be in all grades of every school on the same footing as other subjects\u2014that is, that it be regularly taught and that successful examination in this be in every grade one of the conditions of promotion.A warm tri bute was paid to the gentlemen of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners of Montreal, many of whom were in active sympathy with the work of the union, and were at the present time doing their best to meet the wishes of the union in this matter.THE CANTEEN IN MILITARY CAMPS.The disregarding in our volunteer camps of the law against canteens came in for severe condemnation, while individual commanding officers received special gratitude for their personal efforts to carry out the law both in letter and in spirit.\u2018And is it not a shame,\u2019 exclaimed one woman indignantly, \u2018that cur Canadian voluteers returning from the prohibition army in South Africa should have to run the gauntlet of treating on their return 7 I'he Congregational Church was filled at the evening meeting, when short addresses were given by the county presidents.BROME UNDER LICENSE.Mrs.Foster, of Knowlton, expressed her deep sorrow at the failure of Brome county to prevent the repeal of the Scott Act.Since the repeal they found a vast difference for the worse.That the revenue is not materially increased you will see when 1 tell you that the license is now given for $5.Ladies used to be perfectly safe on the streets at any hour of the night ; now they are not.Men who sold liquor used to hide a drunken man for fear of the law.Now these were seen everywhere.One good thing has resulted, however.many the true value of the prohibitory law they have lately lost, and they had now good hope of being able to re-enforce it again in about three years.Brome county people still wished to be counted in the ranks of strong believers in prohibition.Mrs.Morison, of Chateauguay, rejoiced that at last Ormstown was a prohibition village.Liquor was still sold on the sly, but they hoped to stop that too Mrs.Sanderson interposed, and usually more so.Mrs.Ewing, of Richmond, assured them that the position of these two counties was much worse under license than under the Dunkin Act.They were con- gtantly being told that prohibition did not prohibit.the name of common sense Why were all the combined forces of the liquor powers of Canada now being fooused in these two counties to secure the repeal of pro- It has shown : Liquor was always eld on the sly, quite as much under license as under prohibition, If thet were so, then in Price ONE CENT.hibition in this last prohibition county of Quebec province ?Mrs.R.W.McLachlan, in the absence of Miss Dougall, reported for Hochelaga county, Mrs.Cowie for Missisquoi, Mrs.Mesdie for Argenteuil.Mrs.James Black for Ottawa, and Mrs.Geggie for and Wolfe, and Mrs.Ewing for Richmond and Drummond, and Mrs.William Miner for Shefford.PRESIDENT OF CAPE COLONY TITLE OF PLASTER CAST OF MR.KRUGER.(London \u2018Times.\u2019) A correspondent writing from Capetown says that among various interest- a ae elsewhere were included a plaster cast of Mr.Kruger inscribed \u2018President van Kaap Kolonie\u2019 (President of Cape Colony), and a map of Cape Colony with the proposed new republican administrative divisions marked on it.Another map, found in the post-office at Coles- | berg, had the words Vereenigd Zuid Af- rika (United South Africa) * stencilled right across it.Among the papers found at Bloemfontein, writes our correspon: dent, was a proclamation urging the Ba- sutos to rise against the British.The proclamation was not published, but the fact that it was actually printed shows how very near President Steyn\u2019s Government went to committing what in South Africa has always been considered crimes, the instigation of a native rising with all its attendant atrocities.NEW HOMES FOR BOERS Winnipeg, Man, Oct.4-\u2014A Grand Forks, N.D., despatch says : \"Within the the most unpardonable of all political ! wext four or five weeks between 200 and 300 Boers, forerunners of 2,000 or more Transvaalers, who, having been reduced to poverty by the war in South Africa, and have determined to cast their fortunes in the United States, will arrive in New York, whence they will proceed | | by way of Chicago and the Twin Cities !

