Hats on" Request.

A local theatre was the scene the
other evening OF a novel incident
when the request was made in behalf
of the management by an actor, that
the women in the audience remove
their hats. Each woman turned to
her escort with mingled look of sur
prise and amusement, and in some cases
pretty eyes gave flash OF rebellion.
But the pleasant spirit in which the
suggestion was made conquered any
displeasure, and there was II general
compliance with the request. 1t was
the first exhibition of the manage
ment's determination to make this re-
quest at every performance their wish
being to aid the agitation for what he
believes is needed reform. The head
usher nightly steps to the front of the
orchestra chairs, and, facing the audi
ence, will politely announce: "The
management requests all ladies to re-
move their hats.

Canadian Cattle.

The Boston chamber of commerce,
after persistent endeavors in the in
terest of the trade of Boston, has at
last cleared the way for the United
States government to remove interdic-
ton which has retarded the Shipment
of Canadian cattle from this port. 1t
was generally understood that the
privilege of shipping from Boston had
been granted months ago, in fact such
was really the case, but'the government
again called halton the business after
the first and second shipment of cattle
had taken place during the first weeks
of last month. Now, however, or at
least in few days, when the recent
demands of the U. S. government
have been complied with, the restric-
tions will be entirely removed from n
business which promises to be of
much importance to the commerce of
Boston.

Cadets at Home Again.

Training ship Enterprise arrived in
Boston harbor recently, The boys
were given leave of absence from
the ship for few days. The cadets
spoke in the highest terms of captain
Eaton aud said that the ship was a
home to all who tried to do right
and were willing to work.
Concerning the boys who left the
ship in foreign ports after complain
ing of the food and the disclp,ing,
Capt. Eaton would not talk at length,
but he claimed that the food supplies
were bought from reliable dealers,
and expresseda belief that the quality
was better than that formerly served
to mldshipmen on practice cruise.
Capt. Eaton said he was proud Of the
behaviour of the boys AS Il whole,
though he admitted that two or three
were refractory and had to be disci-
pIined. He praised them for their
courage and good seamanship during
the severe storm through which the
vessel passed on Sept. % and %.
"l'he boys behaved like old sailors, -
said the captain, ''and deserve great
deal of credit for it, They did their
work promptly and fearlessly at
time when older nerves might well be
shaken. "

The blue grass craze is laughed at
now, but it was taken seriously in its
day, quite as seriously as the barefoot
cure is taken by the New York people
whose unprotected pedals scatter the
matin dew in Central Park, recalls the
Washington Star. The hygienic fad
is unobjectionable, excepting when it
is permitted to become a boresome
topic of conversation. In fact, it has
its possibilities of actual benefit. This
benefit, however, results in round
about manner in most cases. It is un.
likely that the barefoot pedestrians
will imbibe medicine from the dew !;
but it is altogether probable that get
ting up early enough to find the dew
will insure regularity of habits and
supply of fresh air calculated to pro-
duce desirable results.

As the Neterans' Case Now Stands.

As the Veterans Case Now Stands,
The veterans preference act of 1895
not only exempted veterans from the
provisions of the civil. service laws in
relation to public employments, it
required the appointing power to
select veterans for vacancies in the
public service when application was
made with a certificate of fitness
signed by three reputable citizens (as
We recall iD. This law was pro-
nounced 10y the supreme court of the
state to be unconstitutional. Accord
lngly the last legislature amended the
law. 1t still gave to the veteran
certain advantages or prefer
ences under the operation of
the civil-service rules: and the
Legislature then provided that the APP
pointing power might appoint veter-
ans to vacancies in the public service
on application without examination,
and when the public interests seemed
to require it. Veterans, in other
words, may be appointed to vacancies
without duly ascertained fitness if it
seems best to the appointing power
Under the act of 1895 the appointing
power must appoint them on applica-
ton supported by "A certificate of fit
ness drawn up practically by the veter-
an himself.
And this act 80 amended, the su-
preme court now pronounees constitu-
tional by bare majority-iustices
Field, Holmes, Knowlton and Morton
being in the affirmative, and justices
Allen, Barker and Lathrop in
the negative. The opinion is
called out by request of the ex-
ecutive council on an order
adopted last June. The point at issue
between the two sections of the
court seems to rest on the question of
qualification for the place. All the
justices agree in the judgment against
the law of 1895 that fitness for the
place must govern appointments to the
service under the constitution, and
services to the state in war or peace
cannot be allowed to override this
test.

