Why Manager Folger is Changing f Direct Current to Alternating. Informal discussion by a number of retail merchants assembled in the Board of Trade rooms, on Thursday evening,: threw the searchlight on many of the things in which they are interested, and which will bt taken up at the adjourned annual meeting next Tuesday evening. For ome thing they. will follow to elect a com- viosely the pr mission to conduct the business of the civic utilities. It was intimated by one Princess street merchant that of man who would be sure to be in the running for this board had to be giv- en '"'a staggerer." His attitude on more than one occasion has, in a sense, '"'riled" some of the merchants. Of course, the kind of pavement to be laid on Princess and King stroets next year is to be di $ of the retalers are somewhat annoyed over a change which has heen mad. in the electric current, entailing, in many cases, considerable expense to the merchants, C. C. Folger, the manager of utili- ties, will be asked to be present and ive an explanation of the change rom the direct to the alternating cur- rent on Princess street, which has ne cessitated citizens changing motors. One reason given for this is that the department is preparing for the Hy- ro. The question was asked whether the retailers were going to put candi- dates in the field for aldermanic hon- ors for next year's council, and a tri- bute was paid to Ald. T. F. Harri som.

In Comfocation Halk on Thursday In a clever and brilliant debate, marked throughout with keen logic and clear, definite conclusions, Var- sity debating team defeated that of Queen's in Convocation hall en Thursday evening, before a large audience. The subject of discussion was: "Resolved, that at her present stage of development, the churches of Canada should devote their ef- forts wholly to the home field." Messrs. M. Smith and L. Smith, cousins, represented Varsity, in the negative; and Messrs. W. T. McRee and J. McNab upheld the honors of Queen's in the affirmative. The speakers were introduced by E. Watts, president of the Alma Mater Society. The first speaker, M. McRee point- ed out that there was sufficient work in Canada to employ the church missionaries and that the ria: in- lux of immigrants, many of whom were from heathen countries, would in his opini..-, justify the churches 'n devoting their mission work en- Yirely to Canada. M. Smith, of Varsity, followed, and applied himself to contradicting his opponent's contentions. He also claimed that it would be practically imposisble to recall the missionar- ies from China, Japan, and other countries, where vice was rampant J. McNab, of Queen's, contended, among other things, that the mis- sionaries and money, employed in, and spent on, foreign missions could be used to greater advantage among the Esquimeaux and Indians of this country and in the mining, lumber and railroad camps. L. Smith, of Varsity, was the next and 'the most effective speaker of the evening. In a graphic manner, he described the crying meed of mission work in foreign countries. Each speaker was allowed twenty minutes and the affirmative speak- ers, five minutes extra to reply. - After a lengthy deliberation, the judges, J. M. Farrell, Judge Dé rosiers and LAC3. T NH. Waud warded the decision to Varsity. HARD ON THE FIREMEN ANOTHER RALSE ALARM GIVEN ON THURSDAY NIGHT. Second Run in One Week to the Same Dist Police Should Be Ask s ed wo Tod nto the Matter Some person in Kingston, has a mania for sending in false alarms to the firemen. Thursday night, at 11.57 o'clock, the firemen received the tug Frontenac from Por's.iouth to Garden Island on Friday. where the smoke stack was lifted out, pre- paratory to the changing of her bo'l- ers at the Shipyard wharves. The steamer Sarnor was at Swift's on Friday morning on her*w&y from Montreal to Cleveland. MISS MACHAR'S VIEWS, She Writes on Suffrage Tssue in Mon- treal Herald. "I certainly do recognize in the gradual enfranchisement of women --which is a marked feature of our age--an important step in the evo- lution of society. We can easily see in the gradual evolution of hu- man society in the past, the causes responsible for the long-existing disabilities and subordination of wo- manhood, and there is no doubt that this condition has often 1 to tyranny on the one hand and Eure ing from oppression on the other, neither of these being conducive to the development of moble manhood or womanhood. Now, however, a more comprehensive and a truer ideal of freedom is abroad, and in country aftéer country, even in those we have considered the least pro- gressivé,--such as China and Tur- key---women are more and more making good their claim to stand side by side with men as true part- mers in all that concerns the good of the state and the community, which is essential to the good of the home itself."

Parker, Cape Vincent, N.Y., a call from bax Nb. 4, situated at the corner of © Bay and Rideau streets, the neafest box to that at the hay market, which was pulled on Monday evening. . The firefighters hurried to the | scene, only to find that they had again been the wictim of a practical joker. It is high time that the fire committee took the matter up with the police authorities, and an effort made to catch the guilty party or parties. The firemen have had a half dozen or more false alarms in this same district, in less than two months, and it is indeed a pity that the offender is allowed to go at large When the firemen reached the cor- ner of Bay and Rideau streets, Thursday night, there was no sign of a fire any place, and they en- deavored to get some information as to who pulled the box, but it was not forthcoming: One man told the firemen that it was just a false alarm, and that they could go back to the station. He had nothing to say as to the sending ' in of the alarm. , In view of the many false alarms which have been sent in to the fire- men, the suggestion is made that the department be provided with new alarm 'boxes, and that they be so constructed that when a person sends in an alarm, his hond will be held in the box for at least five minutes, and there will be no chance of him getting away. It is quite a serious matter, as every time the firomen are called out there is dan- ger of some accident to either the men, horses or equipment. Tt is thought that the same van- ten dals who have been destroying pro- perty at the vinegar works are the fire alarm offenders. a s-------- Little Disclosed. The- inquest at Cape Vincent, N.
