[" Bateblished 1897 SHERBROOKE, QUE., THURSDAY, JULY 24 1913.ONE SWEEPING CHANGES ADOPTED DY THE CITY COUNCIL Act on the Report of the Auditors.Appointment of Officials in Various Departments to be Cancelled.Mr.F.J.Griffith Will be City Clerk, and an Official Will be Appointed to Have Full Charge of Finances of the Departments.Aldermen Adopt Recommendations Unanimously.The long expected discussion by the City Council on the Auditors\u2019 report took place last night\u2014but behind closed doors.The members of th?Council began to arrive soon after 8 o\u2019clock and by half-past eight every member was present.Acting upon a suggestion that they should adjourn for \u201cfive minutes,\u201d they retired to the inner chamber and were closeted there for an hour and a half.Several of the citizens had come down to the Council Chamber to watch the proceedings and they expressed their disapproval in a very forcible manner of the method adopted by the Council in discussing the city\u2019s affairs.At ten o\u2019clock the Aldermen re-entered the Council Chamber, and it at once became evident that something of a surprising or sensational character was about to take place.These expectations were realized, for following upon the reading of the Finance Committee\u2019s report, on the auditors\u2019 report, which revealed some grave irregularities in the management of the city\u2019s affairs, the guillotine fell with lightning rapidity upon the heads of several responsible officials.The meeting only lasted half an hour, but in that short time drastic action was taken which means the re-organization and re-systemization of the various departments.Absolute unanimity marked the whole of the proceedings and resolution after resolution was adopted without a word of discussion.Alderman Thompson presided, and opened the proceedings by announcing that the meeting was called for the purpose of laying before the Council and the public the report of the auditors.Alderman Jenckes, the Chairman of the Finance Committee, thereupon rose to present the report of that Committee.He stated that the auditors\u2019 report was a long drawn out affair in connection with the city accounts, dealing with various phases of the situation, and the work had occupied a very considerable length of time.In order to bring the matter briefly before the Council the committee had prepared a short report in connection with the full report of the auditors.FINANCE COMMITTEE\u2019S REPORT.Alderman Jenckes then read the committee's report as follows : Your Committee desire to submit to the Council the report of the Auditors, Price, Waterhouse & Co.It will be found by the report on the various Departments that the accounts of the City have not been dealt with for some time in a business-like manner.The accounts of the Electric Light Department appear to have been short a very considerable amount in cash (a portion of which has been made up).The receivable accounts of\tthe Electric Light & Gas Department are in arrears to such an extent that the auditors submit that there will be a loss on our accounts of over $l,'800.Cfl' which may be considered as uncollectable, such loss being attributable solely to carelessness and indiflerencer\u2019 of the responsible officials.There are also irregularities in the Department, such as allowing\tem- ployees of the Department to be furnished with electric, light and\tgas free of charge, which has never been authorized in any way, shape or form by the City.The Auditors recommend that a reorganization of the.accounting .system be made in all Departments.In connection with the Waterworks, it would appear from the Auditors\u2019 report that there are few irregularities in this Department, the\tmost serious being that of accounts in arrears and the practice of allowing rebates to customers in an irregular manner.The Auditors also recommend the reorganization and systematizing of this Department and the collection of all outstandings.In connection with the Tax Department proper, the Auditors criticise very severely the large amount of outstanding taxes which has been allowed to accumulate from year to year, so that it now amounts to some $100,000.In this connection also the Auditors strongly urge the systematizing and reorganization of the whole Department.We may point out to the Council that the City is operating what perhaps might be termed a corporation with a.capital of upwards of $2,000,-000, or if we added to this our assets and bonded debt and the City real estate, a corporation of upwards of $12,000,000.Wé are operating three distinct Departments, handling upwards of $150,000 in citizens\u2019 money as earnings from these Departments, yet we are allowing each one of these Departments practically to take care of itself.We have no general head over all, and the employees of the City come and go, doing, as would appear by the Auditors\u2019 reports, practically as little as it is possible to do to hold their jobs.The Auditors recommend that all of the accounting, the receipts and disbursements pf the City, be systematized and put under one bead, and after submitting the Auditors' report to and consultation with the City Attorney, your