DURHAM CHRONICLE The By-election in Dufferin resulted in a. victory last week for Mr. Mc- Keown, of Orangeville, who defeated Mr. \Voods by a majority of 73. Both candidates were Conservatives, but Mr. \Voods was brought out by the Temperance party, who evidently for- got their temperance principles when they got to the polling booth. It’s all very well to talk of a third party in parliament, but it isn‘t often a. new innovation is productive of much in- fluence. Party politics is so firme grounded that there seems to be very little room for more than the “ins" and the “outs.” for? them.

He then misquotes the Golden 1 Rule in order that his article may have ‘ the appearance of being religious, and shows how the captain, who was de- tained because he was forced to fulfil the law, would go away with unkindly feelings towards the town of Meaford.

DURHAM, AUGUST 1, 1907 We Guarantee it Obtainable only at SUMMER Also try a box of Drug Store THE The very sad accident which led to the drowning of nine young men of Toronto Junction has been so widely published that most of our readers will .know of it before this paper reaches their homes. How often we read of such awful calamit1es and how lightly we pass them over when they occur at a distance. The nearer they occur to home the more fully we can realize the awful situation and the awful gloom that falls over the home of those who have to mourn. These ten young men were like many others of their age. They were out for enjoyment, and never thought for a moment of the dangers to which they were exposed, nor the short step between them and their watery graves. Nine. perished, two from one home, which leaves eight sad households, whose bereavement we can hardly conceive of. The nine bodies were all discovered and a very solemn public funeral was held on Monday last. Six were given a public funeral from the Victoria Presbyterian Church: two others weie taken out of town for burial Monday morning, and La Roque, a Roman Catholic, was buried from his own Church the same morning. Dawson Niehrgang’s par- ents live near Palmerston and the re- mains were sent home Monday. good and brave man is? No, he wouldn’t do that, the poor modest soul. He prefers to act like a snake in the grass; to concealhis identity, and to cover up his real self by misquoting scripture to pull the Wool over the eyes of well-meaning peeple. FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT SEE. hours. An injustice might some times be done in delaying the unloading of pel- ishable goods, but a. shipload of coal or a caxgo of glain would not suffer much by being held ovel fox a few The Editor of the Express will do well to stand up valiantly for the right, but he must be sure first that he is right, and not be governed by advisers who conceal their identity under a fanciful npom de plume and quote scripture during their concealment. In making his annual appeal to the readers of Ontario newspapers for in- formation which will enable him to locate the children and youths of both sexes who are eligible for admission as pupils of the School for the Blind at Brantford, Principal Gardiner asks the Chronicle to call public attention to the need for some institution Where the adult blind may be instructed and employed. General experience has demonstrated the inadvisability of combining a werkshop for adults with a school for children under one man- agement, yet the blind a’dults, who far outnumber the children of school age, should be no longer neglected. In a New York State, it has been ascertained 5 by careful inquiry that out of 6,008 blind persons only 584, 01.9.72 per cent. of the total number, are imder 21 years of age; 3,193, or 53.14 per cent., are over 60 years of age; while 1,: 75, or 22.88 per cent., are between the ages of twenty-one and fiftyâ€"in the prime of life and capable of being rendered; in whole or in part self-supporting.‘ It is probable that the percentages in Ontario are similar to those in New York. Many lose their sight by acci- dent after passing school age, and many who have been blind from birth or childhood need helf and direction in order to work profitably. In Califor- nia, Connecticut, the District of Co- lumbia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachus- etts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wis- consin workshops or “homes” have been provided, and in W'ashington, Colorado and other States the matter has been taken up by Women’s Clubs and other associations of philanthropic ladies, whose influence upon public opinion and the Legislatures will cer- tainly effect the desired result. The first necessity is to get an accur- ate knowledge of the facts, and to this end Mr. Gardiner will gladly leceivei infox mation 1elating to blindlesidentsl of OntaI 10 of all 1ges (names and post} office addi esses). Those under tw enty- one years of age, not deficient in intel- lect, and free from disease and physical infirmity, who are blind, or Whose Sight is so defective that they are un- able to read ordinary type and attend a school for the seeing Without serious i injury to the sight, should attend the school at Brantford, which is main- tained by the Provincial government for their benefit. A letter or poSt card addressed to the Principal will receive immediate attention. Wish to announce that they have: purchased Miss Dick’s Millinery Stock and will take possession August 15.

