so is Hon.John Bourinot, C.M.G., LL.D., Litt.D., who at that time and for many years previously was Clerk of the House.Hon.James Sutherland (the confidant and intimate friend of the Premier) has also passed beyond the vail, and old Parliamentarians will remember the pathetic scene that occurred on the floor of the House of Commons when Sir Wilfrid, unable to suppress his emotion, broke down in his attempt to communicate the sad intelligence to the members present.This scene was a replica in many respects of that which took place when the late Sir John Macdonald announced the death of the late Thomas White, his colleague and friend of many years.Among the prominent faces in the illustration may be noticed those of Hon.Wm.Mulock, then Postmaster-General (now Sir William Mulock, and Chief Justice of the Exchequer Court of Ontario); Hon.Clifford Sifton, then Minister of the Interior; Hon.Sir Richard Cartwright, Minister of Trade and Commerce; Hon.Sir Henri G.Joly de Lotbiniere, then Controller of Inland Revenue (afterwards Lieut.-Governor of British Columbia); Hon.W.8.Fielding, Minister of Finance; Hon.Sydney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture; Hon.Charles Fitzpatrick, then Solicitor-General (afterwards Minister of Justice, and now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada);

Mr.Peter Macdonald, M.P.for East Huron (afterwards Deputy-Speaker, and now out of Parliament); Mr.Joseph Hormisdas Legris, M.P.for Maskinonge (now a Senator); Mr.Thomas Fortin, M.P.for Laval (now a judge of the Superior Court of the Province of Quebec); Mr.Thomas B.Flint, M.P.for Yarmouth (now Clerk of the House); Mr.P.A.Choquette, M.P.for Montmagny( afterwards a judge, now a Senator); Mr.Raymond Prefontaine, M.P.for Maisonneuve (afterwards Minister of Marine and Fisheries, now dead); Mr.B.M.Britton, M.P.for Kingston (now a judge); Mr.Benjamin Russell, M.P.for Halifax (now a judge); Mr.N.A, Belcourt, M.P.for Ottawa City (afterwards Speaker of the House of Commons); the Hon.Wm.W.B.McInnes, M.P.for Nanaimo (afterwards Commissioner for the Yukon); Mr.J.Henri Bourassa, M.P.for Labelle.The foregoing may be seen on the Government side of the House, in the seats around and in rear of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.The empty chair on the latter's right was occupied at that Session of Parliament by Hon.Louis Davies, then Minister of Marine and Fisheries (afterwards Sir Louis Davies, and now a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada).The chair in which Sir Wilfrid sits was formerly occupied by the great Conservative chieftain, the Right Hon.Sir John A.Macdonald.On the Opposition side of the House may be noticed Hon.Sir Charles Tupper, Bart., an ex-Premier of Canada (now in private life);

which interfere with rights of pro- perty\u2014are first considered.But the proceedings are formal, and devoid of interest.Petitions are also presented to the House at this stage of the sitting.A Member rises in his place, and stating that he has a petition to present, reads a brief summary of its purport.It invariably ends with the phrase, \u201cAnd your Petitioners will ever pray, etc.\u201d No one has ever seen the sentence completed.What, then, can \u201cete.\u201d imply?It seems a slovenly way of completing one\u2019s prayers.One is reminded of the backswoodsman, who chalked up his

sentiments.\u201d \u201cWill the honorable gentleman bring it up?\u2019 says the Speaker, referring, of course, to the petition.The Member walks up the floor and drops the roll into the yawning mouth of a big black bag, hanging at the back of the Chair.More often there is no public mention whatever of the petition in the House.The Member to whom it is Ministers before the House proceeds to

black bag petitions may be said to drop out of sight and out of mind.It is true that their presentation is recorded in the Journals of the House.But they make no impression whatever on the minds of Members in regard to the grievances they are intended to ventilate, or the administrative evils they are expected to remove; and they are heard of no more, except the Committee on Petitions, before whom, in due course, they come for scrutiny, find that some of the regulations have been violated\u2014that, for instance, a portion of the petitions, instead of being in writing, is printed, or

