THURSDAY JUNE2O,1907 The Sovereign Bank. For some time past the Sovereign Bank of Canada has been the subject of touch comment in financial circles. The gradual decline of the stock as it was quoted on the Montreal and Toronto Stock Exchanges from time to titre was the first indication to the outside world that something was not right with the internal machinery of that institution. Then comes the res• ignatinn of the General Manager, I). M. Stewart, followed a few weeks tat- er by startling revelations brought out in the annual report at the sharehold- ers' meeting last week. It is needless to say the news came as a shock not only to the shareholders, but the pub- lic generally. The Sovereign was thought to lee one of the most pro- gressive and ably managed hanks in Canada and the pre-ent crio1,i can only he attributed to the bad management of the late manager, D. M. Stewart. Of his ability in some respects there is no doubt, but on the whole as a bank manager he has proved himself an utter and miserable failure. Mr. Stew. art is now a back number in banking circles; he has c ut the stick fur his own back and is now smarting under its influences. Through his eager de- sire and indiscriminate methods to build up a targe business a reserve ac• count of over a million .and a quarter has been wiped out of existence and t he Hank's capital has been reduced from four to three million,. This i9 praning with a vengeance. but it was 1 the only Means of putting the Bunk in a perfectly sound condition. This done the future prospects of the (lank are of the very hest. The Sovereign Bank is now probably as dean as is possible for a bank to be, and ita as• sets reported in the annual statement, which appears elsewhere in this issue, are in all likelihood considerably under valued, as no doubt a goodly amount of the contingent accuuUte will b`•' Ha) ahortly realized on and tend to build up an immediate reserve fund. '!'here seems, however, an impression exit- ing in the Minae of Many, who do not understated banking laws, that with the present Hurry in the Bank's Nuanc- es Money placed nn deposit is not safe. This is an entirely false impresseion. According to banking laws depositors can loose nothing, and all funds placed with the Bank in this way may be considtved absolutely safe. The Globe of Saturday commenting on the situation, says: ..*The atmosphere of the local market has been cleared by the recognization of the Sovereign Bank, and the invest- ment situation is that much improved as a result of the bank's annual meet- ing on Taeslay, A good deal of the heaviness which has characterized al- most all bank issues and other securit- ies this year could fairly he attributed to the uncertainty and distrust which attached to Sovereign Bank shares. The heroic treasures takers and the sturdy shouldering of the losses by the shareholders have litted that oppres- sive element out of the market, and F�as relievel the apprehensions of cer- tain investors. The uncovering of the Sovereign Bank's condition, the re- establishment of its finances on an ab- solutely sound basis, and the return of confidence produced by the election of the new Executive has been a good thing for the market." Lucan Thomas Harleton of Lucan was sentenced to two years in the peniten- tiary on Friday by Judge Elliott at London upon the charge of attempting to stab William Thompson on Christ- mas last et Fogarty's hotel. The evid- ence showed that after drinking to- gether the two tnen met at, the rear of the hotel when the prisoner attempted to stab Thompson, who struck him a blow that felled him to the ground and left him there. The judge said he did not wish to impose the sentence but found it necessary for the safety of the public. --At the June sessions of the peace Friday evening, Wilfred Tel- fer, a former resident of Biddulph and an ex -street car conductor of London, was found not guilty on the charge of assaulting a 14 -year-old girl living in London township. Telfer proved an alibi and was allowed to go. Grand Bend Messrs.

They made the trip here in an auto- mobile. CIlu lu ll WEDDleo.--One of the prettiest church weddings that has ever been celebrated in this village was that of Mr. Ruben R, Wilson and Miss Victoria, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrv. Jos. (,ill of this place. The extreme popn!arity of the win- some young lady .n social circles and he large and desei c'"1 stTectinnate re- gard entertained in her behalf by the residents in this vicinity were made manifest in the great gathering at the church, there being over one hundred guest°, from Parkhill, Ailsa Craig, Ex- eter, Dashwood and Greenway. At two o'clock while Mrs. (Rev.) Sutcliffe was rendering the wedding march, the bridal party entered the church and wended their way to the alter where Rev. SutclilTe awaited them and ere long the mystic word. were pronounc- ed that trade the two hearts one. The bride looked the picture of loveliness, being attired in a dainty gown of wliite mull, trimmed with lace and in- sertion: she carrying an exquisite bou- quet of white tulips. She was assisted through the trying °idem by hercnus- in Miss E. (.rake, who wore a hand- some gown of pink mu-lire/int, retried red tulips. Little Miss Florence Gill trade a sweet flower girl. wearing a 1(.11y little frock of white silk. The room was supported by his cousin, Ir. litiev.s, near Parkhill.

Mr. Powell, during his term as rector of St. Thomas' Church, has proven a capable mean and has so linked himself with all that concerns the welfare of the conimunity that his removal would he regarded as a distinct loss. It is understood that pressure is being brought to bear to have him remain here. The matter will be decided after the synod meeting in London.

