Advice
f a Frien
• and
READ THIS.
How often you hear the remark, "take
the advice of a. friend and do
not do this or that."
Experience has taught a lot of people
that before taking the advice of
friends, if a man will only ex-
ercise a little of the, quantity
!called horse sense, he will, as a
general thing, be- able to dis-
pense with the- tedious advice
�f friends. Stir up the grey
matter in your own brain, anil
think for yourself. -
Without wasting too much space in
talk, let us get right to busi-
ness, and see if we can think
out the right place to buy your
Spring suit at.
What is the consideration that weighs
with you? Det you just want
to go a certain price? or do you
mind the price so much, if you
see what you like?
Let us see the styles we carry.
In Men's knockabout suits, we show
good values at $5.50, 6 50 and
7.00
For something high class, -we call par-
ticular attention to the Men's
Suits at $8, 10.00 and 12.00.
Let us still think hard as to whether
you will leave your order for a
goOd suit. We are showing
great values in new tweeds at
at $13, 16.00 and 18.00, made
to order.
And, again, have you. thought what
kind of a hat is going to cover
that thinking - cap of yours?
Have you seen our lines of
black, brown and _fawn Fedora
Hats at 95c, $1.25, 1.50 and
2.00?
We have no desire to blow, but when
we say that we show the largest
range of Men's Hats in the
county, we mean it.
We will leave you this week with the
following few lines to think
about, should you require the,
like as summer comes in: Four
pairs cotton sox, 25c; three
pairs cotton sox, 25c; :two pairs
black cotton, 25c; one pair of
Cashmere, 25c.
Straw Hats and Sunshades -10c, 12c
and 15e. Black Shirt l at 65c,
75c, $1, and 1.25. '- Sumner
Underclothing at 50e, 65c and
$1, a suit. Boys' School Pants,
our own make, at 50c, 65c and
750.
Boys' Suits from $2 to $6. Umbrellas
- and Raincoats in all grades.
The newest cambric linen and , lawn
thins at 75c, $1, 1.25 and 1.50.

A GREY Bpy's EXPERIENOt
OF THE IKIJONDIKE.
Mr. Alexander R. Stewart, son of Mr.
Alex. Stewart, of the 16th concession of
Grey, who, with a couple of other young
men left home a few months ago with the
intention of digging up gold in the Klondike,
writes home to friends as follows :
FROM VANCOUVER TO FORT WRANGEL.
On the 4th of March he write-: We are
on board the steamer bound for Fort
Wrangel and we expect to get into port to-
morrow. We have had a very tedious
journey ; a long trip through rook and
islands and we have been four days and
nights. It Wan very rough last night and
for some time they thought we would all be
lost. We had to anchor all night in a bay
it was so terribly rough, but we have very
good board on the boat and did not get sea-
sick, although there are 75 passengers on
board, la bound for the ;gold fields. We
have poor accommodation) as we sleep down
in a hole 20x15 feet, fifty-five of us and eat
there also. We have 35 horses on board, 4
yoke of oxen and a great number of dogs
packed round on the deck so you can
scarcely move. We are nearly past Queen
Charlotte's Island now, where there are lots
of geese, ducks deer and bear. We were
amusing enmities shooting porpoises and
whale ; I shot two porpoises with my rifle.
We meet from ten to twelve vessels coming
back every day, and we elm the wrecked
steamer Corrona " on the rocks. They
are raising her. She ran on the rooks the
last time she was up. This is the first trip
for our captain. There are so many veesels
going that they have a hard time getting
men to take charge of them. You can see
little tugs pulling great big steamers. We
have had a very rough trip, the veesel was
turned and tossed as if she was nothing, and
there were some very sick people, as it was
very rough going round Milbank. After
passing through Lake Stiokeen we arrived
at Wrangel, which is quite a' town. There
are no regular streets, bet they have side-
walks all over, A person has to be very
careful in walking as the boards ate not
nailed down and yon might fall, into some
queer holes, four or five feet deep. We ex-
pect to get on the ice to -morrow.' There is no
frost here,although we are 1,000 miles north
of you. Some are turning back already es
the road is very rough, and dangerous. We
aro going to try our best, although we may
fail. Ibis very uncertain when you may
hear from us again, as it will be hard to get
letters posted.
TREY COME BACK.
From Vancouver on March 24th he
writes: The boys and I arrived in Van•
couver again safe and well from our trip.
We went up on the Stiokeen river some
miles and it is a thing impossible to get
through with water on the ice, as there has
been no frost and people cannot get through.
The furthest that any one has gone up is 20
miles, and there are thousends who will
have to turn baok,as it takes a pile of money
unless you can get up on the ice ; $100 a
ticket from Wrangel to Glenora, and $80 a
ton freight, and then you have 150 miles to
gO after that on land before you strike the
ice again at Teslin lake, and then you are
about half way or so. Unless you can get
up before the snow goes it would cost a lit
tle fortune. It is all a fraud the route by
Wrangel and it never will be a right road
unless it goes from the coast of British Col-
umbia. McKenzie & Mann, the railroad
contractors, are stuck fast on the ice about
fifteen or twenty miles and the steamboats
never got off the island at the mouth of the
river. They tried to haul their sleighs but
the ice was not strong enough, as there are
lots of holes in the ice, and men and horses
might disappear through them forever.
About twenty miles from here the snow is
from ten t� twelve feet deep on the ice and
very soft. There has not been a party gone
through here since last fall and still. they
try to go % There are lots of men steying in
Vancouver who will not attempt to igo fur-
ther. Honorable Edgar Dewdney is writ-
ing a piece for the papers advising the4r
party to give up their trip. He came dotni
on the same boat as we did with some of his
men who were sick. We lost considerable
an our outfits, and I have heard [Since re-
turning they are sold for $15 or $20 com-
plete on the ice by men returning, as they
are glad to get what they can for them. I
have seen any amount of men comine crying
down the ice, saying they had spent , all the
money they had for their outfits, thinking
they had nothing to do but pull Pp the
river, and as they had no money, haa to
sell their outfits for what they weld get
and turn back. There were tweny-eight
stowaways on the boat we came back on
and there are 1,000 men in Wrangel who
haven't got a cent to bring them back to
Vancouver. The town will be flood d with
men. It 18 impossible to describe th hard-
ships and suiffering that manand best has
to undergo. It is one thing to reOd the
paper about it and another thing to llritness
it with your eyes. There are you4ig and
strong men and old men also trying, but it
is an impossibility to go that route at pres-
ent.

