Nations generally become rael-The Ulekednebn of the nation is corrupt in practice before they bream rupt in principle, When all readily forth under the figure of siekneee or e" embraved oaks which a few introdueed, injury, which Jehovah was willing to it was quite evident that they had no cure. See ilos. 14: 4, Iniquity of alphe living root of piety within them. They raim wos discovereS-When there were .prospects sof improvement in. one re- spect the disease of the nation broke Olt in a different form. The term Eph- raim is often used for lerael. The wick- ednese of :Samaria -A repetition for em- phasis of the thought in "the iniquity of lephreirn." Samaria wee the eapital of henve there was Wickedness at the very centre of the nation. Cometh in spoileth withouta-There were enentiee of the nation within it, and without were the Assyrians to rob seed oppress. 2. Consider not in their hearts -They do not heed the demands ot con - saki -ice. They think the Lord does not regard their wrong -doing. Beset them about ---They are entengled hi sin, and repentance is far from their thoughts. ;3. Make the king glad, ete.-ethe king and the other leading men hi the kingdom delight in tile sine common to the na- tion. 4. An an oven heated -The eag- owes with which the nation pursued sensual pleneures is compared to the heat of an oven. As the baker heats the oven for use, and then allows the fire to smoulder until the oven is again needed, so king and people plunged from one excess to another. 5. In the day of our king -Either the coronation day of the royal birthday is meant. The prophet quotes the worde of the princess. -Cheyne. Such a cele- bration is mentioned in Matt. 14: 6, and the terrible coneequences of the revel- ry are portrayed, Have made him sick -"Made themselves sick." -R. V. in- dulgence in intoxicants produces the ,same effects in all ages end in all lands. The sickness that accompanies and im- mediately follows a debauch has lasting consequences. 'Muscle, nerve and brain are weakened. With bottles of wine -- The Ttevieed Version has, "With fever of wine." Alcohol fires the brain and pro- duces riot, seneeless assaults and mur- der. The word, bottles, indicates that excessive amounts of strong drink were consumed. Stretched out his hand with scorners-The king entered into close relations with proud, lawless imen. Hosea, may, perhaps, refer to some lawless pro- ject decided upon in the intoxication of .the revel. -Cam. 13ib. Strong drink robs a king of his senses as quickly as it eobs his subject. 6. While they lie in wait. The people were so far gone in wickedness that they were eager to plan some new wrong or excess. A flaming fire -The figure of the baker and his oven is continued. If passion slumbers, it is to awaken later and be like a iire. 7. None .... that calleth unto me -Je- hovah was completely ig,nored. S. Ephraim mixed himself among the people -Better, peoples, as in the revieed version. Israel sought help of Egypt and of Aeeyriet instead of calling -upon the Lord. A cake not turned -The ancient method. of baking cakee, or loaves, in embers required that they ehould. be frequently turned, otherwise they would be burned on one side and unba,ked on the other. The figure rep- resents Israel as inconsistent and ruined, both politically and religiously. The figure of the oven may be continued and the nation may be represented as burned to its destruction by the fire of evil which it had itself kindled. 9. Strangere have devoured -Foreign nations had oppressed Israel and. had taken. away great resources from the nation. Gray hairs -The figure changes to that of an aged man. The nation was ,growing old and about to go down to ruin. He knoweth not-Ierael did not realize the nearness of deetruction. 10. The pride of Israel -The haughty disobedience to the law of God, and the bold defiance to- ward Jehovah. IL Hastening toward. destraction (vs. 11-16). 11. Like a, silly dove without heart -The dove is celebrated for its simplicity and unsuspicioue nature. (Matt. 10: 16.) An Arable provery says, "There is nothing more simple than a dove."-Whedon. Egypt Assyria -Israel sought aid from each of these nations without coneidering that euch alliances would be the nation's ruin. 12. spread my net -While Israel as "a silly dove" is passing now to the Egyp- tiane, and now to the Meyriane for suc- cor, the Lord is carrying out his purpose to ensnare the nation. eke their congre- gation hath heard -The prophete had faithfully given them messages from God. 13 Though I have redeemed them -Jehovah had again and again deliv- ered Israel from their enemies, and would deliver them again; if they would harken to him. Have spoken lies against me - The attitude of the people of Israel was one of open defiance. 14. With their hhart-The people had not ceased en- tirely to worship Jehovah or to call upon him, but their petitions were in- eincere; they did not come from the heart (Isa. 29: 13).-Whedon. Howled upon their beds -Although they were restlese and wretched and complained bitterly of their condition, they would not Seek. God. Assemble themselyee for corn and wine -This may mean that the iteople.met together to implore Jehovah tor a harvest, At the same time they rebelled againet him. They desired the good things he had to beet'ow, but would not submie to him. 15. Though I have tarughe and strengthened their arms (R. .)----The Israelites had had a proof of this not long since when "the Lord saw the affiktion of Israel, that it was ver • letter," and "eaved them by the hen3d ef Jeroboam, the son of Joash,‘"- Ciheyne.

