‘Next Monday is Victoria Day, and no doubt lots of monev will be spent in fire-crackers and other more expensive explosives. We have no objection to the boys enjoying themselves in a proper spirit, in a pr0per way and at the pmper time. It must be remember- ed however, that last year there was considerable complaint from country peOple, whose horses were frightened on the night before the holiday. Some felt like boy- cotting Durham,'or, at least, go- ing to the extent of doing their own trading elsewhere. This, we are pleased to believe, was only a momentary impulse, and the char- itable spirit soon reâ€"asserted it- self. We don’t want to antagonize the people and drive away trade by persisting in any conduct det- rimental to public safety and pub- lic well-being. WThe town. the town council, and the town con- stable are a unit in preserving good order. The boys, too, are all with us when they once realize the evil of improper conduct. If the boys decide on holding a demonstration of any kind on Sat- urday they should endeavor to keep away from the main streets and thus avoid trouble and per- haps accident. The constable has power to make arrests for mis- conduct, but he would much prefer that no irregularities occur. We believe the majority have a kind-l 1v feeling towards our present‘ constable, and although we. may appear optimistic we are not look; ing for any kind of misconduct. On Monday night when there will be practically no business, we pre- sume a larger measure of free- dom will be allowed. In any event. it is to be hoped that care will be exercised so that no prOpm‘ty may be damaged. Since the sinking of the Lusitln- ia a strong anti-Grerman feeling has sprung up in different parts of the world andg reat destruc- tion of pronerty is reported from some quarters. It is too bad that it should be so, but Germ-an treach- ery. the German spy system. and German disregard of all internaâ€" tional treaties are re5ponsible for the trouble. There are loyal Germans. and there are Germans who are dislocvâ€" al. The unfortunate thing about the unhappy situation is the good and the bad are liable to meet with the same treatment, and the treatment. in many cases, will be harsh and unjust. Some Germans are loyal because! they are satisfied with British in-‘ stitutions. Other Germans are loyâ€" al simply because they have to be. Unless the latter class of German is known by his former conduct it is hard to distinguish him from the purely loyal. To differentiate between the true and the false is not an easy matter, and the punv ishment, in some cases, can meet‘ with little justification. It is re- grettable to think that an ill-feel- ing should grow up between two peOples who have lived on the most friendly terms till the com- mencement of the war. THE ANTI GERMAN FEELING The British subject with a Ger-1 man name, who is not pro-German in .his feelings, and offensive and disloyal in his conduct, deserves British fair play and British pro- tection, but the German citizen, or citizen of any other nationality, who shows himself disloyal, is deserving of no such leniency and should be punished severely and punished in a hurry.

And Americans are questioning the doctrine of Germany that her citizens can assume citizenship in other countries and still have a connection with and a duty to the fatherland. There are few apologists for the Lusitania outrage in the States. And though :ancient Italy grew the first crop of Caesars, the Italv of to-day has nouse for the breed. Italy is very much of a country of free government, of nonular institution, of a king with a parliamentary title only. Italy and France are more like one another than either is to Ger- many. And Italy and France think a good deal like 'the people of the United States. The leaven of a nation gm erning itself was filst planted in England, and has smead in many another direction.

If Italy is due to join in with the allies almost immediately Greece is likely to follow; so are the Balkan States. All these countries will get some share of Austria, of Turkey.

Lennox cun- ningly incorporated in the carved consuls supporting the eaves of the Toronto City Hall building the letters spelling out his own name, for an aeroplanic-citizen futurity to admire, he as: only following an old-established local precedent, says The Toronto Star Weekly. The one day’s furore. which knowledge of that fact caused, some years ago, was but the taXpayers’ remonstrance against any possible idea on the architect's part that he owned this flourishing burg and its costly municipal build- ings in fee simple. Indignation died away before it came to a pass where the architect was peremptorily or- dered to chisel out the offending alphabetical memorial in stone. In the earlier days of the city it was ”v- on the north side of Bloor street, a short distance westerly from Yonge. There stands the long brick row built inthe late sixties by Alfred H. St. Germain and known to the neigh- borhood as the St. Germain terrace, ‘trom the stone inscription in the {centre of the row. It is prominent enough to be easily discernable even at night time from across the street. It reads: “The A. H. St. Germain! Buildings. Erected 1865.” The fact is that A. H. St. Germain erected both of the strikingly similar rows. He builded well. As any of the oc- cupants, either on Bloor or Victoria streets, will tell you, there is not a tremble or a shake to any floor in the house. But Alfred H. St. Germain has anotherâ€"a totally different but what ‘should be an outstandingflclaim on .Toronto's memory than these twin } terraces, upstanding and comfortable : as the day completed. practically lhalf a century back.

