Bruce Carruthers, Kingston, whose gallant stand during the en agement at Hart's River, was um ein acclaimed wher bravery is ap preciates, i€ now numbered among the few who, while stilt in life, have mov- ed others to elegaic eloquence. According to The King, av English Hlustratec weekly, poor Brace Uarrn thers i¢ dead as the proverbial door nail, and the stirring account of his beroie end would move even sthe most case-hardened to wvmpathetic tears, All of which would be infinitely pa thetie were it not for the fact that the bemonrned soldier is a yery, lively corpse and that the papers have Jet annownced where he intends to spend his summer « vacation--enjoving the beauties of 4 Canadian landscape. Lieut. Carruthers' outlook will not It is always a welconied dish ' meal. thus be so circumscribed ag the writer in The King wonla have us believe. Put list to the appended rhapsodie : "Young Bruce Carruthers, the Ca nadian, refused to surrender, and died. It was on May lst, at Brak i Bpruit--and peace so near | The bare f annovncement qaickens the pulse, and ¥ there is not a philosopher among ns but envies the magnificent death. Hemmed in, with his little party of twenty, he scornfully vefused the { Boers' invitation to lay down his ' arms; he fought to the last, ana died One's imagination plays around the gallant boy, who had but to make a sign, lift bis hand. and life was his- life, and the sunshine, love and poet: ry, the roar of the streets, the good hours at home. On the other side death--the black, the unfathomable. (But 'he npever wavered. Did no thought flash across him, in that last moment, of all that he was renounc ing ? Did no regret mingle with his | fierce, manly pride? Manv brave | deeds have been done on both sides; {but in the special hall of Enecland's heroes there should be a niche for Bruce Carruthers, the Canadian." Sold Land Cheaply. At noon to-day J. H. Mills, gue- tioneer, sold two parcels of real es tate. A vacant lot on the corner of Johnston ana Toronto streets, 235x130 feet, was bought by W. J. Wells for £30.

Two Schemes Favored By The Colonial Premiers--Geood Ser- vice Between Australasia And Canada. . London, July 12.-~The acquisition of the Cunard line hy the Morgan combination can neither be confirmed nor denied with authority. The reviv- al of rumors is 5 natural consequence of talk among the golonial premiers on the subject of steamship subsidy. They are uawilling to discuss any plan or policy which includes subsi- dies for any line running between Bri tish and American ports, and are leaving the Cunard line managers and shareholders to work owt their own salvation without help from any por- tion of the empire. Two subsidy schemes are favored by the official representatives of Aus tralia, New Zealand and Canada. One is a fast mail service between Eng. land and Australia via Nova Scotia, the Canadian Pacific, Vancouver, Fiji Brisbane with Sydney as a terminal point. The other is a fast freight ser- vice between Montreal, Cape Town, Auckland, and Sydney. There is, how- ever, a general understanding among the colonial representatives that the imperial conference will not act upon a general scheme before the co-opera- tion of the British government is de- finitely pledged, It is also reported that a colonial agreement hhs virtually been reached and will be reduced to definite form when Sir Edmund Barton and Sir R. J. Seddon pass through Ottawa in returning to Australasia. The proportions for mail subsidies of the first route are set down as four- twelfth for the united kingdom, five- tweliths for Canada, two-twelfths for Australia and one-twelfth for New Zealand... Two fast lines of steam- ships will be required, and the Atlan- tic and Pacific mail service from Lon don to Sydney is worked down to twenty-six days. The other subsidy scheme would involve the co-operation of the united kisgdom, Cagada, Aus- tralia, New Zealand, Cape Colony and Natal, and would involve the con- struction of large cargo steamers, which would be converted into troop- ships in time of war. ------ PLACES THAT HUSTLE. The Kind Of Work Kingston Does Not Do. Montreal merchants and manufac- turers have, under auspices of the board of trade, formed a business men's league, to advertise the city, to bring people to it, to encourage cour tesy to strangers ana lo exploit na- tichal characteristies and historical associations. An information bureau is sustained. Three hundred merchants pay a fee of 85 a year to cover ex penses. The league has issued an ele: pant souvenif pamphlet, giving views of city buildings and institutions and much interesting reading, Detroit's business men's bureau has been the means of bringing there year Iv a hundred or more great conven tions, but then Detroit has hotel se commodations that please the people and not fill them with discontent. The board of trade of Fort Worth, Texas, two pages in