NORTH LANCASTER The Dominion Day procession in honor

of their national holiday was the largest and most successful in the history of the town. The excellent arrangements made by the Order of Maccabees, with Mr G 0 Leclair at the helm, was the best turnout of the season. The Cornwall band headed the procession playing their grandCanadian airs to the delight of the population which lined the roads. Mr. G C Leclair showed the maple leaf well on his garments while the tricolors of all sizes and dimensions were numberless. Over 2000 people took in the sights of the day.

are two Presbyterian churches as at Kirk Hill, that Gaelic services are hold Sunday about in each church while there is a union between the two Sabbath Schools, what is the reason we cannot have gaelic in this school ? We have Gaelic people all around and I hope the matter will not be over- looked.

MONTREAL Like unto the rush to Colorado some

years ago, there is a rush out of Montreal just now. A rush of people hastening away from the heat and a few perhaps enlarging the latitude between them and their ci*editors. The rush to Colorado was a benefit to the place but this rush is an injury to Montreal. The loss of those who have departed for reasons of credit etc. is not much of a li^ss but the principal element of the rush is the moneyed inhabi- tants of the city for they, only, can shift their domestic scenery and sneer at the sun from some shady retreat. The com- mon multitude, the yellow dogs, the black cats and the small boys remain in town of course. There is no fishing or yachting on the workman’s program, at least during tlie present social conditions, nor is there any salmon fishing on the Restigoucho for the yellow dogs, no rush out of town for them till the final day when they will be found dead one hers and there with the action of its internal organs forever stopped by a street car ; there is no rush out of town for our black cats, they cannot stay away from the roofs of our sheds, they will lose the last breath there making profane noises and when they cannot get the necessary bread and cheese to keep their nine lives together they will die with magnanimity.

Occasionally—onco in a huundred years —or perhaps oftener than that, some financial and commercial and medical men from Alexandria, Dalhousie and Vankleek Hill spend a Sabbath in town—acommend- able practice. On one of these occasions many hundred years ago, the contingent arrived here Saturday evening and had some fun which was quite right. The fun only consisted of light conversation, short walks and long drinks and after an hour or two the walks were dispensed with and the party settled down as it were in a high class hotel and continued the fun, which then consisted of mixed conversation and pure unwatored drinks. It was a good lime though, but long ago, and we mention it merely as a joke on the gentle- men who took part in the fun. The pnblio also are very curious, and they will wonder who the gentlemen were and the gentlemen will wonder where wo

COTE ST. GEORGE School examination and picnic. On

Thursday, June-SOtb, the school house in Cote St George with the teacher. Miss-pc.->ting at Anderson, and scholars had an exciting time, holding their annual examination. There were present a very few of the parents, trustees and friends of the schol- ars, too few to encourage either the teacher or her scholars, this fact is unfortunately the case in almost all rural districts, that the people and parents exhibit but a cold and luke warm interest in their examina- tions. The children proved by their apt replies, their position in classes, and all moral deportment that their teacher had spared no pains in teaching all her classes in the various and necessary elements desirable for the advancing of the young in useful knowledge. After being through examining, the more fortunate were re- warded with useful prizes, six being the number of the lucky ones. The school duties being over, all went to the picnic grove on Sandy McGregor’s hill, where over a hundred of all ages and sexes, were set down on comportablo scats and with nature’s green carpet underneath and the shade of the beautiful maples, gave an excellent shelter from the burning rays of Old Sol. Then a number of the gentle sex with baskets of dishes, sandvviches, cakes of all kinds, pies and preserves, tea, coffee and lemonade, gave a lunch, a treat very welcome to all and refused by none. After partaking to the full of these refreshments the young men and boys enjoyed them- selves in different games, such as running, jumping and other athletic exercises com- mon to young people. Miss Anderson and all who wished or were able, sang a numb- er of very choice pieces, among which were Annie Laurie, The Hunting Tower, Com- ing Thro The Rye, and-also some of the young men sang a couple of pieces inGaelic when a good many of those present joined in the chorus, all being now tired of eating, jumping, swinging and singing, the picnic was brought to a close, bc-ing all in stand- ing position, sang “Auld Lang Syne,” and the National Anthem. Three cheers and a vote of thanks were proposed for all that assisted in getting up the picnic. Three cheers to the Queen and to the teacher, Miss Anderson.

The fnikirea of the Liberal party make a popular theme for esteemed contempor- aries. Bat so long as there is a dearth of

failures in the legitimate trade and indus- try of the country the people will not worry over the matter.

Queen Victoria has appointed^Lord High Chancellor Baron Herschell, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Richard Cartwright, Sir Louis Davies and Mr. John Chariton,M.P., to be High Commissioners representing Canada and Great Britain in the proposed Gauadian-Americau conference.

"On its thirty-first birthday, the Domin- ion of Canada is the most happy, prosper- ous, free and democratic coautry on the face of the earth.” So sayeth the Toronto World, recognized by leading Ontario Con- servatives as that loyal party’s organ, ahd wo honestly believe Brother McLean in this case, meant what he wrote.

Pi-

On July 1st, we began, as the Mail Empire puts it, "our second instalment of free trade.” Very true, and the proof, if proof be wanting, that there was little or no ground for the Tory howls against freer trade relations, is the fact that now, right in Toronto, faces them, namely this season there has been and are now in

course of erection factories that will afford room for 3,000 additional work people.

Canada’s fiscal year ended on the 30th June, and the figures to hand covering the returns received at the several important ports are highly satisfactory and give abundant proof that there baa been a sub- stantial increase, in spite of a somewhat reduced rate of taxation in revenue. The port of Montreal is unquestionably the most important of our ports and^he gain there for the last 'twelve months was 9441,190 or about 6^ per cent, while as compared with the three previous years an

increment of no less than $1,223,619 is shown.

The Ontaria Agricultural College has just completed the most successful college year in its history. In no previous year was the number in attendance so great. The graduating class was a large one and next year promises even larger. TheDairy Glass was a large and successful one. There seems to bs a greater inclination among the farmers of the province to educato their sons along agricultural lines than ever before. Altogether the prospects for the future of our Alma Mater wore never brighter than at the present, and we who are stepping out of our more immedi-

ate relations with her, covet for her the same prosperity that has attended her during the past year.—O.A.C. Revieto.

