excessive charges they have no oc-
casion to object to an investiga-
tion. At least they might condes-
\
cent] to make an explanation.
The remark has been very fre-
quent since this discussion began
that there were other departments
of town affairs that were over-
charged. and that they also should
be investigated. This may be true,
but whether true or not, it does
not in any way affect the issue
that has been raised relative to
the department of elections.
We think it would be well to
have a competent committee ap-
pointed to look over all the town
affairs. They might be able to.
suggest some better methods than
are now being used.
During,r the course of the hear-
ingof the claims against the Duke
of h’lanchcsterhit transpired that
ill order to secure £200 cash, the ,
duke was obliged to take a Bible!
which the money lenders valued
at £75. For the cash and Bible
the duke gave a [Homissory note
for £450. As the duke said he
did not immediately require the
Bible. it was left behind and was
never claimed. Those who are
trying to settle up the Duke of
Manchester's affairs, objected to
pay for it, anti the judge in the
bankruptcy court reduced the bill
by £40.
The State Department oiiicials
are more sanguine than they have
been of late as to the successful
outcome of the efforts now being
put forth ill behalf of Miss Stone.
So far, it is true they have not suc—
ceedcd in the establishment of
communication with the kidnap-
')(‘l‘S. but the reports they have re-
:eived from Spencer Eddy, at
Constantinople. and Mr. Dickin-
son. at Sofia. encourage the belief
that they are about at a point
.vhere direct negotiations can be
)pencd with the brigands.
WHAT, WOMEN ARE DOING.
The woman who wears a large but
must dress her hair very soft anti
loosely.
What elegant days these are to be.
tramping or driving, golfing or wheel.
fun over the fields and country roads.
llosy cheeks and gay spirits are Kitten
'11 these ways. .
Wheu'yotl swithe bow on a woman’s
shoe at the bottom of the lacing, you
may know that she laced her shoes
from the top downward. The bow must
be tied very neatly, and wide lacinga
or ribbon must be used.

No woman wnose back is at all curv-

beautiful and even the person whose

waist down very snugly where the line
of the buttons comes, it it is buttoned
at the back.

Views—Wrong to Kill on. Sabbath.
The changes in the "election law:
from time to time and also in the
manner of transacting business which
permits of a men taking recourse to
the bankruptcy court has caused sev-
eral to refer back to hip old blue laws
of the state which forced a man jailed
for debt to be taken out and sold to
make satisfaction for, his creditorl.
The same lows also restricted pub-
lic office to men only in full commun-
ion of zone of the churches allowed in
this dominion. The changes wrought
in the laws governing the subjects re-
ferred to has revealed some interest-
ing facts appertaining to the laws
which governed this section of the
country 100 years ago. Here are a few
of the interesting ones set forth.
If one person turns Quaker he shall
be banished and not suffered to re.
turn upon the pain of death.
No one shall be a‘ freeman or give
a vote unless he, be converted, and a
member in full communlorl of one of
the churches allowed in this Domin-
ion.
No man shall hold any office, who
is not sound in faith and faith-
ful to his Dominion; and whoever
gives a vote to such a person shall
pay a fine of £1; for the second of-
fense he shall be dlafranchlsed.
No Quaker or- dlaaenter from the
established worship of this Dominion.
shall be allowed to give a vote for
the election of magistrate or any of-
floor.
No food or lodging shall be offorded
to a Quaker, Adumlte or other Heretic.
