Once in way Archbishop Temple
of Canterbury would get paid back in
his own coin. A delightful instance of
this is recorded. The church people of
a certain parish are said to have strong

sphere for their parson, whom they
wished to get rid of DR.. Temple sum-
moned the obnoxious clergyman TO his
study and suggested change of ben
efice. What was it, the parson wanted
TO know, that his people had to find
fault with! "Well," said the bishop
in the peculiarly harsh, strident voice
that so sadly marred his preaching, IF

went out he said, What fine sermon,

Catarrh of the Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded; when
food is taken into it that fails to digest,
it decays and infiames the mucous
membrane, exposing the nerves, and
causes the glands to secret mucin, in

This is called Catarrh of the Stomach,

New York, Jan. 31.--When Charles Bla-

at himself In a big mirror, settled his silk

maids, peeping from the kitchen window,
admitted that the restaurant had never
employed a cook of more distinguished
appearance than that same Charles Bla-
zee.
The cook had hardly reached the street,
however, when he was touched on the
shoulder by policeman, who took BlaZee
to the court Of Police Justice Hooes to
answer a charge of pilfering various It'd
bits from the larder Of the restaurant.
The justice took his seat and the at

for was disclosed when a tomato can full

Mr.. Allison was awakened shortly before
2 o'clock by loud ringing. Securing his
revolver he descended, opened the door
and was shot through the side. He raised
himself by the porch railing and fired
three shots after the assassin Mrs AL

An internal machine was sent to Mr..

the coming immigration in the spring
1.-THE impression is general in the part
Of Dakota where live that farmers can
get from 10 to IS cents more a. bushel for
wheat on the American side Of the line
than on the Canadian, but it has not pre-
vented people from turning their eyes to
Canada as place to live in. They know
they can get land in this country which is

GERMANS IN AMERICA

London, Jan. 31.--The Spectator ex-
presses surprise at the silence of German
Americans during the outburst produced
in the United States by the kaisers ac-
ton in Venezuela. and having satisfied
itself that the quiesence must arise almost
from entire lack of sympathy, with the
aristocratic and autocratic forms of gov
eminent existing in Germany and the
methods and aspirations of the. kaiser,
proceeds to wonder why the reflex ac-
ton Of German opinion in the United
States has not been greater on Germany.
It says: ~ ..-., 49,, s- -
It is strange that the Germans in America

NO SALE OF BOATS YET
The Trunk Line Interests Have Not
Acquired the Hill
Freighters. 49,
Special to Tho Journal.

6peC1dI TO Inc journal,
New York. Jan. 31.-The executive Of
fcers of some of the. trunk lines denied
to-day that a pooled interest had bought
the freight boats of the Northern Steam
ship company. They admitted, however.
there had been negotiations looking to
such purchase, but added that the deal
might never be closed. Mr.. Hill could
not be seen, but it is understood that he
also denied that q. sale had been made.
Beyond these facts. those directly inter-
ested refused to be interviewed. They
seemed to be much displeased with. the
publicity given to the movement in the
preliminary stage. Outsiders appear con-
fldent that the boats will ultimately be
sold as we'll as the Great Western eleva-
tor at Buffalo. This is essential, they
say. for a twofold reason. The joint own
ership Of the boat line will insure abso-
lutte control of the rate situation during
navigation, enabling the trunk line as
ISOLATION roads to dictate rates on grain
and grain products. The same proprie
torship Of the elevators insures the per-
petuity of the elevator pool at Buffalo.
The two passenger steamships of the Great
Northern, the North West and North
Land, are not, it is said, to be included
in the change of ownership.

Just why Judge Parker should be nomi-

he was elected a Judge as a democrat by
a large majority at time When demo-
cratic victories were rare. But this came
about through a ballot complication grow
ing out of the peculiar mayOralty fight in

of republicans were that day voting. This
