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
York, of the Society of Historical Studies, Montreal, and of the American Geographical
Society, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Northern Anticiuaries of Denmark, and an
Honorary Fellow of the Royal Colonial Institute of England.)

In 1862 Mr. Morgan established "Tlie Canadian Parliamentary Com-
panion," which he edited and published, annually, up to 1876; and, in
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.

He was Cnairnian of the Royal

in Can. for a few months, and again

aociuainted with the wonderful nat-

result of his olwervations invested
largely iu lands in that Province.

' 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)

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.

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

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-
ing recognized as the lea^iing expert
in the judging, not only of Can., but

in
of Am. and European fruits, hie ser-
vices have been Hought for by the
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-
Pirtant work for growers in that
rovince. Mr. A. m. Esther, young,

graduating from Merton Coll., where
he carried off' the liigheMt lionourH
that Coll. could liostow, he ac-
cepted the nritieipalMhip of a Coll.
newly e8tabliHhe<l at Spanish Town,
i7aniHi(;a, where he ha<l the oppor-
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:
•• Physiologioal .■Esthetics" (1877);
" The Colour Sense " ( 1879) ; "The
Evolutionist at Large " ( 1881 ) ;
" Anglo-Saxon Britain " ( do ) ;

" Flowers and Their Pedigrees "
(1884) ; " Charles Darwin," in
Andrew Lang's Series of English
Worthies ( 1885) ; "Babylon," a novel
(1885); and "For Mamie's Sake"

" The Attis of Catullus,'' " Science
in Arcady," "Post-Prandial Phil-
osophy," "The Scallawag,'" "The
Lower Slopes," and " At Market

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

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.,

12, 1820, he atttnded Eng. and
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-
ship of the Quebec Assenddy, 1872,
for party reasons. He m. 1847,

tor of Kiltegan and of Ix>ugh Brick-
land, and R. D. B. at the present
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
examiners in, and a lecturer on,
Equity Law for the fiaw Soc, and
was apptd. an hon. mem. 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

and was b. at Scotia, Lake Ki ie,
Ont.,Nov. 4, 1862. and ed. at the
St. ThomaM Coll. Inst. She is per-
haps better known in the U. S. tlian
in Can. Her suecess in literature
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
las led to her being called "The
Hwecitest of Canada's po«;l8. " A col-

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

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
time, in the Brit, ami, Fortvpi Evan-

Joseph Casavant, organ builder. B.
at St. Hyacinthe, P.Q., Sept. 16,
1855, he was ed. at the Coll. in that
city (where he was joined V>y his
I>ro. , Joseph Casavant, b. at St.
Hyacinthe, Apl. 4, 1859). Devoting
them-selves to the same trade as
their father, the bros. acquired a
knowledge of organ-building undeva
prominent firm in Can. At the ex-
piration of their apprenticeship,
they went to Europe with a view of
studying the more recent improve-
ments introduced there in connec-
tion with their business. On their
return to Can. , 1880, theye8tabli8he<l
the manufactory at St. Hyacinthe,
which bears their name, and from
that time commenced to turn out a
large number of first-class instru-
ments, composed principally of ch.
organs. They paid a second visit to
Europe, 1886, and since then have
introduced the electric action in
their orgatis. The Messrs. Casavant

the following yeur, continuing to
hold that seat up to the present
time, Mr. C. has taken a conspicu-
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
ree of charge. The bill carried in
the Commons, but was thrown out
by the Senate. He was one of the

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.
These settlements are situated at

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
CHARLTON.
LSI
CominonH, 1894, Imt it failed to
coininaiui a majority in the Senate.
Mr-. Charlton considers nsst from
lalnmr on Sunday a civil right, anil

that assumjition, and uixjn the
llXJIl
the
further aHsumption that tne State
may projnjrly seek hy legislation to
promote the moral, physical and
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.

including the Presidency of the
Shamrock Ijvcro.sse and Athletic
Assn., of the Cath. Y. M.'s Soc, of
the St. Patrick's Soc, of the Irish
National League, and of the Press
Assn. of Quehec. Later, he became
one of tlu! founders of the Montreal
Tra<le8 and I.iabour Council. As a
I)olitician, he joined in the national
movement started in M(mtreal,
Nov., 1885, in consequence of the
execution of Louis Riel, and was
apptd. Joint Secy., with the late
Hon. L. Duhamel, of the National
Comte. , organized on that occasion.
During the ensuing campaign ho
addressed French and Eng. meetings
in over 50 electoral divisions in the

tested Montreal Centre for the Ho.
of Commons, in the Lib. interest, at

Sabourin, Con., 902). He does not
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

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-

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

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

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

being his attendance upon the large
number of patients aamitted with

of that year. He hatl the satiafac-

patients or inmates. In 1856, his '■

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.

several of the leading Am. periodi-

CTJHBIE, Rev. Walter Thomas

1885, he was the first mission, sent
out to Africa by the Can. Cong.

he established the mission sta :ion at
Cisambra, Bihe, West Central Afri-
ca. Here he remained alone until

