A Mr. Beoiquel, of Sandwich, a wine manufacturer, wets induced to conte to the mushroom city eLnd start the manufacture of wines; mineral waters, vinegars, etc. Ilo is there still, one of the only two men who have stayed.. The other is Mr.Bisignette, who is now mak- ing .organ pipes on a small scale,-- A factory was erected for Mr. Beei- quel and tn.achinery pelt in. A car- load of currants and a• carload .;t sugar were sent to J:Ionsall and teamed to St Joseph. Some days later they were teamed back and sold at less than wholesale prices.- Mr. Beeiquel, who is said to have sank about 0,000 in the scheme, is still desperately waiting and watch- ing at St. Joseph. He showed the News man .through the factory on Saturday. The wine vats and mineral apparatus are still there, a little dust -covered, but still unworn by use: " This is the factory par- lor," he said, pointing to a little dusty, lumber -strewn room ; "this' the office"—both bare and unfinish- ed as they were two or three years ago. " I hope to start making wine next fall. The place looks a little bad new, but come and see us then." " But how will you get your - grapes here ?" " Oh, we hope to have a harbor by that time, and will bring them in by boat." • - TEE PALACE MARL. But the richest part of the story concerns the hotel. It has been building for six years, and is still unfinished. The keeper of the key,_ a French-Canadian youth, unlocked the doors for the writer and show- ed hint through the buildinge It is big enough for any cosniopolita'n hotel. The glass in the windows' alone cost 83,000, and the whole building, unfinished as it is, is said to have cost over $100;000. The bar and the barber's shop are the only furnished rooms as yet, Some time ago the• whole interior fur- nishings of the old Balmoral Hotel in Montreal were bought and ship- ped here, apparently without re- gard to the cost of freight, or whether the stuff could be used or not, As a matter of fact, much of it was absolutely useless—brok- en doors and mouldings, odds and ends of furniture in various states of disrepair, and not °worth half the cost of freight. A largo ticket office sign, stating that railway and steamship tickets for New England and European points could be purchased there is one sample of the amazing folly dis- played in paying useless transpor- tation. The hotel is fitted with an electric light plant, and when finished would probably have accommodation for 200 guests. The rich. Balmoral bar fixtures are installed, and in • and adjoining room aro set up four barbers' chairs and the usual fixtures. "But what on earth are they going to do with the place when it is finished?" was asked. 'We don't know; nobody knows,' came the solemn reply.- "The little hotel across the way sometimes doesn't take in a dollar a day. But they say they are going on with. this one, andwe are waiting now for them to come back and start work again." NO FAIRY TAt)C. and list year anoriefunrls were asked for to continue the work, 111 r.

