Thoughts.
If there is any season in hich the
average steady -going mat is liable
to do, say or think abott matters
generally in a careless thanner, it
surely is the season when the collar
lies wilted, the handkerchief will
absorb no more moisture, and a man
has that tired feeling. -
It is just at a time like this that
people make foolish, careless pur-
chases.; nhile on the other hand,
they:often misiavhat is a chance or
. a genuine drive in something that
would be useful and good value.
In offering our Straw Hats at great-
ly reduced figures, no great splurge
is made, yet there is not a hat offer-
ed but that is a snap. Prices are
not quoted, because hats range in
price from 7e to $2.25.
What is applicable to our Hats,
also applies to Summer Shirts. We
are clearing oat a few odd lines,
and if your size is among them, we'
are satisfied the prices and patterns

TEMpERANCE WORKERS..
,
The bigProhibition Convention, called by
• the. Ontario Alliance and held in Toronto on
Thursday and Friday last, was a success in
so far as attendance was concerned, there
being between four and five hundred dele-
gates present. But the meeting was not so
s ers of the temperance cause
harmonious, a . , therefore not so successful
as the well-wi
could desire, and the opinion was freely ex-
• pressed by delegates that it had done more'.
harm than good. The blame for this result
was laid by the vast majority of the mem-
bere-of the convention at the door • of the
• Hamilton delegation, clerical and hay. This
element 'was regarded as disaffected,
and was headed by Messrs. W. W. Buchanan
and Fred.1W. Watkins, who were unsuc-
cessful Parliamentary candidates in Hamil-
ton in the !recent Federal elections. They
came down from Hamilton with their sup-
porters with the avowed intention of making
it unconafortable in the convention for Hon:
Geo. W. Ross, who had spoken in the inter-
est of the Liberal candidates dating the
campaign, and had done very much towards
electing those two supporters of MaLaurier.
Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Watkins, regarding
this action of the Minister ef Education, in
speaking for the Liberal nominees when such
good prohibitionists as they were in the
contest, as, little short of !treachery to the
' temperance cause, inoculated the rest of the
Hamilton delegation with their owu views,
and succeeded in marshalling a considerable
company in the convention. ia hostility to
Mr. Ross. The fight for which they had
prepared themselves came off on Friday fore.
noon and was waged with a virulence which
would hardly have been expected in an or-
ganization devoted to the high principle of
eliminating one of the worst etvils of society.
Speakers were constantly and continually
interrupted, and it wasenly by the excel-
lent management of Mayor Fleming; of To-
ronto who was in the chair, that any rea-
sonable order was maintained. The dele-
gates from Hamilton made their onslaught
on Mr. Ross'but their aim was too patent
from the first. They moved to exclude him
from the list of vice-presidents,whichmeant
reading him eat of the alliance. la speak-
• ing of' 'the Minister of Education most of
his opponents conceded his great services to
the temperance cause, and moderated their
tone and language, even when referring to
that action which they condemned, but Rev,
B. B. Keefer had lie hesitation in using
strong language, and said that the Liberals,
in calling on Mr. Ross to go to Hamilton
and •speak against Messrs. Buchanan and
Watkins, "had summoned the one man who
could throw open the citadel and betray the
cause" of temperance. When the vote on
the proposal to exclude Mr. Ross was finally
taken, it was defeated by a majority of 217
in a total vote ef 401, the division being :
Yea, 92; nay, 309.
Rev. Mr. Kettlewell and Messrs. Bu-
cha.nan, Lees and Wrigley withdrew their
names' from the Eiecutive, alai will not
longer be members of the Allieqe and will,
likely, try to run a show of their own.
• LEGISLATION DESIRED.

ment.

spector in the local paper two weeks before

and the number of cOnidctions, made since
the license holder first received his license,
shall be recorded upon the face of the license;

.tion under the Liquor License Act shall,

, 11. That any license issued by theeaceme
rnissioners in non-compliance with the law,
shall, on .complaint and proof of any per-
son, be cancelled by the County Judge.
12. That in view of the great evils aris-
ing, especially to young men, from the sale
and distribution of intoxicating liquors in
clubs, the provisions of 'section 53 of the
License Act should be made hpplicable to
clubs and secieties incorperated otherwise
than under the Benevolent Societies Act;
and any such elubs as may now have the
right to sell or, distribute liquor should at
les,st be brought under the restrictions of
the License Act.

EAST HURON.
We give below the names of the success-
ful candidates at the recent public school
leaving and entrance examinations. In
deference to the opinion of the teachers of
East Huron, as expressed at the last Teach-
ers' Convention held at Seaforth, the marks
are not published. The marks have, how-
ever, been sent to every pupil who wrote.
A higher percentage of candidates •passed
this year than usual, owing to the facts
that the papers were very keasonable, and
that teachers have made a determined and
successful effort to keep back pupils who
444 • were not sufficiently advanced to write sue -
:601 cesGsfouodp
lly.
enmanahip and neatness of putting
464 • down answers on paper were the most
499 pleasing characteristics of this year's en -
448 trance and leaving examinations. -These
567 remarks di) riot apply to some outside can -
461 didates. ,
465 The Inspector wLhes us to convey to the
481 teachers his thanks for so cordially falling
4e5 in with hie wishes as regards penmanship,
496 neatness of work and the keeping back of
524 the weaker candidates.
431 The almbst universal use of the vertical
467 system has done much to improve the pen -
450 rnanship of the pupils, care should, how -
576 ever, be taken to prevent the vertical from
472 degenerating into back hand.
464: The post cards containing the marks of
524 candidates at public school leaving and en -
501 trance examinations, and the certificates of
427 the successful entrance candidates were
476 mailed on the 22nd of July. The certifi-
521 cates of those who passed the leaving will
517 be sent as soon as furnished by the Educe -
654 tion Department, sometime in November.

-An old man in Pembroke, who was
born blind, received his sight by the removal
of a cataract. When the bandage was first
removed, the patient started violently and
cried out as if with fear, and for a while
was quite nervous from the shock. For
the first time in his life he looked upon the
earth. The first thing he noticed was a
flock of wild *puree -ifs. In relating his
experience he said that he thought they
were teacups, although a few moments
afterwards he readily distinguished a
wateh which was shown to him. _ It -is sup-
posd that this recognition is owing to
the fact that he heard it ticking. The
blaze from a lamp excited the most lively
surprise in his mind. He had no idea what
it was, nd when it was brought near want-
ed to p,ck it up. When night approach-
ed upon' the day when he first used his eyes,
he was in a fright, fearing that he was
losing the sight that he had so woaderfully
found after sixty year of darkness.
