THE GUARDIAN had a visit yesterday

from Mr Ernest Shipman of Shipman Bras. of New York. The Shipman Bros. givetotheatregoing public one of the greatest successes of the age, viz: Shakespeare’s greatest comedy “The Merchant of Venice"in six acts. This play has been given in the largest cities across the border and before audiences competent to judge and no production of the great dramatist receives more patronage. Mr. Shipinan`s mission to Charlottetown is to see whether our people would pat- ronize these plays if given with the same

wllllllll

companv and costumes as in larger cities

much open water-Oni°Americ:in friends If satisfactory encouragernent is forth- Messrs \Vm. J. Morgan and brother will looming the company may be expected again this season carry their clams from ‘about the middle of May. The lovers of Buctouche as formerly. but it is now said l Shakespeare will no doubt extend sufli-

cient encouragement to enable Messrs. Shipman Bros. to visit our city. '

YESTERBAY knoming flagsfflying at

lialf-iiziist announced to the citizens of Charlottetown, that Mr. George D. Davi- son had passed away. Mr. Davison had not complained of illness but was in his usual health and spirits and retired at the usual time, the evening before. Not rising as expected, his aunt went to his room to summon him to break-fast and found it impossible to rouse him. Dr. Kelly was called and upon examination found that life was extinct. The call had come suddenly and without warning and even as he slept his spirit passed away. The cause of death was heart. failure. Mr. Davison wasa son of Mr. Henry Davison of this city. His parents _and five brothers are lefttomourn. He was active in military circles and had risen to the rank of Major in the 82nd Battalion. He was identified with the Temperance movement being an ehficient member of Orient Division, S. of T. was an active member of Zion church and a prominent Forester. Mr. Davison`s comparatively early death has cast a deep gloom ovcr the city, and he will be much missed in every branch of work that has for its ,ghject the good of the community.

THE: Boston Trading Co. have recently

completed a banana ripcner and have it now in operation. The ripener consists of a room capable of comfortably holding 300 bunches of bananas suspended so as to al- low of free circulation of air. \Vhen all the fruit is placed in this room that it is intended to ripen. the temperature is rais- ed to 63 degrees by means of a. gas heater and kept at that even temperature for 72 hours when they are yellow and ripe and ready for the retail store. An instrument of this nature is necessary for the success- ful handling of the banana trade. Another improvement installed by this company is a. cooling room for California fruits, the first tobe built in the Maritime Provinces. The Boston Trading Co. have opened a branch of their business in Sydney. The first wholesale establish- ment, so we are told, to open in that gown. Mr: Cook tells us that the ven ture has proved a good one and that at both the Halifax and Sydney establishment they find just about as much business as they can attend to. Mr. Cook is well-known in Charlottetown as the purser of the Halifax.

TBE'Rev. W. Tremantle Webb gave a

very interesting address in St. Paul’s Schoolroom last evening. The proceed- ings were opened with prayer by the Reverend Rector of St. Paul’s. The ad- dress was illustrated by quite a large number of excellent views thrown on the canvas by a very brilliant acetylene light. The Reverend lecturer spoke of the ex- tension as well as the importance of mis- sionary work in Calgary and throughout the irreat Canadian Northwest and made an earnest appeal to all churchmen for' their Iffayers. Sympathy and support. A collection was taken after which the Rev. Mr. Williams briefly conveyed the thanks of the audience to the Rev. Mr. Webb. The meeting closed yvith the Doxology and Benediction.

IT is understood that during the coming

summer an automobile will be seen on the streets of Charlottetown. A triumph for the automobile and progress, anda dis- ti not defeat of the arrogant and aristo- cratic horse, is reported from Rochester, where the inventor of a horscless carriage was sued by the owner of an animal which took fright at the machine, and the court decided in favor of the defendant. It is now pretty clearly settled that 'a horse has no rights that an automobile is bound to respect. The power of the horse is rapidly passing. For long he has been an aristocrat, but now his reign is nearly over, hehas always prided himself on the delicacy and sensitiveness of his nerves, and now that he realizes the dari- gers of displacement he goes into hyster- ics every time he meets a locoinobile, hop- ing thereby to have his mechanical rival suppressed by the law’s strong hand. But it is all a sham, and when he finds it is unavailing he will compose those trouble- some nerves and keep his harness on, This contention of the horse is utterly causeless, and his ease wouldn't stand in any court in the land. He is an unruly beast at best, demanding much attention, frequently running away and unduly I en- dowed with a sense of self importance. The automobile, on the other hand, isa decent and well behaved creature. obedi- ent,t-ractible and modest; never needs blinds and seldom runs away, but traver- ses the streets in decorous and becoming

1,, manner, looking neither to the right nor

to the left. In the niatt-ei' of character, - conduct and disposition the automobile has a great advantage over the horse in the race for popularity.
