It is as large as the French Republic or the German Empire. It has a population of over 2,000,000, contained in one-third 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 Dominion Government revenue. Its climate is healthful and invigorating, warm in summer 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, London and other cities and towns of Ontario, provides religious facilities, educational advantages, social privileges and business opportunities of the best class. 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 acres 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. ADVERTISEMENTS tfte* Canadian Bank o f Commerce HEAD OFFICE, TORONTO.

TO THE TRUE AND STEADFAST FRIEND THE COURTEOUS EMBODIMENT OF THE HIGHEST TYPE OF CANADIAN GENTLEMAN SENATOR MACDONALD OF BRITISH COLUMBIA THIS VOLUME IS GRATEFULLY DEDICATED. Mr. Morgan's Previous Works and Publications. [Mr. Morgan is a native of Canada ; was educated at Morrin College, Quebec ; entered the Canadian public service, 1853 ; was called to the Bar (Quebec and Ontario), 1873 ; is a corresponding member of the Historical 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 Antiquaries of Denmark, and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Colonial Institute of England.] 1. "Tour of H. R. H. the Prince of Wales through Canada and the United States" (Quebec, 1860). 2. "Sketches of Celebrated Canadians and persons connected with Canada" (Quebec, 1862). 3. "Buchanan on the Industrial Politics of America" (Montreal, 1864). 4. " Speeches and Addresses of Hon. Thomas D'Arcy McGee in favour of British American Union,'' edited (London, 1865). 5. " The place British Americans have won in History'' — a Lecture (Ottawa, 1865). 6. "The Bibliotheca Canadensis; or, A Manual of Canadian Litera- ture" (Ottawa, 1867). 7. "The Canadian Legal Directory : A Guide to the Bench and Bar of the Dominion " (Toronto, 1878). In 1862 Mr. Morgan established "The Canadian Parliamentary Com- panion," which he edited and published, annually, up to 1876 ; and, in 1878, he established "The Dominion Annual Register and Review," which he likewise edited and published, annually, up to 1887. " More general contributions to history are the works of the Abbe" Faillon, of Mr. Parkman, of Dr. Scadding, of the Abbd Laverdiere, of Sir J. M. Le Moine, of Judge Hali- burton, of Mr. Fennings Taylor, of Dr. Miles, of the Abbe" Casgrain, of Col. Gray, of Mr. Louis Turcotte, of Mr. Charles Lindsey, of Dr. George Stewart, and of Mr. H. J. Morgan. We might add very largely to this list, which serves rather to show the variety of ways in which historical 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 than the last-mentioned. Hardly a day passes, indeed, in which we, as journalists, 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 reviewing in these columns, will prove of exceeding 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 be disappointed, 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 "Legal Directory," and his "Parliamentary Companion," are also contributions to history of superior interest and value. The two former have won deserved praise on both sides of the Atlantic, especially in the great English reviews, and we bespeak for the new edition of them, which is now in preparation, a reception even more favourable, in proportion to Canada's greater and growing importance." — Montreal Gazette. PREFACE. A LTHOXJGH the scope and object of The Canadian Men and Women of the Time are sufficiently indicated on its title-page, a further word or two from the Editor may not be without interest to the reader. Commencing with the Editor's " Sketches of Celebrated Canadians," published in 1862, there have appeared from the native press, at various times, many works and publications of a similar character. The present 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 of the world. That the number of the latter is very considerable no person can doubt who examines these pages. Canadians have earned and are still earning distinction for themselves and their country in every clime and, indeed, under every form of government. In carrying out his design the Editor has tried to adhere to the arrangement adopted in the English " Men and Women of 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 certain of the sketches the recorded or original 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 the 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 op the Time a permanent institution in the land, a new edition, thoroughly revised, appearing every three years. Suggestions for new names, corrections and additional information are respectfully invited. The Editor feels himself under a great weight of obligation to many gentlemen throughout the country for valuable assistance rendered him in his present task. To one and all he here tenders the expression of his most grateful acknowledgments. 483 Bank Street, Ottawa, February 28, 1898.

