THE HELABRADoR CANARD.

Happily there is now good reason to be-
lieve that the reports regarding the
wholesale starving of people in Lab
rador are pure fabrications. While
this is, of course, very welcome in
telligence, no condemnation can be too
strong for the persons who originated the
heartrending stories. Charity is inclined
to be suspicious enough and trifling with it
in this manner is not calculated to make it
any more warm-hearted and generous. The
cry of ''Wolf," 'Wolf' when there is no
wolf may come once too often. and when
the real emergency does appear. there may
be dilatoriness in providing relief which
will prove of incalculabe harm. If. as
seems probable, the starvation stories are
the work of sensational and dishonest cor
respondents, the guilty persons should be
hunted down. Such an imposture is in no
sense journalism, and no reputable paper
should recognize the perpetrators of it.
The Canadian government owes it both to
itself and to the American people. who
have always been responsive to any cry for
relief from whatever source it might come,
to investigate fully the condition of +h.

Madrid Letter in Paris Gaulois:
There was great bull fight at Aran-
juez yesterday which was attended by 1000
citizens of Madrid. The chief attraction
was Lagartijo, the greatest of bull-hghters,
who, after the performance. was feted at
great banquet at which 400 of the most dis

IN Seville, in the celebrated Triana faulOng.
She is the daughter of poor parents. She

AraOel, Alcala and Guadaira, and brought
down her furious antagonist every time.
This year she has also killed several bulls at

The Chicago Chinese ut the Graves
OF Their Dead.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Ten carriage loads
to-day to hold picnic over the graves of
their few deceased friends and relatives
who are buried there in the same grave
yard with thousands of Caucasian
cQrpses of high and low degree.
The first day of August of each year has
been set apart as a sort OF anniversary, by
the Chicago Chinese, and is vigorously OBJ
served. The ten carriages were i'll line
early In the afternoon in front of Hip
Longs store on Madison street. near Fifth
avenue. In front of the store was crowd
OF chattering Cinnamon. Around on
La Sale street two Cinnamon in
the buggy with the lines wrong side to-
pulled up near red express wagon, to
which was attached a white horse. The
wagon was loaded with delicacies, which
were to be left on the graves of the dead
at Rose Hill. There was every
thing that the live Christian
dotes on; roast duck. roast pig,
fruits, nuts. cakes candies and any number
OF bright-colored tapers and joss sticks
The two Cinnamon in the buggy led the
way, and the driver Of the red wagon fol-
lowed them to Rose hill. After them
came ten carriages led by a
hack drawn by two snow
white horses, driven by red-h handed hack
man. wearing gorgeous livery suit with
brass buttons and silk hat ornamented by
coachman's rosette on the side.
At the cemetery the ceremonies
are very short. The dainties were spread
in little heaps on the graves, joss sticks
We're planted in the sod few supplica-
tons to the Deties were muttered and then
the Cinnamon proceeded to enjoy them
selves. They smoked, told stories, and
diSported themselves general ly.

AN AG1rArEp COMMUNITY.

