Astor, a chambermaid in a St. Louis hotel, turns out to be a re- lative of the Astons of New York, and 'will in June receive a legacy of $20.000. Fred Mellish, who came to Toronto on Wednesday and took a room at 49 Sumas k street, deliberately shot himself througu 'the head last evening, first writing a note to say that he was disgusted with life. When Geo. Cowan, a farmer living about two miles north of Paris, was driving home Friday evening, his -4-or4 . became frightened at some ob- ject by the roadside, and ran away, throwing him out of the buggy, and so seriously him that death resulted.

Very curious was the double coincidence wtrieh occurred at the proceedings in the Torquay, Eng., Police Court some time aeo when two men were summoned for be- ing drunk in Temperance street, appropriat- ely fined by Dr. Drinkwater, the presiding magistrate, whose very name furnished a needed lesson to the tipplers. Sir Adolphe Caron, ex -Postmaster, -Gen- eral, was in Toronto Friday morning. A rumor, frequently heard on the streets dur- ing the day, associated Sir Adolph's visit with some grand new organization in the interests of the Ontario Conservatives, but on being questioned on the subject lust night by a Globe reporter, the bon. gentle- man laughingly repudiated any such idea. ,. His visit, he said, was for purely personal and' business reasons and had nothing • whatever to do with politics. i real 6.—The most valuable piece of estate ever offered at auction in New York was sold on Monday. The property:was the new fifteen -story sky -scraper, the syndicate building, at the 'southwest earner of Nas- sau and Liberty streets. It was sold under foreolpgure of a fourth mortgage of $900,000, subject 6o the prior mortgages, aggregating $2,000,000. John W. Golding, for a client whose name he would not give, bought the building for $2,508,291.58. The British trade returns show that the motherland made enormous gains ,' in her commerce with the world dur- ing last year. The gain in imports amounted to $125,588,385, and in ex- ' ports to $70,160,005. A country which thus trades, while almost every other nation, trammeled by restrictionist ta- riffs, reported dull tines, is surely an • example to profit hy.

Krasner telephoned from his house in New York on New Year's morning to his t,wo sons who were in his office down town, "Boys, I want to make you a New Year's present. The .Atlantic Garden is yours. I wish you success and a happy New Year." The sons of Mr Kramer, who have been as- sociated with him for years in the management of the Atlantic Garden, were speechless with surprise. Before they had time to thank their' father, telephone "central" had rung off. The tlantic Garden on the Bowery is a prbperty including the Thalia Theatre, and is worth a million dollars. A STTRGEON'S TABLE. AN OPERATION PERFORMED TO SAVE HIS LIFE. Thrilling Story of a Mau Who Took Chloro- form and Experienced a Very Difficult Operation. Never mind what my complaint was. I was a terrified, crushed,trem bling dazed man, for I had received my sentence whioh was that "a very grave operation must be performed within a week if my life were to be saved." The succeeding events resembled a ter- rible nightmare. I remember giving the address of my friends Man official, being conducted to a wand, making an apology for a meal and then being ordered to bed. Two days later the house surgeon, when „,making his Sieltefi ., the yiskx4t • 041ga. i4 my bedside and said:— "Mr. M--" (mentioning the name of a great surgeon) "has decided to per- form the operation to -morrow morning at nine." He then instructed the sister of the word to keep me without break- fast next morning (chloroform, I'm told, always being more safely adminis- tered on an empty stomach), and with a few cheery words bade me "good -night." Few readere will bo surprised to learn that even a sleeping draught produced little else but confusion of thought and excited half waking dreams. But sleep tame In the early morning, and it was nearly 9 before I awoke to find two nurses and the ward porter standing . by my bed, the latter being In (Merge of a low basket litter on wheels, which was used to convoy patients to and -from the operating theater. Pale and trembling, I was assisted into this 'means of transport, and a second later the rubber tired wheels were rumbling along the rather uneven floor of the ward, en route for the "Chamber of Horrors." .As I was run along between the long rows of beds, suoh patients as•were able raised themselves on their elbows to get a glimpse of me, some • wishing me "good luck," and others expressing their pity for me in none too comforting phraseology. After traversing two wards and a long corridor, I was placed, carriage and all, in a lift, and was run down to the ground flour, where my journey through corridors and wards was repeated. Just before reaching the fateful place a loud cheer and a hearty clapping of hands and stamping of feet caused me to look interrogatively at my conductor. "Only them students giving Mr. M-- his usual cheer," he said, cheer- fully. Just at that moment more cheers re- minded me of tbo reception a popular matador receives on entering the arena before a bull fight. A moment later the frosted glass swing doors were thrown open, and I was trundled into a large, light and very lofty room, somewhat in the shape of a horseshoe. Around the circular side of the place were tier above tier of benches thronged with eager stu- dents—for, unfortunately for me, my case was a very special one and required a vary "heroic)" operation. On the floor stood a narrow table of polished ma- hogany, fitted, as far as I cculd see, with all sorts of sp antes for ralslq piece or foot the top of,Vl oover'gd spot' Prizes have been awarded at the poultry show, New York, and as usual the Oanadians have carried off many of the eminent honors.

