THE BISHOP'S VISIT.—On Sunday last, Bishop MoEvay, of London, officiated At vespers, in St. James' Catholic church, Sea - forth. Betides the resident clergy, Revs. A. J. McKeon, J. Ronan and J, T. Ayl- ward were present. Vespers were chanted by Rev. G. R. Northgraven and the aermon was preached by Rev. J. T'. Aylward. At the conclusion of theeerviee, the Bishop de- livered a short address, in which he comPli• mented the pastor, Rev. P. Corcoran, and the people on the improvements that have recently been made in the church. The in- terior of the church was painted by Mr.John G. Crioh, and the electric fixtures were put up by Electrician W. H. Bullard, of Sea - forte). Both did their work very satisfac- torily, and the appearance of the church is very Much improved. A ' very attractive I musical programme was endered by the choir, under the leadership of Mies Dorsey. • GOT HIS DESERTS.—Howard Walker, the Afro -Indian, who has b en in Strat,ford gaol since last May, on a c arge of shooting Albert Daudet, who was ta en from Seaforth to the hospital in Stratford, and died there, pleaded guilty teethe charge of manslaugh- ter at the assizesest Stratford last week and was sentenced by Judge Fergus -on to a term of fourteen years in the Kingston Peniten- tiary. Walker's crime was the killing of ea fellow employee with the Pan- American circus. The affeir took place on May 28th at midnight, on board the circus special train, which had just left the town of Park• hill en route for Seaforth. The victim's name was Albert Dandoi and between him end Walker, there had been bad blood for a long time. Walker shot Dando after a few words between them. Immediately after- wards he shoe anoeher employee named Miller, but the bullet struck a steel comb and was deflected. Dando was taken to the hospital at Stratford and died a day er so later. A charge of mueder was at once preferred against Walker, but this was changed to one of manslaughter. , He escaped from the train after, doing the shoot- ing and was captured at Port Huron or Sarnia. • TRAVELLERS.—The following were ticket- ed to different points during the past week by W.

Often this autocrat says a hat that looks positively hideous at first glance, must be the- etele, and the common every day looking woman sigh a and wears i t. At) other times she gives tee preference to a hat that ie quite becoming to the few and very unbecOming to, the majority, or a hat that leeks quite outlandish in the millinery room, does not look so bedly when the woman sums up courage to wear it. This autumn one ahould not hear any complaints, for' we have seldom seen as many hats pretty to look at !and really auitable for the maiority of women. One oannot remember the new names for old colors, shapes and trimmings, but it reatly does not matter, fbr very few.people.kuow them as such. Most of the hats are very large, and are called "Court " hate ; then there is a large bleak velvet hat, called " The Gaiosborough," reised in front, with a velvet band, on- which is pinned a oteel buckle or ornament, and it has long black feathers artistically arranged on the brim., We saw a very stylieh het of this diseription in the E. McFaul millinery rooms, and beat of all it was to wear with a smart, tailor made suit from Stark & Mc - Kays, that would net be donned by a Sea - forth lady: Indeed it seems that the neigh- boring I‘, NOS are taltiug from both the Pick- ard and el eleaul establiehments some of their very pratiest and moot costly - hats. We might :is well tell of one or two other pretty hats in the McFaal rooms. There was a grey loec, kind of a turban shape, puffed crowti with the camels hair effect, chinchilla fur on one side of the brim and a pretty breast in grey tones on the other. It did leek io comfortable and wearable. Then theee was another hat, real "Frenchy," in shades of green. It was turned up a hetes I at one side, was made of velvet, had a puffed orowe and a fall of pretty lace on it. The different shades, hi the breast, which was at one aide, the velvee and other trimmings all harmouized so perfectly. One could not begin 4) tell of all the hate in this estab- lishment, hats for ladies, misses aud chil- dren, and all so varied in style and trim• mings that any one might well be suited. As usual the show room was very tastefully decorated with silks, laces and pretty rib- bons. But before we say anything about the etoree end their content; we might mention a few of the atyliah hate. in Pick• ard's millinery rooms.' It did one good to ses a hat, rather lerge, made of the real old seal brown velvet. Quite a novelty was shown in the shape of'trimming. On a grey felt hat, something of the walking shape, there was arranged about the crown, and knotted in front, a plait of white yarn, whioh was as thick as a good sized cord. It looked mueh prettier than• it sounds, but still one would have to get used'to it. An- other large hat, in royal purple velve , had trimmiege of mauve silk and feather , and ehe preetiest facing of white chiffon. here were some very stylish black hats a d one of cheralle, turned off the face, an no triminiug but a quill in' front, was as retty as could be. Another eiandsome bla k hat was ma e altogether of net, covered with sequins. Mrs. Hilmer, in the Gi leepie blook, a so had a very neat and attrective show of hats, bonnets and trimminge' Al- though her establishment is soinewh t less pretentious than , some of- the othe te the lady w b could net be suited there wo ld be difficult to pleaee. Such pretty oil s are shown t is season. In trimmings, are seen patterne in such dainty shades. Then sill the stores ace ehowing " Panne " velvet in redo, greens end brownie, and it certainly in kes a very werm looking trimming for the felt hate wilh the low crowns and broa , flat brims. The new: coats are three -g arter length. ' Many in the rough oloth of xford grey are very stylish. Homespun i the greys isenost fashionable for gowns, a d the gay col red flannels for shirt waiet and dressin jackets that the stores are (Mewing are enoegh to make any woman reekless. Some Persian lamb coats in the Pickard window -made one wish for a long puree. Ie would.not be lair to forget about th win- dows w ioh were dressed so eastefull and full of new things. Ready•made suits, skirts a d coats, etylish hate, furs, Riles and dress g ode, made one stand a good long time s. ivering • before these windows, for one of he opening days was a pretty chil- ly one. This wee the second of th fair days, a d there was a great crowd in own. 1 The stores were gaits' busy and the w men, anyway seemed to appreciate the lab r and enterprise of our iperchantee for they leaked in the windows, walked about the stores' and - up to the fellow rooms, and we hope spent some money in buying pretty things, • , ANNU iL CONVE:,'ITION.—The Huron c unty convent on of the Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union will be held in the Se forth Preebyt rian church on the 8th arid th 'of October Delegates from Goderielfee ing- ham, BI th and Clinton will be in a tend - an 3e. ublic meetings will be held- i the evening commencing at 8 o'clock.

