St.Hyacinthe, August 13\u2014Probably fever in the annals of political meetings in this.Dominion was there an Attendance of spectators as that held to-day at St.Hyacinthe, when a £rowd of electors from all over the Proviice, estimated at between thirty and forty thousand, were pre:- ent fa listen to what was expected to be a bites\u201d political hanrangue \u2018 be- of Marine and Fisheries, on the one side, and Messrs.Bourassa and Lavergne on the other.When it was announced a few days ago that Mr.-Beauparlant, ex-M.P.for St.Hyacinthe, had invited Messrs.Bourassa and Lavergne to meet Hon.Mr.Lemieux, Hon.Mr.Beland and himself, at the meeting, it was expected that considerable trouble would be the result as both Nationalist leaders accepted the invitation and cancelled all- other engagements, Fortunately, however, no trouble arose between both factions, although at times things looked bad for a general row, but the only party to lose bis head for the time\u2019 being was Hon.Mr.Lemieux, who contindally kept interrupting Mr.Lavergne, and going even so far to place his gloved fist in | : front of the latter's face, amidst the rries of the crowd, the majority of whom were Bourassa sympathizers, judging from the cheering, he and is friend Mr.Lavergne received.A sensational incident in the afternoon's proceedings was the falling away of a portion of the stand occupied by the speakers.pressmen and others, the only parties getting a shaking up being the reporters.Never in the history of St.Hyacinthe has that town received such a crowd of vititors.Shortly after nine o'clock.Mr.Bourassa arrived on a special Nationalist train from Montreal, followed about 11 o'clock by another train with Hon.Mr.Lemieux and Hon.Mr.Beland and members of the Montreal Liberal clubs on board, both receiving a hearty welcome.Between 1 and 3 o'clock seven specials from Montreal over the G.T.R.und 1.C.R.each consistinæ of about fourteen cars dropped their human cargoes in the town, while specials alto came in from Levis, Farnham, Sherbrooke and other eastern localities, so that about 15.000 strangers were in attendance at the meeting besides the thousands from the town and adjoining districte, the latter driving in or arriving in automobiles.he scene was a lively one and the hotels and tradesmen reaped quite a harvest, eatables running short and after the meeting it was impossible to even get bread in some of the hotels, and naturally drinkables were at a premium.Ginger beer was sold on the ground at IS cents a bottle, while § and even 10 cents was charged for a glass of milk or water.As the heat was intense all the visitors had-te, pay up or do without.The meeting throughout was devoted considerably to personalities and was unprecedented in this Provinee as regards the amount of invective and vituperation injected into the speeches and the amount of bad temper displayed.Naturally both factions had their friends and the style of debate was cheered by some and jeered by the others, while a gang of hoodlums on top of the drill hall, opposite which building the meeting was held, used most insulting language at times to the Nation- \u2018alist leaders, but there was no way of reaching them as all the doors to the roof were locked, At times, and pacticularly during Hon.Mr! Lemiéux's speech the crowd kept surging 21a A as if the improvised platiorm would collapse.; Mayor Payan presided and began by remarking that he was sorry that Mr.Beauparlant, the Government candidate, was nuable to attend the meeting owing to serious illnese and hoped that the large crowd present | would listen attentively to all the speakers and that no trouble would be caused.Hon.Mr.Lemieux was the first speaker and was well received by his friends.Hp alto deplored the illness of the ex-M.P.for St.Hyacinthe, who, he regretted to hear, was dangerously ill in the town hospital, and thanked the electors for terñing out in such large numbers to hear the discussion on the political events of the day.He was never afraid to meet the Nationalist leaders on the hustings and tell them to their face what he thought of them.(Interruptions).He then attacked Mr.Bourassa with intense vigor, denouncing him as a fool and an idiot trying to lead a flack of sheep whom he was incapable of caring for.The Nationalist leader in his organ.Le DeVoir, had continual- ty lied against Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues.He was a disappointed office seeker, having tried to be appointed Canadian Commissioner in London, Postmaster of Montreal, and Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons.Mr.Bourassa denied these statements when Mr.Lemieux turning towards him, threatened to have him put off the platform if he did not keep quiet.This scene caused quite a rumpus, both factions yelling at the same time \u201cShut ups Bourassa,\u201d \u201cTalk politics Lemieux or get down.