Mr. Gibson presented the report of the
commiettionere on the Niagara Palle park ;
and also the report of the Bureau of Mines.
Mr. E. In Clerk° moved, that the order
for the thud reading be diseharged and the
bill be referred back to committee. The bill
was referred back and a few verbal amend-
ments made and the bill returned to the
House for a third reading.
Mr. Harcourt, replying to Mr. Marten
fond the engineer of the department was
sent to the townshipe of Brunel and Stepheu-
son in Decenaber, 1891, to inspect the locali-
ties said to be flooded, and to interview the
owners of the laude.
Mr. Hudson continued the debate on the
education of Nineteen' sons.
Mr. Glendining, without finding fault
with the grants to higher education, thought
the grante to the public schools should be
larger.
Mr. MeInechnie, as a merchant end man-
ufacturer, had interests itieutical with that
of the farmer. A good deal had been said
about politics being introduced into the
Farmers Institute meetings. He held ouch
was not the ease.
Messrs. Sprague, Magwood, Godwin and
Clancy continued the debate, but nothing
new was elicited.
Mr. White, after recess moved the eecond
reading of a bill to provide for the division
of the township of Sandwich East.
Mr. Meredith deprecated the syetem of
separating. the French from the English-
speaking mhabtants as provided for in the
bill. The system was bad, and he hoped
the House would nor lend itself to any
such legialation. They should endeavor
rather to promote a friendly intercourse
betiveen the two peoples, which certainly
would nob be brought about by the passage
of such a bill.
Mr. White thotight the hon. gentleman
had been misinformed as to the true facts
of the case. The bill was not introduced
with the object he had suggested. It had
been introduced upon the request of a great
number of the ratepayers of the township.
The interests of the village which was
widely scattered, were not at identical,
and separate management was needed for
-either end of the community.
The bill was read a second time on divi-
Mr. ltliscampbell resumed the debate on
the motion regarding the better education
for farmers' sons.
M -r. Tait, on resuming the debate on the
billto amend the Assessment Act, said that
Jae would like it to go to the committee.
Mr. Hardy said the session was too far
,advanced to treat the bill seriously.
Mr. Meredith said it should, by rights,
go to the committee, and the bill was read a
:second time.
Several bills to amend the Municipal and
Assessment Acts received a second reading,
and were referred to the Municipal Com-
mittee.
Mr. Rayside's bill to amend the Timber
Slides Act was road a second time, and. re-
ferred to a select committee.
Mr. Mowat moved the third reading of
ihis Billtho amend the law of mortmain and
charitable uses.
Mr. Meredith said that the present Bill
;proposed to abolish one of the most import-
ant provisions in the law of mortmain. The
law was that a man could not will property
to charitable or religious institutions within
ne period of six months before death. T.his
was to avoid death -bed bequests to chari-
table or religious institutions that were
often unjust. The old law provided a safe-
guard, but Mr. Mowat's Bill abolished the
safeguard, which was the foundation -stone
,of the law of mortmain. The Attorney.
General had not given any reason why the
old law in this regard should be abrogated,
.and the old law with the sax months' pro-
vision as far as he could see, was just and
equita:ble.
Mr. Mowat said that his bill was a copy
of the Imperial Act. He had not considered
•the point referred to by Mr. Meredith, and
he would ask the bill to stand, and to -mor-
row it would be referred back and discussed
in committee.
The Attorney -General moved that after
Friday next Government business have pre-
,cedence over all other business except private
'bills on every day of the session, including
Monday, and that the House do sit on Sat-
urdays at 11 o'clock a. m.
Mr. Gibson presented the report of the
memmission appointed to enquire into the
.elairns of the township of Proton,
The HMSO went into committee and un-
tried the following bills and resolution :

