Fire Department Investigation Proceeds ��������� Civic > Property Used at Chiefs House���������Further Serious Charges Preferred���������Committeeman Attacks l Call." "God Save the King and Queen At the investigation last Friday the evidence brought out the fact that a heater boiler had been taken from No. 1 Fire Hall and installed in the Chief's new residence as the main factor in an up- to-date hot water system to keep the ehill of winter from the,genial chief. The facts are as follows : When the city purchased the big auto-propelled Fire Engine for No. 1 Hall it became neeess-.-.ry to . install an auxiliary heater in the basement t >' keep fc/ the steam in the engine up ready to respond to an alarm,at any tune. The Chief ordered onet from the Eastern states which post $338.00, this one was never used but is still lying at the rear of No. 1 Hall. He also ordered one from E. G. Prior, the heater alone costing $130, this was installed but owing to the low ceiling in the base- ment it was difficult to clean "the Hues, without ^ allowing the fires to go out and letting the steam go down on the engine. This heater carried 140 lbs. steam and was practically new. It was removed and the Chief Engineer made a water tube boiler in its place, the "'Prior" heater being taken to the Chief's house, and there installed by the Chief En'gineer and machinist at the expense of the city. The bare heater cost the city $130 and- the cost of installation must have~ been considerable. ; ������. In addition to this the Chief found it highly desirable to install a vaeeumn cleaning system. This was accomplished with the kind assistance of the department blacksmith and the tank off .the chemi- T cal engine of No. 8 Fire Hall, "this chemical Was a Ik combination chemical and hose wagon but for some reason the Chief took- objection to the combination affair and had the chemical tank,removed and this subsequently found. a .resting place in the Chief's home, where no doubt ty will do yoeman service as a dust collector. These things are treated lightly, by the "World" f the Mayor and Co., and on' their face may seem ^unimportant as a public body is usually looked upon as legitimate prey for all������and sundry, but perhaps a better way to view the matter would be to ask oneself the question "What.would a buai- j ness concern da to a foreman who would take a - good boiler from the premises and cart it off to his private .residence and there install it at *the expense of the Company for whom he worked?" Let the reader answer that question for [himself or herself, and then ask why should the (employee of the city he treated differently from }that of a private Company.