Considerable surprise has been expressed both in this country and in the United States over the recent action of the Am- erican Senate in striking out the

«Ation for the 00i

anqnesjjablrifly-

3hy|jgflBaljnaDQer; the fact that

Canada is t^e third best citetomer Une’e Bâi& bas and that, there are other countries to which she can transfer her patronage, She can well afford to rest on her oars and let onr American cousins, without any further assistance from this side of the line, wake from the Rip Van Winkle, lethargy that seems to have for the nonce

come over them. In the interim we will continue to perfect our own fiscal system aud to encourage other nations to do the same by treaty or conference, following the British example in refusing to wait for the-laggards.

TIÏÀ r GRIST MILL

It should be characteristic of the citizens of every town to do everything in their power to better its condition from every standpoint. Citizens of Alexandria should of course be no exception to the rule and that a large number of them are really loyal to the town’s best interests there can not bo the slightest doubt.

It is however at times quite diflicnlt to get rid of the idea that our citizens are not by any means miking the best of their opportunities. No town in Canada has a better class of people with whom merchants and other business men trade and it is a fact that impresses strangers that the largo majority of the Glengarry farmers coming into this town are in better than ordinary circumstances and are a splendid class of people to deal with.

The question now is do we direct our energies in the best direction in the way of making this trade mutually profitable? Wo doubtless do as far as the bosioess of those who deal with ns goes, but it should be apparent to all that this business though now large should be even double or treble what it is when we take into consideration the prosperity of the farming class upon whose business we largely depend.

There should in many cases among our business men be displayed a degree of enterprise that can scarcely be said to be indicated by the lonesome looking old walla of the grist mill for instance.

If our town is ever going to go ahead, the first step must be to rebuild the grist mill. Surely there are business men enough in the town who have sufficient interest in its welfare to do something to encourage a movement in this direction. There is no use in the matter being agitated by some irresponsible talkers. Let people who have interests at stake in the town take the matter np and carry on the agitation until something is done. We really cannot afford to have business fall off and go to neighboring towns, just because our own people hadven’fc push enough to do the very thing needed to hold the business we are now losing. If the property on which the remains of the mill now stand cannot be purchased, there are certainly other places within the corporation limits that would be at least almost as advantageous.

If nothing else can be done the council should pull down the wall at any rate. It is enough to drive business away from any town to see such a sight as Alexandria seems proud enough of to hold up in her very busiuess centre year after year. Pull down the wall aud build a new mill.

C. P. R. LAND SALES

As good a barometer of prosperity as any that can be found in Canada is the record of land sales made by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. It at least gives some idea of the progress of settle- ment in the Northwest, and it is to the Northwest that Canada has been for twenty years looking for some sign that the immense expenditures which contribut- ed to run the national debt up to its present proportions were not made in vain.

Up to the end of May the sales for 1898 wore 164,303 acres. For the same period in 1897 they were 53,420 acres.

The amount realized by the C.P.R. this year up to June 1, was $526,443.93 In 1897 for the same period the amount was $19,778.92.

The largest increase for one month was in April, when 43,145 acres were sold for $140,275.84, as against 10,785 acres for $37,745.69 in April, 1897.

The Liberal Government is making a success of itsdSTorthwest policy.—The Qlohe

The Hon. Sydney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture, aud Professor Robertson, of the Ottawa Experimental Farm,* sailed

New York on Saturday last for Eng-

land, to be absent two months. Mr. Fisher has not gone on a jaunting tour, by any means. On the contrary he purposes paying a series of, visits to a number of the

leading cities,' where be will address boards of trade and other commercial bodies in the interests of Canadian trade. In this way our Dominion Minister of Agriculture will be brought in close contact with lead- ing business men of the Old Country, men

Who are actively engaged in importing

agricultural products, the result of which, We confidently predict, will be that a decided impetus will be given this import-

. % r. 1# ()XTAWA, July 4th.

There is perhaps no more fallacious charge iu the whole Tory category of the marvellous, nor one more frequently made against the government than that in which they charge the ministry with having fail- ed to redeem the Liberal pre-election pledges. It is a tale which is dished up for Tory readers by the Opposition journals and reiterated ad nauseam. These pledges which are now part of the political history of Canada, are contained in tue declaration of policy adopted by the Liberal party at the Ottawa convention in 1893. This won the great victory for Liberals three years later, which the country heartily ap- liroved of then aud of which noa»'ly every bye-election since has been an emphatic en- dorsation. The principal feature of that policy is not free trade in the strict sense of the term. It is, however, opposed to the protective principle and declares for a tariff which will properly provide for the requirements of the public service while condemning as unsound the so called National Policy of the Conservative party and claims that the tariff should be so ad- justed as to bear as lightly as possible upon the necessaries of life and so framed as to open a way for freer trade on this continent but particularly with the Mother Land. It needs but little reflection upon what has already been done to convince any, save the Tory skeptic, that the government of the day has, during the past two sessions, made substantial progress towards the final consummation of the Liberal trade policy. The proof furnished by the trade returns for the financial year just closed, will clearly show that the trade of Canada has been enormously etimulatod and the indications are all on the side of an up- ward tendanoy in our import and export trade.

Another point at which the Liberal policy aims and which the government is pledged to obtain if possible, is in the direction of reciprocal trade witli the United States. There is a strong probabi- lity of this pledge soon being redeemed for it is officially announced that the trade question will form one of the subjects for consideration by the Anglo-Americau convention which is expected to meet soon at Quebec. It is understood that as yet no official information has been received from Washington as to the United States senate rejecting the grant of $50,000 for the expenses of the American commission- ers in tlie Quebec conference, but there is considerable comment upon the senate’s action in the matter being made in official quarters here. There are those who go so far as to predict that the result will be a postponement of the conference indefinite- ly, while on the other hand it is held that the action of the senate will not seriously affect the proposed international negotia- tions or even retard the opening of the convention. It is argued that if the United States senate purpose ratifying the recommendation of its committee which is expressive of hostility to the conference then it would be abortive in holding the convention siuca whatever arraugements might be reached by the commision would meet with certain defeat when Drought up for ratification in the senate. This is the pessimistic view of the situation which is

