The Huron News-Recora .50 a Year -41.25 In Advance Wednesday, August 24th, 1592 SCANDAL AT PORT ARTHUR ARREST OF A PROMINENT BANKER AND MILITARY MAN ON A SERIOUS CHARGE. The arrest of Col. Ray, a promi- nent backer and military man, of Port Arthur, has cr4ted a treumen. dous sensation in society circles, Col. Ray met on the street Mre. Bathurst, wife of Dr. Bathurst, a well-known physician, and engaged her in conversation. They 'walked toward the Bathurst residence, and when it was reached the colonel asked permission to enter. A few few minutes later he made an inde- cent proposition to the lady, which so startled her that she swooned. While in a fainting condition Mrs. Bathurst says the colonel accom. plished his purpose. When the lady recovered she at once alarmed the household. Col. Ray, hearing that proceedings were to be taken, sent a friend with a cheque for $5,000 to suppress matters. This she indignantly refused, and at once swore out a warrant for the man's arrest. Dr. Bathurst, who was out of the city, did not return until the following day. He is furlv e.over the outrage, and swears t ailitoii Ray if he escapes justice in the courts. Col. Ray was brought before the magistrates' court for preliminary examination. He pleaded not guil- ty, but the evidence appeared direct and the magistrate committed him to jail to await Ilia trial at the Fall Assizes. Ray was admitted to bail of $20,000. HE THREATENS TO GO BACK. AN IMMIGRANT WHO APPRECIATES 1515 VALUE TO THE CO3INUNITI. New York Herald : A greasy - looking tramp who has lived in City Hall Park for three years and whose feet have become as hard as rocks from the frequent rappings upon them from the clubs of the sparrow policemen, took four 5 cent whiskies the other day and mustered up courage enough to march to the Mayor's office. He had a paper in his hand. The door- keeper nabbed him and asked him what he wanted. "1 wish to see Mayor Grant," he said, loftily. "\Vhat about ?" "'i' hat's my businosa." "Well, if its your business it isn't public business ; git 1" "I desire to enrich the commun• ity to the amount,rof $500." "All right, hand No a check for it." "No, that won't do. I want to give the community $1,000 and get $.500 change." "What's your scheme?" "Read what it says in the paper." And he pointed to the following paragraph : ' Reliable statisticians have calcul- ated that every adult immigrant who comes into the country is worth $1,000 to the community. "Well?" "I'm an adult immigrant, ain't I V' "I suppose so. What of it ?" "Well, I'm worth $1,000 to the community, and I propose to have ' some of it, or I'll get hunk." "How 1" "Well, if the community doesn't pay me $500 I'll go back. There's a clear gain of $500 in this deal for the community. It's a plain busi- ness proposition.

No Doubt of the reuslbilitf+ pf Mt Sobetue—It 1■ Ctatuod That the Neu Kettle)) of Transportation Will Save 30C at he Miles or Tortuous Navigation, to to bitter .At the last session of the Ontario Legisla• tare an act was passed incorporating the than Ontario Ship Railway Company. The pro. ject of this company is to build a three -track railway from Toronto on Lake Ontario to Collingwood on Georgian Bay in Lake Harem for the purpose of hauling lake vessels be. tweet' those two points. E. L. Corthell, of Chicago, is the consulting engineer of the enterprise. He said to a reporter for the Tribune that there was no doubt about the feasibility and practicability of the scheme if the money for it can be raised. The plans are substantially the same as' those pre- pared for the Tehuantepec Ship Railway,,, projected by the late Capt. James B. Lads, and of which Mr. Corthell is now time en- gineer. To such a nature attacks that were maliciously unjust could be no other than torturing, and the letter he left bdhind was the cry or of despair. "For more than a year the atrocious libelers of the Post Dispatch have had me on the rack. They have almost unfitted mo for performing my judicial duties, and made life little else than a torture. * * * I crave for rest which, alas 1 I must seek in the grave, upon whose brink I pen these closing lines." He contemplated the kill- ing