RELIEVING CONGESTION.
Salvation Army's Work for London
 Crowded Population.

Crowded Population.
 Cleveland, O.. April 11.-Before leav- ing for the east today Commander Booth-Tucker who in company with H. R. Haggard, the author. is making an inspection trip of the social work done by the Salvation Army in several parts of the United States, outlined the plan of the Salvation Army to relieve con- gestion In population in London by sending the people to Canada and other English colonies. Commander Booth- Tucker said: Last year the Salvation Army carried one thousand persons from England to Canada, which is starving for population. We carried them in our own ships. It will not be long before we will be carrying Eng lishmen not by the thousands but by tens of thousands. not only to Canada, but to New Zealand, Australia, India and South Africa
 We did not dump our immigrants in Ellis Island. but dropped six here and eight there. and a dozen in another place, wherever they were needed Every man who left England for Cana da know before he started where he was going, what he was going to do when he got there and what wages he would receive.
 The United States should revise It's immigration laws. Through It's con- suls and other representatives, immi- grants should be investigated before they start and not after they have landed at New York. Then you could get the cream of Europe, the yeomanry, the healthy, sturdy stock and not the scum, the ne'er do wells. The Salva- tlon Army would like to cooperate with the United States Government in a work of this kind. Then colonization could be made the handmaid of immi- grafton"
 Tn England the people are crowding into London and the other large cities. | The farm hand is now cockney. The effect of this crovding was apparent at the time of the Boer war The Eng lishman has lost his health, his buoy ancy and his grit. He is not the man he was. England has to draw on her colonies for good fighting material. The London police force, the finest body of men physically in the world, is recruit cd from the farms Healthy men are at a premium. Bye and bye there will be no fighting men left if something Is not done. The only way to rejuven- ate the race Is to divert immigration away from the cities and towards the colonies; to take the sick men of Lon don to the colonies and make farmers | of them"

Lovers of humanity everywhere will join in the hope that the alleged dis- oovery by a Paris doctor of a remedy for cancer will not prove disappoint- ing. They will be all the more hope full because he makes no extravagant claims. He thinks that if his treat ment is strictly and intelligently fol- lowed fully 50 per cent. of cancer suf- ferers will be benefited and 25 per cent. cured. This is not the extravagant claim of a medical charlatan. and for that reason it is the more encourag- ing. If even one-fourth of those af- Iicted with real cancer can be cured, it will be a long step forwaKd in the treatment of one of the most loath- some and fatal of all human ailments.

Ma.cul,ne Cender and style.

You have only to look into the show windows of shoe stores." said citi- zen yesterday, "to see that there is no such thing as dictation of style in ap- parel of any sort. On display are to be found not exclusively the sharp toe for footwear, but the broad, common sense toe as well. The former is the strict dictation, of course, but in the mas culine sex there is such thing as an obstinate creature. In truth, there are numbers of them and they are deter mined to buy just what they want. re- gardless of the exactions of the mod iste.

The pe- riodicals are searched with extraor- dinary anxiety for ideas of dress. For of such is humankind.

The purpose of this club would not be to disturb labor conditions, or to in any manner agttate this ques- tion.

| CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIABLE
 The sociable, given by the Christian Endeavorers of the Congregational | church in the Town hall on Monday evening of last week, was very pleas ant affair. The appearance of the hall, as well as the amount of materi- als prepared for the games, showed painstaking care and much labor
 Rugs were scattered over the floor. Tables with neat spreads held lamps with pretty shades and the effect was homelike. The piano on the stage was draped with a large flag, and very pretty plant also adorned it. Aside from various interesting games, fortune telling and photograph gal lery created great deal of merriment. Willis Nettleton was the accomplished photographer who could produce with lightning-like rapidity fine likenesses, we'll developed and neatly mounted. Miss Louise Brown impersonated gypsy fortune teller and was extremely bright and clever with her verses. Mrs Samuel Atwood and Mrs Ruah Atwood rendered pleasing piano duet and Mrs Atwood favored the audience with two pretty piano solos Refreshments of cake and coffee were served. Homemade candy was on sale and readily found purchasers The committee who deserved credit for the success of the sociable, consisted of Mrs Samuel Hollister, Mrs Russell Clark and Miss Burr.
