One of the curious features of modern life
is the.extent to which the most hazardous
trades are overrun by applicants for
work. The electrio-light companies never
fend any difficulty in obtaining all the
linemen they need notwithstanding
the fact that the dangers of that kind of
lausinese have been demonstrated times
-without number. The men who work in
factories where wallpaper is made fre-
quently joke one another over the tradi-
tion that a man's life, in this trade is short-
ened 10 years. A similar belief is prevalent in
factories where leather papers are made, and
among men who have to handle them and
whose lungs are said to become impeded
lby inhaling the dust arising from such
papers. In certain other factories, where
brass ornaments and fittings are made, the
air is laden with 1, ery fine brazen particles,
which are, when inhaled, especially irritat-
ing to the hinge. But one of the most
singular advertised calls for employees that
was ever printed appeared recently in a
Connecticut newspaper, signed by a firm
engaged in the business of building towers.

Advice to stout 'women.
In choosing the material for your coat, just
remember that lb must be becoming notonly
in color, but also in material, or a close
check may be suitable for your friend who
is tall and slender, writes Isabel A. Mallon
in the April "Ladies Home journal" But
en you, who are stout and plump, it will
have the effect of making you appear at least
an inch shorter, consequently you went to
avoid that. On stout women, generally, a
smooth, plain cloth is most desirable, but I
do nob advise either the light greys, the
biscuits, or the wood colors, for they
seem to add to the flesh, take away
from the height, and to be anything
but what they should be, becom-
ing. Another thing that the stout woman
must beware of is the over -lapping seams
and large buttons noted. especially on the
English box coats. The light cloths are
most becoming to women who have dark
hair and clear, rosy skin; they make pale
women look sallow, and sallow women
resemble a lemon. Here is another sugges-
tion for the stout woman. Do not make the
mistake of having too long a coat, else you
will look as if you were all body and no
legs. The slender girl will be wise if, in a
smooth -fitting coat, she has inserted a
waistcoat, for then she will apparently gain
breadth, and the long, well -fitting outline
is not interfered with.

Tem advertising columns of a newspaper
generally teem With valuable information to
the readers. Men do not waste their money
buying space in a newspaper unkss they
have something to say, and the eomething
they have to say is always worthy of being
listened to. Shopping is reduced to a
science and many useless steps are saved
the busy housewife by a glance at the
advertising columns of our paper, where
news of what she wants to buy is placed
before her in the most attractive form, The
Now York Recorder says :
Advcr isements are news—valuable, inter -
fading news that repays in a double sense the
evader. The announcement of every merchant
in to -day's issue—and the prousieret names in
eeee, Theta comraeroial roll are there --is preg-
nant with ideas, suggestions and information
of a character that means more to the frugal
and capable housewife than all the news events
of both contineate. Those who neglect to road
the advertising columns of a newspaper under
the assumption that they contain no news
snake a grave error. Advertisements teem
with the news of every businees, trade and call-
ing that is advertised. And it is most reliable
trews, because it is furnished by experts, whose
energy is exerted in gathering that now and
whose ingenuity is exercised in presenting it
most attractively.

A STARTLED LEGISLATURE.
B. Make Drops Dead While AddreSs-
lug the Assembly,
The Call Was Sudden But Not Unexpected
—Dramatic Scene iu the House—The
Dead Matt% Mat Words— Sketch of Ms
Life.
Probably the most tragic scene ever wit
-
tamed in the Ontario Legislative Assembly
took piece at 4.30 yesterday anemia:1i, when
Mr. H. E. Clarke, senior member for To-
ronto, ip the midet of a speech, suddenly
stopped eat down quietly and expired
almost instantly. The business of the
House came to a standstill, light words
were baaished, and in a moment confusion
and consternation had seized all present,
The subject under discussion was Mr. Tait's
bill to provide for the exemption of mer-
chants' stooks. Mr. Awrey ternpin.-
arily occupied the Speaker's chair,
and those who were not intereeted in
the measure were in many cases chatting
together or reading the evening papers.
