TRE EXETER ADVOCATE, TRUBSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1895, NEWSY CANADIAN ITEMS. Week's Commercial Summary, general break. in wheat occurred early last week, enlznineting on Tuesday with a new raord for May wheat, almost down to 57 at New York, Option trading amounted tea 11.,000,000 bushels on that single day, which was newly equal to any two other days this year. Commercial pa; ex falling due on the 4th was fairly well met, about the usual pereentege ,•eking for renewals. The most trying months will be March and April, but even in these months the amount of paper due will be compara- tively light. The obligations assumed by the retail trade last autumn were probably le -s than for some y:• ars past, and indications tyre t":at the financial disasters for the eoming two months wi.1 not ereate any unusual ripple. There were recorded last week 52 fail- ures in the Dominion as against 54 the previous week, and 60 for the correspond- ing week of a year ago. Ontario with 80 had 8 more than all the ot'-,er provinces —none of which, though, were of finan- cial importance. Quebec had 11 failures; one was rated over $5,000, one under $1,000, and 1 e others had our lowest • credit orbauk rating. Nova Scotia had two, Ne B: unswick one, Manitoba three, British Columbia five. None re- ported front Prince Edward Island. The oommer sal situation in Ontario is unchanged. The snow s. orms have been followed by zero weather, which has been so severe in Q any localities that traffic. has been semewhat impeded thereby. Business interests are also suffering by the increased activity in political circles, which have gi en rise to a feeling that elections are drawing near. The general feeling is th-t elections cannot come too soon, and the sooner that they are over the -better. Ta iff reform creates uncer- tainty and distrust, and while such feel- ings last there is little hope in any im- prev- ment in trade. The business situa- tion is not without its favorable signs, and with the elections over, merchants and manufacturers would be able to adapt themselves to the new circumstan- ces. As it is, travellers are sending in others for only small sorting -up parcels, and prices generally remain unchanged. THE WEEK'S HAPPENING,. Interesting Items and, Incidents, Import- ant mporta it and ;instructive, Gathered from the Varices I'rovIneeie The Gazette contains a proclamation further postponing Parliament from Monday next until Monday, March 25th. The yearly contract for supplying coal to the Grand Trunk has been awarded to Shipman, of .Detroit, and the Erie R. R Co. Steps will be taken at ()nee to rebuild the Queen's avenue Methodist Church at London, destroyed by fire on Saturday night, Four convicts attempted to escape from the Kingston Penitentiary on Monday. '!'hey were caught before their plans were matured. It is understood that Mr. Theodore Davie, the Premier of British Columbia, will soon be appointed Chief Justice of that province, The monthly statement of Dominion finances shows a deficit of 88,000,000 for the seven months past, and en increase of $3,373,000 in the public debt. A. modern Sarah has been discovered in Arthabasca, Que., it is said, in the person of a French-Canadian woman 72 years old, who is the present mother of a fine baby boy. On account of the prevalence of a viru- lent form of diphtheria in Ridgeway, Ont., the public school in that village has been closed. There is also an epidemic of typhoid fever. It is rumored in Hamilton that an agreement has been made in New York by which. the l'. H. & B. railway would be taken over and run by the New York Central Railway Company. At a funeral in Quebec the hearse got stuck in the stow and could not be moved.. The horse' were unhitched and the hearse with the lardy therein left standing in the road until next morning. The Good Roads Con ventiou adjourned Saturday. Resolutions were passed pro- viding for the method to be adopted in furthering the objects of the association at the next session of the Legislature. Trinity College School, Port Hope, was destroyed by fire shortly before midnight on Saturday. No lives were lost, though many of the students and others had a narrow escape. The loss is covered by insurance. The London Advertiser says that one ticket in 25 cents' worth is praotically all that stands between the present horse - ear system and an electric road for the city of London. More progressive people would not boast of it. Shortly after midnight on Saturday, Trinity College school, Port Hope, Ont.,, was completely destroyed by fire. The total loss is estimated at $80,000, with an insurance of $45,000 on the building and $16,000 on the contents. Two men were arrested at