"Mr. Charles Rose, who died in Port Perry on the 20th of February, 1914, at the age of 85 years, was born in . Sidney Township, Hastings County, Ontario, on January 26th, 1829. His #ather was an Englishman, and his mother Vermont Dutch. His father lied when Charles was quitc young, and he was early left with the respon- «sibility of looking after the family, which was large as he had eight sisters and one brother.

"Tne Foll Large Majority played good hockey on' Thursday last, but we cannot say as much for the. visitors. When the Crescents played in Little Britain a week or so ago'th.y were defeated by a score of 7--0, but we have to consider that they played in a blinding snow storm. The forwards of the Crescents are good fast skaters, and exception: ally good shots The man who looks after their nets is also on his job. Little Britain team lacked combin- ation and speed and were much in need of a goal tender. The game resulted in a win for the Crescents 22--9 : A fair crowd of spectators witnes- sed the game. Crescents Win Again The Crescents won from Myrtle on Monday night by a score of 15--7 at Port Perry. The visitors were com- pletely out-classed in every respect of the game. Tommy Bowerman starred for the home The found it hard to stop his individual work. The game was clean, there being only 3 penalties. A fair crowd of spectators were precent.

The bouse has nearly four hundred members and the Senate ninety-six, 'most of whom seem to be interested. in getting ap- propriations for 'their districts and | states aside from _ the permanent | government appropriations. = Perhaps no one thing has caused "more eriti- cism of Congress in the - past than rivers-and-harbors bill and the public building bill are notable examples." + The criticism has had no edge how- ever. Its utter futility is proved by the record." The Democrats came into power decrying Republican ex- travagances and - promising ecoromy, and almost at once they 'passed a pork-barrel building bill, which was so rank that leading members of the tion | party denounced it.
