Dut they with- (drew from that position with Tear and trembling, but only after they had submitted the proposition to the | meeting and suffered a severe shock. "| Toronto happens for the time being to have a most useful mayor and as- Kosament commissioner. MF Urquhart, who is the head of the civic govern 'mont, hms challenged attention by his J devotion to duty, and by his tact and _wuccess in conflicts with the great cor- porations in Toronto and Ottawa. | Mr. Fleming was one of the best may- ova that Toronto ever had, and he has made an ideal assessment commission. or.

His specialty is in saving ab rupt and bitter things, and the mar- vel of it is that he managed to get through the ordeal at Birmingham without a more serious conflict with the eléctors. Winston Churchill is a bright and interesting talker. He has voice and a manner which are -decid- edly against him, but he has the dash and nerve which the people admire. There was a certain picturesqueness Cornwallis West on the platform. She is Churchill's mother, and she greatly d him during his address. The women of England, more than the women of America participate in the political demonstrations of the times, and the two women who are most' conspicuous in this service are Mrs. Chamberlain and Mrs. Cornwal- lis West. Both are New Yorkers, and imbibed their political spirit from a Jorome and a Whitney. But thie is all aside.

Edgar W, Wallace is the representa. ive of the London Mail who has gone on a quick trip through Canada and finds public opinion largely in favour of the preferential tariff. 'British pnewspapers," he has remarked, 'ave paying very strict attention to all thingy Cenadion, and ax Canada is so very important a factor in the Chamberlin scheme of imperial unity naturally Canadian public opinion will weigh heavily with the people of the eld land." Mr. Chambetlain has pictured his movement as one which is designed to prevent the the dismemberment of the empire, and some men have been anxious to 'represent Canada as the favowite colony which the mother country ought to satisfy. This hag invited a protest from the Ottawa Citizen, which anticipates some disappointment from the change in fiscal polizy and a consequent howl that Canada has deceived the mother country into food taxation under false pretences. The Citizen sees that the protection and preferential policies are being much mixed in the discussions of the day, and it regrets that Cana dians are campaigning m England for the reason thai it may appear that thoy are Canada's agents, and reflect: ing the exact' mind of Canada.

Day's Celebrities--Has Had Many Stirring Adventures. / London, Név. 13.--Fresh from twen- t¥-two months' exploration in eqator- ial Africa, Major PowellCotton of Juex Park, Kent, is the social lion of the hour in London. He is more sought after, perhaps than any other celebrity in the metropolis, and for the past week the newspapers have been full of stories of his' adventures and 'achievements in unknown Africa. Nearly two years spent in the heart of the darkest part of the Dark Con- tinent, thrilling adventuses of the chase, weeks and months spent with | unheard of tribes, cave dwellers, and magicians, of whose existence not even Mungo Park nor Stanley had any knowledge, are among the new experiences of which Major Powell Cotton hus to tell. A passionate love of travel and adventure is the explor- er's stronger characteristics. Before his last trip, which has nafrowed down the "unknown" section of Cen- tral Africa, his wanderings had taken him into the least travelled parts of Kashmir, Thibet, Burmah, and Japan. He was the first European to kill the Abyssinian Ibex. and his collection of Kashmir and Thibetan gamc--all the specimens having been shot by him- self--is regarded as one of 'he@finest in existence, : Since 1889 Major Powell-Cotton has never stayed longer than ten months in England. His second trip to Kashmir nearly ended his olobe-trot- ting. Caught far up in the Kag Nag mountains while huntine the markor, he was snowed up several dave, and almost perished before he was res- cued bv natives. Another winter he marched from the Maramosh district to Ladak, a great part of the wav ving over the frozen Indus. Many of his followers succumbed to the bitter cold experienced on this trip. Again, while returmnine fro Thibet by a route never hefore travelled by Eure- peans, his followers deserted him, and he was forced to make his way alone through the deep snowdrifts for dave. Throueh the wildest parts of Abvssinia he hunted the Thex. accom nanied © sometimes by the Fmperor Menelik himself. Saved By A Ring. Labouchere's Truth, London Eng gave an account on July 23rd of the aueer story of Lady Mount-Edee- cumbe being buried alive toward the end of the eighteenth century with a valuable ring on her finger, and upon the sexton of the church entering the vault at nicht and opening the cof- fin she was awakened from a trance on his trving to force off the ring. A correspondent has heen s6 obligine as to communicate the particulars of a similar - occurrence, the heroine of which was Ladv Catherine Wyndham, daughter of the Duke of Somerset, wife of William Wyndham, and mother of the first Earl of Egremont. She died (as was supposed) at Orchard Wyndhams, the family seat in Somer setshire, and was buried in a vault beneath the church of St. Decuman's, near Watchet. The sexton went down into the vault at nicht, opened the coffin and endeavored to force a ring off her finoer. Lady Catherine awoke from her trance. vot un and lichted herself home with a lantern which the sexton had left behind in the vault when he fled in terror. A few months afterwards she nresented her husband with twins, one of whom became Sir Charles Wyndham and Earl of Egre- mont. which the Countess Isabella Nesder- sloa Kwilecki wanted for "an heir" to | get possession of a large estate.

Here, is an instance which may in spire Lord Donegal with the hope of a family.
