Miss Delia Sperling, graduate of To- ronto Conservatory of Music, has re- i.rtrned from Spokane, Wash., where the bas been teaching music for the past fifteen months. She will take her sister's class and prepare pupils for conservatory examinations, as well as teach the famous Fletcher music me- thod, Simplex and ,ti;inderga sten for children from five to sixteen. Theaim of the Fletcher method is to give a thorough tnd.sical ecineation, and get the rudimentary part over without the drudgery of the old way. It trains the ear, teaches them to read readily, and gives them a thorough knowledge of time, scales, intervals and chords as far as the dominant seventh and musi- cal history, all in an interesting and pleasurable way, so that none of the love of music is crashed out by chil- dren being driven to practice when they do not understand what they are doing. Miss Sparling will give a de- monstration of the method and show the apparatus, (which is the finest in the world,) on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, at her home. Parents thinking of having their children take lessons will be welcome. Miss Spar- ling's professional card appears in an- other willow.

Mr. Charles McLean of Arthur was suddenly summoned from family and friends to the world beyond, one night last week. He was a brother of Mr. Lauchlin McLean and father of Thos. McLean, both of Wingham, and was well known to many here in the early days of Wingham. Mr. McLean re- tired to rest on Thursday night in his u'sual health, and ere morniug dawned Itis spirit,had taken its flight. Neural- gia of the heart is supposed to have been the cause. Deceased was fifty- eight years of age. He was horn in Cape Breton and came to Ontario when quite young.

T. McNair of Dungannon presided, Mr. Nicholls is a fluent, forcible speaker, thorough- ly conversant with the temperance question in all its phases. His many years of experience and active partici- pation in so many campaigns have fur- nished hint with a fund of information not often exceeded, and he was listen- ed tp with interest for over an hour. He referred to the present crisis, the plebiscites of 1801 and 1898; the Mani- toba Bill and its provisions. The pled- ges given by Premiers Mowat, Hardy and Ross were recalled, and the fact emphasized that instead of fulfilment of these pledges, this so-called referen- dum had been given, so heavily loaded that success was almost impossible. He pointed out the difference between the SWeis Referendum 'and this thing now thrown to the temperance people. The conditions were very bad and grossly unjust. The questions of sin and crime were considered ; the restric- tions of law hearing upon personal lib- erty were explained ; we could not do as we liked with our own property; the law would not permit him to dress in female apparel. The Maine prohibi- tory haw n -as referred to, and its suc- cessr Cess emphasized b y comparison pa fson be- tween that State and Ohio, The latter State, with six times the population and better soil, had fewer depositors and smaller deposits in the Savings Banks than Maine. This he attributed to the enforcement of the Prohibition law in Maine, Tlie speaker was fre- quently applauded, Afterte had con- eluded hie address, resolutions were in order, It was moved by Mr. l3rydges, b Mr. Kerr -That secondedy Tl t this mass meeting expresses its great dissatisfac tion with the terms of the referendum. It was also moved by Messrs, R, Mcin- cloo and Alex, Kelly -That the thanks of West Huron Prohibition Alliance bo tendered to the four members of the Legislature who endeavored to secure favorable conditions on the referen- dum. Both resolutions were carried by standing votes, and the audience dispersed after singing of the National Anthem and pronouncement of the benediction, For the convenience of those in search of a house or fat'tn to rent or buy, or for the purpose of making known any special feature in the r•e►11 estate business, I have placed at the entrance of the hallway from the street, a notice card, on which will be stated any special not ice.

