NOTES &ND oOMMENTS.
Sir Mackenzie Bowall has definitely
deoided to withdraw from the leadership
of the. Conservative party in the Senate,
and a ballot through the mail will be
taken tor the selection of his successor.
After all, the farmer is the founda-
tion of prosperity, and is the most bide -
pendent man nuder the sun. Oa every
hand here in Canada are evidences of
his thrift and enterprise, and the other
classes of the population recognize in
him the lord of creation, Others may
get more wealth, bat the farmer is the
one to whom we must all bow down in
the matter of independence. -St. Thom-
as Times.
Canadian foreign trade continues to
expand in a remarkable way, but nn -
fortunately imports have been increas-
ing the last couple of mouths more
rapidly than exports, and there is now
a large adverse balance againat Canada,
though it is smaller than the total a year
ago, when imports for the eight months
exceeded exports by approximately $23,-
000,000,agaiust $13,000,000 for the our -
rent fiscal year. The rush of spring
goods is responsible for the large excess
of imports over exports during February
and conditions should be reversed when.
navigation opens, and the export grain
movement is resumed.
There is scarcely a man in Liskeard
to -day who does not own at least 1,000
shares in the various mining companies.
Yon could find scarcely a single woman
at a church bun fight who does not own
at least a little paper upon which she is
taking a chance. The very school child-
ren have their stook for which they are
robbing the candy man topay their as-
eeesessment. Men who could muster $5
in actual cash to buy their way out of
jail yet figure their possibilities in the
gnartermillions. Dealsin the thousands
are bound with a ten dollar bill ; choose
if you Dan your man from the hod to the
professions who does not confidently
hope Boon to be wealthy. This is a
country of big figures, and high hopes,
and the point of it ie, it may all' come
true. The probability is that many will
be disappointed, but the certainty is that
not a few will be made rich. -New
Liskeard Herald.
The Ontario Government's act to
amend the liquor license laws was intro-
duced in -the Legislature_ on Tuesday.
The act in brief provide8 that the license
fee is increased all along the line. The
fee in towns of less than 5,000. being
$850. Bartenders are to,pay a fee of $2;
no liquor is to be sold to a man nuder 21,
but a boy of 16 may tend bar; man who
takes part in violation of law is liable to
penalty; licensee loses privilege on third
conviction; licenses may be granted to
steamboats and dining cars; municipali-
ties and Government to share and share
alike in the matter of fees. The local
option law comes in for some radical
changes. In future local option votes
shall be taken only on annual election
days, and it is provided that on a petition
of 25 per cent. of the electors the council
must snbmiethe by-law. Three-fifths
of the polled votes are required, (form-
erly a majority vote ruled) and if the
by-law passes, the council mast pass the
by-law. A vote may not be taken for
tivo years after, a preceeding vote.
Mr. George Riley, formerly M.P. for
Victoria, B.O., is to be appointed a Sen-
ator.

Dr. Willialns' Pink Pills. Make' Rich,
Bed, Health -gluing Blood."
Cold winter months, enforcing close
confinement in over -heated, b'adiy ven.
tilated rooms --in the home, to the shop,
and in the school- sap the vitality of
even the strongest. The blood becomes
clogged with impuritiee,theliver sluggish,
the kidneys weakened, sleep is not rest-
fnl-you awake just as tired as when
yon went to bed; yon are low spirited,
perhaps have headache and blotchy skin,
that is the condition of tlionsands of
people every spring. It comes to all un-
less the blood is fortified by a good tonin
-by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These
pills not only banieh"this feeling but they
guard against the more serious ailments
which usually follow-rhenmetiem, ner-
vous debility, anaemia, indigestion and
kidney trouble. Dr. W' amsPink
Pills are an ideal ging dioine. Every
dose makes new, rioh, re blood. Every
drop of new blood he s to strengthen
the overworked n ves. Overcomes
weakness and drkve , he germs of disease
from the body. fAlthorough treatment
gives yon vim a energy to resist the
torrid heat of the coming summer. Mr.
