R. G. Dun & Coes review of trade in
the United, Stet( s for the pest week is as
follows:. The complete success of the
Government Men and the replenishment
of the gold reserve have not perceptibly

vance of foreign esehange near to the

There were 86 failures in the Dominion
last week, as against 81 the previous
week,ad48 the same week A year ago.
Ontario had 16, the same number as the
week before, none of which were of any
importance,' and tho liabilities consider-
ably less than those of last 'eek. Qua -
bee had 14, an increase of 6; Nova rico
-
tie 1, New Brunswick 2, Manitoba. 2, and
British Colurabia 1. Plince Edward
Island had none.
Latest returns are inore favorable to
Canadian railways, and the net inorease
iIL October earnings of C,P.R. is a sur-
prise to many holders of the stock. The
gross earnings for that month were
190,968, and. the net 81,010,248, or an in-
crease of $68,821 as compared with net
earnings of uctober, 1898. For the past
ten months the net earnings are 85,019,-
208, or a decrease of $1,228998. The late
economies practised by the management
will matt rially improve the net reeult for
the year. The earnings of the Grand
Trunk for the week ended Novem.ber 21
show a decrease of only $8,854.
A better trade is reported. at Toronto
in winter goods this week. The more
seasonable weather is yrobably the rea-
son for the increased demand, but gene-
rally trade is not so satisfactory as mer-
chants could. wish. A great deal of cau-
tion is displayed., and purchases are made
only from hand to mouth. Dealers in
holiday goods report an increasing de-
mand. Stocks of this class of goods are
large and the assortment e varied. In
groceries the trade of the week has been
light. Sugars rather dull, but sales of
dried frarfs and nuts have improved..
The exporters of apples have suffered
losses of late, sales in Liverpool being
made at ruinous prices. Prop T care in
packing is the real cause. The stock de-
teriorated. greatly en route.
Cotton reached 6 cents last Saturday,
and has reached. three -sixteenths after a
-week of heavy speculation. Wheat is la
cents higher than a week ago, and west-
ern receipts still exceel last year's,
amounting since July I to 108,500,000
bushels, against 100,800,000 last year,
while exports from all ports have been
about 21,C00,000 bushels smaller. The
smaller quantities reeeived last year paii
more debts by about $8,000,000 than the
large quantity this year, and of which
the sellieecfor the first time bele .v 60
cents justafter a harvest ma.y naturally

has a,dvane 4 a fraction, receipts being
larger than a year ago, and, on the whole
the outaome for farmers has net so im-
proved as bo promise larger buying by
the West and South. The great indus-
tries fairly maintaiu the production pre
viously reported, but cannot be expected
to increase at this season.

One of the most interesting facts eon-

of the Province the snake fame is rapid-

Tbe authorities over in the United
States won't allow the man who knows
how to resuscitate l• electrocuted" mur-
derers to work his will upon the bodies.
The refusal is eertainly consistent with
the prbaciple of capital punishment.
Should resuscitation peeve a success, the
death penalty would of course become
quite popular for the most trivial of-
fences. And then the sentimental ladies
would be giving thsir bouquets only in
imprisonment for life cases. Just see