Committee propose to carry out the recommendations of the Auditors by a series of resolutions, somewhat drastic in their form, yet no more so than it seems to us that the situation demands.With your permission, therefore, we beg to submit the resolutions as prepared by the City Solicitor in dealing with Price, Water-house & Co.'s audit.It will be at once seen from this set of resolutions that the object of the Auditors is to relieve Mr.Griffith of the arduous duties connected with the office of Secretary-Treasurer or Clerk and Secretary-Treasurer and leaving Mr.Griffith the office of City Clerk.Further, that the appointment of a City Treasurer be made who will have charge of the accounting of all the Departments of the City, and who will be responsible for the proper administration and collection of all accounts of the City.In order to clear the way for the Treasurer to become the active head of .this Department, these resolutions cancel all appointments which have been made by the City, leaving the new head free to select his own staff, of course subject to the sanction of the Council.J.M.JENCKES, Chairman.APPOINTMENT OF OFFICIALS CANCELLED.The report was adopted without discussion and separate resolutions were forthwith passed cancelling as from September 1st several appointments.The officials thus affected are: F.J.Griffith, Secretary Treasurer.B.A.Dugal, Assistant Secretary.R.H.Fuller, Clerk of Water Dept.Wm.Bell, Tax Collector.R.J.Myers, Assistant Tax Collector.E.Hargrave, Auditor.(Continued on page 7) t THE WEATHER\t| {\t! f\tLOCAL FORCAST.\t* J J Westerly to northwesterly t f\twinds; clearing.\tr t\t*

2i.\u2014Thirteen bodies, burned beyond recognition, were recovered from the ruins of the overall factory of the Binghamp-ton Clothing Company yesterday.The first was found near the centre of the debris-strewn cellar shortly before noon.Late yesterday afternoon eleven more bodies were uncovered at a point near where the sta rwav led to the Wall street entrance of the building.The thirteenth body was found last night.It was identified as that of John Schermerhort, the engineer, by a pair of rubber heels he is known to have, worn.One of the charred bodies is believed to be that of Nellie Connor, the forewoman, who sacrificed her life in an effort to save those in her charge.A diamond ring and diamond earrings worn by Miss Connor were found.The body of Mrs.Mary Pryor, wife of Thomas Pryor, was identified by means of an insurance key ring bearing her name.John Conroy, of Wil-kesbarre, Pa., a brother, aided in the identification.Rings and other jewelry found near the bodies are expected to aid in further identifications.It is still impossible to accurately estimate the number of dead.At least fifty, probably more, are believed to have perished in the flames.boügïkF MES CHEAP Quebec Man Will Now Start up a Reynard Farm WAS OFFERED SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS SHORTLY AFTER HIS PURCHASE.Quebec, July 24.\u2014Probably few if any men in this province have started a black fox farm at less cost than Mr.Robert Rowley, proprietor of the Laurentide Preserves at Lake Edward.While up at Roberval, Mr.Rowley heard that a man there had four young pups, part red and part black.It is said that nobody wanted to buy the animals though the price was about ten dollars or so a head.Mr.Rowley gave the man his price.The next morning Mr.Pridham, manager of the Black Fox Ranch of Lieutenant-Governor Wood, of New Brunswick, who has been scouring the country for young stock, saw the foxes and immediately went into the hotel and in front of everyone present offered Ml.Rowley several thousand dollars but was refused.When the villagers realized the offer some of them almost collapsed on the spot and the place has been fox-crazy ever since.Mr.Rowley is also purchasing a pure black dog fox at a very small sum and will cross it with the litter which he got so cheaply.He expects to have a litter of pure black foxes next spring.GREAT BRITAIN IS PREPARED Will Send Warship to Mexico to Protect British Subjects SO FAR NO COMPLAINT HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM BRITISH CONSUL.London, July 24.\u2014(Special) \u2014 Sir Edward Grey, British foreign secretary, is keeping in communication with the British Admiralty in case the presence of a British warship in Mexican waters should be considered advisable.Thus far, however, the British minister in Mexico City has not reported British subjects to be in danger.It is pointed out by the Foreign Office to-day that the British in Mexico, in common with other foreigners, have suffered from the continued disturbances.-f- CHINESE REBELS WERE REPULSED MADE REPEATED ATTACKS ON ARSENAL DEFENDED BY FORCE OF 2,000.Shanghai, July 24.\u2014Southern rebels, reported to number 10,OQ0 strong attacked Kiangnan arsenal at three o\u2019clock Wednesday morning.Ttic defenders, not exceeding' 2,000, were strongly entrenched, and, assisted by the Navy, repelled three separate attacks.The f gliting lasted until 7.50 o\u2019clock.According to the estimates six hundred rebels were killed.Another attack was also repelled at one o\u2019clock Thursday morning, the Southerners being unable to gain any I ground.1W0 FATAL ACCHS HNTIEAL One Was a Victim of a Light Engine at a Crossing THREE FATALITIES IN THREE DAYS, BESIDES SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO FIREMAN.Montreal, July 24.