Â GRBDITAnLE RECORD

“For the past thirty ycBr«,”sav8 iho Wood* stock ?€n‘hi<-l Revi.*iv, “the Liberals have OOQtroüed thj affairs of Ontario. liuriug (hat time they have spint scores of mil* lions of dollars. They have built railways everywhere. They have built most of our oharit&ble ioatitntioos and the new legislative buildings. They have given back money in enormons some to the people for many objects. They have administered the affairs of the province, developed its reeonroes, managed the pnblio iostitnlious, kept ns frê from debt and maintaiued a large surplus iu the treasury. And during all these years there has never been a single scandal brought homo to the govern* ment nor to an^ member of it. Aod a)* most the same can be said of the whole administrative service of the province, of the officials who have transacted its affairs in all branches of the public service. A vigilant opposition has never been able to show that a dollar of public money has been spent by the government corruptly ; while general charts of extravagenco have always fallen on deaf ears for lack of evidence to support them. Such a record,

' we venture to say, it would bo difficult to parallel in the legislative history of any country in the world. It is something which the Liberal party and province have reason to be proud of. It is not sorprising, therefore, that there should be amazement and indignation that A F^tty with such a

. record should be accused of wrong doing through the folly and rascality of a few men who were working for it in the riding of Weet Elgin. But the work of these men and the fuss which is now being made over it bring into greater relief by way of con* trast the splendid record of admibistrative parity which the Liberal party of Ontario has made for itself during these 80 years. A party which has mode such a record will continue to merit public confidence. It will do its duty in an honest and vigilant effort to put a stop in future to electoral corruption* The theory that a governmeut and a whole political party should be condemned and overthrown for the mis* deeds of a few will not be accepted by the electorate of Ontario, especially when it is advanced by those who have shown themselves willing to condone any political offence on the part of thoir friends. The West Elgin case has stimulated the hopes of the Opposition. But these hopes will be blasted as they have been very often during the loet quarter .of*a*ceDtQry.’*

AN UNPRECEDENTED INCREASE

Reports of Sir Charles Tapper’s speech on the Bubjeot of preferential trade quote him as having said that “he had gone carefully into calculations, and instead of having increased the trade with Great Britain the trade of Canada to-day with the Mother Country was smaller than ij was ih 1896, before ^minis*

the .ItoBrifiinn. That was oer- '■ tainly not a satisfactory result, and he

was satisfied that with the adoption of a policy of preferential trade (as outlined in bis motion), which all recognized as one that was going to be of enormous value to

' the Dominion, there would be such an increase in the population and in the industrial capacity of Canada as was unpreoedeuted.”

There Is no knowing, of course, just how 8ir Charles went about bis calculations, but there is certainly an idea abroad iu the land (hat his conclusions are at fault, and

. that there hoe been more trade with Great Britain sipce the Fielding tariff than at any time in Canada’s history. As Sir Charles evidently bad in mind Canada’s exports to Britain, Ü may not bo amiss to Institute some comparisons between the financial year 1898, (he last for which complete returns are available, and the fiuan* dal year 1895, when Sir Charles was still High Commissioner in London. Thus, for example, in the matter of exports of forest products there has been a wholesome improvement, as witness the following comparative table :

Exports to Great Britain— ■“'i 189Ô. 1898.

Deals, pine 19,810,040 $ 3,788,871 Deals, ^ruoe 4,610,219 7,094,801 Planks*... V. 498,486 1,074,519 Ends.. 454,993 016,016

Total ♦7,868,738 ♦12,674,206 Here, at any rate, there has been no

falling off, but rather an unprecedented t'- increase^ In the other departments of trade, Wiffrgument fares no better. In live stodc diipments, for example, (be

In secondary products of live stock the increased trade has becu notoriously great, no other word meeting tbe.oase so well as the “unprecedented” which Sir Charles chooses to employ :

♦19,080,220 ♦28,711,764 There is no need to go all through the

' list of exports, for all tell the same story. It iday be as well, however, to* show by

. comparative tables bow great has been (he develoênt in tbei department of exports as to which there might be reasonable

. exouae for failure, in view of the tremend- ous competition of professed manufactur* îz)g oountries. Yet even in exports of manufactures Canada’s increase in business has been “unprecedented.”

