Steivart noinmated P. Holt, and'Alessrs. Patterson and Connolly, Dr. Rollins. During the proceedings a great calm pervadel anl before the placid feeling had lost its power, Coun- cillor Kerr aadreesed the nembers on the necessity of. eschewing political feeling in, their meeting-,, 4111d then outlined it plan for the obliteration of party spirit, one adopted in many county councils namely that of elect- , mg a Conservative one year and it Liberal the following. To get over the difficulty caused by the, nomina- tion, he suggested, that the Q. C. and M. D. settle the matter between them- selves for the present year. Mr. Kerr was followed by other councillors, and all agreed as to the advisibility of catrying out the pro- gram, and a motion (fgough not min- uted) WaS Carried by a standing vote to carry out the plau so far as the pres- ent members of the Council were con- cerned.

On the other hand there are church society nieetings, genet al prayer meeting,s, week evening classes, Junior turd Senior.. League, Mission Bands etc., all good in their place.

Within a few weeks it has been p11110 the front rank of city dailies. It has cut awav- from, the Touonto tra,clition about afternoon papers, and has enlarged itS slze and the scope of its news so that it is now on an even 'keel with its morning contemporaries. rt splendid special cable service is a costly feature of the papef.'s im- pr()vment. In London, New York, Chicago, Boston, and Washington it has its own residentcoreespondents, as well as in the chief cities of the Dominion. • In Wall news The Star has forstalled its competitors on many important oc- . Its correspondence, from the Cana- dian contingent in, South. Africa in- cludes some of the most 'interesting let ter's that conieto tell the people of this Dominion of the trials and the gallantry of 0111' soldiers. • Seeing that the markets and ex- changes in the world's great trading centres aee all closed before the after- noon papers are printed, it has been one of the unaccountable things that the morningpapers should ever have been looked ,aor and waited upon for their commercial and financial pages. The Toinnto Star btkes full advantage of the time of its publication at 4 o'clock in the afternoon to present full and reliable reports from all the trading centres, as well as the local ex -changes. These reports are published fifteen hours (dread of the morning papers. It has lately engitged one of the best drawing citsels in the -newspaper business in the person of Satu Hunter, the ciutoonist, who went over this week to The Star, -whose front page here- after his; limner will go to enliyerl. Another addition to the SI 11 staff of more than passing interest was the en- gagement of Mr. Joe Clark, "Mack" of Saturday Night. The, Star's man- agement are going the way to make the paper the most readable in Canada. . Erreitits. 11 RII1S —10 Craig, on Jan. 22nd. the wife o.f W. ,A.
