WORTHEN.TOWN TOPICS.| Now is the time to bring in your sleighs for painting.J.Allard, jr.| The tearing away of the horse shed: at the old Holmes store is a great im- ! provement.October 2nd was the largest Tues- ; day's business ever handled at the R.I.and D.L.station.Mr.Abram Cass of Manchester, N.H,, was in town on Monday en route to his former home in Hatley.The report that Dr.Ross is going to Derby Center is without foundation.Dr.Ross has been located at Derby Line about three months and has no intention of leaving.J.A.Many, merchant tailor, desires to inform his patrons that he has engaged another experienced wdrkman and is now better than ever prepared to do first-class work promptly.On Friday evening, October 12th, at 7.30, there will be a meeting of the young people of the Congregational Church for the purpose of considering | plans for the carrying out a winter's prograjnme in connection with the Young People\u2019s Society.All are cordially invited to be present.To supply the finishing touch to his customers with water of any degree of heat or cold, L.A.Lanctot, the pioneer barber, has installed a new hot and cold water apparatus.Towels, refreshingly cool or steaming hot, will be supplied according to the taste of the iprtividual.Hair singing done.Miss Emma L, Dutton with Mr.and Mrs.[Bartlett of Boston, have been stayihg with relatives in Stanstead for the past ten days.Miss Dutton, who is connected in an official capacity with the management of the three Boston famous hostleries, Young's Parker House and Touraine, though a native of Stanstead, has not been here for'about twenty years.Mr.A.Lee Brown of West Charleston, and Miss Mary E.King of this place were married at the home of the bride\u2019s sister, Mrs.Annie Gadupee, last evening, Rev.H.A.Brooke, Rector \u2018of Christ Church performing the ceremony.The wedding was a very quiet one only the immediate relatives being present.The happy couple left on the north-bound train for an extended tour.Yesterday's wreck is not the first case of the kind resulting from an engineer\u2019s forgetfulness of the Stan- stead-Newport accommodation.A similar accident occurred about four years ago when a freight train collided with the branch train below the Lake Park station.In view of the tendency on the part of engineers to forget the branch train some change in employés\u2019 time-tables would seem to be called for to draw attention to it.On Tuesday of last week, Mr.R.W.Moore, proprietor of the Stanstead Hotel, who has been in the Elliot Hospital, 38 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, for some lime, underwent a surgical operation for the removal of a tumor which he feared was a cancer, but which was proven, by a microscopic examination, to be a fibrous growth of bone.This has been a source of trouble and annoyance to Mr.Moore for six or eight months, and it is a great relief to have the cause successfully removed and to know there is nothing cancerous.Dr.Canfleld did the dissecting, assisted by Dr.Harrington of the Boston City Hospital.The surgeons pronounce it a very peculiar case, this species of tumor being very rare.Only a very few of the kind are on record.TOWN TOPIUS.Views of the railway wreck at the Derby Line studio.Mrs.8.Ray and Miss Fannie Truell are visiting relatives at Ayer\u2019s Flat this week.Mrs.George A.Pierce and sons returned to their winter home in Newton Center, Massachusetts, the first of the week.The council and citizens of Stanstead will give a complimentary dinner to: M.B.Lovell, Esq., of Coaticook in the Town Hall, Saturday evening.The many friends of Mr.R.W.Moore will be pleased to hear of his\u2019 improved condition and that he is expected home Sunday morning.The contract between Mr, Beach and Mr.Goodhue has been amended 80 às to include the addition of still another story to the latter\u2019s factory.\u2018| This will make the building four stories besides the basement, The bridge question wes further discussed at Monday evening's session of the council.A majority of the councillors were in favor of au under truss.structure if the same could be had | without increased cost and the secre- tary-treasurer was instructed to communicate with the bridge builders, their answer to be submitted at an adjourned meeting to-night.Mrs.Cobb and Mr.Butters are in Boston.Mrs.Cobb had arranged to visit her sister, Mrs.Keyes, whose home is near Newbury, Vt., leaving on Monday.A telegram announced the burning of the beautiful residencé on the Keyes farm, and when Mrs, Cobb reached Newbury only the smouldering ruins were left.She proceeded to Boston without stopping.The shed connected with the old Holmes store has been removed and preparations are being made for moving the meat market north a distance of eighteen feet.The store proper will then be moved north to within a few feet of the meat market building from which it has been detached.A stone wall was commenced on the canal bank, but a protest against further pursuance of this work was made by Messrs, Butterfield, Goodhue and other canal power owners yesterday with the result that work was suspended, Mr.Kathan being absent.We are informed that the wall will be completed although a legal conflict may arise.The \u201ccanal\u201d controversy has aroused some comment about the unsighbliness of that stream.be too great the stream might be carried through the business portion of the village in a large steel or iron | tube which could be covered.Besides enhancing the appearance of the place this scheme would give considerable room where it is most needed for broadening the street and walks.It: would also do away with two bridges and make some land available for building improvement.In view of these facts a municipal bonus would seem to be justifiable.A closed tube would certainly be much better for the power owners as dirt now dumped in the stream would be excluded and constant outlay for repairs stopped.This week ripe raspberries have been one of the attractions to drivers on the Field road.Quite a quantity of the fruit was to be seen a short distance south of the old Field homestead.A number of ripe strawberries, grown out doors on plants imported from France, were left at the JOURNAL office yesterday by Sidney Hovey of Beebe Plain.Rose bushes in some sections are blossoming for a second time, but all these facts are discounted by William Fisk\u2019s apple tree which is trying to raise a late crop of apples.The tree was in blossom a few weeks ago and now the fruit has \u201cset.