TUB 8EKATK ANI> rRDlSTniBDTlON. Ottawa, July 24tb.—The crack of the

party whip has, after all, proved too much for Cooservativo Senators to withstand.and so, with the exception of Senators DeBou- cherville and Poirier,lbe wholoTory following iu the Upper House has again become the willing tool of party leaders in holding op the Redistribution Bill. Although they did not attempt to hoist tiio bill they never- theless took just as effective a step by post- poning the enactment of the legislation upon the ground that the time for it was inopportune. In tbiu contention they duti- fully echoed the sole argument of Sir Char- les Tapper that it was unconstitutional to redistribute the parliamentary seats during (he interim between the taking of the de- cennial'ceusus. Few, however, can possibly credit this as the motive which in- duced Sir Mackenzie Bowell to lead the Tory majoiity of the Senate to the defeat of the government measure. No one can mista'ice the dotermioaiion of Conservatives (omaintain every advantage which they now possess over the electorate of Canada, and particularly over the Liberal portion of it in Ontario which they have so long muzzled, either by fair means or foul. This plain fact is but very clumsily hid under the specious argument that redistribution can only be lawfully made at the time immediately subséquent to a taking of the census. Tories well understood that a restoration of the gerrymandered oonsUtuencies to their original county limits would, of course, be favorable to Liberal interests, and they are therefore quite determined, so long as (hoy possess the power by means of the servile senate majority,of thwarting the popular will, to maintain any and every base advantage so meanly gained in the

Many fair and honestly disposed Conser- vatives considered that as the people had given their express mandate to the present government to'redross the great wrong per- petrated opon the Liberal party in Ontario by the Gerrymander of 1832, the popular will should be carried out, if there was no disposition shown by the government to undertake, on their .part, a like gerrymander in the Liberal interest. When the redistribution proposals were brought down to parliament they at once disclosed the fair and impartial endeavor of the government to give effect to the voice of the people, particularly was this impartiality shown, as it is admitted, in the scheme to have the division of such counties as would require to be divided for electoral purposes, made by an independent, non-partisan tri bunal composed of the highest judges in the province. In the face of this, and other considerations, the killing of the bill must come to the honest element of the Tory following not only as somewhat of a surprise, but with a deepening of the degreda- tion into which the party bosses are thrust- ing their people. It is a glaring advertise- ment as well to all concerned 01 the lamb- like docility of the ^^y majority ia- tlie-|

^per^îanrtiêrtoThe commands of party managers.

By the defeat of the redistribution mea- snre the Senate practically re-enacts the Gerrymander of 1882. Its action has again demonstrated the truth and wisdom of (be declaration by the. Reform Conven- tion that the Senate, being independent of the people and in no way could be miade responsible to the popular will, was therefore defective m its existing constitution and needed reformation. No other proof is necessary to show the public the utter futility of maintaining popular government while so great a menace to such exists in the shapa of ap Upper House, the vast majority of the members of which, are so closely wedded 'to party interests and so thoroughly blinded by party prejudices, so completely wanting in that independence of character which that body was intended to refleot and which ought to exhibit, as to be over ready tc respond to the call of their party bosses to do the work referred to them no matter how discreditable, it may be.

It seems that the will of the popular majority is a very small circumstance in the minds of Tory Senators of to-day. It has been remarked, and with much of ap- parent truthfulness, that the government of Canada is really “of the. Senate, by the Senate and for the Tory party.” The action 01 the Senate for the past two years cannot be taken otherwise than to force the conviction upon the minds of thinking Canadians, that, so long os a Conservative majority dominates the Upper House, the real gbverning power wi)l remain vested in the Conservative party. Were the position of both parties the reverse to-day, could anyone mistake the character and volnme of the outcry which would be raised by Conservatives. Who would bo more in- sistent or louder in their demands for relief from the existing condition of things than these selfsame Tory leaders who now de- nounce Senate reform as to the laying of unholy hands upon the sacredness of the constitutional provision. Blinded by party bigotry the Opposition fail to perceive that they are taking the very course which is calculated to hasten the government’s proposal to reform the Senate^

THB AIASXAN 8ITÜAT10X.

The debate on the Alaskan boundary question in the Commons, last Saturday, plainly reveals the fact that a critical point has been reached in dealing with that matter. There is, however, nothing in Si^ IVilfrid Laurier’s remarks to warrant in the kast degree the scare headlines to be seen in many of the leading Canadian and American newspapers. The alternative of war is absurd as between the two nations, and theFremior merely used the phraseology which has caused so much wild talk forihe purpose of emphasizing the fact that an amicable artangement by arbitration must surely result in the eventual solution of the question. One thing has been .disclosed, however, and that is, that the Opposition have abandoned their purpose of making a party issue .out .of the government’s manner of dealing with the boundary difficulty. The speech of Sir Charles Tapper on Saturday is an open confession that the courao of the ministry in regard to the problem has been of the most statesman- like character and taken in the true interests of. Canada throughout the whole controversy. In this respect party lines are broken down and Conservatives join with Liberals in commending and support- ing the stand taken by the Premier and his cabinet in regard to the Canadian contention. Sir Charles Topper has practically offered a coalition government on all matters pertaining to the maintainance of what baa been advanced by the government as the inalienable rights of Canada iu the disputed territory of Alaska.

