Local hotelmen report that the de- mand for two per cent. is not increas ing, in fact, it Is decreasing, the first two weeks, they say, being the best, curiosity being respousible for this. They explain that had prohibitien come into effect early in the simmer, the taste of the lquid-consuming public might have been educated in the direction of two per cent., but us these drinks have to be served cold, there is not much cKance, with 'educating. - IS RETURNING HOME, Lieut.

Wheil asked by the Whig, Mr. Boyd could not say just what his loss would be, but that} it would be quite heavy. He carries {n¥arance of $2,000, while Mr. Bibby, | who owns the building, has $3,000. The fire broke out at 7.42 o'clock on the second rey, where the auto- mobile stock dnd repairing appama- tus is quantered, and it was in this department that the loss was incur- red. of the building, and did not get down- stairs, although the ground floor was well 'flooded With water. The fire- men used titree streams of water. The fire 8 believed to have been | caused by edectric wires, which be-| came defective as a result of the re-| cent big storm in Kingston. } It was a hot fire while it lasted, and it took some guick work on the] part of Chief Armstrong and his squad to get it under control. How- ever, in half an hour's time, the fire was- under control, and extinguished a short time later. Three lines of hose were used. Several cars were in the ground floor when the fire broke out, but the men employed in the garage got these out of the way in quick order, and there was no loss in this respect. Mr. Boyd bought the garage from Mr. Bibby two weeks ago. Mr. Boyd stated that he had about $4,000 worth, of stock in the building, and this has been practically ruined. FOR QUEEN'S HOSPITAL.
