Words Of Praise,
In reporting a concert in St, An-
drew's Church, London, the Free
Press speaks thus of Miss Laura
Hamuth of \Vingham :e -"Miss Laura
Homuth, a young soprano of great
promise, sang with excellent effect,
"Come Unto Me," by Coenen, and
"The Gate of Heaven," by Tours.
Her voice is sweet and clear and of
good carrying quality. Her voice is
sympathetic, her power of delivery
remarkable, and her taste really
exquisite. Miss Homuth's voice is
full and. rich, and her interpretive
powers remarkably dramatic."
Cabinet Changes.
Sir William Mulock, until recently
Postmaster -General in the Laurier
Cabinet, has retired and been appoint-
ed Chief Justice of the Exchequer Di-
vision of the High Court. Mr. A. B.
Aylosworth, of Toronto, has been
sworn in as Postmaster -General, but
it is said that he will only hold this
office temporarily, and that on the
retirement of Mr. Fitzpatrick, he will
take his portfolio, that of Minister of
Justice. Mr. Aylesworth's legal train-
ing and experience should make him
an efficient member of the Cabinet in
that position, Thele is an opinion
abroad, that Sir Wilfrid Laurier will
soon retire, and t
tMr. Fielding ellin will
take the Preiniev's place, but this is
not yet definite. The rumored retire-
ment of several members of the
Cabinet so soon after the passing of
the Act granting theist pensions for
life, equal to half the amount of their
annual salaries, Looks as if they had
provided comfortably -cushioned seats
for themselves, just in time.
Jas: Halliday of Cbesley has been
appointed to buy cattle to supply the
asylums and other publle buildings of
the province with beef, at a salary of
$2000 a year. He is well qualified,
having been an extensive dealer in

Waterworks Improvements.
W. H. Green has a ntunber of ;nen
at work at the cement flume for the
waterworks extension, The excava-
tion was a tedious, difficult piece of
work. The cement work was begun
on Tuesday and will be energetically

Hunter Bridge & Boiler Co. are, we
understand, at work on the steel
standpipe but none of the sections
have reached Wingham yet, although
the foundation is ready for the super-
structure.
Died in Kincardine.
Mr. A. E. Isard, of Kincardine, who
died recently, was an uncle of Mr. and
Miss Isard of Wingham. He was born
in England 68 years ago, and came to
Canada when 16 years of age. He
worked on the old Great Western
Railway, and later kept a grocery
near Exeter. In 1861 he moved to
Kincardine. He was married to Eliza-
beth Avery, who with seven children
survive, viz., Mrs. A. Nash and Mrs.
Luras, Sarnia ; Mrs. Trickey, Detroit;
Mrs. Myers, Hanover, and Mrs. Harry
Anning, Kincardine ; Samuel of Stt-
P
eI'laT' and Bert., Kincardine. b 1r.
Isard was a staunch and loyal English-
man, who adhered firmly to his princi-
ples which were uniformly sound. His
death means the removal of another
pioneer. Mr. and Miss Isard of town
attended the funeral.

An Alarm Indeed.
Mrs. Corbould and family, who are
still residing in the Bank of Hamilton,
were very much frightened on Tues-
day night. Sometime between twelve
and one o'clock, the burglar alarm in
the Bank vault, began ringing. Mrs.
Corbould, in great alarm, went to the
window and shouted for "Help." C.
J. Maguire responded quickly and was
soon joined by Mr. Roe and some tra-
vellers from the Queen's hotel, each
armed with a revolver. In the mean-
time, the alarm kept ringing inside.
The Teller was summoned and found
everything all right. By some means,
the alarm had gone off of its own ac-
cord, but it caused considerable excite-
ment for a. while.
Change 01 Time.
There has been a slight change of
time in the arrival and departure of
0. P. R. trains from this station. The
morning train leaves at 0.55 a.m.; the
afternoon train east, leaves at 3.36.
The first train from Toronto reaches
here et 1.33, and the late train at
10.53. Next summer, the C, P. R. in-
tends putting on a service that will
lessen the time between \Vinghatn
and Toronto by at least half an hour.
They already give an excellent ser-
vice and most comfortable cars. We
understand that the line from Colling-
wood' to Markdale or 1+ Iesherton has
been decided on. The building of 12
r
!
miles then from Wingham to Blyth
and the completion of the Gnelph-
Goderich line would give C. R. P. con-
nection from Collingwood to Linde -
rich. A number of other lines are
contemplated and surveyed. The
building of the Grand Trunk Pacific
has necessitated a more thorough
covering of Ontario to secure traffic,
and the 0. P. R. construction depart-
ment is likely to bo busy for the next
few years. If all the contemplated
roads and branches are built, Ontario
will soon be it net work of railways.

"Two hundred miles south of London
the autumn flowers sensitive to frost
are still in frill bloom, Weather pro-
phets thereabouts with reputations
for forecasting correctly the character
of the approaching winter, have lin-
gering doubts as yet, while one pro-
gnosticator predicts "the pleasantest
weather of the year from Nov. 1 to
Nov. 14. Old fishermen of the Lake
Superior region, noted for the cor-
rectness of their diagnoses, are san-
guine of "open water" the coming
winter. The Grand Marais Herald, of
Cook Co., Minn. says : "An old-tirner
predicts that we will have a very
short season of close navigation this
winter, and that the boats may not
have to stop running along the north
shore. Owing to the extreme heat of
s water
the past summer, he says, y , the v
in Lake Superior is warmer than it
has been in years before, and it can-
not freeze over very early, if at all."