\u2014Two men lost their lives under the wheels of railway cars yesterday, making three-such fatalities in two days besides a serious accident which came near resulting in the death of p.U.T.R.engine fireman which oc-urred almost simultaneously with the third fatality at about midnight last night.The victims are, John Firth, 48 years of age, of 63 Paris street, who lost his life in an attempt to save a fellow workman on Tuesday; Napoleon Foisy, 32 years of age, of 157 De Neuville street, who was struck by a light engine at the Charlevoix street crossing yesterday morning, and who died in a few hours later at the General Hospital, and the third man to be killed was one whose identity has not yet been established, who was struck and run over by cars being shunted into the freight yards at the Bonaventure depot at 12 o\u2019clock last night.-t- Long Series of Grievances is Responsible For the T rouble AT SING SING NEW WARDEN HAD -TO SUBMIT TO THE DEMANDS OF THE MUTINOUS MEN.New York, July 24.\u2014As a sequel to the $200,000 lire in the Sing Sing prison yards, 150 of the second and third termers, the most feared men in the institution, took matters into their own hands yesterday and precipitated a mutiny which threatened for a time to result in a concerted attempt at jail delivery.The new warden, James N.Clancy, and principal keeper, James Connoughton, had to yield to the mutinous convicts.Several hundred windows in the prison house were smashed before the mutineers werè again placed in their cells.A long series of grievances were responsible for the mutiny, but the immediate cause was Tuesday's big fire, which threw 213, of the second and third terms out of employment.Last night the situation was so acute that an extra guard was ordered to be on hand in the morning.A serious outbreak, according to one of the keepers, may be expected any time within the next few days.Discussed the European Situation Before Going on Holiday SO FAR AS RUSSIA WAS' CONCERNED HE WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO CAUSE OF FEAR.Berlin,July 24.\u2014The following incident, related by an unquestionable authority, is of timely interest, lie-fore definitely arranging to proceed to Norway on his summer holiday, the second week in July, the Kaiser made personal confidential inquiries of the Czar as to whether in the Czar's opinion anything at all was likely to ensue during the next five or six weeks which would make it inconvenient for the Kaiser to absent himself from his own country.The Czar sent back such categorical assurances as far as anything which concerned Russian plans, that the Kaiser decided to start without further ado.The information adds that neither the Czar nor Kaiser could, of course, have foreseen the new enigma which Turkey has forced upon Europe\u2019s attention.CHILDREN DROWNED IN RIVER.Lewiston,, Me., July 24.-Two girls, Theresa and Lucille McCarthy, two and three years old, who were taking an automobile ride with their great uncle, John McCarthy, of Livermore Falls, were drowned when the car plunged through the railing of Dead River Dridge at Wayne Pond Station.Although McCarthy had two ribs fractured he succeeded in saving George Burkett, the chauffeur, who could not swim.-+- ROOSEVELT TO GO ON STAGE.London, July 24.\u2014 The Daily Sketch prints a statement that Col.Roosevelt has signed a contract for a tour of the Australian vaudeville circuit, at $2,000 a week, to lecture on sociological subjects.\u201cHe has been booked by Hugh McIntosh, the Australian fight promoter, who is the governing director of Harry Rickard\u2019s circuit.\u201d It adds : \u201cThe former President is to appear in talks of fifteen to thirty minutes.\u201cA tour on these lines would certainly mean the capacity of the house.\u201d MONTREAL EMPLOYS lOJJOOJfORKMEN Half of That Number Are Engaged on Paving The Streets WEEKLY PAYROLL FOR THIS LARGE ARMY OF MEN AMOUNTS TO $100,000.YOUTH TIRED PISTOL ^COMMONS Another Melodramatic Suffragette [Interruption Was Witnessed SCENE TOOK PLACE DURING DEBATE ON ADMINISTRATION OF HOME SECRE- GREECE MAY DELAY PEACE .Expected to Arise Throiigli Extreme Attitude Taken Montreal, July 24.\u2014The corporation at the present moment has 10,-000 men employed aside from clerks, policemen and firemen.One-half the total number are engaged in carrying out the extensive programme of street paving which the city has Undertaken this season.This is due to the fact that the tenders of the Chief Engineer were the lowest submitted for over half the work given out.The weekly pay roll for this army of men amounts to $100,000.The extra staff consists of 5,200 men who are distributed in the three divisions of the city where they are employed in paving streets.In the eastern division are 2500 men, in the northern division are 1500, and in the western division are 1200.-+- Attributes His Good Health to Free Use of Buttermilk AGED CARDINAL PITCHED A WINNING GAME OF QUOITS WITH AN OLD FRIEND.Baltimore, Md., July 24.