Rev. Father Dowd, of Patrick's Church, Montreal, the celebration of whose jubilee we have already chronicled, has been presented with a purse of $20,000 subscribed for by the citizens of all deno minations, a5 a mark of respect to a worthy

the old Barrack grounds near the Park are mentioned. by means let it be near the city, so that our people can witness the manceuvres of the men.

At the Mercier banguet in last week, Mr. James D. Edgar, a bosom friend of Hon. Edward Blake, and one of

Saturday evening’s meeting in the

Stipendiary Magistrate’sCourtroom gave an additional impetus to the Jubilee celebra- tion. The collecting committee's report shows that our citizens are alive to the benefits accruing from a demonstration such as that proposed to be held on the 30th June and Ist July. A draft of the pro- gramme for the two days will be found in another column.

Our telegraphic advices were to the effect that the convention be- tween England and Turkey provided for the evacuation of Egypt by England three years hence. In addition to the foregoing information it may be added that if after that time internal trouble arise, the British and Turkish troops shall re-occupy the country jointly or separately, as the two governments may agree, no other power to be allowed to intervene.

-Some of our exchanges contain what purports to be extracts from an alleged memoir on Irish affairs, prepared by the Irish College at Rome. This memoir handles Gladstone, Parnell and the others who are fighting Ireland’s battle,without gloves. A Rome correspondent of the Associated press has made enquiries into this memoir business and states that the authorities assure him that no document on the condition of Ireland has been issued from the college, nor has any body of its members denounced the Parnellites.

Friday last wag school Arbor Day in Moncton. Considerable interest was taken in the proceedings. About one hundred trees were planted on the various school grounds, including a jubilee tree for each department." The other trees were named

in honor of the mayor, police magistrate and police marshal, school trustees and teachers, the best boy and girl in each

schoo! department, the newspapers of the town, ete. The proceedings were brought to a close with appropriate selections from the school children and addresses by the trustees. ‘

- Dr. Horatio L. Wood,of Philadelphia, is cited in the Health Journal tor the important point that the vital parts of the system must be substantially well balanced in vigor in order to attain long life. Persons far from robust, especially of the female sex, often outlive those noted for extraordinary strength and hardihood. Excessive strength in one part is in fact a source of damage. An over developed

Canadian

muscular system invites dissolution, be- cause it 1s a@ constant strain on the less powerful ergans, and finally wears them

out. The premature breaking down of the athletes and gymnasts, in the prime of life, constantly attests this truth.

The last Blue Book containing the

balance of the correspondence on the fish- eries dispute between Canada and the United States has been laid before Par- liament. Secretary Bayard of the United States, in referring to the seizure and sale of the Highland Light, makes no com- plaint. In all other seizures he complains of the treatment received at the hands of some of the captains of the cruisers. In referring to the seine, lost by the Sarah H. Prior off Malpeque, Bayard says : ‘‘The ves- sel lost her seine, and it was found by a Canadian vessel. The captain of the Cana- dian vessel offered to return the seine to the Prior, but was prevented trom doing so by the captain of the cruiser Critic, and in consequence the Prior had to return home without fish and in debt. Captain McLaren, of the Critic, in reply, says he was asked by the captain of the American fishing vessel if the same could be returned to him from the Canadian schooner. He replied that he would interfere if the captain of the Canadian schooner chose to rur. the risk of taking the thing in his own hand ; but the proper course was to report the matter to the collector of customs, who was also receiver of wrecks, and that then; if the captain of the Prior could prove he owned the seine he could get it by paying costs. The American *captam then said that, as the seine was all. torn-to pieces he would not bother about it. end uf the matter.”

THE DAILY EXAMINE

The French Crisis.

France is just now suffering from an- other of those periodical critical periods so common to that country. Her ministry has resigned and M. DeFreycinet has de- clined the call to organize a new one. General Boulanger, the French Minister of War, appears to be one of the chief causes of the present crisis. He holds the fort and expresses himself to the affect that no statesman will have the hardihood to at- tempt to remove him from office. He was interviewed a few days ago by the Paris correspondent of the New York Herald and spoke to somewhat the following effect :—

““T would not consent to the withdrawal or modification in any way of my bill for re- organization of the army, nor of my plan for partial mobilization the coming autumn, nor would I consent to a reduction of the war budget by a single centime. Then there are certain men whom I would never consent to be in the cabinet with. They are persons who hold the dignity of the country too cheaply and who wish to put a brake on the awaken- ing of the military spirit of the nation. I do not’ wish the esprit melrtaire to go too far nor in any way to assume the air of provocation, but I am convinced that the esprit militaire is our best defence if we are attacked and I never would do anything to lessen or dim the esprit national. I would rather break my sword. If I do not torm part of the new ministry I will quietly retire. I shall leave the army prepared to organize and able to measure its strength with any army that exists. Germany will not attack us because she knows we are strong, and the Germans are a prudent race. The French army cannot for a moment hope for any ally, for there is not a single power in Europe that has confidence in us on account of our uncer- tain policy; but we do not need any. ‘I con- sider war as inevitable. To be sure we might disarm and thereby make great economies, but this would be doing exactly what our neighbors want us to do and they would make us in a very short time pay very dearly for it. The treaty of Frankfort would be repeated with stipulations which now cause France an annual loss of two or three hundred million francs and the renunciation that they demand of us of our dignity and our rights. This treaty is a veritable tribute that France pays

to Germany. Is it not preferable, more worthy of us to free ourselves fromit? I pity those who do nof understand this. In any

case I never would consent to abandon one iota of my military and political connections. So long as Iam minister of war France shall not submit to the slightest affront, and I prefer te retire rather than be in a cabinet with mem- bers who would not allow me freedom of action. I also assure you, said the general, in concluding the interview, that I will not vecept any high command of the army such as commander of a corps d’armee or any other, nor de I aspire to any office. I will wait.”

