THURSDAY, MAR. 15, 1.90G.
NOTES AND JOMMENTS.
Petitions to Parliament asking for the
better observance of Sunday as a day of
rest have been pouring into Parliament
during the past two months. It is esti-
mated that the number of names attach-
ed will approach 100,000 -all of them
electors, men over 21 years of age.
From the pablio accounts of the
Province of Ontario, a Dopy of which is
on our desk, we notice that $74,17L15
was paid out of the Provincial treasury
last year for boanties to the manufac-
turers of beet sugar. The Berlin Co.
received $36,303.18, Wallacebarg 0o.
$37,873.54 and Wiartou Co. balance of
beauty, $14.83.
Five of the ten vaeanoies in the Cana-
dian Senate have been filled. The ap-
pointees are: -Mr. Robert Jaffray, of
Toronto, to succeed thelate ate H ou. G. T.
Fulrord. Dr. J. M. Douglas, ex-M.P.
for Aesiniboia East. Mr. Peter Talbot,
ex -!ll P. for Saskatchewan. Dr. L. G.
DeVerber, Minister without portfolio iu
the Alberta Ministry. Mr. Pnilip Roy,
of Edinontou.
The amount received by the munici-
palities iu Outerio from the liquor license
famed in 1903.4 was $257,865; in 1904 5,
it was $248,492, or $8,374 less. The
average yearly commitments for drunk-
eness 1896 to 1900 were 1,920; in 1901.5
they were 3,186. The revenue derived
for the Province in 1904 5 was $297,825.
There was collected in hues $21,004. A11
told the liquor traffic yielded $637,702, or
$11,630 Less than in the preceding year.
Josh Billings says: "I lave a rooster
bekause of his krow, and bekause he has
the spnrrs to back up his crow wid."
The Hon Geo. V. Ross is the rooster,
and although there was a landslide a
year or so ago which would have effec-
tively silenced most men, he has bobbed
up serenely, and as leader of the Opposi-
tion in the Legislature is waging war
agiinst the hypocrisy of the Whitney
Administration which is bound to cul-
minate in something. -Galt Reformer.
The Minister of Justice has given
notice in the House of Commons of the
appointment of a committee, consisting
of Messrs Aylesworth, Greenway, Stock-
ton, Ingram and the mover, to enquire
into the operation of the acts relating to
the election of members of the House,
and into the practice and procedure in
connection with election petitions, and
to consider what changes are desirable
therein. The committee will have power
to examine witnesses ander oath and to
report from time to time.
Daring the nine months ending on the
last day of March next, the Dominion
of Canada will spend a total sum of
nearly $68,000,000. Of this fifty-one and
a half millions will be on consolidated
fund, viz , ordinary current expenditure,
and nearly sixteen and a half millions on
capital expenditure. Among the votes
for public works in Ontario are $10,000
for Wingham post office; $50,000 for
harbor improvements at Goderich,
$1,500 for harbor improvements and
dredging at Kincardine; $800 for repairs
and dredging at Bayfield.
It must be intensely disheartening for
Hon. Mr. Borden. leader of the Domin-
ion Opposition, to face the House with
so small a band of followers, and to
know that among hia nominal following,
small as it is, there are Several cendi-
dates for the constituency first repre-
sented by Judas, that an tineas hand
ateals often towards the handle of the
knife, and especially that the hoary lead-
er of the Oonservativoparty in the grave
and reverend Senate repudiates hie lead-
ership and refuses to respond to the cati-
ons call.-Peterboro Examiner.
Hon. Mr. Monteith introduced the
County Councils Aot in the Legislature
on Monday. Under this, as previously
explained, there is a reversion to the old
system of representation by Reeves and
Deputy Reeves, instead- of by members
elected from electoral distriots, as is now
the case. The ratio of representation
set in the bill is 1,000 municipal voters.
Thus, a municipality with 1,000, and
not more than 2,000, persons on the
voters' list would be represented by one
Reeve and one Deputy Reeve; more than
2,000 voters would entitle a municipality
to two Deputy Reeves, and more than
3,000 to three. Voting for Councillors
takes place at the municipal oleotions.
Under the present system the county
councillors of the province number 510;
under the proposed measure they would
number 815.
With all the customary pomp, splendor
and stately ceremonial that accompany
the occasion, Earl Grey on Thursday
last opened the second session of the
tenth Canadian Parliament. There was
the usual military display furnished by
the Foot Gaards, and large numbers of
the capital's citizens turned out to wit-
ness the paseage instate of the Governor-
General. There was a notable gather-
ing of Ottawa's fashion and beauty in