THE FOOLED FOOLED.
An °malts Girl Who Was Frightening
Dor Parents Was Herself Frighten-
ed by a Sick Spell.
The other day an Omaha girl who had
misbehaved thought she would frighten
her parent. So she simulated an uneon-
scions condition. which, to the eyes of
her father and mother, indicated a near
approach to death. When Dr. Towne
was called in the middle of the night he
administered a stimulant but it appeared
to have no effect.
Somewhat puzzled by the queer symp-
toms of the case, he questioned the rest
of the family, and finally the father re-
luctantly admitted that earlier in the
evening the girl,had manifested a vigor-
ous disposition to set aside the parental
authority, and that authority had been
unheld by virtue of a slipper, which had
been religiously applied in the old-fash-
ioned way.
This afforded the physician a pointer,
and he soon tumbled. to the real state of
affairs. Somewhat nettled at having his
rest broken on account of a girl who had
determined to get even for a paddling by
frightening her parents into belief that
she hart gone into a mortal syncope, he
concluded to get a little eveneand cure
the patient at the same time.
Assuming the most grave anxiety he
made another examination of the patient
and assured the trembling father that
her conclieion was indeed. serious and
nothing latatheroic measures could afford
relief. Watching the girl's face closely
while he spoke he noticed a momentary
expression of surprise, which was not
noted by the family, and was confirmed
by his diagnosis of the case. As a pre-
liminary measure he ordered a tub of
hot water, in. which the feet of the pat-
ient were placed. He saw that the liquid
was about as hot as any mortal could
stand, but the girl was game and be-
yond. a slight start as the hot water
touched her skin she retained her sem-
blance of unconsciousness.
The physician shook his head and de-
cided that more decided methods must be
employed. There was evidently a seri-
ous condition of the boa -els which neces-
sitated the use of the knife. The in-
testines would have to be removed piece-
meal, scraped, cleansed, and theu put
baek again. Still the patient held her
ground, but a close observer could see
that one eye was slightly opened enough
so she could observe the surgeou as he
opened his instrument case and laid out
half a dozen of the most formidable
weapons at his command. Picking -up a
huge dissecting knife he advanced. to-
ward the patient, but this was more than
she could stand. With a yell that could
be hearci for two blocks she sprang from
the lounge on which she had been lying
and grabbing a chair she stood. at bay in
the further corner of the room, one of
the most lively corpses that ever escaped
the cooling board.
This gaye the game away, and after an
apology to the physician foa his unneces-
sary trouble the slipper was once more
called into requisition, and the young
woman will get even next time in some
other -way,

TORONTO SCANDAL.
As investigation proceeds with the al-
dermanie boodle charges at Toronto it
becomes evident that the amount of
boodling and rascality was greater than
could be thought possible. Already dam-
agingevidence has forced three aldermen
to resign, and the evidence later on in
the week put two others in bad positions.
Evidence went to show that Alderman
Bailey had received $800 for his vote in
favor of the Kely-Everett street railway
syndicate in. 1891, while Alderman. Gow-
anlock was said to have got $700. Coun-
sel for prosecution sprang a surprise by
reading a document in which Aldermen
Hall and Hewitt undertook, in consider-
ation of $1,000, to reveal. to !he Edison
Electric Company figures of the first ten-
der submitted to the Toronto Railway
Company for its suPply of electric mot-
ors, in order to afford the Edison com-
pany an opportunety of submitting a
second tender in which they could put
in figures that would be lower than
those of other tenders. Ex -Alderman
Hall, who was a -witness' admitted the
transaction, but claimedhe was not an
alderman at the time. He got about $2,-
000 as his share. The end is not yet.
Other surprises are in store, so the prose-
cution leads up to believe.

By Rail to Jerusalem.
It is positively startling to think that
one can now go up from Joppa to Jerusa-
lem by rail ab a cost of 51, but such is i
the fact. This first railroad n Palestine
was recently opened with much Moslem
ceremony, which included the sacrifice
of three sheep on the platform of the sta-
tion as a kind. of propitiatory offering.
This shows the difference between. Mo-
hammedan and Araeriean railroad meth-
ods, for in this country, though we occa-
sionally saerifice sheep and cows and
horses and even human beings, we do not
do it on the platform of the station, but
on a "grade crossing," and then, when
it is done, we—that is to say, the rail-
roa& company—declare that we did not
mean to do it, and we ask the farmer
how much he will take to settle for the
loss of his sheep or his cow, or what com-
pensation the poor widow will accept for
the loss of the husband, father, bread-
winner, whom we have sacrificed ou the
grade crossing. Tb.e Jerusalem and
Jaffa Railroad is only fifty-three miles
long, and the time made on it between
the two cities is three hours and. a quar-
ter, which is less than seventeen miles
an hour. The fares are $2.50 for the
first class and $1 for the second class.
Between Jaffa (the modern spelling for
Joppa) an.d jeruseleril there are five sta-
tions. The terminus at the latter place
is really one mile outside, the city, and
the cost of the land on which the station
stands is a striking evidence of the influ-
ence of a railroad in raising values.
Thirty years ago this land was sold at

