The Ridgetown Dominion, a conser- vative (paper, gives its party a heart-to-heart talk. Sometimes it is necessary to be candid with one's own, and the Ridgetown editor bas not spared his confreres. The Telegram is all off in the elec tion of a school board chairman by ballot, and there is no law now, or that can be passed, to prevent it. The people by the way are perfectly satis- fied with things as they are. The i are going to prac tice a little seli-denial for six weeks and see if they cannot raise $33,000 a week during that time. They can do it. Some people have lived high and become healthy on porridge and toast. Personation should be stopped by the returning officer at elections.

The medical health officer of Tor- onto writes to the press : "Travellers are daily coming into the city from districts infected with small-pox, and to avoid danger it is the duty of the people to get vaccinated." : It is the duty of the government to make its law as clear and operative as possible, and it is its duty, from its own fagm or depot or station, to see that a plentiful supply of pure vaccine is kept in stock at easily ae cessible points. The mayor of ope of Ontario's cities is seriously ill. from vaccination, and it may be that he is a sufferer from some impurity in the lymph. . Some time ago the chief medical health officer for the Dominion intim- ated that he had a recommendation to make upon the subject. Has he committed his views to paper ? Has he laid them before the government ? If so, what is being done about them.

The unparalled success of a popular novel, "The Right of Way " by Gil beri Parker, led the Harper's, by me thods peculiarly their own and pecu- liarly searching, to ascertain its cause. They advertised extensively for information as to why people came to read the book. The great publication house receiv- od nearly fifteen hundred replies. An analysis of them showed that over seven hundred people obtained and giver in the budget debate. The tory party and press in On tario says there is no surplus.

It was the press, therefore, that made this book, aud largely the men who write for it, and who have no object to serve but pass an honest opivion upon what they read. The book reviewer of the day is an artist in his place. He is not a judge = of good binding or printing merely, though he can pronounce upon them, but of the literature itself, its char acter and quality. Some of the larger papers now have their literary edi- tions, and they are to the average bookman the most interesting of all the publications. Adveriising of any kind must be done right if it is wo pay. It is not everyone who can write an "ad." that will catch the eve, that will ri- vet attention, that will stimulate peo- ple to think and act. The men who can do it are legion, however, and some of they live in Kingston. trifle with their reputation. The Ottawa chief of police reports that the police department was some- what lacking in demeanour and dis cipline during the last year, but with the police board as it is now counsti- tuted he hopes for better things.

Death of Milkman, Offered $100,~ 000--Spurned It. Washington, 27 ~<=James Al- man, who once refused a bribe of $100,000 to put poison in cream which he served to Abraham Lincoln, is dead in this city. He was a well-known and citizen, 'or 'mafly years he guarded careful- ly the fact that he was in any way mixed up with any plot or attempt on the life of president Lincoln, and only a few friends knew of the affair. Some months ago, however, he made the following statement : "I knew and loved Mr. Lincoln and thought at first that the offer of $100, to poison him was a joke. At that time | was running a dairy, OPPOSITION SMALL TALK. The Mail is distressed because Mr. Hoss' expenses to England last year were paid for by the province. And why not?

Frontenac hockeyists have returned from their trip to Pittsburg. Pa. Their defeat on Thursday night was due to the fact that they went on the ice after their long train journey. They simply couldn't play. as they were tired. On Friday night, the Kingston team, most of which con- sisted of intermediates and juniors, tied the Bankers, the best team in Pittsburg, the score being two to two. Then on Saturday night, the match with the P. A. C. team, on which are five Kingston hookeyists, also resulted in a tie, two' to two. An English sporting writer says: At no time for years past has boxing been at such a low ebb in England as at present. And the main cause is to be found in the fighters themselves. There is not to-day in all England a heavyweight pugilist who possesses a shadow "of championship form nor one who gives promise of developing into such form, There is a fortuve await ing the manager who can develop a truly English heavyweight champion. The British public, always a steady supporter of the ring, would hail such a champion with delight and accord him royal welcome. And his advent would at the same time give a won- derful. impetus to the whole pugilistic ame. Be that as it mav, | mm he love the near future will see boxing in Englaud take on a new lease of ie.

