Toronto. Dec. 1S. -The Toronto
General Trust's Corporation has 'been
appointed liquidator of the eonsplie
dated Lake Superior ComPanY,
This followed. an order by Mr.'
Justice MacMahon declaring the Con-
solidated Lake Superior Company in-

ing tip order were NV, W. Kurtz, Wia
Ilitze. Botch Wister and Nicholas 13r1ce

tition was granted and the orders;
made upoe the facts stated, and up-
on haring the admission of Spencer
1.ove, counsel for the Consolidated

John G. Ottreuth, who was duly

cut, on Sept, 28, 1.903, was joined as
a provisional liquidator with the To-
ronto General trusts Company, the
Master-in-Ordinery to appoint per-
manent liquidators as events arise.
A strange oromeeing.
"Mr. Bicknell, C. C., who has -acted
for Speyer es Co., characterized the
winding up as a strange proceeding,
and doubted whether the Canadian
courts could wind op the affairs of a
company fornied under the laws of
Connecticut. He said tha proceedings
to wind up under Judge Macatahon's
order would be contested on this
ground.
For Purposes of Protection,
The lawyers for the petitioners for
the order., to wind up say that the
application has been made, for the
purpose of protecting the, sharehold-
ers and creditors generally. In. the
face of this order °Speyer * Co. can-
not go on or do anything without the
consent and direetifon of • the court.,
and the assets of the company , will

ervision of the count. Mr; Carruth,
the liquidator appointed, . Is a•
delphinia who• has always maintained

and shareholders. The result of the.
order, if continued, will be the oust-.
ing of Mr. Faeleenthal front his posi-
tion as receiver' for Speyer 'Co, at

London, Dee, 1,5,,-(0, A. P.) -Lord
BraseeY. Speaking at a special meet-
ing of the London: Chamber of Com -
Marco yesterday, dwelt on Sir Wil-
frid Laurieras declaratiou before the
Chamber of Commerce in favor of
maintaining the fiscal independerice of
Canada, end P. W. Ellis' statement
to the Manufacturers' Association
that she had given preference enough.
As a follower of the Duke of Dev-
onshire, Lord Ilasebery saw no course
more practical than an interchage at'
opinions on the best way to help
each other. Any financial diseuseions
with the colonies should be avoided.
The best way to strengthen the de-
fences of the Empire would' be found
to be by urging the colonial Govern -
meats to see that their local forces
were efficient. Canada might give ef-
fective aid to the Imperial navy by
providing men. The Admiralty should
provide drill sheds, drill ships and
adequate pay for their, retainers. It
Was paltry, anti petty for the Home
Goversonefit, with aa appropriation
of £35,000,000 to wrangle with New-
foundland over the cost of a drill
shed. An, extended systene of British
emigration was needed, which the
London Chamber should devise, There
should be a liberal subsidy from Im-
perial funds for a fast ocean service
to Canada. The training of the nary
in time of peace would direct all to
the fleet in wartime. He strongly fav-
ored Lord Strathcohaes proposal of
encouraging university students to
travel„ in Canada.
Sir William C. 33rOoke said he
wanted the bestpostal arrangements
with Canada for British newspapers.
He believed that Canadian manufac-
turers would eventually close the,
market against British' manufactur-
ers. B. Irving. of Vancouver held 'that

tion by the United States for a clos-
er commercialunion there was 'dans.

A Henry George Vas.
The Wit campaign in which Henry
George was permitted .to , engage
abounded in wordy encounters.. In
making squelching rejoinders to im-
pertinent (Ili -cations the famous single
taxer could not be excelld. During
one of his addresses Henry George re-
marked that a lifetime had been de-
voted to the dissemination of his single
tax Views. • •• •
"And what have you etecomplished?"
Inquired a Voice in the audience.
• "Taxed New York's halls to their
greatest ,paptteities," Said the orator
suavely. And a delighted audience
would not permit him to continue for
some minutes.
A reiteral Minded Claim.
A teacher 14 one of the Schools near
Philadelphia had one day been so dis-
turbed by the bussing of lips and shuf-
fling of feet of the eitildren that Bile
was on the verge Of dietractIon. Final-
ly she eald: "Children, I cannot stand
so Much noise. Plate° be quiet for a
little while, at least. Let mo ore if you
can't be so 'still that you could hear a
pin drop,"
Instantly every child became as still
as a mouse. Then a little boy in a back
seat piped out, with marked. impa-
tienee:
"Nlrell, let her drop!"

He Loved Ifits Enemies,
James MacNeill Whistler looked. upon
life as upon a kind of warfare and was
never so happy as when he was quar-
reling with somebody. He is quoted as,
having said when asked. if he did not
have many friends: "Yes, I have many,
friends, and I am grateful to them, but
those whom most I love are my eta •
mies; not in a Biblical sense, Oh, no,
but because they keep one always busy,
always up to the mark, either fighting
them or proving Diens idiots."
Lumbago and
Pains in the Back
Totally disabled this Mereltant-PilYst.
clans failed, but Dr. Chase's KidneY. .
Liver Pills cured.
MR. Tnottas A. Deming, general merchant,
Springhill, N.S., writes:-
'As the result of a severe cold settling on
the kidneys, I contracted kidney disease, which
lingered for years, causing tne much suffering
from terrible pains in
the back.For some
time I was*entirely up-
-able to work, and though
I tried several phyee
clans I could only obtain
slight temporaly relief.
"Having heard 'of the
merits of Dr. Chase's
Kidney -Liver Pills in
many similar cases, I
began tome them, and
after Using seven boxes
was completely cured.
The cure is due entirely
EXBRE11 to the use of this grand
ealicine, which has since cured several per.
as to Whom I recommended them."
