For so doing he has just been fined $100 and costs. The law' provtdesi—aprisoumene for an offence of this nature, and it was in• timated that the law would take its course in a future case. The Detroit Free Press says Can- adian stove makers visit the Ameri- can side and purchase designs and patterns. They did not do so form- erly.—London Free Press. What does our cotern mean by "formerly"? There are very few stoves manufactured in Canada which were not from American patterns, and at the time of the Philadelphia Centinnial a Canadian stove manu• facturer showed his gall by exhibit- ing there a Canadian manufactured stove, which still bad the American pattern maker's name on it. The editor of the Free Press should go to McLary's foundry and post himself, so that be would not display such dense igagrance. Practically the Red River Valley Railroad has collapsed. The citizens of Winnipeg were to advance $300,- 000 on the bonds, but when they ask- ed the Provincial Government for a pledge that the road would remain independent — that it would not be absorbed by any other line — the Government refused to give such a pledge. An Ottawa paper recently stated that there was a distinct un- derstanding between the C'.1'. •iL, and T Mr Norquay to embarras the con- struction of the road for this , year, and the actions of Mr Norquay cer- tainly give color to such a report. It is not at all likely that anything further will be done this year towards the construction of the road, and the people of Winnipeg may just as well submit to the inevitable with the best grace possible, W1s t the Coinpftny� j doom, nod what is said eonceruhrg its Instruments. We had au exceedingly pleasant and interesting visit to the Organ Factory of W. Doherty & Co. Found things booming, as usual. Shipments this week, one car of organs to Halifax, N. S.; two cars to England, and preparing to ship three cars to Australia next week, iu addition to their immense home trade. They surely have the lion's share of the Ontario trade. The superiority of the Doherty Organ is acknowledged. Churches, Societies and the trade in general select the Doherty Organ in pre ference to all others. We hope the firm will pardon us, but we wish to mention that the Women's Foreign Mission Society of Ontario has selected one of their Two Manual Pedal Bass Organs to send to one of the Japan Mission Churches, as former shipments to Japan of their organs had given com- plete satisfaction. -- -Among—the from churches in Ontario for Two Manual Pedal Bass organs we will mention one only, that of the Presbyterian Church of Guelph, which purchased one, as did also the churches at Regina and Cal- gary, N.W.T. The Methodist Church at Prince Al. bort, N.W.T., and we• might say all the churches in British Columbia (that have organs) have purchased the Cathedral Organs -from Messrs. Doherty & Co. The Medals and Diplomas awarded the Doherty Organ at the numerous Fairs and Exhibitions throughout the Dominion [mid abroad, show how highly they are appreciated. Below is what the Globe says about their exhibit at Toronto this year:— W. Doherty & Co. Sept. 8 No family need be without a good or- gan when instruments like those man- ufactured by the above company are offered. The Doherty Company manu- facture at Clinton, Ont.,and their goods have found a sale in nearly every part of the world. The exhibit near the South- ern entrance of the Main Building is only a fair sample of the excellence of choice offered patrons. The company claim to make the largest organs in Canada, and their long and wide exper- ience enables them to secure every ad- vanced suggestion that can give tone and quality to their instruments. The Doherty Company is one of the pioneers of the trade in Canada and their name is an assurance of honorable dealing. Doherty Organ Exhibit. Sept. 9 The above firm, manufacturing at Clinton, Ont., have secured extensive quarters near the fountain ou the ground floor of the Main Building, where they. have tastefully arranged their mellow- tened, aacLelegantly_,cased-instruments. Their display comprises a great variety of organs, consisting of chapel and par- lor organs of different sizes and patterns, some of the former being the largest of the kind we have seen on the Continent. This firm has no reason to complain of the attention ' shown them by the visitors, crowds of whom daily express their admiration of the instruments enclosed in the space occupied by Messrs W. Doherty & Co. Lovers of music intending to visit the Exhibition with a view of making a purchase should not fail-, to make an inspection of the above mentioned exhibit. The rapid changes and progress in inventions is shown by an improve- ment on the self -binders. Witbiu a very short time these useful machines have come into very general' use, and as a result thereof twine factories have been brought into existence to supply the demand caused by its