 The Course of True Love in Nova sco-
 tia.
 Victor Hughes and Miss Lou Fraser, both of Windsor, N. S., drove to St. Croix, Hants county, where they were married by Rev. MT. Henry the same evening After the marriage they drove to another town, where they remained until about five o'clock next morning, when the bridegroom was arrested on 8 charge of abduction from the maternal roof. He was subsequently discharged. The bridegroom was unable to procure a marriage license in Winrsor, as both parties were under age, but obtained one in Kings county. '"-
 When the brides delatives learned of her marriage great excitement pre- vailed and every effort was made to To- cate the couple. When brought to town Saturday morning the bride was forced from the carriake and had her clothes torn. her hand cut, and was taken to her home, where she remained a captive all day, during which. time the bride groom was under arrest. Efforts were made several times during the day by the bridegroom's solicitor to gain pos- session of the bride, but without suc- cess. s. ,.--a-*'* t
 A Windsor crowd watched the house all day, and late in the evening fully one thousand people, men, women and children, had congregated. The. excite lnent was at it's highest about half-past eleven, when a ladder about twenty feet long was put up to the window of the room in which the bride was kept cap tive by her mother. The glass was quickly broken, but before the parties could enter the room the young bride was taken to another part of the house. Enraged at being thus defeated, the ladder was removed, the front door was demolished, and the crowd rushed in. ! There were no lights and great confu- sion prevailed. .>.,
 One of the aunts of the bride became hysterical, and her screaming could be heard blocks away. This increased the excitement, as many thought some one was being murdered. Major Arm strong, with one of the town council lors, endeavored to quiet matters. Po- | licemen arrived on the scene, but were < unable to cope with such vast multi \ tude of people When the bridegroom entered the house, having obtained ac- cess by a ladder at an upper window, | there was great cheering, and when 1 quietness prevailed one of the council i lors informed the vast assembly that MT.

The news that the Panama Canal treaty has been rejected by the Colom- bian senate is not wholly surprising. Just what the performance means IS not vet plain, and perhaps it never will be. We suppose there are people who didn't want the treaty accepted. Those friendly to the treaty in Washington are reported as not discouraged by the Colombian action. feeling that it may not be a fnaiity, By the terms of the Spooner act, the President is directed, when the Panama scheme fails, to pro- .ceed at once to negotiate with Nica- .ragua and Costa Rica, and then to take the necessary steps for the construc- ton of a canal along that route. But it is pointed out that he can take none of the radical steps which friends Of the Nicaragua scheme are already sug- gesting, even if he were inclined to do 50, because he has no warrant of law. The consunmation of a treaty" with Colombia was one of the conditions precedent to canal construction set forth in the spooner act, and if that fails he must await new authority from congress before moving by any other path.
 Queer work. But we must have a canal if it is possible to get one.

MORE MILL REMNANTS.
Mr.. w. T. Emory, Agent for Eastern

Mr.. w T Emory, the famous mil

tional reputation of the originator of an
idea that has resulted IN placing before
the people of the large cities at regular
intervals the opportunity to buy the best
products OF the textile mills at mil

chance t. get manufacturers prices
In the first place it is necessary to u II.
derstand the real significance Of the
term mill remnant" as applied to these
sales.
First, none Of the textile mills hav e
yet discovered a plan to avoid making
remnants, "There has never been a
loom made, said Mr., Emory last night,
''that would invaribly make a perfect
weave cloth. The mill remnant com es
as the result of this imperfect weaving.
If a piece of cloth, say so yards is woven
the operator cuts out the imper fectly
woven place and the good piece goes to
the remnant pile, the piece being one
yard FIVE yards or ten yards. None Of
the slight flaws make any difference to
the user. but it prevents the mill or fact
ory from selling the goods at proftab lie
prices" The great mass of mill rem
nants secured for this sale consists of
new goods direct from the loom and are
offered at "mill cost" None of these
cloths can be S Id by the manufacturers
as full peices, as they are wanting in

ARSENIC VERSUS GOLD.

Gold miners in Hastings county
Canada, for years sought for some
means to rid the ore Of the arsenic
deposit which in that region is found
in combination with the gold. They
offered rewards, tried numberless ex-
periments and did everything they
could to get rio Of the poisonous, trou-
blesome stuff that lay between them
and their precious gold. But now a
wonderful transformation has taken
place, says the Chicago Tribune. In
stead Of separating the gold from the
arsenic, the miners are working to get
the arsenic away from the gold. 1t is
much the same thing, but different
The difference is that the arsenic and
not the gold is what the miners are
after; they do not throw away the
gold, but the arsenic is the prize.
The miners were still swearing vain
~ at the arsenical deposits that bur
led their gold from them when a
party of scientists came over from
England, They asked the miners how
much gold a ton they took out OF their
rough ore. The miners replied that
the ore ran all the way from $4 to 500
worth Of gold They said the trouble
was that it had so much arsenical
pyrites in it. The scientists investi-
gated and informed the miners that
the arsenic in one ton of their ore was
worth something like 800. Then the
miners quit swearing at the arsenic
This strange turn of the wheel Of
fortune has been caused by the virtual
exhaustion of the former chief source
of supply of arsenic in Germany and
England, together with the superior
quality and purity of the Canadian
product
The companies in the Hastings coun-
ty gold fields have successfully intro
duced the bromo-cyanogen process in
treating the previously refractory
mispickel, as the ore in which arsenic
is contained is called, and are now
turning out so tons of arsenic month,
The arsenic can be placed on the cars
at Marmora, in Hastings county, at a
cost Of $40 ton; it sells at $40 and
frequently as high as 500 ton This
arsenical ore also carries from $4 to
$50 worth of gold in each ton, which
is a handsome profit in itself.
Arsenic is a metallic substance, ex-
tremely brittle, Of steel gray shade,

A SCARE AT SEA.
Little Thing Threw the Passengers
of an Ocean Liner Into
Panic.

"Strange, what a little thing will
throw people into a panic, especially
at sea-" said an old traveller to a
group of friends the other day.
Last November / crossed from Liy-
erpool to New York on the Oceanic.
We had beastly weather from the
time we left Queenstown heavy head
seas, gales and snow and hail. The
decks were not TO be thought Of un-
der the conditions, as the seas would
come tumbling over the bows, send
ing the spray clear over the lofty
stacks.
1T was just coming dusk. Of the
fourth day out, when suddenly the
familar jar and clank OF the great
engines suddenly ceased, and for a
moment everything was still through
out the ship. except for the straining
and squeaking caused by her violent
pitching Then the passengers com
menced to pour from their state
rooms, and through the saloons to
the deck, with the gallant men Of the
smoking room in the lead.
. "There they stood, palefaced and
holding on to the rails, asking each
other what was the matter, all the
while getting drenched with the fiy-
ing spray. The ship fell off in the
trough of the sea, while the excited
passengers appealed vainly to stew
ards and officers for information and
advanced all sorts of theories to each
other. In about ten minutes the en-
gines started up again. When we
were once more under way the ex-
PLANTATION was sent round that Capt.
Cameron was afraid the donkey en-
gines way UP in the bows would
freeze, and to prevent this he ordered
them started up. It was necessary
10 oil these engines before starting
them. As no one could live up ia the
bows the way the water was coming
over. the ship was stopped while the
engines were being oiled.
THAT was all. but as evidence of
the strain the passengers had been
under for those few minutes, you
should have seen the men rush to the
bar for bracers. Stewards were kept
racing between the bar and state
rooms with cocktails. brandy-and-
sodas, and other nerve quieters for
hours. I confess ] had a couple my
