consequently it'is surmised that seeing the position in which he was, Lambert set fire to the hut and committed suicide.This happened on Saturday evening, and whether or not, Lambert is in the ruins cannot be as- after the debris has cooled.Coroner Langiais, of Trois Pistoles, began an enquete on Kelly's remains on Saturday.\u2014sremmmmns HOSPITAL PATIENTS IN FIRE PANIC.One Lite Lost and Several Other Deaths May Result.Ind.April 18.\u2014While the city fire department, reinforced wag taxed to its ut- | otel.Sunday morning, an alarm was turned tn from St.Vincent's Hospital.When the first fire company arrived one life had been lost, and several persons had been severely injured in a Hirriet Leahy jumped from the fourth floor and was instantly killed.Miss Kate Beach is believed to be fatally injured.She fell from the third floor, while trying to escape by means of a rope made of bedclothing.Sister Superior Stella, Wm, Schneider, and .Henry Nicholas suffered \u2018from shock, All had just been operated upon, Several other nurses and attendants were more or less bruised.The panic that raged on the third and fourth floors continued until jong after the fire had been extinguished.Many of the patients, who.had re- epntly undergone operations, became frantic, and made violent efforts to escape.The attending physiclans are fearful that fatalities may result to those whose wounds from operations had not yet healed.The fire in the Occidental Hotel started early Sunday, \u2018and for two hours threatened to destroy the prin- ci retail district.The hotel was filled with guests, and a panic was narrowly averted.There ere many narrow escapes from flames and suffocation, the inmates being compelied to leave the building clad only in their night robes.The loss is estimated at $76,000.Every fire company in the city was summoned to fight the fire.- ;

that we should undertake to pay the expenses of governing a province which would return precious little revenue to our coffers; and that we should have to pay for a commercial equipment for Newfoundland to put its people on a level with those of our own Maritime Provinces.Newfoundland is a rich country, but she is unexploited.Capital will be required, and we have an abundance of \u201ccall\u201d for our capital in our own country for years to come.Individually, it is as open to us to make money out of Newfoundland now, as it would be if she were a member of the Dominion: while, in the latter case, we would be compelled to pay the lion's share of the cost of her necessary railways, harbours, publt.works and the like.Then there is the question of the command of the gulf.We would like that to be in lanadlan hands, but we are not worrying especially so long as it is under British control; and under | | -\u20147*Brush control ft Will be as long as there is a British Empire.All sentiment aside, our commerce is as safe to-day as it would be if Newfoundland had the power to send a number of members to Ottawa\u2014members who would be sure to have a finger in every budget of expenditure.Now, this does not mean that the majority of Canadians are not in favor of union.They are.But they are not too well pleased to be told persistently that the people of Newfoundland will not think of such a thing so long as they | can possibly get along without tt: but that, if bankruptcy stares them in the face, they will permit us to lift them out of their troubles.We are not eagerly waiting for a job of that char- A QUESTION OF GOOD FAITH.In the Independent (New York) of the 10th March last an article was published under the title of \u201cWhy 1 gave up the Ministry.\u201d The article in Question was somewhat fully discussed in The Star of the 14th of the same month, its statements having been.accepted as made in good faith.We the more readily assumed this to be the case from the fact that the Editor of the Independent, in a note wed to \u2018the article, stated that he had submitted.%.to Wilfrid L.Rob- Ldins, D.D., Dean of the General Theo- Jogical (Episcopal) Seminary in New York.\u201chnd had recelved it back with the simple comment that \u201cgo far as ene can judge from his (the writer's) words, the distinctively spiritual aspect of life seems never to have dawn- ad on him.\u201d Dean Robbing, it will be: observed, neither called In question - the writer's facts\u2014thoukh he was certainly in & good position to do so if they whie incérrect\u2014nor hinted that they \u2018\u2019suéiestéd'a need for careful verification.What Dean Robbins, howeyer.omitted .to do the Living Church of Milwaukee comes forward to do.\u2018Having made the statement of tue writer Ir thé Independent that he graduated at a theplogical seminary #it years ago in a class of thirty.the bests Jot ekquirs, \u2018the Editor of the Living Church claims to have ascer- ber of those who, after ~~ THE WAR SITUATION, | THE PASSING HOUR~ The destruction of the Petropaviovsk is now asserted to have been accomplished by an elaborate system of counter-mines laid by the Japanese during the night of April 13th and 13th.If the report is true, and it seems to be no, the Japs have now got the Port Arthur fleet pretty well bottled up, for all that Admiral Togo will have to do will be to see that the Russians have no opportunities for removing the mines, really been rendered harmless for offensive cperations, the Japanese land campaign will be greatly facilitated.Already it Is reported that a fleet of twenty-six Japanese war vessels and a hundred trunsports have been seen the Gulf of Pechlll, north of Port Arthur, stealning northward and supposed to be bound for Kalo'Chau, southeast of New Chwang.Exactly where, or at how many points the Japs may effect the landing of troops north of Port Arthur, is matter for conjecture only, but the isolation of Port Arthur rmiay be expected to take place in the very near future.If the Port Arthur fleet has in fession 1s wholly Incorrect.There js only one Episcopal Theological semli- nary, he tells us, in the country whose graduating classes number as high as thirty; and all the graduates of that seminary of the years 1898 and 1897\u2014 the only two years to which the writer in the Independent can be supposed to have referred\u2014are at this moment in the church, with two exceptions for the year 1898, and one for the year 1897.The statement in the Independent was