\u201d Keeping track of the weather during the past six mouths has heen a perplexing problem and it is no wonder that fruit trees have got muddled.On Sunday morning next at the Congregational Church there will be a Rally Service in connection with the Sunday School.It is earnestly hoped that all who have at any time been connected with the school and are able Will endeavour to be present, as well as all who are now members of the school, so that there may be a full attendance at the commencement of the new quarter's lesson.The pastor will Finally all were removed, some going | ton were in the place on Tuesday.preach on \u201cBible Study as an aid to If the cost would not .TOWN TOPICS.À burglary was committed at the | Rock Island and Derby line passen- | ger station between ten and eleven O'clock a.m.Monday.Entrance to the ticket office was gained by break- (ing a hole in the ticket window large l enough to reach through and release ithe catch.The window was then raised and the thief entered departing | after subtracting $2, mostly pennies and nickels, from the money drawer which was not kept locked.Some time after the theft was discovered suspicion fell upon Winnifred Noland of Island Pond who had lately Leen ; staying at Derby Line, and was seen approaching the station by a boy living on Railroad street.It was found that he had afterwards left for Island Pond on the stage.After some delay Constable P.Gilmore accompanied by Deputy Sheriff \u201cTP.Hinman set out in pursuit and overhauled the fugitive about a mile this side of Island Pond.He consented to return with the officers, but stoutly denied the charge until the confession and was taken to Sher- | :brooke for trial.| mi - RAILWAY WRECK.The brauch train, which through to Newport ss an \u2018\u2018accommo- i runs dation,\u201d leaving here at 3.30 P.M.1! collided with a north bound \u2018light ; engine un the main line at the curve a! short distance above the North Derby crossing yesterday afternoon killing \u201cone man and sericusly injuring several other persons.Both trains were running fast and as they came in sight of each other aroune the curve the engineers had barely time to set the brakes before the crash.Both cugines were derailed and badly demolished.i .The tender of the branch train was forced threugh the forward end of the car the two being \u201ctelescoped\u201d several feet, the tender trucks passing under the forward end of the car.Archie Bowker, fireman on the north bound train, was killed.Engineer Walter ; Hunting\u2019s shoulder was dislocated and he was quite badly bruised.The other trainmen injured are: | Charles Dennison, engineer on the branch train, hands badly scalded and , head scalded and wounded.i Fireman Kimball, scalp gashed eigh- ; teen inches and torn from scull.Fred Stevens, conductor, severe :scalp wounds and limbs badly jammed.Homer Martel, brakeman, head bruised and back injured.The passengers injured are: Harry Stratton, Beebe Plain,

broken.; Mrs.Bean, cut over eye.| h i Mamie O\u2019Brien, Stanstead, shoulder \u201cbruised., Conductor Stevens had just signalled the engineer to stop to leave : passengers at North Derby and was | standing near the door.He was; knocked down by the tender which! crashed through the forward end of | the car, His legs were squeezed in between the car floor and bottom of, the tender, his head being held down ! by the brake beam.The end of the | tender had to be raised with jack: screws before he could be released.! Although bleeding from scalp wounds \"and badly bruised, he kept perfectly ! cool and gave instructions to the rescuing party.| Harry Stratton, who was sitting at | the end of the car, was also pinioned : by the tender and the side of the car! had to be cut away to secure his re- leage.Mrs.Stratton was heid fast by her clothing which had to be cut to, release her.Many people visited the wreck | which was at first the scene of much | \u2018confusion.It was some time before | the arrival of a sufficient number of | surgeons to give the injured proper attention.Some of the wounded train- , men were at first taken to the d\u2019Etch- egoyen house on the knoll behind {which the wreck occurred.Other \"trainmen and passengers were taken | up the line on hand cars and in teams.\u2018to their homes, others to the Junction \u201chelper\u201d running to Leunoxville to assist in hauling heavy south-bound trains up the grades.The run was a familiar one for fireman Bowker, but A new one for Engineer Hunting, wbo received his orders to proceed to Len- noxville keeping clear of all regular trains.Neither of the men thought anything about the branch train which makes this one run through to Newport.BEEBE PLAIN, Francis Pocock has been home for a few days superintending the finishing up of his barn.When completed it will be one of the best of its size in the village.| Miss Carrie King attending the funeral of her aunt, Mrs.Earl, which took place at Way's Mills, last Saturday.Mrs.Lyman House left on Saturday | Derby.when the accident oceurred.| We regret to learn of the death of bone | 1; ; i sone | Pilot John McEwen is at his home for it w {a week\u2019s vacation after which he will: Mrs.Skinner, Barton Landing, bad: return to his duties on the B.and M.| three days at his home here the fire | ho ; Messrs.J.E.Davidson and W.E.| There were some affecting scenes in last for Saginaw, Michigan, whers she connection with the wreck, particu: | will spend a couple of weeks with larly the arrival of Miss Hammond at relatives and friends.the Stratton home last evening and| Will Bean ot Newport, was in the the visit of the deceased fireman's |plece on Saturday.Ho accompanied wife to the stacion at the Junction Harry Stewart on his hunting and where the body of the unfortunate | fishing trip to Lake Megantie.7 man awaited the arrival of the coro- Mrs.Josiah Feltus and son George ner from Sherbrooke.Bessdes a wife | returned home last Saturday, from a deceased leaves two children.He was [three weeks\u2019 trip through Vermont a son of Charles Bowker, C.P.R.sta- jand New Hampshire.They report a tion agent at Mansonville.An inquest pleasant time, was held by Coroner Pelletier, who!

