t
Their Waterworks Pay.
The town of Waterloo contains
about 3,000 people, nearly all shrewd,
industrious and intelligent Germans.
The fifth annual report of the Water-
loo Waterworks system shows that
the total revenue from the water-
works for the year 1005, was $7008.22,
and the expenditure $2712.07, leaving
a net balance to the credit of the town
of $4296,15. The report is given in
much detail and shows what a finan-
cial showing can be made by capable
management of arch a public utility
as waterworks. The record is also a
strong point in favor of public owner-
ship of such utilities as waterworks,
telephone, telegraph and street rail-
way lines.
Teaching As A Profession.
The Kincardine Review says :-"To
show how little of a profession school
teaching is, it is only necessary to
state tiro following fact :-Mr. Chis-
holm became Inspector of Pablto
Schools in West Bruce in April 1002.
There were then 85 rural school teach-
ers in his Inspectorate. How many
of these statno teachers are teaching in
these schools now ? Only one! Two of
these schools had eight teachers each
in those four years. Something must
be done to improve conditions in our
public schools and the status of public
school teachers. The Minister of Edu-
cation has endeavored to remedy the
difficulty by abolishing the model
schools and making one-year terms in
the Normal Schools a condition pre-
cedent to teaching. 'That course
Would ensure a better class of trained
teachers and would indicate an inten-
tion on the part of candidates to re-
main in the profession,"

Warning To The Government.
Postmaster Fisher of Wingham has
for many years been a faithful public
servant, attentive to his duties, and
courteous to the public. Notwith-
standing this feet, and the very high
esteem in which he is held, we have it
on the best authority, that the Do-
minion Government has decided, ere
many months roll by, to make it
rather warm (if not hot) for hint. As
a proof of this statement, we may say,
that the heating apparatus is being
installed in the new postofiice this
week. We warn the Government that
they bad better be careful, and not
make it uncomfortable for Wingham's
esteemed postmaster, or they may go
out of office before the century closes.
Business Change.
Dr. W. T. Holloway has disposed of
his Dental practice to Dr. Price, of
Orangeville, who bas already taken
charge of the business. Dr. Holloway
intends taking a post -graduate course
in Chicago, before deciding on a new
location. He has been an excellent
citizen, and will be missed in St.
Paul's Church, where he was recently
appointed Vestry Clerk, and in Court
Maitland O. 0. F., of which he has
been Financial Secretary and an
active worker. He and Mrs. Hol-
loway, who also has made many
friends in Wingham, will have the
best wishes of our citizens for their
future welfare. The Advance extends
a cordial welcome to his successor, Dr.
Price, and hopes that he will find
Wingham as others have found it, a
very congenial place of residence.

Enlarging Factory.
Walker & Clegg are adding a fourth

The Earthquake Shock.
Mrs. Lloyd, sen., has a letter from
her sons, who reside in Oakland, just
across the bay from the ill-fated city
of San Francisco, and we make a few
extracts from it, that may be of in-
terest to our readers. The writer
says -"Even in Oakland, very few
chimneys are left standing, and quite
a number of the finest business blocks
were so shattered, they will have to
be taken down. No one can fully
cotnprehencl the awful state of affairs
in Frisco. Hundreds of people were
burned to death after the buildings
collapsed. Hundreds of buildings
were blown up to stay the progress of
the flames, but to no avail. The
latest reports estimate the loss at 400
million dollars, and fully 1,000 people
killed, but it will never be known how
many lost their lives, as two of the
bnened districts were very thickly
populated with people of all nationali-
ties. Chinatown was completely
wiped oat, which perhaps twits a good
thing, as it was an awful place.
There was a great rash to Oakland,
and. as many as 40,000 people were
handled by the Relief committee in
one day. Just imagine the awfnl-
ness of the feeling to go through an
earthquake. Only 28 seconds made
havoc of Frisco and neighboring
towns, bat it seemed that nntny minu-
tes, We were in bed, and woke up to
find the house shaking, jumping up
and clown, and swaying around. We
thought it would tomo clown on oi'
heads, so the got out in our night-
clothes. When we got down to the
street, the shock was over, but Frisco
was in rains. When we came to look
around the house, everything break-
able was in pieces. My old fiddle was
on the piano, but it was thrown half-
way across the room and broken, and
the plaster on the parlor bulged out,

ger and better than over. Already

He Won't Quit.
This is the way Mr. Humble, editor
of the Southampton Beacon, gets back
at some of the citizens of the town he
lives in :-"It is no secret that certain
individuals in Southampton would
glory in our downfall. We know
these gentlemen and are just vain
enough to believe that we can meet
their tactics and give then a Roland
for an Oliver. Don't forget it, the
Beacon is here to stay, and all the
devils in hell can't dislodge us unless
we are disposed. Tho Beacon has re-
sources and staying powers that some
of you little dream of. If you cannot
take a joke such as appeared last
week, it's tune your thin skins were
perforated a little. You'll get used to
it before we quit, Mayor Belcher in-

An Aged Printer.
Mr. Edwin Holmes, who, barring
Sir Mackenzie Bowell, perhaps was
the oldest printer in Canada, died at
his home in St. Catharines on April
20th, aged. 83. Mr. Holmes was one of
the first typesetters on the Globe.
Robert Holmes, ex -M. P., of Huron,
is a son. The deceased was born in
England. He engaged in the printing
trade in St. Catharines for many years
and was known as a man who had set
type for sixty years. For many years
Mr, Holme conducted The Clinton
s
New Era, and for some years, he was
assistant librarian at the Legislature.
He was a man of exceptional vigor of
P g
mind and independence of character,
and while he acted generally with the
Liberal party, he often gave frank
and fearless expression to his own
opinions.

NOTE AND COMMENT.
-Eire in Toronto postofiic:e, on
Monday night caused a Ions of $20,000,
and the death of the engineer who
had charge of the heating of the
building.
--Americans pride themselves' on
• being progressive, and to sustain their
record, lest year they increased the
amount they spend in intoxicating
drinks to 1,650 million dollars, or fifty

necessities. New as the plaee is,

pull the chestnuts out of the fire, the

ble. There is no doubt that one of
Germany's most effective moves
against England in ease of war be-
tween these eonntries would be to
ar01180 the whole Moslem world
against Great Britain both in Irgyt
Y
and India. 1 ishoped however, ra t ra. i 11 1hat
