but it will be remembered that Great Britain joined The Hague conference -only on condition that the Boer states were excluded.There is no doubt that Mr.Kruger, who is a serious statesman, came to urope to obtain the good offices of several of the powers to end the war; but there is also no doubt that Great Britain does not want their good offices.At least it is true that since the South African war began Great Britain has never, either verbally or in writing, confidential: ly or officially, broached such an idea.It is quite possible that the Boer side has now formally asked The Hague arbitration court to lend its aid to end the war somehow, and that the court has held a session regarding the matter; but that, of course, is entirely different from any serious steps to end the war.\u2019 KRUGER AND LEYDS AT THE HAGUE.The*Hague, June 10.\u2014Mr.Kruger and Dr.Leyds arrived bere to-day.They.drove from the railway station at Hilver-.sum Junction;

\u2018tariff,\u2019 end-was not discussing questions cons\u2019 nected with i.The chief matter: of political interest at present.before tha.edly that of \u2018insular territorial ezpan- sion\u2019 and the character of relations between the United States and its new \u2018de\u2019 pendencies.Thisis not e straight is sue between the two parties as there is) \u2018a.considerable minority of the Republican party opposed to expansion, and] even & larger minority of the Democra- tie partyin favor of dt.But the Re} publican administration and the chief\u2019 leaders of the National Republican party in Congress have committed the party to.the policy oË \u201cexpansion, and Mr.Bryan, the only, or at least, most prominent, \u2018national Democratic leader in sighit, has committed the Democratic\u2019 party \u2018as strongly against it, end the campaigns, both congressional and presidential, for the next four years will be But the Republican party will find that the question of protection is involved in that of expansion.of the United States into.a world power, and cannot be separated from it.Just at the time the United Shates as an incident of a war with a European power has establighed an em: pire in.Asia, an extraordinary expai- | sion has taken place dn its foreign trade and commerce.It is now second only to Great Britain and has every prospect of soon gaining the first place in thé race.The pride a well as profit of such a position appeals strongly, to the American people and now the attention of their business men is directed rather towards the acquirement of for: eign markets than, as hitherto, to the retention of their own domestic markets, which they now feel confident of holding against all the world.It is not improbable that much of the popular support given to the territorial | expansion policy.of the McKinley administration was.in consequence of the opinion which\" prevails throughout the world that foreign commerce is somehow bound up with colonies abroad.Colonies seem & guarantee against national protectionism.Anyway, Great Brita, which has so long.almost monopolized the foreign trade and commerce of the \u201cworld, established great colonies and dependencies, and therefore it seems to the nations that colonies and foreign commerce are bound up together, inseparably, in one policy.The United States is net only establishing dependen-\u2019 cies, but is.also joining with Great Bri- ago thé most inflential of the leagsily DAILY WITNESS.tain in its demand for an open door to \u2018commerce to the populous countries of Asia.Its business men, who are more awake than the politicians to the new needs of the country, are going further still, and are demanding reciprocity with European nations.This is all the more significant, in view of the agitation now being started among European nations under the high auspices of chancellors of empires for a protective union against United States trade and cour merce.At the convention of the Manufacturers\u2019 Association, held in Detroit last week, the president of the association devoted his speech to a | plea for international reciprocity.The response of the manufacturers has amazed: the publicists and politicians of the \"United States.These: manufacturers, \u2018representing nearly all branches of indus- stry, were almost unanimously in favor of tariff reform and reciprocity.They, declare that extreme protection is no longer of any use to them, but, on the contrary, is a-hindrance.It is little wonder the journalists of the United States are: somewhat\u2019 astonished, as\u2019 it.would inited.States manufacturers e\u2018évé of.becomirg free traders: \" The opinions expressed at the meeting are \u2018thus summarized by a despatch writer: .A Michigan manufacturer of farming tools \u2018would not ask for protection, as he did not need it.