\u201cThis winter,\u201d said Mr.Barlow, City Surveyor, to a Star reporter,\u201d 1s causing much misery among people living in the east end.The fact is, that put a very small amount has been spent by the corjoration for snow removal.We have had rome snow but no big snow storms.it costa the city about one bundred and twenty five thousand dollars to remove snow from the streets every season; but holf of thus amount is paid by the Street Railway Company.Almost every ceut of this sum goes to labouring men.\u201cFor snow removal one dollar and nity cents a day is paid to labourers.The en- = LARGEST ON RECORD.be Star closed the year 1902 with the largest aggregate business in tbe history of the paper.Jn advertising the year showed an incrcase of 1748 per cent.over 1901.December 1902, showed an increase of 33 87 per cent.over December of the previous year, and the advertisers generally express themselves as well pleased with the increase in their advertising appropriations.| tire support of hundreds of families depends upon the falling of \u2018he snow which causes so much annoyance to :aillwaiys.It is a true eaying that it is an ill wind that blows no one any good.\u201d \"HAUNTING THE CIVIC PALACE.Upon leaving the office of the City Surveyor the reporter saw scores of men dlit- ting like shadows about the Jong corridors of the civic palace.One and all found their way to the Road Department.\u201cAny work in the department yet?\u2019 was the unvarying question put to the clerk at the counter.\u201cJust as soon as the snow comes we shall have employment for you,\u2019 was the equally unvarying response.The seekers after work looked up wistfully at the sky through the shadowy windows and departed without further rejoinder.A group of men was found outside of the City Surveyors office discussing weather conditions.A few of the labourers uttered remarks about the clerk of the weather that must have made bis ears tingle.\u201cIt seems there as no snow in the sky at all this winter.\u201d said a burly labourer to a represemtative of the press.\u201cAnd no snow means no work?\u201d was the queried reply.LOOKING FOR THE SNOW.\u201cThat's just what it means.When snow comes early and piles up in good shape in tbe streets the labouring man can get alon fine.You see we work pretty steadily al through the summer on the wharves.In the winter, we look to support ourselves by shoveiling snow from the streets.\u201d - \u201cBut it 1s said there is lots of work this winter for labouring men apart from shovel lung snow?\u201d \u201cWell, there may be more or less, but yon see those who have shovelled for years for the corporation get used to the job.Then, every day, we expect, the snow will surely come; this makes us keep putting off getting cther employment.\u201d \u201cHave you any idea how many men earn their living by shovelling snow in the winter?\u201d \u201cJust the exact number I don\u2019t know; hut I should say there are many hundreds of men en in the work.\u201d \u201cYou must all keep a pretty ciose watch on the sky when its appearance means so much to you?\u2019 \u201cWatch the sky?I should say we do.For weeks past we have been watching it night and day.Personally, I look at it the very last thing at night.J do not dress of a morning till I have looked at it through the window.It has been a discouraging sky this winter.It has been cloudly nearly ail the time; and snow has been ised; but it comes in auch small quantities that it fairly enrages us.\u2019 The speaker moved away with rome friends, all of whom wére uttering unkind words against the old gentleman who gives us our weather conditions.TWO HUNDRED \u2018THOUSAND SPENT.Commenting on the total sum which was probahly spent in the city for snow remoy- al; an official of the Rosd Department said the total sum would most probably foot up to two hundred thousand dollars or more.In sddition to the one hundred and twenty thousand dollars spent by the city and the Street Railway Company, there was all the money spent by citizens for removing snow from their premises.This, without doubt, footed up a very lai sam.\u201cYen.\u201d said: the official, \u201c1 think it is a low estimate to say that the sum of two hundred thousand dollars is paid te labourers in the city to remove snow every winter.It is, therefore, not to be wondered at that labourers are anxious to get hold of this quarter of a million.; \u201cBut you will find,\u201d continued the official, \u201cthat wben the snow comen it will come with a vengeance.I doubt if in the spring the city will have a cent léft of its snow ap- ropriation: it very seldom has.no matter ow the snow is delayed.Tf big snow storms are in store for us, labourers, will be kept more steady at work during she remainder of the winter than What they otherwise would be.Of course, they natnrally fee} im- petient at waiting.\u201d oo © * Raided Gambling Hours.Chief of Detectives Carpenter and his staff raided the premises of the Cercle vadien, St.Elizabeth street, last night, and arrested Jules Delattre on a charge of la ;

but jhat if he were seen the cash could be got Kk.\u201cThis won't do,\u201d said the good body.It is not summer time, and I cannot keep the fire going on promises.I want the fuel or the cash.With the cash I can goto a coal yard and get coal.\u2019 \u2018 h enci ou the departed, the un- After some diplomatic ayor's part the woman erstanding being that the quarter of a ten should be hustled along.After she had gone His Worship wiped his brow, and gave vent to the following philosophical musings: hy seems to me that citizeps, interes in the co u take tbe Mayor to be a coal desters and goodness knows what.J have to stand no end of bullying.I would not put up with it in my private business, but when a man is given e honourable ition of Mayor, well, lots of things come his way.\u201d ; The Mayor then said that men were being kept at work to-day unloading coal from the cars.Many orders were stili coming in for coal, and additional tons had been ordered from Nova Scotia.The aldermen were trving to satisfy cvery one, but it was not an easy job.COAL ADVANCES IN NEW YORK CITY.It Took a Jump of $5 a Ton\u2014Com- mission Resumes Work at Philadelphia.{Special to the Montreal Star.)