must, of course, relate to some public affair with which he is officially concerned, or to a matter of administration for which he is responsible, But with these limitations a Member may interrogate a Minister on any subject, no matter how local or trivial, and insist upon the reply to it being read by the Minister at the table.The Minister, however, may decline to answer on the ground of public interest.This salutary rule prevents the unwarrantable interference of Members.in the most delicate functions of the executive which, if allowed, especially in foreign affairs, would be productive of confusion, and, perhaps, disaster.Questions of an urgent character, or of exceptional importance, may be asked without notice.But as a rule two or three days\u2019 notice is given in order that time may be afforded for the preparation of the replies.If an oral answer is desired in the House, the question must be marked with an asterisk.The replies to questions without this distinguishing mark are printed and circulated with the Votes and Proceedings.It is not, of course, the Ministers who discharge the task of looking up the information that is asked for.The questions are sent to the different State Departments, to whose heads they are addressed, and the answers are drafted by the permanent officials.| In most cases all the Minister has to do with the replies is to read them in the House of Commons.Each day\u2019s questions are printed, as I have said, in the \u201cOrders of the Day,\u201d with the names of the Members responsible for them.They are also numbered.The mode in which they are put in is this\u2014each Member rises in his place when called on, in succession, by the Speaker, and simply says: \u201cI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department question No.1\u201d; or, \u201cI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland question No.40.\u201d The Home Secretary looks up question No.1, or the Chief Secretary question No.40, in the bundle of typewritten answers supplied him by the clerks of his Department, and reads it in reply.BR RE BR Dates Back to Middle.Of 19th Century.The development of this practice of questioning Ministers in recent years has been very remarkable.It was not until the middle of the nineteenth century that it became an established feature of the proceedings of the House of Commons.In 1849 a special place was assigned to questions in the \u201cOrders of the Day.\u201d Before that year they were few in number; they referred mainly to the arrangement and progress of busi- ness, and were rarely printed.The first time a question appeared in the \u201cOrders of the Day\u201d was in 1835.But after 1849 questions were printed regularly in the \u201cOrders of the Day,\u201d and the subjects inquired about\u2014confined, previously, to pending legislation\u2014extend- ed gradually to public affairs and matters of administration.Still, it was rare to see more than twelve, or at the most twenty, questions on the paper for thirty years subsequently.In the Session of 1860 the number of questions asked was 699; in 1870, 1203; in 1880, 1546; and in 1890, 4407.In the present Session the questions occasionally exceed 120 per day.All this illustrates how this usage of interpellation, like other important elements in the working of the House of Comons, came almost imperceptibly and haphazardly into operation, and now rests immovably on the foundation of custom.Until 1880 it was the custom of Members to read every question when putting it to the Minister, although it was printed in the \u201cOrders of the Day.\u201d On July 8, 1880, after question time, Joseph Cowen called attention to the fact that two hours had been occupied in asking and answering questions.Yet the number of questions put that day was only thirty.The hon.Member added that, having taken the time of his watch, he In design it was quite different from the conventional arch At night the lanterns depending from the cross-bars were lighted, practice for may years for hon, Members, in putting questions, to read these questions, and it has been generally was only a month later that Mr, Fini- gan, a Nationalist Member, on reading a question, was received with loud cries of \u201cOrder!\u201d The Speaker was asked whe.mer it was not \u2018a great abuse of the rules of the House\u201d for the hon.Member to have read his question.\u201cThe matter is not so much one of order as of propriety,\u201d replied Mr.Speaker Brand.\u201cI consider that the hon.Member in reading the question of which he hag given notice was, strictly speaking, not out of order.With regard to the propriety of his doing so, I give no opinion.\u201d This was the last occasion a question appearing in the \u201cOrders of the Day\u201d was read on being put to the Minister.XR BR RE The Real Business Of the Sitting.Questions disposed of, the House comes to the real business of the sitting.At this stage of the proceedings leave may be asked for to move the adjournment of the House, but even if it be granted action is not immediately taken.The object of such a motion is to obtain from the Government an explanation of some act of commission - or omission on their part; of something which, in the opinion of the Opposition or any other section of the House, they have wrongly done or left undone.The matter complained of must be\u2014as the Standing Order says\u2014\u201ca definite matter of urgent public importance\u201d in the opinion of the Speaker, and must also have the concurrence of at least forty \u2014\u2014\u2014 VICE-ROYALTY AT THE PACIFIC COAST\u2014The new Parliament Buildings in Victoria, B.C., in front of which the Government and civic welcomes to Their