not at all likely to prove correct. As it is none of the ministers, who remain in Ottawa, care to give any opinion upon the matter. After all it may only be a little harmless diversion provided by senatorial tailtwisters to their tail twisting consti- tuents in th^^untry. Probably it is mere- ly intended to deprecate the idea of any sudden conversion from their Hfe-long anglophobism to the now popular Anglo- Saxon creed of the present time, that they give this fresh evidence of their delight in the indulgence of their favorite pastime of twisting the tail of the British lion. Wore it intended for anything more serious and respectable than bye-play of the long years of anti-British agitation and a sort of sop to the fenian element of the population on the other side of the border, it would certainly be atr unwise affront for the United States senate to offer the only friend and ally that America seems to possess iu the world to-day. But calmer judgment does not accept anything so ssnsational, and such a matter, oven should it affect the datoiof the convention, will not ultimately defeat the project any more than it can stem the current of Anglo-American sentiment from daily in- creasing in power between the English- speaking peoples of the world. There is every prospect of this Liberal pledge being fulfilled. The issue of reciprocity is taking tangible shape and it would not be sur- prising that a fairly broad measure of reciprocity would be included in the re- commendations of the Quebec conference which may be considered at the next session of Dominion parliament.

The sneers of Tories in regard to the alleged failure of the government to redeem its pre-election pledges are not at all deserv- ed, On the contrary the record of the past two years goes to show a very satisfactory progress made towards the fulfilment of all the promises contained in the Liberal policy. It promised parity of administra- tion and inspite of desperate attempts made by the Tories in the senate and in the commons not one point in their trump- ed-up charges of corruption has stood the test of investigation. In the management of public affairs the promise of economy has been rigidly lived up to, the Franchise Act repealed, first steps taken to carry out its pledge in favor of prohibition while in other Liberal platform issues ground has bean laid for succesfully carrying them out. The repeal of the Gerrymander Act in Ontario which has been the source of eo much of injustice to Liberals in that Pro- vince, will be effected next session unless the Tory lords of the Upper House inter- fere. In respect to that institution there remains also the pledge to reform the law controlling the upper branch of the federal parliament, and this reform cannot come toa quickly.

THEY niOHIBlT CYCLING.

A Township Council in Cnrloton County Distinguish ThcmsolTes.

Ottawa, July 3.—At a meeting of tho Osgoodo Township CounoU a bylaw was passed to prevent bicycling within the townships. Tho înofcion to introduce the bylaw was moved by Councillor William Doyle, seconded by J. B. Sully, and was carried unamimously.

Tho Township of Osgoodo therefore en- joys th3 unique distinction of being the first municipality in the country, if not in tho world, to introduce such a remark- able piece of legislation.

The action of the Council Is said to bo due to the fact that bicycles scare the farmers’ horses. It is extremely doubtful if tho bylaw will stand a test case in court, should an endeavor bo made to en- force it. O.=sgoodo Is in Carloton County, which returns Mr. Kidd to tho support of Mr. Whitney In tho Legislature.

A CANVASSER’S EXPERIENCE. Suffered From Kidney Trouble and

Rheumatism — Was Becoming Despondent When Aid Reached Him.

From the Journal, St. Catharines. One of the most recent witnesses about

Fonthill and vicinity regarding the virtues of Dr. Williaraa’ Pink Pills is John F. Price, who is widely known in the Niagara District os he has been on the road as an advertiser and canvasser for six years and has thousands of acquaintances. His complete cure has added fresh lustre to the reputation of the great medicine. Hearing of Mr. Price’s sufferings and restoration, a history of his case was requested. His story is “I am 26 years of age and have been afflicted with rheumatism for-seven years. At times I have been unable to get my clothes on or off without assistance, and have often been compelled to have my food cut for me at the table. In the winter of 1897 I was attacked with la grippe which, settled in ray kidneys. I then be- came so iir that I was compelled to abandon all employment. At that time my liver and kidneys combined in what seemed to n e their last attack. I used several medi- cines and doctored in Buffalo and St. Catharines without geting any relief, so my confidence in medicine was about gone. I was getting no rest day or night and was becoming despondent, finally I was pur- suaded to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I did so and have used in all eight boxes, and am now able to state that I feel better than in the past ten years. These pills are the nearest to a speciflo that I have ever used, and they are the cheapest and best medicine I have over tested, having thoroughly reached my case and effected a cure; 1 feel so gratified for the relief I have obtained that I think it my duty to publicly make this statement. If all who are suffering will give Dr. Williams’ Piuk Pills an honest trial, I am sure they will bo as en- thusiastic in their praise as I am.

LORD FERNFIELD Although John the Yoiiuger and Isabella

Ban who Jived in G about fifty years ago had not the banns proclaimed at the church yet the neighbors knew that they were engaged to married. John was a fisher- man and Isabella-Tias the daughter of a crofter. Until Mr. Allan, a son of her father’s brother, who was a lawyer in Stonetown, came to the place, there never were two so deeply attached to each other as John and Isitbclla.

On a certain day Isabella’s fatherinvited Allan to inspect his stock and crops. The old man boasted of his wealth, when the lawy- er said “I am surprised that a man so wealthy as you would give his daughter to a man so poor as Young John who has not even a house of his own. Is not his sister supporting him ?” “That may be true, but who can she got better than he?” replied the old man. “Am I better than he ?” asked Allan “and if she takes me, she will be a lady as long as she lives. I never told you that I bought the estate of Fernfield which is five miles from Stone- town. If I succeed as well as 1 expect, 1 will soon be a resident of Edtnbugb, and when I am elevated to the Peerage, the title which 1 have chosen is “Lord Fern- field.” Think of the honor which will be oonferrqd on you, when they will say to your daughter, My Lady. “I am,” said the old man, quite agreeable that Isabella should have you aod that the matter shoqld be so.” Since you are a lawyer and 80 i^udeut, perhaps you may be able to tell us how to get rid of Young John.” “Let that mater rest with me ” answered Mr. Allan. The lawyer took every oppor- tunity to put out John and reinstate him- seii^iq Isabella’s affection. He enlarged

wealth, his cleverness and greatness ^ i^Ekggerated the poverty, foolishness Tj^tfhumWe position of John. “If you in»ry John” he said, “you will not even have a house for yourself, your sister-in-law will be your mistress.” “You lie” said Isabella, “John 'will do anything I tell him.” *‘We will see " said the lawyer.

