conversation having taken place at
Southampton when he was a resident
there : "Are you a mechan ie 1" "Na,
I'm Me McKarinick, Pitt a Mc-
Donald," "What do you follow then?"
a Presbyterian." This is very.
similar to, a little conversation that
took place in Clinton a couple of weeks
ago. A tive-year-old girl went into a
store and one of the clerks began chnf-
ling her. "You're Irish." he said.
"I'm not," she said indignantly,. "Ian
a Presbyterian,"
Consumption a Most Dangerous Disease.
The secretary of the Provincial

lated to arouse widespread public in-
terest. He states that in Ontario con-
sumption curries off more people than
alt other diseases combined, and that
since the compilation of his recent re-
port three thousand more persona have
succumbed to the scourge. Ile argues
that it is more dangerous to the com-
munity than any other infectious dis-
ease, and that it, is impossible for it

The Municipal Elections.
Fine Weather but Notts Large Vote Polled.
Monday, so far as the weather was
coueerned, was ate'ideal election day
but there was such a prevalent "don't-
care- whether- I- vote- or not" feeling
abroad that the vote cast was not by
any means it full one. The result of
the Mayoralty contest was generally
expected for while Mr. Jackson made a
good fight he had no organization,
that greatest of levers. Then his op-
ponent's request, that. having assisted
Lt the foundation of Staveiy Hall he be
allowed the supervision of the roofing,
too, had some effect upon the elector-
ate, especially when combined with his
pledge that he would then step down
and out.
The feature of the election was J. P.
Doherty's largo majority, for not only
did he head the poll in his own
beilliwitek of St. Andrew's hut heob-
tained a larger vote than that cast for
both candidates for the Mayoralty in
that ward. "J's", friends stood by him
splendidly and he has every reason to
feel gratified at the result.
By the defeat of Mr. Gilroy in St.
Andrew's and Mr. Walker in St.
John's Ward the Council looses two of
its best men."Plumping" defeated
both of them.
