What can the board of health do to check the spread of measles ? ft is pot a disease of which some people are afraid, and the average father un mother are very well satisfied when their children have bad the disease and recovered from it fully. Out of it sometimes physical defects have grown, of course, and on that ac count there is objection to the spread when this can be prevented. The law is very clear upon the subject. "The disease is contagious, and so the law requires that one suffering from it shall be isolated, and the health de partment and the school teachers no- tifed so that they may take such pre- cautions against contact as the case demands. Evervone has not, however, a8 a member of the board of health declared, a copy of the law at his hand, and hence for the informa- tion of the people a summary of the law will be published at once. The fumber of children who are suffering from measles just now is said to be very large. The exact percentage can: not be ascertained because the medi- cal men are not generally in attend: ance. APOLOGY FOR DEFAULT. It is necessary that the conservative party should offer some apology for its non- participation in the local bye- election, but is not necessary that this apology should embody so much in- consistency as the resolution of fhe association involves. The resolution aforesaid announced that it would be unwise to nominate a oandidate for the byelection, for these reasons: (1) That the election had been sprung upon the electors ; and, (2) that she party was demoral- ized and unfit for the labors of the campaign. Now an election was to be expected. The seat was vacated by the eléotion of Mr. Harty to the commons. His revignation went to the local house on its opening and was acted upon at once. Ten days ago the writ was issued. Eloven days ago the liber- al candidate was nominated. A week ago the registration court was urgan ized. Its work would not have |ven undertaken bat the conservatives de cided that they would not enter the coutest. But now--or on the eve of the election--it is stated that there will not be an opposition candidate. Why ? Because they had not as much time a8 the liberals for action? No. De cause they thought the city could get along without a member for ay least two months ! No. Because there was a scarcity of candidates? No. Be cause the challenge, if accepted, would have been an imposition on the party ? No. The commons election had pro- duced such a wreck of things there was no hope of success, and it was not deemed expedient to sacrifice an- other man as Mr. Metcalfe had been. So the bye-election has gone by de- fault, and Mr. Pense has been elected by aclamation. That the govern ment's policy is the correct one will be generally adsitied. Had the city been left unrepresented the govern- ment would have been blamed and von: sured. Had the registration of voters been dispensed with, and an election taken, place, how the . conservatives would have stormed ! In any case, in any event, there was bound to he fault finding, and the party must be conceded this when all other favours are denied it. / A GREAT RAILWAY'S PLANS.

If we cannot get a site in Montreal we shall go elsewhere, and it would be a great loss to Montreal. Montreal would in that case lose not only the new shops which we propose building in order to consolidate the works, but it would lose the existing workshops, which we would take somewhere cise. That is what we shall have to do if the pro- perty owners insist upon the price that they bave been asking for the property." All this points to a great expansion of business at some given centre. The places that have built upon the rail: way industries, that may have bonus- ed them in order to secure their pres ence, will be disturbed by the remerks of the CP.R's president. But be is only emphasizing a well-known fact, that the more a business can b: con: solidated the better it will pay. The Grand Trunk and the C.P.R. have in this respect had a similar experience. TWINE NEAR COST. The binder twine business, so for as the penitentiary factory is concerned, may be overhauled by parliament at ita mext session. The report of the minisfer - of justice has been insued, that is his report upon the penitenii- aries, and among the contents - are The warden ts the case in clear and incisive language. He speaks firgs of the experience in 1900, when the sales in July and August were dis appointing, and when, owing to many was more or less demoralized. With the opening of 1901 preparations were made for an early sale, so far as ad- vertising could do it, and inducements were offered to the storemen to bay from the factory and in club quanti ties, so benefitting by the small mar gin which was allowed to the larger dealers. It was then parliament decid ed that the twine should be sobl only tw farmers, direct and at cost, until July lst. The sales to farmers. am- ounted only to forty-five tons, which is the product of a month and a half. The stock on hand after July Ist, was over 300 tons, and only two ten ders were received for it. The decision of the department was not known when the report was completed, but there is reason to believe that with the returns in for the surplus stock of the year the balance will not be om the right side of the account book. The inspector, in his reference to the matter," makes a suggestion. It is that the usages of trade require that the provisions of the resolution be in- vertod---the stock on hand in the early spring being disposed of by teader, and the subsequent output of the fac- tory held to meet orders from farm: ors. Mr. Stewart (the inspector), says the factory "affords employment for about forty convicts for whom it would be hard to find other ewmploy- ment," Was that the object &imed at? H so why "keep the prices a little Le- low the general market value of that article during the whole season?" The Central prison factory answered an- other purpose. It kept a check cn | monopoly. The Kingston factory can do the same thing, by selling the twine, in season, at a little above cost. EDITORIAL POINTS. The legislature should not be called upon to conform church canons; the canon that cannot be enforced with- out legislative sanction had better vot be passed. { Does water purify during the pro- cess of freezing ? That is the question which some scientist has projected and which is giving some concern to the board of health.

