VOTED AWAY Proposal to Reduce Representation to Annual Meetings Was Defeated ~Handsome Gift Presented to Miss Muckleston, The Anglican Woman's Auxiliary at its session Thursday afternoon al- lotted its surplus funds to different missionary enterprises in the west. "A $30, life membership fees, was given to the building fund for a schoolroom at Keewatin. The loan of $77 from the general fund was allotted to a reduction of the debt on the church at Keewatin. The sum of $101 from the extra cent a day fund and the Leaflet, the balance was divided as follows: $59 for the parish hall, Peigan Mission, Calgary, and $42 church at Gordon's Reserve, Qu'Ap- pelle, The sum of $106 from the babies' branch was divided as follows: $80 for missionaries' children and $26 for Japanese kindergarten. The sum of $560 from the thank- offering was divided as follows: $131 for the parsonage fund, Saskatche- THE DAILY BRITISH for St. Luke's] wan; $80 for a lantern for La Pas school; $270 for the Bishop's loan minster, B.C. The proposal to amend the consti- tution by eliminating the delegates from the annual meeting, confining the representation to the presidents of the branches was unanimously de-| feated, Mrs. Klugh, first vice-president, in presenting the proposed amendment, | sald it was thought by some that if | the representation to the annual meetings were reduced, the meetings could be held in the smaller towns of | the diocese. She invited a frank dis-| cussion of the matter, calling first on the delegates from Napanee, | Belleville and Brockville, which has | shared with Kingston the honor of | entertaining the auxiliary, to express | their opinion. Without exception, | the delegates from these places said | they were only too glad to entertain! the auxiliary and would gladly find billets for all. | When the proposal was defeated, | Mrs. Willoughby Cummings, editor of | the Leaflet, the organ of the auxili-| ary, expressed her pleasure at the | unanimous decision of the meeting! not to eliminate the delegates and the | more that attended the annual gath-| erings the greater would be the in-| spiration that would be carried back | to the different branches. If it was/| impossible to billet all the delegates, | a large tent could be utilized, and | the women who were accommodated | there in "would have the time of | their lives." Officers Re-elected, It was announced to the 'meeting | that as a result of the balloting Mrs. | W. B. Carey had been re-elected se- | cond vice-president and Miss Louise! Kirkpatrick had been re-elected Leaf- let secretary. All the other officers! were re-elected by acclamation, and the president, Miss Macaulay, thank- ed the auxiliary for its continued | confidénce in its officers. | i Gift for Miss Muckleston, Mrs. Wilson, of Napanee, on be- half of the members Of the auxiliary presented Miss A. Muckleston with a handsome secretarial satchel in re- cognition of the splendid services she has rendered during the 25 years that she has been Dorcas secretary- | treasurer. Miss Muckleston was delighted | with the timely gift and made a| happy reply. | Bishop Bidwell announced that a syndicate had taken over St. Agnes'| College at Belleville and would con- tinue to operate it as an Amglican| school. The resolution committee submit-| ted a report thanking the following | for assisting in making the conven-| tion a success: Bishop Bidwell, | Canon Gould, Mrs. Willoughby Cum- | mings, Rev. A. L. Fleming, the] clergy of the cathedral, the city clergy, Rev. Cecil F. Whalley, Mrs. R. J. Gardiner, who presided at the piano, the hostesses and the mem-| bers of the board. Regret was ei | pressed at the absence of Bishop and Mrs. Mills. Among the Esquimaux. Rev. A. L. Fleming, who has lab-| ored among the Esquimaux®"in Baf-| fin's Land, gave a stirring address on "The Building of an Arctic| Church." With the assistance of] two native boys he joined two shacks | together, and proceeded to make! them look like a church. The small- er shack did duty for a chapel.

The chair was occupied by Rev. T. W, Savary, and the chief item on the programme was an illus-| trated lecture by Rev. A. L. Flem- ing, whose subject was "A Visit to! the Snow-hut Dwellers of the Arctic." | The burning words and the graphic views were keenly enjoyed by all. The convention concluded this morning with a meeting of the new board and the presidents of the! parochial branches. Néw Serisl and Pictures. The Whig's new serial story, "The Girl and the Game," will begin on Saturday, June 10th, and continue weekly thereafter until finished. This is a story of mountain railway life by Frank H. Spearman, author of "Whis- pering Smith" and "The Mountain Divide." It is a thrilling tale, and will be read with pleasure by thou- ho pictures of this story will be shown in Griffin's Theatre ezch Mon- day and Tuesday, beginning ° June fund, Edmonton, the remainder going | toward Japanese work at New West- | {owing to soldiers either > FRID) ope. - A Me JUNE, 1016 On Thursday morning the new power water pump at Barriefield yas started for the first time. An engine of twenty horsepower runs the pymp, which throws 200 U.S. gallons/into the pipes every minute. The power used is of 220 volts, stepped down from the 2,200 volts ow the main wires. The water is pumped from the river to the pipes through the camp and into the tanks mear -the steam pump house. : On May 27th and June 3rd, the British Whig published a large man- oeuvre map of the county of Fron- tenac and adjoining district and one of the best maps of the city ever drawn. There are still some copies of these left and military men in- terested should secure a copy. at the Whig oflice without delay. Similar maps purchased elsewhere would cost at least twenty-five cents. The poles for carrying electric wires to Barriefield camp are now being erected, The final plans for lighting through the battalion lines are being arranged to the best ad- vantage of all concerned.

