child she was holding slipped from, her
nerveless grasp, and was lost. The third
child was left in another rig coming

sented by Mr, R. D. McGibbon, of Mon-
treal, Proposes to erect hotels at Mon-
treal, Toronto, Efalifa,x, Ottawa, Nia-
gara Falls, and other points in Can-

will be under one management and

ence to the requirements of each place
end the class of patronage to be secur-
ed. Mr. McGibbon states that this is
the preliminary feature of the syndi-
cate's proposal., but that further ex-
tensions of it would probably be made,
including the establishment in Lon-
don, England, of a hotel which would
be a resort for visitors from the vari-
ous colonies of the Empire and the
United States. The hotels are all to
be fire -proof and, the peens have been
prepared by Mr. Bruce Price, of New
