Countess of Warwick’s Visitâ€""Kitty Gor- don," the Actressâ€"Rumors of strikes ~Knl3hts of the Future. (We have arranged for a weekly letter about Toronto affairs, which. we believe. will be of great interest to many ofyour readers. These letters will be .from the pen of one of Canada’s foremost journav lets, a man who has covered some of the world's greatest happenings and now 00- cupies a leading position on one of the Toronto dailies.) Toronto has been anticipating with in- terest the promised visit of the Countess of Warwick. one of the most remarkable women of the generation. In her younger days she was a famous court beauty. and a great favorite with the late King Ed- ward when he was Prince of Wales. Like Queen Alexandra and Mrs. Langtry. per- haps the two other most famous beauties of the era. the Countess of Warwick re- tains today but the vestigc of her former personal charm. Her name was promin- ently associated with the notorious bac- carat scandal. the asperslon against her being that it was she who had first tat- tled, thereby being responsible for the entire disclosure. Hence she acquired the epithet. “Babblin Brook.-n the Countess of Brooke being or title at that time. It is believed, however. that the slices.- tion was untrue. A SOCIALIST COUNTESS. In recent years she has profess_ed_ an ardent devotion to the cause of Somalism. She is continually appearing on the plat. form. and has made large contributions to the cause of labor. Perhaps because of the latter fact she is held in high esteem by what may be termed the oil- flcial labor party. but it is doubtful if she carries much weight with the masses who are not often tolerant of ostentation and flightness. As a Socialist propagan- diet she has made several visits to the United States. where a title as distingu- ished as here never fails to make a com- motion. While she may be the messen- ger of a new era for democracy her lec- ture tour is arranged as if she were a star amusement attraction. Seats for her lectures are offered at about ton prices for the season, which may be taken as an ev1dcnce of faith in her drawing powers. RARE BEAUTY. POOR ACTRESS. 0f present-day beauties Toronto reccnt~ ly had an opportunity to judge “Kitty Gordon," who. with Princess Patricia. is included by a prominent artist among the ten most beautiful women in the world. Theatregoers were duly impressed with her physical charms and her mar- velous jewels and dresses. including the $100,000 string of pearls and the $10,000 gown of gold (press agent's figures). But as an actress it has to he confessed she was a frost. Nevertheless. her memory is to be preserved for us by a local beauty specialist who has invented a "Kitty Gordon” facial cream. Another lotion is to be named "Vera. Bercsfori ” in honor of Kitty Gordon's daughterâ€"the actress who came from the ranks of a London theatre. being married to a nephew of Lord Charles Beresforcl. ’ SPRING CROP OF STRIKES. This year's annual spring disturbance in the labor world may be unusually se- vere. After a duration of several weeks the strike of a. thousand cloak makers and garment workers at Eaton's threat- ened to spread to other trades, including carpenters, electrical workers. plumbers and steamfltters. and threatened to be presented by the unions in such a way that. it would become a national affair. affecting. as far as they can make it. do so, all parts of Canada. Such a situa- tion contains all the elements of a. seri- ous struggle. Already too, thirty leading tailor shops have been tied up. The building trades. particularly the carpenters, are restless and are just waiting for the opportunity to demand more money. The 1.500 street rir’rlway employee are dissatisfied. In fact. there is scarcely any department of organized labor. in which if wages are not. advanced. there is not the probabil- ity of trouble. SOCIAL UNREST NEARLY OVER? Of course. in this Toronto is but gettin" its share of a discontent that seems to be world wide. According to the views of Prof. James Mavar. who occupies the chair of Political Economy in the Uni- versity of Toronto. and who is, perhaps. one of the best informed authorities on industrial affairs anywhere. there is no special significance to be attached to this world wide unrest. Many of the causes. he says, are purely local and the present ferment may be expected to shortly sub- side. There is, he admits. a. general con- lviction on the part of the workingman that he has not been sharing as he should in the extraordinary prosperity of the past decade. and there is, too. a growing class hatred engendered. perhaps. by the growing public ostentation of the rich. for example, in motor cars. and. perhaps. also. by the publicity of the doings of the rich given in the modern newspaper. Prof. Mavor,says he himself recently heard in front of St. James Cathedral violent language directed at the guests at a wedding. by passing laborers. who could have had no direct personal inter est. Such an incident is unusual in this country. and may have