$#A ® worning» DAVID BEAN, Proprietor ver snnum in advance a Engiish and German, in and will be known on Nominations for Quebec were held on Friday and the Parent Government as the outcome is virtually returned to power, thirtyâ€"one Liberals in a house of seventyâ€"two being returned by acâ€" elammation. There is practically no Conservative party in Quebec. Canaâ€" dians seem to be pretty well satisfied with Liberalism just now. The news of the surrender of 400 Britisa to General Dewet at Dewetsâ€" dorp is not pleasant reading. . Not that a Boer victory of any magniâ€" tude is possible but the capturing of 400 soldiers by an enemy whose greatâ€" est strength is not above 3000 men inâ€" dicates a vitality and persistence on the part of the Boer forces which does not indicate a speedy close of the war. If the conflict caunot be ended unless by sterner tactics in the part of the British there should be no hesitation in adopting such. "Clarke Wallace is here to attend a meeting of his mining company," says the Vancouver, B.C., Newsâ€" Advertiser. Mr Foster is in Toronto, they tell us, to look after his mining interests, not on party business. The Tuppersarealso into mining. | It is more likely that the Conservative: leaders these days are looking after their "underâ€"mining" inâ€" terests than in the orthodox speculaâ€" tion in mines. We are waiting to hear of the springing of W. F. Maclean‘s "mine," and the blowing up of someâ€" body‘s hopes. Mining has great posâ€" sibilities, especially political minâ€" ing. The Prince of Wales who has reâ€" cently celebrated his 59th birthday, has now held his title the longest in English history. Previously the disâ€" tinction be‘onged to George IV., who‘ was Prince of Wales for fiftyâ€"eight years. Within a month of his birth the Prince was created Duke of Cornâ€" wall and Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. while in 1850 he was made Earl of Dublin. When be wishes to travel on the quiet the Prince goes as Lord Renâ€" frew and sometimes as the Earl of Chester. OHRONIOLEâ€"TELEGRAPH That veteran County Councillor Mr. Ferd .Walter of Bamberg is attending the Dec. meeting, and is as bright and keen as ever. Mr. Walter has a re markable municipal record. The yea: now drawing to a close is his 35th conâ€" secutive year as a member of the Waterloo County Council. He is still vigorous and there are no indications that bis constituents will not return him again for the next two years. He has been warden twice and if elected will probably assume the position for the third time in 1901 as it is Welles ley‘s turn to have the wardenship next year. We doubt whether Mr. Walter‘s record can be paralleled any where in Canada. so h cul .. + m edie ies T ® Engiish and German, is | _ ‘The Town Counsil held the regular 'm‘- % and wil pe | December session on Monday 0‘} ‘= known on ‘The Mayor occupied the chair and “"_ mzmwmâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"=â€"â€"â€".â€"â€"|the monibers weré present “m Mr ° fO ADVERTISERS Staebler.

REPORT QXN THE NEW SERVICE We, the undersigned members of the Town Council, beg to report that on Saturday evening, Dec. lst, we made an inspection of the situation of the different lights throughout the corporâ€" ation and also of the condition of the lights and report as follows: We also find that all the gas lights which were turned off on Saturday night, and also the gas on the corner of Alma and Eby ‘?u., Alma and Benâ€" ton Sts., Queen and Mary Sts. and at the G. T. R. crossing on King St., are not required to be lit. We further find that nearly all the globes are kept in a very unclean conâ€" dition while some of them are also broken, while the glass on some of the glass electric lamps are missing. We would recommend that the Mayor be given power to appoint as often as he sees fit a man to inspect, that is, to state the exact time at which the lights are turned on, how they burn, congition in which lamps are kept and at what time they are extinguished, and such roému to be mmade to the Fire and Light Committee.

