A. 0, McKay- has resigned leadership of the Liberal party. Mr, N. W. Rowell is the new Leader. *** —All the members of the Borden Cabinet were re-elected by acclama- tion. * « * —The Toronto Globe sass "Remem- ber Lot's wife." From this we gather that the Globe does not want to gaze on the wreck of September 2Iat last. * ** —That Liberal paper, The Windsor Record once more chides Hon.. Alex, McKay for his carping criticism, and says ;—"Mr. Whitney promised us cheaper text books ; we got them and we're satisfied. It really matters little what firm issues the school books, so long as parents do not have to pay two prices." * ** —It seems strange, yet is true, that neither Italy nor Turkey, now engag- ed in wer,'he.ve a national anthem. Italy prizes "Garibeldi's Hymn," but it can ecarcely be called a national hymn. The young Turku after the revolution a year or two ago, offered a prize for a national anthem, but so far the poet of patriotism has not been found. •« * * —It took twenty lines of double columns width in the Canada Gazette, to hold the full title of Canada's new Governor.GeneraI. And yet in the picture we save of His Royal High - nese, he wore a, smile as broad and happy as if hie name was plain John Smith, and nothing more. The twen- ty lines of title seemed to be no bur- den to him whatever. * * * —The Scientific American reports a new use for electricity. The owner of an apple orchard in Spokane has con- structed an apparatus with which he hopes to rid his orchard of the codling moth. He uses electric incandescent lamps surrounded by a metal netting which is charged with electricity. The motile, attracted by the light, strike the wire and are instantly kill- ed. The cost of the storage battery and lamps is comparatively small. * * * —Talk about new towns and enter- prises, here is the latest. A new town was opened recently in the West, when a big strip of C. P. R. land was put in the market to be sold as town lots. The name given to the new town -site was "Coronation." Two hours after the track had been laid, the first C. P. R. train arrived (at night) bringing in the purchasers to attend the sale. The next worming, the track -laying • machine could be seen working just ahead of the train. The enterprising newspaper man was there too, and the Coronation News - Review appeared early in the after- noon, giving full report of the fore- noon's sales. * ** —A great deal of nonsense (and worse) has been said of late about the Nationalists, their demands and in- fluence. After allowance has been made for the heat of campaign state- mente, Mr. Bourassa does not by any means seem to be the monster he has been depicted in Liberal papers. Judging from his statements, the Nationalists do not consider them- selves allied to the Conservatives. They simply joined forces to oust Laurier, and that having been ac- complisbed, he says that the Nation- alists step back into their former posi- tion of independents. They claim to be truly loyal to Britain and King George. As to the navy, Mr. Bouras- s+i holds that the people should decide whether Canada should make a direct cash contribution for one or two Dreadnoughts, or go into the endless expense of building and maintaining a navy, No, one should find fault with that, for the people as a whole are sane, and if they Were coneulted more frequently, things would be more sat- isfactory. Whatever way the people decide, Bourassa says the Nationalists will be content. The editor of this paper has no use for this navy best - Wes. The idea of spending millions for nothing, and keeping a lot of chaps doing nothing of value, simply playing at War,_ well-fed, Clothed in pretty uniforms, etc., is a reckless waste of the country's cash. Teachers' Social Meeting. The business meeting of the Teach- errs and Officers of Winghanx Metho. dist Sunday School on Thursday even- iegwee both pleasant and out of the ordinary. A most tasty repast was -. provided and about fifty enjoyed the social hour, -accompanying the re- freshments. Superintendent Buchan- an then occupied the chair and the business was transacted, reports of progress given, etc. Dr. Price was elected Aseistant Supt. In place of W. T. Tian, who has removed, Four ad. dresses followed• -"The Sunday School as a factor In character building," by Rev. 17r. Rutledge ; "Evangelism hi the Sunday School," by T, Halt; "Personal Evangelism," by Dr. Price; "The relation of the School to the pupil out of the School," by Mr. Kerr. Brief discussion followed eaoh of these addressee, and Mies M. Lloyd contributed a bolo. The meeting was Moet enjoyably at well as profitably agent. Tt was decided. to give the Whole Selmal a tea at an early date. MOLE SOCIETY MEETING. The anniversary of Wingham Branch of the Upper Canada Bible Society was held on Sunday evening in the Methodist church. It was a happy thought that led to the union of the congregations on this occasion, ser- vices in the Presbyterian, Anglican, Baptist and Salvation Amoy being withdrawn. The choirs pf the Churches were united for the occasion and furnished excellent music, under the leadership of Mr. Hill. Mr. John Kerr, president of the local