Paris, April 6.—Paris has worked itself ?sr,a pitch of great excitement during the tetweek over the terrible forebodings of .;.w prophetess, who is a complete ex - tion to the rule about the dishonor of Th, kind in their own country. She is tv. Conesdon, who modestly assumes ails, role of mouthpiece of the Angel 41e2oriel to the French nation and the erx-d. Her interesting message is the ' rsaonncement of au immediate war rah will result in the complete humili- ;aen. of both France and England. The affiespapers are full of accounts of the aarrutg woman's words and doings. aarIasts, doctors, and psychological in - ea. igators wait upon her in hourly cele - ions. The street where she lives, ap- giz•apsiately enough the Rue Paradis, is °irks"eked by a mob of superstitious believ- es from morning till midnight. The ,o sic disturbance has become so great ";Pit the police notified her yesterday that &teeniestchange her quarters. The most markable thing about her is that, like ^R'a's;bherSehlatter, she refuses to accept a ,aany for making use of her alleged ae.„zernatural powers. BOILER EXPLOSION.

Trains Snowbound --The Holland Murder Proposed New Cavalry Corps for M'ani- toba--1 arliani ntary Candidates—E.ieyitle a auufacturing----Wheat Shipments De. crease. Winnipeg, April 3. -No train from the east over the Canadian Pacific railway has arrived here in three days. They are snowbound at White RiverIt is said none will reach here before Sunday. The remains of Hannah Hatton, mur- dered at Holland, were interred to -day. There is uo clue to the murderer yet. Superintendent Moffat, of the North- west Police, came up for trial at Prince Albert on the charge of opening letters of officers under arrest. The hearing has been postponed for two weeks for the pur- pose of consulting with the Department of Justice at Ottawa. Senator Desjardins, when questioned during his visit in Winnipeg re the likeli- hood of the formation of a new corps of cavalry for Manitoba this year, said the matter had been under consideration along with requests from other parts of Canada, and it had been decided,' first of all, to get the existiug corps and battal- ions to the h igheet possible state of efficiency before forming new ones. The department slid not believe in forming new paper battalions, bat rather in seeing that the old ones were all that could be desired. As to holding camps for the Manitoba battalions, Senator Desjardins said these would be held, but he could not state at what points. The purchase of new rifles, etc., must all be considered in the work of the year, so that the depart- ment could expend the funds to the best advantage. Winnipeg, April 5.—It is stated that Mr. Davis, Conservative, of Calgary, will probably stand for re-election in Alberta. Mr. R. Rogers is a likely Conservative candidate for Lisgar. Mr. Jackson, M.P.P., is spoken of as the Liberal candi- date for Lisgar. A local manufacturing firm proposes to manufacture bicycles. Messrs. Gordon and Ironsides send an- other consigument of stock east on Tues- day. Wheat shipments over the all -rail route have diminished to about 25 cars a day. All wheat buyers at country points have been taken oft till after seeding. Wheat deliveries have ceased entirely throughout the province. Mr. Hueter, of Carleton Place, Out., proposes opening up a large training stable for thoroughbred horses here. Mr. Benjamin Wilson, of Hamilton, is bare maktug arrangements to open a broach of the Bunk of Hamilton. Three express trains arrived here to -day from the east. DOINGS IN MONTREAL French Papers. Not Surprised at the Result of the School Conference ---Chinese Smug- gling. Montreal, April 5.—The French press does not express any surprise at the re- sult of the Winnipeg conference; in fact, it expresses the view almost unanimously that the result is only what might have been anticipated. The Monde says that the Dominion Government did everything within its power, and that the Manitoba authorities showed their disinclination to do anything toward a settlement of the dispute. The conference, however, adds the Monde, will not be useless, as the question has been shown up in its true light, and those Catholics who vote against the third reading will not have the slightest excuse co offer to the elec- tagrs. They will have deliberately betrayed the cause of their brethren in {Manitoba, The Presse denounces those Catholic members who are seeking to obstruct the passage of the measure. Recent arrests of Chinese by United States Customs' officials at Canaan, Ver- mont, have had the result of leading the United, States officials on a track which has yielded overwhelming evidence that this kind of smuggliug was of a most ex- tensive and far-reaching character. The arrests also revealed the existence of a regular syndicate, who have be en engaged in the wholesale smuggling of Chinese for more than three years past. Every available route has been made use of by the smugglers at one time or another; but just now the center of operations IS ilk the Eastern Townships. The close proximity of the Eastern Townships counties to the United States, and the many routes and roads crossing the border, make of these counties a regular smugglers' parade, especially so of Stan- stead county. A CRY FOR HELP. Terrible Suffering and Poverty at.1 terasli-- Relief for the Armenians Altogether Inadequate. . New York, April 3.—Spenser Trask, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the national Armenian Relief Committee, received the following cablegram from ]Vs,arash:—There are 12,000 refugees here; 4,000 have died. The problem of how to help sufferers here and in Zeitoun comes upon us wit1c .crushing force. The misery is past human imagination. The people suffer from cold, famine and smallpox. we ate using i500 a week for food, clothing and bedding, and it is barely inside starv- ation: rates. Cannot more be sent? Do those who contribute wish us to continue giving at such a low rate? The medicines of the city are exhausted, and we have sent for more to Aintab. We forward de- tailed reports of all moneys used. To- morrow we cutdown one-half on our help for lack of funds. Thousands of pounds are needed to save these people from a miserable death. When will it come? New York Under the Raines Law. r: PTew:fork, April 5.—To-day New York- ers `raid the first taste of Sunday under the Raines law. It was apparent all over the city that the saloon -keepers had made up their minds to take no chances under the existing condition of affairs, for there was no attempt to evade the provisions of the. law, and no violations were reported at police headquarters. On every street the interiors of the drinking places were ex. posed to full view from the street, for the Minds and curtains were so arranged as to give a clear prospect of what was going on inside. The saloons were in almost every instance deserted even ,by the pro- prietors, who, with their bartenders, were taking a genuine day off from 'their labors, which formerly lasted the sefeli' days of the week, despite the Sunday law.' Reports had it that the' up -town hotels were, profiting largely by the changed order of 'things,, and the most of them were doing a rushing, though legitimate, business.None of them sold liquor over thebars,bat the majority, '`n b ina� rt y„ peci< Lli those which have` bar 'in their cafes, dispensed ss1 eased ]liquor to waiters,.' who carried it in turn to'gnests'wlio were eating meals, more or less' meager, at the tables.

