Baron Has Dropped Half Cent a Pound This Week----tLower Prices at Oswego, N.X.. But Not Likely for Kingston----Hard on the Deal ors, the reports in the Os- g wego, N.Y., papers, the price of meat § there has taken a good drop, and es a result; housewives are now smiling. Not much change bere, and not likely to be." This was the statement given to the Whig, by a local butche¥, last night, 'when asked sbout the prives. "Of course the price has lowered a trifle 'wince the high prices were on, some time ago, but the drop altogether has vot been much to speak of." 3 "Bacon took a drop of half « cent 'this week," he added, "and this led Ime to get in a stock." You can't tell thow the price is going to go, so when ithere is a drop it is better for you = to take advantage of it." fi The dealer said that the market at "present did not show any signs of a drop in price. So Kingston house { keepers, who have been under the im- ! pression that meat would soon get icheaper had better not depend on it. The price of meat made so many jumps in the past six months or so, Bl that it is a wellknown fact that seve = ral butchers were compelled to go out & of business. Dealers were hard hit, moll over the country, and Kingston did ml not escape. Two or three small deal i were compelled to = close up shop, on this account. They such a high price ft for their stock, that it was impossible ® for them to make it a paying busi- ness. lu the summer months, there is ® quite a falling off in the amount of and this, together im With the fact that prices have been so Wl high, was disastrous to dealers. In Kingston there are many families who cut down expenses by having meat on the bill-offare, but once or twice a week and with some, perhaps once a week, was the limit. Vege tables and fruits have taken the place of meat, It will be good news housekeepers, when a | | prices is announced, According to to the local drop in the LIST OF VISITATIONS Of Bishop of Ontario for September and October.

Death . of Dr. Wood, of Kingston, A despatch to the Whig from Ot- tawa says: -- "There is great regret expressed here at the death of Dr. Isaac Wood, the well-known physician, at Kinzston, There are few of the 300 or 400 form- or residents of the Limestone now call: in Ottawa their home, who had not heard of him, and in a great many cases he had, during the last eighteen years at sons time, attended efther them or members of their family. Ocevpying Ottawa pulpits are gradu ates of Queen's University, who were well acquainted with him. With large practices in the capital - are several doctors who sat under him when he lectured at Queen's. Not only in King: ston and vicinity, but throughout the province, he was widely known as 4 man w predominant trait was conscientiousness. It has Deen vears since any Kingston death has caused fo much regret here as that of Dr. { Wood." Over the DR.

Richard Garrat,.an Englishman, Mak- ing a Trig Here From Sarnia--He is Quite a Globe Trotter--Wants to Enlist Here. With Kingston as his point of destination Richard Wells Garrat, an English artilleryman is on 'a tramp of about 350 miles. It was expected that be would reach Kingston the end of this week. He is coming here for the purpove of enlisting in the aril tery. Garrat is a globe trotter of note, and that is the reason for his footing it to Kingston. He was mn Sarnia on Sunday last and left there in the evening on his long tramp. He reached London on Monday morning, sport the day there, and was a guest at' Wolseley Barracks over night. On Tuesday he started out on his tramp again and it is expected that he would stop at Toronto and several oiher places along the line, Garrat recently walked to Huron, Mich., frem a point hundred miles beyond Duluth. IN BASEBALL CIRCLES. some Port three The Railroaders Disappointed Grocers' Team. The Grocers were a very much dis appointed bunch of ball players when, after going out to the ericket field and waiting for three-quarters of an hour, yesterday afternoon, the , ops posing team failed to show up. When they went out to the field they did not know whether they would = play the Live Coals or Railroaders. They were scheduled to meet the Live Coals but the executive had decided that it was best to finish out the fame of the evening before with the ailroaders. After waiting there un til after six o'clock they came to the donelusion that the other team did not want a game very badly so they betook themselves to their suppers, ------ Mercantile Baseball Standing, Things are becomingm ixed up quite a lot in the Mercantile League just now, so much in fact that if they are not straightened oul very soon the last game may not take place on La- bor Day. Some of the other games will have to be laid aside. Group "A" is played off with Wormwiths as the winoers, with four games won and two lost. Printers and Retailers are the same = with three won and three lost, Posties were shut out at the last moment with two won and four lost. The mail-handlers looked bood in the begining of the season but, like. many another team, went went on the "bum" during the laiter part. Retailers started out in a half-hearted sort of manner but finish ed up well. In group "IB" the teams are very nearly even, Railroaders have a lend of "ome ple over the other teams, with three won, one lost and one to play. Live Coals two won, three lost and one to play; Grocers two won, two lost and two to play; Richardsons two won, three lost and one to play. Grocers look good for the first place in "this group. MH thay 'ean manage to defeat the Cosl-Eaters and the Railroaders in their next games they have the group anched. On the oth- er hand if the Railroaders win one game out of the next two they will Fe tied with the Provision men. It would be pretty hard to predict who will be the winner in this group yet. If the boys only hold to the form they have shown so far they should make it interesting for each other. the Saturday Baseball Over, Those who have been in the habit of journeying to the cricket field on a Saturday afternoon, to see the Cobbs, Wagners and Lajoies perform, will have to take a vacation until pext season. There will be no more base ball on the cricket field (his year un- less a practive game is pulled off, The fans have certainly enjoyed the class of ball that has been played all wea- son, and great credit is due to' the well-balanced organization of the City League. With such capable officers as bave had control of the affairs this year it is no wonder that things have gone on smoothly. At the head of this league are men who know baseball through and through,' who realize what this sport means to the people, and who do their best to give it to the people the way they like to have it. It is hoped by everyone interested in baseball that next season will be even better than the last one has been. May Get It By Default. It looks as though Grocers would get the game scheduled for last even: ing, by default. The Live Coals were scheduled to meet the Grocers unless they were notified (0 the contrary. They were not notified to that effect, and as their men did not show up they will have to lose the game. Hf the default holds good the Live Coals are out of it entively. "Jack" Stans bury's nine have certainly made things lively for the other teams, while they were in the ranming, and it seems too bad that they will have to lose the game without playing for it. No doubt the "hot" ones will think this a raw deal, but they chould have had their ten on the field ready to play at the fine appointed, and then they would have had a chance 10 add one more scalp to their belt.

After leav. ing Kingston, in the spring of 1904, he went to Montreal and thence pro. ceeded to New York, where he was for some time a reporter on the New York American. Then he got into an am: bezzlement scrape, and the New York police hunted for him in vain. Ever since, his whepeabouts have heen a mystery. Now, the Toronto police aie thorities think they have him. - It should not be very difficult to identify him. Pictures published in the < Tre ronto papers look much like him. PORTSMOUTH GARDEN PARTY.
