The above resolution was passed at an enthusiastic meeting of Kingston wo- men, held in the city council chamber, on Thursday afternoon. It was further resolved, to petition the council at its session, on Monday night next, to take action, and a large delegation will wait upon the city, fathers, 'and present their case to them. A committee was also appointed to wait upon the aldermen betore the council meeting, so as to arouse interest in the matter... Miss Alice Chown was chairman of the meet- ing, and Mrs. Snelling was appointed secretary. The attendance was quite large, considering the inclement weather. That Kingston is in need of a practi- cal system of garbage, was the unani- mous opinion of the meeting, and the whole question was discussed at some length. In opening, Miss Chown exnlained the reason for calling the meeting. She re- ferred to the system of garbage carried out in other cities, and stated that Kingston was sadly in need of a proper system. It was the duty of the ladies to arouse public opinion on the ques- tion, and also to arouse the city coun- cil to take action. Dr. Connell, who was asked to give his views on the important question, said that garbage allowed to remam around the yards, was dangerous to public health, and advocated a syste- matic collection of garbage. There were important reasons why one should get rid of the house waste. One great evil was that of flies YA eling in the house waste, and getting into the" house; sometimes an epidemic was traced to this. House waste, if allowed to ac- cumulate would also attract rats, which were not very good neighbors, and also all the dogs and cats in the aeighbor- hood wn Dr. Connell gave it as his opinion, that garbage should be collected three times a week at least, with far Better satisfaction if it were removed every day. In the cold weather it would probably not be necessary to have the garbage collected so often. It was im- portant that the city council should adopt some system, which would serve for the rich and poor alike, and thus remove the menace to public health. Dean Farthing was present, upon in- Vitation, and also spoke briefly, on the atter. The question of cleanliness, he l, was a most important one, and ad be given every attention. In the city, at the present time, it was very difficult to get a scavenger to do the work required. In going around the city, one could find many cases, where there was work for the scavenger. In allowing garbage to accumulate, it was not 8 penace to health, but was also iE Some were so careless in the matter, that it was not only dan- gerous for themselves, but to others as well. One was impressed with the neatness of other places, and the speaker was of the opinion that there should be a combined effort, not only a goed garbage system, but also for a general cleaning up of the yards, in the city. A most important question to be taken up, was that of the keeping of pigs and chickens, within the city limits. The speaker had not made a special study of the question of garbage, but was present to show his sympathy in the movement, and to show his will ingness to co-operate with any steps which might be taken, to bring about the change desired. It was a pity to have the city marred through neglect in such small matters. Miss Chown announcé@l that the meet- ing was open for discussion, and sug- gestions, and several of the ladies gave their views on the_situation. One of the ladies present, I arrival from the old country, stated | that when she found out the state of affairs in the city, as regards the gar- bage, she was almost afraid to take up housekeeping here. She was in constant fear of her children becoming ill. She believed that the public should be pro- tected Another lady confessed that she was "shocked," as She termed it, when she found out the state of affairs. Others referred to systems in vogue in Mont- real and Ottawa a recemt Miss Chown said that no doubt if ! the whole question was gone into fully, I AEA AAAI, Ee --=3 THE * : * | rection these days. ® "BACK TO SOIL" There is a decided movement in that di- That the man who owns a few acres of fertile ground is about the most inde- denying. and city strife do rot If you want to get etc; just outside city McCann, POOP 0000090900009000/ PEE OV0 dependent man in the world there is no - Business depressions, strikes trouble him.

There was mo doubt bat that a great deal of sickmess could be traced to uncleanliness. At this stage, it was pi sed that a + esrlution be drawn up, which would be presented to the council, at its ses. sion on Monday night, and the resolu- tion, already referred to, was moved b; Mrs. R. I Hooper, seconded by Mrs. E. J. McLellan, and carried by an un- animous vote. It was also agreed to have the resolu- tion printed, and signed bv as many 0 the householders as possible, for pre- sentation to the city council, also that the resolution be forwarded to the Board of Trade and the Board of Health, for the endorsation of these bodies. The question of how it would be pos- sible to secure the aldermen to take in- terest in the matter, then arose. aldermen will know that if they want big: women to vote for them, they will have to give this matter some con- sideration," said one lady, with a smile. It was agreed that as large a deputa- tion as possible of the women, wait upon the council, and present the peti- tion, and it was further agreed that the aldermen should be "button-holed" on the question, as it were, and a commit- tee was appointed to work upon all the members of council, in the endeavor -to have them interested in the all impor- tant question. A press committee was appointed, composed of Mrs. Hooper, Miss Chow, Mrs. Snelling, Mrs. McPherson, Mrs. Massie and Mrs. McLellan. LARGE CROWDS ATTEND. The Vaudeville and Mystery Show at The Grand. Another very large audience was present at the Grand Opera House last evening to witness the Green's vaude- ville. Mr. Green gave a fine exhibition of magical work, doing many of his tricks with a dexterity that was sur- prising. Trevallion with his wonderful me- chanical doll, La Moto Phroso, caused a startling sensation, especially when Phroso advanced to the front of the stage raised his hat and made a meat little speech, thanking the audience for their appreciation of him and promising to explain the mystery in connection with him to-night. There are two La Moto Phrosos, but even at that there is mystery. When is the change made? The illustrated pictures: presented were beautiful, especially the scenes in the Emerald Isles, and the airship Re- public leaving the earth for a sail in the air and a trip fo the clouds. Bur- ton C. Peters, with his illustrated songs won deserved encores. To-nicht the programme will be en- tirely changed. Many new novelties will be introduced, as well as new pic- tures and songs.

