AN INTERESTING OCCASION.
Dr. Strang's Portrait Presented at Col-
legiate Institute.
A pleasant event took place on Mon-
day afternoon at the Collegiate Iteiti-
tote, the students gathering in the as-
sembly room at 3 o'clock to witness
the presentation of a portrait of Dr.
11. I. Strang on behalf of the Collegi-
ate Institute Literary Society.
The picture was unveiled by Rev,
Donald MacGillivray, D. D., in whose
career Dr. Strap has always•had a
special interest, for the now eminent
missionary secured hie high school
training under Dr. Strang and was
the first of the Doctor'. "boys" to go
t 1 University, where he took a
notably high standing. Dr. MacOil-
livrsy after unveiling the portrait ad
dreamed the students in • most inter
eating manner, giving tbenn an ides of
the missionary problem in ('hina in its
larger aspects and impressing them
with a sense of the responsibility lying
upon the Christian peoples for the ex-
ample which they present to the
Chinese jn their national conduct as
well as in their individual lives.
Dr. Strang expreesed his gratitude
to the students for this latest instance
of their kindness towards him, and
Principal Hume also spoke briefly, ex-
pressing his appreciation of the occa-
sion.
Dr. Strang's portrait hangs in the
assembly hall, with those of others
who have been prominently connected
with the school stall,

Board of Trade Suggests that

The regular meeting of the town
council was held haat Friday evening.
Before the clerk had concluded the
reading of the minutes of the last
meeting of the council all the mem-
bers were in their places with the ex-
ception of Councillor Humber, who
arrived twenty minutes late.
Mayor Reid told the council that he
had been interviewed by J. W. Craigie
in regard to securing the use of
the office in the package freight sbel
st the harbor during the season of pi-
senger navigation. Mr.Craigie told him
he had been uoable to come to terms.
with Mr. Sturdy. the prevent leasee.
After some discussion a motion was
made by Reeve Munnings an.1 Coun-
cillor Vanatter, instructing the clerk
to write Mr. Sturdy and inform him
that if be is unable to make arrange-
ments the council will take the matter
p.
u in a petition, residents on Brock
- street made a request that the side-
walk on tbe north side of Brock street
be removed to the outside of the trees
to conform with the walk on the south
side of the street. It was asserted
that "the cinders which have been so
kindly dumped along the north side of
the street is a disgrace to our street,
and weizillygimst
be rewo down hatrohe same
on
the outside of trees. The natter erlwas
referred to the public works commit-
tee.
. Tho chief of police sent a request for
suits of uniform for himself and the
police sergeant. The request was re-
ferred to the special committee.
His Honor Jude Holt, president of
Alexandra Hospital, Bent a request
asking that the annual grant to the
hospital this year be at least 11900.
The letter was referred to the finance
committee.
J. 8 McMath applied for the posi-
tion of special constable while the mil-
itary camp is here. The application
was referred to the special committee,
Reg. R. Elliott sent a letter to the
council in which he agreed to pay *25
cash rental for the use of the six acres
adjoining Victoria school. He also
agreed to repair the fence. On mo-
tion of Councillor Humber it was de-
cided to accept Mr. Elliott's offer, pro-
viding that the fewer is flxed satisfac-
torily under the supervision of the
public works committee,
Jas. H.-Tigert tendered his resigna-
tion as auditor and the Reeve, in mov-
ing the acceptance of it, PxpPreseed the
regret of the council et Mr. Tigert's
intended removal from Goderich.
Two communications -one to the
town clerk, and the other to V. M.
Roberts -were received from the
Bank of Commerce at Chatham, in
referenoe to the assignment of the
moneys due the contractor to the
Bank. The lettere were filed. Reeve
Munnings, chairman of the public
works committee, intimated tbat the ,$
letters wage not satisfactory to him.
He said CKt the town wanted permis-
sinn to pay the account of the Lock
Joint Co.. but this permission had not
been given. Speaking further of tbe
attitude of tl.c Chatham Bank man-
ager, the Ree% .• said : "We want him
to ask no to pay the Lock Joint
people, and until he does he gets no
money."
As he thought it advisable to keep
the matter in abeyance Reeve Mun-
nings gave notice of motion that at
the next regular meeting of the coon•
cal he would move to rescind the mo-
tion passed on April 19th, which
authorized the assignment of moneys

tion Co. by the town to the Bonk of
Commerce at ()bathers). The Reeve
Faye this notice of motion at the meet -
ng on May 3rd, but he did not think
that conditions warranted any action
being taken : hence the renewal of hie
notice of motion.
The public works committee re-
ported that a b0l�allofi watering
wagon had been ordered from the
American Road Machine Co., and that
arrangement' had been made with
Geo. Beacom for the nee of a horse on
this sprinkler at the rate of fifteen
ts per hour. The report passed.
The finance committee recom-
mended that a bylaw be passed pro-
viding for the borrowing of necessary
money until ouch time as the same
can be collected as tales, to meet the
payment of interest on the bonds of
the Ontario West Shore Railway that
were guaranteed by the town, it
so was recommended that 8. Bisset
paid $36 for gravel as amount in
1 that Lou Ma•kell he paid the
m of SSD for 200 shade trees es ac-
unt in full, and that a number of
her accounts be paid. It was re-
rted that the proceedings in non -

Life on the Rolling Main
Not What It Is Cracked Up to `Be -So
the Deckhand Discovers.
"What kindergarten lid you rob?"
was the pertinent (or impertinent)
query bellowed at the captain of one
of the boats which wintered at tiode-
rich as she entered the lock at the Soo
on her first trip this season.
It is no unusual sight to see boys in
short trousers acting in tea capacity
of deckhands on the steamers calling
here this season. Tempted by the
wages of S20 a month and the glowing
pictures by deep-sea writers of "life
on the billowy main," the boys leave
good jobs in town, where ten hours
seem» a long, long ay's work, to find
that on the boat they must work at
least twelve hours a day, with the
probability of being called n at
any time. day or night. to handle lines
or sweep the hold. The work, too, is
of the most trying character. Two of
the tour dockhands form what is known
as t he coal watch. Their duty is to pass
eoel from the bunkers to the firemen,
and to wet down and hoist out the
ash*,. Rbovelling soft coal in the
open air is a dirty job: down in the
stoke -hold, far below the water Iinei it

After the watch is over an hour
may profitably be spout gouging the
coal from eyes and ears and removing
the grime which extends from the tip
of the tallest hair to the extreme end
of the bigthe nail. After washing up
and dining, the "deckle" in free to
wander about the decks or through
Um streets of the town -or to t irn in
for a well-earned ,noose. Tbi• latter
pleasure may be seridusly int,•tfered
with by the attacks of certain small
insects which make very nnpl %sant
Ibed-fellows. Very few deckhan.tm re-
main more than one or two tripe on a
boat, and this continual shining about
flakes it hard to keep 'any boat en-

After one has passed the deckhand
stage, however, conditions improve.

etc., penally bunk two in a room,
