Calvin, M.P." as lite governor, to fill the vacancv caused by the death of Lieut.-Col. Duff. The question of the heating and ventilating of the Nickle wing was discussed, and it was felt that the time is opportune for immediate tak- ing" up of this work, inasmuch as competent authorities have stated that a new boiler is required at once for laundry purposes, and that it would be a matter of economy to combine the uses of such a boiler for laundry ana heating purposes. The matter was referred to a special com: mittee, The report of the commititee of management was adopted. Rev. Stearne Tighe and Rev. M. Macgilli vray were appointed visiting gover- nors for the month. An Explanation. the notice of the Sydenham church rally in yesterday's Whig the impression might be left that Rev. Dr. Philp called upon H. A. Calvin, M.P., for an address, con trary to his wish. It was fully un- derstood as between Dr. Philp and Mr. Calvin, previous to the meeting, that the latter would not be asked to speak. During the progress of the ser vice Mr. Calvin thought that a refer ence to his "own village would be timely, and accordingly intimated that he would like to say a word, which opportunity was most gladly accorded. His brief but pointed statements were a fitting close to a splendid meeting. Boys Carry Revolvers. The police say that Frontenac school contains a lot of bad bovs, who are constantly playing truant.

VOTE IT "YES" WHAT ELECTORS SHOULD FRANKLY DO, Remember to Vote Early on Thursday, and if you are Wishful to See Ontario Rid of the Curse of 'the Bar-Room Vote Yes. From Local Prohibition Committee. 'If you want reasons for voting in favor of "The Liquor Act of 1902," the following ten are a few out of many that might be given: 1. Because my' personal liberty in all good things is advanced, not hindered, by the Liquor Act. : 2. Because the Liquor Act of 1902 is not the Scott Act, but the most ad- vanced Provincial legislation possible. I know. that the Scott Act, with all its defects, was not, according to sta- tistics, a failure in lessening. drunken- ness and crime. 3. Because I know that the Liquor Act of 1902 can be enforced. The gov- ernment is thus pledged, and has thus provided in the act itself. 4. Because a well enforced liquor act abolishing the bar-room and the treat- ing system, and penifitting a well conducted hotel (without intoxicants) for public accommodation, is the most effectual prevention of the tempta- tions of strong drink. Under such an act illicit liquor selling could not flourish. 5. Because prohibition has not prov- ed a failure, but when fairly tested has been a signal success. Let Maine, Ver- mont, Kansas, Towa, testify. 6. Because the proposed Liquor Act would- have a helpful efiect on many lines of business, it would turn the cpnins of the drink traffic ($16,000,000) into healthy trade. Perjurers and smugglers would soon come to grief, and spies would not be needed. 7. Because those now engaged the drink traffic would soon find ployment in honorable lines of re- vived tradé to their own good and that of their country: Respect and not contempt for law would increase. 8. Because the debt ofthe province would soon \ be lessened through the amount sme, The cost of the drink trafic to the Nominion annually now is £151,000.000. Calculate the gain if this cost ceased. Compensation to li- quor sellers is not required under this act. Selling liquor is a personal pri- vilege granted on conditions that may cease without any injustice to the narty concerned. When the condi- tions end the business becomes un- lawful. 9. Because it means increased gain to taxpayers. The province gives now to the liquor traffic 831 for every $1 of revenue received. 10. Because_1 believe in prohibition which says: "Stop making our citi- zens into drunkards, paupers and crim- inals." Law control for the public tempter means greater liberty and safety for all. in em- Victory, Now Assured. YES. | NO. 3 ARE YOU IN FAYOR OF BRINC- ING INTO FORCE THE LIQUOR ACT OF 1902 ?

Let every anti-bar-room man who an" do so, volunteer a single or dou- ble rig at once, and report hefore to- morrow noon, to Organizer Boyd or Alderman J. B. Cooke, chairman of rigs. -- Worth Repeating. "Mr. Calvin, M:P., speaking of local prohibition told "of his native village --Garden Island--where liquor had nev- er been sold within his recollection, but where men were not prohibited from having it in their own homes. There" had never been an arrest there for crime or drunkenness." The above quotation from H. A. Calvin's Sabbath speech is worth re- peating with emphasis. = To-morrow night, Rideau ward gets into battle array at rooms, corner of Princess and University avenue.

