esting, - 5 R.A.F.GAULT TELLS HOW TT |- \u2014_\u2014 w; HAS CHANGED\u2014THE HW PRINCIPAL OF THE DIO- - CESAN COLLEGE.It is the opinion of travellers that the Ireland of to-day is vastly different from the Ireland of twenty years ego.Mr.A.F.Gault returned from a pleasant \\Linerary, confirms the conviction of those who have recently visited the old country, that the present condition and future prospects of Ireland are of the most satisfactory character.Mr.Gault bad A ë TD Bar michael and Dr.Johnson, was crowned with success\u2014namely, the securing of a suitable person for the primcipalship of the new Diocesan \u2018Theological College in Montreal\u2014the princely gift to the dio- vese of Mr.Gault himself, Aside from that, however, Mr.Gault enjoyed pleasant rambles throughout both England and Ireland, of which he retains interesting memories.Ireland is, as far as can be seem, in & state of profound peace.The people are living together im amity.\u2018Well, you know, as Mr.Gault says, \u2018Irishmen generally did live together peacably enough, except when they got a little excited.Home rule is a, thing of the past.\u20181 consider it practically a dead issue,\u2019 is Low Mr.Gault pats it.The people are pursuing their occupations, untroubled by political agitation.\u2018The Local Government bill; which gives power to the people to elect their own representatives upon grand juries and county councils has had a pacifying ef- tect.\u2018In fact, this measure is hailed from one end of the country to the other, as .ust the thing Which \u2018was desired.Even :n parliament there was no objection to y, and the home rulers found in it a large measure of justice\u201d Then, again, the many changes in the jand laws, all in favor of the tenant, have had their just effect.The latter + now fixed in the soil, in which he has « more intimate interest thay in the past owing to the fact that his partnership hes cen recognized.by: statute.The Hm are fixed w and net by the capçie ment.Lr The physical festures of tie cn were much admipid; and theresis no mart enthusiastic lover-of the-beautiful- and romantic lakes of Killarrey than Mr.Gault, who describes his experiences in the most fervid language.He thinks the lakes.indeed, worth travelling a great wav to see.Industrially speaking, Ireland is al- «vs making lang strides forward.Mr.trault found the ship-building industry + Belfast in the most flourishing state, \u201c1\u20ac zreat firms having orders ahead for «ver eighteen months.\u201c The North of Ireland gives every evi- spre of prosperity, and even Dublin.\u201chieh has generally remained stationary.seems to be forging ahead.The west of Ireland, too, is improving wonderfully, and, in fact, I think the prospects for Ireland in the near \u2018nture are of the brightest.It is \u201crue that capital has been time and again, \u2018rightened from Treland, which accounts \u2018nr the lack of industries in the south, but there is no reason why manufactures, under settled conditions, should not fHourish.There are three woollen mills, but, apart from the industries of the porth, manufacturing on a large scale must be looked to as a feature of future progress.\u201d Jt having been suggested that it had been said of the Irishman that he was too poetical to be industrious, Mr.Gault remarked.smilingly, that no doubt not a few of them succeeded best when they left their native eountry, but, nevertheless.he was hopeful that under stable conditions, such ns now geemed to Dre- vail, that a grester industrial activity would be noticeable in the hear future.Belfast, Londénderry, Armagh, Ommgh; Dublin, and many places were vis- :ted, including, as has been indicated, the famous lakes of Killàrney, and a very vleasant time was spent.The tipping svstem Was encoun of course, and + was Mr.Gault's experience, that it .«ts to travel in the Emerald Isle.\u2018How- -ver, you expect it, and so you make .\u2026 vour mind to endure it.\u2019 The most notable thing, perbaps, as 1.» absence of all irritable feeling among \u201c0 different sections of the people.This \u201c1e due to mary causes.Ameliorating «= had something to do with it.In- -.ased prosperity was a factor in bring- - about the result.Finally, there : the feeling that, with the operation : -he Local Govèrnment Bill,

and telegraphed.on his arrival in Montreal to the Rev.Rural Dean Read, that he would be in Pembroke on Sept.15, and asked Mr.Rend to be ready to proceed with him to Petawawa.Since then nothing has been heard of the Rev.Mr.Smith.The Rev.Mr.Read informed tha Bishop of Ottawa, who is much distressed over the disappearance.Bishop Hamilton has instituted active proceedings to find out the cause of Mr.Smith's disappeararice or delay in coming.Sonie fatality may have occurred, Sraith bas merely been delayed soe unforeseen occurrence, probably illness, But it is strange that he does not tele:

scripture reading, Psalm xxxii.He assumed that the great question of the truth of the Holy Scriptures was one of interest to his hearers and declared that one of the strongest proofs of their authenticity was the internal evidence they contained.One who will study the scriptures as a whole is not likely to become skeptical.God\u2019s hatred of sin and love for the sinner was a plain and glorious fact.\u2018The character of sin is abominable in God\u2019s sight, and his attitude towards it is one of eternal hatred,\u201d he said.\u2018The heredity of sin was a terrible fact.One should never determine character by isolated action.To have power to do wrong but the will to.do right is God\u2019s plan for us.If we have the will to do right he will provide the power.In Erskine Presbyterian Church, last evening, Mr.Varley preached to a large congregationy taking (for his subject \u2018Man\u2019s relation to God.\u201d He based his remarks upon II.Chron.xxvi.In an interesting manner he drew lessons from the various experiences that led King Uzziah up to the point where \u2018his heart was lifted up to his destruction.\u2019 He explained that there is no necessary connection between a prosperous and successful life, humanly speaking, and success from God's standpoint.It appeared to him that nine-tenths of the people of to-day regard the gospel simply as a code of ethics.This he thought was the result of lack of acquaintance with the word and experience of the power of God.Mr.Varley will remain in the city for a-couple of weeks.He will conduct bible readings in the Y.M.C.À.rooms every afternoon, at 3.30 o\u2019clock, and evangélis- tic services in the hall at eight p.m., to which the public is invited.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BUTTER FACTORY

