BENEFIT CONGERT SUND BY CORNISH PEOPLE ! Vol. XIV. No. 52 Singing of Ma.le' Choir a Special Feaâ€" ture. Duet by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Jenkin â€" Another Favourite. In the New Empire theatre after the church services on Sunday evening the Cornish people of the town gave benefit concert with the purpose of assisting a local resident who has been No S Es k ~ in hard circumstances. The receipts from the event were not as large @As had been hoped but will be of some assistance; while the concert itself was an interesting and pleasing one throughout. Mr. C. G. Keddie occupiâ€" ed the chair for the evening in very acceptable and efficient way, and th2 Jengthly programme proved of interest to the crowd present. On account of lack of notice the attendance was low expectations and below what merit of the event warranted. A special feature of the programme was the singing of the male choir. This choir has about twenty voices that blend prefectly and the harmony and musical talent achieved hy the male choir delighted all present. Among the numbers given in excellent way by this choir were:â€""O, Come All Ye Faithful,"" "Hark the Glad sSound," "Hail, Sacred Day," "Lo, HKe Comes" "Angelic Hosts," "All Hail the Power of Jesus‘ Name." The duet by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Jenâ€" kin was a very popular one and won very insistent encore. Their selection, "The Spider and the Fly," was enâ€" thusiastically appreciated. Later in the evening Mrs. Jenkin favoured with a solo, "Rose Marie" that delighted the audience, her remarkably fine voice beâ€" ing heard to advantage. Mr. Jenkin showed his skill at the piano in his work as accompanist. Other notewarthy items on the proâ€" gramme included:â€"solo, "Arise, O, Sun!‘" by Mr. Jago; duet, "Barcarolle," by Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Cretney; solo, "O‘er the Billowy Sea," by A. W. Snow:; duet, "Watchman, What of the Night?" by Messrs Snow and Jago; reâ€" citation by Capt. Jones; cornet solo by Carl Johns. The latter was one of the outstanding numbers on the proâ€" gramme this gifted cornet player pleasâ€" L n S Mn n ing all by his talent on the cornet. All the other items on theâ€"programme were much appreciated and applauded, and the programme generally was conâ€" sidered a most satisfactory one. PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 2878 All Delighted With the Habitant Troubadours The concent given in the New Empire theatre on Saturday evening by Charles Marchand and his Habitant Troubaâ€" dours was one of the most enjoyable events heard in town. The attendance was small, this no doubt being due to the many counter attractions, Christâ€" mas tree events, and the general rush of the holiday season. The fact that the stores were open and busy also no doaubt prevented many who otherwise would have enjoyed the event from @>ing so. But if Mr. Marchand and his Habitant Troubadours had cause to be disappointed in the crowd at the event, they had equal cause for satisâ€" faction in the pleasure they undoubtâ€" edly gave their audience and the enâ€" thustastic appreciation they roused for every number. Dressed in gay Frenchâ€" Canadian woodsmen‘s costunes, the Habitant Troubadours, led by Mr. Marchand whose fine voice, musical gifts and talent for expression, deâ€" lighted all with their attractive music. They sang old French and English congs; they sang the shanty songs and the Canadian boat songs in both and English; they sang original French scongs, English setting; and in each and every case they succe:ded in rousâ€" ing the greatest enthusiasm and pleasâ€" ure M ‘their audience. The entertainâ€" ment was of original kind and this added to its attractiveness. The voices in the group of four were gord and blemded in remarkably pleasing way. Mr. Marchand is a singer of especial not and he showed the reason why he has aitained fame as a singor of the clever and humcrous and appealing sonmas of long ago in Canadai. OvVER TWO HUNDRED KIDDIES