Manager Folger Reports Upon Filling the New Gas Tank--J | M. Campbell Has Had All Cost Up to the Present. The Light, Heat and Power commit- tee met yesterday afternoon. In at- tendance were Alderinen Givens (chair- man), Couper, McCann, Elliott and Angrove. Manager Folger stated that the new gas tank was in operation. The filling of the tank was un last Friday. In eleven hours, the ank leaked nine inches, doubtless on account of it being so dry. He used sawdust, bran and paper to tighten the tank. A pump had been put to work, and now it has to run two or three hours less a day. The leakage would gradually decrease. The manager stated that J. M. Camp- bell had paid every cent of expense incurred in connection with the tank up i Monday, so that matter was set tied. Replying to Ald. Givens, the manager said that the city's Boston expert asked him to supply him with records of the leakage. Manager Folger said that nothing further could be done to the tank uptil the spring as it was needed all the time. He was keeping track of the leakage, etc. Ald. Elliott spoke about the city pro- ceeding against Mr. Campbell. He re- marked that he didn't think it would do any good. He understood that Mr. Campbell had washed his hands of the matter. The manager was authorized to make a number of purchases which he recom- mended. Isaac Allen, of Mississippi, will supply the plant with sawdust at the rate of $20 a carload, delivered at Mississippi. From three to four car- loads a year are used. The manager has not yet engaged a new lineman, but hopes to have one from Montreal by Monday next. The position is one that requires a steady and reliable worker, and one of this type cannot be picked up at random. A bill of fifty dollars from the Water- works committee for filling the gas tank with water was passed. : CONCERNING THE ROADS. ---- City Engineer Doesn't Favor Con- crete Gutters. City Engineer Craig does not advo- cate the construction of concrete or asphalt gutters on limestone macadam roads. He says that they have not proven satisfactory elsewhere as they do not bind well with the macadam. The engineer prefers spending the money that it would require for them, in" constructing additional roads. The newly constructed roading on Montreal street between Princess and Queen, is a wonderful improvement on the old one. The road has been nar- rowed to forty-two feet, and concrete curbing run along cach side so that the drainage will be the best possible. This was one of the worst drained roads in the city and was always in bad condi tion. It required nearly three feet of stone to crown it properly. Two nice boulevards have been made by means of the curbing. > The ground is now beginning to feel the frost, and it is fortunate that the road construction on Montreal is nearly completed.

Godwin, as the presiding officer: Anngene Abramson, FERNIE FIRE. Appeal For Church of 3 England Sufferers By Fire. Toronto, Nov. 15--{ To the Editor) : May I to the members ui the church 3 England througheut Canada, on behalf of their fellow members in Fernie, B.C, who have lost theit homes | and their church in the recent disas- | trous fire. My appeal is for the re-plac- ing of the church and furniture, as this | must be done through outside assistance, | the unfortunate people having all they can 'do to rebuild their homes. ' The rector, Rev. R. 5S. Wilkinson, feels much discouraged at the isolation from the great body of sympathizers who would come to his relief if they could be reached. This is pre-eminently a case in which the strong are called to the relief of the weak. In the body if one member suffers all the members suffer with it. Mr. Wilkinson states the loss incurred by the church property: Value of church 0940 00 Furniture, etc, in church. 2,000 co Value of rectory 2, 13,740 00 Less insurance . 6,000 00 7.740 00 Mortgage on rectory and other debts $9,040 00 At the time of writing he had re- ceived $388. In making this appeal to all the diocese, my hope is that a very large number will gladly send small subscriptions. The total sum of $9,000 will meet all the necessities of the case and provide a building bf non-combus- tible materials. 'A cement basement with reinforced concrete floor is already be- ing proceeded with. A speedy and general response, ~even~m small sums, will extricate this suffering and helpless member of our dy out of all its spiritual distress. Edw. J. B. Pense, of Kingston, has kindly consented to act as treasurer for the Diocese of Ontario and will acknowledge contributions. Very faithfully yours, ARTHUR TOR- ONTO, Primate of All Canada. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. The Audience. Another very large audience was present at the Grand Opera House last evening to view John C. Green's mov- ing pictures, vaudeville and mystery show. Prof. C. Green gave a fine exhi- bition of slight of hand and magical tricks, introducing new feats which were never shown in the city before. His Japanese phantom screen is a puz- zle. The abundance of confetti, flowers and other articles drawn from its en- closure must have doubled its capacity. Prof. Trevallion, with his wonderful mechanical doll, La Moto Phroso, rivited the attention of the. audience, who could not conceive whether the doll was human, living or inanimate. It is very partial to the ladies with its grace- ful courtesy and is not at all bashful in extending the glad hand to them. The beautiful colored pictures were again placed on exhibition. Many new views were introduced, including the amateur barber, the troublesome fly and the circus clowns love. The professor gave brief descriptions with each view, which were very interesting. Burton C. Peters sang three pretty illustrated songs in fine voice and ex- pression, and he was repeatedly en- cored. To-night an entire change of programme will be given, including the magical tricks and the pictures. LATE MRS. PIPER.

Marshall--King- ston, He Says, is Progressive Enough For Its Size, and is Doing Well in Many Ways. "Elmhurst," Kingston, Nov. 17.-- (To the Editor): Your letter from "Business Man," about the Chateau Rideau has some remarks in it which {| 1 consider neither loyal nor wise, as coming from a man whom 1 take to | be a native of our beautifully situat- {ed city. Surely he doesn't imagine | that people do mot quite understand that it is not unselfishness that keeps hima and his business in Kingston, al- though he may have tempting offers to go elsewhere. If he will be honest with himself, he will admit that tak- ing everything into consideration, he believes ~ that life to him is more worth living' here than elsewhere, though in other places he might ac- quire more gold. Kingston may be a dull place for business, but surely there are higher things than business that a city should aim to excel in. ls the worl done in our great educgtiopal insti- tutions, Queen's Univershy. the Roy- al Military College and our fine public and other schools, not one hundred times more important than afl the mere money-making business that may be done in the city, even if its popu- lation was double what it is? It seems to me for its size Kingston does even a fair amount of business in its locomotive works, founaries, cotton mill, knitting mill, elevators, market and other industries, and if in some lines business is dull, that is because too many attempt torun a business of the same kind. But that is the fault of the business men them- selves, who persist in crowding into a place which is already full in their line of business It has for long been thing to me how lawyers there are in Kingston. But is the city therefore.to be blamed for ! not having more sickness and ) quarreling in the community ? What matters it though Kingston doesn't rapidly increase in population, if it retains its reputation of annually sending forth a host of highly educat- ed men and women, and men and wo- men of noble the world for good ? Talk of King- ston being ready for burial or of be- ing quarantined, the writer ought to be ashamed of himself. 1 have travel led over the whole of Canada, and there are very few places in this im- mense country where I would rather live than n Kingston, Ont., a city full of highly educated, intelligent, an amazing ple, a city with handsomer buildings and streets than any other 1 know of for its size in Canada, a city with all the advantages of mod- ern civilization, and where one can live the healthy, thoughtiul, simple life, with the greatest case and com- fort. As to having a fine hotel no one surely will object to such, as it will give rich outsiders the chance to vis- it with comfort our finely situated old historic city. But it is quite another matter to rob the citizens of the fin- est part of their public parks in order to do so, and besides quite unneces- | sary, for there are other sites quite | as suitable as Macdonald park for the | hotel. One site I know of would be | much 'better, viz., the spacious ground | between Albert and Collingwood | streets, fronted by King street, and about three furlongs west of Murneyd tower A landscape gardner could easily make this a magnificent loca- tion for the hotel.
