'SIr George W. Ross at the canadlan élub -â€"-Senatcr Jeffrey and Sir Mackenzie Howellâ€"The New Judgeâ€"Real Estate. Sir George W. Rom does not often make public addresses now, but whenever he does he is sure of a large audienoe_and rapt attendance. Nor does he ever disap- oiiit expectations either in the matter of is addresses or the manner of his deliv- ery; for he takes rank as one of the first. if not the very first orator that this rovmce has produced. The general esteem in which the former Premier is held was expressed on thei occasion of his addressing the Canadian Club the other day by Mr. T. A. Russell. the presiding officer. It was not every one. he said. who could retire from high oflice to private life. and particularly to the Senate. and could retain such a grip on affairs and such influence with the public. Sir George's subject was “The Panama Canal." lle briefly traced its history and than referred at length to the various treaty obligations in connection there- with entered into by the United States. demonstrating clearly that up to the present year the United States, by the utterances of its public men and by un- equivocal language in the most solemn treaties. has again and again declared that the Canal is to be open on equal terms to the subjects and citizens of all nations, and that there should be no dis- crimination against any. The action of the States now in £66kan to exempt its own vessels from the terms of this treaty was inexplicable. A Masterly Address. Sir George‘s marslialling of the facts was masterly. It is the first time any canadian of prominence has.grappled‘ With the issue in public. and Sir George did so fearlessly and. forcefully. The address will. no doubt. furnish. the cue for others. As to future action, 811‘ George advocated, first. Vigorous protests irom Parliament, Second. an appeal to the Hague. and. lastly, if Uncle Sam refused to‘ submit to the Hague, it was hinted that perhaps some form .of retaliation Einrht be made oeilctive. . Sir George said e was opposed to retaliation except as a last resort. . The occasion was one of the high spots in the Canadian Club history. The lunch- eon hall was filled to overflowing. and though Sir George “talked across the table." that is. from his sent, his veico carried to every part of the room and gave not the slightest indication of .his venty-ono years or the thousand political attles he has braved. | l Senator Jeffrey of the Globe. Beside Sir George sat e. brother Senator. Hon. Robert Jalfray. who as another mem- ber of the old guard, furnishes another example of the remarkable vitality of Canadian public men. cuator Jafl’ray is over 30 years old. but c is literally as live! as a cricket. In oed. during the last ten years Sena- tor 'Jaffray has been much more in the ublic cyc than he was in earlier years. 3 takes the keeuest personal interest in all public affairs. rarely missing any address at the Canadian Club, or else- where. for that matter, where any issue affecting Canada is under discussion. It is perhaps not generally known that Senator Juilray is the one main more than any other who stands for the Globe news- paper, and whom that paper represents. Hie nominal connection with it is that of President of the company. There are. of course. other directors and shareholders and a number of editors. but the man who is the court of last appeal on any ‘matter of detail or in matters of large general policy is the Senator. Formerly. his attachment to the Globe was much more slender than it is now. He had other business interestsâ€"ho has been in business in Toronto for sixty yearsâ€"and the Globe was but a. side line Thin Bits of Corn Toasted to A delicate Light Brownâ€" , PCst l l Toasties I l i To be eaten with cream ! and sugar. or served with canned fruit poured over l â€"*either way insures a 3 most delicious dish. “The Flemory Lingers” â€"‘ : Canadian Peetum Cereal 00..

But in recent years it has become more and more the engrossing object of his life and not a day passes that he does not. spend several hours in its: various depart. ments. A Boy at Nlnoty Years. But in point of years the grand old man of Ontario public life is Sir Mnckoiizw Bowell. At the time this is written ho is lying in the Wellosle private hospital in this city recovering ruin the effects of a fall. His physicians have not noted any disquieting symptoms. but he is so old they are almost afraid to say he will get altogeiher well again. If he lives until December 27 next he will be ninety years old. When he met with his recent accident he was on his way home to Bolloville from a trip to the Pacific Coast. And when he travels he asks for no special ooncemions in the way of luxury either. Though members of different political parties. Senator Jaifray and Sir Mao- kenzie Bowell are quite cronies. A year or two ago together they accompanied a press party to New Ontario and electri- flcd every one by the activity and energy they showed in going down mines and climbim: through the wilderness. Canadian politics will furnish no more striking romance than that of Sir Mao- kcnzie. who rose from printer's devil to be Premier of Canada. quite equalling Lincoln’s from log cabin to White House. Mr. Justlcs Hodglns. The appointment of Frank E. Hodgins to a judccship in the Court of Appeal is regarded by Liberals and Conservatives alike as an excellent appointment. As a. lawyer he has been devoted 1'0 his pro- fession and. in addition to ability as a counsel. he is generally recognized as hav- ing that quality so requisite to his pre- sent position, known as the judicial tem- perament. He is known to the public chiefly through his connection with vari- ous public inquiries. including the On- tario Government's License Investigation of five years ago, the New Ontario Bush Polls Investigation. the inquiry into over- classification on the Grand Trunk Pacific construction. in which he acted as coun- sel for his cousin. Mayor Hodgins. and more recently in the Dominion Govern- ment’s investigation into the affairs of the defunct Farmer-3' Bank. In personal appearance he is tall and slight. with keen features. He is a high- minded type of citizen. and one of the leading laymen in the Anglican Church in Canada. Altogether