petition represented: 4 \u2018That by the act 57 Victoria, chapter 57, the owners of real estate bordering on Notre Dame street, in the city of Montreal with a depth of fifty feet irom Dalhousie square to Papineau avenue, were made liable for the payment of three-eighths of the cost of the expropriation for the widening of the said Notre Dame street, between Lacroix street and Papineau avenue; .\u201cThat since the coming into force of the said act the city of Montreal has, by the performance of various works undertaken in the general interest of the city, deprived the aforesaid proprietors of the benefit they might have derived from the widening of the said \u2018That the said owners are consequently entitled to be relieved from the obligation of.contributing to the cost of such widening, and it is expedient to grand.their prayer .to that effect contained.in the said petition; \u2018Therefore, His Majesty, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Coun- ci and of the Legislative Assembly of.Quebec, enacts as follows: \u20181, The third paragraph of section 22 of the act 55-56 Victoria, chapter 49, as replaced by section 2 of the act 57 Victoria, chaper 57, is again replaced by the following:\u2014 \u2018The cost of the expropriation for widening Notre Dame street befiveen La- croix- and Papineau avenue, shall be paid by the city of Montreal\u2019 team ST.JAMES THE APOSTLE FIRST SERMONS BY THE NEW ASSISTANT MINISTER, THE REV.H.A.BROOKE.Large congregations filled St.James.the Apostle Church yesterday, morning and evening, to hear the mew assistant minister, the Rev.H.A.Brooke, who preached at both services.His ad: dresses were of a high order and made a very favorable impression on dis hearers.In the morning Mr.Brooke took for bi text St.Mark i, 13, in which is described the sojourn of our \u2018Lord for forty days and forty mights in the wil- demmess.\u2018The preacher remarked that it was almost impossible for ws to realize that the Holy One could be tempted, yet the fact that he was so Was exceedingly comfonting to us.It enabled us to draw mear the throne of grace with the greater boldness, knowing how much the more our judge can sympathize with us seeing that he was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without ain.In addition to this there was a great lesson in the method by which Our Lord won his victory from the à ter.In every case he appealed to Saripture and iHustrated that other great text, Fhough he slay me, yet will I trust in im.In the evening the Rev.Mr.Brooke took for his text \u2018Wihatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might, and founded upon it a discoumse that was an earnest and almost a stern rebuke to the instability, carelessness and \u201claissez faire\u2019 thet characterize the age.The advice of the text came to us with all the greater force, said the preacher, $n coming from the Lips \u201cof Solomon.One of the characteristics of the Bible was the great variety of the voices through which its wisdom spealss to us.There were.the herdsman, the lawgiver, the statesman and the king.In {he voice of Solomon there was almost a depth of despair.Fear (30d, he cries, who bad feared nothing, Do with thy might what comes to-thy hand, he says, who had been seduced by dalliance and pleasure.And the lesson of the text was needed by us of today.AH the great men of the past preached i by their lives, and Christ, the greatest, the grandest, the holiest of them afl, had waid \u2018Let motéhim that putteth kis hand to the plough look back.\u2019 Lack of zeal, spiritual indolence, were the greatest \u201ccurses of the times.People oo their bands to the epirituel plough but looked back they & mind to do some- thing religious, but did not do it wi: their might.Yet the road to RAE whether in business or religion, wus all summed up in the words oi the tex: Earnestness was the great need of the times and he urged his hearers to be earnest in all their doings, and espe cially in their prayers to God LENTEN SERVICES, Mgr.Rozier delivered another co.uent sermon in the Church of Notre ame, yesterday, again before an iy.mense audience.He commented on the words of John the Baptist, \u2018There standeth ome among you whom yoy know not, and in brilliant language showed how Christ, who is everything for man, and to whom man owes ev erything, is forsaken by the world.In the Church of the esu, the Rev.Father Lalonde spoke on \u2018Catholic: action in society.HOUSE OF REFUGE.At the Protestant House of Industry and Refuge the number of night lodgings given last week was 558 and ihe number of meas given 1,353.The board of outdoor relief provided for 205 families and distributed 26 quarter-cords of woud and 137 quarter tons of coal.The visiting governors for this week are: Messrs.H.H.Lyman and R.R.Ste venson.