pia ¥ THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG -- THROUGH ETERNAL SPIRIT * A Study of Hebrews, James and I. Peter BY Joseph F. McFadyen, M.A., D.D. To many readers the Epistles sound remote and unintellig- ible. In this volume the writer of "Jesus and Life" has brought =, them very close to our modern world. He makes us feel that the issues of those days and of these are in essence much the same; and by a skilful running exposition which avoids all theo- logical technicalities; he lets the light of three great Christian minds fall upon our modern needs and problems. / Price $1.65 ' R.

Earlier dates than usual have | been 'selected for the Ottawa Ex- | hibition. i For many years it has been the! rule to have the Ottawa Exhibition | follow the Canadian National a' | Toronto, with the result that the Ot- [tawa dates frequently were marked | with decidedly cool and rainy | weather. This year the fair will come on ahead of thé Toronto dates, August 22 to 29. With the many good roads leading into the Capital it is felt that the August dates wiil | appeal to motorists not only from | Ontario and Quebec, but also those from the United States and from more distant Canadian points. Another innovation this year is Creatore and his band. . This magnificent organization = with its peerless leader will he heard each afternoon and evening from a new bandstand being erected in the main grounds. In the past, Creatore and | band have commanded $1.00 to | $1.50 prices, but with the exhibition engagement, the two concerts may he heard each day for the small ad- mission of 25 cents, in fact for less than this amount as strip tickets giving six admissions for a dollar are now on sgle. The directors are aiming at a half million attendance and the pro- gramme {8 being arranged accord- ingly. The fair will open on Satur-| day, August 22, with automobile | races, and will contimue for seven full days and nights. On the closing day there will be a special pro- | gramme of sports in addition to the | other attractions. Educational features and petitions in various lines i deavor will be above the usual | standard of excellence. Special at- | tention is also devoted to the amuse- ment side of the big exhibition. The midway will be replete with new shows, new rides and a hundred and one things to surprise and please old and young. In front of the grandstand the strongest programme ever arranged by the exhibition is promised. This will include high class comedy, thrilling aerial acts, horse racing, auto polo, auto races, the day concluding with a spectacu- lar fireworks display. Prize lists are now available and may be had, with all other informa- tion, from J. K. Paisley, secretary- manager, City Hall, Ottawa. | com- | of AMUSEMENT TAX. Dance Halls Will Be Hard Hit By The New Clause. The néw amusement tax is going to affect dance halls considerably. In addition to collecting a tax of ten per cent, on admission tickets, the government is persisting in collect- ing an additional tax of twenty per cént. on dancing tickets. The total | and restaurant | special tax will amount t6 about thirty per cent. It is not known just how the new regulation will aftect the soéial dances, such as those held through- out the winter and in the various summer resorts, but it is likely to put them out of business owing to the expense involved in installing "choppers" or approved collecting machines and the printing of special double tickets. Dancing, being re- garded as an amusement, is being made to contribute to the upkeep of our public hospitals and other insti- tutions. Canadian Pacific.

Fraser was painfully in- jured in the right eye when a piece of steel from a chisel with which he was trimming a block of stone flew up and plerced the eyeball and was by the X-ray to have lodged in the orbit above the eye. For the present all efforts of the doctors are being directed toward saving, if at all possible, the sight of the eye, but an operation will pro- bably be necessary at*$ome future time to remove the fragment of metal from above the eye. FINE NEW CAFE OF ARNIEL & HAMBROOKE [At the Corner of Union and Division Streets Hes Opened its Doors. On Tuesday morning the new cafe at the cormer of Union and Division streets, almost opposite the entrance to Queen's University, opened its doors under the management of Messrs. Arneil and Hambrooke. A great transfor- mation has been wrought in 'what re- | cently housed C. R. McLeod's groc- | ery since this well-known firm of caterers took over the building on the first of May. The building, which | also included several homes on Divi. | sion street, was raised several feet on stone foundations. Two dining halls, one on the ground floor and one In the first storey, were laid out | along Division street with the kits | chen and other necessities of a large | restaurant to the east. The dining-room on the top floor, which will be finished in about a week, is designed for & banquet hall and is admirably suited for parties and dances, as the building through- out is hardwood floored. There are dressing rooms for ladies and for men and a serving room adjoining, The dining room on the ground floor yas completed for the first of the week. It will seat 125 persons while the hall upstairs, which is larger, will easily accommodate 175 people. Both halls are very attrac- tively finished in mahogany and brown, each with a pretty brick fire- place at one end, and provided with ventilating arrangements. The kitchen is fitted with the last word in such equipment. There is also a lunch-counter on the ground floor just east of the dining-room. It will also stock cigars, delicacies, etc. Otherwise the service is not | cafeteria but cafe and restaurant style. Being 80 near the university the proprietors expect to secure a largo student trade, but they also look for much patronage from the citizens in general. The rates are as follows: Weekly tickets (continuous), $5.50; meal tickets, twenty-one meals, $7; as well as menu cards on the table from which patrons may order what they desire. Kingston Daily Standard. The sale of The Daily British Whig of this city to W. Rupert Da- vies of The Renfrew Mercury marks the passing of the eontrol of that paper from the hands of the family in which it has restell since its es- tablishment in 1834 by the late Ed- ward John Barker, M.D., whose grandson, the late E. J. B. Pense, took it over upon the decease of the founder. Thus this change of con- trol is in a sense an historic event and one which we have no doubt many of the old time residents will hear with a sense of deep regret. Under Mr. Barker, the paper flour. ished but it came to the heyday of its prosperity under the late Mr. Pense, as excellent a newspapermen as he was a splendid citisen and a fine gentleman, and it nas beem ads mirably conducted ever since ofA bo. half of the Estate hy a splendid body of loyal and efficient workers. No official statement has yet been forthcoming from the new publisher but the natural inference is tha' the paper will be continued as a Libe, newspaper since the paper whish : Davies now conducts is Liberal and this is the fleld in which The Whig has worked and developed in King ston. The management of The Standard extends the right hand of fellowship to the new publisher and wishes him every measure of success and pros- perity. .

FitzGerald Tells the Ot- Orangemen. tawn- Ottawg Journal . "I need not tell you to be true to the Union Jack. It is our flag, and I would like to see anyone try to take it away from us." In these words Canon W. F. FitzGerald, of Kingston, noted churchman and prominent Orangeman, voiced from the pulpit of St. George's Anglican church the sentiment of a huge gath- ering which filled the church and street outside it on Sunday after- noon. Orangemen should never speak ill of those of other creeds or poljtical persuasions, he said.. Christians of all churches are one corporate body, and the church is in no danger of breaking up. Addressing himself to the women members of the Orange Order, Can- on FitzGerald commended their work on behalf of the poor and needy, and urged a continuance of this Christian labor. To the whole Orange Order, in which he express- ed pride in belonging, he recom- mended a consecration of energy to public service and labor in love and brotherhood to all mankind. i Hit F 2 § il e fii j Ex : i iy i 4 i vera Summer has come to stay.
