THE ORANGEMEN. The 138th annual meeting of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario West was open- ed in the Town ball, Woodstock, on Tuesday, March 2nd. The attendance was comparatively small, not more than ilnlf of last year's number, 1h edge opened with 11 W. Grand The l P Master William Lockhart, of Alliston, in the chair. In his annual address the grand lnao. ter referred to the fent that the Manitoba school question has been submitted to the people, with the result that an agreement has been reached by which the question will be settled on n basis fairly satisfact- ory to all." Continuing, he said : ..Be. Baying, as I do, in a national system of I education for the Dominion, I cannot too f strongly urge upon all Orangemen the 0 necessity of closely watching all edu. oational laws which may be enacted, a0 as to have them lead in this direction." The address also referred to the Queen's jubilee, the India famine fund, the Ar- menian and Cretan troubles, and. the matter of insurance, The grand secretary's report stated that while, owing to incomplete returns, it was impossible to state the exact in- crea-e daring the year, yet 35 out of 44 i noauty lodges showed 1,200 initiations, 477 joined by certificate and 214 rein- ateted ; the la's by death was 10;3, and 1 by expulsions 07, Lehowing a net gain of o about 1,700. The moh•uing session of the Black c Chapter was devoted chiefly to receiving b reports of committees and the election of c officers. Following were the officers tl elected :-3. H. Scoot, G. 1I. ; J.

Ontario Legislature. TIIE BRUSSELS POST the SEEKING 11kft BOY. sign rem Oen. old our the A New York physioian relataes the fol- lowing faot ;--- .A — A few weeks ago he Wlte called to the help of a man who wee mortally wounded in one of the low dance hells or "dives" of that oily. When he had attended hie vice patient the doctor looked curiously about ud• him, The wounded man lay before the bar, agooilhet wheat lounged 00ine drunken old sots. In the next roots a few young men, limbed and brigh6•oyeel were play- ing ;weds, while the getudily•dreseod bar made married about the liquor. But neither the gamblers, nor the women nor the drunkards paid any attention to the dying man on the floor. They squabbled and laughed, deaf to the groans. The proprietor of the dive, a burly fellow, who had been a prize fighter in hie younger days, having seen the polios secure the murderer, had gone bunk quiet- ly to hie work of mixing drinks, Death, apparently, had no interest or terror for these people. Suddenly a little old woman with white hair, a thin shawl about her, =me to cite street door. Her appearance produced a startling effect, The besotted old When at the bar put down their glasses and looked uneasy ; the oard players hastily shut the door to keep out the sight of her ; the bar -maids Huddled together in eilenee ; bot the change in the brutal landlord was 21000 striking, He rose :hastily and mime up to her, an expression of somothiug like terror on his fame. "Ie James here ?" she asked gently. "No, no ; he is not here. I do not know where he is," he said hurriedly. She looked around bewildered, and said :— "I was sure be was here. If he comes will you tell him his mother wants hinh, 810?" 'Yes yes," be said—au' thatman a +y , urged cher out of the door. The physi- o]an soon followed and saw her going into another and another dive and grog shop along the street. "Who is sloe ?" he asked of apolioeman outside. "Is she in no danger ?" The man shook his head significantly. "They will not harsh hoe sir. They've done their worst to her. She is the widow of a clergyman, and she had one eon, a boy of sixteen years, They lived happy and comfortable enough till he took to going to pool rooms, and then to variety tbeotree, and at ]est to these dives here, He was hilted in one of them in a fight three months ago, in that very one you were just in now, and was carried home to her, bloated from drink, covered with blood and dead. She only remem- bers that he came to these houses, and she goes about them searohing for him every day. They are afraid to see her. They think she brings a curse on them. But they won't harm her ; they've done their worst to her." This is a true story. How many sous of loving mothers are going down like this boy into these dark places to day ? 1.Ig0Olh LICENSE .0 0E\b)1EBT0. On Thursday, Feb. 25111, 13ou, Rich. and Harcourt moved the first reading of hie new Liquor License Act. The Pro. vinolal Treasurer said, in a brief explau• atl00 of the proposed measure, that the main provisions of the bill ware those called for by a well-settled public opinion. It was only in response to a well-defined publio opinion that satiefaotory legisla• tion wee secured. It would be remem- bered that the Act of 1870 was passed in response to the pnblio demand referred to and under that Act the quit upon which a license e wits erauted was a upopulation of '250. The Government did notintendto, in this connection, disturb the logielation affecting townships, the only changes proposed being those that world affect cities, towns and villages. The old Act allowed for four licenses for iho first thousand of population, and the Govern- ment now asked that this number be res. tricted to three, and that the additional i0enee formerly allowed for the ' next our hundred of population be now in• teased to 000. The Governtnent was not tatting from Municipal Councils 111e power to further reduce the number of licenses below the limit set by the Act, but it did stipulate that if the Municipal Connell did pass a by-law further limiting the number of licenses that bylaw must remain in force for three years. The features of the bill, as had been said, affected only cities, towns and villages, and there were 288 of these municipal - ties, of which only a small percentage would be affected by the reduced limit. The present law relating to druggists al. owed them to Bell amounts up to six anus of liquor without certificates ; hould they sell over six ounces a medical erlfficate was required. By the present ill registration was required for all per. bases, and a °artifice -to demanded upon le purchase of any amount. The sale f liquor by druggists would be limited to x ounces. Section two of the bill would eat with the hours of closing, a matter ft by the previous Act to the muniei• alities. The Government proposed to x the hours of closing at ten o'clock for e townships, towns and villages, and at even o'clock for the cities. This would of interfere With the laws relating, to e Saturday night and Sunday closing. here were 810 of these divisions, and by e bill, in 700 of them the hour of closing as fixed at 10 o'olock, and in 110 at 11 clock. The law relating to the eale of quors to minors was amended, in defer- ce to the advance in public, opinion. be Aot of 1089 prohibited the sale of nor to anyone apparently under the e of sixteen. Six years later, in 1994, e limit was extended to eighteen years. ub(io opinion has grown considerably marched to St. Paul's obureh, where a very interesting sermon was preached by Rev. Mr, Baldwin. TBE eoirel0 WELCOME. be!'l Wednesday morning the Grand Lodge resumed at nine o'clock. Very encour- aging reports were. presented by the various committees. His Worship Mayor McKay and mem- bers of the Woodstock Town Council tb presented the Grand Lodge with an ad - it dress of welcome. The Deputy.Reeve w0) and Registrar Pattullc also addressed the til Grand Lodge. The address was replied wh to by Grand Master Lockhart and Hon. 0h N. Clarke Wallace, G. M. of B, A. to The County Lodge if Oxford also 0 presented an address of welcome, 010 FOR TIAs 00)100E FUND, No A grant of $50 setts trade to the India ref famine fund.

