Kyle Stock company drew an immense au- dience at the Grand Opera House last night. The management presented an entire new programme. The moving ictures were beautiful productions. The vaudeville sketch, "Truth," in which T. E. Kyle and Irene Gurney took the leading parts, gave much pleasure. T. E. Kyle sang in the sketch, "I am Rob Roy McG , Tam (O'Shanter, Shamus Denis 'Brien," and Charles Stuart sang "Don't Take Me Home." In the amateur contest much interes was evinced. The prizes were award- ed as follows: --First, Stanley Christ mas (a little tot) who sang sweetly "My Little Esquimauk"; a boxing con- test between Stinson and Morris, winning the second prize. The third was taken Ry Miss Daisy Andrews, who gave the skirt dance in a graceful manner, The company will appear to-night and several nights next week, with a new programme and several additional people. HELD INFORMAL DANCE. The A Fine Affair at Frontenac Busi- ness College. Thé students of the Frontenac Busi ness College held an informal dance, on Friday evening, for their friends, and ithe affair was a most enjoyable one. Dancing was held in the long room, and the music for the occasion was rendered by McAuley's and Salisbury's orchestra. The programme was a most delightful one. There were sixteen numbers, with nearly as many encores, to say nothing of the extras. The ever' popular "barn dance," was also put, on, and much enjoyed. Principal Stock- dale was master of ceremonies for the evening, and he well looked after all the guests, the success of the event be- ing mainly due to the work put forth by himself. Fables were set in one of the large, airy rooms, and there, supper was', served about It o'clock, atter which there was dancing again -until one o'clock, when the proceedings were brought to a close with "God Save the King." ------ GETTING READY FOR CAMP. Now Recruiting For the 47th Regiment. Just a.liitle over 3 month now, and the big military camp, at Barriefield, will be in full swing. Recruiting is and from present indications there will be no trouble whatever, in securing the required number of men. There are eight companies of the 47th regiment, | and each company is required to take forty men. Those who are anxious to go under canvas this year, should lose no time in putting in their applications. The camp will open on June 15th. According to the orders issued, the 46th regiment, with headquarters at Lindsay, will not camp at Barriefield this summer. The orders say that the men will drill at their own headquart- ers. This news will be received with genera] regret by the members of this regiment, as last year, the members were highly pleased with their camp at Barriefield. TO LOCATE HERE. R.

He wants to be permitted to place his hands it before it is hoisted into the belfry. He thinks that the bells tone sho ave bees first test y experts like Oscar Telgn "Bab" Reid and "Nat" Dscar Tel The latter veteran musician was to have been here when the spring birds began to sing, but he has not yet entered the town gate. It would be a good thing, the La an thinks, if the town coun- cil would also appoint the above three named gentlemen to report upon the tunefulness of the five-cent street gramap! . He understands that Messrs. Reid and Greenwood are experts with the tuning fork. Last Sabbath evening, the Lampman went to a church where the lady choristers are gowned, bug wear nothing on their heads but their hair. ie doesn't like to see women's heads u- covered in a church. It's not Biblical, and hence is ten times more objection- able than the higher criticism, for people pay attention to the one, and don't bother their heads about the other. The Lampman also attended a church where the minister endeavored to shame the ci egation into remaining for communion. It just occurred to him that if people went to communion be- cause urged, and because they thought it would look well if they. did, and re- lieve them of a pastor's scolding, what. good would such partaking do them. i [The whiskey spongers are not de- creasing here, the Lampman says. One runs into the professional ~sponger down town every day. The mar who holds the place for getting the most free whiskey in Kingston has lots © time on his hands, and commands a view of the chief drinking houses around the market, He used to come into the bar when the Lampman was enjoying his "horn," and extend the glad-hand, but his tactics soon became stale and he is no longer invited to par- take of a friendly cup of booze. Next to the sponger is the man who takes the big drink. Some bartenders keep various sizes of glasses for their cus- tomers. The man who could swallow half a pint of whiskey at a gulp, soon becomes known, and a very small glass is handed him when he asks for Moun- tain Dew. Gentlemen receive large glasses, because they are trusted to take just an ordinary amount, and the Lampman is one of these. a-- Why shouldn't the fire department be reorganized? the Lampman asks. He's disgusted with the Jetters written by knockers against improving the town's fire service. Other places are re-Or- ganizipg, and why not Kingston? Even sleepy old Belleville is turning its fire department up side down, and asking its brigade to resign. It's time, He says, that the knockers were tied up, so. that this old town may take a Step ahead: THE TOWN WATCHMAN, Unsatisfactory BEvidemce. Dublin Times. "Did you see the shot fired?" was the question