we do not feel it our duty to make any reply to the very smart and cunning effusion in last week's JOURNAL in regard to the school.We stated the plain and jsimple tacts and backed them up by the very best of authority that of the Secretary-Trenaurer who surely ought to know as much or nearly as much about municipal and school matters here as the bumptious oceasional correspondent.We will however say in reply to his question: \u201cWhy was the Government grant taken away from the school here.\u201d Occasional correspondent displays his ignorence in Lhe matter by asking the above question, We can assure him it was through no fault of the young Indies who had charge of the school, and again he says: \u201cWe well know why those resignations were sent in.\u201d To this we must plead ignorance, We do not even know what resignations he refers to.Rev.P.Pergan, B.A.of Heathton, will preach in the Methodist Church here next Sunday and also at Granite- ville and Griffin in exchange with Rev.Mr.Finch.The ladies of All Saints\u2019 Church will dish supper in the Town Hall, October 17, at 6 o\u2019clock prompt.A good time is assured.Dr.McCowan of Knowlton, is the guest of Mr.C.H, McClintock.VALE PERKINS.Mr.U.B.Darling is adding a bay window to his house and making many repairs.Mrs.James Perkins has rented her farm for five years to Ulyses McCoy.Mrs.Mills Geer is making repairs on her horse barn.Mrs.J.M.Alex has taken a trip to New York.Mr.Lewis George has added n veranda to his house.Thomas Mullins, an old resident of Magog, died on the 22nd ult., aged 61.TUN ai ir BEST BUY IN ROSSLAND DIRECTLY WEST OF Le ROI NO.1 & 2.BIG FOUR CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINING COMPANY.NCN-ASSESSABLE & NON-PERSONAL LIABILITY, Capital $250,000 in Ten Cent Shares.Four Claims, All Crown Granted, with No Debts or Liabilities, One Mile West of Rossland.Over 600,000 Shares in Treasury for Development.The Properties of this Company are situated directly west and 600 feet lower in elevation than the famous Le Roi No.} and Le Roi Nu, 2, that are now shipping 10,000 tons a week.Shaft and Two Tunnels, driven to tap the ore body on three separate and distinet veins.The Workings consist of a No.1 Tunnel on this vein is in over 100 feet, and No.2 Tunnel on this vein has reached a depth of 1i2 feet, with three and one-half feet of shipping ore in sight, and forty -feet of the ledge to cross-cut.The ore is identical with the Le Roi ore, the High- Grade Gold-Copper Ore of the camp.The No.3 Vein has been opened in five places for 2,000 feet, which dips to the 1.X.L.adjoining, which is now shipping the highest-grade ore in British Columbia.Several buildings are on the ground, with two Llacksmith shops and large boarding house, etc.with water and timber in abundance.Our assays have averaged from £5.00 to »800 in Gold, Copper and Silver;

I | ingnedintels In | | | | [as | wWeuker pull for à long time, Just as n mir Who can hold at arn°s length a | Weight of 25 pounds cannot hold his empty hand in that position for ton ! minu.es, The starfish is provided with a per- Heularly horrld kind of digestive ap- paring, being able to extrude the whole of his stomach through his cetter of fhe body on the lower side, Turning Hself Inside out, the atomneh wraps itself about the animal to be de- vourwd, digests It where it Îles and Is then withdrawn to Its normal position i within the body.Dr.Mend says that the star can protrude ts stomach for a distance equal to the length of one of Îts arms, OCten more than one star takes part in opening an oyster.It ls the young oysters that are In greatest danger from the stars, and the peril decreases ns the bivalves grow larger.Oysters of marketable size, 3 or 4 years old, are comparatively unmolested, The spnwning season of the stars In the Narragansett bay reglon Is from \u201cJune 7 to June 28.By the end of June they are found, in their adult form, | elinging by myriads to the celgrass.«They remain upon the seaweed until \u2018abont Ang 1, by which time many of them have found thelr way to the hot.tom, Dr.Mend suggests that millions , of them could be destroyed in July by collecting and drying a few cartlonds ' of seaweed taken from below low water mark.of that month the gathering of the seaweed woull do no injury to the ; olama, ne season is ready to breed the fol- owing summer.GREAT WORK FOR LITTLE MONEY.rss \u2014 DIAMOND DYES ARE THE MOST PROFITABLE AGENTS USED IN THE HOME.No other article used in the homes 'of the Dominion of Canada are as i popular as the Diamond Dyes.These lindispeusable helps in economical housekeeping make new friends every iday.The popularity is gained by | quality, excellence of colors and ease and con f rt in doing the work of dyeing.i Just think of it! One package of any of the Diamond Dyes will color from one to six pounds of goods, according to the shade desired.This is wonderful work when the small expense is considered, Your last year\u2019s jacket, cape, blouse, dress, skirt, and your husband\u2019s suits and children\u2019s clothes may be soiled, faded and unsightly; but with a ten cent package of Diamond Dyes you can work a mighty change, and make the old things like new for this season\u2019s wear.One effort in this work of true economy will convince you that Diamond Dyes are true money savers to the family.The oyster can overcome | mouth, which Is a small hole In the After the first woek or two! Ordinarily the star hatched In! | Valtures and Rnttlesnnkes, | Ahen the international boundary commission resurveyod the lines between the United States and Mexieo, there were naturalists in the party.br, Mearns, who, with hls assistants, collected many speelmens of binds and { manminide, tells of à fight In the air between a California vulture and a rat- Vesnake which he saw while exploring the Cocopali wountalns of Lower Cal- {tornta, It was in the carly morning, The big bird had seized the snake behind the {head and was strugeling upward with Mts writhing, deadly burden.The snake's captor appeared aware that its | vietim was dangerous.The burden was heavy, as the reptile was nearly five feet long.The grip of the bird on the snake's body was not of the best.The snake seemed to be squirming from Îts captor's talons, it least sufliciently to enable It to strike.Its triangular head wits seen to recoll and dart at the mass of feathers.It did thls once or twice, and then, with a shriek, the vulture dropped Its prey.The bird was probably 500 feet , OF s0 above the observers.The aston- Ished men were then treated to a spee- ; tacle seldom seen.Few birds but a vulture could accomplish such a feat.The instant the snake escaped from the bird's clutches It dropped carth- ward lke a shot, and, like a shot, the bin dropped after it, eatching It In midair with a grip that caused death.; At any rate, the snake ceased to wrig- Cgle, and the vulture soared away to a ed meal.Youth's Companion, Origin of \u201cUnder the Rose\u201d ; In Greek mythology the rose was the symbol of silence, as it was said that Cupid, the son of Venus, gave the god of silence a golden rose as a bribe to con.{real the amours of the goddess of Jove It was, therefore, sculptured on the ceilings of banqueting ills and placed as n sign above the doors of questionable resorts.Guests at feasts were rerowned with roses to intimate that ! their conversations while In their cups [ were not to be repented elsewhere, ! The phrase obtained currency in Greece after Pausanias, the admiral of the Greek fleet, plotted with Nerxes to betray the cause of the Greeks by sur- | rendering the ships, the negotiations | being conducted in a small banqueting | hall, the roof of which was, as usual, [covered with sculptured roses, The I plot.however, was discovered and or- i ders given for the arrest of the traitor.; Pausantas endeavored to make Wis ref- | uge in a temple which possessed the right of asylum.Uowilllng to violate | the sanctity of the place by forcibly 6 removing him and still more unwilling | to allow him to escape, his fellow clti- \"zens walled up every entrance and, by one account, left him to dje of starvation; by another, killed him by wn- !roofing the building and throwing down the tiles on his head.In the Jaws of a Lion.The gallant Major Swaine lells of being knocked senseless by a lion that lacerated his arm.His thrilling escape from the jawe of death is only equalled by Dr.King\u2019s New Discovery for Consumption, which has saved thousands from desperate throat and lung troubles.