Mr. Tit had just presented the claims of
hie bill, and Mr. Clarke followed him. He
spoke slowly but distinctly, and the mem-
bers little dreamed that in the words he
was uttering he wits literally breathing his
life away. That Mr. Clarke himaelf had
no conception of the immediate nearness of
death there can be no doubt. He spoke in
his usual easy style and on his face was the
good-naeured expression that
always characterized him. He dwelt rather
humorously on the fact that it was really
the customers who pay the taxes of
the merchant, and as he littered the
words, "the only assessment at present
existing is," he sat down quietly and natur-
ally, leaned forward with his arms on his
desk and his hands pressed to his forehead.
In this attitude he remained a little less
than a minute' while the few members
who had noticedthe abrupt ending of his
speech looked up anxiously, thinking it was
but a passing weakness. Then, seeing he
did not move, Mr. Clancy, who was in the
same row, two seats away, got up and hut,
ried to his side. Just as he did so Mr.
Clarke threw back his head, and those
who saw his features knew at
once that consciousness had fled. Im-
mediately a panio seized the House
and all was confusion and dismay. Mr.
Clancy, Mr. Monk and other members sit-
ting in the vicinity quickly. lifted Mr.
Clarke from his seat and carried him to the
open space on the left side of the Speaker's
chair, where they stretched him upon the
carpeted floor. In a moment six physicians
surrounded the prostrate form and ex-
hausted the resources of their art to
recall the fleeting. life. In addition
to the professional members of the
House, Dr. Pyne, Dr. A. J. Johnson and
other physicians were on the floor in
anticipation of the second reading of Dr.
Meacham' s bill to amend the Ontario Medi-
cal Act. Among the foremost in lending
assistance were Dr. McKay, of South Ox-
ford, Dr. Johnson, Dr: Willoughby and
Dr. Gilmour. At first the members did not
realize the seriousness of Mr. Clarke's at-
tack, but as it became known that it was a
battle with death they hurried from their
seats and gathered around the unconcious
man. Hon. J. M. Gibson was one of the
first to hasten across the floor of the House.
The doctors quickly loosened Mr.
Clarke's collar and shirt and moved his bat
arm to and fro to restore the action of the
lungs. They also held his mouth open, that
if possible he might be enabled to breathe
more freely. A cry arose for more air, and
Mr. O'Connor, on the impulse of the
moment, broke a large pane of glass in the
south window, inunediately in line with
where Mr. Clarke lay. In this he was
seconded by Dr. Meacham. But all the
efforts made to restore life were in vain.
Slowly but surely the glaze of death settled
upon the open eyes, and the awful pallor of
death replaced the ruddiness that had been
so familiar to the members of the House.
When it became known for certain at 4.45
that death was in the chamber, the mem-
bers looked at each other with blanched
and horror-stricken faces. Mr. Mowat stood
up in his seat, but did not move from it.
Mr. Harcourt also remained in his place.
The majority of the members, with visitors,
pages, departmental clerks and messengers,
were grouped in the centre of the chamber
and among the seats of the Opposition,
near where the dead man was stretched.
When the doctors saw that hope was
over they carried the lifeless form between
them to the reception room, and the House
came to order again. There was a solemn
pause, in which not a word was whispered,
as the Speaker entered the chamber and
took his seat. In a voice that quivered with
emotion Mr. Mowat said, "1 move the ad-
journment of the debate," and immediately.
afterwards, "1 move the adjournment of
the House." The Speaker then, in a low
voice, formally announced the adjournment
of the House until Monday afternoon at 3
o'clock.
Mr. Clarke was born at Three Rivers,
Quebec, March 20th, 1829, and was there-
fore just 03 years of age. He learned the
saddle and trunk -making in Montreal, and
moved to Ottawa 10 1848, and at 20 years of
age was foreman of a large shop. In 1853
he returned to Montreal. and the next year
he came to Toronto. He was alderman for
St. George's Ward in 1879 and St. Andrew's
in 1881-2-3. In 1883 he was elected to the
Assembly for West Toronto, again 1880,
and again in 1891. He was an Orangeman
prominent in the order. He was e member
of the retail trunk firm on King street
west that bears his name, but had retired
from the manufacturing firm now known
under the name of the Langmuir Manufac-
turing Co. Mr. Clarke was a consistent
member of the Methodist Church.
