His inheritance the old story the long lost nephew and the rich uncle. In the Ascher, his uncle died twenty years ago in Lon- don, after accumulating a fortune of {great magnitude. For these twenty years the search Ascher has been almost world-wide, and it was only by a mere chance that he came to {know of his heritage. In I888 Joseph Ascher, died in He was | Germany, but had left his brother, the father of Emil Ascher, and went to seek his fortune in Australia. There | his brother lost track of him and his {name practically was forgotten. But lit develops now that Joseph Ascher {grew wealthy and. went to live in | London, where he died suddenly, leav- {ing neither will nor clue to his | tives, Six months ago Mrs. Ascher received la letter "from a friend of hers Ger |many, near the place where she was thorn, saying that a family of the name lof Ascher had fallen heir to a large | fortune and that the names of the |! | members of the family were wanted {by a Léndon law firm. Mrs. Ascher {had little idea that her husband was among those to become beneficiaries. She wrote back, however, to a cousin of hers, Sol Buokoisei, a lawyer, of Berlin, telling of the reported search |] for the Ascher family and askigg him |¢ to look into the report. After several communications Mrs. Ascher received a letter from her cousin, yesterday, in which it was stated that her hus- band was certain to share to the ex- tent of at least a million in the Jos- eph Ascher estate, Falling heir to a million, however, did not seem to produce the thrill in Mrs. Ascher or her family that might | be expected in these commer ial { times.

These Ex-Judges Are a Disgrace Says Brodeur. La Prairie, Que., Oct. 16.--The fea- ture of the big Laurier demonstration here was an attack made by Hon. L. P. Brodeur on Sir Alexander Lacoste, Hon. J. A, Ouimet and Hon. C. J. Doherty, all retired judges, who are now taking an active part in the poli- tical campaign. He said it was noth- ing short of a scandal that these msioners -of state, drawing big al owances because they were unfit to continue their duties on the bench, should take an active part in politics. Sir Alexander Lacoste is conservative organizer and Hoa. Mr. Doherty and Hon. Mr. Ouimet, conservative eandi- dates. . Le Canada, of Montreal, has per- formed a public service in publishing the facts connected with the retirement from the bench on pension of Hon. J. Alderic Ouimet, the conservative can- didate in Yamaska. On January 27th, 1906, Judge Oui- met sent to the prime minister a cer- tificate given by Dr. Mount in which it was stated that the judge was {afflicted with an incurable malady, and that unless he were relieved of his judicial duties he (the doctor) would not be responsible for the con- sequences, The law provides may be granted to a teen years' service or proof that he that a pension judge after fif- upon medical is physically incapaci- tated for his duties. Upon the strength of Dr. Mount's certificate, therefore, the then minister of justice prepared a recommendation to council in which the facts were stated and it was recommended that Judge Ouimet should be retired and allowed a pen- sion equal to two-thirds of his ot, ol for the rest of his natural life. This was adopted by order-in-council on January 31st, 1906, and since that time Mr. Ouimet has been drawing his pension at the rate of $4,666.66 per annum. Yet, Mr. Ouimet has sufficiently re- covered from "his incurable malady to conduct a vigorous political cam- paign in Yamaska and face the possi- bilities of a session of anywhere from five to eight months in Ottawa. Is that dealing fairly with the pub- lic which provides the money for these pensions ? Is it not rather calculated to. bring parliament and the govern- ment face to face with the position, where they will be compelled to amend the law in such a manner-as to pro- vide that where an ex-judge enters the political field he will be compelled to give up his pension ? A LIBERAL SWEEP In the Montreal District is Now Assured, Montreal, Oct. 16.--As nomination day draws on, the prospects for the liberal party in the district of Mont: real and in the whole province of Quebec improve each day. Messrs. Bickerdike in St. Lawrence, Gervais in St. James and Mederic Martin in St. Mary's division are safe by anywhere from 700 to 1,000 ma- jority. Despite the desperate fight conduct- ed against him by that political pen- sioner, Ex-Judge Doherty, J. C. Walsh will be 're-elected in St. Ann's by_ be- tween 300 and 400 majority. In Hochelaga the conservatives are putting up a strong fight against L. A. Rivet, appealing to the protection- ist sympathies of the cotton opera- tives, but they will fail, and Rivet will win by at least 500. In Jacques Cartier, I. D. Monk having the fight of his ife and it is even betting that he will not be out of danger until the last vote is poll ed. His opponent, U. H.

Seranton, Pa., Oct. 16.--An entire new agreement will be the demand of the anthracite mine workers to the operators to replace the present work- ing agreement which expires April Ist, 1909. This was the decision of the miners' eonvention-- The demands to be embodied in the new agreement are: "First, an eight-hour day; second, the 'check-off' providing that com- panies collect dues and assessments for the union; third, weighing of coal instead of paying by car as at pre- sent; fourth, ten per cent. increase in wages on all kinds of labor." The other demands will be ones, and will be determined at present session. minor the Steamers Collide ; One Sinks.
