IN GENERAL

The National Wall Paper Company has passed the dividend due July 1. Prof. Wiggins says the water in the great lakes is decreasing every year «ndthat the time is near at hand when Niagara Falls will cease to be. Isaac Gauthier, a Alontreal, Que., ci-gar-maker, 23 years old, emptied five chambers of his revolver into a beautiful young girl to whom he was engaged to be married, Celina Consigny, also 23 years . old, killing her. Gauthier, after his arrest, said he bought the revolver for the express purpose of killing his sweetheart. He also, he said, intended to take his life, had he not used all the bullets in the revolver in killing the girl. It appears thathe is dying of consumption. The forthcoming review by the geological survey of the mineral resources of the country will show that the production of ■aluminium in the United States in 1894 was 550,000 pounds. The imports were valued at $4,110. Bauxite, which is an oxide of aluminium, has been found in sufficient quantities to be commercially valuable in only three localities in the United States. These are New Mexico, and the Coosa Valley of Georgia and Alabama. Aluminium, the review will say, has now found the position in the arts predicted for. it,, and the demand is increasing. Its metallurgical use has proved more valuable than was expected. The following is the standing of the clubs in the-National League:
