Vanderbilt and his bride, because, emugh his father is worth $150,000,000, he threatens to cid the youth off with a dollar. It really is very hard that Ma young married couple should ihaveto snake ends meet on two mil- lions of dollars. Bat the junior Vanderbilt says be will heroically snake the attempt on that sum of money left him by his grandfather. The unwarranted dismissal by the Liberals of LE. Blackall as Veterinary Iriepentor for NVest Huron, a position Le has filled to the entire satisfaction elan concerned since last April, may lao understood whenthe rush for offices at Ottawa has been increased since the declaration of Mr. Laurier a few days ago that he proposes to elean out the *Utiles. There are said to be 9,000 ap- plications for stalls inthestahles which Use:Lit end administration is preparing Lor new occupants. The official an- sionneement that the work of decapita- tion is to be thorough has added enor- imously to the pressure on the two members of Ottawa. + a Mr. William Patterson is to receive opposition in North Grey. It will be said that this is unkind,. and so forth. But Mr. Patterson is only experiencing a species of historical repetition. He tatered public life in a fight against ir Francis Ilincks, who sought a con- stituency in Brant as a Minister. Mr. Patterson defeated Sir Francis, and Was famous for many years after- wards as the originator of the expres- slon "I beatkinksi" It seems alto- gether probable that Mr. McLaughlin, as the candidate of a united Conserva- tive party, will be able to imitate the Cpntroller, and, in addition, to answer the old problenen, "Who struck Billy Patterson?" ayor Pingree, of Detroit, has been nominated as Republican candidate for the Governorship of Michigan. His selection illustrates the straugely mixed character of the campaign over the border., Mayor Pingree plainly told the Republican managers that if they did not take him up as a can- didate, with a silver platform, the Democrats would. It will be interest- ing to see uhether the majority of the voters of Michigan will support 'Mayor Pingree, a silver candidate, for governor, and at the seine time give their votes to McKinley, the gol& candidate for President. Mayor Pin- gyee's positkm, in any case, demon- strates the strength of the silverites in Michigan. Oan nothing be done to restrain the uthless slaughter of Canadian birds? Wherever birds are found to congre- gate, there are men and- boys, with guns to kill them, half the thne sole- 1yfor the "sport" of seeing them fall dead. At Ashbridge's Bay, Toronto, e, fine colony of cranes are in danger a extermination from this habit, but this is no eiception to the rule, and not only birds of this species, but the beet song birds are in danger of be- coming extinct. There seems to be Cie hope of amendment in the pres- • generation, , but the school popu- lation of to day should everywhere be taught the duty of preserving birds last only for their own sakes, hut as the best help to Man in his battle with ft. structive insects. in the kindergar- ten, much has been done to educate • love for beasts and birds, but pop- ular education in this regard should not end there, but be carried on all through school life. = The extraordinary crop of apples in Canada. thia year is a guarantee that 'this most useful fruit will be cheap. .Apples are excellent food products, and at the same time are valuable for their medicinal qualities. This is what a, famous German authority says Sin the subject; "The apPle is such a Common fruit that -few persons are fa- miliar with its remarkable medical properties. Everybody ought to know that the very best thiog that they cam 40 is to eat apples just before going to bed. The a,pple is excellent brain food, because it has more phosphoric atid in an easily digestible sl.a,pe, than any other fruit k.nown. It excites the action of the liver, promotes 4teind and healthy sleep, and thor- °uglily disinfects the mouth. It also agglutinates the surplus acids of the stomach, helps the kidney secretions ahd prevents calculous growth. while it obviates indigestion, and is one of the best preventives of diseases of the throat. Next to lemon and orange, it is also the best antidote for thirst and craving of persons addicted to the al- cohol and opium habit." These being the merits of the apple, there would be little difficulty in finding a profitable rnaket for even the enormous crop of this year, if they were fully known. THEY'RE FINDING OUT. EditorWillison,of theToronto Globe, made a, speech the other day in which he said: - "It is easy to profess airtime in op- position; it is not so easy to practice virtue in office. It is easy to condemn waste when the enemy is in possession of the treasury; it is not so easy to practice economy when the children of one's own political household are pro- fited by the expenditures. It is easy to cut down the offices when we do not cash, the monthly checks; it is more difficult -when our friends are on the pay roll." It has not taken Mr. Willison very long to discover the grand difference between the party in opposition and in power. What it could do easily it did with much peristence and inueli fuss. But now itlindsit difficult, we imagine, to be even attempted. Talk is cheap. The Latest News. Paris is flooded with bogus U. $, half -dollars, Mt.

Thirteen barns are reported to have been set on fire by the lightning in the vicinity of Chatham, Sunday night.

It forms one -twelfth of the crust of the whole earth, the process of extraeting it has become so nearly perfect that bulk for bulk aluminum is cheaper than copper, and, unlike copper, it is entirely non-poisonous. One morning last week Mrs. John Cariwright was shocked to find that her baby, only 13 days old, was dead by her side. The ehild was apparently quite well the day before, and it must have passed away without a struggle, as it manifested no uneasiness during the night. On Saturday afternoon about two a' deck, while in bathing with two boys about his own size, Alex. Roe, ten years of age, fifth son of L. Roe, of Kincardine was drowned. He was try- ing to swim from the shore to a break- water abbot half way out the south pier, but became exhausted, and. before assistance could be rendered hini was drowned. 'Willie Bayne, son of J. H. Bayne, of Newbury., while playing about the house in his bare feet, got a needle in his heel. The needle broke, and a piece was taken out. Thinking the other piece was still in the heel, the doctor administered chloroform and cut the heel and probed, but found no needle. A short time after the little fellow's grandma found the lost piece of the needle in the side of her shoe. A romantic Marriage took place at St. Thomas, on Thursday night. Twenty four years ago Ambrose Lovelance, of Essex, Ont., and Miss Lena A. Foster, of Providence, R. I., were lovers, but a misunderstand- ing arose and. the engagement was broken of.

A 7 -year-old daughter of H. Bison, Altona, near Stoliville, was aceident- toty shot on Saturday afternoon by her brother, 10 years ofage, who did not know the gun was loaded. The little girl died twelve hours after the accident, in spite of everything that medical aid could do. The consumption of horse and mule meat in France, continues to increase, and there are now 203 "hippophagic butehere in the republic. The Lon- don Chronicle's Paris correspondent says that donkey meat is sold as veal in some third-rate restaurants, and that the southern stew known as boeuf en daub° is made with horse meat so skillfully disguis: d that it cannot be detected. Paris must be a splendid place for a man with a brilliant imagination. On Aug. 0, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. H. Munro, West Zorra, passed peacefully away Abigail Suth- erland, relict of the late David Ross, at the advanced age of 02 years. She was born in the parish of Clyne, Sutherlandshire, Scotland', in 1804, and. was married to David Ross, of the same place, in 1821„ when she was but 17 years of age.

Mr. Inarier's commission to enquire into the Manitoba school matter will consist of Sir Oliver Mowat, as chair- man; Sir Henri. Join de Lotbiniere, and Mr. R. W. Scott, with Mr. H. J. (Moran, of Montreal, the defeated independent candidate in Prescott, as secretary. The composition of the com- mission appears to he somewhat curi- ous, as it consiets of two Irish Roman Catholics, one Euglish Protestant, one French-Canadian Protestant, and no French-Canadian Roman Catholic. Whether a Commission so composed will bave the confidence. of Arch- bishop Lan gevin, and the Roman Ca- tholic minority in Manitoba remains to be seen. The charge of crimin all ibel, preferred. by Editor Crose, of the Herald, against Miter Coldwell, of the News, was heard by P. M. Macdougall, at Wailaceburg Tuesday. The result was that Colwell was formally committed for trial. His own bail in $500 Was accepted. The magistrate said there could be no doubt of thelthelleas character ef the article. He said it was unfortunate that all this trouble was ever church matters. The Rev. M. Buggin , be criticised for telling Col well without) knowing the facts that Cross had not. given up the issoks or money of the church. The case, be held, was clue to Mr. Buggin's misconception of his own duty. Colwell of the News is a kind of newspaper tramp. In 1888 he ran a sheet called the . _Advertiser at Min. eheln He moved front' there and set- tled in the woods of West Lonna where he started it newspaper.

