THE DAILY EXAMINER. _ JUNE 19, 1893

Our Sidewalks and Streets

Ir is pleasing to note 4 decided improve- ment in the condition cf our streets. The chairman of the Street Committee (Council- lor Beery, and the lately-eppointed City Surveyor(Mr. Dalziel)deserve credit for the

activity which has been displayed in this regard. We have not noticed | bis year the removal of any considerable quantity of

dirt from the gutters to the middie of the streets, and we trust that this method of mending our streets has been abmndowed forever. The of our City Fathers ought now to be to make fewer repaiss and The “extsvagance

alton

more permanent way. of spreading damp dust upon the streets to fill our houses and stoves when it becomes dry and the wind rises, is more than the city can bear, On the same principle, we ought to replace the planks on cur sidewalks

with stone or cement. We cannot afford

new plankways every six or seven years. Permanent sidewalks are, in the end, chesper as well as better. The

Council might well, we think, require the construction of stone or cement sidowalks on ovr principal business streets, and tax the owners of the property wich the cost. This is the plen adopted in tawns of the States in which smooth cement sidewalks are a prominent and attractive feature, adding incaleul sbly to the comfort of their

citiana. There is no quostion that the

value of property all over Queen Square, for instance, would be materially enhanced if surrounded by sidewalks such as those in front of Victoria Row ; and if so, why not have such sidewalks at the expense of the property owners /

If Charlottetown is to keep pace with the age—and ita property owners ought to stand united upon thst point—attention Ought to Sbe given to our streets and side- walks.

—_——-——_ o+Ore Notes and Comments.

—The admissioas to the Chicago World’s Fair for the first month of its existence were 1,174,252. For the first month of the Paris World’s Exhibition the admisssons were 2,540,000. Thess figures are not greatly out of disproportion to the size of the respective cities. It will in all proba- bility be found at the close of the Chicago Fair that the attendance will be much smaller than was that at the French exhi- bition, It is the people living nearby that send the millions to such sights, and there are many more people living nearby Paris than nearby Chicago.

—From present appearances the peach crop of the Delaware and Chesapeake pen- insula will be very large, and the fruit fine; and the attention of dealers and consumers is invited to chese facts. If proper facilities of transportation are offered, and proper arrangements for sale and distribution are made in time, every town withiu a thousand miles can be supplied with good fruit at reasonable prices. That this mey be done, dealers at all accessible points are invited to prepare at once to handle the crop,

—The St. John Tel+graph remarks that though the duty is very high on this class of goods, the United States imported more than $1,000,000 worth of pickles last year. The Republic produces all the materials for pickles of every kind. The same is in large measure true of Canada, and the pickle making industry would seem to be capable of considerable development here. Our farmers and market gardeners can grow any amount of cucumbers,cauliflower, and other pickle material, and the pro- cesses of manufactureand bottling aresimple and inexpensive. We may add that one of the most profitable croos grown by farmers in the middle states of the Union is that of small green cucumbers for pickles,

Tue Copan,—The steamer Cobar, Capt. Kobert Fraser, arrived here from Montreal this morning at two o'clock, with a general cargo and the following passengers : Mrs J Squaring, Mra F N Brown, W N Grant, JS Bishop, Wm G Bishop, B Rogers, G Roome, and G Sell. The Coban will saii for St. Johns, Nfli.. via Sydney, this afternoon about three o’cleck with Mrs Blatch and Miss Ellis as passengers to St. John's, and a cargo which will include the following: 1000 bags oats, shipped by Oarvell Bros; 118 bags oats by Wm Boyle; 2 horses by R Fraser, and 1 each by D Rogers and John Horne; 74 sheep, by Barret Henderson, and 21 by Geo Wheatley; 20 bdls leather, by Hagan Bros; 18 bags po‘atoes and 2 bags turnips by P Duatly.

Supreme Courr.—The June term of the Supreme Court will open to-morrow week. The most important case before the Court will be that of William Larter, sent up on a charge of attempted abortion. We under stand that Mr. Davies, Q. C., has beer retained in conjunction with Mr. W. 8S Stewart to defend Larter. The Shaw per- jury case also comes up for trial this term.

Apvance Iv Coat —It is stated that coal now costs from 10 to 30 cents per ton more at the port of shipment in Cape Breton thao before the combine was formed,

Hotel Acadia .

Tue Hotel Acadia, so long known as the |

Lorne, was opened last Saturday. Mr.

Hall the courteous and eflicient proprietor |

was completely taken by storm by some

thirty guests who visited the honse ou!

Saturday and Sunday. It is, indeed, treat to spend a day at such a place as the Acadia, everything is so refreshingly neat and clean, the attendance perfect and the table one that cannot be surpassed in the Province.

The old Lorne is, indeed, a thing of the|much improvenent, although t The present house will be so chang-| ye#ts the promise of the early spring has

ast.

