Tue fateof the great interest and importance to the people of this Province. This matter is ably dis- cussed by Mr. ber of Lippincott’s. Mr. McKee, as might not supposed) is a great loverof the horse; horse is a matter of Mckee in the March num Mr. McKee (not our unnaturally be sud yethe fears that—like the man of the carrier and intelligent friend—the horse will ere whom he has heretofore been leng have to give way before the advance e e « of invented machines. “In the cities,’ Mr. McKee says, “we are promised as sweeping a change in methods of haulage as the street railways experienced when the electric and cable cars supplanted the horse-cars and caused us to wonder why we had waited so long for so easy and sat. isfactory a means of covering long dis- tances. We have motor-driven delivery wagons, vans, drays,and express wagons. 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. First, he says, France has recently demonstrated that the motor vehicle is capable of mak- Extravagant as may seem ing long journeys at a high rate of speed and ait small expense. In a race recently back, a twenty-six rur froin Paris to Bordeaux and distance of seven hundred and miles, there were seventeen starters, of five steam Contrary to expecta- which eleven used petroleum, and one electricity. tion the three vehicles first to com plete the distance were all propelled by petro- jeum. One of these covered the distance te Bordeaux in twenty-two hours and thirty-four minutes, and the return trip to Paris in twenty-six hours and fifty-three minutes, or at the rate of about fifteen mijes an hour! Az a result of the advance of the motor and the popularity of the bicycle, the horse is sold more cheaply than ever before. The western business of raising horses has been ruined, the animals actually running wild in killed to and the prairies and being furnish “ canned beef” for Germans French. Already it is apparent the horee has in some measure been superseded by science. “The horse, says Mr. McKee, “ is in instances withou; number the victim of the old conflict be- tween animated flesh and blood and the io power of the As man has seen his proudest reduplicated and again by an upright mass of like his master,” animate and ever versatile machine. handiwork duplicated and again irou and steel, making the labor of an in dividua] seem ridiculous by comparison, so the horse, the noblest of inan’s animal friends, his most loyal ally and co-worker among the speechless races, seems de:- tined to godown before the irresistible Nevertheless apparent that a few men will always be march of invention.” it is needed to carry on the world’s business: and so we may hope, too, that a place will be found for a few horses. Let it be ou, eare to produce the strongest and swiftest, the most enduring and most beautiful,—so that we may always be sure of being able to sell an occa sional une at a fair price.

Such deceitful tactics as those of Mr. Laurier’s party are calcul- ated to excite the distrust of the Catholics and the contempt of the Protestants, ere NOTES AND COMMENTS. —Referriag to Hon.

A. Massey, and tell of the esteem in which he was held by the citizens and by his work people, and of the generous gifts he made to educational and public institutions. The total of these is half a million dollars. When Mr. Massey was alive he was referred to by one section of the same papers as a ring-ter, a combinester, a tariff baron and a robber. It was Mr. Maseey’s misfortune to have invested his money in @ Canadian manu- facturing enterprise. —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. ——————_—_—_—_ Bargains in all kinds of boots to clear ani make room for new spring stock at J.

Late advices from Constantinople say that 3000 Armentans have been massacred at Arabkir and that the widows and or- phans of those killed are in terrible dis tress from cold and hunger. The steamer Montevideo arrived at Havana from Spain on Thursday bringing 2118 troops to re-inforce the army. 3000 troops who recently arrived started for Santa Clara on the same day. The time allowed by the British gov- ernment for Venezuela to comply with its demands for the payment of a small in- demnity for the arrest of British Inspector Barnes expired at midnight on Thureday. Advices from Washington state that the House Committee on Foreign Affairs has declared in favor of giving the Cubans the rights of belligerents and to use influences to stop the war, if necessary, by interven- tion. Quinine is so dear in Italy, and so often adulterated, that a proposition is made that the Government sell it, as they new do to- bacco and salt, thus securing a pure and eflicient article at reasonable and uniform rates.

It is understood that one of the ser- geants of the Halifax police force will be superannuated on the Ist May. Officer Patrick McCarey, formerly of Charlotte- town, will be one of four applicants for the position. Mr. McCarey has been on the force for 134 years. Mr. Gladstone has written a letter tothe Figaroof Paris in which he emphasizes the advantage of cordial relations between France and England, and says that such a union would insure the peace of Europe. He refers to a statement made by him to that effect forty years ago, and says that he has never altered his opinion. The high court of the South African re- public has confirmed the interdictory pro- clamation issued by Pre-ident Kruger re- garding the mining shares and other property held in the Rand by persons ar- rested at Johannesburg. The proclamation declares the property mentioned is forfeited in the event of the conviction of the owners thereof. John Caffrey, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., has had a warrant issued charging one of his neighbors with witchcraft. Caffrey is the possessor of some fine cows, and he alleges that about one month ago the neighbor threw a spell over the cows and bewitched them so that they gave no more milk. He has been consulting several lawyers, and intends institut ng a suit for dama ges. It has hitherto been the custom of the children atteading the public schools of Austria and Hungary to kiss the hands of the teacher on arrival and departure, This has now been forbidden by an order from the Imperial Board of Education, which bases its action on the fact that kissing is unhealthy and should not be pract:ced when absolutely unnecessary. During the course of the debate on Sifton’s resolution in the Manitoba Legis- lature, a fierce speech was delivered by Major Mulvey, the Urange member for Morris. He eaid amongst other things that he had taken up his gun four times to suppress domestic troubles and he was prepared to take it up the fifth time in the interest of the liberty of Manitoba. The world is surely coming to an end on Thureday next, March Sth, according to the firm belief of anew religious sect compoeed of negroes in Atlanta, Ga. The believers are so firm in the conviction that on that day they will be translated bodily to the new Jerusalem that some of them have been disposing of their earthly en- cumbrances by giving them to unbelieving friends. In the British House of Commons last Thursday Geo. N. Curzon, Under Secre- tary for the Foreign Office, declared that Russia had assured Great Britain that there was no truth in the report that, by the terms of a treaty concluded between Russia and China, the former had secured railway rights and commercial advantages to which “the most favored nation” clause did not apply. In the course of a recent interview, Lieutenant General Montgomery Moore, commander-in-chief of the Imperial forces in Canada said that in all probability the war scare ofa month or so ago would hey: the result of an additional number of imperial regiments being stationed in Can- ada. “The home government,” he said, “is also seriously thinking of having some of the colonial regiments made up entirely of Canadians.” A Lewiston, Maine, woman who fe!t the dangers of the cold snap, put four hot bricks in the bed last Wednesday, and then opening the sheets, introduced the perishable household provisions, such as potatoes, onions, apples, ete.

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.

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.

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.

C. Coffin, engineer of New York, arrivedin the eity on Saturday morning. They represent the Colonial Troa, Coal and Railway Company, incor- rated last year bythe New Brunswick egislature, and their mission to Halifax was to obtain information regarding the comparative advantages afforded by this city for the erection of blast furnaces. 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.
