EDITORIAL PA,RAURAPJIS. --The Liberal press takes a minute off from extolling the alleged prin., ciples of Liberalism to take a crack at the Government's move in the direc- t tion of control of ocean freight rates. P iF * w� — A large number of men for the Australian navy have been recruited in Great Britain. True Liberalism as we have had it in Canada must be unknown in Australia. —Sir Wilfred Laurier has been in Toronto doing some missionary work. After the Rowell disaster in North Grey the party probably needed the assistance of some distingnished ex- pert in political post-mortems. st..• • —The Borden Government is going .,tentave tine- increase in ocean freight rates reduced or justified. But there isn't going to be any help from the Laurier politicians who talk against the "big interests" and work for them. s * * —Liberal newepapers are circulating stories about the alleged ill -health of the Prime Minister. The fact is that Mr. Borden was never in better health, but why deny the Libs these little comforts ? * a r •: c —The continued and increased pros- perity of the Dominion might dis- courage the blue ruin prophets of office -hunting Liberalism, but mere facts never distu; b these gentlemen. They are independent of official re- turns, K ** — The promised big reduction in the public debt has taken place. You will now hear the Liberal editors shouting that the people are being over, taxed. Is there any way of satisfying a liber- al in Canada? Yee, office. x M — A huge quantity of ammunition manufactured at Quebec under the Laurier regime has been condemned as useless, Can it be that the stuff. was manufactured that way out of the same sort of consideration for the Empire's enemies as was displayed by the Navy Bill blockers? —United States Capitalists are pouring money into Canada for the employment of Canadian workmen. If they had got away with their little reciprocity trick, with the simple help of Laurier and Co., they would have used this money for the industrial development of their own country. * ,. —Hon. Mackenzie King is annoyed because Sie Ian Hamilton went to a Tory picnic and somebody pinned a badge on his coat with the words, "Borden and Our Empire." Mr. King needn't worry. It will he a long time before any good word for the Empire is found pinned upon his coat or his leader's. TRIP 'THROUGH EUROPE. t The Allingham Mvan&. the Central hall to bear Mr, Wiseman, who is president of the Conference. The hall is very large., but there were not a great many there, They say it will be crowded tonight, The eermon was on Simon the sorcerer and was very fine. In the afternoon some of us went to the Art gallery, which is very good, then this evening we went to the Oajhedral and heard a sermon on Oitiienship, an ordinary talk, but quite orthodox. the Crucifix, also a thodox. The service was a trifle hi golden cross, were carried every time the rector m ved. The suffragettes are meeting ere, and there were a good many church with their red, white and/ green sash, over their shouldere,and rosettes on their bate. Tomorrow morning we start again, so I must get to bed. We have been travelling since 7.30 and it is 1.30 now. We have been visiting the old historic spots till we arrived at Kil- larney yesterday evening and the first person I saw when we reached the hotel was R. R. Davis (brother of H. Davis). Killarney is lovely. It was raining a very little when we arrived, but we got on the wagonette and soon were able to put our umbrellas down and enjoy the drive of 15 miles out around the lakes. Some millionaire from America owns the pack you have to drive through. Our driver says they have been killing off the land- lords as fast as they could, but Eng- land kept sending them over others to take their places. We got out at Derris Cottage and walked around to see the "meeting of the waters" which is lovely. I picked some heather and flowers and bought some post cards. I think this is the loveliest spot yet, but it may have been the weather which helped quite a little. Killarney lakes are not at Killarney, so it is necessary to drive there. Earlier in the day we were at Blarney, where we had to drive to the castle. As the boat was late arriviug at Cork we had only time to drive there and back. Four of the girls ran ahead and climb- ed up and kissed the blarney stone, but the rest of us walked around the castle and examined the lower part. Last night we went out to see the town which is very small, one narrow street. Some of the stores stay open till 11 o'clock so we made for the Irish lace store. I think most of our party bought some. We are on the Irish sea now, cross- ing from Rosslare to Wisbguard. Thin is the finest boat I have seen, quite handsomely furnished. We,take the train to Bristol where we stay to- night. We leave again tomorrow about 10 30 to motor all day, staying in Bath tomorrow night at the most expensive hotel in the British Isles, so I will be able to tell you about it. It is the only Hot Spring Spa in the British Isles. Bristol, Friday 10.30 a.m.