Lady Aitken, after spending the OPPOSES APARTMENTS, REV, J. D. BOYD DOES NOT FAVOR THEM, He Thinks That Substantial Houses, No Matter How Small, Should Be Erected in Preference. Kingston, Feb. 25.--(To the Edi- tor)--You have in the past through your columns suggested many useful reforms in our city, and I am, there- fore, the more unwilling, in this brief note, to differ from you as to your estimate and need of apartment houses in Kingston. Our city is evi- dently at "the parting of the ways," lend I think we may feel assured now that the rapid development that has began, shall continue for many years to come. Then, would it not AUSTRIAN PREMIER REASSURES | Good Ground for Hoping Relaxa. 4 tion of Present Tension. . Vienpa, Austria, Feb. 26.--A reassur-'| ing statement on the European situa- tion was made by the Austrian pre- mier, Count Earl Stuergkh, to a depu- tation of members of the Austrian par- liament. He said : "There is good ground for the hope ' : that at no distant date a al re laxation of the presemt political ten- | sion will set in." i This is taken here as a confirmation of' the announcement that Russia has agreed to the Austrian contention that Scutari must remain part of Albania. It ie anticipated that orders will be given shortly for the disbandment of large bodies of Austro-Hungarian re! servists now in Galacia near the Rus- | sian frontier, Bulgarians W.udraw. be well for us at this juncture, to have substantial houses, that would be real homes to the incoming peo- New York, Feb. 26.--A Belgrade ca ble says : A despatch eeceived here to- | day, said that the Bulgarians at Tcha- | talja had been forced to withdraw to the westward because the impassable condition of the roads made it impos- | sible to obtain supplies for the Teh- | atalja campaign. Now, of all the types of houses built even in the. large cities, "the apartment" 'is one of the poorest, and its only seeming excuse is the price of land, and the bringing of the people nearer their work. This kind of house has brought to the largest cities of Europe and the United States one of their sorest problems, in the making of true and wholesome citigens. 1 know, also, that this type of house is fast intro- ducing a difficult situation in Mont: real and Winnipeg, and even in Tor- onto. y Now, Mr. Editor, we have not even the excuses these cities might have, for our land is cheap and the dis- tance from any centre never great. Let us by all means have single or detached houses with some. élbow room, that are built ander inspector- ship of the city. These would make real homes. no matter how small, if built of good material and thorough- ly sanitary.--J. D. BOYD, SORE DISASTERS, Reynoldston Reports.

Prince Rupert, B.C., Feb. 26. -- Of three prospectors who started a month ago from Atlin, a placer camp on the Yukon line, in search of gold, one nearly starved to death, one lost both feet and one became insane from cold and died, it is r ted in advices re- ceived to-day. The men headed for Silver Creek. They had to break their own trail and traveled light, expecting to replenish their stores at a trading post. near Jeshn . 'The trading post was found aban-}! doned. One man, senl back for more! supplies, lost his way and was rescued by Indians when nearly dead. The mind of one of the two remaining, a Swede named Lindemann, became af fected and in his desire for warmth, he jumped into a camp fire, Red mond, his companion, pulled him out, but he died. Redmond buried Linde- mann in the snow and turned the dogs loose, following them wherever they went. They finally led him to an In- dian camp and Indians, took him to Atlin, where both his feet were ampu- tated. Grapefruit is in Great Demand.
