March 10th, 1913. Dear Mother and Fatherâ€"0n this, the 50th anniversary of your wed. ding day, we, your sons and daughâ€" ters, wish to convey to you the deep afléction we each cherish for ydu, and to express our gratitude for the loving care bestowed lpou us in our tender yearsTâ€"and for the fleet influence you have been to our maturer years. We wish to acknow- ledge our indebtedness for the rich heritage, a good name, which is more to be desired than great riches, was bright and pretty with dafiodils and golden tulips. A supper was served at 7 o’clock from a prettily decorated table, around which their children, grandchildren and friends gathered. A handsome wedding cake, surrounded by a wreath of ivy, adorned the centre of the table, and dainty shaded candles added to the charming eflect. At the close of the repast the following address was read and a presentation of a. purse of gold to the bride and groom by two little grandchildrenzx The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs Walter Snelling,o of VanCOuver,’ B. (3., was celebrated on Monday, March 10, at the residence of their daugh- ter, Mrs. J. J. Wetherup, 201 Elev- enth~ave., West Vancouver. The house The same docility was not shown at Adrianople, which after five months’ siege, was on the point of falling into the hands of the Bulgar- ians, aided by the Servians. The be- siegers could not resist the tempta- tion to bring this'long and weary siege to a successful completion, which they have now done. The re- sults are a very great loss of life on both sides, the destruction by the Turks of the arsenals and of enorâ€" mous pronerty values, and an in- Before the fall of Adrianople, the powers had- arranged among themâ€" selves what was to occur in: the Bal- kan peninsula, and were notifying the various Allies that they need not fight any more, as nothing that they would do would alter the deâ€" cisions arrived at. The Servians, it is said, have heeded this waening and have retired, as far as they are conâ€" cemed, from the bombardment of Scutari, which they have been told that neither‘ they nor the Monteneâ€" grins are going to get, much as the little mountain kingdom has spent on the attempt to get it. King Nico- las though it as much as his crown was worth not to get it. All would regret to see so picturesque a figure removed from among the royalties of Euroge, and many a royal house would be sorry for such a reduction and a. strong simple faith which you have imparted to us, enabling us to see beneath the appearance of things, in the marriaee market. But one crown the less in the peninsula might not be a grievous harm to the world. It is it seems ordained that Scutari shall fall to the autonomous State of Albania, Austria thus gain- ing her point. GOLDEN WEDDING AT VANCOUVER 0F MR. AND MRS. W.

Worsley, creased debt on the part of Bulgaria to Servia for her costly aid, all of which had the mandate of the Powâ€" ers been received and respected would have been saved, as Adrianople would haVe fallen to Bulgaria any- way. Whether that mandate was reâ€" ceived in time to be considered does, not appear. With the fall of Adrian- ople let us hope that the war is ended, and with the agreement of the Powers, let us hope that all disput- es between the Allies will be antici- pated and suppressed. But, as once before, the action of the Allies may possibly set at nought the mandate of the Powers. At the beginning of the war, the Powers told the Balkan states that it was no use their fight- aCt of all Christendom was, in a few weeks, covered with ndicule. The cap- ture of Adrianople sets the whole Bulgarian force free to march on Tchatalja and Constantinaple. The hope is, however, that the Allies are at one with the Powers in regarding Constantinople and the two straits as an undesirable acquisition, as whoever controls the international highway must forever be more or less at the dictation of the Powers.

As the black figure, leaning on a cane, stood on the altar and-waved for silence, a thrill of admiration passed over the audience. There was something melodramatic about the hush that followed in the wake of the uplifted arm. The bent figure sil- ently gazed at the sea Of faces before him, and the gaze was returned by thousands of eyes, and so profound was the silence that even breathing seemed a sacrilege. In simple words, but a direct man-l ner, clear and deliberate, audible to t the farthest corner of the Church, he. pleaded the cause of the Indian. He remained standing with the support of his cane, until shaken with emo- . tion, and overcome with the eflorts of his task, he was forced to sit down, and in that position finished 3 his plea. At the conclusion of his } remarks there was hardly a dry: eye in the audience.

The Canadian Asso- ciated Press, in a \cable dated at London March 18, brings the news that a liberal resolution is to 6 be introduced in the Hous‘e of Com. mons when that body goes into comâ€" mittee of supuly on the naVy estim- ates, and that the resolution will be expressed in the following terms: The Canadian Associated Press which has never been pro-Liberal in tone, goes on to say that while this resolution is to be moved by Mr. Philip Morrell, M.P., for Burnley, it is “by no means a one man aflair,” as has been suggested.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier ren- dered an Imperial service of high value when he committed the Domic- ion of Canada definitely to the prin- ciple of participation in the naval defence of the Empire, and made it clear, "by legislationâ€"supported at that time by Mr. Borden and Mr. Fosterâ€"that this country was pre- pared to begin at once the construc» ing a loyal Canada, will. rather lead to disunion and disintegration, and will also raise the question of rep resentation, which a. great many of them are not yet prepared to ac- cept.” A remarkable story comes from IW‘sart township, four or five miles Jute: Haliburton township, concern- ing the action of a young man, who in a period of religious halucination mutilated himself in such a manner as to make him a cripple for life.

The young man in ques- tion is 26 years of age, and is a member of a family whose members are adherents of the Anglican faith. The young man, it is understood, re- ceived the rites of Confirmation a year ago, but since that time he has become a Minenial Dawn enthusiast. It now appears, remarks the St. John Telegraph, that there are “reb- els" in the British House of Com- mons as well as in the Canadian ‘House. When the Liberals at Ottawa demanded certain perfectly proper and important information the other day they were met by an outcry from the Conservative benches, some of the epithets being "Rebels,” “Rat- tlesnakes,” "‘Traitors” and the like. The intention of the Conservatives in making use of these epithets was to attempt to create the impression that all persons who did not accept the Borden naval programme withâ€" out further argument were “disloyo STRANGE STORY FRONDYSART ’ YOUNG MAN CUTS OFF HAND IS A RELIGIOUS ENTHUSIAST THE LINDSAY P01: 1‘.
