JANUARY 29, 1898. ; HON. H. J. CALLBECK.

News comes to hand, as we go to press, of the death of the Hon. H. J. Callbeck, in hiseightieth year. Mr. Callbeck was for Several years an invalid and totally blind. He belonged to of the est and most highly respected of our Island families. He occupied a Seat in the Legislature during several terms and was for a good many years a director of the Merchauts Bank of P. E. Island. He was a quiet unassuming gentleman, honorable in business and atedrast to liberal principles. He bore to the last the white flower of a blameless life.

FREE TRADE, INVEED!

Free Teape, according to the methods of our Liberal Government, has received a notable exemplification in this city. By the couriesy of some of his friends in England, His Worship, Mr. Mavor Diaw- sou, was presented with a number of the medals struck in honor of the Jubilee of our Queen. These came to banda few days age; but the government officials would not permit their entry except upon the payment of thirty per cent.duty! As medals are not struck in Canada, no one receives any “ protection” asa result of the duty imposed ; and the levy is there- fore made on behalf of Free Trade. Our Liberals pose as Free Traders, and thie i a sample of the free trade they afford. The happy characterization of them by the late Sir Francis Hincks — an “ orgenizedg hypocrisy ’— seems to be still eminently fitting.

ieenhintinirage nme eee GROWTH OF WEALTH.

Srarisrics recently iseued prove that wealth the United Kingdom is in- creasing, and that notalone in the class known as “capitalists.” It appears that in 1882 the number of depositors in Eog- land and Wales was 2,643,745,a total which sometimes slowly, sometimes by leaps and bounds, had to 6,276,493 in 1896. Scotland, in 1882, bad 108,701 Post Office Savings Bank a@ total raised to 283,506 Treland bad 301,976 depositors in 1396 against 106,490 in the The tota! value of the deposits have grown, in the fourteen years, from 4£30,037,921 Lo £108,098,641, the average person having proportionately increased.

The falling off in 1887, was, of course due tothe practical tailure of the crops

which affected fruit growers in thia Province and indeed allover the North American continent as well as in Nova

The decreased export was due tothe increaced activity and prosperity of iren- workers at home.

MANAGEMENT BEAUTIFUL sNOW.,

CAPITAL OF THE

Socal Pleasures of the Upper Ten.

Sir,—As some of your readers may be interested in Otiawa bappenings, this will be my apology for trespassing On your space,

We have had very mild weather here lurng ibe past two weeks, the monotony veing relieved eccasiovally by a small- -ized snow sicrme On Saturday evening, however, snow began to tall as though it meant business, aud on Sunday morning we reul z d that during the night we had had the biggest storm of the season. It continued to snow all day Sunday, but cleared up before church time. Though the storm was rather hard on the attend- ance at the churches, yet it was a veritable Godsend to men out of work, and bas been the means of distributing some thousands of dollars where it is most badly needed.

‘The snow is handled in an admicable manner bere, both by the Otiawa Electric Company and the civic authorities. The Company have to keep all streets, on which their tracks are laid, clear of snow, while the city lets the contract of Jooking af.er the balance of the streets and the sidewalke. A special tax (of two cents per toot frontage I think) is levied on house. holders tu meet this expenditure, and the system gives eplendid satisfaction. The sidewalks and crossingsare never blocked, and the former are kept clear their full width and right dowa tothe pavement. On the street railway, powerful electric sweepers of the most approved kind are kept running di:ring a storm, and as soon ss it ceases the snow, which has been thrown on both sides of the tracks, is shoveled into large vans and hauled away Ottawa has a splendid car service both in summer and winter, and visitors to the Capital ace loud in their praises of its ex. cellent inanagement.

The social season is now in full

talk of nothing but luncheons, teas, card. and skating parties, and dances. Her Kx. celleney the Countess of Aberdeen is “at Home” at Rideau Hall every Saturday afternoon from 3.30 to 6 o’clock. Skat- ing and tobaggning are written on the * cards, ” and many

The gym. was abundantly decorated with flags and foliage, and made a very pretty ball room. Lady Davies, Lady Grant, and Mra, Alex. Christie received the zuests.

Skating is very popular with all classes here, and the rinks are well patronized. Rideau is the tavorite closed-ia rink and is attended by all the “smart set ;” but the large open air rink of tae O. A. A. Club4s also deservedly popular. There are gener- ally one or twe skating parties a week at Lideau rink given by well known society people.

MR, BENT’S LECTURE.

——- ee

The lecture given last evening by Mr. S. M. Beut,of the Summerside Journal, in the finely equipped metting room of the Anerent Order of Hibernians, was greatly appreciated by those who were fortunate enon. bh to be present. The subject of the lecture was “Music and Song,” and the excellemt treatment it received at the hands of Mr, Bent showed that he bad spared no pains to make its presentation interesting as we)! as instructive, He first traced the history of music from its primitive days through the centuries to the presenc time, aud then spoke of the music of Ireland, Scotland, Frauce and other nations. Speak- ing of the inspiring character of music in battle he referred tu the charge of the Gordon Highlanders at Dargai and the music of piper Find!ater, who, he remark- ed incideatal v, wes Irish, Scotch or Ger= man, accordiog to the newspapers you read. A review ofthe development of church music closed the interesting paper.

On motion of Rev. Dr. Morrison, second ed by Mr. P. McGourt, the hearty thanks

for his splendid lecture, to which he rvade | a fitting reply. Mr. James J. Jobnston, President of the Ancient Order of Hiber- pians, occupied the chair during the evening.