\u201d Continuing the Minister of Marine denied that he had ever been afraid to meet Mr, Bourassa or his friends in a joint debate and proceeded to denounce the alliance of the Castors and Imperialists, adding that Messrs, Bourassa and Lavergne were no friends of the French-Canadians, whom they tried to deceive with phrases.He (Mr.Lemicux) had his record to stand behind him, which would always show taht he ever was a friend of the French-Canadians and French institutions.He eulogized Sir Wilfrid and Hon.Mr.Borden and remarked that it was only hatred against Sir Wilfrid and his colleagues that caused Mr.Bourassa and his Nationalist friends to try and raise their countrymen against them.The principal question before the electors of thie Dominion was reciprocity with the United States, but Mr.Bourassa claimed that this was only of a secondary importance and that the navy question was the principal question before the electors.That POMMERY \u2014 FILS& CQ: Shippers of the famous POMMERY CHAMPAGNE \u201cPOMMERY\" stands for the highest grade \u2018 of Champagne shipped from France.922\") Pay the Highest Prices for POMMERY SAW, YOUNG & GO.a o MONTREAL 4 latter question had been settled and now the eléctors had to deride whether they favored reciprocity or not.A number of voices\u2014The navy is the question to decide upon.Continuing, Mr.Lemieux stated that the farmers had everything to gain by reciprocity with the United States and that in 1904 Mr, Bourassa favored that question.In Ontario Mr.\\Borden claimed that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was too sympathetic to the French-Canadians while in this Province Mr.Bourassa claimed that Sir Wilfrid was too English.On the navy question Mr.Borden in Ontario stated that the navy was too Canadian while in Quebec Mr, Bourassa asserted that it was an infernal Imperialist mach ne.During his remarks, Mr.Lemieux was frequently interrupted, but on resuming his seat received the plaudits of his friends.When Mr.Bourassa rose to reply he was received with considerable cheerbng, which lasted for several minutes.He spoke for an hour and hardled his opponents without gloves.He began by adding his sympathies | on the illness of Mr.Beauparlant, whom he hoped to see soon able enter the politieal arer.a.Referring to Hon.Mr.Lemieux's | remarks about himself he expressed surprise tc see a public man lose his temper so much as he did, in discussing political mâtters and his replies to the former's personal attacks would be very short.The 40,000 spectators present had come there to hear political questions and not listen to a man speaking like a coward.(Great applause.) He had never asked nor sought a porition from Sir Wilfrid Laurier nor even Messrs.Lemieux or Borden.He had never asked for the position of High Cemmissioner, nor Postmaster { of Montreal, nor Deputy Speaker, and nobody knew that better than Mr.Lemieux.The latter interrupted the speaker when he was told by the crowd to sit down and shut up, while the gang on the drill hall roof started to jeer Ms.Bourassa, Referring to the political questions of the day, Mr.Bourassa remarked that he had commenced and intended continuing this political fight notwithstanding the insults of those who were living out of the public manger.Mr.Lemieux thought he had made a great discovery\u2019 when he stated that he (Mr.Bourassa) hadafavored reciprocity with the United States.\u201cThere war nothing new in the assertion and he was in 1904 favorable to reciprocity as he was in 1911 and favored a free exchange of products between both countries, but mot when it wuited President Taft and the Americans to come in and impose their conditions on this country when they wanted Canadian goods and products.\u2018But when Canadians were in need of their products they firmly objected to have anything to do with the Canadians.He was sorry to see that Sir Wilfrid and his colleagues had curried favor to the United States when the latter, when the American harvest was good, refused to have any free exchange of products with this country.Whether reciprocity was adopted or not the farmers would etill have to work their 12 hours daity and not be in a better position than they are to-day.Taking up the naval question, Mr.Bourassa remarked that it was of a most important nature and in 1908 when Sir Wilfrid and his partizans sought re-election, did they ever ask you if you favored a Canadian navy?remarked the speaker.\u201cNo! No!