United *Brethren and Congre:, gationalists are Coming ' Closer Together. ARE DISCUSSING WELLESLEY TOWNSHIP ‘CHURCH UNION COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Sherkston, Oct. 6.â€"The annual comâ€" ; ference of the United Brethren conâ€" tluded the business part of their four days‘ conference toâ€"day. The introducâ€" tory sermon was preached on Wednesâ€" | day evening by Rev. J. W. Schofield of Sheffield. _ ‘The following motning Bishop Mills, D. D., LL.D., delivered : the morning address cn a ecnaracterisâ€" | _ ic sketch of St. Francis of Assisi,.! Rev. W. A. Robbins, presiding elder, submitted th: annual report, which foreshadowéd favorably the proposed union with the Congregationalists. The delegates from the latter body were Revs, J. P. Geggie of Stratford and W. T. Gunn, who delivered two of the evening conference sermons. The report on church union showed the agreement of the committees of both bodies in maintaining the idenâ€" ‘tity of the United Brethren as the United Brethren Association of Conâ€" gregational Churches. Their itineracy will also be recognized, which allows the pastoral term to be of unlimited length, subject to the mutual agreeâ€" ment of minister and: people. The principle of superintendency will also be maintained. The body will adminâ€" ister their own benevolences, but will use the privileges of the Congregaâ€" tional College and publications. . The Congregational Union, on the other hand, have voted to receive the minâ€" isters and churches of the United Brethren denominatton into full memâ€" bership immediately on the decision of the ‘conference for union. It may be added that a plebiscite of the people was taken some time ago, which resulted in an almost unâ€" animous verdict for union. The only difficulty which confronted the _ conâ€" ference was a question of property. A committee consisting of Rev. W. A. Robbins and Dr. Brewster were â€" apâ€" pointed to secure legal advice on the matter, and. should it be necessary legislation will be asked for to proâ€" tect church edifices, parsonages and other property against possible disâ€" pute as to ownership,. An interesting feature of the conâ€" ference was the presence of Rev. Walâ€" ter T.> Currie, ‘Toronto, Congregaâ€" tional missionary at Chisambra, Afâ€" rica, who lectured on his work in the dark continent. 1t 1s believed that the Tnited Brethren churches will | turn their interest to Mr. Curric‘s misâ€" sion. HMis reception at the conference was most hearty and cnthusiastic, and did much to strengthen the bonds of union. The presence of Bishop Mills also gave force to this movement, which after all had its origin in the negotiations now in progress in the United States for the union of Conâ€" gregationalists, United Brethren and Methodist Protestants, where the Bishop is a prominent leader. In Canada there are already several inâ€" stances of rural Congregational _ and United Brethren churches, which are near cnough to one another, coming under the one pastorate:.

B Cowan, Provincial Superin®endent of Horticultural Soâ€" cieties, showing how the various horâ€" ticultural societies of the province are likely to be affected by the new Act governing horticultural societics, which was passed at the recent sesâ€" sion of the Cntario Legislature, and which will come into effect th» first of next year. This statement shows that, owing to the fact that the grant to horticultural socicties . has been increased by $1,500, most ci the ten societies in the province will reâ€" ceive an increased grant. Only atbout ten societies will have their grants reduced to any considerable extent. "These include the societies at Bran:â€" ford, Cardinal, Stirling, Descronto, Belleville, _ Napanee, _ Cobourg and Brampton. In each of these cases the society mentioncd has been receiving larger grants in the past than most 6of the other societies in the province which accounts for the decrease in their grants. All four city societics, includ.nz those at Ottawa, London, Toronto _ and~ Mamilton, will have their grants greatly increased. . The grant to the Toronto soviety will be increased $183, making a total grant of $323. The grant to the Ottawa sociecty â€" will be imcreased by $254, making a total of $6014. The increase in the grant to the Londen society will amount to $154, making a total grant to that society of $294. Hamâ€" ilton will benefit not quite as much as the others, their increase being just $92, making a total grant of §112. A considerable number of the hortiâ€" tural societies in the province will reâ€" vrive a large increase in their grants; those which will receive increases of %25 and over. and the amountsâ€"of the imereases they will receive, are . the following: Walkerton $238, Kincardine £i1, Chosley $59, Windsor $115, Durâ€" him £29, Seaforth $61, Smith‘s Falls $39, Strathroy $57, Woodstock $15, Orillia $33, Collinzwood $64, Waterâ€" loo £30, Clifford $114, Dara $27, Paisâ€" ley $55, Aylmer $119, Owen Sound $31,.

