The long continued dry wea- ther is showing its effects on the grain and meadows, as they are withering and burning up. Pastures' are suf fering very much for rain. The supply of milk is rapidly decreasing at the difierent cheese factories. Hay buyers are on the alert, particularly an: Am- erican who is buying all the hay he can procure. He "has four presses running at present. He will load the steamer Hinckley and consort at Marysville next week for American points. Road work has «Poor started under the supervision. +... Road Commissioner Hiram Davis. The ratepayers are up in arms against this method of doing work, and the chat by the wayside is that the present council are a very ex- travagant one. At yesterday's ses- gion of the council Mr. Tait, Kings- "fon, was to secure if possible the grading of the roads at $12 per day. It is some time since a death oe curred in our midst that has caused as much universal sorrow as that of Richard Lyons, whose funeral 'took place yesterday to the Catholic church. Deceased had been ailing for some time from throat affection. Miss Katie McDonald, recently removed to the House of Providence, Kingston, died there yesterday. Her funeral will take place to-morrow from her late bro ther's residence. A fair meeting was called for last week, but as a quorum was not present no. business was transacted.

A resolution passed by the board audit recommendiny commuting of the sherifi's fees at $300 a year was read. Deputy Sheriff Asselstine ex: plained" that the gmount was fixed as an average over some years. Council lors Pillar and Franklin moved that the fees be commuted, but an amend- ment of Councillors Gray and Wilkins to.lay . the matter over till Friday was finally agreed to unanimously. A deputation consisting of Prof. Marshall, D. M. McIntyre, Archdeacon Carey, W. B. Skinner, Dr. Wood and Dr, Herald was present on behalf of the General Hospital. : It was shown that the cost of main- taining: the. poor patients of the coun- ty was far in excess of the covnty council grant and county subscripticn: and the burden therefore lay upon the citizens of Kingston. The deputation asked a substantial grant for the im- provements .and additions. to. .be un- dertaken,- viz., the building of a nurs es' home and the better equipment of an isolation hospital. ~ The Wolfe Island assessment camdup for discussion, this question having been before the years. past. -Reeve Fawcett was pre- sent from th: island, accompanied by the island coumcil's solicitor, D. M. Melntyre,, It will be remembered that a whole heap of trouble arose over Wolfe Island dropping from the Svd- cnham high sthool district, and the pétter was only partially settled. The present "object was to devise a meth. Lod of "sdttlig the matter for good. Tt was © genetully agreed that all Wolfe Island was ble for wee about $55 a Year, which i% must pay towards the Sydenham: high school, according to law, 'along with th® other townshifs. Its former assessment of $110. more it would not have to pay, as it po long- er belonged to the school district. Reeve Storms and Alfred Hunter of Portland, addressed the council, ask- inf for a grant towards the cost in curred by that township in caring for a large number of small-pox cases re- cently. The amount the township had to pay was $1105. The subway question was again up for hearing, the council being address- ed by their solicitor, Mr. Mowat, who told them that if they abandoncd their intention of making the railway find- ing an order of court thev should ask the ¢ity to indemnify them against further cost and also pay the cost of the present application. City Solicitor McIntyre told the county council that he would advise the cit council to pay the costs so far incurred if the county withdrew their application. Councillor Stoness spoke strongly against abandoning the building of the subway. The matter hid Leen be fore the coundil for twénty years, and now it looked strange that after the right to build had been obtained. the county should think of backing down because the cost may be a little hich. His township of Portland was willing to pay its share of the cost. Council adjourned till two o'clock Friday afternoon, the members in the meantime accepting the warden's invi tation to accompany him on a trip to Watertown, N.Y. The Funds Available. Prof. Marshall, chairman of the General Hospital Board of Governors, gives an estimate of the funds at their digposal for the nurses' home and changes: in the isolation building : Nurses' Alumnae to supply $2,000, of which $1,500 is on hand; Doran es tate, $1,500; a legacy due in six months, 82,800; King's Daughters to secure $1,200, of which $600 is raised; to borrow from Doran estate $3,000; total about $10,000. About $7,000 more is required to meet the cost, and the county. council is asked for a grant of $2,000, none too small an amaoiint, considering the great bene- its 'Frontenac gets from the general hospital.

