The present one was never intended for a station; it is old and leaky and can't be brought up to date.

Moreover, the site is not the best for the purpose but enough could be got for it to buy a new one in a better locality. The matter was up a few years ago and there was some talk of getting a site on government property down there. but nothing came FIRE BRIGADE SALARIES.

Amidst many expressions of sorrow and regret, the funeral of the late William H. (Hod) Stuart, took place yesterday afternoon, scores of sorrowing friends following the remains to the grave. The body arrived from Belleville, where the tragic death of the famous hockeyist occurred, yesterday morning, accompanied by the father, 3r. William Stuart. The remains were immediately taken to the family residence, 272 Bank street, where hundreds took a last look at the features of the well known athlete.

Members of every athletic club in the city united in paying a last tribute to the unfortunate young man. Despite a heavy rain storm the funeral was a very lengthy one. The services were conducted at the house by Rev. Canon Kittson, rector of Christ church cathedral, and Rev. Walter M.

Loucks, rector of St. Matthew's. The chief mourners were the widow and children, Wm. Stuart, father; Mrs. Stuart, his mother; Messrs.

Bruce and Alex. Stuart, brothers; Misses Jessie and Lettie Stuart, sisters; Messrs. John, Alex. and Thomas Stuart, uncles, and Mrs. Mary Stuart, aunt.

The cortege proceeded by way of Bank and Wellington streets, the remains being interred at Beechwood cemetery.

tittle and floral numerous, offerings were testifying both in beau- their silent manner to the high regard and respect for the deceased. They included a star from the Ottawa Hockey club; a pillow from the citizens and "Hod's" friends in Belleville; a wreath from the Wanderer Hockey club, Montreal; wreath, the Victoria Hockey club; wreath, Mr. L. N. Bate: wreath, the family; wreath, Miss Belleau; sheaf, Mr.

and Mra. A. E. Low; and a pillow from Mr. and Mrs.

Alexander Stuart. Mr Mrs. Stuart were the recipients of many messages of condolence during the day. It is a long time since a death has caused such 'a shock in the city and everyone, apparently, united in tendering their condolence to the grief-stricken family. The representatives of the varlous local athletic organizations expressed their regrets on behalf of their respective clubs and messages were also received from Montreal and elsewhere, where Hod had made hundreds of friends.

Hod's last newspaper interview appears to have been given last week at Belleville, where he was shown a clipping from 'the Citizen stating that he had received offers from western clubs which desired his services next winter. The Belleville Intelligencer of Saturday had the following concerning Stuart: "The Intelligencer this morning had 8 conversation with Mr. Stuart and the famous player said he didn't know, now, where he would play next winter, or if he would play at all. The great cover point seemed to be a little sore on the papers in places where he had played. It was not always the players who did the best who got best press notices.

Anyhow, he the could not say what his prospects were for next winter. He might stay in Belleville, but whether he would chase the puck or not he couldn't say. And, by the way, the impression left on the interviewer's mind was that Hod did not care much whether he ever played hockey again or not." REGRET IN MONTREAL. Montreal, June 24-That Montrealers were shocked to hear of Hod Stuart's tragic death is to put it mildly. Presldent James Strachan of the Wanderer Hockey club, and other friends in the city were informed by wire of the fatality and it was not long till the sad news was pretty generally known throughout the city.

It was with consternation that the news was heard, for Hod Stuart was one of the most popular athletes ever seen or known in Montreal or indeed In all Canada. Big and strong though he was, he was one of the gentlest of chaps- quiet, reserved, unassuming. On the ice he was noted for his forbearance, Players might foul him, use him unduly roughly or speak insultingly to him, yet they could not drive that genial smile from his face. Montrealers and Ottawang saw him deliberately battered last winter but never did they see him act in any but the most gentlemanly way. His gameness was the talk of the Canadian hockey world and probably nothing like it was ever seen in the athletic circles of the Dominion.

Stuart was the most talked of hockey player in Canada last winter. He was considered by competent judges to be the finest exponent of hockey in the world and his work for the Wanderers made it apparent that there was good grounds for this opinion. Little or no comment is required on Hod's work here throughout the winter. He was the backbone of the team, a real general of the game, knowing the game thoroughly himself and being able to impart his knowledge to others. He could play any position from forward to point, and without him the Wanderers would have been lost.