The more their corrup- tione were examined, the more and more desperate they appeared. God had be- gun to contend with them by his judg- ments. A practical disbelief of God's infinite wisdom and. Government was at the root of all their wickedness. Eph- riam is described as very immoral, cor- rupt and profligate, In Samaria, fraud, y101(11Co and robbery were perpetrated in the incest flagrant manner. "A cake not turned" is an apt emblem of an in- consietent character, and of a people who served God by halves. The court and country were elike eorrupt. They "were mingled among the heathen and teemed their works" (Psa. 100:35). Their dieregard of God's attitude toward their Sins led them to revel in iniquity, so that. rulers and people rejoiced in their own wickedness. IL Advanced by hypocrisy and vice. The people of Israel learned to palliate omissions of duty, to excuse indulgences in sin and to accustom themeelves to acts which at one time they would have abhorred. They justified unholy, un - scriptural and ungodly conduct in them- selves and others. They were in accord with the doctrines and 'delusions of gros- sest idolaters. They fell into every spe- cies of Nice and dissipation. Some no- knowledgement of God was made out - weirdly, but true repentance was nee in their hearts. They were a nation made up of contradictione, always in one extreme or another. They were by turns very religious and repentant, but repetance. Theirs was a grief for the consequencee and punishment of sin, and not for the guilt of it in the eight of God. Nothing so tends to harden the heart as the frequent repetition of such imperfect repentance. Israel made an effort to hide the eigns of a weakened faith, an impaired conscience and a declining spirituality. Warned by the servants of God of the dangers that were before them, the people were for a time startled into a kind of eeforma- tion, yet Ephraim illustrates the unde- cided character of their religion, disre- gard for righteousness and affection for earthly indulgences. In this lesson gray hair is not associated either with parental honor or with mature wisdom or with piety, but with unconscious spir- itual decay. III. Culminated in national extinction. Hosea's prophecy is one long wail for the unhappy people whose day was over, and they knew it not. He saw the break- ers ahead, but could not persuade hes people to See them, or believe that they were there. The land. was wrapped in fatal security while indulging visions of prosperity, which hindered them from seeing the decay elready visible to the eyes of God and his prophets. They had fatally identified themselves with the sons and daughters of idolatry around. there Their voluntary and criminal blindness to their degeneracy expoeed them to peculiar danger. It prevented them from using the proper means of re- fornuttion. It disposed them to resist all means used to reform them. They were too credulous and void of judg- ment and reason, while they were cover- ed with the marks of religious degener- acy. They turned what God designed for good into evil. Their rage was min- gled with terror. God employed the As- syrians as a net to ensnare Israel. -T. R.

Chicago, Nov. 3. -Broken by thirty- six hours' "silent treatment," Charles N. Kramer confessed yesterday after- noon that he killed Sophia Singer, the Baltimore heiress found murdered on Monday night. Kramer, whose stage name is Conway, added a new feature to the statement made on. Friday by his wife, Beatrice Ryall Kramer, known on the variety stage as "the burlesque queen." He said that he had knocked Miss Singer down in self-defence when. she attacked him with a razor after he had rebuked her for making, he said, a suggestion to Mrs. Kramer to go out and meet some men. Kramer exonerated his wife from all blame in connection with the crime. Kramer, the former clown, high diver and circus acrobat, paced his cell all night begging for a word from the turnkeys, who refused to vouch- safe him a syllable. He heard his wife's outcries as she made her con- fession on Friday, but could get no information as to their cause or what she said. 1***.*********. 5,000 YEN STRIKE C. P. R. Members of C. B. of R.