Our citizens were surprise on Tuesday last to learn that Mr. John Kil- loran had died early that morning. I vies known teat he had been ailing for some_ .weeka, but few outside of the imm diate family circle had any idea that hie cas was so serious. Mr. Killoran was a nati e of Sligo, Ireland, and was about 65 ye re of age. fele came with -his parents to 0 tario in 1847. The family took up land i the Gore of Downie, in the county of Pert , and from the dense foreets of that time' e wed out for themselves a comfortable oine. 'The earlier years of the deceased were pent on the farm and he enjoyed recountin his adventures in the bush and his ao ieve- manta as a woodsman. He waseloGive at all kinds of,pioneer farm work and was par- ticularly proud of hie skill as a cho per. He left the farm and came to resi e in what was then the village of Seaforth, and had been a resident here for nearly 35 ears. For Linsey years, in connection wit his brother-in-law, Mr. Thomas Ryan, he con- ducted an extensive „grocery business and built the building now owned and occupied by the Dominion Bank, and the firm of Kil- loran & Ityan was known far and ide. For several years he had been living re ired. He was etreetly honorable in all his bus nese dealings ,and possessed in a high degre the confidence of his patrons. Socially, he was a genial, whole-souled Irishman, who ever had an evil word to say of any person, and who was universally liked by all who en- joyed hie acquaintant His demise 1 ayes a sad blank betwee the past and the present of the town and reminds u forcibly of how raPidly time is passing and the teeny and saddening changes tha are takipg place. Mr. Killoran was a de oted Mern4tr of St, - James' Roman Cet mho church and the funeral services were con• ducted there on Thureday forenoon an the remains were laid to rest in St. J mete cemetery. He levee a widow and arge family of children, all grown up, td ourn the lose and long cherish the memory ,f ever kine husband and affectionate father. Mr. Killeran had been a remarkably he lthy man, and until his last illness scarcely new what it was to be a day sick. The im edi- ate cause of deaeh was bronchial pneum nia, but he had been perceptibly failio for some moethe past from a natural decor/ of the physical system. • GOOD _HORSES.—At the xeter fai , on Tuesday of last week, a special fea urc, which drew a great deal of attention and brought forth much favorable corn ea, was the parade of heavy draught and ack- ney stal ions, imported and owne by 'Messrs. awden & McDonnell, of Exeter, Amongst, the number was Belehezzar (1e855) who has Won firet and sweepstakes at both the Industrial Fair, Toronto, and the West- ern at Lendon, for the past two yearte and who is too well known among horseme and farmers hroughout Canada, and wipe tally in Huron, to require further comment ieee. Another gcod one was Duke of Clarenc II. (13001), 4, beautiful bay three•year-old im- ported tele year, which took first pri e Toronto tend London. He is a big h rse, with plerity of quality for all demands, and possesses,an extra natty appearance. eAapre. Woodlane (17109) is a big roan, six old, who,,, with his girdle of seven m dale and eevetiteen first prize diplomas, ma e a splendid appearance, and drew a great deal of attention. A very heavy brown hire horse also attracted considerable atten ion. The three-year-old Heaney stallion, 1Con- naught Heir, is a oheetnut that won fi st Toronto, and the gold medal for the best Hackney stallion, given by the En lish Haokney Society ; also first at the mil tary show in Taronto last Spring, and' fir t at London this year. Besides these, here were two Clydesdale stallions, a six year old and e two year old, well set up animals, with quellity in legs and feet tbat will eitand wear ; and a thoroughbred horse that wen first at Winnipeg, Brandon, Toronto' and London this year. The horses imptlirted this year were shipped to the Industrial at Toronto the day after being lauded, an the fact that they were prize winners to au h en extent, without any previous fitting or eed- ing, goes far to prove the class and quality of the animals. This firm have recently im• ported twelve Shire and Clyde stalhons, which are at their barns in Exeter foe in- spection, ot whioh the foregoing are se ex- ample. These horses were all purohassid by themselves, with a view of satisfying! the requirements of the Canadian horse breeders, and 'that their venture is a great success is proven beyond doubt by the fact that they sell to many of the first men in the Omsk trade in this country, and that their 'took is still winning. • LOCAL BRIEFS.—Mr. James Whitesi e, a former resident of Seaforth, but now a resi- dent of Hesse!, Micbigan, is township lerk of Cedar township, Mackinac oounty.

