On Tuesday afternoon Liston walked
into the stare, his term haling expired

tain department. Ile did not look like
a man who knew anything about lace
curtains. Ile asked one of the saleswo-
men to show him some curtains. The
eirkewontan turned around to take torn
a shelf a box of Curtains when site
heard the noise of the striking of a
match. It Is against the rules of the
storo to smoke, mei thinking the man

whirled around to tell him lie must put
cul his cigar or cigatette. 'L'o her hor-
ror, stto saw the roan had thrown a
lighted match among a lot of lace cur-
tains on the counter. There was a flick-
er and the curtains blazed up. Em-
ployees, hearing the saleswoman s
screams, managed to crush out the

A PITCHED It t !TLE.
Eighty Men Reported Killed in Fight at
Tabriz.
A despatch from St. Petersburg says:
The fighting which took place at Tab-
riz. Persia, on Tuesday, acoording to re -
pc ns that have just come to hand via
Baku, approached the dirnens:ons of a
real battle. Eighty men aro reported
killed and many more were wounded.
Tire exact casualties, however, are not
given. Horsemen under Rachim Khan
took part in the fighting. They enteral
the town to support the Shah. A de-
Rrchmont of 350 revolutionary volun-
teer,, which started for Teheran to de-
throne the Shah, returned to Tabriz af-
ter going forty miles. The initabeants
of Tabriz aro panic.stricken. Only few
anen venture abroad on the streets.
TWO STEEL COMBINES.

kets.
A despatch from London says: Ac-
cerding lo The Iron and Steel Trade
Journal the English and Scottish steel
manufacturers have derided. after all,
root to join the proposed international
tGrnbine, but to ally themselves with
the national ainalgaunat'on that is be-
ing formed to fight the international
trust. This amalgamation, The Journal
declare+, will soon be established. 1l
will consist of the principal American,
German, Russian and French steel com-
parn'o;, and fierce competition, both hero
and elsewhere, with a slump in prices,
may be expected to result from the an-
tagonism of the two combines.

almost hourly in every office where the

thrown into daily temptations beyond
his years of moral strength. Twice al-

BANK CLERK SANK TO DEATH
Was Steering Yacht Near Ottawa When
He Was Swept Overboard.
A despatch from Ottawa says: W. A.
Green, aged 21, of Dartmouth, Nova
Scolia, who has leen a teller in the
Union Bank here for the past year, was
the. victim of a pathetic yachting acci-
(lent cut Lake Ik•schenes, 9 n►ite> from
Ottawa, on Wednesday afternoon.
Green and Mr. and Mrs. Laidlaw,
their two sons, and Miss Brewder
made up a merry party wh ch left Ayl-
mer in a yacht Lt the morreng and
sailed across the lake to Shirley Bay.
On the return trip in rho afternoon the
yacht w as running free Lefair•e a heavy
breeze, and Green was stand:ug cat tt.O
e:cck handling the tiller. Suddenly the
nuties-ill jibed and Green was swept in-
to the lake h the boom. A life preserver
was thrown to hint, but he failed to get
It and before the yacht could be brought
about, he had sunk.
Miss Brewder, who was Green's fian-
cee, became hy-lericaI and subsequently
une.insclons, aid was revived with die
ficully after tate arrival of the yacht at
Ayl►ner. Green's body has not been
recovered.
HEIR OF THE HOWARDS
THE BABY ABOUT 'WHOM ALL ENG-
LAND IS TALKING.
First Earl of Arundel to be Born in the
Historic Castle of the Sante
Name.
Tha ncent birth of a ,on and heir to
the Duko of Norfolk was treated as an
event of almost national importance.
The Di.ko of Norfolk is a man of maik
in many ways. He is the most import-
la
mport-
ant. buy member' of the Boman Church
Li Gtcat Britain. Ifo is a.bo the pre-
mier peer of Great Britain, and the birth
et a s n insures the continuance in the
ducal male line of the ancient !amity
ct Howard or lterevard, which steals
next lo the blood royal at the head of
the English ro.r:ega and 11 acus its des-
cent back to Saxon times.
Arundel Castle, the Duke's stately
Su-! ex home, dales from the tune of
King Alfred, who mentoned it in hie
will. The eleventh Duko spent 33,001,-
00e
3,001-(t(r(. in rebuilding and in:p:oving it, and
the present Duke, ttic fifteenth, has
spent at least $5,000,000 more. The
south side rued grand entrance, as wee
a., the old keep, ate of Saxon nrchitec-
turo, but the chief entrance is a mag.u-
•ficent deep Norman doorway.
It seems strange That, with ho long
and continuous a family history, the
child that was born on Saturday shou:d
b) the first heir 10 the dukedom that
has been born
IN THE iIISfORIC CASTLE.
The titles to whkh he will succeed ore
more numerous than those held by a1 -
most any other peer. Ile will be Duke
cit Norfolk, Earl of Arundel, of Surrey
and of Norfolk, Baron Filzalan, Clun
and Oswaldwtre, and Baton Mallravers.
Ile will also be Earl Marshal and Here-
ditary •Marshal of England. an ofrtce,
together with that of Chief Butler, con-
ferred upon h:s predocessor in the fif-
teenth century, with the magnificent
emolument of £20 a year suitably to
maintain its dignity.
Tho pre..-ont holder of all these dig-
nit:cs and title> is probably ono of the
►::ost unassuming men in the British
Isles. Ile succ•eeted les father as W.
leenth Duko in 1860, when only 13, and
sevcn'een years eller married a duugi:-
ler of Lord l) nirg'on. 'flare was only
ene child el this marring a sal, wh( se
mental and physical weaknoes was the
tragedy of his paroles' 1 f,'.
