Yard when he visits Eng- land next month. Life seems to be made as happy for financial emper- ors as for the regular kind. Un- easy lies the head that has a billion dollar trust scheme in it. Human ingenuity seems to be ex- hausting itself over the liquor problem. While in England a pow- erful and aristocratically officered syndicate has just been formed to gradually acquire all the licenses and then administer the traffic so as to discourage drunkenness, the Legislature of Arkansas is seeking to reach the same end by a law requiring every drinker to take out an annual $5 license. Those who are convicted of selling to the non - licensed or drinking without a license,,-vill be treated to something hot diider this statute. The Grand. Trunk Railway offer- ed to undertake the work of elevat- ing their tracks in the city c n a plan which would cost about $2,- 200, 000, provided the city contri- buted $1,000,000 cash. The com- pany is anxious to get away from their present route, which is a cir- etiitous pne of about four . miles from the Victoria Bridge to the Bonaventure Station, and run from the bridge to the station on elovat- ed tracks•by a more direct route about a mile in length. Tho city, however, is unwilling to pay. more than $500,000 to get rid of the level crossings between here and St. Henri, and this the company. refns- sd. It is probable, therefore, that nothing more will be• done in the matter. equipment for the shipment of the horses. One of these ports will be used in shipping the first batch of 1,000 horses. After navigation opens animals purchased in the future will go from Montreal. The Manitoba Legislature was prorogued Friday afternoon by his Honor Lieutenant -Governor Mc- Millan about 4,30 o'clock. The speech from the throne was cola- partttively brief, and contained amongst other things references to the resolution of condolence passed during the session and also to the resolution inviting their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess ; of Cornwall and York to visit the . city and Province. The railway deals are also referred -to, and the hope expressed that they will prove satisfactory to the people of the Dominion. At the closing business sossion of the Legislature last evening Attor- ney -General Campbell' stated that it was the intention of the Govern- ment to take the liquor act appeal to the Privy Council i'i England. A motion introduced. by Mr. Bur- rows, favoring the extension of Manitoba's boundaries, was unani- mously passed. in view of the repeated rulings of the House, could not be put. This coup took the wind out of the sails of the abolition advocates The ruling of the president was challenged, and on a vote was sus- tained by a vote of 15 to 2, only the mover and seconder of the bill Messrs. Pipes tans Arlm trong, vet- ing against the chair. When Hon. W. S. Fielding was Prouder of Nova Scotia he inaugurated the policy of scouring from new appoin- tees to the upper Chamber a pledge that they would vote for abolition. To -day, as a result, nearly every rien,,_ber of the Council is pledged two abolition, but on every occasion, and there have been several at- tempts to pass abolition legislation, the, pledged members have seen fit to disregard their pledges and vote against abolition. The bill was killed in the early stage of the game, and probably will not be heard of until another Parliament i� elected. What the Government under- takes to do is to lend a company 310,000 a mile, or nearly $2,000,000 all told, in lieu of the usual subsidy. This sum, larger than , the usual grant from Provincial sources for such a line, is to be secured by a first mortgage on the road. Inter- est is to he charged at the rate of 3 1-2 percent, and a sinking fund of one-half per cont. a year is to be provided. Further, the Govern- ment retains by the bill power to oontrol freight anti passenger rates ; it will have the power to nominate two representatives upon the Board of Directors, and it is to have pow- er to take over tho railway if it deems it necessary. Thus the Nova Scotia Govern- ment secures a control over the rates and the policy of the railway which should prove close and effec- tive, and in addition to this great advantage, to obtain the shadow of which Manitoba is paying so great a price, the Government is to re- ceive interest upon the aid which it gives to the railway.: Other Gov- ernments have given outright to the builders of railways great sums of money and huge tracts of valu- able land ; Mr. Murray's Govern- ment is liable only for the differ- ence between she interest which it will pay for the 2,000,000 it must raise and the sum it will receive from the railway company. The bargain certainly gains for the people the maximum of advantage at a minimum of outlay and risk. From Nova Scotia comes news of the best proposition made by a Government for the construction of a railway in the history of Can- ada. Hon. G. H. Murray has intro, deiced into the Nova Scotia Legis- lature a bill to aid. a railway which is to be known as the South Shore Route, and which is ' designed to connect the Atlantic coast towns from Yarmouth to .Halifax. At present meet of these towns com- municate with the outside world only by coasting steamer and the stage road, a branch line from. the . railway skirting the Bay of Fundy giving one town an alternative out- let. The road will be 170 miles long, and the region which it will open up is described as possessing excellent resources. Col. Dent, who has been appoint- ed by the British Government to buy horses for the army, arrived at Montreal, Friday. In the course of an interview he said :—"I shall purchase one thousand horses as soon as possible, and ship them to England by way of Boston or Port- land, the port to be ''decided upon later. I shall advise