\u201d : A New York manufacturer of alr-com- pressors' and mining machinery \u2018would prefer no tariff at-all to a high tariff,\u201d and he \u2018wanted to know if anybody c8uld furnish a reason fur the retention of a protective duty,\u2018 when the article on which that duty is.placed can be produced as: cheaply in the United States as in other countries.\u2019 .: A Detroit man sald that \u2018in the copper business mo protection was necessary.\u2019 An Ohio leather manufacturer urged that \u2018the tariff should be revised.He would not say that we should be \u201ca free trade nation,\u201d but the Dingley law must be modi- fled.His only objection to reciprocity was that It \u2018was too slow to suit the manufacturers.\u2019 A New Hampshire manufacturer of whet.\u2018stones \u2018sends one-half to.two-thirds of his product abroad, and thought his business | would be doubled under free trade.\u2019 The representative of an Indiana eccm-.pany which does a great business in manufacturing waggons said that \u2018his firm' gave \u2018nos attention to the tariff.It was of no denefit in the firm's business.The firm could compete with the wbole world, an asked no favors from any one.\u2019 - \u2018Several leather manufacturers declared that \u2018they were selling their products in all \u2018arts of the world.Protection was of no o to them.Americans would never buy sdoreign shoes, and there was no danger of\u2019 côrapetition in the domestic markets.All \u2018were bitterly opposed to the duty of fifteen are on th \u201cpercent on hldes.\u2019 Au export sales agent for fifty-four lines fot American manufactured goods declared that.\u2018In his opinion, nire-tenths of \u2018the \u201cmanufacturers in the United States did not \u2018require a tarif I : \u2018One.manufacturer made a very stroifg Dlés for reciprocity, in the course of which he said: .He liad been a protectionist all his ie, but he wanted to know if Americans expected to go on exporting each -year one thousand millon dollars\u2019 worth cf goods more than they receive.We now had a warning in Russie.All the world would combine against the United States if we do not take heed.The farmers, if they found T to them, woyld make themselves.heard at the next election.It was à \u2018Pharisaical and dishonest\u2019 policy to ask Europe to buy | of us when we.would not buy of her.Am-| ericans wanted an open door in China, and all over the world.They must, then, keep their own door open.These are reports of a meeting recording quotations from\u2019 speeches made by representative manufacturers at an ordinary -gession of their own association; it was simply the-president\u2019s opening address on reciprocity which led to this general expression of the changed views of United States manufacturers.The American manufacturers, it will be noticed, fear \u2018retaliation\u2019 if the United States protective tariff is maintained.It is reported that these: pleas and declarations for reciprocity \u2018were greeted with general applause all over the hall\u2019 It seems pro: bable, therefore, that the Republican party will have to give some attention to \u201cprotection,\u201d \u2018and \u2018that it may be compelled to adopt a measure of reciprocity: as a part of its expansionist policy.SUCCESSFUL FIELD DAY Natural History Society at Lake Bonnalie.JUDGE FOSTER ENTERTAINS\u2014THE WEATHER WAS FAIR.\u2014 It is not often that the annual field day of ithe Natural History Society of Montreal is mdrred by unfavorable weather, but there seemed to be so likely a chance of this occurring on Saturday that many stayed away from the excursion who doubtless would otherwise have joined it.Notwithstanding this, hom- ever, two \u2018hundred and fifty people or more boarded the society's special train at tthe Windsor street station on Saturday morning in order to visit Lake Bonnalie, which was the spot chosen by the society's committee this year asa suitable place for.the picnic.Probably but few of the party bad heard of Lake Bonnalie before and fewer still knew \u2018precisely where it was.Situated on the confines of three counties, Brome, Shef- ford and Sherbrooke, in ithe midst of wooded and wild country, inhabited by scarcely any one save a few lumbermen, Lake Bonnalie forms.one of a- chain of five lakes, which feed each other and extend for some twenty-five miles, the last link in the chain, Lake Brompton, emp- - tying«into the River SHt.Francis.Lake Bounalie is situated to the north of foreign: markets for their products closed | was visited by the society last year.It is just off the line of the Orford Moun: tain Railway and is a few miles from the little village of Eastman.The train pulled out at precisely 8.30 and made pleasant and easy running over the Lachine Bridge and through the country of St.Johns, Farnham and