Several of the largest retailers expressed the opinion that within the next few days coal would advance to twelve or fifteen dollars a ton.Officials of the coal carrying railways are equally convinced that high prices will prevail for many weeks, with the quantity hmited.The ab tion of the agreement between the independent operators and the coal carrying railways is the cause.COAL COMMISSION RESUMED.PHILADELPHIA, January 6.\u2014After a recess over the holidays, the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission resumed its work to-day of hearing the non-union men\u2019s side of the controversy.The sessions of the commission in this city are being held iu the United States Circuit Court room in the Federa) building, and it is expected fully a month will be occupied in taking the testimony of the non-union men, the c operators and the mine workers in rebut- When the commission adjourned at Seran- ton the miners had cl their case and the \u2018non-union men were en in pre senting their side.Up to the holiday recess the lawyers for the non-union men taken up about three days in calling witnesses who testified to acts of violence, boycotting and intimidation all to have committed of the miners\u2019 union.itnesses were princi- poly from the vicinity of Scranton and Vilkesbarre.John J.Williams, a mining engi employed by the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, was the first witness.He told how he was set upon and beaten while on his way to work, but could not swear that the strikers committed the assault.Sheriff Schadt, of Lackawanna County, gave in detail his experience during the strike, and finally his call upon Governor Stone for assistance.The Sheriff said President Mitchell had several times assisted him in preventing trouble.1 .Grand Operatic Concert.Lovers of music will be afforded a rare treat at the grand operatic concert, to be \u2018given in the Windsor Hall on the lth inst.by Eignora Frida Ricci, assisted by Signor Edgardo Zerni, Prof.\u201d Goulet and other gifted artists.Signora Ricci was the prima donna of the late French opera company.She has sung in leading roles in the principal theatres of Europe, including La Scala at Milan, Royal House of Rome, San Carlo at Naples, the Casino of Monte Carlo, and in all the principal theatres of South America.She in one of ths\u2019 great coloratura singers of the day.Signor rni was the original Turiddu in Caval- leria Rusticana, singing with Calve at the Ban Carlo in Naples with Mascagni as conductor.Signor i sang during several | seasons with Sembrich and Albani in Len- don and in the \u2018leading theatres of Europe, The concert will be under the distinguished patronage of His Worship' the Mayor, Sir iKiam and Lady Van Horne, Sir Thomas and Lady Shaugh , Sir Meibourne and Lady Tait, Sir William and Lady Hing- ston, Principal Peterson, C.M.G., Judge and adame Saint Pierre, the Hon.G.A.snd - prammond, Senator and Madume For get, Mr.osep ren re.Fran Stephen, - Mr.and Mis.Hugh A.Allan, Mr, and Mrs.Andrew Allan, Mr.and Mrs.E S.Clouston snd Miss Clara Lichtenstein.Concert and Ball.À concert and ball will be given by the Hebrew ladies\u2019: Aid Some:y, cn Wrdnes- day, January 7th, 1903, at the Stanley Hall, 1 Hospital on Thureday 177 Stanley street.The following will tabw ri i EEE SE Spl Se ds 4 1 Lily Vine , Mim B.n, pile pce ECO wii hesome ag | Be\u201d Benge déc: Compeuu aûd Me.Loue ent.of Br yA A oe or - TUESDAY} JANUARY 4 \u201cA TIME TES \u2014 Ceyion Teas (BLACK 3 A THREE MINUTE INFUSION OF \"SALADA\u201d or NATURAL GREEN) Will give a Practical Demonstration of cup- drawing superiority that will convince the most fastidious - Sealed lead packets only.28c, 30c.40c, 50¢, 60c Per Pound.interest any manufacturer.; wed BOMBARDMENT OF PORTO CABELLO British Commodore Gives His Version of How it Happened GAVE AMPLE WARNING English Press Still Deploring Anglo- German Alliance as a Political ( Blunder.(Special to the Montreal Star.)

received with great heartiness and enthusiasm.He afterwards gave the health of the Canadian team, bxdding them a hearty welcome, and referring to the intimate business connection which existed between Belfast and the great Dominion of Canada.He was glid to have that opportunity of extending to our visitors a cordial welcome, and pleased to be in a position to give them that entertainment.Dr.Jack,

in Scotland.Following is a detailed Scottish account of the first match played by the All{ena- dan teem in Scotland: The first match of tbe Canadiana\u2019 Soot- tirh tour was played at Hamilton Crescent, (slasgow, in presence of à very gree and fashionable audience.Thé r, fortunately for the success of the game, was dry, although the footing was inchned to he soft, and against the speedy men of the Canadian back division.The Glasgow side underwent two cbanges, and there was a Jv of trouble before the final backs were ultimately fixed up, owing to so many beng unble to take part 'n the match.Finally Lyle wap played at half, instead of the original choic\u2014Jobo Knox\u2014and young Sloan, of the Academicale, filled the place of Frame, who was unfortunately invalided.The Canadians placed their best mde on the field, and without giving them too much played very well indeed.But to the game.The Glasgow captain opened the proceedings, and Scholefield replying satisfactorily, play settled at the centre.The home forwards were the first to make a move, but a passing run, inétiated by Greig, wes spoilt by DARLING, WHO NIPPED IN secured the pass, and was beyond \u2018the centre flag before he began what was a serious fault on the of the Colonialn\u2014pase ing forward.A long kick by Glasgow reach Tait, who had some difficulty in getting out of France's way, but he did cleverly got in his kick, which went to Russell, and, with the length, Purvis charging down the Academical Ls return, the visitors got within scoring distance.Inclination to spoilt a greet chance, and then the Glasgow three-quarters, passing With great and precision, got to the other end.eo Canadians at this mage were penalized for picking out of the scrum, but the kick produced mothing serious, and with the Canadian players again in possession, the game was once more transferred to Glas gow territory.The home players, owing to the a of the attacking side, quickly relieved, iad Tait had some difficulty in getting ri oppositi ion, he Succeeded, and Gillespie, following up well, collared Neilson near the centre.Give- and-take play followed, until France got away, looked like open score, when Bcholefield, with a effort, got to him, and bundled him into touch.Pur- ves bell 4 tcuous ith an fort which in his passing the neu ine, but, like the majority of his es, be \"*% INTENT ON PASSING when there was little need for it, and a bi chance was e Keen play followed, an then Louis Greig broke away with a fine run, which nearly ended in r to the visitors, but he wes ed close on the line, and the ball was ultimately got out of danger.The Glasgow side maintained their advantage, but nothing further than a touch downs resulted.Ogilvie Tras next conspicuous 8] ng Up à pass of © bone

