Fenelon Falls Bridge Editor of the Watchman-Warden Dear Sir :-â€"In your issue of July 25th, I think it was, that there ap- peared an article under the heading of the “Unlucky T hirteen,” telling. of the event of us being prosecuted for violating the law by driving OVer the iron bridge faster than a walk. We were the unlucky ones, true enough, because. hundreds have been doing the same for years. It was generally conceded that it didn't do the bridge any harm to trot over it. Neither does it do any harm, more than a. certain amount of wear and tear, 'same as anything else which is used. If we never drove our buggies, wagons or carriages faster than a walk, they would last many years longer,â€"1ast for our greatâ€"grand- children ! But who in thunder car- es whether they ride or walk ? Life is too short to never drive faster than a walk, and it is too short to walk over an iron bridge 300-ft long, simply because we want to save it for the generations to come. The notice-boards should be taken down. and let the public have the benefit of it. while going through this once. Trotting buggies and rigs do not do it. one quarter the damage that large herds of heavy cattle and trac- tion engines do. The plank on it is being allowed to rot, being covered with filth. At the present time there are loads of it on it. and loads have been blown up by the Wind into the river into vehicles and faces of people passing over it. How mighty anx- ious the. county commissioners got all at once concerning that bridge ! The bridge has received its full at- tention in the matter of new plank during the past six or seven years. The sleepers couldn‘t have. been so badly broken when it. can be rcplank- ed and not to interfere but Very lit- tie with the traflic across it. Now. Mr. Editor, I consider that it was a contemptible action on the part of that committee. as a whole: on the part of Mr. John Austin. a resident of our village. and on the part of Mr. John Short, too. even if he is a county constable. Mr. Austin warn- ed Constable Brock to summon up every one who trotted on the bridge. Why didn't. he give an item in the local papers that the law would be enforced? Then we could have acted accordingly. Mr. Short sat at the end of the bridge and “watched." I wonder how well he watches the taverns over this county ? That is his especial duty; and if he perform- ed it to the very best of his ability would confer a lasting good upon humanity. Now to come to the cases. The first man called was Henry Smith. who pleaded guilty He was $5 and costs. In order to calculate. his costs the magistrate asked the constable how many casvs he summoned. He answered “thirteen.” The constable's day's pay was divid- ed by 13. which looked as if the magistrate had his mind made tip before hearing the cases at all. He. started out with a $5 clip, and of course had to keep it up. No ex- tenuating circumstances were allow- ed to influence the verdict. Each one. had to plead guilty or not guilty. "Guilty" meant $5 and costs. In the case of young (:unn, the mail carrier, from (‘oboconk the dcfendent not. immediately acknowledging guilt, Short said. "I stopped you, you had a girl with you." The mag- istrate. “Yes. a pretty fast young man !" The “girl" was an elderly widow of abou 70 years. Wm. Per- due's cost and fine came to $8. I heard a man say that he would swear that Perduez's hind wheels had not touched the planks of the bridge before he came to a walk. yet he was fined ! John Edward Ellis was del- ivering a load of lambs for shipment and fearing he was late for the train was in a. hurry. He was trotting when he came onto the bridge almost immediately hauled up,â€"â€"â€"not soon enough for Mr. Short. These are only examples. Everyone of us paid $5 and costs. I was told that P. M. Deacon got $1.70 out. of each .Caseâ€"â€"not a bad afternoon’s pay. Another case for the same offence was tried before Reeve McArthur. He was fined $1 and costs. Now, Mr. Editor, I have not a dollar to spare, but don’t care any more for $5 than most men, but it is the meanness of the whole business, that for the mere violation of the very letter of the law we should have our names ap- pear in the magistrate’s report with, drunk, disorderly conduct, and break- ers of every law on the statutes, simply to gratify the whim of a few. Thanking you for the space. I am, yours respectfully, A. WILSON. â€"_‘.oâ€"â€"â€"â€".