LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
Sketch Of the Career Of the Hon. DIS
tel II. MCMILLAN.

Sketch Of the Career Of the Hon. DIS
tel H. McAInla1.
The birthplace Of Col. D. H. McMil-
Ian, the new lieutenant governor OF
Manitoba, was in the county of On
tario. near the town of Whitby, in the
Province of Ontario. The years of
his boyhood and early manhood how
ever, were spent in the town Of Col
lingwood. He received his education
In the public schools and the collegi-
ate institute Of that town and in the
city of Toronto. His early ambitions
were largely towards military life;
and it was his cherished desire to en-
ter the British army: He took course
of training in the military schools OF
Toronto, where he was eminently sue
cessful, obtaining first class ce'tiE~
Gates in both the infantry and the cav
airy schools. He was identified with
military organizations in Ontario for
number of years, and served there
during the Fenian raids at Niagara in
1864, and at Port Colborne in March
he was selected for the position Of
captain in the first Red River expedi-
t1on under Colonel Wellesley. Tho
young captain remained In Winnipeg
with the force for year, and returned
to Ontario in the summer OF 1871.
Coming to Manitoba again In 1874,
Mr.. Mcmillan engaged in Winnipeg In
the milling and grain business, with
which he remained connected from
1875 until three or four years ago.
He built. in 1870, the first -four mill
ever erected in the province; and, in
the following year, exported to Mime
apolis the first shipment, as a COM
mercial transaction, Of Manitoba's
wheat. He did not, meanwhile. lose
his interest in military matters, but
was ready for active service whenever
troops were required. He was major
Of the Ninetieth Battalion until just
before the Northwest rebellion in 1885,
when he resigned, intending to give up
military affairs; but when the trouble
broke out, the old martial spirit was
revived, and he organized, along with
Col. Scott, the Ninety-ffth Battalion,
and went with that force to the North
west. He was then senior major, but
was afterwards in command OF the
battalion. Montreal Herald and Star.
Counting Years In Japan.
Mr.. B. Mayehatake, young Japan
ese who has been studying in Chicago.
gives an explanation of the method by
which time is reckoned in the chrysan-
themum land. The Japanese year be-
gins on our January !, but instead OF
counting from tie birth Of Christ
reckoning is made from the reign OF
Japan's first emperor, Zimu. Our 1901
is the year 1851 in Japan. When new
ruler mounts the throne a distinctive
name is given to his reign and sort
of petty calendar is kept of the years
Of his government, just as we keep
track of the age of our republic, writ
ing in legal documents: Year Of our
lord 1901, and of the independence OF
the United States the 125th." The
name for the present mikado's rule,
which began thirty-three years ago, is
Meiji. This word is pronounced May
zee, and means peaceful government"
Therefore, the current year in Japan
Is Meiji 81 as we'll as Zimu 1851.

THE ovERwORKED TELEPHONE

One of our steam conremporar1es calls attention to the fact that an American manufacturer of rotary pumps advertises as follows: "Our pumps at work about three miles out in the country are started and stopped from the company's city office, their operation being ascertained by tel ephone. This goes on for days without any person going near them." There could. of course, be other electrical methods of observing the fact that the motors and pumps were at work, but the audible indication of the telephone is all right.
 There seems to be no end of the du- ties that can be thrown on the tele- phone, and each latest suggests new one. says the Electrical World and En- gineer. For example. in mill towns, it is now found that calling people up in the morning by telephone beats tho alarm clock and the perambulatine watchman all hollow. This idea has rs- gently received an extension in west- ern city, where a patient, tired of de. pending on careless nurses, now has them notified by telephone every tima the hour comes around for the a1niA- istration of his dose. 1t fs said the1il4 works to perfection,

BROKE. IN THE DOOR.
Keeper Would Not Admit Them and
 Mir Kellogg Used Force.

Mir Kellogg Used Force.
 New Haven, Feb 4.--Miss Rebecca Bacon of this city and Charles r. the State Board of Charities, had a peculiar experience at Branford Sat urday.
 The members of the State Board of Charities, of which there are five, are directed to make periodical inspec- tions of the various charitable insti- tutions of the state. Saturday noon Mir Kellogg, who is secretary of the toard, accompanied by Miss Bacon, started out to visit the Branford poor house. This institution achieved some notoriety few months ago. The two officials arrived at the poor house shortly after noon. Poorhouse Keeper Quinn, the new appointed otii- Ger who has been there about a month, was at work in the yard as the two drove up. He paid no attention to them, and they approached the front door and knocked. No answer was elicited. although they could see Mrs Quinn on the inside
 Finally Quinn came up and asked what they wanted. MT Kellogg said they desired to go inside. Quinn told them shortly that they couldn't. The secretary stated that it was a public institution and that it should be open at all reasonable times to the public. This had not the slightest effect and he still refused them admittance. He said:
 "I have had strict orders from the board of selectmen of Branford not to allow anyone in that place, and I won't"
 AS the thermometer was down H T v,l was blowing across the bleak fields, Mir Kellogg began to be impatient.
 See here. AIr Quinn" said that gen tleman. we propose 10 go in here and look around. Now if that door isn't opened right away I'll break it in.''
 Well. you'll have to get a written order from the selectmen before you can go in," replied Quinn.
 Without more ado. Secretary Eel- 1ogg placed his shoulder to the door and q few vigorous kicks soon broke the old lock from it's fastenings. Mr Kellogg and Miss Bacon then entered without any opposition from Quinn. who stated that he would report the outrage to the selectmen.
 An inspection was then made of the premises under the guidance of Mrs Quinn. They found two old women and seven old men were inmates, which, with the seven children of the Quinns. made up the population of the house.
 It was found that a new floor had been laid in the kitchen and other suggested Improvements had been made. The house was warm and the inmates apparently comfortable. The dinner, consisting of cod1ish and bak- ed beans. was on the table and ap- peared wholesome. The only com plaint made was by the women that they had no night dresses. and this Mrs Quinn promised to attend to at once.