the whole i pora encour aged by the ngrdganich EFFORT OF HIS COLLEAGUE, went off on his own account, and was with.Bod their advantage the Cane .n eir a , the Cana dans pressed severely, and their efforts were rewarded by a try from Powers, goal resulted, although.Tait's ef- credit, we must admit that they were several tiries frustrated, but uti ly France got over at the corner, too out, for Mi Milne to convert oi ui Glas- gows \u2018quarters, reig, who wna at this time playing grandly, were fairly aut- ralling the opposition, by their su- Fo Ny pasting.and although the vwitors\u2019 tackling was all that could be desired, they committed a breach, and from the penalty Milne kicked a waguificent' goal.After futile efforts to convert from another penalty, Glasgow were forced back, and ua tine effort by Powers deserved a better fate.The Canadians kept hammering at the Glasgow defence, but were unable to break it down, and just before time the home players got the ball out of danger, and won as stated by eleven points to three.The game was not a brilliant one, but there were SOME GOOD POINTS in it, and the play of the Canadians was suggestive of proepective improvement, Tait \u2014at full back\u2014played very well, and was plucky to a degree, but his kicking lacked power.The three-quarters were individually goad, and ull at times showéd good form, but, their lack of understanding und their crude passing rather spoilt their ef- forte.In the second half they meade some atonement for their previous deficiencies, und the efforts of Powers and Craig were excellent.The half-backs played their part well, the best being the old Lorettonian, Gillespie although Britton was by no means a dummy, The forwards were distinctly good; but, like the three-quarters, they were all in too much of a flurry to find someone to pass to, and would have succeeded better had they gone on their own wh.o they found an opening.The most prominent of the lot was Purvis, who not only dribbied well, but was ever on.the ball.Marshall was a good second, and the ekip- per a close third.Ogilvie was often con: spicuous, and near the finish Randale and DuMoulin put in some effective work.Tha Glasgow forwards were not so successful as the previous Saturday, and perhaps \u2018they rather UNDERESTIMATED THE OPPOSITION.Wingate was again the outstanding man, and, although he waa twice smiled at in ing efforts to get at the flying Powers, he nevertheless put in a lot of moat serviceable work.Milne was also as good, as was Scott, but (ireenlees was rather disappointing.Louis Greig was the best man on the Glasgow side, and 1 should say he has never distinguished himself more.His form of Saturday should get him a further chance in some of the international trials, and if he plays as he did on Saturday he might reach the ultimate.The three-quarters played well, France being the best, although Neil- son was Al, and Lloan, for a first attempt, gave a satisfactory account of himself.ln every way the match was a success, and | hope the Canadtans will be satisfied with the reception which was received from as thoroughly representative Glasgow crowd.Teams: Canada \u2014

3 and each province should have received ile share thereof.\u201d JOHN BULL ENTERS PROTEST AGAINST RUSSIA.CONSTANTINOPLE, January 6.\u2014Great Britain haa vigorously protested to the Turkish Government inet the permission fanted in September last to four unarmed ussian torpedo boat destroyers to through the Dardanelles, into the \u2018Black Sea, under the commercial flag of Russia.These vessels were about to start on the pro trip.British note rays the passsge of the Dardanelles by the torpedo boat destroyers would be a violation of the existing international treaties, and that if Russian warships are thus allowed to use the Dardanelles, Great Britain will reserve the right to demand similar privileges.The protest hae caused irritation in Rue- sian circles and concern on the part of the Turkish authorities, who fear that other wers will follow the example of Great ritain.BOER LEADERS MET CHAMBERLAIN AT GARDEN PARTY.PRETORIA.Transvaal, January 6.\u2014All doubts as to whether the Boers would participate in the entertainments given in honour of Colonial Becretary Chamberlain and Mrs.Chamberlain were dissipated by the appearance of Generals Botha, Delarey, Cron- re and Smutz, at De arden party given y the Governor y y.The attendance of the town Boers, however.was not large.Mrs.Chamberlain ie tactfully siding the Colonial Secretary im his pacificatory mission.When General e was mtrodue- ed she at immediately t firet did not catch his name, but she heard it was General Cron- Cure Him, neys one ounce of strength.My eppllance is the result of years You oug and many doctor bills.people near you whom test.The reason so many men neglect to like other things they have tried.last three years that I have been in people have been fully restored to haa pain, or a weak man or woman, and out money without result, try my Bel to gain by accepting my liberal offer.knowledge of electricity.which jour case receives speci clan w 1 have a nicely illustrated A POOR RHEUMATIC He Will Dose His Poor Weak Stomach With Drugs.Hoping Year After Year to Find a Dru Oh !

