WINNIPEG, Man, Nov. 16.-The or
ran Of the Greenway government gives
the terms Of the parchial school ques.
ton settlement as follows: "All
schools are to be national, under pro-
vincial control and subject to inc
same regulations and inspections,
The same text books will be used, ana
all teachers will be properly qualified
by passing the provincial examlna-
tions and taking the prescribed nor.
NAL school course. School work OF
purely secular character will occupy
the school day. except the last half
hour, when the representatives OF any
denomination will be allowed to come
in and instruct the children belonging
to their own denomination, provided
the parents arc willing to have them
remain. In cases where the people
decide not to have this religious IN
struction, the regular school work Will
90 on till the close of the school hour. -
Tho principle of local option is recog,
nized throughout. The provlso that
is intended to make the schools satls'
factory to the minority is that districts
having an average attendance OF TWEEN
ty.five Roman Catholic children shall
be entitled to have teacher of their
own denomination, who must be fully
qualified, according to provincial or
national school standards. In dis
tricts where the children speak French
wholly, they are to have q teacher
speaking both French and English, SO
that they will learn English as rapidly
us possible. Tho readers used in such
schools will be bi-lingual, SO that the
children will grow up from the first
accustomed to English.

Miss Bertha Robinson, tall Chi

Miss Bertha Robinson, a tall Chi
eago, blonde, has travelled all the way
to New York to endeavor to extract
from one David Weisenberger some
$4,000 worth OF broken heartage. He
wrote to her as my Birdie" and in
cold black and white asked her mother
for permission to marry your ador-
able daughter" 1t would appear from
this that the Chicago girl has got a
.leat, pipe cinch' on the gay but friv-
oIeus New Yorker. The chief difficulty
in all these matters, however, has
been to decide just what the market
price of a broken heart actually is.
Some girls who appeal to the law in
these matters have only had their
hearts broken $4,000 worth, while the
Brooklyn lady who was lightly loved
by the chewing gum man has suffered,
according to her view of the matter,
100000 worth Of damage to her affec-
tons. The calm philosopher is always
haunted by nameless fear that posi-
bly, the extent of the gay Lotharios
bank account may in measure influ-
eIcs- he amount OF suffering inflicted
upon the lady, from which it seems fair
ito gather that in the present instance
Mr.. Weisenberger must be a rich man

pieces of artillery, attacked the place.
He captured the trenches and Destroy

The garrison, $50 soldiers and twenty
armed citizens surrendered but were
released. They were sent to Puerto