of his traduciirs, but shrank fr•oio taking human Life, especially while serving as a judge. The law's slow delay, to which ho had ap- pealed, offered him no immediate remedy, and his defamers grew more bitter against him. Self-in- flicted death seemed to him the only relief from his vindictive assailant befcre persistent detrac- tion should rob him of men's es- teem. - There is a lesson to consider in this effect of merciless journalism. Newspapers are too often unmindful of the rights and interests of the persona aginet whom they direct their criticism. There is no weap- on so formidable as the columns of the daily preas. They are a terrible power for good or evil, and they should not be employed with- out mercy, without charity, even in the punishment of manifest guilt. In cases where there is the possi- bility of injuring the innocent there should be the spirit of fair- ness that known not malice and that will not permit zeal for the right to degenerate into vin- dictiveness. A newspaper has no rights superior to the right of an individual, and should not presume upon its privilege to grow tyrann- ous.—Chicago Inter Ocean. CHINESE WOMEN. TREY ABSTAIN FROM EATING MEAT IN TIIE HOPE OF BECOMING MEN. A. • )&rge.number of these un. fortunate married women belong to a .sect, the cardinal principle of which is total abstinence from animal food. By embraciug veges tarianism these women believe that they will become men when they again come to earth on the day of regeneration. They also institute several pilgrimages annually. A Chinese author said : "A young wife should be an echo and shadow to us at home." The celebated Pan -Hui -Pan endeavored to dis- parage her own sex by writing : "Woman ahould always be remind- ed of the low position which she occupied at the creation of the world. When a son is born he may sleep in bed, is clad in beautiful garments and plays with pearls. Everybody obeys him. But n a girl is born she sleeps upon ground, is enwrapped in a sim• loth, and may only play with She must only think of pre• ng wine and food, and of not ng her parents."

He was able to lift himself off, but after being in a precarious condition died. OCEAN STEAMER IN TRANSIT. Simlpy stated the plans provide for basins or docks at the terminals, which can bo emptied and filled at will, and where the vessels can be floated on and oil the enor- mous car designed to transport them. On the car the vessels will rest securely on cradles. The car itself will be drawn by six or more powerful locomotives. The ac- companying illustration will give a .clearer idea of the ship railway than can be convey- ed in a description. From Toronto to Collingwood the pro- posed route is practically a straight line, but on the Tehuantepec route there are several deflections which give rise to the necessity of building water turn -tables, it being impossible to haul the long car around curves. At the turn -table the vessel is floated, turned in accordance with the direction of the connecting line, reloaded and sent on its way. Mr. ' Corthell said the completion of the Ontario line would save 300 miles of tor- tuous navigation through the St. Clair River, Lake Erie and Niagara Falls. It would take directly from Lake Huron into Lake Ontario traffic which now stops at Buffalo. Vessels from Chicago to Duluth could go to Ogdensburg and down the St. Lawrence, nearly 200 miles farther east than they can go now. "Ten important ports on Lake Ontario and the whole Atlantic seaboard," said Mr. Corthell, "would be vastly' benefitted, to say nothing of the West and Northwest, because loads could be carried so much farther before breaking bulk. The length of the proposed line is sixty- six miles through a comparatively level country, where no rock is encountered. Mr. Corthell's estimate of the cost is $15,- 500,000. In the act incorporating the company David Blain of Toronto was made manager. Mr. Blain sailed for London July 5, after consulting several New York bankers, for the purpose of interesting English capital- ists in the scheme. He was accompanied to New York by President Brickmau of the Rochester Board of Trade, who subsequent- ly said the