TRE WINGIIAM TIMES MARCH
THE ROAD TO HEALTH
Lies Through the Rich, Red Blood
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Actually
Make.
Common Pills purge the bowels Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills make new rich
blood. Purging pills gallop through the
bowels -tearing the tissues, irritating
the organs and weakening the whole
system. Dr. Wiliiams' Pink Pills do
not purge at all. They're tonic pills,
soothing pills, strengthening pills, blood -
building pills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
actually make new blood. That is why
they are the only scientific cure for all
blood diseases. That is why they cure
headaches and backaches, kidney trou-
bles, indigestion, neuralgia, rheumatism,
heart troubles and the special ailments
of growing girls and mature women.
Purging pills act only on the symptoms
of disease; Dr. Williams' Pink Pills go
straight to the root of the trouble in the
blood -and cure. Mr. John Burke,
Elmdale, P. E. I., says: "I think Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills the best medicine
in the world I had an attack of pneu-
monia which was followed by extreme
nervousness and rheumatism. I tried
some of our best doctors but got nothing
to help me until I began taking Dr
Williams' Pink Pills. After taking the
pills some weeks I could actually feel
the new blood they were making cours-
ing through my veins, and in the course
of a few weeks more I was completely
restored to health," Remember that it
is only Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that can
make this new, rioh, health -giving
blood. Imitations and the so•called
"just as good" medicines never cured
anyone. Insist on the genuine with the
full name, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for

JOHN COLON .FORBES R. C. A.
Canada's Great Portrait Painter,
The artist who was commissioned by the Canadian Government to paint
the portraits of Ding Edward and (Queen Alexandra for the Dominion house of
Parliament, and who. was honored wadi sittings by their Majesties in the early
part of this year, is John (ioliii Forbes who has a long trail of successes in his.
sixty years.
Born in Toronto of Scotch -English parents, he was educated at Upper Canada
College in his native city, and at an early age showed the first faint dawnings
of his artistic genius. He was entirely self-taught, following with the sure instinct
of true power along tit.; lines of natural development, and silently working nut
his own destiny until no produced his first real stork, a portrait of his father.
This revealed so commanding an exhibit of his ability that he was sent to study
at the South Kensingtoa Museum and later at the loyal Academy in London.

One of his first paintings, a marine � tt.t called o
at the Provincial Exhibition in 1860 and he later painted aynutnber of portraits
that added greatly to his fame, notably those of Lord 1)ufferin, Sir John Mac-
donald, Alexander .11aeIienz. , Edward Blake, Sir Charles Tupper and Lady
Helen Blackwoo.l.
In ISSI he :vac elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and five sears
later painted for the Canadian Pacific R.R. a series of pictures which reproduced
some of the masterpieces of Nature's painting and sculpture in the wild, romantic
Canadian Rockies, where Titanic mountains, deep gorges, great expanses of
scenery are shown in a color scheme of Nature at her best. 'These gave him
themes that filled his artistic soul with joy. Those who are familiar with his
paintings " The Callon in the Royal Gorge," " The Mount of the Holy Cross,"
• Mount Stephen," and the •' Glacier of the Selkirks," must ever carry with them
the memory of th'dr majestic beauty and power. In ISO1 members of the Can-
adian Liberal party sent, hint to England to paint. a full-length portrait of Glad-
stone for the National Liberal Club of London. For the past few ycars,much of
his work has been done in the 'United States where he has made portraits of many
of the leading Hien of the country.
Fire and water have been merciless in their nursnit of Mr. Forbes. When
the steamer " Hibernia " went clown in mid -ocean in 1SOS it carried with it some
of his hest paintings and he barely escaped with his life. and his famous painting
of the wreck was destroyed by fire in 1870. In three later fires the work of years
fed the flames, and yet this Phoenix painter of Canada, undismayed and un-
daunted, has ever risen with new life from the ashes.