Bill Also Introduced jn House of Representatives \u2014 Operators Make New Move.WASHINGTON.January 6.-The situation was discussed in the Senate on Monday.Mr.Lodge prefaced his introduction of a bill suspending for ninety days the duty on coal with the statement that in New England there was much di-tress owing to the scarcity of coal, and that unless relief was afforded at once.a number of factories would have to shut down.He was aware, he said, that such a bill should ariginate from the House of Representatives, but it was lus desire to call the attention of the finance committee to the state of affairs.Mr.Culberson followed with a resolution providing for the removal of the duty on anthracite coal, and asked its immediate consideration.Mr.Platt (Conn.), objected, saying it was his understanding there was no duty on anthracite coal.Mr.Vest took exception to this state ment, and said that the Board of Cieu- eral Appraisers and President Roosevelt had decided that such a duty is imposed.Mr.Vest also introduced a resolution on the subject.Another resolution bearing on the subject of coal, introduced by Mr.Jones (Ark.), recited the charge of W.R.Hearst, that there was an illegal combination among certain railroads to control the shipment of anthracite coal and called on the Attorney- General for the evidence which it was alleged had been secured by him.It caused a lively debate.in which several Republican senators vigorously resented what they thought was a reflection on the Attorney-General.The discussion continued until 2 o'clock, when the resolution went over.Representative Powers {Mass}, in the House, offered a joint resolution suspending the operation of ail laws imposing tariff on coal of any kindjuntil November 1.1903.Senator Mason, of Illinois,

Next came a clumsy fumbling at the knob of our door, and I waa constrained to cry out, in a voice in which I intended to show unflinching courage, but with, alas, a violenb uivering\u2014 q \u201cWell, who's there?\u201d 1: D\u2019Abra, at the sound of my voice, immediately stood to his feet.His every sense had ite grasp upon the situation in a moment, and he observed\u2014 \u201cThe door is locked, sir.You have the key, and madame is waiting to enter.You will pot object to do the service.\u201d At his request or command\u2014his requests had for some time been gradually merging into commands\u2014I sprang back the bolt, apd threw open the door.D\u2019Abra, had made no mistake.It was the Frenchwoman herself, and she was alone, \u201cMadame has obeyed; she shall not suffer,\u201d was the greeting of D'Abra as he offered the wretched creature a chair.\u201cWe have a few questions which madame will hasten to answer.We have no time to lose.\u201d ; The flaming head leaned slightly towards him in sign that sbe had comprehended.The wide terror-troubled eyes under the heavy brow fixed their guze on his face.\u201cWe would know all you know about your visitors of yesterday,\u201d he signalled.\u201cI know nothing, monæeur.Strangers t is a week since the dark Monsieur came.He came first and alone, and engaged the rooms.Later came the handsome monsieur, young and lively, with the lady and the dark servant.They paid and departed late last night, the dark gentleman hastening away last.\u201d A \u201cIs that the whole of your knowledge ?\u201cEverything.\u201d - DAbra thereupon looked her through with his penetrating gaze until her eyes dropped.She fidgeted violently; she made \u2019 an attempt as if to rise like one in sleep, : and then sank still again.She spoke\u2014 \u201cEverything except\u2014\u201d ; \u201c] knew there was an exception.Pray explain, madame.\u201d .\u201cExcept the casket.They left a casket which I hid from all my companions.It 1s, I believe, a casket of jewels.\u201d .\u201cWe would see the casket, madame.Hereupon the Frenchwoman to the chimney, and, thrusting up her hand, produced from some cavily or ledge a beautiful ebony box, inlaid in a marvel lous design of ivory.It waa almost with heart-breaking reluctance that she handed it to D Abra, who, however, declined to receive it.\u201cTake it, sir: it is yours.There may be valuable information toerein.\u201d he said , when I greedily clutched at.it.and © immediately tried to open it.It resisted my every el- fort, however, so strong was the workmanship of it.oo On know the kind of casket: it is fash- joned of finest steel.Madame.will fetch us a hammer,\u201d commanded D'Abra.The woman was quick enough in returning with the required hammer, and | could not help noticing that her look was quickly undergoing a change.It meem~d as if the powerful influence wrought upon her by the doctor was fading.and that before long her actions would be quité inde ndent, and, therefore.da ous.D\u2019 Abra imeef now appeared too absorbed in the task of opening the box to notice her.l'ak- ing the hammer, 1 stiutk if upon the side in the manner directed: by him, and at length, with several heavy blows.succeeded in driving off a plate of steel that formed one of the ends.An eager search, voraciously overlooked by the barpy, found no diamonds, nor pearls, nop of any kind.(Clue?There was ement again!

©f decoration was picturesque and uncen- \u2018wentional.; The gallery frout was hung in white and blue, the driperies being treated in much \u201cthe same manner as those which covered the wuinscotung: that 1s they were oroa- mented with nautical devices, signal flags, anchors.knotted ropes, lie preservers, ete.Bencath the gallery uprmght posts had been erevied and these were hung with British flags (Union Jacks on blue fields), the draping being most artistic.The stage contained the principal feature -of the general scheme of decorations, Tt consisted of à large yacht built after the wvle of Trident, fully rigged, the sais of which were kept full of air through the medium of elevtric fans placed at the rear of the veswl.The vacht was gay dressed and presented a fine a)-pearance.It hore a in the ehape of trophies.TeCIOUs vial ge here were only four of them, but thev re present a great deal to the amateur freshwater vachtrmen.There was the Seawan- haka Cup.the proud possession of the Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club, won at Oyster Bay after a stubborn contest and held on Jake St.Louis againet all comers from the east.west and from over the seas;

