Probably the Duke of Connaught is coming back to Kingston to in- spect the new beating in the town .bulldings. When H.R.H. was here ! 4 a year ago, Ex-Mayor Rigney and the town clerk covered up the old wood box stoves in the hall with union Jacks and screens, and prayed that} the duke would not look too closely and discover the deception. Now that the buildings boast of a fine heating stem, and since the por- traits of Ireland, two buchelor ex-town offici- als, bang on the historic walls, the royal governor may wish to see the improvements and adornments. The latest in Kingston moving pic- ture shows is for excited people to applaud the actors in the movies. The other night the Lampman saw a fat girl spanking her hands vigorous- ly when the female principal in a picture did something that was real human. Others caught the applaud- ing fever, and looked sheepish when those around them gave them the laugh. However, if there is to be laughter in expressing one's emotion at funny pictures, why not hand- clapping to express other emotions, the Lampman asks? The Lampman is told that the W.CT.U. wants to know if police- men, postogen and soldiers are allow- ed to smoke on the street when on duty. A member of this organiza- tion stood on a downtown corner, and saw a postman, a policeman, a soldier and a hoy pass along, smok- ing. Naturally the good lady" was shocked.' His worship the mayor evidently believes in doing to all things use- less as was dene to the fig tree of bible story. The unprofitable tree was cut down, and his worship's ach- ing tooth was pulled out. . Carrying a walking stiek ie again | 13) becoming popular with Kingston ladies, as the Lampman notices a number of the fair sex carrying a cane, which would be a very handy weapoti for girls who parade the streets at night, and are annoyed by "Johnnies," The Lampman would rather see a 'woman carrying a walk- ing stick than leading a pup by a chain, -- A property owner who was cryin out for material to fill in his quarry- like lot, received more than he bar- gained for, the Lampman hears. It seems that the clean-up days brought to his land-holding all kinds of tin cans, old bed ticks and the like. This was like asking for bread and get- ting a stone. Still another religious sect has been annexed by Kingston, namely, the Apostolic. If it can improve the moral and "social conditions of this old town, it is very welcome, and if it can heal divers manners of dis- cases that the town's physicians have been undble to cure, the arms of the people should be open wide to the belief that can do miracles. "No talkee and no smokee" is the rule of the paving contractors who are doing work in Kingston. The old clay pipe Is debarred from. the.exca- _vation work that is proceeding' on Princess street, and the foremen in charge do not countenance little chats among the workmen every five minutes. The men toiling on the un- derground work are certainly earn- ing thelr dally wage, the Lampman remar) The Lampnian is told that in a nald Mcintyre and Frank' Kingston dance wall they ave a per- formance that has the tango beaten a mile. It is called "the dip," and the couples have te squat in a very undignified manner to go through the evolutions, which shock the more sensitive .of the young ladies, who re- fuse to perform them. 6 Kingston's censor (if there be a guardian of the town's so~lal morals) should put on his spectacles and witness "the dip." Members of the Woman's club say it is not proper for ladies to carry purses on the Sabbath. The Lanip- man thinks that when the ladies go to. church it is quite right to be accompanied by their purses, and church managers would excuse the noise occasioned by the opening of the purses at offertory time. ~THE TOWN WATCHMAN. | PLPePeePee a » * Continued from page 3.
