COME TO A HALT.
Work Stopped for Two Years on the
Canadian Pacific.


WINNIPEG, Oct. 27.-Fear has been
expressed that the Canadian Pacific
would not be able to find a practical
crossing over the Selkirk range of the
Rockies, through Kicking Horse pass.
No effort nor expense to secure the
shortest and best route across the
mountain has been spared by the
company, as it IS well known the COM
pany has been at enormous cost keep
ing engineers in the Rockies for two
years making surveys and explora-
tons with views of securing the best
route. At this late hour, when the
track has been laid far up the
Bow river pass, to within thirty
five miles or so of the summit
it has been discovered that after ali
it may be impossible to cross
via Kicking Horse pass. Engineers
are on the work in dispute. Some
claim that it is impossible to 90 that
way and avoid the crossing Of the
range by Horne's pass. In order to
go via Hornes pass it will be neces-
sary to deviate considerably, and to
do so seven or eight miles of track al
ready laid would have to be lifted.
The engineers could not come to any
agreement, so they were all called in.
and the matter was laid before the
general manager and other officials.
When it was seen there was but little
prospect of an agreement among the
engineers on one route, and serious
consequences might result by
further prosecuting work this season,
when 1t was not definitely
known that pass was feasible, it was
deemed best to stop all work for two
years, and orders were accordingly
sent out to that effect. In the mean
time, the most efficient engineers will
be put to work to ascertain the best
route. Several hundred laborers
came to this city last night. They
state that all the workmen, between
4, 900 and 5000 in number, have been
dismissed Work on all sub-con-
tracts, many of which were let quite
recently, has also been stopped
Many workmen had been led
to expect that they would be
given work i'll the winter, in
consequence Of the heavy work in the
mountains. 1t is expected that two
hundred will arri~e daily until the
entire number is brought here. The
majority belong to the states and will
proceed there. All will go to ST. Paul
first and many will remain there.
The company furnished the men with
passes from the mountains to Winnie
peg. Arrangements have been made
with the Manitoba read whereby the
men will be forwarded to st. Paul at
s. each.

An Insane Mans Death

WARRENToN, Mo, Oct. ga mild
ly insane man, named Keeney, was
placed in a large room adjoiding the
jail under the courthouse by the au-
thoritoes who had taken him out of
the wet and cold. While the jailer
was at supper screams attracted peo-
pie to the window, when they saw
Keeny in his frenzy hugging red
hot stove. He was taken away, but
death soon relieved his sufferings.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 27.-This evening,

Lawrence Barrett's Success.

New YORK, Oct. 27.-Lawrence
Barrett brought to q close tonight, at
the Star theatre, an engagement of
nine weeks. His manager says, the
average receipts each night was 81,
200. AS Mr.. Barrett receives fifty per
cent. of this sum, his earning must
be on the border of $40, 900. At the
close of the scene on grand square of
Remini, " Barrett acknowledged the
many calls, and came before the cur
tein, or rather it was raised for him
When the applause welcoming him
ceased, Barrett said: This venture
was entirely his own. That Mr.. Lester
Wallack, brother actor, had done
for him and the plays much more
than he (Wallack) had promised.
Speaking of the press people and him
self, Barrett said: ''To all [ return
an artists thanks, an artist who has
Iabored, perhaps unsuccessfully, to
make himself prominent in assisting
and forwarding the literature
of his country, and is proud of
being an American in every sense
of the word. Before I shall have the
happiness of coming before you again
I shall appear before foreign audi
ences. What the result may be no one
can tell; but I feel full of hope. I trust
in connection with this you will par
don me if [ make few remarks con-
corning my friend Henry Irving,
England's distinguished artist. He
will be supported by eminent artists
from the
LYCEUNI THEATRE COMPANY.
While our own Mary Anderson is
playing on his stage with great
success, | trust lie will meet here
with the liberal and cordial support
due to his merit as an actor, and in
recognition of what he has done for
art Of which [ have the honor to be a
member, and that you will receive
and extend to him the liberal support
due to an artist of such celebrity and
distinction.
Speaking again of himself Mr., Bar
rett said
81 have been your servant for a
quarter of century, and have been
associated with the drama since the
first appearance of Americas great
est actor-one of tue greatest
actors in the world-Mr. Edwin Booth.
Were [ to attempt to tell you
all [ feel on this present occasion, I
should be undertaking a task which [
could not fulfill, which you have not
probably patience to hear. When Fay
foreign engagement is concluded, [
shall return to you with anxiety and
happiness. This is to be my home.