The vast movement of young men in particular to the west is regarded ars the pritne ca119e. of the trouble and no solution seems to present itself. It is expected that harvest time will find the situation worse on account of the greater number of men required then and the only way out of the difficulty appears to belfor the wives and daugh- ters of the farmers to do as their grand- mothers often did—tarn out and work in the fields. ANNUAL REPORT The Sovereign Bank of Canada The Directors beg to present to the shareholders the Fifth.Annual Report coveting the year ending :30th April, 1007, together with a Statement of Assets and Liabilities as on the 31st May, 1907. Fur reasons which will be apparent as we proceed. the report tbis year deals also with events which have occurred since the closing of the hooks on :30th April, last. During the past year it became evident that the affairs of the Bank de- manded more time than the then president could give and be expressed his desire to be relieved of the presidency at the end of the Bank's year. At a meeting of the Board held on the lst May last, his resignation was accordingly accepted. At the salve meeting Mr. 1). M. Stewart resigned from the direct- orate and Mr. Aemilius Jarvis was elected to the Board to fill the vacancy tbus caused. Mr. Jarvis was subsequently elected president in place of Mr. Macdonald, who consented to remain on the Board, and was elected vice-pres- ident. Mr. J. H. Dunn, of London, England, who was here at the time in the interest of the Dresdner Bank, was also elected a director. It was represented by Mr. Jarvis that the duties of the presidency would take up a considerable portion of his time and that it would therefore he nec- essary to make his remuneration sufficient to compensate him for this. A re- solution confirming this arrangement will he submitted for your approval. The new president at once found it his duty to strengthen the executive, and on the Oth May, Mr. F. G. Jemnlett, who had for 22 years been in the ser- vice of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and for the last Hve years secretary of that bank, became joint general manager, Mr. Stewart being at the same time granted leave of absence. Mr. Jetnntett's first duty was to slake as com- plete and exact a valuation as possible of the assets of the Bank, and the re- sults of his valuations are given in bis report to the Board,which is as follows: (GENERAL.

O'BRIEN CANADA'S GREATEST PHREN- OLOGIST and SCIENTIFIC PALM- IST of Toronto will give his most in- teresting and instructive LECTURE Scientific Palmistry With chart illustrations on TUESD�Y IEIT, DONE 2914 at R p. m. in Opera House, assisted by his wife .MADMME BONVINI O'BRIEN. Late prima donna soprano, from Milan, and principnl concerts in Europe, who will render a choice selection of Irish, Scotch and English songs in her most artistic and finished Italian styles. Students of singing should not miss this great treat. As Prof. O'Brien's object in giving this lecture is not to snake money, but to instruct the masses in this most useful science, which bus been so much abused by montehanks and confounded with the vulgar fortune tell- ing he will charge ten cents only to defray expenses. Come and investigate and learn. Don't be sceptical of what you don't know anything about. Iiia lectures are always attended by the learned and intelligent, and his patrons are among the same. In addition to the educational benefit it will be an en- tertainment to be enjoyed; a lot of information of great interest to doctors, scientists and the public in general. You will be instructed and anttsed. Don't miss it. Remember it is only TEN CENTS. As Prof. O'Brien will only remain a very short time in Exeter intending patrons should call at once, or make appointments if possible. MRS. BILLINGS, Accompanist. Private Office at Central Hotel, Suite II See what the Ingersoll Chronicle, June 11, 1906, said: --"Scientific Palmistry" was the subject of a highly instructive Lecture by Prof. O'Brien, Canada', Greatest Phrenologist and Scientific Palmist, in the Town Hall last night. The audience was a large and representative one and very appreciative. That the visit of Prof. O'Brien to Ingersoll has aroused universal interest was dem- onstrated both by the Targe attendance and the attention hearing which he was given. Prof. O'Brien is a cultured and extremely pleasing speaker and impresses all bis bearers that he is a master of his profession. In addition to the able and instructive address by Prof. O'Brien there were several delightful solos by Mme. O'Brien who captivated the audience. Her program numbers were Kathleen Manvourneen, Uno Voce" from the Opera The Barber of Seville: Robin Adair, and Home Sweet Home. Her efforts elicited hearty and con• tinned applause, and in responding she sank, No Sir and Edinboro' Town se- lections which was also greatly appreciated. Madame O'Brien has a charming stage presence and her voice is of excellent range and remarkable sweetness and is tinder perfect control. Seldom indeed do Ingersoll musicians have the apportllnity of hearing such a talented voeal1.1 as Madame O'Brien and those who wet ascent last niesht missed a genuine treat. 1)ON'T F(JIt(;p;T 'TUES- DAY NET. SpecnlSahYrs and those contemplating a ehange in bitsiners should riot miss consulting him. Call and see the autographs of prominent people who have become rich and others holding prominent positions through his practical and hound advice.