* when everything is put in order that no one would recognize the place. A large and broad verandah extending around three sides of the house has been added, making a charming promenade, where many a quiet little fete a ‘ete will no doubt be held. The house has been tastefu ly furnished throughout, the walls have been most becomingly papered, and the fl ors suitably carpeted and stained. The print ers when they have finished, will have greatly improve the inside as well as the outside of the house by giving it a thorough coat of paint. Mr. Hall expects to have all thisdone by the Ist of July, when an extra staff of competent clerks and waitresses, together with a band cf music ians will arrive from the States.

The house takes a front place amongst the seasifie resorts of this Province, al- though at present itis by no means the house it will be in a week orten days, by which time the workmen will have put their finishing touches upon it and the many rane decorations, aud pieces of bric-a-

rac will be placed in position, Mr. Hall has done wonders im the way of improving the grounds adjoining the hotel. He has built a splendid bowling alley, and con- verted the grove into a place where a charming afternoon may be spent during the hot summer weather,anumber of rustic seats and swings being found in convenient nooks.

Among the guests, a list of whom wlll be found in another column, was a party of wheelmen, who made the run out on Saturday, returning this morning. They report the roads very good though a little dusty, on account of the very dry weather. They made the run home leisurely in an hour and three quarters.

We trust that Mr. Hall will be most abundantly recouped for all the expense and trouble he has gone to in fitting ovt this charming house. We thiak he need have no fears on that score, a large number of rooms being already engaged for the summer.

Inspiration of Scripture.

Tuts was the subject of the sermon of retiring moderator Caven at the opening of the General Assembly, now in session. Principal Caven is reported to have said :

‘‘We observe, again, that in all its parts, from beginning to end, Scripture gives right instruction and is sltegether trustworthy. That there is progress in the unfolding of God's character and purposes in the Scriptures is a familiar truth. To every one who studies the Old Teetament chronologically, and keeps before him the specific purpose of its several parts, this progress is manifest ! He can, as it were, observe with his own eye the brighten- ing of thesky. But in reading the New Testa ment ‘the darkness is past, and the true light now shines.’ As the night yielded to the dawn so the dawn has passed int» noonday. But false or wrong teaching the Bible never gave. (God cannot teach falsehood. ‘The words of the Lord are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” —(Ps. xii. 6.) In no age of the world, in no stage of society, will God mislead His creatures. The light vouchsafed in earlier times may be dim, bat “it is real light, and suited in its degree to period and conditions Dark indeed was the old dis- pensation when compared with the brightneas of the new. Imperfect was that dispensa- tion compared with the harmonious complete- ness of the new. But we know that He who is evermore wise and good adapted the earlier economy in oats to the ends which it was intended to serve, and a thing is good when it properly serves its end. Our Lord abolished the ceremonial law, but he did so by fulfilling it. He rejects Pharisaical glosses on Scripture—Phariasical misapplica- tions of Scripture—but he never censures Scripture itself, or intimates disagreement with it. If Moses suffered the Jews to put away their wives (a thing which was not from the beginning and must not continued) ‘‘the hardness of tneir heart” justified the tempor- ary permission. Not one word in the Lord’s teaching discredits any part of the Old Testa. ment, but steadfastly are its divine origia and infallibility asserted.

Orrawa, June 16.—The high commis- sioner has sert a letter to Hon. Mr. Angers stating that complaints are re- eeived from Liverpool and Glasgow that old and worn-out animals are being sent over from Canada to those ports, which were hardly fit for food and not worth more than the expense incurred with their trans- port. Sir Charles thinks every care should be taken to insure that none but suitable animals be shipped from Canada, and also condems shippers for sending too many cattle to one port, to arrive about the same time. This causes a glut in the market and a drop in prices.

Orrawa, June 16.—An order in council has passed providing that veasels of British register engaged in the coasting trade of Canada must be inspected under Canadian law unless they possess a-certificate of in- spection from Lloyd’s register for the cur- rent year. In thy latter event Lloyd's cer- tificate will be accepted.

Oxner, which arrived this morning from the banks, re- ports that on Wednesday last two dories containing four men strayed away from the vessel while hauling their trawls and have not been seen since. The weather was very foggy at the time. The captain is in hopes that they have either made the land or been picked up by another vessel.

Panis, June 16 —The court ef cassation, on the iP eal of Ferdinand DeLesseps, Cherles DeLesseps, Fontaine, Cotta and Eiffel, convicted of fraud in connection with the Panama Canal Company, render- ed a decree yesterday quashing the sen- tences on the ground that the statutes of limitation covered the offenses eharged, and tha€ the indictments on which the prisoners\were fried were irregular. They will in consequence be given their liberty.

“> Srv Parrrsetre, June 16.—The church