In view of the evident gravity of the eitutation, and to relieve the tension which may bé now prevailing in diploma- tic circlea, the desire for immediate settlement of the vexed question is intanaifiod

and the idc'^ of making some proper con- cessions to the United Slates may no*, ho 80 distasteful to Canadians ginstrally. The determination, howev^'r, to makn no national sacrifice can never bo shaken even should the worst of the two alternatives mentioned by the Premier, arbitration or war, arise as a consequence. .Rumors have been rife in Tory circles, of late, that tho government proposed to go to tho country this year, and that the government’s policy upon the Alaskan question would bo made an issue in the campaign. This fact was indicated by the course pursued by Sir Charles Tupper who, after the adjourn- ment of the international con- ference at Washington, vohemont- ly denouncod the government for not immediately breaking off further negotiations opon tho refusal of the American Commissioners to accept the Canadian arbitration proposal. A notable feature of Sir Charles Topper’s speech on theAlaskan subject, last Saturday, was his unreserved and complete rctracticn of ibis utterance. There is therefore no party * issue on the the government’s position in the Alaskan matter which is now adopted by Con- servatives and made a national question.

For more than four years Mrs. Bender has been using Dr. Pierce’s G-olden Med- ical Discovery as a family medicine.

Mrs. E. A. Bender lives in Keene, Cosh(x:ton Co., Ohio, and from there

she writes : *'Aa a cough

remedy and blood purifier

f there w nothing better, and after having the grip is just the right medicine for a complete bracing up. Oiirboyhas taken three bottles for St. Vitus’s dance. He wa.s very nerv’ou.s and constantly jerk- ing and twitch-

ing, but now is a.s steady a.s nny one; in fact seems entirely cured.”

The “ Golden Medical Discovery ” is a medicine that yrill help you no matter what ails you. This is true because it works directly at the roots of all disease —the digestive system, the blood, the nervoB. Keep these in healthy condition and you cannot be sick.

Many of the cures of the “ Golden Medical Discovery ” seem almost mirac- ulous. Its effect is almost immediate. It takes hold at once. It tones up the stomach, invigorates the liver, regulates the bowels.

It gets right into the blood and carries strength and coniTort to every fiber of the lx)dv. It nourishes and invigorates the weakened, irritated nerves and puts the entire system in perfect tune.

It is a safe medicine. Safe for adults —safe for children. It contains no sugar, synip, whisky, alcohol or dangerous opi- ates._ , Therefor,e, it does not create a craving for stimulants. It is distinctly a temperance mèdîcine.

If a medicine dealer tries to substitute some other preparation when yon ask for ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery”—look out for him. He is either ignorant or dis- honest and yoû cant trust him.

TESTEMONIAL. To whom it may (concern

This I» to certify that it has been uccossary for me to wear spectacles for the last twenty- six-years, and doHng that time I have broken ana lost many pairs. On accoaut of ray eyes being very weak I consulted some pf the best city opticians of the United States and- Canada, paying as high as és per pair for glasses. One year ago I rMuired a now pair and decided to give Mr. UcLeister, Chemist and Optician, of Alexandria, a trial, the result was'that he fitted me with the best pair of spectacles I have ever had, and I speak from experience as I have been wearing his glosses for a year and can read for hours bylampllght-withontthe slightest trouble. My eyas, being completely rested, are growing stronger, and I have much pleasure iu recom- mending Mr. McLeister to ânyone requiring properly fitting spectacles.

Among the stops provided for on the outward trip are the following and on the days specified : Port Arthur, Aug. 10 ; Rat Portage, Aug. lUh ; Winnipeg, Aug. 12th and 18th ; Portage la Prairie, Aug. 14th ; Brandon, the same afternoon ; Regina, Aug. 15th ; Calgary, Aug. 16th ; Banff, Aug. 19th ; Vancouver, Aug. 20th, and the three following days, during which time a flying visit will bo paid to Victoria, Esquimalt, New Westminster and Seattle. On the return journey the following points, among others, will bo visited : Revelstoke, Aug. 23th ; Rossland, Aug. 26th ; Nelson, Aug. 27th. Mr. A. G. F. Macdonald, of this paper, purposes taking m this excureion, and knowing that many Glengariians are to-day residing at the places just named, publishes the list iu the hope that it may be the means of his personally coming in contact with a number of them and pleasantly beguiling an hour or two in a chat about old Glengarry and the now homo of their adoption.^ The information thus gleaued would doiibtless prove of a hi^ly interesting character to the readers of this journal and \vou!d receive every consideration at onr hatjds. Mr. Macdon- ald thc-veforo hopes that it will hs his good fortune to meet many Glongarrians on this occasion. Hunt him np, b.>)S.

MRS FINLAY FRASER

At Montrevl, on July 14th, there d;'part- ed this life, Ann McDonald, widow of tho late Finlay Fraser. The deceased lady who was in her 74th year, formerly reîd* d at Lochiel, and 12 years ago removed to Montreal where she has since resided with her family. One son and four daughters, one of whom is married, Mrs Alex Gow, and resides in Montreal, still remain to mourn the loss of a fond and loving mother. The remains which arrived in Alexandria on July 17th were interred the same day in tho Kirk Hill cemetery, and were followed by a large number of friends and relatives who wished to show their respect for one who had endeared hereself to all with whom she had come in contact.

