paid Nature's debt, passing peace-
fully away, aged 38 years, 8 months
and 22 days. She leaves her husband,
a daughter, Florence, 13 years of age,
and a baby son 3 weeks old. De-
ceased's maiden name was Alice

being the 3rd daughter of Jno. and

PARLIAMENT.—A painful incident
marred the second session
of the local
Legislature on Friday i
th
night when e
g Y g
dais su ortin the speaker's char
broke g
down causing a complete
suspension of decorum on the floor of
the house. Fortunately the honor-
able gentleman escaped without
serious injury but the Government is
open to censure for the occurrence as
it shows unmistakable evidences of
graft in the furnishing of the Legis-
lature. Before resuming the debate
on the Women's Franchise Bill the
Government was opened with ques-
tions by the Opposition many of which
they were unable to answer on the
spur of the moment. In reply to R.
Jermyn asking what steps were being
taken by the Department of Forests
and Mines for the conservation of
Charlie Forrest, the Minister, Mr.
Johnston, said that the claims staked
out against the party in question had
been secured under the previous ad-
ministration but in spite of his handi-
cap the Minister would do all in his
power to protect him and if unable to
do the work alone he knew of several
young ladies who would be willing to
help. The Minister of Finance, Mr.
MacEwen replying to a question, said
that no steps could be taken this ses-
sion to raise the salaries of members
of the House in spite of the high cost
of living in Bluevale during the sit-
dn8 of the Legislature, as the full
resources of the Government were re-
quired to meet the present difficult
situation that confronts the country.
The Minister of Agriculture, George
McDonald, was asked why the
Government had been so dilatory in
appointing a District Agricultural
Representative for Huron County
when nearly every other progressive
county in the Province had secured
one and in reply stated that the
Government had been considering the
matter and a bill for this purpose had
been laid on the table. The debate on
the Women's Franchise Bill was con-
tinued bW. H. Haney, Minister of
Public Works, Miss Eva Duff, Gordon
$,intoul and the Minister of Finance
for the Government and Leader Shaw,
Mies Polly Duff, R. Jermyn and W.
H, Fraser for the Opposition. The
speeches were on a heels level P g
v of ex-
cellence and the Minister of Finance
in his fine address paid one of the
noblest tributes to woman and moth-
erhood that has ever been given in
Bluevale. The amendment of the
Opposition calling for a Woman's
Parliament to run as an experiment
for three years before extending the
franchise was lost and the bill carried
by a good majority although party
lines were not closely observed, mem-
bers on both sides voting against their
colleagues, A petition from a num-
ber of citizens asking for a pump to be
installed in the well ab the old hotel
site in order to increase the present
uncertain supply of water in the vil-
lage was read by Clerk, Neil Robb
who took the place of S. Paul, whose
regretted illness kept him from being
in attendance. The bills on Tax Re-
form, etc., were given a first reading
and Tom Wilson opened the debate
on the bill to tax bachelors on a slid-
ing scale according a a endo tea e
whichwas
g
nd turned till g
the following wr eels.
On submitting to the audience the
question as to whether the Parlia-
ment should be continued for another
session there was a painful reluctance
on the part of the spectators to com-
mit themselves but hardened es they
are by years of political life our legis.
lators decided to ignore the feeling in
the country and keen the lawmaking
rnachinoty in operation for another
week, The solemn deliberations of
the Legislature were relieved by
several numbers given
b lilies Bessie
Moses and Dougald Strachan, of
Jamestown, and Wrn. Speir which
were received with the greatest
pleasure and at the close of the Meet-
ing a vote of th11, ks was moved to the

audience. Next week the meeting
will be devoted to the discussion of
a subject, which was introduced, by'
the Mock Paeliatnent and Held aver
for fuller consideration—"The 'Work
and Need of a Ilistrict Agricultural
Representative." The subject will' be
discussed by a number of speakers
