Her name was called and she answered. Then the judge asked the clerk to read the charge against her. " Disorderly conduct on the street and disturbing the peace , " read the clerk. "Who are the witnesses against the wo- men ?" asked the judge, and the two police- men stepped forward to be sworn. "Now tell the story," said the judge f and one of them began. "I united this woman in front of a. Ba- lloon on Broadway on Saturday night. She had raise i a great disturbance, was fighting. and brawling with the men in the salooni and- the saloon -keeper put her out. Shg need the foulest language, and with an awful theeat struck - at the keeper with all her Ante. I then arrested her and teok her up lc) 04 detention house and lecke 'elher up.' , ; "The next witness will tske t e stand," l laid the judge, and the other 1 policemaz. steppiti up. ., A II saw the arrest and know it to be just as eteteci. I saw the woraan fighting as tha saloon -keeper put her out on the street. I heard the vile language she used in the presence of the crowd that • gathered in the street." "Cell the saloon keeper.

It was they and not I that violated the la*. 1 Was in the saicon last Saturday night, but III tell you how it happened. "My husband did not come home froth work that evening, and I feared he -had gohe' to the saloon. I knew he must have drawn Ms week's wager, and we need d it all So badly. I put the little one to bed, and then waited all alone through the weaty • hours until after the city clock Struck twelve. Then, I thought, the saloons will be closedand he will be pat out in the street. Probably he will not be , able to get home, and the police will arrest hirn and look him up. I must go and find him and bring hitn r. home. I wrapped ii. shawl around me arid started oat, leaving the little onea asleep in bed, and, judge, I have not seen them since." Here the tears cerne to her eyes and she almost broke down, but recovering hemelf she went oa : i "1 went to the saloon where I thought_ most likely he would be. It was twenty minutes after twelve, but the saloon,"— pointing to the saloon -keeper, who seemed to want to chinch out of sight -h" was still open and my husband and these two police- men "—painting to those who had so lately aworn against ber-4' were standing at the bar with their lips still *et with drink, and the fleck of foam not yet settled in the empty glasses before them. I stepped up to my husband -and asked him to go home with um, but the men laughed at him, and the saloon -keeper ordered me out. I eaid, 'No, I want my husband to go with me.' Then I tried to tell him how badly we needed the money he was spending, and again the keeper cursed me and. ordered me to leave. Then I confess I could stand no more, and I said, 'You ought to be prosecuted for vio- lating the midnight closing law.' "At this the saloon -keeper and policemen rushed upon me and put me out into the street, and one of the policemen, grasping my arm like s vice, hissed in my ear, 'I'll get you thirty days' sentence in the work- house and then see what you think about suing people.' He celled a- patrol wagon, pushed me in, and drove to the house of dee 'caution, and judge, you know Min rest. All day yesterday I wen locked up, my children at home alone, with no fire, no food, no mother." It was well the story was finished for a great sob choked her utterance, and she could say. no retire.

