debt of twenty-six million dollars, apom which an annual interest of a million and a quarter dollars has to be paid, the hapless taxpayers of Montreal have to wade through streets ankle-deep in slush, and all for the privilege of having Alderman Prefontaine and his allies for rulers.When these worthies managed to force the Council to borrow the major part of this enormous sum it was on the plea that the streets would be so improved and taken care of that the future would never know what unkept streets meant.How well such promises as these have been kept our flowing streets bear eloquent witness.The head of the Road Department cannot keep the streets clean because, as he avers, he has not been given sufficient money, while the Council cannot give more money for this purpose on account of having so much to pay in interest charges.The meaning of all this is that citizens will have to keep on floundering through mud because almost half of the city\u2019s splendid revenue has to be taken to annually pay the price of having the czar of Hochelaga Ward at the helm of our civic affairs.It is marvellous how lessons such as these can be lost upon the electorate, yet they seem to be.enr The Supreme Ccurt of the United States has declared railway traffic combinations illegal, in condemnation of several lower courts by which they have lately been declared legal.Legislation was well known to have exhausted its utmost efforts to outlaw such arrangements.When, therefore, one court after another found them to be still legal it only elicited the remark so commonly heard in the United States that it is very difficult to get a judgment from the courts at variance with any large financial interest.How far there may be ground in that country for such remarks must be left to the judgment of its own people, who seem freely to harbor the suspicion.It is ground for gratitude that no such suspicions are rife with regard to Canadian courts, Some of our courts are commonly accounted as lacking independence where matters ecclesiastical are concerned, and the people of Canada have for this reason clung to the appeal to the foot of the throne as the palladium of their liberties ; but while they have accuged some of religious servility and even of, political servility, they have never accured any of financial servility.© am AC RAT rE hg CTE rR CE VV CARR TIO THE MONTREAL THE OPENING OF THE SESSION.The second session of the eighth parliament of the Dominion opens to-day under circumstances very auspicious for the governmert.The Laurier administration is now complete in members, the appointment of Mr.Clifford Sifton to the Department of the Interior having completed the government and given the North-West its representative in the Privy Council.The form of the Cabi- ret will not be final until the Comptrollers of Customs and Inland Revenue, Mr.Paterson and Sir Henri Joly de Lotbin- iere, as well, perhaps, as the Solicitor- General, Mr, Fitzpatrick, are, as they are most worthy of being, called to the inner council.The only fault to be found with the government now is that it is unnecessarily strong, both in talents and im numbers, composed as it is of seventeen members, tio of whom are, however, without portfolios.The British Cabinet is composed of only nineteen members and the United States executive of eight members, though the comparison is hardly fair, as the British Government has many members not of Cabinet rank and the United States Cabinet is a purely executive body, not charged with political, legislative and parlianten- tary duties as our government is.The Laurier Government also has the satisfaction of meeting parliament ater having received from not a few constituencies a popular endorsement in hy-elec- tions.Of eight by-elections it has carried all but one, and comes bact to parliament with a reinforced following.It has won three seats and has besides representatives in two seats which were vacant last session, because the Le Fe oan msi af SE ESS PRIM ES.pe CEE se Bh reypen 3: 2 Sl Ps URI ES Kot WE a = DAILY WITNESS.Government should, however, persist in its friendly attitude, as we believe it intends to do, at least until commissions on tariff relations representing both countries shall have conferred together and tried to arrive at an agreement covering as wide tariff schedules as possible.In the meantime a general scheme of tariff reform simplifying the tariff, making the duties broader and more even over great classes of goods, substituting ad valorem for specific duties, and thus relieving the purchasers of the cheaper classes of goods of the unjustly heavy burden of taxation, will probably be carried through by the government.No doubt an effort will be madz to reverse the protection method of taxing British imports more heavily than American ones, and as much encouragement as possible be given to British trade.THE EARTHQUAKE.WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT IT.A small boy, evidently possessing the germs of a strong poetic imagination, yesterday informed his companions in one of the junior classes of Aberdeen school that he had seen the earthquake in bodily appearance on Tuesday.It was of a \u2018reddish green\u2019 color, had a square head and a long tail, which latter it beat against the ground.He added that he ran after it wishing to bring it home to his mother, but it escaped over the mountain.The shock of earthquake made itself manifest on St.James street.One of the occupants of a large building rushed out on the street and the moment she reached it recovered herself sufficiently to call up to the servant girl, who was looking out of the window, to fetch down the baby right away.conetituencies had elected members who chose to sit for other constituencies which had also elected them.The House of Commons, therefore, is now composed of a hundred and twenty-two Liberals, eighty three Patrons and three Indeperdents, counting Mr.Robertson of Toronto an Independent and Mr.Clarke Wallace a Conservative.There are five vacant unrepresented \u201con- stituencies.The government's majority over the straight Conservatives is there- fcre in a full House forty-two, or, allowing for the Speaker, forty-one ; and over all other parties thirty-four.If the Patrons, McCarthyites and Mr.Robertson support the government, as they did last session, its majority will be forty-eight.The government is also strong and happy in having carried through successfully what was perhaps regarded as the most difficult part of its policy, dpt of settling satisfactorily the Manitoha school This seemed a year ago today an impossible task fog\u2019 any man or party ; but Mr.Laurier, with singular prescience of the states of mind of the French-Canadian pegyle, saw the way to do so by the sunny path of conciliation, and his success hns been zs complete as it seems extraordinary and full of significance.Even his strongest opponents admit that the settlement is regarded as satisfactory by both Roman Catholics and Protestants as a whole.There are a few Ultramontanes, as there are a few Orangemen, who are dissatisfied, but If the Laurier Government had done nothing more than settle this very threatening trouble so satisfactorily it would have deserved well of the people of the Dominion.Never before have the peoples of the different provinces been so much in accord, so thoroughly on good relations, so consolidated in fact as they are to-day under Mr.Laurier, and, strange to say, the school question has been the means of bringing about this feeling of unity.The Manitoba school trouble being out of the way, the government amd parliament will be able to devote the necessary time and energy to the solution of the tariff reform question, which has been rendered more difficult by the protectionist attitude of the United States Congress.It is unfortunate for both Canada and the United States that at a time when a Democratic tariff reform party was in power in the United States it was confronted in Canada by a Conservative protectionist party in power, and that a Liberal tariff reform party is in power in Canada it is confronted by a Republican protectionist party in power in the United States.The protectionists in the United States and Canada are able to play into one another\u2019s hands in the bad game of euchring tariff reform, and this they do by stirring up ill-feeling in each country against the other and raising duties so as to destroy trade between them.This is a fine game for the protected few, but it is fatal to \u2018he interests Conservatives, trouble.these are the irreconcilables.now of the masses of both countries.The Canadian f \u2018The shock was distinctly felt here) said one of the

