A. GREAT SEND OFF.
Liverpool, Sept. 25,—The visit of the
Queen's Own Rifles of Toronto to Eng-
land, which has been greeted everywhere
with such great enthusiasm, muted in
one great final outburst last evening,
when the regiment embarked here for
home on tbe steamer Canada. The men
lined the decks. The docks were literal-
ly packed with people. The.tremendous
cheers of the people were .answered by
the men, only to evoke new tumultuous
salvos, which ceased only when the boat
had proceeded well down the harbor.
Meanwhile the regimental band was
playing lively English airs, but could
e* be heard only once in a while, when the
enthusiastic citizens paused for breath.
R was a roystering crowd of sunburn-
ed warriors that detrained from the two
specials at the Riverside station. In
spite of the strenuous work of the last
few days they were in a 'merry mood,
. and showed no signs of having in any
way suffered by their hard work. They
were a happy crowd, mightily well pleas-
ed with Region(' for the kindliness and
enthusiasm with which they had every-
where been received, elated atthe sin-
cere praise they have won, both from of-
ficers and men of the regular forces,
for the way in which they did their
work, and, perhaps, too, relieved that
the strain of the last few days was over.
The motto adopted by the whole regi-
ment for the time being was good -fellow-
ship, and the Liverpool crowds' respond-
ed with unrestrained express -ons of
friendliness and admiration. If it had
been a reairoent which had crowned it-
self with glory in a, successful war there
could not have been heartier or more
lasting cheers.
The weleame aud Godspeed of the
crowd was spontaneous, lilt the oeca-
Aion was also officially recognized. The
Lord Mayor and iil.s lady ware waiting
at the. station. With them were Sir
Charlee Burnett, head of the western
commend, ana Robert Gladstone, ehair-
man of the Mereey Dock Board. As
soon as Sir Remy PeBatt, commander of
the regiment, and Ledy Pollett, stopped
from the train they were met by this
distinguished party, and Lady Pell:1U
was presented with a splen lid bouquet
Di roses by the Lady Mayoress. There
were no formal addresAes, but many kind

'Xhe embarkatioe aud the departure
of the steamer waa one of the most
-remarkable scenes ever witnessed in
this port. The steamer drew away
from the dock just a few minutes
before 7 o'elock. At this last moment
the Toronto men were, for once, thor-
ough/ beaten. Their cheers, though
good, lusty cheers, o ere nothing to the
cheers of the tremendoue multitude
which had gathered to wish the Cam-
diane Godepeed on their retnrit home.

THE CORONATION.
Little Deviation Froni Pilvious Cere-
monies of the Same Kind,
London, Sept. 26.—One of the first
matters to which the Prime Minister
will devote his personal attention on
Ms return to London will be a draft
programme of the Coronation arrange
ments for next June. It is -so far ad-
vanced as only to need the official im-
primature of the Government before be-
ing submitted to his Majesty the King.
In its main provisions the ceremony
will follow precedent but Canada and
probably Australia and South Africa as
well will send large and more repre-
sentative contingents of troops than on
the last occasion if the proposition is
considered desirable in certain quarters.
It is felt that the rapid expansion of
Canada, for instance,' requires that 'a
more impressive delegotion ehould be
present. The colonial Premiers and
other officials will, of course, receive
invitations.
As a result of the eombined attrae-
tiorts of the Coronation, the pageant of
Empire, the investure of the Prince of
Wales, and. the Imperial Conference
hotels and first class west end hones-
agetts are already having applications
for rooms from all parts of the world.

friend. The train at this moment, run-
ning at forty miles an hour, was almost
at the station. Unmindful of her own
danger, the girl pulled Schultz backward,
but she was the fraction of a second
too late. As she tugged from behind his