\u201cAll doctors said my wife would soon die of consumption,\u201d writes L.C.Overstreet, of Eigin, Tenn, \u201cbut your wonderful medicine completely cured her, and saved her and saved her life.\u201d Satisfaction is guaranteed by F.W.D.Melloon who gives trial bottles free.Large bottles 50c and #1, CLOSING SCENES.Wanton Destruction by Boers Describ d by Myr».Burleigh.Writing from Lorenzo Marques under date of September 25th, Mr.Bennett Burleigh, special correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, says: \u2018The Boer debacle is complete.By dint of hard riding from Barberton I managed to overtake, first, General Ian Hamilton\u2019s division, then of General Pole-Carew.I finally entered Koomati Poort with our scouts.Not a shot was fired, nor was a Boer seen during the march.BOER DESTRUUTIVENESS.Evidence of the enemy\u2019s monkeyish destructiveness was everywhere to be seen, however.The bridges had been dynamited, the stores, buildings, and homesteads looted and burned, as had been also the railway property, all the chief stations being mere masses of mountain peak to devour its hard earn- | smoking ruins, amoung them Kaap Muiden, Hector Spruit and Koomati !Poort.At the lust place there is an , enormous aren over which tho Boers \u201chave wrought destruction.The devastation includes hundreds of wagons, trucks and carriages, which have been burned together with all i kinds of stores of clothing, ammunition, forage and provisions, such as I'sugar, coffee, rice, flour, and stationery.Thousands of tons, indeed, are still bnrning, General Pole-Carew has secured hundreds of locomotives.The whole of the Selati railway line is simply blocked with rolling stock.On my way from Barberton I saw at Hector Spruit the burst Boer guns and the destroyed stores.ACRES OF WAR DEBRIS.In the Crocodile river there were visible literally acres of damaged gun ammunition, wagons, limbers, dynamite detonators, and war stores of every sort and description.When I passed through Koomati Poort I saw, besides the burning stores, hundreds of tons of ammuni- tion\u2014all kinds of caps, gunpowder, and other explosives, and ready fused shells for guns, from the pompom to the six-inch, broken rifles and cannon.The enemy had left standing many tents.The great waste in the effects of the Boers was evident.Trunks, [urni- ture, provisions, clothing and other articles were lying about in every direction.In the rocky Led of the tumbling, foaming river were yet more enormous quantities of stores, ammunition, rifles, cannon and foodstuffs.Any good police force\u2014say one of ;twenty thousand men\u2014can do the rest Lof the work of pacification for seeuri- ty.If General Buller and the others \u2018move on to seize the passes neither Ben Viljoen, the new commandani- general, with Steyn and Schalkberger, nor Koetze, with the rest of the derelicts from Koomati Poort, can escape through the mountains towards Ly- denburg and Pietersburg, while to remain in the low veldt at this season of the year spells death for men and cattle.The Portugese have disarmed all the Boer refugees taken, Fifty truckloads, with nearly three hundreds tons, have been dumped down on the island of Sheffeen, off ; Lonenzo Marques.The Irish- American mercenaries are clamoring for pay and threatening the Boer officials.THE FINAL COLLAPSE, The final collapse of the Boer army may be summarized as follows: When the Boers, numbering two thousand, evacuated Koomati Poort they took up positions between the Lobombo range and the river.They had good positions, and could | have made a capital stand, but owing to the disorganization and lack of discipline that were prevalent, they were only half-hearted.Wishing to avoid a conflict and unnecessary bloodshed, the British Con- sul-General consulted the Portugese Governor-General, Senhor Machado, as to the best course to be pursued to attain this end.He asked that emissaries should be sent up with an address to the Boers pointing out the uselessness of continuing their resistance, and the absolute needlessness of going on further.Besides, if they continued to fight there was a fear of the natives rising.Owing to the fact that the Portu- gese had been most kind to the Boers, and as they had guaranteed their maintenance and repatriation and promised to send them back to their country free of charge, the scheme succeeded beyond the wildest hopes of its originator.Instead of dozens coming down to Lorenzo Marques, twenty-five hundred arrived in this wise.Diplomacy, therefore, triumphed by bringing the war to a speedy and bloodless close.\u201c1 wish to express my thanks to the manufacturers of Chamberlain\u2019s Colic, Cholery and Diarrhoea remedy, for having put on the market such a wonderful medicine,\u201d says W.W.Massin- gill, of Beaumont, Texns.There are many thousands of mothers whose children have been saved from attacks of dysentery and cholera infantum who must also feel thank thankful, It is for sale by all first-class dealers.HALF-HEARTED ATTEMPTS TO GET WELL ARE NEVER SUCCESSFUL.Honest Use of PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Will Permanently Banish Your Troubles.THE GREAT COMPOUND GUARANTEES A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.It is pitiable to see the half-hearted and almost useless attemps made by many people to get rid of poor health.More determined efforts and greater energy would be put forth to achieve victory in any other undertaking.Too many are believers in \u2018\u2018fatalism;\u201d others make use of almost anything that is recommended by neigh- hors, while many are quite satisfied if temporary relief is afforded.If Paine\u2019s Celery Compound be used to cleanse the blood, to regulate and tone the nerves, to banish rheumatism, neuralgia, headaches, kidney disease and dyspepsia, then be assured the good work is fully and permanently accomplished.It is positively criminal and foolish for young or old to mope around in a half-sick condition and shut their eyes to the grand blessings offered by Paine\u2019s Celery Compound.The world knows of no other medicine as good for fortifying and building up the system to battle against the trying and varying weather of autumn.Go to your druggist at once and procure a bottle of Paine\u2019s Celery Compound and see how soon the \u201cblues\u201d will vanish; your nervous depression, headache, backache, rheumatism and neuralgia will go, and permanent health, activity and happiness will be yours, On the Other Side.The well-fed American, says Mr.Henry Briggs, who was a trader in China for twenty years, can have no idea of the utterly bare life of the Chinese rice-picker.It is, at the best, perpetual semi-starvation, In years when the crop is short these men grow into the likeness of skeletons.Infant female children are smothered as a religious duty, to save them from the pangs of death by famine.Yet in the midst of this hardship and want they are brave und cheerful, and kind aud considerate neighbors, helping and nursing each other with much tenderness, Mr.Briggs says that one autumn, in a year of famine, he went with two English travellers to shoot ducks in the vast rice swamps.They lost their way, and after wandering for hours, met a Chinese of the lowest class, who conducted them, after two hours of hard plowing through the mud of the swamps, back to their starting-place.The man was thin and weak and was pale with exhaustion when he turned to go home.Hence it was a liberal handful of money which they offered him in payment\u2014more than he could carn by two years of labor, for wages in China are almost incredibly low.To their astonishment, he refused to accept any reward whatever.The reason he gave was that Confucius had ordered his followers to show kindness to their brother men.