use. No sooner, however do these factories get fairly into working order, and their machinery perfected as much as possible, than some ono comes along with an invention, which, if practical, will ruiu the twine trade and result in the partial "or'entire loss of the capital invested ,therein, The ihvention is simply an attachment to the self -binder, which manufactures a straw rope for binding purposes as the machine goes along. However the' invention has not yet come into general use. . : One of the stock objections raised by the opponents of the commercial union scheme is that if it was adopted our tariff would be regulated by the United- States congress. • The objec- tion is without foundation, The tar iffwould have to be arranged by mu• trial agreement and the Americans would have as much right to assert that theft tarifl'had been fixed by the Canadian parliament as Canadians would have for complaining that it had been arranged by the American congress. There has been placed on the statute book of the Dominion an act declaring that the government of Canada will admit imports from the United States free of duty whenever it has been shown that similar articles may be imported into the United States free of duty. Here the con- trol of our tariff is practically given to the Untied States Congress by Sir Leonard Tilley's tariff' bill of 1879. The high duties imposed upon fish, grain, flour, coal, salt, vegetables, hops, butter, cheese and other articles by the present tariff were, so it was alleged, necessary for the encourage- ment of our various industries; and yet parliament pledged itself to abol- ish all those dutiel>! the moment the United State- wlltr vongress expressed a -..:ngness to admit Canadian pro- ducts free of duty. The only explana• tion of the course of the government in thus placing it in the power of the Americans to remove that protection Which we were told was necessary for the encouragement of our farmers fishermen, dairymen, coal miners and salt manufacurers, is tbat the provis- ion in tiro statute was a sham and a fraud, to which it was never intended to pay the slightest attention. Since 1879 the Americans have removed the duties on a number of articles of Can• adian produce but the government have not carried out their promise to reciprocate. But the fact remains that by the tariff act introduced in 1879. which is still the law of the land the congress of the United States was given a greater influence over our Canadian tariff than it will be able to exercise after commercial union has been adopted. W. Doherty & Co's Organs. •-Sept, 9 A great success nae boon the exhibit of W. Doherty & Co's organs, and the thousands who have examined them have expressed their admiration, a large ntrmber of them in a practical way by either purchasing an organtht out or leaving orders. These organre simply perfect in everparticular, d demon- strate the fact tht the ost matured skill has been brought to bear in reed organ building. The claims of those itfstruments to superiority, will be sub. stantiated by a careful examination. The smooth, subdued, diapason tones, the touch and action are unsurpassed. The firm is justly proud of its success dur- ing the years it has been in existence,' and of the result of its exhibit at the Industrial. For full., smooth tones, quickness of response, beauty in design of case, and general finish of instru- ments, the firm challenge comparison. The large works in Clinton, Ont., have been the backbone of the town, and are' now run'1ing to their fullest capacity. W. Doheri, & Exhibit. Sepo ' The notable displayorgans made by Messrs.

Sept. 12 There was no diminution on Saturday in the interest daily manifested in the instruments exhibited by the above well- known organ manufacturers at Clinton. The apace in front of their exhibit was all day thronged with admiring epecta- tors, for who does not love to hear sweet music. Deficient in the appreciation of artistic deeign indeed would they be who failed to see something most attractive to the eye in the cases of their organs. The characteristic features of their in- struments are a smooth yet full: pipe - like tone, produced by a quick response to the most delicate touch of the finger, and the design and finish of the cases,to which qualities may be attributed the Tcoat favoritism shown these organs. he special feature of the exhibit is their newly completed " Jubilee" organ,which is a gem of its kind. This is a large two. manual organ, capable of effects seldom produced by the best masters. It con- tains almost all the different styles and compasses of reeds, which are voiced to produce the most tolling offeots, imitat- ing the different instruments in a com- plete orchestra, and ranging from the two -foot pitch in pipe organs to the 32 - foot pitch, including a powerful 80 -note pedal Bourdon. The tone varies from t mo h h-iea' 1j ot. s. a a lit h d