Much Energy Used Up In Plough- ing Through Snowbanks -- Wealthy Residents Worst Of- fenders -- Kingston Should Enforce Laws. Kingston, Jan. 30.--(To the Editor): Before the town clock has finished striking seven these . dark mornings, about two thousand of our citizens, men and women, boys and girls, are at their various places in factory, mill or works, ready for the day's duties, By cight o'clock another thousand merchants and clerks, students for early classes, and ~their instructors and others, begin their day's work, and by nine o'clock, thousands more { children and their teachers, have left ! their homes, and are at their posts readly for the tasks cof the day. All along with those who have early shopp ng to do, make up a number Toh equal to onv-half the city's population, and if there has been a fall of snow the previous dav. or dur- ing the night, all have had to trudge through it for greater or less dis: tances, Some few of our citizens, a small, conscientious minority, have their walks cleaned early in the worning, but many leave it till nine or after, before Dwginning that civic duty, and many others, and particularly some among our wealthy citizms, who own properties with extensive frontage. vacant land or otherwise, brazenly ne- glect their legal obligations in this re gad. A young lady, a teacher, tells of having bad to wade through deep snow four times daily for about a hundred yards, past the premises of a certain wealthy man, for a whole week after a recent heavy snow storm be- fore he saw fit to have the walk cleaned, and of having the discomfort and menace to health, of sitting in damp skirts and footwear for hours while teaching. This ipstance, multiplied by hind reds in the case of other teachers, clerks in shops and girls and women working in factories, calls for an im- mediate remedy. If we have laws they should be enforced, regardless of wealth 'or any other consideration. If our present laws are not sufficient, they should be amended. The prevalent practice is outrageous and wasteful. No workman who labors through a mile of heavy snow to and from his business, can. do as food a day's work, either for himself or for an employer .as he otherwise could. Nor cat a teacher teach, or pupil learn as well, The extra wear and tear on boots and clothing alone wenkl more than pay for some officient system' of clearing off the city's walks. In other cities this economic fact is recognized, and up-to-date methods are adopted. At Peterboro, for instance, the city is divided into ten districts, two in each ward, and one man in cach district contracts to clear the walk. He uses a simple plough made of a plank triangle on edge, that clears off a path four feet' wide. This plow ix drawn bv a horse, and certain princi pal streets, chiefly those legding from tho outskirts to the factories and foundries must be cleaned by half past six in the morning if a snowstorm has occurred in the night. All other streets included in the contract are to be cleaned by half-past eight, in time fo children going to school. Where this service is performed regulaily after vach snowstorm it is easily done, and the cost is nothing compared with the resultant saving and convenience. The service in Peterboro extends to nearly all streets. It is not supposed to fully clear the walks, but makes it possible for foot passengers to get about the city with comfort. This method is the rile in many Ontario towns. If the average distance from the worker's home to his or her place of work, or to: the children's school be estimated, it will be found to ap proximate nearly a mile, and this has to he traversed two or- four times dailv. Probably thirty or forty thou sand miles would be an average estimate of the total daily use of the city walks. We go to great expense to provide the finest pavements for use in fine weather, and in winter time leave many of them as uncared for as the open fields. Our merchants . on Princess street will do well to consider the effect of bad 'walking on their daily sales. The condition of the walks alone often deters customers from vis iting their shops. From every consid eration whether of health or economy, fair play or good citizenship, the pres- ent conditions should be amended. All would benefit, the merchant and manu- facturer most of all, and no one would be harmed. Cannot our «civic authori ties give us an improved administra tion in regwtd to walks *-- JOHN F.

