Exeter Advocate, 1900-9-27, Page 4!ter Abt-torate Claas. H, Sanders, Editor and Prop THURSDAY, SEPT, 27th, 1900 NOTES AND COMMENTS There is great, anxiety among own- ers of sheep in various parts of Michi- gan over a new disease that is killing of waole flacks. Near the village of Custer, east of Ludington, a matt namea Holmes has lost upwards of eighty heaa. Reports of a simllaa character come from Eaton and Kala- mazoo counties, and from several other localities ia Michigan. Probably nine people out of every ten believe that the condition of the moon foretells the weather,and divulg- es other secrets too nunierons to men- tion, just as a small percentage believe in spiritualism, fortune-telling„ etc. The late Mr. Carpmael, superintend- ent of the Dominion Meteorologipal Offices, Toronto, told tile waiter of this paragraph some years ago that these 111.0011 prognostications were all moon- shine. He said, to, test the supersti- tions, they had kept track of wet moons and dry moons, hot moons and cold •moons not for a few months at a time, but for years, 'and the alleged iodica- tons wrong as often as they were right. Mr. Carpmael laughed at all of the time honored methods by which the oldest residents fortell the wea Him-. He declared there was noth- ing whatever in any of these so called signs. * alunicipal conucils will do well to note the following decision recently 'rendered in the ease of Huffman vs. Township of Bayham, in which the pati, -tiff secured $1500 damages. The ease (kit', with obstructions on high- ways and the Court of Appeal's de- cision was as follows: "A milkstand built on a highway by or adjoining •property and projecting over the travelled way is such an obstruction to the highways as to constitute want -of repair within the meaning of the Municipal Act, and where such an obstruction wasahown to have exist- ed for three years and the municipal corporation having jurisdiction over the road in question, had taken no •steps to have it removed they were held liable in damages for an accident caused by it." Rai• sing of Chickens. An open letter from Mr. Gilbert, of the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, who is the recognized Poultry Anthority of Canada, on }low to Sell Chickens at a Profit. The farmers throughout Ontario have not as yet recognized the import- ance and ,yalue to themselves of a great Centre station, where they can send their chicken at any season of the year, and where they would get a fair • price (which they would know before shipping). There is beyond a doubt a great deal of money to be made'out of chickens, that is to say, to he -made • out of the right kind of chickens -such • for instance, as Plymouth Rock and Wyandottes and some of their crosses, ' for the larger birds are certainly the • most in demand when sold for food, and more especially so when sent to a great fattening concern like the Cana- dian Produce Co., Christie Sb. ,Toronto. This Brut fatten the chickens and put them in shape for exporting to the • British niarket, where a large bird is in demand. The Canadian Produce Company have agreed to send single crates to any farn3er. In this way a .raiser of poultry on a small scale would be able to dispose of his stock with the same facility and at as large a price as the roan who raises in large quantities. The Company will not only send one or more crates to those'whowrite for tlaern,but they will pay express charg- es both on the crates going empty as well as on the crates returning full. This includes the express charges on the weight df the birds themselves, as -well as on the returning crate. In this way it will be readily seen that the • farmer has nothing to do but write for what crates he needs (each crate holds about thirty birds), to put his birds in the crates and. send them back addres- aed to the Company in Toronto, where the birds will be paid for at the weights • when they arrive,and cheque or money order will be sent the same day in pay- ment. This is not only a great boom to farmers at the present moment, but -will be the means'of causing an unlim- • ited demand for early broilers in the -spring a,, prices running from sixty to seventy cents per pair according to the market. There is one requisite, hoaa ever, that every farmer must consider, and. that is, unless the birds are strong • and healthy they are of little use for exporting. The birds do not need to be fat, but they do need to be large, • healthy and strong, and the sooner the farmer realizes the advantages he can obtain by raising the correct kind of • birds the sooner he will be able to make a considerable amount of money, in • fact, a large runcrunt of money, out of •a department of his farm which has hithertofore been considered of little value to him. Full instructions as to the proper care, feeding and manage- ment of the young chicks from time • of hatching to inarketing as well as particulars as to the breeds which make the most rapid flesh formers,can be had free of charge on application to e.

Buildings:-Besides the ones already mentioned the Bank of Eng- land, General Post Office and the Roy- al Exchange, are among the many you might spend a few minutes looking through. For publics it is well supplied and everyone is well run, all too by bar maids. You never see a man tend- ing bar. It is rather expensive living in hotels as three shillings is the lowest bed you can get, meals accordingly. It is best to take private rooms and take your meals where you like. Having indulged in the sights of Old London as long,as time would allow I made preparations to go to Paris. The train was to leave at 9 pan. The even- ing was dreary as usual and the rain poured long before we started and it continued to pour and the wind in creased in force till terror seemed t reign in the hearts of all that had made the journey before, for law I dreaded nothing for I could see no danger.