that a Winnipeggentleman had passed
through an experience as remarkable as
any of those published, and. inquiry into.
the matter revealed the fact that several
prominent citizens of Winnipeg had been
greatly benefitted by the use of Dr.
eVilliams' Pink Pills. One of these citi-
zens is Mr. W. A. Charlesworth, the well
known contractor, who, during bis resi-
dence in. 'Winnipeg, has added to ths
beauty and wealth of the Prairie Capital
by erecting some of its enest and most.
substantial buildings. Naturally what.
Mr. Charlesworth would say as to the
merits of a medical preparation would be
read with interest by the many citizens,
who have met him itt business and
socially, an.d a Tribune reporter was de-
tailed to got from him some particu-
lars in the matter. Mr. Charlesworth,
was seen at his beautiful and cosy borne
on William street a few days since, and
while unwilling to attract publicity, yet,
for the benefit of those suffering as he.
once was, he consented to give a simple
statement of his case. About thirteen
years ago, while living in the southern.
part of Illinois, near Cairo, he had. sev-
eral attacks of malarial fever and ague,
which left his blood poor and thin, and,
so deranged his system that for about ten,
years after he was a sufferer from
chronic indigestion. Be came nortb.
after residing there for some years, in.
order to try to shake off the effects of
the malaria, but without much success..
He had not had, while 131 the north, an-
other real attack of ague, but every sea-,
son he has had incipient attaaks, which
were only warded off by the prompt use
of quinine. Bilious fever also threatened
in. the same way. He also suffered
severely from indigestion. Determining'
to make a decided effort to 6oat rid of his
complication of disorders, he bege.n itt
the fall of 1891 to use Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, the advertisement of which.
he had. read in the newspapers. Mr.
Charlesworth began to use the pills in
October, and for the first month scarcely
felt any improvement. However,from
that time on improvement was rapid and
the effect marvellous. The cold of the
winter of 1891-2, as will be reraembered,.
was intense, and yet so great was the
toning up of the system and the enrich
ment of the blood, that he scarcely felt,
the cold at all that winter. His indiges-
tion was removed, and since that tame
he has not had another atteck of malaria..
fever. He continued taking the pills up.
Ito about the middle of jeemary. itt
closing his interview, Mr, Charlesworth
said: a. However, do not rely neon nay
authority alone, but see Mr. Fairchild.„
who has used the pills."
The Mr. Fairchild, it is needless to,
say, is Mr. Frank Fairchild, the largest
dealer in vehicles and farm machinery isa
western Canada. Mr. Fairchild's name
is too well known to readers of the,
Tribune to need any further introduc-
tion. Ile was also seen and. fully con-
firmed what Mr. Ob.arlesworth said..
Some time ago Mr. Fairchild suffered:
from nervous prostration brought ott by -
overwork, and sufferecl also from a dull
palri in the back of the head. After,
spending some time at a famous Chicago
sanitarannehe was advised to take some-
thing to lotild up his blood, the doctors.
mentioning Pink Pills isa their list of
things advised. At first he took it fluid:
preparation, but as he fcren.a this un-
handy to take with him as he travelled, ,
he decided to try Pink Pills. as Mr.
Charlesworth had very strongly reeom- 411
mended theta. Ile found great ben.efit
mot e their use and continued taking -
them until restored to health. He has
no hesitetion an reeommending them as a
great builder up and parifiar of the