gentlemen had no power to 'Tend a dollar
of the surplus money without onming
to the House owl asking for it. There had
been the sum of $160,000 spent upon the
college above the amount voted for which
the hon. gentleman had bad no authority
Whatever. The expenditure had therefore
been absolutely illegal, and for which there
had been no warrant. Surreptitiously the
leen: gentleman had put Ms hand in the
treasury and had taken out the required
amount. There had never been euch en
insult to libelee]. government. He therefore
moved that all the words in the motion
after the word "that " be struck out and
the following substituted " 11 appears
by the returns brought down to this House
that there has been spent in connection
with the Upper Canada College buildings
and site, including $14,649 for furniture,
the sum of $319,451 ; thet the said sum is
in excess by $150,000 and upwards, of
the amounb authorized by the Legislature
to be applied for thie purpose, and that such
additional expenditure, besides being un-
authorized and illegal, is in violation of the
terms of the compromise under which the
college was continued and on the faith of
which this House assented to the erection of
the new colleen 0buildings.
Mr. Mowat said that the money about
whieh the hon. gentleman was complaining
had not, been improperly used. It had not
been used for political purposes, as had
been done in another Province recently, but
had been used for purely public purposes.
He utterly denied that the expenditure was
illegal. Of course the grant should have
been voted by the House to be strictly regu-
lar, otherwise the hon. gentleman had not
exceeded his duty.
Mr. Venrod (Hastings) said the proceed-
ing, in his opinion, was very irregular. The
hon. Minister had broken faith •with the
House.
Mr. Ross considered that he was not only
criticised as to his administration of the
department but for malversation, of having
taken funds surreptitiously from the
treasury. He claimed that he was entitle&
to expend the $38,000 to the credit of the
college upon improvements on the college
without an Order -in -Council. The present
was a case in which the Government had to
throw themselves upon the confidence of the
House in taking decisive action in au emer-
gency.
Mr. Meredith said that the Government
had been guilty of a breach of trust in per-
mitting the funds of the province to be
diverted as they had been. If the Govern-
ment could go on and expend money in this
manner there was no use in the Opposition
remaining in the House. The whole system
was a farce.
Mr. Balfour was prepared to endorse the
motion of the honorable leader to a certain
extent, but was not prepared to support it
in toto.
Mr. McMahon regretted the necessity of
any such transaction as had taken place.
In view of the Attorney -General's decision
he could not question the legality of the
transaction. If he was to apply the same
principle to a private transaction he was
afraid he would soon find himself behind the
bars. (Laughter and Opposition applause.)
He did not think the hon. the Minister
of Education had any right to place his
hand in the treasury for any purpose,
-whether that purpose was commendable or
not. (Opposition applause.) He felt it his
duty to support the hon. leader of the Op-
position.
The amendment was lost by 29 to 45.
The following bills were introduced and
read a first time:
Mr. Awrey—To amend the Act respecting
the law of landlord and tenant.
Mr. Avvrey—To amend the Assessment
Act.
Mr. Ross—To amend and explain certain
portions of tbe Public School Act.
• Mr. Ross—To empower the University of
Toronto to deal with certain Upper Canada
College funds.
Mr. Gilmour—To amend the Street Rail-
way Act.
Mr. Hardy—To Amend the Registry Aca
Mr. Hardy—To amend the Jurors' Aca
' Mr. Mowat said that in view of what he
believed to be the general wish of the House
there should be no session to -morrow, but
hon. gentlemen may be prepared to sit this
evening and Monday evening next. It was
expected that by this arrangement the
House could be prorogued by the end of
next week.
Mr. Misoampbell moved for copies of all
correspondence between the Minister of
Education or any officer of his department
and the principal of Upper Canada College.
In reference to the expenditures for the
new site and buildings for the college, or
the endowment of the college, or otherwise
in reference to any expenditure assumed to
be made under the authority of the statute
relating to the endowment of the college.