THE GORGE OF DARIEL.

Eight miles from NladikavkaZ is the posting station at Balta; II miles farther is Lars, and five miles far ther is the world-famous Gorge of Dariel, the "Caucasus Gates'' of Pliny, the dark and awful defile between Europe and Asia, says writer in Scribners. Gradually, as we drive on, the hills rise and close in on us till at length they fall almost sheer to the edge of the rushing Terek and the narrow road, leaving only just room for these at the bottom of a rocky cleft, 5000 feet deep. The air strikes chill as vault; not ray of sunshine enters; the driver stoops low and lashes his horses; instinct lively we lapse into silence.
 The geologists call this gorge a fault" for it is not g pass over the mountain chain, but a rent clear across it. To the imaginative travel CT, however, it is a fit scene for the most wonderful highway in history. Seventy years ago it was a perilous roa1, for avalanches, or the sudden outbursts of pent-up glacial streams. swept it from end to end, but the Russians have spent $2O,O0O,Oo0 upon it and made it safe. In 1877 nearly all their troops and stores for carry ing the war into Turkey and Asia came by this road, and it will be used again for the same purpose, although to a much less degree, for there is now direct railway connection from Moscow to Baku. at one end of the Iranscaucasian railway, and there fore to Kars itself. via Tif1is, and equally from Kars to Baum at the other end. to which fortified port steamers would bring troops and SUD- plies from Odessa and Novorossisk in the Black sea.
 The gorges of the Yangtse may be as impressive but there is nothing in Europe which produces so profound an effect of dread upon the mind as this lonely, silent, gloomy, cold abysm cf Darie1

the Near7 Euturc.
 St Joseph's Roman Catholic church of Bristol has purchased from Ira B. Smith of that town all cf hls property fronting on Main street, and extend ing from the Cieveland property on the north to the PenheId property on the south, with a frontage on Main street Of 24O feet, and a depth for a part of the lot of much more than that. The significance of this purchase lies in the fact that in the near future there will be built on this lot, facing Main street, one of the finest churches to be found anywhere in this section of the state. The Rev Father Rodden has been at the head of St Joseph s parish for thirty four years. and is probably the oldest priest in continu- ous service In one parish in Connecti- cut. He has always been keenly in terested In educational matters and for years served as a member of the school board. He is held in highest esteem by all the people of Bristol, irrespective of religious denominations. The Rev Father Clarke, Father Rod den's able assistant, is a progressive and energetic young man, who has made a most favorable impression in Bristol. Father Clerk is well known in Waterbury, where he was assistant priest Tn St Francis Xavier's church for few years.

Wages
 For. Everybody,

It is true that this country Is grow ing rich very rapidly. But it is also true that it is only getting rich in certain spots. A fertilizer is no use if left in one spot; it must be scattered to produce good results. There are business concerns which are making money very fast and they are paying as small wages as other concerns whose competition is so great that they are making no money and can not afford to pay good wages.
 It seems to us that if concerns that are making good money would be more liberal in paying good wages the prosperity of the people would be more general. It is upon the peo- pie that are getting good wages that the prosperity of the merchants de pends and this would be a good sub- ject for the Merchants Association all over the country to take up. If the philanthropists of this country would increase their pay rolls it would be the best religion they could practice. Big profits and small wages has brought hell on earth instead of Heaven. Everything points to pros. porous year. It is always Q good sign to see the Furniture business start with strong demand for Parlor Suits. This is what it has done and We have magnificent line from SEQ up. Our complete stock. of House Furnishings should be seen by every economical purchaser and we have courteous and obliging salesmen who will take delight in showing you.

KINGS AND THEIR MONEY.

Emperor William owned at one time $7,OOO,O0U of American securities. About two years ago his holdings were transferred to the name of the Berlin banker, so it is impossible to tell accurately the amount of his holdings at the present moment. It is estimated, however, that they az gregate $3,000.O0 and his yearly in- come from them is $150,o0O. So far as the records here show, the em- peror never speculated in Americans nor invested in industrial securities. His holdings have always been rail- way bonds or stocks and his favorite issues ure Louisville & Nashville, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Missouri Pa cific and Illinois Central. The em- press of Germany is the Individual owner of about $5oo,oOo of American securities. These are in her own name, but the dividend payments are, by her order, made to firm of Der
 lin bankers.
 Other members of the German royal household, says the Minneapolis Journal, are owners of American se- curities, but the certificates are most ly in the names of their individual bankers. The securities so held amount to about $4,O0o, ,000. The czar of Russia holds $8.0O0, GOO in Amer ican bonds and stocks. principally the former. These include issues of the Pennsylvania railroad.
