The Constable wrote that if\ntho Council refused to pay tho account he would havo to refer the\nmatter to tho Attorney-General and\nsuggested that the Council could collect the money.from tho man himself\nAid. Brown thought thc best thing\ntp be dono would be to try and get\nthe man to puy the account himself\nund so settle all disputes.\nMayor Nicholson remurkod that\nthey would not be going out of the\nway by doing so.\nAid, Matheson was rather chary of\nsuch a procedure. . If they started\nto meddle with it the chances were\nthat they -would havo to pay It themselves. So for tbey had had nothing to do -with it.\nAid. McKinnell asked if Constable'\nCallander had kept tho men In the\ncity gaol?\nConstable Callander stated that ho\nwas asked by Dr. Frost to take\ncharge of tho man for two or three\ndays. So soon as the doctor certified ho was aide to go, he allowed\nhim his liberty again. The man had\ntold him that ho would pay all expenses insldo of two months.\nHis Worship thought that if tho\ncircumstances were explained to the\nman ho would probably make ah effort to settle up sooner.\nOn the motion of Aid.

Thero was also a ditch on\nthe West end of Fifth Avenue which\nneeded to bo deepened in order to\ncarry away tho stagnant water from\ntho street.\nIt was decided to furnish a man\nto assist Mr. McAskill nnd to deepen the ditch on Fifth Avenue.\nDr. Fagun's lottor, laid ovor from\nlast week caused a little discussion\nori being brought up again. Dr. Fagan asked for a donation from tho\ncity to holp build a snnitorium for\nconsumptives.\nAid. Haworth thought tho 'Government should provide tho money.\nThey exempted such corporations us\ntho 'C.lMl. Company from taxation,\nand then Municipalities wero asked\nto contribute monoy whivh tho gov-\nvernmont should provide.\nAid. Matheson said tho city could\ncertainly do with all tho money they\ncould scrape up. But such an institution would bo beneficial to the\nProvince and probably to Ladysmith\nHo thought thoy might givo a little\nsomething, and moved that 950 bo\ndonated.\nAid.

With regard to tho\nlatter tt was agreed to advortise for\ntenders in tho columns of tho \"Monetary Times.\"\nThere followed a long discussion\non tho quostion of a site. Aid.

The officials who\nhave bocn conducting the search for\nthe victims of the house of many\ncrimes add this fact today. They\nrefused however, to mako known\ntheir purpose other than to say that\nthe final step may be taken today\nor tomorrow at the latest.\nThe mystery surrounding four of\ntho fourteen deaths, wldch occurred\nat the place, is cleared by the allegation that Ray Lamphere, the former farm band, prisoner in the county jail, set fire to the house of Mrs.\nGuiness on tho morning of April 28\nnndthereby caused the denth of the\nwidow nnd three children. For this,\nif proven guilty, he is liable, under\nthe provisions of the Indiana state\nlaws to conviction for murder In the\nfirst degree as well as for arson.