\u201d replied the crowd.Continuing, Mr.Bourassa stated that when he objected to the resolutions which Sir Wilfrid had adopted by the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, regarding the naval question, he had no stronger supporter than Mr.Lemieux, who at that time did not consider him as a fool and idiot, but wrote to him as \u201cMy dear colleague,\u201d and in his letter regretted that he was unable to attend the meeting to protest against these resolutions, and he regretted his absence moreso because he wished to protest secrated an absolute false principle, that of Canada taking part in the wars of the Empire.A few years after this same Mr, Lemieux voted in favor of this navy, which he so strongly objected to in his letter.The reading of this letter caused quite a commotion and was received with cheers, which had the effect of raising Mr.Lemieux's temper once nore, and he insisted upon seeing the letter, Mr.Bourassa handing him a copy thereof and offering to place the original in the hands of another party.\u201cAre we idiots?\u201d remarked Mr.Bourassa, \u201cbecause we ask that the people he consulted on this important question?\u2018 Hon.Mr.Lemieux had stated that i tuo our Ueurge Carter had carried out a naval policy.Well, if such was the case, why did Sid Wilfrid want to establish another one.But what Sir ! with those af the preceding speakers : HR to | I against such a resolution which con- s Temperatures Mining, 32; M: sium, 80 Silk Ribbon URE._Silk Taffeta Ribbon, great P ty of colors, splendid value at ghe regular prices.12 1-2c and | 15¢ 3 yd, Prosperity Sale Price.8 1-2¢ PEE | Retail Division, 157.173 St.Joseph Street.LIMITED.ADIES\u2019 good value at the regular price 15¢ a pair, Prosperity Sale Price, per Ladies\u2019 Hose Plain Black Cotten Hose; sizes 8 1-2, 9, and 9 1-2, GREAT PROSPERITY SALE ® Waists inc White Persian sizes 34 to 44, ck, kimono sleeves, Lodies\u2019 Waists Ladies\u2019, Fine White Lawn Waiste, cMbroidered front, with tucks, 3-4 and long slceves, very attractive style, regular prices 1.00 and $1.25 each, Prosperity ale Price .49c ng Aprons in White at bottom, regul tos serity Sale Price Fons e ss ees 19\u20ac Short Kimonos Ladies\u2019 White Lawn Kimonos | with colored border, regular N price 50c, Prosperity Sale Tice Long Kimonos Ladies\u2019 Long Kimonos in Fancy Muslin, white with colored pattern, Prosperity Sale Price .«98e Underskirts | Ladies\u2019 Fine White Cotton j Underakirts.tucked and trimmed with lage, Prosperity Sale Price Cees WeWamess eevieee aaa.+.49¢ | \u2014\u2014Prosperity LONG COATS, Rep.notched collar, trimmed with corded eilk, sleeves and pockets trimmed with same, fancy buttons, reg.price $7.Price champagne Ladies\u2019 Pumps.Black Gun Metal Pumps, sizes | 21.210 6.newest style with straps, regular price $3.00, Prosperity Sale Price .cooovn 0 LoL LL $1.99 =a fT, Fra FTW EXTRA!

Ha ! Bay Railway, in which Mr.Lapointe was interested.\u201cBesides,\u201d continued Mr.Lavrgne, \u201c1 was informed that if I abandoned my attitude in the present campaign, my father would be appointed Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench.Naturally these declarations drop- George Cartier had done was ti create a navy for the defehse of Canada and to protect the Upper Lakes, and nobody had any objection to that.| At the conference of 1902 Sir Wu-) in conciusion, Mr.- Bourassa insisted upon the electors casting their vates far men who would not rise in the House and vote upon a sign trop their leader, but for men who would leave aside their political tena- encies and work for the welfare of this coutnry.Mr.Bourassa was frequently applanded and resumed his seat amidst prolonged cheering.Hon.Mr, Beland was the next speaker, and taking up the navy question, remarked that the Nationalists could be confused by their own action.ped like & borrdshell amongsct the thousands present, and Mr.Lemieux, jumping up.denied the statements, which he claimed were false and cali- ing upon Mr.Lavergne to produce his evidence.Mr.Lavergne replied that unfortunately he had not the documentary evidence just then as he had sent it to a friend, but it would be produced in the proper time.The friends of Mr.hemicux acknowledged that they had never seen him in such an angry mood and at times it looked so much as if he was going to hit Mr.Lavergne that the latter's friends called out \u201cHit him, Armand.\u201d It was impossible for Mr.la.vergne to proceed much further as the Minister of Marine was continual.OUT OF BUSINESS Opening of the International Aviation Meet at Chicago on Saturday, Chicago, Il, Aug.13.\u2014A series of accidents that put three aeroplanes out of business without injuring their drivers, together with a downcast sky that threatened to develop into a downpour any minute, did not serve to mar the score of the first day of the international aviation meet today.A.L.Welsh and W.G.Beatty both broke the American records for elapsed time, with a passenger.