Tuesday morning, the full, we board
ed the rtenm< "Quebec" and are now
on OUr Wl}' to that peculiarly Inter
esting city. Much has. already been
written about this quaint, mediaeval
riiy where so strangely mingle the
old and new order of things; but
wort's fail to do its attractions Justice
- -they must be se< n to be appreciated.
After traveling all night down the st.
Lawrence, we land safely ttboul 7 o'
clock; here we are met and conveyed
to tin- hotel in cabs, omnibusses and
tin- onaintest of all little conveyances,
t!:e "eubeehe," a two-wheeled contri
vance, seating only two passengers at
a time. While in Quebec we stopped
jit the "Chateau Frontenae," u most
< xquisitcly and modernly built hotel
it ml mm' to which all of Quebec ?an
point with pride. Ihr?', again we
are conveyed over the City, with guides
to point out places of historic inter- I
ist. This city is divided Into old and ;
new Quebec. In old Quebec we wa re
driven thro' streets so narrow as not |
to be able to pars without some dim- !
culty. New Quebec begins on Duf
ferln terrace; here wt found on these
streets some of the most magnificent j
churches, hotels, stores and public
buildings of different kinds: we also
visited the Duke of Kent's home,
where the fa:!.<;? ol Queen Victoria
lived. We were Impressed with ti.<
number of monuments < rected <ai
equates in parks and lawns In honor
of notable people; conspicuous among
others was (hat of Queen Victoria.
After having been shown the most In
teresting places in the city, we visited
tl.e shrine of "St. Anne de Heaupte." I
To tell the story of St. Anne would
require more lime than we have ;.t
our command, though 'tis an Intense
ly interesting one. Sntllc< it to say.
that so strong is the faith of those
who worship here, I hey believe thai
this saint is capable of effecting the
most miraculous cures; henee, pil
grimages are made from lon>; dis
tances to reeelv? the blessing of the
saint and have their ailments cured.
The stranger who inters this church
for the first lime is Immediately im
pressed witii the richness and grand
eur of the cdlllee, being Corinthian in
style. The most striking object on
entering the church is the main altar,
a maginflcenl piece of work in while
marble. The beautiful carved sta
'?:' St. Anne stands In the center ?
the aisle. On each side of the ? -
(ranee door are large pyramids of
crutches ami various surgical appli
ances that have hern left by those
who have found relief from their suf
ferings and Infirmities through the |
powerful lnte*reesslons ol good St,
Ar;?. Tourists And that Quebec
looks after their con dor: In excep
tional manner! the hotels are all
good.
