First and foremost is the Millinery... Never

parations made fora Fall Opening than we
are this season.. Miss •Reynolds and her
staff spent several weeks in the workrooms
of the large wholesale houses, studying the
new Fall styles and ,making copies of Paris•
and New york models. Since their return
they have been busy preparing for the
Opening — Friday and Saturday of next
week. They will be prepared to show the
results these weeks of work and study and
give you authorative information on Millinery styles for Fall. . The, new Millinery will
be ready in all its autumn beauty and .fresh-
ness. It is here for you to inspect and.: ex-

A. meeting of the Collegiate Board
Of Trustees was held on Saturday
night. They went into Committee of
the Whole., and, after a ,good deal of
consideration, the following was sub -
witted;
That, whereas_, in view ot the dill).-
culty that this Board has experienced
in securing a specialist in the Science
Department, and the prominence this
department now occupies in the edu-
cational system ot the Province, in
our opinion justifies the Board in re-
organizing the staff of teachers. There-
fore, be it resolved that the present
stall be notified, within the terms of
our agreement, that the contract be-
tween us be terminated on the 8th ot
November next, and that the Secretary
is hereby authorized to advertise for
teachers as follows ;

Moved by M. Mdraggart, seconded
by J. Ransford, that the report of the

Moved in . amendment by C. R.

the original resolution, as reported by
the Committee, be amended by strik-

that a majority •of the Board believe
any such step as the foregoing neces-

ply for any of the positiona mentioned,
they are at liberty to do so. • Perhaps
the point upon which the Board is

NEVER tilEARD OF THE KING.
—A story is told in last -week's papers
Woman,
of a Brooklyn visiting in the
Old Country, who had never heard of
the King. This is equalled by an ex-
perience Mr. Dowding, Manager Mol -
son's Bank, had afew clays since, while
going down the St t ' Lawrence. On
board the boat was an American, who
honestly believed that the King lived
in Canada, personally .made. the :laws
of this country, and that every day
the people had to •bow down to his
august presence. Mr. Dowding nater -
ally Was enlaced at the inan's ignor-
ance, and told him so, only lo lie told
in return that there were plenty of
Americans who were equally as wpm. -
ant as he. • .

NOTHING BUT A STAR.—A. good
many people' are exercised about the
nature of a very bright light which
makes its appearance in the western
heaven,each evening, and then rapid:
ly disappears to the north. Some have
got the idea that it is a lighted baloon,
anchored over Detroit, or some other
Michigan city. This is entirely an e1 -
or. If it were a lighted balloon, it
wLlld have to be at least fifty miles in
the air to be seen at this distance. The
curvature of the earth Makes such a
difference that, the altitude would nec-
essarily be that much:And when it is
remembered that the highest point
ever reached by a balloon is seven miles,'
it will be seen that a • balloon iit fifty
miles is an impossibility. It is nothing
more or less than thestar Venus.

evening last, while Mrs. L. Thrower.
was out for a short time, her house
was enterect by some one removing a
window screen, and a gold watch, the
present of her husband an their mar-
riage, was stolen. The same night the
house of Mi. W. G. Doherty was en-
tered, and a dozen ,jars of fruit stolen
'from the cellar. The probabilities are
that both thefts were committed by
the same person, and the taking of the
fruit would indicate that the thief is a
householder. • .
