MOM{ tca AND Poccurmea THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1905. NOTES AND tt.:O11,M2NTS. Changes in the Dominion Cabinet may be looked for about September 1st. They are said to involve the retirement of Mr. Fitzpatrick, Sir Richard Cart- wright and iL`r Scott. The ordinary revenue of the Province for the first six months of 1905 is $470,- 000 in excess of the same period last year, according to the statement made by Hon. Mr. Matheson, Provincial Treasurer. The excess is chiefly in suc- cession duties and crown laud dues. A despatch has been received from the Imperial authories stating that they will hand over the care of the defences at Halifax to the Canadian Government on September lst next. Previous to this date all the British regulars will be with- drawn. The withdrawal of the British troops from Eequitnalt will not take place until next year, us the Impe;iil authorities have given the Dominion until July lst, 1936, to prepare to assume the care and control of the Esquimalt defences. Since Dominion Day last year the five survivors of the Quebec Confederation conference have been reduced to Soar by the death of Hon. William McDougall. Those still remaining are Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Hector Langevin, Senator A. A. McDonald of Prince Edward Is- land, and Sir Ambrose Shea of New. foundlaud. These are all old men. Sir Ambrose Shea is 87, Sir Charles Topper was 84 last week, Sir Hector Langevin is 79, and Senator McDonald 76. With yesterday's prorogation the se- cond longest session of the Canadian Parliament on record will be brought to a close. The session lasted for six months and eleven days, the actual number of days devoted to business be- ing 128. The longeat session was that of 1903, which lasted over seven months and witnessed the launching of the se- coud great Transcontinental Railway. The session just closed was quite equal in .importance to that of two years ago, seeing that it called into existence the two new Provinces of Alberta and Sas- katchewan, which are destined to play no unimportant part in the future his- tory of Canada Government resolutions introduced Monday providing for an increase of from $1,500 to $2,500 in the sessional indemnity of Senators and members of Parliament; an increase to $12,000 in the Premier's salary; an allowance of $7,000 per year for the recognized leader of the Opposition ; a retiring allowance for ex -Cabinet Ministers, and an increase in the scale of judicial salaries. Provision is also made for ex - Cabinet Ministers to receive an allow- ance of one•half the salary of the posi- tion they at one time held. The whole business is a grab and the TIMES is not in favor of any of the increases. If the members would get down to business and shorten the session, the $1,500 was ample for all the service that is rendered to the country. The increase goes into effect for the session just now ended. Just think of it! An additional $300,000—or nearly so—each year for the fellows who put in a few months at Ottawa in the interest of their constituents and the country at large. but later events go to show more particularly in the interests of their own pockets. Isn't it surprising with what apparent ease men who condemn extravagance in other forms can sit and vote public money into their own private purses without the slighest compunction? And the one party is equally guilty with the other in this respect. .vers Bald? Scalp shiny and thin? Then it's probably too late. You neglected dandruff.

Though sharing with many of our old nobility their traditional reluctance to emerge from aristocratic privacy nue come before the public as the subject ot a newspaper nrticle, the Right Hou. Lady Haldou bas expressly permitted the publication of a statement recently made to it representative of the Star re- garding her wonderful cure by Dr. Wil - limns' Pink. Pills. Recognizing that the words of a titled lady iu her position must necessarily bear great weight with the public; real- izing that in respect to the ailments of the body, prince and peasant, lord and htborer are alike; earnestly desiring that the benefit she had derived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be publicly acknowledged, in the hope that other sufferers might be influenced by her tes- timony, Lady Haldon waived all person- al reluctance and told a story which can- not bat impress every reader who con- siders for a moment the serious reasons whioh must have prompted a member of the British peerage to come forward in this way. Lady Haldon's opening words em- phasize the lofty motive with which she granted the interview. "Fur the sake ot all sufferers," said her ladyship, "I want to tell you what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People did for me when I had given up all hope, even though, as was natural in my posi- tiou, I had the bast available profession- al treatment. LADY HALDON. "I have been a great traveller. Five years ago, when I was residing in Aus- tralia, my heart became seriously fleet - ea. Symptoms of advanced anaemia v showed .d themsel es. One of a results was the most acute iudige on you can imagine. I suffered seve ly iu the back and under the shoulder ades; but there were present in an ag r avated form all the symptoms of ind• estion, including an especially s ver oppression of the chest. I was as careful in my choice of food, but di g brought no relief. Even after a glass of water my discom- fiture was almost unbearable. Food of any kind caused me such misery that I grew to have a strong aversion to it. I ate less and less, till I was practically starving myself. I could hardly get about, for in attempting to walk even the shortest distance the dreadful palpi- tation of the heart would make me feel as though I were suffocating. "As the anaemia developed, I grew still more alarmingly ill. I could not sleep at night. My whole system was deranged. My nerves broke down; my head ached constantly until I could only read by the aid. of glasses." "Such suffering must have interfered with your enjoyment of life, Lady Hal - don?" "It did, indeed, and it also took all the pleasure out of travel. When I was in Russia I really thought I was dying. I was ready to do anything or go any- where to seek relief and release from anxiety. I had the advantage of the treatment of many leading physicians. My illness seemed so deeply rooted that I determined to go to Switzerland for a course of treatment at the Clinique de la Caroline, where I was, for a time as- siduously attended by physicians of European reputation. "To attempt to enumerate the medical men who have prescribed for me at various times, unfortunately without any lasting success, would indeed be a lengthy task, and outside the object of this interview. Snffice it is to say that about Angnst, 1903, after my return from Australia, I was nearly prostrate with one of my attacks. I was travel- ling by train but felt too ill to read, nn - til, casually picking np a small pamphlet referring to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I became so interested in some cures mentioned therein that I de- termined to give a trial to the medicine which appeared to have effected such miracles. "What arrested my attention was the straightforward simplicity of the stories, We are all human—all liable to the same complaints—and I found my sufferings were exactly like those of other women who had been cared. As I read the simple facts of their experience, I be- came convinced. I procured a supply of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and commenced taking them as directed. "Within a few weeks I was astonished at the change that had already taken 1 Rough t place, and the great improvement that . Light Light stock bulls i had resulted in so short a time.

