— Toronto Emp mM: "ES pr yposed to found an Historical Society in Prince Ed- ward Islani, and the idea seems a very commendable one. There are many facts in connection with the history of the Island that ought to be recorded in permanent form before they pass away in the mists of tradition. Many interesting dats regard- ing the settlement and progress of the country cau be gathered by these associa tions, whose labors, as times gees on, be- cones of such great value that the men who take the trouble tu conduct historical re- search may rest assured that the historian of the future willarise up and call them

blessed.”

They simp!y recognized ina maaly way a well-earned right to the position. Tuere must have been some extraordinary merit on the part of the young man who earned this recognition of his talents, aud tis fact should not be overlooked when ap- pliuding what seems to» have been a re- iharkaDdie suppression of a common preju- aice.

— Halifax Mail: ** A correspondent calls our attention tuthe fact that it is just tweive years since Mr. Laurier was driven out of Drummond aml Arthabaska. He was elected at the general election of 1874 for that constituency, with a majority of 238. Having taken office in the Mackenzie Goy- ernment he sought re-election and Octuber 27th, 1877, met his Waterloo, being de- feated by a majority of 29. It isa sugyest- ive fact, that, as the titular leader of the party, he is again in the same soup tureen. The other day he went into Richelieu, where his opponents only had a majority of 58 at the general election, and aftera vigor- ous fight hed the mortification of seeing his candidate ‘snowed under’ by 334 ma-

jority. rhe twelve years that have inter- vened since Octuber, 1887, have been sad ones for gritism, but bright ones for Canada.

it uf these, got up a four page pamphiet ‘commendations. The ] ubbshers got uj] the announcement on page four of the ** Problem of Problems.” The assault is on them, and not on me.

The publishers sent a copy of the work to Dr. McCosh. The most flattering notice the book ever received appeared in the Princeton Review, and as the copy sent to Princeton was sent to Dr. McCosh, the publishers assumed that he wrote it. They way have been mistaken. Dr. McCosh, in his letter, evidently mistakes my book for Wilford Hall’s ** Problem of Human Life.” Your Summerside inspiration has made an-

other failure.

Lonpon, Uct. 28—The marriage of |

Prince Hatzfeldt to Miss Clara Huntington, daughter of C. P. Huntington, of New York, took place to-day in the Catholic Oratory at Brompton.

Apiienr, Kan., Oct. 28.—Abilene Bank,

owned by Mayor C. H. Lebold and Col. J. |

M. Fisher, suspended this morning. It was considered the strongest financial insti- tution in Central Kansas. Deposits amount: ed to $200,000, principally local. Re dis- counts and individual loans swell the liabilities to $400,000. The firm claims to own $600,000 worth of rea! estate, and say they will pay in full if given time to real- ize. The depreciation which f llowed the

| boom of 1884 steadily dragged them down.

rhe bank isa besieged by depositors, who lemand a settlement. A number of busi- ness houses are sufferers, and business is practically paralyzed.

Lonpon, Oct. 28.—Despatches from Athens admit that the cruelties of Turkish troops in Crete are ceasing, but say politi- cal persecutions continue.

An Awful Story ef the Sea.

SAILORS CONFESS TO HAVING EATEN THE FLESH OF DEAD COMRADES,

A Baltimore despatch say g: Carl Graves, fireman, and Ludwig Lodes, seaman, sur- vivors of the crew of the steamship Earn- moor, tell a horrible story of the way they sustained life by cannibalism for days. Loder says : ** The only food we had the first fifteen days in the boat was a flying fish anda few raw small birds divided among eleven men, The sixteenth day, Williams Davids, a seaman, caught me by the throat, and made a dash at my head with akuife. He cut me on the right cheek, the scar from which still remains. He was told to kill me by August Plagge, a fireman. When Davids began to cut me, some of my companions caught him, while others shouted * Kili him, kill him; we want something to eat. We are starving.”

** Plagge, Davids and others in one ena of the boat decided that I should die. As J was pretty fat, | suppose they thought I looked inviting. Plagge was placed on watch that night, but he was missing the next morning. Noone saw him go over- beard. On the seventeenth day William Robinson lay down to sleep. When they tried to call him they found he was dead. It was ‘etermined to eat his flesh, and Wil- liam Wright, the cook, was ordered to carve the body. The first thing dune was (o smash in Robinson’s skull and from the fracture each one sucked the blood as long as it lasted, which was but a little while. Then the cook stripped the flesh from the ribs. The next day the flesh in strips was placed on top of the watertight compart- ments and dried in the sun. After taking cut Robinson’s liver, heart and other parts which would furnish blood to be sucked, they threw his mutilated body into the sea. ‘Two days after Robinson’s death third en- gineer Thomas Hunt died. _ His body was also cut up for food. ,**In about three days,” continued Loder, “the limbs and feet of all began to swell and several have since broken out in ugly sores. We think it is poison from the human flesh and blood.”

Graves and Loder say they have no re- collection of the taste of the human flesh, a was their mental anguish at the
