EntAIish officers have corne Vo Ca1nutIâa with extravagent ideas of t'5e dignity and importance of their position and have failed Vot appreciate the dem ocratic spirit of the Canadian militiaman, says the World correspondent. Those wvho kîuow Col.

Not too laVe yet, gentle-a men. Bestir yourselves.c *t The chain letter s again a-going. THE- STATESMAN saw one the oth- er day that originated with one "Miss Gould," ioi8 Sherbrooke street, Montreal, the object of said chain letter Vo raise money for comforts for Canadian contingent in Transvaal. Tbe Worid says Miss Gouid is one of the philan- tbropic ladies of Montreal. Three public men of Montreal are acting in conjunction witb Miss Gould in connection with this chain letter. The chaîn assumed such propor- tions that, at the request of Miss Gould, a committee was appointed Vo aid in its care. Speakers who toured Algoma -under the auspices of the Farmers' Institute state that the farmers are most comfortable, the land un- usually fertile and that the home market is sufficient Vo take ail of their products. The activity in minîng matters, the great imber interests and the numerous pulp milis that are being built will arn- ploy a lot of labor. The food sup- ply for this rapidly increasing pop- ulationi can bc most economicaily raised rigbt in Algoma, and the farmers are already putting into practice the ideas hey have re- ceived tbrough the Farmers' Insti- tute. In this respect hay mani- fest more good sense than many West Durham farmers, who shun the, Institute meeting as hey gan- erally do ollectors for missionar. îes or the Bible Society. FederaI Parliament opened at Ottawa last Thursdey, A long and bot session may be expected. ST. PAUL'S CHURCH. A VERY SUCCE SSFUL ORGAN RECITAL, AND RE-OPENING SERVICES. THE NEW PIPE ORGAN G REATLY ADMIRED. 1 Whenever the mnembers of St. -Paul's Presbyterian church in thîs town undertake any enterprise they carry it through Vo a success- fui termination., Unanimity of baim ai-d effort is one of their char- acteristics and the desire and aim of the managers are generally loy- ally and heartîiy seconded by the »people. Some moîiths ago tbey decided Vo erect a new lecture hall and scbool room to take te place of te basement heretofore used for these purposes. Liberal sîîh- scriptions were givehi and the work9 beguit. Contemporary wîth tbis extension was the decision by the congregation Vo put in anuewv pipe organ, s0 that in building the lecture hall the necessary improve- uDents and alterations forý the ac- commodation of the instrument were iîicorporated in the plants and specifications. The work having been completed, te public ser vices iin connection with the open- ing of the îiew organ and the inew sehool room took place, as an- nounced, lasV Friday cveriiiig and Suiîday both being eminerîtly sat- isfactory. 1The organ recital xvas atteidcdi by a large audience frovu town autd counîtry, despile inclemeîit weather, and a 90oodl progravu was wcll rendered.' The choir, now under the directorsbip of Mr. A. E. McLaugblin, \Xith M\iss Flor- ence Tilley, graduate of Toronto Conservatory of Music, (Instru-_ mental Departirict), and pupil of Mr. J. D. A. Tripp-, piano virtuoso, as organist, is tiec best that this churcli bas ever bad and its rend- ering of Mendelssohn's "I w aiîed for the Lord" anid Woodward's "C rossing the Bar" (Tennyson) was most creditabie. The committee was exceedingly fortunate in se- curing the services of Miss Jessie Perry,, organîst of Elm-SV. Meth- odist churcb, Toronto, grand- Saughter of Mrs. W. McMurtry of this Vown, as organist Vo assist Miss Tiliey. 1ler playing was exquis- ite and as an accoîDpanist good judges here dlaim that she is one of the best that Itas been heard here foi a long time. The several num- bers including7 sudh compositions as "Grand Chorus (D Major)- Gteiiictît, çeverture to William Tell -Rossini, and "March Militaire" -Guotod-Ai-che),, were played witb an excellence that wvon the favor of ail. Another pleasing feature of te program wvas the solo sing- ing of Miss Marion McLauighlin wbo at the last minute almost was called on Vo take the place of Miss Glover wbo was unable from a cold Vo sing. Miss McLaughlin seented Vo rise Vo the occasion and in the solos "Abide with me" and "Angel's Serenade" she excelled herself. Mr. H. J. Knight sang one solo "Hosannah" wîth bis usual dash and spirit. The violin playing by Miss Maude Fairbairn was apprecîated as much as any- tbing on the program. She bas a good violin and she makes it liter- ally, or musically, talk. The tones of the vio 'lin and the organ harm- onize beautifully. The violin ob- ligato Vo Miss McLaugblin's solo Suînday nigbt faîrly cbarmed the immense audience wbo at first im- agined Miss Tilley xvas bringing violin music out of the pipe organ.

We have heard notbing but favorable comment from any source. The choir witb Miss Tilley at the organ conducted the praise services withgreat satis- faction. The afternoon services were held in the new scbool-room when appropriate addresses were delivered by the brothers Revs. J. J. and J. W. Rae. The pipe organ just -placed in the church is a splendid specimen fof the art of organ building, and illustrates the rapid advanccment \thich bas been mtade by the R. S. WVilliams & Sons Co. of Osbawa >in their earnest endeavors Vo pro- duce instrumnts wbicb they dlaim calînot be surpassed in conscien- tiousness of construction by any builder in Canada. The organ ivas designed by the firm's own artist, and the improvements in- troduced are of the very latest metbod. The organ is enclosed by a beautiful case of antique oak in the Renaissance style of archi- tecture very richly carved ai-d paneiled, and highly polished, and is sîîrmounted by three towers on which rest the largest front pipes, which are richly illumiîîated witb gold colors and artistically -decor- ated. Thc voicing on which de- pends in a giea't niasure thte suc- cess of tbe instrument is in itseif a life long study-and each stop is ebaracteu-ized by spe-ifle quality of tone, and tbe wbole combined produces a remuarkahle variety of 1 brilliant anid oirefully voiced s-tops e'usurîng a gran d sylmetrical cen- s=nble.

The West Northumberland Lib- erals met in convention at Co- bourg iast week when Mr. J. 13. McColl,, Barrister, w.as chosen as standard beareT~ for the Dominiion Housi" at next genîral elections. The Sentinel-Star, the local Con- servative org-an, on Friday pub- lished a report of the proceedings that was vile and false. First, tbe words of Mr. Miller, a Liberal worker in Haldimand, were falsely made Vo insult a large class of Co- bourg people. But worse than this was its unjust treatment of Mayor Huycke of Cobourg. Tbree nominations were made- McColl, Cbapman and Huycke in the order given. Mr. T. A. Cbap- man deciined the bonor in a neat speech. Mayor Huycke (who bas for a year treated with contempt te brutal attacks of the edîtor of the Sentinel-Star) in a brilliant] brief speech that was heartily ap- plauded, in concluding emphatic- ally declined the nomination for business and personal reasons, pledging support of the conven- tion's choice. The vote was then taken, Mr, McColl getting practic- ally the unanimous vote. The wicked Tory sheet represents Mr. Huycke as *"having a haîf dozen votes" while "Mr. McColl received nearly the entire vote," and says self of migbty small accounit in that community. We admire fair criti- cism always, but in- him fair play is evidently an absent quality.