R••••••,,••••••,..
Robert Leach Makes the Trip Safely
in His Barrel.
William Hill Navigates the Same
Rapids in Same Barrel.
••••••••••.••••••••••••1
Both Declare That They Will Make
the Trip Another Time.
Niagara Falls, Sept. 25.—Unable to re-
peat his feat of yesterday afternoon and
establish a new record by navigating
the Whirlpool Rapids in a barrel two
days in succession, Robt. Leach is crest-
fallen to -night, However, the declares
he will make another trip on Septette
ber 30th,
Those who were this morning to take
Leach's barrel from the Whirlpool lost
their grip on the rope that secured it.
It was owing to this accident that to-
day's trip bad to be called off, Up till
dark toepieht the barrel could still be
seen bet bieg on its circling course in
the pool. Renewed efforts will be made
to remove it to -morrow. Last night the
barrel was moored securely to the shore
immediately after Leach climbed out.
There were but few who believed that
Leach would make the trip. Many scep-
tical ones made a, hard climb down to
the lower shore to see Leach securely
fastened in the barrdl before the trip,
while others made the more hezardous
climb down to the Whirlpool to see him
taken out. With his body recumbent on
the canvas hammock within the barrel
his peculiar craft airtight, Leach start.
ed on his journey from the old Maid of
the Mist landing, about 200 yards above
the cantilever bridge, at 3.50 o'clock on
Saturday afternoon.
Leach's start was not spectacular. Un-
like other trips of the kind, the barrel
was not towed out to midstream by a
boat. It was merely shoved from the
Americari shore, =tight by the swift cur-
rent, and carried toward the Canadian
shore down the middle of the river
through the swift drift to the first big
waves of the rapids in almost the twink-
ling of an eye. Leach's barrel was bal-
lasted with 1,500 pounds of stone, but
was tosseed off by the first big wave
as though it was nothing more staunch
than a beer keg. When the second wave
was reecheO the barrel ducked under
the water, slisappearing from sight for
only a jiffv. From wave to wave the
barrel was tossed until it reached the
Whirlpool.
On its first journey mead the Whirl-
pool the barrel circled to within a hun-
dred feet of the shore. In the second
circle it was caught in the great mael-
strom and sucked from sight. The third
trip brought the barrel nearer the shore.
On the fourth circle it was within fif-
teen feet of the shore. Just at the
completion of the fifth trip around,
three-quarters of an hour after the bar-
rel entered the pool, it passed within
four feet of the rock at the entrance to
the pool on the Canaditut side. William
Hill, Albert Stevens and others formed
a human chain to Hill, who grasped the
barrel and pulled it ashore. As the bar-
rel grated on the rocky shore Leach
pushed. the small iron cover off the side
and stuck his head out of the opening.
In another moment he was ashore, as-
sisting in moving his strange steel craft.
Leach sustained not a single scratch in
the trip. His barrel shipped about five
gallons of water.
ANOTHER NAVIGATOR.
Niagara Falls, Ont., Sept. 25. — To
win a two -dollar bet, William Hill to-
night shot the lower'or "Devil's nolo"
Rapids between the whiripoot and Lewis-
ton in a steel barrel. Hill made the trip
successfully, but was severely bruised.
The barrel was the same in which Wil-
liam Leach yesterday navigated the
Whirlpool Rapids. had been engage
ed by Leach to secure his barrel and tow
it; around the whirlpool so that it
might be brouttht back up the river for
another trip. Leach was act have gone
through agai* this afternoon, but his
barrel was not secured till 6 o'clock to-
night, and he postponed the trip till Fri-
day.
As Hill was tying the barrel to a
corner of the whirlpool a bystander
said, "Bill, I'll bet you two bones that
you can't go through the lower rapids
to Lewiston in that barrel to -night."
"You're on," said Hill.
Hilltgot into the barrel, which is made
airtight by a cover two feet long
and a foot wide on the side and an-
eounced that he was ready to be shoved
off. So anxious was he to complete the
trip before dark that he did not wait to
have the eoveriog securely fastened. He
was still busy making the lid fast when
the first wave of the lower rapids was
struck, Coosiderable water came
through the small crack left open, and
the intrepid navigator was drenched, He
was not strapped to the canvas ham-
mock within the barrel and was tossed
Ab011t A great deal. His face and hande
were bleeding 'when he was taken from
the barrel at Lewiston.
TRAVELED LIKE EXPRESS TRAIN.
Caught in an eddy a quarter of a mile
below the whirlpool, the barrel was held
for tweety-five minutes, when it wee
finally released by, the eddy it resumed
its journey, travelling part of the dis-
tance at express train speed.
The barrel was overturned three
tittles, but Hill thinks he struck no
rocks on the trip. Last Sunday Cap-
tain l'Arsen's little motor boat Ferro
was twice caught on the rocks in the
lower rapids. It wits when his boat
was lodged on 0 rock within a few feet
of shore that he abandoned her.
William Donald, a riverman, who
was at the whirlpool When Hill started
ou bis trip, telephoned down the river

were bound. down stream. It was pick-
ed up at seven, just one hour and seven
minutes after it started, by James
Humphrey, it Queenston fisherman, in a
motor boat, It was dark when 'Hill
reached Lewiston in the barrel, and it
was with great diffieulty that the barrel
was picked up on the dark river. Hill
collected his wager.
Lewiston is four and a half miles

gated in a barrel, and Hill is the first
man to nutke the Mitts trip in such

LOAN FOR, NAVY.'
Mr. Lloyd -Georges Statement to the
Public in an Interview.
London, Sept. 26.—The following state -
merit concerning a naval loan for in-
creased building of warships was made
by Mr. Lloyd -George, the chancellor of
the exchequer, according to an inter-
view published by Mr. W. T. Stead. in
the Review of Reviews:
Those who delude themselves into im-
agining that we are nearer our last
penny than our protectionist neighbors
should not forget that so far we have
at least paid our way without having to
borrow money with which to build ships
—which is more than some of them can
say.
And although he who goes a -borrow-
ing goes a -sorrowing, and we shall keep
on paying our way from day to day out
of revolue, nevertheless if the beggar -
my -neighbor game is to be played out to
the bitter end we have still the untouch-
ed reserve of it naval loan available to
fall back upon—it resource of which our
competitors have tong ago had to avail
themselves.