that ten had fallen out from the ranks of the students of a single year.Of course here je a glaring discrepancy: but until we know positively that the same seminary is referred to by the writer in the Independent and by the editor of the Living C'urch, there is no absolute question of veracity involved.It is hardly likely that a writer of so much Intelligence as the author of the article would palm off on the Editor of the Independent gross misstatements, which a very little enquiry would serve to disprove.We assume the Independent will call upon its contributor for some answer to the criticism of the Living Church, and should any such answer be forthcoming we shall lay it before our readers.RIFLE CLUBS SHOULD BE FREE.The discussion which has been in progress in our correspondence columns as to the amount which it costs members of rifle clubs to prepare themselves to protect the country against a foreign invader, raises automatically the question in most minds, \u201cWhy should it cost them anything?\u201d Usually a nation expects to pay something to its soldiers.Tommy Atkins is commonly represented to us as a much abused person, because he only gets \u201ca shilling a day\u201d from an ungrateful and unappreciative Motherland: but it hag never occurred to the minds of the most economical masters of the War Office that Tommy should be expected to work for nothing, to \u201cfind himself,\u201d and to pay for his ammunition, Ah! but, it will be said, this is a far different matter.A rifle club is not a regiment, and its members are not even militiamen.But when we come to look into the question closely, is it mo different a matter?What does the Government encourage rifle clubs for?Is it merely concerned to entice a certain number of young men to take more out-door exercise than they do now?Does it simply desire to give them practice in shooting so that they may win prises at the fall fairs or shine at a slaughter of \u201cclay pigeons?\u201d Not exactly! The frank and proper purpose of encouraging the formation of rifle clubs js to produce a generation of young Canadians who can shoot straight with a military rifle, and so will serve effectively under conditions of modern warfare if they should suddenly be called upon to defend the country.It has been discovered that marksmanship is so great a thing in war to-day that drill and manoeuvring become relatively unimportant.Target practice is the \u201cdrill\u201d of our time; and to get young men to take target practice is equivalent to having persuaded them to undergo a drill-train- ing some years since.In other words, the rifle clubs will turn out a body of young Canadians who can be whipped into capital shape as effective defensive soldiers In a very short time should the occasion arise.They will be worth far more than drilled militia men who cannot shoot.The combination would be better.of course; but.if we cannot have both, the rifle club will supply the beat part of the tralning.and the only part which cannot be quickly acquired Thus, for Canadian purposes, the rifle clubs are exceedingly important parts of the defensive military establishment: and it is fully as absurd for the Government to let them languish simply because it will not grant them enough money to pay practice expenses, as it would be for the British Government, which must have a regular army, to expect Tommy Atkins to work for nothing and pay car-fare.If the young men who join these clubs give the country their time In exchange for the good sport they get on the ranges, that is all that ought to be expected of them.They should not be asked In addition to pay out of their own pockets for the privilege of thus preparing themselves to recruit an army of defence: and they should not, at the very worst, be compelled to pay such large sums as some of our correspondents show target practice now to cost.With proper encouragement, our rifie clubs would be hoth popular and \u2018populous; and the country ,would be supplied at very trifling expense Jyith precizely that form of protection which familiarity with the rifle put so efficl- ently into the hands of the Boers R|ir Michael Hicks-Berach throws the weight of his Influence against the adoption of the metric system.It is to be expected that certain stalwart old Britons will stand by the inch and the shilling simply because they are British.It is this spirit which has made the British, people such splendid mia- sionaries of British institutions.But in the swift campetition of modern life, Britain will send out fewer missionar- y a hits further atatement as les of trade and commerce if she in- | atots upon handicapping herself with a cumbersome system of weights and measures.She is suffering all along the line from just this apirit of change- lessness: and she had better learn to accept improvements and \u2018\u2018short cuts,\u201d Ho matter where they come from.A decimal system of colnage and the metric system of weights and measures should be addéd to her new business fittings without delay.The Finance Committee has taken a sensible course in recommending the City Council to engage the services of Mr.P.W.St.George as consulting engineer.He ought to be able to save the city the amount of salary proposed to be offered to him many times over.MR.BLAIR\u2019S ABLE DOCUMENT.Referring to the Blair memorandum of December, 1902, the Hamliton Herald (Independent) says: \"An important and Interesting disclosure is made by the Montreal Star.It is.that on December 10, 1902.the Hon.A.G.Blair, then Minister of Railways, submitted to his Cabinet colleagues a memorandum on the subject of a transcontinental railway polley.The Montrea) Star prints the memorandum in full.It ls a document which is likely to become historical, and its present publication is timely.\u201cIn this document Mr, Blair's expert knowledge of the railway business and his grasp of the railway situation in Canada are clearly revealed.He makes a powerful plea for the acceptance of the principle of Government ownership in the construction of the proposed transcontinental line.supporting his plea by evidence of the prac- ticabllity of the principle drawn from the experience of many countries in the application of it.The right thing te do.according to his opinion.is to extend the Intercolonial to the lakes by the purchase of the Canada Atlantic, and obtain traffic arrangements with the Canadian Northern between the lakes and Winnipeg.But his ideal plan is a railway from coast to coast all owned and controlled by the Government.