NEWS NOTES. • judging by .tho number of shocking osiwes reported throughout the country, beimidity and deviltry scorn to go hand in 41‘. Laud. Tbo three year old daughter of R. titevenson, No 69 Seaton street, Toronto, was eunstruck Wednesday morning' and died, !bis is the first fatal stroke of Sunstroke recorded here this season. Such is the scarcity of ,rater at Swansea, Wales, that it was recently sold in the elreota at a penny per can. In some dis- - tricts the inhabitants had no water for two days. ' A roofer named Ryan, while at work on Friday on the roof of Mundy's new build Inge, Toronto, fell to the ground. a dis- tance of about 40 feet, and was almost in. .etantly killed. Oae of our most respected citizens says: "I would not be without Barkwell's Sure -(lora Cure.if it cost me $20," and that he • tnowa a man whet would!walk 20 miles to ,get it. rather than suffer, from a corn as he did before he used this celebrated'pre- paration. When unscrupulous dealers and menu- factu,rgre found guilty of adulterating +' articles of food shall be punished as such l inafe are dealt with in China,by hey - their ears nailed to a door poet, the practice may possibly cease. Such treat- napat. might bo considered heroic. but it ribald have the charm of novelty and e eetiveness. Son. Allen Francis, United StateaCon- til at St. Thomas. died very suddenly at if2p'elock last Friday might. This adds notother victim to the lists of deaths re - ding from the late railway accident. -e -was knocked down and seriouly injur- b the hose reel at that time. The liamediate cause was affection of the heart. The tricksters in New York who play -on the cupidity of rustics who desire to obtain money without work and with small outlay, have adopted a new racket *the way of providing" legacies" for the unwary. Of course the victim who for- wards money to get his inheritance from 'unknown sources has sent in return by empress a brick or package of sawdust as the legacy of foolishness The 74 saloon -keepers at Toronto, who have lust their licenses aro apparently determined not to submit without a strug- .gle. Application will be made to the court for a mandamus ordering the City Oouncil to show cause why the Fleming by-law, under which they lost their • leenses, should not she quashed as in - brutal. Premier Mercier is a lucky follow. Vic- tory perches on his banners at every turn kle won the L:iprairie elections in spite, of most persistent misrepresentation and vilification by his enemies And now Mr Vanasse, M. P., to head off a criminal libel suit, is compelled to go on his mar- srow bones, and acknowledge that his paper has cruelly wronged the Premier la is a great humiliation to such a haughty man tie Mr Vanasse, but knowing how unfouuded the charges against Mr Mercier :were, it was probably the most prudent thing he could do. Miss :Bary Irene Hoyt, of New York, daughter of the late millionaire, Jesse Host, will shortly appear before commis- sioners, who are to enquire into her ex - twelve use of intoxicating liquor. The order of the court says that it presttmp- tively appears that to the satisfaction of Boort she is a habitual drunkard. The ap- plication fd'r the commission was made in behalf of Miss H1ivt's mother. The object of the proceedings is ftp secure the appnintmenl of a committee of the person and property of Miss Hoyt. Dr lir. I3. Saunclers,a•ppointed to make examinations as to color blindness of rail- ,,. reed.elnptoyes undei the netti+°'Stii t©*Tarr; abandoned his work at Stovtnston and has run away to Birmingham. Ho was arrested on a writ of mandamus, which requires him to complete his rests. Hie reason for abandoning the work is said to be trouble with railroad men who dislike the new law Over `20.000 are affected by the law, and it is estimated that over 8,000 will be forced to give up their 'positions. - The intense strain of this torrid tem- perature is wearing out a great many hu 41ian systems. In New York the death rate is becoming alarming. One coroner was called upon ou Monday to investigate thirty-four cases of sudden death—the largest number of any day this season. Among the deaths in Brooklyn from the heat was Andrew Lefren, managing• editor of a Swedish journal and promin- ent in the social circles of Brooklyn. The day before Oscar O. Sawyer, a vete- ran Herald correspondent. was stricken down, and died. Manitoba undoubtedly has a good crop this year,and the cutting has commenced so early that the whole of the crop will be 'secured without damage from frost. But Manitoba should not