SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS,
—Very few refa
se to believe all the
good things they hear of themselves,
It is human nature.
* * *
—We are often told that it is wise
to "take things just se they are."
We knew of one man who did that
and was landed in jail,
* **
—The great convention of Liberal -
Conservatives for the Dominion that
was intended to be held in June, has
been postponed indefinitely.
* e*
—Because a Baptist Church in
Hamilton is endeavoring to secure
Rev, J, W. Salton of Picton as their
pastor, we are not all warranted in
supposing that the Church is spoiling
and needs Salt -on,

—Notwithstanding the efforts of
scientists to find if possible a cure for
cancer, that dread disease still con-
tinues to increase. New York Bureau
of Health reports an increase in mor-
tality for the quarter ending March
31st, and cancer heads the list as a
cause of death.
* * *
—The meanest man of all has been'.
discovered in Montreal. He pocketed
his wife's teeth, then cooked himself a,
nice, tender beefsteak, and she had to
watch him eat it, without being able
to epjoy any of it herself. This went
on for several days, when the lady
took the matter into the Courts, and
her teeth were restored to her.

-The Canadian Parliament was
prorogued on Wednesday of last
week; after the Commons having sat
103 days and the Senate 68 days, or a
little over half the time of the Com-
mons. The pay, however, is none the
less though the session was short, and
possibly it was long enough for the
old chaps in the Senate. Two hun-
dred and thirty-five bills where intro-
duced ; of them, one hundred and
seventy-seven passed. In divorces,
the Senate had a great time, for no
lese than twenty. cases were presented,
making a record in this particular.
* * *
—There is another vacancy in the
Senate. Sullivan of Kingston is Sen-
ator no longer, having through illness
been prevented from attending for
two years. Sir John Carling has also
been ill, but slued his seat by attend-
ing one day this session, in the care of
one of the members of his family.
We do not want to be unsympathetic
or hard-hearted, but if the whole
bunch were too feeble to attend, and
as a consequence lost their jobs, we
cannot see that the country would
suffer severely.
It is claimed that the earth will sups
PG five to
i persons an acre of its fer-
tile
tile land, or six times its present popu-
lation, to. say nothing of vast areas
that may and no doubt will be yet
reclaimed from its waste areas. The
United States has only 28 persons to
a square mile, but Belgium has 630,
and Saxony, 777: Statistics indicate
that Japan can show a population of
2,227 to the square mile. On two and
one-half acres are comfortably fed
and housed families of twelve, be-
sides a cow, small donkey and two
pigs, which goes to show that Japan
could have 3,072 people on every
square mile or cultivated land, or
nearly five to the acre.
Church 'Dews
Rev. A, E. Jones, formerly of Ben
grave, and who is now closing a Enc-
cessful four year term at Auburn, has
accepted an invitation to Belmont cir-
cuit, subject to the approval of the
Stationing committee.
Last Sunday n a was intended to have
been a special day for missions in the
Diocese of Huron, but owing to the

suitably draped in black and purple.

King Edward VII No More.
King George e V Reigns.
On' Friday evening, the tolling of
the Town bell and that of St. Pant's
Church, announced to the public the
death of His Majesty, Ring Edward
VIT. The Bing bad taken cold, bron-
chitis and pneumonia set in, and fif-
teen minutes before midnight on Fri-
day Iasi, one of the best of Britain's
monarchs had passed the boundary
of time. On account of the difference
in time, the news reached Wingham
about 8 p,m„ and at 8.30 the tolling of
the bells indicated the passing of the
wise King, known as "The Peace-
maker,"
Ring Edward was born November
Oth, 1841, and died May 6th, 1910 ;
hence was in his 09th year. His.
coronation was intended to take place
June 26, 1902, but his illness then de-
layed the ceremony until .August the
9th, 1002.
The King's last words during a short
time of consciousness were :—
"Well. it is all over, but I think
I have done my duty,"
The eldest son of King Edward (the
Duke of Clarence) died in 1892 ; hence
his . second son, George Frederick,
Ernest Albert, Duke of York,.becomes
King, under the title George V. He
was born June 3rd, 1865, He was
married to Princess Victoria May, of
Teck, July 6, 1893..
George V comes to the throne in a
critical time in the British political
realm. His will not be an easy task,
but it is hoped that he has inherited
his father's tact, good judgment and
peace -loving qualities.
So 'while mourning the death of the
wise, tactful Edward VII, Canadians
look forward with confidence, and
pray
GOD SAVE KING GEORGE V.

