PATERSON‘S . Ne t oi y nose, Phs THE SOLIDARITY That a bank of importance in Can ada could become insolvent, and .ye! the depositors of the bank not become losers is certainly‘ a matter for con gratulation as well as one ealculated to strengthen the faith of every on« in the banking system of this coun try. Anyone unacquainted with th situation created by the Ba.king Act and our general financial ‘condition might think that the collapse of on« bank would only remove a rival from the path of the others. If the bank of the country aeted on the sam« principle as a great many other riva) business institutions would under sim ilar circumstances they might be exâ€" pected to stand aside and pick u; what they could out of the wreckage. The banking institutions of Canada, however, are in a measure bound toâ€" gether, â€"so that one cannot collaps without injury to the others. The Americans might learn valuable lessons from the Canadians respectâ€" ing the laws which guarantce solidarâ€" ity in the money institutions ‘of thi: country. + wâ€"w"’-“ David Bean Proprietor The taking over of the Ontario Bank, when in the throes of financial dissolution, by the Bank of Montreal, backed by a two million and a half guarantee, joined in by other. banks illustrates the solid basis upon which the banking system of this country is founded. It shows quite plainly that the laws which govern the financia‘ institutions â€" of _ the Dominion _ are framed so as to inspire the confidence of those who find it necessary 10 transact business with them. For instance the note circulation of all the banks is guaranteed by all th banks; and the day upon which a ban! fails, its notes begin to gear interesi so ‘that their value posifively be comes enhanced every day after the failure. In more ways than one it is not to the interest of the other bank: io have an opposition bank _ make shipwreck on its financial voyage; an the consequence is that, when one is in danger we see the willingness 0 the others to come to the rescue. BRITAIN‘S TRADE SUPREMACY In these days of progress and ad vancement no nation can hold a pro minent position without active . ef fort. Britain has been able .to hole her own as a manufacturing centr« for centuries but the task is not a easy as it has been. The recent publication of the ‘Gerâ€" man _ Annual, which corresponds to the British Statistieal Abstract, o1 our own Canadian Year Book, affords an opportunity to study the latest phases of German development and to compare her progress with that (0. Great Britain. It must be confessed at the outset that from a British standpoint the comparisons are disâ€" appointing. In the first place â€" Gerâ€" many, in respect of population, has become the first of the highly civilizâ€" ed states in Europe. During the past fifteen years her population has grown from fortyâ€"nire millions to upward of sixty millions, while that of the United Kingdom bas increased from thirtyâ€"seven millions to a little over fortyâ€"three millions. _ ‘Thus the Gerâ€" man growth has been practically douâ€" ble that of Great Britain. At the preâ€" sent time the German population is growing at the rate of 900,000 souls per annum, while the growth in Great Britain is only 400,000 souls yearly Of course, when making comparisons bet wren these two countries, we must take into consideration Britain‘s colâ€" onial policy _ and wonderful colomial increase, . of which Canada | furnishes a bright illustration, and which . at once places her in advance of all naâ€" tions. Ignatins _ Albrecht, aged 230 years, an inmate of the House of Refuge, died of convalsions on Thursday. Anotber â€" indication of the rapidly increasing resources of the Kaiser‘s subjects can be found in the savings banks which have increased in fifteen Â¥ears â€" from $820,000,000 to $1,910,â€" 000,000, while the increase in Britain has only been from $550,000 â€"to _ a shade under $1,.006,000,000, The natural consequence of such an increase in population is a largely inâ€" creased bome market from which the foreign competitor has been â€" almost absolutely excluded. In 1890 Britain had by far the, adâ€" vantage as far as quantity was conâ€" cerned in the manufacture of iron, but in 1905 _ Germany . manufactured â€"alâ€" most cleven million tons, while the production of _ the Mother Country was a shade undet ten million tons. ®_ comen@hind infi rotasdycionbor 3 _ was drawn by Mrs. THEY WILL ~CUVRE Burlington, Ontario. & Wnn i annreprnrenthved en "ave in stt Irciinthc ns of the macous goessces. .

Interesting Cases will be Heard by His Lordship Chancellor The Fall Assizes of the High Court of justice opened in Berlin on Tuesday afternoon at one O‘clock, in the new court room, before His Lordâ€" ship Chancellor Boyd. There are five cases on the docker and it is protable that the Court will be in session the greater portion of the week. The first case to be heard is an a¢â€" tion for damages for seduction transâ€" fervred by order of Master in Chambâ€" ers Cartwright, from Bramptén . to Berlin. William Gambell, father of the seduced girl, is the plaintiff, and Robâ€" ert E. Heggie is the plaintif, An inâ€" teresting feature in connection with this case is that it hias been heard three times in couft and the jury disâ€" agreed each time, and it is for this reason that the action will be heard in Berlin. The lasc time the case was in progress for three days. Mr. E. F. B. Johnston will act for the defendâ€" ant, and it is not knownr as yet who will appear for the plaintiff. At the last trial His Lordship Justice Mabee {ormerly of Stratford was acting. Another: interesting case. will be that of Doolittle vs. the Berlin Furâ€" niture Company. In this action 8. L. Doolittle, who was furniture designer for the defendant firm, and, had four angers of his left band cut off by a ireular saw in the factory last June, which it is claimed was not guarded ay a splitter or guard, seeks unstatâ€" »d damages.

FALL ASSIZES Chicago, Oct. 19.â€"A "gift of tonâ€" ues‘ or the sudden and apparently miraculous ability to talk in a lanâ€" guage before unknown to the wor shipper, is the latest phase of the garham apostolic movement at Zion ity. f Grant had barely (taken his sceat when another c:nvert, James 1 ang, arose and talked in Chinose. When the remarkable report reached the outer world and enquiry was made, it was learnedâ€" that the "gift of. tongues" is considered by Parham as a pentocostâ€" al visitation. Of the twentyâ€"four perâ€" sons who are said to fhave bern seised with any sudden ability to tals ° im other lamzuages than their own, some have spoken German, Frerch, Halian, Russian, Spanish, ard a few Nor wegian,. = In no instance, it is said, has the subject possesscd any previous ‘nowâ€" ledge of the language "sent to him." Nor has he any chofce in th> matter, The German and the French spoken in the meeting by perscns of Ameriâ€" can birth is said by those who have a knowledge of those languages to be the real article. _ None were present last night who had made a study of the Chinese tongue, or who could tell what either Grant or Lang . was speaking about, but what they siid had all the characteristics of laundry talk. Th« fervor aroused at the Parham moctings is said by those who have attended _ to surpass the oldâ€"time camp meetings or the gatherinis at which the circuit riders stirred _ the people to get the "power." â€" Voliva has been much concerned by the in roads made upon his fock by Parham.