AT LEGION CHRISTMAS TREE One of the most successful and pleasâ€" ing of the many Christmas trees held in the district was that under the ausâ€" pices of the Timmins Post of the Canâ€" adian Legion held in the Hollinger hall on Friday evening last. There were over 200 children present and this litâ€" tle army of youngsters of returned sodiers had as much fun as their fathers had on Armisice Night overâ€" seas. President Austin Nesame disâ€" tributed the gifts which were unusualâ€" y good ones and appropriate to the children receiving them. There was not a child but was happy on Friday nisht at the Holinger hall. â€" Santa Claus present in full regalia added to the pleasure of the evening. There were also games and a general happy timse. â€" During ths> evening refreshâ€" ments were served to the children and the parents who accompanied their youngsters, and all agread that the event was a most enjoyable one, and all hops the Legion will make it an annual affair, 9 Sections â€" 12 Pages Other Good Numbers. a t thg EXPLOSION OF GAS PAMAEGE AT STORE HERE Brick Top Over Furnace at Marshaliâ€" Ecclestone‘s Blown Off on Saturâ€" day Afternoon. Dust Collectâ€" ed in Space Between Brick and Boiler Blamed. An explosion cccurred in the baseâ€" ment of the Marshallâ€"Ecclestone store on Saturday afternoon about 4.30, the brick top over the furnace being blown off and causing som»e damage through fiying bricks and soot. An alarm of fire was turned in and the brigade made the usual quick response, but had litâ€" tle work to do, as the gasses thougnt t3 have caused the acciden had spent themselves. It is figured that the exâ€" plasion was due to dust and ash gathâ€" ered in the space between the bosiler and the brick top, gas forming from the accumulation of years in This spac? The furnace was built for wosd 0° coal, there being the usual air betwesn the boiler and the bricks. More recently the furnace was equipâ€" ped with an oil burner, but the former brick top was left as before. The ‘heory advanced is that gas had formâ€" ed from the ash and dirt that would naturally be in the spacs between boilâ€" er and bricks and that there being no vent large encugh to carry off the gas so formed the explosion took place. While the incident created some little excitement, it was socn apparent that the accident was not a serious one. Investigation showed that the boiler was intact and unharmed, the only damage being to the bricks. The exâ€" tent of the damage may be guaged by the fact that at 9 o‘clock there was a fire going in the furnace and steam was up again in another half heur and everything all right so far as the furnace was concerned. The oil heatâ€" er was found to be all right in every particular, the only damage it received being from the fire extinguishing fluid used, which, of course, simply had to be washed off to leave the heater unâ€" harmed. Some who might be inclined to think the oil heating apparatus at fault should note that only the bricks on top of the boiler were hurt the bailer itself and the oil heating apâ€" paratus being all right, and now ready for reâ€"~installation after being cleaned off the fireâ€"extinguisher fluid. It may also be noted â€"that the firm carried on business as usual this week. There are cases on record where similar acâ€" ‘dents have occurred in furnaces using bituminous ccal, lint and ash apparâ€" ently combining with coal gas to cause PIANO PLAYER DELJGHTS KIWANIS CLUB ON MONDAY explosion. Propably the special feature at the regular weekly luncheon of the Kiwaâ€" nis Club in the Empire hotel on Monâ€" day of this week was the piano playing of Jimmie McFadden. In the absence through illness of W. H. Wilson (Scotâ€" ty), Mr. McFadden played the pilano accompanimenis for the occasion and did this wi‘h notable talent and efâ€" fectivensess. In addition he favoured the gathering with a couple of pianoâ€" forte selections that were greatly apâ€" preciated for the talemt shown and the pleasant, lively, melodious music preâ€" sented.

