THE EXETER ADVOCATE.. THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1896. Tne Week's Comfiiereial Summary. Thirty-nine failures, arereported in the Dominion for last week, four more than corresponding week last year. Canadian stocks are quiet and steady. Bank shares are higher than last week, 'with a fair investment demand. .Stocks of wheat at Port Arthur and Fort William are 1,603,148 bushels as against 1,458,420 a week ago and only 215,622 bushels a year ago. A further decline in the output of flour at Minneapolis was reported last week, only 233,100 barrels being pro• duced, against 241, 670 the week previous, and 147,110 a year ago. There has been no access of activity in general business since the quieting down of the political excitement, but this is due rather to natural causes, trade being generally dull at this mid- summer season, than to any fear of special disturbance arising out of the re- sults of the elections. Collections rule on the slow side, The total sales of real estate in Montreal for June were 99 with a value of $270,924.53, as against 89 sales and $317,138.01 in May, and 85 sales and $285,980.62 in June 1895, showing a decline of over $46,000 from the previous month and only $15,000 from June last year. The total sales for the city and suburbs are 140,of a value of $349,255.78, against 138 sales of a value of $437.479.19 last month, and 119 sales of a value of $144,249.09 in June last year. There has been a moderate volume of trade at Toronto this week. Orders were chiefly of a hand -to-mouth character for seasonable goods, and prospects are fair. The feeling with regard to the future has improved somewhat and there is ap- parently less uncertainty than a week ago. Harvesting of winter wheat is in full swing in the Niagara and Lake Erie districts. The grain is of first class qual- ity, but the yield will be light. The spring crops both north and west look remarkably well. Barley, oats and peas are all doing well. A committee of the Dominion Senate reports that there is in the Canadian Northwest a possible area of 316,000 square miles, over 200,000,000 acres, suitable for wheat. We can see the significance of this fact, when we know that in 1888 the whole area sown in wheat in the United States was, according to the report of the Department of Agriculture, 36,000,000 acres. Canada ,is destined to be the chief granary of the world. Wheat has been successfully grown •at Fort Simpson on the Mackenzie river, 802 miles north of the northern boundary of the United States. Barley is a safe crop at Fort Norman, between four and five degrees north of Fort Simpson, and potatoes have been grown with great success within the Arctic circle. The Winnipeg manager of the Molsons Bank, reports that the crop outlook in Manitoba continues to improve. The wheat acreage will not equal that of last year, but on the whole the prospects for a bountiful harvest are very promising. There isless credit in the country, consequently farmers are more prudent, and instead of running into debt are gradually reducing old liabilities; in fact are in a better shape financially than ever before. Quite a number are carrying over a percentage of last year's crop, something unprecedented in the history of the country. Mixed farming is becoming more general, and with it, the assurance that the failure of any one crop will not mean the im, • ,rishment of the whole community. Here and There. Most men would prefer to hibernate during the heated term. TOPICS OF. A WEEK. A home without children is like a garden without flowers. The goldenrrd and the aster are seen along the country roadsides, a reminder of the waning of the season. The Important Events in a Few Words For Busy Benders. CA\ADIAN.

This fine sense of a "square game" might readily be found absent in inany people of far higher pretensions to virtue. Dr. G. Stanley Hall seriously asserts that crying for young children is the chief and best exercise they get; and a New York hospital superintendent says that for a baby to cry ten or fifteen minutes at a time, three or four times a day, is really beneficial. Real friendship should not be glass threads or frostwork, but the most solid thing we, know. The friend the heart longs for Is an honest, loyal, helpful soul that lives and feels and suffers; dares, yet does not change; steadfast amid good report and evil report; true in word, in deed; tender in weakness, gen- erous in pain. A Kansas man who carried tobacco and cartridges in the same pocket, care- lessly put two of the cartridges in his pipe while filling it with tobacco the other day, and they exploded when the pipe was under way. One of them killed him by penetrating his brain—so it ap- pears he really did have a brain, although he evidently didn't work it very hard. In his Vegetable Pills, Dr. Parmelee has given to the world the fruits of long scientific research in the whole realm of medical science, combined with new and valuable discoveries never before known to man.

