The Pin Just Suited Him.

The other day a young man of Will lows, Cal, entered a jewellers store and informed the proprietor that his occupation was that of a carpenter, and he desired to get bosom pin em- blematic of his profession. The oblig- ing jeweler looked over his stock, and finding nothing else, showed him a very fine Masonic pin.
 The young man looked at the pin carefully, "Yes," said he, ''there's the compass and square. use both of them, but why didn't they put saw in? It's first-rate as far as it goes. Hello! there's G there. What does that stand for?'

A DECATUR, Ill, correspondent writes to the Chicago Tribune: "Eli $. Ulery, a graduate of Dr Keeleys institute and the son of wealthy farmer, gave a "jag" dinner party on Thursday at his big farm in Mount Zion Township, which was attended by twenty men of various ages in Decatur, who had been permanently cured of dipsomania at Dwight. 1t was a novel reunion. Each member of the Bichloride of Gold club wore his badge of honor, and after par taking of the turkey dinner, at which there was nothing stronger than coffee and water, several congratulatory speeches were delivered and Dwight "reminiscences exchanged. There has not been a backslider in Decatur; every man is stayer.

estimates that $3.50, 100000 will be
brought to the United States as
the result of the Columbian Expo
sition. What it's estimate is based
on is not explained, but it GER
tainly appears to be extravagant.
A much smaller sum would pay
the country well for the expense of
the great fair, and it may be taken
for granted that smaller sum
will be given. Europe has no such
sum of spending money as the
estimate would indicate.

ANNEXATION rs SERIOUS.

OTTAWA, ONT., Nov. 30.-A surprise
if not sensation was caused here
to-day by an editorial published in
the Journal, paper that has been
recognized as the organ Of the pres
ent government, warning its readers
that annexation is looking serious.
In discussing the question it says:
About 1000 votes out of 1000 were
cast for annexation at the tig meet
ing in Montreal on Monday evening.
On the heels of this comes the news
that the Liberal Association of South
Norfolk, in Ontario, has declared
straight out for annexation. It is
time for Canadians who love their
country above any party to be plain
spoken. This country cannot be
maintained in wholesome entity if
party which has gained power loads
the dice to keep itself there. If the
other party finds that it cannot get
fair play under our constitution some
Of its members are sure to turn long
lngly to the constitution under
which our neighbors live.
The Liberals have been misled.
There was time when no doubt ex-
listed of their loyalty to Canada, and
their leaders should never have given
cause for that doubt, and in measure
their own lack of faith is responsible
for their loss in election after election
of those votes that hold the balance
in power; but still the Liberals have
not had fair play, and it is question
with many in Canada whether they
should be given a trial in power
partly in the hope of giving a needed
lesson to INSCRIPTIONS Conservatives
and partly that term of trust may
wed the Liberals better to the Cana
dian idea and pave the way for re
form of the abuses and excresences
which have gained hold in our policy
of the sort of oligarchy which long
continuance in power has established
in all political affairs.
Are we to hope that the new Con
servative administration will fight
more fairly than its predecessors Are
we to hope that it will overhaul our
customs tariff with an honest deter
mination to reduce the burdens that
press most heavily on our heads?
Are we to hope that either it will
secure more profitable terms of in
ter-imperial trade, or else prepare to
cut loose from the Empire altogether
and hoe our own to the best advant-
age whatever we can? Are we to
hope that this country's opportu-
mites and resources will be so
handled as TO secure the influx
of population and capital which
we ought to get? IF these hopes are
disappointed in the next few years
the Annexationists will be strong
enough to require to be answered by
bayonets.
Ex-Premier Mercier has received
an invitation from Ontario to take
part in the annexation movement,
but he favors the Independence Of
Canada.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Sad Accident.

A full account of the sad acci-
dent to Thos. Dowdell, Chief
Officer of the O. S. S. Alameda, is
embodied In Purser Sutton's mem
oranda of the voyage to be found
in another column. When the
Alameda arrived yesterday morn
ing, the Chief Officer was removed
to the Queens Hospital on a
stretcher borne by natives. The
Second Officer, who is acting Chief
Officer, stated that during the mis-
hap to Mr.. Dowdell, every one was
below. The Third Officer was on
duty with the chief on the bridge,
and that officer described the sea
which landed on the starboard
side and carried Dowdell aft for a
distance of over 100 feet as being
almost mountain high. 1t struck
the vessel with a tremendous force.
The injured officer had been
connected with the Alameda in his
present capacity ever since she
was launched. He is married
man and has two children living
in San Francisco. The sick man
rested comfortably under the cir
cumstances on the voyage up, and
talked freely to his fellow officers.

Sir George Grey and the Phono-
graph.

On November 23d Professor
Archibald, Mr.. Edison's represen-
tative in Australasia, paid visit
by request to Sir George Grey at
his home in Parnell and obtained
two excellent photographic rec
ords of a remarkable speech which
Sir George has addressed to the
English races generally, and to
the Americans in particular, and
which is to be reproduced at the
Columbian Exhibition at Chicago,
whittier Professor Archibald is
about to proceed shortly. The
text of the speech, as recorded on
the phonogram, and copied from
an autograph letter by Sir George
Grey, is as follows -
'For forty-five years I have in
various positions ever striven to
attain two great objects-Firstly,
to hold the British Empire to-
gether, and to secure to it the
power of a just expansion Sec
ondly, I ever strove to preserve
Australia and the islands of the
Pacific for some English-speaking
race, all Europeans to be permit
ted to occupy these vast territories
on equal terms. They were to be
governed by themselves, and to re-
ceive a free education in public
schools in which the English
language was taught. America
and Great Britain and her depend
encies could, under such circum-
stances, enter into one great
federation powerful and peacegiv-
ing to all mankind. Auckland

paper.
Apia is not exactly 4 metropoli-
tan place, and an English news
paper there may count on only
about 120 readers in case the whole
English speaking population read.
This has not prevented one weekly
paper from existing and flourish
ing, and now another, the Weekly
Herald, has come into being. This
is the way it talks:
1--WE would like to say one word to
our German friends. This is an
English paper, and the Anglo Saxon
races have different manners in one
particular from what they have in
Germany. With US, all public per-
sons, from the Queen or the Presi
dent down, have to get criticized in
the papers. They expect it; some of
them like it; those who don't have
just the one defense-they need not
read it. We have the habit of this,
though the Germans haven't. We
can no more help it than we could
write this article IN German. We
have got to speak our mind, Anglo
Saxon fashion, about captains and
consuls, kings and judges, as
they come; and we ask our German
friends to try to understand the diff
ference in manners, and to make an
allowance for it, assuring them at
the same time that we will not go out
of our way to attack anybody, be he
public or be he private. If ever we
criticise anybody here we shall have
good cause, and that will be either
Some cause that lacks assistance, or

not in it. No stipulation has been
made as to freight rates chargeable

that unless they sell to a certain
