Was In Flower." CHIEF COUNCILLOR RICH.| From beginning to end there have ARDSON'S STATEMENT. Audit of the Books Shows That Charges Were Uniounded--No Desire to Retain the Dissatis- fied Members. Kingston, Feb. 19.-(To the Edit or): Several items having appeared in the Whig relating to the C.0.C.F, and the troubles of Council No. 20, it was thought best to give an au- thorized statement of the facts as they occurred, that all might know the exact state of afairs. In a council of about 700 members, having offices of trust, bringing to the occupants certain monetary remuneration, it is not strange that. there should be a certain amount of rivalry in obtain ing them. Our elections are annual, and disappointed aspirants of former years made a supreme effort last De- cember to capture the coveted offices. This, in itself, is perfectly legitimate, but not so the tactics employed. The two oflices carrying salaries, and form- ing the inner-lortress of assault and defence were those of recorder and physician, both of which have been held for some years past by R. C. Bell and Dr. J. H. Bell, respectively, and in the. contest, charges of false hood, dishonesty and breach of trust were freely and openly made against these two officials. The results of the polling found both officials returned to ofice apd their opponents every- where defeated. : At the annual meeting, two audi- tors, Messrs. 0. V. Bartels and A. W. Maclean, were appointed and instruct- ed to make a searching examination of all financial matters in connetjon with the council. Their report pre- sented at the installation of officers for 1908 showed that the recorder, K. €. Bell, had kept his hooks correctly and had paid the funds 10 the trea- surer, U. Gi. Clarke, on an average of every ten days, although the by-laws required this to be done but fort nightly. During the year $10,070.2] had passed through his hands and heen correctly accounted for. The council's assets (furniture, cash on hand), were $1,426.39, and its liabili- ties, $443.63, leaving a balance of $982.76 to the council's credit. The treasurer's (U, (i. Clarke) bank book was found to be correct, the entries corresponding to the vecorder's vouch- ers, and the treasurer's receipts. His cash book was found to have one or two errors, one of which was his fail- ure to enter a cheque for $260, receiv- ed from the recorder, December 11th but as the bank hook showed he had deposited that ameunt on December 12th, he. could not. he charged with personally appropriating that amount and was, therefore, merely an error of omission on his part. The auditors' recommended that certain changes be made in the treasurer's hook and this suggestion is being acted upon this year. 1 was a great relief as we satisfaction to the members or ot to know that the officers to whom they had entrusted their affairs in 1907 had been faithful to their trust and the accusations of "mispsing"' and depositing council funds in their per. sonal accounts" were entirely without foundation in fact. : The members who a No. 20 | have recently with. drawn, thirty-seven in number, were foremost in making the charges re- ferred to and in leading the forces of the "'opposition." It is their privilege to withdraw from No. 20, and they do so without any regrets on the part of the 600 and more who remain and who trust they may never associate them- selves with a council governed by less honest men than those of No..20 . for 1907 have heen shown to be. Some who applied for withdrawal cards have since expressed the desire to remain. No effort "will be made by the pres- ent officers of No. 20 to retain the membership of any who wish to with- draw, as it is our wish that peace and harmony should reign rather than strife and discord. These are, of course, "family" mat- ters, and my only object in asking you ta publish the above is to assure the many members of No. 20 of the solvency and strength of our council, and to do justice to those officers of 1907 whose honesty was questioned and whose characters were assailed. 1 might also state that we have in the six weeks of 1908 admitted more mem- bers than in six months of 1907. Thankisg you for your courtesy, I re- main, very truly yours, ALEXANDER Ww. RICHARDSON, Chief Councillor, Kingston Council, No. 20, C.0.C.F. Stop that ticking cough!