\u201cWe are so poor,\u201d he said, \u201cthat the chance rarely comes to us to obey him.No such chance as this has ever before come tome.1 will not lose it,\u201d \u201cNor was this a solitary case,\u201d says Mr, Briggs.\u201cItis the habitual temper of the people.\u201d Such incidents as this lend weight to the statement so often made by those most familiar with China, that continued seizure of territory by foreigners and tie interference with domestic laws and customs, have roused the Chinese toa fury quite at variance with {heir usual temper.Why Certain Metals Cannot Be Cast.{ As is well known, some metals are unsuitable for casting, while others, like iron, can readily be cast in any ! desired shape.The property of casting well is said to depend upon whether the metal contracts or expands on solidifying from the liquid form.Iron, like water, expands in solidifying, and hence the solid metal may be seen floating in the liquid about it.The expansion causes it to fill the die into which it is poured, and so it can be cast easily.Gold and silver contract in cooling, and therefore are not suitable for casting.For Over Fifty Years.Mrs.Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been used for over fifty years by millions of moth ery for their children while teething, with perfect sueee It soothes the child, softens the gums, alls nll pain, cures wind colies, and is the best remedy for It will relieve the poor ttl lever immediately.Sold hy druggists in every part of the wor d, twenty five cents nbattle.Bo sure and ask for \u201cMrs.Winslow\u2019s Soothing Syrup,\u201d and take no other kind.[THROUGH EXPRES Great Bargains in Milk Cans.The Balance of Fuctory Milk Cans to be sold at less than cost.The best iu the world, 10 netory Milk Can: 24;

BREAK A COLT FOR RIDING\u2014-SUGGESTIONS OF AN ENGLISH EXPERT.6+0-6:0+0-6-0+0+0-0-0+0+0x0 In saddling the colt he should be turned round in che stall and fastened to each pillar on either side, allcwing him sufficient head to move backward and forward freely, says J.I.F.Bell in the London Live Stock Journal.The breaker should take the saddle aud hold it forward to his head so that he can sce and smell it, soothe lim gently by kind words and caress Lim by patting him softly behind the ears.He should move quietly up to his near side, push the stirrups well ap tbrough the leathers and fold the girths across the top of the saddle.After making ; A NS GES, AR 5 CE Co AE 3 Ta.GE BADDLING.much of the colt for a few minutes he should slip the saddle gently over Lim, place it squarely upou his back, slip the girths quietly from the top of the saddle, and in girthing him be mast be careful net to draw too tight!y at first.Nothing frightens a celt more than straining him round the middle sudden: iy.The breaker must never Hurry nor do anything clumsily, but move about the colt with case and confidence, and he will soon grow familiar with the appearance aml feeling of the saddle, It should be frequently put on and \u2018taken off bis back.first from one side she: i ; LN \u2014 } Peaches, Apricots and Pranes\u2014all of The: and then froti the other, and when he becomes thoroughly accustomed to this the taps of 1he saddle should be beaten very gently at first to fauilliavize bim with noise like the swinging of straps and rattling of Irons, After training the colt with the feeling of the saddle (or three or four cou- secutive days he should receive lessons in turning to the bit.This is best accomplished by walking close to his side\u2014the near slde\u2014and reaching the right hand well aver the withers to use the off rein, while the left Is worked by the other band, making him move backward and forward and turn tn all directions.The colt sticuld be led in the open 2 few days by a long rein attached to the front cavesson ring.He should be taken along publie highways, so that he may become familiar with objects on the rond.Many colts are frightened to pass swiftly driven vehicles and \u201cscorching\u201d cyclists.eycles now being ridden over the pub- tie roads, together with the phenomenal appearance of an oceaisional motor car, the passing of those objects quiet- Iy by horses is an fmportant and essential poiut In their early training.Iu addition to the ordinary breaking harness.it Is a capital plan to fix a chain to the crupper just above the colt's quarters.The chaln should be about eight feet long, so that it will hang about a foot beneath the flanks of the colt on elther side of him.Tt will dangle and play about his legs and flanks by the motion of his body aud will have a tendency to remove any ticklishness that may be about him.A pair of common farm mouth bags should be tivd together, fixed In the center of the saddle and suspended as far as the feet of the rider will reach.They should be filled with some heavy material\u2014corn or turnips will do\u2014and their weight, pressing against the sides of the colt, has an excellent effect in preparing bim for the pressure of the rider's legs.The colt should frequently Le driven round in à circle, first to the right and then to the left, and never too long at a time.In this way it is casy to give him plenty of exercise before he can be ridden.lle should be sent round at n trot and a canter sweating him a little, but uot tiring him.In running him to the left the right hand rein can be used as a whip If necessary, and vice versa in running to the right.The breaker should always stop the colt when the direction of his course is reversed and Induce him to walk close un, when he should be encouraged by fondling and kind, assuring words.He will learn this almost sooner than anything clse if he Is kindly treated.The reason for stopping Lim when his course Js reversed is to prevent Lim running oue action Into another and confusing Lis paces.Walking.trotting.cantering and galloping are all distinct paces and should be done separately.The halter should always be left on the head of the colt below the bridle.The halter shank should pass between the fore legs and Le securely fixed to the saddle girths, and when tbe colt throws up his head the pressure comes upon his nose, which does uot check him so severely as when the strap Is attached to the rings of the bit.The driving reins should be ten yards long, and they should pass from the colt\u2019s mouth along through the stirrups.The stirrups should always be fixed to the girths to prevent them being displaced when the relus are drawn upon.In this manner the driver can lever the relua round tbe hind quarters of the colt and wheel him about in all diree- tions with the greatest ease.When the colt bas been driven about From the number of bi- mend inounting proper In the open, Ît fs wel! to accustom the colt to the weight and appearance of the rider In the stall.The colt should be turued in the stall and loosely fixed to the pillar rings on either side.The breaker must work quietly about him for some time.catching the saddle by the right side, , And lean the weight of the body upon it.He should insert the left foot in the stirrup, taking it out and putting it In often, so as to get the colt to understand what the nolge means.When he has learned this In the stall, he will remember It in the open and will not heed the Jingling of the boot ln the stirrup afterward.When he is quiet under this treatment, the breaker