make berse.f ridiculous by sending nut ofiieial reports, that she will have a surplus of 10 000 000 bushels for export. Even Ontario will not have much more than that quantity to export. If Manitoba can export 1.000 4100 bushels of wheat this year she will be doing well and ought to be satisfied. The London Times urges the Govcrn- :eoent to hold on to their scats like grim death for the remaining five years of their term, as time is on their side; in other words, as Aar Gladstone, they hope, will be out of the way by that time This is now the watchword of the Tory party. We learn that they have issued a secret circular to the party organization, placing the consideration before them and using the same phrase, 'Time is on our side.' A11 their hopes are now based upon the prospective death of Mr. Gladstone. When a party comes to such a pass as that in English political lift its dissolu- tion cannot be far off. 1'7c cannot imag• pe'u surer way to rouse the indignation of the country against them than this confession that the cardinal principle of their programme depends upon the death of their chief opponent. Their chief op- ponent, by the way, was never in a better form and never 'wicked leas like dying for ten years hast. w - The ease of Ruthcrford,who died in No. oe.11 ward (Montreal hospital) about a Month ago, serves as an ill ustralion. 11 is history pointed clearly to en acute super - ',ening upon a chronic nephrit ie. He had been a member ref the \nrllnvmt 1Tntnttcrl Police, and had served in the Biel rebel- lion. After a severe wetting he had been obliged to sleep.in his clothes, and woke up on the following morning feeling verb chilly, folt severe pain is his back, an. noticed that his feat was puffy. Neverthr lose, his troop being on the march, he we, forced to proceed, and not for some ditye could he obtain rest in bed with warm bed clothes. He has never beau well since, became autemic and weak,suff'ered greatly frotu lumbar pain, and after struggling two pears to earn a living was obliged to enter this hospital.—Canadian Practi- tioner. Sir S A lllackwoo 1, the Secretary of the Imperial Post office ;Department, is to visit Canada bud investigate as to the oonvenienoee and facilities of our steamships and railways fpr transmitting mailmatter,witb a view to the poosible adoption of the Canadian route between Great Britain and China and Japan. Very few peoplehave visited Western Caoada without being favorably impressed. Let us hopo that the latest visitor will be no °seep- tion to tho " No doubt you have heard," said a phila- delphla oar cocduotor, " otthe man who al- ways Bete into a car with a ten dollar bill and, as it could not be changed toe his faro, rode scot free. A certain aged creature played the same game oh me for five consecutive morn- ings. In order to feet even with him 1 titled a small tin pail witb$9.95 in pennies and five oent pieces, .

But when I turned hie ten donate into. the office it was pronounced counterfeit, and I, for my smart. neat, was that much out of pocket." It is said that in the early days of gold mining in Australia threemen visited Sydney and-bargatnod with—rhe prop tr a or of the ltoy. al hotel to have full swing of the house from the cellar to the roof. They finishedthe first day with "drinks for all" —in fact.kept open house. The next morning they opened all the champagne they could lay hands ou, and with buckets full of it and mops proceeded to wash out the bar and beer room witb this pre. cions Liquid. In those days, champagne of any kiwi was at least $10 per bottle. In about three weeks' time those three men start- ed back tothd dil,ginga in search of more gold, having wasted over $30,000 in their mad 'frolic. The Division Court has been called the Peer man's tribunal, and the inspector's report shows that so far as the number of small suits disposed of by it are concern- ed it is well entitled to that name. The inspector shows that during the last three years 180.943 suits were entered in the Divinion_Coarta.of the Province, in- volving the large amount of $G /118,409, on an average of more than 60,000 suits, and over $2 200,000 for each year, be sides transcripts of judgments and judg- inent summonses, which ran up into the tens of thousands in number, and bun - deeds of thousands of dollars in amount. The Division Courts, the inspector says, are giving satisfaction to the great bulk of the people in whose interest they were brought into existence. and amending legislation is adding periodically to their public value and efficiency.
