'with weapons similar to those employed by

the defenders of England at the battle of Hastings. ' Itneed not be said that the paper was ‘exceedingly well written, and heard with the greatest interest. Complimentary re- marks concerning it were made by the Pre- sident, by Mr. Francis Bain, by Mr. Roche, and by Dr, Leeming. Mr. Bain, however, disagreed with the opinion that the Island was not permanently peopled in prehistoric times, pointing out that heaps of oyster and other shells—‘ kitchen mid- dens,” in fact—had been found near Wheat- ley River, and that the Micmacs, being maritime Indians, drew largely upon the sea for their supplies of food.

Mr. Hunter-Duvar then spoke as fol- lows :

—__—_——__—_o+- 0 + —-_______—- The Prohibition Convention.

Moncron, Nov. 13.—The * Maritime Pro- vince Prohibition Convention met in the Womeu’s Union Hall this afternoon. Dr. O. A. Black, of Amherst, was appointed chairman, and Mr. Fowler, of P. E. Island, secretary. After devotional exercises and remarks by the chairman, Mr.J. T. Bulmer spoke for half an hour with great effect. He declared that what was wanted was a re- construction of parties with the saloons on one side and the churches and temperance societies on the other. He had no experi- ence in either party. Wilfred Laurier, contrary to the traditions of the great Lib- eral party, was down in the dust vieing with Sir John and the Carlings and the Smiths for the liquor vote, but he wouldn’t get half as much.

All the afternoon was employed in short speeches by Rev. H. S. Hartly, B. A., and Andre Cushing, of St, John, C. E. Knapp, of Dorchester, C. R. Casey, prvhibitionist candidate for Amherst, Secretary Fowler and others taking part.

In the evening the committee on creden- tials reported upwards of 167 delegates in attendance —104 from Naw Brunswick, 53 from Nova Scotia and 10 from P. E. J,

Mr. Bulmer from the committee on pro- hibition, reported the following :

Whereas, There is a steady growing convic- tion in the minds of all right-thinking persons that the prohibition of the liquor trattic is the supreme necessity of the hour, and should be made the great aim in politics; and

Whereas, The liquor traffic is thoroughly organized, and by reason of the revenue it gives the (;overnment and the vote and sub- scriptions it gives the politicians has become a vast machine in the hands of unscrupulous men for bribing, deceiving and confusing pub. lic opinion, and its prohibition is impossible without counter organization; and

Whereas, Notwithstanding the overwhelm- ing public opinion in favor of prohibition, we will never be able to obtain it so long as separ- ated into clubs, divisons, etc., all working to the same end but without concerted political action, which when obtained will enable us to sweep the legalized liquor traffic out of Cana- da in a singie campaign; and

Whereas, No existing party has declared tor prohibition,

Therefore Resolved, That this convention do now organize itself into a Maritime Province Prohibition Party, and take all necessary steps to complete its organization.

The resolutions were debated an hour or more, and finally passed intact. Some favored uniting with the Ontario ‘Third Party, but the majority favored a party with a single plank, and that prohibition.

The delegates from the Island are : Grand Division, 8. of T., Jessie Burns, Grand Scribe; Rev. Edward Bell, Grand Chaplin ; David Arbing, representing Lorne Division, Freetown; Albert Wright and Mrs. Wright, Aurora Division, Searletown. Grand Lodge of Good Templars, L. U. Fowler, Rev. Robert McRae, G. C. T.

The convention will continue its session to-morrow for the election of officers, to complete organization, etc.

or Boston.—The steamer Worcester, Captain Nickerson, sailed for Boston at two o’clock this morhing, with a cargo consist- ing of about 8,000 bushels potatoes, 900 cases of eggs and a quantity of general merchandize. Her passengers were J A Christie, B Webster, G H Moore, J P Camp eli, E-ftiobbs, L Worthy, Ellen Mc- Innis, Miss Wade, Miss J Lee, Miss Toole, Mrs McAdam, M Mcinnis and M J Mce- Aulay. This, it is understood, will be the Worester’s last trip to this port this year. We congratulate Captain Nickerson, Purser Sawyer and the other officers of the ship upon their season’s work, and trust that

next yeartkey will all be to ‘the fore Well and aw hearty as ever, ,