Once upon time goose was the savior
of Rome, but it remained for a cat to gain
the distinction of destroying the peace of a
great metropolis. A large section of New
York and one of the most fashionable parts
of the city, is all torn up over cat incident.
Miss HANNAH MILLER is the name of
respectable spinster who is the owner Of an
ample fortune with which to crafty her
whims. Like most elderly maiden ladies,
Miss MILLER has a hobby. She is fond of
cats and she keeps great number of them.
Her neighborS, as neighborS are apt to do
object to the lady's pets. They have used
arguments of all sorts trying to persuade the
good old lady to give up her pets, but
she has been very obstinate and refuses to
turn her feline protegeS over to the tender
mercies of cruel and cat-killing world.
Consequently the neighborS have had to ap-
peal to the municipal courts for protection.
A decree nisi has been issued by the court
directing that the cats on hand be expelled
from the lady's premises and an injunction
awarded restraining the defendant from
harboring any more cats. Miss MILLER's
attachment for her pets is stronger than
her reverence for judicial DEGREES, and she
refuses to obey the mandates of the court
Feeling it his duty to protect the dignity
Of the court, the judge imposes fines on
Miss MILLER for her disobedience. AS the
lady has ample wealth, and no one depend
ent on her except her cats. she makes out a
$50 check regularly each morning and sends
it around to the court as payment in ad-
vance of the fine which is expected to be
assessed against her that day. Her daily
contributions swell the city treasury, but
that doesn't abate the cat nuisance in
the neighborhood. The nightly serenades
still go on and there is not more enraged
and apparently outraged community in the
world than that part of New York society
in the neighborhood of Pleasant avenue and
One Hundred and Twenty-second street.
Miss MILLER says that cats are her fa-
vorites because they are prosecuted like
old maids, and she thinks it her duty to ex-
tend to them her sympathy and protection.
She is Christian woman and treats cats
In a Christian manner, not only showing
kindness to those of her own household but
likewise to the stranger cats that come
within her gates. No tramp cat ever came
to her door and went away hungry. She
has built house in her yard expressly for
the accommodation of poor cats on
stormy nights who have no home.
In her kindness of heart she provides a ban
quet at a certain hour each day to which all
the cats of the city are extended welcome
And they generally come. She also keeps
cat intelligence office in connection with
her establishment. where cats of all kinds
can be had upon application. She also has
kitten orphan asylum and takes it upon
herself to go out and hunt good homes for
her innocent little feline orphans. Her
neighbors speak very tenderly of the good
old lady's kindness to the animals, but con-
inued loss of sleep has exasperated them
to that condition that they declare they will
suppress cat anarchism in that district if
they have to call on the state militia to
do it.

Of which he saves nothing, the average
young man reasons he could not get along

yoke. Despite the testimony OF thrifty

When they are ready they find it too late.
The world. especially the feminine portion
of it, has passed them by and they become

THE MARRIAGE RATE.

Although in many cities the complaint is

hat consequently the number of marriages
las woefully decreased, the same statement
cannot with truth be made regarding St.

THE PERFUME OF TIE ROSE

Who drank the perfume of the first red rose
In Eden, lifting up its regal head?
Not Eve, the pure onel Unto her there came
The odor of the lily, as it said:
ST bow in all my beauty and my grace,
Giving my sweetness gladly unto you.
Who art the queen of all, the wife of man,
The mother of a world. woman true"
Lilith, the white one, plucked a great red
rose,
And, calling Adam softly to he side,
Said: "Drink the odor of flower that lives
More full of love than lilies of your ride
With the scent of roses came, alas!
The knowledge of the beauty of the snake;
Eyes afire with ardor; lips all glorious red;
Bosom white as marble-marble, yet
With snares In every Turing sigh
OF the false heart hidden there
She tempted the man-do you wonder?-
With the gleam of gold in her hair.
Adam, the man, the strong one,
OF the roses first drank the perfume;
And Lilith, the golden-haired serpent,
With their aid led him on to his door.
And so, ever since in the worship
OF women by men who know right
Lilies belong to Ewes daughters,
Red roses to Lilith the white.

Reforms I'm Chilli.

SANTIAGO, Chilli, Aug. Important
reforms are being attempted in Chilli. One
project provides that no senator or deputy
shall be interested in any public contract.
Another is that neither the president nor
any minister shall give an Office to near
relative unless it is proved that he is quail
flied in every respect to hold it. Another
project is being agitated, which is of a
more startling character, and that is that
the president of the republic shall in the
future be elected by a majority of the con-
gress instead of the public The agitation
of this matter is due to the terrible blood
shed in the last elections, when upwards of
forty persons were killed and a large num-
Der wounded. The electric light has been
introduced into Chill and has been placed
in the new theater. Smallpox is making
sad ravages in the republic, particularly in
Santiago, the capital, and it is expected
that vaccination will be made compulsory.