MUNRO—MeINTOSH

A very happy event took place near Moose Creek on Wednesday, July 2Cth. at the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. James McIntosh, when D. D. Munroe, of Montreal, but formerly of Maxville, and Miss Lillie McIntosh were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed by the Rev J McKenzie. Miss Ethel Mc- Intosh acted as bridesmaid while J A Mnnro, of South Finc’i, was groomsman. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and valuable presents. After the ceremony being performed, the invited guests partook of a bountiful repast. Mr and Mrs Munro took the evening train at Moose Creek for a trip to the Queen City and other western towns and from thence to their home in Montreal, followed by the best wishes of friends in which tbe ‘News’ joins.—Moose Creek correspondent.

A HIGHLY SATISFACTORY INSPECTION

By appointment, V. G. Chisholm, Secy Treas. of the Glengarry Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Co, met W. J. Vale, of the Insurance Department, Toronto, in Corn- wall ooMonday for the purpose of an official inspection of the books, accounts, vouch- ers, etc,of the aboveCompany. Owing to the thoroughly business like manner in which tho same were kept, tho task was a light one and showed tho Company to be in a moat flourishing condition. The inspector highly complimented Mr Chisholm on the manner in which his books, etc, were kept. Though practically in us infancy the Company has had phenominal and well deserved success, the amount of which will be seen by the following table, which covers the business done since its establish- ment four years ago :— No. of policies issued - • 1,482 Amount of Insurance at risk $1,325,982.00 Residue premium note capital-$ 31,811.67 Cash in bank - - $ 6,851.44

The Glengarry Farmers’ Mutual has passed from the stage of being an experi- mental, to a well established iosurance company, deserving the patronage of tho farmers iu this and surrounding counties.

DAMAGED BY LIGHTNING

Early on Friday morning, Sam Mac- donell’e C P R telegraph and stationery office was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was sounded and notwithstanding the unreasonable hour the firemen responded promptly and soon had tho tire under control. The interior of- the building, as well as his stock of cigars, stationery, etc., were considerably damaged by fire and water. Tho telegraph instruments were also destroyed. P. Leslie's hardware stock also sustained considerable^ .damage from water and smoke* While Mr.Leslie’s loss is fully. Covered by insurance, Mr. Macdonetl’s loss is entire, as he earned no insurance. The tire is supposed to have been caused by lightning entering tho building on the telegraph wire. The C.P. Telegraph Co. immediately sent a man to replace the telegraph instruments and re- wire the building, so that Sam will be found at tbe old stand doing business as heretofore. The Phœnix Fire Insurance Co., of which A. G. F. Macdonald is Alex- andria agent, aud in which company Mr. Leslie’s risk was carried, sent a representative to town that same evening, and with their usual promptness andfairdealing.had tho loss amicably adjusted within a very short time.

BURGLARS AT GLEN NEVIS

On Friday evening the presbytery at Glen Nevis was the scene of not only an attempted, but a ' partially successful burglary. The ‘Knights of the Jimmy’ first attempted to effect an entrance by a window on the east side of the building, not being successful they started to remove the putty off the office door but finding that that too slow, they pried open the door with a bar or chisel, twisting the lock out of position. After ransacking several drawers, and the writing desk from which they took three or four dollars in coppers, and some odd coins which Father McRae had been collecting for tho past 20 years, they made their way to the cellar where they lunched. Miss McRae, who with her mother and brother. Father Mc- Rae, occupy rooms on the uppe»* flat, hearing a noise, got up, but tbe burglars made good tbeir escape, taking with them a violin which they left on the steps in front of the church. The miscreants were not utterly devoid of humor, as they left iu Father McRae’s office a box of cartridges, tied with a ribbon, which they evidently intended that be should use in repelling intruders.

SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS

Time did not permit us in our last week’s issue to analyze briefly the 'results of the Public School. Leaving and Entrance examinations recently held, in Alexandria, Lancaster, Williamstown and Maxville. The results at tbe several places, show that the candidates have been signally successful, reflecting great credit, not only on themselves, but also on the several teachers who were most assiduous, and pains- taking in their efforts. At Alexandria the highest marks on the P. S. Leaving wore obtained by Margaret F. McLean, while Jack Schell, son of J. T. Schell, of this place, headed the list of successful entrance candidates, obtaining 780 marks, Miss Dina, daughter of Alex Lalonde, Alexand- ria, obtained tho splendid number of 676 marks. Her success is remarkable from the fact that she being ofFronch parentage, made such a creditable showing, while writing on an English examination. Geo. McLennan of the SepartSchool obtained747. At Lancaster 839 marks were made by H W Scott, at the P. S- Leaving, \vhile K. A. McLennan headed the Entrance pupils with 668. Ethel Clayton, who wrote at Williamstown, headed the county list of successful P. S. Leaving candidates with 898 marks, while Edith De La Matter, of tbe same place, obtained a similar distinction among tbe Entrance candidates, her marks amounting to 820. At Maxville tho highest marks at the P. S. Leaving were 775, Leonard MoDougall being tho fortunate one ; 692 being the highest obtained at the Entrance, by Miss Jessie ' McLeod. While we have mentioned the above -as having secured particular positions in the several lists, we do not do so with object of overlooking tho rest, but merely from the fact of tbeir having obtained the highest standing in the several Hats. We extend congratulations to all.