HOW ITS IMMENSE WATER POWER WILL BE UTILIZED, The problem of subjugating the enormous working force linked up in the mighty cat - erect of Niagara and utilizing it for the ben- efit of the various towns in both its iname- diate and remote vicinity, proved, up to a very recent dim, beyond the power of man to solve, but it has at last been found pos. Bible to do even thie. So far back as 1725 a rude sawmill was erected at the fides, and the rushing waters were used to turn a heavy water -wheel -of the type which has not changed since the hlays when the ancients first .had recourse tor natural force as a utilizable powerPOther mills at different spots have been erected frem time to time, each, however, entirely isolated,and deriving its motive power frem the direct agency of the rapidly . running ktream. The fiat serious attempt to render Niag- ara subservient to man was made in 1873, when a company was formed to construct a hydraulic canal, and furnish about 6,000 horsepower to a number of establishments .on the banks, principally flour milk.. The canal was cut, but the supply of water it was -constructed to utilize so far exceeds the demited that the tailrace below the mills shows a greeter fall than that used to turn the water wheels. The eudden conamemial development of electricity and its ganeral availability for almost all kinds of puwer work caused the thoughts of engineers throughout the world once again to be turned toward Ni - nitre. Problems in the long-distance trans- misiimi of electrical power having been suc- cetsfally solved, the tepping of the great fall seemed more nearly possible than ever before, and soon the commercial world was full, ot new tchemes in relation to it. • A company was incorporated in 1886 un- der charter of New York State, styling it- self the Niagara. Fella Power Company, In ,1889 the Cataract Construction Convene, was formed to take hold of the construmion work and carry it to completion. The com- mercial and finaucial possibilities in their plans appealed moat strongly to enterprising capitalists, aud on the list of directors and stockholders are to be found some of the best known names in the world of wealth. • The "great a,dvantage of such a scheme need hardly be emphasized. It is expected, that a lerge manufacturing city will rise num the Falls, which some people predict will speedily have a million inhabitants. The ehipping facilities will be unsurpassed, the new city being on great waterways and railroads running both east and west. A • line, of railroad has been already laid by the Niagira Junction Railway Company, which will connect all the mills and factories with Vie principal trunk lines of the country. tentrinnt nt nanital. Available fit ill- 000,000, and the enthusiasm with which the scheme has been greeted on the money mar- ket augurs the belief that funds will not be wanting for the extension of the work when the time comes. The mpirations of the company are almost limitless, but their first attempt is to be comparatively modest.- For the present the work is to be confined to cutting the big tunnel, excavating the sup- ply canal and rectlaiming certain traots of land lying in the immediate vicinity of the canal itself, but still submerged. A large tract of lend, some 1,400 aerie in extent, has been purchased by the -Power Company about a mile above the Falls on the upper raver bank, and on the further side of the Niagara Village. This is to be laid out in sites tor mills, motorise and warehouses, and will be intersected by numerous canals. It extends more than half a mile back from the river, and runs parallel with it for near- ly a mile. By means of the canals water can be supplied from the upper river- to the different wheel pits. For the lighting of the city of Buffed° the company expecte its first contract. This will require 3,000 horsepower. Thirty-five dollars a steam horsepower is at present being paid there.. Electricel motive power can be delivered to Buffalo at a considerably lower rate per horsepower than this. The basis of, charge will be the horsepower sup- plied for twenty-four hour days. The ad- vantage such a transraission presents is obvious, and ite realization is now very near. Transmission to Chicago at a distance of over'500 nines is a problem much more dif- ficult of solution. Its acoomplishment in time for the Fair, however, is assured, and it is fully expected that the Falls Power Compeny will be able to deliver 600 beirse- power there for every' 1,000 hone - power generated at the Falls station,. Such a result would show a tremendous step for- ward in electrical practice, and would mark a new era in the science. • Chicago's dearest wish for many months past has been to get her power "'by wire" direct from Niagarmand she is rapidly near- ing its realization. And if Chicago, why should not a project for transmission to New - York be realized? The Niagara Falls Power Company has secured the whole right to operate the Ni - agar River on .the Canadian side.- They purpse to generate most of their electricity there and then bring it into the United Staten, no import duty yet existing upon the. electric current. The value of this franchise is incalculable, and the speedy development of the ' Canadian side can soon be looked for. It has been calculated that the total power of Niagara Falls amounts to about sixteen million horsepower. The scherne now in progress of realization contemplates the present use of 100,000 horsepower only and a city using this amount -will be one of con- siderable size. So small a fraction of power taken from the falls *ill have no appreciable effect upon thein, and this meat ambitions of schemes, perhaps the moat stupendous en- gineering feat ever undertaken, becomes as nothing mildewed with the vaatness of Nee tureh store there. • He Needed a "Guardeen." I was the only passenger in the car. Mid- way of a block another came ie. His hat was crushed and his clothing daebed with mud. For a long time hee sat in gloomy meditation. Then -he hitched up toward me and said*: , "1 guess I'm the dodrottedest fool run- nin' loose in this town at Inc present time. "So ?" I said. "Yes, sir.

The Mitchell Recorder, whoee Editor has made horticulture in all its branchea a close study and who is thoroughly competent to speak authoritatively en such mattere,throws out the following useful and timely hints cm the subjects of fruit and fruit trees. It frays : Why do the farmers still continue buying fall and summer apple trees, or mulberry trees, or apricot trees, and one trash -end another that mists money and is of no value. The nurserymen are about now and of course they will press anything that is new, as a new thing always sells beet. Good apples for this Province are as safe as cheme • or beef. A farmer buying should take only one tree each of Red Astrachan and Duchess of Oldenburg for bummer use; two or three trees of any fall varieties that be may pre- fer; but let him put the bulk of Ms money into winter varieties. In this latter he should avoid new and untried high-priced soite, and atick to the Spy, Baldwin, Green- ing, King, Russet, Blenheim Pippin, Cran- berry Pippin, Ontario and Pewaukea. Among theme the King is very choice, but a light bearer, the Ba'dwin is tender in the tree, and the Greening is subject to spot. All the rest are tafe and sure bearers. There are two things that have been against the Canadian apple trade this season; the fall fruit and the McKinley tariff. The fall apple would have found a ready market in the great cities of the west but for the McKinley tariff against its entrance there. And when the whole bulk of our fall fruit was thrown into the British market, injured to a greater or less extent by the long time and distance in transit, it h sd ati injurious effect upon our apple trade generally. It is somewnst noteworthy to find in the agricultural de- partment of a. prominent American journal, attention drawn to three Comedian products which are corning conspicuously to the front in the merkets of the World. The first of these named is cheese, emend apples and third honey. The last mentioned, we believe, is more confinei to the lower • provinces, and finds its way ;largely into the cities of the Eastern States. Canadian cheese has already gained a supremacy in the British markets, and apples, according to the writer alluded to, are fast gaining a prominent and secure place there. • There is no doubt as to the future for the Canadian apple of the right quality and variety. It is well-known that an `orchard of ten acres of good winter verietim, well cared for, will yield in a fair season one thousand barrels cf saleable, fruit. The orchards of Huron county are in better • shape than they are in this county, yet there ia lots of room for improvement in Huron. Farmers should buy less nursery truck that costs far more money than good apple trees. They should buy • vary sparingly of summer and fall varieties and put their menet, chiefly into winter sorts. A safe fall variety for this part is the Colvert ; a very •eholoe JISliStir is thelhaltelitrine, au i a jitticht.ter TH HURON EXPOSITOR, the fan Pippin and Wealthy.