asked of a witness in a recent trial. "I. did not," was the response, "but I heard it foired." "The evidence is not satisfactory," sharply announced the presiding ma- gistrate. "Step down." This legal finding was evidently not precisely to the liking of the Irishman. for no sooner had he left the stand and turned his back than he gave way to a somewhat derisive Jus. This had the effect of arousing<in turn-"the judge's fire, and he immediately '¥e- called the offender. "How dare you show such contempt of court?" demanded His Honor "Whag do yeu-mean by laughing in that manner?" "Did Your Honor sec me laugh?" asked the Irishman, in a most respect ful tone. "No, but I distinctly heard you laugh," said the magistrate. A twinkle came into the eye of the witness. "Such ividence is not satis- factory, Your Honor," said he quietly. Whereupon every one including the judge, laughted. ani p-- He Took The Smallest. Magazine. 3 the baby came to Mary's was told that the doctor She 'thought he kept al Mary had bee taught that politeness was one the greatest charms a person possess. One day the doctor called and said: "Mary, we have a new baby at our} house. Would you like to go with me to see it?" Mary was delighted. The baby was very tiny, only weighing three and a half pounds. = When Mary saw this frail bit of face to the doctor and said : "| think you. were very polite take the smallest for yourself." A Heawy. Counter. T. P's' Weekly. During the encampment of several regiments of British soldiers 'in a cer- tain district the wood and turf used for cooking purposes were carted by tho neighboring farmers. One day a don key-cart full of turf was brought ing the driver being a country lad. As a regimental band was p . he st in front of the donkey and held the animal tightly by the head. Some of the "smart ones" gathered round highly pleased, and the wit of the party asked why he "held his brother so tightly.". The reply was crushing?

"I'll impose a fine of $2 and costs, said Magistrate Farrell, in plice court to-day, to Emerson Babcock, who was arraigned on a charge of drunkenness. Babcock was taken in charge on Princess street yesterday, by Constables Davis and Mullinger. - Complaint was made earlier in the day about Babcock firing! off a rifle in his back yard, but ng, charge of this kind was pressed in police court. i ------ \ Held Up The Accounts. City' Auditor Miller had to' hold over the accounts passed at the last Board of Health meeting, as in reading over the recent amendment to the Ontario Health act he found that the accounts hereafter must be signed by the chair- man and secretary of the board. Here- tofore the accounts were paid when the medical health officer signed them, but the amendment to the act relieves him, and places the responsibility upon the chairman and the secretary. Made Presentation. Thomas McArdle, a popular youug Kingstonian, is leaving to take up resi- dence in Chiicag , and the good wishes of his many friends will accompany him, Mr. McArdle has for some time been a valued member of the job de- artment of the Whig office, and on *riday night, his fellow workers waited on him and Jiesented him with a pair of cuff links, the gift being ac- companied by an address. Mr. Mc. Ardle will be accompanied to Chicdgo by his sister, Miss lizabeth McArdle. Warning From Portsmouth. The Portsmouth Philosopher writes as follows: --"Could you inform me what member of the Automobile Club ran his machine into Newman's fence out Portsmouth wiy a few days ago, and knocked it down. I wish you would tell him to keep his machine on the road, as there 1s a by-law agdinst funning it on the walks. If our coun- cil catches him knocking dewn fences in our village, he will be summoned be- fore his worship, Colonel Hunter. I'm told there was a bookseller doing some fancy automobile stunts out this way during the week, and trying to climb fences and trees." > L] Regarding Sydenham Lane. Provided the Regiopolis College trus- tees grant the city the Sydenham lane in front of the Hotel Dieu for a street, would the city council spend moriey upon it as a lane, or require enough ground on the east side to make the street the full regulation width of forty- six feet. Of course the city must wails to see if a gift of the land will be made, But if it is, the city engineer would not recommend that the place be graded unless--it-was made a proper sized street. To do this; would Tequire the removal back towards the Hotel Die building of the stone wall and a lot of filling. in. It would perhaps cost the city $2,500 to make the blogk even. if the Regiopolis College corporation made a gift of the land. e---------- THE AWFUL "MERRY WIDOWS" They Are Cause of Great Deal of Trouble. "[ notice that the Guelph Ministerial Association have passed a resolution, condemning big hats in the church,' remarked a citizen, to-day, "Do you know I think the members of that as- sociation did just what was right. It is a shame," he added, "because some- times when a man goes to church, he is unable to get a glimpse at the preach- er, or even the choir, because thee 18 so much headgear in front of him. It would certainly be a thing for Kingston, if the ladies would carry out the plan suggested by the Guelph min- isters, that they either remove their hats in church, or wear ones of more modest dimensions. At all the small theatres this same rule should apply." Order Of Good Templars.
