SA al FLEW ACROSS THE CHANNEL Epochâ€" Making Feat by a French Aviator in an Aeroplane. A despatch from â€"London says: The epochâ€"making exploit of flying across the English Channel was acâ€" romplished easily and swiftly on Bunday morning by Louis Bleriot, one of the pioneers of French aviaâ€" tion, in his small monoplane aeroâ€" plane. He left Les Baraques, on the French coast, at 4.33, and arâ€" rived in the North Foreland meaâ€" dow, two miles east of Dover, 37 minutes later. The airâ€"line distance between the two places is about 24 miles, but â€"Bleriot flew nearly thirty. He got lost in midâ€"chanâ€" nel, having been without a comâ€" pass and out of sight of land. When the haze lifted and he was able to see the English coast, he found his traveling almost east. He swung round, and with perfect control of Blacksmith Shot Girl and Took His Own Life. A despatch from Montreal says : Because the girl with whom he was in love spurned his offer of marriâ€" age, Jolhn Smith, or Schmidt, shot Maric Monet at the latter‘s home in St. Henri, a Montreal suburb, on Monday night, and turning the pisâ€" tol on himself blew out his brains. The girl was removed to the Westâ€" ern Hospital, but is not expected to recover. Schmidt, who was a blacksmith, came here from New York a few weeks ago, and became acquainted with the girl in a resâ€" taurant where she worked. _ The girl lived with her married sister at St. Henri, and Schmidt called there on Sunday evening, stating that he. would call on Monday night to say goodâ€"bye, as he was leaving the city for a short time. The sister, Mrs. Grize, left Schmidt and Miss Monet alone in the parâ€" lor while she went outside for a few moments. On reaching the street she heard a shot, and Miss Monet rushed out of the house and fell to the ground with a bullet in her back. â€" Another shot was heard, and when Mrs. Grize rushed in she fourd Schmidt lying on the floor dead, with a bullet in his brain. Thirtyâ€"two Thousand Men Needed & for Harvest. A despatch from Winnipeg says : "I can place 5,000 men at the preâ€" gent time at wages ranging from §40 to $45 per month and board,"‘ said Joseph Burke, Provincial Buperinterdent of Immigration and Employment, on Monday morning. ‘Every day applications for men are being received at my office, which I cannot supply, and I estiâ€" matle that before the harvest is well under way at least 32,000 men will be requirsd in western Canâ€" ada. I also think wages will be higher than the farmers can well afford to pay. The domestic serâ€" want problem is equally hard to handle at presert, and the situâ€" @tioa is dsily getting worse. I know of cases where farmers are paying as high as twenty dollars er month for servant girls, and female help is more needed in Maâ€" nitoba toâ€"day than men, if that be possible."‘ A Smallpox Case BDiscovered at : Woodstock.

JATL AS A LABOR BUREAU Scarcity of Harvesters Leads Winnipeg Magistrate to Try Experiment. ‘A despatch from Winnipeg says: Daily the fear of a scarcity of farm labor this summer grows apace with favorable news from the agtiâ€" oultural districts.. At the present time there are four hundred appliâ€" cations on file with the Provincial Government, and nearly seven hunâ€" fred with the Dominion immigraâ€" tion officers, asking for men, but neither can supply any. The C. P.

HOSPITAL QUARANTINED. the machine flew west against a strong breeze, which had sprung up, and landed with little difficulty on a favorable spot. His speed throughout the trip exceeded forty miles an hour, and he completely outdistanced the torpedoâ€"boat deâ€" stroyer, aboard of which was his wife, which was endeavoring to keep him in sight. Bleriot‘s success makes him the wirner of the prize of £1,000 ofâ€" feFed by the Daily Mail to the first man who crossed the Channel in a heavierâ€"thanâ€"air machine. â€" Three Frenchmen were on the coast waitâ€" ing to seize the first favorable opâ€" portunity to make. the attempt.

A rumber of settlers‘ shacks were alâ€" so overturned. in that district. Other places reporting damage from the storms are Napinka, Melita, Oak Lake and Pierson. Surveyors Favor Port Nelson as Terminfus. A despatch from Winnipeg says : A party of surveyors who haveâ€"beens engaged running trial lines for the Hudson‘s Bay Railway in the Nelson country arrived back from the north on Friday. They bring a report that would seem to indicate that Port Nelson is better suited in every way for the terminus of the road to the bay. The line is shorter and. more direct, and the harbor faciliâ€" ties are good and open earlier than at Churchill, while the cost of conâ€" struction is vastly cheaper than the more northern route. The surveyâ€" ors estimate thit from Split Lake to Nelson the cost of building the line will not greatly exceed that of orâ€" dinary prairie work, as there are no muskegs and no grades. Will Probably be Ordered by British Government at Once. A despatch from Newcastleâ€"onâ€" Tyne, England, says : Inquiries reâ€" ceived by the Armstrong shipbuildâ€" ing firm ind‘cate that the Governâ€" ment will give out almost immediâ€" ately orders for four additional superâ€"Dreadnoughts, which it is exâ€" pected will be armed with 13.5â€"inch 4 GREATER DREADNOUGHTS. guns Pleaded Guilty to Speeding His Auto.