EAM8AT SLATES "CALL" We are this week to celebrate one of the most solemn occasions in the history of a people''������ viz.* the CORONATION OF. & MONARCH. 1' To some the event has no significance but to- nil thinking men, whatever may he their opinions it is an event of greatest national moment- King George will he formally acknowledged as the supreme representative of responsible Government. His office is a high one and carries with it a grave responsibility. And while he does not exercise absolute power in his own right, yet he is the personification of government authority. It is most fortunate that on this occasion the people as one man can rejoice because of the noble qualities visible in the character and life of both King George and Queen Mary. Both are, strong believers in the old British morality. This is a splendid asset in a ruler, especially in this age when there is such a tendency to introduce th&loose morals of continental Europe. ������,,.���������_ y' Our beloved King ind Queen have already exhibited .a strong inclination to the morals of the "old school "land already, we learn, many reforms have been introduced into court circles because of the expressed wish of the monarehs. > The occasion will also be one where the -patriotic sentiments of the nation should be and will be deeply aroused, not because of the personal value only bf our beloved monarch, but because of the general trend of our national history towards righteousness and liberty. There are many things not entirely free from fault in our social and industrial life, but on the whole our national life is towards justice and equality and the present eveut should rouse the latent patriotism in the breast of all true British' subjects. ��������� K1U1IMM I M'HWM'H"H l ������H 11 M'l l K 13 H llll 11 It & i) Producing a copy of the last issue of the ���������/"Call" Aid. Ramsay read therefrom certain paragraphs relating to "unnecessary delay; in the"in- |vestigation.'' H^^proceeded to state that he was I anxious as far as he is concerned to give a square [ deal to all concerned. We accept this fully but [do not hesitate to say that others may not be of the same temperament. For instance at a recent [banquet the chairman of the investigating com- [mittee, Aid. Enright, stated that he "intended to pee that the Chief got justice" and that he "was 'sorry an alderman should bring such trivial charges" or words to that effect. We doubt if any man who has his mind made up before hand [could be impartial in judgment. Aid. Ramsay also stated that in his opinion the "Call" should refrain from making any com- fment on the evidence. We regret that we must I 'differ-; with the7 general alderman and claim the kright to comment on all evidence WHICH HAS IBEEN FORMALLY OFFERED. Some weeks ago we published the findings of the grand jury and the remarks of Justice Gregory, in which the City Council, the Police Commission and the License Commission were urged to secure a better enforcement of the law. ' Many of the citizens are puzzled at the situa- v tion which obtains in the city in. this regard and' a word of explanation would not be amiss. / ' The License Commissioners are earnestly de- ' < sirous of enforcing the law, but claim that it., comes under the jurisdiction of the Police and in any case have no private fund from which to - draw for costs' of getting evidence except a paltry $250 per annum. ' ' The Police Commissioners are also desirous of* _. enforcing the law. but claim it is not their business - to ferret out evidence and state that if the evidence is given to them they will prosecute. . Y , ��������� The function of the council is to supply funds for administration of justice and when appealed/ to by the License Commissioners for funds-they/! replied, get the police. *' " r ' Thus while each body is anxious to see good - results, this'slight misunderstanding is undermin- \ ing the efficiency of all departments to a certain , degree. ' Recognizing these facts Aid. Stevens moved at the last meeting of Council that the three bodies meet together in conference and clear up theiro misunderstandings in a businesslike way. ' .For this he was the victim of a most bitter <> . and accrimonous attack by the Mayor. " The Mayor stating that the motion waa tanta- . mount to a personal attack on him, etc., etc. * ��������� As a matter of fact he was not referred to int st the, remotest degree, nor was either of the other , bodies, but simply a request made that the three bodies meet to confer.y<* - ^- - ^ ^ ,,'���������" i /While these disputes continue the,, law is^beingy defied in many quarters as was evidenced by hum- \ erou s instances given in .open, council by various aldermen of existence of "blind pigs" in their localities. We do not wish to be unfair to any publit ' body or individual; but claim the right of speak- < ing plainly on all topics of public mo :ment. It is a matter of vital importance to the citi-; ' zens that tbe law be vigorously enforced and that when necessary detective work be done to bring those guilty to justice' and our contention is that ' the different departments should seek to work in harmony with each other. We sincerely regret that His Worship should haye taken such a bitter stand on this matter, he having refused absolutely to meet" with any of the bodies in joint conference and further threatened to veto any action taken. l The public will be inclined to construe this to mean that His Worship does not wish to meet the issue but prefers' that it proceed along present unsatisfactory lines. Our Police force are second to none on tha coast and it is not lack of willingness, hut simply misunderstanding as to jurisdiction which ia cau#- ing the trouble. : ^���������Y Y'f- 7,\\7?'i| ? ��������� .*: '<���������-' ^"ix-.t * '.I i - *\ ������* 1 ,-V h ���������<!

A motion was presented to grant the request. His-Worship the Mayor left the chair and dragged into the question the whole strike proh- ���������lcm. which made it a" rather touchy question to handle. His Worship slated those favoring the move-as being desirous of opposing the strike and said it would incite them to riotY There were several speeches on both sides of the question but, outside of the Mayor, the discussion was confined fairly well to the question in the closing the gates^ There was no intention to interfere in any way with parties tia this dispute but simply to facilitate the completion of the Exhibition buildings which is absolutely necessary in order to have them ready for the coming exhibition. It was finally ordered that if the exhibition found it impossible to work their men without interference by Wednesday that the11 gates be closed during working hours only. . .

