While Chairman Caldwell, of the Western
Trunk Line Commission. is industriously
patching up his fences in the West the
Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk are rails
ing trouble in the East. The former line is
largely of the opinion that the demoralizing
tactics of the Grand Trunk are being act
lively encouraged by some of the lines which
are members of the commission. Tangible
proof of this is lacking and it is well for
the preservation of the committee agree
ment that 1t cannot be found. Considerable
sympathy Is felt by of the Western
lines for. the Grand Trunk, which they
treated in shabby manner when the
agreement was in process of incubation.
When 1t looked as though war with the
nothing too much for the Western lines to
do for the Grand Trunk. nothing too nice
for them to say of it, Then the Canadian
Pacific made overtureS and the Western
lines tossed out the Grand Trunk without
an instant's delay, telling it in so many
anyhow. Since that time the Grand Trunk
pas overlooked nothing that may tend to
break up the committee agreement and
Shc Canadian Pacific believes is receiving
active help in its efforts to secure Canadian
Pacific business from common lines which,
~ this late day, are beginning to repent OF
the manner in which the Grand Trunk was
treated. There is the making of a beautiful
row In the situation as it stands and one
&pstance of cold hard proof is all the Ca

A REAL DEFICIT.
It Makes Difference Whether Bills Are
Paid OF Not.

Washington, October 4.-The Admins.
tration is again INDUCING in reckless ex.
trayagnce, and yet it seems to be a time
when the most rigid economy is sorely
needed The treasury receipts for the two
days of this month have amounted to
81. 500, 546, which is only 500, 7s1 more
than the receipts OF Monday, September
80, and yet the expenditures in the last
two days have amounted TO So, 347, 600,
which is So, 1877. 1863 more than the ex-
penditures on Monday, and $1,000, 1852
moro than the total expenditures of the
last three days of September.
Again, the receipts for the last four
days of September amounted to 81, 009, S34
while the expenditures amounted to only
S947 53S, leaving an excess of $3, 062. 296,
or only SIP, IA less than the "surplus''
for the entire month of September, more
than one-furth of which, or 1887, 454, has
vanished in the first two days of October.
OF course it is to be expected that
administration partisans and newspapers
will say that one of the causes of the
heavy increase in expenditures in the last
two days was the necessity of making
large payments on account of interest on
the public debt, but unfortunately for
that explanation it appears that only
SIS, 600 of the expenditures of last two
days is thus accounted for, while the pay
ments on accounts of interest in the last
three days of September amounted to
S24 800.

UNPAID FOR TEETH.
They We're Taken From the Mouth of
Bridgeport Woman by an Angry Dentist
Little Boys Laughed.

Bridgeport, Conn, October 4-When
Beardsley the dentist, made Mrs.
Jenkins of Stratford, set of false teeth,
she put them in, said she would wear
them while, and, if they needed no
changes, would pay him. That was five
years ago. Beardsley has sent her
frequent bills, but nothing has ever come
of it. Wednesday Beardsley met Mrs.
Jenkins face to face in the main shopping
street.
"Good morning" said he. "When are
you going to pay me for the teeth? 1 see
you have them in"
80, very soon," said Mrs Jenkins.
with an uneasy SMILE But l really
ought not to pay you, they hurt me SO. !"
"What is it?' asked Mr. Beardsley
with interest, coming very near, as If to
look. Mrs. jenkins smiled and slightly
opened her mouth. The doctor thrust his
finger into it and jerked the teeth out.
Then he held them up and shook them
in her face. People in the street stopped
and the little boys began to jeer. Boards
ley dropped the teeth into his pocket,
lifted his hat and walked away. Mrs.
Jenkins clapped her handkerchief to
her mouth and boarded trolley car for
Stratford.

A rrial Of Spraying Machines.

