SEEN ABOUT
TORONTO.
Miss Posey Visits the Canadian
Town
AND DESCRIBES WHAT SHE SAW
At the Old Normal School Building
Where Queen Victoria’s Por
trait Is Seen.
I left Galt, Ontario Tuesday
morning, August 6th. Aunt Tay
lor, Mrs. Aitkin, and Lizzie Ait
kin walked with me up to the Ca
nadian,Pacific railway depot,where
I bought a ticket to Toronto, and
was soon on my way there. As
the train stopped at Toronto Junc
tion. I stepped off and was met
by Miss Cherry, who conducted me
to her home. Soon after dinner,
Miss Cherry, her mother and I
boarded an eleetric car and were
soon at the Normal school build
ing on St. James Square, which
was headquarters of the Provincial
Educational department, and is a
large elegant structure. We pass
ed into one of the chapels, which
was beautifully furnished and
above the small platform on the
wall was a portrait of Queen Vic
toria, when she was eighteen years
of age, and above it was the Brit
ish court of arms. We went into
several of the class rooms, then up
stairs, where there is a museum.
Here were many kinds of birds all
stuffed and placed in large glass
cases, some were very beautiful
and there were birds of all sizes
and plumages. The whooping
crane had the whitest plumage of
any bird I ever saw. In other
rooms were animals of all kinds
from the elk to the weasel, all
stuffed and looked as natural as
life.
We passed into rooms, the walls
of which were adorned with beau
tiful pictures. The largest which
was twelve by nine feet was Queen
Victoria laying a wreath on the
coffin of Sir John Thompson, a
premier of Canada, who died in
England. Her daughters, the Prin
cess Lauria and Beatrice with oth
er members of the Royal family
were standing some little distance
by each side of the coffin. This
was Bell Smith’s famous picture
and was worth $5,000. It was a
beautiful picture and well worth
that sum. Queen Victoria is high
ly thought of in Canada, and I was
told by a lady in Toronto that she
was the world’s greatest woman.
Another picture that interested me
was a family at prayer. It seemed
as if they had just eaten breakfast.
There was a table covered with
dishes and in front of it a woman
was kneeling by a chair with two
children on each side of her, near a
sofa, a gray-headed man was kneel
ing and a child near him. The
fatlur was kneeling by another
chair with his face toward the win
dow and a stream of sunlight
seemed to flood the room. It was
a lovely picture of Reid’s and
worth SSOO. There were many
pictures of all kinds in this room,
which were interesting, but I will
describe only one more and this
was a sick child on a bed, a lady
and little girl were beside the bed
while the nurse stood at a little dis
tance. The sick child looked hap
py and pleased. Beneath this pic
ture w’ere the words “In as much,”
as I sat and gazed long at this pic
ture I began to ponder on the
word “In as much.” How many
there will be, who will hear that
word spoken to themselves, who
least expect it, and I thought of
Miss Cherry’s kindness to me, a
stranger in a strange land, and I
believe she will receive the great
blessing of that word “In as
much.”
We went into other rooms, in
which were statues of the human
body made of plaster of paris, and
the outlines of one called the
“Greek slave” were perfect, and a
great many busts of men and wo
men, probably made by the stu
dents lined each side of the long
halls.
From the Noirnal school build
ings we went into one of the Cath
olic churches. The interior of this
church was beautiful, and from one
of the Baptist churches we went to
Rosedale, which is considered one
of the prettiest parts of Toronto.
We crossed over a deep ravine on
a long bridge, walked some dis
tance, then took the electric cars
to go home. Next morning Miss
Cherry and I went back into the
city, and to the Parliament build
ings,wnich w’ere made of stone,and
the carved work on some of the
stones were perfectly beautiful.
As we passed through the long
halls we saw- on each side large
ife like portraits of the ex-minis
ers of state. In the hall, where the
laws are made is seen the royal
seat where the person who repre
sent the King sits. It was on a
small platform, and above it w’ere
the arms of Great Britain carved
in Mahogany. After seeing all
that was worth seeing inthis build
ing, we went to Queen Park.which
is the central one, and a place of
rest.
As we left the Parliament Build
ings we passed between two can
nons with the following inscrip
tions beneath them: ‘ Taken at
capture of Sebastopol by the allied
armies of Great Britain and France
and presented by Queen Victoria
to the citizens of Toronto A. D.
MDCCCIJX.” The inscription
beneath the cannon on the south
side was written in English and
the other in Latin.
After resting awhile at Queen
Park, Miss Cherry said, “Now we
are going down town to see the
big department stores, where they
keep) everything from a needle to
an anchor.” After walking awhile
Miss Cherry said, “Now this is
Eaton’s,” and it certainly was one
of the largest stores I ever was in,
and represented everything that
could be thought of to sell in a
store. We walked around, in and
out among the counters where va
rious articles were sold, then went
Into the restaurant connected with
this store, where we ate dinner,
after which we stepped into an
elevator and were carried up to
the third floor, where they sell
photos, carpets, draperies, etc.
There were so many things that
were attractive and interesting in
this store that I haye not the power
to describe them all.
After leaving this store we went
into two or three others, then went
to the depot on Lake Ontario
where we sat watching the ferry
boat carrying passengers and goods
to Toronto Island, where people
live in the summer time. They
have an elegant hotel on the island
with a level grassy yard, a broad
gravel walk lined with beautiful
flowers, also a sick children’s hos
pital where all the sick little ones
are sent during the summer time,
and this hospital is called Summer
Island Home. I saw large white
birds with black tips to their wings
flying around over the lake, then
dart down on the water. I sup
posed they were fish hawks, but
Miss Cherry told me they were sea
gulls.
Thursday afternoon I bade good
bye to Toronto, the Queen City of
Canada, with her schools and col
leges of learning, beautiful church
es, large and elegant buildings of
all kinds, palatial residences, and
stepped on board the boat Chippawa
to cross Lake Ontario, on my
return to Buffalo, N. Y. Miss
Cherry took leave of me on the
boat and put me in the caie of two
ladies who were travelers on the
same boat. I became sea-sick by
the time the boat was half way
across the lake, went into the la
dies cabin and lay down. Before
the boat reached Lewiston, where
we were to get off, I was alright
again.
Queenstown is on the opposite
side from Lewiston, on the Cana
dian shore. Here a large marble
monument on the hill above
Queenstown could be seen as the
boat neared its destination, and
this is Brock’s Monument. Our bag
gage was inspected by an officer as
the boat approached Lewiston, and
pretty soon we were off the boat
and on the train to Buffalo, at
which place we arrived at | ibout
sp. m. My train was to leave
Buffalo tor Cincinnati at midnight,
so I bought a ticket and got on a
sleeping car at 10:15, and was soon
asleep, but did not so well
when the train was jerking and
shaking during the night. I was
very kindly treated on this train,
and reached Cincinnati next morn
ing at 10:30. Alter dinner I went
to the C. P. V. R. R. depot to take
3 train to Seaman, Ohio, and had
to wait until 5:30. Seaman is sixty
one miles from Cincinnati, and I
arrived there safely after sunset.
Was met at the train by my sister
and was taken to her home.

CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION
Augusta Legislators Studying the
Proposition.
A CONVENTION SHOULD BE HAD

Auuusta Chronicle.
Tne proposed constitutional con
vention for Georgia is being dis
cussed to quite an extent in Au
gusta. The allusions that have
been made to the proposition have
won the attention of Maj. Wm. T.
Gary, Senator Sullivan, Capt. P.
M. Mulherin and Hon. D. P.
O’Connell, the legislative delega
tion from here.
Thev are studying the matter,
but are not yet teady to talk for
publication.
Just at this time, it would appear
there is not the necessity in Geor
gia for a constitutional convention
that existed in Alabama or in Vir
ginia—that is, regulation of the
the franchise. The franchise mat
ter has been solved in Georgia and
the solution stands as long as the
democratic party is in control—
and the calculation is that the Dem
ocrats are going to continue to run
things here for many moons. The
white people —the democratic par
ty —will go on making their nomi
nations by primary’ and are going
to run the state. There is the pos
sibility of division among the white
people—but it is so remote as to
hardly require consideration.
There would hardly be anew
constitution, even were a conven
tion held. Rather, there would be
revision of the constitution. Re
vision might be desirable on money
matters. Eor instance, the wis
dom is doubted of requiring the
state to keep as against the public
debt all monies collected from cer
tain sources —as from sale of pub
lic properties. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars are kept in bank
in this way. The money cannot
even be loaned out at interest.
Nor is it applied to the interest of
the public debt. The result of
the levy for the specific purpose of
paying the public debt interest is
applied to the interest account.
One suggestion is that the amend
ed constitution would at least put
this public property fund to paying
the interest on the public debt,
cutting off the levy fer this purpose
and thus reduce taxation.
The old soldiers’ pension list is a
problem. It is openly asserted
that the pension list, as now ap
plied, is out of reason in that the
pension goes to people whom it is
not intended to reach. The state’s
pleasure will be to pension these
noble men who fought for Georgia
that is, those of them who are so
impaired in health or means that
they need state assistance. It is
not the desire or purpose of the
state to assist ex-Confederates who
are affluent or w T ho are not in real
need of assistance. It is stated
that the most thorough revision of
the laws as to pensions are re
quired.
The taxing laws would receive
much attention in a revision, The
tax question in Georgia is a big
one —in fact has proved too big for
one legislature and may prove too
big for the present one.
Then there are the most serious
objections to a constitutional con
vention: It would cost from $30,-
000 to $50,000.
Governor Candler, who has been
at Montgomery watching the pro
ceedings there, it is understood, is
in favor of a convention for Geor
gia. The matter will come up
next month when the legislature
meets.

