Cooke, the corner or Stuart and "Barrie streets when he was struck by a street car. Mr. Cooke, who is visiting his dau- ghter, Mrs. J. Russell.Stuart, Alfred street, was returning to Mr. Stuart's residence. He is seventy-four years of age, and somewhat deaf and has poor eyesight. This probably ac- counss for his being unaware of the approach of the street car. Just as he was about to cross the tracks a sign-board on the side of the car caught him, and he was thrown about six feet away. Dr. J. W. Campbell, who happen- "ed to be passing at the time, took the old gentleman in his auto and conveyed him to the General Hos~ pital, where it was found that the right side of his face had been bruis- ed and cut, as also was his right arm and hand. No bones were broken, however, but the shock to his system was severe, This afternoon Mr. Cooke was resting well, and a speedy recovery is hoped for. Matheson's Meetings Conclude.

This is a common mistake, and places the blame on fhe wrong, | shoulders. {show that ninety per cent. of the car {drivers on Princess street at night dim their lights. Why?

The suggestion is to have directing signs on finger {boards erected through the county under its jurisdiction. The assistance of sign beards can- not be over-estimated. The country | roads are highways that make it { possible for the itor to see the country. 'The tourist at present has to work his way through a maze of roads and look at his road map at {every turn. This trouble, that comes joven to hundreds of drivers from the City of Kingston, could be eliminat- |ed if this progressive work was ac- | complished.

However, he was not worrying over the cold; he was tickled to death to know that the fair, into which he put so much hard work, had been a great success.

Leepnard Clarke, who was sentenced by Lieut.-Col. Hunter to five months in the county jail for desertion. The contention of those seeking to secure his release is that Clarke, who is under sixteen, was under the age of enlistment, that consequently, he was not a sol- dier in the-eyes--of the law, and, therefore, could not be .legally charged with desertion.