Comprehensive Report on Removal of Garbage to Board of Health\u2014In 1901 67,058 Tons of Refuse Were Taken to Incinerator\u2014Every Ton Consumed Cost City 39 Cents.An interesting 1cport on the collection and dus the garbage, refuse, dead aur- n, as as on the street cleaning in tl:e city of Montreal hus beep submitted to the Provincial Board of Health by Dr.El- zear Pelletier, secretary of that body.Dr.Pelletier bas secured lus information from Air.J.E, Dore, sanitary engineer of the city, and from actual vbærvation of the conditions existing at the incinerators and al are destroved or dumped.He begins by defining what is understood iu Mon\u2019 real as houschold refuse.Contrary to the custom of a large number of tities In the United States and in Europe, the term here \u2018comprises kitchen waste, known in England as garbage: secondly rubbish of all sorts, broken crockery.bottles, tin cans, waste paper, rags.old boots.straw, broken furmiture, ete, called In

total figures are available, 85,643 single loads, representing 67.058 tons of refuse, were taken up by the vehicles of the Incincration Department.DIVIDED INTO THREE DISTRICTS.The city is divided into three dustricts, made up as follows: The East district comprising all that portion of the city cast of Bt.Denis atreet; tbe Centre district, comprising that portion between St.Denis street on the cast, and McGill, Beaver Hall Hill and University streets on the west, wirile the Western division includes the re mainder of the city.These are subdivided into three sections, so that cach portion may be attended to twice a week.The refuse of the West district only is incinerated, that from the Centre and Eastern districts is uved.te fill up diquséd quarries.The principal of these is that of Laurier avenue, in St, Denis ward, \u2018and another is an old ra vine on Frontenac street, Hochelaga ward.These are almost entirely filled np.From CENA han hak we dt | AF = these dumps to the farthest portions of the Fastern and Central districts the carts bave :to travel threc and a half to four miles.Ef- \u201ctorts have heen made to have the refuse in these dumping grounds covered with earth.Thows making excavations in any portion \u2018of the city are invited to bring the ground to the dumpe for that purpose, but this supply has so far proved inadequate, and much of the refuse still remains uncovered.AT THE INCINERATOR._ The longest, from the limits of the Western n vo the Thackeray in- cimerntor, situate on the Gregory farm.is two miles and a Malf.Up ta a recent date, the refusé was put into the incinerator with \u201cout any separation of the ashes from the garbage.A centrifugal separator has recent: y been installed, however, for operation \u2018during the winter, when the ashes are most -plentiful.- Tha -Thadke néfnerator, erect- led in 189%6% a Gost SF is a crematory \u201cfurnacdé- \u201cBuropéar typé, with sloping arbege chule and grate.The sloping gar-

fact.since the greater number of incinerators on the continent of America have not given similar results: a cireum- tance which has given rise to the often stated opinion that such auto-combustion was im ible even when the furnace was fod only with refuse, unmixed with ashes.The ronson given in support of that opin- jon is the quantity of moisture contained in the garbage which in some cases is as high ns eighty per cent.The result here in Montreal seems to favour the theory enunciated by many students of such questions that the loping chute of the style of the Thackeray incinerator offers consulerable advantage.by favouring the evaporatiun of the moislure before the refuse reaches the fire.The cost of the incineration of a ton of garbage is well establisbod ab thirty-nine cents.MEANS TO BE EMPLOYED.Dr.Pelletier, citer dealing with facts In connection with the service, offers a serres of observations op the means to be employed to collect and dispose of garbage, reuse.otc.At the present time the city prescribes no special receptacle for- garbage.At the present time.\u201cmany exceedingly defective receptacles seen in the streets and lanes.Any: ix be ses a flour borrel to a fruit basket may seen.\\ SEVERAL INCONVENIENCES.tem offers several inconveniences trous hy ienic view pointe The empty flour barrel, for instance, moon ceamen to be tight: it has no cover, and in winter the dismeter of the top beng less than that of the middle, the household refuse freence in, and often can be removed only with the greatest difficulty._.: Dr.Pelletier expresses the opinion that if the city does not prescribe, it should, at Jeast, recommend a wooden receptacle, with a cover to preven re of foul odours and to pro- tact the contents from rain or snow.To shout uniformity ih these receptacles, the city should furnish them to the \u2018ditisens strictly at cost.The recommenda be used, instead of galvaniz- ad iton as ip the United States, 1s due to \u201c4 AN IMMEDIATE

