Statement of a Veteran German.

A Berlin despatch says: In answer
to an inquiry by the German Tem-
perance Society, Count alluelsen-Has-
sler, the most popular of the retired
Gmenan Generals and a supposed to-
tal abstainer, has written as fon
lows: -
"During twenty'five years I drank
neither boor nor wine, and never took
spirits, except on the rarest occas-
ions. On the Emperor's birthday I
took a small quantity of champagne.
In Ian, after a' serious lung affec-
tion, the physicians advised me to
take two glasses of wine a day. ' I
soon recovered, and, no one is better
now than 1. I am convinced that a
man wealth better without aleehol.
Spirits aro the worst, and beer is al-
most as bad, because it causes fa,
{ague and creates a thirst. -For the
soldier, water, coffee and tea are
best."

C..P.R. TO MAKE OFFER
Big ' Corporati—on. May Get the
Fast Atlantic Service. •
An Ottawa despatch says: Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy, president of
the C. P. R., was in the city on
Tuesday, and had a conference
with several Ministers. It is said
the. object of his visit was in con-
nection with the fast Atlantic ser-
vice. When tenders were called for
recently for such service the 0, P. R.
did riot put in a bid, but now that
the Government has definitely decid-
ed not to accept either of the offers,
it is the general impression that the
only corporation which can grapple
successfully with the problem which
has been engaging the attention of
the public men and. the, press of Can-
ada for the past ten years is the
Canadian Pacific. No information is
forthcoming regarding the nature of
the interview which Sir Thomas had
with the Government, but it would
not be a matter of surprise if with-
in the next few days the announce-
ment were made that a contract had
been entered into, under which the
C. P. R. will agree to furnish a
weekly 20 -knot service from Quebec
in s•ummer and Halifax in winter.