It was a harmless sort of self-glorifying whim that offended no one, because every builder did it. Thereuis- a, most interesting exam- ple of the crstom which users of the Belt Line will have 'prgpably noticed A. H. St. Germain was born at. King-j ston, 0nt., in 1827. He was the son. of Hyacinthe Le Mere St. Germain. The latter was a lineal descendant ol Rudolph St. Germain, who was a companion of Jacques Cartier in‘ the discovery and exploration of the Canadas. All of Mr. St. Germain’s early life was spent under the sha« dow of the guns of old Fort From tenac. Before leaving there, in 1849. having embraced journalism, he was one of the proprietors of the King- ston Herald, one of the oldest papers in the colony. The California gold fevr, which was raging at the time. attracted him from the editorial chair; but, after tempting fortune “It .

But when a woman was the subject of dispute some other cause was invented in or- der to keep her name out of the mat- ter. At times when the ingenuity of the participants failed them in invent- ing a cause they would resort to ab- surd expedients. \Iiss Cary Randolph many years ago was a belle in Chmleston. S. 0. Among her suitors were Robert Fitz- Hugh and I’e1cy Bryce. both South Carolinians. Miss Randolph was not averse to setting. her suito1s against one another. It gratified her amour propre. But in this case she went too fa r. One day while she was walking with Fitz-Hugh Bryce passed them. The lady smiled on him and invited him to join them. She knew that neither would relish the presence of the oth. er. but this did not trouble her; she wished her friends to see her with one of the men who were known to be devoted to her on each side of her. Having paraded her lovers before her friends she turned in the direction . of her home and on arriving there: dismissed them. Had she asked them ‘ to go in with her there might have' been no unfortunate result. Had she asked one of them in it would have been tantamount to an expression of preference. This, too. would have end- ed the matter. for they were both gen- tlemen and either would have taken his dismissal as final. Leaving them to walk away together was the worst thing she could have done. They proceeded some distance. re- marking upon the weather and such other makeshift tepics: then when they were about to part Fitz-Hugh said to Bryce: “I was surprised at your intrusion.” “The lady invited me." “That-was common politeness.” “If you think yourself aggrieved you have a right to reparation.” vv -‘ Both men were ready ,to explode,‘ but Fitz-Hugh repressed his feelings for the time and. turning on his heel. walked away. As he proceeded jeal- ousy got the better of him. and. seek- ing his friend Walter Raymond, be com- missioned him to take a challenge to Bryce. Raymond asked the“ cause and when told of it replied that he would I have nothing to do with an affair that would bring in the name of a lady. whereupon Fitz-Hugh told him to make up a pretext to be given to the world as the cause of the duel. Ray- mond. after some thought. decided that l the ostensible reason for the quarrel ‘ was to be that Bryce had called Fitz- 1 Hugh a redhead. ‘ Fitz-Hugh’s hair ' was auburn. This was not a reason calculated to deceive the public, but Raymond had no inventive genius, and it was the best he could do. ML; faindolph had made choice be- tween these two menâ€"a very decided choice. She was ready to give herself An Incorrigible Coquette to A}; of them.

On the morning ap« pointed for the duel she mounted a cob and rode to the grounds, ar- riving there just in time to see the rivals for her hand standing facing each other with deadly intent. Her presence put a stop to the proceedings. “1 have heard." she said. “that one of you gentlemen is about to kill the other. Since 1 have made up my mind to accept a proposition of marriage from one of you 1 object to the other killing him.” - ‘ A. . l__-A_ said nothing.