\u201d After quotations from the document referred to, the paper sums up: \u201cWe regard it as a great pity that the Minister of Railways failed to win over his colleagues to his views.It 1x unfortunate from a national point of view.and it is likely to prove unfortunate also from a Liberal point of view.There is much in the Blair plan to arouse public enthusiasm.It appeals to thé national spirit: it would be sure to enlist public support, not merely as a business proposition, hut ax a grea! patriotic work.Compared with it the policy adopted by the Government reems a thing of shreds and patches\u2014a conglomeration of compro- T memorandum\u2019 at that critical mises the effect of which is to secure for the promoters and the G.T.R.company the maximum of benefit and for the Canadian people the minimum.\u201cIn defending the appointment of Mr.Blair ito the chairmanship of the Rallway Commission Sir Wilfrid Laurier sald that Mr.Blair was the best man in the country for the position.If that statement was correct, Mr.Plair has a larger knowledge of Canadian rallway conditions and a clearer conception of Canadian rallway needs than any other man.And this is the man whose proposals, made after long and careful study of the transcontinental railway problem, the Government rejected.\u201d The Mysterious Memorandum.(Toronto Sunday World.) The mystery of the publication of the Blair memorandum has been a fruitful subject of discussion for the past three days.The memorandum was sent to the Government on December 10, 1902, and it is indeed singular that after maintaining a masterly exclusiveness for a year and five months it suddenly falls into the hands of R.I.Borden and almost simultaneously into ghe columns of the Montreal Star.t the first suspicion prevailed that Mr.Blair himself had given out the memorandum.This was an unreasonable theory.If Mr.Blair had intended to make his memorandum public he would have done 8o when his anger ran high and his resentment keen, away back in those sultry days eight months ago, when he made war on the Government with every weapon which he could readily command.The publication of un me would have been the strongest kind of support to his position.It would have proved his political foresight and enforced beyond any argument which he made in the House his policy of extending the Intercolonial westward.Mr.Blair could have no object in making the memorandum public, now that the mamorandum was stolen and that he ia out of public life and can have no political motives to serve.Neither is he on intimate, or even friendly, terms with any member of the Opposition, who would be at all likely to betray his confidence.Suspicion for the time bas passed from Mr.Blair to some unknown official in the Department of Railways and Canals.The member for South Essex in his speech last Thursday made the direct statement that R.L.Borden knew it was stolen.This was, à grave charge, and one which Mr.Borden could not allow to pass unnoticed.No one who knows R.L.Borden would admit Into his mind a suspicion such as the member for South Essex expressed.The only question is whether Mr.Borden may have hiid palmed off on him as a document secured by proper means papers which someone obtained by doubtfu! methods.The truth is bound to come out.and it will not be long in coming.The Government has turned loose almost its entire force of secret service agents, and it will spon know whether it has to reckon with an enemy in Hon.A.G.Blair, or to apply the scalping knife to officials In the Department of Rallways,at present unknown.TO-NIGHT\u2019S APPOINTMENTS, cademy\u2014'Red Feather.\u201d roctor\u2019s\u2014\u2018\u2019Under Bouthern Skies.* nu Theatre Francais \u2014 \u201c King of Detec.ves.\" Royal\u2014\u201cA Night on Broadway.\u201d Nouveatues\u2014'\"\u2018Les Scenes de la vie de Boheme.\" .RUMMAGE SALE.\u2014 The ladies 1 charge of the industrial classes at 238 St.Antoine street, the new mission rooms of the Church of St.James the Apostle, wish to thank all persons who ccntributed to the success of the RU: - mage Sale on Saturday, April 16, either by donations or assisting at the sale _And if you seek the reason why.ov Bl A Frenk Munsey, the magazine man, Mas decided that he cannot run a newspaper.It takes more thun & fow theatrical photos to make & sucoess of a newspaper.Rudyard Kipling says that he thought out \u201cOur Lady of the Snows\" while \u2018cycling on Sunday.Another proof of the vicicLsness of Sunday desecration.Now smallpox has broken out in the Russian army.Somebody must have \u2018\u2019lou-dooed\u2019\u2019 the Bear.Ross, of Ontario, 18 sald to be building bis *\u2018platform\u2019 for the approaching elections, and every section of the party 15 expected to bring a \u201cplank.\u201d \u201cMinfita\u2019\u201d are as good as any, as the \u2018platform\u2019 only need hang together till polling day.The rumour that American naval off}- cers are helping the Japs is discredited.They are more apt to be with the Russian feet, judging by the ease with which the Russian ships run into things.Se Mulock policy Is that it Is terribly wrong for à member of Parllament to have a \u201cfrank,\u201d use a mail-bag, or get an office\u2014unless he is a Liberal.When the Jap fleet and the Russian forts exchange complimefits, the report says: \u2018\u2019Seven Chinese killed and three gol- diers, and three Chinese wounded.This sounds like Montreal pelice markman- ship, when it is the neutral bystanders who usually get hit.Mr.Chamberlain may have two glasses now instead of one, but it is not likely that he will see things differently.The Libs.are not doing much damage to the Opposition, Ahese days, but then they are talking >of taking it out of the Civil Service.Mr Gamey is being sued for libel, but not by Stratton.Ontario has an Archiviat, too, but he has not yet discovered the West Elgin ballots.The Toronto News says that the Ottawa Libs.are \u2018\u2019for the most part wearing muzzles.\u201d\u201d But it Is so unnecessary.Only dangerous canines should be muzzled.The latest wrinkle in Toronto politics is a dog-fight in a polling booth which distracted the attention of the voters.Gh!

