The class meeting was dealt with by Chnncellor Burwash, of Victoria Univer- sity, in an address to Conference, The speaker pointed out that if the class meeting were to become again the pow- er that it had once been in Methodism, it 'was necessary that it should 'oc no formal affair, but a vital, living centre of religious experience.

Men Exchange Wives With One Another, Regina, Sask., June 3.—That im- morality, not only among young men and young women and girls., but among married people, exists in Re- gina to an alarming degree, is the accusation of Magistrate Trent, who wants to know wnen the Social and Moral Reform League is going to keep the city clean. "I know for a fact," said the Mag- istrate, in an interview, "that some men in this city are making a regu- lar practice of changing their wives with one another. Some of the apart- ment blocks are veritable hives of licentious debauchery and are used as a rendezvous by 'Siang' couples for immoral practices. "Only recently evidence was sub- mitted during a trial before me to the effect that at a certain dance hell in the east end, 'respectable women are allowed to attend the dances free, while an entrance dee of fifty cents is levied against those women who are known to be leading immoral lives. That, in itself, is a pretty good indi- cation of the condition of things which exists in the city to -day. "There is another evil, which is very prevalent in the apartment blocks around town, and that is the vice of gambling. Night after night young men congregate in. one anoth- er's rooms to play poker, and some- times for consid rable stakes. I know that it is going on to a surprising ex- tent, and the police know it, too," Yesterday morning - Magistrate Trent sentenced a woman to four months' imprisonment on a charge of using a room at a leading hotel for immoral purposes.

Ottawa, June 2. -----The latest word in palace hotels en this continent in point of chaste and impressive archi- tecture, in point of beauty of interior decorations, and in point of com- pleteness of arrangements for the comfort and convenience of guests, was spoken last night, when the Chateau Laurier the new two -mil- lion -dollar hotei or the Grand Trunk Railway Company, was quietly open, ed to the publie. Vice -Presidents Kelly and Dalyrmple and Messrs. II. R. Charl- ton and Cy- Warman, of the headquar- ters staff, were hosts at an inforznal banquet to theArliamentary Prose Gal- lery, and. a few representative Montreal, Boston and. New York journalists. A sil- ent toaet, drunk to the memory of Mr. Hays was the gathering's tribute to the man who originated the enterprise, and who had planned to make its completion an event of national interest. With the opening of the hotel there was opened at the same time the company's netv million -dollar central station. Both struetures, situated in the heart of the capital, add an ina- posing* architectural addition to the new "Plaza Laurier/' and provide what experts declare to be the finest hotel in respect of architecture and appoint- ments on the continent, and a station adjoining and connected with a subway that is uneurpassed in convenience and geaeral richness of design by any ter- minal of its size in the world. The hotel, eituated in Major's Hill Park, at the northeast corner of the plaza, and overlooking the Parliament buildings and the city postoffice to the west, is of noble Chateau architecture, with towering pinnacles and elassie out- lines of simple dignity. It is built of granite and light buff Indiana sand- stone, each of the 350 rooms looking out either on the park or on the plaza, or across the. Ottawa River to the blue Laurentine hills. In the rotunda, on en- tering, is first seen a marble bust of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, resting on a large marble pedestal, the work of Paul' Chevre', the Canadian sculptor. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was the firet to sign the hotel register yesterday, leading two hundred , other opening day guests. The hotel fills a long -felt want in the capital, and Ottawa now expects to be no longer side-tracked by Mont- real and Toronto in regard to tourist traffic..

