oXpeCted it would, in re-electing Mr

Some of his suecess is due, no doubt,

Ontario's Premier has been knighte4

Was ever a Governmentei majority drag-

An Ottawa correspondent says:- Probably
the next move of the Liberals willbe against
• Sir Hector Langevin. They claim that
• letters now in their possession clearly prove
that he perjured himself in his evidence be-
fore the Committee of Privileges aisd Elec-

some member -Lister, most probably -
will prefer a straight charge of perjury
against the exelinister of Public Works and

In view of the recent utterances of Lord

that the club is convinced that a fiscal

The revelations now being made of how
•Sir Adolphe Caron and Sir Hector Langevin
flooded the constituencies of this province
with money during the general eleetions are
scandalous in the extreme. If our laws
were all east, both these men and a host of
others would be consigned to a penitentiary
for wholesale corruption. It is no wonder
that Sir John Thompson and Sir Adolphe
Caron, and the rest of the Ministers, refused
toinvestigateihe_chargeethat Sir Adolphe, _
had distributed money received from Gov-

constituencies. We are of the opinion that
a little compulsory penitentiary for such
men as Caron and Langevin would be just
and effective also.-Moistreal Witness.

Goderich District Meeting.
The District meeting of the Goderich
District was held in the Rattenbury
St. church on the 19th and 20th. The
ministers of the district were all pre-
sent. Rev. W. Ayers, of Holinesville,
was elected secretary, and Rev. E. A.
Fear and Rev. H. Irvine as assistants.
The first day's business was especially
the examination of ministerial charac-
ter. Two young men- were reeiene
mended as probationers for the minis-
try, Mr Albert Tiffin, of Nile, and Mr.
Wm. Lewis Parish, of Chiselhutst,
the latter for work in the North West.
In the evening a very interesting S.S.
meeting was held, when stirring ad-
dresses were given by Revs H. J. Fair,
H. Irvine and A. Potter; the choir
contributed much to the interest of
the meeting. On the second day the
laymen were present, and the business
of the day was mostly financial, being
the reports from the different circuits.
In the reading of schedules a marked
increase was noticeable on most of the
circuits, particularly Nile and Dun-
gannon, which, beside being in ad-
vance in the connexional funds, were
able to report an increase of a hundred
dollars each in ministerial support.

District Templars.
The regular meeting of the north
Huron District Lodge, I. 0. G. T., was
held in the Temperance Hall, Blyth,
on Friday last. The attendance was
the largest known for some time, near-
ly two hundred deelgates being present
Verbal reports from the various lodges
represented showed that the most of
them had prospered during the term.
Wingham and Clinton lodges in par-
ticular had made very marked advance-
ment, the former having a member-
ship of 208 in a two years' existence,
while Clinton lodge, only organized
in February last, has a membership of
90. There are 22 lodges in the district;
tuid during the quarter two had ceased
to exist and five new ones were organ-
ized. The membership in 1891 was
933, and the membership now is 1190,
making an increase of 207, with a cash
balance in the District treasury of $38.
Mrs Scott, of Parkdall, Grand Sup-
erintendent of Juvenile Templars, was
present and gave an illustration of the
private work of the order, also giving
the Juvenile Templars' interesting
to sever-
al members. Several dis-
cussions on matters relating to tem-
perance progress were taken part in
by a number of the delegates, but as
time was Ihnited, some of the address-
es were left over for future considera-
tion. The officers elected for the en-
suing term are: -P. D. C. T., W. F.

vale, Brucefield, Dungannon and Nile
responded to the r611, call. Reports
were also given limn each of these
Auxiliaries, showing that 'missionary
zeal was not only growing in the hearts
of the tnembers themselves, but, its in.
fluence was being felt by the ladies of
the different churches outside of, the
• Bilissionary Society, /18 the addition of
new members in most of the reports
bore record. The other Auxiliaries
of the district, no doubt, would have
furnished equally cheering reports, had
• they not been prevented from attend-
ing by the unfavorable weather. After
singing another hymn, reports were
taken from the Mission Circles. Miss
Stokes reporting for Goderich, and
Miss Minnie Cantelon for Clinton Rat-
ter bury St., Mrs Andrews for Ontario
St. reported the intention of starting a
Mission Band in the near future. The
following program was then given:-
Duett, by Misses Andrews and Miller;
Paper, Mission work in Japan, by Miss
, Adele Stevenson, Holmesville; Duet,
I Misses Taylor and Boles; Paper, Work,
or true servants of Christ, by Mrs
Andrews Clinton; Solo, Miss Sadie
Sibley; Reading, She hath done what
she thought she couldn't, by Miss
Bruee, Goderich; Duet, Mrs Chown
and Mrs Marcey. The President then
expressed her pleasure at seeing Mrs
Pentland, the lady evangelist, from
Dungannon, present, and called on her
to address the Convention. She re-
sponded by speaking for a few minutes
on the need of entire, personal, conse-
cration to Christ, on the part of each
member as the only method of suc-
cessful work. After singing a Con-
secration Hynan a few minutes were
spent in telling of help and blessing
received in the monthly meetings.
and in werking for their promotion
and success, some valuable hints
were alto thrown out in regard to
more concentrated effort among
the ladies of the congregations,
such as canvassing each member per-
sonally, distribution of "scattered
helpers," holding a prayer meeting the
week -before the Missionary- Meeting,
also by the personal work of each
member of the Auxiliaries. Some
members of the sister Society of the
Presbyterian church were present, and
extended kindly, Christian greeting to
our society, and added interest and
profit to the meeting by their practical
and instructive suggestions. The Con-
vention, after unanimously reappoint
ing Mrs (Rev) J. W. Shilton Vice
President for the ensuing year, closed
with the Benediction.

