To the Editor ol S0RR.T Tihib. Sir,~-As a Surrey resident and taking as I do, a keen interest in school matters, I fully expected that Messrs. lnglis or Davis would have had something, however feeble, to say in reply to Mr. I). M. Robertson's scathing letter which appeared in a late issue of your paper regarding school matters. Not having replied, the public are left to assume not only that Mr. Robertson is perfectly justified in tlie action he is taking, but that these gents are possessed of hides like a rhinoceros and are utterly devoid of either sense or shame, and it is now a question of just how long the Tinehead school electors will tolerate them. It is rumored that Mr. Davis intends to resign. This is the best thing he can do, after what has happened, and it has surprised many of his friends that he should lend himself to such an unmanly course as he has done; of the other fellow, nothing better ever was expected, as there never was anything in him except what the snoon put there. The Tinehead settlers are perfectly safe in leaving this matter in Mr. Robertson's hands and I will be very much mistaken in my man, if he does not see things put right, and the school run properly before be is finished with them.

Tub Harvest Thanksgiving services in St, Alban's Church, Langley, and Christ Church, Surrey, on Thursday, were largely attended. Rev.

The servjee is unquestionably needed for the accomodation of the public, and will no doubt be granted. It is hard to imagine any just reapon why it should not he. A resident of Cloverdnle was roping some trunks for a couple of ladies the other day. A feature of the operation appears to have made him a trifle uneasy, and ho, explained matters to the ladies by remarking: ''You needn't bq alarmed. I'm not exactly a par. son, though I am tying the knot." Mn. Jas. Punch has leased his hotel premises at Brownsville to Mr. Jas. Brewster, an old resident of Westminster city and district, and one of the best known and most popular men between here and Barkersville. Mr. Punch intends to devote his attention to farming, and expects to have forty acres of his ranch ready for crop next year, Mr. A. Milton passed our office on Wednesday with a wagon full of sheep. The appeared to be fine animals, and we presume Mr, Milton intends to try sheep-raisjng. A few years ago several farmers in this locality had flocks of sheep, but the animals became affected with a disease resulting from too much dampness, and the breeders dropped out of the business for a time, contemplating better drainage to make better conditions, The grouse season opened on Tuesday, and town sportsmen were plentiful in the woods and by-ways of Surrey. Fortunately there are still grouse enough left for breeding purposes. A shooter who was wearily making for home along the Yale road was asked what luck? "None," he said, "but there was game in sight. A big, fat grouse was sitting on a log, but just as I fired, he dodged like the Rand scheme, and I missed him— aimed too high." Trout Ashing in Surrey streams is not the reliable sport that townspeople arc apt to imagine from occassional newspaper reports. On Saturday tlie Serpentine was lined with anglers from Westminster, and at going-home time there were still more anglers than trout in sight. The fact is tlie trout have not yet come up the stream in any quantity. Just after the heavy rains of last week, Mr. D. M. Robertson, C. C. Cameron, and some others appear to have dropped upon a school of fish passing up the stream, and made big hauls, and this being published gave a false impression. Excepting that lucky catch, very few trout have been caught in the Serpentine this year. Anglers are having better and more regular sport in the Nicomekl. Messrs. Churchland and Laffere, and Dr. Kay have had good success for some time past in this stream, usually returning home with full baskets. The river must be fished at low tide, and wading boots are necessary, One of the first families to locate in Cloverdale was that (if Mr. John McMillan, who, liko others of the pioneers, had sanguine expectations of the future of the now town—expectations that, unfortunately, have not been realized, Mr. McMillan struggled along with thp littlo community for nearly four ypars, but last summer disposed of his property here, and is now up Kamloops wiiy'looking up a now location. Of his four daughters, ono is teaching school at Whatcom, one married Mr. John Mitchell, formerly foreman of the'Brunette logging camp in Surrey, the third married Mr. Alderman Munday, of Sapperton, and the youngest makes her homo with Mrs. Munday. On Saturday last Mrs, McMillan left to spend a fow weeks with her daughters in Sapperton, after which she will go to Whatcom. Thus all tlio members of tho family havp bid goodbye to Gloverdalp, very much to the rpgret of a large circle of friends here, who hoppd to have ihom for neighbors for years to cbnip. Mr. McMillan, it is probable, will call around occasionally to renew acquaintance with old friends, but the other members of tlie family hove Ijkply left Cloverdale permanently, though no doubt they will carry many kindly recollections with thpm. All hero wil| join in wishing thpm abundant prosperity in their new locations. The Grpat Northern Railway people havp made a change in the stopping place of thp train at Cloverdale. This, wp presume, is in response to tne complaint of BUBBEY Times that this foreign railway company wus operating 25 miles of railway through Canada, practically without accomodation for freight or passengers. Ar- rangpments have been made for the use of two rooms in the section house—one for frpight and onp for passengers, and tlie train now stops opposite the section house, This was an entirely unexpected move on the part of the company, and hy no means meetsthe vipws of people here. Nevertheless, it counts for something as indicating that the company realizes that the ppoplp along the Canadian section of thpir road are entitled to some consideration. Our crowded space will not permit of a fair discussion of thp matter in this issue. Next week we shall have something further to say. The annual exhibition held at Langley Prairie on Tuesday, was very successful. The weather wns threatening and some rain fell, but there was nevertheless a large attendance of exhibitors and visitors. The entries werp more numerous than on former occasions, and the display of products was highly satisfactory, A good many people were present from Surrey, and all speak in high terms of the show. Unfortunately the Editor of Surrey Times was held over on business in Westminster and was not able to avail himself of an invitation to be present. Better luck next time. road.