The first time John and Isabella met she told him what Mr. Allan said and on John seeing through the deception of the enemy, his anger got the better of him so that ho and Isabella quarrelled so badly that the> vowed that they would never again speak to each other. AJfew months after this Isabella Ban married Mr. Allan, bborthy after their union an intimate j

friend came to see Allan, to whom the latter confided his plans. Being together one day, this friend said to Allan, “I trust with this great fortune you are getting, that you will be able to pay your debts, and that you will not bo “broke” as you feared you would bo.” Allan answered “I will know to-night as soon as the letters

That night Allan received a letter from his father-in-law and the following words were some of its contents, “since you are so wealthy as you arc, yon do not need any help from me, for this reason I have put out my daughter’s marriage portion at interest to be used in educating your children when they come of age.”

The day after, Mr. Allan left his bless- ing with his wife went away and she never afterwards saw a sight of his eyes.

AMERICAN BREED.

For Fltlier Bond or Bacios Stock There Arc Suitable Animals.

An English horseman says, “All beauty, resolute endurance and extreme racing speed at run or trot rest in the blood of tho Arab.” This may be set down as fact. All tho merits of tho English thoroughbred aro to be traced

AN AMERICAN ARABIAN.

to tbo qualities iulicreut in tlio original Arabian blood, from whieh tho race horse was developed. The mo.'ît famous trotting families in America likewise trace directly back to Arabian blood. Given tho blood of tbo desert stood, with its spirit, ambition, endumnee and speed, you can make of it by (level- opinent and training anything, saddler, runner, trotter, pacer or carriage hovso.

One of the most noted American .sires •was old Henry Clay. His do.scoiidants aro scattered far and ■'i^’ido and are known for thoir beauty and lofty, spir- ited carnage wherever they are soon.

Talk of your hackneys and Cleveland bays! Hero is a young American stal- lion, bred on both sides from the best of Henry Clay’s descendants, that for beauty, action, high stepping and all tho qualities that go to make a noble horse is the equal of any animal living. His portrait •was printed originally in The Country Gentleman.

He is a blood bay 16 hands high and pear of kin to some famous trottcr.s. Wherever the old Clay blood, with its plentiful Arabian dash, is there you have something uncommon. Wo com- mend tho appearance of this animal to those rich Americans •svho think they must import tlieir riders and drivers from England and Franco.

Beef CalvcB,

The Kansas state boardof agriculture embodies in a report tho recommenda- tions of a largo number of tbo beef gro'wers of tho state in ivfcrcnce to mat- ters they had learned from experience. Tho report says :

Thoir recommendation for the feeding of calves tho fir.st winter is AvJicat bran and shelled corn or bran and cato )JI suf- ficient quantities, with hr.y or other coarse feed, to keep them thrifty and gi-owiug..

A largo majority favor dehorned or hornless cattle and say that for tho fat- tening lot such cattle have a 10 per cent greater value than those with horns. Thirty reports gives them a greater val- ue cf 17 cents per 100 pounds, 20 phice it at 82.05 per head. The higher price they say fat cattlo without horns are likely to sell for averages 13cents per 100 pounds.

Tho time required for properly and Mfely changing cattle from a grass to a full or maximum grain diet i.s 23 days, pr from cornstalk field 16 days.

With two exceptions, all say, exti*a labor considered, it is not profitable in piausas to keep fattening cattlo tied in gtalla,

The animals cannot rub the wool off thoir necks trying to get at tho feed ; neither will the seed, dust and rubbish fall into the wool, and they cannot pull tho hay down and mess it over so they will not eat it afterward.

Tho ra-ck is easily made. Mr. Ogilvy says that with it you can have lambs running about the feed lot without their getting on top of the bay, which ordi- narily cannot be done. Ho describes tho device thus:

THE GLENGARRY NEWS, ALEXANDRIA. ONT., JULY 8, 1898. C. E. DEPARTMENT.

Provincial Editor’s Budget. A C.E. Convention at Glascow has been

held with great entliasiasm, sonio o£. the best men taking part in the proceedings. Every part of tho pledge received attention and added emphasis, especially the matter of church attendance’ which we fear ia too often slighted. Note this : It is a danger- ous kind of spiritualism that excuses per- sonal absence by saying “my spirit was with you.” During tho yo.ar British En- deavorers had entered into church member- ship to tho number of 12,265.

The Free Church assembly report OM

“Tho youth of the church” states that last year 6,000 less scholars had attended the Sabbath schools than during the previous year. Various explanations were given, but the one regarded as most likely was that they had gone into the C. E. Societies.

Are you living an ideal life ? that is full of sweet satisfaction and joyous recom- pense. It is blessed to tho individual him- self and to all who are touched by his in- fluence. Professor Drummond’s book with this book is an exceedingly helpful contri- bution to such a lif-3. It oasts light on de- partments of life that need illumining. It is a vory precious book for an earnest Christian Endeavorer.

Aro you keeping the altar fire burning ? The spiritual life soon dies out if we do not. Prayer ' is tho Christian’s vital breath. Keep praying. Use ever^ means within reach to stir you up to diligence in devo- tion. Spare no pains to keep the alter fire aglow. I would cordially commend to you “Tho Ministry of Intercession” by Andrew Murray, which is replete with living spirit- ual thought. It is fit to be a hand book to the Christian for daily use.

What about keeping the pledge ? some hear quickly. Aro you arranging to be in Hamilton in October, all being well ?—we trust so.

THE BOLTER.

How Ono WM Pormanontly Cured by a Man of Besourccs.

Ono of tho quocrest inothods over practiced to coiTcct a “notional’’ horse came under tho observation of a Courier roportor recently ; tho location, a small city not a thousand miles away, whoro horsemen dwell in numbers and the breeding, raising, breaking and racing of pacers and trotters aro a largo factor in tho prosperity of tho locality in ques- tion. Olio breeder owned a valuable horse of extreme speed and withal a low record, but for somo unaccountable reason thehorso became “notional’’ and hard to control.

When' being worked out, ho would simply fly for a quarter of a milo and then, .shaking his head, as if to say, “I’vo got enough,’’ would slow up, or if an active por.suador was u.scd would bolt for tbo fence and do divers and other moan and tricky things, to the di.sgust of his owner, driver and the usual crowd of onlookers. Various ex- pedients v/oro iTsortod to to correct the bad habits, but all failed until one day his driver, a man with a national repu- tation as a driver, had a ion and aft- er consulting with tho owners, who ap- proved of tbo idea, proccec' ,d to put it^ in forco.

