Bathing Houses
Canadians, it appears, are paying more
attention. of late, te the matter of bathing The public bath at Wellington bridge, Montreal, was opened last wee k, and the
following figures show how it has been ap- preciated boys and 46 men boys and 182 men, ora total in four days and five hundred men and

might possibly be of some advautage and

convenience to the general public. But this suggestion, well meaut as it was, and timely as it might
have been, met with such a cold recep- tion from those in authority, was received with sach blank contempt from those whose dutv it is to see that the laws of hygiene are not neglected. that it is ouly with the greatest hesita‘ion and mis- givings we allude to the subject at the present time.
During the hot days of summer, regular bathing is something more than a luxury—it is absolutely essential to per- fect health. This fact, everyone ought to know; and, knowing it, should make an effort to accomplish it.
But the great drawback is the absence of proper bathing houses. The law forbids swimming around Government shore between daylight and dark. and consequently if one wishes to indulge in a good health bath, he must do it at dead of night, and run the risk of catch- ing a severe cold, or else, in early morn, when bed seems to be more preferable.
We hope the Council will take the matter ia hand, and, following the example of larger cities of the Dominion, build suitable bathing houses for the ac- commodation of the public. There need be no large expense incurred, as material and labor are now very cheap; and if a s:nall amount be charged for the privilege of bathing in them, it would not be long before they would more than repay their original cost.

—The election in Monaghan, which resulted in the return of Healey. was a ‘three cornered one.” The candidates polled,— Healey, Home Ruler, 2,226; Monroe, Conservative, 2,011; Pringle, Liberal, 270. In the course of bis ad- dress to the electors after the result was known, Mr. Healey said landlordism had beea trampled under foot, and the elec- tion represented the demand ef Ulster for speedy reform in the land laws. . He had little doubt that before many years every farmer in Ireland would be the owner of his holding.

—A Canadian who visited the Royal Academy in London says :—**By com- parison, our Ontario exhihition is, of course, small and very much behind in merit, but with all due respect for English artists and their academy, I roust say , for the encouragement of our native artists, that our exhibition con- tained some pictures that would bear favorable comparison with the bulk of those I saw, excluding probably, a hun- dred or so of the very best of them.”

—The Canadian Gazette says that special efforts are being made this summer to promote emigration trom
Wales to Canada, and that it is probable that ariangements will be effected by which delegates from the Welsh farmers will visit the Dominion early in the autamn for the purpose of reporting upon the capabilities of the country.
In the Imperial Parliament, on June 14, Mr. O'Donnell asked the Prime Minister if he took any steps to ascertain the opinion of the Canadian people or Government be- fore nominating the Marquis of Lansdowne as (Governor-General of the Dominion. Mr. Gladstone replied as follows :—‘'The hon. member is probably aware that Her Majesty's Government are of necessity en- gaged irom time to time in the nomination of Governors to very important colonies, and to Canada itself. I do not, however, recollect that the Government has ever been asked if it had taken steps to ascertain the opinion of the Canadian Government or the Canadian people; and I am _ not aware that it has been suggested that a precedent should be set in the case of Lord Lansdowne. The Government have not taken, nor do they intend to take any measures of that kind in reference to his Lordship; but I believe that in his case, as in every other case, Her Majesty's Government has ample means of ascertain- ing what are the general sentiments of the coionists in regard to the sort of person they wish to receive, and making sure that they will be well received. (Hear, hear.) I should have thought that if a gentlemen happened to be of high station and charac- ter, and great ability, those characteristics would go a long way towards ensuring him a proper reception ; and | think that few men in this House would deny that those requisites are possessed in an eminent de- gree by Lord Lansdowne. (Cheers.)

