furious temper, is unable to longer live with

matter how bloomn' drunk he might a bin the

THE FUTURE OF CANADA.
English Journals Discuss the Possibilities
Of Annexation.

English Journals Discuss the Possibilities
Of Annexation.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-The Standard, referring to
Mr.. Farrer's reply to Sir John Macdonald, says
it is q defens, as curious as it il lame. 1t is
well that the Canadian electors should know
that some members Of the opposition are labor
ing for Canada's absorption into America.
while agreeing with Mr.. Goschen's warning,
that Englishmen can scarcely be expected to
exhibit callous neutrality on this question
and though we would regret the severance. we
would never fire shot to prevent Canada from
annexing herself"
The Times says that in the reign of Queen
Victoria the proper description OF such con-
duct as Fafrers may be doubtful, but in the
reign of Elizabeth Sir John Macdonald's de-
scription would have been held to be accurate
and appropriate. Penalties were not wanting for
such conduct. The Times did not think that
Canada would derive any great advantage from
annexation, and her people ought not allow
themselves to be misled by politicians.

late editor Of the Matrimonial Ne,cs has paid
Miss Gladys Knowles the reduced amount OF
damages, &C, 500 with costs, awarded to her as
result Of her suit against him for breach Of
promise Of marriage On the first trial OF
the suit early last summer Miss Knowles Sc.
cured a verdict for f10, 900 damages. To avoid
payment Of the sum the defendant transferred
his interest in the Matrimonial Ne,cs and fed
to the continent, and afterward de-
clined to accept Miss Knowles proposition to
compromise the matter by paying her 60. 500.
Later Mr.. Duncan went through the bank
ruptcy court. and during the course of his ex-
animation the fact leaked out that he was mar
ried in June to the Hon. Mrs. Whyte Melville,

being excessive, and the court, after due con-
sideration, reduced the amount of damages as

for damages, together with the costs, the
criminal action commenced by Miss Knowles

A SAD CASE.
One Of the Many That the Sanitary Once
has TO Deal With.

One Of the Many That the Sanitary once
has to Deal With.
Sanitary Officer Frank has had large num-
Der of callers during the past few days. In
stead Of the usual number of the lame and the
sick wanting to be sent to the hospital most of
those who called wanted to be sent out Of the
city to their former and prospective future
homes. Very few Of them wanted to 60 south,
the majority asking for transportation to the
north and west.
Among the number were many old persons who
were not strong enough to tramp their way out,
while others were strapping young men who
were not only strong enough to walk out, but
whom the sanitary officer thought should be
made to walk their way out. They were conse-
quently refused unless their excuse was an
exceptionally good one, but the elderly persons
we're sent on their way rejoicing. The first
one to apply for transportation this morning
was an elderly man named Hines who told such
pitiful story that tine sanitary officer provided
him with u railroad ticket. The old man was
paralyzed TO such an extent that he was
almost helpless. Five years ago he was para
lyzed and left his home in Portland, Me-, and
went to the hot springs, hoping to get cured.
His condition improved. and before his money
was gone he started for the south and finally
north ~ Richmond. When he reached there
his funds were 90 nearly exhausted that he
could not pay his way much farther, and he
opened . peanut and fruit stapd. He was
doing pretty good business and his prospects
home in Portland wore very bright until ono
night whsn burglars visited his stand and stole
everything he had, including his stock, clothing
and money, and be Wa left without more than
enough money TO feed him two or three days.
Aftor losing what little he had the unfOrtu-
nate man started to walk 10 this city, and was
eight days on the road. When the wsather was
bad he aid he asked for lodgings in the
country, but when the weather was good he
spent his nights In the woods.
Last night he reached hsre and was sccomo-

Character Letters" on Bank Notes.
"Let me give you few points on the best
way to detect counterfeit note" says an au-
thority on the subject in the Boston Transcript.
Experts don't judge 30 much by the appear
ance of the bill as they do by its feel that ia,
by the way it slips through the fingers but il
takes years Of experience to acquire the neces
sary fine touch and even then il is not always
reliable. Every bill is lettered and numbered
and there is a connection between the num-
bers and the letters which is made in such q
way that when You know about it you can
tell genuine bill almost at glance. What are
known as the character letters of bill are
placed on either side of the central figure or
vignette and are A, B. G and ID only. The let
tiers stamped in colors before and after the
numbers have nothing to do with the case
So far as detecting q counterfeit goes, but
those engraved on the bill in the places
mentioned are rightly named character let
the numbers, to show Il the bin is
genuine. Now suppose you have . bill
numbered 12922s26. The character let
ter on such bin should be B. why2 n you
take the last two figures, which are s. and di-
vide them BY 4 you viii have 9 remainder Of 2:
the remainder after dividing the last two figures
by must in every case be that represented BY
the numerical position Of the first four letters
Of the alphabet That ID, when one 10 left over
be B; 8 over should be G, and when there IL no
remainder the letter should Be d. When this
rule fails 10 work on any bill you come across
you can bet - many more - you can raise that
the bill b counterfeit. It's rather strange,
but it's still another fact that the countsrfsiters
have not caught ON 70 this little scheme Of
Uncle Sans currency sharps and that they slap
In their letter. and numbers without any re-
gard 70 the relation that ought TO be between
