CANADA AT HE FAB.
New and satisfactory Arrangements Con-
earning the Live Stock Exhibit.


OTTAWA, Ont, May 14-The Execu-
tive COMMISSIONS for Canada has re-
turned from Chicago, where he made
salts factory arrangement regarding the
exhibit of live stock and horses from the
Dominion of Canada at tho Worlds Fair.
The limit of the number of animals for
which the exhibition authorities will
provide has been increased beyond what
was at first awarded.
The Commissioners ascertained that
the exposition authorities will accept all
pedigrees which are accepted in recog-
nized herd books of Canada. Ii is ex-
pected that the United States Govern
ment will admit pure-bred animals for
exhibition purposes duty free on a SINH
lar basis. The Executive Commission
met the Minister of Agriculture for On
Uario, and after some discussion the fol-
lowing basis of mutual action was
agreed upon: .
The Dominion Government is to pay
transportation charges ON all live stock
to Chicago and return where stock does
not change hands; also to provide food
for stock while on exhibition. The On
tario authorities are to defray the cost
of selecting the animals and to provide
a sufficient number Of herdsmen to take
care of the n while on tl o grounds. By
this arrangement the stocEmen viii be
relieved of a large proportion Of the
burden which usually attaches to such
exhibitions. They will, however, have
to assume the risk of sending their ami
mails TO the show or insure them.

Italy Wants to Cut Down Expenses.

BERLIN, May Alt is stated on high
authority that, Notwithstanding the res
olution Of King Humbert and Signor
Giolitti to stand by the Triple alliance,
Italy is seeking to be relieved from some
of the most onerous obligations Of the
Alliance. 1t is said hat Italy is abso-
lutely incapable of keeping up her arma-
ments to their present scale, and that
King Humbert wishes to come to an un-
Outstanding with the German Emperor
with a view to their reduction. The
subject will probably be discussed at a
meeting between the sovereigns in the
course of the summer.

From this it appears that the price,
are lower than in 1880 and 1889, and
higher than in 1890 and 1891, and
about equal to the average for the past
five years. The fact that the Retail
Coal Dealers Association of New
York refused the other day to raise
prices TO consumers, retaining them at
the present figures, S5,25 a ton for
stove coal, is the most conclusive
argument of all in showing that coal
is to he no higher under the new order
of things than under the old.-Ph&'

Putting on Their Thinking Caps

Al the close of the sermon Sunday |
morning Rev Mr.. Wilson read re-
monslrance, which is being circulated !
undenOmiuatiOnally throughout the
nation, against the sale of liquor in the
Columbian Worlds Fair. The action
of granting the sale of liquor in the
Fair was by the local committee of
Chicago. The object is TO make a
strong appeal to the National Commit
tee on the Grounds that the Exposition
is a National an not local matter,
that as the Fair will be attended by
women and children, such a traffic will
be detrimental to both the peace and
morals Of the attendants, aud that it Is
unbeCOming this great country to en-
dOrse anything that tends to poverty
and sorrow a. it does. If their prayer
is not heard aud needed, final appeal
will be- made to Congress.
In bringing the matter before the
| congregation there was some little
confusion in the absense of a definite
/ method as to how the signatures
should be obtained-as to whether it
was better to do it in their seats, on a
table, or at their places of business on
the morrow, responses as to method
having been made at the invitation OF
the preacher.
That of signing a paper where they
sat was informally acted upon. Then
after number had signed another
question sprung up which arrested the
proceedings, viz: whether the signers
should be voters or citizens, and that
raised another question, whether fe'
males were citZens or not, one lady
remarking sOttO UOce that women and
idiots were not citizens nor entitled t.
any of its privileges whore the fran
chise was concerned, This was alsC
gotten over in the same informal way
by having separate distribution to the
ladies who had not already signed al
citizens, the purpose being expressed
to separate the sexes before completing
the paper for transmission.
The object was endorsed and there
were few in the audience who die
, not or wouldn't put their names t
such paper, but as such an Gddend'
to the public worship is always an in
, novation. and finds them withOu
methods, it might be better for sucl
things to come "cut and dried" witt
book, paper and fountain pen.

A Second Fire.

The ringing of the fire bell just at
dark last Thursday called the Hose
Company and number of people to
the residence of Jos. E. Carter, to sup
press fire that had started in the
upper part of his paper store. A simi-
lar call little less than two month
ago was to fire in the same building,
but in the room below. He and his
wOrkmen had been at work preparing
paper aud window curtains, and not
quite finishing at supper time, he had
turned down the lamp suspended from
the ceiling, to finish as soon as he was
done his supper. While he was sit
ting at the table he was notified by his
neighbOrs that the room was on fire.
To get the hose there seemed hardly
to take five miRutes, and the damage
from the fire was trifling, but that to
/ to his paper, having just laid in new
stock, was greater than at the previous
/ fire. The water running through the
! floor saturated and damaged the most
of his stock. 1t is supposed the heat
from the lamp which had no shield
above it, burnt the fastening out and
dropped the burning lamp to the floor
