Mr. Harrington, Head Master Methodist College, accompanied by Mrs. Harrington and child, returned from a visit to England yesterday, by the Dahome. Miss Muriel Samways returned to New York by the Rosalind Saturday; her cousin, Miss Genevieve Howell, who has been spending the summer here, accompanied her. Rev. T. Albert Moores, who was recently in the city in connection with the Lord’s Day Alliance, has been appointed from Associate Secretary of the institution, to General Secretary. Rev. Dr. Ryan, Professor of Rochester College, Rochester, N.Y., arrived by this morning’s Bruce from his annual visit to his mother in St. John’s, Nfld. The Reverend Doctor, who at one time was a schoolmate with the late lamented Rev. Dr. Chisholm, will spend a few days in town, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. James Desmond, Summer Street — Sydney Records.

Look at both men from another point of view. Sir Robert Bond, for the last ten or twelve years, has been trying to arrange what he calls a Reciprocity Treaty with the Americans. To effect this, he was willing to give American fishermen the same right to take bait in every cove and harbor in Newfoundland, as is possessed by our own fishermen. Fortunately for us, the Americans refused the so-called Reciprocity Treaty, and we still have our bait supply intact. If the knowledge of its value now in possession, we barter it away to the Americans, as Sir Robert Bond proposed to do, we will destroy at one blow, the mainstay of our fisheries, and the groundwork of the prosperity which we have enjoyed during recent years.

Finding the Americans averse to the so-called Reciprocity Treaty, Sir Robert Bond conceived the insane idea of compelling the Americans to accept the so-called Treaty, by preventing our fishermen from selling herring to them for food purposes. Nothing more illogical or suicidal than such a policy can be imagined, and it speaks volumes for the autocratic control of Sir Robert Bond over his party, that he was able to force such a measure down their throats. The result we have seen. Two Newfoundland fishermen have been fined and threatened with jail, for presuming to earn a living for their families by catching and selling herring. Fortunately for our fishermen, the British Government stepped in, and refused to allow our fishermen to be prevented from catching and selling herring, or to be sent to jail for so long. In spite of Sir Robert Bond, the fishermen on the West Coast will, in a few weeks, be catching and selling herring as usual, and making their usual provision for the long hard winter ahead of them.

Contrast this with Capt. Dawe’s fishery policy — as exhibited day by day, from one year’s end to another. Sir Robert Bond wants to stop our fishermen by force, from catching herring and selling them to our best customers. If they refuse to stop, he threatens to put them in jail. Capt. Dawe encourages every fisherman in the Colony to catch as much fish as possible, and to sell it to the best advantage. Whose policy is the right policy for the fisherman and for the Colony? Who is doing best for the fishermen and their families? Sir Robert Bond, by hoarding his money, or Capt. Dawe, by investing every dollar that he can lay hold of, in schooners and fishing gear, to help the fishermen to make a living? Sir Robert Bond, by preventing our fishermen from selling their herring for the highest price obtainable, or Capt. Dawe, by putting them afloat, and giving them a chance to become independent men?

The answer is so obvious that the question almost answers itself. The autocratic reign of Sir Robert Bond is fast nearing its end. The resignation of Sir E.P. Morris has opened the eyes of the people. They begin to see Sir Robert Bond in his true colours. An election in St. John’s East, if Sir Bond gives the electors of that district an opportunity to express their opinion, will open their eyes still further, and will prepare them for the greater changes, which everybody admits, will be brought about by the General Election next year.

The Shamrock excursion dance held in the Academy Hall on Thursday night, was extra well attended, many townspeople taking part with the visitors in the different dances. A most enjoyable time was realized, and all were delighted with the pleasant time spent. The excursionists boarded the train, and at 3 a.m. were on their way home. It is a pity the weather was so disagreeable, but taking everything into consideration, the occasion was not without its compensations. The Shamrocks are always welcome to Harbor Grace, and it is to be hoped more favourable weather will prevail when they come this way another year.

Messrs J.T. Lawton, J. Hunt, and James Luffman, wife and 5 children, en route to Montreal; E. Seanon, and several others for St. John’s, went out by Friday evening’s train.