LABORS.WAS ACCORDED A WARM WELCOME AND AFTERWARDS CHATTED WITH THE ¢ WITNESS\u2019 CORRESPONDENT.Toronto, March 25\u2014The Rev.W.J.McCaughan was given a hearty welcome here by about fifty representatives of his new church, at the Queen\u2019s Motel vesterday.He accorded the \u2018 Witness\u2019 correspondent an interview last night.He chatted of his name, which was spelt in old days McCahan.It was the his toric name of the McCahan Clan, a clan most of whose members were slain in a massacre in the Glen of the Wail.The ancient McCahan Castle, still standing near the Giant's Causeway, attests the historic prowess of the McCahans.\u2018Most of my relatives in the United States,\u2019 explained Mr.McCaughan, \u2018have already returned to the original spelling, the

said.\u2018When I came to Toronto last year, it was without the slightest idea of the pastorate of St.Andrew\u2019s.Owing to my occupying the position of High Chief Ranger of the Foresters in Ireland, I was invited to be a speaker at the annual Forester\u2019s demonstration in Canada.\u201cIt is a mistake to suppose that Mrs.McCaughan has more relatives than 1 on My uncle at Philadelphia has one of

wedding tour, we staved at the Prospect House at Niagara Falls, and it caused a smile when we were requested to meet the committee there, almost on the anniversary of that event.We were married at Philadelphia by the late Rev.Dr.Blackwood, who was the minister who also baptized Mrs.McCaughan.\u2018We arrived at Niagara Falls at one o'clock in the morning.The forenoon was spent again viewing the Falls.Among those who met us at Niagara EH RENTE RT apy RE AD PE Tee A QUESTION OF LAW.(To the Editor of the \u201c Witness.\u201d) Sir,\u2014The Provincial Secretary has issued a circular to the Justices of the Peace of Montreal calling their attention to what he claims to be \u2018 grave in- fermalities,\u201d three or four citizens who had been committed to six months\u2019 imprisonment under the Vagrants Act by Judge Dugas having been admitted to bail pending an appeal to the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench.The only irregularity mentioned in the circular is that the \u2018 Bail bond does not bear the $4 stamp required by provincial tariff on every notice of appeal.\u201d Now.although the provincial authorities administer the criminal law, the making of such law js ertirely in the hands of the Dominion authorities, and as it is the spirit of the British constitution to make appeal to, tha courts free to all accused.No fee is mentioned in the Criminal Act.The provincial authorities have, therefore, committed \u2018grave irregularities\u2019 in plac- Ing justice at such a premium.According to this procedure justice is only for those wro can pay the subscribed fee, especially according to the circular, as the neglect of this payment \u2018causes to the public treasury the loss of that much money.\u201d Are our laws thus to be administered to the wealthy only or the plcthorie thief who can furnish money to thie needs of our depleted provincial treasury ?Has justice stooped so low in this province ?The circular goes on.further \u2018 to enjoin upon justices

