let the Legislature say so, and fix the
penalty. We venture to say that if such
a law were proposed in the Ontario Leg-
islature it would be greeted by ehoute of
laughter. Why give to an irresponsible
body of physicians a power which a
Legislature responsible to the people
would not dare to exercise? Why give
to the same body judicial powers which
we refuse to trained judges? The star
chamber should be abolished.
There continues confusion of state-
mentsh magnitude f the disaster
as totec
to Valparaiso, Chili, caused by the
earthquake shooks which began on
Thursday, August 16th, and continued
at frequent intervals throughout the
next two days. Despatches from Val-
paraiso to the Associated Press received
last Saturday evening state that a mod-
erate estimate of the fatalities is 2,000,
the homeless at 100,000, and that the
property loss may be as high as $250,.
000,000, which latter is as great as the
loss sustained by San Francisco in con-
sequence of the earthqaake and fire
which devastated that city last April.
Mr. Leonard T. Bland, member of
Parliament for North Brace, died at his
home north of Kinoardine, on Sunday
morning. He had been in poor health
for upwards of a year, although able to
attend to his duties during the past
session. Mr. Bland, who was in his
53rd year, went to Kincardine some
twenty years ago from Oxford county,
and since looating there has always taken
an active interest in local affairs, having
been Reeve of the township, War-
den of Bruoe and a member of the
equalization commission of the county
previous to his return as member for the
riding at the last general election.
Because their is a general neglect
among parents and guardians of infants
to register the births . in their families and
the carelessness of doctors to register
deaths with the division registrars, Dr.

This week it is our sad duty to record
the death of another of Howiok's old
settlers in the person of Emma Hoskin,
relict of the late Hugh Carson, who
passed away on Wednesday evening,
Aug 8th, at the age of 72 years. De-
ceaed was born in Cornwall, England,
10 1835, coming to this country when
about nine years old, In 1850 she was
united in marriage to Mr Carson, living
then at Brantford, later moving to
Morris Twp., and then to Howick,
where they lived for $2 years. Deems.
ed leaves a family of ten children, seven
girls and three boys, seven of which are
still living, who are: —Rich., Alex, and
Emma, of Gorrie; Mrs Levi Galbraith,
of the 14 con; Mrs Alf Taylor, of the
15 con; Mrs Henry Zimmerman of the
8 con; and Mrs McKinney, of Goodlands,

views as expressed by correspondents.
To the Editor of the TsMEs: —
Is there a Medical Health Officer? If
so, I would kindly ask him to go down
to the western end of the town and
realize what the citizens are suffering
from the effluvia arising from the lower
pond. An epidemic of typhoid fever
might easily start from this source.
The Council must have some good
reason before allowing the water to be
lowered in the pond, but it seems to me
that it is unnecessary to allow so much
water to run out. At any rate it is at
present a nuisance, owing to the odor, as
well as a menace to the public health,
and the M. H. 0. should see that it is
abated as soon as possible.
I would also draw the attention of our
worthy Town Fathers to the fact, which
one can easily discern now, that if all