The value of the wheat crop to South
Australia and Victoria, both in itself
and as means of promoting the set
tlement of the country, has been very
great. But the aggregate increase of
production in the last ten years has
been surprisingly small. The quantity
produced in the three years which
ended March 81, 1894, was only eleven
per cent. greater than that produced
in the three years that ended March
81 1899, while comparison of popu.
lation in those periods shows an in
crease of thirty per cent.

More Victims of The Missing Ep-

EXETER, N. H., Oct. 6Yesterday re-
vealed three more victims of William P.
Burke, Epping missing brickmaker. They
are Boston parties, whose names are by
counsel withheld from publicity, but they
have been victimized to the amount of So, 800
for brick which they paid for but never re-
ceived, and apparently they have not the
slightest redress.
1t seems to have been Burke's frequent
practice to resell brick already specifically
sold, and to burn new kilns upon the places
thus vacated. Matters are thus complicated.
for many kilns which answer the specific
description of those sold are really differ

"Wds Unable to Fdlk around"
So bad did he become, and so great
were the pains that shot through
his limbs, that at times Mr.. Ell
wood had to be held down on his
couch. His stomach and bowels
were seriously affected and he was
indeed in a deplorable condition.
About year ago he lost the use
of his left foot and ankle and was
unable to walk around his home
without great difficulty. At one
time Mr.. Elwood was possessed of
a good home, but 50 long was he
i'll that he spent all his property
in the hope of regaining his
health. Last fall Mr.. Elwood
commenced taking Pink Pills and
shortly after he began to feel an
improvement in his condition. He
continued the use Of the pills until
he had taken thirteen boxes when
he regained the use of his foot
and ankle and thought he was
about cured and discontinued
their use. So long had he been a
sufferer, however, that it was i'm
possible for him to become conva-
lescent in so short time. An
attack of the grippe again
brought on the disease, but not
by any means so terrible as
formerly. Mr.. Elwood again
commenced taking the pills and
is fast regaining his former health
and feels certain that the Pink
Pills will exterminate all traces of
disease from his system. He
feels so gratified at what the pills
have done for him that he gladly
gave the information to the Re-
former for publication in the
hope that his experience may be
a benefit to some other sufferer.

The many virtues of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People have so often been pub
lished in the columns of this
paper, that they are widely known
to the residents of Norfolk Couu-
ty, and it is as widely CONCEDED
that they have brought Joy into
more than one household, and
their merits are spoken of only in
words of praise. In this instance
the facts are brought directly
home to the residents of Simcoe,
a gentleman who is glad to testify
to the benefits he has received
from the use of these pills,
being resident of this
town. Mr.. VIM. Elwood, ST., a
resident of Simcoe for about two
years, and for years a resident OF
Fort Erie, a carpenter by trade,
is loud in his praise of the bene-
fits he derived from the use of
Pink Pills. In an interview with
Mr.. Elwood, that gentleman told
the Reformer that about eight years
ago he was attacked with ulcerat-
ed catarrh of the head and throat,
and was obliged to quit work, and
since that time has not been able
to resume his calling. The
disease, shortly after he was taken
ill. developed into neuralgia OF
the lower limbs, from which he
suffered terrible agony. During
his long illness the services of
specialists in both Toronto and
Buffalo, as we'll as those of local
physicians both in his former
home and Simcoe were called into
requisition, but all to no purpose.
