NOTES AND COMMENTS
Eyen the all conquering bicycle is
threatened with the rivalry of the
hornless carriage, which Edison, the
inventor, declares will shortly be sold
in perfected farm for $1.00 at moat.
There is a demand for the horseless
carriage, and it seems reasonably cer-
tain that before many years the demand
will be supplied.

The closing of the 'tobacco factories,
caused by the new tariff, will turn
more than 8,000 people out of work.
The big factory of W. C. McDonald.
in Montreal, closed week before last,
and George E. Tuckett & San, Hamil-
ton, closed their doors last week.
Fortier's factory closed on Friday and
there are others to follow. Very un-
fortunate, perhaps, but think bow
anuch cheaper yott will get your
tobacco under the new tariff!

'Under the guidance of cunning Sir
Oliver, the Government are not going
to take chances on the plebiscite they
so glibly promised the prohibitionists.
The Tote is to be taken, but instead of
asking the opinion of the electors on
the principle of prohibition, a second
and third questions are to be tacked on
and the electors are to say, whether
or not they are willing to incur direct
taxation to make up the defieit in the
nevenue if prohibition is enacted, and
Whether they fayor compensation.
This a eharacteristic dodge to fright-
en timid temperauce folk, and open
up a gate by which the Goverumeut
can escape the responsibility their
promise of a plebiscite has incurred.

Canadians complain of hard titnes,
but the term is not understood in Can-
ada as it is in the United States. "A
World, "theHorticultural Association
of Sarcoxie, Missouri, Horticultural
Association advertisedforseveralthou-
sand labourers to earn small wages for
a few days by picking strawberries on
its great farms. Twenty thousand peo-
ple answered the advertisement, and
owing to the overflow thousands have
been forced to sleep on the grounds,
and the line of campers extends ten
miles up and down each side of the
spring river." What a commentary
is this incident upon American misuse
of unequal privileges. A little more
than one hundred years agoa favoured
people got the best half of a contin-
ent, rich from the hand of the creator.
One result seen in ibis rush for a few
days labour in Missouri is the sad
trath that the evil conditions of
European life are being reproduced in
the United States.

Ethel McCartney, it years of
age. the youngest, daughter of
Andrew McCarthy, of Owen Sound,
-was swinging with some companions
in the barn of William Boyd, when
she noticed the pole to which the rope
was fastened slipping from its place.
She called to those who were about
her that the swing was about to fail,
but before they could stop it, the pole
came down, striking her on the head,
inflicting a. severe eash, and causing
almost instant death.
A bicycle having a black frock coat
strapped to the. frame was found in

bank. As a black Fedora hat was
found yesterday floating not far from
where the wheel was discovered, it
seems probable that the rider was ac-
cidentally thrown from his wheel and
was drowned. Men are now grappling

this section of the country. He is to
go to Manitoba, and see if the schools
can be administered in Stich a, way as
to remove all objections. Practically
Separate schools are to be conceded as
they exist in Nova Scotia. The dele-
gate was to have left for the West
this week to make his personal inspec-
tion. It is stated thatl'gr. Greenway
has urged him to delay his visit, on
the ground that it will make it more
difficult for him to modify thearrange-
ment At present, so far as can be
gathered, Mgr. Merry del Val intends
to go West late next week. in the
meantime it is quite within the range
of possibilities that the new financial
arrangement has something to do
with the willingness a the Manitoba
Government to meet the views of the
delegate. At all events it gives Mr,
Greenway a powerful lever over the
Administration.
The Western Canadian, organ of the
Patrons of Manitoba and the North-
West, has the following to say on Mr.
Greenway's proposed road to Duluth :---
At the outset there is the question why
we should go to the coast of subsidizing
the road for the whole distance to Lake
Superior instead of a road to the Lake
of the Woods. Ontario is preparing to
build a road through the farming and
lumbering districts on the DaWS011
route to the now famous gold mining
district of the Lake of the Woods—
that is to say, a 'line for the greater
part of the distance from Winnipeg to
Lake Superior. The remaining part of
the distance is comparatively short,
and tovers a country much easier to
build through. The least of building
the renaaining section of the road is
only a fraction of the cost of a line all
the way to Duluth. A greater obstacle
is the difficulty of compelling- a line
running mainly through the United
States to falfil its contract. It would
be, we fear, practically free. except for
those restraints of conscience which
are not thought to embarrass railway
companies, to promise to carry grain
for nothingif only it is given a subsidy.
If it choose to break a contract after
it gets the subsidy, we cannot very
well prevent it. Suppose some Duluth
compaay agree to carry grain from
Brandon for two cents per bushel,
that it builiSthe road, got the subidy,
raised all it could on bonds, and then
iliened around, made the same kind of
agreement with the Canadian Pacific
the Northern Pacific made, and charg-
ed us the rate we are now paying ?
How could we compel the company to
carry out its contract ? The only
security the company can give is the
property in Manitoba ; and, supposing
we seized the Manitoba part of the
road, it would be of no value as secur-
ity to us, for what American court
would allow a British province to
seize an American railway ? Would
we allow an American State to seize
railways in Manitoba ? Other matters
which will require careful attention in
the event of Mr. Greenways bringing
the contract before the Legislature
are provisions for a branch line, and the
uprightness of the transaction between
the Govermnent and the company.
The Dauphin railwaysubsidy.has never
been explained to the people, and we
have no desire to see another subsidy
given in the same way.

