KDW. J. B. PENSE. PROPRIETOR. I'HE DAILY WHIG. Opiter per Orbem Dicor.' Be THE NPWSPAPER AS A MIRROR. The newspaper, containing a record of ench day's events, reflects the lights and shades of human life. How many of the distresses, not to say trage- dies, are due to domestic differences ? Within 'a few minutes, at a sitting, there come these intimations. Two men in Ogdenshurg songht to commit suicide by drowning, and were pre vented, one of them being followed to the water by his little son, whose frantic eries brought to the scene a resche party. Home life unhappy. A baroness in England had secured a divorce from her husband, whose diversion was to kick and otherwise maltreat her, Affection dead--il it ever was alive, A woman in New York wrote let tere to a gentleman friend, which she had re-addressed to her, using gosh: ing and extravagant language. Her hushand saw -and read them. An ac tion for divorce follows, Her excuse wae that she wanted to re-awaken his fowe, and she killed it. Last of all comes the collapse of a man through genuine grief. He lived at Jamestown. His wile died. He could not work, nor sleep, nor rest. Daily he had visions and pined for touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that was stilled. Eventually he died. "I have heard," said his phy- wician, "of people dying of a broken heart, but I have never seen a case until this one." Its a glimpse into real life. It's a revelation as to the feelings which should exist between a wan and his wife. The day's picture, then, leaves impressions. Which is the one that lingers in your mind ? ------------ A VERY SAVE LEADER. The work which has been asvigned to Rev. E. D. McLaren, D.D., of Van couver, and the honor that goes with it, call attention to a man who has so far made a success of life. Mr. McLaren is remembered by the Whig as a student of Queen's. He realized even then that life is real, that life is earnest, snd so he applied timself to hie studies, and in due ime passed out of the university and into his chosen profession with noble thoughts aud high ideals. He laboured in Brampton for some years, then received a call to Vancon- ver, accepted it, and is now regar bd as "a leader of the religious forves un He has been pro- in re "its the Pacific const." gressive all the while, expanding usefulness and preparing for the sponsibilities of his new office, that of general secretary of home missions. Mr. McLaren has peculiar qualifica- tions for the work. He has experi- ence, scholarship, sympathy, enthus-| jam, capocity, a splendid endow- merit which has been consecrated to the highest service. He has been zoul- ous in every calling so far. In his new sphere he will have a larger vis- jon, a wider adaptation of his energy, a new impulse for his religious fer- vour. One sees in his case the evidence that the door of opportunity has been opened as the man advanced and fit- tex] himself for the duties that lay before him. So far his carcer has been an inspiration unto others who fol low in his footsteps, and the world has none too many of the men whose leadership is always safe right direction: a GREAT BURSTS OF SPEED. The railroad companies have enter ed into a competition with each other at to the speed of their traine ana their success in -hringing distant pointe: "together." 7 ny The Pennsylvania railway has a train which runs between New York and Chicago at an alleged, saving 'of several hours.

There may be a limit in what steam power can do, but electricity is capable of won: drowns expansion, and there are those who predict that it will ere long be applied to railroading generally, and regardless of expense.

