The boy wanted to go to St. Catharines to see his uncle and Mr. McIntyre object- ed. The boy then, as he says, to frighten his father, drew a revolver and pointed it.

He was tried and sentenced to death, but Gen. Buller has commuted the sentence to imprisonment for life. Lord Roberts also cabled from Znnd River camp, Max 9, saying:â€" â€""I have received a mom cheen teleglam from Baden-Powell, dated April 27.” This evidently refers to the despatch in- cluded in a Mafekinc correspondent’ 3 cable already published.

He was dressed in a dark suit, brown peak cap and tan boots. He is the oldest of four children. there being two boys and two girls in the family. He has been wurking with his father for the past few months, and it is said. that their relations have always been amicable. Mr. McIntyre being an ex- cepzmnally good father. People who know the boy say that he has 'never shown an ungovernable temper. He was very obliging and was always on the best of terms with his brother and sisters. He is known to be an ex- tensxve reader and to be a deep thinker. If is believed by a number of his acquaintances that his mind has been temporarily unbalanced from too much reading and thinking. Police Constable Johnson and Detecâ€" tives Forrest and Verney went down and arrested the boy, who was taken to number one police station and questioned by Inspector Stark. He was then taken down stairs, and searched. Besides the revolver he had the usual contents ofu boy’s pockets and five cartridges, but no money.

The House went into committee on Mr. Fisher’s resolution authorizing the Government to renew with Messrs. Allan and Redford Company the cold- szorage contracts for this season and new. the amount not to evceed 828,750 per annum. Mr. Fisher explained that the orig- inal contract for three years was en- tered .into [our years ago, and that it expired last season. Owing to the South African war and the consequent rate demanded for steamships, there was a danger of the cold storage ves- sels being monopolized by Americans, and it. was thlerefore necessary to ro- new the contract. He regretted, how, ever, that he had ndt been able to get as favourable terms as in the contract which had lapsed last year. Mr. Puttee was told. by Mr. Mulock that {or the week ending 7th April, 190.0, there were 87,170 letters handled in the Winnipeg post-office.

Mr. (‘asgrain was told by Mr. Mu- lmrk that the system-of receiving and delivering: mail by mean-s of blocks or brackets while the train is running full speed has been in operation for about a year at several stations on the Intercoloinal. At first some of the mail bags were injured through defec- tive construction of the brackets, but this has since been remedied.

Not so very long ago an enterpris- ing Illinois showman wrote to soon- vict who had been sentenced to death for a series of cold-blooded murders in that territory, and requested him to give the said showman an inter- view for the purpose of having his voice recorded in the phonograph, so that future generations might listen to his tones.

An American criminal who some time since expiated a life of fraud and bloodshed on the scaffold was approached by a firm of enterprising publishers, who offered him a large sum of money, which they explained could be settled on his wife or oth- er relatives, provided he would finish an autobiography of himself, includ- ing all the most exciting features of his career. The gentlemen concerned, however, received the request with de- rision, and sent a message to the publishers declining the offer in terms which, to say the least of them, were more profane than literary.
