tisement in. THE TIDIES.
Sensible German Farmer.
At the North Waterloo Conservative
convention an old German farmer gave
some practical experience of life. He
said, `'I am not much of a political
man, but I notice how things change in
a few yearsitime in this country. -About
twenty years ago I would take to the
store one big basket of eggs, and bay
eemething--sugar, tea, coffee. They
looked very small in the basket those
times. I take them in ray hands, give
them to my wife'and say. 'Here is all
for the very big basket of eggs. They
are only worth six cents a dozen. The
sugar, tea and coffee high in price -all
taxed, so little quantity to get. Now I
see so much difference, I take the
basket of eggs to the store, sell the
eggs for twelve orififteen cents, and buy
sugar, tea and coffee, such things for
the house, and the quantity pile up on
the counter. leaned take them in my
hands to give to my wife. I say to the
storekeeper, just let 'em wait there till
I fetch my team around 1",
• Better Commercial Outloole.
Henry Clews, the New York banker,
says in his lateab financial circular: -
"In the meantime, all ale commerc-
ial symptoms continue to be encouraging
The aupyvard taxidermy in, blast,. prices „of,
;merchandise 'becomes more marked,
which means not only a sustained in-
crease in the demand for goods, but
also a growth of confidence among the
trading community. We have witness-
ed this week a pronounced advance in
petroleum, cotton aod beef. Coal has
also been marked up, and also silver,
thus showing the tendency of products
to seek a higher valuation. It is an
evidence that the country its waking up
from its long exieting condition of
pessiraisra, that the brighter side is be-
coming visible to those engaged in
business undertakings. The outlook
for the crops generally has materially
improved of late, What this country
particularly wants this year, however,
is a good yield of corn, and not excessive
ones in either wheat or cotton. The
two latter crops can be too large to be
..of benefit, while the former cannot be,
as it is a product that never deteriorates
with age, and makes the most solid. and
healthy food for both man and beast-.
In it we have little competition with
other nations, and no fear of any. It is
therefore entitled to be considered the
Ring of crops in this country, and has
dethroned cotton, which used to be so
considered."
There is a boom in petroleum. As
usual, it starts in the United States,
and we in .Canada are very quickly
affected by it. in fact, the develop-
ments over the border, bid fair,
unless they get a setback, to result in
a most energetic development of every
oil property in Petrolea and neighbor-
hood. The advance in the price of
Pennsylvania crude during the last
• week or two has been enormous. The
price of crude at New York at the
• opening of the year was 96 cents per
barrel. On Feb. 1 the quotation was
$1 01 1-4, on March 1 Si 05, and on
April 1 $1 14 1.4 • Since April 1 an
advance has been more rapid On
Thursday, Apri111, the price adually
paid was $1 57 1-2, while on Monday,
April LS, $2 was offered, and $2 25
was demanded. This is a considerable
higher price than has prevailed fat
nearly twenty years past' A few years
• ago the quotation was 82 cents, so that
the price above marks an advance of
• $1 43 a barrel over a year ago, snd
$ L 80 a barrel over Jan. 1, Compared
with the lowest point reached in the oil
market, 50 dente in October, 1302, the
quotation made on April 16 marks an
advance of $1 75 a barrel. Even at
the lowest price big - profits will be
•read.e by the oil men. The apparent
Owlets of the ecent rapid advance,
• according to Bradsbreet's, are the
gradual drying up of the old well's, the
failure Of he wella to produce what
Was expected, and the gradual using
tip of available stooks of crude, bring-
ing the trade face to face with the
• proepects of an Actual scarcity in the
•inipply of this great natural, product.
Hence the rapid advance,in prices

The overdrowding of the professions
• is now a fruitful source of controversy,
but the chief lesson it teaches is that
the professions are subject to the same
economic laws as other occupatims.
There are too many clerks, business
men, mechanics, laborers and farmers,
and the professions, though overcrowd-
ed, are far less so than other callings.
It is the' newness of the condition
which excites attention. This general
surplus of effort caused economists at

