are now being taken by a aumber of Canadians publishers in the direction of bringing pressure to bear on the governmeut for a modification of the new postal regulasions as affecting, more especially, the maguzines,\u201d says the Toronto World.\u201cIt is claimed that it will co~t Canadian readers of U.S.periodicals, at least 8500,060 & 3 ¢nr wore for their favorite journais.This amount does not benefit ti is country, either, but is contributing in extra charges to Uncle Sam's postal department.There is a magazine agency in this city wbich bas 10,000 subscribers all through Canada.Yesterday, a prominent Baptist clergyman who was paying up bis eubscription for several periodicals was mulcted $5 more than he paid a year ago.Others will suffer in the same way.Every public library in the country will have to bear an added expense of frome 810 a year up.The U.8.magazines are sarcastic in their references to the new measure.The current issue of Success says: \u201cWe cannot forbear expressing to our Canadian subscribers our condolence upon the recently adupted policy of their government.The new postal convention between the United States and Canada, which was forced upon the United States by the Canadian Government, means that the great magazines of America will have to pay from 40 to 72 cents per annun more for the postage than they have paid hitherto.The result is obvious\u2014 the subscription price must be raised to Canadian subscribers.By a most curious and amusing paradox, the extra money which the Canadian sub- acriber pays goes into the treasury, not of Canada, but of United States.In other words, a thousand American magazines going into Canada, while a bare half-dozen Canadian magazines, of practically no circulation in the United States, pay to the Canadian Government the increased rate on their limited American circulation.It is the Canadian citizens who pay the piper, and he contributes an enormous sum annually to the ravenues of the American government.\u201d To the increased cost is also liable to be added the annoyance of non-re- ceipt of their periodicals.Last week, for iustance, the entire supply of a weekly magazine that is popular here, went astray while being sent by freight, and hundreds of people were disappointed.ABENAKIS SPRINGS NOTES.Guests here are enjoying the amusements of the mid-summer season to the fullest extent.The past week has been one of pleasure and recreation and on all sides nothing but expressions of delight anb satisfaction are heard as a result of the many attractions offered.The lawn tennis

being the anniversary of his birthday.CANADIANS WIN.The Canadian artillery team won in the coast defence competition for the King\u2019s Cup, which took place in Halifax, N.8., Thursday and Friday.The announcement was made at a late hour Friday during the banquet given by thp Canadian Artillery Association to the officers and men of the Canadian and British teams.The Canadians have captared thé trophy by the close of the result was greeted with loud applause.This was immediately followed by a call from the British team for three cheers for the Canadians.and then by cheers from the Canadians for the British, each also giving a vigorous team yell.\u201cThe appointment of a receiver for the Pope Manufacturing Company is à surprise of the business situation in the United States,\u2019 says the Montreal Gasette.\u2018The company le one of the greatest manufacturers of mator cars, and ie not insolvent in the ordinary sense, the assets amounting to many tiloes the estimated Habilities.The

aged 67, a man in feeble health and a veteran of the Civil war.The affair occurred at the home of McLane at four o'clock.Emery had gone to the house earlier in the afternoom and sought a quarrel but wae told to go away.This he did but returned in a more aggressive mood and being again warned to leave the premises, persisted and went up on the steps where McLane shot him down, a bullet from a 22-caliber revolver going through his heart.A large crowd witnessed the shooting and McLane was at once arrested.It was said that Emery was under the influence of liquor, that he had put his wife and child out of the house, that he was in a fighting mood as was often the case when he had been drinking and that he evidently picked out the veteran for his abuse.Another version of the affair is that Emery's wife and child had taken refuge in McTane\u2019s house, and that the quarrel followed in consequence of Emery\u2019s charging McLane with harboring his family.Geo.W.Buzzell of St.Johnsbury was killed by an electric shock on Monday, August 12th.Some time Sunday the wires of the Citizens and the St.Johnsbury Electric company became crossed at the north end of | the fair grounds at 8t,

from both companies went to the fair grounds to locate the trouble and while discussing the situation Mr.Buszzell climbed one of hie poles.He must have unconsciously touched both the live wire and another wire snd made a ground circuit as Mr.Gage heard him gasp and knew at once what had happened.Mr.Gage ran to Robert Donaghy\u2019s to telephone the office to shut everything down but before he returned to the pole Mr.Buszell had fallen to the ground dead.Mr.Bussell Was born in Thetford, Feb.20th, 1851, being the son of Jonathan W.and Eether Boszell.He went to Plermont, N, H,, when a very