CANADIAN MEN AND WOMEN OF THE TIME. ABERDEEN, His Excellency the Bight Honourable Sir JOHN CAMP- BELL HAMILTON GORDON, Earl of, Viscount Formartine, Baron Had- do, Methlick, Tarves and Kellie, in the Peerage of Scot. , and Viscount Gordon of Aberdeen in that of the United Kin gdom, and a Baronet of Nova Scotia, was b. in Edinburgh, Scot., Aug. 3, 1847. He received his education at St. Andrew's Univ. and at Univ. Coll., Oxford (B. A., 1871; M.A., 1877). While still at coll., he succeeded to the peerage, by the death of his elder bro. , the sixth Earl, who was lost at sea, Jan. 27, 1870. His Excellency is the Hon. Col. of the Aberdeenshire Artil- lery Volunteers ; a Brigadier-Genl. of the Koyal Co. of Scottish Archers; Presdt of the Self-Help Emigration Soc. ; Hon. Presdt. of the Boys' Brigade in Gt. Brit., and also in Can. He is a Fellow of the Royal Soc. of Antiquaries, and an LL. D. of the Univs. of Aberdeen and St. Andrew's ; he has also received the hon. degree of LL.D. from Queen's, McGill, Toronto and Ottawa Univs., and that of D.C.L. from the Univ. of Bishop's Coll., Lennoxville. In 1885 Lord Aberdeen received the freedom of the city of Edinburgh, and also that of the city of Aber- deen. In 1895 he was created a Knight Grand Cross of the Most Dis- tinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. In the same year he was made a Chief of the Blackfeet Indians ; and in 1896 he was adop- ted into the Seneca Tribe of Six Nation Indians, and made a Chief of the same. The Earl of A. entered the Ho. of Lords in 1872 as a Con., but in the session of 1876 he disa- greed with some of the principal measures of his party, and when, two yrs. later, the Earls of Derby and Carnarvon resigned their offices, Lord A. heartily supported them in the step they had taken. In 1880 he was apptd. Lord-Lieut, of Aber- deenshire. In the following year he was called to the dignity of Lord High Commr. to the Genl. Assembly of the Ch. of Scot., an office to which he was reapptd. five yrs. in succession. In 1875 he was a mem., and subsequently he became Chair- man of the Royal Comn. apptd. to inquire into the subject of Railway Accidents. During 1877-78 he served on the Comte. of the Ho. of Lords on Intemperance, and on several other Special Committees of the Ho. He was Chairman of the Royal Comn. on Loss of Life at Sea in 1885. His Lordship "had now become known," says one of his biog- raphers, "as a mem. of the Lib. party, and as one frequently taking part in the debates in the Ho. of Lords. In 1886 Mr. Gladstone apptd. him Viceroy of Irel. , and as such he won well-deserved popular- ity. When leaving Dublin, on the completion of his term of office, the manifestations of regret over his ABERDEEN. departure were most marked. Noth- ing like the demonstration then made by the people had been seen there since the leave-taking of Earl Fitzwilliam in 1795." In 1887 Lord A., accompanied by Lady Aberdeen, made a tour, in the course of which he visited India, Ceylon, Australia, New Zealand, and the U. S. Later, in 1890, he took up his residence in Can. for a few months, and again returned to this country in 1891. On these occasions he made himself acquainted with the wonderful nat- ural resources of B. C. , and as one result of his observations invested largely in lands in that Province. On one portion of his new estate in the Okanagan Dist. he has since maintained a ranche for stock-breed- ing purposes ; on another a thriving and extensive fruit-farm, together with a forty-acre hop-yard. His appt. as Gov. -Genl, of Can. took place in 1893. His Excellency ar- rived at Quebec by the Allan steamer Sardinian, on Sunday, Sept. 17, and was given a hearty welcome by all classes of the population. On the following day he was sworn into office by Sir Henry Strong, Chief Justice of Can. Since then he has traversed the entire Dom. in his official capacity. While of course making Ottawa their headquarters and principal place of abode, Lord and Lady A. have since their arrival in Can. contrived to reside for a portion of each year in one of the several provinces of the Dom., 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 Dom. 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 Govt, for the Dom. was entrusted to the Hon. (now Sir) Wilfrid Laurier, theretofore leader of the Lib. Opposition in the Ho. of Commons, who acquitted himself of the task to the entire satisfaction of the Gov. -Genl. As one result of the change of administration, Can. has committed herself to a fiscal policy, which for the first time embraces preferential trade arrangements with the Mother Country. Early in 1897, as the result of a public appeal made by Lord A. as Gov. -Genl., the sum of about $200,000 was subscribed by the people of Can. in aid of Her Majesty's famine-stricken subjects in India. The Earl of A. m. Nov. 7, 1877, the Hon. Ishbel Maria Mar- joribanks, younger dau. of the first Lord Tweedmouth. This lady, who has been well described as " a noble woman, possessing rare executive ability, great capacity for work, and the broadestf sympathies," was, be- fore coming to Can., the Presdt. of several Women's Assns. in Gt. Brit. , including the Scottish Mothers' Union, the Women's Local Govt. Soc. , and the Women's Liberal Fed- eration of Eng. and of Scot., a position which Her Excellency re- signed on coming to Can., owing to the strictly non-political character of the Gov.-Genl.'s functions. While at Dublin Castle in 1886, Lady A. organized the Irish Industries Assn. , its object being to develop home industries among the poorer people. In order to strengthen the work of the Assn., it was decided to have a display of Irish industries at the World's Fair, Chicago, and this dis- play was carried out under Lady A. 's supervision, Her Ladyship crossing the ocean for that purpose. On leav- ing Irel. on that occasion, she re- ceived the thanks of the Queenstown Municipal Bd., and of numerous other public bodies in Irel., irre- spective of political parties and relig- ious creeds (including a represen- tative meeting of citizens of Dublin, convened by the Lord Mayor), for her own and her husband's endeav- ours to promote cottage industries among the poorer classes. She also received the freedom of the city of Limerick. At an earlier period she founded the Onward and Upward ABERDEEN. Assn., a league possessing many thousand members and associates drawn from all classes of Scottish women, the object being a more sisterly interest in one another among women in every station of life, and especially among mistresses and their female servants. In Can. Lady A. has likewise brought her- self closely in touch with the people, and in a variety of ways has materially assisted her husband in his work of national unification and development. Chief among her many beneficent undertakings is the National Council of Women of Can. , of which she is the first Presdt. This body, whose object is to pro- mote greater unity of thought, sym- pathy and purpose among the women of Can., by binding all Women's Assns. together in a federation pledged to " further the applica- tion of the Golden Rule to society, custom and law," held its first meet- ing in Ottawa in May, 1894, and promises to become a permanent in- stitution in the land. At the meeting held in Toronto, 1895, the Council re- corded ' ' its grateful appreciation of the zeal, the unfailing tact, the administrative ability, and devotion to the cause of humanity by which Her Excellency the Countess of Aberdeen has endeared herself to the hearts of the women of the Dominion. " Another organization in which Lord and Lady A. take the deepest interest, and which was founded by Her Excellency, is the Aberdeen Assn., for sending out literature to settlers in the isolated districts of Can. , who are unable to procure reading for themselves. In commemoration of the Queen's Dia- mond Jubilee, Lady A. now desires to found another institution, the "Victorian Order of Nurses," in sympathy with the movement in Gt. Brit, 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 estimated at one million dollars will be required. The scheme has been warmly endorsed at public meetings held in all the principal cities of the Dom. , and will undoubt- edly become an accomplished fact in due course of time. Not the least of Her Excellency's gifts are those which have made her so widely known as a writer and speaker. She is the author of "Through Can- ada with a Kodak," a series of de- scriptive sketches of Can. Among her public addresses, " The Present Irish Literary Revival," and that on "The University and its Effect on the Woman," the latter delivered at the Eighteenth Quarterly Con- vocation of the Univ. of Chicago, Apl. , 1897, are the most recent. In acknowledgment of her public services, Her Excellency in 1897 re- ceived from Queen's Univ., Kingston, the honorary degree of LL.D. In the U. S. she has been elected Hon. Presdt. of the Intern. Women's Health Protective League ; and she is also Presdt. of the Intern. Council of Women. Lady Matjorie Adeline Gordon, only surviving dau. of the Earl and Countess of A., has dis- played uncommon literary ability in the columns of Wee Willie Winlcie, a periodical for the young, of which she has been the editress. — Govern- ment House, Ottatva; Haddo House, Aberdeenshire, Scot.; Tarland, Ab- oyne, Aberdeenshire; Brooks's Club, London, Eng. "Lord Aberdeen has succeeded in unusual measure in winning the respect and esteem of all classes. At every public appearance he has shown natural tact and sense which have called forth the unstinted praise of all who have heard him." — Globe. " Everywhere throughout the Dom. he has been loyally received as the representa- tive of Her Majesty, and everywhere he has won favour by the urbane manner in which he displays his deep interest in all that per- tains to Canada." — Mail and Empire. ' ' Rideau Hall has seen fair mistresses who have filled well their high office in social obligations and gracious courtesies, but none have come so closely in touch with the people as Her Excellency has done. By travel through our broad-stretching land, by sojourn in its cities, by gathering its women together and taking counsel con- cerning their needs, by cordial recognition 4 ABBOTT. of all who are working for national progress, by the little personal word of encourage- ment to the struggler or the troubled, by the kindly act that tells of the kindlier thought, by all that tact can suggest and quick sympathy offer — the Countess of Aberdeen has reached to the very heart of Canadian womanhood, and stands to-day one with us in our needs, our strivings and our fulfilinents." — Faith Fenton, in Home Journal. ABBOTT, Harry Braithwaite, C.E., is the s. of the late Rev. Joseph Abbott, first Ang. incumbent of St. Andrews, Argenteuil, P.Q., by his wife Harriet Elizabeth, dau. of the Rev. Richard Bradford, first rector of Chatham, P. Q. B. at Abbots- ford, P.Q., Juno 14, 1829, he was ed. at the High Sch., Montreal, and at McGill Univ., and commenced his professional career on the en- gineering staff of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic (now the G. T.) Ry. On the completion of the line he was apptd. resident engr. of one of the divisions. This position he resigned, 1857, to take a contract with the late C. Freer, on the G. T. Ry., Later, he and Mr. F. leased the Riviere du Loup section of the G. T. , which they opened up, and oper- ated with success for a year. They also operated the Carillon and Grenville Ry. until its purchase by the Ottawa River Navig. Co. In 1864 Mr. A. assumed the control and filled the position of Chief Engr. of the Brockville and Ottawa Ry. , and in 1872 he built the Carleton Placeand Ottawa brauch of the Can. Central Ry. He was for some time Presdt. and Managing Dir. of the former road, and Managing Dir. of the latter. In 1876 he organized the Eastern Extension Ry. Co. , and was apptd. Chief Engr. and Mangr. of Construction of the same. His connection with the Can. Pac. Ry. dates from 1882, in which year he became Mangr. of Construction of the Sault Ste. Marie branch. After completing this work he was chosen Mangr. of Construction of the main line west from Sudbury. When finished, May, 1885, he built an ad- ditional 75 miles of track. He was still in charge of this div. at the outbreak of the Rebellion in the N. W. T., and all the arrangements for the prompt conveyance of the troops sent from the East for the sup- pression of the Rebellion were made and carried out by him. After having served as Supervising Engr., Mr. A. was apptd., in 1886, Genl. Supt. of the Can. Pacific Ry. in B. C. From this position he retired, Mch., 1S97, at the same time declining appt. as adviser to the Bd. of Management in Montreal. He was admitted a mem. of the Soc. of C. E., 1887, and has been a mem. of the Council of that body. During the ' ' Trent " affair, he assisted in raising the 11th Batt. V. M. , Argenteuil Rangers, and served under the command of his bro., the late Sir J. J. C. Abbott, for a considerable period, finally re- tiring with the rank of Major. Mr. A. unsuccessfully contested Brock- ville in the Con. interest at the Dom. g. e. 1872, and East Algoma, for the Legislature, 1 886. He is a mem. of the Ch. of Eng. He m. Margt. Amelia, dau. of the late Mr. Justice Sicotte, and widow of C. Freer, C.E. — Vancouver, B. G. ; Vancouver Club. ABBOTT, Henry, Q.C., is the 3rd s. of the late Hon. Sir J. J. C. Ab- bott, K.C.M.G., who succeeded Sir John A. Macdonald as Prime Minis- ter of Can. , by his wife Mary, dau. of the late Very Rev. J. Bethune, D.D., Dean of Montreal. B. in Montreal, Oct. 5, 1857, he was ed. at the High Sch. in his native city, at Bishop's Coll. Sch., Lennoxville, and at Trinity Coll. Sch., Port Hope. He graduated B.C. L, at McGill Univ., 1878 ; was called to the bar, Jan., 1879, and entered into partner- ship with his father, who was con- sidered the ablest commercial law- yer in Can. Mr. A. was created a Q.C. by the Marquis of Lansdowne, 1887, and was named Prof, of Com- mercial Law in McGill Univ. (a chair formerly occupied by his father), 1890. He holds a high position at the bar, his specialty being banking, railway and corporation law, and has frequently appeared before the Privy Council in Eng. At present, ADAM. and for some yrs. he has been a mem. of the firm of Abbotts, Camp- bell St, Meredith. He is the author of a " Treatise on the Railway Law of Can." (Mont., 1896). As a young man he served in the V. M. , being for some yrs. an officer in the Victoria Rifles, Montreal. He declined an appt. to the Bench, 1895. In 1897 he was elected Rear Commodore of the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Ulub. In religious faith he is a mem. of the Ch. of Eng. ; politically, he is a Con., and he unsuccessfully ran in that interest for Argenteuil at the Dom. g. e. 1896 ( Vote — Christie, 1,125; Abbott, 1,050). He m. 1st, May, 1882, Miss Jane Ratcliffe Lid- dell (she d. 1883), and 2nd, 1897, Bertha Pillans, 3rd dau. of the late P. S. Stevenson, Montreal.— 35 Tup- per St. , Montreal ; St. James's Club, do. ADAM, Graeme Mercer, author and editor, was b. 1839, at Loanhead, Midlothian, Scot., and ed. at Edin. His father, who d. 1841, was factor on the estates of Graeme Mercer, of Mavisbank and Gorthy, after whom he was named. His mother was one of the Wisharts of Montrose, and is a lineal descendant of Geo. Wishart, the Scottish martyr. Mr. A. may almost be said to have been cradled among books, for from early youth he was engaged in the commerce of literature, 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 Wm. Blackwood & Sons, the well- known Edinburgh publishers, young A. was in 1858 led to accept the management of the book-house of Mr. (now Rev. Dr.) Cunningham Geikie, who has since achieved dis- tinction as a religious writer in Eng. , and in that year came to Toronto to enter upon his engagement. Two yrs. afterwards he succeeded to Mr. Geikie's business, in connection with a gentleman then engaged in educational work, with whom he formed a partnership under the firm name of Rollo & Adam. This part- nership was dissolved, 1866, and in the following year, a new one was formed under the style of Adam, Stevenson & Co. , which for 10 yrs. was favourably known to the native reading public, and especially to the book-selling community of the Dom. , whose trade the operations of the firm did much to elevate and de- velop. During this period Mr. A. threw himself actively into the work of a publisher and wholesale book- seller and importer — the many pub- lications with the imprimatur of the house attesting the spirit and enter- prise which characterized the work of the firm and the impetus given to the higher reading tastes of the people. In 1876 Mr. A. , in alliance with the late John Lovell, the Mont- real publisher, opened a publishing house in N. Y. , as an outlet for the literature manufactured by mems. of Mr. Lovell's family at ■ Rouse's Point, N. Y. ; but as the experiment was not maintained he returned to Toronto in the spring of 1878. Mr. A. 's brief career as a N.Y . publisher was not, however, barren of results, for during the year in which his firm did business in that city, over 60 works were issued bearing the im- print of the house. The N.Y. enter- prise, moreover, gave life to a house founded by one of Mr. A. 's partners, in continuation of the firm's projects, which subsequently developed into the mammoth publishing concern known as the U. S. Book Co. With Mr. A.'s return to Toronto ends his career as a publisher. At this date his literary life may be said profes- sionally to have begun, though as far back as 1861, when publishing the British Am. Mag., we find that he contributed reviews of books to that periodical. From 1869 to 1872 he edited and, indeed, wrote almost the whole of each number of a trade quarterly, the Canada Bookseller, issued by his firm as an organ of the book and publishing houses of Can. In 1872, with the co-operation of Prof. Goldwin Smith and other friends of Can. literature, he found- ed the Canadian Monthly, and his connection with that national mag. ADAM. was closely maintained up to the period of his leaving for N.Y. In the spring of 1879 Mr. A. resumed his connection with the publication, and became its sole ed. , a position he retained until its decease, 1883. In 1879, also, Mr. A. launched the first number of the Can. Educational Monthly, which, under his editor- ship, lasting for over 5 yrs. , won for itself a high place in the periodical literature of Can. , and was, at the time, ranked as one of the ablest professional mags, of the continent. Mr. A. was also for several yrs. offiee-ed. and business manager of The Bystander, and in connection with this duty acted as secy, and literary assist, to Goldwin Smith. He was also of the staff of writers on the Week, when the latter gentle man had relations with it; was like- wise a contributor to the Toronto Nation, the Globe, the Mail, and other journals of the Ont. capital ; and had much to do with almost all the literary undertakings which orig- inated in Toronto between the 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 Am. publishing houses, in contributing articles, revising manuscripts, and putting works through the press. His interest in literature has ever been an active one, and many native literary ventures owe something to the aid of his friendly pen. Mr. A. 's services to education in Can. have not been confined to journalistic and mag. work. In 1883 he edited a series of school reading books, in 5 volumes, known as the ' ' Royal Canadian Readers"; two yrs. later he also edited for Univ. use, a schol- arly edition of Macaulay's " Essay on Warren Hastings," and in con- junction with J. W. Connor, B.A., he published the "Canadian High School Word Book," a manual of orthoepy, synonymy and derivation. Another text-book which at this period came chiefly from his pen, jn association with W. J. Robertson. M.A., was his "School History of England and Canada," an historical precis for schs. which has had a sale of nearly 250,000 copies. The work was authorized for use in all the sehs. of Ont. as well as in many of the educational institutions of other provinces. In HS85 he published "The Canadian North- West : its History and its Troubles," a risumi of the annals of Man. and the Terri- tories from the early fur-trade period, with the narrative of the half-breed imeute in the Selkirk Settlement, and the two Riel rebellions. In 1886, in conjunction with Miss A. E. Wetherald, he wrote an histori- cal romance entitled " An Algon- quin Maiden," which passed through three separate editions. Of other works which came from Mr. A.'spen at this period, the chief is an "Out- line History of Canadian Literature," published as an addendum to Dr. Withrow's Can. History. This was followed by a volume summarizing the work in Equatorial Africa of Hy. M. Stanley, by a series of books of a topographical and descriptive character on Can. , the more notable of which is an interesting volume, attractively embellished, entitled "Illustrated 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-book from Halifax to Vancouver, and by a similar though more local work entitled " Picturesque Muskoka." In 1884 Mr. A. was a contributor to " Picturesque Canada," edited by Principal Grant, and recently he has supervised a reissue of this work for an Am. publisher. In 1891 appeared an elaborate pictorial quarto volume, issued for the To- ronto Mail Printing Co. , on " Toronto Old and New," a work designed as a memorial of the 100th Anniversary of the founding of U. C. and its capital. In the same year was pub- lished Mr. A . 's revision of the late Edmund Collins's " Life of Sir John A. Macdonald," brought down to Jthe lamented Pan, stafrfta m a.n 'a rWt. h AD AMI. with an introduction, and the nar- rative of Sir John's later career. The editing of a " Hand-Book on Commercial Union,' 1 preceded by an introduction by Goldwin Smith ; and the issue of a volume, in con- junction with Principal Dickson, M.A., embodying the "History of Upper Canada College,' 1 completes Mr. A.'s literary work up to the period of his second removal to N.Y. The occasion was taken advantage of by Can. literary men and pub- lishers to present Mr. A. with an address and purse, in recognition of his long and important services to Can. letters, and of regret at his departure from the country. For the next 4 yrs. Mr. A. was a resi- dent of N.Y., and identified with its publishing and literary interests. His chief connection there was with the U. S. Book Co., as reader and literary adviser for the house, as well as reader for a number of other publishing firms, native and foreign. His intimate knowledge of the book world, both Am. and Eng., brought him not only into relations with the chief publishers, but opened up fields for his pen, in compilations, cyclo- paedias, reference books, etc. , as well as in magazines and critical journals as reviewer, memoir writer, and gen- eral contributor. His familiarity with Can. affairs was also of value to him in utilizing his pen on Can. articles, in such enterprises as John- son's ' ' Universal Cyclopaedia," in the Americanized ' ' Encyclopaedia Bri- tannica," in the Am. issue of " Pic- turesque Canada," in the English " Men of the Time," and in review work for the N.Y. Nation and other critical and literary journals. Be- sides this varied labour Mr. A. was able to do considerable work as an author. His most successful books in the U. S. have been a work on Athletics, being an exposition of the strong man "Sandow's System of Physical Training," with a narrative of his career ; an illustrated work of a descriptive and pictorial char- acter, entitled " Scenic America, from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico": an edition of Justin McCarthy's "History of Our Own Times," with an introduction and supplementary chapters dealing with the later annals of Eng., from 1880 to 1894, and a work entitled "The Standard Young People's History of the United States," by Edward S. Ellis, M.A., with introduction, illustrative notes, and lists of authorities, from Mr. A.'s pen, as genl. ed. Other forthcoming works projected by Mr. A. are a " Cyclopaedia of British and American Authors," and an "Encyclopaedia of Canadian Affairs." Some outline sketches, as material for the former of these, have just appeared in the section, "Literature and Belles-Lettres," in the "List of Books for Women and their Clubs," issued by George lies for the Am. Library Assn. In May, 1896, Mr. A. removed to Chicago to become ed. of Self-Culttire, a new mag. He is also Secy, of the Home Univ. League established there. Mr. A. m. 1863, Jane Beazley, 2nd dau. of the late John Gibson, for many yrs. ed. of the Literary Garland (she d. 1884), and 2nd, 1891, Frances Isabel, 4th dau. of the late Fredk. Brown, of Rochdale. Mr. A. served Can. in the militia for 12 yrs., and is a graduate and 1st class cert, holder of the M. S. of Toronto. He was for many yrs. a Capt. in the Queen's Own Rifles, Toronto, and commanded a co. of that corps at the fight at Ridgeway, 1866. After the engage- ment the co. presented him with an address and sword.