Foster.At last Eastman was reached, where the C.P.R.was left and the {rain passing on to the Orford Mountain Railway ran into and through Eastman village and then started to climb into dhe mountain region.The open districts around D Were soon left behind end the train commenced dimbing into a thickly-wooded and | mountainous region.The region was not.though, a rocky one, the track being on a direct level prith the woods.No signs of any lake could be seen, but the very appearance of the woods show- \u201ced that at any rate there was plenty of work for the botanists, entomologists, and others of the party.At length a turn in the track revealed the silvery surface of the lake embowered in lofty wooded heights, with the roof of Wa- nakhe Wigwam showing above the trees from an island some way from the shore.The train pulled up not far from the lakeside and by the side of the Chateau de Foster, where the party was welcomed by the Hon.Samuel W.Foster, bet- | ter known.in the surrounding country \u2018as Judge Fostér.No.time was loat, on gettin; \u2018as to what to do.There was a steam launch and ! severe] snota oy the lake placed at the disposal e party by the judge, who also gave the use of the chateau for those who desired to cook any fish they caught, make tea, or take shelter in should occasion arise, and so forth, \"The Main threatened and ev- éry now again some slight showers fell, but mot to the extent of keeping the members of the panty from expior- ing the neighborhood.Several went across and visited Wanakha Wigwam, where they were received by Mrs.Fos ter, while others.searched for specie mens, all this being done after lunch had been disposed of.The few hours passed away rapidly.A few of the male members of the panty assayed working a hand-trolley on the railway track, but it was found rather stiff exercise on\u2019 an up-grade.Others \u2018wandered, but not too.far, into the woods and gathered flowers and ferns, it might be sasd by the thousand, for the woods were peculiarly rich in these.As to fishing in the lake, # must be owned that no very large catches were visible, although some might have been reponed.Towards four o'clock every one began to make their way back to the chateau for on these occasions, though most would probably deny it, there 3 always more or less of à feeling, common to all, of the possibility of being left behind.Just previous to leaving Judge Foster was addressed by the Rey.Dr.Robert Campbell, as one of the oldest members of the sodiety present, thanking him on behalf of the members and othérs pres ent.for his kindness and hospitality.Three hearty cheers and a tiger were then given for the judge and, just at this moment as a rush was being made for ithe cars, down came the rain in the heaviest shower of the dex.It mattered brut Little, however, for the panty was on the home run, which proved to be every 1 whit as enjoyable as the run out of the morning had been.Judge Foster bade the party farewell on arrival at Foster, expressing his hope that they mould come out again.res Through the courtesy of Sir William Van Horne afternoon tea was served on the train, an attention which was highly apprecie: by every one.Sn tthe course of the run thé foliow- ing awards were annou: \u2014 Botany \u2014 Miss Ella Scott, Milton, Hodhelagn, 33 named specimens; Mr.Ww.G.Naughton, Tara Hall avenue, Montreal, 45 unnamed specimens.Entomology\u2014Mr.A.F.Winn, Bruce avenue, esvmount, 41 named specimens, There being no one on board the train to judge the geological collections the awards will be made known later.ANOTHER DRINK TRAGEDY.MAN MURDERS HIS MOTHER-IN- LAW, THEN TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.-\u2014 Arva, Ont., June 10.\u2014The last act in a terrible tragedy was performed on Saturday evening, when Robert Fulford, a Chicago contractor, killed his mother-in- law, Mrs.Robert McCord, and then emptied three shots into his mouth.1'ui- ford married Gertie McCord, his cousin, seven years ago, in Chicago, after securing a divorce from his first wife.Their domestic life was always unpleasant, and twice Mrs.Fulford was forced to leave him owing to his cruelty, the lust time only a few weeks ago, when she returned to her home, but for safety was sent to friends in St.Mary\u2019s.Fulford arrived here on Saturday and immediately started to hunt up his wife.He approached Mrs.McCord, who was milking, shook hands with her in a friendly, way, and asked for his wife.Mrs.Mec- Cord told him she was not in Exeter their former home.He then produced two revolvers, one in each hand, and presenting them at the woman, demanded to know where his wife was.Mrs, Mc- Cord stood up, saying, \u201cThere is no use in that,\u201d whereupon he commenced firing with the revolver in the left hand.He emptied four cylinders, one