Last week a heading in The Adâ€" vance suggested that there was anâ€" other ‘‘Skating‘‘ boom near Ontario. In this case the **Skating‘‘ should have been ‘‘Staking‘‘ but the intelliâ€" gent compositor evidently thought a little typographical error like that did not cut any ice away.

In addition to his widow there are left two children, Mamie, wife of W. McClellan, manager of the Rank of Nova Scotia, Windsor; Lieutâ€"Col. C. . The many friends made here by Col. C. D. H. MeAlpine will extend sincere sympathy to him in the death on Sunday of his father, Dr. John Mceâ€" Alpine, at Lindsay, Ont. The late Dr. MeAlpine was in his 76th year, and was a native of Glencoe, Ont. He was a son of the late Capt. Malâ€" colm MeAlpine. For over forty years Dr. MceAlpine was a practising physician at Lindsay, where he was an outstanding figure in his profession and a doctor beloved by the people of the town. He was a big man, in frame, in mind and in heart, and he will be specially missed in Lindsay and district. For over 30 years he was Medical Health Officer for the Town of Lindsay. In politics he was a staunch Conservative, but with wide cireles of friends in other ranks beâ€" cause of his fairness and broadmindâ€" edness. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and in general a man of the highest standards of life. He married Miss Eliza Hughes, A granddaughter of the late Mr. Booth married Prince Eriece of Denâ€" mark. The Booth fortune is estimated to be worth around thirty million dolâ€" lars. Most of this was made from lumber, but ‘"railway and other deals proved profitable in the astute hands of J. R. He helped out the Canada Atlantic when that railway was in difficulties, and is said to have sold his interests in that venture for over $14,000,000. DEATH OF COL. McALPINE‘S FATHER AT LINDSAY, ONT. John R. Booth, Canada‘s famous lumber king, died at his home in Otâ€" tawa on Tuesday afternoon, at the grand old age of 98 years. The late John R. Booth by energy and ability, built up a fortune of many millions, and from a poor boy rose to take a place among the great people of the world. Death was due to old age. He enjoyed good health and vigour until a couple of months ago, and preâ€" served his wonderfully keen faculâ€" ties until the last. [The late J. R. Booth had many interests in this North Land, and many personal friends here also: both among the rich and those not so well attended in this world‘s goods. JOHN R. BOOTH, FAMOUS LUMBERMAN, DEAD AT 98. The meeting next Wednesday evenâ€" ng will be a Christmas Tree. The com mittee in charge of this night‘s enterâ€" tainment is Misses Nellie Studor and Mary Boyd and Messrs H P. Shantz andâ€"A. W. Pickering. A draw was made at the meeting last night by the members, each buying a gift for the name drawn, and after wrapping and addressing same leaving it at ithe Clubrooms, or with some member of the committee. The evening will sure prove to be an enjoyable one and the members are requested to on hand early. _ Christmas week the Club have deâ€" cided that no dance will be held, the Wendnesday â€" preceding _ Christmas falling on the 23rd, and there will be quite a number away, and the necesâ€" sary preparations for the holiday would make it inconvenient for those remaining in town to attend. On December 30th the last meeting of the year, the Club will hold a Resolution Night, This evening will be a novel one, and an enjoyable time is assured all attending. The Committee in charge is Mrs. E. L. Urquhart, Messrs J. Jacobs, E. L. Urquhart and C. G. Pirie. After the new year it is expected that the Club will move to their new quarters in the new I. O. 0. F. Hall, which will be a distinct improvement over those now occeupied. Further inâ€" formation on this will be given later. NOVELTY NIGHT AT A.5.0. GLUB WECNESOAY NIGHT There was a large crowd present last night for the Novelty Night put on by the A. 8. D. Club in the Oddfelâ€" low‘s Hall here. The programme took the form of novelty dances. Among the specials which deserve mention was a Biscuit Danee, a Lucky Number Foxtrot and Ladies‘ Choice Foxtrot. The whole evening‘s entertainment was successful from every viewpoint and reflects the greatest credit on the committee in charge of the evening, Miss Birdie Hill and Messrs W. B. Andreww and J. M. Belanger. A Paul Jones made the usual hit during the evening. In the Lucky Number Danctwthe holders of the lucky numâ€" ber were Miss Rose Ayotte and Mr. Ted Whaley.

There was a report this week in town that Mr. T. J. McGrath, who disâ€" appeared from his home at Timmins on Sept. 28th, was seen last week at Gowganda, Ont. A man formerly reâ€" sident here believed he saw Mr. Mceâ€" Grath at Gowganda, but the authoriâ€" ties are inclined to believe that it is a case of mistaken identity, though every effort is being made to follow up this clue, as well as all other evidence that may Iby any chance lead to the discovery of the whereabouts or the fate of Mr. McGrath. Mr. McGrath left his home at an early hour in the morning of Sept. 28th, and since ‘that time no clue as to where he went or what may have happened to him has been discovered. The police and his relatives have carried on a careful and persistent search for two months but without result. A number of apparâ€" ently promising clues have been folâ€" lowed up, only to turn out to be withâ€" out foundation. It is feared that the report of the missing man (being at Gowganda is only another clue that will prove barren of results, but no chances are being overlooked, and the report is accordingly being investigatâ€" ed very thoroughly and very carefully. Some weeks ago cireulars describing the missing man, together with a good photograph of him were sent all over the country, and other plans were takâ€" A Philadelphia man called up a birdâ€"store the other day and said : ‘‘Send me 30,000 cockâ€"roaches at once."‘ ‘‘What in heaven‘s name do you want with 30,000 cockâ€"roaches?"‘ ‘‘Well,‘‘ replied the householder, "‘I am moving today and my lease says I must leave the premises here in exactly the same â€"condition _ in which I found them."‘ The following from The Thrift Maâ€" gazine will remind some Timmins peoâ€" ple about a dispute here some years ago that came close to being famous : LEAVING THE PLACE THE SAME AS HE FPOUND IT.
