MORE -JOBBERY DISCOVERED SOME LIVELY TIMES PREDICTED WHEN PROCEDURE BILL IS DISPOSED OP NEW YORK, February 9.���The London correspondent of the New York Tribune, in a dispatch today says: The formation of Great Britain's railway development corporation, under the laws of New Jersey, for extensive operations in building and purchasing electric lines !n London and elsewhere, is not comi- jjmented upon by tbe press. A Conservative member of parliament smiled and olandly remarked that "the Americans ire coming on fast and will soon be unning everything in this ti-rht little ^sland." Parliament itself is the great- ;st . drag upon the electric transit ���chemes of . the metropolis, scores of >rojects being now hung up awaiting its anction, with a doleful probability that ;uch legislation can be secured this '/ear. The London county council is ,-reatly exercised over foreign inteffer- nce with metropolitan transit, but the rogressive majority receives little en- ouragement from Westminster, for it !as comprehensive plans of its own for lectric lines and sub-ways. ���" American nergy and reserves of capital offer the est hope for the early solution of the ransit problem of the central belt, of .on don. 'Onslow Ford's last work, a memorial .iblet of John Ruskin, was unveiled at Westminster Abbey in the presence of I'ean Bradley and a small company of rtists, Mrs. Waller S. Everan pulling ue cloth away and disclosing the bronze Yedallion above the bust of Scott in the 'oets' corner. It was the anniversary ���f Ruskin's birthday and Mrs. Severan Remarked that his motto had been 'Icoday." > Lord Dufferin's condition remained ritical at midnight, with no sign of batement of his weakness] Parliament continues to reflect the *meral opinion that party strife is ill dapted to the holiday mood of the cor- ���aation year, and controversial ques- |ions are avoided as bad form. The op- dsition front bench has repulsed ehe vertures of the extreme Radicals to aise a debate on lord Lansdowne's rely to the Dutch note. !, Closure was sprung upon the harmless abating exercise of talking out the ikrriage of a deceased wife's sister bill. A fair start was made in discussing be new rules of proceedure, and while he opposition is stronger than expected, Ir. Balfour has made it plain that the government desires to minister to the oimfort and convenience of the house, hid will make any changes which the jaembers desire. While the debate may ie* prolonged a fortnight or a month, here can be little bitterness when the Ministers seem barely half in earnest Cnd decline to take a resolute stand /here details are concerned. The postponement of the question hour and the arlieThour~of=tfie"Sie^tlrIg^of th-THb'u's'e" -nay not be retained and even a longer interval for dinner, with fixity imparted Ip.the hour, may be rejected as an attempt to convert Westminster into a [iov's school. Veterans of .the commons whimsically lieclare that tie only group capable of mending the rules in an effective way hr the prevention of the waste of time fnd the obstruction of business are the ationalists. They understand the heel and cog in the mechanism of leg- nation and proceedure, for they have lade it their business year after year i interfere with the normal action and i'ock the work. They could frame the lies which would tie their own hands, id deliver the commons from their *rn conspiracy for making themselves i disagreeable. They only laugh bend their sleeves when proceeedure is '.ken in hand, for they understand the cilitv with which a fresh set of rules ^n be broken through. There has ���en no finer irony than Mr. Redmond's mpathetic expression of respect for |e English feeling of reverer,-.e for the jadition of the commons, at the time K'aen creeping paralysis had overtaken JThe only question which excites acrid tscussion in these stagnant times is t.e purchase of. horses for the army. }r. Broderick has tried to stave off turner debt by dispensing with the ser- Jces at Aldershot of the officer charged Pith receiving a commission on Prus- [an horses, and promising an enquiry Jispecting the conduct of another officer Implicated in the doubtful proceedings. We of the most stalwart Unionists fisert that he is playing with the sublet and ought to institute a searching jivestigation into all transactions respecting the purchase of remounts. 'The education bill, which is expected Jrheh the proceedure debate ends, may Jring on a strenuous party struggle. It Is not known whether this bill, in handing over the control of the schools to Socal authorities, will make it discretion- |ary or compulsory for them to grant lid to voluntary schools. That is a I*|iiestion which may divide the unman- |i<--cable government majority into irreconcilable factions. The Irish land Ineasnre of small calibre promised by F.r. Wyndham may also be a source- of Krouble now that the Ulster Unionists Jare menaced with a formidable secession movement, headed by T. W. Russell. ��200,000 Paid for Beef Contract .LONDON, February 8.���The apparent incompetence and it is claimed, possible dishonesty, -which permeate the purchasing department of the British army, as revealed this week in parliament, havo caused a public agitation that augurs badly for tho war oflice. Judging from recent and promised disclosures, scarcely any ot* the supplies for the army in South Africa were secured on business principles. Speculating contractors are now known to have made hundreds of thousands of pounds by reselling contracts. The opposition vainly endeavored to get details regarding the new supply of meat announced by the government in the house of commons, with a view of ascertaining if a saving over the former methods will really be effected. The government successfully avoided answering, but the Associated Press understands that the contract in question was llrst resold at ��30,000 premium and then at ��10,000. Then Cecil Rhodes and the De Beers group handed over,. ��200,00, and thus finally secured the privilege of securing the troops in South Africa with fresh meat. These figures are llkey to be shortly published here and when known will doubtless add fuel to the fire of public indignation which threatens to center around the secretary of war, Mr. Broderick, as viciously as it did around lord Lansdowne when the latter was sponsor for the early blunders of the war. A dozen or more committees of investigation are now sitting or are in process of formation. But as the Saturday Review says: "These are only too often synonyms of oblivion." "Tlio fact remains," adds the Saturday Review, "that we have been swindled on a very large scale." While these stringent criticisms of the war oflice are being publicly aired, there is proceeding beneath the surface a revolt which threatens to be of even greater importance. The leading-authorities of the volunteers, including many of the com- .manders of tho best known regiments, several of them being titled persons and nearly all wealthy, are holding frequent meetings for the purpose of deciding on the best method of defeating Mr. Broderick being appointed to hear the grievances, only aggravated matters. The commanders of the leading regiments had previously formed themselves into a deputation to wait on Mr. Broderick and he temporarily declined to see them, but the secretary of war stole a march on the members of the deputation by announcing in the house of commons that he had appointed a committee of his own in which not one of the dep-. utation was included. His action created intense feeling aniong the members of the deputation who privately declare that the volunteer" regulations and the "Dead head committee" were introduced for the sole purpose of making conscription possible. Matter Under Investigation DENVER, February 8.