—We ar- rived here last night and are at the Royal Hotel, whichis lovely. Have just been out to see the old Parish Church, built in the 11 hundreds. This is the home of the Cal o's who discovered New Foundland, and there is a monument here to them. At 11 te m. we start by motor for Bath. Later—we started as arranged and have had the most beautiful day, going through the loveliest country. Our first stop was Cheddar and w. had to go through some most wench - fol passes, with the high n:ountelee of rock on either side. I never saw anything like it, then we went like the wind stopping at the caves which they say are more wonderful than those out in Colorado. We saw the skeleton of a pre•histi rte man, said to be 2000 yrs. before Adam. I can't. describe these caves on paper it would take too long but I will tell you about ',hem when I go home. We had our lunch here—bread and butter, rasp- berries, Devonshire cream, and tea, then got in the motor again and started 'for Wells, where there is a very large Cathedral. This is the second Cathedral built in England. From here we went on and arrived in Bath about 5 p.in. Bath is a very old city, dating back to the early Roman period. There are hot mineral ,springs here, the only ones in the Kingdom, It was so interested going through, as the baths were built by the Romans and have only been discovered during the last few years. The present city is 20 feet higber than the old city, and these baths are nearly perfect, even the old lead pipe over 2000 yrs, old, They let us in for half price and gave us a glass of water for nothing, To- day's trip watt a wonderful one, and you must see this part if any of you ever come over, This is a grand hotel, the finest or one of the finest in the Kingdom, and it is nice to have the evening quiet. Tomorrow morning we start by The following letter was written by Miss Peake, sister of Mr. Chas. N. • Peake, son-in-law of Mr. H. Davis of iib?., town, The lady is with Mr. Hughes'Yart.y. of Toronto teachers, who are touring Europe, and may be of interest to our readers :— We had alovely trip yesterday, coming down through the lake country and have been wondering whether it or the Grossachs is the more beautiful, and think the Gros- sachs are a little ahead, though, of course we saw that part while we were fresh and that may have given it the advantage. We arrived in Chester last night and put up at Three hotels. They have given up the Venice trip on the advice of Cooke, as it is not pleasant there at thie season, but they are still considering Holland. This morning we got up early and after breakfast went out to see the cathedral which is in use still. Then we walked partly around the wall, It. is 2 miles around and originally cur - rounded the old Roman city. We raw Bing Charles' Tower, the place where King Edward landed after being brought down on a barge, when he was proclaimed King. Saw the spot where the old mill used to stand on the "Sands of Dee," also the oldest house in England. Right along and parallel with an aim of the Irish Sea, are the famous Sands of Dee, and we saw them when the tide was nearly out. We are neve on the train going down into Wales, and expect to reach Birmingham and stay over Sunday. It looks a little cloudy just now but I hope it won't rain while we are on the coacher. We reached Oorwen after a train for London, hurrying there so as most beautiful coach through the to be able to accept an inaltation to a Snowden Mt. rising 0000 ft, In 41 garden party at Buckingham Palace, miles.

The regular meeting of the Wing - ham Town Council was held on Mon- day with all the members present and Mayor VanStone in the chair. Minutes of last regular and special meetings were read and approved. It was moved by Boyce and Mc- Kibben that the request of firemen be granted and the balance be granted— carried. Petition of Chas. Sutton for exten- sion of waterworks was received and on motion of Bell and Young was re- ferred to the Water Committee with power to act. On motion of McKibben and Spotton report of Finance Commsttee was read and adopted. A portion of land at the rear of the Town Hall was transferred by By-law No. 078 to his Majesty the;King for the purpose of an erection of an ar- mory, on motion of Bell and Isbister;, Moved by McKihbon and Bell that accounts of A. Sanderson and A. Young be referred to the proper com- mittees with power to act.—Carried. The Clerk gave information which he had received as to the cost of in- stalling sanitary drinking fountains on the main street. It was moved by Spotton, seconded by Mills, that four fountains he erected. One combina- tion fountain, for horses and people, at the park, and one at the corner of Josephine and Victoria, and two sani- tary drinking fountains for people, one at the Dominion Bank corner and one at Hamilton's drug store. It was moved in amendment by McKibbon and Young that the two combination fountains as mentioned in the motion be installed but just one drinking fountain and it to be erected at the Town Hall. The amendment carried. Councillor Boyce then reported as to information he had been able to gather during his visit to London and ended his remarks by handing in his resignation. It is needless to say that the Councillors were exceedingly sorry to receive same. Councillor Spotton in expressing his regret stated that as the father of the Council he had not been associated with anyone during his municipal career whose opinion on water sewerage and electric light systems, he valued more than that of Councillor Boyce, as Mr. Boyce had had many years special training along those lines. Coun. Spol ion moved, seconded by Coun. Mills, that owing to excellent services rendered by Councillor Boyce that this Council deeply regrets .his resignation end that same be laid over until next regular meeting. This was carried unanimously and Councillor Boyce was prevailed upon to return to his seat and conclude that meeting at least, and it is the sincere wish of all the Council that h'=•'dill fill out the term for wb'ch