officers of justice, especially as through their in- formalities there is this danger of loss to the provincial treasury.The Judge of the Sessions of the Peace who has written or inapir- ed a number of articles in the city papers deprecating this interference with his duties and who evidently has inspired this circular, occupies no higher position than ordinary justices of the peace save when on the Bench he is clothed with authority equal to two jus tices.The Provincial Secretary, therefore, has no right under such a circular to attempt to take away authority which is created by a Dominion law.A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.fr A FORECAST OF THE RESULT OF THE PAPAL ABLEGATE 8 MISSION.»\" THE VOTERS\u2019 LISTS.AN UNPLEASANT RUMOR CONCERNING THEM.The Board of Rcvisers completed the voters\u2019 lists yesterday and sent !them to \u2018the registrar, Mr.Augé.The lists show that altogether there are 57,098 voters in the city.In St.Antoine ward there are 8,729 voters and sixty-one polling divisions.The number of voters in the various other wards has already been printed in the \u2018Witness.\u2019 Some discussion has been caused by the rumor that certain politicians have managed to get copies of the lists, from clerks who are helping with the lists, and who when they were employed were sworn to act with striet impartiality.Under no consideration should copies of the lists have been given to any one before being deposited with the registrar.One of the revisers was seen about the rumor this morning, but stated the board had no proof that the clerks had been unfaithful to their oaths.They had heard, however, the rumor that certain politicians had managed to get copies of the lists.Under these circumstances it is difficult to say whether the rumor is true or not.[EE THE

the United States, were fairly on time.The conductor of one of the trains from New York said there was not much snow to be seen until Whitehall was reached.In some places between that point and this city the snowfall was heavy, but as it was mixed with rain it did not obstruct the trains, as it did those from the west.pme THE WEATHER AND ROADS.We have had all sorts of weather during the past few days but on the whole it has been mild.The snowfall of last night, which is gradually disappearing, has not improved the roads in the city.In the country it has improved sleighing, but it is not likely.to last long without the expected colder weather.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE SALOON KEEPERS WON.Hamilton, Ont., March 25.\u2014A by-elec- tion was held in Ward 4 yesterday, wo fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Ald.Hall, who was appointed aseess- ment commissioner.The candidates were ex-Ald.Hancock and Mr.John W.Crooks.The latter was elected by a vote of 709 to 326.He had a strong organization, being supported by the saloon element, while Mr.Hancock was alone in the fight.were Judre and Mrs.Fitzgerald.The trip from Wayne, P~, where we have been staying, to Toronto, was most pleasant, and our reception this afternoon a most gratifying one.Incidentally, the Rev.Mr.McCaughan mentioned that he has for a long period been a member of the Good Templar Order.The induction service this afternoon and reception this evening will be certain to prove most interesting and to be largely attended.\u2014\u2014 A CONSERVATIVE VIEW.Referring to the speech from the throne to be given this afternoon, and the probable mention therein of Mr.Laurier\u2019's voyage to Europe for the Queen\u2019s Jubilee celebration, the \u2018Minerve\u2019 says: \u2018 How times have changed ! Oh, Dorion, you, the \u2018 Enfant Terrible,\u201d what would your great radical soul have thought if, when you were bringing up young Laurier in the hatred of tyrants, some one should have prophesied to you that a day would come when your pupil would go and draw the triumphal car of perfidious Albion, and sing in an out of tune voice the praise of a reign that has been fertile in persecutions of all kinds?\u2019 The article then quotes the government measures that will form the ministerial programme, and it mentions two other measures as surely not to be included on the list, but which the people have the right to expect.The first is a remedial bill restoring the rights of the Manitoba minority, and the other a bill proclaiming free trade and unlimited reciprocity with the United States, for Mr.Laurier has been promising such a measure for nearly twenty years._\u2014\u2014 ST.LAURENT BAND OF HOPE.St.Laurent Band of Hope is the name given to the one formed yesterday.Twenty girls and boys took the triple pledge.Mrs.C.G.Jones, county superintendent for Bands of Hope, explained the meaning of the Band of Hope, saying that the children of to-day by- and-bye were going to do what perhaps the older temperance people might fail in\u2014get prohibition.When asked by their instructor what papers they read the children answered the *Witness \u2019 and the \u2018 Northern Messenger.\u201d Mrs.Fisher spoke of the most successful departments to be taken up.The following officers were elected: Superintendent, Mrs.R.Hislop; president, Thomas Coughty; re- ecrding sccretary, Russel Tait; corresponding secretary, Minnie Tait; treasurer, Agnes Hislop; organist and superintendent of entertainments, Nellie Tol- hurst.The next Band of Hope will be formed in the school-room of the Church of the Advent.Wood avenue, Westmount, on March 30, at four o'clock in the afternoon.It will be undenom- national, G - oo.\u2014Erwaonte \u2018 Star! .When Mgr.Merry del Val discovers that the people must be alienated from the church, or tne bishops must mind their own business, he will advise, as Mgr.Satolli advised in the United States, that the contest be immediately discontinued.The Pope will never risk any such fight as drove France into scepticism and led to the expulsion of the Jesuits and the confiscation of all church property in nearly every purely Catholic country, excepting Spain.The bishops of Quebec have over-mag- nified their office.Their proceedings have not been endorsed by either the Catholic hierarchy or laity of Ontario.They are untravelled and narrow-minded men, bred in local seminaries and cut off from the world, and are not repre sentative of the thought, progress, the improvements of the Roman Catholic Church, which will enter the next century almost abreast of other religious denominations in Anglo-Saxon countries.They thought they had a little kingdom of their own.They were the pets of the late government, and thought they ran the country, and the \u2018 Star,\u2019 which had some success in foretelling the result of the last general election, takes the liberty of making this forecast.The papal ablegate, desirous, as all the agents of the Pontiff always are, of not putting the bishops in the wrong, will try to find some back-door through which the bishops can escape without being jeered at in their defeat.Appeals will be made to Mr.Laurier and Mr.Greenway, to add some extra thing to the school settlement as a means of soothing the bishops.This wil] be absolutely and flatly refused.A Gallican (that is to say, not an ul- tramontane) archbishop will De chosen to succeed Archbishop Fabre of Montreal.A quiet intimation will be given the newspapers which have been put under the ban, that they may resume publication.Edicts, mandements, circulars and clerical interference with elections will cease; loud-mouthed bishops will have no more to sav, and will receive no promotion; the priests throughout Canada will become more liberal; the cause of education will be advance.Catholicism will be saved in Quebec, and harmony will be restored in the Do minion.None of this, of course, will be :n- nounced to the public, yet the resu'ts will come about all the same, becaus- this is the policy of the Cathohe Church of to-day, which is aware that more :s obtained by vielding than by fight.There is no recent instance winch .be quoted of a different result in a sim lar investigation.ce NOTES AND NOTICES.Dr.S.J.Andres, Beaver Hall, NM n° real, writes, \u2018 On several occasions I lus known \u2018 Pheno-Banum \u201d or * Quick curr\u2019 to remove Pain in the Back within - teen minutes.lt is especially valua\u2019 ® where Belladonna or Aconite plasters would not be prescribed.\u201d commenced before the judges of the ses +.