on the subject.\u201d From that day, however, the reading of questions was gradually discontinued; and questions were put simply by a reference to the number each bore in the \u201cOrders of the Day.\u201d It = Visitors to Montreal photographed in front of the Chateau de Ramezay, a place made historic by the fact that it was for many years the home of the French Governors-General of Canada.( WE.AE A.members, Therefore, when a member rises after questions and asks leave to move the adjournment of the House, stating at the same time the object of the motion, the Speaker, should he consider the matter definite and urgent, asks whether the hon.gentleman is suported by forty members.Immediately the associates of the member rise in their places, and if they muster forty, leave is granted, but the debate stands over until a quarter past eight o'clock.Forty members make a quorum, without which no business can be done, Then the Speaker rises and says: \u201cThe Clerk will now proceed to read the Orders of the Day,\u201d and the Clerk, with a copy of the Order Paper in his hand, reads the titlesof the first of the long list of Bills down for consideration.It is the second reading or the third reading stage, at which, on all great Bills, there is usually a big debate, Disraeli is said to have described the House of Commons as a dull place, with moments of emotion.In opinion, founded on twenty years\u2019 experience, it is impossible for thr House of Commons ever to be dull.Its moments of emotion are, indeed, many; and the largeness and vitality of the questions at issue there always redeems it from tediousness.For Disraeli\u2014as for most of those who have once breathed its intoxicating atmosphere\u2014it always had an absorbing charm.Joseph Gilles Big- gar lived in the House and for the House.Outside it he had no interest or amusement.I happened to be talking to hig in the Lobby during one dull sitting, when a colleague asked him whether he might go to a theatre for the evening.Biggar was then the Chief Whip of the Nationalist Party, and a stern martinet.\u201cTheatre!\u201d he exclaimed, contemptuously.\u201cThis is better than a theatre, Mister.It is all real here.\u201d Yet he was the man who, by the invention and use of obstruction, did most to outrage its time-honored and most cherished customs.The House of Commons is, indeed, an interesting place.It has an interest of the highest dramatie intensity on the occasion of a big debate on the chief political issue of the day, which deeply stirs Party passions and prejudices, and brings down into the arena of the floor the chiefs of the parties to fight for principle with the keen and subtle weapon of the tongue.\u201cMr.Speaker.\u201d So begins each Member who rises to address the House.Of all the speakers in the Chamber, Mr.Speaker speaks seldomest, and in the fewest words.The Speaker sits in his high canopied chair, not to talk, but to listen to talkers.Hours may pass and \u201corder, order,\u201d may be the only words spoken by Mr.Speaker.Yet it fs impossible to exaggerate the trying and arduous nature of the Speaker\u2019s duties, or the strain, mental and physical,

up at the moment that the gentlemen learned in the law concluded the slumberous presentation of their arguments.The atmosphere of the House of Commons is usually drowsy.Members may be seen asleep on the benches at all hours.Yet it is a remarkable fact that there is only one instance on record of a Speaker\u2014impassive figure though he be, in a big wig and a flowing gown, reclining in a large Chair under a spreading canopy\u2014having been caught nodding or napping.It was to Mr.Shaw Lefevre, the only Speaker over whom tired Nature asserted itself, and whose weighted lids, despite his

their feet, eager to join in the debate, each straining forward, or shaking his notes to attract the attention of Mr.Speaker.One and all remind you of the puppy who raises himself on his hind legs and wags his tail to solicit notice.The Speaker\u2019s selection of one from among these competitors to fix his wandering orb is careful and deliberate.If a Liberal is talking it is certain that a Conservative will talk next.The object of the Speaker is to secure that, as far as possible, every phase of opinion on the subject at issue shall find expression in the debate.Therefore it is that members on opposite sides, supporters, and opponents of the question, follow each other alternately throughout the discussion, the only exception to the rule being that should a Minister, or one of the leading occupants of the Front Opposition Bench, intervene at any stage, he has the right, more or less prescriptive, to be called on by the Speaker.XR XR XP Faculties Must be Always Wide

