"I blame them for getting-all they can but I blame our Protestant friends for indifference," said he.

Foulkes, M.D. C.M,, Rev. iT. W, Savory, rector of St. James' church, officiating. The bride enter- ed the room on the arm of her father | to the straing of wedding music, | { wearing a handsome gown of Hard- ing blue canton crepe, with panels [ot filet lace and touches of gold, a | hat to match, trimmed with French | towers, and carrying a bouquet of bridal roses and orange blossoms. Her sister, Mrs. E.

After the ceremony the party repaired to the dining room where a real old English wedding breakfast awaited them. The toast of the bride and groom was given by the groomsman, and ably re- sponded-to by the bridegroom. The bride's gift from the groom was a diamond bar pin to the matron of honor a gold bangle and to the Eroomsman & gold pencil. Dr, and Mrs. Foulkes left for Welcome Point, N.Y., the latter smartly frocked in teupe broadeloth embroidered in wool, with hat to match, and a seal coat with Alaska sable trimmings.

There were at the prosent moment circulating petitions among 'Lhe people, and, he said it was necessary for Protestants whe appreciated what the changes, if on- acted really meant, to get ty work to prevent the government granting the request. It was therefore meces- sary to form in this county a Public School Defence League.

Arch. bishop McNeill says that if the 8ap- arate schools aro not given tho fin- ancial benefits asked 80,000 children will have to be sent from school. To that we say the public echool system will take care of them all without prejudice to their greligion, but that is no reason why we should Jeopacr- dize the intcrostsiof 480,000 school children attending the public schools, often find things insist on going wrong.
