CURRENT TOPICS.
We have been requested to give the
meaning of the following, which recent-
ly appeared in THE NEWS -RECORD :--
"If the old truism holds good that a
man must he judged by the company
he keeps what will the loyal electors of
West Huron say of Robert Newman?"
It means that Mr. Newman is inconr-
pany with Daniel McGillicuddy, an
enemy to the great majority of his
(Newman's) supporters, an enemy to
the country where he secures his bread
and butter, and a Black and Tan Cur
of the fence -corner specie.
Peter Ryan, the notorious Ontario
Government politician,who played such
an important part among the Roman
Catholics of this Riding in behalf of
Mr. Cameron, has made a personal at-
tack on Rev. Fr. West of Goderich. A
writer in the Goderich Star, "Elector,”
dealt outustice to Peter and showed
up some of his tactics. Peter has been
"informed" that Rev, Fr. West is the
author, but fails to give any proof for
the faith that is in him, and at once
proceeds to froth over with dire ven-
geance. Peter's sins in West Huron
have found him out and he is realizing
the fact.
County Master's Address.
Published by special request.
To the Officera and Al -embers of the County
Orange Lodge of South Huron :
BRETHREN, -I feel it a great pleas-
ure and privilege to be permitted for -
the first time to deliver this, my first
annual address ars County Master to
the members of the large, intelligent
and prosperous County of South
Huron.
Today our membership, from a local
as well as a national standpoint, is
greater than it ever has been in the
history of the British Empire, and
South Huron has contributed 1'er just
proportion to the general prosperity of
our beloved Institution.
In the County during this, my first,
year of office, not only has prosperity
marked the Orange Order, peace ;turf
plenty and almost universal harmony
prevails. This speaks well for the
principles of Orangeisin--principles
that have withstood the test of adverse
criticism for two centuries and to -day
shines more brightly than the new gold
coin of yesterday. Other Societies in
numerable have come into existence;
some have adopted what is claimed to
he a more aggressive, and at the salve
time offensive, crusade against the
Church of Rome; some have endeavor-
ed to bring success to their efforts
through this noble institution, and
even make the unwarranted assertion
that the Loyal Orange Institution is
not accomplishing the end for which it
was over two hundred years ago
brought into existence. Tnis, I desire
to say, is not warranted by facts, and I
am sure every brother Orangeman
present will agree with roe.
The Orange Institution is founded nn
the broadest principles of British free-
dom and British Liberty. We are
bound not to persecute any roan for
conscience sake, to maintain, inviolate,
the constitution of the country, the
supremacy of law, order and constitu-
tional freedom. In short, we disclaim
an intolerant spirit, and are hound
to aid and defend all loyal subjects of
every religious persuasion in all con-
stitntion;tl r ights.
Just so longer as time lasts will the
Orange Institution survive.
Our foundation and principles are so
liberal minded aril broad that the in-
stitution extends wherever It Protest -
)int Briton is to he found.
1 had the pleasure of attending the
Grand Orange Lodge of British Ameri•
ca at Halifax last sornrner, along with
Past County Master Bros. Todd and
Scarlett, from this County. The breth-
ren of this section have, i must say,
been favored by Providence in almost
every respect. The trip Was long and
tedious, but gives one an idea of Can-
ada's great resources.
ilalifax is very strongly fortified by
war ships, and British Soldiers under
the pay of the Impelial authorities.
There, one of the great keys of milit-
ary defence is held against Canadian
and British foes, and the impregnable
bulwarks, fleets, guns and fortresses
roust instil a natural pride in the
heart of every true Orangeman.
The Grand Lodge was in session sev-
eral days and mach important work re-
lative to the Order was transacted.
Every lodge has received a full report
of the proceedings.
I desire to say a word about the pre-
sent unhappy agitation in Canada -
Manitoba Schools. It behooves eery
Orangeman to guard well bis uttetanees
at the present time. Agitations may
come and ffo; Parliaments mayi come
and go -still the principlesof our glori-
out Institution must ever remain the
same. On the Manitoba School Ques-
tion there is a very wide difference of
opinion among the very hest minds of
Canada.
We must not then bo surprised when
we find Orangetnediyided in opinion.
Such being the case, we should be yery
cautious in our deliberations and pub -
he utterances. Whatever we do, see
to it that the constitution is followed
to the letter and harmony roust pre-
vail.
I regret to say that the Orange In-
surance Department is not supported
as liberally as it deserves, but I trust
during the year there will he a substan-
tial increase of insured members.
The session of this Loyal County
Orange Lodge, I trust, will be marked
by continued harmony, and that your
deliberations will redound to the future
well being of the Grand and Honored
Orengo Association and County of
South Huron.
Faithfully yours,
JOHN NEIL.

