The Matron at the Berlin Orphanage, have stood by us ~nobly ; also the different Poâ€" lice <Magistrates, _ Justice of _ the Peace, and Police Constables in genâ€" eral, have nover refused us a favot, and the Society owes a great â€" deal to their kind coâ€"operation. The local press has also been a remarkable agtn°r in keePing up th> interest of DUF work, and are deserving of much praise for their efforts. _° .. The subject of tlt: greatest interest to our work during this quarter _ is the organizing of a Juvenile Court, which matter, thrnu‘n strong efforts, is progressing favor®hly, and we hope soon to be able to have the Juvenile Delinguent Act proclaimed throughout our City and Countv. My object is not â€" of flattery when I state that we are reloicing to know that J. J. 4. Weir, Police Magistrate, who has been doing such excellent work for the Sovietyv, has accepted ths office _ of luvenile Court _ Judge, subject _ to Attorn=y Genetal‘s approval, _ and bope that h> may long be spared to assist us in this vast and important work. Tlt® resurrection of this moveâ€" ment is indebted chiefly to an _ adâ€" fress givenwy the late Commissioner Starr of Torento to the Women‘s CUanadien Club of this City, ard it is With.regret that we learn of his reâ€" rent death. While _ we may not be able to °xâ€"; plan how, yet the fact is that our work reaches much furth>r than small children ; often adults are implicated who need help from others, and had it not been for the kind and _ everâ€" ready hzart and hand of Mrs. J. E. Clarke, Matron of Bethany _ Home, ho so faithfully sheltered many _ of ouUr older girls in time of need, gi\'-l imz them motherly advice and superâ€" visicn,. also _ Miss M Honderich, a! Deacon:ss, who has been of _ great assistence both in this work and in pot homes where they needed help, our work _ would have boen considerâ€" ably handicapped. * | It would be a gross injustice to make it appear that we accomplish this work alone, and had it not been lor the faithful assistance of several voluntary workers, w« could not PoSâ€" sibly have done so much work. We are sure it has only been through the kind Providence of God that a young lady, Miss M. Cole, came and offered her services voluntarily, secing . the amount of work that was pressinz me, and sh> having her heart filled with a love and longing to help: those who are in nsed, that sh: cheerfully wave her time, and by her ambition and tactfuln:ss has been a great help to us, and especially to tir _ young women Under our supervision. We were in bopes that she could remain and properly organize the Big Sister Movem:nt, ard _ we hope that if she cannot remaim with as at this time, she may again be permitted to _ reâ€" turn and take up the work which she is so well fitted.

Alâ€" though we l!1ve given bare figures to express what we have tried to acâ€" complish, neverthsless many of these cases â€"(ntailed a great deal more 'work, and _ involÂ¥ed a great . man; more gbildren than what we. have numerated, and had we kept track of the exact number of _ clldremn â€" who were really benofited by thy various investigations, etc., it might almost appear like exaggeration. There are many gases of such a nature that we dare not put them in print ; and of all former experiences, we have never had a season of work so full of exâ€" traordinary cases, and esPecially one, of such a vnique character, as _ we have bad during the last three months. Never have _ we felt the great n>ed of a Juvenile Court, _ by means of which we could enforce the Juvcnile Del‘nquent Act, by _ which Act those aiding or ahct{ing towards the delinzuency of children can be punished severely, as we do at this prescnt time. that our first quarter‘s work, the reâ€" :t ef which includes: poth Societies, | been of the most pleasant naâ€" ture because of the absolute harimony existing . betwecn the two Societies which are working in vnison ; comseâ€" quently we are chabled to report . a most successful quarter. ’ The foregoing is a sumimary of the | busim>ss transacted by _ the â€" Berlin: Council at the semiâ€"monthly meetâ€" 'ing on Monday evening.> The _ busi ness was largely routinc, but â€" sevâ€" eral recommendattons of the Firance Committed provided an. opportunity | for a representative depulation tn] _strenuously oppose the granting _ of the use of the Maftket Square for a] summer carnival and also requested the Council . to cancel the _ license. The request of the deputation _ was ‘thrrshed out for. upwards of an hout with the ‘result that the Council struck out the recommendation in the report granting the use of the Market Square, while no action wasi taken in regard to rescinding the motion that they be granted a liâ€"~ cense. The depulation included _ reâ€" presentatives of the Ministerial Asâ€" sociation, the Children‘s Aid Society and a number oi private citizens. _ The reports _ of other municigal ; committees were adopted with Â¥ers , little discussion. + 4 Secretary H.

At first it was thought that thousands of lives had been lost, but it developed that the total loss of life was less than 500. ‘Terrible scenes of panic followed when the top of the volcano was blown off and great clouds of smoke and flam» burst into the sky. The volcam is on the .lsland of Sakura and across from it the populous city of Kagoshima.

He saic that there was no finer type of Caâ€" nadian citizen than Dr.. Vogt. He was an expression of one of _ the things we want Canada to produce. He stated that Mr. Vogt would have been a great banker, a great farmet, or a great industrial captain, in fact would have risen to eminence in any‘ profession he entered. It ~ was to his credit that he had devoted thimseli to the musical profession in which he was an outstanding figure. ‘The Mendelssohn Choir was the equal of ahy choir in the world and had been brought to this position through the instrumentality of Mr. Vogt. He aescribed Mr. .Vogt as shrewd, thorâ€" ough, of splendid _ executive. abrlity, and with a great capacity for work. He had been offered large induceâ€" ments to.leave Cagada and go to the States, but he considered his art first and had declined all offers, however tempting. .

Worthy of the world‘s best music To most of us the chance to hear human playing of good music comes infrequently. Only in the great cities are the appetites of the musicâ€"hungry satished. Even then one can hear but a small part of all the worth while concerts. Fortunately for those who love the masters of the past, and who have the judgment to recognize in present day composers the masters of the future, there is the Edison B Phonograph. It is worthy of Wagner, of Bach, of Puccini. The clear, sweet tone, remarkable in its purity, is simply a translaâ€" tion of human music into your own home. Unless you have heard the newest Edisons, you have no canception of their wonderful mellow cuality. You never realized that such beauty could be applied to sound. _ Ask your Edison dealer to play one of the Blue Amberol Recordsâ€" then you will know that the whole world of good music â€"â€"past and presentâ€"is open to you. A complete line of Ediron Phoragraphs and Records will be found at Ahrama C ladiso, tmabe marx a&”a‘. MRS, J.