\u2014Cardinal Gibbons pitched a winning game of quoits with an old friend on his 70th birthday anniversary yesterday, which he spent very pleasantly at the country estate of T.Herbert Shriver at Union Mills, M.D.Although the cardinal recently said he did not think he would live much longer, he was the picture of health yesterday.He rose early and celebrated mass in the private chapel of the Shriver home.Yesterday afternoon he greeted a very old newspaper correspondent, William Seabrooke, representing the Baltimore American, who is several months older than the cardinal.The cardinal attributed his health to the free use of buttermilk, of which he drinks several glasses daily.His aged interviewer asked his views on the Mexican question.The cardinal said he sympathized with President Wilson in the delicate questions confronting him, and thought he was doing his duty conscientiously in withholding recognition of the Huerta regime, which was hardly well enough established to give it any permanence.While European nations were urging upon this country some action for the protection of their citizens and their property on Mexican soil, the consequences of American interference were of too serious a character to justify hasty action.EXPLOSION?\u201d CHEMJCAL WORKS Arthur Kerr of Cookshire Seriously Burned on Face and Body TARY.London, July 24.\u2014Another melodramatic suffragette interruption in the House of Commons occurred last night when a pistol containing only a percussion cap was fired by a youth in the Strangers\u2019 Gallery.Keir Hardie had just been condemning the Home Secretary\u2019s administration of the Cat and Mouse Bill, and the police invasion of a private house to re-arrest Mrs.Pank-hurst.As soon as Secretary McKenna rose to reply, there was a loud crack in the Strangers\u2019 Gallery.Immediately several detectives and attendants rushed to the youth who had fired the pistol, and hauled him bodily out of the gallery without ceremony.The youth, who appeared not more than 17, though he gave his age as 22, seemed thoroughly scared as he was removed to the detention room.He gave his name as Ernest Washington, and said he came from Leeds where he works as a mechanical engineer.Pie said he was a member of a Socialist Club in Leeds.The pistol was not a toy.It was a small weapon, but did not contain a bullet.Only a percussion cap had been fired.Mr.McKenna, in reply to Keir Hardie, said that tire police had no authority to break into a private house to arrest the suffragist, but jf the house were open to them they were at liberty to enter.As to the administration act, he said, these women could not hope to become licensed law-breakers.COAL RESOURCES ADDED TO.New Glasgow, N.S., July 24.\u2014Mil-| lions of tons may be added to the coal resources of Nova Scotia if the possibility of error in the location of the famous Fraser mountain fault in the Pictou coal beds, as suggested by eminent geologists of the party now touring the Maritime provinces, and who visited here, turns out to be correct.GREECE, SERV1A AND BULGARIA RECOMMENDED TO ADHERE TO ROUMANIAN PROPOSALS.Bucharest, July 24.\u2014 (Special)\u2014 King Charles addressed telegrams yesterday to the Kings of Greece, Servia and Bulgaria, recommending adherence to the Roumanian proposals in consideration of Bulgaria's situation and Europe\u2019s desire that Bulgaria shall not suffer further damage.PEACE PROSPECTS BRIGHTER.London, July 24.\u2014The prospects of peace among the Balkan states were much improved yesterday, the King of Roumania using his influence towards general conciliation.Difficulty, however, is expected to arise through the extreme attitude of Greece in claiming possession of Kavala and Drama, as well as Salonika.The POWERS AND TURKEY.The powers seem to have reached no.decision as yet as to how to deal with: Turkey.Lord Morley, of Blackburn, questioned on this subject in the House of Lords last night, deprecated public discussion of such a critical situation.He practically repeated Premier Asquith\u2019s warning to Turkey.He said that he was unable to state what action the powers were prepared to take, and added that the British Government still desired to carry out a policy of supporting the Ottoman Government in the reorganization of its administration and fin- ROUMANIA'S

returned.FARMERS ARE BUSY.Richmond, July 24.\u2014(Special)\u2014 The farmers in this vicinity are taking advantage of the fine weather of the past few days and are busy as long as daylight lasts making hay, which, by reports is up to the average in both quality and quantity and several assert even a much larger yield than last year.Fruit, especially apples, plums, etc., are a complete failure caused by the terrible destruc-t on of the orchards by caterpillars I earlier in the season.The vegetable gardens, however, are somewhat better than was expected at first, although a great number were planted the second time and were therefore late.HELD A LIGHTED LANTERN TOO NEAR TANK WHERE GAS HAD ACCUMULATED.Cookshire, July 24.\u2014(Special)\u2014 Arthur Kerr, an employee at the chemical works, was seriously injured last evening as the result of an explosion.Kerr was going his rounds in- the works last evening about nine o\u2019clock, and carried a lantern.In one of the rooms he removed the cover of one of the tanks, and as he did so, held the lantern up better to see inside.There had been an acculumation of gas, which being ignited caused an explosion.As a result Kerr was seriously burned on the face and body, and he will be confined to his room tor some time.The fire alarm was immediately sounded, and on the arrival of the brigade the flames were soon under control.-f-