Wingham Ont., Nov. 4. --One of the largest fleeces of geese ever seen in the3 district passed over the town early last evening, headed south. The birds were flying to within a few feet of the street. At least five hundred birds wore in the flock. As this is exceptionally early for the wild geese to be going south in such numbers, it is considered a sign of a severe and long winter.

Perhaps more than a eevieed act, the Government's bill is almost a new act, designed to be au improvement on the existing statute, shnplified, tied and made workable. At the last seseion of the Legisla- ture, lion. W. J. Hanna. Provincial Secretary, introduced what purported. to be a revision of the Municipal Act. The bill was given a lira reading, and subseeuently withdrawn, eo that it mignt pieced in the hands of county and district court judgee, solicitors and municipal officials for criticism and suggestion. Tlae bill is now printed, and will be distributed within a few days. Those receiving a copy will be asked to send any observations they may have to make to Mr. W. B. Wil- kinson, Law Clerk of Municipal Bills, so ttlii,(axituteleidey. may receive consideration by Mr. Hanna before the bill is actually in - The revision represents the work. of two years by expert draughtemen, speci- ally engaged for the purpose, and, fol- lowing the Minister's instructions, the old act containing about 750 sections, including the numerous amendments since 1903, has been vut down to 538 sec- tions, and at the eame time incorporat- ing a number of other acts and parts of calcutdsedw.hich should more properly be in - As the municipal ant is practically a text -book to municipal officials, the object of the Government has been to make the procedure as simple and uni- form as possible, and as nearly as may be to express the intention of the Legis- lature in language so that he who runs may read Among the many changes, the fol. lowing more important have been noted: To remove doubt in matters relating to annexation of territory as to what con- stituted a ratepayer the word "elector" is used throughout. The occupant of land under an agreement of sale with the owner is deemed to be the owner, and the unpaid purchase money is to be deemed a mort- gclaIN:Vdeeh.de.rever power to acquire land for the purpose of the corporation is given, the power to expropriate is to be in. Municipalities in districts are to be placed in the same position as munici- palities in counties, except as to the amount of property qualification requir- ed. This givee widows and. spinsters phasessing the necessary property quali- fi.catios in a townehip in any of the districts the right to vote at municipal elections and on local option bylaws, etc. At present only males have the right to vote in municpalitiee formed. in unorgan- ized territory, MORE POWER FOR RAILWAY BOARD. The power to erect a village or town into a city, which us now possessed by the Lieutenant -Governor in Coun- cil,. is to be transferred to the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board, as is also the power to separate a junior township from a union of townships in an unorganized territory, and the senior township is made liable to cred- itors for all debte of the union. A change has been introduced pro- viding that all by-laws conferring; rights, privileges, franchisee, immuni- ties or exemptions on a factory in a territory, which is detaehed from one municipality and added to another, shall remain in force. Where a village is incorporated or territory is detached from one and added to another municipality, the taxes for the current year belong to the municipality from which the ter- ritory is detached. The property qualification for can- didates for aldermen in cities in un - .organized territory is fixed at $400 if freehold, and $800 if leasehold. CHANGES IN ELECTION ACT. Changee in the election act provide that where a candidate is unable, through illness or absence, to file a declaration of qualification any per- son who knows the facts may make the declaration for him if he' believes the candidate will accept office, if elected. Returning officers and de- puty returning officers are made con- servators of the peace, and are given power to cause, by verbal order, the arrest of any person causing a dis- turbance on election day. Where a voter cannot speak English an inter- preter may be employed and, if an interpreter cannot be found, the per 60I1 is not to be allowed to vote. The provisions dealing with offencee re- lating to ballot papers and documents connected with the eleetion have been adapted from the election act with the result that the penalties provided are greater than those in the present act, Proceedings begun hy one council may be continued and completed by a saceeeding one. The power to lkense a trade, bush nem or calling includee with it the power to prohibit the carrying on of sueh trade without a lieense. The action of the Board of Polk. Com. missioners in refueing or revoking a. licenee cannot be questioned in any court. A eorporation expropriating land may, on paying into the High Court a sum sufficient in the opinion of the #Tudge to satisfy the compensation, enter upon the land, and the Judge may issue his warrant te the Sheriff in ease any resistance is offered.

