GROUND HOG DAY Saturday was
what is known in the Roman aud Angel.
can church calendars as Candlemas day.
In some Catholic countries on that day
the faithful bring wax candles to their
churches TO be blessed by the priest, part
OF which are given to the church to be
burned upon the altar the residue ca efully
put away at home for religious rites when
needed in the household. The day is more
properly regarded as the feast of the pur-
ification of the Virgin Mary. 1t has an
ear and unk nOwn date in Christian his
to y. The Pope on that day ofiiciates in
the chapel of the quirinal, and after the
ceremony. Is placed in his chair and car
ried in procession. There is a slDersti-
Jinn that good weather on this day indi-
Gates long continuance of winter and a
bad crop, and foul weather is held to be a
gnod omen. All are familiar with the old
Scottish rhvme:
II Candemas day be dry and fair
Ihe half o wlnter's to come and mair:
II Candiemas Y be Wet and foul,
The half o. winters gone at Yule.
LII there be any truth in the legend. then
long continuance of winter and bad
crop may be looked for. as Saturday was a
Lively day. The sun shone out bright and
clear and not cloud overcast the sky.

An announcement elsewhere informs
our readers that on Friday night next,
February 18th, they will have their last
opportunity to hear the famous violinist,
Remenyi. While with his robust health Il @
great musician may be before the public
for years yet. it is hardly likely that at
his age he will ever make another gena-
raj tour such as he is j1st c,nclnd ng and
tune TO be one of the points. Remanyi is
one of the few masters Of the violin now
living and to go to hear him is tribute
both to the artist and the art.

MINORITY REPORT in THE ALLEN HAM

The minority report in this case is pub
Iished. 1t is mainly repetition OF the
case as already stated by ex Auditor AL

which has been copied in full in this pa
per. The report concludes
In this case there is not one parti Gle of
proof to establish such corrupt exercise of
che discretion on the part of the auditor.
or any fact or suggestion in the record
pointing even in that direction. Nor do
we consider that the question as to wheth-
er Mr.. Allen required, or should have re-
QuiTed bond, was submit ed to US. or is
it pert inent because MIR. Hamilton colIec-
ted and paid IN lie money long 81 ce. and
mob ,dy has ever Suggested anything to the
contrary. For these reasons, we are OF
the opinion that the auditor acted in the
