Eviction and Crime.

In the course of his excellent speech Mr. Blake showed

in Lreland follows closely on the

on W ednesday evening,

that crime

heels of eviction. In 1850, 104,163 persons were evicted in Ireland and 136,200 out rages occurred. In 1852 32,495 persons were evicted and the outrages fell to 913.

In 1856 the evictions numbered 5,714 and

the outrages were reduced to 283. In 1866 only 3,571 persons were evicted and only 86 trages were recorded in that year.

On the other hand: In 1879, 4,515 persons

were evicted in Ireland, and the number of outrages then was 870. In 1880, 100,- 657 persons were evicted and 2,590 out- rages were perpetrated. In 1881, there

were 17,341 evicted and 4,437 outrages. Ia

the first qtarter of 1886 2,451 persons were

evicted in Kerry alone, and in the same period no less than 81 outrages occurred in that unhappy county.

Mr. Blake also submitted the following There Ireland about

650.000 tenant farmers. Of these, 538,000

statistics are in pay an annual rent ranging from £1 to £20 There are about 121,000 who pay an average The entire rent colleeted from the tenant, far- mers is in the neighborhood of £10,417,000

sterling, or about $52,000,000 annually.

Questions of the Future.

PrivcipaL Grant, in his recent speech

at the dinner of the graduates of McGill

College, said :

“We are still merely a colony, we save not yet ventured to assume our position of having an equal share in the administration of the Empire, or, if.we are not fit for that, to take up our independence for ourselves. I say that one or other of these things must come (loud cheers) beeause yor shall never be con- tent to remain in the position of mere colonial-

ism. (Renewed cheers. I look to the uni- versities to do this work more than any ethers. The other day I was ata little club

of our students, some thirty of them from the Maritime Provinces. I heard one say: ‘ We are here from Nova Scotia, of different creeds and polities, but there is not one secessionist among us-” (Loud cheers.) That is the spirit fostered in universities. (Applause.) Within the next decade we shall have to face the greatest questions that Canada has ever had to face. 1 do not care how they are solved, provided the men who discuss them do so from two points of view : ist. The Canada First pointof view. (Enthusiastic cheers.) A man has no right even te throw away his own life ; and there is such a thing, as Sir William pointed out, as a prudent regard for one’s

oul

Stray Shots--By Bismarck.

Can any of our local astronomers tell us [what that unusually brilliant star is that blazes in the N. W. heavens at ten o'clock at night now? Is this the Star of Bethle- } hem we are to look for, while we congratu- late ourselves that no one has seen it for ‘hundreds of years and no one will see it for the next hundred or two6, unless some lof us determine to wait patiently for its re- | appearance, as the centennial man vowed he would enjoy the next American centen- nial because he was cheated out of seeing the last one: Centennials were all the rage then, and we were sick and tired of the name, as also of the cut of the medal that graced every second advertisement. ee

The only centennial now in vogue is that of the establishment of the first Colonial bishopric of the Anglican church, Nova Scotia enjoying that distinction. One of the sad aspeets of the death of the vener- able Bishop Binney is that his demise will no doubt throw a damper over the festivi- ties of the celebration, and perhaps pre- vent the brilliant gathering of dignitaries which was fixed for tthat event. But it should not retard the progress of the mag- nificent cathedral to be erected as the cen- tennial monument.

.

We presume we may soon look for the

commencement of the Cathedral the Roman

Catholics of this city intend to build. It

will doubtless be an adornment to the city. *_*

A very sensible civic adornment just now would be an universal coat of paint. Last year many of our prominent citizens beau- titied their premises in this way—an_initia- tive in a course worthy of being followed. Plenty of paint protects property, adds to its value, and is one of the best preserva- tives of disease known.

+*

While all the women are turning the house upside down inside, we men could busy ourselves with the painters outside, The dust will soon be here, and then good bye to outdoor painting. A good way to rid a house of the smell of paint is to put some strawin attbof water, and let it stand in the room. It is one of the things difficult to account for, but we believe it really does absorb the objectionable smell of paint.

= + Talking of sanitary matters, suggests our closing our ‘Stray Shots” to-day with some quotations from the fourteenth annual

report of the Board of Health of the City . of Reading, Pennsylvania, which we make from a copy kindly lent by ex-Consul Keim to one of

our citizens. The quotations we make are so generally interestmg and _ peculiarly applicable to Charlottetown, that we trust they will be read and mentally digested by our citizens at large :— VITAL STATISTICS.

“ The vital statistics accompanying this report are not only highly interesting for the informa- tion they contain, but they should be given the widest publicity, since there is no class of facts, all things considered. which outrank in real

own interest, as a self-regarding motive to secure an unselfish end. Much less has a man a right to sacrifice his country. We must look at the future from that point of view. rhe ond that we must persuade our- selves that we are not a mere combination of provinces. lf there is one thing that has given strength to the Irish Home Rulers in their great contest it is the truth that ll men, even their adversaries, acknowledge and which Parnell uttered when he said ‘‘Ilre- land a nation.” (Cheers.) Much more is this Canada of ours a nation. (Cheers.) We are all sailing together in the one boat, and we must all look tothe safety of that boat. Loud and prolonged cheering.)