the well known evangelist, who is conducting a series\u2019 of services in the city at present, made some interesting remarks to-day upon the recent plebiscite campaign in Canada.The smallness of the vote Mr.Varley accounted for by an apathy which was indifferent to the aspects and relations of moral questions.This apat thy was due, in a measure, to \u2018the absence of strong, forceful, fervent leaders in the temperance rdnks either in Can ada, the United States, or England.Men.like Neal Pow, or John Gough wery.missing now\u2014men with a strong personality, who could\u2019 command & great and overwhelming influence and who could create and maintain a \u201cstrong temperancé sentiment among the -.Another thing that was \u2018noticeable, Tuerely \u2018in \u201cCañäda, but in the Unité States as well, was the indifference to sin itself in most of its forms.The public conscience seemed to be dead ou this subject.Men were: full of business energy.store, and you will find men up to date\u2014 alert, intelligent, giving their whole mind to'the questions with which they have tq deal.Ask such men about \u2018moral ques tions, about the righteousness of thé individual or the community, and you will find \u201cthe utmost apathy and indif\u201d ference.\u2018 As far as Quebec was concerned, \u201cthe result need not surprise any one, when it was remembered that the priests, inso far as theÿ took any public stand upon the question, told their people that the plebiscite was a Protestant affair with which they had nothing to do; but in the other provinces the apathy resulted from the causes het indicated\u2014the lack of a strong, living, earnest sentiment upon the subject of the evils of the drink traffic.A tree was known by the fruit it produced.The liquor traffic swas a tree which produced the maximum amount of evil.People really were not made familiar with all the evil relations of the drink question, and- unhappily the churches, in many instances, were bound hand and foot, and dared not speak out, This was particularly the case in.Eng land, where five-sevenths of the, members: of the Imperial Parliament were naturals] ly, through their vested interests, uposs the side of the traffic, and wheré the\u2019 Church\u2014that is,.the Church by law es vt come out squarely against the rela evils of the drink traffic.The conscience.of the people, in short, had\" not \u2018been arou \u201cSuppose a proprietor suspected some of his employees of dishonesty, and asked me to give an address upon honesty.What good would a general address upon the subject do ?But if I could get to personal dealing with the suspected persons I might accomplish a great degl\u2019 \u2018It is not the tailor\u2019s shop, or the grocer\u2019s shop in which people assemble to plot against society, to gamble, to carry out nefarious schemes.It is the saloon.The drink traffic leads to a whole train of evils which the public do not really suspect.Evil passions and evil desires, and evil purposes converge upon the -saloon.\u2018In this plebiscite, the result of which has been a disappointment, it is my conviction the voice of the women of the coun try should have been heard in a more direct way than it was heard.It is the women who suffer peculiarly through the evils of strong drink, I am not just now advocating female franchise, but the government should have taken measures to have ascertained the feelings of and desires of the women of the country.\u201d \u2018Of course you must always have a sentiment at your back, or you need never expect tu go forward.I do not know that the best time was selected for the taking of the plebiscite.Perhaps a time when temperance sentiment was more at the flow would have been better.\u2018But there is this apathy not merely with respect to temperance, but with, regard to other moral questions, to be: considered.I remember when in Brant\u201d ford twenty-four years ago, there was such a work wrought as resulted in the ingathering to the churches of twelve hundred converts.The effect of this was seen in the passing of a local option law by which the saloons were wiped out.A friend in Brantford told me in London, England, seven years later, that there was not a saloon in the place, that the jail was empty; and that the policemen had nothing to do.Bu! when I revisited Brantford about a year ago, I found that one saloon after another had been allowed gradually to creep into the city, and that now it had fifty.There can be an enormous declension on the part of men and women in a single geu- eration.I used to know a Sunday-school teacher who said that the secret of smuc- cess, was, \u201cAt it, at it, at it,\u201d and so it a.\u2019 Mr.Varley said that he had found this apathy as to the fact of sin in ull relations, in a marked degree in the city- of Boston.Take the case of continence.When he was a young min, men had some conscience on this subject.There seemed to be none now.Men now vir tually said that if they wanted to go to the devil that it was nobody\u2019s \u2018business.He had been in not a few families in Pa \u2018Go into any warehouse ot, Boston visiting, it ily usually consfited\u2019 of \u2018oe a obey?ardent: said Mr.Varley, itn- \u2018pressively.Mr.Varley suggested that -in relation to future temperance work, there should be a special campaign, in Which able, fervent, reliable.men might be engaged \u2014a campaign which would not be continued constantly, but which should come.to a community to accentuate and crystallize the temperance sentiment of the place, just as the evangelist, who.was the first promise of the ascended Lord, came to assist in the harvest, as the Irish laborers did in certain parts of England.Personally, -he, was opposed to all fe- naticiem on imprudence, and he believed that the -first requisite was personal regeneration for all sorts of reform, such regeneration leading to- effort and right apprehension\u2019 of sin in its various forms and effects.Jn a word, leaders were wauted\u2014strong leaders,, who could create a sentiment in the people.He: related the case of a well-known distiller in London, who héd beén placed at the bead of the.Peoples\u201d Palace, and.who had the honor of receiving the Q een, when the latter replied, pointing out that he was exceedingly sorry to find that a man who distilled the gin which wrought such in- \u2018calculable ruin in the east end of London, was af the head of such a mave-||§ ment, which he could not therefore support.He reminded him that he was building with one hand and pulling down \u2018with the other, and, in fine, the letter was a vigorous, but Christian rebuke, which had the effect of causing him who received the same to give up his ¢onnec- tion with- the distillery firm, at a sacrifice which must have meant over a quarter of a million pounds.SERMON ON THE PLEBISGITE.The Rev.G.Osborne Troop preached a sermon on the recent plebiscite in St.Martin\u2019s Church last night.His text was taken from Isaiah lv, 8 9.Mr.Troop reiterated his previously \u201cexpressed views as to prohibition as not in aecord- ance with God's plan.While he was not in accord with the prohibitionists, he could and did with his soul advocate total abstinence from intoxicating drink.The speaker had a feeling against the saloon akin to terror, and hoped that such places were never entered by any who named the name of Christ.THE PEOPLE'S VERDICT.RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT, 1 NOW THAT IT'IS AAA AA ; + Vote ery pa \u2018 ye a oad i {To the Editor of the \u2018 Witness.) Sir, \u2014There is no sublimer hour in the {history of Canada, than that which closed the ballot boxes on the night of Sept.29, because it made evident and intense the matured purpose of the people of this country, to be rid once and forever, of the evils of the liquor traffic.This vote represénts the intelligent and instinctive desire of the masses to do right, and from this day henceforth we cease to play fox or spaniel, and put on the lion.The vote shows we have a people back of us, no matter what may be said about the size of the majority, which, by the way, is twice as great as that often changing a government, or keeping one in power.No party in Canada ever had a majority of the registered voters and parties have got into power on a vote of one-third of the registered vote, the total of which was less than that of their opponents, who were turned out.It \u2018es not the opinions of the absolute majority which rules, but that amount which can be brought to bear on a particular point at a given time.A party having one of 3 majority in the House of Commons, would defeat a party having 100,000 more votes distri buted among their followers; and, a majority of one is as good in an election as 1,000, for the simple reason that every section of our law, constitutional or otherwise, calls for a majority.So Sept.29 proclaimed to the world in the only constitutional way known to this coun- try\u2014the method.by whigh.the present party came.intp power\u2014the vote of the mujority, that the soil .of Canada could né longer support the grog shop.\u2018Men henceforth will' be chary of investing capital in.a business threatened by \u2018the enormous band: of 506,000 voters.The old Hellespont never laughed at Persian chains\u2019 as we laugh at those newspapers and Kquor \u2018dealers going about attempting to decry the vote and make little of it.What other business in the world was ever so stamped with public disapproval and condemnation ?Had the.government submitted any other question to vote, careful not to endorse it, refusing it the assistance of the party, and the party organization, with the big newspapers and the little men against it, the.opposition against it, wealth and fashion against it, how many votes would it hav\u20ac taken ?~ Not 50,000 in, all Canada.But in spite of parties, papers, wealth, and fashion, the instinctive \"loyalty.\u2018of the people to truth \u2018and ustice; .has given us the majority, e traffic.may drag itself around.Tittle \u201cwhile \u201cJonger, but it is chained and\u2019 fettergd and bears the mark of Cain, dot og: W By the.vote of + ae the nation.pil apecticle as Surely it was.507 this which moved } Tonto ery out, ESTABLISHED 1845.of Engraving, S VARIETY to buy for.carefully executed.\u201cHENRY MORGAN.& CO, :Colonial House.Department Wedding Invitations Plates .Latest Styles in Paper and Envelopes, Card: ji Plates, Paper Stamped, &c;

