On Thursday and Friday of last week
the East heron Full 1?,xhibition was hold
on the Targe Fair grounds in Bruseel'e aid
woe the best show ever held here. The
inside department, particularly the
exhibit of grain, foots, vngetabfee trod
Resit was really wanderfnt and persons
who visited the Industrial and Western
Fairs Bay many of the classes were not

being the only ones who took the trouble
to assist) in this ;natter. There was
soma little annoyance occasioned by the
non-appearance of promised judges, On
Thursday evening a large number of
sightseers visited the "Palace." Friday
was 8beautiful day and from early
morning until one o'clock the people
carne from the North, South, East and
West and when the judging aommeneed
at 1 o'clock thorn were upwards of 3,500
people on the show grounds. There
was a splendid exhibit of horses, partic-
ularly Dolts, cattle, sheep, pigs and pouf.
try, and the judges had no easy position
in making the awards in some classes.
Instead of the sports ontliaed on tho bi
there was a mile trotting race between
equines owned by 1'. Anent, P. Soots
and B, Garry, who finished in the above
order, and a half a mile dash, two heats,
in which horses belonging to P. S. Scott,
Beattie Bros. and Geo. Broker took part
and passed under the wire as stated
above. The gate receipts were upwards
of 0200. When the grounds are properly
levelled, new sheds and pens eructed and
offices fitted up, there will be no better
arranged or commodious exhibition park
in the county. Tho display of well bred
cattle was well worthy of the men who
owned the excellent stook. D. Milne, of
Ethel, a well know stockman, Bemired
the Silver Medal for the best herd.

l\'AB0IN0TON, Sept., 3t, '01,
Less than 91,000,000 in currency avail-
able for business iu the vaults of the
National 'Treasury is the condition which
confronted treasury °Maio's this week.
The net balance as shown by the treasury
statement is 946,000,000. Included in
this is 914,000,000 in bank depositories
and 917,000,000 in subsidiary silver, leav-
fug the available balance of the Treasury
and all the sub.treasuries between 913,-
000,000 and 914,000,000. This statement
does not include the 9100,000,000 gold re•
serve which Secretary Foster has stated
at various times he could vee 111 ease of
necessity. It is stated on good authority
that during the present week treasury
officials have had to "hustle" to get to-
gether sufficient currency to 111008 de-
mand drafts. This stringency in our-
renoy is brought about by the rademp•
tion of 4} per cent, bonde,more than 910,-
000,000 of which have been redeemed
during the present month, and oleo to
the fulling off of customs receipts, which
show a decrease of about 30 per oent.
during the present mouth over the same
month last year. Pension payments
have also figured in reduoing the avail•
able currency, 97,500,003 having been
paid out on this account.
The request of the Republicans of Cali•
fornix that they be given representation
in the Cabinet is not regarded in politi-

On the contrary there are many reasons
why it would be a benefit to the country

potent men who reside on the Pacific
coast, and particularly California has
earned such recognition. Last year when
the Democratic tidal wave swept over
the ooentry California was one of the
few blight spots in the vast desert. But
there are other and more cogent reasoue
why the Pauilo Slope might be grouted
the representation it asks. Its shipping
oommunioation with the countries with
whish the U. S. Government desires to
increase commercial relations has long
been established and for this reason it
would be desirable to have a member of
the Cabinet who is interested in
farther developing such relations. The
President will undoubtedly give the
claims of the Californians serious consid-
eration.

1891
In his annual report to the Sooretary
of tho Interior, submitted yesterday,
Commissioner Baum ahmvs that on June
90, 1801, there were 670,100 pensioners
on the roll of the bureau, 198,210 more
than last year. The total amount dis-
bursed on amount of pensions, expenses.
&c., during the 'fecal year Was 9118,548,-
959.71, as compared with 9103,403,800,19
disbursed during the preceding fiscal year.
It is estimated that of the soldiers who
served the country during the late war
1,00431118 were killed in battle or died
during and since the war. There are
about 1,208,707 soldiers of the Union
now living ; and of the survivors 520,.
168 are now on the pension rolls. There
are, therefore, 688,049 survivors who aro

elation, and last, but nut least, the zeal.
mus efforts of the Womens' Missionary
auxiliary, have all borne good fruit. A
diouesau Murcia workers and Sunday
school convention, to be held at St.
Thomas ou the 28011 and 29th inst, under
the presidency of the bishop of the dio-
cese, is an outcome of these movements.
'1'he annual meeting of the Lay Workers'
aeeooiation takes plane at the same time.
The two Anglican congregations in St.
'Phomas are making preparations to give
the visitors a hospitable reception, and
the railways are offering liberal rates.
An excellent programme is in course of
preparation. Among other speakers or
coutrlbutore of papers will be 0. R, W.
Biggar, of Wm:onto, who will espemally
present the Sunday school question, while
Rev. R. Ker,of St.Oetherinos will critioise
our existing Sunday schools with his
wonted ability. Charles Jenkins, of Pet.
rolia, one of the ablest Anglican uhuroh•
men in Canada, gives an address on lay
help, and Rnral Dari Mackenzie, of
Brantford, will read a paper on its prao•
tioal aepeots. A delegation from the
council of the St. Andrew's Brotherhood
will attend, and deal particularly with
the duty of young men to the ohuroh.
It is hoped, too, that a lady repreeenta-
tfve of the mission cause and another
laay engaged in Sunday sobool teaohing
a ill favor the uunvention with papers.

church, Chatham, whose Sunday' school
is the largest in the diocese, and Jasper
Golden, one of the oldest and most faith.
fol of Sunday school teachers and lay
readers, will discuss Sunday school work

profitable feature in the arrangmeuts Will
be aspecial service to be held in Trinity
°hnren, St Thomas, on the evening of
the 28th feet, when the B1ellop of Enron
will deliver an address on °hatch work.
The programme, when issued, will no

workers who will take part in the pro.
meetings. The bishop has issued a pastor-

Imagine her amazement and terror to
see a man jump from under the table
with a pillow in one hand and a revolver
in the other. The villain made straight

knocked the revolver out of his hand and
grappled with him. The ohaira, tables,