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,

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

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

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,

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

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
252
DAWSON.
I
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

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,

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

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

portant of his public lectures and

otic societies in his native country.
He was one of the founders of the
"Canada First" party, an organi-

number of friends of the cause, Sir
John Lubbock in the chair, and the
conf. decided upon the constitution
of a revived League, under the name

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

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.

paper is an evidence of the fact, that
character counts for success in
journalism. The paper has always
refused advertisements of theatres,

well. In its career it has been ex-

Most dangerous of all, there has
been in competition in Montreal

that the mainspring of its prosperity
has been public confidence in its
motives and character." Like his

was b. in pjdinlmrgh, Scot., 1829.
Ho was od. at Edinburgh High Suh.
and Univ., and came to Can., 1854,
for the purpose of assuming the
practical and technical management
of the extensive sugar refinery then
established in Montreal by the late
John Redpath. The enterprise was
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
became a dir. of the Bank of Mont-
real, 1882, and has been V.-l'. of
that institution since 1887. He
joined the Montreal Bd. of Trade,
1884, was V.-P. that and the follow-
ing year, and Presdt. , 1 886-88. Ow-
ing to his efforts the port of Mont-
real was freed from the l)urden con-
tracted by the deepening of the St.
Lawrence channel. He became, also,
Presdt. of the co. owning and de-
veloping the coal and iron mii'es at
Londonderry, N.S., and is ctmnectod
with various other commercial and
industrial enterprises. A lover of
art, he is Presdt. of the Art Assn.,
of Montreal, and owns one of the
finest galleries of paintings on the
continent. He was elected Presdt.
of the Can, Golf Assn., 1895, and
became uue of the provisional trus-
tees of the Victoria Order of Nurses,
1897. A Con. in politics, he unsuc-
cessfxdly contested Montreal West
for the Ho. of Commons with the late
Hon. John Young, g. e. 1872, and j
was called to the Senate of Can. , by !
the Marquis of Lome, 1 880. He was I
one of the originators of the Citizens' |
League, Montreal, founded som<j 1
years ago for co-operation with the
civic authorities towards securing
the municipal well-being of the city.
Mr. D. is a mem. of the Presb. Ch.,
and has btjen twice m., Ist, 1857, to
Helen, dau. of the late John Red-
path (she d.); and 2ndly, 1884, to
(irace Julia, relict of the late Geo.
Hamilton, ami dau. of the late A.
Davidson Parker, Montreal. Some
yis. ago Mr. D. founded the Home
for Incurables, Montreal, which was
opened 1 oi)4, under the charge of the
sisters of St. Margaret. Mrs. D.
bestowed much thought and care to
the preparation of the interior por-
tion of this institution. She has
been closely connected with various
other benevolent undertakings, is a
dir. of the Women's Hist. Soc. , and
was the first Presdt. of the Mont-
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

touch with the French element, and
just to all nationalities. We Cana-
dians ought to be the fairest and

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,''

"Eaton, I think, has been the most

few writers in the U. S. who equal
him in this respect. This volume,

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

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 gifts of the Chevalier, a htcket

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

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-

prepared by him. As a party man,
he acted wiih Mr. Tarte, in the

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

Ml
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,
eld. dan. of the late Sanil. Babbitt.
Mrs. E. is much interested in all
that pertains to the go<.)d of human-
ity, ami her active co operation in
good works, as well as her marked
ability, was the cause of her election

(Chrs,), was b. at Keswick, Co. York,

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

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-
cles, and fully sustained the higii
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
The iree^ and other Can. periodicals,
and in 1893, hecjame assoc. ed. of the

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-

complete in existence. Mr. F. was

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

Ushers, issued a mandfinent, Nov.,

FLEMING, Sir Sandford (C.E.), is
the s. of the late Andrew Greig
Fleming, by his wife, Elizabeth
Arnot. B. at Kirkcaltly, Fifeshire,
Scot., Jan. 7, 1827, he was ed. there,
and studied surveying and eng; leer-
ing at the same place. Coming to
Can., 1845, he joined the engineer
ing staff of the Northern Ry. , and
in 1857, was apptd. Chief Engr. of
thai road. Subse(|uent!y, he wa.s in
partnership with Messrs, Ridout
& Schreibor. In 1863, he was cho-
si'H by the peo[)le of the Red River
settlement (now included in the
Pro\ince of Man.) to proceed to
Kng. for the purpose of urging the
[mp. authorities to open ry. com-
munication between Red River and
Eastern Can. On his return froui
' his mission, he was apptd. by the
govts, of Can. , N. S. and N. B., n\
conjunction with H. M.'s Govt., to
conduct a survey for the first link
in a ry. which would extend from
the Atlantic to the Pacific within

during its (construction. Mean-
while lie had been apptd., in 1871,

foundland, to ascertain the possi-

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
for Busy Hou.seholds' (1879); " (Jni-

Cable Across the Pacific" (188'2) ;

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.
353
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.

to <iirect the earlier studies of G. A.