In 1851 he was offered the Reform nomination in connection with the representation of his native Co. in the Legislature, but declined. He accepted it, how- ever, at the g. e. 1854, and was elected. His first vote was recorded against the Hincks-Morin Adminis- tration, thereby helping to secure its downfall. He voted for the secularization of the clergy reserves, and his voice was frequently heard in support of measures providing for public improvements. He sat in the Assembly until IHfil. when he was defeated by the late Hon. J. H. Cameron, the leader of the bar in U. C. In the following year, he was elected to the Leg.

Re- turning to Can. he was apptd. to the staff of Prince of Wales Coll., Charlottetown, but determining to thoroughly qualify himself in Eng., as well as in the classics, modern languages and philology, he entered the Johns-Hopkins Univ., Balti- more, and took a post-graduate course of four yrs. In 1881 he won a Fellowship in Greek, which he held for two years, finally gradu- ating, 1 883, as Ph. D. A year at the Univ. of Berlin followed, and in 1884 he was selected to fill the chair of Eng.

The wide reputation which he ob- tained as a teacher and scholar brought him under the notice of the Ont. educational authorities, and led to his appt., Feb., 1889, to the Professorship of Eng. in Univ.

ALLAN, Alexander Macdonald, fruit grower, exporter, and experimenter in fruits, is the s. of the late Rev. Danl. Allan (Presb. ), and was b. on his father's farm, "Brier Bank," North Easthope, near Stratford, Ont., July 11, 1844. Ed. primarily at the local public sch. , and at Stratford High Sch., he afterwards went to Toronto for a few years under private tuition. He had, however, acquired such a taste for rural pursuits that further study became irksome to him. He there- fore returned to the farm, which he managed for some yrs. Early in life he had also imbibed a strong taste for horticulture, and as a boy was given full charge 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 periodical and newspaper press, his letters and articles, under various noms-de- plume, appearing in the Canada Farmer, the Farmer's A dvocate, the Weekly Globe, the Horticulturist, and the Country Gentleman. About this time he became ed. and prop, of the Huron Signal, and in this jour- nal gave special prominence to the subjects uppermost in his mind. He was an early dir. of the Ont. Fruit Growers Assn. , and its Presdt. for some yrs. Gradually becom- ing recognized as the leading expert in the judging, not only of Can., but ALLAN 13 of Am. and European fruits, his ser- vices have been sought for by the authorities at all the leading fairs and exhibitions upon this Continent, where he usually acts alone in the performance of his duties. In 1886 he was apptd. a Commr. on Fruits on behalf of Can. , at the Ind. and Col. Exhn , London, Eng. On this occasion he spent nearly 6 months in the world's metropolis, and con- ducted the most successful fruit ex- hibitions which have ever been held there. It is believed that these dis- plays have done more to advertise Can. favourably in Europe than prob- ably any other agency. While in Brit, he examined all fruits grown there, and selected for propagation those he considered worthy. Be- sides conducting the exhibitions at London, and the International at Edinburgh, held in that year, he handled over 100,000 barrels of apples in Brit, and continental mar- kets for Can. shippers. He was one of the first, and the largest shipper of apples to the Brit, markets, and made 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 organized 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. for 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 be 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 Farmers' In- stitutes, his subject having special reference to horticulture or such others as local institutes may desire to be made, 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 pushed for advancement, so far as office is concerned. He has never entered the- political or muni- cipal field, although frequently re- quested to do so. When in Toronto pursuing his 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 connected himself with any volun- teer corps. Some yrs. ago he made a thorough tour of the N. W. T. and B. C, spending the whole of one summer and more there, for the pur- pose of acquainting himself with the capabilities 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- portant work for growers in that Province. Mr. A. m.

Ed. in his native place, he came to Can. in his 17th year, and in 1846 joined his bro., the late Sir Hugh Allan, and the late Wm.

The firm afterwards established <* line of fast-sailing packets to ac- commodate the passenger and freight traffic between Can. and the United Kingdom. In 1853 they began to 14 ALLAN. add steamships to their fleet of vessels, and eventually they founded the Montreal Ocean Steamship Co., which now comprises many branches, and includes among its vessels some of the swiftest and most sea-worthy steamers engaged in the Atlantic trade. On the death of Sir Hugh A. , 1 8S2, Mr. Andrew A. succeeded him in the Presidency of the Co., and likewise as Presdt. of the Mer- chants' Bank, and of the Montreal Tel. Co. These positions he still fills, together with many others hav- ing connection with commercial and financial interests. He was for some- yrs.

Loyalist. B. in York, now Toronto, Jan. 9, 1822, he was ed. at the U. C. Coll , and was called to the bar, 1846. While at Coll. he joined the volunteers, and served with the Bank rifle corps during the rebellion of 1837. Subsequently, before commencing the practice of his profession, he made not only the grand tour of Europe, but went out of what were then the beaten tracks of travel, undertaking the voyage of the Nile as far as the Nubian country. He also journeyed through Syria, the Holy Land and other parts of Asia Minor. Returning to Can., he entered public life, becoming an alderman in Toronto, a municipal beginning which cul- minated in his attaining the mayor's chair of his native town in 1855. Before this latter event, however, he had made a second journey to the other hemisphere, and in 1858 he was elected to represent York in the old Leg. Council, which position he held until Confederation. In 1867 he was called to the Senate by Royal proclamation. In the deliberations of that body he has always taken a prominent part. For many yrs. back he has held the chairmanship of the Committee on Banking and Commerce. He has ever manifested an interest in the mental and moral advance of his fellow-countrymen. He has held the office of Chancellor of Trinity Coll. for many yrs., he has been closely identified with the growth of the Ont.

His popu- lar novel, "In all Shades," is one of the fruits of his tropical experi- ences. He now began to contribute frequently to the magazines, and also to publish works on his own ac- count, and soon established a repu- tation as one of the most popular of scientific authors. He is considered one of the best writers of the evolu- tionary Bch. , and has ably contrib- uted to the exposition of the Dar- winian theory.

Miss Arthur. When only 1 1 yrs. old, she played in an amateur dramatic club in her native city, taking the part of Gam- ora in " The Honeymoon," and of Portia in ' ' The Merchant of Venice. " Three years afterwards she made her professional debut as the Prince of Wales, in Danl. E. Bandmann's presentation of "Richard III." After playing three consecutive seasons with Bandmann, Miss A. went to Eng. and Germany, where she studied violin music and drama- tic art. Her first success in N. Y. was made at the Union Square Theatre, in "The Black Masque." Mr. A. M. Palmer, recognizing her ability and promise of future great- ness, made her a mem. of his co. 32 ASCHER — ASHFORD. With him she first took the part of Jeanne in "A Broken Seat"; Letty Fletcher and Lady Windermere, in "Lady Windermere's Fan." But her greatest achievement was in " Mercedes," which Mr. Palmer produced for her in 1893. She terminated her engagement in Am. in Wilson Barrett's drama, ' ' Sister Mary," which she played with great pathos and power. It was at this time that Sir Augustus Harris made her an offer to go to London. She had other offers from the same quarter, none of which, however, she accepted. Sir Hy. Irving was more fortunate, and secured the services of the young Can. by ten- dering a, definite engagement on liberal terms for his London season and for his Am. tour. She made her London debut Feb. 1, 1895, and throughout well sustained the repu- tation she had brought with her. She played in roles next to Miss Terry, and likewise in some of that famous artist's former parts. Her rendering of Rosamond in the drama "A' Beckett" was pronounced a distinct triumph. In 1896 she accompanied Irving and Terry on their Am. tour, and at the time of writing (July, 1897), it is reported that she is to return to Am. as a "star." Miss A. has written some articles for the press on stage-land, which have attracted attention. She has likewise written some poetical pieces, one of which, "Mother's Precious," has been set to music by Miss Flora Arthur, her sister. — 41 Spring St., Hamilton, Out.

He is widely known as a writer for the mags, on subjects connected with Can. field sports and pastimes, and is regarded as the father of the modern game of Lacrosse in Can., since it was he who wrote the first book on the subject and made the first attempt to reduce the game to a set of rules. Having seen the game established as the national game of Can. , Dr. B. organized and captained the first Can. lacrosse team that visited Eng. This team went over in 1876, and commencing in Belfast played in most of the available towns of note in Irel., Scot, and Eng.

Govt., having in view the settlement in B. C. of 1,250 Crofter families from the Highlands and Islands of Scot. This offer, for some reason, the B. C. Govt, could not see its way to accept, and the scheme is now in abeyance. He published, in 1894, " The History of British Columbia, from its Earliest Discovery to the Present Time " (Toronto), a hand- some work, abounding in informa- tion and statistics respecting the Pacific Province, which has been recommended for use in the public schs., and in 1895, he founded The Mining Record (Victoria).

Ed. partly in Aberdeen, Scot., and part- ly at St. John's, P.Q., he early turned his attention to commerce. He enjoys the distinction of being the pioneer of Can. trade in Man. and the N.W.T., having been the first to arrive in Winnipeg for the purpose of disposing of goods of Can. manufacture. This was in 1867. He afterwards entered into a partnership with the late A. G. B. Bannatyne, and became an exten- sive dealer in peltries. During the rebellion of 1869, and previous to it, he took a prominent stand on behalf of the people of the country, and strove perseveringly and suc- cessfully to obtain representative govt, for them. He was the first steamboat and express agt. in Man. , and helped materially towards found- ing the institutions of the in- fant prairie capital. Mr. B. was apptd. Sergt-at-Arms to the Legisla- ture, Jan. 1878, and became Depty. Treas. of the province, Nov. , same year ; this position he resigned Sept. , 1884. He was comnr. for Man. to the Dom. Exhn. , 1879, and conducted the Man. exhibits through Ont., Quebec and the Maritime Provinces in that and in the following year. After this he was sent to Eng. as Genl. Immigration Agent for the Can. Pacific Ry. He was elected a F.S.S., 1884, and read a paper on Can., before the Soc. of Arts, 1886. He is the author of "Dot it Down," "The Creation of Manitoba," "A Story of the Saskatchewan," "A Practical Guide to Manitoba," "Ten Years in Winnipeg," and of a "His- tory of the North-West, " 3 vols.

