Hotel - Rates $5 to $25 a Day-- Eggs Eight to Twelve Cents Each and High Rates for Other Supplies. London, "Sept. 3.--Private letters give gloomy accounts of the situation in Johannesburg. -- One writer states that the cost of living has increased by fifty per cent., while the labor market 1s° overstocked. There is a strong tendency to' reduce wages, dis- content is increasing, and genteel pov- erty abounds. The writer sums up 'the situation thus : "There will' be soup kitchens here before Christmas, and a devil of 4 row within tgelve months." Another writer confirms the ac- counts of tha dearness of living in that city. After g month's experience in a boarding house at ten guineas per head per month, which he and a friend found insupportable, they man- aged to secure a house on a twelve months' lease at £9 per month, pay- able in advance. At the best hotels the charge is from £1 to £5 per day with meals. An unfurnished room néar the market sijuare costs from £1 a month, but such rooms are not plentiful.

O'Connor; M.P., "of 23rd August, contains the f6llowing reference to Judge Girouard's recent visi to. England, 'contributed by James Johnson, formerly of Ottawa : "Among the colonial coronation vis- itors fo London who were obliged. to leave for home before that event took place was Mr, "Justice Girouard, one of the judges of #he supreme court of Canada, a descendant of "Antoine Gir- ouard, of Riom, France, a private se- cretary to Governor de Ramesay, of Montreal. He was born in 1836; was educated in Montreal; is a D.C.L. of McGill university of that city, and an honorary LL.D., of Ottawa universi- ty. He was a member of the Canadian house of commons from 1878 to 18935, and was for fourteen years chairman of the committee on privileges and el' ections. He: was called to the bar in 1860, and was appointed a judge of the supreme court in 1895. . He has written extensively on legal subjects, and is generally recognized as among the ablest | jurists in his native pro- vince of Quebec. "Connected with Justice Girouard's visit to Lemdon, two interesting coin- cidences may be recorded. The s6- cond day after his arrival, on taking up his morning paper, the first para- graph which occupied his attention was one conthining the substance of a speech delivered by his son, Sir Percy Girouard, at a dinner given by the officers of the National Scouts at Pre- toria, in which he made an interesting reference to the fact that he himself out of treaty obligations. Again, on the day, Justice Girouard leit Lon- don, hg: experienced a father's pride and | gratification when he read in Lord Kitchener's final despatch from the seat.of war the following mention of his son: "Brevet-Major (local Lieut.-Col.) Sir E. P. C. Girouand, K. CAM.G D.S.0., R.E., has beep mv principal advisor in the numerous and int ions pertaining to rail- way ation in South Africa. He is an _sefticer of brilliagt ability, and I wish him all success in his new capacity as head of a great civil de- partment--commissioner of railways." TAILORS COMPLAIN.

Wark is in the city ad- vancing the interests of "Pharoah, or the Last Days of Pompeii," a drama- rization of- Sir Edward Buller Lyt- ton's famous novel. The performance will be at the Grand on Saturday night. The scenic, electric and mecha- nical effects introduced, with the rich costumes, add much to the success of the production. John Fay Palmer is gifted by nature with a tall figure, classic, cast of features and a reson- ant voice, © His characterization of "Pharoah" will rank among the mas- terpieces of acting on the stage to- day. All-the classic characters of the sthry appears living, breathing per- sonages.' The unholy love and passi on; mysticism™ and sensuality of the character of the Egvptian are brought forth in a highly artistic manner by Mr. Palmer. Monday Night Event.

Each carload is va- lued at about $700, thus heinging the total fruit trade up to $2,100 mark. Most of this fruit eomes from the St. Catharines and Niagara districts and is shipped to Kingston in refrigerator cars, the goverhment supplving the we free.