A rumor of tho novel idea getting into circulation, tho large r part of tho inhabitants wero in attcnilanco to see tho new plan tried. The borso was hook- ed to a heavy road cart, the harness fit- ted with heavily padded blinkers and the hcr.so’s head protected somewhat, and tiien John and his assistant climbed into tho rig, tho assi.stant holding a double barrel sliotguu in his hands, said gun loaded with cartridges filled w a smjiU load of powder—real black st of Ihc noisy kind—and a liberal supp of flue salt.

I^bo horse was started at a rapid gait and all went merry as a marriage bell until the (piarter polo was reached. Hero tho herso dropped one car, and, shaking his bead, was getting ready to make a “sasliuy” for the inside fence, •when Bert, leveling the gun, aimed at tho horse’s neck and cars, pulled the trigger, and “bang!” went theguu. Mr. Horso was too surprised to know what to do, but ho didn’t stoi>~not just then. Instead ho made a bee lino for the out- side fence, when “bang, whack I’’ the second loa(i hit him on tho ears and straightened him up in the middle of tho trat^k, and the way that horse paced down tho back stretch was an example for a Star Pointer.

With frantic effort Bert shoved more cartridges in the gun and commenced to fire them into the horse’s neck and ears, and it’s said that no horse before or since ever struck such a gait for a half mile. Timed by a dozen watches, he made tho half in 1:06, pulling a cart and two mon, a gun and a load of salt. Considering the bolting, stopping and lost motion, they must have gone awful fast.

That aftcmooii tho owner, who is quite a smoker and uses a big pipe, went to the stall and before discussing the morning’s scrimmage proceeded to pull out tho pipe and a match, and, strik- ing tho match, bad to hustle to get out of tho way and into a safe place, as did every ono else in tho stall, for no sooner did the horse hear tho scratching of the match and see tho flash of the light, than ho nearly tore tho stable down.

Since then in a work out, Bert, armed with a shotgun, lying in tho grass at the quarter, half or three-quarter as the notion took him, would commence a fusillade in the air, which v.’-as all that was required, for the animal’s one cx periencewith salt and powder was .suffi- cient to correct him of a bad and dan- gerous habit.—Toledo Courier.

"Why Not tho Cheshire?

If our Poland-Chinas arc too fat and lardy, if wo ■want something that has plenty of lean meat to supply tho pres- ent European demand, why not try the Cheshire?

This breed of hogs has plenty of lean meat. They havo been known and ap-

proved in the United States for genera- tions. They are active and muscular and can forage in woods and pastures for their living almost equal to tho ra- zofback. They are not, however, wild and savage like that beast, but are gen- tle and domestic, the sows making tho best of mothers.

Cheshircs are white hogs. They are best kuowm in our eastern states, par- ticularly New York and Pennsylvania. What’s the good of sending to Europe and all over creation to get Tamworths and other ugly, skinny swine when wo havo under oar eyes hero at home true bacon liogs?

Ivlv© Stock Points.

When you desire to enter into any nmv lino of stock raising, as that of aheep, cattlo, horses or hogs, «omething you aro not accustomed to, invest in a small way and go slow at finst till you learn the business. Enlarge as your flocks and herds enlarge under your good management.

The live stock man who has not look- ed out for plenty of shade and water during tho hot weather for all hi.sdumb creatures, even down to tho chickens, is a wicked man and a very wasteful one besides. Animals without plenty of shade and water during tho hot season go off more than mouths of feeding later can make UD for.

At General Shaftor’s headquarters, Fri- day, July 1, 4 p.m.—(By Associated Press despatch boat Cynthia.)—General Shafter’s array has had Its baptl.sm of fire, with despenAe courage it has con- quered the Spanish works before Santiago, and at this hour is driving tho enemy into the streets of tho city. The victory was won at heavy cost in killed and wounded. It is impossible to estimate the loss at this writing.

In some ca.ses every officer in a com- pany was lost.

Tho Spanish loss must have been heavy. Tho Spaniards opposing Qen. Lawton’s Division lost in killed, wound- ed or taken prisoners, 2,000 men, and lo.ss on tho centre and left must bo double that number. Most of our troops took position during the nighc, although Gen. Bates’ reserves did net como up until morning.

Gen. Lawton’s division, on tho extreme right, supported by Capt. Capron’s bat- tery, Gen. Kent’s division in tho centre and Gen. Wheeler’s division on tho left, supported by Capt. Grime’s battery, planted on a hill, formed a line which stretched across the whole •width of tlie basin in which Santiago lies, a distance of fully five miles.

Attack Upon Caney. Immediately In front of Qen. Lawton

lay Caney, surrounded by blockhouses and entrencbmeiYs and against this point were the operations direocod. Beyond the San Juan River, 2,0u0 yards before the centre and left, lay a line of entrench- ments a mile west of the city. These two divisions were covered by a heavy tangled undergrowth between tho San Juan and tho Rio Guama. On the extreme left, on the heights beyond Capt. Grimes’ battery, behind which, in the shelter of an old sugar house, where the rear cavalry division was massed, were Gen. Duffield’s Michigan volunteers, who moved out at daylight over the line of the railroad from Siboney.

The Americans had the advantage of tho sun in the morning, which shone directly In the enemy’s face. . The engagement opened whan the fleet lying outside the entrance to tho hv.rbor bosran dropping shells into tho lower end of the Spanish earthworks.

This firing, which was entirely by bear- ings, was not'effective.

At 7.20 the land engagement opened with firing from Capt. Capron’s battery on the extreme right, upon the block- house and entrenchments before Caney. This was followed quickly by simultane- ous attacks by Gen. Chaffee and CoL Ludlow, who occupied a Hanking position to the north. Tlio Spanish replied with great spirit and nc»vo when the Ameri- can sliclls burst directly over their tren- ches. A few minutes before 8 o’clock Capt. Grimes opened with his battery on the heights to tho right of the main re- doubt, situated in the centre of the Span- ish lino of entrenchments, directly before tho city.

fïpanish Beply Was Kffectlve.

The Spanish reply was immediate and womlerfiilly accurate. The second or third of their shells broke over one of Capt. Grimes’ guns, killing two men and wounding four. Both tho Spanish and American batteries used shrannol. Tho next Spanish shell burst just beyond the battery and riddled a sugar house, behind which Col. Woods’ Rough Riders were waiting a forward movement.

