All vehicular transportation, even to the delivery cf the matutinal can of milk or the last bill of goods purchased at a big dry-goods shop, will be accompanied by the magic of the motor. Even the pleasure vehicle—so it is predicted—will dispense with the beautiful and stately steeds who uow canter gracefully through our parks, lending rythm and color tothe glittering panorama. Our swell coachmen will no longer need to be experts with the ribbons, but will simply be required to have a good eye and a cool head—the motor will do the rest.” these predictions of the pioneers of the horseless vehicle, Mr. McKee points out that there gre reasons for their ardentclaims.

—It is our exceptional priviledge this month, says Current Literature, to record the appesrance of a new poetic star in our firmanent, Mrs Sophie Almon Hensley, whose volume of verse, “A Woman’s Love Letters,” entitles the author to take a prominent rank among our modern poets. Mra. Hensley, says Fanny Mack Lothrop, is a poet according tothe accept- ed estimate of the eternal fitaess cf things —she possesses youth, beauty, charm of manner and talent, all in a very conspicu- oue degree, and, in addition, there is per- ceptible in her verse a degree of finish and a sense of melody such as are usually found only in the works of those grown old and eminent in letters. Mrs. Hen-ley is the daughter of the late Rev. Henry Pryor Almon, of Nova Scotia, descendant of Cotton Mather, ot Massachusetts. She was born in Nova Scotia and educated in London and Paris. For her knowledge of the technique of verse she is indebted to Prof. Charles G. D. Robert«, formerly Prof. of English literature at King’s College, Windsor, N.S., and certainly no pupil ever did her teacher more credit. The cadence of her measures, her knowledge of pro- spective and her genius of restraint, which make the imagination of the reader, give double value to her words—these are al] her own, aud they are unique in a young writer. Mrs. Hensley is a resident of New York, where her lectures on Brown- ning have attracted much favorable notice.

A LETTER FROM MGR. BEGIN }
In Which he Contradicts Newspaper Re- ports of His Corference With the Lib- eral Delegation.
The following letter from Archbishop Begin, on the school question, provoked by reporis communicated to the press by the members of the Liberal delegation that waited on him on Saturday, appeared in the Quebec Chronicle:
Archbishop’s Palace, Feb. 24th, 1896. To the Editor ‘Morning Chronicle,’ Que- bec :
Dear Six,—By order of His Grace the Archbishop of Cyrene, administrator of the archdiocese of Quebec,l beg to express his regret chat the public journals have beer: appraired of certain statements which by express agreement, were not destined for publication. In order to put an end to the different versions disseminated through the press regarding the answer given last Saturday to a certain delegation His Grace deems proper to restore the accuracy necessary in so Important & mat ter, of which some newspaper accounts are devoil. The following is the ex- act summary of what His Lordship said:
(1) He had still to examine and study the text of the Remedial Order, and was, therefore, unable to express an opinion, but that, nevertheless, wishing to have a- much light as possible thrown on the sub- ject, he had a'ready consulted able legirts, untrammelled by pol.tical interests, and who do not consider the bill so defective as the gentlemen of the Opposition, and think it would be wrong not to accept its principle. ‘
(2) That there had not been, and that there was not yet, a question amongst the bishops of framing a collective _mande- ment, as the newspapers had announced. As to their future attitude in the matter, His Grace could affirm nothing, consid- ering that’his co'leagues were widely scat- tered, and that he was not thoroughly ac- quainted with all their views. Probably, however, they would manifest their opin- ioa later by some means of which Cathol- ics should take account.
(3) His Grace affirmed that he treated the school question not as a political but as a religious one, and that he had never consented, and was still unwilling to con- sent, toenlist in any political party, re- serving ‘o himself the rights of judging the acts of either party according to their merits.
(4) The Archbishop claimed for the ep'scopacy the competency requisite to judge the school question, a competency of which certain persons would like to deprive them.
(5) He energetically inveighed against the Quebec organs of the Liberal party whica, particularly of late, have been carrying on a work both unwholesome and ill-boding by making use of language most disrespectful to religious authority, which they are striving to unfermine in the spirits of the people. He added that, though the bishops had not, so far, had the intention of promulgating a collective document on the school question, be, the Archbishop, personally, was ou the pvint uf writing a pastoral letter denouncing the above newspapers, their violent language and subversive idezs, if they do not alter their tone and attitude, proclaiming there- by, once again, the duties of the Catholic press and putting the faithful on their guard against such dangerous publica- tions. I beg to remain, yours respect- fully,

