 What is Ontario? 
 
 0NTARIO is the Premier Province of the Dominion of 
 Canada. It is as large as the French Republic or the 
 German Empire. It ha^ a population of over 2,000,000, 
 contained in one-thir .< of its area. 
 
 Ontario is without a dollar of Provincial debt. The municipal 
 taxes for all purposes, including schools, average only $6 a head 
 per year of the whole population. There is no direct tax for either 
 Provincial or Doninion Government revenue. 
 
 Its climate is healthful and invigorating, warm in summ'-- and 
 exhilarating in winter It admits of the growth of grapes, peaches, 
 plums, pears and apples in the greatest abundance, and of un- 
 excelled appearance and flavor. 
 
 Its cereals, grasses and roots stand unrivalled on the American 
 continent. Its cheese stands first on the British market, and its 
 live stock products are noted for their excellence. 
 
 The timber and mineral wealth of Ontario is enormous, and 
 will provide the greater portion of revenue necessary for conducting 
 the public affairs of the Province for many years to come. 
 
 The tourist and sportsman may revel amongst the fish and 
 game and the marvelous beauties of scenery the lakes and rivers 
 of Ontario afford. The world-famed Niagara, the island summer- 
 ing places on the St. Lawrence, the Georgian Bay and the Muskoka 
 Lakes, the wild magnificence of its unsettled Northland—Algonquin 
 Park, Lake Superior, Lake of the Woods, Rainy River. All these 
 and more are within the bounds of the Province. 
 
 Life in Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, 1. ondon and other cities 
 and towns of Ontario, provides religious facilities, educational 
 advantages, social privileges and business opportunities of the best 
 das*. 
 
 The Government of Ontario is practically a pure form of 
 democracy, forming in confederation with six other Provinces the 
 Dominion of Canada- Its institutions are most enlightened and 
 advanced. It is a country of splendid promise and offers attractive 
 homes and spheres of activity for millions of citizens. 
 
 Ontario still has millions of acre? of free grant and low priced 
 land, equal in fertility to any in the Province, to offer settlers. 
 
 For hand book descriptive of the resources of Ontario apply to 
 P. Byrne, Ontario Government Agent, 9 James St., Liverpool; 
 or to the ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Toronto, 
 Canada.

 a corresponding member of the Histoiical Societies of Quebec, Buffalo, Manitoba and New

 In 1862 Mr. Morgan established "Tlie Canadian Parliamentary Com-

 1878, he established " 'I'ho Dominion Annual Register and Review," 
 which ho likewise edited and published, annually, up to 1887. 
 
 " More general contributions to history are the works of the Abbd Faillon, of Mr. 
 Parknian, of Or. Seaflding, of the Abb(5 Laveixli^re, of Sir J. M. Le Mciine, of .Judge llali- 
 burton, of Mr. Fennings Taylor, of Ur. Miles, of the Abb6 Casgrain, of Col. Gray, of Mr. 
 I.ouis Turcot te, of Mr. Charles Lindsey, of Dr. George Stewart, and of Mr. II. .1. Morgan. 
 We might add very largely to this list, which serves rather • j show the variety of ways in 
 which histoi-ical talent may be advantageously occupied than to sum up what has been 
 accomplished. Of all these writers there is none who is more deserving of the gratitude 
 of his fellow -citizens fhan the last-mentione<i. Harflly a day passes, indee<l, in which we, 
 as joiuMialists, do not refer for information to some of Mr. Morgan's various stores of 
 information, and rarely do we refer to them in vain. His latest enterprise, " The Dominion 
 Annual Register," the last issue of which we had the pleasure not long since of i-eviewing 
 in these columns, will prove of exccetling value to the future historian. It is a repertory 
 of all that Is really important in the history of the year, and is the only source to which 
 we can go, with the confidence that we shall not he disajipointed. for political or general 
 information. Yet this is only one of the results of Mr, Morgan's thoughtfulness, ability 
 and energy. His "Celebrated Canadians," his " Bibliotheca Canadensis," his " IjCgul 
 Directory," and his " Parhamentary Companion," are also contributions to history of 
 superior interest anu value. The two former have won deserved praise on ooth sides of 
 the Atlantic, especially in the great English reviews, and we bespeak for the new eciiticn 
 of them, which is now in preparation, a reception even more favourable, in proportion \^ 
 Canada's greater and growing importance." —.Wo«Ov«/ Gazette.

 k LTHOUGH tlip scope and object of Thk Canadian Men 
 AND Women of the Tiaie are sufficiently indicated on 
 its title-page, a further word or two from the Editor may not 
 be without interest to the i-eader. 
 
 Commencing with the Editor's " Sketches of Celebrated 
 Caiuiilians," published in 18G2, there have ap})eared from the 
 native pi*ess, at various times, many woi-ks and publications 
 of a similar character. The pi'eseut work, however, would seem 
 to be the first attempt made to supply a hand-book of biography 
 devoted exclusively to living persons, of both sexes, including 
 among these Canadians of note dwelling in all parts uf the 
 world. That the number of the latter is very considerable no 
 person can doubt vho examines these pages. Canadians have 
 eai'ned and are still earning distinction for themsehes ajid 
 their country in every clime and, indexed, under e\ery form of 
 goverinnenl. 
 
 In carrying out his design the Editor has tiied to adhere to 
 the arrangement adopted in the English " Men and Women <»f 
 the Time," a work whose excellence is universally recognized. 
 .Some features, now introduced for the first time in a biographical 
 dictionary, will, it is hoped, be found useful. These are, 1st, 
 including in certaiii of the sketches the recorded or ori<rinal 
 
VI 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 opinions of the subject of the sketch on the public questions of 
 the day ; 2nd, adding, to the majority of the sketches, opinions 
 taken from the public press or other trustworthy authority 
 on the merits, work and services of the subject thereof; and 
 3rd, supplying tht- post-office address, town residence, and club 
 (if any) of each person represented in the book. 
 
 The Editor has conscientiously endeavoured to prepare a book 
 which shall be found full and accurate, and to be truly repre- 
 sentative of Canadian achievement, intellect and worth ; still, as 
 mistakes are inseparable from all human undertakings, he is not 
 without misgivings that he may have fallen into errors, but he 
 is not without hope that these will be found few and trivial. 
 
 It is intended to make The Canadian Men and Women of 
 THE Time a permanent institution in the land, a new edition, 
 thoroughly revised, appearing every three years. Suggestion^; 
 for new names, corrections and fulditional information are 
 respectfully invited. 
 
 The Editor feels himself under a great weight of obligation to 
 many gentlemen throughout the country for \ aluablr assistance 
 rendere<l him in his present task. To one und all he here 
 tenders the expression of his mo;^t grateful acknowledgments.

 .pis education at St. Andrew's Univ. 
 End at Univ. Coll., Oxford (B. A., 
 1871 ; M.A., 1«77). While still at 
 )11. , he succeeded to the peenig*!, 
 fy the death of his elder bro. , the 
 jixth Karl, wlio wan lost at sea, Jan. 
 1870. His Kxcellency is the

 an. He is a Fellow of the Royal 
 ;)|k><^ of Antiquaries, and an LL. 1). 
 |rf the Uiiivs. of Aberdeen and St. 
 Lndrew's , he has also received the 
 degree of LL.D, from Queen's, 
 cC.ill, Toronto and Ottawa Univs., 
 pad that of D.C.L. from the Univ. 
 ^ Bishop's Coll., Lennoxville. In 
 1885 Lord Al>er<leen received the 
 areedoin of the city of Edinburgh, 
 d also that of the city of Aber- 
 ,een. In 1895 he was created a 
 Knight Grand Cross of the Most Dis- 
 J^nguished Order of St. Michael and 
 it. (ieorge. In the same year he 
 as made a Chief of the Blackfeet 
 
 Q 
 
 «ee 
 
 Indian.s ; and in 1896 he was adop- 
 ted into the Seneca Tribe of Six 
 Nation Indians, and made a Chief 
 of the same. The Earl of A. enteretl 
 the Ho. of Lords in '872 as a Con., 
 but in the session of iS76 he disa- 
 greed with some of the principal 
 measures of his party, and when, 
 two yrs. later, the iWls of Derby 
 and Carnarvon resigned their ofRcee 
 Lord A. heartily supported them in 
 the step they had taken. In 1S80 
 he was apptd. I^)rd-]jiout. of Aber- 
 deenshire. In the following year he 
 was called to the <lignity of Lord 
 High C<mimr. to the (ieid. Assembly 
 of the Ch. of Scot., an office to 
 which he was reupptd. five yrs. in 
 succession. In 1875 he was a mem., 
 and sub.sequently he became Chair- 
 man of the Royal Coinn. apptil. to 
 inquire into tiie subject of Railway 
 •idents. During 1877-78 ho served 
 on the Comte. of the Ho. of Lords 
 on Intemperance, and on several 
 other Special Committees of the Ho. 
 He was Cnairnian of the Royal 
 Conin. on Loss of Life at Sea in 
 1885. His Lordship "had now- 
 become known," says one of his biog- 
 raphers, "as a mem. of the Lib. 
 party, and as one frequently taking 
 part in the debates in the Ho. of 
 Lords. In 1886 Mr. (iladstone 
 apptd. him Viceroy of Irel. , and as 
 such he won well deserved popular-

 in I8!H), lie took up his roHidenoe 
 in Can. for a few months, and again 
 returned to this country in 189 1. 
 On tho.se oecasioiiH lie niaile himself 
 aociuainted with the wonderful nat- 
 ural resources of IJ. (.-. , and as one 
 result of his olwervations invested 
 largely iu lands in that Province. 
 On one portion of his new estat«! in 
 the Oknnngan Dist. ho has since 
 mainlaine<l a ranche for stock-breed- 
 ing ptirpo.scH ; on another a thriving 
 and extensive fruit-farm, together 
 with a forty ..ere hop-yard. His 
 I a])pt. as (!ov. -(lenl. of Can. took 
 y place in 189;^. His Kxcellency ar- 
 / rived at (Quebec by the Allan steamer 
 
 ,'' (S'rf,»v/?'?tjrf,;(, on Sunday, Sept. 17, and 
 
 ' was given a hearty welcome by all 
 
 J classes of the population. On the 
 
 following day he was sworn into 
 oflice by Sir Henry Strong, Chief 
 Justice of Can. Since then he hiua 
 traversed the entire Dom. iu his 
 official capacity. While of course 
 making Ottawa their headtpiarters 
 and principal i»lace of abode, Lord 
 and I..ady A. have since their arrival 
 in Can. contrived to reside for a 
 portion of each year in one of the 
 several provinces of the Uom., and 
 in this way to come into personal 
 contact with the people and their 
 interests in the various portions of 
 the country, a unifying influence 
 with reference to the l)oni. as a 
 whole being thus promoted. The 
 most noteworthy incident of Lord 
 A.'s Vice-Royalty thus far occurred 
 in June, 1896, when, in consequence 
 of their defeat at the polls, the 
 
 ^ „ . . Con. Admn. at Ottawa, led by Sir 
 Charles Tupper.'resigned. The duty 
 of forming a new Clovt. for the Dom. 
 was entrusted to the Hon. (now Sir) 
 Wilfrid Laurier, theretofore leader 
 of the Lib. Opposition in the Ho. of 
 
 Commons, who acquitted himself of 
 the task to thi; entire satisfaction of 
 the Gov. (Jenl. As one result of the 
 change of luiministration, (yaii. has 
 commitied herself to a fiscal p»dicy, 
 which f )r the first time embraces 
 preferential trade arrangements with 
 the Mother (Viuntiy. Early in 1897, 
 as the lesult of a public appeal made 
 bv Lord A. aH (Jov.-Oenl., the sum

 has been well described as "a nobl<! 
 woman, possessing rare executive 
 ability, great capacity for work, and 
 the broadest sympathies," was, bo- 
 fore coming to Can., the Presdt. of 
 several Women's Assns. in (It. Urit. , 
 including the Scottish Mothers' 
 Union, the Women's Local (Jovt. 
 Soc, and the Women's Liberal Fed 
 eration of Kng. and of Scot., a 
 position which Her Kxcellenciy re- 
 signed on coming to Can., owing to 
 the strictly non-political character 
 of the (iov, -Genl. 's functions. While 
 at Dublin Casth^ in 1886, Lady A. 
 organized the Irish Industries As.sn., 
 its object being to develop home 
 industries among the poorer people. 
 In order to strengthen the work of 
 the Assn., it was decided to have 
 a display of Irish in<lustries at the 
 World's Fair, Chicago, and this dis 
 play was carried out under Lady A.'h 
 supervision, Her Latiyship crossing 
 the ocean for that purpose. On leav- 
 ing Irel. on that occasion, she re- 
 ceived the thanks of the Queenstown 
 Municipal Bd., and of numerous 
 other public bodies in Irol., irre- 
 spective of political parties and relig

 convened by the Lord Mayor), foi'

 Helf (lostily in touch with the people, 
 and in a variety of ways has 
 materially assisted her husbaiul 
 in liis work of national unification

 Assns. together in a federation 
 pledged to "further the applica- 
 lion of the (lolden Rule to society, 
 custom and law," held its first meet- 
 ly ing in Ottawa in May, 1894, ami 
 f promises to become a permanent in- 
 *f et itution in the land. At the meeting 
 held in Toronto, 1S!>5, the t'oumul re- 
 corded " its grateful ap|)reciation of 
 the zeal, the unfailing tact, the 
 administrative al)ility, and devotion 
 to the cause of humanity by which 
 Her Kxcellency tiie Countess of 
 Aberdeen has entloared herself to 
 the hearts of the women of the 
 Dominion." Another organizaticm 
 in which Lord and Lrfidy A. take 
 tlie d(!epest inttnest, an<l which was 
 founded l)y Her Excellency, is the 
 Aberdeen Assn., for sending out 
 literature to settlers in the isolated 
 districts of (^an., who are unable to 
 procure reading for themselves. In 
 C4)mmemoration of the Queen's Dia- 
 mond Jubilee, Lady A. now desires 
 to found another institution, the 
 " Virtorian Order of Nurses," in 
 aympathy with the movement in 
 Gt. iJrit. for establishing the Queen's 
 Jubilee Nurses under the special 
 patronage of Her Majesty. To carry 
 out this scheme, which will place 
 efficiently trained, skilful, certified 
 nurses within the reach of all classes 
 ,^of the population, it is stated that a 
 
 fund estiniatod at one million dollsni 
 
 will bo ro«piirtHl. The scheme has 
 Ikjoii warmly endorsed at public 
 meetings hidtl in all the principal 
 cities of the Dom., and will undount- 
 edly Iwconic an acconipliHh<«l fact in 
 due course of time. Not the le<v8t 
 of Her Excellency's gifts are those 
 which have made her so widely 
 known as a writer ami speaker. 
 Siie is tiic author of "Through Can- 
 a«la with a Kodak," a series of de- 
 scriptive sketches of Can. Among 
 her public addres.Mcs, "The Present

 on "The University and its EtTect

 at the Eighteenth t^uarterly Con- 
 vo'jation of the Univ. of Chicago, 
 A pi., 1897, are the most recent. 
 In acknowledgnu-nt of her public 
 services, Her Exciellency in 1807 re- 
 ceived from Queen's Univ., Kingston, 
 the h(jnorary tlegree of LL. 1). In 
 the I J S. she has been elected Hon.

 ADAM, Oraeme Mercer, author and 
 editor, was l». 18.S9, at Ltardieail, 
 Midlothian, Scot., and ed. at Kdin. 
 His father, who il. 1841, was factor 
 on the estates of (iraeme Mercer, of 
 Mavishank and tJorthy, after whom 
 he was named. His mother wan one 
 of the Wisliarts of Montro.se, and is 
 a Hueal descendant of (leo. Wishart, 
 the .Scottish martyr. Mr. A. may 
 almo.st he said to have been cradled 
 among l>ooks, for from early youth 
 he was engaged in the coinnierce of 
 literaturt!, and at the age of 19 was 
 at the head of the retail branch of 
 one of the oldest Scottish publishing 
 houses. Through the interest of 
 Win. HIackwood k ScmH. the well- 
 known Kdiiilmrgh publishcr.s, young 
 A. was in 1858 led to accept the 
 management of the book -house of 
 Mr. (now Rev. Dr.) (\inningham 
 (ieikie, who lias since achieved dis- 
 tinclion as a religicms writer in Kng. , 
 anc'. in tliat year came to Toronto to 
 enter upon his engagement. Two 
 yrs. afterwards lie succeeded to 
 Mr. Geikie's business, in connection 
 with a gentlen\an then engaged in 
 educational work, with whom he 
 formed a partnersliip nnder the firm 
 name of Hollo 4 Adam. This part 
 nersiiip was dissolved, 1866, and in 
 
 the f(»llowing year, a new oiin wan 
 formed under the style of Adam, 
 Stevenson A Co. , which for 10 yru. 
 wuH favourably known to the native 
 reading imblic;, and especially to the 
 book selling community of the Dom., 
 whose trade the operations of the 
 firm did much to elevate and de- 
 v(dop. During this period Mr. A. 
 threw himself actively into the work 
 of a publisher and wlndesale IxMik- 
 seller and importer— the many i>ul>- 
 lications with the imjirinmtnr of the 
 house attesting the spirit and enter- 
 prise which characterized tht^ work 
 of the firm aiul the impetus given Ut 
 the highei' reading tastes of the 
 peo|)h'. In 1876 .Mr. A., in alliance 
 with the late John Lovell, the Mtmt- 
 roal publisher, opened a publishing 
 house in N. V., as an outlet for the 
 literature manufactured by men"', 
 of Mr. LoveU's family at Rouse's 
 Point, N. Y. ; but as the experiment 
 was not maintained he returne<l to 
 Toronto in the spring of 1878. Mr. 
 A.'s brief c.ireer as a N. Y. publisher 
 was not, however, barren of results, 
 for during the year in which his firm 
 •lid business in that city, over 6t) 
 works were issued InMiriiig the iin- 
 ])rint of the house. The N. Y. enter- 
 prise, moreover, gave life to a house 
 founded )»y one of Mr. A.'s partners, 
 in continuation of tlie firm's projects, 
 which sub.s(i(iuentlv ileveloped into 
 the mammoth puidishin<' concern 
 known as the U. S. B(H)k Co. With 
 Mr. A.'s return to Toronto ends his 
 caieer as a publisher. At this date 
 his literary life may be said profes- 
 sionally to have begun, thougli as 
 far back as 1861, wlien publishing 
 the lirittHh Am. Afaij., we find that 
 he Ouiitrilmted reviews of books to 
 that periodical. Fnmi 1869 to 1872 
 he edited and, indeed, wrote almost 
 the whole of each number of a trade 
 ((uarterly, the Caiiatla liookxtller, 
 issued by his fiiin as an organ of tfie 
 book and publishing liou.scs of Can. 
 In 1872, with the co-o|)eration of 
 Prof, (ioldwin Smith and other 
 friends of Can. literature, he found- 
 ed the Canadian Monthly, and his 
 connection with that national mag. 
 
ADAM. 
 
 ;■: 
 
 was closely maintainocl np to the 
 period of his leaving for N.Y. lu 
 the spring of 1879 Mr. A. resumed 
 his connection with the publication, 
 and l)ecame its sole ed. , a poHition he 
 retained until its decease, 18S3 In 
 1879, also, Mr. A. launched the lirat 
 nutnher of the Can. Educalluiial 
 Monthly, which, under his editor- 
 ship, lasting for over 5 yrs., won for 
 itself a high pla<!e ,n th.e periodical 
 literature of ('an., and was, at the 
 time, ranked a.H one of the ablest 
 professional mags, of the continent. 
 Mr. A. was also for several yrs. 
 office-ed. and business manager of 
 The lii/staiifkr, and in connection 
 witli this duty acted as secy, and 
 literary assist, to (jJoldwin Smith. 
 He was also of tlie stjiff of writers 
 on the Weeh, when the latter gentle 
 man had relation« with it ; was like- 
 wise a <;ontributor to the Toronto 
 Nation, the Olohc, the Mail, and 
 other journals of the Ont. (;aj)ital ; 
 and had nuich to do with almost all 
 the literary undcitakings which orig- 
 inated in Toionto between tlu; years 
 1872 and 1892. Besides these Vari- 
 ous employments of his pen, Mr. A. 
 found leisure for authorship, and 
 the undertaking of literary work for 
 native as well as for Eng. and /*ni. 
 pid)lishing houses, in contributing 
 articles, revising manuscripts, and 
 putting works through the piess. 
 His inttjrest in literature has (ner 
 been an active one, and many native 
 literary ventures owe something to 
 the aid of his friendly pen. Mr. A.'s 
 serv'ic'S to education in Can. have 
 not been confined to journalistic and 
 nuvg. \Vork. In 1S8.S he cditeil 
 a series of school nnvding l)ooks, in 
 5 ^'olume^, known as the " Rojal 
 ("anadian Readers " ; two yrs. later 
 he also edited for Univ. u.se, a schol- 
 arly edition of Macaiday's " K-^say 
 on Warren Hastings,'' and in con- 
 junction with iJ. W. (Jonnor, B.A., 
 he published the "(Canadian High 
 School Woi'd Book," a manual of 
 orthoepy, synonymy and derivation 
 Another text-book which at this 
 period came chiefly from his pen, 
 ^n as9<K^iatiou with W. J. RobertBon, 
 
 M.A., was his "School Hi.Htory of 
 England and Canada," r Orieal 
 
 precis for sohs. which has i.ad a sale 
 of nearly 250, (»00 copies. The work 
 was authorized for use in all the 
 sohs. of Ont. as well as in many of 
 the educiitional in.stitutions of other 
 provinctis. In 1885 he published 
 "The Canadian North - West : its 
 History and its Troubles." a nWiimr 
 of the annals of Man. and the Terri- 
 tories from the early fur-trade period, 
 with the narrative of the half lireed 
 emevte. in the Selkirk Settlement, 
 and the two Riel rebellions. In 
 1886, in conjuncition with Miss A. 
 E. Wetherald, he wrote an histoii 
 cal ronumce entitled " An Algon 
 (luin Maiden," which passed tiirough 
 three separate editions. Of other 
 works whidi came from M»'. A.'s pen 
 at this period, the (;liief i'. an "Out- 
 line History of (Janadian Literature," 
 published as an adder.Iv.'-i to Dr. 
 Withrow's (Jan. History. This was 
 followed by a volume summarizing 
 the work in E(juatorial Africa of 
 Hy, M. Stanley, hy a series of books 
 of a topographical and descriptive 
 character on Can., the more notable 
 of which is an interesting volume, 
 attractively em])ellished, entitled 
 " lUustnited Quebec," a companion 
 volume to 'Illustrated Toronto," 
 also from Mr. A.'s pen. These were 
 again followed by "Canada from 
 Sea to Sea," a tourist's hand-lnjok 
 from Halifax to Vancouver, and by 
 a similar tl:ough more local work 
 entitled " Picturesipie Muakoka." 
 lij 1884 Mr. A. was a contributor to 
 " Picturesque Canada," edited by 
 Principal Orant, and recently ho 
 has supervised a reissue of this 
 work for an Am. publisher. In 
 1891 appeared an elaborate pictorial 
 ([uarto volume, issued for the To- 
 ronto iVn/7 Printing (Jo. ,(m "Toronto 
 Old and New," a M'ork designed as 
 a memorial of the l(K)th Anniversary 
 of the founding of U. C. and its 
 capital. In the same year was pub 
 lislied Mr. A.'s revision of the late 
 Edmund Collins's " Life of Sir John 
 A. Macdoiudd." brought down to 
 the lamented Can. statesman's death,

 The editing of a " Hai.d Book on

 an intrfxluction by Goldwin Smith ; 
 and the issue of a volume, in con- 
 junction with Principal Dickson, 
 M.A., embodying the "History of 
 Upper Canada College, " completes 
 Mr. A.'s literary work up to the 
 jX'riod of his second removal to N. Y. 
 Tlie occasion was taken advantage 
 of by Can. literary men and pub- 
 lishers to present Mr. A. with an 
 .address aiKi purse, in recognition of 
 his long and important services to 
 Can. I'tters. and of regret at his 
 departure from the country. Fof 
 the next 4 yrs. Mr. A. waa a resi- 
 dent of N.V., and identified with 
 its publishing and literary interests. 
 His chief connocuon there was with 
 the U. S. liook Co. , as reader and 
 literary adviser for the house, as 
 well as readier for a number of other 
 publishing firms, native and foreign. 
 His intimate knowledge of the book 
 world, both Am. and Eng., bro^^^ it 
 him not only into relations with the 
 chief publi ihers, but opened up fields 
 for his pen, in coiiijiilations, cydo- 
 pifdias, roll ueiice books, etc. , as well 
 as in iiiagaz.'ies and critical journals 
 as reviewer, i.'emoir writer, ami gen- 
 eral contributjr. His familiarity 
 with ('an. afiairs was also of value 
 to him in utilizing his pen on Can. 
 articles, in such entei-prises as John- 
 son's " UniverHul Cyclopedia," in the 
 Americanized " Encyclopi\'dia Bri- 
 tannica," in the Am. issue of " I'ic 
 tures(pie (Canada," in the P^nglish 
 " .Men of the Time," n.nd in review 
 work for the N. V. Xjfhii and other 
 (Titical and literary journals. Be- 
 .sules this varied labour Mr. A. was 
 able to do considerable work as an 
 author. His most successful books 
 in t he U. S have been a woik on 
 Athletics, being an exposition of the 
 strongman " .SiMidow's System of 
 Physical Training, ' with a narrative 
 of his career ; an iUustrated work 
 of a descriptive and pictorial char- 
 a.tcr, entitUul " Scenic Ameii<;a, 
 from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico"; 
 
 an edition of Justin McCarthy's 
 "History of Our Own Times," with 
 an introduction and supplementary 
 chapters dealing with the later 
 annals of Eng., from 1880 to 1894, 
 and a work entitled "The Standard 
 Young People's History of the 
 United States," by Edwaid S. Ellis, 
 M.A., with introduction, illustrative 
 notes, and lists of authorities, from 
 Mr. A.'s pen, as genl. ml. Other 
 forthcoming works projected by Mr. 
 A. are a " Cyclopaedia of British 
 and American Author-t," and an 
 "Encyclopaedia of Canadian Afl'airs. " 
 Some outline sketches, as material 
 for the former of these, have just 
 appeared in the section, "Literature 
 and Belles Lettres," in the "List of 
 Books for Women and tlieir Clubs," 
 issued by George Hes for the Am. 
 Library Ass.i. In May, 1890, Mr.

 ALLAN, Alexander Maodonald, fruit 
 grower, exporter, and experimenter 
 in fruits, is the a. of the late Rev. 
 Danl. Allan (Prcsb.), and was b. on 
 his fathers farm, " Brier Bank," 
 North Easthopo, near Stratford, 
 Ont., July 11,^844. Ed. primarily 
 at the local public sob., and at 
 Stratford High Sch., he afterwards 
 went to Toronto for a few years 
 under private tuition. He Iiad, 
 however, acjquired such a taste for 
 rural pursuits that further study 
 became irksonus to him. He there- 
 fore returned to the fai'm, whi<h he 
 managed for some yrs. F^arly in 
 life he hatl also imbil)od a strong 
 taste for horticulture, and as a l)oy 
 was given full csharge of the home 
 orchard and garden, then considered 
 one of the best in that part of the 
 Province. In pursuit of his incli- 
 nation Mr. A. spent several yrs., 
 after leaving the farm, travelling in 
 the U. S. , and on returning to Ont. , 
 gave the result of his acquired know- 
 ledge and observation in numerous 
 contributions to the perio<lical and 
 newspaper press, his letters and 
 articles, un<ler various nonis-de- 
 plnme, appearing in the Canada 
 Farmer, the Farmer'n Advocate, the 
 Weekly Ofohe, the HortienlturiHl, 
 and the Country GenUeman. Al)out 
 this time he l)ocame cd. and prop, of 
 the Huron Sitjnal, and in this jour- 
 nal gave Bi)ecial prominence to the 
 subjects uppermost in his mind. 
 He was an early <lir. of the Ont. 
 Fruit Growers Assn., and its Presdt. 
 for some yrs. Gradually becom-

 authorities at all the lea<ling fairs 
 ami oxhibitionaupcm this Continent, 
 where he usually acts alone in the 
 j>crforman(« of his duties. In 1886 
 he was apptd. a Commr. on Fruits 
 on Iwhalf of Can., at the Ind. and 
 Col. Kxhn , London, Kng. On this 
 occasion he H\yent nearly 6 months 
 in the world's metropolis, and con- 
 ducted the most successfui fruit ex- 
 hibitions which h.i r ever been held 
 tlicrc. It is believed that these dis- 
 plays have done more to advertise 
 Can. favourably in Kurope than prob- 
 ably any other agency.' While in 
 IJrit. he examined all fruits grown 
 there, ancl selected for propagation 
 those he considoreti worthy. Be- 
 sides conducting the exhibitions at 
 London, and the International at 
 Edinburgh, held in that year, he 
 hfuidled over 100,000 barrels of 
 apples in Brit, and continental mar- 
 kets for Can. shippers. Ho was one 
 of the first, and the largest shipper 
 of apples to the Brit, markets, and 
 ina<lc practical tests of other fruits 
 as well, from time to time. His 
 tests were not confined to Brit, 
 alone, but successful shipments were 
 made to Norway and Sweden, Ger- 
 many and India. He established 
 brands of apples in the Brit mar- 
 kets, and some .5 yrs. ago when he 
 organiztvl the Imperial Produce Co. 
 of Toronto, his brands were handed 
 over to that Co., which is now one 
 of the largest exporters of Can. pro- 
 ducts, Mr. A. organized this Co. 
 tor the purpose of bringing producers 
 and consumers closer together, and 
 the Co. has built up a magnificent 
 trade in this way, by taking the 
 goods direct from the producer in 
 Can., and placing them in the hands 
 of the Brit, retailer. It took some 
 years to perfect the scheme, but it is 
 now so well established that it can- 
 not ha broken up, although natur- 
 ally it did receive strong opposition 
 from speculators. Mr. A. is one of 
 the staff of lecturers employed by 
 the Govt, to address Fanners' In- 
 stitutes, his subject having special 
 
 reference to horticulture or such 
 others as local institutes may desire 
 to lie ma<le acquainted with. In 
 pursuit of the principles of his pro- 
 fession he served some yrs. in the 
 nursery business in connection with 
 the old Toronto Nurseries. Outside 
 of his own particular line he has 
 never ptished for a<lvancement, so 
 far iwj ofHce is concerned. He has 
 never entered the political or muni- 
 cipal field, although frequently re- 
 quested to do so. When ui Toronto 
 pursuing bis studies, he entered the 
 M. S. under Col. (now Genl.) Lowry, 
 H. M.'s 47th Regt,, and took a 1st 
 class certificate, but he has never 
 connectecl himself with any volun- 
 teer corp.s. Some yrs. ago ho made 
 a thorough t«i;r of the N. W. T. and 
 B. C, spending the whole of one 
 annmier and more there, for the pur- 
 pose of acquainting himself with the 
 capaliilities of that country as a 
 future field for fruit-growing and 
 forestry. While in B. C. upon this 
 occasion he was instrumental in 
 forming the Provl. Fruit Growers' 
 Assn., which is now doing an im-

 tunity of observing the wonclerful 
 vegetation of the troni(!H, and also 
 the peculiar features of West Indian 
 life, both of which he has aince 
 turned to good account. His popu- 
 lar novel, *' In al! iShaUos," is <tne of 
 the fruits of his tn pical experi- 
 ences. He now began to contribute 
 fi'oquently to the magazines, and 
 also fx) publish works on his own ac- 
 c( !tnt, and soon established a nspu- 
 tation as one of the most popular of 
 scientific authors. He is considered 
 one of the Iwist writers of the evolu- 
 tionary sch., and has ably contrib- 
 uted to the exposition of the Dar- 
 winian theory. Among his numer- 
 ous works the most noticeable are:

 Woman Who Did " (1895), in which 
 he enunciates the doctrine that 
 
 matrimony should Iks replaced by a 
 contract terminable at will, in which 
 there is a jierfect equality between 
 the contracting parties, has excited 
 much adverse criticism and hcmn 
 condemned from nuvny pulpits in 
 this country. In 1897 he com 
 meneed the publication of ii series 
 of guide-books, dealing with the art 
 and history of some of tiie principal

 ministration of the dept. those qual- 
 ities which ho had before eminently

 were declared by our recent visitors

 BELLEAU — SELLEMARE. 
 
 80C. composed exrluaively of artiatn 
 ever formed in Can. Of this hoc. 
 his H. was a mem., though he did 
 not enter on a pii ft^ssional career 
 until the formation of the Royal 
 Can. Acad., by the Marqnia of 
 Lome, 1880. For 7 yrs. lie held the 
 jK)Hition of art dir. at Alma Coll., 
 at. Thomas, Ont. , and teatiher of 
 drawing in the pul)lic schs. of Lon- 
 don, Ont. ; but finding that these 
 engnjMHed too much of his time, he 
 removed to Toronto, 18S8, and 8<)on 
 after de<'ided to confine himself to 
 painting. As a jxirtrait and figure 
 painter he has achieved his greatest 
 success, but unfortunately very few 
 of his portraits have been publicly 
 exhibited, and it is, therefore, as a 
 painter of landscapes that he is 
 njost widely known. In his treat- 
 ment of the doud-giit and mist- 
 enshrotided j)eaks and glaciers of 
 our Rotky Mts., he is considered to 
 have a ityle particularly his own. 
 The rapiv^ acfvaru^ement made by 
 this artist (iviri:-^ the past few yrs. 
 has l>een remarked by all who 
 take an interest in his field of 
 study. In 1894, he eclipsed all his 
 previous efforts in his "Lights of a 
 City Street." Encouraged by the 
 success of this picture, he de- 
 termined on a still greater effort, 
 and the two canvasses depicting 
 incidents connected with the death 
 of Sir John Thompson, was the 
 result. For this purpose he visited 
 Eng. , where he obtained a personal 
 sitting from the Queen, an honour 
 never l)efore accorded, we l)elieve, 
 to any artist from this side oi the 
 Atlantic, and to but three or four 
 living artists in the world. Mr. 
 B.-S. was elected a mem. of the 
 Royal Can. Acad, of Arts, 1888, and 
 two yrs. afterwards. exhibite<l a 
 picture at the Royal Acad., T^ondon, 
 Eng. In 1891, he went to Paris 
 and studied under Cimrtois, Blanc 
 and Dupain. In religion, a Meth., 
 he is also a Freemason and a

 French schs. in his native city, and 
 completed his education at the colls, 
 of Nicolet and St, Hyacinthe. In 
 hiH youth he cave some attention to 
 law, but finally entered commerce. 
 He was the first to organize county 
 Vol. Mil. COS. in L. C, and in 1857, 
 took the command of the first Co. 
 formed in the 8th Mil. Dist. De- 
 clining appt. to a Co. in H. M.'s 
 100th Prince of Wales Royal Can. 
 Regt. , on its formation, 1858 (after 
 having passed the examinations 
 therefor), he became brigade-maj. 
 of the 8th Mil. I)ist.,withtherankof 
 It. col. 1862, and rendered efficient 
 services at that time in enrolling 
 new levies of men for defence. 
 Retiring from business he gave him- 
 .lelf wholly to his mil. duties. He 
 entered political life, 1861, in which 
 year he was an unsuccessful candi- 
 date for Laval, in the Can. Assembly. 
 Returne«l at the g. e. 1863, he con- 
 tinued to represent the County from 
 that time up to the accomplishment 
 of Confederation, a measui-e which 
 he, as a follow&r of Sir Geo. Cartier, 
 warmly supported. At the g. e. 
 under the new Constitution, 1887, 
 he wa.s returned, l)oth to the Ho. 
 of Commons and the Provl. As- 
 sembly, and continued to sit con 
 c\irrently in those bodies for some 
 yrs. As Chairman of the Contingent 
 Cnmte. , Quebec, he was the means 
 of effecting large savings in the ex- 
 penditure for legislation. He waw 
 callud to the Sen.'tte by the Earl of 
 DuflFerin, Oct. 7, 1873,' and he has 
 l)een, according to the Montreal 
 
 Star, " the special champion of 
 French -Can. rights in the Red 
 Chamber." Indeed, throughout his 
 public life, Mr. R. has kept the in- 
 ttjrests of his fellow-countrymen and 
 of Roman Catholics generally, con- 
 stantly upi>ermost, going so far as 
 to part company with his [)olitical 
 friends on more than one occasion, 
 for their seeming neglect of those 
 interests. In 1873 he declined a 
 scat in Sir John A. Macdonald's 
 Administration, owing to " Old- 
 Tomoriow's " unsettled ]K)licy on 
 the Man. amnesty and N. B. sch. 
 questions. He also resisted Sir 
 John Macdonald's alleged attacks 
 on the rights of the Provinces, his 
 disallowance of Provl. Acts, and 
 his desire to force a Legislative Un- 
 ion upon Canada. Mr. B. was for 
 some yrs. chairman of the Private 
 Bills Comte. of the Senate, and luis 
 held other important and influential 
 positions. He declined the Speaker-

 on the career of his life— journaliHm. 
 Starting in 1873 as reporter on the 
 Haniilt<>n Standard, a jouinal 
 founded to promote the "9 hour" 
 labour movement, he shortly after 
 joined the staff of the Hamilton 
 Sjif.ctnior as reporter, and, later, 
 , became asst . <>d. In 1875 he went 
 to South Africa, where he was a 
 year and a half on the Natal W{(7irs.i, 
 and three and a half years on the 
 Cape Anjiis, then the leading journal 
 in the colony. While tnere he 
 compiled a "(luide Book of the 
 Cape Colony." Returning to ('an., 
 1880, he was connected with various 
 Ont. newspapers till, in 1883, he 
 move<l to Montreal, where he started 
 the Dom. Dry Goodn Report, the 
 first tra<le journal in the dry goods 
 trade in (^an. This journal after- 
 wards took up the field of te.xtile 
 manufai^turing, to which it is now 
 specially devoted, the name being 
 cnangtiil to the Canadian Journal of 
 Fahrici. In 1885 he brought out 
 the first t<5xtilc directory of (Jan., 
 pp. 218, with a mass of useful statis- 
 tics, not elsewhere obtainable, relat- 
 ing to the textile trades of the 
 Dom. Thre«' editions of tliis work 
 have been publi8he<l, the last being 
 issued in 1892. In 188« he attende«T 
 tlie (^ol. and Ind. Kxbn. in tiondon, 
 and there published a liUle journal 
 called the Canailian Exhihitor, de 
 voted to the interests of the Can. 
 aection of that remarkable display 
 of the pToducts of the Brit. (^"oj. 
 Empire. According to the rules of 
 
 the P^xbn., all (he exhibits required 
 to be the actual products or manu- 
 factures of the colony, an<l Car), was 
 the only country represented which 
 could produce the materials of a 
 newspaj)er. The type, the printing 
 ink, pfiper, press and fittings were 
 all or Can. manufacture, and the 
 Kxhibitor was consetpiently the only 
 paper printed in the " (^olinderies " 
 as an exhibit. In 1889 he compiled 
 a descriptive hand book of the Dom. , 
 entitled "('anada : a Memorial Vol- 
 ume," the b<K)k b(.'ing partly the 
 outcome of his work at the (jolonial 
 Exbn., and containing much infor- 
 mation not accessible elsewhere. In 
 18{ 1 he produced the *' Anecdotal 
 Life of Sir John Macdonald," which 
 was received with unlimited praise 
 l)y the i>re.S8 of both sides of politics. 
 The entire edition of 3,(XK) copies 
 was sohl otF within about 3 mths. 
 In 1893 he started the Canadian 
 Emjineer, devoted to engineering 
 and electricity. Mr. B. has contrib- 
 uted various articles to magazines 
 and encyclopa'dias, and among other

 village of Cairngorm, Ont., Oct. 13, 
 18.33, he was ed. at U. C. Coll. 
 ((jov. (ieid. 's pri/enmn), and at the 
 Univ. of Toronto (B. A., and silver 
 nied. in classics, 1854; M.A., 1858), 
 and was called to the bar, 1856. 
 He entered into practice in the city 
 of Toronto, his first partner being 
 S. M. Jarvis. Later, he and his 
 bro. , Hon. S. H. Blake, founded the 
 firm which bears their name. Mr. 
 Adam records that Mr. B. has re- 
 mained always at the head of this 
 firm, " an<i mainly through his 
 tov/ering ability, it has V>econie the 
 leading legal firm in Can. , and has 
 for yrs. held that conmianding posi- 
 tion." He was created a Q. C. by 
 Viscount Monck, 1864; became a 
 Bencher of the I^aw S )c. , U. C. , 
 1871 ; and Treas. of the Law. Soc., 
 1879. He was for a time one of the

 fene.ation. He had e.irly ewpovifjed 
 the Lil). caiiHe, and v as often im- 
 portuned to enter I'arlt. In the year 
 mentioned he was elected hf>th to tho 
 Ho. of Commons and the Legisla- 
 ture: He was imniediately offered 
 the leadership of his party in the 
 latter bo<iy, but it was not till 1KH9 
 that he eonsenttid to aceept that 
 p<»sition. On the defeat of the 
 Sandtield Macdonald Oovt., Ihm:., 
 1871 (an event largely due to his 
 efforts), Mr. B. was called ujKm to 
 form a new Admn., and succeeded 
 in the tausk. He himself took the 
 offi<;e of Preadt. of the Council with- 
 out salary. On the abolishment of 
 dual representation, some time later, 
 he resigned the Premiership with 
 the view of devoting the whole of 
 his attention td Federal politics, and 
 was succeeded therein by Sir Oliver 
 Mowat, who for 24 yrs. continued to 
 fill that position, being in turn suc- 
 ceeded by the present local Reform 
 leader, Mr. Hardy. Mr. B. may 
 therefore 1)6 regarded as the "Father" 
 of Lib. govt, in his native Provinc«\ 
 In the Ho. of Commons he was 
 urged to accept the leadership, but 
 declined the honour. He was, nev- 
 ertheless, one of the greatest cham- 
 pions in the well -remembered con- 
 test over the Pacific Scan<lal, which 
 resulted in the downfall of Sir John 
 A. Macdonald. When Mr. Macken- 
 zie became Prime Minister of Can., 
 Mr. B. accepted a position in his 
 cabinet, witnout ofhce. He was 
 sworn of the Privy Council, Nov. 7, 
 1873. In Feb., 1874, he resigned 
 owing to ill-health. In May, 1875, 
 he accepted office as Mr. of Justice, 
 and while sutih undertook an official 
 mission to Kng. , touching amend- 
 ments to the law of extradition, etc. 
 He was mainly instrumental in per- 
 fecting the constitution of the Su- 
 preme Ct. of Can. at its establish- 
 ment, and personally selected the 
 judges first apptd. thereto. Aftei' 
 the defeat of tlie Mackenzie (iovt. 
 at the polls, 1878, he was chosen 
 leader of the Lib. party in the Ho. 
 
 of Commons, in place of the ex- 
 Premier, Mho.se health had become 
 impaired by his arduous official 
 lab«»us. He remained in that posi- 
 tion imtil after the g. e. of 1887, 
 when he let.ired anrl was succeeded 
 by Mr. Laurier. Subsecpunt to that 
 event he took no prominent part 
 either in the debates in the House, 
 or in the general woik of his party. 
 At the g. e. 18lM), he iledined re- 
 nomination, and sejit to his con- 
 stituents in West Durham, a fitter, 
 expressing his views of the ••ondition 
 and prospects of the country. This 
 letter was believed to be of t^e 
 greatest importance, Imt it was not 
 publishefl until after the elections. 
 When the letter was made public, it 
 created a genuine sensation, for it 
 not only announced the great lead- 
 er's retirement from political life, but 
 expressed the giavest forebo<lings 
 concerning the future of Can, "The 
 splendid oratory and brilliant genius 
 of Mr. B. ," says Mr. Adam from 
 whose work of biogi'aj)hy we have 
 taken some of the facts heiein, 
 " were keenly missed in Parlt. , and 
 many weie the hopes expressed that 
 he would reconsider his determina- 
 tion, and return to his lightful place 
 as leader of his party." In June, 
 1892, these hopes were dispelled by 
 the acceptance by Mr, B. of an invi- 
 tation extended to him by the lead- 
 ers of the Irish parliamentary party, 
 to accept a seat in tlm Brit, Ho. of 
 Connnons. He landed in Irel, a 
 few weeks previous to the election 
 of 1892, and was received with great 
 cordiality. He stood for the con- 
 stituency of South Longford, being 
 opposed l)y J. H, Miller, in the 
 (Jon, interest. At the close of the 
 
 Soil the vote stood : Hon. E. Blake, 
 L, 2544; J. H. Miller, C, 347. 
 His advent into Imp. politics Mas 
 matle under the most auspicious cir- 
 cumstances, and fully justified the 
 fondest hopes of his friends. At the 
 first dinjier after the election of the 
 Eighty Club, the gre-at IJb. figliting 
 organization, he M'as the guest of the 
 evening, and made a speech, which

 to serve as arbitrator between the 
 New Zealand Gort. and the New

 Ont.,Nov. 4, 1862. and ed. at the 
 St. ThomaM Coll. Inst. She is per- 
 haps better known in the U. S. tlian

 began with the publication of "Cab 
 inet Articles," a series of pen pic- 
 tures, (juaiiit and grave and gay, 
 which apjMiared in various magazines 
 and iiews|mpers. These were too 
 uiii(jue to pass uiinoticwi. "and 
 sue(!eeded," says her biographer, 
 Stanley Waterloo, "in winning for 
 the modest young author a perma- 
 nent place among writers of note, 
 and a firm hold uimjii the hearts of 
 thousands of readers on this conti- 
 nent. She |X)Ssesses that subtle gift 
 which insiues success in her profes- 
 sion, the power to make you hear, 
 see and feel with her. Thus, she 
 writes of a man, and you know him 
 M'ell, his virtues, vices and absurd- 
 ities ; she writes of a child at play, 
 and you hear its laughter ; of a wild 
 bird nesting, and you see the shin- 
 ing head and bost)iii, and catch the 
 smell of leaves ami moss and dew- 
 wet grass." At 17 she wrote "Out 
 of the Depths," a IwKjk of some 
 merit, but decidedly inferior to her 
 later works, Mrs. li's. poems are, 
 
 [XMhaps, her very l)est works, and

 Leach. His connection with this 
 important parish continued, with- 
 out interruption, for HO yrs., first as 
 asst., ami afterwards, from 1860 un- 
 til his elevation to th(! Episcopate, 
 as rector. It is said that he ha«l no

 occupant of the Episcopal bench, 
 became ipso/cu'to Metropolitan. It 
 should be a<lded that his Lordship 
 was for some yrs. chaplain of the 1st

