SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
—The by-elections rendered nem -
eery by Ministers of the Borden
Cabinet taking office are dated for
November 3rd ; nominations, October
27th,
.The official census figures will not
be made public until Mr. Archibald
Blue, census Commissioner, has had an
opportunity to submit them to Mr.
Martin Burrell, the new Minister of
Agriculture.
—J. J. Hill, the great United States
railway magnate and millionaire is
expecting a bard winter. Well, he
has many good ones, in which the cold
cash rolled into his coffers in plentiful
supply, and if he has a hard winter
like the rest of us, he should not
grumble.
—We never know what treat is
ahead of ue. First we bad all sorts of
speeches and writings on Reciprocity,
and no sooner had we settled down
after that, when the Fall Fair prize
lists catered to our love of literature.
Now provincial politics loom up to
close the year with, Stiff diet, all in
one year !

—The new Governor-General, the
Duke of Connaught, arrived last'
week. Instead of his being termed as
Earl Grey was—His Excellency, bis
correct title will be "His Royal High-
ness, the Duke of Connaught, - Gover-
nor-General of Canada," "His Royal
Highness" may be briefly indicated by
the letters H. R. H.

—The amendment to the Constitu-
tion of the State of California bas
been carried, and Woman's Suffrage
will now be a law of the State. At
first, it was thought defeated, as the
14( cities polled heavily against it, but the
rural vote turned the scale, and the
change proposed has been adopted.
The women ote the State should now
be happy.
—It is generally supposed that in
travelling a person is more exposed to
accidents than at any other titne. Ac-
cording to an American Accident In-
surance Co., that has compiled a table
of accidents, this is not the case. The
list gathered from actual cases, shows
that it is twenty-five times more dan-
gerous to stay at home than to travel
by steamer, or six times more danger-
ous than to travel by railway.

—The Dominion Parliament will
probably be called for the despatch of
business on Nov. 15th. This is on
Wednesday, and the custom is for a
new parliament to be called together
for a Wednesday. The session will be
short, probably running only a few
days over a month, and will be devot-
ed to the passing of supply. After
the expiration of thirty days the
members will be entitled to their full
indemnity.

—According to a report issued by
the University of California, ordinary
house flies cost in the State of Cali-
fornia alone each year 6000 lives and
an economic loss of eighteen million
dollars. This seems an enormous foes,
but the University has such a national
reputation, that few will doubt the
correctness of the statement in the
report, which covers five years of
investigation of the action of flies in
transmitting germs of disease.

—Do not be too anxious to see alt
not he
ahead ofyou.It may
theh
y
way
best for you. The man who carries a
lantern on a dark night can see per-
fectly to take the next step. He does
not need to nee all the steps, for he
can take only one at a time, and when
he takes that step the light moves for-
ward for the next one. The trouble
with host of us is that we want to
see too far ahead. We want to be
sure that we are going to do some
great thing. Thenwe will not be
afraid to make a great effort. But
keep "pegging away," as Lincoln did.
Keep your trust in the Great Unseen
Power, which somehow brings things
out infinitely better than we expect.
NIGH SCHOOL HELD DAX.
Inmost of the Colleglates and larger
High Schools of the Province, Field
Day Is en annual event and rightly so,
because by no other means is the
ecbopl spirit aroused and the love of
outdoor sport so well promoted.
The fourth annual games of the
Wingham High School were held on
the campus on Friday, October 13th.
It was an ideal day and nothing more
was needed to bring the students out
full of enthusiasm for the events, The
competition in all the events of the
day was keen .and nearly every stu-
dent of the school was represented in
some contest or other.
The townspeople showed their in-
terest in the High School by attend -
lug the games in large numbers and
by their presence contributed in no
small degree to the success of the
day. and we hope that this will be-
come a regular feature in the school
programme.

