THR DAILY WHIG, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 18. NOT DUE TO CLIMATE. Catarrh Is Found Everywhere. Catarrh is at home anvwder: and everywhere. While more common mn cold, changeable climates, it is by 19 means confined to them, fut is pre valent in ciery «tate and territorv in the union. The common definition of catarrn is chronic cold in th2 hound, which if long neglected itan destroys the sense of smell and hearing; but thére are many other forms of the disease, ¢ven more obst'ave and danger ms, Catarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes as well as catarrh of the sto- mach and liver are almost as com- mon as nasal catarrh and generally more difficult to cure. Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood dig ease and can only be successfully era- dicated by an 'internal treatment. Sprays, washes and powders are use- less ax far as reaching the real seat: of the disease is concerned. Dr. Mclverney advises 'catarrh suf- ferers to nse a new preparation, sold by druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because actual analysis has shown these tablets to contain cer- tain anti septic qualities of the highest value and being an internal remedy, pleasant to the taste, convenient and harmless, can be used as freely as re- quired, as well for children as for adults. An attorney and public speaker, who had' been a catarrh sufferer for years, says : "Every fall I would catch a which would settle in my head throat and hang on all winter and every winter it seemed to zet a little worse. 1 was continually clear- ing my throat and my voice became affected to such an extent as to inter fere with my public speaking. "I tried troches and cheap cures and sometimes got relief, but only for a short time, until this win- ter when I learned of the new catarrch cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, through a newspaper advertisement. Two fifty cent boxés which IT bought at my druggists, cleared my head and throat in fine shape and to guard against a return of my old trouble 1 keep a box of the tablets on hand and whenever I catch a little cold 1 take a tablet or two and ward offi any seri ous developments." Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to head the list as a household remedy, to check and break up coughs and colds, because unlike many other ca- tarrh and cough cures, these tablets contain no opiate, cocaine or any in- jurious drug. cold and long couch Are You Looking For a Christmas Present your wife, mother, sister or If you would give her one that thoroughly appreciate and lighten her labor by half, besides sav- ing! much wear and tear on your car- vets, and the annoyance of having your house filled with dust. give her a Bissel cyco-bearing Carpet Sweeper.

Yesterday afternoon, two civic com- mittecs, those on property and parks, in which Messrs. White and Walkem have besn sturing as leading men, closed their year's engagement * in Kingston with a grand matinee per- formance. The latter company, three sirong e tiorday, played to small houses all aliny, and so, when the curtain was Lually rung down, they foun I themselves over $200 "in the hole. ut as director of ceremonies Walken would say : 'See all the fun we've had !"" The "property" man, it is understood, is rehearsing the role of principal in that well-known extravaganza, 'lhe Fight For the Mayor's Golden Chain." It is doubt ful, however, if the city will gren: him permission to pat it on. But to change from the melo-dramatic to the light comic opera again. Chairman WHite laid down his cane and took his seat at the bead of the long table, around which were group- ed Aldermen Graham, Tait, Sears and Abbott. A communication tenac cheese board, the city buildings poses, was read, year's committee. The Kinzston public for remisdion of rent of city hall, for concert purposes. Moved by Sears that the rent be remitted the usual conditions. Carried. D. Starr, president of the local Retail Merchants' As<oc ation, wrote asking for a conference with the com mittee with a Ciew to geltiig » clear er idea of the workings of. the tran sient traders' by-law. Ald. Graham moved ciation be granted a the committee. Ald. Sears did not see that the pro jerty committee had anything to do with the matter. A special committee should deal with it. Ald. Graham withdrew his and Ald. Sears substituted another, referrny the communication back to council anid recommending that g spe cial committee be named to confer with the gssociation. Carried. In regard to the Wolfe Island ferry matter, the chairman stated that he had interviewed the city solicitor to sce what power the city had re water front. He also interviewed private owners of wharves, but they were not in a position to give an answer at present. The from the [ron- askiny for use of for meeting - pur and referred to next library asked used Ald. on that the conference asso with motion, solicitor's letter was as fol lows : "lf the city wishes to ac- quire dockage rights for the ferrv at a private dock it must acquire them by purchase in the usual way. The dock opposite the old Market Battery on which the K. & P. railway station is built is owned by that company. 1 think the city might grant permission to the proposed ferry boat to land at the foot of any of the city streets. If the proposed hoat were constructed after the model of those in use in New York harbor, it might run into the slip head on and discharge by a gang- way let down from the boat's bow." Ald. Tait moved that every facility be granted the i-landers in this mat: ter, recommending that the slip at the foot of Clarence street be used. Carri ed. On motion of Ald. Graham, the usu City Registrar Gildersleeve wanted gas or electric light installed in his office, which is at present illiminated by coal oil lamps. He has the: power to order the work done without re- ference to the committee, but, as the city has to pay the-bill, he decided to leave the matter to the property com mittee, Only two tenders were put in : McKelvey & Birch, $55; Simmons Bros, $42. Gas will be put in, as elee- tric light is not available. On motion the contract was awardéd to the low- est ten lerer, Simmons Bros. At the request of Ald. Sears, Chair- man White explained that he bad giv- en the contract for the city's coal and wood supply to Robert Crawford, be- cause no other dealer--wonld 'consider an offer at the time. The city is pay- ing '87 a ton for coal and 87 4 cord for wood. The explanation was con si lerea satisfactory. Before the committee adjourned Ald. Abbott moved a vote of thanks to the chairman for the able manner in which he had conducted the year's business. This was seconded by Ald Sears, and unanimously carried, the chairman briefly responding.

