The . by-law was carried by a tremendous imajoxity. The introduction of elec- :tt’iClty as a motive power will. no I doubt, be a great benefit to the city, l as it is estimated that power will be i supplied to the manufacturers at less ’ than one half of what it costs them now to run their machinery. Cheap llight will also be furnished to the lhouseholders. The smoke nuisance F will also become a thing of the past 'and will mean better health and cleaner clathes. The passing away, ; however, of the big smoke stacks will i be a matter of regret. Those majes tic towering chimneys with the immense volumes of black smoke pouring out like a volcano in eruption 'give a sort of dignity and peculiar lgrandeur to a city which the flueless p factories of the coming age will never .mtpire. SANDERS DRESS CUTTING SCHOOL 31 Erie Street. Stratford. OIL. Canada. To enable all to learn. we teach on cash or instal- ment plan.

Vve have taught over 2.000 dressmaers and guarantee to give $500 to anyone who cannot learn between the ages of 14 and 40. You cannot learn d: essrraking es thorough as this course teaches it it you woflt in shops for years. Beware of imitations. as we employ no one outside the school.

LEARN DRESSMAKINQ BY MAi‘L It was feared at one time that our lcity was likely to have an epidemic ‘of small pox. but owing to the ener- getic and prompt action of the Board of Health the disease is about stamp- ed out. At the beginning of the outbreak twolarge tents were pro- cured and pitched in a sheltered grove near the Avon river. Here the patients were attended by skilled nurses and medical practitioners. The School Board has ordered that all the school children shall be vaccinat- ed Within a specified time. Quite a number, however. are opposed to vaccination and there may be some‘ difficulty in enforcing the mandamus of the Board. In conversation with one of our leading doctors recently he told me that vaccination was beneficial If pure vaccene was used, but there is a danger that malignant virus may be introduced into the system and incalculahle harm done thereby. The annual banquet given by the retiring Chairman of the P. School Board to the members of the Board and the male principals of the Public Schools was held on Monday evening, the 13th inst [t w s a very enjoy- able afiair. These banquets are be- coming very popular. not only because they promote good fellowship among the truStees and teachers. but also for the Opportunity they afl'ord for the interchange of ideas and Opinions relating to school matters. Among the topics discussed were Military Training, Out-door Ganes and Music f We sure hnving ideal winter weath- fer The slenghing has been most gexcellent with none of the discom- ‘9 {arts caused by deep snow, :9 there g is not much more than a foot on the .Ievel. and there have been no high, ; winds to drift into high banks. A champion hockey match between the “Indians" of this city and " The Dutch Companie” 01' Berlin took place on Monday evening. the 13th, in Ber- lin. The Dutchmen were nnmerci fully scalped by the Indians as the score stood 10 '10 4 in favor of the latter when the game ended. It was a wild game from start to finish, and the penalty time keepers were busy keeping tab on the roosters who decorated the fence. The peeple of Durham are evidently in favor ol the abolition of the bar judging from the substantial majority in favor of the by-law. It is to be sincerely honed the law will be pro- perly enforced and thus give local Option a chance to prove whether it is really a benefit to a community or not On Saturday evening and Sunday (11th . 12th) our city was favored with a visit from the Salvation Army Territorial étafl Band. They are a fine aggregation of players in every particular. Their splendid music was much appreciated, and although the weather was unfavorable crowds turned out to hear them. 2 The outside work of the new Nor. mal School is about completed. When finished it will be a superb building, and together with the ideal site which it occupies will prove a great sttrsction to student teachers throughout the Province. The sudden death of Miss Chillman, lady superintendent of the General Hospital here, came as a great shock to everyone. Miss Chillman took a severe attack of La Grippe while on her way back from Hamilton where she had been visiting friends. and in less than a week she was dead. Classic City Chronicles.

The imitation may fail, Dean Farthing is thoroughly in favor of local option where it can be enforced, but he declares his opposi- tion to the measure in Kingston. 88 he is convinced that it would only increase the number of drinking places. He holds that aosolute pro- hihition would be even harder to enforce. The majority of men, he declares, do not regard the taking of a glass of alcoholic liquor asa sin, and so resent the curtailing of their liberty in this respect. It is neces- sary. therefore. in the higher inter- ests of the country to adopt the dispensary system in communities which are not ready for local prohi- bitionâ€"Toronto News. He points out that the dispensary under Government authority would give thorough control over the sale of liquor. make the regulation of hours absolute, would do away with the evils of the bar as a place of temptation, would destroy the treat. ing system, would preserve the liber- ty of those who desire to obtain liquor by giving them a legal way of getting it, and would not lessen the revenue from the trade which the country now obtains, as all the pro- fits would go wherever the Govern- ment might direct. “ Most earnest- 1y,” he says, “would I ask the fair- minded men, who are nor. what would be called ‘temperance men’-â€"thou2h I hope they are temperateâ€"to give their serious thought to th 9 question. Moderate drinkers will readily admit the evils of the bar, and especially of the treating system; and, I feel sure. will gladly support a scheme which would remove those evils and yet Preserve the liberty of the citizen to legally obtain it, if he so desire.” He admits that there would be pos- sible evils in connection with the system. He perceives that men might buy in quantities. but points out that they now buy in quantities, and that in one night in a modern saloon they would drink more than if they carried a package to some private room for consumption. But while Dean Farthing frankly confes- ses that he is not blind to the possible evils. he contends that the dispensary sysrem would minimize those evils. Dean Farthing, of Kingston in his letter to The Whig, declares un- equivocally for abolition of the bar by local option wherever it can be adOpted. and elsewhere by the dis- pensary system mod1fied to meet condittons in Canada. He wou.d have alcoholic liquors sold only in the larger centres of pepulation and in those communities absolutely Ill.- der the control of the Provincid Government. He would have th a liquor sold in packages and would nor. allow it to be consumed on the premises.

At tne first symptoms of catarrh, Hyomei should be used, There is no other treatment like it or just as good; none that can take its place and cure so surely. so quickly and at so little cost.

The trouble is that they are afiected with catarrh and unless immediate steps are taken to remedytheir condi- tion the disease will increase spread through the delicate mucous mem brane that lines the air passages, and a chronic and serious stage of the disease will result. Within the last few weeks, more peeple than usual have complained of frequent sneezing fits, tickling in the throat. stoppage in the nose, Spasm4 of coughing, raising of mu- cous, droppings in the throat and of- fensive breath, and have asked them- selves what is the matter. Many People in Durham are Askmg' That Question of Late. and asked for a night’s lodging. He had only 10c and was evidently “up against it’gin dead earnest. Hesaid he was a carriage maker but couldn’t strike a job. Iscrutinized him pretty closely and could see that he had once . been in better circumstances There was an air of respectability about him in spite of his shabby clothes and dissipated face. The reason he was in hard luck was plain 1? seen. Whiskey had done its work perfectly. and its victim was a sam. ple of the goods it invariably produc es if it gets a fair chance to do its work. Poor fellow, I fancied he felt out of place in that room among bright-looking, well-dressed young men chatting gailv with one and anather. No doubt he were just as zood clothes himself one day, and. the memories of those happy times still cling to him. But in an evil hour he took the first downward step and he has been travelling in that direction ever since.
