Carley of Strange, who are buth quite iil. The committee for securing homes fur delegates to the convention has been quite successful. and there will be ample accommudulian for all who attend. A sleigh-load from hereattenfled the hockey match and carnival at Rich- mond Hilton Mnndny night. Mrs. Leeds Richardsun was visiting with friends in Aurora from Saturday till Monday. _ by bnlh'sides, the dgcisiufi w as a, tie. Quite a large number attended the meeting of the Epwm-Lh League nu Monday night to hear the debate, ” Resolved that the power of the Pul- uit has been greater than that of the ress." The sevakeI-s fur the affirm- ative were 0. (Jhestuut. \V. Robinson and G. H. Byzun. while the negative was upheld by H. Gordon, J. R.Camp- hell and \V. Thoibuiu. The judges were Rev. S. W. Dean. Mr. Leeds Richardson and Mr. \V.Kefl'vr. Aft< 1- curefully considering {he points made by hn'th sides, the decision was given The husband of Carrie Nation who has become notorious throughout the world as a smasher of saloon proper- ty seems to look upon his wife’s cs- capades with perfect composure. He expresses the opinion that the law cannot interfere with her, and if she happened to get roughly handled in a melee the chances are he would not even then lose his equilibrium. Carrie is one of the Wonders of the 20th century. The liquor law recently passed by the Manitoba Legislature has been declared by the highest court in the Province to be unconstitutional. This decision will cause much disappoint- ment, not only to the temperance people of Manitoba, but to the whole Dominion. Had it been shown that the Province had power to pass such an Act, it might have been a success, as public opinion in Manitoba :‘p- pea-rs to be overwhelmingly in favor of prohibition. The vote in 1892 showed that 19,637 were for and only 7,115 against such a measure. In the Dominion plebiscite a little over two years ago the vote was 12,- 419 for, and 2,978 against prohibi- tion. Under such circumstances it seems unfortunate that Provincial‘ prohibition could not have been given . a. fair trial. In all probability thej case will be appealed to the Privy" Council. Although nothing has yet been settled either’by the Dominion or the Imperial Government as to whether the 24th of May is to continue to be a. public holiday, it is more than likely that the day will be kept as heretofore for many years to come. No other time of the year appears to be so well adapted for a holiday as the latter part of May. For the past. few years Empire Day has been ob- ‘ served on the 23rd of May by the‘ school children. Why not change this to the 24th, and go on as before ? The birthday of our late beloved queen will long be remembered by her faithful subjects. No demonstra~ tion is necessary to perpetuate her good name. But a holiday about the 24th of May has grown to be al- most a necessity in Canada. It will be tolerany safe, therefore, for towns and villages to proceed with their arrangements for an annual celebra- tion as in former years. RICHMOND HILL. February 28, 1901 Ogauge-l FL C.

The programme was opened by a short adâ€" dress from the chairman in which he pointed out that the. three things necessary for the success of a young man were: lst. hard work ; 2nd, good companions; 3rd, good books. All the numbers mentioned on the pos- ters were-carried out to the letter, the three dialogues being highly approviâ€" ated by the nudienee.
