One of the most interesting rooms is that where Nicholas I died. It is in the upper story of the northeast corner of the building and is approached by four doors and finally by a narrow passage. [t is a small room, only about 18 feet long and 12 feet wide, with two small windows, and is the place where the emperor spent riost of histime when not officially employed. It is the room in which he died, some say by poison -administered by himself in a fit of mel- ancholy induced by the outcome of the Crimean war. The room remains just as he left it. Near the center is a plain irom bedstead. fome chairs and a few cheap picturea adorn the room, and a dilapidated, down at the heel pair of slippers complete the furnishings of the attic room in the palace. ure a Coid in One Day "Take Laxative: Bromo Quinine Tablets All Gruggistsg refuna the money ific fails to eure, 3c. THE DAILY BXAMINER OCTOBER 13, 1898. PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE —— Ar London, @ntario, before the elec- tion, Sir Wilfrid Laurier said : “If we come into power we will follow that although we may not be able to bring back the expenditures to what they were, under him, we can reduce the amount two, yes, three million dollars per year.” Compare this promise with the increase ed expenditures of the last two years. In 1896-97 the Liberale spent over thirty-eight millions consolidat- ed fund—nearly a million an! a half more than the Conserva tives did during the preceding year—and on more than three millions and a half addi- tional on capital account. In 1897-98 they spent on consolidated fund thirty- eight and a half millions and on capital account sume which brought the total ex~ penditure up to the amount of forty four millions. In the present year, 1898 99 the estimates are all but $45,000,000, while the supplementary estimates remain to be passed at the next session of the Legislature. If Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s promise had been fulfilled, the yearly expenditure of the Government would be about $35,000,000! .--_-= --— NOTES AND COMMENTS. —It has lately heen remarked that the comparative juvenility of the American nation is attested by the fact that the Acadian Recorder—a journal publisbed in Halifax, continuously during the last 86 years—has recorded the beginning and end of all the wars in the United States since it became a nation. —The Moncton Times gives the fol- lowing list of “private” cars now in use by our distinguished rvlers. The Ottawa—Mr. Blair’s car. The Cumberland —Mr. Tarte’s car. The Montreal—Mr. Fiel4ing’s car. The Earnecliffe. The Victoria. Gereral Manager’s car (34), Pay master’s car (35). Is it possible that Sir Lonis Davies is stiil without his “private car?” —The Summerside Jourval comments upon the prospects of an election in East Prince and saye: “If the Conservatives of East Prince go to work in earnest, without delay, and put astrong man in the field, thev shoulu certa'nly be able to redeem the Riding, in which if we are to judge from very positive expressions of opinion to be heard on every side, the Laurier Government is becoming unpopular. A Conservative convention should be arranged for at an early date, aud everything should be in readiness for immediate action, as the writ forthe bye-~ elections are liable to be issued any day now. — The mail accounts of the fighting at Omdurman fully corrobate the telegraph- ed reports as to the arduous nature of the work the Anglo-Egyptian troops were called on todo, andthe fierce courage of the dervish hosts. The fight was one be- tween 22,000 and 45,000, but the emailer number had the best arms, and against the trained fireof Maxim and magazine rifles the moet devouted courage only added to the death list. The fearful! terrible proof war has yet givenof the destructive power of present day military armament, when handled by ekilled and courageous meu. The dervish forces were directed with considerable military skill aleo. They forced British cavalry and camel corps to retreat, and compelled an artillery batieryto abandon some of its guns, The story of the battle, a+ forcibly told by Mr. Villiers, in his letter publish- ed by the Montreal Gazette, is grimly interesting as well as instructive.

Bring Sickness, But Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets Counteract Their Evil Effects and Bring Health, Strength and Vigor to the Exbausted Body. — These October days, that see the mel- ancholy preparations of Nature for the storms of winter, bring many pains to mankind. The human system seems to be in sym- pa:hy with nature, and, when the skies are dark, lowering and gloomy, when the air is raw. chill and damp, when the trees are bare, chill and forlorn looking, when the chilly winds whistle mournfully throvgh the branches, and the air is filled with dead leaves, bumanity grows sad and Op- pressed.
