—For some years the congregation of
Jarvis street Baptist church,l'oronto,
has emphasized its belief in the duty of
separating church and state by sending
to the city an annual cheque for the
amount of the taxes on its property,
which it was not in law required to pay.
Perhaps the people thought that the
example would have an educational
effect, but if they did they have been
disappointed; no other church has fol-
lowed its example, nor has its course
been appreciated by the city. Indeed,
of late it would seem as if the city set
out deliberately to show its contempt
for the people who were making this
sacrifice to principle, The city took the
taxes paid by the one church while it
proceeds to give the property of the city
to a congregation of another denomina-
tion. That proved the laat straw, and
Jarvis street church has given notice
that its voluntary contributions to the
city tax department are to cease. The
mase is one that brings out strongly the
particular injustice connected with the
tax relations of the churches and the Lowe told Mr. A. H. Muegrove, of
state, Wingham, and the resident ministers.

—The Walton correspondence in last
week's Brussels Post contained the fol-
lowing reference to the death of Mrs.
Maggie Brown Pollard, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Brown, of Blyth: "It
was a very sad surprise to the commun-
ity last Saturday morning to leers that
Maggie Brown, beloved wife of Mr.
Joshua J. Pollard, south of Walton,
had passed away Friday evening about
eight o'clock. She was only ill about a
week, heart failure being the cause of
demise. Mrs. Pollard was a daughter
of Mr. Wm. Brown, of Blyth, and wes
married to her now bereft partner four
years ago last February. Deceased
was 118 years and two months old. The
subject of this notice enjoyed the love
and good fellowship of a large circle of
friends who will greatly regret her sud-
den demise. The funeral took place on
Sunday afternoon. Rev. W, W. Leech
conducted the service at the hones and
Rev. John Holmes, of Blyth, officiated
at the cemetery at that town, where
interment was made, The pall bearers

The Tramp Nuisance.
Prompted by the murder of Glory
Whalen at Colliegwood, of which
tramps are suspected, the provincial
government is sending out a circular
letter to the various police magistrates.
The letter reads: "The murder of an
innocent child at Coiling wood has again
called attention to the danger arising
from tramps and vagrants roaming
about the country unchecked. Most of
the burglaries and other crimes cont•
mitted in various parts of the province
have been the work of tramps of the
class that usually work along the rail-
ways, and camp in barns on the out-
skirts of the cities, towns and villages.
It is desired that these men be driven
out of the province, and it is thought
that the best way to attain this result is
for the magistrates before whom any of
these tramps are brought on charges of
vagrancy to impose the full terns of im•
prisonment in the central prison allowed
by the law. The practice of giving
them the option of a rine or leasing the
municipality in a few hours hue pro-
duced very unsatisfactory results. The
department, therefore, desires you, when
any of these men are brought before
you, to administer the law strictly and
rigorously, and the more so as good re-
sults have followed from the action
taken along the lines indicated. The
railway authorities are co-operating
with the department, and I have to ask
you at all times to assist the railway
constables who may be acting in the
cases mentioned."