Sir,—In the Columbian's otherwise excellent report of the Exhibition held in Cloverdale last week, the reporter takes occasion to state, with a positiveuess not in any sense justified by the facts, that the removal of the exhibition to Cloverdale three years ago, dissatisfied a "great many " farmers, who refused to exhibit, and that the dissatisfaction continuos to exist, Also that Mud Bay and Kensington \vere not sufficiently represented at the late show, because of that grievance, lt would accomplish no good purpose to go into the details of the causes that led to the removal of the exhibition to Cloverdale, further than to say that it was the wish of a very large majority of the members, and that the management knows of no one of any particular consequence who bus remained out because of the removal. Other things, it is truo, havcoccurredtoweakcn the society, j interest of the Society, in every more particularly the excessive re-1 way, requires that the annual ex duction of the Government grant, i hiliition should be held nt Clover P.

McCallum, J. E. Murphy, C. Cameron, Wm. McBride, J. Shannon, J, Keery, G. P. Dafoe. W. Hoosick. It will be observed that the membership is precisely 47 names in both cases. It will also be noticed. that while there were eight or nine non-exhibiting Westminster people belonged in 1892, and who then dropped out, as they no doubt would have done in uny event, the membership was made up by resident exhibitors of Surrey and Langley. There is no one who will say that was not a gain. Then, as to Mud Bay und Kensington. In 1892, the society had only one member from Mud Bay, Mr. Dan. Johnston, President, and he has continued to be a member, while several others have been added at Cloverdale, namely, W. McBride, in 1893 ; A. Dinsmore, A. H. Home, Steveson Bros., in 1894; and J. B. Loney and F. McRae in 1895. I can find the names of three at Kensington who were members in 1892, and who have not since been members at Cloverdale, against four who have joined since 1892, und f have no ground to believe that nny one of those three withdrew because of tho change to Cloverdnle. One or all of them may have done so, but if so, their action does not speak much for their intelligence, seeing that a very large majority of the members are very certain that the but otherwise the Association has gained in every way by the change dale.

A milk white beach of coral sand, on which wero strown thousands of ox* qulsito shells nnd strange spongo forms. In front, dancing blno waters of a southern soo. stretching away into in* flnito spare- and milled iuto flashing whito caps by the stroug broath of the i trade wind. Back of tho beach stood a denso grove of cocoannt palms, stateliest and most graceful of trees. The myriad slender tips of their hugo leaves rustled in tho warm wind liko tho sharp patter of rain drops in a heavy shower. Down , whero tho whito trunks shot, tall and slender, to the dim archos of tho living roof all was in dark, cool shadow, flocked now and then by dancing points of golden sunlight. Mingled with tho salt breath of tho sen was a faint odor from spathes of corn colored blossoms high up among tho leaf crowns. Benoath these hung clusters of fruit in all stages of development, from the size of a marble to that of a football. On the ground lay scores of tho great brown, ripened coeoanuts, of so littlo value in that tropic land that no one cared to pick them up. They were protected by tough threo cornered husks so thick as to more than double their actual size. On ono of them, turned on end, sat a boy wearing a broad brimmed, high orowned hat of palmetto braid. Ho was clad iu a white ootton shirt and brown linen trousers turned up at the bottom. His feet wero bare, and his legs, hands and faco were as brown as an Indian's. He presented an ideal picture of youthful strength and that perfect health only to be acquired through but of door sunshine. His face, generally bright and happy, was clouded as he sat, with elbows on his knees, resting his chin in his hands and gazing out ovor tho glinting waters. Tho object on which his eyes were fixed was a small schooner moored 100 yards from shore. She was not more than 80 feet over all in length, bnt was broad of beam and solidly built The month was March, and the beach was that of one of thoso low cut, fertile Florida keys that form tho southernmost limit of tho United States territory. Tho boy was John Albury, commonly called Grit, to distinguish him from tbo many othor John Alburys of that region. Tho schooner was the Polyanthus, formerly owned by Grit's father, who had been lost at sea the autumn before in a boat belonging to a neighbor. For many years, while he was a wid* ower, Mr. Albury had only occupied his homo on the key at long intervals, spending most of the time with his boy and girl, Grit and Matey, on board the Polyanthus wrecking, sponging, fishing, wbilo waiting for his cocoannt grove to como into bearing, and, aa he finally hoped, to yield him an income. The life proved a very happy one for all three, and it was a sad day for the