Brer Irwin of the Durham Chronicle in a short writeup of the Toronto exhibi- tion, says : Has Canada, with all her apparent indiflereuce, a reverence for sacred things? Are Canadians :kt heart ii truly loyal and religious people .' To see every individual of the ten or fifteen thousand on the grand St ind rise up as one man when the doxology, led by the cathedral choir cf old Westminster was sung, is a sight to be long remembered. At the regular meeting t.f Prince -Arth- ur Lodge on Friday evening last a resol- ution of condolence was adopted extend- ing the sympathy of tlie lodge to Very Worshipful Bro. M.. K. Kichardson in his bereavement by the death of his esteemed wife. Degrees wore coufened on three members, two of whom are at Citmp Borden and expect to go overseas Boon.

The fishing season closing on Sept. 15 has been a very satisfactory one to the sports of this district, who have made some phenomenal catches in the old Beaver. The trout appear to thrive wonderfully well on the new feeding beds formed by the hydro development, and seventeen inch trout were ijuite common in the catches this summei. The Advance has to thank Mr. R. Clark of Roci Mills, an expert with line and rod, for three r2-inch and one 13-inch trout â€" royal beautiesâ€" captured with others last week. At the monthly meeting of the W.M.S. :md Ladies' Aid of Cbalmer's church held at the 5Iau8e last week the former packed their annual bale of quilts and clothing, (value 130.) to be .-sent through the Pres- byterial to one of the missions lu the ^orthwesl.

Five dollars .ilso given towards replenishing the minister's library, which, together with his other belongings, was destroyed. The ladies resolved to hold a sewing bee at the church on Wednesday afternoon this week to prepare clothing, etc., tot other needy sufferers by the tire. Mrs. McVicar served refreshments and a pleasant social lime was spent. The Late H.H.Miller [ From The Hanover Post.] "Mr. Miller has gone!" These few words as they .sped swiftly around town on Monday morning caused probably more general regret and sadness than has been occasioned by the passing of any other citizen since Hanover was a town. To those who had seen him only a few days before walking in his accust- omed brisk way around town, the annouu- oonient of his death seemed almost incre- dible. While never a very robust looking man, yet his nervous energy and virile, wiry constitution were such that he was probably the last man in town one would expect to pa.ss so <[uickly. H. H. Miller was known by everyone in Uanover,prob- ably Dy nearly everyone in the district and to quite an extent throughout Ontar- io and Canada, but no one outside of his native Icwu knows just how much he will be missed hereâ€" and while it is said that everyone's place can be filled â€" yet at this distance it t.eeius as though it will be a long, loug while before H. H. Miller's place will be filled in this town in the public spiiitcd, aggressive, courageous, open-handed and affectionate way that he filled it. He took suddenly ill on Tuesday aftcr- uooD, and while suffering considerable pain acted as a pall bearer for the late Mr. George HuUinger. After the funer- al he went home and went to bed, and that night suffered greatly, the cause being obstruction uf the bowel, kn op- eration was decided upon and took place on Thursday night. Dr. Cotton of Toron- to pertormed the operation, assisted by Dr. Tayor of Hanover and Dr. Hall uf Walkerton. The operation was apparen- tly successful, but he did not have suffic- ienc vitality to pull through. Mr.Miller's death was probably due to overwork. We understand that the operation, while of a serious nature, was not generally fatal in a man of normal health and strength. Mr. Miller was a man careful in his hab- its and frugal in his tastes, but be had one mania â€" work; his passion fur wanting to keep his lingers on all the keys contin- ually would seem to have been his undo- ing. He bad u large office business and I was entrusted with the affairs of many people; many of his clients were widows whose att'airs he gave a particularly pers- onal attention to. -Vnd then there was politics. In a close riding everything courted, and he was at the beck and call of everybody. Between business and politics he had used up all his reserve energy, and in a critical time his hear' wasn't strong enough to stand the strain. While after the operation the best results were hoped for, it was seen Sunday night that be was sinking, and at 10 o'clock on Monday morning he "crossed the bar." Deceased was born on /an. 10, IStil, in Owen Sound, and was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Miller, His lather still resides at Owen Sound at the age of 80 years. He came to Hanover with Mrs. Miller in Jan. 1884 shortly after their marriage. Of splendid mental ability, his advice was sought by clients from the whole district, and while he never had a lawyer's training his wide reading and experience enabled him to give advice and straighten out tangles that would otherwise have gone to law- yers. As he prospered he invested a great deal of his money in local industrial enterprises. In this way there was really no better citizen than Miller. He was a director and shareholder of The Kuechtel Furniture Co , The Spiesz Furniture Co., The Kncchtel Kitchen Cabinet Co., and other local oncerns. He also held a large amount of western firm land.s, besides other securities, and was easily one of Hanover's wealthiest citizens. He had a natural acumen for public life, and while iiuite young he bagaii to take a keen and active interest in politics. He was a Liberal and strong party man always. He was a great reader, and developed early in life the art of public speaking While he hadn't the voice atid temperament o: an oiitor, ha had a remarkable facility of speech, a great readiness at repartee and acute reasoning powers that made him a power on the platform and he was much sought after as a speaker for political, religious and social affairs. He "stumped" the riding of South Grey with the late Senator Landerkin through several campaigns, and while still young was looked upon as Dr. . Landerkin's ablest lieutenant. .\fter Dr. Landerkin's death he received the Liberal nomination in South Grey, and in 11(04 he defeated by a good margin Mr. Charles McKinnon nf Durham for the Federal House. The Conservatives realizing that their best chance to defeat Mr. Miller lay in splitting the Hanover vote, in 1W8 brought out Mr. R. J . Ball who had been lefoio the public in a municipal cnpicity for some years. The contest was a keen one and Mr. Miller was again elected, though not by a very large majority. In 19U Miller and Ba'l were again opponents, and this time BiiU captured the riding, also by a small maj- ority. At the lime of his death Mr. Miller was again the candidate for the next general election, and a gallant finht was looked for. While a member of the House of Commons Mr. Miller was :he same indefatigable worker that he was in his private business, and he was close in appreciation and regard to his leader. Sir Wilfred Laurier. He was spoken of nuny times for Cibi^zet prefer'uent, and had the Laurier Government and Miller retained power no doubt sooner or later his claims would have been recognized. The Miller racing bill which limits race meets to t wo weeks was one of the tang- ible results of his presence in the House. The late Mr. Miller was a real sports- man in the fairness of his outlook upon life -but he was no "sport." .\thlctici, racing, rtihing or motoriua had no attrac- tion for him. His one diversion from the steady grind of the olhce was f.irming and the love of horse.n. The finest motor car did not appeal to him like a horse, and though he drove a car in connection with eleccioneerinj, he used it to get to a given plice in a hurry. In fact the story is told that he took so little inter- est in motor* and how to run them that hi* friends never felt safe in driving with him. He was fond of a saddle horse and enjoyed nothing better than a cancer through the countiy. The late Mr. Miller wa,s v.i astute busine,ss in;in, aiul a stioug believer in aiv'jrtising both in his business life and f). F. G. KARSTEDT, KARSTEDT BROS.
