250,000 WOMEN
Will Play a Great Part in Next
British Election.
Mention, Oct. 3. -It is expected
that when the general election takes
place women will play a greater part
in, the fight than ever before!' Some
20,000 will enrol themselves as elec.
tieneers. They are members of the
Women's Liberal -Unionist and Tariff
.Bieform Associations, the Primrose
League, the Women's Liberal Fereda-
tion, the Women's Rational Liberal
Association, the Women's Social and
Political Union, the Women's Fe-
deora League, and the Women's Union'
of Suffrage Societies.
Their activities will be various. The
Primrose League will work against the
budget; the Women's Political Union,
against the Conservatives; and the
Suffragette 17nion against any candi-
date not in fever of the franchise for
women. The opinion prevails that it
will be the hardest -fought and most
riotous election ever known in Eng-
land. Thousands of members of the
different women's societies are already
enrolled.

against rats and puffs and all forms of
artificial hair -at least in so far as the
- wearing of such feminine dec,oations by
-the members of the choit: of his chutch
is concerned.
The matter was first broached by the
rector as much as a year ago in the
form of a suggestion. It got to the de-
sired ears all right, but found them
deaf. ,
Last Fridge: when the choir was get-
ting into lac vesuments for the Clyde

Grant. Whatever hair had not accrued

WESLEY'S DIARIES.
They Have Been Deciphered After
Long Years of Labor.
London, Oct. 3. -Recent 'discoveries
Will involve the rewriting of John Wes-
ley's life. The Rev. Nehemiah Curnock
some time ago unearthed a large num-
ber of diaries in Wesley's handwriting,
but written in three way's -obsolete,
shorthand, curiously abbreviated' long
hand, and an extim'Brdinary cipher of
:which no one had a key.
By the unsparing labor of himself and
expert students, keys to the cipher and
shorthand were discovered, and the work
of transeription has meie been completed.
The diaries, edited. by Mr. Curnork, will
be published shortly.
He spent four years in the work of
deciphering the 'diphet used .chiefly in
an Oxford diary, and relating to reli-
gious beliefs. The cipher for a long time
baffled Mr. Curnoek, but a missingletter
at last came to nim in a dream. '
The documents throw a new and
strange light on the development of
Wesley's character, on his literary, polit.
icel and social activity in America, on
the part he played in the creation of a
new church hymnology, and. on his early
life at Oxford. New versions of early
journals have come to light, including a
-beautiful account of the famous Geor-
gian love affair.. The discoveries will
necessitate the rewriting of the great
religious teacher's life.
PREDICTS WAR.

Governor-General Warns Canadians
to be Prepared For Germans.
Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 3.-Governor-
Geneeal Earl Grey, at a banquet tender-
ed him by the Canadian Club at Calgary
declared that in the training of its peo-
ple Canada should. imitate Germany, and
in patriotism.
He asserted that the Germaij menace
was not a political one, but was very
real, and provision should be made to
meet it. War would come in the near
fattire, he said, and Canada should. not
supply merely a Dreadnaught or two,
but should build a navy of her own.
Referrinn to Amerman iminigration,
Earl Grey said:
. "The more they come the better I am
pleased. They make good Canadians.
Nature causes the best man to gravi-
tate to the highest Made Our Ameri-
can friends sink into us as raindrops in
the sea and will like and fight fey our

the field operations in Africa to
which the government is now come
mitted by the despatches of reinforce-

cornmander, is further complicated by
the possibility of a regular declaration
of war between Moeoceo and Spain.
While the Cortes is „closed it becomes
the duty of the Council of State to
authorize unforseen expenditures and
rumors are afloat to -day of dissensions
in the council. It is understood that
the military party, the influence Of
which is growing, now insists that ie
military efforts and sacrifices in
Africa must be compensated by the
permanent occupation of the Moroc-
can coast between Cape Tres Forces
and Tetuan.. King Alfonso is dis-
posed to sympathize with the chains
of the nailitarists, but an unexpect-
ed obstacle has arisen in tho council
where the four Liberals who have
been opposing the campaign in Mor-
occo les a military adventure have
been jokped by another Liberal, creat-
ing a tie in the council.

regarding tho exehange of letters be-

In it majority of cases the correspond-
ence was begun by German girls as an
odd experience, their principal object be-
ing to receive African curiosities and
photographs' and letters from a "black '
prince."
The girls- also have sent their photo-
graphs to Africa, so that in the houses
.of many negroes in the colonies hang the
pictures of young German women of ...
good family. This has been seriously ob-
