The British-American Hotel, the oldest hostelry in this city, will closé its doors to guests on Saturday night and in the course of a few days the Lproprietor Frank A. Hanley, will; hold an #uction sale and dispose of | the entire furnishings. Mr. Hanley has heen running. the hotel! 'under a "standard" license since Ontario went "dry," but states that with the bar' trade cut off "he cannot make the business pay, and for "this reason he has decided to | sell out, and at the same time retire | from the hotel business. 'The bufld- ing is owned by the Kingston Real | Estate Company. Mr. Hanley has been conducting the hotel for she past two years, and has served the people well. He is-a | man who knows the business from A Ito Z, and always gave his guests the very. hest he could, and is popular | with all : «- 1m Speaking to the Whig on Friday morning, Mr. Hanley stated that with the cutting off of the. bar trade he could not make the business pay. He dréw attention to the very heavy expense the hotel is under, and with the dropping off of the bar trade it would be impossible to keep it going. He made some money before the On- tario Temperance Act went into force and does not care to keep on in the business and lose it The --British-American -Hot€l | Is not only the oldest hotel in Kings- ton, but ohe of the oldest ih Eastern Canada, it having served the public for close on to 120 years. It is known to. travellers the world over, andr its day has housed many notable péople. or some time the dining-room at the British-American Hote] has been closed, the guests being cared for at the Frontenac Hotel. The closing of this hotel 'zoes to show just 'how popular two per cent. beer -is with the people. "Since the "strong stuff" was put on the forbid- den. list there has been very little trade in this or any of the local ho- tels. The hotéls are now minus the old-time stir; in fact some of the ho- tel bars and corridors are as quiet as a graveyard. When old King Al- coho! ruled they were pretty lively places, In Bivouac And Barracks Capt. W. F. Ingpen' artillery in- structor at the Royal Military Col- lege, has been promoted to the rank of major in ¢onsideration of his work in instructing at Petawawa Camp during the past summer. John Coughlin, tate band iaster of the 156th Battalion, has been ap- pointed bandmaster of the Governor- General's Body Guard Band, Ottawa. Bandsman David Brown, 1551 Battalion band, who. is now in the General Hospital recovering from a fracture of the leg, received wotd 2m Thursday that his cousin, Lieut. A. R. Henshilwood, King's Liverpo:! Regiment, has been killed in action, Albert Sparks, to the Queen's Field Ambulance Corps, and William Dadswell, to the Canadian Engineers, have enlisted in the Princess street recruiting depot for\overseas service. Camp headquarters moved to the city on Friday, and load after load of office equipment was changed from the camp to the armouries offices. --_------" ge Lieut. J. B. Freeland, an ex-R.M.C, cadet, was in the city to-day renew- ing acquaintances before leaving for overseas to rejoin his regiment. Last July Lieut. Freeland was wounded severely in the left hand while serv- ing in France with a Yorkshire Im- perial regiment and was given seve- ral months' furlough. He is now re- tuning fo the front, having recover: ed from his injury. WILL MOVE SOON. Recruiting Depot Moving in a Week to Inside Location. It is expected that the recruiting «depot on Princess street, now next to Rodger's jewellery store, will move to its new location in the Mid- land Shoe office about the first of the ménth. There is nothing in the gate- way to stop the steady draft of wind, and the office work in connection with the signing up of recruits is therefore done under difficulties. | It is expected that with a warm and inviting office instead of a colld open-air gateway recruits could be better taken care of. There are also many cases in which the recruiting offices. wish to discuss the matter with young men and this cannot be advantageously done outside. ™ Canadian Casualties. . Killed in action--A. A.

The programme of vaudeville and photoplays being presented at the} | Grand Opera 'House the last half of || this week is 'one of the strongest bills yet. presented. William Far- num, the celebrated actor of the Fox Film Company, is seen in a stirring | drama. "The End of the Trail." The | scenes of this picture are all laid in the snow-elad regions, of the Great | North-West, and the picture tells a story of~the fight made by one man | for his home and happiness. A two- reel Universal photoplay, "They { Would Not Take Him Seriously" al} | comedy - picture, "Sammie Johnston lin Mexico," and the Pathe News was {also presented. Marion Drew, 'in a | hoop rolling -act performed some | very clever work. Padon & Read, lin a black-face comedy singing act | was also very good. The same bill | will Yhe presented to-night and on Saturday afternoon and evening. | Next Monday night, Oct. 30th, at {the Grand Opera House, "Some | Baby," a clever farcial comedy, will | be here. ItNis{a three-act play con- | ceived for the purpose of rousing the risibilities, and when you see into | what a perfect maze of complica-; | tions an aged professor of chemistry,' Ii} his daughter, aged twenty, his sister on the other side of forty, the youth-| ii} | ful suitor for the daughter's hand, | a retired general of sixty, and a num- | ber of minor characters can be in- | volved in, you will understand the | reason for the laugh-producing { qualities attributed to it.. The Elixir {'of Youth does it all--or. the old pro- |fessor's firm belief that he has dis- | covered this long-sought magie-- {that starts the action and keeps the { audience on the qui vive up to the | final curtain. Grace Merritt heads lan excellent acting company. | -- | v At Griffin's, > | An unusually large and highly de- [lighted audience attended his popu- {lar play house last evening to witness |a well selected and very entertaining | bill. The feature picture, a Famous Player production, was entitled "*Lit- Itle Lady Eileen," with that charming little screen star, Marguerite Clark, lin the leading role. It is a real Irish itale of love and loyalty--truly Irish || in every essential detail---not a cari- cature, but wholesome, sweet and winning with the ever present wit and light-hearted frolic that cha- racterizes almost every action of the sons and daughters of the Emerald Isle. The vaudeville, the Elite Duo, termed novelty musical wmrinstrels. gave a very entertaining and unusifal form of entertainment. The Athletic Weekly is of unusual interest. The bill closed with one of those "Musty Suffus" scream '¢omedies and com- plete an evening of real enjoyment. The above bill will be shown to- day and to-morrow. v SHOE REPAIRING GET ANOTHER BOOST. A Meeting Called For Next Week-- Increase Absolutely Necessary in View of Present Conditions. "Can you put"on a pair of half- soles for me to-Gdy?"" was the ques- tion asked of a local shoemaker on Friday morning. The answer was characteristic of present conditions in this work in the eity, is practically impossible to get at any price and even by paying sixty-eight cents a pound it is difficult tp gel leather." The citizens must become accus- | tomed soon to paying record prices | for shoe repairing. ~The price of { leather in the last two ydars has ad- vanced from twenty-five to sixty- now the slightest indication of a let- up. In regard to shoemakers, there are so many overseas employed in military work that advertisements of the most extensive kind are unable to find needed men. x Néxt week the - shoemakers and shoe repairers of the city are to meet and .a new schedule of prices will likely, be drawn up. At the first of this r a revisal was made, but even this advance denies the shoe- renairer a living under present con- ditions. > In discussing the probability of lower prices, the shoemaker said that in imitation leather or the new com- positions now on the market there is the only chance of salvation. The new composition (and there are seve- ral) are on the whole very satisfac- tory, though the majority will not sole. These should improve in time, howver. ! 1 tp . Poultry Association.
