4 Good Suggestion.
“A Would-be
hew
Ovr correspondent,
Improver,” has broached a idea—a \ fountain on Queen Square ot the first Improvements
the rks. The
Jubilee Committee have $200 in hand,
capit il one ought to be on: consequ nt Upon waterw
(which they do not know what to do with)
and it is bard to see how the money could be better employed than in the erection of something that would be a permanent and beautiful addition to the attractions and delights of the town. It might be called the Jubilee Fountain, and so—as its waters gurgle joyously and glisten in the sun
of the Jubilee Year.
What say the gentlemen of the Committee /
refresh our memory Now is the time to have the pipes laid fora
fountain.
Total Abstinence.
Tux report of the Committee of the Gen- eral Conference~—a!lmost unanimously .ad- attitude of the of unconquerable hos-
opted—declares that the Methodists is one tility to the liquor traflic in all its forms and says:
** We renew our time-honored testimony in
favor of total abstinence from all alcoholic liquors The best modern science has irre- fragably demonstrated that there is no legiti- mate place for alcchol, not even in the form- of the mi der liquors and in moderate quant}, ties, in a healthy organism. ¢ - Total
abstinence is @»w fully vindicated as sume- thing more thaa a ‘ dietetic whim,’ or a fana- tical craze; and we can accept nothing less than this. as security for personal safety, and as the basal principles of the Ten:perance reform.’
Concerning the liquor traffic it declares :
“* We reiterate the language of the episco- pal address to this body: * The liquor traffic is so pernicious in all its bearings, so inimical te the interests of houest trade, so repugnant to the mora! sense, so injurious to the peace and order of society, so hurtful to the home, to the church, and to the body politic, and so utterly antagonistic to all that is precious in life, that the only proper attitude toward it for Christians is that of relentless hostil-
ity. It can never be legalized without sin. And we farthermore emphatically de clare thit men engaged in the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic beverages ought not to receive the suifvages of Christian people fo any political office or any position of influence
upon educations! boards.” The report further approves scientific Temperance instruction in the schoo's, co dems the raising of grapes, hops and grain for purposes of manufacture into liquors, urges practical political action against the (it says nothing about party), advises rigorous enforcement of liquor laws, rejoices in the jalicial de -isions of the Supreme Court, calls ‘‘ for the aid of State and National Constitutional amendmenta tor the suppression of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages,” resolves to memoralise Congréss f +r the abolition of the liquor traffic in the Discrict of Columbia, and “to adopt such leyislation as wiil secu e to States with prohibitory liquor laws the undistarbéd bene- fits of the rescrictive and prohibitory. ‘pro- visions enacted for their self defence agitvst a more no and destructive evil,” and emp vasises *‘ the awful crime of the African liquor trade.”

FRESH BAIT A NECESSITY FOR AMERICAN FISHERMEN, A Gloucester dispatch reports:-—- Fo
yeors the Gloucester fishermen have enticed the deep sea cod from his native element with dainty morsels of fresh bait of the kind best calculated to tickle the palate ot the denizens of the banks. This year, however, they have attemptea to enlarge
the piscatory dietary scale by the intro- duction of «a new article of bait —salted clans. The codtish 1s showing himself how- ever, to be a true conservative and a
stickler for ancient customs, and his pre- scriptive right tu be caught only by fresh bait. Elucated to bite at newly caught bait, the Newfoundland cod turns up his nose at the hovk covered bya salt clam and bites eagerly atthe hook of the loyal Canadian fisherman who, bountifully sup- plied with fresh bait, fishes according to long established rule and custom.
The schooner Hattie B. West, a hand- line, dory tisherman, arrived home yester- day from nine a week’strip, bringing but 20,099 poands of cod, The crewstate that it was like a penance to lie at anchor and fish with salt clams in company with provincial vessels and licensed American fishermen, who had fresh bait, the latter get- ing all the fish they could take care of, while the salt bait men had not exercise enough to keepthem warm. The crew of the West report the Nova Scotia vessels that are travelling with fresh biit, and the American vessels that have licenses, as all doing well, while the American vessels using salt clams will not average 60 tubs to a vessel.
Capta® Vail, who has just returned from a salt clarn voyage in the schvoner Marion, says that he has been absent eight weeks and had got but 30,000 pounds of cod- fish, and rather than make such a»- Other voyage he would prefer to go to prison. The owners of the Marion are also dissatistied and have sent the vessel trawl- ing under command of Captain Thomas Govdwin, who is instructed to procure a Canadiaa license, as he declined to under- take the voyage without one.
Captain Whitman, of the fishing schooner Gracie Young, here from the Banks, re- ports the failure of the greater portion of the fleet at Banquard to tind fish and that he prisel 5) sul vessels seeking fares. Many of the fishermen left for the Grand
Banks. The schooner Gatherer was re- ported to have a goud fare. ,

