CIGARS, ONT. ‘9 TOBACCOS PIPES, THE RIVER WILL NOW BE KEPT CLEAR That is What Solicitor Hopkins Says About It. A special meeting of council was called ‘ on Friday afternoon at four o’clock in the clerk’s office to discuss with the poiice commissioners the removal of obstructions from the river. Aids. Crandeli, Jackson. Graham and Touchburn were present. Judge Dean was in, the mayor was unable to be present till the last“ few mtnutee 0f of the meeting,so it rested upon Magistrate Steers to do the discussing for the comm- isionere. He stated their one as followe:â€"- A few days ago the commissioners were asked to do what is possible to keep the river clear for navagatlon. I was of the opinion that to obstruct the river was a criminal cfi'ence. but on looking up the statute I find it: may be a public nuisance but unless it endangers life, a. nuisance is not regarded as a criminal nuisance and cannot be prosecuted as such. The persons who were likely to gfve evidence in this case are not willing to swear that the logs are a danger to life, hence, I hesitated in having this matter treated as a criminal one. Some other course may be open. I thought we might abate the nuisance. That is: give the men notice that if they did not remove the logs we would take steps to remove them. There would be no use giving that notice unless we had the means of carrying it out. So it is to ask the coun- cil to provide the money to take these measures if necessary that the commlslon- ers requested you to meet them to-day. AXd: Grahaxhâ€"ls there not: a by-law covering that? Aid. Touchburn â€"We do not want to do anything unreasonable with the mill Aid. Jacksonâ€"~I believe there are orders-ln-councll that: mske it possible to prosecute for the obstruction. Mr. Hopkins was defendant In such a case snd discovered that his case was hopeless since these orders covered the cases exactly. Ald. Gnhsmâ€"Tho river was kept clear for I you or two when Mr. McIntyre wnl magistrate. Aid. Jacksonâ€"It seems to me that when the boat is heavily loaded and and pounds agelnets the logs there is danger enough to life. If a hole should be punched in the boat, the panic might easily hsve serious results. notice that; if the logs are not out: of the way I will lay an infoxmation next: morn- ing, and if they are not out 1 will loy it. Mr. Steers â€"-The council had better give Mr. Hopkins instructions now. Ald. Grahamâ€"The commissioners had better do it. Aid. Crandallâ€"Of course it is a danger to life. Mr. Steers -Well he is your sollcltor; we have none, but if you say so I now instruct him to go on. Aid. Touchburnâ€"Merchants are not anxious to have proceedings taken against: the mill men because they employ a good deal of labor. Ald. Crandell â€"- The merchants are anxious to have people coming to the town. In the meantime Mr. Hopkins had been asked to come over and talk about his experience in such cases. He said:â€" No doubt: there are orders in council that enable you to prosecute anybody. They apply to cribs, tugs, steamers and 10gs. I had them at my office. If I can’t find them there they can easily be got from the department. Mr. Hopklnsâ€"lee me a chance for a week and I will take the logs out: in qulck order. I wlll give the mill men written Mr. Hopkinsâ€"There is just: one thlng ; when the dredge began work, government gave the boat men notice that the river in that reglon was closed to navageblon. We must see if that has been cancelled and if not, have it: done. Then we shall have a. clear case. Magistrate Steersâ€"Let Mr. Hopkins do it. TAKE CARE AND NOT CONTRACT CONSUMPTION The Toronto World gives a good deal of aitantion to the question of preventing consumption. A recent article is as follows: “According to the editor of The Canadian Journal of Medicine and Sur- gery physicians have a higher public duty to perform than merely cure their patients. They should become “teachers of medical science to their clients, show- ing the importance of fresh air nutritious food in preserving health and preventing tuberculosis, instead of merely utilizing these agencies to cure a disease which has already undermined a patient’s health. By establishing such a propaganda fewer prescriptions would be sent to the pharm- acists, but the butcher would sell more meat, the grocer more butter and egzs and perhaps we would not hear so much emasculated talk about Christian Science Sensible Advice on How to Avoid the Great White Plague an-.i Faith Cure.” Our contemporary’s method of treating consumption is an ex- cellent one; he would prevent it. We thoroughly agree with him. In order to combat this great evil more. than sanator- in and isolation are necessary. The pub- lic have to be educated to observe the? laws of health, and no better start can be made in this direction than in the school \ house. A duty also rests on parents and the family physician is not true to his