a big debate ,are surprising.During one speech the benches are crowded.During the next there is but a Member here and there amid the desert of green morocco.All the time Members are restlessly moving in and out of the Chamber.Indeed, the general inattention or indifference to ordinary speakers is very marked.The doors of the main entrance under the clock swing open and a Member, hat in hand, enters and stands at the Bar.One sentence of the speech that is being delivered suffices.Out he rushes again.Here and there on the benches a Member sits apart in a half-dreamy state, hig arms folded, his hat over his eyes, engrossed with his own thought, A good deal of babble is heard in the course of the debate.But it is not the babble of argument and contention, It is the babble of Members chatting and joking with each other, heedless of the honorable gentleman who is wrestling with his arguments, and to whom only the polite Mr.Speaker is attentive.A loud laugh is heard.Nothing could be more serious than the speech which is being addressed to the House.What then is the cause of this misplaced gaiety?A good story is being told in that group of Members yonder making merry among themselves, A few Members listen half abstractedly, with expressionless faces.There are some, however, whose attention is eagerly concentrated on the talker.They seem to hear, but not to heed.Not a gleam of sympathy is to be found in their looks.They are all on an edge to join in the debate.Some of them divide their feverish attention betweeen the talker, the clock, and their notes.Others are mumbling to themselves the favorite passages of their speeches.intended But will the opportunity of delivering these speeches come to them?Time is flying for these Members, impatiently on the pounce.The hon.gentleman on his legs has long ago exhausted all he really had to say, but does not know when to stop.\u2014Michael MacDonagh in The Monthly Review, Rr CREA TR EME LEE ge GE ig A

but from then on it is well if the father takes the matter in hand.For the little fellow, the sailor and Russian blouse suit remain the smartest models.For the young boy\u2014that is to say from six to ten years of age\u2014sailor suits of serges ete.are serviceable and in taste, although for boys of from eight years of age and upwards, Eton suits and Norfolk suits, with trousers of the same material are suitable.ER RR The Boy\u2019s Dress Begins to Change.From the tenth to the sixteenth year, a boy\u2019s dress begins to change until it reaches the point when he wears long trousers and coat eut from the same model as his father\u2019s.The boy under fifteen does not wear distinet evening clothes, but the short tuxedo coat.During his younger years, the boy\u2019s collar shapes differ somewhat from the man\u2019s, but later, not at all;