children when it was ended by the appearance of a stepmother, who, coming from inland on the mainland, had no knowledge of nor lovo for boats or the water. Sho was not unkind, but she instituted a new order of things, strongly resented by the sailor boy and girl Mr. Albury was persuaded to clear land and put in a crop. Grit weeded tomatoes. Matey was mado to sew and do housework, while both children were taught to road and write. Now thoy bad very littlo of the sail* ing that they so dearly loved and for which they longed, for Mrs. Albury could seo no good in boats. She even advised hor husband to soil the dear old Polyanthus and ship his crops by the regular Key West trading schooner, bnt this, to Grit's great satisfaction, he steadily refused to do, though he so far yielded to his wife's prejudices as to spend most of his timo on shore whilo thu "Poly" swung idly at hor moorings. Whon tho father was lost at sea in tho dreadful hurricane that noarly swept away their homo aa well, Mrs. Alhury's aversion to boats became so bitter that she would sell tho Polyanthus to the first person who would offer $100 for her. "But, mother, $100 is a ridiculous price for a fine boat liko the Poly," urged Grit "She can make that In a single mouth." "Sbe never has since I have known anything about her," replied Mra Albury. "No, for she hasn't had a chance. You just let me take her, and I'll show yon how much sho can mako." "And get drowned liko your poor fa* thor and leave me and Matey to tend I tbo crop. No, indeed, air I Yon are too j valuable to waste that way. I need yon ! ashore, and so do tho tomatoes. They'd ! bring in more money than any boat j that ever waa built; you aee if they dou't I shouldn't be surprised tf we made all of $900 off the crop this year aud twice that much after wo got all of the land cleared and planted." "Bat boats can make as much as that, mother, and moro too. Why, at a wreck"-— "Nonsense! Thero aren't any wrecks nowadays, and if thore wero what could a boy liko yon do at ono? No, sir; you stick to tomatoes. They're safo and suro, and I'll put temptation out of your way by soiling that boat first ohanco I get. You'll thank mo for it in tho end, soo if you don't." Now, tlio fatal day had noarly arrived. A man lu Koy West had sent word that ho was coming to look at tho Polyanthus and would probably buy her if sho proved ns represented. Ho might appear at auy moment, and that was tho reason why Grit Albury sat gazing sadly at tlio dear boat on that glorious March afternoon, instead of gathering tho last of tho tomato crop, which was expected to roalizo $200. As tho boy slowly roso to return to bis work thero camo a sound of flying feet, aud Matoy's voico was heard, call ing in joyous tones: "Gritl Oh, Grit I Mothor wants you to catch her a mess of fish and says I can go with you." Tho lad only nnsworod: "All right, sister. Como along," but a sudden resolution, that ho did not put into words, flushed Into his mind. Two minutes later a singlo skillful throw of a cast net into tho school of snrdiues, always swarming alongshore, had provided n sufficiency of bait, aud a light skiiTwns dancing merrily over tho blue waves. "Why, Gritl Whoro nro you going?" demanded Matey as tho skill was headed directly for tho Polyanthus, "Out to tho roof after fish," was tho answer. "But Grit" "Nover mind (ho buts now, littlo girl. That's whoro wo aro going, and wo'ro going in tho schooner too. Mother said Ush, but so far as I havo heard she didn't Bay what kind of fish, and so, of course, meant the best fish, such as Spanish mackerel, kingllsh, yellow tails or drums. You know that wu can't find thoso shut off tho reef any inoro'n wo can go out to whero they aro in a skiff. Besides, sister, it's our vory last chance for a sail in tho old Poly, She's going to be sold, or rather given away, tomorrow, and I don't suppose wo'll ever seo her again or own another boat." Of courso this was convincing, for Matey not only dearly loved to sail, but was firm in her belief thut whatever Girt said or did was right Thns on hour later saw tho littlo schooner, after a glorions run ncross tho broad Hawk channel, anchored just insido the great coral reef that borders the gulf stream for moro than 200 miles, and on which bngo breakers wore dashing themselves into showers of glistening spray. The fishing was superb and so absorbing that the snn was sinking iuto its bed of crimson and gold ero cither Grit or Matey thought of starting for home. When at length they wero ready to go and attempted to get up the anchor, all their strength on tho windlass failed to bndgo it A fluke had caught beneath somo great bunch of coral, and with boylike carelessness Grit had neglected to provide a trip Una It was quite dork before he abandoned the attempt to recover their anchor and said cheerfully: "Never mind, Matey, girl. It won't hurt ns to stay out hero overnight, and as soon as it comes light again I'll dive down there and see what is tho matter. I'm not going to cut tho cable and lose that brand new anchor nnless I havo to, that's sure." So they