citizefis generally follow the example set by some of the Chinese laundries in tying up the paper in secure bundles to be removed by the garbage collectors with other Tels.AD CONDITION OF TIfË LANES.~The unsanitary condition of the lanes affords ground tor several pertinent observations.During the last fifteen years, he observes the levél ot some lanes has risen from one to two feet.He recommends that the city should 1uke over all the lanes, which are uow private property, and puve them.This would be the surest means of preventing the establishment ot dumps in the residential districts of the oty, and prevent the successive and permanent ace cumulations of filih which wil alinost _n evitubly go on unless this is dene.THERE ARE MANY CAUSES The causes for the bad condition of the lanes ave multiple.Many famihes, otherwise particular about cleaniiness oi their yards seems to regard it as of no concern whatever, as regards the lane which bonl- ers their property.Sometunes tue refuse ix dumped down a chute from a second or third story, and the receptacle supposed to be under the chute bas been removed or filled to overflowing Then another prolific source of uncleanliness in the lanes is the presence of the rag pickers.They frequently dump the receptacles, and search through the refuse for whatever may smt themselves, and leave the remainder on the ground.The scavenger comes along and dumps the receptacle into the cart.but neglects to pick up the retuse all around.During the winter, especially in February March, the lanes frequently become J impassable, and after the receptacles are fillel the families dump the refuse into the lane.lt remains there until late in Mav.Through obwervation during the Jast two or three winters, Dr.Pelletier has come to the conclumon that in most eases the blockade of the lanes 13 due to the shovelhng of snow in order to open the gates from the yards into the lanes.He recommends that citizens be ordered to hang the gates so that they should open towards the yar.or at least that a gate be cut a couple of feet high, above the snow level, through which the receptacle for garbage could be put out into the lane.IGNORANCE OF REGULATIONS To overcome the ignorance of civic regulations which exists among the citizens gen erally, Doctor Pelletier recommends that copies of the by-law regarding the collee.tion of garbage printed in three or four languages and distributed from house to house.As to the rag pickers, they can be restrained under section 2 of by-law No.143, which forbids rag pickmg in any barrels, or refuse receptacles in streets or lanes.The police could easily secure convictions under that by-law bv which the offenders are mulcted in a fine of MO or a penalty of two months\u2019 imprisonment for cach offence.The incineration department's scavengers should also be instructed to he more careful im the use of the shovel, in picki up everything that falls to the Broun while they are dumping the refuse receptacles into the carts.AN INSPECTOR NEEDED.To enforce these regulations, Dr.Pelletier recommends the appointment of an juspec- tor of lanes, whose duty would be to wee that the lanes are kept clean.Such an appointment.he points out, would not mean a larger expenditure by the city, for at would save the large sums, amounting to between 3.000 and $4,000 a year for cleaning up the lanes each spring.\u2018 Discnaring the day or mght removal ot garbage, Dr.Pelletier expresses the behef that a day service for the lanes and mgbt service for the streets would be best.Jf that cannot be arranged, however, he re comumends a return to tHe mght system ot collecting garbage.In that case, each waggon should be provided with a powertul lamp, which could allow the men to see all the receptacles and the garbage that might fall to the ground in the process of dumping.He also recommends that the waggons be provided with wooden covers, and that the men be given proper uniforms and over alls, which would improve their appearance.and couduce to hygiene among the people.These overalls should be removed, and a bath taken at a wash-room provided by the city before the men returned to thew homes.THOROUGH INCINERATION.The desirability of arranging for the in- aneration of all the garbage of the city 14 also insisted upou.\u2018The present system ot fumpnng 18 attended by dangers coming from the effluvia which constantly arises from the dumps over which an insufficiens quantity of ground has been scattered.In conpection with the removal of dead amwals, Dr.Pelletier remarks that the only interest manifested in the establish: ment kept by the contractor for the removal of dead animals and refuse meal and fish, is that the.establishment shall be located more than a mile from the limits of the city.The contract calls for the use of closed waggons.but a dray is tolerated in SEIDMÉTE and an ordinary sleigh in winter for thé removal nf large animals like horses, efc, - The doctor concludes his report on the subject by the following remarks: \u201cThere dows not yet exist in Montreal a knackery yard, built according to the exigencies of hygiene.The installations which have been so far made outside of the city are not stationary.and they have often been displaced through squat by the municipalities under whose Jurisdiction they happened to fall., \u201cOur board has often been asked to look into the nuisance created by thess estab lishments and has suggested the construe- tion of a modern knackery establishment such as those which exist in France but.without any result so far.7.797 HORSES LICENSED.There ure 7.707 horses under license in the city.and probably as many kept by private parties.There are 655 licensed cows, and probably 150 kept by families who are not milk dealers.imating that each of these animals should produce two cart loads of manure a month, that would mean 55,200 cart loads of manure, the sale of which to farmers would yield a revenue far greater than the cost of collection and removais > be mess , After enumerating the figures concerning the cleaning of the and the removal of the smow, Dr.Pelletier concludes as 1.lows: \u201cIt is notorious that the streets of Montreal are in an intolerable state, though tolerated.The paved streets even, are no exception to \u201cthe rule.The durability of their paving does not compare with thet of other cities, whose cH- mate is at least nearly similar to ours.The causes for this difference in Montreal are, probably: lat, the quality of the work in certain cages; 2nd, paving is often laid down too soon after excavations; Srd, ne igence in immediately repairing the de- ective ta; 4th, the facility with which reveral eloctrie or other companies, in turn, tear up our streety a fact not forescen by the Road .; \u201cAs Le the cjesntiness, of certain trente it would certainly improved i pple kept from throwing refuse, paper and dirty

to the Atlantic seaboard.The Canadian railways, with a desire to disturb as little as possible the commercial conditions, have mot followed the Umted States railways to the extreme in this

