It was the Hindee holi-
day, and this festival
9 was the occasion for the
renewal of the death -
dealing riots of August
12th. Moslems andHin-
deem have fought each
other to the death in
variousseotions efthe an -
Mont city. Although but
meagre details of their
battles have been received, it in known that
many persons have been shot or cut to
pieces in the streets.
Public communication between the British
Government officials hero and the Governor
of Bombay has been practically cut off since
noon. At that hour, however, Bombay was
in control of a frantic native mob, which
was burning, killing and destroying.
The rage of the mob was directed espe-
cially against the mesques, several of which
were sacked and burned.
TIIE FIGHT OPENS.
Incensed beyond expreesien at the ruin of
'their temples, the Mohammedans gathered
together inlergebut widely -separated bands,
and fought the massing Hindoos as only the
loliowers of Allah, driven to desperation,
can fight. The troops were utterly unable
•to mope with such separate uprisings, and
the combatants on both sides fell, many of
-them being killed outright, and hundreds of
ethers terribly wounded.
In the midst of this reign of terror, with
bloodshed and confusion en every hand,
:European residents of the city early sought
'shelter and protection in the public build-
ings which were kept under military guard
thr�onghout the day. But comparatively
ilafe as the Europeans were, they were a
pmts-strioken company.
Gunboats in the harbor were cleared for
action as speedily as possible and trained in
:position te cover the native quarters.
A special session of the Cabinet was sum-
moned for to -morrow, and Lord ;Kimberley
'remained en duty late tonight.
THID Rvr•IGIOIIS STRIFE,
There are more than 500,000 Hindooe in
Bombay and about 160,000 Mohammedans.
This race war is the culmination of a long
series of savage fends, which many allege
the Government has taken little Paine to
dt eeurage because it was judged better to
anew the native animositiesbetweenHindoo
and Mohammedan elements than to permit
anyjeintdiacontent with theirBritiahrulers.
It has frequently happened that the Mo.
hammedans have publicly killed a cow (a
seared beast according to the Hindees' re-
ligion) in order to exasperate the latter,
whose common retaliation has been to kill
n pig and throw it into a mosque, which the
Mehammodana regard as the grommet defile-
ment.

FORMER RIOTS.
[Phis is not the first religious riot in India.
In the latter part of 1886 feeling ran high
between the Hindoos and Mohammedans.
A.serieus riot occurred at Etowah, in the
Agra district. The Hlndoo and Moham-
medan festivals clashed. The Moham-
medans interfered with the Hindoo pro -
maiden, set the magistrate at defiance, and
attempted to attack him. The police re-
fused to charge when ordered. The Hindoos
'begged permission to advance against the
Mohammedans. A train with the Eighth
(King's) Hussars on its way to Burmah was
stepped at the Etawah station. A hundred
men were detrained, and they had to charge
the Mohammedan meb with the bayonet.
The threw themselves on the soldiers
and several men were aerioutly injured be -
..fere the people dieporned.
The Hindoos of Allahahad held a meeting
and resolved that no Hlndoo should per -
ohne anything from or employ a Moham-
medan.

