One CO the most elaborate affairs OF the
season was the musicale given BY Mrs. ".
Harrison Woodruff on Thursday afternoon.
The woodruff residence Is one OF the hand
soonest In the city and well adapted TO
such an occasion. IL was most artistically
decorated IN pink and green, this scheme
Of color being carried into the most minute
detail. In the large square hall pink ganze
was used most effectively. Tied In big but
terfy bows and hanging in graceful folds,
It's airy daintiness eontrasted Well with the
green foliage Of the palms, placed In every
nook and corner. The beautiful drawing
room was perhaps the most charming Of II.
The mantel was a dream OF loneliness
Suspended across the mirror by ropes or
smiiax was a wreath OF the same green,
studded with pink carnations. From this
hung myr.aas OF streamers OF pale pink sat
IN baiIy ribbon. with pink carnations at
tached TO their ends. AT each side or the
mantel stood tall vases OF the same flowers,
which sent their spicy fragrance into every
part OF the room. Pink hyacinths, prlIn-
roses. potted palms and the feathery aspa-
ragus vine made up a charming picture,
over which the many pink shaded lamps
threw a rosy light. Mrs. L. u. Campbell
and Mrs. Howard u. Thomas. both wearing
pink gowns, dispensed cafe frappe and tea
from the tea table in the dining
room. At each corner OF the table were
while the center piece was an epergne OF
madeahair ferns. surrounded by smilax Ia
which were embedded pink hyacinths.

CANADIAN STEAMSHIPS LINE.
IL VIII Receive a subsidy from the
Governments.

OTTAWA, March 3.-The govern.
ment has announced that tenders
will be called for at an early date
from persons or firms willing to
undertake the running of a line of
not less than four steamers be-
tween the st. Lawrence and a
British port, Halifax being the
Canadian terminus in winter. The
vessels are not to be inferior to
the Teutonic of the White Star
line in general equipment, and
with capacity for between 400
and 500 cabin and 1000 third class
passengers. They will be requir-
ed to make 81 knots in six-hour
trial trip, and be capable of ordin-
airy ocean steaming at rate of
20 knots. They will be of not
less than $500 tons. The Cana
dian Government will grant sub
sidy with an annual subvention of
$350,000.

Were the Portuguese or

here. Were the Portuguese or
Hawaiian government to come to
our assistance and offer free pas
sage for ourselves and families to
Africa, [ have no doubt that
good many of the younger and
more active men would avail them
selves Of the opportunity and
strike out again in new land.
They would certainly have the adj
vantage of being amongst people
of their own nationality, customs
and form of religion, but as l said
before we have not yet got the
length of dis. ussing the African
question. We are combining our
selves to what we have to face in
this country.
Have you no other griev-
mces?"
Eyes, we have. l may refer to
one on which we feel strongly and
that is The present unequal system
OF taxation. The small settlers
both in town and country are as
sessed at far higher rate than the
wealthy sugar corporations andpri-
waite individuals are. You have only
TO refer back to the listof taxpayers
published in the Star some two
years ago. There anyone will see
that the amounts on which they
were paying taxes were far below
either their paid up capital or the
market price of their stock. The
tax assessor or appeal board,
while keeping a stiff upper lip so
far as regard the small fry of
tax. payers, are very indulgent to
the sugar barons and corporations
1t seems the tax-assessors have
neither the desire nor the courage
to insist on the plantations
being assessed at their
full values as going concerns
On the other hand, every Poltu.
guese with a small freehold OF
leasehold is assessed to the TOP
notch. We consider that some
change must be made. Another
class who are not contributing
their fair share towards the reven-
ne of the country is the govern
ment officials. l notice that Mr.,
Damon says there are over 1000
people on the government pay
roll. Now why should men draw
ing their $150.to $500 per month
pay only So per annum for taxes,
or not even that amount if they
are volunteers or school teachers
An income tax would be the fairest
way to reach that class of people
The Portuguese are not the
only sufferers though the Asiatic
invasion. All white mechanics
tradesmen and small storekeepers
must eventually be forced to the
wall. We propose to keep oul
union distinct from any Other
body, but at the same time We
should be glad to have the other
white mechanics and tradespeoplC
combine and work separately, YET
on the same lines, SO that a speedy
attainment of our wishes may b,
arrived at"

DE C1v.r's FonnED CLAIM.
The Suit for the Duke OF Bruuswick's
Millions Founded On n Fraud.