hence the later aetion.playgrounds fitted out are extremely small ones\u2014the Washhurne is only about fifty feet square, and yet is crowded by several hundred children daily.Two at- terdants are required here.This duty, by the way, usually devolves upon the janitor, who takes it as a disagreeable tosk and is without sympathy.The demand for these playgrounds by the children is evinced by their uniformly overcrowded state.They are much appre- clated by the police, who have continually to make enemies of the children by stopping their street games and making them move on when they collect in groups on the sidewalk, thus destroying their respect both for the law and its officers.Curiously enough it has been found that the ehildren do not know how to play organized games, nor has it been found an easy matter to teach them, though the swings and other individual apparatus they take to quickly enough.Could any fact more imperatively show the peed for such playgrounds ?Another benefit is what one who has watched the scheme calls \u2018the at least momentary interruption to cigarette smoking.\u2019 THE DIVISION QF CHINA.According to Mr.Archibald R.Colqu- houn, who has spent many years In Burma, repeatedly visited Siam as an explorer and special correspondent of the London \u2018Times,\u2019 and was connected with various railway projects in those regions, Great Britain must take decisive action if the world is to be saved from the dcmination of the Slav.Palmerstonian methods, he believes, are required to safeguard British interests in the Far Fast.It is not his opinions, however, but his facts which constitute the value of his contribution to the discussions.Thus, the once colossal Chinese empiro is now virtually shrunk to the eighteen provinces of China proper.In other words, the area governed from Pekin, which once included four and a half million square miles, now contaips only one and a half million square miles.Comparatively speaking, this is about one- half the size of Europe, or seven times that of France.The outlying regions, containing vast tracts, excepting Thibet, are of little consequence to Great Britain.But even Thibet is likely to be Rus- sianized unless Britain interferes, as she did in Afghanistan, to prevent it.Manchuria may be surrendered without question to Russia.It is praetically hers Their need for playgrounds still | The.now.Mangolia, li ahd Kaghgaria are under the paw-of the bed, Whatever he pleases to ocenpy them.mains debatable, but for how Jong it will so remain nobody knows.Nothing seems to be left to the empire but China proper, whose boundaries are, on the east the Yellow and China seas; reaching from Cores to the Tongking Gulf ; on the west by Kokonor, Thibet and Burmah ; on the south Fongking and the Shan states ; on the north Mongolia and Rusgla.The population of the region thus enclosed Mr.Colquhoun estimates at three hupdred and fifvy millions.This eannot be considered dense or exces sive, as it is-about twelve times that of England, while the area on which it subsists ix thirty times greater.The peculiarity is in the distribution of the people, the preseure of population being intense an the seaboard and along the waterways, and diminishing as it spreads inland.eighteen provinces is good, cultivable land.For a Jong time pest there bas.been ap inflow of Mobammedans from Turkestan, till now there are about thirty million Moslems in China.In Pekin olone there are twenty thousand Mchammedap families.Islam, we are told, is making steady progress among the Chinese, the change of religion giving to the Chinese convert qualities he lacked under his older faith, namely, courage, independence and devotion.From an economic point of view the pos- frugal, ineredibly industrious and supple- fingered people are beyond calculation: ccmmunication, 8 magieal transformation must ensue, and, with the introduction of western methods, China will become the greatest and cheapest manufacturing country in the world.Her soil is extremely fertile ; coal, iron and other minerals exist in abundance, and are easy of access.Politically, the Chinese, outside the beaurocvatic class, know little and care less about imperial affairs.They only know the government when it annoys or fleeces them, but they are conversant with local affairs and know how to manage them.Outside their villages and provinces, they take little interest and have but slight perception of the virtue we call patriotism.: To hold her position, which Mr.Colquhoun cpnsiders a matter of fife and deattiê Great Britain should occupy the upper Yang-tee, and by railway connection with upper Burma develop trade between In- The upper navigable waters of the Irawaddy and the Yang-tee may easily be joined by rail,: and the continuity of British territory.and influence established fram Cape Cor;

; lanthropy, took the trouble to record it- By the opening up of lines of internal | *\" , y pening up \u2018self in favor of prohibition.represented \u2018a very large amount of latent sentiment behind it.If the plebiscite were taken at the same time a a general election the argument that only a small vote was elicited would no longer be able to Le urged.The fact that'the press was sneering to the full value of the adver- tieing subsidies it was receiving makes the great prohibition majority all the more wonderful.The very absurdity of the whole proposition as it presents itself to the English press is the highest testimony to the progress Canada has made in moral sentiment.- « We cannot thank the Liberal party for the way in which it carried out the plebiscite, at all events in this province.We do not blame the government as & while, hut: the branch of the party which so mandged things that the vote would sell as largely against prohibition gs possible.We do thank the government most heartily for the plebiscite itself.-Apart from any legislative oonsequences, the opportunity given to the people of Canada for mutual discua- sion of a question of supreme interest to them and the training they have received in realizing their responsibilities to their country have been invaluable.Whatever the government may choose to see in the wonderful vote that was polled, the world in general will look in amazement at the fact that with the exception of the adherents of one religion the whole people of Canada have declared in favor of sweepiug the liquor traffic out of the land, © We do not think the Liberal party has got itself out of \u2018a hole\u2019 by the result obtained in Quebec.It seems to have been generally held by all politicians of both parties who better than other men know the strength af fhe barroom in, politics, that the carry» \u2018ing of a prohibition mandate would put the government in \u2018a hole\u2019 To this end the average party man considered it his first duty to secure a small vote where prohibition was popular and a large adverse majority where that was possible, whether by fair means or foul.A worse result has arrived to the party through these tactios than a general prohibition majority would have brought upon it.More important to the ruling party than the appasition of the barroom was it that there should be a general consent of the whole country on one side or the other of this question, so that province should not be hopeless: ly arrayed ageinst province, thus creating a governmental impasse.As it is, we have all the provinces but one demanding prohibition all the more strongly because one province stands in their way, and we have one province coolly demanding the right to rule the nation in this matter.One eminent Liberal leader is .reparted as threatening the ne- cession of this province if it cannot have its own way.This hole is of the party's own choosing, and is a very awkward one indeed.CHANGE OF MANAGERS.Kingston, Ont, Ott.8.\u2014Superinten- dent mball, of the Kingston cotton mill, bas been transferred to Brantford Mesers.G.Wilson, and William Cook will manage the local institution.tha great evil of modere!

for the first business session at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon in the rooms as signed to them for their deliberations at the French Foreign Office.There was no formal action at the conference.The

to mapping out the future work.But even on this point nothing definite was arranged.The two secretaries were ordered to draw up a pre- gramme which will be submitted later to the commission.GENERAL MERRITT SPEAKS.ew York, Oct.3.\u2014A cable to the \u2018World\u2019 from Marseilles, dated Sunday, follows :\u2014\u2018Major-General Merrift, accom: panied by Majors Strother and Hale, Captain Mott and Mr.Howell, private secretary, arrived here to-day on the Peninsular and Oriental mail boat \u2018Arcadia® They left Manilla for Paris on Aug.30.\u201cIam going to Paris,\u201d he said, \u201cas military adviser of the United States Peace Commission.When I left the Philippines the situation had decidedly improved.I do not anticipate any serious difficulty there with the insurgent leaders.\u201d \u2018\u201cDo you consider the insurgents fit for self-government ?\u201d \u2018 \u201cY doubt it, under present conditions.Their leaders are very intelligent and much better fitted for self-government, so far as I can judge, than the Cuban insurgent leaders.The Filipinos, too, ure relatively better off than the Cubans.I think that if they find that the Spanish Government is not to be retained they will be perfectly amenable to a government of the kind that is likely to be established.\u201d \u2018The General then turned the subject by saying : \u201cWe had a very fine voyage and agreeable company, particularly from Egypt, where several British officers who took part in the battle of Omdurman joined us.We found plenty to talk about in our respective experiences.These British officers are splendid fellows and enthusiastic soldiers.\u201d \u2019 The Paris correspondent of the \u2018Im- parcial\u2019 of Madrid has telegraphed his paper that he is amazed at the

