Thanks to the Lord. XII

ST. PAUL, Mimi, October, 1899.
recently had the opportunity Of testing the
celebrated Pastor koenig's Nerve Tonic in
very severe case. A poor widow to whom I have
frequently given aid and assistance in my
capacity as City Missionary, sent her 12-year-old
daughter to me one evening to procure neces-
sary aid while she was relating her destitution
and stating that her mother was now nearly to-
tally blind, the poor child suddenly fell into an
epileptic fit. I gave her two bottles of your
medicine, and the girl is now well and happy,
and the support of her aged mother. The Lord
be thanked! think that such @ case as this
rebounds to your honor and to the glory OF Him
above, who has given you the knowledge to PRE-
pare such blessing for suffering humanity.

THE CANAL COMPLICATIONS.
Collection OF Tolls From Canadian Vessel
May Be Ordered.

dispatch received at Ottawa from Washing
ton says that President Harrison will not issue
any proclamation putting Into operation the
statute authorizing him to impose tolls upon
foreign vessels using the Sault Ste Marie canal,
but will simply order his officials to collect the
tolls. This will give the owners of Canadian
lake shipping no warning whatever. The first
notice they will get Of the initiation Of the new
order Of things will be the stoppagc of their
vessels at the entrance Of the Sault Ste Marie
canal.
Owners Of lake vessels say that the Canadian
canal around st. Msry's falls will not be COM
pleted for two years, and that II the canal on
the Michigan side Of the river is closed against
Canadian vessels during that period there will
be no Canadian shipping to use the new canal.
as vessel owners cannot afford to have their
craft lying idle for two years. The closing of
the American canal, therefore, means the ex-
tinction OF Canadian shipping on Lake Supe-
rior.
The talk about Canada retaliating by shutting
American vessels out of the welland canal is
nonsense Says special to the New York Times:
Canada has no power to violate treaty engage
ments entered into by Great Britain and the
United States, and the use of the Welland canal
to American vessels is guaranteed by the treaty
of Washington. The dominion can get out of
the existing difficulty either by declaring the St.
Lawrence and Welland canals free to everybody
or by imposing full tolls upon all vessels and
cargoes using them.
The government has sacrificed some revenue
by the rebate system, but it is questionable
whether the producers of grain or the taxpayers
OF Canada who are taxed to build and maintain
canals, get any advantage from the system. A
rebate In itself suggests deception and sharp
practice. The grain, upon which rebates OF
canal tolls are allowed is for the most part
grown in the United States
The dominion commissioner Of inland rev.
enue, MIR. Mail. who has made study of the
whole canal tolls question. has frequently de-
clared, in his reports to the government. that
the system Of refunding canal tolls upon grain
cargoes involves a loss Of revenue to the domin.
ion without attracting any additional business
to the st. Lawrence route,

Consul Ryder's Case.

At the State Department it is said that the
reports from Europe in connection with the ar.
rest Of Consul Ryder at Copenhagen contain in
accuracies.
The American minister, Mr.. Carr, has never
reported to the department that Mr. Ryder wal
guilty of the charges. nor has he ever recon-
mended his recall. He did not report that the
Danish government had made an ex-parte in.
vestigation Of the charge Of the claimants and
had suggested that il the government Of the
United Stats desired to transfer Mr. RYDER &c
some other post the prosecution would not BE-
instituted in the courts.
The State Department replied that the consul
should be submitted to a legal trial and abide
the judgment of the court
1t is stated that the charges against Mr.. Ryder
have been greatly exaggerated in the European
press, and some of them are known by the de-
partment to be unfounded. He has been for
many years in the consular service of the United
States. was a gallant soldier and is now suffer-
ing from wound receired in the civil war.
While the department did not feel warranted in
Withdrawing him from the post under the cir
cumstances or evadirg the results of a legal in
vestigation, his past record called for a suspen-
sion of public judgment till the pending trial
was concluded.

A Party Of Young People Tell of Fright
full Experiences with . Big Serpent.

