Western Wedding. In Saskatoon, on March 2nd, the lime of Mr. and Mrs. 3. hi, Oampbell Was; the scene of a very pleasant event when thelr sister, Isabella J. Camp- bell, Was milted in marriage to Alfred • Walker Belh one of Saskatoon's active young building contractors, The cere- • mony was celebrated at 9 8a, in., by Rev, W, W. Abbott, In the presence of a large number of relatives o tbe happy young couple. The Owns was assisted by Ur. Elmer Running, while Miss Sadie Oampbell, Sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid. The bride wore a dress of cream teffeta sill( trimmed with silk braid and crochet buttons, a bride's veil and wreath of orange blossoms and carried a bouquet -of white and pink carnations and midden hair ferns. Immediately after congratulations all retired to the din- ing room where the wedding breakfast was sex ved. The groom's gift to the bride was a necklace and pendant, set with pewee, to the bridesmaid a brace- let, and to the groomsman a pair of miff links. The bride and *groom re- ceived many costly and wend pres- ents, consisting of a tumble top man- tle clock from Wesley Church choir, furniture, efiverware, cutlery, cut glass, china and linen. The final scene was enacted at 12.45, when amid showers of rice the happy young cou- ple boarded the 0. N. R. for an ex- tended trip to Regina, Brandon, Moo- somin and other points. On their re- turn to Seekatoon, they vvill take up their residence in their new home. The bride is a daughter of Mrs. Ellen Campbell of Oulrosse To Pronouoce "Rabies." Do you know how to pronounce "rabies ?" It's two to one you don't, Two citizens of London, Ont., who thought they knew had a bet about the pronunciation of the word and both lost. One insisted that it was. pronounced as though spelled "ray" "bees," two syllables width would rhyme with babies. The other man insisted that it was "rah" "beets." To decide the matter they went to the pubile libiary and appealed to the lady assistant there. She got two of highest authorities, one an encyclope- dia, and the other A medidd pronounc- ing dictionary and the pronunciation as given in both shows that rabies is a word of three distinct syllables, and lt is pronounced "ray" "bee" "ees," the first syllable having the sound of "a': in ate. • Nelson Shield For Local Schools. We are authorized to state that Rt. Bon. Lord Strathcona's Nelson Shield has been offered by Rev. Alfred Hall, of Toronto, to each of the schools in the East Huron Inspectorate. There are no Charges or conditions. The British and Foreign Sailor's Society, which received the "Victory" copper from the Lords of the British Admir- alty, has undertaken the expense of mounting, engraving, and distribut- ing these historic Shields, and only asks esonie voluetary contribution to re-imburse them, and aid their Sailors' Institutes for men of the Royal Navy, Merchant Ships, etc., in Canada and all over the world. These Nelson Shields are highly valued for their patribtie and educational uses in the Universities, Colleges end Schools' where they are already placed. Pri- vate' colleges and schools are eligible to receive the Nelson Shield, and should apply for them. • ft • —With the talk of navy -building in the air, it is even to remember that the Brooklyn, the flag -ship of Admiral Schley thae was so effective in the American-Spardsh war, has been ture- en into the scrap heap. This vessel was built eleven years ago at the cost of several million donate, and now it is mere jenk. Fashions in battleships seem to thange as quickly as in wom- en's beadweer. Canada should be careful how she goes into navy build- ing. The Dreadnoughts five years from now will put those of to -day out of the race. Beery time an inventor devises a new leak, burglardona pro- duces a man who can pick it, or blow it to pieces, If some of. the millions spent in preparing for wars that stayer come Were spent in developing the re* sources of the country, malting good roads, erecting public buildings., etc., etc., the people would get more for their money, and the national debts of the world would grow less instead or constantly increasing. • The News A 1(nocker, The Teeswater (Batterinsky) News takes a few jabs at Wingham in its last week' is sheet, .by saying that our street lights are dingy, that our side- walks are narrow, out of repair, and the streets dirty, and that it is not the fault of her papers that she is going backward for they do all they can to boost but it seems that they are now preaching to dry bones and whited sepulehres. There is a certain kind of fish that have lived so long in the dark thee they have become complete- ly blind. The editor of the News has • evidently lived so long in a dark, bade - ward, bewildered state, that scales have formed on bis optics, and wben he lands in a place that is so well lighted as Wingham, his eyes become dazzled and of course light and dul- ness are all the same to him. As to our sidewalks being narrow and out of repair ana streets dirty, that is al- together contradictory to what hun- dreds of visitors say of our town who go about with their eyes open. ' We have our OWil opinion of any person who finds our fine wide sidewalks too narrow to navigate safely:. If they were tbe whole width of the street thee would even then be too narrow for eterae people. Yes, we will admit that we do all we scan tO boost our tcren, winch is not going backward. The News Can never be charged with Tieing a booster—it's a "knocker," and it has been "knoelcing" the village that supports it for many year. As to our citizens being dry bones, etc., that is all gulf. Wake up, Mr. Editor, rub your eyes until the scales fall off, and then come over and visit one of the brightest and cleanest little towns in Ontario, and you'll be sorry for all the peevish little things you have said about as, BoennEns WANTDD.— Enquire at the Advance office. 27.35.

