FORCED TO QUIT WORK AND FRAIUItU THAT HE WOULD HAVE To DROP 2tIs TRADE-I3Otlr HU AT LAST kOUND A c JRE. From the Stratford Beaoon. Among the residents of Stratford there is probably none bettor known or more highly respected than Mr. James E. Smith, the Ontario street tonsorial t artist. Mr. Smith is also known in Toronto, in which city he worked for several To in a Yonge street harber shop. 'lo a reporter of the Beacon, who is a customer of his, the affable harber recently told of his recovery from a late very severe illness. He had, he said, fot• some years been afflicted with a weak bark, so tuuch so that at times if he stooped he could nut regain an upright position unassisted, and as for lifting anything, that was out of the question. "For years," to use Mr. Smith's o•,vti words, " 1 could not carry a scuttle -full of coal." He had, so the physic•ans whom he con- sulted told him, disease of the kidneys, but they failed to cure hitt. He grew weak at length and rapidly lost flesh. quite frequesttlyy be would be obliged to give up work for a week and take to is bed. He lost his appetite, was pale and so unnerved that he could not possibly hope to continue longer at bis trade. "Customers of the barb- er shop," he remarked, " do not care to he shaved by a roan whose hand trem- bles." He had begin in bed for souse time undergoing treatment when one morning his wife said to hint, "dim, I've got a new medicine 1 want yoti to try." It was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills she had. He objected to Wrote medi- cine, as invalids tvill do, but at length as sensible men usually are. he was guided by his wife. 'But mind you" he said, "1 had no faith in the pills ; 1 only took their to please my wife." It was fortunate he did so, for he was soon hack at work and after taking several boxes of the medicine was stronger than he had been for several years. Within two months after be- ginning to take Pink Pills he felt like a new man and had gained over twenty pounds in weight. There is certainly no healthier looking tuan in the city to -day than Mr. Smith. Since his res- toration to health by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills he has recommended tate remedy to many of his friends and has yet to hear of a case where the rernedy faithfully tried was found wanting. In cases like that of Mr. Smith, Pink Pills furnish a speedy and effective cure, as indeed they do in all cases de- pendent upon +[ poorer watery condition of the blood or impaired nervous forces. Dr. Williams' Ptnk Pills cure when other medicines foil. Sold -by all deal- ers or sent by mail postpaid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, by ad- dressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.., or Schenectady, N. Y. Under no circumstances are the genuine Pink Pills sold in bulk, but only in boxes, the wrapper around which is printed in red ink and bears the full trade mark, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Pills offer- ed in any other form, no matter what color, are worthless imitations. Hallett. The Council of Hallett:inet in Bell's Hail on the 21st. Members all present. The Reeve in the chair. Mr. R. Rens- ford who was present handed in a petition with forty one names of rate- payers thereto asking the Council to construct a bridge over the south branch of the Maitland at lot 15, cons. 4 and 5. Councillors Snell and Leitch were appointed acommittee to examine the local ityof the proposed new bridge at the time of high water for the purpose of judging as to the practicability or necessity of having a bridge erected there pursuant to said petition and snake their report thereon to the Council at the next meeting. The Clerk was instructed to Cause enquiry to he made at the Surveyor -General's office as to why the proper location of Con. Road 4 and 5 from lots 6 to 11 has not yet been estahlised. A car load of cedar, assorted, will be procured this spring for Township purposes. A By - Law was passed appointing 105 Path- inasters, nine fence viewers and six potmdkeeper•s. The names of the fence viewers are • William Shipley, eY, A n us McDerinid, Thomas Carbert, Richard Carter, John Fowler, George Watt, Henry Allan, John Govier, Henry Farrow. The names of the Pound - keepers are as follows : William Rinn, James Reynolds, John E. Taylor, George Collison, Joseph Govier, John Bell. Council adjourned until April 22nd at 10 a. m. -James Campbell, clerk.

