NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Canadian Methodism must haye
money to spare if its eepresentative can
afford to appropriateany large amount
of church funds to coyer the expenses
of lay delegates to the Conference. It
is easy to sympathise with a comfort-
ably circtunstanced gentleman like
Prof. Mills in his objections to the bin
letting of lay delegates, It is not so
easy to understand why the lay dele-
gates to the General Conference of the
Methodist church should not billet
themselves. There are grand lodges
which meet once a year attended by
hundreds of lay delegates who never
think of looking outside of their own
pockets for money to pay travelling
expenses and tnaintenance. Why
should the lay delegates to a sacred
conference be less self sacrificing than
the lay delegates to a seeulae grand
lodge. Lay delegates would, be better
at home than at conference filling the
heavens with their wails because they
axe not comfortably billetted or because
their expenses are not paid. There
might be something in the contention
that if the Iay delegates received their
expenses the poor man could attend
the conference. The brother who has
no treasure laid up on earth does not
seem to have much chance to be elect-
ed delegate to the General Conference.
A muster roll of the lay delegates
eeenas to include all the millionaire
politicians and office holders identified
with Methodism. The poor brother
who is rich merely in spiritual treas-
ure does not compose a working ma-
jority of the lay delegation which in-
cludes many prominent citizens who
ought to be quite able to pay their
own way without burdening the re-
venues of the church.

Each railway company will be sur-
prised at the emptiness of its passen-
ger cars if the public does not travel,

.A notice in the Signal:of last week
says:—At the request of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier the Liberal Oofavention which
had been called for Monday last, at
Dungannon has been postponed. Due
notice will be given as to the date
when it will be held. What's wrong
in the Liberal Camp.
Peterboro's town council referred to
the -people the question whether the
ward system should be abolished and
the number of councillorsreduced. The
people decided in favor of both proposi-
tions by a good majority. Now the
i
council has gnored the verdict of the
people and killed this by-law providing
tor the change. Some of them could
not make up their minds to vptetbenn
selves out of the job another year.
A point of considerable interest to
travellers, but upon which there is no
law other than usage, came up on a
crowded train the other day, and it is
worth putting into print; t train re.
turning from Toronto, on Saturday,
was sent out in two sections, owing to
the crowd ; at Guelph the passengers
on the first section were requested to
get out and take the regular train
when it came along;a• couple of gentle-
men who were travelling together,
made a rush for the train, but owing
to the crowd only one managed at the
moment to get inside the car, which
was standing, and securing a single
seat, waited a moment inside the seat,
for the approach of his friend, so that
both might occupy it ; another person
endeevored to take the seat on the
ground that no seats conld be reserved
in a car ; the first person maintained
that he had aperfect right to hold the
seat for his friend, and was infringing
no rule of the road orebiquette in so do-
ing, as long as he only zeserval it a
moment or two without interfering
generally with the convenience of be
travelling pub1ic and held his grated,
though the other clemurred;noev it is a
recognized prizn,iple that a satchel,hat
or other Article placed epon a car seat
is accepted as evidence that euch seat
is occupied, or in other words that it is
reserved,and travellers courteously re-
cognize this principle, but to assure
himself of his position, the person ne-
teresteci brought the matter to the at-
tention of several conductor, and all
agreed that be waswithin his right iri
holding the scat temporarily for a
friend.

done here and there, but it will not

The grain is turning out, even better
than expected, and it should eot be
surprising if the wheat yield of the
province reaches28,000,000 or 30,000,000
bushels. The latest reports received
are highly gratifying. Estimates of
25 and 80 bushels to the acre ave coin -