talents have secured recognition
and distinction. During the last
two years, though ill liealth has

of his plays have been product;d

known to Canauians as the author of

ha,s written not a few : " Flap-

" A Dream of Pure Politicians,"

most attention by their witty and
keen criticisms of the follies and
weaknesses of the day. These pro

sarcasm, are lemarkable for 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-

the defence. The above were ail
private cases. He was also retained
in the following, which were of a
more j)ublic character viz : The
Lachine Canal case ; Jette >'.^. Mc-

feated by his opponent, the late
Hon. R. Laflamme, Q.C., by 48
votes. He was again defeated on
presenting himself in Beauharnoia
at the g. e. 1874. Returning to
Jacques Cartier in 1876, when he
was defeated by 28 votes, and again
1878, he won tne se<it on an appeal
to the courts, by a majority of 2,
his real majority, as afterwards
shown, being over 200. Mr. G. con-
tinued to represent Jacques Cartier

insanity, and with 1(5 other Fieneh
(,'on. nieni. constituted for a time a
separate group of tho party known
as the " Bolters." His letter, put)
lishedNov. , 1885, in answer to the
defence of the (Jovt. by Sir Alex,
('anipboll, was widely circuliite<i
and noticed. Ho was Cliairnian of
the Stand ing Comte. on FVivilegcs
and Eleetions, and in that capacity
presided in the I^angevin Mc(treevy
case, 1S91, at 104 sittings of the
comte. No exception was taken to
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.
wrote an essay on the Insolvent A(!t
of 1864, and " Conaiderations sur
les lois civiles du niariage " (18H8).

Kerr, Q.C), to La lieo. de Droit In
tent., and to La Miner^e. As a
student he lectured successfully be-
fore L'Inst. Can. Frainjais and the
Cabinet de Lee. Paroissial. His
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
volume which v/as given Xo the pub-
lic in the year of the Worlds Fair,
189.3. under the title of " f^ike St.
Louis, Old aiifl New. Illustrated, and

it has been said that " more light is
thrown upon tin* history of the early
settlement of Montreal Island, the
(irst inhabitants of tho dist., and
the Indian wars of the period than
had previously been att'orded by any
Kng. or PVench-speaking historian."

yrs. of age he visited the W. I.
I.slands, and with others crossed
Mexico on horseback from the At-
lantic to the Pacific Oceans, a long
halt being made at the mining
camps of Zaiiatacas. He was struck
with the similarity of the moun-
tainous dist. in B. C to those of
Zacatacas in Mexico. But the
Kaslo and Slocan mining dist. of
3. C. are much richer and more
extensive ; the ore there yielding

GEANT, The Very Eev. George
Monro (I'renb. ), iiuthor un<l edii-
cAtioniHt, 1)10. of Rov. V. M. (».,
was b. at the Albion Minc8, N.S.,
Dec. 22, ISSr). E<1. at Piotou Acad,
and at the West River Semy. of the
Presb. Ch., he received a bursaiy
111 1853, that entitled him to a
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. ,
from his Almti Mati r. Owing to the
withdrawal of th«! (Jovt. grant from
the Cniv., soon after Conioderation,
the fiiiHiices of that institution were
in a depressed state at the date of
Dr. (i.'s election. Heat once set to
work \n raise an endowment fund,
and succeeded in collecting the sum
of ;?1,')0,0(JO, to whi(!h he has added
at different times since, .1250, 000.
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.
In a<:ldition to " Ocean U> Ocean,"

Sermons" (18155-66); "Reformers

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).

the Sacred Heart, Sault aii R^ollet,
P.Q., but her first musical training
came from her father, who was him-
Kidf a skilful mu.sician. At the age
of 7, Mdlle. Lajeuneaso made her
first appearance in public at the
Mechanics' Hall, Montreal, under
the aiispiceM of several of the load-
ing citizens of that nty. At 15,

she was offered the position of or
gnnist by Vi(!ar-'itail. Conroy, later

cultivation of her voice than she
could hojie to receive in Am. At
Paris, Mad. Latitte introduced hor
to Prince Poniatowski, who advised
her to go to Milan, with the view of
studying under Lamperti, for Ital
lan opera. Several yra. of hard
study followed, till at last, in 1870,
she made her cidhtit at Messina, un-
der the name of Albani. Immedi-
ately afterwards she sang at Malta,
and then, in the winter of 1871-72,
£.t the Theatre of La Pergola, Flo-

the ".Mignon " of Aniljroise Thomas,

in Ix)n(lon, 1872, and Hinno then has
been a great favorite in Eng. In
iSt. Petersbtirgh, PariH, herlin, and
njost of tho Euiopcan capitalH, as
well as in the IJ. S., she ha8 been
received with equal enthuHiaani, and
she in to-day eertaitdy one of the
most popular singere in the world.
In 18S3, and thrice Hubseijueiniy,
she made a tour of the U. H. and
(Jan., and in May, 188(5, sang the
o<le written by TeniiyHon for tlie
opening of the ( !ol. and Ind. Kxhn.
in London. Her favourite opera is
"Othello," and she is Haid t^> have
learned tho musie in a fortniglit.
In 1895, she assumed the role of
" Edith" in the new Eng. opera of
"Harold," and in 18JK), appeared
in Wagner 'fl "Tristan and Isoldo."
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
oratorio singing, and she is now a(!
knowledged to be the first oratorio
singer in Eng., and is engaged at
all th(» principal festivals. iShe m.