There was no special speaker for the day but the discussions were interesting and lively and many matters of importance rore talk>d over.

This it up exprecsions of appreciation also for the good work Mr. Wilson, who fcr more than five years had given such valuable service to the club as pianist. In that five years or more, "Scotty" never missed a single meeting until a couple of weeks he was inâ€" jured in a fall while fancy skating at the Timmins rink. He is still confined to the house, though making good proâ€" gress to recovery and expecting to be out in a week or so. The club decided to send a little Christmas token to "Scot:y" as a reminder that he is missâ€" ed at the club and that his faithful service to the club continuously for the past five years or so is much apâ€" preciated.

Members of the Kiwanis Club have been especially good in volunteering for this service and parents can be assured that the youngsters will be well looked after in the theatres The youngsters thnemselves will not need to be assured that the shows will be well worth attending, but it may fairly be noted that the programme at both theatres will be especially good. In addition it is understood that the programmes are the kind that are of special atâ€" traction to youngsters while at the same time they will also particularly please grownâ€"ups when the latter see them in the ordinary theatre hours for general admission.

Children to> small to go without their mothers or o‘lher guardians will need to wait for some other cocscasion. There will be ensugh voluntsers to look after the youngâ€" sters, and to keep room for the childâ€" ren themselves in the theatres it is necessary to restrict the to ‘ne youngsters. Cornish Christmas Tree Another Jolly Suceess Cornish Sozial Club events are alâ€" ways happy successes, but those atâ€" tending the Christmas three on Thursâ€" day evening last say it was an extra superâ€"special. There was a large gathering of children and a great many grownâ€"ups and all, irrespective of age or anything else had a very happy time indeed. Santa Claus presented himâ€" self to the happy gathering and there was a present for every child. More than that, the presents were especially good in every way. The Cornish Club has mads a point each year of the quality of the gifts on their Christmas tree, but this year they exceiled then.â€" selves. Supper was served t> the youngsters, while fruit, candy, etc., was also distributed freely. The ysungsters had a wonderful time, enjoying the event from the first minute to the last. The children from the C.AS. Shelter were the guests of the Cornish Club cr the evening and they can not find superlatives enough to express the zreat time they enjoyed. The Christmas tree of the Daughâ€" ters of England was held on Saturday evening in the Hollinger hall and provâ€" ed a very enjoyable event. There wore presents for all, a happy time for all, and the best of good wishes for all from DAUGHTERS OF ENGLAND CHRISTMAS TREE SATURDAY Matheson.

A fsature of interest to radio fans as well as the people in general in this North was the radio brordcast Friday afternoon from St. Anthony‘s church. Th> Canadian General Electric Co, broadcasting equipment was he>re for the Charity Turkey Stag Friday evenâ€" ing and in the afternoon it was set up in the church by Mr. Henry Millar so that the organ recital and some other features might be broadcasted. Ths little prozramme presented from church proved to be very popular among radio fans in the North Land. Many in Timmins, Schumacher an? south Forcupine and other places in the district were @ble to pick up the broadcast, while Sudbury and points south also were able to listen in. All enjoyed the fea‘ures, the reception beâ€" inz good and many radio owners reâ€" ceiving the broadcast so clearly and plainly that they were able to place the names of those speaking though they had missed the announcement. Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman, of the Church of the Nativity, spoke first over the radio, outlining in very effective and pleasâ€" After the broadcasting of the feaâ€" tures noted the radio equipment was taken to the parish hall for the broadâ€" cast of the programme of the Charity Turkey Stag. HORSE IN GARLOAD FRO ThE WEST HAD BB Removed from Car Here by the Auâ€" thorities, and Had to be Shot Later on Account of Its Condition. Complaint was made to theâ€"police at an early hour last Thursday morning that there was a horse in an open car in the station yards and tha‘t the aniâ€" mal appeared ito be suffering from a broken leg as well as being in imminâ€" ent danger of death from freezing. The complaint was made by some men who passed through the yards and notâ€" ed the sufferings of the animal. The policz at once investigated and found that ithe carload of horses had been shipped from the West consigned <to the shipper‘s own address, but tha he had arranged with a local man to unâ€" lcad the animals here as soon as they arrived. This lozcal man was roused from sleep and he explained that the animal had nct been removed from the car because the horse had apparently been injured in transit and could no! be accepted for this reason. The local man deniecd responsibility for attention > the animal. The staition agen‘ was then called from bed by the police and ‘hough he knew nothing about the matter, said that the animal could nsot be left in the car to suffer no maitt>r who might be to blame. He assisted the police in removing it from th> car and taking it to a nearby livery stable for the balance of the night hours. In the morning a veterinary was secured to view the animal and see if anything further could be done. The animal had been made as compon:able as posâ€" sible during its stay in the livery stable umtil a veterinary could be secured. The veterinary found tha‘t the animal was suffering from aâ€"broken hind leg, the break being near the stifle. It is thought that the injury was due perâ€" haps to a kick from one of the other animals in the car from the West. The veterinary found the animal so badly damaged and in such conditicn that it was considered the most humane way to shsot the pror horse and so put it sut of misery. in open cars. It is argued that the animals are so accustomed to cold and expasure cn the prairies that they sufâ€" fer no serious inconvenience from traâ€" velling in open cars. The case on Thursday morning last would seam to suggest that this is not the case as the injured animal appeared to suffor seriâ€" ously from the cold and to be on the verge of freezing to death by painful degrees. Some form of protection from kicks and other possible injurie: might be desirable in the way of roomy stalls It is a matter that the Humane Society might well consider. The incident would seem to suggest the desirability of avoiding in future the shipment of horses from the Wes: The Kiwanis Club, Sault Ste. Marie, netted more than $600 at a midnight show recently. The money so derived is to be used for dispensing Christmas cheer. o Charles Marchand and His Habitant Troubadours Mak Big Hit. So Do the Four Jacks. Stag Prches f Great Succeess.