WITH US NO MORE.
Death has been busy since our last
week's issue, and several homes in this
vicinity have been clouded with sor-
row and bereavement.
Mns. McGQWAN.
On Saturday, October 14, there de -
parted this life, a lady long -known
and highly respected, Mrs. Gregor
McGowan of East Wawanosh, De-
ceased had been on a visit to friends
in Halton county and while there took
ill, She was advised to return hotne,
and passed away on Saturday. Her
husband died some years ago, as the
result of a serious accident. , The
funeral took took place on Monday to
Blyth cemetery.
Mus, DucKF•TT.
The home of Mr. John Duckett was
again visited by death on Sunday last,
when his mother passed to her long
home. Deceased, whose maiden name
was Jane Sadler, came to this section
of country with her husband, the late
Lloyd Duckett, in the early sixties,
and settled in East Wawanosh, Mr.
Duckett, her husband, died about
eighteen years ago, and since then she
had resided with her son, Mr. John
Duckett, of Morris. Mrs. Duckett had
passed the four score limit of human
life, having reached the advanced age
of 81 years. She had been in failing
health for the past year. She leaves
one son, John, with whom she resided.
The funeral took place on Tuesday to
Wingbam cemetery, Rev. E. H.
Croly conducting the service. The
month of October has more than once
brought bereavement to Mr. Duckett's
home. His father died in October,
and only two weeks ago, death claim-
ed his young son, and now, ere the
month bas half passed by, his mother
also had gone to join the great
majority.
MR. W. M. SMITH.
On Friday last, there passed away
at his home in Walton, Mr. .Wm.11
Smith, who for over thirty years had
been a resident of that locality. Mr.
Smith had been engaged in the
mercantile business, but had retired.
A short time ago, be received a stroke
of paralysis, which resulted in his
death. Ile was a member of the
Church of England, a prominent
Orangeman, and for many years
treasurer of East Huron Conservative
Association. The funeral took place
on Sunday last and was very largely
attended the deceased being well and
favorably known. East Huron Con-
servatives sent a beautiful wreath to
be laid upon the casket. Messrs. D.
Holmes, C. G., VanStone, J. W. Mc-
Kibbon and C. N. Griffin represented
Wingham Conservatives at the fun-
eral, which was under the auspices of
the L.O.L. Mr. Smith had passed the
three score and ten years of life.
WILLIAM WATSON.
After a lingering illness from
a amnia, Wtn. Watson of Belgrave
Massed to his long home on Saturday
last. Deceased was born in the town-
ship of Colborne, and came to Bel -
grave over thirty years ago, where he
engaged in sawmilling and building.
Twenty-seven years ago he married
Miss M. E. Geddes, who passed away
two years ago. Mr. Watson was
as an industrious, upright
esteemedo ht p g
citizen, a good mechanic, and a mem-
ber of the Presbyterian Church. Over
a year ago, his health began to fail
and in April last he came toWingham
hospital, where he remained until hie
death. He leaves two sons, Harvey
of Belgrave and William of London,
and one daughter quite young. Ho
was a member of Blyth Masonic
Lodge, and of Wingbam Chapter.
The funeral took place on Monday
with Masonic honors. Blyth Lodge
secured the attendance of Wingham
Citizens' Band for the impressive
ceremony. Rev. J. A. Ferguson of
Belgrave conducted the funeral ser-
vice in Knot church, The friends of
the family extend sincere sympathy.
Will Consider it.
At the Liberal convention held at
Formosa on October 12, George An-
derson of Lucknow was offered the
nomination to contest South Bruce in
the Liberal interest in the approach-
ing Provincial elections. He asked
ten days to consider. Mr. Anderson
is an apple -buyer, and le well and
favorably known throughout the
riding.
The Sewer System.
Groves & Guest have completed the
sewer on Edward street. There are
now sewers an. the following streets--.
On Josephine from the G. T. R. to the
septic tank on the river flat; on John
street front the High School and
hospital to Josephine street ; on
Patrick street from Frances to Leo-
pold street; on Shuter street from
John to Alfred street ; on Alfred from
Shuter to Josephine street; on Maple