\u2014\u2014_ FASHION NOTES Of all coats for mid-season, short and long, there is none so generally useful as the very smart little covert top coat.Between seasons this smart garment is absolutely indispensable, and, while suz- gesting spring, both in cut and color, it is by no means of light weight, and it is really becoming quite a fad among well- dressed women.Because it may be worn with skirts of any color and is a covering suitable for the times when one\u2019s tailor suits are either too heavy or too light, it becomes a really necessary adjunct to any women\u2019s wardrobe.Covert cloth, of course, is the material chosen for it, as it has been for mauy seasons past, but there is a noticeable difference in the shade of the cloth this year from that of any previous one.Instead of pale and brownish.tans, the new covert cloth shows a green.tinge ranging from a light greenish tan to a dark shade almost more green than tan.Absolutely devoid of trimming, without even a velvet collar, the coat depends for ite smartness on its cut and applied strappings.All the seams are strapped, including the outer one on the sleeve, and while the coat fits in well at the back with a decided curve inward at the waist, the front is half loose, fastening down the middle with four or five buffalo horn buttons concealed under a fly.The spring's coat is made to come four or five inches below the waist, somewhat longer than for a few seasons, and almost straight.around the bottom; there is just the suggestion of a drop toward the front.That exaggerated downward curve is no longer good stvie.Four or five rows of stitching finish the bottom of the sleeve, and the collar is plainly strictly modish, while the tiny revers turn back low on the bust.NECKWEAR.Many pretty evening stocks are made of folds of ribbon combined with lace, faggotting and net.With a foundation of some of those coarse, square-meshed nets there are pretty things with applications of lace and a fold of velvet or silk outlining the top and bottom of the stock.The folds\u2014many of them are also used entre deux\u2014with lace form the whole stock, or there may be a row of faggotting and a fancy lace stitch in the \u2018centre of the stock, breaking the monotony, or the entre deux may run perpendicularly.The folds are, as a tule, set with French knots or rows of beads.The stocks are frequently pointed at the lower edge in front or they may be straight around.There is a silk-covered wire placed at either side of the ends of these stocks, one in the centre of the front and one on either side.They are really the prettiest and simplest of anything that is worn.There is a rigidness with long bow effects in front which is apt to take from the style of a coe tume.DRESS MATERIALS.This is to be a season of cheviots, homespuns, fancy mixtures and that serviceable material, used extensively last season, alpaca.Novelties in black and white stripes and mixtures, combining these je colors, will undoubtedly take precedence both for coats and suits.Everything is to be very much trimmed, and the severely plain tailor suit seems to be disappearing.Flounces, plaits and broad tucks are a feature of the new skirts, while somewhere, and in some unique manner, bands, shaped straps and appliques are effectively introduced.Skirts laid in box plaits or side plaits, stitched\u201d almost to the hem, are extremely smart for street wear, an for walking skirts, made to clear the ground; these plaited affairs are by far the best models offered.Naturally.these skirts are all very much alike, and, to obtain any novel effect, one has to Je entirely upon the trimming iniro- duced.In a rough mixture of black and white a perfectly stunning gown was fashioned after this plaited model.The entire skirt wes laid in box plaits, very narrow at the waist, and widening broadly till they reached half way between the knee and hem.| Here they were allowed to flare, sweeping the floor at front and sides and spreading in a slightly\\pointed train in the back.All sorts of things in the way of gor- cously flowered ribbens, brocaded, with foundations of fancy weaves and mixed colors\u2014a grey perhaps formed of black and white in a sort of basket mesh\u2014and Qther pretty combinations are to be seen.ny of the ribbons have the flowers in the centre, broad bands of them, and brocaded patterns running in and out and all over and around them.The edges are frequently plain.Some of the ribbons have a black line on the edge.EE sm rr