Steinhoff & Gordon on trail occasion broke the record into little bits and sent 32,000 bundles of staves, or over P2,000 worth. Some say that this is the finest shipment ever made atone time On the continent. The insurance costs on the cargo amounted to about $200. • —The eudden death is anhounced of Mr. Hugh Crawford, of Kilbatcham, Scotland, who is understood to have been the largest dealer in horses in the United Kingdom. He dropped dead in Edinburg, where he had gone to attend Rellow Fair. Mr, Craw- ford was well known by thousands from Lend's End to John o' Groat'', being a regu- lar attendant and frequently a large buyer, at all the principal fairs. He carried on an extensive business for over fifty years, and on many occasions was engaged by the Government to make purchases for war and other purpose. He had a peculiar' instinct for appraising the value of a horse at first sight, and his judgment was generally justi- fied by the subsequent history of the ani- mals on which he gave his opinion. — Her Eyes Were Opened. The day will come when the killing of animals for sport twill be looked upon as a horrible practice. • Men will wonder bow people could ever have thought it amusing to shoot foxes and deer, partridges and ducks. An English woman, Lady Florence Dixie, who, was formerly the keenest of sportswomen and a crack shot, bas experi- enced a change of heart, and ineehe freeh- -flees of her new feelings Ms written a book entitled, "The Horrors of Sport." In it she describes her last experienoe in deer - stalking. She and her companion had sight- ed a feeding herd, but were compelled to make a circuit of six miles in order success- fully to approach it. Then suddenly the deer *ere in sight not 200 pads away. Just then • grouse rose, and the whir of its wings startled the deer and put them to flight. One of the hunters took the momentary chance, fired, and wounded two of the deer. It fell to Lady Florence to go after one of them' a stag. She says: "1 ran down to where the wounded royal lay. He was groaning terribly, his red tongue lolled from his mouth and he rolled about apparently in great agony. • Large tears dimmed hie dark eyes as they fixed themselves upon me in their terror. I was horrified., i bad nothing about me wherewith to end his pain.; no knife, no rifle, and I was powerlese. It was a scene which filled me with loathing.

He had eecured his second eta& he celled minas he sew me. " ' Come quick,' I shouted, 'and bring your knife and kill, or let me kill, this poor animal. It is in agony.' He came, but too slowly, and I ran to meet him. He laughed at any eagernees ; he knew me as a tiports- woman, and could not understand my sud- den horror and remorse.But he came on quicker, and in a; few minutes the poet' stag was put out of its pain. • " That was, the 1,ist stalk I ever took ptrt In, or ever shall.• As far as I am, concerned the red deer of my native land may roam their forests in peace." • Delicate. There is a class of supper -refined young laaies, if common report is to be trusted, who think it a mark of superior cultivation to have small and dainty appetites. A Penn- sylvania exchange has heard of one. "Do you think you could eat a bit of the turkey ?" said a gentleman to his cousin, a young woman from the city. " Why, yes; but just a small piece, pleate," she answered. He stsrted to trim off a delicate morsel, and asked, "Is there any part you especial- ly like ?"

Indigestion, Dyspepsia and Sour Stomach are caused by the food fermenting. The result of fer- mentation on all organtio matter must be acid. This decomposes the food (which should be digested) and from decomposition evolves gases that , produce pressure on the nerves, disorganizing the system, and produc. ing various symptoms of disease. The "Curative Fluid" purifies the stomach, promotes digestion and assimilation of food, thereby creating a healthy current of blood.