Bogotal Colombia.\u2014 Electoral reform is believed to be the.most important of the problems that will he taken up under the auspices of the Liberal party in the next Congress.Although this reform appears impar-ativc to the Liberals, on account of .the overwhelming victory of the Conservative party at the recent elections, which they charge was won by anything but fair means, there is a tendency among the Conservatives themselves to welcome such a reform provided it is being launched in the press before Congress^re-opens, so that it may be freely debated and public opinions on it sounded.What the Liberals want particularly is a permanent electoral census in order to do away with the influence exercised on the making up of .the lists for each election ; also that measures be taken that will prevent the minority as well as the majority being secured by the same party, and finally that the\u2019 electoral body be constituted so as to assure every one of the parties being included.\u2022 Several times in the last weeks the political situation appeared acute, owing to the growing friction between the Liberals and Conservatives.Both parties were suspecting each other of a possible inclination to appeal to violence, this being largely due to bellicose press utterances.But there continues among the people and in the Government class a strong tendency to maintain domestic peace at all costs and scrupulously avoid every appearance of internal weakness which many believe might lead to disastrous developments from an international point of view.General Reyes\u2019 trip around South America has been followed with more interest than had seenvd probable when it was first announced.Although nothing definite is known of the former dictator\u2019s actual aim in visiting the South American nations, many think they are not altogether personal, connected with his possible re-entry into this country, but that he' harbors plans of possible bearing on the entire South American international situation as determined by the opening of the Panama Canal.It is a fact that the Conservative and Republican press charges that the Liberal party is once more turning to General Reyes whose name, one pa-i per says, was acclaimed at a recent Liberal meeting.As there are rumors that General Rafael Uribe Uribe, the chief of the Liberal party, in the interest of greater unity among the Liberals may he induced to cede the first place to another, the question of General Reyes\u2019 return is discussed with growing interest.Nothing is more amusing that to watch on a winter\u2019s day the marvellous intelligence with which the pigeons of St.Mark's, in Venice, can discriminate between residents and visitors in the grand square of that, city, the Piazza of St.Mark.The moment a stranger shows his face in the piazza the pigeons set ,\t,\t,\t.\t\u201c''\u2018'\"I\" \u201di\tj o-j ,ipon him in crowds, hoping to he lamia admires her beautiful mother , fP(1.They ,lo not trouble tbe natives, intensely, and she was present on a , wh0 m!ly ])e sunning themselves some | fhe hundred in the square.Queen j Hot Air and COM Splashes was looking remarkably well.The lit |\t- tle girl answered:\tWINDSOR MILLS \u201cMy mother is the ver\u2019' handsomest \u2022 I public occasion recently when one remarked to her that the by Queen- in Europe.\u201d After a short pause she added: \u201cAnd I am going to be .exactly like her.\u201d The resemblance between mother and daughter is most striking.Arrivals and departures: Miss Ef * f e B.Jack, of Quebec, the guest, of her friend, Miss Catherine Mountain; Mr.O.McCabe, to Valleyfield, the guest, of his father.Dr.W.G.McCabe.Don\u2019t Try to Cheat Your Feet Don\u2019t pare the corn a little and think the corn will go- Don\u2019t daub it with liquids, or use an old-time pad or plaster.That\u2019s fooling with a corn.A famous chemist found a way to take out corns c o m -pletely.Now we own his method.We call it Blue-jay.It\u2019s a little plaster, applied iu a jiffy.The moment you use it, all pain is stopped.You forget the corn.In 48 hours take off the plaster and the corns come out.Not a whit of the corn is left.All this is done without any pain or soreness.Every month a million corns are now removed like this.Try it on one of yours.(.TO) A in the picture is the soft 11 fy 11 wax.Tt loosens the corn.B stops the pain ami keeps the wax from spreading.C wraps around the toe.It is narrowed to be comfortable.D is rubber adhesive to fasten the plaster on.Blue-jay Corn Plasters Sold by Druggists -15c and 25c per package Sample Mailed Free.Also Hlne-jay Bunion Plasters.Bauer & Black, Chicago & New York, Makers of Surgical Dressings, etc.I T)\t !