OTTAWA, January 6\u2014Despite the fact that to-day is a departmentai holiday, the Railway Committee of the Privy Council sat to open a list containing 23 appeals.Sharp on tume, Hon.A.(i.Blair, Sir Wm.Mutuck, Hon.Charles Fitzpatrick, and Hon.James Sutherland, who formed the couri, entered.The first case was the application of the corporation vf the city of St.Henri re the opening of (Gareau street across the tracks 01 the Grand Trunk Railway.No one appeared, and as this cuse has Been on the order paper for court after court, it was struck off wltogether.\u201cWe muzt sunnnarily dispose of these cases which have been on the paper book for many years,\u201d sad Mr.Blur.\u201cunless the parties are ready to go on.\u201d On a motion for a vanation of the order of July 9 last in the matter of the Canadian Northern Company, re crossings between Port Arthur and Fort Wilkam, Mr.Z.A.Lash, in a lengthy speech, attacked the propriety of authorizing the inwtalla- tion of interlocking and derailing apperatus at crossings.He maintained that the derailing apparatus was dangerous and asked for an investigation.He also protested against the principle that the junior road should be saddled with the whole expense of providing these safeguards for the public.At present the jun- jor road was saddled with the cost of installation and maintenance in order to accommodate.He protested that this was not fair and eyuitable under the meaning of the Railway Act.LL In answer to a remark from Sir Wilham Mulock, Hon, A.G.Blair said he bad is sued a circular asking railway companies interested to be present at t hearing of this appeal.Sir William pointed out that Mr.Lash was really arguing in favour of reversing the railway policy of the committee for years past.; Hon.A.G.Blair thought it would not take Mr.Lash long by a process of evo- Tution to get down to the proposition that the public should pay for this protection and the railway companies merely contii- bute a trifle._ ; Mr.lash said the cost of protection should be fairly assessed between the two lines.whilst the cost of maintenance should be on the basis of use oi the crossings.THE C.PP.R'S ANSWER.No other counsel supported Mr.Lash and Mr.Creelman, of the C.P.R., replied.He said Mr.Lash had shown how much could be said for the taking of the property of onc rajway by another without cumpen- sation a the, necessity for the committee working on the lines of a set pokey.He did not propose to discuss the academic quertions raved by argued \u2014 Mr.Lash and strictly against the motion on the paper.The committee wae unanimously in favour of the interlocking derailing appe- ratus.Mr.Creelman ed that the older railway having ves rights, a new road which would have to pay dollar for dollar for right of way to private persons could not be allowed to take the older road\u2019s hne and use the right of way without compensation.- Mr.Blair said the order of July last was the coroHary of an order of January 14.1800, and tbe appeal was dismissed.He must say there had been indifference on the part of the Canadian Northern Company to the order of the committee in their having taken no action to obey the order.The apparatus must be placed in June 1 next.MONTREAL TERMINAL CASE HEARD NEXT.The application of the Montreal Term- mal Railway Company for approval of the place and mode of crossing the Montreal Etreet Railwav at the intersections of St.Andre and Rachel streets and at Duluth avenue and St.Denis sireet, was granted m nce with an agreement handed in by 1.The application of the Montreal Term inal Railway Company for an order modi fying the order of the 4th of November last with reference to the extension of Forayth street, N , underneath the tracks of the Canadian Pacific Ry., s0 as to make the tunnel or \u201cequbway necessitated thereby 40 fect in width, instead of 12 feet, had not been reached st lunch time.It ia learned that the aty\\gnd Terminal Company have arrived at an agreement, whereby the application is to granted, the city of Montreal paying $14,000 {owanis the increased cost of construction, .and ing to pay a proportion of the \u2018cost ol maintenance.The C.P.R., however, have an application to increase the width\" x adding the extra line to their road.ho committee adjourned.ONTARIO POLITICAL RUMOUR.\" (Special to the Montreal Star) TORONTO, January 6.\u2014A big sensation was sprung m political circles to-day, when it was announced that Hon.E.J.vis, Commissioner of Crown Lands, hod resigned his seat in North York, or in other words, had decided to give up the fight against the protest entered by T.H.Len- pox, the defeated Conservative candidate in the last election.Davis Denies it.The following statement is issued by Hon.E.J.Davis, Commissioner of Crown Lands: Contradiot absolutely the state ment that I have resigned my seat either in the Legisisture or the Government.ét CANADIANS PERISHED IN CHICAGO FIRE.CHICAGO, January 6.\u2014 Although the woman and her daughters who perished in the Somerset hotel fire, were atered under the name of P , Edward Saund a coachman, declares them to have been.hi wife and daughters.Seunders is eaid to bave been known in Toronto as Perry, here he lived formerly and assumed the w former name when he came to Chicago.A young waman who died on the way to the bospital, and who is the fourth victim, is now believed to have been another daughter of Mrs.Perry.Quebec Curlers Lost ~~ (Special to the Montreal Star.)

until 1887, when a beginning was made by the introduction of a bill for jury trial, one of tha least important of the measures pro- NUMEROUS SURPRISER.There were many surprises outside of the Mayoralty vote.Aki.Geo.MeMurrich, vice-chairman of the Board of Control, went down in Ward Three, being replaced by .J.failed to get elected in Ward Two.The new man in Ward One representation, Mr.Chisholm, headed the poll.replacing Ald.Frame.retired: Dr.Noble, mn the Second, replaces Ald.Lamb; Dr.W.T.Har rison.and Stephen W.Burns in the Fourth replace Urqubart and Crane: J.R, L.Starr in the Fifth, defeated All.Alex.Stewart, and J.II.MeGhie, takes Ald.Harvey Halla place in Ward fix.There will not be many changes in the composition of the Public School Bound.mised, the most notable being the di : - t no 2 2 disappearance Rut reforma, even when begun, came of Dr.W.W.en, who sat on the board slowly, two slowly in fact to satisfy the peo.for 36 years, and the election in his stead of G.R.Geary.The by-law to spend $175,000 on a new water works engine was carried by 3.615 to PATE LN ple and the political opponenis of the Lib.crals.The matter berame so acute in 1888 that the Cabinet of Nagasta resigned becuse of a trivial question of military etiquette.The Queen Regent called upun Sagasta to form another Cabinet.which he promptly .did, Koure of the reforms promised by the Sagasta Ministry were then fulfilled.ANOTHER RESIGNATION.Early in 1900 another resignation of the Ministry was announced and again the Queen turned to Nagasta to help her out of QUIET DAY IN OTTAWN.(Special to the Montreal Star.)