THE DAILY Tae Dairy Examener. Death of Father MoGillivray.
KUNERAL SERMON
>
>
The funeral of the Rev. Father Me- doubt, the largest that ever took place in Charlottetown, and affection entertained for him by his people, as also the respect in which he was held by From $ o'clock the
the whole community. people were throngmng in large numbers to the Cathedral, and at 10.15 o'clock, when
the service commenced, the vast edifice was filled, but as admirable arrangements had been made, there was no confusion.
Pontifical High Mass was celebrated by His Lordship, assisted by the Very Rev. Dr. McDonald, Rev. Jas. McDonald, V. Jas. Phelan, and Rev. Dr. Grant, Master of Ceremonies. Most of the Priesta of the Diocese were present in the Sanc- tuary. The body which, from yesterday afternoon, enclosed in a handsome rose- wood casket, had lain in state in the Chancel, was, robed in his sacerdotal vestments, and covered with a profusion of flowers, placed on a catafalque before the High Altar.
The Rev. Father Wissel preached an elo- quent funeral oration, at the close of which the absolutions were pronounced by His Lordship, and at 12.30, p. m., the mourn- ful precession wended its way to the new Cemetery, whose first occupant he was destined to be. The following was the order of the procession :—
Platoon of Police. St. Vincent de Paul Society. St. Patrick’s T. A. & B. Society. The Benevolent Irish Society. The Clergy of the Diocese.
Jokn A. McDonnell, Hon. W.W. Sullivan, Hon. A. A MeDeonald Jas. Reddin, Esq , P, Blake, Esq. M.P., Themas Handrahan,
School Children, Citizens on Foot. Carriages.
Immerse crowds thronged the streets, and business was entirely suspended as the funeral cortege which, it is computed was fully a mile and a quarter long, slowly passed--the stillness broken only by the mournful tolling of the bells from the Cathedral, St. Peter's Church, the Market House Tower, and the King Square Engine House. Arrived at the Cemetery, the last rites were performed, and there was laid to rest all that was mortal of Father Mc-
HEARSE,
| Gillivray, the much loved Priest, the high
minded Christian Gentleman, and the genial friend of all. He rests from his labora, and his works do follow him.
————
Upon the return of the Benevolent Irish Society to their Hall, the following Reso- lutions were on motion of W. C. DesBrisay, Vice President, seconded by Judge Reddin, adopted :—
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, in His Providence, to remove by death the Hey. ALEXANDER McGriuivray, Parish Priest of Charlottetown,
Be it Therefore Resolved, That we desire to express our sincere regret at the loss which has thus been sustained, not only by the Catholics of this Parish, but also by the whole community, as well as by this Society, whose steadfast friend he had ever been.
To those committed to his spiritual charge he proved himself a faithful arid kind pastor, untiring in his labors igr their welfare. As a citizen, he enjoyed the respect and esteem of all classes, and was always ready to co-operate in every good work. Though not a member of our Society, still, in its benevolent inten- tions, he was one with us, and gladly gave his services at our religious celebrations. His sermons on these occasions were replete with earnest exhortations to follow the bright example of our Patron Saint, and his vigorous words will live the greener in our memories, as we call to mind that the voice which spoke them is hushed in death. We have to-day performed the sad duty of laying in his last resting-place a noble-minded and generous hearted man—a faithful and devoted Priest of God.
St. Patrick’s Total Abstinence Society, upon motion of Richard Walsh, seconded by Daniel Sullivan, passed the following tesolution :—
Whereas, Almighty God, im His infinite wisdom, has seen fit to call from amongst us the Rev. ALEXANDER MacGr.uivray, Priest;
Be it Therefore Resolved, That we desire to place upon our records our deep sense of the great loss we have sustained by his death, as well as to testify our veneration and affection for him as our beloved Pastor and Spiritual Director, His talents and many virtues en- titled him toa warm place in the affections of the people he loved so dearly, and for whose welfare he was so unremitting in his labors, In the promotion of the cause of temperance, not ouly in connection with this Society, but abroad among the people, he was ever active and his labors in this respect were crowned with abundant success. Called away at so early an age, in the midst of the service to which he had consecrated his life, how beauti- ful to him now the reflection that it was ata time wnen God had been pleased to accomplish such a glorious work among his flock. His place in the hearts of the people it will be difficult to fill. who pray to God for the repose of that soul who loved them so fondly on earth. and whose intercessions, they know, will still arise for them to the Eternal Throne.

The Lowell Regatta. HANLAN VICTORIOUS. —EXCITING CONTEST FOR SECOND PLACE.
The regatta at Lowell, Mass., on the 4th inst., was witnessed by fifteen thousand people. ‘The principal race and great at- traction was the professional single scall free for all; distance three miles. Five men started, Hanlan, Hosmer, Hamm, Conley and Gaisel.
First money had been universally award- ed to Hanlan, but there was a prospect of a close contest for the second place by Hamm and Hosmer. Spellman, of Halifax, has been coaching Hamm and Conley, and there was a rumor prevalent that they would combine and beat Hosmer, if possi- ble, to get square with him for the Chicago race. The start was made from a point near the Dracut shore. Hainm has the best position; then came Conley, Gaisel, Hanlan and Hosmer. Hanlan broke the water first at the word go, and got the lead which he held to the finish. The other men started even, except that Hamm was farthest from the starter, and did not hear the word so quickly. Hosmer kept well up to Hanlan on the first quarter but after that lagged behind.
HAMM AND CONLEY
pulled hard for third place, leaving Gaisel away behind, forcing him to give up before going ahalf mile. The other four men kept on to the upper stake in the same relative position, Hanlan pulling easily. Hosmer was pushed hard by Conley and Hamm in the order named. Hanlan turned the buoy first and Hosmer second. Conley approached the buoy very leisurely and
amm was around before him. The race to the finish was a mighty struggle with Hamm to pass Hosmer, but the latter seemed determined to hold the lead to the finish, making the races deeply interesting and wildly exciting. Hanlan, when he saw them approaching him, spurted ahead at a quick stroke,and let more daylight between him and Hosmer. Hosmer, who had the lead kept it, and crossed the line
THREE BOAT LENGTHS AHEAD
of Hamm. Hanlan’s time was 21.21; Hos- mer, 21.24; Hamm, 21.34. MHanlan said the race between the two was the best heat he had ever seen and thinks Hosmer fairly proved his superiority. He believes that Hosmer is as good an oarsman as in America except himself. It is rumored that Hamm’s backers offered to match him against Hosmer,

State Aid.
Some of the American papers are work- ing themselves into a state of hysterical ex- citement over the action of the English Government in giving assistance to Irish immigrants. The New York Tribune, how- ever, is unaffected by the prevailing rabies, and takes a calm view of the situation. ‘The acceptance of state aid,” says that journal, ‘‘does not make a man a pauper. Many of the immigrants who arrive have very little money; but so it has been since the century opened. An Irishman who is able-bodied and willing to work ought not to be sent back simply because his passage has been paid by Eng- lish agents, and he has only a few dollars in his possession. The dis- charged paupers and criminals ought to be sent back, but not every poor immigrant. For sixty years America has been receiving a vast horde from every nation in Europe— a great mass of ignorant, impoverished, and discontented exiles—and it has trained them in workaday habits, and in the duties and responsibilities of citizenship. It offers to-day to the Irish immigrants whom England finds it impossible either to govern, reconcile, or feed, a home, a living, and a country.”—Toronto Mail,