branch presided. Rev. E. H. Croly opened the service and Rev, D. Perry led in prayer., The first address was given by Rev. G. Victor Collins, It was au excellent presentation of the value pf the work of the Society, Mr. Collins took for the basis of his remarks Ecc. 12 ; 12, 13, 14, and showed the world-wide and age -long value of the Bible; tbe neces- sity for the consciousness of tbe woi;ld- wide adaptability of the Word to human needs ; the world-wide virility of the Bible, and the necessity for appreciation and propagation of the perennial spirit and Divine life of the Bible. After a fine anthem had been ren- dered by the united choirs, Rev. Dr, Rutledge gave the second address. He referred to the time and conditions when the authorized version was given to the world ; the improvements and progress since; the scarcity of copies f the Bible then, and what has been was given to the world, and the work accomplished during the three hundred years since passed, especially the effect of the Bible upon Anglo-Saxondom, The vast number of the human race yet without the Bible, notwithstand- ing all that had been done, was referred to, and the neceesity for additional effort was urged. Mr. Cosens then gave the report of the Secretary and Treasurer. Last year $151 78 was contributed by Wing- ham. and it is hoped there will be a considerable advance on this amount this year. The officers for this year are—President— John Kerr; Secretary —John Ritchie; Treasurer—A. Cosens; Representatives — Methodist Church, F. Buchanan, Dr. Redmond ; Presby- terian Church, Dr, Irwin, W.. A. Campbell ; Anglican Church, A. J. Alderson, 0, G. VanStone ; Salvation Army, R Mooney, G. H. Watson. The evening collection for the funds of the Society amounted to $32 02. The work of the Bible Society was also presented in the Sunday Schools; by Mr. Kerr in the Baptist, Dr. Rut- ledge in St. Paul's, Rev. E. H. Croly in the Methodist and Dr. Irwin in the. Presbyterian. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING. A meeting of the Town Council was held on Tueeday evening to consider a proposition from the Western Foundry Co. The business of the Co. is de- veloping to such an extent that they cannot keep pace with the orders, and anew site and larger buildings are a necessity. On behalf of the Co., the Board of Trade recommended the following proposition :—That the Town grant the Co. $750 towards the purchase of a new five -acre site ; a loan of $10,000 ; give exemption from taxation for ten years, (except school and county rates) and a fixed assessment of $15,000. The Co. to build and equip a new foundry, employ 150 bands the first year, and 200 the second; they confidently expect that 300 Haswill)a necessary. TTh e loan to be repaid in annual instalments of $500, for nine years, and the balance the last year. On motion of Couto. all and Bell, the Council decided to submit the proposition to the property -owners on Nov. 21, the By-law to be published in the Wingham Times. Lack of. space will not -allow of further notice this week. In the meantime every person should con- sider the question carefully.

The contest was between Mr. David Cantelon of Clinton, the Apple King of Huron, as he is sousetimes called, and Rev. Joseph Elliott of Goderich. Mr, Elliott received the greater num- ber of votes and hie nomination was made unanimous. Mr. Elliott is a Presbyterian clergyman, but he has no charge, having, lived retired in Goderich for several years. He. bas taken part in several political canm- paigns, and is a good speaker. Mr. Proudfoot will be the Liberal candi- date ; both candidates reside in Goderich. Committed For Trial. • An attack, that might have resulted seriously occurred on Thursday even- ing, shortly after nice o'clock.' A young man Alfred Posltff and a young lady, Miss Davis engaged in John- ston's restaurant, were standing at M. E. Zurbrigg's window looking at the pictures. in the window. Suddenly Miss Davis felt a blow on her head, and immediately following there was a crash of glass. It was found that Andrew Oruickshank bad hurled a large file at the young lady, the file striking her on her hat and going right through the plate glass window, even breaking pictures inside. The file was about 18 inches long and 14 inches wide, without a handle. Cruik- shank was arrested by Chief Alien and the next day brought before Police Magistrate Morton. A number of witnesses were on hand, who saw the deed, but the magistrate declined to try the case, believing it to be bet- ter to have itr9t nrn oved from the total arena, Mr. Vanstone appeared for the probecutlon and l.fr. Holiness for the prleoner, who was committed far trial and taken to Gloderieh that after- noon. Mr. Zurbrigg eetitnatee his damage at nearly $25. The result might have been very serlous indeed, if Mies Davis had received the -full force of the misblle thrown with euch fords as to do the damage that It d1d, North Huron liberals. The Liberals of North Huron met in Wingham on Thursday last in the Town Hall, Wingham, to select a can dictate for the Legislative, in the elec- tion now pending, Mr, McKenzie, for- merly chosen, having withdrawn.