bowels and sickness of the stom

OFFERINGS AND COLLECTIONS-
Georgia Pastor, by IStrikinj? IMustra
tions Explains the JOnfference.
Macon News.]
A gentleman at the Brown
House told of a sermon he heard a
Georgia pastor preach on missions
the other day. The pastor was
preaching along the line of giving
to the cause of foreign missions,
and saught to emphasize the point
that contributions should be forth
coming without the preacher hav
ing to drag them out of the peo
people. The funds ought to come
as an offering, not as the result of
a collection. The story was to il
lustrate the difference between the
offering and a collection, and was
as follows:
On one occasion there was a lit
tle hoy who had been given the
breast of a cliioken at the table.
All know how a boy loves chicken
and how he has an especial weak
ness for the breast. This little
fellow left his alone on his plate,
however, and his mother asked :
“Son, why don’t you eat your
chicken?”
“I’m saving it,” he replied.
“Who are you saving it for?”
“Just saving it,” the little fellow
answered.
“But who are you saving it for?”
the mother insisted, and the boy
being so closely pressed, admitted
that he expected to divide it with
his dog.
“Well, you’ll do nothing of the
kind,” was the comment. “You
eat that chicken or put it hack on
the dise- No dog gets such choice
morsels here.”
The hoy then reluctantly ate it
though it was clearly seen that he
was disappointed.
After the meal the little fellow
took a plate nnd went around the
table and gathered up the bones
and took then out in the yare. He
called the dog, aue looking down
at his face delivered himself about
this way: “Rover, I intended to
make you an offering, but they
would not let me, so I had to take
up a collection.”
A Ministers’Good Work
“1 had a severe attack of bilious
colic, got a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy, took two doses
and was entirely cured,” says Rev.
A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kansas.
“My neighbor across the street
was sick for over a week, had two
or three bottles of medicine from
the doctor. He used them for
three or four days without relief,
then called in another doctor who
treated him for some days and
gave him no re’ief, so discharged
him. I went over to see him next
morning. He said his bowels
were in a terrible fix, that they
had been running off so long that
it was almost bloody flux. I asked
him if he had tried Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea rem
edy and he said, ‘No.’ I went
home and brought him my bottle
and gave him one dose; told him
to take another dose in fifteen or
twenty min ites if he did not find
relief, but he took no more and
was entirely cured. I think it the
best medicine I have ever tried.

WILL MEET AT ATHENS-
Georgia Federation of Womens’
Clubs Goes There In November!
The Georgia Federation of Wo
men's Clubs will hold its annual
ses- 0:1 in Athens in November,

ted and cultured principal of Lucy
Cobb Institute is president of the
Athens Woman’s Club and is in
charge of the arrangements for
the entertainment of the federation.
She will be assisted in this work by

joy themselves more thoroughly
here than they ever enjoyed them
selves anywhere since the Federa
tion was formad.
The Athens Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy will
give an elegant entertainment com
plimentary to the Georgia Federa
tion and it will be one of the most
enjoyable features of the meeting.
The Macon chapter of this or
ganization will send a large dele
gation to Athens on this occasion
and the indications point to one of
the largest annual meetings ever
heid in the state.

ger to people whose systems are poorly

the interest of the less robust of our
readers, that the full etlect of Hood's
Sarsaparilla is snot, as to suggest the
propriety of calling this medicine lome
| thing besides a blood puritier and tonic,
--say, a sustaining diet. It makes it
much easier to bear the beat, assures
refreshing sleep, and wall, without any
doubt, avert much sickness at this time