OFFICERS ELECTED AND OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED.On Friday last the annual reunion of former students of the French Methodist Institute, Greene avenue, was held.Quite a large nuinbér were present, and at the business session the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, the Rev.L.Massicotte; vice-presi- dent, Mr.À.Lavoie; corresponding secretary, the Rev, T.Roy; recording secretary, Mr.R ser; treasurer, Prioci- pal Villard; members on_the executive, Mr.Audet and Miss A.Demers.The Principal and the Rev.L.Massi- cotte were delegated to attend a similar gathering of Point aux Trembles students this week.\u2019A sum was also voted for books for the Institute library: Mr.Wattier was present as.the delegate from Pointe aux Trembles, and conveyed the greetings of that school.Mr.A.Perrier, who was present, spoke in the absence of the delegate appointed for the Grande Ligne Mission School; the Rev.A.Laporte represented 3t.Jo- vite, and the Rev.T.Roy, Actonvafe.Ten was served \"at six o'clock, and in the evening a concert was given, in which the following took part: The Dominion Square Church orchestra; Mr.Hall, Miss A.Coderre, Mrs.Creed, Miss Mills, Miss McKeown, Miss Lamb, Miss Chartrand, Miss G.Coderre and Mr.Moule.The pupils of the Institute also\u2019 contributed several songs and cheruses in good st le.The Rev.L Massicotte presided.e usual votes of thanks were tendered, and the pleasant gathering dispersed.SECOND ANNIVERSARY THE WEST END FRENCH METHODIST CHURCH CELBBRATES.Services in connection with the second anniversary of the new French Msthodist Church, Delisle street, were held yesterday.In the morning the Rev.L.Massicotte preached a very forceful and appropriate sermon on the importance of forsaking all to follow Christ.In the afternoon the Rev.Dr.Staw preached an excellent sermon in English, from I.Peter i., 4, on, \u2018Exceeding great and precious promises.\u2019 The doctor, in kis opening remarks, referred to the two French Methodist churches, and the institute in the city and the good work they were all doing.The work of French évan- gelization was being carried on in the most Lberal and charitable spirit towards all, the aim being to put the New Testament in the hands of the people, the truth into their hearts, and Christ into their lives.They tried to avoid controversy, bigotry and objectionable proselytizing.The glory of the Gospel was its revelation.© The temple of truth was still stand- irg; the Bible was still unchanged and unchangeable.Cardinal Manning once said that if ome turned from the ChureH there was no stopping piace stort of atheism.Dr.Shaw thought that between these two points there was the unchapging word of God the everlasting truth.Nature was changing, infidelity was changing, all surrounding temporal things changed, Roman- ism had greatly changed within.the last few centuries; but the Bible was: the same mighty power to-day and \u2018was as strong and vitalizing

POLICY.à The Berlin correspondent of the Lon- on Times\u2019 says: \u2018Tne reports that a movement : on foot in Australia to signalize the coronation of King Fd- ward by an acceptance of the principle of commercial reciprocity - within the limits of the British Empire have- attracted attention in Germany, since the establishment of such a system is regarded as calculated to produce an uniavor- éble effect upon the trade relations Le- bween Germany and the British colonies.The \u2018Vossische Zeitung\u2019 points out that À is not now proposed to follow the example set by Canada n 1897 by estab- | ishing preferential duties in favor of the mother country, The results of that policy, it & said, have not been such as to encourage the Amstralian colonies to imitate it.On the other hand, # ji considered that the proposal in favor of reciprocal duties, mvolving as it does the abandonment of those traditions of free trade which have for the past half-century been regarded as the essence of British commercial policy, is mot dikely to meet with a éavorable re ception in England.Apprehensions i of this nature are supposed by the Berlin Radical organ to lie at the root of the suggestion which has been put forward in New South Whales and New Zealand that duties should be reduced in -favor of all goods carried in British vessels.The realization of such a scheme, it is pointed out, would involve a trams- gression of the spirit of the most-favor- ed-nation treatment and would naturally lead to reprisals.far as Germany is concerned the consequences of such a retaliatory measure would, in the opinion of the, \u2018Vossische Zeitung, prove disastrous for the colonies, mas- much as the value of exports from Australia to Germany during the last five years has on an average exceeded that of German exports to Australia by six- ty-eight million marks.This eonsidera- tion, apart from all others, is expected to prove sufficient to convince the Australian colonies that i will be more profitable to devise some other method of establishing closer commercial relations with the mother country.Y.W.C.A.WORK IN INDIA.The speaker at the afternoon service in the Y.W.C.A.yesterday was Miss Agnes Gaïl Häl, Namonal Y.W.C.A.secretary for India, Burmah and Ceylon.Mise Hill gave an \u2018interesting account of the work in India; \u201cWith éspecial mention of the association at Rangoon, which was established two years ago, and ® doing a splendid work.There are three American and twenty-three English Y.W.C.