This is cne of the ‘* Timely Comments of our highly moral and religious contem

point out that the Guardian has missed an opportunity to express its own fervent thankfulness for the patronage extended to

Guardian's little bill for advertising for the Government was $68.35, a much larger sum, proportionately, than that received by Tue Examiner. The Guardian isa weekly

The idea that Tue EXAMINER gets so much mouey for supporting the Government is 4 very erroneous one. THE Examiner has one of the best jobbing establishments in the Province, employs first-class printers, fills all orders as promptly as possible, renders full value, gives satisfaction to its customers, and so obtains the patronage as well of the Gov- ernment as of the public at large. —_—— ~—-_.

A late San Francisco despatch says that fortwo days past warm rains have been falling in Siskiyou mountains and the Up- per Sacramento Valley, and the danger of destructive floods is greater than at any previous time this season because of the en- ormous accumulation of snow which will be melted; and unless a sudden freeze oc- curs to stop the thaw, the whole valley from Red Bluff to the capital city will be inundated.

Some time ago we referred to the case in which Dr. Barnardo was ordered to deliver up to his mother a boy who, it seems, had been adopted, on the doctor's suggestion, by a Canadian farmer. The matter has been the subject of much controversy and the philanthropic doctor complains bitterly of the persecution to which he has been sub- jected. Unhappily, religion is mixed up with the case, asthe boy was a Roman Catholic. It isalleged that the child had actually been sold by his mother before he was found by the person who placed him in Dr. Bernardo’s hands. Aw outcry was then raised and the mother gave a tirm of solicit- ors authority to claim the child, with the result already mentionad. Dr. Bernardo wrote to Cardinal Manning on the condition of Roman Catholic children of parents who were unfit to take charge of them, or who were without parents or guardians, urging His Eminence to have homes established for them. Ia this and other letters the Dr. defends his course, in which he al- ready signified his resolution to persist until proper provision was made by others for such waifs.

She told the detective she was the daughter of a Presbyterian minister, and that her father was pastor of the Charlottetown church for eighteen years.

(St. John Telegraph, 5th.)

Excitement and curiosity over the arrest of Mrs. Weeks, at the Dufferin, were rife yesterday, but people could learn little and had to quietly await developments. A Telegraph reporter interviewed last evening, a lady, who is intimately acquainted with all the parties who are in any way con- nected with the strange affair. The lasy mentioned said that Mrs. Weeks absolutely denied any complicity in the crime of which she 1s accused, and also stated that Mrs. Weeks had not been within the re- sidence of Mr. Sutherland for over 18 months. The theory of Mrs. Weeks’ friends is that Mrs. Sutherland pvisoned herself. In accordance with a telegram from Mr. Peters of Charlottetown, Lieut. Col. John R. Armstrong has been retained to look after the interests of Mrs. Weeks. He had a protracted interview with her yesterday. Mrs. Weeks’ friends are natur- al y indignant at some of the charges pub- lished against her, and express implicit confidence in her innocence. Constable Cameron, of Charlottetown, arrived here last night by the midnight train with a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. R. T. Weeks, issued on suspicion of administer- ing poison with murderous intent to Mrs. Sutherland. During an interview with 4 Teleyraph reporter Mr, Cameron stated that the despatch from Charlottetown in reference to the case, which is published to-day, is substantially correct. He said that he would convey Mrs. Weeks to Char- lottetown as suon as her health permitted. Seing questioned as tv the statement that Mrs. Weeks had not been within Mr. Sutherland’s for 18 months, the constable replied that she lived just across the street from Mr. Sutherland. The arsenic had been found in the whiskey some three weeks ago.

(Telegram From St. John.)

Sr. Jounx, N. B., Feb. 5.—Officer Cam- eron, vf Charlottetown, declines to say what caused suspicion to point to Mrs. Weeks. He did not know whether or not the story was true that she had not been in the Sutherland house for a year and a half, but said she lived just across the street from Sutherland. ‘The poison, he said, was foundin a bottle of whiskey, which had been bought for Mrs. Suther- land by her husband. He did not know how the pvison had _ been placed in it. Mrs. Weeks, he said, was not under police surveillance when she left Charlottetown. She drove thirty three miles in « sleigh, and then crossed in the iceboats without entering a house to get warmed. He could not say who it was helped her out of the city, but said Mrs. Weeks’ housekeeper had said a number of persons had called and had advised her to go to the States, whither she was bound when prostrated by cold in this city. He did not know it was her disap- pearance that led to her arrest. Asked about when he would return, he said that depended altogether on Mrs. Weeks’ health. He had not seen her, but under- stood she would not be moved for some days. Mr. J. R. Armstrong, who has been retained for Mrs. Weeks, was also seen. tie said his client was willing and anxious to return to Charlotte- town. He ceuld not say who helped her escape. She protested her innocence of the crime, and denied that she paid $20 for her ice boat passage. She gave the ordinary fee and a sinall gratuiry for some

little kindagss. He knew vuthing vi Ute