TILE. REFORM MOVEMENT.
A few years ago the Indian National
Congress was started among the educated
dames of India of all raoea, religions and
provinces to meet together and discuss
their political wants. The first Congress
was held in Bombay in. December, 1885, and
the fifth in 1889. After the political meet-
ings a social conference for the discussion of
serial reforms in the Hlndoo community is
regularly hold, and from one-half to two-
thirds of the delegates usually attend this
conference.
TFLE MOHAMMEDANS.
In 1889 the Mohammedan delegates at
first opposed, but subsequently fully ao-
copted the Counoil'e reform resolutions. It
has been found impossible to reconcile all
classes of Mohammedans+ to the Congress
proposals. The Mohammedans of Northern
Tndia, led by Sir Synd Ahmed Khan, of
Aligarh, profess that they prefer English
rule as it is to Hindeo rule as they suppose
it might bo, They do not oppose the reao-
lntiona of the Cengrees so mush as to decline
to act with the Hindoos in pressing for
their realization, One of the reselutlons
calls for the appointment of a royal com-
mission te inquire into the working of the
Indian administration.
Owing to the Mnssulman chronology,
whioh reckons the year as combating ef
about 354 days, Mohammedan festivale, as
dated according to English or Hfndeo time,
are continually moving. It follows, of
course, that once in a calculable cycle of
,years any given Mohammedan festival must
all upon the same day as any given Hindoo
,oelebration. Under British rule the mutual
forbearance of the two bodies appears to he
-equal to the strain of a period of exaltation
and obtrusiveness en the part of either ono.
Hindoos in their normal condition can
:'witness with equanimity the religious cele-
lsrations of their Mussulman neighbors, and
Mohammedans, though as a rule of mere
Eery and aggreasive temper, as befits the
votaries of a militant and proselytizing
creed, can in like manner be constrained
by British authority to look calmly upon
Bindoo precessions. But when, both sects
are simultaneously passing through one of
their periods of religious excitement their
toleration Is apt tc break down. In 1886
the Mehammodan Mohurrum clashed with
the Hlndoo Dadra, and the fanaticism Me-
tered on both sides led in the Northwest
Provinces and also in the Bombay Presi-
atlenoy to breaches el the peace.
MOHAMMEDANS THE AGGRESSORS.
At Etowah the Mohammedans appeared
to have been the aggressors. The distrlot
magistrate issued regulations to prevent the
;collision of two processions, but the Mohnm-
,medana seemed to have been bent en forcing
a fight, and the Hindoos, exasperated by
'the delay of their proceanlon and confident
in their numbers, were quite prepared to
accept the challenge. -Fortunately, a small
{detachment of troops on their way to Bur-
.nab reached the railway station at the
wildcat moment. One hundred and fifty of
the rioters worn arrested, and the riot,
which threatened to become serious, was
nlli ed In the bud. 0
At Deihl the Mohammedans were again
41re assailants. Not content with the route
oaeigned to their own procession they assem-
bled an that set apart for the Hindoos. Who
latter, much to their credit, consented, on
the request of the Magistrate, to alter their
roubo, and two companies of European, with
the Name number of native troops, diaperaed
the Mohammedan mob. Hindoe exaspera-
