Deputy Labor Commissioner Jenkins sent eighteen additional samples of sugur Lests to the che.nicallaboratory at Washington D. C., and a like number te the laboratory of the state university to-day. The deputy com- missioner mforms the Ture BEee represonta- tive thav he has just received certificate of analysis of the first samples he sent to ‘Washington, and that they show 12,80 and 12,50 per cent sucrose matter, making undor proper conditions of manufacture from 180 0 200 pounds of sugar per ton. In view of the fact that little is known of the cultiva- tion of sugar beets, and that the beet has not been acclimatized, enough is gathered from this analysis to prove beyond & doubt that certain portions of the state are well adapted for the cultivation of sugar beets. To the far who holds such lands, this mews is of an wteresting character, A low average yield is pluced at fifteen tons per ucre, AL $1.00 per ton an acre would vet $45, as the cost of cvitivatioe could not exceed §15 per acre.

The returns from Florence precinct were in the same shape, and those from Union precinct did not show that the judges had qualified as such before the election, County Attorney Mahoney was called be- fore the board and asked for s opinion in the matter. He held that the canvassing boara should count the returns made to them, und that if there was any contest on account of irregularity in the returns, it would be for the judges of the district court to decide whether the vote should be thrown out. Maul's majority in the city was 79, while Harrigan carried the outlying precincts by @ majority of 111 votes. Harrigan's major- ity in South Omaba was 94. If it is decided 10 throw out the returns from the Third ward io South Omaba, Maul will have a majority in the county of 02 votes. 1f the returns from South Omaha, Florence and Union precincts are all tarown out on mc- count of irregularities, Harrigan will still have a mujority of 16 votes. ‘The county attorney of the opiion that the ?u\llcs in these precinots may be allowed t sign and certify to the returns, which may then be included in the couut.

The Home of Janad Tracadie A wild interest is excited every yoar in the condition of the Canadian lepers when parliament is called upon to vote the annual sum for the support of these unfortunate beings, says a Montreal let- ter to the New York mes. But a more popular interest is being ereated by the investigationg of two journalists, who are presenting all the facts ocon- nectod with their dreary life and plac- ing on record testimony to the sacrific. n Lepers at s of the gentle sisters ster to their bodily an needs, who spiritual up between the counties of :ester and Northumberland, in the nce of New Brunswick, is a brond nto which u noble river ptics, after draining with its many branches the whole surrounding country. This nd the river,with vhe well-wooded ct through which it fows known as the Miramiehi, signifyi the Mic-Mac tongue Huppy Re This section of the province has d through many strange experiences, the vic tudes of war, the devastating bluze of fire; but yet it remains one of the faic- estspots in picturcsque New Brans- wick. Here is the leprosy-tainted par- ish of Tracadic, upon which a terrible scourgre has been laid, but which mits to a few devoted nuns an opporii- nity of exercising solf-sacrifice equal to that of Father Damien, Down by the sea stands the lazaretto of Trucadie, the lepers’ home and wo where the Gulf of St. Lawrcnee for its way amid sand barvs and flats until it spreads out into a peacefal bay, land- locked except on the seawnrd side. A little avm winds round a point of land, and a smail creck the more securcly quarantines the fatal spot from the of the world. Over this creek a small wooden bridge is thrown, the only con- nection between this living tomb and the bright world beyond. The sur- rounding region is dwelt in by the tractable, peaceful M s, and ono of the diztricts is known us the Burnt Church. The frigite charged with the remains of Wolfe from England in 1759 was driven by stress of weather into Miramichi, and tk coi- dental anchoruge was thought favorable for securing o fresh supply of wate Six of the crew were detailed to i)l the casks frou: the springs with which the coast abounds, and, after loading their boat, they strayed off for u ramble in the forest, where they were captured by the In- dians and barbarously murdeged, The captain of the ship thought the deed was the work of his natural enemies, the French, and he determined to be rovenged. Ile sailed up the river and Lumrod a broadsiae into French Port, illing all the inhabitants, and after- ward destroyed the sottleme dian Point. Turning buraed the village and c’iurch ut Ne- quanal, and the region lying around the lazaretto is known as “*Burnt Church” to this day. This is a country rich in relics and remains of the old regime, and to this day the plow turns up the trousares of copper vessels with French and Spanish coins, The lazaretto is a square wooden building, and isin no way u marvel of architecture, but looks like a shightly- built wooden bareacks for temporary use, instead of a structurs igned to withstand the fierce wi Lcer winds that cowe in from the ~.uf. The nuns in charge of the hesuatal are of the order of the Hospitalieres of St. Joseph, and are a branch sent out by the iotel Dicu of Montreal, the rest of whose earthly existence will be spent at this lonely spot.
