NO FREE TRADE FOR CANADA.
Lord Northcote Warns Montreal Against
the Wiies OF Uncle Sam.

OTTAWA, Nov 2s To-day Miss Can
ada IL able and disposed 10 turn up her
nose when Uncle Sam comes courting,
and I imagine it will require more than
that astute gentleman's Establishments
to induce her to open the door next time
he comes knocking. think you will
find he will come q knocking very soon
and she should be looking out for him
and have her reply ready said Lord
Northcote to-day before he left Montreal
for Newfoundland. He went on.
NInseparably bound up with the future
Of Canada 80 long as il avoids free trade
With the United States Is the future and
point out what nearly every Canadian
obviously understands, that free trade
with the United States would inevitably,
among its other injuries to Canada, re-
duoe the competition that Montreal as
a port has set UP with New York.
sCanada may become vast manufac-
turing country. Thomas A Edison said
TO me the other day In his laboratory
at Orange that Canada has the greatest
amount Of water power In the world and
his words TO me were, What are those
fellows doing up there with all that water
power2' 80 long as you keep your trade
In the proper channels and prevent Its
being injured In Its inoipiency by free
trade with the United States you will
build Canada up as manufacturing
centre.
sIn few years the United States can
not possibly export grain. Her own
people will eat more than she can grow.
You Canadians will then, 50 far as this
hemisphere il concerned, have the sole
grain exporting port, Montreal. left

MUSIC FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Frank Damroseh Shows How Fairy Tales
and Legends Inspired Composers.


and Legends Inspired Composers.
Frank Damrosch's concerts Of or
chestral music for young persons began
with educational aim. The conductor
used to try to open up to his hearers the
methods of composers, initiate them
into the secrets Of musical law and order
and show them how masters built MASTER
pieces. But as time passed these class
room exercises, which were more bene-
fetal to the adults than TO the children,
were set aside in favor Of more popular
schemes. Yesterday afternoons concert
at Carnegie Hall, the first of this seasons
series. was devoted TO an illustration Of
the uses to which composers have put
fairy stories and legends.
The programme OF the music suf-
fciently indicates Mr.. Damrosch's plan.
The numbers were the Mendelssohn over
ture to "Midsummernight's Dream" the
solos die First list UNI from Der File
gende Hollander" and the Legend of the
Sage Brush from @Le Jongleur de Notre
Dame sung by David Bispham. Humper-
dincks 'Dornroschen' (tone pictures for
orchestral. Jensens -WaldesgesprGchs
and loves wedding Song sung
by MIR. Bispham, and Franz Bendels
Cinderella orchestrated by Muller
Berghaus.
Mr. Damrosch gave his customary oval
explanations, which consisted chiefly Of
rehearsals OF the stories and legends
associated with the several numbers.
The audience was a large one and there
were many evidences Of its enjoyment of
the entertainment.

This society was the pioneer In America
In the field Of comparative study as ap-
piled to literature. The present recog-
milton In our leading universities OF this

ure TO the wide attention called to it's work.
The society has recently been reor-
Ranized with wider scope and will hence
forth not confine itself as hitherto to com.
parative studies In literature, but will
seok through lectures, classes and by
publication to promote the knowledge

CARDINAL GIBBONS SHOCKED
At the Census Buresu's Report Showing .
Great Increase in Divorces.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2s.-Cardinal Glib
bons declared that he was astounded by
the Census Bureaus report showing q
great increase In the ratio Of divorces
to marriages during the last twenty
years. He said.
'Wo have now one divorce In every

reflective TO thinking, But when we come
to observe moro closely We find that as
the Catholics do not tolerate divorces

remedies.

teaching OF the Scripture Is cellar. Mar

woman which Christ declared to he in

raised this contract to the dignity of a
sacrament. Christian people must unite
to regard the marriage bond as one to

legislators must take cognizance OF the