In the field trial Of spraying machines
under the direction of the Cornell sta
ton, two classes of horsepower ma
chimes were entered-gravity machines,
or those that simply dripped out the
water by its own weight, and those
that carried pump to force the water
out. All the gravity machines failed to
throw out the bordeaux mixture. They
quickly clogged and became useless.
While these machines will handle paris
green in water fairly we'll, they are not
serviceable with bordeaux mixture, for
the lime will surely clog them unless
some force is employed to push the mix
ture out. The machines with pump at
tachment did better. The most effective
sprayer was a homemade affair thus
described by Rural NV Yorker:
Last among the mounted sprayers
came rude, wild woodsy affair which
contrasted strongly with its painted
and polished nanesake. 1t consisted Of
the frame and wheels Of an old grain
drill, shortened TO fit three feet potato
rows On it were nailed some rough
boards. In these was placed kerosene
barrel with force pump and hose. TIC
the latter was attached with proper coup
hngs a piece Of gas pipe, resting on
the rear Of the machine, nine feet in
length and fitted with four Vermorel
nozzles. The thills were stout hickory
poles, dashed On with wire. The oper-
ator went down the rows driving the
one horse, pumping and occasionally
stirring the mixture with paddle. All
the other machines had stopped for ad-
justment, Or because they could mot get
on with the spraying. Why would not
this rude affair? But on went the zone
horse shay, where one part was as per-
feet as another, without stop, save at
the ends of the rows and covering "a
rows with the mixture.
The Knapsack sprayers, with pumps,
did good work, and SO did the powder
guns. The success of this homemade
sprayer ought to show farmers how a
little display Of mechanical skill may
save money for them.

KITCHEN AND HOUSE Stops.
Disposal by Barrel aud Cart or House
Drain and Cesspool.

Drain and Cesspool.
One Of the chief problems of the aver
age village or suburban resident is the
disposal of the ordinary kitchen and
house Stops. The primitive method is to
simply throw them out and let them go
where they may. The result is damp,
disease breeding spot located under the
very noses of the family, to generate the
germs Of typhoid fever, malaria, flies
and host of the other ills of the suburb
an resident. In most cases nature does
all it can to counterfeit the sins of man
kind, and these 'slop holes" are usually
partially concealed and covered up with
growth of rank weeds, useless and un-
slightly except as they may absorb the
filthy debris Of the Stops. Such condi-
ton Of things is simply intolerable and
should be forbidden by law.
The most common system of dispos-
ing of Stops is by an ordinary tile drain
running from the house sink to supken
barrel or bottomless cistern Of brick or
stone-a cesspool. This system removes
Che filth from the surface and hides it
from the sight and for time at least
from the smell Instead Of scattering
the wastes to the four winds Of heaven
it concentrates it in hole to ferment
and rot. The result is the deadly sewer
gas and intolerable stenches The cess
pool and drain are only tolerable when
they are thoroughly drained and trapped
and cleaned out at least twice q week.
The third and, according to writer
in American Gardening, the only feast
BILE, healthy and convenient method OF
disposing of house sewerage where there
are no village water and sewerage sys-
TENS is to lead pipe directly from the
sink to a barrel, the barrel removed by
a cart as often as may be necessary and
it's contents dumped about the grape
vines, fruit trees or in times Of drought
upon the vegetable Or flower garden.
We will assume Of course that garbage
is burned or fed to the chickens, and
that the modern earth closet is used in
the house. It is really astonishing how
easily the Stops Of an ordinary family
may be removed by the barrel and cart
and how completely they are dispersed
by dumping them on the surface of the
soil. 1t is probable that the Stops treated
in this way are worth, for fertilizing
purposes, all the trouble Of disposing Of
them.

Removing Queens In autumn.

szSSeh@Ac
A correspondent writes as follows in
The Canadian Bee Journal:
I go around just after the honey har-
vest is over and hunt up all theoalonies
containing old queens, OR colonies that
did not winter well or do but little for
me through the season. All such queens
kill as soon as can after the flow,
before the drones are all destroyed. ]
just let those hives start and rear cells
About eight days after go through and
destroy all cells where I do not wish
any queens reared. Then I go to some
hive where I killed an old queen that
had previously done well and take out
cells and distribute them in the other
hives where had destroyed all cells.
They will all accept them, and in a few
days will have young queens and from
good stock. Such queens are almost
ing they are properly wintered. If l
wish to change the blood in few Of my
colonies, would send to some reliable
dealer and get queens and have them
ready to put right in when the other
ones were killed. My experience in SUI
perseding in this way, and at the above
time, is this: It prevents the colonies
from using up lot of stores in rearing
young bees only to die off and help to
clog up the entrance in the winter.
Where there is fall flow, it would
probably be better to have young laying
queens to replace the old ones.