would cost a great deal more before we were through if we didn\u2019t settle.He stated also that part of this money was to go to Mr.J.P.Cooke, the Crown prosecutor.He sald be knew what he was talking

glance from the casual passer-by.Looking closer, it was noticed that there was a card on the door which said in French \u201cIn memory of the death of Admiral Makaroff.\u201d A flight of narrow, dusty stairs led direct to the upper room, which is the only Greek Orthodox Church in Montreal.Here a requiem service was held yesterday morning for the souls of the gallant Admiral and the men who went down to their death with him on that awful April morning.Impressive to a degree was the service conducted according to the ritual of the Greek Church.Despite the drawbacks incidental to belng but a small bcdy of worshippers, struggling to carry out the customs and ceremonies of their religion.the service lacks nothing in form and dignity.A curiously mixed gathering of people attended.Russians, Greeks.Rouma- nians, Syrians and Bulgarians, with a few French and English visitors crowd- el the small hall to its utmost capacity.The light of numerous tapers {llumined tHe faces of men and women

heads, framing faces, from which looked out patient, sad, dark eyes, and uron which were imprinted many lines.The younger women, especially two or three, apparently belles in the little community, were dressed in the most modern fashion with smart sults and plumed hats.A number of fine, dark- eyed little boys were present, and moved freely about among their elders, while the chanting and the preaching were in progress.The men were of all ages and for the most part representing one type in feature and colouring, but the variety lay in the expression.Nearly all of them had dark hair and black eyes.The young lads had clear olive skins, with bril- fant colour in cheeks and lips.The older men were pale or sallow.On some of the young faces was an expression of assurance and courage, amounting nearly to deflance; on many of the older faces the dominating expression was a patient resignation to Fate.The bearing of all was marked by a deeply reverent attention and devoutness.The priest in charge is a remarkably striking figure.The head of a patri- a i nians, Syriany\u2019 and Bulgarians Join in Solemn Service 5 \u2018Memory of the Late Admiral Makaroff.ing beard, crowned the gorgeous robes and vestments of yellow and gold.\u2018Within a stone's throw of the business section of a large Canadian city the priest and his flock appeared a fragment of the East bound together in a foreign land by the ties of a religious faith and form.Towards the east end of the hall was the catafalque upon which were wax tapers and a crucifix, and upon the altar hangings appeared the Greek cross.Black hangings with suitable sentiments covered the walis and .across the partition which hid the altar were the words \u201cRequiescat in pace.\u201d The hall is only a large old- fashioned room, and the faded wall paper contrasted strangely with the hangings; and the pegs, upon which hung hats, with the censer and the tapers.The perfume of the Incense filled the air.The solemn music of_ the chanting of many voices, smote mournfully upon the ear.Wax tapers were passed to each members of the congregation, and lighted one from another.Ail through the eulogy and exhortation by the Father of the flock the candles were held firmly in toil worn hands and hands which knew no manual labour, their light softly shining on the faces above them.STAR-MONDAY, APRIL 18.1904.© , .: eo - (Seo also

the story of their death.The memory of the good was blessed, and that memory would not die.Admiral Makaroff and his sallors should not be forgotten, and the speaker's voice rang out.To their life on earth farewell had been spoken, may their souls rest In peace forever.Then the many voices were uplifted again in chant, and presently the crowd surged out of the hall and down the long stairs to the street where the sun shone, and the wind blew the dust frantically about.Thousands of miles away on the other side of the world from this meeting place of exiles and aliens, lte peacefully sleeping

and went to stay a day or two with a distant relation named Solomon Braser.It appears he was not famillar with the uw jet : and it is thought by his relatives that, when he turned off the gas, shortly before 10 o\u2019clock last night.he must have turned it on again.When found to-day the tap was open.The ambulance and medical assistance was sumoned fom the General Hospital, but all the physicians could l do was to pronounce the man dead.The body was then taken to the morgue.After hearing the statements made by the relatives, the coroner returned à verdict of accidental death.The remains of the young Russian will be interred in Montreal.SHIPPING MEN TO MEET HARBOUR COMMISSIONERS.The shipping men meet the members of the Harbour Board this afternoon, the object being the straightening out of the tariff question ro far as it cone cerns goods left on the wharves for jonger periods than is actually necessary for their removal.In other words the Commissioners propose to enforce such by-laws as will prevent the shipping men and others from utilizing the wharves as storehouses.At the meeting this morning.Messrs.Wilson, Patterson & Company wrote in asking that the Importers he received as well as the shipping men.The Com- | missioners concluded that they might be asked to attend the meeting if they 80 desired.Hon.Mr.Emmerson Favourably Impressed With the Idea.According to Mr.W.L Gear, Mr.George Hadrill and other gentlemen \u201cI who interviewed Hon.H.R.Emmerson \u2018at the Bonaventure station on Fridav, the Minister of Rallways and Canals was favourably impressed with the desirability of having a dry-dock in the \u2018west end of the harbor.\u2019 : {-\u2014The-plan proposed is-to build a drs- | dock virtually as a portion of a hixh level basin, which could be readily constructed between the guard pler and the presént entrance to the Lachine canal.By this method the available steamship space would be largely increased, as a portion of the harbour which 18 now

his kind in contrast with Niedermeler's associate, Gustav Marx.The letter says: \u201cThere are four reasons why 1 should take my own life.First, because of the public boast that I cannot commit suicide while IT am so closely guarded.Second, kthat I cannot cheat the scaffold.Third, that they cannot say they executed me and made me pay for a crime.Fourth, to have another mystery for the