An interesting case was heard at the Court here, on Friday, before Judge Penney of Carbonear. Judge Seymour, as Chairman of the Board of Health, proceeded against Dr. Strapp, for failure to report a case of scarlatina, which he attended. The Doctor pleaded not guilty, and when he made his defence, said that he reported the case to the Colonial Secretary, giving as his reason for not reporting to Mr. Seymour, that he had previously reported two other cases of supposed scarlatina to him, and after the house where the scarlatina was ocated had been placarded, the Judge sent Dr. Allan, the Health Officer, to investigate. Dr. Allan pronounced the disease not scarlatina, and the Judge had the placards removed. This, Dr. Strapp considered a breach of professional etiquette, and a wrong done him by the Board of Health, against which he protested, by not reporting to the Chairman the case, for which he had been summoned to Court. Judge Seymour said that he sent Dr. Allan to investigate, because Dr. Strapp had not visited the patients when the cases were reported to him. Dr. Strapp declared that he had given the Judge verbal notification of the cases he had visited, and wanted Head Constable Freeman to be called to verify his statement too. Dr. Strapp made a large and fearless stand in justification of his course of action, but his effort was of no avail, for Judge Penney, not considering that the causes which led up to the Doctor taking the course he did, justified him in not reporting to the Board of Health, was obliged to carry out the provisions of the law, and so he imposed a fine of $10, which is the minimum.

The musical entertainment, given at St. Paul’s Hall on Thursday night, was well patronized, the building being almost filled, and had the weather that day been fine, the capacity of the hall would have been taxed to its utmost to contain all who would be present, for many visitors from adjacent towns would be there. Shortly after 8 p.m., the entertainment was opened with an instrumental duet by Mrs Jones and Miss Hanraham. The rendering of this piece displayed the excellent capabilities of the performers, and was applauded by the audience in a manner worthy of its execution. The next was a song “Fleeting Years “ by Miss Jones, who, in her usual presentation of delightful songs, captivated the house, and called forth the merited approval, which gained an acknowledgment in the form of another song, “So Long Mary”, which was equality well received. Then followed a recitation, “Not Understood”, (with piano accompaniment) by Miss Jordan. The delivery of this high class contribution, was an exhibition of elocution which is rarely presented to an audience, and marked the proficiency attained by the reciter. So enthralled was the audience, that it had scarcely recovered from the spell cast upon it, when the song, “My Juliet”, by Mr. Lynon, recalled attention. Mr. Lynch’s reputation as a comic singer is such, that his presence on the stage instantly aroused the assemblage, who, entering into the peculiar moods and tenses of the singer, was amused, gratified and delighted, with his performance. He was vociferously applauded, and he again gratified his listeners by singing, “It was Beautiful”. A musical sketch, “Very Suspicious”, by Mrs. Jones and Dr. Strapp, won the recognition which their effort elicited. Next came a song, “Death of Nelson”, by Mr. T. Hanrahan, which was beautifully sung and thoroughly appreciated by the gathering, who marked their approval by enthusiastically clamoring for his return. Mr. Hanraham responded with, “Off to Philadelphia”, which was gratefully accepted. Then came a recitation, “Morning on the Irish Coast”, by Miss Jordan, and the effects of the former recitation were to some degree reproduced. In response to the acclamation which followed, she made a silent recognition. Then followed a skirt dance by Miss Phine O’Neil, which was pleasingly and gracefully executed, and the pleasure with which the display was received, was increased, when a Highland Fling was added. Miss Thomey then charmed the company by singing, “The Old Green Isle”, and her effort showed plainly how this favourite singer can influence those who hear her. In answer to the desire for more, she gave, “I’m Lonesome”. Last was a song, “If There Weren’t Any Women in the World”, by Dr. Strapp, in which the Doctor seemed to excel himself, and the hearty commendation of the house, called forth, “My name is Morgan, but it ain’t J.P.” “God Save The King” brought the entertainment to a close. Throughout, the entertainment was an immense success, financially and otherwise, and the audience was fully satisfied with the night’s enjoyment, not even the most critical, expressing a note of dissatisfaction.

CORRESPONDENT, Harbor Grace, Aug. 31, 1907.

The resident of Carter’s Hill who was charged with assault, was released yesterday. The woman who made the charge, failed to appear.

In the match between the city and H.M.S. Brilliant last night, the city won 2 goals to 1 goal. There was a fairly large attendance and the game was well divided, except that the Brilliant’s team played the men too much, a feature unknown in St. John’s. The receipts were for the gatemen, and all considered, the Brilliant team are worthy of praise in coming forward to play.

