) on on Mo afternoon that he bad to go slow with regard to extensions this year owing to the difficulty of getting laborers, Chairman Rigney wanted to know if the manager would be able to keep pace with thé road paving that was planned, "Frontenac street is practically ready for paving, all the way from Union to Princess street," Mr, Fol- ger replied. "What about University avenue?" 'Mayor Richardson asked, "Not very good," responded the manager, who remarked that on Sat- urday he had twelve Roumanians at Belleville engaged but some one got hold of them before he could get them down to Kingston, . The manager asked for power to buy a car of ofl when needed, in the open market, as this was more satis- factory at present, The request was granted. When the purchase of lead was mentioned, the chairman suggested that Commissioner Elliott should be consulted for expert advice, "That sounds something like, 'see Allison"," Mr. Elliott remarked. "Well, we'll make it 'see Elliott," replied the chairman. Barviefield Camp Lights, Manager Folger stated that ae- cording to estimates of the Engi- neering officers 'it wonld cost around $15,000 to buy the materials necessary to Mght Barriefield Camp. Mayor Richardson said that ap- parently more had been included in this estimate than the City Council end asian mn mn material-fof the main roadways of the 2amp, not to light the whole camp. The supplies would have to be checked over again, to comply 'with the request made some time ago by. Major Burritt. The Council did not propose to expend $165,000 in lighting the camp, but wounid do what it had promised and what was asked by the militia authorities, e------ Power Rates, Mr. Monk, of the firm of Roddy and Monk, stone crushers, asked the Commission to include that firm's power consumption at its various quarries all in one bill so that it could secure the advantage of a low- er rate. The request will be grant- ed Commissioner Elliott stated that he hoped the Commission would soon have the long-look Apeeting to discuss the whole question of rates. "You can depend it,' sald Commissioner Chowan Mr. Monk, "that there will be a good-sized re- duction in power rates shortly." The Commission ' discussed Mts financial-relation with the city, and the advantage the city took of the balances in the bank at the credit of the gas, electric and water depart- ments, The city got a 5% per cent. benefit while the Commission was credited with only three . per cent, This matter and other gques- tions affecting the Commission and Couneil it was announced would be discussed at a joint conference, These accounts were passed: Gas and Electric.

Reading about Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills led me to use them, and with the; most highly satisfactory results, and I can recommend them to everyone who wants to be cured of kidney troubles." Mr. W.

NAPANEE FARMER FELL FROM HAY LOFT AND WAS BAD- a LY INJURED. Lightning Caused Burning of Barn on Newburgh Road--Lieut.-Col, Low Asks Napanee Council To Help In Recruiting 146th, {From Our Own Correspondent). Napanee, May 16.--Richard Hayes, | South Napanee, met with an unfor- tupate accident on Saturday. He wis getting some hay out of the loft in his barn, and fell to the ground, 1a distance of about ten feet, alight- {ing on his head and shoulder, and receiving a severe shaking, also a bad: fracture of a rib near the spinal column. A peculiar accident occurred Sun- day evening, when an automobile go- {ing along Dundas street picked up a lose stone with one of the wheels, hurling it through a large plate flass window in the barber shop of F, S. Scott, destroying the window. During the severe electrical storm | which passed over here last night | the lighting system wes for a short time out of commission, and the city fathers, who were in session, had to resort to candles to light the council chamber. 'Bhe barn of Frank Milling, on the PEPER L EPI PN PEEP reer | Newburgh Road, was struek by light- ning last evening and totally destroy- ed. The horses in the barn were with difficulty got out. A small quantity of hay wag burned. Lieut,-Col. Charles A. Low, O. C. 146th Battalion, came to Napanee last evening and addressed the coun- ell, asking co-operation in securing about 36 more recruits in order to bring the battalion up to strength before going to. camp. OPPOSING IDEALS Touching Lite Is The Cause of Clash Of Arms. In Queen's Quarterly Prof. John Watson discusses "German Philos- ophy and the War." Dr. Watson is convinced that the fierce conflict 1 which now convulses the world is "at bottom the ¢lash of opposing ideals of life rather than the shock ' of armed hosts," Very remarkable is the contrast between the modest re- serve of the leaders of German thought in the beginning of the 19th century and the portentious arro- gance of their successors of to-day. One thing is evident: Prussia has got the upper hand, and since the days of the Great Elector Prussia has been distinguished for its disre-. gard of the rights of others. What it is now and what Germany, forced to follow it, has come to be, Dr. Wat- son's article shows us. To us of the British Empire it is, however, a solace to reflect that, though not free from blame, England has acted hon- orably and justly, Hood's By pn b | to Napanee and 3 4 A Toronto despatch says "OC" Bat- tery, Royal Canadian Horse Artil- lery, 260 strong, under Captain Steacy, arrived in Toronto Monday afternoon. They were met at the station by the Mayor and an escort from the Toronto Brigade "of Artil- lery: Accompanied by two bands, they marched to the City Hall, where they were extended a right royal wel- come on behalf of the city by Mayor Church. He was proud of the R. C. H. A, most of which was composed of Toronto men, and also of what the artillery had been doing for Canada and the Empire in the war, Mayor Church, as president of the Recruiting League, presented Capt. Steacy' with a cheque for $300. In acknowledging it, Capt. Steacy said that he was very glad to come to To- ronto, which in his opinion had done more for the war thai any city in the Empire. Capt. Ringwood said that Toronto was the most patriotic city in Can- ada, and that of all the men who passed through the artillery school at Kingston, the best came from Toron- to. He then called for three cheers for the Mayor and Council of Toron- tg, which were given very heartily. The battery then formed up on the City Hall steps and had their pic- tures taken. -» +* A MILLION :A MONTH. * -- + There will be an expendi- # # ture of a million dollars a month # #% for pay and maintenance of # 10.000 men at Barriefield camp. # + > FPP PR Ebr ER PSS bb db Rb ddbdd er eee SAPPERH.

CLUB RAISING $200 | For the Queen's General Hospital-- | Already Has $140. | The ,Edith Cavell Club, organized | some time ago in the Collegiate In- stitute, is doing some real good] work. It has decided to raise $200 to endow eight beds in No. 7¢ General Hospital (Queen's). This will mean that every pupil in the| Collegiate will have to contribute] about twenty cents. Already near-| ly $140 has béen collected, and it is expected that the remainder will be secured within a very short time, No Better Concert Band | Thé press and public are unani-| mous in acknowledging that there is| no better concert band in America| than the Creatore organization, apd the world has not produced another Teader of Creatoré's ability. He is a musical artist of the very highest | order, with more brilliant ideas of interpretation and more startling re-| sults in effects than the Canadian public has ever before had an oppor- | tunity to contemplate, Elaborate comments have been made regarding | the soulful feeling and artistic tem-| perament so strongly shown in the music that responds to Creatore's baton. He is unique and a revela- tion in his line, so that new beau- ties, new ideas and a variety of charms are shown in his successful learership. The pre-eminent and distinguishing feature of a Creatore concert is its .enjoyable quality. This splendid organization will ap- pear here May 17th at the Kingston rink, Relieved From Writing.
