All who are in. doubt ;le to whether or not the Chautauqua which will appear in Winghaur in June will be a success or not should read this letter which is written by Dr. Price of Orangeville, and formerly of Wingham. Dr. R. C. Redmond Wingham, Ont. Dear Doctor: - I received your letter re "Chautauqua festival a few days ago, and am glad to say that I can speak in the highest terms of the programs the Chautauqua people gave us. Without exception, every pro- gram] of the six wee of a very high stand- ard, and some were even worth the price of admission fur the whole series. From the standpoint of what you will get from the company you may be perfectly con- fident that they will live up to a high reputation; and perform their end of the contract with perfect satisfaction, As to the financial side, being a new movement in Eastern Canada, and their work and reputation being little known to us, we had a little difficulty this spring in selling our series tickets, but that diffi- culty will never be met again.,' Our people won't let the chance slip of hearing again the kind of talent the Chautauqua organ- ization brought here last week. The com- mittee were so well satisfied that they have entered heartily into a new contract for this fall, with double the number of signatures on the contract. The Chautauqua festival is certainly the finest thing of its kind that has ever been brought here. . If you can get the townspeople talking about it and realizing that it is really what it claims to be, a wonderful oppor- tunity for improvement, you should have no difficulty in disposing of your series tickets. Eleven such programs at $2.00 is extraordinary. I do not know how they can do it. Yours sincerely, W. J.

Morphy proud to be a Member of the Order onQuebec riots In the debate the several French members made insulting references to the Orange Order, to which H. B. Morphy, M. P. for North Perth, Deputy Grand Master of British America replied as follows. - •'I have listened to all the unpleasant things that could be said about o t the Orangemen of Ontario. I happen to be a member of the Orange Order, and I am very proud of it, because, I want to tell the hon. gentlemen, in the Dominion of Canada, nay, in the world there is no Order that has gone to the front as loyal- ly and patriotically as the members of the Orange Order in Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Orange Order in Canada needs no apology. Its motto is a splendid one: "Fear God, -love the Brotherhood and honor the King. They are not the fanatics they are painted; the constitution of the Orange Order as- sures the same liberty to bon. gentlemen from -the Province -of Quebec as they forthemselves, wish thems 1 es, I w h the hon. are to understand that we a e not the "Orangiste fanatiques" that we hear so much about;' we are merely men of flesh and blood and kindly instincts. The sort of remark thrown across the floor of the house is done to my mind, for a purpose, and what good purpose can be served by it is very difficult to say, but it ill behooves men sitting upon the other side of the House, who preach against fanaticism in such a way as to antagonize while at the same time praying for a con - census of opinion and for union, to throw these taunts across the floor. "There have been something like 75- 000 Orangemen who have gone to this war, not a mean number. Are they to be condemned because they are fighting for our liberties and yours? What is there about the order that it should be made the butt of and subjected to such attacks? It would be better for hon. gentlemen to look at home for the reasons of the trouble," ; 1171e 474 Store', AVE FUEL Use Electrical Appliances Electric Heaters Take the chill off a room and save lighting the furnace or stove.
