The Vancover World points with
natural pride to the fact that while the

British Columbia actually produced
more gold last year. The figures are $18,^

Mr. Whitney rarely misses an oppor-
tunity to say something to make himself
ridiculous. He has just been telling a
newspaper reporter,that Mr. Ross' plain
duty is to resign. If Mr. Ross did so,
upon whom would Sir Oliver Mowat call
to form a Government ? Certainly not

majority may be, still the fact that he

The Hon, William MacDougall was on
one occasion elected in parliament by a
majority of one. When addressing the
electors after the returns were all in, a
Philistine in the crowd bawled out,
"What about your majority?" The
reply was short, sharp and decisive : "My
majority is all right; it is not large ,but it
is eminently respectable, and will serve
its turn." Cheers greeted the statement,
and Mr. MacDougall had the privilege of
sitting a full term in the house and doing
good work for his constituents.-Goder-
ich Signal.
That two of Wingbam's young busi-
ness men will soon join the racks of the
benedicts.
That the excursion to Sarnia and De-
troit on August 23rd should be welt
patronized.
That neat Tuesday is Wingham's
Civic Holiday and every place of busi-
ness should be closed.
That the Wingham races on August
13th and 14th will be the best in the his-
tory of the Wingham track.
That two public holidays in one week
are more than the average merchant or
business man cares to have.
That some enterprising citizen should
buy a few boats and have them for hire
on the north branch of the Maitland
river.
That the river on Victoria street walk
should be given auother course. We
have had enough mud and water on
this walk.
That the members of the present
town council merit the gratitude of the
citizens for the satisfactory disposition
of the iron works plant.
That the town park should be suit-
ably named. The town council will no

OR, HORSEY KILLED.
A FLY WHEEL BURSTS AND A
PIECE HITS HIM.
Accident in the Cement
Owen Sound.
Works at
Just after the noes went to press on
Wednsday evening of last week, word
was received in Wingham of the fatal
accident in the Sun Portland Cement
Works at Owen Sound, which resulted
in the death of Dr. E. H. Horsey, M. P.,
the principal stockholder and promoter
of the extensive enterprise. Dr. Horsey
was a sou -in-law of Dr. Mac-
donald, M. P. oft his town. Mrs.
Horsey was visiting at her father's
home in town and on receipt
of the sad message Mrs. Horsey, Mrs.
(Dr.) Macdonald, and Dr. J. R. Mac-
donald started to drive to Owen Sound.
About 6 o'clock Mr. William P. Tel-
ford, of Telford & Co., bankers, and one
of the directors of the Gement Company,
visited the mill, and Dr. Horsey conduct-
ed biro through the various departments.
At sit o'cloelt, when closing tune came,
the gentlemen were in the engine room,
in which, in addition to the powerful
engine of 650 horse power, there is an
accessory engine, which is ran when the
big engine is closed down, and, also to
operate various lighter -running sections
of the mill,
Dr. Horsey,had just given instructions
with regard to closing down the smaller
engine and starting up the larger, and
had turned to speak to Mr. Telford,
when the flywheel burst into a hundred
pieces, almost wrecking the building,
and throwing a large section out through
the roof nearly 100 yards distant.
The chief engineer and his assistant
were in the room, and, with Dr. Horsey
and Mr.Telford, were the sole occupants.

should, that when it Is necessary to
dilute strong tea it should be done. with
water at the boiling point. The poor
flavor of tea, made strong at first and
then reduced, such as is too often serv-
ed at receptions and "at homes," is
usually caused by the addition of hot,
not boiling, water to the first Infusion.
A. lesson in this matter may be bad

Rooms with low ceilings or with ceil-

susceptible of more perfect ventilation

Longevity of Irirlt, Pearants.
It is curious to notice the great num-

recorded in the official returns of Irish
rural districts. As an .instance of the
longevity of the Irish peasant it may
be pointed out that the death of per-

Toronto, July 2S. -At the Western
cattle yards to -day the receipts were 110
carloads of live stock, including 1,067
cattle, 1,674 sheep turd Iambs, 400 hogs,
I00 calves, and a dozen milch cows.
As far as cattle were concerned, the
market was a fairly good one. Business
was active, and prices generally steady.
Though cable advices show prices for
cattle in the Old Country to be a little
off, there was no perceptible change here
to -day: and good to choice export cattle
sold well at from 5, to 6;4o per Ib;
light shippers bought from 4ea to 5c.
per lb.
Among the receipts to -day was an un-
usual proportion of good cattle, and this
caused an apparent occasional advance
in prices, but values were really steady
and unchanged.
