EARLE, Esq., on the premises, South Side, during the past winter, was launched on Saturday evening last. Hundreds of people gathered and had the pleasure of watching her glide gracefully into the water without a hitch. The Undine is a good model, strongly built, and will make a good conditioned fishing craft. After the launch Mr. EARLE entertained the builder and other laborers, in the "Cook-room", to an abundant repast; which was not only gratifying to the "inner man" but elicited the laborer's appreciation of the man whose hospitality they shared.

June 10, 1905	Personals	Mrs. HITHCOCK of St. John's arrived per "Portia" yesterday. Mr FURNEAUX was over this week from Round Harbor in a vessel for salt, and reports a good sign of codfish on the Cape Shore. The SS. "Strathcona", Dr. GRENFELL's D.S. Mission yacht, bound for Labrador, with the Doctor, assistant and nurse, on board, was in this port on Wednesday last.

ELLIOTT, of Pittsburg, USA, formerly of Crow Head, Twillingate, and Miss Sarah LUNNEN of this town. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Canon TEMPLE.

June 10, 1905	Another Pulp Mill	Negotiations are now being conducted with parties in this country, by an American Syndicate of New York, with a view of erecting another pulp mill here. By the "Rosalind," due at the end of the week, one of the principals of the corporation will arrive in the city, to consult with the agents here, and with an expert, will then visit some of the timber areas around Bonavista and Notre Dame Bays, with a view to purchasing them for the production of pulp wood. - Telegram, May 30th.
June 10, 1905	Labor Unrest	The Machinists who were locked out at Angel's and the Moulders who went out at the Consolidated Foundry, are still determined to hold out, even though they have to leave the country, as some few of them have already done. The Machinists working at the Reid-Nfld Company's premises, will submit their terms to the Manager of the dock to-day, who will be asked to sign the conditions. Work on several buildings is suspended or delayed for want of iron fittings. The building contractors are beginning to complain over the prospect, and are ardently hoping for an early settlement of the trouble. They are now talking of petitioning the Government to take the duty off iron castings, etc., so that as they cannot buy them here, they may be able to import them at a reasonable price, and then go ahead with their projected summer's work. It is a pity that a settlement cannot be arrived at between the men and their employers. It is thought by many that if somebody high in respect and authority would offer to arbitrate on the trouble, that it could be settled. - Telegram, May 30th
June 10, 1905	Shipping News	The "Ingraham," Capt. Lewis YOUNG, called here this morning for coal on her way to Labrador (as far as Holton) with 70 men, dealers of Mr. Charles DAWE, who go up to take cod-trap berths on different parts of the coast.

