The last day of the fair will be gost. 30. It will end as it began, on Monday. Auditor William K. Acker- man of the oxposition made his first complete report July 6. This report showed the gate receipts for the pre- the first two months of the exposition to amount to $2,121,660.06, and the concession re- ceipts to $500,006.36. The total receipts from the date of the organiza- tion of the Exposition company to The esti- mated receipts for the month of May 'were $719,402, and the expenses $609, 883, leaving a balance of 109,519.-- For the month of June the estimated receipts were $1,660,820, and the estimated expenses only $642,021, leaving another balance of $1,017,899.

There are souvenirs to buy, meals to pay for, and one thousand and: one catchpenny arrangements to dodge. The most economical visitor will spend nearly | 85 every day passed at the fair. Many spend three times that amount the first.two or three days they are here, Of course, the first glimpse of the Midway plaisance sets every visitor in a flutter, The newcomer does not stop to ask questions, but produces the necessary coin and passes right along in, taking things just as they come.

The frame for the model is made of wood and zine, but this is all concealed from view by the ingenious manner in which the silver coins have been arranged. The model is about fifteen feet long, Seventy- {five thousand coins were used in its construction, cement being employed to hold them in place. Several young wen, under the watehful eye of a super- intendent, were engaged in putting on the roof of the beautiful structure Friday, and for this purpose the coins were brooght in by the sackful, each sack bearing the government's stamp.

They were guiently mariied at the Methodist parsonage in the west end, when the two lovers set out on Sunday to visit the bride's parents near Beachville, but as 80on as the bride's father heard of the clandestine wedding he gave' his daughter, it is said, a most brutal threshing in the presense of her hus: batid and a rival lover from Ewbro,-- The old. man slapped the bride repeat- edly, and asa parting mark of parental love, kicked her through a barb wire fence. The husband and his rival in the race for Rhoda'a affections stood quietly by and witnessed the fracas without onoe attempting to protect the yourg woman. The bride was then taken into 'the house and locked up, when the husband ~~ was or dered off the farm. Tt is said the cause of the old man's mrath was the fact that his daughter had re- fused, agninet hin wish, to marry the Emburo suitor, who is also a very re- spetable young man named McDonald.

Mr. George Johnson has just pre: pared an interesting statement from the census returns, which shows that churchgoers - of the - Dominion have 10,480 church edifices throughout the land. Nearly 32 per cent. of these Lelong to the Methodist, 17 per cent, to the Presbyterians, 17 per cent. to the Roman Oatholics, 16 per cent. to the church of England, 12 per cent; to the Baptists and 6 per cent. to all other denominations. Daring ten years the Baptists have increased the number of their churches by 324, the Oatholics by 299, the church of England by 415; the Methodists by 322 and the Pres byterians by 411. During the past ten years the church of Eniland ap- pears to have been the most active in providing . places of worship for the people: The Presbyterians come next, the Baptist third, the Methodist fourth and the Ountholics lust, Territorially considered, Port Arthur being considered as the dividing line between: east and west, the church of England in the eastern province = bas provided 337 additional churches; aud in the western 98; Methodists have provided 227 in the eastern and 95 in the western ; Presbyterians have pro- vided 302 in the eastern and 109 in the western ; Roman Catholics have provided 257 in the eastern and 49 in the western ; Baptists have provided 206 in the eastern and 19 in the western, Thus the Methodists have established 42 per cant. of the total additional number of churches in the western provinces, Presbyterians 32 per gent., church of Eugland 23 per cent., Roman Cathoiies 17 per. cent. and Baptists 6 per cent, Of the total increase (1,828), 408 belong to the western provinces, equal to over 22 per cent. One-fifteenth of the population have one-fifth of the increase in the number of churches. In the five eastern provinces there™is ons church for every 4556 persons, and in the western provinces and the territories there is one church for every 500 per- sons. In churches the denominations have about kept pace with population in Manitoba, British Columbia and the territories. Sk ean A Sad Affliction.

His wife hearing of lus getting $600 went to get some of the money entered suit in the police court against her husband for nonsupport. In the meantime the husband was. drinking hard and wasting® his money and himself, A summons was issued for the hashand to appear before the Police Magistrate to answer the charge thus preferred.

There is a great deal of speclation being indulged in as to the message Mr. Oleveland will send to Congress when they meet, There are a number of things he wants this Congress to do and tonoefning which he will read them a lecture at the proper time, but it is understood that he does not ex- pect anything to be done at the extra session except with relation to finance. It 1s expected, therefore, that his mess- age will be confined solely to that ques- tion, reviewing the financial situation and calling attention, in his most im- pressive style, to the necessity of the immediate repeal of the Sherman law, It is said now that he is seriously con- sidering the advisability of making some recommendation for a substitute to be carried with the repeal, Indians for soldiers are not n success, The experimental stage of adapting the Indian to military life has passed.
