Celebration to be Held on Mon- day, May 26th--Programme to be Considered ai Another Meeting Next Tuesday Even- ing. The meeting called Ly mayor Shaw to arrange for a Victoria day cele bration was held in the city council chamber last night with these gentle fen in attendance: The mayor, alder men Carson, and White, John Smith, FLieut.-Col. Hunter, J. P. Oram, VP. Devlin, J. McParland, J. H. Metcalfe, W. H. Godwin, A. Chadwick, G. W, Bell, B. Gowdey, R. Mooney, D. E. Starr, A. Abernethy, Thomas Nichol son, COC, Millan, H. N. Robertson, 0. dartells, W. D. McRae and others. 1). E. Starr was appointed secretary, pro tem. It was moved by J McParland, se conded by "alderhan White that Vie toria day be the day of eelehration, and that it be observed on Monday, May 26th. In amendment, It wed moved hy W. H. Godwin and H. N. Robertson, that the celebration be on coronation day, June 26th. Mr» Godwin pointed out that the latter day would be more preferable, as the weather could be more depended upon. Mr. McParland upheld Monday, May 26th. More people and more money, he held, would eome to the city on that day. The troops would come on' Sun- day morning and remain two days. | The motion to celebrate on May 26th was carried almost unanimously. Mr. Chadwick moved this standing t committee to strike the various sub-committees : Mayor Shaw, alderman Carson, alderman Kent, J. McParland, W, .. Macnee, D. E. Starr. G. W. Bell seconded the mo tion, adding the name of Mr. Chad wick, The motion was carried, Aldesman Carson moved, seconded by alderman White, that the commit tee arrange a programme for the cele bration, and submit it to a general meeting on April Ist. Carried. Alderman White thought the man- agement committee looked too much like the agricultural society's execo- tive, and he didn't like it at all. The comnitiee, he said, should be more representative. The mayor stated that the commitice could not appoint a secretary or manager. done by the general meeting. Alderman White moved, seconded by W. H. Godwin, that E. C. Dean be asked to accept the managership. Mr. Dean stated that his time was not his owh, and he could not promise. The mayor and Mr. Starr were ap: pointed to interview Mr, Pense and secure his permission for Mr. Dean to act. Mr. man Abernethy thought something should he done so as to have the chief attractions in the afternoon. Heretofore, the military portion, the finest of the whole celebration, was in the morning, and was missed hy thousands of visitors who did not reach the city till one o'clock in the afternoon. This view was supported by Mr. Chadwick, Mr. Robertson and Mr. McParland, who held that too much had been put on in the morn ing. The latter stated that the mili tary authorities bad expressed them. selves favorable to the afternoon par ade. Lieut.-Col, Hunter suggested a water carnival for the moming. Alderman White remarked that no money could be expeeted from the city council. Mr. McParland declared that the city council would not go back on the celebration. Such an affair was a benefit to the whole city, and a civic grant was money well spent. The " mayor stated that the budget made no provision for a grant. Ald: erman White said that he was almost sure no grant could be expected from the council, and it looked as though the celebration committee would have to finance the affair themselves. Next Tuesday evening a programme will be submitted to the general meeting, and then the celebration will be advertised A Chinaman's Troubles. When Lai Sang, the Chinese laun deyman, who ran a little business just shove Humit's barber shop, Princess street, went up to Peterboro, a short time ago to open up 8 mew laundry theve, he left in charge of his local shop a pleasant young celestial, who is perhaps not quite as sharp as the older members of his nation's favorite oraft. Anyway, the Chinamen had a bad habit of leaving his hard-earned dollars in an empty cigar box on the counter while he slumbered on his narrow couch upstairs. Some weeks an evil-disposed 'person' entered the little shop through the back win- dow and stole about $5. Last Satur- day night the trick was again per- formed, and when John opened the ciagr box on Sunday, to count his money, he found that $10 was miss- ing. He did not "tell his troubles to a cop," but one of his white friends did. It was a mean trick to rob the poor Chinamen of his few dollars, and the thief should not go. unpunished. An Endeavor Rally.

A " SHOE OPENING," Conducted In D. F. Armstrongls Store--Good Music. Not to ba outdone by his fellow merchants, who have been. holding millinery openings galore during the past week, ex-alderman D. F. Arm- strong decided to hold a 'shoe open ing" , last night. And it was an "opening" in more ways than one. His new stoek of spring and summer goods were opened up for inspection, and the new and elegant styles showed openal the eyes of the many visitors, who scarcely thought" such fine goods could be secured at such reasonable prices. The 47th regimental band, stationed in the rear of the handsome store, opened up the programme of the evening with a choice selection. No goods were sold last night, but doubtless to-day and the days that are to follow the visitors will open their pocket books and sefure some of the choice bargains. During the entire thronged the store, listening to the choice music of the band (of which, by the way, Mr. Armstrong is the en- ergetic manager) and inspecting the new lines of shoes. One of the finest gentleman's shoe shown was a patent leather, welted, with perforated vamps, heel auarters, perforated lace strips and double-deck- od soles.

The steamer, Pierrepont was su . ful yesterday afternoon in brecking through the ice to Nine Mile Point, and openind navigation at this port. The steamer left the ferry wharf at HAG am, and returned at 4.30 having made excellent time. The course taken by Capt. Allen was out towards Point Frederick, then up the harbor on the Wolfe Island side, across towards Rockwood, and thence south to Nine Mile Point. Ice was the thickest a little above Snake Islnd, where it was a foot in depth. Within A short distance of Nine Mile Point, open was encountered, and a clear seen right across to the United States shore. It was declared by all those who prophesy that the Pierrepont could never break thrquph the harbor, and as a result there gre many false and discredited prophets to-day Never before did the Pierrepont start out when no open water was io be seen. Yesterday it was ice all the way. The old gunboat appears in new raiment, and never looked so youthful and gay before. A new smoke stack has also replaced the old one. "The steambarge Hinckley was the second boat to leave Kingston har- bor. She cleared to-day for Oswego, N.Y, to load coal for this port. In December, the Hinckley followed in the track of the steamer New Island Wanderer from Cape Vincent to King- ston.

In 1808, the wind blew the ice out of the harbor in a night, and the Pierrepont had no work to do that spring.

No one disputes the faet that we are living in a "rapid" age; it is rush, rush, rush from morning until night, and competition is so fierce that the struggle does not cease until the ma chine is wogn out. Women, t50, even when surrounded-by every' comfort, be- come infected © by the common spirit, and what with their clubs and many social duties, have no time to give thought to their physical well-being, until they are suddenly brought to a sharp realization of the fact that no- thing in their lives is so important as attention to correct, or rational liv- ing.
