It seems to be an accepted fact that a girl has a perfect right to go back on the man to whom she is engaged to be married when she becomes eon- vinoed that he is afflicted with the sin of egotism and selfishness. That is a part of the story in "A Message From Mars," the famous comedy drama which will be seen here at The Grand to-night. Selfish men do find women who will marry them, but it is generally believed that the girl is de- ceived until too late. Some lawyers say that selfishness is the cause for more divorce suits than any other ten reasons that might be assigned. The author of "A Message From Murs," built his play wisely, in that he made orchestra and {it on high lines and dealt with condi- i i tions as they really exist. B. A. Hotel Arrivals. T. Halle, W.

HEAVY DOOR CLOSED. And Flattened the Thumb of W. Day. On Sunday afternoon, William Day, of the Crown bank staff, suffered a severe accident to his left hand. Mr. Day and some companions rowed down to Cedar Island, in the afternoon, and in their travels were up on the old fort. The heavy iron doors on the old stone pile are not very solid . and swing quite easily with the wind. William was the last man up, and had just reached the top, when one of the doors closed on him, jamming the thumb of his left hand in against the stone. His friends quickly ran to his assistance, but the door was so heavy that the three of them could not move it aid of some campers was se- cured and by using a heavy stick as a lever the door was raised enough to let the unfortunate young man get his hand away, aiter being held there for fully twenty minutes. Mr. Day came to the city to have his injuries at- tended to. His thumb was flattened from the nail to the second joint. Ile is quite lucky that the door caught his hand, as he might have easily 'ost his life if the heavy irqn door had closed on his arm or shoulder.

It appears that | STILL PREVAILS AT THOUS- AND ISLAND PARK. This Old Resort Continues to Draw the Most People--Break- | down of Two Boats Has Lessened the Trips Among the Islands. The old. Thousand Island Park con- place where the bulk of -the summer fouriats to the St, Lawrence wend their way. It's alwayd an- active spot, and whether the other resorts of the Thousand Island 'region complain of light travel, the old Methodist camp-| ing ground, the Park, never has cause for grumble. The Park has not yet lost its significance as a camping ground, for every week during July and August, there are excursions from Bay of Quinte points conducted by Methodist pastors. The steamer Va- runa still carries the Bay people in large nimbers to the Park to spend from Saturday evening till Monday morning. > The most noticeable improvements at the Park since last year are the {additions to the wharf. buildings, and | the many new concrete walks. In a few wears, there will be a fine system | the Lord's Day is, still rigidly main- | tained. As the Park is owned by an association, it has its own laws, and no steamboat, either traffic or excur- sion can land on Sunday.

For some days past, have been handicapped for want .of boats. The steander St." Lawrence broke down last Wednesday, and on Saturday the Capt. Visger had to fol- low her to Kingston for repairs to a broken shaft. It is Tmpossible to get other boats to replace these, and at the very height of the season, their absence is heavily felt, as the number of excursion trips is greatly lessened. The Folger boats have all they can do to attend to the general pori-to-port traffic. _It has been reported that they had as the Washington authorities to allow the steamer America, which is a Canadian boat. to take the place of the St. Lawrence, in «view of the existing circumstances. Without such permission, the Ameriea cannot carry passengers from one United States port to another.

Ottawa Journal. A question arises whethér our banks could not help themselves and the situation a little by incoeasing the rate of interest allowed by thém on savings or deposits. Some years ago the dominion government used to pay four per cent. on savings. Money was plentiful, and looking for safe holes without stoo much regard for profit, so the banks, which wanted to pay less interest, induced" the government, to reduce its rate to three per' cent. The banks did the same. This probably did not make a great deal of difference at the time. But at the present iod, when sale stocks can be bo by. the public at figures upon which the return is equivalent o five, six or seven per cent., any- y who keeps money on deposit at three per cent. either has some special reason for doing it, or does not know any better. So we suppose the bank savings deposits are a heap less at present 'than they might be, and that the ability of Vugadian harks to lend money, is correspondingly i ired. In fact, we believe ek oe de posits to be to-day far lower, propor- tionately to the country's population ! and business, than they have are the Canadian people a nation of tinue season after season to be the|' THE PUAN SUMIN BAD BLOOD "Before 'using Casearets, I had a bad com- oT Lome Ts face.
