CANADA TO OWN THE CENTURY.
Minister Emmerson Says 50 at Society's
Dlnnor-ncciprOoitY Given Up.

The annual dinner OF the Canadian So
ciety OF New York took place last night
In the grand ballroom Of the Hotel Aston
The 200 members were aroused to great en-
thusiasm by the remarks of the chief speaker
the Hon. Henry r. Emmerson, Canadian
Minister of Railways and Canals, who pict.
ured the rapid growth Of Canada and de.
clared that all thought Of reciprocity in
trade with the United States had been killed
by the Indifference OF the authorities at
Washington.
Canada 10 going TO take possession oil
the twentieth century as the United States
took the nineteenth, he said. Her areas are
beyond calculation, her mineral
forests and fisheries make the potentialities
OF the 5000, 900 Canadians beyond o~onjeot-
ure. In the last ten years the commerce
has doubled, and In the eight months Of the
current fiscal year IL has increased $50, 900, 600
over the same period last year. We will
pass the $500, 900, 900 mark this year, and
you will understand what this means when
I tell you that we have q per capita trade Of
800 compared to $50 In the United States.
We are no longer content with merely GROSS
ing the Atlantic, but we are reaching across
the Pacific as we'll.
During the administration Of Wilfred
Laurier VI offered a fair measure Of re-
~ciproolty to the United States, but our
overtures were not met through the indif-
ference OF the authorities at Washington,
and our proposals came to naugh hit. We
fell back on our own resources, undis-
mayed, and found markets and customers
elsewhere. We were keenly alive to the
importance Of reciprocity with the United
States, but u proposals were declined,
and all I can cay to the people OF this country
after our marvellous growth Of the past
ten years is that w are doing very we'll
thank you
Minister Emmerson said that the Western
province drew d, 1000 immigrants from the
United States last year, and that at the rate
1t was increasing the number would be

UNDER ENGLISH ARMS.
Diners Told. However, That the Victoria
Was Not Named for the Queen.

Diners Told, However, That the Victoria
Was Not Named for the Queen.
The Society of Ireland's American Friends
dined last night at the Hotel Victoria. When
the announcements were sent out that the
dinner was to be laid at a hotel named after
England's late Queen there was some
grumbling, but the disgruntled ones were
notified with the promise that they would
have a good feed, and that anyway there
was nothing to take offence at because the
late Queen had happened to have the same
name as q hotel.
That excuse went until the guests met
last night in the banquet hall of the Vic
toria. Facing them from the dozen or
more windows were curtains upon which
were embroidered the English royal arms.
Some of the diners were uncomfortable,
and Frank w. Smith, the POSTMASTER, went
out for a few minutes prospecting. On
returning he announced that he was in a
position to assure the members that the
hotel had not been named for Queen Vic
toria, but after the first coach in the first
st. Patrick's Day parade in this city.
Among the speakers were Patrick Henry
Clune, Henry W. Herbert. Eugene +. Nc
Laughlin and William F. Foley.

B~IRMINoHAM, Ala. March i7.-Superlor
team work enabled the New York Americans
to take their second game from the Barons
here this afternoon. Both teams put up a
better article of ball than they did last Satur-
day. but there were times when the visitors
were caught asleep. The squeeze was tried
twice during the bgame and the batsmen
fell down on the. play on each occasion, al
though one of the runners scored. In the
seventh inning, Hahn started for the plate
when ,Elberfeld was at the bat. The kid
missed the ball and Eddie was caught be-
tween third and home and put out. In the
next inning, with Chase on third. Leroy tried
to bunt. but missed. Mathews ran up the line
to touch Chase and the latter cle verly slipped
under his arm. and as the plate was left I'M
guarded Hal scored the run.
The regular team was in the field for the
visitors and the work Of the inield men was
especially good, La Porte making the only
error on a difficult ground hit ball, The
hitting Of the New Yorks was hard and timely.
Hahn, who is fighting with Dougherty for
tbs, regular position at left field, was there
with the goods when it came to batting.
His first lick was a long drive to left, which
was caught, but later he made three slash
ing drives and stole two bases cleverly.
Dougherty will rave to travel fast to replace

YaIe's Freshmen Defeat Columbia In .
One Sided Game.

The freshmen of Yale and Columbia played
a game of hockey In the st. Nicholas Skating
Rink last night. II was not a game that would
please the enthusiasts, but some of the players
showed that with proper coaching they may
develop into good players. Yale won the
game easily. the score being 8 to l at the
close.
Williams. one of the Yale forwards. made
the best showing. He is an aggressive player
and frequently secured the puck in Colum-
bias corner and passed it out to members OF
his own team. He skates well and is a clever

Yale teams for the past four years.
Co lumbia's forward line was a very poor
one. Raborg scored the only goal for the
team IN the first hall ana that was a lucky
shot from a scrimmage. lrudeau had the
hardest work on the team and he made some
very good stops at goal, but his support at

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March l7.-Although the

Perfumes have been used from the
earliest times. The burning of per.
fumed incense was one of the rites of
the Hebrew and pagan religions, and
perfumes Of various sorts were used
by nearly all the nations OF antiquity.
Both the Romans and the Greeks were
skilled in making perfumery. 1t was
from the Arabs, who possessed the art
Of preparing perfumed waters, that the
use OF perfumes was introduced into
medieval Europe.
