TUE ORA .ND OLD MAX,
In this counter. et least, where the
bitterness of Imperial politics is little
felt, the death of Gladstone comes to
men of all parties alike, with a grief
which is almost personal.
Ina century of conflict, selfishness,.
free -thought, and a falling away from
ancient ideals. Mr. Gladstone steed
above all men, a rallying, point for
everything that was honest, honorable,
pure and t.,ed-feerieg.
Weil nigh peerless in oratory and
stttteeraft, indi.:er:ir t to bill's and vast
wealth, eminent alike in literature and
scholarship, be nes above all a Chris-
tian gentleman, a father, husband and
patriot. The pubic that he loved, not
always trusted hitt. It isidle to say
that he never erred, but on the last day
when the kings and the leaders of na-
tiotas, stand forth for judgment, and
tite geed in their lives is balanced
against the ill, fern in this, or any age,
will be there whose records arose brave,
clean .and honorable, as that of William
Gladstone.
The duty of loyal Canadians is to in
crease in every possible way the good
feeling which is so happily springing
up between Great Britain and the Unit-
ed States. We may have our own feel.,
ings of enmity, which have grown up
through decades et ;lot too pleasant in.
tereourse with our repuplicau ieigh
bors; but these should be forgotten, or
at least laid aside, until Uncle Sam
gives new evidence of the old hostile
feeling, which, however we hope has;
been stilled for ever. The house gee.
erunieut with the interests of the whole
empire at stake, bas spoken out for

in mind, to place a word, or evenlook,

NOTES..L n CO it l.i E 1.S.
The cold weather of the mouth so far
bas put the wool reason back this year,
the water having been hitherto too cold
to wash the sheep A little wool is
coming in this week, but it is ea.peeted
that next week the market will be in
full swing. Wool prices are shaded
off a little from last year, and there
does not seem to be any present ex.
poctation that they will improve,
A Stratford correspondent says:—
The fall wheat in this seeion, and in
fact throughout the ei.tre northern
part as far as Wiarton, was never as
backward for many years as this sea
son, and it is thought by many farmers
that owing to this fact and it being
badly killed out by the winter frosts,
that it will not be more than half a
crop. It averages about four inches in
height. The spring grain is also very
backward. Fruit of ail kinds prom.
ises to be an enormous crop.

A Chicago church has abolished
sidesmen and instituted an electric col-
lection box. As soon as the clergyman
has touched a button in the pulpit the
box runs around wires from pew to
pew and the congregation do the rest.
A hell rings when nothing is put in.
Wouldn't it keep the old bell a bum-
ming in some of the Exeter churches?
The trustees would have to replace it
with a new one or send it to Mr. Smith
for repairs after each service. The
firing of Commodore Dewey's rapid fir-
ing guns would sound like a funeral
dirge compared with it.
A SUBTERRANEAN PASSAGE.
Vessels and marine interests are be-
coming much alarmed oyer the contin-
ued lowering of the waters of Lake Su-
perior. At Duluth -the water is down
30 inches from last year's level, and is
of the same effect as though thousands
of dollars' worth of dredging had not
been accomplished. The low water is
a direct los to the vessel interests, as it
prevents them loading their boats to
their moral carrying capacity. The
reason for this low water is not clear,
and the old talk among vessel .men of
the subterraneanas
g
a as a to Lake
La e
e vi
Huron is revived. vee. This is furthered by
the fact that the water in Lake Huron
is correspondingly high, and it is not
going down the St. Marys river.—Mar-
ine Record.

Mr. J. Lewis Aikenhead, formerly of
Stanley, in this county, writes to the
Expositor from Detroit as follows: •'I
am studying law in this city and find
the work very pleasant;- I have suc-
ceeded in passing all my examinations.
as far as I.have yet gone. I may say
also that a. number of young men from
Exeter, who are liere studying' dentis
try, have succeeded in passing ' their
examinations:.. But what I wish 'par-
ticularly to bring to your attention is
the fact that another old Stan'ey<boy,
in -the person of Di Peter C. McEwen,,
w to is now a practising physician in
this city, !has been signally honored.
by the authorities here. Doctor. Mc-
•
Ewen graduated from the Detroit Col-
lege of Medicine, and for.
o two years
thereafter practised, in the Children's.
Free Hospital. He then opened an of-
fice of his own on ;derrick avenue, and
began the work of betiding up a prae
tire, which is quite an undertaking for
a yottng man in a city, where there is
such keen cor-apetitiou and where the
most skilful praetiouers known to the
profession are located. Dr. :dcEwen,
however, was equal to the occasion, and
his pluck and professional skill secured
b:m success. At a recent meeting of
the Board of Health for the eity, , he was
unaninxously selected for the position
of Secretary, stud this without applica
tion or solicitation on his part. After
date consideration, however, he decided
to decline the roniewhat tempting offer
although the salary attaehed to the po-
sition is $1,500. a year. He found that
if he accepted the position he would re-
quire to give up his practice, and this
be says, is better to him than the posi-
tion offered, and is continually increas-
ing. Thus, you see, another of old
Huron's eons is doing honor to himself
and his native county abroad."
Killed at a Crossing.
Luean, Ont., May al. -Mrs. Theresa
Barnes was killed at the erossiug in
the village by a freight train going
west about nine o'eloek this evening,
It would appear from the fact of the
train not stopping that the bands on
the train did not see her.