Nonconformity in Great Britain l������ Not Holding Ita Own; London, .June -8.���������The Westminster Gazette, a sound Liberal paper with warm Free Church sympathies, recently published figures taken from official sources showing that Nonconformity in England and Wales is steadily declining. From these statistics it is seen, that for four years the membership of the Baptist church has shown a steady decrease. In 1906 the Baptist membership was 434,741, more than 16,- 300 higher than -today. Yet churches have increased by 146 and seating accommodation by,41,000 sittings. In nearly every instance the machinery and equipment have been improved, while the' membership has declined, crease, as has happened for'five years in succession. The total decrease in the five years ,is 13,120, or about 2.4 per cent Primitive.'Methodists, United Methodists and Calvinistic Methodists all show decreases.' Small increases are shown by Presbyterians, Moravians, and t the' Society of Friends. The Anglican Church in the last three - years, has increased its communicants by. 141,005. Speaking of the causes which may account for the decline in the free churches, the Westminster Gazette says': "Nonconformity in the small towns and villages has been affected by the changing conditions, of rural life, by emigration, aiid by a decrease in the prosperous small tradesmen. Wesleyan Methodists, again, are not sat- . The Congregationalist decrease "has been less than that of the Baptists. In 1907, its membership was 459,663, or 4853 less than today. The Wesleyan connection has again suffered a de- isfled with the regulations governing the close system of membership. Baptists and Congregationalists, tnv.j.tlte other hand, realize that the inadequate stipends���������often irregularly paid ���������of their ministers impose drawbacks which sap the best life of their men." But the principal causes can be found in the use made of the pulpit for po-, litical purposes, and that in the interests of one political party, and of the subjects far removed from'gospel truths, introduced hy preachers in the hope of drawing congregations with "itching ears." ~ Statistics show that 141 Baptist paBtorB in England and Wales get stipends under $375 a year; 26 receive less than $500; 706 less than $750; 1025 less than $1250, while only 164 get more than the last mentioned sum. Of these, 23 get $2500 a year and 17 get more than that sum. Fgures dealing.with the incomes of Congregationalist ministers show a similar state of affairs. - ��������� - \ . A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY.

The water was only nie fathoms, and I did not expect much trouble* but I got it. I had a good man on the line, and thought my pump was all right, yet from thevfirBt I experienced difficulty in getting air. It was found out afterward that there was a leaky valve. I pulled for more, and for awhile it came better; then I got to work in earnest. The water was as clear as a bell, arid I didn't have any difficulty at all in finding the hull, although she was half-overed .with Band. But I had all thoughts of her scared out of me in short order. I had crawled through some of her rigging and wreckage to go down in the hold��������� dangerous thing to do, but I couldn't help it.

There was but one thing to do, so I drew my knife���������luckily it was a good ten-inch blade���������and waited. It was my first experience with sharks, and I was nervous, but the thought that my life depended on no one but me kept my head clear. He came at me suddenly, with a rush, and turned almost on his tack, so as to give his scissor jaw a chance. That was my chance, and I gave it to him twice in the throat, slashing as much as I could. The water was red in a minute, and as I threw myself on my face I just prayed he would swim off to clear water. He did, I guess, because things were quiet for a while, and as soon as my heart stopped pounding long enough for me to ge my breath, I commenced to feel my way back again through the maze of woodwork, spars, wreckage and old cordage through which I had crept to get at the interior of the hull. 11 was slow work, and lazy red as the water was, I was afraid to do much cutting of ropes* for fear of cutting my own line.

Name. Address. .MONTREAL June 19th.���������The scientific discussion which has been waxing, warm of late as to whether'it' would-be possible vto make the,St.' Lawrence river an all the year round navigable stream was given a new fillip this week when Dr.' Olgar Man- heim, * consulting engineer on rivers and harbors to the Norweigian government, who is finishing a tour of in- spection of the principal. waterways of; this continent, suggested that Jt might become practicable,tovpay more attention to summer conditions on Canada's great river than wasting time theorizing about what might be done in winter. The discussion was originally started when a report'to the Government by Or. Howard T. Barnes, Professor of Physics at McGill University, and world famous as an ice expert, was made public, Dr. Barnes said winter navigation of the St. Lawrence was quite possible. Engineers, rivermen and others split on his opinion. Some stood with him, some against. Then Dr. Manheim came along and turned the public mind to summer navigation with a brand new theory. Dr. Manheim believes that millions now spent in dredging may be saved and that the low water period in the autumn may be entirely eliminated.. "I do not know whether It has even been suggested in this country," said he, "but I believe" that regulation or conservation of the water would solve the proSlem far more cheaply and lastingly than by dredging. When 1 was in Cornwall I took a little motor boat and went up to the fot of the Long Sault.. rapids, where I understand it is proposed to4 dam the St. Lawrence for the, purpose of providing water power to the towns on the Canadian and American shores. It is a gigantic proposition they have there, and one I think whicii might be follow- ed all along, the. St. Lawrence as far as Montreal. I do not mean that the damming should be done particularly for water power development, but for bettering navigation. The dam at Long Sault I believe will make that part of the river into a quiet navigable stream, instead of the dangerous passage it is,now. It will not divert any 'water from the river, but will hold it back and thus regulate the depth for miles to-the ��������� westward.- "The time will come when similar works will be required at other points on the St. Lawrence; that is to say, regulating dams will have to be built toYconserve the water and maintain a high enough level for the navigation or large vessels." * * * CHINESE RIDE CANADIAN FASHION. *A^************************' * It 1111 UK 1 IU 111 H t H t 8 '��������� i (Good Load W* D.

