TORONTO'S BIG SCANDAL.
Election of Controllers and Alder-
men May Be Invalidated.
Toronto, Jan. 22. — The latest
development in the municipal elec-
tion scandals is the immediate pros-
pect of proceedings being taken to
invalidate the whole election for
controllers, and:also for aldermen
in certain wards. It is stated that
the citizens niay prepare for some
startling revelations, -when some of
those accused of tampering with
the ballets conte up for trial. The
investigation now going on by the
crown attorney and mayor is of
the most minute and far-reaching
character, and the ingenuity of
both these gentlemen is being tax-

A WOMAN WHO SLEPT SEVEN'
TEEN YEARS,
The world-famous " sleeping wo-
man," Gesine Meyer, of the Ger-
man city of Bremen, at last has
awaked to tell how it feels to take
a nap of almost two decades. To
her the seveenteen years through-
out which she lay in deep slumber,
passed as a single night. She is
amazed and mystified, weeping hys
terically for the loved ones whom
she insists wore with her "last even
ing," but who have really been
dead now these ten years.
Miss Meyer was awakened by
bells sounding a fire alarm. Sit-
ting up in bed, she remarked that
she would go downstairs and help
her mother to get the breakfast.—
Upon being told that her mother
was dead, she declared it was a cru
el hoax ; she knew better, for had
she not seen her well and hearty
only the night before.
Then her long nap was explained
though she would not believe until
shown how every person she knew

" If anything gods Wrong with it
he'll have to bo mighty sprig or he
will bo ,caught" muttered the old
mail.
" Once up," called Jimmy, and
the driver chirruped to the horses.
Now, these horses knew their bus
iness almost as perfectly as
Jimmy did his, and the driver
was in the habit of boasting that
they could deck logs just as
well without him as with him.—
when they heard that chimp they
knew that their business was to
lean just a trifle harder against the
collars and start the log, with a
slow, steady pull. They would
have 'done it, too, but, as luck -would
have it, a tree stood just beside
their path, and on the tree was a
dead branch. There was no wind
that morning, and why that dead
limb should have chosen that par-
ticular moment to fall is ono of the
lead changed. She had gone to things that no one knows, or ever
sleep a young woman of 23 a mir- will know, But it did fall, and the
roe gave unmistakable evidence to startled horses lunged forward with
her that she now is 40. a jerk that carried • the log clean

Here is Miss Meyer's own view of
her case
" I can't get used to this strange
order of things. I fell asleep—last
night, I thought—and when I
woke they tell me it is not the next
day, but seventeen years later. I
am in a frightful state. And it is•
hard to get used to the changes that
havo come over my father and broth
er and every friend. I knew ; some,
they say, are even dead and buried.
I have apparently grown older my-
self, but I cannot realize it.

was still beating, and by the old
man's orders we took hila to the
nearest railway station and got a
freight locomotive and a flat car—
the only train to be had—to take
hint to the hospital. He was going
to the Soo, after all, but not in the
way he had dreaded. I sat beside
him as he Iay on the blankets, and
held his hands, and by and by the
blankets stirred and I thought I saw
a look of consciousness in his face.

A good. ina.ny stupid things have
been said relative to the alleged ne-
cessity of protecting Canadian farm
ors against American competion in
their own markets, but the acme of
absurdity is surely reached in. the
proposal to protect Canadian dairy-
men against the flooding of our
markets with American cheese.--

Acting on the orders of Physi-
cians the stricken author 'will start

he will try the mineral bath treat-

Hall Caine has achieved. world-
wide distinction as a novelist of ori-
ginality and power. Born about
fifty-five yearfi ago, near Douglas,
Isle of Man, he made a special study
of the traditions and folk lore of
the quaint little island in the Irish
sea. The best known of these
books are " The Manxman" and
"Tho Bondsman." His most meccas -
fill dramatic works 'were " The
Christian and " The Eternal City."

Detroit, Mich., Jan. 22.—The pro.
jest of a new deep -water' canal
across Canada, connecting Lake St.
Clair and Lake Erie, and doing
away with the necessity of vessels
navigating Detroit River, is not
taken Seriously by vessel -owners on
the lakes, although it is said by the
promoters to have attracted London
and Paris capitalists. That the
canal will cut off six hours from
the trip between the upper and
lower lakes does not impress
owners, as it would tend to length-

the diamonds, mamma.," and with
this explanation, which to her
seemed sufficient, little " Lucile
Clarkson, w.io lives in Binghamton,
almost threw her mother into hys-
terics yesterday afternoon. There-
upon began the liveliest cat hunt
that has ever been known in Bing-
hamton.
Playing with a stray eat in her
mother's boudoir, little Miss Clark-
son found. the jewels. When the
mother entered the room and look-
ed for her diamonds—three rings
valued. at 800—she could. find no
trace of them.
"I had. them wrapped up in white
paper," she said to Lucille.
"Did yon?" asked the child, de-
murely ; "then kittie has eaten
them, for she had them in her
mouth when she ran away." And
the gems have not yet been found.
H IL .PICK
Mr. Mills, whose appointment on
the Railway Commission is an-
nounced, took charge of theiOntario
Agricultmal College at a time when
the kid -glove farmer was an object
of derision, and when it was very
hard to keep the Legislature to the
support of scientific farming. --
That is all changed now, partly by
scientific farming's own victories,
no doubt, but greatly to Mr, Mills'
tactful persistence and executive
ability.
