This is a good chance to see the city and a. really excellent horse show at small cost THE Town Council is shaping to- wards securing a site for a new town hall and market place and options‘ have been taken on a couple of places. one being the Edge lot opposite Laid- law’s and another on the river flat to the south of the. new railway line, cor- ner of Queen and George streets. The former would be an excellent site for a town hall alone and the latter would do for market and weigh scale, but if we are to have a combination of all three there is no place in to wn better suited for the purpose than the Vollet property on Garafraxn street just north of the-Durham foundry. It is quiteascentral as any of the other placesand getting a little more land to the west it would be large enough for all purposes. MARCONI, who is sure to revolution- l ize the world through his wireless‘ system of telegrapby. isll Italian in birth and only thirtv years of age. In ‘ boyhood he used to carry on communi- cation with a boy friend two miles distant, in his native land, using cer- tain signals with a lantern by which they conveyed thoughts to each other at night. The idea of wireless tele- graphy entered his mind, and, with untiring energy, he set about his task, till toâ€"day everybody should bare his head at the mention of Marconi’s name. It makes us feel small to think how little we know compared with such men; men whose names will go down in history for all time, while most of us will be’forgotten almost as soon as the breath leaves us. Too few of us have ambition enough to leave the world better than we found it. \Ve may not be able to accomplish great things. but most of us could do more than we do. Any person wishing to order G.

DURHAM, out, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1908. Who celebrated their Silver Wedding on PERSONAL DIVIDEND HO. 3 DR. and MRS. JAMIESON Robert Birmingham, former organi- zer of the Conservative party,’was in town over Sunday. He is no stranger in Durham as he has heen here in con- nection with the party work for the past, twentyâ€"five years. He is now organizer for the L. 0. L. for \Vest.e1'n' Ontarin, his territory ex- tending from the County of Durham in the east. to the Lake of the W Gods in the west. Here under the auspices of the County Lndge of Smith Grey. be ad- dressed lodges at, Hm-x-isum, Mt. For- est, Minto, Codarville, Damascus, and Durham, and at,“ the County Lodge Meeting at; Durham on Tuesday after- noon. At the public meetinghere Saturday night, Mr. Birmingham spoke for about an hour and a half along patri- otic and strong protestant lines, show- ing the progress and development of the organization in Canada for the past seventy- -five years. \Villiam of Orange was taken as the central fig- ure, around Whose valor and greatness he ascribes much of the glory of the British Empire of to-day. W'e have 2000 Orange Lodges in Canada. with an active membership of over 100,000. hesides many adherents who were actively engaged in former days. Toleration towards all and the protection of every man in his rights are foundation principles upon which the superstruction of Orangeisxn has been so nobly erected. N otwithstand- ing the protective and tolerant char- acter of the organization, a strong stand is taken against political Roman- ism and J esuitical power-.1 Such men as the late Sir John A. M cDonald, Sir John Abbott, Sir Mac- Kenzie Bowel], Hon. John Hilliard Cameron, Sir Henry Strong. Chief, Justice of Canada, Hon. N. C. Wallace1 Edward F. Clarke, M. P., and others of the toremost writers and thinkers in Canada, including Dr. Goldwin Smith, who must be acknowleged to day as the great master of English Literature and English thought. were all identified with Orangeism. He also referred to the fact that the lead- .ers of all the great religious bodies in the old country identified themselves with the principles of Orangeism. The association is growing very rapid- ly in the new Western provinces, three hundred lodges having been establish- ‘» ed there during the past few years. ‘ H. Miller, who took so active 3. part in ’ this connection. He also showed how ‘our present premier of protestant , Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, had gone i to Rome twice to consult the papal :authorities, before granting them a f Constitution. He spoke vigorously on the incon- sistent character of professed protest- ant parliamentary representatives who had voted to shackle the new provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan with the bane of separate schools, and incident- ally gave some hard knocks to Mr. H. The unfavorable weather was the cause of a smaller attendance than was expected, but Mr. Birmingham will be back to the County in April to visit the lodges, when those who failed to be present will have another oppor- tunity to hear him, County Master James Eden occupied the chair very qcceptably. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the speaker and chairmrn. Tuesday evening of last week. L. O. L.