in England and Was Presented With Photo by Her Late Majesty.In the sudden death yesterday afternoon of Mr.Samuel Struthers, son of the late Mr.James Struthers, there passed away a4 man who was famous with an older generation as one of the best athletes in Canada, having made his reputation especially ay à lacrosse piayer.In spite of the swiftness with which events follow events, and one generation Of men is succeeded by another, Mr.Struthers\u2019 achievements were not forgotten.He was well known as one of the beat and most scientific of lacrosse players, and a great catcher.As a hockey player he was also well known, and was among the early players at the Victoria Rink, before hockey was as popular as It te at the present day.He akated remarkably well, and was fond of tobog- Kaning.being a member of the Montreal Sub.He was a life member of the M.A.RECORD AS LACROSSE PLAYER.Mr.Struthers\u2019 record as a lacrosse player was remarkable.He Joined the Montreal Lacrosse Club in 1870 or 1871, and went to Englund on the first team With the Indians in 1876, and again 'n 1883.Jt is said that on this occasion Le Dlayed every match during the visits to England, Ireland and Scotland, taking part altogether in about 60.The third time he went across to play in the Old Country was in 1888, with the Toronto Club.He played tn Montreal for many years, except during the eighties, when he was living in Toronto, and connected with that club.gymnast, and up to the day of his death kept up his exercises with the dumb- and clubs in his rooms, where were during the years he was interested in outdoor games.The deceased was of Scotch parentage.\u2018and spent his life in Canada.His parents have been dead for many years, and his nearest relative is his only sister, Mrs.W.B.Sellar, formerly Miss Annie Struth- ers, living on Clarke avenue.He was a man of between 50 and 55 years of age, and had never married.At one time Mr.Struthers was in the Exchange Bank, but had been for many years connected with the Canadian Pn- cific Railway, both in Montreal and Toronto.He had resided for about a dosen Years at No.8 Mance street, where his death occurred so suddenly yesterday afternoon.Mr.Struthers had been at his sister's and brother-in-law's house on Baturday, and rose as usual on Sunday morning.Later the people in the house heard a call, and, going up, found Mr.Btruthers lying on his bed.Mrs.Sellar was telephoned for, but her brother had passed away.TRIBUTE FROM FELLOW ATHLETE.Speaking of him, an old friend and fel- low-athlete said to the Star this morning: \u201cStruthers was a fine fellow, and many of the men of his time and of a later one, will be grieved to learn of his sudden eath.He was a quiet fellow.very kind, and ever ready to do a good turn for any one who applied to him.\" The late Mr.Btruthers was a member of the Presbyterian Church.The death of Mr.Struthers was very greatly deplored by those officials in the accountant's branch of the C.P.R., who have been associated with him in a business way for the past twenty years.They always recognized In him a man whose disposition was of the most kindl- lv character, and possibly owing to that fact he was extremely popular with all his associates.In addition those above him in the service of the company unite In declaring him to have been one of the most efficient accountants upon the staff.The late Mr.Struthers, as his record set forth aboye indicates, was always a warm adherent of the Canadian national game.Possibly he possessed the most complete record of events connected with lacrosse that was -ever collated by a single Canadian.An active participant in all the great lacrosse events of a former generation, he was in a position to obtain data, of which few at the present date would have any cognizance.In his rooms he had pictures of all the prominent lactosse players of the past two decades, 'as well as much valuable data regarding the achievements of these players.Not only dJd he take an active interest in the national game as a player, however; he was one of the finest makers of lacrosse sticke in the Dominion.There were many players prominent on the [field to-day wto- fieid until they were in possession of a stick made by Sam Struthers.He produced a stick that waa fit for use from the very first, this result being reduced by a process peculiarly his own.Mr.Struthers was oonnected with the M.A.A.A.almost from its inception, and played on the grounds of that organization when they were situated on Shep» brooke street.At that time he was a contemporary of the late Ross Mackensie and many of the other famous players of that era.Visiting England in the early eighties as a member of à white team that played exhibitions all over the United Kingdom against an aggregation of Indlans, Mr.Btruthers, in conjunction with his associates, was presented wit! pleture of Her Majesty Queen Vi signed by the imperial \u2018hand and pre- 1

we can at Jeast consider their methods\u2019~\u2014he began.\u201cThe Higher Criticism is a compact between certain learned men of England and the rationalists of Germany.It is a panic movement, instituted for the purpose of meeting the views of, and retaining in the church, those men rationalism.It numbers diverse and widely-different elements within it.from such reverend and pious critics as Kirkpatrigk and Driver, to the editors of such rks as the Encylopaedia Biblica, who are a disgrace to the church and whose utterances deserve no other name than that of learned lunacy.\u201d ; \u2018The movement, generally speaking, is opposed to what is called the supernatural.It eliminates from Old and New Testament their miraculous elements.Canon Henson himself, in his article, points out thät the process he advocates in the case of the Old Testament will spread to the New.This means that Christians will be asked to deny the truth of the Virgin Birth and of the Resurrection.BASED ON THEORIES.\u201cI would point out first that the Higher Criticiam is based not on fucts but on theories, and these, insupportable hypotheses.- IL is mainly based on the principle expounded by Darwin, that of evolution, which regards sin as nothing more than a growing pain.Men dislike the plain statement of ain, the fall of man, etc.They dislike to feel themselves dependant upon the atoning blood of Christ.They have seen how to avoid this, and the theory of evolution is the result.if you remove the fall, you take away the foundation of Christianity.| \u201cTo proceed to our second point, it is assumed that all educated men are on the side of the Higher Criticism.This is an absolutely unfounded statement, but as a resuit of it, many young ministers for fear of belng called \u201cbehind the times,\u201d pL its tenets -and preach Higher Criticism, the result being that thelr utterances are blazoned forth, while those of the defenderg of Christ receive ho notice.Do not, therefore, be afraid of the bogie of illiteracy, for \u201cThe father hath hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hath revealed them unto babes.