cli. ents who does not try to prevent rather than cure diseases. As the subject of tuber- culosis is such a. burning question to-day we have much pleasure in reproducing the following excellent advice from the journal 1 above quoted : “It is quite true, that the systematizedi life and careful Observances ofa sanator-l ium lessen the dangers of infection to' nurses and doctors. The educative value of such a training to patients and their friends is also considerable, while the fact that a respectable percentage of cures re- sults when the treatment is begun in due time is very encouraging. And yet, the prevention of tuberculosis would be more complete, or to put it differently, a greater .number of the population would not be- come candidates for tuberculosis, if parents would provide suitable nourishment for their children, and if teachers would ex- plain to their pupils the nature of the different foods, and the reasons why some- of them are more nourishing than others- ‘Children should be taught to use butter, cream, bacon, eggs and milk. to avoid cakes and soft bread, and to prefer hard bread and biscuit, the mastication of which helps to keep the teeth in a cleanly and undecayed condition. The necessity of breathing pure air should be constantly placed before them, so that, in after life? they will not tolerate re-breathed air. Boys and girls should be encouraged to continue taking exercise after leaving school. One of the chief advantages of the bicycle is that the rider takes his exercise in the open air. When tuberculosis has once firmly grasped a man’s lungs, he may breathe pure air from his reclining chair on the veranda of a sanatorium. but he need not have visited the sanatorium had he developed his lungs by tramp- ing over the hills or riding over country road 5, avoiding crowded assemblies in ili~ventilated rooms and the office or the shop. where the windows are never open‘ ed. The air of Canada is as pure as that of any country. we find it 001d in winter and shutting ourselves up in an unven- tilated rooms we enjoy the warm. re. breathed air. It seems rather late in the day for a patient, who is attacked by tuberculosis, to reform his habit in this particular, and yet a change to breathing pure outside air has. in numerous instances, accomplished cures of consump‘ tion, unattainable by other means. Suit- able tood is necessary in preventing tuber- culosis, but, whether it be the cold air of January or the warm air of July, pure out. side air is equally necessary for this purpose.” Thursday of last week was such a “bright summer day" as is referred to in the extract above. and the general effect of the cemetery on that day inspired and emphasized the sentiments of that pass- age. The far bright heavens hung out a few banners of cloud but mostly their empyrean heights were of transparent blue. The sun made the whole firmament gleam with light as though but new- created, and thrust his pulsing beams against the soddy graves as in the hope to reach and warm their occupants. The tearful river passed in silence, and ever and anon the winds sobbed in the treetops while two thousand people trod with reverent steps among their dead and laid the floral emblems of their heart-break at these graves. Human voices rose in prayer and song, instruments of music sounded out their plaintive melody, but-found no echo in the graves, and not a sleeper’s rest was brokenâ€"they sleep so well. Were Visited and Decorated bv the Oddfellows o 1 Thursday Lasr THE GRAVES WHERE THEIR DEAD ARE BURIED It was Decoration Day and the people joined the three-linked brotherhood in their beautiful ceremonies. At about two o'clock the Crandelia carried a very large crowd to the cemetery. Among them were the Oddfeilows in regalia and carry- ing exquisite floral emblems and designs. Great numbers went out by carriage and on foot. Noble Grand McDiarmid was master at ceremonies. The citizens’ band diseoursed in music. Fourteen graves were decorated by the lodge. The last one was that of Conductor Jobbifit, who was the only member buried this year. Never before was such a profusion of flowers laid upon the graves. Nor was the preper spirit: {or such exercises lacking. With an earnest tenderness, as of those who are glad to place their tokens of love at the tombs of those they can neither reclaim nor forgeb, and mi: reminded even by their own ailments of their kinship to the buried, the people went: about their solemn duties. “They bowed their heads at going out And straightway entered another palace of the king More beautiful than this and vastcr.’ “Our citv ofthe dead presents many features that harmonize with tender feelings and the emotions kindled by the presence of our dead. On a bright summer day one can walk among the graves and have no Wonder that their ten- ants sleep so well. Death's terrors are half removed with such a resting-place in prospect.