We were driv en like cattle, you might say, throng alleyways and finally on to a channe vessel. Soon she left the dock and it was then the sad part of the journey began. The vessel was tossed and lashed with the waves; such a dreary night, pails, buckets,chains, ropes,etc., etc., that were not securely fastened were driven across the deck and occas- ionally you would be brought to your senses by being struck by one. Such a time of sea sickness I never before or after witnessed. The crew were even sick, as for myself I hugged an iron post for three hours and a half and you might say kept dine with the ocean. Every bound the vessel made a wave would cover her over and the deck was flooded. You could see men holding on to the side of the vessel re- ceiving the full benefit of the waves. Although sick unto death I could not refrain from laughing at the old wo- men and pretty young maids moaning and groaning and no one to offer a helping laand. It was a sight to be re- membered. Sea sickness when so se- vere soon compels you to give up all hope and thought for the future. It takes, as a general rule four hours and a half to cross at this point,but on this night sixhours andat half were spent and then three quaatars of an hour to tie up. It was then I longed for a camera, the haggard look, the ruffled collar and the wet clothes would make a picture. Such a night and the thoughts of haying to cross again al- most droye one to despair. Again the passengers werealriven from the ves- sel in an inhuman way through a narrow gangway around through a building and down a street unto a French train. Ten of us were boxed in a box stall, as it were, and compelled to stay there till we reached Paris. We reached the city about 11.15 a.na. and after going through considerable per- formance and motions we found our- selves in an open space where 100 or more cabs and basses were waiting to convey us to the different hotels. I mounted Cook's bus and climbed to the top and took a seat alongside the driv- er, No words were exchanged, I simp- ly admit ed his fine team without tell- ing him so -he was French. The drive was two and a haaf miles through the pretty part of the city. The air was pleasant, everything looked beautiful and the city was all astir. As we drove along new and varied sights loomed up and I thought we were amply re- paid for our troublesome trip across the channel. • It was only a short time till the hotel was reached and our rooms itnd dining hall assigned. I ate my first breakfast at 12 m., and I must say it was the daintiest and best meal I ever sat down to since I left Canada. Exhibition: This covers a large space of ground, much larger than any prev- ious exhibition in Paris. It may be di- vided into five parts, viz: -1. The Champs Ely,sles: you enter this by main entrance which is a monumental gate, allowing 30,000 persons to pass in per hour. • It consists of three enormous arches, forming a tri -angle andisup- porting a dome, the top, being 100 feet high. Each side of the gate is decor- ated by two spires, 140 feet high. At night it is splendidly illuminated by twelve arc lamps and over 3000 incan- descent lamps, incased in colored glass. The chief attractions here are the Gar- dens and the fine Art Palaces of which there are three. The large palace con- tains the finest pictures and statuary of French -origin, and also a collection from all parts of the world. The great hall is reserved for, sculpture which is the finest the world can produce. The other building contains the most re- markable collection of jewellery, tap- estry, silk goods, furniture, wood cuts, etc., that has ever been brought to- gether in the world. In the gardens, surrounding these palaces, the horti- cultural disPlaY Is of the mosb magnifi- cent description. The brilliant and ever-changing arra.ngernent of flowers, plants and Shrubs and the gigantic reen houses with their marvellous collections of plants are a source of wonder and delight to every visitor. 2. The Esplanade des Invalides:-This is divided into six small French flower ardens, which really dazzels the eyes f visitors. Thee gardens are lined by double row of palaces of the same eight and form. They are continuous nd you can go -from one to the other ithout going in the open air. One ay is for the French exhibit and the Hier for the foreign exhibit.

When you need medicine you should get the best that rtioney can buy, and experience proves this to be Hood's Sarsaparilla. Two masked men entered the house of Geo. Jacks, Chatlaira, shortly after midnight Monday night and at the point of revolvers demanded money. The whole household was held at bay while they ransacked thehortse. They only got $7 for their pains. No.jewel- ry was touched. The marauders have not been arrested as yet. Saturday, Rosa Caroline, youngest daughter of Mr. Emanuel Grant, a farmer, who lives a mile north bf Hol- land Landing, was accidentally drown- ed. The child, who was thirteen months of age, was only missed.a few minutes when Mr. °Grant found her in a tub of water, she having fallen in, head first, Mr. James Turner, a carpenter at Esson's planing mills, Stratford, met with what may prove a fatal accident Thursday afternoon. He had placed a ladder so that he could put a belt on a pulley, for which reason the speed of the engine was slackened. While attempting this his clothing was caught on the shafting, and he was pulled around with it several times before the engine could be stop- ed. His clothing except his boots and socks, was alMost entirely torn from his body-, and he was left hang- ing by one arm that had been partly twisted around the shaft. The engine was stopped and be was soon extricat- ed. SHOT AT WATERDOWN. Hamilton, Sept. 23.-A cold-blooded murder was committed in the village of Waterdown about 9.15 to -night, when a young lady named Griffen, of Dundas was shot by one of two men who are at present unknown. Miss Griffen was riding in a buggy with a young man, Geo. A. Pearson, an em- ployee of Mr. Sohn Lampuran, butcher, corner of Queen and Duke streets this city. When the shooting occurred the pair, having been at Carlisle, were on their way to the city and were driving through,Waterdown, when two men in a rig drove up behind them. The two men drove past Mr. Pearson and Miss Griffen, and as they did so one of them deliberately pointed a revolver at the young man and woman and fired. Two cartridges were emptied from the revolver in rapid succession, and Miss Griffen fell from the rig dead. Her companion escaped injury. In the confusion that followed the terrible deed his horse, which was from a Ham- ilton livery, got away and was stopped at Anderson's hotel, just beyond the city limits. Coroner McGregor, of Waterdovvn was notified, and he ar- ranged to hold an inquest. The city police were telephoned to and were ip- formed that the horse the murderers were driying was a tall animal. Efforts were at once made to capture the men, "Never Qoit Certainty For Hope You rnaY take Hood's Sarsaparilla for all diseases arising from or promoted by impure blood with perfect confidence thai It will do you good.