the North American Review to describe that city's public buildings, improvements, government, climate, transportation facilities, industries, and advantages to capitalists and citizens. The ad. contains a great deal of vital infor mation, and i& a good bit of munici pal advertising. A convention 41 supervisors wag re cently held at Woodland, California, to consider the levying of a tax of two cents upon the hundred dollars for advertising the Sacramento valley as a whole. The laws of the state permit such taxation, but appropria- tions heretofore raised have been wasted ih spasmodic advertising, Thirteen counties now propose (oo combine. sinking their individual in terests in a larger enterprise. ad Cyeling's Silver Jubilee. New York, July '12.-Tt was just twenty-five vears ago that the first bicycles were manufactured inl Ameri- ea, and in celebration of the silver jubilee 'cycle enthusiasts, manufactur ers aml others interested in wheeling held a mammoth 'cycle parade in New York to-day. It was the largest aflair of its kind ever seen in th metropolis. Scores of clubs and hundreds of indi vidua! wheelmen were in line and manufacturers and dealers were repre sented hy elaborate and varied dis plays. The route was from Washing ton square up Fifth avenue to T10t street, and the line took several hours in'passing a given point. Col. Albert A. Pope, i Tather of the 'cycling in- dustry, was grang marshal, and his =tafi. was made up of fovmer progi- dents of the L.A.W. and other 'cycling veterans. Have A Surplus Again.

Ottawa, Ont., July 10.-Particalars were received today from the colon ial secretaty of the regrettable death of Capt. A. FE. Rastrick, of the Southern Nigerian regiment, of the West African frontier force. Capt. Rastrick was formerly an officer in the 37th Haldimand rifles. His moth- er resides at Hamilton. He went to West Afriea in 1900, and from the tenor of Mr. Chamberlain's despatch was highly esteemed by his brother of- ficers for gallant and effective work. In a little over a year he was in action Ho fewer than seven times. Farly in Juve Capt. Rastrick arrived in England on six months' leave, and shortly - after landing took sick in London. It was thought at first he was suffering from west coast fever, but three doctors diagnosed the case as hydrophohia of a pronounced type, and on June llth the poor fellow passed away in great agony. He was mterred in the Richmond cemetery on June 18th with military honors. The despatch savs that previous to his death the gallant young Cauadian mentioned to a brother officer that he had been bitten by a mad dog. Mr. Chamberlain asks that the sincere con- dolences of his majestv's government he conveys 1 to the relatives of the deceased. JOKED THE SERVANT. An Ottawa Man Who Thought He Had a Knighthood. Ottawa, July 12.--An amusing end to a practical joke has arisen in a ru- mor that a certain prominent civil servant had received the honor of knighthood. It appeals that a high official being in joenlar mood address ed a letter to this gentleman in ques tion with the prefix "Sir" and the letters "'K.T." after the name, The letter so addressed passed through a number of hands, and the address ex- cited much attention, especially as the direction was in the handwriting of thé official to whom would have fallen the duty of imparting the information that such an honor had been cenfer- red. Enquiry, however, is met with the explanation that it was a little joke. NEW FORTIFICATIONS Will Be Added To Those Now At Halifax. Halifax, N.8., July 12.--The Amili- tary authorities have decided to add to the fortifications of Halifax. The fortress has been undergoing recon: struction for the past year the work, including the erection of a new fort near Herring Cove and south of York Redoubt. Another new fortification is to be constructed; it will be at Devil's Island, on the east side of the en trance to the harbor and will cost a great sum of woney, the first year's estimate alone amounting to £250. 000. It 1s also stated that another fort will he constructed on the west- ern shore of Sambro Island. With the new fort at Devil's Island, and the one on Sambro Island, Halifax will be practically impregnable. DERIDED THE KAISER What .Was Published In The Police Gazette. Vienna, July 12.--The readers of the official Police Gazette, of Prague, were astonished, yesterday, when they read in the paper this formal an nouncement : 3 "Kaiser Wilhelm II, residing in Potsdam, recently escaped from chan cellor Von Buelow's lunatic asylum, and was Jast seen at Marienburg, where he suffered patoxysms of talka tiveness. If seen, his arrest should be promptly effected." It is certain that if the perpetrator is discovered he will be severely pun ished. Tt was at Marienburg that the kaiser made a vehement speech de- nouncing [lish arrogance. ---------- THE SUMMER SIGHT. A Sea Serpert Seen Of Cape Breton.
