of Promise.Senator W.V.Sullivan, of Mississippi, who was last week served with papers in the suit fyled against him by Mis Lucy Leeton for breach of promise of marriage, slapped the young woman's face the other night in Washington, In giving her version of the affair, Miss Leston enye she was called out of a restaurant nefr the Baltimore and Ohio station by an employe of Senator Sullivan, who said be wanted to give her a registered letter.When she reached the hall Mr Sullivan stepped into view.Ho told his man to go, as he wanted to talk to Miss Leeton privately.He then asked her to walk to the corner of tbe street with During the walk, she says, he upbraided her for bringing suit against him, and when she told him to go home to his wife he slapped her face with his open hand four times.Miss Leeton\u2019s cause was soon champiored by a gathering crowd, and the Senator took a passing street car.Mr.Sullivan Pmite that he committed the deed, but saya it was done in a fit of sudden anger, on account of her impor- tunities for money and her abuse when he refused it.RD WINTER OVER That Spring Time is at Last at Hand.ONE OF THE WORST ON RECORD.How ths Census in Great Britain Will be Taken\u2014 Gossip of the Continent.LONDON, February 25.\u2014The first winter of the new century has been dying bard.Not a snowdrop or a crocus is to be seen in the parks, where usually the last week of February finds the ground literally be- speckled with these early heralds of the coming spring.A wearisome succession of frost, snow and thaw, followed by frost, thaw and snow, with plentiful interludes of fog, leaves the parks and gardens bedraggled and unkept, as though the owners wére uncertain whether it is worth while using them as a pleasure ground for another year or had better cut them up into building Jots.In the city the winter has been one of the worst on record, between fog, frost snow and slush, with yawning trenc yes and mud barriers everywhere.e dismal \u2018surroundings have naturally affected the people themselves.The ubiquitous national mourning is quite in keeping with the prevailing gloom.For once the early Lent is welcomed ns an excuse for a general fit of the blues.Underlying the outward semblance of depression, however, people are already beginning to whisper what a glorious awaken- ine it will be twelve months hence when the King comes into his own and England renlizes what a royal court means after so many years of mournin As befits such Jugubrious weather.oor mes, like bridge and ping-pong, \"are all the rage, but old fashioned patience atill has its votariecs.TAKING THE CENSUS.The preparations for the decennial census, which takes place in England on March 31, arc now practically completed.Owing to the demolition of the buildings.Whitehall, where the Census Office was placed in the former years ending with one, new quarters have been found near the Tate Gallery at Milbank, \u201cThe permanent machinery for counting people in England and Wales is of perfeet simplicity.The country is divided into 2,061 districts, The regis | trar for each district divides his territory | into sections of two to three habitants, and enumerators Gor a division distribute and collect the oper on two days.on census day itself 2 is expected the work will require at lea forty thousand of these enumerators, an provision is being made for fifty thousand.{fore than ten million of schedules for distribution among occupiers of dwellings are to be sent around.When these are collected they are to be returned in batches of registry districts to the central office in London, where the actual count will take place.The result is expected to be known early in the summer, before Parliament adjourns.TO IMPROVE LONDON DOCK.An effort is to be made at last to improve the Millwall dock, which for time out of memory has been the dread of shippers using London as a port, as well as the captains of stenmers who are compelled to tie up there.The methods of unloading and load- in Jurgous at Millwall are primitive beyond elief.For the greater part of the year Eat the dock space is ubsolutely impassable to ships, owin to the presence of acres of floating ! oals of barges and waiting cargoes, which monopolize the dock frontage with the coolest disregard of the demands of incoming vessels.The dock wharfs are almost perpetually in à state of chaos.Lumber piles, heaps of pig iron and mountains of miscellaneous merchandise are strewn around in most promiscuous fashion.Yet, notwithstanding the crowded condition of the wharis in apots available for discharging cargo there are acres and acree of vacant ground belonging to the dock company neer by where the dank grass grows as wild as on the western prairie.DREYFUS QUARRELS WITH FRIENDS A bitter quarrel has broken out in the ranks of the Dreyfus party, the particulars of which it haa been impossible to discover, neither side being willing to talk.The auarrel js between ex-Captain Dreyfus and his family on one side, and Colonel Pic quart and Maitre Labori on the other, and so serious is the misunderstanding and ao bitter the animosity that the disputants are no longer on speaking terms.Owing to this the projected lecturing tour in America of Maitre Labori, the plucky defender and counsel of the prieoner of Devil's Island, is certain to be abandoned EXHIBITS

King: dom which have the traditional right tb be received in special audience on the accession of & new Sovereign, and the King must hold Court in each instance, and accept in proper form the congratulations.Audiences of this kind are arranged already with eater state than has been known for a fon ng period.The king has accentuated strongly from tho first da lay of his reign the ceremonious side of royalty.Ou Saturday he received addresses at St.James Palace from Oxford and Cambridge Universities and the Royal Soeiety e ccremony corresponded closely with the reception of the City Corporation and the London County Council.A guard of honour was mounted outside of he Palace, and a Mili- ry Band was in the Courtyard.Yemen of the Guard, Who are, indispensable at every court