À.sec- Wetaries in India, thw work being chiefly among the Eurasians.A map of the localities was shown, with pictures of the girls and the buildings.\u2018The speaker urged the need of more Y.W.C.A, workens in India, and spoke also of the great openings in Japen, Egypt and South America._ mr McGILL LIBRAKY .WILL: GET THE CONGRESSIONAL | CATALOGUE.\u2014\u2014 The library of McGill University has been chosen by the authorities at Washington, as one of the few centres\u2019 where they will deposit copies of tbe author card \u2018catalogue of the Congressional Library at Washington.The.Congressional Library is the largest on the continent, as it receives twp copies of every copyright work published in the United States, and spends large amounts on the purchase of books published elsewhere, The catalogue will be kept separate and open to all, so that anyone can obtain books.The books last received will be kept separate from the others for two weeks, so as to be easily found.The value of this catalogue to students, other city libraries and the public will be very great.i The Congressional will also print.and issue the catalogue cards of all new books, according to a system instituted by the American Library Association, and any

PROTECTION THE FIRE COMMITTEE WANTS NEARLY SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AT ONCE, -Chief Benoit has prepared for the Tire | Committee a statement of the immediate pressing requirements for fire protection, which tae Fire Committee will ask to be supplied out of the annual loan.The items asked for are as follows: New central fire station, at or near Place d\u2019Youville, 830,000.\u2014 | _ \u201cTwo new

witness the contest.They put up an ex: ceptionally fast and very determined game; they were out.to win, and win they did.It can fairly be said that they easily out-manoeuvred and out.skated their opponents.The forward line, composed of the Misses Watson, 1.Nichol, Edwards and Nichol, bave \u2018combination\u2019 down to a nicety.They shoot, dodge and sate.with the \u2018art\u2019of experts, and their general attacking efforts were strong and well- timed.As a result, the Montreal ladies won the match by a score of nine games to one.(The play of Miss Watson is worthy of special mention.er stick work; was excellent, and her skatin, splendid, though all are deserving of praise, for their clever tactics and formation were kept up continuously.If the forwards were aggressive end uick, the \u2018defence were equally so.Miss Jurrie, in goal, kad very little stopping to do, but whatever came her way was properly attended to.Miss Bickerdike, at Joint, plays the position perfectly, while Miss Pelton, at \u2018cover point, could not be improved upon.She \u2018is fast on her skates and she \u2018clears\u2019 with precision and calmness.The ladies have: every reason to feel proud of their prowess as a hockey team.The Lachute team are indeed plucky, and have a fair knowledge of skating, but they are lacking in many of the \u2018fine\u2019 points of the game.Individually they play bard and determinedly, and if they only succeeded in scoring one game jt 1s due to the splendid work of the Mont- defence.; Miss Jessie Drennan was the star of the home seven and, indeed, her work was phenomenal.She skated well, checked hard, and dodged .with the \u2018knack\u2019 of a gentleman player.She is a most willing and indéfatigable player and her .Play was the point of attraction to eyes.After scoring the one e won by Lachute after a plucky and determined struggle, she was given an ovation by the spectators.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014

