British markets by supplying dairy

despatch from Ottawa states that
the Cabinet Ceuncil on Saturday last the
subject a the Premiership was talked
over and Council was unanimous in the
opinion that Sir John Abbott should not
think of rcesigning on the ground 'of ill -
health utitil he has tried whether tem-
porary tessetion a labor and a trip to
'England would not completely restore
wit": thet Sir Jelin hag agreed
to this. It WAS also stated that in the
event of the trip to England not having
the beneficial effect which it is hoped it
will, and Sir John Abbott should unfor-
tunately bo compelled to retire on
account of ill -health, Council would
un snimously support Sir John Thomp-
son es Premier, with Mr. W. R. Mere-
dith in the Cabinet as Minister of
Juatice.

Tim Knights of Labor are becoming
agitators. At the recent Canadian Labor
Congress held at Toronto, a French-
Cenadian delegate moved a resolution in
favor of ;Canadian Independence. Mr.
A. r. Jury, a iv, ',unwri Gritsturnper,
moved an amendment urging that in
view of the uncertainty as to what
Canada's future is to be, the Canadian
Parliament he petitioned to submit to
a vote of the people the following prop-
ositions • Remain as we are; Imperial
Federation; Canadian independence;
Political Cnion with the States. Mr.
Jury declared himself in favor of what
he termed Political Union. .ETis amend-
ment was carried. This appears to be
playing into the hands of the Annexe-
tionists with a vengeance, as it is stated
that the Continental Union Club of
Ontario was formed for tee purpose of
having these questions submitted to
popular vote. It is surprising that the
workingmen should fall into the 'trap so
cunningly prepared for them by the
French .Canadian and Mr. Jury.

There has been a short hay crop in
Europe, and according to the London
(England) Agricultural Gazette the pas-
tures are bare in England,and also there
is a large deficiency in the hay crop,and
to such an extent that farmers in many
districts will be heavy sufferers by the
small yield of hay, as large numbers
have only sufficient for their own use,
and will not be able to avail themselves
of the advantage ofhigh prices,havingno
surplus to eell. There is consequently
a good demand for Canadian hay in
England at profitatio prices, but unfor-
tunately the export movement is serious
ly impeded through want of freight room
on steamers. The Ontario hay crop has
been one of the largest for years and the
country at the present time, at least in
this district,is full of hay. This is evid-
enced from the fact that good hay at the
present time is only selling from $7 to
$7.60 per ton. If the British demand
is so great, aid such a profitable market
an bfoun 1 thcre, it iS safe ',onclude
that her' will not long remain at the
present' prices in the Ontario markets.

THROUGHOUT EUROPE.

Side of the Ocean—Centldeace Iteetored
In Efarnburg—nto New Casea in New
York,
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—The following is
the cholera situation in Europe to -day as
gathered from a large number of cablegrams
received this evening; At and about Paris
yesterday there were 50 fresh eases and 13
deaths, at Havre 6 new cases and 3 deaths,
at St. Petersburg 41 casea and 13 deaths.
The disease seems to be steadily decreasing
throughout Russia. Berlin had auother
case yesterday, that of a waiter who had
formerly been employed as attendant in a
Hamburg hospital. At Hamburg there
were 286 fresh cases and 127 deaths re-
ported yesterday, These figures, however,
include 90 fresh cases and 45 deaths -which
took place on previous days, thus show-
ing a decrease both in the ntunber of
patients and the mortality. No demands
evere made on the Hamburg authorities
to -day for the transportation of the
bodies of victims to the mortuary until a
late hoar. A fact showing the return of
confidence on the part of the people ie thet
the usual concerts were given in the St.
Paul biergarten this afternoon for the first
time in several weeks. Other public con-
certs will be resumed to.night. The steam.
ship Servia, which 4z:died from Queenstown
for New York to -day, carried 380 saloon
and 224 eecond cabin passengers. Iler
steerage was empty. The Arizona also
sailed with empty steerage, She bad 187
saloon and 296 second cabin passengers on
board. The Queenstown authorities an-
nounee that heneeforth, until all danger of
cholera infection has ceased, a doctor will
board all the American liners arriving at
Queenstown from ports in the United States,
and that if any sickness is found on a steam-
er, the vessel muse he placed in quarantine
before any of the pasengers are allowed to
disembark, otherwise the steamer must pro.
ceed direct for Liverpool, only commune.