Ed. at the Levis Model Sch., at the Coll. of St. Michael de Bellechasse, at the little Semy. of Quebec, and at Laval Univ. (B.A., and Prince of Wales' gold med., the first to take that prize, 1862), he commenced his theol. studies at the Grand Semy., of Quebec. About this time, the authorities of that institution had decided to establish a faculty of theol. in connection with Laval Univ. , and it was their desire that the mems. of such faculty should be educated at Rome. It was accordingly proposed that Mr. B., who had been selected for a chair in the proposed faculty, should proceed to the Eternal City to con- tinue and complete his theol. train- ing. He left Quebec, Sept., 1863. Mr. B. was absent 5 yrs , returning to Quebec, July, 1868. He followed the course of the Gregorian Univ. of the Roman Coll., including dog- matic and moral theol. , Sacred Scrip- tures, history of the ch. , canonic law, sacred oratory, and the Hebraic language. He received all the mi- nor and major orders in Rome, and was ordained to the priesthood in the Major Basilica of Latran, June 10, 1865, by H. E. Card. Vicar Pa- trizi. In the following year, he ob- tained the degree of Doctor in Theol. Having gained permission to remain some time longer in Rome for the purpose of making a special study of ecclesiastical history and oriental languages : the Hebrew, the Chal- dean, the Syriac and the Arabic, Dr. B. gave a good portion of the years 1866-67 to this work. After the close of the Roman festival in connection with the centenary of the death of St. Peter and the canoniza- tion of the saints, 1867, he went to Innsbruck, in the Austrian Tyrol. During the summer holidays of the preceding yrs. , he had visited Italy, Savoy, Switzerland, Prussia, Bel- gium, and chiefly France, but the summer of 1867 was spent in study- ing the German language. In Sept. of the same year, he started for 66 BEIQUE. Palestine, in order to get thoroughly acquainted, as he had long desired, with certain biblical and historical facts. He spent more than five mths. in this tour, passing through Austria, Hungary, Boumania, Servia, Bulgaria, the two Turkeys, the is- lands of Tenedos, Lesbos, Bhodes and Cyprus, Lebanon and Anti- Leb- anon, Phoenicia, Palestine, Egypt and Sicily. Returning to Inns- bruck, he continued his studies at the Catholic Univ., under the cele- brated Profs. Wenig, Jungmann, Hurter, Kobler, and Nilles. Dr. B. left the Tyrol on July 2, 1868, crossed France and Eng. , and arrived at Quebec in due course. He brought with him several Egyptian mum- mies, with other arehaeol. curiosi- ties for the museum of Laval Univ. Apptd. Prof, of Dogmatic Theol. and Ecclesiastical History in Laval, he entered on his duties forthwith. He taught from 1868 until 1884, having also, during the last 7 or 8 yrs., charge of the pupils of the Univ. , or of those of the Little or Grand Semy. He was also prefect of studies of the little Semy. During the winter months, for some yrs. , he gave nu- merous public lectures at the Univ. on controversial and interesting ques- tions in ch. history. These lectures were published in book form, with the title : " La primaute et l'Inf ailli- bilite^ des Souverains Pontifes." In 1874, he published a second work, entitled, ' ' La Sainte Ecriture et la Regie de Foi," which was translated into Eng., and printed in London. In the same year (1874), an eulogy of St. Thomas Aquinas was pub- lished. In 1875, he published an- other work, entitled, "Le Culte Catholique." In 1884, he accom- panied to Rome the Archbp. of Quebec, who was going there to sustain the rights of Laval Univ. , and the division of the diocese of Three Rivers, before the Holy See. On his return, he was chosen by the Cath- olic comte. of the Council of Public Instruction to fill the principalship of Laval Normal Sch., and was apptd, thereto by the Lt.-Gov. in I council, Jan. 22, 1885. In 1886, he published a small "Aide-Me^noire," or "Chronologie de l'Histoire du Canada," designed, as indicated by its name, to assist the memory of pupils and facilitate their prepara- tions in the examinations on the history of Can. Dr. B. remained at the Normal Sch. up to Oct. 1, 1888, when he was apptd. to the Bishopric of Chicoutimi. He was consecrated in the Basilica, Quebec, H. E. Card. Taschereau officiating, with Bps. Lafleche and Langevin assisting. During his stay at Chicoutimi, Mgr. B. caused the new cathedral to T>e completed, the semy. to be enlarged, and to secure a fitting habitation for the head of the diocese. On Dec. 22, 1891, he was apptd. Coadjutor to Card. Taschereau, with the title of Archbp. of Cyrene, and left Chi- coutimi for Quebec. Since Dec. 3, 1894, he also holds the administra- tion of the archdiocese of Quebec, which the Card, has committed to him.

B. in Edinburgh, Scot., Mch. 3, 1847, he received his early educa- tion there. Later he went to Lon- don where he entered the Univ., but left, owing toyill-health, and ac- companied his father to Can., 1870. The family took up their residence in Brantford, Ont. , where they re- mained for several yrs. When quite a child, Mr. B. was told by his father of an augomaton-speak- ing machine which he had seen. The boy was so interested that he determined to attempt the construc- tion of such an apparatus himself, and he thereupon invented a speak- ing machine, built it and made it articulate one or two simple words. In 1871 he went to Boston at the invitation of the Sch. Bd. there, to carry on a series of experiments with his father's system of visible speech. In 1881 he removed to Washington. Bell's first public lec- ture on the telephone was delivered before the Soc. of Arts, at Boston, 1876, and the first transmission of speech over a real line was effected in the same year at Brantford. Bell hastened to patent his invention, and in the same year exhibited it at the Phila. Cent.Exbn. , where a mem- orable display of its speaking powers was made before Sir W. Thomson (now Lord Kelvin), the Emperor of Brazil, and others. Since then, as the result of further investigations, he has invented the Photophone (or Radiophone), and, in conjunction with his cousin, C. A. Bell, the Graphophone. More recently he has been engaged in an investigation of the laws of flight. His chief work, however, is now devoted to the education of the deaf.

He is Can. correspondent of the Iron and Coal Trades Review, the Engineering Rev. and other Brit, technical journals, and has also edited for a number of yrs. the journals of the Can. Mining Assn. of Quebec and of the Mining Soc. of N. S. , of both of which organ- izations he is the Secy. In 1889 Mr. B. was instrumental in bringing to Can. the Am. Inst, of 'Mining Engineers, the strongest organiza- tion of mining men in the world. A series of meetings were held in Ottawa, and large parties were taken to the phosphate, asbestos, copper, nickel and other mining dists. of the country. On this occasion he was presented by the Ottawa citizens' Comte. with a silver service in recognition of his services. In 1890 he was apptd. by the Dom. Govt., in company with Dr. Selwyn, C.M.G., to take charge of the excursions made through the mining and in- dustrial centres of Can. of the Iron and Steel Inst, of Gt. Brit, and the Verein Deutcher Eisenheutenlenleute, and by them was presented with an illuminated address and a service of cutlery. In the same year, when the Mercier Mining Act threatened the vested interests of mineral land- owners in Quebec, he organized and, as its secy., carried to a successful issue the Genl. Mining Assn. of the Province. He was also instrument- al, 1892, in uniting the coal, gold and other mineral interests of N.S. into a similar organization, at the time of the agitation to repeal the increased royalty on coal. In 1894 he was presented with a handsome silver cabinet by the iron smelting cos. of Can. in acknowledgment of his services to the iron industry during the year. Originally a mem. of the Queen's Edinburgh Rifle Vol. Brigade, Mr. B. was one of the first to enroll in the 90th Batt. (Winni- peg) on its formation. In the fall of 1884 he took service under the late Lt.-Col. Kennedy, then comdg. the regt. , for service in the Nile ex- pedition for the relief of Gordon ( Egyptian medal and Khedive's star).

(M.D., CM., 1878), at McGill Univ. He received the hon. degree of LL.D. from Queen's Univ., Kings- ton, 1883. He joined the Can. Geol. Survey, Mch., 1857, and now holds the position of an Asst. Dir. on the Survey. He studied chemistry under Dr. T. Sterry Hunt, Sir Lyon Playfair, Dr. Crum Brown and others, and was Prof, of Chemistry and Natural Sciences in Queen's Univ., 1863, and lectured there for 5 sessions. Dr.B. was med. officer, naturalist and geologist on the Neptvne, Hudson's Bay expedition, 1884, and held the same offices on the Alert, do do, 1885, and on the Diana, 1897. He was elected a mem. of the Am. Inst, of Mining Engrs., 1861; a F.G.S., 1862; a F.C.S., 1866, and was apptd. a Fellow of the Royal Soc. of Can., by the Marquis of Lome, 1881. In 1888-89 he was one of the Comnrs. apptd. by the Ont. Govt, to report on the mineral resources of that pro- vince. During the .39 yrs. of Dr. B. 's connection with the Geol. Survey of Can. he has had opportunities of making more extensive surveys and explorations throughout the Dom. than has fallen to the lot of any other man. These include the provinces of Quebec, Ont. and Mani- toba, the N.W.T. , the Mackenzie River region, the shores and country around Hudson Bay, the Labrador peninsula and part of Baffin Land. In 1895-96 he was in the territory s.e. of .lames Bay, where he found an immense region of good soil and timber, and surveyed a great river all the way from the height of land to James Bay. The main or west- ern branch of this stream had no recognized name, and that of " Bell River " has now been generally adopted for it. He is author of up- wards of 130 reports and papers, a list of which is given in the "Biblio. of the Royal Soc." A mem. of the Presb. Ch., he m. 1873, Agnes, dau. of Alex.

B. in Dumfries, Scot., Sept. 5, 1833, where he was also educated, he early acquired a trade and immigrated to Ont. From there he removed to N.Y. , where he remained until 1864. His bro. had meanwhile established the Bell organ factory at Guelph, and on re- turning to Can. he (William) took a share in the business, which he now controls as Presdt. of the Bell Or- gan Co. , so well known all over the world for the fine character of its instruments. Mr. B. in addition to his private business was connected for many yrs. with various other companies and organizations. He was V. -P. of the Manufacturers Life Assn. Co. , Presdt. of the Globe Sav- ings and Loan Co., and Presdt. of the Traders' Bank of Can., all of which he resigned after meeting with a painful accident, Feb., 1897. In religion, he is a Presb. He is also a Freemason. He m. 1861, Miss Isabella M. Christie. — Guelph, Ont. BELL-SMITH, Frederic Marlett, R. C. A., was b. in London, Eng., Sept. 26, 1846. He is the eld. s. of the late John Bell-Smith, an artist of repute, who after filling the posi- tion of secy-treas. and trustee of the Inst, of Fine Arts, London, came to Can., 1866. Here he founded and was the first Presdt. of the Soc. of Can. Artists, Montreal, 1867, which is supposed to have been the first n BELLEAtl — BELLEMARE. soc. composed exclusively of artists ever formed in Can. Of this soc. his s. was a, mem., though he did not enter on a professional career until the formation of the Royal Can. Acad., by the Marquis of Lome, 1880. For 7 yrs. he held the position of art dir. at Alma Coll. , St. Thomas, Ont., and teacher of drawing in the public schs. of Lon- don, Ont. ; but finding that these engrossed too much of his time, he removed to Toronto, 1888, and soon after decided to confine himself to painting. As a portrait 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 most widely known. In his treat- ment of the cloud-girt and mist- enshrouded peaks and glaciers of our Rocky Mts., he is considered to have a style particularly his own. The rapid advancement made by this artist during the past few yrs. has been 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 before accorded, we believe, to any artist from this side of 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, exhibited a picture at the Royal Acad., London, Eng. In 1891, he went to Paris and studied under Courtois, Blanc and Dupain. In religion, a Meth. , he is also a Freemason and a United Workman. He m. 1871, Annie Myra, dau. of Prof. S. W.

In the latter year he was called to the bar, but did not practise his profes- sion, having been apptd. Revenue Insp. for the 1st div. dist. of Montreal, at the same time devoting himself to public service duties up to July, 1893. At Confederation, 1867, he was promoted to the office of Dist. Insp. of Inland Revenue for the rev. dist. of Montreal, the larg- est and by far the most important in the Dom. He was elected twice as an alderman, to represent the St. Louis ward in the city council of Montreal. Mr. B. was one of the founders of La Soc. Hist, de Montreal, and has been the Presdt. of the St. Vincent de Paul Soc. of Montreal since 1860. He is a dir. of the Genl. Colonization and Repat- riation Soc. , P. Q.