Beneath Great Victoria Monument on Parliament Hill » REAT DEVELOPMENT OF THE I.O.O0.F.\u2014 Canada this year, for the second time in its his- - tory, was the scene of tt the annual session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Oddfellows\u2014the supreme parliament of the Order.The session was held in the city of Toronto in September, and brought together upwards of 2000 members of the craft from every country on the American Continents, from every commonwealth in the United States, and from every province in Canada.Australasia, Europe, Great Britain, South Africa, and the islands of the sea were also represented.The most splendid incident associated with the encampment was the street parade, in which upwards of 15,- 000 Oddfellows participated.It was the biggest affair of its kind ever held in the Dominion.The illustration on this page shows a group of the delegates from Maine who attended the encampment, and who afterwards visited Ottawa.A few details of the annual session will be interesting.In accordance with custom, the Sunday prior to the opening of the Session was devoted to Divine Service, when the St.James\u2019 Cathedral was crowded with the Brethren and Sisters, each wearing the emblem of the Order.On Monday, the opening ceremony, in connection with the Session, was the public welcome extended, in the Legislative chamber of the Parliament Building, to the Sovereign Grand Lodge Officers, Representatives and visitors by Premier Whitney, of the Province of Ontario, Mayor Coatsworth of Toronto, and representatives of the Order.The Chamber, which Was crowded, every available space being occupied, presented a most unusual appearance\u2014for the | first time Tin its History foreign flags were displayed therein.RR RR ææ Cosmopolitan Character of the Decorations.Over the Speaker\u2019s dais two Union Jacks were draped, while the galleries displayed the flags of all the British Colonies and dependencies, interspersed with those of the United States, Peru, Chili, Cuba, Mexico, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany and France.The Premier welcomed the visitors with all possible warmth and cordiality to the first city of the first Province of the greatest outlying dependency of the British Empire, the greatest Empire of the world.Brother Mayor Coatsworth, and Alderman Graham, Chairman of the Civic Reception Committee, added their words of welcome; also Miss Robins, President of the R.A.of Ontario on behalf of that Branch; \u201cMr.W.S.Johnston, Grand Mas- \u201c ter of Ontario; and.J.Powley, G.P., of the Grand Encampment of Ontario, who gave a hearty welcome to this supreme legislature of the Order, on its return to Canadian soil after an interval of 26 years.Owing to the absence of Grand Sire Wright, Deputy Grand Sire Conway replied to the various addresses.He expressed pleasure at the warmth of the greeting extended, and though Canada and the United States were divided politically, he said, they were united through the work of the Order under one flag, the greatest flag in the world, that of Brotherly Love.The addresses of welcome and the response evoked much favorable comment and applause.On Wednesday afternoon oceur- red the Order\u2019s annual pageant, without which the publie would remain unimpressed with the dignity of this ancient fraternity.This great demonstration which the Order makes to the world gives evidence of great numerical strength and of the universal brotherhood bound together in Friendship, Love and Truth by the mystic three links.All Toronto turned out to witness this grand parade of more than 15,000 brethren marching in line.On Thursday afternoon the Representatives were the guests of His Honor Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs.Mortimer Clark, at a Garden Party at the Government House in honor of the Oddfellows conven- tion ; affair.On Friday evening, the civic reception at the City Hall was given in honor of the Sovereign Grand Lodge.For nearly two hours an immense throng of brethren, with their ladies passed through the Council Chamber, where acting Mayor Oliver and Mrs.Oliver extended their courtesies.At the close of the opening exercises on Monday the

East) on the 10th August, 1843, by the institution in Montreal of Prince of Wales Lodge, No.1.Its success was immediate, and so rapidly did the membership and lodges increase that a Grand Lodge of Canada was organized on November 16th, 1844, and a Grand Encampment of Canada on the 3rd September, 1845.So bright did the prospects appear for its continued prosperity that the R.W.Grand Lodge of the United States was petitioned to constitute the Canadas a sovereign jurisdiction.The petition was granted, and the Grand Lodge and Grand Encampment of Canada were amalgamated and became the R.W.Grand Lodge of British North America, by special charter the 3rd January, 1847.No longer subject to the parent body, but in full control of its legislative and other powers, the Order, instead of showing the rapid development promised and expected, began from this time to steadily decline, until 1853, when it \u2018\u2018ceased to have a name or existence in Canada East.\u201d Many attempts were made to revive the Order in this jurisdiction, but without success, until 1870, when, through the strenuous efforts of Bro.Geo.Varey, P.G., of Gore Lodge, Brantford, Ont, Mount Royal Lodge, No.1, was instituted, and the standard of Odd- fellowship, after being hid away for seventeen years, was once again unfurled to the breeze.On its second introduction into this Province the Order did not meet with the success which attended its first arrival twenty-seven years before.Its progress, however, if pot rapid, was steady, and in 1672 St.Lawrence Lodge, No.2, was instituted.2 RR RR When Other Well-known Lodges Were Formed.2 \u2014 In 1873, Mizpah Lodge, No.3, and in 1874 Duke of Edinburgh Lodge, No.4, were instituted.Montreal Encampment, No.1, was also instituted in 1874.The next Lodge instituted was Albert, No.2, in 1875, and Beaver Lodge, No.6, in 1877.All these lodges were located i in Montreal, but in 1877 a new departure was made, the limits were extended, and the first lodge instituted outside the city was Pioneer, No.7, at Richmond, and later, in the same year, Unity Lodge, No.8, at Sherbrooke.From the institution of Mount Royal Lodge, in 1870, until 1877, the jurisdiction was in charge of Bro.Varey, D.D.G.S.His untiring and unselfish efforts on behalf of the Order are remembered and appreciated, and Oddfellows must now look back over the difficulties and dissensions through which he brought the Order with the satisfaction that he did his duty\u2014and did it well.His sue- cessor as D.D.G.S.was Bro.J.C.Becket, who retained office until the formation of the Grand Lodge of Quebec.The standing of the Order in this jurisdiction on June 30, 1906, was 3,580 members, 44 Lodges and one Encampment ; the receipts, $35,852.86; and relief paid, $14,114.03.Early i in 1878 it was decided that the interests of the Order would be materially advanced by the establishment of a Grand Lodge, and the question being brought before the lodges in the Province, was approved.A petition was then presented to the Grand Lodge of the United States for a charter, and the same having been granted, the R.W.Grand Lodge of Quebec, 1.0.0.F., was instituted at a special meeting in Montreal on Wednesday afternoon, October 30th, 1878, by CI.T.Campbell, P.G.M.of Ontario, S.D.G.S., assisted by Bros.Wood and Fulford, of Brockville, Ont.Twenty-nine Past Grands were present and received the Grand Lodge Degree, the officers elected and installed being: M.W.G.M., Wales L.Lee, No.5: R.W.D.GM.W.Boutelle, No.8: R.W.GW.Lyon Silverman, No.1; R.W.GS.A.A.Murphy, No.4; RW.G.T.,