\\Velsh remained up two hours and four mniutes, and Beatty two hours and eleven minutes.Arthur B.Stone and his mechanic, in a Queen monoplane, suffered a serious accident, their fall resembling that in which Moissant met his death.They had risen to a height of 45 feet, when a sudden gust of wind struck the car, and as Stone attempted a sharp turn, it overturned.Both fell under the aeroplane, but missed the engine and escaped unhurt, Almost immediately afterward Frank C.Coffyn, bv an earthward swoop.struck the monoplane in which Rene Simon was rising, disabling Simon's car so it could not be used.The machines driven by St.Croix Johnstone, James V.Martin and Captain Paul W.Beck also sustained injuries while alighting.In no case was the aviator hurt, Incomplete ararngements for handling the aviators and lack of preparation for events necessitated doing away with the program snd only a part of the list of events tookplace.Instead, the aviators started at once after endurance and altitude marks, attracted by the $2 offered for each minute of sustained flight.Earl L.Ovington was the winner in the two chief events that were started.In his monoplane he defeated Thomas Sopwith in the tweaty-mile monoplane race, making the fifteen laps in 23 minutes and SI seconds.Sopwith ended the race in six seconds greater elapsed time, Ovington also won the 14-mile race scross' water, the course being two trips from the judges\u2019 stand around a crib three and

to make the best of the situation.It was, at least, one way out of the difficulty, though a better way would have been, if the choice had to fall on a Quebec man, to have made the election by competition.Doubtless, the new chief will profit by the advice at his disposal, and the work of reorganization will begin.But the history of the whole affair is not encouraging to those who look for progress in our civic administration, and we cannot help feeling that an opportunity has been lost.WHICH ARE RIGHT?The Liberals of 1911 have taken their cue from Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the subsidized press throughout the country is filled with their efforts to prove that Sir John MacDonald was in favor of their brand of reciprocity.Everyone knows how Sir John denounced that * veiled treason,\u201d as he called it.What is not, however, so generally known is that the famous Liberal platform of 1893 accuses Sir John of having shown very little desire to obtain any measure of reciprocity.The accusation appears in the following paragraph:\u2014 \u201cThat no sincere effort has been made by them to obtain a treaty, but, on the contrary, it is manifest that the present Government, controlled as they are by monopolies, and combines, are not desirous of securing such a treaty; that the first step toward obtaining the end in view is to place a party in power who are sincerely desirous of promoting a treaty on terms honorable to both countries.\u201d One thing is certain, Sir John would never have sacrificed Canada to save the {ace of any foreign President who is boasting to his countrymen that reciprocity will deliver Canada\u2019s trade into the hands of her rival and injure both ourselves and Britain.And, anyhow, the mere fact of Sir John's advancing any doctrine in his lifetime was sufficient to start the Liberals on a contrary theory.They did enough to drive him to his grave with their anti-Canadian schemes.and they might just as well refrain from trampling over his grave now.AIRSHIPS AND WAR.The strides that have been made within the past few months in the navigation of the air, have been so tremendous as to threaten, seriously, a revolution in the methods of war- : fare.The recent airship race around i England, in which there were eleven I contestants, all of whom finished | without accident of any sort, indi- \u2018cates pretty clearly what improve- (ment in construction and handling of airships has taken place.That race | was won by Lieutenant Conneau of .the Freach navy, racing under the | name of Besumont, and he, who has been foremost in aviation work for i the French navy, expresses the opinion that within ten years\u2019 time, the modern Dreadnought may be entirely set at naught and the whole aspect of warfare altered thereby.It is scarcely necessary to go into the details brought forward by the military and naval experts as to the value of aeroplanes in war.The French believe that all scout cruisers in the navy should be equipped with airships to aid in the work of reconnoitring, and it does not need an expert to see that with such aid, the efficiency of scout cruisers would be increased an hundred-fold.It is not too much to say that the advent of the airship makes secrecy of move- | ment practically impossible and most naval and military movements of today depend for the success upon secrecy.It has already been demonstrated | that from an airship looking down | into the water submarines may de tected and the enemy warned against them, they cease to be effective.\u2018Mhere are a hundred ways in which the imagination tells us that airehipe may be used in warfare snd all of them seem to point to the necessity of an entire modification of arms and armaments.PRESIDENT TAFY ON RECI PROCITY.When Mr.Fielding first revealed the nature of the secret reciprocity pact, Liberal politicians and scribes were much addicted to quoting the opinions of Mr.Taft and eheracter- istle utterances, such as \"Our good neighour on the north,\u201d \u201cBrotherly love.