THE DAILY EXAMINER.

AUGUST 27, 1890.

Notes and Comments.

We extend a hearty welcome to the members of the Maritime Press Association.

~The farmers’ convention of Ohio came to the conclusion that agriculture was suf- fering from a variety of evils largely due to vicious legislation, but that the creation of a new political party would not provide an effectual remedy. The better plan, in its opinion was to endeavor to bring about the reform of existing parties, and as steps to thatend it urged among other things the Australian ballot system, a franchise and graduated income tax, forfeiture of un- earned land grants and lower direct and in- direct taxes. The farmers of the United States have difficulties to contend against of which our farmers know little or nothing; and yet there is a party in Canada working to the end that we may be placed under conditions similar to those which exist in the United States.

~There are six murderers in New York under sentence of death by electricity, and since the fate of Kemmler was announced they are almost crazed with terror. Notice of an appeal for stay of execution has been asked, but there is small hope of securing clamor against

it. Owing to the popular

electrocution it is very likely that the le- gislature, if in session, would repeal the law: but that body will not meet until the dates for the executions have passed, and

as Gov. Hill has expressed himself satisfied with electrocution, there will be several more tests of its efficacy before the year 1s out. This being the case, it is hoped that electrocution or something worse will over- take the man who took his wife to Niagara the other day, and leading her to the whirlpool rapids pushed her over the pre-

cipice, in order that he might marry an-

ether woman. There wouldn’t be any

superfluous sympathy wasted on him. ~The Portage la Prairie Liberal says

that on Saturday night when the tempera- ture was becoming col one of the best- known farmers in that district hurried home from town to make smudge fires on the edge of the wheat fields. The Liberal says there is much evidence to show that smudges help to ward off frost This may be so, but good drainage is probably a better protection. It is well known that wheat in the low-lying lands, especially if there are swamps in the neighborhood, suffers more than that growing on high ground. This fact has long been known. The late Mr. Norquay spoke of it in 1882 in a speech which he made toa number of new settlers from Ontario. He also advised them not to put all their eggs in one hasket

to go in for mixed farming rather than for all wheat. The results show pretty clearly that those who have adopted mixed farming have doue much better than the one-crup menu

—The ‘strike’ industry has enjoyed an unusually active season in New York. This mid-summer madness set in about one month ago, with « strike of the union work- ine employed in repairing schovi buildings and who objected to working with non- union men. While this matter was under consideration, the sweepers employed in the street cleaning department went out, but upon learning that no further appro- priation could be secured this year, re- turned to work, content with two dollars per day. The third was the renewal of the cloakmaker’s strike, and the manufactur- ers gave in, pledging themselves to employ none but union men and pay the union scale. Then followed the New York Cen- tral strike, which is the most extensive and stubborn of all, and which, apparently, is not about a question of wages or the hours oi service, butsimply whether the ownersof ofthe road shall control their property and employ whom they please, or whether the knights of labor shall manage it.

—Canada is about to receive marked at- tention at the hands of the New England Magazine. The leading feature of its forth- coming September issue is an article by W. Blackburn Harte, dealing with the literary leaders of Canada. The writer says: ‘‘ It is an undisputable fact that we are on the eve of a great national crisis in Canada, and an intellectual frevolution, which will mark an epoch in our history, is already at hana.” He gives a bright, comprehensive outline of the work of more than a score of the leading men of letters, each sketch being accompanied by a fine portrait engraving. Among this number are :—Professor Goldwin Smith, Sir Daniel Wilson, Arch- ibald Lampman, William Wilfred Campbell, Miss Agnes Manle Machar, G. Mercer Adam, Miss Ethelwyn Wetherald, Miss Sara Jeanette Duncan, Dr. J. G. Bourinot, William Douw Lighthall, Dr. George Stewart, jr., Dr. W. George Beers, Charles Mair, Principal Grant, of Queen’s Uni- versity, J. Hunter Duvar, Gerald E. Hart, Nicholas Flood Davin, James Macdonald Oxley, J. M. L. Moine, Professor Charles G. D. Roberts, Grant Allen and Sir William Dawson. In addition to this article by Mr. Harte, there are in this number poems by Campbell and Lampman and an article on French Canadian Literature by George Stewart, jr.