This was owing to the erection of a basin in the (ity park, improve ments to the breakwater, the cuuiing of three crops of grass, ete. The com mittee's account- had been overdrawn about £200. The chairman sugested that the basin should be name, Ald. King considered that the hatin. was, to quote Keats, "A thing of Leanty and ga joy forever." Ald.

Commissioner Campbell Addresses a Meeting in the Council Chamber--Advocates the Abo- lition of Tolls. A public meeting was held in the city council chamber last night for the purpose of hearing an address? on the toll question by Mr. Campbell, com- missioner of public highways in On- tario. The attendance was decidedly but included several representa- tive citizens of Kingston and residents of Frontenac. Mr. Avery, M.P., Shar- bot Lake, occupied the chair, Mr. Pense read a letter from Warden Spoor, regretting his inability 'to be present, owing to illness. "Phe speaker paid a compliment to Mr! Campbell, who, he said, was an eflicient com- missioner in practical work, as well as being an able exponent of the roads question. Mayor Shaw asked to speak, but said he could make no definite statement as to what would be done in Kingston re- garding market tolls. That matter rested entirely with the electors. Mr. Campbell stated that he had addressed the Kingston township elee- tors at Cataraqui in the afternoon, and he had found tnat the people there were satisfied that the system was not the best in the interest of good roads, but they hesitate in making a change to a direct cash tax, overthrowing statute labor. The speaker pointed out that the yearly expenditure of la- bor in Ontario on roads 1,100,000 days and $3,500,000 in cash. This would equal $1,600,000 a year on the roads, but it was put out on no sys tem, in a careless and indifferent way. Mr. Campbell stated that if he was given the above amount he would un- dertake to macadamize in a very short time all the roads in the province. In Frontenac, Mr. Campbell said there had been spent during the past ten years 201,000 days of statute la- bor and $75,000 in cash, or equivalent to $276,000. This amount said the speaker should have given 275 miles of good roads, but he had spoken to leading county residents and they had declared that there were not ten miles of good roads outside the toll roads. And further, Mr. Campbell pointed out that virtually no improvement had heen made in Frontenac roads during the past ten years. And what was the trouble ? Simply a lack of system of building the roads. The speaker sev- crely critized the manner in avhich Frontenac's roads were attended He advocated better system and man- agement, and held that the main roads (toll roads) used by all the peo- ple, should be maintained by the county which should take steps to pur- chase the toll roads, which would am ount to about $17,000, Of this amount 825,000 could be at once from the Ontario government million dollar fund, if the county council laid down a scheme whereby all the municipalties of Frontenac would receive a just share. Mr. 18 to. vot bene- toll road Campbell discussed the fits of abolishing the thirteen gates and, of re-organizing the system. Among those who made . brief marks was County Councillor Rev- nolds, who stated that next year's county council would not abolish road tolls unless the city met them half way, and threw off the market tolls. fle further pointed out that the coun- ty council had g4he power to buy up the toll roads, without the authoriza- tion of the electors.

Great Water Power and Mineral Resources There. Sudbury, Ont.., Dec. 15.--(To the Fd- itor) : The rink opens here to-morrow evening with a band in attendance. The local hockey team have met and will practice Wednesday evening. Sud bury should not be very far behind in hockey, as there are a few 'Varsity boys here to play, and the far-famed Montreal teany has contributed one of its fastest, Wynn. We expect to put up a great showing here this year. Copper Cliff rink opened last Friday night, and the hockey team there had a meeting afterwards. A match will be played between the two towns in the near future. The world's = champion shot-putter was in town last week. He is located at Spanish River, where he is the manager of the Spanish River Pulp and Paper company. J. S. Miller, proprietor of the White House here, has put in a gasoline en- gine and will light his house by his own plant in future. His bill last month for three months' light was $561.70. The town of Sudbury ought to be in excellent financial standing in a few years, owning such a paying business as the electric plant, or else the individual people will all be bank- rupt. There are only seventy-nine lichts in the house, too. I think this is a little higher than even Kingstdn bas charged. The long distance telephone is be- ing developed here quite rapidly. Al ready we can speak with people ten or twelve miles away, and by May of next year we will be able to call up the business houses of Toronto. Every one is in great hopes of the Grand Trunk-eeming this way, "and expect Sudbury to take a great step to the front next year. If- the G.I.R. does comes we think that perhaps Sud bury's prosperity will be more last- ing, or at any rate, more stable, then that of -Sault Ste. Marie. We are more in the centre of the very things that built the Soo up--iron, ete., with an abundant supply of pulp wood close at hand. None of it will have to be hauled to the mills by rail.