Remarkable Case.
DOCTORS COULD NOT AGREE AS
TO THE TROUBLE,
A. New Brunswick Lady the Victim—
Suffered for Thirty Years—The At-
tack Caused Partial Blindness and a
Feeling of Semi -Paralysis.
• from the Woodstock, N. S., Sentinel.
Mrs. E. P. Ross, of Riley Brook,
IV. B., says :-- "I have been a sufferer
for thirty years, and I ani sure 1 WOLild
still be in the same lamentable condi-
tior1 bad it not .been for Dr.
Pink Pills.. 1*as. married at the age
of twenty and am now fifty-one years
old. 1 had always enjoyed good health
until after my first child was born.
About anionth later the, illness at-
taoked nie Which has since made ray
life.' Miserable, I consulted different
.doctors, but they did not agree as to
the nature of my trouble. One said it
was a species of paralysis, otherssaid
symptoms of fits. I nould be feeling
very well when I would suddenly have
a sensation of partial blindness, and
everything beton me would sparkle.
Then my hand and arm on one side
would become numb, and after about
,ten minutes this sensation would pass
to iny lower limbs, then any tongue
wonld become affected, as would
also my bearing. Voices, no matter
how cicse to me, would seem dim
and far away. These symptoms would
last for about forty minutes, I
would have a violent pain over the
eyes, whicli would continue for twelve
hours or more. Notwithstanding all
that was done for me, these spells were
coining more frequently, and at last I
would sometimes have two attacks a
day. I 'sums also troubled with bron-
chitis, which added to my misery. I
could not sew or knit, or do any work
that required close attention to it. All
this • trouble had never left me for
years, and at the age of 48 I consulted
another doctor, The medicine he gave
me, however, made me worse instead
of better. Then I was advised to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was using
the third box before I found any bene-
fit, but then there was a decided
change. By the time I used twelve
boxes felt as well as I did in my
younger days. Every- symptom of the
trouble that had se long made mylife
miserable had disappeared. For eigh-
teen months I did not use the pills and
was as well as ever I had been in my
life. Then one morning I felt a slight
attack of the old troubleanddetermi nett
to try Dr. Ntrillia.nis' Pink Pills again.
I got a box and took an occasional
pill and have never since had a
symptom of the trouble. To say that
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done
wonders for me in putting it mildly,
and I strongly urge their nse on all
who may be ill. Pink Pins were also
of great benefit to a niece of mine,
Miss Effie J. Everett. Her mother
died when she was quite younx, and
naturally much of the care of the
household developed upon her, and as
she grew up she became weak, easly
tired, subject to headaches and her
complexion was pale and wax like. A
yoang lady teacher who was boarding
with the family, and who had used
Pink Pills with great. success urged
her to try thein. Theresult was that the
soon was enjoying the best of health
and is a fine robust young lady who
shows no traces of her former illness.
Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills cure by go-
ing to the root of the disease. They
renew and build up the blood, and
streugthen the nerves, thus driving
disease from the system. Avoid imita-
tions by insisting that every box you
purchase is enclosed in a wrapping
bearing the full trade mark. Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