"1 am afraid that Geteree is tiring of
me." " Why, dear?" He has been tell-
ing me that I an too good a woman to be
the wife of such a man as he is."
Rev. Rodney D. Robinson, of Clarkston,
Mich., has been suspended from the minis-
try of the Methodist Church by a committee
appointed to investigate charges preferred
against him of immoral teaching and im-
moral conduct.
It is expected at the head offices of the
Grand Trunk railway in Montreal that the
trouble between the then and the company
will be amicably settled by mutual con-
cessions, and that there Di now very little
ear of a strike.

,A HARVARD SENSATION,
President Eliot COMPareS the Mormons to
the Pilgrim Fathers
AND HAS HORRIFIED HIS MENDS.
Nearly all Cambridge are amazed over the
report of a speech by President ijot before
the Mormons in Salt Lake City a week ago.
Its words are said to have been these :
"As I came over the plains, I thought of
that early journey when the first colonists
marched acrose them under the guidance of
a Christian Church and this reminded me of
another pilgrimage though across the
water. I refer to "the Pilgrim Fathers.
They too went a long way to
escape persecution. They too suffered
hardships for a principle. They too
were filled with religious enthusiaem and
sought freedom also in worshipping God. In
planting a colony it is the women who have
the harder part. They died faster than the
men in Massachusetts. The great successful
colonies of this world are founded on relig-
ious enthuaiasm. Here you founded a
colony that you might worship God accord-
ing to the dictates of your conscience. Here
in this valley has risen the question of
religious liberty. In Massachusetts all
churches are equal before the law. There
is no reason why this religious liberty may
not be enjoyed in all the other States and
Territories as well as in Massachusetts.
Let us devote ourselves to this liberty, civil
and religious, for associations of every sort
and for the individual also. If I could do
something to unite the elements in this
Territory and bring them to seek religious
liberty as it is known in other parts of the
country, it would be to no a great reward."
In a speech in Denver President Eliot is
reported to have said that there was a
Mormon oolony among the students at
Harvard. These two speeches were circu-
lated yesterday, and created a storm of
°eminent. One leading professor said "It
is an outrage to compare the beastly Mor-
mons to the Pilgrim Fathers. The great
successful colonies of the world may be
founded on religious enthusiasm, but reli-
gion is only used as a cloak by the Mor-
mons. Does Mr. Eliot forget the massacres
by the Danites ? Does he forget that
through the Mormons many honest Ameri-
cans are out on the plains in unmarked
graves, men that were cruelly butchered?
Those men in unknown graves are a monu-
ment to the cruelties, tne butcheries and
the persecutions of the Mormons. The
most charitable way to look at it is that
President Eliot's brain was temporarily out
of order. The idea of speaking in such
a manner to such a people. Has he for-
gotten, among other things, tho unfortunate
women who for years were enticed from
England, Germany and other parts of
Europe by elders of the Mormon Church to
Utah to lead a life of shame, the life of the
sieve in a harem? To -day, when. Mas-
sachusetts hears the sentiment inspired by
the speech made by the President of Har-
vard University, she bows her head in
shame.. , Even if President Eliot does hold
those views he should remember his position
ard keep them to himself instead of making
his State and Harvard College the laughing
stock of the world."
The students did not mince matters in
their opinions. A good many believed that
if President Eliot used the language be was
beside himself. Said one of the young-
sters "11 we discover a Mormon colony at
Harvard we will initiate them into the
dickey. The latter day saints corralled
Mr. Eliot and gave him a big dinner. He
evidently celebrated it in fine shape and it
got a trifle the best of him."
One of the officials of the college sustains
President Eliot. He says: "Five years
ago President Eliot would not have found
a state of affairs in TJtah which would have
justified him in speaking words of friendship
and encouragement to the Mormons. Even
his speech at Salt Lake City will cause
something akin to horror in the minds of
those who do not see that Utah of to -day is
not the stronghold of a rebellious and crim-
inal people, but the home of men who have
publicly renounced polygamy, and who seern
to be sincere in seeking a share in civiliza-
tion. Nothing could be better for them or
more likely to cure Mormon evils, social,
civil and political, than to have scores of
the young Mormon men and women edu-
cated in eastern schools and colleges and
brought face to face with the noble home
life of New England. President Eliot has
met the Mormons face to face. He has
spoken kindly to them and told them they
would be welcome at Harvard. He will
probably receive denunciation for these
words from those who cannot or will not
sympathize with his purpose, but time will
show that bit vision 18 as keen here as it has
proved to be in many other ways."