notably, in the case of some tea warehousd, and upon which the Mer- cbants Bank had made advances.The tea upon which the advinces were made was of high quality grade, but this was afterwards removed and tea of very inferior grade substituted, and it was only when the firm failed, and the tea was seized by the iank, \u201chat the fraud was discovered.It will thus be ween that in lending money upon the security of warehouse reozip=s, the banks have been relying almost altogether upon the honor and stability of the borrowers.They have accepted as tre the statements of their customers that the goods were in the warehouses and were of a certain quality, and they seem to have taken no means to guard from eurrep- titious removal the property upon which the money of the bank was lent.It is evident that radical reforms are necessary as the loose way in which money has been advanced upon warehouse re- ipts during the past several years has n to put a premium upon commercial rascality., POLITICAL REVIEW.The political apathy of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec has not been permanently affected, so far as can be judged, by the tour of Sir Charles Tupper, Mr.G.E.Foster, Mr.Hugh John Macdonald and Mr.Whitney.The resulte of their addresses are not very noticeable, nor have they apparently increased the hopefulness of their followers.Sir Wilfrid Laurier's meetings in this province have been immense and enthusiastic, but even they seem to have left the public mind unexcited.The fact seems to be that the South African war has for the time exhausted public emotion, and the country is prosperous and progressing, and there is no serious apprehengion upon any political subject.Sir Charles Tupper\u2019e national cold stot- age policy has not apparently appealed very strongly to the farmers.Sir Charles\u2019s idea seems to have been that as it was hopeless for the Conservatives to make any appeal.to the manufacturers for support, they beving declared the present tariff eatisfactory, it might besa good time to win the agriculturists\u2019 65 the | Conservative cuss\u2019 hy \u2018pectin lasgd expenditures upod a eysteth of piwidiial cold storage end transportation: \"The manufacturers have had their encouragement at the bands of the state ; now the time has come for the encouragement of the farmers.But this new national policy does not seem to evole much enthusiasm.One trouble no doubt is that if large money is spent on cold storage it will be the farmers who will have to pay the bill, as they had to pay the bill for protection.The list of nominations is not a large one to-day, but a large number of conventions, both Conservative and Liberal, are on the point of being, held, and.at the present rate of progress it will not be long before the list of candidates is full.About two hundred amd thirty nominations have been made so far, without including a large number of members of the present parliament who will undoubtedly stand again, but have as yet received no formal nomination.The feature of yesterday's nominations was the call given by the Conservatives of St.John, N.B.(city), to the Hon.Mr.Geo.E.Foster, whose seat in York is endangered by the candidacy of the son of a local millionnaire.Both St.Jobn city and St.John county were carried : by the Liberals in the elections of 18968, the former by Mr, Ellis, and the latter b Mr.Tucker.; > : West Elgin has for twenty-eight years been represented by Mr.George E.Casey, a Liberal who hae taken a Leen intercet in civil service reform, and railway labor reform.Opposition within the Liberal party has arisen through the persistent candidature of Mr.MoGuigan.Beside Mr.Casey, Mr.McGuigan is comparative ly unknown, but his friends appear to have been :ula to mfluence the Liberal convention more largely in his favor than might have been Lhought possible.Now Mr.Casey writes that as the party seems divided into \u2018 Casey men\u2019 and \u2018 McGuigan men,\u2019 he will not continue his candidature.Somewhat pathelically, he thus addresses his opponent :\u2014* There are many tried and trusty Liberals, his friends and mine, who could, for the present, unite the party much more thoroughly than either of us.It coute me dear to thus give up ambitions which I have had the right to cherish.ever since I reached\u2019 manhood.\u2018new-sprimg \u201caspirstions ¥ Incidentily, Is it too much be Mr.Casey denies accepting any otfice ur der the crown.In Toronto a baze seems to hang over the scene, in which the chief figures appear but dimly, The latest information seems to indicate that matters may be smoothed over between Mr.Maclean and his non-adhesive adherents, and Mr.John Roes Robertson, the independent Conservative member, and proprietor of the \u2018Telegram,\u2019 may be induced to reconsider his desire for retirement in East Toronto.There also is talk of Mr.E.B.Osler coming out in West Toronto in the Conservative interest.Should this be so, the Liberals will have three strong opponents to meet.Ex-Alderman Wil llam Burns and Dr.James Spence are two strong Liberal candidates spoken of in the West Ward, while in the Centre the prospective aspirants are Mr.L.V.McBrady and Mr.Hartly Dewait.An interesting Montreal incident is the formation of a Liberal students\u2019 club, which was organized last might.The three universities of McGill, Bishop\u2019s and Laval are represented, and a strong executive board has been elected.The talk of an.early provincial general election still continues, though as far as can be learned without an atom of foundation in fact, Certainly, if there is anything in the rumor at all something definite will scon be learned, as the ques- tion\u2014if it be on the tapis at all\u2014must have come up for discussion at the Liberal caucus attended by federal and pro- vinciel ministers yesterday.That the federal elections cannot mow be very far off is emphasized by the fact that the premier, in the midst of a series of meetings in Quebec province, ir back in Ottawa to-day to attend a cabinet meeting.What will be the main subject matter for discussion at that meeting it is, of course, impossible to say, but at this juncture it is only reasonable to suppose that it will include a final decision es to the date of the general elections.= THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.The anthracite coal etrike is still a disturbing factor in the financial aitua- tion, and the bulls and bears of Wall street have alternately manipulated the market by means.of mmors o ng it.In America, ad in ad, the fiiation of the exportation of coal has been vigorously discuseed, and euch an alarm has been raised in some quarters thet many have been frightened into the belief that the world\u2019s supply of coal is in danger of being exhausted.China, Japan, Corea and Formosa, however, are full of coal; Australia and New Zea- land can increase their outputs indefinitely ; throughout its entire explored length the Andes range of mountains is coal-bearing ; in Peru and Chili, near the sea, there are seams of the finest coal known, of enormous extent, including true anthracite, with only one percent of ash, and there are large quantities of coal in Africa, Canada and India.Besides the kmown deposits of coal, there must be many yet to be discovered, and it is certain that the world\u2019s supply is practically inexhaustible.The exports of bituminous coal from Caneda in 1895 were 1,110,587 tons ; in 1896 they were 1,025,- 060 ; in 1897, 1,102,067 ; in 1898, 1,082,123, and last year they were 1,140,840 tons.A western trade paper has called renewed attention to the reprehensible practice of eome country merchants throughout the west of allowing drafts for amounts due jobbing houses which have metured to go back unpaid, to the injury of their own credit and the loss and annoyance of the jobbing houses concerned.[Eastern houses have been the principal sufferers from this breach of faith, amd in some cases they have withdrawn from the business altogether.The amount of the account is generally due when the bill is drawn by the wholesale house, and it is made for the convenience of the customer, to give him more time in which to pay for the goods! Further more, the wholesale man is usually willing to help his customer to meet his draft, if everything is deemed to be straight and above board, so that when a draft is returned through the bank unpaid, because of mere caprice or discourtesy, the retailer so acting has little regard for business honor or hie own true interests, The ehortage in the Japanese tea crop \u2018this weason is estimated by experts at 4, 400,000 pounds, and prices beve advanced already from three cents to five cents per pound, or from 10 to 25 percent.The first crop showed a shortage of 30,000 piculs, (a picul is 133%.pounds), and the second and third crops were also intyely cut off by lack of rains, making the total ehortage as stated.The annual statement of the Molsons Bank for the year ending Sept.30 was issued\u2019 yesterday.This is the first annual bank statement of the year in point of time, and the gratifying resulte it shows may be accepted as of good augury for a profitable year's business by the other banks.The net profits this year amount to $324,038, against $280,888 last year, and $259,177 in 1898, and the balance carried forward to profit and lose this year amounts to $26,992, compared with 315,909 last year.The regular dividend of eight percent per annum and a bonus of one percent has been paid, and the \u2018rest\u2019 has been increased to $2,050,- 000, or 82 percent of the capital stock of $2,500,000.Mr.R.B.Angus, a pillar of our financial institutions, has resigned from the board of directors of the Montreal Street Railway, and it is said that he vontem- plates retiring from the active manage ment of several large and important companies.lf he is curtailing hie business activities because of failing health regret and eympathy will be universal.It is not improbable, however, that Mr.Angus is seeking more leisure for those cui- tured pursuits which he is so well able to enjoy.The earnings of the Montreal Street Railway Company for the past year show another substantial increase, amounting to $111,572, which is equivalent to nearly two and a half million more fares than last year.The total earnings for 1809 were $1,646,647, and this year they were $1,762,220, or about seven percent increase.The C.P.R.statement for the six months ending June 30 wes issued this week, and may be considered a eatisimc- tory one.The gross earnings were $14, 167,797, the working expenses $8,889,851, and the net earnings $5,277,946.To the earnings are added $1,011,358 interest, including that on bonds of subsidiary lines, of which $638,846 wes re-payment of advances to the \u2018Soo\u2019 line.This makes a total of $6,280,305 more than the working expenses, from which is to be deducted fixed charges and preference stock divi dend, leaving $2,255,074 net earnings.The two gad « balf percent dividend.on, the | common: stock emounted - 40 $1,085,600; leaving $630,976 ¢o be chriled forward.