Specialist 80-callcd stomach troubles, such as in digestion, wlpd, stomachache and inability to retain food, are in probably nine cases out of ten simply evidence that fermentation is taking place in the, food contents of the stomach, cAusiiikr the formation of «as and acids.Wind distends tb'e stomach and causes that, full, oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inllames the delicate lining of the stom arh.The trouble lies entirely in the ferment inq: food.Such fermentation is unnatural, and acid formation is not only unnatural, but may involve most Serious consequences if net corrected.To stop or prevent fermentation of the food contents of the stomach ami to neutralize the a.cid and render it bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, probably the best and most effective corrector of acid stomach known, should be taken in a quarter of a irlass of hot or cold water immediately after eating, or whenever wind or acidity is felt.This stops the fermentation and neutralizes the acidity in \u2022* few moments.Fermentation, wind and acidity aro dangerous and unnecessary.Stop m prevent thorn by the use of a proper antacid.such as bisurated magnesia, which can be obtained fnvm any druir,rist ami thus enable the stomach it* do its woi\u2019U properly wit hout being hindered bv no is cnous cas nud dangerous

were right in our conjecture.\u201cWaterspout!\" said the skipper, with a, smile.\u201cFlies.\u201d \u201cFlies?\u201d we repeated, and turned to Mr.Akeley in the hope of getting from him a more

Give Interesting and Instruc* tive Addresses MONTREAL.PRESBYTERY HAS SENT A DELEGATE FROM EACH SCHOOL WITHIN ITS BOUNDS.Knowlton, July 24.\u2014(Special)\u2014The Twelfth Annual Conference or Summer School for Sunday School Workers opened at Knowlton on Sunday last with a service for children in the afternoon.A fairly large number of boys and girls were in attendance to hear Miss Edna Earie Cole of Ohio, and listened for about amhour to a most interesting talk in which she showed herself master of the art of conveying religious and moral truths through the medium of stories most easily understood by the youngest present1 and thoroughly enjoyed uy tue older ones.The bchool proper opened on Monday morning with the largest attendance in the history of the Conference.A factor contributing largely to this record attendance was the oiler made by the Montreal Presbytery to pay the entertainment of one delegate from each school in the Presbytery.This fact has greatly strengthened the.character ol the student body.The Conference has been very fortunate this year in securing the Rev.Alex.MacGillivray, D.1)., Chairman of tiic Sabbath School Board of the Presbyterian Church and Pastor of Bonar Presbyterian Church, Toronto, whose school has the distinction of being the largest Presbyterian Sun-, day School in Canada with an enrol-men of over twelve hundred.Dr.MacGillivray will deliver the addresses at the morning sessions on Friday and Saturday, the first being on \u201cMissionary Instruction and Giving in the Sunday School,\" and \u201cSab bath School Evangelism.\u201d The outstanding points to he dealt with on Friday will be Education, Prayer, Service and Gifts, and in the Saturday address \u201cDecision for Christ the end of all Teaching\" and \u201cTraining for Christian Service.\" Dr.MacGillivray will also deliver the address at the evening session Friday, the theme of which will be \u201cUnpossessed Possessions,\u201d dealing with the Physical, Intellectual and Spiritual being of man.On Saturday evening Mr.E.M.Brown will give one of his interesting \u201cChalk * Talks,\" demonstrating the practicability of using the blackboard as a help in Story Telling.The Rev.Edgar T.Capel, the President of the Conference, is giving a series of morning addresses at the Devotional Period from 8.45 to 9.15 a.m., presenting the study of the Lord Jesus in the .light of the titles given Him in Holy Scripture.He has already presented the names of \u201cAlmighty,\u201d \u2018Jesus,\u201d \u201cThe Bread of Life,\u201d and \u201cThe Light of the World.