Mayor Haviland brought before the Council the fact that the steamer Stanley was now being berthed at the Railway wharf, and if this was continued during the time that the ice was forming the winter highway between Charluttetown and Southport would be rendered unsafe.

form. The motion carried. Councillors Beer, Hogan and McKay were appointed members of said committee.

A letter from J. H. Reddin, barrister- at-law, threatening an action, against the city if a claim of Connolly & Co. for $1000 damages for delay caused by the city last summer in the removal of a house owned by them was not settled within one week, was laid on the table. The letter is dated Nov. 21.

Another lawyer's letter from Peters & Peters in reference to the Needham case, was also ordered to lie on the table.

Councillor Hughes brought up the mat- ter of expenses in connection with poll tax and personal property executions, and thought the extra 71 cents which now had to be paid was too much. Asa rule, the people for whom these executions were is- sued were very poor and found it hard enough to raise the amount of the tax without having to paythe 7lc extra. He moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Councillor Hooper :

Resolved, that in future the fees on execu- tions for pol: tax and personal property do not exceed 25 cents tor each execution and that said documents be served by the police officers free of charge.

The resolution was not pressed upon its being represented that the fees in such cases were fixed by statute and the Council had no power to change them. Councillor Hughes said he would call at the City Court and see what could be done.

Councillor Beer, Chairman of the Market Committee, reported that the daily market had so far proved a failure. Tha lights had nut yet been put in, and he would like to hear from the other members of the Board before putting them in.

Councillor Hogan moved that the mar- ket days be Tuesdays and Fridays, as formerly.

A discussion followed, as a result of which it was decided to leave things as they are uniil the end of the year, and Councillor Hogan was given leave to with- draw his motion.

Councillor Beer asked that Government Pond be flooded, and the City Surveyor promised to see that the water was let in to-day.

After some discussion in reference to the matter of bread and meat inspection and market tolls, the meeting adjourned sine die. ie ee

The Doctors and the Drouggists.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER

Stz,—As there seems to be considerable misunderstanding upon the part of some people as to the present position of Char- lottetown druggists in their relations to the medical profession and the public, it is only right and fair to state that the public wil not find ary change inthe treatment they receive from the druggists of this city.

Ata meeting held by the druggists to consider the circular sent to each of them by the doctors, a resolution was adopted which declared that the request to desist from ‘‘selecting medicines” could not be entertained tor several reasons. As a result of this meeting the medical men invited the druggists to a friendly conference, at which the physicians explained that they had not intended to ask the druggists to desist from ‘selecting medicines” as understood by the public, the press and the druggists themselves. That in ali ordinary simple casee they recognized that the druggists had a right toselect medicines, butthey submitted that they should not diagnose uncertain illnesses, and, as a result of that diagnosis, compound medicines such as are ordered in doctors’ prescriptions In short, it is simply a matter of honour be- tween phy-ician and [druggist—the druggist is not to usurp the physician’s place—the physician is not to interfere with the druggist’s rights.

The public can have their prescriptions and Private receipts compounded as hitherto at any of the drugstores in the city, nor will the druggists invariably send théie customers needing medicines to the doctor for a prescrip- tion. This they will undoubtedly do when there is need of a physician’s or a surgeon's skill; but it is all nonsense to say that the druggists cannot now recommend or select pateot medicines and ordinary remedies, for there is no such new contract or obligation whatever between the druggists and physic- ians, as some people have undoubtedly been led to believe.

Sin,—The services held Sunday in the Methodist Brick Church were most inter- esting and in aid of the Mount Allison In- stitution.

ButIl was not prepared to hear the astounding assertion of Profes- sor Andrews. ‘*‘ What,” ssid he, ‘‘dis-

AND YOU HAVE NOT GOT A MELISSA.

“Ah,” says Miss Mossrose sweetly to your rival, ‘* we have both got our Melis- sas, and so can defy both wind and rain.”

And here is a profound moral—the man who misses opportunity is forever lost.

We must have the heart and hand to dare at the right moment,
