Its action towards the street railvav was not one of opposition. but of conciliation. What was desired was to have the arreement fair to both sides. Tf the comp;ny had the right to punish the citizens, then the latter should also have. the right to do the same to the ny. 3 In seconding the resolution, Mr. Pol- son pointed out that the "infliction" should not be altogether on ome side, The worm will turn at last, said the " rn. For twenty years a small coterie of men have been dominating the dity, and getting anvihine thoy asked for. He thought all honor should be paid to those of the ejty council of 1883 who onvosed the ae roetiont made with the company, Tt was monstrous to think that a body of intelligent citizens should have made, years ago, such an agreement as wos made with the old horse car company, Mr. Polson reviewed the circumstances surroundine the making agreement of 1503, which has already been so thoronehlv discussed in the press. He thought the citizens shod demand and take all steps pos- sible to secure the insertion of a pen- alty olanse and thus get their rights, He was not antaconistic to the street railway company. ~He wanted it to smoer, but not at the exnense and oppression of the people. The comn- mittee poing to Toronto to arnear before the private bills committes of tho levislatire should be fortified and hence the obioct of the resolution, Mavor Bell put the resplution and it was cérried unanimously by a standing vote and d avolause. 'That practically ended the street rail wav matter, though later in the night it received a fow more touches, The Lighting Question. The lighting question was then tak- en up, Capt. Gaskin moving this re solution : "That this meeting of the ratepayers of the city of Kingston heartily approves the action of the council in contracting to purchase and acquire the works and property of the Kingston, Light, Heat & Pow: Vy er fiupany, and to operate the same a8" municipal enterprise, believing that such a communication will be in the' highest degree advantageous to this corporation and to every user of light and power in the citv." Capt. Gaskin pave a briel history of the arbiteation proceedings and the company's appeals to the courts, He mad the following statement prepar- ed by the city treasurer regarding the | | profits of the Light, Heat & Power company in the year 1900: H] Gas revenue, .. . ow $26. 483.44 Electric Revenue, .. uw « .. « 31,886.00 Total Bross, .. .. ww « wo . + $58,070.00 Working expenses Gas departinent, .. $11.6814.29 Electric "on 2,047.18 "w wow 28401.42 yw 12,840.60 w---- $58,811.11 $19,258 95 Total, Business ch Total net revenue, The annual amount requ to pay 153.000, with ine re, terest In yea is .. $10.520.00 Taking the above figures as a bas: is, the balance after pavine all charves is $8,798.05, This amount would be available to be annlied to- wards depreciation of plant, or re duction of rate. : Capt. Gaskin then pave a few min: 'utes' attention to the city member in the legislature, Mr. Pense, who, he declared, would stand two feet hicher if he pave attention to the city's re aliekt regadding the penaltv clause ad- dition to the street railwav acree ment.

S----------" ty Comets elon gut the! copied from Mr. Cross' report, and therefore could hardly be challenged. Relerring to the waterworks depart ment, Capt. Gaskin declared that it was a proof of rood manarement that while the consumers ~ had increased fourfold, the expenses had only in creased bv $3,000, Since the Kingston water works had, been so successful | under ¥ municipal management, there was no reason on earth why the light | plants should not be run as 'profit- ably. He saw no reason whv gas should not be supplied to the citizens 'at fifty or sixty cents a thousand. | Then the people could use ~as in their stoves when the coal dealers put up abv more jobs on them. There was no reason, said tho captain, why the nre- sent expensed of the company should not be reduced one-half. He asked the citizens to turn out and work for the passing of the bv-law. and con- cluded hy tnving tribute to the city solicitor for the manner in which he had handled the case. J. D. Thompson's Remarks. J.-D. Thompson seconded the reso- lution. He stated that those who had watched the working of the water- worka should have no hesitation in + proving of the purchase of the lioht- plants. City Solicitor McIntyre find fourht a rood fight for the peo- ole, an up-hill fight, but had come out successfully, and all that now re mained was to pass the by-law he had deafted. Mr. Thompson refeyred to the wanagement of the Lich Heat & Power compan®--it cost twenty cent. or one-fifth of the receipts for the management. D¢ municipal con trol, there would be a ereat reduction in this repard. In 1887, the people, in luding those of the outlying wards, who were ask od to vote for a by-law for the ex penditure bf $140,000. They responded in favor of the by-law. Now, the peo ple are asked to vote for a bylaw ex pending £182,000. The lear was ex- pressed that the taxes would be rais ed by the taking over 'of the lighiiag plants. But there was no foundation for this. Tha plant can take care .of itsell. In 1887, a resolution was pass ed by 'the council stating that the taxes would not be raised - when the water works were taken over, A simi: lar resolution should be passed by the present council. The speaker was quite sanguine that the lighting plants could be run by the city as well as has been the water works. The water rates had been steadily reduced since 1887 until con sumers were now paying just one-third of what they paid then. In 1857, Mr. Thompson said he recommended to the council the taking over of the light plant. For the lighting of the sity buildings, fire stations, etc., $9, , was being paid. This would near ly take care of the interest and a por- tion of the debentures if the plant. is taken over. The council of 1887 was- right in taking over the water works, nd he declared. that the council of 904 was right in its action in Sub- mitting a by-law for the purchase of the lighting plants. The first step in Kingsten's progress was in getting per COFFEE HIT HER. Left It Off By Doctor's Advice and Gained Health Quickly. A well-known physician, of Memphis, Tenn., reported 5 case of coffee disease as follows : "Iasant to tell you of a case that interested me very much and to you belongs the credit of the cure. A lady of about 'thirty-five years, pale, ema- ciated, extremely nervous and -irrit. able sent for me to call and -make a prescription for several "supposed ma adios ; viz., heart disease, cancer of the stomach, female diseases with gome accompanying complaints. "After 5 thorough physical examin ation 1 found what is how appropri- ately called 'coffee heart'; flabby, in active stomach with torpid bowels The patient was the victim of extreme nervousness and about an hour after moals had most distressing smother ing spells with irregular and sluggish circulation. Any unusual effort would and gbout the passing of said b) uty. The resolution was then put, and it too received, a unanimous Vote. To Carry The By-Law. This resolution was moved by Ald. Tove and seconded by Ald. McLeod : That a general committer and ward committees be appointed; to organize end prosecute an active campaign throughout the city to secure the pass- ing of the debenture by-law, and that ll ratepayers favorable to the same he invited to co-operate, such general committee to consist bf the following: The mayor (wha will be chairman) ond the aldermen, with the following citizens : C.

McLeod's Contention. Ald. McLeod claimed that the street railway company might have been met by the city council in a fairer spiiit. The company's request for ga conference to re-open the matter had never yet been answered. Fair treat ment he declared had not been accord ed this enterprising company. He con tended that from the start it would have been a benefit if the switch extension had been made on Princess street. (Cries of Yes! Yes ! drowned by No !'" No! Question ! Question !) Continuing, Ald. McLeod said that » good ear service would not be had till there was a double track, He criticized the giving of power to a citv engineer cause the pulse to flutter at a rapid rate and a Llind dizziness would al most compel the patient to fall. "Realizing the effect coffee has upon the heart and circulation 1 knew at once "the cause of the trouble so 1 instructed her to quit coffee at once and prescribed Postum Food Coffee to be used regularly in its place, and the result was even a surprise to me. "The patient in ton days' time had to allow the company to put 'in switthes "at any distance he might think fit. That was all right as far as the present city engineer was con cerned.but the time might come when { enother city engineer would play right into the hands of the company. Ex alderman Ellistt asked Ald. Me Leod why the switch question was not settled by the council of 1903. Ald. MeLeod, in reply, said that the matter took up so much time that it gained eight pounds and was abso lutely free from the depressing heart spells, the stomach acted properly to- gether with all the other bodily func- tions. The result was perfect. 1 made a staunch friend of the lady but feel that in reality the credit belongs Postum Coffe for without Postum to _shift to nothing would ever have per suaded her to give up the deadly drink cofice. With Postum to take its place there was no trouble to give up the old colice. "It is a part of my practice now to forkid the use of coffee in all chronic cases and prgpeiibe Postum, which i know to be a most nutritious food in liquid form." Name gi Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