Sunday School Anniversary.
Sunday last was anniversary day in
Wingham Methodist Sabbath School.
Rev. E. W. Ha'penny, Secretary of
the Ontario Sunday School Associa-
tion, was the preacher for the day.
In the morning, the School was out in
full force, and Mr. Haipenny gave en
appropriate address on the words—
"Consider the lilies." In the after-
noon, there was a large attendance at
the platform meeting, and an address
was delivered by Rev. Mr. Halpenny.
The annual reports read by the Sec-.
retary and Treasurer were very en-
couraging, and showed that the School
is in a most prosperous condition
under the superintendency of Mr.
Buchanan. The afternoon service
was then brought to a close by a few
remarks from the pastor. In the
evening, another excellent address
was given by Mr. Halpenny on—"The
call of the child." The Sunday School
choir assisted by the Church choir,
under the leadership of Mr. Hill, ren-
dered fine selection of musfc. The
anniversary services were helpful and
enjoyable,
The church was prettily decorated,
and on the platform, the portrait of
the late King was draped in -black.
On Monday evening, the School
gave a fine entertainment, consisting
of recitations, motion songs, various
drills, and selections by the choir,
For an hour and a half, the program
pleasingly entertained the audience.
All the children did well, many of
them remarkably well, but we forbear

A SAD AFFAIR.
Bance.
WINGRAM, ONT., THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1910,
Mrs, James H. Finlay Of sower Town
Accidentally Shot.
On Friday last, a lamentable occur,
renes startled the residents of this
town, especially of Lower Wingham,
where the sad affair happened. Mrs,
Jaynes 11. Finlay had gone over to
her sister-in-law's, Mrs. Robinson's, to
assist her in papering a room. Soon
after ten o'clock, a young man, named
Norman Thompson, came 'in to take
grocery orders for his employers.
While there, he took down a gun that
was hanging in its place above a door-
way, and while handling the weapon,
it was discharged, the charge striking
Mrs, Finlay in one eye, killing her
instantly, Coroner J. le. Kennedy
was notified and a jury empanelled,
consisting of Geo. Spotton (foreman).
A. Mills, R, Knox, W, J. Johnston, J.
Linklater, W. D. Pringle, R. Carson,
A. Crawford, R. S. McGee, W. Patter-
son, A. M. Predicts, T. Cassels, T. E.
Ford, S. Young,
The inquest was held on Monday
afternoon, with Coroner Dr, Kennedy
presiding ; County -Crown Attorney
Seager being present for the Crown,
and Dudley Holmes in the interests
of the young man.
Mrs. Robinson was the first witness,
Her evidence was in effect, this—Mrs,
Finlay had come to assist her in paper-
ing, and about 10.15 Norman Thomp-
son came in, and after some trivial
conversation wasabout to go home,
when he saw the gun hanging over
the door. Ile took it down, and
pointed it in the room avhere the two
women were, Mrs. Finlay said,
"don't point it at us," and Mrs. Robin-
son said "if it was loaded, I would get
over into the corner," and immediate-
ly the gun went off, with fatal results.
Thompson did not put the gun to his
shoulder, but held it by his side.
Dr. Tamlyn gave evidence as to the.
condition in which he found the body
of the deceased.
Mr. Robinson was next witness,
He had loaded. the gun that morning,
and placed it in safe position over the
door ; could not say whether he had
thrown the cartridge in the chamber,
but was always careful to put the
hammer down.
Norman Thompson was then called
to the stand ; he gave his age as 18 ;
he was not accustomed to fire -arms
and knew nothing about mechanism
of the gun ; could give no reason for
taking the gun down ; thought Mrs.
Finlay aeked if it was loaded and Mrs,
Robinson said, "if it was I wouldn't
sit here." He remembered pulling the
trigger, thinking the gun was not
loaded, and had bold of the hammer
when pulling the trigger.
The jury then retired in charge of
Chief Allan, and after consideration,
returned the following verdict—
"That Edna Finlay met her
death from theis r
dr eha a of a gun
in the bands of Norman Thop-
son, and that the discharge was
accidental." •
Mrs. Finlay was in the prune of life,
and without a moment's warning was
ushered into eternity. She was an
adherent of the Baptist Church, and
member of the choir, and generally
respected. The funeral took place on
Tuesday to the early G.T.R. train, for
interment in Fremont, Ohio.
This sad affair is another warning
against the careless handling of fire-
arms. The young man evidently in-
tended no harm, but his thoughtless
act ended a life prematurely, brought
sorrow to the home, and sadness to
his own heart; for naturaITy he feels
deeply grieved over the result of an
action that might have been avoided.
Will others take warning P