Norfolk, Va., No. 3. ----Lashed to the mast with apparently all vestige of be- ing saved vanished, the lone survivor of the erew of the• three -masted schooner john Maxwell, stranded a mile east of New Inlet life-saving station, wrapped I himself in a piece of the schooner's rag- ged sail at sundown on Saturday and waved his hand to the life-savers on the shore, who stood silently watching the fight of the man against death, unable to lend a helping hand. A few hundred yards away from the fast sinking schooner stood the battle- ship Michigan and the tug Sorona, both of them unable to save the silent figure in the rigging of the schooner. Life-savere made no less than fifteen attempts to launch life -boats to send to the stranded vessel, but each time the high surf beat them back and cast their frail craft high on the beach. Two life-savers were caught beneath the boat as it war- cast upon the beach and. were painfully iniured. When the life-savers first saw the Maxwell struggling in the high seas there were two men clinging to the rig- ging. W1. -ea they failed to launch a life- boat, the nee -savers shot a line to the stranded Ship. The aim was true and the line fell across the vessel. One of the men clinging to the rigging grabbed it, held it for just a second, then let it slip through his fingers, and was too weak to hold it. Again the life-savers shot a line over the vessel, but this time it fell short. Then for the third, four and fifth time the line was sent through the air, but the• men clinging to the rigging were helpless, and did not have the strength to grasp the line, the one thread be- tween them and death. 1,Vhile the life- savers were making to again try to get the line in the hande of one of the men on the schooner they saw one of them throw up his hands, fall frcim the rig- ging, and be swallowed up by the seas. The lone survivor made several at- tempts to grab the line, but failed. He could not hold it even when it came to him. 40.1. C. P. R. WRECK Head-on Collision Near North Bay Saturday:.

Woodstock despatch: That Agnes Mc- Kissock came to her death by poieon tak- en hy herself, but that the evidence was not sufficient for the jure? te,; say what kind of poieon, or whethei taken with suicidal intent, constituted the verdict returned at Lakeside this afternoon at the inquest on the Scottish domestic who died on October 2Ist under circum- stances indicating eel f-e.J.ministered strychnine poisoning. The jury was out two houre. The evidence of three witnesses was taken to -day, throwing no new light on the case. A letter read from W. E. Ire- land. of Toronto, stating that the girl worked for him for two days and then left one morning at eix o'clock, seeme to confute the story she had. told of her visit to Hamilton, and of subse- quently escaping from a woman in To- ronto, as the girl was only absent two days from Lakeside.

Havana, Nov. 4. -The sweeping victory of General Mario Menocal and Enrique Jose Barone, the Conservative candi- dates for the Presidency and Vice -Presi- dency, and of the rest of the Conserva- tive ticket for the executive offices of the Cuban Republic, appears to be fully confirmed by the returns received from the provinces during the night. El Tri- unfo, the Administration organ, con- tinuee this morning, however, to claim that Alfredo Zayas,,the Liberal candi- date, has been elected. There is practically no doubt that the Conservatives carried all the prof:flees, with the possible exception of Matan. zas, but their majorities were not very great, and in ,sorae places the vote was extremely close. The Liberals appear to have carried only a few municipalities. The only place where there was serious trouble during the election was the email town of Jiguani. in Oriente Province, where a partisan clash resulted in the destruc- tion of the regietration lists, and this rendered tile election impossible. In Ha- vana city one man was shot and killed last night during an election dispute, but; no other conflict occurred here. BOATS GO DOWN Crews Have Hard Time Reaching Safety.
