Reduced Fares on All Lines of Travel JOHN G. KENT, ROBT. FLEMING, 1-0 the >vi;le Ontario) parently ill favour of acceding proposition endorsed "unanimously" but after a good deal of oral sniping by the Federation of Teachers in Toronto yesterday, that is to say, to raise a fund to support western teachers on strike. It was impossible to reach all teachers here but with a number seen there were decidedly The negative view was based the assumption that the people might very well look out for themselves. A despatch from Toronto |j After considerable discus: the question of raising an "emergency fund" by the assessment of every member, the Canadian Teachers' Federation, at its closing session last evening unanimously adopted a resolution recommending the reimbursing of the teachers of the Western Frovinces who have suffered financial loss uuring the recent strikes. The text of the resolution was as follows: Whereas certain Canadian teachers have suffered a severe financial loss in standing for principles for which the C.T.F. stands, we therefor recommend that tre Executive of the C.T.F.i reimburse equitably those teachers through their Provincial or-ganlz "nns as soon as the funds are At the present time the federation has no funds available for this purpose as it has been in existence only for a year, this being its first annual meeting. RESERVE FUND CONSIDERED The question of what amounted to a strike fund was introduced by a resolution from the Alberta Teachers' Alliance, proposing that every member of the organizations affiliated with the Canadian Teachers' Federation le assessed one dollar as a reserve fund for contingencies. The Ontario delegates were opposed to the establishment of anything in the nature of a "strike fund". Mi--,s Arbuthnot suggested that a resolution be prepared and sent out to the Provincial organizations for consideration. She stated that the #ntario Federation has no power to assess its members, bu: she was sure that the teachers of that Province would be just as liberal as those of any other province and would be read" to bear their share in supporting any fund for the assistance of teachers who were standing for the principles of the Federation.

Hull, tl Tho Edmonton Bulletin, the situation in Alberta caused by the United Farmers' success, points cut that the victory was complete, and that it will not be necessary f.r the new Government which Mr. [ler-bert Greenfield has been chosen to lead, to make concessions from principle to preserve harmony among dis-ig factions of its support. The :i adds that the new adminis-will be master of the situat-?e to administer with a single the public welfare; and if the :e does not get. another era of m expenditure and moderate ion, it will be because the United lers do not.want to pursue that of a policy, not because factional ngencies compel them.to waste the substance of the public.

B. Pearce on the post office premises and of Mr. J. E. Roxburgh on the premises occupied by the Department of Agriculture. These properties had been left off the roll until this year when Assessor Cuth-bertson was ordered by the Council to assess them. Only the two previous years taxes can be collected according to statute, and we understand Judge Huycke has recommended that payment of these be not exacted" Judge Huycke's ruling confirms the assessment, on which municipal t must be paid, on government offices occupying premises owned by private parties.

NEVER IN TRAIN OR AUTO . Kingston, Aug. 15--Samuel Scher-merhorn, Livingston avenue, celebrated his 95th birthday on Saturday. He has lived a happy and contented life in this district and was never farther than sixty miles ■ from this city. He went as far as Trenton once but has never been in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, or other metropolitan centres. He went farming when a young man and engaged in this work at the village of Odessa near this city until he was eighry years old. He has lived under five British Sovereigns, George IV., Wil-" im IV., Victoria, Edward VII., and sbrge V. Strange to say, Mr. hermerhorn has never been inside a lailway coach nor an aute le. He has been content to let the >iid go on its way without grasping every device that -man has made for modern convenience. He was >r on a steamboat- outside of tatk-[i trip on the ferry from Kingston to Wolfe Island. He has never been sick more than ree days in his life. Out of the thousands of people ne has known " >re arc only eight who have lived long as he has. He says he never took more than eight hours sleep, has r indulged in strong drink or smoked, and can eat well. He is a Methodist and for forty-three years hile at the village of Odessa attend-chur'ch service twice each Sunday, ben he started farming he had to t the grain with a scythe and gather it with a rake. He recalls whem lotatoes were so cheap that he had o bj-ing them home from market as ie could not get 25 cents a bag and lso tells about returning home with 400-pound hog because he was not ffered $5 a hundred-weight for it.
