HARRISON CO. dll LL GOING THE ROUNDS Burglar With Key Believed to Be at Work in the Stores. It would be well for the Kingston merchants to pay special attention to their store doors, as it is believed that a burglar who uses a skeleton key is at work in the city. Information is at hand to lead to the belief that a key man has been going the rounds and for this reason it will be well for the merchants to take special care in the matter, Cost of Tea Rapidly Increasing. The recent advance of five cents a pound by no means represents the increased cost of the fine teas used in "SALADA." The markets have advanced from six to tem cents a pound and the freight rates jumped two 'and one-half cents a pound in the past two menths. Whatever prices these uncontrollable condi- tions may warrant, howéver, you may rely on the guality of "SAL- ADA" remaining exactly the same as ever. : During the month of January we en- i all 'odd chairs, ta- bles and dishes at gsufficiently attrac- Bitive prices to make it worth while from the customer's point of view.

Hughes? When the Princess Street club met on Saturday night there was one va- cant chair, The- Cataraqui man was missing. The members looked to the chairman for an ex- planation. "Gentlemen," he explained, "I can enlighten you. ----for a while at least. Our friend is engaged this evening in interview- ing the city's leading - contractors, some city officials, the cleverest mathematicians in our schools and colleges and other prominent citi- zens, He is trying tg get some defin- ite facts in regard to that big bill |} | of Verandah George's. He wants, most of all, to learn from these ex- perts, these men of experience andj} light, just how a contractor arrives at a charge of $25.00 for horse-hire for hauling about $150.00 worth of {J}! lumber within a space of about 40 |i The latter figures are Ald. Nickle's, not mine, but I be- lieve they are correct. Here is a problem for master minds to solve. So, you see, our friend has a good reason for being absent tonight." "The Trades and Labor Council demand information in regard to this bill," said the critic," and I am glad to see this action on their part. They are wide-awake fellows, and are not going to let Ald. Peters and Ald. Hughes, the: chairman of the Board of Works and city-property, put it over them. From what I hear Frontenac ward will take care of Ald. Peters and this bill of $1,800 on election day." "A pretty pickle the Conservatives have got into!" exclaimed another member; "Payne and Peters have given them a fine black eye this time, while Hughes btood by and let the merry work go on, If he had charge of city property, as chairman of that committee, why did he go to sleep on the job?" "Come, come," interposed the chairmen. "You're unnecessarily hard on Hughes. He must have been pretty much worried just about that time: His party was eargerly searching for a sacrificial lamb, somebody,--ye gods and dearer brooms, anybody-- who would step into the breach and try conclusions with that doughty knight, Dr. Rich- ardson. Would he make the sacri- fice, would he fight a hopeless fight, when the party bugle blew the charge? It was muoh to demand of the most heroic man, and we must not blame Ald. Hughes too much if he neglected other things While he concentracted all his mind upon a decision. 1 don't suppose he ever imagined that, while he was cogi- tating and comparing and consider- ing, $1,800 would be spent on city property without calling for tenders and giving every contractor in the city a fair and even chance. I would have to, have an awful grudge against the other city contractors be- fore I could do such a thing. - What did these other citizens do that they should be ignored? As I said before, you can't expect a, man to think of everything when the mayoralty bee buzzes so loudly." : "Well, we're doing a little think- ing up ing Frontenac ward," said a member who hails from that favorea spot. "You know we workingmen are pretty strong up there, and on election day we're going to show Ald. Peters and Ald. Hughes what we think of spending mearly $2,000 of city-money without calling for ten- ders. If all the city committees and the city auditor and the city council won't stand for this bill, do you think we're dupes enough to® We're going to vote against it, too. Our fellows are stirred up over this, and are going to show some aldermen what they think of such transac- tions." "From what T hear the other wards will not lag behind Frontenac ward in giving these fellows the bumps," declared a Rideau ward resident, "Before we adjourn," said the chairman," I would like to announce that we will have some very interest- ing subjects for discussion next meeting, So come early, and bring along a few converts. The city is chock full of them just at present." by 60 feet. HICKS-KILLINS WEDDING A Quiet Event Celebrated With Of cers as Principals.