too well known politically.He is a small man, short, thin, and careless in dress, with a sickly appearance, sallow cheeks, and prominent check bones.There is a total of the commission of thirty-four, and not one of them brings a servant.\u2019 Madrid, Oct.1.\u2014The Cabinet has decided to authorize Gen.Rios to grant reforms in the Vizayas Islands, on the lines demanded by the inhabitants, and to concentrate his forces at Mindanao, as there are only 450 men garrisoning the Vizayas.The Spanish Ministers also decided to protest to the Government at Washington against the refusal of the Americans to permit Spanish troops to be sent to the Vizayas, while, it is claimed, the insurgents are constantly receiving arms and cannon, with which to attack other islands, \u2018Which the Americans permit without even pretending to in terfere.The Spanish Cabinet, it is added, will acquaint its Paris commissioners with these contentions, in order that they may be used in the peace negotiations.Finally, it is announced, the government here would inform the government at Washington, that it has decided to send reinforcements to the Vizayas, and it has ordered seven batteries of artillery in Andalusia to get ready for the Philippines in twenty-four hours.In addition: to this the Cabinet will repeat its protests against the insurgents continuing to hold Spanish prisoners in the Philippine Islands.The government here intimates that there are 20,000 people in Puerto Rico who desire to return to Spain, NOT THE PEOPLE'S OPINION.The \u2018Courrier du Canada,\u201d referring lo the plebiscite vote in the province of (Quebec, says :\u2014* Thursday's vote was not à real expression of the opinion of the people, for we know that in the large cities hundreds of persons were made to vote who had no right to do so.The watch-word was given to take the place of those who abstained, who were absent, or who were dead.In Quebec wo witnessed that featpre in a large rium- ber of polls,

CHAPTER I.Her inches were hardly proportionate ©.her years, and these measured thvee.\"he balanced the deficiency by breadth «nd toddled about on the fattest of short legs.She was nat pretty after the angelic pattern, and was all the more gaging.It would be difficult for her biographer : zay, which were the more admirable, -her smile, that raced like a pink radi- vire from the soft little chin, to the rystal-blue eyes, or the two perpendicu- ir lines of thought and fearful anxiety that sometimes sprang between the mobile brows, and generally .furnished the occasion for stamping her foot at sume refractory subject, or were brought into play by an earnest insistence om having the unanswerable answered without delay.As most of her hours were spent out of doors, and hats ware aniipsthetic to Ler, it followed that few of her subjects enjoyed a sight of the carefully combed and curled little poll that left her mother's hand every morning.Instead, they had the more disturbing, if less elegant, picture, of fine brown silk rolling and shaking like the floss of a King Charles, in the dearest confusion imaginable, around and sbout the bright little face.The invasion of curls just permitted the pretty upward play of brown «yelashes against the protruding arch of brow, so that the big blue eyes looked out from a forest of winter shade.She had the divinest of mouths, an arched rosy bud, formed as a child's mouth rarely is, sweet and perfectly shaped, «ith an imperious claim upon kisses.Nat to wish to kiss her was to prove vourself inhuman, She was never dirty, though not exactly a precisian in the matter of raiment.It would not be safe to trust her with an orange, if it were intended she should sit upon the chairs of eivilization, an emblem of spot- ss childhood; but she could be relied upon any day to pass a neighborhood where mud-pies were being manufactured and not succumb to the burnipg temp sition to bemire herself.Such was Norry, the uncrowned queen f a remote little town on the edge of 4+ glorious Irish lake, Like the Oriental hilanthropist, she loved her fellow-men.ier existence was based en the first law i Christianity, with such a surprisiny{ -vault that her fellows of all classes, creeds, sexes, and ages, worshipped her.She was not of the order of female infant that was content fo stay indoors \"nd pley with dolls.Nor were outdoor games the chief delight of her life.What she liked was the making and ni uniyereal pegiien : She woke with the Fre.p ; «th the fortunes of Tommy This and Molly That, and chattered about them wile she graciously submitted to the rneroachments of soap, water, bath- -wel, and brush; and she was still dis- \"nrsing of them in passionate interludes «ule Marcella fed her upon bread and +k and porridge in the kitchen.She it was who welcomed all new- - ners into the town-\u2014tramps, travellers | visitors.Her formula was as rigid +1 unchanging as royal etiquette.She vw no line between beggars and noble- on.but simply said to the trousered male, \u2018Man, what's your name?If \u201chere were any geniality in the reply amd there usually was), she invariably led: \u2018Fhe blessing of Dod on you.jviss me!\u201d Upon her lips, however.the wmand took the form of tish.The rerson in petticoats she addressed as \u201cman, and if the \u2018oman happened to » accompanied by a baby, it was an ex- \u2018ing moment for Norry.Rabies, puppies, and kittens, constitut- +1 the most interesting portion of hu- vanity in her eyes.They were all Joaty, as she called them.She insisted on kissing every baby that crossed her path, even on occasional visits to the \u201chronged city where her grandmother jived, to the dismay and discomfort of lier handsome young aunts, Whatever she had in her bands she must needs bestow upon the long-frocked creature, not infrequently to repent her of her generosity five minutes later.and demand restitution of the gift.When she had, so to speak, conferred the freedom of the town upon the stranger, Norry instantly toddled off with eager intent to acquaint the world that Sohnny Murphy\u2019 or Biddy Magrath bad been welcomed to her domains.The episode of Norry and the Marquis is a tale in which the town takes much pride.The idlers round the bar sti'l tell it to one another with unabated zlee: and Norry's kindness to the big man is one of the reasons why the town has lately begun to look with less open lisfavor upon that haughty aristocrat.For the lord of the soil is not a genial Sem 0 i.ADVERTISEMENTS.THE ROOTS OF CANCER.This is where the knife falls, Plas- terc also, although inflicting agonizing pain, fai!

\u2018Oh, me lord, I have nothing to do with your throwings.Maybe \u2019tis your divarsion; \u2018tis no affair of mine, anyhow.What I want is me money paid into me own hand, as between Christian and Christian.Your driver is welcome to the other bit of silver, if he likes; but I must be paid in me own fashion.\u201d It was chanted in the sing-song brogue all over the town that evening how grand a sight it was to see the Marquis take a half-crown out of his pocket, and submissively place it on Kitty's extended palm.But a smaller flower of her sex was to subdue the haughty Marquis in quite another way.He had not visited his Irish eptates since the appearance of Norry on the scené, and in consequence could not be aware that, in comparison with this pinafored autocrat, he was a personage of no influence or prestige whatever.On the other hand, Norry had never heard of the lord of the soil, and was under the impression that the beautiful park formed, like everything else around her, 8 suitable environment and background for her awn individuality.LE ro drame gaged upon her bréad and milk in the kitchen with Marcella, the child was toddling up the main street, hatless, the brown floss on her head blown about in every direction.After her straggled a band of admiring children to whom she discoursed lispingly in her ardent, imperious, and wholly delightful fashion.They obeyed her because they loved her, but they would have had to obey her in any case.Disobedience and dissent were things she neither comprehended nor tolerated.She went towards the park, and at the top of the etreet commanded her guard of honor to await her return ; not because she yearned to breathe a while in the fresh morning air the privacy of incognito, for ghe was unacquainted with shyness as she was with fear ; but she said she wanted to see Jacky Molloy's puppy, and Jacky was an invalid living in a cottage close to the park avenue.(To be continued.)

