Boston's Two ACed Actors.

Boston is somewhat remarkable in hav-
Ing two Of the oldest actors in the world,
filed with the mental yigor Of their days
of histrionic triumph. They are Joseph
Proctor and Wyzcman Marshall, each so
years old ard each identified with the Hub
during his long career. The theory that
a certain profession will leave its imprint
Of similarity on different faces Is not borne
out in the case Of tiIvso veterans for they
are Totally unlike in appearance Proctor
has thin face, the eyes of hawk and nm
altogether soldicrly aspect, while Marshall
looks like statesman Of the old school.
His resemblance 10 Wendell Phillips has
often been noted. Both men made their
dcbuts In Boston, both have taken their
farcwclls OF the stage there, and both have
conducted dramatic schools for number Of
years on tho Gccre of their former successes.
All that has been greatest and best I'm tine
history Of the American stage has been
covered Ivy the lives OF these two noble old
exponents Of the mimic art.

Commerce Has Cemented

Without II the Great Nation
Could Not Exist a Day.
Mr.. Chamberlain's Speech at Cham
bers of Commerce Banquet.

LONDON. June 1.-THE congress of the
Chambers of Commerce OF the empire
attended banquet last night. Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain occupied the
chair, and the colonial governors, the
delegates and guests, numbering 450.
sat down. The galleries were crowded
with ladies.
The chair, In proposing the loyal
toasts. was greeted with immense cheer
ing. In proposing the principal toast,
Commerce and the Empire" Mr.. Cham
berlain said: "'The empire could not
exist one day without commerce. n
! were To be asked whethef-Gfeat Bril-
tain would follow the older empires.
and, like them. perish. or sink. like some
Of our rivals into obscurity. I confess
that the answer would not depend upon
what will be done by the peop vSof these
islands, but rather by the eventual de-
termination Of greater Britain, and upon
the arrangements which they may make
TO bind us together. A closer union is
something more material than senti-
ment.
Am I wrong in thinking that the
colonies share our feelings TO the full
that they have no idea OF cutting adrift
from the mother country?
1--WE ask you from the colonies to at
tach yourselves closer to us. 1t is not
to decrepit ruin that you are asked to
cling. I think that you will agree that
there are no signs here Of waning life or
decreasing power. The continuous
growth of this country is almost as re-
iGarkable as the growth Of those sister
nations which we call colonies. 1t is bet
ter for your commerce and our commerce
that we should all alike share in the free
interchange OF commodities between
800, ,000, 900 people. than that we should
engage in erecting barriers and exciting
competition. from which all shall be suf-
ferers The forces Of cohesion are
greater than the forces Of disruption"
Mr.. Chamberlain, in conclusion, begged
the colonial visitors to carry back 10 all
quarters of the globe the assurance OF
the affection, pride and confidence with
which the great mother country regards
her children.
Sir Donald Smith. replying to Mr..
Chamberlain, said that there was no one
in the whole length of Canada who did
not regard England as home. He eulo-
gized Mr.. Chamberlain for trying 10
cement the empire. Canada, he said. was
only too glad TO knit closer the great
empire of which ii was so proud.

WILL NOT GRANT RELIEF.
The following rescript has been hand
ed down in the case OF Joseph Hill, IT
ux.vs. Delphina q. Wallace:
The dispute between the parties is as
to the amounts received by DIR. Wallsce,
as the agent OF the MORTGAGE. from the
proceeds OF sale of boiler and engine. The
complainants insist that the amount re.
ceived by him and from which they
should have been credited is S525. The
respondent denies that more was received
than 1910 for which credit was given
In making up the amount of the S2o00 for
which the two mortgages of S1lO0 and
1900 respectively were given.
We think preponderance OF the evil
dence is in favor of the respondents con-
tention that testimony showing that S214
OF the S525 paid by Samuel Irons for the
purchase of the engine and boiler, was
applied to the discharge of another
mortgage on the engine and boiler held
by Thomas Miller. We do not think.
therefore, that the compiainants make a
case which entities them to redeem, and
the bill is therefore dismissed.
