It is never in a hurry to attend to matter of urgency." Some of the old material Fi =£5 i Experts point out various defects in the construction of the new R.C.H.A. stables on Ordnance street. In the first the stables are too narrow for i military purposes. The handling of frisky oh Ln horses is not like after farm horses. To prevent the liability of horses kicking from the stalls while other animals are be- ing led out, the stables should have wider. Some animals may get their legs broken as a result and bat- terymen their heads cracked, if great Then the win- dows of the stables are too low. stables windows should always built higher than a horse's that the animal cannot look out and be disturbed at night by the electric light. Before the stables were con- structed, proper authorities should have been consulted. ig In be 0 'head dress; is, indeed, a "fool" head dress. In summer jt is killing to a man who has always worn « soft hat; in winter it is useless. Un- less properly pipe-clayed, it gives a soldier a disreputal appearance, What militiaman has time to be con- stantly pipe-claying his helmet ? Let be kept out of the camp and relegated to the company or regi- mental headquarters to be worn only on state occasions. It occupies as much space in a tent, as a babv in a train, and is, in. fact, one of the best instances of English conservatism and our servile imitation of everything im- perial. Nobody but a German or an Englishman wears the awkward thing. In all other countries a sensible head dress is worn, J Should Lieut.-Col, English come from Esquimault to Kingston, it will likely be as commander of the R.C. H.A. and as head of the school of gunnery. As senior artillery officer since the departure of Col. Drury, Lieut.-Col. Fages," who is in com- mand of "A" battery, has filled those positions. Kingston was also a fort- tress command, but this year, the old Limestone military town seems to have lost that designation. It is to be hoped that the standing of being a fortress command will be returned 10 it, for Kingston is just as important in military history as Halifax or Que- bec. The Frontenac Historical Society might interest itself in this matter, oS Kingston should see to it that the headquarters of the 5th Kingston Field battery are not moved to Deser- onto, If is well to point out in time that vors = are being made to have the headquarters changed. The lose would mean more to Kingston than some people imagine. The bat- tery's headquarters are at the arm- ouries, which was constructed for it, as well as the 14th Rogiment and vari- ous other smaller corps. There is no " ..

Will some one stand up and tell the public what has become of the King- ston bramch of the Army and Nayy Association, which was established here some years aco. The last meet ing was held in 1908, in the city cojn- cil chamber, and it was resolved to press for the establishment at King ston of one of the navy training ships. The branch should shake itself and get revived. The ground in front of the armour- ies could be greatly improved by mak- ing it into well-kept grass plots. Its present condition is not creditable to such a fine stone structure. The Civic Improvement Society ladies night wait upon Col. Gordon and ask that a few more blades of grass be grown on the bare spots, and that the stray rocks be tossed aside. The introduction of the "flying sen- try" at the barracks, has been receiv ed with favor by the artillery, though the old sentry form of duty, where a soldier marched ito and from the gate with a rifle over his shoulder was most. impressive and historie. The new forni is a kind of police duty, the sen- try moving about in all directions. The new pay list is causing consid- erable discussion. Artillery officers benefit most largely, particularly those who are qualified both in field and garrison work. Lieut.-Col. Fages is one of the very few officers. who are of holding the highest posi- tions in field and garrison artillery. Aoording to a Cobourg paper, the extent 'of the ground for manoeuvres at the Cobourg camp is forty acres. At Barricfield there are 500 acres for this purpose. Cobourg or anv other place in Eastern Outario cannot com- pave with the site at Kingsten for a military camp. A monthly magazine on signalli is to, be published here by Dr. 5G Evans.

Charles | MANY YEARS - AGO SWINDLING IN THE KINGSTON | PRISON. Ottawa Free Press Recalls An Episode of Thirty-Five Years Ago--Forging Letters. Ottawa Free Press. An interesting little piece of swind- ling has just come to light which is rather original in its conception and bold in its execution, considering that the parties concerned were convicts in the Kingston' penitentiary. The par- ticulars as far as our reporter could ascertain are as follows: A 'may The {| named Irvine, a resident of Otiawa, was sentenced to three years' impris onment for stealing during a drunken spree a bar of iron with which to pur- chase liquor. His conduct while i prison. was so good 'that months were knocked off his sentence and he wag released. When he arrived at his home in Ottawa, a few days ago, he was quite 'astonished to hear ms wife question him concerning a pumber of letters which she aeensed him of writing to her for money. He denied that he had written to her for money at any time while in the peni tentiary. She then produced as proof a number of letters with his signature asking for money to be sent to him through a man named Curtis, in Kingston. Irfine was rather aston- ished as he had never heard of such an individual nor had he ever authorized any one to write" such letters for him, The affair was a mystery to him, but be 1:t it pass till the next day, when another letter arrived in the Ottawa post office for his wife, signed with hi# name and demanding more money This roused Irvine's indignation and he at once held a consultatibn with the authorities on the subjects He suspects that the person who has heen writing the letters is a conviet named Chisholm, who occupied a cell close to his, and _om one occasion wrote a let ter to Irvine's wife for him, saying that he would write it faster. In the letter Irvine had stated that he getting along well, and did not | want for anything. After that time Irvine's wife received three letters for money, and she sent $15 in registered letters, addressed to Curtis, Kingston. These letters were drawn hy Curtis, and the difficulty is to find out who he i= H Chisholm is the man who forged the letters he must have had communica- tion with Curtis, outside the walls, who drew the registered letters and signed the receipt. It was noticed by Irvine, when in prison, that Chisholm had suddenly received money, but how or where he could not find out. . The affair, it is expected, will be investi gated and may bring some other transactions of the same description to light. INCIDENTS OF THE DAY, Newsy Paragraphs Picked Up.