AM..* ear, Detective Burns Brings the Councilmen to Book. New York, June Burus, Odd ef the Nation:it Detective ttgency, re- turned yesterday from Atlantic City, where he has just sprung the trap bait- ed months ago, itt lirbleh hehas caught a fine assortment of city eouncilmen, ringsters, grafters and political parasites who have been waxing fat at the eost of the city's good name. Discussing his most reeent coup, Mr. Burns said: "For years Atlantie City has been cursed with a lot of p6liticr.: sharperand crooks who have been we- rying things there with a high hand. The system of graft reached to the high places in the city government. It permeated councils, it commercialized municipal improvements, it levied its tax upon various forms of vice, protect- ed crooked poolrooms and, gambling houses, and took its toll from city con- tracts, such as street paving, sewer jobs and. ditching, whieh hist named enter- prise reached the dimensions of a 500,000 affair. It collected toll from all kinds of permits, franchises and other privileges, legitimate aud iliegi timate. "It happened that somewhat more than a year ago a party of respected and responsible men, who have the real good of the great summer resort at heart, came to me and asked me if I thought it possible to clean up the town. I listened to their story ancl told them I was sure we could make a genuine house cleaning of it, if they meant busi- ness and were willing to let the big aud little crooks be caught in the net. "Well, I. put some of our best men at work on various ends of the Atlantic City ease. They had been at it for a year, and now we are merely drawing in the net. I suppose that before we g -et through there will be forty or fifty men more or less concerned in our re- velations, but we don't expect to send them all to prison. Some are more guilty than others.. "I was particularly anxious to get at the crooks who had been trusted in high places inthe city government. So we arranged to frame up an attractive scheme to put through the council an ordinaece for a concrete plaza to replace the present boardwallk. We hed real plans and blue prints and specifications drafted, and we even rented the neces- sary yard spaces where the work of mix- ing the eoncrete was supposedly to be done. Otte of my detectives•posed suc- cessfully as a New York contractor. "As everybody knows now, some of tile smartest of the 'smart' ones were completely taken in, so genuine did everybody appear. They sold their votes in -Ow council for a few bunches of marked /sills, and at; the proper time the dictagraph as well as competent witnesses, was right on the ground to record the crooked transactions." Atlantic City, June 2.—Although fur- ther sensatious are looked for in the councilmanic graft investigation, noth- ing developed up to yesterday afternoon. Three councilmen who -were accused in a statement by the detective agency making the investigation of having ac- cepted a bribe of $500 in conneetion with the inteeage by councils of a bill provid- ing for a concrete esplanade, to -day made sweeping denials that they had been bribed. GERMAN AIRSHIP The New Zeppelin Makes Satisfactory Trip. Hamburg, Cerma»y, June 3.—The new military airship Zeppelin III. arrived here at 9.35 'o'clock this morning, having covered the course from Friedrichshaven to Hamburg, a distance of 450 miles, in ten hours and 25 minutes. Count Zep- pelin piloted the dirigible on its maiden voyage, which lay over I3asel, Frank- fort -on -the -Main, Gottingen and Bre- men, Making an average speed of about 43 miles an hour the airship easily ex- ceeded the requirements of her specifi- cations, which called for a speed of 38 miles an hour. It had been generally ex- pected, however, that she would equal or exceed the record of "Z IT," the only other Zeppelin dirigible now in military service airship of the Zeppelinttype has. been ordered by the government. 10-40-* THE RACES AA* Ague ar Toronto Methodist District Deplores Gambling.

The battle ground was .the yard of the Roman Catholic Church ef Our Lady of the Rosary. - The strikers who participated. in the affray were prim:many Greeks aod Ger- mans. It is alleged that a Greek striker interfered with a woman on her way to work in the mill, The woman's screams brought a policeman to her assistance, but the officer was roughly handled by a crowd at strikers, and, a large band of police was rushed to the scene. The strikers took up a position on top of a slope in the churchyard, and from this elevated' position they maintained a con- tinuous bombardment with bricks and stones. Their aim generally was good, and many of the -officers were painfully hurt. Tho officere (lunged up the hill twice, but eaeli time weee driven hack by a ehower of well -directed stones.

SEARCHLIGHTS Admiralty Forbids Their Use on llierchaA Ships. New York, June 3.—A London cable says: The scientific journal, Nature, calls attention. to the fact that the tion - use of searchlights by merchant ships is due to the action of the British ad- miralty. 'The great value of searchlights for navigation was reported to the Lords uommissioners of the admiralty by i.d. mired Sir Beauchamp Seymour in 1870. Dr. Henry White, F. R. S., had previous- ly Bubmitted certain inventions to the admiralty, and a number of battleships were equipped with searchlights. When attempts were made later to est:0)1'191i searchlights on merchant ships, the ad- miralty intervened and claimed the ex- clusive use to the use of searchlights on the alleged ground that their brilliancy interfered With the navigation of other ships. The reault is that to -day none of the Atlantic linerare equipped with searchlights. la a paper read before the Literary and Philosophical Society, Dr. Wilde said, referring to the loss of the Ti- titnie: "It was repeatedly stated in evidence that at the time of the collision and for some hours afterward, the atmosphere was perfectly clear; so much so that the stars were seen brightly on the horizon. If, therefore, the Titanic had been egnipped with an efficient searchIght, the iceberg would have shone out by re- fleetion at a distance of several miles (visible to all persons en deck) and the collision therewith would have been eas- ily avoided, "The .ultimate responsibility, there- fore, for the calamity, which we all de- plore, rests upon the mtval authorities at Whitehall through their blind policy of exeluding searchlights from the Mer- cantile Marine." *4-4 POOR RECTORS Glimpses of Actual Condit. ions of English Clergy. London, June 3.—A glimpse of the poverty in which many country clergy- men live and work in England is opened by twenty appeals which were evoked by an adverfisemeat by a Coventry doc- tor, who offered a bicycle to a poor clergyman in a country parish. There is a Welsh rector among the applicants whose stipend has averaged less' than $720 a year during the last five years and who has nine children. His parish is fifteen miles from a town• and it is over eight miles in length. A curate of 56, with three children, on $696 a year, a lay reader, with a family of two and an income of $386 year, a vicar of 59, who has struggled to bring up a family of six—such are typi- eal instanees of the hard working meh who carry ow the work of the Chureh for a bare pittance, and are eager for the chance of an old bicycle to save them some of the weary tramping that their labors entail. sr 1...1.•••••••••••• SAVED IN TIME Child Was Almost Drowned 111 Posthole.
