GIRLIN WALKERTON.

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manches- ter, Mich, tells how such a slave was made free. He says : “My wife has been so help- less for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully im- proved and able to do her own work.” This supreme remedy for female diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, melan- choly, headache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medi- cine is a godsend to week, sickly, run down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by Ostrom Bros. & Go., Druggists. 9

Mrs Hugh McMillan and Miss Mary Mo- Millan returned homo to Alexandria last Satarday after spending a couple of weeks with friends here.

The rain which was so much needed has come at last and with the rain came much cooler weather compared to the warm spell of the past few days.

For Three Years She Could Only go With the Aid of Crutches-Had to be Helped In and Out of Her Restoration to Health Was Unlocked For.

From the Walkertoa Telescope.

A couple of Walkerton ladies were redefli- lydiscuaaing the case ofa mutualfriend'Wbo, owing to the sudden development of a bad attack of sciatica, had been . compelled to take to her bed, when a third lad^ present, but who was a stranger to the yotmg wo- men in question male the bemark» “I would advise your friend to take Dr. Will- iams’ Pink Pills.” Asl^ed to give her reasons for making this - recommendation she proceeded to give the details of a most remarkable core that bad been effected by Dr Williams* Pink ï’ills on the daughter of her nearest neighbor, a Miss Rebecca Greenhow, and the story as told by tbe lady, having subsogaently been repeated in the hearing of the editor of this paper, we decided to investigate and find out from per- sonal inqniry all the circumstances of this seeming remarkable instance of the power of medicine ove^ disease. That evening we called at Mr Greenbow’s residence. Both Mr and Mrs Greenhow were at home, bat their daughter had 'gone down town. “Yes,” replied Mrs Greenhow in answer to a question in regard to the reported cure, “My daughter has been cured; I believe Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills saved her life.” She then gave the circumstances of her daugh- ter’s illness and cure as follows:—

“Rebecca, is seventeen years of age. When she was eleven she was attacked with tonsilitis and following tnis for tbe next three years she never had a moment free from pain. She began to complain of pains all over her body but chiefly in her back. She became so weak and run down that she was unable to walk without the as- istance of a crutch.The doctor said she was suffering from inflammatory rheumatism brought on by an impoverished condition of the system. Uo prescribed various reme- dies but nothing seemed to do her any'good and finally we decided to try an other doc- tor. He also pronounced the trouble to be rheumatism but though he gave bottle after bottle of medicino,she still continued to grow weaker. By the end of the second year she was unable to leave the house and could only move from one room to another by tbe use of her crutches. We were advised to get her an electric bolt and did so, but though she wore it for a long time it did her no good whatever. During the third winter she became so bad that she had to be assisted in and out of bed, and could not eveu raise from a chair without assistance. We had given up all hope of her recovery when Mr John Allan, who had himself been similarly afflicted, but who had been cui bv the use of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills, vised us to give them a trial. We tried so many things without success we hesitated to accept hi^adjdce,but ^ Eisted so strongly finally ylalpiiSI: ^ The first five boxes seemed to , peoduce no change, but before she had finished the sixth box we were sure we could notice some improvement, and felt encouraged to continue their use. From that on she con- tinued to improve steadily, and by the time she had taken eighteen boxes every trace of pain had left her. She threw away her cratches and soon forgot that she had ever needed them. For months past she has been filling a position in the rattan factory and can work as well as anyone. Indeed I do not believe that there is to-day a healthier girl in Walkerton.

Such is Mrs Greenhow’s story of the cure of her daughter through the use of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills after years of great suffering. We may add that a day or two later the writer called obco more at the Greenhow abode in hope of seeing tbe young lady herself. This time she was at home and she came into tbe room. She presented an appearance of most perfect health. She repeated the story of hsr suff erings in substantially the same terms as her mother had done, and, like her mother, gives all the credit toDrWilliams’PinkFllls. Rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, partial

paralysis, locomotor atazîa,’’^ïerYqtm bead* ache, nervous prostration, and diseases depending upon humors în tbo-blood* as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc., all dis- appear before a fair treatment with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions. Sold by all dealers and post paid at 50o. a box or six boxes for $2.50 by addressing the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont.

TEMPER.