THE GREAT CANAL IN MUSIC

“At a time when the Georgian Bay canal scheme is attracting such widespread interest, it is quite apropos to have a set of waltzes dedicated to the energetic origina- tor of the project, Mr McLeod Stewart, together with an excellent portrait of that gentleman on the title page. The composition is entitled the Georgian Bay waltzes, written by Louis Field and published by Messrs. J. L. Ormo and Son. Whoever “Louis Field” may be, he (or possibly she) has composed a set of waltzes far superior to the general run of such music. They are dignified, spontaneous, tunelul, strong in rhythm, far removed from.the clogging sentimental stuff so pre- valent, and evidently emanate from tho pen of a matured musician—who is no novice at composition. There are, how- civer, in places unusually great iutervals in the melody which betray a certain weakness, but in the hands of a competent ex- ecutant extra brilliancy is thus obtained. Still the writer would do well to avoid such extremes by confining his theme within a more moderate compass, thus eesuiug greater and more desirable artistic unity of effect. So much is said because this writer shows talent of the right kind and because these.waltzes deserve a more than ephemeral existence.” — Ott-awa Journal, Monday, July 17th.

Many readers of the News will recognize in “Louis Field” the nom da plume of Miss Looiae Saudticld Mncdonalil, of Bout)» Lancaster, whose many Glenpany friends

extend congratulations to her on receiving the above flattering tribute from the pen of Hcii'ic residing in Canada’s musical centre; Otfaw.i i.s justly entitled t.o that distinction i 1 vi-'W of tlje fact that besides being the seat of two conservatories of music, many musicians of American and continental reputation find in the Capital appreciative and intelligent audiences. The list of Canadian composers contains, we regret to say, few of any eminence, but in that select few Glengarry is proud to claim a dintingui-^bed representative in the person of Miss Macdonald.

DONALD EWEN McMILLAN

On Wednesday of this week we were one of many who paid the last sad tribute of respect, by attending his funeral, to one who for n«arly three years was so closely associated with us. that it is difficult to realize that he lias been called to the “GreatBeyond.” We refer to Donald Ewen McMillan, whose death occurred Monday morning, July 24th. Tho severance cf his official connection with this paper, and the thus breaking of ties that at all times were agreeable to all concerned, is of such a recent date, occuring early in May last, that it would bo superfluous on our part to enlarge thereon again, sufficient to say that “Donald Ewen” retired from the important and trustworthy position he held on the staff of the NEWS, for but one reason— ill health. About tbe 29th of May hs left for Denver, Col., trusting that the lighter air cf that State would prove efficacious. In that regard ho found the climate sadly wanting, and returned home on the 12th of this month. Since that time, despite all that medical skill and loving attention at the bands of a devoted mother could do, Donald went steadily down hill, from a health point of view, the end coming peacefully about eight o’clock Monday morning. The news of his demise, though to a certain degree looked for, caused quite a shock, and called forth many expressions of sympathy from the comra'auily at large, in which he had lived at all time's on terms that were a credit to himself, and must be, now that he has loft them, a pleasing re- meraberance to bis family. The deceased was born in the village of Alexandria on Nov. 28th, 1870, and shortly afterwards moved with his parents to Lochiel. When eleven years of age he passed the Entrance Examination and attended the High School here, where he secured a Second Class Cer- tificate in 1887. After a term at the Vank- leek Hill Model School be taught school in the rear of Lochiel, being then but 18 years of age. He then taught in the 14th Lochiel, the school he attended when a boy, and was afterwards principal of the Maxville Public School for three years. On severing his connection with the Maxville school in 1895 he entered the NEWS office as news editor, a position he filled with great acceptance to tho management of the paper and credit to himself, until compelled by ill health, as above stated, to resign. The funeral which took place to tbe Kirk Hill cemetery on Wednesday was one of the most representative, as well as one of the largest ever seen in Alexandria ; the several nation- alities and religions denominations being represented in the funeral cortege, English and French, Roman Catholics and Pro- testants walked side by side, testifying in a silent but very striking manner the uoi- versai esteem in which tho - deceased was held by all classes of tbe community, not rccFëly in Alexandria, but Glengarry at large, representatives from the most distant parte of the county being present. Alex- andria Lodge 439 A.F. & A.M., of which tho deceased was a member, had charge of tbe funeral, a number of brethsrn from MaxvilJo and Williamstown being also present. The Independent Order of Foresters, of which he was also a member, attended in a body, wearing mourning badges. It was pleasant to notice iu the funeral cortege a good representation from the local Court Catholic Order of Foresters, the members of which wished to testify by their preeeuce, to the warm interest the deceased, as a newspaper man, and otherwise had, during his life time, always taken in tbe above organiza- tion, ho being a firm believer in the universal brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. After a short service at the house, conducted by Rev. D. Mac Laren, the funeral procession, which contained about 100 carriages, left for Kirk Hill where the remains were interred with Masonic honors. The pall bearers were Messrs. D. H. Wason, W. A. McCrea, H A. McIntyre, J. R. Moffatt, A. Edwards and T. W. Munro. The floral offerings were most beautiful, iDcluding wreathes, anchors and pillows in natural flowers, several of these being received from friends in Maxville, Montreal and several other places. To his mother, sister and brothers universal heartfelt sympathy is extended ‘ tbeir sore affliction.