 BOOTH, John Budolphus, lumber 
 merchant and railway promoter, 
 wash, at Waterloo, P.Q., 1826, anrl 
 ed. there. Moving to Ottawa, 1857, 
 he saw the great possibilities of the 
 Chaudiere with its vast water power. 
 He built a small shingle mill on the 
 site of what was afterwards known 
 as Booth's mammoth lumb«!r mill. 
 In time he Iwicami^ ont? of the largest 
 limit owners ni Can., as well as one 
 of the most extensive mainifacturers 
 of lumber. He controlled 640,000 
 acres of timber, and cut an 
 muiUy at Is mills from 2o,0<M)- 
 000 to 30,(XX),000 feet of lumber. 
 As an illustration of his foresight, 
 the Ottawa .JonrnaJ has related that 
 during the prevalenee of hard times 
 in 1874 76, when other lumber mer- 
 chants, thinking the bottom ha*! 
 dropped out of the market and 
 things were going to rcn'.ain in that 
 conditi(>n, were disposing of their 
 limits by auction, Mr. Il was always 
 on han(l to bid for them. ' ' He had 
 faith in the country," adds the J<y\ir- 
 }ia/, '* while they had :,ut, and now 
 
 these limits are worth five times the 
 amount he paid for then>, and this, 
 too, after he has cut all the logs off 
 them he required for his business." 
 Owing to files in his mills and yards, 
 Mr. H. has now almost entirely closed 
 his lumber business at Ottawa, and 
 is devoting nui(;h of his time to ry. 
 construction and development. One 
 of his first works in this direction 
 was the buihling of a short line in 
 the Temiscamingue region, where he 
 was also a promo'sr of the Temis- 
 camingue Steamboat Co. In 1881 
 he threw himself into the work of 
 building the (,'an. Atlantic road, 
 connecting Ottawa directly with 
 Montreal and the New Eng. States, 
 Since then he has taken Mp the Ot- 
 tawa, Amprior and Parry Sound 
 Ry. scheme, and has carried it 
 to completion as far as (Jeorgian 
 Bay. Of this scheme the Toronto 
 Globe says ; " It is a part of one of the 
 biggest enterprises which any pri- 
 vate individual over underttKik on 
 this continent. Mr. B. aims at no less 
 ♦^Iian making the O.A. and P. S. Ry. 
 the greatest avenue to the sea 
 of the North-western States and 
 North west of Can. To this 
 en<l the mere laying of the 
 iron between Ottawa and the 
 Georgian Bay, gigantic; as the task 
 was, is but a beginning. There are 
 elevators to be built, there are steam- 
 ships to be put on the lakes, agencies 
 have to be established to divert 
 trade into the new route ; in short, 
 Mr. B. has to reach out all over the 
 great lakes to make their business 
 t ibutary to the Parry Sojmd road. 
 He is aiming at that, an<l will accom- 
 plish it if he lives long enough." In 
 cormection with this scheme he pro- 
 poses establishing a sanitarium for 
 consul iptives in .Aljjoncjuin Park. 
 Mr. B. is Presdt. of both the ('an. 
 Atlantic and e Parry Soiuid Ry. 
 Cos. In Jan., 1897, he rereivod 
 from the Ottawa Bd. of Trade an 
 expression of the appreeiation and 
 gratitude of his fellow-countrynicn 
 for the energy and enterpri-^e <lis- 
 playefi by him in the construction of 
 I thdt latter road. In religion, ho is a

 He then entered Toronto Univ.,

 tific attainments: "Prof. C. is an 
 indefatigable student. His private 
 studies are chiefly in the line of his- 
 tory, ethnol. and philology, includ- 
 ing palaeography. And not only 
 has ho distinguished himself, but wo 
 may affirm with all safety that he 
 has few, if any, who are his supe- 
 riors in these departments. Al- 
 though much of his time outside of 
 class work is occupied with these 
 .subjects, his students suflFor no loss 
 thereby ; the rather are their inter- 
 ests advanced, as his studies bear 
 directly upon the subjects which he 
 teaches. The results of his labor 
 have been given to the public chiefly 
 in the form of a large number of a-- 
 tides contributed, from time to

 of the latest of his public addresses 
 was on the subject of •' The Perfect

 was in reference to certain state-

 Prof. C. was tried for heresy before 
 the Presb. of Montreal, 1§93, and 
 
 condemned by a majority vote. His

 Assembly, g. e. 1863, and continued 
 to sit for that constituency until the 
 Union of 1867. Under the B. N. A. 
 Act Lennox and Addington was 
 divided into two constitucncien, and 
 from 1867 to 1878 Mr. C. sat for 
 Lennox. Being then defeated, he 
 was returned for Centre Huron, 
 which he represented up to the close 
 of the Parlt. He was then elected 
 for South Huion. Since the g. e. of 
 1887 he has sat for South Oxford. 
 He belongs to one of the old Tory 
 families of U. C '. , and in the early 
 days of his public life gave an ind. 
 support to Sir John Macdonald. 
 Since the perioti of the " Pacific 
 Scandal " he has acted with and 
 Iteen a mem. of the Reform party. 
 On the resignation of the Macdonald 
 Admn., Nov., 1873, he bocam^i Fi- 
 nance Minister in the cabinet then 
 lornied by Mr. Mackenzie, and con- 
 tinued in that ofHce up to the defeat 
 of the (Jovt., Sept., 1878. Subse- 
 quently, while in opposition, he be- 
 came the chief spokesman for his 
 party on all fiscal subjects, and de- 
 veloped in debate powers of oratory 
 superior to all the public men of his 
 time, save only the Hon. William 
 Macdougall. His speech in second- 
 ing the vote of thanks to the volun- 
 teers who luul served in the N. -W. 
 rebellion, 1885, is regarded as one of 
 the masterpieces of Can. parliament- 
 ary eloquence. On Sir W. Laurier's 
 accession to power, July, 1896, Sir 
 Richard (he was created a K.C.M.G., 
 1879) became Mr. of Trade and C'om- 
 meree in the new Govt. , and as such 
 was engaged for some months in 
 framing a new fiscal policy for the 
 Dom. In Feb., 1897, he undertook, 
 with Sir L. H. Davies, a trade mis-

 hold that seat up to the present

 ous part in all tlie more important 
 debates, and is now regarde(i as one 
 of the most practised speakers in 
 I'arlt. During the Mackenzie r^- 
 (jime he was chief Govt, "whip," 
 and was succeeded in that otfice Vjy 
 . the late Jas. Trow. In 1875 he 
 began agitating for the reform of the 
 Civil Service on Brit, lines, and in 
 1877 was chairman of a comte. , 
 which reported in favor of competi- 
 tion and promotion for merit. Sir 
 John Macdonald's Comn. , 1881, ac- 
 knowle<lged the work of this comte. 
 and approved and extende<l its find- 
 ings. Unfortunately the thirst for 
 patronage prevented the adoption 
 of much beyond the improved en 
 trance examinatiim. Mr. C. held 
 that the indoor service should be 
 manage<l on business principles by a 
 non-political comn., as in hng., and 
 
 introduced a bill outlining his views. 
 The general principle involved was 
 eiulorsed by the Lib. jjarty in the 
 Ho. of Commons, on a motion by 
 him a few years ago. In 1897 'te 
 introduced a bill to compel ry. com- 
 
 fianies to carry bicycles as l>agga^e

 Proceeding to Southern ('al., 1881, 
 he with his bro. , William Benjamin 
 Chaffey, founded the colonies of 
 Etiwanda, Riverside and Ontario, 
 in .San Bernardino (jo., in that 
 country, which have had each a pros- 
 perous history. Before San Fran- 
 cisco hati emerged from its gas and 
 coal-oil age, the first-named town 
 was brilliantly illuminated by elec- 
 tric lights, private telephone lines 
 were crocte<l, and many miles of 
 cement pipe lai<l. Ontario, which is 
 regarded as the mo<lel colony on the 
 Pacific slope, was suyjplied with 
 water, by tunnelling thousands of 
 feet into the mts. An agricul. 
 coll. was likewise established, and 
 endowed with land valued at 
 £20, (XM). The success attending this 
 new system of irrigation led the 
 fjovt. of Victoria, Australia, to 
 invite the Chaffey Bros., to visit 
 that colony, with the object of found- 
 ing similai- settlements there. They 
 accordingly proceeded to Australia, 
 1 886, and secured from the (^ovts. of 
 Victoria and South Australia the 
 sites for two irrigation colonics on 
 the baitks of the Murray, the com- 
 bined area totalling .ROCOCO acres.

 CHAELTON, John, statesman, 
 bro. of the prece<fing, was b. at 
 '• Wheatlands," near Caledonia, 
 N. Y. , Feb. 3, 1829. Ed. at the Mc- 
 Laren Grammar Sch., of Caledonia, 
 and at Springville Acad., N.Y., he 
 spent one year as a dk. in a country 
 store in Ellicottville, N.Y., after- 
 wards read law, and also tried his 
 hand at newspaper work in the same 
 place. Removing to Can. with his 
 pai'ents, 1849, he gave himself up to 
 farm life for a time, working for 4 
 yrs. <m his father's farm, near the 
 village of Ayr, Tp. of Dumfries. In 
 1853 he went to Lynedoch, where he 
 opened a gerd. country store, in 
 company with Geo. (Jray. in 1859 
 ho was placed in charge of the Can. 
 business of the exttinsive lumber 
 firm of Smith & Westover, of I'oua- 
 
 wanda, N.Y., and in 1861 he em- 
 barked in the same business on his 
 own account. In this business, in 
 which he is still actively engaged, 
 he has been successful, and he is now 
 counted one of the "lumber princes" 
 of the province. A Lib. in politics, 
 he was returned in that interest to 
 sit for North Norfolk in the Ho. of 
 Commons, at the g. e. 1872. He 
 has continuefl to hold the. seat up to 
 the present time, his majority at the 
 last g. e. over Wm. MtGuire, his 
 Con. opponent, being 544. Mr. C. 
 has not always been in complete 
 accord with his party. He advised 
 an increase of duties, in 1876, from 
 17i to 20 or 22 per cent, to provide 
 for deficiency in revenue and to 
 satisfy the demands of the protec- 
 tionist element of the Lib. party. 
 He voted against his party leader 
 and with the Macdonald (Jovt. on 
 the Riel question, and lie was one of 
 the " Noble 13 " who supported Col. 
 O'Brien's resolution in opiK)sition to 
 the Jesuit Estates bill. He is prob- 
 ably best known as a public num as 
 the promoter of moral legislation. 
 For many yrs. he wrought in Parlt. 
 for the passage of a law affording 
 protection to women and girls, and 
 at last succeeded in securing the 
 adoption of "The Charlton Act," 
 which made the seduction of a girl 
 under 16 yrs. of age a penal oflence ; 
 the setiuction of a girl between the 
 age of 16 and 18 under promise of 
 marriage, a penal offence ; and which 
 provided other salutary safeguards 
 on the same lines. He also took up 
 the subject of the better observance 
 of the Lord's Day, believing that 
 while the law cannot properly re- 
 quire men to go to ch. or obey divine 
 commands in respect to religious 
 observances, it can and should pro- 
 vide that men should be secured in 
 the right to go to ch. , and have 
 respect Uiv religious duties if they 
 desire to do so, and that any legis- 
 lation calculated to secure rights of 
 conscience and religious liberty is 
 not oidy jjroper but oesirable. After 
 three sessions, his bill, with many 
 modifications, was adoptetl in the

 intellectual interests of the people, 
 and take measures to secure the 
 stability of its institutions hy put- 
 ting influences into operation that 
 will improve the ni<jral standard 
 and the general character of its 
 citizens. Among the provisions of 
 the bill is one prohibiting the publi- 
 cation and sals of Sunday papei-s. 
 He was one of the founders of the 
 Dom. Lord's Day Alliance, having 
 for its puri)08e the securing of the 
 better observance of the Lord's Day, 
 organized in 1888, and held office 
 therein as V.-P., and he has repeat- 
 edly received tlio thanks of various 
 ch. authorities for his efforts to pro- 
 mote the aims and objects of that 
 important body. Mr. C. has great 
 faith in the future of his adopted 
 countiy, and aims to make of it a 
 mo<lel Christian nation. In a speech 
 lately delivered in Toronto he called 
 upon his auditors to assist in the 
 work of laying the foundation of 
 Canada's welfare in justice, and to 
 build up the superstructure in hrm- 
 esty and truth ; to believe in its 
 possibilities and labour for its future, 
 and to conseei-ate the high privileges 
 of citizenship to the cause of patriot- 
 isnj, to enmity of political baseness 
 and corruption, and to lofty and 
 pure political ideals. He believes 
 that our position on the Am. con- 
 tinent renders the cultivation of 
 friendly j^olitical and commercial 
 relations with the U. 8. of prime 
 importance, not only to ourselves 
 but to Gt. Brit, as well. He is in 
 favour of the reduction of custom 
 dutii - to the lowest point consistent 
 with securing revenue for necessary 
 requirements ; of the Govt, being 
 economically administered ; and he 
 believes that extensive njciprocity 
 of trade with the U. S. , whereby 
 
 the free admission of our natural 
 products into the markets of that 
 country c<mld be securo«l, would 
 greatly benefit the agricultural, min- 
 ing and lumlHiring interests of Can., 
 and make this countiy a participa:it 
 in the numberless advantages con- 
 ferred upon the various States of 
 the Am. Union by the system of 
 absolute free trade that oxistj l)e- 
 tween those commonwealths. He 
 also favours strict regard on the 
 jjart of the Dom. Govt, for provl. 
 rights and provl. autonomy, and a 
 careful avoidance of interference 
 with provl. legi.slation enacted with- 
 in the limits of the constitutional 
 rights of the Province. He was 
 apptd. chairman of the Ont. Royal 
 Mining Comn., 1888, and in the 
 prosecution of liis duties as such he 
 visited the mineral regions of Ont., 
 as well as the j)rincipal mining 
 centres of the U. S. He again 
 visite<l the U. S. early in 1897 for 
 the purpose of sounding public 
 opinion at Washington regarding 
 more extended trade relations !«;- 
 tween the two countries, and of 
 seeking to impress Am. statesmen 
 with the advantages that a reCipi'o- 
 city treaty, based upon fair and 
 equitable conditions, would confer 
 upon both countries. He is a news- 
 paper and mag. writer of extensive 
 expei'iencc, and is the author of 
 many popular lectures on political, 
 literary and historical subjects. In 
 religious faith, he is an arlherent of 
 the Presb. Ch., and in 1896 was 
 .sent as a del. from Can. to the Pan- 
 Presb. Conf. , sitting at Glasgow.

 believe in the principle of protection. 
 He holds that foreign markets, par- 
 ticularly the nearest to hand, are 
 necessary for the prosperity and 
 progress of the farmers, who are 
 the main wealth producers of 
 Can. He believes that as long 
 
 as Can. remains a colony, and 
 
 is regnrd«'<l as snch by Europeans, 
 
 the now of immigratiim wdl be 
 
 .slow and small, as it has iMjen in 
 
 the pa.st, notwithstanding the many 
 
 nnllions spent to encourage it. VVe 
 
 have the game of indejiendonco, but 
 
 we want the nanu* of a free country 
 
 to make Can. attractive to European 
 
 immigrants, as well as progrtissivo 
 
 to her (jwn people. He believes it 
 
 is criminal to intnKluce questions 
 
 of race and (treed into public affairs 
 
 and to attempt legislation or a<imin- 
 
 i istiatif)n according to racial and 
 
 i religious prejudices or ignorance.

 COCHRANE, Hon. Matthew Henry,

 of the late Jas. Cochrane, who came 
 to Can., from the north of Irel., and 
 was for many yrs. ameichant, farmer 
 and cattle-fcreeder in the Province 
 
 of Quebec. R. in Compton, P.Q., 
 Nov. 11, 182.3, he devoted himself in 
 early life to farming, but at IM went 
 to Boston, where he embarked in the 
 leather business. Returning to Can., 
 I8.'»4, he laid the foundation of the 
 busincrts, s\ibsc(jiu'ntly carried on by 
 (Vu'hrane, (Jassils h, ('o., Montreal, 
 whii^h now furnishes employment to 
 over 'MJO hands, and does business 
 as boot and shoe numfra. to the 
 e.xtent of half a million dollars a year. 
 It is, however, as a successful 
 breeder of improved grades of cattle, 
 that Mr. C. has become best known. 
 In this respect it may lie said his 
 reputation has grown to be world- 
 wide. At the pericxl when he began 
 his enterprise in Compton, 18(54, 
 little hud l)een accomplished in stock- 
 raising in the Province of t^uebec. 
 He was the i)ioneer in that field of 
 i industry, ami everything that has 
 I since been achieved, it is felt, is due 
 j to him. He set out determined on 
 ! securing the best specimens of short- 
 ] horns that money could puichaso 
 from leading cattle breedei's in 
 I Britain. Commencing, 1867, with 
 I the purchase of the famous cow 
 ! " Rosedale " - an animal that had 
 I no })eer in the Kng. prize-rings— he 
 j also imported a choice lot of South- 
 I down, Cotswold, Leicester and 
 I Lincoln sheep, together with a 
 j number of Sutlblk liorses and Rerk- 
 I shire pigs. " Rosedale " was crossed 
 I with the nth " Duke of Thorn- 
 : dale," imported at a cost of .$3,(X)(t, 
 1 and their first (^If, a heifer, was sold 
 ' to an Illinois stock-breeder for 
 j $3,50<). The next year Mr. (1 paid 
 I 1,000 guineas for another cow, 
 I '* Duchess 97th," belonging to the 
 ; noted VVetherly herd, which was 
 ! the highest pru-e ever paid for a 
 female short-horn up to that time. 
 In 1870, he gave a further proof of 
 his enterprise and public spirit, by 
 bringing into Can., no less than 40 
 head of short-horns, which together 
 with 20 more, a flock of Cotswold 
 sheep and some Berkshire pigs, cost 
 in the aggregate $60,000. He has

 extensive boot and shoe factory, 
 bearing the latter's name, since ex- 
 isting in Quebec. Later, liis atten- 
 tion neing drawn to the sixjcial ad- 
 vantages possessed in this direction 
 by the city of St. Hyacinthe, led to 
 his erecting there the Ixxit and shoe 
 manufactory and other works, which

 siderable talent as an origin«ior,

 He received his earlier education at

 Bruce, aftei-wards (iovt. Inspr. of 
 Schls., P.Q. He obtained his pro- 
 fessional education at McGiU Univ., 
 Montreal, beginning 1850, and 
 graduating, with the higliest hon- 
 ours of his year, I8r)4. From the 
 Univ., Dr. (;. went directly to the 
 Montreal (Jenl. Hospital, as Houso 
 Surg., among his first experiences 
 being his attendance upon the large 
 number of patients aamitted with 
 Asiatic cholera during the epidemic 
 of that year. He hatl the satiafac-

 'Ireda of patients were receivi'd into j 
 the Hospital, suft'ering from Asiati* i 
 cholera, with thu usxial large per- 
 (•cntage of (leathH, the diaeaHi) 
 was not allowed to spread in a 
 single instance, to any of the other i 
 patients or inmates. In 1856, his '■ 
 oHi<!ial connection with McGiU Univ. 
 as a teacher hegan, when he was 
 made Demonstrator of Anatomy with 
 entire charge of Practical Anatomy, 
 then a se))arate dept. with a single 
 demonstrator ; a [)osition which lie 
 retained until 18W). In 1859 he 
 also becanje Curat/jr of the Mu- 
 seum. In 1860 he resigned tlie 
 House 8urg»'oncy of the Hospital, 
 and was made a mem. of its Med. 
 Bd., beginiiing at the same time 
 the private practice of his profes- 
 sion. In the same year he became 
 Prof, of Cliuical Surgery, contiru 
 ing in that chair luitil 1867, making 
 a name for himself in the resection 
 of joints, and as a successful ovari- 
 otomist, at a time when success 
 in suiih o])erations was a rare event 
 in this country. In 1866, owing 
 to the illness of Prof. Sutherland, 
 Dr. C. was asked to undertake, at 
 a few weeks' notice, the work of 
 the chair of Chemistiy, a task 
 which, though arduous, he was able 
 to carry through with siux-ess ; and 
 finding the teaching of chemistry 
 move to his taste than that of sur- 
 gery, he was apptd. to the chair of 
 Chemistry, on the permanent retire- 
 ment of Dr. Sutherland, in 1867, 
 continuing in it until 1879. In 1869, 
 in a<ldition to ins other duties, he 
 became Regr. of tlie Faculty, the 
 onerous work of which otlice he con- 
 tinued to perform until relieved Ijy 
 Prof. Osier, 1877. In 1875 also he 
 succeeded the lat(! Prof. (i. W. 
 Campbell as Treas. of the Fa<ulty. 
 In 1879, Dr. C. resigned the (ihair 
 of Chemistry, becoming Emeritus 
 Prof., but contiiniing his duties as 
 Treas., and his active interest in all 
 the alfairs of the Faculty, including 
 its representation on the Provl. 
 Med. Bd,, an<l hi other ways. Dr. 
 C. became Dean of the Faculty in 
 
 1889, aftei' the death of the late 
 De.an, the much lamented Dr. R. 
 Palmer Howar<l, and has <'ontinued 
 in that otlice up to the present time. 
 In the same year he also becanui 
 Pnjf. of Hygiejie and P\]l>lic Health, 
 and was named by the Quebec Govt, 
 a mem. of its Provl. Bd. of Health. 
 During his administration as Dean 
 many and important clianges have 
 occimed in the Faculty, an<l its 
 progress has been phenomenal. A 
 chair of Path, has been created, and 
 a prof. brougi\t from Eng. to fill it. 
 The med. buildings have been practi- 
 cally doubled in size, and equipped 
 in a manner second to non«' on the 
 Am. continent. The length of the 
 session has been increased to nine 
 calendar months ; the fees from the 
 students have been increased and 
 consolidated ; the number of profes- 
 sors and teachers has been nearly 
 doubled, and, thanks to the miuiifi- 
 (ience of Sir D. A. Smith, the lato 
 John H. R. Molson, and other 
 friends of the Faciulty, endowments 
 amounting in the aggregate to up- 
 wards of $184,000 have oeen added 
 to its capital. During the same 
 period also ihe Royal Victoria Hos- 
 I pital has been erected and opened for 
 ! the reception of patients ; and the 
 j Montreal Genl. Hospital has lieen 
 ! i-em(xlelled and practically rebuilt. 
 j With all of these changes Dr. C. has 
 been more or less actively identified, 
 ! and, notwithstanding the increased 
 I tax upon the students both in time 
 and money, the gratifying result is 
 I to be seen in the great increase in 
 j thei' number, from 2,S3, in 1889, to 
 14 (1 1896. In 1 896 he was apptd. 
 Jonsulting Physician to the Royal

 CTJHBIE, Rev. Walter Thomas 
 (Cong.), was b. in Toronto, and re- 
 ceived his ed. at McGill (^oll. (B.A., 
 1885). Ordained to the ministry, 
 1885, he was the first mission, sent 
 out to Africa by the Can. Cong. 
 Foreign Miss. Soc. In Sept., 1888, 
 he established the mission sta :ion at 
 Cisambra, Bihe, West Central Afri- 
 ca. Here he remained alone until 
 1889, wlien he was joined by the 
 Rev. Will>erfoi'<!e Lee. The mission 
 has a sch. for young people, which is 
 well attended, and there is a large 
 attendance at the preaching services 
 on Sunday. Cisambra is in Portu- 
 guese territory, and a military force 
 having been sent thither to punish 
 the authors of an alleged rebellion, 
 Mr. C. acted as arbitrator, and 
 secured peace, winch rai.sed him in 
 the estimation of the natives, with 
 whom he has since had great influ- 
 ence. His letters, descriptive of his i 
 explorations and journeys, have ' 
 been published in book form (Mont., '

 CT7BZ0N, ¥n. Sarah An^e, an- j 
 thor, was b. near Biriuiugham, \ 
 Eng., 1833, and with the exception i 
 
 of three or four yrs. spent at a girl's 
 sch., at Birmingham, refreived the 
 usual education given at ladies' 
 schs. , taking languages and music 
 from private tutors. In addition, 
 she owes much intellectual aid to 
 her parents. M. 1858, to Robt. 
 Curzon, of Norfolk (now deceased), 
 she came with him to Can., 1862, 
 and has since resided in Toronto. 
 In early yrs. she wrote little stories 
 and hymns for the home circle, and 
 sent various competitive* pieces, in 
 prose and verse, to tlu; popular 
 family periodicals of the day. On 
 the founding (jf the Can. Motithiy, 
 by Prof. (Johlwin Smith 1872, her 
 attention was drawn t') <'an. Lit- 
 erature, and she contributed to that 
 mag. several papers of a simple 
 character, as also a little vc..:-i. 
 Later, becoming deeply interested 
 in the status of woman, she took up 
 the question of a woman's right to 
 all Coll. and Univ. privileges in Arts, 
 Science and Med., and as a mem. of 
 the then Toronto Woman's Literary 
 Club, contributed industricnisly to 
 the discussions thereon in the daily 
 press She was also a strong a*lvo- 
 cate of Woman Suffrage, writing in 
 support of it in Cc'in. , Eng. and Am. 
 newspapers, and editing a wonuin's 
 page on the same lines in \\\eCana<la 
 Citizen (Toronto). For two yrs. she 
 was sub. ed. of that paper. Not 
 finding it convenient to assume 
 regular press duties, Mrs. C.'s lit- 
 erai-y woik has continued in its old 
 form of occasional contributions of 
 fiction, essay and verse to peritKli- 
 cals of high standing published in 
 Can. , among them being The Week, 
 The Dnm. lUuKtrated, Crip, The 
 EiHiny. Churrhman, The Can. May. 
 Her pen, however, has always been 
 at the service of the publi<\ and she 
 has consequently done a goo<l deal 
 of unclassified writing. In 1887, 
 she brought out " Laura Secord. 
 the Heroine of 1812,'" a drama, il- 
 lustrating a striking episode in Can. 
 history. This book aroused a very 
 general feeling of interest in all the 
 events of the campaign of 1812 14, 
 and led to the formation of several

 DAWSON, George Mercer, ge(do- 
 gisL, dir. of tlie Can. Ceol. Survey, 
 is the eldest surviving a. of Sir J. W. 
 Dawson (7./'.), and was h. in Pic- 
 tou, N.S., Aug. I, 1849. He re- 
 ceived his early education in Mont- 
 real, where lie studied in McGill 
 Univ. as a partial student. In 1 8f)9 
 he entered the Royal Sch. of Mines, 
 London, taking its full cour.se of 
 study, extending over 3 yrs., and 
 passed as an associate, being first in 
 hi.s class, and taking the Edward 
 Forbes medal and prize in Ptiljeont. 
 and Natural History. He had pre- 
 viously taken tlie Dukeof Coi'nwall's 
 .soholarahi]) in his second year Re- 
 turning to Can., he was engaged for 
 a year in mining surveys m N. S., 
 and in lecturing in Morrin Coll., 
 Qiu'bec. In 187.3 he was apptd. 
 Geologist and Botanist to H. M.'s 
 North American Houndary Coniii., 
 engaged in fixing the boundary line 
 from ihe Ijake of the Woods to the 
 Rocky Mta. In this capacity he 
 served for 2 yrs., and jHeparod an 
 elaborate rej>ort, with plates and 
 maps, (jn tlie (^eol. and Resources of 
 the Country in the vicinity of the 
 49th parallel. In coimection with 
 this work he also prepared a re])ort 
 on the Lignite Tertiary Foinuition, 
 a memoir on the Superhcial DepusitSi 
 
 of the (ireat Interior Plains of Am,, 
 and papers on the locust Visitation, 
 on the Fresh-water Sjionges of Can., 
 and on the Fluctuations of the (ireat 
 Am. Lakes. On the termination of 
 his labours on the bimndary survey, 
 he was apptd., July, 1875, to the 
 sttiflfof theGeol. Survey of the Dorn. 
 He became Asst. Dir. July, 1883, and 
 Dir. and Depty. Head of the Dent, 
 of the Geol. Survey, Jan. 1, 1895. 
 While attending the Sch. of Mines, 
 he devoted special attention to(j!eol. 
 and Palteont. , under the tuition of 
 Ramsay, Huxley and Etheridge ; and 
 to Chemistry and Metal., in the 
 laboratories of Frankland and Percy. 
 His work on the Geol, Survev has 
 I been chiefly in B. C. and the N, VV. T. , 
 and in the discharge of his oHicial 
 duty he has exploied a large portion 
 of the western country, including a 
 I boat journey of i,.30(> miles, witlione 
 portage of b() miles, from the basin 
 I of the Liard River to that of the 
 I Yukon. One of the moat important 
 j of his public services was in connec 
 I tion with the Behring .Sea arbitra- 
 tion. As one of the lirit. Comnrs. , 
 he spent the summer of 1892 in the 
 I Behring Sea region, for the jmrpo.se 
 I of inquiring into the conditions and 
 I facts of seal life. The report of the 
 1 (,'omnrs. constituted the case of Hei 
 i Majesty's Govt, on this branch <>f 
 I the subject, and was of great service. 
 i For ilia services on this occasion he 
 I received the thanks of H. E. tlie 
 j (tov. -Genl. in Council, and the 
 I C.M.G. from Her Majesty. In addi- 
 tion to his oiricial reports, he is the 
 autlior of a large number' of notes and 
 paper's on geol. , geogiaph, and etlinol. 
 subjects, of which a list is given in 
 the " Bibliograpiiy of the Royal

 DAWSON, Sir John WilUam, edu- 
 cationist, geologist and naturaliHt, 
 ia the s. oi the late Jas. Dawson, 
 of Piotou, N.8., and was b. at that 
 I)lace, Oct. 13, 1820. At the age of 
 12 yrs. the instinct for science, in- 
 herited from his father, harl begun 
 to assert itself, and he began making 
 a collection of the fossil plants of 
 the N. S. coal formation. His educa- 
 tion was begim at Pictou Acad, and 
 completed at the Univ. of Edin 
 burgh. After a winter spent at the 
 latter institution, he aoi:onipanied 
 Sir Charles Lyell on his tour through 
 N. S., finished his collegiate course 
 in 1846, and returned home, luiving 
 already contributed something of 
 importance to the geol. knowledge 
 of his province. In ISoO he was 
 apptd Supt. of Education for N. 8. , 
 an office which he held for ,3 yrs. 
 He had already made himself promi 
 iicnt by tiic pidilicatioii of many 
 papers, reports and lectures, on i\ 
 variety oi subjects, characterized 
 by original and valuable lesearch. 
 K 'om this time he became chiefly 
 distinguished in In.'' own province 
 I a an indefatigable promoter of edu- 
 cational progress, and a founder of 
 educational institutions. He took 
 an active part in tlie C'^tablishment 
 of a Normal Sch. in N. S. , and in 
 the regulation of tlie affairs of tiie 
 Univ. of N. B. About 1852 he re- 
 examined in company with Sii' CliaiJ. 
 Lyell the Joggina section, and visited 
 llie Albertite deposits at Hillsbor 
 ough, N.H. He published after Ids 
 trip papers on the " Structures ](• 
 Coal" and the " Mode of Accumu 
 lalion of Coal." A few yrs. after 
 
 this, Mc(»ill Univ. was looking for a 
 head, and Dr. l>. was secured as 
 rrinci])al aii<l Prof, of Xatural His- 
 torv. He took up his ta.sk in KSor), 
 and saw the institution grow slowly 
 but surely, from small beginnings to 
 its pre.sent import^aiit position as a 
 Univ. among the great seats of 
 learning in Am. and Europe. It 
 has been stated that when he to(>k 
 charge, the Coll. management was 
 at the lowest. The Arts .ind Law 
 courses were higlily unsiitisfactory, 
 but in a short time there was a great 
 change for the better. Enterprising 
 and influential men of means ai<led 
 him in his t'*l'ortH, with the result 
 already de.scjibed. At the time of 
 his appt. as Principal of Mctiill, one 
 of the great drawbacks to the success 
 of the Univ. was the want of etticient 
 and superior sclis. to prejiare pupils 
 for matriculation. To meet tins, 
 he secured, in 1857, the establish 
 ment of the McGill Normal Sch., for 
 the training of Prot. sch. teachers. 
 He became Principal of the sch. and 
 laboured in that position with success 
 for VA yrs. He also succeeded in 
 1858 in establishing a Sch. of Civil 
 Engineering, [.later, this branch of 
 science was placed on a more com 
 prehensive basis as the Dept. of 
 Practical and Applied Science in the 
 Univ. His reputation in the scien- 
 tific world rests mainly on his geol. 
 investigations and disi;overiea, more 
 espeijially in relaticjii to the carboni- 
 ferous and post-pliocene formations, 
 to fossil plants and the fossils of the 
 Laurentian rocks. (hi the'sc sub 
 jects he has written a number of 
 memoiis, to be fouiul in the pro- 
 ceedings of the various learned socs. , 
 in s<."ientific journals, and in official 
 rejiorts to Govt. He is tlie autlior of 
 a number of standard works, cover- 
 ing a large field of .scientific investi- 
 gation and elucidation. In 184' 
 he contributed to the Wernerian 
 Soc. of Edinburgh hi.-< first scien- 
 tific paper, on the species (tf field- 
 ndce found in N. S. In 1843 he 
 communicated a paner on the rocks 
 of Eastern N. S. to the («eol. Soc. 
 of London ; followed in 1844 by

 another jjapur on the newer coal 
 formation. In 1845, he publiHhecl a 
 paper on tlic ooal formation plant.s 
 of N. iS., and ♦•xplored the London - 
 deny mines. During the winter of 
 184(5-7, wiiik- :)tiidying in Edin- 
 burgh, lie eontiib\ited papers to the 
 Royal Soi:. of that citv on the 
 " Of(;urrence of (Jyjwum ' and on 
 the " Boulder Formation," and an 
 article to James<m'.s iiV//«/)?ov//; Phil. 
 Journal on the " Renewal of For- 
 eHt.s Destroyed b}' Fire." The most 
 important of his other memoirs are : 
 "On the Triassie Red Sandstime 
 of N. S. and P. E. I.," "On the 
 Colouring Matters f)f Red Sand 
 stone, " and on "The Metamorphic 
 Rocks of N. S." It was duruig 
 his trip to the J(»ggins with Sir 
 Chas. Lyell that the remains of 
 Deiulrn'peton Aratlimnim and I'npa 
 vctiuitn were found, the foi'mer the 
 first reptile found in the coal for- 
 mation, and the latter the lirst 
 known paliwozoic land snail. These 
 were followed by other discoveries 
 of the first carboniferous millipede. 
 During the summer of 1858 he made 
 a toui- of I^ike Supeiior, and nuule 
 an elaborate report on the copj)er 
 regions of (Georgian Bay and Mai- 
 man.se, in which he discussed the 
 geol. relations of the then little 
 known copper bearing Tocks of tlie 
 north shore oi I^ake Superior, and 
 the origin of deposits uf native cop- 
 per. About 1800, lie enlarged and 
 revised his book on " Acadian Oeol- 
 ogy," which is a complete account 
 up to date of the geol. formation 
 of the maritime provinces of the 
 Dom. A second edition, published 
 in 1868, and illustrated, .still re- 
 mains a standard work in geol. for 
 this part of the Dom. Some A 
 yrs. later appeared "Archaia, or 
 Studies of Creation in (Jenesis,' in 
 which the author siiows himself to 
 be not only an accurate scientist, 
 but a profound and reverent student 
 of the Bible. This wo) ... was after- 
 ward re-written and modernized, 
 and published in 1877, under the 
 title of " The Origin of the World." 
 In 1803 he ir.iblished "Air Breath- 
 
 ers of the GotX PeritHl"~the col- 
 lected result of niiiny years' study 
 devoted to the fossil reptiles and 
 othei land animals uf the coal of 
 j N. vS. A year later he; discovered 
 j the now celebrated " JSozooii Can- 
 iadeiuie" — the only animal remains 
 j in the Laurentian rocks, which 
 had hitherto been considered azoic. 
 I In 1805 Dr. I). Icctureci before the 
 j Brit. Assn. at Birmingham; and in 
 j 1870 before the Royal Inst, and 
 i Get)l. Soc. In the latter year ap- 
 peared " Hand Book of Canadian 
 [Zoology"; and in 1872 "Notes on 
 I the Post-Plioccnc of Canada," which 
 j rai.sed the number of species of 
 , known post pliocene fossils from .30 
 I to over 200. In the meantime he 
 I had lieen contirnially occupied in 
 I the management of his Univ. ami 
 i of the I'rot. Normal Sch. , both re- 
 j quiring his constant attention and 
 the best of his laliour, not only as a 
 I princi]tal, but as a lecturer. In 
 1870 he withdrew from his active 
 ! duties in the Normal Sch., still, 
 i however, remaining chairman of its 
 j managing comtt;. His later works 
 have neen <if a general and «t>in 
 j prehensive character and very valu 
 able. "The Story of Earth and 
 j Man '' is a popular view of the 
 [whole of the geol. ages; "Science 
 I of the Bible" and "The l>awn of 
 1 Life," an illustrated work on Eozoon 
 I and otiier ancient fossils, " The 
 Chain of Life," "The Origin of the 
 I VVurhl," "Salient Points in the 
 ! Science of the Earth," " Science in 
 ; Bible Lands," " The Meeting Place 
 ; of Geology and History," " Tiie 
 j Historical Deluge," " Eden L<ist and 
 ! Won," and " Ethics of Primeval 
 Life," are all of them profound and 
 interesting works, open to the* 
 general reader as much as to the 
 scientist. In 1881 he was awarded 
 the Lyell medal of tlu* (Jeol. Soc, 
 London, for original geol. researches. 
 On the formation of the Royal Soc.

 DENISON, Lt.-Col. George Taylor, 
 Ont. public service, comes of a fam- 
 ily which has won a high place in 
 the annals of Can. His greatgrand 
 father, Capt. John Denison, of tlie 
 2nd West York Regt., Kng., was 
 one of the pioneers of Toronto, 
 where he settled in 1796. His 
 grandfather, Lt.Col. Geo. Taylor 
 Denison, served as a volunteer 
 officer in the war of 1812, and in the 
 rebellion of 1837 commanded a vol- 
 unteer cavalry troop, which he had 
 himself organized, and which is now 
 known as the (iov. -Genl's. Body 
 Guard. He was also prominent in 
 city politics, being a nicm. of the 
 first City Council. He m. the only 
 child of Capt. Richard Lippincott, a 
 U. E. Loyalist officer from New 
 Jersey, and. by this marriage he had 
 as., b. at Bellevue, Toronto, 1816. 
 This 8., the father of the subject 
 of this sketch — also Geo. Taylor 
 Denison — though a lawyer by pro- 
 fession, gave his chief energies to 
 the Can. volunteer service. In 1838 
 he was apptd. lieut. in the Body 
 Guards, then commanded by his 
 father, and in 1846 he obtained 
 command of the ti-oop. He may be 
 regarded as the father of Toronto's 
 niuitla, since he organized cavalry, 
 artillery, and rifles. The Queen's 
 Own was one of the corps raised by 
 him. Like his father, he was also 
 prominent in civic affiiirs, and was 
 tor a long time aid. for St. Patrick's 
 Ward. The subject of this sketch 
 
 was b. in Toronto, Aug. 31, 1839. 
 He wad od. at U. C. (Joll., and 
 graduated LL. B. at Toronto Univ., 
 1861. Called to the bar the same 
 year, he practised his profession in 
 his native city, being for some yrs. 
 in partnership with his bro. , the lato 
 Lt.-Col. F. C. Denison, CM.G., 
 M.P. Elected to the city council, 
 he sat therein as aid. for St. Pa- 
 trick's Ward, 1865-67, when he 
 declined re-election. In 1872, and 
 again in 1873, he was sent to Eng. 
 by the Govt, of Ont. as a special 
 Comnr. in behalf of immigration. In 
 1877 he was apptd. Police Magis- 
 trate for the city of Toronto, an 
 office ho still retains. His military 
 service commenced 1855, he being 
 then gazetted cornet in the (»ov.- 
 Genl's, Body Guard. He became 
 capt. of his troop, Apl. 22, 1857, 
 was promoted maj., 1862, and 
 It. -col., 1866. Lt.-Col. D. holds a 
 l,st class Cavalry certificate. He was 
 on active service during the Fenian 
 raid, 1866, and commanded the out- 
 posts on the Niagara river, under 
 Col. (now F. M. Lord) Wolseley, in 
 the autumn of that year. He was 
 again on active service during the 
 N.-W. rebellion, 1885 (mentioned 
 in despatches and medal). He has 
 V)een a frecjuent contributor to the 
 newspaper and periodical press on 
 subjects of national and military 
 importance, and has likewise ap 
 peared on the lecture platform in 
 advocacy of Canada's rights and 
 of the preservation of tne unity 
 of the Empire. He has published 
 separately : " The National De- 
 fences ; or, Observations on the Best 
 Defensive Force for Canada " ( 1 861 ) ; 
 " Canada, is She Prepared for War ?" 
 (do.) ; " A Review of the Militia

 In 1877 he won the HrHt prize otfero(i 
 by the Emperor of RuHsia for the 
 best " History of Cavalry." On this 
 occasion he proceeded to St. I'eters- 
 burg, where he remaini'd for two 
 months, and was presented to the 
 Emperor and Rmpross. The work 
 was published in London the same 
 
 {rear, and in Russian and German 
 ater, and is now being translated 
 into Japanese by order of the Minis- 
 ter of War of Japan. This achieve- 
 ment was very Jjighly regarded, 
 not alone by Canadians, but by 
 British subjects ev-iry where. To 
 mark his sense of the luthor's pluck 
 and ability, the Marquis of Dunerin, 
 at that time (Jov.-(jlen'. of Can., pre- 
 sented him with a mxial suitably 
 inscribed. Among ti.e most im- 
 portant of his public lectures and 
 addresses have been t." " following : 
 " The Importance of Maintaining 
 the Unity of the Einpiie " (deliv- 
 ered before the Imp. and Fed. 
 League, Lon., 1890); "The United 
 Empire Loyr.iists" (1891); "The 
 Opening of the War of 1812 " (do.) ; 
 "National Spirit : its Influence 
 upon Nations" (do.). Lt.-Col. D. 
 has been connected with a large 
 number of national, mil. and patri- 
 otic societies in his native country. 
 He was one of the founders of the 
 "Canada First" party, an organi- 
 zation that did much to shape the 
 destinies of the great North -West, 
 as well as of the Dom. at large. 
 Later, he assisted at the birth of the 
 Hist. Soc. of Ont., and is an hnn. 
 mem. of the Women's Can. Hist. 
 Soc. Ho is also Presdt. of the Dom. 
 Cav. Assn. , and has been Presdt. of

 he was selected by its founder, the 
 Marquis of Lome, to be a mem. of 
 the sec. on Eng. Literature and 
 History, and he was subsequently 
 elected Presdt. thereof. In 1894 he 
 was apptd. a mem. of the Bd. of 
 Trustees of U. C. Coll. In 1893 
 he was elected Presdt. of the Impl.

 Presdt., and a deputation of the 
 League were apptd. to proceed to 
 En^. in 1894, to urge the reorgani- 
 zation of the League, 'i he mission 
 was very successful. On the 20th 
 July, 1894, the deputation met a 
 number of friends of the cause, Sir

 DE SOLA, Bev. Meldola (Juwinb), 
 is the eld. 8. of the late Rev. Abra- 
 ham (le Sola, LL. I). , Montreal, in hin 
 lifetime one of the moHt scholarly 
 exix)nonts of orthodox Judainm in 
 Am., ami wash, in Montreal, Maj' 
 22, 1853. He early displayed a 
 love for Hebrew and Theol. studies, 
 which were prosecuted xuuler the 
 direction of his father. Following 
 commercial pursuits for a few yrs., 
 his father's failing health redirected 
 his attention to the work of the 
 ministry, and from 1876 to 1882, 
 he officiated regularly as voluntary 
 lay assist, at the Spani.sh and Por 
 tugiiese synagogue, Montreal, the 
 senior Jevish cong. , by netily a cen- 
 tury, inthatcity. Here his father had 
 ministered for a lengthened perio<l, 
 and upon his death, Juno, 1882, the 
 cong. urged the son to accept the 
 vacant cliarge. He acceded to their 
 wishes, and thus became the Hrst 
 Jewish min. of Can. birth. In his 
 opening sermon the new pastor ex- 
 pressea in the most explicit manner 
 his determination to uphold the 
 principles of orthodox Judaism, and 
 his subsequent career has proved 
 tho sincerity of his words. He is 
 recognized as the leader of the 
 orthodox majority of tlie coiomunity, 
 and as a steadfast opponent of in- 
 novation and reform, so-called. In 
 1885 a number of Am. reform mins. 
 held a convention at Pittsburg for 
 the purpose of defining the princi- 
 plts of reformed Judaism. His 
 sermon upon the occasion led a 
 portion of the ordinary press to de 
 nounce his opinions as " Inger- 
 soUism with a vengeance," but he is 
 content to take as his motto, "/)e- 
 hnda eM Carthago," and he never 
 misses an opportunity of attacking 
 the reform movement. Mr. de S. 
 has frequently preached in N. Y. 
 and in London. During his last 
 visit to Eng. he was invited by the 
 Chief Rabt)i U) occupy his pulpit, 
 and his sermon then delivered 
 
 create<l a most favourabhi impres- 
 sion. Another sermon, in N. Y., was 
 Hubse(|uently publisluMi in fximphlet 
 form, and its copious notes and 
 references were declarwl by the 
 Jewish press in Eng. to be a valv 
 contribution to the history of . -n 
 reform in Am. He has oft* een 
 subjectetl to bitter attm-' , <th in 
 the U. H. and in Eng. , but > seems 
 quite indifferent to his assailants. 
 Having a cause to plead, he pleads 
 it apparently without fearor favour. 
 He has received several calls to 
 positions that would be more re- 
 munerative to him, but ho has so 
 far steadfastly refused to leave his 
 father's old cong. Wliile he assum- 
 ed his present jMisition for the pur- 
 pose of protecting the cong. against 
 the inroads of radicalism, his pulpit 
 work has been by no means confined 
 to this one line of duty, and many 
 of his sermons upon other subjects 
 have been given to the public in 
 separate form. Nor have his syna- 
 gogue labours been limited to the 
 p'.iTpit. An accomplished musician, 
 he has instructed tho cong. choir 
 for more than 20 yrs., and, under 
 his guidance the numerous responses 
 are sung by the cong. and choir.