Board Of Trade Meeting. The lioald of Trade meeting bola on Monday evening was a record one so far as attendance was concerned, When the business men of a town, to the number of about seventy-five, meet to diecuse matters pertaining to the welfare of that town, it is certaln- ly a healthy sign. The meeting was the most representative held for many years, and every citizen will back up any efforts made by this organization to further the interests of our town. The President, Mr. Rich, Clegg, occu- pied the chair, Mr. jno. Ritchie was elected secretary- pro tent, in the ab- sence of Mr. Theo. Ball. Communi, cations were read from a large auto- mobile Industry, and also from a large steel and tin industry, ingulting as to the advantages a our town .for the location of branch industries, and also as to what encouragement the town would offer for the location of same. Strong committees were appointed to look into these matters and th report at a future meeting. Other matters were discussed and are receiving at- tention, The next. meeting will be • beid on Monday evening, Mar. 21st, at 8 o'clock. Demise Of Mrs. Thom, Many will bear with deep eegret of the death of etre. Wm. Thom, which took place in Minneapolis, Minn., on Wednesday, Mareh Oth. Some thirty years ego, in Lower Wingham, de. ceased, whose maiden name was Ida Amelia Netterfleld, was married to 'her now bereft husband. Shortly after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Thom removed to North Dakota, where they have since resided, De- ceased was a life-long member of the Methodist Church, and was a faithful and loving wife and mother, and will long be remembered by her friends and ueighbors for her many acts of love and kindness. During the past thirty years, Mr. and Mrs. Thom have visited in and around Wingham sever- al times. On account of Mrs. mom's health not being very good they spent last winter in Vancouver. The change seemed to benefit her for some time, but about New Years she was taken down with nervous trouble. She went to Minneapolis to consult a specialist, and while there took worse and gradually sank until she passed peacefully away. Besides ber sorrow. hag husband, she is survived by three sons and, one daughter—Dr. Junes 62 Oregon, and Harris, Ernest and Hilda at home. She also leaves an aged mother, who had been staying with her for the past year, and three broth- ers and two sisters—John of Kish'', Snake William of Relearn Sask., James .of Big Fork, ont., Mrs. Wm. Cooper of Westhope, N. D., and Mrs. August Ronnith of Wingbarn. A Sad 13ereavsment. The many friends of Ur. and Um A, E. Lloyd will regret to hear a the (teeth of their beloved daughter, Florence Roth, which took place at the hospital on Tuesday morning of this week. Last wednesday the was at school as usual, but in the evening contplained of a headache, and al- though the next morning the trouble bad increased, no alarm was felt. But towards evening, more serious Byrn's- tomS setting in, the aoetor was sum- moned. The 'illness soon developed into an acute form of rheumatic fever attended with great suffering, wilich the young patient bore ten wonder,. ful patience and courage. On Mon- day it was thought advisable to re- move the little sufferer to the hospital. where, despite everything that medi- cal alit and careful nursing could do, • she passed away a little before noon on Tuesday. Ruth was a bright, lov- • ing and lovable child, in ber fourteenth • year. She was quite expert Mi a Musi- cian, and, very diligent in her school work, end was looking forward to passing the entrance examination in the summer. She was Vice -President of the Junior Epworth League of the Methodist Much, and took part in the entertainment given by the League a, few weeks ago, She was a great favorite with her young friends and. class mates in the Sunday School and Public School, all of whom are greatly grieved at her unexpected and early death. But it was in the home that her bright, loving nature was the greatest comfort and joy, and. it is there she will. be most sadly missed. We are sure Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd and their family will have the profound sympathy of all our townspeople and the whole community. The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon to the Wingham cemetery. Service will be held at 2.30 o'clock in the Meth: odist Church. 1. O. P. Open Meeting.

