FORTUNE FOR THE POOR.
Strange Bequcst of Frenchman to

Montreal-Here's true fairy tale
At least everybody thought it was
fairy tale.
To the poor of Montreal has been
left at least $1,OOO,OOO by an old
country Frenchman whom none of
them has ever seen or known,
When the news was first announce
ed by the city clerk the aldermen
themselves guffawed at it. Now they
are falling over one another to Sc
cure part of the money for their own
pet charities.
DR.. Guerin, the mayor of Montreal,
went TO England to take part in the
coronation ceremonies. While there
he made some inquiries about the le-
gacy and the corporation of Montreal
has his word for it that the poor will
get at least $1,000,000.
That is the value of the estate left
by the testator in Great Britain alone.
There is another estate IN France, and
Mayor Guerin is looking that up now

CONVICTS GREATLY
INCREASE OUTPUT
From Proceeds of Brick State Is Able
To Buy 16 Acres Without
Allowance

salem, OreAThe first piece of
property ever purchased by the state
OF Oregon without appropriation was
bought out of the proceeds of the
brick sold at the penitentiary brick
yard. sixteen acres was secured from
y. a. Burton adjacent to the present
prison brickyard and will be used
for an extension of the yard. The
price paid was $4,000. Since Governor
West has inaugurated a new system
of working the convicts by allowing
them a small daily reward for extra
eXertion, the output of the yards has
been increased from the require
ment of $4,000 brick per day to over
10000.

the Mexican civil war, was long since
The presence OF the
troops served a good purpose in pro-
tecting American property this side
OF the border and discouraging Ameri.
can assistance to the combatants. It
served to help neither side in the
struggle, and neither federals nor in
surrectos found the operations of our
army q cause for complaint. On the
other hand, Gen. Carter says that the
Texas naneuvers were of great and
lasting benefit to our own country.
They put all branches OF the service
to severe test and greatly increased
the efficiency OF infantry, cavalry and
artillery, and the transportation and
subsistence departments as well. The
experiments of the Signal Corps, too,
with wireless telegraph were accord
ed an actual test which was remarka-
bly, successful. The soldiers had many
weeks Of real field service. Theories
gave way to practical work, and Gen.
Carter believes that the military unit
thus created is worth five times its
cost.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
AS1oR VS.. THE CHURCH.
from the Philadelphia Ledger.

The church-of whatever denomina-
tion-should throw down the gage OF
battle to the Aston millions. The
church is the upholder and bulwark Of
the sanctity OF marriage. upon WHICH
the sopndness Of the social structure
absolutely depends. To play tennis
with the Seventh Commandment" as
Kipling puts II. is to set at naught the
essence Of all religious teaching, to
contravene the moral code which it is
the sworn duty and responsibility Of
the church on earth to conserve. No
officer OF the church can reconcile it
with his own conscience, or with his
duty toward God and his neighbor, If
he consents to officiate at a marriage
which is the sacrilegious travesty Of
that most hallowed institution, whose
divine ordainment he processes to be-
lieve in, and has promised steadfast-
ly to uphold.