— By the death of Mr. Pierce Doyle, whose funeral took place with great solemnity from St. Paul’s Church yesterday morning, Summerside has lost one of her most prominent citizens, and the whole Western part of the Province a familiar figure. Starting out in life’s battle without means or education Mr. Doyle hewed his way to the front rank of enterprising citizenship, and although, comparatively speaking, possessed of little education has long been a representative man in his town council and an adviser whose opinions were always sought after in political and social enterprises. Possessed too, of a tender heart he gave generously to the poor out of the goods with which God blessed him, and leaves behind for the support of his bereaved family the large sum of twenty- five thousand dollars. His funeral was one of the largest ever seen in Summerside. The Catholic Church was draped in deep

mourning and was filled to the portals by friends and sympathizers during the im- pours service, of which the Rev. Father urke, of Alberton, was the celebrant, assisted by the deceased's pastor, the Rev. Dr, Doyle and the Rev. John McDonald of Miscouche. To the sorrowing wife and family we offer our sincere sympathy.

—The total amount to the credit of de-

positors in the government saving’s banks of Canada at the beginning of June 1890,

was $18,364,357, and in the post office sav- ings banks $22,593,031, a total of $40,957, - 388. The total sum on deposit one year before was $42,956,257. ‘The St. John Sun remarks : ‘*This decline of two mil- lions in the amount of savings invested with the government has led divers of our esteemed contemparies to represent that the people are growing poorer. The money has been withdrawn not be- cause the people have been obliged to spend it, but because they did not choose to allow it to remain at a reduced rate of interest. The proof of this is found in the returns of other banks. On the last of July, 1889, the amount of money on deposit in banks other than than sav- ings banks (not including Government de- posits) was $54,639,576 payable on demand, and $76,635,176 payable after notice. At the same date last the amount was $52,087,095 demand, and $63,394,796 payable after me ice. There has been a gain of over fiftecn millions in the amount n deposit curing the year, and a gain ol more than two

and a half millions in tho single month of July. No doubt a « nsid- erable amount of the

year

savings which would have gone into the savings bank at four per cent. has found its way into the other banks.”

— We clip the following from the August No. of the Patent Review Ottawa :—

‘* A gear for two-wheeled vehicles has been patented in Canada by Mr. G. A W. Robert- gon, of Charlottetown, P. E. L.. on the Sth of April, 1890, (No. 34,069.) This invention also protected by patents in Great Britain and the United Statss. The gear consists of a crank shaft which passes under the rear of the body, and is held in journal bearings attached to the body and the rear portion vf the shafts. The front of the body is supported by adjust- able buffer balance springs and iock shaft. This combination allows the body « backward and forward, as well as an up and down motion. The crank arm of crank shaft is given a forward inclination which causes a pull on the bearings at all times, thus taking up any wearing of the parts and rendering the gear noiseless."

A number of village carts with this patent gear has been built by city firms and sold to doctors and others who do a great deal of travelling. Two may be seen on our streets every day driven by well-known medical men. Every purchaser pronounces it the easiest riding cart both for short and long journeys ever sold here. Horse motion and many other objections found in other carts are entirely overcome by this gear. We understand that it is the inten- tion of the patentee to exhibit at the Toronto Exhibition a cart constructed on the principle of his patent. We wish our townsman every success in his enterprise.

The Baptist Convention.