DEPARTMENT.According to the city charter, the city assessors must be appointed at the begin- fing of each year.At the beginning of the present year seven of the old assessors were reappointed; the eighth, Mr.F.Hamilton, was not.As the charter states that the assessors hold office untit the appointment of their successors, Mr.Hamilton has been performing his duties up to the present and enjoying the emoluments of thé office, According to the order paper, the eighth assessor, to replace Mr.Hamilton, will be appointed at this afternoon\u2019s meeting of the council.On the eve of the meeting Mr, Hamilton has issued a circular to the Mayor and aldermen in which he makes suggestions for the improvement of the Board of As- scssors and its methods.Mr.Hamilton, among other things, says in his cireular: , \u201cThe lawyer or the doctor who succeeds in his profession, and comes to the front, does not do so by following the same routine month after month, and year after year, but if he intends to compete with his fellows it is constant study and brushing up, and also by giving and inviting criticism.If this is true of a professional man, it is none the less true of a real estate assessor.: \u2018The suggestion which I have heard made that the assessor should be a man acquainted with the values of motive power is certainly opportune.It is, however, à question whether it is advisable to appoint one who is a machinist only, for that purpose.It is easy to be seen that such a one being appointed alone, he would be the sole arbiter on this point, and the remainder would be subject to his dictation, The assessment of motive power is, after all, not so difficult.The cost price is usually obtamable, and with the proper annual percentage of reduction for wear and tear, the value can be got at.* I have, with my colleague, during the last year assessed over $250,- 000 worth of motive power, and while I \u2018feel that the assessment has been sufficiently high, and the city has not been a loser, on the other hand, I have given satisfaction to the parties for whom I assessed it.I would be prepared to assume the responsibility of assessing, and I think I may say, properly assessing al the motive power in this city, might be considered a fair proportion of the real estate assessment in any ward to which I should be appointed.In this work I would oniy ask to have the assistance of Mr.Champagne, boiler inspector, who assisted me\u2019 very materially in making the proper valuation,\u201d - PERSONAL, Hotel.Mr.Burton H.Bennett, of Toronto, Canadian

a work which is being prosecuted most vigorously by Lord Strath- cona and the C.P.R., not to speak of the action of the provincial governments interested.However, it is now authoritatively stated, tbat there will be no such combine, and that prices.will remain as they have been.for some years past.The C.P.R.is spending more.money, both in the United Kingdom and Europe in.conducting a vigorous propaganda on behalf of the North-West, than it has done for years.It will soon possess a marked advantage in the new building in London, but in every part of the British Isles, in all the leading capitals of Europe, the C.P.R.has agents, litera- ttre, pictures, exhibits, and every attraction which might induce immigration to this country.With the expenditure of some twenty-three mililons of dollars upon improvements and extensions, thought \u2018has been given to the problem of immigration.One thing is now settled, Canada is known at last in the Old Country and Europe.\u2018The Canadian is no longer dub- -bed as an American.Canadian goods are labelled as they ought to be.And Canada in Europe is understood to be a most promising country, which offers large inducements to down-trodden peoples, living miserably under \u2018heart-breaking conditions for which there can be no improvement.Both Lord Strathcona and the C.P.R.are making strenuous exertions to induce small farmers and laborers from the Old \u2018Country to -come out to Canada, but failing these, there are thousands in the central parts of Europe who only awalt the completion of small savings to take ship for the Dominion.According to Mr.Flanagan, the C.P.Ragent at-London, who acts under Mr.Baker, the \u2018foreigner\u2019 meke excellent sét- tiéra, and we an this side should not object to them because they do not finme- diately speak our tongue or conform.to cur customs.The main thing is that they are frugal.They want, to work.They desire above all things be independent.And they will break up® the wilderness, and make a garden out of the wild, and In time -they will become part and parcel of the stable \u201cpopulation of \u2018the country, and rer rent J Advertisements.the city speaking the language; adopting the\u2019 habits of the great majority ofthe people among whom their lot is cast.\u2018 And so there will lecting such surplus population as can be influenced in the Old.Country.The establishment of a fast Atlantic service ties, greatly facilitate the work.of immigration, and this project may not be-so- tar off realization as may \u2018be supposed.- In ali probalility the C.P.R.will have something to say about this matter before long.stor THE GUIDE A MONTREAL TROOPZR'3 HOME LET- \u201cTER TELLS, A STARTLING CAMP -STORY,.PROBABLY FICTION.