project was favorably reccivec on Wall street. Speaking of the capitalists Mr. Brickman said : "They saw, as all trust see, that with such a work completed there would be an entire revolution in the whole lake carrying trade, beneficially affecting Canada, the SECTION Or THE GREAT CAR. United States, and the markets of the world. The magnitude and importance of the work can be seen at once. Of course, like all new enterprises, the obstacles to be overcome look to the unprofessional eye as formidable, if not insurmountable. Fortunately in this case the most eminent engineers, both east and west of the Atlantic, have pronounced the work entirely practicable, and these facts had their (Inc weight with the gentle- men we interviewed." "Don't you think, then, the capital will be forthcoming for the project ?" "I have no doubt it will. The financial houses in New York entertained the opinion that as the work was' to be carried on in Canada, where property and rights are as safe as in any part of the world, and mime), was as easy in London as in New York, it would be best to place it in London. They have therefore furnished Mr. Blain with in- troductions and recommendations to their European houses, and, as he originally in- tended, he starts at once with ample nih- terial to lay favorable the subject before the European houses of the Wall street firms we interviewed." "Then you think the project looks well at present ?" "I don't think there is any doubt the work will be constructed and the City of Rochester greatly benefited by it. I may say I have discussed the subject with several of the leading railway men and others in- terested in the carrying trade, and they en- tertain time same opinion, that the entem•prirea to the carrying trade is second in importance to none that is now before the public for consideration." The Length of the route is sixty-six miles. There were to be three railway tracks of the standard gauge, 4 feot 8i inches, with rails 110 pounds per lineal yard. 1t was intended to transport vessels of 1,000 tons register, or, say, 2,000 tons displacement weight and 14 feet draft. The estimated cost was; 112,000,000. Respectably Joined. I once had a curate who got greatly ob- fuscated by the number of the bans he was called upon to publish one Sunday Pnorning.

He reached the fence without furth mishap, leaving a trail behind him crooked as a serpent's but at the first da he made on his return journey somethi append again. The machine stopped wi bump, and Mr. Bowser pitched forty 'er the handle and brought up in a he n the ground. "Now, I hope to never draw anoth breath if I don't slaughter somebody f this 1" he yelled as soon as he could get h breath. He was going to jump up and kick soul or something, but it occurred to hi that Mrs. Bowser might be looking, and h eat up and looked around and pretended resNt. othing could be seen of Mrs. Rowse wever, and after a couple of minutes h t up and moistened his hands for a fres rt. Everything went as smooth as greas the next twenty feet. Then the move ked up a hundred feet of stovepipe wir d waited for results.

It tools him ten minutes to clear awa the wire. When this had been accomplish ed he pulled off Ids coat and vest, glance up at all the back windows, and there was a dangerous light in his eye as he gripped the handle, drew a long breath, and wen ahead. At the -fifth h step Mr. Bowser' right foot found a post hole, and followed i up until he fell forward on his stomach and ploughed along the grass. His first thought was to get up and kick both line fences down and make a bonfire of the splinters, but as he slowly reached his feet a better idea occurred to him. He picked up the mower by the handle and raised it over his head and pounded the earth with it until nothing but the handle was left. Then he gathered up wheels, cogs, ratchets, flues, pulleys, cylinder heads, and low-water in- dicators, and tossed them over the back fence and walked into the house. Mrs. Bowser sat reading, and looking very in- nocent and humble, but he was not to be deceived. Standing before her in his sternest attitude lie said ; "Mrs. Bowser, there is an easier way !"

