A verysudden dd rt death occurred in Clinton on Monday, when Bessie, daughter of D, A. Forrester, died from the effects of carbolic acid. She rose early in the morning to pursue her studies, and, not feeling very well, took what she thought was a dose of pain killer, but which proved to be carbolic acid. When her father got up shortly after he found her unconscious on the sofa, with her books open be- side her, evidently anxious tore are P P for her examination to come off next week.

From the reports to the Advance, Whitechurch Creamery Co. is in the midst of a very prosperous season. The waggons collecting the cream re- turn with full loads, and the company find it impossible to accommodate all who would be their patrons, for the factory is running now up to its full capacity, One day last week, Mx', Sperling, the successful butter -maker for the company, made and put into cold storage 2,070 pounds of butter. This is certainly a heavy day's work. The fine pasture available so far this season is the chief cause of the plenti- ful supply of cream, and we under- stand the Co. find no difficulty in obtaining a ready market for the pro- duct of the factory. The Advance wishes the Co, a prosperous season throughout. A Pioneer Gone.

Zt) No. $ , 83f '.PHXJ nDxS['Q Before describing the scenes of our return trip from the "land of fruit and flowers," we may mention a few other facts relating to Pasadena and vicinity. Our readers will pardon a brief per- sonal reference. The central point of the pleasure enjoyed by the writer was the visit to his second eldest son, who has succeeded in building up the largest business in Pasadena in the watchmaking and jewellery lines. Ills Optical department is one of the finest in the State and has a large patronage, We were delighted to find our boy en- joying the confidence and esteem of his fellow -citizens to such an extent as to be elected President of the Mer- chants' Association, a very important position, indeed, in a city like Pasa- dena, No visitor to California should miss, a drive down Orange Grove Avenue, Pasadena. This avenue is two or three miles long, and is Pasadena's aristocratic section exclusively, the home of many millionaires and every- thing is in evidence of that fact. No ordinary residence may be erected here. No electric cars may disturb the quiet of this fashionable residen- tial section with their network of wires and buzz of rapid motion. Real estate here (if for sale at all) commands fabulous prices, and the residences are all palaces of beauty. The avenue is verywide is beauti tlly paved and kept scrupulously clean. The boule- vards bettvicen the cemented streets and the broad and almost spotlessly - clean sidewalks, are adorned with the fan and date palms, or banks of flow- ers, or else over the passerby, there wave the pepper, the camphor, the (" Notes of Travel" c acacia and umbrella trees, while the lawns are beauty -spots like the fairy gardens we read of, ,No two residen- ces are exactly alike ; for the wealthy residents of Pasadena appear to have as much objection to having a resi- dence just like some other home, as a lady has to having a hat trimmed ex- actly like the one Mrs. Somebody else wears. One mansion, now being com- pleted, will cost $27,000 for the inside finiah alone, and the whole building will not cost less than $100,000 ; these are the figures given by the contrac- tors, One of the most beautiful man- sions on this avenue belongs to a gen- tleman, who for the past five years has lived in Europe. It is furnished lux- uriously, and the grounds, trees, flow- ers, etc., aro kept in as perfect condi- tion as if the millionaire and his family enjoyed them daily. Tourists are anxious, if possible to get a glimpse of these beautiful lawns, with their hand- some palms, and the gardens, which form a veritable conservatory of floral beauty.. California lies in the same Iatitudes as Spain, Italy and Palestine, and the products of these countries find a con- genial home in California. The Sierra Nevada mountains form the natural eastern boundary of the State. Then there is the Coast range ; on the north these parallel ranges are connected with the Siskiyou range, and south of the San Jongnin valley, the Tehachapi ritonntains form the connecting link dividing the State into Northern and Southern California. In a previous letter, we referred to the fertility of California. Consider- ing that so much of the State is cov- ontinued on Page 5,) Well Patronized. The excursion to the Model Farm on Mouday was largely patronized, a large number taking advantage of the cheap trip, One hundred and thirty- four tickets were sold at Wingham station, and the other stations along the line furnished their quota. Championship Game. Kincardine and Wingham Lacrosse teams play for the championship of District No. 4, on Wingham park on Thursday (to -day); ball faced at 015. As both teams desire to win, the game will be hotly contested and fast play may be expected. Admission 15 cts.; ladies 10 cts. Bowling. On Thursday last Brussels and Wingham Bowlers tested their skill on the lawn of the Wingham Bowling Club. The rink skipped by Dudley Holmes of Wingham played against One from Brussels skipped by H. James and Ieft the visitors victors by six shots. The other rink from Brussels, skipped by D. Ross, went down to de- feat before the Wingham rink headed by D. T. Hepburn, on a majority of 14 shots. This left Winghatn victorious ; by 8 shots. The players report a good time. Deceased. On Thursday last, Mr. 3. J. (leathers passed the bounds of time after ap•ili- i ness of over four months. Deceased was a brother of Mrs. H, Ball and I shortly after coming to visit her about five months ago, he was taken ill. He was 00 years of age, and was never married. He