Ât its present price of about 87, C.P.R.stock paye 5.74 percent.It pays five percent et par, and a few months ago was around that figure, but it is peculiarly susceptible to European influences, and the ehortage in the Manitoba wheat crop has had a bearish influence upon #.The situation in Manitoba gets worse instead of better, rain having fallen in some districts almost continuously since August, and a good deal of the crop that bes been cut will be abandoned, as the etooks have grown together, and will not pay for threshing.A former estimate of the crop was 15,000,000 bushels, but now it may be no more than 10,000,- 000 bushels, and much of it will be \u2018no grade.\u201d No.1 hard ie already at a pre- miwm, and few farmers can be induced to sell it.It may be doubted, however, whether this scarcity of grain will affect the C.P.R.very adversely.A few years ago Bir William Van Horne asserted thet grain could not be carried profitably from Fort William to St.John for Jess than 28 cents per 100 pounds.Since then, however, more powerful engines and trucks of much larger capacity have been built, the permanent way has been made more rigid with beavier rails, and the regular rate now from FortWilliam to St.John is 20 cents, and much has been carried as low as 163% cents per 100 pounds.It is claimed that the latter figure has never paid, and, in any came, the increase of mining and other industries which have sprung up in the west more than compensate the company for the decrease in the grain available for export this year.THE O'LEARY FUND.Quebec, Oct.5.\u2014At last night's meeting of the Father O'Leary testimonial fund committee, the proposition that the interest of the fund should be devoted to Father O'Leary's use during his lifetime and the capital, at his death, given to the Bi.Bridget\u2019s Asy- tum, Quebec, a deserving but struggling charity, of which his late father was one of the founders, was set aside, and it was decided to keep the movement free from all entanglements and to confine the fund wholly and solely to Fath- «r O'Laary, leaving ite ultimate disposal at his desth and discretion.The returns of the local collections showed about fifteen bundred dollars already realized for the fund, with a large number of reports still to come in, : - to his.own free will .Fripay, Ocroser 5, 1900.DISGUSTING SHOW.BULL BUTCHERY AT AN OPERA.Biarritz, Oct.4.\u2014It would be difr- cult for the force of realism in things theatrical to go further than ar a performance of \u2018Carmien,\u2019 which took place at Bayonne, near here.The opera was given in the bull ring itself, whic was crowded to the las: seat, quite te.thousand persons being present, ma.of whom had come fom Biarritz, fu, Sebastian, etc.A large stage had bux.erected at the side of the arena, aud on this the firat three acts were piayeu Mlle.Charlotte Wyns was the Car men, Senor Jeroma the Don Jose, Mme.Berges the Micaela and M.Joel Fabr.the Escamillo.The singers sang well, though they were at firet somewnat ds.concerted by performing in the open air and in brilliant sunshine.The excitement of the audiece became intense when the fourth act, the \u2018dou\u2019 of the whole performance, was resch- ed.The scenery on the stage represented the entrance to the bull nag, and as Carmen and her friends reached it the cuadrillo marchad into the arenas to the stirring strains of the \u2018Toreros\u2019 March\u2019 Then, when Escamilla left the stage, after taking farewell of Carmen, it was to take his place at the head of the cuadrillo to kill the bull Of course, when he appeared in the arena his place had been taken by Do mingum, & well-known bull fighter.If, however, Escamillo had shown as little skill as Domingum, there is little probability that he would have been the hero he was in Carmen\u2019s eyes, for the scene which \u2018followed was simply one of disgueting butchery.After the bull had disposed of the unfortunate horses of the picadores and had been tormented by banderillas, Do- mingum arrived to give the coup de grace.The spada was not, however, in good form, and time and again made unsuccessful thrusts.Finally the bull charged him, injuring him so that he had to retire, and Agujetas took his place, Agujetas was equelly unsucoæssful, making three futile \u2018hruets before the bull fell exhausted on its knees.Then Domingum, amid hooting and hissing, reappeared with a bandaged hand, and the struggle recommenced.Finally, the bull, which had risen, fell on its side, and then received a fatal thrust.This disgraceful scene had lasted hrepquarters of oo hour, and most of people left the building in disgust.Another :hyll- was.killed, zhusit in' the the audience.prevented a third being brought in.Then the performance of \u2018Carmen\u2019 was resumed where it had been left off, and brought to à conclusion.Bayonne, where this ultra realistic performance of \u2018Carmen\u2019 was given, lies at the foot of the Pyrenees, close to the Spanish frontier, and within easy reach of Biarritz, which is just now at the height of its autumn season.San Sebastian, just over the border, is a fashionable Spanish seaside resort.| some: faghion, : and only the protests of LADY ANTIQUARIES, ENCOURAGING REPORTS READ AT YESTERDAY'S MEETING.The annual meeting of the Woman's Branch of the Antiquaman Society was held in the Chateau de Ramezay yes terday afternoon, Ome or the