BATTLE INA CIIIIIRCII.
— •
A Young Man Attacks a Fanner With a
Jack Hittite.
A. Winnipeg despatch says: A sensation
was created at Whitewood, N. W. T., on
Friday, at the Presbyterian Church social
in the church building, by a young man
named Oswald E. Spence making a savage
attack upon a farmer named Myles M.
Macarthur with an open jack knife. The
two men were on bad terms over some dis•
pitted land claim. Spence rushed upon
Macarthur in the church and stabbed him a
number of times in the head with the knife.
Macarthur had a child in his arms and
could not defend himself. Rev. Solomon
B. Musselman, a Methodist minister, and
a young and active man, at this stage
grabbed Spence's wrist. Several other
men assisted, but Spence struggled
violently. The sacred building, which
but a few minutes before had resounded to
harmony, was the scene of a wild struggle.
One 'vvoman fainted. Other women were
wildly rushing to and fro, seizing their
children and hurrying them out of the way,
while Macarthur, with his face deluged in
blood, presented a most ghastly appearance.
Spence was at last forced out of the church,
still holding the knife and the rev. gentle-
man hanging on determinedly to his wrist.
In this way he was taken part of the way
to the barracks. Meanwhile Mr. Morrison,
school teacher, and the wounded man had
proceeded to the barracks. Constable
Charles G. Sirnane immediately started out
and met the struggling procession just as
Musselman had at length succeeded in
'wrenching the knife from Spence, who con-
tinued to kick and struggle all the stay to
the barracks. A heavy cap and the broken
point of the blade prevented Macarthur's
wounds from proving fatal. The prisOner
was committed for trial, bail being refused.

TRIED THE STORAGE BATTERY.
NEW YonE. — There was a sensa-
tion at the Guttenburg race track on
Saturday which possesses many of the
elements of a romance. Entered in the
third shhent on the card was the chestnut
mare Gyda, by Gaberlunzie—Glenlillie, and
she ran in the colors of the Riverside stable.
Her real owner was P. Tobin, and he sprang
into prominence among turtmen by reeking
one of the greatestcoups the ring has known
in years, clearing a winner on the trausac-
don by sense poomo. He made this bold
stroke on the mare Gyda. Then, as eyee-
terday, she was started in a fielki that out-
classed her, and in which she •did not seem
to have the shadow of a chance. Butte the
consternation of everybody she shot away at
flagfall, and, gaining a commanding lead,
lasted long enough to get the verdict by a
head. Odds at 100 to 1 were freely marked
against her then, and by backing her
quietly and judiciously her owner almost
broke the ring, clearing a small fortune on
the mare's victory.
Yesterday Gyda started away at a break-
neck pace, surprising everybody, but she
failed in the stretch. Cook, her jockey,
had weighed in 5 lbs. overweight, but after
the race was 9 lbs. overweight. This at
otice dressed suspicion. Manager Carr took
the boy to a private room, and searching
him found an electric battery fastened
around his waist with wires running from
it to the spurs. The contrivance was vary
simple. The electricity was carried or
generated in four small tubes arranged in
a belt which was almost the exact counter-
part of a cartridge belt. It was worn next
the body, and running down it on either
side was e wire attached to the spurs. The
electricity was turned on or off by means
of a small switch which the jockey could
easily manipulate. He pressed the button
—the horse did or tried, as 'she never tried
before, to do ber best.
"It is very simple," said the owner. He
said that he had patented the appliance in
Europe, and that it had been used with suc-
cess there. It didn't give a horse any more
natural speed than hepossessed,heexplained,
but it would move a sulky horse to run true,
and the home that would run from it would
give his best efforts. He could not explain
the overweight found on the jockey, and as
the machine only weighs 10 ounces the
cause of Book's overweight is still a mys-
tery. Gyda was well played yesterday, but
the machine did not work strong enough
and the manipulators were discovered, and
Gyda, ber owner and trainer were ruled off
the course.