must get his foot in the stirrup, raise the body slowly and gradually up and lean neross the buck of the colt without putting the leg neross Lim.Fe should coutinue doing this for Lalf an hour from both sides of the colt and then slp his right Jeg quletly over him.lle shiouhl settle the body well down in , the saddle and wove the arms and legs continuously about Lim He should move them cautiously at first and sradually Increase the motion according to the behavior of the colt.He should mount and dizmount often on both sides of him and never appear te be in a hurry by wishiiug to accomplish In ten minutes what it will take an Lour and a half to execute properly.Some breakers recommend mounting the colt {na court or aux large li closure, but it is always attended with more or less danger, both to the colt and the rider, owing to the close prox- fmity of the walls of the building, Thevefore tiounting in the open is wr- gently recommended for general safety.The best system Is 10 take the colt Into the center of a large field\u2014stubble if possible\u2014and in addition to the reins a tong coll of cord should he attached ! to his bead in front, so that if any mishap oceur he ean be prevented from running away hy keeping hold of the cord, The cord should be loosely roll wil up and suspended from the left arm of the rider.Te should get the colt.by gently fondling him, to stand perfectly steady, and this will best be effected hy give ing him haf an hour's coursing in the rein previously.As soon as he is quiet be should take the veins, along witly a fell handful of his mane.In the left Tutnd and place the right hand on the off side of the saddle, with the whip lying horizontally under the palm, insert tie loft foot in the stivenp, raise the Lody gradually up, and, whenever the balance is reached, slip the lez quietly yet swiftly across him and Insert the foot in the stirrup, He should settle the hady well down in the saddle, keep a cool bead and always be ready for any emurzeney.In putting the colt into motion the breaker should keep his hands well down on the front of the saddle and urge him gently with the heels, It ls always better to ride him without spurs at first, Tf the colt does not np- pear inclined to start, the Dreaker should draw gently on the left rein, at the same time closing the left leg ngainst him nnd coax him by kind, ns- suring words.When lhe moves forward, the breaker should not be overparticular in foreing him to go In any special direction, but should keep him circling widely sound al a walk.The colt should not be trotted nor galloped until he is quite fa- wiliar with all the rider's movements in the saddle.If the colt should plunge and rear, the breaker must bend well forward i HOW TO RIDE, on his ueck.slacken the reins, seize him by the mare and as soon as he descends from lis evolution push bin forward aud keep him in motion.If he should buck and kick, be should take him well in hand aod stick the knees close into the saddle flaps, He \"should warn Lim in stern accents to desist, ot the same time giving him an occasional hard pull with the rein, \"and if the rider

Old, fe Is Still à Good Rond-Constructed on the Macadam Principle-Other National Elighwaye Built.Early in the present century, with the movement started in England by Telford and Macadam in favor of bro ken stoue ronds, the itiportance of improved roads for military.postal and commercial purposes began to be wide- 1y appreciated.Road reform assumed such proportions that it was advocated by many of the grent patriots of the day.Indeed the movement waxed so strong in this country that it became one of the leading questions of national polities, Those who believed In a liberal con: struction of the constitution were fa- vorahle to the building of ronds by the general government, while the striet constructionists denied the power of the government to spend money fou any such internal Improvements.Dur- Ing President Jefferson's second term the DE admitting Ohlo as a state, passed April 30, 1502, contalned a provision setting apart 5 per cent of the net pro- coeds from thé sale of publie Linds In that state to the building of publie roads leading from the navigable waters cemptying Into the Atlantie to and through the state of Olo-3 per cent for rendmaking withifo the state and 2 per cent for highways outside the state.OLD CUMBERLAND ROM, Such roads were to be lad out under the authority ol congress ad with the consent of the states through which they would pass, In 1806 the sale of public lands In Ohjo had amounted to over $GUV,000, after some discussion, la both houses of congress a bill appropriating $30.000 was passed.The construction of the so called Cumberland read was then begun.From Cumtberland.Mad, it was to extend through southwestern lennsylvanla and over the Alleghany mountalus tu the Ohito river at Wheels ing and then on to St Louls.It was constructed after the principles advocated by Telford and Macadam and was so Well built that It is yet a good road, although it has since passed into the hands of the states tn which !t Is Jocated and has not been systematically repatrad for years.This voud was well described by à writer In 1S70 ns follows: \u201cIt was excellently maeadmndzed, the rivers and crecks were spanned by stone bridges, the distances were Indexed by Iron mileposts and the toll- houses supplied with strong Iron gates.Its profoctor and chief supporter was Henry Clay.whose services In its he- half are commemorated by a montu- ment near Wheeling, There were | sometimes 20 gayly paintid four horse {conches each way dally.The cattle and sheep were never out of sight, The canvas covered WARons were drawn br G to 12 horses.Within a mile of the road the country was a wilderness, but on the highway the trafic was as dense as fn the maln street of a large town.\u2018Ten miles an hour Is said to have been the usual speed for coaches, hut he- tween Hagerstown and Frederick they were claimed to have made 26 miles In two hours, These conches finally cens- ed running In 1853.There were also through frelglit wagons from more to Wheeling whieh carried ten tons.and their rear wheels were ten feet High\u201d i While the Cumberland road was be ing built 12 other great national high- wars were laid out In the states and territories, making what was then regarded à complete system of roads, and more or less work was dene In opening | and constructing them.Congress provided In 180G for a road from the frontier of Georgla, leading toward New Orleans, and one from Nashville Natchez, Miss, From 1806 to 18238 a total of $1,600,000 was appropriated Ly congress for roads in various places, and of this sum $200,000 was used In Florida, $286,000 was expended for a: road from Chicago to Detroft and other points, and $206,000 was used toward : the construction of a road from Mem- plis to the St.Francis river in Arkansas.In addition to the appropriations above mentioned grants of land have Leen made from time to time by the states to aid in the work, and the labor of United States troops has Leen ocen- elonally employed.In 1822 the regular appropriation for the Cumberland road was vetoed by President Monroe.and in 1830 the Maysville and Lexington turnpike bill authorizing a government subscription to the stock of a turnpike company In Kentucky was passed by congress, but was vetoed by President Jackson.The monetary crisis of 1837 put a damper on all projects requiring large government expenditures.and from Baltl- | There is no doubt, he says, that the They were drawn by 12 horses, | to | \u2018son why mon are ball, why their hair { falls out more than women's, lu because women do

