MARRIAGE IN HEAVEN.

T., the Editor ~ thC NCirS:
With every newspaper tceming with
bold headlines for the past four days an
nouncing the death last week Of Prince
Albert Victor Of Great Britain, IL seemed
rather astonishing TO find in the sunday
T,lcgran. yesterday, the following;
Fried calves liver l. said to be y favoritc

The Prince of Wales. Princess Mary Of Teck
l. said to bc fond of bacon, so when she two
are we'd they can. like Jack Sprat and his wife,
"scrape the platter clean -always provided
that the breakfast dish Is liver and bacon.
This untimely diatribe may have been n
facetious effort on the part OF the Sunday
editor TO show that while marriage may
be n failure on earth. IL is the proper caper
i'm the great beyond. and that 10 there

IN may have all been the fault of the syn

the news Of late, aud therefore did not see
the necessity OF chopping the above item
out OF his plate matter when ~ was re

there was the proof rcader--but syndicate
plates are not read az this end of the road.

would be the certain destruction of the
country. 1t is not at all impossible that
war with the United States may be the
only chance the Montt government has
of maintaining itself, even temporarily.
To thrash little Chile cannot be re-
garded as high ambition for the United
States, but if President Montt thinks it
good for Chile to be thrashed, and forces
us into administering the chastisement,
it will not be heavy task for us TO
please him in the matter and indeed
he may cry quits before we finish and
plead that he is getting more than he
bargained for.

We opened, Saturday, some
entirely new designs in choice
India Silks which are remark
ably beautiful. Indeed, we
think them the loveliest we
have ever shown. With one
exception they are light in
groundwork colors-the rich
est, softest tones of white and
cream, pale pinks and dainty
heliotrope-the figures bold,
of rare purity OF design and
extreme brilliancy of color.
The exception from these
charming light colors is a
superb black, enriched with a
magnifcently bold design of
peacock plumes.
These latest importations
are, we may say, the crown
ing glory of our silk opening.
The designs are confined
to us and are not duplicated.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

At Saturdays meeting of the Knights
of Labor, a committee consisting of Sec
retary Quinn and Messrs. OConnor and
Sullivan were appointed to wait upon
the Rhode Island members of Congress,
and endeavor TO have bill passed ex-
tending for at least ten years the Chi
nese exclusion act, which expires, by
limitation, on May 6.
The request is a reasonable one. There
is ''no politics in it, and~ we hope that
Rhode Islands representatives at Wash
ington will heed and act upon the COM
mittee's request. There was much OPP
position to the passage Of the exclusion
act ten years ago, but its wisdom has
been demonstrated, and most of us are
now ready to consider that little adap-
tation of the exclusion policy TO keep
out the thieves and paupers of Europe
might not be bad thing,
The law should be extended with
amendments, if possible, rendering it
less easy for Chinese to be smuggled
into the country from Canada.
