The loss was $5,000, The old hotel was built in 1827, HYDRO SEEKS PROPERTY 1t is reported here that the Hy- dro-Blectric Commission has engin- eers at work making a survey on the power line to be constructed from Smith's Falls to Kingston, and which is to supply power from the Gatineau to points in this dis- trict.

PROBE CHILD'S DEATH An inquest was held at Sharbot Lake yesterday afternoon by Dr, Suddaby, Coroner, to inquire into the death of a 6-months-old child, 1t was claimed that improper feed- ing caused the death on April 4, The mother, Mrs, Wistard, testified that she thought feeding it con- densed milk was quite sufficient, T, J. Rigney, K.C., Crown Attorney, Kingston, was present to conduct the cross-examination of witnesses, and had the inquest adjourned for a week, It is not thought that any charge will be laid, but the had [rabid dog whie Crown desires to emphasize the importance of the case, -- DOG BITES CHILDREN Severely bitten in the face by a escaped quaran- tine, Margaret Franklin, 6 years of , whose home is near Joyce- ville, is in Kinggston General Hos- pital under close dbservation, The dog which inflicted the bites alsa bit an 11-year-old boy, Samuel, al- though mot so seriously, and this case is aleo being given careful at- tention, Rabies quarantine is now in force for 50 miles in that dis- triet. PROBABLY FATALLY BURNED Charles Smith, aged 17, son of Mr. and Mrs, Frank Smith of Pres- cott, was terribly burned yester- day, when. his clothing, which was saturated with gasoline, caught fire, In emptying a can of gaso- line a considerable quantity was spattered over him, He went to the stove, apparently to dry him self, and without a moment's warn- ing became a human torch, Before help arrived the lower part of his body and legs as well as his arms were so badly burned that little hope is offered for his recovery. STRIKE STILL UNSETTLED There is still a deadlock in the controversy between the journey- men and master plumbers in King- ston, the former still on strike, with no prospect of a settlement, The master plumbers have offered to renew the agreement under "EASTERN ONTARIO NEWS which both journeymen and was- ters have been working for the past two years, but this offer was refused by the journeymenm, who declared the new agreement was concurred in by the masters. An increase in wages from 90 cents to $1 is demanded. London, April 11.--George Moore, the novelist who has been lying in a London nursing home for a long-time and is reported as having recovered is in his 77th year, For months he had been try- ing to finish his movel "Aphrodite in Aulis," the last he intended to write, but before he reached the concluding chapter he became very ill and had to undergo an opera- tion, "Aphrodite in Aulis" relates the adventures of a young Athen- fan, and afterwards of his child- ren, in the time of Pericles. Now that Mr. Moore has improved so much in health it is probable he will complete the work, Writing of George Moore a con- tributor to a London papers says: "For centuries Ireland's prin- cipal export to England has con- sisted of literary genius, but no rarer or more exotic merchandise than George Moore's has crossed the Irish Channel, George Moore recently celebrated his 76th birth- day in a nursing home, and the pathstic circumstances which he has suspended work on 'Aphrodite in Aulis' (described 'as the novel he intends to write') 1s a brave and moving chapter of literary history, The son of the late G, H.

About halt of the G&th troop starting at 9 a.m., hiked about two miles north of Ross's Corners where the greater part of the day was spent in preparing meals, playing scout games, and general scouting practices. LJ LJ] The Patrol System, under which boys are divided into groups or patrols of eight under a patrol leader, is the whole essence of scouting, but while many scout- masters carry out the scheme so far, it is very often not realizea, that in order to carry out his du- ties with any degree of efficiency the leader must have a more ad- vanced knowledge than the boys he is intended to teach, Other. wise his influence is greatly de- will read about and practice scout. creased. Naturally a keen leader ing for this purpose--that is one way in which the system develops initiative--but it is always useful if this individual effort can he supplemented, . LJ LJ ' Many troops have found it help- ful to organize an instruction pa- trol composed of the scout master master's and all the P.L.'s and as patrol leader, the assistant scout Seconds, The "Patrol leaders pa- trol" usually meets either before or after the regular parade to take specialized instruction in badge work and general scouting, while problems which could not be brought before the Court of Hon- our in its judicial capacity, can he frankly discussed, This plan never fails to increase the efficiency of the leaders and relieves tha scout master of a great deal of work dur- ing parades, LJ J L Another good way of keeping the senior boys in touch with one an- other "hetween meetings" is the "Monthly Patrol Tea." 'This can be held at the troop Headquarters, at one of the boy's homes, or in any other suitable place, Each item of the meal is cared for se- parately, one hoy providng tea and cups, another bread, another cake, and so on, and it is always IIIT INN understood that each fellow con-! tributes no more than he can easily afford. At an informal affair of this kind, the scout master can usually learn much that is helpful about the boys' points of view. Any patrol leader can run monthly teas for his patrol on these lines with great advantage, the expense to each individual being negligible, J [ J * Owing to ap unfortunate mis- take, mention was not made last | week of the Salvation Army Troop $9.95 $19.50 Bo Beate seats de ote dusted, Eo COUPON : NUMBER 4603 BeRete teste te ite ite Rede tod _ SAVE OUR CASH COU- PONS.
