The canadian gleaner, 11 juillet 1907, jeudi 11 juillet 1907

[" \u2014 + e Aus Canadian Gleaner Hentingdon, Que, July 11, 1907 NOTES OF THE WARK \u2014 Cheese during the week has steadily decliped in value end lower quotations are looked for.The supply has increased of late and shipments sre beginning to approach those of last year.But- tor keeps steady aud the make ls so small, owing to combined factories running om chesse, that prices are likely to be malntais- ed round 20c.Shipments continue trifling, prices in England allowing no margin.As tending to decrease the number of undesirable immigrants the U.S, government now collects $4 instead of $2 a head.The tax is payable by the steamship companies, which increase the passage money by that amount.The medical examination is strict than before, means is taken to discourage the unfit from leaving Europe.The probability of war between Japan and the United States furnishes a topic for sen- satjonal papers.The ordering of several warships to San Francisco is taken as proof that negotiations for the settlement of the difficulties that exist be- tweeen the two governments are more and every not going on favorably.This le denied at Washington, and so far as regards the school and other troubles in California is correct.The menace to peace lies in the determination of Japan to have her people treated as whites\u2014 free to enter the United States » and accorded the rights and protection other immigrants re- eeive.Apparently Roosevelt is willing to agree to this if the ooolle class ls excepted, and on the yielding of this point by Japan depends much, One proposal ls, that if Japan will agree, the Philipine islands be ceded to her.The yellow peril is at the door of our neighbors and has to be settled.John D.Rockefeller, undoubtedly the richest man in the world, was examined in a lawsuit in Chicago on Saturday.In reply to questions he declared he had retired from active business eight years ago and was only a sleep ing partner in the Standard oll company.Asked as to his profite from his share in it, he said they had averaged 40 per cent.Yearly for some time back.What are the profits of its Canadian counterpart-\u2014the Imperial?The Dublin exhibition has not proved so far to be a financial success.This is partly due to the efforts of the Sinn Fein so- olety In boycotting it.To give it a dift, a royal visit is being made this week, and huge crowds are the result.The king has no cause to complain of his welcome, and all acoounts agres ia representing the exhibition as a credit to Ireland.In several regards it is superior to any yet held, and is remarkably well managed.The split between the nationalists \u2018and the Sinn Fein has been made complete by Redmoad\u2019s denouno- ing the latter, and the two factions are now having à dolight- » = le ot tu vonuion né WS.Mague |A ééééeraik thet Would resist the topics discussed are of see- ondary impirtance, malaly relat ing to the rights of neutrals.Thy presence of a deputation from Korea to submit complaints regarding Japan's occupation of their country, has given deep offence to the Mikado's represes- tatives, who biame Russia.What may prove to be a mors effective agency in abolishing war than this pretentious conference, le the fact of aa airship having had a successful trial at Paris on Monday.With 4 mea on board, the airship ocircleq over the city for 45 minutes, going wherever steered independent of the wind.It went at the rate of 18 miles an hour against the breese that was blowing.Such an airship could drop explosives into camp and fortress that would destroy everything.The French government as part of its military equipment is building 20 of these airships and tralning men to manage them.HOWICK A letter was read in Howick and Riverfield churches from Rev.Mr Laird, acknowledging the generosity of the people in con tributing, in the course of a week's canvassing ,the sum of $408 for Queen's.university, Kingston.Contributions are being solicited towards a memorial to be erected in memory of the late George Bruce, who lost his life by drowning In successfully attempting to save the life of young Laberge.Haying-is much later than usual this season, and will be a light crop owing to dry weather.A pleasant day was spent by a large number of children and friends belonging to the Georgetown congregation, at a picnic held on the church grounds last Friday.Dinner having been served in the basement, à number of interesting games were contested by oid and young.Th>appearance of the church and manse grounds has been much enhanced by the planting of trees and erection of ornamental fencing.Lightning rod companies have been reaping a harvest in this section, much to the chagrin of some of the farmers, as the installation has proved more exe pensive than expected, The ornaments, however, improve the appearance of the bulldings.By the accidental discharge of a revolver which he was carrying in his pocket, the Chrysos- tome stage-driver was shot thru the left hand.! R.Ness, senr., arrived home from ths Old Country on Tuesday._\u2014\u2014\u2014 Ste.MARTINE On Sunday the base-bail club of this place was defeated by the Beauharnols club.The agricultural society bas commenced buliding pens for sheep for the coming show,which takes place on the tenth of September.On Monday Joseph Hebert was elected commissioner for the schools along with Joseph Simon.Wo are in want of rain for grain and pasture.pS CHATEAUGUAY A movement in thé council to compel the property - owners fronting the river to build a sidewalk between the upper and lower villages was voted down by those interested.In some places the road is neariy on a level with the river, 00 that this spring fresh.ots of ice and Water usually carries any\u2019 sort of foot-pathi lato the river, or leaves

players, who was struck on the head with the ball and fell unconscious.It Is rumored that a bandstand may be erected in the park and that we will be given a concert by the band twice & weck.The grass In the park has been cut, but we see no sign of the stand yet.We hope this project has not been laid aside, as It would be quite an entertainment for not only the residents of Valleyfleld but of the numerous strangers who visit our town during the summer months, Jt would be a treat for ail lovers of mugic, who could, after their day's labor, spend a pleasant hour with their familles in the park.On Friday two citlson3 wh) had been visiting some of the suburban hotels, got Into a row with à man named Lavoie, and jeft him pretty badiy bruised.Ths police having been notified of the fact