London, Sept. 24,-(3.30 a. The morning WiPerszare too fully oc- cupiecl with the general election cam- paign to bestow much attention upon the Chinese Problem, The Standard, which discusses edi- torially the replies of the 'United States Government, especially that re- fusing support to Germany's pro- posal, says: The policy thus laid down implies the existence at Washington of a very exag-gerated estimate of the good 'Will of the Chinese rulers. It is to be feared that the action of the United States wi.11 lead to weaken the moral influence of the allies, and for this reason it is to be greatly regretted." According to the Pekin correspond- ent of The Daily News, wiring Sept. 16, the Chinese declare most positive- ly that the Empress -Dowager and the Emperor will in no case return to the imperial palace in Pekin, as they holcl that it 'has been desecrated by the intrusion Of barbarians. This irreconcilable attitude receiI'es confirmation in many reports emanat- ing from Shanghai. One of these is that as a reply to the denunciation of Prince Tuan and others by the viceroys an imperial edict, dated. Sept. 17, deals most leniently with the Boxer movement, and reminds the people that both the Boxers and Chinese Christians are Chinamen who shall receive imperial protection if they quietly disperse to their homes. The edict points- out that it is im- possible for the Imperial Government to distinguish between good and bad Boxers. It says, however, that if the rebel Boxers still continue to as- semble they will pe dealt with sum- anarily. . XAnother report asserts that the edict frankly decalres that no execu- tions can be sanctioned until an ade- quate inquiry has been made. Further indications that Prince Tuan has res.unted his former ascend- ancy are fonrid in the Shaghai reports of his promotion and in the state- ment from the same quarter.that Gen. Tung Fuh Siang has been appointed generalissimo of the Northern Chinese armies, and Prince Chaung, deputy commander -Lin -chief of the Boxers, has been made a Brand Councillor. It is also reported that Lah, former 'Gov- ernor of Kiang. Su Province, a Man- chu, and bitterly anti -foreign, has benn appointed :to succeed Li Hung Chang at Canton. - 'According to -various accounts ' of the Pei Tang affair, the Chinese had anticipated that the allies would at- tack in force. The Britishers and others who leff Pekin with the in- tention of cutting off the retreat of the Pei Tang garrison, arrived too late. They were only half -way to ..their destination when the forts were Advices to The Standard from Shanghai place the losses of the allies before Pei Tabg as 300, principally due to the explosion of mines, one of which, 200 yards long, exploded like an earthquake, killing and wounding large numbers and literally blowing two mounted officers to pieces. Li Makes a Proclamation. ' Taku, SApt. 19. -Li Hung Chang has caused a proclamation to be posted in the principal cities of the Chi Li Provinces, calling uponthe people and soldiers to e:cterniinate all the Boxers. All the taohais, magistrates and prefects deserting) their posts will be replaced by others, The military officials are di- rected to count the troops and report to Li Hung Chang who, the pro- clamation says, will arrange all matters with foreign nations. 60,000 -WORKMEN Resume Work After Three Months of • L'nforeed Idleness. Cincinnati,, Sept. 24. -The Confer - enc Comniittees of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Work- ers and of the manufacturers, at 6.30 o'clock Saturday morning signed the wage scale that will be effective un- til July,. 1901. It is what is known as the yearly scale, which takes ef- fect usually in July. Owing to the unusual fluctuations of the market, the new scale had not been signed when the mills shut down June 30, and the conditions have been unfav- orable ever since June, so that the mills have been idle almost three months. Some mills will start to- day, and all others as soon 'as possi- ble. ' . Means Work For 60,000. • This decision means employment to- day to over:60,000 workingmen, who have been idle since June. President Schaefer and Commission- er Nutt jointly gave out the follow- ing official statement on Saturday: "The rate for boiling is ,$4.75 per ton, based upon a one cent Card rate, with the same basis running up to one and two-tenths for the card rate, or $1.20.
