He Will Be in Kingston As He Wishes to See Some of the In- stitutions--Brief Sketch of His Career. s Lord Roberts has yielded to the so- licitations of Sir James Shaughnessy and the C.P.R. and has consénted to accept the use of a private train n which he will travel as far west as Banfi in Alberta. He will leave here about the 20th and proceed to Mon- treal, where he will geeept the city's hospitality. From Montreal he goes to Ottawa where elaborate arrange- ments have been, made for his enter: tainment. From Ottawa Field Mar- shall Roberts will visit Toronto and Hamilton, then Lake Ontario to Niagara Falls, returning to Toron- to and continuing his journey west ward' over the broad and extensive plaing and prairies of the far western country, where he will have a chance to see the country that produced such fine miutary specimens as the Strath- cona Horse. Banfi at the eastern end of the towering and complex ranges of the Rockies will he the limit of his travel westwdrd. He will return to Kingston via C.P.R. and pass through the Thous- and Islands, in all probability. He expressed a desire to see the Royal Military ~ College, the training home of men of the stamp of Sir Perey Girouard.

Lord Roberts must be back in Que- bee on the 21st of August to emuark for home on one of the C.P.R. steam ers, Several . distinguished will, no doubt, accompany him on his western trip. Lord Roberts is nearly seventy-six years of age--his years are beginning to tell on him, and he shows distinct signs of rapid failing. He is of that type which will wear uniform to the last and die with his spurs on. Little "Bobs," loved by soldier and civilian alike, will pass |into the great beyond with his baton of authority gripped in his battle stained hand. Lord Roberts was born in was educated at Eton and the Mili- tary College at Adiscombe. He joined the Bengal Artillery just a few years previous to the breaking out of the Indian mutiny, in which he won his Victoria Cross for his gallantry be- {fore Delhi He was present at the capture of the city of Moguls. He next marched to Cawnpore and Agra He was afterwards attached to the army of Sir Colin Campbell, and marched with him from Cawnpore to Lucknow, being in charge of the seout- soldiers 1832 and ing service The Afghan war of 1875, caused by the schemes of Russia in Northern In- dia, gave Roberts an opportunity to show his real military which {he did in a way that compelled world- wide recognition as a leader. In 1879 he was put in charge of the advance on Yakoub Khan for his treachery in murdering Col. Cavag- nari and his small after sign- ing the "ScientWMic Frontier.- After , lhard march of 305 miles he reached | Kabel, only to look upon the dead and mutilated bodies of Cavagnari {and his men. 'This great march was | completed in twenty days, including one rest day. With 10,000 selected | men, composed of the 60th rifles, 72nd {Highlanders and a native regiment he forced his way throygh a hostile and {fanatical country nd punished the {unfaithful Afghans for their treach- (ery. He made commander-in- {chief in India and when Wolseley was |so long making his way up the Nile {to gave Gordon and relieve Khartoum a strong sentiment in the old lapd {suggested sending Roherts to look for Wolseley Many believe had Roberts been put in charge of the Nile expedi- | tion he would have saved Gordon. | Several brushes with hill tribes and a strenuous military eareer made his [latter life in India full of incident and danger. { "When poor Buller was suffering de- feat on veldt and koppe endeavoring [to reach Ladysmith, England sent Ro- | herts to South Africa with a large {army and a clever stafi ta subdue the | consequential Boers and Free Staters, {He accomplished his task, marched linto [Pretoria apd unfurled Britain's {flag {o the breez®in the capital of the Boer country. | Lord Roberts ' held the position of field marshal' and commander-in-chief for about fifteen or sixteen months { when the position was abolished, very suddenly, and to the surprise of Lord Poherts and his admirers, a militia council took hisg*place, whose head is styled inspector-general, and which is now held by General French.

THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1908. THE SPORT REVIEW BASEBALL BETWEEN PEEL- ERS AND POSTIES. The Cops Think They Will Win-- Emeralds and Locos on Satur) day--The Lacrosse Team is in Good Shape. From appearances on Wednesday evening the bail game called for this afternoon between the postmen and the policemen was to be a hot con test. The men of letters were out id the afternoon (while their opponents were keeping quiet), antl had a fine practice. "doe" Daley and "Eddie" Hiscock had a likely looking bunch out for a few throws. it is rumored that Daley, Hiscock & Co., have one or two new men that they are Kkeep- ing #1 the dark until the same. Wil- kinson, McCullough, Parkins, Doherty, Hiscock, Daley, White, Little, Donuel- ly, and many more will be out on Wednes lay. The 'cops' got a clue about four o'dock, that their enemies wero at work, and the plain clothes man was at once despatched to the scene, and hiding himself in the long grass, near the new road on Park avenue, he suc- ceeded in having a look at the prac- tice, and when he saw the way the old ones handled the sphere, he began to feel a little bit afraid of the out come, but remembering his duty, he stole silently back to the meeting place to tell his chums what hé had discovered. The greatest nine on earth piloted by: Captain Arniel, are quite confident of the result, and when last scen were in the best of humor, as Pitcher Filson has discovered that he has nine curves and only seven of them are the same. Emeralds And Locos. Two members of the Emeralds left on Wednesday for Toronto, to witness some of the hig league games. Daniel Anderson gnd H. O'Rourke took in the trip. The Emgralds and C.'L. C. are both working hard for their game on Sat- urday, when they meet for the first time. The Emeralds are looked on by quite a few to change the standing of the league, and if' they win this game they will be able to do it. The league stands now with the Locos leading, without being defeated, the Victorias and Irishmen are tied next, and the Emeralds are third. 1pere may be a tight race yet, as only a very few points divide the teams. A meetihg of the league executive will be-held before the first of the week, when the cups will be presented and it will be decided how they will be put up, and how often a team must win them to own them. Lacrosse Men At Work. The lacrosse team had another splendid practice on Wednesday even- ing. The players were all out early, when it was perfect daylight. Both nets were out to have a good game. The team is improving every day and if it keeps on it will he able to hand Belleville something when they come here on Civic holiday. One or two new players have come out during the past week or so and are showing up well, Fotarmt-- May Wax Still Wins. May Wax, the, fast little -trotter, owned by W. H.

Year by year the Canadian. Fire Un- derwriters' Association has demanded additions to MAingston's fire service. Underwriters' demands will never be wholly acceded to, but hingston, it would seem, has complied with ouly a fraction of them. For eight years, the old Merryweather engine has been con- demned, but it still remains on the fire-fighting force. To show that Chief Elmer has not sufticient fire-fighting equipment at his service, a paragraph from his annual report to the city councii, last January, is given. The 'chief in that report says : "l wish to call your attention to the necessity of complying as near as possible with the underwriters' de- mands, keeping in view the need of an up-to-date fire engine, either motor or steam, as our Merryweather steamer has stood condemned for the past eight years for fire-fighting purposes. The underwriters also demand 5,000 feet of hose. We have a hard time keeping 3,000 feet, as other depart- ments use about 200 feét a year, and do not pay anything to the fire and light department for--the--same." That report was referred to the fire committee, but 'no new fire engine or no additional hose has yet been pur- chased. The items seem too large for the committee, but it could at least pat itself on. record by recommending that another sengine be purchased and that 2,000 feet more of hose be sup- plied. Then the city council would have a chance to say yes or no. Without a recommendation from the committee, the chief's report remains practically pigeon-holed. » The underwriters, this vear, as well as for the past three or four vears, have reported to the city council that in order to make the local fire service as effective as it should be, a new cighteen-inch water main should be 1sid from the corner of Wellington and Clarence streets, down Clarence to Ontario, along Ontario to Princess, and up Princess to Wellington. That woul l a@nvolve a big outlay. Super- intendent Hewitt, of the waterworks, doesn't think it necessary. The only addition he suggests is to put in a main in place of the three-inch pipe on Clarence street, between Wellington and King streets. The three-inch pipe is no use for fire service, Then the underwriters asked for other things. In their last report they sav that the longest ladder in the equirment of the department is too short, and that a suitable exten- sion ladder or an aerial turntable truck to enable the firemen to get im mediately and easily on the top of the roofs of the city's highest build- ing:, is necessary. Thev also ask for an increased number of firemen, or at least five more men. Another important requirement of the underwriters is that the firemen should have regular and systematic diil's, and that they should make in- smection of all important buildings in the city, so as to be thoroughly ac- auaintedd with them, inside and out, in case of fire.