The formal" protest of the Univers: 5 ernment's patriiony was tered yesterday by a. deputation of Shere) ity men who waited on Premier: Ross and Hon. Mr. Harcourt. President Loudon, Dr. Burwash and Dr. Tuffy,. on' behalf of the federated university, urged st ly that 'the demnads of the provincial university for further aid must always come first, that the province "was not in a position to support two provincial universities, and that 'the revenues of the loeal university were still Very far short of reqoirements. . They strongly objected to the rumored proposal that the gov- ernment should assume control of the Kingston School of Mining, thereby virtually supporting to a large ex: tent _ the science department of Queen's. The views of the deputation were embodied in a memorial which stated that 'Whilst every. effort was thus being made by the university authori- ties to carry out in good faith : the terms of federation, the government and legislature, in the Burth year after the proclamation of the federa- tion act, began the subsidizing of the school of mining at Kingston, thereby relieving Queen's - University of the cost of maintaining certain scientific departments of its arts. faculty, also. So eonsiderable has the aid afforded become that all the scientific depart ments of Queen's University (except- ing biology), together with mathema- tics, are now maintained at .the cost of the province. The amount of sub- vention for salaries and maintenance was $23,500 in 1902, exclusive of the large sum granted for building pur- poses. The aggregate of these subven- tions has amounted to $150,300." Continuing the memorial . declares that the acceptance of Queen's new proposition as to the school of mines "means, in effect, the establishment of a second provincial university, in so far at least as regards the faculty of applied science! and the scientific departments of the arts faculty. It implies not only the continuance, on ent grants, but also an enormous fu- ture expenditure for further develop- ment and expansion. In other words the proposed step commits the pro- vince permanently to a system of du- plication in. regard to university edu- egtion, which will result, if adopted, in a futile attempt to maintain two institutions upon ° resources which, with "dué economy, are barely suffi-' cient for the adequate maintenance and development of one." The premier declared that the gov- ernment had no intention of support- ing a second provincial university, but that it was the intention to support an efficient school of mines in Eastern Ontario. He promised to consider the question of what part of the Queen's science 'department shall be included in that school. It is probable that a sharp line will be laid down in this connection. The deputation included Rev. Dr, Potts, Dr. Hoskin, Dr. R. A. Reeve, Dr. Primrose, Principal Hutton, Dr. Bain, "Prof. Froy, Prof. Wallace, Prof. Baker, Prof. Wright, Prof. Rob- ortson, Prof. McCallum and Registrar Bribner, Statements Utterly False. Prof. Dupuis, acting principal of Queen's, was interviewed this morning by a Whig reporter relative to the sweeping charge that the scientific de- partments of the university are being maintained at the cost of the pro- vince, "The statements are utterly false," he replied, on being shown the memo- rial presented to the government by the Toronto University deputation. "Mathematics is still maintained by the arts department, though. the min- ing school also teaches the subject As to chemistry, physics, mineralogy, and geology, while these subjects ave maintained by the science department, vet the university pays a certain am- aunt for every arts and medical stu- dent. who takes the classes. Therefore the charge that the province is foot- ing the cost is false." FARMERS' INSTITUTE. Annual Meeting--Officers Elected-- Places of Meeting. The annual. meeting of the Frontenac Farmers' Institute was held in the court house, Thursday morning. Pre sident W. Guthrie occupied the chair, and in his opening remarks stated that the meetings held during the past year were the best in the his- tory of the institute. These directors were elected : Stor- rington, Knight, - T. Makin; Loborough, . A. J. Sharpe, Willian Guthrie; Pittsburg, John Davis, J. A, Wilmot; Kingston, Hugh Rankin, Wil iiam Pillar; Portland, Alfred Hunter, J. D. Shibley: Wolfe Island, A. Doc- teur, Job." Watts; Kingston city, Dr. Bell, J. F. Knapp, D. D. Rogers and A. E. Milton were appointed auditors. J. L. Haycock suggested that if a circnlar letter was sent to leading farmers, the membership would be in- creased. It was moved by J. F. Knapp, se conded by H. Rankin and resolved, that the institute communicate with the department of agriculture as to increasiag time limit for farmers' ex- cursions. The farmers find the: time altogether . too short. At. a subsequent meeting of the di rectors, these officers were elected : President, H. - Rankin, - 'Collins Bay; vice-president, Joshua: Knight, Elgin- burg; secretary-treasurer, A. Ritchie, Inverary. : These places of meetings were arran ved : Regular meetings in December, Svdenham and Elginburg; supplemen- tary meetings in January at West vrook, Perth Road, Sunbury and Joyceville. A vote of thanks was tendered to the retiring presjdent, Mr. Guthrie, for valuable serivees rendered during the year. -------- We Talk Through Our Stock. 7 Ibs. brown sugar, 25¢. 2 Ibs. black tea, 25e. 11h pure Java and coffee, 23¢c., at Mullin's. -- "Clarified ice eream," the kind you Mocha blend Ta FIR 5 feet and feet seem themselves, a few. days, but WAS DAVIDSON & THACK- " \RAY'SBIG MILL. 