Wingham. • THE SHOW.—The Turnberry and Great Northwestern Fair, held in Wingham on Friday last, was an unqualified success and fine weather and a magnificent card of at- taactione brought to this place the largest crowd seen here in a long time, 8,000 peeple 'Damen the turnstiles. The show in the hall of roots, fruits and ladies' work was the beet ever seen here,' and the show in the eing could not be surpassed. The gen- tlemen's driver,as usual, brought out a very large field, the winner being the beautiful bay horse Billy, owned by George E. King, secretary of the turf club. The victory was a very popular one, tine deservedly so, for Billy could not be beeten on any show ring in Canada. The speeding in the ring has become a fixture here, and the races were not equalled by the turf club at their spring meeting. The directors are to be congratu- lated on the success of their untiring efforts.

At the close of the enter- tainment Mr. Baird, who leaves the school to attend the School of Pedagogy, in Hamil- ton, was presented with a. beautiful gold ring, scarf pin and small hand bag. The address was read by Miss Lizzy McGregor, and the presentation made by Misses Gracie Murdock and Carrie Rose. Mr. Baird made a very feeling, reply. During his term of teaching in the school Mr. Baird has proved himself a very able and efficient teacher, and was heldin high esteem by pupils end par- ents, who wish him success. as he again he - comes a pupil. A GOOD ElnnsE.—Mr, Wm. Berry re- turned home on Saturday last from a trip through the Southern States, bringing with him a fine new horse, which he purchased in Ohio. It is " Electric B," a fine standard and trotting stallion, rising three yeers old. He is a handsome black animal, and, al- thouge he has never been put 011 tbe track, gives promise of being speedy, being des- cended oh both sides from fast trotting stook. Besides being et handaome color, he is a well see up animal, and is almost per- fect in his make up, as is evidenced by the fact that at suoh large shows as those at Columbus, and Cincinnati this year, he al- ways received a prize, and never less than second in many large classes. Mr.Berry paid a big price for him, and we have no doubt that his enterprise in importing such a fine animal will be substantially appreciated by the horsemen of the country.

The plaintiff is Mrs. Jessie Riddell, of Shakespeare, and the defendants are her brothers, George and John McCallum. The mother, Jessie McCallum, died in August, 1900, and had resided for some time with Mrs. Riddell. The trouble arises over the disappearance of a will made by the mother. The brothers say that there was no will at the time of Mrs. McCallum's death. Under the alleged will Mrs. Riddell was to receive more money than the two brothers. If there were no will the children would get oneetbird of the estate each.