Ile was show. the "harbor." The needs of tufo new uity and its wonderful futurewere explained to Bila, ile left, and shortly aftorwtuds work was begun on the pier that was to form. the harbor, As has already been explained, there is absolutely no natural protection for vessels at that point. In is exposed on three sides to every storm that blows. One can see up and down the coast for miles, the water is shallow, the bench narrow and the city to be served by the wharf still in the clouds. There was no popular demand for any such wharf; no petition had been circulated by the resi- dents of Huron County. In fact, every one that The News representative talked to was emphatic in. stating that a wharf there would be practically useless, and the money spent on it might just as well be thrown in the lake. There is not at pre- sent even a fisherman's boat at the point tit use a wharf when built. Liberals and Conservatives alike all through the county scoff at the scheme of a harbor there, and none defend ib. There does not seem to bo even the excuse one might expect to find for such an uncalled-for expenditure of pubtio money—to wit, the making of votes. For in the district that St. Joseph serves there are only about 100 French - 'Canadian voters, and of these all bat ton or fifteen are already regarded as Liberal Voters. Indeed, it is said that even ir, this settlement there is no demand for a wharf. The only people who seem to want it are the promoters of the city of St. Joseph, and to the naked eye that city has no future ahead of it savethat it might possibly hocomea small summer resort. and in that ease the taxpayer usually expects the proprietors to bear the expense of building a. wharf. Iiut, despite all this, the second appro- priation of 83,000 Was inade, and for two or three months hast summer and fall some thirteen or fifteen Hien, under the direc- tion of Dlr. bred Belanger, were at work building cribs for the pier, according, to plans prepared by departmental engineers. The. work was done by clay hLbor, and spectators of the work as it progressed will tell you with a smile how they watched the workmen wheel small barrows full of sand and stone to the edge of the water and dump the loads in, only to have the next Some render practically useless the work done. The net result of the work done last year has already been told above. To the layman, it would seem as though nearly every dollar spent has been wasted. Only the crib nearest shore is now lying in its original position. The one end of that. erib lied in about two feet of water. The other end lies high and dry on shore. The other cribs built seem to Brave either been partly destroyed by the storms or else they have been washed some considerable dis- tance away from their original positions. A nineteen APPROPRTATIo`. • One would think that ono such waste of public money would be enough. Bob nob so. In the estimates of the Public Works Department for this year there is another ,$3,000for St. Joseph's harbor. Now plans have been prepared. Instead of having spaces between the cribs, according to the original plains, it is now proposed to build a continuous crib-work—a much more expensive piece of work. According to the present plans, the wharf will be 580 feet long. And at the end of that 580 feet there will be a depth of just 10 feet of water! Another 80 or 100 feet there will give a depth of 11 feet of water. Dir. Dray, of Toronto, ennineer of the Public Works Department, who has charge of work done in Western Ontarin, asserts that the timbers already on the spat will suffice to complete the pier, and that the cribs washed out of place can be towed back and properly moored. He believes that another $5,000 would complete the wharf. Men in the neighborhood of St. Joseph doubt if three tunes the amount will finish the work as planned. But, be that as it may, even after the $15,000 (allowing the lowest estimate of cost) is spent and the wharf finished, there will still ho no harbor; no vessels can tie op in a store; it is not known that any vessels Does the incredulous reader im- will want to tie up in any case and no agine that this is something like a vessel drawing more than 10 feet of water fairy tale that is being told him? Wait ! Thero is more to come yet, just as amazing and just as true and the records thereof are writ in the accounts of the department of Public works of Canada. The ramifications of Mr. Cantin's scheme aro many. A Chicago brick manufacturer was brought, induced by Cantin's persuasive powers. He draped several.. thou- sands and then left in disgust, A half -built residence is the monu- ment he left behind to commemor- ate his foolishness. Other capital- ists were approached, invested small amounts in enticing paper schemes, and were glad to get out without 'further loss. Campbell, after investing the bulk of his for- tune variously estimated at from 860,000 to 8100,000, broke down in health and died some months ago. A year or so ago tt company was formed by Cantin to carry on the work. The incorporator) were: Louis D. Gouzaque Routhier, M.D I, of Ottawa ; Joseph. P. Pr.0 dhomme, manufacturer, of Ottawa ; Tous- saint Gideon'Coursolles, translator of the Dominion Parliament ; Jos. T. R. Laurendeau, manufacturer, of Montreal, and S. T. Joubert, 1The manufacturer, of Montreal. company was incorporated under the name of the St. Joseph Land Improvement and Maufaoturinty Company, with a capital stock of $600,000. They secured a charter to carry on the general business of building and operating a city. Last mutter work on the new hotel, stores, etc., which had been interrupted by leek of funds, was vigorously resumed. A race -track was planned and some of the city. lots were ploughed up and prepared for the purpose. Dr. Routhier, himself, spent several months in the place superintending opera- tions. Mose nt1TL 11 A Heiman a. tut in order to. have it Well-equipped thy,: a harbor Was necessary, 'i`Itis had been foreseen by Cantin, and two years ago he succeeded in getting.an apprepria- tform of $5,000 put in the Public Werke eetimate•.s for a wharf "at St. Joseph's ,harbor," The money was expended in etting out timbers for the crib work, etc. otbittpyr further was done that summer; can use the wharf. "Whitt is it all for?" The News repnrt- or asked half a dozen citizens of the neigh- boring towns of Zurich, Hensel] and Clin- ton BLANK FonLrsl1NESS. "Nobody knows. Everybody thinks it's blank foolishness, and overyhndy wonders ae the unnaitigtited folly of the whole dung," was in effect the unanimous reply. The only attempted vindication carne from a man who was interested in the Sb .To eph scheme. He suggested half-henrtodly that vessels eould bring in coal and lumber for the .distriet and so save high rail wee, freight rates. Even he did not advance the idea that St. Joseph would ever realize the hopes of its promoters, rind develop either into a manufacturing town or into a summer resort. And to the objection dint the cost of teaming lumber or coal from St Joseph to inland towns would be much more than the difference in freight rates, ho had no reply. "I wish you could talk to Mr. Cantin," ho said. "He could make you see. things in a different light." Bub Dir. Can tin's present whereabouts was unknown at St. Joseph. It was nl-n unknown when building operations would be resumed by the St. Joseph's Land Improvement and Manufacturing Com - puny. They were to htive started the workmen again on March lst, but no signs of returning: activity are yet visible. • Meanwhile a new company, said to be practically identicalwith the above cam - NAV: isapplying htrter. at the tt for a charter p ) present session of Parliament to build a canal from some point on Lake Huron, presumably St. Joseph, to some point on Lake Erie, presumably Port Stanley. The; estimated cost of the canal is a Wile of $70,000,000. They tell many funny stories in Huron County of Cantin and his schemes, hie generous free•handedness with money, his 9p enial trains and his persuasive eloquence. Colenms of interesting reeding matter' could be Written of his brilliant coups and his amazing nerve. But for the prosent enough has been said. The last opinion of the situation The News reporter heard as he left for Toronto was from a Zurich ran: "Well, if the (roverntnent is going to throw money away, I suppose they might as well threw it round here as anywhere. I hope they'll carry that wharf out far enough, anyway, So. giveus a place to fish off and sit, and watch the waves come in;" A.