Bangor. Me., Ann 11. -Dr. Wilmer L. Pressey, a Harvard medical student, was kated by lightning at his mother's summer cottage at Islesboro yesterday afternoon, while his right arin rested on the shoulder of his fiance. His body was peculiarly marked by the light- ning bolt, and a bright red scar was left over hia heart. Mr. Pressey, who was 22. left the public schoois oe Ba,ngor to study medicine in Baltimore, later going to Cambridge to continue his course. Meantime he had became betrothed to Miss BMW; whom he met at Isles- boro, down the bay. This summer the young woman's family decidel to came to the hotel at Ryder's Cone, at- treeted there as much by the beauty of the place as by the fondness for it which their daughter bad einiceived. Dis nressey lett it nard winter et worie and stuuy la Camoriden to eorne to lslesnaro, and he brought with him Inc yacht Mallard, for a cruise about the bay with Ma Brown and his daughter. The Drowee stayed at the hotel arid the Inasseys were in a cot- tage on the shore featie north of the hotel and tile steamer Pier. Yesteitiey afternoon all the rese. dents along Penoi,seet Bay were treat- ed to an uausuaily severe electrical storm. Miss Brown was in the Prer- Sey cottage passing the afternoon, and the resr of the family were at the hotel. In the Preesey cottage there were four other persons, Dr. PresseY, his mother, his brother Prank, and a servant, Margie Bissell. They were in- doors. but had no reason to fear the shower, and went about preparing a light lunch. Dr, Preseey was mak- ing it lemonade with the wooden squeezer. Mrs. Pressey, her son Frank, and Margie Bissell were in the dining room in the front part of the house. Dr. Preesey and Miss Brown were in the living room, adjoining and opening out of the front of the house by a wide door. As the ehower appeared to grow in intensity, MASS Brown became timid, She stood by the table and Dr. Pres- sey stooa beside with the lemon squeezer in the right hand. As she expressed some terror at sueh a brit - tient display of lightning he throw big arlsgshutreahrmer. about her shoulders to re- . While Dr. Pressey and his betrothed were thee converseng, the air was suddenly fillerl with a dreadful flame, •h.. aaae, elm an at,,....'xeneenne en by the deafening crash, every inch of air seemed to be crammed with blaze and noise. When the first Shock had cleared away Dr. Pressey lay on the floor, while over him kneeled the distracted girl to vrlitan he had just been °reeving assurallees of safety, try- ing with bare hands to beat ont the flames that burned Ms clothing. Dr. Prcssey had died insto.ntly on the striking of the bolt. The lightning had struck the right nand, which lay as a shelter on the shoulder of MisS Brown, and which also clutched the lemon squeezer. This latter instru- ment was crushed to splinters by the eontact. The lightning struck the back of the young man's head and ran down his arm. Then it went into his right side and then to his left, leaving a bright rel mark on Ins breast,and passed out of the body near the heart, which it stilled forever. The flame o't the fluid must have been in- tense, for it burned the hair and eye- brows on the body severely. Without doubt the presence of Dr. Pressers arm on his fiance's shoulder raved her life. The shattered house was a sorry sight. The lightning had wholly perforated its every part, and signs of itie terrific force were to be seen everye here. In the kitchen, the cooking utensils were piled up in dis- orderly heaps and punctured through and through by the electricity, while every joint of the building seemed to be wrenched apart. Large kettles in the kitchen were boree through as it by a steel pro- jectile and from one side of the house to the other passed an enormous bolt which, measured by the hole it made, must have been several inches in diameter. The ledge an which the house stands was struck by the de- parting lightning, which cut a. piece as lame as a washbowl out of the solid rock. The other ocaupants of the build- ing were affected by the shock, which deafened all of them for many hours. INTERVIEWED THE POPE.

The Conservative party in Canada repre- sents the Angie -Protestant denenuna. lion, senile the Catholics belong to the so-called Liberal camp. This explains the great importance of the recent election in the Dominion of Canada. It now appears certain that a new Cabi- net win be formed, presided over bi leen. 'Wiltrid Laurier, a. Catholic of French origin, nno is muelx esteemed for his honesty and eloquence, and who enjoys a good reputation- even among the,Englisn." L'eaecteur, lion. Mr. Laurier's poc- ket organ, publishes the above and at- tempts to make capital for its leader notwithstanding the Italian newspa- per's lamentable ignorance of Cana- dian politics. A Manitoba gentleman, while dis- cussing Hon. Mr. Watson's probable entry into the Dominion Government, stated to -day that the prospective minister cannot possibly be elected in Brandon, where the erY has been rais- ed that no outsider need apply. "Mr. Watson has been a fallune in Mani- toba politics," he went on, "and if there is any truth'en the stern Pre- mier Greenway natIst be wanting to get him out of the way. .A.t the last general election in Portage la Prairie, with the school agitation and the pres- tige of a portfolio in his favor, Mr. 'Watson only squeezed in by eleven votes. This gentleman expects that the only concession Manitoba will grant will be to make the schools thor- oughly undenorninational." There is considerable of a run in the Montreal corn exchange over the aP- plication, for admission of Alderman Penny, the new M.P. for St. Law- rence division. The election is in the hands of a. committee of nine, and the majority of these gentlemen contend that Mr, Penny is not a business man and should not be admitted amongst those who deal in grain, flour, eugar and molasses, while on the other hand there are those who declare the young politician to be as mUCh of a business man as several who have been already admitted, So the war goes bravely on, and the end Is not yet in sight. This afternoon the thermometer re- gistered over .90 in the shade, being the hottest day known in Montreal since 1889. John Connolly, who lives at 400 St. Dominique -street, succumb- ed to the heat while coming down town ' at 2 o'clock. He was taken to the hos- pital, where he died almost immen dia.tely. Hon. Mr. Tarte and several more Liberals will speak to -morrow at St. Scholastique, County of Two Moun- tains.

Scott 4, ISOW116, Belleville, lint4 A FIBRE Onastois -- Men as a rule care more for comfort than for style, still no man is averse to a neat well hanging coat that keep* its shape through all kinds of knock- ing around. This is orie of the extras - that Fibre Chamois furnishs when used as the inter -lining in men's cloth- ing. It not only makes garments weather proof, providing it healthful warmth which can't be penetrated by the severest wind or cold; but its lifts ible spring and stiffness make the coat or vest fit weli and keep its ptopeas hang till worn completely out.