About 7.30 last night, a city tramp, unfortunately unknown to the young woman he intended to assault, visited a house on Water Street. He had been at the rear of the building, and made his way to the kitchen, the only one present being a girl of about 17 years. She ran to the street and tripping over the pavement, sprained her right arm. The affair was reported to Head Constable Collins and Constable Savage, who last night, were trying to find the miscreant.

Owing to the lack of foresight on the part of concert promoters, there was no public entertainment in any of the halls Thursday night, consequently, a number of excursionists went to Harbor Grace, to take in the concert at St. Paul’s Hall.

Miss Katie M. Penney, Teacher at Lower Island Cove, Bay de Verde, returned by the S.S. Ethie last week. The Archer-Forester Comedy Co., performed in the Orange Hall Monday night. An audience, largely composed of young folks, assembled for a night’s entertainment from the well known entertainers.

Mr. Jno. Mackey has been selected by the R.C. Board of Education to teach in the superior department of the Academy, in place of Mr. Ronald Kennedy, who succeeds Mr. J.T. Lawton at Hr. Grace. Mr. Mackey is the son of the veteran ex-teacher Mr. Laurence Mackey, J.P., who for over half a century, made his influence felt amongst the youth of our town. His son, we believe, has inherited the teaching tact of his father, and that combined with his former experience, short through it is, will easily convince the Board that they have made no mistake in the appointment.

The corpse of a young man named William LAMBERT of Victoria Village, was conveyed here by the S.S. Progress Saturday afternoon. From what we can learn, the young man received severe injuries a little while ago, while working in the mines on Bell Island, from which he succumbed Sunday, and was attended by the L.O.A. of which he was a member.

The D.P. Ingraham steamed into port on Thursday at noon, having on board a party of city excursionists, under the auspices of the Cochrane Athletic Association. From early morn, all through the day, rain fell in copious quantities, watering the earth and all thereon, so much so, that the last holiday of the season was looked upon as a chastening, rather than a blessing. The bulk of excursionists, as soon as their feet were planted on terra firma, made their way to the McCarthy Hotel, and there reflected on the “what might have been” whilst others were escorted to the home of friends, to participate in the sweet taste of hospitality under roof. Great disappointment was felt, owing to the lads not being permitted to indulge in any of the outside sports. An effort was made in the afternoon, between showers, to try conclusions in football, but before the game was scarcely started, an accident happened to the ball, which necessarily wound up the game. We trust the Association will be more fortunate next year, if another similar excursion is contemplated, and not run amuck with Jupiter Pluvins, as on Thursday last.

Of a most refined and loveable disposition, Mrs. Carter shed a ray of gentleness and kindness upon the community in which she lived so long. Her home has been renowned far and near, for the splendid hospitality, which a character such as Mrs. Carter possessed, alone can exercise.

She attracted to her, hosts of friends, who learned to value her goodness of heart and beauty of disposition. To all who had the priviledge of her acquaintance, and they are many, the news of her death will come with deep regret. Mrs. Carter was a mother of a large family, six sons and six daughters, of whom eight survive her. Two sons, William, of Montreal, James, H.A. Customs Collector at Ferryland, and six daughters – Harriet, wife of F.C. Alderdice, Esq., Ada, Mrs. W.M. Clapp, Maud, married Rev. J.J. White of New Harbor, and Misses Kay, Katherine and Blanche. All that was mortal of Mrs. Carter was laid to rest in the General Cemetery at Ferryland on Friday afternoon last. The large number of people of every class, that followed her to the grave, is an evidence of the esteem in which she was held. and to say that Ferryland mourns for the loss of a true friend and charitable lady, is to indicate the depth of attachment to the place and people, and their sympathy with the bereaved husband and children is correspondingly deep and real. — COM

Mr. George PETERS, a well known Carpenter of this town, died this morning after a lingering illness of ten months duration. He was about 72 years of age, unmarried, and resided on Cochrane Street with his sister Miss Belle Peters. He was a Carpenter of the old school, which means that work done by him could bear inspection, and win admiration, of any one who happened to view it. Of this class, very few Carpenters remain, but their work does not die with them, and often stands as a memorial of the workmen. So it may be said of qualities, and many will regret to learn of his demise. The funeral takes place tomorrow afternoon.