Mack A Meuse, Sluice Point, N. S.,
says: "I was so completely run down
that I could hardly work. I deoided to
try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as I had
heard them highly spoken of, and a few
boxes worked a great change in my con-
dition. I am again feeling as well and
strong tie ever I did and can recommend
the pills to all weak people."
It is a mistake to take purgatives in
the spring. Nature calls for a medicine
to build up the wasted force -purgatives
only weaken. It is a medicine to act on
the blood, not one to act on the bowels,
which is necessary. • Dr. William§' Pink
Pills are a good medicine -they make
pure rioh, red blood, and strengthen
every organ of the body. Sold by medi-
cine dealers or by mail at 50 Dents a box
or six boxes nor $2 50, from the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co , Brockville, Ont.

ORANGE GRAND LODGE.
Of Ontario West Heid In Goderich
Last Week
Nearly three hundred delegates atten-
•.ded the annual meetingof Orange Grand
Lodge of Ontario West, held in Goderich
last week,
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the reports is that contained in the
report of the Grand Seoretaay (Mr.
i William Lee,) who shows an increase of
3,746 members, from which is to be de-
ducted expulsions and deaths to the
number of 257, this makes a net inorease
for the year of 8,488. The Grand Tress•
surer also reports a most successful year
in the history of his office, the amount of
arrearage being less than at any time of
whioh record has been kept. Twelve
new primary lodges were organized dur-
ing the year.
The Grand Master was able to report
a year of progress; he urged upon the
officers of primary lodges the necessity of
forwarding their returns promptly to
the Grand Secretary ;• cited the inorease
of 500 in the membership of the Order
in Toronto as an example to other dis-
tricts; reported a substantial boom in
the Royal Scarlet Chapter; commend
the Clarke Wallace Memorial Fend to
the brethern; paid tribute to the pro-
gress of the Sentinel under the editorship
of Brother H. C. Haoken; and recom-
mended the appointment of an energetio
organizer for Ontario West.
The report of the Grand Auditors,
W. D. McPherson and W. H. Taylor,
stated that the balance brought forward
from last year of $1,816 02 was added to
by the income from primary lodges of
$2,886 90, which, with the , interest on
bank balance of $19.80, makes the
moneys at the disposal of the Grand
Lodge for the currept fiscal year $4,-
722 72. This shows an increase of
$676.35 over last year.
The expenditure last year was great-
ly in excess of the preceding year, hav-
ing amounted last year to $2,712.12 ae
1$gainst $1,885 20 the preceding years,
an inorease of $826 92, in which however,
are included donations amounting to
0801.50.
Organization was one of the main
questions up for discussion.
The report of the commitee at the last
meeting of the Grand Lodge at Midland
present a most exhaustive report, wbioh
was discussed for four hours, and the
chief clauses carried only after the yeas
and nays had been taken.
The adoption of the report marks a
new and aggressive policy by the Grhnd
Lodge. Heretofore the work of stimu-
lating existing lodges, reviving dormant
lodges, andinstituting new lodges has
been Ieft to the voluntary efforts of the
county workers. By the change made at
this meeting several thousand dollars
will be raised each year to keep organ-
izers in the field constantly. From this
great results are anticipated.
The debate hinged on the recommenda-
tion to assess the membership fifteen
cents additional per Annum to provide
the necessary funds.
When the vote was taken it was found
that 128 were for the increase of the
per capita tax, and 60 in favor of submit.`
ting the question to the primary lodges.
The appointment of organizers was
left with the Executive Committee of
the Grand Lodge, who will be respell.sible for the work done. Itis expected
that sufficient funds will be secured to
keep two organizers in the field perman-
ently.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: G. M„ Col. J. H. Scott, Walk-
erton; D. 0. M , E. T. Essery, London;
J. D. G. M., H. Lovelock; Treasurer,
John Hewitt; Chaplain, Rev. Wm.