Ingersoll, Ont., on Sunday, on the charge of mak- ing counterfeit money. The house of ()rte of the prisoners was searched, and the moulds and material with which the spurious coin was made were found. Here and There. Chicago authorities have suoceeded in arresting 180 gamblers at one raid, But the fraternity still at liberty cannot sing: "There's only a few of us left." xxx That Alabama young woman who sued a young man who kissed her while they were passing through a tunnel on a rail- way train was doubly lucky. She got the kiss and damages too. xxx There is an impression in the public mind that if a decision in any court is re- -tamed by a Maher court it is more just than it was before. Once it gets thorough- ly eradicated the way will be clear for practical law reform. •x x x An idea of the extent to which the manufacture of anti -toxin is carried on at the Pasteur Institute may be obtained when it is known that 150 horses are now used to furnish blood for the making•of the serum. The horses are bled at inter- vals of fifteen days, and one horse has already furnished 420 litres (about 370 quarts) of blood, and it seems to thrive on the treatment. xxx As the anti -big -hat bill favorably re- ported to the New York Legislature is not replete with details it e ould not be pre- sumptuous to make a suggestion. Let a brass plate, with a hole or indentation the size of a legal standard hat, be suspened at the door of every theater. Any hat which cannot be passed through without touching may be left in the corridor. xxx A new invention is out, and the preach- ers will go crazy over it. It's a church contribution box that is passed around in- stead of the plate. The coin falls through slots of different sizes, and all halves, quarters and dimes alight on velvet and make no noise; but coppers and five cent pieces drop on a Chinese gong which sounds to beat the band. xxx The best -citizen ideals are rudely shat- tered when alynching community gets conscience-stricken and undertakes to punish its lynchers. That has happened in Mount Sterling, Ky., and it is found that a best citizen who lies been a leader in all the lynching parties of the town for the last dozen years was once sentenc- ed to nineteen years in the penitentiary for murder and actually served five years before he was pardoned. singing and Psalm -chanting. The former declare their intention of leaving the church if the eongregation carried each a motiou, but it was overwhelmingly de- feated. As heretofore, the attendance of young people at the Central Church will bo meager. There was a rear -end collision on the Grand Trunk Friday afternoon be- tween Melton and Wes ou. Two passen- ger trains, No. 4 Chicago express and No. ti local, were proceeding to Toronto, and the former, becoming fast in a snowdrift, was run into by the other. Several pas- sengers were seriously injured, and one, Mr. Frank Joseph, editor of the Law Digest, it is feared has been burned to death in the ruins.. Science Triumphant at Last. Miller's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the outcome of the latest scientific re- searches. There was always a prejudice against taking Cod Liver Oil on account of its disagreeable taste, but Miller's Emulsion is agreeable to the palate, and that is one reason why it has become so popular with the medical fraternity, the hospitals of the country and the house- holds wherever consumption or lung troubles prevails. Miller's Emulsion is the great nerve strengthener and blood maker, and cures Coughs, Colds, Bron ohitis, Scrofula and all Lung affections. In Big Bottles, 50c. and $1. at all Drug Stores. At the session of the convention of St. .Andrew's Brotherhood of Canada, at Woodstock, Out., Canon DuMoulin, of Toronto, delivered an eloquent address, in which he said that woman had for- saken the vocation God had given her in being the keen and constant competitor of man. He said that this wonderful evolution was unscriptural, and that sooner or later it must totter to its fall, The time was not far distant when woman would be deposed from the throne she had usurped, and be driven back . to her own domestic domains. Two hundred applications are filed for the fire brigade vacancies in Toronto, which shows no lack of men willing to take their lives in their hand while bread - winning Owing to the Chief of Police's request that his force be incrersed, a con- tinual stream of applicants pour in. One would-be stalwart, hailing from the coun- try, weighed ever 200 pounds, was 6 feet 2 inches high and measured 48 inches around the chest. As hewas only 20 years old, he was told that if he would call on Ms next birthday he would be ac- cepted. ccepted. A. big horse show is to be held in To- r -lite about Apri115th. If the drill shed is not available, it will be held in the Mutual street rink. It will be a provin- cial affair ; breeders will attend in large numbers, and society will help make it successful, because it is under the aus- pices of the Hunt Club and the Aarigul ture and Arts Association. The Gover- nor General and Lady Aberdeen and the Lieutenant -Governor and Mrs. Kirkpat- rick will be asked to give the first of the proposed series of big horse shows their patronage. ' The shipping trade of Quebec appears to be declining steadily, year by year. The comparative statement of the num- ber and tonnage of sailing vesse s and steamers entered and cleared, just com- piled and issued by the . Onstom-house authorities, shows that the total number of vessels which arrived in 1893 was 431, against only 889 in 1894. Great Britain supplied 234 of these in 1898, and 225 in 1891, %bile Norway and Sweden sent 155 in the former and 128 in the latter year, The total clearances in 1893 were 345, as against 294 in 1894. Most of these went to the United Kiegdom. "A trick of Canadian girls to keep the hands a arm in severe weather is worth noting," says the Ne a -York Times. " They haat a number of silver dollars and slip them into a net ed purse, carry- ing the latter in their muffs. The coins, tr< ated in this way, retain the heat for several hours, and can be thrust inside the dress to prof of the chest , r put about the throat, or applied almost anywhere about the body where the cold is most felt." The story must be true, and th+. girls, eensequently, are responsible for the limited number of silver dollars in circulation in Canada. They also wear necklaces and ear -drops of hot dollars, and cash boxes full of them serve the purposes of hot brinks when they go sleighing. The Monetary Times says that the statement of the assignee of the British American Starch Company of Brantford was not a pleasing one to read. The lia- bilities footed $58,207, and the dividend was $532, about a cent on the dollar. "The Orangemen of Lincoln, Went- worth and Brant will have a grand par- ade arade here on July 12th," says the St. Catharines (Ont.) Journal, '• on which occasion about 300 Truce Blue girls will form part of the attractions of the turn- out." J. E. W. Macfarlane, manager of the British Columbia Iron Works .Society, Vancouver, B. C., was arrested on Thurs- day on the charge of attempting to bribe Add. McCraney in order to secure the contract for the oity's electric light. plant. The Buffalo Express tells of the pro- posed departure at an early day of a party of gentlemen for the gold regions on the Fraser river, B. C.

Shutt, chem- ist at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, before the House Committee on Agriculture, has been printed. It con- tains much information in regard to soils, grasses, food for cattle, water, and fruit preservation. Owing to the repressive measures by the County Council, glanders declined at the rate of 60 per cent. in London last year. Owners of horses and stablemen have been warned that the disease may be easily communicated to man and is almost always fatal. A second wreck took place on the Grand Trunk railway on Friday afternoon near Agincourt, when an express engine ran into a snowplough, which proved as dis- astrous as that near Weston earlier in the day, one engineer being killed, and several train hands injured. Manager Schofield, of the Standard Bank of Chatham, Ont., will, investigate the financial situation of the city, as dis- closed by the Finance Committee, the Treasurer and the auditors, and will, af- ter a careful enquiry, give a written opinion, to he presented to the City Council. The executive of the Missionary Board of the Methodist Church has issued a statement dealing with the trouble among the missionaries in Japan. The missionaries were asked to state their grievances clearly, and Crossley and grievances it was intimated, had velonteered their services for the field. The remains of Frank J. Joseph were recovered from the wrecked train at Wardlaw's Cut, by the auxiliary crew early on Saturday morning, and an in- quest was opened at Weston on Saturday evening. Engineer Mannering is in a critical cendition at the General Hospital, and Mr. Monahan hovers between life and death at St. Michael's. Wellington Burley, Shelby, Neb., writes Mayor Wright, of Kingston, Ont., that he is on the trail of $3,000,000 al- leged to have been stolen in 1812 from a bank in Kingston, and that he would pay the Mayor well for oorresponding with him and giving him details of the theft. 'Kingston was not much of a. town in 1812, and as for the existence of a bank holding $3,000,000, the ptobabilities are against it.