Joseph Hya- cinthe, senator, is the s. of the late Michael H. Bellerose, merchant, Three Rivers, P. Q., by his wife, Genevieve Sophie Lemaitre de Lot- tinville. B. at Three Rivers, July 12, 1820, he attended Eng. and French schs. in his native city, and completed his education at the colls, of Nicolet and St. Hyacinthe. In his youth he gave 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. Dist. , with the rank of It. -col. 1862, and rendered efficient services at that time in enrolling new levies of men for defence. Retiring from business he gave him- self 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. Returned at the g. e. 1863, he con- tinued to represent the County from that time up to the accomplishment of Confederation, a measure which he, as a follower of Sir Geo. Cartier, warmly supported. At the g. e. under the new Constitution, 1867, he was returned, both to the Ho. of Commons and the Provl. As- sembly, and continued to sit con- currently in those bodies for some yrs. As Chairman of the Contingent Comte., Quebec, he was the means of effecting large savings in the ex- penditure for legislation. He was called to the Senate by the Earl of Dufferin, Oct. 7, 1873, and he has been, according to the Montreal Star, " the special champion of French -Can. rights in the Red Chamber." Indeed, throughout his public life, Mr. B. has kept the in- terests of his fellow-countrymen and of Roman Catholics generally, con- stantly uppermost, going so far as to part company with his political friends on more than one occasion, for their seeming neglect of those interests. In 1873 he declined a seat in Sir John A. Macdonald's Administration, owing to " Old- Tomorrow's " unsettled policy 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 has held other important and influential positions. He declined the Speaker- ship of the Quebec Assembly, 1872, for party reasons. He m. 1847, Henrietta, dau. of the late Lt.-Col. Armand (she d. July, 1895).— St. Vincent de Paid, P. Q. BEIT, Rev.

Apptd. to Dun- das, 1850, he served successively thereafter at Scarboro', 1853-69; Osh- awa, 1869-75, and Ancaster, 1875- 79, and was rector of St. Luke's, Burlington, 1879-96.

BENDER, Louis Prosper, M. D., litterateur, is the s. of the late Louis P. Bender, advocate, Quebec, by his wife, Jane McMillan. B. in Quebec, July 30, 1844, he was ed. at the Quebec Semy. , and graduated JVI. D. at McGill Univ., 1865. In the same year he was admitted to the Coll. 74 BENGOUGH— BENNETT. of P. & S., and later, was admitted to the Coll. of P. & S. of Ont. Be- fore graduating he served on the med. staff of the Northern army, during a portion of the Am. civil war, and was brought under the personal notice of Genl. Grant. Thereaf ter he practised successfully in his native city, removing to Bos- ton, 1884, where he has adopted the homeopathic system. Before leav- ing Can., Dr. B. published two works of permanent interest, viz., " Literary Sheaves, or La Littdra- ture au Canida- Francais " (Mont- real, 1881); and "Old and New Canada, 1753-1844: Historic Scenes and Social Pictures, or the Life of Joseph Francois Perrault" (do., 1882) ; and since his change of resi- dence he has added to his reputation as a writer by numerous contribu- tions to the Am. periodical press. The majority of these articles have appeared in the Mag. of Am. His- tory, and in the North. Am. Review, several afterwards appearing in^iam- phlet form.

Ed. at the Whitby Dist. and Grammar Sch., he at first studied law, but not finding that profession to his taste, became a printer. Moving to Toronto, he, in May, 1873, estab- lished Grip, a humorous weekly, illustrated by himself. His political cartoons in this paper, which has now ceased to exist, displayed a high degree of artistic talent, and led the N. Y. Herald to pronounce him ' ' the greatest cartoonist living on this side of the continent." He severed his connection with Grip, Sept., 1892, and thereafter for some months was employed as a, carica- turist by the Montreal Star. More recently he joined the staff of the Toronto Globe in the same capacity. His daily political cartoon was an attractive feature in that paper dur- ing the Dom. electoral campaign of 1896. Mr. B. is also widely known as a humorist lecturer, and as a poet. It was he who wrote the famous election song, " Ontario, Ontario," the paternity of which was for a time erroneously given to another. Among his publications are : ' ' Grip's Cartoons " ( 1 875) ; ' ' Popular Readings, Original and Selected" (1882) ; "Caricature His- tory of Canadian Politics" (2 vols., illustrated, 1886); "Motley: Verses Grave and Gay " (1895) ; " The Up to Date Primer : A First Book of Lessons for Little Political Econo- mists" (1896). Mr. B. was apptd. an Assoc, of the Royal Can. Acad, of Arts, on its formation 1880, and became Presdt. of the Single Tax Assn., 1891. He advocates the total prohibition of the liquor traffic, and was, in 1896, offered nomi- nation by the Prohibitionists as a candidate for the representation of North Bruce in the Ho. of Com- mons.

Re- turned at the g. e., 1896, he was unseated on petition Dec. of that year, and again returned, Feb. , 1897. Since entering Parlt. he speaks fre- quently, and has added to the de- bating power of his party in the Commons. In 1895 he was chosen to move the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne. In 1896 he was apptd. a mem. of the Ex. Comte. of the Lib. -Con. Union of Ont. He calls himself a moderate Protectionist, and favours the con- tinuance of Brit, connection. Unm. — Midland, Ont. BENOIT, Francois, a retired mer- chant, is the o. of the late Francois Benoit, of Montreal, by Marie He- lene le Tourneux. B. in Montreal, Oct. 4, 1837, he was ed. at Mont- real Coll., and, later, entered on a mercantile career by becoming one of the founders of the house of Menoit & le Tourneux. Retiring from business, 1864, he has since devoted himself to public life, though never a candidate for parliamentary honours. He his been a dir. in various monetary, philanthropic, lit- erary, and colonization soc's., and founded, 1884, the Soc. d' Agricul- ture of the Province of Quebec. He has been for many yrs. Treas. of the Assn. St, Jean Baptiste, and the great national demonstration of 1884, held in Montreal, was due largely to his efforts. Mr. B., since 1887, has been Presdt. of the French-Can. Con.

(where he received his early education), Mch. 6, 1853. After teaching in one of the Public schs. a year he entered on the career of his life — journalism. Starting in 1873 as reporter on the Hamilton Standard, a journal founded to promote the "9 hour" labour movement, he shortly after joined the staff of the Hamilton Spectator as reporter, and, later, became asst. ed. In 1875 he went to South Africa, where he was a year and a half on the Natal Witness, and three and a half years on the Cape Argus, then the leading journal in the colony. While there he compiled a " Guide Book of the Cape Colony. " Returning to Can. , 1 880, he was connected with various Ont. newspapers till, in 1883, he moved to Montreal, where he started the Dom. Dry Goods Report, the first trade journal in the dry goods trade in Can. This journal after- wards took up the field of textile manufacturing, to which it is now specially devoted, the name being changed to the Canadian Journal of Fabrics. In 1885 he brought out the first textile directory of Can., pp. 218, with a mass of useful statis- tics, not elsewhere obtainable, relat- ing to the textile trades of the Dom. Three editions of this work have been published, the last being issued in 1892. In 1886 he attended the Col. and Ind. Exbn. in London, and there published a little journal called the Canadian Exhibitor, de- voted to the interests of the Can. section of that remarkable display of the products of the Brit. Col. Empire. According to the rules, of the Exbn. , all the exhibits required to be the actual products or manu- factures of the colony, and Can. was the only country represented which could produce . the materials of a newspaper. The type, the printing ink, paper, press and fittings were all of Can. manufacture, and the Exhibitor was consequently the only paper printed in the " Colinderies " as an exhibit. In 1889 he compiled a descriptive hand-book of the Dom. , entitled ' ' Canada : a Memorial Vol- ume," the book being partly the outcome of his work at the Colonial Exbn., and containing much infor- mation not accessible elsewhere. In 1891 he produced the " Anecdotal Life of Sir John Macdonald," which was received with unlimited praise by the press of both sides of politics. The entire edition of 3,000 copies was sold off within about 3 mths. In 1893 he started the Canadian Engineer, devoted to engineering and electricity. Mr. B. has contrib- uted various articles to magazines and encyclopaedias, and among other pamphlets has written a "Sketch of the Battle of Stony Creek;" "Lon- gevity in the Maritime Provinces j" a " History of Canadian Journalism," written as an introduction to the first hand-book of Canadian news- papers published in 1892 ; "History of Saltfleet ;" " The Beginning of Bathurst," etc. He is a mem. of the Ch. of Eng., and m. 1875, Miss Margaret Ada Carter (she d.

A pe- tition was filed against his return, and he resigned, successfully con- testing the seat in the bye-election which followed. Those were dark days for Liberalism. The Mac- kenzie Govt, had just been defeated in the Dom., and in the Local House which Mr. B. was entering, the Lib- erals counted only 6, in a House of 41 mems.

In the following session, Mch., 1883, he defeated the Hannington Minis- istry and was called upon to form a new Admn. He accepted the task and in one day had his Cabinet com- pleted. His Govt, was sustained in 3 general elections, viz., in 1886, 1S90 and 1894.

B. at the present village of Cairngorm, Ont., Oct. 13, 1833, he was ed. at U. C. Coll. (Gov.-Genl.'s prizeman), and at the Univ. of Toronto (B.A., and silver med. 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, " and mainly through his towering ability, it has become the leading legal firm in Can. , and has for yrs. held that commanding posi- tion. " He was created a Q. C. by Viscount Monck, 1864 ; became a Bencher of the Law Soc., U. O, 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 Law Soc. , and was apptd. an hon. mem. of the Law Faculty, Toronto Univ., 1888. He declined appt. as Chancellor of U. C. , under the govt, of Sir John Macdonald, 1869, as Chief Justice of Can., under the govt, of Mr. Mackenzie, 1875, and as Chief Jus- tice of Ont., under that of Sir W. Laurier, 1897. Of late he has ap- peared frequently before the Judi- cial Comte. of the P. C. in Eng. , his services being retained in many cases taken there from the Bom. In 1895 he was chief counsel for the appel- lants in the Man. Sch. case before 88 SLAKE: that tribunal. His political career began in 1867, the epoch of Con- federation. He had early espoused the Lib. cause, and was often im- portuned to enter Parlt. In the year mentioned he was elected both to the Ho. of Commons and the Legisla- ture: He was immediately offered the leadership of his party in the latter body, but it was not till 1869 that he consented to accept that position. On the defeat of the Sandfield Macdonald Govt., Dec, 1871 (an event largely due to his efforts), Mr. B. was called upon to form a new Admn., and succeeded in the task. He himself took the office of Presdt. 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 to 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 be regarded as the ' 'Father" of Lib. govt, in his native Province. 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 Scandal, 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, without office. 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 such undertook an official mission to Eng., 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. After the defeat of the Mackenzie Govt, at the polls, 1878, he was chosen leader of the Lib. party in the Ho. of Commons, in place of the ex- Premier, whose health had become impaired by his arduous official labours. He remained in that posi- tion until after the g. e. of 1887, when he retired and was succeeded by Mr. Laurier. Subsequent to that event he took no prominent part either in the debates in the House; or in the general work of his party. At the g. e. 1890, he declined re- nomination, and sent to his con= stituents in West Durham, a letter, expressing his views of the condition and prospects of the country. This letter was believed to be of the greatest importance, but it was not published 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 gravest forebodings concerning the future of Can. "The splendid oratory and brilliant genius of Mr. B.," says Mr. Adam, from whose work of biography we have taken some of the facts herein, "were keenly missed in Parlt., and many were the hopes expressed that he would reconsider his determina- tion, and return to his rightful 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 the Brit. Ho. of Commons. 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 by J. H. Miller, in the Con. interest. At the close of the poll the vote stood : Hon. E. Blake, N., 2544; J. H. Miller, C, 347. His advent into Imp. polities was made under the most auspicious cir- cumstances, and fully justified the fondest hopes of his friends. At the first dinner after the election of the Eighty Club, the great Lib. fighting organization, he was the guest of the evening, and made a speech, whieh Wfl.a widpl-y f>nt riTvipnt.prl nivin and BLAKE. 89 highly eulogized as the clearest ex- position of the policy of Home Rule that had, up to that time, been heard. Since then he has continued to distinguish himself in the cause of Irel. In 1894 he was elected a mem. of the Ex. Comte. of the Irish Parliamentary party. In the same year he was included in the Royal Comn., apptd. to enquire into the financial relations between Gt. Brit, and Irel. This Comte. reported that IreL was bearing an unfair share of taxation, and in 1897 Mr. B. was selected to move an amend- ment to the address in reply to the Queen's speech on the subject. Later, he moved a substantive reso- lution thereon. The London Daily News, in commenting on his speech, said that ' ' his argument lost noth- ing by the moderation of his tone, and gained much by the skill with which it was marshalled, supported by a multitude of facts and figures. In spite of the mass of detail with which the speech was weighted, he succeeded in commanding attention to the last. " The speech occupied more than two hours in its delivery. In 1895 he was re-elected by accla- mation for South Longford. In the same year he went to New Zealand, to serve as arbitrator between the New Zealand Govt, and the New Zealand Midland Ry. Co. , and made his award in Dec. , wholly in favour of the Govt. In 1896 he was one of the Comte. of 15 of the Ho. of Commons, apptd. to investigate South African affairs and the causes of the Transvaal raid. His cross examination of Cecil Rhodes has been spoken of as "a masterly piece of work. " Mr. B. has been very suc- cessful in obtaining funds for carrying on the work of the Irish Parliament- ary party, and has himself contribu- ted largely thereto. To the election fund of the McCarthyite wing of the Nationalist party, 1895, his sub- scription was £1,000. Mr. B. was the first (and for 14 yrs. continu- ously) Presdt. of the Toronto Genl. Trusts Co. On his resignation of the office, 1896, the other directors of the Co. presented the Ont. Legisla- ture with his portrait in oils, " to mark their esteem for him and their appreciation of his services in some lasting way." Throughout his ca- reer, his interest in education — and especially higher education — 'has been most marked. In 1873 he was elected Chancellor of the Univ. of Toronto. In 1888 he gave $2,500 to found scholarships in Political Science in that institution, and in 1891 he agreed to give $20,000 as a fund towards endowing junior ma- triculation scholarships therein. After the destruction of the build- ings of the Univ. by fire, 1890, he gave largely to the rebuilding fund, and did much otherwise to assist in the work of restoration. He re- ceived the hon. degree of LL.D., from his Alma Mater, 1889. He declined a K. C. M. G. , for his public services, 1876. He was a del. to the 3rd Commercial Congress, Lon- don, 1893. Politically, he is now an Ind. Lib. At a dinner given in his honour in Toronto, Feb., 1894, he called himself an "Irishman, and an Imperialist, not in a jingo sense, but an Imperialist in the fullest sense of the word, and with the belief that the destiny of the Brit. Empire is to occupy the foremost position as a civilizer and Christian- izer throughout the whole world. " Continuing, he said, ' ' he looked forward to the granting of Home Rule to Irel. in the near future, and thereafter to seeing systems of local govt, established in all the great historical and natural divisions of Gt. Brit, with one Federal Parlt. in control." His portrait, painted by Grier, was exhibited at the Royal Acad., London, 1895. Mr. B. is a mem. of the Ch. of Eng. , of evangel, leanings.