The Canadian Cricket Association scheme

A DIFFERENT 'VERDICT.
A. Case Where Justice Was Blind, Indeed,
and Overswift.
The Court House at Waldron, Ark., was
crowded. A half -suppressed murmur
through every crooked street in the unpic-
tureshue hamlet made it known that the
jury In the case of the State of Arkansas vs.
Abner Ray were ready to return their vett"
diet. Wbat would it be? Did they believe
the defendant the murderer of John Potts?
As if by magic,. the old and the young, the
busy and the idle, the curious and the in-
different had swarmed into the court -room
until every foot of space was occupied.
Outside the languid air seemed tremulous
with the heat, and every- leaf hung limp ard
motionless. The sultry July day was oppressive, and the atmosphere of the room so
stifling that those assembled gasped for
breath. The scant furniture and bare floor,
the roughwhitewashed walk and the rickety
lamp with tin reflector sitting upon a little
shelf behind the judge's chair, all told the
same story of mountaineer simplicity and
primitiveness. A hag, bent with age, was
whispering the story of the crime to her
plump, young neighbor, and said that two
witnesses had identified the body found in
Mill Creek. The clerk nervously upset his
inkstand, and the black stain on the white
front of his pine desk looked ghastly.
The judge ascended the little platform at
the end of the room, and bade the sheriff
clear an entrance for the jury. The strug-
gling crowd was parted a little way, and
12 good and lawful men filed in and stood
facing the prisoner, who eat exposed to the
gaze of all. His efforts to appear calm were
pitiful. Great drops of sweat rolled down
his swarthy cheeks, and he clutched the
framework of the ohair on which he sat.
Ten feet back of him stood his sweetheart,
the beauty of the village, sobbing softly and
leaning upon her father for support.
Ina thick, unsteady voice the foreman
read from the paper in his hand t "We of
the jury find the defendant gtrilty as charged
in the within indictment."
The condemned man rose from his seat.
His face was livid and his muscles rigid.
He stretched out one hand as though he I
would speak-, and the next moment fell for -
Ward almost at the foreman's feet—dead!
His sweetheart's tears stopped falling and
her wh.te lips quivered convulsively, but
she could neither cry out nor stir fiam her

TERMS OF THE SETTLEMENT.
The terms of settlement agreed upon are
these :
All men who have been discharged and
who have gone on strike, alto any exnployee
who has been discharged for refusing to
take the place of any striker, or who has
voted to strike, to be reinstated without
prejudice.
11 18 can be bown to the committee of
engineers who have mediated between the
company and the trainmen that any of the
strikers mat mitted an assault upon any
official of the road he to be dismissed. This
to apply to the Pacific and Eastern Division
as well as the I'Vesteln division.
A committee of five engineers namely :
Messrs. A. Kennedy, W. J. W'atson, A.
Broatcb, J. Brownlee mid C. Pope, to
settle the points on which the trainmen and
the company differed.
Tbat the arrangement between the
General Superintendent of the Pacific Divi-
sion and the trainmen that the rates on the
Western are to be taken as those on the
Pacific Division is to be carried out unless
in the meantime the trainmen and the
General Superintendent of the Pacific Divi-
sion have already settled the matter. esa's
Throughout the strike the engineers have
been endeavoring to act as peacemakers
and to bring about a satisfactory and
honorable settlement. From thb inaugura-
tion of the strike they have never wavered
in their loyalty to the company, but have
worked diligently to bring about an amic-
able and satisfactory settlement. This is
probably the first case of a railway strike
settled in such a manner, and the terms of
settlement indicate in what high esteem
both parties bold the engineers.
To -night trains depsrted with regular
conductors and train crews, and everything
is now running smoothly. Both sides are
willing to await the decision of the engi-
neers, having full confidence in their fair-
ness. Great satisfaction is generally ex-
pressed at the happy and early settlement
of the difficulty. Many expressions com-
plimentary to the engineers are heard.
—That was a very unkind remark made
by a Blairgowrie parson from his pulpit
the other day: "As Moody and Sankey
are to be in this church next Wednesday, I
would advise any of you who have valuable
Bibles or hymn books in your pews to take
them home with you till next Sunday."
