Mr. Fisher and Mr. Foster, both advocates of the cause of temperance, spoke on the same platform in Otta- wa. Herc Mr. Fisher xnzuie a. Statement similar to that: of his political leader, and Mr Foster speak- ing after him said that the meeting had now a pledge from the minisrer that if a. majority of those who \‘0ted declared for prohibition a. prohibitory law would be enacted. To tais St:l.’.(.- ment by Mr. Foster, Mr. Fisher uttered no dissenting word. It was not until after the returns were in that the Government took the new ground. .‘\l r.

Twenty-six Conservatives voted for the amendment and sixteen opposed it. Thus endeth the} high hopes of the temperance peOple in the securing a measure of prohibit ion The reports contained in the Daily papers of Monday cohfirm beyond a reasonable doubt, that every foreignâ€" er in Pekin, man. woman and child, has been slain by a horde of fanatics. The trouble in the Orient is assum- ing gigantic proportions, and before a settlement is effected the whole world may be involved in a bloody conflict. The advisability of mission- ary effort being directed towards the christianization of the Heathen Chinee, is being warmly debated in some quarters, and indeed the rise of the Boxers is attributed in no small degree to their presence in that land of heathen darkness. There can be little or no doubt that the missionar- ies are sincere in the prosecution of their work, but the Chinese do not understand religions toleration any more than it was understood by the savages of our own land in the time of the early Jesuits. They look upon the work of the Missionary with dis- trust, and to prevent an extension of their influence gave rise to the Boxers whose avowed object is to destroy the Spread of foreign influence in the land of the Chinese. Patriotism in- tensified beyond a certain limit, is at once changed into the grossest fana- ticism, and at the present stage it would seem that the patriotic fervor of a portion of the Chinese has reached a point that may involve the whole world in dispute. and result in the dismemberment of the Flowery Kingdom. I PROHIBITION VOTED DOWN. Yes, for centuries the Chinese have been an exclusive people, living to themselves. They have made ad- vances in Arts and Sciences, but:1 their non-progressive character has prevented advancement beyond the initial state. In religion too, accord- ing to their idea, they «are arworship- ping people, serving the gods that emanated from the skill of their own hands. Their exclusiveness from the civilized world had the inevitable narrowing tendency , that "always grows with a nation, an individual or a family that lilies to itself. The religious fanaticism, therefore meni- tested by the Boxers of the present W. Irwin, Editor and Proprietor day, is not at all incompatable‘with their surroundings and fearing foreign innovations in their institu- tions of the church and state, it is hardly to be expected that under existing conditions they should not make an effort to maintain the integ- rity of the Empire. A fearful sequel to the bloody massacre just brought to light. may now be looked for, but with what success and what. results no one can dare to conjecture. The Conservative candidate for‘ South Grey was in Mount Forest a short time ago and a brief interview with the editor of the Representative brought forth the expression of opin- ion so general with all who form an acquaintance with Mr. Richardson, as shown in a short clipping found amongst our “Exchange Echoes.” Mr. Richardson’s name may well be sounded by every Conservative with a feeling of pride. and no Liberal who learns to know him will regard him with other than mingled feelings of admiration anal respect. In the playing of his part in the election campaign it may be unhesitatingly ipredicted that everything he does ' will lJBJX' the lDit’l'OSCOpiC scrutiny of his Strongest opponent and that every address delivered by him will he tent pered with calmness. judg- ment and reason. M r. Richardson is far from being an office seeker. He is not one of those whose aspiraitons lead him to occupy positions that he is incapable of filling. - He is, in a measure drawn into the arena of pol- itics, the public knowing his true worth and being guided by the im- pulse of their concerted judgment. Yes, Brother Lambert, whether Mr. Richardson gets there 0.! not no Con- sevative will ever have reason to lfeel that the standard bearer of the party is nndeserving of full respect and unbounded con iidence.

There was a gathering of young ladies at the Hunter mansion last 1 riday. Miss Alice gave the enter- tainment and all xepoxt an enjoyable time. Mr. Trainer, surveyor, of Dundalk, was here for a. couple of days trying to get a prOper place for Hughie Campbell’s line fence, Hughie seems perfectly satisfied with the result of the survey, although he loses his well and about ten feet 0E the front of his farm. The Centre S. S. picnic came off all right last Thursday afternoon. Ow- ing to the gloomy forenoon, the at- tendrnce was not so large as it might have been, but those who were there enjoyed themselves nevertheless. There was more than enough of the best of eatables provided. The children had lots of amusement out of swinging, football, etc. The young men and maidens entertained each other in the usual way. The fathers and mothers chatted and re- called the time when they too were young, and when the young lady handled the lines, and the young man didn’t know what to do with his hands. There was a short pro- gram. Mr. Geo. Binnie being chair- man. Several pieces of music were rendered by a number of girls of the S. S. and Messrs.

How She Was Saved from the Death that Claimed fler Mother. Grandmother and Aunt. Dr. Arnold's English Toxin Pills Cured Her. Why women should suffer more from ill-health than man, is a ques- tion that has never been satisfactori- ly answered. But ought xx omen to suffer more than the male portion of the race? We say no. No woman need suffer the complaints known generally as “ Female Troubles,” which render so many thousands of women miserable and more than she needs to hold her hand in the fire. A WOMAN’S STORY. There is a. means of curing all :liese diseases, a safe, sure. simple and un- failing mpans of curing them, that means is Dr. Arnold’s English Toxin Pills for Weak People‘ Dr. Arnold‘s English Toxin Pills are the only medicine on earth that kill the germs of disease. When the germs of disease have been killed, the disease can no more exist xhanfi tree can live after its roots have been cut 06. Therefore Dr. Arnold’s English Toxin Pills are the only med- icene made that can be confidently relied upon to cure Female, 'l‘roubles, which are caused by germs. A trial will convince the most sceptical. A few boxes will cure the worst case of '4 Female Troubles.” _ Read the following letter, which will show how these wonderful pills do their work ;â€"- Hamilton, Ont., Nov. 7th, 1899. “I am 46 years old, have six child- ren, and always had good healthl until two years ago. Then the Change of Life came on. My Grand- mOther, my Mother, and an Aunt; had died during this most. critical period. and I felt greatly lalarmed. Backache, tender bearing down pains, shortness of breath, extieme bloat- ing, dizzy spells, accompanied by most intense aching on the tOp of my. head, made my life a burden. I also had inflammation of the bladdi r which caused the most agonizing pain. " A neighbor advised me to try Dr. Arnoldfit English Toxin Pills. They l1;.d cured her in a time of similar trouble. I bought a supply and used ‘ them. In two months I was myself again, stronir. robust and vigorous, not a trace of pain remained, I have L used Dr. Arnold’s English Toxin Pills ‘ off and on, ever since, and feel as \\ ell as u hen I w as twenty.

The game commenced about 6:40 and immediately from the start \Valker- ton waded in to win. Rough play- ing on their part was more in :evi- dence than their combination, and, as a result Referee Norman McIntyre drew the players to a standstill and gave them to understand that friend- ly and clean lacrosse was what he wanted and what he eventually got. The game proceeded and after some 20 minutes’ play “Mr. Ball” passed in the vicinity of the Durham flags. The goal umpire’s excitement must' have been very high, for after a few‘ seconds’ thought he signalized a goal for the home team, though such it never was. After a few moments’ resting, play was resumed audit was not long until the visitors punched the ball between the flags and the ;remained to the finish, 1 goal to 1, ’ sufiice it to say that Durham's Superi- ority was manifested at the latter part of the game.