* A letter dated -Boojespruit, 0.R.C.,Seuth Africa, which left Bloeinfonteln, Jan.15, states that some of.the Canadians of the Seuth African -Constanulary are in block: houses on the-llne betwesn: Bultfontein and Vet River-seven men in each house.The Canadians \u2018had : cleäred that part of -tHe country of Boers, apd the writer describes it as more like.ihe western plains.than anything he has yet seen in South Africa.Mortality among the horses had been serious.Men were belng takem to hospital every other day owing to! dysentery or en- teric fever.Western plains men seem to stand: tke climate \u2018best.Gen.DeWett \u201cwas.supposed to \u2018be in the vicinity with 600 mien, scattered.in parties in such a manner that he can \u2018get them all together in a short time.The writer's horse \u2018died of lung disease, but \u2018as: he -de- elres to see as-mueh of the fighting as there is he always secks to borrow a horse and takes the place of the man on it.The writer glves \u2018the following as-a spe- cimer of stories current in his vicinity: \u2018Some of the Canadians of the S.A.C., up in the.Transvaai are kickiug up-a \u201cbit of \u2018a row.Not long ago their captain put a Dutch guide over them as sergeant-major, of their troop;

there were verbal greetings from the representatives of Presiaent Roosevelt, tne army, the navy, and the city of New dors, and a great crowd lined the way into the city to see and cheer the sailor prince of Germany.» Rear-Admiral Robley D.Evans, commander of the special squadron, and honorary aide to the Prince, left the tëp \u2018Illinois\u2019 with his staff at 9.40 o'clock in the naval tug \u2018Nina.\u2018Nina\u2019 met the \u2018Kron Prinz\u2019 Fort Wadsworth, and swinging around.on the: starboard side of the\u2019 -liner, steamed up the bay.Prince Henry, attired in the unitorm *of an admiral of the German navy, and \u2018surrounded by his naval and military steff in brilli- \u2018ant uniforms, stood on the bridge of the liner.As the two vessels, with a flotilla of tugs and official craft moved in past Fort Wadsworth, the first of the salutes of twenty-one guns wae On the first gun being fired, the Prince advanced to the end of the \u2018bridge of the \u2018Kron \u2018Prinz\u2019 and stood at attention.As be passed the big American flag floating over the fortih- cations, he touched his cap in salute, and the members of his suite did like- | wise.The flag at the jack-staff of the \u2018Kron Prinz\u2019 was dipped, and the German naval band accompanying the Prince_played the \u2018Star-Spangled Banner\u2019 hen the \u2018Kron Prinz\u2019 was stop- ed, the \u2018Nina\u2019 hauled around to her port side, and Admiral Evans and his staff boarded .her.Admiral Evans was escorted forward at once, and in the quarters of Captain A.Richter, master of the \u2018Kron Prinz,\u2019 he and the Prince met.The Prince came forward;

Feb.24.\u2014Mr.Spencer Eddy, first secretary of the United States legation at Constantinople, who , had charge of the negotiations for the rélease of Miss Stone and Mrs.Tsilks, arrived here yesterday on the \u2018Kron Prinz Wilhelm.In an interview, he said the brigands captured an American rather than any other missionary, because they believed the .Americans had the \u2018most money, and would be likely to pay thé ransom.SE ° \u2018Did the brigands want the money for themselves?\u2019 \u2018Mr.Eddy was asked.No, they did not, and that is where the people in America do no! understand this case.If is entirely a political matter, and all the people in Macedonia are in sympathy with thé kidnapping, for they believe it is a step toward freeing Macedonia from Turkish rule, the same as Bulgaria has been, and the money demanded, $168,000, was intended for the Macedonian cause.If we had been dealing with the professional \u201cbrigands who wanted money pure and simple, Mm- stead of the political ones, Miss Stone would have been released long'ago.It is very likely that this capture was délib- erated upon for a long time, and the vie- tims.selected were considered best to serve the cause when compared with those of other nationalities.\u201d .LIVERPOOL BANK FRAUDS GOUDIE AND BURGE TO SPEND \"TEN YEARS IN PEN ITENTIARY.o \u2014 London, Feb, 24\u2014Sentences were on Saturday pronounced on the prisoners found guilty of complicity in the Bank of Liverpool irauds.Thomas P.Goudie the bookkeeper- of the bank, and \u2018Dick\u2019 Burge, the pugilist, were each sentenced to ten years\u2019 imprisonme t, and F.T.Kelly, a bookmaker, -of radford, and Stiles, another bookmaker, each received be years, à ,vounsel had previously announced tha Lawrie Marks, the American bookmakes.who is supposed to kave committed suicide;