���News today says that a demand has been made on governor Orman by secretary of state Hay; at "Washnglon, for an investigation of the destruction, last summer, of tha buildings of William Radcliffe. an Englishman located at the Grand Mesa lakes in this state by a mob. Radcliffe appealed to British ambassador Pauncefotu for redress, demanding $55,000 damages of tlie state of Colorado. The trouble grew out of a dispute between ranchmen and Radcliffe over fishing privileges and culminated in the killing of a ranchman named Womaek by one of Radcliffe's guards. A few clays later his buildings on the lakes were destroyed by fire, claimed to have been done by the friends of Womaek in revenge for his death. The matter was originally referred to governor Orman early'in January, and according to'the news, a.-communication from secretary Hay has just been received asking what has become of it. the boy's mother about the matter. Young Kohler, thoroughly frightened and evidently believing that he was going to be sent to the penitentiary, stepped into the next room, picked up a shotgun, placed tho muzzle to his forehead and pulled the trigger. The top of his head was bown olff. United Kingdom in a For .LONDON, February 8.���Snow storms and fogs envelope practically the the entire United Kingdom. The weather is the most severe known for twenty years. For a time this morning London "was plunged in darkness, traffic was interrupted and navigation on the Thames and Mersey was very dangerous. The unprecedented snowfall ne- ccsstated the suspension of outdoor work in many districts, and vehicular and train traffic was carried on with the greatest difficulty. In parts of Scotland and Wales communication was entlrey blocked. LONDON THEATRICAL TRUST DESTROYS $10,000,000 IN PROPERTY VALUES ONE THOUSAND FAMILIES HOMELESS IN THE CITY OF PAT- ERSON, NEW JERSEY German Press and Lord Pam-cafote BERLIN, February S.���The critics here of Great Britain are indisposed to let lord Pauncefote's note of April 14th, 1S9S, drop with the explanation cabled from Washington that nothing, unfriendly to _the_United States was meant thereby. They say the fact stands that Great Britain did Initiate a second proposal for a European remonstrance. The explanation that president McKinley was privy to lord Pauncefote's purpose and approved the proposal before it was made, is wholly unaccepted here. A person in a position to know the opinion of the German foreign oflice said: "We are disinclined to discuss lord Pauncefote's motives. We simply nail the fact that lord Fauncefote took a step, unpleasant for the United States, and it was Germany's refusal that frustrated the same. Moreover, documentary proof that Great Britain took such a step, exists In the files of the European cabinets. Mrs. Soffel's Condition Improving PITTSBURG, February S.���Mrs. Soffel, who aided in the escape of the Biddies and was shot in the battle which resulted in their recapture and death, shows considerable improvement in her condition today. She is suffering more from mental distress than from her wound nnd it may Lea week or more before she can be removed from the Butler hospital to the Pittsburg jail. Her husband, ex-warden Soffel, has retained counsel for her defense, but says he does not want to see her or have any communication with her In the future. Mrs, Soffel is receiving letters from all over the country. Most of. them contain tracts and advice of a religious nature. When she opens a letter and '-fhids that it is one of this character she turns it over to one of the nurses without reading it. Many letters are from attorneys, proffering their services free in her defense. Receiving Some Hard Knocks LONDON, February 8.���William Archer, the dramatic critic and author has taken up the cudgels on behalf of the American "Theatrical trust," or rather, against what he claims to be the absurd criticisms anent it which have recently appeared In. the .London Times." Mr; Archer points out that ���he was the first to denounce the "syndl- ��� cate's unsuccessful attempt to terrorize the press," and, that therefore, he cannot be accused of partiality. "But," he adds, "it makes me a little tired, to- see the syndicate subjected to irrational abuse, which can only exasperate its members and'ob-' scure the real point at issue." Quoting the London critic, who declared that Charles Frohman had reduced the theatrical profession from art to a purely commercial basis, Mr. Archer says, "On what other basis has it ever rester in America or England. .Truly there have been frequent instances in London and I dare-" say America, where theaters have been endowed in the interest of ladies whose beauty was, perhaps, more conspicious than their talent. Even in these cases, I hope profit was sometimes not' lacking. Were the American managers in pre-syn- dicate days, given to embarking in enterprises for the sake' of art, without any hope ��� of profit. The insinuation that Mr. Frohman is degrading art is entirely unjust. From the Times the English readers cannot but gather that Mr. Frohman deliberately panders to corrupt tastes, and that consequently the American stage is less decent and reputable than the English stage. If the latter proposition is true and it is very questonable, the fault certainly is not Mr. Frohman's. He degrades the .American stage neither more or less than than George Edwards, Frank Guerzon and ia dozen other managers degrade the English stage. Were I an American critic I should warmly support all honest endeavors to break down Mr. Frohman's monopoly, and should- remonstrate with him for his really short-sighted neglect of native American art, but I certainly should not assail him for trying- to make his theater pay. What else-can he possibly, do?" Roosevelt Junior Improving WASHINGTON, February 8.-The following statement was issued at the White House at noon today: The condition of the president's son is favorable! The doctors say that the president should, not go to-, Charleston, as any time within sixty days the disease may take a turn for the worse. The president is also asked not to go to Groton, as his visit.'might excite the boy. Advice is, no immediate danger. Owing-, to the request of the doctors, the nresident has-abandoned his trip to Charleston. Boundary Ore Shipments PHOENIX, February 7.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The shipments of ore from the Boundary mines for the last week were some what less than usual owing to a break in the flume of the Granby smelter, thereby closing the works for three days in the early part of the week.

Seventeen Year Old Suicide DECATUR, Illinois, February S.���Because he did not know how to deposit money in i bank and had committed forgery, John Kohler, aged 17, son of a farmer living near Decatur, killed himself. Kohler had earned $20 and had come to the city to deposit it. When he stepped in> to the toller's window he presented a check bearing his father's name. It was a forgery ana an oflicer was called. He took the boy homo for investigation. Arriving there the oflicer stepped into one of the rooms to _talk. to A Stormy Passage NEAV YORK, February :8.���The passengers'of the American liner St. Paul, whiclr arrived at Southampton nearly two days overdue, had an unusually rough experience with wind, waves and fog, says a. j..ondoii telegram to the Herald.

