The °'inbney is to be used "for the purchase of suti ditloaal rolling stock and the conaftrttteh-- ` tion of such additional permanent` routes, etc., as may be required for the noxa tonveniedt and economical handling of tile: companies' traffic." SIC Thomas Shaughnessy, in submit- ting the resolution, said it was un- necesssary for trim to enlarge on what was said at the annual meeting of the shareholders when the issue was fore- shadowed and its purposes explained. "Your directors are convinced,' he continued, "that Canada will continue to progress, and that if there be any temporary setback resulting from fin- ancial conditions in other parts of the world it will prove wmpuattvely un- important, It may not be out of place to say at this meeting of shareholders that newspaper rumors with reference to ucgotiations by the C: P, R. for the purchase of railway lines in the United States etre absolutelj without founda- tion, There lutve been no such negotia. tiotta at any time."

Class 11 includes those shareholder's who borrotved on their stock. The shares involved amount to 450,000, against which loans totalling $102,000 have heen trade, Mr. Smythe held that the amounts paid 01 by a altaeehoider after borrowing on his share should be credited against the loan, so that wheel' the liquidator comes to distribute the assets of the company the shareholder will receive his dividend ou the amount paid in up to the time he borrowed, and that money paid in after the date of borrowing be credited 'against the loan itself. The bookkeepeing of the York Loan indicated that payments made 'after money was borrowed were invariably credited as ad- ditional »tock payment and not set down es offset to the loan, unless special ap- plieatiou were made by tite.shareholder. it is against the apparent effect of this system of bookkecepitrg that Alt Smythe was arguing. Air. W. 31. Douglas, K, 0., held that the York Loan was justified, and, in fact, legally obliged in crediting pay- ments aymentis on stock instead of on the loan and that this systent was intended to continue until the share tnaturod. .Tire loan Was then to be subtracted front the gross amount of the stock. Mr. Kappeletvill hear argument on the other classes'at the earliest possible uta- ment and expects to be able to deliver his decision about the end of dttnnary. A FATAL HOLIDAY.

Paris, Dee. 30.—Those usually nu- merous and well-intentioned beings who hold serious converse with them- selves at this season, debating whe- ther to swear off of New Year's Day, may be interested in sdrne replies re• ceived by a French periodical which sent an enquiry to artists and writers asking if it were necessary for them to .drink alcohol, and what they drank. M. Sardou replied that he holds alcohol to be a poison. He coald not stand half a glass of bran dy He never had recourse to alcor hol 'ts a etininluatt to do his work. On the other hand, he drinks coffee thtee times daily. He does not Bleep well at nigh` unless he has half a cup of coffee without sugar after dinner. M Saint-Saens says, pleasantly: "1 drink when I am eating and drink when I'm thirsty, chiefly mineral wa- ter and wine without excess, and n little beer, because I rarely find good beer. I fear alcohol because I have an easily irritated liver, and I drink little of it, but I don't totally abstain, depending on my state of health, 1 never take alcohol as an incitement to work, nor any other stimulant, al. though sometimes I drink coffee if my head is heavy. If I can have good, cold, fresh water, .I prefer 0 above all drinks." - M. Marsenet, repeating the ques- tion whether alcohol was to hint e happy excitant, from the point of view of musical composition, replied that he did not think 80, since he had always preferred to absteht from clarets. He drank a little alcohol, at most an occasional sweet liquor. He did not believe it was an intellectual stimulant, It might whip one up, bus later it proved depressing.