It was from these heights that the Eng- lish, German and .Japanese military at- tache.s viewed tho engagement.

Capt. Grimes’ shells, sot for a range of 3,800 yards, slightly overshot tho mark. It was difficult to locate the Spanish guns, as they used smokeless powder, and in this tho Amolcans had tho "worst of it.

V'icAv Prom a Balloon.

About 8.80 a balloon was sent up In front of tho cavalry division. This diew the first volley from tho Spanish entrench - ments. Though volley followed volley, the daring officer made a reconnaissance and got down safely, after having ob- tained complete details of tho disposition of tho enemy. Tho advance of the cavalry and Gen. Kent’s division immediately began along tho lino of tho main road to Santiago. It was about two hours later before the American advance began breaking through the cover in front of tho Spanish trenches. It was met with a murderous hail from Mauser rifles, which temporarily stayed tho forward movement. Tho Spaniards had the range' and their practice was good. Tho Americans lay on thoir breasts and poured volley after vol- ley into them at a range so close that the opposing linos could see tho whites of each other’s eyes.

Capt. Grimes then reopened with his battery, and in the second duel with the Spanish artillerists did much bettor exe- cution, planting shell after shell in the first main redoubt and, silencing two guns. Tho-Spanish gunners then turned their attention to tho United States in- fantry and began dropping shells intxi tho advance guard.

A few minutes afterward Clark’s bri- gade and the right of Kent’s division inado a gallant charge up the knoll to the north of the oxtromo loft of the Spanish lines and took possession of tho hacienda in the shelter of an orange grove. This marked tho beginning of a mugnifleont charge through tho first lino of entrench- ments.

Against i\ Storm of Death.

The cavalry division and Qen. Haw- kins’ brigade charged up the slope against a storm of death. It was in this a,wful charge that tho Americans wore so badly cut up that they started on a double quick, but no troops could face such a terrific flro without annihilation. Tho Americans staggered, they tlirew themselves on tho ground; again they started; again they prostrated themselves, but on, on, up, up, they wont, until, with a cheer, they sprang over tho tren- ches dividing tho sides of the hill check- ered with thoir fallen comrades. There was hand-to-hand lighting hero, in which an officer of tho 24th was macheted by a Spaniard, hut tho Spaniards could not resist the onset of tho United States troops, and they scrambled out of tho trenches and broke over the line of knolls on which they woro situated. Hundreds

I of tho Spanish lay dead or wounded in the trenches.

Miilii llodoubt CHrrled With a Bush.

The main redoubt was then carried with a rush. Tho two remaining batteries

woro then ordered up and with a rattle and clash Capt. Bates’ battery went tear- ing up tlio road, enoumljered as it was •with a stream of wounded going to tho rear. Tho battery got in position to tho right of tho main Spanish redoubt at 3 o'clock and at 8.03 Uapt. Bates sent the first shell, which went whl/.zing down tho lino of entrenclimonts, enfilading tho enemy murderoxisly.

Tho American advance lino remained behind tho crest of tho hills until Capt. Bates had driven terror into tho already beaton and discouraged onomy.

At this time tho American fleet was also at work. Shortly before this despatch was written, tho United States lino again moved forward and tho Spanish began to retreat Into tho town. The retreat soon bocamo a route and at 6 o’clock an officer just from tho front says tho onomy are hopelessly beaten.

Gon. Shatter at his headquarters at the second crossing of tho Klo Guama had a constant communication with tho front.

Tho most critical time was after tho tronches had been taken when tho am- munition ran low. Two pack trains load- ed with shells woro got to the front by Lieutenant Brooks shortly after 3 o’clock.

Tho wounded are streaming In. Gen. Shafter estimates that tho loss in

killed and wounded is not more than 500.

OVEK ONE THOUSAND LOSS.

Washington, D.C., July 3.—Tho follow- ing despatch from Gon. Shafter was re- ceived to day and nuulo publio from tho White House:

Playa dol Este, July 3.—To Secy, of War, Washington. Camp near vSovilla, Cuba, .July 8.—Wo have tho town well Invested on tho nor;.n and ca.st, but with a very thin lino. Upon approaching we find it of such a character autl the defen- ces so strong that 15 will bo impossible to carry it l>y storm with my Dresont force. Our losses up to dato will aggregate 1,000, but list has not yet been made. But little sickness outside of exhaustion from Intense heat and exertion of tho battle of tho day before yesterday and tho almost constant flro which is kept up on tho trenches.

Wagon road to tho rear is kept up with some difficulty on account of rains,' but I will be able to use for the present. Qen. Wheeler is seriously 111 and •will probably havo to go to the roar to-day. Qen. Young is also very 111, conllnod to his bod. Gen. Hawkins slightly wounded in the foot during a sortlo tbo enemy made last night, which was handsomely repulsed. Tho behavior of the troops was magnifi- cent. Gen. Garcia has reported that he holils tho railroad from Santiago to San Luis, and has burned a bridge and re- moved from some rails; also timt Gen. Pando has arrived at Palma, and that the French Consul with about 400 French citizens aimo Into his lino yesterday from Santiago. Havo directed Jiim to treat them with every courtesy possible.

31ilcs Calls It a Draw,

Gon. Milos said tho rc.sult at Santiago appears to bo a drawn battle. IIo also said tho withdrawal of Gon. Shafter to the highlands of Siboney, near the sea, would bo temporary, enabling tho troops to rest and prepare for futuro work. Gen. Shafter would proliably give up El Caney and the plain not far from Santiago.

GEN. LINABES WOUNDED,

And Half the Spaniard!) En;;jiged Were Placed llor.s do Combat.

Madrid, July 4.—Capt.-Genoral Bianco reports to tho Government, under date of July 1, as follows: “At noon today tho enemy vigorously attacked Santiago, and succeeded in taking the advaucod pohi- tions of Lomar and San Juan, after a vehement resistance, lasting three honrs, on our part. We were able to save our artillery, though half tho troops wero placed hors do combat. Gen. Linares was severely wounded in tho left arm, and relinquished his command to Gon. Tor- ralo. The enemy in considerable force attacked tho village of El Caney this morning, but wero repulsed by Go^. Vara. Tho fight was resumed this even- ing and ondod In El Caney itself being captured after a vigorous resistance on our part.