Mrs. Youmans, the Well -Known Temper- ance Lecturer, Passed Away on Saturday Night. Toronto, July 20.—By the death of Mrs. Letitia Youmans, who passed away at her residence, 19 Metcalfe, on Satur- day night, an'ardent and devoted worker has'been lost to temperance reform and to Christianity. The cause of death was inflammatory rheumatism, to which the deceased lady had been a martyr for some months, and which ailment caused her much suffering. This, however, was borne with exemplary patience, and, fortified by the religious beliefs to which she had devotedly clung from her youth upwards, she niet the dread summons with perfect resignation. Her death will cause a feeling of deep regret not only throughout Canada, but in Great Britain, and in fact every British colony where sho was known, either by her speeches or her writings on the subject of tem- perance reform. The late Mrs. Youmans was the daughter of Mr. John Creighton, who for a number of years pursued the avoca- tion of farming in the neighborhood of Cobourg, where in 1827 the future tem- perance reformer was born. She was for- tunate in entering, at the age of sixteen, the Cobourg Ladies' Academy, then conducted by the Rev. D. 0. Vannorman, to whose reputation as an educator the deceased lady has paid eloquent tribute. She remained there for a year, and then removed with her instructor to Hamil- ton, where the latter established the Bur- lington Academy. Here she studied for three years, when she graduated and passed two years at the institution. as first English teacher. The young lady was a diligent student, and made quiok and satisfactory p;;ogress. The interest she displayed in the enlargement of the school library, and in creating and sup- porting a literary periodical among her fellow -students, early gave promise of valuable work in a more important field. On leaving Hamilton Mrs. Youmans conducted for a short time a ladies' academy at Picton, where in 1850 she was married to Mr. Arthur Youmans. The two lived happily together until 1882, when the husband died. It was a heavy blow, as Mr. Youmans had taken a great interest in his wife's work, and she attributed much of her success to his kindly counsel and companionship. A whole cow in Clay County, Kan., must be worth a good deal of money. The tail of one chewed off by a dog the other day cost the owner of the dog $27. 50. The littlest married couple in Indiana are Mr and Mrs, Frank Shade, of Ken- dallville. She is just three feet high, and he is half an inch shorter. Both are over fifty years of age. The pelt of a white sea -otter is worth about $5,000. One of these animals was lately seen in the Bay of Santa Cruz, Cal,, by two fishermen and pursued, but the fugitive escaped. Governor Murray, the British and French Commodores and the eeewfound- land Ministry held a conference on the fishery troubles, and there is hope of the matter being settled. During the recent storm in St. Louis a block of stone weighing 16,800 pounds was blown from a flat car standing on a railway track and carried a distance of four feet before it fell. Dr. J. I Perron, a prominent, free sil- ver advocate in Council Bluffs, Ia., was arrested on the charge of defaming the character of President Cleveland by in- timating publicly that "Judge Lynch would make short work of him and pos- sibly raise the price of hemp in spite of the gold basis." Thousands Like Her.—Tena McLeod. Severn Bridge, writes; "I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil for curing me of a severe cold that troubled me nearly all last winter.' In order to give a quietus to a hacking Dough, take allose of Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil thrice a day, or oftener if the cough spells render it necessary. Miss Jemima Riddle, a young girl adopted by Mr Alex Glassford of Glenvale, was accidentally killed by Willie Wright, an adopted son of the same man, who took down the gun to shoot crows A shortage of nearly $4, 000 discovered in the books of the late town treasurer of Stratford has been made good by William Lawrence, son of the deceased, who was appointed treasurer on his father's death. London Inland revenue collections for June amounted to $28,527, an increase of $1,a94 as compared with that of June, 1895. Custom collections last month were $29,486, a decrease of $797.

