Olympie ONLY ONE REMAINING |OF THE OLD D TIME TEMPER- "ANCE LECTURERS. Thomas N. Douftney Has Spent Over Twenty-Five Years in the Work--He Speaks @About Poli- tical Temperance. Rev. Father Matthew, John Haw- kins, John B. Gough, Frances E. Wil- lard, 'Dr. Jewett, Mrs. L, Youmans, Mary Livermore, John B. Finch and other great lights in the temperance work have long since passed into eternity, And gone to their eternal re- ward. Edward Carswell, of Oshawa, yet remains, but he has not been in active work for a long time hecause of ill health. Thomas N. Doutney, who is now visiting Kingston, is the only |living known man who has followed the work as temperance lectarer and worker continuously for over twenty- five years, thus giving the hest part of his life to the work. That fact is the more interesting since Mr. Dout- N. DOUTNEYY - THOMAS in former early lide, was hotel and wine room owner, and also a vie tim of the drink habit, and has gone through all that can Le suffered irom excess in drink. He therefore does the greater successful work because of his varied experiences with every phase of the liquor tratiic and drunkenness it- self. Mr. Doutney has the greatest sympathy with the erring, and does all he can to aid them to higher and Letter life. Mis power in pathos and humor and his presentation of dialec- tie characters in his lectures, together with his make his lees tures and work very attractive as well as profitalle, Mr. Doutney, as already frequently mentioned in the Whig, vigorously opposes prohibiticn and local opt as useless and injurious. He Lolieves dolely~ in gospel temperance, He also believes in license properly lived up to and enforced in decent but not tyrannical style, as the proper means of regulating the liuor trafic and in giving licenses only to those who will jrespeet and live up to the re ui e Iments of the law. Mr. Doutney \isits fall bar rooms, bar-owners and barsten- and bar-habitues, whenevef he {finds them in the bars sad makes | friends with them all. He covers up no faults or wrong and yet he has | the kindest words to say of and to {them all.

Thief Then Ransacks House While Parents Sleep on Floor. Be- neath. Clayton, N.J., July |4.-2Using chlor roform to drug the family a burglar robbed the house of James Winner early Saturday morning of $40 in cath and jewellery and silverware val- ued at over soul). The burglar gained entrance through a second storey window. The room first entered was occupied by James Winner's two daughters, Effie and Min. nie, eighteen and twenty years old respectively, He drenched a towel with chloroform and placed it the faces of the sleeping girls; "who were sleeping side by side. Effie was awakened, but said later that she was too drowsy to move. The burglar then went into the next room, which was occupied by. the girls' brother, Frank, Here he satury- ted a handkerchief with what reypain- ed of the chloroform and placed it over the youw man's head. The empty bottle, the towel and the hand- kerchief were found when the parents of the young people, who were sleep- the crime some hours later. Evigently fearing that Frank Win- ner might recover from the effects of the chloroform before he left the room, the burglar placed a mirror in such a position on the bureau that the bed was reflected in it while he ransacked the bureau. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. .__ The School Board Matter. Kingston, July 10.--(To tor) : | was very much amused when 1 read, in last night's Whig, the letters of John Macgillivary and W, H. Med- ley, regarding the reprefiensible ac- ton 'at * the recent meeting of the Board of Filucation. The one was so careful in an effort to conceal the real object why they left the 'meeting, and the other very innocently gave his whole case away. Mr. Maogil- livary did not touch upon his real motive for his action, therefore it is hardly necessaryr to reply to his claim that the meeting was illegal. If he were a man of dignity he would have agreed to do the business which had to be done and ratified "it later on. 1 am afraid the professor is doing in connection with the proposed mode] school what he has been doing cerning the Faculty of Education, ob- structing, no matter what the result might he. It is a great pity he is fol- lowing the lead of Registrar Thomp- son, in this matter, because before long his popularity among the profes- sors and students of Queen's will lose its influence in his behalf. Now, with regard to Mr. Medley's letter. He, too, tried to make it ap- pear that the reason he scooted was because he considered the meeting il- legal. The latter part = of his "letter, however, let the cat out of the bag. He objected to the transfer of Mr. Et- tinger. to the Central school, as if it were a demotion. It is a premotion, because the Central is larger than Victoria. But in his argument, Mr, Medley stated in effect that Mr. Et once con- unexplainable reason. Let us sce that is the truth. A model school master must have a first-class certifi- cate and model school experience. Mr. Ettinger has neither. He has simply a second-class certificate, therefore he is not qualified according to law to be principal of a model school. As Victoria is to be used for pedagogue and model school purposes, Mr. Et tinger is to be transferred to Central school. No one knows these details petter than Mr. Ettinger himself; and I am sure he will pot thank Mr. Med- ley for rendering this explanation ne cessary. Further, Mr. Medley gave Mr. Ettin- ger great praise as a teac her, all .of which he deserved. But there is such a thing as going so far as to reflect on others. He said Mr. Ettinger pass- ed thirty-two out of thirty-two pupils who went up to the entrance examin- ations. "1 just wish to say here that 1 have been told én the best author- ity that if the number passed by Mr. Ettinger each year for the last five years was compared with those pass- ed by the three lady senior fourth teachers, the comparison wonld not be in his favor, even although Vie- toria has the best class of pupils. 1t is much easier to succeed in Victoria than in Frontenac But only an impulsive greenhorn would jurge a teacher by the number of pupils he or she passes. Whe quality of the pupils must be considered. For instance, be- cause the pupils who pass first are al- ways those of the lady teachers, should the teachers get all the credit. Not at all. Now 1 regret, Mr. Fditor, ghat 1 had to be so plain in my remarks, but Mr. Medley's letter necessitated it, and for that readon Mr. Ettinger has every reason to say, "Save me from my friends." When men go to the newspapers, it is always best to be frank and to tell the whole truth, even although the writer may suffer, What proves more than anything else that the threé gentlemen whe fol- lowed Registrar Thompson's in- triguing le ad only used the "out of order" cry in order to prevent cer- tain business fro being done; was the fact that they did not do it and legalize it after: The importance 'of the business would have justified them in doing so.--EDWARD BENNETT." school.
