CHIEF DOINGS IN THE LEGISLA- TURE, (From our Own Correspondent.) GMIERAL ELECTION Every indication points to a general election in Ontario, possibly in June and at any rate not later than the Fa% The Government has never been as weak as this year. The House is absolutely without a leader and confusion is reign- ing most of the time, with the result that the Government, already in the first month a the Session, ham made an astonishingly large number of blunders which has lead to severe criticisms not only from the Opposition but from sections of the Government press. The question a leadership in sue cession to Sir James Whitney is no nearer solution than it was six weeks ago, It is thought now that the Government will go to the Country under the nominal leadership of Sir James ;Whitney in an effort to hold the party to- gether. The general election in those circumstances will not be a contest be- tween Rowell and Hanna. Enough has developed against Hanna already and enough more to develop to make it easy for the people of Ontario to decide who should be Prime Minister, Hanna or Rowell. ALL NIGHT DISTURBANCE An all night Session of the House with much disorder, with mahy appeals against the ruling of the Chair and with threats of "naming" several members marked the efforts of the Government to force through at one sitting a Bill to idemnifv, among others unmention- ed, Howard Ferguson, Conservative Member for Grenville, who, by accept- ing a commission for the Dominion Government, had forfeited hisaesa in the Legislature and had laid himself open to a fine of $2,000 a day. The Idemnity Bill, which the Government forced through the House, was a general measure absolving all members who had thus broken the law and allowing them to continue in the future. The Opposition, led by Mr. Rowell, fought from three o'clock in the after- noon till five o'cloek next morning— first against the attempt of the Govern- ment by absolutely illegal means to over -ride the rights of the minority and force through this Bill with its three readings in one day which, with the Opposition oppoped, could only be done by the irregular suspension of the rules; second, against the gener- al nature of the Bill. Mr, Rowell made it clear that he was not opposed to re- leiving Ferguson if the latter would de- clare that he had made his mistake in ignorance of the law, but Mr. Rowell pointed out that this Bill was a letting down of the bars and an encourage- ment or corruption rather than a dis- couragement. Moreover, Hon. Mr. Hanna repeated- ly affirmed that a general Bill had to go through because there were other mem- bers in the same box. Mr. Rowell de- manded their names, but up to the present. they have not been disclosed. Mr. Rowell claimed that the general public had a perfect right to know who these men were and that there was no justification for the Government to con- ceal them. The appeal was finally jammed through by the Government's inajoety which, however, was opposed stremuously at every step. SUBSIDY FOR RADIALs. Thomas Marshall, Liberal Member for Monck, has an important notice on the order paper calling for Dominion aid to Hydro Radials in Ontario. It expressed a gratification that the general move- ment among the Municipalities of the Province to secure improved electric railway transportation facilities through the Hydro Electric Power Commission, declares that the House views with satisfaction the protript manner in which this question has been taken up by the chairman of the Hydro Electric Power Commissiot and would respectfully memorialize the Government of the Dominion of Canada to grant to Hydro Electrie Radial Railways constreeted by or for the benefit of Municipalities of the Province under the direction of the Hydro Electric- Power Commission, a tubs* in all respects equal to that of steam railways under the provision of the Act governing the granting a sub- sidies to aid in the donstruction of rail- ways. It is interesting to note that it was the Liberal Opposition, through Mr. IVItirshall, who also led the vvily last year in connection with the Hydro Radials. A resolution Urging the adop- tion of this polity was voted down by the Government but before the close of the Session, Legialtitiou along the same , line woe passed by them giving the Hydro Commission power to extend its le activities to the building of Radials in co-operation with Municipalities. LEGISLATURE NOTES At last, after seven years, the Work- men's Compensation Aet has been in- troduced into the Legislature. It was brought in by Hon. Mr. Lucas and its main eutline follows the draft bill of Sir William Meredith. It will be taken up by the House in detail during the next few weeks. The Liberals moved a vote of censure on the Government for presenting such an incomplete financial statement that the public of the Province could not find out from it the financial position. Business Men's Association. On Friday morning last a meeting of the business men of the town WPS held in the Council Chamber to clean up the business in connection with Dollar Day. The business men were so much encouraged by this venture that it was decided to at once forni an an associa- tion to be known as the Wingham Busi- ness Men's Association. The officers elected are President, A, H. Wilford; Secretary, Abner Cosens; Treasurer, W. J. Greer. The aim of the associa- tion will be to "boost Wingham." There are many ways in which an Asso- ciation of this kind can do good service for the town. One problem which is outstanding is the matter of more dwell_ ing houses for the town. It is very hard to procure dwellings for parties who deeire to become residents of the town and in this matter the Association may be able to devise ways and means for the building of several dwellings. Another meeting of the Association will be held in the Council Chamber on Fri - nay morning of this week, commencing at 10 o'clock and every business man in the town should attend. Away to Ottawa. XA big convention of the Great Water- ways Union and the Hydro Electric Radials is being held in Ottawa this week and large delegations are in at- tendance fr m all place$ in Western Ontario., on the Government and ask for a subsidy in aid of building radial railroads equal to that how given to the steam rail- roads.Y The Wingham delegation is composed of Mayor Irwin, Reeve Mc - Ribbon, Councillors Bell, Currie, Is- bister, Patterson and Young and the party left here via G. T la on Wed- nesday afternoon./ • Leigh -Smith Concert. The concert given by the above com- pany in the opera house last Friday evening was fully up to expectations and the large audience was well pleas- ed. Miss Vera K. Mullen, soprano, whistler and pianist, proved her ver- satility by her accomplishments in these lines. Miss Bessie Leigh's elocutionary efforts were up to a high standard.

