for the taste of the French in names
is proverbial. There is no Peggie in
the French tongue. When they tired
of Mary, they changed it to the
sweet name Marie. Ann became
Annette, sprightly and bright.
Some parents refuse to give first
names to their children, preferring
that the children themselves should
choose their own names. It is often
a positive handicap to a man OF
parts to have an ineuphonious name.
In many cases ignorant parents have
gone wrong In their selection OF
names for their offspring, and moro

The Rev. James B. Valley. n Meth
odist minister, who preached many
years in New York, told, with great
enjoyment, of q lisping mother who
took her baby to the font in the
church to be christened. When
tho worthy divine took the child in
his arms, preparatory to christening
il, he asked the lisping mother what
no should name it. The parent re-
piled "Luci'thir. Indignantly the
minister remarked:
"Luciferl Luciferl Never will I
namo a child that" Then he con-
tinued, as he sprinkled the water
upon tho brow of the girl baby,
"George Washington, baptize
thee, ;" etc, and the girl was there
after so called.

everyone indoors nearly all the after
noon, but towards shutdown it stopped
long enough to permit the neighboring
farmers and their wives to hear the
music of the band and to see guard
mount. After guardmount a question
arose between G and E companies as
to which had the strongest tug-of-war
team, and in very few minutes the
two companies had picked their best
men. and with men of the camp as
spectators. were soon at it. Company
G won with ease. and it was to be
expected, as Big Schultz was anchor,
and E company had a brick wall to
pull against.
The regiment left camp at 6 a. m.
en- route for Hastings, and the first
hard march of the journey was ex-
perienced, for, owing to it having rain
ed hard all night, the roads were ankle
deep in mud and water, and in some
places 1t was nearly impossible for
the men TO keep their footing The
officers and men composing the signal
corps. who were riding bicycles, found
out that a bicycle on cycle path or
good road is a fine thing to save
time and fatigue, but when it comes
to pushing it through the mud and
water for ten miles, up hill and down,
that the best place for it is at home in
the cellar.
In spite of the hard walking the men
We're jolly and marched along at a
good gait and in three hours and
half from starting had reached the
present camp on the outskirts of
Hastings. The city of tents was soon
UP, and clothing dried and everyone
in good humOr, and the muddy roads
and hard march forgotten. At GAS the
population of Hastings was out
to see guardmount, and look at
the Third in camp. At the band
formed in a circle in front of the
colonies tent and played an attractive
programme.

NOTES OF THE FRAY.

Shugart is playing sensational game. One
OF the prettiest plays ever seen was his yes
terday in the second inning when he was
thrown down In stopping ball, but, while
sitting on the ground he threw straight into
Glasscocks hands. He also made a fine stop
IN the first inning on Miller.
The question that now arises is: Can Eus-
tace really play ball, or was he In a trance
yesterday. Such work that was never
heard Of in his case before.

at the banquet given this evening I'm
nonor OF Dominion day. Sir Donald
Smith, the Canadian high commits
sioner, presided. After the loyal toasts.
Dir Donald Smith spoke upon the re-
sources OF Canada and referred to the
jubilee celebration in proof of tho
strong ties binding the Dominion TO
Great Britain. Sir Wilfred I,aurier on
rising 10 respond, was received with
prolonged cheering. He spoke at some
length on the history Of Canada, say
ing that Canada did not choose to as
sumo independence, because she was
already virtually independent and
could not have more power and free
dom, happiness and prosperity IF she
were separated from England He
Gwelt at some length upon the reIa-
tions between England and the United
States, and said that the feeling was
one of friendship between both Eng
lishmen and Americans. The enmity
which once existed between Great
Britain, Canada and the United States
had been largely removed by the
queen herself in such wise and kindly
acts as her letter to the widow OF Mr.
Lincoln and her intervention to pre-
vent friction in the Trent affair. After
an eloquent reference to the jubilee
services at st. Paurs, he said:
Let us hope that grim war will
never spread his wings between Eng
land and the United States" and con-
cluded: eff on my death bed every
trace of racial feud had been removed,

SUED BY CENTRAL.
Railway War Disclosed by the Fill
ing of a Complaint.

NEW YORK, June 29.-The COM
mencement of a big fight between the
New York Central & Hudson River
railroad against the New York q
Harlem road, which it has been oper-
ating for many years, was disclosed
in the filing Of the complaint in a suit
brought by the Central to compel the
Harlem to execute mortgage on its
property and franchises to the Central,
devised to the latter by a contract
made April 1, 1873 and to issue new
bonds under the mortgage Of So, 100000
payable in gold. Also the Central has
a right to pay and discharge the $12,-
000,0 900 In consolidated mortgage bonds
by the use Of like amount of bonds
to be issued by the Harlem road and
secured by g. mortgage to be made by
the defendent company. The Central
also asks an injunction restraining the
Harlem road from making and issuing
the above mortgage for 1000, 600 to
the Guarantee Trust company or any
other person without the consent Of
the Central.
1t is claimed that the sole purpose
Of the Harlem road in wanting to issue
the proposed mortgage is to enable 1T
to obtain an advantage and gain and
to make claim against the Central for
payment by the latter to the Harlem
or it's stockholders of the sum of 1920
900 annually. 1t is further alleged that
having disposed of it's railroads and
property to other corporations. the
Harlem has no corporate purpose for
which to receive the sum of 1920. 900
annually and that it's purpose Is to in
crease the dividends of its stockholders
and Is contrary to the construction of
the agreement made by both roads IN
1873.
