Chatham, Nov. 231.â€"At a joint meeting of the finance committees of the City Couneil and the Public School Board, held last evering, a startling disclosure was made in reâ€" fexence to the finances of the schcÂ¥l! board. It was announced that the beard has overran its estimates for the year, and thac unless the trusâ€" tees issue personal notes in order to advance money for maintenance â€" for the scheols, these institutions . will have to be closed up before the exâ€" piration of this term. At the first of the year the sehool board put in estimates to the counâ€"| cil for $19,000 for building and $21,â€" 000 for maintenance. They _ have lived within their figures for . mainâ€" tenance, but the building and imâ€" provement â€" accounts have excepded their estimates about $1,000. _ The money to pay these accounts for imâ€" provements has been taken from the maintenance allowance, and thus the trudtees are about $1,000 shy in their general account. It is stated that the building was more expenâ€" sive thar was expected, ard it is also claimed that the gencral inâ€" crease in the teachers‘ salarics hss a great deal If the trustees advance the moncy on persomal notes, they will have to trust to be refunded by the Board d Education next year. This, it is said, was not approved of ty thc! trustees presest at the mecting ‘andt:; ene of them is said to have made the ‘ statement that he would close up the: schools before he would advance a‘, cent of his own money. Ar order has been issued on both the schools, that no more supplies can te purâ€"| ehased this year without the . petâ€", sonal consent of the board. It will probably mean about $100 for sach of the trustecs. ' It is well known that the teachers are engaged by the year, and they sould come on the members of the board personally for their salarics whether schools keep: or not.

Byron H. Staufier of Buflalo, N. Y., a Canadian boy, born in Waterloo County, said that the old notion, prevalent in <the States, that the greater part of Canada was too far north for permanent settlement, was entirely exploded. * *"The history of the nations," said the speaker, "shows that every civâ€" ilization that has stayed huddled up close to the fireplace of the tropics has shriveled and died, but the race ‘that had gone toward the north, with fur cap and mits, to build its home, has found the warmth that has sustained and kept ablaze the fires of true national spirit. The powâ€" er of the old world is above the 45th paraliel _ of _ latitude, â€" which runs through â€" Bordeaux, Milan/t:lgrade and the Black Sea, leaving five great powers in the latitude of Canâ€" ada, with Paris, Berlin, Moscow, London, Brussels and St. Petersburg “urthrr north than Toronto, Montâ€" real or Winnipeg. The north border of Athabaska is on a line with Chrisâ€" tiana; . the north of Saskatchewan with Newcastle, England, and Copâ€" enhagen; and Toronto and St. Cathâ€" arines with Bayonne and Rome. The great wheat fiekds of the world, outâ€" side of the United States, are north of the 45th parallel. ' ‘"‘The question before Canadians toâ€"day is not how large an empire Canada shall be in a hundred years, but of what quality. _ The getâ€"richâ€" quick spirit infests nations as well as individuals, When quantity is too eagerly sought, quality is too apt to be forgotten. Should 1 express. the hope that this shall be a contented nation, a land of homes, temperance, lawâ€"observance and Sabbathâ€"kceeping, you might say impatiently, ‘All these things have we possessed from our youth.‘ True, and whether these characteristics shall continue to be the cornerstone of the national strucâ€" turc, depend@s upon the class of peoâ€" ple forming the population. . If the Canada of 1999 will be an Angloâ€" Saxon nation, the greatest problem of her destiny will have been solved. ~"The immigration â€" question, now sorely perplexing the United States, will soon loom up on Canada‘s horâ€" izon as her greatest concern. . One million aâ€" year enter the States, mostly Slavs or Latins, oneâ€"fourth unable to write or read their mother tongue; twoâ€"thirds without a trade. A million a year mcans an Ontario every 25 montbs, a Toronto every 60 days, a St. Catharines every three days, to assimilate into an organizaâ€" tion which already has 14,000,000 of foreignâ€"born and 40,000,000 of forâ€" cignâ€"born ‘parentage _ within _ her. bounds.

The future holds out the promise of a _ heterogencous America, controlled by those who revere no Sabbath, brook no abstinâ€" ence sentiments, have little respect for law and have no high political ideals. "An Angloâ€"Saxon Canadian cmpire should be the Canadian programme. Greed shoukl not te permitted .to frame the policy that decrees the quality of the blood of great grandâ€" children.

