LECTURE. Lieut.. f. G. Schwatka will
deliver lecture for the benefit of the st.
Helen's Society, at Marshs Hall, this
Thursday evening Feb. |. Subject: "Some
account of my arctic explorations. Serb
ners Monthly Magazine says: "The sledge
journey and search made by Lieut.. Schwat-
ka's expedition constitute one of the most
remarkable trips ever achieved" The Rev.
DR.. Talmage, at Brooklyn Tabernacle, Oct.
80, 1880, said: Last evening at CHECKER
ing hall Lieut.. Schwatka was greeted by a
large audience, which listened with wonder
and delight as this last explorer of the polar
regions related his astounding experience
while in the Arctic seas. All
honor to Lieut.. Schwatka and his gallant
party These are the men who encountered
the sharp spears of Arctic ice. The story
of their endurance, sufferings and heroism,
as told by Lieut.. Schwatka, is wonderful
one. 1t is the poetry of icebergs, the canto
of eternal winters. Whatever has remained
in doubt as to the fate of Franklin and his
men in 1916, has never been satisfactorily
explained until now. And what picture!
Was ever its parallel presented to the hu-
man understanding? Sarcophagi of ice!
Graves Of ice! Monuments Of ice! Tenn
Piles of ice Westminster Abbeys of ice!
How terribly and overwhelmingly sublime!
Well may England and America
honor Lieut. Schwatka or his return from
an expedition in which he penetrated two
degrees further north than any other ex-
plorer who preceded him, and who has for
ever settled the doubt about Franklin and
his men,"

Col. +. d. Baker, Chief Quartermaster of
the Department of the Columbia, died on
Thursday, of On apoplectic attack at his
residence on the reservation. He had been
seriously sick for day or two only. On Fri
day he was buried with military hsnors, in
the cemetery on the grounds. The military
procession formed at his residence, from
whence it proceeded to st. Luke's church.
accompanied by the guard OF honor and the
full battalion under arms. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by the Rev. a. s.
Nicholson. His address was as follows:
The sad occasion which has called us to.
gether to-day is not one for eulogy or even
extended remarks on the life and services of
the late Colonel Baker. He was the son of
General Edward ID. Baker, who was killed
at Balls Bluff in 1861. General Baker, the
father of the deceased was man oI singular
eloquence and magnetic power. He Was for
several terms a member of the lower house
of the congress of the United States, from
the State of Illinois, and at the time of his
death was senator from the State Of Ore
gon. The son was born September 18th,
1910, and inherited many of the character
istics OF the father. He was an impulsive, a
generous, "A large man. His friends
were many and steadfast. Indeed it would
be difficult to find nan who had been
brought in close relations with Col. Baker,
who was not his friend. His generosity was
proverbal and his natural kindness Of heart
l0d him always to view men aud measures
from the side of charity. Col. Baker entered
the army in May, 1861, as Lieutenant in the
4th Cavalry, and was for some time Adju-
tant of his regiment. In 1868 he was APP
pointed Quartermastsr with the rank Of
Captain, and was advanced to the rank of
Major in 1879. At the time of his death he
was the Chief Quartermaster of the Depart.
ment Of the Columbia. Active, energetic
and intelligent in the performance of his du.
ties he was an efficient and valuable officer
in all cases Of emergency. Let us lay him
tenderly in the Military Cemetery by the
side OF comrades who have entered before
him the dark valley of the shadow of death.
The lesson which this instance of mortality
teaches us, is the uncertainty of life and the
certainty Of death. We lay eur friends, one
by one. in the silent tomb; we shed the
sympathetic tear, we 60 on eur way waiting
our turn when We shall lay our bodies side

Of our deceased friend. that we may present

ia the sight Of God and man, and be remem-
bsred with as kind aud generous sympathy
by those who are called upon to lay us in
cur silent resting place.
At the close Of tho address the coffin was
borne from the church, placed in the hearse,
and taken to the cemetery, deposited in its
resting place, and then three volleys were
fired ever the grave Of one Of the biggest
hearted men in the United States Army.

GENTs:-Whoever, you are don't
know; but l thank the Lord and
feel grateful to you to know that in
this world of adulterated medicines
there is one compound that proves
and does all it advertises to do, and
more. Four years ago I had slight
shock Of palsy, which unnerved me
to such an extent that the least ex-
element would make me shake like
the ague. Last May l was induced
to try Hop Bitters. I used one
bottle, but did not see any change;
another did so change my nerves
that they are now as steady as thev
ever were. 1t used to take both
hands to write, but now my good
right hand writes this. Now, if
you continue to manufacture as
honest and good an article as you do,
you will accumulate an honest for
tune, and confer the greatest bless
ing on your fellow-men that was
ever conferred on mankind.

Orange Murders.

St. Johns, N.F., 81. = Advices
from Harbor Grace state that an
Orange procession yesterday, while
passing Ships Head, was fred upon
by a crowd. At first the Orange
men thought the firing was from
powder guns carried by their
friends, until they saw their men
fall. Four men were killed-twO
Orangemen and two Roman
Catholics. Eight are reported NOR
tally and eighteen to twenty slightly
wounded. Head Constable Doyle
was among the wounde d. There is
a lull in the outbreak at Harbor
Grace, but the neighboring town of
Carbonear is in a state Of the Wild
est frenzy. Over 1000 men
are parading the streets and
preparing to march to Harbor
Grace. Crowds are hdrrying up
from the whole extent of North
Conception Bay to the scene Of the
disturbance. All business places
are closed and most private dwell
ings are protected by bars and bolts.
The police dispatched from st.
Johns reached Harbor Grace last
night. If the riot breaks out anew,
the law officers will be powerless to
protect life and property. 1t is ru-
mored that the government has
cabled to Halifax for troops and a
war ship. If the Ca~bOnier contin-
gent marches to Harbor Grace, the
result will be terrible to cOntem-
