NOT DUE TO CLIMATE. Catarrh Is Found Everywhere. Catarrh is at home anvwacr: and everywhere. While more common m cold, changeable climates, it is by 19 means confined to them, Lut is pre valent in cvery «tate and territory mn the union. 'The common lefinition of cutarrn is a chronic cold in th: bead, which if long neglected Hf destroys the sense of smell and h.aring; but there are many other forms «f the disease, (ven more ohstiave and dange: Catarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes as well as catarrh of the sto- mach and liver are almost as com- mon as nasal catarrh aml generally more difficult to cure, Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood dis- ease and can only be successfully era- dicated by an internal treatment. Sprays, washes and powders are use- less as far as reaching the real seat of the disease is concerned. Dr. Mclverney advises catarrh suf- ferers to use a new preparation, sold by druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because actual analysis has shown these tablets to contain cer tain anti-septic qualities of the highest value and being an internal remedy, pleasant to the taste, convenient and harmless, can be used as freely as ve- quired, as well for children as for adults. An attorney and public speaker, who had been a catarrh sufferer for years, says : "Every fall I would catch a which would settle in my head throat and hang on all winter long and cvery winter it seemed to get a little worse. 1 was continually clear- ing my throat and my voice became affected to such an extent as to inter- fere with my public speaking. "Il tried troches and cheap cough cures and sometimes got relief, but only for a short time, until this win- ter when I learned of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, through a newspaper advertisement. Two fifty cent boxes which T bought at my druggists, cleared my head and throat in finé shape and to guard against a return of my old trouble [ keep a box of the tablets on hand and nes, - cold and whenever I catch a little cold I take a- tablet or two and ward off any seri ous developments." Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to head the list as a household remedy, to check and break up coughs and colds, because unlike many other ca- tarrh and cough cures, these tablets contain no opiate, cocaine or any in- jurious drug.

"We have not a quorum," remarked Chairman Bell at: Friday's closing meeting of the fire and light commit- tee, as lec looked about the oblong tahle in the city engineer's office, and saw only the faces of Alds. King, Mec- Farlane and Harkne:s gatheped there about. "We la.e a quorum if you count yourself in,"" replied Ald. King. "'lhat's so," rejoined the chairman, "I forgot about myself." "l just want to say, gentlemen," continued the chairman, "that I have colie ted in all outstanding accounts against the committee, and we will leave office without debt standing against us. We might have allowed some of these bills remain over and would have had 4 showing of at least £200 more to our credit, but 1 do not believe in foistering the debts of on: committee upon another, so I have en- deavored to get in all the accoun.s thet stand against us." At this moment Ald. Craig entered an asked if the chairman would have sufficient money left, after paying all accounts, to purchase enough turkeys to go around ? Aid. Bell replied that there not be any turkeys this vear. Regarding tenders for metal hel mets, Ald. Harkness stated th. t George Mills had said he could, in all likelihood, furnish them to the com- mittee It was decided to allow the matter to stand over for next year's commit- tee to deal with. All the. accounts presented were or deved to be paid, on motion of Alds. Harkness and McFarlane. 'lhe action of the chairman in paying up all out standing accounts was favorably com mented upon. Regarding the purchase of a horss, left in the hands of a special commit- tee, Chairman Bell stated that the committee had examined the mare in use in the department for some weeks und all but one were satisfied with her. This committee recommended the purchase of the animal. The horse had been put to a severe test, having been run down Brock street, and back again, from Bagot street to the Lre station. The animal was then exam- ined by a veterinary surgeon, who ex- pressed his sutisfaction with its con dition. Ex Ald. Toye, an expert, also expressed his approval of the horse, and said he thought it would soon }e come one of the best in the depart- ment. Chairman Bell also submitted, a report of the veterinary surgeon, cer- titving to the sound condition of the horse in question, which is coming five years old and weighs 1,125. 'The price 5. It is the property of would asked was . James Norris. In reply to a question, Fell statal that the grey sold brought $110, Ald. McFarlane was of opinion that the hors: sold was as good as any one leit in the department. Ald. Harkness expressed a similar belief. He opposed the purchase of the Norris horse; it was too light and had not "bone" enough. He thought the animal would not weigh more than 1,- 000 pounds. Chairman Bell pressed the purchase of the horse; if not purchased at once, it would be taken out of the station within a féw hours, leaving the partment short of one horse. Ald, Macfarlane suggested placing the money secured from the purchase of the grey horse to the committee's credit, and to hire a horse for line work when necessary. - Chairman Bell replied that this could not he done, as a horse was needed every day, and one must be purchased forthwith, Ald. McCammon stage and said he was favorable to the purchasing of the horse; it was fast, but perhaps, a little light. Ald. King moved that the matter be referred back to the committee for further investigation, to report at _ a special meeting. This motion did not meet with the approval of either Ald. Harkness or Chairman Bell. The first named re- fused to act further on the sub-com- mittee. Chairman Bell pointed out the uselessness of such a proceeding as suggested, as a similar report would be again submitted. Various other suggestions were offer- ed, but none acted upon. Finally, the matter was allowed to stand in abey- ance. It will likely be discussed again Monday night before the meeting of council. If a horse is wanted in the department, one will be engaged from a livery stable. Chairman Bell submitted a state ment, showing the committee's finan- cial standing. The appropriation was 80.000, and the expenditure, $9,289, leaving an overdraft of 82%. The controllable appropriation this year was the smallest since 1598, This year's committee had to pay about R200 of last year's committee ac- counts. Chief Elmer's annual report showed that during the year, exclusive of chimney blazes and small petty fires, the brigade had been called out 109 times. On damaged buildings insurance carried amounted * to $278,150, with loss of 810,935. The insurance un- derwriters pointed out that London and Kingston had the smallest loss of any of the Canadian cities. Business being concluded, a hearty vote of thanks was tendered Chairman Bell, upon motion of Alds. Macfarlane and McCammon, Ald. Craig acting chairman pro tem.

