CORONATION CONTINOENT
tent Sail on the Parisian on June 7 -
Where Will it Concentrate e'
Ottawa, April 21 -It appearto be
as yet melecided vendee the corona-
tion contingent will concentrate ba.
fore leaving for England. Quebec, Le.
vis and Montreae are competing for
the honor accomModating tee fav-
ored detachment. The men vvill be
mobilized about May 27th or 28th,
or ten days before their departure.
As 'before annoueced they are to
leave by the Parisian on ,rune 7th.
itlenteCol. Turner, V. C., of Quebec,
is spoken of as likely to receive a
commis:don. He may perhaps be the
second Major. The name of Captain
Thaeber, of the Royal Canadian Re-
giment, is mentioned in connection
with the adjetneee ot the contingent.
It is probable that eight non-com-
missioned officers and men will be
selectea to represent the Queen's
Own, of Toronto, and that the two
other infantry regiments will fur-
nish a quota of four each.

DR. TALM/-it--60S DEATH.
HIS SENSATIONAL CAREER.
"Waeldngton, April 13, -Iter. T, De-
Witt Talmage died at 9 o'clock Met
night at Ids home it) this city. He
had been ill for some time, and only
a few weeks ago had experienced a
change for the hotter, which gave
hope of his recovery, Several days
ago, however, bie condition grew
worse, caused by congestion of the
brain, with catarrhal complications,
and since then the:family had been
daily expecting Ids death.
T. DeWitt Taltnage was one of the
remarkable men of his time. His
success financially was phenomenal
for a clergyman. .
Born in Bound Book, New .Tortey,
on ,Tan. 7th, 1882, educated in New
York City for the law, which he quit
at hie parents' desire to take a theo-
logical course at New Brunswick, the
young Talmage did his first preaching
at Belle:eine, N. J., and went front
there to Syracuse, N. Y. to get a
better place in the Deed' Reformed
Church there. In Syracuse he began
to develop these peculiarities which,
further exaggerated, were in later
years to make libn talked about.
In his Brooklyn pulpit, where he

clan, which Mr. Talmage, aCeerding
to Ink; own story, did, do, But in
Brooklyn Mr. Talmage's enemies
said that he heel caught a tramp

ed the Czar. In, his story or that

Could Make $1,000 a Day.
Mr, lelmage once boasted that he
Iconic' make $1,000 a day. It was
at one time estimated that he was
worth $1,000,000, but bie friends
said that his - wealth was only a
quarter of that sum. Much of his
money he invested in Brooklyn
mortgages.
Twenty-five years ago Mr. Tal-
mage was tried by an Eecleslastical
Court in Brooklyn on charges or
"falsehood and deceit." He was not
found guilty, but the vote of the
court was a close one.
While Mr. Talmage was at Phil-
adelphia, whore Inc preached for
seven years before going to Brook-
lyn, his first vv-ife was drowned In