t te-Ste 4ttnorous blending of the ftlggott,' Thls toassbiloe't organ oontaina • 2 sets of reeds, of 0, ta'F,es,.ean1r,,•besidee, the Medal Bouton, rpaking 72t yfbrators, with not two of the reeds prgduoing the • sanle.sivalityy of tones Upwards of one hundred different egeots may be pro- duced on this orgqan. Among the various imitations are those of the fascinating ViolinceUo, Faggott,->ldagio Flute, Kalaphone, Viol t)'Gamba,Bassoon and Clarionet, the Kalaphone being a stop of marvellous beauty in One coloring. A novel and brilliant effect is also pro- duced by a compound stop too good to b3 explained, and the ,iEEoline produoing the soft pleasing effect of the Violin and Delecanto. It is operated by foot or hand power. The pedal bass reeds are manipulated (without the pedal bass keyboard) on the keyboard of the organ, and by an ingenious device made for the purpose of holding the key down after the hand is raised, producing a pro- longation of tone until the key is detached, and is operated by either stop or centre knee swell. The mechanical arrangements are most ingenious, con- trolling the time and power, so that by proper manipulation the tone can be brought from the softest piano to the most powerful fortissimo. This organ is but another manifestation of what the Doherty Organ Company can achieve in producing.an instrument which does credit to the country, as well as to the manufacturer. Their display of Parlor Organs alone, includes instruments whioh stamp them as a firm possessed of sufficient enterprise and shrewdness to adopt the latest'°and most approved ideas in perfecting their instruments,no matter what the cost may be. The Town of Clinton should,indeed,be proud of having such a representative concern. Mason & Risoh, 32 King street west are Doherty & Co.'s Toronto agents. •" Music Soft 1 Music Sweet 1' Sept. 13 Wells forth daily from the Organs exhibited by Messrs Win. Doherty & Co. of Clinton, as the -•thousands of visitors thronged through the Main Building. In passing this exhibit, however, they were constrained to linger about the en- closure and gaze admiringly on the beautifully designed cases of their in- struments, while the sweet strains of the parlor or the deep mellow tones of the chapel organs aro wafted on the air of the ,central aria. Yesterday many sales were effected by this firm where in the swaying of the crowd it seemed im- possible to do any business, but buy the people would, so much were they en- tranced by the music discoursed.

To-Day.'s Band. • Sept. 14 Not satisfied with the magnificent re oeption accorded the Doherty Organs during the past week, the company has determined on making an additiona sensation by bringing down their band of instruments, the members of which will arrive by this morning's train from Clinton. This is but another feature of --firm's enterprise in providing music for the music loving visitors at the Ex- hibition at a very great expense to them- selves. A truly liberal firm like this will be amply repaid in time for such an outlay, enterprise like this being always, rewarded by an appreciative public. We had the pleasure of listen- ing to the musio discoursed by this band a year ago, and can bespeak for to -day's visitors a rare treat. The band assumes considerable responsibility when it takes upon itself to sustain the reputation ac- quired by the organs, butthemusicians are the manufacturers of the instru- ments; hence the success with which their efforts have met in turning out -organs which are models of art in ap- pearance and for tone cannot be sur- passed. Their city agents are Messrs Mason & Risoh, whose show rooms are at 32 King street west. Whose Band is That. Sept. 11 The reporter turned ou being Intel -PO. gated as above and saw a visitor who was at the same time a delighted lis- tener to the performances of the Doher• ty band of twenty-four instruments on the grounds yesterday. The aforesaid spectator not being able to work his way through the crowd was standing on tip• toe on the outskirts, and with his hand over his eyes to shade them from the sun, was endeavoring to .,read the name emblazoned on the big bass drum. The association must really consider them- selves 'indebted to this representative firm of the town of Clinton for the choice selections discoursed, in the ren• dition of which all the expression in- tended to be given by the composer was fully brought out. The Doherty Organs which have already been described at length in these columns, need no word of commendation from us, for tho many thousand visitors at the "Industrial" during the past ten days will not soon forget the impression made on their fancy by the appearance of the hand- somely finished cases and sweet tones of these iustrumonts. The well-known firm of Mason & Itiscb, of 32 King et,, west, aro the city agents for these organs. They .Have Gone. Sept, 16 That is to say Doherty's Band