NONTREAL, Feb. 14.--The pastoral letter from the archbishop, bishops and admin- istrators of the ecclesiastical province of Quebec and Montreal. prescribing the faithful observance of the laws enacted to safeguard liberty and purity of elections, was read in all the parishes tau-day. Fol- l lowing the formal greeting, the document | reads as follows ' “We have, on more than one occasion, l warned you, through your pastors, that during,r election times you are the under eye of the Almighty, and that you should act far the greater good of religion and your Country ; that you should cast your vote not for the candidate who would promise money or drink, but for him whom, after reflection. you judge to be the most honest and most capable of discharg- ing the very important duties with which ‘you Would entrust him. Of late years, dearly beloved brethren, intemperance has made frightful headway in this pro- vince, and we are now. terribly threatened by it, as an employed me ms of Corrupt- ing voters at elections. An apostle of temperance has very truthfully said tbatl in a parish liquor houses were at all times, but especially during an election, the por- tals of hell ; consequently you should con- sider is the most cruel and dangerous enemy of your country, of yourselves and families, the candidate who would, direct- l ly or indirectly, entice you with liquor to vote for him.

After quoting Ecclesiastes xxxi., their lordships continue as follows : ’ A STRINGE‘ST PROVISION. “ For these causes and the holy name of God, invoked with the authority confided with us by our Lord for your eternal sal- vation, we forbid, under pain of grievous fault, the giving. selling or distributing during the three days that precede, and during the three days that follow an elec- l tion, we condemn as a grevious sin, which we make a case especially reserved, the absolution from which cannot be had but from us alone or our vicars-general. Such also shall be the case with those who sell themselves or allure their neighbor for election purposes, or who give money or whatsoever to buy a vote or to prevent. one from voting. Always bear in mind that terrible word of our Lord : ‘ Woe to him through whom scandal comes.’â€"â€"Luke xvii., 1. What will it avail you to have received a little money or to have succeed- ed in electing your candilate by means of money or drink, or by threats, if sooner or later the arm of. the Almighty must 7 strike you, either in this world or in the 3 next? May God grant you, dearly be- - loved brethren, the grace of well under- ; standingIr and faithfully fulfilling your important duties ot charity and justice towards your country and your neighbors, l- and of obedience to God, who commands -- you to observe the law, that His benedic- tion may descend upon you and your fam- A ilies. 2.0, “FmfiHCDHO 1 1,LL__ -1-..1I kn “The present pastoral letter shall be read and published from the pulpit at the parochial mass on the first Sunday after its reception. and on the Sunday preceding the elections.” 4 1 1___ n__;:_n1 DUU ULUU uu up.

The police were watching for her all over the West of England and following false clues. It was left to her own brother to traCe his wayward sister to Shrewsbury, Where he discovered her at an inn in male attire. She WLS willing enough to accompany him home and was restored to the arms of her parents. The escapade \\ as the freak. of a romantic girl, who suddenly Conceived the idea of putting into effect her long~cherisl.- ed dream of seeing the world. She left the train at Gloucester, went to a clothing store, and bought the suit of man’s clothes on the plea that she intended to give it to the poor person who had appealed to'her for C charity. She then went to a barber s and t induced the man to cut her hair, on the i pretense that she suffered from headaches. She later took the train to Mitcheldean, and while in the compartment of a first- class coach effected u. change of clothing, leaving her suit of Woman’s apparel on the lseat. At Mitcheldean she alighted, look-l Eng like a. bright young boy. From that‘ time she had a series of amusing adven-l tures, managing to deceive everybody and ‘ i l l l elude pursuit, although the whole country was aroused and searching for her. It transpires now that Kate had made similar attempts before. She was a high-spirited L girl, spoiled by indulgence of her parents, 1 and could not be restrained. There is 3 nothing to be said against her character. i ' Her motives were to escape the thraldom l of home and school life. and seek a life of what, to her, in her ignorance of the world, seemed one of innocent adventure. i Her brother, who knew her ways and in- clinations, followed her closely as soon as E the search began, and succeeded, while all ’ the police were at loggerheads. in discov- 't ering her hiding place and rescuing her ” l from danger. \Vu .OTTAWA, February 14.â€"Mr. Sedgmck, 1‘ :1 Deputy, Minister of Justice, makes the‘ I following statement with reference to the recent telegram from Washington that the i n Canadian Canals are only used by Ameri- l 1 cans on sufi'erance : By article 26 of the l a treaty of Washington, the St. Lawrence canals were declared to remain for ever freeandopen, for the purpose of commerce . as well as navagation, to the subjects and citizens of both countries. By article 27, the British Government engaged to urge upon the Dominion Government the securing to citzens of the United States, the use of the Welland and St. Lawrence canals on terms of equality with Canadians the Government of the United States making a like engagement in respect to the St. Clair flats canal and the other canals connnecting the navigation of the great lakes and rivers. No provision has been made for ending these privileges. Express provisions. however, have been made for putting an end to the privileges relating to fishing within the three mile limit and free trade in fish and fish oil. There can be‘ no argument that these privileges have been put an end to under the provision of article 33 of the treaty. There is still an unsettled question as to whether the bonding privilege is put an end to in consequence of the peculiar phrase- ‘ ology of the treaty, butit would seem that the obligations regarding the navigation of the canals are of perpetual force. N either country can be absolved from this except by a new treaty. This is clear in regard to the navigation of rivers. The use of the canals upon terms of perfect equality by both countries may depend upon Canadian legislation, but the treaty on this point is absolutely silent. “â€"wv-vâ€" THIN: 'Q-I’JQ'm FLORENCE, Feb. 9.â€"â€"An atrocious scan- ' dal. inVOIVing an officer and nobleman, ‘ has come to light here. The officer, Lieu- tenant Count Livourne, some time ago betrayed and deserted a beautiful girl of sixteen, Marie Bianchini, residing at a town some distance from Florence. unfortunate young woman was of excellent family, but poor. Immediately upon abandoning her the Count married a wealthy lady. Marie soon afterward came to Florence, where she sought out her betrayer and reproached him for his treacherous conduct. The noble ofiicer became so enraged at her denunciations that he knocked her down and kicked her as she lay prostrate, and finally threw himself upon the victim of his brutal rage and bit part of one of her ears off. The . assault came to the notice of the authori- ties. and the lieutenant was court-mar- tialled, found guilty, and sentenced to undergoa month’s imprisonment without a prejudice to the right of the girl to bring . .. ,.,__ 3,...

