THE MOCK„ TRIAL.
Talking about a "bumper house"
surely that was one which gathered to
hear the Mock Court '1'rtaI on Tues-
dayevening. Not a seat vacant.
Indeed, `twas said some of,. them'
were sold tw'
viae
but if char
t was the
ease provision was made' for the
"extras" as no one seemed to have
been ejected,. except suffragettes and
reluctant jurymen.
II At the hour for the' opening _of the
Court His Honor, Judge Hoover, in
wig and gown, Clerk Rance, Court
Officer Axon, Court Ceier Yates; the
plaintiff's attorney, Col. A. V. New-
ton of Worcester, Mass., defendant's
attorney, Mr. John Ransford, the lat-
ter two wearing . gowns and the
Latter a most becoming wig,
with the plaintiff; Mrs,
Jerusha Rugg Perkins, (Miss May
Rance) the defendent, Mr. F. T.
Jackson, and the witnesses, Miss
Jerusha •Rae Perkins, (Miss M. E,
Chidiey), Miss McIver, Rev. C. P.
Jeakins, Mayor Gibbings, and Dr.
Shaw, filed into the room and took
their places. Also the. jurymen, Mes-
srs. C. E. .Dowding, J. Hunter, W.

The defendant's attorney objected
to many of the jurymen on various
grounds, tiie judge over ruling.the ob-
jections. When the name of Mr, T.
Jackson was called he arose from
his place in the audiertse and said
he, didn't wish to serve, that he
had come to hear the trial, he was
with his wife and some friends and
didn't wish to act. The judge said
if be had no more valid reason for
his objection lie would have to act
but Mr. Jackson refused and His
Honor ordered his arrest for con-
tempt of court. Chief Wheatley and
Serjeant Welsh at once proceeded to
arrest bine and after a hard fight, in
which an electric light bulb and on
of the - registers were smash
ed, they succeeded in removing flim

A little diversion was here caused
by the invasion of the court room
by a suffragette shouting, "Votes
For Women," and with banners pro-

slogan, The lady was veiled and

When order was again restored the

'rreach of Promise case was brought
on, Mrs. Perkins first taking the
witness stand and telling a pathetic
tale of the manner in which she had
been treated by the defendant. Rev.
Mr. Jeakins and Miss McIvor, sup-
possed to be boarders at "Perkins'
Paradise," were also examined, the
latter getting somewhat mixed and
finally admitting that she didn't
know oe which side she was testify-
:ing. Some .'letters addressed to.
"Jerusha R. Perkins

in as evidence.

box and threw some light on the al -

'Hie spacious home of Mr. and
Mrs. D. S. Cleft was the scene of a
very pretty wedding yesterday af-
ternoon when their second daughter,
Della, was married to Dr. C. J. Mc-
Bride of Welland.
'I'hc ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Dr. Rutledge of Wingham
and was witnessed only by immediate
relatives and friends of the contract-
ing parties.
'rhe bride, who was given away
by hes father, wore her travelling
costume, a handsome shit of black
and white whipcord and a lovely,
large picture hat of black French
beaver With touches of orange. She
also wore the groom's gift, a hand-
some set of mink furs, and a cor-
sage boquet of violets and lily -of
the -valley. The bridal pair stood
before a beautiful hank of - palms,
ferns, and lovely mauve and white
'mums in the drawing -room.:
They were e unattend d.

groom, played the wedding music.

where luncheon was served; The din-
ing room was beautifully ' decorated,
with flowers Over the table lung a
basket of exquisite 'means artistically
arranged, while small baskets of viol-

ated by Miss Perkins and other wit-
inesscs, the case began to look bad
for the the lens widow.
The addresses to the jury of the
lawyers were masterpieces of elo-
qucnce, the counsel For the defendant
urging the jury as -men to "stand to-
gether in defence of the sex,'" aril
the counsel for the plaintiff pleading
for "the widow." The judge's charge
was strongly for the plaintiff and af-
ter a Very short absence the jury re-
turned and Mr, C. E. Dowding, the
foreman,
announce '
dthat a
t th ey had
found for the plaintiff, ,the damages
being fixed at $3,49, "Three dollars
for, the, 'ur `• n -fo •
1 y and forty-nine centsfor
the judge," he concluded, which
seemed to the average person pre-
senta somewhat discouraging find-
ing for widows. It will probably
have a tendency to discourage such
actions.
However, the end was served. Ev-
erybody present Ii54 a good . laugh,
and manyof them.
The parts taken ,by the different
actors were performed n excellent
manner 'There were too many to

