In Store For Those Who Doubt. When you read that a sufferer of many years standing has been com. pletely restored to health by using Smith's Cure-all, you are inclined to doubt the ~tatement, and, in fact, have no bel. in it whatever. The reason for this is that so much is claimed for the Cure-all it is impossi- ble for anyone to believe it; ii the ad- vertiser confined his claims to the cur- ing of one disease, as do the propr. tors of Pyramid Pile Cure, readers would" have much more faith in pub- lished testimonials. Those familiar with this great remedy know that tes- timonials as to its merit may be reli- ed upon imyli itly, also that the cures brought about by its use are little short of marvelous. The genuineness of the testimonial here given is vouch- ed for and is but one of thousanls ie- ceived, ; "I had a friend who had used one box of 50 cent Pyramid Pile Cure that entirely cured her. 1 saw the good ei- fect on her, and thought I would try it, as I had got so I could not sit down without extreme pain and geot- ting up was just as bad; the first box nearly cured me; IT got the second box and have had no trouble since. Pyra- mid Pile Cure does all that it claims to do, and I never miss an opportun- ity to tell its merits. 1 speak from observation and personal benefit. Two boxes cured me over a year ago, and no return of the trouble since." Mrs M.

To Dispose of Fire Department Horse and Purchase New One-- Petitioning Against Construc- tion of Sewsr--Request of Board of Health Not Support- ed. Council took up considerable time at its regular meeting Monday night in discussing the proposition of the fire and light committee, that an incap- able horse be sold and replaced by a new animal. The proposal was adapt- ed. A short debate also took place on the action of the water works com- mittee in refusing, on good grounds, to grant the request of a few rate- payers of Russeli street for water ser- vice. The balance of the business went through without opposition and coun- 4 cil adjourned at about ten o'clock.

McLeod presented the report of the board of works, already publish ed. Adopted, as amended, on motion of Alids. McLeod and Craio. As the report contained a recommen- dation, that a sewer he constructed in Upper William street, as asked for by- the- board of health, All. King pointed out that it- would be necessary to take the yeas and nays upon the report. There was some objection to pass- ing that clause of the report, but All. McLeod. informed - council that the board of works was merely carrying out the provisions of the Ontario sta tues; the council was carrying out the wishes of the board of health, which body was backed up hy the statutes. All. White dissented from this view of the situation, and stated that there was not any law compelling the coun- cil to carry out requests of the hoard of health. ALL Walkem was surprised that Ald. White should express such views. Ald. White.--"*You needn't be surpris- ed." . Ald. Walkem. am not surprised. Ald. King read the act. which pro vided that if the council uphold the re quest of the board of health by a two- oy ery well, then, 1 rant the expenditure. In some instanc- es water services are paying as high as fifteen per cent. Ald. King went into the matter very fully, covering the ground he took at the meeting of the comniittee, and pointing out that it was not within the powers of the committee to grant the request. The report, as presented, was adopt- In the absence of Ald: Bell, chair- man of the committee, Ald. King pre- serited the report of the committee on fire and light. Alds. King and Craig moved its adoption. : Ald. Tait asked for some informa- tion about the nervous grey horse, which the committee desired to get rid' of. He moved, seconded by Knapp, that the clause referring ° to the horse trade be struck from the re- port, Ald. Tait was afraid the com- mittee would get a "plug" in place of the good horse now owned by the de- partment. Ald. Harkness explained that the grey horse was a good work animal, but- would "go off its feed" after ' a run. He thought it a good move to get rid of the horse, Ald. King stated gineer and chief nad recommended horse in question. Ald. Knapp informed the council that when the horse was purchased two years ago it would not eat, and f it had existed ever since, it effected \ great saving for the city, He was f opinion that if the horse must be rot rid of, the best means would be to offer him for sale by auction. Ald. Craig favored the ling of the horse. The time a horse was of service to the city was when the gong sound- ed; this horse becomes nervous and vattled when pressed into service. It was risking the lives of the firemen to ask them to drive behind it. He strongly, urged' the disposing of the horse, now that he is in good trim. Ald. McFarlane could not see any eason for disposing of the horse in juestion; it had never refused to draw the appliances to a fire, and could not se replaced for S110, Ald. Tait's amendment was lost. Ald. McLeod found fault with the vording of the report; he held that if the horse in question was unfit for ervice, the committee should ask for nermission to sell and appropriate monev to purchase another. He con idered the grev horse one of the best the department ever owned. The report was amended to the wishes of Ald. Mcleod. Ald. McFarlane wanted the reports of officials on the horse's condition oresented to council. Ald. Graham wanted the matter laid over until the chairman could he pre sent and answer pertinent questions. After a short further discussion, the report was adopted, that the city en the department release of the of the meet Looking For A Meeting Place. While the city council was in session last evening, All. White informed the members that he had been approached by J. W.

White spoke of the importance of the cheese industry and urged that the request be granted, ii possible. The matter was referreds tc the city property committee to deal with, Gentlemen Who Are Bald.