History Society.and one by Mr.Catson nf the Dominion Alliance.Judge Dugas sneeringly referred to the latter as from Carson & Co.and stated that Mr Carsnn always opposed, whether from gnod or bad reasons he did not know.Mr.Duun stated that he Intended keeping a first-rlass restaurant.such as for vears h» had kort down town.As the four hundred licenses had already been granted snme one must drop out before this one could issue.Mr.P.Elliott of AyImer street was willing to drop out to oblige Mr.Dunn, and so that difficulty was removed but there wore other difficulties in the way.There was another application from Patrick Coleman for exactly the same premises.Now, toth these parties could not be in posses- sinn of the same place, Then thers was the promise of the commissioners given when Kearney was allowed to plant his saloon alongside the Natural History Society's building, that no license would be granted for the premises where Kearney had heen.Judge Dugas desired it to be understood, however that he did not intend that promise to he binding forever.A wholesale liquor dealer, who had a good deal to say on each case that the rommissioners con- slder~d.made a vigorous protest against what he termed a mennpoly being granted tn any oue person.Everybody did not want tv go to Kearneyv's.He further declared that the majority of the people of the dis- tri~t were in favor of another license being granted.: Ile did not sav, however, that the granting of this lirense would mean the closing up of FEllMott\u2019s, on Aylmer street.and many prople would be ao glad to recure that.they would willingly sign a petition to plank the new saloon down a long distance from their own doors, say on University stron, Mr.Coleman\u2019s application last year was refused by the commissioners in fulfilment of their promise to grant no new license in the vicinity of the Natural History So- riety's Hall, and the conditions are unchanged this year, except that another party fs applying.The commissioners reserved their decision this afternoon.\u2014_e\u2014\u2014\u2014 VETERAN FIREMEN.A special meeting of the Montreal Veteran Volunteer Firemen's Association was held last evening in the Firemen\u2019's Hall, Centre Fire Station, Craig street.There was & large actrndance of members.Mr.Curningham, president, in the chair.On the platform with him were the two vice- presidents, Messrs.Bickerstaff and Lau- zea u, A motion was unanimously adopted for the members to attend the funeral of the late wife of Captain A, McNaughton.Mr.Hasley was present and delivered the new caps to the members present.All absent members may get their caps by calling at Hasley Brothers, 2252 St.Catherine street.Mr.John Turner, an old volunteer fireman for twenty years of Three Rivers, was rresent.and made some very appropriate remarks about the firemen's work in Three livers.On motion he was elected as an honorary member of the association.The meeting then adjourned.me BUTCHERS IN COURT.In the Recorder's Court in August last a large number of keepers of private butcher stalls were fined forty dollars and costs tor neglecting tn pay their annval one hundred dollars license, due last May.The defendants applied for a certlorar! in the superior Court, but recently the petition was dismissed; consequently, orders have Leen given to the clerk of the Recorder's Court to ccllect this fine without delay so as to compel the deliquents to pay the }i- vez se before the close of the year.Instructions have been given to the bailiffs of the court to arrest all who refuse to pay the fine and costs, which amounts to forty- two dollars.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ROAD COMMITTEE MEETING.When the Road Committee met yesterday a

that pur- nose Instead of a portion of it belng spent upon buyirg stone from private parties.The committee said it would give the matter its consideration.A letter was received from Mr.James