March 18, 1862.He studied at the colleges aut Sorel and Levis, and was admitted to practice law in 1884.He married, in 1888, Lli- sa, daughter of the Hon.Honore Mercier.He was first elected to the legislature Jin 1897 for the division of Montreal No.2\u2014St.James Ward.He is an alderman of Montreal.Fuel is now being manufactured in London out of mud, street refuge and sewage, for sale to the poor.A chemical process has heen invented by which all this waste material is so treated that it is rendered combustible.Mud has been withdrawn from the Thames at Millwall, treated chemically and compressed into briguettes, that in appearance closely resemble blocks of dull ebony or bog oak, This mud has been proved to have a calorific value of 7.52 pounds.It burns readily, exhales a minimum of smoke, and leaves only 25 per cent of firm ash.The street sweepings are mixed with a small percentage of cheap chemicals, pressed into blocks, and sterilized by being subjected to an intense heut of about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.This fuel produces great heat, burns freely with little smoke, and leaves very little ash.The sewage when subjected to this chemical process and pressed into briquettes looks like the best coal, so deep and rich is its sable character.This last fuel can be manufactured at the low cost of $2 per ton, and is equal in every way to the cheaper coals.Licenses have been granted to manufacture the fuel from these hitherto waste materials, and works are shortly to be installed upon the river's banks at Barking.- During the winter of 1897 Mr.James Reed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W.Va, struck his leg against a cake of ice in such a manner as to bruise it severely.It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches, He was treated by physiclans, aleo used several kinds of liniments and two and a half gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief until he began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm, This brought almost a complete cure in à week\u20195 time and he believes that had he not used this remedy his leg would have had to be amputated.Pain Balm is unequalled for sprains, bruises gnd rheumatism.all firat-class dealers.For sale by He believed that thé bill before the that the House of Commons and the.British people would accept.Much had been said as to compulsion to rebel.He believed that in a case where a man could show that he had, been compelled to join the enemy that, he would he given every opportunity to call witnesses.Speaking for his district, he said that 90 per cent.of the people were only anxious to be prevented from going to prison, saying that they had committed a great.error, but did not object to disfranchisement.They said to him, \u201cDo anything to keep us out of jail.\u201d That was the mandate of his constituents, his unfortunate constituents, and when he found that the interests of his party clashed with the interests of his constituents he would act upon the mandate of his constituents.Sixty-five per cent.of the people of his constituency had the document or proof that they were commandered.He denied the existence of any conspiracy on the part of the Afrikander Bond.He was an official of that body, and he never heard a word about conspiracy.What surprised him was the eagerness of the border colonists to join the invaders.The men who had guided and advised them for years were unheeded; the people took everything that was said to them by any minor Transvaal oflicial as Gospel.His constituents called him a rebel, because he would not follow them, If he had not made his journey up there he would never have believed that men who had lived all their lives under the Union Jack could have possibly taken upsuch a position.But he was there, he was an eyewitness.He was told, \u201cThe Englishman will never come here again; it is not possible, he is going to be driven far away.\u201d Then he saw the amount of falsehoods and misrepresentation circulated by the Transvaal Government.In Pretoria there was a regular bureau started to spread these miserable lies in the disturbed districts.The people were told officially that France and Germany and Russia were all coming to help them, and that the English were to be driven into the sea.He said to them: \u2014¢\u2018It is an impossibility.Ihave just come from England and I can tell you the feeling of the people there is unanimous.If it costs them 200,000,000 of money they are going to crush you.\u201d No; \u201cthe Transvaal Government had had these assurances from Europe,\u201d and it was utterly impossible to convince these people that they were on the wrong course altogether.The misrepresentations were so ingeniously manufactured that the ignorant were bound to believe them; the falsehoods were so judiciously distributed, and so poisoned the people\u2019s minds, that it was use- and send their savings to The Chinese excel in certain kinds of labor, such as gardening, shoemaking, etc., where the Russian cannot compete in price, but, on the contrary, he is not good for all kinds of work, and especially refuses to work in the water, or even in damp places.For masonry work, it is estimated that a Russian workman, himself inferior to an Italian, equals four Chinamen.Among the Siberian industries, it is the gold mines especially which have adopted Chinese labor.Formerly, in the mines belonging to the Czar, it was forbidden to employ the Chinese; but when on account of the scarcity of hand labor the price had reached #0.25 per pound of gold, the government decided to let out the work to contractors.The Chinese were engaged by these for £0.13 per pound, which reduced considerably the price of the gold extracted.M.Levitoff remarks that the Chinese carriers in the region between Irkutsk and Khabarovsk have the habit of stealing the gold and sending it to China.Another thing to be deplored is the clandestine sale of Chinese brandy, called khanchine.In spite of the advantages enumerated, the writer says that it is urgent to stop the invasion of the Chinese element, and he recommends emigration from the rural population of European Russia.money TRROUGH THE NOTCH IN AUTUMN, A visit to the \u201cAlps of America,\u201d as the White Mountains of New Hampshire are often called, is an ever lasting memory, but no part of the region is more beautiful than is the famous Crawford Notch.When the frosts have tinged the Notch foliage the whole region is ablaze with the brightest of colors over which every visitor is enthusiastic.In the tour of the mountains on the famous Crawford Notch excursion on October 10, the tourist has a view of the Presidential Range as well as of the Notch itself, and for the price $1.50 for the rouud trip, no excursion can equal it.Special train at 6.13 a.m.Stanstead.THE CHINESE NEGOTIATIONS.from The Emperor of China has appointed Prince Ching, Earl Li, and Gen.Yung Lu commissioners with full au- thoaity to negotiate for peace with the powers.Prince Ching arrived at Pekin September 4th, under escort of British and Japanese cavalry, and Earl Li left Shanghai for Pekin September 14th.Prince Ching has the reputation of being friendly to the foreigners.Gen.Yung Lu, on the other hand, is the commander of the northern army in China, and was identified with the anti-foreign sentiment during the recent troubles.several prominent and influential Afri- AT THE CLOSE OF THE STRUGGLE.The occupation of Koomatipoort When he told them that he: and the disarmament of the practical- had a special message from the then |ly disorganized remnants of the once powerful Boer army would seem to be among the closing acts of the grim struggle which has been in progress in South Africa for nearly twelve months.As Lord Roberts pointed out in the proclamation which he issued ten days ago, the war is degenerating and has degenerated into operations carried on in an irregular and irresponsible manner, and in very many cases by insignificant bodies of men.The commander-in-chief is preparing to return to England, but he has warned the Boers that the phase