The obxioim cauto of the calamity which Occur F0>J shortly before ten o'clock, WHH tlm weakening of the, walls by -xi ..'iiMxc interior alterations, in- vil\ ing tin- removal of a brick parti- tion separating what fortncrJy were two stores. During the whole day upwards of 100 people worked in the ruins, first iv^-uing the living, and Later ro- iiio\iiig the bodies of the dead, liven after the last body, that of JUifs Dorothy 'Sissou, had been un- coverod at about 3.^0 in the after- IIM..JI the working party did not cease, for it was feare>d thai there might be others. ' By eight o'clock in the evening it was lear-ifd that everal whom it was feared l>-ul rvi killed were -afi-. and only tti'Mi 'ki work oe**e. All those who were killed were working either >M tl.e first story or the third, the ruof of which was open to the sky. Over and over again marvel lias been or- pronged that with upward of 00 people in the store, including cus- tomers ami employee-*, the list of dead and injured was nut much longer than it in. Perhaps the 8adde.it of the many R*d features of the da' are ths cases of Miss Dorot-'iy Kihson and Miss Lily Boddimn, w:o .vore em- ployed in the readv mado ijruss got.ds dej>artnM'nt on tho first story According to Miss Ola Mulligan, OMhior, who miraculously escaped aJmoHt uninjured, Miss Sissou had ^tarted to go d.<w:i itaiis.

Police Const-able Patterson was standing on the corner of CJeorge and Simooe streets opposite the fat/ed building when lie saw the brick wall bulge out at tho first t-tory. Then it fell, covering Siin- coe street to the further sidewalk with debris, Immediately the con- stable turned in tho fire alarm. The firemen and the remainder of the police force, including Chief Tliomp- son, were on the scene in a few minutes. Their first thought was to get out anyone who might be alive. The dead oould wait till lat- er. Some could be seen with heads or other parts of their bodies pro- jecting. Miss Mulligan was among the first to be rescued. Soon the crowd which quickly gathered, all eager to do what they could, threatened to interfere with the work, aud had to be held hack. It was here that many of the saddest ecenes oocured. People who knew not whether frionds or near rela- tives were dead or alive, struggled frantically to get into the ruins. Cries and moans went up as bodies were removed and recognize*!. Again, there were joyous meetings between friends and those merci- fully preserved. Dead. Miss Dorothy Verena Sis- son, age 26, of 287 Park street, Petorboro, saleslady in the store. MisK Lily A.

A despatch from Washington na>: President Wilson proclaimed tii iif vi policy of noli -interference in the Mexican situation before a joint nec*ion of the two Houses of ( ongress on Wednesday afternoon. Tin- delivery of the address follow- ed Prwfidcnt WilfOo'l decision no longer to wait upon Huerta'* pol- icy of procrastination and delay. The President, after frankly ac- knowledging failure of tho Lind mission, outlined the new policy of the I'nited Htate* Inwards Mexico, nanioly non-interfure.iice. President Wilson proposes to; let 191.V J. ' Orew, charge d'affaires destiny. He entertains the strong hope that eventually the pride o! Hnerta will bo broken, and that all factions will rali/.e tlu; neces- sity of yielding to Uu3 American mediation demands. The President doe* not consider tliis new policy of non-interference BS closing the door for future AniericAn efforts towards a peace- ful solution of tho present difficulty. In fact, li expressed the firm be lief that not many days will elapse "heforc we fthall triumph as the friend of Mxie-o." It id likely that the United State* will have tho co-operation of tho powers of the world in the em- bargo on shipments of arms and ammunition into Mexico. Intim- ations wc-re thrown out by Senator BHCOII, chairman of the Foreign Kc- IRIIOHH Committee, that <mdh a course would be the logical one for other Governments to follow. Pre- sident, Wilson has made it known that the United Slates lias had the moral support of several of the great powers in tho mediation ne- gotiations and il is the general be- lief now that the,e Governments will 1< ii.l a, helping hand to tho United StatM in cutting off mili- tary itupplies from Mexico.