At the Assize Court in Bracebridge on Thursday night, the jury in the case of John McKenzie, charged with the mur- der of John Scott at Severn Bridge last October, failed to agree, and the case was put over to the next assizes. Rev. Alex. Grant, speaking at the Northwest Baptist Convention at Winni- peg on the school qu stion, declared that to put religion, whether in the form of ex- ercises or instruction, into the State schools was to do the children incalcula- ble damage. The Town Council of Birmingham has before it an offer from Mr. William Mac- kenzie, president of the Toronto Street Railway, and Mr. Tames Ross, president of the Montreal Street Railway, to pur- chase the whole street railway system within the town. A number of well-known Toronto bankers and financial men, who were in- terviewed, expressed the opinion that the adoption of a silver standard by the United States would seriously affect the business relations of the Dominion with that country, and that Canadian invest- ments would undoubtedly suffer. The late John Livingstone, of Lis- towel, was at his death the richest man in the county of Perth. His estate was valued at $500,000. In addition' to this Ms life was insured for $500,000. Thirty- five years ago he landed in Canada a poor Scotch lad without a second snit of clothes. On Wednesday evening two boys named Powley, aged twelve, and McUul- Iough, aged seven, were playing when the former told the latter to climb .a tree and he would show him how to shoot a tramp. McCullough climbed the tree, and Powley procured a shotgun, which he fired at his playmate. The charge entered the child's left lung. His recov- ery 1s doubtful. The two hundred and sixth anniversary of the battle of the Boyne was celebrated by Canadian Orangemen in many de- monstrations.

MI England Never Means to Agandon Egypt-- Lord'SalisburyUrged to Make a Plain Declaration os the Fact. London, July 20.—A remarkable article in the Edinburgh Review, demanding the frank avowal that we never mean to abandon Egypt, probably written by Sir Alfred Milner, is exciting plentiful abuse in European capitals of "Parade Albion." Lord Salisbury's equally re- markable speech on the Soudan expedi- tion in the House of Lords on Thursday strengthened the belief that despite its solemn pledges to Europe, the Govern- ment is not concerned so much with the dervishes as with the creating of a strong British interest in North Africa, from which no European jealousy can dislodge them. The Spectator strongly urges the Gov- ernment to tell the simple truth, and says plainly that "conditions have changed since we pledged ourselves to evacuate Egypt, and that we mean to stay and make Egypt a self-supporting part of this Empire." It says that Lord Salisbury probably will not accept this advice, because European diplomatists urgently desire England to keep silence. They know that England cannot, and will not, leave Egypt, but fear that the frank avowal of her intention to stay would load to popular outbursts, com- pelling war. It is reported in Constantinople that sixty thousand Kurds in the Diarbekir district have revolted and are pillaging the villages indiscriminately. The now Shah of Persia has announced that hereafter public offices,' dignities, and military titles will be bestowed solely on the merits of the candidates. Returns of the British Board of Trade for June show an increase in imports of $6,650,000, and an increase in exports of $13,650,000 as compared with June, 1895.

