The uncrowned queen of America. This is the title bestowed by 9. section of the press on the late Frances E. Wi:lard, the implication being that she was the greatest, and we infer, the best woman of her day on the Ameri can continent. K We are willing to con- cede to the late lady eminent to a de- gree in her sphere, her superior quali- ties, and we believe she had many, and all the good she did, and she probably did much, but to place her above every other woman of her day in in the opin- ion of many quite preinature.

The eld 6: work in which the late,` Frances E. Willard distinguished her- sell` was as leader of -women in W. C.T.U. work. She was without doubt a great and talented leader, organizer; speaker and writer in temperance mat ters. The organization of which she was the distinguished head, claims credit of saving thousands from the ` drunkard s grave, and yet perhaps can- not give one instance in particular. Like other great reformatory move- ments the success of temperance de- pends ' on the individual rescue. It is all very well for any church or society to say scores or hundreds have been saved through its instrumentality, but can either point positively to one case in particular? That is the test. a..m. a.m. a..m. am. p.m. .m. .m. .m- 7.11 8.10 10.02 11.15 2.07 E26 $.30 ALLANDALE TO BARRIE. HAMlL'1 UN. 7 11 3.111.

E. Hewaon one week before in that hall that Mr. Andrew Miecamp-. bell, the candidate in East Simcoe, had Iowan, w-w vv--- ---- voted in place of his dq;eased father, A. Miscampbell, on the McDonald-st. property owned by the deceased gentle- man previous to his death and occupied by his sister, Mrs. Gregg, until her death. Mr. Pepler was the first speak er, and proved by the voters list of 1896 the impossibility of Mr. Hewson s facts being true. G Mr.--R. J ; Fletcher the Assessor for 1896, when the alleged impersonation took place, also went over the,vot'ers listof 1896, and pro- duced his afdavit that he had assessed the property referred to, to Andrew - Miscampbell (the candidate) as owner, and Wm. Gregg as tenant. An a- davit was also produced froms Wm. Gregg, who was present at the meeting, saying that he had requested Mr. Flet- cher to assess the property to Andrew ' Miscampbell (the candidate) as owner, and to himself (Gregg) as tenant, An- drew Miscampbell er. and Mrs. Greg being both deceased. G V - Mr. Hewson was given one hour to speak and after giving his facts which Showed little or no enquiry after the truth, the following dialogue took place : -_ ..- ..-I`:- Wm. Gregg--Did you state that Andrew Miscampbell imperaonated his father '1" ` V - C. E. Hewson-No, I did not. Gregg-Did you insinuatevthat An- drew Miscumpbell impersoniated "his father '1 Hewson--I Agave . the people the facts and allowed them to draw their own conclusions. "Gregg-"I want `yes or `no to the question. _ Hewson--Mind your business. This impertinent answer established the belief that Mr. Hewscn had at least insinuated the charge laid at his door, and the effect was the same as if he had openly stated it, for everyone knew what he meant} The evidence against him was unmistakable yet he would not acknowledge the injustice he had done to Mr. Miscampbell,w hose_ character he had attempted to besmearf By taking back what he had said It week before he wouldhave been doing only what a gentleman should do, but Mr.. Hewson does not see anything clean in politics. . L man or Mmmnnlrsii % From i that smallest miniature to life size. ' in EDITORIAL NOTES.

The report goes on to state that 33 boys were. in apprecia- tion of their general good conduct, re- leased before expiry of sentence. The wisdom of such leniency is very ques- tionable. It is assumed that the pun- ishment decided upon V in the -case ef every boy was made commensurate with the evil or wrong-doing of which he was guilty . By releasing him there- fore he is not given justice, and noth ing less than justice Wlli lead to per- manent reformation.

American girls are fond of pearls and have no superstitious fears that they mean tears. It may not be known to the possesscrs of these gems that pearls t are regarded as well or ill from a jew'eler s point of view. Like human beings, they require fresh air to be kept alive. In other words, they must be worn and not remain too long in a clos- ed case. Judges of pearls can tell by looking at them whether the gem is lucido (clear and healthy), or wheth- er it is beginning to be an invalid. Ex- perts telk of pearlsdying, they some- times becoming discoiored and turning black. A black pearl may be a handsome stone, but it has not the evanescent rainbow suggestions to be seen in a milky or rosy pearl. Italian women, who know a great deal about pearls. wear their necklaces and ropes con- stantly. This gives them the light and air required by the mysterious forma- tions, and yet they are not exposed to the chances of discoloration by being touched with acid. i It is easier to keep pear]: in fair con- dition when they are set in a lacepin or in necklaces. It is hard to care for them in a nger ring. One must be care- ful to remove them not only in washing 1 the hands, but they should never be 1 wornwhen there in likelihood of being 1 touched by food or drink. AI_-._A. - ...-_LI.