Many people exist in a more or less hazy condition and it often takes years before they reali/.o tliat tea and coffee are often the cause of tho cloudin<vis, and that there is a simple way to let tho light break in. A worthy farmer had such an ex- perience and tells about it iu a let- ter. He says "For about forty years I have had indigestion and stomach trou- ble in various forms. During the last 26 years 1 would not more than get over one spell of bilious colic until another would be upon me. "The best doctors I could get and all the medicines I could buy only gave mo temporary relief. "Change of climate was tried witliout results. I could not sleep nights, had rheumatism and my heart would palpitnto at times so that it seemed it would jump out, of iny body. "I came to the conclusion that there was no relief for me and that I was about wound up, when I saw a Postum advertisement. I had al- ways been a coffee drinker, and got an idea from the ad. that maybe coffee was th cause of my trou- ble." Tea is just as harmful, be- causn it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee. "I began to use Postum instead of coffep, and in less than three weeks I felt like a new man. The rheumatism left me, and I have never had a spoil of bilious colic lince. "My appe.tite i*> good, my diges- tion never was better, and I can do in. ii , work than before for 40 years." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Out. Write for copy of Ihe little book, "The Road to Wellville." Postum come.s in two forms: Kegular I'oMlumiuust be well boiled. IiiHtnnt I'ostum is a soluble pow- der. A teasjxmnful dissolves quick- ly in a cup of hot water and, with the addition of cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage iiiHtant- ly.