\u201d - Co \u201cThe recent centenary of the Bible Society is irrefutable proof that the bible has lost \u201chone of its standing with the masses.GOD AND THE OLD TESTAMENT.\u201cFinally, the Living God identifies himself with the Uld Testament.Does he not say\" that he is the \u201cGed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?He said so in the burning bush and on many occasions since.\u201d - * .Thè minister referred in concluding to Christ's walk Lo Emmaus with the two disciples, and how He conversed with them of Moses and the prophets.The minister asked: \u201cWould He have spoken of these men, if, as the Higher Critics affirm, they never existed?\u201cThe celebration of the Holy Communion at the present day is undeniable evidence that Christ believed in the supernatural.\u2019 \u201cFor these reasons,\u201d Mr.Troop concluded, \u201cI am a bellever with Christ, with the apostles and with all holy men ant In thes upernaturat and in the divinity of Christ; sand it ia not for Canon Henson nor for any other higher critic to predict the future of that book, since God hath \u2018established It for ever in the heavens.' - ARCHDEACON KER DENOUNCES THE \u201cNEW HEATHENISM.\u201d Yesterday evening Archdeacon Ker preached in Grace Church.from the text,\u201dAnd Moses with his rod smote the rock twice; and the water pame out abundantly\u2019 and the drank; and their beasts also.\u201d 2, v.211, = Dr.Ker skid: This la a miracle pure and simple, a statement we accept and believe exactly as it is written.We are not in the least tempted to seek for explanations calculated to transfer the] occurrence from the region of the supernatural down to the level of the legendary or the common-plage.There are those in the world to whom the quest: of such explanations fs a congenlal task,\u2014a task usually performed with considerable notoriety, and, with no lit- tie applause from those who hold that & record of miracles, especially of Bible miracles, is not, on any account, to be balleved.The wonderful event recorded in the text took place publicly in the aight of the whole assembly.It took piace, too, in the last year of the wilderness per- fod and in the presence of the new generation.which crossed the Jordan and, under Joshua, conquered Canaan.The narrative: was received as true by the whole ancient Mebrew church, and in récelved as such by the Jews, and by the universal church of Christ from the time of Our Lord and His Aposties down to this day.CHRIST WAS THE ROCK.St.Paul says \u201cThe rock was Christ.\u201d It was a figure of Christ.Christ acted in it and by ft, and it typified Him who is the rock smitten for our sins.This doctrine of pur redemption by the blood of Christ la ly recreating human society.This Bible, with its tales of- miracles by the score, is the Book that has made Christian nations to differ, Batons that are mot Comin om nation - : This Book of miracles found our foref: , even as it found others, and it lifted them into the new heaven and the new earth, in which Christian nations, by comparison with thoge that aré¢ not Christian, may be said, really to dwell, Surely it were unworthy of any Christian, and twice and three times unworthy of a Christan minister, to seek to discredit any part of a record that has so bléssed the gen- eraffotis, and still blesses those who ve it; & record that with all\" the gus and wonders and mighty deeds hich it relates and which, ae tatog- necessary parte has gutded the Latex.Share was a pleasantly infortnal sance f those present.During the evening home-made candy was sold BX, 6 Qumber of young ladles._ .êt ?: com JEONG RECENT ANCLÉ .icoûgreration | Numbers rec ve TTT ECD ToT = $ mr om 7 ness Into the liberty and glory of Christian clvillzatden., ., .- : 8t.Paul's reference to Christ in this connection brings us to the heart and céntre of the miraculous in Holy Sorip~ ture in the person of Jesus Christ Our Lord.As Gentile Christians, our attt- tude to New Testament miraclés, at any rate, will in a great measure be determined by our faith, or kind of faith, or our want of faith in the Son of God.His Virgin Birth, His Resurrection from the dead on the third day, His Ascension into Heaven, these are the crowning wonders of our religion; and if these be believed with the whole heart, there is no jnducement Jeft to eliminate the niraculoys from other and relatively rubordinate occurrences, Hut if the Virgin Birth be denied, and the Resurrection, and the Ascension, then there will certainly be a craving to get rid of the supernatural wherever it seems to show itself any where in the Book Thus the assault upon the New Testament record of miracles is, in reality, an assault upon faith in Christ as the Eternal Son.of the Eternal Father.This fact is not always confessed by those who denounce as unhistorical whole sections of the New Testament.Indeed such critles are wont to say of our Lord many most respectful and appreciative things; His wondrous example, His lofty morality, His sublime philosophy fill them with an admiration that only stops short of adoration.But If they bes lieved in Him as \u201cV God of Very God,\u201d \u201cequal to the Father as touching His Godhead,\u201d they would concede His power to suspend natural laws where He deemed it right to do so, and .he ONON OF THREE _ CARSTIM SECTS The proposed union of the Presbyterian.Methodist and Congregatidnal churches was the subject of a sermon preached last evening at the Point 8t.Charles Congregational church by Rev.W.R.Harvey, from the text of St.John 7, 21 : \u201cThat they may all be one even as Thou Father art in me and % in Thee, that they also may be one in us ; that the warld may believe that Thou hast sent me.\" - Mr.Harvey set forth tWe reasons for the proposed union of the three churches named ; the points of [lkeness and the points of difference, and the concessions from each, which union would involve.The words of the text, sald Mr.Harvey, have a strange music: that lingers in the ear, for after enturies of strife it appears as though the time for their fulfillment were ut hand.There has.been sectarian strife and bittérness ; and men, seeing the.many churches hearing the many doctrines, have sald: \u201cThere are so many, no one knows what tp believe; therefore I wii believe An nothing.\u201d _ [7 A GREAT MOVEMENT \u201cA movement feet 30 bb now, not only in the air, but on the solid ground, and making a grand march to its cansummation.Recedlly 1&8 mally \u2018Canadian cities and towns, meetings have been held of men high in their respective churches who belleve that] a union between Presbyterian, Methodist and Conyregationsl churches is not only possible, but imperative.We believe that there is nothing of rèal or vital character, no doctrine or government which forms an -insurmountable; barrier between the union which is pro- osed.\u201d : - ?Mr.Harvey then sketched the foun dation of each of the three denominations.With the Presbyterian, was connected the name of John Knox; with the, Methodist, Wesley and Whitfield ;