TIe Representative of Spain in
the Umted States.
Hits DEPARTuism FROM WASHINGTON.
(min Luis Polo y 3 Barnabe, formerly
S nitah Minister to the United States,
pessed out of the jurisdiction of that coun-
tra at 1.30 o'clock Thursday of last week
arid promptly established headquarters at
the Lafayette Hotel in Niagara Falls, Odt-
aOio, !within fifty feet of the Camadian end
of the upper Suspension tBridge, leading
aroa to Niagara Falls inthe United States.
D,uri g the afternoon and evening he receiv-
ed c mmunications frdm agents in the United
tats, conferred with Spanish supporters
and sent telegrams and cablegrams to con-
fide ts ie Waehington, New York, Havana,
'ars and Madrid.The entire former Spanish
Legation was with him, save two men who
wasn't to New York from Washington. As a
alain Spanish diplomat on neutral soil on the
border of the United States, he was as
active as he could have been on his busiest
clay as Spanish Minister at Washington.
'frPolo left Washington at 7.20 fil'clock on
Wednesday evening in the special 'Pullman
car Japan, over the Pennsylvania Railroad.
With him were Senor Pablo Soler, first
Secretary ; Senor Tomas Aguaroni, Setiond
oecretary ; Senor Antonio Pia, attache;
Senor Bernard Almeida,attache •' Captain R.
de Carranza, naval attache, andCaptain C.
de In Cosa, military attache.. Two Spanish
servants accompanied the party. The ser-
vants took aboard the car a huge hamper of
food. The party refused to eat the buffet
food,and even declined pepper and salt from
the negro waiter. They were cautious to
the point of open anxiety and uneasiness.
Senor du Bose, first secretary and Senor
Galarze third secretary, did not accompany
the party. They left by way of New York.
This change made Senor Soler, first secre-
tary, with the former minister. The trip
was almost without incident. The party
had plenty of wine aboard and several of
them eventrially fell back on Bass's ale. Cap-
tain de Carranze became very animated be-
fore he fell 'asleep. George F. Foster and
Charles La Salle, two United States Secret
Service men, were on duty to see the party
safely out of the United States.; Polo also
had E. C. Wilson, a Pinkerton detective,
with him. Senior Soler carried Polo's pass-
port. It read :
United States of America,
Department of State.
To All to Whom These Presonts Shall Come.
Greeting :—Know ye that the bearer
hereof, Senor Don Luis Polb y Bernabe
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary of Spain to the United States,
is about to travel abroad, accompanied by
his family and suit. These are therefore to
request all officers of the United States, or
any State thereof, to permit him to pass
freely, without let or molestation, and to
extend to him all friendly aid and protection
in case of need.
In testimony whereof I, Jokm Slietman,
Secretary of State of the Mated States of
America, have hereunto set my hand and
mused the seal of the Department of State
to be affixed at Washington this 10th day
of April, A. D. 1898, and lof the indepen-
dence of the United States of America the
122d.
JOHN SHERMAN.
ThetwoSpanish servants took turns
staying awake during the night. The oar
oame north on the regular train over the
Northern Central, connecting with the
West Shore at Rochester. The train bear-
ing the party was due to reach Buffalo at
10.15 o'clock. It was 40 minutes late,arriv-
ing at 10.55 o'clock. The 10.25 o'clock
Vain for the Falls did not wait for the
party. Polo and his suit breakfasted in
their car on the way up from Rochester.
They were more at ease than when they left
Washington.
On the Canadian side the _party drove
rapidly up to the Lafayette Hotel. They
had announced they would stop at the
Clifton House, but it was closed. Also, the
Lafayette is nearer the bridge, standing
just across the road from the entrance. Polo
and his party were greeted at the hotel by
Proprietor Williams, the clerk and the por-
ter. 'They occupied all the rooms on the-
firet floor. It was 1.50 o'clock when they
reached the hotel. Captain de in Casa ask-
ed at once for mail and telegrams. None
bad been received. Polo looked worried.