cooked a supper of fish and mado themselves so comfortable in the snug little cabin that they rather rejoiced in their adventure than othor* wise. So soundly did they sleep that night that not until he was flung from his locker on the cabin floor did Grit awaken to tho fact that tho Poly was pitching madly and that a gale was shrieking through ber taut rigging. Calling to Matey, tho boy sprang on tho deck, where he was well nigh beaten down by the furious squall of wind and rain that just then hurled itself against the Bchooner. There was an instant of quivering strain. Then something gavo way, and Grit knew what bad happened. The tense cable had parted, and they were helplessly drifting at tho mercy of tho storm. For a moment even Grit's stout heart quailed. Ho could see nothing save the ghostlike forms of leaping breakers that seemed to crowd about him from all sides. He could not even tell from which direotiou tho squall was blowing. Matey had joined him in the cockpit, with as full an understanding of tho situation as his own. No words passed between them, for none eould have been heard above the shriek of wind and the roar of wators. Thoy seemed to be driving with frightful speod, and, as tho brother and sistor stood hand in hand, waiting thoir fate, thoy oxpeoted that each succeeding mo* ment would seo their craft dashed in pieces on tho cruel reef. Minutes passed, and still they swept on. Suddenly Grit uttered a great cry of relief that was almost a sob. "We'vo passed tho breakers I Wo'ro dear of tho roof I Wo'ro out in tho gulf I Wo'ro safo, Matey, girl!" ho shouted. To any one not a sailor It would havo seemed that thoy woro anything but safe, ont in the open sea, driving through inky darkness, and with tho worst squall of the season howling furiously about thorn, but Matey was a sailor. She knew, nnd down In her heart arose a fervent prayer of thankfulness. Tho next ohange of scene was most surprising. Daylight had come; the sun waa rising. Before a gentle breeze, with all sails set, tho Polyanthus was ap* proaching a great steamship that had struck on an outlying spur of the roof during the blinding bewilderment of the recent squall. "I do believe it's a wreck!" Matey had oxolaimod rapturously, wben her sharp eyes first discovered the stranded ship. "Oh, if it only should be!" cried Grit, who could hardly believe that so great a piece of good fortune had be* follun them. Then, with anxious, beat* ing hearts tbe young Bailors had shaken out thoir reefs and laid a course toward tho lights that marked the dimly loom* I ing hulk. "Groat Scctt!" cried the captain of tho stranded steamship aa ho caught sight of the schooner's sails. "Here's a reef wrecker alongside already. I be- linvo thoso follows livo at soa and con smell a wreck a hundred miles!" "Hollo, thoro!" ho shouted a fow minutes later as tho schooner drow near. "Tako a lino, but don't you daro como aboard. I'm not in humor to givo up my ship to you pirates yet. So stay , whero you aro, and I'll como to yon." "Don'tyou want your cargo lightened, sir, or anchor carried?" inquired Grit anxiously as tho eapfaiu slid down a ropo and sood on tho Poly's deck. "No. I'm not in a hurry to breakout my hold, and I want to try something elso boforo hedging,'' answered tho captain. "Who is captain of this craft?" "I nm, sir," "You?" cried tho othor, regarding tho lad incredulously. "Woll, then, whero is tho crow?" "There, sir," replied Grit, pointing to Matey. "Woll, I nm bloBBodl" gasped tlio captain. "A boy nnd a girl! Eveu tho babies iu arm turn wreckers on this coast. Howover," ho added, "perhaps you'll do as well as an older. Can you divo?" "Of courso I can, sir," answered Grit promptly. "Aro yon afraid of sharks?" "I should say not," was tho contemptuous answor. "Well, my men nre, and I can't oven swim, much less divo," conlinuod tho captain, "but 1 want a diver to go flown and tell mu just how my ship lies. I havo a plan that I am anxious to try, if things uro as I think, if you'll help mo carry it out, I'll give you $000 for au hour's work, provided WO get this ship off within that time. Is it a bargain?" "Put it in writing and hnvo it witnessed, eap'n," replied the cautions Grit, "and I'll sign the paper. It only holds for one hour, though. Then, if you're not afloat, we'll mako n now bargain, and if she's to bo lightened I'm to be wreokmaster and tako chargo, 'causo mine is tlio first (schooner hero. Is that right?" "Yes, that's right," smiled tho captain grimly. "I reckon you've taken part in wrecks beforo?" "A few," laughed Grit By tho timo tho paper was mado ont and handed to Matey for safe keeping, Grit was ready to perform his sharo of tho bargain. Ho dived from tho bows of tho schooner and was gouo nearly a minuto. Then bo camo up for breath and almost immediately dived again. Ho repeated this operation four times without tolling what ho hod discovered. Meanwhile the passengers and crew of tho steamship crowded tho rail, and leaning over watched his operations with breathless interest Finally tho young diver clambered aboard and related to tho