BLAKE, Mrs. Kathleen, journalist, wasb. at Castleclakeney, Irel. ,May, 1863. Ed. in Dublin and Belgium, she m. at 15, and came to Am., 1884. Not long afterwards she entered upon a journalistic career in Can. , where, with the exception of ex- tended visits to the U.S. and abroad, she has since resided. A remarkable feature of her work is that she con- ducts successfully two entirely sep- arate and distinct depts. of the newspaper she represents (The To- conto Mail and Umpire), being spe- cial travelling correspondent and ed. of the page devoted to the " Wo ■ man's Kingdom." Mrs. B. has pub- lished a series of popular sketches on Dickensland, being the result of explorations in every poriion of London made famous by the great Eng. novelist. Her letters from the World's Columbian Exposition, 1893, and from London during the celebra- tion of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, 1897, were remarkable for their brilli- ancy and literary merit. She is best known by her pen name ' ' Kit, " over which she has done most of her work. She is said to be now en- gaged upon a novel. — Toronto. Oat.

She is per- haps better known in the U. S. than in Can. Her success in literature began with the publication of ' ' Cab- inet Articles," a series of pen pic- tures, quaint and grave and gay, which appeared in various magazines and newspapers. These were too unique to pass unnoticed, "and succeeded," says her biographer, Stanley Waterloo, "in winning for the modest young author a perma- nent place among writers of note, and a firm hold upon the hearts of thousands of readers on this conti- nent. She possesses that subtle gift which insures 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 well, 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 bosom, and catch the smell of leaves and moss and dew- wet grass." At 17 she wrote "Out of the Depths," a book of some merit, but decidedly inferior to her later works. Mrs. B's. poems are, perhaps, her very best works, and has led to her being called ' ' The sweetest of Canada's poets.

BOND, The Eight Eev. William Bennett, Bishop of Montreal (Ch. of Eng. ), belongs to a Cornish family, and was b. in Truro, Eng., Sept. 10, 1815. He received his primary edu- cation in his native place and in London. Leaving Eng. at an early age, he went to Nfd. , where he fol- lowed secular pursuits. His inclina- tions, however, led him to an eccle- clestical life, and he was prepared for holy orders by the late Arch- deacon Bridge. In 1840, under the advice of the late Rev. Mark Wil- loughby, he proceeded to Quebec, where, upon the completion of his studies, he was admitted to the diaconate, and, in 1841, was raised to the priesthood by the late Bp. Mountain. For two yrs. subsequent to his prdinatiqn, he was a travelling missionary, his headquarters being first, Russelltown Flats, and thenNa- pierville. Under instructions from Bp. Mountain he organized several missions in the E. T. , and he also found- ed sch's. in connection with the Nfd. Sch. Soc. , establishing 1 1 in the tp. of Hemmingford alone. In 1 842 he became incumbent of Lachine, where he remained for 6 yrs. Leaving there, he was called to St. Georges, Montreal, as asst. to the late Dr. Leach. His connection with this important parish continued, with- out interruption, for 30 yrs. , first as asst., and afterwards, from 1860 un- til his elevation to the Episcopate, as rector. It is said that he had no superior among the clergy of the diocese as an administrator. While rector of St. George's, the new ch. edifice was built in Dom. Square, to- gether with the sch. -house and rectory. Apptd. R. D. of Hoche- laga, 1863, and a Canon, 1866, he was chosen Archdeacon of Hoche- laga, 1870, and Dean of Montreal, 1873. The resignation of Dr. Oxen- den, 1878, making it necessary to elect a successor to him, the choice of the synod fell upon Dean Bond, and he was duly consecrated Bp. of Mont- real, in that city, Jan. 25, 1879, by the Bp. (Medley) of Fredericton, assist- ed by theBps.ofN.S.,Quebec,Algoma, Ont. and Niagara. After his elec- tion he -withdrew his claim to the Primacy of Can., which had pre- viously gone with the Bishopric of Montreal, and the late Dr. Medley, Bp. of Fredericton, as the earliest occupant of the Episcopal bench, became ipso facto Metropolitan. It should be added that his Lordship was for some yrs. chaplain of the 1st or Prince of Wales Regt.,and served as such with his corps on the east- ern frontier, during the Fenian raids, 1866 and 1870. He received the hon. degree of M.A., from Bishops' Coll., Lennoxville, 1854, and that of LL.D., from McGill Univ., 1870. His Lordship is a gov. of the. Prot.

Jones' Convalescent Hos- pital, and Presdt. of the An- drews Home. He has always been an ardent supporter of the temper- ance cause, and likewise earnest in the cause of good govt. , both politi- cally and in municipal matters. He was one of the originators of the Citizen's League, Montreal, 1888. As an evidence of the good-will en- tertained towards him by other re- ligious denominations, it is related, that when prostrated by illness in 1893, prayers were offered for his spiritual and temporal welfare in the R. C. churches in Montreal. His Lordship m. 1841, Miss Eliza Long- ley, of St. John's, Nfd. , (she d. June 20, 1879).—" Bishopscourt," J$ Union Avenue., Montreal. " Has a fine and commanding presence, is an earnest preacher, and an excellent plat- form speaker." — Dent. BOOTH, John Kudolphus, lumber merchant and railway promoter, was b. at Waterloo, P.Q., 1826, and ed. there. Moving to Ottawa, 1857, he saw the great possibilities of the Chaudiere with its vast water power. He built a small shingle mill on the site of what was afterwards known as Booth's mammoth lumber mill. In time he became one of the largest limit owners in Can. , as well as one of the most extensive manufacturers of lumber. He controlled 640,000 acres of timber, and cut an- nually at his mills from 25,000- 000 to 30,000,000 feet of lumber. As an illustration of his foresight, the Ottawa Journal has related that during the prevalence of hard times in 1874-76, when other lumber mer- chants, thinking the bottom had dropped out of the market and things were going to remain in that condition, were disposing of their limits by auction, Mr. B. was always on hand to bid for them. " He had faith in the country," adds the Jour- nal, "while they had not, and now these limits are worth five times the amount he paid for them, and this, too, after he has cut all the logs off them he required for his business." Owing to fires in his mills and yards, Mr. B. has now almost entirely closed his lumber business at Ottawa, and is devoting much of his time to ry. construction and development. One of his first works in this direction was the building of a short line in the Temiscamingue region, where he was also a promoter of the Temis- camingue Steamboat Co. In 1881 he threw himself into the work of building the Can. Atlantic road, connecting Ottawa directly with Montreal and the New Eng. States. Since then he has taken up the Ot- tawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Ry. scheme, and has carried it to completion as far as Georgian Bay. Of this scheme the Toronto Globe says : " It is a part of one of the biggest enterprises which any pri- vate individual ever undertook on this continent. Mr. B. aims at no less than making the 0. A. and P. S. Ry . the greatest avenue to the sea of the North-western States and North-west of Can. To this end 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 tributary to the Parry Sound road. He is aiming at that, and will accom- plish it if he lives long enough. " In connection with this scheme he pro- poses establishing a sanitarium for consumptives in Algonquin Park. Mr. B. is Presdt. of both the Can. Atlantic and the Parry Sound Ry. Cos. In Jan., 1897, he received from the Ottawa Bd. of Trade an expression of the appreciation and gratitude of his fellow-countrymen for the energy and enterprise dis- played by him in the construction of the latter road. In religion, he is a 98 BORDEN — BOETHWICK. Presb., and was formerly a trustee of the Ottawa Ladies' Coll. He was one of the founders of St. Luke's Hospital, Ottawa, 1897, and has been elected.

Her first appearance in public was made at a ch. concert in St. John, N.B. , she being then a child 5 yrs. old, and her first appearance in opera took place in the same city when she was 14. On this latter occasion she created the role of ' ' Patience " in Gil- bert & Sullivan's opera of that name. She first went to Paris to finish her education. She then began vocal study with Mad. Lagrange. She was her favourite pupil, and while with her attracted the notice of Gounod. Although she had no intention of entering the musical profession, and although her parents endeavoured to dissuade her from so doing, she was soon busy singing on the concert platform in Paris. Sir Augustus Harris paid a special visit to Paris to hear her, and at once en- gaged her to sing in Eng. She made her first appearance there in opera at Convent Garden as Michaela, 1890, and repeated the role till the end of the season.

Up to that time her life was an extremely domestic one. At the time mentioned the W. C. T. U. of N. S., with which she had a short time previously connected herself, petitioned the Legislature for the enfranchisement of N. S. women. This petition has been repeated every year, with the exception of 1896, and Mrs. C. has worked and written, to the best of. her ability, for the promotion of the ' ' cause. " In defence of her views she has broken a lance with some of the leading minds of the U. S. and Can. , ' ' and in every instance," says Dr. O'Hagan, in the Catholic World, "has done credit to her sex and the cause she has espoused." Perhaps her reply to Atty.-Genl. Longley's elaborate address in opposition to the second reading of the Bill, has received the widest notice. Mrs. C. is now Presdt. of the W. C. T. U. of N. S. She is an adherent of the Meth. Ch., but in the matter of belief holds herself free. She believes that "righteousness exalteth a nation," but that no nation or state has its foundations in righteousness which excludes the best half of its citizens from a voice in its Govt. She also believes in the "single tax," the legal prohibition of the liquor traffic and kindred abominations, the set- tlement of national difficulties by arbitration, and in co-operation as opposed to competition — Lunenburg, N.S.

As a politician, he joined in the national movement started in Montreal, 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 he addressed French and Eng. meetings in over 50 electoral divisions in the Province. He unsuccessfully con- tested Montreal Centre for the Ho. of Commons, in the Lib. interest, at the g. e. 1887 ( Vote : J. J. Curran, Con., 3116; H. J. Cloran, Lib., •2185), and was offered the candida- ture in Prescott, at the g. c. 1891, but declined for party reasons. Subsequently, he removed to Hawkes- bury, Ont., where he became identified with the agricult. and industrial interests of the Co. of Prescott, and stood as the Patron candidate for that constituency, g. e. 1896 {Vote: I. Proulx, Lib., 1334; H. J. Cloran, P., 996; D. Sabourin, Con., 902). He does not believe in the principle of protect ion. He holds that foreign markets, par- ticularly the nearest to hand, are necessary for the prosperity and progress of the fanners, who are the main wealth producers of Can. He believes that as long as Can. remains a colony, and is regarded as such by Europeans, the now of immigration will be slow and small, as it has been in the past, notwithstanding the many millions spent to encourage it. We have the game of independence, but we want the name of a free country to make Can. attractive to European immigrants, as well as progressive to her own people. He believes it is criminal to introduce questions of race and creed into public affairs and to attempt legislation or admin- istration according to racial and religious prejudices or ignorance. He considers the present Senate an expensive nullity, and that it should be made to depart this life. He regrets that Can., although young ia yrs. , is already in sore need of many reforms in its constitution, its laws and its administration of public affairs. He was apptd. advocate for the Provl. Revenue, P. Q. , June, 1S97. Mr. C. is a mem. of the K. C. Ch. He m. Oct., 1882, Agnes, dau. of the late Michael Donovan, of Montreal (she d. Aug., 1896).— 235 St. Antoine St., Montreal.

