At, the 'last regular meeting• of the Board there came up for discussion the siderite:; ity,• of having a fixed salary, attached to • the position of Treasurer, the reason for this being that -three years ago when 'Mrs. Mas- on resigned the office of 'treasurer, the Board experienced extreme eiffi- eulty'in finding a •successor..' • No :member of the Board, would under- talce`the work and the Binenee Com= `mitten was Therefore, compelled to .ge outside the.

N. Dav- ies' on Thursday and :Friday evening of last week proved quite an attrac- tion to takvnsfolk and surrounding country.. To say that it -caused a good many laughs es putting it mildly as, almost every speech held a laugh, and the cohnic acting of Remy Sloman, as Sam the negro porter, took the audience by etorm. '•S ' The story centres Around a will made by Jo'hu Winkler', in which he appoints his brother, Win, Wenkler, as executor. In this will he stipu- lates that furless his daughter, Jane marries his. •old friend, Benjamin More, one year after his death, all his hardeearned fortune goes to char- ity. If Win.. Winkler succeeds in get-; ting . Jane' to .marry •More • he ` re-: ;elves $10,000, but'if she refuses, he loses it, along with Jane's- $10,000, which the receives - if • she marries. Mora • Winicler take; his sister and. Jane; to a quiet hail in the 'Catskill 'moult- tains, called the llAlcoyn House, not- ed for its guietBess, but he does not reckon on an admirer. of Jane's, by the name o£ ]lobby Baxter. llis past life, being unknown tel his sister, is brought into eight by Baxter and as he is in love with an actress by the name of Kitty Benders, : causes his sister grave concern. MTs. Fines, as the real Kitty Ben- ders, gave a splendid lead to the cast, taking her part veil creditably. BobbleBaxter andTing, the bel l- 'boy, being old 'churns at Rale, plan a plot, in which 'Baxter appears as Kit- ty Benders end gets Winkler into a very serious condition. Upon the ar- rival of the real Kitty he is at his wits end. Mare arrives but is not given a chance to identify himself, and is used to baffle Whilder in that. he is the man n from the matrimonial agency, sent for by hint. and Ting, to marry his sister, who promises him. ten thousand dollars if he can find her a husband. The plot thickens and the appear- ance of the two Kittys at once puts them wise but owing to the fact that Winkler is still baffled, Baxter se- cures is letter from More in -which he agrees : to marry Kitty , the second, and not Jane, which clears the coast for Jane and Bobbie Baxter. Mere finds that according to his agreement he has to marry Aunt Jane, -when lie finds that Kitty is not a girl but Bob- bie Baxter. Winkler then gets his real Kitty- and the result .is he re- ceives his ten thousand' from Aunt Jane for getting More to marry her, and as the will reads that his friend. More has to marry Jane, not stating whether it is 'Jane orAuntJane, gives 'Winkler another tenthousand, and Jane receivesher share of the fortune just the same. Wm. Winkler, taken by Perce Liv- erniore, was.interpreted to very good advantage, Pols" proving as of old that he can' handle whatever part given him. Benjamin More represented by Newt. Davies, also deserves notice; as a play in Clinton without Davies is. not just the "same:" 1Vfiss Myrtle Armstrong took very capably the part of Jane. Miss Arm- strong is a very talented player, and showed up to 'very good advantage. Aunt Jane, taken by Miss Dora Sehoenhals; was also well done, Miss Dora being deserving of every praise. The part of 'Bobbie Baxter, was taken by Art. Royce, and his in terpresatidn caused many a laugh, as he disguised himiself.as`an actress his appearance as aJady caused quite a sensation. Benson Corless took the part of Ting, the bell -boy, very cap- ably, especially• as hehad only two weeks to prepare his part, Henry Seeman was just ; himself on the stage, and deserves: credit for the splendid way in which he took his part. Margaret : Cudmore. acted as ,maid to Aunt Jane and showed up to very good advantage. The selections rendered by Messrs. Kutch. Lobb,' Wendorf and Match, added very ninth to the success of the, evening:' '• Twd very 'geed houses greeted the players, although -the, storm 'nurse day night no doubt prevented' some from coning.• -Com, CONTRACTOR IVEY DIES .r • Word was received' in town ' nu Monday of the death, which occurred in Toronto on Sunday of Mr. Ivey, the contractor who built the Collegiate Instituto'la couple of, years ago. The eaitlse of deathwas pneirruonla 'Mr. Tvey made many friends while in Clin- ton who will regret: to learn of his untnnely 'death.

'itis being so liberally us- ed by the public. Visitors in town invariably exclaim at its silo and the• number of excellent periodicals pro- vided in. the reading roam. Clinton citizens generally appreciate the advantages of the Public Library but perhaps they do not fully appreciate the fact thatClinton1is favored e a ov e many towns of its size and wealth in this respect.. LAST WEEK'S STORM The severe storm of Wednesday night and Thursday last did consid- erable damage here and there, tak- ing two lives, delaying trains, block- ing locking roads and doing damage to many buildings. Ilorbert McLean of Goderich was killed when he was carried with the roof of a building which he was en- deavoring to scare, and hurled with the wreckage to the top of another building. Joseph Yeo of London, a member of a Bhnsvale family, was killed by being struck by a train while walking - on the track near Hyde Park early 'Thursday morning. The blinding sterns prevented ;rim seeing the train and also prevented the train driver seeing him. A portion of the roof of the freight shed here was blown off, large por- tions of the debris being blown against the 'house and a piece of the flying - timber went - through the window of W. J. jag's house. •For- tunately, no one was hurt but the family got a bad scare as the win- dow was crashed in in the middle of the night..,. • Trains were delayed and roads -were rendered impassible for cars for a few 'days/ as all file snow which fell was blown into heaps, but, Mon-. day and Tuesday melted most of it away.

GOOD REPORT FOR C. L The report of Nim. Levan -of the Department of Education, who recen- tly inspected the Clinton 'Collegiate Institute, was a yery satisfactory one in every respect: Mr. Levan reports the organization to be satisfactory and the staff to be doing good work. Referring to the building the in- spector made the following remarks: "This is' my first; visit to this school since the erection of , the new building, and I have been greatly struck by the contrast between pres- ent and past conditions. The present building is constructed according to the best principles of school archi- tecture,. rchi-tecture,. with excellent class -rooms, laboratories, gymnasium, and assein bly hall, together with fine prevision for modern sanitatian. It is pleasing to note the .good use that is being made of the Assembly Hall.' Here the .pupils all asemble each morning for the opening exer- tses and for a_few minutes of choral singing, These • "exercises camnult fail to, leave' their impress on each pupil and to produce a fine corporate spirit. - They are much to be coin- mended."