After Mr. Mulock had introduced the third reading of the Bedistribation Bill the other night the Opposition was practic- ally acrimonious and spiteful. It is sur- prising that an Opposition should attempt to opj^e the Bill, the principal feature of which is to rescue the municipal boundaries from the crazy patch work looking map, the outcome of the notorious gerrymander act of 18S2. Sir Charles Topper as nsnal was ill tempered and made a long speech denunciatory and menacing. After condemning the Bill in strong language he held, over the government the bludgeon of the Senate’s veto, as if be con- trolled that august assembly of antiquated legislators. Let the Commons pass the BUI and send it up and let the Senate veto the Bill. The more they do of this veto business the sooner will they come to realize that a long suffering people will lose patience with this irresponsible Senate and demand its abolition.

WÀSTim TIME.

tp:

A good deal of clap trap was indulged in bytheOppositioD daring this session regard-

- ing the so-called maladministration of the affairs in the Yukon. The same may be said concerning the Drummond Eailway hr Intercolonial extension. They are con- tinually barking np the wrong tree bat their bark like their bite is harmless. The introduction of the new Bedistribation Bill wiU no doubt afford them another chance in the sanie direction, and though this Bill is to remedy one of the most disgraceful blots upon thepolitical history of the country they of coarse decry it. The iniquities and inequalities of the Canadian election law which has existed siuce 1882 are a crying evil and in the Bill now before the House it is proposed to remedy the deplorable

-«fete oraffaira raijtlïcra^d' "^nes for party purposes. The present BUI is pro>iog an eye opener to a good many people who have hitherto been ignorant of the true state of affairs. When the Tories were in power they could see nothing wrong in giving the population of Leeds and Grenvilla 26,450 inhabitants two representatives in the House of Commons,

-, but when the 78,862 people of West Toronto who only bad one representative and asked for another they set up tr^endous howl of apparent surprise and

~ÿ- indignation, but then in this case party interests are reversed and they are shont ing loudly about the dishonesty of giving 15,000 people in Brant os much parliament àry influence as 50,000 in Toronto. To make representation by population some- thing real in Canadian politics this Bedis< tribution Bill must be put through to a Buooessful issue and thereby remedy a

^ political farce which has existed lor more ^than thirty years. Let the government

push their reform in this direotion as much this session os they possibly can and if next year stUl more improvements are necessary by all meauB continue, the good ^frariEr-4)h6liray't^t some oonstltuenoies were carved up out of all somblanoe, dis- jointed, taiceh off peaoemeal, added to and in some cases completely obliterated for party gains was only one of the many ..daring contrlvanoes so sucoessfully worked

, ^[^by the late Tory government to keep to themselves the reins of power as long as they did. It redounds to the credit of the Laurier Government that they have aoootqpliahed so much reform since they come to power and that they intend to continue to do so they do not hesitate to annonnoe. The attitude of the Opposition ÎB exactly the'same on the Tariff Question. The oonntry is prosperous and contented, and yet they are continually asking why the present- government do not alter the tariff. There is not the slightest doubt bnt that when the necessity arises for a change in the tariff the Laurier Govern- ment will change same to suit the times, but they are not fools enough to disturb the oommeroial sea to pleat» the Opposition. By theh influence in the Senate they baulked the YuKon Bill and that country loses daily because of the Senate’s action, and now they are playing for the same game regarding the Bedistribation Bill. If the Senate would throw themselves out AS laadUy -as' they throw out legislation they would perforiü a long felt desire of ^he people.

m- .

adopted with tho result that Us progress was checked and the disease finally dis- appeared. The alarming increase of this deadly and insidious consumption has assumed such formidable proportions as to attract the .very serious attention of the Government. Something must be done to combat the growth of this disease. The idea so common among our people that consumption is not contagious is now dispelled and the fact must strike us with fear when we realize that this slow but deadly disease is as contagious as fevers. Some medical men, for instance, Dr. A. L. Macdonald, of Alexandria, has for some years given much thought to consumption, and has on many occasions expressed himself in language .showing the necessity for isolation. The idea that this disease is hereditary as also that it is incurable is now dispelled by medical authority. Con- sumption is not hereditary in the sense commonly attributed, and tho increase of the disease in Glengarry as elsewhere must lie in its deadly contagion. We echo the voice of the provincial authorities in devoting space to sound the alarm to our people that they, realizing their danger, will see to it that in all cases contact with consumptives in room or house must be avoided. Moreover, let us here remark and it has been clearly proven that this consumption or tuberculosis has been transmitted principally •through infected mHk taken from infected cows. A few days ago of twenty-five cows slaughtered seventeen were infected with this terrible disease. Our government should have every cow in the province examined by exerts and every infected animal des- troyed. Borne such efforts as this, to- gether with a strict rule of isolation, wonld soon show a decrease as in the case of smallpox. " ' •

