Our West, Lindsay Lindsay The Annual Meeting Shows Satisfactory Progress The annual business meeting of the Y.M.C.A. was held on Thursday night. Mr. Brodie Martin was chairman. Secre- tary Walker read the following report: At this, the close of another year, it afi‘ords us great pleasure to present; to you our annual reporn of the Young Men’s Christian Association. As we review the past; twelve months we have great reason to thank God for his direction and help ; also for the privilege which has been ours in carrying on His work. A GOOD YEAR IN Y.M.C.A. CIRCLES Your board of directors have met from time to time during the past year, and all matters pertaining to the interests of the association have received their careful and prayerful attention. The following is a. survey of the work which has been carried on during the past; year: Along the social lines we have endeavor. ed to welcome strangers and to make the young men feel that a pleasant time could be spent in the association. Receptions have been held during the winter months for the students, clerks, mechanics and railroad men; these have proved very beneficial in bringing the young men in touch with the work. In the past a good deal of attention has been given to the educational work. A large number of young men who had not the opportunity in their younger years of obtaining an education gladly accepted the advantages offered to them by the Y.M.C.A. Four classes were conductedâ€" one in penmanship, taught by Mr. F. A- Robinson; one in bookkeeping, by Mr. D. McDougall; one in mechanical drawing by Mr. A. Walker, and one in stenccraphy by M r. J. Peel. Three stude ts in the latter class wrote on the examiAion prepared by the International Committee of New York. At present the results of these ex- aminations have not been received. The facilities for physical work have been greatly improved; some new appar‘ atus has been added which has been used extensively by the young men. In the month of Match your board felt that if a bowling alley were added to the attractions it would be appreciated by the young men. In this we have not been disappointed, for it has proven to be one of the greatest drawing cards which the association offers. Our heartiest thanks are due Mr. W. Henley for his generous offer to put in the alley (which, needless to say, was accepted). We have been greatly encouraged by the large number of young men who have taken advantage of the physical work within the past few months. Last summer your board felt that in order to equip the Y.M.C.A. with the modern improvements a bath was needed, and for this end they worked. A number of youncz men of the town were interview- ed concerning the matter, and it was found that they were in sympathy with the movement. A convenient and commodi- ous room was fitted up which contains an excellent shower bath, with a shampoo attachment, and furnished with a liberal supply of hot and cold water. The best testimonial it can receive is its continual use bv the members. A great deal oi time and attention has been git en to the financial part of the work. It was found necessary, with the improvements which have been added, to raise {51.130 to free the association from debt until Mn lat, 1900. At the clase of the year (April 30) over 3800 had been paid in, and there still remains $350 of unpaid subscriptions.G As ~soon as these are. paid we will be able to c10se our books from all encumbrances. We wish to convey our heartiest thanks to those who have so generously supported us financially within the past twelve months. The membeiship has gr’eatlv increased during the past year. The special adVant- ages offered have done much to add new members. At present there are about 250 members on thc roll; this includes sustain- ing, ordinary, students and juniors. The religious work has been pursued quietly. If we have spent time and money on other things, it was only that this should be the crowning; of all. The men’s meetings have been conducted on Sunday 1L, Luvvunâ€"rjn 7, afternoon. These have been addressed by 1 the pastors and other religious workers of the town on subjects which were both practical and interesting. A bible class was held once a week by the secretary. The subjects discussed at this class was arranged b j the International committee, and were especially adapted for "beginners in christian life and bible study.” We sincerely hope that the effect of these ser- vices, week after week, will be felt week in the spiritual life of our members, and consequently in the association. Our sincere thanks are due the Ladies’ Auxiliary, who have kept the rooms so ;bright and attractive, and who have assist- led in many ways in making them look Our sincere thanks Auxiliary, who have bright. and attractive, ed in many ways in more home-like. IULO uvwv -â€"_-_ We are truly thankful to all those who have assisted us in any way, and especially to the local press. which hasso generously given space to present our work. The report was discussed for a few min- utes, and was adopted with great hearti- ness, it being the general impression that substantial progress had been made. WHERE TIIE PUBLIC GIVES ITS OPINION To the Editor of the Watchman-Wade: : SIR,â€"Un the front page of the Post of the 4th inst, ia a lengthy rigmarole, headed “001. Sam at the Front,” and credited to the Uxbridge Journal. In there really another paper in Canada so degraded as to print such trash? If the article in question was really taken from the Uxbridge Journal, then that must be L8 really interesting 2 paper ; and if it in the Just Like the Post. production of the Post and attributed to the other, then the Journal certainly has good grounds ior an action for slander. There could be no worse thing said about any individual or paper than that he or it would descend to the publication of such silly twaddle with the purpose of bringlng ridicule upon a fellow-being. But by one who knows that the family of the indivi- dual sought to be ridiculed, will be in danger of seeing the stuff. and knows the sensitive nature of the members of that family and recognizes the loneliness and. grief felt at his absenceâ€"I say by one who know; all this and only by those who know it, cm the full force of the low-bred brutality of such an article he felt.’ And further, when one is acquainted with the sterling good qualities of the person assailed as compared with the meanness and malice of the assailant, how con- temptlble and mean the attack appears. Mr. Editor, I used to have an idea tha‘ the purposes of a newspaper were the education and enlightenment of the com- munitv in which it is circulated, but after reading the Post for some considerable time, I fail to see the first efiect towards education or enlightenment. Take for instance this paragraph in the same issue of the Post: “Recall the time when the proposal was first made that Canada should send a body of men, it will be re membered that the world etc., faring (I suppose for ‘during’) the few days when the government of Canada. conscious of a responsibility in the matter that did not occur to the irresponsible” e‘c , etc. Is there anything in that to enlighten ’3 Is there not rather a deliberate attempt to convey a wrong idea ".3 Yours, To the Town Council: Gentiemen,â€"-I feel deeply interes‘ed in the health and prosperity of the town and peOpie. and read with great pleasure your proposals and procedure in regard to the town as published in the local papers. But there was one subject I have missed â€"â€"scientific and improved ventilation This. to my mind, is the most vital sub‘ ject for every person, family and house. We cannot have health or comfort with- out it. It is greatly needed here. I‘ have not been in a house or church here‘ that has the right kind, except it may be one house. In vain we bulld houses or :hospitals or hotels if we have not the iright kind of ventilation. Mere opening of doors and windows does not secure it. I would suggest that a company be formed for the improvement of architect- ure and scientific ventilation. The two ought to be combined in the original de- sign of every building for domestic use; indeed. in every building. One thing which I should specially recommend that the board of health and council warn people against having only half chimneys They er especially dangerous in regard r0 cncbing fire and cannot be usesl for ventilation. It: was a eoo'y chimney talc- ing fire that earned the terrible fire in Hull and Ozzawa. Let us he on our guard. In these cltiee they are now lay- ing restrictions on builders, that were nos menthucd before this awful calamity took pl-«ca. In my remarks on ventila- Li' :1 those using patents are not meant.

