In his farewell sermon A couple of weeks ago he gave as his chief reason for making the change the fact that the congregation did not seem to show enough appreciation to pay the stipend by direct contribuâ€" tion, but had to. resort to other methods, such as teas, entertainments, ete., to raise the necessary funds. |\ Mis ; returned on to resume her School, after THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO. { Mrs. W.

With the handsome dining hall in this modern hotel,| the attractive +menu, the excellent service, the low price, and the fact that there will be orchestral music for| the occasion, the Empire Hotel Spe:| al Sunday Dinner should make very: general appeal. i Officer Jas. Cushing, of Schumacher, noticed a young man walking across some lanes. in Schumacher, carrying a grip that appeared heavy but not solid as regards contents. The young man did not like the policeman watchâ€" ing him and dropped the grip and ran. The officer was too distant to catch the man but he got the grip and the grip was full of . beautiful booze. / SCHUMACHER CALEDONIANS TO GIVE OPEN DANCE ON 28th. On open dance will be given in the Mclntyre Recreation Hall on Thursâ€" day evening, Jan. 28th, commenging at 9 o‘clock, under the auspices of the Caledonian Society of Schuâ€" macher. Good music; refreshments; a good time assured for all. _ There will be no other social evening held by the Society during January. A very interesting announcement is made this week, namely the openâ€" ing of the Timmins College of Music at 12 Third Avenue. Mrs,. J. W. Faithful and Mr. Roland R. Johnston, L. R. A. M., are in charge of the new college of music, and this fact will be absolute guarantee to all who know these two gifted musicians as to the soundness of the training in music that will be available. Mrs. Faithful, ever since the early days of the camp, has been held in the highest regard not only as a mujgsician of outstanding talent lbult also as a teacher of markâ€" ed ability. Mr. Johnston has won the highest place for his undoubted musical gifts and he has also proven his worth as an instructor. He holds high degree;s from leading musical inâ€" stitutions and has had wide and variâ€" ed experience. It is the intention of the Timmins College of Music to add other teachers, for violin, ete., as reâ€" quirements warrant. TIMMINS COLLEGE OF MUSIC OPENING MONDAY The regular meeting of the Caledoâ€" nian Society of Timmins will be held in the Hollinger Recreation Hall on Friday evening of this week, Jan. 8th. An interesting programme is expectâ€" ed, to include music, ete., and, of course, usual _ refreshments There will be a paper by G. A. Macâ€" donald on ‘‘Boswell; a Great Little Sotshman.,, One of the features of this will be a sort of question box, it being held that one of Boswell‘s books touches practically very phase of life, manners, art, philosophy, ete. Quesâ€" tions will be solicited with the idea of answering them through Boswell. The odd dance or two will also feaâ€" ture the enjoyment of the evening. A good attendance is asked as there are several matters of importance to be dealt with by the Society, includâ€" ing arrangements in connection with the Burns Banquet planned for the Empire Hotel, Monday, Jan. 25th, the 167th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, the immortal Scottish CALEDONIAN MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT THIS WEEK THE GOOD WISHES DID NOT MATERIALIZE APPARENTLY. May fortune shine on you And bring you good cheer! This is my fervent wish For the New Year. The above verse was on a greeting card held in possession by a man arâ€" rested last week for drunkenness. The card had been sent to the gentleâ€" man by a friend in a neighbouring town, and though the aforesaid gentleâ€" man had lost his balance, his hat and more or less his head, not to mention his liberty, he held on to that card like a mosquito to a silk stocking. At first glance it might appear as if the friend‘s good wishes were as inâ€" effectual as the verge in which they were couched. Fortune does not seem to be shining very brilliantly when a man lands in jail. _ But there are other ways of looking at it! The gentleman had a very large load on. Fortune must have shone brightly to lead him to such a vast quantity of booze. The gentleman had clothes, good watch, some money and other valuables, and these were all still his (excepting $20.50 for the fine <and eosts) after he sobered up. â€" Fortune was smiling brightly all right. It was a cold night,â€"too coldâ€"to sleep outâ€" doors, and the gentleman was too tanâ€" gled in the feet and the head to seâ€" eure shelter for himself. Fortune shined on him and a policeman followâ€" ed the beam and reseuned the gentleâ€" man from his serious danger. Perâ€" haps, after all, good withes on a ereeting card do help bring good luck. LIQUIR CASES FEATURE OF THIG WEEC‘S COURT Five Fines on Five Counts of HMlegally Having Liquor. Other Cases Decided Here Yesterday J. Cote was fined $200.00 and costs for having liquor in other than his private dwelling. On a similar count, A. Millan and T. Hearty each paid $50.00 and costs. Mrs, M. Perchesâ€" key was assessed $100.00 and costs for illegally having. D. W. MeDonâ€" ald for liquor in a public place paid $50.00 and costs. Macpherson‘s drug store at Schumacher was fined $300, and costs for illegal purchase. Four drunks paid the usual ten and eosts at police court yesterday. TIwo others were remanded for a week. One young man was allowed to go on suspended sentence on the charge of theft of some batteries from a local store. Another lad in the same case was remanded for a week. M. Brovender charged I. K. Pierce with assault. The case was remanded to next week. Charges that included a transfer firm, a truck driver, and a drug store were remanded for further investigaâ€" tion. Last week four cases of whisâ€" key arrived in town addressed to what appeared to be a fictitious address. Provincial Officers Craik and Delves seized two of the cases on a transfer truck coming from the drug store. The other two cases were found in the store room of the drug store but were unopened and the drug store disâ€" claimed all knowledge of them pointâ€" ing out as they were clearly addressed otherwise they must have been deliâ€" vered by mistake. The transfer driver who took the cases from the express office and left them at the drug store unknown to the staff, has not yet been. located. He was disâ€" charged by the transfer firm the evenâ€" ing of the occurrence and apparently left town. PLEASANT BIRTHDAY NEW YEAR‘S NIGHT A birthday party was given on New Year‘s Night in the Hollinger Recreation Hall by Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Sopha in honour of their eldest daughter, Miss Idella Sopha.

