F. Pirie editor of the Dundas. Banner, who in a moment of mental deraagement,brought on by brooding upon the death of his faithful wife over a year ago, rashly attempted his own life, on Saturday eveniug, with what will probably prove all too great success. Mr. Pirie was a bailliaut journalist, a public speaker of more than passing eloquence, and as de- cent a fellow as ever drove a quill in Canada. The following story from an excltange would have proven quite meaningless a century ago. The coatless pian puts a careless arm around the waist of a hat- less girl, as over the dustless and mud - less road in a horseless carriage they whirl. Like a leadless 'bullet from a harmless gun by smokeless powder driven, they fly to taste the speechless joy by endless union given. Though the only lunch his coiuless purse affords to them the means, is a tasteless meal of boneless cod with a dish of stringless Beans; he puffs a tobaocoless cigarette and laughs a mirthless laugh when papa tries to coax her back by wireless tele- graph.

ELLIOTT, PrrammtER AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, AUG. 13, 1903. NOTES AND COMMENTS. ce Sir Ed. H. Carson, Solicitor -General for Englaud, has been appointed senior Su counsel for Canada on the Alaska tri - 13t 'banal, in place of Hon. Edward Blake, who has been obliged to retire owing to b • illness. The number of Chinese who entered in Canada during the fiscal year which iu ended on Jane 30tb last on pay - m meat of a poli tax was 5,229, and the re - til venue received was $522,900. This is an be increase of 1,741 in the number and at $172,150 in amount of revenue over last tic year. as : The bosses may work np all the Gamey An Guzzles they choose, and spend the $I party's money iu feeding the faithful cu drummed up for the occasion, and the Pr World may devote columns to smooth- Taf ing'down the far of the political badger; but decent Canadians will feel no seuti- meut toward Gameyism but disgust. - Ot Hamilton Times. bil • •' The report of the game commission of • Ontario for 1902 is at hand. It reports ua 2,286 deer killed during the season, tel shipped by the Canadian Express Co., w'i and 240 shipped by the Dominion Ex- ult press Co. Forty fine moose were shot; Ta 181 wolves were killed during 1902 at a Cc cost to the Government and municipali- ,ties of $2,715. The bounty of $50 per &head seems to be ridding the country of th; wolves. all Mr. John F.Mackay,of the Woodstock sii;Sentinel-Review, has been appointed ., business manager of the Toronto Globe, sa great prize in Canadian newspaperdom. mgr. Mackay is a young man, but he is one of the brightest in the business, and. is personally very likeable. He began bis career in Woodstock, but has had the advantage of several years' experience n the Montreal Herald, returning to oodstock to take a 'partnership iu the ntinel-Review. King Edward has taken action which 11 greatly please loyal teetotalers. A Oval officer wrote to his majstey asking in if he would issue an order tha ben his health was toasted it need not drank in wine. The King replied ugh his secretary that the Lord of frailty probably would not like his terferring by issuing orders, but he uld be glad to have it circulated pri- ely that he considered a toast as oh honored by those drinking it in ter as by those using wine. Pointed Paragraphs. . From the Chicago News. More than physical culture is required to make a man strong-minded. A woman isn't necessarily a dream be- cause she happeus to be coutrary. Many a wife iu after years is sorry that she didn't stick to her $6 a -week job. About three minutes after starting an argument with a woman a man realizes that he is lost. A young boy never misses what he throws at unless there is a largo pane of glass just back of his target. It is taking an unfair advantage of a Russiau to ask him to pronounce his name when he has been drinking. Nothing makes a woman so mad as to have a man she dislikes refuse to give her an opportunity to tura him down. When a man gazes heavenward and sees two moons he is not in a proper• frame of mind Co make weather predic- tions. Don't get the idea into your head that a woman is more economical than a man just because her waist is smaller. As a rule women are more liberal than men. The wife who has a mind of her own is continually giving her hus- baud pieces of it. n like the Probably nothing jars a ma discovery that ho has been sucking a suspender button for ten minutes under the impression that it's a cough lozenge. An old bachelor invariably speaks of a baby as "it." One of the laws of gravity is never to laugh at your own jokes. The World's Opinion. (Ottawa Journal.) The man whe enters middle age and' Las not an income of twelve baadre d dollars a year or above as considered a failure. That a man Without money is a failure has been taken for granted so long that it is hardly ever questioned 'now. A man may be brilliant and witty, may be a good companion, a good friqud, but if he has uot the ability to buy a yard of tape at a certain figura, and sell, it at a greater figure, the average man in his heart considers him a failure. There are many tuore admirable men- tal qualities than acquisitiveness, and it is a pity that modern conditions are such that commercial ability is the criterion of failure and success. Poverty is hard, but there are many rich souls who would sot miud its . de- privations:were it not for the privations, were it not for the itnbitteeing thought that because of this one lack the -world placed them iu the category of failures. The world loses much because it elim- inates the poor man from its considera- tion. CHURCH NOTES, Rev. Dr Pascoe, a former pastor of the Methodist church here was supply- ing tor Rev. S.

Knox Church at Kincardine recently celebrated its jubilee, and also the semi - jubilee of the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Murray. The services were. conducted by the Rev.

The total run comprised 30 loads, with 393 head of cattle, 364 sheep and lambs, 362 hogs and 20 calves. There was some delay in the delivery of the cattle in the marked;, and this had the effect of putting a damper on busi- ness for a while, a few ' buyers leaving the market. After very heavy buying last week there is not much doing in the export trade this week, due in part to the fact that prices are lower in England. There is in consequence but few export cattle offering, and the demand is light. Thele is a fair demand for butchers' cattle and for light export, but scarcely auy of the latter class offering. Eighty car loads of live stock were in the Union stook yards for to -day's mar- ket. About 30 cars'came by the C. P. R. About 1,560 cattle, 400 sheep, 88 hogs and 20 calves were in the market. A large number of drovers were on han d but business did not come •up to stan- dard of the two preooeding Tuesdays . Prices were generally firm, exporters be- ing slightly,easier and batohers' cattle selling at stronger prices. • The following are the quotations: His Claim For a Pension. Saturday. Evening Post: The pension hunters give thousands of reasons why Government bounty should be extended to them. Commissioner Ware thought he knew them all, but he received a day or two ago from a battle -scarred veteran who advanced a new proposition that he intends to have framed.

What is said to have been the worst gang of burglars who have operated in Toronto since the capture of the Rice - Rutledge crowd, were surprised on Mon- day while engaged in robbing a home in the Rosedale section of the city. The gang included young Quackeuboah, who escaped from. the Centrat last month. There Were four in the party, and all were taken but one. The burglars were armed with loaded revolvers, but there was no shooting, all surrendering quietly when faced by a levelled revolver in the hands of Detective p'orrett. 650 6 25 3 25 2 50 2 25 450 200 " 1 had a very severe sickness that took off all my hair.