GEOGRAPHY IS NOT IRISH HOME LIFE. u� AGAINST US. Nothing could be wore utterly untrue than this parrot -like cry that geography is against the creation of a Canadian nation, The Dominion is not a mere fringe along the northern frontier of the adjoining Republic, nar does it hear evidence of being design ed for a tier of Northern States. Certainly Canada is broader from east to west than it is in depth from north to south. But because this is so the assumption is not necessarily warranted that our natural destiny is to form the complement of the United States. Take each province singly and it is seen at a glance how fallacious this "fringe -tier" argmmnent is. There is not a single member of Confederation that is not as large and compact as the average nation of Europe. Even Nova Scotia has an area six thousand miles greater then Denmark; British Columbia exceeds Aust: -Hungary by forty- two thousand miles, and Ontario, as compact as any any state in Europe in proportion to aize, exceeds France by fifteen thousand square wiles. Surely all these mighty provinces—each a nation ir, itself— ere not weakened by being united in one confederation, and if they are not then the truth of the declaration with which this article begins must be admitted—that geography and nature are not at war with the ups building of a Cadadian nation- -Yews. .- ''EFFECT OF TOBACCO SMOKE ON MEAT, FROM TUECANADAIIEALTH JOURNAL, Cases of poisoning, duo to mert which seemed throughly wholesome have sometimes occurred, and have remained unexplained. In the Renee d'IIr/ryien',' DI, Bourrier, in- spector of meat for Paris, describes his experiment/I with meat im- pregnated with tobacco smoke. Some thin slices of beef were exposed for a considerable time to the fumes of tobacco, and afterwards offered to a dog which had been deprived of food for 12 hours. The dog, after smell- ing the meat refused to eat it. Some of' the meat was then cut into small pieces and concealed within bread. This the dog ate with avid- ity, but in 20minutes commenced to displaythe most distressing symp- toms, and soon died in great agony. All eorts of meat., both raw and cooked some grilled, roasted and boiled, were exposed to tobacco smoke and then given to animals, and in all cases producted symp- toms of aerate paisoning. Even the process of boiling could not extract from the meat the nicotine. Grease and similar subetances have facilities of absorption in proportion with their fineness and fluidity. Fresh killed meat is more readily im- pregnated, and stands in order of susceptibility as follows; Pork, veal, rabbit, poultry, beef, mutton, horse. The effect also varies con- siderably according to the quality of tobacc.o All thee° experiments would seem to denote that great caro should be taken not to allow smok- ing where foods, especially moist foods, such as meats, fats and cer- tain fruits, are exposed. ITS SIMPLICITY AND HOSPITALITY A TAING OF THE PAST, All simple enjoymente of Irish life have now become enviable memories, says a native writer in an English review. Irish hosts . have ceased to welcome their guests with boisterous mirth and flattering delight. I think they have grown colder than the English. The peasants are dull and dejected, the girls uninteresting and stupid. The keenest ear migh ttraverse a village street on a fair day and never hear a single smart or witty saying. The cast of features has become heavy and unintelligent, and the eyes., onee so handsome, are lusterl s, with an expression between a a-1 indifference and sadness. The ook is particularily noticable in the woe wen's eyes. An old politician, to whom I lately deplored this great obange and the decline of Irish wit and humor, attributes the fact to pre.. sent politics. The Young Ire. landers, he contends, appealed to every instinct that kept alive these national characteristics. They fan, ned a literary flame, and if it were but feeble and crude, it still had the glow which warms the heart and fires the blood. Soul was not absent, either, and above all poised the spirit of romance, inextricably dear to the Irish peasant. But the Parnell movement, what. eyer else it may have accomplished or left undone, has undoubtedly achieved the destruction of wit and humor and romance. The dream of liberty was no longer a dark -eyed princess, with chains struck oft by gallant poetic worshipers and tuned to song, but legal parchments signed, in dull courts and the personal acquirement of so many acres of land. Liberty in the latter furca may be more feasible, but the strife for it has blunted all the sensibilities of the race, and time disasters that have come in its train have con.. siilerably modified the brightness of its promises: Ireland may now be described as the most melancholy land on the face of the earth, and the Irish pee• ple as one of the dullest and dreari- est of races. Fun has departed ; latter day politics has driven wit and humor from its shores. The towns and villages are depopulated. and the stamp of physical, mental, and moral decay lies upon the coun- try in unvarying gloom. Hope it- self is so listless and unimpassioned as to be hardly discernible from dull despair. As for Irish laughter that has definitely taken refuge ink America 23, 1887 "ItgneSis, with s Toronto, net that' certify to •the fact of my mother hav- ing been cured of a bad case of rheu- matism by the use of St. Jacobs Oil, and this after having tried other prepara- tions without avail."VV At. 11.