Ur. 1Vieaoharn moved the eecond reading
of a Bill to amend the Oatario Medical Act,
providing for a three year term for
physieiens elected to the Previncial Medical
Council, ad proposing to divide the Pro-
vince into 21 districts, erteli (henna to con-
tain as nearly as possible the same number
of phyrsiehtns.
• Mr, McKay (Oxford) opposed the 13ilnand
as Mr. Mowat said that ite understood that
three interested in the 13111 had decided to
let the Bill go to te sepond reading without is
vote, the Bill was passed.
Mr. Gibson named a Special Committee,
to which all medical bills were forthwith re-
ferred.
Mr. Daele's Bill to amend the Building
Societies' Act received its eecond reading.
Mr. Allan's Bill on the Dental Act was
referred to a special committee.
The House adjourned at 10,40 p, in.
To provide for the payment of succession
duties in certain cases—Mr. Harcourt.
Amounts to be paid as bounty for the de-
struction of wolves—Mr. Hardy.
To amend the Act respecting the taxation
'of patented land e in Algoma and Thunder
,Bay—Mr. Hardy.
Mr. Gibson (Hamilton) moved the second
•reading of a bill to Amend the Act for the
protection of game and tur-bearing animals.
The bill provided for the shortening of the
open season trom the 15th of October to the
15th of November, instead of the 20th of
November as formerly. It is further pro-
vided that the hunting of deer with dogs be
limited to the last half of the season, from
November lst to 15th.
Mr. Wood (Hastings) said that all were
agreed that the time for hunting fur -bearing
animals would be shortened. But such a
laW would be of no value if it was not
-enforced.
Mr. Balfour did not think the shortening
of the open season was a good feature. He
thought the fines provided for shooting
•, game out of season were excessive, and
should be loft to the judgment of the magis-
trates.
Mr. Monk thought it would be advisable
to divide the province into four districts, as
• there never could be a game bill devised to
suit the entire province as a whole. At this
• late stage he feared they could not fix the
boundaries, however.
Mr. Clancy thought the penalties were
too severe. He was, however, in favor of
protecting the game of the province as far
as possible.
Mr. Meredith said that he did not believe
in appointing paid commissioners. If people
wanted game they should pay for game
, protection, and the general publie should
not be taxed.
Mr. Ross moved the rsecond reading of a
bill respecting the federation Of the Uni-
versity of Toronto and University College
and other universities and colleges.
The bill was read a eecoxid time.
On a motion to go into supply,
Mr. Meredith rose to make a, tnotion re-
specting the action of the Government in
the matter of certe,ba expenditures made on
'behalf of Upper Canada College, The money
whieh had been expended upon that college
was trest kends of the Provinee. An ex-
penditure of $17,000 in enceee of the sum
entailed hail been expended by the hon.

firm sells as manyas 100 of thee ropes
annually. Their price of the rope, with the
noose ready for use is $5. The ropes are
hand -made and of hemp, and one of the
employees of the firm's North St. Louis rope
walk ties the knot. A few weeks since the
sheriff of Madison County, Illinois, had a
man to hang at Edwardsville. He bought a
rope that he thought would answer the 'pur-
pose, The tying of the knot he found, how-
ever, to be a more difficult matter than he
imagined, and he went to St. Louis to have
the noose made. The rope maker charged
him $2.50 for tying the knot.

tell how he got rid of an ofEce-seeker. Said
ho: "I was very much annoyed by a per-
sistent applicant for the post of messenger.
The man came in regularly every day for
several weeks until he became an unbearable
bore. Finally, one day after the man had
gone out, I asked the messenger then in
office, if he knev what that man was after.
He said : 'No, sir." Well,' said I, he
wants your place, and if I ever see him
again he shall have it.' I never saw the
man again."

Mr. McMahon.

