The council should look at the matter in a more liberal spirit. Ald. Angrove said he was in favor of the grant. It was better to make it now, so that the association could get to work at once, Ald. Carson favored referring the matter to the fimance committee. There were two schemes before the oo iven to duly consider them, FAN. Gaskin repeated that he was opposed to any grant.

Elliott held that this by-law could not be considéred just now, as the board of works had the matter be. Hore it, and had not reportid. The mayor said that the by-law was quite in order for a hearing, if Al Nickle wished to press it. The latter said he did want the by-law dealt with. He had been -asked by several doctors not to allow .the matt to stand any longer, Ald. Carson said that the board of works would have a report upon the 'appointment of 'a sanitary inspector for the council's next meeting, He had in view the appointment of Super- intendent Hewitt, of the water works, to perform the duties in. conjunction with his present duties.

THE GRAND, rLast Night Saw a Blues Dispell- ing Farce. Charles E. Grapewin, the mention of whose very name prompts a smile to the face, made his second bow to Kingstonians in the Grand Opera House, Monday evening, with "It's Up To You, John Henry." The audi- ence was as large as ever "bunched" together, in the city. From the time ting Hotel Manhattan, when John preseats Clara J., with a country home--that doesn't belong to him, through the burglary scene, "back to the woods," and in the final at get off 'umetion on the P. R. R., where John buys a tie- ket for Confusionville and ends in the town of Easy Go, it is one screaming laugh. To see John prevent Alice's trip to. Egypt is worth the price of an orchestra chair and 'a box of fudge, Charles Grapewin wae surely "Ft™ ac Jobn Henry, and with this vehicle has placed himself as a foremost comedian on the American stage to day.