Fifty per cent of the orange crop in, Florida has been killed by the recent cold, Atlanta,Ga., has the unusual experi- ence eri- ence of aout three and a half inches of snow. Last year 61,919,077 pieces of .coin were struok at the Mint, including over 6,000,- 000 worth of sovereigns and half sover- eigns, 8942,856 of silver and £33,485 of bronze. By the decisive vote of thirty-six to twenty the United States Senate on Sat- urday voted to inaugurate the proj of of laying.a cable from the Pacific coast to Hawaii. Miss Anna Gould, the youngest sister of George Gould, is engaged to Count de Casteliance, of Paris, and the wedding- will eddingwill take place in New York some time in the spring. Excessive tea -drinking is said to be on the increase in America. Of the patients applying in one week at a dispensary in Brooklyn, 10 per cent. were said to be tea drunkards. Mrs. Nellie W. Popo was arraigned in the police court at Detroit on the charge of murdering her husband, Dr. Horace E. Pope. She pleaded not guilty, and her examination was set for February 21st. Sixty thousand dollars in gold was found by Jesse J. Drew at his saw mill near Hollandale, Miss., on Wednesday. The treasure is supposed to have been buried during the civil war by Capt. Bar- field. At San Francisco an attempt was made to kill L W. Hellman, president of the Nevada Bank. Wm. Holland feed two shots at the banker near his residence on California street and then shot himself. He is mortally wounded, The shots fired. at Mr. Hellman went wide of the mark. John Bathoff, of Grant County, Ok., awoke the other night to find the dog in the house mad.' He grabbed the animal just as it leaped on his child's bed and had a terrible struggl•. Aided by his wife he killed it with an axe, but was severely bitten on the arms and legs. He will be sent to Chicago to receive. the Pasteur treatment. The first regular scheduled train to make a trip through the new belt line tunnel, which is sixmiles long, and which cost the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company $7,000,000, was the Philadel- phia hiladelphia and New X ork fast freight,`to which a passenger coach was attached for the accommodation of a party of railroad and electric experts. Work has been in pro- gress on the tunnel for more than four years. The Attorney -General of Ontario is said to be be possession of " a little red book,". entries in which tend. to incrimin- ate some of the jurymen in the recent murder trial at Brantford, Ont.. where n Mrs. Harley of New Durham in Brant County was acquitted, despite the most direct and damaging evidence against her of murdering her husband by admin- istering poison in his medicine. Deputy - Adjutant -Gen rat Cartwright, acc rcling to the Toronto News, says that the charges are serious, and that they will be sifted. t , the very bottom. He admit- ted the difficulty of proving that jurors had been tampered with, but he benieved they had been reached in some way. Al- luding lluding to the matter, the Brantford Ex- positor says : " It is to be .boped the Attorney -General's department will thor- oughly investigate horoughlyinvestigate the entire matter, and establish the real facts, whatever they may be. We are unwilling to believe that there are men in this county who have fallen so low as to violate their oaths of office and, Judas -like, betray the ends of justice for a few pieces of silver.

CffiLD NEARLY' FROZEN IN STRATE'ORD. The Beacon says : A report was cur- rent in the city to -day that two negroes had been frozen to death last night in a shell of a house on the Gordon survey. On investigation it was found that one child belonging to a family named Har- ris was badly frozen. There are a num- ber of colored people living in that part of the city, and there is room for some miseionary work of a practical nature among them. The house was without glass in the windows, and there 'was hardly any wood. to make a fire with. The child that suffered was between two and three years of age. The greater part of its little body shows signs of the frost. A Poultry and Pet -stock Association has been formed at Cobourg, Ont., with the object of holding an exhibition on February 26th, 27th and 28th, and March 1st.

The relations between Groat: Britain. and Germany are vera strained, and the disagreeable diplomatic situation is be- ing intensified by the bitterness of the press of : he two countries. In the House of Commons on Monday Mr. John Redmond proposed an amend ment to the reply of the speech from the throne that Parliament be dissolved, and an appeal made to the ooun.try on the question of Home Rule. After speeches by Mr, ohs Morley and Mr. Balfour, the am ndment was lost by twenty votes, Our commercial telegraph reports from the United States are only negatively sat- isfactory. They do not report trade as improved, but say there are 'some points of improvement;" Prices of farm pro- duce are no better all round, though there have been, of course, fluctuations. Iron and steel have declined a little ; some grades of certain goods are lower. In woollens there has been more doing, but prices are weak. Sales of foreign wool in the States are not noticeably larger, with the duty off, than they were for the corresponding week last year. Receipts of corn have been limited, and values are a shade higher. Failures in the United States for the week ended Friday amounted to 281, as compared with 385 for the corresponding week of last year. Consumers of oranges should beware of frozen fruit coming from Florida. An orange specialist 3n Florida says that frozen oranges are poisonous, and deaths have been known to occur from eating them. On the occasion of a former freeze there he says that the Boston or Mas- sachusetts Board of Health forbade the importation of frozen oranges as poison- ous and dangerous to the public health. Notice of such an embargo has not yet been given since the present freeze in Florida. This gentleman says that not only have the orange .groves and the vegetable gardens been seri. ,usly injured, and in many instances wholly destroyed, bat even in the extreme south of Florida the cocoanut trees and the pineapples have been seriously injured, and in some places killed by the frost.