Bisuor Courtney held a Confirmation service at Port Hill on the evening of the 6th inst. Thirty-two candidates presented themselves for Confirmation, after wlfich His Lordship gave an interesting and elo- quent address. St. James’ Church, Port Hill—one of the prettiest churches in the Province— was filled to its utmost capacity, many persons being obliged to stand, Rev. S. Weston-Jones and Rev. Henry Harper took part in the services. The pretty and tasteful decorations of evergreens about the pulpit, reading desk and chancel, added much to the appearance of the church. The choir rendered some very good music on the occasion.
On Tuesday evening, the 5th, Rev. S. Weston Jones ®onducted service at Port Hill church, and delivered an able and in- structive address upon the service of Con- firmation,
On Thursday, the 7th, a Confirmation service was held at Lot 11, and Holy Com- munion administered. A large congrega- tion was present. The Bishop and ow returned to Hon, J. W. Richards, Bide- ford to luncheon, and left by afternoon train for Kensington,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A Good Suggestion.
Sirx,—It seems that after paying all ex- penses_ incurred by the beautifying of Queen Square, there wili be about $200 available f6t the public benefit. Do you not think, sir, that, instead of a regatta or something of a similar transient character, it would be weil to procure a fountain— such as is used both in smallez as well as in larger towns—for the Square?
Now that the waterworks are coming in, the question of water supply could easily be arranged, and I aw sure that the beauties and covlness of the sparkling waters would be appreciated all through the warm weather, both by the advocates of the Seott Act and those otherwise inclined.
Yours, . A Wovtpn-BE IMPROVER.

Nuisances.
a
Sir,-—The letter of R. R. Fitzgeraid, §. M., iu your issue of yesterday was timely. | trust the advice therein given will be acted upon. But I do not think it will be so Jong as prominent citizens are allowed to throw the coutents of their closets in the duck at Ferry Wharf, and afterwards leave the cask out of which the dirt had been emptied basking inthe sun. There are a few nuisances besides the pigs which it is heped some of our ‘‘ leading” citizens will lovk after at once.

The Lyceum.
Sia,—I was at the Lyceum last evening, and heard the stage manager announce that hereafter all holders of yelow season tickets would be refused admittance. This is more than Dr, Ellis or aay other doorkeeper dare do, for these tickets were sold aud purchased on the express under- standing that the helders would be admitted during the entire season. More than this al] holders of tickets have the right to a seat in preference to all who buy tickets at the door, and it is Dr. Ellis’ duty to proyide ample accommodation for the holders of his season tickets. Last night a large number of ticket holders were re- fused admission, owing to all the seats being occupied to a great extent by parties who bought a night ticket.
Yours, Yettow Trcket-HoLper.

FRIDAY, CHALLENGE.
NOTICE that the owner of HERNANDO in a challenge to Mr. Fitzsimmons, has made the following sweeping statement :— ‘* We believe Hernando to be the superior of any of his Maritime competitors, and when they offer battle on a fair field the son of the great Almont will be ready to try conclusions with them.” Now last fall, when all Mari- time horses were invited to take part in the race at Upton, not one put in an appearance with the exception of BLACK PILOT, who was at Upton and Summerside tracks ready to meet his opponents. Now to give the owner of Hernaudo one more chance to prove his statement, I will match BLACK PILOT AGAINST HERNANDO to trot a race ac- cording to the National Association Rules, mile heats, best three in five to harness, over Upton Park between the 3rd and 8th of Sep- tember next, for the sum of $200 a side, or for a larger sum if Mr. McLeod desires it ; and to show that I mean business, I have posted with James Currie, Esq., Charlotte- town, a forfeit of $100. This offer remains open for ten days from the publication there- of. The remainder «f the money to be posted by both parties ten days befor the race, and the party failing to make this last payment to forfeit to the other the $100 already posted. Now, Mr. McLeod, we will ask you quietly to put up or shut up.