Queen's May Play Yale Hockey "Team in New York--Lime- stones Play Next Saturday -- Queen's Rugby Trouble. .. Queen's expect to have a strong senior hockey team to enter the Inter- collegiate union. "Dick" Mills again guard the posts; Ross Murphy will play point, and "Jack" McDow- all (captain), cover-point; Knight and Wilson will form a fast pair of cen- tres. Brock, who played on the wing seven years ago, is now assistant pro- fessor of geology, and will again turn out and hl! his old position. He is very speedy. Dalton may be induced to play the other wing, on which he proved himscli an adept last winter against McGill. Another available player is Kearns (hali-back on the rughy team). who played with the Ot- tawa Aberdeens. "Then *'Jofaku Falkner, who played wing with the senior téam several years ago, back. The intenfiediate team should also be of good strength. c Six years ago Queen's senior hockey team went to New York and met Yale. which team they aefeated, and carned the title of Intercollegiate nockey champions of America. Now Queen's desive to meet Yale again, and negotiations are under way for a match in New York about the latter part of January. It was in the last week of December, 1805, that Canadian hockey was first played in the United States. That vear Queen's senior team, captained by Guy Curtis, went to Pittsbure, Pa.. and won the admiration of the people of the Smoky City. Nearly every vear since, (Queen's has sent g team down there in response to press- 15 ing invitations, and the biggest guar- antee given any other teams. This vear, however, a visit will not be made. The expected trip to New York to meet Yale will suffice for the usual holiday jaunt across the line. Heretofore, all attempts to wrest Queen's international hockey cham- pronship title away have failed. Me- Gill have thrice been defeated and Varsity twice.

Toronto, Nov. 24.--(To the Editor): According to the Globe's report of the .public debate that took place in your city last Saturday night between John Mudie, K.C., and W. P. F. Fer- guson, "editor of The New Voice, Chi- cago," the latter vehemently asserted, "I challenge the production of a line or sentence in The New Voice breathing hostility to Britain." The simple truth is that during the progress of the South - African war not one word favorable to Great Bri- tain appeared in the columns of The New Voice, anil not even the ingenui- ty--or the efirontery--of a Mr. Fergu- son can twist the comments of that paper on the war into anything but the most envenomed hesility to our Mother Land, For instance in its issue of January 25th, 1900, The New Voice, in an ar ticle headed **American Sympathy for the Boers," said "The assertion of Senator Hale in the senate that nine-tenths of the peo- ple of the United States sympathize with the Boers in their struggle against the British has provoked a good deal of hostile criticism from a certain class of republican newspapers but was not wholly a random state- ment ". . Had the Boer war taken place three years ago and had Great Britain seized American ships as she" has done of late, it is t6 be doubted if even a conservative admin- istration at Washington could have prevented a very uniriendly demon: stration, if not war, . . . . The Wash- ington Post has probably come as near as any one to a clear expression of the American feeling in an editor - al of last Friday, in which it says: 'Our people may occasionally lose their heads, but they cannot be fooled all the time, 'and their hearts,--God bless 'em !--are in the right place always. The Boers have given the lie to the English arraingment of their man hood. . . . . They have won the admiration of all who love humhan lib erty and honor human courage. They are entitled te ofir sympathy, our en couragement, our help." "' > Again: On May 24th, The New Voice, quoted with approval an ad dress by that notorious tail-twister, Congressman Sulzer, the man" who only a short time aco insulted Sir Gilbert Parker at a dinner given to the latter in New York. According to The New Voice the congressman said : "In my judgment nine-tenths of the American people are against England in this bloody war of conquest for sordid gain and in sympathy with the Boers. . . .. Why, I ask, in the name of all that is just and honorable, in the name of our glorious past, should we refuse to lend our moral support, our svmpathy, and our aid to the pat riots of South Africa? Is American sentiment dead ¥"' Just. one "more excerpt. In an edi- torial, in which Kitchener was called the- Wevler of South Africa, The New Voice, in November, 1900, concluded an abusive article in the following words: "Driven into war bv intriguers, de- feated over and over again in fair fight by inferior forces, unable even with an enormous army to crush the spitit of independence of a little moun- tain people, forced to adopt inhuman methods of warfare in a desperate ef- fort to overcome a resistance in every way creditable and praiseworthy, the British government is engaged in business "that, whatever may be the opinion of the English people of it un der the stress of war, Englishmen two generations hence will despise and condemn." The foregoing quotations--and they are only samples of tha stuff that an- peared from week to week in The New Voice--=clearly dndicate the attitude of that paper towards Great Britain and prove "that Mr. Fergns love - for Pritish stitutions © {finds expression only when he sets foot on British soil. Not many months geo, John Go Wool lev, owner of The New Voice, in an article, said that every member of his stafi except. himself was an ardent siipporter of the Boer cause, and this, of course, included Mr. Fercuson, who, if I mistake not, was managing editor ol _the paper.