the past year.Two of the rooms in the Chateau hdd been put in order.Contributions of suitable furniture and historical relics would be much appreciated, and any articles loaned would receive careful attention.It was hoped to furnish these rooms as committee rooms, and to form literary circles for the study of Canadian history.The preservation of the Chà- teau, and the purpose for which it was preserved, were to be kept in mind.irty-eight new members had joined the society, ing a total of -aimos: four hundred members.The treasurer\u2019s report showed a balance of $317.83 at the bank: There were still some accounts for repairs to be paid, but these would be more than covered by membership fees due.The amount realized fromthe sale of cato- logues, had been about $168, as against $48 last year.On motion of Miss Campbell, seconded by Mrs.Hart, a vote of thanks for past services was tendered to Mrs.Ferguson, who had resigned as president of the tea committee.The other committees for the present remain as before.After the business routine, tea was served in an adjoining room.Among the sentatives of the society - sent were noticed: Mme, de B.Macdonald, président; Lady Lacoste, Mme.Roy,

itching, burning skin.cal refrigeration, or our farmers will be driven to the wall,\u2019 is Sir Charles\u2019s cry.The minor premise is, the Conservative party binds iteelf to provide a national cold storage system.The conclusion is obvious : \u2018Farmer, return a Conservative member, or go to the wall\u2019 There are other points in Sir Charles's lengthy es say.Historically, he writes, the last Conservative Government had planned for a perfect cold storage system.The execution of the plan was interrupted by the fall of the Conservative ministry, and the @ucceeding government, with their characteristic blindness to the needs of the country, provided only a lukewarm Liberal cold storage.It still remains for Sir Charles Tupper, scorning half-way measures, to give the Canadian farmer the real chill.While the department store issue is seriously raised in this state, it would be unseemly to poke fun at Sir Charles and his cold storage plank.It will be felt, however, that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is eardly to be thus circumvented.Sir Charles dangles cold storage before the farmers.Sir Wilfrid has only to promise \u2018something equally as good\u2019 Two can play at the game of bidding for the farmer vote.NOMINATIONS TO DATE.St.John, N.B.\u2014The Conservatives have nominated the Hon.George E.Fos ter for St.John city.St.John county, N.B.\u2014The Conservative nominee is the Hon.Dr.Stockton.Kingston\u2014The Liberal candidate im this divigion will be Mr.B.M.Britton, QC, MP.VOTERS\u2019 LISTS COME HIGH.Toronto, Oct.5.\u2014The People\u2019s party held a meeting last night.The sæcre- tary announced that he had made application to the superintendent of the Printing Bureau at Ottawa for copies of the Toronto voters\u2019 lists, and hed received one copy, with the added infor mation that he could have all he wanted at eight dollars each.This, as the secretary explained, meant that if they wanted twenty copies in order to place themselves on the same basis as the old line parties they would have to pay $160.MILLS ON PARLIAMENTARY CUSTOM.The Hon.David Mills, who wae written to as Minister of Justice by the leaders of the People\u2019s party in Toronto for a statement as to the legality of extracting a signed pledge from their candidates, in his Teply says : I have your letter in which you quote a declaration of the People's Party.which their candidate is called upon to sign.In reply to your communication, I beg to say that I am not aware that there is anything illegal in signing such an enunciation, although the principle it affirms is greatly at variance with the principle of parliamentary govarnment.I think it would be greatly to the advantage of this country that the spirit and principles of the Rng- lish parliamentary systam should he adhered \u2018to.I am perfectly sure that the moral stamina af the electorg of D &7 wéuid \"bé\" etredétrabes da ta oun of government would-be pars if this were done.No man can -be à pere icstrument \u2018in the hands of any body o men without destroying a proper sense of respcrasibility, and if he be a man of moral courage ha wiss occasionally come to where the roads part, and where he must choose between, disregarding the improper engagement into which he has entered or disregarding what he feels to be his duty to the country.\u2019 He concludes: \u2018I have gone further than your inquiry called fo:, but we have had of late years a number of new parties coming into existence whose principles are at variance with our system of government.The Patrons of Industry adopted a platform well erovgh suited to the constitutional system of the United States, but it was wholly at variarce with the English constitutional system, and all party platforms that criginaie In the same way are not free from danger.They become disturbing forces which for the time being prevent a fair expression of public opinion upon those questions which emanate from the lite of the state, and with which it is the special duty of parliament to deal.\u2019 _\u2014 HOCHELAGA DISTRICT.WESTMOUNT COUNCIL ASKS FOR INCREASED PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION.Following is the text of the resolution passed at the meeting of the Westmount Council on Monday, Oct.1, in reference to the representation of the Hochelaga district in the Dominion Parliament and Provincial Legislature : That, in the opinion of this council, the provincial electoral district of Hochelaga, in which Westmount is situated, and which comprises the parishes of Longue Pointe, Pointe aux Tremble, Riviere des Prairies, Sault aux Recollets, Cote St.Paul, cities of St.Henr!