(Laughter and jeers). The speaker said that the aldermen would work hard for the carrying of the light by-law, and he hoped for the assistance of the citizens in gene ral. There would be no regrets at talisg over the plant. As to the by- law being carried, he had not the slightest 'doubt. Ongasézation for the eons). | campoign would be at once. H. W. Richardson said it would be {well to first find out the feeling 'of i those put on the committee before | they were counted upon to act, The | the corporation of Kingston." t question should 'be looked = at hight every side. The water works was simply a watter cof pumping water. But making gas' end electri: city was a different matter. It would not be so easy fo run a gos plant as a water works, His vote would ne doubt be cast in favor cf the by-law, as so bis brother's, but he asked that their names be taken .off the committee. The question he thought had heen looked at from only one side, and not ciseussed from the point of view of more vital issues. Mayor Bell-<+'If the plant is such a paying concern to a company woich had clad cto the highest court in the realin, why should it mot be to (Ap plause). The motion was put and carried. A Crack At Ald. McLeod. Mr. Polson moved,/seconded by Ald. McLeod that the meeting pledge itself to work for the by-law. This was elso carried unanimously. Mr. Polson garding feic play to the street rail way company. He asked Ald. McLeod this pointed question--Why did he as chairman of the hoard of works in 1903 recommend no action to the street reilway company's request for doul ls-trackiag on Priacess strect ? TLis the Cataraqui ward representa- tive eould not ence had a Ha! Ha! at his expense. peopl: cotll assume the lity of taking over the lighting plants with confidence. He assured * them that the rates would be equitably ap- plisd under the new management. Pro- cedure would be slow, for the thing would not' be to reduce the rates, but to make the plant efficient. I the cleetrie light plant could be made first-class, he was convinced that smell manufacturing concerns could be induced to the city. . R. J. Carson's Views. R. J. Carson considered that, as a business proposition the city could well afford to take over the lighting plants. He gave erecit to City Soli- citor Melntyre for the splendid way in which he had represented the city's in- terests. Mr. Carson pointed out that stockholders. Why then not the city? It would be equally as good as the water works. The revenue would more than take care -of the interest and debentures. Gas, he thought, corll be made with a profit at one dollar a thousand. Those peopl: who do not take gas or electric light will not be celled upon to pay one cent, for the revenue would take care of all expenses. He urged the property own ers to carry-the by-law. In concluding, Mr. Carson refsrred to the street railway company, and laughingly said it looked as though Ald. Mcleod was in the pay of Mr. Folger. . Ald. MelLeod--"Iid youn offer io buy the street reilway or did you make an offer ? Mr. Carson--*I cid. I asked the street reilway company if it would gell out. I'll tell you more, too. Mr. Breck was kind enough to say that they would consider an offer of $270, 000. (Laughter). Just think of it- ),000 for seven miles of road. The city engineer says it's worth less than $100,000. The position, of the ecom- pany as sworn to before parliament, is this: Paid up stock, $200,000; bonded debt, $200,000: floating linki lities, 852,000; total, $152,000 for seven miles of road, or at the rate of 860,000 a mile. What do you think of that ? Did you ever hear the like of it before ?" In conclusion, Mr. Carson said that the water works and lighting plants could be amelgamated. Then the_city wourll have a cheap concern. A motion, moved by Alds. Sands and Meck, regarding the offer of vehi cles for the day of the bylaw was passed. The City Solicitor Sperks. City Solicitor Mcintyre was received with applause when he was called up- on to speak. In a half hour's address he gave a most comprehensive state ment of the whole lighting case and showed clearly thatthe city's best in terests would be served by the pur chase of the plants. He stated first that the meeting of citizens was an evidence of the evolution of seli-gov ernment of corporations, He to Mr. to bring into ¥Mhe present greater vigilance and alertness of ad ministration than ever beforé. If this is not dome, then the lighting plant, if purchased, would share the fate of many private concerns, It must be conducted with prudence and sagacity Mr. McIntyre then put two questions SEVEN FROM ONE. It has been shown that one bottle of Scott's Emulsien 'is capable of - building seven times its weight of solid, healthy flesh. How is this possible? Because Scott's Emulsion is one of .the richest and most digestible of foods. Because Scott's Emulsion makes all good food do good. Nothing of value to thé body is allowed to go to waste. Because Scott's Emulsion makes the stomach strong, the appetite keen and the digestion perfect. Because Scott's Emulsion adds new flesh to the body, puts new blood in the veins and feeds the fires of life called vitality. We'll send youn free upon request, ie Ontaria, - sample SCOTT & BOWNE, Toronto, took occasion to give Ald. McLeod a | rap over the latter's declaration re- | answer, and the audi: | Mr. Polion said he believed that the | responsili- first | the plant was a profitable one to the | referred | Richardsen's word of eaution, | and stated that it was very necessary | matter | which it was necessary for every pro- | perty owner to ask himself before vot- ng the by-law : (1) Is the y worth the price ? and (2) will it y the city to operate it? The or pointed out how three artitrators had agreed on the price of $170,373. Then the amount of money put into the concern by the company was $170,000, almost as much as the arbitration price. A man who knew values well had told him before the arbitration that if cthe "cify got the plant at $225,000 it would pay to take it. Up- oui these facts he thought the people would be justified in voting in favor of the purchase of the plant. | Then as to the question if it would i pay. From January lst, 1897, it had | paid well. The profit in the first vear | was $3,000 and in the fourth $7,707. 