\u201d The remaining subjects of the series are: \u201cThe True Vine\" and \u201cSanctification.\u201d These morning periods are proving most inspiring and helpful.The group Study Classes are being led by Miss Cole for the Elementary Grades and Mr.W.Randolf Burgess for the Intermediate and Senior.The attendance at both these classes is large and the interest manifested b\\ tlie students promises a high standard of work to be presented to the Faculty, for which certificates will be issued.The Rev.E.M.Fuller is giving a series of addresses from 10.15 to 11.15 a.m.on \u201cChild Training in the Home,\u201d which seem to be very popular, if one may judge by the interest shown.Mr.E.W.Brown of Boston, who won so large a place for himself at the Knowlton School last summer, is obtaining an even stronger hoid upon the students this year in Ins demonstrations of the possibilities oi illustrating truth with pad or blackboard.On Monday evening an informal re ception was given by the officers and faculty of the Conference to the students and others.A short musical programme was rendered and then the entire membership was divided into two parties, one under the lead ership of Mr.J.R.Ferguson and the other under Mr.Albert Clarke, both of Montreal.All recreation and mat ters of entertainment are to be carried on in a competitive spirit hv these parties, which promises to add largely to the enjoyment of the students.The excitement -is running high and the school spirit is most, excellent.The Class work finishes with the morning sessions on Saturday, Julv 26th., and the last service of the School will be held on Sunday the 27th., in the Grove at 2.30 in the afternoon, for.which a strong programme is being prepared by the var ions leaders at the Conference.MR.J.W.Recipient of Cabinet of Silver From St.Peter\u2019s Churchl Choir RE (.\u2019RET EXPRESSED AT DEPARTURE OF ORGANIST TO FILL SIMILAR POSITION IN OTTAWA CHURCH.Members of St.Peter\u2019s Church choir who were in town met last evening at the Church Hall, after evening service, to present Mr.J.W.Bearder, F.R.S.O., who is shortly leaving Sherbrooke to assume a new position in All Saints\u2019 Church, Ottawa, and Mrs.Bearder with a handsome oak cabinet of table silver, presented by the choir.Lt.-Col.Fraser, a member of the choir for many years, spoke of their deep regret at Mr.Bearder\u2019s departure, and of the deep and sincere respect, admiration and afiection which he had inspired during the years- he had been with them.Sooner or later, of course, they had known it was inevitable that Mr.Bearder would be called to some broader work, with larger scope than he could find in Sherbrooke, and they trusted in his new sphere he would meet with the same success.On behalf of the choir he wished Mr.and Mrs.Bearder God speed and happiness.The gift they were presenting was but a slight token of their good, wishes and esteem.Mr.Bearder spoke very feelingly in reply, thanking all the members of the choir and Col.Fraser for his kind remarks.The friends he l.al made in Sherbrooke on his arrival were dearer to him every year, and he and Mrs.Bearder would always .think >,f this little city as their Canadian home.Since he had been in Sherbrooke he had been urgcct many times to settle either in Montreal or one of the Ontario cities, hut had repeatedly refused.However, be felt perhaps he should be in a larger place, and his friends in the profession thought that Ottawa, being, as it were, between Montreal and Toronto, would be most suitable.He had enjoyed his life in Sherbrooke in every way and found it very hard eo leave.Refreshments were furnished by the ladies and a pleasant hour was spent.Besides Mr.and Mrs.Bearder, those present were Mrs.Bowen.Gustafson, Reginald Smith, Hugh Tomlinson, Wm.Morris and Misses Taylor, Moe, Edgell and H.Lawrence, Rev.Mr.Moorhead, Rev.Mr.Hobart, Lt.-Col.H.R.Fraser, Messrs.Price, Colwill,