'The old furpiture, the tapestry, the armor, the wall scenes, the books, all have been selefted because of their special fitness, and ome of the hardest things in the rehearsal of the play has been the old-fashioned court dances which are iutroduced in the first act to the rhythm of old-fashioned music. 1a its last act the play is unique,in that the good old atmos- phere is retained to the very last, and there is an epilogue spoken by Miss Merritt, which comes as a sort of personal appeal to the feminine por- tion of the audience, and which proves to be the climax of the good and lasting impression made by "Maty Tudor throughout the performance. FLAG FOR A SCHOOL. Presentation Made at Sydenham School. On Tuesday afternoon, School Trus- tec Daniel Reeves paid a visit to Sydenham school, Wellington street, and presented the school with a hand- some large silk Union Jack. All the pupils assembled in the kindergarten room for the occasion, and in making the presentation Mr. Reeves delivered an appropriate address. After the singing of "The Maple Leaf," the lag was handed over to one of the pupils. It was then hoisted up and given a royal salute by the scholars. The singing of the national anthem, brought the proceedings to a close. The flag will be used at the school for saluting purposes. Inspector Kidd was present when the presentation was made. ATTENDED THE FUNERAL THE SERVICE WAS SIMPLE BUT IMPRESSIVE Gospel Tabernacle Was Crowded By the Helped and the Helpers--A Beatific Vision. Doctors Leonard Jones and George Dalton, Kingstonians, attended the funeral at the Gospel Tabernacle, New York, on Monday. The edifice is in the tenderioin district of "Hell's Kit- chen," a veritable mission. It was crowded to the utmost limit by poor and middle-class people, the helped and the holpers. The service was simple, but impressive beyond description. Several of his fellow-workérs spoke. The eulogy of Rev. A. B. Simpson was an oration as well as a tribute of Tove and reverence for character. All of the t audience were visibly moved. Rarely has a more intense sorrbw been shown. A letter Dr. Wilson bad written to New York during his visit to Kingston last month was read. It spoke -affection- ately of many persons here and of the pleasures of the meeting. He died at the home of wealthy friends and followers in Atlanta, and the end was not alone a perfect peace, but just before the end he became con- scious and spoke of the angelic host waiting and beckoning, The Are To Be Retired.

The recent attack by a local paper on the three theatoriums was in no way whatever responsible for the city engineer's report upon the exits of Kingston's public buildings. The new by-law as to exits was passed Just April. Uwnpers and trustees' of build- ings involved were given six months to make necessary changes. City En- gineer Beckwith began early last smn. mer, to examine. the bmildings, end on, ever spare. His report . was oxpected by December 1st long before the attack upon the local theatoriums. Accord- ing to the by-law all parties who have not complied are now liable to the penalty fixed. The police magis- trate will have to impose a fine upon himself, as he is a trustee of Chal- mers church. How does the local jail comply with the by-law ? It has not been reported upon, though it is a public building Do its doors open outward and are the exits free of access at all times to the inmates ? It is said they are not. Do 'the civie authorities intend take action or repeal or modify the by-law ? 1f action js taken the churches; halls, ote. can be closed up until the necessary improvements dre made. It is pointed out that the by-law, while very comprehensive, is not elas- tic enough. There are some places in the city which have lots of exits, and more than enough to suffice, but that they do not conform exactly to the bylaw because peshaps no one of the exits is five feet wide, as required "Bhie engineer hag not yet réported on St. Paul's church, Uneen's University buildings, dairy school, Tafants' Home, Notre Dame convéat and pne or two other places.

THE HALLS OF QUEENS BE AP *, Ross Bradley to Go Down to the McGill Medical Dinner--Re- ligiows Persuasions of the Students. Although no official action has vet béen taken, it is understood that there will shortly be introduced a stipulation requiring extra-mural stu- dents to spend the third and fourth years of their course in actual atten- dance at Queen's. This regulation has always been in force as far as high school specialist certificates are con- cerned, and it is felt in many guar- ters that it, would be to the ultimate advantage of the "extra-murals" themselves il 'the regulation were ap- plied to all the courses in arts. --- | At this afternoon's meeting of the Political Science and Debating Club, D.
