E!" ”I. ié.;1t?iu‘5§_i§ifww' THE TORONTO STAR says hard things of the suicide, and calis for a. revival Of former execration. In so far as the Star's mo-tiVe is to deter: men from this awful business, it is good ; but the suicide is the world’s most tragic subject for sympathy. It may be that the Stars writer has not taken the real tmeasure of the ghastly griefs that drive a. man to make assault upon the citidel of his own existence, break into the temple of the soul, and drive thence the. life of the building, or slip the cords that, moor him to. the shores of time and commit himself to the mighty floods that 7 shall bear him, rudder- 1055 to unknown strands. Most men, doubtless, do not fly to such release till reasons: throne comes tumbling down ' in ruins amid the anarchy of V the mind. To such our awe-struck sympathy is due; and for those who seeixs‘ hope’ 9 lights go out, and the balance of life’s value shift. to the debit Ede, make violent exit from the world, our words must not betoo severe. It is no trifle that make?“ a Mind“ scuttle his ship in“ Mr. Flavelle waxed caustic be- cause. of the slight tinge, of railery in our article. 'Ihe whole prowedâ€" ing Called for a. good deal stern- er treatment, and if withholding it is not appreciated by the board. there is nothing to do but to reâ€" mind both it and the public that the town has been, in recent yea”, the victim of too many blundering schemes promoted by presumably leading citizens. The useless $400 im‘estigaticn of the Fenelon Falls power, the misplaced fire-hall with: its $2500 deficit, and the farcical street light, are examples In 31. these Mr. Flavelle was a. foremost figure, and to be personally assail- ed by him for making public what looks toward a. repetition of those blunders, is a. little tiresome. We haVe opposed the other recent ones, and are to-tlay Vindicated in that opposition, and unless the library board de ..ls frankly with the public, we cannot endorse its work. [113?me mm m and one can scarcelyhelp being a little curious to Flax'elle real ‘ . of fact, both are incorrect; . our e right, and no member publication of spirit in which it was done; we have no apology to ofler for either. We believe the figures should have been made public, and that the circum- stances of the case fully justified the slightly jocular tone of the article in which .that waz5done. The Public Library is a. public institution, and one‘ in which the people have taken a. good deal of interest of late, land into which they have paid, and are asked still to pay a large amount of money. Months ago the board undertook to negoti: ate for Mr. Garmie’s grant, and secure a. new building. During all the time‘since then they were given ~ mpathetic and practical support by all classes of the community. They employed an architect and spent time and ~_ money in securing the proper. plans. These their architect said provided for a building that would cost $12,900. The plans are put before the builders and are found to be those of a build- ing that will cost from $18,000 to $20,000. . Then to conceal such a colossal blunder 0n somebody’s part, th: board .decides to keep the people in ignorance of where they have landed. The architect pled that in justiCe to his clieuts, the figures should 'be: kept secret. If he drew‘ 520.000 plans for a. $12,000 build- ing, he may hate made that request, quite as much in his own interests as those of his clients. Whatever may become of either him or his clients. we maintain that in justice to the people of this town, the con- tents of the tenders should have been ’ made public as soon as they were opened. In no other way can the board retain public confidence. It must be admitted that in this use the contcnts of the tenders do not greatly enhance that confidence, cut concealing them can only make matters worse. That is nat the sort of policy by “hich the board will get the public to vote money for a site TflB PUBLI: UBIARYW " ’ Objection has been raimd by mem- bers of the‘Public Library Board, because we published the figures the tenflers recently opened for the new building. Secretary Hardy has protested in these columns, and at a recent Council meeting Mr. W. Fla" velle administered a sharp personal rebuke to the representative of this paper. » Mr. Hardy’s letter was efiectively INLWL.

B. Fee. “I will give that lot south of my own place, and if it is not big enoughl will buy another beside it and give them both. Then there is a third one that the town can get for $200, and it will have a. capital site that averlooks the tovm." “The SCUgog will rust Iron the last- est of any water I ever saw," said Engineer Hammond at the pump- house. “I guess it is because there is so much acid from decay- ing vegetation in it.” “I heard the frogs singing in the flats south of town a. couple Qf'nights last week.” said Mr. S. J. Fox. “That must be a. sign of an open fall.” “The WatchmanJVarder has done a great deal in the last 10 years to stir the farmers ‘of this county to better methods,” said Mr. D. C. Ross. of Lorneville. Mr. E. H. Hopkins _: “No doubt the people. who stole my goose thought they were doing a. clever thing, but I don't think so. It was no trick at. all ; we simply left our stud in the water-com at Dougall’s and made no effort to protect it. Then we needed all our provisions ; we had forgotten some and had to actually borrow stuff to eat back there. It is no joke to take provisions from any party heading into the wilds." “I enjoyed my hunt very much," said Rev. G. W. Henderson, “It is some years since I wasout be- fore, and at that time I thought‘ I would not miss a. year again.‘ but never managed to get away; till now. Yes, I hit, two, for I: learned to shoot years agp. Mr“ Ellis has the instinct of thehunHl er ; he puts out the dogs and then usually gets in ahead of the deer somewhere.

We don’t want to have the bots; sheds closed and have to leave our horses in the streets where they will likely run ‘a'Way and we have to pay the no summer at all. After that; the seasons will 'be normal again."

They are very high and “That new bridge south of Victoria Road is made of cement and will last 500 years.” said County Councillor Staback. Dr. Kenny, V. S. r “Asphalt is a. very ‘bad paving for horses to travel on ; it is umrielding and very Slippy. I doubt if $1000 would pay for the horsa that would be ruined on Kent-st with that pavement in one year. I have seen a capital road made of bituminous pitch with stones mix- ed into it. It is put down hot and when it sets it makes an ideal road, hard, but a trifle yielding and not slippy." Mr. Jas. Heap of Selkirk, Man. : “When I left Lindsay 16 years ago it had a populdtion of 5,000. It has not grown since as much as 1 expected. I thought it would be double that now. I am feeling hearty, and sometimes say to my friends that I shall re- main in business for 20 years lonb- er and then retire.” “ "I recently read the theory of a man who attempted to explain the wet Cold weather of the past year.” said Mr. Ruben Morgan. “He said that the sun spots appear every 63 years and are visible for three years at a time. Those years are. wet and coldâ€"each colder and wetter than the former one. Two years ago the spots appeared, so that next year will 'be worse than this one ; in fact there will be Mr. R.
