The. scribe agreed with all the ladies, that the display was simply grand. The pretty display in the window at Pearsall's store on Princess street, is catching the eye of all passers. But on the inside there is still some- thing more wonderful: The critics say, and they should know, that the neéw headgear presented at this store, iz of the very best that New York and Paris can turn out.

N. RB. Project, Ottawa, March 17.--A resolution proposed by I). D. McKenzie, of Cape Breton, ing 'that the time had arrived for the extension of the Inter- colonial railway into the mon-railway sections of the maritime provinces within reasonable distance of the gov- ernment road, was discussed at a Inte hour last night in the commons. Af- ter the desirability of extensions of the government system, especially in the parts of Cape Breton and Quebec not now served, had been vigorously urged by Messrs. McKenzie and Mondou, somewhat to the surprise of the few members who were in the house the speaker quietly declared the resolution carried when no one else arose either to continue or else to adjourn the de- bate. Thus, for the first time this season at least, an opposition member - has had the pleasure and the honor bt getting the government to adopt a somewhat important principle of rail way policy. In order to remedy defects in the present insurance act, revealed in the recent inquiry mto the aliaire of the Union Life company, a bill to amend the act was White Federal co-operation and aid will probably be forthcoming to encourage Canadian prospecting for radium-bear- mg' ore. Prominent liberals when seen this morning in connection with statements to the efiect that Mackenzie and Mpnn had been assured of liberal support said there was no truth in the states ment. They will not declare them- selves one way or another until the proposal is laid before parliament. THE STOCK MARKET. F. B. McCurdy & Co, 86 and 88 Brock St.--H. W.
