Greece et the same :time sent a fraternal greeting of the allied States, Service was the first of the three States to declare war an Thursday night. Bulgaria followed with a similar declaration. A despatch from Constantinople says: The formal declaration of war against Service and Bulgaria was published by the Turkish Gov- ernment on Thursday.

The Royal Grenadiers of Toronto, one of Canada's smartest regi- ments, organized in 1862, is this year holding a grand re -union and jubilee on November 2nd and 3rd, at which it is expected about 2,000 ex -members will be present. The names and addresses of ex -members are pouring in from all parts of Canada and United States, and those who have not yet sent in their names and addressee to the Royal Grenadiers, Toronto, should do so at once, and thus avoid being over- looked.

A despatch from Lindsay says: The large mill belonging to the Baker Lumber Company was to- tally destroyed by fire late Satur- day night. The blaze was first no- ticed by the nightwatchman, who sent in the alarm, which • was promptly- responded to by the fire- men. Before the latter arrived the fire had made great headway and their efforts failed to save the build- ing. Besides the building and ma- chinery, 10 or 12 thousand pieces of barrel headings were consumed. The mill, when in operation, em- ploys seventy workmen, and was one of Lindsay's most successful industries. The loss is estimated at about $20,000; insurance about $9,000. The mill will likely be re- built during the coming winter. MILLION -D OLLAR CONTRACT. England to Make Shells for United States Navy. A despatch from Washington says: A contract for part of the ar- mor -piercing shells for the United States navy, on which the Hatfield Steel Company of England recent- ly underbid all American competi- tors by nearly $2,000 on less than a million -dollar contract for two !thousand fourteen -inch shells, and by about $300,000 on a contract of about $1,000,000 for 2,500 twelve- inch shells, will be awarded to the English concern, it was announced on Wednesday by Acting Secretary Winthrop. Just how many shells will be made by the English com- pany has not been decided, but it is said only enough will be contract- ed for to serve as a test. TRAIN IiI'1' SLEEPING BULL.

The New Corporation Counsel—New Labor Paper—Down Town Problem—A Big Audience.' After several months' delay the City Council has decided to appoint his Wor- ship Mayor Geary to the Corporation Counaelship, made vaoant by the elevation of Mr. IL L. Drayton to the chairmanship of the Dominion Railway Board. The salary is to be 58,000 a year to begin with. This ie not much advance over Mr. Geary's income as Mayor, which was 87,500. But it has the advantage of 'being perman- ent. Besides, Mr. Geary has expressed the hope that whenhe makes good the sal- ary will grow. And it doubtless will, Some aldermen who opposed Mr. Geary's appointment on the ground that he was not a big enough lawyer for the job, said they would be prepared topay $25,000 a year to the right man. Viewed from this standpoint, it is just a question if the city will not do as well with Mr. Geary on the job as it would with some man with a made reputation at 'a fancy salary. It is true he has not had. much ex,:orience in legal work. But this is partly offset by his intimate knowledge of municipal affairs. Besides, he is young, energetic, diplomatic and ardently ambi- tious, SOME SORENESS. • The sound criticism of the appointment is on the ground that no member of Connell should be appointed to a perman- ent job during his term of office. • In the present instance the Mayor admittedly did not give the subject disinterested con- sideration, and that • is something the Public, having elected him to the Chief Magistracy, had a right to expect from him on every issue, particularly on one as important as this one. There is a good deal of underlying soreness about this phase of the matter. • There is some surprise that Mr. Geary, by his action, has expressed a preference for his legal profession as against politi- cal life. He could have had a nomination for Parliament any time during • the last five years, and with the star of the Con- servative party in the :ascendant' he might have been expected to have had a brilli- ant career. And he may yet return to the political arena. Meanwhile he is to be known as G. R. Geary, K. 0., Corpora- tion Counsel.

He will likely this year be a eandidae for the Boa Control. There have been many previous attemptsI to establish a labor organ in Toronto the attempts merely served to help the newspaper graveyard. A paper e "The Toiler" was the last victim. are higher hopes for the laest venture. It starts off with' fairly liberal support the way of stock subscriptions' from' labor organizations and individuals, so that is assured of sufficient capital to give chance to get on i.s feet. To `prevent trol of the publication falling into bands of any individual or organize or even group, the number of shares mitted to any one subscriber is stn limited. FOR MAKING SOAP, SOFTENING WATER, REM °VB NG P INT, DISINFECTING SINKS. +CLOS .TS,D!RAIN$,ETC) $OLD evE.R1fWtiERE REFUSE SUBSTITUTES Both in preaching and in works it is un- doubtedly the fact that some of the churches in down town Toronto are out of sympathy with the massea whom they aro supposed to serve. The church perhaps most popular in many ways with the crowd is • Bond Street Congregational, whose destinies are presided over by Rev. Byron 11, . Stanger, Who came here several yearn ago from B methods d much lesssen- sational His me o s are a sational than those employed in this pul- pit twenty years ago by the late Dr. Wild; but he coutrives to' make hie ser- vices interesting: and he always draws full houses. He is a man of considerable personality, 'a fluent speaker -and embel- lishes his •sermons with frequent refer-- enema efer. eneea to the affairs of the hour. Some might call -some of bis addressee lectures rather than sermons, meaning that there is less of spirituality about them than is usual. Bond street church is sometimes compared to a business, of which the preaeher is the general'manager. Bearing out the analogy, he has there an office which e' occupies several hours a day. And ye pond street has no empty pews, and that is one point gained. A SPURGEON NEEDED. What the church in downtown Toronto needs to -day is a Spurgeon. It wants a man with fire and epirituality. The bar - vest is waiting for him. He could take such a building as the new arena, which will seat 7,000 persona: fill .it three times on Sunday and possibly on any other ev. ening in the week, if he.had the physical 'strength. But where is the Spurgeon com ing frem? Down town Toronto needs more, of. course, in the way of church service than a preacher, even if he were a Spurgeon, It needs a small army of workers. It has a few now loyal and devoted, but their numbers are sadly out of proportion to the work that is to do. One wonders of the churches really appreciated the. work that lies right at their hand. TORONTO'S BIGGEST AUDIENWE. Toronto's new amusement showplace, The Arena, has been successfully launch- ed with a week's "musical festival." De signed primarily for hockey matches, the promoters hope they can make use of it in the off season for all sorts of special productions. The problem will be to .fill it. It will hold eight thousand people, twice as many as any other meeting -place in Toronto, and a small city in itself. The sight on the closing night of the opening week, when every seat was filled, was one long to be remembered. The layout of the building is that of an oval amphi. theatre, without galleries. All around the oval solid masses of humanity, rising tier upon tier, furnished an impressive sight. It was the greatest concourse of men and women ever gathered under one roof in Toronto. Unless it is filled, however, the effect of the :interior is barnlike. AWARDED HELP! DAMAGES. Man Injured in Fatal C.P.R. Wreck at Hull Gets Over $20,000. A despatch from Ottawa says: C.

Mrs, Julia Polosky, who lost her hu ,band and one child recently through- typhoid, and who appar- ently became somewhat unsettled in her reason through grief: and through complications in regard to her possession of the homestead, slew her two remaining children, aged five and three years, with a carving knife, and then apparently turned the same weapon upon` her- self.
