Considerable curiosity was mani-
fested at N iagarn Falls Sunday through -
the announcement that 0. D. Graham,
of Buffalo, would run Niagara's fam-
ous rapids and whirlpool in rs barrel
specially made for the occasion. At
about four o'clock in the afternoon
Graham made his appearance. At
the old Maid of the Mist Landing a
little above the old Suspension Bridge
he entered his barrel, which was seven
feet long, with air valve connected,
weighted, with ballast, w118 towed by
a row boat out into the river, and in
a few moments the swift current
caught him and drifted him into the
fearful rapids. Tho barrel, with its
human freight, was tossed about like
a cork on the angry breakers, and
shot the rapids with lightning speed.
A. few minutes later Graham appear-
ed in the whirlpool. He opened the
lid of the barrel, took a hurried sur-
vey of his situation, closed it down
again, made a circuit of the pool on
the Canada side, sliot again out in
the rapids and continued down the
river through Foster's rapids, and
was lost to the view of the speotators
who had lined the banks on both sides
of the river to get a glimpse of hie
rash undertaking. He passed through
all the dangerous waters and landed
safely at Queenston and drove up to
the Falls in the evening. Graham
had announced this a trial trip, and
if safely made he would Make others
ander regular advertisements. Gra-
ham was arrested by the autboritie at
Suspension Bridge for announcing
his attempt to go through the rapids,
but was released on hie own reoogniz-
once to appear for trial Monday
morning. At the Falls in the even-
ing he was taken in charge by the
Suspension Bridge constable and
brought to Suspension Bridge. Ho
expressed himself very tired and his
nerves very much unstrung. His
voyage was a hard one as he felt him-
self badly shaken up pounding over
the rocks, going through the rapids.

Uposit!on (fie fife oI Trade i
HIS has has been fully shown during the last week. Corsets that
were being solcl at 608. per fair, anct the public were told they
were a groat bargain at that price, have actually been rocluood to 48c.
per pair by the same party who was selling at 60c. Those who bought
them at 60c. must see they wore grossly imposed upon and should by
good right have the difference in price refunded. Spot cash or no oth-
er excuse can possibly make the matter right. The Corsets were
bought from Crompton & Co., of Toronto, a most respectable firm, and
they cannot be bought now one cont cheaper than two weeks ago. Had
we not reduced them to a fair living profit the same Corsets Would still
have been sold at 60e.a pair.
Wo are determined to still pursue the same course we have hither-
to clone; to sell everything at tho OLOSRST LIVING PROFIT and not be un-
dersold by anybody.