 Of Judge D. 's ju<lgmeiit dismi-ssing 
 the action- which has since been 
 confirmed by theCt. of Review— the 
 Lerja/. Nemn (Mch. 15, 1895) said: 
 " This case is an interesting and 
 important addition to the jurispru- 
 dence on the subject of religious de- 
 nominations in this province. . . . Mr. 
 Justice Doherty's treatment of the 
 question is extremely able, and ap- 
 plying but one, though not an unim- 
 portant, tost to the judgment, it 
 may be said that there is not a 
 Hingle position taken by the learned 
 judge in laying down the principlts 
 of law which serve as the basis of 
 the decision, to which an enlightened 
 mem. of any religious denomination, 
 be he Ronum Catholic or Anglitum, 
 Presbyterian or Methodist, Congre 
 gatitmalist or Jew, can reasonably 
 
 take exception The absolute 
 
 equality before tlie law of all reli- 
 gious denominations in this province, 
 is clearly recognized throughout the 
 judgment, and their right to main- 
 tain discipline among their members 
 is distinctly asserted. Tho limita- 
 tions are that the rules must be con- 
 sistent with the law of the land, and 
 that the tribunal or duly constituted 
 authority of the body must not act 
 in an unfair or malicious manner . . , 
 It may be added, that the authorities 
 cited by the Court are exceedingly 
 apposite, and show that the decision 
 is in harmony with English juris- 
 prudence. " itis Lord.ship was apptd.

 of the extensive sugar refinery then 
 established in Montreal by the late

 a successful venture fiom the first, 
 but had to be closed down in 1874, 
 owing to the tariff changes of the 
 Mackenzie govt. Before resuming 
 operations in 187'J — in which year 
 Mr. D. founded the Can. Sugar 
 Refining Co., of which he became 
 Presdt. , — he spent 5 yrs. abroad in 
 travel, study and recreation. He

 real branch of the Women's National 
 Council of Can., presided over by 
 the Countess of Aberdeen. In Up- 
 ivard and Onward, Oct., 1896, the 
 Countess of Aberdeen pays this 
 tribute to Mrs. D. : " Amongst the 
 many able women in Canada who 
 are inspiring their sisters, there is 
 none who comes before Mrs. George 
 Drummond, wife of Senator Drum- 
 mond. of Monti'cal. She has been 
 the President of the Montreal Local 
 Council from its foundation, and her 
 voice is ever eagerly listened to both 
 in the national and local councils. 
 She unites with a most distinguishes! 
 presence and great personal charm 
 gifts of rare eloquence and the power 
 of clothing her thoughts in most ex- 
 pressive language. She has read 
 much, and her conclusions are the 
 result of long and earnest reasoning, 
 and yet she is possessed with burn- 
 ing enthusiasm for all that is true, 
 and just and beautiful, and a con- 
 suming hatred for unrighteousness in 
 every form. But with all these en- 
 dowments she is most essentially 
 first and foremost a home woman, 
 and one who will never lend the 
 weight of her influence to any move- 
 ment which will tend to make 
 women forget or minimize their first 
 and holiest duties. No wonder, 
 then, that th^ Canadian Cpun<;jl

 mostenlightened people in the world. 
 Near enough to Europe to have its 
 culture and depth, near enough to 
 the U. S. to share i-iivii activity and

 of politic-al union with an Imperial

 months of clerical duty. Ordained 
 to the diac^onate, he returnetl to 
 Mass , and for the summer took 
 charge of St. Paul's Ch., Stock - 
 bridge, the rector being absent in 
 Europe. From Stockbridge he went 
 to N. Y. citv', was apptd. rector's 
 asst. to the Kev. Dr. Rylance, at old 
 St. Mark's-in the-Bowerv, and in 
 Apl., 1885. at Christ Ch.', 5th Av., 
 received priest's orders from the Rt. 
 Rev. H. C. Potter, D.D., Bp. of 
 N. Y. Late in the spring he ac- 
 cepted a call to a new parish at 
 Chestnut Hill, Ma.ss., the most ex- 
 clusive suburb of Boston, and in this 
 position remained for over a year, 
 when, being unable longer to endure 
 the Boston climate, he returned to 
 N. Y., wJiere he gave himself ener- 
 getically to literary work, taking 
 Sunday duty, however, ctmstantly, 
 in important parishes in or near the 
 citv. About this time a new im- 
 pulse was given, chiefly Iw Harvard 
 Coll. , to the teaching of Eng, in pre- 
 paratory schs. , and Mr. E. , who had 
 always had much enthusiasn) for 
 Eng. study, and who had already 
 become known as a writer, was re- 
 quested by Dr. A. H. Cutler, the 
 head of the most important private 
 sch. in N. Y., to take charge, in 
 advanced Eng., of the boys in his 
 sch. who were about to enter the 
 various colleges, especially Harvard. 
 So successful has Mr. K. been in this 
 work, and so strongly attached has 
 he become to the sch. , that he has 
 continued his connection with it to 
 the present time, gradually assum- 
 ing the direction of the whole Eng. 
 dept. , which he has quite re-organ- 
 ized. In Ch. work 3 likewise con- 
 tinues to b(> deeply interested ; his 
 ability as a preacher is freely recog- 
 nized, hi.s sermons being sai(i to show 
 much of the poet's penetration of 
 character and life, as well as insight 
 into the truth at the heart of all 
 dogma. Much of Mr. E. 'a most 
 laborious and most lasting work 
 has been done in the field of litera- 
 ture. From the outset of his career 
 he has written much for newspapers 
 
 and periodicals, and long before any 
 published volume of his had l)een 
 given to the world, he had been 
 known as the author of prose articles 
 and poems of merit. A careful stu- 
 dentof religion, having thoughtdeep- 
 ly from his boyho</ 1, it is not strange 
 that his first publi; 'led book should 
 be a volume of (onnected theol. 
 essays. This book, known as "The 
 Heart of the Oeeds ; Historical 
 Religion in the Light of Modern 
 Thought," was first published, 1888, 
 and at once gave the author a fore- 
 most place among the young reli- 
 gious thinkers of the country. From 
 such men in the Ep. Ch. as the late 
 Bp. Phillips BrtK)ks it received high 
 commendation, and it now ranks as 
 a standard book in Broad Ch. popu- 
 lar theol. The Eng. of the book 
 was regarded as especially fine, and 
 was praised un.stintedly by literary 
 critics like E. C. Stedman. Mr. E.'s 
 second published M'ork was a volume 
 of poems, entitled "Acadian Legends 
 and Lyrics," which showed a wide 
 range of poetical feeling, and a fine 
 control of nnisical .s])eech. The bor»k 
 contains some legendary poems of 
 interest, and many beautiful lyrics, 
 and has had a steady sale. This 
 volume, which first appeare<l, 1889, 
 was followed, 1890, by a little book 
 on letter writing; in 1891, by a valu- 
 able historical work, known as " The 
 Church of England in Nova Scotia, 
 and the Tory Clergy of the Revolu- 
 tion," and in 1892, by a volume of 
 short stories, "Tales of a (irarri.son 
 Town,'' collaborated with C. L. 
 Betts {'/.('.). Mr. E.'s iwems have 
 gone into several anthologies, like 
 " Poets of the Ureat Dominion,'' 
 " Y'ounger American Poets," and 
 "Poems of Wild Life," In his in- 
 tnxluction to "Younger Ameri- 
 can Poets," Douglas Sladen says : 
 "Eaton, I think, has been the most 
 happy of the Camidians in treating 
 their national legends. There are 
 few writers in the U. S. who equal 
 him in this respect. This volume, 
 "Acadian Legends and Lyrics," 
 though only recently issued, is one 
 of the best yet produced by a Cans-

 vein running tliror.j^ii it." Mr. 
 E. 8 name is to be fi-imd in 8ted 
 man's "Library of American Liter 
 ature," though only in a subordinate 
 way. A .sketch of Iiin life is there 
 given, and he is represented by one 
 or two of his poems. The reason for 
 his not (Kt'upying a ra<jre prominent 
 j)hice is that he is a Can. by birth, 
 and that, although nio.st of his life 
 has been .spent, and all hi.s work 
 done, in the U. 8., Caii. literature 
 claims him. A great deal of liis 
 leisure time has been spent by Mr. 
 E. on local history and genealogy. 
 Ill the fijld of family hist;;i\v he has 
 been known as one of the most 
 patient and accurate students in the 
 U. S., and in this dept. he hat' pub 
 lished much, both in book form and 
 111 periodicals. He has been a mem. 
 of both the New Eng. and N. Y. 
 Genealogical Societies, and at one 
 time he hehl the honorary office in 
 the N. V. Soo. of " Fiegistrai of I'edi 
 grees. '■ In private life Mr. K. is 
 favourably known. He has unusual 
 
 Sersonal magnetism, and his life in 
 \. Y., and indeed his whole life, 
 has been singularly rich in friend- 
 ships. In the social and literary 
 world of N. Y'. he holds a prominent 
 place ; with many of the leading 
 Am. authors he is on terras of close 
 friendship, and his acquaintance in 
 the ministry of his (Jh. is naturally 
 very large. He has never in. It is

 from Scot., by his wife, Clarissa 
 Eastman, a (firect descendant of 
 Miles Standish. B. on his father's 
 farm near Bristol, Vt., U.S., Aug. 
 22, 1827, he was ed. at the Dist. 
 Sob., and commenced his business 
 career in N. Y. city. Removing 
 to BurlingtxHi, Vt. , he embarked in 
 the manufacture of friction matches, 
 1851. In 1854, he came to Hull, 
 P.Q. , where he erected ext-ensive 
 shops and warehouses and became 
 the largest manufacturer of matches 
 in the Brit. Provinces. In 1856, he 
 added to his business the manufac- 
 ture of woodenware, and more re- 
 cently (1892) the manufacture of 
 paper. His combined establish- 
 ment is now among the very largest 
 and most flourishing in the world, 
 and furnishes employment to over 
 2000 hands. In 1886, Mr. E. found 
 it desirable to form a joint-stock co. , 
 since when the various branches of 
 his buaine.ss have been carried on 
 under the name of " The E. B. Eddy 
 Co. ," of which organization he is the 
 Presdt. Mr. E. sat for Ottawa Co.

 House of Edgar," edited by a

 P.Q., Aug. 10, 1841, he received his 
 ed. at Lennoxville and at the city of 
 Quebec. Moving West, he read with 
 Rev. G. D. Mackenzie, at (Jeorge- 
 town, for a year, and then studied 
 law under the late Hon. John 
 Hillyard Cameron, Q.C. , and was 
 called to the bar 1864. He practised 
 in Toronto in partnership with the 
 present Chief -Justice of Can., Sir 
 Henry Strong, an<i afterward with 
 the late Fred. Fenton, Co. Atty, 
 At present, he is hea<l of the law 
 firm of Edgar and Maloiie. He was 
 created a Q.C. by the Ont. (iovt., 
 1890. While a young man, he 
 served as legal ed. of the Toronto 
 Globe and of the Montreal Trade 
 
 Henein — he al" published an 
 annotated editi., if the Insolvent 
 A<.t, 1864, with deciflions -as well 
 as several other law publications, 
 and wrote on general questions for 
 the public nross. He was early 
 elected Pre.s<it. of the Ont. Literary 
 Soc, an assn. which included in its 
 membership the flower and promise 
 of western Can. manlKXMl. A Lib. 
 politi(!ally, he was nominated in 
 that interest to .stand for the repre- 
 sentation of Monck, in the Prov. 
 fjt^gi.slature, at the g. c. 1871, and 
 was defeate<l by 4 votes, in the 
 following yeai he wa.s returned for 
 the same constituency to tlu; Ho. of 
 Commons and sat in that lM)dy until 
 the close of the Parlt. At his first 
 session he was apptil. chivjf Lib. 
 " Whip," and it was he who mar- 
 shalled the hosts of the or)position 
 during f he political crisis <« 1873-74, 
 culminating in the downfall of Sir 
 John Macd«»nald's first l)om. cabinet. 
 At the ensuing general elections he 
 met with defeat on going ba<;k for re- 
 election --but although out of Parlt. 
 he was not allowed to remain idle. 
 He was ofl'ere<l and accepted a iK)li- 
 tioal mission to B. C. in connection 
 with the question of the construction 
 of the Can. Pac. By., and a<'(£uitted 
 himself, as history records, " with 
 rare diplomatic skill." Defeated 
 again in Monck, at the g. e. 1882, 
 by a majority ^)i 1, he remained out 
 of I'arlt. until Aug., 1884, when at 
 a bye-eleoticm he was returned for 
 West Ontario by acclamation. At 
 this time he had been for s<»me yrs. 
 on the directorate of the Toronto 
 Globe, the principal organ of the 
 Reform party in Can. , and was one 
 of its leader writers. He was also 
 an effective organizer for his party, 
 both under Mr. Blake and Sir W. 
 Laurier, and no doubt much of its 
 success at the polls in 1896, was due 
 to his counsel and efforts. At the 
 meeting of the new Parlt., Aug. 19, 
 1896, he was proposed as Speaker of 
 the Commons, and electe<l by accla 
 mation. On Mch. 24, 1897, he was 
 sworn of the Queen's Privy Council, 
 together with the preceding speaker,

 brought in and passed 18H9. In 
 1894 he took up the ([ueHtion of 
 Intern. Arbitration with a view of 
 securing a permanent wtateof peace in 
 the great Kng. Hpeaking world. Hi.s 
 speech on this occa.sion was regarded 
 as "one of the moat elo((uent and 
 suggestive ever heard in Parlia- 
 ment," and led at once to the adop- 
 tion by acclamation of the resolution 
 prepared by him. As a party man, 
 he acted wiih Mr. Tarte, in the 
 session of 1891, in conducting the 
 (.Connolly- Mc(5reevy investigation. 
 Afterward he was given charge of 
 the impeachnieut of Sir Adolphe 
 Caron, and also of the prosecution 
 of the charges against Mr. Turcotte,

 question he took an active part in 
 exposing the operations of the cotton 
 combine. In addition to his other 
 literary efforts, he has published a 
 volume of poems : "This Canada of 
 Ours an<i Other Poems," (Toronto, 
 1893), and has been declaked by 
 Frechette to be " a poet of excep- 
 tional merit who captivates by his 
 elevation of thought, charm of ex- 
 
 fression and faultless good taste."

 ELLIS, John Valentine, jonrnnlist

 and Margt. Ellis, both natives of 
 Irel., and was b. in Halifax, N.S. , 
 1835. After a common sch. educa- 
 tion, he entered a publisher's house, 
 and learned the printing business. 
 In 1854 he went to Montreal, and in 
 1857 to St. John, whore he became 
 a newspaper reporter. Five yrs. 
 later, he, with the late Christopher 
 Armstrong, bought out the St. John 
 Globe, of which he has ever since 
 been the proprietor as well as ed. 
 In 1882 he was elected to the ProvL 
 Assembly as the representative of 
 the city of St. John, and was re- 
 elected in 1886. In the following 
 year, when the g. e. to the Ho. of 
 Commons took place, he resigned 
 from the local House, in order to run 
 as the Lib. candidate for the city. 
 He was triumphantly returned, his 
 election being regarded as a great 
 victory, inasmuch aa it was the first 
 Federal success of the Liberals in 
 St. John since the year 1874. In 
 1891 he again ran in the Lib. inter- 
 est, but was defeated. Mr. E. has 
 always taken a ^reat interest in 
 municipal and sc'.i. attairs, as well as 
 in Provl. and Dom. politics. For

 Dom. g. e. of 1887 trouble arose out 
 the return of G. F. Baird, for 
 Queen's, N.Ii. Mr. Bainl had re- 
 ceived 60 votes lesH than were polled 
 for hia opponent, yet the returning 
 officer, on the plea that Mr. King, 
 the Lib. candidate, had made his 
 election deposit per.sonally instead 
 of through an agent, declared Mr. 
 Baird elected. Nobody now defends 
 the coniluct of tlie official. He ac- 
 cepted Mr. King's candidature, he 
 received his money, ho held an elec- 
 tion, but he did not discover until 
 the polls were closed and Mr. King 
 had scored a majority that there had 
 been an informality, so far as the 
 proceedings were concerned. When 
 he found that Mr. King was elected, 
 he assumed judicial powers, and re- 
 turned, in.stea<i of the choice of the 
 people, the minority candidate, "^^"he 
 matter was discussed in Parlt. , and 
 eventually Mr. Bairtl resigned and 
 secured re-election. But prior to 
 this an appeal was taken to the 
 courts by tlie Liberals, who sought 
 a recount. When the no. ju<lge 
 was about to make the recount, 
 Judge Tuck, of the Supreme Ct., 
 issued, in conformity with an ap[)eal 
 made to him to that end, a writ of 
 prohibition preventing the local 
 judge from adding up the vote. 
 There can be no doubt as to what 
 the result of a recount would have 
 been : the candidate who had re- 
 ceived the majority of votes would 
 have been declared elected. The 
 action of Judge Tuck in issuing the 
 writ led to loud protests, and among 
 those who objected resolutely and 
 strongly was Mr. E., in his news- 
 paper. Proceedings were ir '^ituted 
 against Mr. E. for contempt ^f court, 
 exception being taken to such ex- 
 pressions as theso : ' But it is not 
 justice that is wanted, and therefore 
 Judge Tuck intervenes.' 'The re- 
 turning officer, who appears to be 
 restrained by no moral considera- 
 tions, and who appears to be inca- 
 pable of judging between right and 
 wrong, has selected Mr. Baird to sit 
 in the Ho. of Commons of Can., 
 although a majority of the electors 
 
 rejected Mr. Baird.' ' Can partisan 
 jutlges give it vitality by degrading 
 the ermine in its interest?' 'But 
 the assumption of power by officials, 
 and the prostitution of Judicial au- 
 thority for the purposes of party, 
 are sufficient to weaken the founda- 
 tions of the strongest faith in free 
 dom. ' These extract.^ were made by- 
 Mr. E.'s opponents, and he contended 
 liiat they did not in all ca.ses repre- 
 sent the general tenor of the articles 
 from which they were taken. It 
 was contended on his behalf, also, 
 that there was no contempt of court, 
 inasmui'li as in reality no action was 
 pending, Mr. Bair 1 having l)een con- 
 firmed in tlie possession of the seat 
 in Parlt. to which Mr. King had 
 been elected. Mr. E. was neverthe- 
 less condemned to pay, in addition 
 to a fine of $200, all the costs of the 
 suit, and to suffer imprisonment in 
 the oonunon jail for 30 days. An 
 appeal to the Supreme Ct. at Ottawa 
 on Mr. E.'s behalf having failed, the 
 N. B. judges inflicted the severe 
 penalties named. He spent the 30 
 days in prison, and on his release was 
 accorded one of the most enthusi- 
 astic receptions on the part of the 
 people of Kit. John, ever accorded to 
 a public man in that Province. In 
 addition, many friends and sympa- 
 thizers subscribed to a fund for de- 
 fraying the heavy expenses Mr. E. 
 was condemned to pay.'' Mr. E. has 
 held the Presidency of the Soo. for 
 the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani 
 mals. In 1897 he received the hon. 
 degree of LL.l). from N. B. Univ. 
 For many yrs. he has favoured the 
 annexation of Can. to the U. S. He 
 is a pew holder in the Ang. t'h. ; and 
 was m. 1864, to Mary Caroline,

 Mrs. E. is much interested in all 
 that pertains to the go<.)d of human-

 good works, as well as her marked

 (Chrs,), was b. at Keswick, Co. York, 
 Ont., Oct. 7, 1861, and is the a. of 
 an Englishman who came to Can. 
 about 15 yrs. ago. He received his 
 primary ed. in schs. in his native 
 town, and afterward attended the 
 Christian Biblical Inst., Stamford- 
 ville, N.Y., where he spent 4 yrs., 
 the first year being preparatory to 
 his regular thool. <!our.se. His first 
 pastorate was in the Christian Ch. , 
 Newton, N.H., where he remained 
 4J yrs. He also served in chs. at 
 Rj'e, N. H. , for 3 yrs. , and Somerset, 
 Mass., for 2 yrs., before appt. to his 
 present charge, the Ch. of the Evan- 
 gel, Brooklyn. The denomination 
 to which he belongs had a very pe- 
 culiar origin. At the start its ranks 
 were formed from seceders from the 
 Meth., Bapt. , and Presb. chs., in 
 different parts of Am., who got to- 
 gether in different parts of the con- 
 tinent, the existence of the one be- 
 ing absolutely unknown to the other. 
 Vvhen the so-called O'Kelly seces- 
 sion from the Meth. Ch. took place, 
 1793, the seceders first took the 
 name of Republican Meths., but 
 
 ' afterward named themselves Chris- 
 tians, viewing the New Testament 
 as their only code of doctrine and 
 
 I discipline. Mr. E. is now a piinci- 
 
 Eal tigure in this denomination, and 
 is talents and influence arc widely 
 felt. He is a prohibitionist in prin- 
 ciple, and has spoken at mase meet-

 wife, Margt. Stuart Smith. B. in 
 Aberdeen, Scot.. Feb. 15, ISSi, he 
 accompanied his parents to Can. at 
 an early age, and completed his edu- 
 cation in Toronto. He received his 
 first lessons in the art of printing in 
 the same city, having learned to 
 " set type " in ih.^ (Jlwe office. In 
 1879, he joined the reporting staff of 
 that paper, and acted subsequently 
 as its resident correspondent at 
 Ottawa, the Federal capital. On 
 leaving Ottawa, he became an edi- 
 torial writer on the Toronto World. 
 He is now on the editorial staff of 
 his first love, the Olohe, and is re- 
 gardetl everywhere as one of the 
 ablest and most accomplished jour- 
 nalists employed on the Can. press. 
 One example of his style of work 
 was given in the exhaustive sketch 
 of Sir John Thompson's career, M'hich 
 appeared in the Globe the morning 
 after that statesman's death, Dec, 
 1894 ; anotlier, in the brilliant series 
 of letters, descriptive of the present 
 condition of Quebec, written by him 
 during the summer of 1894, while <m 
 a (cycling tour in that Province. Mr. 
 p]. is known also as the author of a 
 series of sketches of Can. public men 
 written for the daily press, which 
 have }>een frequently quoted from 
 and referred to. Politically, he does 
 not class himself with either party in 
 Can. He is a journalist, arid believes 
 that the destiny of t'an. is safe in 
 the hands of Canadians, and they 
 alone have the right to settle and 
 shape it. He believes in democracy, 
 but does not l>elieve that all men are 
 bom equal, because they are not.

 She is a granddaii. of the late Hon. 
 C. R. Fairbanka, Ma,ster of the 
 Rolls and Judge of the Ct. of Vic^^- 
 Admiralty, N.S. , and comes from 
 an ancestry as old as any in the 
 country. Owing to delicate health 
 she attended soh. irregularly until 
 the age of 13, after which her edu- 
 cation was completed at home. In 
 1887 she became secy, to C. F. 
 Fraser, ed. of The Critic. , and Supt. 
 of the Soh. for the Blind, Halifax 
 («/.('.)• This position she filled ac- 
 ceptably for 3 yrs. , during whicli 
 period she (;ontril)nted occasionally, 
 both editorially and otherwise, to 
 the columns o^ The Critic. When 
 in May, 1890, Mr. F. required some 
 one to take charge for a time, of tiie 
 paper, he apptd. Miss F. as.st. ed. 
 As such she wrote the editorial arti-

 reputation of this well-known pro- 
 vincial journal abroad. In Apl., 
 1892, she retired from the position. 
 Since then she has been a frequent 
 contributor of poems and articles to

 was recently engaged in editing, 
 in conjunction with H. Piers, the

 the production of a respectable 
 vohune of verse aptly entitled 
 '• Frankincense ana Myrrh," which 
 met with a cordial reception from 
 tlio friends of both the talented 
 authoress and the editors. .She 
 will probably publish a small col

 FAIBCHIID, George Moore, jr., a 
 retired merchant, is of Scottish and 
 Eng. extraction, and was b. in the 
 city of (Quebec, 1854. His parents 
 having removed to N. Y. vnile he 
 was yet a boy, his ed. was completed 
 in the Univ. of N.Y. While en 
 gaged in commercial life his applica- 
 tion and talents attracted the notice 
 of local capitalists who placed him in 
 the firm of Schoff, Fairchild & Co. , 
 to safeguard their interests. So 
 8ucce.ssfully did he manage his share 
 of the business, that at the early 
 age of 36 he was enabled to retire 
 with a handsome fortune. Since 
 then he has lived in Quebec. Dur 
 ing the most active period of his 
 mercantile career, he found time, 
 not only to cultivate a love of let- 
 ters, but to contribute to the press. 
 In ad<litit)n to many articles upon 
 passing events which have appeared 
 from his pen in the Am. periodicals, 
 he has published "Canadian Loaves " 
 ( 1887) ; " Notes on Two Jesuit Man- 
 uscripts" (1887); "Oritani Sou- 
 venir " (1888) ; "A History of the 
 Quebec Winter Carnival" (1894), 
 and " Rod and Canoe ; Rifle and 
 Snow-shoe, in Quebec's Adiron- 
 (lacks " (189*)). His library of Cana-

 complete in existence. Mr. F. was

 FIELDING, Hon. William Stevens, 
 statesman, is of Kng. descent, and 
 was b. in Halifax, N.S. , Nov. 24, 
 1848. Ed. there, he left sch. at 16 
 yrs. of age to enter the bus'.ness 
 oflSce of the Morning Ghronide, 
 which some three months before 
 had been converted from a tri week 
 ly to a daily paper. Those were 
 stirring times in N. S. , and Joseph 
 Howe, William Annand and many 
 other distinguished Nova Sootians 
 were contributors to the editorial 
 pages of the Chronicle.. The young 
 employee was not slow in catching 
 the spirit of the times aad in plung- 
 ing into the work of the paper. 
 Newspaper staffs were not so large 
 then as they have since become, nor 
 were depts. so specified, and Mr. F. 
 was soon immersed in newspaper 
 work of almost every description. 
 Within less than 3 yrs, from his 
 entry into the business ofHce, and 
 while he was still in his teens, his 
 first editorial was written. Tliat 
 was during the heat of the Confeder- 
 ation movement, and Mr. F.'s sym- 
 pathies were strong with the Anti- 
 confederation party, led by Hon. 
 Joseph Howe. Gradually the young 
 hand developed into the experienced 
 ed. The most varied tasks fell to 
 his lot ; fiequently in one day he 
 would cover the local work, do the 
 work of the shipping dept. , act as 
 proof-reader, and, these duties dis- 
 charged, proceed to write the day's 
 editorials. Thoroughness marked 
 his work in everything, and no 
 small amount of the extensive and 
 minute knowledge of the political 
 conditions of the Province, which 
 has been such a source of strength 
 to him as Premier, was gained in his 
 newspaper work. For 20 yrs. he 
 remained on the Chronicle, and for 
 
 14 yrs. he was the N. S. correspon- 
 dent of the Toronto (Hohi . At the 
 Provl. g. e. 1882, he stood for Hali- 
 fax Co., ami was elected. On the 
 resignation of the Holmes-Thomp- 
 son Govt., July, 1882, a convention 
 of the Lib. party tendered him tlie 
 po.^itionsof Premier and Provl. Secy, 
 and Trejisurer, but these honours 
 were declined. Thus early had his 
 ability as a debater, his mental 
 clearness and his energy carried him 
 to the front. Shortly afterwards 
 he entered the Admn. of Mr. Pipes. 
 In May, 1884, he resigned his seat 
 therein, owing largely to his inabil- 
 ity to attend to both editorial and 
 departmental duties. Two moi.ths 
 later Mr. Pipes himself retired, and 
 Mr. F. was re(iuested by the Lieut. - 
 Go\'. U) form a new cabinet. He 
 complied, and formed the Admn. 
 which remained in oiTice for so long 
 a time ; he himself assumed the 
 Provl. Secretaryship, which carried 
 with it the duties of the financial 
 admn. of the I'rovince. On the 
 formation of the new Lib. Admn. 
 at Ottawa, July, 1896, Mr. F. was 
 apptd. to the office of Mr. of Fi- 
 nance therein, and was elected to 
 the Ho. of Common.s for Shelburne 
 and Queen's. During the session of 
 1807, he introduced a new tariff 
 policy for the Dom,, the mo.st strik- 
 ing feature in which was the grant- 
 ing of prefei-ential trade arrange- 
 ments to Gt. Brit, iie was one of 
 the vice-chairmen of the Ottawa 
 Reform Convention, June, 189.3, and 
 was elected a V. P. of the Maritime 
 Provinces Lib. A.ssn.s Nov,, 1895.

 Ushers, issued a mandfinent, Nov., 
 1892, prohibiting all the faithful, 
 under pain of refusal of the sacra

 this order was to ilestroy the (;ireu-

 as a business enterprise. An action 
 was brought against the Archbp., 
 with damages laid at a large amount,

 across that island. After the ongr. 
 employed b} him had reported satiw- 
 factorily, Mr. F. waa charged by 
 the local govt, to conduct a ry. sur- 
 vey from St. .Toiiii's to St. George's 
 Bay. The outcome is the roa<l now 
 being completed by the Messrs. 
 Raid. In 1880, owing to political 
 exigencies, ho retired fiom the ser- 
 vice of the Dom. Govt At that 
 ilate the transcontinental surveys 
 had establi.shed the practicability of 
 the Pacifi<! Ry., and the mean.s of 
 overcoming the formidable barriers 
 imposed by nature had l)een deter 
 mined. Construction of the work 
 was being pioceeded with at both 
 ends and betwe' ' Lake Superior 
 and the heart of Manitoba, in all 
 ranging ovei- sonu; 2000 miles, 
 6'»0 miles were nearly completed. 
 Since then he has devoted himself 
 to special branches of science and 
 literature. In 1880, he was elected 
 for a term of 3 yrs. Cbancelhn- of 
 Queen's Univ. At the end of each 
 successive tei-ni he was re-elected, 
 and ho still occupies the chancellor's 
 chair. Among tiic sulijects which 
 have specially engaged his study 
 and attention is that of universal 
 or (.,'osmic time. Tl:e first steps in 
 this regard were taken by him, 1878- 
 79, in conimuuieating to the ('an. 
 Inst. , Toronto (of whi«^h body he waa 
 one of the founders), two papers, one 
 on "Time Reckoning," and the other 
 on the " Selection of a Prime Merid- 
 ian to be (>oninion to all Nations, 
 in Connection with Time Reckon 
 ing." The groat obje(!t was stated 
 to be to make Greenwich the stan 
 dai'd for the whole world. The 
 Council of the Can. Inst., in publish 
 ing a fasciculus on the subject in 
 18So, made honourable mention of 
 Mr. F, concluding in these words. 
 " His eflfbrts havo contributed in no 
 small degree to the adoption of an 
 initial meridian common 'o al' na- 
 tions, and that he has umji'estion- 
 ably been the initiator an<l principal 
 agent in th movement foi reform 
 in tin»o-rec«.oning and in the estab- 
 
 I lishraent of the universal Jay. The 
 I Inst, cannot, perhaps, bettei- express 
 I the debt of gratitude which the 
 ! civilized world owes to Mr. S. F. 
 I in this connection than by (quot- 
 ing from the accompanying paper 
 j fi'oni the pen of the distinguished 
 Astronomer Royal of Russia, M, 
 ! Otto Struve : ' It is,' he writes, 
 'through Mr. Fleming's indefati- 
 gable peisonal labours and writ- 
 ings that influential individuals and 
 scientific societies and institutes in 
 .\in. and Europe have Ixsen won 
 over to the cause." In 1879, Mr. 
 F. submitted to the Can. Govt, a 
 scheme for spanning the I'acific Ocean 
 by electric cable, which in connec- 
 tion with the overlanil telegraph 
 would complete the electric girdle 
 of the globe, and bring Gt. Brit., 
 Can., Australia, New Zealand, In- 
 dia and South Africa into unbroken 
 telegraph touch of each other with- 
 out passing over foreign soil. Since 
 that date he has continually advo- 
 cated the establishment of the work, 
 and has written much on Ihe sub- 
 ject. The proceedings of the Colo- 
 nial Confs., of 1887 and 1894, give his 
 views anil arguments at length, and 
 show how much the discussion 
 hinged upon them. Tiiis important 
 national work is seemingly in a fair 
 way of becoming an accomplished 
 fact, and if ever its history be writ- 
 ten, Mr. F. 's name must take a 
 prominent j)laco. He is the author 
 of a large number of reports and 
 papers on purely professional sub- 
 jects. He has also written and pub- 
 lish<Hl . "The Intercolonial; a His- 
 torical Sketch" (1876); "Short 
 Suii'lay Service (or Travellers," a 
 compilation (1877) ; " Daily Prayers

 FRASEB. John A., R.(IA., waH b. 
 
 in London, Kag., IS.'W, and is the s. 
 of the late John Fraser ("Cousin 
 Sandy") a writer who in the sixties, 
 by his caustic, but never unfair or 
 cruel versci, put many a prominent 
 but delinquent <'an politician "in 
 purgatory." As a young man he 
 entered upon the full study of art, 
 and with such success, that before 
 he was 20, he was in the receipt of a 
 respectal'le income from pojtrait 
 painting. Owing to his father's 
 failure in business, the family emi- 
 grated to Can., and in 18f)0, Mi'. F. 
 found himself compelled tt) enter 
 the eniploj' of Wm. Notman, J'ho 
 tographei ♦^o the Queen, Montreal. 
 His advent in that city was coiiuu 
 dent with the formation of the Mont- 
 real Art Assn. Later, he assisted 
 in the formation of the Soc. of (^an. 
 Artists, which was the first genuine 
 ly artistic organization incorporated 
 in Can. In 1868, he removeil to 
 Toronto, as resident partner in the 
 Not man A Kraaer business ; and in 
 1873, along with a few c,oadjutors, 
 organize<l the Ont. Soc. of Artists, 
 of which he was the 1st V.-P. In 
 1880, on the establishment of the 
 'loyal (^an. Acad, of Art, he was 
 apptd. liy its founder, the Mar- 
 quis (^f Lome, a charter mem. In 
 1883, severing his connection with 
 photography, he went to Chicago, 
 and subseqMently to Boston. In 
 1886, the present Lord Mount Ste- 
 phen, for whom he had executed 
 
 some comniiHsioriH, furnished him 
 with transfK)rtation facilities over 
 the newly-constructe<l C. P. Ry. He 
 spent the whole summer painting 
 ^)\■^'.l■ tiic Rocky Mountain div., and 
 the result of his labours was a seiies 
 of pictures, which were exhibited 
 in London, N. Y., and Boston, 
 attracting much public notice and 
 eliciting generally unstinted praise 
 from the press. His contributions 
 to the art display in the Ind. and 
 Col. Exhn., London, drew from the 
 Prof, of Painting to the Rf»yal 
 Acad., in his published report, 
 this statement : " Indeed, in many 
 respects he may be said to be the 
 founder of a new sch. of lands(;ape 
 painting." This was written in re- 
 cognition of the fact noticed and 
 commented on by other authori- 
 ties, tiiat in the absence of any 
 (!ongcnial models for imitatiim in 
 Cai\., breaking away in.stinctivcly 
 from the old conventions through 
 close and ciger and earnest observa- 
 tion of the truths of nature in her 
 varying moods, he had really, 
 though uiKronsciously, anticipated 
 tliat art movement which through 
 pnxjedure from deliberate (ihoice by 
 abler men on exa(!tly the same lines 
 tluit from sheer necessity he had 
 followed, has subsf^quent to the re- 
 marks of the prof, above (juoted, 
 produced the gT"eates>- art sensation 
 of moilern times un<iei- the name 
 of " Impressionism," or the " Im- 
 l)ressi(mistic School." In 1888, Mr. 
 F. went to Europe, worked alto- 
 gether in the open air in Scot, and 
 Eng. , and one of his pictures re- 
 <^eived the unusual honour of being 
 hung on the line at the Royal Acad. 
 Exhn., 1889. On his return— in 
 consetjuence of a <lisordercontra(!ted 
 through working in all weathers out 
 of doors— to the U. S., he took up 
 his residence in N. Y., where he 
 has enjoyed a fair share of sut^cess ; 
 his works and personality having 
 received fair and instant recog- 
 nition from his brother artists. He 
 has been elected a mem. of the 
 Bd. of Control of the most suc- 
 cessful art organixation, " The 
 
FRA8ER.

 Am. Water-Colour Soo.," and a 
 mem. of the Com tea. of Mana^je- 
 ment of tho Salmagundi and N. Y. 
 Water-Colour ClubH. In 1891, tho 
 only year in which ho Hubmitted 
 any works for its accreptance, the 
 Salon, in the Champs Klyst'^es, Paris, 
 hung tho full number ancorded to 
 any exhibitor. The place of honour, 
 viz., tho centre of the line, was filled 
 by " Mauvais Tompa," which the 
 great French critic, M. Lejendre, pro- 
 nounced "strongly original," while 
 another of his pictures, "Au C<fiur 
 d'Ecosse," was hung on a separate 
 panel in the liest I'oom devoted to 
 Aquarelles -the celebrated " Fried- 
 land,1807,"by Meissonier, was placed 
 in exactly the same position at a 
 subsequent exhn. — and all the critics 
 complimented his pictures higlily. 
 In 1893, the Internl. jury at the 
 World's Columbian Expn. awarded 
 him the only medal for water- 
 colours given to Can.; subsequently 
 the Cotton States Expn. gave him 
 the medal for water-colours ; and in 
 1894 the Montreal Art Assn. water, 
 colour prize was given to him.

 nent in the art of .4m., and were 
 foryrs. his private pupils, arc Hora 
 tio Walker, N.A.I)., Hy. Sandham,

 and in his public cajwcity as a 
 t«acher in the Out. Sch. of Art, it 
 was his good fortune for some time 
 to <iirect the earlier studies of G. A. 
 Reid, H.C.A., Ernest E. Seton 
 Thompson and others whose luiusual 
 talents have secured recognition 
 and distinction. During the last 
 two years, though ill liealth has 
 seriously interfered witli Mr. F's. 
 efforts, he is not without hope that 
 he may yet produce better represen- 
 tative work than any he has hither- 
 to done. — /,56 East 9£nd St., Xejr

 tended. Coming to Can., 1857, he 
 commenced the practice of his pro- 
 fession in Toronto, in partnership 
 with Chihon Jones, of that city. In

 mental Buildings and (Jovornor's 
 residence. Mr. V. then removed to 
 Ottawa, where he remained until 
 1867. In that year, in the competi- 
 tion for the new Capitol for the State 
 of N. Y., at Albany, his design was 
 one of the three to which equal pre- 
 miums were awarded, and in the 
 second competition, to which the 
 three successful competitors were 
 united, Augustus Laver, (me of the

 of his plays have been product;d

 known to Canauians as the author of 
 a clever local burlesque: " H. M. S.

 ably successful run during two sea-

 " A Dream of Pure Politicians," 
 being some of those which attracted 
 most attention by their witty and 
 keen criticisms of the follies and 
 weaknesses of the day. These pro 
 duct ions, though bristling with keen 
 sarcasm, are lemarkable for the 
 entire abseni* of acerbity or offen- 
 siveness, and this peculiarity, so rare 
 in this class of writing, evoked the

 "During his professional eartor he 
 has been connected with many ini- 
 |x)rtant cases, an<l it i>? safe to say 
 that he is the triistod repository of 
 more business and })olitical secrets 
 than any other man in Montreal. 
 For example, he was Mr. Tarte'slegal 
 adviser in the famous Connolly Mc- 
 Greevy investigation in 1891, and it 
 was largely owing to his skill in con- 
 necting threads of evidence and in 
 marshalling his facts that the details 
 of those swindles were exposed. He 
 represented the Mercier (iovt. in 
 London when the ..anks appealed to 
 the Privy Council against the tax on 
 commercial corporations imposed by 
 the preceding Con. (Jovt., and as a 
 result of his argument the Act was 
 declared constitutional. Notwith- 
 standing his strong Lib. proclivities, 
 he was chosen by the late Archbp. 
 of Montreal to defend him in the 
 action for damages which was 
 brought by the Caw. Revue Vjeoause 
 Mgr. Fabre, in the exercise of his 
 Episcopal functions, considered it 
 necessary to forbid the faithful to 
 read that journal. He was legal ad-

 time of its suspension, and there can 
 be no doubt that he subsequently 
 pulled the directors out of a very 
 oad hole." He was elected Bdton-

 presided in the I^angevin Mc(treevy 
 case, 1S91, at 104 sittings of the

 any of his numerous decisions m this 
 lengthy case, and on the jiresenta 
 tion of the report of the comte. to 
 tho Ho. , Mr. (ji. was complinienteil 
 by leading mems. of the Opposition 
 for the impartial spirit evinced by 
 him throughout. Besides his work 
 on Bills of P^xchange (1860), Mr. (i.

 most important contiibutions to 
 Can. literature (and inackiiowledg 
 ment of which he was presented 
 with the Confederation Meilal by 
 the Earl of Aberdeen), were made 
 during recent yrs. As the result of 
 long and patient researi'h in tho 
 ancient archives of tho country, ho 
 began, 1889. the publication of a 
 series of essays dealing with the 
 earlier history of some portions of 
 the dist. of Montreal. TJiese were 
 largely translatetl from the French, 
 
 and were emlxKlied in a handaome

 it has been said that " more light is 
 thrown upon tin* history of the early

 course at the Univ. of (Jlasgow. 
 His career there was distingiii.shed 
 by ex(Xiptional brilliancy, mc. wa.s 
 firnt in ClassicH, Moral Phil, and 
 Chemifitry, and carrier! fitT the Lord 
 Rector's prize of 30 guineas for the 
 best essay on Himhwi l.,it. and Phil. 
 Ordained to the mini.stry Nov., 
 I860, he returnetl to his native pro 
 vince, and in the following J'ear 
 was apptd. a mission, in Co. Pictou. 
 Not long afterwards he was sent to 
 (leorgetown, P.E.I. In May, 1H(>; , 
 he accepted a call to the pastorate 
 of St. \lathow's Ch., Halifa.x, where 
 he remained for 14 yrs. While in 
 Halifax he was a dir. of Dalhousie 
 Coll., a trustee of the Theol. Semy., 
 a mem. of various comtes. of Presb. 
 and Synod, and c'lalrman, secy, or 
 ni(!m. of many benevolent socs. He 
 was also a zoaloua advocate of union 
 in the Fresb. Ch., and when that 
 event was consummated he, as 
 Modera tv of the Kirk Synod, sub 
 scribed the articles in its name. In 
 1872 he accompanie<l the present Sir 
 Saudford Fleming in his celebrated 
 journey overland to B. C, as the 
 result of which he published, 1873, 
 "Ocean to Ocean," a work which 
 
 27 : ... ■ 
 
 has passed through several editions, 
 and in still read with interest by 
 young and old. This was the com- 
 mencement of a line of authorship 
 which he has sinci: often followed. 
 In 1877, he became Principal of 
 t^uenii's (!oll., Kinmittm, receiving 
 in the same year the degi-ee of D. D. ,

 His duties as Principal include the 
 tinancial supervision of the Coll., 
 the arrangement of the courses of in- 
 struction in all the faculties, in ad- 
 dition to his labours as Primarius 
 Prof, of Tiieol He belongs to the 
 liib. still, of thought in the Presb. 
 Ch., the meaning of which is that 
 while he adlitwes to the cardinal 
 doctrines of tim < Jospel, he desires 
 to give the utmost fr«>edom to indi- 
 vidual thought and opinion within 
 th(! limits of the fundam(>nt.)il liasis 
 of the (.'h. He hopes to see further 
 triumphs of the pi ' nciples of union, 
 taking the form of a federation of 
 the great Piot. Chs. I'olit ically, his 
 sympathies are with causes and prin- 
 ciples, and not with parties. He 
 gave his support in N. S. to those 
 wlio advocated and carried free 
 schs. and the Confederation of the 
 Provinces into a united Can. Sinye 
 that date lie has supported every 
 movement looking to the oultivatiim 
 of (Jan. sentiment, the extension of 
 trade on British lines, and the pro- 
 moti(m ofch>ser relatitms between 
 the colonies and the mother land.

 Ho was profoundly interested in 
 mission work, and the sea had for 
 him that magical attraction which, 
 a few centuries ago, emptied nearly 
 every little cove and flsuing hnmlet 
 in Cornwall and Devon of its heartiest 
 men, and carried them over the high 
 seas to the ends of the earth. Dr. 
 G. was the first mod. man to go to 
 the fishermen, and he has lived 12 
 yi's. among them, first in the German 
 Ocean, and afterwards on the Labra 
 dor coast. He came first to Labrador, 
 1892, in the mission ship Alhert. 
 His report led to her return in 1893. 
 With assistance obtained in New- 
 foundland, Can. and Eng. , two 
 hospitals, fully equipjtod, were erect- 
 ed, one at Battle Harbour and one 
 at Indian Harbour, much farther 
 north. A doctor and trained nurse 
 were placed in charge of each. The 
 Alhert cruised along the coast 
 during the fishing season, Dr. (i. 
 ministering to the sick and relieving 
 the poor with donations of clothing, 
 and in some cases, of food. The 
 severe cases were carried to the 
 hospitals. No less than 2493 cases 
 np to 1894 were treated. In that 
 year Sir D. A. Smith presented to 
 the Mission a steam yacht 80 ft. long, 
 to be employed in visiting the dif- 
 ferent fishing stations in charge of 
 Dr. G. More recently (1897) a lady 
 resident of Toronto has presented a 
 second launch to (he mission. Dr. 
 G. has written his experiences in 
 "The Vikings of To-day : or, Life 
 and Me<lical Work among the Fisher- 
 men of Labrador" (189o).