He drove into the city, and went into the railroad restaurant clown by the tracks for a cep of coffee that tasted as if it had been expos- ed to the dust -storm minus the hot wind, and after eating one of the varnished haul sandwiches taken out of the glass globe on .the counter, he walked down between the tracks toward the depot ware- house,leaving lois horse and go-cart up by the restaurant. "The wind won't blow your horse• away," the restaurant roan ventured to remark when .Jacob asked hint to keep an eye on hien. -"It'll blow through him." Jacob made no reply as he fought his way down between the, burning rails, shielding his eyes from the storm'0f cinders and grit that roar - eel through the railroad yards. Ho gained a place of vantage close to the edge of the platform, where, in spite of the awful heat, a large and miscellaneous crowd gathered. By two o'clock, When the agent threw open the door and began the sale, there 'were two hundred persons present. inost of them men, .who were snore or less in the habit • of joking their wives about shopping for bargains. "Now then, gentle- men," began the agent, a young man of the distinctive type, "it's a beautiful day if you don't mind a little rise in real estate. The sale's about to commence. Don't crowd.

He could not have told why be made a bid on that particular trunk. It was a cheap steamer trunk, one .handle was gone, and two slats across the bottom had been torn off. "Here you are, now," said the agent, looking clown at Jacob, who had started the bidding at ono dol- lar, "one dollar for a brand new trunk, boiler -riveted, silver -mount - ted, full of souvenirs from the courts of Europe, custom house charges prepaid and the surcingle strap thrown in. One fifty, one seventy-five.• two -dollars ! Thank you, sir ! Two and a quarter. There is no telling what is in it. These steamer trunks- are sumoe tines rich in experience and sun- dries.

Going, going and gone to the groom here and many happy returns of the day1" Jacob grimly paid over the money ; and stolidly';: careless of the chaffing crowd, he shouldered the trent, which was not heavy, and made his way back to the go cart. The wind blew harder than ever ; the cinders and dust whirled about hull; and twice he stopped and let the trunk down, as the blinding storm tore at his' purchase as if sullenly jealous of his prize. When he drove up in front of the porch where he had bean sitting in • the morning, hie wife ca.tne to the door.

For a Moment thn woinan in the doorway seemed about to burst into a torment of rage at the sight of the trunk. . Then she turn- ed around and went back into the kitchen without a word. Jacob carried the trunk into the kitchen, end set it down. "I'll have to open it with a. hatchet. There aint no key, "he muttered as he went out of the back door and picked •up an old hatchet that was lying on the ground there.

President Roosevelt is regarded as a ready assistant to newspaper men, and it is no uncommon thing for him to diearse freely state and political matters with cur- respdndents. Bat there are occ•:tsionswhen his frienllinees is put to severe tests. One of these cavae soon after the Roose- velt family settled et Saganrore Bill last summer, when hsany greatly exag- gerated stories of the exploits of the Roosevelt children found their itay into the columns of the daily press. The :President decided to put en end to these stories, and one day summoned 0 corres- pondent who had been active in supply- ing 'leispaper with this class of news. The President lost no time in stating the 'object of the summons. "I have noticed, Mr. , that a great ninny ..tones have appeared in the regarding the exploits of my chil- dren. Tuley have been very good stories, indeed, and I assume you are responsible 'for. then]. I have only one fault to find with them, and that is that they are :not strictly accurate.

The..veporter ,sats up. eagerly, even if 'somewhat crestfallen over the rebuke, as .the Preeirlent continued: "Mrs. Roosevelt and T are going riding just as soon as you depart. We shall ride 'cross 'country, jumping exactly twenty-seven fenees'and six ditches, and when we return ive shall go bathing in our riding=habits. My •sou Theodore i, hunting this .morning, and I have just received a bulletin from the jungle in- forming me that he 'itas already killed two 'elephants and a tiger." The reporter saw through the Presi- dent's little play, but there was no way to escape. "Isn't Theodore a wonder!" cried the President, and then continued: "Archibald, my second son, went out a little visile ago to fish for tadpoles to be used as bait for whale. Ethel is tearing down the windmill at this very minute—step around the house 'and you can 's'ee her. Kermit, aged about seven, has just thrown as 200 -pound secret ser- vice man 'two bouts out of three in a catdh-as-catch-can wrestling match, and (Quentin, my baby, is even now setting fire to the back part of the house. "There, Mr. , , you have what I should caul a fine story!" said Mr. Roose- velt, in all seriousness. "The faets are exactly right, and I trust you will not exaggerate if you use' them. After this, please come direet.'to me, and I will give you these stories about my family when- ever you desire them. Delighted behave seen you. Good morning." Real Aristocracy. The real aristocracies of Europe, such as the consular families of Rome and the magnates of Austria-Hungary, hold English pretensions to long descent in supreme contempt. It is not only true they despise the peerages of the Victor- ian age and such growths of the Refer - 'nation as the Cecils and the Caven- dishcs and the Russells, but they even think scorn of our mediaeval glories, and !old Seymours and Hova.rds and Percys to be merely ennobled squires. There are, however, some three or four English fam- ilies which are ranked as great even by the exacting requirements of Ronne and Vienna, and eminent among these are the l albo fss the Stanleys s And the N e- •ills, This reflection gives piquancy to Lord William Nevilts jt-published nook on convict life.
