DESPITE Lord Salisbury's declaration that
he would brook no interference from any
other Power in the Niu-Chwang Railway
loan contract, he has now yielded to all the
conditions Russia imposed. AS result
the negotiations with the English syndicate
have been broken off, and those with the
Russo-Chinese bank have been resumed.
The most destructive storm of the year
swept over Montreal last Sunday, causing
thousands of dollars worth of damage to
windows and skylights. Hailstones the
size of pigeons eggs fell in abundance and
one death is reported as indirectly due to
the storm. A trolly wire was broken and
struck James Mckenzie. passer-by, in
stantly killing him Several other pedes-
trians were stunned by the hailstones before
they could reach shelter.
ALL Great Britain has been startled Of
late by an epidemic Of outrages. On the
North western and Midland roads, in the
neighborhood of Northampton there have
been several most determined attempts to
wreck passenger trains. The police have
not been able to obtain the slightest clue,
although a hundred detectives have been
securing the district Consequently panic

CHIEF KELLERr, of the Metropolitan De-
tective agency of Montreal has been in

arrest all the proprietors OF bucket-shops

was passed, a similar move was made but
they gradually sprang up again and to-day

The princesse shape will be much
used, both for dressy day and evening
toilets, this autumn, and nothing could
be more perfect than the fit and out
line of some of the newest models.
The style of the gown can be varied
once and again to suit different forms,
materials, and requireme nts. On some
of the youthful models the princesse
effect appears only at the back, the
front showing pretty guimpe jacket or
blouse effects, Breton straps, fancy sim
gle, double, or triple revers, and vests
and breteles of laae and velvet. Not
withstanding the vogue of the revived
three-quarter walking coats, with
fronts curving back towards the hips,
or made in double breasted box styles,
some of the smartest models in both
French and English tailor costumes
show the bodice portion cut in round
wasted style, with straight belt or
pointed girdle as finish, sometimes
with, and again without, short added
baeques. Every sort of fanciful device
both novel and familiar is resorted TO
in the making of these youthiul-look-
ing waists. They are slashed, with
glimpses of glowing colors showing
between the slashings; they are in
double breasted form, with handsome
military buttons for trimming and very
fine gold cording at the edges, or they
are open-fronted to the belt, with every
sort of rich or dainty fabric introduced
as vest-plum-red being very ia
vorite color.
The rage for introducing our nation
al colors has not abated. Red, gray,
and blue in some of the most beautiful
shades we have ever seen these dyes
produced in appear among tailor cloths,
velvets, etc., for autumn gowns, and
the trace of white needed appears on
the silk or satin revers, vests, guimpes,
and plastron or blouse fronts of the
waist or jacket. In millinery these
colors are quite as prominent, and in
the red shades particularly are some
dahlia and damask tints with a military
name that are superb examples of the
dyer's art.

The Bamboo Gun.

The natives in the Bucherganj dis
trict of Bengal have been deprived OF
their guns, and since then they have re-
sorted to the native bamboo in the hunt
for defensive weapons.
They hollow out the bamboo, load il
with an ounce or two of native powder
and handful of iron slugs and touch il
off with fuse in the immediate neigh
borhood of the offending person.
Another way, as the cookery books
say, is to employ the bamboo as a fork
with cobra pinned to the far end An
application of the cobra to the sleeping
body of an enemy is all that is neces.

Waterbury Fair.
Superb Weather and Large Attendance.

The Wnooski Valley Agricultural So
ciety held its fourteenth annual fair on
their grounds across the river, September
10, Ia and 10. The weather was all that
could be desired and brought crowds Of
people from all directions. The manage
ment as usual provided special attractions
for the lovers Of horse flesh, and the gener-
Gus prizes for speed brought forth fine
field of fly ers. Gentlemen's driving horses,
brood mares, and colts were well repre-
sented. The exhibit OF cattle was very
good also sheep. Floral hall had many at
fractions which included fruit and vege-
tables The usual dining halls were we'll
patronized also lunch, popcorn and soft
drink counters with numerous misCellane-
GUS enterprises intended for the amuse-
ment OF the people and profit to their pro-
prietors. The privileges granted several
chance game enterprises was deplored by q
large majority Of the patrons of the fair and
IL is hoped that all gambling schemes may
hereafter be excluded. The unusual exhi-
btion OF drunkenness and disorder was
unfortunate. The superintendent OF the
grounds used all possible efforts TO prevent
the sale of Intoxicating liquor and is sure
that the trouble was caused by the hip
pocket traffic. A very pleasing feature Of
the fair was the parade Thursday afternoon

tied great skill and the marching and drill
was greatly admired. Music was furnished
by the Hinesburg band.

The Packers at the Battle OF Santiago

Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammuni-
tiOn and RatiOns to the Front Saved

P. e. BUTLER of pack-train No. 3, writing
from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23d, says:
I'VE all had diarrhea in more or less vio-
lent form, and when we landed we had no
time to see doctor, for it was a case of rush
and rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to hamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
DiarrhGa Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact, | sin
cerely believe that at one critical time this
medicine was the indirect saviour of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way of getting
s sup TO the front. There were no roads
and myself had the good fortune to lay in a
supply of this medicine for our pack-train
before we left Tampa, and l know in four
cases it absolutely saved life"

Everything indicates that the fair to be
held September 81, % and 80 will be a sue
cess and will probably be the best ever held
on the grounds. In fact every body seems
determined that this shall go ahead Of all
former fairs. The Washington and East
Barre band will furnish music, assisted by
the Corinth drum corps. One member of
this corps is little miss about seven years
old, and no one should miss seeing her ham
die the sticks. The entries are coming in

try will be well cared for.