Since the first outbreak of eholera in
Hamburg, 14,894 cases and 6,206 deethe
have been reported, The epidemic has en-
tirely died out in the harbor quarter. Ar-
tesian wells are being sunk in the city and
in the suburbs, and a supply of pure water
is expected in a few deem. A public kitchen
for the relief of the poor, and to furnish
them with properly cooked food, has been
erected in the Henze platz.
The New York Board of Health has ism -
lid a bulletin to -day in which it was stated
rat no cases or suspected cases of chola

THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY.
Ontario Celebrates the Centennial of rar-
rialueotary tiovernment.
Just one hundred years ago Governor
Simon opened the first Parliament of Upper
Canada. The event has not been forgotten.
It was celebrated on Saturday in a truly
noble style. Representatives from every
part of the province were in Toronto at the
Invitation of the committee having the mat-
ter in charge,
The celebration began at 2 o'clock. Very
shortly after that time the procession left
the old Parlitunent Buildings :---
ORDER Or PROCESSION,
The Army and Navy 'Veterans, headed by their band.

When they arrived at the park they
found a detachment from "0" school that
formed the guard of honor to Lieutenant.,
Governor Kirkpatrick. It was accompan-
ied by its own band and was under the
command of Colonel Otter.
Shortly afterwards the Licutena,nt-Gov-
ernor arrived. The guard of honor lined
out and received him. The Grenadiers'
band playecl a few bars of "God Save the
Queen" but were drowned by the sweet and
clear voices of 1,500 school children gathered
together in a little space roped off 'for their
accommodation.
Then the speakers who were to entertain
and instruct mounted the platform just in
front of the Parliament buildings. It was
a temporary one, of eourse, but was orna-
mented very neatly with bunting, and
Union Jacks were plentifully draped about,
Mr. Thomas Ballantyne, Speaker of the
Ontario Legislature, offered up prayer.
Lieutenant -Governor Kirkpatrick then
spoke. In eloquent words he referred to
the advancement of the country. During
the hundred years that have elapsed since
the first Parliament was opened we have
grown in population and prosperity, and it
is only reasonable to suppose that the
growth will continue into years to come.
Mr. Kirkpatrick was frequently applauded
during his short but interesting speech.
The children then sang "The Maple
Leaf." They wore green leaves about their
heads as they rang out the chorus, and the
scene looked like a fretted grove.
Mr. Thomas Ballantyne was the next
speaker. Ile was followed by Ilion.
J. M. Gibson, Hon. R. Harcourt, Mr. C. F.
Marter, M.P.P., Mr. W. McCleary, leLP.P.,
and Rev. Dr. Scadding.
Iifterspersed with the singing were chor-
uses by the children.
After all this was over Hon. C. F. Frazer
in a neat speech declared the mew Parlia-
ment buildings formally opened and ex-
tender' a formal invitation to the public to
inspect what should be and is the pride of
the province.
Many conventions were held in

to suffering humanity. It is fast taking the

It is a well known fact that medical scieMce
has utterly failed to afford relief in rheumatic
cases. We venture the assertion that although
Electricity has only been in use as a remedial
agent for a few years, it has cured mare cases
of. Rheumatism than all other means ,com-
billed. Some of our leading physicians, fecor
niding this fact, are availing themselves of this
most potent of nature's forces. • .
TO RESTORE MANHOOD
Thousands of people suffer from a variety of .1.
nervous diseases, such as Seminal WeakneSs,
Impotency, Lost Manhood, Weak Back, eta.,
that the old modes of treatment fail to cure.
There is a loss of nerve force er power that
cannot be restored by medical treatment, and
any doctor who would try to accomplish this
by any kind of drugs is practising a dangerous,
form of charlatanism. Properly treated
THESE DISEASES CAN BE CUBED
Electricity, as applied by the Owen Electric.
Belt and Suspensory, wilt most assuredly de
so. It is the only known remedial agent that,
will supply what is lacking, namely, nerve
force or power, impart tone and vigor to the
organs and arouse to healthy action the whole
nervous system.

Belts advertised by some concerns and peddled