The mouth of the River Mersey is blocked by a mass of ice half a mile long and several hi -mired yards wide. The ice has blocked access to the landing stage and compelled the stoppage of the ferries. Railways in Scotland are still blocked with snow. Snowploughs, which have been sent out to clear the lines, have themselves been imbedded in snowbanks, and the men operating them have suffer- ed severely from the intense cold. IIIS TURBULENT LIFE, Henri Rochefort, who returned in tri- umph to Paris last Sunday, was banished six years ago for aiding Boulanger in the conspire y against the republic in 1888. The plot was aided by the monarchists and the Bonapartists on the one hand and the radicals on the other. Rochefort represented the commune. He took up his residence in London. He is a violent and radical assailant; his writings and speeches are witty, sarcastic, but often coarse. His popularity among the com- munists and radicals is very great. He has always made money out of his talents as a newspaper writer. He is said to have cleared $5,000 a month from La Lanterne, and has always made a large income. During his exile in London Rochefort lived at York terrace, overlooking Re- gent's Park. His greatest pleasure was found in acquiring brie a-brac, which he collected in out -of -the way shops. From his retreat he directed the policy of his newspaper. L' Intransigeant. He often said that he would never accept a pardon from either President Carnot or M. Con - stens. "I would only accept an amnesty," he said, "voted by the Chamber of Depu- ties, by Francs itself." During his en- forced absence from his native land he contributed upwards of $10,01.0 to the poor every year. He is the son of Marquis Rochefort Lueay, and was sixty-five years old January 30. _ He early evidenced a liking for poetry, failed as a lawyer, but in 1868 became distinguished for his sae - castle but somewhat gross attacks on Louis Napoleon in the Figaro over his own sighature, as also for the same kind of attacks next year in the Chamber of Deputies, to which he was elected. For the publication of the Marseillaise in 1870 he was arrested and imprisoned for six months. During the commune his paper, Mot d' Ordre, was so infamous and his personal conduct provoked so many charges and scandals that after the re- public was established he was sentenced to the penal colony of New Caledonia. He and several others escaped thence to London; afterwards to Geneva, where he published La Lanterne. Under the am- nesty of 1880 he returned to Paris, and took control of the new radical paper, L' intransigeant. For articles in this paper he was prosecuted, but acquitted. Wm. Brusseau, who has within a week told two stories of the murder of Dr. Pops in his home in Detroit, Saturday night made a clean breast of the whole affair to the police. According to Brusseau's la- test story, the murder was a carefully planned affair, in which Mrs. Pope, the doctor's wife, was the moving spirit, and $14,000 the object. For two weeks before the fatal day the two planned the crime in every particular. On Saturday night Mrs. Pope made her husband sleep in a chair at her bedside. `.Coward morning she quietly called Braseeau, and the lat- ter secured the hatchet and struck the doctor on the head. Then, in obedience to the woman's command, he rained a half-dozen or more blows on their victim's skull. Mrs. Pope's eight-year-old daugh- ter, who slept at her side during the mur- der, was then awakened, and the three carefully` rehearsed the story they were to tell the police. It is said that out of a total population in New York of 1,891,000 70x46 per cent., or 1,838,000, live in 39,189 tenement houses. Apartment houses of the•better class are not included, among tenement houses. The Springfield Republican com- ments on the remarkable fact that the lowest death rate is in one of its most thickly settled tenement -house distriets, occupied by some of its poorest people, in the wards where the Jewish population is the densest. The death rate among the crowded Jews was in 1891 only 18.73 to each thousand, and in 1898 only' 17.14. The oomparatively cleanly habits of these Jews, their observance of the Mo- saic law about ;food, and their abstinence from alcoholic liquors are given as ex- planations of this low death rate. In the Italian distriets the death rate is double what it is among the Jews, and the popu- lation nob so dense, and even in the wards occupied by wealthy people the death rate is greater than among the Sews..