â€" v -, Ill“ An Earl? Canadian Governor. Sir Frederick Haldimand, an early Governor of Canada, Was a native of Berne, Switzerland, but joined the British army ‘ with the rank of colonel in 1754. The war which broke out between France and England in the following year gave speedy em- ployment to his talents, which had been already proved in the service of Sardinia and Prussia. At Ticonder- oga, fought in 1758, he behaved with Conspicuous gallantry. A year later saw him in charge of the important border fortress of Oswego, which he defended against a most obstinate series of‘ attacks, backed by an enon. mous numerical superiority on the part of tlieFrcnch, and thus saved the British army, which was operat- ing against Niagara, from being cut off from its base of supplies. In the siege of Montreal in 1760 he was again recommended for. bravery and capacity. The fame of these and other achievements, led to his appointment shortly after as Governor of. the conquered provinces, a. position which be retained until 1785. The records. of the time are meagre, but a reputation for severity and frequent errors in judgment have deSCended to our time and detract somewhat from a general estimate of his career. â€"~ fined i had ‘ but , OUR FRUIT EXHIBIT _‘â€"â€"â€" ‘A‘ NEVER-FAILING ATTRACTION TO VISITORS AT THE PAN-AM- omorio’l Exhibit Always Looks Fresh and Invitingâ€"Universal Approval Ex- pressed by Delighted Sightuonâ€"What Canada’s Statue, 3 Superb Typo of Canadian W'omauhood. Soon“ to Say-- Our Courteous Officials. (Special by Martha Craig.) The Ontario Fruit Exhibit is .as' attractive as ever, and the Canadian representatives in 'charge are, if that could be, becoming more popular. Behind the magnificent and tempting array of deiicious fruits, Mr. Bunt- ing, the superintendent, extends a genial and never failing Welcome to the hundreds of cosmopolitan viSi- tors. He is ably assisted by Mr. Col- lins and Mr. Thomson. This fine fruit display is a. great educator, and will efl’ace the idea from the minds of the people that Canada is a cold place. The ap- ples which have been preserved in exâ€" cellent condition by the cold stor- age process (which made Canada fa- mous at the Paris Exposition) .are unexcclled, and excite the admira- tion of all beholdcrs. The strawberry exhibit left nothing to be desired and Canadian gooseberries, cur- rants and cherries are holding their own. ~' Toâ€"day Mr. A. Ilailton of the Prospect Fruit Farm, Fonthill, On- tario. arrived with a consignment of raspberries â€"â€" and such raspberries. Even the inhabitants of the tropics had to turn away from the tempting fruit. They were delicious. The writer, however, is speaking from experience. Mr. Railton says there is more to follow. The Ontario exhibit alWays looks so fresh and inviting: perhaps the reason is because it is always taste- fully decorated with an array of choice cut. flowers. Where does Mr. Bunting get them? is frequently ask- ed by passers-by, who stand with their hands in their pockets or lock- ed' behind their backs in front, of this tempting display. "From the garden of Canada," replies Mr. Bunting. That. must be a lovely spot murmurs the onlookers as they inhale the perfume. “Indeed it is," replies Mr. Bunting. Canada must be a nice place after all, the visitor is forced to admit. “None better," replies Mr. Bunting, and as one cos- mopolitan crowd moves off to make room for another, Mr. Bunting ICi‘lS convinced that he has gained his point. We wish Mr. Bunting continuâ€" ed success and are compelled to say, "Well done, Ontario.” This last cxâ€" claniation we reâ€"echo as we enter the Mines Building; Truly no loyal Can- adians (and we now assume that all Canadians are loyal to their great country) could gaze upon this magâ€" nificent display without a feeling of pride and gratification.

