Jordan, Miss E Muckleson, * Corresponding Secretary--Mrs, J Wright, ~Recording Secretary--Miss I. Ro nan. Treasurer-- Miss H, Chown; The election of officers at the an- nual meeting of the Council held a month ago was protested by a num- ber of members, who held it should have been done by ballot, As a result, Mrs. Plumptre of Toronto, a member of National Council executive, wis invited to preside at the special meeting, and she directed the pro- ceedings in a most neutral manner, The City Council chamber was not nearly large enough to accommodate woren and the meeting was held the he in the City Hall, which place Was more than half filled. The first announcement by Mrs. Plumptire was to the effect that she Lad brought 'ballots with hér from Toronto, and to insure a satisfactory ecleetion two scrutineers 'should be appointed, Misg Machar selected Miss Etta Smith and © Mrs, Macgili- vray, the other présidential nominee, lected Miss May Chown The first question that aroused a great amount of argument was by Miss Mowat, who asked if convenors of standing committees should have a vote Miss Machar said that they should have, while Miss Mowat con tended that such was not in the con: -------- A ----.

Each had sent its ap- plication and the fee to the secretary. In the case of the Queen's Alum- nae the application wish the dollar had been sent on March 5th,-but had been returned on March 6th. Miss Machar took objection to the way the meeting had been called and explain- ed the reason for refusing the re. quest, The request of the Home for the Aged then came under discussion. A standing vote was again neded and the majority declared agains: giving these societies a vote, Miss Mowat at this juncture asked that only representatives be counted in the voting as she represented four votes, but they counted only as one in the standing contest. Mrs, Plump- tre ruled that the delegates should have enough interest in the affair to be present and vote for themselves or Mrs Plumpt re i on the atior n, suffer in consequence . Miss H. Chown brought up the question as to the chasacter of the meeting, which was a special one, and whether other business beyond that of electing new officers would be dealt with. Mrs. Plumptre stated that it was a special meeting for tha eleition of officers only, The fact that on March 1st an ap- plication and a dollar had been sent hy the Queen's Alumnae to the Coun- cil executive, and on March 5th the fee had been returned was thorough- ly aired. Miss Machar said that it was irregular to accept the applica- tion. The discussion then drfted to Miss Ronan"s answer to Mrs. Wright's re- quest for affiliation of the St. John's Ambulance Society Bringing the matter back to th» point at issue, Mrs: Plumptre ruled that the officers of last year were still in office until new ones were elected Then Miss Mowat and Miss Machar had an argument as to the legality of the annual meeting on February 17th which Miss Mowat said had been called at one day's notice in spite of parts of the constitution, which, she said "Miss Machar as president absolutely refused to adopt." After remarks by Mrs. Plumptre, Mrs. Wright and Mrs, Bidwell, it was decided by a standing vote of 45 to 40 that Mrs, Plumptre's ruling would be binding, Mrs, Plumptre said that in view of the fact that this special meeting had been forced, no society which in the meantime had made ap- plication for affiliation should have a vote, Mrs. H. Macpherson brought up the question as to whether new nom- ination lists could be received. This matter started a lengthy discussion until the subject was decided by the presiding officer, who said that while nominations of those unable to ac- cept the positions cquld be cancelled and others substitufed, it was decid- edly unfair to have entirely new lists submitted. "At 'this point, Miss Machar an- nounced that Miss Etta Smith would retire as scrutineer and Miss May MacDonnell would act in her place. The meeting then resolved itself to the question at issue. Between the time it took to dis- tribute the ballots for other elections, beside those for president, and the time that the presidential ballots had been collected, Mrs. Plumptre sur- prised the meeting by asking where the collected ballots had disappeared. They were finally located in the City Council chamber, The election of Miss Machar and the ther officers was greeted with applause and the meeting closed with short addresses expressing the thanks | After a THEY Lance.

Rumors that there is revolution in Berlin and that the Kaiser had been killed swept the United States and Canada Monday afternoon witha no apparent basis, so far as could be as- certained. Apparently they were traceable to recent stories from Continental sources stating that there was un- rest in Germany, and that the suc- cess of the Russian revolution might, in the opinign of some, embolden the people of the other European nations to take control. ------------ Human Hair Protects and Adorns Head.

Wreckers came to re- move the cargo to barges alongside, the bow of the boat being out of water, but the stern so deep down as to nearly stand on end.

CLEARING AT $2.25. with intent of appropriating without consent of the lawful owners of parts of machinery and cargo, came from some place down the New Jersey sea' coast. | They worked many days, the divers going down to the bottom in- icy waters swift as a rushing mill- racé, Seme parts of the cargo that had not been damaged by water , were removed, and the job was aban- 'doned to await summer temperature. Penhaps 'some of my readers may imagine the sensation, when loaded down with many pounds of lead to counteract the buoyancy of the air within a diver's helmet, they might step off the ladder at the sutface to say perhaps goodbye to all on earth, to sink 100 feet in almost inky dark waters of zero temperature, but thos: fellows did it, the plunder sent up by them being proof 4 One of the divers reported that at the steamer's stern there was a great pile of square timbers as wide as a village stpeet, and higher than he | could 'reach when standing on bot- tom, The fellow must have told truth, as he had never known or heard of the rafting business, the timbers probably being a part of a {raft broken in two at the lighthouse | rocks many years before, | Acrosg the channel, a little way below Mr. Stone's cottage, another wreck, that of a large vessel, lies sunken in deep waters, 'but may be seen in calm water in October, when | water is clearést. The oldest settlers, some of whom were residing in log ¢abing in clearings in the woods when hostile Indians were plenty during 'the War of 1812, could give no in- formati of this wreck. That there were entertaining affairs along there ig certain, as farmers along shore dug grape shot from trees and plow- ed up cannon balls 'as large as croquet balls, the last one being found but a few years ago. Whether there was truth in the story that an old settler used to tell of an English fleet of war vessels that were an- { chored for the night, and two of the crew attempted to escape with a box of gold from the paymaster's ship, there has never been verification. His story was that about 411 the guns, i big and small, were discharged at the fugitives, who dropped the box overboard and escaped to the woods. {| There have been others who believed {the cannon balls on land and the sunken vessel were the results of a ' small naval battle there in the War lof 1812, but there is no record in | history of such occurrence, the only way of determining being a search of American or English archives of {about those times. : { A half mile down stream from {there is the Peel dock, where the sunken hulk of the steamer of that name liesso near shore that a hat may be tossed to the surface above ~ it. A large anchor and chain was grappled up frem thére a few years ago, it undoubtedly being a part of ithe equipment of the ill-fated steam- er burned and sunk by Bill Johnston and hig followers In 1838.
