Herr Alfred Krupp, the famous metal founder and manufacturer of eannon. died last week at his residence near Essen, Prussia. He had a world-wide reputation, and his guns are among the most destructive of the war.

Under the circumstances, this fact is greatly to the credit of the Committee. If the Park Roadway Committee accept the Jubilee Committee, there will at once be $500 to apply to the necessary and important work of construct- ing the proposed shore roadway to Vic- toria Park. We trust that the gentlemen who refused subscriptions to tothe Jubilee Committee, on the grounds that the funds were not to be applied to the Roadway, will now ‘‘come to the front.” Surely there is enough public spirit among the well-to-do members of the community to provide means to on with a work so advantageous, and beneficial to 1 Dusiness s0 the suggestion of vo necessary. ] all.

August Carter, of the Nation- al Fish Culture Association, has lately published in Nature the results of his experiments in the South Kensington Aqu- arium to determine the effect of tempera- ture upon fish. At appears that dogfish, mullet, flounder, bass, cod, trout, eels, cat- fish, pike and carp are extremely hardy, and can exist in water of a temperature varying from 24 degrees to 71 degrees Fah- renheit. On the contrary, sole, bullhead, perch, minnow, chub, wrasse, roach and bream are extremely sensitive to extremes of temperature, most of these not thriving in water colder than 45 degrees or warmer than 65 degrees. These data refer to fish kept in confine- ment. But they throw light also on the question of the tresh water and ocean tem- peratures in which they may be expected to flourish. They alse serve to explain the mortality among fish observed/in some parts of the sea during great thermal changes in proximity to warm and glacial marine currents. Gbituary. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. Jerome Gaudet, Teacher, which took place at tustico on the l4th inst. Only a short time ago the deceased was apparently in the best of health and spirits. The first symptoms of his illness appeared in the form of an ulcer on the cheek, which was attributed to irritation caused by a partially decayed tooth. The ulcer soon became more malignant, and on his applying to a medical man it was pronounced to be cancer of a malignant type. An _ opera- tion was performed at the Charlottetown Hos- pital soon after, but the disease developed rapidly, and for the last month or so his suffer- ings were very great, until at last death came te his relief. He leaves a widow and four children, besides many friends, to mourn their loss. Though comparatively quite a young man, he taught school for some time back, and was engaged at Rollo Bay School when taken ill. He possessed musical talents f no mean order, excelling especially in red music. The choirs at Souris and Rollo large st eel the } | very fortunate.

MeGrecor, a tailor, was arrested in Moneton on Thursday for re- fusing to support his wife and child who had arrived from Newfoundland a day or two previous. The case, wiich excited considerable interest, came up for trial on Thursday evening. The evidence’ of Bridget McGregor, the plaintiff, which we | clip trom the 7'imes, explains the situation. | She said :— “ % have known the accused for about years and five months in St. John’s, Newfound land.

Hop- ing this will tind you all enjoying the best of health Your loving husband, WILLIAM DEUCHAR MCGREGOR, Fraser, Rocklin House, Ch'town, of Dec. 4th was the last letter I received. | was informed by letter from Charlottetown in April last that he was in Moncton, and wrote to Mr. Cole, his employer, who contirmed the information. ,1 deter- mined to come on, and arrived here on Tues- day, July 19th. I called at Mr. Cole’s, where he was employed, and asked to see him. He came to the window and afterwards came out to the carriage where I sat. The first words he said were, ‘‘It is no use.” I asked him what he meant. He said I knew well enough; that the baby I held in my arms was not his. He then started and walked down to the police station. I instructed the driver to fol- low him. At the police office door I wanted him to explain what he meant. He would not listen tome, but walked off. I did not see him again till the following evening in the police court room. [Thad some conversation then with him, when he told me he would not support me, He gave as & reason that some person had told him that the child I had in my arms was not his. We were married by Father Tierny, first, June 6th, 1885. There had been no trouble of any consequence be- tween us except once when he struck me. He never accased me of any unfaithfulness. When he alleges that he found a young man locked in the house with me, itis false. I think I wrote three letters to McGregor in The letter Charlottetown. I did not think there was anything wrong, as [ had no reason. I got no letters from him beside the two read in court.” The prisoner’s counsel objected to the in- formation as insufficient, and when this was overruled, suggested a settlement, to which the accused would not, however, agree. The prisoner then pleaded not guilty, and was committed to jail for trial at the next session of the Westmorland County Court. Mrs. McGregor is a comely looking young woman, quite well dressed. Her child is about a year and four months old. She is without means. McGregor has been working for Mr. Cole about 6 months. He was a steady hand. It is said he was form- erly a soldier. When arrested he had on his person a rather dangerous looking re- volver, which was taken cliarge of hy the Marshal. <> te Mrs. T. Charles Watson at the Lyceum. THe sale of tickets for Mrs. T. Charles Watson's entertainment at the Lyceum Thea- tre, on Monday evening, the 25th, is already unusually large. All to-day#preparations for decorating the stage have been going on, and we hear it will bezarranged with an artistic effect and beauty never before seen in Char- lottetown. On Monday Mrs. Watson's pro- gramme will be officially published. It com- prises a rare treat: Dickens, Mark Twain, Shakespeare, the great authors of the past and present. Mrs. Watson is the only profes- sional who reads throughout Canada sade the patronage of their Excellencies the Gover- nor General and Lady Lansdowne. We may look forward to an exceptional evening of pleasure on Monday. Wherever Mrs. Wat- son reads she is supported by the fashion and elite of society, but she does not please these alone, her recitals are for all. In rough American dialect she tells home stories’ of home lives. In purest English, Shakespeare made easy by her art to the com- prehension and apppreciation of young and old. In broad Scotch she will have a “‘ crack ”’ with our canniest ‘‘ Sandies,” and will fill our hearts with tenderness or our lips wit laughter at her will—the will of (as the Toronto Mail says) a true _ femi- nine artiste—who can move to __ tears and again to laughter. An actress carries through one evening a certain role, she is a shnepetonias or comedienne, her audience ex- pect from her one character, one conception ; but of a reader like Mrs. Watson her hearers expect ‘‘merriment, pathos, broad humor, tragedy even, and when one woman can at will fulfill all these requirements, command our laughter or our tears, she must be, as the Herald says, ‘touched with the sacred fire of genius.’” Henry Ward Beecher says of Mrs. Watson: ‘‘I retain a keen and lively remem- brance of the occasion on which I heard Mrs. Watson read in Brooklyn. To an eminent attractiveness of person she adds graceful manners, a fine voice and well cultivated con- ceptions of character, whether in the humor- ous or pathetic. I cordially wish her great and continued success,” Mrs. Watson's cos- tumes for this season are said to be gorgeous. She is one of the best dressed women on the American platform. ~— ab - <> ~~ say churches improved much under his tuition.
