In his opinion there was not any need of a new sewer. William firmative. The cellar beneath his dwell- ing was constantly filled with water, and other residents found it impossible to use sinks .in their houses. The old sewer was built over fifty years ago, and is not serviceable. The city engineer informed the board that the old sewer was only four feet, «ix inches deep. Mr. Pauls cellar and that beneath Mrs. McMahon's dwell ing were about four feet deep. Chairman McLeod wound up the de- bate by stating that the board had to be governed by the request of the board oi health; and report to coun il that the sewer be built. It would then rest with the property owners affected, who did not desire the sew- er, to petition the judge that the sewer be not built. On motion of Ald. Walkem, it was decided to re- commend the construction of the sew- er: it was the only course open to the board, the mover stated. Noel Kent, 55 George street, peti- tioned against being charged rental for a sewer in O'Kill street. The peti- tioner was present and stated that the sewer from his dwelling was con- structed by private parties, and did not cost the city one cent to buila. Chairman McLeod pointed out that the complainant was being charged jor sewer rent only; for the use of the O'Kill street sewer. This rental could have been collected since 1882, o action" was decided upon on motion of Ald. Harkness. A recommendation of the board of health that a sewer be built-in Lower Rideau street, was referred to the city solicitor nd city engineer for a report, on a of Ald. Craig. The chairman stated that it was almost too.late in the yéar to begin the con- struction -of -sewers. John Gleason, ice dealer, complained of the dangerous condition of a cross in on Brock 'St., entering premises of the Dominion Fish company. It was a menace to. the life and limb of horses passing over it. The chairman announced that the Jefect was to be rectified by the city engineer at once. The matter was re ferred to -the city engineer to have the improvement carried out. Ald. Craig suggested that it the board had any money to spare, it should be used" =in keeping the cross: ings clean. This work coula be done at a very small cost: The committee thought well of the suggestion. The chairman announced that the hoara had stopped all general work, as the controllable finances were get- ting low. Provision had to be made for snow shovelling, and towards this outlay the board had only about 260 on hand. Touching the condition of streets, Alds. McCammon, McLeod. and 'Walk- em stated that they had been in Mon- treal recently and found the streets there 'in a deplorable. condition. Kings- ton streets were much superior and cleantr than those of Montreal. A number of accounts were passed, including the pay list for the past {wo weeks. amounting to $431.50. Q Water Works Committee. At five o'clock Thursday afternoon Ald: King held--g levee of the com- mittee on water works, when onlv a small bill of particulars was pres to the members for their considera tion. Those who attended, besides the chairman, were : Alds. Sears, Abbott, Mallen and Tait. Te After a few accounts had been pass ed. Chairman King brought forward a petition from residents of Russell street, asking that the water works svstem be extended to the residents of that thoroughfare. Ald. King informed the' committee that the petition was an old one, having been first presented in Septem- ber, 1901, but the request was not granted then because the revenue guaranteed would not vield the neces sary amount to warrant the under- taking of the work. In any event, the names on the petition could not be treated as valid: some had been pen- cilled out. The revenue guaranteed was $15 a vear, ov less than three per cent. on the expenditure, which would be about 81.676, for a four-inch main. Ald. Sears. was of opinion that the ¢ommittee could not deal with the petition: it would be a mistake to it down a four-inch 'main, as it would not'.give fire protection. Superintendent "Hewitt, stated that the law compelled: the comniittee tor exact six per cent. on all 'outlav. Ii the general revenue would permit of it. the committee might lay the main - that means. Ald. Sears considerad that it would Le an injustice to the other consum- p-- m-- ---- -ers to grant the prayer of the petition as the cost would have -to come ovt of the al revenue. Ald. Tait held that there should not J. Paul appeared for the ai- | be a reduction of rates until all citi- zens desiring water services should Le supplied from the surplus money. All the aldermen present sympathi- | zed with the petitioners, but regretted that under the circumstances the pray- er of their petition could not be, granted. . Alds. Tait and Sears expressed them- selves as willing to pay even a higher rate if, by so doing, 1t would enable those who desired the water service to get it. Ald. Abbott could not see any way of overcoming the law, so as to grant the request of the petitioners. e moved that no action be taken, which meter. Superintendent Hewitt said that il 817.37 was considered exhorbitant for use of hose in such a wet season as the past proved to be, what would the charge be consideted for a dry sca son ? Ald. Sears said he would recommen: the board of education to have a spe cial tap placed in Victoria school io. the use of hose, and would ask tha water for this be charged at the sche- dule rate. It was decided to allow the matter to stand until the eommittee had re- ceived a communication from the beard of education.