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'

the hon. degree of D.C'.L. After

of putting a duty on Am. coal, and
of adojiting towards the (J. 8. a
" self-reliant policy " (ufterwanls
known as the " National Poli(;y '" in

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.,

dinner at the Westminster I'alace
Hotel. Ml. H. , who was t,he Hrat

chow, at a meeting of tiie .\nthrop. |
Soc. of Berlin, July 20, 1895, read a
papor on " Extracts from Mr.

•sjiid, " that south, and to some
extent on the heights of the Atlas,
a dwarf race is living, with woolly
liair, and a reddish (tompIexi(ui,
seems to lv> beyond doubt, anil we
nuist certainly give the credit of the
discovery to Mr. Haliburton."
I'rof. Starr, of the Dept. of Authrop.

I8i)7: "Half of my article on the
Pygmy Racea of Men,' in the North
Am. Rev., for June, l.89(>, waa
devoted to Mr. H.'s discoveries. It
is possible that his idea, that the
histoi'y of man begins with a
' Dwarf Era,' may in time be ac-
cepted by .science." In \H9'A, Prof.
Sayce wrote to Mr. H. : " Your
name h"reafter will l»e attached to
the discovery of tlwarf raco.s in
North Africa, as Schweinfurth's is
to that of the dwarfs of (Central
Africa. It is tiie most import.int

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
through the pct establishing the Bd.
of Health, which has done .so much
to disseminate knowledge of hygiene
and inspii'e local action on the part
of the nninicipalities in connection
with the public health. Ileapptd.

marriages and deaths, to amending
the Election Act, respecting [)rivate
lunatic ii.sylums, an industrial refuge

institutions, all became law undei
his supervision. So also witli respect

of homes r>f industry and uidustrial
farms, respecting the othces of Police
Magistrate and Sheriff, damage tc>

i acts of like character, which it is
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
j time and attention in the Legis-
lature. Miu^h might be s;iid of Nlr.

I under the license laws. The a«;t
known as the ' Crooks Act ' is more
I largely the work of Mr. H. than of
; 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-
ing the I'iglit of repi(\scntation in
the Local Legislature to the Kainy
River and Nipissing Dists., and of
the election of their first inenis, ,
were also submitted by him, as
Coninr. of C'rown Lands. His legis-
lation ha.-? had largely to do with
the Crown ilomain, free grants to
settlers, the public timber and pul)-
lic parks, and the municipul assess-
ment and drainage lawn. Bills re-

niunber of those general or minor j
nieaHures, more or less aH'ecting the
Dept. of (hown Lands, wliich have
reeeive<l Mr. H.'s attention. The |
latter act ])rovides that men who i
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.

apjjrcciation of public wants in thus

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.
We are indebted to Dr. H. for many
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

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

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-

Can. Govt., he explored a portion of
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-

Holmes, senator, a native of Rohs-
Bhire, Scot., by Christina Eraser,
his wife. B. at East River, July
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.

contributed by him to " Puck's (Jir

and Telegraphic World" (18S9), he
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
anxiety to beat records in the matter
of distance, Mr. H. shows in the

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
Siecle," a comedy ; and "The Stone,
Bronze, and Iron Ages." Col. D. is

All. Si'knl. Unir., of Pai'is ; also
an lion. mem. of the Soc. of Can.

He lives in retirement at his pretty
f)lace in P. E. I., content with his
ibrary and a few warm personal
and literary friendships.— -" //frrtp-

things, but do not know how to
succeed as thou hast done." She

" Lojal Janet" she wrote for the
Monti cai irt'i/iCM, some yrs. ago,
some Scotch articles that hit U]>oii
social topics, and were very pojjular.

nition" (1874), a work which has I
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

appeared as counsel in some im >or-

fully reported at the time. U.uler
commission from the Dom. (iov ., he
was apptd., 1881}, to act judicially'
in extradition matters in Ont.
During the next 9 yrs. he wa.s
twice sent to Eng. to arrange .settle-
ment of e.states for clients in Am.
His pr.ictice, however, lay ohierty in
the criminal cts. , and this assisted
him in the mechanism of a novel

and women we live among, and
wiioiii we gr<»w to know as we know

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,

wards on the Broekville and Ottawa
branch, under his uncle, the late
Samuel Keefer, C.E. Subsequently,
he became an engr. on the (Jrand

KEEFER, Thomas Coltrin, C.E,, is
grandson of an AlnaLian Hugnenot,
who came to Am. in early life, set-
tling in the Brit. Province of N. J.,
and who afterwards served in tlie
lirit. array during the Am. revolu-
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
V. -P., 1897. Included among tiiese
are a monograph favoui'ing the con-
struction of the Can. Pac. Ry. (1869).