The accompanists at the piano were Misses Mabel Bourne and Annie Scott, and also Masters Douglas Carriere and Jim MacFadâ€" den. The Highland dancers were Misses Margaret Kerr and Robena Sopha. Miss Idella Sopha received innumerable beautiful gifts which were much appreciated by her, as were also the many good wishes exâ€" tended and the kind sociability of all present. . EXCELLENT PROGRAMME AT ST. MATTHEW‘S CLUB. _,,_',,-- ‘St. Matthew‘s Social Club started the new year in splendid style on Tuesday. The programme, though not long, was of exceedingly high quality. It is not often that the Club has the pleasure of listening to musicians so artistically gifted as Mr. and Mrs. Wilâ€" kins, and their selections were lisâ€" tened to with the keenest appreciaâ€" tion. Something altoghter new and delightful was the solo on the Japanâ€" ese oneâ€"stringed violin by Mr. Wilâ€" kins. Mr. W. Lainsbury, wellâ€"known as an elocutionist of very high stanâ€" dard gave a couple of recitations that were received with such rapt attention that one could have heard a pin drop. Whaley‘s orchestra kindly furnished excellent music for dancing. _ There will be a business meeting next Tuesâ€" day evening. Will all members kindâ€" ly endeavour to be present as there are several matters of importance to discuss, on Tuesday, January 12th, at 8.15 p.m. in the church basement. i, /i‘uesday evening the officers for the ensuing term were duly installed at the 1LO.0.F. lodge hall at Timmins.

CLUB IN NEW1LO.0.F. dAll Another outstanding suecess was added to the record of ~enjoyable dances held by the A. 8. D. Club this season, when the Opening Night in the new Oddfellow‘s Hall last night proved one of enjoyment to all attendâ€" ing. For the Opemro' Night at the new Oddfellow‘s Hall on Spruce St., North, the Club had decided to run an open night, each member being enâ€" titled to ask some guest, and not as Visitor‘s Night when only those not eligible for membership in the Club can be asked. There was a good atâ€" tendance of members and guests, beâ€" ing about fifty couples present. After a couple of foxtrots, Mr. J. K: Kenâ€" nedy acted as director for a Paul Jones, this dance accomplishing its purpose of getting the guests acâ€" quainted with each other, A moonâ€" light waltz was another enjoyable number. The lucky number foxtrot as usual created great interest, Mrs. Gordon Torrance and Mr. Cliff Ferguâ€" son holding the lucky number. Anâ€" other special was a confetti foxtrot. A second Paul Jones, under the diâ€" rection of Mr. Kennedy was much enâ€" joyed. The dance ended at one 0‘â€" clock with the Home Waltz and the National Anthem. The music provided during the evenâ€" ing by the A. 8. D. Orchestra, under the leadership of Ted Whaley, was of the best. Miss Mary Boyd looked after the refreshments, these as usual being an enjoyable part of the evenâ€" ing‘s programme. At a meeting of the Executive Comâ€" mittee of the Club, held on Tuesday evening in the apartment of Messrs Jacobs and Belanger the schedule for the month of January was drawn up. Next Wednesday the Club are holding a Skating Party, to be fcllowed by dancing in the I. 0. 0. F. Hall On the 20th, the usual weekly dance will be held, and on the 27th a Ski Party is to be held. For the last event in January a committee consisting of: Miss Mary Boyd and Messrs J. Jacâ€" obs and H. P. Shan‘tz has been apâ€" pointed to locate a suitable ‘run.‘ Then on Friday evening, February fifth, the A. 8. D. Club are to hold their annual dance in the Masonic Hall. Members desiring to invite guests for this event should have all names turned in by the last meeting in January; names turned in after that date will not be considered by the Clu‘b.