was a member of Utica Methodist Church, township of Reach. Service was conducted at Mr. II. Ball's on Thursday • evening by Rev, Dr. Gundy, and the remains taken to his former borne for interment. Dir. J. Bali of Winghatn, and Mrs. Eck, sister of deceased, accompanied the remains to the place of burial. Students wanting to make from $2 to $5 per day, canvassing, at home, apply, stating age, for full particulars to S. A., Box 35, Fordwich, Ont. • Friday, June 24th. To -morrow (Friday) the local Base- ball team play the "Irish Nine" of Lncan, on Wingham Town park. The citizens should give the boys a good sum of gate -money, as the ex- penses incurred in bringing the. It•ish Nine here are heavy, We tenet also that the request of the Manager and teats will be complied with, and that the visiting learn will be treated by the spectators with every courtesy. Give both teams fair play, and let the game begin, proceed and end in every way creditable to our fair town. Only a very few are otherwise disposed, and if such appear upon the scene and persist in annoying the players, they should be taken care of, by some per- son who knows better. New Post Office. The Advance is pieasetl to hear that the contract has been let for the ewe - tion of Wingham's new postofti.ct', The snceessfnl tenderer is 8, Coopor, Of Clhtton, and ilre contract price, $15,500. Since it is the cu.tont for growing towns to receive grants by, way of public buildings, tVingheen has as much tight to an expenditure of this kind as some other towns we could name, and no doubt the new building will be an ornament to our town. Of course, we would have pre. ferred seeing the contract go to a Wiogbarn Mtn, but a Wingham eon - tractor, Mr, Wm. Nicholson, has the oversight thereof, and as he is a prat• tical mekttanie, and good builder, ,he will no doubt See that the work is well done, It is expected that work will begin at once, and the building will be erected and roofed before next win. ter'e snow falls, HURON COUNTY CONVENTION. _—w (Continued from last week.) Wednesday afternoon, the work of Huron Oounty Sunday School Union was continued. After a service of song, Rev. J. N. McLean conducted devotional exer- cises, A number of committees reported and the election of officers followed. The officers elected were :— President --A. Cosens, Wingham ; Vice. President—D. A. Munro, Auburn; Sec.-Treas.—J. 0. Stoneman, Hensall ; Cor.-Sec.—Jaynes Mitchell, Goderich. A strong .Executive committee of twelve was also elected. Mrs. J. A. Jackson of Toronto, con- ducted a class showing her system of Primary class teaching. Mr. Jackson also gave an address. The Round Table Conference on Sunday School Management elicited an interchange of opinion that will prove helpful. Rev. J. Oliver, who spoke with such acceptance the previous evening, also gave an address, which was much ap- preciated. In the evening, after a service of song was led by J. A. Morton, Rev. D. Perrie conducted the devotional exer- cises. President Munro had been called' home early in the day, and in his place, Dr. Towler, the Clorresponding- klecretary, introduced the President elect, Mr. A. Cosens, who presided. Rev. J. H. Oliver's return home be- fore the evening service necessitated a change in the program. Rev. J. Philp of Kincardine kindly stepped into the vacancy 'uu.l gave an address on "Bible Study." Rev. F. II. Larkin, B. A, of Sea- foith, then delivered a thoughtful ad- dress on "The Relation between the Parent and the School." Miss Griffin and Mr. F. Hill each gave well -rendered vocal selections during the evening. Young Life Ended. The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Brandon of Morris is ander the shadow of bereavement caused by the death of their son Clark Mills. It ap- pears that one day last week, the boy stepped on a piece of glass, cutting one of his feet. Blood -poisoning set in, and on Monday morning, the young life was ended. The funeral took place on Tuesday to the Brandon cemetery. How soon, sometitnes, is the home scene changes, when death steps across the threshold. THE PUBLIC DEBT. Again, the Clinton New Era is moved to pay its tribute of respect to the Advance, and having thoroughly oiled all the bearings of its editorial machine, gives out the following : We arc sura that the editor of the Wing. ' ham Advance will be pleased to know that the Dominion Government has reduced the public debt over ono million dolla:at leas than it was when they took wilco. It will also bo glad to know that the debt per head of tho population is to•day $i less than it was when the Conservatives were in pow- er. Also, that the work of deepening canals, erecting public bulidines and con. dieting lite Villa' s of the Dominien ;;ener- ally, have all been provided for without adding one cent to the public debt, The Advance is pleased to kunw that in the world-wide prosperity now be- ing enjoyed, Canada is sharing in common with other countries. Wo are disposed to attribute this pros. polity more to the beneficence of a Divine Providence, than to the actions of teen who violated every solemn pledge they trade before they accepted office. history is full of examples of the actions of even bad then being overrated by a higher Power and made tr, meat,s of bringing some good to humanity, and perhaps in this case, history repeats itself, While it is pleasing to know that the debt has been reduced by $1,081,003, it is dis- appointing to know that so little has been done in tltttt direction itt a time of piospetity, when the Finance Minis- ter boasts of surpluses amounting to $57,880,001, That only a little over a million has been applied to debt re. ductiou out of over fifty-seven tniltinns of "surplus" is by no means brilliant financing, neither is it rause for boast- ing.