but, called by different names and governed by separate bodies, bitterness and rivalry arose.In one Canadian town of 500 inhabitants there were first three churches, which later split into aix congregations.There are iserable con- .sregations, miserable salaries paid the olergy, and a miserable spitit growth.What might be one large pros« perous body \u2018is divided by sectarianism, with the result that none flourish.SOME DIFFICULTIES.Mr.Harvey touched on the difficule ties which seemed to lle in the way of union.The Presbyterians had a hard and fast faith and an authority vested in the Presbytery.The Methodists vested authority in the General Conference, and a stationing committee placed the ministers.Rules were jaid down for what men epuld and could not do.The Congregationalists have & broed rule for conduct, and insisted upon individual rights.Examiiing closely, it will.be found that none of ee are as strict as hava :The Methodists are supposed ve a stationing committee, but in reality call their own ministers, and get.whom they choowe.Presbyteridnts are \u2018supposed to be under the Presbytery.but there is one church in Montreal which has not_sent a delegate to th Presbytery for thirty years, and yet that church could get anything it asked for.The Congregationalists are independent, but are realizing that it in not good to be alone and are looking wistfülly Zor something on the lines of.the Presbyterion system.A great $if« ficulty would be removed when, each ackno that its form of governe ment Is a matter of expediency.Al} these churches believe in the main alike, including the inspiration of the scriptures.To have union the worda of Augustine must be taken as s sides \u2018Let there be In essentials unity : hs non-estèntials fiberty, and in all things | charity.\u201d \u2014 - WH ly for all Your [i Cart Fall to.\u2026 Brings Health, Strength, \u2018Beauty to Siokly Women.\u2018né Tonger suffer tromssuppres: sion and interference with the menstrual functions.Ferro- sone cures all such allments - and préventia their returt From Mrs.F.G.Caldwell comes the following endorsement written from her homte in .Clarksburg: \u201cI went through 8 job trying.experience with whit is commonly khown as \u2018female trouble\u2019 It fan\u2019t necessary to state my.symptoma, | but I suffered a grodt ded].My \u2018health was\u201d wel) high frien, and I got into such a.condition that 1 couldn't even sleep.I was dreadfully nervous, weak \u2018and pale.Different prewcrip- tions Were recommended, and I tried them.But Ferrozone was the first to help.I improved steadily under Ferrozone, and normal conditions were finally established, 1 gained weight, my color and spirits improved and'ihy former héalth was restored.Ferrozone cured me, and with a fall he I récom-_ \u201c mended this good Medicine to all other women.\u201d | Ferrozone is just what most girls and women need.It builds Up: their sfstem,.improves their looks, 4d makes them feel what buoyant good health really means.Pricé 500 per box or six boxes for $2.50, at - all druggists.Beware of substitutes, and get TFerrowbne when you ask for it.Mailed to your \u2018ty N.C.Pol- \u2018son & Co, Hartford, corn U.8 As and Kingston, Ont.\u2018 - é The John Murphy Company, : LIMITED.(iood and ment\u2014 Comfort ! \u2018 Hosiery Underwear.The feel of good Hosiery and Underwear is unmistakable !

kirk, Man.The gathering was one of the most notable in the history of the club.Mr.James Cochrane, ex- Mayor of Montreal, presided.1 Most of Mr.Hyman's speech was devoted to a consideration of Canada as the granary of the Empire, and to the amended Grand Trunk Pacific agreement.Speaking of Canada\u2019s ability to provide Great Britain with all her foodstuffs.Mr.Hyman sald that the Duke of Sutherland had told him the other day that Great Britain had.only six weeks\u2019 food supply ahead and that the question had become such a bdrning one for the British public that His Grace, as the chairman of the recently formed commission on food supply.had come out to Canada to measure the resources of the Dominion.If only 25 per cent: of the land in Manitoba and] the North-West were to produce wheat, the yield would be sufficient not only to meet the home demand, but to supply.Great Britaln with three times the quantity she will require.The construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific would result in cheaper transportation and cheaper transportation would render a high protective tariff Jess objectionable to the agriculturists of the West.He declared that the great expansion in all branches of ve that the sacrifice should be made and that the Fast should be bound to the West hy az other band of steel.Mr.McCreary said that Confederation could not have been a reality had it not been for the Canadian Pacific Rall- way, and as that Toad was an absolute necessity at the time of its construction, s0 is the Grand Trunk Pacific today.He also treated the question of emigration, which was causing alarm on the other side of \u2018the line, for the United States are now losing 150,000 of their people every year.As to the value of these immigrants to Canada he would like to remind those who complained that we were pouring money laborer, 19 years _|into the North-West.that 95 per cent.of all they spend comes to the East.The more people in the West the better for Eastern Canada.The toast to \u201cThe Parliaments of Canada.\u201d proposed by Mr.Henry Ham- liton, was replied to by Senator Dan- durand, Hon.J.C.McCorkill, Hon.W.A.Weir, Hon.J.P.B, Casgrain, Hon, Henry J.Cloran, Messrs.L.A.Rivet, M.P., M.Hutchinson, M.L.A., and A.Bergevin, M.L.A.; Mr.Edward Ward\u2019s Death.Mr.Edward E.Ward, for many years connected with Molsons Bank, died on Saturday at Ste.Agathe, His commection with the Molsons Bank dates back many years.After occupying various positions on the Montreal staff, he became manager at Port Arthur and later at Revelstoke, B.C.His healilx broke down under the strain of work\u201d and responsibility, and \u2018| some months ago he had to give up business.About ten days ago, he went to Ste.Agathe, hoping to recuperate, but fell a victim to the disease which had been weakening him for years.; was a son of Surgeon- General T.L.Ward, of Hawkhurst, Stanhope, Que, In 1 he married Miss Lilly Mitchell, Boe died In August last.He leaves two sisters, Mrs.W.T.Whitehead and Mrs.W.B.Gilmour, of this city.Judge Forbes Much Improved.Judge Forbes, of Nova Scotia, who has been a patient at the Royal Vic- torid Hospital for some time, and was operated upon by Dr.Buller a few days ago, in doing well, ahd expects to be Homer D.Forbes, who has also been in the surgeon's hands, will return with his father much improved.Drowning at 8t.Angele de Laval.Special to the Montreal.Star.