Douglas and Somers were the battery for the winners, and Sims and McKay for the losers.

The subject of any player's popularity end the cause wan up, There were lour of the most popular men in the game in the crowd —certainly four men who ought to know, One thought the man who made sensational catches in the field and startling stops in the infield won popu- larity; another thought it was relia- bility and steadiness and base -running: a third felt sure a malt's carriage. quick - nese, and cleanness in movement and play did the trick, while a fourth thought it was put-outs and assists that were the best pleasers of the crowd.

The royal commission on the Gemey case presented their report to the On- tario legislature last Thursday. The result of the finding in brief is as fol- lows :—Charges of corruption stand dis- proved by great teams of evidence; ac- cuser is wholly discredited ; Provincial Secretary Stratton vindicated, and gov- ernment cleared of charges; commission questions the credibility of tnan1 of (limey's statements, declaring that he played a double pert and that his ac- tions were erractic and inconsieteut; mutilated pages in tate account hooka of the Croseiu Piano Co. and Gainey's pe- culiar actione in regard to the deposit slips considered to be damaging to his veracity ; commission finds that apart from the provincial secretary, Gamey had no intercourse with the toss min- iatry; his plan was to wreck the goy- erntnent. It is understood that the government will give Chancellor Boyd and Chief Justice Falconttridge *500 a day each for their services nn the royal comtnis- elon. They sat 27 days so that they will receive altogether $18,900 apiece. It is also understood that the govern- ment intends to pay one lawyer on each aide, Mr. Johnston and Mr. Blake, and their fees will likely be ahem, *5000 each. The entire cost of the in- vestigation will amount to between *40,000 and *50,000.

WAGGONER LADDER CO., LTD London,C.uada, —The late Mr, Justice Lount was always fond of a joke, and his good humor was contagious. An anecdote about him is being re -told. In days gone by he was a young lawyer at Bar- rie, where Rico dr. D'Arcy Boulton had a law office. Mr. Lount, in driving home one dark night when the roads were blocked with snow, ran over a calf. The farmer demanded *10. Not having that amount in his pocket, Mr. Lount told the farmer his name was Boulton, of Barrie, and to call ani see hitn. In due course the farmer called upon Mr. Lroulton, then a candidate for parliament, but he indignantly denied 'responsibility. The farmer then took legal advice from Mr. Lount in entire ignorance that he was the real delin- quent. Lount undertook to "Ree' Boul- fon, to whom he addressed the follow- ing weighty arguments; That no doubt the farmer was mistaken, but an elec- tion was coining Oil, eta. Mr. Bonito') paid up, and at the next county bar Mr. Lount told the whole story with great, enjoyment. —Hon, W. S. Fielding introduced a bill in the House of Commons on Mon- day to encourage small savings of a class not reached by the government savings banks. A Toronto gentleman had asked some time ago for a charter for a bank of this kind. It was thought better to have such an organization of this nature established under some gen- eral rules which would apply to others. 'these penny banks might be established by letters patent, issued by the gover- nor -in -council, and would to collecting agencies for the government savings hank, A. small proportion, perhaps five ler cent, would be retained by the penny bank, but the balance would be placed in the government savings bank. These banks would not necessarily have the ordinary capital, but would have a guarantee fund of *10,000 as a guarantee of sound management. They would be established largely on a philanthropic basis, and would be allowed one-half per cent above the ordinary- savings bank rate, the additional one-half per cent to be devoted to the cost of management. No deposit could exceed *800 and the penny Woke would be neither money- lending nor money -investing inetitu- tionb. Or Blyth Connell.

The result was in favor of the bylaw, which was carried by a vote of 446 for, and eight against.

For instance, a few day, ego the line "Fore and Aft in Front" struck our curiosity, which was gratified on learning that " Fore and Aft" was the name of a horse.

Knox, a well-to-do farmer, about 80 years of age, living near Britton, and about eight miles frofromListowel, wag found by one of his family near his barn about eight o'clock Saturday morning dead with his throat cut from ear to ear. He had his breakfast 11.4 usual, and seemed in his usual healthy spirits, and did his usu 1 morning chores. He had evidently meditated the deed for some time. for the knife with which he cut his throat was an old tahle•knife which he had filed to a sharp edge and made a came from some heavy cloth in which he had carried the knife in his pocket.

There ie a fine quality of bravery in the way some of these men face the situation and work out the last dollar in order to save their honor, but the wife and children may suffer long before the debt is aatisfled. It is hard for some men to refuse this e ndorsement for a friend, yet it Is al- ways a risky thing to do. We wish that a sudden attack of pen petsy might strike most of our friends when they are called to endoree notes or sign con- tracts with strangers. —THE STANDARD goes into the homes and is read by the entire family.