the establish- ment by the home authorities of remount depots in various districts throughout Canada. My, plans cannot be definitely stated until I confer with his, Excellency the Governor-General, but I shall cer- tainly pay a visit to the northwest before my return." He was accom- panied by Major the Zion, Ormsby Gore of the llth Hussar*. Dr. Fames Fraser, the veterinary; Sur- teen of the party, left them in New York and event to Boston and'. Portland, where he will make a Minute inspection of the shipping facilities at those ports in order to 100 which will present the best Mr. Tarte has expressed himself as .favorable to the Wolvin scheme for. elevators in Montreal harbor. and the legislation to sanction the band guarantee will probably bo passed by Parliament. • 1 0 Y DISEASES OF CHILDREN Measles, Scarlet Fever and the many other diseases of childhood, frequently leave the little sufferers in a weakened.and debilitated con- dition of health from which it is difficult to rescue them except by the regular use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. This preparation is admirably suited to the require- ments of children, and has such an invigorating and restorative influ- ence on the system as to make weak, puny children healthy, plump and active. FROM SOUTH AFRICA. We clip the • folio -vying from the Rhodesia Advertiser of Dec. 9th. Mr. M. Ehaies'referrccl to, is ason of Mr. A. G. Ehnes ex -reeve of this township. and is a native of Zurich. He was sent to Africa as a missionary, several years ago : Umtali Public School. Mr. and Mrs. Elines must really be congratulated on the very plea- sant evening which they gave to the parents and friend of the school children at the Goldfields last night. The whole programme bespoke an amount of care and at- tention on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Ehnes ami Mr H. Tullacl: which must have covered weeks and en from the kindest and deepest interest in the children. The closing exercises consisted of two parts ; the fii.rst devoted to songs and musical drill, and the second to a Scenic Poem and the awarding of prizes. • The last event was naturally the most important and agreeable to the children, but their adult friends may be pardoned for preparing to see the little ones on the stage. They often were on the stage and very well the stage looked when they. were. It seemed quite to overcome the male half of the audi- en.o and the repeated and sustain- ed applause masses it difficult to pick out what seemed the most favoured items. Uucloubtedly "Bobs," the Master Birch (with his smart uniform and clear voice) : the duet, "The Infant Christ," by Edie and Manche Hacker, with the children in chorus ; and the little mother's song by Kathleen Tulloch made what, the public press a "profound impression." In the second part, the acting of Hilda Fairbridge, as the little girl ; Hazel Hall; as granny : Mildred Moodie, as m'unma; l3ertie and Cyril, Edney, Holden Bray, Alec Stevens, Bessie Hall, Sophie Hof- fenburg, Hilda Adams and Made- line Tulioch (more than usually radiant and spritely), as brownies and fairies, did all the little actors the greatest credit. Just before the awarding of prizes Mr. Ehnes gave a short re- sume of the School's work for the year, and announced their inten- tion to 'open the next school year in the buildings lately known as the Goldfields Hotel. He explained that they had had considerable dif- ficulties in arranging the school during the past period through the delay and loss of books on the way to Umtali, the bad attendance of some of the pupils, and the lack of room. He hoped, however, that these difficulties would be remedi- ed and now that11 t ey wore e in a more spacious building he trusted to be able to get a third teacher for kindergarten work among the little fines, and to be able to start classes in the afternoon for elder pupils in Latin, Greek, French, German, Music, Mathematics, Science, etc. The • Govenment Inspector (Mr. 1H►tmmond) had'given the school an ,excellent repertl and stated that .it efficiently proviled for the needs of the locality. One of the most dramatic scenes of the present sesion of the Legis- lature of Nova Scotia was enacted in the stately chamber of the Leg- islative Council on Friday. The occasion was the introduction of a bill, the object of which was to secure the abolition of the upper Chamber of Nova Scotia's Parlia- ment. The bill was introduced by Hon. W. T. Pipes, leader of the Government in that 'House. His motion was that the bill be read a first time. But there will be no second reading ; there was no first reading. The bill had short shrift, and, to the surprise of the specta- tors behind the bar, 1:47114 thrown oat on the spot. Mr. Pipes had scarcely taken his seat when the President of the Council, Hon. Mr. Beak, arose and stated that before sugh a motion was pat to the House he desired to state his opinion with respect to the introduction of such a measure. He asked the Clerk to read his rul- ing, which was an exhaustive re- view of previous abolition prose dare the gist of which was as fol- lows ;--They had previously secur- ed the opinion of three high con- stitutional authorities, Messrs, B. Russell, R. L. Borden and Dr. R. C. Weldon, ex -M.1?., on the matter, and that opinion was to the effect that giving or taking pledges such as some members had given was wholly unconstitutional, a distinct breach of Parliamentary privilege; and,, `therefore, not binding. If` they were released from the pled;' ges they had given so as to be absolutely free in the matter, they might vote fairly and impartially &[r. Pipes asked if the ruling meant that the bill could be halt to. the House? and Hon. Mr. Goudge stated that, as ho understood the ruling, it nxeant that this motion, ZURICH P. O.