November 25, 1905	The Herring Situation (Part 1)	While American papers are using up their editorial space on the Herring situation, reasoning only from the standpoint of self-interest, giving the reading world the weighty arguments of the spoiled child, and their fishing bosses are looking down upon Nfld fishermen as a lot of hungry paupers, who must have American gold or be reduced to raw-boned poverty, and the Canadians are ruining the courtship of a little cheap trade, and the political agitators on the West Coast are trying to encite the people there against the BOND Government, for demanding of the Yankees, fair play and equal concessions, the fishermen of Scotland are quietly pursuing their avocation disposing of their herring at from twenty to fifty shillings a cran, green as they come from the net. The packers carefully cure the fish in decent packages, sending them off to Russia, Germany and other places where they sell readily, netting a handsome margin of profit after all expenses are paid. A cran measures about 36 gallons, just a little larger than our barrels for which our fishermen receive from eighty cents of one dollar and twenty-five cents when sold from the net. Of course the treaty situation repeats the old, old story of British sufferings, through the ambiguity of an ancient document, drafted by our forefathers. We are not responsible for the situation created thereby, but we have to endure, for the end is not yet, unless the Americans get cleansed from their improper and unreasonable selfishness.
November 25, 1905	The Herring Situation (Part 2)	They swear that the only correct interpretation of the treaty is that which gives them all the advantages and concessions. Our Government, with equal firmness, hold a different view, and although the Americans know full well that the treaty of 1818 is capable of being understood in the sense in which we regard it, yet they will not yield a point, but on the contrary, attempt a crusade of evasion, and at the present moment there is a protest from the Nfld. Government, before the Imperial authorities, against violations by the American fishing bosses. Well, weak and poor as we may be regarded, we are not going to be bullied into submission by the offsprings of Uncle Sam. Tho' we may not be able to put on all the pressure we would, we shall tighten the screw to its last possible thread. But why waste time arguing with the Americans or condescend to accept the miserable price they, or the Canadians, are offering for our herring, when there are millions of dollars more in the industry if enterprised upon the lines of the Scotch prosecution and cure. Newfoundland is as well able to land herring in Russia and Germany as Scotland is, and even after deducting the extra freight charges, covering the greater distance, there could be a large profit even if our fishermen were paid three times the amount per barrel they now get for herring sold from the net.
November 25, 1905	The Herring Situation (Part 3)	Are there no enterprising men in this land of ours who will interest themselves in our herring fishery applying the energizing force of the more modern methods? Why should we continue in the old rut, until the trumpet closes the world's day and then wake, to find we have made a mistake by disregarding the newer way. Why should our people be satisfied with the old method which gives them from 80 cents to $1.25 per barrel for herring, while the Scotchmen are getting from twenty to fifty shillings a cran for theirs, and the Americans can sell the herring they get so cheaply in this country, at as high as twenty-five cents per dozen. We can never hope to get more than $3 a barrel, at the highest, for our herring as at present packed, for the wooden hooped leaky packages are against us. The sight of the packages, which sometimes reach market, spoils the sale of our herring. The wooden hoops will not hold against rough handling, and our barrels reach market almost hoopless and without pickle, and the wonder is they fetch a bid when in such a condition. While other countries are paying the greatest attention to the cure of their food stuffs, putting up in the most convenient and tempting package, we continue the old way, and some even regard the suggestion for improvement as an uncalled for reflection.
November 25, 1905	Death	We chronicle the much regretted death of Mr. J.B. HOWSON, J.P. of Pilley's Island, who was called to his rest on Wednesday, having succumbed to pneumonia. He was ill but a week, having first caught a cold during a long night awaiting arrival of a steamer with freight. Mr. HOWSON was well and favorably known in this bay, having for years had charge of stores, during the flourishing days, at Little Bay mine. Afterwards he was appointed District Land Surveyor, and this spring, bought our Mr. Charles TUCKER, and since has been doing a large business on that premises at P.I. A good man, of a large sympathetic heart, whose many acts of kindness will be missed in the circle in which he lived. To the widow and family we extend our deepest sympathy.
November 25, 1905	Death	Our death column records the decease of Mrs. WATERMAN, of Poole, England, a lady well known by the people of this place for her many genuine traits of character. Her visits to Twillingate, in days gone by, were frequent. She was sister of Mr. R.D. HODGE.
November 25, 1905	Marriage	A pretty wedding took place at the N.S. Methodist Church on Wednesday evening last, the contracting parties being Miss Dora LOVERIDGE, (daughter of Mr. Geo. LOVERIDGE of this town,) to Mr. Edward SMALL of Tizzard's Hr., the Rev. Chas. HOWSE officiating. After the ceremony was performed, the bridal party and guests retired to the residence of the bride's father, where a sumptuous repast was partaken of, and an enjoyable evening was spent. Mr. and Mrs. SMALL left per "Clyde," Thursday for their future home at Tizzard's Harbor. We extend to them the usual felicitations.

After the wedding guns were fired and a very nice tea held at the residence of the brides mother, The brides were the recipient of many useful presents.

November 25, 1905	Medicinal	Hot Onions For Pneumonia. Owing to the prevalence of pneumonia, and the great mortality which attended its ravages during the winter and spring, several boards of health in Northern New Jersey have been taking measures to protect the citizens of their towns from disease. The health board of Washington N.J., has published a remedy which is said to be a sure cure for pneumonia, and other health boards are looking into the matter with a view of having the same thing published for the good of the general public. This is the publication as it has appeared in the papers of Washington: - "Take six to ten onions, according to size, and chop fine, put in a large spider over a hot fire, then add the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to form a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, letting it simmer for five or ten minutes. Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs, and apply to the chest as hot as the patient can bear. In about ten minutes apply another and thus continue by re-heating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed to cure this, too-often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until the perspiration starts freely from the chest. This remedy was formulated many years ago by one of the best physicians New England has ever known, who never lost a patient by the disease, and won his renown by simple remedies. -- Ex.
November 25, 1905	The Fishery	Gloucester Herring Venture A Failure. We learn that a number of Gloucester vessels are abandoning the herring venture on the West coast, on account of the bad outlook for the venture this season, and also on account of the enhanced cost of obtaining herring. Few herrings are being taken, as so far they have not been found in a body in any of the Arms at Bay of Islands. Partly from natural causes, partly from artificial restrictions imposed by the Government on the privileges, outside of treaty rights, which Gloucester men have hitherto enjoyed; the salt herring venture this year is proving disastrous. - Telegram

CARTY, M.H.A., who has wired with respect to its disposition, and whether interment will take place in St. John's or the body be sent home. - Herald, 16th.
November 25, 1905	General Booth	Thirty years ago a physician told William BOOTH, founder and Generalissimo of the Salvation Army, that his life's work was about done, and he had better retire to a quiet country place, where if possible, there was good shooting and fishing. "I have had plenty of fishing since - for men," says the General, and "have had good shooting - at the devil."