“Our losses were heavy. I havo no news of tho Escaro ami Caresa columns, with which it is impossible to communi- cate, despite all efforts to do so.’’

Madrid, July 8, 4.30 p.m.—Prlvato despatches from Santiago give tho follow- ing details: “Gen. Shaftor’s annv, com- posed of 17,000 infantry and 82 siege guns of various calibre, ni-tackod tho Spiinish po.sicions before Santiago, 0,000 rebels under Garcia assisting them. Tho Spani- ards had only 2,000 men, party volunteers.

“Our troops fougljt with lieroio cour- age. Tho battle lasted tliroo hours, and tho SpanLsh were thou compelled to aban- don the trenches and fall back on Santi- ago. The retreat was conducted in perfect

“Tho American attack upon El Caney was very severe. The position was do fended by Gon. Yara de Key, with 500 men. Tho enemy was at fir.st repulsed, but ultimately renewed the attack, the result being unknown.”

A later despatch says: “Tho Americana fought eight against ono. The Spaniards defended themselves heroically. Our wounded are numerous, Including Qen, Vara do Rey and Major Demluuez. The struggle is becoming difficnlt, 2,000 Spaniards having to meet 25,000 of the enemy.”

THE STAR LACROSSE CLUB

For several years now, the above named organization, from the fact that as a junior club, it invariably showed good work in the lacrosse field, has stood high in the estima- tion of the sporting community of .Glen- garry and deservedly so, for the young men who comprise the aggrigation are well and favorably koown. Step by step, by con- scientious hard work, this club has been coming to the front till to-daywe find, right here in Glengarry,a team that equals, if riot surpasses any now in the interme- diate series. Thus,the few who are closely allied with the club, know, and the sooner our citizens generally realiz-s the fact and by their co-operation and patronage finan- cially assist the “Stars,” the sooner will our club attain the position held for years by the invincible Glengarrians of yore. We trust the management will arraoge a series of interesting matches, and that no- thing will bo left nndooe to encourage our boys to show the metal they are made off.

SPRAYING FRUIT TREES

For five weeks agents of the Ontario Department of Agriculture have been giv- ing instructions in the spraying of fruit trees at thirty orchards in different parts of the Province. Reports sent to Mr. Orr, RupHTinteudent in charge of this work, have just been received at the Department, to the effect that fungus is now appearing upon apple and pear trees, and threatens to do extensive injury to these crops unless checked at once by spraying. Insect enemies also are more numerous than usual, this year. Apples, with the excep- tion of the Spy, have set well, and where properly cared for there is promise of a good crop. In spraying apple trees to check or prevent the spot, use the Bor- deaux mixture, made as follows ;—Copper Sulphate, 4 pounds ; Lime (fresh) 4 pounds; Water, 40 gallons. Suspend the copper sulphate in five gallons of water. This may be done by putting in a bag of coarse material, and hanging it so as to be covered by the water. Slake the lime in about tho same quantity of water. Then mix the two, and add the remainder of the forty gallons of water. Warm water will dissolve the copper- sulphate more readily than cold water. If the lime is at all dirty strain the limo solution.

FOURTH JULY EXCURSION

Tho excursion run by the 0. A- R’y Co., to Burlington, Vermont, on Monday of this week was not as largely attended as many expected it would be, but still the cars wore pretty well filled up particularly on the early train on the return trip. About a dozen people from Maxville and the same number from Alexandria as well as a few from Vankleek Hill and Dalkeith were on board and although the train did not arrive in tho pretty city of Burlington on the shores of Lake Champlain until after two o’clock in the afternoon the trip was a most enjoyable one. Among thoss from Alexandria were Dan and Mrs. Me- Gillies, D. R. McDonell, Misses Edith and Teresa McGillivray, Misses Annie and Catherine MePhee and J. Boyle. During the day at Burlington, there was a grand review of troops by Governor Groat, of Vermont. The full regiment of the 43rd Battalion, Cttawa’s crack Corps, the P. L. Dragoon guards and a contingent of the Governor-General’s Fqotguards and Field Battery paraded, but unfortunately those who attended the excursion over tho C. A. R.were too late in arriving to witness the parade. Owing to the many stops on the return trip, the train did not arrive in Alexandria until nearly three o’clock the following morniDg.

RETURNED FROM CAMP

Saturday morning word was received here that No. 3 Company of the 59th Bat- talion of Stormont and Glengarry would arrive homo that evening by the regular westbound train, the result being that a number of our citizens wended their way to the station, and by their presence and tho enthusiasm displayed, gave the“boys in red” a reception that was fully appreciated. Mr. Aleck Neil McLeod, official piper of No. 3 Company, was at the station early and graciously rendered a few selections on tho pipes in his own inimitable way, which went far to make the time pass pleasantly before the arrival of the train. After the train steamed in, little time was lost in having the company form up, under the command of Captain G. I. Nichols and Lieuts. Hearnden and Macdonald. With a view of making the entry into the town, in everyway a memorable one, the officers had brought with ' the company Pipe Major McKenzio and Sergeant \Vm. Cromb,of the Independent Pipe Band of Montreal, both of whom were in kilts. The march to town was by Bishop, St. George and Main Sts., the men marching in fours headed by the pipers, the company’s piper, A. N. McLeod, in the centre. The marching of the men, to the elegant and stirring music supplied by the trio of pipers, their equal it would be difficult to find, v.‘as capital, and spoke volumes for the work done in camp. On arrival on the Mill Square, Captain Nichols halted his men and put them through the manual exercise and several formations, all of which were done with credit to the men and thc'ir instructor. They were then marched to the Armory, where the arms and accoutrements were handed in, after which they were dismissed. We learn with satisfaction that for size and physique, No. 3 Company lead the van, and also that their lino of tents was looked upon this year as last year, to be the most orderly one. The officers of our local company speak iu the highest terms of the men under their command and naturally feel proud of ueing at the head of tho smartest company in the battalion.

Despite the fact that for some days pre- vious to the 1st of July there was an almost daily down-pour of rain, tlie hopes of the promoters of the celebration held here on that day never once fell, but always looked for the beat and they were not disappoint- ed. The weather had cleared just soon enough to leave the roads in first rate con- dition, and on Dominion Day itself, not- withstanding tho fact that Old Sol kept himself all day in evidence, there was also a delightful and refreshing breeze, and this combination of conditions made everybody feel that the weather must have been in- tended especially for the occasion.

