When C's solictoasearched the title it
was found that in a preceding owner's
deed it was not stated whether be was

$40 to have the title made good. Can
B compel A. to pay all or part of the
cost? • -
Ans. — If the objection to the title
was a vaild one B. should have taken
the objection at the time he 'purchased
from A. and then he might have had
some right to claim that A should pay
the expenses of making the title per-

Canadian Home Circle In Con
vention At Hamilton
The twenty-fourth annual Convent-
ion of the Order. of Canadian Home
Circles opened in the Association Hall
Hamilton, on Tuesday of this week.
It'is interesting to note some of the
facts concerning the growth and ex-
tent of this organization. The be
ginning was small and the first circle
was the outcome of a meeting held in
the latter part of September 1884 in a
room in the Dominion Hotel of Ham ii
ton under the direction of P14 Pettis -
on the founder, but on account of the
small number present no definite steps
were taken towards organization in
the city. Mr Pattison, however, on re
turning to his home in Waterford,
still enthused with the idea of etart-
ing some sort of an organization, was
able to form one them, with the re -
quit that Waterford has the distinct-
ion of having No 1 Circle. That was
twelity-six years ago, "and during that
time the order has so advanced that,
there are now 390 circle scattered all
Over the Dominion with a membership
of 10,731 at the end of last year,
A feature of the Order is that it has
a total disability benefit fundby which
a member when he becomes totally
disabled receives half the face value
of his certificate and thus does not be-
come a burden upon those who are
naturally dependent upon him for pro-
tection and support.
Up to December 31, 1900,the -amount
of insurance carried was $26,200,000;
death benefits paid $3,595,506; life ex-
pectancy benefits, $117,400; total dista
Witty fund, $4o,300; sick benefits, $50,-

New and Greater Production of °
SEN U
A Tale of the Christ to be Staged at
the Grand Opera House, London,
March 21st, 22nd and 23rd
When the curtain is drawn at t
Grand Opera House, London, on Mon-
day evening, Mar. 21st, the most elab-
orate,magnificent and historically cor-
rect production will he dieclosed that
has ever charmed and enthralled a
theatre audience. It will be the prem-
iere in London at the new and greater
production of 'Ben -Hun,' as re -arrang-
ed by Klaw & Erlanger.
"Ben.H.ur, with its lustrous "Star of
Bethleherneits camels, Arabian steeds,
Oriental trappery and mimic splendour
of the gorgeous East, is beyond doubt
the most elaborate spectacle ever stag-
ed in the history of the world. Its
series of scenes present to the eye
a feast of multifarious beauty and var-
iety all set to o, symphonic accompani.
ment of graceful music. The exciting
episodes, such as the galley scene, with
its herds of chained slaves, the sea
fight, the rescue in mid -sea, the thrill-
ing race with its quadruple teams of
galloping horses, combined with the
picturesque Scenes representing the
appearance of the Star to the Wise
Men in the Desert, the moonlit Lake
in the Orchard of Palms, where Ben-
Hur and Iras make love while drifting
in the barge of the fair Egyptian, the
palm -waving worshippers on theMount
of Olives, simply captivate the great
auiences that aro nightly in attendance
wherever it is being enacted.,
• As now arranged and staged .
Ielaiv & Erlanger, the public sees a
great spectacle which appeals not
merely on the strength of its dramatic
values,hut AS a colossal and pjeturesque
pageant. And in the chariot race, the
scene which,coupled with the popular-
ity of General Wallace's book, gave
the, play its enormous vogue, eight

horses, aided by the most intricate
mechanisms, will produce the prodig-
ious illusion of the struggle for victory
in the arena of the Circus of Antioch.
Edgar Stillman .Kelly's brilliant musi-
cal score, which so heightens .the dig-
nity and solemnity of the Biblical nar-
rative, and was one of the most potent
factors in it success, is made a dora-