E.Fry, R.Mac- dougall, H.Macdougall, half backs : Dr.Jack, quarter; Savage, Low, Ryde, scrimmage ; Lash, .Molson, Massey, Caldlcott, Porteous, Barclay, Maxwell, wings.Granites\u2014Reyner, back; Hazlett, Hamll- ton, Metcalfe, half backs;

Montreal, 11, From the kiek- oft the Granites rushed np, and a good pass from Dalton to Hamilton and a good run by the latter gained considerable ground, but E.Fry got it and was pushed In touch near the \u201825\u2019 yard line.\u2018Hazlett\u2019s Injuries Lad then to be attended to, and soon after the bail befrg started half time was called the score being: CGranites, 12: Montreal, 11.The Montreal team seemed to have wak- enra up considerably, _especially the \u2018or- wards at the commencement of the second balf, and for a minute had things al) Its own way.but it was only a spurt.H.Mac- dougall crossed the Granite's line fron a lotg pass by Fry, but the reforoc called / ESS NOT A gr A A 3 > x GH A: | = xg LA CA = 7 7 ;

kicked out well.Some quick play followed by bot hteams, and H.Macdougall passed to R.Maodougall who got over between the posts, and kicked a gbal from tbe try, making the score 18 to 12 in Montreal's favor.Kingston claimed this was not a goal, notwithstanding the goal judge having Leld up his hand, and the referee sustaining them the score was reduced to 16 to 12.Montrealers were playing a much better game just now, their backs eclally do- Ing effective work.Porter and Maxwell were then ordered off for five minutes for scrapping.Just here the game got very hot, and language mare forcible than polite was indulged in in wholesale quantities by some of the players, and some of the men on both stles would have dome better to save thelr wind for football, and let their captains do the talking.A pass by Jack to Bob Mac- dougall, who passed to H.Macdougall, who muffed, let in Gates and Clarke, the latter scoring.Hamilton gained the premier point making the score 18 to 16 in favor of the Granites.Another flve minutes elay oc- cured while Barclay\u2019s ankle was being fixed up, after his twisting it.A good run by Dalton and a pass to Hamilton gained some ground, and then a good

struck back in self-defence.The referee quickly ordered both players off for the rest of the game.A good run by Dalton, and a good pass Lo Reyner resulted in the Granites getting over, but the referee's whistle went and it did pot count.From the scrimmage the ball went to Fry who kicked well down in touch, and by quick following up the ball was worked into the visitor's quarters.A long pase across the field by E.Fry to H.Macdougall who ran in and then passed to R.Macdougall resulted in the latter gettin, over.He took the place and made a g- attempt.Score: Montreal, 20; Granites, 18, Some

going off the Montreal side to even up.Montreals were glven a free kick for off side, and H.Macdougall kicked over and the Granites rouged.Score, 21 to 19.Doctor Jack was playing a good game, and was being ably assisted In buck- {og the scrimmage by his forwards.From a scrimmage J.Savage got the ball and did not stay long to dellberate, but was cver underneath the posts before the Granites knew what he was about.Bob Macdougalj was again euccessful and the score read 27 to 19 in favor of the homesters.From the kick-off the ball travelled between the backs of the opposing teams.The ball was sent in touch in the Granites's \u201825.\u2019 A very peculiar decision of the referse put Jack and Porter off for five minutes.These two players had tackled and were getting up laughing at each other, when to the surprise of everybody the referee rushed up and said \u2018You two fellows will have to stay oft the game for five minutes.If this goes on I will put you all off.These two men had been playing the best game on their respective shes, and certainly had done nothicg deserving the scntenee of the re- f up feree.A good pass from Bob Macdougall .to H.Macdougall, who kicked and followed SCENES AT THE FOOTBALL MATCH\u2014MONTREALERS VERSUS uickly, almost let him in again, but the ball was worked down to contre when tinre was called, leaving Montreal victors by 27 to 18.Montreal will undoubtedly have to play a better game next week if they want to come out an top against Ottawa College.The forwards want to play more ball and talk less.Another thing the Montreal forwards want to do, is to practice dribbling.With a fast lot of men such as they, a good dribbling rush would take a deal of stopping.The backs played a good game, kicking and tackling in first-class shape, Dr.Jack being especially effective in his tackling, On the forward line Savage, Moi- son and Barclay did well.For the Granites Reyner, who was playing under difficulties, having been very sick elmost up to the commencement of the match, played a plucky game.Hamilton, Porter and Clarke also did well.ALMOST A WHITEWASH.The Intermediate series of the Quebec Rugby Unlon was opened on Saturday, by a match between the Britanndas and Montreal II., probably owing to the superior attraction offered by the senior series match, the attendance at the Baseba]l Park, where the Intermediate game was played, was extremely small, and enthusiasm was lacking.Good football was in.evidence and there were, however, occasions when the passing and tackHing of the back divisions, particularly of the Britannias, reached an excellence not common In intermediate teams.The Brttanntas\u2019 forward line and haives will be found hard to excel.former line was heavier and faster than its opponents, and time and again asserted its superiority.The halves tackled accurately, and have apparently learned well that important lesson that true and steady combination fs more valuable than individual play.It was not, however, owing to any marked infertority of its half-back division that the Montreal team suffered a defeat, 80 decisive, Opportunity was not given them often enough of asserting the speed and checking powers they undoubtedly pos- sees.During the greater part of the game the Britannia forwards by skilful work in the scrimmage so monopoiised the ball that the Montreal quarter got but few chances of feeding his halves.The wings on both sides appeared to be pretty evenly matched, bot In strength and in a After considerable delay play was stArted from the Britannia end and swiftly carried into the vicinity of the Montreal goal, where after some scrimmaging the ball was carried over and Montreal was forced to rouge.Play was not long in progress before the game was again carried into Montreal territory, and after some heavy forward play, of which the Britannles had the best, a try was secured.The try was easily converted.For a time after this Montreal pulled itself together and worked hard to score.Play was now very fast, but the weight of the Britannia forwards told heavily, and the visitors were forced back gradually on their own line.After some loose scrim- waging within the Montreal 25-yard line, the attacking halves got possession, and through dint of accurate passing and good running, Mackenzie got over for a try,from which + Christmas scored a goal.After the Kiek-off the Britannia halves got the ball again, and then ensued some clean combination work, which only failed to score through the accurate tackling by the Mant- real balves.From the scrimmage resulting from this, Conrad.the Britannia\u2019s heavy forward, broke through and crossed the Montreal jine for a try.The kick failed.Not one whit disheartened by the large lead its opponents now held.Montreal played with increased vigor, and hard work by the wings enabled the halves to get in a run, which looked almost certain to score.The run was, however, checked, almost on the line.This was the only point Montreal succeeded In gaining.The game was after this confined to the Montreal end, where from a, throw in from touch, Wilson caught the f The | ball and got over for a try with comparative ease.The try was not converted.Half-time as called shortly after, with the ball in Montreal territory, and another score imminent.It was decided to shorten considerably the second half, which was started by the Montreal team.This half resolved itself almost at once into a series of ecrimmages, generally in favor of the heavier side, and carried on for the most part within the Montreal 25-yard line.From one of these Conrad again broke through and scored.Shortly after this Blair Russell, the Montreal back, got a nasty fall in a plucky endeavor to stop a Britannia half.He saved the try.but had to leave the game {n coa- sequence.Just before time was called Mort- real was again forced to rouge, and the match ended In favor of Britannia by a score of 27 to 1.The teams were as follows: \u2014 Britannia\u2014Back, J.McGee ; naïves, W.Christmas, F.McKeen, F.Brown; quarter, Bisailion ; forwards, conrad, MeCallum, Byrns; winas, H.Christmas, L.H.Henderson, R.McDonald,

