FRIIDAY, APRIL 5, 1901.
Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan is to be
protected by special guards from
Scotland. 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'.

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,
