Annual Easter Opening.

The annual Easter opening of the
Berlin Dry Goods Co. took place last
Friday. This opening has been the Gus
tom for several years past and is now
eagerly watched for as every spring sea-
son comes around This year, more
elaborate preparations than usual were
undertaken and successfully carried out.
The decorations were tasty and beauti-
full, and consisted of vines of morning.
glory in full bloom, which were artistic
ally hug and wreathed about the gar
ment and dry goods departments, aud
potted palms, plants and beautiful Eas-
ter lilies we're tastefully arranged about
the several stores. The show windows
were deliberately dressed and presented
a handsome appearance, much credit for
this being due as well as the arranging
of the decorations to Charles Nc Gran
nd his able corps of assistants.
On Friday, the opening day, the
Granite orchestra furnished music, both
afternoon and evening, being stationed
in the garment department, and Sc
great was the throng of visitors that it
Was practically impossible to so much as
show the many beautiful lines of spring
apparel to intending purchasers.
1t may be truthfully said that the Ber-
lin Dry Goods Co. is presenting this
spring the most commanding Easter ex-
hibit of fashion that Berlin has ever
known. The store has also won a rec
ognition to be proud of. 1t is one of
the Oldest in the city, and is not in the
business merely for the money making
important as money making is-it
has its ideals 1t is more than a place
of barter, it is recognized as the store
of equality and it is a "point d'hon-
ueur" to maintain the reputation of the
store.
TO meet the wants and requirements
of a cultured and refined clientele has
always been the policy of the store,
and in order to maintain this high
standard Of excellence, nothing is car
ried in stock until it has been clearly
demonstrated that they are the best to he
procured of their kind, and it may safely
be said that never before has there been
assembled at one time such a varied
collection of beautiful merchandise and
smart fashions as is now being shown
A visit to the store will verify the truth
of these atements.-Beriu Reporter.

l. O. =. Concert and Ball.

The concert and ball given Tuesday
night by Court Island Pond, No. 423,
Independent Order Foresters, was indeed
a gratifying success, between eighty and
ninety couples attending. The opera
house was splendidIy decorated for the
occasion by Arthur Paquette, decorator
for the Bosworth Store Co. A concert
by the Granite Orchestra of Berlin I'M
der the direction of Maude Danforth
Burbank, one of Island Ponds own, pre-
coded the ball, and was a flushed per-
Torrance of high grade music, keenly
enjoyed, the programme ending only too
soon. The gallery was filled with spec
tators. At $50 the grand march was
formed, led by Grosvenor G. Smith and
Miss Pearl Davis, at the conclusion of
which dancing began and was kept up
until midnight to The enlivening strains
of the orchestra above named. The
decorations, the brill ant|y lighted hall,
the handsome dresses of the ladies, and
the rythmic movements of the dancers
made an animated scene, in marked
contrast to the gloomy, wet surround
ings outside. At midnight there was
an intermisson, and all adjourned to
the banquet hall where supper was
served, after which dancing was resumed
with no lack of enthusiasm, continuing
until $50 o'clock. Several couples welt
present from out Of town. The men,

Mrs. w. E, Cline,

From the Cranbrook (B. c. Herald
of Thursday, March 25, we copy the APP
pended report of the death of Mrs. W.
E. Kline, who was Miss Edith McGee,
formerly of Island Pond, and a great
favorite among her associates.
The intelligence received by the
people of Cranbrook last Tuesday morn
ing that Mrs. William Edward Cline
had died the night before at IL O'Clock
proved severe shock to the entire COM
munity. 1t had been generally known
that Mrs. Cline was in precarious
condition, owing to complications that
had set in subsequently to the birth of
her baby son two weeks previously, yet
the reports on Monday were of reas-
surfing nature and the family and their
friends built high hopes of her ultimate
recovery.
The deceased leaves husband, son
about two years of age and another boy
two weeks old, sister, Mrs. A. l.. No
Dermot, and father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Magee. She was 20
years of age and came to Cranbrook
with her parents 10 years ago and was
married about five years ago to Mr..
Cline, the well known c. P. Il. des-
patcher. Mrs. Cline always enjoyed a
strong degree of popularity with the

Dear Editor,
Am taking the liberty to trouble you
with letter that you may publish il
your paper if you consider it worth the
space.
Last year the heboes that Travelled
our streets begging aud some times
stealing, were in numbers appalling.
About week ago they struck town
again after spending the winter in the
South.
These men are nearly all we'll dressed
and in the prime of life. They make
begging their only profession aud as
long as people, hard working men aud
women, give food, clothes aud in many
Instances money, our streets will be
lined with that class of people.
When these fellows get into large
place they will frequent the stations
aud holding few pieces of money in
their hands step up to some one about
to board train, tap them on the arm;
and with very meek look say, Il left
home few weeks ago aud came to the
city expecting to find plenty of work.
but ] have failed and have spent nearly
ali the money that | brought with me,
and am lacking few cents to make out
the required amount to pay for ticket
to get back to the old farm. Would
you be kind enough to help me in my
trouble In many instances the re-
quired amount is given.
Begging in the old world is pro
fes,ion and is fast becoming so here.
What is more disgusting to an honest,
Woodworking man than to see one Of
these professional beggars without a
blush saunter up to the front door OF
their home and in a commanding tone
OF voice ask, "Can you give me some
thing to eat? p
If every man would just take these
men around to the back yard and point
to pile of four foot wood, sawhorse
and buck-saw, and say, "Iou just buck
up about half cord of that while | 90
down street and get piece of beef
steak and cook it for you"
| am sure, very sure, that the good
man would have the steak for his own
dinner and also free our town of this
public nuisance, for these hoboes wont
work and a man that wont work is not
worthy of charity. Subscriber.

London. May IA comprehensive bill for the
removal Of Roman Catholic disabilities and pro-
vioing for change in the oath of accession taken
by the British sovereign was introduced by Will
lam Redmond in the House OF Commons to-day
and passed its second reading by of 1s3 to
l23, AS II is not a government measure, 1t has
little prospect Of becoming law at the present
session The fact that a majority of the House of
Commons voted in favor of the measure. however
is regarded a great victory for the Catholics
Although similar bills have been debated on many
previous occasions this Is the first time that one
has passed its second reading.
A petition signed by three hundred thousand
persons against the removal of the disabilities
handed in just before Mr.. Redmond arose. His
bill not only deletes what is regarded the OBJ
jectionable portion of the oath of accession but
repeals the acts prohibiting residence and the &C
QUESTION OF property by the Jesuits and other
monastic orders and abolshes the disqualification
which prevents Catholics from filling the Offices of
Lord Chancellor of Great Britain and Lord Lieu
tenant of Ireland.
Premier Asquith spoke early in the debate, and
gave his cordial support TO the objects of the bill
The language of the oath OF accession could not he

the total abolition Of the declaration. that a com