His gentlemanly playing in all the hard games he took part in, won hosts of friends for Stuart in this city. In the famous Ottawa match, which led to the summonsing of two of the players to a police court, Stuart bore the brunt of the rough work without either flinching or retallating. Although laid out unconscious in the course of the match, he came back and finished it out as if nothing had happened. In the return match in Ottawa late in the Healthful and Economical.

season, he stood punishment in the same way, all the time going on with his play and being that night the largest factor in the Wanderer victory. His work as a player was prominent in the Kenora series out West, when Wanderers succeeded in winning back the cup lost to Kenora earlier in the season. Personally Stuart was quiet and unassuming, and well liked wherever he went. He escaped a common failing of many athletic stars in that the praise he received on all sides never turned his head. He was not a great talker, and his own exploits never formed a topic of what little he had to say, except when he was with intimate friends.

Mr. James Strachan, the president of the Wanderer club, with which Stuart played last season, said: cannot tell you how greatly shocked I was to hear of the terrible accident, and how deeply I regret poor Stuart's untimely death. He was a splendid hockey player, and one of the finest fellows in the game, and no one who knew him as I did could have anything but good to say of him. In his death Canadian sport suffers a very great loss." Mr. William Strachan, known to hockey fans as.

"Billy," also expressed his regret. didn't play very much with Stuart," he said, "but the little I did play in his company gave me a very high opinion of him as a player and as a man. He was a fine fellow and all who knew him liked him. I was greatly surprised and grieved to learn of his death." TRIBUTE FROM OTTAWA. One of the officers of the Ottawa Hockey club, discussing the sad ending of the famous cover-point's life, remarked that the hockey world had undoubtedly lost one of its greatest exponents.

"I believe Stuart was the greatest cover-point in the world," he stated to a Citizen representative. "Whether he played for or against Ottawa, his heart was in the game, and he did his best to turn the tide of vietory in favor of his team. Stuart was a hero on the ice and a gentleman off it and his death came as a great shock to the players and officers of the Ottawa Hockey club. His is one of the saddest deaths I have ever heard of and no persons sympathize more deeply with his bereaved widow and family than the members of the Ottawa Hockey club. We will always remember Hod Stuart and his wonderful prowess as a hockey player." Ernie Johnston of the Wanderers, speaking to Citizen reporter yesterday, said that the members of the team were at a loss to express their sympathy and surprise at then death of Stuart.

He said that no had ever made so many friends in such a short time in Montreal as the deceased. Several of the players were heartbroken, Johnston said, by the news of Stuart's demise. Mrs. Stuart received a letter yesterday, which her late husband had posted at Belleville Saturday. Hod, in this, his last letter, said that he had succeeded in securing a suitable home in Belleville, and asked his wife to up and take the children with her this week.

Hod, it is believed, had decided, to reside in Belleville until the completion of the drill shed, which his father has the contract for constructing, giving up hockey altogether.

Their singing was one of the pleasing features of the evening. Miss Helen Ferguson acted as accompanist for her sister, Miss Georgina Ferguson. The special feature of the program was a fantasy given by several young lady members of the league.

The platform was decorated with flags and flowers especially for this number, which added an artistic eftect. Small boats filled with flowers in which glowed small candles also helped to make the effect more beautiful. Miss Edna Perkins who was instrumental in having the fantasy pu't on and who supervised it deserves great credit for its success.

Blood Poison Through Stocking Dye Curious Case at Kingston. While attending to her household duties. Mrs. A. Harrison, Placed'Armes, Kingston struck her ankle against a projection which inflicted a cut.

She paid little attention to the wound at the time, but in a few days it became swollen and very painful. A medical man was consulted, and it was then found that the dye from her stocking had got into the wound and set up blood poison. Then began a trying period of pain, which, had it not been for Zam-Buk, might not even yet have been ended. Mrs. Harrison says: "The doctor ordered certain treatment, which I followed out; but the wound got no better, and refused to heal.

It was most painful, and sometimes I could hardly bear to walk. I was almost in despair when a friend advised me to try Zam-Buk. It soon reduced the swelling and inflammation, and the pain-so acute before got less and less until the ankle was quite easy. Then the wound began to heal, and 8 little more perseverance resulted in a complete cure." Zam-Buk draws the pain and the poison from a wound at the same time. It heals ulcers, chafing sores, sore feet, bad legs, and varicose ulcers.

It cures insect stings, sun-burn, summer rashes, and heat spots; while as a cure for chronic wounds, eczema, prairie itch, ringworm, scalp sores, and sores due to blood poison, it is absolutely without equal. All stores and druggists sell at fifty cents, or post-free from the Zam-Buk Toronto, for price..
