S. Fielding, who died on Sunday, June 23rd, at the age of eightyâ€"three. Mr. Fielding was for fifteen consecutive years Minister of Finance of the Dominion of Canâ€" ada and for tse twelve preceding years premier of his native province of Nova Scotia, which is a record that is perhaps unique in the political history of Canada. He served his country from 1884 until his withâ€" drawal from public activities in 1924, when Parliament voted Mr. Fielding Up in the ‘North Country‘"‘ of Algonquin Park, they start their fishermen youngâ€"and. the ubiquitous barefoot boy with the alder pole almost puts to shame the tourist angler with his split bamâ€" boo fly rod and all the other expenâ€" sive trappings of the game. The barefoot boy at Daventry, a staâ€" tion on the Canadian National Railways in Northern Algonquin Park got bigger fish, if not more of them, than did the tourist with the bamboo outfitâ€"and they catch fairâ€"sized speckled trout up in those waters..

His loss is deeply felt throughout the Dominion. Rum Runners Persist The rum runners at the Canadian border, near Windsor, Ontario, who work between Windsor and Detroit, have now brought into existence a system whereby they have armed convoys to. protect their cargoes from the United States coast guards according to police who have studied the situation. .Certain of the rum running combines {have furnished armed guards for their shipments, gunmen who operate in seout craft, which do not necessarily enter Canâ€" adian waters, at least in the daytime. These scouts meet the rum fleet in United States waters and the gunmen escort the rum boats in their dash through the hostile zone. Canadian Convent Gutted The Convent of the Sacred Heart at Sault Au Recollet near Montreal known all over the American contiâ€" nent for its educational facilities, was totally destroyed by fire which broke out this afternoon when the building was struck by a bolt of lightning. With the flames still raging, damage was estimated at close to $1,000,000 while the insurance carried amounts to only $200,000. Four firemen were injured in fighting the blaze, and one of them is in a serious condition in hospital. All inmates, including 22 convalescent nuns, escaped to safety, however. Mexico Celebrates One â€" hundred thousand pilgrims moved in unending streams toward the historic old church of the Virgin of ~Guadaloupe, Mexico‘s national shrine, to offer up thanks there for the healing of the breach which has existed for three years between the Roman Catholic Church and the Govâ€" ernment of that country. Transâ€"Atlantic Fliers Missing While this continent and Europe are still discussing the wonder flight of the three Frenchmen from New York to Spain, across the Atlantic Ocean, last week, news comes from London that nothing has been heard of the Spanish fliers who set out last Friday from Cartagena, Spain, for New York, on the more perilous route from East to West. The. plane is supposed to be heading for St. John‘s, Newfoundland. Prince Holds Investitures The Prince of Wales will hold two investitures on July and 10. On beâ€" half of His Majesty the Prince will present the insignia and decorations of orders and honors conferred in the birthday honors list. Dissolution honâ€" ors, which will have been announced by then, will probably be included as well. The first investiture will be an official one, when all attending will wear levee dress. The second, followâ€" ing usual custom, will be a "private" one, and the recipients of honors will wear morning dress. Canadian Team in Europe In fine condition, prepared to battle for the trophies they lost last year, the Canadian team for Bisley arrived in England. The score or so of expert marksmen are participating in the National Rifle Association‘s great \shooting' meet at Bisley Camp, Surrey, opening in two weeks‘ time. On the youthful shoulders of Lieutenant Desâ€" mond T. Burke of the Governorâ€"Genâ€" eral‘s Body Guards, Ottawa, rests the chief Canadian hope of capturing the classic of the meet for individual marksmen, the King‘s Prize. Lieutâ€" enant Burke won this high award in 1924, and last year was a close second. In 1927 also he lost by just one point. Bishops and Prayer Book In flat defiance of the opninion of the British Parliament, twice chalâ€" lenged and twice decisively expressed, the Bishops of the Church of England have decided to recommend the use of the "1918" prayer book, thus precipiâ€" tating a new crisis in Church affairs. The Bishops, according to the Daily News, met at Lambeth Palace, the residence of the Bishop of London, last week, and there were only a few dissentients to the decision which will be placed before the convocations of Canterbury and York, summoned for Julyv 10. Britain to Acknowledge Soviet? The Daily Herald, Labor organ, said toâ€"day the British Labor Government will take steps to resume diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia as soon as possible. According to the newsâ€" paper, this action will be taken by the MacDonald ministry without waiting to consult with the United. States Government regarding its attitude toward Russia. New Zealand Earthquakes Renewal of earth shocks, which a week ago did serious damage, have caused the removal of the entire population remaining at Murchison to Nelson. Virtually all settlers in outâ€" lying districts whose homes were deâ€" stroyed, have now been rescued, Some of them have travelled for three days, almost without sleep, to reach the concentration camps. Two heavy shocks were felt Saturday night, at Farwell Spit, which extinguished lights.. The shocks were also felt in the Takata and Westport districts but no material damage was reported. The Government is also represented as anxious to adhere as soon as posâ€" sible to the "optional clause" pledging Britain to accept jutisdiction of The Hague court in a large class of interâ€" national disputes. Mourn General Booth Albert Hall, London, was filled to capacity by 10,000 persons for a memorial service to General William Bramwell Booth, former head of the Salvation Army..