Major Rost, of the Indian Medical Service, at Rangoon, Burma, claims to have discovered a cure for leprosy. In a report on the .subject he states that after a research into the bacteriology of leprosy extending over seven years he has succeeded in Isolating from three cases of leprosy an acid fast bacillus which possesses a eertain peculiar characteristic resembling morphologically the bacillus of leprosy. Of ten cases in which the treatment has been adopted two recovered, two improved greatly, the remnants - of the disease being very slight, and the .remaining six improved in a remarkable manner, injection of vaccine in nine cases being the only treatment adopted. Surgeon-General Lukis, C. S.

There is a spirit of unrest amongst thinkers throughout the Empire respecting its solidity and its future. During the next twenty-five years Great Britain and its overseas dependencies will have to solve many international problems, complex and varied. United action towards their solution by Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Will mean a successful conclusion. The building of a solid imperial front for the years to come must _be accomplished today. Yet, despite the verbal froth of imperialism, effervescing in five continents, little that is practical can be observed. Loyal sentiments and Empire talk are handsome rubber bands, only to be dissolved at the first feeling of commercial warmth elsewhere. In the past, Great Britain has been able to hold ite Empire together largely by the spirit of kith and kin, by the love of the Motherland, by sending its sons and daughters to pioneer in every corner' bit the j globe. It. has held Em- plr etbgetherlargely because London is the world's .monetary entcre, and because the overseas dominions perforce 'have drawn their financial muscle from the world's metropolis. It has 'traded^With these dominions as it has traded also with foreign countries. In pioneering lands there ls a tendency to overlook history. As generation succeeds' generation, there is ah aptitude tb forget thafr ancestors were English, or Irish, or Scotch or Welsh. There sometimes arises a disposition to regard British loaning power as a right of the borrower rather than a choice of the lender. .To-day we may well ask whether Great Britain and its dominions are making individual collective efforts to string together the links of Empire In a chain which knows no break. Canada is in the position' to lead the way either to consolidation or disintegration. Forty years ago,' one of Great Britain's gifts to Canada was the Canadian North-West. There in years to come millions will be produced what should be the food supply of the British Empire. The Dominion is dipping into the British investors' pockets to the extent of two hundred million dollars a year. It has already had a billion and a half dollars from the same source. With that money, a network of railroads has been constructed -and general development assisted. North American economics have given United States power to sell two dollars' worth of merchandise to Canada which sells in exchange one dollars' worth. The same factor, plus insufficient enterprise and desire on the part of the British merchant and the British government, plus again the ,hung- has made the Dominion, aTarge'bor7 rower. from Britain, a considerable; vendor of its products to Great Britain and an unusually small buyer from. Great Britain compared to purchases from the neighboring epublic. Great Britain has moved but little to hold by practical ties, by the strands of mutual interest in trade, industry, finance and shipping, it bversas Empires to its side. Living next door to an ambitious nation, speaking the English tongue, it is only natural that partly because of this inaction in a land three thousand miles away, Canada should begin to ape the mannerisms and customs of its nearest neigh- 'bor, that it should trade with an enterprising merchant separalvd only by an international boundary line, that the stream of Americanization should begin to make impression on the rocks of English foundation, that bygone Canadian-British history, unsupported by present and practical reminders, should be overlooked. The position is further complicated by the flutteiing of Canada's wing3 as a nation, one whose strength among foreign nations was built upon British sinew, upon British capital and one whose freedom from ugly international rcises is due to the British navy patrolling year in and year out, without advertisement, the commercial highways of the Empire. The present tendency is to wage war with tariffs and commercial treaties rather than with armored cruisers and Gat- ling guns* Sometimes when economic skirmishes fail, more serious warfare is necessary. Canada has assumed the position of commercial belligerent, but without the support of blue jackets and red jackets. It has named its right to dictate its trade policy and frame its trade treaties with nations in both hemispheres.