" NOTE OF WARNING:'

The Annual report of the Provincial Board of Health for the past twelve months makes very interesting reading. The report on the whole is satisfactory, show- ing clearly that infections diseases which

^ for a years past bavé been prevalent in oar oiti^, towns and villages had very

* materially^ decreased. We need not go Alexandria to note the improvement

V in this regard. ' Of course it is early in the 7- Buramer season to indulge as yet in self

oon^ratulatioas of this f^t, nevertheless, we alright in saying that the almost

-yearly report of scarlet fever Aôd other infectious afflictions which used to make their appearances in our midst have alto- S gather disappeared. We presume that a stricter attention to sanitary conditions

j.;< around the houses has something to do with this. vigilant annual warning to par citizens issued by onr worthy reeve

^ and council compels our people to adhere .to the precepts of the law in this regard and tiie community reaps the benefit

. There is one cause for

[.pleasant L valence of

{ infections with aatoniehingljgfê^lï!*' " The Provincial

[ Board has dose its best to lessen the f ' incidence of infection by placing consump-

tion on the list of notifiable diseases, means that now when consumption

^xe.deolAEed to have attacked a residence I the medi(»l attendants should notify the i^health itt^eo»» and steps taken at once

placard the house, the same as in a case t scarlet fever. This was done in the

s of smallpox and see the result. From :.1869 to X878 there were 527 deaths. In r the second ten years, 1879 to 1888 there

Ï 477 deaths. From 1889 to 1898 there ’ were cmly 18 deaths. Taking from 1869 to ^1888 there was only one year, 1887, in ^wbioh im deaths were reported. Of the K.lagt ten years, however, there were eight

years in which no mortality whatever [>;POcarred. During the early part of the I present year there were nine deaths from v-emallpox in this eastern part of the

. province and this was mainly due to the fact that the disease had gained a foothold

' before its character was detected. When ^ the presence of smallpox became known Ijgeneml vAcoination and isolation were

Throughout the whole coarse of his three hours’ deliverance, there was an open and determined appeal to the Senate to kill this measure when it finally reached that venerable body. The Senators’ gallery in the Commons was noticeably thronged with the hoary-headed Tory members of the Upper House during the period ocenpi- ed by the speech of the Opposition leader ; and his words, whether dictatorial to these Senators or laudatory of their past actions, were listened to with marked attention and appreciation. In fact, the approbation of Sir McKenzie Bowell was frequently dis- played by gesture and slapping the knees of his neighboring colleagues in the seat beside him, during Sir Charles’ criticisms on the bill< Although Sir Oharles stated that he had never canvassed a Senator personally, or sought to influence his vote on the Drummond Bailway bill or the Yukon Bailway bill, nor would he en the occasion of the consideration of the Bedistribation bill, he nevertheless took just as effective a coarse by approaching Tory Senators from bis place in parlia- ment, in 80 plain and nnmistakeable a manner, that it probably has no precedent in this country. Senators were instruoted as to what was expected of them, and in what direction their path of duty to party lay in finally disposing of the measure now before the Commons. Sir Charles plainly intimated that his hope of return to power rekted in the indefinite continuance of tbe policy of “hiving the Grits,” and that if a proper equalization of tbô^voting strength of both parties in Ontario was affected by this bill, it meant good-bye to this cherish- ed hope.

How long the debate upon the Bedistri- bution Bill will oontinue is, of course, largely a matter of speculation. There is no reason why it should not end by the close of the present month,- as the. time then spent in its discussion will give every opportunity to the Opposition for ample and legitimate criticism. Such, however, is not the purpose of the Tapper faction. They are set upon tbe defeat of tbe bill by the Senate, and every effort will be made to prepare gcound, and afford some plausible excuse, for the decapitation of tbe bill by their trusty henchmen in the Upper Chamber. This seems to be the impres- sion which now prevails at the Capital. This impression is not ill- founded either for Sir Charles in conclud- ing Ids remarks, gave ntterance to these significant words : “You may be able to force this bill through this chamber, but I miqudge tbe independent character of the Parliament of Canada if such a measure ever becomes law.” In other words, that groop of Tory partizans, independent certainly of tho people but snbservient to party, which now constitutes the largo majority in the membership of the Senate, may safely be depended upon to carry out the party behests and thus perpetuate the grossest injustice that ever one political party has ^rpetrated against another.

