TORONTO'S ALL -CANADA .EXIII-
BITION.
"Educational and Entertaining, etg-
gressive and Progressive,"are the very
appropriate watch -words adopted by
the Toronto Int:Austria Exhibition
this veate which will beheld front Au-
gust -27th to September Sth. This is
the t-irentvaeecond sucessive year of
Caneda's great Exposition at Toronto,
and each year has not only seen an im-
provement in the arrangements as
compared with the years that have
gone but the quality of the stock is
very ahead of what it, wee at. the
be inningethus proving the inestimable
vaine of Fairs such as that held annu-
ally at Toronto. It is an old story to
say that the exhibitions immediately
approaching will be superior to all its
predecessors, but it ran safely be said
that arrangements have been made,
and negotiations are pending, that
warrant the statement that the Toro-
nto Fair of 1990 willfully maintain the
reputation it has gained- of being the
hest of all that are annually held. A
good deal of the space has already been
taken up,and a number of entries have
been made, but there are so many di-
visions comprised in the prize lisawith
its 131 classes and 335,000 in premiums
that there is ample provision for aU ;
and, talking of those divisions, it is in-
teresting to note that there are no
fewer than 55 in class 128, knitting.
•shirts*. quilts, cloths. etc.; .351 in claes
54, poultry ; and an average of 16 or 17
in each of the two doz classes devoted
to horses and cattle. Thts will giye
some idea, Pot only of the scope of
Toronto's Great Exposition, but also of
the opportunities offered to secure a
prize. It is a little early te refer to
what is promised in the way of enter-
tainment, but when it is stated that
330,00015 spent annually OD this •de-
partment, visitors have ample guaran-
tee that they will be abundantly pro-
• vided for, and the admission to the
Toronto Exhibition with its myriads
of attractions is •only 26e. Entries
close on August 4tInand prize lists can
be had by addressing It J. Hill, Mana-
ger Iudustrial Exhibition, Toronto.

Skaguay, Alaska, July 16, via. Se-
attle, Wash., July 25.—The work of
delimiting the provisional boundary
in the disputed Alaska -Canadian fere
ritory, having been completed in that
part crossing the Dalton trail and
touching the Porcupine district, the
Americans in the district find that
nearly one-half of the Porcupine gold
mines are in British territory. It
had been the general opinion for a
long time that the mines, and in fact
the entire Porcupirre district, were
on the American side. Much of the
Dalton Toll road, leading to Porcu-
pine City, also lies within Canadian
territory, according to the survey.
The American miners in the Poreu-
pine have addressed a protest to
President McKinley.
The commission will ;be in the vi-
• cinity of Skaguay a month, delimit-
ing the provisional line • on White
Pass and Chintoot Pass.
The Porcupine placer mines, it is
estimated, will yield 3250,000 this
year.

In these days of imitations it is well for
everyone to be careful what he buys.
Especially is this necessary when a matter'

There are so many imitations of Doan's.,

absolutely worthless—that we ask you to -
be particular to see that the full name and

not getting the original Kidney Pill, which
