A Local Scavenger Fined By the Robert Reeves, scavenger, was fined and costs, with the option of ten days in jail, for dumping ashes on the Mills property on Earl street. The case was before the court several weeks ago, but was adjourned for further evi- dence. It was shown that Reeves had dumped the ashes on the property without having received any instruc- tions to do so, and the magistrate remarked that it was rather unusual for a city Suvengior to he mixed up in a ease of this kind, ---------- Help From Kingston.

The first hotel halted at on the honeymoon tour was a leading one of Toronto. The bride advanced to the register and wrote her pew name on one line, and that of her husband on the mext line below, while the hoppy groom stood by in ardent 'ad: miration.

The concluding piece was Mr. Bran- nigan's airship, which, with the own- er, his wife, their son and the skip- per, voyaged in the ether all about the world, the skipper pointing out oh- jects en route.

At the time of the present Prince of Wales' Canadian visit he was presented with a couple of the Capital players' sticks. ------ GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Levdon Amusement Company is the Attraction. The Levdon ' Amusement company made its first appearance at The Grand Opera House, last evening. There was a very fair audience, who were much pleased with the entertain. ment. The pictures were high-class production. The light was elear, with flickering: which caused the illustrated pictures to be shown to advantage. Among the principal ones were "Trained Dogs," "Casey and His Goat," an affair of honor, "The Murder on the Train," with the great tunnel scene: "Lady Pompton's Motor Car," which causal much laughter: "Reube and Mandy at Coney Island," country cousins hav- ing the time of their lives: "Empire State Express," and magnificent scenes from Frenchville, the photo- graphy of which was a fine piece of work. Mack Arless, the funny little Dutch man, sang several comic songs, which were repeatedly applauded. Mercedes Desmond, it was much to be regretted, was unable to appear owing to temporary illness, i singer of ability. There will be a change of programme to-night. The company will appear to-night and will give a matinee to-morrow after- noon. ES -- COBALT NOT IDEAL. Has Bad Water, Smallpox, Typhoid and Blackflies. W. H. Brooks, the Kingston wrest: ler, is not very favorably impressed with the north country arowmd Co- balt. Mr. Brooks says thet though money can be freely made there are soveral drawbacks which will alwave be felt. The greatest of these is the lack of good drinking water which is imported in barrels and sold at so much a quart. At this season of the vear small-pox and typhoid fever are very common and 'in the samumer the black flies and other inspets make life unbearable. As a sporting country, Mr. Brooks says Cobalt is the best in Canada, fbut to settle down and live there the husky wrestler remarked that he would not live where manufactured beverages are the only drink. Car Of The Track, y Street car No. 23 "skidooed" off the track on Ontario street, in front of the K. & P. station, about eight v'clock last evening, and was delayed for ahout half an hour.
