purity and efficacy are too well estab-
lshed to admit of doubt as to its superb
ority over all other blood purifiers what
ever. Ayers SarsaparilIa leads all.

WAITING FOR a SULPHUR BATH.
Immigrants at Halifax Unable to Reach
the United States.

HALIFAX, N. S., November 1s.-The
enforcement of the United States quaran-
tine laws is proving a snag to the Cana
dian officials and is temporarily prohibit
ing travel between Europe and the New
England States via Halifax. Another
big batch of immigrants arrived on the
steamer Sandman yesterday. A small
party had through tickets for Boston and
other New England points, but the rail
way people refused to forward these
travellers unless they had guarantees
that they would pass the frontier at
Vanceboro. Consul General Frye was
appealed to and answered that he could
not give the immigrants clean bill of
health without personal knowledge of
their having been fumigated. He said
he would accept the certificate of Port
Health Officer Wickwire, but DIR. Wick
wire has no machinery for fumigating
them, consequently they remain at the
railway sheds here.

Question of Damages.


New HAVEN, Conn. November 2S.-
The United States court in admiralty,
met here today and heard the libel and
cross libel suits of Warren Low, master
of the schooner Artemus Terrill of New
London, Conn, and Jos. NJ. Higgins,
managing owner of the schooner Mary
Augusta of Gardiner, Me. Damages of
$4,000 are claimed by each party. The
suits are the outcome of collision be-
tween the vessels in the Sound, June "a
last. The evidence submitted today was
principally in the form of depositions.
The owners of the Terrill allege that the
Mary Augusta changed her course just
as she came in company with their yes
sci. This was, they allege, the cause Of
the accident. On the other side, it is
claimed that no lights were seen on the
Terrill. The case was adjourned for two
weeks.

NEW YORK, November 2S.-Rev. Mad
ison G. Peters of the Bloomingdale Re-
formed church, Broadway and 6Sth
street, as prelude to his sermon last
evening, spoke on the subject of ''Foot
Ball and Riotous Students" Said he:
"There is vital connection between
strong body and intellectual power.
Broad shoulders. capacious lungs, mus
cles of steel and nerves of whipcord are
needed everywhere to carry forward the
great enterprises of the future. The pres
ent athletic craze is a reaction from
the unwise indifference of the past. In
the college halls where Minerva once
held sway, Hercules is now enshrined.
The principal talk among college men is
foot ball, and our colleges and students
take rank, not according to their intel
lectual attainments and manly character,
but according to the size of the biceps
muscles and record in some sort of
sport.
ssThe student S mind kept on the con-
tinued stretch of serious study will pre-
maturely lose it's healthy action. Students
must have their times of sport and it is
not necessary that we bring the hours of
recreation under too rigid scrutiny of
reason. The scrutiny of science must be
there.
ssSin committed in pursuit of pleasure
is as sinful as if done for the sake of
profit Thanksgiving (?) day, among the
people generally, has more to do with
the stomach than with the service of God
and with the students especially it has,
within several years, become the day
when the lads get on their first spree.

FOLLY TO CALL IT TREASON.
The Movement for the Annexation of Cam
ada Growing.

TORONTO, November 2S.-The Evening
News Conservative says: 'sThe Lib
eral Association of South Norfolk has
declared for annexation. This is ample
proof of the fact that the movement in
the direction indicated has already at
tained sufficient importance to render it
worth the most careful attention of those
responsible for the direction of public
affairs. To attempt to check this move
ment by simply urging treason would be
folly. Argument against it must meet
the argument for but, above all, it is abb
solutely necessary to take steps for the
removal of the burdens imposed by leg
islation, which have given rise to the
discomfort. To the removal of these
burdens the Thompson administration
must address itself with vigor. The

to trial on the charge that his views are

CLIMBED AN APPLETREE.
The Town Turned Out to See Her Carry
Out the Bet.