Taylor Presbyterian Church last evening, which wag addressed by Mrs.Stait (formerly Dr.Grant Fraser), a returned medical missionary from India, drew a large congregation of persons interested in the work of foreign missions.The Rev.Thomas Bennett | presided and after conducting the opening | exercises, he (introduced to the meeting | Mrs.Stait, who has labored with much success for over five years in India under the auspices of the Mission Board of the Pres- byvterian Church.of Canada.Mrs.Stait gave Ë irteresting description of the manner of i I travelling, of the construction of the houses, of the peculiar mode of living, and also of the terribly degrading nature of the | native religion.A siogle household in India comprised a little community in itself, | composed of the head man of the family, \"his sons, and their wives, his grandchildren, nephews, cousins, ete.all living toge- | ther in squalor and filthiness.The more native religion the deeper the dirt.The fllth of Leemish.the sacred walled city, was comething almost beyond déscription.| The self-imposed suffering and cruelty that the natives underwent in order to keep Vows made to their gods were spoken of as horrible.Much difficulty was experienced in i presenting the Christian religion in such a manner as to impress the dull intellects, and move the hearts that never had known \u201cthe influence of love.The extreme cruelty i to which the women and female children | especially were subjected, robbed them of all dignity and crushed them into hopeless despair and wretchedness.Several in- | stances were given which had come under | the personal notice of Mrs.Stait, how children married at the age of four years, were i maltreated by their mothers-in-laws.Fre- ; quently, hot irons were held to the flesh, and in other cases children were made blind by having boiling liquid poured into their eyes.One child in particular,which came to Mrs.Stait for treatment, suffered | from mortification of the top part of \u2018the | head due to neglect and ill-treatment.Two | years ago Mrs.Stait treated sixteen thou- | sand patients (all registered cases).Last i year she treated sixteen thousand more, She was the sole physician in that part of .India.the masses having been otherwise left to die from the unchecked ravages of i disease.Native doctors were worse than useless.Opium was, fed to the children by their mothers till they are two years of age, the stronger only surviving, while the wcmen themselves eat opium to deaden the pain of cruel punishment received in their homes.The lot of the child wife was insufferable.she being the burden- bearer and the abused of the family.After touching upon the superstitious belisfs of the people, Mrs.Stait vividly depicted the sad treatment and sufferings of the widows in India, and closed with a touching appeal for Christian sympathy and aid or behalf of the millions of distressed humanity In that far off land.The audience was very deeply affected with the address, and with the intense earnestness of the missionary.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A TENNESSEE ITORROR.Nashville, Tenn., March 24.\u2014The house of Jacob Ade, a German

has just been called to an alleged interview with myself which appeared in the \u2018Witness\u2019 of March 16, and which I have seen to-day for the first time, which contains re marks attributed to me and which might be construed as reflecting upon Ald.Con- naughton.I wish to give this report and the statements contained in it the most emphatic denial.I saw no reporter from the ¢ Witness\u2019 on either Monday or Tuesday last, and 1 never made use of any such expressions as are attributed to me in respect of Ald.Connaughton.I have the greatest respect and esteem for Ald.Connaughton, who is my colleague in the representation of St.Ann's Ward, and I would support him heartily as the candidate, if he wished to present himself.I regret that I did not know earlier of this article, or I would have contradicted its statements at once, and you will oblige me by publishing this letter and correcting the injustice done to me as well as to Ald.Connaugh- ton at once.ALD.T.KINSELLA, St.Ann\u2019s Ward.Montreal, March 23, 1897.The reporter who saw Mr.Kinsella insists that he gave a correct report of the interview had by him, and which was published in the \u2018Witness\u2019 in perfect good faith among other items of news._\u2014\u2014, THE PRESS AND THE PRIZE FIGHT (To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014It is fitting that through the columns of your paper (columns undefiled by the brutalizing and revolting accounts of that prize fight) should be conveyed the earnest, the grateful, the admiring thanks of all pure or even decently- minded women in not Montreal alone to those of our clergy who have not hesi- teted to both nobly amd bravely rebuke the evil time-serving of the press.I am sure I am but voicing the feelings not alone of every good woman 1 know, but of all good women in thanking the Rev.G.Osborne Troop, rector of St.Martin's ; the Rev.S.P.Rose, D.D., of St.James Methodist, and the Rev.J.Thompson, who also in St.Jude's preached in condemnation of the prostituting of the press and the awful evils that follow upon such doing.Perhaps, being an Episcopalian, I may be forgiven for drawing special attention to the eloquent, forcible and most truly Christian stand taken by the rector of St.Martin's.His words will live, and though we know they were not spoken to win admiration, still as I have said, thes have inspired that and far more\u2014even the gratitude of all interested in the highest, truest well-being of a nation\u2014 all of which, for gain, those who aspire to be the leaders of thought amongst us shamefully,