froth Clinton, by whom the visitors at the Exhibition for the past two clays have been entertained, left for home this morning, followed by the best wishes and hearty thanks of the many thous- ands who heard and appreciated their efforts during their brief stay amongst us. However, we have still got their extensive exhibit of chapel and parlor organs. Tho handsomely -designed cases of these instruments and their full, mellow tones, have formed one of the most delightful features of the ex- hibits in the Main Building. Now that the Exhibition is about to close ono of the greatest regrets of Torontonians is that Ibey will be deprived of the pleas - lire of listening to those instruments at will, and all day Ibng, and muat go about their daily duties, happy in the anticipation of reaching a home in the evening, which is blest with, one of house's brightest(! ornaments, an organ from the factory of Messrs Wm. Doher- ty & Co,, of Clinton. Messrs Mason & Risoh, of 32 King street west, are their city agents,in whose warerooms may be seen;a full variety of those favorite in- struments. W. Doherty & Co's Organs. Sept. 17 Cognizant of the fact that the exhibit of Wm. Doherty & Co., of Clinton, which has all along attracted such at- tention, was about to be removed, ,more than ordinary interest centered about it yesterday. Their band, which for two days contributed no small share of the qpioyment of the visitors at the ground, left yesterday morning, and - this morning their varied and extensive display of boaufifully encased instru- ments was removed by purchasers who have been anxiously awaiting(, tho pleas- ure of the Association. Tho press of orders is so great that only by accom- plishing a very great deal in a short space of time will they be enabled to make a display at Exhibitions iu other cities and towns west.

As one of the firm's representatives expressed it, " they do not find it necessary to put patents on their pedals to proteot them from mine, as all their organs are mice proof, and possess all the. valuable im- provements known to reed organ ma- kers." They have been awarded the highest premiums for many years past, amongst their rewards being the Colon. ial and Indian Medal and diploma. At Toronto diplomas in 1881; at Montreal 1st prize parlor organ in 1881, diploma for single bank pipe top organ, extra first for Chapel Organs, diploma for new valve tremolo, medal for general excel- lence. The exhibit includes a large number of different styles of organs, an elegant -chapel organ, but the gem of the exhibit is a large Double Manual Pedal Bass Organ, whose beautiful tones were displayed to general admiration yester- day afternoon, when Prof.' Birks, the organist of the Dundas Street Centre Methodist Church, gave an organ recital, and handed the man in charge the fol- lowing testimonial :— Mesons. W. DOHDRTY & Co. Gentlemen,—I had the pleasure to -day of testing your organs that were on ex- hibition at the Western Fair, and I can heartily recommend them as the best instruments of that class manufactured in Canada.

THE DOHERTY ORGAN BOOK. This is a new and improved work which was put on the market about six months ago, and is meeting with large sale. As an organ instructor, it is like their organs—it has no equal, The Halifax Piano and Organ Company write to say that it is the best organ in- structor in the market and is a great favorite with music teachers.

Misener, of Norwich, writes to say, "that Mrs Richard says she has -delayed thanking you for the "Doherty Organ Book," till she had perused it thoroughly; saw her in To- ronto, she said .it is just the work she wanted.

McNeil, travelling agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, has been can- assing Clinton for several days paetan e interest of that grand old company. he Mutual Life is the oldest company n the American oontinent, and, not my the largest Insurance Company, ut the largest financial institution in e world.t Some idea of he immense sources of that company may be rmed by the fact that the entire es- te of the Canada Life, the largest anadian Company, are only about ght million dollars, while according e Dominion Blue Book, the assets of e Mutual Life are nearly one hundred d sixteen million dollars. The Mu - al Life does not issue tontine policies other questionable piens of insurance, t its policies have a definite cash lie, the terms of which are given in ain English on the face of the policy, ere are no restrictions whatever in policies as to residence, occupation travel. The policy will be paid with - t delay on receipt of proofs. of death no matter how death may occur. By curing in the Mutual Life, you pro - o a certain legacy,ancl not a possible ve suit for your family. This Com- ny has made the necessary govern- nt deposit in Canada,and thus stands an equal footing with Canadian or glish Companies. Mr McNeil may seen at the Commercial Hotel.
