A F'R 4NCRLSE OBJECT -LESSON
If any Canadian by-elections should:
take place nest December, say, they
would be held on voters' lists some-
thing like two full yeas old.
The .American Presidental election is
to occuron. November Brd, and so far
mot a voter in New York city has been
enrolled. The first day for personal
registration was Friday and the last
day will be October 17th, .The lad
who comes of age on October 17th can
register and vote,and the man who dies
before Friday cannot by any possible
chance get his name, on the list.
Which system is likely to give us the
purest lists and to afford least chance
for the "telegrapher"? Which will go
farthest toward promptly enfranchis-
ing the young man and disfranchising
the cemetery ? Which would be the
most economical and the most effective,
PARLIAMENT'S BOW
The new Parlian'tent has made their
bow to the country and retired to pre-
pare for the :serious business that lies
before them. So far they have shown
us little but the prevailing red tint of
their attire, and a charming disposition
to be generous to themselyes—and oth-
ers—with our money. Another strik-
ing feature is the tendency of the new
members cif the company to play fairly
prominent roles. The old "stagers" are
still to the front, in somewhat new guise
—Sir Riehard as Sunshine, and Mr. Fos•
ter as Melancholy, for instance—but the
minor speaking parts on both sides are
by Ao means confined to the practised
Parliamentarians, The new recruits
disdain tarrying in the chorus.
For the rest we know little of the new
Parliament. They have their impres-
sion on the country yet to make. What
the said country would like to see
Would be a business Parliament, a non
talkative Parliament, a Parliament
with sensitive honor, an economical
Parliament. Will the hon. gentlemen
of the new Parliament qualify? We
shall know pretty well next session.
In a special article entitled "The
'Cycle Industry- in the United States,''
the London Times recently drew at-
tention to the wonderful strides made
by the trade in that country. The ear-
titulars given are interesting, as being
a remarkable instance of manufactur
ing development, Eleven years ago
there were only six firms engaged in
the business, with an output of a few
thousand bicycle;. There are now it
appears, 500 leading firms with a pro;
duct of a million"wheels," and probably
200,000 more manufactories engaged
in the business. It is further estimat-
ed that three million bicycles, or there-
about, are in use in the United States,
which shows that about one person out
of twenty of the population has taken
to the wheel as a matter of business,
amusement, or health.
Mrs. George Truckle was killed by a
Guelphstreet car while le r s
c l
n her
small grandson from under the wheels.
The boy was not seriously hurt.
Joseph Fleming, a farmer living near
Ruthven, has had several head of cat-
tle poisoned by some persons unknown.
Two of the animals have already died
from the effects of the poison.
The victims of the typhoid epidemic
in East Zora now number nine, Mary
Walton, the Il -year old daughter of
Mrs, Walton, who died a few weeks
ago, is the latest to succumb.
MONEY SAVERS.

It would require many large volum-

strong testimonial letters written by
the women of the country in favor of

once tried, they become permanent

Just think of it! One package of

1 FIRE AT BELLE VILLE.
ALD, YEOMANS LOSES HIS LIFE IN
THE, BUILDING.
Loss. Placed. at $20,000—A Great Drug
Establishniout Destroyed --Origin of the
Niro a ]mystery --Deceased's Reruaitis.
Found in the Cellar.
Bellev11]e. Oot, 19.—The city was pain-
fully shocked this morning by the news
that the premises se
s of Aid. L. Y. Yeomans
had been destroyer) by fire and that Mr.
Yeomans, the city's foremost financier.
and one of its most prominent men, bad
perished in the flames.
.Aid. Yeomans was indefatigable in
his attention to his business and was
known to go early to his place of busi-
ness. This morning he went to his office
at four o'clock to make preparations to
receive Isir. Fowler, of New York, who
is in the city in the interests of Messrs.
Scott & Browne, whose well-known
emulsion is manufactured in, Canada
by L. W. 'Yeomans & Co, The fire was
discovered in the top story where the
eroulsion was made at a,m. by a work-
man named Fred Pope, who works for
James Roy, brewer. It had started at.
the back end of the lower store and shot
up then elevator. The flames spread
rapidly, and before the fire brigade's
efforts were of any avail the building
was entirely gutted.
FOUND) IN THE CELLAR.
It was at first supposed that AIr, 'Yeo-
mans had left the city suddenly, on an
early train, but when the facts homilies
known, hope was abandoned, for there
was then no doubt that his charred re-
mains were lying among the ruins of his
building:
Theetil y bf Mr. Yeomans was found
at 11.15 in the cellar of the buiding. He
had evidently run to the grating in the
front of the building, to make his escape,
and had been overcnmo by the .smoke.
The body was not burned at all, death
undoubtedly resulting from suffocation.
A PROeirelENT CITIZEN.
How the sad tragedy 000urred is not
known, but Mr. lkluir thioks that be
must have fallen in the coal oil cellar
with a lamp in his hand and that an
immediate explosion ensued In which
the unfortunate man was enveloped.
Ald. Yeomans was one of Belleville's
most prosperous and hard-working busi-
ness men, and in addition he was con-
nected with various institutions in the
city. As chairman of theEreontive Com-
mittee in the City Councilhis great
financial ability wasreoognized. He held
the position of bursar in Albert Col-
loge,and was one of the leading Method-
ists in the city. He was also spoken of
for the mayoralty next year. Deceased
was supposed to be worth in the neigh.
borhood of a quarter of a million dollars,
and carried $75,000 life insurance. One
endowment policy held in the Ontario
Mutual, of Waterloo, was for $20,000.
The magnificent four-story building
in which the manufaotlue of Scott's
emulsion was carried on as well as the
extensive wholesale and retail coal oil
and drug business, was one of Belle-
ville's finest buildings and most success-
ful manufactories, and the total gutting
of the establishment causes a financial
loss greater than Belleville has ever sus-
tained at one time for years.
The total loss of the building will be
from $25,000 to $$0,000.