 Mad. A. has sung frequently before 
 the Queen and other crowned heads 
 or Europe, and on the occasion of 
 Queen \ ictoria's Jubilee, 1887, re- 
 eeive.i a valuaide gift from Her 
 Majesty, consisting of a model in 
 pure g(dd of tlii' figure of victory, 
 designed by the Countess Feodora 
 Oleiehen. A scroll across the figure 
 bears the word, "Victoria," in pre 
 cioua stones. In Oct., l8tK), aftei' 
 singing at Balmoral befor(« the Queen 
 and the Royal Family. Her Majesty 
 was pleased to give Albani a furthcu' 
 proof of her friendly interest and 
 regard by presenting her with a 
 valuable picture containing ])oitraits 
 of the whole of the Eloyal Family. 
 The Emperor of (lermany, not long 
 afterwards, preseuttul her with a 
 gold curb iirac;elet, ha\ ing a painteil 
 miniature of the young Kaiser in the 
 centre, surrounded with rubies and 
 brilliants. In 1897, she was award 
 ed the gold Beethoven medal by the 
 London Philharmonic Soc., as "a 
 mark of appreciation by the Hoc. of 
 her excej>tional genius and musical 
 attainments, and of her generous and 
 artistic nature " Besides singing in 
 opera, Mad. A. has studied s|)ecially

 ger, and has one son, who is being 
 educated for his mother's profession. 
 It may Ve well to state here that 
 the adoption by her of the stages 
 name of Albani, nad nothing to do 
 with the city of Albany. It was 
 the ma6it(ro Ijamj)erti who suggested 
 it at Milan: " Vou must have, an 
 ! Italian name," he said. " Why not 
 I take that of Albani ''. It is the name 
 of an ohl and almost extinct family,

 HAGUE, George, bank manager, 
 
 belongs to an old Y^orkshire family. 
 In fact, in tlie profession by which 
 be is generally known he ha(I several 
 jiredecessors. Three of his rela- 
 tives, on the mother's side, were 
 managers of the local bank in the 
 manufacturing town where he was 
 brouglit up. B. at Rotherham, 
 Yorkshire, Eng., 1825, he wa.-< ed. 
 at his native place, and commenced 
 bis business career in the tiffico of 
 the Shellield Banking Co. Coming 
 (o (^an. , 1854, as the financial 
 niangr. for a lirra of ry. contrac- 
 tors, be, after 2 yrs., ac('.ej)ted tiie 
 aj)pt. of accountant at headquarters 
 in the newly organized Bank of 
 Toronto. I'romoted muiigr. of tlie 
 Cobourg branch, 18G0, lie was re- 
 called to Toronto, in 18()3, to suc- 
 ceed the late Angus Cameron as 
 cashier of tlie liank. While holding 
 
 this office Mr. H. took an active 
 part in all nuitters relating to the 
 polity of banking, and, in co-opera- 
 tion with other bankers and with 
 mems. of Parlt., otfored an un- 
 flinching resistance to the proposal 
 of the then (iovt. to change the 
 basis of the circulation of the nan ks. 
 These exertions were crowned witli 
 success, the govt, scheme being 
 withdrawn after being 2 sessions 
 l>eforo Parlt. and another scheme 
 introduced and carried in the na- 
 ture of a compromise. Intending 
 to devote his future yrs. entirely 
 to religious and philanthropic work, 
 he retired from the service of tii<; 
 Bank of Toronto at the end of the 
 year 1876. Not long afterwards, 
 the Merchants' Bank of Can., as 
 the result of errors commitLed 
 in connection with its manage- 
 ment, found itself in a position 
 of serious embarrassment. Mr. H. 
 was urgently requested to take 
 charge of the bank and extricate 
 it from its difficulties. Abandon- 
 ing his own inclinations, he did so, 
 becoming genl. mangr. of the l)ank. 
 1877. After a thorough examina- 
 tion of the situation, he decideil 
 that the best course was to reduce 
 the capital stock, which was im- 
 paired, and start afresh. This waa 
 done, and by constant attention and 
 unremitting care on his pait, along 
 with the active co-operation of an 
 able Bd. of Dirs., the institution 
 was brought slowly forward, until 
 it stands today in the forefront 
 of Can. banking institutions. Not- 
 withstanding his exacting official 
 labours, Mr. H. has ffumd time to 
 serve his country in other direc- 
 tions, For many yrs. he has con- 
 tributed extensively to the prt^ss on 
 banking and financial .subjects, lb' 
 is tlie author of a lecture on " Mod 
 em Business" (1879), of a paper on 
 "Banking," read before the Brit. 
 A.ssn. (1884), of severjil i)aper8 read

 In 1871 Mr. H. went to Kngland

 with N. S. eoal propertie.s, in wliii^h 
 he was interested. Ah there wa.s

 about the Atahanm Claims, he 
 lectured in I^>ndon on " The caUHCs

 pronounced to be "excessive tax

 in tlie course of an editoiial on it 
 said : " This is a task whicli he has 
 accomplished v/ith eminent al)ility 
 and signal success." In May, 1872, 
 he published in the Sf. JauiPs' Mag. 
 " The Dream of tlie United Empire 
 Loyalists of 177H," a liittei' exposure 
 of the Di.sintegration policy of the 
 Govt, which was quoted from by 
 2 out of the 4 speakers in "tlie 
 Debate on the (Jolonies,"' on Mr. 
 Maetie's motion. As an organ for his 
 crusade against the Disintegration 
 party, and in order to revive that 
 old watchword of tlie U. E. Loyal- 
 ists— "a United Empire "—Mr,\H. 
 bought the .SV. Jame.M" Afag., and 
 gave it a second title — the United 
 Empin: Rerie.iv. But be took a 
 more effectual step, when ho carried 
 the war into Mr. Gladstone's own 
 constituency, (ireeuwich, by lectur- 
 ing there on : "The necessity for a 
 National Policy and a Unite<l Em 
 pire." Fortunately, a few weeks 
 later, the electtjrs at (ireenwich 
 were called on to choose a successor 
 to Mr. (Gladstone's colleague, and 
 
 the Con. candidate, who ran as an 
 advocate of 'the Unity of the 
 Empire," was elected by a large 
 nuijority. As this took place only 
 (5 mtlis. before tlie g. e., it wa.s 
 regarded by the public, and j)roved 
 to lie, a 6 nionUis' notice to (piit to 
 the Govt. The Cons, invited Mr. H. 
 to address tlie electors of Brighton 
 and (iiantham on the subjt^ct ol 
 "The Unity of the Empire," and 
 both these constituencies went over 
 to that party by large majorititis at 
 the g. e. On returning to Can.,

 is possible that his idea, that the

 ' Dwarf Era,' may in time be ac- 
 cepted by .science." In \H9'A, Prof. 
 Sayce wrote to Mr. H. : " Your

 hislalxn'ious public life, his indu.stry

 to public bills, there is scariiely a

 ry, from .seti ing up notice of a con

 through by him, and is fo\uid to 
 work admirably. The .lurors Act 
 and the mode of election was en- 
 tirely roerjiiHtriK^ted by Mr. H., 
 Hn<i afterwards consolidated, with 
 ameiidments. The number of jurois 
 returned had been unne(!essariiy 
 large. The act empowered the lo(;al 
 hoards, composed of the (,\>. .ludge 
 and othfirs, to redu(;e the miniber 
 wherever they felt it could be safely 
 done. Many thousand iloUais p»5r 
 annum have been navod to the 
 various counties of tht? Province 
 through this amendment. A recent 
 measure introduced by him also pio- 
 vided that in civil cases 10 jurors 
 might give a verdict/. This has b(?en 
 found to give great relief to jurors 
 and to work satisfjictorily. Nlr. H. 
 was fuie of a cointts of Lib. mims. who 
 oiiginally settled the terms of and 
 drafted the Voters' Ijists Act. An act 
 to give increjised stability to nnitual 
 fire ins. cos. <lid much to strengthen 
 the solvent cos. of this character, 
 and to weed out those established 
 on other than business principles. 
 Tlie act respecting interpleader 
 lessened the cost of those proceed 
 iiigs materially by enabling the 
 issues in some oases, where seizm-es 
 had been made under executions, to 
 ho tried in the Co. Cts. In 1882, 
 when Prov. Secry., Mr. H. carried

 not necessary to (^numerate. While 
 I he was Provl. Secy., a series of acts 
 I relating to the public institutions of 
 j the Province, and another series re- 
 j lating to the liipuu license (|ucstion 
 j and the enforciiment of the li(|Uor 
 laws oc<upied a great deal of his

 ; Mr. (!rooks, if the scope of tht! act, 
 when the latter handed o\or the 
 ! charge of licen.se matters to his suc- 
 I c(;s.sor as Prov. Secy., be taken into 
 account. Bills upon this subject 
 were cairied through the House by 
 Mr. H. in l87S, 1881, 18H4, 1887 and 
 1888. These I'.cts were all in the 
 direction of pioviding severei' penal 
 ties tor infractions <jf the law , for its 
 better enforcement, and to ])rovide 
 for the enforcement of the ' I)unkin ' 
 and ' Scott ' acts as well. Space does 
 not permit giving the details of these 
 .several enactments. SuHice it to say 
 that during Mr. H.'s long term of 
 the license law dept. no attack was 
 ever made upon his admn. that did 
 not meet with instant rejily and 
 satisfac-toiy explanation liills giv-

 Coninr. of C'rown Lands. His legis-

 work in the nhanties in the cutting I 
 of timber shall have a lien U}»on tlu; 
 logs cut for their wages, and an easy 
 remedy is provided by means of the 
 Div. and Dist. Cts. This bill has 
 since been extended to all tiie new 
 dists. An act for the pr()teetion of 
 Provl. fisheries, eom[)rehensivc in 
 its character within tlie jurisdiction 
 of the Province, was also passed in 
 1892. Perhaps no more imjtortant 
 measures, howevesr, }»ave l)een con- 
 sidered than those rtilating to mines 
 and mhiing which were dealt with 
 in 1890, 1891 and 1892. In the latter 
 year the amendments made in 1S91 
 and 189*2 were incorporated into a 
 general act with other amendments 
 and the whole act consolidated. 
 >Si»me of these amendment.s are of 
 the first importance and were in the 
 interest of the explorer and the 
 t)perator, and tended to facilitat(i j 
 the development of the mining in- | 
 tei-ests of the Province. A liureau \ 
 of iVlines was established, aminin)um i 
 quantity of mining lands which ma;y I 
 be sold by the Crown was reduced ' 
 from 80 to 40 acres, and the oy)tion i 
 of taking lands or lease instead of i 
 l)y purcihase as theretofore was given 
 to purchasers. The duty of per- i 
 forming certain development work j 
 tt) the vahi<; of about $5 per acre j 
 within a limited tinie imposed upon j 
 purchasers of mining lands and the i 
 right to stake out niinnig claims was ' 
 also granted. A royalty was ini I 
 posed upon certain mines nnd power 
 given to the Lt.-Gov. in (Council to ; 
 impose a royalty upon others. Mr. 
 H. afterwards introduced a bill to 
 postpone the royalty clauses during 
 
 tl»o present period of raining de 
 prii.ssion cau.sed by the financial 
 Htringeniiy in the U. fS. and tlie 
 closing (h)wn of many mines and 
 mining industries there. iSul)je(;t to 
 this the law is looked upon as one of 
 the best mining laws in existence.

 where his laboins were abundantly 
 successful. In 1887 the (i.ivt. of 
 P. K. I., having noteil the suetess 
 which attended Dr. H.'s work in St.

 position of Snpt. of Kducation in

 when he |)idposed to carry out 
 this intention, strong efforta were 
 put forth to induce him to stay, the 
 result being that he remained in

 last of which he held the position of 
 Prof, in the Amalgamated Normal

 HARRINGTON, Bernard Jamos, 
 
 educationist, was b. at St. Andrews, 
 P.Q., where his father's family have 
 resided for several generations, 
 Aug. 5. 1S48. Owing to weak eye- 
 sight, fro/ii which he suffered wliile 
 a boy, he spent little time fit sch., 
 and received his elementary cd. 
 chiefiy from pri\'ate teachers. Later, 
 he matriculated at McClill Univ., 
 and graduated B. A., taking 1st 
 rank honours in Natural Science 
 and the Logan gold medal, 1809. 
 
 He then cuntinueti his .stuilies in the 
 Shetliehl SeientiHi' Sdi. of Yale 
 ('oil.. New Haven, Conn., wh«'re 
 he remained as a |M)flt-graduate 
 student for twr) yrs. , devoting his 
 attention principally to ('hemisfry. 
 Mineral, and Mi'tal., and at tlw end 
 of that time graduated with dm 
 tinction as Ph. I)., olttaining also the 
 prize in Mineral. Ih. H. took as 
 the sul>je<t for his thesis the " Sie 
 mcnsMartin process for the pro 
 duel ion of steel." Shortly after tins 
 Principal (now Sir J. W. ) Dawson 
 was apptd. by th«; (Jov. of P. K. \. 
 to examine that Province and re- 
 port upon its economic resounes, 
 especially as to the possibility of 
 finding coal on the island, and l)r. 
 H. was selected as bin asst. The 
 results of this survey are to lie found 
 in a report pulilisbcfl by the Govt. 
 In 1871, Dr. H. wasapj)td. Lecrturer 
 in Mining and Chemistry at McOill 
 l.'niv., aiul the following year 
 (;rosseil the AtJant ic and spent sev 
 eral niths. in the principal mining 
 and manufacturing centres of the 
 Mother (yountry. On his return he 
 was apptd. Chemist and Mineral, to 
 the (ieol. Survey, which position had 
 been just n:nd«Med va(;ant by the 
 resignation of Dr. T. Steirv Hunt. 
 The Survey was at that time located 
 in Montnsal, and for the following 
 7 yrs. Dr. II. discharged the duties 
 of both positions. In 187!>, increased 
 duties at the Univ. obliged him to 
 resigii his connection with the Sur 
 vey. Since that time his attention 
 has been dovt)t(Ml exclusively to 
 Univ. work, the rapid growth of 
 Mc(4ill Coll., and especially the 
 greatly increased number of stu 
 dents in the Faculty of Applied 
 Science, necessitating every yeai 
 more extended courses of instruc- 
 tion. In 1883, ho was apptd. David 
 fireenshields' Prof, of (^liemistry and 
 Mineral., retaining at the same time, 
 the position of Lecturer 111 Mining 
 and Metall. This latter position, 
 however, he retired from in 1891.

 contributions to science, ospocially 
 in the domain of Can. mineral. A

 friend, Miss Adair, mIio is well 
 (|ualitied to sjxiak in the premises, 
 refers in the Kinxienjarto) Xe.irs, 
 Springfield, to the success attending 
 her efforts in the capital of Ont. ; 
 "The rapid extension of the kinder- 
 garten throughout Ont. and the 
 IJom. of Can, has been mainly due 
 to her ability and enterprise. Her 
 appt. to the position of Provl. 
 Inspr. of Kindergartens, 1890. gave 
 (ui(ied opportunities for furthering 
 tlie cause so dear to her heart, and 
 it is not too much to say, tliat from 
 the great lakes of Ont. to the Pacific 
 coast, wherever the Kindergarten 
 has gained a foothold. Miss H.'s in- 
 tluence and the inspiration of her 
 life have gone with it ; awd Can 
 kindergarteners speak her name whIi 
 pride an<l gratitvule." In the yi-ar 
 1892 she left Can., and after a year 
 in the Noimal Kindergarten, at Mil 
 
 ntimismatist, is the s. of the late 
 Adolphus M. Hart, advocate and 
 author, and was b. in Montreal, Mch. 
 26, 1S49. Ed. there, in N. Y. and 
 at Three Rivera, he gave himself to 
 a business career, and is at present 
 (ienl. Mangr. of the Phtenix Fire 
 IiLS. Co., Montreal. A» a numis- 
 matist he formed several valuaVile 
 collections of coins, one of whi(^h ho 
 sold to tlie J)oni. (iovt., Ottawa, 
 1880, for $'2,.J00 ; two others he sohl 
 l>y auction m N. Y. He has also 
 formed valuable collections of paper 
 money and autographs. Mr. H. was 
 oneoftheearliestmems. of thcNumis. 
 and Antiq. Soc. , Mi>ntre.al,and became 
 a life mem. of that body. Ho like- 
 wise assisted in fo»m<liiig the Soc. 
 of Historical Studies, of which he 
 was elected Presdt. In addition to 
 being the author of numerous papers, 
 read before this Soc, he has pub- 
 lished in book form, "The Fall of 
 
 waukee, Wisconsin, she accepted the j New France"; '^Rebellion Notes 
 import/jint position which she now " 
 
 holds (1897) as I)ir. of the Training 
 Sch. of the Baltimore Kin<lergarteii 
 Assn. "No one," says the paper 
 from which we have already quoted, 
 " could be better suited to pioneer a 
 great cause than Miss H. With a 
 hrm belief in humanity, and the 
 power of the kimlergartcn to form 
 and enlarge indivi<Jual character, 
 and eventually to elevate the masses, 
 her spirit is held above petty dia 
 tractions and disappointments, and 
 the work goes steadily on. Although 
 only the second year since its organi- 
 zation, greatly increased accom- 
 modation has been found nt;cessary. 
 Th(! outlook at present is very en- 
 couraging, and what the future may 
 bring remains for a later time to 
 tell." Since the above was written 
 wo learn that it is arranged that Miss 
 U. is to take a prominent part in 
 the lecture course of the Kindergar- 
 ten Aaan. in connection with C-olum-

 Ill iHd.'i, after having raised a co. for 
 'j'Tvii e during the wai-, he took the 
 - 11' y of the North -Western Packet 
 (.'o., and continued in that position 
 until the consolidation of the North- 
 western and Davidson lines, 1867. 
 From the latter ycjir to 18(19 ho waa 
 engaged in the general transporta- 
 ti(/n ami fuel business, and waa the 
 agent ami consignee of the .St. Paul 
 and acilic Ry. Co. In 1869 
 the lirm of Hills, <iriggs ft (^'o. was 
 formed to carry on this buHinesH, 
 and <ontiiiued in operation till 1876. 
 In 1870 Mr. H. established the lied 
 River Transportation Co. , and open- 
 ed up for the first time regular and 
 direct comiiuinication between St. 
 Paul and Fort (Jarry, now Wiiini

 obtained possession of the road, and 
 •Mr. H. was made its Mang. -Dir. 
 t)iit of this sprang the organization, 
 composed mainly of the siinie par-

 Pac. Ry. In 1883 he sold out his 
 interest in the Can. Pac. Ry. to his 
 as.sociates, retired from the direc- 
 torate, and from that time has de-

 tlie interior of the Lahracinr penin- 
 sula, reaching, by Moisio River, 
 the Bourcea of the rivers which flow 
 from the great I^brador j)Iatean to 
 Hudson Bay, the North-east At- 
 lantic and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 
 In his published account of these 
 undertakings Prof. H. describes for 
 the first time the extent and char- 
 acter of the Can. fi.sheriea. Re- 
 signing his professorship, 1804, he 
 next undertook a preliminary geol. 
 survey of N. B., for the Govt, of 
 that l^rovince. In 1866 he removed 
 to N. S., and siibseijuently made an 
 examination of the gold (lists, there 
 for the local govt. In 1876 he made 
 an exploration of the mineral field 
 in the uorth-euatern portion of Nfd., 
 and X/iienco on the Atlantic Coast of 
 Labrador, nearly as far north as 
 Nain, or abo\it 350 miles north of 
 the Straits of Belle Isle. While 
 thus engaged he discovered and 
 mapped an extensive series of cod 
 banks, stretching for severnl hun- 
 dred miles north-west of Belle Isle, 
 and about 20 or 30 Miles from the 
 coast line. At the close of 1876 his 
 services were secured by the Nfd. 
 Govt, to examine and i-eport on the 
 newly dis(!overed cod banks, as far 
 as Hudson's Straits, but just before 
 sotting out for this duty, he was 
 called to Halifax to assist in the 
 scientific portion of the work before 
 the Fisheries Comn. , then meeting 
 there under the provisions of the 
 Treaty of Washington. He re- 
 mained at Halifax until the close of 
 the arbitration, when all the docu- 
 ments and records )i proceedings 
 on both sides were place'd in his 
 hands for analysis and indexing. In 
 1878 he prepared for the Paris 
 Exposn. a series of (diarts illustra- 
 ting the movements of fish in the 
 North Am. waters during summer 
 and winter, the spring and f 
 spawning grounds of the lierring, 
 the coastal movements of the cod, 
 etc., for which he was awarded a 
 gold inotlal and diploma. Prof. H. 
 was od. of the Can. Jonrnnl, the 
 organ of the Can. Inst., 1852-55.

 others: "Prize Essay on Insects 
 and Diseases Injurious to the 
 Whe^t Crops" (1857); "Narrative

 HOLMES, Simon Hugh, public of-

 30, 1831, ho was ed. at Pictou Acad., 
 and was called to tho bar, 1804. He 
 likewise engaged in JouriialiHm, and 
 was ed. and prop, of tho Colonial 
 Standard (Pictou) for 20 yrs. A 
 Lib. -Con. in politics, he unsuccoas- 
 fully contested Pictou for tho N. 8. 
 Assembly in that interest, g.o. 1807. 
 He was first returned, g. o. 1871, 
 and continued to hold the seat until 
 his retirement from political life, 
 Miiy 23, 1882, in consecjuonce of his 
 appt. as Prothy. and Clk. of tiic 
 Crown for tho Co. Halifax. Ho was 
 created a Q. C. by tho Marquia of 
 Lorno, 1880, and Wcas Premier of 
 N. S. from Oct., 1878, to May, 1882. 
 Mr. H. favours the N. P. on fair 
 trade lines. The country, he thinks, 
 ought to be engaged in the indus- 
 tries for which it is adapted by 
 nature, and all these ]jrotected 
 ag'iinst unfair competition, eape 
 cially as to markets, so that all com- 
 petitors may bo on an equal footing. 
 Occupations, or industiies to which 
 a country is not adapted by nature, 
 climate, or facil.''.v of jjroduction, 
 are time and money wasted, and do 
 not come within the legitimate 
 sphere of the operations of a true 
 national policy. This, in his opin- 
 ion, is the essence of true political 
 economy. Facilities for transpor- 
 tation, and all the best and latest 
 improvements in everything, ought 
 to De adopted, and these be aided 
 by the best education in science, 
 literature and art, always aiming at 
 tho very highest position attainable 
 as a nation in religion and morality, 
 
 as well OH social relations. A Prusb.

 was Supt. of the Doui. Tel. (Jo. at

 contributed by him to " Puck's (Jir

 recounts some of the leading ft'atures 
 of his present charge- -a charge 
 which has been the means of work- 
 ing a revolution in the commercial 
 lite of all parts of (Jan. <luring the past 
 10 yrs. " In former days the (Jrcat 
 N. W. Tel. ('o. had undisputed con 
 trolof the entire telegraphic business 
 of Can. , and so g'eat was the power 
 that it exercised tor goixl or for evil 
 that people began to seriously ask 
 themselves whether such exclusive 
 power should not belong alone to the 
 Govt., and be sidjject to )»oi)ular con- 
 trol. As was the case, however, 
 with Eng. railways, so it was with 
 the Can. telegraph system ; relief 
 from the <langer was speedily found 
 in competitiijn. The engrs. who 
 carried the ry. line across the con 
 tinent also took with them the essen 
 tial telegraph line, until in Nov., 
 1885, Can. found that she poPse.ssed 
 not only a great trunk ry. , but also 
 a telegraph system bringing every 
 section of the Dom. into the closest 
 contact, and occupying the almost 
 unique position of being practically 
 operated as a portion of the Can. 
 Pac. Ry. system." But in its

 ing its principles were unanimously 
 adopted by these Ifbdies and ffu- 
 warded to the govts, of the U. 8.,

 HUNTER- DUVAE, Lt.-Col. John, 
 poet, is of Scoto-Eng. Inrth and edu- 
 cation. B. Aug. 29, 1830, he has 
 spent the greater part of his life in 
 Can., and his sentiments and inter- 
 ests are wholly Canadian. He 
 served as Lt.-Col. of the 3rd Bri- 
 gade Halifax (tarrison Arty., later 
 
 held the same rank in command of 
 Prince Co. (P.E.I.) Batt. of active 
 mil., and afterwards, until 1889, 
 was for 10 yr.s. Dom. Inspr. of Fish- 
 eries tor the ProviiKie of P.E.I. He 
 is a .1. P. for his eo. Although an 
 ardent and industrious student, his 
 etlorts at litoi'ary prtnluotion have 
 been desultory rather than systema- 
 tic. Not posing aa a mag. writtsr, 
 many articles of his, critical and ar- 
 tistic, archteologieal, and in poetry 
 and fiction, have found their way 
 into high-class perio<licals here and 
 in Eng. His taste savours of pro- 
 nounced mediievalism, as might, 
 perhaps, be t;xpected in the mem. 
 of a family which does not accept 
 the political latitudinarianism of the 
 times. His writings are well known, 
 especially in the Maritime Pro- 
 vinces. Among the lesser of thtMU 
 are fragments of a lyric poem : " J ohn 
 a'Var his Lais"; translations of 
 " Vaux des Vires," and of an Italian 
 troubadour romance : " The Seven 
 Lays of Lancelot "; the " Moira 
 Encantada"; "On the Tigris"; 
 "The Judgment of Osiris," besides 
 a work of fancy, "Annals of the 
 Court of Oberon,"witli others. His 
 published volumes are : "The En- 
 amoraiio," a drama; "Roberval," 
 a drama ; " Immigration of the 
 Fairies," and " The Triumpli of 
 Con.stancy," a romaunt ; "Fin de

 reached a third edition ; " What | 
 to Believe" (1870), and was a con- I 
 tributor to the ikilcutfa liev. For 
 many yrs. he had entertained doubts 
 regarding tlie correctness of ortho- ' 
 dox doctrines, and gave much atte*^ i 
 tion to Oriental religions. In Prin., 
 Albert, retired from the active 
 ministry through force of circum- 
 atanoes, he investigated freely llu; 
 origins of Christianity, resulting in 
 conviiitions that Presb. and othci- 
 branches of tiie Cath. Ch. are far 
 removed from Primitive Christianity 
 in con8e(iiience of interpolation of 
 mythological and other corruptions 
 from the lower grades of heathen- 
 ism. This conviction led to his re- 
 questing the Presby. to strike his 
 name off tho list of ministers, not 
 wishing to occupy a false ))osition. 
 He then went to Chicago and atlili- 
 ated with the " Am. Congress of 
 Lib. Religious Socs.," where he is 
 now working, being pastor of the 
 Ch. of our Father there. The Con- 
 gress referred to was the outcome of 
 the Parlt. of Ueligions, held in 1893, 
 and is likely, he thinks, to lead to a 
 very important progressive niovo- 
 nient of religious thought and life.

 B. in Toronto. May 31, 1854, he 
 received the earliei- part of bin 
 edu'jation at U. C Coll., and at 17 
 was sent away for a year's travel, 
 his father judging thia to be more 
 profitable than a univ. eimrse. After 
 seeing lOurope. and passing a winter 
 ill Italy, the s. vi.sileil various orien- 
 tal countries, and at his return li.id 
 perhaps travelled more widely than 
 any other Can. His fiist ell'oit in 
 literature; " Letters from Fast Lon- 
 gitudes," was conipihxl from letters 
 written while in tlic Fast, to his par- 
 ents. It was deflicated, by permis- 
 sion, to the Farl of hufferin, then 
 <lov. (;enl. of Can., who showed tint 
 beginner a good (h^al of fa\our, anil 
 nuich prai-sed its des(rrii»tions of 
 Jeru.salem and the Holy Land. 
 From 1875 to 1880, Mr. J. tiM)k

 Sir O. Movvat, and wlu-n (tailed to 
 the bar pas.sed second among 40 
 comp«ititors. For many yrs. a mem. 
 of the Royal Can. Yacht Club, the stu- 
 dies of law and yachting were m.wlo 
 together, in his usual divisicm of 
 outdoor and indtjor work ; ami he 
 was afterwards given the command 
 of numerous yachts in the annual 
 and international regattas — among 
 which were the ve3.sels of Commo- 
 dore Roswell, who preferred him to 
 a professioiml. Niagara Falls, Ca i., 
 was chi>sen as the town in which to 
 eonnnenee his [uaetice. and h»; s H)n 
 appeared as counsel in some im >or-

 During the next 9 yrs. he wa.s 
 twice sent to Eng. to arrange .settle-

 His pr.ictice, however, lay ohierty in

 The '2nd 
 Can. The 
 
 Hcone is laid in Toronto, and the 
 Itook ia partly a study of heriMlily, 
 dealing witli the riglitH, wrongs and 
 tragedies of different pt:'(jple whu, as 
 tlie ("liicago 'J'imes naya, " are not 
 noveliHts' creations, but the real men 
 and women we live among, and 
 wiioiii we gr<»w to know as we know 
 onr own lnothers and .si«ter8."' By 
 the Am. press tl(i3 leviowHColleeteJ) 
 the author was guessed at diflerent- 
 ly, owing to the variety of detail in 
 tiic book, lie was Huggcsted to be 
 a l)aiiker, a detective, a " society 
 jnan," a " science prof e8.soi', " and a 
 lawyer, while all seem to (\^iec that 
 he was a yachtsman. As t Tiis novel 
 was written for amustmient during 
 od«l hours, its success suggestc<l 
 that works of fancy were really 
 plea.H<vnter than addressing juries ; 
 and in 1891, Mr. J. moved to N. Y. 
 to take uji tiie life of letters. 
 Here he held the yachting eilitor- 
 ship of two paiM!is, and contrilaited 
 to various mags. A lio.ston pulili 
 cation, whicli pays the largest prices 
 in Am., accepted II of iiis stories, 
 and in the year of the Worlds Fair 
 he produccfl his second novel : " Doc- 
 tor I'enlue," which took the ijillOilO 
 prize in (Jhicago. Thi«i was in some 
 respects a seipiel to " GeotlVey 
 Hampstead," in which the leading 
 character provideil a study of ti>c 
 mixture of good and evil in one 
 |Mjrson~liis riner points not, iiow- 
 over, saving liim from penitentiary 
 in the end: and in *' l>octor I*erdue 
 is shown the same man aft(;r tiic 
 chastening of grief and solitude had 
 brought to the front the ol>sciircd 
 nobility of his nature. In the two 
 books, taken together, it was the 
 author's wish to suggest that much 
 may be hoped for, even in men who 
 fall so very far from grace as Hamp- 
 stead. Mr. .T.'s next work, "The 
 Ascent of Life," was pulilished in 6 
 serial articles in the Arena mag., 
 and was afterwards issued in book 
 form. It commences l»y reciting 
 ])ersonal experiments in mesmerism, 
 where various patients exhibited a 
 clairvoyance, which wa^ tested to 
 prove with scientific certitude thiit 
 
 the human Iteing contains faculties 
 '■apable of obtaining knowledge in 
 chainiela <ither than those of the 
 ordinary live senses. The reality 
 and completenesH of this tliought 
 transference h.as been proved before, 
 but the point dwelt upon by the 
 Theosophical Soc. in adopting this 
 work as one of their aids is the 
 way the trnths thus oi>tained are 
 continued towards exphiining the 
 advance of all natural life into 
 iiigher gradi^s. Into the ap^MMidix 
 is placed a large < ollection of re- 
 ported med. cases whicth exhibit 
 the extraordinary etTecfs of mental 
 impression.s and shocks upon the 
 embryo— to assist in showing the 
 formative, and in all ways fateful 
 power of strong desires, or ideals, 
 or shocks to alter the form and 
 al)ilities of the coming oH'siiring 
 when such mental conditions are 
 present in the parent duii;«g gesta- 
 tion. In the human being Hie iin- 
 provements efl'ecteci by the gradual 
 advancing of the ideals are carefully 
 traced, and the same princijilcs an<I 
 
 1)rocesseH in regard to prenatal in- 
 luenix's are shown to affect the 
 evolution of all living creatures, 
 from the lowest upwards. The 
 At'enn says: " Stinson Jarvis has 
 bridged the gap at which Darwin 
 was halted, and by extending scien- 
 tific methods into the examination of 
 more imniatiJiial pro esses has given 
 an ai<l and new vL^t \ to the study of 
 evolution which have eatalilished 
 his name in the realm of lasting 
 and valuable literature"; "The 
 Ascent of Life " was issued early 
 in 181U, tlie author sj>ending the 
 remainder of the year in Paris and 
 London, where his works had made 
 him friemls in the artistic (ommu- 
 nity. From here he jniblished, in 
 N. Y., his last novel, "She Lived 
 in New York." Mr. J. is now 
 dramatic ed. of an old-established 
 N. Y. publication. If the following 
 of letters has necessitated a rather 
 cosmopolitan existence, wo are sure 
 from his writing that with him Kng. 
 will always be his country and Can. 
 his home. Hem. May, 1881, Annie,

 tionary war. S. of Geo. Keefer, a 
 U. K. Loyalist, by his wife, Jane, dau. 
 of Kdward MoBride, who represented 
 the t(,'Wn of Niagara in the Parlt, of 
 U. G. , he was born at Thorold, Out., 
 Nov. 4, 1821, and received his ed. at 
 U. C. Coll. At 17 he commenced his 
 cai'eer as an engr. , being first em- 
 ployed on tlie Erie Canal. Trans- 
 ferring his services, soon afterwards, 
 to the Welland Canal, he remained 
 connected with that work until 1845. 
 lie was then engaged to take the 
 chief position in connection with the 
 Ottawa River works, the principal 
 object being to facilitate the im- 
 mense lumber trade of that river 
 and its tributaries. He carried on 
 these works up to 1849, designing 
 iniportant improvements which are 
 in use to this day, and giving evei'y 
 satisfaction to those inten^sted. In 
 1849 he produced liis "Philosophy 
 of Railways," a work which had an 
 immediate influence on the policy of 
 the Govt, in respect to the construc- 
 tion of railways in Can. In the fol- 
 lowing year, he won Lord Elgin's 
 prize for the best essay on "The 
 InfluencG of the Canals of Can. on 
 her Agric Itui-e," and in this was 
 the first to advocate a moderate sys- 
 tem of protection such as would 
 develop native industries in his 
 native country. He has subseijuently 
 published various other essays, lec- 
 tures, reports and papers, a full list 
 of which is given in the " Bibliog- 
 rai)hy of the Roy. Soc. of Can.," of 
 which body he was elected a Fellow, 
 1891, and of which he was elected

 service of the Govt., ISoO, he was 
 
 employed in making a survey of the 
 rapids of tlie St. Lawrence, with a 
 view to their improvement, also in 
 examining the river below Quebec 
 for a Harbour of Refuge, and in ex- 
 ploring routes with a view to the 
 building of a canal or ry. between 
 the St. Lawrence and the Upper St. 
 John waters of Lake Temiscouata. 
 Later, he assisted I. D. Andrews, an 
 ai'dent advocate of reciprocity with 
 the U. S., in the preparation of his 
 reports on the trade of B. N. A., 
 which reports had an important in- 
 fluence in seeming the Reciprocity 
 Treaty of 1854. ()n the termination 
 of this work, he was engaged in 
 making preliminary surveys for the 
 Gnuid Trinik Ry. between Montreal 
 ami Toronto. At the same time he 
 made a report and prepared plans as 
 to the feasibility of bridging the St. 
 LaAvrence River at Point St. Charles, 
 Montreal. The result of this was the 
 construction of the Victoria Bridge, 
 which was midertakenon the survey 
 and report of Mr. K. At a later 
 period, he was employed in con- 
 structing water-woiks for the cities 
 of Montreal, Hamilton, Ottawa and

 KEEOAN, Hiss Mary, actress, is 
 the (luu. of the late (jleo. W. Kee- 
 gan, barrister, Hamilton, Ont., and 
 a grand-dau. of the late \)r. Thos. 
 Keegan, a native of Irel., who re- 
 moved to U. C. from Halifax, N.8., 
 1S33. B. in Hamilton, Ont., Misa 
 K. was ed. at the Convent in Belle- 
 ville, and afterwards at the Sa- 
 cred Heart, Montreal. At an early 
 age she showed marked diamatic 
 ability, and as a consequence felt a 
 strong desire to lulopt the stage as 
 a profession. Her friends did not, 
 however, at once approve of the 
 idea, and before any definite con- 
 clusion was reached, Miss K. was 
 sent to France for the purpose of 
 completing her education. In Paris 
 she was placed und<n' the care of M. 
 and Mme. de I'Aubiniere, the well- 
 known dm. painters, who enter- 
 tained a strong friendship for her. 
 They were both convinced that her 
 talents lay in the direction of the 
 stage, and, acting on their advice, 
 her mother fin.dly consented to her 
 becoming an actress. She soon 
 after went to Eng. and made her 
 first appearance at the Theatre 
 Royal, Margate, with Sarah Thome's 
 stock CO. She be<!aiiie leading lady 
 of this organization, and oppor- 
 tunity favouring her, she sultse- 
 quently went to London and made 
 her debut there at the Royalty 
 Theatre in a duologue, called "Make 
 Beliefs," an adaptation from the 
 Danish of Btsnzon. Froni thiw time 
 she appeared in many paits, at the 
 same time continuing her studies 
 with great application. Her first 
 public success was as Polly Fletcher, 
 an original r6lv in tlie Am. play, 
 "A Lost I'aradise." Then she 
 achieved increased distinction in the 
 loading emotional part in the same 
 play, that of Margaret Knowlton, 
 the two assumptions affording a good 
 
 range of her versatility. Her next 
 important r6le. was that of Blanche 
 Trenuiine in "The Black Cat," by 
 Dr. Todhunter, a play that re- 
 ceived the conlirmaticju of the Ind. 
 Theatre Soc, of London. As tlie 
 adventuress of the piece, Miss K. 
 gained nothing but praise for a 
 charming jrhu tni) al of a very diffi- 
 cult part. Miss K. has since made 
 a tour in Eng. with one of Beerbohm 
 Tree's cos., and in Oct., 1895, ap- 
 peared in London again, where she 
 scored a success as (irace Roseberry 
 in "The New Magdalen." She is 
 still (1897) in Ewg.—HamUlon, Ont.

 Winnipeg Sun. He is widoly known 
 HH llie author of many olevor sougn 
 and of |)atriotic and humorous verse, 
 written iui<ler the nom d>- plume of 
 "The Rhan." C])ief aniona hi.s 
 poeniH are the " Men of the Jsorth-

 iTUUsic; " Canada Fir.st"; the "Fron- 
 tier Way"; " Ya-lioiik "; "The 
 W\abagoon"; "All Night Long"; 
 " Peepy," etc. These appeared 
 originally in the World, Ti fe(/ram 
 and (iIoIh , 'J'oronto, and have since 
 been included in a volume from 
 his pen puhlislHid in 1896 witli the 
 title: "The Khan's Canticles." It 
 was the opinion of the late Sir John. 
 MaedonaM that if Can. over went 
 to war our soldiers would niareh 
 to battle flinging the " Men of the 
 Northb*-n Zone. ' The wifle popu- 
 larity ')f some of "The Khans" 
 poems was attested by tlio late Mr. 
 iilain'^, Am. Secy, of State, who, 
 in iiitroducing him to a friend, 
 <lid HO in these terms : " This is the 
 youTig Canuck who a hundred years 
 hence will be known to fame as tlie 
 author of ' When Daddy comes 
 home with his' wages!'" "The 
 Khaii " has likewise published "The 
 Tattleton Papers " ( 1894). The ori - 
 gin of his nom de plume is given as 
 follows : At a ball given by some 
 French-Can. frien<ls, he was intro- 
 duced to a young lady who found it 
 difficult to pronounce his name. 
 She naively said she would break 
 the name in two and pronounce one- 
 half of it at a time, and so, for the 
 rest of the evening, she called him 
 "M'sieur Khan." A nov/apaper 
 man, overhearing Mr. K. so ad- 
 dressed, readily accepted the name 
 on hig behalf, and, on the following 
 day, attached it to one of his bal- 
 latls in the Toronto World. It 
 stuck. Mr. K. was born a faimer, 
 and is fond of tree planting. In 
 politics, he is a Con., but he believes 
 only in Can. He is inimical to no 
 one but, tli<^ annexationist. He be- 
 lieves (hat the ilay is not far distant 
 wlien liberty, literatiu-e and virtue, 
 civilization and religion, and the 
 arts and sciences will find their 
 
 only asylum among " the men of the 
 Nortliern Zone." The only otiice 
 he lias ever filled is that i>f vestry

 minent clergymen, but also well- 
 known business men. His eld. bro. , 
 David Marshall Lang, was for many 
 yrs. mangr. of tiie Bank of Brit. 
 Columbia at Victoria, V.L,aiidone 
 of the most popular men who ever 
 held a pulilic position in that part 
 of the I)om. Another older luo. is 
 11. Hamilton Lang, C.M.M., of t)ie 
 Daira-Sanieh, Cairo, controller of 
 the lands in Egypt held by the lirit. 
 tiovt. in secxu'ity for mom / hint to 
 the l\.hc<live, and previously mangr. 
 of the Imp. Ottoman Bank at, suc- 
 cessively, Cyprus, Alexandria, Bu- 
 charest and Omstantinople. Alex. L. 
 was in early life <^/>nnected witli tlu^ 
 firm of (ialbraitl, i/a'ziel & Co., 
 'rlasgow and Raiigmn, at which lat- 
 ter city he remaini "1 until 1871, 
 Avhen he returned houi.^ invalided. 
 After recruiting' his health in Scot , 
 ho took a voyage to ('an. on a visit 
 to his bro., Rev. (Javiri Lang (7.''.), 
 Montreal. Wliile there, he accepted 
 a post in the Bank of Montreal. Not 
 long aftcrwanls he became the repre- 
 sentative of the bank at (Jhicago, 
 going from there a few yrs. sid)se- 
 quently, to be joint agent with 
 Walter Watson at N. Y. In 1892 
 he became one of the nuingrs. at the 
 head ortice, Montreal. In the same 
 year the importance of the London 
 (Eng. ) agency was greatly increased 
 by the Can. (Jovt. establishing a new 
 and (!h)ser financial connection with 
 the Bank of Montreal ; and in the 
 altered circumstances, a rearrange- 
 ment of the statTat that metropolitan 
 agency was desirable. It was felt 
 that tiic.stnmgest available a»lminis- 
 trator should be sent there, and this 
 waB done by the selection of Mr. L.

 and, on tlie death of hia father 5 yrs.

 In 1870, u\\ the deatli of the Rev.

 fi'red and accepted the pastorate 
 <if St. An(hcw's Ch.. Montreal,

 oiii' of the oldest I'rot. chs. i , (Jan., 
 and lias always held its connection 
 with the Ch. of Scot. It ia also 
 among the wealthiest and most in- 
 ihiential chs. in the Dom. Over 
 tiiis parish he presided for 12 yrs. 
 From its formation, he was hon. 
 St 'v. of the Dom. Kva"gel. Alliance. 
 Aitlio'igh an ardent Scottish chureh- 
 man, i>Ir. L. was so eminently 
 catiiolic as to take part in what 
 concerns the Christian life and work 
 of all chs. in Montreal. He was 
 iicknowledged hy all to be the chief 
 proiiiutei and moving spirit )f the 
 } L an<l only Evangel. Alliance 
 Conf. in Can.,\hat held Oct., 1874. 
 On Moh. 22, 1882, Mr. L. was 
 ofTered, by cablo, the presentation 
 to Olio of the coll, charges of the 
 united parish of Inverness and 
 Bona, Scot. That pnrish, which 
 covers a territory of 16 miles long, 
 and includes the town of Inver- 
 ness, has 3 such charges, wliile there 
 are only 1 kirk session and 1 com- 
 numion roll. The living of 2 of 
 
 these ia derived .solely from the 
 tithe.s or teinda, Mr. L.'s ciiargo 
 being 1 of the 2, and more valuable 
 than either oi the other two. It 
 is one of the prizes of tiie Ch. of 
 Scot. N<itwitlistaiiding, it was with 
 considerable sainitice, as well as 
 hesitaticjii, that, to tlie great sorrow 
 of his attached llock in Montreal, 
 he felt it his duty to acc»nt the 
 wholly unsolicited offer. Before 
 h-aving Can., a public lueakfast was 
 given to him and Mrs. L. in the 
 Windsor Hottl, Montreal. The 
 Mayor, Dr. (now ^ir Wm. ) Hing-

 His (irace, the late Archb)). Fabre, 
 Rev. E. Wood, and many more, 
 sent, privately, jiarting gifts. The 
 cong. of St Andrew's Ch. held a 
 reception, jiresided over by Sir 
 Hugh Allan, at which Mr. L. was 
 presented with a " sheaf " of ad 
 dresses from the East End Mission 
 and tho various societies connected 
 with the ch. , as also a beautiful 
 casket containing 
 An influential do- 
 St. Patrick's Soc. 
 upon him ami eon 
 veyed from that body a handsomely 
 framed address, coueherl in the most 
 cordial and appropriate terms. H. E. 
 the Maniuis of Lome, K.T., then 
 Gov. (Jenl. of Can., personally, in an 
 interview, expressed his desire for 
 Mr. L.'s hajipiness and success in 
 Inverness. So, loaded witn loving 
 tokens and good wislies appreciative 
 of his 12 years' life and labour in 
 Can., Mr. Lang was, on June 27, 
 1882, indu(;te(i into his nev parish 
 of Inverness. The occasion was sig- 
 nalized socially by a public dinner, 
 attend "d by the Provost and Magis-

 Martinoau. 15. at St. Lin, Nov. 20, 
 1841, ho received lii.H early education 
 at a mixe<l seh. in his native parish. 
 I^ater, ho took a full olassieaj (;our.se 
 at L'AssoHiption Coll. In I8()() he 
 })ogan the «tudy of huv in Monti'oal 
 in the office of the late Hon. R. 
 Laflannno, Q.C, afterwards Mr. of 
 Justice of ('an. and one of his 
 ministerial colh^aguos at Ottawa. 
 He followed tho law course at Mc- 
 (Jill Univ. (ii.C.L., 1864), and was 
 called tf) the bar the same year. 
 His first apjtearance in com-t is said 
 to have oli<;itod the mo-st favomablo 
 comments from the presiding judge. 
 After practising for 3 yrs., however, 
 his health gave way, and he was 
 advised to seek eoinitry air. He 
 went to L'Avenir, E.T., where hv 
 as.sumod the editoishii) of Lc Dt- 
 J'riche.iir, a Reform joiu'nal pre- 
 viously conducted by J. B. K. Dorion 
 ("L'Knfant Torril)lo"). With the 
 restoration of his liealtli, he opened 
 a law otHoo at St. Christophe — 
 now Arthabaskaville — wliich had 
 been made the chef lieit of the new 
 judicial (list, of Drummond and 
 Arthabaska. There he contirmed 
 to reside ivp to his removal to 
 (3ttawa as Piimo Minister of Can., 
 I89fi. Always a diligent student, 
 ho became a poweiful and skilful 
 counsel in Ijotli civil and criminal 
 cases, and it was not long before 
 ho succeeded in securing a con- 
 8i(leral)le share of tho legal busi- 
 ness pertaining to that section of 
 tho Province— being aldy assisted in 
 his ofKco by his several partners, 
 one of whom was Edouard Richard 
 (qA\) and another Joseph (now Mr. 
 Justice) Lavergne (q.v.). In ac- 
 knowledgment of his professional 
 
 eminence, ho was created a C^. C 
 by the Maniuis f>f Lome, I8K0. 
 Later, he was included in tlio Koyal 
 Comn , apptd. to revise the Code of 
 Civil Procedure, P. (.i. As a [Kjliti- 
 cian, he lirnt canu) into notice as an 
 aJ4.sociate of Doiioii, liaflamme, Hol- 
 ton, Pajjiii, Laberge and others of 
 tho old Lib. s(;h. in L ('., and his 
 first laurels as a speakcir wisre won 
 in the halls of the lust. Canadien, 
 Montreal, of whicli body he was 
 elected a V.-P. In his maturer 
 years, ho calls himself "a Lib. of 
 tlie Eng. sch." a pupil of Charh's 
 James F»)X, Danl. O'Coiniell, and 
 of the greatest of tliem all, William 
 Ewart (Jlad.stone." He entered 
 active public life, 1871, being then 
 returned to tho Quebec .Assembly 
 for Drummond and Arthabaska i>y 
 a majority of 10<)0 over his Coii. 
 opponent, E. J. Hemming. •' His 
 d"M)ut in the Legislature" says the 
 Toi'onto (illohr, " is said by those* 
 whose meniories go back to that 
 time to have produced a sensation, 
 not more by tho finished grace of 
 his oratorical abilities than by the 
 boldness and authority with which 
 he handled the (lee})est political 
 problems." The effect of " his fluent, 
 cultivated and charming discoiu'se" 
 is described by Frechette, the poet, 
 as magical. " On the following day," 
 he writoH, "tho nameof Laurier was 
 on every lip and all who then heard 
 it will remembcsr how those two 
 syllables, in tlieir heroic auggestivo- 
 neas, rang out true and dear— theii' 
 torus that of a coin of gold, pure 
 from all alloy, and bearing the 
 impress of sterling worth." At the 
 g. e. 1874 he resigned his .^eat ip 
 the Legislature and was returneil by 
 the same constituency to tlie Ho. 
 of Connnons. When Parlt. met he 
 was selected to second the address 
 in roi)ly to the Speech from the 
 Throne, the late Chief-Justice Mo.ss 
 being the mover. His speech on 
 that occasion it has been said marked 
 him for early a})j)t. to the Cabinet. 
 Indeed, David not long afterward 
 pronounced him : " The most re- 
 markable Parliamentary orator now

 liuMt g. e. he wa.s returned for hotli 
 Qnehee Kast and SaHkatchewan, 
 and elected U> sit for his old con- 
 Htituenoy. When tho M.ickeiizio 
 (iovt. was defeated at the polls, 
 1878, Mr. L. had been for fioino 
 3'r«. the aeknoMiod<,'ed lea(h'r of 
 the Lib. party in the I'lovinee of 
 Quebec. He accompanied hiH frieml.s 
 i.,to Opposition, and tlieie for 18 
 yrn. cHlmly awaiterl the diange in 
 political Hcntiment which was to 
 lestore tho reins of power to the 
 iiands of the Lib. party. The 
 (•liiuig<! came at the g. v.. 1890, Mr. 
 b. having then been leader of the 
 Opposition at Ottawa (a |)ot:.itioti 
 whiih with its manifold responsibili 
 ties he li.ad be(>n loth to accept) for a 
 period of 9 yrs. Jn thi.s capacity he 
 is acknoAvledgod to have acijuitted 
 liiiiiself with rare tact and abilitj'. 
 "lie had," says a Avell-knoMn Can. 
 writer, "great difficultioH to sur- 
 momit, amte flid'erences to recon- 
 cile, an<l he had, moro e.specially, to 
 meet and overcome the presumiitions 
 w iiich would naturally l)ar tho way to 
 leadersliip and pnpidarity in thecase 
 of a piibli<! man whose native tongue 
 is French, but who aspires to rule a 
 coinnnuiity predomiiuxntly English, 
 in blood and speech. All this Mr 
 L. ban done successfully ; the influ- 
 ence he had with his immediate po- 
 litical asso(!iates lias been increased 
 by his enlarged acquaintance and 
 prestige among tho people. During 
 the past few yrs. his political ac 
 tivity has been great ; he has ad- 
 dressed very many audiences, some 
 of them in remote parts of the Dom., 
 and his pui>lic utterances have been 
 supplemented by cordial personal in- 
 tercourse with thepcople in the vari 
 ous Provinces. His presence and 
 
 manner are agreeable, and they are 
 
 combinc^d with gieat firmness of will 
 and '(uicknoHH of decision. The ag- 
 gressiveneHH, [x^rsiHtenco and stunly 
 ind('pen<lt!ni'e wliicli marked his 
 course during tht> recent campaign 
 (I81UJ) sliowed the Hternei elementH 
 of character which some of his op- 
 ponents declare<l to be lacking in 
 liim. As a [larty leader and tacti- 
 cian, his jv>litical supporters admit 
 that he has yot to make his first 
 mistake. Many thought that hirt 
 political career was ruined when tho 
 Bishops of Quebec issued their man 
 datt; enjoining tlie Roman Catholics 
 of (hat Province to vote against 
 him on aticount of liis position on 
 the Man. School ([uestion. Becau.so 
 he favoured the conciliation instead 
 of tho coercion of that Province, 
 he was denounced as n traitor to 
 his race, and an enemy of the Ch,; 
 br.t lie remained firm, and the over- 
 whelming majority of his own 
 people (fecliired their faith in him 
 and their resentment of tho atti- 
 tude of tho Bishops. Through his 
 manliness and courage a new and 
 inspiring chapter in the history of 
 French-Can. has b(!en written." Mr. 
 L. was sworn into oflice as Prosdt. 
 of tho Privy Council, July 9, 1896, 
 and on tiie 13th of tno same month 
 had completed his task, the other 
 mems. of his Admn. being sworn in 
 on that day. In fulfilment of his 
 proniKe, while in Opposition, he at 
 onco gave his attention to tho Man. 
 Sell, (juestion, and he was one of 
 a Comte. of Council apptd. in tho 
 autumn to conduct negotiations with 
 several (lelegates from the Man. 
 (iovt. , who were sent to Ottawa to 
 determine on a basis of settlement. 
 Tho report of the delegates witli the 
 subsequent acition taken thereon by 
 the Provl. ( !ovt. and Legislature are 
 matters of histoiy. The question

 wasapptd. by H. E. ,a Grand Officer 
 of tho liegion of Honour. Later, he 
 was received at the Vatican by His