As an evidence of a spirit of unity | between' the Methodists and Presby- terians in this section, it is said that a proposal may be submitted to the respective bodies, the Methodist dis- trict meeting and the Presbyterian to arrange the work on Wolfe and Amherst Islands, so that the two bodies on these islands might amalgamate and form good, strong churches, and release two men for much | needed work at other points.

Quieter Than a Year Ago--Never Hear of Those Who Lost in Their Mining Speculations--A Pull With Whitney. 1). A. Weese, Princess street, has just returned from a business rip to Co- balt Soo lumbering section, Manitou- lin and the 10,000 islands. He 're- ports the north is very quiet this season comparing it with a year ago. Very few groups of prospectors are seen where last year trains were filled with them and a great dropping off in tourists is noticeable. In the min-9 ing district of Cobalt the mines show Many stories, he says, are heard about Mr. So and So cleaned up dollars of various sums, while the names of the poor fellows who have thrown thousands in the pool and borrowed their way out, have been erased from the records. Mr. Weese found the lumbering dis- tricts busy cutting, while sales are reported slow and a few of the mills will shut down owing to over-produc- tion. A few are running twenty-four hours a day. «There has been a great change in the labor question also. Men seem to realize now that posi- tions are scarce and even though wages in some instances have been cut, yet there is an eagerness on the part of workmen to hold their ' jobs. An outsider looking at the lumber piles of John Island, Spanish Mills, Treslian, Spragg, etc., would natural- ly think they contained enough lum- ber to supply this continent for the next five years. Mr. Weese drove over ninety miles of road 'on Manitoulin Island and decid- ed that some one there must have had a "pull" with Sir James Whit- ney. He wishes that old Frontenac would awaken, banish the remaining toll gates and not miss its share of the public road fund, before the good "pulls" are all gone. The scenery of the North channel, Georgian Bay, is admired by many tourists. But for scenery and beauty it is not to be compared with our St. Lawrence. The loat accommodation ig very good. Some six large passenger boats run weekly each way, besides mail boats plying from the main shore. THESE ARE HOT DAYS, But Kingston Has Nothing to Complain About. The heat since last Saturday has been quite severe, and a day of cool- ness would be very much welcomed at this stage. Of course, we're not hav- ing New York or Chicago weather, or even the heat of Montreal, Ottawa or Toronto, but still it has been warm enough to thoroughly thaw out the most cold-blooded in this city. The official temperatures reported by Dr. Knight have been : Monday, 79 de- grees; Tuesday, 81 degreesst Wednes- day, 80.5 degrees. To-day is just as hot as yesterday, and the day before, and perhape a trifle hotter. It feels so anyway. | Downtown the tempera- ture is higher than in !the resitlential parts--probably three or four degrees. The steady heat has kept the people much to their home plots, this week. Only those who require to do so, move about. In the .evenings, the parks are well patronized, for the cool breezes. The street cars have done a heavy business for the past week. Kingston, however, has nothing to complain about. This is the coolest city in the province. In other cities, the people are fairly roasted.

Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany, Buropéan authority on skin diseases, says that dandruff is as contagious as any other malevelent disease, and that one common source of the spread of dandruff is the use of the same hair brush by different persons. The way to avoid catching dandruff or any other disease from another's brush, is to insist on the use of New- bro's *Herpicide. It not only kills the dandrufi germ, but it is also 'an anti- septic that will prevent the catching of any disease whatever through con- tagion of another's brush.