\u201d ete.etc, which issued from the lips of that gentieman were retailed with much gusto in the Laurier press.But this condition of things did not prevail long.Mr.Taft's sdmirers in thia country soon found vat that be was à very unsale man te quote, and | plainly seen, and once these are de-| bic utterances soon ceased to awake an echo from their eolumns.It was not that he did not continue to say anything of note.It was simply that, if they had received the prominence which they merited in the Liberal press, many more Canadians would bave become disgusted with the nature of the bargain, | The President of she United States Ras admitted on several occasions that one of his main objects was to seize our raw materials and to reduce us once again to the position of hewers of wond and drawers of water for the interests of the United States.He has also, of course, intimated that we are at the parting of the ways, where we shall have to choose between Britain and the States.Another significant speech was made at the banquet of the American newspapermen.lt contained the following paragraph: \u201cI have said.that this was a critieal time in the solution of the question of reciprocity.It is critical, because unless it is now decided favorably to reciprocity, it is exceedingly probable that no such opportunity will ever again come to the United States.The forces which are at work in England and in Canada to separate her my a Chinese wall from the United States, and make her part of an Imperial commercial band reaching from England around the world to England again by a system of preferential tariffs, will derive an impetus from the rejection of this treaty, and if we would have reciprocity, with all the advantages that | have described, and that § earnestly and sincerely believe will follow its adoption, we must take it now, or give it up forever.\u201d The latest exposition of Mr.Taft's views on reciprocity is to be found in Leslie\u2019s magazine.It is of special interest in that the arguments are directly at variance with the new slogan, Give the Farmer a Chance, which is now doing duty among the Laurier following: \u201cThe President points out that there are only 7,000,000 people in Canada, as against 90,000,000 people in the United States, and that, even with tariffs as they are between the two countries, the United, States sent us in 1909-10 merchandise worth $225,- 000,000, taking only $100,000,000 from us.\u2018If, he says, \u2018Canadas continues to grow, what may we expect to sell her if we reduce the tariff wall, introduce as near as we can free trade, and she increases her population from 7,000,000 to 30,000000?Shall we not be flying in the face of Providence to maintain a wall between us and such a profitable market as she will furnish us?\u201d \u2018The genial President then goes on to say that, far from being a benefit to the Canadian farmer, the proposed fiscal change will open our home market to let in his American competitors.The United States, says Mr.Taft, exports far more horses to this country than she imports {rom it.The same is the case with potatoes and, where it is a question of meat and dairy produce, the proportion is 18 to | against us.Regarding the flour milling industry the President says: \"If, now, the duty is to be taken off wheat and the Canadian wheat can come to the millers of Minneapolis and other places, it can and will be made into flour, because the capacity of the American mills is 33 per cent greater than is needed to mill the wheat of this country.Canadian wheat can be imported and ground into flour without materially reducing the demand for or price of American wheat, and the surplus will be sent abroad as flour.The price of Canadian wheat will doubtless be increased a few cents by access to the market nearer at band, but the access to the market nearer at hand will aot reduce the price of his wheat to the American farmer.A very material benefit to all the farmers of the country, especially: the stock and cattle raisers and the dairy farmers, will be the by-products of bran and shorts from the flour mills likely to follow the free export of whest from Canada to those milis.These by-products are now so scarce that many farmers are unable to procure them.\u201d The President notes that the cost of living is not higher in the United States than in Canada.1f this is so, how is the Canadian producer of general {arm products to benefit by access to the American market?Further on the Chief Executive officer of the) Washington Government frankly ad~ mits that \"one of the great objects of the present treaty is the conservation of our natural resources.It is perfectly evident from the statistics that our general lumber supply snd our supply of spruce wood for paper making are being rapidly exhausted.