The Bedistribation Bill will affect by its provisions the security of not a few seats on the ministerial side of the House and will wipe out tbe seat at present filled by the Speaker. It does not, however legis- late against individuals but is so devised as to conform as far as practicable to the Liberal principle laid down in 1893, that political divisions shall be embraced with- in county boundaries as they.were prior to the disruption of the same by the gerry- mander act of 1882. The country has, for a long time, been fully cognizant of that principle and pronounced in favor of it three years ago. The government is now endeavorL:,;to fniflU ita pledge and give effect to the people’s mandate, but tbe Cpposition disputes the pronouncement of the electorate. And why ? Everyone : knows that it is simply because, if this bill becomes law, it will destroy the nloe

corner” in parliamentary representation which tbe Tories have so long enjoyed in Ontario.

The able and forcible reply of the Hon Mr. Patterson, Minister of Customs,, to the criticisms of the Tory leader, exposed the untenable and, to say the least, very unenviable position in which theOpposition has placed itself in its factious obstruction to the passage of the Bedistribation Bill. He showed that it was designed not with the intention of acoeptiug Tory precedent and gerrymander to patty advantage, but for the .purpose of undoing a grevions wrong to which Liberals for tbe past seventeen years have been . subjected. Beferring to this great wrong, perpetrated against tbe Liberal party by the gerry- mander bill of 1882, Mr. Patterson said :—

A majority in the Parliament of Canada, elected not upon that issge, used their power in this Chamber, without debate and in dumb silence, to vote down amendment

after amendment, and not daring to lift their heads when they understood the iniquities which they supported by their votes. And, Sir, the iniquities of that bill wore farther exemplified in this, that men who sat side by side itTlbis Chamber, men who dined at the same table, men who were friends socially, witnessed the scene in this House of Conservative members so far forgetting themselves that they deli- berately, through the force of a majority in numbers, legislated to strengthen their own political position. That was bad enough, but that was not all that aronsed indignation. They saw members of this Honse who were brave enough to legislate in order to strengthen their own position, and who were mean enough, at the same time, to plot against their fellow-members in the adjoining constituencies, so as to put them to political death by an Act of Parliament. That was what raised the indignation. It was then shown that this member, and that member and the other member, and still another and another of the Liberal members who could not be defeated in any other way, were singled out to he legislated out of Parliament, amid the jeers of some of tbe more gross- minded of their political opponents. The Bill was fought against ; twenty-two amendments were moved, each one reciting an eniquity, and these amendments were voted down in dumb silence, 42 yeas and 99 nays ; vote after vote, not a word of defence from the Conservative government

)BUpporters who, thongh they might with downcast heads vote for the gerrymander of 1882, could not for very shame stand up and defend it.”

Tbe government, in fulfillment of the Liberal pledge, proposes- to rectify the gross injury inflicted not only upon the Liberals as a party, but upon the Ontario electorate, when the voice of tbe people of that province was stiffled by the shame- ful Tory scheme of 1882. The determina- tion of tbe Opposition is to continue in its dishonorable career, and by tbe aid of the party machine in the Senate, to gag the popular voice and prevent a true expres- sion of the political opinion of the great

in the Parliament of Canada. 'When this intention becomes a fact, as it now seems it may, tbe indignation of the people will find its vent at the next general election, and Sir Charles and his coerced following in the Senate will find, to tkeir cost perhaps, that they committed a last and irretrievable folly.

This is to certify that it has boon necessary for me to wear spectacles for tbe last twenty- six years, and during that time I have broken and lost many pairs. On account of my eyes being very weak I consulted some of the best city opticians of the United States and Canada, paying as high as $8 per pair for glasses. One year ago I required a new pair and decided to give Mr. McLoister, Chemist and Optician, of Alexandria, a trial, tho result was that he fitted mo with tho best pair of spectacles I have ever had, and I speak from experience as I have boeh wearing his glasses for a year and con read for hoars by lamp light without the slightest trouble. My eyes, being completely rested, are growing stronger, and I have much pleasure in recom- mending Mr. MoLeistor to anyone requiring properly fitting spectacles.

Reduction Sale.

In a few months'I shall remove to one of three stores here (at my command), of which due notice will be given later.

My present stock being too large occupying from the cellar to the attic together with ware- houses) for any of these stores. I shall com- mence my Reduction Sale on the

First day of July and you may look for REAL BARGAINS.

My would be competitors know quite well that even at regular prices they cannot reason- ably offer you the same good values—because of the plain fact that as I buy double the quantity they do for both my Lancaster and Alexandria stores, I can, and do undersell all in many lines and this accounts for my large trade.