their academic robes, and the fo ows and officials of the Roy al Society were well represented.The de clarations of elegations were received with stately dignity, snd the King's re ply was his own in phrasing and manner.All ceremonios of this kind are well man- nged by the king.He excludes superfluous functionaries and converts functions into special audiences and in ncarly every instance confers decorations and awards honours.The King happily deserves all the conventional compliments and flatteries showered upon him by the Englieh press in ts stinted and formal accounts of thve?fune-.tions.The Court Officiala who are behind the scenes report that he knows the stage business of reigning already and has nothing to learn from the prompter.Three functionaries at the opening

prohibited.Those who are physically incapable of earning their own living _ should be provided for in institutions at the public expense.Those who are capable of work could be employed in cleaning the streets or in some other way.But as the civic authorities countenance strect begging, charitably disposed citizens should co-operate with the Charity Organisation Society in their endeavour to prevent fraud.As a rule money given away on the street fs wasted.Professional begging is almost as demoralizing\u2019 as theft, and it is wrong \u2014to encourage it.Yet there are deserving cases.Owing to illness or bad luck men and women are sometimes compelled to beg to save themselves and their families from starvation, and as it is generally impossible without investigation to distinguish between necessity and professional pauperism kind-hearted people are apt to put their hands into their pockets to las- .sist any beggar who accosts them on the street.If the money scattered in this way were united in organized relief work it would do much more good.But very few citizens even take the trouble to learn the addresses of the charitable organiza- tiona.There is one way in which work might be found for all able-bodied men and boys who cannot get employment.The aide- walks of the city are in à most disgraceful condition.The Charity Organization Society might organize a sidewalk cleaning brigade, and ask householders to co-oper- ate with them.\u2014\u2014 THE SOUTH AND THE NICARA- aua CANAL., The nevapélers and public men of Eng- \u2018land In discussing the Nicaragua canal question do not appear to have considered the effect the canal is likely to have in making the manufacturers of the Southern States rivals of British manufacturers in the markets of the Pacific.There has been an extraordinary development of manufacturing in the South dur \u201cing the Inst ten years amd especially dur ing the last four or five years.Take the cotton industry for Éxample.In 1880 \u201cthere _were only 180 cotton factories in the { South, but the number rose to 264 in 1800 - and 663 in 1000.The new factories built \u201cest year humbered 118 and 135 additional \" establishments are now in course of construc- fon.The consumption of cotton by Southern mills has increased almost 400 per cent, in the last thirteen years, the in- \u2018grease in the last three ycars being equal © Tvs (to the total increase for the ten years pre- ding.The increase, last year in the of cotton spindles -in the of the United States was about p00 and of these all but 107,000 be- factoriés in the Southern States.ing iron alvd the South has made p progress, Iron and steel are cheaper in Alabama than any- mber expected that the \u2018weeks at Bydawy, C.B.will equal them in cheapasss of production.The great progress in cotton-making, iron.making, and other ihdustries of the South, bas beon made in spite of the fact that the ocean ports of the South are very dis tant from the markets of the world.Ves sels sailing from the Gulf of Mexico ports must make quite a long voyage before reaching the Atlantic, and they have to go all the way around South America to reach the Pacific oceans Nevertheless, New Or leans is the third port of the United States in the volume of foreign trade, and Galveston, Mobile and other Gulf ports also do a large business.As regards the markets of Europe, Africa, and the East consts of South America, nothing oan be done to improve the disadvantageous geographical situation of these Southern ports, but the construction of the Nicaragua canal will meke a wonderful change in their position as regards the Pacific Ocean, snd the manufacturers of the Southern States will have a very decided advantage over those of the United King: dom in shipping cotton, \u2018iron, steel and other articles to the west coast of South America, China, Japan and Australia.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SALT, SAND AND SNOW.A stranger visiting Montreal might carry away the impression that Canadian snow is peculiar.The mixture of salt, sand and snow that covers our strects is « disgrace to the city.It is injurious to the health of the pedestrians who must pass through it, and ie hard on horses feet.It is carried into the houses and spoils carpets and furniture.The street railway company should not be allowed to cover the streets with this mixture.The Road Department should immediately remove the dirty stuff from the streets and any one found throwing salt or sand on the roadways should be arrested and fined.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 NOT ABANDONED.\u201cThe reason assigned for the abandonment of Montreal by the Canada \u201cAvlantice Railway wis because Quebec was a deep water harbour, capable of receiving the largest steamships afloat, whereas Montreal could not accommo date the huge vessels that are necessary for the economical conveyance of freight to Europe.