B. at Moose Factory, N.W.T., he was ed. at the High Sch., Montreal, and entered the service of the Bank of Montreal as a junior elk., Mch. 8, 1865. After passing through the various grades of service, he became asst. genl. mangr., 18S7, acting genl. mangr., 1889, and genl. mangr. of the Dank, a position he still fills, Nov., 1S90. Mr. C. had the advan- tage of serving under, or of acting with, six of the ablest financiers Can. has known, viz : The late E.H. King, the late C. F. Sniithers, R. B. Angus, W. J. Buchanan, Lord Mount-Stephen and Sir D. A. Smith. He is known as a man of few words, and as being exceedingly accurate and cautious in his transactions. His business skill and tact were well displayed in the conf . held between the bankers and the Mr. of Finance 200 CLUT — COCHRANE. (Mr. Foster), in connection with the renewal of the bank charters under the Act of 1890. To his efforts and those of Mr. Walker, of the Bank of Commerce (q.v.), at that time, the banks are mainly indebted for the privileges gained by them under that measure. On the organization of the Can. Bankers' Assn., 1893, he was chosen first Presdt. of that body, but was unable to accept the position, owing to other engage- ments. He was apptd. a gov. of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Mont- real, the same year, and subsequent- ly of the Fraser Inst. He is also a mem. of the Council of the Art Assn. of Montreal, and a mem. of the Ex. Comte. of the local branch St. John's Ambulance Assn. He is on the directorate of the Guarantee Co. of North Am. , of the Cumber- land Ry. and Coal Co. , and of the Liverpool and London and Globe Ins. Co., and is a trustee in Can. for the N. Y.

Grou- ard. — St. Bernard, Petit lac des Ex- claves, N. W. T. COCHRANE, Hon. Matthew Henry, cattle importer and breeder, is the s. of the late Jas. Cochrane, who came to Can. , from the north of Irel. , and was for many yrs. a merchant, farmer and cattle-breeder in the Province of Quebec. B. in Compton, P.Q., Nov. 11, 1823, he devoted himself in early life to farming, but at 1 8 went to Boston, where he embarked in the leather business. Returning to Can. , 1854, he laid the foundation of the business, subsequently carried on by Cochrane, Cassils & Co., Montreal, which now furnishes employment to over 300 hands, and does business as boot and shoe manfrs. to the extent 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 be said his reputation has grown to be world- wide. At the period when he began his enterprise in Compton, 1864, little had been accomplished in stock- raising in the Province of Quebec. He was the pioneer in that field of industry, and everything that has since been achieved, it is felt, is due to him. He set out determined on securing the best specimens of short- horns that money could purchase from leading cattle breeders in Britain. Commencing, 1867, with the purchase of the famous cow ' ' Rosedale " — an animal that had no peer in the Eng. prize-rings— he also imported a choice lot of South- down, Cotswold, Leicester and Lincoln sheep, together with a number of Suffolk horses and Berk- shire pigs. " Rosedale " was crossed with the 11th " Duke of Thorn- dale," imported at a cost of $3,000, and their first calf, a heifer, was sold to an Elinois stock-breeder for $3,500. The next year Mr. C. paid 1,000 guineas for another cow, " Duchess 97th," belonging to the noted Wetherly herd, which was the highest price 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 since gone on adding to his stock at "Hillhurst,"E.T., and in addition to COCHRANE — COCKBURN. 201 that establishment, has now, in the N.W.T., a ranche for the breeding of high-class cattle. Of late, he has paid a good deal of attention to the equine race, and it is predicted that he will be as successful in this dept. as he has been with his cattle and sheep. Mr. C. was called to the Senate of Can. , by the Earl of Dufferin, Oct. 17, 1872. Besides being Presdt. of the Cochrane Ranche Co., he is V.-P. of the Eastern Townships Bank, a gov. of the Sherbrooke Prot. Hospital, and a trustee of Lennoxville Univ.

Ed. at Glasgow Univ. , he subsequently entered Hanover Coll., Ind., U.S. (M.A., 1857; D.D., 1875), and completed his Theol. course at Princeton Semy. , N.J. Ordained to the ministry, N.Y., 1859, he was pastor of the Scotch Ch., Jersey city, 1859-62. In the latter year he was called to Brant- ford to assume charge of Zion Presb. Ch. in that city, where he has since remained. In 1874 he founded Brantford Ladies' Coll., of which he is Gov. and Lecturer in Phil. Dr. C. has filled a variety of other posi- tions, both in and out of the Ch. For over 25 yrs. he has been Presdt. of the Mech. Inst, and Public Library in his adopted town. He was' Moderator of the Genl. Assem- bly, 1882, and has been sent as a del. to all the great councils and confs. of the Presb. Ch. , including the Pan- Presb. Alliances held in Belfast, London and Glasgow, respectively. He has declined calls from Boston, New York, Chicago, Detroit, etc. Always an industrious writer, he has produced several religious works of more than ordinary interest, chief among which are : " The Heavenly Vision (1873), "Christ and Christian Life" (1875), " The Church and the Commonwealth " (1887), " Memoirs and Remains of the Rev. Walter Inglis " (do.), "Future Punish- ment" (1888). He has been twice m., 1st, to Miss Mary N. Hovatover (she d.); and, 2nd, Oct, 1873, to Miss Jeanette E. Balmer. — Zion Manse, Brantford, Ont.

Ed. at the local schs., he commenced his business career in Eldon, Victoria, Ont., of which tp. he was subse- quently elected reeve. At the Con- federation of the provinces, 1867, he was returned to the Provl. Assem- bly for North Victoria, and, while there, aided the late Hon. John Sandfield Macdonald in maturing and carrying into effect a liberal land and ry. policy for Ont. He first visited the Muskoka dist. , with the development of which he has had so much to do, Sept., 1865. He subsequently took up his permanent residence there, and laboured zeal- ously to bring the resources of the Muskoka and Parry Sound region to the notice of the outside world. From 370 in 1865, the population increased to 36,874 in 1891, mainly through his efforts. He founded the Muskoka Settlers' Assn., 1867, and wrote largely in furtherance of his purpose, his ' ' Few Weeks in the North " (for the production of which he was specially complimented by the late Hon. T. D. McGee, then Mr. of Agriculture), "The Settlers' Guide " and " The Tourists' Guide " being among the most noted of his publications in this direction. But perhaps the most direct means of bringing Muskoka to the notice of intending settlers was by the estab- lishment of a large and magnificent fleet of steam vessels which he 202 COCKBURN — CODY. owned and controlled on the North- ern lakes for many yrs. Mr. C. sat for Muskoka, in the Ho. of Com- mons, 1872-82, and for North On- tario, 1882-87, when defeated, and he was also again defeated at the g. e. 1891.

Ed. at the Edinburgh High Seh. and University (M.A. and Stratton prizeman, 1857), he continued his classical studies in Germany and France. The celebrated Dr. Schmitz, Rector of Edinburgh High Sch., said of him that he was no ordinary scholar, but a thorough philologist, possessing a remarkable insight into the structure, the relation and affini- ties subsisting between the ancient and modern languages of Europe, and characterized him as one of the best Latin scholars that Scot, had produced. He commenced his Can. career 1858, as Rector of the Model Grammar Sch. for U. C. He was shortly afterwards commissioned to inspect the higher educational insti- tutions of the Province, and as the result of his investigations, which extended over a period of 2 yrs., presented two comprehensive re- ports to the Executive, in which the condition and needs of the service were ably set forth. After visit- ing a number of the principal insti- tutions of learning in the U. S., in order to familiarize himself thor- oughly with their methods, he was apptd., £1861, Principal of U. C.

CONANT, Thomas, so well known in connection with his notes of travel and other writings in the Toronto Olobe, is descended from Roger Conant, who came to Ont. from Mass., 1786, obtaining grants of land from the Crown, some of which are still in the possession of the Conant family.

Ed. at the Grammar Schs. of Oshawa and Whitby, and at Eddy- town Semy., near Geneva, N.Y., Mr. C. afterwards privately acquired a knowledge of most of the modern languages, a mental equipment which has been of considerable service to him in his journeyings in foreign lands. Although he has published no book, Mr. C. is prob- ably better known to the people of Ont. by his writings than many of our voluminous authors. His con- tributions to literature have so far taken the form of historical sketches, critical essays, and notes of travel, nearly all of which have appeared, from time to time, in the Toronto Globe. Among these may be specially mentioned, notes of a camping journey of 550 miles through the Holy Land ; sketches of the War of 1812 ; and articles on the Canadian poets ; on Man. and theN.-W.; on early settlers in Ont. ; and on the experiences of the refugees from Mass. in the last cen- tury. No doubt a collection of his various writings will be presented to the public in book form at some future day. In Sept., 1896, he left Can., intending to visit Australia and India.

Her first venture in the journalistic field was a series of let- ters descriptive of the Cotton Cen- tennial in New Orleans, written for the Toronto Globe, the Memphis Ap- peal, etc. After this she became a mem. of the editorial staff of the Washington Post, but later returned to the Toronto Globe, where she wrote under, the nom de plume of "Garth Grafton."

Her book of travels, entitled "A Social Departure ; or, How Orthodocia and I went Round the World by Our- selves," published 1890, gained her immediate notice. This was fol- lowed by "The American Girl in London" (published originally in the Ladies' Pictorial), and this, after- wards, in quick succession, by "A Daughter of To-day," "Vernon's Aunt," "The Simple Adventure of a Mem Sahib," "The Story of Sonny Sahib," and "His Honor and a Lady " — the three latter being stories of Anglo-Indian life.

His abilities as a pastor and preacher were speedily recognized, his services being sought by several large congregations. He occupied the pulpit of Parliament St. Ch., Toronto, and during his pastorate there impressed his influence for good on the community so signally that his removal to Dundas St., London, in 1886, was regretted by all classes and creeds. In London he easily took the lead, and when his term there ended, 1892, he was installed in the Dominion Square 214 COURTNEY. Ch., Montreal, the pulpit of which had been occupied by not a few of the most distinguished of the Meth. fathers, such as Drs. Douglas, Ant- liff, Stafford, Rose, and Henderson.

Leaving Montreal, he accepted an appointment to the Sydenham St. Ch., Kingston, and remained there up to his election by the Meth. Conf. to the editorship of the Chris- tian Guardian, the chief organ of the Ch., Sept. 18, 1894 (Vote: Rev. A. C. Courtice, 123 ; Rev. Dr. Dew- art, 87). While at Kingston he was Presdt. of the Dist. Ministerial Assn. Mr. C. has won note as a literary worker, his contributions to the magazines of his Ch. , to other periodicals, and to the general press, having a merit beyond the average. Among his recent papers is : " Some Problems in Current Journalism," the general basis of the paper being that the Kingdom of Heaven or the Kingship of Jesus should dominate the press as much and as truly as the platform or the pulpit.