The shortage of beef in the United
States is beginning tobe felt in Ontario.
Farmers as a class are not slow to take
advantage of a scarcity, and within the
past week, beef has risen 50 cents per
hundred -weight in the centres. The
• scarcity in the United States created
more of a demand for the Canadian
article in Britain, and the farmers are
• holding back for a good stiff price from
the ship.=pers. Not only has beet ad-
vanced.price, but hides have also
risen in -value, and 1 cent a pound more
is demanded this week. There is no
duty on the raw material between Can-
ada and the United States, and Canad-
ian hides will find their way across the

The bicycle business is experiencing
such a boom throughout the United
States that a bicycle famine is threat-
ened. A manufacturing establishment
which is shipping from 1,500 to 2,000
wheels a week is unable to #11 its
orders, and in some cases checks sent
to manufacturera by persons who were
unable to get wheels at retailers have
been returned, as it was impossible to
supply the goods, although some of
the factories are running night and day,
The situation is partly due to a lack of
the steel tubing, which is the raw
material of bicycles. This has been
manufactured in the 'United States
only a few years and the plants are
apparently no equal to the suddenly
increased demand, while the foreign
establishments which formerly supplied
it, supposing the American market lost,
have cut down their product to what
was needed in their own countries:
A Fine Legal Point.
• St. Thomas, April 14e -Although
John A. Hendershott, has been found
guilty of murder; and is now only
awaiting the day when he will be cal-
led upon to expiate the crime of having
been party to the murder of William
Henry Hendershot, he beset least one
good trait. Ho raised in all about $2,
500 upon his property to conduct his
defen&e, and Welter, his co-conspirator,
added to this amount about $200, mak-
ing in all about $2.700. The money, it
is said has been exhausted. But sever-
al sniall creditors in the city have not
yet been paid, and this seems to bother
him greatly, and as a result he has en-
gaged a sOlicitor to raise money by a
chattel mortgage, butit is contended by
the majority of the legal fraternity in
this city that when he was sentenced to
death he was, to all intent, dead to the
world, therefore could not execute a
document of any kind. This is, indeed,
a fine legal point, and has nob pre-
cedent in Canadian, jurisprudence.
Both prisoners are gradually wasting
away, and it is plainly evident that the
mental strain under which they are
laboring is telling greatly upon them.