From ar Lands. !
Rev. Dr. MoDonal , of Seaforth, has re-
ceived letters from t o of his former 111311i13 -
tants who are now 1 boring in distant lands,
and from which he b s kindly permitted us
.to make the followi g interesting extracts.
The first letter is f om the Rev. Donald
Guthrie, late of Wa kerton; but who recent-
ly resigned his char e there and removed to
Richmond, Virginia on account ofrm.
Rev'. D. A. Fowlie, ho has been statied
Guthrie's health. he second letter is f om
Re
for the past year i the Alberta district,
with head quarters at a place called Dune.
burg. Rev. Mr. G thrie writes on April.
15th, from Richmon , as follows: ,
"You will be ple ed to learn that Mrs.
Guthrie bas picked p wonderfully since our
arrival. The diem e is glorious and our
surroundings are oat congenial in every
way. Already Mrs. I uthrie has gained 12lbs.
in weight, that is e aetly a pound per week.
Op leaving home w decided to make for
Richmond. Dr. B attie of Louhville, who
is a distant relative of Mrs. Guthrie,advised
this, as the valley f the Mississippi is most
unhealthy. He wro e to Dr. Moses D.Hoge,
of Richmond, a ver kind letter of recom-
mendation in my b half. I came to Rich•
mond and was e rdially received by Dr.
Hoge, who invited me to preach for him and
then offered me a ositioh ' as hie assistant
for three months at a salary of $100 per
month. At the e d of that time, the agree-
ment was, that eh uld it prove satisfactory
to all parties, I w to remain on as col-
league and succe son The three months
term expires next week when, I believe, a
unanimous call is to be given me at a prob-
able salary of $2010 per annum.
"For two years Dr. Hoge had been look-
ing about for an ssistant and had almost
given up in despa r, when I came along from
far distant Caned . He is a most genial man
to work with. " is position here fie unique.
He has been the miter, and the only pastor,
of the Second C mail here for fifty three
years. He share the honors with Dr. Pal-
mer, of New Orl ans, as being the "Orator
of the South." 51 course his best day in
the pulpit is pas and gone, but he has still
considerable fire and enegy. My apprentice-
sbip of six mon hs in Seaforth has materi-
ally aided me in my work here. In both
cases I have onle pleasant recollections of
my work as ass tant to two of the Grand
Old Men of the Church.
"I have rece'ved nothing but kindness
from the people of Richmond. The South-
erners are warm hearted, and whilst they
do not love the ankees, they do love the
British. We a e at present on the verge of
war, and the w ole country is heated on the
subject. She d it come, it will do a great
deal to heal the feelings of the South in re-
gard to the Uni ia. I had the pleasure of
seeing General itz Lee, when .on his return
from Cuba te ashington, the other day.
He is the -idol the South. I shall be glad
to hear from ya u, and will . reply by giving
you some of m impressions of the South."
REV. R. eowere's LETTER.
Rev. Mr. Fo lie, whose letter is dated
March 2.5, says': "In the first place we are,
at the date of rating, just about buried in
snow, with the thermometer ranging 10 and
15 degrees bele zero ; not very spring-like,
is it? Well, e have been practieally abut

passable, and entry traffic generally sus-
pended. The onsequence is that my con-
gregations all anter have been very un-
satisfactory. 1 ften have I driven -to both
stations and fo ¬ a soul present. Some
days, on action t of the rough weather, I do
not leave myI arding house. The roads

Minneapolis, to. Of co tree Klondike is all
the talk just ow everywhere. The eastern
train arrives f equently in three sections,
most of them ohig through to Vancouver,
whilst many re going via Edmonton. The
people in this section of the country do not
seem to h ve the fever very badly,
partly became they are too well acquainted
with the climate and the_physical conditions
of the sectio to be traversed, and partly
because they hink there is a very good
Klondike her in supplying the wants of
the Klondik s themselves. All sorts and
conditions of people are going through, the
great majority of whom have no idea what-
ever of what is to be encountered. Why,
one young fellow wrote to Calgary, asking
if his bicycle would be Of any use to him.
Another man on stepping off at the depot
mad, "Thank goodness, the worst of the
journey's over." Pin afraid there will be
a lot of sadder and wiser men returning
home before the year is very much elder.
"I ant glad to hear from my old Seaforth
friends through you, and am glad to hear of
your success. You must ear ainly have had
a very successful annivers . I am only
sorry I wasn't within boun ; however, it
can't be helped. I am still in splendid
health, and in good spirits -at the prospect
of being able to return home, at least for a
while."
