Brandon, May 19. Walter Gordon, who has but a month more to live Is undergoing the hard trial during the somewhat long time between his conviction and his execution, like a man. Without exception those who have come in contact with him, his spiritual adviser Rev. E. A.

Henry, religious workers and also his gaolers have nothing but praise for his conduct and great strength of character. He is in good health and continues to sleep well. The latter was not true at the time of his trial; yet both facts 'go to prove, in the minds of the best judges here, Gordons saneness of mind and his strong will. Owing 'to the latter, few signs of emotion could he detected during the trial, but the. opposite was the case when Gordon "was alone with his spiritual adviser; then it wax -that Gordons -humaneness and the keenness with which--he felt his position, showed clearly.

He Is fully prepared to meethis fate, perfectly resigned to it and acknowledges the entire, justice of the. penalty -which- he will pay on June 20. It Is not yet known whether the prisoners mother will come west to fee him. Is rather inclined not to favor it, fearing she will not stand the. trial of meeting.

SL: John, who went up to Yorkton to. trial for alleged theft of a watch -from, -a former employer' at Yorkton, was honorably acquitted.

Mills. RADCLIFFE EXPECTED Probable Will Sala-. mon, the Although the day that Salomon, the Galician murderer will, swing' "rapidly approaches, as yet there does, not seem to-be many preparations made-in the erection of the scaffold. -It rls likely that Radcliffes services wili be engaged' and If so; he will' probably arrive very soon, it Is his custom to be in a town a few days before the execution takes place. He superintends the erection of the scaffold Radcliffe is an employee, of the Dominion government and gets an allowance of $800 a year.

Besides this the sheriff of the district who employ him pay him for hls Radcliffe Is a curious character and if a murderer refuses to shake hands with him before the ceremony this has happened a couple of times he is so nervous that he is almost unable to perform his work.

Calvin died, 1564. John Calvin, one of the most eminent of the reformers of the Kith century, -was born at -Noyon, In Picardy, on the 10th oi July; 1509. His father, Gerard 'or Calvin, was procur-eur-flscal of the district of Noyon, and secretary of the diocese; He was one of six children four sons and two daughters. The reformer, while still only 12 years of age, was appointed to a chaplaincy In the cathedral church of Noyon. This he held as a means of support during the period of hls education, and even some abort time after he had entered on his reforming career.

Very different estimates, It may be Imagined, have been formed of Calvins character, according to the point of view from which Is contemplated. None, however, can lispute his intellectual greatness, or. the powerful services which he rendered to the cause of Protestantism. Stem In spirit, and unyielding- in he is never selfish and petty in hls motives. Nowhere amiable, he is everywhere strong.

Arbitrary and cruel when it suits him, he Is yet heroic in his alms, and beneficent in the scope of his ambition. He was at once the great theologian of the Reformation, and the founder of a new church polity, which did more than all other Influences together to consolidate tho scattered forces of the Reformation, and give them an enduring strength. As a religious teacher, as a social legislator, and as a writer, especially of the French language, then in process of formation, hls fame is second to none in hls age, and must always conspicuously adorn the history of Calvin died.