\u201d\u2014Toronto World.Would it not be well for the Toronto newspapers to carefully enquire as Yo the facts instead of recklessly making inmaccur- ate statements about the port of Montreal.The Canada Atlantic Railway Company has never expressed any intention of abandoning Montreal.On the contrary it has intimated that it desires to have extensive terminal facilities at this port.The company'a rails do not extend to Montreal, but it has in the past brought large quantities of grain in boats to Montreal from ius ele vators zt Coteau and will probably continue to do so until the railway is extend: ed to this city.It is the intention to send a considerable quantity of grain from Par ry Sound over the Northern Railway to Quebec during the coming season, but it is not likely that the shipments at this port will be reduced &s the company expects to handle a greatly increased volume of business this year, ABOUT SNOW.The London Outlook, insone of ita bright and clevor leaderettes, uses this expression: \u201cIn lands where snow is a condition of nature for half the year, in Canada, Russia, and the Alps, it never fails to bring to the people an exhilaration and sense of beauty.\u201d We have no apologies to make for the climate of Canada.Where and when we have snow it is uscful, helpful and exhilarating.As.Captain.Bernier claims for us the ownership of the North Pole, it may be true that parts of Canada have snow half the year; and on the summit of the Canadian Rockies there is snow all the year.At the same time, it has become neees- sary for Canadians in every such instance as this to protest against the inference that Canada is an exceptionally cold or smow- bound county like \u201cRussia and the Alps.\u201d There are parts of Canada where the cattle live out of doors all the year round and other parts where roses are gathered in the open air at Christmas.There is enough of Canada to make two or three of the British ladles, where snow is as rare as it is in England.In view of the fact that Canada hes abandoned its merry and always attractive winter carnivals, and her people given up the picturesque bright winter blanket garb and become just like other countrics\u2014sunk their distinctiveness of character, so to spcak\u2014 to prevent the English people having the delusion that\u2019 this was a land of \u201cice and snows, we have to remind our English jour nalistic fricnds occasionally that this is only \u201cOur Lady of the Bnows\u201d in a strictly poctic sense, A and little story comes from a German garrison town in Loraine.A little bit of horse play between two officers led to one of them, a Capt.Adams, sending a challenge to the other, a Surgeon Ruger.The meeting was arranged, but did nov take place, because the surgeon's brother, a young lieutenant, deliberately went to the Captain's quarters and shot him dead.The murderer at once gave himself up and explained that he knew the Captain was an excellent ehot, and his brother would have been killed had the mecting taken place.His brother was the head of the house and a man of family, who could not be spared, so he (the Lieutenant) elected to die in his place, knowing, of course, that he would be executed for the murder he was going to commit.- f \u2018 Those who take the trouble to make a colleetion of the literature of the hatchet brigade movement, will have many gems with which to ndèrn their scrap books.The warnings to the joint people to get themselves gone, were often couched in terms around which there was a lurid glare.The the world, although it ie yg counterblaste were also, at times, not with.| out certain vigour -| Moretown.\"works commenced ur of lange.Bere, tor instance, ie he a: aria fn wy in which an ancaltivated joint man wrote to « clergyman in Winfield, Kansas: \u201cAs you have notified us gentlemens to move our Bxtures Wedensday we would advise you marrow minded people to tend strictly to your own business ae we will be here on earth doing business While the Devil will be holding Barbicue over your carcus.\u201d Last July four eggs were Jeft in the doorway of Signora Angela Parizza, of Newark, N.J., and have sinos been the hen-fruitful source of woes and litigation.The Signora was not sued for the value of the eggs, which is said to have been a minus amount.The eggs in fact were mid to be too bad to be beaten.Bignora Parizsa not onlv accused her neighbour Signora Di- rolla of putting the eggs in the doorway, but emphasized her opinion by putting that lady out of business in one round.Au action for $3,000 damages followed and the jury after being locked up for two days and a night were discharged without finding & verdict.A New York paper naively remarks that the crime is still unpunished.If the imprisonment of twelve presumably innocent men for two days and a night is not sufficient punishment, the eggs must have smelt worse than a Prince Edward 1sland election trial.While the legislation as to establishing crematories is being considered, it is important that one dangerous féature of the provosed new method of disposing of the dead should be given due consideration.It has frequently bappened that serious crime, unknown at the time of a death, has afterwards been suspected, and the exhumation of the remains has permitted an autopsy, which has confirmed suspicions and brought the guilty to justice.Quite a number of the noted crimes of recent times would not have been discovered if cremation had been in general use.The advantages of cremation \u2018from a sanitary point of view are great, but it is not the health of the homicide we want to protect.It is not easy to sce exactly how the difficulty is to be overcome, but pos sibly some regulation for keeping the remains of the dead for a certain time in a receiving tomb, before cremation, might