ball piercing the skull about three inches above the left ear, another in the region of the apex of the heart, and two in the left thigh, about two inches apart.She fell at his feet.Then putting the rcvolver which he held in the right band into his mouth, emptied three cylinders\u2014at least there were three empty when cxamined.Mr.McCord came rushing with a stone to knock him down, when he fell at the feet of the dying woman and died instantly.Tender hands carried the mother to the house, but she only breathed a very short time.Two of the girls and a brother were close beside her milking when the shooting took place.Another daughter, who stood on the verandah, heard -and saw everything.Fulford, who is about 40 vears old, and whose Chicago address is 359 Munroe avenue, was a contractor and builder.Mount Orford, which beautiful mountain The body.of Fulford was Jeft in charge g off the cafs, in determining { Moxpar, Juve 10, 1901, of

London, June 8.\u2014If Lord Salisbury js capable of pride in any public act of hig he must see in this all-pervading glow of Anglo-Americanism a splendid vindication of the root principle of his diplom- bacy, since he gave a friendly counter check to President Cleveland.The man in the street accepts it as a perfectly natural thing that an American horse should take its turn in winning races traditionally consecrated to the English populace, for the American is becoming as much one of the family as, say, an Irishman or a Canadian.As for Mr, Carnegie\u2019s trust, to-day\u2019s particulars quite smooth away the criticisms which assailed the early forecasts.Sandy no longer looks suspiciously at Mr.Carnegie\u2019s sixpence, as the cartoonist portrayed him, asking as he bit it, \u201cI wonder if it's guid He is, this morning, well satisfied, while the Englishman is enviously eager for.some expat- \u2018riated English millionaire to bestow a like boon upon the equally stricken Eng lish education.Mr.Carnegie has completely met the early indictment of his scheme on the ground of its pauperizing effect by setting apart half the money -for the improvement and expansion of Scottish university teaching, leaving the other half for aid to qualified and de serving students.\u201d This exactly meets Scotland's gteatest need, for the\" Scottin universities Yong have been degenerating into no more than secondary schools in a none too successful competition with the secondary schools of the state sys tem.Thus the universities were being left without a true function unless their faculties could be developed on a wider, more modern, and more vari== basis of instruction.In fact, in the words of Dr.William \u2018Wallace, teaching in \u2018the Scottish universities had come to mean skeleton faculties, supported by skeleton revenues.Mr.Carnegie\u2019s gift, in the hands of trustees of such high national repute as Lords Elgin, Rosebery, Kelvin, and Kin- near, and Messrs.Balfour, Bryce, and Morley, must change all this.Even the \u2018Times\u2019 this morning turns its former moaning to -paeans of praise.It sees Scotland lifted to the highest level of academic importance ; its universities enabled to equip expeditions to inquire into the life histories of fever-carrying mosquitoes, and so on, and to undertake the investigation of problems in organic and inorganic chemistry of the highest national industrial importance.It even sees in the scheme assurance that no possible Scottish Milton will remain for the future either mute or inglorious.It is in truth a splendid vision which these over flowing American millions are unfolding before Scottish and English eyes: Mr.Brodrick\u2019s dust heap is the now accredited new title of the War Office.Certainly the report published on Thurs: day by the committee of business men and financial experts whom the Secretary of War commissioned to investigate the whole working of the Department, justifies the title.The report shows the War Office to be a crazy medley © offices and officers created piecemeal to suit the personal and political exigencies of successive Ministers, incapable of that co-operative effort which is the first sential in any business organization.Witnesses, who gave evidence under the pledge of secrecy, proved that officials waste a large part of their time in find: ing out how things should be done an who should do them, the process gêner ally ending in nobody doing vital things waiting to be done, and nobody is to blame, while large questions of military policy are left unconsidered.As onê summarist of the report declares: \u2018It 18 as if a railway company tried to earn money by shunting goods instead of car rying them.\u2019 And it is from this mass of ineptitude that England has expecte to get the organization of an efficient army! Gréat changes must come, an come soon, for the report, in the hands of an alert Opposition, is enough 0 3 bombshell to throw half-a-dozen Minis tries who dared to neglect it.