THE MANUFACTURERS, CLUB. With a re-united force and energy the Manufacturers' Cli.b will begin the month with a membership sufficiently large to do the city much more good.

Twenty-eight new members have Irt-ev added this month, which makes 100 resident members, limit allowed by the bv-laws of the club. This rule however will in time be changed because there are some now on the waiting list and many other good business men who should be members of lie organization. The Manufacturers Club was organized to promote the business interests of the town and incidental- the social interests of the members. It has already been a power for good, but we beileve its best work is just ahead of us. The large membership which is composed of citizens in all liens of business here wtill solidify and weld top-ether all efforts for the advancement of the community.

THE CHANGED CONDITIONS. It will take sometime for us to get accustomed to the changed conditions under the new charter. The' Mayor has been put at the head practically of every department and is even given veto power in the council. Heretofore when a man was elected to an office he ielt like he could rest comfortably for a year. This has even changed.

The Mayor must give every department his personal at tention and if an officer is not doing the city good service in the judgement of the Mayor he can remove him. This is a great responsibility on one man, and in order to protect himself and the interests of the city he will have to exercise this power once and awhile. CARNIVAL CONTESTN ATS.

Minoru, King Edward's horse, won the classic derby today at Epsom downs. This is the first'time the King's colors have been swept to victory in the derbv atlhough he won twice as Prince of Wales. Minoru carried the royal colors under the wire before one of the largest and most fashionable throngs that ever scanned the historic track on derbv da v. King Edward and Oueen Alexandra occupied the royal box. The hopes of Americans wer crashed in Sir Martin Louis 'horse.

It is estimated th.al half a million dollars were lost by Sir Martin's backers. Iletting was extremely heavy. Sir Martin did not have any show. There were many rich Americans at the track. WOMEN MOBBED By Sympathisers of Strinking Hat Manufacturers.

A number ot persons were bruised and cut, but none seriously hurt. Carriages provided by the manufacturers were demolished.

COUNTRY'S FIRE WASTE. The president of the National Hoard of Underwriters has recently issued his annual report. There is one subject discussed in that report to which we wish to call special attention. It is that oi the tire waste in this country. The report shows that the ordinary annual loss by lire amounts to two hundred million dollars, and this does not include, exceptional and largely preventable tires, such as that in San Francisco.

For the first three months of the present year the loss reached titty -three million dollars considerably over half a million a da'. These figures far exceed those of the countries of Europe, though it is our boast that our larger cities are ecpiipped with much more efficient fire departments than are those of the Old Country. 'It must be remembered that the value of property destroyed does not represent the entire fire loss. In addition to the immense destruction of buildings and their contents there must be added the interruption to traffic. the suspension of business and the stoppage of wages, all of which, added to the actual loss by fire, will greatly increase the figures above given.

Wihle the fire waste question has in recent years attracted the attention of insurance experts and legislators, and they have tried to remedy Ihe existing evil, and have done so to a great extent, the heavy losses which continue show that there is still much to be done in the way of checking the waste of property by lire. That there there is sonic defect somewhere whether in the manner of construction of building, carelessness of the occupants of the buildings or defect in the laws enacted for the protection of insurance companies and property owners, we the not prepared to say. Those are questions which should be studied by insurance experts and by our legislators. That a lamentable condition exists cannot be denied, and it is equally certain that there is a remedy somewhere of some kind for that evil. The thing to be done is to find it and to put it in force.

The person who solves the problem, points way to checking the heavy drain on the country's wealth by the immense fire Waste will indeed be a public benegactor.
