Polion Magistrate Farrell had a very ange case before him this morning. ab J. 4. O'Reilly, county inspector of liquor licenses, had Mrs. Whelan, In verary, arraigned on a charge of sell ing liquor without a ° license. Com- | plaint was made by a young. resident of the pounty- who recently had some trouble with Mrs. Whelan. The defend ant pleaded guilty to the charge, Le ing unrepreseiited hy counsel, and also unadvised. This = being Mrs. Whelan's third offence, the magistrate did not have any: other option but to send her to jail for six months, which sentence he pronounced. Mrs. Whelan keeps a hotel at the cross-roads. Inverary, She has a fami- ly of five small children to previde for, and is handicapped by the dact that she has bot one arm, the other having been lost in a railroad acci dent some years ago. It seems hard that she must go to jail for six wonths, and leave her small iaraily without that care which a mother ean alone exercise, At the same time the wagistrate cannot be Llamed, as he did not have any option left; he sim ply had to carry out, the provisions of the law. The outcome will likely be a petition to the Ontari government, setting forth the facie' and asking for Mrs. Whelan's ro forthwith.

A lady' well known in Bristol, Ontario County, N.Y., tells of the experience she had curing her only child by the use od scientific food : "My little daughter, the only child and for that reason doubly dear, inherited nervous dyspepsin. We tried all, kinds of re medies and soft foods. At last, when patience was about exhausted and the child's condition had grown so bad the whole family .« was aroused, we A friend recommended the food as one which her own delicate children had grown strong upon so I purchas- ed a box--as a last resort.

It was all very well in the day when armies fought with bows and arrows and bat- tle axes, but it should give way to a That of the grey-drab, with broad: brimmed kat, seems to fll the bill. While every feature of the service has been improved, the uniform has been lowed to remain intact. Helmets are t as comfortable and serviceable to the men as a muzzle is fo a bear. Speaking of a distinctive Canadian uniform, anvone who attended the re: cent coronation ceremonies in Lon don, or was at the two Vietoria Jubi- lee ceremonies, must have been im- pressed with the need of this for Can- ada. Every colony which sent troops to these functions had them so parti- eularly marked by some feature of the clothing, that they could be pick ed out at a glance, but with theCa nadians they were attired the same as the British volunteer Tommy Atkins, and were passed over vnnoticed. This was a little rough on the men, who missed manv courtesies in consequence. Lord Strathcpna had a, correct idea of what the times demanded and the comfort of the men fequired when he clothed his famous regiment, and the Canadiad authorities could not do better than adopt it intact. --SOL- DIER. LENNOX AND ADDINGTON, Rural Deanery Holds Sunday- School, Convention. . A Sunday. school : convention of the rural deanery of Lennox and Adding- fon was held at Yarker yesterday, the neighboring clergy and. delegates at- tending, some thirty=six in all, The ladies of Yarker entertained the clergy and delegates, and the archdeacon. of Ontario preached an admirable ser mon on "Peeaching Christ," in the evemng. At the convention it was resolved : {A) Thet one system of lessons for Sunday schools be recommended the same to be graded. Leaflets improved with interesting narratives. (B) That examinations, for pupils and teachers be held . annually; also normal classes: for teachers he en couraged, Hurlbnt's svstem of peda gogy was recommended. The rural dean was appointed presi dent of the Deanery Sunday School Association: Rev. J. W. Jones, Mrs. Finkle, vice presidents: R. Dudley Hill, secretary-treasurer; also a strong committee. Cigarette Smoking Prevails. "Some body. ought to be fined for selling cigarettes to minors," remark- ed a tobacco dealer this morning. "It is a shame to see so many small boys puffing cigarettes. 1 have them apply- ing to me, right along for these smokes, 'but 1. have made it a prac- tice not to sell to boys, But there is little use in me refusing if other deal ors are so grasping as to accept their money and give « the boys cigarettes. What is the use ofl having a law un- less it is enforced, whose duty it is to see that the law: is respected. If we have officials for that purpose, why is it that they do" not. perform their duty The Road Is Dangerous. A great many complaints have been registered against the dangerous con dition of the roadbed on Barrie street, between William and Johnston streets. A sewer was built in that street over a vear ago, and no effort has since been made to place the street in a passable condition. Tt is full of large stones, and ruts, and a big hump sticks up above the road level, mark- ing the line of the sewer. Rebuilding The Wall. At last that .menace to the publi: safety and cause of many a lengthy and heated discussion in council, is being removed. Work has been begun upon the old Montreal street retain- ing wall, with. a view. to rebuilding it. The old stone work is heing raz- ed to the foundation and will be con- structed new. throughout, thus remov- ing what has been for many years ax eye-sore and 'a public nuisance. _ Improving The Property. Messrs. Harty and Bermingham have improved their property at the cor ner of King street and St. Lawrence avenue by planting © about fifty fine biz maple trees, some of them seven inches through at the butt. A branch of the water works service is being run down from Stuart street to the property, so that the trees may be watered to keep them from dying. All Caused By Drink. Young Lamell, brought back from Watertown, N.Y., for clearing off with money belonging to another, says he cashed the cheque in Kingsten and crofved to this side while intoxicated and then did not dare to return. He res he is through with roystering and that, when he has completed his punishment on the Canadian side, the courts will knew him no more. a------------ Black cat to-night "iy Jenkins win THE NEWT 14.