|\u201d Al 18\u2014Atsene Griffiths\u2019 Menthol Lisimant Tragic Ending of Giovanni | l the souls of Admiral Makaroff and the congregation were.standing.the entire iength.of sermon.as is the ] Chemises.count of TES UA Ny oc 2453-2457 St.Catherine Street.Near White Muslin Underwear Less 25 Per Cent.This item tells of a collection of Lingerie\u2014especially attractive for prospective June brides, including Night Gowns, Underskirts, Corset Covers, Drawèrs and Many of these garments might easily rank as works of art.The wholéassortment marked ät a dis- Twenty-five Per Cent Mail Orders filled with the privilege of returning same if not satisfactory.Drummond.We { (SAMPLES.) % \u2014_\u2014 SERVICE DESCRIBED BY A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH (See also page five.) The following account of the requiem service for Admiral Makaroff, in the orthodox Greek church,.in Montreal, yesterday.was written for the Star by a member of the congregation: A requiem service for.the-repese- ef- other Russian officers and men that perished on the 13th inst.in the terrible disaster to the battleship -Petro- pavlovsk, at Port Arthur, was solemnly held yesterday morning at the Greek Orthodox Church, 14562 Notre Dame street.~ ve As distant as Mentreal is from the present field of bloodshed in the Far East, as far removed from the pale of the Russian Empire, there was still a very impressive and pathetic scene in this humble place of\" worship, \u2018the Orthodox Church of the Syrian cèlony of Montreal.\u2018 \u2014 i When we ascended a flight of the stairs we found ourselves in a capacious hall, poorly lighted and ventilate.% but clean and newly p and h every evidence of béing taken care of.In thé eastern end of the room, according to the custom of all the Greek church, there is a temporary altar with thhree doors, called the northern and the southern gates on the sides and the holy gate in the middle, right in front of which is the pulpit for the priest and inside of which is the officlating table for the Holy Communion.At our grrival the church was already filled to its utmost capacity.All.rule in all eastern churches.Mipecial seats are provided only for the nonmembers of the congregation, for such esteemed members as happened to come to the church yesterday for the special requiem service.I happened to know some of the members and they at once ushered me to the front, where the seats were provided for the honorable members and visitors.There I found a small group consisting of the Russian Imperial Conail, M.de Struve, with his family and some of his friends, some few gentlemen and ladies from the French Consulate, and two or three Russians with their wives.The rest of the ehurch behind and around us was filled with the men, women and child- n of the Syrian colony.n the middle of the floor, just In front of the pulpit, stood a high catafalque, covered with black velvet, with silver crosses, and with two candelabra, of seven candles each, on top of it.This was to indicate the burial sermon or requiem for the gallant Russian Admiral and the men - that | perished with him aboard the tll-fated Petropavlovsk.- \u201c \u2018On both sides and just a IMttle in front of the catafalque stood the choir.There is no music allowed in the Greek church, but a considerable part of the sermon is conducted by singing of the Cathismas and Psalms in monotone.During a large part of the mäse the priest is officiating at the altar, screened from the view of the congregation, but at special Intervals he appears in the pulpit.R.Rev.Father George Matifuse, attired In the magnificent veatment of his office, embroidered with silver and gold, appeared several times in the pulpit before the regular Sunday mass was over.By his looks he must be nearly seventy.His long hair and whiskers are snowy white, and give him, indeed, a patriarchial appearance, but he carries his age with ease and has a strony impressive voice.Father George does not speak Eng- mon was conducted by him and his retinue in his native Syrian lang 1 not one of us, except the Syrians themselves, could understand him.But for one who was born end brought up in the Greek Orthodox Church, be it in Russia, Syria or anywhere else, and conducted on any lan , it would make very little difference.The forms and the rites of the mass are exactly the same for all the Orthodox Church, though on certain days there are different forms.In general, the forme of the Greek Orthodox Church are similar to those of the Roman Catholio Church.- While speaking of the late Vice- Admiral Makaroff, the minister touched én many of the noble acts and brave deeds of the deceased, paying him a high tribute as an excellent naval eom- mander, a true defender of his native country, a brave man.and a gentleman.He laid particular emphasts in his description of the carder of the late Admirdl on his gallant t on the River Danube {in 1876.with\u2019 the Turks, 80 hateful to the Byrians.Further on the priest gave a very moving T an A , in the\u201c river here while oh hie way his broth- er-dh-læw'e.Qvide Botrqué.:A compan-* on, Ladue was 36 youre of and Lara wite SAG faux children, SAV 8 Eig ary, 10 I.Lo ae cures any pain of any kind.CRIFFITES MENTHOL LINIMENT fe es 4 jumtago, = ll > ao is) a ~ ee a Haycock & Dudgeon.account of the disaster to the Russian battleship Petropaviovsk.When he spoke of this sid incident his eyes filled with tears and the congregation was very much impressed by the description of the tragic scene, when in a second a ship with 700 souls on board ye._ aq e- AO J White Shirt Waists.20 p.c.to 331-3 p.o, off.i A large manufacturer's sample set of Dainty White Shirt Waists go on sale Toxmorrow, Tuesday, at 20 per cent.to one third discount from regular figures, They are this season\u2019s newest styles, in 34 and 36 inch bust measure.Here are the prices: $ .85 to $1.15, for $ .75 [$3.50 to $4.50, for $2.75 1.35 to 1.75, for 1.15 4.65 to 4.75, for 3.35 1.95 to 2.10, for L.Æ5| 485 to 5.00, for 3.75 2.25 to 2.35, for 1.65 5.25 to 5.50, for 3.85 2.50 to 3.25, for 2.10 6.25 to 6.75, for L45 COME BARI,Y.Ready for Business Promptly at § a.m, 89c Black Taffeta Silk for 59c 2 pieces only\u2014Extra special quality Black Taffeta Silk, 21 inches wide, rustling \u201cglace finish.Price for Tuesday's early buyers, from 8 to 10 am, per yard We cannot fill telephone orders for this Silk.A 80k we can recommend to wear, worth 8% yard.Special cee +.3D0 Three extra special items for Tuesday\u2014Positively lower than mil ces.Never mind figuring out how we do A pe!