The Jubilee Meeting.

Tux Jubilee Meeting on Saturday even- ing was held in the Stipendiary Magistrates Courtroom. His Worship Mayor Haviland presided.

Mr. A. MeNeill, from the collecting com- m'ttee, reported that although they had not yet completed their labors, they had met with much encouragement and would have a statement ready to submit at the next meeting.

After some discussion, the following pro- gramme was drafted, subject to revision at next meeting :—

Tuvurspay— Royal jsalute at one o'clock. Grand military review and sham fight on Vic: toria Park in the afternoon; firemen’s torchlight procession, fireworks display ; illumination of public buildings, ete., in the evening.

Fripay—Royal salute at twelve o'clock. Procession of the different societies and trades at two o'clock; grouping of the school chil- dren on a grand stand on Queen Square and the singing of the national anthem; address by His Worship the Mayor; laying corner stone of new city building; concert in the evening.

There will be special rates by rail and steamboat,

Meeting adjourned until Friday evening next.

Clara Louise Kellegg.

To-night and to-morrow evening Miss Clara Louise Kellogg and her concert com- pany appear at the Lyceum. An exchange in a recent notice of Miss Kellogg’s per- formance says :

‘‘Miss Kellogg, a great, honorable and truly dramatic artist, delivered each of her numbers with full fervor and instant change of coloring, and also with experienced and educated judgment, which withheld her from extremes in either direction. Miss Kellogg’s triumphs as a dramatic soprano are too well known to be recalled at this time, but it is well to know that such triumphs have been won by merit and ar- tistic worth alone. Miss Kellogg was fre- quently and freely applauded, almost too freely, for, after singing Foster’s song, | Love Thee, she had to respond to a double encore, when she sang Comin’ Through the Rye, and the Swanee River. In all of these, together with her aria from Ernani, there was an artistic phrasing, a roundness of tone and evenness of range, together with a brilliancy and justice of vocalization, which combined to make a masterpiece of taste and true feeling which found utter- ance in a voice of well nigh faultless character.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

-

Rev. Mr. Percival’s Case. Six,—In an article in Saturday’s issue quoted from the Moncton Times it is stated that Rev. Mr. Percival, of British Colum- bia, while under discipline, had ‘‘seceded from the Methodist Church and joined the Presbyterians.” The first part of this state- ment may be correct, but the latter is not true. He could only be admitted by the general assembly on the recommendation of a Presbytery, and that court does not meet until June. Itis doubtful if he has even made application jto the Presbytery of British Columbia to be received, as every Presbytery is notified when any such application is made, and no notice of the kind has been received by the Presbytery of P. E.3I. If, therefore, Mr. P. has ap- plied, the Presbytery of B. C. has not for- warded his application, probably for the lack of the necessary credentials. The Presbyterian Church is not a house of re- fuge for fugitives from the discipline of the Methodist or any other evangelical de- nomination.

Yours, &c., J.M. McLeop, Presbytery Clerk.

——— ——

The Water Commissioners.

Sir,—The water commissioners will be nominated this day week, and it is time that some proper steps were taken to select suitable men for the position. A _ public meeting should, therefore, at once be called to nominate candidates. It appears that a ‘‘hole and corner” meeting was held for this purpose last week,which was called by an obscure notice inserted once or twice in the newspapers and signed by nobody. The engineers of this meeting have nomi- nated their three candidates, and it is now time that the taxpayers of Charlottetown should nominate men who possess their confidence at a public meeting called by requisition to the Mayor and held in the Market Hall, at which al] interested may have a chance to vote.

CITIZEN.

That Nuisance Again,

Sir.— Your paragraph calling the atten- tion of the Road Overseer to tlie disgraceful state of the St. Peter’s Road to the ceme- tery and the pigs rotting in the sun has evidently not had the desired effect. If the nuisances complained of are not re- moved, the next thing we may naturally expect is to hear of diphtheria or some other disease breaking out in that vicinity. Will the Commissioner of Public Works kindly see that his subordinates perform their duty, or we will be compelled to call the attention of the Health Officer to the matter.

Yours, Royatry Easv.

WILLIAM CoLLinGs, a resident of Canada Creek, King’s County, Nova Scotia, died on Tuesday last at one o'clock, in the 76th year of his age. At five o'clock inthe afternoon of the same day his wife, one year his junior, died. The aged couple had passed ugh many mournful experiences and sad afflictions, They had always seemed greatly attached to each other, and the peculiar circumstance of their death, may have been according to their own wish.