 Sir W. Laurior took a first place 
 everywhere, the London JJaili/ Mail 
 comparing him with some of the 
 foremost Brit, atatoamen, and ex- 
 pressing a wish that it were possible 
 to place him aide by side with them

 "when Can. pride and aspiration 
 would flevolop a claim to demand as 
 a right, their shave in that broader 
 citizenship whi.h embraces t he whole

 is the Palace of Westminster." While 
 in Eng., Sir W. succeeded in hav-

 LEE, James P., inventor, was b, 
 in Hawick, Scot., Aug. 9, 1831 
 Aoconipauying his parent^ to Can., 
 
 1836, he lived until manhood at 
 (jalt, Ont., and Mas ed. there. In 
 IS/il he established himself in 
 Chatham, Ont., as a wat<jhniaker, 
 but subsequently moved to Owen 
 Sound. From an early age ho liad 
 a great fascination for guns and 
 shooting. About 1860, he became 
 the principal of an cstablialunent at 
 Milwaukee, Wis., for the manufac- 
 ture and sale of guns, rifles, and other 
 weapons. This was the conmience- 
 nuiut of his career as an inventor, 
 the vicissitudes of which at times, 
 during the last 25 yrs., have been as 
 romantic as any depicted in fiction. 
 His (irst magazhi'* rifle was taken up 
 by the Remingtons, at Illion, N.Y., 
 Mr. L. superin'-'iiding the produc- 
 tion. It attracted much attention, 
 and sales were made to Roumania 
 and .s(mie other mijioi- States. Con- 
 Mtantly changing and improving it, 
 he fiiuilly got it Ijcfore a tJ. S. Army 
 (A)rate. , of whom Cenl., afterwarfls 
 Presflt. , (iai'fiehl was one. They 
 tested the weapon in every way, re- 
 ported favourably, and one western 
 regt. was equipped M'ith it. But 
 nothing further came of it, the in 
 ventor always contending that all he 
 wanted was money enough to j»ush 
 it through. Still coi:tinuing his im- 
 provements, Mr. L. allied himself 
 with Col. Metford, an Eng. oft'r. , and 
 a few yrs. ago, an Army Conui. in 
 Eng., in search of a magazine ritle 
 for the Imp. forces, selected it as the 
 best from among a large nundier of 
 other weapons submitted for their 
 inspection. " The Lee- Metford " is 
 now the recognizetl weapon of the 
 Brit, army, and has already proven 
 in diirerent parts of the world the 
 rapidity with which it can be Hrefl, 
 and its deadliness even at, long fUs- 
 tances. It has also been adopted by 
 the Govts, of China, Spain, Den 
 mark and Mexicf). Of late yrs. Mr. 
 L.'s home has been at Hartfonl, 
 Conn., but he naturally has been and 
 is a great roamer about the world.

 he was nitatricidated. He graduated 
 from Toronto Univ., 1862, with the 
 degree of B.A. and tlu; gold medal

 upon and teaclier of Physics, indua- 
 ing Heat, Light and Klectricity, 
 Prof. L. stands very high amongst the 
 scientific men of Am., and the fact 
 that he has made several important 
 discoveries in geometrical optics has 
 assisted in placing him in that posi- 
 tion of eminence in the scientific 
 world which he occupies. After ho 
 graduated ho was for 3 yrs. in suc- 
 cession Presdt. of the Lit. and 
 Helen. Hoc. ; later, he was electeil

 MAIR, Charles, poet, is the s. of 
 the late Jas. Mair, a native of Scot., 
 who, coming to Can., became one of 
 the pioneers of the square timber 
 trade on the Ottawa River. B. at 
 Lanark, Ont., Sept. 21, 1840, he was 
 ed. at Perth Gramnuir Sch. and at 
 Queen's Univ., Kingston. He like- 
 wise studied Med. for a time at the 
 last-named institution. An early 
 contributor to the j)rc^;s, on general 
 subjects, he published, in 18(58, a 
 volume, entitled " Dreamland, and 
 other Poems," which the late (J. T. 
 Lanigan pronounced "the tiist book 
 in which a poet had used his own 
 eyes and given his own sights and 
 ideas, and this in language and in 
 fluisic of artistic beauty and of in- 
 dubitable strength. " His second ^ ol- 
 urae "Tecumseh, a Drama" (1886), 
 was an effort in another direction, 
 but "whether the book be considered 
 as poetry, as history, or as a contri- 
 bution to the right understanding 
 
 of the Indian character," it was, in 
 the opinion of W. D. Lo Sueur, "the 
 most important addition which had 
 been made for some years to (Jana- 
 dian letters." Since then Mr. M. has 
 written " The Last Bison," and it is 
 now understood that he has in prepa- 
 ration 2 works of even greater inter- 
 est thiin those already published, 
 viz. : " The Fountain of Bemini " and 
 ' ' The Conquest of Canada. " Mr. M. 
 suffer"! a severe loss during the first 
 Kiel rebellion in the N. W. T., in 
 which he was an active participant 
 on the loyal side, by the destruction 
 by the rebels of many valuable 
 MS. papers belonging to him. Prior 
 to that event he was the correspon- 
 dent, at Fort Garry, of the Mont- 
 real Gazette, and wrote a brilliant 
 series of papers for that journal, 
 called "Canada in th<' Far West." 
 He served throughout the second re- 
 bellion in the N. W. T. as an officer 
 in the G. -G. Body Guard (medal). 
 He lived formerly at Prince All>ert, 
 but subsequently went to the Okan- 
 agan (Jountry, B. C, where he en- 
 gaged in farming. In 1896 he 
 returned to Prince Albert. Mr. M. 
 was one of the f(junders of the " Ca- 
 nada First" party, 1870, and remains 
 of the same way of thinking to this

 .studied law in the office of tJie late 
 Sir (J. K. Cartiur, and was called to 
 the bar, 1809, but has never given 
 himself to the practice of hi^? jjrofe.s- 
 sion. In Aug., 1803, he was apptd. 
 Prig.-Maj. of tho 8tii Mil. Dist. 
 L. C. He held this ottice until after 
 he entered Parlt. , in 1807. In his 
 mil. capacity he sci-ved on the fron- 
 tier during the Fenian raids of 1800, 
 attaining the rank oi It. -col. , 1807.

 ceived valuable training preparatory 
 to their future assumption of active 
 service in t!ie mil. of tlie ccmntry. 
 Shortly after his appt. to tlxo Senate, 
 political affairs in Quebec reached a 
 critical stage. The .split in the Con. 
 ranks became ^i.-.-ii inarked, and the 
 disalTected Ministerialists of the 
 Province handed tiiemsclves together 
 as "Cajtors," and openly opposed 
 the Mousseau ministry with oven 
 jfreater vehemence than did the 
 
 t' 
 
 
 IDS. In the hope of healing the 
 breach, Mr. M. mus called upon to 
 accept the leadership of the local 
 Con. party and form a united niiniy 
 try; liut cuntin-.u>d ill health stood 
 ill the way, and in the follow ing yr. 
 
 all idea of suoh a moans of fusion 
 was brought to an end by his ac- 
 ceptance of the Lt. -Governorship of 
 tlie Province — a position which he 
 held until Oct. '28, 1887, when lie 
 resigned, again owing to ill-health. 
 He was summoned to the Senate for 
 the second time, i'^eb. 3, 1890, and is 
 still a member of that body. In 
 religious faith, he is a R. C, and 
 warmly devoted to the interests of 
 Ms ch. As Lt.-(jov. ho refused to 
 '.uUe the oath to whicli all previous 
 OGcv:nants of tho office were com- 
 pelleu to subscribe, on tho ground 
 that he could not conscientiously, as 
 a K. (;., deny the Popes eccles asti- 
 cal authority as declaied therein. 
 The question was raised in tho Ho. 
 of Commons, and Sir John .Mac- 
 donald, recognizing that such an ob- 
 jection to the oath ought to be 
 met, took steps which subsequently 
 removed the difficulty, it shcmld 
 be mentioned that as a private mem. 
 Mr. M. took strong ground in favour 
 of the granting of an amnesty for 
 political oU'ences committed in Man.

 MEREDITH. 
 
 coding. n. in the Tp. of West- 
 minster, Middlesex, One, Mch. 31, 
 1840, ho was ed. Lhore and at the 
 London Dist. (Grammar Sch. , and 
 graduated LL.B. at Toronto Univ., 
 1872. Ho studioil for hi.s profession 
 under the late Thos. Scatcherd, 
 Q.C., M. P.; was called to the bar, 
 1861 ; and practised for soirio yrs. in 
 partnership with Mr. Scatcherd, 
 his former principal. It is recorded 
 that as a pleader he possessed the 
 analytical faculty to a most unusual 
 degree, and that his great powers 
 in cross-examination, combined with 
 the convincing earnestness of his 
 lanL(uaf'e, poon made him widely 
 known among the moms, of the Ont. 
 bar. He became city solicitor, and 
 a Bencher of the Law Soc. ; was 
 made a Q.,,C. by the Out. Uovt., 
 1875, and had the san)e honour 
 conferred upon him by tiie Marquis 
 of I^rne, I8S0. In "^1888 ho was 
 apptil. an lion. mem. of the Law 
 Faculty of Toronto Univ. In the 
 same year he moved to Toronto, and 
 •was sulise(piently apptil. Corpora- 
 tion Counsel there, and head ot the 
 city's legal dept. in 188J he re- 
 ceived tioni his Alma Mater the 
 hon. degree of LL.l). During his 
 professional career he was engaged 
 in many important cases, both crim- 
 inal and civil, including the mys- 
 terious Biddulph murder case and 
 the McCabe poisoning case, in both 
 of which he specially distingnisheil 
 himself. ?dr. ^L was first elected 
 to the Legislature, 1872, succeeding 
 Mr. (now 8ir) John Carii'.ig, who 
 withdrew from I'rovl. politics, in the 
 repre'jeutation of London. He is 
 said to have inmiediately become a 
 power in the House. Ho took a firm 
 Rcand on the sule of vho working- 
 men, and was one of the fir-st advo- 
 cates of manhood sutTrage, which 
 he took up in 1875. His name was 
 also identified with the legislation 
 by which ^ages to the amount of 
 $21 were exempted from seizure, 
 with the Mech aides' Lien Act, with 
 the Workingm m's Co:ni)on.sation for 
 injuri'j-s Aci with the que.iion of 
 Biennial Parlta. , vaud other measures 
 
 of a similar character. He was 
 elected leader of the Opposition in 
 1878, succeeding the late Sir M. C. 
 Cameron, who was raised to the 
 bench, in that position. His pro- 
 motion was long a foregone conclu- 
 sion, as his colleagues had recog- 
 nizv^d his great strength in the 
 country, and his accurate knowledge 
 of political affairs. Not long after 
 this event the boundary awfird was 
 made, and tiie agitation which im- 
 mediately arose rendered his task 
 a dilHcidt one. The discussion 
 between the p.irties was a heate<l 
 one, and it was endeavoured to cast 
 upon Mr, M. the onus of having 
 supported the claims of tiie Dom. a'^ 
 against those of the Province. He 
 insisted, after the rejection of the 
 award by the Dom. Parlt., that the 
 (piestion be submitted to the Privy 
 Council, and the event ultimately 
 proved his contention to have been 
 correct, and the course ho had pro- 
 posed the only safe one that could 
 have been taken. In the disallow- 
 ance agitation of 1882, he again 
 a})peared to be on the unpopular 
 side. Ho, however, did not hesitate 
 to affirm the conviction that a 
 strong central govt, was vitally 
 necessary to a strong confederation, 
 and to deprecate any efforts on the 
 part of Provl. (tovts. to weaken it 
 for selfish ends. Throughout the 
 reverses he met with at the polls, 
 ho never abandoned this principle. 
 He also took strong ground on the 
 question of educwtion. He enun- 
 ciated the principle that to place a, 
 political head <n'er the Education 
 ])ept. is to make it a political ma- 
 chine, and so greatly lessen its in- 
 lluunce for good. During his last 
 [ campaign he, on many occasions, 
 ] expressed his view.s on this matter. 
 ! He fought for a ballot in the Sep- 
 ] arate schs , and against the exer- 
 ; cising of undue clerical influence in 
 educational niatters. His newspafwr 
 i discussion with Archbp. Cleary at- 
 j tracted wide attention, and to a 
 ! groat extent defined the line of 
 I (deavage between the parties. Hia 
 ; opinion.s in this connection are too

 well known to need repetition here. 
 The last se.ssion he passed in the 
 Legislature was marked by a niun- 
 ber of stirring debates, during which 
 Mr. M. often displayed an inti- 
 macy with the smallest detailH of 
 departmental expenditure, anrl at 
 the aanie time a coniprehonsive 
 grasp of the legislation before the 
 Ho., which astonished even his in- 
 timate friends. In 188.3 he was 
 presented by his party friends in 
 the Legislature with a solid silver 
 service, in acknowledgment of his 
 eminent public services. A more 
 signal tribute to his talents and 
 services was paid by the (iovt. itself 
 in making provision for a salary of 
 $2000 a year to him as leader of the 
 Opposition. This, however, ho de- 
 clined to receive. His Lordship 
 was raised to the Bench as Chief- 
 Justice of the Common Pleas Div. of 
 the High Ct. of Justice of Ont., 
 Oct. 5, 1894. One of the lirst cases 
 tried by him was that of Hender- 
 shott and Welter for murder, both 
 of whom were convicted and after- 
 wards executed. In 1S9.5 he was 
 elected to the Senate of the Uni\;. 
 of Toronto, the vote polled making 
 liim the senior among the elective 
 mems. of the Bd. In 1890 he was 
 apptd, a mem of the comn. for the 
 revision of the l*rovl. Statutes. He 
 is also V.-P. of the National Sani- 
 tarium Assn. As a young man he 
 served for some yrs. as an o(fr. in 
 the London Liglit Infy. He re- 
 ceived the honour of knighthood, 
 1896. Sir William belongs to the

 in favour of (Confederation, but op- 
 
 {>o.sed to tho financial conditions and

 The author of several hrwhure-H on

 ((uestions for the mags, and news-

 London AdvcrliHtr. Many l)eautiful 
 l)oetioal pieces have also emanated 
 from his pen. He M'as electcl a 
 mem. of the Council of I'nblic Inst, 
 of Ont. (representing the Sch. 
 Insprs. in that body), 1875, and on 
 a new facidty of law l>oing estab- 
 lisiied in the Univ. of Toronto, 1888, 
 was chosen to till tiie chair of Con- 
 stitutional and Internl. Law therein, 
 a position ho still retains. In 1897 
 ho was also chosen an Examr. in Con- 
 stitutional Law in the same Univ. 
 He was elected Presdt. of the Star 
 Loan Co., 1890, and Presdt. of the 
 Northern Life Assur. Co., 1890. 
 During the existence of the Mac- 
 kenzie (iovt. , he held the office of Mr. 
 of the Interior in it, from Oct., 187<) 
 till the resignaticm of the Cabinet, 
 Oct., 1878. ' He was called to the 
 Senate, by Lord Aberdeen, Nov., 
 1898, and, on Nov. 12, 1897, entered 
 the Laurier Cabinet as Mr. of Jus- 
 tice, succeeding Sir 0. Mowat in that 
 office. Politically, he is an advanced 
 Lib. As a private mem. he moved, 
 in Mch., 1895, for the reconstruc- 
 tion of the Senate. His political 
 views were summed up in a review of 
 his career, which appeared in the 
 Toronto Ohhe, Dec. 27, 1894. From 
 this we make the following extract : 
 •' He has always been an opponent 
 of a nominated Senate. He is, how- 
 
 ever, still a necond Chamber man, 
 and wants to mend rather than end 
 our Upper House. Holding the 
 high political ideals which he docs, 
 and believing that the worst crime 
 against the commonwealth is a 
 wrong against 'he ind. of the elec- 
 torate, it need 8<!ar(;ely l)e said that 
 the parti/an redistribution of con- 
 stituencies an<l the partisan pre- 
 paration of voters' lists lind in 
 him one of tiusir most powerful 
 denouncers. In economic (piestions 
 ho ia an uncomprohiising oppo- 
 nent of the protective system. Ho 
 believes Can. ought to make her 
 own commer'!ial treaties, and a few 
 months ago the brea<lth of his min<l 
 on the Im[). relationship was shown 
 in a nijiga/ine article, in which he 
 argued that, while the Motherland 
 gives the protection of her navy to 
 the conmicrce of the colonies in tiie 
 seas of i\m worlil, it is ct)nducive 
 neither to their self-respect or self- 
 reliance that they should make no 
 subsUvntial return for that service, 
 but that they should, on the con- 
 trary, seek to shut Brit, trade out of 
 their nuirkets. He is opposed to 
 handing over the work of legislation 
 to the Ministry, as is now so largely 
 doiu^ nt Ottawa. Sonie of his nio.tt 
 valuable contributions to our jjoliti- 
 cal literature have been upon this 
 and kindred subjects, whose im- 
 portance is scarcely appreciated by 
 minds which do not go to the root of 
 disea.se8 in the body politic. His 
 study of the foundation principles 
 of representative govt, pointed out 
 to him yrs. ago the elFect, now ap- 
 parent, U])on the whole commimity 
 of Parlt. alxlicating its duty of effec- 
 tive supervision over national expen- 
 ditures and control of the national 
 Executive. If the advice with which 
 he has sought on every available occa- 
 sion to incidcate sound political prin- 
 ciples had been accepted by Parlt,, 
 of whose dignity he is a jealous up- 
 holder, it would not have become, 
 as it unfortunately is, a mere record- 
 ing machine for legalizing tlie actions 
 of its Executi To sum up his 
 
 politics, they /e, that care and

 B. ill Wost (iwilliinbuiV, Simcoo, 
 Ont., Nov. 24, 1840, he was brought 
 up on his fathor'e farm. A soriou.s ac- 
 cident formed thoturning point in his 
 career. At '21 he lost hi.s right arm 
 in A threshing machine, and thus 
 hatidicfipjied. he stood upon the 
 threshold of his life-work with re- 
 sponsibility, and, what some would 
 call disaster, staring him in the face. 
 Enteri.ig the public sch. he began 
 his education at the time when the 
 majority of ymng men have already 
 finished. Hitherto his training had 
 been entirely manual or pliysioal ; 
 tiov/ he began to deselop the mental 
 side of his nature. From the public 
 sch. he proceeded to the Uratlford 
 (iraminar Sch., and thence to Vic- 
 toria Univ., Cobourg (B.A. , and 
 
 Prince of Wales gold modal for 
 lighost tank in geiil. proHcieney,

 Inst., and begun to attract ntton- 
 tion as one of ihti most successful tor 
 training young men and women for 
 general work and for teachers" and 
 univ. exams. The growth of this 
 .sell, and its rtujutatioii foi thorough-

 a man for tho I'rovl. Agricultural

 tion hail been established in 1 874, 
 and for some time had many and 
 great ditbculties to contend with. 
 Under Mr. M. most of these ol)stacleH 
 have been overcome, and tho Coll. 
 has been established on a firm foun-

 when he entered the Leg. Council. 
 At Confederation he was a|)i)td. to

 clamation, anrl became one of the 
 Govt, leaders in that chamber. He 
 resigned from the Senate, 1874, and

 on the same subject. In London he 
 stood by Sir Geo. (Jartier as against 
 
 : Sir John Macdonald on the questior 
 of a Provl, union instead of a Leg. 
 I union. "In all tliese confs. and 
 consultations," says the Montreal 
 Star, " Mr. M. took an active part,

 being fertile in suggestion, and of 
 I great service in the very important

 gates wei-e charged by their re- 
 j spective Govt.s. In the g. e. in

 of this Act, Mr. M. took an active 
 part ; and although the anti-Con- 
 federates won the day, Mr. M. per- 
 sisted, during tlie darkest hours, in 
 urging tlie Legislature and the 
 people to accept the Union. His 
 speeches during the interval be-

 service in its special line of duty ;

 strictures of the Brit. Col. Secy, of 
 that day, who deprecated the vigor- 
 ous stand that was taken by Can. 
 under Mr. M.'s inspiration, in de- 
 fence of our maritime rights. In 
 fact, Mr. M. in his despatches in 
 this connection gave the key-note 
 to that i)'>ld and national attitude 
 in dealing with the encroaohments 
 of the [J. S. , which enabled more 
 recent Can. (iovts. to secure the 
 influence and liacking of the Imp. 
 auti'orities in the lichiing Sea dif- 
 fienlt3'. Mr. M. was also largely 
 instrumental in bringing about the 
 Halifax Arbitration between Gt. 
 Brit, and the U. 8., at which for 
 the first lime in disputes with the 
 U. S. , Can. int^Tests were repre- 
 sented by (.Canadians, and v.hioh 
 eventuated in an indemiiity of 
 $4,500,001) being paid to Can. by the 
 U. S. for the use of the Can. fisheries 
 by U. S. fishermen. Although Sir 
 Albei't Smith was Mr. of Marine 
 and Fisheries when the arbitration 
 was held, and was knighted because 
 of the .success of the arbitration, 
 the actual work which secured this 
 success was done by Mr. M. It 
 was he who l>locked out the plan of 
 the Can. case, secured the neces.sary 
 evidence and arranged the details 
 in most particulars." Mr. M., in 
 Jan., 1885, became prop, of the 
 Montreal Herald,, which he con- 
 ducted for several yrs. He is now- 
 retired from active politics, hav- 
 ing been apptd. (Mch. 1, 1897) to 
 the office of Inspr. of Fisheries for 
 the Atlantic I'rovinccs of Quebec, 
 N. S. and N. B. He has all his 
 lifetime adhered to Lib. principles 
 in politics. In 1874 he was pre- 
 sented by the ele(!tors of Northum- 
 berland, his native co., with a 
 hiindsomc testimonial in token of 
 their appreciation of his public ser- 
 vices. In Fob.. 1894, the Toronto 
 N'eir-'* published some of his j)olitical 
 reminiscences. Mr. M. is author of 
 " A Review of Presdt. (iiant's re- 
 cent Message to the LI. S. Congr-ess 
 relative to the Can. f^isheries, and

 MOSOAIT, Miss Mary, iioet, is a 
 native of Scot., but in childhood re- 
 moved with her family to Montreal, 
 where her father and uncle estab- 
 lished the well-known dry goodH 
 iiousc of Henry Morgan & Co. Till 
 her father's <leath, in 1893, her life 
 was spent in Milton Cottage, on the 
 hanks of the St. Lawrence, a few 
 mile.s below Montreal. Both the 
 father and the dan. attracted a 
 large circle of friends to this de- 
 liglitful homo, which formed for 
 many yrs. a favourite resort for 
 |jeople of literar;y' tastes and sym- 
 pathies. About 20 yrs. ago. Miss 
 M. began to publish f'ome of her 
 litt;rary work in Can. and Am. 
 periodicals, generally under the 
 pseudonym of " (Jo wan Lea." In 
 1887 she collected a number of her 
 moat appreciated productions in a 
 dainty little volume, of which an 
 Am. edition appeared very shortly 
 afterwards, under the title of 
 " Woodnotes in the Cloaming." 
 " Her best work," saj's Prof. J. 
 Clark Murray, "is in the lyrical 
 vein; and the moods ol the soul, 
 for which she seems to lint^ expres- 
 sion by preference in her lyri^'', are 
 not the more boisterous passions by 
 wliioh the human heart is most 
 commonly stormed, but rather those 
 delicate calm emotions tliat are 
 natiu'ally awakened by the rarer 
 reflections of a cultured mind." In 
 ISP',; Mi.'^a M. published "Sonnets 
 fi'om Switzerland." Some of her 
 compositiona have been reproduced 
 in "America's Younger Poets," ? 
 volume published at Philadelphia. 
 She originally desired to study Med., 
 but her ambition in that direction 
 was thwarted by the objections 
 of friends and the inability of Mc- 
 (jill Univ. to grant a degree to a 
 woman at that time. Of late she 
 has travelled extensively in Europe, 
 and is now (1897) living in Devon- 
 f^hire, Eng. Miss .M. calls herself a

 MOUNT STEPHEN iLord) The Eight 
 Hon. Sir George Stephen, Bart., is 
 the eld. s. of the late Wni. Stephen, 
 a native of Olenrinnea, Mortloch, 
 Scot., by his wife, Klspet Smith, 
 and wasl). at Outftown, Banffshire, 
 Scot., June 5, 1829. He received 
 his education at the parish sch., 
 under the late John Macpherson, 
 and while quite young, acted as 
 herd-boy on the glene of Mortloch. 
 He served his apprenticeship to the 
 drapery business in Aberdeen, and 
 going to London was admitted into 
 the employ of J. F. Pawson & Co. 
 (Ltd.), St. Paul's Churchyard 
 There he obtained that knowledge 
 of figures which in after-life proved 
 of such benefit to him. On the in- 
 vitation of his relative, the late 
 Win. Stephen, he came to Can., 
 1850, and after serving in his es- 
 tablishment in Montreal for a few 
 yrs,, formed a partnership with him 
 
 under the name and style of Wm. 
 Stephen A, Co. Later, on the death 
 of VVm. Stephen, 1860, he purchased 
 his interest in the bu.niness, and 
 entering largely into tlie manufac 
 ture of woollon goods, met with ex 
 traordinary success. Elected a dir. 
 of the IJank of Montreal, the largest 
 financial institution in Can., ho 
 became V.-P. of the hank, 1873, 
 and Presdt., 1870. Not long after 
 wards ho joined a syndicate for the 
 
 {uirchaso of the interests of the 
 ^utcii holders of the bonds of the 
 St. Paul and l'ai:ific Hy., a road 
 which, when finished, gave the syn- 
 dicate control of the wnolo traflBe of 
 the Can. North -West. Extending 
 their (jperations, the 8yn<li(;ate made 
 St. i'aul the final point of their 
 system, which thev named the St. 
 Paul and Man. lly. Mr. S.'s con- 
 nection with this enterprise led to 
 the fortnation of the co. composed 
 mainly of the sam<» parties, that in 
 1880 undertook the construction of 
 the Can. Pac. Ry. Tlie history of 
 this gigantic work forms a portion 
 of the history of Can. On this point 
 it is rocorderl that when the original 
 syndicate was organized and the 
 terms agreed upon ])y the Govt., 
 there were few indeed, even in Can., 
 whf) held the faith that the compact 
 would be literally fulfilled, and 
 fewer still sanguine encmgh to be- 
 lieve that the uttermost engagement 
 would be discharged within 5 yrs. 
 of the allotted time. Mr. S., how- 
 ever, was among the first to pin his 
 faith and fortune to the venture, 
 and from tlio day he put his hand 
 to the plough, he never looked back 
 until the work he had set himself to 
 do was accomplished. The path he 
 trod with his associates was by no 
 means an easy one. Those who 
 imagine the ta.sk to have been 
 simple, or dependent for its fulfil- 
 ment merely upon financial credit, 
 have only to consider the repeated 
 failures of govts, to ade([uately 
 grasp th" undertaking, the wide- 
 spread disbelief in the ability of the 
 syndicate to carry out its obligation, 
 the party hostility encountered, and

 and tljey were all fornjidable, dauut- 
 eil Mr. 8. He ha-l tlie courage of 
 conviction in the j)ra<^ticahility of 
 the enterprivse, an anient patriolisni 
 in the work, and the perHonal pluck, 
 intrepidity nntl magnetism which 
 inHpiroH confidence in others, needed 
 to direct the j)roject to a Hucccssfid 
 issue. When the prospects of the 
 CO. seemed dark and gloomy, when 
 its credit was at n low ehh and fail- 
 ure appeared to he impending, Mr. 
 8. never faltered. His energy, 
 pluck and work aided perhaps more 
 than any other single factor in tid- 
 ing the ditHculties of the CO., and 
 the rewards which afterwards came 
 to him in honour, as in emolument, 
 were as richly deserved as anv ever 
 bestowed or reaped. In audition 
 thereto, it may be stated that it was 
 Mr. 8. who also lifted the Credit 
 Valley Ry. o\it of its dilficulties, 
 and who, with 4 or f) associates, 
 built the Ont. and (Quebec Ry. He 
 likewise secured a controlling in- 
 terest in the system of rys. con- 
 solidated under the name of the 
 N. B. Ry. For his services in 
 connection with the building of 
 Canada's transcontinental line. Her 
 Majesty was pleased, in 188(1, to 
 create him a Baronet of the United 
 Kingdom, and, in 189), she was fur- 
 ther pleased to raise him to the 
 peerage with the title of Lord 
 Mount Stephen, he being so named 
 from a high peak in the Rocky Mts., 
 on the route of the Can. Facilic Ry. , 
 which peak was called after him as 
 Presdt. of that Co. His Lordship 
 retired from the presidency of the 
 ry. in 1888, since M'hen he has lived 
 in Eng. In that year Lord Salis- 
 bury offered him a position on the 
 eonui. of investigation into the con- 
 dition of the army ami navy, which, 
 howev(!r, he was unable to accept. 
 .Since then his name has ])een men- 
 tioned in connection with the Gov- 
 ernor-Generalship of Can., a sug- 
 gestion to that effect having been 
 made through the pre.ss. His por-

 to meritorious pur|)oHCH. In 1883 
 he donated $r)0,(.0(> to the Montreal

 in memory of the late Dr. (i. W. 
 Campbell. In 188/), along with his 
 relative, Sir D. A. Smitli (now Lord 
 Strathcona and Mojmt Royal) he 
 founded the Montreal scholarship in 
 the Royal Coll. of Music. In 1880 
 ho and Sir Donald gave each tin 
 princely sum of !fo(K),000 (to which 
 was afterwards added an an>t. for 
 maintenatu;o), for the erection of the

 pire, comes of good Scotch stock, 
 being one of the Mowatsof Bucholie, 
 Caithness-shire, the re.storers and 
 owners of the ancient castle of the 
 Vikings in Scot. He is the s. of the 
 late Jolm Mowat, formerly of Canis

 the Penin.sula, by his wife, .Mary Lo- 
 vack. The family settled in King- 
 ston, Ont., ISIG, and there the fu- 
 ture minister was b. July 22, 1820. 
 VA. at private institutions in his 
 native city, he, upon leaving sch., 
 entered the office of Mr. (afterwards 
 Sir) John A, Macdonald, with whom 
 ho remained as a law student for 
 
660 
 
 MOWAT. 
 
 
 4 yrs. After completing his articles 
 with Roht. K. Burns, Toronto, he 
 was called to the bar, 1841. Ho 
 entered on the practice of his pro- 
 fession in Kingston, but soon after- 
 wards moved to Toronto and formed 
 a partnership with his late principal, 
 Mr. Burns. Mr. Vankoughnet (sub- 
 sequentl}'^ Chancellor of Ont. ), was 
 afterwards admitted to the firm, 
 which was known under the name of 
 Burns, Mowat & Vankoughnet. On 
 Mr. Burns' retirement to a judge- 
 raip, 1848, the i-emaining partners 
 continued the business. Subse- 
 quently, Mr. M. had as partners, .it 
 different periods, the late John 
 Ewart, the late John Helliwell, the 
 late John Roaf, the late VVm. Davif i, 
 the late John Downie and the pres- 
 ent Mr. Justice Maclennan. His 
 present firm is composed of him- 
 self, of Thos. Langton, Q.C., H. M. 
 Mowat and R. J. Maclennan. At 
 the bar, Mr. M. confined himself 
 chiefly to equity practice. He soon 
 obtained a high reputation as a 
 lawyer, and, while in active practice, 
 was long tln< leader of the Chaiiccry 
 bar. It is recorded that many of the 
 cases argued by him are to-day liv- 
 ing authorities on topics of equity 
 jurisprudence. Createil a Q. C. by 
 Sir E. W. Head, 1855, he became, 
 later, a Bon(;her of the Law Soc. 
 From 1856 to 1859 he served on 
 the comn. apptd. to consolidate the 
 public general statutes of Can. and 
 U. C. respectively, and he was alsio, 
 at a 8ubse(iuent period, a comnr. for 
 the consolidation of the statutes of 
 Ont. Politically, he was, in early 
 life, surrounded with Con. influences, 
 but he himself, as Mr. Adam re- 
 lates "chose that broad-minded, 
 moderate Liberalism, of which he 
 has over since been so able an ex- 
 ponent and so steadfast a promoter." 
 After serving as an aid. in the Town 
 Council, he was, in 1857, elected to 
 Parlt. as mem. for South Ontario, 
 and continued to represent that con- 
 .stituency till 18(>4. In the Assembly 
 he took part in all the principal dis- 
 cussionsand debates, and liecameone 
 of the mosteflfective speakers on the 
 
 Reform side. Upon the fall of the 
 Macdonald-Cartier Govt., 1858, be 
 entered the new Cabinet fornied by 
 Messrs. Brown and Dorion, as Provl. 
 Secy. In 1863 ho entered the Sand- 
 field Macdonald Govt. asPostmaster- 
 Genl., continuing as such until the 
 defeat of the mniistry in the early 
 part of 1864. Later, in the same 
 year, on the formation of the f^oali- 
 tion govt, luider Sir E. P. Tache, for 
 the purpose of effecting the political 
 union of B.N. A., he, together with 
 the Hon. Geo. Brown and the Hon. 
 Wm. Macdougall, was chosen to 
 enter therein as representatives of 
 the Lib. party of U. C He sat in 
 the Union Conf that assembled in 
 Quebec, Oct. 10, 1864, and took an 
 active part in framing the constitu- 
 tion prepared there by the ' ' Fa- 
 thers of Confederation. " In Nov. fol- 
 lowing he was raised to the Bench, 
 as one of the Vice-Chancellors of 
 Ont. "His appointment," says a 
 writer in the Bay^rider, " was grate- 
 ful both to the public and to the bai^ 
 As a judge his notable characteristic 
 was his fair-mindedness. His re- 
 ported decisions are clear and logi- 
 cal, and have always been held of 
 high authority in our courts. He 
 was an ideal equity judge — learned 
 in the jurisprudence, skilled in its 
 technicpie, familiar with ;irece<lent, 
 but withal master of his reason." 
 Ho returned to political life, Oct., 
 1872, being then called by the Lt. - 
 Gov. to succeed Mr. Blake in the 
 Premiership of the Province. In 
 his own Admn., which lasted from 
 the above date till his resignation 
 in July, 1896, to enter Sir Wilfrid 
 Laurier's Cabinet, he filled the office 
 of Atty.-Genl., and in that position 
 succeeded in effecting many impor- 
 tant legal reforms. In other re- 
 spects liis legislation was of a most 
 useful and beneficial character. 
 During his term of ofiice he had fre- 
 quent controversies with the Dom. 
 Govt., during Sir John Maodonala's 
 time, notably on the boundary 
 question, the appt, of Queen's 
 Counsel, the f.iquor License lawai.d 
 other cases, which wore carried to

 the Privy Council in Eng. , and 
 which were uniformly decided in 
 his favour. In 1893, on the com- 
 pletion of the new provincial build- 
 ings, Toronto, his iriendH through- 
 out the Province desiring to mark 
 their appreciation of " the splendid 
 story of his acliiovenients," as a 
 public man, placed upon the walls of 
 the Assembly chamber an oil paint- 
 ing of the Premier, Recalling the 
 events of his Admn., in his farewell 
 address to the electors of North Ox- 
 ford, July, 1896, he said: "Pro- 
 vincial houours more than contented 
 me as far as honours wereconcerneil, 
 and I had the satisfaction of know- 
 ing that my position afforded me the 
 opportunity (of which I availed my- 
 self to th-j best of my ability) of 
 rendering some sei-vice to my native 
 Province, in assisting to settle some 
 important questions of groat diffi- 
 culty, and in devising and carry- 
 ing oat the measures for the 
 development of the resources of 
 the Province, and for promot- 
 ing the well-being of all classes 
 of people as far as Provincial power 
 of govt, and legislation enabled this 
 to 1)0 done. My position gave me 
 tlie opportunity oi rendering sub- 
 stantial assistance towards placing 
 on the statute book a vast botly of 
 useful legislation, and towards giv- 
 ing to the Province 28 yrs. and 
 more of just, prudent, economical 
 and clean administration of public 
 affairs. As my memory recalls what 
 has been done by the Reform Govt, 
 and Reform Legislature during the 
 last quarter of a ' >ntury, it adds 
 g'-eatly to my Gati^taction to know 
 that the people of North Oxford ap- 
 preciate the course of my colleagues 
 and myself in the govt, of the 
 country and the direotioti of its 
 Legislature, and that there has al- 
 ways been thorough sympathy be- 
 tween the Liberals of the riding and 
 myself in regard to public affairs. 
 It is on the support and favour of 
 the Reformers that I have relied, 
 but it gives me pleasure to know 
 that many Conservatives also have 
 shown towards me their good-will," 
 
 On the same occasion, the Toronto 
 (ilohe paid this woll-written tribute 
 to his eminent standing and services 
 as a public man: "His greit hold 
 on Out. lies in the belief that he is 
 a safo man. Pre-eminently, he is a 
 man to be trusted. In temperament 
 he is Conservative, by study and re- 
 flection a Reformer. His views are 
 always abreast of the advance<l 
 thought of the day, but the course 
 of legislation in this Province has 
 shown with what shrcwdne.ss he ex- 
 amines the popidar movements which 
 spring up from time to time, and 
 with what sure-footedness he picks 
 his way among the pitfalls which lie 
 in wait for unwary legislators, ham- 
 mering the while into law whatever 
 of value may be found in them. His 
 Admn. has passed safely through 6 
 general elections. His long term of 
 power constitutes an era in the life 
 of Out. He has succeeded in almost 
 living down opposition. Twenty - 
 four yrs. of power have left him 
 with a reputation of stainless integ- 
 rity. His personal character stands 
 so high that the least scrupidous 
 of his opponents prefer no charge 
 against him that savours of corrup- 
 tion or dishonesty. He lias always 
 burrounded himself with able and 
 admirable colleagues, but his person- 
 ality easily dominated the Cal)inet, 
 and his has been the central figure 
 of Provincial affairs. His intellect 
 is fertile, subtle and capacious. Of 
 political craft he is by no means de- 
 void, but it is the wholesome wis- 
 dom of which a great apostle once 
 spoke, and cai ries with it no deroga- 
 tion of respect or confidence. His 
 opponents call him an opportunist. 
 Whatever of opportunism ho has is 
 of the serious, earnest kind. It has 
 been a disappointment at times to his 
 opponents that his purity of motives 
 and fulnesf of mind should not be 
 allied to that kind of simplicity or 
 fanaticism which would have de- 
 I'vered him into tiieir hands. It is 
 one of the elements of his strength 
 that be has not only moral and in- 
 tellectual qualities which influence

 to avoid, as if by instinct, the traps 
 which liave been laid fur hitn. Ho 
 has the faculty of estimating pass- 
 ing events, not from ilie po nt of 
 view in which they com'nonly ap- 
 pear to those who bear a pnrt iu 
 them, but from the point of vivjw in 
 which after a lapse of ys. they will 
 appear to tlie philosophical historian 
 — the faculty which is called fore- 
 sight. To the weight which he will 
 carry into the admn, of Doni. affairs 
 by reason of his mental force and 
 capacity will bo united the influence 
 which belongs to an experience longer 
 and ampler than thvt of any other 
 Canadian."' In the Li urier Adrun. (of 
 which he wan the doyen in point of 
 age and length of st ;'vice as a pub- 
 lic man), he filled tae otlice of Mr. 
 of .histice, and while in the office 
 furnished abundant evidence of his 
 peculiar fitness for that post of duty. 
 Soon after his appt. he was chosen 
 one of tl.\>^ Conite. of Oouncil to 
 whom was entrusted the cor.duct of

 MTJRBA7, George, educationist 
 and littdrateur, ia the only s. of the 
 late Jas, Murray, in his lifetime 
 foreign ed. of the London Timei^, and 
 was 1). in Regent Square, London. 
 He received his early education at 
 tliesch. of Dr. J.G. Greig, Waltham- 
 stow, Essex, afterwards matriculat- 
 ing at King's Coll., London, where 
 lie took the chajdain's 2 prizes 
 for Eng. verse — original and trans- 
 lated—the Principal s prize for Latin 
 verse, the senior classical scholar- 
 ship, and was elected A.K.C. , the 
 highest honour that could be con- 
 ferred by the Coll. Proceeding to 
 Oxford, he obtained among other 
 lionours the Luaby scholarship ami 
 the Lucy Exhibition. Before taking 
 his degree, 1860, he published "The 
 Oxford ars Poetica ; or, How to Write 
 a Newdigate," which was lauded l)y 
 the Spectator, and also by the authoi" 
 of " Verdant (Jreen." After spend- 
 ing some yrs. on the Continent, Mr. 
 M. came to Can., 1859, and was 
 apptd. shortly afterwarils senior Clas- 
 sical Master of the Montreal High 
 Sch. This position he held until 
 1892, when he retired on a pension 
 and was presented with a handsome 
 testimonial by the .scholars. Mr. M. 
 
 is one of the literary lights of the 
 Dom. Ho has written in both prose 
 and verse, but is more particularly 
 known as a poet. In 1869 ho won 
 the gold medal ofTereil by the St. 
 Andrew's Soc. of Ottawa, for the 
 Iwst poem on the subject of "The 
 Thistle." His verses embraced the 
 old legend of how the thistle saved 
 the Scottish garrison from surprise 
 and defeat at the hands of the 
 piratical Danes. Five yrs. later he 
 also won the prize given oy the Mont- 
 real Witness for the best ballad on 
 any subject in Can. history. On 
 this occasion there were no fewer 
 than 291 competitors. The success- 
 ful work was entitled : " How Can- 
 ada was Saved," and graphically 
 describes how a gallant banti of 
 young Frenchmen sought out their 
 old enemy, the Iroquois, and, like 
 the ancient Spartans at Thermopylce, 
 fought desperately until every one 
 of tlieir number had bitten the dust. 
 "Pathos and fire," says a M'ell- 
 known Can. writer, "are beautifully 
 intermingled in these verses, which 
 are probably the most widely known 
 of all Mr. M.'s productions." Al- 
 though a frequent contributor to the 
 press, it was not until 1891 that ho 
 published his poems in book form. 
 His volume, entitled : " Verses and 
 Versions," was dedicated to "Sir 
 Edwin Arnold, my dearest com- 
 panion for many years." Comment- 
 ing on the work the Week said : 
 "These are j'eal poems and show 
 real poetic power ; words not to bo 
 lightly used in these days of exuber- 
 ant versification." In his "Songs 
 of the (ireat Dom.," W. D. Light- 
 hall pronounces his translations of 
 the lyrics of Gautier, Hugo, Do 
 Musset, and other French writers, 
 as the most delicate and precise in 
 the Eng. language. Among Mr. M.'s 
 journalistic enterprises was Dioge- 
 ne-'i, a serio-comic weekly, and the 
 Free Lance, both published in Mont- 
 real, the last-named in conjunction 
 with the late Geo. T. Lanigan. In 
 1882 he established "Notes and 
 Queries " in the Montreal Star, and

 MACDOUGALL, Hon. William, 
 siaiosman, is descended from John 
 .Maudougall, a native of the High- 
 lands of Scot., and a U. E. Loyalist, 
 who served in the Brit. Commi.ssariat 
 during the Revolutionary war. S. 
 (tf Danl. Macdougall, formoily of j 
 V'ork (now Toronto), Ont., by his 
 wife, Hannah Matthews, oi St. 
 Andrew's, P.Q., ho was b. in York, 
 Jan. '25, 1822, and received his edu- 
 cavion at the local schs. and at Vic- 
 toria Coll., Cnbourg. He studied 
 law in the office of the late Hon. 
 J. H. Price, and was admitted as an 
 atty. and solr., 1847. In 1802 ho 
 was called to the bar, and, in 1881, 
 was apptd. a Q. C. by the Maniuis of 
 Lome. Before completing Ids arti- 
 ( les as a law student, he had begun 
 to contrd)uto to the newspapers of 
 the day, and accoi'ding to Dent, 
 "displayed a decided talent ft r the 
 profession of a journalist." Vithin 
 a few mths. after his admisiionas 
 an atty. ho establishe<l thi Can. 
 Fariwr, a weekly paper devoted to 
 Agrioul., Science and Lit. Itn name 
 was subsefjuently changed tu I hat of 
 the Cantdiati A(irkultiiri'<t, ij.nd it 
 continued to be published under his 
 auspices down to 1858. Longl>eforo 
 this period, however, he had taken 
 ii position on the political press. 
 Ill 1850 he established the North 
 A ,ii"ri<:,\n, a semi- weekly newspaper 
 of radical proclivities, of which he 
 became ed. in-chief. Tlic political 
 platform laid down V)y him, the last 
 plink of which has long since been 
 adopted by the people and ParU. of 
 45 
 
 the country, compri-sed ; 1, Elective 
 institutions, which were to apply to 
 the Leg. (Council or Upjier House of 
 that day, as well as to municipal 
 and local officers ; 2, the abolition of 
 property fjualitication for Parlia- 
 mentary representatives ; 3, the ex- 
 tension of tlie elective tianchiae to 
 householders ; 4. vott! by ballot ; 5, 
 biennial parlts. ; 6, representation 
 based on population ; 7, power to 
 the ("an. Parlt. to regulate com- 
 mercial intercourse with other na- 
 tions ; 8, law reform, by the giving 
 of equ'"y jurisdiction to the cts. of 
 law, and by simplification of law 
 proceedings ; 9, the application of 
 the Clergy Reserves to educational 
 purposes ; 10, the abolition of the 
 rectories; 11, the abolition of all 
 laws giving S[)ecial privileges to par- 
 ticular religious denominations ; 12, 
 modifications of the usury laws ; 13, 
 the abolition of the doctrine of 
 primogeniture as applied to real 
 estate ; 14, a decimal (turrency ; 15, 
 free navigation of the St. Lawrence. 
 Upon the formation of the Hincks- 
 Morin Admn. the North Amarkan 
 l)0(;ame its mouthpiece, but apart 
 from this relation, Mr. M. had 
 opinions of his own, and did not 
 hesitate to proclaim them. In 1857 
 the publication of the North Ameri- 
 can was discrntinued, being merged 
 in the Toionto (rlobe, and Mr. 
 M. jo'ned tlie editorial staff" of the 
 last-named journal. After having 
 led a forlorn hope for the Reformers 
 in 3 previous contests, he was re- 
 turnect to Parlt. for North Oxford, 
 18)8. He sat for that constituency 
 till 18()3, and was, thereafter, up to 
 the close of his political career, 18S2, 
 the reprcseiitat i\ e successively of 
 North Ont., >^ortli Lanark and Hal- 
 ton. From 1875 to 1878 he held a 
 seat in the Ont. Legislatun.". At the 
 g. e. 1887, he stood in the Lib. in- 
 terest for South (Jrenville, and was 
 defeated. " He grew steadily in 
 power and intlueiu'c from the time 
 of first taking h' seat," sayf< Mr. 
 Dent, "and fur'M .iliiod one of the few

 tho fi)nnation of tlie SandfieM Ma(!-

 he accfjpted office therein as Comnr. 
 of Crown Lands, remaining in that 
 
 fiosition till tlio resignation of the 
 Tovt , Moh., I8('4. In tlio sanio 
 vear, on the defeat of the Con. Govt, 
 led by Sir K. P. Tach.^, the latter, 
 being unable to reconstruct without 
 a dissolution, offered Mr. M. 3 seats 
 in tho U. C. see. of his Cabinet if h' 
 could bring 2 Lilja. in with him, but 
 as Sir f]tienne refused to apply tiie 
 coalition principle in L. C, the offer 
 was declinetl. On tho formation of 
 the coalition, in .Tune, same yeai , 
 which resulted in Confederation, 
 Mr. M. was one of the 2 Keformors 
 whom tho Hon. (Jeo. Brown took 
 with him into the Cabinet, he being 
 assigned the office of !V »1. .Secy. 
 He '.sas from first to last ai\ active 
 promoter of the Union, an<l to no 
 one does tho term, '* Father of Con- 
 federation," more rightly *'.pply than 
 to him. Ho attended t)ie Union 
 Conf. at Charlottetown, IH<H, and 
 that held at Quebec in the same 
 year. In 186fi 67 ho v -is present at 
 theColonial (/onf. that satin London, 
 Eng., when tlie terniy of the Federa- 
 tion compact were finally settled. In 
 1865-66 he served as ' 'hairman of a 
 Royal Coma, app'.d. to open trade 
 relations vvitli the West Indies, 
 Mexico and Brazi''. On July 1, 
 1867, he was kwoi i of the Queen's 
 Privy Couiicii 'an., and apptd. 
 