Mr. Harcourt calculated• that by this measure over once If of the population of the proviuoe uld be under total prohibition. The local option bylaws had been adopted in seventeen or eighteen municipalities, but great difficulty was experienced in their enforcement. The only way in which ey could be enforced was by fines, and is well known that in many oases there re no fines collected. The Govern- eut proposed that in the municipalities ere local option laws were in operation a municipality should contribute a sum the license fund of the district, the Wer to regulate the amount being in e hands of the License Board, The st impo'tent part of the bill was that erring to the abolition of saloons. The rd "saloon" did not at present appear the statutes, but, as was well known, it erred to a place where liquor was sold, t where the regular hotel ac0oremo• ion was not afforded. There were 34 these in the province. Tho proposal R to abolish them in inotalmente, hall the license year of 1807 and the re. finder in the license years of 1898.9, e -half of these licenses were to he de• anted by the License Board as wins d beer licenses, under whioh baro would forbidden, and the sale would be rea- cted to that served at dining tables 11 meals. This wine and beer lioense old only be continued in the oases of Laments or large railway Wing - 11000. As to the granting of licensee in bleatial portions of a city, the Govern- nt would ask that where a petition taining the names of 350 vo0ere, retri- ve of the suction, was presented to the erre Commissioners, power should be en to that body to refuse to grant is time The power to define a residen- locality would be also left to the eom- ssionera, In reply to a question the yin vial Treasurer stied it would require ee fifths of the electors of the dietrio6 top the, ileus of 'Menses. Then as to cancellation of licenses. There were present two ways to do thie—by the or of a justice of the peace or the order a county judge, The House would be ed to widen that.

When lest week the Mayor opened a fund for the Witt famine suff- erers this young woman planed a money box on the bar and iutimated that every- one who put a shilling in it might have a kiss. Within half an hour she was kiss- ed by every man who entered the saloon, accumulating twenty -throe shillings for the fund• 13nt this novel mode of collec- tion drew such a crowd to the bar that the proper:teepee a step to the entertain- ment, though not until the barmaid, as the money box proved, had been kissed eighty-seven times in lees than three hours.
