The entertainment was produced under the auspiccs of the Daughters of the! Empire, to raise funds for a most no table cause, the fighting of tubercu- losis, the worst disease known to man- kind. The people certainly responded well to the call made, but it cannot be denied by those who wiinessed the performance that they received more than they gave.

City solicitor wrote regarding the Kingston Junction subway. He stat- ed that" he had had a consultation with W. F. Nickle, solicitor for the county of Frontenac, and he thought that even under the amendment to the railway act being passed, this session, and providing for the appropriation of $200,000 for the protection of level crossings, that the board of railway commissions might still hold Kingston and Frontenac not entitled to share in that fund, in respect of the cost of the Kingston Junction subway. While he was still of the opinion that the city and county should share in this fund, the solicitor said that in view of the very arbitrary powers vested in the board of railway eomuissopers in distributing this fund, he had written Mr. Harty, setting out the difficulties, and suggesting some amendments to meet them, The solicitor added that he had re- ceived a letter from Mr. Harty, which he 'enclosed; for the council. By this letter it could be seen that Hon. Mr. Harty agreed with him, but that now the whole matter rested with the rail- commission. D.

Montreal Standard. All who during the past twenty years have' had anything to do with the House of Comimons as member, press- man or visitor, has met Lieut-Col. Henry R. Smith, Sergeant-at-arms; and the man who has not found him cour- teous, attentive and well gualified for his position is yet to be heard from A man equally well fitted for the pos tion is not within sight. Perhaps, like poets, sergeants-at-arms are not made, not even developed; they are born. nd so it comes to pass that when it is shown that the sergeant-at-arms has a grievance everybody is interested and sympathetic. It was Lieut.-Col. Smith who gave publicity to the grievance. He bore 1t in silence, and the silence was broken only the other day by Mr Foster when the salaries of the officials of the house were under consideration. It is thirty-seven years now since Lieut.- Col. Smith began to serve his country as an officer of the House of Com- mons. He was appointed deputy ser geant-at-arms in 1872, becoming full- nledged twenty years later, since when he has borne the mace and been the guardian of the safety, and dignity of the house. But it is a long time since he received increase of salary, al- though during his long term of office other officials have come into the ser- vice, and their salaries have steadily in- creased until they are more than that f the sergeant-at-arms<one case in particular, and one that was cited by Mr. Foster, being that of the assistan clerk, who was appointed in 1896. Ac cording to the books, the sergeant-at- arms is paid $3,300 a year, but of that sum only $2,500 are paid in real money that a man can take into a store or deposit in a bank. The other eight hundred neither he nor anybody else ever sees, for it is the assumed annual value of the small apartment in the parliament building--and in the bases ment at that--which he occupies during he session. On the books the salary of $3,300 looks fairly large, so large that the house has neglected to increase it, but out of that the house compels him to pay $800 for rooms to live in during four or five months each year. But could not the rental be reduced? Mr. Pugsley thought not, because "the apartment's were fairly worth $800 a year. Mr. Foster pointed housekeeper, Mr. Dube, a subordinate of the sergednt-at-arms, occupies eight rooms in the house, adjoining Lieut.- Col. Smith's apartments, but no deduc- tion from his salary is made-on tha account. "I do not know," said Mr. Foster, "why any official of this house should have eight rooms at his dis- posal." . Perhaps no one else does, ex- cept perhaps Mr. Dube himself. It was pointed out that Mr. Dube's rooms were darkened, and, further, that he had to tise the same entrance as the sergeant-at-arms, to which it was re plied that the sergeamt-at-arms had to use the same entrance as Mr. Dube It was as inconvenient for one as the other. It was suggested that the ser- geant-at-arms. could surrender his apartments, reside outside the building, and then draw his full salary, but Mr Maclean raised an objection. The ser- geant-at-arms is the jailer of parlia- ment. He could not be custodian of the tower if he were away from the building. "Could not men's be reduced?" caster. "Not at this time, minister. And there the matter rested. Col. Smith's grievance stands. an out that the the Mr. the rental on asked apart- Lan- replied the prime Lieut. TO BEAUTIFY ST. MARY'S. The Interior Will Be Entirely Re- novated. On Sunday last the rector announced St. Mary's cathedral congregation the Archbishop's intention to renovate she interior of the cathedral. Already generous donations have been given for this purpose. A personal friend of his grace has left a bequest of $10,000 for the erection of a marble altar to re- place the main altar which is now 5 wood. The contract jor this altar wi be awarded in a few days. Another in- timate friend of the archbishop, who has already generously paid for the concrete walks around the cathedral and palace has kindly consented to have the electric light system, with up-to- daté fixtures, placed in the cathedral at his expense. In view of these gener- ous donations, which have heen given by persons outside of the dibcese; the congregation must now undertake the decorating of the interier in keeping with the other improvements. Differ- ent artists have been visiting the cathe- dral, submitting designs and estimates for the proposed work, and it is ex- pected that in the course of two weeks the contract for the decorating will be to Accidents are often caused by weak ankles and weak eyes.