There is rest neither day or night until the nerves ate all unstrung. The oauee is generally . a disordered. stomach, and a cure can bo eiiected by using Parmelee's Vegetable Pills, con.. twining Mandrake and Dandelion Mr. Findley Wark, Lysander, P.Q., writes "I find Parmelee's Pills a first-class article for bilious headache." They Could Do Bettor. Let me give you an instance of fitness. and intelligence of one legislator from Colorado—happily they are not all like him. During the last session of the Leg- islature the women of that state were en- deavoring to secure the franchise, and to that end three of them called upon this - legislator and asked him what his views. were on equal suffrage: Re said : "I hain't never thought nothing about it; and I don't believe in woo en's rights, nohow." "But," they said, "don't you think it is time you did think about it ? Won't, you help us ?" Now mark the beautiful relevancy of Ms reply. Ho leaned back, thrust one - hand into his trousers' pocket, and with the other emphasized his intelligent re- sponse : "I wouldn't marry you, nor you, nor you!" They had asked his opinion on cqua i suffrage ! But their answer was more to the point than his. They said very sweetly : "Well, perhaps your wife couldn't do, any better, but we can." There never was; and never will be, e a universal panacea in one remedy, for all ills to which flesh is heir—the very na- ture of many curatives being such that were the germs of other and differently seated diseases rooted in the system of the patient—what would relieve one i11, in tutu would aggravate the other. We have, however, in Quinine Wine, when attainable in a sound unadulterated state, a remedy for many and grievous ills. By its gradual and judseious use, the frailest systems are led into con- valescence and strength, by the influence which Quinine exerts on Nature's own restoratives. It relieves the drooping spirits of those with whom a chronic state of morbid despondency and lack of interest in life is a disease, and, by tran- quilizing the nerves, disposes to sound and refreshing sleep—imparts vigor to the action of the blood, which, being stimulated, courses throughout the veins, strengthening the healthy animal func- tions of the system, thereby making activity a necessary result, strengthen- ing the frame, and giving life to the di- gestive organs, which naturally demand increased substance—result, improved. appetite. Northrop & Lyman, of To- ronto! have given to the public their stiperiorQuinine Wine at the usual rate, and, gaged by the opinions of scientists, this wine approaches nearest perfection of any in the market. All druggists sell it. There are a number of varieties of' corns. Holloway's Corn Cure will re- move any of them. Call on your drug- gist and get a bottle at once. In Adversity. 4: Cheer up ! The world is not all dark nese and despair. This day may be dark enough to many. Without much to eat, little to wear, out of work, with no friends to help, the temptation may be strong to despair of relief and fly for it from the ills we feel to those we know not. But is that not cowardly? Is it brave and manly to yield to the worst foe we have without a determined struggle? Better days are not far off from brave hearts de- terntined to do right. Times are indeed hard, business has Dome to a standstill, but the world has money enough, and human wants .have not diminished. When the stock of every kind of produce tions has become exhausted, and that time is approaching, business will start up to supply the want, and there will lie the same old call for willing, skillful : hands that there has been in successive seasons of the same kind in the year.

' This question was put to a thoughtful, modest young man by one of his intimater friends recently. "Well, I'll tell you. I carry a cane to- keep okeep from losing my umbrella." "What in the world do you mean ? Hew does your cane protect your um- brella ?" "Simplest thing in the world. Before I began carrying a cane. I was constantly losing umbrellas. Finally I got to think- ing about it, and this is the conclusion T came to. A man has an umbrella with him only on rare occasions. It is an un- usual incumbrance and he easily forgets. it.

Another manner of re- moving all ordinary ink stains is to wash. the article immediately in vinegar and water and then in soap and water.

It can calm passion, soothe sorrow and charm even bodily pain away. It is good for the headache and the heartache.
