bentures would be issued bearing 41/2 per cent. The interest would be equal- ly divided between the Indians and the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, Halifax. and the Government would be relieved correspondingly of contribu- tion to the latter institution. The Government would have no costs to pay except the taxed costs of its own solicitor.

The PREMIER next introduced a resolution authorizing the issue of de— bentures to provide compensation to the estate of Dame Louise. Augusta Wood for certain lands on township Number Sixty-Seven, sold by the Com- lnissloner of Public Works.

He said this was another of these ancient wrongs devolving upon their shoulders to set right. They had no lot or part ill creating the injustice which they were called upon to remedy. They had taken the matter up with the object of doing justice to all con- cerned. There was no doubt that the people who bought the Lady Wood estate from the Government were en‘ titled to protection. and there was like- wise no doubt they owed a. duty to the bulimia and the Deaf and Dumb and must see that they were not‘de- prived of their rights under Lady Wood's will. By precipitate action on the part of the trustees .six suits were commenced against the purchasers of the estate and judgment given against two of thcnl. and this necessitated the Government passing a law to protect these innocent purchasers. As the re. suit of the subsequent negotiations. tile Government had brought these purchasers out soot-free. and at the seals time ilad safe-guarded the in- terest of the beneficiaries under the will. The settlement he considered was as just and equitable us human consideration could make it. As he had already stated debentures l'or $8.500 at 41/5 pcr cellt. would be issued and the interest divided between the llldians and the Deaf and Dumb ill~ stitution.

Mr. RICHARDS approved of the set- tlelllellt. and said it was only right and proper that this matter should be disposed of.

Tile Act to incorporate the Chili‘- lotietown Curling Club was read a third time and passed.

The House adjourned for luncheon.

O" resumption ill the afternoon Mr. Ilunlain moved the second reading of the hill to incorporate the ltusllco Rural Telephone Company. The House tllen resolved itself into a committee of the whole (Mr. Dobie in tile chair). to consider the bill. 0n the motion of the Premier the following clause ill the bill was struck out:—

"9. The Company shall have power to sell and convey its Rural Telephone line to the Telephone (‘onl any of Prince Edward island at any ti e, by and wiiil the consent of the majority of the shareholders. at a special meet- ing called for that purpose. or at any general annual meeting, for such con- sideration as may be mutually agreed to. the deed of transfer to be sufficient- ly executed, if signed by the majority of tile Board of Directors."

Clause 11 (re-numbered 10) was also deleted. The bill was tllen reported agreed to. engrossed and ordered to a third reading.

The PREMIER laid on the table the annual report of the public scilools of the province for the year ended 31st December. 1914.

On the motion of the Premier the House then resolved itself into com- mittee to resume consideration of the “Companies’ Act.”

At 5.45 the Chairman reported pro- gress and asked for leave to sit again. Mr. J. KENNEDY. acting chairman of the Committee on Private Bills, re- ported the following bills to be of a. private nature and recommended the payment of the fees sct opposite their nanamesr—Acts to incorporate Noy, Holman & Gillis, Ltd. $40.

TWO THOUSAND MEAT SHOPS ARE CLOSED.

LONDON. March 28.-—— Two thou- sand butcher sllops have been closed ill England since the beginning of the war. The increased prices of meat. and the effort in most households to economize has been the cause for the decreased consumption which had hit the retail butcher very hard. Probably more meat than ever be- fore is being imported into the Brit- ish isles. but a large proportion of it goes immediately into the hands of the Government for supplying the sol- diers at home and abroad. The busi- ness of the average retail butcher. ec- cordlllg to trade journals, has decreas- ed twenty per cent.

Private A.‘Hughes, formerly of Mill Cove. writes from France as follows:

Somewhere in France. March 10th, 1916.

My dear Sister.——I don't know exact- ly when I can post this letter. I have a few minutes to myself. so I ‘th’o’ught I would write a line or two. It seems strange that on each occasion when something hazardous comes up’to me I receive a letter from home, and do you know it warms my heart. and when danger is near I have the letter to think of instead of the position I am in. Today was the day or days thus far. Picture to yourself hundreds of guns throwing tire and metal, the Very air vibrating with the concus- sions from the guns. death and destruction, as it were. the powers of hell let. loose, and you have some idea of an attack supported by artillery. Our Canadian boys cannot be beaten. They have shown their mettle and steadfastness and i think are going to win the admiration of the Allies. Wily I did not see the P.E.l. quota on Salis- bury Plains, is that they were some miles away. On many occasions I planned to go, but some duty or other intervened and i found it impossible to get there. I do not know where they are now, but they are some miles away. The only chance of meeting them now is that we might be billetted near to one another sometime. I can't give an account of our trip yet. as it will be censored. All I can say is that France is a country well worth fight- ing for. It is terrible to compare the part unvisited by the plague of war with the‘devastation and ruin near the seat of hostilities. The country is very thickly populated and every foot of soil is cultivated to support them. Later on i shall give you a description of some of the places visited. In one place i visited the church was nearly in ruins from shrapnel. In another peaceful place i visited the church and saw everything in perfect order, and ill the peace and calm inside you would never dream that the greatest drama. in the world‘s history was being acted outside. The churches are beautifully furnished, bronze statues adorn every niche and seen» lngly every care is taken to keep everything beautiful and clear. I ill- teud to do my duty as far as in my power. I shall experience many trials and sllall be where death lurks. bllt our duties are duties tilat perhaps are not appreciated as much as they should. because we not only run the risk of the ordinary soldier, bllt do our best to save lives that otherwise would be lost. Do llotlworry about me. I am well and feel fine. Many poor fellows will never return. but the cause is a. righteous one and right nlust will. 1 am in hopes to see yell all before many months. if not. re- member I love you all and the old

Each llulllbcr on the programme at the Prince Edward Theatre yesterday measured up to the “excellence” mark; ill fact each was a distinct feature. Perhaps the nlost popular was “The Return of the Twins‘ Double." featuring the renowned and ever popular team. Grace Cunard and Francis Ford. with other “Lucille Love" slurs. It was a brilliant conl~ hat of wits. keeping the excitement at fever heat throughout the play. There were no long drown out scenes, but quick action all the time. and one had to keep their eyes on the screen ill- creasingiy. Shown in three parts, it was the best of these detective plays. with Grace Cunard and Francis Ford. yet shown at. the Prince Edward. and all lovers of these stars who could not attend yesterday sllould not fail to see it today.

Ilia wife is compelled to work in a “ sweat shop " to maintain herself and her son. The boy is taken ill. fronl want of proper nourishment. and develops coll- sunlptlon.