\u2014_\u2014 A DISASTROUS FIRE.Wilson, N.Y., June 9\u2014This villag was visited by a disastrous five 10-day.4 large pontion of the businczs section © the place was.destroyed.The los 13 estimated at $40,000.TI N : b : : 5 3 REF FERRET 5 æ #03 er- im- MoNDAY, JUNE 10, 1901 THE Y.M.C.A.JUBILEE Notes of Yesterday's and Today\u2019s Meetings.THE DELEGATES WILL LEAVE FOR BOSTON TO-NIGHT.A very interesting meeting was held in the Association building last evening immediately after the church services.Mr.J.H.Putterill, of London, presided.Among those who spoke were Mr.J.H.Moore, international secretary of the MR.L.H.PACKARD, {pact President of the Montreal Y.M.G.A.He presided at Saturday's night sueet- Ings.Railway ¥.M.C.A; Mr.W.J.Orr, of St.Thomas, Ont.; Mr.Fisher, of Liv- ool; Mr.C.B.Willis, of Milwaukee, ho also sang \u2018I am a child of Christ\u2019; Mr.Ralston, of Birkenhead, England; Mr.W.M.Parsons, state secretary of California; Mr, Harry Swift, of London, England; Mr, Macpherson, of Glasgow, Scotland; Mr.W.H.Mills London, England, secretary of the National Committee; Mr.Callender, of Pi Pa.; Mr.Jenkins, of Detroit, and sev: pthers.\u2018 The addresses, which were all very brief, emphasized the naturalness of Christianity and the absence of sectional lines.The aim of the iation was to bave young men hear Jésus Christ gay \u2018Follow me,\u2019 DELEGATES PREACH IN CITY .CHURCHES.The osition of the jubilee delegates emongst the city churches yesterday was, eo far as can be learned, as.follows: At MR.C.T.WILLIAMS, President of the Montreal Y.M.C.A.the American Presbyterian Chureh, in 1 the morning, Mr.John R.Mott; in the evening, Lieut.-Col.Charles Fermaud and Mr.C.S.Ward.At St.James Methodist Church, in the morning, were Mr.J.H.Putterill and Mr.Ses Ward; in the evening, Mr.W.Oatts.At the First Baptist Church, in the morning, .W.H.Mills and Mr, R.C.Morse spoke, and at night Lieut.-Col, Fermaud addressed the meeting.Mr.W.M.Oatts preached in Knox Church at the morning service, and the Rev.R.M.Dicke¥, of Selkirk, Man, in f $ Le yenine.1 Ch A mmanuel urch, in the evening, Mr A.E.Marling and Mr.W.H, Mills Ke.r Ât Zion Church Mesesrs.W.H.Ral- Blon, C.P.Goodson and R.N.Fisher ave ten-minute addresses in the morn- g and Messrs.Fraser, Marshall and C.P.Goodson spoke in the evening.At Sherbrooke Street Methodist Church Iast evening Messrs.Thomas Jameson and W.B.Wakefield spoke.ol W.Pratt spoke at Bethlehem urch in the evening.of these addresses and sermons Were fresh, originäl, spiritual and inspir- 18, and were listened to with great plea- hare by the several congregations which ad the privilege of hearing them.LETTBRS OF REGRET.At the Saturday night meeting letiers regret at being unable to Le present Were read by Mr.C.K.Calhoun, as- Tant Secretary of the Montreal 4.M.- A, from Mr.F.M.Pratt, secretary the Toronto Association; Mr.Robert a eidensall, secretary of the Internation- tl Committee, Chicago; Mr, A.H.Whit- ford, general secretary of the Buffalo as- Socration; Mr.L.L.Doggett, I'h.D., President of the Y.M.C.A.training kool at Springfield, Mass.; Edmund Ne Booth, associate secretary of the New York city association; Mr.D.A.owland, secretary of the Sherbrooke 5 tion, and a personal message Tom Mr.James Stokes, of New York.THIS AFTERNOON.ye Programme this afternoon includes oe unveiling of a memorial tablet at ault Bros.& Co.\u2019s warehouse, St.Helen fireet, at 3.30 o\u2019dock, by Mr.Howard Miams, of London, and an address by I.John R.Mott, of New York.The visiting delegates will be enter tained at luncheon at the Association building this evening at six o'clock, and & reception will be held from 7.30 until the departure of the delegates for Bos- éon on the night train.An invitation is extended to friends of dhe association to call and shake hands | with the delegates before their departure as this will probably be the only chance that will ever be presented to Montreal- ers to see many of them.It is also expected that western trains bringing delegates through Montresl on the way to Boston may stay over long in allow two hundred or more delegates an opportunity to call and see the Mont real association building, which is claimed to be one of the best on the continent.THE RAILWAY Y.M.C.A.Mr.John F.Moore, international pec- retary of the Railway ¥, M.C.A, New York; Mr.J.Callender, secretary of the Railway Y.M.C.A, and - Caldwell, of the Railway Ÿ, M.C.A, Toronto, addressed the meeting of the railway branch of the Y.M.C.x in connection with the fiftieth anniversary of the city Y.M.C.A., yesterday afternoon.AN OLD ADVERTISEMENT The following adventisement ap eared in the Witness, of Nov.24, Bre NOTICE.)

