"Oh, what do you think the angels say Said the children up In heaven; "There la a dear Utile girl cumins home today.

She's almost ready to fly away From the earth we used to live In; Let's go and open the gates pearl, Open them wide for the new little girl, Said the children up In heaven. "God wanted her here where his little ones meet," Said the children up In heaven; "She shall play with us In the golden street; She has grown too fair, she has grown too sweet For the earth we-used to live in; Che needed the sunshine, the dar lit-tl girl. That gilds this side of the gates of pearl," Said the children up In heaven. "So the King called down from the angels dome," Said the children up In heaven; "My little darling, arise and come To the place prepared In the Father's Tiome, The home the children lie In." Let's go and watch the gates of pearl. Ready to welcome the new little girl," Said the children up In heaven.

"Far down on the earth, do you hear them weep?" I Paid the children up in heaven; "For the dear little girl has gone to sleep! The shadows fall and the night clouds i sweep O'er the earth we used to live In; But we'll go and open the gates of pearl! Oh, why do thev weep for their dear little girl?" Said the children up In heaven. "Fly with her quickly, angels, dear!" Said the children up In heaven; "See she is coming! look there! look there! At the Jasper light In her sunny hair. Where the veiling clouds are riven!" Ah! hush. hush, hush! All the swift wings furl! For the King himself, at the gates of pearl. Is taking her hand, dear, tired little girl.

And is leading her Into heaven. Edith Gilllng Cherry, In the Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Music and Drama THE WAI.KKIl WKEK Nothing succeeds like success, and are two of these, to be present at the Walker theatre during the fortnight of the Industrial Exhibition. The first attraction, a lively one at that. Is "The Real Thing." In which Henrietta Crossman has made one of the highest comedy hits of her rareer. But the engagement of this fine actress Is all too brief, only lasting from Monday until Wednesday nights of next the balance of the fortnight being taken up by a return visit of "The Spring Maid," that sparkling musical comedy which achieved such a pronounced success here a few months a 40.

Pretty Mlzzl Hajos still dominates the production with her and a new comedian. Chas. McXaugh-ton. is expected to become as popular here as he Is In the "old country." This engagement marks the close of the ehort summer season, and the theatre will remain vacant until August 6, when the regular fall season will be ushered In by Margaret Illlngton and her successful drama. "Kindling." "Here for a long stay," was the unanimous verdict of the critical au dlences that greeted the opening bill of the Mabel Le Monale Musical Com edy company at the Grand yesterday afternoon and evening.

"The Jolly Widow" Is a clean musical comedy replete with tuneful mel odies, dances of the first Quality, com edy of the legitimate style, and scen ery and wardrobe can easily be comrored to the first class road at tractions. An excellent cast of prln pals fresh from some of the leading metropolitan successes, and an all- star chorus go to make up as clever an aggregation as we have had the 1 pleasure of seeing for some time. The management has arranged for a sensation for every Friday night of their stay here, this being the chorus girls contest. All of the large cities of the U. S.

are now making this the feature of their performances, and are causing quite a furore among the patrons of their houses. In this contest each and every girl In the chorus gives a vaudeville act which has hoen done on many of the large circuits, so all those attending the performance at the Sherman Grand on Friday will see two ulg shows for the one price of admission. Next week starting with the matl-ness on Monday the company will present the musical comedy scream, 'Mary Jane's Hallowe'en," made for laughing purposes only and guaranteed to suit the most fastidious.

Mr. Cochrane, Is also in the party. The party is travelling by special train, the minister having the Dominion government car Nlplsslng. The other members of the party are accommodated In special cars of the Grand Trunk I'aclrlo railway. Speaking of the west, the minister showed great interest In its transportation problems.

He thought farmers would soon come to realize that they must assume some of the responsibility for storing some of their grains at homo. "It is unlikely." he said, speaking of railway facilities, "that any blockade such as occurred last year will hip-pen again this fall. The railways have been making a determined effort to avoid such a misfortune, and 1 am Inclined to think they have really accomplished a great deal. The Grand Trunk particularly Is in fine shape. It should be remembered that the were at least two weeks late last year, and also that there were other special conditions conducing to the blockade." Western Tour In Western Canada, Hon.