Many Special Features al This Year‘s Charity Stag The programms at this year‘s Chariâ€" ty Turkey Staz held in the S}. Arâ€" thony‘s parish hall on Friday evening last was a good one and won considerâ€" able favour. A special feature was the broadcasting of the musical part of thne prozramme. The Canadian General Electric broadcasting equipment was used, with Mr. Henry Miller in charge. Mr. J. Stewart, of Montreal, acted as annsuncer. H. M. Wilson, of South Porcupinge, also did some,of broadâ€" sacting and announcing. An outstanding feature of the proâ€" gramme was the Turkey Stag orchestra whose music was especially pleasing and harmonious, This orchestra inâ€" cluded:â€"Tommy Stephens, saxaphons: R. H. Farr, drums; Jas. Fera, guitar; Jas. Ormstcn, piano; Tony Aquino, violin; G. G. Ribout, banjo; Birrall Bell, violin. The orchestra played oliâ€" time favourites in very clever and pleasing way. Another special for the evening was the singing of the "Four Jacks" in Christmas carols. These were fins numbers @all being unusually plewxin2 The ‘"Four Jacks‘" were Messrs Snow, Jago, Major and W. S. Johns. The leading feature of the even‘ ng was the noted Charles Marchanmd and his Habitant Troubadours. They sang English and French songs in a way that put new life in them. The oiA shanty songs and songs of the wosds and the river were featured, and the ability of this group of four vocalists with their instructor in charge was a general treat. While only a few selecâ€" tions were given by Chas. Marchand and his Habitant Troubadours, these were greatly enjoyed and appreciated.

Free doughnuts and coffee were servâ€" ed to the crowd and groatly enjoyed, as were also the smokes for all. The famous game of "Gimme" as usual, had a immense run.. Cards were enjoyed, including bridge, five hundred, and cribbags. There was a big turker for each table for the prize winner at cards. The display of turkeys for the ocâ€" casion was also noteworthy.

The chief spotited him on Satâ€" urday and placed him under arrest. He made no resistance and appeared to be ready to go quietly until passing near a lane he made a sudden dash for liberty. The chief gave him a spsedy chase, but Berthier had a stant and was a speedy runner. He dashed over fences, through yards and langss nqg" doubled here and there.

Trapped $300 Worth of Fur in Night Hawk Area There is a general opinion that furâ€" bearing animals are about gone from this district. Certainly they are much less plentiful than they used to be. Last year they were scarce, indeed, but it would appear there are a few more of them this year. A gentleman was in this week from the Night Hawk area and he had with him a nice disâ€" play of fine furs trapped in the Night Hawk district. The worth of the furs totalled well over $300.00 in the marâ€" ket toâ€"day. The catch included mirk, fisher and fox; some of the specimens being especially good.