Ruskin Monument Unveiled LONDON, February S. ���A bronze medallion memorial of the late John Ruskin was unveiled today in Westminster Abbey in the j>rosence of a distinguished gathering. PATERSON, New Jersey, February 9. ���A fire swept through here today and in its desolate wake are the embers and ashes of property valued in a preliminary estimate at $10,000,000. It burned its' way through the business section of the city and claimed as its own a majority of the finer structures devoted to commercial, civic, educational and religious uses, as well as scores of other houses. There was but a'small tribute of life and injury to the.conflagration, but hundreds were left homeless, and thousands without employment. A relief movement for the care of those' unsheltered and unprovided, for has already been organized, and mayor John Henchelleffe said tonight that Paterson would be able to care for her own without appealing to the charity of other communities and states. ' The great manufacturing plants of the place are safe and the community, temporarily dazed by the calamity has already commenced the work of reorganization and restoration. The fire started at midnight, and was only checked after a desperate fight that lasted until late this afternoon. Every town and city within reach of Paterson sent firemen and apparatus to the relief of the city, and it toolO the united efforts of them all to win the battle. A northerly, gale gave the conflagration its impetus and carried its burning brands to kindle the blaze afresh at other points. The firemen made stand after stand before the wall of fire, but were repeatedly, driven back, and when victory finally came to them they were begrimmed and exhausted. An estimate made_from a. general inspection of the'smouldering ruins placed the number of dwelling and apartment houses destroyed at 500 and the families left without shelter at 1000. The estimate, when order succeeds confusion, may altar those figures. The fire began its work of far reaching destruction at the power house of the Jersey City, Hoboken and Paterson Traction Company, which fronted on Broadway and extended a block to the rear of Van Houten street. It was in the car shed that it commenced and it was burning fiercely when one of the employees detected it. It was leaping through the roof and the gale was lifting it in forks and swirls when the fire apparatus came clanging into Broadway/Main and Van Houten streets. The firemen tried to hem it in, but it steadily crossed Van Houten street in one direction, Main street in another, and gaining vigor as it went, burned unchecked down into the business district. Every piece of fire mechanism in the city was called tout, but fire and gale were masters. A great torch of flames rose high Jn^the^air^lighting^p^the^cojuMry^for^ many miles and carrying a threat and warning to people and property in its path. There were efforts to rescue furniture and stock, but the speed with which the fire moved gave the rescuers but little time. Property was often moved to a place of presumed safety only to be eventually reached and destroyed. The warning to many was but brief and they were forced to flee, scantily clad into the streets glazed over with ice and swept by the keen wind of vigorous winter. Main street was soon arched over with a canopy of fire for a block, and then for two blocks, as the flames fastened themselves upon building after buildings. The firemen fought with every resource of their craft and the impulse of desperation, but the flames found new avenues in Ellison and Market streets and got beyond all control. Calls for relief went out to every city in this portion of the state and jaded firemen labored on through the hopeless hours of the morning. The city hall, a magnificient structure, surmounted by a great clock tower, finally caught and with it went all of the splendid business structures *that surrounded it. They made a great furnace of fire that burned with a fierce roar and radiance.of day. There was a series of explosions and scores of walls fell when the fire left them strengthless. Flying fire brands carried the conflagration over some buildings and around others and it therefore burned in an irregular course. These brands finally cleared the tracks of the Erie railroad and Ramapoe avenue, and a light on straight streets started another great area of fire in which the destruction and desolation wrought was nearly as great as in the other. The second great fire started at the angle of Park avenue and Washington street and swept almost unchecked until in those thoroughfares there was no more fuel. On the right, hand side of Market street, until it encountered Sandy Hill colliery, there was no barrier to check it. On the left hand side of Carroll street, it claimed St. Joseph's church, a great stone building. It was on this second great fire that the volunteer firemen from the outside cities did their most heroic work. They fell back only when they had to. The final and one of the most desperate fights of the day occurred in the mid-afternoon, back in the first area at the Ham ilton club, situated at the corner of Church and Ellison streets. The handsome club house caught and the exhausted firemen were rallied around it. They were anxious to save the structure and besides failure meant that the fire might take headway among the properties adjoining the club house. The building was doomed, however, but a torrent of water kept the fire to the* premises. The four walls of the club house stood, but the roof collapsed ahd the interior was completely burned out. Paterson rests in a valley and the conflagration was an imposing spectacle from the rim of hills that wall it in. Columns of flame climbed high in the air and shed their light for miles. Hundreds of persons hurried into the city before daylight to watch the work of destruction at close range. The fire became a great popular spectacle that claimed patrons from New York and every outlying town ln New Jersey. They crowded the regular trains of the railways operating through here and compelled the dispatching of extra' trains. Once in the city they crowded around the firemen and hampered them in their work. Police lines were impossible. In the crowd came thieves and looters, but there was not much pillaging. Under orders from governor Franklin Murphy, who hurried here from New Jersey, "A," "C," "K" and "M" companies of the 5th National Guard assembled at their armories and were held as a reserve force. The police, deputy sheriffs, hundreds of special watchmen and firemen united in protecting property during the day, and when night came, an order was given closing the streets. Despite these precautions of the authorities, there was much confusion in the streets at night. The fires left the city in darkness. Hundreds of belated visitors crowded around the depots and struggled in the dark for places in the overcrowded trains. The street railway system was severely impaired through the injury of its wires. Early in the day the mayor issued an order forbidding the sale of liquor, but it was not obeyed and there was considerable drunkeness. Three relief-meetings were held during the afternoon, the principal one was attended by governor Franklin Murphy, mayor John Hicheffer, and recorder B. S. Enior, who under the city's charter is fire marshall. In a few moments $800 was handed to the mayor for immediate use,"but the chief magistrate said that while the city had suffered a terrible visitation, he was in a position to say there was very little distress. Two relief quarters were established, but up to.a late hour no applicants had visited, one, and only a few had been attended at. the other. Special deputies were sworn in by the sheriff and sent to the burned districts to protect life and property. Scores of people were hurt and burned, but the loss of life is not thought to be great. There are many persons supposed to be missing, but in the excitement and fright most of these are supposed to be separated from their families and friends. Until order is brought out of the chaos which existed here today nothing definite can be known. Rueben Isleh, while serving coffee to the exhausted firemen, was hit on the head by a falling brand and it is doubtful if he will live; George Fitzmaurice, a fireman who has been acting as driver for fire chief Stagg, is also dying. He was driving: an engine from Passaic, when the horses bolted, and before he could get them under control they brought the aparatus against an electric light pole, and Fitzmaurice, who had not waited to strap himself in, was hurled out upon his head. There is no chance of-his livingr=A-Mrsr-Brownr-wh'o=it-was^ said was over 80 years old, was removed from her residence just two doors froH where the fire started in the car sheds. She was taken to the residence of a friend nearby shortly after midnight, and died about an hour later. It was said her death was hastened by the excitement consequent on her hasty removal to a place of safety. the ship and the wind was biterly cold. The Cunard Lucania reacher her dock here today. Captain MacKay reports fine weather all the way across until he reached the eastern edge of the banks. ��From there they had a lively gale all the way. The operator in charge fof the Marconi plant on the steamer held a wireless telegraph talk with the Umbria, in mid ocean, for several hours, and over 100 telegrams were interchanged, to be sent from the Lizzard and Nantucket light ship to friends of passengers. Sir Charles Cameron, bart., a former M. P., was a pasenger ton the Lucania. He is the father-in-law of commander Clifton Slater^ of the British naval ship Condor, and is going to Esquimalt to join his daughter, Mrs. Slater. FEAR REBELLION AN ALARMING DISPATCH FROM DUBLIN DEWET SUFFERS SEVERELY THE PHYSICAL FORCE PABTY 18 NOW IN THE SADDLE IN IRELAND Lost Close Upon 300 Men LONDON, February 9.