Yarmouta, Aug. 25.—The convention devoted itself to-day to educational matters. Rev. T. A. Higgins presented the report of the Board of Governors of Acadia College. Last year was the most prosperous one in the history of the college. There were in attendance during the your 134 students Prof. F. H. Eaton, of the Truro Normal School, who was last Friday appointed to the Alumni professorship of physics, has declined the position. Prof. Tufts has been appointed to the new work. The Curry professorship in history and political econ- omy, and an additional chair in English literature has been established. Hereafter, attention will be given to theological sub- jects as extra work for those who may wish it. In order to do this a new professor- ship will have to be established. A bill has been prepared for _presen- tation to parliament to consolidate the acts relating to the college. The Seminary has done splendid work during the year. The building was overcrowded and it has been decided to erect a new build- ing for the Seminary on some suitable site in Wolfville and hereafter the Seminary will be entirely apart from Horton Acad- emy, with which it has formerly been con- nected.

The expenditure for the year, as rep- resented by Treasurer T. Z. Chipman, was $10,962, income $10,534; deficit, $428. There was collected for the Jubilee funds $326, making a total in the fund of $2,109, - 96. The financial standing of Acadia Sem- inary and Horton Academy was presented by Treasurer E, W. Sawyer. The total receipts show an increase over last year of $2,000. The income for Acadia Seminiry is $9,780, of which 700 is profit. The 2in- come for Chipman Hall is $5,400, with $160 deficit. To-night a public educational meeting was held when addresses were de- livered by Dr. Sawyer, Dr. Welton and Dr. Saunders. Waller--Scott-Siddons.

"Tis rarely that a city of this size has the privilege of hearing the class of entertain- ment promised us to-morrow evening. Mr, Waller, the already renowned debutaut, will join Mrs Scott-Siddons in affording those with whom they have been sojourning a glimpse of the highest art in musical and dramatic recitation. The following from the pen of a noted Germun critic gives one an idea of the estimation in which Mr. Waller is held abroad. ‘*Piano recitals were given by Messrs Emile Liebling, of Chicago; Henry Waller, of Louisville, and the blind E. B. Verry, of Boston. Of these three pianists, Henry Waller, who is about 27 years old, pleased us by far the most. The Louisville people re truly to be envied the possession of this powerful musical genius. He is virtuoso, yes, but one of the true type, whose virtuosity does not consist of using his brilliant technique for mere display, but as a means to the most faithful rendering of the composition. The perfect repose of his manner and the entire absence of affectation throughout the the per- formance, show that his only thought while at the piano is how he can most woutheiy impart to his hearers the meaning of the music. Without straining in the least after effect he gains it by the touching beauty of his tone- shading. To a feminine tenderness he unites a masculine strength and vigor. In short, Henry Waller reaches the ideal of an interpreter of music on the pianoforte. He is one of the com- paratively few virtuosi who really deserve the title.

‘‘We had never before heard of this young artist, but shall, henceforth. hold him in the most grateful and kindly rememberance.”

Old Nicholas Luning, of San Francisco, who died the other day worth $15,000,000, was very grasping and miserly, Some time ago an aquaintance who met him noticed that he looked very unhappy. ‘What is the matter, Mr. Luning?’ he asked. ‘‘Matter enough,” growled the old millionaire, ‘“‘I've got $5,000,000 lying idle in the bank, because L can’t loan it at anything over six per cent. |

different times. In 1885 Captain came to Canada and advocated the Bay route to Europe. The London correspondent of the Chicago News tells a pleasing little story of the Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise. A short time ago they were returning from a country visit, and secured a special compart- ment in the train. At one of the way stations | the rush was so great that the cars were filled | and many persons could not get on, The Marquis opened the door cf his compartment and announced that there was room for four | persons. This was against the guard's idea of | what was proper, so he said the compartment | was reserved and no one could be admitted. | ‘“‘But I will be responsible for the consequences, ” | said the Marquis. The guard was puzzled. | His orders were strict, and he did not know | the Marquis. At last a bright idea struck him, and he asked for a cane “T have ao! card,” answered the Marquis smiling ; ‘‘but I am the Marquis of Lorne, and my wife, the Princess Louise, wishes yon to admit foar of those passengers to this compartment " That satisfied the guard, and the four passengers were taken on. tere Tue Business Cottge.—All second class teachers who wish to take book-keeping instead of French will consult their own interests by making immediate app ication to the Charlottetown Business Collexe.
