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 ....11•411111•N preaoher to baptize iihn in the ,Ter - 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 oa the river bank and dueeed .111 Russia Mr. Talmage was recciv- ed the Czar.

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.