If you are not already a regular customer of mine perhaps it may be that you are timid to go by your old store that is ancient in every respect but in one way—I leave you to think for yourself how. It will be some satisfaction to you to just know how much you can, save and if some ads. in this paper are not expensive (to you) exaggerations of what they would like to do—you are invited to join those that can save money during this sale.

I can only give you a few sample prices for want of space : Other merchants boast of flour at $2.25 and $2.10,

My best only $2.00. Other merchants boast of oatmeal at $2.25, my best

only $2.00, Other mejrchants boast of tea at 25c, my best only 22 Other merchants boast of men’s fine boots at $1.50 and

$1.65, my best at $1.25 and $l,ZtO. Other merchants boast of men’s heavy boots at $1.10

and I1.25, my best only QSc and $1,10. Other merchants boast of men’s suits at $5.00 to $10.00,

my best only $3 to 7.50 ^@=*1 want your eggs.

Millan, late of the News’ staff, who left a short time ago for Denver, Col., for the benefit of his health, we learn that he ex- pects to arrive home during the latter part of this week or the early part of next week, as the change of climate did not have the desired effect on bis health.

GALA DAY AT MARTINTOWN Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather

the Sons of Scotland picnic at Martintown, was well attended, and Camp St. Mungo, under whose auspices it was held, are to be congratulated on the success that attended their efforts. Pipers Fraser and Suther- land, of Montreal, added much to tbe day’s enjoyment by the rendition of choice music. As St. Mungo was the only camp represented by a tug-of-war team, there was no contest for the McLennan cup, but to complete the programme, an impromptu pull was arranged among the visitors and proved quite exciting.

The Convent of tbe Holy Cross, Alexan- dria, was the scene of a very pleasing function on the evening of the 19th inst., when the following address was presented to the Sisters by the Trustees of the Separate School in presence of His Lord- ship Bishop Macdonell. Dr. D. D. Mc- Donald read the address on behalf of the Board. By request of the Sister Superior, Bishop Macdonell thanked the gentlemen trustees on behalf of the Bisters *for their kind address. His Lordship spoke in the most eulogistic terms of the educationai work done by the recipients of the address, notwithstanding tke many difficulties en- countered by them.

The Sister Superior, in a few well chosen words, also returned thanks for the kind sentiments expressed in the address :

To tke Reverend, the Sister Superior of the Convent of the Holy Cross, Alexandria, Ont.

RKVEREND AND DEAR SISTER,—W’e, the undersigned Trustees of the Alexandria Separate School desire to avail ourselves of the opportunity afforded us by the visit of tbe Board,at the conclusion of the Summer Term, to express our sense of the obliga- tion under which the present Teaching Staff of the Convent haS placed all who are interested in the cause of education in this section. Our visit and the careful inspec- tion which it was, alike, our duty and our pleasure to make, satisfied us that every- thing connected with the institution under your charge is, and has been, conducted in a manner calculated to promote, in the highest degree, the educational advance- ment and moral well being of - the many children committed to your charge.

With the limited funds at the disposal of the Trustees, and cramped as you must necessarily be, by the somewhat meagre financial assistance which it is in our power to render you, we feel that you have in a singular manner continued that eco- nomy, which is imperative, with ef^ciency, the most praiseworthy, and productive of results the most gratifying to us and com- mendable to you.

Wo cannot but be sensible of the many advantages afforded by your institution to the people of this section, over other scho- lastic establishments. The moral and religious training given to the children under your charge, forms one of tbe most gratifying and beneficent features attached to that conventual life to which you have all dedicated your lives, abilities, and energies.

We were highly delighted with the de- oiphne which, prevaded the whole atmo- sphere of the Convent, and which cannot but be of inestimable benefit to your pupils, not only in the present but in their after life, when they will look back with feeliogs of gratitude and satisfaction to the days of their childhood when there were inculcated, in fruitful season, those proper ideas of method, order, propriety, and decornai which should constitute the ground work of well regulated minds.

Where all was found so admirable it may not, perhaps, be invidious to make special mention of Sister St. Elmira who has charge of the Junior First Class and of SisterSt. Jamewho shareawith her her heavy responsibilities. To the untiring efforts of those two estimable ladies is attributable tbe success of the plan, proposed by the present Trustees, having for its end tbe remodelling of the class, which in size had become so nnwieldly as to become entirely beyond the control of- any one Teacher, however able and zealous, and who was also handicapped by the fact that many of the French children had to bo taught as well tbe rudiments of the English language. The tender age of the children and tbe overcrowded condition of the class room added to the difficulties with which the teacher had formerly to contend. We still realize, too, that with over sixty pupils in one class room and fifty in the other, the teachers have yet great difficulties with which to cope in that respect. Sister St. Agatha’s class who take the Second Part of the First Book have made most satisfactory progress, and her pupils have the advantage of her excellent sense, her tact, and her urbanity. The same remark applies to those in the Second and Junior Third Classes under SistorMary of Loretto, while the more advanced pupils who are preparing for the High School Examina- tions, under Sister St. James, give evidence of tbe high scholarly attainments which characterize their Teacher, and which she, so successfully, imparts to those under her tuition.

