passing a- &witch at the time, and a box car had been left too.close to.the point where the tracks converge, and he was struck on the head.Although he is pretty serjously cut, he is-not in a

Takes Place Soon i Shanghai, Dec.18.\u2014 The vomi: z week will be the most notable in the .history of the revolution in China Tang Shao Yi, the Imperial plenipotentiary appointed bY Premier Shih Kai to endeavor to negotiate terms of peace with the victorious revolutionaries, is to arrive in Shanghai early on Sunday.He is accom- | panied by a suite of assistants, and personal servants numbering no fewer than eighty.The party is making the voyage from Hankow in the | chartered river noat \u2018Tung Ting.On ! their arrival here they will have trs- velled about 800 miles along the river Yangtse, which is patrolled by a score of revolutionary cruisers and gunboats.They will have passed under the guns of a dozen well-fortified points and will have touched numerous towns in possession of and gcv- erned by revolutionaries.Tang Shao Yi will not in fact have seen an Dn- perial soldier or a yellow flag since he left Hankow.Included in Tang Shan Yi's party 4re two prominent officials, Yen Shi =i, former president of the Board of Finances, and Yuan Shi Chi, former president of the Board of Conmuni- cations, who will act as bis counsellors at the peace conference.He has also with him, twenty-two representatives of different provinces of China who have been selected by Premier Yuan Shih Kai for the purpose of offsetting the revolutionary convention now sitting at Nanking.Four reprcsentatives of Gen Li Yuen Heng, the revolutionary leader, are travelling on the same boat with Lang Shao Yi and his party.Wu Ting Fing, recently selected as Foreign Minister of the Republican cabinet, who is directing the reception of Tang Shao Yi, will send two refresentatives to meet the party at its landing at the settlement.These are named Wong \u2018Chung Wai and Tasai Chu Ting.According to present arrangements Tang Shao Yi and his two counsellors Yen Shi Si and Yang Shi Chi, will take up their quarters at the Kaleo Hotel, while the remainder of his suite will put up at other hotels, The municipality of Shanghai has offered the town hall as a place for the meetings of the peace conference.This proposal has already been ac¢- cepted by Wu Ting Fang, on the condition that Tang Shao Yi approves of his choice.; All the other conditions of the peace conference will be arranged later when the representatives of both sides have arrived.The best observers among the influential Chinese believe that there is considerable possibility of a settlement heing reached during the.c-n- ference as a resuit of mutual fore cessions.The Republicans are certainly at the present moment determined to deL:and that the dynasty be brought to a close and that the Manchus as a class or clan be merged with the Chinese together with their dependencies, ; It is on this point that a compromise may eventually be reached, namely, that the Emperor be retained as a Chinaman at the head of a new dynasty.It may be that he will become constitutional monarch, with a regent to be elected by the people, but on an extremely limited franchise.The National Congress, if the propositnon Is accepted, will have its members elected by each province, and will control the Imperial finances, as well as the army and navy.Should the conference at Shanghai fail to reach an agreement the Republican military leaders are confident that they can eventually take Pekin.Many of these are irreconcilably opposed to a monarchy, and assert that a republic is inevitable.It is believed that Tang Shao Yi is recognizing this trend of affairs and advising Premier Yuan Shih Kai to accept the presidency of the Republic, with Dr.Sun Yat Sen as vice- president.It is thought that the Manchu dynasty will be forced to abdicate and to accept the terms offered by the Republicans, which will be most liberal.ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY.Yin | 1 Annual Meeting Reveals a Very - Successful Year\u2014Election of Officers.The \u2018annual meeting of the Numismatics and Antiquarian Society was held last

we knew he was a good doctor, and that was all .we cared about.In.conclusion; let me say that we.have no patronage list for \u2018purchasing \u2018material required for the harbor; we created a Purchasing Department when we were appointed, also secured a good competent Purchasing Agent, and who has always had a \u2018free hand, and always will have under our .regime, to buy from whom he pleases, the same as a Purchasing \u2018Agent would in connection with any large industrial concern, from the best firm at the lowest possible price and on the best terms.Large quantities of material that are required public tenders are always called for, and the lowest biddér gets the business, The great problem that is confronting Canada to-day is that of trans- portdtion, and especially the providing of the nevessory terminal facilities.