Des- parios, aged 9 years, eldest son of H.B.Dgsparios, proprietor of the Chateauguay hotel, met his death hy drowning owing to the stick slipping from his hands and precipitating him into tha water, Being unable to swim and struggling frantically he came up about 8 feet from the wharf, \u2018whereupon his companion clutched tha tall of his coat, but the struggles of the lad in the water proved too much for his would-be rescuer and he was forced to let 10.When his playmate did not come to the surface again, the Joy shouted for help and soon canoes and boats came to the ~escue.One of the visitors, G.H.Lanning, quickly stripped himself and dived twice into the water but could not locate the body.Villagers then came with boats and hooks and within 15 minutes the body was found.Artificial respiration wag tried first by the villagers and then by some visitors till the arrival of the local physician, when ths boy was carried into the house and the treatment kept up for an hour and a half with no result.The lad was a pupil of the deat and dumb school of Mile End, and, altho possessing the power of speech was totally deaf.The sad \u2018atality cast a gloom on the village of Chateauguay Basin,where the boy and his father are both well Montreal July 8\u2014At the West End market prices showed an advance of 1-4c per Ib, which ls due principally to the very

\u2014For the ssconé was bulit the Methods t oburch bas undergone à course of rene vation and now stands as fresh and fair as whem it was opened 27 years ago.The occasion of this second overhauling was the proposal to instal a pipe-organ.It was seen that before that could be done the bullding would need some alterations, and the trustees agreed the oocasion should be taken to make repairs also.Architects are so conerned about appearances that they overlook such essentials as roofs that are watertight and chimneys that will draw, with the result of much annoyance and injury., mn places the roof leaked to the detriment of the celling and when the wind did not suit the chimneys they smoked.Thos,Chambers was engaged to rebuild the offending chimney and Reed of Montreal sent a man to repair the roof, which proved to be an expensive job.Then the masonry was re-pointed and the outside woodwork painted anew.The interior was re-decorated from a design furnished by R.E.Jones of Montreal, and which is entire-{ ly different from that it supersedes.The work was done by J.differences of opinion as to the colors and design given him to go by, all are agreed that Mr Bicknell has executed his contract in a way that does him credit.The walls are a pale green, picked out with terra - cotta and gilt; the ceiling, cream color.The alcove for the choir had to be enlarged for the organ, which it fills, It is a larger and more powerful Instrument than that of St.Andrew's, having 4 more stops, 180 more pipes, and costing $8500 against the $8170 paid for \u201cSt, Andrew's.Both organs come from the same makers, the Casavant brothers of St.Hyacinthe.The colors of the organ harmonize with those of the church, green tints predominating, and the beautiful cluster of pipes enhance what was already a strikingly handsome auditorium.The merits of the organ were fully exemplified on Friday evening, when Mr Farnam came from the city to give a recital.He tested It in every way, with selections ranging from grave to gay, from slow to fast, and from pealing trumpet tones to silvery whisperings, demonstrating the capacity and quality of the noble instrument.Mr Farnam expressed entire satisfaction, and his opinion goes far for he Is a musician who is going to make Canada proud of him.The recital was relieved by the singing of Miss Bertha Ferguson of Montreal and of Mr and Mrs Stevens.There was an audience that comfortably filled the church.On Sunday forenoon the re-opening service wag conducted by Rev.W.T.G.Brgwn of Montreal, with a large congregation in attendance.In the évening St, Andrew's dispensed \u201d with their service in order to \" join their Methodist brethren, with the result of a gathering the like of which has not been seed for a number gf yeprs, Mr Brown, ag- slsted by Mr Jones, and the pastor, Mr Stevens, again conducted the service.Migs Carter waa organist and demongtrated that, in securing her services for the next few months, a judicious selectign connection with the organ, ls the assistance given by former members towards paying for it.The sonsof the late Malcolm Mc- Naughton wore the largest contributors.Judge Maclaren, G.A Brown and others showed they had net forgotten Huntingdon, while Lord Mouat-Stephen sent thru Bis relative W.F.Stephen a TT] time sines It Tears of age, son of James Natou, D.Bicknell, and while

Rennie reports 15 telephones burned out.The lightning entered the house of Daniel Boyd breaking the plaster in a room where his grandson Stanley slept, and who was numbed by the shock.The bolt
