He said he would see that what thad occurred in the past would not bé repeated in the future. Liberals, hercafter, would get fair play from the militia depart- ment. It was shown that Hon, Mr. Harty, with all the influence he possesses at Ottawa, had to go up agaipst the red-tape of the militia department. Even the niinister of justice had no more influence in having. a liberal of capability appointed than any other member of the house. Minister Of Alilitia Censured. President Mowat then paid his com- pliments to Sir Frederick Borden, ie declared that the militia department was a disgrace to the country. One couldn't go to a place in Ontario that would say' a good word of it. No body of officers in any place A the province had a' good word (6 say of it.. Business men adopted the same attitude, and in view of all this, it was only to be concluded that the militia rtment was pretty rotten.

Fair Sized Audience at the Grand Last Night. There was a cock fight in Kingston, Tuesday night. The police were called, and the birds, together with those who had 1, were escorted to police station. The fight took place at the Grand at the close of the see- ond act in "Girls Will be Girls," and was witnessed by A fair-sized audi- ence. "Girls Will be Girls," a musical farce, was presented hy Al. Leech and his company, and provided fair enter- tainment. Al. Leech took the role of Prof. Ebenezer Dodge, principal of the Dodge Academy around which the piece centres. © He is very fond of cook fighting, and his love for that sport is continually keeping him in hot water, as the sheriff is determined to run down all guilty parties. There are many funny situations. The sheriff is himself placed under arrest far hav- ing the cock fight. After a lone hunt for the birds he finds them hidden in a piano, at the professor's. zcademy, and he endeavors to pry them out, He does so, but is discovered and plae- ed 'under arrest. The birds go a lively round. The school room scené in the second act provided much amusement, although some of the jokes were rath- er old. A spanking machine was in- troduced and was a good feature. Sey- eral of the girls who formed the class misbehaved, and suffered the penalty. The singing was good, the chorus being particularly strong. Al. Leech sang his latest, "He Walked Right In, Turned Around and Walked Right Out Again," and made quite 'a hit with the gallery. The Sprout sisters had many funny things to say, their most popular number being, "How Dy Do." It may not be generally known, but Fleurette De Mar, who appeared nas Madeline Scribner, a teacher of soci- ety, is a Kingstonian, having been born and raised in this city.

The men's social given, last night, in the lecture room of Queen street Methodist church was a great suocess, With one exception, no ladies took part in the affair. The programme was _Snocess--The in Evening Was givén by men, in evening dress. The reception committee were also in similar attire. The doors were open at 7:30 p.m. and the. crowd started to come and from then until 8:15 p-m. the doorkeepers and the recep- tion committee were kept busy finding seats and introducing strangers. The programme was one of .the best and full of humor. It, consisted of classic and comic sketches by the men of the congregation. A feature of the evening was the singing of the male quartette; ; it generously responded to encores. A recitation by George Wat- son was highly gratifying. The company was generally agreed that the event had been productive of good feeling, of creating friendships 'and of bringing into church work many young and old men, who had hitherto not been touched on . the so- cial side. Capt. Crawford as convener of the musical committee had gathered about him a fine set whose efforts were exceedingly amusing, particularly in setting forth some of the church needs and taking off some of its officials, After the programme dainty refresh- ments were served by the social com- mittee, assisted by the reception com- mittee, The gathering broke up with the singing of "God -- Save The King" soon after ten o'clock. Miss Singleton was the busy accompanist. Many visitors were in attendance and they were much pleased with the family--spirit manifested by the church people. The men will likely hand over to the Ladies' Aid some $70 or $80 as the result of the gathering. HOW TO FIX IT. The "King Street Breakwater Should Be Protected. A marine man points out that the city should do something very soon towards the repair of the King street bréakwater, If it is allowed to remain in. its present condition, there will be nothing left of it in another two years. He says it is poorly con- structed, and that the city's rubbish should not have been used. to fill in the old banks. What should be done now is for the city to contract for the delivery of a large number of scow loads of stone, and have this dumped in the water, right up against the planking. The depth in 'front of the breakwater is from three to eight feet. The stone thus placed would pro- tect the planking for.all time from the furious waves. At present the water is undermining the construction. Marine Paragraphs. Calvin's steamer India is expected to arrive at Richardsons' to-day with grain from Fort William.