other fortnight the entire crop of the

COIVIPL,ETELY WIPED OUT.
Prescott, Arizona, Sept. 12. — The
town of Jerome, near here, was com-
pletely wiped out by Are this morning,
entailing a loss of over $1,000,000 in
property. Eleven bodies have so far
been recovered, while a score or more
are saiil to be ha the ruins or missing.
The fire °rig -Meted in a cabin and
spread rapidly, The fire was confined
exclusively to the besiness portion of
the town, and the open space inter-
vening between it and the works of
the United. Verde Co.saved the latter's
plant. The area of the fire was con-
fined to a narrow gulch and ravines
leading to it, in which were locatect
substantial wooden and stone build-
ings, the latter melting as rapidly be-
fore the flames as pasteboard. Over
150 residences, averaging in value $2,,
000, general merchandize and other
stores, saloons, etc., of all kinds, are
wiped out; in short, not a single busi-
ness house remains. The only buntline;
to escape was the Methodist church.
The number' of people who are home-
less is laced at 1,500, and they are
being cared for by Messrs. Giroux and
Allen, of the mining company. Two
special trains lefthere for the scene of
the disaster, carrying tents and other
material, and a meeting is being held
here to raise money for the needy, of
whom their are many. The loss is
tomplete, but little insurance being
written in the catnp,owingte the great
risk and inadequate water -supply.
Where the fire originated was the
scene of a drunken carousal last
night.
LOSS OF MILLIONS
Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 11. —The en-
tire business centre of New West,
minister to -day is a smouldering heap
of brick, mortar and debris. Not a
yestige is left of the city's pride and
glory of yesterday. The loss is enor-
mous, amounting to millions of dol-
lars. At 11.30 Saturday night a fire
broke out on the river steamer Edgar,
lying in front of Brakeman & Ker's
produce warehouse, adjoining the city
public market. The warehouse speed-
ily caught fire, and as there was a stiff
gale blowing at the Hine up the river,
the flames in no time reached the
market buildings. Then they spreact
with marvellous rapidity to the brick
building in which the Columbian news-
paper was printed, a large four-story
edifice. By this tine the Edgar had
drifted from her mooring at the ware
and set fire to two other river boats,
which, in parting with their tow lines,
drifted by the stream alongside the
wharves and warehouses,setting every-
thing along the waterfront on fire for
a distance of close upon three-quarters
of a mile, resulting in the complete de-
straction of the wharves, the ware-
houses, the railway tracks, the Cana-
dian Pacific depot, one of the lire halls,
a couple of canneries with. their con-
tents, including several thousand cases
of canned salmon.
The westward progress of the fire
along the waterfront was stopped at
the railway weed. The total loss is
33,500,000 ; the value of buildings de-
stroyed, $2,500,000; and the insurance
$1,250,000. The people rendered. home-
less are compiled at 1,100. Some of
the buildings destroyed were the Post
Office,City 11a11.0ourt House, Colonial
Hotel, Guichon laqtel, Bank of Mon-
treal, Bank of British Oolurabia, Co-
lumbian newspaper, Sun Newspaper,
Masonic Temple, the Club, Holy Trin-
ity Church, two canneries, fine ware-
houses, fire hall anti 0. P. R. station.
Paralleling the devastation along the
waterfront, the business blocks on Co-
lumbia street, from Fourth street to
Tenth street, a distance close upon
three-quarters of a mile, were speedily
falling victims to the devouring ele-
ment. From Front street to Royal
avenue in a short time became a solid
flame of fire, licking up, as if it were
tinder, everything in its pathway.
Front street, from the market build-
ing westward, was a, solid. business
quarter of the city occupied by whites
and Chinese. Both sides of Columbia
street were solidly built of handsome
expensive brick blocks.

A STRANGE CASE.
JAS. CROSGREY, OF PORT
e
HOPle, TELLS AN INTEREST-
ING STORY.
---
His Right Leg Swollen to Three Times
its Natural Size,- Ulcers Followed
and for a year -and a half Doctors'
Treatment Failed to Help Him.
From the .Port Hope Times,
eIt was nearly as large as that tele-
phone pole." These words were used
by Mr. Js. Crosgreyefor eight years
a resident of Port Hope, Onti Mr.
Cosgrey is itt the employ of Mr, R. K.
Scott, who has a feed stove on Walton
street,and is well and favorably known
ill tOWn and vicinity. Less titan tWo
years ago 3.1r. Closgrey was the reci-
pient of much synipathy on account of
a severe affliction which befel
depriving hini of the use of his right
leg,and from doing any labor 'except a
few odd days work. His recoyery was
wrought so suddenly and completely
that the Times considered the matter
would be of sufficient interest to its
readers to obtain an interview with
Mr. Crosgrey. In. substance Mr. Oros -
grey told the following story of his
illness. "In April, 1895, I was laid up
for seven weeks with typhoid fever,
and after I recovered from the 1! e'er
my right leg began to swell. It was
very painful indeed,and in a few weeks
it was three times its natural size -near-
ly as large as that telephone pole," and
he pointed to a stick of timber ten
inches in diameter. "Nothing the
doctor did, gave me any relief, and I
consulted another with.. the same re-
sult. I suffered for nearly five enonths
when I noticed that the swelling began
to decrease and. I became hopeful of
recovery. But the improvement only
continued for a short time and then
the swelling became greater and two
big ulcers formed on tlae inside of the
leg above the ankle. These ulcers
were right through to the bone and
you could put that much into them,"
and Mr. Crosgrey indicated on his
thumb an object an inch in length.
"For the next yeax and a half I was
treated by four or five doctors but my
leg and the ulcers were as bad as ever.
The doctors pronounced the disease
phlebitis or inflammation of the viens.
They didn't seern to know what to do
for me, however, and I despaired of
getting well." Mr. Crosgrey's relief
came in a strange manner, almost by
chance one might say. He tells of it
this way,—"I had a. relative living
near Teeswater, named Wilhiam Bap-
tist. He heard of my condition and
sent word to me to try. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. His reason for reconlin end-
ing them, he stated, was because they
hacl cured him of serious trouble in
both legs, when all else had failed.'
I decided to try them and in less than
five weeks the ulcers Were completely
healed and the swelling in my leg dis-
appeared. Tile ulcers neyer returned,
and my leg isjust about as sound as
the other one. I know that Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills alone cured me when
doctors and all other medicines failed
and I am -willing that the details of niy
illness And cure be made known." Mr.
Crosgrey who is 11 years of age,is now
at work: every day. The natureof his
work, that of lifting heavy bags of
flour and feed, is proof of his complete
recovery. He is a life' Ring friend of
Dr. Williams Pink Pills and never lets
an opportunity pass of speaking a good
word for them.
The above statement was sworn to
before the unde.rsigned at Port Hope,
on the 17th day of February, 1898.