In conclusion may we be allowed to ex- press the earnest hope that the Reverend Authorities of the Mother House may see their way to permitting us to have, during the coming year, a continuance of those benefits and advantages, which have been derived during the one now closing, from the present excellent Staff, who will, we trust, return to us with energies renewed, and with health recuperated by the rest, and holiday, which they so richly deserve.

LITTLE JOHN McANDBEW

.^'jL The substance of this tale is voncbed for . ' as being trae by worthy and veracions men,

who say that John MoAndrew lived one bandred and twenty years ago near 1> , in the parish of G , in Strathspey—he was a little man contemptible in every way, in appearance—more fit to be left at home to herd cows and colves, than to be sent to the wars. Nevertheless his body contained the heart of a hero, stirred ap

/’"by an heroic spiri), and no sach a peerless ; bowman at the biginning of the oonflict,

ever drew an arrow with a string. Each brave aohievement wbiob he did, is told with great wonder, when his poor physique is taken into accoaot. It has been said that he ooald shoot a dozen arrows one

.^....After the other, transfixing the heads of each into thè bow end of its predecessor. He came one day past a crowd who were

^^raoticing archery in Stratherin. Some of ^them asked the little lad if he would try a

shot with an arrow, and with little coax- ing, he consented. He struck the first near the middle of the target and on the second trial placed the arrow exactly in the centre. They began to be sarprised and 00 their praising him, be said that they coaid do better than that in Strathspey,

then went ~aod planted a Willow rod on hill a good way off. He shot and split it

with the first arrow. ^ji^Be was very domestic in his habits and

thlis bat seldom was occupied with this |-.^.^orkia Stratherin. At one time when

^08 employed at the chief's house, a host- ile party arrived in the night. These were the Bosses of in Strath nathroinn, l^kiog for the spoils taken from them by e|bief A in Locbaber who was jast happily married. The chief and hie party left with the Bosses, and little John Mo- Anlrew with them as one of themselves. They wont forwardJiastily bat with cau- tion, till they cao* O , above Strath- erinn. They ai^t in a shepherd’s hut. la this Chief A and his

--^mpany ^ .. r talking to each o»er without saspicion or fear of danger. At time John McAndrew was at the baaj^f the company.

He posted him&elf immediately in front of the door of the hat. The night was very

' dark—which gave advantage to those who wereoatsids and mach against the others on. aoooant of the light of the fire, in the hat.

^^^f-hen those inside heard the noise that was oatside being animated by the brave spirit that was in them, rashed to the door to meat the hoetUe party, but none of them reached the threshold without fall-

1 ing one on top the others. John MoAn- I drew’s band was busy enough, and his eye \ on the lookout for the commander of the P%^pany, On bis being reo<^ized by his

dzMS, as soon as he was seen by John, the latter pinned him by an arrow through the

rli

L

breast, to a post that was bobiod him. As soon as the chieftain saw what was done (perhaps to give the Bosses knowledge of what had happened), he cried oot "Saocess for your smartness, John MoAndrew there is peace in D . When John heard these flattering words at such an unseason- able time (knowing that if anv escap- ed, that he would take his John’s name to Locbaber—a result that he would ever after lo in danger)be answered the chief- tain in words which are not easily written.

Not one who were inside escaped bnt one dark bold lad who saw how matters were and passed oat throagh aa opening made in the back part of the hat* Unfortunately for John MoAndrew this person took the news of the disaster and John’s name to Locbaber, aa the party who was compli- mented for bis skill as an archer. 6o John’s lot was, that he hardly got a happy day or night after that.

Comrades—Heartrending Scenes.

Halifax, N.S., June 17. — The catastrophe in connection with the Dom- inion Coal Company’s collieries, of which H. M, Whitney is the head, occurred yes- terday morning at the Caledonia mines, in the principal colliery, by an explosion of fire damp. About tfO miners were im- prlsonetL Of this number, It is supposed about half escaped by running along an- other passage. Of the remainder, it Is believed all perished.

