the Murray Government has been re-
turned by a majority of 19. In last
legislature its majority was 10 but the
number of representatives has been
increased by five making the total
house -43 instead of 38, in last Dahlia-

Tanner was defeated in Picton Coun-

in Halifax County is Mr. Mclnnis. but

The Y. M. C. A., campaign yester-
day for the $1,000 contribution from
Charlottetown having been interrupt-
ed somewhat ‘by the fact that it was
market day and many of the solicitors
unable to leave their business it was
decided to continue today. The res-
ponse met with yesterday by those
who made their calls was very encou-
raging. some of the teams reporting
that they had not met with a single
refusal. The final reports will be
made this evening at 7.30 and at that
time the opportunity closes for lend-
ing assistance to one of the worthiest
causes in connection with the Em-
pire’s great iight. It is hoped that all
those who have not been waited upon
will hand in their amounts at the ear-
liest possible hour to-day, which they
can do by calling up the Secretary of
the Y. M. C. A. or any of the sollci~
tors.
A gentleman who recently returnel
to Charlottetown from a visit to't.lie
military camps in England and wh..
saw what the Y. M. C. A. is doing for
the boys there, stated that the friends
of the boys have much to be thank-
ful for in the fact. that the Assoclatio -1
is looking after their welfare at the
camps with the same sollcitude as
their own parents would core for
them. The temptations snrroundin;
the boys are simply innumerable s'n.'i
the Y. M. C. A. is the only agency to-
day that stands as a wall between the
boys and moral and physical ruin.
Any help, great or little. that can be
given to this cause should be given
and at once.

The McPherson murder case was
commenced yesterday before Mr. Jus-
tice l-iaszard and a jury and a number
of witnesses were examined.
Mr. Wyatt, K. C., who is associated
with the AttorneyVGeneral opened the
case for the crown.
The first witness was Mrs. Gibbs.
Union Vale. She told of a visit to
the McPherson home on the morning
of Mrs. McPherson’s death and finding
her in her usual health. While she
was there Joseph Gallant came in and
before she left McPherson and Gallant
had a number of drinks together.
That evening she heard of Mrs. Mc-