POOR GIRL
MURDERED
•01.1.141,101•101.1,11,
Her Father Found Her Mutilated
Remains in a Cellar,
Left Home in Saltford to Attend the
Goderich fair.
Was Last Seen on Exhibition Grounds
Talking to an Italian.
•
Ooderieb, Ont., Sept. 25.—Lying in
the cellar of an empty house, near the
fair grounds here, her throat cut from
ear to ear and all her clothing, with the
exception of her shoes and stockings and
hat, lit another part of the basement,
the body of Mies Lizzie Anderson, of the
Village of Saltford, was found by her
father this neoening. The finding Of the
body was the culmination of it earch
commenced since Tuesday night, when
the youog woman vole last seen, on the
fair grounds, and was the revelation of
another most brutal murder mystery on
which Inspector Wm. Greer, of the On-
tario Provincial Police, will start work
to -day.
Mks Anderson was only 18 years of
age, and lived with her father in the
old Lash= Hotel at Saltford. Her
father, William Anderson, is a laborer,
In the saute old building where lived
father and daughter there boarded a
number of Italians'some of whom are
employed on the Ontario West Shore
Railway as °obstruction and track men.:
On Tuesday last the young woman ex-
pressed a desire to go to the Northwest
'Exhibition, which is being held at God-
eeich, and left her village home quite
early in the morning. She was seen
on the fair grounds several times (lure
ing the day, but failed to return home
that evening. When she did not appear
next morning, her father notified Chief
Postlethwaite and Sergt. Moore, of the
Goderieh police force, and asked them to
locate his daughter. 'or four days the
police searched, but found no trace of
the girl other than she had been seen
on the fair grounds talking to an Ital-
ian at seven o'clock on Tuesday even-
ing, Her disappearance was a complete
mystery.
The unfortunate girl had come from
her home in Saltford, a little village
across the River Maitland, to attend the
fall fair here fast Tuesday afternoon,
promising to return home in the even-
ing. Early in the evening a boarder at
the Saltford home met the young girl,
and asked her to accompany him home,
to which she replied that she would not
leave before o'clock. Her •brother
waited for her at the main exit, but fail-
ed to notice her on the way out. The
girl not returning home that night led
to great anxiety, and immediate search
was instituted by the family. The tear
that she might have been persuaded by
some of the Midway performers to leave
town led to a seach by the local police
in the neighborhood where fall fairs
were in progress. No trace could be
found, however, and infOrmation as to
her whereabouts was not forthcoming
from those who had been in conversa-
tion with her on the fair grounds that
evening.
As her father was working every day,
tt was impossible for him to assist the
pollee in the search for his daughter,
but this morning he started out, accom-
panied by several neighbors, and came
to Goderich for the purpose of search-
ing all the vacant buildings in the vicin-
ity of the fair grounds, thinking that
probably his daughter luul been taken
ill, or had been lured there. His con-
jecture proved correct. The search par-
ty had investigated only one or two
houses'when they entered the One
where the gruesome discovery was to be
made. They went through the house,
and upon entering the cellar, which was
in a neglected condition, Mr. Anderson
and John Doak. one of his neighbors,
stumbled across the nude body of the
young woman. It was evident that
the crime was a most brutal one. Blood-
stained the floor, and from the condi-
tion of the body it was evident that it
had been there at least three days.
Her throat had been cut with a razor,
Tfer elothing was not piled neatly on the
floor, but was strewn about, its though
torn from her body.
Immediately on the discovery of the
hotly, the police were notified, and the
remains were removed to an undertaking
establishment, where Coroner Holmes
will open an inquest on Monday after-
noon. '

HOW TO WASH WINDOWS.
A. Method That Saves Both Time
and Labor.
Strange as it may seem, says the
Storekeeper, there is a, right and wrong
way to wash windows, and as this opera -
Lion is usually dreaded, the following
method will doubtless be eppreeiated, as
it saves both time and labor. Choose a
dull day, or at least a thee when the
sun is not shining On the windows, for
when the sun shines on the window, it
cOnsOS it to be dry streaked, ho matter
how muck it is rubbed. Take a painter's
brush and dust them inside and out,
washing -all the woodwork inside before
touching the glass.
The latter must be washed slowly in
warna water diluted with ammonia --do
not use soap. Use a small cloth with a,
pointed stick to get the dust out of the
corners, wipe dry with a soft piece of
cotton cloth—do not use linen, as it
makes the glass dirty when dry. Polish
with tissue paper or old. newspaper. You
will find that this can be clone in half
the time taken where soap is used, and
the result will be brighter windows.