TIIANSLATION

MARY BAN AND THE HENS.

FK02I )IAG TALLA

^ —By John McPkaddfn, Olagffoio.

' (Continued)

As soon as Mary opened the hen-house door they rushod out on the run towards the dish in which they were accustomed to get their food, but they did not find a speck on its bottom and began to cackle and complain very pitifully and 4to doubt die* cussed the question why did not Mary place food to tbe dish as she used to do ? Sowever, Mary said that this was the Wuversatiuu they had.

The rooster noticed the eggs which were placed a tittle distance from the dish and towards them he ran calling the hens which followed him closely. As soon a? he reached the eggs, he took a billful ont, and swallowed it before waiting to taste it, the hens doing the same thing—in a very short time, there was but a liûle of the eggs in j^bt, so Mary began to think that there

little good in the plan Allan gave her to prevent tbe hens from sucking egg^

But Mary noticed that tbe rooster was getting very carions in appearance, bis neck was stretched out as if he was going to crow, his wings were down and dragging and hardly a sound issued up or down his throat, while apparently choking. As Mary said “only a suppressed unnatural l^lsky sound seemed to come from the bottom of the windpipe then he began to g-HHackwards after which he fell ou his bacK, with his feet playing as merrily as

.!L4i^pse of a weaver while working on bis

“Poor creature” exclaimed Mary, “you are in a worthless condition, I was not nmeh better when I paid heed to black Afan, I am to-day withont a ben and without a rooster.”

She bent over to take up the rooster which she thought was pîng his last gasp, but when she touched him, the bird flew feet from the ççund* gave.^ shrill squawk and was agàn-^m his and before Mary wae aît^ «boot Ij^ half a doaen similar autios ta ^ ihe rooster. '

Më^ cried oat,‘ Her neighbor came on the run to Stà-help, and when this woman saw how masters were, she stood as if deaf and bliud. ^âry would not take time to tell anything to the woman—her

i. month was not for a moment shut, but 'Hiôstautly abusing Allan. The hens began gradually to get better, the rooster went

to the creek, and began to drink—hen after hen following him and doing likewise. Mary herself will say to tbe present day, that bUe pitied the red hen more than tbe others although she was tin first to begin

the bad work but dearly did she pay for it. 1 w. nt round and round as if dizzy, her

neck stretched out as far as it could be

stretched, the mouth wide open, and the tears pouring out of bar eyes, and falling in drops from the tip of her bill.

As long as Mary believed the hens were in danger, she was about to go where Allan was, and since she could do nothing else to him, she intended to giv.> Iiim a good tongue lashing. “Bat Mary” pa’d the neighbor, ‘T don’t understand anything of what 1 see and bear. What did Allen do to yon ?” “Or what have you done to the hens ?” Then Mary told the other woman, word for word, how the matter happened, from beginning to end. “Bepatient Mary” the other woman said to her the old proverb says “that patience will get relief.” Mary took her neighbor’s advice, so she did not go to seo Allan miiher that day nor for many days after, and the first time she met him, she gave him many thanks for plan ho gave her, to cure her hens of the

bad habits which they hai contracted.

They did not put a bill on un ogg since

then and I don’t believe they will as long

as there will be a head ou a neck of one of

PrcTcRted by the Storm.

Paris, July 24.—The latest stories of the fiendish mental tortures inflicted upon Dreyfus on Devil’s Island, despite the offlolal denials, have considerably aroused the public sympathy in his favor, even among those whose sentiment bad been unreasoning hate and detestation for tbe past fire years. It Is still Impos- slblo to got a definite idea of tbe scope or length of tbe trial, which begins the second week in August. Tbe Government naturally insists that it must be confined within tbe original charges, and according to the Court of Cassation.