captain that his ship had struck, well forward, on a narrow ledgo with deep water on both sides, and that sho was afloat, with tho exception of a space 10 feet long near her bow. ' 'That is just abont what I gathered from soundings," replied tho captain. "Now, I want you to go down again, taking n lead liuo with you, and locate Borne good sized bolo or crevice as near the bottom of the ledgo as yon can get Leave the load behind to mark the spot where you come up." Grit wondered at this strange order, bnt did as directed, and after several descents iuto tho clear water finally located a deep fissure nearly 20 feet beneath tho surface. "Is tho holo largo enough to hold this?'' asked tho captain when the yonng wrecker again came on board tho schooner. As he spoko the former held out a square tin canister to which was attached a reel of slender copper wire. "Yes, sir," replied tho boy. "It's big enongh to hold mo." "Very Rood. Now, if you will go down onco more, taking this can with you, and thrust it as far as possible into tho holo, I will not ask you to go into the water again." Grit cast a curious glanco at tho captain's faco to seo if ho could detect any indication of madness, but the only signs ho discovered were of perfect intelligence and an iudomitablo will Still, as tho boy again stopped ovor the side ready to descend into the crystal depths and the canister was handed to him, his suspicion of tho captain's sanity was revived by the hitter's parting instructions. "Tako care of this can as you would of your own life,"hosaid earnestly. "Don't let it hit against anything, and placo it gently as far in tho crevice as you can reach. It holds your life and fortuuo as well as mine." Thoso words wero so strange, and the whole business was bo different from tho nsnnl proceedings in connection with a wrecked ship, that oven ob Grit worked at his novel task far beneath the bluo stir faco tho ouo thought that filled his mind wus, "Ho is as crazy as crazy can be." Howover, ho carried out his instructions, and whon ho regained tbe schooner's deck he found it occupied by ! all tho passougorsof tho stranded steamship. "Tako them off on a flvo minutes' cruise," ordered the captain aa with his own hands be cast off the linos holding tho schooner. Thon he swung himself np the steamship's sido and disappeared in his own cabin. At the end of five minutes tho Polyanthus was noarly a quarter of a mile away, and her young skipper, who was trying to answer a hundred questions at onco from the bewildered passengers, was also wondering what he should do next All at onco it was noticed that the propeller of tho great ship was working furiously backward. Then camo tho most surprising thing that has ever happened in all the annals of wrecking ou tho Florida roofs. Thero was a heavy vibratory explosion, accompanied by a muffled roar. To those who happened to be looking toward the ship at that moment she seamed to be lifted bodily from the water. The next instant sho was enveloped and hidden from view in a vast, fonntainlike col* umn of foam. Directly afterward the ship reappeared floating as steadily ob ever in hor lifo on tho groat billows of tho mysterious submarine disturbance and running rapidly backward. Lato that afternoon tho schooner Polyanthus again picked up hor moorings off the glistening coral beach, and tlio young wrcckors mado their way to tlie littlo houso benoath the coeoanuts, in which thoir stepmother, ns yot unconscious of thoir return, sat noarly distracted by a sudden accumulation of troubles. Sho was wild with anxiety over Grit and Matey. A man had como from Key West to look at tho Polyanthus with n view to purchasing her, but finding hor absent aud being pressed for time had gono nwuy again. Ho hnd, moreover, left behind him a letter from tho northern commission houso to which Mra Albury had sent hor tomatoes, stating that tho entire shipment had arrived spoiled and unsalable, ro that instead of boing entitled to returns from thom sho was indebted for freight charges. As tho poor woman sat quito overwhelmed by lier misfortunes thereenmo au exulting shout outside, and tlio next moment Grit and Matey rushed in, alive, woll aud breathless with excite ment, "Hurrah, mothorlM cried tho former as ho wildly waved n slip of paper above his head. "Wo'vo got your fish nud only staid out, a little longer tOglvo tho old Poly iiehiiueo to earn tliis $>'><i<>, just to show you what sho was good for!" "Yos, wo'vo been wrecking!" chimed in Matey, "ami we've wreeked a big steamship, Grit nirl I and Poly hnv nnd got her off all right, and you won't soil tlie dear old boat now, will you, mother?" "What on earth do you crazy children mean?" exclaimed Mrs. Albury j slowly as sho took the New York draft for $500 from Grit's hands to examine it "How could a mere boy and a still younger girl liko you two wreck a big steamship and get her off?" "Ma," replied Grit, with nmischievous twinkle iu his eyes, "I don't exactly understand myself how wo did it, but I think wo blew iier up with dynamite."—St. Louis Republic, Tlio Stan nml Stripe*.