into which hostilities have now passed is exceeding the limits of legitimate war, and yesterday\u2019s despatches point to the early proclamation of a state of peace in which belligerents will be liable to summary punishment as outlaws and murderers.There is, of course, no centre of political authority with which to deal in either of the two Republics, and no organized bodies of troops in the field.Nothing but irregular fighting was to be looked for after Botha retired from the command, and handed what shadow of his authority remained to Commandant Viljoen, who has heen more notorious for the violence of his political opinions than for his military ability.There is no town of any importance in the Transvaal or Orange River Colony which had not been occupied by British troops, and the different states are being administered by British officials.So long as the guerilia warfare is carried on a vigorous enforcement of martial law will be necessary, and the peacefully disposed burghers are thus made to suffer for the irreconcilable spirits who are likely to degenerate into outlaws.It is said that the prolongation of the ruinous and unavailing resistance has been due to the ignorance of the Boers, who do not appreciate the fact that nearly 15,000 of their countrymen are at present prisoners of war and Will not be released until those now in arms surrender.Mr.Kruger\u2019s flight is held by most burghers to be a confession that the war is hopeless, but there are some who still think and hope that his journey to Europe may bear fruit in the intervention of one or other of the foreign powers.It is a mere illusion, for no reasonable person can suppose that Great Britain, after all the sacrifices that have heen incurred, will stop short of uniting the whole of South Africa under the British flag.Ttis rather amusing to observe that some of the continental papers have compared Kruger*s flight to Thiers\u2019 tour around Europe in the winter of 1870.This is very derogatory to Thiers, who went through Europe trying to mitigate the disasters of a war he had courageously condemned, The utmost that can be said for Mr.Kruger is that he avows the intention of appealing to Europe to save the Transvaal from the consequences of a war which but for his obstinacy and rapacity would never have occurred.The fugitive ex-president, who believes in dreams and denies that the eaath is round, has not the remotest chance of enlisting the support of a single power on his behalf.A certain amount of sympathy he will no doubt, receive, for more than one power has encouraged him in his dogged perseverance in his self-imposed task of endeavoring to overthrow England in Sonth Africa, and to establish a South African Republic under Dutch supremacy on the ruins of England\u2019s colonies.To this end he has haggled, manoeuvred, intrigued and fought.More than one colonial statesman and European minister has learned with a sigh of relief that he has succeeded in smuggling his archives over the border.They are believed to contain many secrets which Mr.Kruger\u2019s former correspondents would be sorry to seein the possession of the British Government.It was an impracticable scheme to which Mr.Kruger set himself\u2014the overthrow of the mistress of the seas\u2014but it had plausibility enough to blind men whose knowledge of the great world was small, and whose judgment and sagacity were blinded by prejudice or passion.And the net result of it all has been that his life-work has done more for the consolidation of the British Empire than the achievements of any other man of his generation, RO The cotton situation has attracted much attention of late.Owing in part to a short crop and a great diminution in the visible supply, and in part to a speculative movement based on these conditions, cotton has risen to the highest prices reached in ten years.In England, it has been scarcer than at any time since the Civil War.Since their raw material costs 50 per cent more than a year ago, and their finished product sells at a small advance only, the Lancanshire spinners voted, September 7th, to discontinue buying American spot cotton during Septem- her.This action caused a break in the cotton market; prices, which had risen 84 a bale in three days, dropped 21.50 a bale, but there was a partial recovery of this loss afterward.Later the market was thrown almost into a panic by the reports of heavy damage to the Texas cotton crop.His Wonderful Nerve Alone sustained Editor F.M.Higgins, of Senaca, Ill., when all

sympathy aroused has been well nigh universal, Thal this sympathy Is more thin a mere sentiment is shown by the generous contributions that have flowed in from all sections of the country.The accounts dercribing the couditions preceding and following the terrible disaster have been fully described in the contemporary pross and need not be dwelt upon now.The civic authorities have had a very pe- rious problem to deal with in addition to the immediate horrors with which they are surrounded, namely, the policy to be adopted with reference to rebuilding the city.The frequent Visitations of Hoods to the city of Galveston render his problem a very diffeult one to determine, Galveston is situated at the extreme end of an island some thirty-five miles long, which varies in width fram one to five miles.The part of the island upon wbieh the efty is located is almost fat and its highest point is only about eight feet above menn tidewater.The bay, which is known as West separates the mainland from Galveston Island and extends about cighty miles inland.The harbor itself was an important one, the United States government having expended some six millions of dollars in building jotties and wharves for the purpose of providing the city with it deep-water sen- port, and ils facilities for handling commerce were unsurpassed.The importance of the city may Le determined from the fact that the exports have nmounted to as much as a hundred millions dollars a year.Once before has the city of Galveston been visited by a most destructive flood, and many times has it been ge- riously threatened.Itis no wonder, therefore, that the question of abandoning the present site was seriously contemplated.[t hag heen determined, however, to rebuild on the present site.In the first place, one of the prime influences which tended to this was the feeling of civic pride and the love of home which is implanted in every one\u2019s hreast, and the immense value of property still remaining comparatively intact.Then, again, the possibility that additional defenses can he erected agninst future storm inundations is probably a controlling factor.From an engineering point of view the question which presents itself is whether it will be possible to provide \u2018any means for the protection of the city againt a recurrence of this dreadful visitation.In these days of progress we are inclined to regard scarcely any object as heyond the reach of attainment from an engineering or mechanical point of view, and although the physical conditions in the present case seem to render the proh- fem almost hopeless of solution, it would seem that some method would he devised by means of which at least the lives of the inhabitants might in the future be vouchsafed.The late storm, of course, was an exceptional one, but the cruel fact must be faced that the city lies in the pathway of tropical storms, and that similar cony ditions will probably again arise.What course will be taken by the authorities in obtaining protection against the loss of life and property in the future remains to he seen, but there is no doubt that some practical methods will he suggested hy engineers which will at least lessen the dangers that in the past have so frequently afflicted the city.-\u2014Scientific {A merican. air.ean RRR SARI a ATE TORRID «3 fi is ë F I 5 fi LEE IE PCT ES 0 ue À fe |