football match between the Foint St.Charles and Junior Britts, foot- bull teams cn the Queen's Park on Saturday afternoon, It was the first match of the league of the Quebec Rugby Union, and there was much excitement, The ground vas In frightful condition, water and mud being much in evidence down one side, and there was congiderable amusement when scrimmages tcok place.The \u2018Poini\u2019 team went on the fleld in new rig-outs, but at the close of the game both fifteens were simply covered with mud.The Dritts, team is a Mkely set, and will be hard to beat in the junior series, as tho men have a good kncwledge of the game, and are pretty heavy.The homesters put up a rattling good game, considering it is the first time they have played together in a patch.They have the making of a good cam.The teams were es follows \u2018Paints\u2019\u2014L.Jehu, back; W.Edison, Jenkins, Marshall, half backs; Young, quarter back; C.McLean, J.Smith, Jack Smith, P.Charlton, artin, wings; McLaren,

scrimmages took place, in which the strength of the visitors was very apparent, but after a while.the team rushed the ball into the Brit's twenty-five, and Jack Smith, secur- ted \u2018for the \u2018Points\u2019, Tha.few spectators went wild, but the attempt at gcal by Jenkins falled, It was a poor kick \u2018 fron an easy place.Shortly after the re-slart the visitors woke up and rushed the ball over the \u2018Points\u2019 Mine for a try, which was not converted, This made the score four points all, No more scoring was done until the second half, when the visitors had the best of the play, and rushed the ball over the line through a com- piete muff on the part of Marshall.The ball went on to the track, and an arghment follcwed, which resulted in Riferee Mc- Robie awar(ing the Britts.two points; this gave them a lead.It must be stated that the.referes.favored the \u2018visitors \u2018In every yoy and failed to give general satisfaction.The frai score.was aix points to four in favor of the Britts.McGILL'S VICTORY.Ottawa,Oct.2.\u2014The.Ottawa Collewe fifteen shampione of Canada, were defeated by the McHll students In a poorly played game on the \u2019Varéity campus here on Saturday by a score of eleven points to one.The play was slow and uninteresting, and utterly ie.void of interest.The small crowd of spectators was scarcely ever roused to enthus- fasm, From start to finieh it was a scrimmage game, Whenever the ball became Life Meg] always made lazge gains and Ineir.wiigs were.faster and snappier players than 4he-college men.The Ottiwa \u2019Varsity were weak, very woak, and unless a improvement takes plate within a short time, the.championship will not be woi by the wearers of the garnet and grey.From the backs to the forward every man played listiessiy.Theré was no attempt at systematic play, and the score in favor of McGill should have been considerably greater.McGill.while not playing cham- plonship football, has plenty of good ma\u2018er- lal in its ranks, and should be heard from before the Rugby season ends, Dufty plays 8 falr game at quarter and backs the tne hard.He is afraid to trust his backs however, and rarely passed to them.McGill made the only score in the first half, when Molson went over the line for a try, which Ogilvie failed to convert.The first half ended with the ball at McGill's line.In the second half the teams battled hard and scrimmages were of frequent occurrence.Duffy got over the Mne for at ry.but it was brought back, as Trenholm had rin into touch before passing to Dufiy.Hol- ton puesed out to Baskerville, and the latter was knocked down before he could hardle the ball, and Sutherland fell on the oval for a tcuch down.Ogilvie converted and thc score board read McGill, 10; College,

defence ; Gamble, centre ; Fred.Morn, MoLean, Frank Morn, home; O'Connor,outside home; Nolan, inside home.LAllle, captain.Umpires\u2014OdeH, Gilkinson.Timekeepers\u2014N.Quinn, R.Kelly.Referee\u2014David Coulson.The visitors wom the toss and decided to defend the upper goals, having all the advantage of the weather.Brown got the best of the face and sent the ball down to Cousineau who made a big mistake by passing the ball across the goals, when he had a good chance to score with safety.Bath goalkeepers were cased upon and showed that they were experts at the game.The trouble with the visitors was that they shot when too far away from the goals.It fell to the lot.of Brennan to score the first game.Time, \u20ac minutes.Nationals, 1; Toronto, 0.The second game was the longest and most stubbornly fought of the day.It was a great game of lacrosse, and one which thoroughly aroused the enthusiasm of all.It was clever combination work, and quick at that, in a sweltering sun.Both goals were threatened in turn, and cleverly defended.Nolan was caught holding Foley's stick and a face ensued.The visitors worked the ball well up the field, but Murphy bappened to be tm the road, and spolled what looked like dangerous work.The home defence had now settled down, and seemed to be invincible.It was in this game that Fred.Morn proved himself to be a star.Brennan threw in once, but Allan caught the ball and sent it out but not out of danger, as Brennan picked it up and soored è second game.Time, 28 minutes.ationala, 2; Toronto, 0.After the opening of the third game the home team was soon up at the visitors\u2019 goal but the attempt to score was fruitless.The Neatlonal defence played with much judgment and cool hea whereas the Toronto home was a bit erratic in shooting for.goal.Allin gat promptly ruled off for deliberately striking White, which weakened the visitors somewhat.Grimes took Allan\u2019g place between the poles.The visitors Played much harder, although a good man short, and if Fred Morn had shot for goad instead of passing to Nolan, he might have scored for his colors.O'Connor lost à beautiful chance to score, and the bail went to the other end of the fleld.White secured the ball, and scored the third game tor his club.Time, 11 minutes.Nationals, 3; Toronto, 0.The fourth game was a short one.The ball got up as far as Kavanagh, who sent it down to McKeown, who passed to Cousineau, whq scored.Time, 30 seconds.Nationals, 4; Torcnto, 0.It now looked blue for the Visitors, but nothing daunted they went on the ficld again evidently with the determination to score, and they did.The passing of the visitors lacked Judgment, and they lost by it.For a time nearly all the men were around Allan's charge, and he defended it nebly.Only for bis brfilhant work tha To- romto colors would have fallen oftemer.It fell to the lot of Fred.Morn, after some hard work, to score for the visitors by a well directed shot.Time, 10 minutes.Na- tinals, 4; Toronto, 1.In the sixth game Brown tried to do some fancy work, apparently for the benefit of the grand stand, but he lost the ball, York took it from him very easily, and he passed it alogg to Nolan, who scored.Time, 9 minutes.tionals, 4; Toronto, 2.There were but thirty seconds to play.Gamble sent the ball in from centre, but Murphy caught it and gent it down fleld.Just as time was called there was a scrap between White and Tobin, and Captain Brophy took à hand in it too, and it threatened to assume larger proportions, but wiser and cooler heads put an end to it, The Nationals then left the J champions for 1898.grounds the YACHTING.YACHTING RULES CHANGED.New York, Oct.1.\u2014At the annual meeting of the North American Yacht Racing Union, held at the Windsor Hotel to-day important changes Were made in the racing conclusion has been reached tha the length and sail .area rule now fo rene must be done away with, apd something else substituted.Of aj] the formulas considered only one that has had a fair trial With good results is the girth rule, In its report, the council said of this rule: \u2018It has proven to be a Just measure of speed; It penalizes no boat; it taxes size, Power and propelling force only to the extent of equalizing the chances of winuing With boats of different types brought to- in their legitimate classes, The adoption of this rule would promote international uniformity, the benefits of which to this union would be unquestioned.' It 1s quite unlikely that any changes will be made In this rule without an international conference, in which our Union would then nave a prominent part, The council then submitted the rules relating to measurement, classification and crews, and recommended the adoption ct them by the Union, Thère were several prctests against thls, but the rules were adopted.Secretary Jones moved that the name of the North American Yacht Racing Union, be changed to the Yacht Racing Union of North America, which was done.The new formula which whl take the Place of the old \u2018water line and sall area\u2019 rule is as follows: The beam should be taken from outside to outside of the planking on the broadest part of the yacht, and no allowance should be made for whales, double planks, or molding of any kind.The girth shall be taken from load-water line to load water line under the keel, and & point 0.6 of the distance between tho outer edges of tbe load water line marks from the fore end.The girth shall be measured along the actual outline of the vertical cross section at that polnt at right angles to the load water fine.If the draught forward of that point exceede the draught at that point, twice such excess to be added to girth.In taking these miéns- urements all hollows on the fore and aft under water profile of the vessel to be treated as filled up straight.To the girth of centrehoard yachts must be added twice the distance between thc lower side of the keel to the centre of the area of the centre board when lowered to its full extent.Centre boards, when ballasted or fitted with bulks or otherwise, to be measured as flxed keels.The measurer must also fix marks marking the limit of the points of girth meas.urcment.Sail area will be determined by the old method, and the racing measurement of a yacht launched after Oct.1, 1898, will be assumed to be the maximum limit of her class, Several changes were also made in the classification of yachts and crews allowed.The following yachtsmen were elected as members of the council for 1899: Louis M.Clark, Frank Bowne Jones, Newbury D Lawton, E.M.Radder, Aemilius Jarvis, J.M.MacDunough, A.J.Prime, A.T.Bliss, G.H.Duggan, Oswald