~(To the Edi- armouries Saat. ev: ening and witnessed a parade of three ranches of the Canadian militia scr with jwhich some of modern and common swmse uniforms : Pi WHAT KINGSTO ANTS ARE UP The Bill Generally Approved--De- tails Alone Challenged--A Rif Between Wholesalers and Re- tailérs--Each Feels the Other Is It. S) to the Whig. Torento, 'May 13.--The select com- ceived deputations to-day. The muni- cipal association met at Hamilton pes- terday, made a presentment against jjust the act and had sent representatives. The attorney-general declined to take the resolitions of a comparatively few municipalities as an expression of gen- persons were present representing councils other than those of Toronto and Hamilton: there © was no answer and the municipal forces suffered nu shock, City Solicitor MeKelcan, of Hamilton, claimed for ihem that a de- érease of $35,000 on an assessment of $27,000,000 would oceur in that city. He objected to cost of fire protection being placed 'on buildings, exempting vacent lots, the least worthy of as- sessed property. He defended the pre sent perscnal property tax and wes called up short to explain whv Ham- ilton's personal assessment hd fallen because of shirkers from $3,311,580 in 1836 to $2,544,650 in 1599, though the place had greatly grown in size and wealth, and real estate had advanced in assessment from $15,780,240 in'1886 to $23,402,810 in 1899. He wanted busi- ness men taxed on income as well as on stock and buildings. He desired that school taxes be not removed from machinery, ete., now to be free altogether. The Manufacturers' Association. throngh President Thorne, declared itself in favor of principles of the new hill; it was on' lines they were anxious to see established. They had no objections to offer, but had a good- ly attendance to hear the discussions. Retailers Want Better Terms. Messrs. Rogers, Gibbard and Tworen made an carnest. plea for the Retail Merchant Association. They approved the principle of the bill, but the appli cation was open to decided improve ment: 'A uniform business tax was vn- fair; it should vary from 3 to 5 per cent., not" be fixed at 74 per cent. ar bitrarily; the wholesalers' rate should be 10 per cent. Department stores should be taxed separately on each department as in Quebec, since they were practically a dozen retail stoves, as compared with outside business concern, each paying a full tax. 'The small trader living over his store was to be taxed on the high! business basis for his home; he desired to be fairly treated by his house tax being placed on same plane of exemption as separate houses jn. side streets. and suburbs. The retailers yearned for the end of the vexatious and unfair per sonal tax, and hailed the business tax as a boon if equitably applied. The Big Fellows Satisfied. The Toronto Board of Trade dele gates applanded the: proposed busi- ness tax which had been successful in Montreal and - Winnipeg, and azainst which small dealers were not com- grading between wholesalers. and re- tailers was impracticable; one test was that of Jobers, Justice would be much greater under the new hill; so many would not shirk righteous taxes. A host of dealers now paid a ridiculously small tax, occupying small premises with small stocks, daily replenished. Then some retailers made more than wholesalers. To re- impose income tax, as some asked, would lead to the old shirking and inquisitorial actions. he single tax representatives ap planded the act, denounced per- sonal taxes. Representatives of the fraternal as- sociation asked where they stood. The committee felt that their income was not taxed in the bill, but that they were liable to the business tax. To this the societies werg agreeable. But they asked to have it expressly stated in the law that friendly bene volent associations would not be as- sessed on surplus or. incomes, hecause of the good order of work they per- formed. This request seemed to be approved by the committee, snd ad- journment took place until Friday. A Home Illustration. There is a volume of argument in one of the statistical tables of the as- sessment commission as to shirking of taxation by the classes most able to' pay. Take Kingston, for instance. on its mumicipal assessments ¢ Real. Personal. Income. 1886 $5,008,635 $1,112,100 $411,450 1896 6,506,745 854,100 260,060 1899 6,757,945 800,589 269,675 Thus the proportion of taxation on real estate has thus in thirteen years risen from .767 to .876, while personal tax has. . dropped - from 233 to .124. The proportion is about the same all over the prowince. Truly it was time for a change. Great Value in Clothing To Order.
