When the time for mourping had passed, and the twice widower in three years attempted 'to pay court to another widow his at tentions were received coldly.

That the fields of Japan are riper for the missionary harvest than is generally thought -is clear, from this letter of 5 Canadian wissionary work- ore "The staff of Trinity, Anglicun mis sion, Naottsu, consists of the Revs. C.

The homes are principally built wood, roofed with small shingles, covered by rows of | stohes or boulders to keep the shingles from blowing away. It is a busy place, women work as herd as the men.

Walking ar- ound a circuit of seventeen miles there are two more christians.

Germany's Ruler Pelieves in Deny- ing Them. ' Berlin, July 2L Fmperor William has allowed prince Adelbert, his third son, to get up a separate establish ment in a house built for him at Kiel. The prince is now eighteen vears old and is having bis first taste of independence, so far as the erftour age bf his instructors permits. He begged his father to allow him four horses for his carriage, but the em- peror refused. sh The emperor's system of bringing up bis children is to deny them asx many ihings- as possible consistent with their position, so that they may look forward to something to maintain the zest of life at least until their edus cation is finished. Emperor William's own youth was regulated on that principle. He is credited with saying that the most melanchaly sight on earth to him. is a prince for whom life is exhausted. -------- SOOT AND CANCER. Medical Oircles Considering In- crease of Disease.

SHOW IT ALL CANE ABOUT BAND OF FORGERS BETRAYED BY CUPID. Love Letters Lead to the Arvest of Man Said to be the Chief of a Notorious Crowd -- A Lively Story. Chicago, July 2l--Love letters found by detective sergeants Thomp son and Gallagher, of the central sta tion, led to the arrest in Genoa, Neb, of Harry Brown, alias Alvah Giles, said to be the leader of a notorious gang of forgers, whom the folic are inclined to believe they will be able to connect with . the big post office robbery in Chicago last fall, when stamps valued at more than $75,000 were taken. Brown was arrested by sherifi Rich ards upon the receipt of a telegram sent by Jieut. Rohan and is now held, awaiting the arrival of detective Gallagher, who left last night tw bring the prisoner back to Chicago. In his possession when arrested Brown ia said to have had two trunks con- taining a large quantity of stamps in original packages, and it is owing to this information that the police are pow working on the theory that they may be able to connect Brown with the robbery. Brown is wanted in Chicago on many charges of forgery and he is said to be the leader of the bam which obtained several thousand dol- lars recently from the Corn Exchange National bank by means of forged cheques. Three other members of the gang were arrested last Tuesday and a short time before Brown was taken into custody. Detectives Thompson and Gallagher arrested Liszie Tennise, alias Myrtle Brown, in Milwaukee. Miss Tennise is said to be Brown's sweetheart, and it was through the finding of letters in her trunk which were written hy Brown that the whereabouts of the latter became known to. the police. Miss Tennise was brought to Chicago by the de tectives and closely questioned, She admitted that Brown was in Genoa, Neb., and immediately a telegram was sent to sherifi Richards requesting that he be arrested. He was taken into custody late the afternoon and -Liewt. Rohan was notified of the confiscation of the trunks containing the postage stamps. -------- MAJOR BLISS WRITES. t---- Giving Some Interesting Informa- tion From South Africa. Ottawa, July -21.--A private letter from Maj. Bliss, to the deputy minis ter of militia, contains some very in teresting information. One is an order issued by the quartermaster-general of the field force, authorizing a treat to the Tommies, which, cost 385,000. The order was originally issued by the commander-in-chief, lord Kitchener, and read "With reference to of this morning announcing peace, every man in your command will be allowed to draw at the field force can teen anything they like, to the value of eighteen pence per man of the im perial forces. When canteens cannot supply arrangements will he mace as soon as possible to supply deficiencies All G.O.C.'s and column commanders will publish at once in their orders." The same letter contains a farewell order from Gen. Ian Hamilton to the 2nd C.M.R., under Col. Evans, which reads as follows : "I am ordered to revert to my past a8 chief of staff at headquarters and must, therefore, bid vou and your gal lant troops farewell. Please convey to them my hearty good wishes and congratulations from me for having played so distinguished and leading part in the closing scenes of the South African war, whereby | am convinced vou have contributed in a very special degree to the termina tion of hostilities." In connection with this it may be notea that Gen. Hamilton eommanded the column in which the first Cana dian contingent fought from Bloem fontein "to Pretoria, and his farewell to that regiment contained very much the same expression of feeling.

Patterson, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church, Alleghan¥sy was before the executive board of the Alleghany Baptist general association to explain why he baptized and administered communion to two negroes recently hanged for murder in the Alleghany county jail.

He begged the board to be lenient with him, be- cause what he had done was for the purpose of spreading the gospel.

He said we believed that, with the cessation of the war in South Afvica, a new ora of friendly relations between Great Britain and the continental powers had set in and would continue. The views expressed on the contin ent during the war regarding the British people and 'British troops had catiserd surprise and indignation. But the controversies were now ended.