tendering differed widely in their figures for earth and rock excavations.Engineer Howard had furnished estimates as to the relative quantities of these to be excavated and the contract was given to the tenderer whose figures made the lowest total cost.This happened to be T.Charpentier, but now it turns out that the estimates were mot correct, that there was much less rock than was estimated and that the figures of another firm, Messrs.Keegan & Heffernan, would have made the cost some two thousand dollars Jess.Ald.Martineau severely criticised the engineer for the nature of his report.Mr.Howard, the engineer, explained that without borings it was not poe sible to give accurate figures.Ald.Gallery wanted to know why this was not done and Mr.St.George, city surveyor, replied that there was no money to do it with, but this did not seem to satisfy the chairman.Ald.Gallery maintained that the committee should re-award the contract to the lowest tenderer, but the chairman, AM.Martineau, held that such a course should be left to the council, as it would not be right to change tenders aîter they had been opened and the contract awarded.Ald.Gallery moved to have proper tests of the ground taken and the contract re-awardad, but his motion was voted down.Ald.Martineau said he was prepared to go to the council with the contract, and Ald.Gallery said that if he did it would come back.COOKE\u2019S CHURCH, TORONTO.Toronto, Oct.5\u2014The Rev.T.R.Bal- lantyne, of Willowfield, Belfast, Jre land, will receive a call to Cooke's Church to fill the vacancy caused by the

A NATIONAL HOME- READING UNION, AN ASSOCIATION FOR HELPING THOSE WHO WOULD HELP THEMSELVES.The N.H.R.U.is a purely philanthropic organization for the purpose of developing a taste for systematic reading among ali classes of the community.With this end In view, courses of reading have been arranged to suit the needs of studeifis, general readers, and young people of poth sexes.These courses are supplemented by 8 monthly magazine and book lsts drawn up by some of the best read men in England.The fees, including magazines, are moderate.Special section, $1; general, 60 cents; and young people's, 40 cents, being 10 cents less In all sections for members of circles.THese circles, which are highly recommended, are simply reading-clubs of not less than five people, one acting as leader, with whom the Canadian secretary corresponds.In these circles, books, .or parts of them, may be read at home and then discussed at weekly or fortnightly meetings, or may be read aloud and form part of a social evening's entertalnment.Papers, or discussions, or the criticisms and analysis from the magazine may vary the programme.Members may buy their books where they please, but, by ordering them through the secretary, they get a reduction and also help the union.Societies such as the Y.M.C.A.or Y.W.C.A.can or- tant of a town might furnish these for a circle, and after the year's reading was complete, they might be presented to the public library, or go to form the beginnings of a library where one does not al: ready exist.To start branches in a town, public or drawing-room meetings are called, clergymen are requested to interest their congregations, and readers are asked to start circles.Notices in the papers also help to attract the attention of those.who might otherwise not know of these courses to whom they would offer endless pleasure and profit.No one can be a constant reader of good books without becoming better and more tolerant.The reading of good books 1s made easy by the plan adopted by the union.If a boy or girl realis good books, they will not have time for the fad.If men and women have the life-giving food of à good book at hand, they need not pick up the trash that is so prevalent and dissipate their moral and mental power on viei- ous froth.The union makes the supply.of good reading regular and acts as a guide and friendly critic throughout.the course Readers of good books make good men and women, and good men and women make good citizens.Canada needs these men and women now, our oities need them, our prairies and mountains, mines and farms need them.The National Home Reading Union is certainly a step in the right direction for the national mental uplifting of oùr people, and for the promotion of 'a m delighttul kind of education for young and old, rich and poor.For forms of 15- ehtion for membership, subject lists full information, apply to the secretary, Mrs.as far as possible to the reforms requires.Anson McKim, 37 Macgregor sirest,

night in Fairmouut School Hall, and Mr.P.L.Berubé acted as secretary.The secretary read the contract as drawn up between the Montreal Water and Power Company and the corporation, which is -meeling with opposition from Mr.Beau- bien and othar proprietors in the town of St.Louis.After some discussion, Mr.Robert Ne- ville, jr., moved, seconded by Mr.J.Hil- dreth, \u2018That the Citizens\u2019 Association is of opinion that under tha circumstances, Mr.Beaubien Is justified tn taking a writ of irjunction to prevent the council from giving effact to the contract with the Water snd Powar Company.\u2019 In the discussion which took place on the motion, it wis stated that the corporation should not accept $63,000 in settlement of the claim against the Water and Power Co.when the engineer, Mr.J.E.Vanier, had declared that he was prepared to go into the witness box and swear that the value of the work done since 1895 was $83,000; which now amounted to $95,000 at least with the interest due under the terms of the existing contract.If the company offered $63,000 in cash, it wouid be an inducement to make a sacrifice to settle the dispute; but they offer only notes at five, ten, fifteen and twenty years, without Interest for the first five years.This offer reduced to a cash transaction, supposing the security is first class, would only rep- regent $50,000, or at most, $61,000.As regards tha security, the town now held its own pipes as security, which property would be transferrea to the Water and Power Company under the proposed new arrangement.The only advantage offered the town would be the getting rid of the ten percent bonus payable on plpes laid by the company jn streets which did not yield a reveuud.The onl ysecurity the town |\u201d inves would™ be -£10,000 sterling.of FREE T0 SUFFERERS \u2014FROM\u2014 HIONEY DISEASES.A Full Regular Sized Box of Boan\u2019s Kidney Pills.We have made special arrangements so that every reader of this paper, be he