editorial of March 17, about Jerseymen in the County of Bonaventure, evidently you have not been well informed.Jerseymen are not Roman Catholics.Some fourteen years ago one family wag to be found on the Island of Jersey who had joined the Roman Catholic Church.There are Roman Catholic churches on the island whose adherents are French and Irish, and the Jersey people living in Bonaventure County are Protestants; but there are there a few exceptional cases who have joined the Roman Catholic Church.By publishing the above in your columns you will greatly oblige a Jersey- man who formerly lived in the County of Bonaventure, and who remains, Yours truly, - \u2026 P.DUVAL.Chicoutimi, March 20, 1897.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 LONG SERVICE MEDALS.(To the Editor of the \u2018

twenty or twenty-five years might be made the limit of service, or the minimum limit that would entitle any of our Volunteer Force to a medal.This Diamond Jubilee year, I think is a specially

hearing one of the very best musical organi zations on this continent; a band that highest authorities have pronounced second, if not equal, to the renowned (tarde Republicaine of Paris, France.In speaking of their concert last autumn, the Minneapolis \u2018 Tribune ' says:\u2014\u2018 The Chicago Marine Band, T.P.Brooke.conductor, held an appreciative audience in close touch for two and one-half hours vesterday afternoon at the Metropolitan Theatre.The secret of the programme was in the popular character of the numbers rendered.There were several classical pieces interspersed, but the majority of the numbers consisted of popular music of the higher order.The programme opened with a Fanfare Militaire, the \u201cMarch of the First,\u201d by Mr.Brooke himself.By an unforeseen error the audience had not been provided with programmes, consequently but one or two in the house knew the piece rendered was by the man who stood before them.But the applause which demanded an encore was vociferous, and was a better tribute than if the enthusiastic listeners had known the author of the number.The ignorance of this fact made the applause thoroughly impartial.During the programme, a number of rollicking features were introduced, which kept the audience in excellent humor.In fact, not a number on the entire programme failed of recall, and extras were generously accorded.\u2019 mme A WIDOW\u2019S CLAIM.The case of Dame Dubois vs.the Canadian Pacific Railway Company came up for hearing before Judge Ouimet in the Superior Court this morning.By this action the

Ind., March 23.\u2014The town of Moscow, a few miles southwest of Rushville, has attained considerable notoriety through a queer freak of nature.In William Barlow's rear yard an opening has been discovered leading to a subterranean river of unknown depth.The underground stream is forty-five feet below the surface und flows with great rapidity.Mr.Barlow sounded the stream, but the fierceness of the waters nearly dragged the sounding line from his hands.The earth is gradually giving away at the surface opening and the river threatens to swallow the Barlow lot, house and all.se CHARITY

STATION.(Toronto \u2018 Globe.\u201d) A young lady visitor to the city had a very unpleasant experience last evening, which will possibly give her an unfavorable impression of Toronto.Miss Fannie Gibson, a resident of Montreal, who had been spending a vacation in St.Louis, from Detroit for the purpose of staying cver for a short visit to friends on Rus- : sel! street.At the Union Station she | boarded a Yonge street car, carrying mn! her hand a small grip and a little hand- | satchel.At King street she transferred\u2019 to a belt line going west, and took a seat near the front of the car.On the up trip she opened her hand-satchel, took her purse, and examined some papers therein.When the car reached Russell street Miss Gibson alighted, and at the same time a passenger on the rear platform got off and followed her along the dark siCewalk.As she tummned up the steps of the house she was surprised by the stranger hurrving up and reaching out for the bell.at the same time asking in a gruff voice, \u2018Ts this 1477\" Miss Gib- gore suspected danger, and called for Help, but the intruder snatched her satchel from her grasp and darted down a lane into the darkness.An alarm was quickly given, but the thief had made geod his escape.The purse contained about thirteen dollars in cash, a baggage cempany\u2019s receipt for two trunks, and two or three memoranda.Fortunately, the lady had taken some notice of the man before he attacked her, and was able to give the police a good description of him.The conductor on the car can also identify the culprit if he should be arrested, and the detectives have good hopes of securing his capture in due course.There is very little doubt that he is a professional, who had watched his victim from the station, and saw her open her purse on the street car.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 INDIA FAMINE FUND.The Rev.Dr.Warden, treasurer of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, ac- Burns Presbyterian Church, Moore .21.00:

consequently Mr.Crankshaw requested the Crown to furnigh an indictment abiding by the evidence referred to.Futther, ho asked the Court to state how goods were disposed of.and to whom.Mr.Archambault strongly objected, but remarked that the amount was immaterial.but the description of the goods should be furnished.However, he would look into the law and render judgment to-morrow morning.George Mooney, who has five different charges of theft against him, was called to the bar.Mr.Archambault, Q.C., conducted the case for the prosecution, and Messrs.McLennan and Devlin appeared for the defence.The prisoner is accused of stealing several hundred dollars\u2019 worth of carpenters\u2019 teols from Small's new building on Beaver Hall Hill, on the evening of Dec.3.1896.He was arrested with the property in his possession and as he was being marched to No.6 station he broke away from the constables\u2019 who, after a somewhat sharp chase, re-captured him.At one o'clock the Court adjourned for lunch.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 LENTEN SERVICES.The mid- day Lenten services in the Me- | chanics\u2019 Institute continue to be largely attended.To-day's service was taken by the Rev.James Thompson, assistant minister at St.Jude's, who spokc from the words found in Matthew iv.19: \u2018Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.\u201d All nations and people, he showed.had some form of religion.which seemed to bear cut the argument that the human soul needed to go outside of itself for satisfaction; it must worship, must follow something.There seemed to be an immaterial factor in the heing that would not be satisfied with any thing short of contact with the divine.We are not to follow a theory: the only settlement of those dificult questions of the day.which disturb soclety and the world.was the individual follewing of Jesus, and if ell the units were thus to follow one divine Master there would be a harmony which now does not exist.Our fellowmen were not to be taken as the standard, but the Godman.Jesus Christ, and following him we would become fishers of men and co-workers with God.After pointing out that to follow Jesus meant to do as he would do.Mr.Thompson spoke of the neglect of the servicez of the church =o characteristic of the present day.and urged the Inconsistency of such neglect, and the loss entailed thereby.\u2014 \u2014-\u2014 \u2018PRINCE ARTHUR LODGE, | The regular meeting of Prince Arthur Lodge.A.O.U.W., was made very interesting | last Tuesday evening by the first official | visit of Dr.G.Maîllet, D.D.G.M.W., accompanied by G.M.W.Thomas Ligget: zrand { foreman, Dr.J.G.\"Globensky grand recor- '@er, Major A.T.Paterson;

of St.Andrew\u2019s Church, of the congregation of which deceased was a member, conducted the funeral service, which was held at the house.The florsl tributes were very nu- mercus and beautiful, and included magnificent pillows from the London & Lancashire Assurance Cempany and the Gas Company, in both of which deceased held the office of director.The chief mourners included Messrs.Thomas Peck and Jas.Peck, nephews; John Beattie, Dr.Farley, of Belleville, and Major Farley.of Quebec.There were no pall-bearers.Among the friends and acquaintances of the deceased who attended the funeral were

