A "NAMMOTH CELESRATION IN BROCKVILLE oN THE ' GLORIOUS TWELFTH." Between 15,000 and 20,000 Visi- tors in The Island City--Sev- enty-Tive Stands Of Colors--A Great Day in The History Of Uiangeism, : The busy town of Brockville ete on Saturday, and ihe gates of the pretty little island erty were thrown wide oP*n to her thousands of visitors It was the 202th anniver- sary of the haitle of the Boyne, cele brated under the auspices of Brock ville Loyal Orange lodge, No, 1, which was founded in 152, The me mbers of this, the oldest lodge in Canada, werg Untiring in their efforts to accommo date and entertain their visiting bre thren. Brockville never before had strangers within her gates, and it doubtful if & similar celebration ia size was ever held in eastern tario. 'Fhere werd . nearly 99 000 Visi tors, which' number is over twice that Bh the town's population. In the mam- Woth procession there were betwee 2000 and 4,000 Urangemen, True Blues, Prentice Boys and Orange Young Britons, Over seventy-five standy of colors were exhibited on Parades Half 4 dozen brass bands- in cluding those from Deseronto, North Agusta, Lyndhurst, Toledo, Smith's Falls and Merriekyiile- and a great number of fife and dram bands, played MEpiring mosie.

Every excursion that came into Brockville on Saturday was a crowd Wm itsell. 'The old reliable Bro kville and Westport train brought 800 peo- ple. The GTR. train from Kingston, Gananoque, Lansdowne and Mallory- town carried five extra coaches, bringing in over 300 people. The G.T. R. train drow the east carried a large uxcutsion from Montreal Cornwall, and other points. THe largest exeur sion by rail was that ever the C.P.R from Ottawa, Smith's Falls, Carleton Place, ete. This train had to be split in two sections. The first section to arrive carried 1.325 passengers, and the second had nearly as many more, The excursions by steamer were al most as numerous. The America from Kingston and Gananoque arrived ahead of time with nearly 500 passen gers, including the Independent fife and drum band of Kingston, and the Gananoque fife and drum band. The Aletha started frou Trenton, Relle- ville am! Deseronto the day before, and had ox board nearly 300 people. 'The Victoria, from Gananoque, Rock- port and other river points had her full complement. The Brockville carri- ed several humdred passengers from Iroquois and Prescott. The Island Belle brought a big excursion from Thous- and Island points. The Massena and lelleville landed the Prescott and Og denshurg visitors. The ferry boat Arm strong brought over the excursionists from Watertown, Gouverneur, and oth er American points, The country lodges drove into the city at weak of day, snd they came by thousauds. The. walks, though gen erous in width, were all too narrow for the crowds; who overflowed into the street. Traffic was almost blocked, so dense were the masses of visitors. The man who got his dinner before two o'clock was looked upon as a leky fellow. Crowds stood outside the hotels for hours, waiting their turn, Special * preparation? had been made to accommodate the hig crowd, but, notwithstanding this, many peo- ple were obliged to go without their dinner. One might as well have tried to capture Gibraltar as to gain en trance to gq restaurant. The mammoth parade formed on Court House avenue at 2 p.m, but that spacious square could aecommo- dute not more than a fraction of the lodges. The procession terminated at the mew armouries on King strpet, where addresses were delivered by pro minont Orangemen. Those who filled the drill shed to overflowing were nev- er missed from the crowd. The day was an especially fine one ; the son shone warm and bright, while a cool breeze tempered the atmos phere. Brockville never before enter tained such a crowd, but she did her best and did it well, and everyone was satisfied. = The gentlemanly behavior and sobriety of the big crowd were freely commented upon. Not a drunk- eu man was seen in the town up till the time the exeursions Jeft at six o'clock. The Brockville celebration of the "Glorious Twellth," will Jong re DAILY.

