Q:T)e `il:lltsaei ,Bst,
FRIDAY, APRIL 80, 1897.
COAITh11S Moss, the well-known Q. 0„
has been appointed judge of the Court of
Appeal in Ontario. IIs should do credit
to the bough.
TIE results of the bye•eleotions for the
Commons Tuesday are the return of
three Liberals. Mr. Jameson's majority
in Winnipeg was 1,191 ; in Macdonald
Dr. Rutherford is returned by about 600,
and iu West Prince Mr. Perry is seven
votes ahead, with nearly all divisions
heard from. It looks n good deal as if
things were failing into the hands of the
Liberal party quite nicely.
TIE Underwriter's Assooiatiou are

cation of pities, towus and villages in the
matter of insurance rates and have drop.
ped-Guelphfram Class A. to 0 on account
of their non compliance with the demaniis
of the Ansaciaticn as to the fire appliances.
Some level headed M. P. should place an
amendment to the present law before the
Commous and curtail the power of the
Underwriters' Association.
Luse weak excitement ran high over
the introduction of the new tariff, but the
normal condition will he shoitly reached
now that the debate is well advanced.
Finance Minister Fielding bad his work
well prepared and went into the question
in a thorough businesslike manner. The
new tariff gives preferential privileges to
countries willing to deal generously with
Canada, but those who put ap the tariff
wall, the U. 3. for instar,oe, will be met
with similar restrictions. Great Britain
is well pleased with the new tariff and
among many noteworthy remarks we re-
produce twa, to show the feeling in the
mother -land ;—The London, Eng., Times
of April 20th, says editorially :—"The
presentation of the Canadian tariff is be-
yond doubt the most remarkable step yet
made towards fiscal federation in the
British Empire. We mush regret to see
the attitude Mr. Foster has taken toward
11." Notice of motion in the Imperial
House of Commons by Sir Charles Vie
cent, April 27th, 1897 '—"That this
House expresses grateful and fraternal
recognition to the Government and peo-
ple of the Dominion of Canada for the
generous fiscal changes in favor of British
trade and labor aunounoed on Friday by
the Parliament of Ottawa and already in
force, and hopes this first step towards a
commercial federation of the empire will
be followed by Anatralaele, South Africa
and the other colonies." The opinion of
many of the leading business men of the
Dominion, has been asked and
although those whose profits will
be lessoued by the changes are
of oouree not well pleased, the majority
appear to think the improvements many
and a large share of pledges made by the
Liberals carried out. No doubt numer-
ous obanges will be made from the first
draft, but the central idea in framing the
tariff is to reduce the burdens on the
necessaries and plate them upon the
luxuries, or non -essentials, such as liqu-
ors, tabanoo, &a. It is a noticeable
feature the °bangs in tone of gentlemen
now in Opposition. They loved England
very herd while sitting o3 the Govern.
ment benches, but now deride the Gov-
ernment for the favoriteiem shown to
Britain in endangering our manufactories.
Some people are hard to please.

ATTEMPTED TnAIN WnEOiime: On Fri-
day evening, about two miles east of

derail the night express, due bore at

such a manner whioh, had it not been de.
tooted in ti are,would in all probability have
resulted in the total wreak of the train,
and tho loss of many lives. The diaboli.
cal ace was discovered in the niok of

moving the obstruction a abort time be-

Piths. Gamma's SODDEN DEATN.—Ethel
and locality was very sadly shocked last
Monday morning on reoeiving the intel-
ligence that Mre. Henry Green had sud-
denly departed this life. For some time
she had been poorly, but not confined to
bed and on Sunday she hada smothering
emulation or shortness of breath but when
she retired to rest at Abs. Wm. Routley's
her daughter, with whom she resided, she
was apparently no worse than usual.
Without a struggle she passed away
from time during tbe night, the fleet
intimation of decease being ascertained
when the family arose. With her arm
under her bead the old lady had quietly
and peacefully crossed the Jordan of
death. Apoplexy ie supposed to have
been the cause. Mrs. Green's maiden
name was Betsy Wilson ; her birthplace
woe near Peterboro', Ont., and silo was
united in marriage to Henry Green, who
predeceased her about four years ago, in
1861 or thereabouts. There were five
children, Abs. Henry Wanner, deceased,
and Mre. Routley, Ethel ; 101111, in
Dakota ; henry, whose whereabouts at
the present ie unoertain ; and David, of
Woodstock, Mre. Green came to this
locality with her husband over 30 years
ego and lived on the 10113 oon. previous to
their ^retirement from fartnine, when

