'.Some books are lies from end to end.
And some great lies were never penned
Even ministers they have been kenned,
In holy rapture,
A rOusing fib at times to vend,
And nail it with the scripture
The ethical natures of the community
were very much shocked last week BY
the prOfane, indecent and immoral Ian
guage used by the Rev. @ VIM. Cnrrit
and Or. Henry McKane, of st. Maurice
in the pulpit of the Methodist Church
of this place.
They cursed everyone who does not
believe ins their sanctitication; doctrine
straight into hell.
They prayed for God to shake over
hell every person who does not believe
in their nefariOus doctrine. They con-
demned and ordered into hell every
person who touches card or takes a
drink of whiskey, giving them no
chance of an appeal to the throne of
God. They stated repeatedly that any
man who plays a social game Of cards
will steal anything. Currie gave his
own experience as an example, by say
ing he tried all one night to steal an
ace" He claimed that every man who
INDUCES in the game, is thief because
he had been one.
Every Christian man was advised to
leave his wife unless she processes sane
LITIGATION and pure holiness and obeyed
him strictly, it being conditiO sine
qua non of her reaching heaven. And
he was further admonished that he'll is
too good place for him unless he lived
his entire life without sin, temptation or
and accepted their belief that
they were better than Christ himself.
All this was taken crm grano sails, but
when they began to impeach the char
acter of all ladies who attend parties or
balls, and declared that any lady who
dances is ''licentiOus rake" the better
class of men here were very much in
censed at such damnable doctrine, and
fanatical lies. While allowing them to
pass this time, we take;thi opportunity
Of warning Currie and McKane that If
they ever preach such heresies here
again they will be summarily dealt with
The sermons of the Rev. Mr.. Sigh
Ire highly appreciated by all and he
enjoys the respect of the .entire COM
nunity.
Respectfully,
ICILIUS.

Interesting, But No Secret.

There is no secret about making
ice by machinery. The process is
simple. Our factory is open for in
spection at all times and q cordial
invitation is extended to visit it.
The process Of freezing ice, however,
is not SO important to the consumer
as it is to know what it is made from.
Pure ice can only be made from
pure water, and to secure pure water
it must be distilled. Distilled water
is water boiled and made into steam
which is cooled back again into
water.
River water. heavily charged with
sewerage from factories, stables,
homes. hospitals, etc., and contain
ing An invisible managerie, will
never make pure ice. Use only man.

STEWART WOULD SETTLE THE CASE,
His Plan for the Fixing of the Alaskan
boundary Line.

His Plan for the Fixing of the Alaskan
boundary Line.
Washington, March 17.-In executive
session of the senate Stewart Of Nevada
offered an amendment to the Alaskan
boundary treaty which is in the nature
of substitute for the provision for as
certaiEing the meridian. 1t provides for
the survey of the whole boundary line.
but fixes definitely the boundary as
provided in the treaty of 1867, which is
the treaty Of cessiOn from Russia to the
United States. The boundary line in
that treaty is Incorporated in the
amendment of Senator Stewart, and if
carried is made part of the treaty. 1t
begins as follows: Commencing from
the southernmost point of the island
called Prince of Wales island .
the said line shall ascend to the north
along the channel called Portland chan
mel. as far as the point Of the con-
tfnent where it strikes the 56th degree
or north latitude; from this last mem
toned point the line of demarcation
shall follow the summit Of the noun
tains situated parallel to the coast as
far as the point of intersection of the
141st degree of west longitude (of the
same meridian) and finally from the
said point of intersection, the said
meridian line of the 141st degree, in its
prolongation as far as the frozen ocean. I"
The trouble with this is that there is
a dispute at the very beginning as to
what channel. is meant. and there
