GREAT WAVE

At Wellington Throws 1.1
Hundreds of Fish,
Pieta'', May 26.-A gigantic wave, the
like of which was not previously re-
membered, tumbled over the beach at
Wellington Saturday -morning, and did
some damage to summer resort prop-
erty, as well as producing a freak of
nature. The great wave was so violent
that it rolled inwards four to five feet
'beyond the veiy limit of anything that
halt been known along tile Lake On-
tario shore front of the well-known re-
eort of Wellington. When it rolled, oot
again it had left hundreds of fish, many
even white fish, stranded high and, dry
on the main shore.
They wiggled and danced until they
breathed no longer, just as "fish out
of water" might be expeeted to do. Wel-
lington folk are accustomed to freaks of
Lake Ontario, but Saturday's wove was
the biggeet upheaval known. ft is felt
that it was a marine upheaval akin to a
tidal wave. Slight damage was done to
the Alexaptha Hotel pavilion on the
shore and some summer cottages. fane

Jeans ever eought his instructions

see the eantrast betweeo the false and
true in matters, of religion, and thus to
lead. them to the higher life and. to his
standing of truie piety. The first radical
pervieion of religious life, set forth here,
consieted in the desire to appear relig-
ious before men. The tiractiee of alms-
giving was commendable and belonged

the law as touching; man's duty to man.
It was a deed. of justice as well as of
mercy. The best works become sin if
done only foe the sake of appearance.
The Phariseee performed these religious
duties in a lood, ostentatious and un-
profitable manner, in comparison they

they mocked; to the latter, a reward,

eombinatioe. This received a large
portien of the tete President's beet
thought as well act Mr. Chamberlin's
undivided attention fee the past three
and a half years. in future it will
become an increasingly important fac-
tor in the administration of the two
roads.
A. successor to Mr. Chamberlin as
General Manager of the Grand Trunk
Paellie will shortly be appointed,
an interview, . Chamberlin. *said.
"In a few days I will be able to give
the matter some consideration, lint
for the present have no person in
mind. I will personally tteett a elm
overeight over the, progrete 0: the road,
as I have been SO closely assoeiated
with it for the past few years."
When aeked what line of general
poliey would be pursued he said: "I
will try to follow the general lines
pursued by the late Mr. Hays, both for
the Grand Trunk and the Grand
Trunk Pacific, but it is too soon yet
to say much about the work.
As a general matter of policy, Mr.
Chamberlin said that before all also
the Grand. Trunk Paeifie must be
pushed to completion' at as early a
date as possible, and all the heat
energies of the organization must be
utiliged- to that end.
"This is not only highly desirable
from the company'e point of view,"
he said, "but also from the country's
point of view. The western country's
point, of view . The western country
is developing at a tremendously rapid
rate, and already tbe existing rail-
ways are unable to property imitate
the business. The Grand Trunk Pa-
cific is already an imperative neces-
sity to the country, and we have got
to get it running throughout its
whole length as speedily as possible."
Asked how soon he expected trains
would be mooing from. Montreal to
nine° Rupert, Mr. Chamberlin said
he believed this would. be done in
1913, but it would not WI till late in
the year.
"Everything d.epends on the labor
queigion," he said. "If, as we hope,
we get an adequate supply of labor
irom now on, we shall get the line
through to the coast next year all
right. But I may . tell you frankly
that labor, especially in British Col-
umbia, is in a great state of unrest,
and it is difficult to say what will
happen; but at any rate we have
strong hope that by the. time navi-
gation closes this year we shall be
able to ship grain from western Can-
ada through to Montreal, via Coeh-
eane, on the Ontario Government
railWay, and the old Cateada Atlantic
line, which latter now belongs to lie.
The contractors on the Trauscontinen-
lta Railway are hoping to get the
line finished from Winnipeg. junction
to Coehrane, and if they succeed, then
trains will be able to run over our
own route from Montreal as far as
the Rockies.
Since his appointment as President
Ain ChaMberlin 11£LS been in confer-
ence with Chairman &flattens, who
expects to leave at the end of the
present week for England.
WHO SUCCEEDS CHAMBERLIN?
Winnipee,e May 25.-Announcemen1 of
the appointment of E, J. Chamberlin to
be President of the Grand Trunk Rail-
way has ereated a lot of speculation in
local railway cireles as to who is to
succeed him as General Manager of the
Grand Trunk Pacific, In this connection
the name of George W. Caye, who has
acted. as assistant to Mr, Chamberlin
in the management of the western lines;
inoet mentioned. Loral officials of the
Grand Trunk Pacific refuse- to make

"Is Prevention Better Than Cure?"

which some pertiment questions were
asked. "Is it better to draw the sevalnn

organization.
A woman's platform, Provincial and

Toronto. local council, outlining changes
that it was felt eltotild be made in sev-
eral laws.
It was brought out in the same report
that orie of the local councils during
the past year gave a course of lectures
on points, of law of interest to women;
another had the public schools of the
town. opened in the evening for amuse -
merits for thoee who might otherwise
seek reereation in less wholesome ways;
another has found employment for edu-
cated women coming from Great Britain.
Some councils were active in securing
the election of women on school boards,
one phteed in every home in the town
a book 011 the cause and prevention of
consumption; another is working to se-
enre a hospital wbich ie much needed. in
the town, and still another is establish-

There seems to be nothing of interest
to women upon which the council does
not touch. A request was sent in ask-
ing Mit their resolution against the
wearing of aigrettes% and the endeavor
to preserve bird life be reaffirmed.
A letter from Mee. R. L. Borden was
'read, accepting a vice-presidency in the

NEW G. T. R. LINE
Rumor of One Between Lon-
don and Port Stanley.
A Grahd Trunk Railway line running
between London and Port Stanley, and
passing through St. Thomas, is rumored
in transportation circles in that distriet.
It is claimed that the road could be
having gone carefully over the whole
situation, have reported in favor of the
bnilding of the line. The major portion
of the Grand Trunk's supply of soft coal,
it is pointed out, is taken to London
over the London and; Port Stanley
Railway, and this short cut route would
answer its purposes much better than
bringing the coal in over the present
NM% via Buffalo. Another factor is the
connection between the two chief eitres
of 'Western Ontario, London and St.
Thoinas, and between the two mein lines
of the Grand Think running through
Western Ontario, Niagara Falls and Buf-
fah), and .-larnia and Detroit. The only
connection between these two lines ie
at Kiogscourt and Glencoe, and by the
Buffalo and Coderich line.
The eompany, says this report, has
already surveyed a portiem of the pro.
poeed route and their engineers, after
built for $500,000, and that it would
give to the G. T. R. a valuable eonnee-
tiou with the lake port as well as Recess