The early spring days with rapid changes from warmth to frost, from clear, dry weather to chilly rains and piercing dampness, is the time when the weak, the shattered and brokendown, the sleepless, the nervous, the rheumatic, the neuralgic suffer most—the time when all blood diseases are rampart, and most effectually do their work.

Instst upon being supplied with Paine's Celery Compound, the medicine that has made so many wonderful cures in Canada, and which the newspapers have reported so ful- ly. Around About Us.

St, Marys: Robert Northgraves, son of Thomas Northgraves, South Ward, happened with a painful accident on Saturday afternoon at the Maxwell Works. In stepping backward he stumbled and fell against a pile of disk harrow plates, cutting an ugly gash accross his left wrist. ' St. Marys: James Ross, son of Peter Ross, a brakeman whose home until lately was here, was injured Wednes day afternoon in the G. T. R. yard, Stratford„while coupling cars. Two of his fingers were badly crushed and were amputated at the first joint and part of a third finger had to be taken off. St. Marys: While Mrs,George Lyons, West Ward, was endeavoring to reach something hanging in the wood- shed on Saturday, she slipped from,a barrel on which she was standing, and fell to the ground, receiving serious injuries and narrowly escaped being killed. Her shoulder was dislocated and her head grazed a stovepot, in- flicting a serious gash. McKillop: Mr. Will Kerr, Trinity Medical school, Toronto, and who has just completed his first year's study, hes succeeded in carrying off the first scholarship, valued at $50, for the high est standing in all subjects, and Dr. Sheard's scholarship, valued at $25, for the highest standing in physiology. In securing a hhonors in a large class of students, Mr. Herr has proved him- self to be a clever young man, anda gocd student, Seaforth: The little six year old daughter of. Mr. Chris Sperling had 'a narrow escape from drowning on Sun- day last. The child was playing in front of their residence on Market street, when by some means .it fell into the open drain at the side of the road,' On .account of the melting snow the water in the drain was quite deep and when noticed by her mother the chile was. almost overcome, and would undoubt- edly have been drowned had she not been noticed in time. The oldest man in Kincardine died the other day, in the person of Gorge Rieherdson. Had he lived thirteen months longer he would have been a centenarian. The old gentleman ..re- tained vigor of mind, if not of body until his last illness. Spring Tinto is when nearly everyone feels the need of some blood purifying, strength in- vigorating and health producing med- icine. The real merit of Houd's Sar- saparilla is the reason of its widespread popularity. Its unequalled success is its best recommendation. The whole system is susceptible to the most good from a medicine like Hood's Sarsaparil- la taken at this time, and we would lay special stress upon the time and remedy, for history has it recorded that delays are dangerous. The remark- able success achieved by Hood's Sar- saparilla and the many words of praise it has received, make it wothy of your confidence. We ask you to give this medicine a fair trial. I Writb, hoistman in the Grand Trunk shops, Stratford, had his clothes caught in the machinery by some chance Friday, and before the machine could be stopped he was stripped naked. Luckily he was discovered in time, otherwise he would have met a terrible death. Out of Fashion—Out of the World. No sane malt now wears low shoes and silver buckles, silk stockings and knee breeches. "They are out.” No woman wars Elizabethan skirts or poke bonnets. "They are out." Neither does man or woman who knows "they are out," use old fashioned cough syrups and lung cures. Chemical and medi cal progress, like time, wait for noth- ing. The most highly prized remedies of by gone years are mercilessly cast aside, and superseded by more effective remedies. Pinemalt is in the new way —antigerm, antiseptic, and healing to diseased surfaces, soothing to irritated parts, and promptly relieving sore throat, cough, hoarseness, 1a grppe, and all the distressing symptom caus- ed by ailments of the hroat and chest. Sold by Druggists, Delbert McCall, of Simcoe, aged 24, was nearly killed Tuesday. He was standing on one side of a horse when a friene, who was on the other side, struck the animal with a pitchfork. Mhe head flew off, striking McCall, one of the prongs penetrating several inch- es into his head, just behind the right ear. DISHONEST MEN. They Often Recommend Worth- less Goods to Buyers. There are many dishonest men in business. Their first and last thoughts h is are in the direction of big profis. These dishonest dealers, regardless of the, interests of their customers, seize every opportunity to substitute poor goods when standard and well-known brands are asked for. To a very large extent, these dishon• est dealers try to foiet adulterated and worthless dyes on the public when the celebrated. Diamond Dyes are asked for, Watch such dealers closely, and when you discover any attempt to deceive, by recommending poor, imitation dyes, • leave his store, and go to some other, The Diamond Dyes are retailed at the same' price as the worthless dyes ten cents per package, The Diamond will give you complete satisfaction, but the worthless, cheap dyes will ruin your work ann spoil your temper. If your dealer does not keep the. DiamondDyes send your order to us, and we will mail the dyes to you.
