Al a meeting of the civie Garbage and Refuse Committee on Friday af- ternoon, Inspector Timmerman re- ported that since his last report sub- mitted on Oct. 10th; there has been 'collected and taken to the incinera- 'tor 478 loads of garbage, making in all since September 20th, 773 loads, or 386 tons of garbage. To consume this amount of garbage there was used 11% cords of wood, which at $5 a cord averages 15e¢ a ton. There | was also consumed since September 20th, 164 loads.of rubbish. The Inspector has the gity divided into five sections, and collects the garbage twice a week at 3, 553 houses, and once a week at 1,7 houses, with three wagons on the south side and two on the side north of Princess street. One wagon is used for all military cook-houses, hospitals, restaurants, fruit stores, hotels, et« This makes six wagons in use. The last new iron wagon arrived from Brockville on October 29th, The system is now working satis- factorily. In the last eight days there were only six complaints. From September 20th til October 9th there were 477 complaints, and from October 10th till November 11th, 139. The engineer did away with the service of the night firemaggon Oe- tober 12th, and one of the helpers worked on Sundays since November i§! 1st to burn the garbage and clean {out the incinerator in order to have the same ready for Monday morn- ling. He was obliged on Friday to! put the night fireman on-again owing to the large quantity of garbage to collect from the military cook-houses since the soldiers haye been stationed in the city, Inspector Timmerman asked the | committee not to allow any person outside the city's own collectors to i} collect garbage from any part of the if | city for the feeding of pigs. Or. An- derson, Government Garbage Inspec- tor, who was in the city two weeks |ago, gave him strict warning not to allow outsiders to collect garbage. The Inspector also asked the com- mittee to furnish the teamsters, help- iers and himself with some kind of | uniform. He also asked for a stove for the incinerator, as there is no i} | heat on the ground floor. | The sanitary conditions at the in|' cinerator are of the best. The In- spector stated that the concreted {yard was kept clean enough for a picnic party to use for a meal. The committee decided to accede to the requests made by the Inspec- tor, who will be given $60 a year for {his own uniform, while khaki uni- form will be provided for each driv- er, so that the people may be able to | identity the men entitled to collect | garbage. No one but city employees will be permitted to collect garbage from any place in Kingston. The committee {decided that all garbage must go to | the incinerator.

When the Itala Film Company of Turin, Italy, were casting Gabriele D'Annunzio's scenario masterpiece "Cabiria," they were balked for some time in filling the character of Maci- ste, a Numidian slave. According to the scenario, Maciste was tg be a man of unusual size and strength and when no man could be found who suited D'Annunzio the directors tried to prevail on him to be content with a smaller man. but they were unsuccessful, D'Annunzio insisted upon a Goliath. A short time later, D'Annunzio, while strolling through the shipping districts, was attracted by a crowd of people who were evidently very | much interested in the unloading: of | a ship. Approaching, he saw the ob- Jeet of their interest; a huge man was casting hogsheads about as though they were mere paving! blo¢ks. One look was sufficient to convince him that here was the ob- ject of their search; a man with the qualifications for the part of Maciste. He was immediately engaged, but the hardest task was still to come,' for it required several months of! coaching to teach him to walk cor- [| rectly and the necessity of gestures to make one's sell understood in mo- | tion picture photography. "Cabiria" will be exhibited for the first time in this city at the Griffin} Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 15th, 16th and 17th with a special orchestra under the direction of Prof. Millner. ° Knights of Columbus Event. | Geen and Mr. Barrett, and consola- tion prizes to Miss Queenie Williams and Lieut.
