TO ADVERTISERS meeennmenmmes -."'"' him I' i u-‘u lehflfiwhlmumm-mw The Peace Conference that has been in session at the Hague for several weeks is drawing to a close and will probably conclude its Jabors on July 23rd. â€" The progress of the Conference has â€" been closely â€" watched from all quarters of the civilized world and the first fruits of the Czar‘s suggestion, have been cagerly awaited. No one, we may presume, was sanguine enough to expect that an immediate and gonâ€" cral disafmament would result. The militarism of Europe which has taken centuries to attain its present form cannot be swept aside in a moment. The people themselves, while groaning under the load, bave still been edâ€" ucated to believe that their national existence would be in grave danger, were a reduction in the standing army to be made; and i{ will take time to educate them to the belief that a standing army is not a real necessity to national existence. _ Nevertheless the Conference has been far from barâ€" ren of results. The prirciple of inâ€" ternational arbitration has been acâ€" knowledged and it is altogether likely that a permanent tribunal will be formed to which may be referred all national disputes. Ne nation would be obliged to band over its case to the tribunal and two great nations might go to war if they deemed &uch a course the only one open to fhem. But, just the same, such a pfly wouldfbe a conâ€" stant reminder f the: possibilities of @micable scttigiment, and would enâ€" able other peafefully inclined powers to intervene /with friendly pressure and advice, he Hague Conference bas improved (the world‘s onutlook for peace and civilization is better off for its baving been held, thanks the Czar| of Russia though his country is the last one from which civilization expected anything. s & ' The hot midsummer days remind the average townsman that be has a counâ€" try cousin and that he needs a change of air and scene. â€" ‘To the cousin, whose days are filled with toil, and whose occasionalâ€"coming to town for a holiday is a much relished treat, it may be difâ€" ficult to undérstand why this eity relaâ€" tive should value so highly the spot where be js putting in the bardest ‘grind of the year.

Rev Mr Reidel, concerning alliances with foreign nations. Germans are, as a race, eminently practical and enâ€" dowed with a large amount of common sense. ‘They also possess the admirâ€" able quality of contentment in working their way through life. In this counâ€" try, and in the United States the second generation of Germans is as thoroughly Canadian and American as we ate ourâ€" selves, more so, perhaps, than the Engâ€" ‘ lisb, Irish or Scotch, inasmuch as the bond between them and the fatherland is completely severed, and this land is to them home in the fullest meaning of the word.

The main feature of the evening‘s programme was . the botanical address given by D. Forsyth, B. A., on some of the more common plants of this district. _ ‘The address cannot be too highly spoken of,as every one whether ho had studied botany or not could readily grasp what the spenk â€" er meant, his entire discourse being devoid of technical terms so frequently used in betany. _ Mr. Forsyth held the close attention of the audiencé for nearly fifty minutes. _A hearty vote of thanks was tendered the speaker to which he responded in a few well chosen remarks. Bishop Dowling visited Berlin on Friday for the closing of the first reâ€" treat of his pricsts. HMe was accomâ€" panied by Mgr. MeEvay, Bishopâ€"cleet of London. _ Since the announcement of Mgr. McEvay‘s promotion to the See of London many movements have been set on foot, both in the Cathedral parâ€" ish and by the societies in connection with the church, with a view to giving the late rector a tangible proof of their esteem. _ The Bishopâ€"clect, however, had firmly set his face against reecivâ€" ing any addresses or presentatio@®,and henee all such movements had to be abandoned. _ An exception was made, however, in favor of his brother pricsts of the diocese, who took advantage of his visit to Berlin to give him a magâ€" nificent proof of their esteem and affeeâ€" tion, in the shape of a beautifully enâ€" grossed address and many costly gifts pertaining to the office of a Bishop. The address was read by the YVicarâ€" General of the diocese, Mgr. Heenan, of Dundas, and set forth the joy of his brethren on his promotion, yet exâ€" pressing sorrow for his removal from the Hamilton dincese. _ An carnest prayer and wish was expressed that he might be long spared to labor for the cause they all loved so well.
