The truth is that except on the question of pro- tection, where the Government has substantially adapted the old Conser- vative policy, all the arguments which Liberals laid against Conser- vative Governments in the eighties and nineties fall now with crushing force upon the Laurier Administra- tion, and the natural alliance of the old Liberal element is with Mr. Bor- den rather then with the Federal Ministers. This must mean a rev- ‘olution in public sentiment as ex- lpressed at the polls in the impending contest, and must make the issue of the struggle at the least gravely {doubtful for the Government.” “Newspaper dispatches sometimes take queer runs before they reach their destination. One of the most remarkable instances of this character was that of a dispatch sent by Maurice Low, the Washington correspondent of the Boston Globe, who at that time also looked after the interest in VVash- ington of the Toronto Empire. It was in the. old days when the United States and (‘anada were in a snarl over some more or less trivial affair, and when Sir (‘harles Tupper and the Hon. Jos- eph Chamberlain came to \Vashington to confer with the American authori- ties about a settlement. One evening Low obtained a piece of news which he wired to the Toronto Empire and from there it was sent to an Ottawa paper by a Toronto correspondent, thence it went to New York. where it was published somewhat sensationally. A New York correspondent for a Lon- don paper took it up and e'abled it to Lnndnn, saying that it came from Ottawa. whivh statementâ€"Ottawa. he- iug the capital of Canadaâ€"gave more than usual interest to the dispatch. “An agent to the Canadian Govern- ment thought this dispatch of enough importance to send it back to Ottawa for the information of the Canadian authorities there; the Ottawa officials promptly transmitted it to Washing- ton for the benefit of Sir Charles Tup- per and Mr. Chamberlain and the correspondent of the Toronto Empire walked into the room where the con- ference was in progress in Washington to have Sir Charles greet him with: “Here is something may interest ’9 you. “Thus it was that Low found one of his dispatches, after having travelled six or eight thousand miles, laid in front of him by one of Great Britain’s most distinguished representatives.” When Nellie oversleeps you'll find That I’m unshaved, I’ve dressed in haste.

' The multitudes who have heard the rich and inSpiring voice in “The Ninety and Nine," “J-sus of Naza- J‘cth Passing By,” and “When tho:- M'sts Have Rolled Away," will hour with sorrow that the greatest voice of modern times dv-votml to the work of the Master has been silen- ced forev'r. While Sankey had many successsors in evangelistic hymnology he was the [fionecr. His life was a stirring example of the convert'ng and s._1nctifying pow- er of sacred song. He uddcd a thril- ling chapter to the triumph of the Cross.

Sankey was a son at non. David Sankey. He was born in the village of Edinhurg in Westorn Pennsylvania, Aug. 28, 1840. W'hen six years old he moved to the Wes- tern Res rve Harbor, where his fa- ther engaged in a commission busi- ness. Later his father moved to a farm and the boy assisted in the work. Sankey, senior, was elected to the state legislature during the thirteen years of his life as a farm- er. During these years the boy met a Mr. Fraser, who aroused his first interest in the holy life. In 1857 the family moved to New-' castle, where the father became pres- ident of the bunk. Here Ira attended high school and joined the Methodist EplSOOpal Church. Soon he was su- perintendent of the Sunday School and leader of the choir. In 1860 he resipondod to the call of the civil war and his company was sent to Maryland. His father was ap- pointed collector of inland 1":Velllle at Newcastle by Abraham Lincoln. His voice attracted attention and before long the Sunday School was overcrowded with pe-Ople who came to hear his singing. In 1863 Mr. Sunkey married a mem- ber of his choir, Miss Fanny V. Ed- wards, a daughter of Hon. John Ed- wards. Later he became secretary and then presidcnt of the Newcastle Y. M. C. A... and by the sale of gos- pel hymns raised $40,000 for a new building. In 1870 at the Y. M. C. A. convon~ tion in Indianapolis, Mr. Sunkey Inc-L the late Dwight L. Moody with \vhoae name his own was to become immortally associated. Sankey at on»- of his meetings sang “ Thore is a Fountafn Filled With Blood." - The cong regntion joined heu rtily. “You will have to come to Chica- go and help me Tn my work." said Mr. Moody later. Szmkc-y stood a mazed. “You must; I have been looking for you for the last eight years.” The incident ended in the two cel- ebrated figures getting together. Thle names became famous through- out the world. No hall was large en- ough to cover» the thousands who flocked to hear them. Congregations since then through- out the civilized world have raised their voices in the words of Sankey’s Sankey did not write the words of ”The Ninety and Nine," which more than any other hymn made him famâ€" ous. He discovered the poem. ”There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the centre of the fold," The air came to Sankey during an impromptu rendition of the words, which he had read first in a news- paper on a train in Great Britain. That air will last as long as the human voice is lifted in song to the worship of God. Fire nearly destroyed the City Hall in Toronto on Friday morning. A call has been extended to Rev. Roy Elisha Saunders, in succession to Rev. W. G. Howson, of the Wingha'm Methodist Church. 'â€"â€"v Mr. J. M. Kearns. President of the C. L.

Mockler wr-re dele- gates from Grey Lodge No. 169, Dur- ham. Every farm should have a name and the name of both the farm and the farmer should he posted on a sign at the farm gate. It is Very dif- ficult for a stranger driving along the road to just know where to turn off into the farm he wants to visit when there are no sign posts up. It is as had as a city would be! without the streets named or without names on the stores. Farmers who try to find a house in a city where the street names are not posted can realize what it means to have a coun- try district with farms and roads un- named. It is evcn worse than a city with street names omitted, because on the streets are peOpIe to direct one, while in the country often are nothing but sky, road and beasts of the field or birds of the airâ€"rather. unsatisfactory pilots. A runaway that might have had a serious termination took place about Tuesday noon, when a horse driven by Mrs. John Turnbull, of Dornoeh, took fright at a wheelbarrow load of sand and bolted. Seeing that the animal was becoming nervous, and anticipat- ing trouble. Mr. McGrath, of the (7en- tral hotel, who owned the Wheelbar- row, stepped forward and offered to lead it past. Mrs. Turnbull, however, who is regarded as a capable horse- woman. thought she could handle the beast better alone, but when opposite the barrow, the horse bolted, and throwing her off the seat into the bot- tom of the buggy, started on a run down Chester street. Turning onto Bruce, it crossed the C. P. R. track. At this juncture, Mr. James Ireland heard the animal coming, and think- ing something unusual was happening he stepped out on the road to see what it was. Mrs, Turnbull was now hang- ‘ ing down between the wheels, and altogether incapable of helping herself With only an instant to think and act Mr. Ireland’s presence of mind did not desert him, and he was successful in grasping one of the reins and pulling the animal oi! the road into the fence, where it was brought to astop. After being assisted from the buggy, and taken to the home of Mr. Ireland, it was found that beyond a profuse bleeding from the nose and a slight scratch on the face. Mrs. Turnbull was uninjured, and though Mr. McGrath, who followed the runaway from the starting point, insisted upon procuring medical assistance, she would not hear of it. It was a narrow escape, and ‘ ’ though Mr. Ireland is deserving of a ' great deal of credit, to hear him tell ‘ the story, the real secret of the happy termination of the accident is the presence of mind and bravery display- : ed by Mrs. Turnbull, who, beyond a slight nervousness. and her disheveled l appearance. gave no evidence of hav- ing gone through so terrible an exper- . ience.