'The city has to pay only $10,525 each vear for thirty years, and this amount would be more than covered by the { revenue, The city can borrow cheaper { than the company, and besides has | nothing to pay on water. The city would be able with a less sum to pay for the plant and the interest, whereas the company were unable to lay by any fund for repairs. : For the years 1901, 1902 and 1903, nothing was known as to the profits, the company refusing to give any in-' formation. Mr. McIntyre said that the city all along had to deal with the company at the peint of the bayonet. Ii the people stood by the council, they might rest assured that their re- | presentatives would drive the bayonet home. (Applause). 4 r. Mcintyre said that the com- pany's solicitor, in a letter, had stat- ed that the plant was leased to the street railway company at an increas- «d rental. At the arbitration, under examination, Mr. Folger stated that the street railway company could afford to pay an increased rental, from 812,252 to $23,500 and make a profit. That statement could be taken for what it was worth, but Mr. McIntyre concluded that it was beyond all ques- tion that the city could easily make the plant pay. > | As to costs, Mr. McIntyre pointed {out that the city"s own costs of the | arbitration amounted to $12,000. If the by-law, did not pass, the city would have do pay the company's costs of $15,000, making a total of $27,000, so that it was far better to take over the plant. M. S. Burnette Arises. | Just as Mr. McIntyre sat down, the | form of M. S. Burnette appeared in J the rear of the hall, and his powerful voice spread over the place. He said : "That's. the greatest piace of nen- sense that ever was talked "referring { to Mr. McIntyre's statement as to the | payment of coats. The crowd shouted to Mr. Burnette | to go to the platform, and he acceded to their request. However, when he reached the hustings, the audience be- gan to pour out of the hall and some one started to sing "God Save The King." 7 "I didn't intend to speak," Mr. Bur- nette said, "hut T must correct that | statement of Mr. McIntyre's which is { the most preposterous, nonsensical { and illegal that has ever been talked { since time began. Read the clause vourselves, and you den't have to be lawyers to see what it means." Mr, Burnette read the clause, and claimed the city. was not liable for the com- pany's costs. All they had to pay was "the costs of arbitration." y To J. D. Thompson was given the privilege of dealing with Mr. Bur- nette's statement, and he did so in a very "few words, pointing out that both the company's solicitor and the city's solicitor were agreed on the in- terpretation - of the costs' clause. The company's solicitor savs 80," said Mr. Thompson, "and -that is pretty good authority. Then our own solicitor says so, and he has not been very far wrong throughout this case, (Applause). Would you 'place the view | of Mr, Burnette against that of Mr. 1 McIntyre over there ? (Cries of No! INo!) : Then the meeting adjourned, the hour being close to eleven.

He savs: T counted twenty-three meq at the tables and in the hotel office | took the trouble to interview then and was surprised to learn that ning of the twenty-three made a Practice of taking one or two of Stuart's Dys. pevsia Tablets after each meal, One of them told me he had suffer ed so much from stomath trouble thay at one time he had been obliged t, quit. the road, but since using Sty, art's Dyspepsia Tablets had been en. tirely free from indigestion, but he continued their use, especially while travelling, on account of irregularity in meals and because like all travel ling men he was often obliged to ey what he could get and not always what he wanted. J Another, who looked the picture of health, said he never ate a meal with out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward because he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased without fear of a sleepless night or dny other trouble. Still another used them, because he was stbject to ras on stomach, caus ing pressure on heart and lungs, short- ness of breath and distress in chest which he' no longer experienced since using the tablets regularly. Another claimed that Stuart's Dys. pepsia Tablets was the only safe re medy he had ever found for sour sto- mach "and aciditv. He had formerly used common soda to relieve the trou. ble, but the tablets were much better and safer to use. After 'smoking, drinking or other ex- cesses which weaken the digestive or ~ans, nothing restores the stomach to a healthy wholesome condition so of- fectually as Stuart's Tablets. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives, pepsin, dias tase, which every weak stomach lacks, as well as nux, hydrastin and vellow varilla, and can be safelv relied on as a radical cure for everv form of noor digestion.