���-From .Wolve- hdek, lord Kitchener has today telegraphed a long description of a combined movement-of the numerous British columns with the object of securing general Dewet. Lord Kitchener says the advance began the night of February 5th, the whole force moving from various direction and forming a continuous line of mounted men on- the west bank of the Liobenbergs, from Frankfort as far south as Fannieshome, and thence to Kaffir Kop. The line then advanced to the west, and the following night the British encountered with their outposts fifty yards apart. They held the line from Holland on the Heilbron- Frankfort block-house line to Dorn- klopf on the Kroonstadt-Lindley blockhouse line, while the columns were also working in advance of the block-house lines to prevent Dewet's crossing. The advance was continued February 6th and Dewet was within the inclosure, but realizing his position he fordered his men to disperse and seek safety during the night.', Dewet himself, with some men and a number of cattle, made for the Kroonstadt-Lindley; block7house line, and at one o'clock in the-mon* in-*;, when it was very:dark, by rushing his cattle at the fence broke his way through the line, mixed up with the cattle and escaped, losing three men killed. Many attempts' were ��� made to break through the line ton the 'night of February 7th,^reports lord Kitchener, the line of outposts being attacked at various points throughout the night. But very few escaped, and ten dead Boers were picked up in the morning near Heilbron. "I did not get exact details of the Boer casualties," continued lord Kitchener, "but as far as I have ascertained they consist of 283 in killed, wounded and prisoners, as well as about 700 head of horses and many cattle. Our casualties were only ten." WAS SCALDED TO DEATH Gold Baicks inlOntario RAT PORTAGE, February 9.���The Imperial bank window was the centre of attraction this morning, for upwards of $20,000 in gold bars, the cleanups from the Mikado and Black Eagle mines, were exhibited there. A Black Eagle brick, which was the product of 22 days running, is a very large one, and manager Paterson says it is highly satisfactory to him and demonstrates clearly that there is plenty of gold in the old region. He has plenty of ore In sight to keep his 30-stamp mill running continuously and from now on will clean up monthly. He believes the Black Eagle will be a dividend payer from now on. The Black Eagle Mining Company, of London, England, took 'over the mine last spring and spent a large sum of m'oney in building a new mill. Manager McMillan reports everything running smoothly at the Mikado. ���They have plenty of ore in fright, -and the veins give every promise of permanency. Two Atlantic Liners in Port NEW YORK, February 9.���The Philadelphia, of the American line, which arrived today, broke the record for having the longest communication with the land by means of Marconi's wireless telegraph system. At noon on Saturday, February 1st, the ship was a few miles off the Lizard. Messages were then exchanged and the telegraphing was kept up until niiihii'-ht of the following day, when the- >!. .liner was 150 miles from land. On account of the severe weather the Philadelphia had to put into Cherbourg, where she was delayed for over 10 hours. The Marconi system was working while the vessel was lying t'o, the signals at all times being perfect. Captain Mills said ho had never experienced such weather before as that which was met on the voyage. The waves continually washed the decks of Finned Under the Engine VANCOUVER, February 9��� [Special to The Tribune.]���The Seattle-Vancouver express arrived four h'ours late this evening having been delayed by a smashup just south of the boundary line. A landslide occurred near a small lake early this morning, and the freight train of the Northern Pacific ran into it The=locomotive=was"badly~smashed"and: a fireman named Hoelig scalded to death. He was pinned under the engine by his right arm, and begged the trainmen to cut 'off the arm with an axe in order to save his life. A man was sent for an axe but before it could be secured the boiler exploded, and no one could reach the engine because of escaping steam. The fireman was dead when finally reached. Strong Exclusion Act NEW YORK, February 8.���Former governor Budd, of California, is in this city, after having testified in Washington before the committee in charge of the Chinese exclusion bill. The failure of the Kahn-Mltchell Chinese exclusion bill to pass before the end of the session, he says in an interview, will mean the extinction of the present treasury regulations for the transit of Chinese across this country, and will mean a great influx of Chinese before the opportunity to enact restrictive legislation occurs" again. "The Khan-Mitchell bill now before the house is so framed," continued governor Budd, "as to provide for tbe most humane treatment of those Chinese permitted entry into this country and it excludes perfectly all Chinese coolies and laborers of all sorts. It is a bill against which nothing can be said, and there is no other bill under considers tion which can in any way compare with it for effectiveness. If enacted into a law, it will fulfil all the purposes for which it was drawn and will prevent the entrance into this country of the undesirable element aniong the Chinese. It makes adequate conditions for the transit of Chinese across the country under treasury regulations now in force, and which have been considered effective heretofore." An Absconding Librarian HAMILTON, February 9.��� IX. T.

LONDON, February 8.*���A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Dublin, declares that the firmly rooted belief, in influential circles is that nothing short of a revolution is meant by the United Irish League, and-that the advocates of constitutional methods are slowly but surely giving way to the strong physical force section. According to the correspondent, lord Salisbury's speech of Wednesday last before the Union Constitutional club, leads people to hope that the government has at last learned the lesson that Home Rule cannot be killed with kindness, and; that it has become aware of the terrible havoc worked by; the league throughout Ireland. The correspondent adds: "Irishmen, who have just returned from the United States, aver that no support will be given to the disloyal cause unless the discussions and scenes in parliament give place to something more active in Ireland itself. The American end of the campaign is being run by men who are of the same stamp as Finerty, who recommends dynamite and rifles. Young Ireland is being taught to believe in the coming storm and to openly speak thereof with enthusiasm. The policy of kindness has, convinced tho peasantry that the reign, of the;British is almost at an end, and in truth the British statute book is already suspended, and the court of the league is supreme."

LOUIS, February 9.���An early morn- Ing fire which destroyed the Empire hotel, a large three story lodging- house at 2700 Olive street, occupied by men exclusively, daused the death of eleven persons, and dangerously injured eight others. Ten or more had narrow escapes from death in the fire or were more or less Injuted by being frostbitten. It is estimated that there were between thirty-five and forty persons in the building last night, and It is believed all have been accounted for. It is thought that $20,000 will cover the damage to the building and contents. The ilro started about 3:30 when but few persons were abroad and had gained considerable * headway before it was discovered. "When the engine finally reached the scene, the whole front of the building was In flames. By that time all who had escaped had got out of the building by jumping from the windows or climbing down ropes made of bed clothes. A few escaped from the ground floor through the front door. Almost every person who got out suffered seme Injury or was frostbitten. Some saved their clothing, which they carried in their hands. After some delay nearby houses were opened to the unfortunates and they were given shelter from the biting cold weather. It was one of the coldest nights of the winter, the ground being covered with ice and snow and everyone suffering from exposure. After a short fight the firemen got the flames under control and with the assistance_of thepoHce, "made a search of the "ruins. Most of the bodies of the victims were found in their rooms, where they were suffocated or burned. Resembles the Durant Case SAN FRANCISCO, February 9.���A mysterious murder, resembling In some features the noted Durant case is now puzzling the police department of the city. The body of Nora Fuller, a 16-year old girl, who disappeared from her home on January 11th, was found lying naked on a bod in an untenated house on Stutter street yesterday afternoon. The girl had been dead some time, as decomposition had set In. There was nothing in the house to Indicate the means used to take her life, but the posture of the body, and its condition, together with the disorder of the room indicated that the girl had been murdered. An autopsy disclosed that death was duo to natural causes. The city chemist is examining the stomach or the girl for evidences or poison. Nora Fuller left home on January 11th and met a man known as John Bennett, in responce to an advertisement for a girl to take care of a baby. She met the man at a restaurant, and thereafter all knowledge of her was lost. On January Sth the house where the body was found was rento a man giving the name of found was rented to a man by the name of Bennett and Hawkins tally, and it is thought that the two names were aliases of the same man. Insuring Against Smallpox LONDON, February 8.���With the increase in the number or cases of smallpox, London's population is flocking to insurance offices in order to get insured against the epidemic. In the history of Lloyd's, no such plethora of insurance was ever recorded as has arisen on account of the present scare. Some financial men have been insured for as much as ��7000 against the risk of catching smallpox, but the average policy is about ��200. The Outlook says: "The medical reports infer that Xlay or June will be the worst months. If this is true, it will bo a serious menace to the success of the coronation festivities."