Nor.pe.-The annual meeting of the
Wingham District of the Methodist
church was held in Wingham, on
Wednesday and Thursday of last week;
Rev Mr Sellery, chairman, presiding,
and a full attendance was present. Kr
R. Elliott, of the Times, is still in a
very critical condition. The Queen's
birthday was celebrated here on Tues.
day; the different games were very
interesting, and were well contested,
and we hepe that all enjoyed them-
selves. The W. C. T. U. hare a lunch
rpom on Tuesday, and did very well;
we hope that the ladies may be so en-
couraged that they may open up a
placaof such like, to accommodate the
public. Harry Garbutt, of Winghatn,
the alleged forger, who has been in To-
ronto jail for over a year, went back
to Texas Wednesday, in charge of De-
tective Lucas, of that StateIn
; spector
Stark of Toronto accompanied them as
far as Port Huron; as stated a few days
ago, Garbutt abandoned the appeal at
Osgoode Hall, and will now stand his
trial in Texas.
UNION REVIVAL SERVICES. -The re-
ligious services conducted by Revs.
Crossley and Hunter are still increas-
ing in interest. Wednesday evening
of last week they conducted a temper-
ance service. The Good Templars met
at their hall and, headed by the brass
hand, marched to- the church; the W.
C.T.U. met in the lecture room, and
came in, both companies occupying the
centre seats, thus filling the centre of
the church with temperance workers.
Mr Hunter said he wished to give them
a few words of warning about three Bs,
the ball room, the billiard table, and
the bar room. The mention of the lat-
ter seemed to arouse his inmost soul,
as he exclaimed, "I shall flght it while
the Lord lends me breath." Mr Cross-
ley and Prof. Scott sang "Throw out
the life line, some one is drifting away."
Mr Crossley then addressed the audi-
ence on behalf of prohibition, taking
for his text Psalm 51, and part of the
14th verse, "Deliver me from blood -
guiltiness." The discourse was well
received by all, and we hope the useful
• lessons given by them during the even-
ing may have a lasting impression for
good upon all. The Bible reading in
the Congregational church, on Thurs-
day evening was one of great interest,
and was very much enjoyed by those
resent. Mr Hunter officiated, Mr
lrossley presiding at the organ. In
the evening the meeting was one of
great power, and lasting impressions
were made upon the minds of many
present. Friday evening Mr Hunter
read Luke 5, at the third verse he de-
scribed Christ entering into the ship
and teaching the people; at the fourth
verse he said to Simon, "Launch out
into the deep and let down your nets,"
this, he remarked, represented people
who were not fully trusting on Christ,
and urged upon them to launch out
into the ocean of God's love; in the
fifth verse Simon complains that they
have toiled all night and taken noth-
ing, yet they obeyed their Master's
command, and the sixth verse shows
the blessing that follows true obedi-
ence. Froin this chapter he showed
that Christ was both ready and willing
to impart blessings to all those who
come trusting in Him. Mr Crossley
addressed the audience from Luke 9,
13-17, and most beautifully and practi-
cally explained the miracle as there
recorded, of Christ feeding the five thou-
sand men, beside women and children
Sabbath morning services were held as
efollowee-Mr -Crossley -in the- Baptist
church, Mr Hunter in the Congrega-
tional church, both churches being
very much crowded, and their address
highly spoken of; Mr Mcquarrie in his
own church, and Mr Watson in the
Methodist church. Mr Watson's text
was taken from St. John 17, 22, "That
they may be one even as we are one."
He showed the oneness of the Chris-
tian church, although known by diffe-
rent names; he clahned that regarding
the great fundamental truths they
were as one great body. He gave three
great essentials for the Christian
church, first, the belief in a God; se-
cond, in his Son Jesus Christ, and
thire, in the Holy Spirit. His sermon
through -out shmeeed a warm, brotherly
feeling towards all Christian churches.
Before sitting down he said that he
was thankful that he could preach from
any church pulpit. At four o'clock Mr
Hunter addressed a meeting of women,
boys and girls, in the Methodist church,
and gave them some grand lessons, es-
pecially the young women, warning
them against those young men who
put on considerable style, remarking
that they would have it cigar with a
little fire on one end and a fool on the
other. The women were much pleased
with the discourse, and would be pleas-
ed to hear him again. The church was
crowded, and many had to go away
without being able to get in. At the
same hour Rev Mr Crossley addres-
sed a meeting of men, in the town
hall, on the "Mysteries of the ma-
terial and spiritual world." This
was a very interesting address, and if
there were any Infidels in the audience,
they received a grand lesson on testing
the existenceof a God. In the evening
Mr Sellery preached in the Baptist
church, taking as the foundation of his
discourse, Daniel 3, 16-18, and showed
how wonderfully God would keep and
deliver his own true worshippers, and
impressed upon his audience the ne-
cessity of being true to God, in order
to overcome the trials of life. Messrs
Crossley and Hunter conducted the
service in the Presbyterian church; the
place was crowded with eager listeners,
many of whom had come several miles
to hear them. At the close of the ser-
vice Mr Hunter was very much ex-
hausted, so he left next morning for
his home in St. Thomas, for few days'
rest. On Monday evening Mr Crossley
conducted the service, and gave the
parlor dance a splendid showing up;
he wished the mothers who send their
daughters to dancing school to hold up
their hands, but all must have been in-
nocent, as no hands went up. His ar-
guments against the dance were from
a Christian standpoint, and were that
of good, sound judgment. He wished
the dancers to take the dance out of
their heels and have it put in their
hearts, and the form of dance would be
changed very much. On Tuesday
evening Mr Hunter took the lesson
from Genesis 28, commencing at the
tenth verse. After speaking of Jacob's
wonderful dream, he drew the picture
of the young man leaving home, the
aching heart of that father, and throb-
bing -breast of that mother, as she
pressed her boy to her heart for the
-last time, and with a mother's prayer
pressed a parting kiss upon his cheek,
as he 'went out upon the world, per-
haps never to meet on earth again. I
was very touching, and many cheek
were.damped with tears. Mr Crossle
atlatessed th audience ton differen
kind:, of hint era, one WAS that e
Mixing card playing with other games,
such as QbeeKeI43 and chess; he showed
plainly that cards could not be played
without gambling, whether for money
-or not. Lie sang "Don't go near the
bar room, brother, and "Tolling bells.
Mr Crossley is an excellent singer, and.
his songs make it wonderful impression
for good upon the people.