Dreyfus himself, with a natural desire for the most complete vindication, demands that the inquiry bo unlimited. If the Government sticks to its instructions, tb* trial will scarcely occupy three day.s, bnt if a drag net ir.vostication is allowed. a month will he required.

Matliièd Dreyfus ouîifirma tbs report that a telegram was shown to his brother, stating that Mme. Dreyfus had been dsilvered of a child two years after her husband’s Imprisonment on Devil’s Island. M. Decrais, Minister of the Col- onies, denies tbe sending of any such despatch to Devil’s I.sland.

It has come to light that the. “Quiber- on fishermen” had plotted to throw Drey- fus into the harbor when bo landed at that place on his return from Devil’s Island on board the cruiser Sfax, but the terrific rainstorm and tbo late hour of bis arrival prevented the carrying out of the plan. Aoo?rdlng to local opinion the military present would not have opposed the fishermen in their design. One soldier shouted “We have come to guard him; we hoped wo bad come to shoot him.”

Capo Town. July 24,—Premier Schreln- of the Capo Colony absolr.tely

denies The Loudon Standard's accusa- tion that he telegraphed to President Kruger exhorting him not to yield to tbe demands of the Ultlanders. He say.s he merely telegraphed to President Kruger advising him not to be premature in passing tbo franchise law. There is great indignation on tbe part of the English and anti-Boors hero against Premier Schreiner, who is under their deep suspicion.

Johannesburg, July 24.—The chaises against the persons arrested some time ago for alleged oonspirocy against the Government have been reduced from high treason to creating disturbances.

Berlin, July 24.—The Boer shoe has ooine to pinch the German Ultlanders, and utterances hostile to the administra- tion of the South Afrioan Republic are multiplying in the German papers. The Berlin Tageblatt yesterday publishes, in connection with a leading article, a letter from a correspondent in Johannesburg who describes actual conditions in the Transvaal as such as render residence there unsafe. Throughout the oountry, this writer declares, anarchy reigns and official corruption is universal. “For tbo Ultlanders there .is no safety and no justice. Ho who can pay may rob or steal in DO fear of police intorferenoe. ” The Germans, it is alleged, have been weeded out of the legislative body.

Ottawa, Jniy 17.—The opening attendance to-day w.aa unusually slim, even for Monday, there being so jnany members attending the funeral of Hon. W. B. Ives, and others who were absent on account of the illness of Hon. C. A. Geoffrlon. Tbero was also an air of sadness pervad- ing the Hoaso, and those present were reminded of the loss which the House had sustained on Saturday by the desk which Mr. Ives had occuplod being covered with a small black velvet pall, on which re.stctl a magnifleont wreath composed of .Tapane.nP sacred lilies, swoet peas, maidenhair fern and long trailers of sniilax. Tho wreath was one of tho most beautiful ever seen in the House. After tender words of sympathy from Sir Charles Tapper and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, touching the death of Mr. IVOA. the House went into supply and pa.ssed a number of Public Works rotes.

Ottawa, July 18.—When the House met to-day. the death of Hon. Mr. Geoffrlon was vividly brought to its attention by the presence of a magnificent floral wreath, which, pLxeed upon the desk, silently proclaimed a vacant chair, and the Prime Minister, with considerable emotion, pronounceJ a powerful and touching panegyric on a comrade and friend passed bsyond the great divide. Sir Charles Tupper, In tones solemn, and visibly afiffcted, bore a loyal tribute to a generous opponent passed beyond the bar. Tbe last estimates for tbo year were brought down to-day. Canada’s running expenses for the fl oal year ending Juno 80, 1900, are estimated at 151,83,895 by the Minister of Finanro. Tho main e.stiraates, brought down by Hon. W. S. Fielding in April last, were for J46,280,660, of which $4,758,253 were chargeable to capital. Last year tho total amount voted was $47,900,487. It will thus be seen that tbe country's expendi- ture for tbo present year will be some $3,883,408 greater than for tha preceding year. Tbo Government liili respecting bounties on tho nsannfacture of iron and steel made in Canada pmssin through oommitteo, wns read a third time and passed. Tne House then want.into, committee of supply.

Ottawa, Jtfly 19.—The wlole of to- day’s session was spent In the dlsoussion of an amendment by Sir Chirle.s Tupper to the motion to go into sunpiy expressing the opinion that it Is the di;ry of tho Government to endeavor tc obtaiu preferential treatment in tbe marki of Great Britain for the products of (' inada. The debate was begun by Sir Cha lies Tupper, continued by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hon. Willlara Muiook, Mr. Moore, Dr. Snroulo and Mr, McMillan, and at 12.60 tho debate was adjourned by îlr. Davln.

Ottawa, July 20.—ThI.s was not a particularly interesting day m the House, almost tbe whole of tho morning, afternoon and evening sessions being taken up with a continuation of tbe debate on Llr. McNeill’s preferential trade resolution, ou which the House divided at 10 o’clock, tho motion being lost by a vote of élTor to 77 against. The division was on party lines, with the exception that Messrs. McCarthy, Stubbs and Rogers voted against . the Government. The Houso then went into committee of supply.

