THE DARK. ° Ignorant as to Disposition of Re- giment. Ottawa, Ang. 27.--Unofficial advives came to the militia department to- day to the. effect that the 5th Repi- ment. of Garrison Artillery will leave England for Halifax about the middle of "September, to replace the 3rd Reoi- ment Canadian Infantry. The depart- ment, however, can take no action as to the disposition of the 3rd Reui- ment until official information re- ceived. : The militia department will proba- bly have the regiment disbanded at once. The officers. and men were origi- nally enrolled for one year. At the termination - of that period the reai- ment was re-enlisted for a vear, with a provision that in case its services were not requested for the full twelve months thE regiment might be dis- banded at any time by allowing the officers and men a month's Hay. The probability is that this wi'l he done, but that most of the men will go in- to the permanent corps, the several schools of instruction being at pres- ent away below strength. ; The regiment will have been on ser- vice for about two ®d a half years, having been orcanized in March, 1900, to relieve the imperial' garrison at Halifax, for duty in South Africa. The cost to, Canada of maintaining the garrison at Halifax hag heen ab- out 8361.000 a vear. so that Canada's contribution in this way to the = ex- pense of the South African campaign will be nearly a million dollars. is IRISH AGITATTOR DEAD.

Michaels WAS FOUND BEAD IN B61, JAMES SLESSOR PASSED AWAY VERY SUDDENLY. He Was Prominent in the Dry Goods Trade--Henry Simon Has Two Charges to Face in the Police Court. Montreal, Aug. 27.--James Slessor, at- one time prominently connected with. the wholesale = dry goods trade, was found dead in bed this morning. He retired last night in his usual health. Deceased 'was sixty-eight years of age. He was connected with the firm of James Johnston &-Co., as a partner, which business some time ago passed . into the hands of the W. R. Brock .Co., of Montreal and Toronto. About a year ago, while in England in the interests of the latter firm, the deceased had a stroke of apoplexy and 'in January last, retired from the firm. Since then he regained his health and his death came as a great surprise to his many friends. Hénry Simon, who has been brought here from Hémilton by the police, to answer to charges of obtaining goods under false pretences, has another charge to face.

Such is . the Crichton Browne, declaration of Sir J. M.D., president of the Medical tion of the Interna- tional Congre for the welfare and protection of children, lately held in London. : "The conquest of "South Africa is complete," the empire is in a state of peace, the king has recovered from a dangerous illness and has been crown- ea and may. reasonably look forward to a long reign. Now, what about the many thousands of young. Britons right here in Edward's imperial city who, for lack of food, may never reach healthy and robust maturity ?"' I am quo + the sentiments of philanthropic workers in the slums, and in the factory districts. But Sir Crichton Browne's statement has a broader application. He finds that even in the rural districts the food habits of the masses are calculated to prevent boys growing up into useful material wherewith to fight and con- quer Great Britain's 'enemies inavar. "My observation leads me to be- lieve," says the distinguished medical agthority, * 'that. the masses are im- properly fed as well as underied. For example, in rural districts in Scot- land where milk was to be had in plenty it is now scarce. kt is sent off to the city to be sold. The children are fed on bread and tea and cheap jams and even oatmeal has passed into the background as ga staple article of diet. "When we turn to the townfolk we see in the anaemic faces the lack of sound teeth, and the stunting of bod- ies, evidence of = acterioration due to the misuse of food."® In the factory town of Dundee boys between the ages of eleven and twelve vears were found to average ten pounds under weight and nearly four inches under height. Girls were found to fall below the standard also. The publication of these figures and other statistics on the subject has at- tracted much attention throughout England. Nothing can ° cause. greater consternation in the average Briton than the conviction that his race is detériorating. The matter is likelv to be brought up in parliament." . POTATO ROT PREVALENT.