The room as oppressively hot, and the silence which followed upon my arrival was only broken by the gentle hissing of the car- bolic spray. An odor of pungent but • not unpleasant drugs, somewhat sugges- ive of a chemist's shop, permeated the theater. Gently, but quickly, I was lifted on to the table. "Feel a bit shaky, eh?' asked the sur- geon. "A tablespoonful of brandy, please, sister. Now that's better." "We will proceed with the ' chloro- form, Mr. Richardson," the great man maid. At these words a young doctor stand- ing at my head hent over me, holding a towel in his hands. He managed to raise my lower jaw, and also to place the chloroform saturated towel over my mouth and nostrils at the same tirne. A sweet, burning, half plangent, half sickly odor was emitted as I breathed, "Breathe away quietly, and begin to count slowly up to a hundred." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven," I murmurod,aud then, somehow, a confusion of thought came upon rue. Where had I got to? It didn't in the least matter, I knew, but still it worried me. But yet, while even in tire act of de- ciding to go on counting again, to begin at the beginning, I found that I was be- ing suffocated, but still it was pleasant suffocation. I was uncertain as to whether I should struggle or not. That also didn't seem to be of much conse- quence. Queer throbbing sounds seemed to be acting on the depths of my brain— I can give no clearer description: There teas a heavy, steady, but mighty loud beating of my heart, each beat of which appeared to churn up my brain, And now I was hearing music—the di- vinest of music. Tho bass notes were supplied by• the hrobhing, heavy sound in my brain, but around me—just as though thousands of tiny fairies were playing the sweetest airs on thousands of most deliontely tuned harps and the sweetest of little tinkling gold and silver belle --the trebleortion of the melody was being enc, anthigly played. I thought I was in a sunny garden, gorge- ous with the fairest flowers and scented with their perfumes. I was free from all disease, was deliriously happy and con- tented; the Elysian fields were around me; I wanted for nothing but to be loft there to lie and gaze for millions of rearm! But then suddenly the gardens be- came dark as night; a rushing, roaring wind swept over them; a oraeh, as of all this world's artillery being discharged at once, seemed to annihilate me and every- thing else, almost before I could realize any change from the gloriousness of my previous sensations. Then Dame nothing- ness. - Coming to earth again, I. found my- self in my bed in the ward. The house enrgeon was feeling my pulse. I just noticed that there were screens around the bed, and that I felt comfortably sleepy, but a trifle sickly. Surely noth- ing could have happened since I fell into the ohloroform sleep "Why didn't they do the operation after all?" I netted. The doctor smiled, "My doer fellow," he said, "I ought not to say it, perhaps, hpb if only you knew what you have. gone through during the past two hours, you'd know why I smile at your question. Why, man, you have gone through an operation which has only been performed twine before in Eu-, rope! Oh, yeti, they did do the operation' after all. Now, oak no questions; 11. TOE C.

QUITE ROMANTIC•.—A story comes to the NEW ERA from the not t.hernart of the county that has an air ofsad romance about, it: We do not vouch for its truth, but give it its given us. A young man who had been it the west came hack to get married; he was taken seriously ill, anc1• was attended by the young lady to whom he was en- gaged. Her kind ruinistratione, how- ever, aided hy the best of inedicsl tree trnent, were not sufficient to stay the hand of disease, and he gradually failed until deathclaimedhito. Short- ly before passing away, however, the report states that ,he took' his pocket hook, containing, cheques to the value of about. $10,000. and. made the young lady a present of it.