lessen the temptation to use of purification by fire to cover crime.Alas, it turns out that Mrs.Nation has not even the poor satisfaction of originating the hatchet brigade movement, It was in use in Kansas two years ago, and the legality of such methods of putting down public nuisancee was made the subject of a case which went as far as the United States Supreme Court.A number of ladies armed with hatchets, went to a place in Miiton- vale, where man was wont to refresh thim- self, and wanted to smash the interior fixtures.The proprietor appears to have objected and fastened his doors.When the ladies proceeded to chop their way in with the family hatchets, the man inside was ungallant enough to fill the crowd full of buckshot.He was arrested and convicted on the ground that he had used unnecessary violence in protecting his property.The court, however, decided that \u201cthe mere fact that some are engaged in unlawful business does not give others any lawful right to des troy the property or injure the person of those so engaged, without intervention of law.\u201d The case was carried up to the Su preme Court, and this judgment sustained.It is to be presumed if the man had used axea against axes, he would have been all right, or if he had loaded with bird shot, even, but buck shot was too much violence.BRITAIN WILL GO HALF WAY, But the U.S.Congress Must Show - Some Disposition to Act Fairly.LONDON.February 25\u2014The draft of | the cabinet\u2019s on the Senate's amendments to the \u2018Hay Pauncefote treaty is in proctss of being drawn up in the Foreign Oftice.While the exact nature of the British counter proposals is till kept secret, it is safe to say that if they are considered ot all by the United States they will entirely prevent a conclusion being reached before the date when the Hay- Pauncefote treaty will lapse.It is stated that Great Bfitnin will be only too delighted to meet the United States Senate's wishes if the Senate shall be equally willing to meet G \u201cBritain's.The mere fact that an adequate discussion of Britain's wishes by the United States Senate was impossible prior to the lapsing of the Hay- Pauncefote trenty was a circumstance over which Great Britain had no control.So far, the United States embassy here is without even the vagueat indication of Great Britain's reply, and Mr.Choate has not veceived any summons from the Foreign Office.In.the ordinary course of events he will pay his weekly diplomatic visit on Tuesday, and it is possible the answer may be elayed until then.Unofficial rumour persists, in putt down Alaska among the subjects a Britain is desirous of having settled prior to meeting the Nicaragua canal demanda.It is learned \u2018that the Colomial Office has been busily engaged in gathering Alaska data within the past few weeks, and this may be taken as partial confirmation of the\u2018 report.However, Mr, Chamberlain's department has serious doubte as to Thother onli Ste States wm consider 8 aN It may be reiterated without the shadow of a doubt that Hay-Pauncefote treaty will Taps, barring always the possibility of the State Department's speedy acceptance of conditions, \u2018that in the ordinary course of events would take months to negotiate.The counter-proposals \u2018are mot, 7 Jade in the be- Nef that they are impossibl acceptance, though they will be Fo with thor ough cognizance of the that no satis factory conclusion could

wharf line to the outer edge of Molson's Shoal, the distance is not much over 300 feet, and this is considered altogether too narrow for a ship channel The Chief Engineer, in answer to the questions of the Commissioners this morning, said that the removal of the rhoal would give an additional 200 feet, making the channel something over 500 feet wide.The idea ia that the Government will furnish the necessary dredges, but whether the Government also intends to stand the expense of tiug the same is not quite so clear to the commissioners.CONFESSED GUILT OF THEFT.James Woods Gives Information

of Maine.One of the promoters describes the consolidation as ' a financial department store.\u201d The fact of basic importance tn the present outlook in Wall Street is the continuance of a strong situatton in American trade, says the New York Post.If such strength were not incontestabty present nt this time, the pending exporiment in finance would be not merely doubtful as to probable results, but positively dangerous.As it is, all avenues of Amerjcan industry point not only to maintenance of recent prosperous conditions, but to a further nd- vance.Taking the present \u2018week alone, it will be found from to-day's summaries that railWay earnings are 7 per cent.larger than in 1900, against less than 3 per cent.Increase in mileage; that business as represented by check exchanges at the clearing houses is larger by 25 per cent.uhd that profits In the various lines of trade contributing to these totals are in most cases very great.Our export trade gives as yet no sign of shrinkage.This is the situation foreshadowed by the advancmg security markets of the past two months.The markets of to-day, after their customary fashion, are not merely reflecting conditions which now exist, but are endeavouring to Pead the future.: \u2014 The speclal correspondent of the Star in Wall Stroet wires as follows regarding that market: The feature during the early trading In to-day's stock market was the heavy buying and sharp advance in the steel stocks.American Tin Plate led in point of galn.The opening sales wero 66, 67 and 70.Prices continued to advance until 79 was rfeuched, & galn of 15 points as compared with the final figures on Thursday.Federal Steel rose 3, preferred 4%, American Steel and Wire, 244; National Steel, 3, and National Tube, 344 points, Towards the close of the first hour there was a reaction and a good part of the improvement was lost.Tho concral list was strong, and a number of falr-sized galns were rccorded during tho initial trading.The higher prices for Americans in London, and the favourable bank statement Saturday aided the advance.