She was missed about 'an {hour later, and the family started {in search of her. She was found ly- {ing beside the C.P.R. tracks, where | she had been thrown by a passing freight train. She was found un- | conscious, and badly cut and bruised. {She was hurried to the city hospital, where she lies in a dying condition.

Dr. MacTavish's Reference in Sunday Sermon. { On Sunday evening, before a large | | congregation" in Cooke's church, Rev. | Dr. MacTavish made reference to the | cost of the liquor traffic, and inci-| dentally referred to the proposed new hotel. He spoke substantially as fol-| | lows : According 'to the very conserva- | | tive estimate of the last royal com-| mission on the liquor traffic, the dir-| ect cost, to say nothing of the indir- | ect, is a little over 88 per capita. Multiply that by 20,000, our total] population, and you find that it costs] 8160,000 a year to maintain the traf- | fic in this city, What an enormous drain upon our -resources, One hun- dred and sixty thousand dollars worse | than wasted. If a man had thé money which is worse than wasted in intoxi- cants in this city, he could erect a magnificent temperance hotel, and pre-| sent it as a free gift to the city, at] the end of two years, and in the] meantime he could pay the twenty-| hotel license-holders one thoue:{ ar i dollars a year, each, to keep | them out of mischief. | If all the bars in Kingston were | closed, what would the result Women who now buy their hats and | dresses at the rummage sales, would | go to the milliners and dressmakers | and order new goods, and they could | aflord to pay for them too. Men liv- ing in houses where they pay a very small rental, would move into larger dwellings, and as such houses are not available now, it would be necessary to erect them, and thus the building trades would be stimulated. Merchants wouid probably find, as merchants in West Toronto found, that debts long outstanding were paid. There is little or no encouragement to any to erect a temperance hotel," under existing circumstances, but if the were elosed, there would be some inducement to build a first-class temper- | ance hotel, which would attract the | best [ visitors to the city. If he asked the city to guarantee bonds for such" a no objection, at least moral grounds could be of- | fered to it seven be ?! man bars to a pro | moter class of house, on ¥ | KINGSTONIANS IN TROUBLE.
