The arrest of Shaw caused quite a sensation around the city, as he was quite well known on account of his connection with the street railway. Om Friday last the prisoner sold his furniture to a Jew for six dollars. This money the Jew is out, as the furniture was purchased from a local firm under lease, and the stuff must be returned to them. Shaw also owes many merchants around the city, and is behind in the rent of the house he vacated about two weeks ago. (Continued on Page 3.) "THE. BURGONASTER" ANOTHER GOOD PRODUC. TION AT THE GRAND.

The production at the Grand, last night, was up to the standard, and 'the audience was de- lighted. music is tuneful, the songs attractive, and the comedy wholesome and entertaining. As the burgomaster, Peter Stuyvesant, Gus Weinburg, was very clever, giving some comedy that was in no way overdone, and in such a as to be most pleasi Ruth White, as Willie Van Astorbilt, made a big hit. In her song, "The Tale of the Kanga- roo," she again triumphed. Leo Ken- dal, as Doodle Van Kull, was a very funny character. He and the burgo- master are responsible for the most of the fun. The chorus was in good voice, and the musical numbers warmly en- cored. Popular selections were, "The Little nid Tale 3 "The garoo,"" "Cupid Does Not Marry" and "The Hypuotist."

Sect Wile $C Makers Of Fine Furs. For Issuing School The Board of Education had a spe- cial session last evening, to consider the request of Queen's University that four of the Collegiate Institute toach- ers, who are rated in Class II ys in- structors, be replaced by Class ! men, in order to comply with the demands of the Ontario ucational degart- ment in connection with the faculty of pedagogy, whose students gie to «| receive part of their practicyl in struction at the institute. Lest there should be an ides that the teachers in question are not cap- able, it might be explained at the that their scholarship is not attacked. Two of them are gold me- dallists of Queen's. They are quite capable of instructing the Collegiate pupils, but not acceptable to the dean of the fatiulty of pedagogy, for the work that he requires. Had there been no faculty of pedagogy established at Queen's, their fitness would never have been questioned. Those points were forcibly brought out in the dis- cussion, in favor of the teachers in question, so that their reputation might not suffer by the necessity of their replacement. What the bdard had before it wus the report of the management com- mittee, which recommended that it was ingxpedient to make any changes in the Collegiate staff in the middle of the school year, as the institute had suffered more than once by simi- lar changes to those proposed. Since the management committee met, however, new issues had axzisen. Dean Lavell was present and anhounc- ed that Queen's University would guarantee the salaries of the four teachers up to July Ist next, und help them to secure other appoint- ments, so that they would not suficr. It would also pay any increages ne- cessary to new teachers. But the board was to receive quite a shock from a telegram from no oth- er a personage than Hon. Dr. Pyne, minister of education, to the effect that if the Collegiate staff was not brought up to the requirements of the department of education, he would not be able to recommend to his col- leagues of the cabinet the continu- ance of the School of Pedagogy at Queen's. This telegram was addressed to Dean Lavell, who had informed the minister of the attitude of the man- agement committee of the school board in not wishing to make any changes in the staff at the present time. The telegram sounded like a mandate or a hold-up, and the minister of educa- tion was the target for some warm compliments during the discussion that followed. Edward Bennett declared that he wouldnt stand for such a hold-up. He vigorously assailed the minister of education. for saying indirectly, that if the board didn't dismiss certain teachers, Queen's couldn't get the pedagogy grant. The sooner such czar- Mandate to the Kingston Board. He Demands Removal of Collegiate Teachers--- The Minister of Education Given a Drubbing by Conservative Trustee. jsm ceased the. better. Mr. Bennett de- clared that he had always supported the government now in power at To- | ronto, but he would not stand for such policy as Dr. Pyne's. The minis- ter of education doesn't control the money. The people of the province do. Dr. Pyne would have to come down from his czar position. He must re member that the Board of Education's first duty is to the people it repre- sents, Mr. Bennett said. The minister of education must not attempt to coerce the board. Other ministers of education had been brought to time before, angl the same thing would hap- pen in the present case. In replying to some questions, Dean Lavell mentioned the fact that though' Kingston's Collegiate ranked fifth in the province, yet smaller plac- es were paying higher salaries to their teachers. Queen's had to act gecord- ing to the wishes of the department of education, and the proposed chang- es in the staff would cost the univer- sity quite a sum of money, which it could ill-afford to pay. However, it was bound that the pedagogy depart- ment should go on, now that it was established, even if it had to go down deeply into its own pockets to pay the bill. Principal Ellis was asked as to the effect the changing of teachers in the middle of a term would have up- on the institute. He replied that there would certainly be a disafrangement of the studies. The continuity of the work would be decidedly affected. It would be unnatural to be otherwise. Even with the most expert teachers, the classes would not likely. be as far ahead at the close of the term as they would if the present teachers re- mained. The Ontario government was severe- ly criticized for = expecting Queen's University to establish a department of pedagogy and give as good ine struction to students with the paltry grant of 85,000, as Toronto Univer- sity, with an unlimited grant, a big staff of professors; and five Collegiate Institutes to utilize for practice pur- poses. The grant to Queen's was ludi- crously small. The board discussed the. question for two hours and a haliz *The trustées realized that they were in a difficult public and the children. The latter couldn't be allowed to suffer through a break in the teaching. There might be trouble at the midsummer exami- nations as a result. Then they didn't think it fair to turn out teachers in the middle of a term, without notice and injure their reputations. Again what guarantee was there that better teachers could be secured. The board wished to do everything legitimate to assist Queen's. It was finally decided to leave the final decision till the regular meeting on the 12th. THE UNEMPLOYED A CITIZEN DISCUSSES THE . QUESTION. The Policy Pursued By Immi- grants--They - Preferred the City--The Country is the Place For Their Services. According to all reports, there will be a number of unemployed in the city this winter, and the question is one that is causing a great deal of discussion. . In speaking about the matter to the Whig, yesterday, a citizen stated that the present state of afiairs was only the outcome of the policy that has been pursued by the immigrants this year. lle says that they have, to a large extent, avoided the country life, considering it to be a poor place for them. They considered that it would be_much better for them to accept a ition from a city employer. and one who has now, with the winter ahead, no further use for their ser- vices. "H they had gone to the country in the summer they would have got fair wages and would have been given a chance for a good home for the winter," added the citizen. "Workers were very scarce on the farm this sum- iner. There are lots of farms where a man could earn his board, if nothing else, and this would be far better than for him to lounge about the city all the winter." Journalists' Remembrance. H. R. Charlton, of the Grand Trunk railway ° system, was agreeably sur- purist by the receipt from London, England, of a beautiful sterling silver cigar box, sent by the last party of British journalists (representing seve- ral financial journals), who recently visited Ontario for the purpose of in- vestigating the mineral sections of that province. The box is a very handsome one, and the lid bears the following inscription : 'To Harry R. Charlton, a souvenir of a pleasant pilgrimage through the province of Ontario, September, 1907." Then fol- low the names of the sixteen represen tatives and their papers, who made up the party. Mr. Charlton accom- panied these gentlemen throughout their entire tour while they were in Canada What do you think of a year's sub- scription to the Whig as a Chrismas gift for the absent ope?