•ltien was supposed to account for the mur-
der of a Mohammedan lad and for the de-
anernent of a modquo by the presence of a
'dead pig,

PECULIAR ANTIPATHIES.
Flowers, Apples and Even Roast Pig Would
Cause Trouble.
Amatus Leeitanna relates . the caro of a
monk who would faint en seeing a rose, and
who never quitted his cell at the monastery
while that flower was blooming, says an
exchange.
Orfila, a loss questionable authority, belle
us of how Vincent, the great painter, would
swoon upon going suddenly into a room in
whish roaes were blooming, even though he
did not see them.
Valtaid tells of an army officer who was
frequently threwn into violent convulsions
by coming in contact with the little flower
known as the pink. Orfila, our authority
on the case of Vincent, the painter above
related, also tells ef the case of a lady 46
years of age, hale and hearty, whe if
present when Iinseed was being boiled for
any purpose would be seized with violent*
fits of soughing, swelling of the face and
partial lone of reasonfor the ensuing twenty-
four hours.
Writing of these peculiar antipatbles and
aversions, Montague remarks that he has
known men of undoubted courage who
would much rather face a shower of cannon
balls than to look at au apple.
In Zimmerman's writings there is an ac-
count of a lady who could not bear to touch
either Bilk or satin, and who would almost
faint if by accident she should happen to
touch the velvety akin of a peach. Boyle
records the case of a man who would faint
upon hearing the "swish" of a broom
aorose the floor, and of another with a
natural abhorrence for honey.
Hippocrates of old tells of one Nicanor
who would always swoon at hearing the
sound of a flute. Bacon, the great English-
man, could nob bear to see a lunar eclipse,
and always completely collapaed upon such
aoeasiona, and Veughelm, the great German
sportsman, whe had killed hundreds of wild
bears, would faint if he but got a glimpse of
a roasted pig.
BY TAX BILLS.
New Yorkers who Pay Fortunes Every Year
in City Rates.
According to the New York Press the
Astor estate will pay in taxes this year
$420,000. This 1s more than the entire
sum of city taxes collected in 1820. There
Is only one richer family in New Yerk than
the Asters, and that is the Vanderbilt,
whish pays $608,000; but as this inolndee
a good deaf of city railroad property the
Anter real estate, exclusively owned by the
family, is undoubtedly the more valuable.
The Lorillard family pays $131,000 in taxes,
which means that its city property to actu-
ally worth more than $10,000,000. while
the Jay Geoid estate is assessed $134,000.
These are the four richest estates in the
city. From the tax hook just made up it
appears that the moat valuable buildings in
New York are the Equitable, at No. 120
Breadway, assessed at $3,800,000 ; the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, $1,800,000 ; the Mills
building, $1,700,000; Mutual Life building,
in Nassau street, $1,625,000 ; the Western
Union building, $1,500,000 ; the Astor
Hence, $1,400,000, and the Stewart build-
ing $1,600,000. Tho real values are nearly
if not quite double the rate at whioh they
are aeseased.Fer instance, the Herald build-
ing, for which $1,100,000 has been offered,
is appraised by the city tan aaaesaor at $460,-
000.
China Decoration.
White and gold continues to be a favor -
Ito for elegant dinner mete. All aorta of