At an early hour people from the sur- rounding country began to come in and about town all was bustle and anxiety in completing every preparation for the day’s proceedings. In tho morning the C. A.station was the centro of attraction, as it was from that point that the procession, headed by the Royal Scot’s Band, who were to arrive by the 9.40 a.m. train, was to start. Alex- andria for some hours seemed very much like a prairie town, for hero and there on horse back could be se'^n Indians in all tho glory of their war paint and Cowboys, whose devil-may-care driving astonished everybody. At tho station, for some time before the train arrived, besides the specta- tors, tho Cowboys and the Indians, were a number of rigs in which wero seated thoso who later on took part in tho Cake-Walk. On the arrival of the train the Royal Scot’s Baud headed the parade, which came down Main St. through the town and went to the Fair Grounds, where the Cako-Walkers amused the audience to music by the band. All dispersed then until after the noon hour when the gates were thrown open and people began to crowd in.

The first feature of interest was tha rob- bing of the Deadwood mail coach by In- dians and the rescue by cowboys of the driver,from being burnt at the stake by the redskins. The scene was a thrilling one and was much appreciated by ths specta- tors. Professor Nolan of Ottawa, with comic southern songs and negro melodies and fanny sayings kept all who he.ard him iu roars of laughter. Jos. Aubrey, as clown, by his mimicking filled his role to perfection.

The athletic contests were next on tho X^rogramme and resulted as follows ;

Bicycle race, 3 miles, 1 L C Leroux, 2 W J Munro.

Bicycle race, 2 miles, 1 L C Leroux, 2 W J Munro.

100 yards dash, 1 J Corbett, 2 Alcide Laurin.

Runniug high jump, 1 J Corbett, 5ft 4in; 2 D Kennedy, 5 ft.

Putting 16 lb shot—1 Duncan McDonell, 28 5th Lochiel, 30ft 7in ; 2 Ranald J Mc- Danald, Lochgarry, 37 ft 8 in.

As there was no hammer on the field it was decided to have tossing the caber in- stead. There were three entries :

1— R. J. McDonald, 35 ft 8 in. 2— W. McNamara, 33 ft 6 in. 3— r-James McDonald, 32 ft 4 in. Boys’ race (under 15)—1 Jos. Currier, 2

D. F. McMillan. There were no entries for either the

Highland Fling or Sailors’ Hornpipe in costume, therefore these dances were not carried out.

The most interesting event of the day was, however, the lacrosse match between the Junior Shamrocks, of Montreal, and the Stars, of Alexandria. The match was hard fought and exciting but the visitors were clearly outclassed and from the be- ginning it was evident that their chances of even keeping down their opponents’ score were small. The Shamrocks were first rate stick handlers and played hard but were not strong enough for their opponents. The Stars have often played better lacrosse. They seemed to know they had a cinch and played a loose and careless game, otherwise they might have scored twice as many games as they did. W. A. McCrea acted as referee and R McKinnon,of Mont- real, and J. J. McDougall, of this place, as umpires, all fulfilling their duties with the strictest impartiality and to the satisfac- tion of both teams.

people left the field well pleased with the day’s celebration. The refreshment bootlis and the lunch counter wore well patronized during the day, while in the Agricultural Hall hundreds of lads and lassies tripped tho light fantastic with evident enjoyment, the music which was A1 being supplied by McCormick Bros., of this place, and Camp- bell and Grant, of Lochgarry. The Cine- mathographe] also proved an attraction and was a source of considerable amuse- ment to those who witnessed it.. To those who carried out the j)^©P^ratioDS for the demonstration is due the greatest credit for the completeness of all details and it is safe to say that of the 1,500 people who attended the celebration none went away dissatisfied.

The concert in tho evening was one of the beat ever given in Alexander Hall. Tho attendance was large and the audience a thoroughly appreciative one. The cake walk was one of the most prominent features and one that thoroughly pleased the audience. Five couples tcok part and the judges, J. R. Proctor, W. J. Simpson and C. J* Sparrow, decided to award the- enke to J. A. McMillan and D. A. McDon- ald. W. Dease as master of ceremonies conld not be excelled. The decision of the judges met with the approval of the audience. The singing of God Save the Queen brought to a close one of Alexan- dria’s red letter days, in tho way of a successful celebration and entertainment.

The ransical part of the programme being famished by Miss Jennie M Kennedy, Apple Hill, and Myrtle McVeigh, Ottawa, both of which were well received. A num- ber of selections were also given on the gramaphone. The entertainment was one of the best ever given in Maxville, being carriedout without a hitch,oach onoperform- ing bis or her part with precision, notwith- standing that it takes considerable skill to give a true representation in a number of the characters.

or in the ôn,aving that pong the officers who had been t. j.t. 'Ti,. provisionally appointed some time ago and everything up-to-date. The event was well advertised and this along with tho many attractions and North Lancaster’s reputa- tion for the carrying out of most enjoyable and successful celebrations and picnics could not fail to attract pleasure seekers by the thousand.

The crowd began to arrive at an early hour and before 11 o’clock fully 2000 people were present to see the grand calithumpian procession. In all twenty carriages marshal- ed by a squad of a Pachee Indians, moved to the music of Prof. Fleck’s band. Of the twenty carriages it is difficult to say which was the best, each and every part was well carried out, all are equally deserving of praise. Tho crowd saw in tho first carri- ages six representatives of New York’s Four Hundred. Tho clown and Miss Prim gaye some fancy step dancing while aunt Susan taught the ladies how to knit. The U. 8. Man of War “Indiana,” “was well made and well manned, and the City Sweir’employed a novel butsure method of dealing with that pest—the potatoe bug. The prairie saloon scene was well carried out and was followed by an old fashioned bee hive filled with a young swarm of Maccabees.

About one o'clock the crowd now between three and four thousand, proceeded to the park where dancing platforms had been erected. By two o’clock when the racing started over three thousand five hundred persons were on the grounds. While the number of entries was not large the events were ail keenly contested. Tho free for all trot was particularly exciting. Fast time was made in all races, 2.23 which appears to be the fastest ever made in Glengarry, was the fastest feat of free for all.

Following is a list of races :