A RI8ING CANADIAN ARTI8T. IN CHINA. At the Oriental Circle of the Lyceum Club, in London, Dr. Yamei Kin, the Chinese lady doctor, gave an address on the condition of things in China. She said that woman's work lay in the home; when the man crossed the threshold he came into her domain. Religion waa largely left to the women in China; men only attended the temples on special occasions, such aa the New Yesr. Hitherto it had been considered that only men should be educated, but that was found to result in man having one leg short and one leg long, so that the education of .'women was steadily advancing though it was not compulsory yet.. Women who were educated married better; people were beginning to realise that mothers ought to be educatjatf.' In answer to questions Dr. Kin said she was the' first Chinese lady doctor, but' ���������he knew of six Chinese ladies now studying medicine. One was hoping to take her degree at Edinburgh next year. Explaining the laws ot divorce In China, Dr. Kin aroused laughter,by admitting that a wife could be divorced tor being too talkative; on the other hand, if a woman, with the consent of the community, divorced her husband, be ceased to exist socially; no. on* 'wui W*x anything to dp with him.' *<>*''' Miss. Marguerite Frechette, the Canadian girl, who has been Btudylng art in Paris for the past two years, and who has had the honor conferred, upon her of election tp the Union International des Beaux Arts et des Let- ires; is a niece of the late lamented Dr. Louis H. Frechette, the well-known Canadian author and poet and laurate of the French Academy. Her father, Mr. Achille Frechette, chief of tbe translation branch of the, House of Commons, at Ottawa, before entering the public service, had made a reputation for himself as a journalist and lawyer, and he has also won recognition as "an artist ot admirable skill." For eighteen years he has been director and for live years secretary of the Art Association of Ottawa.. Her mbther was the daughter of the Hon. W. H. Howells, formerly United States 'consul at Quebec and later at Toronto. William Dean Howells, the celebrated United tSates novelist, was a brother of. Madame Frechette, and she also has distinguished herself as a writer ot short stories and sketches of travel.

In cParis, Miss Frechette is studying under such well-known masters as Lucien Simon and Rene Menard,' and haB been specially under the tuition of Madame Leforges, the famous woman artist. The, young artist has made a specialty of portraiture, marine scenes and various other studies. One of her pictures was bung last year at the Salon, and she is working on another, "A -Woman's Head," which she hopes to have accepted for the Salon' this Bpring. The model of this is a French- Canadian girl of characteristic brunette type. Several of this talented young Canadian artist's, pictures are familiar to Canadians who have visited Quebec of recent years, as they hang conspicuously in the dining room of the Chateau Frontenac.