gle narrow band, or a wide one, to several
bands, and wide, irregular edges. Often
there Is a decoration in the centre of each
fiat piece of the set that resembles seaman
circular or veal bit of finest gold lace. If,
in buying china, nothing in the stock of the
dealer pleases, a decoration is often do -
signed, and then one has the pleasure of
knowing that she hal a dinner service that
is unique. With a plain,:.. eimpie gold

the centre or on the rirn of the plates, end

family is blazoned on their porcelain. There
are so many skilled china painters and
firers in most cities now that it is often pos-
sible to get excellent work done without
paying the middleman's prices.

The Commission Makes Its Report to
the Government.
THERE HAS NOT BEEN HARMONY
4_T OME time ago gradu-
ates ef the Ontario
Agrloultural College
petitioned for an in -
instigation into the
want of harmony among
the officers of the
college and farm. The
Government ordered
such an inquiry to be made by Mr. John
Winchester, of Toronto, Master in Chain -
bete ; Mr. John Watterworth, of Wards-
ville, Middleeex, and Mr. John S. Pearce,
of London.
The Commissioners lay the chief blame
for the want off harmony on Mr. Shaw,
Frofesser of Agriculture at the farm,
and they also censure Mr. H. B. Sharman,
the Assistant Chemist, and Mr.
Johnston E. Storey,the Farm Foreman. Mr.
Sharman has resigned, and, in view of the
findings, it seems impossible that Prof,
Shaw or Mr. Storey can retain their eon-
nectton with the institution. The Com-
miratoners find that Prof. Shaw has been
communicating with the students in +such a
way as to impair the authority of the Min-
ister of Agriculture and of Prof. Mille, Pre-
sident of the college. " He won this con-
fidence of the students in many waye, some
by giving them employmentat the expense
of the Government as drivers, others by
showing an interest in their wolfaro, and
then mentioning his grievances, giving them
to understand that he was a muoh-abused
man, and that he was unable to de for
them and the farm as much as he would
like, because his powers were being ourtailed
by the Minister and the President, who
were oppressing and hampering him."
There has been tremble for eeme years
over the relations between President Mills
and Prof. Shaw. In 1888 the latter ob-
jected to regulations giving the Preaidenb
an advisory supervision ever the farm work,
In April, 1889, Mr. Drury, then Minister of
Agriculture, wrote to Mr. Shaw, "instat-
ing upon due consideration being shown to
me as head of the department," and saying
that he was revising the by-laws with a
view to giving Mr. Shaw " a larger share
ef liberty in the management ef the farm
property and of the live stook."
On December 13th, 1889, there ie a letter
free Mr. Drury, complaining that the
minds of the students were being preju-
diced against the Minister, and containing
these words : " Nothing can be more
-destructive te the barmonioun working of
an institution than for an official to fall
into the habit of explaining to the students
that he desired to pursue a certain course,
but was prevented from se doing because
some ene in authority did net conour with
hie views. Every official must shoulder his
own reepenaibility, and, when any course
ef action is definitely decided upon in a
proper manner, the carrying out of the
same must be undertaken by the respon-
sible party, who should offer no apologies
and make no excuses for what is being
done."
Mr. Dryden also had correspondence
with Prof. Shaw as to his relations with the
President of the college, and stated hie own
view thus : " You will further allow ms to
say that I do not think stock should be
disposed ef without censultabion either
with myself or with the President. I am
sorry that it does not appear easy for yen to
consult with thePreaident in mattere of this
kind, but you will easily understand that if
this is not done we shall soon drift into the
old position, whore we had two beads to the
institution instead of one." In the last sen-
tence will be found wbab is probably the
key to the whole situation. ti'he Minieter
complains again that he has no chock over
the farm : "President Mills assumes to
check the expenditure in every other depart-
ment of the institution except your own ;
but, because there has been more er tern
friction between these two departmente, he
has refused during the past year to keep an
oversight ef your accounts."
Prof. Shaw's reply was that if the Preen
dent had power te vete his expenditures
and exercised it, the farm work might be
crippled, and he (Prof. Shaw) would ba
held responsible for failure. He proposed,
instead, that the Minister alone should con-
trol hie expenditures, and that he should be
held wholly responsible for the results. Mr.
Dryden replied that the Legislature would
hold the Ministryreeponsiblefor the results,
and he insisted that the accounts meet be
overlooked by the Preetdenb of the institu-
tion.
We have dwelt upon this feature of the
case, rather than upon others which may
neem to have a stronger personal intoreat,
because we think the central question is
one of authority. The Minister le respon-
sible to the Legislature and to the people
for the conduct of the inabibation, and he
deolares that the work cannot be properly
done nnlese the complete authority of the
Preaidenb at Guelph is distinotly recog-
nized. The affair is an unpleasant one,
but we are pleased to be able to say that
the institution will not be allowed to
suffer, but, en the contrary, will be strength-
ened in both departments. The students
1n the college, it 4e understood, will be
graded, so that the difficulty arising from
too numerous classes will be obviated. In
the farm, it is Mr. Dryden's intention to
have increased attention paid to practical
work, and to have inebruotiens given in the
meat minute detalls of farming operations.
Hie aim will be to put the teachers upon
ouch a basis that no matter how good a farm
a student comes from, he will see something
ab Guelph that will enable him to improve
on his practice in some point, and he intends
that this shall be done with no addition to
the numbers ef the staff, and with an actual
saving of expense.—Globe.
A. Clever Dodge for (Shaft Bearings.
It baa been observed that the best sub-
atanoe for a shaft to rent upon when run-
ning is too safe to het a great while, Ac-
cording to one of the trade papery, itis pre -
posed to give the box a good fit to the abaft
on both endo and along the eldest of the un-
der box, so close that oven a liquid could
not work its way out from under the shaft,
and then forge the frlctionleea substance