= A note of warning ls thrown out by Henry Clews, tho Now York banker.in relation to the character of the Industrial consolidations in the United States.Ile says: The country has now had three successive years of extraordinary financial activity and change.Within that time, fully five miilards of consolidated industrial sc- curities have been issued, in place of leas than half that sum of Issues made by the original independent corporations and without any corresponding addition to the \u201cworking plar\u2018 of thé country.In other words, the leading natlo induatrics have béen over-capitalized to the extent of more than double thelr original true valuatign.In order, therefore, for this class it investments to maintain their former rate of market value, it will be necessary for the \u2018plants to make net eargings equal to -dou- ble their former profits gs separate corporations.! vénture no opinion on the question as to whether the \u2018consolidations can or will dé this.On that matter, it seems to me, the true business attitude ir to regard this great change as an experl- mont In which nothing fa to be taken for graated, but everything left to be deter- M a + ANTED- YOUNG WOMAN ;

of the death in South Africa of Major A.C.Howard, or, as he was better known \u201cGat Howard,\u201d created a profound sensation among military men in the city this morning.For sixteen years, since the North-West Rebellion of 1885, Gat Howard has been a well known and familiar figure 15 Canadian military life.- For many years in his early life a trooper in the United Siates cavalry, he saw service in the Indian wars: in the republic to the South.When the North-West Re: bellion broke out in 1885, he was in com: \"mand of the Gatling Gun Battery of the Counectieut National Guard at New Maven, end was also employed in the Winchester Arms Company's factory.He was engaged by the Dominion Government to take charge of two (athing guns purchased for use during the rebellion.In the advance from Swiit Current to Batoche, during the four days\u2019 fighting which preceded the cap: ture of Riel's position, Howard showed much gallantry, and did great service with \u201chis Gatling gun.; After the rebellion, he was in a dozen different schemes in Cunada.He was instrumental in establishing the Dominion Cartridge Factory at Brownsburg, near lLa- chute, and became its manager.About Brown-burg he bas a reputation for ¢ceentricity,but was much beloved for his warm-hearted generosity to the poor and unfortunate.- When the Canadian Mounted Rifles wete recruited for service in South Africa, How: ard at once offered his rervices, and went out as licutenant in charge of the machine n acction attached to the regiment.I'here again he carned a reputation for bravery.When ck ca dashiag the Mounted Rifles were ordered home; Gat Howard offered his services to General Lord Kitchener, and was given cgmmand of a body of what wére known as Canadian ecouts numbering onc hundred, six ,colt guns and a pom-pom.He was also given the rank of major.In a recent letter from him published in the Star, Major Howard said he thought the war in South Africa would last a vear longer, and that he might returh in July and recruit a regiment of half-breeds to fight the Boers.WOULD CERTAINLY BE SHOT.Shartly after the return of Licut.-Col.Les- gard of the First Canadian Mounted Rifles \u2018a number of officer~ were chatting at the Military Institute.Major Howard had been attached to his regiment and he had oppor tumties for knowing him pretty well.The lientenant-colonel remarked to his friends that there wa- not the slizhtest doubt that Howard would be shot one of these days.Conversation of a few minutes previous led one of his listeners to ask: \u201cYou don't mean by one of his own men, do you?\u201d HER FLESH WAS NUMB AND DEAD.Remarkable Case of Mrs.Robt.Chambers, Bass River, N.8S, \" After Two Doctors Failed, Milburn's fleart and Nerve Pills gave her back the use of

that ever went on a field, und he will never leave it alive.\u201d WAS ONLY AN INSTRUCTOR.Yet Howard Rushed to Front and Showed Canadians How to Handle Gun.Lieut.Col.Peters, D.0.C., knew the late Major Howard very well.The lieu- teuant-colonel was captain of the compan which had charge of the Gatling gun ated by Howard.Howard had been went to the North-West at the time of the Rebellion by the firm which sold the Gatling Kuns.His mission was simply to show the Canadian officers how to manipulate the gun, and he was at the time attached to an American militia company, and wore the American uniform.When the fighting grew warm he forgot that Le was simply an instructor, and, rushing with his gun to the front, he manipulated it with eB tible destruction to the enemy.Lieut-Col.Peters says that he showed the same pluck in every move he made at that time, as be has since he became a Canadian and fought for the British Empire in South Africa.There was quite a rumpus over the uniform of the American army being found in the fighting line of the Canadi s, but it soon wore off, and Howard not Tong afterwards took the oath of allegiance to the Briush Crown, A DARING MILITARY SPIRIT.Lijeut.-Col.Gardner, of Sixth Fusiliers Speaks of Dead Canadian Hero.Lt.-Col.Gardner, of the Sixth Fusiliers, spoke of the dead Canadian soldier to-day Fimsvi the wannest admiration.\u20ac Was à very brave man and a most gil] lant soldierand I regret his death more than 1 can express,\u201d said Col.Gardner, in the course of an interview this morning.