We clip the following from a Durango paper, The Idea, of the 3rd of April : —‘‘ Gol- den Barrett, of Colorado Springs, now occu- pies a responsible position in the First Na- tional Bank of Durango, and is a worthy acquisition to Durango’s circle of young men.” The young man referred to above is the third son of William H. Barrett, Esq , of Kingston (South Wiltshire). He left the Island for Colorado Spriugs four years ago, when com- paratively a young boy, being about 18 years of age. Shortly after his arrival he got into the employ of the enterprising firm of Nichols & Long, with whom he remained till the time of his appointment to the position he now eccupies. Mr. Barrett is to be congratulated on his snccess in a strange land,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Standard Time.

Srr,—l observe that a correspondent in yesterday's Examiner thinks that the order establishing Standard Time on our Rail- way ought to be rescinded. With all due deference to his opinion, would it not be better to rescind our isolated ‘‘local’’ time, and thus come into unison with the rest of America. This has been done in cities very much larger than Charlottetown without any disastrous results. The matter is very simple. Notice is given that on a certain day—say lst May—at twelve o'clock, the city clocks will be set back 47 minutes. When the day and hour arrives this is done and the world wags on in the same old way. As an illustration of the old style, I start, say for Halifax, stopping over at Pictou and Truro. At each of these places I con- sult a time table to see when trains leave, but as my watch (which is correct by Char- lottetown time) is slow by theirs, 1 am likely to be left behind. Arriving at Hali- fax I make a business appointment and, on keeping it, find that lam some twenty minutes late and my man has gone. Cross- ing over to St. John I note the same differ- ence of time on the way, and it is a perpetual puzzle to remember how many minutes [ have to add on or subtract from the face time of my watch. Arrived at St. John I find my watch some half-hour too fast. There is now no danger of being left behind, but it is unpleasant to have to wait for “the time to arrive.”

By adopting ‘‘Standard Time” all these inconveniences are done away with. The Continent of America is divided into six belts, each with exactly one hour’s differ- ence in time. Leaving Charlottetown, no change is experienced until the next or Eastern belt be reached. Twelve o'clock means twelve o’clock all over until there. After that you deduct one hour until the next belt is reached and so on until you get to San Francisco, which is the extreme limit, being six hours slower than our first or Intercolonial time. Coming from San Francisco the rule is the same but works vice versa.

Asl before said, no inconvenience was experienced in any city that made the change, and none would be felt here. A person going home to dinner at his usual time, say one o'clock on the Ist May (after the changing of the clocks) would notice that his watch was 47 minutes too fast by the city clock. He would set his watch right and pursue his way, and find bis din- ner ready for him although it was only a quarter past twelve (new time). Setting the house clock by his watch he would tell his wife that hereafter he wanted his din- ner at 1215, and the thing is done. In the same way with going to work, knock-

Can Nothing be Done?

Sir,—Can nothing be done to remedy the present condition of the street crossings in this city? Yesterday afternoon a num- ber of young ladies and gentlemen, riding horseback, report the streets in 4 horrible condition and the crossings in many places extremely dangerous. If the Street Com- missioner is not allowed to expend a few dollars in filling up these holes and ruts, especially at the principal crossings, it will devolve upon citizens to make up sub- scription with which to pay a few men for levelling and filling in the most dangerous and unsightly chasms. We hope a word to the proper civic authorities relation to this justly{complained of grievance on the part of ratepayers will be suflicient to cause ro-

DOMINION PARLLAMEN

The House took up orders of the day and passed several Bills through Committee, among them the Act amending the Act In- corporating the Pictou Coal and Iron Com- pany. In answer to questions Foster said that it was not the intention of the Govern- ment to propose any amendment to Cana- dian shipping laws by providing for the carrying of life saving apparatus, and in- extinguisha!.!e lights by Canadian vessels.

Foster also said that the Government had taken steps to ascertain the correctness of the statement, telegraphed the press, reporting depredations by American fisher- men in Clarke’s Harbor, County Shel- bourne, N. 8.; but until the facts were ascertained the Government could not say what action would be taken.

The Government agreed to provide a statement in detail of all additions, repairs and alterations to Rideau Hall, giving names of contractors and amount paid to each and by whom ordered.

On motion for adjournment, Blake re- ferred to the death of Thompson, of Haldi- man.

Sir Hector Langevin also spoke of having sat in Parliament with him for twenty- three years.

The Fishery Question. Lonvon, April 19.

Geo. Osborne Morgan, Under Colonial Secretary, in the House of Commons this afternoon, in referring to the Canadian fisheries, said that he ‘‘was not aware that the Dominion Government had complained of aggression by the United States fisher- men. If any dispute should arise between Canada and the United Stotes—ever the fisheries—the English Government would make every effort to end it with as little friction as possible.”

Defeat of the Scott Act, Sx. Jonny, April 20.