The vaudeville consisted of Vy. Lynn in a comedy musical act. His playing on the violin is exceptionally good and his dancing in the make up of Charlie Chaplin pleased immensely, Nash and Evans in a comedy talking, sing- ing and dancing number also was good. Their dancing on roller skates is a good piece of work. This same programme will be repeated to-night and also on Friday and Saturday afternoons and evening.

Toronto, June 9.--The second dav of counsel's summing up of the evidence taken before the Meredith- Dufi. Compmission outliness a little more clearly the main conclusions to be drawn from the whole inquiry. The lawyers referred, in a general way; to the limited character and | scope of the inquiry, to the justifi- cation and exculpgtion offered by the defence in regard to the policy and action of Sir Sam Hughes and the Shell Committee and to the mor- al drawn by the prosecution from the circumstantial evidence offered as to a deliberate plot to collect a million-dollar rake-off for Allison and his friends from the fuse con- tracts, and to be drawn alse frpm Major-General Sir Sam Huglies' continued endorsation of Allison and of his profiteering in war munitions | | while occupying the position of con- fidential agent for the Minister of Militia. Judging by the illuminative and sometimes opposing day's counsel, it would not be sur- prising if there were two findings, taking different viewpoints 'on each of the above aspects of the inquiry. THE PRICE OF BEBR. No Increase When Soid by the Glass. The absence of drunkenness on the streets is much commented up- on, especially in 'view of the fact that nearly 12,000 soldiers are in camp here, The action of the hotel keepers in restricting the sale of beverages to soldiers to beer and soft | drinks only is partially responsible for this satisfactory condition of af- fairs, Considerable credit is also dune, of course; to the men themslev- es, who desire to uphold the honor and good repute of their regiments. The published' report that the price of beer had risen to 10c a glass was erroneous. Such an increase has not been made. crease, the licensed victuallers point out, has been in th eprice of bot- | tled beer from 10c¢ a bottle to two This was made necessary to carrying away or breaking so many empty bottles, which, of course, have = considerable value. To somewhat recoup themselves for this loss, the hotelkeepers advanced the price five cents on two bottles. As far ag one can judge, the hotelmen are endeav- oring to conduct the business along sane and sound lines, 'Strawberries, Ripe and Sweet.

Co. photoplay version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous novel and play of the same name, which will be presented at the Grif- fin Theatre on Friday, Saturday, | | | Mr. Waller's recent death was sin- cerely mourned in this country as| well as in his own. Mr. Waller was | | well known in New York for his| { work in "The Garden of Allah," in| | which he played at the New Theatre, | now the Century Opera House, Dur-| ing his subsequent management of | | Daly's Theatre he played his old part; | of "Monsieur Beaucaire." Later he ! toured the United States and Canada| {in "A Butterfly on the Wheel" and in| | "A Marriage for Convenience,' after | | which he left for Australia. Upon; | his return to England he signed a| | contract with the Universal to ap-| | pear in "Brigadier Gerard." Soon] | after he had finished the _picture| {word was received in America of | his sudden death. At the Strand. That power and luxury do not al-| ways spell satisfaction and pleasure is the theme of the Ince-Triangle drama, "Honor's Altar." This play, | {in which Bessie Barriscale; Lewis| | Scone and Walter Edwards are star- | i red, was shown at the Strand last] | evening, and made a deep impression | {on all present. A two-act Keystone, | "His Auto Ruination," featuring] Mack Swain, a 2-act Bio dpaia,]| "Count Twenty," "The Society Schemer," and other good subjects, provide a bill of high class variety. |The same programme will be shown 4pagain to-night and at the Saturday v/| shows. ! | SOLDIERS MUST GET TO CAMP ON TIME. | Three Late-comers "Held up" on Bridge, and Escorted to | Police Station. |.
