There were two divisions in the lower House. Mr. Balfour’s motion for its rejection was de- feated by 258 to 368, while the third reading was carried by a. vote of; 367 to 257, one member of each side having left the House in the inter- val. The result of the division was too much a foregone conclusion for a tremendous demonstration, but the Irishmen inside and outside of the House did their best, and, as- sisted by the Liberals and Laborâ€" ites, gave the measure for which they had waited and worked so long a good send-off on its way to the House of Lords, where its fate is .sertainly sealed. Series of Brilliant Speeches. The division was preceded by anâ€" other series of brilliant speeches by the political leaders, among whom were Frederick E. Smith and the Solicitor-General, Sir John A. Si- mon, two of the cloverest among the younger members, and the vet- erans John E. Redmond, Timothy Healy and Augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland. The House was crowded through- out the day. The Nationalists were only one short of their full strength, Joseph P.

Mr. Clemmons’ experience is not unusual. Now-a-days poor stomachs are more the rule than the excep- tion. But the proper treatment is sure to make a quick cure. You can always depend on Dr. Hamil- ton’s Pills, they reach the trouble at once, go right to business, work while you sleep and have you feel- ing better if not cured next morn- ng. “My food seemed to decompose in my stomach, writes Mr. Ralph Olemmons, of Newbridge P.O. “I had a stomach that failed in some way to perform its work. Diges~ tion seemed more or less arrested and I grew thin, yellow, nervous. The stomach became distended and impeded, apparently the action of the heart, for often .at night it would do great stunts. At times my head aohed most terribly. A friend who had been cured of a similar condition, advised me to take Dr. Hamilton’s Pills regular- Ly, which I did. The result in my case was simply marvelous. Dr. Hamilton’s Pills removed the cause, strengthened the stomach, excited the liver to normal action, the kid,- neys were released of excessive work. Health soon grew within me. I can now eat, sleep and live like a live man.” Be advisedâ€"use Dr. Hamilton’s Pillsâ€"they are sure to do you good. 250. per box, five for $1.00, at all druggists and storekeepers or by mail from The Catarrhozone 00., Buffalo, N.Y., and Kingston, Canâ€" 3M}.-MÂ¥m-&~.§1§é§;}é5yfitt‘iebfim.f«winked-«5» .'.

Railway accidents also show a considerable increase during the year. The fatalities totalled 568, arr increase of 73, and the number in- jured totalled 3,780, an increase of 451.

On this capital invest- ment dividends were paid last year totalling $31,164,791, equalling 4.04 per cent. on the total stock issue. The rapid growth in net earnings may be gauged from the fact that in 1907 dividends totalled only $12,- 760,435. Generous Public Aid. The generous measure of public aid to railway construction in Can- ada is shown by the fact that the total Federal, Provincial and mu- nicipal cash aid now totals over $208,000,000, while land grants to~ tal over 56,000,000 acres.

A despatch from Brussels, Ont., says : J. Leckie, who was returned by acclamation as Reeve of Brussels at New Year’s, has entered upon his twenty-fourth year as Chief Magis- trate of this community. Before Brussels was incorporated as a vil- lage he served nine years in Grey Township Council. Since the year 1873, when the village was incor- porated, there have been only thir- teen occupants of the Reeve’s chair. Reeve Leckio is the thir- teenth, but he is not worrying about the hoodoo in connection with that number. Scenes in Belfast. A despatch from Belfast says: Thousands of Orangemen and mem- bers of Unionist clubs held demon- strations outside the City Hall on Thursday evening and burned a copy of the home rule bill. There was much firing of revolvers, mostly blank cartridges, but one man was shot in the back and is in a critical condition. There were no further disorders, but bands paraded the streets until midnight.

A despatch from London says: Queenstown harbor is inundated with large steamers which have sought refuge in the Irish port. All are suffering from serious damage inflicted during the recent 'hurri- cane. They include the Furness, Leyland and Hamburg-American liners, and others belonging to vari- ous companies, battered, rudder- less, engines partially disabled, whilst many of-them have bridge decks covered by masses of wreck- age.