A dispa.tch from New York says, the Imperator, the biggest liner in the world, was damaged by fire at her berth in Hobokon, Thursday morning. One of her crew, the second officer, Hermann Qobrecht, lost his life. Tho 1,500 steerage passengers not twwisferred whom the ship arrived Wednesday night were taken ashore in safety and housed on the pier, while fire on- gines and boats pumped water in the veseol. Tho origin of the fire has not beon determined. One theory is that defective insulation wa.s the cause, another laid the blame on a lighted cigarette. It 1 was necessary to flood that part of the ship in which the flames raged, i and she took a heavy list to star- j board. The damage was confined alnuiat emtirely to the provision de- 1 partment. An independent esti- mate placed the damage at $50,000. the damage at $50,000. COMMENT ON EVENTS The Kn!ser as a Teetotaler. Little speeches on the value of temper- ance which the German emperor haw made to soldier* and students hare prepared the world for the announcement that he has quietly joined the total abxtainere. but he permife the U8u:il wire*) to be served at his r.'ii 1 .- to gueKt and friendn. Theee may follow hlx example if they like, but they ar left free to act on their own no- tions in the premiueu. It srarrely needs remarking that they will keep well with- in the limit. The kaiser is not likely to become an aggressive champion of total abstinence, but it is certain that the immoderate drinking which he condemn*) as a curve to pronress and efficiency will be further chocked by hie precept and practice. The world is growing temperate; science, in- duetry. popular education are severally working for moderation In the nse of al- cohol. Tho kaiser, o alert aud progres- sive in many things. Is co-operating with tho tipirit of the age as regards temper- ance. The Boy Problem. The World's Work has been describing what has been done for the boy by the Scouts, the Y.M.C.A.. the Salvation Army and other bodies. Alwaye in school and elsewhere where boye congregate, we are told, there are gangs. Usually these ganst* are a nuiance; very often they are a seri one menace to the morale of the gang members and to the peace of the neigh- borhood. For usually the energy of the gangs is directed against law and .order. But a new tine i* coming, for BO many people In the schools, in the Boy Scout*, and in many other activities have grasp- ed the fundamental fact that if these gang activities are guided most wonderful re- sults can be achieved results that will leave these boys far better able to handle themselves honestly and effectively in the world than were their predece6on>. Same All Over. The financial situation in Western Can- ada has never been any more acute than in the older countries of the world, accord- Ing to an opinion expressed in Winnipeg recently by H. V. Mfcredith. vice-president and general manager of the Bank of Montreal. Mr. Meredith ie making a tour of Inspection of Western Canada, accom- panied by Mr. L. Meredith, of Loudon, Out. "There ha been no greater stringency here," M>. Meredith said, "than there hae been In Berlin. Vienna and London. It is a world-wide condition. At all tlmee there have been opells when money has been tight, and there Ir. no particular signi- ficance iu this one." Aerial Mall. If any practical utility Is found for the aeroplane In times of peace. It 1 likely to in. in the delivery of mail, and some- what suggestive of possibilities in this direction was the flight made in France a few days ago by Quillaux. It was not a great flight in comparison with the sen- sational achievements of Marcel Brlnde- jone dec Moulenais. who has done 887 miles. Guillaux flew but 280. But he car- ried with him the Paris papers and drop- ped them at 9 15 a.m. in Bordeaux, where they do not otherwise arrive till 5 p.m. A difference of 73-4 hours in newspaper ser- vice IN important, and if a fair degree of reliability should be attained a certain limited use could no doubt be found for the flying machine in carrying the mails to territory more or less inaccessible. The o rrymg power of the aeroplane is slight. and there would be a premium on com- pact journalism, but (peed in the air costs singularly little, and by dropping bundles at denignated places the nn*d for stops could be avoided. But the occasion for aerial service would be mainly in re- gions now accessible only by a low and roundabout route. A Loaferleu Land. Most nations are so self-satmned that they pay little heed to customs of other peoples. Almost every nation ie giving h.i-,1 to sociological questions, especially as they concern the poor and unemploy- ed. It would seem, according to Harper's Weekly, that Hwitierland has solved one problem In a manner worthy of imita- tion. It Is rather difficult in Switzerland to try to live without working In that commonwealth the people proceed upon tho theory that a man who is unemployed Is. if left to himself, liable to become a wast by being a charge and a tax upon the community. The Swiss, therefore, con- sider the problem as an economic ques- tion to be solved by the state. The pur- pose is to assist the unfortunate unem- ployed to secure work not only for the sake of his family, but In the interests of the commonwealth. There is no toleration of the loafer. Begging In prohibited by the law. and vagrancy Is classified almost as a crime. Should an unemployed person not make serious effort to obtain work, the authori- ties proceed to find It for him, and when they do he Is compelled t- perform it. If he refuse* to work he Is placed In the workhouse, where strict discipline is maintained, and every inmate required to work to his full capacity, receiving- there- for his board and lodging atid from 5 to 10 cents a day in wages There are in Switzerland institutions where temporary employment may be had by persons out of work, through no fault of their own. They receive comfortable accommodation and Home money compensation until they can find more remunerative wages. Only Two Impeached. The impeachmeiit of Governor Hulier of New York brings out the fact that iu the whole history of the republic only two executives have been impeached aud re- moved, one the governor of North Caro- lina In 1870. and the other the governor of Nebraska In 1871. Five other govern- ors faced Impeachment charges, but the charges were not sustained. Never before In the history of Now York State has a governor been impeached. The nearest ap- proach to It centred about Oeorge Clinton, the state's nrst chief executive, in 1791. An associate of the governor was convicted of irregularities in land speculation and sent to jail. This smirched Clinton's nauio for a time, but he was never tried, and subsequently he lived it down and served bii state thereafter for years. Kitchener s Egypt. Egypt * to have a parliament, and flir Kdward Grey has given It hie blessing and says it will increase tho liberties of the Egyptian people. It is intended to com- bine the Legislative Council and the (leu- cral Assembly into one Legislative As- sembly, consisting of the ministers and sixty-six elected and seventeen nominated members. The latter will comprise the president, the vice-president, four Copts, three Arab Bedouins, two merchants, two MOST PERFECT MADE THE INCREASED NUTRITI- OUS VALUE OF BREAD MADE IN THE HOME WITH ROYAL YEAST CAKES SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT INCENTIVE TO THE CAREFUL HOUSEWIFE TO GIVE THIS IMPORTANT FOOD ITEM THE ATTENTION TO WHICH IT 18 JUSTLY EN- TITLED.

The Legislative Assembly will initial* legislation, save where it con- cerns constitutional laws. The preamble of the Khedival decree states that it in desired to endow the country with an enlightened system of joveniuient, ensuring good administra- tion, protection of individual liberty, and the development of progress and civilisa- tion. Egypt ie thus certainly moving up- ward, and more than one trouble which some years ago looked menacing seems susceptible to-day of a healthy solution. It is to be hoped that the change* now an- nounced will prove a real milestone in the people's march towards a fuller and freer expression of their natural goniua. It ie marvellous to think that when Lord Kitchener went to Egypt his appointment was considered an answer to the Young Egyptian party's querulous cry. "Egypt for the Egyptians." and lo! here by th grace of a stern maintenance of order and a strict justice ia already emerging a representative government. Tb world to-day ha* great need of such meu as Kiv cheuor ol Khartoum. CIGARETTE STARTS FIRE. r.in> Hum And ThntHhing Outfit Destroyed.