a post in the railway yard, became

A Goderioll Township Assault
Case.
Clinton, Ont., May 28'—Geo Oakes,
who assaulted Isaac Jones on the pub
Ile street a week ago, whipping him
severley with a rawhide, was examin-
ed before Mayor Holmes and Justice of
the Peace 1lcGarva last night on a
charge of grevious assault, with intent
to do bodily harm,and committed for
trial at Goderieh, bail in $650 being
accepted. Both the parties are well
known and highly connected residents'
of Goderich township, and the assault
was the result of a long-standing fem.
icy feud, iu which several relatives are
mixed up.
Appointed Lieutenant -Governor.
Ottawa, May,80,—.lir, 1e C. Cameron,
M. P., has gone to his reward at Re
gins. He has been appointed Lieuteu•
ant -Governor of the North-west, the
position to which it had all along been
thought was being reserved for Mr.
Me\Iullen. It is fitting, however, that
the plum should have fallen to the
member for West Huron, for next to
Mr, McMullen he was always loudest
in his dignitation of members of the
Commons slavishly serving their party
in Parliament with commisions in their
pockets. Supplementary estimates of
three millions were brought down late
to night.
A Fatal Runaway.
Eastwood, Ont., May 26,—A very sad
aceident happened here last evening by
which an old. resident, Anthony Hurley
lost his life. He was returning home
with a team, wagon and cultivator, and
had just reached the top of a grade
from underneath the railway bridge,
which passes over the Brantford road
at this point, when a train came rush-
ing along. The horses took freight and
ran away, throwing the old man off the
wagon, only to be caught in the teeth
of the cultivator, which was attached
behind. He was dragged some dis-
tance along the ground, and when
found some minutes after, by Rev. A.
B. Miller, life was extinct. He leaves
a widow O
w grown-up sons.
More Rate Cutting.
Toronto, May 27.—The railway rate
war which has now been on for some
three or four months is extending to
the boat lines. The Hamilton Steam
boat Company announced a cut to 25
cents, half the usual price. The Grand
Trunk Railway has been compelled to
make a further cut on rates to points
on the south shore of Lake Ontario,
Whitby, Bowmauville, Cobourg, etc.,
ou account of the opposition of a cheap
iiue of steamers. The Grand Trunk
Railway will discontinue' its service he
tween Hamilton and Burlington Beach
on account of the opposition of 'the rad-
ial railway. The C. P; R. announces
an extra train between Toronto and
Hamilton, beginning Sunday next,:
making six trains daily instead of five,

.A Child Trilled.
St. Thomas, Clot,, May 27 —A ter
ribic sad accident occurred a short dis-
tanee east of the city on Thursday af-
ternoon: Fred Small was returning
from Rudolph S Begg's brewery with a
load of malt for David Goodwin. He
was driving post the schoolhouse on
Talbot street just as the children came
out of school. The little on jnmptel.
on the wagon to have a ride, ' Among
the number was Ethel Maud Palmer,
the seven-year old daughter of D. A
Palmer, contractor, Yarmouth. In
some manner Ethel fell off and the
heavy rig, carrying 2,000 pounds of
malt, passed over her bowels, She
was removed to her parents' home,
and Dr. Marlatt of this city, summoned.
He did everything possible for the
injured child, but she passed away at
10,20 p.m, The little girl's brother
and sister were on the rig at the time
of the accident.
Sternaman Case Not Yet Ended.
Toronto, May 80. --Mr. Chas. R. Rob
erts, of New York, claims inspector of
the Metropolitan Life Iusurance Com
pany, was in the city Saturday, and
held a consultation with the Deputy
Attorney -General with reference to
Mrs. Sternaman's suit for $1,000 insur-
ance on her late husband's life, which
is now pending in. Buffalo,
After her acquittal Mrs. Sternaman
stated to a Mail and Empire reporter
that she would not continue the suit
and would " refuse to touch a dollar of
their ditty money-" It appears, how-
ever, that she has not full control of the
matter. Before the first trial she as-
signed the insurance in part to Attor-
ney Thayer, of Buffalo, who fought the
extradition proceedings for her, and in
part to W. M. German, M.P,P., of Wel-
land, who was her counsel at her first
trial. So far as is known Mr. German
is taking little interest in the present
proceedings, but Mr. Thayer insists on
pushing them.
It is understood that the Metropolitan
Insurance Company will set up an -ab-
solute defense of murder if the case
comes to court, which will mean that
the question of Mrs, Sternaman's .inno-
cense or guilt will be practically tried
over again in the civil courts at Buffalo.
The Canadian verdict of " Not guilty "
does not preclude any such defence on
the other side of the line. In tliat event
the evidence of the many Canadian
witnesses will probably be taken on
commission atCya e
u a.
The whereabouts of Mrs. Sternaman
are unknown to any but a few of her
friends. She was to have left for •Buffs•
lo on the Monday evening after the
trial, but evidently changed her mind
at the last moment owing to a rumour
that there was a warrant out for her
arrest in Buffalo on a charge of admin-
istering poison, ; If she is now in Buffa-
lo her address is being kept secret