The County Council met at the Court House, Berlin, at 11 o‘clock Tuesday. i Warden Hallman presided and all members were present at the nponingl session except Messrs. Cherry of P‘resâ€" ton and Fish of Linwood. But little was doue before dinner. A little disâ€" eussion took place on the petition from Conestogo residents with regard to elosing a certain road mentioned beâ€" low. This was laid over to get the Solicitor‘s advice and the Council adâ€" journed at 12 o‘clock, until 3.30, the committees to meet in the interval. ‘ COMMUNICATION8. _ The Education Department wrote ‘ giving notice of apportionment of Legisâ€" lative Public School Graut for 1900. ‘The Clerk of Victoria Co. wrote re courts and juries. ‘The coâ€"operation of the Council was asked to get the jurisdiction of County Courts extended. The holding of two jury courts instead of four during the year and other imâ€" provements were recommended. _ The control of these matters lies with the Legislature. _ Creelman Bros. Typewriter Co. wrote re a new machine for County Clerk‘s office. _ Lieut. Col. Acheson of Galt wrote thanking the Council for grant of $150 to the 29th regiment. The County Clerk of Wentworth wrote enclosing a memorial pointing out the great expense of publishing quarterly, a list of convictions and askâ€" ing for coâ€"operation to have the law in this respect amended. The County Clerk of Grey Co. wrote enclosing a memorial re jurisdiction of Division Courts. It is proposed to extend the jurisdiction from $2 0 to $500 for signed documents; from $100 to $200 for open accounts; and from $60 to $100 for claims for damages. The Berlin Gas Co. wrote offering to continue the gas light in the Courtâ€" yard for $30 per year for an all night service. ‘The Prisoners‘ Aid Association wrote requesting the Council to ask the Pro vincial Secretary to make a grant to Hospitals where inebriates are treated. Jas. McDonald, of Guelph, asked for rebate on auctioneer‘s license. A BIG CLAIM BY BERLIN. The Berlin Town Clerk sent an acâ€" count for $484 97 being frontage tax for the macadam road on Queen St., N. opposite the Court House ($237.47), and for the new plank sidewalk opâ€" posite the Industrial farm on Frederâ€" ick St. ($247.50). H. D. Dahmer and 45 others in the neighborhooad of Conestogo petitioned the Council not to consent to a byâ€"law of the township of Waterloo closing a certain road leading to Conestogo. This road commences just a little ahove the Town of Waterloo. Byâ€"laws were introduced to appoint: nomin~ating officers for County Council elections and to appoint auditors. TUESDAY AFTERNOON. The County Solicitor Mr. Alex Milâ€" lar, informed the Council that they had no jurisdiction in the matter of the closing of the road to Conestogo, until the Township Council formally notifies them of their intention to close it. Chairman Shaw, of the County Property Committee, presented . his report. The total amount of the acâ€" counts for the last six months is $2175.72 as shown in the report. The cost of gas for the Court House and jail is about $35 greater than in preâ€" vious years, a fact the committee could not account for. _ The following are some of the largest items in the report: Berner & Forwell, alterations at jail â€" â€" â€" â€" â€" â€" $675 00 Berner & Forwell, extras at jail 82 18 P.

The Family Herald and Weekly Star should do a greater busitess than ever this season. A deputation of Peterborough gentleâ€" men arrived in Berlin this morning from Galt, where they had stayed over night. They wired the Mayorâ€" on Tuesday of their intended visit but he being out of town did not get the mesâ€" sage and no arrangements were made to meet them. _ At 8 o‘clock the town was very quict aud they went to. Waterloo and looked about. On their return they were shown about byi Mesars 8. J. Williains and Juno. Fenâ€" pell. They visited the shirt factory, the button factory and the Simpson Co‘s wareroom‘s‘ this forenoon and gathered all the information possible relating to Berlin‘s municipal methods. They inquired closely into our waterâ€" works, sewage und lighting syatems, our methods of building streets, sideâ€" walkes, etc. _ Their object was to get at the real cause of Berlin‘s rapid proâ€" gress. _ Peterborough has been at a standstill for some time in the way of acquiring new industries and they set out to ascertain by comparison the reason. â€" They expressed themselves as much pleased with all they could |see and hear about Berlin. The gentlemen in the party were headed by Mr. D. W. Dumble, Police Magistrate . of â€" Peterborough. _ The others were J. J. Lundy, exâ€"Mayor; H. C. Winch and W. H, Moore, both exâ€"Aldermen; E. H.