\u2018an explosion of powder, and which resulted in the partial wrecking of a dweling-house and the serious wounding of a mother.and child.It appears that a habitant, named Trudel, who resides on the Island, and who indulges in wild duck and geese shooting in season, had a bag of gunpowder stored away in a cupboard in his dwelling.\u2018Yesterday, during his absence, his wife set about house cleaning, assisted by her little daughter.By-and-bye, the little girl came to the cupboard and proceeded the whole, the small bag of gunpowder: included, into the stove.- Immediately, a.terrible \u2018explosion followed, which start: led the \u2018whole neighborhood, and which: smashed \u2018the stove into many pieces, blew out the windows, and played havoc generally with \u2018the house and its.occupants.When the neighbors came to the.rescue; \u201cMrs.Trudel was lying: on the floor unconscious and part of her cheek having been torn the floor \u2018by another large piece of the stove,

at the for mer, and spoke of the many ways in which God -had manifested his blessing upon the Association.The persona character of Sir George Williams, the founder, and the other leaders, the devotion of the officers, and the harmony, as of David and Jonathah, between leaders and officers, were proofs of the guiding of his Spirit.Addresses were also delivered by Mr.Potter, of the Exeter Hall Association, London; the Hon.Granville Walde- grave, and Mr.Alfred E.Marling, and prayer was offered by Mr.E.F.a Marshall, maritime secretary of the Y.M.CA, i ; Mr.Ward, of Min- .WW.Ré Mr.George Hague

capacity, a number of the city clergy being seen in the audience.Mr.C.T.Williams occupied the chair.After a service of song and devotional exercises, conducted by the Rey.G.Osborne Troop and the Rev.Dr.McWil- liams, Lord Kinnaird was introduced to\u2019 the meeting by Mr.Williams.His Lordship, addressing the meeting, tendered the congratulations of the As- \u2018sociation of Great Britain, and stated that the universal mourning at the death of the late Queen, who had throughout her life always encouraged and assisted that which stood for righteousness and good, and the fighting side by side for liberty, freedom of worship and truth, in South Africa had brought us closer together, and there never was a time when we understood each other so well.They were met to discuss the problem of how the young men of the world were to be reached, how they were to develop all round men, sound in body, mind and soul.e latter - were only led by \u2018God\u2019s \u2018Spirit.The iden of the founder, Sir George Williains, was that the Association should be first and foremost a spiritual institution.It was no easier to get at the young men now than it was fifty years ago.Buildings, gymnasiums and libraries would not do it.They were useless without a consecrated mlem- bership, a consecrated committee and a consecrated secretary.The work must be done by a union of associations.There was yet much more work to be done outside.There was enough money in this city to do all the national work alone and leave the evangelizing to others.They had lately seen what the British empire would do when a part of it was in danger, and the kingdom of God had inestimably more claims upon us.When we think of the millions of young men in India, Japan and China without salvation, we must ask ourselves if we have been obedient to the command of God.He hoped from the conference a new era will begin.These young men were worth saving.What were they going to do?They surely believed in the ideal of the Association\u2014Christ for young men, and young men for Christ.- Mr.W.M.Oatts, who represents the National Council for Young Men\u2019s Christian Associations, in a tour of visitation, which he is just completing, of the British colonies, made an eloquent appeal for the missionary movement of the Association.He spoke of the wonderful work that the oper door of the Y.M.G.A.is doing throughout the world.What was wanted was to arouse the enthusiasm of the young men, and to use | der Sc \u2014\u2014\u2014 same to the best to Jesus Christ.Mr.John R.Mott.of New

O'Leary testimonial committee is now a thing of the past.It will be remembered that the total collections towards the fund amounted to the sum of $3,600, of which $500 were presented to him for his imme diate wants on his return from South A rica, and $1,500 were invested in the Jeffery Hale Hospital as a donation by him to that excellent institution, subject, however, to the payment by it to him of \u2018an annuity of fi0 during the remain der of his life.The other half of the fund was offered to the St.Bridget's Âsy- lum on the same terms, but as the trustees of that institution could not see their way tp accept it on these terms, MI.Murray Kennedy, the treasurer, Was charged with the duty of finding another investment for it, and satisfactorily per formed that duty by placing the money in the safe hands of the Royal Company of Montreal on even still more advantageous terms, a result largely brought about by his own generosity Im paying out of his pocket on the spot the sum called for by the company to cover the estimated expenses of management, under the arrangement come to by MI Kennedy with the company, the whole confirmed by.regular notarial deeds ap proved by Mr.Cook, K.C.The compat?undertakes to also pay $100 a year to Father O\u2019Leary and to hand over anï balance remaining at his death to the St.Bridget\u2019s Asylum, together with the increment