Now Enjoying 0 Ripe Md. Age.
Fro In the Simone lieformor,
In the early days of Methodism in
Canada the Gospel was spread abroad in
the land by the aotivs exertions of the
circuit rider. It required a man of no
ordinary health and strength ; an iron
constitution and unflagging determination
to fulfil the arduous duties iuoumbeut ou
one who mider'took to preach salvation to
his fellowmen. It was no easy task that
these men set themselves to, but they
were strong in the faith and hope of ulti•
mate reward. Many fell by the wayside,
while others struggled ou and prospered,
and a few are to -day enjoying a rico old
age, happy in the knowledge that a last-
ing reward will soon bo theirs Most of
these old timers are not now engager! in
active (thumb work, but have been placed
on the superannuated list, and are Dow
living a quiet life in town or on a farm,
free from the cares of the world, where
they await the call to come up higher.
Rev. David Williams, who lives two
miles Southwest of Nixon, Ont., in the
township of Windham, Norfolk County,
was one of these early day circuit riders.
Ho was a man of vigorous health and
althongh without many advantages in the
way of early education he succeeded by
dint of hard and constant study in being
admitted to the ministry. He was the
first-born in the first house built in Glen
Williams near Georgetown, Geo. Ken-
nedy, the founder of Georgetown, being a
brother of his mother. Today he is 70
years old and for the past 20 years has
lived in this county. For many years 13e
had boon a sufferer from kidney and ltfncl-
red diseases. He tried all kinds of
remedies, and although sometimes tem•
porarily relieved he gradually grew worse
until in October 1.805 he was stricken
with paralysis, From this he partially
recovered and recovered his powers of
speech but his mind was badly wrecked,
and his memory was so poor that he
could not remember the name of the per-
son to whom he wished to speak without
thinking intently for several miuutos.
One day driving to church ho wished to
speak of a neighbor who livednext to him
for twenty years, but he could not recall
the name for an hour or more. In addi-
tion to his mental trouble he had intense
bodily suffering ; pains in the head, across
the forehead, in the tereelea and behind
the ears, across the l°e•er part of the
skull and in the joint n; the neck. He
had great woaknoss and reins .intbe back,
hips and legs. 1u fact, ,- t much diel ho
suffer that sleep watt almost aa3 finpos-
sibility, and he fell away in weight until
he weighed only 145 pounds. By this
time, Deo. 1805, he became despondent
and felt that if he did not soon obtain
relief, he would soon bid adieu. to tbe
things of this world. On the 20th of
December he read of a cure in the Re-
former by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
being seized with a sudden inspiration at
once wrote to Brockville for a supply of
that marvellous remedy. Immediate
good results followed their use and Ile has
improved wonderfully during the past
year. He has recovered his bodily health
and strength, is comparatively free from
pain and his memory is nearly as good as
it ever was and as the improvement eon•
tinues the prospects are very height for
complete recovery. He has gained 20
pounds in weight since beginning the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Wil-
liams says : "1 can heartily endorse the
many good things said of these pills in
the papers, and strongly recommend them
to any one suffering as I was,"
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a blood
builder and nerve restorer. They supply
the blood with its lite and health -giving
properties, thus driving disease from the
system. There aro numerous pink color-
ed imitations, against which the pnblio is
warned. The genuine Pink Pills can be
had only in boxes, the wrapper around
whioh bears rho full trade mark, "Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People,"
Refuse all others.