the direction of the house of a relative that
he proposed visiting en his way to Irish
Creek. He was familiar with the wayacross
lotehetweenthetwo houses, and soon atruok
the travelled path, along which he was
walking when he saw Mies Luckey, a shert
distance ahead of him, going, in the same
direction. Just as he was leaving the bush
and within 25 or 30 rode of the Luckey
house he heard a scream, and looking up he
raw Miss Luckey running from the house,
closely followed by a young mail (wham he
deoiines to say whether tae recegnized cr
not). Three or four rode frern the house he
raw the man strike, cr strike at, the girl,
who dropped ba the ground and was caught
by the mete and dragged back towards the
house. He paid no attentlen to the matter,
as he supposed it was only a young people's
frolic, and parsed en hie way around the
met aide of the ,warns and so on to his rela-
tive's, and then to Irish Creek, and took the
train to the Staten, where he remained until
a few weeks ago.
All this time he had heard nothing of the
murder, being a man who hardly ever read a
newspaper, and his story was only told
when he heard the neighbors commenting
on the tragedy. Thera fire rumors in the
neighborhood that the old reran had suddenly
left for parts unknown.., but this was
denied by obhera, wbo say that he was eo
harassed by inquisitive neigbbors that he
reclined to talk about i,he affair, and to
some of the more prying he told centradio-
tory +Aeries, and finally decided to go on
another tramp, but confided to some
parties where he could in found when
wanted.

An Interesting Story :'roll the Prairie
Province,
Sufferer 1'or ]Hearn from kidney Troubles,
and Dyspepsia Tells How He Found a
Cure—His Advice to Others.
(From the Brandon, Mau„ Times.) •
Recently while a reporter of the 'Timer
was in Ds. Fleming it Hoes drug establish.
sent, a customer came in and asked for a
package of Dr. Williams' Pink Title. Thio
incident turned tiro conversation to this
now world -known remedy, and the reporter
asked whether within their own observation
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the remark
able remedy they are ore.dited ' with being.
The reply, was given with no uncertain
sound. " We have sold," said amember of
the firm, " during the past year more Pints
Pills by far than any other proprietary
medicine. The demand is largely increase
ing, and from what we hear the results
have been very beneflo)ai to those using
them. Indeed, if you call upon Mr. Wm.
Cooper, who resides on 13th street, you will
probably get the particulars of a very tai-•
teresting etree."
The Times reporter felt that he would
not only be giving his readers an interesting;
story, but might be the rneane of pointing;
out to some other aufforer the road to re-
newed health by securing the details of Mr.
Cooper's+ case. With that end in view, he•
called upon Mr. •Cooper, and, on making:
known his errand, was given a hearty weld
come. " I have not the silghtesb objeo-
tion," said Mr. Cooper, "to bearing public
testimony to the great meritof Dr, Willlama'`
Pink Pills. Indeed, I believe it a duty on
the part of those whoexperiencesuohbenefit
as 1 have done to make known as widely
as possible bbe virtues of this moat re-
markable remedy. For many years L
suffered intensely from kidney troubles and
dyspepsia, and ouly those who have been
timilr sly afflicted can understand how great
a burden life is at times. I tried all or
nearly all of the remedies said to bo a cure
for those troubles, but in no date did I get
mere r,han temporary relief, and when a.
recuriecee of the trouble came it seemed to
be with greater intensity than before.
suffered as long that I despaired of ever
being cured, and felt that even temporary
relief was worth striving for. I was con-
tinually depressed in spirits and sometime
could not help wishing myself dead. But
now, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, all
that is changed, and, despite my years, I
feel as light-hearted as a schoolboy. I was.
first induced to try Dr. Wiliiame' Pink
Pills through reading the accounts of the
many marvellous sures that have ap-
peared in the newspapers. I felt that
if these wonderful pilie had dons so much
for others, that there must be hope for me,
and I was not disappointed. I had not
taken them long before I felt a change for
the better. It was not the feeling of tem-
porary relief I had experienced before, my
whole system monied stranger and better.
Yen may be mare I continued the use of the.
Pink Pille, end the res -alt is 1 am today a
well man. My troubles have entirely left
me and I have now much better health
and strength than. I have enjoyed for
years before. You can therefsre un-
derstand the feelings of gratitude I have
for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I earn-
estly hope other sufferers will profit by
my experlscce. I have recommended the
Pink Pills teeming my others, and always with
good remain :f cat, tell you of one man,
whose body was covered with foul mattery
sores, who used Pink Pills, and whose skin
is now as clear end fresh as e. child's. You
may safely say that Dr. Williams' Pink.
Pills are a great medicine, and that their
virtues cannot be too widely known.."
