 The primary purpose of the conVen- ton was to consider the amendments to the constitution of the organization that are to be submitted to the ma tiOnal convention to be held at Mon treal. August 19. The amendments were taken up and discussed, and &C., ton taken which will be submitted to the national convention. Similar con ventions are held all over this section by the organization, and thus the sen timent relative to the proposed chang es is ascertained from the members.
 At the convention Thursday, some of the general officers of the organiZ- ation were present, including Director k. Bedard, Montreal; Director F. Bras sard, St Jean, Canada General Sec retary and Treasurer H. Roy, Former General President Joseph Lamarche, Montreal Director Charles Boissin, Millbury, Mass; and General Organ izer o. 4.

Swiss Presidents Limits.

The president of Switzerland is so hedged about by the constitution that, except for official purposes and to fla Cilitate the exchange of courtesies and of amicable understandings with for cisn nations, he has no more standing than the other six members of the council of which he forms a part. says Harper's Weekly. He is elected for one year, has no official residence and his chief business is to sign the documents of the bundesrath, or coun- Cil of seven. His salary is in our money equal to about $3,600 a year, and there is no provision for private expenses, such as travelling or enter
 taining. He is expected to live in the capital of the country during the year he holds office. His associate mem
 bers in the bundesrath get $3, 900 a year
 and they are elected for three years,
 their votes having the same force as
 that of the president.
 As a rule the president of Switz-
 erland is before election a member of this council and is elected to the high CT office without opposition but in 1883 he had a rival and, though he won in the election, he was unable to | support what in his country is looked upon as an affront and committed sui | eide before his inauguration.
 i In this connection, it might be well ! to note, too, that Switzerland is the 1 one country on the globe where it costs nothing to die, as in certain cantons l rich and poor are buried at the ex- | pense of the state

 Unless these sources of contamina- tion are eradicated by the owners of the property whereon the contaminating matter exists, prosecutions will fol- low
 Alderman O'ConRor maintains that they should all have been eliminated, when the people said they would see to it that they were, but, instead, they have permitted them to remain all these months. In his opinion, a grave injustice has been perpetrated upon the public by the property owners in question He is of the opinion that it is up to the county health officers to have the contaminating sources im- mediately eliminated.