United States Fort on British Soil. Curious, indeed, is a United States fort: which was built on British soil. How many can guess what fort it is and 'where located? The name is Fort Montgomery, and the location is on an island near the foot of Lake Champlain, about hali a mile north- east of Rouse's Point, N.Y., A short time ago, when travelling in that part of the country, 1 saw this fort andy asked the name of it. "Why, that is Fort Blunaer," said my informant. 'Did you never hear of it 777 1 confessed ignorance, and he explained matters. It seems that after the war of 1812 the government of the United States became convinced that the entrance to Lake Champlain should be guard- ed by a fort strong enough to en- gage any British fleet which might attempt to force an entrance to the Jake. And so Fort Montgomery was and ' constructed, at a cost of nearly 500,- ! 000. It was an immense fortification for those days, and was arranged for ! three tiers of guns. Just about the {ime it was complet- ed the joint surveyors fixing the line - between the United States and Can- ada came along, and, aiter doing a good bit of figuring, announced that Fort Montgomery was on Canadian soil. The northern boundary of New York state was the :forty-fifth paral- lel, and this fort was several hun- dred vards over the line. Work on the fort. came to an immediate stand- still, and the matter was subject of a special treaty. It was decided that in view of the fact that the United States had not intentionally encroached on Canadian soil the Torty-fifth parallel should be bent a little out of its course at this point. _so as to include -the fort. That 15- why 'the fort is called "Fort: Blun- der." It was never been occupied two men. armed and has never by more than one or At present a sergeant of marines "is" stationed there, and his sole duty is to 'raise and lower the i flag at' sunrise and sunset.

Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead, Pitts- burg, is fond of telling stories at his own expense. When he was rector of Church of the Nativity at South Bethlehem, Peun., he acquired a con- vert for the Episcopal church in the person of a Methodist woman who was much given t& contributing to the church services by interjecting "Amen" and. "Alleluia." He explained to the good woman that such ejaculations were not customary in the Episcopal church, and she sat gravely through a sermon on dignity and decorum in public worship. Afterward the bishe thanked her for restraining her fer- vor. "No peed to thank me." retorted the ex-Methodi<t. "You didn't sav anv- thing to make me' shout." : : They Are Fresh.

Unaer the provisions of the Liquor Act :, | A brewer in Ontario may brew and a distiller may distil; They may export to any place out- side the province. Liquor may be imported into On- tario from outside the province; Mail oraers may be executed from outside the province; » Orders may be taken in person in Ontario by travellers from outside the province. : -- Liquor may be kept for consumption in private houses; 5 The act gives the right of search even in private houses. Medical men may carry around two gallons at a time for their patients. The act is not a law to prohibit Sither manufacture, importation fr sale. It is a law to HARRASS AND IMPEDE TRADE. The province would lose: an annual 'revenue of §700,000. : It is a law which would increasé the trade of Quebec the expense of Ontario. It makes ONE LAW FOR THE RICH AND ANOTHER FOR THE POOR MAN. It would cause secret drinking. would increase the liquor in the homes. It would substitute an illicit traffic BY DISREPUTABLE PERSONS FOR A. REGULATED AND INSPECTED TRADE carried on by responsible per- sons. The Act would RENEW THE MORALIZATION of the which existed IN THE TIMES. DIRECT TAXATION WOULD BE INEVITABLE.

Lansdowne Farmers are Seeking Damages. ~ At the non-jury sittings of the high court here on the 15th will be tried the case of Bradley et al, Lansdowne farmers, against the Gananoque Wat- er Power company. Walkem & Walken are acting for the plaintifis, and Wat- son and Carroll for defendants. The case is of great importance, as there are about thirty plaintifis who have large claims for damages. The plaintiffs contend that the com- pany in the spring of 1901, by means of a dam at Marble Rock, on the Ga- nanoque River, hemmed back the wat- ter and overflowed the lands, destroy- ing the growing crops and meadows. They claim that the company's facili- ties for passing water through the dam are quitesinsufficient and not pro- perlv managed, and that the course of the river is. obstructed. There will be. close on 100 witnesses, and the case will last considerable time. Very ex- pensive preparations have been made for the trial, eminent engineers and surveyors having been employed.
