By the City Council in Honor of His Approaching Marriage The Mayor and Aldermen En- joyed a Dinner. . T There was a private gathering of the members of the city council, Friday evening, in the council chamber, eigh- teen "members being present. On this occasion the city fathers did not as- semble to worry over business affairs, but to spend a pleasant evening to- wether. E The proceedings were Mayor Ross, who, on behalf of the council, presonted Ald. T. J. Rigney | with a handsome cabinet of silver, in honor of his approaching marriage. The mayor made a neat speech, con- gratulating Mr. Rigney on the step he was taking, saying that he was glad to see him join the majority. as most of the men who sat around the horse- shoe had taken unto themselves a wife. Ald. Rigney was taken completely by surprise, and was visibly afiected by the kind expression from his col- leagues. Heé thanked the mayor and members of the council for their beau- tiful gift. After this pleasant occurrence, the members sat down to a pleasant little supper. After ample justice had been done to the good things provided, and cigars had been passed around, a cou- ple .of hours were spent in storv and song. The pleasant afiair was brought to a close about eleven o'clock. BASEBALL MATTERS. -- The Local Teams Are Getting In- ! to Condition. The Victoria baseball team had a fine practice, on Friday evening, at Victoria Park: The men are all out and are showing up well. Both senior and junior teams will be composed of good snap nlavers, who should hold their record of last year. : Many other city teams are working every fine evening, getting into shape for the opening of the leagye. One or two new teams will, in all probabil- ity, enter the league on Monday even- ing. The new teams will be welcomed in both senior and junior series, as one or two teams are needed in each. On Monday night the executive of the Kinoston Baseball Club will meet at the Randolph hotel, when the schedule will be submitted. Other business will be transacted and every team should have its representatives on hand, as this meeting will be one of the most important during the sea- opened by son. '] Baseball in the city would be great- ly improved if some one would form a junior league, 'for young players--a school boys' leaguo. Tt would get the youngsters interested in the game and would trim them up for future work in senior ranks. 'At one time Kings- ton was as noted in the field of sport for her ball teams as she was for hoc- key football, or any other form of amateur sport, and this old-time no- tariety should be brought back to the city. : "Good ball will be plaved in the City League, and it will be kept up from year to year, so we need a graduat- ing class into it évery year, as men will be taken from the junior and put on the senior teams, and juniors will be needed to fill up. Y.M.C.A. LADIES' AUXILIARY. Regular Monthly Meeting Held on Friday The usual monthly "meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Y.M.C.A. took place Friday afternoon, in the mem- bers' parlor, There was a good at- tendance. Mrs. R. H. Toye, presi- dent, was in 'the chair. ~ The meeting took the form of a thanksgiving meet- ing. Mrs. R. B. Nelles gave a suit able address along this line, which was greatly appreciated. Miss Ed- wards sang a solo very sweetly. Mr: Nelles gave a brief address, outlining his recent trip to the provincial con- vention at Stratford. The anxiliary is providing the funds for the extensive repairs now being carried out in the building. When these are completed the local asso- ciation will be in a position to offer the greatest inducements possible to the young men and boys of King- ston, who wish to gain for them- selves a Clean, wholesome atmosphere, free from the _ questionable surround- ings generally found in public places. | The lames are doing a splendid work and their sympathy and practical help in a large measure accounts for the increased activity of the Young Men's Christian association.

Dobbs had at last given up in the fight against dis- ease, axl had died on Friday night, at eleven o'clock, at the general hos- pital. To the last the gallant spirit held out, with ever a hight word for nurses, friends and relations. Mrs. Dobbs, who left Kingston in June, 1906, had been ill for eight months. She was operated upon in the hospital, at Seattle, on the first day of February, and recovered suffi- ciently to be brought home among déar and> lovisig friends.

Canadian playwrights have never be fore had such a chance to tost the merit of their work as the one cently offered them by William Sau ter, director and leading man of the Roval Alexandra English plavers, who will visit Kingston, presenting "Our Boys," at the Grand en Mouday, Ap- vil 27th, direct fram their phenomen- al run this season at America's most beautiful theatre, the Royal Alexan- dra, Toronto. Mr. Sauter, who is = good staunch Britisher, was struck | with Canada's possibilities when he first . visited the country and marvel led that there were not more plays written by Canadian writers. Partly as an experiment, partly for his own personal benefit, he made an offer | some weeks ago to play or have pro- fe MISS JANE MARBURY, With the Royal Alexandra Players, in "Our Boys,' at The Grand, on Monday, April 27th, - duced any play submitted to him providing they had poesibilities, and since that time he has received many manuscripts from all over Canada, many of which he is at present con- sidering. Of these "The Sword of Ie mocles," by Clifiord Smith, of Mont- real, will probably be the first pro- duced. 2 Said Mr. Sauter a short time ago : "New plays are a hobby of mine, and I see no reason why there should not he a school of Canadian drama even tually, which will take its place amongst the arts of the world, All it needs is somebody to start the ball rolling and I am going to try. With the inspiring scenery and the roman tic: history of the country there should be a famous field here for am bitious dramatists. Being a good sub- ject of the king I am willing to dn my best towards helping Canadians in this." Wheel Recruits Among Club Men. "Of course I have ~ been hearing more or less about the revival of in- terest in bicveling, but 1 did not take much stock in the proposition until recently," remarked a member of the New York Athletic Club to a knot of acquaintances. 'I was over at the club recently, about four o'clock, and was surprised to see a number of rid- ers starting out on. their wheels, and was also amazed to see the activity that prevaded the place. 1 heard more bike talk in five minutes than | bad heard before in five years. Well, 1 had a wheel there mysell, that 1 had almost forgotten that I owned, and I orde ed it cleaned up and went out with the bunch the next afternoon. The trouble I had keeping up with the rest of the parade was something of a jar to my. self-respect, for 1 was in the likely class once. The fact I am carrying a little: too much flesh I have been neglecting a good thing for several vears, but it will be the wheel for mine again this summer." Made An Honorary Member. At the annual - convention of the trustee department of the Untario Educational Association, this week, after the address of J. G. Eliott, of Kingston, on "Citizen Making, The Mission Of The School," the depart ment gave him a distinguishing honor, the third granted since 1587, that of an honorary member. The resolution unanimously passed read "Moved by J. H. Laughton. of Parkhill, seconded by John E. Fare- well, of Whitby, that as some slight token of our appreciation of the ser vices of J. G. Elliott, of Kingston, he be made an honorary mémber of this department." What Causes Boils ? people say a run-down condi- tion. The actual cause is the invasion of bacteria around the hair folicle.