At 10 o’clock 10 dead bodies had been recovered. The names of those recovered

■i Thomas Johnston, brother of John Johnston, assistant manager of the Dom- inion Goal Company; Neil McDonald of Pictou, John Doyle, sr., and John Doyle, jr., father and son; Stephen McCormick of Sydney mines. Alex. McDonald of Cape North, Williiun Simpson, Malcolm MoAuley, two Gillies, men, father and son. Donald Martin’s body had not been recovered, and there are others missing.

TIeurtrandIng The scenes at the month of the pit

whore the bodies are being brought up are heartrending in the extreme. One hundred volunteers went down into the mine to fight the fire raging and to resone the bodies of their companions. The bravo men were led by the chief officials of the collieries.

It appears that a slight explosion occurred about 8.80 yesterday morning. Manager Brown and Underground Man- ager Thomas Johnston went down to in- vestigate, and about an hour later a ter- rific explosion followed. Johnston was among the killed, and Brown was brought up unconscious, but will likely recover.

The fiirst explosion took place at 8.66. This was followed by another at 5 o’clock. Every, effort is being made to extinguish the fire, hut without success up to the present. The volunteers who were in the pit all had to come to the surface, being unable to get near the fire for smoke and

Caledonia is a part of Glace Bay. It is the principal colliery in the Dominion and averages 2,500 tons per day.

Senator MoKeon formerly owned this mine, and sold it to the Dominion Coal Company. It is equipped with the most modern machinery made.f The air com- pressor Is the largest in Canada. Five hundred and fifty men and boys are em- ployed on the day shift, and 160 at night.

Men have returned to the mine, and are now pumping in water.

Water Hue Iteached Flames.

Halifax, June 10.—Tho conditions at Caledonia collory, which was set on fire by Friday’s explosion, were reported to bS more favorable yesterday. Water has been piimpcd-into the pit almost contin- uousiy, and steam is now issuing from the shaft, showing that the water has reached the flames.

Tho ten bodies of the victims of the disaster were burled yesterday. The on- tiro population of the town and sur- rounding country turned out to attend the funeral, which made a sad and Im- pressive spectacle, weeping women and children and sorrowing men congregating about the graves, where touching refer- ence.s to the tragedy were made by the officiating clei^.

Numerous telegrams of condolence have been roceivod, among them being messages from Her Majesty the Queen, Colon^ Secretary Chamberlain, Hon. W. S. Fielding (Mini.ster of Finance) and Sir Charles Tapper, in whose county the disaster occurred.

Ottawa, June 12.—To-day’s session of the House was not unlike a meeting of the Toronto City Council a couple of years ago. The two rival Geoi^ian Bay ship canals were given an airing, the To- ronto scheme being championed by Mr, N. Clarke Wallace, and the Ottawa River project by Mr. Belcourt and Mr. Klock. Dr. Sproule’s resolntlon in favor of a bounty on beet sugar was defeated after an interesting debate. The supple- mentary estimates, amounting to $3,- 647,638, were brought down by Mr. Fielding.

Company were given third readings and passed, the Government majority upon the vote being 61. An amendment by Mr. Foster, providing that no change should be made in the agreement without the consent of Parliament, was declared lost on division. The Minister of Finance Introduced his resolutions containing the iron bounties and providing for their gradual extinction, which was received with general approbation by the Opposi- tion and was reported by the committee

■of the whole. Ottawa. June 14.—Good progress was

made with the supplementEuy estimates to-day, a numb^ of items being passed in supply. The postal service to the Yukon, the enforcement of quaran- tine, the disposition of animals affected with tuberculosis and the Improvement of the navigation in the St. Lawrence were the topics of discussion. Consider- able opposition to the Niagara, St. Cath- arines & Toronto Railway Company’s bill was developod on the motion to go

flrfeF>i-')to committee, and the motion was talked out. Before going into supply Mr. Mulock read a letter from Mr. McLaugh- lin, giving a denial to the charges made against him In the House a few days ago by Colonel Hughes, in connection with claims made by his clients against the Government for compenràtion owing to the flooding of their lands. Colonel Hughes followed with a reiteration of the charges.