Since,:then>;hO"weveri the Might directory company, has; brought: out its latest-issue. This volume.contains some 94,335 names, the increase, for the decade being 25;243'as icompared with the publication 1892.. Aft;is well., known, however, all- names do not; go into directories, so that when:the Might1 ���company-shows;*an=increase::ofr25";243.*;in;t the. number of; persons of a given age- within ten years it is reasonably certain that the census return of an increase of but 26,751 in the number of persons of all ages is manifestly incorrect. One method of estimating population from directory returns, and one: which is.conceded to be safe, is.:to multiply, the names, in the directory- by, 2 3-4. If this is followed in the case of the latest issue of the Might:directory it. will-give Toronto an indicated population of 259,420 of 51,459 more than the number credited to the city, in the last census returns. It begins to look as if there were good grounds for: the com-r plaint that Ontario and the West were, given considerably the worst of. it* by-the federal census officers. A few experli ences of this nature will:not be unprofitable, however, if in the end it stimulates the different- provinces into undertaking the work of enumerating. While it* is not assumed that the federal authorities would accept the provincial enumeration, still.it cannot be denied that the knowledge that there was a good check upon them would make the federal. enumerators , more careful in, their work. In the case of:British.Columbia the pro-r vincial government has entered upon a crusade for better terms from the Dominion in the matter of its per capita grant, while at the same time it has taken no steps to ascertain whether or not the province is receiving its due under the existing arrangement, or. whether the census returns are correct upon which its per capita grant will be based for the next ten years. The taking of the census in a province like British Columbia is not a work of such magnitude as should frighten its legislature, nor would its cost be out of proportion to its probable advantages. If a compact city like Toronto has lost 50,000 from its population through careless enumeration, what possibilities there are for shrunken census returns j Both of the political parties in Ontario ���and Manitoba are fighting shy of the prohibition issue. The politicians are up against the real thing, and prefer votes to moral support. With them prohibition is merely one of the, issues, and they do not relish having, all their eggs in one basket. Even those' who personally favor prohibition are averse to giving the. issue undue, prominence in view of the effect, such action may have upon their candidature. Past experience has demonstrated that prohibionists develop more strength in public-meetings than at;the polls. The. most striking evidence of this: is furnished in: the province of Manitoba. It is not so very long ago since a representative prohibition meeting in Winnipeg, almost unanimously refused to even hear the explanation of. a provincial cabinet minister as to why the new provincial liquor law was not enforced. This would indicate a remarkably strong prohibition sentiment, and it is conceded that prohibition sentiment . is as strong, if not stronger, to Manitoba .than in' any other province in 1898-of giving-some indication of their prairie, province had an opportunity in 1898 of giving some, indication- of the strength upon a clean-cut prohibition issue. Was that the result? In spite of their, organization, and other advantages,, they were only: able to, muster 18 votes;, in; favor of - the measure out of every. 100��names upon the voters' list. Politicians in office are not looking for combinations which cannot promise more, than eighteen per cent of the vote; nor will the politicians whom the fortunes of war find out of office, for the ^time, risk their chances of getting back "by. and ihard-and fast alliance with the "; cold -water party; The approaching ref- . erendum upon ��� the prohibition issue in ������Manitoba and Ontario willbe interesting only as-an index to the state of public feeling today, as compared with public feeling upon the question four years ;ago.. Some of the. newspapers in British Columbia are; laboring.to create the impression, that the possibility of a fuel famine in the smelting districts of the province, is a bogey man.conjured up by the management of the Canadian .-Pacific Railway Company, and that the ������Crow's Nest Coal Company is in shape [to meet all demands made upon it. If this contention is correct what explanation have these newspapers to offer to jthe letter of D. Miller, second vice president of the Great Northern railway, ���Iwhich appears in another column? Put ���Jit-into plain language, the statement of jjMr. Miller is that the fuel supply for the i; British Columbia smelters is only main- 'tained by. the refusal of the Canadian i Pacific Railway Company to supply cars Jfor hauling ore to American points un- jtil the requirements of the provincial smelters are met. That through this action of the Canadian road the coal company, controlled by James J. Hill, was obliged to cancel one order of 40 cars of coal per day, and that there is no prespect of relief from the domination of-the Canadian Pacific until the Great Northern line is. completed to the coal; fields in May. This statement of the Great Northern's vice president was not made off hand, but as he states, upon an investigation of the situation. If Mr. Miller knows what he is writing about, the situation of the British Columbia smelters is even graver than many were inclined to think. Between now and May they can depend upon a sufficient fuel supply by reason of the policy of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, which withholds cars for export coal and coke until local demands have been met. But after May, the Canadian Pacific will be unable to protect them, for. the reason that the Great Northern railway will have its own connection with the coal fields, and its own cars, and the coal company will be free to accept business which under ex- A Prisoner in Eis Palace The sultan of Turkey is literally a prisoner in his own palace, says the Chicago Sunday Chronicle. He dares not venture outside its walls for fear of assassination. He is surrounded within its walls with every safeguard that ingenuity can demise, yet even there he is never free from the haunting fear that some of his satraps may prove disloyal and mix some poisonous potion with his food or drive a dagger in his heart as he moves from one department to the other. At the present time, however, he Is possessed of a new fear. Custom and law compel him once a year to make a pilgrimage to the shrine of Mohammed at Stamboul, there to kiss the mantle of the prophet which is sacredly preserved in a shrine erected for the purpose. At mid-Eamazan all rulers of Turkey must perform this religious duty of forfeit forever their standing as faithtul Mussul- men. It is the one day in the year that Abdul Hamid will move out of his palace at Yildiz Kiosk, and. he does it only because Islam requires the visit to be made during Kamazan, the Moslem Lent, a month corresponding with our December. During the first few years of his reign tho present sultan showed himself from time to time to his people. But since the unfortunate ending of tlie Russo-Turkish war, for which he felt himself guilty, and since his flrst acts of violence and cruel suppressions, which began about that time, and. above all, since the mad attempt ot A ii-Souav! ��� that audacious partisan of Mourad, who, at the head of a handful of men, forced the gates