Uunng that time he was deck hand on wae steamer india. Was on her at the time she picked up the Marine City. Second mate ordered withess to get the yaw! boat ready.

Couldn't say who bent the line 6m the yawl. lad not hear the order given to bring back the boat. To tow used piece of an old line on boned Marine Lity and another Piece of old line belonging to the In dia. The line looked asi it had long been used. Saw the wheelman, Lows Lavoe make the knot in the two ropes. Heard no one say anything about the strength of the tow line. To commissioner Adams, witness told his story of the subsegitent events in a very quiet, straightiorward way. When the Marine City broke her line witness said that notaing was done. He told the second mate that the tow line had parted, and the second mate informed the captain. A yawl boat, if skilfully handled, could have gone w assistance of the men at that time--Wednesday night. Could see the Marine City in the morning with her distress flag up. During the day tried to work the India over to the Marine City, but did nov get close enough to throw a line. Thought they were then getting into 100. much danger thew: selves. Could not have lowered ao boat then to go to the men's assist ance, as a boat could not have lived. Lost sight of the Marine City at seven o'clock on Thursday evening. The wea- ther shen was very rough. Did not think the steamer coufd have been worked © follow the derelict. Heard that after. reaching Goderich the cap- tain had telegraphed along the shore to see if there was any trace of the Marine City to be found. Might have been more efforts made to rescue men; could have taken them off the first evening. Witness did not remember seeing the range lights at Goderich. Saw men on Marine City beckoning with their hands. "They called to 'us but we could only hear a sound, and did not know what they were saying," said Logan. "1 saw 'them working the pumps and throwing pulp wood overboard." Crossexamined by G. M, Macdon- nell, witness stated that he did hear the captain order to "let go the paiotir." One of the men was, at the time, Simbing on board the Marine City, with © painter in his hand. Did not" remember secing the davitts on the Marine City. It was about midnight when the tow line broke. If anyone stated it broke at nine o'clock witness would say they were wrong. The yaw! boat might have gone to the rescue on Thursday morning. The first effort witness saw made was about 5 p.m. on Thursday. To R..T. Walkem witness stated (hs Marine City did not appear to him to have lowered any in 'the 'water. Thought the men were. in no danger on Wednesday or Thursday, or until Thursday * might. © The men were anxious 5. take the vessel in tow. Hey Mr. "Halpin ask if they "would get anything out of it," and he was toldiyes. Did not know who told him. © To J. L. 'Whiting Mr. Logan stated that he did not remember whether or not the vesssl got into the trough of the seas when trying to sheer over. Witness told tommander Spain that the relations between captain and crew were good. The captain and first engineer frequently had words. Plaintiff's counsel wanted to have Preston Raymond, whom, they claim ed, Capt. Malone had left on a raft a few years ago, called to give e:ilence Dr. Walkem lodged a strong objection and was hac up by J. L. Whiting. "I don't see why we shouldn't hear him," said commander Spain; "we heard several captains yesterday who ge evidence in Capt. Malone's be- alf, and 1 think we ought to hear this man." Mate Lawrence, called again, stated that on W night, while stand- ing on the pilot house with the cap- tain, he saw the range lights. SAVED CHILD'S LIFE.

At Thursday wmorniog's session of the county council, the auditor pre sented his report which showed that the tréasurers books were correct Vouchers had been produced for all payments made snd authority shown for all disbursements. The bonds of the treasurer amount to £0,000 from responsible parti s. The surplus of effets over liabili ies is $22,570.40. The auditor concluded his remarks by asking that his salary be raised from $75 10 8100, as the work was fully worth that amount, Twenty vears ago the council paid the auditor $50. On motion of councillors Toner and Shannon, the council unanimously de- cided to make the auditor's salary $10. J. 8.

Cartwrizht, deputy sttor- ney-geaeral of Ontario : "I am direct ed to say that the papeds, relating to the government claim with respect to the Kingston and Napanee toil 'road, have been transferred from the trea- sury department to that of the at torney-general, with a view to the re- covery of the amount due to the gov. ernment. As you are no doubt aware the toll road was purchased by the county in 1859 for the sum of $49, 200r; and the principal sum, together with many years of accumulated inter est remain unpaid. I am to say that the pavment of what is dve must be made forthwith, or such steps as may be necessary will be taken for the col- lection of the amount." This communication; means that the county council must take action at once, as the matter has been hanging fire too long. of ODDFELLOWS AT GANANOQUE. -- Gananoque Brethren Know How To Entertain.