Some citizens were highly amused one evening lately, when a young gentleman, who is always polite, was passing a public building. Seeing some ladies who he recognized, he instinctively raised his hat, and later, coming up to other ladies who were well acquainted with him, he neglected to disclose his nicely parted hair. Considering this a slight, these ladies soundly berated him for his lack of courtesy to them, and gave him to understand, that they were quite as ready as were those who had been previously saluted. The bystanders were quite mirthful over the incident, although the young gentleman was painfully made aware of his short comings.

So pleased were our citizens with a lecture given here by Mr. Shortis last evening, that it is again contemplated to request him to favour this town with another lecture this fall, in aid of Shannon Park funds. If Mr. Shortis does come, and no doubt he will readily consent, it is quite certain the lecture will be just as popular and successful as was the previous one given by him.

Miss Phine Jordan of St. John’s, who has recently returned from a visit to Miss Florrie McKenna at Pictou, N.S., is well known in this town.

Under the caption, “Miss Jordan’s Vocal Recital”, the Pictou, Advocate of August 20th, comments on Miss Jordan’s performance in the words: “Miss Jordan’s rich contralto voice was heard to advantage in all her numbers, in which she was accompanied by Mrs. Arch, McKenna, Jr., but we think she was her best in the (b) of her group of songs, namely, “The Minor Chord”. It is always pleasing to note the success of Newfoundlandrers when abroad, and Miss Jordan deserves congratulations.

Another old citizen passed peacefully away at noon on Wednesday, in the person of Mr. Richard MADIGAN, a well known Tailor of this town. Mr. Madigan, although not feeling well for some time past, was not considered dangerously ill, and the announcement of his death that day, came unexpected to a great many. Many regrets for the demise of this old gentleman have been expressed, for he was known far and wide, and greatly liked by all who knew him, and kindly remembrances of him were called forth. He is about the last of the Irishmen who came to live in this town many years ago. Born in Mooncoyn, County Kelkenny, Ireland, about 75 years ago, he came to this Country on the transport steamship Antelope, making the run across the Atlantic in the remarkable quick time of days in 1858. He worked at his trade in St. John’s for two years and then came to reside in Harbor Grace, remaining here ever since. He married Miss Margaret Brett, daughter of Mr. Richard Brett, an old time prosperous Planter of this town, who predeceased her husband some 12 to 15 years ago. He leaves three sons, Messrs, James, William and Patrick, and two daughters, Mrs. Thomas O’Brien and Miss Minnie Madigan, now of Boston, to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate father. Mr. Madigan was a man of splendid physique and agility. As a Tailor he had few equals, and the business which he built up is now being conducted by his sons. During his illness, Mr. Madigan was attended by His Lordship Bishop March and Rev. Fr. Finn. The funeral takes place from his late residence, Water Street, on Friday morning.

Our citizens no doubt, will pardon another reference to the desirableness of constructing a large size floating dock or marine slip in this harbor. When this matter comes up for discussion among the thoughtful portion of our townsmen, they are ready to admit the desirableness and practicability of the project; but it seems nobody cares to move in the matter, and bring about the realization of such a boom to our harbor. Everybody concedes the point that a dock could not fail to pay investors, were the project engineered properly; that there would be no lack of work for it throughout the year; that one to take up large sized vessels would be advantageous, that the harbor possesses all the required facilities for operations; that no other place on the North East Coast can offer such advantages; and that in the event of the establishment of the proposed dock here, a great factor in the up-building of this town would appear. The docks at St. John’s, at times during the year, cannot take all the vessels needing repairs, and especially is this the case in the spring and fall. If a dock, suited to the requirements of vessel - owners, were located here, loss of time and money would be saved, for vessels from the various bays on the North East Coast could come here and undergo repairs, instead of being forced, as it is now, to go to St. John’s, where they may be kept waiting their turn for a month or more. Ventures of different kinds have been gone into in Harbor Grace, and the returns in some instances, have not been fortunate, for the prospects at the outset did not give such promise of success, as does this project of a floating dock. Many persons are quite certain that if the capital, say $30,000, were subscribed, and the enterprise undertaken in a businesslike manner, there need be no misgivings as to the realization of dividends. It should not be difficult to raise such a small amount, and it only requires somebody who quite believes in his ability to promote the scheme, to make the attempt, and the truth of the old saying: “Where there’s a will there’s a way,” will be made plain. CORRESPONDENT, Harbor Grace, Sept 7th., 1907.