AFTER MARRIAGE. Different Living Affects Some Peo- ple. "I never drank coffee until after 1 was married," says a lady from Adair- ville, Ga. "My husband drank coffee and 1 thought it was nice to drink with him and we enjoyed it together. After a while I found that my digestive or- gans were much disturbed, but not knowing the cause, | went on drinking coffee and growing more wretched each day. In due time, three little girls came to what ought to have been a happy home, but 1 was, nervous and unhappy myself and could not make anyone else happy; to my great consternation, two of my little girls had spasms, and 1, a nervous wreck, found it im- possible to eat anything that did not hurt my stomach. "I finally concluded I had heart dis- ease, my heart pained me so much af- ter eating, and my head was so dizzy, I often thought T would fall when try- ing to walk across the room. "I tried every medicine I heard of, and had different doctors treat me, but with no"benefit. 1 could not sleep half the night, and never slept sound --1 would wake out of a frightful dream only to doze and wake again. "Finally, I read of Postum Food Coffee and my husband got a package from our grocer; I made some accord: ing to directions. I liked its flavor very much and the first cup seemed to | help my stomach. 1 used it every [ meal, sometimes making a whole meal | on Postum and a hit of bread. | "1 improved so fast that I could | i { soon eat anythig 1 wanted. 1 be- gan to look so much better my friends were surprised and said 1 looked as well as when 1 was first married. 1 | could sleep as sweetly as a child. Of | course the children quit cofiee and | drank Postum, and they all began to {fatten and the spasms stopped... "I wish I could impress it on every { weak, nervous person to abandon cof- fee! and Postum Cereal. li every nervous person could have seen me in my nervous atlliction from drinking coffee, coultl now see me and my little | ones around. the table enjoying .' our Postum, they surely would never in- dulge in coffee again, for there is no {more nervous prostration; no morg | headaches; no more spasms, and 1 am able to do my wn work and care for my children."

To-morrow's Intercollegiate and O. R.F.U. matches will conclude the rug- by season in Kingston. Both are championship contests, Queen's II and McGill II, playing the final of the in- termediate series, and Limestones the 0.R.F.U. junior semi-final, with Tor- onto Wellesleys. The latter is a "sud- den death game." Queen's II" defeated McGill II last Saturday in Montreal by seven to nothing, and should easi- ly win the round. There are great hopes, too, of the Limestones being victorious, and entering the final a week hence with either Galt or Ham- ilton. ' Unfortunately both matches will be played in the afternoon, but this was unavoidable. Limestones would have preferred playing at Queen's athletic grounds in the morning, but as the Toronto juniors will not be here in time, the match has to be played on the cricket field. The Kingston teams will likely be composed thus : Queen's Il.--Full-back, Millar; hali- backs, Smith, Strachan, Crothers; quarter, Pannell; scrimmage, Thomp- son, Gillies, Malloch; wings, Harpell, Patterson, Bailey, Reid, Mahood, Ma- lone, Murphy. Limestones--Full back, Bews; half- backs, Bearance, Betts, Hiscock; quar- ter, Moxley; scrimmage, Page, Hamil- ton, Patterson; wings picked from Hebert, Crozier, Clark, Walsh, Var- nev, O'Brien, Woodrow, O'Leary, Wil- liams. Notes And Comments. A record crowd will attend the great Harvard-Yale rughy match to-morrow. The play will be about as interesting as a dry sermon on a sultry day. Over $20,000 in wagers have been made in New York on the result of the Yale-Harvard match, which will be played to-morrow. Yale are two to one favorites. The Canadian rughy team will play Dalhousie and Halifax matches under he English rules on November 29th wd December lst. They sail for Eng- land on December Sth. The Ottawa Rough Riders are talk- ng of a new athletic field. They do wot intend to allow Ottawa College authorities to charge $250 for the ise of their oval again. The Ottawa Citizen announces that leason is apt to drop into rugby «ain, and that he will assist Ottawa Jollege next season to gain its lost 'aurels. So long as the '"'beef syndi- ate" (apologizes to the Toronto Tele- sram) holds out, there will be no hope ior the college. The Wellesleys will not arrive for 'o-morrow's , match with Limestones ill the afternoon train from west. if the train be late, and the match loes not start by 2.45 o'clock, as or- lered by the O.R.F.U. executive, the .imestones may claim a default, or n case of darkness a protest will be n order, if necessary. The Intercollegiate Hockey Union will have three senior teams--McGill, Jueen's and Varsity, which will- play home and 'home matches. The inter- nediates will be Lennoxville,. McGill iI, Queen's II, Royal Military Col- lege, Varsity IT, Trinity and McMas- 'er. In the latter the first two, second wo and the last ..three will form roups. There is little likelihood of the n= ercollegiate Rugby Union reconsider- ne its decision regarding the Burn- ide rules. The matter may be brought 1p again next year: Queen's are deter- mined not "to support any change. in the present playing rules, and this will be their decision in spite of the 'act that they send representatives to view to-morrow's match in Toronto.

AN ANSWER MADE. To Kansas Man's Statements Re. Prohibition. The temperance meeting held in Cooke's Presbyterian church last nicht 'was' well attended. John Mcln- tyre, K.C., occupied the chair. Rev. A. Laira read the deliverances of the general assembly and the presbytery of Kingston upon the subject. W. I'. F. Ferguson then delivered an able addre: first answering © the state ments of the Kansas man as published in Tuesday's .Whig.« He endeavored To chow that 'there was no truth in the statements. Those that had in their face any appearance of truths were only half truths. The man who utter. od them, he went on to say, was not competent to analyze facts and: give causes therefor. The speaker declared that prohibition could have no effect on the price of wheat in the Kansas market because the price was ruled bv the outside worla. A fall in the mark- et was caused by the speculators get- ting a 'corner' on wheat. The speak- er took np each of the Kansas man's arguments in turn, and sought to show that they were unfounded and illogical. Mr. Ferguson then, for an hour or more, launched forth into a general exposition of the temperance question, quoting from. many authorities and marshalling statistics gleaned from many fields of information. He declar- ed that prohibition would not mean a diminution in the revenue of the coun try; and that it would not be a dis advantage to the community. 4 Alaska 'Sable Ruffs.