 Mr. of Public Wc i^a in the Covt. 
 then fonu»(i by Sir John A. Mac- 
 donald. At the same time he was 
 createcf a Companion of the Order of 
 the Bath, in acknowledgment of his 
 services in promoting the Union of 
 B. N. A. In the autumn of 1368 
 he accompanied iSir ( reo. {'artier to 
 Eng., to confer with the Imp. an- 
 thoiilieson several matters of pub- 
 lic interest, including the defences 
 of tiio Dom. and the acquisition of 
 the N. W. T. — the latter a matter 
 ho had always much at heart. The 
 tegotiation.'?, in ao far as theyrelated 
 CO the N. W. T., were successful. 
 The arrangement, as finally com- 
 
 pleted, gavi) general satisfaction in 
 Can., and received the unanimou 
 approval of Parlt. Mr. M.'s sha c- 
 in these negotiations, and his w{i , m 
 interest in everything relating t(» 
 the N. W., led to his appt. as lirat 
 Lt.-fios'. of Rupert's Land au 1 the 
 N. W. T, He left Ottawa fc Fort 
 Garry, the proposed seat of his 
 (rovt., Oct., 1869, but on caching 
 Pembina, on the internl. '/oundary 
 line, was served ^vith h formal 
 i.otice, on ^ ehalf of cert .in French 
 lialf-breeds :tt Fort (iarr;, , forbiddin^' 
 him to enter the Terri* jry. Later, 
 ho was ejected from Mie Territoiy, 
 and returned to O tawa. Moan- 
 while, a provisional govt, had been 
 formed at Fort Gar y under Ix)uis 
 Riel, with the dep'orable resvdts re- 
 corded in history. In 1871 Mr. M. 
 was apptd. a conmr. for Ont. for the 
 settlement of t'le N.-W. boundary 
 of the Province, and. in 1873, was 
 .sent to England by the Can. Govt, 
 as a special comnr. to confer with 
 the Imp. autliorities on the subject 
 of the Can. Fisheries. He remained 
 there for some mths., and proceeded 
 afterwards to the Continent for the 
 purpose of making arrangements in 
 Scandinavia and the Baltic provinces 
 on behalf of immigration. On his 
 return to Can., ho resumed his 
 law jiractice, i'l partnership with his 
 son, the prespnt Judge of York, and 
 was concern .id in several important 
 cafies, notably, tho Campbell divorce 
 case, and the Mercer will case. In 
 )8Sl he fleclined appt. to a judge- 
 ship and also to a It. -governorship. 
 He has published in pamphlet form : 
 " Eight Letters to the Hon. Joseph 
 Howe on the Red River Rebellion " 
 (1870); "Six Lotters to the Hon. 
 O. Mo'vac on the Amendment of 
 the Provincial Constitution'" (1872); 
 and '"An Open J^etter to the Hon.

 (1887). (See also the Introduction

 the details of which will be fresh in 
 tiie recollection of the reader. Clf 
 this case the London Spectator said : 
 "Apart from the special interest

 the trial has in many ways been a 
 remarkable one. For the first time 
 since tlie telegraph made sensational 
 nunder trials international the Cana- 
 dian administration of justice has 
 nudergoiie the severe ordeal of hav- 
 ing a crowd of reporters eager to 
 seize on and write up any ' incident,' 
 creditable or discreditable, and occu-

 the proceedings in a provincial 
 courthouse <m to the nevv8]>a])er

 that for dignity and impartiality 
 Canadian trials compare favourably 
 with those of any country in the 
 world except Kng. . . . Nv) trial at 
 any Eng. assizes could have been 
 conducted with a more admirable 
 temper than that at Woodstock in 
 Canada. Judge, jnry, atul counsel, 
 all seemed strongly possessed with 
 a sense of the responsibility of 
 the task before them, and they 
 combined to make the investiga-

 in response to that invitation he,

 Can., and was placed at the Barrie 
 (jrannnar Sch., where he complete<l 
 his education. Called to the bar, 
 1858, ho entered on the practice of 
 his profession in partnership with 
 his father and the late D'Arcy 
 Bcmlton, IJ.C. , and speedily attained 
 a distinguished and eminent position 
 therein. Ho was elected a Bencher 
 of the Law Soc. , 1871, and was 
 created a Q. C. in the following year 
 by the Earl of Dufferin. At a later 
 peiiod he was named an hon. mom. 
 of the I.rfiw Faculty of Toronto 
 Univ., and was elected a mem. of 
 the Ex. Council of the Can. Bar 
 Assn. In 1879 he removed from 
 Barrie to Toronto, and there estab- 
 lished the firm that goes by hia 
 name, and which has long ranked 
 among the foremost doing business 
 within the Dom. Apart from his 
 everyday work, Mr. McC. has been 
 engaged in many cases of peculiar 
 interest and imiK)rtance, including 
 a largo number of appeals to the 
 Privy Council in Eng. As a jury 
 lawyer, he is not known to have 
 any superior in Can. "His style," 
 says one of his bio',;rapher8, "is 
 sharp and incisive, his glance keen

 guinhed himself in <lel)ate, and before 
 tho oloHC of his first Hoasioii was 
 regarded an the riaine star of the 
 (Jon. party. " His hrst spei-ch," 
 BayH Mr. Davin, in hia " Iriahmen in 
 Can.," "marked him aa a man for 
 whom all thinga may be hoped." 
 8ir John Macdonahi, the Prime 
 Minister, spoke of him as "the 
 brains of the party," and designated 
 him its future leader. For 15 yrs. 
 or more no one, with the possible 
 exeeptvon of Sir Cliarles Tuppc, 
 possessed tho aged statesman's con- 
 fidence to the same extent. Out- 
 siile of Parlt. he undertook the 
 work of organization for his party, 
 and for a considerable ])eriod lilled 
 the ortice of (.Muiirman of the Ex. 
 Conite. of the Lib. -Con. Union of 
 Ont. More than once he declined a 
 seat in the Cabinet, and more than 
 once he declined appt. to the high- 
 est judicial office in the T'rovince. 
 Mr. McC. broke with his part}' in 
 1889, in consequence of the position 
 taken by the Cabinet on the Mercier 
 Jesuits' Estates Act -a position to 
 which tho almost entire Prot. senti- 
 ment of the country was opposed. 
 From this time he assumed an ind. 
 attitude in politics. He was placed 
 at tlie head of the " Equal Rights" 
 movement, and in that character 
 fought with courage and resolution 
 for the rights of the people whose 
 cause he espoused. Later, during 
 the Thompson, Bowell and Tapper 
 Hgimes, he gave battle to all comers 
 on the Man. Sch. question. Com- 
 mencing in 1893. he made several 
 tours througli tho Doni., addressing 
 large avuliences, sometimes as numy 
 as 3 a day, in opposition to the 
 policy of his former political friends. 
 He was stigmatized by the leading 
 party organ: "Chief of tlie wob- 
 blers," and read formally out of the 
 Con. party. His efforts, however, 
 did not slacken till the last was 
 heard of Mr. Dickey's Remedial Bill 
 wioh the «lefeat of the Admn. at the 
 polls, in June, 189(>. At that elec- 
 tion Mr. McC. waa returned both 
 for North Simcoe (which constitu- 
 ency he had represented since 1878) 
 
 and for Brandon, in the Province of 
 Man. Electing to stay with hia ol<l 
 eonstituisnts, he resigned the seat for 
 Brandon. His work as a politician 
 being done, for the time, he has since 
 the meeting of tho new Parlt. been 
 heard from but little. Of late his 
 name has boon mentioned in connec- 
 tion with a seat in the Laurier 
 Cabinet. Politically, Mr. MeC. 
 calls himself " neither a Tory nor a 
 Lib. ," but stands to do right. Re- 
 garding tho trade (pieation, his con 
 tentiona may be aummarized as fol 
 Iowa: Ist. He has thought, since 
 18'J1, that tho time ha<l come when, 
 according to the policy laid down in 
 1877-78, sufficient opportunity had 
 been alForded to manufacturers to 
 estalilish their industries, and that 
 a ret\irn should be had to the prin- 
 ciple of a revenue tariff. 2ndly. 
 Tluvt he was opposed to any recipro- 
 cal relations with tho U. S. which 
 involved discrimination against Gt. 
 Biit. ; short of that, ho is pre- 
 pared for tho freest possible taritl" 
 regulo/ Mils, not merely in natural 
 produi tH, but in manufactured ar 
 tides as well. 3rdly. And chiefly, 
 he was the advocate, and, we may 
 say, the political parent, of the 
 maximum and minimum tariff, giv- 
 ing Bfit. and our sister colonies 
 the preference, which, under the 
 scheme of the preferential clause, 
 has been embodied in law by the 
 Laurier Admn. (see his resolution, 
 1893). Touching the future of Can. , 
 he haa long since reached the con- 
 clusion that Can. would find her 
 truest and boat development within 
 and as a ])art of the Brit. Empire, 
 and that Canaviians needed no higher 
 aspiration than appertained to that 
 position. His opinion is that noth 
 ing short of a great war, in whicli 
 tho Empire would suffer dismember 
 ment, would change the political 
 relations in which Can. stands to 
 the Mother Country. This doss 
 not ignore tho gradual extension of 
 I Canadian political rights until Cana- 
 I dians in all resjiects stand on an 
 I equality with the Englishman, Irish- 
 I man and Scotchman. Ho is Presdt.

 HoILWBAITH, Miu Jane Newton, 
 author, is tlie dau, of Thos. Mcll- 
 wraith (q.v.). B. in Hamilton, Ont., 
 she was ed. at the Ladies' Coll. 
 there, where she took special courses 
 in Flench anrl German. On leaving 
 sell, she organized free evening 
 classes for working boys, and for 4 
 yrs. tttught them in the basement of 
 
 h- her's house 4 nights in the 
 wee.i and en Sunday afternoons. 
 For the next 2 and a half yrs. Miss 
 McI, was in the Okl Country, most 
 of the time engaged in the study of 
 singing, varied by pedestrian trips 
 in Scot, and a session at the Na- 
 tional 'J'raining Sch. of Cookery in 
 South Kensington. Five months of 
 1892 she also spent in J^uropean 
 travel, followed i)y more singing 
 lessons in London. By far the 
 greater part of her literary work 
 consists of critical essays written for 
 the (correspondence class in modern 
 literature in connection with Queen 
 Margaret Coll., Glasgow, of which 
 she has been a mem. off and 
 on sir.ce 1886. She won the prize 
 oflfored by that institution in 1889 
 for the >)est essay on "How far 
 9 the history of the nineteenth 
 cenhiry reflected in its litera 
 ture?" Her first story was puh 
 lisheil in Harper's Bazaar, 1890, 
 ami, in 1894, she made her first ap 
 pearance in Harper's Mag. She 
 has also contributed short stories to 
 AH the Ytnr Round and the YovMa 
 Companion, but her only attemj.t at 
 verse-making is the libretto of vhe 
 comic opera, "Ptarmigan," whici. 
 was ])ro(iaced with great success in 
 Hamilton, 1894. Her longest effort 
 so far has been the novelette pub- 
 lished in London, 1895, called "The 
 Making of Mary." The scene of it 
 is laid in Michigan and Chicago, the 
 only parte? the U.S. with which 
 she is acquainted. She knows 
 Quebo(! and Ontario better, and 6 
 ovit of the 8 short stories she has 
 written describe life on the lower 
 St. Lawrence. She writes under 
 the worn ile plume of "Jean For- 
 syth." In 1897 she, in collaboration 
 with Wm. McLennan (7.".), com 
 pleted an historical romance, the 
 .scene of which is laid in New 
 Fi-ance, for the Harpers, N. V. 
 Miss McI. has inherited htu- father's 
 love of out door life, and as she 
 lives on the edge of Hamilton 
 Bay she keeps up her zest for skat- 
 ing, snow-shoeing, rowing, sailing, 
 canoeing, and particularly for diving

 McILWEATTH, Thomaa, oinitholo- 
 
 gJHt, was b. ill N./wtoii, Ayr, Scot., 
 Dec. 25, 1824. Ed. there, he went 
 to Edinburgh, 1848, and, in 1853, 
 came to (Jan., making his home at 
 Hamilton, where he became mangr. 
 of the gaa works. In 1871 he em- 
 barked in business on his own ac- 
 count. He has sat in the City 
 Coimcil, Ixsoii Presdt. of the Mech. 
 Inst., and held various other local 
 positions of honour and responsibil- 
 ity. He is, however, best known 
 as a naturalist. After coming to 
 (Jan. he gave his specitil attention 
 to the birds of the country, and 
 there being no published bo<3ks to 
 serve as <ruideg to the identifying of 
 the Spv,jies he might Hud here, lie 
 prepared a paper on the subject with 
 a list of such birds as he had ol)- 
 tained, and read it before the Ham- 
 ilton Assn, The list appeared in 
 th^ Can. Journal, July, 186U, and 
 the paper ui the same publication, 
 Jan., 1861. These aroused the in- 
 terest of Am. ornithologists, and, in 
 1865, he prepii,»'ed, by request, ar 
 extended list of birds observed near 
 Hamilton, which li8^ was published 
 among the papers of the Essex Inst. 
 In 1883 he attended a meeting of 
 the leading ornithologists of the 
 U. S., held in N. Y., which was 
 convened for tho nurpose of revising 
 the clas.siticati( . and nomenclature 
 of Am. birds. The gathering re 
 suited in the formation of the Am. 
 Ornithologist.s' Union, of wliich he 
 has since been a mem. He was 
 apptd. supdt. for the Dist. of (^nt. 
 for the Migration Comte. of the 
 Union, and saw to the selection of 
 assistants throughout the IVovince 
 to observe the arrival and departure 
 of migratory l)irds. Later, he pre 
 pared "The Rirds of Ont. : boing a 
 list of birds ob8er\ed in the Pro-, .uce, 
 
 with an account of their habits, 
 distribution, nests, eggs, etc.," 
 which was piiblishetl by the Ham- 
 ilton Assn., 1887. A second ed. of 
 this book, enlarged and revised to 
 date, with illustrations by E. E. 
 Tho'iipson, appeared, 1894. Mr.

 at 14, was apprenticed to a local 
 printer. At this time he erccelled 
 as a cornet player, and at a hanil 
 tournament held at Ingersoll <arrio<l 
 otf the 3rd prize from 11 competi- 
 tors. At 17 he was leader of a band 
 in Petrolea. Removing to the U. S., 
 he became h(!ad proofioader at the 
 headquarters of the Am. Bible Soc. 
 in N. Y. His skill in this difficult 
 field is evidenced by the peculiar 
 work he was obliged to perform. 
 It is stated that he (Mice read the 
 proof-sheets of a volume containing 
 1 verse of the Bible translated into 
 242 different languages and dialects. 
 It is safe to say that a similar task 
 has fallen to the lot of no other man 
 on the Am. continent. The burden-

 ever, after a few yrs., became too 
 irk.some for Mr. McL., and we next

 " 1. That the C'an. Ho. of Commons 
 was right when it declared, 1SS7, 
 ' that total prohibition is the right 
 and only effective remedy for tiie 
 evils of intemperance.' That tho 
 Ho. of Commons was light in de-

 McMTJLLEN, John Mercier, histo- 
 rian, was b. m Irel., June 1.3, 1820. 
 He is descended, on the paternal 
 side, from a native of Scot., who 
 settled in Ulster in the time of 
 •lames I., ami on the mother's side, 
 from a French Huguenot named 
 Mercier, who Hed from his country 
 after the revocation of the Edict of 
 Nantes, and ultimately settled in 
 Irel. Ed. at home, he proceeded to 
 India, 1843, and saw much of that 
 country, his impressions being em- 
 bodied in a volume which he pub 
 lished on his return to P-ng., 1846, 
 in which year he likowiso m. Miss 
 Sarah Charlotte Nesbilt, and took 
 to farming. Two yrs. of famine, 
 however, having disheartened him, 
 he made a gift of hia farm to a rela- 
 
 tive, and sailed for N. Y. , intending 
 to settle in the U. S. Not liking 
 that country, ho crossed into Can., 
 and finally made his home in Brock- 
 ville, Out., 1819, where he eslal)- 
 lished himself in the book trade. 
 Three ^ts. afterwards ho ad<led a 
 printing olHce to his other business, 
 and, in 18.j7, purchasoil the plant 
 and copyright of the Brockville 
 Monitor a, Con. j(mrnal — which be 
 continued to publish ur, till quite 
 recently, contributing not a little 
 during his journalistic career to the 
 ascendancy and continued success 
 of hia party frienda. When Mr. 
 McM. came to this country no gen- 
 eral history of Can. had been pre 
 pared, or was in existence-, He 
 determined to meet the want, and 
 with this end in view, commenced 
 collecting facts and other material. 
 As regards the Province of Out., 
 the matei ial was exceedingly Hcanty 
 and fj-agmentary ; but, after much 
 research, he was eventually able to 
 put its historical narrative together 
 piece by piece, and, in 185.), the 
 1st ed. of his " History of Canada" 
 made its appearance, and met with 
 a most encouraging reception. In 
 1867 ho publishecl the 2nd ed., 
 bringing the narrative down to t'lc 
 rise of the Dom. In 1892, after 2 
 yra. of stoa<ly labour in the way ot 
 revision and continuation, the .Snl 
 ed. of this work was pulilishcd, 
 l)ringing it down to tlie death of 
 Sir John A. Macdonald, and tlio 
 defeat of the Mercier Adnni. in 
 (Quebec-. His book claimed and ob- 
 tained credit for independence and 
 honesty, and even when rival work-s 
 appeared, held its place in the 
 favour of the reading public, espe- 
 cially in Ont. Mr. McM. is also tlic 
 author of a work, "The Camp and 
 Barrack Room ; or, the Brit. Ainiy 
 as ft is"; and he has ed. a work, 
 published 1882, entitled " Every 
 Man his own Lawyer." He Iim

 since 1858, and has more than omi 
 declined Parliamentary honours. In

 much time to the study of the pro-

 Htudeiit at the Coll. of the Propa- 
 ganda at Rome. Thoi'e he carried 
 offthe gold inedal for excellence, and 
 graduated doctor of divinity and of 
 phil. In 1871 he was ordained to 
 the priesthood, and returning to 
 1'. E. L, was for 2 yrs. a prof, and 
 prefect of studies in St. Dunstan's 
 ('oil. In Oct., 1873, he was ajiptd. 
 principal priest at the cath. , but his 
 health giving wa}', ho Mas sent as 
 parish priest to Indian River, where 
 he remained for 8 yrs. In 1880 ho 
 at'compauied the late Bp. Mclntyre 
 to Rome as Secy., and, in the fol- 
 lowing year, paid a 2nd visit to the 
 Eternal City with Archbp. Hannan, 
 at his special request. On the de 
 mise of the latter prelate. Dr. O'B. 
 was apptd. to succeed him as 4th 
 Archbp. of Halifax. The bull nom- 
 inating him was dated Dec. 2, 1882, 
 
 and his consecration took place at 
 St. Mary's Calh., Halifax, dan. 21, 
 1883. Sin<;e his appt.. His (!raco 
 has .shmvn unwonted activity in the 
 work of the diocese, a large inim)>or 
 of clis. , sch.s. and glebe-houses hav- 
 ing arisen through liis instrumental- 
 ity. During his first year of office 
 he commenced the erection of St. 
 Patrick's Ch., Halifax, which he has 
 since completed at a cost of ^To.OlK). 
 Subsequently, he revived the St. 
 Patrick's Home, a reformatory for 
 Cath. boys ; founded the Victoria 
 [nfirmary and the Infants' Homo ; 
 purchased an archiepiscopal resi- 
 dence; established several colonies 
 of niuis ; and carried out certain 
 costly and much needed !e|)airs in 
 St. Mary's Cath. T'ho same signs of 
 activity and improvement are ob- 
 servable everywhere throughout his 
 extensive diocese. In 1897 it was 
 announced that the Archbp. was 
 taking steps for the establishment 
 of a Cath. univ. at Halifax under 
 the management of the Jesuits or 
 tlio Fienc(lictines. His Crace's liter- 
 ary efforts have kept pace with 
 his other work. To many fugitive 
 poems, essays and articles contribut- 
 ed from time to time to the peri.j< Il- 
 eal press, he has added wjrka of 
 lasting interest aiifl merit. Of these 
 the principal are : *' Philonophy of 
 the Bible Vindicated " (187^.); " Ma- 
 ter Admirabilis ^' (1882); "After 
 Weary Years," a novel; "Saint 
 Agnes, Virgin and Martyr" (1887) ; 
 "Aniinta, a modern life drama" 
 (1890): and "Memoirs of Bishop 
 Burke" (1894). AiLhbp. O'B. was, 
 during its existence, an office-bearer

 threescore. The soh. has turned out 
 a large number of graduates, many 
 of wliom are now serving as sup<lt8. 
 in hospitals in Ont. and in foreign 
 countries. Dr. O'R. has always 
 talien an active interest in practical 
 med. education. Through his iu- 
 Htru mentality practical bed • side 
 clinics and oral exams, for the final 
 classes at the Med. Council and in 
 tlio med schs. were obtained. He 
 has held for many yrs. the (jtfice of 
 ('linical Examr. in Med. in the Med. 
 Faculty of Trinity Univ. Previous- 
 ly, he was for 8 yrs. Examr. in 
 Clinical Surg, in Toronto Univ. In 
 1879 he conducted the or.al exams, 
 in Physiol, at the annual exams, 
 of the Med. Council of Out. In 
 1882 he presided as Chairman of the 
 Comte. on Ethics at the Ont. .Med. 
 Assn. In 1885, at a few hours' 
 notice, ho enlisted the services of 15 
 med. students as surgical dressers 
 for service with the volunteers 
 during the N. W. campaign, who 
 were known as "The Toronto Gonl. 
 Hospital Ambulance Corps." In 
 1881, through his instrumentality 
 the first ambulance in Can. was 
 presented to the (Jenl. Hospital, and 
 lormod the nucleus of the Ambu- 
 lance ser\ ice now in >iso in Toi-onto. 
 In 185)<) the Doctor received the 
 Hon. degree of M.D. from Trin. 
 Univ., in recognition of his services 
 and zeal ni promoting tuu\ assisting 
 in the practical teaching of the med. 
 students of Ont. At present over 
 4r>0 students are in attendance at 
 the Toronto Hospital. Dr. O'R., 
 although a young man, has niori; 
 than a colonial reputation as an 
 iiutliority on hospital work and 
 management. His experience of 29 
 
 61 
 
 yrs. in hospital life and discipline 
 has been recognized largely in Eng. 
 and the U. S., where his advice is 
 often sought regarding the construc- 
 tion and management of hospitals. 
 In 1891 he was apptd. the hon. 
 representative in C'an. of the Royal 
 National Pension Fund for Nurses, 
 which exists under the presidency 
 of H. R. H. the Princess of Wales.

 OBONHYATEEHA, M.D., belongH 
 to the Six Nation Iiulian.s in C'an., 
 and was b. on i?<oir reservation, 
 near Brantford, Ont., Aug. 10, 1841. 
 His Eng. education was begun at 
 the Industrial Sch. there, but his 
 desire for knowledge became so 
 great that he entered soon after- 
 wards the Wesleyan Acad, at V\'i\- 
 braham, Mass. Notwithstanding 
 the fact that, from straitened cir- 
 cumstances, he had to work after 
 sch. hours for his support, he was 
 usually found standing at the head 
 of his class at exam., and during 
 his last year at the acad. he took 
 the maximum nund>er of marks in 
 various subjects of stiuly. For a 
 year after leaving VVilbraham he 
 taught sch. among his own people. 
 Hi.s coll. education wa« btgun at 
 Kenyon Coll., Ohio, where he stud- 
 ied for 3 yrs. He also spent 3 yrs. 
 at Toronto Univ. When the Prince 
 of Wales visited Can., I860, Oron- 
 hyatekha, then in his 20th year, was 
 selected by the chiefs of the Six 
 I Nations to present an address to the 
 ! son of their " Great Mother. " The 
 j impression he made on the young 
 i Prince and his party was so favour- 
 j able that Oroidiyatekha was invited 
 j to continue his .studies at Oxford, 
 I wliich he did, under the care of Sir 
 Hy. Acland, the Prince's piiysician, 
 wiio was then rc<jin^ Prof, of Med. 
 at Oxford. As a physician Dr. O. 
 had before him a career that gave

 every j)n)mi8e of (listiHction and 
 emolunu'iit. He (^oninienceil prac- 
 tice at Frankfonl, (Jut., and was 
 elected first Secy, of tlie Hastings 
 Co. Med. Assn. He removed to 
 London, I87r), and Imilt np an fx- 
 tensive mod. prai'tino in that city. 
 It was while living tlune that he 
 was initiated into the Ind. Order 
 of Foresters. He rose rapidly to 
 the posit i)n of Chief Kxecntive of 
 the order, and at tlie time of the 
 separation, 18.S1, he was clefited to 
 the office of Supreme Chief Ranger, 
 which he has held ever since. His 
 devotion to Forestry, with the ever- 
 increasing demands on Iiis time 
 made by the growth of the onler, 
 necessitated the neglect and final 
 abandonment of the active duties 
 of his profession. The rapid growth 
 of the Order of Foresters suggested 
 the desirability of liaving execu- 
 tive offices in Toronto, to which 
 city they were removed in 1889, 
 and since tlien Dr. O. 's official 
 residence has been in that city. 
 Dr. O. is not only a Forester. 
 He is also a Freemason, of high 
 degree, a Cood Templar and an 
 Orangeman. In 1873 he was one 
 of the deputation sent to Belfast 
 from the Grand Orange Lodge of 
 Brit. Am. He has always taken an 
 interest in rifle sliooting, and was a 
 mem. of the first VVimbledor. team 
 sent from Ont., 1871. At a dinner 
 given to him in London, Sept., 1894, 
 he describiMl himself as being " more 
 than a Brit, subject, for he had the 
 honour to be an ally of Ot. lirit." 
 Continuing, he said that it was 
 "owing to the assistance and in- 
 fluence of the Six Nations of Indians 
 that the Brit. Crown now held C^an. ''

 literary career in that country, at 
 first writing short stories and after- 
 wards undertaking more ambitious 
 works, a dramatic piece from his 
 pen — " The Wedding Day " - being 
 pro<luced in a London theatre. He 
 found acceptance with the public, 
 and has since then issued books in 
 rapid succession. \\y his work, 
 " Pierre and His People " (1892), he 
 earned the title of "The literary 
 discoverer of the Can. North- West. " 
 He subsequently catinued these 
 sketches in the sequ I entitled "An 
 Ad/enturer of the North," with the 
 iast .story of which ends the career 
 of Pierre. Among the best-known 
 of his other works are: "The Trans- 
 lation of a Savage" : "The Chief 
 Factor"; "Mrs. Falchion"; "A 
 Trespasser"; "The Trail of the 
 Sword"; "When Valnnmd Came 
 to Pontiac"; "The Seats of the 
 Mighty" (which was dramatized); 
 and " The Pompof the Lavillettes."

 he had monuments erected ct»m-

 of Can., and before liis retirement 
 from the (Jovt., had the satisfaction 
 of having these nKmumentH unveiled 
 at Lur\dy"fl Lane, Chrj-aler's Farm 
 andChateauguay. Ho also negotiated 
 and carried through arrangements 
 with Gt. iirit. for the erection and 
 maintenance of the fortifications at 
 Ks(iuimalt, and secured the services 
 of Imp. troop.s at that point. This 
 in the first instance in whidi Can. 
 has contributed her <juota to the 
 defence of the Dom., and has ri.sen to 
 the true conception of the Imp. idea

 Ml' P. having not only negotiated 
 with the Imp. authorities, l»ut also 
 with the leading membeni of the 
 Opposition in Parlt., who approved 
 of the proje(-t and loyally permitted 
 the necessary expenditure to go 
 through without ciiticism, so that 
 the atteniion of foreign nations 
 might not be unnecessiirily attracted 
 lo the works. These fortifications, 
 when completed, will prove one of 
 the strongest link.s in the chain of 
 the defence of the Empire. He also 
 iiiavigurated a movement for grant- 
 ing long service medals to the mil. 
 force of the Dom. , and paid special 
 attention to the strengthening of our 
 little permanent force, of which he 
 was a strong advocate, sending otfrs.

 the Con. Union of Ontario from the

 McCarthy, as Presdt. In these 
 responsible positions ho proved him 
 Helf a zeahms and skilful party 
 manager, enjoying the lOufidtMico 
 not only of the leaders, but also of 
 the rank and file of tiie party. He 
 was for many yrs. a close personal 
 friend of the late Sir Joiin Mac'ion 
 aid, and was one of the few wlu en- 
 joyed the inner confidence of the Old 
 Chieftain. He has always been a 
 friend to Can literature, being not 
 without some experiences of his own 
 in that direction. He was one of

 as a graceful and forcible writer, 
 and during his connection with the

 author of numerous anonymous hro-

 Mitre" (1866). He has long taken 
 a deep intei-est in the character and 
 status of the turf in Ont., and with 
 that view founded the Ont. Jockey

 attended with the most desirable 
 results. He is the owner of a large 
 stock farm at Eastwood, where for 
 the last ijuarter of a century his 
 family hcas lived, and he himself has 
 been engaged in tlie raising of .short- 
 horn cattle, iShropshire sheep, and

 sjiiritiiai guidance of the lite Rev. 
 Dr. Douglas, and, lat(?r, studied for 
 the ministry at Victoria Univ. , ! 
 Cobourg, where he had already en- \ 
 tcred in the Arts dept. His jjoriod 
 of probation was passed on eiroiiit 
 a'. Mark ham and other plaees, and 
 wliile at Thorold, 1861, he was re- 
 ceived into full connection and 
 ordained. His first appt. as a min. 
 was to North St. L'^., London, as 
 asst. to the Rev. Rich. Jones. From 
 there, at the expiration of his term, 
 he was sent to Bloor iSt. Ch. , Toronto, 
 and associated with the Rev, Dr. 
 Dewart, then at Elm St. Ch. Su(;h 
 was the estimation in which Ihe 
 young clergyman was held that, in 
 Ih66, he was chosen to bo first pas- 
 tor of a new ch. in Hamilton, to 
 commemorate the centenary of Am. 
 Methodism, and thus became, within 
 the shoit space of 10 yrs. , the min. 
 in a cong. of which he had formerly 
 been a mem. and Sunday Sch. teacher. 
 "Mr. P.'s acceptance of this cliarge," 
 wo are told by Mr. Rose, to whose 
 work on "Can. Bioo;raphy " we are 
 indebted for nearly all the facts em- 
 braced in this article, " was at first 
 opposed V)y the Conf. Stationing 
 Comte. ; but their misgivings as to the 
 ability of the young clergyman to fill 
 the ch. soon prove(f to be groundless, 
 for such were his talents and popu- 
 larity and so forcible was liis preach- 
 ing that Sunday after Sunday mul- 
 titudes flocked to hear the Word 
 spoken by his mouth." While at 
 Hamilton, Mr. P. was invited to 
 Toronto to take charge of the ch. 
 in Adelaide St. , but fearing that the 
 time he wovdd have to devote to the 
 superintendence of the building of 
 the Metropolitan Ch., then in course 
 
 of erection, would interfere with 
 what he considered to be strictly 
 ministerial work, he declined the 
 call, and accopte 1 that of St. James 
 St., Montreal, which had been sim- 
 ultiineously placed at his disposal, 
 in succession to his old friona, the 
 Rev. Dr. Douglas. Kcjual success 
 attended Mr. P. in this his new field, 
 and after a space of 3 yrs. ho re- 
 turned to Toronto and was placed in 
 charge of the Metropolitan Ch. in 
 that city, where he rapidly increased 
 the numi)er of tlio cong. At the 
 close '1.' his ministration there ho 
 was again removed to Elm St. Ch. 
 Mr. P. is a stai'ich supporter of 
 Temp., having first advocated its 
 (;auH0 wild only lo. He is also con- 
 nected witii the Y. M. C. A. and the 
 Bible Soc. He is one of the Dom. 
 representativeson the Inionil. Comte. 
 which selects the lessons for Sunday 
 Schs. all over the world. A mem. 
 of the Bd. Mid Seriate of Victoria 
 Univ., he is likewise a mem. of the 
 Bd. of the Wesl. Theol. Coll., Mont- 
 realj and also a mem. of the comte. 
 which has cliarge of the publishing 
 interests of the Methodist Ch. In 
 1878 he was elected the first Presdt. 
 of an assn. which was then formed 
 in Toronto, embracing ministers of 
 all denominations. In July of that 
 year the Wesl. Univ. of Ohio a<l- 
 mittod him to the degree of D.D. 
 On the death of Dr. Topp, he was 
 apptd., in 1879, to succeed him as 
 Chairman of the Home for Incur- 
 ables. At the Cenl. Conf. of 1886, 
 Dr. P. was elected Genl.S^cy. of Edu- 
 cation for the Meth. Ch. , which otiice 
 he holds at the present time. At 
 the ('onvowition of Victoria Univ., 
 1894, the degree of D.D. was con- 
 ferred upon him by the unanimous 
 vote of the Senate. Dr. P. w as sta- 
 tioned twice in St. James Ch., Mont-

 Toronto, and twice in Llm St. Ch ,

 London, Eng., Sept., lHrj3. Ten yrs. 
 later he was chosen to entablish and 
 manage a bi-anch of the co. in Mont- 
 real. This was tiie first introduc- 
 tirui of tho system of "guarantee" 
 to the Am. ("oritinont, and tho 
 business was naturally of u very 
 slow growth and somewhat ditlicult 
 to inculcate. Mr. K. (-ontinued 
 to manage the lOuropean (-o. in 
 (>an. until its retirement in 1868, 
 by which time a large and oxten- 
 fuvo cliciitf-/): and jjrospcrous busiiujss 
 had been acquired. The European 
 Co., which at first confined its busi- 
 ness to guarantet! and life, ventured 
 subsocpiontly up<m other branches of 
 ins., which proved disastnms, and 
 the cessation of the co. in Eng. re- 
 sulted in the transfer of its Can. 
 guarantee Inisinoss to tho Citizens' 
 Ins. Co. of Can., a local co. , like- 
 wise a mixed one ; but it was, how- 
 ever, the only orgnnization in Can. 
 then prepared to take up tho busi- 
 ness. Mr. R. continued for some 
 yrs. in charge of the guarantee 
 iiranch of the Citizens' Co., but it 
 being evident that the association of 
 other brancihes of ins. was detri- 
 mental to tho interests of guarantee 
 clients, he determined upon the 
 establishment of an independent co. 
 foi' the transaction solely of guaran- 
 tee business, upon the same Tines as 
 the original Cuaiantee Soc. of Lon- 
 don, w'uicii had been in existence for 
 over 45 yrs,, and had witnessed tho 
 surrender of numerous inexperienced 
 and over-vontnresome coi'ipctitors.

 The Mooireal \V}tni<s said it was

 whi.'*,' he was ed. He likewise 
 wrote .V letter of praise to the 
 autlu'i', as (lid also John (t. Wliittier 
 and VVni. Cullen lUyant. Mr. R.'s 
 translations have been commended 
 by Matthew Arnold, the late ed. of 
 the }:!'o d' Italia, the late Hon. 
 P. i\ O. Chauvean, and other 
 scholach. As a ))rose writer Mi'. U. 
 hasf^lways cultivated clearness and 
 a certain reserve— giving emjjhasis 
 to his-' thoiiglit i-ather by a caiefnl 
 '•hnicc of words than by the multi- 
 plioat m of e])ithetK. He has always 
 refrained from writing on sidijects 
 to which he had not given attention. 
 If he had thought less of his rolt as 
 a journalist he would have contrib- 
 uted more to the mags., l)ut he has 
 ahvtiys given the first |)]a e to tho 
 duties that lay nearest at hand. As 
 a I e viewer, he has alwa\'s been 
 conscientious, and many letters from 
 
 men and wf»mon of distinction bear 
 witness to his thoroughness and the 
 soundness of his judgment. Mr. R.'s 
 favourite studies (apart fi'om general 
 literature^ are philol., ethnol., hist, 
 and folk-h)rc. With Pi-of. Pen- 
 hallow, of Mcdill Univ., he in- 
 augurated the Montreal branch of 
 the Am. Folk-lore Soe., of which, as 
 wt 11 as of the lOng. Folk-lore Soc. , he 
 has long been a mem. He was Presdt. 
 of the Sbtntrcal bratu^h in 1894, and 
 has beei' also Presdt. of the Soc. <jl 
 Can. Literature, of the Soe. of His 
 torical Stu<lics, and the Second Sec. 
 (Fng. Lit. and Hi.st. )of tin; Royal Sue. 
 of Vau\. In 1877 he was made an hon. 
 mem. of the Lit. and Hist. Soc. of 
 Quebec, and, in 1895, he contributed 
 a sketch of *ae late Hon. Sir L. H. 
 Lafontaiiie, Bart., to the " Memorial 
 Biographies" of the Historic Oeneal. 
 Soc. of New Eng. In 1896 he wa.'i 
 elected a Fellow of the Royal Soc. of 
 Lit. of (Jt. Brit. Mr. R.'s more ih)tc- 
 worthy contributions to the news 
 paper and periodical press would, if 
 (collected, make several volumes. He 
 has long contemjjlated a series of 
 selections from them, and still hopes, 
 we believe, to put his design into 
 execution. Although in recent yrs. 
 his muse has been c()mparati\e!y 
 silent, the little volume of 1870 con- 
 tains but a fragment of Mr. W.'a 
 poetical writing-^, and, as even that 
 has long been out of print, we may 
 hope that he will ere long give us 
 another book of poems. — ,-;'7'' Laval

 While a young man Mr. K. wrote 
 some articles dealing with })ublic 
 (juestions for J/Ojiinioii I'lih/iijiir, 
 which attracted no little attention. 
 After hi.s restoration to health, he 
 resumed his literary labours, taking 
 up the subject of the deportation of 
 the Acadians from their native 
 country by the Eng., in H-'i-'J. 
 Being a direct descendant of som(> 
 of those who were despoiled and 
 expatriated, hikI liaving access to 
 much new matcsrial on the subject, 
 Mv. R. luul a special interest in 
 takiugupthis " mournful epic." In 
 his work " Acadia," being "missing 
 links of a lost chapter iii Am. hist." 
 (2 vols., N. Y. and Montreal, 1895), 
 he has arrived at t he conclusion that 
 the deportation of the Acadians was 
 not only^ cruel but urniecessary, and 
 that it was not ordered by the Home 
 Govt., but was carried out entirely 
 on the responsibility of (Jov. Law- 
 rence and for liis own puiposes. 
 "Tho book," says the Toronto 
 O'lohe, "is more fascinating and 
 more stirring than a romance. It 
 approaches in lengtlj nearly a thou- 
 sand pages, large octavo, and though 
 the author's puipose is anything but 
 to please, the interest intensifies 
 with the theme's yjrogression. The 
 style is copious and exuberant, and 
 possesses both grace and lucidity."

 ROBERTSON, John Rosa, journal- 
 ist and legislator, is the eld. s. of 
 John Robertson, a native of Nairn, 
 Scot., who was for many yrs. head 
 of the firm of John Robertson & Sons, 
 wholesale dry goods merchants, To- 
 ronto, by his wife, Margt., dau. of 
 Hector Sinclair, of Stornoway, Island 
 of Lewis, Scot. Mr. R. came to 
 Can., 1833, from Nairn. He was 
 the dii'ect descendant of Duncan R. , 
 chief of the clan of Struan Robert- 
 son, 1.S47. B. in Toronto, Dec. 28, 
 1841, he was ed. at U. C. Coll., and 
 attended that institution for 7 yrs. 
 