The Suit for the Duke OF Bruuswick's
Millions Founded ON n Fraud.
In rendering judgment recently against the
De Clvry family on the claim for a portion of
the millions left by Duke Charles OF Brunswick
to the city of Geneva, the tribunal of the Seine
stigmatized In severe terms the fraud on which
the suit was based.
The case had been dragging In the French
courts for afteen years. AS the French law

claring that their mother. through whom they
trace their claim was his daughter. and that her
mother was lady Colville. They admitted that
they could not produce the original document,
asserting that II had been burned with the
archives of the duchy during the revolution OF
1880, but they pretended that they had been
fortunate enough to find a cory between the
leaves of an old genealogical work in the Brit
ish Museum, and a copy Of this copy, attested
BY a London solicitor, they put in evidence.
The Paris court found. In the first place, that
the Brunswick archives had never been do
ftroyed. The Are in 1880 was in an entirely
different part of tho palace. and though a care
full search was made no trace OF the original
could be found. Moreover, the alleged copy
cannot be found in the British Museum, nor
is there any sign Of 1t in any Of the catalogues.
The solicitor and the translator who attested
the document produced In court testified that
on going to the British Museum they found the
copy already made and in the hands Of a mem.

dent and IL IL Glad OF II.

Among the thousand or more pieces OF bag
gage which Ii Hung Chang took with him In
his Western travels the one that excited the
greatest curiosity was. without doubt. his
coffin. The Niccroy's age at that time already
exceeded the biblical limit OF threcscore years
and ten. At IA family council held before his set
ting out from home the chances of n man OF his
age surviving the fatigue of n long ocean voyage
were discussed and decided to be very small.
Accordingly preparations were made for tho
worst, aud "A coffin WAS added to his baggage.
But the old man proved that he was made of
tougher stuff than was generally supposed.
When he reached England he felt that he had
strength and vitality enough to carry him
through the remainder Of his journey. and gave
orders that tho constant reminder Of his APP
preaching death be shipped back to China.
The coffin got AZ far A. the Suez Canal. There,
as recent advices from the East have It. fire

Both Found In Unusual Numbers This
Season In the Region About New York.
There have been shot In the region OF New
York. this season. u considerable number Of
Goshawks. commonly called black-cap hawks.
For some time until this season these hawks
have been very rare here. \ New York taxi
dermist, to whom are brought many birds and
beasts to be mounted, said that in ten years he
had received but one black-cap hawk: while
this season he had. so far. received ten such
hawks. They come from Long Island and other
parts hereabuuts.
The movements of these birds are governed by
weather conditions and the supplies OF the live
food which they seek. The black-cap hawk is a
powerful. handsome bird. which eats nothing
but what II Kills itself. II can carry of a good.
sized rooster, and 1t kills and eats chickens. and
partridg-s. and quails. aud other game birds.
The abundance OF game in the country about
New York this season has much to do with the
presence here in comparatively unusual num-
bers OF the blAck-cAp hawks.
Snowy owls. also, which for a number of
years back had been rare in this vicinity, are
this year quite numerous.

invested by the sovereigns with the exclusive
privilege OF bringing to the knowledge Of

The first number contained an account of the
glorious victory OF the 18th of May. 1905. by
the troops of their Hignesses. near Antwerp, ON
the ElucRcn-Dyck, against the rebels OF their
aforesaid Hishnesses. The rebels crossed over
