dared or better received by a large and sympathetic audience. Limited Space ‘forbids going into details of excellence. Miss Emma '1‘. Irons, of Toronto, an elocutionist of rare power and unusual force, rendered, in our opinion, some of the best se- lections ever given here and her ren. daring was marked by originality of “pression and dignity of bearing coupled with a keen sense of the heroic and the humcrous. Her reu- dating of a Russian Love Story we of “How the Lerou Stakes were lost” 1...; Western Jockey tale, were especially geod and *brought down the house. She was encored again. and again and in every case graces fully reéponded. We bespeak for? her a full house if she should again ‘come to Durham. . Mrs. Newton} played the accompaniments with heri usual grace and refined taste. Herl ff'closing solo was full of tender pathos, ] and that it touched a chord of sym-l I’pathy in‘the audience could not be doubted _ from the oppressive leilence that was maintained through-. "at. Messrs Telford and Drysdale,’ --.. s. Lauder, and Misses Crawford ‘ Q ': n and Hunter were the 'local cians that tookpm.‘ - - . THE concert given by the ladies’ Aid of the Presbyterian church-on Tuesday evening was among the best if not the very best ever given here under their auspices. The musical part was provided mostly from local talent and it is safe to say that never before were their songs better ren~ on the road and should be liberally patronized.. Miss Adra Luton. So- prano. is an artist above the average. The Mail and Empire in commenting on her singing says .that she pos- sesses a rich dramatic voice of great range. The other artists are also well to the front. The price of ad- mission is within the reach of all-â€" 350 and 250. Plan of Hall at Darl- ing’s Drug Store.

Mr. Newton on this occasion was in a happy mood and gave the large audience the benefit of his pithy sayings. THE Rev. H. R.

To-day (Thursday) a suit under the criminal act is in progress with closed doors. The parties concerned are from near Glenroaden. It is a. pity that paltry miserable things like this should be ventilated in the courts. REV. J. C. CAMERON, the assistant Superintendent for Baptist Home Missions, gave an illustrated address in the Baptlst church last Friday evening. The attendance was small. but the lecturer and views were both interesting and profitable, as they told of early Missionary work in the Ottawa Valley by faithful servants.
