Among the coins is 1787, others bearing the Queen Anne, the fetterin one dat el effig i cult to decipher, and several of the tiny three-ha'penny during the veigns of George 11, George 111, George IV, and Wil- liam Iv. Some of the pennies in use during the early days of the nineteenth century, bearing the pic ture of the Bank of Montreal and the coat of arms of the city, and one or two bearing legend "Province of Canada," and the words, "Bank Token" are among the collection. About 1844, Zion congregation se- pieces used the street, now: going the way of all things earthly was erected, the opening service being held on November 8, 1845, with a membership of two hundred and seven. A year previ ously a brick building for a Sun- | day school had been built on Moun- tain street by this congregation. The old minute books record that 1849 was year of "Fearful depres- sion and misery from which people and church did suffer much." In order to keep the congregation to- gether the pastor, Rev. Mr. Wilkes, visited Great Britain, and collected about one thousand "pounds. By 1854, it is stated in the minutes for that year, there was only one of the original members "remaining in fellowship." It was in Zion Church on June 9, 1853, that the Gavazzi riot occurred, in which about forty people were killed or wounded. Feeling at that time ran very high on the subject of Father Gavazzi, a former Italian priest, who, having left the Roman Catholic Church, was giving lec- tures and preaching in other em was | "Although things as they ity liam [Lande and For in addressing a gathering sored by the Port ber of Commerce. ring to the newsprint situation, peculiar which ca going i or seasoning. proceed from vices in the latter ones vo diffi- {om is no storage to amount to L f g E cured a site for a church home on; what was then known as Ravegonde | and the building which 1s] churches. The military were called out to quell the disturbances fal- lowing his evening sermon at Zion Church, with a Major Wilséa read- ing the Riot Act. This Major Wil- son and Lieutenant-Colonel Ho- garth of the 26th Rifles, denied having given the order to fire, aml a Captain Cameron was praised for striking his company's guns at the risk of his life, In February of the following year the rioters were ac- quitted and Gavazzi's effigy burnt. The records give a fascinating glimpse into the church life of that day, such entries as those dealing with church members being called to account for non-attendance at church "last Lord's Day, both mor- ning, afternoon and evening," and their regret for having "thus griev- ously given offense and are now contrite and most repentant," being full of interest. One particularly full account deals with the punish- ing of a church member who had "talked querulously and in a man- ner unbecoming a Christian" to the pastor and deacons, and, as he could not offer what the offended parties considered a fitting expla- nation of such heresy, he was sus- pended from membership until he did "show regret for such beha- vior, and with becoming meekness did so state before the church mem- bers in full session." As he de- clined to do this, a subsequent en- try states that he was expelled as not being worthy of Christian fel- lowship, following further unbecom- ing Sond ve TH For his land- "conversing with lord in a manner not betoming to a Christian, calling him out member was advised to remain away from Holy Communion, cr himself in a sion" solemnly, extent of name a even to the of his to consid- "state of suspen- and to consider his sins very reporting to the "mem- ers in full session" the results of his meditation."

"It must be taken care of in an orderly way and we have done anything but that. There is no doubt there has been a tremen- dously weak financial structure back of it. Backus Is Praised "Your companies are not in that position, 1 want to say quite frankly." He had words of com- mendations for E. W. Backus, and said he never plaged the market. "He is liable personally for every cent of money he bor- rowed. There is no water in his stock. There is no bad financial structure in connection with his company. It is the same in the case of the Port Arthur Mill, of which G. H. Mead, was the sole builder. His &ale of the mill amounted to only a transfer of stock and the Government could not gtop that," he said, "That fight is going on.. We're not saying 'Run Port Arthur or run Fort William' but run some of them I think we'll have a couple of mills running on half-time this coming fall. We could cancel their limits, and take their de- posits, but the whole industry is built up on the good faith of the Crown, and if we do that the credit of the province will be ruined, and we'll bring chaos and disorder to the whole coun- try.

Mr. Finlayson also spoke of the road situation. He welcomed the decision of the North Bay Con- ference as bringing closer a solu- tion of the vexed question of route and pictured a system of loops both east and west of Port Arthur which would cater to the 100,000,00¢% potential tourists in the United States. As the Port Arthur-Soo run over the lake Shore route would require two days, he advocated a big park or camping ground at some attrac- tive point about midway. MONTREAL TO HAVE "OPERETTA WEEK" Montreal, July 16--A competitive "Operetta Week," to be held next spring at a local playhouse, is al- ready conducive of unusually active initial preparations among local operetta societies. It is to be spon- sored by the Canadian Musicians Benevolent and Educational Associ- ation, of which Jerry Shea is the president, with the sole object of encouraging better music and arous- ing interest in living flesh and blood stage presentations. This competi- tion is open to amateur societies only who have in the past year pre- sented or will in the coming winter season present operettas or musical offerings. Five local societies have already signified their intention of taking part and others have written enquiring as to details. The latest definite entry is that of the McGill aad Operatic and Choral Society, through its secretary-treasurer, Ar- thur S. C. Ritchie. The Hon. L. A. David, provincial secretary, has intimated that. the Quebec Provincial Government will be pleased to donate a suitable tro- phy as first prize, to be completed for each year. A newspaper invited to take airplane trip with stunt flier for the films. A par- achute was strapped on to him and he was given careful instruc- tion regarding its use. The stunt man also wore a parachute but when he put on a heavy leather coat over it, the reporter asked timidly. "How can you use the parachute with that coat on?" "Oh, replied the pilot, nonchal- antly, "I'd have plenty of time to take off the coat when we fell." They went up and flew for seve eral minutes, until, feeling warm, the stunt man began to take off his coat. "Hot, isn't it?" he said genial- ly. But there was no reply. The passenger had jumped overboard. reporter his was first Changhai contains about 25000 Russians, an equal number of Jan- anese, close to 8,000 British, 4,000 Americans, 2,000 Germans, 1, French and approximately 2,000 other foreign residents. i A reasearch laboratory has beén established in South Carolina that is studying the mineral content of fruits and vegatables produced: in that state in comparison with other states products. 7 For a pleasing drink that will cool you off try ERASMUS WILLS SALTS Large Can 50c Narcissus Perfume Mons Carle, French Perfumer, Introduces his newest Genuine French NARCISSUS The World's Most Popular Perfume AND HIS FAMOUS Narcissus DeLuxe French Style FACE POWDER Carle's Newest Nascisats DeLuxe Drugs of Merit Here's an opportunity for our good friends and cus- tomers to purchase their Summer Toiletry require- ments at less than usual prices on our Summer Toiletries Sale. ticned here.