A neighbor, who was going to help him, was putting his horse away, when the horse got frightened at the engine, the animal plunged into the poles and threw Mr. Deeves over on the saw.

Co-operation was the subject of a very interesting and practical address given, at Clinton, on Saturday afternoon in the town hall by A. C. Platt, M. P. P., of South Norfolk. About 200, mostly agriculturists, were present. Mr. Pratt mentioned Denmark as a splendid ex- ample of what co-operation can do for the farmer and showed how the people of that country have been able to raise and market their products with sur- prising results, under the co-operative plan The speaker's own county of Norfolk has benefitted largely by the scheme and he saw no reason why the splendid county of Huron could not materially increase their output of fruit and vegetables of all kinds to the great advantage of the producer. Several farmers asked questions which were fully answered by Mr. Pratt, and it was suggested as strongly advisable that Huron County should have a district re- presentative to give advice and assist - in the effort for more intense and scientific farming. No organization bas been formed here as yet, but there is a great need for a movement to most profitably utilize the splendid soil to be found in Huron County. Must Teach Etiquette. The budding school teachers in the Normal Sehools of the Province vvill now be called upon to give evidence of their knowledge of etiquette, for a book has just been prescribed for exam- ation in the teachers' course at the Normal Seal's and also for use in sthe school libraries. The subject is be- lieved by the Department of Education to possess a tefining quality which is an essential in a well-balanced education The Good Appetite. If man enjoys his daily vittles, he is a happy nibs; he need not care if Fort- une whittles a stick to prod his rib. In times of stress and grim disaster, if ar- petites survive, then men just throw in steaks the faeter, and pies in blocks of five. No woes or troubles can kelflu- mmix the men who like t� eat, who are equipped with modern stomaehs that simply can't be beat. Should Pate, that gran and grisly spinner of grief, camp on my trail, if I can have a good square dinner, her buffets won't avail. The men who how befeme disaster, who rernble and repeat, to whom woe stick. eth like a plaster, are those who do not eat. Napolion, to good fightera part - fel, once combed his scanty wool, and said: "Men can't be brave and martial unless their tanks are full." Let me but eat a roasted turkey, well staled, in farmhouse style , and though the outlook's dark and murky, I still shall sing and mile. I may be victim of ab - Uses. and woes may come in troops, but let me eat a pair of gooses, and I don't eve three whoops. Walt Mason. CFIURCI-I NOTES.

Monday evening was social night at the Epwortb League of the Methodist church and tea the form of a three - cornered social. During the evening three -cornered conversations were held, three minutes being allowed each time to discuss some of the most popular topics of the hour.

Lunch was served, after which everyone went home pro- nouncing the social a most enjoyable affair. Very successful Missionary Services were held in the Methodist Church last Sunday both morning and evening, and large congregations assembled to hear Dr. Endicott, general foreign mission- ary secretary of the Methodist church.

H. Croly, B.A., gave a humorous reading, "The Well of St. Keen" and the programme closed with the National Anthem. Travelling Jewel Case. Take a piece of lightweights chamois and cut a strip ten inches in length by four inches wide and fold it in the mid- dle. Begin at the fold and fasten a bnttonhole stitch to within two inches of the end and fasten securely. Cut one end lenthwise into 12 strips of equal width and two inches in length, then re- move each alternating strip, which will leave six strips, remaining. Punch six holes in the other end of the trip of chamois, taking care to have them dir- ectly opposite the base of each of the six strips. Draw the strips through the holes and fasten them seeurely together by sewing them to a half-inch square of chamois. To this square sew the ends of a narrow ribbon of sufficient length to go around the neck, Where the ends of the ribbon are fastened to the square of chamois sew on a tiny bow. The end through which the holes are punched is folded over, making a little finp, and should be trimmed round and buttouhole stitched, it is not necessary to put a fastening of any kind on the flap, as the ehatnoiS strips run through the holes, keeping the bag securely dosed. The public grows inereasingly tur- ious. Inquiry has also been made for the okl-fashiotied man who wore a ear- ved peach stone for a watch charm.