Almost every prisoner under or expeot• ing sentence of death tries to commit suicide, and it takes the warders on guard all their time to frustrate such efforts. Not long ago it was noticed that -.tth9 ears pf a female prisoner, while wait- ing her trial, were stuffed with ootton wool. This, she explained, wns,owing to the fact that she sutferod intensely from earache. Tho prison governor, however, insisted on the cotton being taken out and examined, and in It were found two pills. each containing enough poison to kill several persons. Another prisoner some time ago was hoard, during an interview with his wife to use the word suicide, and a close watch was kept on him. At n subsegment visit, after ho had been sentenced to death, hie wife begged so bard to kiss him for the last time that she was al- lowed to do so through the bars. Tho length of the salutation. however, oauatid the warders in attendance to become suspicious, and they forced open the pri- soner's mouth. They found in it n pill of powerful poison, wrapped in. tinfoil, which the wife had brought and t,rans- ferred to him during the kiss. The engagement of Mise Ella Walker, granddaughter of Hiram Walker, tho mil- Iioeairedistiller of Walkorville, Ontario, to Count Manfrc, Von Mat schka of Schloss, , Beehau,has been announced. The sick man knocking at the door of health gets in if he knocks the right way, and, stays out if he doesn't. There are thousands of ways of getting sick but only one way to get well. Do whatever yon will, if you do not put your digestion in good order, and make your blood rioh and pure, you. will not set well, i;iop, p -ore blood is •the only thing thtit can bring per• feet health. Constipation is a disease of the blood. A large part of all diseases are traceable directly to impurities in the blood and can be cured by eliminating them with Dr Prerce's Golden Medical Discovery. The first thing it dotes is to put the whole digestive eyetem into perfect order. It stimulates the appetite, excites a copious secretion of the digestive fluids and pro- motes assimilation. It searches out die - ease germs wherever they may be, kills them and forces them out of the system. The "Golden Medical Discovery" has been used with unvarying success for over 30 years. The Buffalo News, a high protectionist. says the average rates of duty under the new United States tariff bill will be lower than the rates in the MoKinley,law, as it is admitted, even by the most extreme pro- tectionists, that a general restoration of the McKinley rates would decrease revenues instead of increasing them.

Protests were filed in Ontario against 11 Conservatives returned at the general elec- tion in June, and against one Liberal, Hon. 11'ir. Paterson, returned for North ;trey, in a bye -election. Of the 12 seats thus con- tested all have been settled with exception of London (Major Beattie, Con.) and West Toronto (E. F. Clarke, Corr.) The London case is still before the courts tinder an ad- journment until Jan. 18. It is not likely that the case against Mr Clarke will be gone on with. Of the remaining 10 seats, the petitions were dismissed after a formal opening of the court in six 4 them, viz., in North Perth (McLaren, con.), East Nor- thumberland (Cochrane, Con.), East Dur- ham (cJraig, Con.), East York (Ma_lean, Con.)West Toronto (Osler, Con., and North Grey (Paterson,Li h.),In North Brace (Mc- Neill, Con.), the petition was tried and fail- ed. The petitions were sustained and the members unseated in South Brant (Henry, Con.), North Ontario (McGillivray, Con.), and East Simcoe (Bennet). There are, therefore, three Conservative seats vacant in Ontario and three bye -elections to be held. Old Sailing (:raft. One of the oldest sailing Drafts in the world is thn Gokstad ship, a Viking craft which' was discovered in it sepul- chral mound on the shores of Christiana fjord, and Is now exhibited in a wonder- fully perfect state of preservation in"' Christiana. It Is a craft of the ninth - century A. D., and is therefore nearly a thousand years old. During excavations in the neighborhood of Gizeh, Egypt, there was discovered an almost perfect yacht or pleasure vessel whioh has been ascribed by experts to the seventh or. twelfth dynasty, or about 9,000 B. C. It Is therefore quite 4,000 years older than the Goketad,ship. It was discov- ered with its rigging almost entire, and, strange to say, the hull exhibits an ex- traordinary likeness. to those of yaohts built upon the most approved modern lines. Newest, Outdoor Fad. Timidity must no longer be a fashion- able affectation, for one of the very latest social fads demands bravery of a decided sort. Milking tate cow le the latest pose assumed hy young women, and it is one that requires a good dual in the way of background. In the first plane the hostess must have a good-sized country estato,wlth spacious lawns. Then she must give a lawn fete for charity, In which the chief and draw- ing attraction Is, the spoetnr.le of young women milking cows to the middle of the lawn.
