A SAD BEREAVEMENT.—It is our
painful duty
chronicle the death of
to
Beulah May, aged four years and ten
mouths, only child of A. W. and Mrs.
Marquis, Belmont Man. This sad
event occurred on Monday afternoon,
November [8th, after a abort illness of
cerebro -meningitis, The funeral ser-
vice on Tuesday afternoon was con-
ducted by Rev. Mr. Hopper in the
Methodist church, which was suitably
draped in white. The casket was
covered with beautiful flowers from
sympathizing friends, including a
wreath from the Methodist Sunday
School ; spray from Mrs. A, Tumotb ;
wreath froin Mrs. Smillie ; spray from
Winnie McLennan, and a wreath from
the Ladies' Aid of the Methodist
church: Being of a bright, cheerful
disposition Beulah was a general
favorite with all who knew her. The
sorrowing parents have the sympathy
ot the entire community in their hour
of affliction.
HARVEST HOME . FESTIVAL.—The
Manor (Sask.) Advocate, of Nov, 22nd
refers to former residents of this town-
ship, in the person of N. M. and Mia
Anna Richardson. as follows '—A
Harvest Home Festival was held in
the Presbyterian church on the even-
ing of November loth. A bounteous
spread in the basement gave the key-
note to the entertainment, Much care
was shown by the ladies in the ar-
rangements of the several tables,
which were at once tasteful, beautiful.
wad sumptuous. The program was
begun in the church shortly after 8
o'clock, The audience was large and
comfortably filled the building. On
the platform beside the pastor, Rev.
Hugh Hamilton, B. A., B. D. were
Rev. G„ W. Qinty, of Redvers, T.
Smith of 0ilmore and D, . H. Jacobs,
of Carlyle, all of Whom delivered ad-
dresses of a high order, witty, humor-
ous and instructive. Mesdames. Midge
ley, Bosomworth and Combo sang
solos iu their best style and were . en-
cored. A bass solo was rendered by
O. Dawson entitled, . "The 'I'WO
Cities," which gave fine scope for his
full vocal range, The youngest soloist
of the evening was Laura Addaway,
Who sang "In the land where the
Angela are" and received a hearty

LEATHERDALE & SON.
DEBATE,—The question debated in
Gibson's Hall Saturday night was
"Resolve that money was more influ-
ence over man than woman was," and
both sides were so well sustained that
the judges bad great difficulty in
arriving at a decision but finally gave
it to the negative with one point to
spare. The Hall was packed to the
doors with an appreciative audience
and although many were uncomfort-
able the order was excellent. The
reason for not meeting in the Town-
ship Hall was that the 'township
Fathers had seen fit in their wisdom to
raise the rent to such a figure that the
Society could not pay it. The next
meeting willl be held Saturday
Dec.
7th. The subject and place of meeting
will be announced in Tim Pose next
week,
invited to come to Goderich and investi-
gate. He prnounces some of the cases
an exceedingly mild form of smallpox
but says there is not the ,slightest oc-
casion for alarm as the trouble can be
cleaned out puite easily and quickly.
Every precaution is being taken, The
Board of Health are bolding daily
meetings, a strict quarantine is put on
any suspected houses, compulsory
vaccination bas been .introduced, the
schools are closed Ulla week and a
vaccinatiou bee took place at the Town
Hall Saturday afternoon for the child-
ren a certificate of successful vaocioa-
tion being required. before they will be
allowed to return to school. If there
is any success at all with the vaccina'
tion, those who have the so-called
smallpox itself will no doubt be able to
contemplate the rest of the population
who are taking the prevention, with
feelings of relief that they themselves
bad the disease instead of the prevent-.
ion. for there will -be a far sicker lot
from the vaccination than from the
disease. Sunday the chnrches and
Sunday schools were closed, and
theatres, lectures, skating rinks, etc„
are closed or cancelled, but there is a
prevailing opinion that .'far more
strenuous measures are being taken
than are necessary, as there is doubt
in a good many minds yet as to
whether there isany smallpox or not
here, and this opinion is not apparent-
ly confined only to the laity, for one at
least of the smallpox suspects were
allowed out on Saturday by his medical
attendant. Some of the houses where
the trouble —whatever it is— bas been
were disinfected Monday morning and
it is probable a very abort time willsee
the end of it.

