Aylsworth, M, P, P. for Len= rrox, has resigned the seat, the petition against his election being withdrawn and the petitioner payiug the costs. AN IMPROMPTU SOLO There was a feature in the last Sun- day evening service at the Windsor Avenue Methodist Church of which no. intimation was given by the pastor In fact it was purely impromptu. While Miss Guillot was rendering her s w1o, A0 By the Waters of Babylon," there floated through the open win- dows from the parsonage on the next lot the tones of a, child soerauo, sweet and pure as a silver bell, and the bur- den of the melody was:— "Jesus loves me, this I know, For the Bible tells me so," After the echoes of Miss Guiilot's fine voice had died away, and a bush had fallen on the congregation, the infant voiee continued the song, and the people listened with keen atten- tion, while a ripple of amusement was evident. A glance at the pulpit also showed that the stalwart occupant manifested some uneasiness, The em- barrassment was markedly iucreased when the sacred song was suspended and three infantile voices broke forth with " Down on the Wabash,'" while t11e .anauseurent of the congregation teok an audible form.. " That is the disadvantage of hav- ing a large family, and living next door to the Church," said Mr, Living- ston. It may be said that the pastor has eleven children, and the majority of them were in church,—Windsor Re. cord, Is the Drink Habit on the Increase I had been led to believe by my own. experience and from reports from other sources and quarters, that the drink. habit was on the decline, I was reat- Jet surprised on hearing a temperance lecturer Inauel h i v' b bog ag village ask- ing in his discourse "where does it go," evidently desirous of impressing on the minds of his hearers the fact that large quantities of liquor were manufactured, imported or otherwise, and, if not con sumed, what became of it. In order to show the enormous` quantity made and consumed, ed, he said it would fi1la trench or vanal, ten feet deep and twenty feet wide, reaching from 'Windsor to Lon- don, Toronto or Quebec. This certain- ly was a great surprise to me, and for the moment regretted having opposed Legislative Prohibition. I considered if that statement was correct, that ex- treme measures were absolutely nec- cessary, and I believe in extreme meas ures in extreme cases. When I left the hall my mind was so Impressed with the good speeches and the good and profitable evening spent, and also con- templating the amount of liquor drank, and the large sums of money necessary to pay for same, my sympathy was aroused. Two or three days after a friend of mine was talking to me about this canal, expressed a wish to know how much liquor this canal would hold, and wished I would figure it out, I did so and I find the following results, viz: That a canal 10x20 feet, one mile long would hold 176,715 barrels of beer, 36 gallon each—sold at $7 per barrel would amount to $1.258.005. Sold by the glass would amount to 85,031,620. Were this canal 100 miles, a distance Iess than the distance between Windsor and London, the number of barrels it would contain would be 17,971,500. At $7 a barrel the sum would be $125,- 860,500. If sold by the glass it would sum up to $513,202,000. This 100 mile canal would furnish each man, woman and child in the Dominion of Canada with 2016 gallons of beer per capita per annum. The Hon. Wm. S. Fielding, Minister of Finance, in his report for 1897 says the per capita beer drank in the Domin- ion is Si gallons per annum. What a contrast between 3i galIons and 2016 gallons. According to Mr. Fielding's statement a canal 7i miles long 10x20 feet would hold all the beer consumed in Canada so far as comes under his jurisdiction or knowledge. According to Mr. Fielding's budget speech the use of spirits is decreasing, but more beer is used, but taking the two together these is a marked de- crease in the consumption of alcohol as commonly termed. The greatest enemy the cause of temperance has to eontend with, are those exaggerated statements so fre• quently reserted to by platform speak- ers when they are desirous of getting up a sensational feeling. C. PROUTY, Wilfrid, infant son of C. H. Drulard, Windsor, swallowed a quantity of con- centrated lye. Little hopes for re- covery. Thomas Godkin, cheesemaker of Twin Elm, Ont., who sustained injuries while jumping oa Saturday, last died Thursday. Ralph Johnston, aged 17 years, of Whitby, collided with a couple of other bicycleriders of that town and re- ceived fatal injuries. Mr. Anthony Henry, Waubuno Sus- tained a serious accident the other day dislocating his shoulder. His team ran away and upset the wagon. While hunting in a swamp on the tenth concession of Howick, Jacob C. Moss was accidently shot in the left arm by Russell Cook, wbo, thinking Moss was ; gone some distance' away, fired at a partridge, KIRKTQN FAIR.