There was launched from the yard of the Caledon Shipbuilding and En- Company, Limited, Dun- dee, recently, a. steel screw steamer built for the Canadian lake trade to the order of the Midland Navigation Company, Ontario. A large number of persons were present at the core- mony. As the vessel left the ways she was christened Midland Queen by Mrs. W. H. Featherstonehaugh. An adjournment was then made to the drawing office, where "Success to the Midland Queen" was pledged. The dimensions of the Vessel are as fol- lows: Length, 255 feet; breadth, 42 feet 6 inches; depth, 23 feet 8 inches; with a gross tonnage of 1,900 tons a carrying capacity of 110.000 bushels of grain. The vessel, which has been built under special survey for the highest class in the British Corporation Registry, will, when completed, be one of the best equip- ped in the service. Ample accommo- dation fitted up in a most comfort- able style has been provided for own- ers, officers and crew, as well as provisions for a few first-class pas- sengers. Two large steel deck-houses have been plaCed amidships, where a. suite of rooms for the captain has also been erected. A large deck- house. containing dining saloon, staterooms, etc., has been built aft. A saloon and staterooms are also to be erected under the forecastle, while the crew are to be accommodated under the! spar deck. Six large hatcli'ways, which have been so con- structed as to be suitable for the working of grain elevators, will pro- vidc access for the stowage of cargo. The arrangements for the quick mooring and towage of the Vessel are. also most excellent. The en- gines, which are being supplied from the Caledon Shipbuilding and En- gineering Works. are of the triple ex- pansion type. with cylinders 18 inches, 30 inches and 50 inches di- ameter. with a stroke of 36 inches. steam being supplied by two large. steel boilers with a. working pressure of 170 pounds per square inch. Dur- ing construction the vessel and ma- chinery have been superintendcd on behalf of the owners by Captain W. II. Featherstonehaugh of Toronto, and Mr. F. I’iercy,, Superintendent. Engineer to Messrs. W. Peterson (30., Newcastle. - A Van] BI“! Sir John Murray. Although Sir John Murray has al- ready done what. for many men, would constitute a life's work in sci- ence, having won most of the re- wards which learned societies and universities can bestow, from the famous I’rix Cuvicr down. he is still in the prime of life, a man not yet grey. of robust physique and un~ bounded energy. Besides the deep- sea. work, in every minute develop- ment of which he is interested. he is now working on a bathyini-Iric SIII‘Vt‘y of the Scotch lochs. and pro- moting a Scottish Antarctic expedi- tion, it being his firm belief that a thorough survey of the sea bottom in the regions of the South Pole will yield profoundly important. scientific results. especially as regards scien- tific knowledge of deep-sea life. Murray was born in Canadaâ€"but he has lived nearly all his life in Scotland. His home is just on the outskirts of Edinburgh on the shore of the Firth of Forth, where he can always hear the sound of the sea. It is a fine old stone building, pillared in front and surroundxi by wide green lawns and ample grounds. He calls it "Challenger Lodge." lie is a. world-wide travelenâ€"a broad thinkâ€" er, and a most entertaining talkerâ€"â€" a man whom it is good to meet. No Great Cun'udian Actor. Canada has so far produced no great actor or actress, writes Lally Bernard in The Globe. I speak of that greatness which is universally recognized, and it is possible that the rather undisciplined nature of our people forbids that self-abneg-ition which moulds a successful apprentice. Then, again, we have no school in which great tradi‘ ‘ons are to be fol- lowed, as in France, where the Aca- demy of Letters governs the pronun- ciation of a. word, and the Theatre Francais controls the tradition of “gate." But perhaps our lack of dramatic poWer may be traced to a. deeper source. For several genera- tions we have been occupied by the struggle for purely material things; neither great poverty nor great riches have been our portion, and events which stir and deepen the emotional side of a people's charac- ter, cannot be said to have been ours; and the question is, whether in these days of rapidly shifting events and widely permanent force can be generated by emotional epochs, such as that which has so lately stirred the heart of the empire, and which is not sufficiently a matter of the past to show us the ripened fruits of its upheaval.
