given, consistiug 0 vocal solos. by
Misses Eva Patterson and Miriam
Smith, Messrs W. Murch and 3. Hol-
land, readings by Misses M. Fleuty and

most pleasing number 0 the program

one joined heartily in singing the
chorus. The Rector gave a short talk
on Patriotism which was much evjoyed
and the evening's program concluded

Left for Prince Albert.
1,Many on our citizens will be sorry to
learn that Mr. Fred Hinkley has ec-
ceiated a position as bandmaster in Prince
Albert, Sask, and left on Tuesday
morning for that point. Mr. Hink-
ley has been in charge 0 the
Wingham Citizens' Band for a little
over a year, arid in that time'has made
many frielids.X While here as leader of
the band he bas brought that organiza-
tion, by his never tiring efforts and
good management, up to a high stand-
ard. Mr. Hinkley was a musician of
exceptional ability, and hie leaving
Wingham will be greatly regretted
but only by the members 0 the band,
not also by a large number of our
citizens, as he had always shown
himself a gentleman in every respect
and carries witb him the highest es-
teem of all who knew him, The TIMES
joins with his many friends in wishing
Mr. Hinkley prosperity in his new field
of labor in that western town.

Severe Punishment Imposed.
Our five hotel men were summoned
io appear before Police Magistrate
Morton on Friday last, charged with
violating the Liquor Act. Two spotters
from Toronto were present and 'gave
evidence that they purchased from the
Brunswick, the Exchange and the Ling
Edward Hotels, about the firet 0 Octo-
ber last, local option beer, which was
taken to Toronto for analysis. These
spotters visited the hotels mentioned
and asked for beer which was given
them without question, a portion a
this they took away with them, drink-
ing the rest. The charges against the
Queen's and the National were for
selling cider which wee said to be over
2 1/2 per cent. After a numbet of wit-
nesses had been examined. Messrs.
Putland, Lepard arid Sehaefee Were
found guilty of selling beer which the
Government analysis proved to be 5.62
per cent and a fine of $100 and costs
vvere imposed on each. The case against
Mr, Shaw of the National Hotel was
dismissed as His Worship was not sat-
isfied as to the length of time the cider
in question had been exposed. Mr,
Swarts case was enlarged for one week
to procure more evidence. It appears
he putehased eidet from the Dornition

The Hambourgs.
On Tuesday evening a Wingham audi-
ence enjoyed one of the greatest treats,
if not the very greatest, it has ever
bean their privilege to enjoy here, in
the concert given by The Hambourgs
before a fair sized audience. A capa-
city bouse should have greeted artists
of such merit. The company is com-
posed of Messrs Jan and Boris Ham-
bourg, W. J. Skinner, and Miss Angela
Binden-Edwards. Every number was
well received by the audience and the
.entire programme was beyond discrim-
ination, but perhaps one might mention
the trice, of violin, 'cello and piano, as
particularly delightful in the exquisite-
ly sweet Russian music. Also the solo
work of the Eambourg brothers was
something to remain with those fortun-
ate enough to hear them as one 0 the
high spots 0 their lives. Miss Binden-
Edwards' operatic soprano voice was
heard to dvantage in her first number,
"Operatic Aria", as also in her succeed-
ing numbers sung in English. The
audience was most appreciative and the
artists very generous. The Hambourgs
would be very welcome in Wingham
again.

Nobody is Blamed.
The inquest coneerning the death 0
Chester Hill, was resumed last Wednes-
day morning at 9 o'clock. About 18
withesses were heard, Among the
witnesses was Mr, Jones, Sewer con-
tractor, of Stratford, who said that in
his opinion the cause 0 the disaster to
a great extent was the encasement that
held up the earth at the bottom 0 the
sewer. He said he had found between
the bottom of the easing and the bottom
of the sewer, a space 0 about 20 inches
where there was no casing. He blamed
thie as the cause 0 the cave-in. The
responsibility 0 the whole undertaking
rested upon the foreman, he thotight,
as it was his ditty to look after all the
different departments, Mr. Hand,
sewer expert, 0 Brantford, gave
evidence very similar to that of Mr.
Jones. The jury retired at 2.30 o'clock.
ad after an hour and three -quarter's
deliberation they brought jO the follow-
ing verdict:— "We the iiwy impaneled
to inquire into the death 0 Chester
Hill, find that the same was caused by
the caving in 0 the crib work in whieh
he was working on Edward street, in
the Town of Wingham, on Monday,
November 16, 1414, and from -the evi.
denee given we Cannot phiee the blame
on anyone." Seeger and Vanstone
were the solicitors for the Crowe, while
'D. Holmes acted for the town.
These Critics are Everywhere.
An excliangn says:, Newspapers, in
their quest for news, have to deal with
many kinds of people. There are the
persons who "want it kept out of the
papers," and with this class of persons
the newspaper men come in contact
very often. These people have abso-
lutely no conception of tbe function or
Mission 0 a newspaper, and want - to
suppress everything. They forget that
the subscribers of a newspaper are pay-
ing for the paper in order to get the
news, aud that the paper in suppressing
legitimate news is not doing its duty
towards its subscribers. In this class,
too, there are the people who never
give newspapers credit for having any
brains or any judgment, and think they
should censor everything in the line of
news.
Work of Bible Society.
Followipg are some interesting stet-
istics relating to,the work 0 the Brit-
ish and Foreign Beele Society of which
the Upper Canada Bible Society is an
auxiliary, When the Society was
founded in 1804 the Bible was published
in 35 living languages. Since that time
the Society has issued 253,000,000
copies 0 the Scriptures in 456 langu-
ages. 100 years ago the Bible was a
sealed book to four out 0 every five 0
the earth's inhabitants, Now it is an
open book to four out of every five.
Last year the Society spent $4,000,00 in
translating, printing and circuleting
the Scriptures. Every missionary or-
ganization of the world is dependent
upon the. British and Foreign Bible
Society for copies 0 the Scriptures.
The work of the Society in Canada is
very extensive.

An Old Friend Haps.
We are permitted by Mayor Irwin to
copy the following extracts from a
private letter received by him from
Mr, J. B. Perk:son 0 San Jose Cali-
fornia, who was for many years a
prominent citizen, and Town Clerk 0
Wingham. "Believing that the Town
of Wingham is taking its part in tbe
raising of a patriotic fund or in the
raising of funds for the relief 0 the
poor Belgian sufferers, or both, I en-
close you here with my cheque for pm
which you wel kindly hand over to any
such organization in the town of Wing -
ham, or make use of it in any other
patriotic or charitable way as you may
see. Mr. Ferguson says that the senti-
ment in California is strongly in favor
0 the allies and that societies have been
organized to assist in Belgian relief
work, even country schools bringing in
their donations. Our readers will be
glad to know that Mr. and Mrs. Fer-
guson are in good health.

The best epitome 0 the day's pro-
ceedings is perhaps given in the con-
cluding words 0 an inspiring and

I say no, not a bit." All along the line
this challenge rang out. "From a

clared Hoe. Gen. P. Graham. "From
