Several witnesses claimed that Ricci was a frequent visitor to the Upper residence, and that he at times de- livered a parcel, the contents of which was unknown.

Dr. Smyile, of Parry Sound, who conducted an autopsy on the bodies, testified at the inquest that death in both cases was due to alcoholic poisoning. Joseph Kane, Mrs. Hutchins and Miss Hut- chins, relatives of the Careys, are all ill from drinking the liquor, but are expected to recover.

They are practical farmers, attracted by the advantages which Paris.--One of the things which struck foreigmers visiting Paris dur. ing the last week in July and the first in August was the complete lack of any reminders of the anniversaries of mobilization or the outbreak of the World War in 1914. There were few ceremonies and no newspaper articles to revive memories of those fateful days.

Epsom's 96-Year-Old Grandstand is Doomed Epsom's racecourse, where the world famous Derby has been run annually since 1780, is to lose its ninety-six- year-old grandstand after this year's race on June 2. The old stand, which holds only 6,000 persons, is to be re- placed by one accommodating 20,000. While plans have been drawn for the new stand, a movement has been start- ed to make the structure the largest and finest in the world. It is pointed out that the Fleming- ton stand in Australia accommodates 70,000 persons, and that as the attend- ance at the Derby averages 300,000 to 00,000 racegoers, Epsom should have one seating at least 100,000 persons. ------ cere Would Dwell Again Beneath British Flag Toronto.--AnxiQus to come to Can- ada, more than a dozen British-born residents of the United States have written C.

The representative session of the .Wesleyan conference had approved the proposal to admit women to the ministry, but the superfor pastoral session decided, ltke the lords, that feminine competition was undesirable. Despite the argument that the church needed women ministers as much as the women wanted an outlet for their eloquence, a large majority of the session accepted the view of an anti-feminist pastor who "stood by the New Testament and common sense."
