' -------- A PLEASING CONCERT. | In Princess Street Methodist Church Last Evening. A large audience was present at the concert given at Princess Street Meth: odist church, last evening. The pro gramme, which was given entirely by the choir of the church, was the best heard there in some time, and it must have taken i time and pati- ence before Miss Wilder could train the participants to the of perfec. . The a tion were all enthusiastically encored, Misses Purdy and Chown ig called on to respond after each of their numbers. The ge- lections of the male quartette were fa- vordbly received and also the male chorus and the glees by the choir wére each in tum encored. The programme, which consisted of seventeen numbers, was given in two parts, with a short intermission, and consisted of solos, duetts, recitations, and violin solos, besides the quartettes and choruses. W. H. Roberts' violin numbers were well received. The whole programme wu igane through without a break and those present thoroughly a . ciated the efforts of wth Wile. who, as instructress, deserves great credit for getting up so successful an entertainment. Rev. J, B. Hicks oc- cupied the chair and filled his duties in a humorous and pleasing manner, a---------- i THE EXPORT TRADE From Kingston District to United States. The report of United States Consul H. D. VanSant, to the department of commerce and labor, at Washington, shows that for the six months ending December 3lgg, 1906, the declared ex- | ports from the Kingston district | amounted to $363,139, an increase over the same period of the preceding the consideration, while The Light Committees Thinks a Re-arrangement of the Treas- ury Department Officials Would Do--A : Report to Be At the light committer meeting, ves. terday afternoon, were Alds. Toye (chairman), Douglas, Gaskin, Rigney and Couper. The sub-committee, consisting Alds. Toye, Givens and Chown, pointed to consider the question of additional assistance for the light plant collector, recommended that the necessary assistance be arranged for the light department in the treasur- er's office. It was agreed that some extra as- sistance was required by Mr. Moore, but the question afese as to whether it was necessary to engage another clerk. Could not some of those in the treasury department already give the assistance required at times ? Ald. Rigney held that it was cost- ing quite enough money already to run the light department. There were four well-paid heads of 'the various light departments, and he would not countenance any further expenditure. Ald. Gaskin said that the staff in the treasury department was quite large enough to do the citv's finan- cial business. There were often times when some of those in the treasury department were not busy. At such times they could assist Mr. Moore, or they could assist each other all the vear around, but, of course, each would be responsible for his own de- partment. What was wanted was a re-arrangement of the work of the treasury department. It was resolved on motion of Alds. Rigney and Couper, that the opinion of the city solicor be obtained on the rights of the light, heat and now- er committee to appoint employees of the department un clause No. 9 of by-law No. 6, 1904, and that the treasurer report in writing as to the necessity of extra assistance for Mr. Moore, and if some re-arrangement of the present employees of the depart- ment cannot be made without extra cost. The committee desires to know whether it should recommend changes or additions to the treasury depart- ment, in view of that whole depart. ment being under the city treasurer, or whether the finance committee should make the recommendation. The light department. collector is under the city treasurer, as aldo are the water works and tax collectors. of ap- AT THE GRAND. To-Night Will See a Temperance Play. Railroad life to the uninitiated al- ways possesses a ' marked degree of fascination. In the past it has been a fruitful field for dramatists, and many well knit and wisp © meritorious railroad plays have been offered for public approval. But it has remained for Charles FE. Blaney. in his latest and best melodrama "The Curse of Drink." which will be the offering at the Grand to-night, to eclipse all pre- vious efforts, "A Thoroughbred Tramp." Elmer Walters' side-splitting comedy: dranma "A Thoroughbred Tramp," is booked to serve 'fun for theatre-goers at the Grand, Saturday, Lebruary Oth, matinee and night. The play is full of heart interest and hilarious comedy, and it is spid the company LICENSE REDUCTION Considered: By Civic Finance Committee. The civic finance committee bad a meeting last evening, to discuss the tion of liquor license reduction. All the members were presnt, viz, Mayor Mowat, and Aldermen (raig, Elliott, Givens, Kent, WeCamn and Rigney, Tw. utations wal upon the et behalf of the Citi- uns' League, D. G. Laidlaw, G. M. Macd: I, O. Chown and F. King, pressed for a good reduction of licens es, in view of the vote of the peopl: in favor of reduction. For the local License Victuallers' Association, James Mclarland, G. A. McGowan, John Fisher, J. Hickey, R. Stevenson and J. Wardrobe, were present to argue their side of the question. It was in- formation the finance committee de- sired, and they asked a number of questions of each deputation. No de- cision was reached. It was decided to have the city treasurer present on Friday night, so that the financial side of the question may be thorough- ly grasped. The committee will bring in its report at next Monday even'ng's meeting of the city council. . The financial question is the main thing the committee will consider. Last year the increased license fee ew abled additional grants to be given the General Hospital and the Hotel Dieu. It will now be difficult and hard 10 reduce these grants. In view of the additional uncontrollable expendi- tures this year. the finance committee has to ask, What appropriations can we cut, down ? ; 5 One member of the committee intim- ates that it may bring in two recom- mendations to council which may ac- cept which ever it chooses. It might bring in for instance, a recommenda- tion that two licenses he out off; or, secondly, that ten licenses be cut off and that the taxes be increased from twenty to twenty and one-half mills. From the present outlook, it seems that recommendations like the above will be made. Then the council will surely have to put itseli on record. To cut off a large number of licenses, additional taxation must result. A VALUABLE INVENTION. For Keeping Locomotive Windows Free By Frost. An apparatus patented last vear by James C. Harmer, Montreal streoct, engineer on the K. & P. railway, for removing frost from windows, is this winter being used by the Intercolonial railway company. The C.P.R. com- pany is testing it, and the G.T.R. company is also likely to put it in- to operation on its line. The object of the frost remover is to keep the windows of engines clear, so that the engineer can see ahead in winter with- out opening the window. Mr. Har- mer's invgption is simple, but most valuable. (He came to the conclusion that the air brake reservoir under the engine could be utilized for more than stopping the train. It can be used for keeping the engine windows clear of frost. His mvention consists of a piece of hose, which is attacked to the air resermoir pipe. At the end of the hose is a small nozzle which is Maced directly over the window glass. he air coming through prevents the pane from becoming frosty, and it will also clean off a frosty piece of glass in quick time. Mr, Harmer's in- vention is one which will be received with great pleasure by the locomotive enginoers of the country. Portsmouth Council Meeting. A meeting of the Portsmouth coun- cil was held last evening. All members handles the situations in a clever and painstaking manuer. The scenery dar ried by the company is said to add much to the success of the play.
