SHE ESCAPED THE KNIFE. Ten Months of Peace After Dread- ful Suffering. Operations are becoming a fad; every young.-man, as soon as he is graduat- ed from a medical college, considers himself caj...le of undertaking the most serious and complicated surgical work, and hundreds of lives are sacri- ficed "annually to this mad fren of incompetent mens to rush inte work - which should only be undertaken as a last resort, and then only by the most experienced and careful surgeons. It pleasure, in view of these facts, to Yead the following letter from a woman who has been saved from one of these dangerous opera- tions.

KINGSTON GAVE 97 MAJOR- ITY AGAINST. For 1483, Against 1580--At The Prohibition Rooms--The Li- quor Men Disappointed -- Stuffed Ballot Boxes. On Thursday the, Kingston elector- ate, by a majority 'of! nine en votes, decided against prohibition. To the question of the Ontario govern- Are you in favor of bringing into effect the Liquor Act of 19027 there were 1,483 voters who answered Yes, and a who said No. The contest was warmly waged, and the interest became kéener after the prohibitionists had effected the arrest of two alleged personators and were hot on the trail of several others. Never were-the two parties so well organized, each realizing that the fieht was to the death. But the li- quor men were far more confident, and, before the polls closed, declared that they would have 400 majority. Accordingly, the result was some- what disappointing to them., The prohibitionists, however, were jubi- lant, as they had not anticipated get- ting so large a vote as that recorded on their side. Compared with the vote in 1898 the prohibitionists gained over 300, while the -anti-prohibitionists just held their own. Of course it is to be remember- ed that the antis did not require to vote. The result depended entirely upon how many votes were cast in favor of the act, and notupon a ma- jority. In order to contribute her share. of the provincial vote, Kings tom required to secure 15980, but" this number wus not reached 'by much less than 3500. However, its realization was never expected. TThe vote cast here in 1898 was 710, while the present one totalled 3,063, an increase of 353. The anti prohibition majority = of 417 in 1808 was pulled down to below the 100 mark. ' At fivd o'clock in the evening, a large crowd assembled in front of the Whig office to watch the result: of the duy's voting bulletined. A constant round of cheering was maintained as the returns were one by one posted. At first the tide seemed to be strong- ly in favor of the liquor party, the down town polls rolling®up a major- ity of 200 when half the returns were received. Then when the up-town re sults came to hand, this majority gradually decreased, lowest to sixty-two, and then advanc- ing to ninety-seven, the final result. The prohibitionists. went home to their evening meal quite happy over their campaign work and the result of dropping at the the day's voting, The figures by sub divisions and wards are : By Subdivisions.

Scores of citizens gathered outside the prohibition committee rooms, last to learn the returns as they were posted on the windows. Many of the hardest workers in the cause were inside the rooms, including Rev. John Boyd, the energetic cam paign. secretary, John Melntyre, K.C., Alderman Francis King, W. J. Sav age, Lieut.-Col. Hunter, D. E. Starr, Dr.- Lake, and others, Some of them were disappointed at the result, for they expected to get a majoritv: oth- ers were pleased, because the i acainst them this time was a hundyped, while in was. ov 1808. © That was somethi thankful for, they reasoned. Alderman 'King figured uf the evening, ss than 100 in to be Te- turns, and arrived at the f{dllowing totals : _ For the act, 1,451: agains 1,575: majority against, 91. There were no speeches, and when Rev, Me. Bovd was asked what his opinion of the result was he replied . "I am not one whit disappointed. Whyt we pulled down the liauor men's majority of 400, in 1898, to 91. And we'll-pull that down, too. Deputy re- turning officers told me a few minutes ago that they were willing to swear that there were about thirty stuffed ballots." of While he was another man 'was distinctly to be heard, as he talked to a group of workingmen before him.