Although all that ekilful physieians and good eursing .could do, was done for her, yet it eves of ne Avail. All her suffer- ings were borne with the greatest of patience and christian fortitude and she died as she had lived, trusting in her Saviour. She was born in the township of Olark hi the year 1811 atul was married to her now bereaved hus- band % 1871. Shortly afterwards they moved to the 10th con. ot East Wa- wartosh and later to a farm. near Whitechurcb. About nine yeare ago they came to Winghain, where they have since resided.

A Practical Sermon. Rev. E. H. orgy, 13.A., preached a special sermon to men last Sunday evening in St. Paul's Obureb, on temperance," taking as his text 1 Cor. 8:18. Following is a brief synopis of his sermon :—Most of the christians at Corinth had come out of heathen- ism within five *eats. Their early training and their present surround - legs mane it hard not to give away to the dishonesty, debauchery and drunkenness which they saw on every side. One of the perplexing questions which early confronted them was whether it was right for them to par- take of those portions of the animals offered in sacrifice to idols which were not laid on the altar and which were sold in the markets or placed before them at the house of a friend in social feasts. Some thought by so doing they were countenancing idolatry which Christ came to destroy. On the other hand, the more enlightened saw that an idol being nothing, it did not injure the meat. Such questions are continually confronting christians of to -day, for the underlying prin. eiples are the satne in all ages of the Much of Christ. Many of these questions are ,connected with amuse- ments or recreation. Others are con- nected with Sabbath, • observance. But first and foremost comes the gees- tiort of abstinence from alcoholic drinks. Now what is the danger and what the remedy? The danger arises from the terrible results of intemper- ance. Intemperance debars our young men from ever attaining wealth, fame, learning and the highest usefulness which otherwise are open to them. It injures labor, because the most prosperous institutions in the world discriminate against those who drink. Canada spends every year in drink more than the paid-up _capital a all her banks, more than the accumulated. funds of all her fraternal societies which have been amassed by years of patient toil. Intemperance involves the sorrow and suffering of many innocent ones. It blunts the spiritual nature, for three-foerthe of all the crime in the world comes from drunk- enness. It injures health and finally leads down to death. It is under God's eternal ban and forever destroys our influence over others. What is the remedy? What did St. Paul pro- pose as a solution Of the meat gees- tion—"I will eat no flesh for ever- more, that 1 make not my brother to stumble." There may be some who have knowledge and a glass may not hurt them, but think of the panatelas thousandwho are ruined by it, and encouraged by your is:temple some brother will perish for whom Christ. died. You have liberty and are proud of your self-control. Your brother hat lost his, perhaps following pole Then sacrifice that knowledge and liberty to love. Not by legislation, nor by the !instate book can this ter- rible mime be driven from our land.
