On Behalf of Girls Is Greatly to be Commended. (Contributea.) A lady who heard the report of the general secretary of the Y. W. C. A. on "Monday night,' and who is entitled to speak with authority con- cerning it, said: "That is the best report of a Young Women's Chris- tian association I have gver heard, and I have heard a great many." A perusal of the report will lead one to Jthink the above estimate is probably well founded. . The progress of this institution during the past three years musi cheer the" hearts of all who are interested in work of that sort and not the less because it will be a surprise to many to learn that work of such a kind has been going dn in our midst quietly, unobtrusive- ly. Much of it silently, but with great effectiveness and success. To bring together girls from shops, factories and offices, many of whom are living away from home, to pro- vide them with a club where they can meef under best conditions, to terest them in education, religion, art and social work, to surround them with influences which draw out the best that is in them "where the spirit of the place is sueh that no girl who is not a Christian can come day after day under its inHuence witout seeing that there is a life of lish mon with God through Christ whieh means very much to some péo- This is a work which is 'Worthy of the best efforts that can be devoted to it. The question is up for considera- tion just now by some of the benevo- lent organizations of the city: How best can we draw the attention of parents and guardians and employers to the dangers and temptations sur- rounding young girls in Kingston to- day, and ever growing more complex and more insidipus? Perhaps the best answer, to that question is to be found within the four corners of the general secretary's report; Persuasion = wins, repression re- pels. "Thou shalt not," is as abso- ute in the 20th century as it was When Moses wrote the Ten Command- ments, but there seems to he more people to-day than ever before who don' know that.

As a teacher of long experience it has often pained me to see at school underfed, under-elothed, and almost shoeless children, with their win faces and emaciated bodies, liable at any time to become victims of some ail- ment, all because the bartender got the money which should have fed, clothed and sheltered them. In too many cases also their clothing and persons were nome too clean, for whon the poor mother had to scrub and wash for others she had neither time nor strength properly to attend to her own home and children. I am now in daily contact with sev. | eral appealing cases--the fathers in steady work at good wages, but the saloon man getting the lion's share of the weekly envelope. The longing cry of many an earnest teacher is: "Toil the temperance people to be in a hur- ry.

Tt was the intention of the paving company to .complete the - south side of the street so that the street cars would be able to rim on the new track on the south side of the street while the north 'side is being completed. On account of the delav of the city on the block on Princess street between Bagot and Montreal street it was found -necessary for the paving contractors to commiance the excavation work on the worth side of the street instead of laying the men off, Unless the city men employed doing the excavation work on the block in front of the Grand Opera House proceed at a moré rapid stride it will only be a few days until the paving contractors will be right on top of them, A ------------ men in Ankle Displaced | The many friends of "Jack" Hay, University avenue, will be sorry to hear of an aceidént 'that happened to him while playing baseball at the cricket field, Wednesday afternoon.

Peas and oats to be cut green may even yet be sown, where clover has been killed out. Millet may be sow still later.

Ham, Bdward Francisco, and Lobdon, May 21.--Queen Mary, "the economical," has just lost two of the most valuable pearls in her possession. After she last court, while the queen's dresser was asvisting her majesty to disrobe, she had some difficulty m un- fastening the queen's pearl necklace. Her majesty, making an. efiort to un- fasten the clasp herself, broke the fastening and half a dozen pearls fell to the floor. Stepping back to pick them up, the unfortunate dresser trod on two of the largest--pearls that were worth $500 apiece. Queen Mary's everyday jewels are of such enormous value that English de- tectives are constantly present to pro- tect them quite apart from maintain. ing a watchiul eye on their "royal owner. SEARCH HIGH AND LOW For Picture of Mrs. Robert Murray O'Hara 21.--Dominion postal authorities in Ottawa and elsewhere throughout Ontario are busy in the search for a photograph of Mrs. Ro- bert Murray O'Hara, the beautiful sister-in-law of F. C, T. O'Hara, depu- ty minister of trade and commesce. It is feured the photograph has fallen into the hands of unscrupulous adver- tisers who have for years been trying to secure Mrs. O'Hara's picture to use in connection with advertisements of their wares and thug emphasize their beauty and purity. Mrs." Robert Murray O'Hara lives at 20 West 129th street, New York, and a few days ago 'she mailed a photo- graph which she recently had taken to her mother-in-law, Albert street, Kingston. The letter in which the picture wascénclosed has been received by Mrs. O'Hara, Sr., but the photo- graph was missing. A= soon as the photographgvas tak- en by the New York photographer, Mrs. O'Hara received numerous Shh from advertising firms asking to be #l- lowed to use it in' their advertise: ments, for which privilege 'they were willing to pay large sums. To all of these offers Mrs. O'Hara gave a fusal. Mrs. O'Hara's beauty has caused her to be annoyed for years by firms wishing to use her photograph in ad- vertisements. Fien when she was a child herjpdrents were in constant re- ceipt of offers from various firms, but they declined large sims and kept the photographs private. Since her mayriage to Mr. O'Hara the offers have heen renewed, but the lady has declined them. all. Ottawa, May re- HERR BIG HAUL OF FURS. Made by Provincial Police In Wes- tern Ontario.
