i ¢ law. Hon. Charles Fitepat: | rick presented the bill to the house in 3 | speech, of rare precision and power. Sir Wilfrid stood with him, and gave dt to be understood that he wished to see the measure carried. It represent: Jed varied interests, and aimed at a condition of Sunday observance that wus now and that could . only be reached by comproniise and concilia- tion. But the great leader of a party | plainly stated that while the liberals J of the government and the house were at liberty to vote as they pleased he desired to see the measure adopted. It {is believed that that speech practical: ly settled the question. Bourassa and Lavergne, of all 'the French members, who were excited over the inteMorence of the federal act in their Sunday customs, broke away from the leader's side and indulged In performances which wers indicative more of caprice than courage. Aye, Sir Wilfrid saved the Lord's Day bill, and if it is to- day the law of the land, he more than any other man in pprlinment is 10 be thanked. Next to the ove man who took pro minenoe in debate was the one mea- sure that absorbed so large a part of | the session. The Lord's Day act is out a perfect measure. That is con: ceded on all hands.

He does not need to surrender to the small politicians of his party, and it should be his particular duty to pro- tect the civil service. We do not ex- pect that he will appoint liberals to such. vacancies as may occur in the service while the office hunger is so strong in the conservative party. But as the party appefite become partial- ly glutted we still hope that he may undertake a reform of the whole vicious patronage system. Honor Memory Of Juarez. Mexico City, July 18.~Today is observed as a holiday throughout Mexico, being the anniversary of the death of Banito Juarez, the liberal party president of Mexico, who dis- tinguished himself during the French afiair, which ended with the exeen- tion of Emperor Maximilian. This morning a large procession marched to the comotery wherein lie the re- mains of the distinguished soldier and patriot. The procession included workingmen's societies, members of the federal district and city govern- ments, scientific societies, officers of the garrison, Masbate of congress, surviving signers of the present con- stitution and members of the liberal patriotic committees. President Diaz was among those who paid theie tri bute to Ye memory of Juarez. Flow- ers wore ped upon the tomb until it was completely covered. A Tholera Vaccine.

The New York Post of Saturday says : "There was a dinner given on Friday night by the golf committee, and the first toast of the evening was: '1 hope the Canadian (G. S. Lyon) may lose his head." This is one of the most unsportsman like things Am- erican golfers have ever been guilty of. In Canada aM the visitors are given an equal chance, and the first toast at such a dinner in this country would assuredly be: "Here's that the best man wins." Only recently in Philadel- phia were the Ameri¢ans given an example of true Canadian sportsman- ship, when the Canadian cricket eleven went on after six 'o'clock and finished out a game that might have boen: de- clared a draw had the visitors wished to enforce the rule." The half yearly meeting of the Que- bee rughy football union will be held in Montreal on Saturday night. The retirement of Herb. Brown as secre tary necessitates the selection of a new official and in addition the sche dule is to be arranged. Important questions 'will come up when the rules are discussed. The union will be asked to deal with the changes made by the Canadian wnion. For instance it is proposed to do away with interference in scrimmage and a stringent rule will be suggested. By this the centre man be prohibited from interfering with the ball before it is on the ground. The idea of this is to prevent stealing in scrimmage and to allow the ball to be heeled out in a fair manner. Another rule to be discussed will be one de- signed to prevent kicking into touch. At present the throw-in is a nuisance. The new rule provides for a scrim. mage to follow a kick into touch, or a run in, and by this means a great deal of bothersome scrapping among the forwards may be prevented. At present a team must gain five yards on the third scrimmage to retain pos: session of the leather. It is proposed o make a gain of ten yards in three downs take the place of the present regulation. AND NOW THE CIRCUS. Barnum & Bailey Circus to Ex- hibit in This City in a Short Time. The Barnum & Bailey greatest show on earth is to exhibit in Kingston, on August 7th. This will be grati fving news to all who appreciate a high-Alass modern circus. The Bar num & Bailey show, according to all preliminary reports, not only retains its supremacy as the leader in arenic amusements, but even ga cursory glance at the list of this vear's big eatures compels the conclusion that its own former records have been sur- passed. It seems to be an established fact that when the public wants to see the latest European sensations it must go to the Barmum & Bailey show. The amount of clever work and the extent of the tremendous expendi- ture involved in securing epoch-mak- ing acts for this circus can only be conjectured. : This season's talk-compelling sen- s embrace the exciting "Two Twirls of Terror," in fvhich two death- defying bicyclists turn complete re- volutions on their wheels while shoot ing through space; the "Pip of Death," in which a beautiful young American girl "loops the gap" in an automobile, and several other "Thrill ers" that have created unlimited dis-. cussion, These startling acts do not inter fere with the general excellence of the performance, for the roster of great riders, acrobats and aerialists is ex- ceptionally long and varied. The trained animal features are unusually novel and effective; there is an amusing infusion of comedy bv a com- pany of up-to-date clowns; the old Roman races are revived on a colos- sal scale, and a notably complete col ection of rare animals teresting study to visit the bic show.