Ottawa, .Tuly 20.—-By a vote of 86 to 14 tho Senate thl i afternoon killed the redistribution bill 'I ho division was on atrlot party lines, -.vitn the exception of Senator de Boucbervillo of Quebec, who voted with the Liberal minority.

Ottawa, July 21.—Although in order to expedite the progress of public business a morning sitting was held, it was nearly 6 o'clock to-day before the Houso went into committee on supply for the consideration of tho estimates, which was tbe real business before 16. The delay was caused by a repetition of the discussion on the Yukon charges, which arose on a question raised by Mr. Davln respecting a cable despatch sent by Router’s agency and published in the papers of Groat Britain lu reference to the failure of Sir Hlbbert Tapper’s charges. In supply a number of Items were passad, after brief discussion. The House adjourned at 13.05.

Ottawa, .Tulr 23.—For the first time this session tho House sat on Saturday, and the occasion was marked by an im* porfcirt st.vtement by tho leader of the Opposition, who, referring to the an- nouncomont in the morning papers that the-reas-sembling of the joint high commission had been postponed until a later date by reason of the failure to arrive at a settlement of the Alaskan boundary question, frankly admitted that tho time had come when Canadians should present n solid front and resist the encroach- ments upon Canadian rights. Ho with- drew his former censure of the Govern- ment for not having followed a more aggressive course in rc.sp<?ct of the negotiations, and heartily endorsed the iwlioy of tho Government, Sir Chnrle.s nrgod prompt action, and suggested that the Government bring in two bills taking authority In case of necessity for the construction immediately of a light railway from a Canadian port to Dawson City, and also to restrict minors’ licenses and leases and other privileges In the Yukon to British subjects. Sir Wilfrid Iâurler, in hia fir.st words, gave the leader of the Oppo.sitlon the croUib of having offered no opposition at all, but rather of having done his best to facilitate the negotiations at Washington; and also accented tbo admi.sslon of Sir Charles that tho remarks he made in his Toronto speech were altogether unoalled for Dy tbe actual event.s. Referring to the Yukon boundary question. Sir Wilfrid said that the attitude the Governmont has taken must and would be maintained to tho end. From 3 to 6 o’clock the House passed many items in committee of supply.

New York, July 23.—Robert Q. Ingcr- soll died of apoplexy at his home, Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., yostenlay afternoon.

Mr. Ingorsoll went to Dobbs Ferry, N.T., two days ago, apparently in good health. Shortly after hla arrival at his summer home, “Walston,” ho complalu- ed of a slight indisposition, and raid that he would go to-day to consult his family physician In this city. . He spent yesterday morning in his room, and shortly boforo bo was stricken Mrs. IngersoU offered t« bare bis luncheon sent up to him, so that ho would not have to walk downstairs to the dining- room. He ianshlR^ly replied that, whilo he did not fee] quite as ynimg-as he usml to. ho guessed that be was sot yot an' invalid, and said that he would go down with tho rest. As he finished speaking nnd was about to rise he was suddenly stricken, and fell back Into his chair

Dr. C. H. Judson of tho Tillage was immediately summoned. When he reached “Walston” ho found Mr. IngersoU sLiU sitting rigidly in bis chair. All signs of llfo had passed. Mr. Ingcrsoll h.ad died almost instantly. Dr. Judson said that he could not say po.i^ltiroly what the can.'e of death was, but thought that it was duo to certain troubles from which Mr. IngersoU had previously suffered. It is generally thoug’it by his family that he died of apoplexy.

Yon all, no doubt, at some time or another have gone into a store and inquired for a certain article and been told by the merchant that he did not have it, but had something just as good. Did you ever suspect that he had an object in trying to pursuade you to buy the article recommended by him as j ust as good ? Usually he has, generally he makes more money by selling it. Sometimes, owing to certain articles being sold through agents only, he cannot buy them, and has to attempt to substitute something else when inquired for these goods. “Onr Pride” is something that is only given for sale to one firm in a town, and in Alexandria we are the firm who have been fortunate enough to secure it. The sale of this flour has been so great, and the satisfaction so general, that other merchants here think that the best way to dispose of the flour they sell is to tell their customers that it is just as good as “Our Pride.” .

We publish below the names of over sixty ladies who are using “Our Pride,” aud who say that it is superior to any they have ever used. Who will you believe, the merchant who tells you what he is trying to sell you is just as good as “Our Pride,” or the disinterested but well pleased ladies who buy “Onr Pride,” and will have no other flour while they can get it ?

We have words of praise from more than as many other ladies whose names we may publish at .some future time. Each aud evep'one of these are good cooks and judges of flour and would not continue to buy “Our Pride” in preference to other brands if it was not superior. A guarantee is in every bag.