Is it any wonder that we want to wipe the traffic out ? Some of them have given me their money to keep, because they knew that they would spend it in drink." Notes On The Contest. The vote cast was S96 than in the Harty-Smythe _ election of [595 and 887 less than in the Pense Shaw election of May last. However, it fully 'as large as was expected. Rev. J. D. Boyd, the prohibition campaign secretary, considers that the prohibitionists. really won the battle in Kingston. He points out that the ballot box stuffing 'and personations gave the anti-side fully 100 more votes than they really were entitled to. The prohibition serutineers declare that a peculiar state of things exist as far as the ballot box in No. 5 sub- division, St. Lawrence ward, is con- cernett.. In that division eighty-five men voted, vet when the ballot box was opened it was, found to contain ninety-five ballots all bearing what was supposed to the deputy-re turning officer's signature. One ballot was rejected, because it was marked both "yes" and "no"; 'seventy-three votes were against prohibition and twenty-one in favor of it. This means that there were twelve stuffed ballots in the hox, if the statements of the prohibitionists are correct. less he AT THE GRAND. A Splendid Company And a Small House. It occasionally happens that a poor attraction draws a crowded house, and that a first-class company is ob- liged 16 play to almost vacant That is another illustration iron of fate, and it occurred again last evening. Charles A. Taylor's "Queen of the Highway," an excellent attrac tion put on hy a strong company, drew a very small house, whereas it deserved the best support the city could give.

Coffee was "first discovered in _ the sixth century by an Arabian shepherd who having observed the goats of his flock. skip "about and other display sions of intoxication after cating the coliee berry, concluded to. try its ei fects on himself, and thus discovered its exhilarating property. This discovery proved the poor shep: herd's undoing, for he indiscriminate ly used large quantities, green, for its exhilarating effect and soon died, poi soned by its use. In the sixteenth century. it was in- troduced into France, and was used so strong and excessively, particularly by the Parisians that it was found to injure alike the complexion and diges- tion. This discovery prevented its gen eral introduction into other European countries for the néxt century. Since that period, its growth has gradually spread through the civilized world, despite the fact that pain and destruction follow its path, dyspepsia having been hardly known before its introduction.

Around the oblong table in the of- fice of the city engineer were gathered Aldermen Molcod, chairman; Craig, | Maciarlane, McCammon, Walkem, City' itor Mclntyre and City En- gineer patrick, at a regular con- vocation of the board of works, Thursday afternoon. The first item of business considered was a communication from D. A.

Mr. Givens was in attendance and presented statutory declarations, set- ting forth the above facts, and show- ing the property owners to have the rivht to use the sewer, free of charge, in consideration of having given the land for stréet and sewer. Mr. Givens maintained that there was no docu- mentary evidence in the city's archives to show that the city had ever ac- quired the Wadsworth land, compris ing the westerly portion of Clergy street west, at the time of the strect opening helng owned by R. J. Car- 'arson had asked the coun- r the land. "Givens went into the question in minute detail and made out a strong case for the property owners. Chairman McLeod pointed out that Mr. son. the matter 'was one of great import- ance, but one almost entirely involv- ing points of law. Upon resolution of Ald. Craig, the question was referred to the city en- gineei and city solicitor for a report. The recommendation of. the board of health, that a sewer be construct- ed in Rideau street north, to drain houses Nos. 172 to 184, on sanitary grounds, was next considered. The city. engineer stated that he had inspected the property affected and he was of opinion that a sewer was a necessity; the houses drain into a crevice in the rock.

It was decided, on motion of Ald. Craig, to grant the request of William Newlands, and to remove a tree front- ing the new residence of Dr. Sands. The request of the street railway company for permission to stop cars in front of the opera house, and ask- ing that the city build a crossing from the curbing on the south side of the street to the street company's ra was considered in great detail. Ald. Walken moved that the request be granted and that a crossing be constructed. Ald. Craig moved in amendment that the question of constructing ine be deferred. The engineer stated that a wooden crossing would cost about $2 Ald. McFarland Considered the out- lay too great for a temporary walk. Ald. Crairy favored a permanent crossing, but in the failure of supply- a Cross- ing this, he considered that if the street was -kept swept, it would «an- swer the purpose for the time being: It was suggested that the crossing be constructed" if the company woull take up the blind switch at that point and straighten the used track, but this was not acted upon. The «ity solicitor informed the hoard that it was within the power of the city to construct a crossing there and to allow the company to stop cars there, for the purpose of taking on and lettiig off passengers. lf the company allowed the cars to stand on the track at that point longer than was necessary to take on or let olf passer it could aksume the risk of prose ution' under the terms oft its agreement with the city. Ald. Craig's amendment was carrie, Ald. McCammon refusing to hut being opposed to a temporary walk. The complaint of E. C.