issue in the pre- rence of one of the largest and most select azemtiages that hes ever gathered around ~ne v.rdant oval.The prczramme, which contained the ames of some of the leading athletes in \u2018ta eccuntry, was a varled one and the games were international in character [n- asmuch as several Canadians took part in \u201cdem.Last week in Canada, Blose beat Kraenz- in at the running broad jump, but to-day Eraenzlein won that event with Blogs sec- vad, each clearing more than 23 feet.The Pennsylvania University man was in rare fattle and he won the 120 yards burdle race, as well as the broad jump.H.F.Nancel, the N.J.A.C runner, won the half-mile run from scratch, finishing four yards ahead of George Stephen of Montreal, who was in recent of 20 yards.Alex.Grant, cf the N.Y.A.C., who was beaten by Alex.Brodie, Montreal.at the mile in Canada, last week, met his conqueror on 10 yazds better fersns the result of list \u2018week, winning: twelve yards, or two more than his allowance.The Carndien time for the mile was 4.35, but to-day Grant, with 15 yards, finished in 15 seconds less and Brodie who was on the five yard mark, was two seconds lower.This was quite a big reversal of form and speed.Summaries follow: \u2014 120 yards run, handic First heat, won ty Arthur H.Kent, St.Bartholomew'\u2019s A.C, NS Y.(3 yards); second, W.M.Long, N.YA.C.(scratch).Time, 12

Oct.tional cricket match between RUNS AHEAD.1.\u2014The the interna- picked | Philadelphian Gentiemen eleven and Cap- f tain Warner's English team is still unde- i cided, and considerable interest is carried over to the play of Monday, when it will be shown whether the Englishmen can top the score of the Philadelphians.When stumps were drawn yesterday the Philadel- \\ phia men bad finished their first inning for i 143 runs, and the Englishmen had lost four wickets in their firet inping for 114.The visitors to-day in concluding their inning, lost four wickets rapidly, and added but 19 runs, with the remaining six wickets, the bowling of Xing and Clark belng terribly effective.The inning ended by a total of 138, ten less than the local men.The Phila- delphians, in their second inning, obtained 147 runs, making their grand total 290.The English team with 158 runs to make to win, entered upon their final inning.When stumps were dravn to-day they had ob- taired 69 runs, with the loss of four wickets.There was a falr average chance for the Britons, as they have remaining six wickets, and need 89 runs.BASEBALL STANDING OF THE CLUBS.Per- Club.Woz Lost.cent.Beaton 54465 ee 0e ee 93 45

but in practice it isn\u2019t so.In- order to participate in the distribution must live there.Consequently, the rentals of tenements in that parish are twice and three times as high as the rentals of similar tenements in adjoining parishes.People pay higher rents so as to get part of the fund.Thus-the gift\u201d which was intended for the -poor of the- parish goes in reality, through the hands of the poor, to the owners of the site of the parish.The story neatly iflustrates an invariable law.The financial benefits, whatever they may.be, which are available to the inhabitants of any particular territory invariably slip through the\u2019 fingers of those who are supposed to-@n-.joy them, into the pockets of the owners of the territory.\u201d Localized advan: tages raise rent.It is in obedience to - this law or principle that public benefits\u2019 ultimately increase the rent of the land to which it is necessary to go to enjoy them.If, for example, the government of New York or Chicago were very much improved, no one would reap the pecuniary benefit except the owners of New York and Chicago land.The more desirable a city is made for business or residence purposek) the more it costs in rent.to live there.New Yorkers are already learning this from their experience with the small parks they have been making to give fresh air to the poor.The poor dre getting the fresh.air, but.the neighboring- landlords are- \u2018Work | being paid for-ft higher \u2018rents.NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING, MEN DECLARE THAT ALL OTHERS IN THE SAME TRADE ARE IGNORANT.\u2018I've come to the conclusion that nobody knows anything,\u2019 seid the small man, who had just dropped in to ask the lawyer how he was and had stayed twenty minutes.\u2018Been reading Ibsen,\u201d suggested the student, who was studying leases.\u2018No.Been observing.I mean mechanics and\" tradesmen.To-day I stepped into a store where they sell eyeglasses.There was a sign in the wins dow \u2018proposing to fix ill-adjusted glasses cheerfully and without charge.The man took mine, glanced at them in a deprecating manner, and asked where I got them.I gave him the name of a wel)- known house.He laughed softly and then told me that they were not adjusted right, the guards were not mates, and that the other man did not know.his business.Now the other man, I remember, distinctly told me that ne other man in Chicago knew the business but him.What do you make out of that To \u2018My aunt has a cottage near Engle- wood,\u2019 said the student, \u2018and the other day 1 was there when -a painter came to make estimates.1 remember \u201cthat he was very anxious to know what botch pairited the house before.Said\" he ought to be \u2018exposed to the trade,\u201d = 2 \u2018That reminds me,\u201d said \u2018the lawyer, \u2018of my watch.It stopped the other day, and I dropped \u2018into a Chirk street jewel: ler\u2019s to see what was the matter.The.man put a glass in his eye, opened the watch, squinted in and then looked ut : me with the other eye in pitying aston, ishment.\u2018For heaven's \u2018sake,\u2019 he said, - \u201cwho cleaned this watch last ?He must - have been a hlacksmith.\u201d\u2019, ~~ \"0 \u2018Say,\u2019 put in the man who was wait-: ing for the lawyer's partner to -pay \u2018him : © a bill.\u201cYou ought to hire & plumber if you want fo hear that talk.W ;