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014.7 ' The National Association of Mau- ufacturers, an organisation n2 some 2,700 manufacturers, with a combined capitalisation exoeeding 615,000,000,- 000, publishes in the current lssue of its official organ, American Industries, a tariff \u201ccreed\u201d emphasising the ré: solution in favor of immediate tarift révision, unanimously passed at a recent convention.The associntion holds that present tariff schedules are unequal, and derhands the immediate appointment by Congress and the Ex- ecutiveof a nop-partizan, non-politi- cal commission, composed of men thoroughly cothpetent to equalize present schedules.The \u2018\u2018creed\u201d outlived by the association is as follows: \u201cWe believe in the policy of a protective tariff, liberal in scope, and affording to every American industry in need of protection from foreign competition the benefit of schedules ample to accomplish this purpose, including a sufficient margin of safety to insure the steady and profitable operation of industrial plants and the payment of a wage scale, comparable with the present standard of living in our country, ° \u201cWe believe that our present tariff, in many of its schedules, is unjust and unequal, giving to some a smaller measure of protection than Is needed, and to others greater industrial advantages than are equitable, resulting in abuses and in a social unrest disturbing the body politic.\u201cWe believe that any further revision of the tariff Lnder the old methods is wholly to be discouraged and avoided, since it is by these methods that the present injustices have arisen popular animosity engendered toward a class because of undue advantages of a few, and because such so-called revision of the tariff has invariably resulted in a rigidity of she set schedules and a consequent discouragement of foreign trade.\u2018We believe that the tariff should be taken out of politica onee for all, ireated as a business proposition, made just to all parties thereto\u2014the people of the United States as a whole plated upon a sane and scientiffc basis, in hands competent to treat it intelligently without favoritism and throughly to accomplish the purpose of protection without injustice.\u201cWe believe that the time to take the tariff out of politics is now, and not after the unsettling effects of another national campaign.Now, when the country is prosperous and when it has a ehief executive in whose integrity it has confidence; now, when the evils are obvious and are known to all.\u201cWe believe in placing the tariff under a non-partisan tariff commission not umike the present Inter-State Commerce Commission, with semi- judicial powers, as, for example, to summon witnesses; this commission to investigate thoroughly and scientifically the various schedules amd from time to time submit their com- clueions in the form of recommendations to Congress and the Executive, It should le within the power of thie commission and the Executive to increase os decrease the present schedules within such minimum or maximum limits as Congress in ite wisdom may determine, to the end that an equitable adjustment be made, not as the result of a few months\u2019 work of a congressional committee, but of the careful and systematic work of a permanent and practical commercial body.\u201cWe believe that Congress at its next session should pass a bill creating the tariff commission just described, and that it remains for us, the manufacturers and representatives of the industries of the United States, for whom and in whose interests the present tariff schedules were presom- ably created, to express our strong desire for a tariff commission as above outlined, and to demand thet Oon- gress ereate such a commission at its next session.SOME POLITICAL PROPHESIES.Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, who, returning from Nova Scotia to Vancouver, was in Montreal Friday, has been indulging in some political prophesies.He expressed the con- vietion tnat if the Opposition can carry fifteen seats in Quebec province the Laurier administration is doomed.He does not limit the Conservative triumph to that number, but said that fifteen members coming from this provinoe to support Mr.R.L.Borden would unquestionably mean the death knell of the present regine, Sir Hib- bert is confident that several seats will be taken from the government in Nova Scotia, for the feeling, he saye, was never better and every one seems jo be awaiting the signal to get into ne.Sir Hibbert thinks the bitterness against the Conservative leaders, past and present, ie rapidly passing away, \u201csince the Liberals bave had à dose of their men at Ottawa,\u201d as he pus it.: .Twelve square miles of spruce for- 1 jo hid boon = Bas pige purchased

attractions at Sherbrooke fair, which begins Sept.2nd.The stage has been newly built and some of the senery is already placed.An overhead ehelter is being built, so that preformances may be given even in the most unfavorable weather, and the amusement ptatform has thus become a virtual summer theatre.As the date of the fair comes hearer, the bustle.in 8herbrooke grows busier.Every day sees more strangers in town, and amusement enterprises like moving picture shows are already opening up.The imformation bureau of the fair, which has not yet moved into its headquarters near the Union station, has had business\u2019 in such volume as to indicate a crowd of considerably more than 100,000 visitors during the exhibition.It would seem almost impossible that & city of 14,000 population could take care of such a crowb in two weeks, but it is being done.The railroads have given splendid train service, and in this way haul away thousands who wénid otherwise have to be taken care of here, but even at that there promises to be not a single vacant bed in the city for the two fair weeks.The entries have practically ceased coming in, for the simple reason that there is no more room for exhibits.Every foot of the Industrial building has been let; every coop in the Poultry building, though it was doubled in size this year, is spoken for, and a tier of spare coops, on top of the others, will be built, The lists show that this year Ayr- ehires, Jerseys and Shorthorne have most appealed and Es E Ë DOON® -PUT IT - PFF, LONGER.Get Rid of That Indigestion at Once by Using Mi