MAYS LANDING, November 2S.-A
novel election bet was paid in Williams
town yesterday by plueky young
woman who had pinned her faith on the
success of the Republican national tick
ct. She agreed to climb an apple tree
and gather fruit from the highest
branches if Mr.. Cleveland was elected.
The bet was made with young man, an
ardent Democrat, who agreed to buy her
a new dress if he lost.
Yesterday was set for the payment of
the forfeit. All Williamstown turned
out to see the sight. AS the young
woman is general favorite the, assem-
blage about the tree was a goodly one.
Nothing daunted, she climbed the tree,
secured some apples and reached the
ground in safety. The young man says
he will give her the dress anyway.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, November 2s.-A
class of 500, including children who at

at the Cathedral yesterday by Bishop
Hennessey, who has heretofore denied
the sacraments to such children and to
their parents. As the instruction of this

NO BODY IN THE COFFIN.
Scandal and Interpolation Followed by
the Resignation of the French Minis
try.
PARIS, November 2s.-In the Chamber
of Deputies today, Marquis la Ferron-
nais, of the Right, questioned the gov
ernment on Baron Reinach's death and
expressed surprise that nothing had been
done to discover the truth in reference
Herewith. He referrsa +7 The rumors
that the burih was only a shan and the
coffin did not contain a body.
= M Ricard said it was the evident in
tention of the accused to bring discredit
on the administration. He said the post
mortem could not be ordered without
previous judicial Intervention. 1t was
the duty of the judge in the Panama
canal prosecution to cause search of
Reinach's house if he thought it necessa-
nv. He asked that M. le Ferronais' s
question be put in the form of an inter
pellation.
M. Brisson supported M. lie Ferronais's
demand and moved a resolution of regret
that the papers had not been sealed on
the death of the baron.
Premier Loubet declared that which
M. Brisson had requested was illegal. A
great commotion ensued. M. Loubet
declared that he rejected M. Brisson's
resolution.
M. Maujan proposed to add to M. Bris-
sons resolution an expression of conf
dence in the government.
NJ Loubet said he could accept moth
ing but the simple order of the day.
By a vote Of 304 to 219, the chamber
rejected the Premier's motion to pass.
the cabinet then left the chamber in
body, and the chamber then adopted M.
Brisson's resolution of regret that Baron
Reinach's papers had not been sealed,
the vote standing 1893 to 3.
The members of the cabinet went to
the Palace of the Elysee at O'clock this
evening and rendered their designations

OUR DELICATE COUSINS.
Trying To Find Bacteria in Yankee
Canned Goods.
HUNGRY BRITISHERS, HOWEVER,
ARE NOT FRIGHTENED.


by the Brussels Conference-New Phase
of the Panama Canal scandal-The
Rumor that Baron Reinach's Coffin
Was Empty Followed by the Minis
try's Resignation.
LONDON, November 26.-There is a
tremendous agitation against the use of
canned goods from America. This agi-
tation has increased since the passage of
the Mckinley law and the decrease of
British income in the canning trade. A
large number of instances of poisoning
by eating canned goods has been report
ed, and several cases recently are credit
ed to the same cause. Still the people
persist in consuming enormous quanti-
ties of American canned goods, despite
the doctors. Many deaths have been
caused by eating canned goods among
people who had no money to buy them
any other food, and with quarter of a
million people destitute in London, the
danger of starving appears a good deal
more serious to the average Englishman
than the danger from American canned
goods. The latest attempt to create
sensation on the subject is an interview
with the analyst Hebner, who explains
that the cause of the poison is frequent
ly subject to the lead used in soldering
but the danger is oftener due to
ptomaines, bacteria and existing aka
loids. The analyst gives his opinion
that fruit ought not to be canned, and
declares that the government must ex-
anime the whole question and appoint
inspectors to examine American canned
fruit, and not leave the lives of the peo-
pie in the hands of the ptomaines and
bacteria. 1t is believed the government
will take some action in the matter.