of Tcheragan palace, intending to drag forth a.dethroned emperor, and was massacred with all his companions���Abdul Hamid has gradually kept away from the palace. Since then, isolated from the rest of the universe on the heights of Yildiz, defended by thick walls, barracks and body guards, the voluntary captive, in spite of the precautions with which he is surrounded, supports with (lif- nculty an existence filled with suspicion Ll%o some 'idea can be had of the anguish which seizes his soul when he is compelled once a year to emerge from his retreat and come in close contact with, the crowd he fears and to pass through the city nej abhors, in order to attend the ceremony of Hirkai-Cherl���adoration of the cloak of the prophet and other sacred relics. i-lie grand religious festival is held at Stamboul, at Top-Capou palace, which-.is situated a considerable way from Yildiz. Th<* distance incommensurable to tne unhappy sultan, cruelly haunted as he is by a fixed idea of dangers to which tins accursed pilgrimage exposes him There, is not the slightest doubt but that he. would have done away with it long ago if he had dared touch a time honored custom in the ey��s of the people. But, thus compelled_by tradition, he submits to the ordeal with a. terror that he plainly shows long before the 15th day of Ramazan, the day fixed for the ceremony. ��.���'��������, Almost in a state of panic owing to the master's apprehensions, his minister of police, his courtier and spies endeavor to. surpass each other in a show of their zeal, and dream of nothing but conspiracies and .^A* month in advance all the secret and official police is on foot, and as the fatal dav draws near the precautions are ;-e- doiibled. A large number of the houses on thf route that the imperial procession will take are the objects of the most minute searches, and their occupants, who are all entered on the police registers, are strictly .fc.rbiddcn^to^appear^atJlielr^windowSiU-vtir his majesty has passed. An order is issued fo*- all gunmakcrs to close their.shops on n*at day, and, it hardly seems credible, all the pharmacists and druggists are ordered to remove from their shops the Inflammable or explosive substances they, may have in stock. Because of tho explosive properties of chlorate of potassium the importation of this drug into Turkey was prohibited a few years ago. Yet the druggists and pharmacists have gained permission to import small quantities of the drug for medicinal purposes. This quantity has been strictly limited so that it could not be put to any Illegal use by those handling it. But as it is possible that the respective supplies kept on hand by the 230 pharmacists and druggists of the capital might all be procured bv a regicide and used in an attempt on the sovereign on the morning of the ceirew niony of Hlrkai-Cherl orders were issued to the police to visit all these pharmaceutical establishments nnd seize the jars containing the chlorate potassium. The raids had to be made at the same time, so recalcitrants could not hide their chlorate. These operations took place, and thus has once more been conjured the danger always apprehended on the occasion of the pilgrimage of his majesty to Top-Capou. The day of the ceremony, early in the morning, the quarters of Bechiktach, Gal- ata and Stamboul present unusual animation. Gangs of workmen work feverishly to throw over the streets and bridges���which are always repaved for the occasion���a-- thick laver of sand*, engineers, accompanied by police, make a minute inspection of the sewers, water and gas pipes and every possible place that could be mined. Tho streets are double lined with troops, who are' to form a double barrier between the padisha and his people, but if this human barrier were not there it would be difficult if not Impossible, for Abdul Hamid's subjects to catch a glimpse "pf their sovereign. Crouching at the back of a victoria- he never rides in a closed carriage, fearing not to be able to get out quick enough in case of accident���the raised hood of which conceals a steel shield between the outside leather and the cloth lining, the sultan, with his two magnificent horses at full gallop,, passes like the wind, surrounded by a living fortress of aides^Je-camp and courtiers, who hide him almost completely from the gaze of the crowd. Usually his favorite son, prince Burhaneddin- *-<"ffendi, is seated on his left, and opposite him formerly sat marshal Ghazi Osman Pasha, the illustrious defender of Plevna, who died last year. The marshal owed this honor less to the affection or favor of his master than to the popularity lie liim- ���30lf enjoyed, as in the sultan's eyes he presented a certain guaranty of protection and security for his own person. For the last few years even this rapid gallop across the city has been considered too dangerous, and on the advice of his former minister of police, Na*;in Pasha, Abdul Hamid fellows a new itinerary to Top-Capou, which avoids crossing the Karakcui bridge. He first goes in the carriage as far as the Dolma-Bagtche palace, where ho embarks In his steam launch, the Teclirilio, which takes him to the Polntc du VIcux Serail.

The sultan prefers, to leave, thel public in the dark by making preparations on two or three routes at once. This prevents the crowd from massing In-too great numbers on any route that he.might pass. As soon as he disembarks at the Pointe du Serail the padisha gets into another1 carriage, which drives rapidly through the Babi-Houmayoun . gate of tho Top-Capou palace and draws'up in front of the. Babi- Seadet (Gate of Happiness). Here the sovereign-alights, and followed by the high dignitaries and functionaries of the state, proceeds to. the sanctuary where.the sacred relics are carefully .guarded. Then "the ceremony begins. In the vast hall, in which float rare perfumes from-the- burning censors, the sultan raises with his own hands thf sumptious shaw.ls making the cloak of (he prophet. During this time ohoirsters and reciters chant sacred toxts. Then, at a sign from his majesty, the grand vizier.- The Shiek ul Islam, and other high functionaries, pass one by one before the sovereign.

' " After the ministers come the turn of the Imperial princes, of <���hc.ve.lide sultana.and the ladies of the harem, who arrived long before his majostr".

Condition of the Church in America A Boston esimate ot the prospects for the new: year of American, churches, represents the- Presbyterians, Method^ ists, Lutherans, Disciples pf Christ, Quakers and United Brethren as highly presperous and hopeful. Roman.j Cathi olics, Jews, Unitarians and Universal- ists are doing only fairly well. Congre- gationalists and Episopalians are sufT fering from conditions due to "a temporal beclouding of the evangelistic emphasis." In the one, intellectually has- a-one to the extreme, and in the other, individuality, and this Boston authority is anxious about them. "Temporal beclouding of the evangelistic emphasis" is a pretty common disease nowadays, and whoever got up so admirable a name for it has reason to be proud of his worK. It is not exclusively a church disease, but is noticed in politcs, too���yes, even in literature. Take that new poem of Kipling's for instance. It would be hard to express an impression -that it leaves on some minds more accurately than by saying it suggests a temporal beclouding of the evangelistic emphasis in Mr. Kipling. In his case the imperialistic emphasis seems to be crowding the other out, which is a pity; for the evangelistic emphasis which distinguished his "Recessional" got a more general and earnest response 'than any single note he ever sounded.���Harper's Weekly.

