After an illness of consumption, ex- tending over two years, Elsie H. Fur ner, only daughter of George Furner, Wolfe Island, passed to the land of rest on the 16th. On May Ist, she re- turned from Santa Fe, New Mexico, where for a year and a half she so- wourned in quest of botter health. Finding herself no better, she turned homeward to end her days on her native island. The deceased young lady was only eighteen years of age. Her © demise has caused a saddened home and many sorrowful friends. On the loth, the remains were laid to rest in the Episcopal church cemetery on Wolfe Island, and were followed to the grave by a large. concourse of people, Granted A Divorce. In. supreme court, at- Watertown, N.Y. a divorce was granted Thomas Harding from his wife. The couple were married in Kingston in 1886, and lived together in Watertown till July last year. Last fall the wife began an action against her htisband for alleged cruelty, but never came to trial Then Harding sued for divorce. William Dufiney was named as corre- spondent, and ovidence was given that he and Mrs. Harding had gone away together to Michigan. The three children will be kept in the Wa tertown orphans' home, where they ROW are, Pheoe and een Citizens Can Help. Many a neat boulevard in front of a 85,000 or 810,00 house in town is flanked by burdocks and rank growth of other weeds. The effect is not grand. There is little hope of a cor poration laborer being directed to ent down these weeds and make the edges of the streets tidy, though the cost would be trifling, perhaps four weeks' work for one nian each sum- mer. The obvious duty, therefore, of each householder is to spend half an hour or less in cutting down the weeds in front of his residénce. How many will do it, and help to make Kingston presentable to excursionists? Coronation Service, 'The appointed service with full choir will be conducted at St, George's ca thedral on Thursday morning: at 10.30 o'clock, being coronation day. The bishop and clergy of city and dis- trict will join in heartily; the United States consul, will attend officially, and the city council were early asked to he present in a body, the mayor accepting on their behalf. -------- Tenders Were Too High.

Would Be Man's Slave.--Says He Smokes About Fifteen Pills of Opium Every Morning, and Cannot Control Himself. Denver, June 21.--An odd proposi tion is made by William Jackson, a negro arrested for frequenting an opi- win den. Jackson acknowledges that he is g victim to the opium habit. He says he is very anxious to be cured and apnounces that, for the period of three years, he will be a slave to the wan or men who effect a cure in his case. "1 know," "said he, "that the aavs of slavery are over. | want to be a man again. I will work and be the slave of any man who will cure me. J] will work for three years for no- thing.except my board and clothes." Jackson is an intelligent negro, ab out thirty-five years of age. ile caaw to Denver six weeks ago from Omaha. where he was employed in the hall of Elks' lodge, No. 30, as a porter. He haw letters of recommendation in his pocket from this organization and says that he may return at any time to his former employers and jo to work again, He was found by a policeman in the room of a man known as Ollie Barns, The policemen who travel the Lari- mer street beat frequently bave been told that opium was smoked in the room. They found Jackson seated in the room, with an opimm layout at his side. "The layout was 'there, but there was no opium. [| intended buying fii- teen cents' worth of opium, which would make me about ten or fifteen pills, 1 smoke about that many pills every morning, and 1 have got to have them," said Jackson. "I got into the habit six years ago when doctors were treating me for rhenmatism. They gave me morphine and when | got well 1 had to have it, I changea off to opium and now | am a fiend. When | came to Denver I asked 4 policeman on a street corn- er if 1 would be permitted to smoke opium. He told me that there was no reason why 1 shouldn't smoke, as lote of other people smoked Some- times the policeman would come to the room and watch me while 1 was smoking, Burns is innocent." Hali a dozen opium dens are run ning wide open to both white people and negroes in the slums of the city. Policemen in uniforny walk through these resorts several times each night and make no attempt to arrest the keepers. THE CASE PROCEEDINGS. Hon. S. H. Blake is Acting for The Conservatives. Toronto, Ont., June 21.--~The Len nox election case came before justice MacLennan, at Osgoode Hall, this morning, and argument was made on each of the disputed ballots in the case. The counsel for the liberals were George Watson, K.C., and 8S. H. Blake, K. C., W. D. McPherson and Gus Porter, M.P., appeared for the conservatives. Mr. McPherson contended that two ballots allowed by the judge for Ma- dole had been tampered with and that they ghould be disallowed. Mr. Blake quotgll from decisions of the judge in jest Klgin, to show that a mark placed in the division of a ballot con taining a candidate's number was a good vote. As one of the votes al- lowed for Madole Mr. Blake argued that it should be disallowed, because a circle was drawn around the cross and another mark made intended to cancel the vote. Another vote counted for Madole had only a circle on it, a mark of a distinctive nature. Mr. Me- Pherson claimed that two Carscallen ballots had been marked in such a way as to spoil them by some person other than the voters. The case is proceeding. LAST WAR OF CONQUEST.

Mistake Made in Character Cap Ornaments for Men. The civic committee on fire and light met Friday afternoon for transaction of general business. In attendance were: Alds. Bell, chairman; Craig, Harkness, McFarlane and King. A number of accounts were presented and approved. An account of $5.90 from A. Strachan for goods supplied in 1809 and 1900 was reterred to the city engineer and chairman; if correct it will be paid. Chairman Bell announced that there was an increase of $9.50 in the account of George Mills for caps furnished the firemen; he could not say by whose mistake the over charge arose The chiei said he bad. ordered metal num- bers for the front of the caps, but by some mistake they came im silk, worked into the cloth; They were very sorviceable, however, and would last for three or four years. The chair man approved of the decoration, whereupon Ald. Craig moved that Mr. Mills account be paid; . carried, Ald. Craig suggested that the fire men should be provided with helmets for mse at fires; if these were available the good dress caps could be saved, which would be a point of economy. The chairman and other members of the committee concurred in Ald. Craig's suggestion. Continuing, Ald, Craig stated that serviceable helmets could now be pro cured in aluminum at reasonable pric es. Perhaps a saving could be effected in some particular and money enough thus provided for the purchase of the helmets. The city engineer was authorized to ascertain the cost of such helmets and report to the committee. Upon the suggestion of Ald. McFar- lane, it was decided to have the two exercise waggons painted; it will pro long their days of usefulness. Ald. McFarlane also suggested that the city property committee be notified that the roof of the Ontario street fire ball is in a leaky condition and re quires immodiate attention and re padre. Chairman Bell promised to have ready by next meeting a statement of the expenditure to date. Chairman Bell expressed the belief that the new unifosms provided the firemen this year will prove serviceable for two years at least. of Golden Wedding.