he may be expected to maintain the hizlircmitafion of the Bench in this country. He is a product of the city where he was born and raised and lies spent his entire life. excepting for vacations. which he has frequently spent in the old land. Some Critics Here. Not so unanimous is the approval of the elevation to a judgeship of Mr. James Leitch. formerly of Cornwall, The criti- cism finds root in dissatisfaction with his record as Chairman of the Ontario Rail- way Board, where he came in close con- tact with the public by reason of the frequent clashes between corporations and municipalities. which had to be decided. However. that position was one of peculi- ar difficulty, and while there is in some quarters a lurking suspicion that his translation to a new sphere may have some connection with the criticism his administration of the Railway Board has caused to be directed against the Gov- ernment. his known abilities as a lawyer may make his appointment to a judge- ship a good one. "Welcome, thtle Sister." Just when most ooplc were reconciling themselves to inde nito delay in themat- tcrf of the annexation to the city of the town of North Toronto, owing to the stub- born opposition of a. section of that mu~ nicmality’s citizens and threatened legal entanglements, along came a peremptory order of. the Ontario Municipal Board and annexation is practically an accomplished fact. Thereby. Toronto adds at one stroke a population of 6,000 souls. and an area of 2,400 acres. including large tracts of vacant lands. The annexation opens the way for a more symmetrical development of the city's territory, for the new area is much nearer to the corner of King and Yonze streets than are the outlying east- ern and western sections. It lies along Yonge street. up "over the hill," and where it has not been spoiled by cemeteries or inferior buildings, lends itself to devel- opment as a high class residential (lis- triot, Indeed. it may interest those who are inclined to take a “ilyer” in Toronto Isuburban real estate to know that the probabilities are that North Toronto sub- divisions are likely to be the next to be , built up. After them will probably come :Mr.t Home Smith‘s Humber Valley pro- ‘ per y. Real Estate StIlI Booms. One hears constantly the prediction. .that the reaction in real estate must , come soon. But as yet there is no sign of the break. Perhaps it is the fact that so many persons are suspicious of a break and are consequently cautions that is f permitting the period of advancing prices to continue so long. The chief problem in connection with North Toronto's annexation will arise out of the street railway service. The town is served by the Metropolitan Railway branch of tho York Radial, which is con 'trollcd by the Mackenzie interests. who also own the Toronto Street Railway. but jit is a different gauge, so that imer- ; change of cars is impossible. North To- ronto passengers coming into the city have therefore to transfer and have also. as yet. to pay two fares. Needless to say. 1 the railway people will keep on making them pay two fares as long as they can. A Sunday Gar Agitation. The Metropolitan cannot run cars on Sunday. so that that section of the city is gems to remain "dead" on that day unless and until a special Act of the Leg- islature is passed. changing the present )law. It is expected that this will not be accomplished without opposition. though there are few people in Toronto now who do not use the street cars on Sunday no matter how much they were opposed to them when they were inaugurated. ‘1‘ In England and Wales there are forty special schools for the blind, fiftyâ€"one for deaf, and two hundred and forty-five for defective chil- dren.

Small Fortunes Gathered In by .Collcctors in London. “London's ash barrels and gar- bage receptacles contain small for- tunes in valuables every week,” says an official of the London (Eng- land) County Council’s dcstructor works at Fulliam. “During the week-end enquiries have been made at the Council offices about a gold penknife, a. diamond ring and a valuable cut-glass decanter, which are all supposed to have found their way into the garbage boxes of houses in the West End. “Many of the curbs and valuable finds are never enquired for and are only preserve-d because of the watchful eye of the refuse collector. The sorters come across queer finds at times, although the West End ash rakch often appropriate the valuables before our collectors arâ€" rive. _ “I heard some time ago of one of these persons who found a. chate- laine bag in which were a. set of false teeth, a purse with ten sover- eigns and a cheque book. As the latter was ‘no use he returned it and received a reward.” At the Fulliam destructor works there is a room set apart for the valuable articles found among the house refuse of London. '1‘ A WONDERFUL CASE. Three Months in Hospital and Come out Uiiciii'cd. Zuni-Buk Cured Him in ch Weeks Mr. Fred Mason, the well-known upholsterer and mattress manufac- turer of St. Andrew’s, N.B.,'says :â€" “I had eczema. on my knee, which caused me terrible pain and incon- venience. The sore parts would itch and burn and tingle, and then when rubbed or scratched, would become very painful. When the knee got warm, it burned worse, and the itching and burning and smarting were almost unbearable. I tried various remedies, but got no better, so I decided to go to Montreal and take special treat- ment. I received treatment at the Montreal General Hospital for thirteen weeks, but at the end of that time I was not cured, and al- most gave in. A friend advised me to give Zam-Buk a trial. “Almost as soon as applied Zam- Buk stopped the itching and the ir- ritation. I persevered with the balm, and it was soon evident that it would do me good. Each day the pain was reduced, the sore spots began to heal, and by the time I had used a few boxes of Zam-Buk I was quite cured. “Since then Zam-Buk has cured blood-poison in my finger. For eczema, bloodâ€"poisoning, piles, ulcers, sores, abscesses, vari- cose ulcers, bad leg, cold sores, chapped hands, cuts, burns, bruises and all skin injuries and diseases, Zam-Buk is without equal. 500. box all druggists and stores or post free from Zamâ€"Buk 00., Toronto, for price.