Mr. John Gamen and Wife of Freeport, attended the revival meetings on Tuesday night in the old Mennonite church, near Preston. During their trip to Preston the moon was shining beauti- ‘fully and clear, out on their leaving for home was obscured by heavy, dark clouds which threw everything into darkness. Their horse was a healtny bay, 12 years of age. They had got about half way home, when suddenly. Without the slightest lwarning, the clouds burst and immediate- ly everything was thrown into dazzling brightness. For a moment the horse stood still as if paralyzed with fear, and then with a shudder fell over and was stone dead in an instance. The neighbors helped the astonished Couple home, and the next morning the horse was buried. An event of this order has never taken place near this district before. and it is the sole topic of conversation of the little ? 5 village. The Duty on tse HIGIN BOTH AM’S WHITE - REESE - BALM WASHINGTOS, Feb. 1'2.â€"There is practi- cal unanimity among the Democratic mem- bers of the Ways and Means Committee in favor of the bill of Representath e Fitch of New York reducing the duty on barley and hops and there is little doubt this measure will be favorably reported to the House. 1 At to-days meeting of the Democratic i members of the committee Representatives Lockwood and Fitch made an extended ‘argument in favor of the bill and main- tained that the making interests of the country are being seriously impaired by the - - It 1'.- :__1,i_- Lt" Than UUUIILL" any Vv.-.° _-_- , d ‘ 7 operations of the McKinley bill. These gentlemen contended that it was shown by figures and acknowledged by the interests affected thrcughout the country that the present duty is so excessive that it practi- cally prohibits the importation of Canadian barley into this country. Instead of the 12,000,000 bushels that was imported prior to the passage of the McKinley bill there 1 1 7"; U §llv rl-vwv‘nv . has been imported during the past year less than 3,000,000 bushels. The bill. they say. had worked the destruction of the malting interests all over the state of New York and throughout the country generally. ROUGHNESS The same kind of malt, it was said, can- not be made out of American barley asean be made out of Canadian barley, the former being of an inferior quality. The Canadian barley when brought to this country was mixed with the best grades of American barley and thus created a greater demand for American barley than has been found to exist since the importation of Canadian barley has been stopped. The price of American barley, the speaker stated, instead of advancing, as prophesied by the advocates of the McKinley Bill, has constantly gone down since that law went into effect. DIDN’T AFFECT THE PRICE. The price of Canadian barley, on the other hand, has remained substantially the ”ALA $31118 CANADA AT WASHINGTON. sauna. These gentlemen also contended that there are no interests in the countrthhat would be adversely affected by the placing of the duty the same as it stOod before the passage of the McKinley law. The inter- ests affected now are important and various, for according to the argument of the New York Congressman the present duty affects not only the importers of barley, but also the maltsters and brewers. It also tends to produce an inferior quality of beer and further affects the elevator and tra1.sportation interests of the country adversely instead of beneficially. So far as the Democratic gmembers are concerned there appeared no opposition to Mr. Fitch's bill, and theZNcw York con- gressmen hope to have it reporzed favor- ably at an early date. ‘ ‘ ' ’ ~--J 1m 11.. mm. 3013’ “L uu \lurth ‘- .....