Exhibition “Educational and Entertaining, Ag- gressive and Progressive,” are the very appropriate watch-words adopted by the ' Toronto Industrial Exhibition this year, which will be held from August 27th to September 8th. This is the twenty-sec- ond successive year of Canada’s great! Exposition at Toronto, and each year has not only seen an improvement in th'e: arrangements as compared with the vearsg that have gone, but’ the quality of the stock is very far ahead of what it was at the beginning thus proving the lnestim- able value of Fairs such asthatheld annual- ly at Toronto. It is an old story to say that the exhibition immediately approaching will be superior to all its predecessors. but it can safely be said that arrange- ments have been made, and negotiations are pending. that warrant the statement that the Toronto Fair of 1900 will fully _maintain the reputation it has gained of "being the best of all that are annually held. Agood deal of the space has al- ready been taken up. and a number of entries have been made, but there are so many divisions comprised in the prize list, with its 131 classes and $35,000 in premiums, that there is ample provision for all ; and, talking of those divisions, it is interesting to note that there are no fewer than 55 in class 128, knitting, shirts, quilts, cloths, etc.; 354 in class 54, poultry ; and an average of 15 or 17 in each of the two dozen classes devoted to} horses and cattle. This will give some idea not only of the scope of Toronto’s ireat Exposition, but also of the oppor- tunities offered to secure a prize. It is a little early to refer to what is promised in the way of entertainment, but when it is ’ stated that $30,000 is spent annually on i this department, visitors have ample , guarantee that they will be abundantly - provided for, and the admission to the . Toronto Exhibition with its myriads of attractions is only 250. Entries close on August 4th, and prize lists can be had by addressing H. J. Hill, Manager Indust- rial Exhibition, Toronto. As last year. so this, the exhibition will be inaugurated - on Tuesday evening. August 28th, with a - brilliant Military Tattoo. Reduced rates will be given and excursions held on all lines of travel. â€"An earnest of the intention of the United States government to allow the people of Cube to choose their own form of government, end decide whether they shell become an Independent republic or caat in their lot with the United States, has been givenin the proclamation lately luned by President.

The race began at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. from New York. when the Kaiser Wil- helm der Grosse started for Bremen via Oherbourg and Southampton. The following morning at the same hour the Deutschland left for Hamburg. calling at Plymouth and Cherbourg. The Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse will make her first call at Cherbourg. and will then cross the English channel to Southampton. With the superior speed of the Deutsohland, and the fact that she is to go to Plymouth direct, a matter of only 5 hours from London. many steamship agents are of the opinion that the Kaiser’s mails will not be in London many hours before those of the Deutschland. even allowing for the 24 hours start betwen the two ships. gross which declares against the annex- ation of the Inland. â€"The most manifest possible of swind- les is being extensively advertised in Montreal and other cities in the Domin. ion by circulars signed C. E. MeKey 00., Hudson building, New York, promising four per cent. a month on moneys forward_ ed to the advertisers for investment, in amounts of not less than fifty dollars. They also promise dividends out of surplus profits. They also promise to return half the money invested when asked for and the other half on thirty days' notice. This last is to make people’s minds easy in sending it. The usual way of working these operations is to use the capital of re- mittances to pay the interest and occasioâ€" nal dividends, aresult which is so satis- factory to the investor that he never wants his capital back. He invests all he can and gets all his friends to do so. Money pours into the till of the advertiser. As long as the stream continues to in- crease he goes on paying interest with pleasure. The moment it begins to dim- inish he disappears with enormous loot. The right thing to do with such circulars is to send them to the New York superin. tendent of police.
