MacFaflane Mo. The forty-ninth annual meeting of the Canadian Press Association was held last Thursday and Friday in the Temple Building. Toronto. The at- tendance was good and much interest was taken in many subjects that were assigned for discussion. The annual dinner of the Association was held at McConkey’s on Thursday evening and was attended by about two hundred members and their friends. The venerable Goldwin Smith who attended many similar functions during the last thirty years, was unable to be present but sent his regrets in the form of a letter. He re- ferred to the independence of the Druggists and Booksellers BECAUSE in is equally good for chiliren and adults, and BECAUSE if it ever fails you get. your momy back.

He con- cluded with the following remark:â€" “For sixty years, as I have said, I have been more or less connected with 1 the press. The end of the connection, therefore, has nearly come. But let me say, especially to the younger members of the profession, that I h0pe they will always regard me as one of its patriarchs, and that if ever they -_‘L 2 A].

Starting first up the River a close in. Spection was made of the intake from which the necessary supply of water i' is secured and carried to the Power '5 House which is situated at the foot of i the Canadian Horseshoe falls. In I order to reach many points of interest lit was necessary for the party to go through many underground tunnels, vnvvâ€" â€"â€" seers. The officers of the Company who took the party in tow were ex- ceedingly courteous and gave all in- formation sought for and volunteered much that was not thought of by the ‘ ordinary sight-seer. The Electrical Development Company’s works were also inspected. These are only yet in the constructive period with only part of the place ready for service. The plant is sufficiently far advanced for the operation of one unit of 12500 horse [power which is now supplying power . to the Toronto Street Railway. About half past one the Association made its way. to the Clifton House a magnificent hotel in full view of the falls, and just recently completed at a cost of half 'a million dollars. We were the guests of the house for lunchJ eon on their invitation which was sent in as soon as they learned that Association had decided to visit the falls. \Ve were thoroughly cared for by the most courteous waiters. After dinner an address of welcome was ex- tended us by the Mayor of the town éand a few brief addresses followed. kThe ever present photographer was on hand and took a snap shot of the group. The uext move was to the works of the Natural Food Co. of Niagara Falls N. Y. Here again we met with the kindest reception and were shown through the magnificient building to see the operations necessary for the manufacture of Shredded \Vheat Bis-‘ cuits. Everything was ’ scrupulously clean and the hundreds of lady em- ployees were tastefully attired in be- coming uniforms. The members of the Press throughout the country know from actual observation not that Shredded Wheat Biscuits are made from pure Wheat. Everything goes like clock-work and the machin- made from pure Wheat. Everything goes like clock-work and the machin- ery employed is a marvel of perfec-‘ tion. Lunch was again served and the happy company returned to their homes much pleased With the their outing and grateful to the Railway Company, the Clifton House, The Power Company, The Natural Food Company, The Street Railway, and all the other factors that contributed , to the enjoyment and profit of the vis- itors. .\' OTES.

Three hundred, we think, is the minimum salary for that section, and it might be placed in the same cate- gory with ghosts. To the intelligent mind spooks are things that do not exist except in name, andschool teach- ers of matured mind and experience for a salary of three hundred dollars are also things not to be found.

Paul was speaking to the Church, showing them the spirit_ in which they should work for the Lord, and that they should do all things willingly, cheerfully and heartily. In the evening the subject was, “ Sam and substance of Religion,” taken from Rom. 7: 2A. “ O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death.” It was a powerful discourse and was well de- livered to an attentive audience. The choir gave splendid service un- der the leade1ship of Mrs. Newt on throwrhout the day and was compli- 111ented by pulpit and pew for their efforts. On Monday evening Mr. Kennedy lectured on “A Man’s a Man for a’ That.” To hear it was to enjoy it as the address was interspersed with pithy anecdotes, which helped to bring the trut‘ 1 home to us that “a man’s a man fo - a’ that.” Pastor Newton was chaix 111 111 and at the close took occa- sion to express the appreciation of the cmwregation for Mr. Kennedy’s kind- ness in assisting at this anniversaly The choir rendered several choruses during the m ening “. h1ch were highly appreciated. The singing of the National Anthem and the benediction by Rev . Mr. Kenâ€" nedy brought a profitable ex ening to a close. The past year has been at prosperous one for our Baptist friends financially and spiritually. Love and harmony! pervaded the membership. The Pas- tor and his gifted wife are happy in their chosen work and are held in high esteem, not only by their own flock but by the general public as well. tor, for not forwarding our budget as usual last week, but really we were very angry for you interrupted us so bluntly when we were in conversation with one of the Hutton Hill girls.

Mr. David Chapman, who has been spending the past, month with his mother and many other old friends, leaves shortlfto look after his mining business over in Uncle Sam’s domains. Timber was made last week for the new Church sheds and more brick hauled, yet there are some who don’t believe that a church will really be built.