the Phillips Stock Company.MELODRAMA AT THE FRANCAIS A New Actress at the Theatre des Nouveautes\u2014Theatre Royal's Clever Company.\u201cLiberty Pelles,\u201d one of the most successful of the recent musical comedies, from the box office standpoint, bad its first Montreal performance at the Academy of Music last evening.There was present one of the la t Monday n.ght houses of the season,made up very largely of McGill men above stairs and other men below.The comedy is divided into three acts, the first à dormitory of a young ladies\u2019 seminary, the second a cooking school which is oper- ated by a couple of young women who have been dismissed from the seminary, while ; the third act takes place at a Florida hotel.| Undoubtedly the drawing card of the whole rformance is enclosed in the first acene.: l'his piece de resistance, however,is not halt | so naughty as it sounds.At the same time it has the merit of being new and giving | opportunity for a number of specialties.Asa matter of fact the \u2018whole performance from start to finish is a series of vaudeville turns strung together on ths flimsi- | est kind of a plot.Harry G.lfoil is easily the centre of attraction.He is a mimic of undoubted merit.and his specialties were enjoyed thoroughly.He imitates the var- jous animals in a really wonderful manner.Other specialties wort) hile were those introduced by Violet Dale Katie Rooney, who is a8 popular as her old father was; Augusta Gloge.who did some clever work at the piano, after the style of George Gros- smith, and the McCoy sisters, who are leasing graceful dancers.Aside from possibly one or two songs the music is not striking, in fact the composers thereof have written many things which are better.A notable exception to tha is the \u2018Yankee Tar,\u201d sung by Mr.T.C.Marl-wé.\u201cDe Trop,\u201d sung by Mr.Harry Linton, caught the house, hod had to be repeated several times.The chorus is composed of good- looking.agile young women, with no voices\u2019 to speak of.ey make the most of their parts, which are more important to the: whole than the average chorus.and fill the stage and the eye very well indeed.The piece ie well sf and costumed and to those who enjoy this sort of performance\u2014 and they are unquestionably many\u2014it is fairly satisfactory.Proctor\u2019s Theatre.David Belasco's comedy drama, \u2018\u2018May Blossom,\u201d was v creditably produced at Proctor\u2019s Theatre last evening by the Phil lips Stock Company.The play itself is well constructed, and lends itself readily to opportunities for good work on the part of the company.The story is a simple one.Steve Harland (J.Henry Kolker) wins his wife, May Blossom (Victory teman), through deceit and treachery to a iormer accepted lover of the gwrl, Richard Ashcroft (Barry O'Neil).May Blossom, through Steve not delivering a message, thinks Ashcroft dead and afterwards marries Steve, who can never summon up sufficient cou to tell his wife of his duplicity.Steve suddenly appears on the wcene two years later and has an interview with the wire revealing her husband's behaviour.They all separate.Ashcroft disappears.Steve goes to the wars and afterwards on a Jong Arctic expedition, finally revuiuumg to Dis home and ming reconciled to bis wife.The parts were wel] taken by the different members of the company.Miss Bate man plaved a rather mature May Blossom with skill and insight into the dramatic poe- bilities of the piece.In the scene where she parts from Steve the work was particularly good.J.Henry Kolker, as Steve Harland, again demonstrated his abilities as a leading man, playing the part with dignity and power.An old favourite, Mr.J, BH.Walker, as Owen Hathaway, was also much appreciated.Not the least enjoyable part of the production was the dry humour of Tom Blossom (James Durkin) and the conscientious, effective work of Uncle Bartlett (George Pauncefort), especially ifi the latter's scene with May Blossom, in Act 1V, As Deborah, Miss Katherine Clinton satisfactorily eustamed an onerous part, her comedy work materially brightening and enhancing the performance.The stage eet- tings were very handsome, the bay fieid scene being particularly beautiful.Theatre Francais.At the Francais the play.\u201cFor He Children's Sake,\u201d is something long to be remembered by those whose souls delight in lurid melodrama.The villain in the play got himself most justly disliked by the occupants of the second gallery, and was hooted and hissed in the moet lusty manner.\u2018 He certainly merited the expressions of dislike showered upon him.For instance.he passes his spare time in drag ging his two little stepchildren around the stage by the.hair of their heads.Inter spersed with these pleasantries are sundry sinches inflicted by brutal fingers on the ittle white arms.A ferociouplooki horsewhip is also much in evidence, once this model stepfather fires his little stepson across the stage, happily to land in the arms of a devoted clown.To bis wife the stepfather is equally solicitous in his attentions.He threatens to brain her; knocks her about like a football; makes her ride in a circus when at death's door; shakes her on her dying bed, and leaves a train of pulpbur behind him generally.But the li stepson gets even.He shoote the evil stepfather dead as the Making a CLEARING SALE.3.000 Pairs of Dorothy Dodd \u2018Boots and Shoes will arrive on March let.We must make s place for them.All other lines Men\u2019s Department.must go, no matter at

with all Mr.Blike's energy and veliemence, and the Government gave his representations the most serious consideration, but in the course of time they reached a decision which greatly displeased Mr.Blake, while immensely benehi- ing Ontario.IN HIS LETTER MR.BLAKE SPITS HIS MALEDICTION.\u201d The capitals are ours.They emphasize what is plainly a mean innuendo, unjess the implication can be clearly, positively, absolutely justified by stated facts.The Globe Goes not slate the facts, 1f there be any, which it hints.It stands, thereiore, in the position of suggesting that an eminent Liberal, son ot one great Liberal and brother of another, a man who has tought a hundred fights tor Jiberalism and never one against it, a man who has always been respected not valy for uprightness, but for signal piety, has \u201cspat out a malediction\u2019 against a Ministry of his own party from no Ligher motive and with no better reason than that the Ministry would not give his clients what he tried to get for them.On the face of it no tale can be :n ridicuious.It imphes that a lawyer an durated by immense experience has been exasperated to the degree of extreme revengefulness by merely failing to win a chent's case.ore The information.if any, on which the Globe goes must have been supplied by the Koss Ministry.Not otherwise than by placing it convincingly beiore the publi: can the
