1t would probably serve no useful pur-
poss to revert at any length to the fire
boat controversy, at this time. The
ma tier seems to be settled for the present
at least. Our position has been and is
simply this: That when an order to the
captain of the fire boat involves tie tax
ing of sea risks it is proper for him to use
some discretion in regard to it, even to
the point of disobedience if the probable
ity is very strong that an attempt to exc
cute it would result in the destruction Of
the boat or the removal of her SO far from
the fire that she could be of no service in
the extinguishment of it; that that dis
cretion was properly exercised by Capt.
Goud in the night of the fire of Deem Der
5, in the light of the evidence presented
= to the committee. The other view is
that taken jy the Argus, that the captain
of the fire boat has no discretion at all,
but must implicitly obey all orders given
him, no matter what the probable conse-
quences Which is the sounder view we
leave to the intelligent judgment of the
public. As regards the Argnss claim
Chat the inquiry WAC not fair one, in
chat the defence was allowed to present
expert testimony to prove that obedience
to the chief engineers order would have
resulted in the destruction of the boat,
while the prosecution was refused oppor-
tunity to contradict it, we have only to
say that If the investigation was conduct
ed in that way it was not properly con-
d11cted and ito concluSinns are NOT entitled
to much weight. But we are not prepared
to believe that the committee will admit
any such improper procedure.

The ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
what Has Been Accomplished by the
Work-Room.

We have received from Mrs. Lilly, SEQ
rotary of the Associated Charities, this
communication, enclosing the report of
the work accomplished in the workroom
the past year, prepared by Mrs. James P.
Baxter:
To the Editor Of the Press:
The subloined report from Mrs. Baxter
did not reach ME until after the annual
meeting of the Associated Charities. 1t
presents very clearly it's own claims for
publication, and l trust will be given In
full.
1t would be not simply iingenerous, but
most unjust, to send it unaccoinpan1ed by
an expression of the deep regret felt at the
discontinuauce of the workroom. and an
attempt, il very feeble one. to express
some appreciation OF its labors and It's
benefits
1t is of little consequence to the mana
gers and their faithful assistants for. as
Mrs. Baxter says. their reward has fol
lowed their work. But it is we'll for us
ali TO realize what has been done in this
unosten tatlous way.
seventeen years is long period
of time; five months is
two long forenoons weekly is signii-
can't portion of each month. This is the
time t1at the managers of the work room
with only such interims as sickness and
absence make ineyitable-have given tt
their unfortunate sisters. The conditions
under which the work was done were
often rather dreary; the seasun our most
incleinent one. No prestige has attended
is, no pleasant society functions have &C.
companied it,, 1t has been work, hard
work, faithfully followed for this consid
eraple portion OF SO many of the best
years OF life ! think the record is q
somewhat unusual one. 1t is pleasure
to me to make it and TO record also my
actual knowledge of the beneticent re-
suits that have attended these efforts.
Not only have we to count the small
weekly earnings, valuable as they were.
but this great advantage that the unfor-
tunate were brought constantly into con
tact with those who could aid them in
many other ways. / can follow these ben
eiits from trifiing acts of kindness, up to
efforts that resulted in the saving of life,
II humanwisdom may judge in such mat
tiers.
It is not "far look to see that such
work is of value, not only to those EN-
ployed, but to the community. Som q
thipg 10 take it's place should be organ.
ized at once. Accompanying this change
lStrust there will be a wide recognition
of tie services of those who retire and
new resolution to aid those who will take
up the work.

OUR FRIENDS, THE IMPERIALIsTs

49,
Probably no set of individuals were
ever guilty of SO much inconsistency in
SO short a time, or turned SO many somer
saults, as our imperialistie friends who
are now cody arrogating to themselves
sll the patriotism of the country and de-
nouncing al the people who oppose their
scheme as "little Americans" or friends
of Spain.'' Most of them only very few
years ago were the loudest shouters for
the maintenance and extension of the
Monroe doctrine, and the most inveterate
haters of England and anything English.
1t was they who most loudly applaud ed
President Clevelend's Venezuela message,
and were the most anxious that the str ip
of territory in dispute should be handed
over to Venezuela instead Of England.
The quickest and most certain way TO
become patriot in their estimation was
to twist the lions tall and denounce

From the day that a young man starts
out to seek his first position to the end of
his business life, his health has world to
do with his success. When young man
applies to a business man for position, his
personal appearance has deal to do with
the outcome. Personal appearance" does
not mean dress alone. 1t does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. A young man
may be clean, SO far as soap and water will
make him, but be dis6gured by unsightly
pimples, eruptions and alterations on the
skin. These are due to impurities in the
blood. The blood becomes impure because
it is improperly nourished. Instead OF
receiving the life-giving elements OF the
food, it receives the foul emanat1ons OF
indigestion, bi1ousness and costivensss:
The reason that DR.. Pierce's Goloen

The postponement of Senator Quay's
trial is having bad effect, it is said,
upon his senatorial prospects. Some of
the members of the legislature who be-
lieved he was innocent are troubled at the
extraordinary effort to get his case put
over. They don t think it COMFORTS with
50 much confidence ir innocence and
ability to prove it as they professed
awhile age; land they are fearful lest by
voting for him they may be helping to
send back to the Senate hank wrecker.
1t can hardly be denied that their anxiety
is reasonable. A man conscious of inno-

Struck by Lightning.

At about 3 o'clock Saturday
afternoon n thunder cloud came
up and the lightning was very
vivid. A house in the west end
was struck, as was also Cyanide
Frank Shindler, the store keeper
there had very narrow escape.
He went out to lower the flag and
had the ropes in his hand when a
flash occurred which gave him
quite shock. Nevertheless he
took the flag down, and had hard
ly folded it up when another bolt
came, striking the flag staff, splint-
ering it, and making a black mark
down the pole like the rifing in a
gun, and picking Mr.. Shindler up
and setting him down half dozen
steps below where he was stand
ing, not injuring, but soaring him
pretty badly. Supt. Oates was
also knocked down in the roaster
room and all the fuse boxes in the
mill were blown out. Dust that
had been accumulating for months
was knocked from the rafters in
all parts of the mill, but no dam
age was done besides that above
stated.
