balling of four of Montrears leading citizens
from membership in the ST. James club, the
swell organization of Montreal One of those
blackballed is Mr.. B. j. Coughlin. The great
est secrecy is maintained over the whole affair,
but 1t is whispered that the sole cause for the
blackballing Is the Irish origin of the appli-

Will be great indignation in Irish circles and
reprisals will probably be made by the Mon
treal hunt club, of which the gentlemen who
have been refused admission to the st. James

The Thoroughly Impartial Grip-Thin-
ming Out the Government Departments.

The influence of the grip is felt in the de-
partments of the government in the increased
number OF employees who are absent on account
OF sickness. At this time of the year there is a
good deal of sickness generally but at present
the proportion of absentees from illness
is greater than during the corresponding
period of last year. All grades of employees are
afflicted, from chiefs of divisions down to mes
sengers. The absence of any kind of discrimi-
nation on the part of the prevailing influenza
is a notable feature of it. 1t seems to recog-
nize no distinctions Of class, condition or age
The government, however, is able to go on in
all its departments and so far the public busi-
ness has been transacted only with some slight
bitches.
At the city post Office the grip still holds full
sway, with no prospect of letting up. Today
IL carriers 5 clerks in the mailing division 5 in
the registry division and 10 in the mailing di-
vision are absent from their posts Of duty.
AT THE HEALTH OFFICE
there is nothing new to be learned abouts the
progress Of the grip in this city, although one
of the clerks is absent today, presumably with
that disease. There have been no deaths re-
ported from pneumonia or other pulmonary
complaints within the last forty-eight hours.
and it is hoped that the present colder clear
weather may do something toward stopping the
spread of the disease. The hoalth officials say
il the temperature had fallen to twenty de-
grees it would be of the greatest benefit, but
as it is the change OF weather may be Of con-
siderable service.
sIxTY-Two SICK POLICEMEN.
There are 81 Of the police force on the sick
list today, of which Is are in the eighth pre-
cinct and 10 in the second. Capt. Austin, In
spector Swindells, Lieuts. Vernon and Gessford.
Sergts. Bull, Robey, Myers aud Barry are in
cluded in the list.
Maj. Moore, after complaining for two or
three days, was forced to 60 home about /
o'clock today, leaving the headquarters in
charge of Detective Mattingly and Chief Clerk
Sylvester.

The experiences of the fire marshal
with the Polish Jews who have piled
their trade in this city have often been
amusing enough. Their first refuge in
being examined is TO feign an ignorance
of any language in which they may be
addressed. One man brought his wife
TO the office in answer TO the summons
of the marshal, but assured the latter
she could not speak English, nor vet
Polish, nor Hebrew. Being forced to
own that she did speak something she
admitted with reluctance that she knew
a little German, and in this tongue the
marshal began his examination. In a
moment when the woman was of her
guard he had recourse TO an old and
simple but effective ruse.
lis that n mouse under your chair
he asked suddenly.
The fat old Jewess jumped from her
scat with shrek that would have done
credit to a locomotive, proving that even
a wicked old hag like herself was still a
woman where mice were concerned.
Then you do understand English?
the marshal said blandly.
