The proclamation of his Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Mortimer Clark, dissolving the eleventh Provincial Parliament of Ontario, will be issued on Saturday. Nomination day for candi- dates for the new Legislature has been fixed for the first of June, and in all rid- ings where there is a contestithe polling will take placc‘on the 8th of J unc.- The date for the issue of the writs has not yet been fixed ; but they must be in the hands of returning officers not less than sixteen days before day of nomination. MORE INFORMATION WANTED. The Peterborough “ Review,” last week, in an editorial denouncing Britâ€" ish, German or other preferences in the tariffs, says :‘ Wages in woollen manufactories in Great Britain are all the way from 60 to 130 per cent. low- er, according to, a fair comparison, than wages in similar factories in Can- ada,” and that “In Germany wages are still lower.” It would interest us very much to have our contempor- ary inform us, in an early issue, where those operatives who work for 130 per cent. less than the Canadian mills ' pay, get the price to pay for their jobs. Also, please, we are anxious to know whether, if the tariff were removed, the price of woollen goodswould drop 130 per cent. If so, by all means let it be removed before next winter, for, according tothe way we learned to do sums when going to school, by buyâ€" ‘ing about $250 worth at 130% less than the present price, enough cash would accompany the goods to pay for our winter’s supply of coal. If this isn’t correct, please show us wherein our logic is astray, Mr. Review, for our ignorance as to the benefits the working man derives from tarifl’s and similar cattle is sumpin’ turrible. W WTIOT UP.“ Spring is the season for houseclean- ing. It is also the season for out doors cleaning. The accumulations of the winter all over town, both on pub- lie and private property, should be cleaned up or burnt, all trees planted last year and failed to grow should be replaced, and as many new ones planted as possible, and everything made neat and tidy, spick and span, before the summer visitors begin to arrive. The first impression one obtains of a per- son or place is the one that sticks. Did you ever go to do business with a strange man and find him with untidy, unkcpt surroundings, clothing and per- son“.l Did n’t your opinion of him settle about a hundred degrees below what it would have done if he had been neat and clean in every way? Fcnelon Falls has got a name as one the pret- tiest spots in Ontario. Don ’t let her casual callers depart with the impres- sion that would accompany them from an interview with a reputed charming lady whom they found with an accum- ulation of pulverized terra firma repos- ing undisturbed under the shelter of her auricular appendages. Tidy up, for decency’s sake. “ne‘umsf The average newspaper subscriber es- timates the value received for his dollar by the amount of paper contained in the newspaper for which he has subscribed, entirely regardless of whatimay beprint- ed on the said paper.

Under a big double column scare head, it had a very interesting column descriptive of an m- cident which ostensiny had occurred in a New York church a few days before, but which was nothing more nor less than an extract copied, almost verbatim. from one of the Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon's popular religious novels. Truly spoke the man who told the members of the Canadian Press Aseocla- tion, at their recent convention in "Forâ€" onto, that what the newspaper busmcss needed was more brains and less pulp. Oneâ€"of the most enjoyable evenings ever spent by the members of either the local Odd-fellows or Foresters was that of Friday last, when these two Orders and their friends fratcrnizcd at a ban- quet in the lodge roons on Colborne street, and afterwards at a concert 1n Twomey's hall. The proceedings com- menced at about 8 o'clock, when the three large tables provided for the occa- sion were surrounded by the assembled guests ; and, after Rev. C. S. Lord had In- voked a divine blessing, an attack was made on the heaps of good things With which they were laden. About an hour later, when all had lost interest In the first part of the proceedings and had as- asscmbled in Twomey's hall, Mr. R. M. Hamilton took the chair, which he filled in his usual genial manner. The hall had been handsomely and tastefully dec- orated with flags, bunting and Chinese lanterns, as had also the lodge rooms, and the effect was extremely pleasmg. The orchestra, consisting of Messrs. Ed- ward and William Chambers, Harry Lit- tleton and Barkley Mason, rendered sev- eral selections during the course of the programme. The other . numbers were a solo by Dr. Wilson, violin solo by Mr. W. McDougall, solo by Miss L. .G. Wilson, instrumental selection by.MIss Irene McDougall, violin solo by Miss C. Brandon, song by Miss Anna Morri- son, of Lindsay, speeches by the Rev. C. S. Lord and the Rev. W. H. A. French, 5010 by Miss Bryans, and Violin solo by Mr. Wm. Chambers. The participants all acquitted themselves admirablyand received hearty applause; and little Miss Morrison, who for so extremely youthful a soloist displayed exceptional ability, “ brought down the house.‘ The programme. concluded shortly after 10 o‘clock, and, with the sincring of the National Anthem, a most enjoyable evenâ€" ing came to an end. Cow Testing ASSOOIalIOH Formed. The following, from the Lindsay Even- ing Post of Saturday last, will Interest all keepers of dairy cattle : “ D. E. McKenzie, organizer of the cow testing association, is in town to-day, and will probably remain for some time. T he object of the association and of Mr. h‘chcnzie's visit is to start a movement to thin out the poorer milch cattle and keep only good ones. In other words, he is eudeavoring to improve the class of stock all over the country. . “ A few figures will probably be of in- tcrest, in view of what Mr. McKenzre _Is trying to do. The average output 111 Ontario now for milch cows for a season is 3,000 pounds. At the Government Ex- perimental Farm at Guelph the best cow there gave 20,000 pounds of milk, which shows what can be accomplished when scientific means are employed. The pres- ent average is thought to be far too low, and the government is making an en- deavor to raise it very considerably. Mr. McKenzie came to Lindsay from Beaverton,"whcre he met, with gratify- ing success.” M r .__.--,...._.__._ --_... Personals. Mr. Geo. A. Calder was in Peterborough on business on Thursday.

MARRIED IN NEW YORK.-â€"â€"From the: Toronto Globe of Thursday of last week: we clip the following notice of the wed- ding of a former resident of the Falls, which took place in. New York, and to which we had the honor of an invites-â€" tion: “The marriage of a young Canaâ€"r dian who has‘made his mark in New York took place Tuesday afternoon in the Collegiate Church, Fifth Avenue. Mr; William T. Dewart, formerly of Fen< elon Falls, Ontario, married Miss Mary Louise Wheeler, daughter of Mr. T. H. Wheeler, of the Standard Oil Company,. who has a summer residence in the.- Thousand Islands." WOMEN'S Insurersâ€"The regular meet- ing of the Women’s Institute was held last Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Jesiah Flett, in Verulam. The meeting was well attended, and was one of the best held this year, a number.“ driving out from the Falls. Several‘ papers were read by the members and the subjects well discussed. A paper on vegetable gardening, by Mrs. Minthorn, placed many good suggestions before:,. the people, and several new ideas were- brought out. Mrs. Fell gave a short: paper on floor finishing, and Mrs. Gould read one on “ The Way of the World." Luncheon was then served by the host- ess, and the meeting closed by singing the National Anthem. The next meeting will be held in Dickson’s hall, Fenciorr Falls, on the last Friday in May. This. meeting is expected to be of especial-1 interest, as many of the ladies have ofâ€" fered to demonstrate on the making of - cakes, etc. Embroidery work will also be taken up. The members are request- . ed, as many as possible, to be present, I and to be ready to join in the discussions. A superb finish is obtained by using Campbell's Varnish Stain on floors, flll‘ll.‘ iture or interior woodwork. These stains are sold in 15, 25, 75 and $1.40 cengcans.