Those who rallied to the sup- port of the chairman were: Alds. Graham, Abbott, Sears, Mallen and Tait. A number of accounts, clearing up indebtedness for the year, were pre- sented and passed. The committee approved of Chair- man King's arrangement regarding the anchor of the schooner Annandale. They considered the deal a remark- ably good one; the city is well pro- tected by the arrangement. Payment of the 835 was ordered on motion of Ald. Abbott. Chairman King stated he had ascer- tained that the anchor and chain were worth 875. Regarding the claim of R. Richard- son, Victoria street, that he had been overcharged: for placing water service in his dwelling, the superintendent showed his figures on the work, which actually showed Richardson to have been undercharged to the: extent of £1.50. oh On moti of Ald. Abbott, the su- perintendent was instructed to write Mr. Richardson an explanation. Ald. Graham presented Mr. Richard- son's case, but in view of the facts submitted by the superintendent, he acknowledged a weak case. Regarding the claim of the Board of Education, for a rebate for charge made for water used for sorinkling lawns of Victoria school, Ald. Sears moved that no action be taken, but recommended that a tap be placed outside the school meter, from which water could be drawn for lawn sprinkling. The committee was fur- ther agreed that hereafter the charge for this school should be the same as that made for a simi service for the Collegiate Institufe, namelv $8 a year.: : The application of James Blomley, day fireman at' the pumping station, for an increase in wages, was referred to the council, where it should first have heen addressed. " Chairman King submitted a set of rules for the governance of the cm ployees of the pumping station. It de fined their coming and going and other minor duties, already in force hut never having heen clearly defined by printed rules. These were adopted on motion of Alds. Tait and Graham. The adoption of these rules led to a rambling discussion upon general affairs, touching things, at the pump- ing station. Ald. Sears stated that he and Ald. Abbott had visited the place one night and found the small engine. pounding very hard. In their opinion, if that had been allowed to continue, the engine would soon have been a wreck. Ald. Abbott corroborated this state- ment, and added further, he had Been told repeatedly, but not by persons connected with the department, that notwithstanding changes made at the pumping station, affairs there were not being run as they ought to be. He had visited the place and found, to a certain extent, that this was true. The place was dirty and untidy, and the engines not in the condition thy should he. He was of opinion that this station should he maintained as a model of neatness and cleanliness. [f not so late in the year, he would ad- vocate putting down a new hard wood floor, painting walls and ceiling and making other necessary improvements; he commended this work to next year's committee, Ald. Sears bore statements. Superintendent Hewitt replied that with a soft wood floor it was impos- sible to keep the place clean, when the employees were constantly walk- mg among coal, grease, ete. The pounding of the engine has been stop- ped. Ald. King admitted that there was room for improvement, but supported the superintendent's explanation. He called attention to the fact, however, that next year's committee would have to take steps to have fixed that portion of the wharf supporting the coal shed, which was in a dangerous condition. "The small engine would have to receive repairs, and sooner or later the committge would have to face the question of the purchase of a larger pump, to replace the small one, as the consumption of water would soon be in excess of the small pump's capacity. The committee was in pn fair way of having an all night session, as some of the members had come prepared to talk. An end was put to the session however, bv Alds. Abbott and Grah- am requesting Ald. Tait to take the chair, whereupon they moved a nicely worded and cordial vote of thanks to the energetic chairman who had successfully "guided: the destinies the hot water committee," as Ald. Abbott so aptly expressed it. Alds. Sears and Mallen supported the mo- tion, which Ald. Tait presented . in due form, and for which Chairman Kinz expressed his warmest thanks. out Ald.

On that date Miss Ger- trude Schroeder, only daughter of John Shroeder, who formerly resided on Brock street, this city, was united in marriage to a Mr. Macdonald, a well-to-do ranchman of that western town. Mr. Macdonald left Cornwall fourteen vears ago, and has prospered in his new home. The many Kingston friends of the bride extend heartiest congratulations. The Folger-Visger Case.