all, for there has been two of our geni-

been putting the thing off too long,
which they will find to their joy when
they taste of some of the comforts of

last week to Miss Cragie, of Paisley;
Mr Wm McIntyre was married to Miss
Mills on the 25th; we wish both couple
every prosperity. How that poor
bellows must be groaning in Holmes-

AeneefirsT Co -OPERATE. -Mr. N. Aw-
rey, M.P.P., Ontario's Commissioner
for thefforld'seFair, has issued an in-
vitation to producers, stock -breeders,
agriculturists, manufacturers, fruit -
growers, and others, to send in their
applications for space in the Ontario
section at the great fair. Applications
are aleady pouring in so rapidly that
Mr Awrey is now making arrange-
ments in Chicago for largely increased
space. Creditable as the exhibit made
by this Province at the Centennial was
in 1876, it will bear no comparison to
what Mr. Awery expects to do in 1893.
But to do this he must have the hearty
co-operation of the citizens of the Pro-
vince at large, and it is to be hoped
that this will be forthcoming, so that
citizens of this Province visiting
Chicago next year will have just cause
to point with pride to what Ontario
has done.

there would be more people
buy them if they knew we kept

how they can make their dress
fit well, when they could 'save
time,trouble and cloth by using

Early last Friday morning a
gentleman came in fora couple
of Curtain Poles. He said his
wife saw an advertisement in
the NEw ERA and wanted the
largest and best Curtain Pole
she could get for 25cts. We
suited him and many more
since.
Some people tell us we are
selling Bicycles too cheap.
Well, we consider that a
compliment, and we will tell
you why we can sell them
cheap, Mid that is because our
trade warrants a large pur.
chase, which means for us a
cut in the wholesale price.
You understand that as well as we
do, and the young men have everycon-
fidence in our giving them reliable
wheels, whether they be high pr low.
LOOK HERE FOR PRICES - A brand
new line of High Wheels, regularly
sold at $85, for $25. $125 wheel for $40
At these prices our orders cannot be
duplicated, as the manufacturers claim
them to be 50 per cent below cost.
Why such a reduction? Just because
the SAFETY Wheels are more popular,
and in order to sell the stock of High
Wheels the price must be made to suit
those who cannot see their way clear
to secure a low one.