OUT UNTIL YOU SEE THE SIGNS OF SPRING. martens appear winter has PATRON .TREACHERY'. To the Editor of The Mall turd Empire, Sitz, -I notice to your paper of are.. cont date some particulars in connection with the course pursued by the Patrons of Industry Association as to nomiva,t- ing candidates. Your correspondent "E.O." gives many instances in the lower part of the province of counties where Couserva, tives are opposed by Patrons, and many more instances where Liberals aro not opposed by Patrons. He makes a very strong ease for his section of the coutr- try, but the sante thing seems to rule almost alt over Ontario, and should be a warning to Conservative Patrons. As "E. 0." writes particulars I send you the instances below given, which it seems to me ought to be a warning. In Kent Mr. Pardo, Patron M.I'.P., appeared at the convention which notninated Mr. A. Campbell, Grit, and made a speech, showing that Grits and Patrons, as he understood them, were one. In this riding Mr. Schell, the Pat- ron candidate, appeared at the nomi- nating convention of Sir Richard Cart- wright, and publicly supported that gentleman. He said Grits and Patrons were one. Just imagine the spectacle of Conservative Patrons following the lead of Sir Richard Cartwright. In North Norfolk Dlr. Vttnloo•', the Putroti .andidate, has publicly nn• nouliced his intention of supporting John Charlton, Grit. And The Norfolk Reformer rejoices that Patrons will help elect John Charlton in North Nor- folk and defeat David Tisdale in South Norfolk. Splendid game ! Surely Con- servatives will hardly be dupes eitough to help it played ! Lincoln is a strong Reform riding. It is hold by Mr. Gibson, a Grit, The Patrons ran a candidate in the Local ; now they say they are not strong enough to run a man in the Dominion, It should be remembered that the Local member for Lincoln was a Conserva- tive, and the Patrons opposed him. The late Patron candidate is an active sup- porter of Mr. Gibson. This is a strong Grit riding, and a wholly agricultural riding. There is no Patron candidate here, though if one would run well anywhere it would be here There is evidently no desire to bother James Sornerville, Grit. In Haldimand the representative i Hon. W. H. Montague, Conservative, and a Patron is being run ; while in South $rant, which is represented by Wm. Patterson, M.P., no Patron cnu- didate is being run. These instances, sir, ought surely to have some meaning in them. A WELLAND CONSEavaTIvn. The Chosen Friends. The Grand Council of Chosen Friends concluded their eighth annual session at Toronto on Wednesday night, the election of officers taking up the greater portion of the time, owing to the large number of candidates, especially for the minor offices. The election resulted as follows : -Grand Councill')r, W. P. Bell, Kingston, (ac- clamation) ; Grand Vice -Councillor, Rev. H. I. Allen, Napanee, on the fourth ballot ; Grand Recorder, W. F, Montague, Hamilton, re-elected by ac- clamation ; Grand Treasurer, S. Broad - foot, Guelph, re-elected by acclama- tion ; Grand Medical Examiner, Dr. Woolverton, Hamilton, re-elected; Grand Prelate, Rev. Mr. Johnson, 0n. the fourth ballot; Grand Marshal, J. A. Mathews, London, being elected on the seventh ballot from nine candid- ates ; Grand Warden, J. 13. Ross, Exe- ter, on the third ballot ; Grand Guard, eight candidates, Thos. Dindle, St. Thomas ; Grand Sentry, seven candi- dates, A. Mitchell; Grand Trustee, one year, ('has. Rister ; three years, S. S.

Runians, Brampton ; John Kane, Toronto.Ainn discussion9Sl)n tookk place e on the adjustment of the 1 -able of rates for the sick benefit department, a graded assessment plan being eventual- ly adopted. The Grand Recorder in the discussion submitted a table of statistics showing that members over 36 were receiving far more benefits than members under that age. The question was eventually subtnitted to the Executive Committee to report at the next annual meeting. The Grand Council will meet again in Toronto next year, on the fourth Tuesday in March.

To the Editor of the Mail and Empire. Sta.-The numerous facts you have published regarding the suspicious tac- tics of the Patrons of Industry induce me to ask attention to one or two further points. Mr. John Brown is running' as a perfectly independent candidate against Hon. Clarke Wallace, yet I find Mr. Brown ,sold $3,557 worth of flour to the Ontario Gov, rnment in 1894. Theta take their votes in the Legisla- ture. Their first voto was straight Grit, but the Grand Association. has mot since. There has been such a kick among the Conservative Patrons that they had to adopt one of the planks of the Conservative plat- form to square th ern elves, One of their number, Pardo, went astray on that vote. The next vote was on supplies to public institutions. If there is any- thing en which they are strong it is the purchase of public supplies, by tender, and not by favor, Yet when the vote Cattle they were riot there. All the Conservative Patrons vnt •d with the Opposition, plus two I do not believe we will ever see another division in which the Patrons will he found to be solid, be• cause the Tory Patrons have found that they are being Made cats' paws of to save tiro Mowat Government, They will not vote confidence in the Government if they know it. The Pat- ron movement began in the Grit camp, and will end there. It is seeking to oust the Conservative Government, at Ottawa, while refusing to vote want of confidence in the Mowat Government, even to the point of voting against its own plattorm. JOHN MeuLLEa.

Those who control the limited available stocks are not offering and there are no buyers looking for stuff. We quote about 65c for No. 1 hard, May deli veiy. Fort William, but this figure is nomin- al, The little wheat being marketed by farmers in Manitoba country markets is taken by millers at an average price of about 50c per bushel. Country millers have very little wheat on hand - the bulk of the stuff being held by the two large milling concerns. As a consequence the mills will not do much grinding the coming summer. As farmers will soon be starting their spring work. country markets will soon be closed up, and the few remain- ing buyers will be taken off '[bout April 1. According tote grain circular one load of Manitoba wheat sold in N • vYork on the basis ofDecr May : 9` 1 option, f. o. b. afloat.