CANADA'S GREAT HIGHWAY Its Claims for Recognition Interviewed this morning concerning the contract recently closed by the imperial government, with the Canadian- Pacific Railway Company, for the transportation of troops from England via Canada and the transpacific steamers to. China and vice versa, George McL. Brown, executive agent of the railway company, stated that recently the imperial authorities . had made several trials of the route, Svith most satisfactory results. There are many points in favor of. the transportation of troops via the Canadian route, as compared with the Peninsular .&. Oriental' line. ' For instance, troops "leaving England for the China station' can be landed in Hongkong well within twenty-two: days,-, if iiot quicker,������ and-, the men do not suffer 'the" fatigue incident to the long voyage under tropical skies,; as is the-case via the Suez canal route';' Recently the C. P. R. has'- speciaally equipped what are termed kitchen cars, for attachment to all trans- " port trains. These cars greatly facilitate the smooth running of the commissariat department, and it is therefore possible to provide better food than in the ordinary coaches. Should an emergency arise when it will become desirable to rush troops from England to Oriental stations, arrangements can readily be made whereby the Atlantic ocean, will, be bridged in five days, the transcontinental run from Halifax to Vancouver made in four days, and the passage from this city to Hohkoug made in thirteen days. Such rapid execution can only be accomplished by: the Canadian-route. It is even thought possible that' troops can be landed in India as quickly, if not quicker, via Canada than by the- Peninsular & Oriental route.-, George McL. JBrown stated today a fact which is not generally, known, as it has never been published, and that is that as long ago as 1S54 the imperial authorities had considered the Canadian route to China as the coming highway for the rapid transportation of troops. In .that year an oflicer of-the Royal Engineers published a phamphlet showing the great possibilities of the route, and on the front cover of the booklet there appeared a map showing in detail the line of railway from Montreal to the Pacific ocean, which would be necessary to construct. Wonderful as it may seem it is nevertheless,'a fact that the line mapped out-in 1854 by that officer of the Royal Engineers is that followed today by the C. P. R. The route of 1854 ran from Montreal to the location of North Bay and along the northern, shore of lake Superior, through northwestern Ontario to Winnipeg and thence along the. boundary line, between, Canada.and the United States to the Rockies and crossed the mountains at a point in the vicinity of Kicking Horse pass. It is another interesting fact that this old routei followed the_.XrMgr^.yjver__tg,_...a_. "place where Mission -Junction now is and ended at salt water on Burrard Inlet ���Vancouver���'a city little dreamt of then. .: : There is but one or two of these pamphlets now in. existence.; one is known to be in provincial library'at Victoria,- and the other is one of the most prized possessions of George McL. Brown.��� The Province. ' ��� Alien Labor Deportations According to the annual report of the ���minister of labor, there were 71 complaints of violations of the alien labor law between September, 1900, and June, 1901; Of these 64 cases were investigated. As a result of the investigations, there were found to be no violation of the act in 48 cases, and in 16 violatio'n was disclosed. Fifty-two persons were deported after investigation, and nineteen left voluntarily while investigation was in progress. So we see that our friend Ed Williams, inspector under the alien labor act, has not been altogether idle. But how.;does it; happen that.no action, has yet been taken in the case of the miners imported by the Le Roi Mining Company to take the places of its striking workmen? It is said that the company brought 600 men from Missouri and put Qxera to work���and they are still at ���work notwithstanding the settlement of -tlie disputes between the company and its old employes. The strikers- have yielded to the company's terms, but most of them are still out, and the aliens imported to displace them are still at work. There is no doubt that the importation of these men' from Missouri was a violation of the alien labor law. How is it that action has not been taken to put the law in force against them and the company? Can it be that inspector Williams and minister Mulock arc afraid to tackle these six hundred bold, bad miners from "ole Mizzoura," who carry guns and know how to use them? ���Hamilton Herald.

He uttered all manner of harsh things against the Republican nominee, and felt that if he should ever meet him it would be embarrassing. After the campaign was over Bryan accepted an invitation to make an address at Omaha. He was somewhat discon- cerned when he saw the governor on the platform, and dreaded meeting the man whom he liad so savagely denounced.1 The chairman of the committee on programme introduced the singers and speakers to the governor, who, in turn, presented them to the audience. "'Introduce William J. Bryan,' suggested the chairman to the governor, when Bryan's turn came. " 'I have the honor, said the governor, 'to present to. you Mr. William J. Bryan���' ��� . , "The governor paused. 'He did not seem to know what to say next. Then he leaned over to Bryan.' 'Are you a singer" or a speaker?' he asked 'I speak,' said Bryan. "'Who* will now make an address, added the'governor, as he again faced the audience with the air of relief.

HIS FIRST AND LAST MODEL The Great Northern's Version The Canadian Pacific seems to be gobbling up enough of the Crow's Nest coal output so that the Great Northern is hot able to get enough to furnish its customers, who are anxious to purchase coal. It is reported, however;' that the Great Northern is getting a. supply for the use of the road.' ,; ���*���"'. " The Great Northern owns large deposits ,of the .Crow's Nest coal, but,, itv-is. claimed, is deprived of the use of 'much' of it, as the Canadian Pacific wiil)'no't furnish cars by which to transport the output of the American railway lines. The Canadian Pacific also, it is understood, is unwilling to let cars be furnished for the purpose of filling outside orders for this coal until its own orders have been filled. Some time-ago there was considerable discussion in the newspaper world- as to whicli road would capture the output from this coal deposit. The Great. Northern and the Canadian Pacific skirmished for some time in getting this matter settled, and finally the Great Northern was conceded to have gained control of a large field. This road began the construction of a line to the helds. The Canadian Pacific, however, is refusing to give.the other road the coal that it wants until its own orders are"fiilled. A letter from D. Miller, second vice president of the Great Northern, to. a local dealer thus explains the condi- tior.= : , "I. find upon investigation the situation to be that the Canadian Pacific ,haveJncreased^theiE=,or.(l.er^fori_coaL,tp; such an extent that the coal company is not able to fill their outside orders, ahd the Canadian Pacific will not furnish cars for outside orders until their own orders have been filled. Under, these condition the coal company is powerless. This company has had an order for 40 cars of coal, per day, but. same has been shut off. "I*do not think we can depend upon any relief until we get our own lino completed into the coal fields, which I regret to say, however, will not be in time for this winter's business, as we do not expect to have the line completed before May next."���Spokane Chronicle. Shepard on Croker The newspapers estimated, with practical genuis, the danger of scattering fire and the advantage of a specific target, from which their range should never be diverted, and which should have about it a personal and familiar pic|* turesqueness sure to hold popular interest. This they found in Richard Croker, the leader-of Tammany hall. In cartoons, and in the verile and un- wearidly continuous work of reporters and editorial writers alike, they held him up as a heavy, brutal, dull, insolent, corrupt, tyrannical, reckless, unreasoning, absentee, political "boss." What measure of justification there was for this it is not within the scope of this article to enquire. I may say, however, that where, in uur country, with our secret ballot and free and constant discussion, one man holds for half a generation (not for five or six years of a Tweed, or three or four years' popular military fury of an Alcibiades) the effective support of great masses of citizens of an industrial and highly civilized community (including for shorter or longer periods, men of all grades of wealth, intelligence, and public spirit), ^o that his will is, or rather seems to be, "-.heirs, a philosophic observer will probably believe that there are at least some errors or omission in the portraiture. If not, then there are many problems, puzzling indeed, in the history of Manhattan burough, and among them the nomination of so justly distinguished a character as Abram S. Hewitt by Tammany hall under the Croker leadership in 1SS6.