For the protection of persons employed in

Mr. Monk moved the second reading of a
bill respecting returns by registrars and
masters of titles under the Land Titles Act.
Mr. Mowat said that much of the infor-
mation asked for was already compiled by
the registrars.
Mr. McCleary moved the second reading
of a bill to amend the Ontario Anatomy
Act. The bill prevides authority for the
chairman of the Houses of Industry and
wardens of Councils at their discretion to
refuse to permit medical students a,nd others
to obtain corpses of inmates of such insti-
tutions.
Mr. McColl drew a harrowing picture of
the feelinge of the inmates of poorhouses,
with the dread of dissection hanging over
their heads.
Mr. Mowat said that he would be
ashamed if the bill passed. It is necessary
• that we should think first of tho living. It
was absolutely necessary in the public in-
terest that we should have skilled surgeons,
and in order to secure this end bodies must
be obtained by the schools. It bodies can-
not be obtained in this way the medical men
never recognized it as a artme, but a matter
of duty, to secure bodies by rifling the
graveyards. Sentiment should not beput
before publio duty. In the neigh-
boring province, where reepect for
the body of the dead was even greater
than in this, the law went even further.
The law made provision for allowing friends
and relations to give the body burial. He
hoped the bill would be dropped. '
Mr. Meredith deplored the lack of senti-
ment in Mee Mowat's remarks, He did not
see why any distinction ehould be made and
paupers singled out for the studeat's knife.
He thought the bodies of criminale thould
also be handed over.
Mr. Willoughby did not think the bill
was good legislation. If medical men were
peevented from obtaining corpries in the way
they had been accustomed, they might visit
the graveyards of our friends and relatives
and extract theteftom what they wanted.

A LONCI-
AND
BUSY
"LIFE.
John Gentle Was With the British During
the War of 1812.
On Thursday last Mr. John Gentle, of
No. 42 Margaret street, celebrated hie 119th
birthday. At firat sight of the old gentle-
man many would be inclined to doubt this
statement owing to the activity displayed
by him in gettingabout the city. He marked
lushirthdaybytakinga longwalk downto the
east end of the city, and on his return pro-
fessed to feel no great fatigue whatever.
Yesterday atternoon a Times reportercalled
to see him, and found Mr. Gentle seated. in
an arm -chair, deeply interested in a news-
paper. His hair and beard are snowy
white, but he laughs as heartily as he did
twenty years ago. His teeth are good and
his appetite is in splendid condition.
Although email, his figure is not bent to
any great extent, and, in fact, the only
evidence of extreme old. age lies in his ex-
ceeding deafness, which has afflicted him
only during the past three years. A brief
history of this aged eitizeia's busy life will
be of interest to many.
Mr. Gentlewasthe eldest ole familyefsix,
his parents having immigrated from Scot-
land about 1790. Born in Detroit in March,
1803, he lived there until he was five years
of age, when his father's active opposition
to the Americans in Detroit got him intO
disfavor with the powers that were, and as
the result of incendiary speeches and hostile
writings he was compelled to leave Detroit,
and accordingly made his home in Sandwich,
on the Canada side of the river. When the
subject of this sketoh was nine years old
the war of 1812 broke out, and his fathez
promptly secured a position in the commis-
sariat department and served the Govern-
ment well. Many of the most important
incidents of those stirring times are quite
fresh in the memory of young John, or
rather old John now, and told by himself
have additional interest from the fact that
the old man speaks whereof he knows.
"One of the most exciting occurrences
that I remember," said he, "took place
shortly after the war broke out. It was
nothing less than a raid by the Americans
on our little town of Sandwich. A large
quantity of supplies of all kinds was stored
there at the time, and it was of the utmost
importance that they should be preserved.
My father accordingly secured a schooner
and two batteaux, and after taking onboard
all the families who desired to leave we set
sail out through the straits into Lake St.
Clairand coaseing along theatuadashore we
arrived in the mouth of the Thames after a
couple of day's sail. No sooner had we
entered the river, however, than the scouts
who had been posted along the banks re-
ported the presence of a large body of
American troops within but a short dis-
tance. Hampered as our party was by
women and children it would have been
folly to fight, and after ordering the boats
to be seuttled and fired he gave the
order to retreat. I can remember
as though it were yesterday that long, tire-
some trip through the bush with the women
of the party in front and the men at the
rear. Eventually my father saw that the
stores could not be saved with their then
rate of progress, and it was decided to
leave a number of the women and children
at houses of hospitable farmers, and the
men pressed on to Brantford, where there
was a considerable force of British troops
stationed. After following as far as they
dared the Americans gave up the chase,
but as they retired instituted a diligent
search, the country round, for stragglers
from the British. They also entered all
the farm -houses en route, and soon gath-
ered quite a party of women and children
whom they decided to take on to Detroit.
Our little band was among this number,
and We embarked on a big schooner, the
captain of which was kind enough, before
the end of the trip to stop the boat
some distance east of Detroit, as
my mother pretended to be vety sick.
She intended to remain at a farmhouse near
the landing place until the schooner could
pick her up on the next trip, some time in
the following week. As soon as we had
secured a little rest my mother and another
lady, who had remained to nurse my
mother in her supposed • illness, borrowed
horses and started on the long, weary and
dangerous journey through the bush to
Brantford, where my father was stationed.
I can remember very clearly how our little
cavalcade looked during that tiip. My
mother had one child tied to her back and
one swinging at each side of the saddle,
while 1, as the eldest, marched along in front
carrying an old and useless pistol." The old
gentleman here showed the reporter an old
firearm, having the name of Col. Wells, a
British officer, engraved on a silver plate on
the handle. This was purchased by Mr.
Gentle, sen., from an Indian, who had
tonnthawked the owner near Detroit. "Wo
went on from Brantford to Toronto, then
Little York, and remained there until 1815,
when we went back to Sandwich. My
father engaged in business there and I
stayed there until 1829, when I decided to

