The ad- dress was a most interesting one, deal ing with missionary work in British Columbia. The speaker illustrated his talk with a large number of lantern slides, and 'these helped to make the ad- dress all the more interesting.

Sparling occupied the chair, and the opeving prayer was offer- ed by the Rev. T. E. lrke. Dr. White's ar is wrapped up in his work in the far west, and he has a way of telling his audience about the work, which is most pleasing. In giving a picture of Fernie, showing the ruins of the last big fire there, Dr. White took . occasion to refer to the noble work accomplished by Dr. Con- nelly, a. native of Cataraqui, who rendered valuable service in the hospitals at the time of the fire.

A collected {pleted a short term, in the county jail, on behalf of missions was taken up. for drunkenness, and in the police court, this 'morning, he was charged by license inspector Wright, with being under the influence of liquor, when on the * 'Indain" list. "It was just like this your worship," said Byron, when arraigned. "I had been out of work for some time, and felt somewhat discouraged. I had searched around the city for work, and could not get anything to do. I went to the Queen} street slip, and" there "1 found a man loading a small boat with provisions. - It was raining at the time, and the man, asked me to help him, and I did so." Byron assisted in putting away the provisions, but trouble came his way when the put away some good whiskey the' boat owner 'had 'purchdsed. ' The man, in part payment for his® work, offered' him" a 'drink out" of 'the "bottle, anid' he gould not résist the temptation. FOne drink was followed by angther, and still 'another, and by the time the boat 'was 'réady to clear," Bryon was '"'com- pletely 'knocked out," ashe admitted to the 'court. He remembered starting to go up Princess street, but that was all. "When he came to himself, he was in the police' station. ; "But 'I'm: done with 'all this now," added Byron. 1 was converted, throagh the help of the Salvation Army, and by the help of God, I am going to be a better citizen, and 1 'would ask that you give me a chance."

A" drunk was fined $1 and costs, and another was remanded a day. i 2 'INDIAN'! > Told Magistrate Why He Had Hard On Sleighing. The mild wether with last night's rain, was very bad on the sleighing, and to-day it was very poor, in some places. Business men are 'anxious for more snow, as they say that goods can be de- livered more promptly with the sleighs "We can do the work in one-third the time taken when the waggons are out," said one merchant to-day. The delivery men have no love for changing from the sleighs to the waggons, every few days, and they are always happy when the Ysleighing 1s good.

"tHE POPULAR ALDERMAN DECIDES 10 RUN " y and Thus Acedia to to the Request of Over a Thousand Ratepay- ers--The Successful Career of Ald. Couper. Ss At the uest of over a thousand ratepayers, who either signed -a peti- tion or waited personally upon him, Ald. Daniel Couper has consented to becomé a candidate for #e mayoral: ty. 'His -decision to enter the field practically meant that he will be may- or of Kingston for 1909. The people want him, and have given emphasis to this in no uncertain voice. Ald. Cou- per is a successful merchant and liked by all who come in contact with him. He has served four years in the city council as aldérman, and his stand on important civic questions has always heen for thé people. The poor man's interests have always received from him the most careful attention. Hence Ald. Couper has been a representative of all the people and not one class. Daniel Couper was horn in Kingston on Feb. 17th, 1863. His father was Scoteh and his mother Irish, so that he has a fine quality of blood flowing in his veins, He has resided in King- ston all his life, and is therefore, a thoroughbred Kingstonian. He was educated in the public schools here, and then enterea the grocery business as clerk with the late John Ward, in 1877. In 1886, he became a partner | with Mr. Ward, having shown himself to possess excellent business qualities, On Mr. Ward's death in 1892 Mr Couper bought out the whole grocery business, and has been sole proprietor | ever since, building up a fine trade. In religion, Mr. Couper is a Preshy- | terian, a member of Chalmers church, | dnd a soloist in the choir of that church, He is a leading member of the Royal Arcanum and of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. In politics Mr. Couper is a liberal. He was first elected as' member of the city council in 1904, as represen- tative for Frontenac - ward. For the the years 1906, 1907 and 1908, he bas served Rideau ward. The dargely signed petition present- ed to Ald. Couper was prefaced thus : Sir,--' 'We, the * undersigned electors of the City of Kingston, have watch- ed with great satisfaction your career as a municipal councillor. You have stood consistently and fearlessly - for the people' and their rights on all questions and > at" all times.