THE MORA CLAIM. alitor? ot Iha Cue Under Pliputo Between tho United State* and Spain. Tho Moraclaim, which has been pending for a quarter of a century, is again brought to publio attention by the issuance of a demand from the stato department of this government, insisting that Spaiu shall promptly pay tho long ovordno indemnity for gross injusttco infliot- od upon on American citizen during tho rebellion antomo M. MOBA. in Cuba in 1800. The history of tho 0(180 is interesting. Tho claimant, Antonio Maximo Mora, now a resident of New York, was born In Cuba and inherited avastestato, consisting mainly of an extensivo sugar plantation. In 1H5U ho left his plantation in tho hands of trusted employees and went tO New Vork, whero he established U)0 coinuiereial houso of Mora, Navarro & Co. In May, 1809, ho took out his final naturalization papers aud became an American citizen, In tho Cuban rebellion of 1800 Mora W0S unjustly accused of aiding the insurgents. Unfortunately he chanced to be in Cuba at the time. A court martial was hastily enlivened at Ihivunii, and Mora was condemned (o death, and his valuablo OSlales wereconfiscated, despite tho fact that ho was (I citizen nf tlio United States. AftersulTeringgreat privations ami enduring many perils ho finally escaped to New York in the dis* guise of a sailor. The attention uf Hamilton Fish, then secretary nf state, was called tn Ilia nut- rage, and Caleb dishing, United Slates minister tn Madrid, was directed to officially protest against the sentence of tho court martial and demand repartition, Tho Spanish government, though tacitly admitting (he justice of tlio claim, pursued au evasive aud dilatory policy regarding it, and years wero passed in ineffectual negotiations and cones pondenoc. Win n Alfonso came to tho throne, among the earliest acts of his administration was to order the restitution of Morn's estates, bnt tho Cuban authorities refused to obey the order. On the Contrary, they sold the estates. Voluminous and ineffectual correspondence followed for tho next ten years. In 1880 tho Spanish cortOS offered a compromise, agreeing to pay Morn $1,500,000 indemnity, which was but a small portion of tlio original value of tho property. This Mora accepted, but tho money has not yet been paid Our government now demands prompt payment of the amount, with interest from 1880. Mora is now 80 years old, in feeble health, living with his daughter iu comparative poverty iu a four room flat in New York waitiug for tho restoration of some portion of tho millions taken from him by Spain. A NOTABLE WEDDING. IlandelN Plaglarl-unii* As a plagiarist Handel claims special attention. Other men's musical ideas crowded upon his receptive mind as lavishly as did his own, and bo seoms to havo turned thom very largely to account. A later age, with a more scrutinizing oyo and analytical crnzo than his own, haa discovered that Handel lias justly entitled himself to tho reputation of being a musical pirate, as bold and barefaced as was ever abroad. Ho did not merely borrow ideas — he lifted whole movements en bloc. One chargo will suffice, although Erba, Strndel la, Colonna and others have all been laid under contribution. When in 1743 a grateful nation returned thanks for the battlo of Dottingen, Handel provided a "To Deum," presumably of his own composition. It has been discovered, howover, tbat tho composition is mainly the musio of a "ToDoum" bv Urio, who was a chapel master in Venice in tho seventeenth century. No loss than nine movements in the j "DettingouToDenm" aud six in "Saul" aro "cribs" of an amazing and audacious nature for Urio's work. What induced Handel to thus appropriate and palm off as his own other men's work no ono has discovered. It is a great blot on an otherwise honorable artistic career and is the loss excusable because it must have boon even less troublo for him to write an original movement limn to copy one.—Blackwood's Magazine.