Last Friday was a Busy Day for the Aged Statesman. “If the old only could” would never have become proverbial, if age had laid no heavier embargo on other people than it. has on Sir Charles Tupper. He was in town lasc Friday. He is eighty years old. On Thursday he was busy in his place in the commons. He was in Tor- onto for breakfast next morning and boarded the train that brought him here‘ by eleven o’clock. At the station Sir Charles was met by Mr. Sam Fox M.P.P., Principal Har- stone, Senator Dobson and Mr. Thos. Stewart. The cadets were drawn up near the platform. The aged statesman looked a trifle worn but conversed briskly With his companions as the carriage was driven to the Institute. His address to the students occupied about 15 minutes and dealt With the advantages of educa- tion. In his reference to the movement for free schools for Nova Scotia. in his early political days Sir Charles said. “I wasleadlng the opposition and my col- leagues said my policy of free schools would destroy our party. I replied that this was a matter of greater importance to the country than the existence of my political party.” At: one o’clock he attended a public luncheon at: the Benson house. About: 50gnests were present. After the ex- cellent spread had been discussed. a few toasts were honored. Sir Charles spoke very happily, Rev. J. W. Macmillan re- plied cleverly to “Our Defences" A number of people met Sir Charles at a reception held afterward at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paddon. In the evening: he lectured at: the Institute, on page one, areport of that EazTHE WATCHMAN-WARDER ; LINDSAY, 0N1. An Open Letter WAS IN TOWN [lecture will be found.

Many of the best designs for street gowns have thus far been made with bo- lero or bolero effects, and a great portion of the light cloth walking costumes are made with straight skirts, which is to say without ovcrdresses or any sort of double skirt or drapery.

They will consist of views of the United States senate in session. the home of representatives at work and a view of the Chicago board of trade on a busy day. It is said that the British exhibitors, exclusive of those in the art classes, number only 6-17. This seems almost incredible in view of the fact that 5,000 American and 4,000 German houses will be represented. but it is said to be owing to the coolness -aused by France’s friendliness toward the Boers.