dershott, who appears to be twenty
years older than he was w he n • ar-

• A State House on VIre,. •
Illinois' magnificent $5,000,000
State House at Springfield, caught
fire in the Senate wing shortly
after noon Saturday, and in a few
mon-lents ib looked as if that portion
would be gutted. The fire is sup-
posed to have originated in one of
the committee rooms, but from what
cause it is not kuown. An Marva
was at once turned in, and two steam
and one chemical engine responded.
The Fire Marshall, Fountain, soon
discovered he would be unable. to
centre]the fire with that force, and
so turned in a general alarm, calling
for all the engines in the city. The
fire spread rapidly, and soon the
whole of the immense building was
filled with smoke,so that it was with
great difficulty that the firemen
could find their way through the
labyrinth of hallways and rooms of
the upper part of the Capitol. In
the wing of the Capitol, where the
fire was raging, was where the
auditors of the state treasury and
the officers of the insnrance commis-
sioner and egricultural board are
located. When th.e fire broke. out
• wild confusion prevailed aniong the
clerks of the various departments,
and Seen the halls were filled with
excited girls and women. The chiefs
of departments remained cool, how-
ever, and in a few rainutet all of the
valuable papers and records were m
locked up the fireproof vaults.
Assistant Treasurer Whittemor at
once ordered his clerks to lock up all
the money and books of his office
and then with them beat a retreat.
At 1:45 p ni. the firemen at last got
the themes under control. It is es-
timated that the damage to the
Senatcewing of the State House will
amount to from $75,000 to $100,000.
Fatal Raalway Accident.
One of the saddest fatalities that
has ever -happened in the City of
Brantford for some time, occurred
on Saturday, April 13th, at 10.20 a.
ne.'when an old man named Thomas
McAdams from the vicinity of Paris
was struck and instantly killed by a
G T. R. train from Goderich. Mr.
McAdams was nearly eighty years
of age and was driving inbo the city
that morning, and when' on the G. T.
R. crossing- near the institution for
the blind he was struck. The buggy
was also coxnpletely demolished and
the horse was so badly injured about
the back that it was found necessary
to shoot the poor animal. The old
gentleman was very deaf, and did
not hear the warning signal. He
drove in front of the approaching
train,the engine of which struck the
buggy square in the midclle,throwing
the unfortunate occupant a distance
of some yards, and fracturing his
skull. The train was stopped,. and
all hands went to render assistance,
only to find their worst fears realized;
McAdams was quite dead, aiid all
that could be done was to tenderly
place the remaine in the leaggege car,
and bring it.to• the' depot : Death
must have been 'inttantanecnis and
the victim could scarcely have had
time to realize laisawful position be-
fore he was hurled into eternity.
When the Timms correspondent step-
ped off the train the body still had
the warmth of ,life in it. The' re-
mains presented a ghastly spectacle,
the top of the head was completely
smashed in, with pieces of skull pro-
truding through the brain. The old
gentleman bad long white locks of
haie.and those were stained with
blood and the ground in the vicinity
was also saturated. It is stated that
the train hands observed all necessary
precautions, but when the rig was
first seen it was inapossible to slow
up in order to avoid the collision.
Fiendish Crime.
Winnipeg April 15. -One of the
most diabolical crimes imaginable
was attempted onFriday night, when
a man named William Farr, employ-
ed as engineer on the Oanadian Paci-
fic Railway, endeavored to rid him-
self of his family by burning them to
death. About two o'clock his wife,
who, with- her four children, were
asleep at home, Farr being absent on
duty, was awakened by the smell of
smoke; and, rushing downstairs,
found the mat in the hall' on fire,
and flames spreading in several differ-
ent places. Her screams awakened
the family next door, and, assistance,
coining promptly, the five was ex-
tinguished. Then it was made ap
parent that a, most deliberate atterimt
had been made to set fire to the
house. Coal oil had been scattered
all over the down stairs portion.
Every avenue of escape would have
been cut off bad the flames been
given time to make progress, and
Mrs. Fair 'heal her little ones would
undoubtedly have been cremated
with the house.
Farr, it appears, had heen living a
double life, and while married and
the father of a family was engaged
to an estimable young 'lady named
Robinson, who works in a Main
street millineryestore. 116 first met
Miss Robiusou at Minnedose, five
Yeat'S ago while tanning on the
Manitoba st North-western Railway,
and induced her to come, three and
a half years ago, to Winnipeg. He
ealled pretty rugularly at the store
for her at noon, and almost invari-
ably took tea with her on Sunday
evenings at herboarding house, after-
wards accompanying her to W6st-
minster church, Where his brother-
in-law, Mr. Russell, a Main street
booksellet, also attended. His
marriage with Mies Robiriedrt had
been postponed npon one pretext or
another, genteelly OA aeetront of
failure to secure money that was
expected, but she finally had her
trousseau made, and the Wedding
was to haVe taken place in June.
Farr WAS absent from his engine for
about an hoar op an hour and a half
After midnight, and his Whereabouts,

luctance to admit the suecesee of patent •
medicine. usually evinced by physierane is .
rapidly giving way as far as Dood'se
Kidney Pills are concerned. The cases of
Dr. Bose and Dr. McCormick, who pub-
lished • details of their recovery from
diabetes and Bright's disease, through the
agency of this remedy, were the first -
attack on the citadel of their skepticism
-
and now it appears as if the remarkable
recovery of Mr. G.K. Cent, of thie city,
the details of which have been already
transmitted to the press, would 'complete -
what has been so auspiciously began. The

published interviews with Mr. and Urge