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
elsewlierc. He was the engr. of the
Montreal Harbour Comn. for some
yrs., and was the first to pioposothe
dredging of the channel at Lake St .
Peter to a deptli of more than 16J

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

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

cipality Act of 1877. Th.' work of
defending the N. B. Schs. Act ui the
Legislature, in the country, bt^foro
the courts, and against aggressive
action taken in the Parlt. of Can.,
fell largely upon him. Upon the
appeal to the judicial comte. of the
Privy Council of the ease raised
upon the constitutionality of the
Act, Mr. K. was counsel for tho
ri!spond(!nts and visited Eng. in
their interest. As Atty. -(»enT. , he
personally conducttsd the trial for
murder in the cases of the Queen v.
('hasson, the t^ueen v. Kodgers, tho
Queen v. McNutt, the Qu'jen v,
O'Neil, th<i case against the Cara-
<juet rioters, growing out of the Sch.
Act in 1875, and the celebrated
l)igamy case of the (jhu;en r. Wright.
The securing of a verdict against
the rioters from a juiy chosen from
a comnnmity that had been greatly
inilueiued against the Sch. Act was
regarded at the time as a great
professional Iriumpli. His Lordship

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

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

Later, he was included in tlio Koyal

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-

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-

(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.

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.

but owing to the prohibitive nature
of the law in that colony, could not
gain admission as a barrister there
until the following year. He .sub.se-
(pu!ntly entered into jjartnership
with his bro. , the late John Little,
and secured a lucrative practice.
He tjntered the Legislature. 1850, de-
feating the ( Jovt. eanditlate by a
large majority. His address em-
bodied the principles of respoiisible
govt., viz.: entire reform in tiie char-
ai!ter of the legislation, and the
protection of tl;c rights of the op-
eratives engaj^jid in the great in-
du.stryof the countrj', etc. Owing
to his position, character and
abilities, he soon became the ac-
knowledged leader of the Lib. party
in the colony, and lost no oppor-
tunity of assailing the old system of
irresponsible rule, and of advocating
with zeal and ability the right of
Nfd. to self-govt. Ky his earnest
and determined e.vertions, the agita-
tion became general throughout the
colony for theestablishmerit of a new
system similar to that in .succcssfT'l
operation in the neighbouring c ■.
onies, so that the govt, miglit be
conducted in the true spirit of Lord
John Russell's declaration of col.
rights, according to the well under-
stood wishes of the people as ex-
pressed by their jwirliamentary re-
presentatives. The ground of bat-
tle M'as extended to Lond(m, and Mr.
L. yviiH apptd. to head s«neral depu-
tations to (he Imp. authorities in
the conflict. He succeeded in en-
listing in his cau.se some irf the most
influential col. reformers in the Imp.
Parlt., inchuling ,Iose|)h Hume,
.John Bright and .John Arthur Roe-
J>uck, by whose assistance his eti'orts
were ultimately crowned with suc-
cess in 18.54. Owing, however, to
tile opposition of the (}ov.,ho was
obliged to return to London and
obtain that otticial's recall, and, in
18o,5, Gov. Darling was apptd. to
introduce the new system of govt.
As the result of the g. e. 1855, the
(iov. entrusted to Mr. L. , as leader
of the Lil). party, the formation of
a responsible ministry and the in-
auguration of .self govt. , appointing
him to the office of Atty.-Genl. The
colleagues Mr. L, nominated were
men of moderate views and of dif-
ferent religiou.s denominations ; and
his policy as Premier of the colony
partook of the same character dur-
ing his Adnni. In 1853 he was
apptd. by the .Assembly a del. to the
Conf. which took place at Quebec,
under Lord Elgin, to conclude the
Reciprocity Treaty with the U.S.
and the Brit, colonies. He was also
instruiiioiital, as a del. to the Home
Uovt., in obtaining the subsidy for
the (istablishment of d'lect steam
communication between Gt. Brit,
and t,he colony. Upon the project
of the Atlantic cable, when th<> ne-
gotiations ha<l nearly failed, he was
called uj)on to intervene, and suc-
ceeded in eft'ecting an arrangement
for the gra.iling of the charter to
the Atlantic Telegraph Co. By in-
cessant application and over-work
Mr. L.'s health, not very robust at
an}- time, became affected, and, in
185S, he accepted the Senior .Judge-
ship of the Supreme Ct. A mem, of
the R. C. Ch., he m. in 18G4, Misa

MAIR, Charles, poet, is the s. of

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-

of the same way of thinking to this

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

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.

