Crisis Not Over, ' The Frick committee, which investi- surance company on behalf of the dir- ectord, appears to have done its work ed last week a candid criticismi was expected. But there was more than that, The committee, like the. skilled physician who finds disease in a mal- Jignant form amd presumes to remove it, made a sharp attack on the man- agement of the Equitable and de (| manded its reform. Just what thy report contained may never be known in detail. Tt was a confidential document, printed it is true and. circulated among the direc: tors, but when the meeting adjourned and handed it in, and upon the Tips of each was placed the seal of secrecy, In spite of these precautionary measures, however, it has leaked out that the management was severely condemned. It was held that the officers were lax or loose in methods, that they were extravagant, that they had unduly increased their salaries, that there was waste in every branch and depart- ment, that the president, the first and should resign, and that with the selection of new officers there should be a-complete re- organization of the society and its business, - High words passed at the meeting, medium' of the nervous | and according to the New York Her- ald, some mien glared at each other, and others, in the heat of debate, shook their clinched hands menacingly, until Friday, then the Frick report was rejected. But it had Jeft its impressions. Though Mr. Frick 'left the board in disgust, and the officers screened them- selves for the time being behind their friends, there began a new epoch in the life of the society. A chairman is to be selected--with powers exceeding those of the president--and a new exe- cutive committee, and they will Hegin the reforms which the scandals and quarrels of the Alexander-Hyde party have shown the need of. The crisis is not over vet. It will only have passed when there is a com- plete sweeping away of all old offend- ers when the trusts which have fatten- ed upon the Equitable's patronage have been cast off when the moneys of the company have been withdrawn from every scheme of a speculative character, and the policy-holders and they only, get the benefit of all the earnings of the prisoners. Noisy Tatk Of Office. A discordant vote was heard in the commons! on the question of appoint ments, A conservative member, in the innocence of his heart, complained that there . was some discrimination with regard 18 the employment of men on a certaip public work. The finance minister acknowledged that when a conservative and a liberal applied for employment, and they were equally qualified, he had no hesitation in giving 'preference to the liberal. George Taylor, of Gananoque--the whip, and a sort of pet lamb with his Party--was simply horrified. "It is not business," he gasped. Dr. Barr was afraid that the finance minister was laying down a dangerqus doctrine, "to the victors belong the spdils."" He was reminded of what Mr. Whitney has been doing in Ontario. Dr. Barr assured the house that Mr, Whitney dismissed no one without » cause, Mr. Campbell, speaking perhaps un- der inspiration, replied that the lib- eral government at Ottawa had shown the greatest forbearance with the partizan officials whom a conserva- tive government had appointed. The Whitney government had not been so considerate, '"The liberals," said he, 'are not squealing about this. If Hon. Mr, Whitney wanted to do business 'this way he would have to take the consequences." It is significent to note that a cor- respondent of the Toronto News, sign- ing himself "One of the Mob," has re- iterated the suggestion that the con- servative office seekers should hush their cl for favours. He isnot willing to admit that the News did so very much, nor the independent - re the late election. The men who defeat ed the | "the vol hungry office-seekers,"" and * are going to have the legi- timate fruits of their labours."

Frank Cochrane is = that he is a mine and timber owner, and cannot do any- thing without seeming to aot in his own behall, Had Gamey betn chosen for the office he could have said that he owned nothing, not even a good name, As predicted, the Manitoba registra- tion of votes was a great failure. Hundreds of electors did not get their names on the list. "The general op- inion of non-partizans,'"' says a tele- gram to the Toronto News, "is that the general elections cannot fairly be held on the lists for which this regis- tration took place."

AF Approaching her Milanese suitor, she offered him £40,000 if he would bid himself to divorce ber at the earliest opportunity after cir mvar- riage. The man aged, and a few Hon ago the ing took place in Milan, the bride leaving her usband at the church door and starting at once on a journey with her lover. ---- 300 VOLUMES COPIED. ---- Canada's History from Paris Documents.

Montreal, June 5.---A remarkable case of identification is afforded ' by the experience of a young man, the son of a prominent engineer of Ly- ons, France, named arent. This young man came to Montreal recent- ly to search for a brother who had efteFrance eighteen months ago, and who had been reported dead. He learned that a lad named George Laurent, who had charge of the ele- vator at the Bath ay in a success- ful effort to prevent a little girl from entering the moving elevator had had kis head crushed between the floor of the lift and the top of the door frame. The body had been buried, with hundreds others, in the public trench at Cote-'des Neiges cemetery, After. satisfactory representations had been made, Justice Davidson gave i permit .to have it exhumed and taken to France to be reburied. There still, however, was the great task of finding the right coffin, as coffins in the public trench bear no inscription. The under- taker said he could identify the coffin, and the brother said he could -identify the remains by the gold-filling in the teeth. After a search of a whole night and part of a day the grave diggers having removed 278 coffins, came upon the right one, both means of identi- fication being taken as conclusive evi- dence of its correctness. -------- CHURCH NOT DOING WELL. Disciples of Christ Regret State of Affairs. Bowmanville, Ont., June 5.--At" the convention of the Disciples of Christ, Pastor W. C. McDougall, of the Col. lege of the Disciples, St. Thomas, in speaking of the condition of the Dis- ciple: churches = in this province, said that thirty per cent. of the Ontario congregations are without pastoral care or supervision by the provincial board; that fifteen per cent. more are without spiritual life; that thirty- eight per cent. are favorable to the short pastorate and are active for a time after the new man arrives, and corréspondingly inactive too soon af- terwards. Only twelve per cent. are well equipped and progressive churches; eighty-eight per cent. are be- low what they should be spiritually, one-third safe, and the other iwo- thirds illustrating the weakness of our methods. They may be death to us, and may kill the third that is now safe. He favoured educated and trained pastors, endowed colleges, and supervision by the provincial board of all churches. -- A Union Depot.
