The Fortnightly.
The Young Ladies' Fortnightly Club
held the last meeting of the season at
the home of Miss Gregory on the even-
ing of June 2nd. Covering the period
of froin September 23rd to June 2nd,
the members of the club took up the
study of Julius ()stems, one of Shake-
speare's great historical plays, which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all. An-
other of Shakespeare's plays will pro-
bably be the subject of study for next
season's work. The election of officers

Last Friday's Game.
When Wingham and Cargill base-
ball teams meet, an interesting game
may always be relied upon, and. last
Friday's exhibition was no exception
to the rule. Cargill scored one run in
the 1st innibgs, and until the seventh
innings, both teams played the pretti-
est kind of ball. For the second time
this year the 7th innings proved an
unlucky one for the local fans, but we
won't say what happened this time,
only that three of Cargill's players
crossed the home plate in that innings.
In the Ma 3 rung were scored, 1 by
thd visitors and 2 by the locals, the
game ending by a score of 5-2 in favor
of Cargill. T. J, McLean umpired the
game satisfactorily. Batteries :—Car-
gill—Anderson and Powers; Wing-
ham—Shea and Doyle. The score
was :—

Missed This.
The daily papers of Thursday last
centained the following news item :—
"A Denver & Rio Grande passen-
ger tealn, west -bound, was held up
near Palisade, Col., early to day.
Brakeman Shellenberger was seri-
ously wounded by a bullet from.
the gun of one of the two robbers,
and the conductor had his lantern
shot from his hand."
The editor of the Advance passed over
.this road just a few days before this
exciting event occurred, and hence
missed it. He endeavored to be as
observant as possible, but of course
could not take in every attraction, and
the sight recorded in the above para-
graph appears to have been "one of
the things we missed." Within a few
days after passing through the mining
section of Colorado, along the Denver
& Rio Grande, the awful conflict be-
tween the miners and the troops took
place, and the depot at Florence was
wrecked with dynamite. The Record
published at Victor, advised the min-
ers to declare the strike off and so end
the bloodshed. Eight armed men then
entered the office and smashed the
machinery,.
nearly 8,000 miles. He is pleased to
hear from so many, that the "Notes
of Travel" hey° been read with so
much interest, They will be continued
for several weeks yet. Most of all
does the editor appreciate the kind
words, the friendly call, and "Wel-
come back" that have come from so
many fellow townsmen irrespective of
political affiliations. This is a pleasing
characteristic of Wingliam citizens,
Fair Canada, land of the "Maple leaf,
our embleni dear," thou art fairer than
other lands, and as we set our feet
once more upon thy free soil, we are
reminded of the words of the poet
Scott :—
"Breathes there a man with Souls° dead,
Who never to himself bath said.
"This 15 187 Own, my native land I"
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned,
As home his footsteps Ile Wall turned,

A game of Baseball will be played
on the Wingham Town Park on Fri•
day, June 241h, between the home
team and the "Irish Nine" of Lucan.
The manager and officers solicit the
patronage of the citizens, especially as
Baseball games are more expensive
now than formerly, and unless the
gate receipts are sufficient to cover ex-
penses, home games must be few and
fax between. The game now announc-
ed is expected to be a first-class ex-
hibition of baseball, and probably the
last for some weeks. The Home
team would be greatly obliged, if the
spectators would not indulge in the
practice of "rooting," as it gives visi-
tors from other towns a had impression
of Wingham, and besides, it annoys
the players and prevents the best pos-
sible play. Give the boys a cheer
when they deserve it, but do not in -
dolga in that peculiar sound that re-
minds one of the grey. wolf. Let the
visiting team be as well treated by
those who witness the game, as we
would wish our own team to receive
from the spectators, when they go to
play in other towns. The golden
rule ought to work here with good re -
suite. Try it in any case.
War's Effects.
The Russo-Japanese War is one of
Ilia chief topics of conversation on the
American side. During the editor's
recent visit there, he found that the
sympathy of the Americans (generally
speaking) was with the Japanese,

and a stimulating factor in missionary

given by returned missionaries from

Presentation.
The Advance extends cordial wel-
come to Mr. and Mrs. F. Buchana,u
and family, who have lately removed
from Parkdale to Wingham, and re-
side on the corner of Shater and John
streets. Mr. Buchanan is no strenger
in Winghtma and is a Hrst-class citizen
and earnest church worker. We note
that prior to his leaving Parkdalez Mr.
Buchanan received mementos of the
high esteem in which he was held.
The regular meeting of Parkdale Coun-
cil No. 11, R. T. of T., was largely at-
tended by the membership and also
by members of the Order from differ -

Huron County Convention.

The annual coneerition of. Huron
county Sunday School and Christian
Endeavor Associations was held on
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week
ID Wingham Methodist church.
Tuesday afternoon and evening ses-
sions were devoted to Christian En-
deavor work, President A.. T. Cooper
of Clinton, presided, and the afternoon
session was opened with devotioual
exercises led by Rev. Dr. Gundy, and
began with the hymn "All hail the
power of Jesus name."
President Cooper then read a tele-
gram from Rev. A. Essler, President
of the Ontario C. E. Union, to the
effect that he had been taken ill and
undergone an operation, hence was
unable to be present. He sent kindly
geeetings and wished the delegates a
successful convention. It was re-
solved to telegraph Mr. Essler the
sympathy of the convention, and their
wishes for his speedy recovery.
Rev. J. H. Oliver then led in prayer
for Mr. Essler's recovery, and after
singing, the first paper on the program
, was ealled—"Christ's need of young
people," by Miss Elder of Blyth. Miss
Elder gave a most 'excellent address,
showing the condescension of the Mas-
ter in using human instrumentality,
and pointing out the reasons why he
needed the help of young people. She
clear] y answered the questions—
Where, When and How—young peo-
ple might render assistance, and clod
with an earnest appeal for faithful
consecrated service. The address was
well-prepared and contained many
excellent, practical points, that if fol-
lowed it cannot fail to be productive
of good. As those who were to take
the two following numbers on the
program, were absent, discussion of
Miss Elder's much -appreciated address
followed,
A second. topic --"Young people's
need of Christ" was to have been taken
by 0. Mustard, Brucefield ; in his ab
-
Bence it was discussed by the conven-
tion.
The Round Table Conference on
various topics of interest to Endeavor
workers brought out many practical
points. This was followed by the Pas-
tors' Conference.
The evening service opened with a
Song Service led by a Union Choir
from the Churches. Rev. W. Lowe