Lowe, London; Secretary, Wm. Lee,
Toronto; .Assistant Secretary, Wm.
Fitzgerald.
The next place of meeting is Orange-
ville.
The Provincial Grand Black Chapter
met on the Tneday with a very good at-
tendance.
The Grand Master, John Scarlet, of
Leadbury, in retiring from the honored
position at the head of the Order, ex-
pressed the opinion that there was plenty
of room for branching out, room for
organizing new preceptories, and greatly
increasing the membership,
Fred Parnell, Grand Registrar, St.
Catharines, reported new preceptories in
Toronto Junction and Orangeville, The
membership shows a net gain of 141, a
small decrease over the previous year,
which will probably be, made up when
the full returns are made.
Lieut. -Col. Belcher,Grand Treasurer,
in compliance with the order made at
Midland last year, furnished eaoh dele-
gate with a statement of the finances,
which andwed a etatisfactory surplus.
The Sir Knights of Grand Chapter at
its closing eeseion ebowed a livelier in.
tetebt than usual in the proceedings and
the,electlon of officers. At the exprerred
wised of the Sir Knights, John Scarlet; of
eadbury, consulted to re-election, and
so did Robert Graham, Hamilton, De-
putyGrand Master, W. B. Srigley, To.
ronto, associate 'Deputy Grand Matter;
Peed. R. Parnell, St. Catharineb, Grand
Registrar, and Lieut. -Col. A. E. Belcher,
Southampton, Grand Treasurer, were al.
r0 re•eleoted without opposition.

MAY IRWIN
Canada's Favorite Comedienne.
One of the leading comediennes of the American stage to -day, is May Irwin,
a daughter of Canada. In these days of Ibsen plays with their dull dreary pts-
simism; of problem plays portraying the morbid pathology of thq emotions; of
society plays with their whipped cream of forced epigram on the pulpy base of
a thin plot; and of melodrama that puts a dime novel into the dress -suit of res-
pectability, it is a,relief to turn to something that gives us a hearty wholesome
laugh and leaves no bad flavor in the mouth, no later regret. Laughter is one
of the safety valves of civilization, it is a needed• vent in an age of strenuous liv-
ing; and a genuine apostle of laughter is May Irwin.
Her power is her personality, her naturalness, her spontaneity;
her bubbling
contagious good spirits establishinga telepathic sympathy with- her audience
which creates a continuous
ripple of fun and laughter that defies analysis.
The daughter of Robert E. Campbell, Mis's Irwin acknowledges that she w: s
born in 180•l -"rho' she doesn't look it" of course -in Whitby, pet., where she
spent her early girlhood. .At the age of eight she was a soprano in the church choir
of her native village and sang at every opportunity and with the slightest pro-
vocation, as naturally as a bird sings, -without a Marchesi training. At thirteen
the death of her father threw upon her and her sister Flora the duty of money-
making, and they made their abut as singers in Buffalo , V.Y. They were billed
as the "Irwin Sisters," unknown to them, and accepted the name. They sang
"Sweet Genevieve" for their first song; Flora fainted after it was over but May
valiently faced the audience for an encore with. the coolness of a veteran,
Engagements in other cities followed quickly on the western circuit, find
their third season found them at' Tony Pastor's an New York at eighty .dollars
a week. Seven years of this engagement where improvising was often necessary
and the roles ranged.from a babe in arms to a grandmother, gave Miss Irwin a
confidence that has never forsaken her, despite her statement that she cannot
take her initial cue at any performance without a little. qualm of uncertainty
and fear of the audience. Augustin Daly who had a. keen eye for now talent,
gave her an excellent• post -graduate course of four years in his theatre, which
was a splendid .training school, and prepared her for her later successes. At the
age of sixteen she married Frederick NV. Keller who died eight
years later leaving
her with two ions -her loving comrades and the pride of her lift.
