Women Scarce in Canada
From the Toronto Mail and Empire.

nv London lecturer the British peo-
n,e have been told that there are 100000
less women than men In Canada; state
of affairs which ought forthwith to be
remedied. The statement of fact is within
the truth. Accordingt to the census OF
1901 the males in Canada numbered q
751. 7Os whereas the females could muster
only 2,6l9,6O7 Henee the male majority
was 1872 1O1 We are far from thinking.
however that this is cause for alarm.
It is a state of affairs that is incidental
to all pioneer communities. AS rule,
in a new country the men go In first clear
the land, build the houses and then bring
in wives. This is the usual sequence OF
events, whether itnbs desirable or other
wise If there are 10000 men who are
doing this pioneer duty, and the estimate
is by no means large one. we have at
once the entire shortage OF females &C
counted for. They will In due time bring
with them their wives, or send for them,
and then their happiness will be complete.
1t will be observed that the disparity of the
sexes Is most marked in the new districts
In all Quebec there are only ten more
males than females: IN ontario, with large
have about 10000 more males than females.
Manitoba ia % 600 females short. British
Columbia is $1,000 short. while In the un-
organized territories the females are out
show that it is in the pioneer districts
that the men predominant. However, in
spite of the balance Of numbers against the
women, there are in Canada 1,564,Of1 UNI
married females of various ages. All things
ton as a purely matrimonial venture would
be JUSTIFIED. In the early days of Canada's
history, when shiploads of damsels were
brought from France to espouse the kings
soldiers the experiment was scarcely q
success Canada needs men as well as
women.

THE HORSE.
Something About His History in An
cient Thresholds War Horse.


cient Times-Job's War Horse
From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Speaking of the horse, that useful and
faithful member who has for so long been
a good friend of human kind" said a
friend of the animal, reminds me of a
few things in connection with the animal
as he is and as he used to be. Marshall j.
J. Cunningham of Moss Point drives a
blackish brown horse that stops at every
negro met upon the public roads. This is
accounted for, as part of the officers duty
is to look after the collection of road dues
or, in lieu thereof. to enforce six days la
Dor by all delinquents, as we'll as the ar
rest Of crap shooters. And this leads me
to consider the time and the place where
the horse was first subdued by the power
full hand of man. The Egyptians were
probably the first who broke the proud
spirit Of this noble animal and reduced
it to obedience and servitude. The books
of Genesis and Exodus abound with pas
sages which prove that the horse had been
long under the dominion of man at the
date of events then recorded
Solomon had 10000 stalls of horses for his
chariots and 12,OOO horsemen q Kings, Nv,
26). The grand descriptions in Job (xxxlX,
19-25)-'Hast thou given the horse strength!
Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
Canst thou make him afraid as grass
hopper? The glory Of his nostrils is terri
BILE. He mocketh at fear, and is not aft
frghted; neither turneth he back from the
sword. The culver rattleth against him,
the glittering spear and the shield lie
sWalloweth the ground with tierceness and
rage; neither believeth he that 1t is the
sound of the trumpets. He saith among
the trumpets, Ha, ha! and he smelleth the
battle afar off, the thunder of the captains,
and the shoutng'-ls familiar to most but
Egypt q Kings. X. PSI, and not Arabia,
seems to have been the source whence Solo
mons supplies We're obtained. In very
early Egyptian monuments the horse is
seen in battle and under circumstances
which denote long subtugation and eXpe-
rienced training. 1t seems to be quite clear
that the wild horses of Tartary are as much
the descendants of domestcated race
the wild horses of America. whose an
cestors were introduced by the SpaniardS;
nor have we any evidence to show the time
when the horse existed in a primitive state
of nature. The horse, the ass. the mule
are now spread over the whole face of the
civilized earth, and in some places are still
to be found in their native freedom"

Daring of the Men.
Detective Pinkerton related several in

and how they seldom confess and tell of the
identity of their companions He told of
how a man had left a bottle of water-col-
ored fluid in a saloon: over night under the
pretext that it was medicine The next
morning, when the proprietor saw the bottle
and learned who had left 1t there. he be-
came suspicious and asked one of the
hangers-on to take III to the river and
throw it overheard. The latter did not
care to take so long walk on so cold "a

away he threw the bottle against the side
of house. and terrific explosion fol-
lowed. Upon his return to the saloon he
was asked if he had thrown the bottle over
board, and he admitted he had not. His
reason for not having done so was that an
earthquake had occurred and he had be-
come frightened and dropped the bottle.

"A County Chairman bubbles over with quaint and wholesome humor, with characters. typical of the local of the play and the time of the action, thus serving up refreshing bit of bright comedy in a most palatable and appetizing manner.
 Macklyn Arbuclle as Jim Hacker, the big, good-natured boss of the polit- ical ring and campaign manager, was superb in his treatment of the charac- ter. He was cool and unperturbed in the din and smoke of battle, but weak ened at the sound of a woman's voice. He was forced to make a speech at the close of the exciting third act. Willis F. Sweatnam as the ubiquitous darkey was very excellent, and his peculiar ambling and expressions created much merriment.
 The rest of the company was in keep ing. The stage settings, scenic investi- lures and costumes were all in accord with the times,
 "A County Chairman" is deserving of crowded houses this afternoon and to- night, and any one enjoying funny, clean-cut comedy should postpone oth- CT engagements to accept of this oppor- tunity.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Thenter.

Tremendous success" was certainly the consensus of opinion at the Hyper ion theater last night, when George Ade's quaint comedy, "A County Chair man." was presented for the first time of performance engagement. What the audience lacked in numbers and lovers of excellent comedy should immediately realize their very grievous error by their failure to attend-was fully made up in enthusiasm.
 "A County Chairman" is so full of bright. interesting, wholesome humor that it would be useless to attempt to describe it. The continued ovations which greeted it's every performance during the long metropolitan engage ment are easily understood, and the re- ception accorded 1t last night was a memorable one. The play by George Ade, the unique and funny playwright, is one of rural life tsasfi4g4 as the ryttia suggests, principally with country poli- tics, into which game is brought love match of sufficient strength and impor- tance to make the contest of spicy in terest.

CITY SUIT ON.

The trial of the case of the city of New Haven against the Eastern Paw ink Brick company ct al, which in- wolves the question whether the Fidelity and Casualty company of Maryland,
 which went on the bond to the extent of s12,000 for the faithful performance |of the work of paving East Chapel street and Commerce street by the
 brick company shall pay the city that amount, because the paving job did not turn out satisfactorily, was resumed in
 the superior court yesterday before
 Judge G, W. Wheeler. and expert tess timony was heard.
 An exhibit in the case was section
 of the East Chapel street pavement
 that had been repaired with Syracuse brick. This section is about ten feet long and four feet wide, and is laid out on the floor of the court room.
 The section was taken up by the de fense and one question asked by Cor poration Counsel Daggett was whether a permit had been taken out for the city to take up the bricks. The answer
 Was in the negative.
 It is a violation of the city ordinance to dig up a street without a permit to do the same.
 The defense in the case is that the foundation for the pavement was not laid right. They point out that syra- cuse brick, with which the street was repaired, have crumbled as well as the original brick did.