HINTS FOR THOSE WHO KEEP
CANARIES. :
jfn selecting a canary, one of .the
cross-breds, pure canary with a strain
of goldfinch or bullfinch, is the best
to choose as the yare much hardier
than the pure canary and have splendid voices;
The best food for canaries is canary
and rape seed, one part of rape to
three of canary." From April to September they should have a little fresh
green ,. foo����� every clay, either chick-
weed, ' watercress, or lettuce. 1 lump
of sugar should always be kept in between the cage wires withmin easy
reach. <,- _
Always give a canary a bath the first
thing in the morning. After cleaning
the bottom of the cage should be
sprinkled with gravel and sand (not
sand from the seashore, as the salt
will "kill the bird. This agrees with
the canary^and^pre vents sore feet.
Never hang tlie cage in a draft or
a stiff breeze:as canaries are very susceptible to cold. Neither should it remain uncovered in a lighted room at
night as the bird's song is liable-to become impaired, because of its nervous
temperament.
air, which must be allowed to flow out
before lighting. ,
It is no pleasant job to keep the
kitchen sink clean. If it is of galvanized iron cover its surface with soap
powder. After it has remained on at
least fifteen minutes, scrub the sink
with a strong brush in boiling ,hot; water. Gare must be taken in! keeping
the soap powder from touching the
woodwork of the sink, as it will eat all
the paint off.
If you have no stationary tubs in the
room in which your laundry work is
done, and if you are compelled to fiU
each tub with water from the kitchen
ooiler, get hold of an old piece of garden hose'and attach one end of it to
the faucet on your boiler and run the
other end into your tub.
If your polished table has been spotted by drops of water, etc., pour a
small quantity of��� liquid camphor or
spirits of camphor on the stain, rub It
in well with the palms of the hand. The
camphor will not injure the polish of
the table and the white spot will disappear.
An odd way of mending the winter
underwear before you put it away in
mothballs for the summer is to cut

Just turn the idea around. Should you

A Discourtesy on the Part of,a Man.
���Is it prober for a man to put tils arm
over the back of,.the seat when driving with a young woman? What can I
do if be persists in doing so? It is tn
exceedingly bad taste for a man to assume- so intimate a posture. You,should
say plainly, and as though you meant
it, though courteously:. "Please tape
your arm away." -If he demurs or asks
why, say: "Because it Is awfully bad
manners, and I do not like it." A man
respects a girl who will not permit any
liberties and has the courage to reprove them���and If he does not he Is
not the right kind of a man.

it to Bettle properly. The edges should
then be pasted down to the floor in order to keep the dirt from working under it. Another good suggestion is to
put a narrow strip of moulding around
the edges "next to the wall and paint it
an appropriate color.
In lighting a new gas range the instructions to first turn on the gas and
then stritte the. match must be' followed invariable. Unless this is done
the flame will roar and pound and be
yellow instead of blue. Besides, it will

Here is a- good way to keep your
stockings up. Fasten together, with a
piece in back and one in front, two
pl��ces of tape long enough to reach
over the shoulders. Then fasten on
each of these four ends a piece of elastic fixed with a garter fastener. This
will hold the stocking up in both front
and back and does away with the necessity of fastening the garters to the
waist.

If the water in your laundry is hot

plates into the ice chest, which Is always a risk. "'��� The wooden plates that
bakers use, and "the smaller scoop-

paper is cut into square pieces and
kept in a convenient place a piece may
be slipped over the wooden plate first,
and then the left-over food put in. The
paper! after use, may be burned, but
the wooden plate may be used several

it and take a new one.

Not so long ago Interest was awakened In England by the discovery of.
a prehistoric lake village near Glastonbury. The dwellings were placed

explorers to think that it may have

In "A Little Pifer's War Diary," Mr. C. W. Bardeen relates many an inci dent that has not before seen the* light. Among these are some relating to picket-duty and the rendering of the bothersome countersign which are truly remarkable. For instead of possessing at least some faint particle of the soldierly instinct, many of the younger recruits, it would seem, were of a strikingly civilian frame of mind and this can be no more said of one army than of the other. ��������� This is a characteristic account: One recruit challenged, "Who goes there?" "The Grand Rounds." In-, atead ot saying, "Halt, Grand Rounds. Advance, sergeant, and give the countersign," the recruit exclaimed in disgust, "Oh���������, I thought It was the relief!" A general testing the sentries came upon a young recruit who halted him with: '"Stop! Have you the countersign?" "No," replied the General. "What, another one without it?" exclaimed the sentry in disgust. "Well, I'll tell you; it's 'Victory.'" The General gasped for breath. "What do you mean by giving any one the countersign?" be at last roared out. "I'm the General and I'll have you hanged." The sentry was amazed. "Why, my orders were not to let any one pass without the countersign," he exclaimed. "Let me tell you, I am tired of giving it. Such a lot don't seem to know'it." Words of this sort might be occasionally heard: "Who comes there?" "A friend." y "Advance, friend, and give the countersign." . "Hang it, man, I have forgotten it." "Begorra,; so have I."
