TO SAVE PREMIUMS. By Providing Adequate Fire Pro- tection. At yesterday's session of the water- works committee, Chairman Meek made an important announcement. He informed his eolleagues that the fin ance committee had appointed a sub committee--consisting of Ald. Behan and himself-- to consider the question of readjustment of insurance on city property. He thought a saving micht be effected in regard to the pumping station, on which insurance of £7,000 is Garried. The Luilding ¥s fire proof; and he tholight "the amount of insup- ance carried was not required. To make the plant less liable to destruc tion by fire, he suggested placing sul- ficient hose in the building to reach all parts of it; employees are cen- stant pressure, 'so that danger from fire was reduced to a minimum} As regards the city buildings, the chairman said he had asked Superin- tendent Hewitt for, an estimate as to the cost of laying a four-inch main from Clarence street to the city build ings, and erecting four stand pipes within the buildings, with hose at- tached. for fire protection purposes, The superintendent estimated the cost at $800. The amolnt of insurance car ried on the city buildings is £42,000. which costs $436 a year. if ample fire protection was provided, the insurance might 6n the city buildings be reduc- ed to $320,000. In two or three years the amount saved in premiums by such a change would pay for the en- tire improvements. The same fire pro tectiofis could be provided in the fire stations, resulting in saving premi- ums on the buildings. The different committees ougit to co- operate with the finance committee in this respect, 80 as to effect as great a saving as. possible. Ald. Toye suggestefl that it would not 'be a good policy, to take off all the insurance on pumping plant. He suggested the retention of about ¥2,- 000. Ald. Abbott pointed out that the building was covered by accident in surance, which would avoly in the event of fire breaking out. Superintendent Hewitt said that the only time there had been a fire at the pumping station was when a blaze broke out in the coal shed. In the new shed about to be. built this danger would he overcome, as a concrote floor would be laid. The committee approved plan sketched by the chairman. of the The Smile That Won't Come Off.

QUAKER. * To Syedd $16,000 to to Furtlnr Edu. cational Requirements--Peter Verigen' s Idea--A School in Each Village. Job 8. Gidley of Dartmouth, Mass., has just returned from a trip to Canada, where he visited for two weeks the Doukhohors. Mr. Gidley went to Canada with Willian Evans and Jonathan E. Rhoades of Philadelphia for a cohference with rs Petér Verigih, a Prominent person among the Povkhobo obors; J. Obed Smith, Commissioner of Immigra- tion for the Dominion at Winnipeg, and other officials, ""relative to the best method of expending the sum of $15,000 given under the will of woman Friend of Philadelphia to the Doukhobor committee of the Phila delphia yearly moeting. The money is to be devoted to the education of the Doukhobors. 'Two conferences were held at Win- nipeg," saldMr, Gidley, in speaking of his trip, "The proposition of the | Friends was to 'establish a normal the Doukhobors, then select from the different villages the brightest of their young men and young women and have them attend this school two or thrée years, that they might be qualified to teach their.own peo- ple. The understanding was that all the expenses of this school should be - paid froni the $15,000" legacy. "Peter Verigin" was strongly in fav- or of having a School established in cach village among the-Doukhobors, and thus avoid all 'semblance of fav- oritism. © He desired also to have | such teachers as Friends should sel- ect. When told that to have a school in every village would "prob ably mean in 'e je 'amounting to $20,000 or $30,000 a year, which the Dotikhiobors would' have to meet, he said thet he thought the Doukhobors would be able to pay that amount. It Peter Verigin's'proposition is car- ried out: the $185,000, in all prob- ability, will' bé eXpended in the sup~ *ervision of the schools. His wishes are that these schools for the pro- sent shall be under the supervision of Friends." After thess consultations were held William. Evans apd Jonathan FE. Rhoades left. Winnipeg in order to attend Kansas yearly meeting, and Mr. Gidley took the train for York- ton, a thriving village about 275 niles distant from Winnipeg, in a northwesterly direction, land to Good Spirit Lake, miles, further, in & similar direction, in order to visit the Doukhobor vil- villages, taught by Hannah Bellows and Jessie Wood, 'two young women irom England. "AS 'we came in sight of the .vil- lage where the school is located," said Mr. Gidley, "'we could see tho white tent at the farther end of the village. where the school kept.

Doukhobor children seated up- | on bude benches (if straight. pieces of planks for seats without any backs, and other planks in: front * of the pupils upou el place their books and papers, which were few indeed, may righaly be called bench- es), taking note of how few of the conveniences so necessary to aid the teachers in their work, and remem- bering, too, that they had left hap- py homes and their relatives in a foreign land, knowing that thoy privations which are unavoidable in a new country, sparsely inhabited, to give instruction to these deserving children, I was reminded. of the de- claration, 'Inasmuch as ye Mpre done it unto one af the least of t my brethren, ye have done it unto me.' What a field for consecrated laborers in this part of the land is presented); The Doukhobors are building a log schoolhouse to be used in the place of the tent the coming winter, "After henring a recital in concert by the pupils, asking each of them to send me a lotter time, and giving them a few words of encourmgement, we continued our journey ifn an castorly direction about 85 miles to Atfadnoe Village, the home of Petr Vérigin, passing through two other Doukhohors vile lages on our way. We spent ncarly two days at Atracnoe.' -- Esquimenx Dying Off. Steamboat Inspector Phillips, who just returned from an official tiip to all points on the Mackenzie River and tributaries, where steambon!s are in commission, going as far north as the Peel River, 300 miled within the Arctic circle, states that during the past two ycars the Esquimaux tribes of the Mackenize Bay region have suffered from an epidemic of measles, the deaths from the discasc having decimated some bands to such an extent that there are very few left. At Fort Resolution on the Peel River, where usually 'a large number of Esquimaux meet the Hudson Bay boats, there was not ome this year. The disease was conyracted by these people through a visit to Dawson City, and as they had absolutely no caro the disease spread and they left the dead all along the trail on the way home. Among obe tribe at the north end of Great Slave Lake abott eighty.of these poor people died from this disease. --Winnipeg ¥ree Press, -------------- Why Sir Antoine Declined for Lady Darien The late Sir Antoine Dorion, Chief Justice of Quebec, wis onee invited to some Government House function, as was proper; but Lady Dorion, who was dead, was invited likewise, Sir Antoine accepted for himself, but de- clined for her ladyship, on the ground that she was in the cemetery.