It appears that Mr. Welsh stated in the House of Commons ‘‘That Mr. Fergu- son, the Tory candidate for Queen’s, P. E. I., had read a telegram from Sir Charles Tupper promising that if Mr. Ferguson was returned the Government would build a subway.” Sir Charles Tupper denied having sent such a telegram; and it is quite certain that Mr. Ferguson never read such a telegram to the people of this Province. The gist of the telegram sent by Sir Char- les and read by Mr. Ferguson appeared in THe Examiner, and may be referred to by persons who doubt that Mr. Welsh misre- presented it to Parliament.

They will run three trips per week from St. John to Boston, Mon- days, Wednesdays and Fridays, via East- port and Portland, and one trip direct every Saturday night. This. latter tri proved to be very popular last season, an & great convenience to the travelling public. They will also run a steamer from Anna- polis to Boston every Tuesday p. m., thus making five trips per week from the Pro- vinces to Boston. The Palace steamers of this line are the finest of their class afloat, ind are the only side whee! steamers ply-

gvoes inte

ing between the Provinces and New Kngland. They are luxuridusly fitted and furnished, nothing being spared that wild wid tw theic calety and cumgéurt

importance those which relate to the healthful- ness ofacity which is seeking to multiply its industries and augmentits wealth and popula- tion. Generally syeaking, a city’s death rate is an approximately fair index of its sanitary condition.”

WATER SUPPLY.

“Tmpure drinking water has long been re- organized as one of the most potent causes of disease and death. Numerous investigations have shown that a great mortality visits certain classes and communities, in consequence of using water contaminated by organic matter. Impure water, like impure air, may engender a general impairment of the health without giving rise to any very well pronounced diseases.”

“The iniurious effects upon the animal economy of drinking the water from wells and springs located in different parts of the city, have been so often pointed out before that it seems almost superfiuous to revert to the subject again.”

“The presence of organic matter in well and spring water, percolated through the soil from cess-pools, or other filth accumulations, converts drinking waterintoa dangerous poison fraught with disease and death. There is danger in water known to be contaminated with animal matter, and the germs of disease, which may be communicated in this way, have a tenacity of life altogether beyond our knowledge.”

“Too much stress cannot be given the fact that a specimen of well or spring water, as clear as crystal, and which appears to be all right so far asthe senses of sight, taste and smell are concerned, may yet be very impure, as a chemi- cal analysis will show. In the propagation of typhoid fever, no agent is so active asa polluted water supply.”

WASTE MATERIAL. “This city will soon beconfronted with the

perplexed nestion of how to dispose of its refuse material. Thisis one of the most difficult ques- tione with which authorities in cities have to

deal, but one whose importance cannot be evaded or ignored. The almost endless discussion of the matter by health authorities'every where, showsa wide divergence of opinion. and indicates that the true remedy has not yet been discovered.”

“In most cities, at the present time, this waste material is dpisosed of in one or three ways: 1. By dumping it on ground adapted for the pur- pose, and in localities where it will not be offensive to sight or smeli; 2. By burning ; 3. By depositing it in lakes, rivers or in{the sea.”

‘Theoretically by far the best way of disposing of this offensive material is to burn it. This would cause a complete! destruction of the material itself, andany germ of disease which might be contained init, But the process is ¢x- ceedingly expensive and on that account im- practicable,”

“ A sewerace farm,carried on by private enter- prise, or at the putiicexpens:. where all refuse matter could be converted into and used asa fertilizer, seems to us to be the most feusible, and most economical plan.”

“ The more compact the population the greater becomes the necessity for sewers. With the in- crease of buildin and the macadamizing of streets less of the surface water is absorbed by the earth, taxing our gutters tothe utmost, very often overflowing the sidewalks and flooding the cellars of dwellings. We are aware that the construction of sewers involves a large expendi- ture of money, but they are greatly needed for sanitary reasons. From the standpoint of public health it would be difficult to exaggerate the benefits which will ultimately accrue to the people by the adoption of a system of public sewerage,

PONDS OF FOUL SURFACE WATER,

* There can be little doubt that ponds of foul and stagnant water are a cause of disease. While it may be somewhat difficalt to define the precise relation that exists between the presence of of- fensive and stagnant water on the one hand and the prevalance of disease on the other, yet a careful study of the matter has convinced us that such ponds of water are breeders of disease of no inconsiderable importance.”