\u201d \"The Port of Montreal developments are not yet up to the demand notwithstanding that no time has been lost during the last five years.You may gain some idea of the magnitude of the work when.I state to you that during the last five years $9,000,000 has been \u201cspent in developing the Port, and that during the season of navigation.there are 3,000 men employed carrying out these:large plans.You will also be glad.to know that the present \u201cMinister of \u2018Marine, and Fisheries, .the Hon.J.D.Dazen, has most favorably entertained \u2018the Commissioners\u2019, | request for\u2019 \u2018a fur] afs $6,000,080.which *wei ha son.to believe \"wil pass Parliament, without.any cariticism from either side, after the holiday season.I am a busy business man, as you know, and cannot remain very long a member of the Harbor Board.1 have, however, a very great desire to remain a short time yet; with my colleagues, to see the dry dock put in position this coming summer, and the large shipbuilding and repairing plant completed br the well-known British firm of Vickers, Limited, and ih addition the \u2018large new elevator and other works.When :these- works are completed, and which I trust will be in the near future, I will resign my position, as 1 have already intimated, not because I do not enjoy it and like the work, but simply owing to pressure of business, If anything, however, should in- the present board should not have that.absolute .freedom of action that is necessary to carry out the work, then I would at once place my resignation in the hands of the Government.I have no fear that this will take place, as.I know that the present Minister of \u2018Marine -and Fisheries, and his colleagues, are anxious to make the Port of-Montreal the most modern and best equipped on this continent.\u201cLA BOHEME\u2019 A thousand.hearts beat happily\u2014 and more\u2014last night at His.Majesty\u2019s Theatre, when \u2018La \u2018Boheme\u2019 was presented: by an all-star caste before the Duke and \u2018Duchess\u2019 \u201cof Connaught and the Princess Patricia, and an audience that packed the theatre from floor to ceiling.A more finishéd production of.this \u2018masterpiece of Puccini was never given on this or any other stage, and.no more enthusiastic, | ahd,-at the same time, discriminating audience, \u2018ever enjoyed it.There was an electric thrill running through the house which was.felt by performers and audience alike, and this soon produced such \u2018en rapport as to ensure.the highest Tésults.Curiosity\u2019 was maturally keen as to what Mme, De- .reyne would maké of the part: of.\u2018Musetta\u2019 \u2018She achieved a triuumph, endowing the charaeter with an iden- | tity which stood out refreshingly from the traditional \u2018Musettas\u2019 and which gave tone and quality to the whole production.Mme.Ferrabini as \u2018Mimi\u2019 excelled herself.It has aiways been one of her most successful impersonations, both histrionically and vocally, and last night the atmosphere, the environment, were so inspiring -that she soared into the empyrean of art, winged her way as it were on to the helghts of Parnassus.Signor Columbini as \u2018Rodolphe, was also at his\u2019 best; and that is \u201chigh praise.His voice rang clear and true \u2018through all the.emotions of the part and these, too, wére expressed facially :with most exquisite sensibility.Huberty, as \u2018Colline\u2019; -Ni- côlletti, as \u2018Marcel, and Cervi, as \u2018Schaunard,\u2019 made a remarkable team, and- Marti, took the small part of .\u2018Benoit\u201d very well: Madame.Férrabini: was the proud recipient of'a beautiful bouquet of flowers from the royal box, and Ma- \u2018dame Dereyne was presented.with a charming basket of flowers.The curtain -calls were insistent, the artists having to appédr and reappear again and again, and none who were fortunate, enough to be at His Majesty's Theatre last evening win ever forget it.Society was present in \u2018full \u2018force, -and the appearance of the house, with beautiful.gowns, dnd.flashing.gi ms, britliant- i ©.extreme.wie \u201cMenara.win oppose.Ala: Lussier in.Bordeaux: \u2018Ward if he sséks ÿe-ététtion at \u2018the .polls - for\u2019 the.City Februg was el on\u2019 \u201cWednesday.evening.and demanding that He .be | me tu | .and.laee The Commissioners were un- \u2018Dale, oe THE MONTREAL DAILY PERSONALS.\u201cTheir, Royal \u2018Highnesses the Gover- nuught attended the opera .at His Majesty's Theatre last night;

N.Y., de- \u2018livered his illustrated lecture on Egypt.Mr.Perry, who addressed the Art As- _sociation here in 1900, has visited the Orient a number of times, and many \u2018of \u2018the pictures used in |his.address \u2018Were gecured by himself during his | visits.He is an experienced lecturer, 4] and there was not a \u2018dull moment in his.evening.The president of the Art Association, Dr.Gardner, introduced him: to the audience.: , Mr.Perry said that many people imagined that art was.largely modern and \u2018were entirely: ignorant of the remarkable.works .of art produced in Egypt nearly three thousand years before the Christian era.In: the earliest period \u2018flint ornaments of cléver work- manship- had been found; later gold and copper.was used and fifteen hun- - dred years before Clirist.there was a brilliant art flourishing in - Egypt.The -artitofs ancient Egypt centred dargely out Cairo, Fhebes and Memp is, and.the greater