' Such cute little watering carte as Brockville has ' A strong man with a sprinkling can would give them dan gerous competition. Yet the miniature watering carte are kept on the hustle and they do their work well Many of the Kingston visitors din ed at Potel Strathcona, where they were pleased to meet the proprietor, Thomas Crate, formerly of the British American hotel, of this city. Brock ville hay well be proud of her elo gant nw summer hotel, ~ Mai/ Mackenzie, Tate commander of the fiananoque field battery, was one of he mounted marshals. For over half a century he. has been a promin ent figure in all such celebrations, and his military training renders his ser vices especially valuable. "What we would like to see," two Montreal Orangemen, "is a big enlebration like this in Montreal. We could have it, too, if the eastern On tario ledges would turn out like thes did to-day. We have a large number of Orangemen in the metropolis." The "Island City" is indeed a beau. tiful little town. The large proportion of granclithic pavements gives the town an up-to-date appearance The clean, well shaded strects and the briskness that characterized her husi ness life could not fail to leave anim pression upon the visitor. The writer who would sttempt a description of the various: uniforms seen: in the parade woold produce a work that would, like the Boer war, "stagger humanity." King William of Orange had several representations. and each of them was appropriate to the time in which he flourished. Some of the uniforms were very beautiful and others--well, they were attractive anyway. 452, said DEATH OF A GIANT. Lewis Wilkins, Omaha, Eight Feet Two Inches Tall. Chicago, July 14.--One of the giants of the earth died to-day at the Pres byterian hospital, when Lewis Wilkins expired after several months' affliction with~y tumor on the brain. Wilkins was thirty-three years old: and eight feet two inches in height. When in good health he weighed 365 pounds. A casket nine feet long and twice as wide as t ordinary coffin is being construc for the body of the dead grant. \ A spgfinl bed had to be constructed for hn at the hospital. A ring that Wilkins had worn on a finger of his left hand is so large that 4 silver do! lar can be easily passed through it. Brooms To Cost More. Chicago, Hl, July 14. From all dications the housewiic will have te pay a high price for her broems in the near future. A careful smmary ol the reports from the broom-corn dis tricts of IHinois, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas shows that the acreag planted in broom corn is folly thirty per cent. short of 'the acreage of the year 1901, and forty per cent. short of the ver 1900. The shortage in the crop har resulted in an advance of R10 10 820 4 ton in the price, and fur ther aavances are expected. The price of broowecorn has advanced the price of brooms and within the next week of two a meeting of the National broom manufacturers' association will hé held in this city to consider how much they shall advance the price of brooms. in ---- Frenca National Holiday.

In the Treatment of Criminals -- Poaching Used To Be One Of the Most Serious Offences. Returning to the quaint diary of old Fisherton gaol, Wilts, we (Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper) find a note in TR26 of a pauper eighty-five years old being charged with refus- ing to Work, On heing convicted he was sentenced to one month's im- prisonnmient and to be ounce privately whipped. 3 Marianne Moore was tried in 1820 for felony in the house of the lady milliners to whom she was servant, und hud a narrow escape. The pe culidrity in the case was that by an Act of Parliament passed in the previous year (Peel's Act) private stealing Ina dwelling house was ren- dered capital, if to the amount of five pounds. When the five sovereigns were weighed one of them proved to be of light weight, and the capital churge was therefore abandoned. Death penalties were then so com- mon that in 1830 Baron Vaughan pointed out that of fifty-four cases to come before him there were only seven which were not capital. A man believing that the sale of a wife publicly in the market place with a halter round her neck would have the full force of a divorce le- gully obtained, took his wife (equ- ally willing to ry a change of cir- cumstances) into the public market ut Melksham, and there disposed of her for two shillings and sixpence to a man named William Watts. The couple were committed to prison for the offence, but Watts was acquitted An extraordinary conspiracy was nnearthed in 1886, Two brothers in association with a woman carried op Prosecutions of felony in Dorset, Somerset and Gloucester. The whole of the evidence was fabricated, the object being to obtain the expenses allowed for such prosecutions. A curious point of law arose 1887. James Curtis and Ann Pon tin were indicted for having stolen what was described as being mutton. The coutisel objected * that if any- thing" was stolen it 'was a sheep, of whith 'there was abundant evidence to have convicted them. They re both acquitted on this flaw: An ordinary case of robbery obtain- ed some importance in 1888, by reas- on of an underlying romance, as will be seen in the following story :-- 'George Thorne was indicted for stealing a quantity of hristles, the property of his employer, John Wil- kins, of Westbury. It appears that Thorne was engaged by Wilkins as a foreman, and recéived £100 salary, with an agreement that when the profits of sale amounted to a certain sum he should receive fifty per cent upon the profits. A great many par- vels of bristles having been missed, Mr. Wilkins marked some packages and meented themi with lavender wat- er. 'These, being also very shortly missed, were graced to the possession of Thornes" (It is necessary here to premise that "it is the custom in muny shops to allow the employed to purchase anything they may want for their own use, without paying for it at the time, and at the cost price, provided that it be properly entered in the day book to the credit of the master.) Thorne had kept company with 'a Miss Rymer, a young lady possessing considerable property, and to whom he was shortly to have been united, the wedding day being fixed, and 4 handsomely furnished house prepared. While in prison, Thorne bethought himself of the following ingenious plan (which had great probability of succeeding) to obtain his acquittal. He had received a Tetter from Miss Rymer; on a vacant corner of this he wrote an account of all the articles found at his lodg- ing¥, charging himself with them as a debtor to his master. This he pri- vately contrived to send to Miss Rymer, with instructions how to act; and she soon after found means to have this paper placed among some other papers and things undér the desk in Mr Wilkins' shop. This be- ing accomplished, it was then, for the first time, stated that he had charg- ed himself with the various' articles and had left a niemorandm to that effect uplpn the desk, Search being acgor ily made, the identical slip of pay was found. but suspicion arising, application was made to the governor of the gaol, who caused all Thorne's papers to be seized, and among them was still preeerved the letter of Miss Rymer, with the corner torn off; and to which the plece found in the shop exactly corresponded (had this letter been destroyed in all probability the priSoner would have been acquifted)," Miss Rymes"s re- gard for the prisoner so far over- came every prudent or upright .fecl- ing as to induce her to swear that the paper on which she wrote her letter was given her by the prisoner before he went to prisoh--that the letter was so mutilated when she wiote it--and that she remarked to her fither that such was the ' case-- and that when the letter wad folded it could be partly read which induce ed her Consequently to make a pare cel of It: Ie father also swore that he recollected his daughter saying of paper much torn, and that she su uently" recalled the circum the letler wad not so mutilated when he reud it,' previously to delivering it to the prischer.