New Haven, Conn, October 1.-The
Yale track team will leave late this after
noon for New York where they will meet
the Cambridge team tomorrow in the
games for the international champion
ship on Manhattan field. Most of the
members of the university will go tc
New York to witness the contests, the
faculty having expressed willingness to
grant general leave of absence for the
occasion.
All the Yale athletes except Morgan,
the mile runner, are in fine condition
and should make the best showing that
any Yale team has made in years. Yale
expects to win a majority of the events

MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION
A Novel Situation Growing Oat of Soho
Fight

A Novel Situation Growing Oat of School
MINNEAPOLIS, April 16-rA special
to the Tribune from Winnepeg, Manitoba,
says:
Nothing since the beginning of the
Catholic school struggle in this country
has created greater sensation than the
announcement of the Catholic archbishop
that those Catholics who thencefortf
lend their aid and infire ice to those who
would abolish Catholic parochial schools
will be eXcommunicatt d.
A number of prominent Catholics have
during the struggle of the church ex'
pressed themselves / favor of a national
school system, and among these the an
nouncement has created the greatest con
sternation. At first it was thought to be
a move on the part of the archbishop, and
done without the authority of Mgr. Satolll
of the pope, but today it was learned
that Archbishop Langevin's action is
based OH advices received from Rome. 1t
is understood that the archbishop last
week received a papal encyclcal on the
question. This encyclical reviews the
entire school matter, and points out that
the case in the United States and Canada
is not analogous. In Canada and partc-
ularly in Manitoba, it points out that
Catholic schools were guaranteed by
treaty and the constitution while no such
guarantee was given in the states.
The parochial schools belong to Mani
toba Catholics by right of treaty. it de-
clares. and on this ground affirms that the
Catholics. who continue to lend their aid
to those who would take away these rights
shall not be received into communion
with the church. Archbishop Langevin
speaking on the matter, was most en-
phatic. These were his words
The hierarchy of-the Catholic church
has spoken. All those who do not follow
the hierarchy are not Catholics. When
the hierarchy has spoken; there is no use
for any Catholic to say the contrary, Tor
if he does he is no longer Catholic:
such man may carry the title, but |
declare this as an archbishop. | say-ard
say it with plain authority--a Catholic
who does not follow the hierarchy on the
school question is no more Catholic.
And who will be the one to entitle such
a one TO the name of Catholic? Where is
the society which will give him authority
to call himself a Catholic when |. in
my authority as Catholic bishop declare
that such man has no right t" the name.
Let us repeat; the Catholic hierarchy
have not the slightest desire to govern the
country, as has been freely and falsely
charged, for we are bound by the law and
will submit to the law as everyone else
must.
In God we trust-this is our motto.
We stand by the constitution of the coun
try, but we will have no Goddess schools.
1t is reported that a meeting OF Roman
Catholic disnitaries will shortly be held
in New York city to discuss and take
some action on the Manitoba school ques
ton. The church in Manitoba is OK
pecting some aid in their church affairs
in the United States. and although Mgr
Sltolli's jurisdiction may not extend to
Manitoba 1T is understood that. Catholi, :
here. think he will throw hls great in
tlucnce i'll their behalf.

ENGINEER MILLS KILLED
Body Of the Unfortunate Man Hurled
Through the Air

Badly Shaken Up

SAN .JACINTO, CAL, April 16.-San
Jacinto again comes to the front with q
metropolitan news item. This evening
as the 1870 train was pulling into the ny"
an,explosion occurred that made the win
dows of the residences that were mile
away rattle as if from an ear thquake.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Duddleson and was pulled by engine
No. 5.
+. Park. the regular engineer had OBJ
tanned lay off today to attend the Fies-
ia and had pulled the train out from this
station this morning and new man re-
turned with the train this evening. His
name was Mills and it was his first trip.
When the explosion occurred the en-
gineer stood in front of the furnace door
and was struck squarely in the breast by
the iron gate which vas blown from its
hinges and hurled several hundred yards
into a grain field. Tbs dead body of the
engineer was picked up in a manged
condition about one hundred yards from
the scene of the explosion.
Gus Matthews the brakeman, was rid
ing Oh the pilot and was thrown long
distance. When picked up he was badly
bruised.
Fireman Jackson narrowly escaped
death from the flying iron that fill ell the
air in every. direction. At the time of the
explosion he was but two feet from the
unfortunate engineer, but escaped with
out a scratch.
The people in the express car and the
passenger coach received shock that
they will never forget.
The engine is a complete wreck. Pieces
of iron weighing 800 and 700 pounds were
hurled over 400 feet from the wreck.
A special train has just arrived with
the railroad officials and the coroner.
The dead engineers wife arrived only
at San Bernardino last evening from the
east