significance. SQUEEZING UP COAL PRICES. The coal strike in the United States mines threatened for April finds Toronto factories with scarcely any stock on hand. And a shut-down of long duration will mean' the closing of many establish- ments and much hardship in consequence. There is a feeling that~much of the strike talk is advanced by coal owners on the other side who, with large stocks on hand, see a chance of selling their supply at greatly advanced prices. During the last strike a new crop of millionaires was made in Buffalo and other points by this means. On that occasion. however. some Toronto dealers had better supplies on hand than they have now. RUMORS AB OUT TITLES. There are already interesting rumors ‘respecting the recipients of honors at the future distributions of titles. Two names prominently mentioned for knighthood are those of Hon. Wallace Nesbitt. K.C.. formerly Judge of the Supreme Court. and Mr. J. S. Willison, editor of the Toronto News. and Canadian correspondent of the London Times. Both are distinguished speakers. both have .reudcred the present Dominion Government important servic- es. and both are working hard for the centralization of the governing forces of the Empire. Their elevations would be popular with a. wide' circle of friends. Mrs. Colin Gobbleâ€"Do you ever permit your husband to have his own way? Mrs. Strongmindâ€"Oh, yes, occasionally. He is sure to make a fool of himself, and that makes him easier to manage next time. DO YOU BREAD THIS that will do it KIND OF WEATHER If you are subject to Bronchitis, or if you want to relieve a Cold or Cough, there is nothing so effectively as CUTLERY WITHOUT STEEL. New Alloy Diapases-_Evcn With Iron for Knives. An American scientist has discov- ered a. new alloy which is likely to work a great change in some parts of the industrial world. By means of this alloy manufacturers will be able to make cutlery without the use of iron or steel-L’s. feat that has hitherto been impossible of accom- plishment. The inventor is, by pro- fession, an' automobile manufac- turer, who makes a hobby of chem- istry. His discovery is a combina- tion of cobalt and chromium. It is unoxidizable and retains its lustre under all atmospheric conditions. It will take an edge which will com- pare favorably with the best steel, to which it is claimed to be superior in many respects. The alloy will take a. hard polish, and is pleasing in appearance. Pocket knives and razors have been made from it. and used with remarkable success. Iron has been turned on a lathe with it. while the fruit knives made from it have been found not to tarnish from contact with fruit juice. SPRING IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD A Tonic Medicine is a Necessity at This Season. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are an all year round tonic, blood-builder and nerveâ€"restorcr. But they are cepecially valuable in the spring when the system is loaded with impurities as a. result of the indoor life of thewinter months. There is no other season when the blood is so much in need of purifying and enriching, and every dose of these pills helps to make new, rich, red blood. In the spring one feels weak and tiredâ€" Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills give strength. In the spring the appe- tite is often poorâ€"Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills develop the appetite, tone the stomach and aid weak di‘ gestion. It is in the spring that poisons in the blood find an outlet in disfiguring pimples, eruptions and boilsâ€"Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills speedily clear the skin because they go to the root of the trouble in the blood. In the spring anaemia, rheumatism, indigestion, neuralgia, crysipclas and many other troubles are most persistent because of poor, weak blood, and it is at this time when all nature takes on new life that the blood most seriously needs attention. Some people dose themselves with purgatives at this season, but these only further weaken themselves. merely gallops through the system, emptying the bowels, but it does not cure anything. On the other hand Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actu- ally makc new blood, which reaches every nerve and organ in the body, bringing new strength, new health and vigor to weak, easily tired men, women and children.

Since bank stocks have ceased being used as a medium of speculation they have increased their income yield cor.- sulci'ably. either by dropping in price or Without material price change having in- creased thcir dividends.

So. considering these points. one would not be far wrong in concluding thatl many bank stocks are cheap at the pre- sent time. Looking at the matter from an invest- ment point of view. the first question is' that of safety. First and foremost, how- ever. in this question it must be pointed out that shares in new banks are not. suitable investments for those dependent. on the income from their investments, or others who cannot afford to specu- late.