The $62,000 Bank Robbery, Winnipeg, Man„ Oct. 5.—The Mot sons Bank in this city has been robbed of a large sum of money, said to be in the neighborhood of $62,000. Tho bank officials and solicitors aro very reticent in regard to the matter, al- though they do not deny that the bank has been.robbed, and the details of the affair are kept from the public. Oct. 6.—There are no now develop. ments in the Molsons Bank robbery, as yet the combination locks and one key lock have to be opened before the treasury compartment can be entered. Each combination is know only to one man, and the finbl treasury compart- ment has two combination locks, and two men must be present when the door is opened. It is not believed that the plot to rob the bank, of which Man- ager Phepoe received notice from a private dective about a month ago, had any connection with the robbery of the $62,000. The man whose name was given to Phepoe by the detec- tive as being one of those concerned in the plot was in jail at the time, and is still serving a three month's sentence. Bankers who have discussed the rob. bery expressed the opiniou that it would be impossible for anyone to get into the vault were any of the doors locked. It is stated a great deal of the money was in Dominion one -dollar bills, and that there is positively no means of indentifying any of the money. Gratifying Improvement. " My face was covered with pimples blackheads when I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, but after the use of this medicine a short time I was cured, I cannot recommend it too highly since it has done much for me." May Ryan, North Street, Oungah, Ontario. Hood's Pills ars the only pills to take with Hood's Sarsaparilla. 25c. 'What Scrofula Is. Scrofula is a disease as old as antiquity. It has been handed down for gener- ations and is the same to -day as in early times. It is emphatically a dis• ease of the blood ,and the only way to cure it is by purifying the blood, That is just what Hood's Sarsaparilla does in every case where it is given a faithful trial. It eradicates all impurities from the blood, and cures the sores, boils, pimples' and all forms of skin disease due to scrofula taints in the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla has won the great praise of vast number of people ley its grand and complete cures. Don't allow scrofula to de- velop in your blood: Cure it at once'. by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. iN MOOD TO FIGHT. The ltedmen Stay Attempt to Drive A11 the Troops Yrom Their Reservation Gen. Bacon's Lltimatunt. Walker, Minn„ Oot, 11, At the agency a council , was held between the Indians, General Bacon, Colonel Her baoh, Indian' Agent Sutherland and Mar- shal O'Connor, Tho result of the confer- enoe was not in any way unlike that of those previously held, except in the fact that not one of the leading men of the different bands was present, A most significant fact is this; Satur- day thirty canoe loads of Bear Island Indians and their families, professing to be peaceful, arrived at the agency. Yes- terday every one of the buoks in the party left, but whore they heave gone is only to be suriuisen. There is little doubt, how- ever, that they have left for Bear Island to joie those who are already prepared to fight.

Ion of Annexation Drought Banat« QAiclaily to the l?'ront. Ringftun, Ja., Oct, 11.—Thu question of the nnnesation of tho Island of Jama- ica to (auada, which woe mooted about a month ago, luta now been definitely put before the public through tho medi- um of tha somi•orliclal newspaper. The Qlonnur publishes a review of the aeon• omlo situation and says that beyond a doubt a fooling hi growing In raver of political incorporation with Canada. "But," says tho Gleaner editorially, "on the whole, if a rociptocal treaty with the United States could bo effected, this would be tho best possible solution of the economic problem, the general belief being that England and tho United States aro bound to come to some antis, factory commercial arrangement about the Wet Indies, 'without a dieturbdnee of the political status quo. Tho proposal for Canadian incorporation is, however, be- fore the nubile and we invite expressions of opinion from the population." WRECKED BY A RAILWAY TIE.

Tho spe;ial in charge of Conductor Davidson was com- ing east when a sleeper was observed across the track. Tho driver, E. Hay- ward, immediately reversed his engine, but it was too late. Tho locomotive was derailed and fell over into tho ditch with seven cars piled on top of it. An oil tank car caught fire and ex- ploded and set the wrook in flames. Driver E. Hayward and Fireman Geoiire Smith were both in the wreck, and how they managed to crawl out is a mystery. Brakeman James Harvey was badly bruised. The whale wreck and contents were destroyed by fire. Tho sleeper was evidently placed on the track for a pur- pose which was accomplished. A11 the injured men belong to Moncton. The Winnipeg Mystery. Winnipeg, Oct. 11,—Molsons Bank robbery is still a mystery, the detectives being at a loss to know in what direction to look for a clue. With regard to the statement that the entire staff would be dismissed, a delegation including some of the most prominent citizens waited upon the manager and Inspector Durn- ford, asking that no member of the bank staff be dismissed without an absolute proof of guilt. The inspootor said he would make this representation at bead. quarters. Episcopalians for Alliance. Washington, Oct. 11.—There was no abatement yesterday in the public inter• est attending the triennial council of the Episcopal Church. Among the resolu- tions presented and referred was one ex- pressing thanks for the sympathy of Great Britain toward this Governmens during the recent war with Spain, and hoping the time would come when the two great nations would stand "shoulder to shoulder and flag to flag" in the pro- gress of the world.