���Edward M. Shepard in February Atlantic. Story of a Paris Studio Twenty years ago a painter of Paris achieved success and-fortune bis* painting pretty and effective pictures of the nude. There was not a salon in which he did not exhibit. The. picture-dealers quarreled for his pictures. He turned out scores of pictures'���and each of them was a slim girl, who posed in the red of the firelight or lolled dreaming among the pillows, or rose radiant and white from some brook. Now all this meant that the artist, who had competent technique, had found the model who fitted his genuis like a glove. He found'the model who could collaborate with his talent. And that you know, is the great thing in painting. -The years went by; taste changed; people tired of the pic-^ tures; critics told the artist he was "in a rut". and pelted him with epigrams. He-changed his style. He went in for- landscape. He tried portraiture. People had come to think of him as a man with a knack of doing only one'kind ot work, and of that they had tired. Little by little he dropped out of sight. His name did not appear in the catalogues, At first every means of winning a new success was tried desperately. Gradually he became reconciled to faliure and was glad when a mere living could be eked out. Often this was in question. The trouble was he could not find his way again���and he was a man of only a bit over forty. ���; , He had a studio, a gaunt, bare place, over thev boulevard Edgar Qulnlet. A" few riionths ago he was sitting there, staring 'gloomingly at an empty canvas. A; little ambition:. had flickered up in him and he was trying to scheme out a-picture "for the salon; yes, he would try again;'he would force the doors' of the salon���the' scenes of his- old triumphs; but with what? He looked at his old sketches���slim and gracile nudities���studies made long ago; he felt that he could- paint something in the mdnner of his youth and-better than.-he had evei-dorie.: But what subject? ' There was a knock at the door; a little woman came in; she was dressed .in. shabby finery and, in fact, she was dirty. Her breath came quick, for she had climbed. four pairs of stairs, but she tried to smile coquettishly. '���' "Do you want a model?" asked the little old woman, holding the door ajar. ��� The north light came full";upon her; as the painter looked he could see every wrinkle in her unwashed, painted face, the bags under her burnt-out eyes, the sag in her shoulders and all the tawdy ribboned rags that shook as she .stood there trembling on her rheumatic legs; so grotesque the figure was that in spite of himself he smiled. : The woman answered the smile, but with such a pittiable attempt at gayety. She hobbled forward with ghastly coquetry. "I have not changed much/i she said brightly. ��� "I can pose as well, as ever." "You,'it- is: you, Yvonne!".the'painter Si^fefewJyC w^^-^J^S^.j^Jh^m-jdeL of his youth who had come up to him from what black years of sin. and misery he could easily imagine. He put his hand in his pocket to give her what money he could spare; then he would send her away. Yvonne understood. She sank into a chair and began to sob ���perhaps until then-she had not realized how far she had fallen away from her youth. "I am not a beggar," she said. "I came to pose." The man was touched; memories of pleasant, and prosperous times they had spent together arose; he. recollected it was on her he had bitilt up the fame of his early days. "Of course you shall pose," he said kindly. "There, Yvonne, take your place on the stand���there!" She got up, trying to. smile; her draggled hat wobbled on'her gray hair. She thrust off her coat, and. removed the waist of her dress. ' "No, no," said the artist;*"that will do, Yvonne." * As she stpod there, pathetic.and abject, he made * his- ��� sketch;' >-for 'many days after that she Carrie and posed for him���it was the only way he could help her. It was,not only for the money; the work was a tonic for .her. At last the painting was finished; he put it away and went, back to his picture for the salon. He could make nothing for it. "We're both failures," he said at last laughing, grimly. "Yvonne and.I. I'll send in the study I made of her." "The Old Model" was the .success of the year. Its truth and pathos made it a masterpiece. Today he is as famous as ever, Only now he paints old: women���faded and pitiable old women who are comments, at once grim and sad, on the life of our day. 'And Yvonne, who was his first model, is his last.���The Cosmopolitan.

GIVING WHISKEY AN AGE New Discovery Made in London Confident announcement has just been made of a discovery that Is likely to revolutionize the spirits trade both in this country and America. The discovery is that of a process that will, in a few months, lend "age" to whisky. The result, as confidently stated, will be the immediate release from bond of thousands of gallons of whisky, and a material cheapening of the product of the still. In fact, it is expected here that whisky, formerly sold at from 6 to 10 shillings, will be marked at as low as 2 shillings per bottle. The discoverer of the method is professor J. T. Hewitt, of the East London technical college. He is a man of scholarly attainments, and is prominent in scientific circles. Professor Hewitt made his an- fST1!' i1' i"*- meeting of the Society of ^S^Li"?"8-*^. h'W at the Burlington support of his claims, had Schlldrowitz, a spirit 10:10 a. m. 11 a.m GBEAT NORTHERN SYSTEM.

P. R. boys on Thursday evening, met their Waterloo on Saturday when they ran up against the retail clerks. At the end of the first half the rangers had matters pretty much their own way, as the goals were 4 to 2 against their opponents. After the usual Interval play was resumed, when the clerks finished up the rest of the game with a siege of scoring, which left them Victors by a score of 10 to 5. .The Florence Crittenden society have arranged a series of lectures to be delivered by the medical men of the city in aid of the mission connected with the institution bearing the above name.

MONTREAL, February 9.���The steamer Grecian went ashore during a heavy snowstorm. A portion of her cargo has been removed, and the captain has hopes of getting the vessel off in the morning. MONTRF.AL, February 9.���Mrs. David Sutherland, a young English woman, who house, and, in the backing of DK expert of internationaf "fame" nBl- ��Coh..ilKr0uVit,2 toId the assembled scientists, that he had tested and examined several samples of whisky prepared under professor Hewitt's formula, and found that he had succeeded in eliminating the poisonous qualities from the new- whisky, and of giving it the flavor of a product that is kept tor years In barrels. Of course, the professor did not publicly disclose what his formula is composed of. He simply declared he had achieved success by adding certain chemical substitutes to the potsill." The result that a certain chemical was formed in the still with the noxious components in the new whisky ^"d���,that; thus the liquor was practically distilled over, becoming quite pure. The poisons, in fact, were removed entirely from the whisky. ���Before beginning his lecture professor Hewitt pointed out that the badness of new whisky is due to the presence of certain deleterious substances, known chemically as aldehydes, which, in ordinary language, were gradually grouped together with some other substances ahd known as fusel oil. Back in li>88, sir Thomas 'Lauder Brunton had told the British spirit commission the most dangerous of these' substances was called furfurol. It was not, however, as professor Hewitt explained, difficult to detect the presence of furfurol in whisky, the process being the simple one of adding a little-aniline and acetic acid to the spirit. If the furfurol were present the mixture turned to a bright pink, and the pink became deeper in color, according to the amount of furfurol the spirit contained. There was, of course, one way of eliminating these poisonous aldhydes, and that was the long and costly process of storing whisky in casks for several years, preferably ii*. casks that had contained sherry. This process, however, had Its drawbacks, A good deal of the alcohol was lost, and the spirit consequently became weaker, while there was also of necessity, a loss of interest on the capital; laid out while the whisky was maturing for several years. ' \ . Economic considerations also entered into the problem, for this maturing process added materially to the cost of the whisky by the time it reached the consumer. The irresslstible conclusion,, therefore, was that the cheaper a whisky is the more poison it contains. Innumerable attempts had been made to hasten the process of "aging" the spirit,-but without consideration for the public health,, and always in the Interest- of: the manufacturer. From these two points.of view, professor Hewitt contended, it was extremely-desirable.that some effective means-should be discovered of ridding this beverage of. its' poisonous constituents quickly and in such a.fashion that even the cheapest whisky might not have tho results which the-consumption of cheap or unmatured whisky .by *the;"poorer class undoubtedly entailed.. The professor then gave .a few_more: particulars of his manner, of "aging" the whisky. The most important point in his disclosures, was that by his process but a few months were all that was necessary to convert the raw product of. the distillery into a fine, mature and, most important of all, a wholesome beverage. After a brief discussion, in .which the importance of the professor's statement was commented upon, more-, especially in relation of the amount of whisky always in bond in Great Britain. Professor Hewitt exhibited several samples'..that had been tested under his formula. They were passed around and "sampled" by the scientists amid much amusing -comment. The specimens appeared to be beautifully clear and pure to the eye, and without the high colors associated with most blends of whisky. Dr. Hewitt has conducted his experiments, not only in the laboratory of; the East London technical college, but, also, on a large scale at one of the big Scotch distilleries.
