Shoulder braces, S0c. New York fess Reform, A quiet wedding with no attendants, and with only immediate relati present, was solemmized in St. James' church, an Thursday e when Miss May Black, was fo Captain Edward ©. Dean, by Archdeacon of Ontario. The marriage was to have taken place at a later date, but Captain Dean's appoint- ment to the headyuarters' etali, at Ottawa, which came this week, com- pelled the hastening of the ceremony. Captain Dean, who will be employed in the office of Lieut.-Col. J. Lyons Biggar, A.Q.M.G., administrator of the Canadian AS. é. ., is being heartily congratulated by his friends outside of journalism, and indeed by those within the ranks, The latter, how- ever, regret that the profession is losing one who has been an ornament to it at all times, in his way up from the lower to the higher ranks. The staff of this paper, of which he was some time city editor, especially is feeling 'the. loss," equally keenly with the gratification at the pleasure that one of its members has risen, while vet in his youth, to such an import- ant position in the military affairs of the country, in which his new Ottawa appointment will place him. Captain Dean has made a success of whatever he has undertaken in his military career, being particularly successful in his work with the Army Service Corps, and his training in the pow- ers of observation, learnt in the drill of journalism, «ill be of inestimablo service to him in his new work, There is not much fear. that Captain Dean, will altogether let go of the profes- sion he is leaving, for a newspaper man once is a newspaper man forever, and it is with this thought that the craft gives him up more cheerfully than it otherwise would. Captain Dean will leave, for Ottawa, on Mon day, followed by very good wishes from all Kingston friends. . . * .

AGONY AFTER EATING, Dr, Williams' Pink Pills Cure the Worst Cases of Indigestion. "I suffered so much with indiges- tion that my life had becowo a bur den," says Miss Nellie Archibald, of Sheet Harbor, N.S. "Every time took even the lightest meal it caused me hows of agony. The trouble caused a choking sensation in the re- gion of my heart, which seriously alarmed me. My inability to properly digest my food, left me so weak and run down that 1 could not perform even the lightest housework, and ~ T would tire out going up a few steps slowly. I sought medical aid, ' and tried soveral medicines, but without getting the least benefit, My sister, who lived at a considerable distance, and who had been an invalid, wrote us about this time that she had boen cured: through using Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and this decided mo to give them a fair trial, practically as a last resort. in the course of a few weeks there was a notable change in my condition, and I began to relish my meals. From that on 1 began to gain new streggthi and by the time I had used seven boxes, all signs of the trouble had vanished and I was once more enjoying good health, ana I have not since had any return of the trouble."

Heavy Rain Brings Moisture Up to Above the Average. Toronto Telegram. The month of dry and bright, August was warm, if the heavy rain of the 15th is eliminated from the calculation, otherwise it was wet, warm and bright. The records show the ature to have been 67.6, or 1.2 de grees warmer than the average, and 34 degrees warmer than August last vear. The highest temperature was on the 10th, when the thermometer registered 88.8 and the lowest was 48.9 on the 17th. There were eleven days on which the temperature went above 80, Rain fell on four days to the amount of 422 inches or 1.44 above the averagé for the month. Of this amount 3.68 fell on the 15th and was the heaviest since July 27th, 1897, which only exceeded the fall of the 15th by two-tenths of an inch.

TELEPHONE TO TELEPHONE usERS AND THE TE The net result of five years' effort at municipalizing the ex- change telephone service of Great Britain is that five exchanges are still in operation. The Municipalities have about 20,000 subscribers, or four per cent. of the total exch ubseribers in the Kingdom. 'As about half of these have the National Company's service as well, the two and a g dollars that have been spent on municipal have given telephone service to only 10,000 new an enormous waste of capital in support of a th That there are not more municipal teleph Great Britain is not for lack of agitation, or ac on 'the part of municipal representatives. Forty-one muni- cipalities have considered .the matter, made a f investigation of the questions involved, and have decided that a municipal telephone service was an unwise venture. It must be borne in mind in considering these results that in Great Britain all local telephone exchanges have the same service and facilities over the long distance lines, which are owned and operated by the Government. "This refutes the ¢heory that ownership of the long distance lines by the Govetn- ment would enable successful competition against an ess tablished company. Following the disclosure made in evidence before the Special Committee, of the disastrous results finanially, Government operation of telegraphs, the question arises why the Government should have also taken over the long distance telephone lines. The reason is plain. The long distance telephone lines owned and operated by an agressive company were encroathing on the business of the already unprofitable Government telegraphs. The Govern- ment therefore decided to take control of the telephone °° service to avert competition. Government ownership of long distance lines with the local exchanges in the hands of a company having but aggravated the condition of Government monopoly, the final stép has been decided upon, and the whole exchange business, whether iri the hands of a Company or of the municipalities, will be taken over by the Government within a few years. The opinion of experts is that the last state will be found worse than the first or the second stage, bad as they have been: This is confirmed by the experience of other countries < which have a complete Government control of the telephone service, as we shall be able to demonstrate later from the sworn evidence of those who are familiar with the existing conditions in European countries.