 In 1857, while at the coll. , he occupied 
 his Hi)are hours in learning his trade 
 as a printer. He conmienced a small 
 office which he established in hi" 
 father's house, and from which he 
 issued to the boys at school a paper 
 under the name of the Co/h'je 'J'imt-i, 
 and also the Iioy.s^ Tnufn, a niontiily 
 publication that existed l8fj7-()(). 
 He al.so published during a year 
 at the Model Grammar Sch., the 
 YoiUKj Caiinila. He picked uj) a 
 genl. knowledge of his bu.-^iness in 
 city oHices, and his face was a familiar 
 one in the old (hiarilian office, the 
 Olotn: oHice, the Ltndtr, and thai of 
 his friend, Alex. Jacques. In 181)1 
 he e(pu))ped a newspaj)er and joi» 
 office, and issued the Sjiortimj LiJ'> , 
 devoted to athletic sports, and sub- 
 secjuently continued the publication 
 of the (rvuinbler, a weekly satirical 
 paj)ei', atone time edited by W. .). 
 Kattray and Chief-.Justice Moss. In 
 18()3-64 he worked on the reportorial 
 and business staff of the Ltadcr, 
 continuing at the same time the 
 management of his printing oHice. 
 In 18(54 he joined the (I'lohe staff, as 
 city ed.,an(i, in 18(5(3, he was one of 
 the founders of the Dui/j/ Tele<jrapk, 
 a journal that had a high reputation 
 among the newspapers of Can. dur- 
 ing the 5 yra. of its existence. It 
 ceased publication, 1872, Mr. R. then 
 proceeding to London, Eng., where 
 for 3 3'rs. he actcfl as resident cor- 
 respondent and business representa- 
 tive of the Toronto Daily Ofohe. On 
 his return to Can., 1875, he assumed 
 the business management of the 
 Xation, edited by Prof. Cioldwin 
 Smith. In 1876 he established the 
 Ereniin/ Tele<jrain, a newspaper 
 which met with wonderful success 
 from its first issue, and which paper 
 Mr. R. still owns and conducts. 
 "The immediate success of this 
 paper," .said the Globe, in a recent 
 sketch of Mr. R.'s career, " is ample 
 evidence that he has graduated from 
 a good sch. of journalism. Neither 
 accident nor luck had aught to do 
 with his success. He launched out 
 in new and original lines, and the 
 good fortune that attended his efforts

 been publicly demonstrated by his 
 Masonic career and hia able manage- 
 ment of that gr«iat charitv- tlie 
 Hospital for Sick Children." Nir. K, 
 has hold, and still holds, high 
 rank in the Masonic order. Afler 
 liaving served Buccessively as (Jrand 
 Senior Warden, as Uist. l)ef)ty. 
 (irand Master and as I)('pty. (Jrand 
 Master, he became (>ran(t Master of 
 the (Jrand Lodge of Can., IS'.IO, and 
 was subsequently ciiosen (Jrand 1st 
 I'riniij)al of the Crand Roynl Arch 
 Chapter of Can. Ho is also (Jrand 
 Representative of the (Jrand Lo(lt;e 
 of Eng. in Can,, having been apptd. 
 to succeed Sir John A. Macdonald 
 in tiiat office on liio death of the 
 latter, 1891 ; indeed, every honour 
 at the disposal of his fellow-crafts- 
 men has fieen accorded him. Mr. 
 R. was Frcsdt. of the Can. Copyright 
 Assn., 1888-96, and rendered im- 
 j)ortant services in that regard. He 
 is the aiithor of the "History of the 
 Degrees of the Crvptic Rite in 
 Can.," etc. (1888); ol tha "History 
 of the Knights Templar of Can. 
 from the foundation of the Order to 
 tlie present time " (1890) ; of "Talks 
 with Craftsmen" (1893), and of 
 " Robertson's Landmarks of To- 
 ronto" (3 Vols.). He was also a 
 contributor to the U. C. Coll. 
 Memorial Volume, 1893. Ho is now 
 engaged on a complete history of 
 Masonry in Can. In 1888 the am- 
 bulance system in Toronto was un- 
 satisfactory, and with a view of 
 making it efficient, Mr. R. imported 
 from London, Eng., a modern ambu- 
 lance, f idly equipped, and presented 
 it to the city. It marked a new era 
 in this humane work. The city has 
 now 5 ambulances and a staff of otTrs. 
 for this special depL. l^ut it is as 
 (Jhairnian of the lid. of Trustees of 
 the Hosjiital for Sick Children, 
 Toronto, that he will be most grate- 
 fully ronicmbered. For many yrs. 
 
 he has wvrried the chief burden 
 of this important charitable insti- 
 tution, bringing to its needs not 
 ordy much money of his own, 
 but aiding it with the full force 
 of his powers as a financier and 
 organizer. At Christmas, I89G, he 
 asked for public 8ul)scriptions to the 
 hospital tiirough the Telegrani, and 
 in . iJW weeks $ir),()(J() were sub- 
 sc; 'd and jtaid. At a cost of 
 .^K), K) he built and fouiuletl, in 
 connection with the Hospital, the 
 Lakeside Home for Little (Jiiildren, 
 at Lighthouse Point, Toronto Island, 
 with an aecommo<latioii for l.'iiO

 ment. Here flnring the summer

 won back to health and strength 
 with the ai<l of the cool breez«>s

 gift ha^? been amj>lilied by fuither 
 donations amounting to §40,(X)0, a 
 total of *70,(X»0, At the Dom. g. e. 
 1896, Mr. R. was returne<l to the 
 Ho. of Commons, for East 'I'oronto, 
 defeating Emers<m Coatsworth, the

 by a majority of 1610 votes. He was 
 returned as an Ind. ('on., pledged to 
 oppose any (Jovt. whicii would in- 
 terfere with the Man. Scii. question, 
 and pledged to support the "Na- 
 tional Policy," and to vote f'"'- the 
 general y<n\ of the country. His 
 political career, it is believed, will 
 be a creditable one. Mr. R. is an

 wliere he took his degree in 18f>.'>, 
 being made a D.C.L. (hmi. cntuid) 
 of the same, 1879. Though orig 
 inally intencled for the army, ho 
 had alxmt determined to adopt 
 another career when circumstances 
 combined to contirm his original in 
 tenti<jn. Can. had contributed gen- 
 erously to the Patriotic Fiiiul during 
 the Crimean war, and II. K. H. the 
 Prince Con.-iort was desirous of ac- 
 knowledging it by bestowing a com- 
 mission in his own distinguished 
 regt., the Ritle Brigade, upon some 
 worthy Can. For many yrs. both 
 the public and private life of V. C. 
 had been dignified and adorned by 
 Sir J. B. Robinson, who, alike by 
 oflRcial station and public coii,sent, 
 was regarded as the most eminent 
 subject of tlie Crown in hi.s jirovince. 
 It was, therefore, a tilting and grace- 
 ful acknowledgment of his uii-

 with the2ud Batt. of his regt. dur- 
 ing the Indian mutiny (medal), and 
 throughout the soond phase of the 
 Ashanti war, from Dec. 12, 1873, 
 an Brigade Major to the Phiropean 
 Brigade, including tlie battle of 
 Amoafui, l)attlo of Ordahsu, and 
 capture of (-"oomassie (mentioned in

 war, 187l>, and was present in the 
 engagement at Ulundi (mentioned 
 in despatches, Bt. of Lt. -Col. , medal 
 with cla.sp). He became a full -^ol., 
 ISHf), and went on half pay in tlie 
 following year. His merits have 
 been recognized by the many im- 
 portant stall appts. which ho has 
 lield. He was for a time Mil. In- 
 structor at Sandhurst, then Asst. 
 Adjt.-Genl. at Aldershot, and Bri- 
 gacie Majoi there. In 1890 he be- 
 came Asst. Mil. Secy, at the Horse 
 (luards. In 1892 he was apptd. to 
 the command of tl:e troops at the 
 Mauritius, carrying with it the tem- 
 porary rank of Maj.-(»enl., an appt. 
 all the more popular in the ser- 
 vice, as it saved Col. R. uoiu the 
 operation of tlio 57 yrs. rule, to 
 which he would have fallen a victim 
 under other circumstances. The 
 Army and Navy (fazcfte, in a highly 
 eulogistic article, expressed the satis- 
 faction which was felt in the service 
 that an officer, " zealous, courteous, 
 capable and deserving," should tlms 
 escape a regulation wliich had been 
 disastrous to the hopes and aspira- 
 tions of .so mapv old and deserving 
 officers, and declared that the whole 
 service would regard it as a liealthy 
 sign of the encouragement of merit. 
 He returned to Eng. early in 1895 
 to assume the <luties of Lt.-Oov. and 
 Secy, of Chelsea Hospital, which 
 post he still retains. He is the 
 author of a small vol.: "Obser-

 the l)uke of Wurtemberg on the 
 system of attack of the Prussian

 and continued aa such until 1872,

 came ed. of the "Law Reports.' 
 In 1885 he was electeil a Bencher of 
 the Law Soc. of U. C, and retired 
 from the editorship of the " Re- 
 ports." For many yrs. he travellefl 
 tiie western circuit, only accepting 
 special retainers elsewhere. De- 
 voting himself exclusively to his 
 profession he has been engaged in 
 nuiny cases of great public interest 
 and importance, notably the case of 
 Whelan, convicted in 1808 of the 
 murder of the Hon. T. D. McGee, 
 M.P. , when he argued fcu-theCrown 
 the writ o'^ error after the trial 
 (28 U. C. R. 1). He appeared for 
 the defence in the famous political 
 lil)ir;l suit of the Queen cs. Wilkin- 
 son, and made the application to tlie 
 Court to have the late Hon. Geo. 
 lirown convicted for contempt for 
 liis attack on tlie late Sir Adam 
 Wilson (41 U. C. R. 1). In 1884 he 
 argued before the Judicial Comte. of 
 the Privy Council tiie case for the 
 Doni. Ciovt. in the arbitration with 
 the Province of Man., resjjecting 
 the boundaries of that provhice. 
 In 1885 he was leading coun.sel for

 the City of Toronto in the arbitra- 
 tion with the Street Ry. Co., which 
 vvont in appeal to the PrivyCouncil, 
 where Mr. 11. argued the case in 
 1893. In the long litigation known 
 as Conmee vs. the Can. Pac. Ry , 
 Mr. R. acted for the defence (except 
 w iiile engaged elsewhere). He also 
 appeared before the Privy Council 
 in the important (rases of lialdwin 
 VH. Kingston, and Tennant m. the 
 Union Bank. In 1893 he was re- 
 tained with Sir Chas. Russell, then 
 Atty.Genl. of Eng. (now Lord

 of Eng.), and Sir Richard Webstei', 
 formerly Atty.-(Jenl. of Eng., upon

 complimented by the London Tunes 
 for the "brilliant speech at the con- 
 clusion of the argument in which he 
 suniinarized the whole case, reduc- 
 ing it to a series of concise ])roposi- 
 tions which, from the Brit, point of 
 view, demonstrated the absurdity of 
 the Am. claims." Upon the coiu^hi- 
 .sion of his labours before this tri- 
 bunal, Mr. R. was ofl'ered knight- 
 hood for his services, whicih for pri- 
 vate reasons he respectfullydeclined. 
 Except in so far as the dut ics of his 
 profession are concerned, Mr. R. is 
 in no way connected M'ith public; 
 life, and is in no sens., a public

 ROSAMOND, Bennett, niauufac- 
 turer and legislator, is the s. of the 
 late James lloaamond, a native of 
 f^eitrim, Irel., by his wife, Margt. 
 Wilson, a native of Paisley, Scot. 
 B. at (-arleton Place, Ont., May 10, 
 1833, ho was ed. at the (irannnar 
 Sell, there, and commenced his 
 business career under his father, 
 who had established flour, woollen 
 and others mills at that village. In 
 1857 the family moved to Almonte, 
 the father having purchased the 
 groinid property and i-ights of the 
 Ramsay VVcxjllen Cloth Manfy., and 
 built mills there. In 1802 he and 
 his bro. VVm. took a lease of the 
 concern. They doubled the capacity 
 of their mill, and, in 1866, admitted 
 George Stephen (now Lord Mount 
 Stephen) as a partner. Since then 
 the business has continued to grow, 
 and is now known as the Rosamond 
 Woollen Co., Mr. R. being Pre.sdt. 
 thereof. He is also Presdt. of the 
 Almonte Knitting Co., and is inter- 
 ested in the Cobourg Woollen Co., 
 of which his bro. is Presdt. In 
 1890 he was elected Presdt. of the 
 Can. Manfrs'. Assn. As a public 
 man, he was Reeve and afterwards 
 Mayor of Almonte and Chairman of 
 the Bd. of Education. Politically, a 
 Con., he unsuccessfully contested 
 North Lanark for the llo. of Com- 
 mons, as an Ind. member of the 
 party, against Hon. Wm. Macdou- 
 gall, Nov., 1864, and was again a can- 
 didate for the same seat, g. e. i372. 
 He was also unsuccessful at the 
 Provl. c. 6. 1871. He was first 
 returned to the Ho. of Commons, 
 Dec, 1891, replacing Mr. Jamieson, 
 on his appt. as a Co. Ct. Judge, and 
 has been re-elected at every subse 
 quent appeal to the people. He 
 was apptd. a mem. of 'the Finance 
 
 C'omte. of the Lib. -Con. Union of 
 Ont., 1896. He is a believer in n 
 moderate protective policy, and 
 favours recifjrocity with the U. S. 
 so far as possible, consistent with 
 our connection with Kug. He is 
 totally op])oaed to anything likely 
 to bring about annexation to the

 B. in Montreal, Aug. 23, 1847, ho 
 was el. at the High Sch. there, and 
 was in his youth a noted athlete, 
 holding the record for the fastest 
 half-mile on snowshoes. He was a 
 capt. in the Montreal Garr. Arty., 
 and served with that corps at Tioiil 
 River on the occasion of the Fenian 
 invasion, 1870. Entering the bank- 
 ing firm of Morton, Rose & Co., 
 London and N. Y. , he succeeded his 
 father therein, and is now head of 
 the firm. In 1880 he joined the 
 present Lord Moinit Stephen and the 
 present Lord Strathcona in the syn- 
 dicate formed by those noblemen 
 for the construction of the Can. Pac, 
 Ry. , and remained a mem. of the 
 CO. for a considerable period. Mr. 
 R. is a prominent mem. of the Eng. 
 Jockey Club, and has won with his 
 horses some great events on the 
 Kii'T. turf, including a 2000 guinea 
 race at Newmarket, 1886. 1 n 1 893 he 
 took to yachting, and, in 189.5, after 
 the race in which Lord Dunraven 
 was nnsuccessful, issued a challenge, 
 through the Royal Victoria Yacht 
 Club of Eng., to sail a series of 
 matches for the A-menca\s Cup in 
 1896, with the cutter yacht Distant 
 Shore, which challenge was accepted, 
 but M'as subsequently withdrawn by 
 Mr. R. in view of " the general ini 
 
 Eression that his challenge might 
 e construed as an expression of 
 opinion on the result of the list

 office in Montreal, proceeding after- 
 ^valds to Merrickvillo, Ont. , where 
 lie became connected with the Mer- 
 lickville Chronicle, a, weekly paper 
 founded by the Rev. Dr. Muir(7. v.). 
 Subsequently, he was city ed. of the

 Marcus Talbot, M.P. In 1S.58 he 
 became mangr. for the late Sanil. 
 Thompson, Toronto, for whom he 
 published the Daily Atlax, and with 
 whom he went to Quebec, 1859, on 
 the latter's becoming Parliamentary 
 and Department Printer there. Mr. 
 R. remained with Mr. T. until he 
 threw up his contract in the early 
 sixties. A new firm was then 
 formed — the firm of Hunter, Rose 
 & Co. — which took over the contract 
 and secured its renewal. When the 
 seat of govt, was transferred to 
 Ottawa, 1865, Hunter, Rose & Co.

 wont with it, and from that time, 
 in addition to their regular work, 
 devoted some attention to the pub- 
 licati(m of works of fiction and sch. 
 books. For this purtKJse they 
 opened a branch in Toronto, U) 
 which city the firm removed its 
 entire establjsliment on the termin- 
 ation of their contract with the

 the "Nestor*' of his profession in 
 Can., and it is satisfactory to know 
 that his industry and enterprise 
 have pliiced iiim in a position of 
 pecuniary ind. Widely as he is 
 known to the Can. people in his 
 business relations, he has acquired 
 a still more extended reputation 
 through his efforts as a promoter of

 After the overthrow of the Empire 
 ho returned to Can., where he de- 
 voted himself to the collection and 
 classification of tho fauna and flora 
 of his native country, a work 
 that had never before been at-

 " Vaccination a Medical Delusion" 
 (188.~>), and "Med. Practice of the 
 Future" (1887). During the smad- 
 pox epidemic in Montreal, 1885, Dr. 
 R. was a prominent opponent of 
 
 vaccination, declaring that it wan 
 
 not crdy useless as a preventative of 
 small pox, but that it propagated the 
 disease when practised during the 
 existenire of an epidemic. In casi- 
 of vaccination, he strongly advo 
 catoa the strict enforcement of sani 
 tation and i.solalion. He nuiintains 
 that personal and municipal <leanli 
 ncss is the only scientific .safeguard 
 against zymotic rliseases. Whtmtho 
 authorities attempted to enforce 
 vaccination by fines and imprison- 
 ment, Dr. R. organized the Anti- 
 Comf»ulsory \'a(!cination League, 
 and successfully resisted what ho 
 considered an outrage on human 
 rights. Dr. R. is a radical reformer 
 in religion, med., politics, sociology 
 and dietetics, and a total abstainer

 thinker and a speaker. His later 
 discourses in connection with the 
 celeljration of St. Jean Baptiste, 
 the visit of Albani and the Centen- 
 ary of Christopher Columbus, have 
 all been notable uttenincos. His

 and that ofLL. D. ,from the same 
 seat of learning, 188,3. He is also a

 was ed, partly by private tuition 
 and partly at a private sch. When

 Jas. Sadlier, a younger mem. of the 
 firm of D. & J. Sadlier, publishers, 
 N. Y., Boston and Montreal (he d. 
 1869). One of her first works was 
 a collection of traditionary stories, 
 published in Montreal, entitled 
 "Tales of the Olden Time." In one 
 of her numerous tales of Irish imnii 
 grant life and adventure, called 
 " Eleanor Preston," there are some 
 sketches of Lower Can. rural life and 
 scenery, which go to show that tlie 
 faculty of close observation had 
 developed itself very early in her 
 case. Mrs. S.'s literary works mny 
 be divided into three classes: (1) 
 The historical Irish romance, of 
 which the " Confederate (yhieftains"' 
 is the best and most elaborate ; (2) 
 her didactic and religious works, 
 original and translated, of which 
 " De Ligny's Life of the Blessed 
 Virgin " may be cited as an example; 
 and (3) a dept. or sub-dept. of 
 fiction, in which Thos. D'Arcy Mc- 
 iiee consitlered her wholly un- 
 rivalled, and which may be calleil 
 the romance of Irish immigration. 
 LInder this last head may be in- 
 cluded her "Willy Burke," "The 
 Blakes and Flanagans," " Con 
 O'Regan," " Eleanor Preston," 
 "Aunt Honor's Keepsake," etc. 
 In all, Mrs. S. is the author of some 
 60 works, original and translated. 
 One of the latest of her productions 
 is "The Poems of Thos. D'Arcy 
 McGee, with an introduction and 
 biographical sketch" (1886). Mrs.

 SANDHAM, Alfred, author and 
 numismatist, was b. in Montreal, 
 Nov. 19, 1838, and ed. at private 
 schs. in that city. When very 
 young he left liomc to take a situa- 
 tion in N. Y. On his return lie 
 entered the service of the Montreal 
 Telegraph Co., and was subsequently 
 in that of the Grand Trunk Ry. A 
 change in his religious views led 
 to his appt. as 'xenl. Secy, of the 
 Y.M.C.A., with beachiuarters at 
 Montreal. He held this |)osition 
 for 10 yrs. , and whilst holding it 
 emphiyed his leisure in liteiary 
 work. Among Mr. S.'s publications 
 are: " Ville Marie; or, Montreal, 
 Past and Present," a work which 
 will always be valuable for its pains- 
 taking research; ''Coins, Tokens 
 and Medals of Can.," the pioneer 
 work on Can. numismati(;s, and 
 several interesting liistorical and 
 numismatic works pul)lished chietly 
 for private circulation. Among 
 these, some of which are now ex- 
 ceedingly rare, are: "McCiill Coll. 
 and its Medals"; "Medals Com- 
 memorative of the Visit of the Prince 
 of Wales to Can."; " Hi.storic Med- 
 als of Can."; " The Trade Tokens of 
 Montreal"; and " Montreal and its 
 FortiTications." Ail are illustrated. 
 Mr. S. also originated the Can. Anti- 
 ijiuirian and Xnnti'<matic Journal, of 
 which he was for over 2 yrs. the 
 chief ed., tlie greater portion of the 
 •naterial used, and the illustrations, 
 being prepared by him personally.

 SANDHAM, Henry, R.C.A., bro. 
 of the i)rccc(ling, was b. in Mont- 
 real, May 24, 1S42, and was ed. 
 there. After spending some mths. 
 in the country with his father, he 
 :'eturned to Montreal and entered 
 the employ of the late W. Notman, 
 photographer to the Queen, whose 
 partner he subsequently became. 
 From his earliest yrs. young H. was 
 fond of drawing, but he had never 
 received any artistic tuition. By 
 Mr, Notman he was placo<l under 
 the charge of J. A. Fraser (q.i:), 
 then at the head of the Art Dept. 
 of Notnian's establishment, ami who 
 has since .so highly distinguished 
 himself as a painter. He had also 
 the advantage of personal instruci- 
 tion from Vogt, Way and Jacobi. 
 Mr. S. at once took a leading place 
 in all branches of his profession. 
 
 Later, he proceeded to Europe for 
 further .study, and on his return, 
 1880, took up his residence in Bos- 
 ton. Here he is nuuih in request, 
 both as a portrait painter and as a 
 painter of battle scenes and historical 
 occurrences. He excels as an illus- 
 trator of books and mags., examples 
 of his work being frcipiently seen in 
 the high-class publications of Lon- 
 don, Boston and N. Y. Of portraits, 
 one of his best is that of the late Sir 
 John Macdonald, Prime Minister of 
 Can., which was executed for the 
 Dom. (iovt., Ottawa. Of historic 
 paintings, his "Battle of Lexing- 
 ton," executed for the town of 
 Lexington at a cost of $4,(XM), his 
 " March of Time," and his " Fouml- 
 ing of Maryland," are probably tlie 
 best known. On the formation of 
 the Royal Can. Acad, of Art, 1880, he 
 was chosen to be an Academician by 
 the founders, the Mar(iuis of Lf)in'e 
 and the Prin(;ess Louise. Mr. S.

 SANDYS, Edwin William, littera-

 Fi-ancis Wm. Sandys, Archdeacon 
 of Huvon, by bis wife, Elizabeth 
 A. B. Moreau. B. at Chatham, Ont., 
 June 9, I860, he received his educa- 
 tion principally under his father. 
 Always an enthusiastic sportsman, 
 he has contributed for many yrs. to 
 that dept. of literature a great var- 
 iety of articles and sketches, illus- 
 trating his experiences with the big 
 game of the forest or the lordly 
 quarries of the stream. He wrote 
 formerly over the signature of 
 "Nomad." On the completion of 
 the C. P. Ry., he was engaged to 
 write the liteiature on hunting and 
 fishing published by that co. , from 
 time to time. Since then he has 
 written a great deal for O'.cin'J 
 (N. Y. ), and is, we believe, on the 
 editorial statl'of that paper. A Can.

 acted as Private Secy. , Miss S. re- 
 moved to Baltimore, July, 1889, 
 and thence, in 181>0, to N. Y. , 
 where she still resi(ie.s, and is in 
 active employmcni With the ex- 
 ception of what she did for the 
 Standard, Miss S. wrote little for 
 publication till l889-9(), as she had 
 no time for original work. Siiu;e 
 the end of 1889, however, she has 
 written a large number of essays and 
 miscellaneous articles and pieces for 
 the Am. pres.s. For the X. A . lierifw 
 she wrote : "In Favour of the Jew " 
 and " Rescue Work Among Fallen

 the iti.sect posts which affect the dif-

 titled : "In.sects Injurious to Fruit " 
 (1882 ; 2nd ed. 1893), was largely an 
 outgrowth of the stutly of those

 tliere under a private tutor. He 
 -tu.Ucl !ciw iu i/hc o/uce of Crooks 
 it Smith, Toronto, and was called to 
 the bar, 1848. He entered on the 
 practice of his profession in Ottawa, 
 and soon became one of the leaders 
 of the local bar. Elected Mayor of 
 Ottawa, 1852, he was, at the g. o. 
 1857, returned to the Legislature, 
 as mem, for the city. After suffering 
 
 defeat in I86.S, he remained out of 
 public life until the Cnion of 1867, 
 when he was elected to represent the 
 Federal Capital in the (irst Legisla- 
 ture of Ont. He continued at To- 
 ronto until 1873. In Dec, 1871, he 
 was elertetl Sneaker of the Ont. 
 Asseml)ly, and became subsec^uently 
 Comnr, of Crown l^ands uiuler Mr. 
 Blake in the Adnui. formed by tliat 
 statesman. He also held the same 
 oHico under Sir Oliver .Vlowat, who 
 .succeeded Mr. Blak*; in the i)rendor- 
 ship of Ont. On the formation of 
 the Mackenzie Atlnin. at Ottawa, 
 Nov. 7, 1873, he was orii of tho 
 Privy Council, and, in .Ian., 1874, lie 
 was apj)l(l. Secy, of Slate and Regr. - 
 (ionl. of Can. He was called to tho 
 Senate by the Karl of Dutl'orin, Mr,\i. 
 13, 1874. Mr. S. remained a mem. 
 of the Mackenzie Oovt. throughout 
 its existence, retiring therefrom with 
 his leader and colleagues, Oct. 16, 
 1878. During the whole of that 
 nericKl he was one of tho Covt. 
 leaders in the Senate, l)ccoming 
 aftiuwards leader of tiie Opposition 
 iu that bodv, conjointly with the 
 Hon. Mr. I'elletier, C.M.C. On 
 tiie formaticm of the new Lib. Cabi- 
 net under Sir W. Luurier, Jidy, 
 1896, he again accepted ortice as 
 Secy, of State and Kegr.-(Jenl. of 
 Can., and continues in the same 
 at tho pre.sent time (1898). Mr. S. 
 pos.sesses a marked and ready adapt- 
 ability for adnnnistralion, and has 
 been called upon at one time or an- 
 other duiing his ministerial career, 
 to discharge the duties of almost 
 every position in the Cabinet, tho 
 <luties being frequently cumulative 
 in his hands. The Icgishitive enact- 
 ment by which he is most widely 
 known, and which it has been said 
 forms his highest title to a place 
 among Can. lav.-makers, is the Can. 
 Temp. Act, 187<'), otherwise known as 
 " The Scott Act." This measure 
 was the outci)me of a long agitation 
 on the part of tho temp, people for 
 an advance in some way U[)on tho 
 license laws and tlie old " Dunkin 
 Act," until then the only ones in 
 force. The "Dunkin Act" was a

 ilefoctivo a character that it was

 hibitioiiiHlH, and wuh not of much 
 UHc HH a utiidt) in framing anotluM'

 therefore, is a pioneer in the path 
 of local option le^,;Hlation in reguni 
 to the litpior tnilKc, and aH a local 
 hiHtorian hii.s olwcrved, "it is a 
 remarkulile triliute to the Hagacity

 dozen amendments are all that tho 
 Prohibitionists are asking, and of 
 these sonui arise out of an advance 
 in the temp, sentiment of the 
 country which couid not have been 
 legislated for in tho first place." 
 Another important Act which owes 
 its origin to Mr. S., and whicli now 
 forms part of our constitutional sys- 
 tem, is the Separate Sch. Law of Ont., 
 prepared an(l (-arried through Parlt. 
 by him as a private mom., in 1863 ; 
 a measure which was tlio means of 
 removing a vexed question from the 
 |K)litical arena and of all ing much 
 pidilic irritati<Hi. Ik)th persoruilly 
 and politically Mr. S. is exceedingly 
 popular — in Toronto Mr. Blako 
 (jaued him " the moat popular mem. 
 of the Hou.sfc." He entered politi- 
 cal life as a Con., but since 1871, has 
 been a Lib. In religion, he is a R.C.,

 Mr. S, to bo " the leading High Sch. 
 master — the ditx of the profession — 
 in the Province." It is understiwd 
 tluit he has thrown much energy and 
 strong conunon-senso into his work, 
 and that, without neglecting any 
 dept. of study, he has given special 
 attention to Science and Eng. , which, 
 till .lis time, had been much neg- 
 lected. The result of his admn. is 
 seen in the fitting up and eciuipment 
 of special science-rooms for practical 
 work by the pupils in chenrstry and 
 physic-'s, and in the greatly ii.iproved 
 status of the science masters. Not 
 only chemist, and physics, but bot- 
 any and zool. are now taugiit by 
 observation and experience, and the 
 univs. have recognized the ability of 
 the schs. to cope with this work by 
 accepting Science in lieu of French 
 or (ie man at matriculation. There 
 have also been formed science teach-

 SELLAB, Robert, author and jour- 
 nalist, is a native of Elgin, Scot. 
 He has been for many yrs. ed. and 
 prop, of the Can. f//eaHer (Hunting- 
 don, P.Q. ). In this paper was first 
 ptiblisiied the stories written by 
 him, known as the " Gleaner Tales," 
 whi'jh have since appeared in book- 
 form {2nd od., 1895). Some of these 
 tales are based on actual incidents 
 in the lives of the early settlers in 
 the ohl Co. of Huntingdon, and the 
 scenes of all are laid in the wedge- 
 shaped territory which forms the 
 south-westorn extremity of the Pro- 
 vince of Quebec, with the St. I^w- 
 rence on one side and the U. S. on 
 the other. They display a high de- 
 gree of literarv merit. Indeed, it 
 lias been said o! some of them, that 
 no ("an. writer surpasses Mr. S. in 
 his charm of narrative and delicacy 
 
 of style. Later, he published 
 " Hemlock : a Tale of the War of 
 1812," which is also a contribution 
 to the semi-historical literature of 
 Can. Mr. S. is likewise the author 
 of "The History of the Co. of 
 Huntingdon and of the Seigniories 
 of Chilteauguay and Beauliarnois 
 from their First Settlement to the 
 year 18.38 " (1888). As a journalist, 
 Mr. 8. has been for several yr*'. the 
 accepted interpreter of the feelings 
 and aspirations of tlie Prot. minority 
 in Quebec. He was the author of 
 the pamphlet signed "Quebec Loy- 
 alist," describing "The Disabilities 
 of Protestants in the Province of 
 Quebec," which was published by the 
 E(iual Rights Assn. of Out., during 
 the agitation raised by Mr. Mercier's 
 Jesuits' Estates Bill, 1888; of a letter 
 addressed to Sir H. O. Joly, " In 
 Defence of the Quebec Minority " 
 (Feb., 1894), and of various, papers 
 communicated to the Toronto Globe 
 and other journals in reference to 
 tho Man. Sch. <iuc8tion. As a lec- 
 turer he has won more than a local 
 reiiutation, one of the best of his 
 efforts in this line being " The 
 Scottish Pioneers of Can.' Politi-

 sented himself as a candidate in

 father was a prartising physician. 
 His family originally resided at 
 W'ybunhurv in (Jhesliire. Hu re- 
 ceived his early edvication al Kton. 
 On proceeding to Oxford, he first 
 entered as an undergraduate of 
 l'hri«t C"h., l»ut heing elected to a 
 deniyHhij) in Magdalen, completed 
 his course in that coll. He gainetl, 
 in 184'2, the Hertford scliolarHliij) for

 to the degree of M.A. He gained 
 the Chancjellor's prizes for fiatin 
 Veree, 1845 ; for the Latin Essay, 
 1846 ; and for the Eng. Essay, 1847. 
 In the latter year he was elected a 
 Fellow of Univ. Coll. In the same 
 year he was called to the bar at 
 Lincoln's lini, hut he has never prac- 
 tised law. He is an hon. Felh)w of 
 Oriel Coll. and of Univ. Coll. In 
 1850 ho was apptd. by the (Jovt., 
 Asst. Secy, of th(! Royal Conin. on 
 the state of the Univ. of Oxford. 
 He wa.sal8o Secy, to the 2nd Oxfoid 
 Comn. , and was a mem. of the l'o]m- 
 lar Education Conni. api)td. in 1858. 
 The same year he was apptd. to the 
 fieffitM professorship of Mod. Hist, 
 at Oxford, and he held that (rhair till 
 180(i. During the Am. civil war, he 
 Ijecanie an active champion of the 
 North, and in furtherance of that 
 cause, wrote " Does the Bible Sanc- 
 tion Am. Slavery?" (1863), "On the 
 Moi-ality of the Emancipation I'ro- 
 (daniation " (do.), and other pamph- 
 lets on the same subject. In 1864 
 he visited the U. 8. He met every- 
 w^here with a warm and enthusiastic 
 reception, and had the degree of 
 LL. D. conferred upon him by Brown 
 
 Univ. On his return to Eng. ho 
 published " Plngland and America" 
 (1865), an«l "The Civil War in 
 America" (1866). In Nov., 1868, 
 having resigned his chair at Oxford, 
 ho again visited the U. S. , and 
 gave lectures on Eng. Constitutional 
 Histr)ry at the newlvfounde<l Cor- 
 nell Univ., Ithaca, N.V. In 1871. 
 having exchanged this post for that 
 of a non resident p'ofessorship, he 
 removed to Toronf , where he has 
 since resided. On coming to Can,, 
 I'rof. S. at once took a prominent 
 position in literary and educational 
 circles. He was apptd. a Senator of 
 Toronto Univ., and, in 1874, was 
 elected to the Council of Public 
 Instrn., Out., as the representative 
 of the public sch. teachers of the 
 Province (Voft: Prof, Smith, 1612; 
 .1. H. Sangster, 1.3.35). He l»ecanic 
 also Presdt. of the Provl. Teachers' 
 Asan, In these and other public 
 positions to which he was called, he 
 found opportunity for rendering use- 
 ful and important services as well to 
 education aiul letters as to the cause 
 of political morality. For some yrs. 
 he contributed articles on "Current 
 Events " to a mag. published at 
 Toronto under the name of the dtv. 
 Monthly. Later, he was the main- 
 stay of the Nation, a weekly journal 
 devoted to literature and politics, 
 and, subsequent thereto, he pub 
 lished several series of a periodical 
 conducted entirely by himself, called 
 the liystnnder. In 1SS4 ho founded 
 the Toronto Wtek, and was, up to 
 1887, a frequent contributor to it.s 
 pages. He now wiites for the Farm- 
 ers Sim, the organ of a farmers' assn. 
 called "The Patrons of Iiulustry." 
 "It was inipo.ssible," said Mr. Le 
 Sueur, from whose article on Prof. S. 
 in the N. Y. Siui, 1891 , we have taken 
 some of our facts, " that so much 
 journalistic work of the very highest 
 class should not have a beneficial 
 effect upon the character of the To- 
 ronto press, and to some extent also, 
 upon that of jourruilism throughout 
 the Dora." Continuing, he observed : 
 "For some time after coming to Can. 
 Prof. S. retained the conviction.

 Mch. 26, 1850. Several of his ances- 
 tors were U. E. Loyalists, and hu 
 likewise claims descent, on the pa- 
 ternal si<le, from John Winthropc, 
 Ist (Jov. of Mass. , and the founder 
 of the city of Boston. He pursued 
 his scientific studies first at McGill 
 Univ. (B.A.Sc, with Ist rank hon 
 ours in Geol. and Mineral., 1874), 
 and afterwards at Gdttengen Univ. 
 (M.A.; Ph.D.. 1S77). In the same 
 year, he was elected a Fellow of the 
 Geol. Soc. of London, Eng. He ia a 
 Fellow also of the f^eol. Soc. of Am.

 Science Master in Hamilton Coll. 
 Inst., 1877-79; Prof, of Chemistry

 1882 87 ; StateGoologist of Georgia, 
 1888-93 ; and is now (1898) conduct- 
 ing geol. investigations in the West 
 Indies. His ob.stirvations on the 
 interesting geol. phenomena of his 
 native valley, near Dundas, gave rise 
 to enthusiasm in scientific work at 
 an early age, and from his coll. days 
 to the present time he has been 
 engaged in original geol. researches. 
 After leaving coll., he was tempor- 
 arily connected with the Geol. Sur-

 acted as field and office asst. under 
 Dr. Bell, one of the asst. directors

 nience<l his more important investi- I 
 gations, of intoiTil. character, upon I 
 the origin and history of the (ireat , 
 [jikes an<l of Niagara Falls. Many j 
 papers on th(;.'<o researches from his ' 
 ])cn, dating from 1881 to the present ' 
 time, have apjif nred in the publica- I 
 tions of the Am. Phil. Soc., the Royal , 
 Soc. of Can., the (Jeol. So(!. of l/jn- 
 don, the Am. Jour, of Scirnci, the 
 Bulletins of the Geol. Soc. of Am., 
 etc. Those papers and his "Glacial 
 Erosion in Norway "("Trans. Royal 
 Soc, of Can.," 1887), contain the data 
 
 f;athered in tiie field, which "have 
 leen of the highest value in dispel- 
 ling mistaken ideas and lea<ling to 
 true conclusions in f|ueKtiona of the 
 greatest interest and importance" 
 (Prof. T. G. Rinney), as, for example, 
 in the supposed suHiciency of glacial 
 erosion alone, for the creation of 
 lake-basins and other physical fea- 
 tures. The author has been aV>le to 
 restore the outlines of several great 
 river and valley systems f>f the past, 
 which are now buried beneath the 
 drift or drowned under the waters 
 of the modern lakes ; and he was the 
 (list to solve the mysteries of the 
 origins and the changing ejiisodes of 
 tlie (ireat Lakes and Niagara Falls. 
 Estimates of a conjeiituial (;haracter 
 as to the age of the Falls have been 
 made by other writers, but Dr. S.'s 
 computation of 32,000 yrs. was the 
 first based upon the discovery of 
 their true history. His investiga- 
 tions have developed the evidence of 
 the stupendous changes of level of 
 land and sea, such as the oscillation 
 of tile easterji part of the Am. conti- 
 nent from a table-land elevated 8,(J(R) 
 or 12,000 ft. above the sea ("Recon- 
 struction of the Antillean Continent," 
 Bull. (Jeo). Soc. of Am., 1894), and 
 extending across and beyond the 
 present region of the West Indian 
 waters to the recent depression of 
 Now Eng., so that only a few small 
 islands were above tlie oceanic wat- 
 ers, followed by the return of the 
 land to the present elevation. Dr. S. 
 
 68 
 
 has shown that these changes of level 
 have perhaps occiirro«l within the 
 htimati period. These ct)mplicated 
 
 r)roblems form "pages in tiio new 
 listory of the (ontinont, inaugurate<l 
 in a great tneasure by the author, 
 and they involve some of the most 
 important points in t'»» final theory 
 of tlie Am. continei' (Prof. J. P. 
 Lesley). They also dt. op or modify 
 our views of the non-permanency of 
 land and s(^a, of ocean currents and 
 climatic chanees, and of the causes 
 of the diHtribntion of animal and 
 vegetable life. Dr. S.'s reports upon 
 the geol. of Georgia, although of a 
 general character, are largely of an 
 economic nature, but they show the 
 .same analytic^al and syntlietical 
 mothodsas his other scientitic works.

 van in the Diooose of Algoma," says 
 the Rev. Dr. Moekridge in his "Lives 
 of the Can. Bi.shops," "is one of 
 singular devotion to duty, with an 
 entire disregard of personal (.'onifort 
 and ea.se. In a niisaion. diocese, he 
 was truly a mission, bishop. His 
 first year's record was 11,000 miles 
 of travel by land and water in pro- 
 moting the interests of his charge. 
 When ho ac(;epted office the diocese 
 had 1(3 missionaries, which number 
 had increased in 1895 to 30. But a 
 little more than a year after becom- 
 ing Bp. of Algoma, Dr. S. wa.« 
 elected by a very large majority to 
 the vacant chair of his old Diocese 
 of Huron. His reply ('My duty to 
 Algoma compels me to decline') was 
 characteristic of that zeal an(i devo- 
 tion which in recent years broke 
 down the vigorous health which had 
 enabled him to achieve marvellous 
 results in his Held of labour. Before 
 failing health compelled him to take 
 needed rest, in 1893, '2(5 new chs. 
 built, 10 others rebuilt, and a roll 
 of 08 chs., all free of debt, was the 
 splendid monument which he had 
 erected." Hi:* Lordship went to 
 Europe, 1894, being apptd. by the 
 Col. and Cont. Ch, Soc. chaplain of 
 Chri.st Ch., Mentono, France, for 
 the winter season. Resuming his 
 labours in Can., he finally resigned 
 his See on his appt. as Rector of St. 
 James's Ch., Toronto, in succession 
 to Bp. Dumoulin, Nov., 1890. 
 While in Chicago "^he degree of 
 S.T.I). (Doctor of Sacrc 1 Theol. ) was 
 conferred upon him. His Lordship 
 is alsoaD.C.L. of Lennoxville and

 SULTE, Benjamin, poet and his-

 only surviving s. of the late Benj. 
 Suite, navigator, by his wife, Mario 
 Antoinette Lefebvre, and was [>. at 
 Threp Rivers, P.Q., Sept. 17, 1841. 
 His earliest ancestor in Can. was 
 Jean Suite, a soldier in Montcalm's 
 army, who settled in Three Rivers 
 immediately after the capitulation 
 of Montreal. Owing to the <leath 
 of his father, who perished at .sea, 
 1847, young S. was taken from sch. 
 at an early age, and found employ- 
 ment as elk. in a country store. 
 Thereafter, he wa^ successively pur- 
 ser on a steamer, book-keeper, '• 1 
 a dealer in clothing. He graduated

 at .'he Mil. Sch., Quebec, and was 
 on aotivB service with the volunteers 
 upon ."< oocasionH flaring the inonien- 
 toua {iCiiod (18(}5-6()). His connec- 
 tion with the press dates from 1860, 
 in which y^nr he commenced to 
 write for the newspapers hotli in 
 poetry and prose. In July, 1866, he 
 necanie ed. of Le Canada (Ottawa), 
 retaining the position until appt(l. 
 an asst. translator in the Ho. of

 1870, he was transferred to the 
 Dept. of Militia and Defence as a 
 Ist idass elk., and he was for .some 
 time Private Secy, to the late Sir 
 Geo. Cartier, while that statesman 
 WJV8 a mem. of the Govt, at Ottawa. 
 It is, however, as a literary man 
 that Mr. S. is best known to the 
 people of his native country. As a 
 poet he early attracted the atl ention 
 of the late Hon. Dr. Chauveau, wh(» 
 took pleasui'c in reproducing some 
 of his verse in the Journal de r JnM. 
 Pub. Later, Mr. .S. assisted in 
 founding La Revue. Can. (Montreal), 
 to which he is a contributor to this 
 day. Quite recently he was enter- 
 tained at a luinquct given by the 
 proprietors in celebration of the 
 publication in the /?erMe of his hun- 
 dredth article. His ccmtributions to 
 the periodical press and to the trans- 
 actions of various literary bodies, 
 both French and Eng. , on literary, 
 scientific and historical subjects, 
 have been numerous, and would, if 
 collected, form a small liljraiy. Of 
 separate works from his pen there 
 have been in verse: " Les Lauren - 
 tiennes " (1870), and "Les Chants 
 Nouveaux " (1880); and in prose: 
 "HistoiredesTrois-Rivicrcs" (1870); 
 " Melanges d'Histoiro et <le Littc^ra- 
 ture" (1876); " Le Coin du Feu" 
 (1877); " Chronique Trifiuvienne " 
 (1879); "La Pocsie Frangaise an 
 Can," (1881) ; " AU)um de I'llistoire 
 des Trois-Kivierea" (do.) ; " Histoire 
 des Canadiens-Fran^^ais," 8 vols. 
 (1882-84) : "Histoire de St Fran- 
 V-oi.s du-L:ic " (1886) ; " Pages d'His- 
 toiro du Can." (1891); " Causons 
 du Pays et de la Colonisation " (do.). 
 In Aug., 1897, he read a paper on 
 
 the "Origin of the French-Cana- 
 dians," before the Brit. Assn., To- 
 ronto. Mr. S. has likewise appeared 
 (m the public platform as a lecturer 
 on literary and historical subjects. 
 He has held office as I'resdt. of tlie 
 Cercle Littcraire, Three Rivers ; as 
 See}', and afterwards as Presdt. of 
 the St. Jean Bapt. Soc, Ottawa; as 
 Presdt. of the St. ThonuisBen. Soc, 
 do., and as Presdt. of the 1st See. 
 of the Royal Soc. of Can. (of whiih 
 botly he was apptd. a Fellow, on its 
 formation, by the Marquis of Lome, 
 1882). He is also an hon. mem. of

 one of those who early aflvocalcd 
 the formation of tlie Royal Soc. of

 by the educational authorities nf a 
 suitable text-book of Can. liistoiy

 the late Joseph Tarte, farmer, and 
 a dir. of the Berthier Agricul. Sfx-. 
 B. at Lanoraie, P.Q., Jan. 11, 1848, 
 he was ed. at L'A.ssomption Coll., 
 and was admitted to the nota- 
 rial profession, May 3, 1871. After 
 practising at L'As.somption for a 
 short periofl, he drifted into journal- 
 ism, becoming ed. of 7>«.v Laiireritiden 
 (St. Lin). Called to Quelieo to 
 occupy a similar position on Le 
 Canadien and L^Erenement, he con- 
 tinued therein for a lengthened 
 period. In Dec, 1875, he offered 
 himself as a candidate in a contest 
 for the representation of Quebec 
 Centre in the Ho. of Commons, l)ut 
 withdrew before tb day of polling. 
 In his address to the electors he de 
 clared himself "the luicompromis- 
 ing enemy of jobbery and corrup- 
 tion," explaining that his sole desire 
 "as a journalist and a citizen was 
 for good govt." He was at this 
 time, and for years subsecjuently, 
 one of the chief organizers of tlie 
 Ccm. party in the Dist. of Quebec. 
 He was returned, in that interest, 
 for Bonaventure, to the Quebec As- 
 sembly, Feb. 23, 1877. In 1878 he 
 was presented with a testimonial by 
 Sir N. F. Belloau, Hon A. R. 
 Angers and others, "in ackmiwledg- 
 nient of his constant and untiring 
 efforts to secure the triumph of the 
 Con. party, more particularly in the 
 Dist. of Quebec." Re-elected at the 
 g. e. 1878, he continued to sit in the 
 Assembly up to the dose of the 
 Legislature, 1881. Returned to the 
 Ho. of Commons for Montmorency, 
 g. e. 1891, as an Ind. Con., "he," says 
 the Glohe, "declared war against the 
 corrupt influences which he knew to 
 bo ruling the Quebec end of Sir. John 
 Macdonald's Govt." Continuing the 
 narrative of his career at this time, 
 the (rfohe saya : "He had sought to 
 get Sir John to clean out hisCaninet, 
 b'lt had failed, no doubt ixicause the 
 old I'remier believed it would break 
 up and destroy his Admn. Mr. T.

 him to httve done in a way to injure I 
 the Govt, as little aa nosHible. It was I 
 in the early part of (he session of j 
 1891 that he launched his first bolt, j 
 He aet himself at the earliest mo- j 
 ment to the minsion to which the j 
 oloctora of .Montmorency had a[)ptd. l 
 him. The proceedings which fol- | 
 lowed his motion foi" an enquiry | 
 are remembered by ever^djody— the ; 
 crowded sittings of the committee, i 
 where opp^vsing partisans and hired | 
 lawyers battled throughout 4 torrid i 
 summer mths. ; the daily discoveries i 
 of fraud ; the life and death light of \ 
 the discredited (iovt. ; the storm of 
 shame and indignation which swept 
 over the country. The central tig'ire 
 of that exciting summer was the 
 man whom ever since the Con. press 
 of Ont. has pursued with untiring 
 vindictiveness. In the face of a 
 storm of abuse, and in spite of the 
 alienation of life-long friendships, he 
 stood to his guns, lie fouglit out his 
 fight to a linish, and every Can. 
 who was not blinded by partisansliip 
 honoured his courage and determina- 
 tion. He proved his charges, but for 
 that very reason liia old leaders 
 would not forgive him. He com- 
 pelled them to send away the men 
 he laid his charges against, but 
 when it was all over he lounil that 
 ho could no longer work with his old 
 
 £arty. He became i, follower of Mr. 
 laurier." Unseated on petition for 
 Montmorency in the early part of 
 1892, he Mas returned for LMslet, at 
 a by-election, Jan. 5, 1893, and re- 
 mained the representative of that 
 CO. till the end of the Parlt., 1896. 
 Mr.T. is regarded as one of the ablest 
 political organizers Quebec has ever 
 had, and to his exertions in large 
 measure were due the triumph of the 
 Lib. party at the g. e. 189(>, though 
 he himself was defeated in Beauhar- 
 nois where he was a candidate. On 
 the formation of Sir W. Laurier's 
 Cabinet, in the month of July, he 
 was apptd. to the office of Mr. of 
 Public Works — an office he still re- 
 tains. Mr. T. was one of the pro- 
 moters of the Temiscouata Ry., 
 1885 J became a mem. of the perman- 
 
 ent comte. for the Provl. Agricul. 
 and In<lustrial Expns., 1887; a dir. 
 of the Quebec Bridge Co. (resigned,

 other political hrorhnreK he is the 
 author of " Procos Mercier. Lo 
 causes (jui Tout provoijue. Quelques 
 faits pour I'histoire" (1892). For 
 some time up to Sept., 189H, he was 
 ed. of Le Gii/tiraffvr (Montreal), 
 which he founded. Since then he 
 has written for La I'atrie, of wliich 
 paper, as well as of Le Cnllivaleur,