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

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

toria Univ., Cobourg (B.A. , and

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-

his message to Congress and tho
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-

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
citizen of the world and belongs to
no eh., being simply in this, as in
other matters, a truth-seeker. —

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

the engineering difftculticH to be
ovorcomo. None of these olmtacles,
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-
trait, painted by Frank HoU, li.A.,
was exhibited at the (Jrosvenor
(Jallcry, 18K.S. Politically, ho is a

His Lordship has contributed largely
to meritorious pur|)oHCH. In 1883
he donated $r)0,(.0(> to the Montreal
(ienl. Hospital to build a pavilion
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
Ro/al Victoria Hospital, Montreal ;

being one of the Mowatsof Bucholie,

owners of the ancient castle of the
Vikings in Scot. He is the s. of the
late Jolm Mowat, formerly of Canis
bay, one of Wellington's veterans in
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
logislation in a sound direction and

which liave been laid fur hitn. Ho
has the faculty of estimating pass-
ing events, not from ilie po nt of

pear to those who bear a pnrt iu

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

( 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

continued to be published under his

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

the Leg. (Council or Upjier House of
that day, as well as to municipal
and local officers ; 2, the abolition of

mentary representatives ; 3, the ex-
tension of tlie elective tianchiae to

proceedings ; 9, the application of

Upon the formation of the Hincks-

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,

seat in the Ont. Legislatun.". At the
g. e. 1887, he stood in the Lib. in-

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.

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 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

R. Bir(!hall for the murdei- of F. C.
lienwell near Woodstock, Ont., 1890,
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
erejiled hy the prisoner's antecedents,
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-
pied in throwing a daily i-eflection of
the proceedings in a provincial
courthouse <m to the nevv8]>a])er
sheets throughout the Kng. -speaking
world. Tlie test, liowever, has been
underg(jne, and the country realizes
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-
tion in eveiy sense creditable to
the Dom. In no country in the
world could Birdiall hive had a
fairer trial than lie obtaincil in

\i. in Ayr, Scut., he was eil. at the
Univ. and Free Ch. Coll., Edin-
burgh, Ijeing ordained 1860. About
the time he finished his studies a
(lep'itation from South Africa visited
Scot., seeking a relay of ministors
for the then under-manned Dutch
Reformed Ch. in that region ; and
in response to that invitation he,
along with several other young
preachers, went to the Capo. He
settled in the nplaml section of Na-
tal, adjoining the Transvaal, and la-
l)onred for 12 yrs. among the Dutch-
speaking farmers and the scattered
Eng. families. He also wrote "The
Dutch Reformed Ch. in South Af-
rica, an Historical Sketch." which
has l)een published in the Eng. and
the Dutch languages, and is still
referred to as a most reliable work.
His health failing, ho returned to
Scot, and engaged in nii.ssion work
in that country. Coming to Can. in
1880, he was for 7 yrs. pastor at
Redbank, N. B. , and subsequently
wrought in the mission tields in
N. S., Ont and Quebec. In Jan.,

D'Alton McCarthy, solicitor, by his
wife, (.'harleszina Hope Manners,
an<l Mas b. at Oakley Park,
Blackrock, near Dublin, Irel., Oct.
10, 1836. His early studies were
conducted in his native country. In
1847 ho accompatiicd his parents to
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
and searching, his summing np a
model of conciseness and lucidity.
While not as subtle as Christopher
Robinson, or as powerful as Edward
Blake, he is not far behind either in
substantial ability." Mr. McC. was
first returned to Parlt., Dec. 14,
1870, at a by-election held in Card-
well, the vacancy being caused by
the death of the sitting mem., Hon
J. H. Cameron, Q.C. He had

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

to Edinburgh, 1848, and, in 1853,
came to (Jan., making his home at
Hamilton, where he became mangr.

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-

tournament held at Ingersoll <arrio<l
otf the 3rd prize from 11 competi-

he became h(!ad proofioader at the

field is evidenced by the peculiar
work he was obliged to perform.
It is stated that he (Mice read the

It is safe to say that a similar task

The following are his conclusions:
" 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-
claring, at the same time, 'tliat

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
l)een on the commission of the Peace
since 1858, and has more than omi
declined Parliamentary honours. In

on the daily press, and while so en-
gaged deveh>ped a talent for de-
scriptive writing. Having devoted
much time to the study of the pro-
blems atlt'cting Working girls, she
conceived the idea of helping tiicm
by inijiarting a knowledge of ste-
nograjjliy, wliich she was thoroughly
competent to do. This led her to
the formation of classes, which she
taught, and she had the honour of
being the pionc'cr lady teaciicr of
shorthand in Can., besides introduc-

thousands now avail themselves to
their own and their employer's ad-
vantage. Mis. N.s name has of late

articles in the leading literary peri-

witli the coveted short story, a line
of writing in which she has had pro
bably more success than the average
Can writer, male or female. But she
is of R versatile turn, and her sym-
pathies being siLsceptible of ready
improsion, she has duimpioned
causes, formulated social ideas with

has contriliuted es.says to the press
on the social status of woman and

19 yis. of age, ho realized what had
long been his strongest desire, by
eiitciing St. Dunstan's Coll., Char-
lottetown, to study for the priest-
hood. AiFter 2 yrs. he became a
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

prefect of studies in St. Dunstan's
('oil. In Oct., 1873, he was ajiptd.
principal priest at the cath. , but his

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

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

noticeable have been the Lying-in
Hosjtital, the Andrew Mercer Eye

special abdominal operation.s, the
west wing, anfl the Nurses' Home.
In 1881 tlie Traniing >Sch. for Nurses
was I'stablislied, with an attendance
of half a dozen nurses. This has
now grown to an attendance of over
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

med. students as surgical dressers
for service with the volunteers

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.