y CITY COUNCIL, AN.EFFORT TO REDUCE THE CORPORATION BOOKKEEPING TO A SYSTEM\u2014THE LAUNDRY TAX.There was a special meeting of the City Council held last evening, most of the time being devoted to the dis cussion of two by-laws, one defining the duties of the city comptroller, the other regulating the removal of dead animals from the city.Both of these bylaws are largely technical in character, that conserning the city comptroller specifying what books he should keep, whet sudits he should make, how his checkings should be recorded, etc.The ides is to systematize the oorporation bookkeeping, and to reduce the risks of irregularities, as far as possible.The question of the proposed reduce tion of the laundry tax was also dis cussed.Tt has been proposed, it will be remembered, to reduce the laundry tax from $50 to $25.The reason of this rripoimd reduction is that it would pay the sity- bettèr-to get the 323 than not to gut the $50.° This year the latndry licenses brought ia $1,200, but most of the Chinamen refused to pay, and went to jail, where they boarded at the city\u2019s expense to the extent of $1,050, according to Ald.Laporte.The balance was eaten up in law costs, ete.For this reason Ald.Laporte said, he favore! the reduction of the tax; also a large number of citizens had petitioned for it.It was to be expected that the smaller tax would be more remunerative to the city, as well as more just to the Chinamen.The same question came up early th's yea?, when the council refused to reduce the tax, but a change has taken place since then, and it is hoped now that something wil.be done The watter was deferred for the present, pending a comparison of two reports on the same subject, a AN ELECTION OUTRAGE.SENATOR HANNA'S NARROW ESCAPE.\u2014 Chicago,

sympathies which you have always bestowed upon me.\u2018I have constantly endeavored to dis charge with scrupulous correctness the trust which I held from you, for I never understood that the pledge given to a community was less binding on cen- science and honor than a promise made to a private individual.\u2018Rest assured, my dear and faithful friends, that if I failed in anything in the discharge of my duty, i was not willingly.It has always been my desire to serve my country to the full extent of my capacity.\u2018One of my regrets is to leave the arena at the moment when the Federal contest is beginning.It would have been my desire to furnish my humble support to my friend, Sir Wilfrid Laurier.I have, however, the evnsolation of knowing that the old Liberal flag will continue to float over the whole district of Iber- ville.+ a Yous clé .ENTIRE eng AL ae Ted SN HON.GEORGE CAMPBELL - DEATH OF A FORMER CANADIAN IN COHOES, N.Y.\u2014 Cornwall, Oct.4.\u2014The

of St.Lambert have petitioned the different ernments to build a protec tion wall along the south shore of the river in front of the town to guard the bank from the ravages of ice jams in the spring and the encroachment of the waves in times of storm.Until recently no action was taken in the matter, but as a result of the visit of a deputation to Ottawa, consisting of Messrs.L.P.Brodeur, V.Geoflrion, M.P., Mayor Wickham, and Dr.E.Mer- rill-Desaulniers, the sum of $16,000 was voted for the purpose, and the work was commenced yesterday morning, under the direction of Mr.Michaud, government engineer, who arrived for the inaugurating the important undertaking.The plans, which were drawn up by Mr.Fraser, of the department of public works, show that the intention is to construct the wall of timber cribwork filled with stone and faced with heavy planking.It will have a slanting front and is expected to be able to resist the strongest pressure that will ever put it to the test.At the suggestion of Mr.Geoffrion, member for the constituency of _ Chambly-Verchéres, a committee of citizens of St.Lambert has been appointed to act in conjunction with the government engineer, and see that the work is done satisfactorily.At a public meeting held at St.Lambert recently, the following gentlemen yore appointed on this committee:\u2014Dr.Merrill- ulniers, president; C.A.Stevens, secretary; Mayor Wickham, Messrs.Arthur Patenaud, Joseph Trudeau, J.D.Crevier, H.Rosevear, and Walter Andrews.Amongst those seeking employment, workmen residing in the county or from Montreal, will be given the preference.Already a large staff of men are employed.mes INQUEST ON ST.PIERRE.The inquest on the death of Isidore St.Pierre, the G.T.R.gateman, who died from being run over by a train at the Richmond street crossing, was concluded yesterday.The jury met at two p.m, and after a six-hours\u2019 sitting, during which a large number of witnesses were examined, brought in the verdict, \u2018That Isidore St.Pierre was killed by either the Canada Atlantic or the Portland train, but we consider the engineers of the trains excused from blame.The accident appears to us to be due to the fact that the Grand Trunk road at that place is in a bad condition, that the work to St.Pierre was more than a man could do under the circumstances, and that the light there is insufficient.\u2019 MR.MARCHAND\u2019S FUNERAL: Mr.Gabriel Marchand, son of the lats- Premier, explains in the \u2018Cenad J is\u2019 the h on .1 ES racer the oor the cemetdry of Bt.Johms, still

