YACHT LIGHTING.
Over 600 Incandescents on an
Imperial Graft.

The Russian imperial yacht, lately
completed at a cost Of $1,150,000 is
one of the most deliberately fitted craft
ever built. It's electrical equipment is
specially notable. The vessel is light
ed throughout by electricity, over 900
lamps being installed in the apart
ments. cabins and corridors. The
mast and side lights are also electric,
and there is a double installation Of
lamps. SO that if one breaks another
is instantly lighted in its place, a
board in the chart house simultaneous
ly indicating the breakage. There are
nearly twenty miles of electric wire on
board. The dynamos are placed on
the lower deck, and are supplemented
by two sets of accumulation batteries
in case of breakdown. 1t is, however,
noted as somewhat odd that while the
vessel is ventilated electrically, she is
heated by hot water instead of cleo
triCity.

TORONTO. ont, Sept. 30.-The majority
for prohibition throughout the entire Do
minion Will not likely exceed $4,000 All
the provinces except Quebec voted prohI-
about 10000 Quebec's ma Ority against,
10000, is just about offset by the returns
from the maritime provinces, while the
returns from Manitoba, the Territories
and British Columbia, show that the
West is in favor of prohibition by a ma
jority of 1000 or 5000.
Even the prohibition papers consider
the majority too small to influence the
Government to attempt to enact prOhi-
bition legislation.
VICTORIA, 4. c.. Sept 30-The ma
jority for prohibition in the province of
British Columbia will not exceed 1000.
TORONTO. Oct. "A special from OF
tawa says: Judging from present returns
Of the prohibition vote barely one-fourth
of those entitled TO vote gave EXPRESSION
of their opinions on Thursday. As a con-
sequence, it is learned that the Govern
meut will ignore the whole proceedings.

An Appealing Incident in Il War
Time Hospital.

Scribner'S magazine contains a de-
scription of war, which is intensely
realistic. Correspondent Marshall who
was with the Rough Riders, at Las
Guasimas, is the author of it. Should
il not be read to the children in the
public schools? This is it:
There is one incident of the day
which shines out in my memory above
all others now as l lie in New York
hospital writing. 1t occurred at the
field hospital. About dozen or us
We're lying there. A continual chorus
of means rose through the tree
branches overhead. Inc surgeons
with hands and barred arms dripping
and clothes literally saturated, with
blood, were straining every nerve TO
prepare the wounded for the journey
down to Siboney. Behind me lay Cap
tain McClintock, with his lower leg
bones literally ground to powder. He
bore his pain as CALAMITY as he had
led his men, and that is saying much
| think Major Brodie was also there
It was a doleful group Amputation
and death stared it's members in their
gloomy faces. Suddenly a voice start
ed softly,
MY country, tbs of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Other voices took it up:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims pride
The uuivering, quavering chorus,
Dunctuated by groans and made spas
modic by pain, trembled up from that
little group of wounded Americans IN
the midst of the Cuban solitude-the
pluckiest. most heartfelt song that
human beings ever sang
There was one voice that did not
quite keep up with the others. 1t was
so weak that | did not hear 1t until
all the rest had finished with the line,
Let Freedom ring.
Then, hating, struggling, faint, 1t re-
peated slowly,
Land-of -the-pilgrim' s-pride,
Let Freedom
The last word was woeful cry. One
more son had died as died the fathers

GOOD GOODS. WELL ADVERTISED

GOOD GOODS, WELL ADVERTISED
Going the rounds of the press is an item
stating that the Royal Baking Powder
Company is the largest advertiser in Am
erica. OF course, the business itself must
be an enormous one to Justify so great
an expenditure in publicity. There * no
fallacy more dangerous than that sue
cess can be gained by advertising an ar
ticle of Indifferent merit. But. given an
article OF the highest quality like Royal
Baking Powder, which when the house
Keeper has once used she finds if she de-
SireS the best food she cannot do without.
then the greatest measure of success is
attained by keeping ii continuously before
the public. Great merit and good adver-
Using are both essential to make a pro-
duct a great success. The Royal Baking
Powder possessing the first, its prOprie-
tors have wisely used the second. and the
result is apparent throughout the land.
The Royal company believe that there Is
no medium for advertising like the news
papers. since in these enlightened days
everybody reads them.

GERMANY's MEAT FAMINE.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA cable to the
Sun from Berlin says: Germany's meat
famine is spreading. In many places,
notably in SaXony, cats and dogs are be-
ing slaughtered and eaten by the poor.
In some villages several families club to-
gether and buy fat dog to be killed and
divided among them. The consumption
of horse flesh is increasing phenomenal
ly. Horse flesh butcherieS are being eS-
tabliShed in towns where they have never
existed before. There has been a contin-
uOus increase of arrests and convictions
for selling unwholeSome ordinary meats
since the frontiers have been closed
against foreign cattle and swine.
ON the other hand there is great and
thriving trade in preserved American
meats despite Government obstacles at
the instance of agrarians.

Trust Stock.

NEW YORK, Oct 2.-The stock Of
the American Sugar Refining Company
(the sugar trust) has deprecated since
August 25th $50 per share, a total
shrinkage of over $50, 800, 600. The
price of the commodity has been
cut by competition to such an eX-
tent that if the entire output of the
trust were sold at the present price
the year round it would mean a de-
crease of $4,000. 900 in profit.

ergetic use of firearms and prohibits the
firing of blanks.