'Large Portions of Sparks and Saved $250,000 -- Firemen Ottawsr, June 4.-Fire which broke out at 6:45 o'clock, this worming, swept a part , of the business centre of Ottawa, laying in ashes large por- tions of 8S and Queen streets, be- tween and Kent streets. . _ Broken' and irregular columng- of smouldering ruins are all 'that remain where stood the big mill, factory and Tuber yards of Davide & Thack- ray, printing and lighogra establishments of the Ne ographing pany, the clothing manufactory of R. J. Smith & Co., the paint works of Peter Stewart, and other smaller con- cerns. Half a dozen private resi: dences 'on the south side of Queen street were completely destroyed, and four or five houses on the north side of Albert stroet were damaged. . The Joss is approximately estimated at a quarter of a million dollars. * Nearly 'three hundred people (ave thrown out of emplovment. The fact that there was but the slightest wind, together with well managed efforts of the firemen, alone prevented the whole of Sparks street being wiped out, Jt was a auarter to seven when the fire was discovered and disinterested parties say it originated in the Queen street part of Pavidson & Thackray's mills.» It was claimed that the blaze started in' Gray's stables, adjoining the mill, but firemen say they had water on the mill before the stables caught at all. Just what caused it, whether it was a spark from the smoke-stack or what, may never be known. Piled in and around the mill were good sized quantities of dried hember, a hig stock of doors, sashes and boxes, in fact, it would not be uncharitable "to call the whole flats a sort of fire trap. Davidson & Thack- ray had an immense pile of doors and sashes ready for-shipment to South Africa, which went up like paper, be- ing made of well-seasoned pine, Will Cost Each $6,000. The city engineer has now estimated that if the subway at the G.T.R. junction is built, the city and the county will each have to pay $6,000, and the city is determined not to be forced "into" this privilege of spending so much money on ground outside the limits. There is every probability of the, city winning its case before the Exchequer court in Ottawa next week if the county decides to make an en- deavor to have the railway commit- tee's finding made a rule of court.

OFFICIAL REPORTING. Stenographer Butcher's Elaborate Staff at the Gamey Trial. Mr. Nelson Dutcher, the official stenographer of the Gamey investi- gation, made elaborate preparations for his task, Mr. Butcher has 16 day's proceedings, in the hands of the court at 10 o'clock of the fol- lowing day. The copies are for the use of the commissioners and the solicitors and principals on 'each side. To reproduce them in the re- quired time Mr. Butcher has a staff of 10 or 12 experts, with other pro | fessional operators in reserve in case of accidents. Even with so large a staff the most laborious and exact ing labor will be required to: carry | out the contract. i Mr, Butcher himsel!l remains in court during the proceedings and takes most of the shorthand report himself, This occupies his time from | 10 o'clock to 4. "To extend his notes 'he uses a Bettini instrument. This is an electrical appliance, which works on something of the same principle as a phonograph. Mr. But- cher reads his notes into the instru- mont, and this operation ' takes about the same time as the pro- ceedings took in court, that is until about 11 o'clock at might. The Bet- tini attachment, while Mr, Butcher is speaking 'into it, is connected to successive rollers, which reproduce his words as by a phonograph to two expert operators on typewriting machines; who made the first copies of the evidence. A few mi af ter these two start working another relay begins making the coples of their sheets, and in this way the 16 copies are complete before midnight. After that there are two or three | hours' work verifying the report. This is done by reading the type- |'| written manuscript back to Mr. Dut. cher, who follows his shorthand notes throughout. The officials thought at one time of attempting to reduce the report to printing each night for the fol- lowing day, but this plan was giv- en up as impracticable owing to the limited time. Printed copies are, however, available on the second day after each day's proceedings. Mr, Butcher has one or two Bet- tini instruments and several type- writing machines in reserve in case of accident, as a breakdown with such a limited time to work in would be disastrous. One of his typewriting machines is run by elec- tricity=--said . to be the only one of its kind in Canada. 'Tt is a ponders ous instrument, but the keys require only the merest touch to depress them and form the letters. Magnet- ism does the rest. The speed of the machine is almost unlimited. aby A Garden for Birds. I.knew a certain garden that was made solely to attract the birds, says a writer in Country Life, and it is in every way an unqualified suc- cess, It is free from murderous cats and small boys, and the birds like it. Thirty-four different species have been counted at a single time, and on one gctaslol 0 different species were "building nests or rearing their young. The ground is deeply carpeted with Bermuda grass, on whose matted tangles birds may scratch and catch bugs from morning until night. Fruits and seeds of many plants that mature at different times of the year are in great abundance, and ff at any time there is not enough the owner of the garden supplies the birds with various tidbits.