chair.Lieut.-Cols.Butler, Starke and Hood, Majors Ibbotson, Blajklock and Labelle, Capts.Wynne, Pope, Brown and McKay, Lieuts.Courtney, Gorman and Pelletier, and Mr.Arthur Ware, secretary-treasurer, were among those present.The sixth annual report pointed out that the association had been of good service to the militia, the Increase in membership necessitating better facilities for target practice.The ranges here.however, were in a bad way: the first-class targets could not be used at all.many of the long range shots being consequently unable to compete at Toronto and other places: while the sec- ond-class butts were in a dangerous condition, and the shelters defective.The re- nort concluded with a suggestion that the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty he celebrated by a telegraph match between fifty men of the Montreal Rifie Association with teams of the same number in all British colonies, for a trophy.When it came to the election officers Lieut.-Col.Burland wanted to retire from the presidency.but Lieut.-Cols.Starke and Hood positively refused to accept the position.as did also Major Ibbotson, the latter on the ground that the presidency should be held by a commanding officer.Lieut.- Col.Burland finally consented, though with reluctance, to remain in office another year, Major Ibbotson was re-elected vice-presi- dent, and Mr.Ware, secretary-treasurer.\u2014\u2014 NOTES AND NOTICES.Great Book Event.\u2014Opening of the introductory distribution of the New Popular Encyclopaedia.\u2014It would be difficult to conceive a more attractive proposition than the one now offered by The Canadian Newspaper Syndicate in connection with the New Popular Encye- lopedia.The work itself is of parn- mount value, because it not only contains the substance of all the other encyclopaedias, but treats hundreds of recent topics regarding which all the others are silent.It is also the best 1llus- trated and best mapped encyclopedia he- fcre the public, since it contains over 3,500 engravings, colored maps, charts, and diagrams from the most recent explorations, discoveries, and surveys.De- sides this, it is the only enevclopedia published containing special reference to Canada, and its appendixes cover over 100 sub-divisions, comprising a Biographical Dictionary, a Dictionary on Technical Terms, Religious Summaries and Statistics of the Population of the Whole World, according to the latest official censuses.The most remarkable part of the whole proposition is found in the fact that it requires only a small initial payment to secure immediate possession of the seven large volumes.the balance being arranged in small monthly amounts, and one has the constant use and enjoyment of the work while paying for it.Space hardly permits anyv- thing further than the simple statement that the \u2018New Popular\u2019 is the latest and most practical of all the great reference works.The address of the Syndicate is \u2018Star\u2019 Building, Montreal.2% The Rev.S.Riopel, M.D., County Jacques Cartier, writes: *1 have had considerable experience with Dr.levers' \u2018 Quick-cure\u2019 and have always found it surprisingly effective, answering fully, when directions were observed, the several claims of its author.It relieves pain in an incredibly short time.\u201d For Rheumatism, Pain in the Back, Sides or Chest, spread \u2018 Quick-cure\u2019 on linen, or cotton, as for Burns, and cover with cotton batting, or even paper, over which put a bandage to keep all in place and protect the clothing.Many physi cians will not prescribe or allow use of ordinary plasters, as so many of them contain Belladonna and Aconite, and sometimes these drugs may be absorbed by the system and cause serious disturbances.Plasters made of \u2018 Quick-cure have been recommended, as being entirely free from anything which could possibly injure even a child, and no plaster removes pain so quickly.In severe cases, doctors tell you to apply hot applications also, over the \u2018 Quick-cure\u2019 plaster, covering the back, chest and neck well; flannel cloths wrung out of hot water will not injure \u2018 Quick-cure,\u2019 but aid its effect.Ro ic hallo aus re CRISIS IN CUBA.{PORTANT DEVELOPMENTS PROMISED NN WITHIN THE NEXT THREE OK FOUR DAYS.New York, March 25\u2014A special to the \u2018Herald\u2019 from Havana says: \u201clTa- vana is uneasy from many causes.All eyes are upon the country near the line which divided Santa (lara and Puerto Principe, where it ia now known that General Weyler will make a determined effort to cripple Gomez within a few days.If General Weyler fails to secure some decided advanta;ze over the insurgents at this time the serious plight f Spain will become doubly clear, and the gravest consequences may be expected.No one here believes that a decisive en gagement will occur.If 1t does not the rainy season will find affairs in their present unsatisfactory state, which means i that the msurgents will continue to make ! daily raids, and that Span, unable to end the war, must speedily decide whether or not she dare attempt continued occupa tion of the island throughout the deadly summer.There are manv indications ; here that General Wevler realizes his ps- sition.Many towns have been left to protect themselves.The soldiers who have garrisoned them have heen sont to the ficld to await the Captain-General's Coming.New York, March 25-\u2014-A Washington special to the * Herald \u2019 savs: \u2014TPresident McKinley and Secretary Sherman understood to be considering the advisability of appointing a special comms sioner to look into and report upon the Cuban situation, In considering the question of a new Minister to Madrid, it 15 stated the idea occurred to thie Presi dent that it would be advisable for Minister Taylor's successor ta have rope personal knowledge of the situation AN Cuba, and with that end in view he contemplated sending the person he decides upon for this post on a special mission tn Havana.The new administration has some plan in contemplation for a peaceful solution of the Cuban question, and the despatch of a special commis stoner to the island 1s a part of the project.The name of Stewart L.Wood- ford of New York is mentioned in connection with the Madrid mission.It a said Senator Platt will indorse Mr.Woodford, and in this event, it ix the general expectation of New Yorkers that General Woodford will be Minister TaŸ- lor\u2019s successor.\u2014 ce MANITOBA BY-ELECTIONS.Winnipeg, March 25.\u2014The decisions of the Supreme Court yesterday will result in two elections in Manitoba, the constituencies of Winnipeg and Macdonald having been declared vacant.In Winnipeg, an acclamation is not unlikely, now that Mr.Hugh John Macdonald by accepting the leadership of the Provincial Opposition to Mr.Greenway is out of Dominion politics.If the Liberals can induce Mr.Isaac Campbell to be their candidate, the chances are that the Conservatives would not oppose him, as he 1s.personally very popular with both sides.However, should ex-Mayor Jamie- son be the government candidate, as are seems likely, the Conservatives may nominate Mr.J.H.Brock to oppose him.In Macdonald, Mr.Boyd, the unseated member, will again be the Conservative candidate, Dr.Rutherford, his old opponent, will again be the Liberal candidate, and Kenneth McKenzie, another Liberal also, may run.\u2014 \u2014\u2014\u2014 HIS REQUEST GRANTED.London, March 25.\u2014The petition presented by- Mr.Bayard, United States ambassador, on behalf of the President and citizens of the United States, asking for the custody of the manuscript deposited in the library of Fulham Palace containing the records of the early history of the Pilgrim Fathers and their voyage to America in the * Maytlower,\u2019 was heard in the l°cclesiastical Court, St.Paul's, to-day, the Chancellor of the \u2018diocese of Loudon,, Thomas lH.Tristram, Q.C., presiding.At the conclusion of the hearing the court ordered the delivery of the book containing the manuscript asked for by Mr.Bavard as the representative of the United States upon the condition that persons desiring certificates therefrom may have them at a reasonable cost, and also that certified copies of the manuscript shall be deposited in the library ot the Bishop of Lordon from which the originals are taken.tlie.JUDGMENTS SET ASIDF.New York, March 25\u2014Judge Van- wyck in the Supreme Court at Brooklyn yesterday vacated and set \u2018aside judgments against Erastus Wiman for $8,194 in favor of Booth Brothers and Hurricane Isle Granite