Mr. Cochrane and party will follow the Itinerary published In yesterday's Tribune exclusively. A press dispatch from Montreal which claims Port Nelson had been chosen as the terminus of the Hudson's Bay Railway, was denied by Mr. Cochrane. He thought It very Improbable that such a decision could be reached without his knowledge or concurrence.

As soon as the minister of railways arrived in the city yesterday, he went into conference with Hon. Robert Rogers and he a couple of busy days before polng on his western trip tomorrow. The party are guests at the Roy.U Alexandra hotel.

D.D., president of the council of the Unl- varsity of Manitoba, Is a native of tho pariah of Klldonnr, here he wis born I In 1852.

His father, the late Johnj' Matheson, was one of Lord Selklrlt'r; settlers, and a member of the party that, came to the historic settlement I on tho 1 banks of the R-d' river In 1814. Catherine Prltchard, his mother, was a daughter of John Prltchard, also a 'Iktrk settler, rind who estab- I llshed the first boarding scho-l In the settlement at which a number of old Hudson's Bay company oftVolals were educated. His son. Samuel Prltchard. afterwards had charge of the school.

In lstiB Mr. Prltchard transferred this school to St. Johns college. At this school Archbishop Matheson received his early education under Kev. S.

Prltchard. his uncle, afterwards attending St. Paul's parish church school, Mnldlechurch. He also took a season at St. Paul's parish school under James Harper and 'Alexander Rons.

In 1 S6 he entered St. John's College school, Winnipeg, where he continued his studies, lie graduated I as Bachelor of Divinity from the I n-verslty of Manitoba In 1879. He was headmaster of St. John's school for many years. Afterwards he was rip-pointed to a professorship in St.

John's college In exegetlcal theology and In Hebrew. For a number of years he had charge of the matriculation, i.nrt II. classes, nt this college, besides doing some of the other teaching work such a sclasslcs. St. John's Graduates St.

John's College school has always had a very good record not only for Its standard of scholarship, but also for athletics. It numbers among its graduates men like Hon. John Nor-quay and A. K. Isbister.

Isblster 8lso did Invaluable work In drawing attention to the colony In the early days of the settlement In the Red River valley. Mr. Isbister had completed his education in England and was for some time head of the College of Preceptors. Archblshon Matheson has been a member of the council ot the Unlver- ARCHBISHOP MATHESON President of Manitoba University slty of Manitoba almost since Its es tablishment, and hue also been a member of the board of studies.

Tha College St.

John's college has been from the first one of the colleges affiliated to the University of Manitoba, having a separate faculty ot theology for con ducting the theological examinations required by Its students for tne decree of L.Th or B.D. While Its primary object Is to provide young men with adequate training for the minlstery, it Is a thoroughly equipped arts college, preparing its students lor all the uni versity examinations In arts. The col lege school for boys alms at giving a sound elementary education In all branches, preparing Its pupils for ma triculation in the university or for commercial work. At present both Institutions are carried on In the same building, situated in spacious grounds In St. John's, North Winnipeg, and provided with modern improvements, and electric light.

When the proposed new college Is erected the present building will be entirely devoted to the school. Among the prominent clerevmen who have graduated from the college are Bishop Richardson of Frederick-town and Bishop Anderson of Mooso-nee. Probably the oldest surviving graduate Is Venerable Archdeacon Macdonald. known for his translations of the Bible and Prayer Book In the leukund tongue, an" who spent many years among the Teukuhd Indians in the Mackenzie and Peel river districts as a missionary, and has Just com pleted a dictionary of the Teukuhd language. Old Girl Votes The following Interesting account of St.

John's college appeared some time ago in the Western Churchman: "In 1820. the Rev. John West ar rived in the country. Shortly after his arrival he established a school at wnat Is now St. John's.

Rev. DavM Jones, on coming out from England, In 1823, took the school under his management, and greatly extended its operations. It was not. however, until the arrival of Rev. John MacAllum In 1831 that the subject of higher education was really taken ud.

Uo ta mis time notning beyond a common school education was attempted, but under Mr. MacAllum the school at St. John's assumed a different aspect, and began to partake more of the na ture of a high school. To indicate the advance In the standing of the school. It ceased to be called St.