In response to invitations issued by Wingharu Prohibition League, a num- ber of delegates and friends of prohi- bition met in the Council Chamber to consider the wisest course to he taken in the approaching contest, and organ- ize for the fray. After devotional exercises, Mr, John Kerr was elected chairman, and D. E. Munro of Auburn, Secretary. Mr. Nicholls, Organizer for the Do- minion Alliance was present and on request gave his views on organization. He regard%ct the situation as critical, and the conditions of the referendum grossly unfair to temperance people, and made in favor of the lignor trade. The intention of the Alliance was to secure thorough organiz•ttion. Only four men in the Legislature were favorable to Prohibition and if success was hoped for, temperance people must make their votes tell in the com- ing elections, for he believed public sentiment was overwhelmingly with them. • Discussion followed, in which Revs. McNair, Wilson, Oaten, Burwash, Donn, and Mr. McKenzie of Goderich took part. The latter raised two ques- tions -whether this convention was re- presentative, and also whether it em- braced all the chnrches. The first ob- jection was met by roll call, when it was found that every ►minicipality in Ike riding was represented, except Blyth. It was then decided to organize per- manently and a committee was ap- pointed to report on the name, and officers of the organization. The come mittee reported as follows :-- NAVE — West Huron Prohibition Alliance. OFFicmts-President- Geo. Elliott, Goderich ; Vice -Pres,- Rev. S. M. Whaley, B. A., St. Helens ; Sec-Treas. -D. E. Munro,. Auburn. Vice -Presi- dents for Municipalities --Ashfield, D. Agnew; West•Wawanosh, W.Watson; East Wawanosh, A. Carr; Colborne, A. Young ; Hullett, John Wilson ; Goderich, J. E. Tout ; Goderich town- ship, A. J.Conrtice; Wingliant, Halsey Park. The report was adopted. Rev. F. J. Oaten moved - Whereas the Prohibitionists in convention had requested the removal of the unfair conditions of the referendum, and their request had not been granted, this convention repudiates the refer- endum and declines to take any action regarding the Liquor Act of 1002. Mr. Oaten vigorously supported his motion, He claimed that success in reaching the majority risked was im- possible; they would be hopelessly de- feated. Suppose it were carried, the constitutionality of the referendum was doubtful,iand there would be appeal to the Privy Council, and in the end the thing would be thrown out and the t niF.tn temperance cause delayed y years Prettier Ross and cabinet had left nothing undone to kill the referendum; he anci the officials of his circuit world repudiate the whole thing, A lively discussion followed. Some spoke in favor of the motion, but pre- ferred waiting before deciding. Rev. G. AI, Daum in an earnest ad- dress spoke in favor of taking what in n n n •rn�b►to make had been given and gv it a success, to amendment, it was moved by Mr. VanAtter and seconded by Me. MacKenzie -that this Convention ad- journ to meet at the call of the execu tive in Goderich at an early date, to consider action to be taken on the ro- ferendtan -carried. The thanks of the convention were tendered to Mr, Master and the three other members, of the Legislature,who endeavored to secure flair 'conditions for tlr, referendum. The general feeling of the eonven- tion appeared to be in favor of making its influence felt, itt the coming general election, Dissatisfaction with the treat- ment received from the gavel'i)nlent was strongly expressed, 4n4 t tt rack - less disregard of 'pledges tirade to the temperance people rias emphatically iien'ouneed. Equinoctial Storms, m, The belief that the sun's crossing the equator in the spring and the fall causes atmospheric disturbances dies hard, but it is dying for all that. It is true, as a rule, that we have such dis- turbances about the middle of March and the middle of September, but the stere "crossing of the lice" by the sun does not produce them, as many per- sons believe. The disturbances are due to atmospheric changes that take place over the equatorial belt when the cool season gives place to the warm, and when the warm season gives place to the cold. It has been shown by care- fully kept records in England that more storms occur during the week preceding and the week following the equinox. That the sun's passing an imaginary line should cause a storm is absurd front the scientist's standpoint, but it is true. nevertheless, that the storms are caused by the sun's position in the sky. There Is:no objection to calling the storms equinoctial because they occur at the equinoctial season, but there is objection to applying that terns to them because they are expect- ed on the equinoctian date.

DEAR SIR—The Templar says "Since the Privy Council decision every Lib- eral paper in the province has been harpiug on the objection to prohibi- tion." We are sorry for that. We would like to see a question such as this -for the general good -run on its ►nerits. The editor of the Brussels Post is undoubtedly rt, temperance man in theory and practice, but we fear his paper may 'also he included in the above charge of the Templar. No Net- ter articles appeared, editorially, for the Plebiscite than those of the Post iu 1890; but when, six months later, Mr. Laurier announced his purpose concerning prohibition, the Post at once defended his action, and now the good editor says ho cannot "pin his faith" to the Dominion Alliance. Who can pin his faith to Mr. Ross' govern- ment on this question ? Twelve hun- dred delegates were practically of one mind, and though no temperance or- ganization, asked for or endorsed the referendum, yet the Alliance agreed to accept it, if reasonable conditions were attached, Hence they made only two requests, and both have been flatly re- fused and all amendments voted down. The Cabinet was closeted with leading liquor men all Tuesday evening -the night before the date set for the mov- ing of the second reading of Mr. Ross' bill, The Templar says :-"If the great, prohibition convention bad remained in session long enough to hear a report from the deputation which waited upon n Ar. Ross nnFebruary 20th, it would have decided by nine to one to oust the Government as the only contra: left for self-respecting and ju- dicious prohibitionists to take, If that convention had remained in session long enough to hear the terms now imposed, the vote to oast the Govern- ment would rather, have been ninety- nine to one." I confess I have been . n v sen simple enough non h to work in every campaign with the belief that we were dealing with hn- est men, Mowat and needy, and I sin- cerely looked to lion. G. W.