Ottawa, June 15. — On .the open- ing ot the House to-day Hon. Mr. Mulock introduced a bill to amend the Postoffice Act, and in doing so explained that one of the changes was that “sam- ple" copies of ncw.spaper.s for non- subscribers, which now pay le per pound, will pay the same rate as Is charged on papers mailed to subscribers, and may contain circulars and accounts, such as may now be sent to subscribers. Another change is that railway mall superintendents may be appointed from clerks who have served in the railway mall service for ten years, “either on the road or In the office," insle.K] of “on the road," as at present. ProvLI. n is made for charging a small fee for 1/spatching letters after tho regular ho-: ,>»r closing the mail, and for Issuing tegj.-iuicd letters up to $25 value at a rate which will be ju.st sufficient to protect the department from loss. The hill was read a first time. The balance of the day. until 18.20 p.m., was spent in committee of supply on the supplementary estimates.

Ottawa, June 16.—There was nothing up In the House to-day, with the excep- tion of a short while in supply, except tho redistribution bill, which Mr. Mu- look, in a lengthy explanatory speech, moved tho second reading of. Sir Charles Tuppé^r and Mr. Patorson continued the debate, the House adjourning at 13.88

GLOOMY OUTLOOK IN RUSSIA

Famta* Prospects Worse Than Kver Owlnc to Falluie of Crniis.

London, June 19.—The hopes that the famine prevailing in seven or eight prov- inces of Russia, with a population of more than 11,000,000, would be amelior- ated by the new crops within a couple of months, are now dashed to the ground, as it is officially admitted the harvest is practically a failure. Owing to the pro- tracted ^ngbt the crops have scorched, and in large areas In the south they are not worth the cost of reaping, while the cold in the northern provinces lias been almost equally damaging. The whole situation promises to end In appal- ling disaster.

correspondent of the well-inforracd Kreuz Zeltung claims an internal crisis is about approaching in Russia. He says that the Russian labor troubles at Riga, the disturbances of the students, and the famine in various provinces are symp- toms of the coming of greater trouble.

The paper adds that it has reliable in- formation enabling it to say that perfect demoralization prevails in the upper Gov- ernment circles of Russia, owing to the opposing influences of the Czar on one side and his mother on the other.

THE OBB3IAN TARIFF.

Freeeediags In German Reichstag la* terest Canadians JasC New.

Berlin, June 19.—Baron Heyl Zu Remsbolm, National Liberal, has given notice of his intention to introduce the following amendment to tho Anglo- German commercial treaty bill:

“The most favored nation treatment shall apply only to those parts of tho British Empire which grant to the sub- jects and products of Germany tho same advantages as are granted to the subjects and products of the most favored nation."

The Reichstag discussed tho proposed modifleation of the tariff of 1879. by which ad valorem duties will be levied upon imports from countries where Ger- man goods pay ad valorem instead of tariff duties. The modification also pro- vides that dutiable goods from oountrles where Germany does not receive the most favored nation treatment shall be sub- jected to an additional duty np to 20 per cent., and goods on the froe list up to 40 par cent.

0«JUST DRAQOINQ AROUND.»* How many thousands

of women understand the sad and pitiful meaning of that simple nhrflse- “Justdraggmg

around. ’ ' Women every- wherc who feel that they have a work and a mission of woman- hood to ac- complish in

this world will ap- preciate instantly the dislieartened

spirit of Mrs. Mattie Venhans, of Tioga,

Hancock County, Illinois. **I had been tick for seven years,” she says;

"not in bed, but just dragging myself around. At last I took three bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription and five of ‘Golden Medical Discovery,' and it Is imfouibU U d«scrih4 in words the good these medicines did me. My husband says ‘ Golden Medical Discovery ' is the best medicine he ever tried for a cough. No praise is too high for Dr. Fierce's medicines.”

Another lady, Mrs. R. P. Monfort, of Lebanon, Warren Co., Ohio, says, "1 think Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical IMscovery the finest medicine •n record. 1 have taken a number of bottles and It is the only medicine that relieved my terrible headaches."

Women who suffer should write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y. He will send them the best professional advice that can be bad anywhere in America and entirely without cnarge. Neither the “ Goldea Medical Discovery " nor the “ Favorite Prescription " contaias any alcohol to in- ebriate or create a morbid craving for stimulants.

Every woman should own a copy of his splendid book “The Common Sense Medi- cal Adviser." It is the grandest medical book for popular reading ever written. It contains a fund of knowledge of precious value to women. It has over a thousand- f>ages elaborately illustrated with engrav- ngs and colored plates. The first great

edition of more than half-a-million copies was sold at $1. jo each. 'The profit from this induced Dr. Pierce to carry out his cher- ished intention of issuing a free edition one copy of which in paper-covers will be sent for the bare cost of customs and mailinz, ti one-cent stamps ; or a heavier, clou- bound copy for 50 stamps.