Th0 Parisian Millinory Company The stores were closed from four till six o’clock and the exhibitions in Dur- ham never before witnessed so large a crowd turn out to a lacrosse match. The whole hill side was lined with spectators, many of whom were from Hanover who came to see the boys go down to an honorable defeat. The gate receipts amounted to over $156.00 which we think was a record breaker in returns on a sporting line. The game was a. good clean exhibi- tion of Lacrosse, There was compar- atively little slugging, and though some were sent to the fence it was not so frequently adorned as on many former occasions. Onlv one man was laid, out and he only for a. short time with no serious injuries. A number of special constables were on duty and kept sentry at the foot of the hill to intercept any one Who might be bold enough to venture be- yond the limits. In this respect the order was good, and apart from the brain-storm effusions that came from the hill side there was no interference from the crowd of spectators. Durham Won the District. 1 1 to 4. Tuesday afternoon last when Hanover and Durham crossed sticks in the game that was to decide the District Championship. Score 11â€"4 in favor of the home team. The same two teams played in Han- over ‘a short time ago and the contest was so even that a really better game was expected than the one given here Tuesday. The players on the visiting team were somewhat changed since they met on the Hanover grounds, and this may in some measure have ac- counted for the weakness of the vis- itors, who showed from the very first that they Were out classed by the Dur- ham boys. . Though they were defeated by a large score against them, it must not be inferred that Hanover boys are not good players. On the contrary they: gave some excellent exhibitions of field-work, and at times the ball passed like clock-work from one end of the field to the other, only to be stopped by a strong defence or to be re- turned by the doughty little Goal Keeper, Charlie Lavelle, who enjoys a run when he gets a chance to handle the rubber at his end of the field. The Hanover boys showed some good com- binations and they had a good active goal keeper, who saved them from a i much worse defeat. The following is the line up, the Durham team being shown from the goal down :â€" Durhamâ€"U. Lavelle, Kearns, Ca1- beck, Matheson, McDonald, Smith, McGifl‘in, 'McIntyre, Cowan, \V. La.- velle, McKinstry, McCartie. Hanover -â€"S. Wendorf, W. VVendorf, H. VVen- dorf, C. Briggs, C. Devlin, A. Patter- son, 0. Kirkner, C. Henning, W. Hen- ning, VVingham, McKenzie. The game started out well, and no sooner had the ball left the centre of the field than it passed towards the enemy’s goal and swung round with a few scientific combinations and the net was bulged for Durham amid up- roarious cheers from the hill-side. The visitors felt surprised and buckled on their armour determined that such a trick should not be repeated. They fought well, especially the defence, which had apparently all the work to do till the quarter ended almost as it had begun with the score 1-0 in favor of Durham. In the second quarter the visitors had the luck to get one goal While the home team added three more to the score, ending up With 4-1. The visitors made a strong effort in the third quarter to keep down the score of the Durhams as low as possi- ble, feeling, no doubt, that the game was against them, and the longed for pen- nant was nowhere in sight for them. They won two goals and the Durhams won four during the quarter, which closed at 8-3. The opening up of the last quarter showed a determination on the part of the visitors to reduce the difference, and for a time they made a bold bril- liant fight but bulged the net only once while Durham managed to get in three mOre goals and finished with a score of 114, with Durham as Champ- ions of the District. Jimmy Darling, the Manager of She home team, was ubiquitous. That s a good word. “Matheson is the cleanest player on the field” said a. visiting stranger who said he was uninterested only he knew a couple of the boys. Charlie hvelle is an “artful dodger” when he gets a hold of the ball. Billy Levelle is a. hard coon to cor- ner, and he always seemed a safe man to pass to.

The bride, who was given away by her brother Robert. was gowned in cream colored voile with all-over lace bodice. She wore a veil of embroider- ed tulle caught with a small bunch of white buds and atrial a bouquet of pink roses intermixed with ferns and wore a solid gold guard, her only orna- ment, the gift of the groom. Her travelling suit was of brown silk with applique trimming and hat to match. Congratulations over, the guests sat down to a dainty luncheon, at the close of which Rev. Mr. Hanna pro- posed a toast to the bride, to which the groom responded. A toast was also offered to the host and hostess for their Welcome and good cheer. How far w111 Durham go on the on- ward march to victory? They have to run up against the Elora Rocks next.

Gilbert McKechnie has turned sport. He was an interested spectator. The home of Mr. and Mrs. James Isaac, Church Street, Mt. Forest, on Wednesday, 24th inst., at high noon, was the scene of a most happy event, when their daughter Mary A. was united in marriage to Mr. James Col- eridge, of Dromore. The ceremony was performed under an arch of vines and flowers in the presence of a num- ber of invited guests, by the Rev. A. G. Hanna, pastor of the bride. They were unattended. Mr. Bert Gibson, Mt. Forest, played the wedding march. The number of beautiful and useful presents given them bore testimony to the high esteem in which both bride an groom are held. A handsome marble pillared mantle clock, with bronze statue surmounting, agift to the groom by the pupils of S. S. No. 13, Egremont, where he has taught for a number of years, was much appreci- ated. There were a number of guests from at distance, including Dr. and M IS. Dix- on and Miss Maud Burrows, Chicago; Miss S. A. Coleridge, Rainham Centre; Mr. \Vm. Isaac, Owen Sound; Mr. and Mrs. C. Rammge, Durham; Mr. and Mrs. H. Baird, Markdale; Miss Viola Ferguson, Attwood; and other rela- tives from Holstein and Droxnore. The pioneers are passing awzw one by one.
