GANANOQUE WEDDING FOR WHICH KINGSTON SUPPLIED THE GROOM. Cecil Bateman, B.Sc. Weds Miss Agnes Rogers--A Farewell Re- ception Given to George Gallop. Gananoque, May 1.~The home of alr. and Mrs. J, L. Rogers, Sydenham street, was the scene gf a pretty event last evening, it being the occa sion of the marriage of their eldest daughter, Miss Agnes Fulknor Nelson Rogers, to Cecil Bateman, B.Se., Kingston. The geremony was per formed at eight o'clock hy Rev. Henry Graegy, pastor of St, An drew's church, before a number of guests. Following the ceremony the bridal party repaired to the dining ball, tastily decorated, and partook of an excellent wedding supper. «The bride was the recipient of many handsome and costly presents, attesting to the great popularity she enjoyed. Miss Rogers has lived all her life in Gan- anogue and has mn very large circle of friends, who will miss her very much. For several years she filled, with ex- cellent success, the position of teacher of King street public school in one of the junior forms, Mr, and Mure Batewan left at midnight for the west to spend their honeymoon. The choir and young people of Christ church tendered a farewell bene- fit concert to George Gallops in the Anglican parish house last Srening Mr. Gallops has been a resident the town for several years, 0 as a musician and artist has plied his pro fession most successfully. Of late he has decided to leave for the west, where the prospects are better, and last evening's entertainment was the outcome of this. decision, The rector in charge, Rev. W. Hatt Lipscomb, og cupied the chair, and an excellent pro- gramme of vocal and instrumental mu sic and recitations was well rendered. The coal schooner Clara left yes. terday for Oswego Mrs. T. M. Cornett, Church street, is conlived to her home seriously ill. J. J. Davis, M.D., is spending some time in London this week at the bedside of his father, Thomas G. Davis, of that city, who is seriously ill. Frederick Lafrance, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leander Lafrance, North street, has secured a situation in Smith's Falls. Edward LaRose, of Carleton Place, spending the past two weeks in town, left for Ottawa yesterday. Miss Edith Jackson, who spent her holidays here with her parents, has returned to resume her duties 'as teacher in the Secley's "Bay public school. Mr. and Mrs, Hugh Wilson, Pine street, and Miss Maud McKen- zie, King street, attended the convoca- tion at Queen's College, Kingston. Canada's Astounding Growth. This national development took time in the progress of Canada. She seem- ed to be standing sWll. In reality she was only getting up steam. Twenty-five years ago Canada not 2,000 miles of railroads. she has 23,000 miles. Then she h o-dranseontinestial road. To-day » has three. Twenty-five years ago her total out- put of gold for all time did not ox- ceed $50,000,000. To-day she has taken out of Klondyke alone more than $100,000,000. In 1851 Canada's total trade $34,000,000. To-day it is over 000,000. In 1851 her population was not 3, 000,000. To-day it is almost 7,000, 000, In 1851 Manitoba's population was not 18,000. To-day it is_almost 500,- 000. dn 15871 there was only one small town on the Canadian Pacific coast, Victoria. -Toslay there are two large citfhs, and a third city is in the making, --Prince-Rapert, the terminus of the Grand "Trunk Pacific,--and there are hundreds of smaller towns Twenty-five years ago vou could not, sell North-West land at £1.50 aa acre.

Dr. William R. ton, of New York, said recently that it was more dangerous to be a rail- way brakeman than to be a murderer, and proved his assertion with statis tics showing that one murderer in sev. enty-three was hanged, whereas one brakeman in thirty was killed. Discussing this startling fact the oth- er day, Dr. Huntington said that the widespre rad spirit of selfishness was no doubt responsible. "We incline," he said, 'to put our selves too far ahead of other people. We could all make no better new year resolution than to be loss selfish. As it is, we are too much | like the art student. "There was, you know, a poor Ver mont art student, who shared a studio bedroom "with a journalist from Wis- consin. "The 'Vermonter went out ote morn- ing to do the marketing and brought home two chops. He laid thom on the table, and the cat leaped up and de- voured one. Hunting ' he said to his Wiseon- sin friend, "the eal has eaten your chop. * DRINKERS AND GLASSWARE. Ten Million Tumblers Destroyed Every Year. A New York despatch says: Ten million glasses, costing $4,000,000, are smashed every vear in the 24,000 cafes and other drinking places .of - New York state, aecording to these who are engaged in replacing the beer or whiskey anaes and the finer vessels used when champagne is ordered. Most of these glasses are the cheap five-cent beer glass, but in the more fashionable cafés the breakage con- sists of the finest etched glass, French crystal, or even valuable Behemian goblets delicately tinted to harmonize with the shade of some rare vintage. Such glasses may cost anywhere up to forty or fifty cents, lt is not nee- essary, however, for these delicate glasses to fall to the floor. The mere rapping on the edge of one of them with » fork or knife to sum- mon "garcon"' or "keliner" may pat a tiny khick in the lip of the glass and make it useless to the hotel, which prides: itself .on furgishing only perfect glassware, no platter what may be the beverage, whether heer or some rare old port or champagne, New York city is the heaviest loser by accidents to drinking. glasses, and the dealers in these commodities are, consequently, among the busiest in the world, replacing the huge pile of glosses put on the junk heap every night in the 7.000 odd drinking places scattered along "Incandescent Row.' In fact New York is probably one of the few eities where an entire husiness section is devoted to wholesale deal ers in bar and other glassware. In the White ' Light district there are at least 100 places where, accord- ing. to glassware dealers and manu- factuters, the breakage averages $2,000 year énch, while in some the bill is AF: larger. Ewen the smallest of sa- loons will use up about 8 per month in glasses, and this does not include an occasional mirror in which some longshoreman takes a shy at himself with a brick--just to hear the tinkle. It is absolutely imperative that drink receptacles in even the unpreten- tious cafes must be above reproach. If a glass is "nicked" in the slightest degree it is cast from uke, not only because it ght offend a customer's vision or a his lip, but also be- cause the swift moving can not take a chance of his hands mutilated. "mixer" having Ladies' Wash Dress. Simplicity of line marks this grace ful dress, which is suitable for any of the wash materials. The blouse -waist is. plain in design, but with sufliciént fullness allowed for a wide group of tucks on each shoulder, which are stitched to shallow yoke depth. The plain space in the centre front and back can be filled with hail embroid- ery. The sleeves are made full and are tucked into an embroidered cufi. The shirt is cut th nine gotes and is trim- med with a deep fold of the material. Quaint "How D'yé Do's." A French journal has been looking" into the question of how different races express 'How do vou do?" and gives some curious examples The Koreans, for instance, greet each oth er with the remark, "Youn look old," and no offence is given or im plied. Pergians say "May Allah pre serve your beard and cover it with benediction." Among a'tribe of Fiji Islanders the correct form of saluta- tion is to pull one's ear. A Caroline Islander kneels before his friend, whose foot he grasps and slaps himself vig- orously in the face with it. In the Soudan a traveller was addressed by a native chief as 'Mighty Sun." the said chief finishihg up with "Glory to thee, O splendid * moon," the remark being aceentuated by spitting in the traveller's right hand. -------------- do time" to sprinkle grass seed cn your Red Cross "Now is a gooll Kentuesy lawn lawn.
