THE CHlEF'S ) PLAN.
He thought by economizing here and
there the ordinary expenses could be
cut down to such an extent that it
Will be necessary to ask for but little
more than was allowed by the esti-
mates committee last year, to put the
department on a paid basis in a small
way at the very beginning of the COM
ing fiscal year.
His idea is to engage eighteen addi-
tiOnal permanent men and distribute
them among the central city cOmpa-
MES, with possibly an extra man for an
outside company where one Is particu-
larly needed. and gradually increase
the number as the city can afford it,
until the whole department will be
made up Of paid men. Last year the
fire department was allowed $36. 400.
With $4,000 and the cutting down of
the various running expenses. Chief
Hickey thinks it will be possible to
make the start for a paid department.
The committee was unanimously in fa-
vor of the plan and decided to urge it's
adoption upon the estimates commits

Where q constable renders services
which pertain to the office of sheriff,
he is not acting in the character of a

Ger, and comes under the act of 1868
The latter act prescribes 81 as his fee
for serving an attachment against a
witness, but makes an allowance for
mileage for the witness. The county
Is not liable for extra mileage or travel
pay for prisoners or witnesses In charge
of constables; whether or not the coun-
ty would be liable for actual and nee
essary disbursements, is not decided.

From the Arnprior, Canada, Chro-
nicle)

From the Arnprior, Canada, Chro-
nicle.)
Perhaps there is no better known
man in Arnprior and vicinity than Mr..
Martin Brennan, who has resided in
the town for over quarter OF a centu-
ry. A reporter of the Chronicle called
at his residence not long ago and was
made at home at once. During a gen
eral conversation Mr. Brennan gave
the particulars of remarkable cure
in his family. He said: My daugh-
ter, Eleanor who is now IA years of age,
was taken very i'll in the summer of
1892 with back trouble, rheumatism
and heart disease. She also became
nervous and could not sleep. We sent
for doctor and he gave her medicine
which seemed to help her for time,
but she continued TO lose in flesh until
she was terribly reduced. When first
taken i'll she weighed one hundred
pounds, but she became reduced to six
ty pounds, losing forty pounds in the
course of a few months. For about two
years she continued in this condition
her health in most delicate state, and
we had very little hopes Of her ever
getting better. Our hopes, what little
we had, were entirely shattered when
she was taken with a second attack
far more serious than the first. This
second attack took place about two
years after the first. We now fully
noGe up our minds that she could not
live, but where there is lie there is
hope, and, seeing constantly in the
newspapers the wonderful cures affect
ed by the use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, we decided to give them trial.
Before she had finished the first box,
we noticed that her appetite was slight
ly improving, and by the time she had
used the second box, decided i'm
provement had taken place. By the
time she had used four boxes more she
had regained her former weight of one
hundred pounds and was as well as
ever she had ever been in her life. Her
back trouble heart affection, rheuma-
tism and sleeplessness had all disap-
peared. She now enjoys the best of
health, but still continues to take an
occasional pill when she feels a little
out Of sorts, and so it passes away
Mr. Brennan also stated that he had
used the pills himself and believed that
there was no other medicine like them
for building up weakened system or
driving away a wearied feeling; in fact
he thought that as blood tonic they
were away ahead of all other medicines.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills act directly
upon the blood and nerves, building
them anew and thus driving disease
from the blood and system. There is
no trouble due to either of these causes
which Pink Pills will not cure. and in
hundreds of cases they have restored
patients to health after all other rene
dies had failed. Ask for Dr. Williams
Pink Pills and take nothing else.

ADMIRAL STUCK TO HIS GUNS.

admiral Gainsborough was on leave
and was visiting his old village home.
He was at church, and the lesson was
from that portion of Scripture that tells
OF the shipwreck of st. John.
And the sailors cast three anchors
astern, said the clergyman.
Blasted fools" said Gainesborough,
half asleep.
The congregation was horror-stricken
and before entire equilibrium had been
made the admiral, thinking to say
something by way of apology, arose in
his pew and remarked:
Ladies and gentlemen, l was some
what somnolent when / heard the re-
mark that caused my ejaculation, but
desire to say in self-defence that any
blame-fool commander of ship should
be keelhauled for throwing three an
chors astern, for in doing that he would
pull the end out of his vessel"