J. O'Donahue, of Anaconda, Mont., and Thomas P. Redmond , of Butte, Mont., together with lengthy shetches of their careers, in ~annection with the anmmouncement + their intertion to enter into part- nership in the dry goods business at Omaha, Neb. Herewith are given a 'ew extracts from the sketches pub- lished by Furnisher : "Wikh the close of this season D. J. O'Donshue will sever his connection with the Copper City commercial company, of Aneconda, Mount, with which house be bas been connected for the past four and a half years, to enter the retail business in Omaha, Neb., in partnership with Thomas P. Redmond, who, since, 1405, has been with the Hennéssy mercantile com- pany, of Butte, Mont., as buyer of silks, dress goods, linens, laces, flan: nels, ribbons, notions, ete. The 0': Donahue & Redihond company, which is to be the style of the new firm, will confine its operations to the sale of dry goods, millinery and children's garments, and. will have quarters in the new building of the W R. Ben- nett company, corner of Sixteenth and Harngy streets. . The new store will have a frontage of 132 fret on Six- teenth street, and 176 feet on Har. ney street, and will consist of a basement and four storeys. It will be of gray pressed brick, the. first storey being entirely of glass and iron. In thoroughly modern, a will = pres. One of these will be a gallery in the rear of the first floor, far the accem- modation of women and mothers with babies, with & competent maid in charge. On the third floor will be an up-to-date cafe. The many friends of both Mr. O'Donahie and Mr. Red- mond will learn with interest of their éntrance into the retail field as independent merchants, and the in asuguration of their business will be marked by a general wish for wnlimit- od - success among those who enjoy acquaintanceship with them. "This is not Mr. O'Donahue's first experience eifher as a dry goods re tailer or an Omaha business man. In 1852 he established a store in that city, which he sold out in 1890, In 1872, in partnership with his bro'her, he opened a store in Brockville, Ont., under the name O'Donshue Bros. which enterprise was conducted suc- cessfully for nine years. . "Thomas P. Redmond, Mr. 0'Dona- hue's pavtner, is a native of King- stom, Ont., and served his apprentice ship in the dry goods trade with Walsh and Steacy, of : that city. He went to Colorado in the early '90's, and at H. Z. Saloman's store, in Denver, he took charge of the silk and dress goods deparyments. In 1895 he was engaged by the Hennessy mer- cantile company, of Butte, Mont., to buy for similar departments, and from time to time had under his care the wash goods, linens, flannels, rib bons, silka, etc., departments. Mr, Redmond's rapid advancement speaks volumes for his skill and enterprise, and he may be looked upon as a val- uable associate to the veteran with whom he has joined forces." The Butte Miner also contains this flattering notice of Mr. Redmond's de- parture for Omeha : "Thomas P. Redmond is leaving Butte." For the past seven years he has successfully held the important position of manager and buyer for the silks, dress goods and domestic departments in Hemnessy's big store. Now he courts success in a business venture of his own. In leaving Butte Mr. Redmond will carry with him the best wishes of his hosts of friends and numerous business acquaintances, for he is universally popular. By his many courteous acts, enduri friendship and strict attention to all his duties, he has endeared himself to a very wide circle of friends." ' The Anaconda Standard contains a lengthy notice of a presentation to Mr. Redmond of a gold locket, set with diamonds, and containing this inscription : "Presented to T. P. Ral mond by his associates, January, 1802." Accompanying the locket 'was an artistically arran; booklet, con- taining the names Mr. Redmond's former associates, together with the facts touchi the presentation and giving a number of appropriate shket- en. Mr. Rodmond is a son of John Red mond, Division street, watchman Rockwood hospital for the insane, and a brother of A. V. Redmond, a student in science at 's. Mr, Redmond's many Kingston friends wish him etery suceess in bis new venture. He is at present in New York, purchasing a stock for his new business. REPORT IS DENIED. Declares That CAR.