SCHOOL GIRL ‘Twelve Year Old Maiden Comâ€" ‘mits Suicide in Presence of Windsor, Oct. 8.â€"Bessie Gerardy, aged 12, a scho,l girl, who wont with her family to Owosso, Mich , a year ago, from Port Hope, Cnt., commitâ€" ted suicide by taking poison this morning, in the prescace of four of her little schoolmates, at the pumpâ€" house of the country school in Vinâ€" ice. "I am tired .of life. 1 want to die. I have taken poison!" she shoutâ€" ed to her teacher, Miss Beulah Wilcox as she ren into the schoolrcom:after swallowing th> poison, pursued. by her schoolmates, whom sthe had told of her deed. A doctor was called, but as he had to come about nin: miles, the child was dead when h> arrived. That the child of 12 years should conceive and carry out a plan of suiâ€". cide is alone attributed to the rudâ€"l inz of sensational novels. It is believâ€" ed that the jurid story of a suicide in a trathy novel which fell into herl hands had an indelible influence cn her mind. Several weeks ago the child told her mother when surprised. while searching through thr medicine chest at home that she was tired ol life, ard intended to commit sulcide,‘ ‘The only: poison in the house was A bottle of nux vomica.This was hidâ€" don by the mother where it was thught the child could not fnd it, but she did find it. Just: before school opened this morning the child had apparently been in the best of syirits. _ Children were playing ncar the pumphouse, when suddonly little Bessic pulled out a bottle labelcd ‘‘Poisom."" She pointed at the label, and said to her girl chums: "This is voiscn. I am going to take it and kill mysel{, as I am tired of life." As she talked she poured the contents of the bottle into a halfâ€"filled cup of water, and before the children could realize what she was about to do, she bad swallowed it. Then _ she screamed and the children joined her as she raced to "tell teacher." She was a child of more than ordinary brightness. Her fathor is Richard Gerardy, a wealthy farmer. DUNKIRK ~BARBER PUTS A PATRON TO SLEEP Dunkirk, Oct. 8.â€"A practical joke perpetrated Saturday night upon i‘mil Wenge, a wellâ€"known resident of East Second street, by Christian Schmidt, a barber, had a serious endâ€" ing for the former. ‘The men have been close friends for a number of years «nd each is in his vlement when he can get a good joke off at the other‘s expense. When Wenge climbed into Schmidt‘s chair at the latter‘s barber shop, after a longâ€" wait, made lively by goodâ€"naturâ€" ced raillery, a warm reception was on top for him. Schmidt moistened a finâ€" ger with formaldehyde, â€" a powerful chemical commonly used for disinfectâ€" ing purposes, and rubbed it thoroughâ€" ly under Wenge‘s nose. _ The latter gave a few loud gasps, made a partly successful effort to arise, then sank backâ€"in the chair and stiffencd out. As the minutes passed and the man still remained apparently lifeless, the barber became frightened and tranâ€" tically tried to revive him. He finalâ€" ly succeeded partially and as soon as Mr. Wenge could walk, Schmidt asâ€" sisted him home. Upon arriving there Wenge lay down on a couch and imâ€" mediately went again into an uncenâ€" scious state. Dr. Drainc was called and worked over him for nearly an hour before he could bring him â€" to consciousness. Their Chief Advantages and Disadâ€" vantages Here Set Forth, It is a common subject for jest that: no â€" Angloâ€"Saxon organization can! meet without having an ‘"annual dinâ€" ner.‘‘ Still there is a good deal to be said im favor of this hoary headed: custom, for it preserves social interâ€" course and makes men better acâ€" quainted. The only really serious arâ€" gument against such a "function" is that it preserves that crazy â€" song: which insists with unnecessary . and dreary iteration that some person of very ordinary capabilities is a jolly good fellow. One of the most notable of annual dinners is that of the Manâ€" ufacturers‘ Association. This yeat it was held in the Royal Alexandra Hoâ€" tel in Winripeg. The "setting" was sumptuous, and so was the fare. _ It was thoroughly in character therefore for a Gourlay Piano, of Sheraton deâ€" sign, to stand at the head of the banâ€" quetting hall. The delegates to the convention were delighted with the beauty of the case which preserved in admirable style the graces of Shoraâ€" ton art, while the richness of the tone awakenced great enthusiasm. One of the members of the association was so pleased with the instrument that a day or two after the banquet he visited the Winnipeg wartrooms of Messrs. Gourlay, Winter and Leeming and bought it. Certainly he will have no reason to repent of his bargain. The following interesting item . apâ€" pears in this week‘s Paris Starâ€" Transcript: 1 The piano recital given in the Y. M. C.