\u201cThe man was absolutely without fear, reckless and daring te an extraordinary degree.1 bavé known him well for many years and have bad the pleasure of enter taining him at my residence.He was an agreeable talker and a very pleasant com- banion.His mind was stored with a won: dexful collection of stirring incidents in connection with his.experience in the North-West Rebellion.These he would relate at table with infinite relish and gusto._ \u201cTo illustrate the character of the man, it is only necessarÿ to read his letter pub- hshed, but a day or two ago.ln it he in R _makes an engagement to meet a friend in London in June next, NO THOUGHT OF DEATH.He never qualifies the matter at all, never adds that the appointment is conditional upon his escaping the bullets of the enemy! \u201cGat\u201d Howard never thought of such a thing.The contingency of death never occurred to him.\u201cIn the operations in the North-West, Howard waa cver the first in the position of danger.While hc was at the front at that time, his son was born.On his return he had the child christened Strauben- zee after his friend, Lt.-Col.Straubenzee, at that .time D.A.G.T he two officers wcre great friends during the North-West campaign and Howard took this method of per petuating the friendship.\u201cHoward served in the American war, and had the rank of lieutenant in the Sec: ond Conncctioutt Volunteers.In hia death Canada hoa lost a very daring milita epirit.There will be wides rend regret at this latest news from the front.\u201d \u2014 HOWARD IN THE NORTH-WEST.Was Always to the Front With His Machine Gun Exhibiting Reck- \u201cJess Bravery._ During the rebellion in the North-West in 1883, Captain Howard, as he was then known.did splendid service, and in this way first became known to the Canadian public.When the relxilion broke out, the General in Command of the Forces in Catada found that he had no machine guns, Major-Gencral Middleton sent to the Gov: crnment at Ottawa a demand for machine gun: at the shortest possible notice.The order was placed with the Gatling Gun Company oi Bridgeport, Conn.The cam pany.had not a representative of its own available at the time to sond with ths guna to Canada.Capt.Howard, who had formerly been a trooper in the United States Cuv- alry, and was then in command of the Gatling Battery of the Connecticut National Guard of New Maven, was employed to explain the working, of the new guns to the Canadian officers.He accompanied the guns to the frgnt, where he earned a re.vutation by his réekless conduct aul dashing bravery.\\ 1 CAPTAIN CHAMBERS TRIBUTE: Captain Eruest J.Chambers, of the ince of Wales Fusiliers, who went \u2019 the North West in 188 with the Sixth sili «péaxing to a Star reporter ut Capt.Howard, suid that he behaved with frat gollantry during the four days\u2019 \u201cfight- ig at Batocle.\u2018He wis a strange ful.low,\u201d «aid Capt.Chambers, \u201cand as foll of resource as he was of dashing courage.\" Canadian Government ordered the two was what arc known as naval machine guas whith are dragged about with ropes by band.Howard wae compelled to these guna vp with poles, buy horses, raddiery and all the equipment.Ile did this in an incredibly short time and landed \u201cwt the fropt with two guns complete in every way.One of the guns he turned over to Major Short, of \u201cR\u201d Hattery, which, as you know, accompanied Col.Otter\u2019s column to Fish k.while he himsclf went on with the other and joined the force under command of Major eneral Sir Frederick Middicton, Ï vas advancing on the st the enemy at Batoche.Tonghoid o HOWARD ALWAYS IN FRONT.It waa during this advance that I got to know a good deal\u201d about Howard.To was always in front of the advance with that fun of his and was known for his reckless bravery, It was easy to sec that he was an old regular soldier and had seen cervice fighting Indians before.I soon found out that he had served as a trooper in the Apache Country and also on the Minnesota frontier.He had been a trooper in Major Renos\u2019 command at the time of the Little Big Horn mas-ucro, when à bum- ber of the officers of Howard's regiment, whn were with Custer, were killed by the Indians.I think it was during \u201cthe first day's advacce from Swift Current we came pcroas some Indian topees, which Howard and I entered.I picked up an Indian hunting knife of peculiar design.1 handed it over ta Howard, who at once exclaimed: By thundder,it'a one of our regimental swords cut down.\u2019 An examination showed that he was right.The sword had probably been taken by the Indians from some of the officers with Cus ter and cut down to make a hunting knife, for we found the number and maker's name on the blade.remember Howard was s0 !nterested in this relie of his old regiment that 1 turned it over to him.Poor old Howard he was a brave chap !\u201d- EIGHT BULLETS PIERCED.BODY Lieut.-Col.Cole Tells of One of éGat?s\u201d) Feats With His Mn- chine Gun.Lieut.Col.Cole, in speaking of \u201cGat.\u201d Howard to a Star reporter this morning, said that phe intrepid artilleryman rendered invaluable service to General Middle ton\u2019a column during the North-West rebellion of 1883.On that occasion he was mn charge of the Gatling gun, baving been sent tn the North-West to o te the same by the manuïneturera at the request of the Dominion Government.At Batoche the gun did splendid execution under his supervision, the enemy being mowed down right and left.Col.Cole says that \u201cGat\u201d used to say that he worked that gum so fast that most of the killed among the cnemy hadn\u2019t time to drop without getting more than one bullet in them.In one instance a body was found pierced hy no less than eight bullets, all of whi- came from the \u201cGatling.\u201d \u201cGat\u201d used to ray that this particular man must have been struck simultancously by all the eight bullets, and he always alluded to the feat as an illustration of the thorough ness and rapidity with which he had worked the deadly instrument of war.SETTLED IN LACHUTE.After the North-West rebellion \u201cGat\u201d settled in Lachute, where he had induced the Government to establish a cartridge factory.