BELLEVILLE BRIEFS. GoluiIests for l enol Scum A Bad Heart --Chronic Catarrh --Vanish at the Touch of Dr. Agnew's Wonderful 'Cures. "I tried Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart and obtained immediate relief I have taken four bottles and now am entirely, free from every symptom of heart trouble, and I hope that this statement may induce others troubled as I was to give this most vaivable remedy a trial." writes Thomas Petry, of Alymer, Que. You can readily verify any testimonial quoted in commending this wonderful discovery of modern medical ,science. Thousands have tested its curative quali- ties after having "doctored" for years, and were pronounced hopeless cases. If as a last resort it hoe proven such a boon, what sufferings would be spared ifwhen the slighteat uneasiness at the he itis experienced; Dr. Agnew's Heart C•sPe were tried. CATARRH -="I should not feel that 1 was doing my duty did I not recommend Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder to every- one," writes George Lewis, Shamokin, Pa., and think that an average of 80 to 90 in every hundred whose,eyes will meet this is to a lesser degree affected by this insidi- ous disease. There is only ono safe, sure and harmless cure—Dr. Agnew's Ca- tarrhal Powder. No case so slight that you nen afford to neglect to use the remedy. No case so acute or deep seated that it will not relieve and absolutely cure; no catarrh remedy has had so much good said of it, and no remedy has the high endorsetion of the medical profes- sion it ,enjoys, and your ease is not hope - loss while Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Cure is to be had. SerlouslCharge Against a Farmer ---Tramps Accused of Burglary. Belleville, July 20.—Leslie E. Lucas, a young man aged 21 years, who was taken to the hospital ten days iigo suffer- ing from typhoid fever, died there Fri- day morning. Deceased was bookkeeper for Lalby & .Tones, of this city. and his home was at Centreville, Addington county, whither his body was removed this evening for interment under the auspices of his brethren of Court Dul- madge, A. 0. F. W. H. Johnston, a farmer, who lives in Huntingdon township, was on Friday arraigned before Judge Lazier on the charge of having been intimate with Emma Mary Ellis,a girl under sixteen years of age. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six months in the Central prison. The culprit is a man of forty years of age, and has a wife and two children. The girl is his wife's niece. The twu tramps, Dource and Howie, who were charged with burglary and safe -blowing at Marmora, were again brought before Judge Fralick on remand on Friday morning. The evidence, although affording ground for strong suspicion, was not quite conclusive as to their identity, so the judge acquitted them. Fight in Cleveland. Cleveland,. July 17., -The fiercest fight since the strike of the Brown hoisting workers began occurred this evening. The militia kept the crowd back, while the non-union men were taken from the shops, but the mob increased until it numbered many thousands and extended over a territory of fifteen squares. Jeers. stones and clubs drew a charge from the police and militia. Many on both sides were wounded. Just how many strikers were hurt is uncertain, but two men who were so severely stabbed with bayo- nets that they could not 'get away are lying at the St. Clair Hospital. They are Thomas McGreavy and Thomas Garrety. Manttoba Crop Prospects. Winnipeg, July 18.—As the season advances, the crop reports received from various grain -growing districts continue to be even more favorable. Along the line of the Manitoba and N. W. railway crops could not be better, and one corre- spondent says: "If the present prospects continue, this year's crop will surpass those of former years." The regular bi- monthly crop report of the M. & N. W. railway, issued to -day, is very encourag- ing. The Retort Discourteous. "If there is anything that I covet," said Mr. Spickles' wife, "it is a good voice. I Jtnow that it is very wrong to be envious, but I can't help it when I hear another woman singing."

For some time past work has boon carried on by the Lachine Rapidds Hydraulic Company upon a large wing dam which runs out for more than a thousand feet into the St. Lawrence River. A fall of water is secured by means of this dam sufficient to develop. at the low water season 15,000 horse power, This water power is to be transformed into eleotricity. Upon the dam a power house will be built which wlil run its entire length 'and show an unbroken interior of 1,000 fent long. The basement of this will be occupied by the water wheels. The main floor will contain the dynamos, of which there will be twelve, each of 1,000 horse power or 12,000 horse power in all. They will be of the Canadian General Electric Com- pany's latest multiphase type, and will generate current for transmission to Montreal for use there in lighting the city, operating the street railroads,, and in any and all other lighting and power purposes. Apart from the fact that this plant will exceed in interest any yet installed, the contract for this electrical installation is the largest ever placed at one time for electrical dynamos., It is also worthy of note that although it was competed for by every prominent elec- trical manufacturer in the world, the superiority of the apparatus chosen kept the order with home manufacturers, -- Canadian, Manufacturer.