but it is well that the joke didn\u2019t lest too long.At times the shelling was very severe, and buglers were constantly on duty to give warning when the big siege guns of the Boers were fired.If the bugler got \u2018his little tune off smart, there were about fifteen eeconds in which to dodge under a wall ar rush into your fort.Men took this inconvenience in different ways.One nervous men was.ae tually seen to put up an umbrella whën the bugler sounded the warning of a coming shell, while, when another exploded within a few yards of an Irish policeman, the only notice he took of it was to remark: \u2018What will they be playin\u2019 at next?I had a shell-proof fort constracted under my house; and my servants were tk: feb al f ew cky.John, our Zulu, preferred to get behind the big water-tank.I don\u2019t think that would bave saved him, but he was happy there; so that was all right.He was very funny.Ome day we heard Lizzie lecturing him about something, and he retorted: \u2018Don\u2019t make such à noise! I can\u2019t hear the gun go off.The boom of that gun would have ex- tingmehed a megaphone, NINETY-ONE YEARS AFTER.On June 14, 1809, the fourth son of the fourth Earl of Albemarle was born Three weeks later he oecupied his coffin, the back garden being the spot chosen for the contemplated interment, as he was not considered entitled to a grave in consecrated ground.But the old nurse, fancying there was life in the \u2018small thing\u2019 after all, rescued him from premature burial just as funeral pro-: ceedings had reached the #inal screwing- \u2014 \u2014 Constipated Bowels Give Bige to Byvpeysta \u2018end other Bodily \u2026.Merangemenss-Br.Chase's Kidney- Lives.Pills: ave \u201cUnique -\u2014s.the Onjy Treatment Which Permanently Cures Consumption.'

He saved for His name's sake, bo make known His mighty power (Ps.cvi., 8), that men might praise Him for His wondrous works.To glo rify His name is to praise Him by thanks giving and telling of His doings.\u2014\u2014 A man lived in a lighthouse, and his little daughter was sick and ill.One day when he was going on shore, she asked him to bring her some wallflowers.The father promised her he would, but he was sorry for it afterwards.He tried at all the florists\u2019, gardeners\u2019, and other places th procure some, but was told by all that it was not the right\" time of year for them.With a sad heart he went back to the lighthouse with a big packet of seeds, but no flowers.Almost the first words his darling girl said to him were, \u2018Papa, have you got the wallflowers?\u201d He pretended not to hear her, and left the room; and as on each oceasion when the same ques tion was asked he returned no answer, his sick child turned her head to the wall in a pet.She said: \u2018Papa always forgets me.Papa never gives me what I want.Papa does not care for.me.Papa cannot love me.I will not ask him for anything else.\u201d Some time after the father said to his daughter, \u2018I want to wheel you about a little today, deer,\u2019 2 Her in s bath- hr ight densi | M ~ \u2018to \u201coy \u201clighttothhd against.1 a wall rere.growing 2 quantity \u201cot lovely - \u2018There, my deas,\u2019 he maid; \u2018the oe yo asked me to bring you flowers from the town.I could not procure any; but I bought some weeds, and the seeds have grown into those beautiful flowers.Are they not lovely?\u201d Then the girl burst into tears, and told her father how unkind she had been to say that he did not care for her, that he did not love her or give ber anything.But he soon kissed the tears away, and told her of the heavenly Father who made the flowers, and the unkindness of his children who did not trust him et all times, but who thought him cruel, careless, unloving and indifferent to their wants and requirements, while all the time he was doing all things well that he might at the right moment give them exceeding sbundantly above all that they ask or think, ~ ADVERTISEMENTS.MODERN SCIENCE TRUMPHS OVER CANCER A New Constitutional Remedy that Eradicates :the Disease Completely from the System.A few years ago consumption was thought | FC to be an absolutely incurable dixense.Modern Science has step in and transferred the \u2018white plague of the .north\u2019 to the column of curable diseases.Now the swift.\u2018march of science has overtaken cancer and placed it, too, on the list of curable dis- cases.The old and agonizing mothods of treatment by the knife, paste\u2019 or plaster have heen superseded by our constitutional remedy, which completely uproots the disease from the system and leaves not & vestige behind to again cause trouble, Our y, though powerful to remove every < tease of cancer poison from the system is.pleasant to take and harmless to the most delicate constitution.Full particulars, a our new book, \u2018Cancer, its Cause and Curse,\u2019 sent to any one on recsipt cf two Address STOTT & JURY, a _Atamps.\u2018manville, Ont.ft Is Incomparable In ItS| rudes.effects.+ Morin's Wine \u2018CRESO-PHATES\u2019 acts wonderfully well in the moit stubborn sages of bronchitis, cough, celd, whooping ough, asthma, grippe.Stationery, &o.Manufacturing JscHooL L BOOKS.a Hue ine of Sikes J | FOR TKS HIGHER.BOTOATION or | | Mees SETTER AL Fa ha 1 TXM MIS, NOBLE &£ CO, !