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.

every j)n)mi8e of (listiHction and

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. ''

iiiavigurated a movement for grant-
ing long service medals to the mil.

attention to the strengthening of our

was a strong advocate, sending otfrs.

respondent that ho first became
known to the press. He is the
author of numerous anonymous hro-

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

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.

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

was again removed to Elm St. Ch.

later he was chosen to entablish and
manage a bi-anch of the co. in Mont-

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.
His plan was successfully accom-
plished in 1872 bj' tho organization
of tho Can. (iuaranteo Co. , now the
Guarantee Co. of North Am., wliose
career from the outset has been one
of complete success. In 1873 the co.

wrote .V letter of praise to the

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

torical Stu<lics, and the Second Sec.

mem. of the Lit. and Hist. Soc. of

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

thenc qualities tiiat Mr. K. hrings to
liirt every undertaking. This has
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

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
candidate of the Tupper Con. Adnui. ,
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

BOBINSON, Maj.-OeaL Charlei
Walker, Liciit.-(iovcrnor and Secy,
of Chelsea Hospital, is the 4th and
young, s of Mil,' late Cliief-Ju.stice
Sir J. B. Robinson, Bart. (U. E. L.
descent). He was b. at Beverley
House, Toronto, Apl. 3, 18:U», arid
received his education at U. C.
Coll. and Trinity Univ., Toronto,
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-
doubterl pre eminence that this com
mission should have been placed at
the dispo.sal of one of the niema. of
his family, witluiut purohase, and
siuhiiaving been done, his young.

that corps xintil 1886. He sorved
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
despatches, Bt. of Major, medal
with olasp). He .served in the Zulu
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-
vations on the Battle of Sedan "
(1871), and has translated a book by
the l)uke of Wurtemberg on the
system of attack of the Prussian
lufy. in the campaign of 1870-71.

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

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-

vate reasons he respectfullydeclined.
Except in so far as the dut ics of his

that personal and municipal <leanli

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.

the unveiling of the Chenier niorui-

considerable attention. Addressing
more particularly his French-Cari.
countrymen; on that occasion, he
said he would like an end put lo

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.

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.

June 9, I860, he received his educa-

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

write the liteiature on hunting and

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

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

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

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.,

approved by ihe High Sch. tescnera
of (Jnt. , one of whom has pronounced
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-

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

On proceeding to Oxford, he first
entered as an undergraduate of
l'hri«t C"h., l»ut heing elected to a

his course in that coll. He gainetl,
in 184'2, the Hertford scliolarHliij) for
Latin, and, in 1845, the scholarship
founded by l^ean Ireland for Latin
and (ireek. In the latter year lie
graduated B.A. as Ist class in Clas-

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

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.

Dundas, Ont., by his wife, Eliza
Eleanoi' (!oe, and was b. at l)unda,s,
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

of Geol. in the Univ. of Missouri,
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-

of graptalites and other foaniln of the i

'on. In the same region ho com- ;
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.

0,1c of the leaders in the Woman
Suffrage movonient. In 1877 Hhe
organized the Toronto Woinan'H Lit.
and Science Club, which, after some
yrs., resolved itself into a .suffrage
clul), inviting gentlemen to be
mems. thereof. Through thia (»rgani-
zation municipal suffrage was ob-
tained, in 188.'{, for widows and
spinsters in Ont. , and many other
practical reforms were effected. She
was the first wonum to knock at the
door of Toronto Univ. for admission
to the classes of Chemistry and
Physiol. She was refused by the
Senate, but predicted at the time
that the doors of the Univ. would
open some day to women, and they
have done so. She is now I'resdt.
of the T)om. Woman's Enfranchise-
ment Assn., which was incorporated,
1893. Hor career has been one of
struggle, attended by that sort of
persecution which falls to the lot oi
everyone who pioneers a new move-
ment or steps out of line \\ ith estab-
lished custom. As a public lecturer,
her principal topic has been "Wo-
man's Sphere." Mrs. S. was brought
up in tne Soc. of Friends, but she
has mitgrown all religious creeds.
She now stands in the broad field of
enquiry, a truth-seeker, desiring
knowledge from the interior life,
and that truth which alone maketh
free. She calls herself "a mental
scientist," and likewise "a scientific
socialist."— ^6\? Spadina Are.., To-

he is a (/on., and is looking for the

the Rev. Dr. Moekridge in his "Lives

singular devotion to duty, with an
entire disregard of personal (.'onifort

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

Algoma compels me to decline') was
characteristic of that zeal an(i devo-

down the vigorous health which had
enabled him to achieve marvellous
results in his Held of labour. Before
failing health compelled him to take

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),

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.