FOUND $15,000 Detroit, Nov. 22.â€"People who â€" atâ€" tended the auction sale of the houseâ€" hold effects of the late John Mullin, 235 Vinewood avenue, were astoundâ€" ed when $15,000 in gold was_discovâ€" ered carefully hidden beneath a carâ€" pet in one of the nedrooms. _ When news of the discovery spread an army of eager purchasers thronged the old homestead in the hope that they might bid in something that would reveal hidden gold. For many. years it was believed that the late John Mullin had hoardâ€" ed his money away in strange hiding places, and the people who attended the sale thought that even the most insignificant â€" articles of _ furniture might contain a fortune. The $15,000 that was discovered was turned over to the estate by the auctioncers, Kemberling & Bronson. The old mansion and surrounding lawns, standing at the corner of Vinewood ‘avenue and Lafayette bouâ€" levard, cover two acres of land â€" adâ€" joining the old Daniel Scotten resiâ€" denee, and is ore of the landmarks of Detroit. f Five hundred dollars was offered for the old clock, but it was retainâ€" ced by Mrs. H. H. Kuser, daughter of the deceased. Mr. Mullin fell from a chair while attempting to wind this clock, sustaining injurics resulting in his death Sept. 9 last. His history is one of considerable interest. Born in lreland, he came to this country in the carly ‘40s, setâ€" tling in Pittsburg, where he engaged in the scrap iron business. Later he purchased. the James Read _ rolling mill and the Eagle iron mill, kecomâ€" ing one of the foremost iron manuâ€" facturers in this country.

The news of the death of Miss Marisa Master, eldest daughter of the late Registrar Isaac Master, which took place on Wednesday afternoon at the Berlin & Waterloo Hospital, was heard with deep regret by a large circ.c of friends, many _ of whom were not aware that she was seriously ill. f The deceased was born on the old homestead in Blenheim and resided there until the family moved to Berâ€" lin about twelve years ago. She was an active Christian worker and took a deep interest in the welfare of Trinity Methodist church, of which she was a member. She is survived by her mother, two sisters and three brothers, who will have the sympaâ€" thy of a wide circle of _ friends in their somewhat sudden and . sad bereavement. ‘The deceased had been residing with her aged mother on Ellen street and was in pooer health for some months, suffering from an internal trouble. On Friday last she decided to undergo an operation, which was performed on Tuesday, and was of a very critical character, and _ finally resulted in her death. The funeral of the late Miss Maria Master took place from the family residence at Berlin on Fritay morr â€" ing, and was largely attended by sympathizing friends. Impressive serâ€" vices ‘were conducted at the house by Rev. J. W.â€" German, assisted by Rev. S. E. Marshall. The former, in a brief address, referred to the bright and Christâ€"like character of the deâ€" ceased, who was always an active worker in religious circles. The corâ€" tege proceeded to Blenheim, where services were conducted in the old family church by Rev. S. E. Marâ€" shall. The pallâ€"bearers were Messrs. E. P. Clement, K. C., D. Staufier, A. S. Hallman, J. K. Master, Peter The Women‘s Missionary Society of Trinity Methodist Church, celebrated the twentyâ€"fiith anniversary of | its organization in Berkin on Wednesday, and held a very interesting service in honor of the> event in the lecture room in the evening. There was a splendid attendance notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. The feature of the meeting was the cxâ€" cellent address of Miss Preston, who has been laboring for over ten years in a girls‘ school in Kofu, a city . of 50,000 inhabitants. + Shupe, and Dr. W. R. Wilkinson. The chair was ably occupicd by Mrs. (Rev.) 8. E Marshall, Presiâ€" dent of the local W.*‘M. S., who was assisted in the devotional exercises by Mrs. Devitt, or Waterloo, and Mrs. E. P. Clement. Miss Preston, in a fortyâ€"minute adâ€" dress, referred to the wonderful proâ€" gress that has been made by the Japanese in recent years. The <Same power that cnabled the nation . to mobilize an army that defeated the Russians in the recent war, also preâ€" dominates in the commercial and eduâ€", cational progress of Japan. The Anâ€" gloâ€"Japanese alliance and the war with Russia has brought the nation to the front rank, and now the (‘hinâ€"i ese and Koreans are sending their young men to that country to study her institutions and system of govâ€" ernment. Japan, however, has nothâ€" ing to offer these heathen nations that is clevating or inviting, and while the door is wide open for the entrance of the Gospel of Christ it is the duty of the Christian church in the civilized world to take . adâ€" vantage of the opportunity to send their missionaty â€" workers and the Gospel to that country. The sin of Japan toâ€"day is unspeakable immorâ€" ality,; and hundreds of young men are committing suicide owing to the inâ€" crease of this crime. Miss Prestan spoke of the splendid work that is being done among the Japanese women and gave sevcral striking incidents showing the gratiâ€" fying results of the cfforts being put forward for the evangelization of the Japanese women.