he was elected. Moved by I;bister and Young that Mr. Merl' •gton's application as in- spector of street pavement be accept- ed—cart icd.i Md by Boyce and McKibbon that raper:. of Fire and Water Committee be eelopted as read. 04 motion of Spotton and Mills the Council unanimously agreed that the holding of an Old Boys' Reunion early in August of next year would be a good thing for the town of Wingl;3m and tusked the Mayor to hold a meet- ing of the citizens at an early date to get their feeling on same. Meets With Accident. - The following has been taken from a Saskatoon paper and refers to Mr. Bart Elliott, formerly of Glenannan and who was recently mulled to Miss Dode Knetchel of Wingham. Mr. Elliott's many friends here will be ,lad to know that he escaped so for- tunately and hope for his speedy re- covery :—"Bert. Elliott, partner in the Elliott hardware business on the west side, had a miraculous escape from sustaining serious injuries in the Nine- teenth street subway yesterday morn- ing at 10 o'clock. Fortunately, Mr. Elliott escaped i e without a fractured limb. At the time of the accident Mr, Elliott was proceeding through the subway on his motor cycle at a moder- ate rate of speed. After rounding the curve in the subway Mr, Ellett noticed two city teams just under the bridge and thinking it possible to go between them did not bring his ma- chine to a standstill, Just before he went to go between the teams a man was in the centre of the trail shovel'. ing sweepings into one of the wagons, Mr, Elliott did not at first see this man till he was jnet about to go be- tween the teams and it was too late then to stop, the only alternative was to collide with the workmen'or one of the teams, The la. -•r course was de- cided upon with painful results to Mr. Elliott. The instant hie machine came in collision with ene of the city teams the jar threw him violently to the hard pavement, his shoulder and arm striking heavily against the stone work. Besides injuries to the arm, Mr, Elliott sustained a nasty gash over 0 one of the eyes whleh required seven far, not too Wean, and only a few stitches to eloee, The machine was bops of rain en you bee I am very badly damaged and it is doubtly it it lucky, This has been written at oaa will be pneeible to repair 11. Although miroaltbewhen 1 dcrici get a slananrte to _ badly shaken up and suttee ing from wtar bruihv *, Mr. 11221ro`tt was Normal Entrance Results. Last week the list of succeseful candidates at the recent Normal En- trance examination was issued, Wing - ham High School has kept up its splendid reputation and reports 17 successful candidates with 5 honours. The following are the names of those who passed : —George Cruikshank. (honours), James Currie (honoure), Victor Haines (honours), Earle Johns (honours), Eva Linklater (honours). Effie Bower, Fred Clubb, Olive Currie, Harry `Day, Lillian Edgar, Charlie Fowler, William. Haines, Hazel Moore, Margaret Paterson, Gordon Rintoul, Ethel Tipling, Arthur Wilson. The name of Mina Currie through an oversight was omitted from the list of succeseful Normal School students which was published in the Winghams papers. Eight students of Wingham High School attended the Normal Schools and all were success- ful. Paralytic Stroke. We deeply regret to aunounce that on Friday morning, Aug. 1st, Mrs. M. Bell, mother of Corm. D, Bell, was stricken with paralysis. Last reports say that she is improving, but at her advanced age a complete recovery can scarcely be hoped for. Mrs. Bell has the sympathy of the community in her affliction. Baden-Powell Boy Scouts. - The "Lord Charles Beresford's Own Canadian" let Wingham Troop of Boy Scouts, intend to go for a three days camp in the country from August 30th to September lst. All members wish- ing to go to camp must hand in their names to the Scout Master not later than Tuesday Aug. leash. It is hoped the whole troop will go, as a really good time is expected. There will be meetings twice a week in future, on Wednesdays and Fridays, at 7.30 p.m. starting tonight, Wed., Aug. 6th. Social Boy. Little Ale. Walker, aged two and a half years, accompanied his mother, Mrs. E. B. Walker and some other ladies from the Kincardine beach to uptown to do some shopping. While his mother was in a store, Alex. thought he would take a look about the town to see how it compared with Wingham. About an hour later he was found about a half mile distant in a house and was enjoying bis dinner with his new made friends, Hugh Clark M. P. suggested to the father that he make a politician of his son. Saved Young Lady - Oa Sunday afternoon a young lady whose name could nut be obtained, who comes from Wingham, and who was spending a few days at the cottage of a Wingham family went in bathing. She was accompanied by two other lady friends. The waves were running pretty high and the young woman was carried off her feet. The result was she screamed and a traveller, Mr. S. J. Myers, of New York, who was enjoying a stroll on the beach ran to her assistance, plunging into the water with his clothes on. Mr. Myers asked the other young ladies if there was any place convenient that he might get dried. Imagine his disgust when they gave him the laugh. The young woman may not have been in danger in the opinion of her companions, but her call for help was gallantly respond- ed to and he was assisted out of the water. Mr. Myers went into the Power House and Mr. A. Iogram pro- vided him with some clothing while a friend went to the Royal Hotel and brought him down a change of linen.