LLOYD BY-LAW POINTERS.
1—The by-law will be found this
week on page 4 ; support it and thus
help to strength Wingham.
2—Don't knock the Town, by help-
ing to drive away what may be a per -
'Intent industry,
3—By the fuse made by some people
about the two small pieces of ground
to be leased under the .by-law, one
would think it was a five acre lot,
The facts are—The Davidson lot is
only a very small lot and the build-
ings have long since seen their best
days, while the gore lot only com-
prises a few square feet, and is no
use whatever*, except to drill artesian
wells on, and that privilege is reserved
by the Town under the by-law. 13e -
sides, it is decided to drill the wells at
the electric light plant.
4—A large property -holder of Town
thought of erecting another building,
which would add to the Town's assess-
ment, but he told the Advance that he
will not do so if the By-law is defeat-
ed, because its defeat would hurt the
Town,
5—The very fact of Wingham'allow-
ing an industry to Ieave woulcd be a
blow to the Town's good name far and
near; and would practically be an an-
nouncement to the public, that we
"didn't care much" for the progress of
our Town, Don't help to kill the
Town,
6—The editor of this paper had pre-
pared a statement of figures showing
that the annual debenture incurred
by this By-law will be more than re-
paid every year by the firm (if they
remain) in rates and taxes, to say no-
thing of the importance of retaining
twenty or thirty of our population,
all of wham will spend more or less
money in town. We are not giving
the figures prepared, as the Board of
Trade is issuing an official circular on
the matter. .If any opponent of the
By-law really wishes to know how the
defeat of the By-law will affect the
Town, he will not have far to go to
end out -the figures.
7—A well -attended meeting of the
Board of Trade was held on Tuesday
evening on short notice, and the
Board endorsed the By-law by a
standing vote. A strong central com-
mittee was formed, consisting of Pre-
sident Clegg, A, Cosens, Dr. Red-
mond, A. H. Musgrove, S. Bennett,
R. Vanstone, G. McKenzie, W. J.
Greer, J, Ritchie. This committee
will prepare a circular letter and stake
the ground of the small piece of Iand
proposed to lease. The Ward chair-
men are—Ward 1—W. J. Greer ; 2—
A. I3. Musgrove ; 3—A. Cosens ; 4-
0. N. Griffin, Geo. McKenzie.
8—The firm intends that the propos-
ed factory shall cost over $14,000 and
possibly $15,000. Surely no sane rate
payer will by his vote "knock" the
Town by helping to prevent the erec-
tion of a factory costing that, and pro-
posing to more than double its out-
put. P e
9—The firm pays now wages
amounting to $7,500 yearly; it pro-
poses to double the output, and the
wage bill will probably run over $15,-
000 annually,
10—A circu'.ar letter will be sent to
every voter. Read it carfully and
vote intelligently. Let us then --
Hold fast what we have,
Retain our population.
Encourage our industries.
Don't let property values depreciate.
Don't "knock" the Town, but
SUPPORT TeiE BY-LAW.
Peculiar. Co•Incidence.
A commercial traveller was in town
on Friday last, when the sad fatality
occurred in Lower Wingham, and
when the news of the death of King
Edward VII came, The same travel-
ler noted the fact, that he was in
Wingham the day that news of the
death of Queen Victoria came, and
thereas le
w a traveller, er, guest nest at Hotel
Brunswick, dropped dead that day.
It was rather peculiar that similar oc-
currences should mark these two
visits.
A Commendable Course.
The mart who wrote the following
had the right idea of life, at least one
phase of it 1 --Encourage every home

it all over your city, in every factory,

May—"From the 0th to the 12th, cen-
teringonthe ninth,is one ofthe
a most

There will be a great strain on the
earth at this time, and earthquake.
shocks are almost certain to occur
about Friday the 6th, and Thursday,
the 12th." The daily papers of Satur-
day reported that on the 6th, there.
was an earthquake in Costa Rica, and
500 people lost their lives. At Ottawa,
the Canadian capital, the shock was
noted, and the instruments measured
the vibration of the earth.

A Tedious Case.
A tedious case has been before
Police Magistrate Morton tbis week,
and as we write is still in. progress.
On Sunday, April 10, a man -named
Ross Reid hired a horse from Beattie's
livery, From word received and
from the condition of the horse, Mr.
Beattie learned that the animal had
been abused, and naturally displeased
at the treatment his horse had re-
ceived, he undertook to apply prompt
penalty. The results were—a charge
against Reid - for abusing the horse,
and the issue of a writ by Reid
against Beattie for assault. The evi-
dence was very contradictory, so
much so, that it indicated very loose
ideas regarding the sanctity of an
oath to tell "the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth."
A Short Courtship.
•A romance which will take a place
among the interesting incidents of
Ontario took place at Paris, Ont..
One day last week a young man se-
cured employment at Penman Com-
pany, the big woollen manufacturers.
Looking over the factory girls of
whom there are about a thousand, he
singled out one, asked her address,
called on her Friday night and mar-
ried her Saturday afternoon, the cou-
ple leaving that evening for their new
home in Seattle, where the young
man, who gives his name as George
West, is said to be a civil engineer.
The girl was Miss McMillan, who
came out from England three weeks
ago. The groom who secured employ-
ment merely to pick out his wife, re-
funded the Penman Company $60
passage money, which had been ad-
vanced to bring the girl to this
country.