\u201chigh\u201d churches belonging to the Anglican communion in Canada.It is also the only Anglican church in Montreal where Morning © ana fivening Prayer are daily said (in conformity with the regulations of the Prayer Book), and where the Holy Bucharist is celebrated on every morning in the year with the exception of Good Friday and an occasional day in mid-summer.Its clergy, the Rev.Edmund Wood, the Rev.Arthur French, and the Rev.Reginald Ross, are faithful and devoted in the discharge of their priestly and parochial duties, and their love of service and faithful adherence to the rubrical directions of the Prayer Book and the usages of the church are well known to those who are intimate with them, The parish of St.John\u2019s extends from St.Lawrence Boulevard to Bleury street, and from Sherbrooke street to the river front, and it includes within its borders all sorts and conditions of men, from the moneyed financier to the A little girl at Cranham Lodge, Upmin- ster, Essex, Eng., who has requested The Standard to publish her picture.social outcast.The work of reclaiming the latter has long been a labor of love to the clergy of St.John\u2019s, and few Montrealers realize, because of the quiet and unobtrusive manner in which the work has been carried on, the wonderful measure of success which has attended the efforts of Mr.Wood and his assistants.Re RR RR The Personality of \u201cThe Rector.\u201d To his flock, the former is familiarly known as \u2018the rector,\u201d and he commands, to a remarkable degree, not only the respect, but the love, homage and devotion of his congregation.Indeed, there are few among those who know him best who do not reverence the lovable \u201cyoung\u201d man, ag Archbishop Bond once called him.To the outsider\u2014the wayfaring man \u2014the rector has been, times without number, a veritable friend in need, His charity has been unostentatious; but, nevertheless, it has been widespread.He has been known to give the rubbers off his feet, the coat off his back, and the last cent in hig pocket to poor unfortunates who needed them more than he.His life, indeed, has been a long and incessant struggle to better the conditions and ameliorate the sufferings of those who \u201cin this transitory world are in trouble, sorrow, need, sick- And he has been wonderfully blessed of God in | =.: \u2018i | edly waged war on the horrible dens of ness or any other adversity.\u201d his labors.The \u201crector\u201d is not what one would call an eloquent preacher; but there are few clergymen in this city who touch the vital realities of life with the same forcefulness as he does in the course of his weekly sermon.Few men, too, have a better knowledge of human nature than he, and few they are, therefore, who more successfully apply the gospel remedies to sin-sick souls, The \u201crector\u2019s\u201d sermons, lke his life and service, are benedictions in themselves, RR X% A \u201cMilitant Churchman\u201d Is the Rev.Mr.French, XR Of recent years, owing to the fitful condition of the rector\u2019s health, the brunt of the parish work has fallen on Cape Bonavista Lighthouse, Newfoundland.The promontory on which it is erected is situated in lat.48.42.01 north, and long.53.04.35 west.It was the first land sighted by John Cabot, the discoverer of the Continent of America.The lighthouse in the illustration is one of 75 which are maintained by the Newfoundland Government.Other lighthouses, and fog alarms, and buoys are at present under construction.- i I 1 the shoulders of the Rev.Arthur French, the hard-working and eloquent assistant priest at St.John\u2019s.Mr.French is a graduate of Oxford University, and he is what most people would term a \u201cmilitant churchman.\u201d His life, indeed, has been one continuous battle, ritual at St.John's so closely follows rubrical and canonical requirements.The Rev.Mr.Ross is a new-comer, and has yet to win his spurs.But he gives promise of becoming a faithful and efficient priest, RE RE RR Beauty of Interior Of St.John's, The interior of St.John\u2019s Church is quite unlike that of any other