\u201cJust like \u2018Gat,\u2019 \u201d said a man to a Star reporter this morning.\u201cHe always wanted to be where ie could be blown up without n moment's notice.The man never seemed to be thoroughly happy unless he was in a dangerous position.1 believe that nothing delighted him more than facing the bullets on the South African veldt.1 have had two or three lettere irom friends of nunc out there, and they all say that he seemed to be afraid of nothing.He always rode a white horse, and you kuow what kind of à target an animal of that description makes.Nobody could induce him to use a horse of any otker colour, and \u201cGat and his white horse\u201d became a proverb out there.One of my correspondents in describing \u201cGat's\u201d herdism, said that he never scemed nappier than when pulling the bullets out of his whiskers, so to speak.He would work sround that Colt gun of his, with the enemy lesa than 200 yards away and with scores of bullets dropping all around him.On more than one occasion his recklessness nearly cost him the gun and the lives of his men, but somehow or other he always managed to outwit the enemy and get awuy in RATE.1 believe that one of our Canadian officers, having in view his utter dis regard of the life of his men, advised the men of his Battery not to enlist with \u201cGat\u201d when the latter undertook to raise a detachment of Canadian scouts out of the different Canadian contingents for =cr- vice in South Africa, after the bulk of the contingents had left for home.\u201d - _ Pr LL OTTAWA MOURNS HOWARD.\u201cGat\u201d?Was a General Favourite and All Regret His Demise.HE IS DESCRIBED BY FELLOW OFFICERS AS «BRAVE TO A FAULT\u201d\u2014GOOD STORIES ABOUT HIM.(Special to the Star.) OTTAWA, February 25\u2014The one topic in military circles to-day is the death of \u201cGat\u201d Howard 4nd every one has a tribute of affectionate remembrance of ove who was so dearly loved by all who knew him.\u201cBrave to a fault,\u201d Gat Howard, first «ame to Canada in troublous times.In 1883 when the Riel rebellion broke out, the Canadian Government made overtures to the Gatling Gun Company to purchase from them some of their guns.They replied that they would not sell the guns as they would be useless unless the Government secured the services of an officer used to them and their mechanism.They recommended Captain Howard of New Haven, who they said was willing to come if the Canadian Government secu permission from the Governor of that State.EAGER FOR THE FRAY.When the Transvaal trouble broke out Captain Howard was all agog, rushing te Ottawa: He wrote from Col.Sherwood» oftice a letter to Hon, Dr.Borden offerin to equip and send out a battery of artillery at his own expense, going with it, This offer was not accepted but he was enabled to go with the rank of major with the sec.SEEMS LIKE A DREAM To he now entirely free from Asthma after .eight years\u2019

characteristic story.At Vet River, when Major-General Hutton was waiting developments, Major Ioward, mounted on a magnificent charger, with a black saddle.looking fit as n fiddle, came dushing up, his guns clattering on\u2019 behind him.\u201cGeneral,\u201d he cried, \u201chia eyes blazing, \u201cwhere's the enemy?where's the enemy?\u2019 General Hutton did not reply r a moment, but just then a hursting shell told where the cnemy was, Putting spurs to his horse and calling on his men to follow, Howard was off and had his guns in an excellent position before General Hutton could recover his breath.Immediately he did this, the peneral sent a staff officer to order Howard to the rear, where he went, muttering low, but heartily.his condemnation of General Hutton.It has been hinted in many quarters that had Howard been allowed to meintain hia position our losses at Vet River would have been less.ANOTHER GOOD STORY.An evewitness tells the following story of Howard nt a point 45 miles west of Springs.The ball had not opened when Howard galloped up.\u201cCionera), let me take that kopje over there.\u201d \u201cNo.you fool,\u201d replied that officer, \u201cyou'll get yourself killed.\u201d \u201cHow the devil do you ever expect us to fight unless some of us get killed?\u2019 was the response.He went off, took the kopie and then the Boers commenced to rush hi guns, His Tommies bolted on him, leaving him and Eddie Holland alone.Un.slinging the Winchester he always ear ried.Howard shot every man who raised his head whilst Holland worked the gun.The kopje was held and was important.At his farewell dinner to the first-von- tingent officers, he spoke cheerfully of coming home, and in replv to a caution of Major Rogers, said: \u201chey can't kill me.\u201d .HOWARD'S

and two children.All went down together: - Mrs.Wildman was on the ship's Jadder, nnd Pilot Jordan, with one of her children in his arms, was close behind urging her to hurry.She hesitated, and wanted to make certain that her children were safe.At the rail, directly behind Captain\u2019 Ward, stood Mr.Wildman, with his other child.There was a loud report like an explosion.The deck had been driven asunder by the air which was forced up beneath it by the water.The ship went down like a cannonball thrown into the water.Pilot Jordan went down with her, and was one of the few who came to the surface again.The Wildmans were all drowned.The pilot floated about for two hours, when he was picked up in an exhausted condition, and carried into San Francisco.W000 0.0.0.000000000000 0000000 ® © 2