street from Josephine to Sheter
street ; on Centre street from near
John to Maple street; on Edward front
Alfred to Patrick street. Residents
on other streets are anxious to have
the system extended, so that they
may have the convenience, but no
more extensions are likely this year.
Very few towns of the size of Wing -
ham have so estensixe a sewer
system.
Town Councii Meeting.
A brief session of the town Council
was held on Monday evening, to
consider a petition for a water -main
from John street to the hospital.
Some time ago the hospital laid a one -
inch pipe at their own cost. This
having been tapped to supply one
residence and a flush -tank for the
Town, the pressure was diminished.
Mr. Clegg, president of the hospital,
and Dr. Redmond spoke in favor of
the petition, which, on motion of
Coups. Elliott and Bone, was referred
to the Commissioners with request til"
proceed with the work. There is
sufficient annual revenue already to
pay the debenture necessary outlay,
so that the Council really had no
option in the matter, and so the work
will no doubt be done as soon as
possible.
Free Lecture.
On Monday evening, 23rd lust., Mr.
Watson, Field Secretary for Muskoka
Hospital for Consumptives, will give a
free lecture in Wingham Town Hall,
on the cause and prevention of the
dreaded disease, consumption. The
lecture will be illustrated by a hun-
dred lantern views, making it exceed-
ingly interesting and instructive.
Mr. Watson gives many helpful sug-
gestions as to avoiding and arresting
the spread of the disease, and his
lectutes draw large houses. There is
no charge for admission, but a col-
lection will be taken in aid of the
hospitals. During the past fifteen
years the hospitals in Muskoka and
at Weston have cared for about 5,000
patients, and are spending over
$60{000 a year on the free depart-
ments.
CHARLES McO,LELLAND.
Suddenly, at noon on Sabbath past,
there passed away Chas. ,McClelland,
J. P., in his 85th year, after only a
few days of slight indisposition.
Born in Ireland, be emigrated to Ca-
nada soon after his marriage in 1849,
eettling in Hornby, in Haltom county,
where he taught school, residing there
until 1880, when he movedd to Belgrave
1►nd resided there Continuously until
his death. Hie wife predeceased him
in Oct. 1887. four sons, Chas. and
Alex, at hone, Harry and Robert in
Nebraska, and two daughters—Maggie
and Matilda survive him. His eldest
son, Jaynes, died many years ago.
Deceased was a man, who took great
interest in public matters, but so far as
we know never aspired to public
office. He was a man of sterling In-
tegrity, kind and helpful to others.
His death is a loss to the entlre tonus
munity. Be wee appointed Justice of
the Peace by the Mowat Government,
and reappointed by the 'Whitney ad-
minietration. In polItioal matters he
was identified with the Liberal party.
The funeral tool; place on Ttteeday.
To California.
Walter T. Hall, son of the editor. of
The Advance, left on Thursday for
Pasadena, Southern California, where
he enters the business of his next
elder brother, who is one of the lead-
ing business men of the city. Paseo.
dena (meaning vale of Eden) is a very
wealthy and growing city of nearly
40,000, about ten miles inland from
Los Angeles, with which it has electric
ear connection every seven minutes.
As the city lies at the foot of Mt.
Lowe, it is protected from the hot
desert winds ; it also has the benefit
of the ocean temperature, and hence
is a most delightful place in which to
reside. It is a "city of Churches" and
bas a superior moral atmosphere. It
is exceedingly gratifying to a parent
to hear the many kindexpressions of
regret at the removal of a son.
Scores of sincere friends immure us
that he will be missed in Chureh and
social circles, but in no place will his
removal be felt more keenly than in
the home, and in the office of the
Advance.

bread, was established by W. S. Gabel,

thirty minutes elapsed between the
time when the wheat was cut and
when Mr. Gabel took the first bite
of a biscuit which had been made
from it. As soon as the grain was

half to a mill and made into flour and
then taken to a baker who made the
biscuits. The previous record is said
to be one hour. '