John's school and took the more retentlous name of tne Ked River -Academy. It was largely patronized by sons of officers of the Hudson's Bay company who were thus spared the trouble and expense of going abroad for their education. During a considerable porttoT of this period Mr. Lumsden was associated with the work of the school as resident tutor. The headmaster, Mr.

MacAllum. was In every rtspect splendidly adapted for the position held. He was a man of scholarly attainments, and combined with these excellent disciplinary powers and a rare tact. Good Results It was not to be wondered at that under such a man the academy produced good results. The study of classics and mathematics was taktm up and prosecuted with vigor, and many men or more than ordinary scholarships were turned out of the academy at that time.

Among tv most distinguished of these may be mentioned the late Dr. A. K. Isbister, to whose munificent liberality Manitoba university owes so much for her scholarship funds. On going to Eng-land Mr.

Isbister showed that he could more than hold his own with men of luoie privileged lands, and the honors which were conferred upon him bv the English universities are an evidence of the excellent training which he received from the Red River academy. The Inte Inspecting Factor WIN Ham Mc.Murray, the late Chief Factor William Hardlsty, Chief Factor Bell and the late Senator Hardlstv were students of the academy at the time, as were also the late Hector Mc-Kenzie and many others.

Phone Main have all occupied prominent positions In the country, and they reflect credit upon an Institution which in those early days of the country's history! could have so fitted them for these positions, Nam Changes In 1849 Bishop Anderson arrived In the country. Two or three days before his arrival at Fort Garry, M. I MacAllum was called to his rest, anu one of the bishop's first duties was to perform the last rites at the funeral of the man who had done so much to further the Interests of higher education in this new land. The bishop himself for a' time assumed charge of the academy, having under him an assistant, Rev. Thomas Cochrane.

The bishop chanted the name of the academy- into which the Institution has since borne, namely, St. John's college. It was apparently the blsh-op'B intention to make the college a place for the training of catechists and clergymen for work in the mission field of the church, and several young men who were admitted with that end in view were afterwards ordained missionaries. In 1850 Rev. George Pridham was appointed principal of the college, and occupied the position for four years.

Under Bishop Anderson's regime, the college flourished for seven years, and that period In its history can point to the names of several distinguished alumni of the institution. Old Scholars The Rev. Archdeacon Macdonald. whose name Is so well and favorably known in connection with the Church of England missions In that distant diocese of Mackenzie river, was at that time a scholar of the college. The late Hon.

John Norquay, for so many years the honored premier of his native pronce; Colin McKenzie, formerly superintendent of education In llritish Columbia; Colonel Coldwell of Cambridge, England; the late ex-Mayor Logan, the late Dr. C. J. Bird, speaker of the legislative assembly; the late James Ross, and many otheTs received their education at SfT John's college underr Bishop Anderson. When the bishop went to England in 1858 the college was closed and remained so for many years.

On November 1. 1866, It was revived under the present head, the Archbishop of Rupert's Land. Dr. MacLean, afterwards Bishop of Saskatchewan, was appointed warden. Rev.

S. Prltchard, who himself had been conducting a private academy Tor some years was no wassodated with the college as English master, and brought with him his band of pupils. The archbishop also regularly took classes In mathematics and theology. Changes Since that time various changes have taken place In the personnel of the teaching staff. When Dr.

Mac- Lean was appointed to the Diocese of Saskatchewan, the archbishop himself assumed the wardenshlp, which he has retained ever since. The archbishop has been all along the friend and patron of the college, and few will ever know arid none will ever be able to measure what St. John's owes to the archbishop. Mainly through his efforts various endowments have been obtained to secure to the college a competent professoriate. a ripe scholar and coming direct from the educational atmosphere of no less a centre than the great Unlverr-ity of Cambridge, he has Inspired St.

John'B with a spirit which has been the secret of Its truest success. Few Institutions In a new country like ours have the rare good fortune or having the fostering and self-denying care of such a man. The work of the college under its present management is too well known In tha country to require much comment. During the period since 1866 the numbers among Its alumni, among many others such clergymen as the following can be named: The Rev. S.

Prltchard, the Rev. George Bruce, the Rev. G. Cook, Venerable Archdeacc George McKay, the Rev. Canon Fleti the Rev.
