CANADA TO HAZE an ELECTION.
Why the Dominion Government Is Likely

Why the Dominion Government Is Likely
to Dissolve Parliament.
OTTAWA. July 16.-There is a well-founded
rumor current here that the Dominion Govern
ment may dissolve Parliament and 60 to the
country before another session. The present
Parliament. which was elected in June. 1895.
has three years more to run. The principal
reason for a dissolution SO soon is the English
precedent OF having an appeal to the people
during the recess after the passage Of anew
franchise measure. The new Franchise act.
which became law last session, largely extends
the franchise. and now more than half the
voting population Of the Dominion have the
right Of manhood suffrage. There will be o
large number Of vacancies in the House Of
Commons before the close Of the present year.
and by-elections would have to be run under
the new act. Therefore member elected I'M
der It would present the inconsistent spectacle
OF one part OF the House elected under q diff
ferent franchise from the other. But there are
other reasons to induce the Government TO dis
Dominion just now. the clean, and economic
administration Of the country. the reduction of
taxation Will no loss in revenue, but, on the
contrary, q surprising increase. the changing
of annual deficits under Conservative rule to q

tional conference at Quebec results in o reel

to dissolve Parliament and appeal to the people.

HOUSES THAT BERRIES BUILT.

Achievement of n Widow at HaEletOn Who
Was Left PennilesS Eight Years Ago.
HAzLEToH, Pa. July leone OF the hand
soonest double blocks Of houses In the Diamond
AdditionNof his city belongs to q woman who
by the death Of her husband was left penniless
with three small children. all girls. The block
was built and paid for entirely by the sale Of
huckleberries picked on the mountains about
HaRleton by the widow and her three daughters
during the last eight years.
The huckleberry crop returns between $685.
600 and $40. 600 to the families of coal miners at
and in the vicinity of Hazleton every season.
The season lasts about two months. The berry
pickers are chiefly the wives and children Of
the Hungarian miners and Italian laborers.
Early every morning during the berry season
every avenue leading to the mountains is
thronged with picturesque parties laden with
baskets. boxes. pals and receptacles OF every
kind and hurrying to favorite berry patches.
Between the hours Of 10 and IL in the forenoon
The berry pickers begin to como in from the
hills, every vessel filed to overlooking with the
wild fruit. The first picking Of the day Is ready
TO be delivered to the dealers. who. to expedite
the business. meet the pickers with wagons at
convenient points, where the berries are pur-
chased and paid for in cash on the spot. The
average price is 8 cents a quart. although for
the early blues. the variety that ripens first. 8
and 10 cents O quart Is paid.
After delivering their first pick the women
and children hurry back to the mountains,
Neither the fatigue Of the forenoon's work nor
the heat OF the midday sun-and a huckleberry

without a p~arallel-has a lettering effect on

from New Port News for Boston, in tow

coal. The tow had to be cut Sunday af-

chor, but soon lost it with 80 fathoms of
chain. The barge drifted out to sea and
for three days was at the mercy of wind

abandoned hope. Pump house, spanker,
iib and foresail were carried away, and
it seemed that the vessel could not
weather the gale. The storm subsided

the Soule was picked up by the British
tramp which towed her into Hampton