 Mane, dan. of the Ho7i. Jean 
 Antoine Panet, first Speaker of the 
 first Aasemldy elected in the Pro- 
 vince of Quebec. B. at Ste. Marie 
 de la Beauoe, P.Q., Feb. 17, 1820, 
 he was ed. at the Quebec c>emy., 
 after which he spent It) mths. (1830- 
 37) travelling in the United Kingdom, 
 and in Belgium, France and Italy. 
 On his return to Quebec, 1837, he 
 entered tiie (hand Semy. , and, 
 having followed the prescribed 
 course in theol., wa.s ordained 
 priest in his native parish, Sept. 
 10, 184:2. He remained in the 
 Semy., first as a prof, and after- 
 wards as dir., 29 yrs. , and while 
 there compiled several educational 
 works for the use of the students, 
 none of which, however, ht'ive been 
 printed. While still discharging his 
 duties at the Semy., he volunteered 
 for service to attend the sick and 
 d}ing Irish immigrants at (Uosse 
 Isle, during the prevalence of the 
 ship-fever, 1847, and was himself 
 prostrated by the disease. In 1864 
 the future Cardinal went to Rome, 
 where, after 2 yrs., he took his 
 degree of D.l). In 1860 he was 
 elected Superior of the Semy. , and 
 l)eeame ex-officio Rector of Laval 
 Univ., an institution in whose in- 
 terest he afterwards journeyed to 
 Home on 2 occasion.s, namely, in 
 1862 and in 18t)4. In 18(59 he at 
 tended Archlm. Baillargeon during 
 the sittings of the Vatican (^ouncil, 
 as his secy, and theologian. He had 
 previously, in 1862, been apptd. a 
 V.-CJ. of the Archdiocese. The 
 duties of his several offices he con- 
 tiiuied to discharge up to the death 
 of his venerated piedecessor in the 
 Episcopate, Oct., 1870, when he was 
 chosen as his successor. T)r. T. was 
 duly consecrated in the Basilica of 
 Quebec by the late Most Rev. J. J. 
 Lynch, Archbp. of Toron^ o, Mch. 19, 
 1871, and forthwith entered upon 
 his duties. As 16th Archbp. of 
 Quebec, one of his fiist efforts was 
 directed towards freeing the (Joll. 
 
 at Ste. Anne de la Pocati^re from 
 its tinancial diffi(rulties. After 7 
 years" !al)Our, with the assistance of 
 hi.s clergy, whose zeal an<l generosity 
 in tiiis as in other matters he has 
 always lieen glad to acknowledge, he 
 succeeded. .V)on after his elevation, 
 His(}race went to Montreal as Apos- 
 tolic Del. to enquire into and report 
 upon some unforeseen dilliculties 
 arising out of the erection of certain 
 parishes in that city, and, at the 
 end of 1S72, he proceeded to Rome 
 with a \'iew of^ procuring a final 
 settlement tlierecif. \n tlie same 
 year he founded in (Quebec the Hotel- 
 Dieu du Sacrc-Cour, a hospital which 
 has since become of great local l)ene- 
 tit. He also adopted measures for 
 the reconstruction of the ch. at Ste. 
 Anne de Beaupre, a nhrine which for 
 'JnO yrs. has been the Mecca of 
 devout pilgrims seeking lestoration 
 of health. In the following year he 
 began the construction of a semy. at 
 ('hicoutimi; in 1874 he took part 
 in the 2(X)th anniversary of the 
 foundation of the Episcopal See of 
 Quebec; in 1873, and, in 1878, 
 he presided at 2 Provl. Councils; 
 in 1879 he enlarged the (nnric- 
 ulum of the Coll. of Levis, by giving 
 it a classical course. In 1882, and, 
 in 1884, he M^as again at Rome. On 
 June 7, 1886, he was created a 
 Cardinal Priest of the Holy Roman 
 Church, with the title of Sainte 
 Marie <le la Victoire. His Eminence 
 being the first native of Can. to l»e 
 elevated to the Sacred (yoll., and 
 being a prelate personally popular 
 and beloved by all classes, h's appt. 
 was received with great rejoicing 
 throughout the country. He was 
 presented with an address of con- 
 gratulation from the Legislative 
 Assembly of Quebei- and the Mayor 
 and City Council of Ciuebec, and

 THOMAS, Francis Wolferatan, bank 
 manager, is the s. of the late Rev. 
 F. W. Thomas, R.J)., and Rector of 
 Parkham, North Devon, Eng. , by 
 his wife, Frances Shearme, of Wood- 
 lands, Cornwall, Eng. B. at Moor- 
 winstow, Cornwall, Jan. 9, 1834, 
 he was ed. at King Edward VI. 
 Sch., Sherborne, Dorsetshire, and 
 was intended first for the ch. and 
 afterwards for the army. Before 
 a commission was procured for him, 
 however, he embarked for Can., 
 arriving here, 1851. His banking 
 career was commenced in the ser- 
 vice of the Bank of Upper Can., 
 now defunct. After a year in its ser- 
 vice he joined the Bank of Montreal, 
 ai\d, in 1866, was promoted mangr. 
 of the London branch. While ful- 
 filling the duties of that position, 
 he v/ixs called, in 1870, on the re- 
 commendation of the " Prince of 
 Can. Financiers," the late E. H. 
 King, to the office which has given 
 him so wide a reputation in bank- 
 ing annals, the general managership 
 of the Molsons Bank, Montreal, 
 Under his management this institu- 
 tion has grown to its present 
 importance, with a paid-up capital 
 of $2,000,000, a rest fund of 
 
 $1,400,000, and with branches and 
 agencies in all portions of the Doin., 
 as well as in Europe and the U. S. 
 Outside of his profe88i(m, Mr. T.'s 
 name is well known throughout tlie 
 country as that of a public-spirited 
 citizen, who has never been found 
 wanting when his time, money, 
 services or talents were needed for 
 works of improvement or the gen- 
 eral good. Probably no other man 
 in his walk of life has led so active 
 and useful a life in this respect. 
 The number and variety of the pub- 
 lic positions he has been called upon 
 to nil from time to time, is proof uf 
 this. In Montreal ho has been for 
 yrs. a prominent mem. of the Good 
 Govt. Assn., a dir. of the Art 
 Assn., a mem. of the Council of 
 the Bd. of Arts and Manufactures, 
 a mem. of the Comte. of Manage- 
 ment of the Montreal Genl. Hos-

 lance Assn., a dir. of the Mount 
 Royal Cemetery Co., Treas. of the

 Hospital for the Insane, V.-P. of

 Cruelty to Animals, Treas. for the 
 Andrew's Home, Treas. for the 
 Murray Bay Convalescent Home 
 and Preadt. of the Mackay Inst, foi

 1848. Ed. there, he was called to 
 the bar, 1871, and practised for 
 some time in his native place. Pro- 
 ceeding to San Francisco, he drifted

 he began to write for the stage, pro- 
 ducing at least 2 successful plays : 
 " Mli.ss," for Miss Annie Pixley, 
 and " Sharps and Flats " for Messrs. 
 Robson and Crane. This led him 
 to N. Y., where he eventually re- 
 turned to journalism, securing a 
 position on the N. Y. Tribune,. 
 Subsequently, he went to the west- 
 ern States as the representative of 
 the N. Y. Associated Press, with 
 which he remained until 1881. In

 most valuable (lontribution to liter- 
 ature is the collection of periodical

 him ' ' as the most capable draughts- 
 man in Am.," to illustrate the birds 
 and mammals for their great ency- 
 clopedic dictionary issued in 10

 trations by his own "hand, to the 
 Century, to Harper's May., and to

 naturalist to the Province of Man. 
 His work, "The Birds of Manitoba" 
 (Smithsonian Inst., 1891): and his 
 "Zool. of Manitoba,' published 
 subsequently by the same body, 
 have given him a high reputation 
 among savants. As an artist and 
 painter his specialty is animals and 
 wild life. He is an associate of the 
 Royal Can. Acad., and has exhibited 
 at the Salon Fran(;ai.<. He is also a 
 mem. of the Am. Ornithol. Union.

 the Globe, he was described as the 
 " best literary critic Can. had pro- 
 duced. " In his new field of labour, 
 John Reade places him among the 
 masters of the art of atory-telling. 
 " Indeed," says the ed. of Old and 
 New, "some of his short stories may 
 be said to be unsurpassed in narra- 
 tive skill, character drawing, humour 
 and pathos." As a delineator of 
 French -Can. character he has created 
 a field which is almost entirely his 
 own. xMr. T. m. Mch., 1873, Ade-

 reputation a^^ a writer. Politically, 
 Mr. T. was bred a Tory and Free 
 Trader. Aft*-r the "Pacific Scandal" 
 he followed Mackenzie, but is now 
 out of politics. He has always fav- 
 oured Can. ind. of Ot. Brit., prefer- 
 ring that the country should become 
 an auxiliary or equal kingdom, by 
 the monarch taking the title of Queen 
 or King of Can., and being advised 
 solely by native ministers in all Can. 
 affairs. Such a relationship to the 
 Crown, he thinks, would make Can. 
 as ind. as Eng. or Qi. Brit., and 
 would be perfectly consistent, as 
 history shows, with either Can. or 
 Ot. Brit, remaining uninvolved in 
 wars in which the other might be 
 engaged. By this plan Canadians 
 coulil retain the invalua]>le bfx)n of 
 responsible govt., the monarchical 
 system aiul all the traditions of

 league, but not in a v/ar league, with

 TBANT, William, journalist and 
 publicirtt, is tlie s. of Wni. Trant, of 
 Leeds, Eng., by his wife, Isabella, 
 dau. of Joseph Hirst, of l)ewsV)ury. 
 B. in Jjoeds, Mch. 13, 1844, he was 
 ed. cliieliy at tlie Leeds Mech. Inst, 
 (whore he occupied the 2nd position 
 in the sch.), and at the Leeds Free 
 Grammar Sch. At this early period 
 he attracted attention by a collection 
 he made and exhibited of the postage 
 stamps of all nations, and ho is be- 
 lieved to be the Hist philatelist. 
 Taken from sch. at 14 yrs. of age, he 
 continued his education at the even- 
 ing classes of the Y.M.C.A., and at 
 1(5 competed in the Soc. of Arts 
 Kxams., where he took the higliest 
 position in the kingdom in Astron. 
 and the highest for his age in (fcom. 
 At this tune he founded the Leeds 
 Astron. Soc, which established an 
 observatory under the guidance of 
 Sir John Herschel and Prof. Airy 
 (Astronomer Royal), and which is 
 still in existence. His fir.st employ- 
 nient was as a elk. by the Leeds Con. 
 Assn. He was then 14, and at IG he 
 entered the office and warehouse of 
 a ry. stores contractor and foreign 
 shipper, with whom he became 
 mangr. and cashier. His first con- 
 nection with tht) press dates from 
 
 leiG'5, when h' ^came asst. reader 
 on the Yorksh. c /^o.st, but an article 
 ho wrote on "The Eclipse of the 
 Sun " (his first contribution to the 
 press), attracted much attention, and 
 he became a reporter. In 18(59 he 
 went to London, and became a re- 
 porter on the metropolitan press, 
 also obtaining the prize for an essay 
 on "A Cheernd Disposition," offered 
 by the Assn. for the Education of 
 Adults (founded by the Prince Con- 
 sort). Mr. T. now began to take 
 part in politics, and became an active 
 mem. of the Education League, 
 founded by Joflo[)h Chamberlain, the 
 present Colonial Secy. On the down- 
 fall of Napoleon, 1871, dv.ring tlio 
 Franco-German war, ho was co del. 
 with Geo. Odger, l)earing the con- 
 gratulatory address from the Brit, 
 proletariat to the new French Ro- 
 pul)lic. They escaped from Paris 
 after it was iiivestecl by the German 
 troops, and while bearing the mani- 
 fests from the French Govt, to the 
 people of Eng. were arrested as 
 German spies, but on discovery of 
 their mission were released, and 
 arrived safely in Ix>ndon. Mr. T,, 
 however, immediately returned to 
 the seat of war as a special c;orro- 
 spondent, and was in Paris during 
 the whole of the Commime. On the 
 suppression thereof, his letters hav- 
 ing been intercepted, hewasarrested, 
 imprisoned, sentenced to death, and 
 luid a narrow escape. Ou again re- 
 turning to Eng. lie became lecturer 
 and Parliamentary organizer for the 
 Financial Reform Assn., and pub- 
 lished a successful book on "Finan- 
 cial R'jform." He also won the £50 
 prize essay on "Travle Unions," which 
 has gone through 2 editions and has 
 also oecn published in the U. S. and 
 Australia. In 1874 he was asked to 
 enter the Brit. Ho. of Commons, but 
 having accepted an appt. in India, 
 was unable to offer iiimself as a 
 candidate, and became special cor- 
 respondent for the Timen of India 
 (Bombay). He was present through-

 Punishment of Criminals," was thus 
 spoken of by Chief-Justice Coleridge : 
 " You have said, and said well, what 
 all my life I have been trying unsuc- 
 
 cessfully to say." For a symlicato

 Dec, 1835, and came to Can., 1842, 
 where he was ed. Entering mercan-

 became a tobacco manufacturer there 
 in partneraliip with John Billings. 
 With the extension of his business, 
 he formed a co. with his sons under 
 the name of Geo. E. Tuckett k Son 
 Co., at the head of which he still 
 is. Their business is one of the most 
 extensive in the Dom., and Mr. T. 
 has earned the reputation of being 
 an ideal employer of labour. "He 
 encourages thrift, industry and 
 steadiness among his employes," 
 says the Can. American, *' by deal- 
 ing out substantial rewards at stated 
 periods. The profits of his business 
 are in part shared by the wage- 
 earners of his great factory. Old 
 hands, after a given time, receive 
 handsome checks to enable them to 
 build homes. Every year there is a 
 meeting Ijetween employer and 
 employes that is marked by gifts 
 which make glad the heart of the 
 wage-earner." In other ways Mr. 
 T. shows his interest in the materia] 
 welfare of those who are on his pay- 
 roll, "and hence it has come to 
 pass," continues the paper referred 
 to, " that when a Can, wishes to

 Mass. (now called Lynn), and, 2 yrs. 
 later, removed with othern tf) Sand- 
 wich, in the same State, of which 
 town they were the incorporators 
 (see " Burke's Peerage"). B. at 
 Amherst, N.S., July 2, 1821, he 
 was ed. at Horton Acad., and grad- 
 uated M.D. at Kdinhurgh Univ., 
 1843. In the same year he was 
 admitted a mem. of the Royal Coll. 
 of Surg., Kdinhurgh. Dr. T. com- 
 menced the practice of his profes- 
 sion in his native co. , and speedily 
 secured an extensive business. He 
 entered public life at the g. e. 1855, 
 being then returned to tha local 
 Assembly as mem. for Cumberland. 
 The xmsuccessful candidate was no 
 leas a person than the late Hon. 
 Joseph Howe, then leader of the 
 Lib. party in N. S., and afterwards 
 Lt. -(tov. of the Province. On enter- 
 ing Parlt. the new mem., conscious, 
 it is said, of the weak points in the 
 old Con. programme, drew up and 
 was allowed by his seniors, to ailopt 
 a new, a more progressive and a 
 more lib. policy. It is also recorded 
 of him that, "like Uisraeli, he edu- 
 cated his party ; he brought them 
 round to take a more comprehensive 
 view of affairs, he attracted to him- 
 self the more moderate men of the 
 opposite side, and with so much 
 eflfect that, in the following year, 
 the reconstructed party came into 
 power, and ' the young doctor,' as he 
 was called, became Provl. Secy." 
 From that time t'.ll the Confedera- 
 tion of the Provinces, 1867, he was, 
 perhaps, the most prominent figure 
 in local politics, having succeeded to 
 the premiership in 1864. In the 
 accomplishment of Confederation, 
 and the establishment of the Dora, 
 of Can. he bore a conspicuous part, 
 attending the Charlottetown and 
 Quebec Confs. and afterwards going 
 to Kng., when the question was 
 settled at the Westminster Palace 
 Hotel Conf. For his services in this 
 regard he was created a C. B. , and, 
 on the formation of the first Govt, 
 in and for the Doni. of Can., was 
 invited to take office therein, but 
 declined in favour of Sir Edward 
 
 Kenny, to meet obstacles arising in 
 other Provinces of the Dom. He 
 was sworn of the Privy Council, 
 Juno, 1870, taking the otiico of 
 Pre8<it. of the Council. Transferrf^d 
 to the Dept. of Inl. Revenue, ihily, 
 1872, he succeeded Sir Leonard 
 Tilley, as Mr. of Customs, in the 
 early portion of 1873, and h(! was 
 still holrljng that office when the 
 Macdonald Admn. resigned in the 
 autumn of that year. During the 
 5 yrs. that the Con. party was 
 in Opposition, Dr. T. was Sir John 
 Macdonald's principal organizer and 
 adviser, and to no one was the 
 Con. party more indebted than to 
 him for their return to power in 
 1878. While in Opposition he elab- 
 orated and brought before Parlt. 
 the scheme of moderate protection 
 for home industries, known as the 
 "National Policy," which was subse- 
 quently adopted and put into force 
 by the new Admn. In that (Jovt. 
 Dr. T. became Mr. of Public Works. 
 Afterwards he created the Dept. of 
 Rys. and Canals, and was its first 
 minister. As such, he carried out 
 the policy of the Govt, in reference 
 to the enlargement of the Welland 
 (Janal, the deepening of the St. 
 Lawrence channel, the improvement 
 of the Intercl. Ry., and the con- 
 struction, by a private co., of the 
 Can. Pac. Ry. He retired from 
 the Ministry, May, 1884, and he 
 was, from that period, up to 1887, 
 and again afterwards, the repre- 
 sentative of the Dom. in London, 
 holding the office of High Conmr. 
 for Can. In the early part of the 
 last-named year, as the general elec- 
 tions approached, he was invited by 
 Sir John Macdonald to return to 
 Can. He again entered the Govt, 
 and was Mr. of Finance therein up 
 to May, 1888, when he resigned that 
 office and resumed duty in London 
 as High Comnr. In Jan., 1896, he 
 entered the Bowell Admn. as Secy.

 For political reasons (me of the

 to visit the U. !S. Adopting the 
 nie'^. profession, he Htiidied at the

 means, was obliged to defer taking 
 his degiee, M'iiicii he afterwards at- 
 tained by passing his exams, before

 years' course at the Allopathic Univ. 
 Med. Coll. , Kansas City, Mo. , taking 
 his degree as M. D. from that coll. 
 Practising for a number of yrs., he 
 was respected and esteemed alike as 
 a citizen and ])ra<!titioner of med. , 
 holding high positions amongst his 
 med. confreres in the U. S., and ob- 
 taining a lai'ge and lucrative prac- 
 tice. His heart, however, was in 
 another spliere of work, and he 
 abandoned med. for the Ch. He 
 was a candidate for orders in tlie 
 diocese of Bp. Henry J. Whitehouse, 
 D. U,, of the Protestant Ep. Ch. in 
 ni., under whoso direction he pur- 
 sued theol. studies, holding the 
 Bishop's license as a lay reader for a 
 considerable time, in which capacity 
 he did some very effective mission 
 work. As a man of strong evangel, 
 views he could not see liis way to 
 proceed with his ordination in the 
 Prot. Epis. 'Jh., much to Bp. White- 
 house's regret, that prelate offering 
 him many inducements to remain;

 dained tlie 1st deacon of the Re- 
 formed Epis. Ch. by Bishop C. E. 
 Cheney, of Chicago, and, by the same 
 bp., Presbyter in Emanuel Ch., Ot-

 of Christ Ch., Toronto, and, in 1878, 
 Rector of St. Bartholomew's Ch., 
 Montreal, where lie remained for 11 
 yrs. During his incumbency of St. 
 Bartholomew, he was elected bp. by 
 the Can. Synod of the Reformed 
 Epis. Ch., having 2 yrs. previously 
 been elected to the same office by 
 the Oenl. Synod in Eng., and de- 
 clined to be consecrated at that 
 time. Finally, after being 8 yrs. 
 in charge of the Diocese of Can. 
 ami Nfd. , the Ch. in the U. S. M'as 
 very desij^ous that he should plant

 and the ultimate acceptance of the 
 Hchenie by the Legislature was 
 largely due, as has been acknow-

 popularity. Among the vaiious

 VAN HORNE. 
 
 VAN HORNE, Sir William Cornelius, 
 
 Prortident Caiiadiati I'nciHo Uy., is 
 tlio H. of the lalo Cornelius Caveii- 
 hoven Van Home, a lawyer, who 
 was the deK(!en(lant of one of the old 
 ])iitron families of New Ainsterdam, 
 now the city of New York. B. rieai 
 Joliette, 111'., Feh. 3, 1843, he was 
 in his 14th year forced, t>y the death 
 of his father, to find employment in 
 onler to provide for the wants of 
 the other memiwrs of the family. 
 He began at the foot of tlie ladder 
 as office hoy at the ry. station in his 
 native town. Later, lie bei;ame a 
 telegraph operator on the 111. (Jen- 
 tral Ry., and, in 1858, johied the 
 Michigan Central Ry. Co. Here he 
 served in various capacities till he 
 reached the age of 21, when ho ac- 
 cepted an appt. as ticket agent and 
 teJegrapIi operator on the (Chicago 
 and Alton Ky. He was afterwanls 
 for 3 yra. train deR})atcher, 1 year 
 Snpdt. of the Telegraj)h, atul 3 yrs. 
 Div. iSupdt. on this road. Rising in 
 tlie service as his merits l)ecanie 
 more widely known, he was, in 1872, 
 offered the position of Gen I. vSnpdt. 
 of the 8t. Louis, Kansas City and 
 Northern Ry. From there he went 
 in 1874 to the Southern Minnesota 
 Ry., as its Uenl. Mangr. The line 
 was then in the liands of a recoivei', 
 but he quit^kly extricated it fiom 
 its financial ditticulties, and h\ ex- 
 tending and improving the property 
 placed it in its present prosperous 
 (!ondition. His success was rewarded 
 by his elevation to the presidency of 
 the CO. In 1878 lie returned to the 
 Chicago and Alton Ry., and ac- 
 cepted the position of Genl. Snpdt. 
 of the line, at the same time retain- 
 ing the presidency of the Southern 
 Minn. Two yrs. later lie was called 
 to the position of Genl. Supdt. of 
 the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. 
 Paul Ry., at that time the most ex- 
 tensive vy. ill the (J. S. , with more 
 than 5tK)6 miles of track in Iowa, 
 Wis., the Dakotas, Minn, and Mis- 
 souri, and 31(5 miles in 111., from 
 Chicago west to the Mississippi, and 
 north into Wis. He entered upon 
 this office, Jan, 1, 1880, only to re- 
 
 liiKjuish it in the following vear, 
 when he was selected by the ffircc- 
 tors of the ('an. Pac. Ry. to lake 
 control as (jleiil. Mangr, of what was 
 then projected, and has since; be- 
 come, tlie greatest ry. organization 
 in the world. The last rail was laid 
 in the transcontinental line of ry. 
 54 niths. after the work of construc- 
 tion was commenced by the co. , and 
 in much less than half the time re- 
 (|uired by the contract between tlit; 
 (ilovt. and the eo. The system built 
 up by the co. during the 18 yrs. of 
 its existence embraces 9()00 niilcs of 
 ry. , extending almost ever\ where in 
 the Donr. and tlirough the States of 
 Maine, Mich., Wis., Minn, and 
 Dakota, and its steamship lines 
 reach to China and Japan. The 
 soul of this wonderful organization, 
 the man whose spirit animates it.s 
 activities, and imparts a character 
 of absolute business perfection to 
 all its ramifications, who even in liis 
 dreams may l>c said to work out its 
 future still more wonderful destiny, 
 ia Sir VV. C. Van Home, who, from 
 a poor boy, Jias risen to the pioud 
 eminence he occupies "oy the sheer 
 force of genius. Upon the retire- 
 ment of Duncan Mclntyre from the 
 vice-presidency of the co., 1884, Mr. 
 Van H. was elected to that oflico ; 
 and on the retii'ement of I-ord Mount 
 Stephen, Sept., 1888, he became 
 Presdt. , which office he still retains. 
 In reviewing the history of the (-an. 
 Pac. Ry., the Montreal (JtazeMa gives 
 every credit for the inception of the 
 enterprise and the courage and pa- 
 triotism which instigated its under- 
 taking, to Lord Mount Stephen and 
 Lord Strathcona, " ' ut," it ad<ls, 
 "the merit of the practical work 
 belongs, in great part, to Sir W. C. 
 Van Home. The ripe experience 
 he brought to bear as Genl. Mangr. 
 of the ry., his quick perception of 
 the po.ssibilities of the enterprise, 
 the confidence he was able to inspire 
 in those with whom he was associ- 
 ated, his splendid organizing abili 
 ties, his mastery of details, an<l his 
 keen and accurate appreciation of 
 the importance of speetl in construe-

 tion, perhaps somowhat on tlie | 
 principle that nothing ,succc<!tls like 
 HUCC088, contrihute<l in un important 
 degree to the triuniphn wiiich the 
 Can. I'ac. Co. has achieved. No one 
 more than he realized the necesaity 
 of Hubsidiary linos and adjunc^ts in 
 the shape of steaninhip .sj'rvices if 
 the ry. when conHtrueted wa.s to 
 prove a proHtalde linancial under- 
 taking, and to his ])re8cience may 
 ho attributed tho ao<|uisition and 
 con.struction of the Ijranch linea, 
 fooders and auxiliary railway.^ 
 throughout the Doni., a.s well a.s in 
 llio North-Western States which 
 furnish so material a traffic to the 
 mam lino, and therel^y ensure a per - 
 mauonce of prosperity as well as of 
 that independence so essential in the 
 conception and execution of the 
 policy of the road. If, in its he- 
 giuning, the Can. Pac. Ry. was re- 
 garded merely as an effort to throw 
 a hand of steel across the continent, 
 and 80 fulfil the compact upon which 
 B. C liad entered the Confederation, 
 under !Sir Wm. Van Home's admn., 
 the scht rae quickly assumed a much 
 more pretentious and important 
 scope. In every detail, in point of 
 facihtiea and equipment, in all the 
 adjuncts of traffic, in the solidity 
 and durability of its works, and in 
 the ambitious character of its policy, 
 the Can. Pac. rapidly became one of 
 the loading ry. enterprises not only 
 of the continent, ))vit of the worltl. 
 The establishment of a steamship 
 service on the Pacific, giving direct 
 coimection with China and Japan, 
 and, later on, of a steamship service 
 to Australia, were accomplishments 
 attril)utable largely to the enterprise 
 and foresight of the Presdt., whose 
 bu.sy brain never ceases from seeking 
 out and utilizing every avenue 
 through which traffic can piofitably 
 he attracted to the ry., and tlie 
 trade an<l industry of Can. be pro- 
 moted. So closely has Sir Wm. 
 Van Home been identified with tho 
 remarkable success of the Can. Pac. 
 tluit from noaapect of itsachievement 
 can he be dis.sooiated. The notable 
 financial prosperity of the company 
 
 is attributable in largo part to tho 
 ability of his management, and tlio 
 higli credit which tho entoijjri.se has 
 attained has had no more striking 
 illustration than the fact that tho 
 guarantee of the Can. Pac. has been 
 deemed in the money market of 
 London conclusive evidence of tho 
 soundness of the SKUirities of sub- 
 sidiary and allied lines. That is, 
 perhaps, tlie highest evidence pos- 
 siljle to afford of tho confidence 
 entertained by capitalists in the 
 judgment and ability of Sir Wm. 
 Van Home." Continuing, tho (.id- 
 zelte remarks : " From his earliest, 
 a-ssociation with the co. he has 
 closely conne<tod himself with Can. 
 affairs. No n)ore earnest or moio 
 zealous work for theadvancemerit of 
 the welfare and prosperity of the 
 Uom. has been performed than his, 
 the whole policy of his management 
 having been consistently directed to 
 the settlement of the N.-W., the 
 development of Can. resouices, the 
 extension of Can. trade, the nuiin- 
 tenance of Can. autonomy, tlie uj)- 
 building of Can. institutions and 
 industries, and the cultivation of 
 inteicl. and imperial trade. From 
 the moment ho undertook the re- 
 sponsible and formi(Uible duties of 
 Genl. Mangr. of the ry.. Sir Wm. 
 identified himself closely and loyally 
 with the affairs, the institutions and 
 the national life of the Uom., form- 
 ing all his attacliments with his 
 adopted country, and proving him- 
 self one of the moatenterjii ising and 
 patriotic of her citizens." In addi- 
 tion to other positions filled by him, 
 he is a dir. of the Postal Telegraj)ii 
 CaV)le Co. and of the Connnercial 
 Cable Co., V.-P. of the Duluth, 
 South Shore and Atlantic Hy. Co., 
 anil Presdt. of tho N.-VV. Land Co, 
 and of tho B. C. Southern Ky. Co.

 his labours in connection with the 
 institution wlu)So admn. he directs 
 and controls, he has rendered im- 
 portant services in the cause of Can. 
 banking generally. At the time of 
 the expiry of the bank charters he 
 laboured strenuously and with suc- 
 cess against an assimilation of our 
 .system of banking with that of the 
 U. S. Later, when the banking bill 
 of 1891 was before tlie Can. Parlt., 
 he was chosen by the banks of Ont. 
 as their chief sfiokesman, and in that

 Can. Life Assur. Co. In 1897 ho 
 served aa local Secy, in connection 
 
 with the meeting of the Brit. A.ssn. 
 in Toronto. Besides being a ready 
 and otfectivc pid)lic speaker, he is 
 known also as a writer of much 
 a) >ility. Among Ids publications are : 
 "The Can. System of Banking and 
 the National Banking System of tlio 
 U. S. ; a Comparison with reference 
 to the Banking Reiiuirementa of 
 Can." (1890); "Banking in Can," 
 a paper read before the Congress of 
 Bankers and Financiers, Cliicago, 
 1893 (1893); "A Can. View of the 
 Financial Situation in the U. S. ; 
 Wiiat should be done, and what will 
 probably be done" (1895) ; the sec. 
 on Can. Banking in "A History of 
 Banking in all the Leading Nations" 
 (1896); "Why Can. is against Bi- 
 metallism" (1897); and a series of 
 fiapers on " Early Italian Art." 
 Politically, a Lib. ; in religion, he is 
 a Prcsb. He is of opinion that "we 
 sliouid discuss less such subjects as 
 Imp. i<'ederation, or better trade 
 relations with the U. S. , and give 
 closer attention to the humbler but 
 more important details of our busi- 
 ness affairs at home. The greatest 
 economy should be exercised in tlie 
 public expenditure, consistent with 
 efficiency. We spend too nuich 
 money, both publicly and privately. 
 The better cuxss of men not satis- 
 factorily employed, should be en- 
 couraged to take up free grant 
 lands, and the Dom. Govt, should 
 open throughout (it. Brit, and 
 northern Europe offices where reli- 
 able information could be obtained 
 regarding our lands, agricultural, 
 pastoral and mineral. Nothing has 
 happened in the progress of C'an. 
 which requires us to seek new roads

 painter of tho pasture and the farm, 
 and that he paints them very much 
 in the feeling of a Troyon, on one 
 hand, and a Mauve on the other. 
 One of his pictures, " A Siesta," is a

 His maternal ancestors were of 
 Northumberland stock ; his paternal 
 ancestors were farmers in Lanark- 
 shire. Ed. first at Kilmarnock, he 
 entered (Glasgow Univ., 1860. He 
 look first prizes in the classes of 
 Logic and Rhetoric, Moral I'hil., 
 Kng. Lit. and Junior Divinity, and 
 graduated with the degree of M.A., 
 taking 1st class honours in Mental 
 and Moral Phil, and in Eng. Lit., 
 1872. In the same year he was 
 apptd. to the chair of Logic, Metapli. 
 and Ethics in Queen's Univ., King- 
 sUm. He is still connected with the 
 same institution, but is now Prof, 
 of Moral Phil., the chair having been 
 divided. It is, however, in the 
 literary field that he has most dis- 
 tinguished himself. In addition to 
 papers on philosophical and otlusr 
 ■''I'bjects, contributed to the Jour, 
 of S-pectd. Phil., the Phil. lieineir, 
 the Can. Monthly, and the Qneen'.s 
 (^mrterty, he has published in book- 
 
 form: "Kant and his Eng. Critics : a 
 Comparison of Critical ami Empiri-

 Chri.stian Ideal of Life in its Rela- 
 tion to the (ireek and Jewish Ideals 
 an<l to Mcxlern Phil." (1896). Of 
 tlic tirst-named work the Safnr- 
 day I{e.rii:ii! .said it was decidedly 
 the best exposition of Kant which 
 it had seen in English. His other 
 works liave but adchsd to his re 
 putation as a dee]> and origii\al 
 thinker, the general opinion being 
 that both they and his lectures at 
 the Univ. are models of philosophic 
 discussion and historic interpreta- 
 tion. Prof. Clark, of Trinity Coll., 
 Toronto, says that Prof. VV. is by 
 universal consent the foremost man 
 in phil. on this side of the Atlantic, 
 whilst I'resdt. Schurman, of Cornell 
 Utuv. jdoes not hesitate to jnononnce 
 him one of the best philosophical 
 teachers and writers in the whole 
 Eng. -speaking world. On the forma- 
 tion of the Royal Soc. of Can., by 
 the Marquis of Ijorue, 1881, Prof. 
 W. was chosen one of the original

 he has continued ever since. Short ly 
 after coming of age he joined llic 
 Bd. of Trade. Later, he was one

 ciiange, and he continues an active 
 and conspicuous mem. of both tliosc 
 bodies at the present time. He 
 organized from among his fcllow- 
 mems, , a Free Navigation League, 
 the purpose of which was to free 
 the St. Lawrence route, between the 
 great lakes and the ocean, from all 
 governmental dues and tolls on craft 
 and cargoes alike. The League was 
 the means of procuring, in 186U, with 
 the active aid of Sir A. T. (!alt, 
 then Mr. of Finance, the remission 
 of canal tolls, which were, however, 
 reimposed at a later date. In KSSS 
 he took an active part in the agita- 
 tion which resulted in transferring 
 the burden of the Lake St. Peter 
 ship channel from Montreal harbour 
 to the Dom., thereby making the 
 city a free port for sliips, at the 
 close of which his fellow -merchants

 a hundred yrs., have done so 
 much in furnishing Eng. with the 
 finest horses in the world. He is 
 the s. of the late Jonathan VVeath- 
 erbe, mercliant and ship-owner, by 
 Mary, dau. of John Baker, the de- 
 scendant of a Quaker faniilv. B. 
 at Bcdeipie, P.E.I., Apl. 7,' 1836, 
 he was ed. for a time at the Prince 
 of Wales Coll., after which he 
 entered Acadia Coll., Wolfvillo 
 (B. A., 1858; M. A., 1861; lion. 
 D.C.L., 1883). He stiulied law 
 with the late Hon. .1. W. Johnston 
 (afterwards Judge in Ecpiity, N. S.), 
 and in early life 8upi)orted him.self 
 as ed. of the Acadian Recoriler, the 
 ohlest journal in the Province. He 
 was also a constant contributor to 
 other journals. Am. and Eng. He 
 was called to the bar, N. 8., 1863, 
 and, in 1864, published a pamphlet ;

 the popular will, and beoanu* Secy. 
 of the "Ati^i-C'onfedoration League," 
 of whiul, .iowe was I'resdt. He 
 made Iuh mark at wnre us a writer 
 and speaker, and afterwaids became 
 one of the most sudoessful advocates 
 of a brilliant bai', and won the 
 largest verdicts ever recorded in tht^ 
 Province. According to the testi- 
 mony of the present Chief-Justice 
 McDonald, he was invincible as a 
 cross-examr. , and liis powers of 
 peiHuasion amounted to magnetism 
 with a jury. He was a prominent 
 factor of the Lib. party in the 
 heated contest aiising out of the 
 '• Pacific Scandal,"' which swept Sir 
 John Macdoiuild from jtower, and 
 shortly afterwards he became agent 
 for the Ml-, of Justice at Halifax. 
 He was selected by Hon. E. Blake 
 as one of the counsel to represent 
 H. B.M.'s Govt., on behalf of Can., 
 before the Fisheries Comn. , wliich 
 sat for 6 mths. at Haxifax, in 1S77, 
 and resulted in an awanl of 5^ 
 million dollars for the Dom. The 
 Canadians were c<»nfionted by dis- 
 tinguished American counsel, and 
 the success reflects credit on Mr. 
 W. and his associates, though he 
 himself peisists that the result was 
 due to the majority 'f a tribunal of 
 3 laymen who had their own ideas 
 of what was the proper thing to be 
 done without giving reasons. He 
 predicted during the proceedings 
 that all future internl. tribunals 
 touching Can. would be composed 
 of eminent jurists. He thinks the 
 failure to fuinish a "considered" 
 award has robbed the victory of all 
 value, and is proving an untnixed 
 evil. After an exceptionally suc- 
 cessful career at the bai-, Mr. W. 
 was apptd. a Judge of the Supreme 
 Ct. of N. S., Oct. 7, 1878, being at 
 that period the youngest judge who 
 had hitherto taken a seat on the 
 local bench. He had been madtj a 
 Q. C, by the Provl. Govt., 1876. 
 " As a judge," writes Mr. B. Russell, 
 Q.C., M.P., "Mr. W. brought to 
 the Supreme Ct. the searchlight of 
 the powerful and highly trained 
 intellect which had won him such 
 
 signal triumphs at the bar. He was 
 frequently oblige<l to deliver di.s 
 senting opini<»ns, and on one occa- 
 sion wnen several of such opinions 
 had followed one another, lie hu- 
 morously reminded the Court that 
 his conmiission nanted him as liie 
 successor to Mr. Justice Wilkins - 
 who was also frequently a dissenting 
 judge. The truth is that Judge VV. 
 never took anything for granted, 
 and never considered an argument 
 at an end until every possible phase 
 of the question had been threshed 
 out. it was this taste for dialectics 
 and this determination to get to (he 
 bottom of every cjuestion presenied 
 for consideration, that maiie him bo 
 valuable an accession to the bench. 
 Points that had escaped the atten- 
 tion of astute counsel on both sides, 
 and of the majority of the Court as 
 well, wo\dd often be lu(night to 
 light b}' the tireless activity of his 
 lununous and powerful intellect— 
 .sometimes in a dissenting opinion 
 to be adopted on appeal, oftencr in 
 the course of the argument, as a 
 controlling and determining factor 
 in the judgment. It is safe to say 
 that a more powerful and active 
 intellect never adorned tlie i)ench of 
 N. S." He is the author of a ciiar- 
 acteristic and incisive paper on tiie 
 Maine boundary disputes and tiio 
 Ashburton Treaty, a subject on 
 which he predicts the last word has 
 not been said. This was read before 
 the N. 8. Hist. Soc, of which ho 
 became the Presdt. on tlie death of 
 Sir Adams Archibald . Besiiles many 
 other contributions to the pre.^s of a 
 literary and hist, character, he was 
 selected as a representative of the 
 Can. bench, in conjunction with 
 Mr. Justice Miller of the Supreme 
 Ct. of the U. S., and Cooley, tiio 
 well-known constitutional writer, to 
 contribute to the Am. Lair Rev. an 
 article on "Codification of the Law," 
 in which he fearlessly but modestly 
 opposed the views of David Dudley 
 Field in a manner which elicited 
 the approbation of the keen analyti- 
 cal mind of a famous jurisconsult.

 ject of the drainage of land. To 
 the astonishment oven of expert 
 electricianH, in defending an attack 
 upon a modest arti<:lo ho pioduced 
 upon the subject of deep ocean 
 cables, he was le<l into a (.-ontroversy 
 with the ed. of the Ij<mdoti Eier-

 sition to iron cables, in tn^nchant 
 letters which attracted the favour-

 The Judge has not only written 
 upon apple-growing, but he is in the 
 habit of asserting that he knows 
 much fr(jrii experience which he has 
 never had time to write, having, in 
 the leisure hours borrowed from an 
 official life, superintended the plant- 
 ing in the far famed valley of (jas- 
 pereaux the largest apple orchards 
 in the Province— over 8(MK) trees in 
 all. With what he boasts of as 
 instinct amounting to a [)assion for 
 the picturesque in nature, he is con- 
 stnu'ting winding roads thiough the 
 undulating slopes and along the 
 terraces on the charnung banks of 
 tlie river, converting what his 
 friends claim to be a profitable in- 
 vestment into an ininutable jiark. 
 " Nomenclature" is one of the hob- 
 bies which the tireless Judge con- 
 fesses he would, if time pernutted, 
 ride with whip and spur. His 
 Clydesdale pair of draught liorses, 
 for example, respond to the names, 
 "Grit "and "Tory." "Now," he 
 soberly argues, " by this luunorois 
 application of fanailiar ternis I oflTer 
 a perpetual object lesson that Grit 
 and Tory may pull toi/rfher ; and 
 thus, throughout an area of 20 miles, 
 I soften the as|)eritiea of politics in 
 ny neighbourhood, and a removal 
 for ' obnoxious partisanship ' is out 
 of the (juestion there. These ami- 
 able brutes would put the whole

 of the N.-W. Mounted Polii.n force, 
 under Col. (now Maj.-(ienl.) Fromih, 
 C.M.G., 1873, Mr. W. was specially 
 selected by the late Sir John Mac 
 donald to take charge, under him, 
 of the administration of the Tolice 
 Bureau at Ottawa -a position he 
 has (jontinued to retain under cacli 
 succeeding Prime Minister. He 
 takes the title of (.^onjptroller of the 
 N. -VV. Mounted I'olice, and, in 
 July, 1883, was accorded the rank 
 and status of a deputy head in the 
 C. S. In his official capacity Mr. 
 W. has become widely and favour- 
 ably known. Peihaps no otiior man 
 in the public service has had a more 
 extended experience of N.-W. affairs, 
 and there is no on(! certainly wlio has 
 done HO much, in tlie line of his duty 
 and otherwise, to foster and pi-omote 
 the best interests of tlie Territories. 
 The force under his immediate 
 charge has grown from a small Itody 
 of men to an effective strength of 
 1000 men, and has earned a high 
 reputation for activity, discipline 
 and good conduct. "I saw this 
 force, " writes a well-known Ger- 
 man traveller, "when first organ- 
 ized. It became the terror of .all 
 smugglers and adventurers. Later, 
 I met the Mountt^d Police when tliey 
 had arrested the 8ioux who an- 
 niliilated f nl. Custer's cavalry. 
 When the Can. half-hreeds rebelleti 
 under Louis Riel, the Mounted 
 Polit were again to the fore. It

 mainly to his predictions of storms, 
 which for yrs. have been faithfully 
 published by newspapers in all 
 countries and climes. He believes 
 that all storms, excepting those 
 usually called ' thunder-storms ' — 
 cyclones and great tempests-are 
 caused by planetary attraction, 
 which, he alleges, shifts the earth's 
 centre oi gravity and gives a vari- 
 able weight to bodies on the earth's 
 surface. Earthquakes he conceives 
 to be from the same cause, and 
 during 3 mths. after one of his 
 heaviest storms he always predicts 
 earth([uakes. . . . His theory of 
 tidal waves is also extremely in- 
 teresting, and appears strongly 
 probable ; and a number of the pre- 
 dictions wliich he has made have 
 been literally fulrilled." A mem. of

 the arc, fused down to a heavy 
 Kemi-mot»<!lic ma.ss, which, having 
 been examined and found not to be

 the result that violent ctfefvescence

 that iu a properly l)uilt electrical 
 furnace, finely ground lime, mixed 
 with powdered carl)()n in any form, 
 can bo fused, forming the comjiound 
 known as calcium carbide, and that 
 M'hen this is brought in contact with 
 water a double decomposition takes 
 place, resulting in the formation of 
 calcic oxide and acetylene gas, the 
 small cost of the gas not only bring- 
 ing it within the range of commer- I 
 cial use, but enabling tlie chemist or i 
 manufacturer to build up a host of I 
 other compounds on a scale of cheap- \ 
 uess hitherto undreamt of. The fact ! 
 that acetylene gas gives a light which j 
 the spectrum shows to have all the 
 elements of sunlight, and which can 
 be produced probably at one-half the ■ 
 cost of common gas or electric light, 
 gives us only one element in the 
 practical value of calcium carbide.

 Ed. at the (lalt public achs. and by 
 private tuition, he became connected 
 with the press at an early age. In 
 1853 he purchased the Dumfries 
 Reformer (Gait), which he success- 
 fully ed. aiul managed for 10 jts. 
 He then embarked in manufacturing 
 and otl'fir enterprises, carrying on, 
 for a c siderable periml, the Vic- 
 toria Bending and Wheel Works, 
 which he had purchased. His liter- 
 ary work was not allowed to flag, 
 however, for he was a regular 
 
 editorial contributor on commercial 
 and statistical subjects to the Mont- 
 real Trade Review and the Toronto 
 Momtarxj Timeft, and contributed 
 occasionally to the Toronto Olohe 
 and other journals. He likewise

 against Commercial Un. A'ith the 
 U. S. and Imp. Federation. It was a 
 reprint of a series of letters that ap- 
 peared originally in the Toronto 
 C-tobe. These letters attracted wide- 
 spread attention, as well in Gt. Brit, 
 and the U. S. as in Can., and did 
 much to give a f'uietus to the Com- 
 mercial Union fad. Among those 
 who complimented the author on 
 their production was Sir John Mac- 
 donald, then Prime Minister of Can. 
 Mr. Y. is well and favourably known 
 as a public speaker, and has delivered 
 many addresses and lectures in 
 various portions of his native Prov- 
 ince. Among the.se was an ad<lress 
 on "Can. Nationality: a Glance at 
 the Present and the Future," de- 
 livered before the National Club, 
 Toronto, during the winter, 1890-91. 
 It was, with other addresses, pub- 
 lished by the Club in book-form, and 
 is described as "a vigorous and elo- 
 quent argument, setting forth the 
 progress and success of the Can. Con- 
 federation, strongly opposing any 
 form of annexation, and advocating 
 Can. nationality as the ultimate

 not desert the cause [Irish Homo 
 Rule] in which he had enlisted. 
 Something he had recently said in a 
 speech delivered in hia luitive town 
 had been miainterpreted. Ho had 
 not any sinister idea or malign no- 
 lion suggestive of hia resumption of 
 political leadership in thia country. 
 He had had enougli of that. He liad 
 always detested it, had kept away 
 from it, and had got out of it as soon 
 as he could. He knew no conceiv- 
 able thing that couM induce him to 
 get into it again. Surely it was not 
 a criminal wish or a too large ambi- 
 tion to desire to take part as an inde- 
 pendent citizen in the public life of 
 his native land. He wished that, 
 and no more."
