A despatch from Prince Albert, says: Thomas Boyce, a barber in Goshen, in the east end section of this city, committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid on Sunday morning. He was 31 years old and came from the Muskoka district. He leaves a widow and children here. No motive is given for the act. The withdrawal of so large an amount of capital from commercial paths means a. corresponding re~ striction of trade activity and of the power of trade to expand. When it is remembered this is not a tax on income, but on capital, and that it strikes every bank ac- count of more than $5,000 in the German Empire, it is not hard to see What a vital blow ‘has been struck at German trade expansion. And all Europe will be dragged down with Germany. Every coun« try of Europe will be forcad to fol- low the example of Germany in atâ€" mamentexpansidn, with a conse~ quent increase of the burden of taxation. To site a. concrete example, Bér~ tha Krupp Von Bohlen, head of the. great Krupp works, will have to pay $1,800,000 as her share of the war tax.

"Shiloh costs so little and doc: so much!" jSumagettes Pelted With Clods of ‘ Turf and Other Missiles. ‘ A despatch from London says: A mob of 10,000, principally men and boys, mobbed the Suffragette speakers in Hyde Park on Sunday. Armed with trumpets, mouth-or- gans and bells, they prevented the speakers from talking, and when they descended mobbed them. The trouble began when “Gen- eral” Mrsu Flora Drummond mounted a wagon and started to speak to the great assemblage. For half an hour the crowds shouted, sang and pelted the Suffragette commander-in-chief, Whose clothes were a mass of mud. At last, Mrs. Drummond’s speech, of which not a word was audible, came to an end, and a younger woman took her place. She fared no better and the police, realizing the danger the woâ€" men were in, called upon the chair- man to close the meeting. - A large force of police, mounted and afoot, drew in about the Suffragette wag- on, and under this escort the W0â€" men were led out of the park fol- lowed by a jeering crowd, which continued to pelt them with mis- siles over the heads and through the lines of constables. The police endeavored to pilot the women to the tube station, but the crowd brushed them aside and dragged the women up and down the street. In the melee one woman had her eye blackened and all of them had their clothes torn and disheveled. Changes are to be made at the Toronto Observatory, by which it is probable the weather will be forecast a week in advance. The housekeeper did her best, with the result that Mrs. Rockefel- ler finally consented to have the cherry pie for dessert that evening, and it is a matter of household re- cord ‘Ehat the “richest man” did it full justice. Employes of the household, how- ever, have their pies; and it was one of these pies, baked fo‘r the housekeeper, that fell under Mr. Rockefeller’s eye as it sat cooling on a window ledge of the Forest Hill home one afternoon. “Sayâ€"fix it up‘for me,” pleaded Mr. Rockefeller. , Almost everybody thinks that the Rockefeller stomach cannot endure pie. And it is a. fact that pie is not permitted on the Rockefeller table, by strictest order of Mrs. Rockeâ€" feller, who, it might as well be un- derstood, is the real boss. in the “richest’ man’s” household. The moment the Rockefeller eye glanced upon that pie, the Rocke- feller face underwent a chenge. It grew boyishly ravenous. It might be said that the Rockefeller mouth watered. It was 5;. cherry pie, the crust was flaky, andrthe rich Icherry juice had oozed cute little around the edge. Of late years we have come to feel that John D. Rockefeller is really a. rather human sort of per- son. Instewd of a fearful ogre, shut up in his stronghold and defying the world, he is a. mild-mannered 01d gentleman With a. wellâ€"develop- ed sense of humor, and he enjoys food and recreation just as much as the rest of us. Add to this that he loves pie, and we may feel a true fellowship with him. To illustrate: Here is a, little tale, hitherto un- “CaIY’t I have some of that pie 2” begged ithe ‘frichest Iggp.’_’ Ier. published, of a. happening at the Forest Hill home in Ohio: ~ i‘fle housekeeper didn’t know.

A despatch from Glasgow, Scot- land, sey‘s: Students of Glasgow University and three. hundred stewâ€" ards, including fifty dock laborers, came to grips at a suffragette meet- ing in St. Andrew’s Hall on Thur-s- day night. The students fared bad- ly. Many of them were beaten, scores were ejected and the others sat throughout the remainder of the meeting in silence. Mr-s. Emmeline Pen-kvhuret, the sufiragette lead-er, it was announced early in the day, would address the suffragettes. A large body of students from the university came to St. Andrew’s Hall for the express punpose of breaking up the meeting. They got more than they bargained for. When Miss Janie Allan wae intro- ducing Mrs. Pank‘hurst the stuâ€" dents, who were in force at the Militants Call Dockers to Their Aid at a Suffragist Meeting at Glasgow Memorandum of Goods Recovered From Titanic Victims’ Bodies.

The property has been claimed in many instances, but that belonging to about 30 victims of the tragedy still remains in the vaults. LABORERS ROUT STUDENTS An Increase of $1,800,000 Over That . of Last Year. A despatch from London says: The estimated amount which the House of Commons is to be asked to appropriate this vear for the ex- penditure on the British army is $141,100,000, against $139,300,000 last year, an increase of $1,800,000. The sum of $1,170,000 is to be de- voted to aviation. - ' Christening by Wife of Governor- General, Lady Denman. A despatch from Sydney, Au- stralia, says: The foundation stone of the future capital of Australia was laid on Wednesday by Lord Denman, Governor-General of the Commonwealth. Lady Denman christened the new city Canberra, in the presence of great crowds from Melbourne and Sydney. The Australian Ministers also attend- ed the ceremony of inauguration of what is intended to be a. model ca- pital. The city is to be built on a. site on which the only buildings now existing are scattered dwellings of farmers. . Hon. Malcolm McKenzie Died After Brief Illness. A despatch from Edmonton says: Shortly after one o’clock on Sat~ urday morning Hon. Malcolm Mc- Kenzie, Provincial Treasurer for Alberta, passed away in the Genâ€" eral Hospital here of peritonitis af- ter a. brief illness lasting less than a. week. Half a Million Cases in the Austrian Capital. A despateh from Vienna, Austria. says: The worst epidemic of influ- enza, on record is afflicting the Austrian capital. Half a, million cases have been reported during the past three months, according to the statistics of the City' Health De- partment, and the epidemic is still raging so severely as to tax the capacity of the private doctors, public/ hospitals and nursing insti- tutions. Whole families appear to be attacked simultaneously, and persons of all ages are affected. The disease on this occasion is of a. peculiarly virulent type, with seri- ous after effects, such as inflamma- tion of the lungs, bronchitis, indi- gestion and general debility. The doctors hope the setting in of mild- er weather will diminish the out- break. THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL. PRDPERTY UNCLAIMED. ALBERTA’ S TREASURER. COST OF BRITISH ARMY.

The organism started playing, trying to drown the upâ€" roar, but without success. After a. fierce engagement, which lasted ten minutes, the stewards dragged or carried not less than fifty students into the streets. Those that were left behind, finding themselves out numbered, did not renew the fight- ing, but were discreetly well be- haved.

The general opinion prevails in the House of Commons that the First Lord of the Admiralty has cut the estimates rather fine, although it is conceded rthat they will mee’ the needs of the Government. Both the “bigger‘navy” and the “littlk navy” politicians are disappointed. The former declare that the in- crease ought to be at least $15,- 000,000 greater, part of this for new shipbuilding. ’Dhe lat-teifieomplain that the increase is out of all pro- portion to the needs of the {situation and ignores the recent declaration of the German Minister of the Navy, Admiral Von 'l‘irpitz, in which he agreed to Mr. Winston Churchill’s rule, enunciated March. 1912, that Great Britain must build warships in the relation of sixteen to ten constructed by Germany. They also urge that the projection of so large a programme of new shipbuilding means a continuance of German rivalry. It is also point- ed out that at the present moment the shipbuilding resources of the country are so taxed that they do not [permit of a larger coinstructio‘nw al pro-gramme. Reid Machine Shops Destroyed, In- volving Heavy Loss. A despatch from North Sydney, C.