The Rev. Francis Landey Patton. DD, LL.D. has surprised his friends and Princeton University by retiring from the Presidency of that institu- tion. He will not, however, resign entirely" from connection with it, bit will AJ!d the chalr in Biblical in- struction, ethics and philosophy of religion. His reason for this step is that he wishes to carry out more extensively the literacy plans which he has under way, and from which bis dutits as President withdrew too much of bis time. Canadian futerest in Prof Patton arises from the fact that he was trained at the University of Toron- to and at Knox College. He was born in Bermuda in 1848. After his course in Canada Dr. Patfon studied theology at Princeton, and graduat- ed there in 1865. He was ordained to the ministry by the Presbytery of New York in that year. He was then pastor succeskivly of the Figh- ty<fourth Street Presbyterian Church, New York, for two years; the I'res- byterian church at Nyack for three years, and the South Church of Brooklyn. In 1872 he became pro- fessor of didactic and polemical theo- logy in the theological seminary in Chicago, now called McCormick Sem- inary. From 18738 to 1878 Dr. Pat- ton edited The 'Interior, the Presbhy- terian denominational paper in Chic- ago. Out of this relation grew the famous "Swing case,"' the controver- sy hetweén Dr. Patton and Prof. David Swing, resulting ia Prof, Swing's trial for heresy, and, after active prosecution by' Dy, Patton, his leaving the church. Dr. "Patton has written several hooks on religious subjects, besides contributing to the magazines. "A Treatise on the Inspiration of the Scriptures," "A Summary of Chris- tian Doctrine' and "The Doetrine of Future Retribution" are titles of some of his works. Dr. Patton continued at McCor- mick till 1887, and was during the latter part of his stay 'in Chicago, in addition to his other employ- ments, pastor of the Jeflerson Park Presbyterian Church. He was the representative from the United States to the Pan-Presbhyterian Qounecil at Edinburgh in 1878, and in the same year he was Moderator of the United States Presbyterian General Assembly which met at Saratoga. In 1879 Dr. Patton was offered a pro- fessorship in the Presbyterian Theo- logical College of London, England, but declined. In 1881 he took a chair at Princeton Theological Sem- inary that was established and en- dowed specially for him. It fs call- ed the chair of the relations of philo- sophy and science to the Christian religion. * In 1885 Dr. Patton was made professor of ethics in the uni- versity, and in 1888 he became Pre- sident of Princeton. HIS FIRST ADDRESS. Late Pref. Halliday Deugins' Response to Canadian Weloome. When the late Prof. Halliday Doug- las of Knox Coliege came to Canada about a year ago, he was welcomed by tie gdfeat leaders of Presbyterian- ism here. Those who heard his reply were at ouve hnpressed with a thor- ough appreciation of his ability as a speaker, and his thoughtful, earn- est and intellectual face was very generally commented on. He ex pressed his gratifieation at the kind- ness of his welcome and at the op- portunity of personally professing his allegiance to the church: in Canada, and to Knox College. He had kpown before leaving the old land that Cap- ada was a great country, and that he would find the churdh of his fa- thers taking a full share in the reli- gious and moral life of the Dominion, but it was another thing to come into the churches and observe the earnestness, the variety and magni- tude of Christian activity which he had witnessed. Owing to the condi- tions which existed, the Presbyter- ian "Church might, perhaps, have been excused hud there been a lower- ing of the standard of ministerial training. Yet he found they had not sent men to their litle work unpre- pared. He spoke of the necessity of trained and educated men as preach ers, teachers, shepherds and guides ol souls, and appealed to the Pres byterian people to send from their homes to the colleges men inspired by faith, love and zeal for the work of the ministry, Cavada's Forest Wealth. From a point on the Atlantic sea- hoard some two hundred miles north of the boundary line, reaching up- ward to the Arctic circle, and stretching across the continent to the waters of the Pacific, a vast forest, whick contains a large variety of the most, valuable trees of ecommerce, cover the land. The elm, ash, hick- ory, oak, beech, butternut, and hard maple of New Brumswick, Quebec and Ontario, give place as the forest swings west and north, to the im- mense pine woods of the Ottawa and its tributaries.