WRIGHT Washington, Jan. 30.--The report of Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, on the Colorado suike tron- bles, yesterday, was sent to the sen ate by President Rousevelt, Commissioner Wright says there can be nu doubt that ' Jucpose of the strike was to cstablish the Western Federation of Minérs, in the smelters, including reduction and refining wills, as it altdady had been established in the wines. In gumaming up the situa tion, the commissioner says : "Lawlesgness has accompanied the strike as a labor weapon, aml it has accompanied the actions of the alleged law and order plement as oa weapon against the strikers, "The faults in the organization of the unions: by allowing strikes to Le determined by a committee instead of a referendum, and the faults in the organization of the Citizens' Alliance, by allowing ireesponsible mobi to xepresont it, disturbed the peace to such an extent that persons outside of Colorado wonder if there is any law or any, law-abiding citizens in that state. "However, order 'is being restored, for there is a third party now inter ested which is insisting that deporta- tions shall cease." A MODERN SAMPSON. Montreal Boy Is Marvel Ot Str th. Montreal, Jan. 30.~Arthur Bourret, a veritable marvel of physical strength who has recently given a few private exhibitions of his great power gs a strong boy, 'is already 'attracting at tention from - medical' and sc ientific men, who have been sarprisal" at his devel pment. Bourret is cighteen years of age snd weighs 'only Mad pountls, and yet his feats with the weights and dumbbells are almost % a par with those of Sandow, Cyr and other noted perfor: mers many years his senior and also pounds heavier in weight. Among Bouorret's feats of stre with are the following : Putting up with one hand at arm's length, above head, 2164 pounds; the record is 273} pounds, and is held by Louis Cyr. Back lift, with platform, allowing 10 men to stand on same, making a total of 2,400 pounds. Lifting with hoth hands above head at same time, left hand 78 pounds; right hand, 105 poumls. Putting up barbell, both hands above head, 217 pounds. Holding out at right angles from body at the same time, left hand 63 pounds; right hand, (7 pounds, Lifting two men in human dumbbell style above head 'average 235 pounds. Allowing two acrobats to perform on human trapeze, one on each end of same, while he holds them in the cen tre of the human trapeze, Allowing six or cight men to stand on platform placed on his chest while he is on "all fours," average 600 to S00 pounds. Placing himself on chevated pedestal, he lifts any ordinary horse weighing about 1,000 or_1.200 pounds, Another Successiul Year. At the reeont annual general meeting the directors of the North American Life Assurgace company presented the statement of the company's operations for the year just closed, The policies issued amounted to 88, 530,825, an increase of $045,935 over the preceding year, while the as surances in force now amount to 835, 630,188, which shows an increase for the year of over £3.000,000. The assets of the company, which are all of the highest class, also w crease, being at the « a good in- se of the year 26,231,000.06. A noteworthy feature in this connection is that the company has followed its usual practice of keep- ing its bonds, debentures, ete, in the balance sheet at their book value, not- withstanding the fact that the market value considerably cworcds the amount in_ account ; During the year, the company pei to its policyholder we large sum of ¢ the real fune- tion for which a life insurance com pany exists, Of this amount S30%,. 63.16 went to living policyholders for dividends, matured ondowments, an nuity paymentd cle.

Toronto Telegram. By its work last Monday night, both inside and outside the rink. Brockville = easily carried off the palm as being the roughest town in the dowsinion. "Brockville out-did itself for dirty work, and those who saw Hh whatch between Ottawa and the loca! hired men, that is, those who had any regard for fair play and de- ceney, are of one opinion, namely, that Brockville should be ruled out oi the Federal League, and every other saw last Monday's match are of but one mind--that the wanner in' which the Ottawas were treated was simply brutal, work that one might oxpeet to see in un abattir on a very busy day. When the Brockville tenn wasn't tripping, the crowd at the rink side was busy clubbing the Ottawas off their feet. The blow of the final act of the drama was when one of = the team, objecting to a decivion, de liberntely skated up to the referee, Ernie Butterworth, and handed him on friendly swat. It was a cowardly piece of work, but the crowd, keyed up to the concert pitch, shouted it self hoarse. At half time when the teams were going to their dressing rooms, Mr. Butterworth was again assaulted and kicked, as he struggled to free himsclf. The executive of the Brockville Club made no effort what ever to check this sort of work, and evidently took it simply as a matter of course And this 45 Brockville, the origingl "cold fect" town, the town that de- faulted and funked like an aggroga tion of prize quitters, that fears to play in Kingston because Brockville was afraid the penitentiary town would be "too rough." "Well, lund sakes alive," as Mr. Wigps was some times wont to remark, "wouldn't that knock you a twister." "Too rough," why Kingston in its palmiest period, in the days of its great athletic triumphs, was never treys on top of deuces with the pink pill town when it came to mixing things up and mak- ing it gencrally uncomfortable for the visiting players. One really had to be there last Monday night to appreciate the rough-house work of the Irock ville spectators, In the meantime, it is up to the president of the league to see that teswmw playing in Brock. ville get proper protection.