Correspondents Farm and Garden.
That tomato plants in the same hill with
squashes, cucumbers and pumpkins will not
keep off the bugs. That an application of
ar-slacked lime will not keep bugs away
from vines, cabbage plants, radishes, turnips
or egg plants. That saltpetre water will not
accomplish anything i'll that line That coal
oil for that purpose is also a failure That
good application, repeated three times, of
reasonably strong liquid manure does we'll,
and that an application of fine sulphur
sprinkled over the plants and vines will
greatly help in getting rid of these pests.
That reasonable application of wood ashes
is very beneficial in garden. But that it is
comp paratively an easy matter to make the
application too strong, especially if the ashes
are unleached. That it is useless to plant
sweet corn before the ground gets warm as
we'll as the weather, as corn planted three
weeks later will come to maturity just as
quick with the same soil and cultivation.
That there is very decided advantage
in good sound quick-germinating seed
corn, and this will be evident
from the time the corn begins to sprout un-
til it natures. That peas will not do as
we'll on new, rich ground as on old. That
can raise more and better lima beans by
planting in row, the plants six inches,
than in hills with three or four beans III a
hill. That it pays TO soak sorghum seed
twenty -four hours in water before planting.
That tomato vines grow faster and blossom
quicker if little manure is worked into the
hills than if set out without.

Agricultural Economies.

New York Tribune.
The profit of the future is to come in avoid
ance of wastes of the farm. As the country
grows older, land dearer and immigration
heavier, competition wakes tiercer in all ag-
ricultural production. A ruinous share Of
the hay is lost, first, in cutting when ripened
to woodiness or dried to hardened stems;
then In giving it out to sustain life and ami
NAL heat rather than for fat and flesh. Corn
is also thrown away by insufficient or inju-
dicious feeding There is enormous loss by
keeping poor COW that yields 300 gallons
OF milk per annum instead of one that pro-
duces 600 at about the same cost One may
bring the owner in debt while the other af-
fords handsome profit on the expense OF
keeping. A COW that gives milk only from
April to November, and runs dry when for
age is costly and milk is dear, should have a
few months extra feeding and so to the
butcher as soon as possible. That a cow is
dry for more than six weeks is the fault of
the owner in not procuring "the survival of
the fittest," and again, perhaps, in not pro
curing ample and succulent food at all sea-
sons while the milk habit of the young COW
is forming. The loss in milk and meat by
irregular feed and change from fresh pas
lures to a straw stack and coarse hay during
an incle ment season, is an irreparable waste
which is projected into the succeeding sum-
mer without regard to the abundance of Its
pasture.
The losses from negligence or want of skill
in the preparation for market, the manipula-
ton or manufacture from raw material, is
enormous Milk of the same quality, OF the
same cost, makes butter at fifteen cents and
at half dollar a pound Mixed fruits sell in
market at half the value of assorted samples
neatly put up. The pig products OF a famous
Massachusetts, farm are disposed OF in New
York city at twentythree cents Skill,
taste neatness, and a well-earned reputation
for reliable excellence get the highest re
wards-giYe better dividends than the capital
and labor represented in the product on
which they are expended. There is solid
money in these intangible valuables. But
the wastes that may be avoided are numer-
GUS in every department of agricultural
practice, and cannot be limited at in a para
graph They are illustrated in the differing
costs and selling prices of the products of
adjoining farms in every neighborhood of the
land.

Almost all farmers are overstocked with
horses, They keep too many to do the work
that will pay for doing. What they 40 keep
are not often the best. A poor work team
makes every farm operation more expensive
besides often delaying seeding until the
crop is rendered very doubtful. 1t is almost
impossible to do good farming with poor
horses. But when five or six horses are kept
the year through to do the work that should
be done by two or three when two men are
paid wages and boarded to do the team
work that should be done by one it is easy
to see that whatever is gained by grain grow
ing is more than lost before the grain can be
realized in money,

specimens from the most noted American
artists, and delightful and attractive work as
need be desired.
The exhibit will include over three hundred
and fifty oils and water-eoOrs, and more than
hundred examples of black and white. in max
ing the selections quality has been chiefly re.
garded and the collection contains the gems of
galleries and art studiOs.
A large number of pictures are furnished by
owners and artists of this city. Many of these
are OF great merit. Others take up space that
last, however, are few in number, and perhaps
will serve good purpose by heightening the
effect of the better pictures by contrast.

space has been taken up to the best possible adj
