HOW TO DRINK MILK. Why it Disagrees With Some Peo- ple. When one needs a reviving stimulant after exhaustion nothing can ridal the efiects of hot milk sipped slowly.

The rizht way is to sip the milk in small amounts. so that each mouthivl as it rescends into the stomach. currounced by the gastric fluid, when the whole glassiul is down the efiect is that of a spongy mass of curds, in and out of which the keen gastric juices course, speedily doing their work of turning the curd into peptones that the tissues can take up.

He was an in- dependent alderman and always voted as he thouzht best in the interests of the people, Ex-Alderman A. brought forward the man Graham for the office of mayor.

When the hour of receiving nomina- tions passed, the city clerk retired, after having moved that Mayor Shaw take the chair, which arrancement was carried out. Speeches Of Candidates. At the suggestion of Mayor Shaw the candidates began their addresses. Alderman Bell was the first, Alderman White second, and Aldegman Graham third, Each candidate. had a number of admirers present, but most enthusi- asm was shown Alderman Graham throughout the proceedings. Alderman White's speech was short and pointed. He referred to his chair- manship of two committees, his serv- ing on all important committees, and his independent course on all ques- tions. He said that if elected his course as mayor would be character- ized with the same fearlessness and independence. Alderman Bell in" replying to Alder- man Graham, showed that the last named had a deficit of $12.26 as the chairman of parks. The speaker said that Alderman Graham was wrong in saying that the budget of this vear showed gu déficit of 8750; the butchers' license fee was raised, he said, Le- cause the butchers requested it; the hizh « license fee was reduced because of the scarcity of meat in the market. He accused Alderman Graham of hav- ing collected money for a fountain and had not returned it. Alderman White had nothing to sav in reply to the former speakers. Alderman Graham, in reply, stated that for the proposed fountain in the City Park, he had collected $10 from one party, $5 from another, and sev- re- turned; one-sum of fifty cents and an- other of &'"he had not returned; he surely was good for that amount. Pell was trying to make out that the speaker was dishonest, which was un- faiv ana untrue. He had put through more important legislation in his four years he sat in council than had Ald. Bell in his six years; the only measure that Alderman Bell had put through was a milk by-law, tax ing everybody who kept a cow. Th speaker was not afraid to face anv question brought before council and shirked 3 vote. The meeting closed with the king and the mayor. cheers for ALDERMANIC CANDIDATES. Sydenham Ward.

The executive of the Frontenac Hoe- key Club have brought matters to a terminus, so far as connection with the O.H.A. is concerned For years past, Kingston clubs have been in the habit of visiting: Jittsburg and play- ing exhibition matches. This month, the Frontenacs, before the O. H. A™ mandate was issued, entered into contract the same as last year. Their request to O.H.A. executive to treat their case with consideration resulted" in 4 waste of energy, as that body, which has yearly been paying from $200 to $300 for an "amateur" see retary, could not think of permittin; their clubs to become contamingted by going to Pittshurg and playing again t "professionals," who,' from ull accounts, have to work pretty hard at their various mercantile em- ployments, hockey being their nightly pastime. The Frontenacs had no other alter native hut to resign from the Ontario association. The latter has now no authority over them, oni as th Frontenacs will make sure to play against no ofiicially. declared profes- siona's, while in Pittsburg, conse quently no organization in Canada dare professionalize ° any of them. 1h: Fronteriaés are now accountable only to the officers of the Quinte District Hockey League, gnd if ite president cides to give the Frontenacs 5 permit to visit Pittsburg, his authority is as absolute as that of John Ross Robertson; and each player will return as Simon Pits an amateur ps when he left.

Mr. Smith asks the Frontenacs to play against no known professionals, which will cor tainly not be done if the Kingston team decides to go. All eare will be exercised in that regard.

On Saturday Kingston theatre.goers { had the privilege and pleasure of wit nessing, both In the afternoon and evening, a new reproduction of that {always popular English comedy, "Caste." There has perhaps not been a season in many years when this play has not been revived in old Lon- don, where its. charming blend of { simple pathos and humor has endear | ed to the seemingly for, all So it not strange that H. Brennan organized a new espdially for this play, which appeared for the first time in | Ogdensburg on Christmas night and in Brockville on F iday evening. Its third appearagge was on the : "fage at the Grand opera house, this city. Mr. Brennan has succeeded in get ting together an exceptionally strong and clever company, and their work it time. people on Saturday left nothing to be desir {ed They were well received here, and 'on all sides the mew production re ceived warm compliments. And it deserved them. story of the pla natural one. Eccles, good-for-nothing drunkard, who is preaching the rights of laboring man, is the fathor daughters, Esther George. D'Alroy, a voung nobleman, and the son of the Marquis de St. Maur, falls inllove with Esther. She is equally infatua ted with him, but pleads with him to give her up because of the inequality 'their stations in life. He throws ste to the wind and marries he: A voung gas fitter, Samuel Gerridge by name, is Polly's lover, and the furnish considerable amusement: while the drunken Eccles keeps the audience in of laughter. That ix the first act. The second introduces George's mo who warns him not to disgracs name by just such a mai riage, George's regiment has been or «d to India, and his captain, Haw , comes to warn him to be at hi post in time. The scene that ensues when the mother discovers her son's marriage and the husband's parting irom his bride, furnish scope for good work, which Mr. Brennan's company capably fulfilled. The third act show: the young wife in widow's garb, weep ing over the cradle of her baby boy for the father who is supposed to have been killed. But he returns, and to her sister falls the difficult task oi hreaking the news. This she does in a most original and clever manner George's mother forgives them at and Pollv and her lover receive father's blessing, Robert V. Ferguson is the comedian, taking the character of Eccles. He i well known to Kingstonians, who ad mired his clever work as Sparkish, in "The Country Girl," which appeared here last season. Helis well-fitted fon the role. and was the recipient of arty praise. William A. Evans, as Clerridge. made a typical English lad i the middle classes. The accent, the abruptness and © the manner through out were thoroughly English. William Hazeltine did equal justice to the character of Capt. Hawtree, and at once won the favor of the audience Mary Scott..as Esther Eccles, the unhappy wile, made a decided hit. She is a Californian actress who has starred in several plays. Her efiorts on Saturday, in a rather difficult role, were highly sucedssiul. Sadie Handy, as her sister Polly, is pretty and viva cious, full of fun and well adapted to the character she impersonated. She, hor jover and her--tipsy parent sup plied any amount of good comedy. One of the leading members of the company is the Countess de Castel veechio," the high-born mother of the Hon. George. This lady, a clever act ress of attractive appearance, is a rrandniece of Napoleon Bonaparte and a ldauchter of Napoleon's brother, Louis, king of Holland. She possesses the commanding appear ance, the bricht eve and proud car riage that micht be expected in the daughter of so illustrious a line. Altogether Mr. Brennan has gathered a strong and clever company, whos: presentation of this charming old omedy, which fair never to lose ts popularity, is such 'as to win for t unstinted applause wherever it goes Théir work here was exceptionally lever, and every spectator was pleased.