WE often hear the question asked "Why
do the papers not publish this or that
news ?" A writer in Lippincott's Maga-
zine " partly at least answers the question,
when he says :
That newspapers print all they know, is a
popular belief held hy nearly everyone. That
newspapers print more than they know, is a
vulgar beliot held by that large and ignorant
portion of over community which does not read
newspapers to be informed, butto be interested
and, if possible, shocked. That newspapers
print all that they hoar, is a supposition enter-
tained by the people who bring what they think
is news to newspaper offices. That newspapers
print nothing that they hear from irresponsible
sonrces, without investigation, is the troth,
known to all trained newspaper men. Fierce
as competition is, there could to -day be started
in every largo city of tho Basta nowspeper whieh
would outstrip every ath or neWspapor in the vital
interest of its news by simply printing what the
other newspapers refused to print. This news
would all of it, tem bo within legal and conven-
tional bunds of dOcency. Then why not start
such a newspaper? will be &shed. Such news-
papers have been started in plenty, but none
were sustained. The reason, simple though
Seemingly paradoxical, is that the stock in
trade of every solidly established newspaper is
the news it does not print. In other words,.
confidence is the source of every piece of really
valuable news ; and to obtain that confidence
and obtain that news the newspaperman must
daily sacrifice a vast amount of readily print-
able atid vastly roadabletnalter the eubneation
of which would cut him off from his source of

The Raiser's Delusion.
Germany depends largely for its future
on the earache of its Emperor. He is a man
of parts, with a mind of his own, but un-
fortunately he has an exasperating malady
which over -stimulates his nerves and, renders
a calm view of the situation impossible.
Born with an inherited delusion that he is
not responsible to his subjects; that they
are his vessels, to be used according to his
judgment or caprice, he is not in touch with
the democratic drift of the times and is
rather sensitively conscious that the people
do not appreciate either his greatness or the
unrestricted prerogatives which he honestly
believes are the property of the throne. He
chafes at his environment, because he has
not yet been convinced that the Middle
Ages, when kings were everybody and peo-
ples were nobody, have taken their depar-
ture. He is a very interesting personage,
but one who excites considerable solicitude.