part of it originated because of the intensely re- liglious natures of the Oriental peoples.He believed in a soul and! a resurrection, and 3,000 years before Christian art.conceived of a Madonna, the Egyptians had carved the embryo of that painting on one of their tambs.The sculpturing of models, the carving \u2018of figures and the painting of model and statue in natural hues was largely inspired by their religious belief.The great pyramids were \u2018but tombs.of great kings and in those instances where their entrances had been discovered, yielded a great wealth \u2018of art treasures and information con- -| cerning an era and a \u2018race of supreme importance.Mr.Perry prefaced his.address by declaring that he wished to.repeat what he had said on many occasions when lecturing in the United States that he had alwéys been deeply impressed with what the English people had done for all the peoples of .the East with whom they had come-in con- LACHINE TOWN COUNCIL.Building Permit Privately Granted -by \u2018Members Causes Uproar.ip The first meeting of the \"Lachine Town Council since the municipal elec- tiong was held this week, Mayor Rath- well\u2019 presiding.The standing committees were appointed for the year, with the follow- Ang.chairmen: Fisance, A.Leger;

inscribed.\u2014permimmtete INCREASING INTELLIGENCE.Mr.Carnegie could not have been precisely reported in a recent despatch which represented him as saying at the Canadian Club in New York that all he had done for the United States he had extended to Canada.He had certainly extended \u2018his library beneficence and his \u2018professorial pensions in the most generous and plenary way to Canada, but his most recent gift on a large scale is the sum of twenty- five million dollars for the purpose of increasing the intelligence of the people of the United States.There was a period, when, measured by the general spread of education, the average intelligence was higher in the United States than in England.It wes found that raw recruits enlisted in the northem army, at the time of the Civil.War, were more readily drilled Into soldiers than the raw recruits which England was at that time furnishing\u2019 to the British army.The difference was attributed to the fact that practically all the recruits in the United States had had a com- .mon school education, while only a small proportion of those in.England had this advantage.But the English Education Act of 1870 has worked wonders, and the average intelligence .in England Has immensely risen in forty years.The maligned and abused board schools have effected a national transformation, and the old comparison with the United States has.lost its force.That the national mind in England has -als0, as a consequence, become more Tesponsive to wider ideals is proved by the very form and spirit of such addresses as that of Earl Grey the other day, in which he called upon the mother country to lead the way in social reform for the whole Empire.Half a century ago, such an appeal would nôt have been meaningless to those who had grasped the full import of the great message of Cobden and Bright\u2014noblest of modern imperialists!\u2014but it is to-day\u2019s- enlarged .area of general intelligence which brings Lord Grey's call to action within the bounds of the possible.- He speaks to en educated peo- ple\u2014at least to a people the great mass of whom are far better educated than they were fifty years ago, and whose progress in géneral intelligence is a necessary foundation for progress in social reform.Coming also from a statesman of the standing of Lord Grey, the appral serves to slow how far the mother country has travelled since the days of 1832, and the Reform Bill.There is constant work ahead for statesmen and patriots, but much has been\u2019 accomplished for the betterment of the mass of the people to encourage hope for the future, and it has been accomplished very largely by means of education |, Mr.Carnegie may be eccentrie.but he is -exceedingly- shrewd.and he no doubt sees clearly enough that the huge social problems confronting his people can only be solved by an uplift of general intelligence in the electorate \u2014their only protection against impossible social fads on the one hand -and predatory legislation on the other.Canada is not superior to the need of such a movement.The average intelligence, measured by education effort, ig with us far from making the gains that it should be making if we are rightly to assimilate our new citizens.or if our own people are to hold their own, even in material progress, with other nations.The duty of providing more largely for education.both by provincial governments and by the In- cal communities, has been frequently urged in these columns, but it will have to be urged unceasingly until success is attained.There is also a vast work possible yet on the part of the universities in the direction of uni- vergity extension.If the Dominion \u2018education in any form besides the in that of augme the amount of university