This promisee to be real good and everybody is cordially in- vited to attend. The services in St. Paul's Church on Sunday last were conducted by the Rev. Rural Dean Doherty of Hensall. The sermons were Interesting and in- structive. and the services bright, and well attended. Holy Communion was administered at the morning service. Last Sunday morning the Sacra- ment service was very largely attend- ed in the Methodist Church and 21 new members were received. The pastor, Rev, Hibbert, chose as his text, John 15 t 13 --"Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends." fie also preached an excellent sermon in the evening, `CVINWIAM MARKETS.

Many men and women occupying foremost positions in Canada and U. S. were compelled to study in spare hours. Thousands of young people are making their home a college and using the chips of time to prepare for greater things by means of the Spotton Correspondence Schools. Business Change. The firm of John Kerr and son has disposed of their business to Mr. Jos. Irwin, who is now in possession. Mr. Irwin comes highly recoininended and iuvites all old patrons and many new ones to visit his store. We have not yet learned Mr, 1lrerr's intentions but trust that Wingham will not lose such a good citizen. Old Boys' Re -union. On motion of Spotton and Mille the Town Council unanimously agreed that a re -union should be held early next August, and His Worship Mayor _ VanStone will at an early date call a meeting of the citizens to discuss same. All towns and cities feel this to be a good thing and Wingham should get in line. Sunday School Excursion. Friday last was an ideal day for an outing at the lake and fully 3000 people took advantage of the annual excursion to Kincardine, which is held under the auspices of the various Sunday Schools of Wingham, the ex- cursion train starting at Mitchell. About 1300 tickets were sold at Wing - ham, and in all 2200 tickets were sold along the line. The management committee regret very much that lack of railway accommodation neces- sitated the people at Whitechurch, Lucknow and Ripley to wait until a third train could be secured them, and promise better accommodation next year. The Wingham band supplied music throughout the day. Death Of Thos. E. Durnin. It is our sad duty to report We week the death of Mr. Thos. E. Dur- nin, who passed away on Saturday, July 26cb, at bis home in Dungannon, after a -week's illness, at the age of 56 years. The deceased was a stalwart Conservative, ono of the License Com- missioners of North Huron, Director of the Goderich Rural Telephone Co.; and for fourteen years was Secretary - Treasurer of the Dungannon Public School. He was generous in his gifts to the churches of the village and took an active part in supporting the Public Library. He was an unflinch- ing enemy of sham, strong in his con- viction%, ready to help, kind to the. unfortunate, and has left a host of friends. On Wednesday afternoon very impressive funeral services were conducted by Rev. 0, M. Rutherford of Pine River, assisted by Revs. Gomm and Hunter. The floral tributes were many and bore evidence of the high degree of respect and esteem in which the departed was held. The pallbearers were six brothers of the deceased. The funeral was the largest ever witnessed in that section. Shabby Treatment. The Wingham Sunday School As- sociation held their excursion to Kin- cardine on Friday, let inst., which was a magnificent success in so far as the numbers were concerned. The feeling of indignation on the part of the Committee was very apparent with regard to the shabby treat- ment of the Grand Trunk Rail• way. Indeed, so far did this feeling go that one of the members of the Committee telt called upon to explain the circumstances to a very large audience, whereupon the audience showed their disapproval of the treat- ment of the Railway by an outburst of groans. It seems that this Com- mittee, composed of business men, has to sign a guarantee of over two hun- dred dollars for the Railway. They asked for and werep romised two trains of 12 coaches each. Instead of that they sent the let train with only 7 coaches and the next one with 8, which necessitated running the one train back, taking up the passengers who had waited from about 8 35 to 11 o'clock before they were picked up, thus reaching Kincardine some 2 hours behind time, Then in the evening to add to the annoyance, it seemed impossible to have the baggage car properly placed at the disposal of the Committee. Again they had to send one train back from Wingham to Kincardine where the people were waiting in suspense, not knowing what time their train would leave, which did not leave Kincardine until nearly 11 p,m. A meeting of the Committee is to be held at an early date to ex- press their indignation at the 'treat- ment, which they feel is not in any sense justifiable in as much as they have year after year gone to a great deal of trouble and expense la making this excursion popular. 1f we can read between the lines, we fancy that the Grand Trunk will feel it in many ways as one prominent manufacturer +vas heard to remark, "1t will ccrtaln- ly make a dif erenoe in oar shipments', as this is not the only road running out of Wim."—f Qr i tr, Personals Mr, Cyrus Basset of Listowel spent the week end in town.