\u201d Further on he says: \u201cThe Provinces of Canada have control over the Crown lands, in which nine-tenths of the pulp wood is grown and they have imposed restrictions and export duties of various kinds upon the pulp wood in the Crown lands, in order to prevent the export of the wood except in the form of paper.In order to in- = (THE QUEBEC CHRONICLE.- , duce the Canadians Provinces, over whom the Dominion can exercise no control, to lift the restrictions upon the exportation of their pulp wood, it is provided in the agreement thst when paper is made in Canada from wood growa on land not under export restrictions, the paper may come into the United States free; and it is hoped that the differenct of $5.78 between the duty on paper from restricted wood and no duty on paper made from unrestricted wood will induce the Provinces to lift their restrictions.\u201d Patriotic Canadians who have faith in the self-sufficiency of their country, will have little sympathy with a government which has created a Conservation Commission and now seeks to render it abortive by entering into a bargain with Washington to force the Provinces of Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and British Columbia into abandoning their policy of encouraging home manufacturers for the benefits of Canadian indus.trials, business men and farmers.What has become of the old slogan, Let Laurier finish his work?_The next September 21 may be looked upon to prove that reciprocity and Mr.Laurier may henceforth be reckoned in the same class as James Jeffries, Esq.Newspapers that constantly insist that reciprocity means cheaper living, especially along the borders of the two countries interested in the plan just now, will do well to compare market prices in Buffalo and Toronto any day.Then they will know better even if they keep on making that absurd statement.\u2014Buffalo News.WORK OF BLACK HAND IN CANADA Sensational Stories Told by | Italian Self-Confessed Murderer in Toronto.Toronto, Aug.11\u2014Further confessions made by Frank Griro, the seif- agcused murderer of Frank Scisronne, or Tarro, which he was first talied, led to the arvest of à numLer of ltalians and more arrerts will be rate.If what Griro says is right Toronto is tafested with both the Black Hand and the Camorra, two of the most dangerous b lackmailing and vengeance organizations in the world.In his statement to the police Griro said : \u201cThere are a gang of Italians in Toronto who form part of the Camorra of Italy.They live on the fat of the land, do no work and hold their fellow countrymen in constant terror.They form a society with a name that means nothing.hoid = foke meeting now and then to lure on their compatriots, but the main object is the obtaining of money with the danger, the stiletto or the gun, always over the head of the victim.\u201cWhen money is handed over, following the high-handed demand of the plotters, the usual warning is given that : \u2018If father, mother, sister, brother, relative of any kind or friend is informed, you know what that means to our society, and you know the awful penalty.\u2019 \u201cBlack-handers or Comorrists place no value on life and think no more of killing a man than an animal.\u201d \u201cMany levies were made on me,\u201d continued Grivro.\u201cI gave regularly, but finally got tired of giving.I was arrested and many of my ene mies started the story that while in custody I had been an informer to the police.This I naturally denied, but it did not seem to greatly alter opinions.\u201cOne day one of the Black Hand came to me and informed me that a price had been set on my head and that | might expeet to be murdered at any time.| had already heard that my enemies were intent on harming me, hut on the latter information I decided to never go about, unless [ was

me out of business and my fears were then natmally turned towards him.\u201cWhen 1 went out on the Sunday of the tragedy I purchased a revolver from a barber named Rapella and also bought the knife.I

relief of widows and orphans, $4,573.91; funeral expenses, $1,646.45; nursing, 45; surgeons\u2019 fees, $1,561.85; and, special relief, $444.27.The total réleipts of lodges was $58,534.40, being $5,135.55 over expenditure and relief.The members of the Rebekah Assembly will also meet in the Masonic Temple on Wednesday morn ing at nine o'clock.The annual report of the Secretary, Mrs.H.Spencer, shows the order in a most flourishing condition, with a large increase in membership and finances.The delegates from Quebec will be: Albion Lodge\u2014P.Dale, T.Lane, J.Norton.Britannia Lodge\u2014L.Burran, A.P.Doddridge, R.H.Doddridge.Mercantile Lodge\u2014W.F.Fanning, W.J.Sharpe.Mrs.T.J.Nicol will be the repre- senative of Iona Lodge to the Rebekah Assembly.The Grand Lodge officers are: William Kennedy, Montreal, Grand Master;