Wonderfully Changed, Construction of Steamships Will be Rovolutionized, and Steam Engines Will be of the Past.NEW YORK, February 25.\u2014Thomas A.Edison, 8r., that genius of electricity, has invented a roal storage battery.Without going into technicalitles it can be briefly stated that In à storage battery is stored enough chemical energy to produce an elec- You can tap electricity from a storage battery, s0-to speak.And, of course, the current can be used in any one of innumerable ways to do any of the innumerable things done by the current produc ed at a stationary plant.A real, practical storage battery such »s the genius of electricity has Invented has | been the dream, the dosire, the goal of Ÿ «fr eluctriclans for many decades.Buch a storage battery must not be and must be compact.It must be cheap.\\ It must be so constructed as to be easily and cheaply charged, and able to hold the chargo for a long time, .=~.ac \u2018There must be no danger of ovorchargiag fr, bas csv

one on the mar an entirely now entirely different plan storage battery.It is something absolutely now.-Mr.Edison is golng South, and when he ever, for it will be neccssary for Mr.Bdi- son to establish a factory.It is learned that capitalists who own patonta for electrical machinery now regarded as wonderfully effective are very doeply stirred by the Information that Edison's practical reservoir for the great- ost motive power is nearly roady for the market.These capitalists see their own patents aupersedcd, useless; their machinery so much junk.For the Invention of n, real, practical, cheap storage battery, with the properties hore deacribed, will revolutionize manufactures, commerce.With such a storage battery in existence and cheap, coal will cost Nttle more than sand, for there will be few uses to which coal can be put.Steam, smoke, soot, ashes will nearly disappear.WARFARE REVOLUTIONIZED.Sea travel, naval warfare will be won- dortully changed.So will the construction of steamships, for the coal bunkers will be infinitely smaller.Storage batturies, not steam engines, will propel the steamers, whose voyages will be faster and can be longer, because there will be more room for provisions.\u2018 \u2018 There need be no coaling stations for these huge, floating fighting machines, the modern battleships.A ficet can keep at sea as long as its provisions last.So, In all probability, there will be fewer wars, tor wars will bé moro destructive.~~ There will be no, more trolley lines, nor | trolley cars; locomofives will move almost steam and gasoline autmobiles silently; will be of the past.Citizens who live in respectable poverty will never again be in fear and trembling lest the gas company whose bills they have failed to pay may cut off the gas and leave them in utter darkness.Residences and offices will no longer be lighted by gas, but in each bullding there will be a private power plant sufficient to give all the light necessary.From this plant, also, all the necessary heat will be taken.There will be no more last winter's coal -bllls to hang like millstones \u2018round the necks of housekeepers.The dally housework, too, will, tn great part, be done by the power from the privat: plants.In a word, stored electricity will be a lamp unto the citizen's feet, a fire to warm him, a housemald unto his wife.Production will also be revolutlonized.Farmers will run their ploughs by electricity.The produce will be ralsed on soil tilled by machines run by storage batte- rles.Stock will be fed on the products of that same soll.The linen shirt a man wears will have been transported by elac- tric power from factories, where It was made by electric power, out of a plant ralsed on land fllled by electric power.But why multiply these examples?\u201cThe twentieth century, thanks to Edison, will be the ago of stored electricity.Nor will there be long to walt before the wonders done by a real storage battery manifest themselves, : WILL BE CARDINAL Archbishop Martinelli, Apostolic Delegate to the U.S., Will Get Purple Robes.ROME, February 25.\u2014The report that \u2018Archbishop Martinelli, Apostolic Delegate to the United States will be created a Cardinal, is confirmed./ MOST REV ARCHBISHOP SEBASTIAN MARTINELLL Mgr, Martinelli has filled the office of pa delegate in the United States since The scarlet ebarretti, the official insignia of the cardinals office, will no doubt be given to Archbishop Martinelli by Cardinal Gibbons in the Cathedral at Baltimore.Before this first honour can be conferred upon the newly created Cardinal, the Pope's two special messengers from Rome must arrive with the official notice of the appointment.These messengers will be, one, a Roman priest of distinction and the other a lay member of the ancient Roman Guard.They will bring the official notice of appointment, the scarlet sbarretti and the insignia of the Sacred College.After Archbishop Martinelli has \u2018received his first degree of honour from the hands -of Cardinal Gibbons, he will proceed to Rome to have conferred upon bim the crowning.honour of the cardinalate.This will consist of receiving from the hands of Pope Leo himself the cardinal\u2019s red hat, a wide-brimmed piece of headgear with triangular tassels of silk hanging from its sides.It is merely an emblem of the office of cardinal, and is never worn.\u201cen when the bat is given to a newly made cardinal it is not placed on the head, but simply held over the recipient of the honour.| e life history of Sebastian Martinelli is full of interest.He went to Rome when he was 15 years of age, from his birthplace at Santa Anna, Lucea, in Tuscany.He was born in that little town on August 20, 1848, and is now in his 53rd year.His parents were Sosimo and Madelina Martinelli, who had five children, three of whom embraced the ministry, and one of whom, besides Sebastian won the purple robes of a cardinal.Tommaso Maria Martinelli, Sebns- tian\u2019s eldest brother, was the first cardinal of the family.Sebartian\u2019a church work hegan soon after he reached Rome, in his 15th year.He joined the Holy Augustinian