‘SIR CHARLES INTERVIEWED.
‘No Trath in Opposition Rumors,
The Remedial Bill to be Carried,
The Conservative Party Uwsited and Strong.
Sie Charles Will Not Go Back to England.
Montreat, March 2.
Sir Charles Tupper, Bart., in the course of an interview said that were nothing but rumors going the rounds these days. “But you must not stop to take notice of them. I know of no changes in the lead- ership of the party, but I may say that we are now united, and that there is not the slightest doubt but that the Remedial bill will be passed, although when the vote will be taken is more than I can say just at present However, in view of the fact that Mr. Laurier has consented te the car- rying on of the debate from day to day, we may expect that it will be brought on very soon now.
“What will follow the passing of the bill is of course difficult to deter mine ; but as you are aware, the measure itself provides for action by the Dominion authorities if the Provincial Goverament refuses to act in accordance with its pro- visions. It is safe to say if Mr. Greenway does not appoint a Catholic board of edu- cation it will be for the Dominion Govern- ment todo #0, We do not want to inter- fere with the auton« my of the Province. But we are bound to actinthis schol matter just the same as though it were a matter of customs duties or something of that sort. Of course, in the natural course of things, the present Parliament will not live much longer. But the Conservative party is ready togo before the people and I have not the slightest hesitancy in saying that weshall sweep the country from end to end.
“You have, doubtless, heard in Ottawa that Sir Donald Smith’s name has been mentioned in connection with the leader- ship of the party, ’
“There is no truth whatever in the re- port. The matter has never been even dis- cussed by the members of the Govern- ment.”
“Will you say whether you intend te reurn to England in the near futrue ?”
“I am very glad, indeed, that you asked that question,” said Sir Charles, “for I desire to say that under no circumstances whatever willl go back to England as High Commissioner. I am Canadian pub- lic life once more to stay, whether we are victorious at the next election or not.

They have already examined ground in St. John, with the same purpose, and Annapolis has also been represented as possibly a desirable locality. The peni- tentiary site near the People’s Heat and Light property, was examifed among other properties in Halifax. Mr. Leckey stated that in selecting a site all the ad- vantages of assembling raw materials, as well as distributing adyantages, have been considered,
HEAVY FIRE IN HALIFAX.
Upwards of $175,000 Go Up In Smoke.
Disgraceful Scene on a Roof,
i Hatirax, March 2.
Early yesterday morning the mammoth furniture stores of Messrs. Gordon & Keith, Barrington street, were totally destroyed by fire. The loss is $175,000, of which $90,000 were covered by insurance. This is exclusive of the loss on buildings adjoin- 4ng, north and south, and stocks, viz., Miss Conroy, dry goods, completely de- stroyed;) Mrs. O°Connor, millinery, loss $5,000; A.J. Boutilier, loss $200; City Club, loss $500; Church of England Institute, loss $500 and other minor losses lere was a scene during the fire which
was net creditable te the department. While the conflagration was at its height, John E. Burns and two others were on the roof of the Orpheus or some adjoining building, holding hose and sending a stream into the southern side of Gordon & Keith’s. John T. Murphy went up to the building and told Burns that Captain Uon- polly: had told him to order the hose to be removed to another building, where better work could be done. Burns questioned Murphy’s right to order him, and even his right to con- vey any order from Connolly. Hot words ensued, then blows followed. Mur- phy struck Burnes over the eye, inflicting a nasty cut,whichwas covered with plaster ysierday. The force of the blow sent him reeling awa from the hose and almost precipitated him from the roof. Smith, one of the men holding the hose, caught Burns, who quickly re- covered himself and made a dash at Mar- by, striking him in the neck and felling im like an ox. A warrant will be is-
sued by Burns for the arrest of his assail- ant.