Death on The Rail.
BRAKEMAN ALEX. LIViNGSTONE FALLS
INTO A CATTLE -GUARD AT IIFNSALL
ANI) IS INSTANTLY KILLED.
One result of the recent heavy falls
of snow was to lead to the inatentaano-
ous and horrible death of Brakeman
Alex. Livingstone, of the G. T. R. Sat-
urday night, admit 9.30 o'clock. Liv-
ingstone was one of the London, Huron
& Bruce way freight crew and met his
death while on duty in the railway
yards at Hensall. •
The accident occurred through Liv-
ingstone
ivin stone mistaking, in the insufficient.
light, a cattle -guard packed with sn )W
as part, of the solid roadbed. He was
assisting in the shunting of cars, and
the work was being hurried, its the
crew were a day late because of the
heavy snowstorms. A car hail to he
"kicked" into the Heneall siding, in
the railway man's parlance, and Liv-
ingstone was in the act of drawing a
coupling pin from between two cars
while the whole train was being slowly
shunted. He had to move along while
pulling the pin, when he suddenly sank
in the deep snow in the cattle -guard.
In an instant the fatal car• following{
haci done its work. The body was bad-
ly mangled.
Grief-stricken eomrades of the dead
man tenderly gathered up the remains
and they were carried into the caboose,
and thence taken to Wingham, and to
the home of the young man's father.
Deceased was unmarried, and ahout 28
years of age. He lived with his father
and mother, who not long since had
moved to Winghan nn his account.
His eonnection with the G. T. R. dates
hack a number of years, and promotion
would shortly have come his way. He
was exceedingly popular among his
comrades, and when he left London
with his train at 4.30 the same after-
noon his good nature was again re-
marked among the men in the local
yards. Livingstone was a member of
Council No, 75, C. O. C. F.. and of
Lodge No. 240, Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen.

"Big Foot Johnson is a noted crimin-
al of Southern California and rtcently
he was traced from ,the scene of a
highway robbery to his hiding place
in a swamp many miles away, by the
immense foot prints he left en route,
But Johnson's shoes were only sixteen
irches long and now another Califor-
nian turns up at San Jose and beats
the record with pedal apparel seven
lnehes wide and eighteen and a half
inches long. John Decant is the owner
of the feet and he has just left an
a,l pair of shoes In a San Jose shop
and had a new pair made to order.
The youth of the town gathered
ar
kcut hethose shop and saw t se wonder-
ful feet enshrouded In two calf skins.
Defant was not annoyed by the curio-
sity. Ile frankly said he had long got
o : el that feeling.
"They may look large," he said
frar.kly and modestly, as one knew
the real worth of his possessions, "but
they ain't. You just ought to see my
sister's feet," And he proceeded to
revtal to those gaping youngsters the
brc ad and noble dimensions of his
sister's Trilbys.
Defant is working about the minas in
the Sierra foothills. Though a French -
r ar he looks as big as the biggest of
the Cornish miners In that locality.
Tfc. IS six feet six inches tall, weighs
230 pounds, and is 45 years of age.
Telephones and Lightning.
Investigations carried on for several
years have shown that the introduc-
tion of the telephone has greatly les-
sened the danger from lightning. (ler-
trlsn statisticians have established
data secured by observation of 4,374
buildings in cities without the tele-
phone and 37,444 In cites whch have
telephone service. The annual average
of lightning striking these houses for
the past five years shows that four
of the 4,374 hu11dings in cities without
telephone were struek, while only two
of the 37,444 houses in cities with tele-
phone scrv(ec suffered in that way.
The proportion pro rata In 100,000
houses would he 91 to 5, which proves
how much less the danger from light-
ning is In cities where the telephone
Is Introduced than in those without it.

"Were you rude to her ?" inquired

"1 am afraid no, She was telling me
how Mr. Wlekles proposed to her. She