Mr, Keenan had, to within a year ago, been blussud with tho enjoyment of iilmust perfect lien Ith. It wuh n year ago that Mi. Keonau Ili'Ht mi tiered the hand of disease to take hold upon him. At that time he wiih stricken down by uu aggravated attack of rheumatism, whioh robbed him of tho use of his lower limbs aud of both hiH hands. For fully six weeks he lay on his couch, a helpless victim of tho dread diduuso, and all the time ho Huffored intense pain in tho affected portions of hiH body. Ho eould uot move himself upon his bed, and all that ho ate hud to bo fed to him by those iu attendance. Ho had about despaired of ever gaining release from the clutches of the frightful disease, when one morning his attention was drawn to un advertisement in a morning paper, of a remedy for rheumatism. The story of what succeeded this causal glunce at a medioine advertisement cun best be told in the words of Mr. Keenan himself, who, when asked for un explanation of his seemingly inirac* eulous cure, gave the following account: "It seemed tome that after all the weeks uf terrible suffering thut I had endured there could not possibly bo a relief. 1 hud no faith in patent medicines, and when I saw in a paper the advertisement of Williams' Pink Pills I was induced to try them only in sheer desperution. I did not feel any relief until I begun taking the second box of the pills, but then the pain began gradually to leave me, my appetite became better, und I could sleep soundly throughout tbo uigbt withont experiencing any of the jerking pains that had before kept me awake. I continued to take the pills and it was only a short time until tho rheumatism had entirely left my hands, and I had so far recovered the use of my legs as to be able to walk about the house without assistance. In about two weeks more I was entirely free from the disease, but I took two more boxes of tlie pills as a precaution against a return ol the rheumatism. From tbe time that the lust truce of the disease left me 1 have not felt the leust sign of its return, and I oan truthfully say that 1 uow enjoy as free use of my limbs as ever I did before the rheumatism attacked me. "I have taken the pains to recommend Williams' Pink Pills to a number of my friends who are suffering from rheumatism. I think I know ol no other remedy that will afford snob quick und permanent relief from rheumatism as do Williams' Pink Pills, and I only hope that many others may be brought to see and feel the high curative powers that the pills possess."

The other day, in a publio place, two suburban schooIinistreHses fell into conversation with a precise aud somewhat airy lady, uot from Boston, who began to criticise the attainments of Boston teachers. "It is most extraordinary," she said, "what ignorant people they employ to teach school in Boston.

"Why, their pronunciation is so bad," sho answered. "Jnst fancy—I heard a Boston teacher tho other day say 'programme.' " The two teachers opened their oyes, wondering why people shouldn't say "programme." They hardly dared to ask, but the lady enlightened them. "When any one who had been to school at all,'' sho added, "should know that it should be pronounced 'program!'"—Boston Transcript The Ruling Passion.

Owing l" tbo [iiosBuro nf local mallow luBt#woolt, wo wore obliged In curtail our comments ii|khi bridge matters, U'e uowconltnuo our criticism : A public meeting of ratopayora WaB called In Westminster on rial- urday, Sej>t. 2UI, t<> consider tlie llullen brldgo resolution Unit had been 'mspcd by Ibe Council und Vetoed by tbe Mayor, Aldermen Fales and Bain, who were chiefly Responsible for tbe resolution, were present and spoke at length in explanation of their action, Tbe Columbian's report does very Bcant justice to the remarks of these Aldermen, that journal, ns usual, giving all its favor to the " Kund schemers," of whom Mr. .1. C. Brown was on this occasion, also us usual, the chief mouthpiece. It really, however, makes very little difference as regards the Bullen contract, whether Messrs. Fales and Bain made 11 good showing or not. The Mayor, in justifying his veto of the resolution, stated amongst other things that he had been "approached" in the Bullen interest with promises of advantage. This" was corroborated by Mr. W, E. Townsend. Other evidence of a like kind was adduced, abundantly sufficient to utterly discredit tbe Bullen scheme, without at all taking into consideration the many pointed allusions to the peculiar methods of that American Company. Tlie decision of the meeting was emphatic, The Bullen negotiations are off permanently. There does not appear lo be uny material difference of opinion in that regard, and, indeed, there could not be by a self-respecting Community, Provided the City decides lo proceed with the enterprise) the choice is now between the Hamilton bridge und the Dominion bridge. The former has all along been considered too costly, and as we have al- reudy pointed out the swing is so located as to seriously impede navigation. Tliis company, however, offers important Inducement* In the way of accepting tlie city's bonds at par, and has an earnest advocate in Aid. Johnson, who has been alone in insisting upon the advantages ol the Hamilton offer, uud undoubtedly merits great Credit for his persistency and his Unquestioned zeal In Ihe public interest. By his representations tlie public meeting was induced lo instruct the Council to re-open negotiations witli the Hamilton Company, and whoever may come of this move, it is cerlainly pointed in the right direction. Those who favor the Dominion bridge claim for it two advantages over the Hamilton plans, namely, Cheapness and proper location ol the swing. These merits have been advanced al former limes, und, we 'ire Informed, havo nol been dis- " Balfour were1 That Mr. Cooper's I THI " report says: 'Design 2 of the I'o- " minion Bridge Co. is the design " whioh provides for the sidewalk " load