A NEW PROPHETESS.
,Flea Claims to be the Mouthpieoe of dhe
.dtargel Gabriel—She Predicts a Great War.
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.

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

stable for thoroughbred horses here.

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

Doctors, Prescribe It Every Day, and Their Efforts Aro Gowned With Success,
See that Your Dealer Gives You Paine's Celery Compound ---Do Not Allow
Him to Offer You a Worthless Substituev
The season of dangers and perils is
riow with us. Are we fully prepared
for it P
It is not our wish to pose as alarmists
—to create fear and trembling in the
ranks of the timid and fearful. At this
season honest, strong and reasonable
statements are imperative, so that the
thousands of half dead people in our
midst may be made to realize that they
are standing on dangerous ground, and
that the iron hand of the grint reaper
--death—may Soon end their existence
on earth. 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.
Thank Heaven for the provision
made to stay the cruel hand of disease!
Paine's Celery Compound, discovered
by earth's ablest physician, Prof. Ed,
Phelps, M. D., LLD., is the protector
and life giver for all who suffer at this
critical time. This "marvellous medi•
cine when used at this treacherous sea-
son makes the weak strong, gives ener-
gy and spirit to the despondent . and
morose, repairs every department of the
nervous system, gives blood as fresh
and pure as an infant's, and clears and
purifies the skin now 80 sallow and
dark. In the past Paine's Celery Com-
pound has proved a blessing to the
wearied and sleepless business man.
It invigorates his whole system and
calms his disquieted nerves. Young
women and girls in stores, and those
attending school who have been made
pale and listless, and whe feel used -up,
are soon made bright, happy, vivacious
and good looking after using a bottle

worried and over'-" orked wife and

of Paine's Celery Compound,
Delay's are often fatal. If you would
derive the advantages guaranteed
through the virtues of Paine's Celery
Compound, use it now while dangers
threaten your life and health. It is an
infallible cure—one that has blessed
humanity above all other agencies.
The best physicians of the land speak
of Paine's Celery Compound every day,
and never hesitate to recohemeud it as
the best of all spring medicines.
Just a closing word to every reader
who determines to use Paine's Celery
Compound.
There are many dealers and mer-
chants who, for the sake of gain and
e5:tra profit, will offer you, or recom-
mend you to take what they term
something just as good, Their object
is moneyprofit pure and simple. They
care not for your great anxiety about
your condition of health; it matters
little to them what becomes of you after
they have taken your money. Their
motives are purely selfish; reject them
always. Instst upon being supplied

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.

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