HELD Sir Richard Cartwright Address- ed the Cadets--Commandant's Address -- Graduates, Prizes and Commissions. The Royal military college closing exercises were held at ten o'clock this morning, about two hundred visitors attending. As Sir Richard Cartwright, acting premier of Canada, drove into the grounds, the union jack was rais- ed on the square facing the college building. The cadets in command of Capt. Logan, were put through their drill and marching, at the saluting base being the acting premier and Lieut. Col. Reade, commandant. Fol lowing this exhibitions of gun drill and gymnastics were given by parties of cadets, after which the assembly proceeded to the gymnasium, where addresses were given by the com: mandant and Sir Richard Cart- wright, and the gradnates, commis- sions and prizes announced, Commandant's Address. "I have the honor to report as fol lows regarding the Royal military college : : "At the commencement of the term there were eighty-two cadets. Owing to free discharges this number has been now reduced to eighty-one; and on the discharge of the first class, the number remaining will be sixty-two! Of those who obtained free dischary es, three were appointed to commis sions in the CM. R., South African contingents in December and May, having been selected by the mini ter of militia from a large list of volun. teers recommended by me. That these cadets upheld the honor of the RK. M. C. aml of Canada, on active seriice, may be recalled to notice, when 1 say that one of them, Lieut. Loudon, formed part of the detachment of the ond CM.R., who at Hart's River so greatly distinguished themselvos, un der Lieut, Bruce Carruthers, himself a graduate of the Royal military col lege. "The conduct of the cadets has been satisfactory and their health ex cellent. The wid summer examinations have on the whole been very satisfac tory and all the examiners report that a high standard has been wmauin- tained. "I closely examined the first class in reconnaissunee in the field, caus- ing them to report on a wide area of the country in the vicinity of Ning ston. Thus. camping groumis, and outpost lines were reported on, il lages and vgsitions placed in a state of defence, roads surveyed, et On the whole the results showed a good eye for country, and a good gronding in administration, tactics, feld engi neering, atilery and topography "Ai good standard in gymnastics, ens gineering, infantry, and artillery rrills has been maintained. Revolver shoot ing has improved, although Sand hurst, Eng., was again this year vie torious in the inter-college revolver match. Rifle shooting has obtained very satisfactory all round results, and for a secomwl time the annual rifle match against Sandhurst has been won by the R. M. C "Sigmalling has been attend d with much better results; this is in great part due to careful training on an improved system. And 1 have now no hesitation in saying that the Roy al military college can always furnish the militia of Canada, in case of mo bilization, with twenty to thirty sig nallersy and this is a matter of no small importance when it is recollect ed how poorly provided our forees here are with that essential adjunct to military operations, viz, signal ling."

Our military college is perhaps the young est in the British empire, and it is satisfactory to know that it has main tained a splendid record in all parts of the empire, a record which fully justifies the experiment made over twenty-five wears sgo when the in stitution was founded For a period of two or three years past; many lessons have been taught to ws and to the whole empire, les sons which we will sot forget. Amon these is the lesson that a small peo ple, if determined, mav stand against the strongest amd greatest empire of the varth. It was a source of great satisfaction to the speaker that while the empire had been put to a severe strain, great assistance was given hy the colonies, and Canada had not been last amd least in the South Af rican war. None had shown more dis tinguished bravery on the field than the graduates of this college. (Ap plausel. Sir Richard said he bad no intention of claiming Canada to be superior to the arms of the other colonies or to those of Britain, but in the annals of history, he declared it would be hard to find a case of a sol dier who had shown greater bravery than that of his friend, Lieut. Bruce Carruthers at Hart's river. (Ap plause ). The traditions of the Roval military wolbiege have been nobly upheld in the war, and the speaker said he looked to the present graduates and their successors to uphold the reputation of Canada. Nothing had done more to cement the links between Britain and Canada than had the establish ment of the Royal military college and work' of its graduates. Of the Intter there were 120 in the service of the British army, and the imperial authorities were only sorry there were not more. Pp In concluding, Rir Richard the graduates to always show them selves, as had their predepessors, worthy of being graduates of the Roy al military college.

Yestepday's baseball match at Gan anoque between the home team and Ponies was a sarprising one in many instances. At the outset Ponies look ed like sure winners, and undoubted ly this expectation would have been realized had they made errors. In the first three innings on jes tallied up one run for each In the fourth innings Gunanogue scored five and Ponies one, making the score five to four for Gananoque. In the fifth innings Ponies mada another sur prising play and run in five more pointe, giving them a lead of four points, and in the seventh another run was added, making a total of ten to five. ln the eighth innings Ganan oque's score jumped to ten, and in the ninth to fourteen, ghila in the last round at the bat Ponies could not do better than ring up two rons Thus the stood fourteen to twelve in favor of the home team Errors on both sides were frequent The match was umpired by Mr. Phil lips, who gave perfect satisfaction "Chaucer" Elliott met with an ae dent that will keep him out of the gama for some days.

And they add that sich un hotel would not only do for summer tourists, but would 'also be a boon to the travel ling public, in geweral all the year arocnd. But they object stromgly to his owt spoken amd blunt statements that military garrisons bring in fads, fash. jos, und social fesetroms, and kill commerce and inlastry.
