WINGHAM Mr, Lincoln, government account - .ant, of Grosse Point, Mich., and Miss Olive O'Neill, . R.N., and Miss May . O'Neill, of the Macabees Executive .Staff, Detroit, spent a day'or two last week with Mrs. O'Neill, of Langsde- farm in London Township,; , the party paying a visit on Sunday to the tat- ' ter's daughter, Mrs, Free* Watson,,. Mr. Lincoln was very much impressed with the substantial and progressive appearance of this town, hardly anti- cipating to find such an amount of paved streets, and other evidences of civic pride. Possibly what took his attention most was the marked excel fence of our leading business places, in which he found stocks equal in duality and value what any city con cern can give; ad was equally taken with the school buildings, hospital, town hall and post office, Then with a city man's vision he could not res- train his delight at the open spacee around the homes all of which were 'bright with spring flowers in many colors, and in pleasing design, one of the direct benefits aeruing from the .activities of he Hortioularal Society. This opinion of a distinguished out - eider while pleasing andnot unex- pected by the real lovers of the town, ,night be the hint not to be forgefful of first impressions on strangers, and to strive, still further to make the 4"•rlace more attractive and neat.

There was solemnized, on- edne W s day, May 16th, at high noon, at the home of Jas. and Mrs. Anderson, 5th line of Morris, the marriage of their eldest daughter, Violet Anderson, R. N. graduate of Stratford hospital, to John A. Burke, of Toronto, son of Mrs, and the late John Burke, of Mid- land, Rev. Jas.' Scebie, pastor of Knox United Church, Belgrave, officiated. The wedding was a quiet one and was attended by the ' immediate re- latives and a few friends of bride and groom: The bride who was given in marriage by her father, looked charm- ing in a gown of shell pink georgette over :a pink silk and carried a mag- nificent bequet of tea roses. She was attended by Miss Mary Barsley, . of Stratford, who wore a gown of beige georgette and lace and ` carried red roses. Mr. Earl Anderson brother of the bride assisted the groom. The groom's gift to the bride was a lea- ther hat box and a cabinet of silver, to the bridesmaid a bar pin with dia- mond setting, to the groomsman a pair of green gold cuff link's After a• dainty luncheon the bride and groom left on the 4.15 C. P, R. train from Blyth amid showers of. confetti and good wishes from a host of friends, for a brief honeymoon trip to Northern Ontario, The bride's tra- velling costume was of navy blue silk with trimmings of mother goose, with hat to match. On their return they will take up residence in Toronto' where the groom holds a lucrative position with the C. P. R. WHAT THE SENATE DID TO SPOTTON Niagara Falls Bridge Bill which re- ceived approval of the House of Corn- mons, ommons, by the adroit move of George Spotton, North Huron, met with dis- aster at the hands of a special Com- mittee in the Senate, which refused to report favorably, The Bill was oppos- ed by the Provincial Legislature, Hydro Commission and Niagara Falls Park Commission, because the bridge would interfere with • the rights of these bodies, and of course capital was made but it would not pay, and that the governor of New York State would disallow the American Bill This may be beside the point in question, George Spotton's booming voice quieted the House of Commons opposition, and as he is a "person" in accordance with the recent judge- ment of the Privy Council, a proper scare might be thrown into the old ladies es � of that rest home, if our rep resentative gained entrance. We im- agine George S'potton is riot seriously preturbed by the plea of American opposition to the project, or the al- leged poor business prospects. The former is for the States to settle, and for the bond holders and sharehold- ers to be responsible for the latter, But to have a sympathetic body like the Senate to turn down North Hur- on member's victory, is one of the peculiar political events that crop up.

HAYDEN'S. )(About three o'clock to c ck - Wednesday morning smoke awoke O. Hayden, Victoria Street, who found the rear part of his house in .games. The other occupants of the horne on openin g their doors were confronted with a sheet of flames and smoke, so there was some hurrying in read haste to get out. Firemen were promptly on the job, two heavy streams confining the blaze largely to the rear of the building, and after an hour end a half's work had: the blaze out. The inside of the house is•a bad wreck from the tons of water poured - in, while the fire cleaned out the kitchen and one or two rooms upstairs. One young girl had most of her clothes burned. Mr. Hayden cannot account for the blaze, believing' it may have originated on the rear verandah from fire -crackers or a 'match carelessly tossed. down.

Thursday night there was a taken on an amendment offered, b J. Garland, Progtessive member Bow River, Alta. It provided tha more stock in the company. were sued it should be offered to the eral- public, and not merely to present, shareholders. By a vote 68 to 6o the amendment was defeat but the figure shows that the bill not riding in calm waters. The Garland amendment, to mind, is not the one which should made to run along` parallel to theephone measure, In order to explain this it is nes sary to revert to the pages of H sard for May s5th, when G.

Hon. Charles Dunning, Minister ailways, replied that it was not t ntention to adopt this, or other am ndments as government measures ut added, "I will bring the matter t e attention of the government, The Railway Board.has power toi s vestigate the business f s o the Tele hone Co,,. but that power does not xtend to take in an investigation of ubsidiary companies, owned and con oiled by the telephone company, and om which the parent company mak- pt'trchases.. We are, not suggesting that the Tel - hone Co, has not a right to apt/. r increased capitalization powers, or at it will use these eta the disadvan- ge of its customers, but the fair ing would be to couple with this in - eased capital right, the bill brought by Mr. Geary to give the Railway ard extended powers to investigate far as it desires into subsidiary npanies of the.Telephone company. The Bell Telephone Co. should wet- ne such a move, and the govern- nt should not hesitate to make it, th each added concession to any novation there should be addition - powers given to the government ncy which is called upon to exer- e supervision over their rates. be - B ell sses, in - o to vote y E. from at if is- gen - the of ted, is our be tel es an- ry, he give m }c- ielofti- el- of he f e g e R e b th in P s tr fr es ep fo th to th or in Bo as col 001 me Wi cox al age cis a ARE YOU A M ARSON' A comedy in three acts presented by Arthur Circle, Knox Church, God, erich, under auspices of the Order of Eastern Star in the Town Hall,, Wingham, on Tuesday, May 29th, Characters:— °George Fidler, stock broker, formerly actor, j.