sanctuary lights (presented to the church a few years since), and in front are the two \u201cstandards.\u201d The chancel organ fills an arch in the aisle on one side of the choir, while in a

civic authorities in the boundaries of his parish, and which were ruining tender boys and girls.And in almost every instance his battles for God and humanity were crowned with success, A few years ago he espoused the cause of a well-known clergyman of the diocese of Montreal, who, he thought, had been wrongfully inhibited and interdicted, and, in company with the Rev.Mr.Wood, offered that clergyman a spiritual home in the Church of St.John the Evangelist.And to-day he is battling for the eloquent diocesan who recently succeeded Archbishop Bond in the See of Montreal.To many who take not the trouble to look below the surface, it would seem as if the Rev.Mr.French, in refusing to render \u2018canonical obedience to Bishop Carmichael until such time as the latter's succession to the See of Montreal is made legal, was waging war against his diocesan.But, in reality, the reverend gentleman is doing a service to the Bishop, inasmuch as he would firmly seat His Lordship in his throne by settling once and for all the legality of the latter\u2019s election.As long as doubts exist with respect to the right of Bishop Carmichael to occupy the See of Montreal, just so long will the latter\u2019s tenure of the See be in jeopardy.Mr.French is one of the hardest worked clergymen in the city, and one of the most fearless as well as one of the most eloquent Anglican priests in Canada.He is thoroughly in earnest in whatever he undertakes, and to many this earnestness appears to be akin to violent passion.Such is not the case, however, as those who know the reverend gentleman best can testify.Both the rector and Mr.French are conservative churchmen, and {it is largely owing to this fact that the The most conspicuous object in the church, however, is the rood-screen, a combination of red and gray marble, red sand-stone,Caen stone and wrought iron.The Calvary group surmounting the screen was carved by Oberamma- gau peasants, the central figure (that of Christ) being the work of Meyer, who some years ago impersonated Christ at the decennial presentation of the famous Oberammagau Passion Play.This Calvary group was blessed and dedicated six years ago by His Lordship Bishop Hall, of Vermont.The pulpit of the church is somewhat unique, inasmuch as it is patterned after a famous Grecian pulpit, only differing from the latter in point of size, One of the

furnished by the Peary Arctic Club, of New York, was designed particularly for Arctic exploration.She cost about $100,000.The Roosevelt had a crew of twenty men and Captain Bartlett.The Roosevelt left Sydney, C.B.where she was joined by Commander Peary, on July 26.She was next reported at Dominion Run, Labrador, July 29, from which point she crossed to Greenland.The vessel next was heard from at

Sabine.From that point he hoped to make his actual journey to the Pole, a distance of 500 miles, across a desert of ice and snow.Thig final dash he expected to make in a month or six weeks from the time he left headquarters.AN ENGLISH M.P.IN HIS CANADIAN HOME\u2014The group includes Mr.Hamar Greenwood, M.P, for York City, Eng., Miss Gladys Greenwood, Mrs.E.C.Starr, and Miss Florence

heard of the Roosevelt by last July, friends of the Arctic explorer, who had expected a message of some kind in May or June, began to be worried at the long delay.This anxiety, however, was not shared by the members of the club, who then said they did not expect to hear from Peary until October or November.It The photograph was VICTOR HERBERT'S DISCOVERER.It was an obscure \u2019céllo player, in
