At the close of the opening busi- ness session of-the eleventh annual meeting of Diocesan W. A. held in St. Paul's parish hall, Regina, Thurs- day-morning an official said: It pro- mises to be the most successful as well as largely attended annual gath- ering in the history of Diocesan W. A. a The hall was almost filled by Jad- ies who followed the proceedings with the closest attention. There was almost 100 present from ontside points, amongst these being Mrs, Ire- land'and Mrs. Mills of Medicine Hat. Mrs, J. R. Peverett presided and with her on the platform were the Diocesan officers and others taking part in the program. Ww. A 1,497 from 20 membership of 259. ches have been added this year.

A most pleasing feature was hear- ing letters of greeting for the W. A. on the occasion of the annual meet- ing from Mrs. Grisdale, Miss Carter, jer, some saying that he has a brain of his own and others alleging that such gray matter as goes into the concoction of Collier s Weekly eman- ates from. the massive brow of Mr. Norman Hapgood. As the selection of the riglt sort of assistants marks the diff rence between success and failure in the publishing business, and is a job requiring djs crimina- tion of a high order, the, question seems to settle itself. Mr, Collier. is a native of New York City, where he was born thirty-six years ago today, June 17, 1876. Like his very dear friend, Mr. Hearst, he inherited a fortuns The. big book fid magazine publishing house was founded: by + Peter Fenelon Collier, who was born in County Car- low, Ireland, in 1849, and-died in 1904. Under the founder the house of Coll- fer -was a subscription book concern with a weekly newspaper annex. Since the son took charge which was back in the year of the Spanish war the reverse has become true. and Colliet's has made more friends and enemies. than any other journal of its class, Young Mr. Collier has many hobbies, including eutomobil- erous, and he was the leader in the movement for the preservation of the Lincoln farm in Kentucky as a nat- ional memorial. Politically Mr., Collier is registered as a Republican and he an Irish- man but in the editorial utterances ot his publication he or Mr. Hap- good reflects the spirit of insur- gency of the most-surging variety, re- gardiess of party lines. LEEEEPE EEE EES + IRVINE NEWS. - PEE EEE hE EH Miss Emma Dinkle, who has been il with scarlet fever, has had to un- dergo an operation. She is progress- ing favorably. Messrs. H. C. Yuill, Arbuckle and Pettet were in town on Monday on business. We understand that Messrs Yuill and, Pettit have purchased the Howland Addition Townsite. Irvine real estate evidently appeals to these gentlemen as a good investment and they are certainly qualified judges. Mr. L. B. Cochran of Medicine Hat The chief business of the morning was the presentation of the Diocesan reports. branches, 13 new ones having been formed this year, and three girls branches. Regret was expressed for the re- moval by death of two of the secre- taries, Mrs, Pearson of Whitewood and Mrs. Cochran of Medicine Hat. Mrs. McKinnon of Sedley, Dorcas secretary, had the good news that 17 valuable and much appreciated bales had been sent out by the different societies of the Diocese during the year. Miss Ethel Gordon, leaflet secre- tary, stated that there are now 246 subscribers to the leaflet. Mrs. 8, Spencer Page had a splen- prayor, delvering a helpful addres did report on behalf of the Junior general treasurer, We -Generat Board; and the Diocesan societies of Niagara, Quebec, Rupurt's Land, Columbia nad Toronto, Canon Hill cohducted the noontide Luncheon was served in the lower floor of the. hall, the afternoon ses- sion opening at two o'clock. Great interest was centred in an impressive address by Rural Dean Calder, Diocesan collector, in which he presented an eloquent appeal for the support of the members of the W. A. for the proposed new St. Chad s Theological College. The Bishop of Qu Appelle made cheerful announcements regarding the building of a chapel connected with the college. A person interest- ed in church work, he said, had some little time ago sent a cheque for 5,000 and he had received 500 more from another interested party in that connection.

As the son of an Irishman and a Catholic, Mr. Collier was educated at Georgetown University in Washing- ton, with post-graduate courses at Harvard and Oxford University. His active connection with the publish- ing business began in 1898, when he inaugurated the art and news feat- ures-of- oliter's, while atthe same time he insisted upon a higher Mter ary standard than had prevailed. Since the death of the elder Collier he has been the president and prin- cipal owner of the concern.

(Special to the News) Athens, Ga., June 15 One-of the largest classes ever graduated from the University of Georgia since the Institution was established more than 125 years ago will receive diplomas at this year s camniencement. The exercises of commencement week will begin tomorrow with the baccal- aureate sermon by Rev. W, L. Pick- ard of Savannah. The address at the graduation exercises Wednesday will be delivered by Judge J. H. Lump- kin of the Georgig supreme court. There is much difference of opin- fon among the gentlemen of the Fourth Estate as to who was the or- iginal yellow Journalist. For my part I am inclined to think that the credit is to be given, or respon sad- dled upon, -Witttam D. Boyce, of Chi- cago, publisher of those well known family weeklies, the Sxturday Blade and Chicago Ledger. Having acquir- ed a fortune from the retailing of scandal, firerder and sudden -death, Mr. Boyce of late years has become more sober and staid, and has engag- ed in such laudable journalistic en- terprises as a selentific exp dition by balloon over darkest Africa, and a tour of Latin-America designed to acquaint the people of North Amer- was in town on Tuesday evening re- 7 : lica with information as to how the newing acquaintances with the Irvii- other half lives. In the old days, however, the. Boyce publications were always about two jumps ahead of St, Anthony Comstock, William D. Boyce was born in Al- ago today, and was reared on a farm. His education, commenced in the schools of his native balliwack, was polished off at Wooster University, Ohio. In 1881 he removed to Chicago an became an advertising solicitor for a monthly magazine. Next we find him as a book agent in Minnes- ota, seeking subscribers for an in- dustrial history. A short experience ag the editor and publisher of a coun- try newspaper in Dakota added much to his experience, but little to his pocketbook, so he tried a whirl at pol- ities. In 1884, during the Cotton Ex- position in St. Louis, he organized a news bureau. Returning to Chicago he established a patent insides pub- Ushing house, supplying a large num- ber of country newspapers with boll- er plate, innards. A similiar business in Winfield, Kan., was quite success- ful. The Saturday Blade was establish- ed in Chicago by Mr. Boyce in co-op- eration with two eastern newspaper men, For a time it doddered along, barely paying expenses, and finally the publication was turned over to Mr. Boyce, who had taken no active part In its management, for a mere song. Immediately the weekly began to feel the thrill of life along its keel. Mr. Boyce produced a publication that was a combination of Mr Rich- ard K. Fox's Police Gazette, the back- W.

If all the men and boys, scattered throughout the west- ern part of the United States and who haye started their busi- ness careers by selling the Saturday Blade, could be assembled, they would make an immense army. In the eguy-days the Blade staff was compofed off exchange readers, rewrite editors, and an artist or two, and they ransacked the press of the world for accounts of the risque, the sensational, the horrible, the scandal- ows and the spicy. These stories were embellished by the Blade editors and illustrated by the Blade artists and served piping hot by Blade newsboys y town and hamlet west of It was a tame and disap- pointing Blade that did not contain half a dozen pictures af a man shoot- ing or-stabbing a woman with the leatiorietotha secretary ay Tegheny county, Pa,, fitty-two years tady preferably tn her nighty-gown.