Party Of Young People Tell Of Fright
full Experiences with . Big Serpent.
Some young people Of Ha vsna. III, persist in
telling Of a frightful experience they had last
Sunday afternoon while rowing on thompson g
lake, not far from this city, SAYS Havana
special to the New York Herald As they were
passing through the flooded district, which is
thickly grown up with underbrush, one Of the
young men, they state, pointed a revolver at
what was supposed to be a log lying half sub
merged in the Shiny water and asked his COM
Panions to note how accurately he would hit
the center of the fallen tree.
At the report Of the weapon the supposed log
began to move about in an extremely lively
manner, and soon the waters were white with
foam To the horror Of the young folks an i'm
mense and hideous head reared out Of the
water. The shape of the head they declare
was like that attributed to the sea serpent The
head was covered with a scaly hood and the
small wicked eyes, which glit.ered fendishly,
and from the hideous mouth long fangs shot
forth with rapidity.
So frightened were the occupants Of the boat
that they did not hnger long to take OBSERVE
Mons, but rowed for clear water as fast they
could. The young ladies kept up q continuous
screaming. The serpent followed the boat
some distance, making the most hideous noises,
while the atmosphere was filed with fetid
odor.
A farmer residing in the Spoon river bottoms
says he is satisfied this snake has been for some
time in the bottoms, as he has always wondered
at the wide swath made in the grass and could
never account for it. Other people claim TO
have seen this snake, and some farmers report
loss of young stock and poultry. 1t is cur
rently reported that the reptile is the one that
escaped from a river menagerie some two years
ago.

Lord Chief Justice Coleridge of England de-
livered judgment yesterday regarding right of
way in an action in which the plaintiff, work
ingman, sued the Duke Of Rutland because of
the latter's ga.nekeepers stopping traffic on q
highway while they were driving grouse. His
lordship in his deliverance said that the davs of
gh-handed interference with the rights Of the
people bad passed and that il the duke could
not conduct his shooting without meddling with
the right of the public to use the highway he
must select other places to hold his battues.
The evidence given during the trial of the suit
showed that the gamekeeper knocked the plain
tiff down on the highway and that when the
plaintiff complained of this treatment to the
duke son, Lord Edward Manners. the latter
replied: $50 to the devil. If you are shot your
life will be on your own head"

Russell Harrison Defended.

The minority of the committee which made
the Yellowstone Park investigation submitted
their report to the House. They take the
ground that Secretary Noble acted with fair
ness and justice in annulling the transportation
leases. and that Mr.. Gibson acted in false and
deceitful manner in his relations with the Sec
rotary. An attack is made on Mr.. Gibson by
the minority, while Russell Harrison connec-
tion with the company is defended in strong
terms.
Referring to it the minority accuse the ma
jority of going out Of its way in what il charac-
terizes as an attempt to smirch the son of the
Presiden. by the use Of some incidentals in the
evidence. The facts are, it says, that certain
party interested in the park association, assum-
ing that Mr. Harrison would have some infiu-
ence with the unknown Secretary of the Inte-
rior to be appointed. proposed to induce Mr..
Harrison to use such supposed influence for the
benefit Of the association and remunerate him
with fifty shares Of the stock. But the stock was
never issued, the minority holds, and Mr.. Har-
rison was never requested, except by Waters. to
20 use his influence, and there was no need that
he should do SO.
The whole thing was evidently fraud, the
minority continues, and one of Gibsons tricks,
and the majority report is unsupported by .
single particle Of evidence against Mr.. Harri-
son, and its comments are wholly uncalled FOR.

When the call was made for troops Williams
raised company called the Cameron Guards
and presented the roll to Gov. Skunk, who re-
fused to accept it, stating that it was not a
regularly organized body, but after some per-
suasion the company was accepted and started
for the front. They sailed on a vessel bound
for Lobas Island. Gulf of Mexico. After forty
DAYS voyage they arrived, but were not per-
m:tted to land on account OF number Of cases
OF smallpox. As soon a. they were sufficiently
recovered they began their march toward the
Civ of Mexico. They had many skirmishes
with the enemy and always came out conquer