Vaccination in Manila swept away smallpox after the United Staters took possession of the Philippines. The death rate was 6,000 smallpox patients a year; after vaccination was introduced not a death. was reported. Not a life, a leg or an arm was lost to anyone. "It-1s a matter of grim humor," says Dr. V. G. Hesier, "that the only people who | die of smallpox in the Philippines to- day are the Americans who refuse to be vaccinated. . At the worst all the others contract in the most dangerous part of the season is varioloid and even that they have half-heartedly." Vaccina- tion is imperative in the islands, Gave Excellent Address. Mr. Gordon, student at Queen's, and vice-president of the Canadian organi- zation of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, addressed the the Young Men's League, in the First Baptist church, last evening. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered him for his excellent address. Had A Bad Fall. A young lady, clerk in a Princess street store, received a severe fall on Thursday, near the corner of Princess and Sydenham streets. She slippea on the wet pavement and fell heavily to the greund.

Out From 'O'Rill Street and Fill in Unsanitary Bay--William Street Cribwork Does Not Be- long to the G.T.R. Company. The Board of Works committee had a session yesterday afternoon, Alder- men Graham (chairman), Henderson, Mean and Givens were present. City Solicitor Mcintyre reported as to the right of the city to insist upon the Grand Trunk railway company" putting the cribwork at the foot of Wil- liam street in regard to the spot in question being dangerous. The solicitor wrote that he could find nothing requir- ing the company to maintain the crib- work. The old Locomotive Works company was required to erect and maintain a culvert for the sewer pass- ing through there. The solicitor asked the Board of Works for further in- structions. The G.T.R. company had repudiated all responsibility in connec- tion with the matter. Ald. Henderson moved that the solicitor be requested to write the Lo- comotive Works company to repair the cribwork. This motion was adopted. If the Locomotive company disclaims proprietory rights, then it will be up to the city to make the necessary repairs. Permission was given Mrs. Brophy, 59 Wellington street, to re-erect a portico on the ground occupied by the present one. This matter comes under a recent resolution of the council. City Engineer Craig reported that Capt, William Lesslie had completed the O'Kill street sewer, and stated that the Captain deserved great credit for the work which was done under: great difficulties. Capt. Lesslie, he under- stood, had some; timber, hemlock and spruce, over from his contract, that he would probably sell to the city very cheap, viz, $16 a thousand feet. The engineer said that the timber would be suitable for cribwork facing, 100 feet of which he recommended to be built out from Macdonald park at the foot of O'Kill street, and street scrapings be used to fill in the small shallow 'bay be- hind it. The bay in question was very unsanitary still, on account of filth lying in it. I filled in, it would improve the sanitary conditions and also add ground to Macdonald park. The board will consider the matter later. The engineer reported on the Mat- thews' property difficulty near the corn- er of Division and Russell street. It will be remembered that there is 3 waterway through this property, and sewage overflows gn the land. Miss Matthews asked. that the city abate the nuisance. This can only be done prop- erly by constructing a costly sewer. The city solicitor reported that the sewer could be built and charged to the prop- erty owners benefiting. Such a sewer might. cost nearly $10,000. On motion of "Atd: McCann, the matter was re- ferred to. the Board of Health for ac- tion. That board has the power to recommend the sewer on sanitary grounds. Then it wili come back to phe Board of Works. The long-neglected question of the North street sewer outlet and that of the extension of same street to the water's edge will be considered at the next niecting. Injured By Lad"s Trick. On Thursday night an elderly wo- man received a bad fall on Division street, near Queen, due to the act of some small boys. The lads had a stout string tied across the street and when the old lady came to it she was thrown headlong to the street. Luckily she was i not very severely injured, and with the aid of some friends was able to walk home. -- Avoid Biliousness.
