WILL RETURN 10 NATIVE LAND
Santiago Awarded Lump Sum by Compensation Com missioner Enable Him to Pay His Passage to Cape Verde Islands-Three Other Hearings Occupied Com missioners Time Monday

Four hearings occupied the attention of Compensation Commissioner James
 J. Donohue on Monday. The first hearing was the case of Anton Santi- ago of this city, who was employed by the Connecticut Engineering company, and who was hurt on Aug. IS last. Attorney T. J. Kelly represented. the claimant, and the respondents were represented by L. NJ. Young and Dr.. A. F. Howard. The injury was pa- ralysis of the right arm due to an in- jury of the brachial plexus and muscle spiral nerve. A voluntary agreement had been approved in the case and by the agreement the claimant has been drawing $6.71 weekly. The hearing was requested by the claimant because of his desire to obtain lump sum so that he will be able to return to his native land, the Cape Verde Islands. It was finally arranged that there should be a communication of sufficient compensation to enable him to pay his passage home and to enable him to take up some occupation whereby he will be able to support himself. The exact sum was not arrived at at the hearing. In addition to this lump sum payments are to be made every two months until all the compensation has been paid over according to the agree ment approved.

What American Maehinist Says About
 Man We'll Known Locally.

The American Machinist, under the column Who's Who, has the following sketch of John A. McGregor, well known in this city:
 Whether it was the odor of the "Digby Chicken" the slowness of the Flying Bluenose" train or just the dreaminess of the Land of Evangeline, which caused John A. McGregor to leave his birthplace, I know not-but it is safe to bet on the "dreaminess
 For John McGregor is a man devoted to work, a practical man with vision ard just because he was born in Nova Scotia Aug. II, 1856, would not for him be a reason for continuing to stay there.
 He says he had a common school education, but he really had the best training any mechanical man can have he was assistant superintendent Of Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing com tany when Richmond Viall was super intendent.
 MT. McGregor is president of the Union Twist Drill company, president Of the s. w. Card Manufa turing com Pany, president of Butterfield &, com pany, president of Hopkins & Allen Arms company, and a director of l.. s. Starrett company.
 In addition he finds time to work in the Presbyterian church and the Y. M. c. A. MT McGregor is also mem Der of the A. S. M E.

Rev. A. W. Burdon Speaks on The Use of a crisis-G. E. Swanton Pre- sented Watch and Chain-Personais and Notes.

At the Federated church Sunday evening large congregation heard Rev, A. w Burdon deliver an inter | estiI-g sertnon on The Use of Crisis. | The speaker took his text from Acts 16: 25-33 Rev MT. Burdon said in part:
 The story given us regarding the use the apostles made of a very critical period teaches us the need of steadi- ness of thought and action in the face of d great emergency.
 The crisis was not in accepting the call to Macedonia, not yet in the mir acle that set a poor misguided girl free from a shameful bondage. Neither was it in the stripes laid upon thenl.- Noi Not even when cast into prison.>&
 The crisis came to those men when
 the Majesty of Power by the word of His might set the earth aquake, open ed doors, broke bars and cut the bands
 asunder. offering freedom. It was in this place they were called upon to show the stuff they were made of, and history informs us they used this crisis to the glory of God.
 If you follow the story leading to
 the climax of a broken life you prob came that that life lacked backbone, moral fibre. anda little common sense when 5steadiness of thought and action was called for.
 This critical time comes to the young man early in life. One set calls him to aspire to win a place in the world of real men. The other set invites him to became an addle-pated, tango ing nincompoop whose only thought~fs the passing moment. He accepts the latter, and in after years will give as a reason for failure the set he mingled with. Not so. He failed in the face of emergency. The world will make us just what we want to be. Say to the world: Make me pure, holy and high principled, and the world has no choice if we make use of the crisis leading to high things.
 If we use this critical time to be- come mean. low principIed, with stom- achs groveling in the dust. then it will mean the world has it's place for such as we may become.
 when, to escape the case of a sheI- tered home. or the grind of the store, shop or office, she flies to a loveless marriage, only to find a bondage that is living hell. Steadiness of thought and action in such a crisis would mean more happiness and happy homes My thought is to use the crisis that comes for good. You are meeting it tonight; and if 1t means that you must decide whether you will or will not continue in a given course, my queS- tion is what are you going to do with the man called Christ
 And the urge of my soul says to give you this message: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved Make use of the crisis tonight.