PE TS An \u2026.\u2014- 2 a ae ew PR ava ze ET & x hd CROW\u2019S NEST PASS.Winnipeg Reporter Invest the Complaints of the Men.Winnipeg, Oct.1\u2014The Winnipeg \u2018Telè- gram\u2019 publishes a report, nine columns long, from a special correspondent sent to enquire into the condition of the laborers on the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway construction.The work is being done jointly by contradtors and by officials and men belonging to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.The contractors and their laborers do the grading, while the company\u2019s men do the track laying and bridging.The company has no control over the laborers employed by the contractors, and is not responsible for the treatment they receive.At the same time it guarantees payment of their wages, and has organired a.hospital system, comprising pine hospitals and seven doctors, for.then.in.case of, sickness, which costs it a -good .deal mare than the aggregate of the fees paid.by the men.The: fee iz fifty: cents per month, payable by every man on the work, well or ill, against a dollar and fifteen cents per month payable on the Northern Pacific construction.The hospital service covers the entire route, which # two hundred miles long, and gives each doctor charge of about five hundred men.he company carries laborers from the eastern proviaces to.Macleod and points beyond for a cent a mile, and supplies and shoes, mitts, and other clothing at reasonable prices from its own stores.1t , is under no obligation to carry the men hack home at reduced rates; nevertheless hundreds who have fallen ill or have proved unfit for that kind of work have been sent back on free passes.Wages of laborers, originally $1.50 per day, arc now $1.35.Every man engaged in the East by the company\u2019s agents signs a contract in Which the terms, binding on himself and on the company, are set forth.Last year, however, a number of men were hired by irresponsible employment agents, who misrepresented the terms in order to get the head- money of two dollars per man from the contractors.Furthermore, a large proportion of the men, fully ninety percent, it is said, had had no experience of such work, they were «lerks and men of that sort unable to find employment in eastern cities.It was inevitable that they should suffer and complain of the stern conditions that confronted them in a new country, where everything had to be organized in a hurry, and where teaming for long distances on roads, frequently rendered impassable by floods, was the only means of getting in supplies and material.The regular navvies agcustomed to railway building have never had any fault to find.Italian laborers especially have done well.But this class of labor was practically shut out by the passage of the Canadian alien labor law and the contractors were obliged in spite of themselves to bring inexperienced men from eastern Canada.The correspondent finds that owing to the difficulties encountered at the inception of the work some of the labor ers employed by the contractors sui- fered considerable hardship, and that for a while the prices which they had to pay for clothing at the contractors\u2019 storehouses were exorbitant.On the other band, the men employed by the company, for whom alone the company is responsible, have never had a grievance bevond those inseparable from the rough life incidental to frontiering.The men are paid in cash monthly.The complaint that orders were given them on the stores, or that they were paid in time cheques, which it was impossible to cash, turns out to have been unfounded.Where the company has advanced clothing, etc., to a man the cost is deducted from his monthly pay ; otherwise he is paid in cash at all times.No cheques are given save to men who leave the work in the middle of the month, but it is easy enough for fhem to turn the cheques into cash at anv of the numerous offices along the road.It is impossible in that far away region to keep lerge amounts of cash on hand to meet the.case of men Jeaving before the régu- lar monthly pay day.: \u201cThe food and hoarding accommodations ate \u2018said \u2018to be better than those usually supplied on construction work.If a man does not care to board at the contractors\u2019 boarding houses he can go to an independent boarding house or build a shack and board himself.| The Ital- iene live in gangs in this fashion.- The eorregpondent quotes figures showing the immense quantities of beef, pork, mutton, flour, apples, butter, beans, tea, coffee, cheese, fruit, jams, rolled oats, pickles, canned corn, peas, prunes, plums, \u2018tomatoes, etc., supplied to the company\u2019s men by the supply contractors, and says the other hoarding houses are almost equally well furnished.~The Canadian Pacific Company prohibits the sale of liquor on is land and property.Unhappily, the British Columbia Government grants a license to sell whiskey to any one who chooses to pay a fee of fifty dollars, and considerable drunkenness and demoralization has resulted from this cause.Much of the grumbling which has found expression in eastern newspapers has come from men ruined im these dives.The correspondent severely criticises the British Colimbia Government for granting liquor licenses along a railway so far from civilization.~ - The correspondent sums up as follows: \u201cThe only conclusions which can be + reached from an investigation of all the various matters of complaint and from actual experience on, ths apot are :\u2014 Firat, that there are no general genuine grievances, although there are: isolated cases of hardship such as are always likely to occur on such.works ; - Secondly, that the \u2018treatment as to board, accommodation, .wages, medical attendance, etc., is fully as good, and in many cases better, than that on similaf works anywhere, in- Canada ; and, | Finally, there never would have been one word of eomplaint, any more than there is on other construction works, \u2018had it not been for the fact that a class of men were engaged to work on the ow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway who were utterly.unfitted in every way for such labor, and who consequentiy found what to.them seemed unbearable hardships, in the ordinary conditions of pioneer railway building.\u2019 tet FRENCH ON THE NILE.NEGOTIATIONS FOR A SETTLE: STION TO MENT, OF THE QUESTION BE BEGUN AT ONCE.- ny London, Oct.1.\u2014\u2018Vanity Fair's\u2019 correspondent with the Nile expedition writes that General Kitchener says that a French flag was sent to the Khalifa at Omdurman.But it appears its reception was most undignified.The dervish leader gave it to his.Arab slave, who used it for cleansing bimself before prayers.Paris, Oct.2.\u2014In order to avoid loss of time the British and French governments have degided not to await the arrival of Major Marchand\u2019s report, but to begin negotiations immediately for the settlement of the question of the oc-, cupation of Fashoda.London, Oct.3\u2014A despatch from Cairo to the \u2018Daily Telegraph\u2019 confirms the statement that Major Marchand had one brush with the dervish gunboats, which had gone to fetch reinforcements.He was in sore straits, and numbers of his men had died and deserted.On the arrival of the Sirdar he had the entire force of about 120 Senegalese and five Frenchmen entrenched on a small tongue of land.The natives in that vicinity were menacing.Major Marchand came to the water's edge to meet the Sirdar, and chatted amicably with him.The Frenchmen produced some champagne and drinks were had all round.New York, Oct.3.\u2014The London correspondent of the \u2018Sun\u2019 says : \u2018The understanding with Germany seems to relate to the entire African continent, and not only to the reversion of a Portuguese coi- ony.Most of the German press, in pursuance of the mutual dislike existing between the Berlin and London newspapers, candidly avow that they have been publishing articles urging.the French to insist upon the retention of \u2018Fashoda, but the \u2018Kolanische Zeitung\u2019 prints to-day this communication : \u2018Taking account of the relative number of the forces in the Soudan, as well as the general situation there, France can hardly expect to uphold her claim to the possession of Fashoda.England: is firmly resolved not to tolerate French centres oi influence in the Soudan under any -cir- cumstances.The difficulty of bringing about an understanding mainly consists of the question how to find a way out without hurting French susceptibilities, a way which would offer compensations wherewith the French Government could, to the outside public, at any rate, declare itself satisfied.\u2019 REINFORCEMENTS FOR GEDA- REF.Cairo, Oct.2.\u2014 Reinforcements have been ordered from Omdurman to Geda- ref, where the force under Col.Parsons Las repulsed another dervish attack\u2019 with slight loss.There is no news from Fashoda;.but in all probability Major Marchand will shortly evacuate his position there.\u2014\u2014 LATE HON, T.F.BAYARD.REMAINS LAID AT REST AT WILMINGTON ON SATURDAY.Wilmington, Del., Oct.1.\u2014With flags at half-mest and draped in mourning, with the closing of business houses, and with other demonstrations of sorrow.\" Wilmington, tg-day, committed to the grave the mortal remains of the Hon.Thomas Francis Bayard.A multitude of people early assembled at the quaint and historic old Swedes Church, where the body had been taken the night before, on its arrival from Dedham.\u2018 But the church was not thrown open, to the public, as it had been decided not to apen the casket and permit the people to view the remains.The hour of the funeral was two o\u2019clock, but before that hour'the little church was crowded with those for whom admission had been reserved.The honorary pall bearers were Former President Grover Cleveland, former Secretary of the Treasury Charles S.Fair- child, Messrs.Ebe\u2019 W.Tunnell, Governor of Delaware ;
