Galloway, the officer command ing the 14th regiment, was presented with his Jong service medal. 'Ihe reseitiation was made by Col ontizambert, D.0.€., who spoke in complimentary terms of the popular major. "It, aflords me much pleasure to be present on this aceasion," sal the colonel.

The regiment was drawn up in single file behind, and at the conclus- ion of the ceremony, Capt. Cunning ham, staff adjntant, proposed three cheers for the major, which were given with such promptness and sin- cerity that showed unmistakeably how popular is the officer vommanding. In addressing: the a Galloway stated that on July 6th next he will have served twenty-five vears in the militia, having first «n. listed in the 14th, pnd remaining with the regiment to the present. He had tried to do his duty, and that was all any man could do. pumber of men in the regiment, said, who were also entitled to long service decoration, and he trust. ed that they would soon receive it. The colonel, he re ed, would no doubt be as pleased tc make the pre- sentations as he was on the present ocenasion. The spectators in the galleries, com. osed mostly. of Indies, and those on the ground foor, joined in the ap olanse. The major was afterwards the recipient of many congratulations.

Patrick Lavery, jr., who fell off the i of the lake harge Dunmore, in the M. T. company's shipyard, yes | rerday afternoon, died within an hour after being taken to the Hotel Dies. He did not regain conscious { ness, concussion of the brain having iresulted from the terrible fall. Jt is thought b¥ the other men working on the barge that theif comrade was in a fainting condition when 'he fell. While at work on the mast, he had become what sailors call "light-head- ed." After losing his hold, He utter ed a frightened exclamation; then came the awful crash, the force of the fall breaking the hatch. The poor fellow' legs were frightfully broken, the snapped bones tearing the flesh opon ip and down the limbs. His head was swathed in blood. One of these oft-occurring pathetic doenes was witnessed as the mangled form was carried into the Hotel Dieu. Mrs. Keenan, a sister of the young man, had just left the bedside of her husband, who is ill in that institu tion. The stretcher was placed down yuite close to her; but she was total Jy unconzcions of who the injured per son was. When Rev. Father Salting broke to her the terrible news, he grioi woe heart rending. The deceased was formerly in the employment of J. McParland, King street, but latterly was with 'the AM. T. company. His father, Patrick Lavery, was also with that company for wears. The remains were taken to the home of = deceased's sister, Mrs. Irwin Carr, Bagot street. Deep sym {pathy is felt for the mourning family. Dr. Mundell, coroner, was called up on after death had ensued, but deem: od an inquest unhecessdary, ss there were several eye witnesses to the af fair, which was purely aceidental. Has Opened New Offices. D. 1. gon, cheese buyer exporter, opened up a fine office at 217 Princess street, a few doors above the Windsor hotel. Last season he had offices on the market square, but increased business necess) tiated newer and betier rooms, . and he has moved. onto Princess street, Mr. Mackinnon, who is one of the most popular young buyers on the Kingston and Napanee cheese boards, is the local representative of Lovell & Christmas, limited. cheese exporters, whose head offices are in London, Eng., and whose standing is second to none in Canada. He ako repre sents R. M. Ballantyne, of Montreal, mangging director of the Ballantyne dairy supply company, of Stratford. All kinds of cheese 'factory supplies are kept on bend at Mr. Mackinnon's new office. and he sells at the lowest prices and 'on reasonable terms. Those interested in such matters would do well to give him a eall.' Correspon dence also is solicited. Mr. Mackin bon iz a shrewd and popular. voung business man, and his many friends in the districy wish him all success. and "Man To Man." A new sensational melodrama en titled "Man to Man' will be present- ed at the Grand, on Aprit' 17th, by Butterfield and Bromilow. The new piege is from the pen of Nain Gruts, a New York newspaper man, and is in four nets and six sienes. One scene, known as the "thriller," shows a eave in the Adirondack mountains, with a mountain - bear imprisoned with the hero of the play. A most re- alistio battle for life and liberty en- sues, the bear fighting unmuzaled. An other scene shows a gambling den in New York. city's famous 'white light district." The play is a distinctly modern one, and is probably. the most sensutions! play that hes takem the roaa this season. The Warden's Chariot. Warden Spoor came to town to-day and drove through the streets in a chariot that caused great admiration. He was seated in a bicycle buggy, driven by a team of Indian ponies, and well maintained his dignity as first citizen of the historic county of Frontenac, The sight of the warden would have made councillors Avery and Reynolds green with envy, had they witnessed his triumphal journey through the city.

Interviewed last evening regarding the news British duties placed on food stuffs, principal Geant said : ' '" think that the British chancellor of the exchequer has acted ressonab ly. whether anything comes of it - or not im the direction heveaiter, of the admission of colonial products with out paying the duty. To: discuss the probabilities of that would take me too far afield at present, though | have written om the subject, to Bri: ish periodicals eleven or twelve years ago. Confining myself 10 its present nature and effect on the people of Britain, | agree substantially' with ali that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach says. It is nonsense to call it a return to the corn Jaws. Jt is sioply a sestoration of that registration tax, which way not opposed by Cobden and the great free-braders, and which was. unwisely thrown away as a sop to the work: ingman, a sop which he cared very little for. It is a war tax like the tax imposed last year on sugar and the export duty on eoal, and the increase last vear of tupence on the indome tax and an additional! penny this year. All these though war taxes are not likely to be repealed in peace, for financial | authorities agree preity generally that the area of taxation must be widened to cover more than the few articles that are taxed at present in Britain. "The liberals are greatly mistaken if they fancy that this will give them a broad enough platform from which to successfully assail the government. H ever there was a people's war the South African war is that. Even pro Boers must admit 'that, and the werk ingman is not such a foul as to fne- cy that wars can be made without money, and he is too much of a man to object to paying his share. What liberalism needs is a re-union of its shattered forces into an effective uni ty, and lord Rosebery has put the prospect of that still farther away in to the future than it was "The tax is too small to affect the price of bread, and therefore the cry of the small loaf will be laughed at. It will be impossible ever to put a heavy tax on the necessaries of life in Great Britain. John Bull is net likely at all to be scared by the "thin end of the wedge argument." He ja too practical a man for that. He will stand a cent a pound on sugar with out a murmur, but not ten cents. So he will stand a small registration tax but nothing like the old corn laws. Besides, how can Canadians object when an essential plank of the nati onal policy was the imposition of larger duties of the same kind ? "No, the chief objection to the bud got is that it is opposed to the Brit ish practice of paying the greater part of the year's expenditure out of additional revenue needed and not hy loans. Probably, however, there is wisdom here also. It is as much as to say to the Boers, we have provid od 'money for another year of the war, #0 you may as wel] make peace at once. 1 the Boer listens then only a small part of the loan will be need: ed. Ii he does not, the money will be raised gradually and the war be pro secuted more vigorously than ever. It is to be hoped that we shall have peace before the king i crowned, and the prospects for this seem to me to be a little Brighter than they bave yet been." / ---- Ross Sces Preferential Trade. Toronto, April 18. --Premier Ross, in disoussing . the British budget this morning, said: "I am greatly pleased with the action of the Imperial gow ermment in preparing the way, as 1 understand it, for preferential trade with the colonies, although the tariff announced by the chancellor may not help us in its present form, I believe it- will ultimately pave the way - for stich a preference for the coloiies in the imperial market as we desire, British statesmen now have some: thing to give away for colonial pri vileges that may be valuable to them amd which if done would certainly promote the unity of the empire."