ABOUT WINDSOR—DETROIT
TUNNEL,
Letter Prom 3. D. Ronald.
Dean Sra,—We have been visiting
Detroit the last few weeks, and Bite. most
people were unxioae to know the modne-
operandi of the great work now inpro-
gress—the -Railway tunnel- under
F
Detroit river. We visited the spot, the
approach to the tunnel being on 12th
street about one mile West of the centre
ot the city. The MiohiganUentral Rail-
way is doing the work right alongside of
ite own tracks where is seen the entrance
about 100 feet below the whine of
ground. Yoer readers will no doubt be
interested to learn about the: new style of
tuunel building ander a gret4 river, ' The
Baroia=Port Hnruu one was bored some
38 to 40 feet below the bottom of the,
river and as the solid earth was remov
ed heavy oast iron rings were bolted to-
gether progreasing forward foot by foot,
banked outelde of the iron ring tube by
a,beavy (dating of concrete making it
nnoollapeible. On both sides of the '
river the work was simoltaneonely par-
ried on'aud both met in centre atter
long tedious work. Thie engineering
feat of modern times wee done so per -
featly that there was not an inch of
divergence astray.
Instead of boring under the river the
new method is to dig witb steam ebovele
an immense dibob aoroes the river bot•
tom large enough for the double brook,
iron tubes to be buried in it, then covered
all below, sides and topwitb a heavy
layer of oonorete. When finished the,
bottom of the river will be lett smooth
with no obetrnatlon to navigation. These
immense double track steel tubae are
built on the shores ot St, Clair river,
where there is lots of room, and floated
down to Detroit to 600 foot lengths with
the ends aimed by timber, Beams aaniked
eimilier to the aides of a vessel. They
are water and air tight, perfectly buoy-
ant, floated and towed down here like the
bull of a big barge, provided with large
air valvae on the bottom as well as the
top. Oontrollable bottom valves let in '
water sad top ones let oat air so when
put in perfect position over the big ditoh -
in the bottom of the river alt valves are .
opened causing tubes to sink into posi-
tion intended full of water. When the
concrete covering is completed with lots
of earth as well to bold them' there they
are at proper time easily pumped empty
of water. These tubas are round, a few
fest apart but are hold together by egnare
oateide flanges. To better explain,
imagine a great piano of heavy boiler
plate standing ou edge 40 feet high, 80
feet wide with 2 holes bored abreast each
80 feet in diameter 6 or 8 feet apart
using 60 of these plates standing on edge
one behind the other 10 teat apert. ' Then
above the great tubas 80 feet in diameter
and 600 feet long through all these 60
Meese, all strongly riveted together, and
you have the picture of the double tube
railway traok tunnel before 11 goee into
the big ditah formed to, receive it deep
below the bottom of the river. Eaoh 600
feet section ie connected end 10 and
with parallel steel bolts, think as your
arm, through holes in the *orders of the
square flanges in counterpart positions,
thus joined togetber in line to it hair's•
breadth. Gems of mea are working nigbb

The adjourned inquest into the
death of Rudolph Durst, the Grand
Trunk brakeman, who was killed in
the accident here Tuesday was held
Saturday night and the jury's verdict
attaches blame to no one. The evi-
dence given was that of Thomas
Laing, the conductor of the train ;
L. Swift, of Stratford, the fireman ;
lohn McDonald, the yardmaster,
and Samuel Bissett, the owner of the
cow which caused the derailing of
the cars. The trainmen all agreed
that it would have been no safer to
have gone down tbe hill with the an-
gina foremost than to back down, in
view of the low speed at which the
train was moving, and the' evidence
showed that the lookout man required
by law to be stationed on the leading
car when backing up was in his prop-
er position, the unfortunate victim of
the accident standing on top of the
leading car. As soon as he gave the
signal to stop the emergency brakes
ware applied. County Crown At-
torney Seager watched the case, but
took practically no part, as no evi-
denue of criminal negligence came
out. G. F. Blair acted for the Grand
Trunk Railway Co. The coroner was
Dr. Holmes.
SMALLPDX.—It is usually the case
that news becomes added to as it
travels, and . already exaggerated re-
ports are coming back to Goderich
from outside points to the affect that
there is an outbreak of smallpox here,
The sickness which is at the bottom of
the reports is so light that a good pro-
portion of the cases reported in this
district nava required ne ,medical at.
tendanoe at all,, the patient simply not
feeling well for a couple of days or so.
Quite a number of cases are reported
in one section of Goderich Township
to. the South of the town one or two
to the

DOMINION PARLIAMENT.
Parliament opened at Ottawa on
Thursday of this weak. It is probable
that the mission will continue from now
to May. The Conservatives who a few
mouths ago were quite eoepioioos teat Bic
Wilfrid would go to ate country before an-
other session are now quite as auspicious
of the prolongation of the life of Par.
liament until 1909. As a matter of fact,
there is no legal need for dissolution
until Autumn of that year and the Prem•
Mrs projected tour of the West next Fan
would seem to indicate that no appeal to
the electors is autioipated before another
twelve months at least.
The work of the coming eeeeion will
not ba light. The big projects of material
development now in practical politica,
apart from the Grand Trunk Padilla
which ie in the hands of the contractors
aro the All -Red Line the extension of the
Intercoleniul into Ontario, and the
Georgian Bay Ottawa Ship Canal. It is
probable that all of these questions will
be thoroughly ventilated daring the

to life insurance is almost ready for

last year by Sir Riohard Oartwright.
Of tariff legislation there will he very,

The work of the Railway Oommiseion
