Have thé County's Affairs Been Gravely, Mismanaged ? 4 Kingston, July 12.--(To the REdit- or) : As. a ratepayer of the county of Frontenac I have been taking con siderable interest'in the action of the county council, and of the varied and curious methods of procedure adopted by it lately. The city of Toronto has investigated its council and in spite of general denial by the gentlemen, composing that body, Judge Winches- ter has found certain matters which hive gravely afidcted the interests of L.that city, and the honor of the mem- bers of that body and some of its offi- cials, in . fact, graft seems to have beta Maifant a" Editdt, "would be well: for the ratepayers of this county' to also ask an investiva- tion into the handling of the affairs of this county, when you consider that" within' the. last couple of years we Bave the extraordinary con- duct of - the members of the county council whet 'in 'session, 'followed by a letter ished by the clerk.

It isi now for the "members of that board (to vindicate their own honor, either "that, or resign. If what the clerk says is true, the sooner the . members of the council are dismissed the better. Would it mot be well to enquire in- to the contracts that have been made in; the past fow vears,. whether the tnoney has 'been rightly spent or not, and whether or not there has been any graft in connection with the vari- ous contracts such as has been proven in Toronto.--H.

Reeve Miller, of Kennebec, testified that in past years the township had maintained the bridge. Since March, the county had taken it over, on con- dition . that the township pay twenty- five per cent. of the repairs.

The order must be registered and on and after the date of registration the bridge would become a ¢ounty huidge, not before. Mcintyre held that no contract with the county had been made out, and, therefore, the motion, must be dismissed, with this his honor agreed. Mr. McIntyre asked that it be dis: missed with costs, He held that it was a very impro act for the county clerk to be relator in this case. His position was that of a confidential of-/ ficer of the county. In a similar, case, where" a county clerk had succeeded, he was not allowed costs. The judge said that no contract had heen. proven © between Councillor Pringle and the county. When, in a case where a clerk had been successful, a county clerk had been refused costs, he could not do otherwise than fol- low suit in this case. He would dis- miss the motion, with costs, fixing $20 as the counsel fee, but not allow- ing witness fees. Dr. Edwards decided to drop his motion against Councillor Black. In remarking upon the Pringle case, the judge said there were many ir- regularities done by council members. He knew of enough, illegal acts to un- seat the whole county council, County Clerk Edwards said he was well aware before hand of the risk he ran in regard to costs, should he either succeed or fail. He didn't get a voter in division 6 to take the pro- ceedings, because of the personal mat- fers involved. Judge Price stated that ine view of the present situation of county coun- foil affairs he would like to have dis- missed the motion without costs, but had to folow a recognized precedent in cases of the kind where a county clerk took the proceedings. i, STOPPED AT BREWERY. The Horse Made a Rapid Run to It. This hot weather may give to many men the desire for a cool, refreshing drink, other than * water, and many might long to be near the brewery. But who ever heard of a horse, that animal supposedly endowed with only brute sense, breaking from custody and dashing towards the place where the amber beverage with the deep froth is manufactured wholesale. Of such a master mind is a horse owned by the Dominion Express company, however, and he seized the first op- portunity that 'occurred, yesterday af- ternoon, to follow the road to the thirst factory. While delivering some parcels just above the Windsor hotel, on Princess street, the express driver left. his horse beside the curb without tying it, A passing auto frightened the animal and it started down street Fon the tear. When close to the corner of Wellington street, a temporary halt was called. An old gentleman from the country saw the approaching run- away and drew up alongside the walk and then jumped out of his rig. What ke should have done was to cross the street, for he had plenty of time. In the collision the farmer's rig was de- molished and the shafts of the express waggon broken. The horse then turn- ed down Wellington street and con- tinued in its wild carcer until it caught sight of the brewery; then it stopped. Yet people will wonder why? How To Be Popular. If you are a woman, and wish to be popular with women, never tell them the truth. Tell them something pleas- ant. They will think you are charm- ing, and will desire to meet you again. The woman who hides her intelli- gence under guileless questions will find herself admired and sought by men, but despised and avoided by wo- men A woman who is popular with mén is rarely liked by women. She is gen- erally a clever actress, and her sister women see through her. When a woman finds all else fails in her efforts to attract and hold a man, she appeals to his strength. Unless he is strong, that generally fetches him. Ag long as men have faults women will condone them; and as lone as wo- men condone them, men will have faults--and longer. A man does not admire a brilliant and witty woman unless he is more brilliant and can match her wit and go her one better. If she is brilliant and witty and beautiful, more men will admire her if she hides her tal- ents behind her beauty. 1f she is mere- ly beautiful, all men will admire her. Why Be Hot ?

Cleveland Le it red," "puint the town red" or simp- ly to "paint the town," there is a popular saying, common also in hooks nificance for the average reader or hearer. In the first use of this expres- sive metaphor there was no suggestion of carousing or lawless and devil deeds. It came into use from the immemorial habit of celebrating popular festivals or holidays by lighting bonfires, The fires painted the night sky and the scenery red, and hence the color be- came significant of jubiliation and merrymaking. From that meaning it was a short road to carousals and reckless pursuit of pleasure in a loud and conspicuous way, But it is believed by some authori- ties that the current phrase owes its immediate vogue in part to the habit of Mississippi river steamboat captains of telling their men to "paint her red" when they were urging them to heap more inflammable fuel on the roarin fires under the boilers. That wild, racing spirit 'was close enough to other outbreaks of hot blood recklessness to make the easy and short, Again, it is possible to get close to , the current meaning of 'painting it red" in old allusions to the color of the noses of hard. drinkers. It used to be not uncommon in England to use the expression "paint" as equivalent to drink, 9 transition Newspapers As Executioners, Rollo Ogden "Atlantic Monthly, : hen you have some powerful rob- bers to invoke the popular verdict on, there is nothing like modern journal- ism for doing the job thoroughly.