ami is in accordance with " tho specifications and is satis- " factory "; that provision is made " in the Dominion plans for ice- " breakers of a very substantial " nature, both up and down stream, " which Mr. Cooper infers iu his " report are not provided for by "the other tenderers; that these "are very HOcessury to savo the '■ brldgo from damage by ice, ilc- " liris, a stray boom of logs, etc. ; I" lhat the lliillcn Co's draw span Is j" locatod 10(1 feet south of the Do- !" million Co's, making ouu channel |" uiinavigablc; that Ihe Bullen "span being built in shallow I" water, wouldcostinucbless,while " Mr. Cooper says the Dominion " plan is 11,668.60 lower on the " whole ; that it is possible Unit a "straight channel could nol be " kept clear, up and down stream, :| if the draw span is placed Hit) " feet south of the point fixed in " the Dominion plans; that the " Dominion Co. supply the superstructure only ■--namely, that part which cannot possibly lie '■ manufactured hero; that if " awarded tbe contract, tbo bridge " will be built by local men en- " tirely, and all the material " possible will be manufactured " here, so as to employ local labor " us largely as possible." heaving the bridge plans now to work out 011 their merits, u brief reference to the peculiar attitude of the Westminster Columbian in regard to the bridge, seems in order. The Columbian being the only newspaper published in Westminster, people throughout the district uth of the Fraser are accustomed to look to it for current Information on bridge matters. And so it lias happened that an odd feature of the Columbian's bridge advocacy bus been noticed. It is this : When the Bund scheme is on, tbe Columbian is decidedly in favor of bridge construction ; when the Band heme is off, the Columbian believes that sewerage is of more con- icquence than bridge, anyhow, Just now the Band scheme is off, und our Westminster cotemporary is very much concerned about sewerage. The people of the district, however, ure very much concerned about the bridge, upon whatever scheme it 'be decided to build it, und the questionable methods of the Bullen people has caused them to give needless ear to a silly rumor that there is u compact of peoplo in Westminster who have a very substantial interest in preventing the construction of the bridge upon any other lines than tlie Band lines. People who are acquainted with the sterling integrity of prominent supporters of the " Bund scheme," of course trcut this idle rumor us it deserves, but those not so well informed may chance to huve their ideas led astray by little coincidences that would be of no significance to better balanced minds.

Calamity I Did anyone $:;.".! 1,1 h 111, There Is something | but their outgoing correspondence'ever bear of such wretched nianage- ncgligcnt treatment of the rural Agricultural Associations. About at the last moment, without notice or warning of any kind, tho gram to the several district Societies bus been reduced by more than one- third. There is no excuse for tliis blundering carelessness. If it had happened this year for tbu first lime, some allowance might bo made for the proverbial dullness of beads of departments in Victoria, but as a matter of fact the injustice has heretofore been perpetrated again and again, ami always with the sumo result of embarrassing Iho Associations and throwing thom iulo what is called bankruptcy in commercial language. Hero is a statement of tho case: Tho Agricultural Societies Act provides that the Treasury Depart-; ment shall pay over to the Agricultural Societies ouch year any monies appropriated for tho purpose by Iho Legislature. During the last several years such a grant has been made annually, and the money has boon, presumably,; equitably divided among existing Associations, to which procedure no objection may betaken. But there appears to be no limit to the number of associations lhat may be organized, or to the dale up to which such organization may take place. It follows, then, that the Legislative grant of any year may by the undue increase of Societies to share in it, utterly fail of the purpose for which it wus voted. This is exactly what has frequently occurred. One such miscalculation should be sufficient for tho Minister who is responsible for this particular class of legislation, but Victoria "statesmen " arc- not so readily influenced. Their ideas are apt to run so brilliantly in the direction of extravagant ornamental buildings and burdensome publio loans, that really they have no time to devote to a few paltry hundreds of dollars, thnt affect nobody but some thousands of inconsequential farmers. Look ut what has happened in Surrey the past four years: In 1891) tbe Government grant to tlie Surrey Agricultural Association amounted to *342. In 1892, without any notice, this amount wus reduced $2ti(i, with the result thnt the Association could pay only 80 per cent of its just debts. In 1898J the department was communicated with before the prize list was compiled, so tbnt the Association could keep within its revenue. It was intimated that the grant would again be $200. Instead of that, it was reduced without due notice to $'200. The board of management decided to borrow money on private p.uprr and pay liabilities in full. For two years, the Association has been strugglirig with this loan, and succeeded n few months ago in paying it off. Ih 1894 the grant remained at $200. This year, before tlie prize list was issued) the Government advised tho Association thnt the grant s excusable to "squeal when you're •'hurt."( If tho Government lacks capacity to remedy this simple grievance, the Legislative grant had bolter couso in tbo meantime. Horo, people beliovo that new societies organized after a staled dale, say 1st June, should not share in Iho grant of tbut year. The other societies could then be told exactly what thoy would receive and could govern their prize lists accordingly.