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);

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,

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,

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.,

ent comte. for the Provl. Agricul.
and In<lustrial Expns., 1887; a dir.

some time up to Sept., 189H, he was

THOMAS, Francis Wolferatan, bank

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-
pital, and of the St. John Ambu-
lance Assn., a dir. of the Mount
Royal Cemetery Co., Treas. of the
Church Home, Treas. of the Prot.
Hospital for the Insane, V.-P. of
the Can. Soc. for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, Treas. for the
Andrew's Home, Treas. for the
Murray Bay Convalescent Home
and Preadt. of the Mackay Inst, foi
Prot. Deaf Mutes and the Blind.
He is also a dir. of the Can, Life
Assur. Co., a mem. of the Council
of the Montreal Bd. of Trade, and
Chairman of (ho Bankers' brancli of
the Bd. of Trade. In 1894 he was
elected Presdt. of the Montreal
Genl. Hospital ; in 1895, Presdt. of
the St. George's Soc; and, in 1896,
Presdt. of the Dom. Bankers' Assn.
When the Brit. Assn. for the Ad-
vance, of Science visited Montreal,
1884, he was apptd. Chairman of
the local Finance Comte. One of the
most successful of his efforts — the
erection of the Montreal Genl. Hos
Sital Jubilee Training Home for
furses at a cost of $30,(XX) — was car-
ried out in 1897, in connection with
the celebration of the Queen's Dia
mond Jubilee. In religion, he is an

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

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

" best literary critic Can. had pro-

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

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

lieved to be the Hist philatelist.
Taken from sch. at 14 yrs. of age, he

ing classes of the Y.M.C.A., and at

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

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

TUCKETT, George Elias. manu-
facturer, was b. in Exeter, Eng.,
Dec, 1835, and came to Can., 1842,
where he was ed. Entering mercan-
tile life in Hamilton, he subsequently
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
point out the best representative of
the manufacturers as regards their
attitude to employes Mr. T. tako.s
first place in the roll-call." He whh
elected Mayor of Hamilton, 1896,
but was defeated on appealing for a

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

Capt. Richard Beverly Ussher, late
H. M.'s 86th Regt. , who was descend-
e<l directly from Richard Neville,
Earl of Warwick, "the King-maker."
For political reasons (me of the
Neville family, holding the ofhec of
Usher of the Black Rod, exchanged
his name for that of his office, and
in tlie reign of King John, the seccjnd
"s'" was added to the name, to dis-
tinguish it as a family name from
the office in which it originated.
Bp. U. comes fr<jin a distinguished
line of churchmen headed oy the
2 great archbps. , James, Archbp. of
Armagh and Lord Primate of Irol.,
and Henry Ussher, Lord Archbp. of

career, and at the age of 18 decided
to visit the U. !S. Adopting the
nie'^. profession, he Htiidied at the
Univ, of Michigan, but lacking
means, was obliged to defer taking
his degiee, M'iiicii he afterwards at-
tained by passing his exams, before

Med. Hoc. He finally pin-siied a 3
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;
but on June 9, 1 874, Dr. U. was oi--
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-

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

the R, E. Ch. in tlie Missouri valley,
which he did successfully at Kansas

union with Can.
was withdrawn after the 8ubniin.sion
of the " better terruh" gi-antod by

time he threw the weight of his
inrtuence in favom'of Confederation,
and the ultimate acceptance of the
Hchenie by the Legislature was
largely due, as has been acknow-
ledged, to his loyalty, tact and
popularity. Among the vaiious
|)iil>lic measures which Mr. V. in-
troduced and (tarried through the
Provl. Legislature, while a mem. of
that bo<ly, were : The Hallot Act

(!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

both in regard to the T'shories and
towards enforcing obedieuct^ to the

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.

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

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
to success. W^e have merely halted

WATSON, John, educationist, was
1). in Clasgow, Scot., Feb. 25, 1847.
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-
cal Phil.'' (1881); "Schelling's Tran-
s(!endental Idealism : a Critical Ex-
position" (1882) ; " Comte, Mill and
Spencer: an Outline of Phil." (1895);
"Hedonistic Theories; From Aris-
tippns to Spencer" (1895); and
"Cliristianity and Idealism : The
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

he has continued ever since. Short ly
after coming of age he joined llic
Bd. of Trade. Later, he was one
of the t>rganizers of the Cora K.\-
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

WEATHEBBE, Hon. Bobert Linton,
judge and jurist, is descende<l from
the same Yoikshire family that
produced the "Weathcrbys" of
Lon(h)n, who founded the "Stud

< "alendar," and who, for more than
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-

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,

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-

editora he wai nusti»ken for the
" Supdt. of Cables for Halifax.'
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

which for yrs. have been faithfully

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-

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.

YOUNG, Hon. James, statesman,
was b. at Gait, Ont., May 24, 1835,
and is the eld. s. of the late John
Young, who arrived in Can. from
Melrose, Scot., the previous year.
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
was the author of 2 prize essays,
one on " The Agricul. Rew urces of
Can."; the other on "The Recipro-
city Treatv ; its Advantages to the
United States and Can, " The latter
was printed specially for circulation

Mr. Y.'s other publications are a
volume : ' ' Rem iniscences of the Early

of Dumfries" (1880), and a pamphlet,
entitled "Our Nation-' future"
(1887), which takes st- ground
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
destiny of the Dom. and the best
antidote to Americanizing tenden-