TIIL.Y WILL WONDER.
There seems to be a somewhat el:
ronous idea abroad in some quarters
in regard to the new rural delivery
service now being generally installed
in the surrounding townships. Many
seem to have the idea that those 01511-
ing boxes will be obliged to maintain
the service, that is pay the carrier,
etc,. This idea is entirely wrong.
The only cost to those being
benefitted is the outlay. for the
box, that is three dollars. The
carriers will be paid by the Govern-
ment just as other mail carriers aro
being paid at present, The rural
delivery s r is
an added
Y convenience
which lh ch id fifty ty years from now the
people will have become so accustom-
ed to that they ss'ill wonder how
their grandfathers ever got along
without it,
1IURON COULD LEAD ALL.
Mr. David Cantelon, the "Apple
King," has been keeping up his re-
putation with regard to shipments
and has just finished for the
season. He is a little later than
usual owing to the unfavorable
weather and scarcity of help.
For export ro cite Old Coun-
try Mr. Cantelon' shipped 7,115 bar-
rels ; to Manitoba and the west, 7,-
670 • barrels ; to Montreal, 671 ; to
Toronto, 1,500, and to New Ontario,
1,000 barrels. Of this quantity' eigh-
ty percent. were winter apples and
they were. ali bought within a radius
of twelve miles of Clinton, and
from this station a!olne 12,000
barrels were shipped. It May not
be generally known that Clinton is
the largest export station for apples
in the county of Huron.
Mr. Cantelon is sure that if the
orchardists of Iluron camel only be
persuaded to spray and care for
their orchards ' this old county
couldn't he beaten either for quanti-
ty or quality of its apples and he
hopes the time is coming when 'FIur-
on will come into her own in this
respect. ,

c e us were much shocked
h
on Monday last to hear of the ser-
ious illness of Miss ,I9'nima' Smith or
Stratford, formerly of Clinton.' A
few had been aware the previous
week that she was ill but it was not
until • Sunday that the word came
that hope of her recovery was very.
small, Her illness carte suddenly, as
is the nature, of the disease, spinal
meningitis, as she was going about
her duties apparently/ in her usual
health until the day before she was
stricken, but she never seemed to
rally after the first appearance of the.
disease.
The deceased young lady was a na-
tive of Clintons, being a daughter of
Mrs. 'T.lit t e
Smith and she
had lived
here 'practically all her life, the fam-
ily having only removed to Stratford
in February last, She wasa member,
ofOntario street church and a tea-
cher in. the Sunday school until her
departure from town.
She was also a bright and inter-

who greatly regret her early taking

year in the school room instead of
the town hall, but it was neverthe-
less very ,successful The ladies

enthusiasm which characterized - their
former efforts and, the result was
. the same proportion of success, The
school room looked very festive and
cheerful with the daintily arranged
booths containing Irony and various
articles for use and ornament offered
for sale. The fancy work table was
presided, over by the Misses Doan,
Mrs. Hovey, Mrs, Il, B. Combe and

Twenty Years ` an Elder of
Willis Church.
Mr. James Walkinshaw.
'James Walkinshaw, a well known
and highly respected citizen of town, •
on the ' last clay of November cele-
brated his seventy-fiIIhm birthday,
Mr. Walkinshaw is a native of
Scotland, having been born near the
town of Lanark, Lanarkshire, which
is situated' about midway between
Edinburgh and Glasgow, about twen-
ty-six cmiles from each. Li 185.0 the '
fancily carte to Canada, settling- in
a good Scotch settlement near the
town of Galt, in which town Mr.
Walkinshaw attended school during
his residence there.
Five years later the family came
to Huron, settling on lot 13 on the
2ntl con. of Mullett, the farm now
occupied by lir. Cleo. Manan, and
there Mt. Walkirssl,aw continued to
reside until about seyenteen years
ago when he left the farm and took
up his residence in Clinton.
Mr. Walkinshaw once visited Scot-
land

C
when9
in 18 G he went over to the
land of the heather in 00017any
with the late James Fair.
In the year 1857 Mt. Walkinshaw
identified himself with the Presbyter-
ian Church aucl has remained a re-
gular member of the communion, ev-
er since. For the past twenty
years he has served in Willis church
as an elder„ Not only he but his
wife and daughters are active • and
valued workers in the Willis congre-
gation.
Mr'. Welkinsihaw was a member of
the Willis congregation when the late'
Rev. Wm.' Graham of - Egmondville
first supplied preaching here' and he
heard the first sctmon preached by
the late Rev, Dr, Macdonald as the
first pastor of this church,
In those early days the congrega-
tion did not worship in so commo-
dious and comfortable an edifice as
the present one. The structure
which then
did duty: as a church
was of crude design ; rough planks
supported by blocks formed the
seats and the candle and the tal-
low dip was the only means of
illumination: Nevertheless: the gos-
pel was the sante ; it conveyed the
salve comfort and strength to the
willing' hearer and it was- presented
with eloquence and power by the
staunch
and' sturdy heralds ds of the
cross in those early days tvhcii this
country was in its first youth.'
Mr Walkinshaw has vivid collec-
tions of the
earl d

and while

!sappy incidents and experiences, he
fully appreciates the advantages of
the present time.
During his residence in Clinton Mr.
Walkinshaw has won the respect of
all classes of people. For the past
eight years' he has been caretaker
of the postoffice"and it would indeed
be difficult to find anyone `better fit-
ted for the. position, ;': one who would
keep the whole premises in better
order during the cantire year, or who
would be so uniformly obliging and
courteous to all with whom he has
o deal.