He looks down the street and starts wildly in that direction, and reaches a high board fence just as a cat's tail\u2014 a monstrous tail for such a little cat \u2014ix vanishing over the top of it.Ie is beaten: the cat showed not only more courage than he had, but a great \u2018deal more gemeralship.-\u2014propm0 A CAT'S WAIT FOR HER SHIP.An instance of remarkable sagacity displayed by a cat in connection with the oil tank steamer Bayonne, once loading at Point Breeze, was the pre- \u2018vaillng topic of conversation among \u2018the officials of the custom House and the employees of the Atlantic Refining Company, says the Philadelphia \u2018Times.\u2019 It is a true story, and is vouched for by the crew of the Bayonne, the boarding officers and all others having to do with the vessel.\u2018When, the Bayonne came to Phila- deiphia about ceven weeks previously, \u2018t had as a pet a black and white pussy, w.iose birthplace was far beyond the Italian Alps.The cat, which was a present to Captain Von Hugo, had accompanied him on several voyages.\u2018While the big oil-tanker was loading its cargo at Point Breeze, to the horror of the captain .and the consternation of the steward, who was charged with its keeping, ths animal disappeared the day after presenting \u2018to the ship four beautiful kittens.Well organized parties searched the tanker, and thoroughly explored the streets and wharves around the oll works, but all to no avail.Pussy 15th se 00 20 TW TF oF SF od a0 9 a.00 te a 04 8e 0e ve ve 18 2ist.: ve we ee .\u2026.14 Arranged in order of merit, the fol- owing were given their Ernest \u201cWalford.C.D.Hardie.A, Knowles.A.Kyle.G.B.FT.0 10 00 H.BE.shill.W.Buckley.Gordon Gould .C.Weston.A.Stikeman ,.-.14th Montreal J.Porter .i.l4th Montreal All round cords were won by:\u2014 A Knowles.4th Montreal J.Curran.«.4th Montreal McDonald .¢ «+ «.5th Montreal W.Munro.« .o.bth Montreal .Cashion.5th Montreal Binemore .5th Montreal Gould.11th Montreal .Rifkin .+.11th Montreal Stikeman.14th Montreal J.Porter .esse oo .14th Montreal W.Buckley.14th Montreal «.14th Montreal .-21st Montreal .4th Montreal .bth Montreal .14th Montreal .11th Montreal .J4th Montreal R.Binegmore, Jr .6th Montreal Whilst King Scout Badges were won by:\u2014 A.Knowles .+.4th Montreal R.Binemore;

Medill.It arose with the growth of the times; -but it is no less a perplexity and a \u201cdanger.The \u2018system\u2019 in the American newspaper proceeds from \u2018the fact that the \u2018subscriber, who buys the newspaper | \u201cthat it may teach him about his times: | and fight his \u2018battles against privilege, \u2018is \u2018not paying for that mewspaper.The advertisers are paying\u2014about one percent of the population, and often the very one percent united, in the present condition of American.\u201csociety, \u201c with-[ the, powers most ; dangerous to - the common weal.That, however, is not quite the taproot of the trouble.~The Amerdcan newspaper has become 3 great com-: mercial enterprise.A million dotlars\u2014 yard-stick of big business\u2014seems like a pauper\u2019s purse beside the fictitious or actual value of many metropolitan journals.The .possibilities of profit and loss vary between the Chicago \u2018News'® net earnings of $800,000 per annum and the $400,000 dropped in one year to establish a new kind of | journalism in Boston.Men and.com-: \u2018panies controllirig such\u2019 funds look at\u2019 business in the business way.s It has followed inevitably that the controlling head of most newspapers, the so-.called publisher, is not an editor with\u2019 the professional point of view, but a.| business man.When the American Newspaper \u2018Publishers\u2019 Association.\u2018meets in\u2019 national convention, \u201cit does\" not discuss methods of news-gather- ing nor editorial problems.The: ad- «dresses treat of the price of white pa~ per, of new machinery, of ;organization for: extending circulation, of the \u2018advertising rate.* The old \u2018sixpenny\u2019 newspaper, which flourished hefore the time of Bennétt took advertisements; though it did not really need them.Its editorial running expenses were low; it could make profits on its sales alone.From the moment when the New York \u2018Sun\u2019 and À \u2018Herald\u2019\u2014now, it happens, two and, three-cent- papers\u2014entered the field\u2019 at a price of one cent, advertising bécame a vital necessity.Hudson, the wold newspaper historian, stops for a moment his consideration of evapor-_ ated issues to record that Bennett systematized advertising, put it-on a cash\u2019| basis, and established a regular corps of solicitors.He had to do-it in order to live.So did the old editors of | high purpose who followed him.\u2018For after Day and Bennett cheapened the price on the street, the six-cent metropolitan newspaper departed this life.Only New Otleans: and the Pacific \u2018coast held to a price even as high as five cents\u2014New Orleans.because it Is the only water from the original Caledonia Spring- hence merits its title of THE WATER OF QUALITY| MAGtdoes you good and | is good to drink.\u2019 \u201cfan Ideal place for.Children to play.\u2018 ; -In summer\u2019 \u2018this is \u2018left \u2018open and\u2019 : creens.}ed.{-Pleasant with a wide fireplace]: thé} stairs go up from the rear with the | \u201ccellar stairs underneath.The.estimated Co .cost.is $2,000, which, of course, -
