is larger increase than the history of

Under the term british North America the bureau
of statistics groups Quebec Ontario Manitoba the
Northwest Territory; Nova Scotia New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island Newfoundland and Labrador; and
British Columbia By far the most important Of these

600 in 1901, and ss7, 600 in 1900.
Not only has the growth in exports from the United
States Canada been greater in the Just ended
in any preceding year with single exception but
that growth has greater than any other country
except Germany To Germany the increase in the eleven

Argentina 100000 all of South America 81 OO0

Canada have grown, but not with equal rapidy The to-
imports for the year just ended will about

There are a great number OF people who are more
than half persuaded that education afforded by Ihe

adequate for the of money enforced from the

How to Prevent CrouD.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevened., The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoase. This is soon followed by Pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the rough cough appears, and it
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiey may
be avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t is, in
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by Prince

conditions which were considered as

was given a second trial short dis

wreck OF; the airship. Everything has
been IN readiness for the trial for
some days so that it was all that was
needed for the test was the right
kind of weather. Tuesday afternoon
these conditions presented themselves
and the test was made under auspi-
clous conditions: On the word being
given to launch the aeroplane it glib

way until the end of the tramway was
reached when on being left to itself
the aeroplane broke in two and turned

POLITICAL RIOT IN VIRGINIA
Democrats Eject Fusionjsts and Ne.
groe3 From a BUILDING, IT,


Norfolk, Va, Dec 9.-Sunlmoned by
the ringing OF the bell Of the Berkele,
Avenue Baptist church Tuesday night,
a mob Of 800 white Democrats storIned
the office Of the Berkeley Improvement
board in which were County Treasurer
Lyons. Commissioner of RevAhue
Nicholas, Town Recorder Old, DEPUTY
County Clerk W. H. Lyons and nearly
q score of negroes and rushed the en-.
tire party from the building to the
street. County Treasurer Lyons was
kicked half way down the stairs. g.
The crowd then assailed the Eorke-
ley police station and found there
County Clerk Alvah H. Martin, a Re-
publican, seated at table with Rev.
John Sumler, A negro councilman.
Martin was attacked, severely choked
and slammed against cell door, Ae
he stood there: powerless, denuncia-
tc'T speeches were delivered to him
ne was then escorted to his home
= the police.
The riot was caused by bitter politi-
raj feeling which has existed between
the straightout Democratic element in
Norfolk county and the fusion ele-
ment. controlled by Martin. It is
charged by the Democrats that the
county officials present in the office
of the Improvement board had as
Sembled there to collect the poll

and that on the other hand obstacles
are placed in the way of white Demo

Famous Philosopher and Autho.
Passes Away in England.
London. Dec. 9.-Herbert Spencer
the famous author, died during the
morning at his home in Brighton. His
health had been failing for some
months: The Illness took a. critical
turn a few days ago and he became
unconscious during the night, passing
away without pain.
By his own desire the least possible
information was given out during Mr.
Spencer's illness.
He was born in 1920.
The newspapers all publish@long ap
precautions and anecdotes of Mr.
Spencer whom they universally de.
scribe as the ''last of the great think.
ers of the Victorian age"
The death of Herbert Spencer re.
moves from the active domain of phil.
osophy. one of the boldest and most
original thinkers the world has pro.
duced. While generally regarded as
the apostle of evolution he was not
the originator of this theory of crea-
ton. Ancient sages had elusive and
shadowy ideas on the subject.