Mi'. Parker Wll\nHams, M.P.P., was the speaker, and\nho delivered a truly interesting address on \"Socialism and Religion.\"\nHis first point was that Socialism\ndid not Interfere with the creeds und\nbeliefs of its followers. There was\nroom for either the Alhiest or tho\nChristian, but the former type of Socialist was always singled out ns being a product of Socialism. As a\nmutter of fact, Socialism stood for\na definite economic theory, aimed nt\ntho material emancipation of tho\nindividual. Religion represented a\nspiritual system which had for its\nobject tho spiritual snlvation of tbe\nindividual. Whore was the conflict?\nTho real point wus this. Socialism\nwas seeking tho overthrow of capitalism. Either this object was right\nor it was wrong. If it was right,\ntho Church could not refuse its assistance, and herein would lie tho\ngreat test of Its usefulness.\nThero was a point ol conflict in\nthe attitude taken up by the two\nsystems in regard to environment\nand its influence on character. Socialists argued that you could only\nchange the man* by changing tho\ncircumstances aud conditions of his\nlife. Tbe Church on the other hand\ncontended that you could only\nchange the conditions of life by\nchanging the heart of the individual\nagainst this position uf the\nchurch, Mr. Williams argued that the,\nmon in whose hearts this change was\nsupposed to huve takon place differed to no appreciable extent from the\nmen who were in the outer darkness\nof,unbelief. For example could any\none in tho hall toll him whether\nMr. Dunsmuir. wus nn Athiest or a\nChristian. Then there were men like'\nMussey, McDonald, Eaton and others, ull of them millionaires, and all\nof them*model Christians, and pillars of the church. Did their methods in business diller at all from\nthose of other men who had no connection with the church? As a mutter of fact tho conditions of success\nin modern business were so absolutely rotton that a premium was placed on dishonesty. After going carefully over the ground he subscribed\nto the Socialist position that envir-l\nonment shaped and moulded charac-1\nter rather than that character deter-,\nmined and influenced environment, j\nNow there was absolutely no conflict between Christianity and Soc-'\nialism. Tho origin of both wus very\nsimilar. Christianity was on its beginning a working class movement,\nbegun by a band of working men.\nMoreovc.* they would flnd that tho\ngroat reforms of the world had originated from tbo bottom rather than\nfrom the top strata of society.\nIll dealing from this point Mr. Williams took up the question of tbo\ndeclining attendance of tbe working\nmen iu the various churches. His\nreasons for this were that the church\nis losing tho hold it used to ' havo\nby reason of tho muss of religious\nsuperstitions that bound und hold,\ntlie people. Tho growth of educa-!\ntion, the discoveries of science, and\ntho results of historic criticism,, had\nall tended to dissipate thc old super-'\nstitions and tho church could no:\nlonger depend, to tbo sumo extont\nupon its appeal to the supernatural.\nTo live it muBt devote Its attention\nto social questions and gather up\ninto its activities tho common interests. Unless it did something of\nthis sort its power and influence\nwould still further decline.\nThe Rev. Mr. McMillan, who wns\npresont at the meeting, roso to ask\na question und made rather a lengthy reply to Mr. Williams. With\nmuch of what Mr. Williams had suid\nhe wns in perfect agreement, but tho\nattitude of 'Socialism iu regard to\nonv romnent wus wrong and mischievous. If, by an act Of Parliament\ntomorrow they could change the conditions of life and existence no gooii\nwould result to mankind unless individually it was ready and prepared for it. Chango the Individual\nheart, und everything else would\nchange of Itself. As for the effects\nOn religious belief of the discoveries\nof modern science and the conclusion\nof scholarly criticism God had hot,\nas Mr. Williams had asserted, been\ndriven further and further from man\nand the universe. On thc contrary,\nwhat had been established was thut\nback of nil tho laws and forces\nwhich had discovered and explained\nwas a supremo intelligence, a design\ncr, a planer, a creator. It was\nGod. Tho Church had not dono its\nduty. It was not today what it\nshould bo. But In Christ's teaching\nthey had tho ono effectual r*midy\nfor tho ills of the world. They were\nno slaves of chance or onvir. UHOllt,\nbut freo men with tbe will aivl the\npower of determining thci; own character and making their own destiny.\nNATIVE SON'S\nSUCCESS\nIwldie Conway's Hare Achievement\nIn MeGill Examinations.\nAccording to Eastern mail advices\nMr, _., J. Conway, familiarly known\nhere as l-jlilie Conway, has covered\nhimself witli glory in tho linal examinations at MeCUl University, Mr.\nConway is taking the science coarse,\nwitli special attention to metalliferous mining ami tlie smelting industry, and in this year's examinations\nhe Is easily the most distinguished\nstudent oi the unversity.\nIt is Eddie's third your and in both\nthu metallurgical course and lire assaying he headed tno list. This in\nitself' is no moan achievement, but\nEddie did better lliau that. Apparently he got pot-mission to take the\nfourth year papers as well, and iu\nthe uietuMurgical course he made tho\nsecond man to get through, while in\nlire assaying lie was tho only man\nto get a pass -witli the fourth year\npapers. Thus he has not only carried 00 all the honors in his own\nyear, but actually he has crowded\ntwo years into one and carriod the\nduy with dying colors.\nlt is a rare and brilliant achievement, aad Eddie's numerous friends\nand indeed the town, may well feel\nproud of him.\nIN MEMORIUM.\n ; *\nThe following floral tributes wero\nlaid on the gravo uf the late Mrs.\nJ. -N.