The Medical Health officer stated in bis letter, "I bave facts abundant in my possession to demonstrate that bacilli may be found in any healthy person in an exposed community." Quite true, then I would like to ask the question: Are the few isolated, inactive germs in a child‘s throat, who has recently recovered from an attack of diphtberia,‘a worse source of danger to the public, than the germs in the throat of any other healthy person,say, for example, the Market Clerk ? What is sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander. â€" If the child is to be detained, why was not the market clerk isclate1? In bacteriological examinarions we must allow for inaccuracies. The test, I do not corsider by any means infal ‘ivle, and in the light of recent exâ€" periences 1 would be interested to know wuat is the percentage of failâ€" ures. Recently, of seven swabs, no! one of which came into coutact with any individual, manifesting d:pbtherâ€" itie symptonmis, examined by the bacâ€" teriological department in Toronto, six were reported on as infective, and one free. These tests cerlainly corrobâ€" orate the statement _ without any further proof that "bacilli may be found in any healthy person." Grant that the tesis were uccurate in every instance, then the common sense question thit appeuls to me is; W hat is the practical utility of such a test as far as the question of isolation is conâ€" cerued" ? & Let the [{ralth Department be conâ€" sistent, let it either periodically exâ€" amine every individua! in the comâ€" munity and isolate all that are found infective and detain them until, by say, three successive bacteriological examinations they have been proven to be free of infective germs, or, let the attending physician use his own judgment, and free a patiect after the 1 do not wish anyone to infer from aby of the foregoing remarks that 1 condemn bacteriological examinations, tor I believe they sersve a‘most excellent purpose in u:lqug.st.i(mahly establishing the pature of an inflamimation, and if proven to be infective. putting us on our guard so we may institute such measures as to prevent contaminations of other individuals. Again, if the bact: riological report is negative, but symptoms all point to infective disease, surely he would be a careless physician, who would rot treat the case according to his own j dgment. Every practitioner, I believe, has bad similar surprises as stated in a recent address by Dr. Beverley Robinson of New York who says "I have treated diphthciia in a grave form where all clinical evidences pointed to the disâ€" ease, and where antitoxine apparently sav ed life, and yet laboratory research for the â€" Loefflet bacillus rendained negative. . 1 bave treated another case in which the clinical manifeatations« of disease were of the mildeat form, and jet the bacteriological finding pro nounced it to be one o diphtheria, virulent in nature. _ Manifestly, if I pin my faith on germ culture and inotuâ€" lation in the first instance, 1 may lose a valuable life. Relying upon the laboratory re; ort in the secoad case, I may possibly have guarded others from un attaok of a serious afection, and mesuredly 1 have occasioned a great deal of trouble, anxiety, and exponse by more than carefol sanitary preâ€" cautions." subsidence of all inflammatory symp toms and abnormal discharges. _ And again the late W. Fitzgerald said "I am i1 ot ignoring or depreciating the enormous, the brilliant services which bacteriology has rendered to science: Iam merely pleading for a more rational view, a dispassionate judgment, a calm, judical attitude, reâ€" legating it to its proper aphere as the handmaid, not the master and leader, of science, always remembering that its seductive brilliance should not biind us to other aud more prosaic aspects of disease." In consideration of the ntatements‘ made by such experienced and learned professional gentlemen, and in con sideration of the diffuse prevalence of the diphtheria germ, and more partieâ€" ularly, in consideration of the extra heavy, probably unnscessary expense of prolongued detention, 1 would sugâ€" gest that the attending physician be authorized to use his own jadgment in discharging patients from quarantine, or, if the Board of Hea‘lth wish to furâ€" ther safeguard the interests of the public let it be the «uty of the Medical Health Oflicor to visit each patient with the attending physician and the djscharge to be grantedlon the recomâ€" mendation of both. _ Very truly, G.
