At Meeting In Toronto Reprisentatives of Civic Bodies All Over the Pro. vince Put 1nemselves cn Record In Favor of Municipal Systems All Over the Province and Ask Com- mission For Report. 2 Toronto, Nov. 15.--Men af all shades of political opinion have voiced them- selves in support of this new project, which when consummated vill be the means. of making the Ontario fruit aod maiket garden industries rank #oreniost on the American continent. The scheme outlived, though in an embryo state, will connect Kingston n Owen Sound and Toronto with All that will be required > the land covered Hydro poles and wires, this elim. ing future easement expenditures { The power 13 already there, the tracks need to be laid and cars purchased. This also will enable the commission ito sv-ply small quantities of power to small towns and villages. The following resolution was --~assed solved: That in the opinion of necting, representing municipali- , it is desirable that a system of tric railways, including street rail- be owned by the municipalities, 1blished and built, and further, he Hydro-Eleetric Power Com- on be requested to look into the ability and practicability of jbuilding such a system and to furnish 'a report thereon to this association. "In order that the request to the tHydro-Electric Power Commiesion be made definite. it is further suggested nat the initial report should refer only to road following the F transmissien lines of the commi Wat present existing and contemp in the Niagara power zone, extending 'throughout Western Ontario and the Midland district. ~It is desired that 'the report shall cover cost of construe ition, cost of operation and prubable izevenue in each case." The ebove reaoluton, passed by the io Electrical Associaion, vhich 'held a meeting for this purpose at the icity ball yesterday, when representa- 'dives from 30 municipalities were pre- gent, was carried usanimou:ly. | b Although the essential feature of the eonfercnce was the discussion on the | feasibility of layirg down radial rail. | mera particularly along the taken by the commission's tension wires, the president, cx- or Geary, in his opening remaik: dwelt upon the many benefits derived froin tha adoption and uee of the Hy- dro power. "We have every reason to be thaik- ful that the Hydro-Electric Commis- sion has proved such a splendid sue- cess," he declared, "especially know- ing, as we do, that it has been lhe means of relieving the municipalities of Qutario of the intolerable burden 'of the control of public utilities by private companies, eof reason to be proud of the the Government was bold enouech to regulate the electric supply, which is proving to be such a boon to the people.

Many well-known electrical experts from all over the province were in at. tendance. They came more to receive suggestions than to offer them. Many objections were presented and Hon. Adam Beck answered as many as he gould with the information at Lis dis- posal.

The Dominion Railway Commission last spring refused to ap- prove the ro selected by the rail way company 'on objections filed by property owners in the Humber Val- ley.

Raney, K.C., who appeared | for himself and other property own- ers, suggested that the statute did pot authorize an appeal like the ove in this case, but Mr. Borden did not agree with bim He said, however, "T think somo change will become necessary in the law if appeals upon questions of fact continue to como before us. The Rail- way Commission conducts riany hear- ings quite informally and decides many questions of fact in a somewhat summary manuer and quite properly, too, because it is desirable that the commission should proceed expedi- tiously ard with as little formality 8s possible, The result is, however, that when an appeal is taken to the Privy Council. the record of testimony taken before the commission is soine- times informal, and, perahps, not as complete as might be desired. "Then again, very often we are call. ed upon to pass upon questions of detail, which we are hardly qualified to deal with. For example, we ars asked to make orders regarding gradi- ents at highway crossings and the like, 1 think that either some other method of appeal will have to be found, or appeals to us must be limited to those cases which are certified by the Lail- way Commission." 8ocial Justice Demanded.

Ristori, the celebrated italian | actress of her day, was boro of & ney ble family, but ber illustrious carees added to the glory of her ancestors. i trequently went to ber receptions, and many were the pleasant chats we bad over a cup of tea. It was on one of these occasions that she told me the interesting story of now when she was once acting in Mads rid ber snccess was So colossal tha Queen Isabella, who was then-on the Spanish throne, sent for her, desiring to speak to her in the royal bos. The queen expressed her pleasure in the en- thusiasm and then sald to Mme. Ris | tori: 3 "Anything you ask me Is granted." Without an lustaut's hesitation Mme. Ristori replied to the queen: "Madame, If you really wish to give ne whatever | ask | will beg you to re prieve the poor tnnn who, as I read this morning, has been sentenced to death and Is to be garroted tomorrow." 'Fhe queen hesitated a few seconds before she grnuted this wish. But the reprieve wus signed, and the conde. ed man was, to his great astonishment, released on the eve of his execution, little dreaming that he owed bis iife to the tulented actress. It was typical of Mme Ristori's noble, generous na- ! ture to ask the queen to grant her this request ruther than to ask for some jewel or other tangible souvenir to band down to her descendants.--Fred- erick 'lownsend Martin in Ainsiee's Maguzine.

Doubtless their voice re- sounds comfortably in the empty spaces of thelr own chest and bead and this prevents them from knowing that it does not penetrate to the andl tory apparatus of other people. { To be a lecturer it is not only neces- sary to know your subject, but the art of enunciation and audible delivery needs to be learned also. And the sound of one's voice In OnE'R-OWD ears 1s a most misleading guide. Buch peo- ple ought to be tralued by being made to read or speak from one end of & large room to somebody teaching thera at the other end, when they would svon find out that tones which will pass muster In a cofiversation are useless a public speech. In'conversation we carelessly stur half our syllables, leaving our iptertfocutor to guess them from the confext, but this will not do in a public speech, where people are too far off to catch in the ordinary Eoglish way--of thoy ing a strong ucceut on a singles syllable
