T. R. and the general traffic ing also heard an important discus sion on the power question, whicl' threw some light on the local sit- uation. The letter from the assistant traf- fic manager of the G. T. R. stated jthat the request of the board for jadditional train service into Kingston i wha belns considered with the object of arri¥ing at a conclusion that would improve the service on the main line when the railway changes its time table mext spring or early fext summer. The general traffic manager of the C. N. R. wrote that the delays on the Bay of Quinte train running into Kingston were due to improvements now under way on the road botween Napanee and Harrowsmith. He pro- 'mised to facilitate the movement of this train into the city so that it may | be placed on tha track nearest to platform at all times. The meeting approved the action of the railway commjifice in having opposed the incr vm railway cart- age charges before the railway com- mission at Ottawa. { With regard to the improvement o' jie mei] delivery in tha city, the Tpresident, Dr. Edward Ryan, said that he had brought ghe matter t the notice of the postmasier and had also seen W. F. Nickl:, M. P.,, who stated that he would take up the matter and endeavor to obtain ear- | tier delivery of the morning mail. He would also eee to having additiona' carriers appointed if necesaary. The president also reported on the tive with the Uivie Utilities committe regarding the power question. He stat od that the present income of the city from the electric light plant is $50 000 a year. It would cost 375,000 to bring 3,000 horse power from outsids making an additional expense of %25.- 000 a year to the city D. ti. Laidlaw spoke on this subject and said he thought the extra $25,000 burden on the city was too great un leds contracts could be made for the sale of all the power obtained J. M. Campbell explained to -the meeting that while the plant has a gross income of ¥50.000 per annum, the saving in expenses made by using hydro power and shutting down "the present steam plant would be about 15,000 u vear, leaving only 360,000 worth oi power to be disposed of. The report of the marine committe was read to the board by Francis King, who said that the harbor im provement and building of the break water were now assured; that a con tract was already signed for the build: ing of the temporary bridge and the work was under way It was moved hy Francis King, se vonded hy Cornelius Birmingham, and resolved : "That the Kingston Board of Trade has learned with a great deal of pleasure of the appointment of one of its members to the important office of chairman of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board. Donald M. Mc- Intyre, K.C., is pre-eminently fitted or the duties he will be called upon ' 'J to fulfil. His keen intellect, and tech: nical skill. combined with the wealth of legal knowledge and valuable ex- perience which he has acquired in years of active practive, should insure satisfactory 'solution of the problems which will come before him, while at the same time a wide reading, an exceptional knowledge of affairs and a genial dignity of manner will make practice in his court a pleasure to both suitor and counsel. This board deeply regrets Mr. Mclntyre"s removal from the: city, but will follow him in the sphere of his new duties with sincere wishes for his prosperity and success." GEMS OF ART.

He is reputed to ba the most autocratic ruler in Eu- rope, for virtually the feudal sys tem prevails in Bulgaria, and the monarch is rocoghized as. owner of the soil. That King Ferdinand has not abus- ed his power is evident from his rec- ord. He has extended the railway system in a very enlightenzd man- ner, and has adapted his principal ports to modern shipping, thus dpen- ing up-the commerce of -hiz country. Moreover, he has reorganized the| Bulgarian army | King Ferdinand is a grandson of time his sole object in life has baen to increase the power and indepen- dence of of the country over which fe rules, Heo has been married twice and possesses a family of two son and two daughters. . The union with the second wile, who was. the Prin cess Eleanor of Reuss Kostrich, was in the nature of 4 romance. Wh:n the pair were young there was some talk of a union between them, but aegotiations fell through, The prin- £288 remained single, and when King Ferdinand found himself widower his thoughts turned to the woman who had attracted bym in ho youth. They were married four years ago, both being well on the way to fifty. The country over which King For dinand exercises sway has a 'total population rather less than that of ireland, though it slightly exceeds the latter country in area. The Za- druga, or house-community, is still popular in Bulgaria, and is ruled by a2 house-father and house-mother, who organize the work and lay down the law.as was the custom with primitive communities. Peasant pro. prietorship is universal throughou the country, and only the monas- terics and ome or two individual! Wn jarge estates. The peasants are extremely conservative in their meth- ods of agrienlture, and oxen and buffalcos are generally used for draught purposes. Military service is pulsory, though Moslems are permjtted to buy themselves off if they/so wish.