THE W INGI1A1I impzeesivtly, "foeI, too, know bow to b + grateful for relief from pain." "Have I your permission, Lady Hal - don," Inquired the interviewer. "to pub- lish these facts without reservation?" "I shall be delighted if you will," her ladyship replied. Ic gives me the great - sae please a to testify as to the uuduubt ed efficacy of Dr, Williams' Pink Pille for Pale People, and You have my lull pertnissiou to publish my tribute to their merits." Previous to his withdrawal, the jour- nalist was entrusted with a portrait of elle beautiful Lady Haldou, bearing her autograph, which he was desired to pre- sent to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co A portrait sketch from the photograph is published with this interview by her ladyship's express permission. Persistent advertising of Ontario's re- sources by the Colonization Department has done much to swell the numbers of the immigrants of Toronto and points in Western Ontario. Daring the past five years for a corresponding period there has been a considerable increase, but for the current year this number has more than doubled that of last year. Director Southworth gives the following figures for the first six months of the years stated: 1901, 1,289; 1902, 2,729; 1903, 6,678; 1934, 8,403; 1905, 18,089. "It will be seen that, so far as the figures are evidence, there were in 1884 eight insane persons to every 5,000 of the population ; and that in 1904 there are fourteen insane persons to every 5,000 of the population. If there were little or no change in the ratio, it might be assumed that there was no reliable evideuce of its increase, but the increase is so great thatthere is only one conclu' sion to bearrived at, and that is, that, whatever be the cause, insanity is iu- creasing in Ontario more rapidly than the population." So states Mr. R. Christie, in hisannnai report, just published, of Lunatic and Idiot Asylums. see ...eau" GREY. Thos. and Mre.

TAUS PEOPLE BY FANNIE M.LOTHROP MC1ao Stunt% t1Y+Y.iCai CYNTHIA WEATOVER A4om The Romantic Career of an American Woman The lives of some people are so large, so brimful of action and accom- plishment, so pulsing with purpose, so kaleidoscopic and diverse in expres- sion, that a mere outline of their life -story seems more like the record of the doings of a syndicate than the biography of an individual. Such a one is Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden, founder and President -General of the Inter- national Sunshine Society, and whose generous thoughtfulness in "passing on" to others her surplus Christmas gifts was the inspiration of a world - society with over 3,000 branches and more than 200,000 members—all conse- crated to spreading sweetness and the sunshine of kindness. When Mrs. Alden was a motherless child of foul' she was taken by her father, an expert geologist, from her native home in Iowa to Colorado. This was when the journey across the Rockies was one of fearful peril, for to the hardships of travel was added the constant terror of the Indians. Her education was under the loving tutorship of her father, who, after teaching her the twenty-six keys to universal knowledge, led er into the mysteries of history and geology. When•but a child she rode a broncho with the nonchalance of an Indian; with a revolver at her belt or a rifle slung) across her arm she was a sure shot, and was expert with the lasso and bow' and arrow. In this large unconventional life she grew up a strong, health' girl, fearless, self-reliant, but with fine impulses and broad sympathy. Her hunger to serve humanity was even then manifest. She crawled through the tall grass to bathe and dress the wounds of a stage driver who had bees scalped by the Indians; saved the life of a miner who was to be lynched, by standing between, the victim and the enraged mob till its fury was calmed; was lowered over a precipice to bring up the dead body of a child; threw herself on a miner's lamp that had fallen near gunpowder and smothered the flames; rescued some snow -bound miners; made a daring) rescue ride through the Indian invaders and brought relief from the fort, and had many other similar experiences. The first child in the schools of Colorado, she graduated from the State University. She has made a success in journalism; has written three books, the latest of which is "Money Earning for Women"; done splendid work in music; mastered Spanish, German, Italian and French, and is one of the most popu• tar club women in the country. Mrs. Alden is the wife of John Alden, a lineal descendant of John Alden of "Mayflower" fame. Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canada, 1n the year 1904, by W. C. Mack, at the Department of Agriculture. WINGI-iAM'S PIILLIONAIRE. Mrs. Wise (to her worse half)—How comes Abraham to be the only million- aire in town ? Mr. Wise—Abraham's great wealth was acquired through upright dealing. He has conducted the bootand shoe business for 39years i theam shopand is in same still prepared to repair your boots at our own prices. - Ms. Wise—Whahas happened to cause on to smile so good naturedly? Mr. Wise—I got my boots mended at Abraham's, and I am 60 delighted with the work and the cost that I won't show you a frown for the next year. Mrs. Wise -1 wish you had gone to Abraham years ago with your boots; I might now be wearing silk and have fewer gray hairs in my head. Mr. Wise—Sip dear, don't you know it is never too late to mend—"boots"— As Abraham always uses the golden rale,—no other testimonial is required as 39 years in one spot is clear proof of square dealing.—Yon can see with one eye how be can work cheap; he is ander no expense. Abraham's record has no equal in Wingham.—Neither the Governor General nor the Prime Minister can boast of so long a term of office.