In his general summary the President says :-

‘A retrospective glance at the work of the department during .the past year sufficiently /demonstrates the fact that much sickness and consequent loss of life may be prevented vu proper sanitary measures judiciousiv applied an econstientiously carried out. The principles that underlie all sanitary work are simple enough,and the teachi of modern scientists must convince every one it is only by the minutest attention to degails that we can hope to sucressfully guard ourselves against the Gotague that surround us, Tt is the earnest longing of the Board to see in the near future in and around every human | habitation pure air, pure water and pure soil.” | i a | THe customs receipts at the port of Halifax | for the month of April were $166,883, an in- crease of $101,550, over the same period last

St. Vincent de Paul's Ladies Aid Society.

ae

Tar ladies of St. Vincent de Paul's Ladies Aid Society closed the seasou’s work Wednes- day by one of the most enjoyable socials ever given on like occasions. During the winter months, under Rev. Father Burke's direction, they have been meeting in the Convent de Notre Dame to sew for the deserving poor. An idea of the amount of work they have accomplished may be seen from the Secretary's report :

“St. Vincent de Paul’s Ladies Aid_ Society was reorganized this year on the first Wednesday of November, with the following staif of officers :—

President— Mrs. P. Blake,

Vice do—Mrs. T. Handrahan.

Treasurer—Mrs. J. McDonnell.

Secretary—Mrs. Kickham.

“ During the year a large amount of relief has been afforded to the poor. as will be seen from the list of articles distributed. The following list does not comprehend many things given away, and many little charities extended which could not well be put under these headings: 40 coats, 44 pairs pants, 5 vests, 30 pair boots, 38 shirts, 8 sacques, 20 dresses, 25 under garments, 5 bonnets, 13 caps; besides material given to those mothers capable of manufacturing it into clothes themselves.

The sum of $35.50 was received in members fees. Various contributions in cloth, dress goods, a sewing tnachine, ete., were handed in. ‘

“ From a passing glance at the hst of distribu- tions it will be seen chat some means, only known to our director, Rev. Father Burke, must have been available whereby to meet the large outlay such charity necessitated.

tuTH KICKHAM, Secretary. Charlottetown,!May 3, 1887.

It was then to close up the work of the year that the principal ladies of the Cathedral congregation assembled in the Convent Hall yesterday afternoon, and a very fitting manner indeed it was to bring so excellent a work to a termination. At 3.45 the entertainment commenced, the pupils of the Convent schools producing the following

After this excellent programme had been faultlessly carried out, the Secretary, Mrs. Kickham, read the above report, and Father Burke reviewed the year’s work, thanking the good ladies in the name of the poor little onés they had so charitably assist- ed,for their attendance during the year and the good work they had performed. He also, in the name of the Society, returned thanks to the Sisters who had put a room in the Convent at their disposal, and jin every. way contributed towards the good work. The musical part of the programme over, all present were invited into “the spacious recreation hall of the Convent, where a huge table groaned under its load of good things. Here tea and coffee were served,and the delicacies provided discussed ‘amid merry laugh and flowing cheer. ” Besides the ladies of the Society the Sisters of the House and St. Joseph’s Convent, the Rev. Fathers Burke and Gallant, the Hon. Premier Sullivan, D. O’Meara Reddin, Esq., and the pupils of the School sat down to tea. At six o'clock, all repaired to the Convent Chapel, where Benediction brought a most pleasant and enjoyable social to a close.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Protest.

Srr,—In yesterday's Examrver there ap- —_ an advertisement from Messrs. James

aton & Co., in which we think an at- tempt is made to injure our character. We value our reputation and would seek re- dress through another channel if the charge was made direct instead of being meanly insinuated. Messrs. Paton & Co's. adver- tisement reads thus:— ‘‘Public attention is directed to the fact that unlike many dry goods merchants who apparently live by what they term cheap sales, expiration of lease sales, &c., &c., we only advertise what we mean, and shall not attempt to de- ceive the public, &c.” As there are not many dry goods merehants in Charlotte- town, and as we recently had an advertise- ment in your paper headed ‘‘Expiration of Lease,” we are no doubt the firm referred to. We have never attempted to deceive the public. Last summer we interviewed our earn for the purpose of getting our lease renewed, but-could not make a satis- factory arrangement. As we only had a few months to dispose of our heavy stock, we advertised a clearance sale, and thanks to our many friends in town and country, who readily responded to our advertise- ment, a very successful clearance was made.

In December last our Mr. Perkins, on his own account, made an offer to Mr. Heard for the larger store of the two we occupied (the smaller one being rented to Goff Bros.), and it was accepted. We then made an arrangement to start business again, with Mr. George M. Moore as a new partner. Now we know we have not de- ceived the public in any way. The public always like to get cheap goods. We are sorry that Messrs. Paton & Co. have adopted this scurrilous kind of advertising. Trying to blacken the character-of one's competitors does not seem to bea very business-like way of trying to secure addi- tional trade. We find truthful advertising and low prices better means of accomplish- ing thisend. Trusting, sir, that those engaged in dry goods or any other trade may have a successful season,

We remain, Yours truly, Perkins & Srexns.

A TELEGRAM to the St. John Sum states that owing toa ‘‘washout” which rendered the railway impassable the remains of - Bishop Binney had to be sent round by way of Mon- treal. Consequently they could not be re- ceived in Halifax before this afternoon; and the funeral has probably been postponed.
