the use of his daughters photograph
for advertising purposes by cigarette

their ware. Exactly how this let's the

to be quite as grievous an offense to
make an unauthorized use of lady's

there is no legal redress Mr.. Halford

usually be reached with cane or a

HERE are two classes of LAWYERS in
England, one being called barlisters
the other attorneys. When case Is

1t from the client gets up the evidence
and prepares the papers in short, does
all the work necessary to bring it into
court. There the attorney retains a
barrister to conduct the case in court.
Hence, baristers rank higher than at,
torneys. We often see the letters Q. c..
written after the name of barristcr.
The title, queens counsel, for which
the letters stand, is an honorary one,
given to an eminent practitioner at the
bar. One assessing it is entitled to
wear silk gown. A queens counsel
can not act as junior counsel in case
and as lie can lot always be the leader
he sometimes finds his title an incon.
venience. The judges in England ar.
chosen from queens counsel.

ONE LITTLE WORD.

One little moment spent in strife,
One bhghting lightning fash;
Vet for that word, through dreary years.
One shall regret with bitter tears.

Tomorrow finds one grief-struck heart
And one cold form robed for the grave.
And memory, with his wild regret
Still bemts tho one who would forget.

LoNDON,s GREAT STRIKE.
The Strikers Refuse to Accept the Terms
offered BY the Dock Companies.

The Strikers Refuse to Accept the Terms
offered BY the Dock Companies.
LONDON, Sept. S-The lord mayor of London,
Bishop Temple and Cardinal Manning have
written Joint letter in which they recount
the negotiations conducted by them with the
dock companies with a view TO the settlement
of the strike. They expressed surprise at the
strikers Reputation of the terms agreed to by
the dock companies, and declare their opinion
that if the men continue the strike they will
forfeit the sympathy hitherto accorded them.
The strikers held another large meeting in
Hyde park to-day. The proceedings were
orderly. Mr.. Burns in a speech declared it was
a mistake to suppose that he had agreed to the
proposal of the arbitrators. He invited the
strikers to declare whether or not they
would accept the proposal. A loud shout of
"No" went up from the crowd. Mr.. Burns,
continuing, said the strike committee were pre-
pared to hold out for three weeks more, but
he believed the directors of the dock COM
panies would concede the strikers terms before
another week had passed.
Mr.. Tillet visited the lord mayor this even
ing and proposed new terms TO commence in
October. The lord mayor demurred. but prom
ised to use his best endeavors to persuade the
dock directors to agree TO the terms. 1t is
probable that a compromise will soon be ar
ranged or the basis of increased wages begin
ming in November.

have finally been completed whereby the sur

In regard to the above Capt. Wallace Foster
of this city, secretary ard treasurer of the
silent army of the deaf soldiers, sailors and
marine, wrote to the surgeon.general. He re-
ceived reply from which the following is
taken:
Wales sound discs are of use only when there is a
peri ration of the drum OF the ear and probably not
one in a THOUSAND of deafness In pensioners -
e. old cases of desfnessl would be benefited by
them No benefit has been derived from the discs
in any one case in which they have been furnished
from this Office, and to give them any further trial
In the face of knowledge Of their mode OF action
and of the conditions existing in the OF men who
have been deaf for a quarter of century, would be
not only useless, but inadvisable tending TO sug
gest hope Of hearing which would end assuredly in
disappointment Unfortunately item pub
Hshed in the press dispatches stating that arrange
ments had been made by this ofios to furnish Wales
discs to all deaf pensioners. No such arrangement
has been made for already stated, these discs