George Albertus, Sena- tor, capitalist, is of Eng. descent, his family having come to the U. S. from Eng., 1810. In 1818 they removed to Can., first taking up land in Prince Edward, and after- wards in Northumberland Co. , Ont. He is the s. of Edward W. Cox, by his wife, Jane Tanner, and was b. at Colborne, Ont., May 7, 1840. Ed. there, he commenced life as an operator in the service of the Montreal Telegraph Co. After two yrs. spent in its office in his native town, he was sent, May, 1858, to take charge of its Peterboro' office. In Peterboro' he lived for 30 yrs., and he is still largely interested in its prosperity. He continues to exercise unabated interest in every- thing that contributes to the welfare of his old home, which now is one of the most prosperous and progressive towns in Ont., and he takes an active part in the direction of the Can. Gen. Electric Co. , the Peter- boro' Lock Manfg. Co., and other local organizations. The young agent speedily asserted his individ- uality, and took an active part in the municipal, educational and com- mercial interests of Peterboro'. For no less than 7 yrs. he was Mayor ; 3 times he was successful in contested elections, and 4 times he was elected by acclamation. In 1871 Mr. C. stepped from the municipal into the political field, and contested the riding of West Peterborough with the late W. H. Scott for the Legis- lature. He won the fight, but the election was set aside, and in the following year he was defeated by Mr. Scott, by a majority of one. In 1887, Mr. C. contested the same riding for the Ho. of Commons, with Jas. Stevenson. He was again de- feated, but the majority was only 16. Mr. C. soon became interested in enterprises of interest to the country at large, and in 1878 he be- came Presdt. of the Midland Ry. of Can., holding that position until 1884, when he resigned. During his term of office a great amalgamation took place ; the Grand Junction, the Whitby and Port Perry, the Victoria and the Toronto and Nipissing Rys., all being consolidated, the system thus created being sold to the Grand Trunk. In 1881 he was one of the Howland syndicate that offered to build the C. P. Ry. In 1884 he became Presdt. of the Central Can. Loan and Savings Co. In 1885 he became a dir. of the Can. Bank of Commerce, in 1888 V.-P, and in 1890, Presdt. of that institution, cox. 217 and still retains this important position. He has been prominently identified with the Can. Life Assur. Co. since 1861, and is now on the directorate. In 1881 he became a dir. of the Western Fire and Marine Insurance Co., and upon the death of A. M. Smith, 1894, succeeded to the presidency of that Co., a posi- tion he still holds. He is also Presdt. of the Brit. Am. Fire and Marine Ins. Co. He was one of the first dirs. of the Toronto Genl. Trusts Co., organized in 1884, and still retains a position upon the directorate and executive comte. of that Co. He has to do with a large number of other institutions, in- cluding the projected James' Bay Ry . , of which he is one of the chief promoters. He has lived in Toronto since 1888.

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Soc. of Can., 1897.— 28 Hutchison St., Montreal. COX, Palmer, author and artist, is the s. of Michael Cox, by his wife, Mary Miller, and was b. at Granby, P.Q., Apl. 28, 1840. Ed. at the Granby Acad., he subsequently re- sided in Springfield, Mass., and Lucknow, Ont., until 1863. At sch. he drew pictures instead of doing his arith. lesson. The fly- leaves of his books, the walls of his room, even the fences, as well as slate and paper, showed signs of his tell-tale pencil. When he became a man, although he still kept his love for drawing and books, he did not follow his inclination. Realizing the struggles to be met by artists or authors, and having a livelihood to make, he devoted himself to mer- cantile pursuits. After leaving Ont. , he drifted to Cal. , where an artist who saw his work advised him to place himself under instructors, and to seek a market for his drawings. From 1863 to 1875 he wrote stories for the periodicals in San Francisco, and drew cartoons, which were copied by the Eastern papers. Re- turning East, he settled in N. Y., where he follows artistic and literary pursuits. He has distinguished himself chiefly by illustrating his own writings with characteristic drawings, as shown in the "Brownie Stories," the first of which was written and published in St. Nich- olas, 1881. The 5 published Brownie volumes are : " The Brownies, their Book ;" " Another Brownie Book ;" "The Brownies at Home;" "The Brownies Around the World ; " "The Brownies Through the 218 COYNE — CRAIG. Union.'' Among other works by Mr. C. are : " Squibs of California " (1874), " Hans Von Pelter's Trip to Gotham" (1878), "How Columbus Found America " (do. ), "That Stan- ley "(do.), "Comic Yarns" (1888), "Queer People," 3 vols, (do.), a cantata for children, called ' ' The Brownies in Fairyland," and a spec- tacular play for the stage, called ' ' Palmer Cox's Brownies.

He was for some yrs. a commercial traveller in Ont., but, abandoning that employ- ment, he went to Honolulu to fill a position of trust, 1889. Having served as a non-com. offr. in the 32nd Huron Batt., V. M., in Can., his services as a mil. man were of some value to the authorities in Hawaii during the two recent rebel- lions in that country. During the outbreak of 1893, he was placed in command of a co. of the regular forces, and rendered excellent ser- vice. But it was in the rebellion of Jan., 1895, that he most distinguished himself. On that occasion he served at the head of an independent div. of the national army, and it was his arty, that shelled Diamond Head, put the rebels to flight, and thus put an end to the rebellion. He now holds the rank of 1st lieut. in Co. E. Honolulu Nat. Gds. He still claims Can. as his country, and will return at any time his services may be required to fight for her defence.

Gibb, at Abbotsford. After com- pleting his public sch. course he attended the High Sch., Montreal, and, later, became secy, and asst. to Mr. Gibb. At that gentleman's suggestion he became a student at the Iowa Agricul. Coll. in horticul- ture and economic botany. He re- mained there 3 yrs., and was awarded a diploma, 1887. During the last year of his course there he was asst. to Prof. Budd in the branches of hy- bridizing, propagating and testing varieties. On the organization of the Iowa Experiment Station, he was apptd. asst. to the dir. , having special charge of the dept. of Horti- culture. While there he was sent on a, botanical expedition for the purpose of making a collection of the wild and cultivated grasses. In the pursuit of this work he made an extended tour through Dakota, Mon- tana, Washington, Oregon, Utah and Colorado. In Jan. 1890, he was apptd. Horticulturist of the Govt.

CRAIK, Robert, M.D., is descended from an old Scottish border family, and was b. in Montreal, Apr. 22, 1829, his parents having come to Can. from Edinburgh, Scot, 1818. He received his earlier education at a public sch., conducted by John Bruce, afterwards Govt. Inspr. of Schls., P.Q. He obtained his pro- fessional education at McGill Univ., Montreal, beginning 1850, and graduating, with the highest hon- ours of his year, 1854. From the Univ., Dr. C. went directly to the Montreal Genl. Hospital, as House Surg., among his first experiences being his attendance upon the large number of patients admitted with Asiatic cholera during the epidemic of that year. He had the satisfac- 220 CRAIK. tion of knowing that although hun- dreds of patients were received into the Hospital, suffering from Asiatic cholera, with the usual large per- centage of deaths, the disease was not allowed to spread in a single instance, to any of the other patients or inmates. In 1856, his official connection with M cGill Univ. as a teacher began, when he was made Demonstrator of Anatomy with entire charge of Practical Anatomy, then a separate dept. with a single demonstrator ; a position which he retained until 1860. In 1859 he also became Curator of the Mu- seum. In 1860 he resigned the House Surgeoncy of the Hospital, and was made a mem. of its Med. Bd., beginning at the same time the private practice of his profes- sion. In the same year he became Prof, of Clinical Surgery, continu- ing in that chair until 1867, making a name for himself in the resection of joints, and as a successful ovari- otomist, at a time when success in such operations 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 Chemistry, a task which, though arduous, he was able to carry through with success ; and finding the teaching of chemistry more 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 addition to his other duties, he became Regr. of the Faculty, the onerous work of which office he con- tinued to perform until relieved by Prof. Osier, 1877. In 1875 also he succeeded the late Prof. G. W. Campbell as Treas. of the Faculty. In 1879, Dr. C. resigned the chair of Chemistry, becoming Emeritus Prof., but continuing his duties as Treas. , and his active interest in all the affairs of the Faculty, including its representation on the Provl. Med. Bd., and in other ways. Dr. C. became Dean of the Faculty in 1889, after the death of the late Dean, the much lamented Dr. R. Palmer Howard, and has continued in that office up to the present time. In the same year he also became Prof, of Hygiene and Public Health, and was named by the Quebec Govt, a mem. of its Provl. Bd. of Health. During his administration as Dean many and important changes have occurred in the Faculty, -and its progress has been phenomenal. A chair of Path, has been created, and a prof, brought from Eng. to fill it. The med. buildings have been practi- cally doubled in size, and equipped in a manner second to none 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 corfsolidated ; the number of profes- sors and teachers has been nearly doubled, and, thanks to the munifi- cence of Sir D. A. Smith, the late John H. R. Molson, and other friends of the Faculty, endowments amounting in the aggregate to up- wards of $184,000 have been added to its capital. During the same period also the Royal Victoria Hos- pital has been erected and opened for the reception of patients ; and the Montreal Genl. Hospital has been remodelled and practically rebuilt. With all of these changes Dr. C. has been more or less actively identified, and, notwithstanding the increased tax upon the students both in time and money, the gratifying result is to be seen in the great increase in their number, from 233, in 1889, to 41 4, in 1896. In 1896 he was apptd. Consulting Physician to the Royal Victoria Hospital. In 1895 his Univ. conferred upon Dr. C. the hon. degree of LL. D. , for the follow- ing reasons, as taken from the records of the Univ. : ' ' Because of his long connection with the Univ. as an eminently successful teacher, his distinguished position as a leader in the med. profession in this city and this Province, his valuable ser- vices in the interest of public health, and the prominent part he has taken CRANKSHAW. 221 in advancing med. education, espe- cially in this Univ. and this Pro- vince for a long term of years." Dr. C. has not been a voluminous writer on med. subjects. He is better known as a teacher and lecturer, and by his addresses at coll. and hospital openings and other semi- public occasions. His style is de- scribed as forcible and clear rather than fluent, and when thoroughly in earnest in advocating a cause or a reform, he rarely fails of success. His graduation thesis, written in 1854, while he was still an under- graduate, attracted much attention, and was published ire exteuso in the Sept. number of the Montreal Med. Chronicle of that year. In it he was, so far as known, the first writer to claim for the class of infectious dis- eases an origin in a specific cell or germ for each disease, using convin- cing arguments in support of his opinion, predicting with confidence the early discovery of these specific germs, and pointing out the direc- tion in which the search would pro- bably be successful. The now uni- versally accepted germ theory of infectious diseases has so completely verified these predictions, that his forecasts of 42 yrs. ago seem almost like prophetic inspirations. In his busy life, and more particularly during the last 20 yrs., he has found time to be an enthusiastic farmer, fox-hunter and breeder of fine stock. His fine herd of Polled Angus cattle has never been excelled in this country, and won many prizes at the World's Fair, Chicago, 1893. Thoroughbred horses of his breeding have Deen among the best in Can. He has won more than one Queen's Plate, and the Hunt Cup of 1887, and other trophies, are familiar objects in his dining-room. ' ' Craik- stone," his well-known country house and farm, is on the northern outskirts of the city and within a half-hour's ride of his town resi- dence.

B. in Montreal, 1858, he ran away from home when 12 yrs. of age. He started to walk to N. Y. , a feat he successfully accomplished by virtue of a ride now and then on a ry. train. Attracting the attention of the Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg, he ob- tained employment in the office of Church and State, then the official organ of the Prot. Ep. Ch. in Am. He learned the business of a printer thoroughly in various establishments, finally drifting into the office of the Brooklyn Eagle, where he met Thos. Kinsella, who encouraged him to write, and to whom he submitted CREIGHTON. 225 his first poem. He next undertook a course in Theol. in Dr. Talmage's lay theological coll., but not with any intention of ascending the pul- pit. In 1878 he went on the New York Herald as a reporter. In the winter, 1878, Capt. Paul Boyton ar- rived in N. Y. with his famous life- saving suit, then a much doubted novelty. C. was assigned by the paper to test the efficacy of the suit, and one night he and Boyton donned the life-saving armour, and jumping into the river at the Battery allowed themselves to drift down into the bay. The night was very cold and the river full of ice, so that when the swimmers wished to reach the shore they found themselves un- able to do so. Mr. C. wrote the ac- count of this night's adventure and the publication created a veritable sensation, and made Boyton's life- saving suit famous. As a conse- quence of this C, later, as special correspondent for the same paper, accompanied Koyton on his well- known trip from Oil City, Pa., through the Alleghany, Ohio and Mississippi rivers to the Gulf of Mexico. In 1879, Mr. C. was sent to Montreal to accompany Prof. C. H. Grimley in the first ascension of Page's iron air-ship. The aeronauts nearly lost their lives in this ad- venture. The ship burst and drag- ged its occupants for many miles be- fore they were rescued. Mr. C. es- caped with a broken arm and a few painful bruises, but Grimley was more seriously injured. After this Mr. C. was called on to investigate the death of Gen. Custer, and inte- viewed Sitting Bull and all the fight- ing chiefs of that day, He also was sent to write up the Hatfield-McCoy feud, and was frequently shot at by the Hatfields, who refused to allow him to approach their rendezvous, compelling him to sleep in the woods or where he could. Called to Paris, 1889, and thence sent to London to assume the Mang. -Editor- ship of the London edition of the New York Herald, he afterwards occupied positions of trust on 16 the Paris Herald, and was in charge there for several yrs. In the course of his employment in the foreign offices of the paper, Mr. C. was sent to Rome, where he obtain- ed an interview with the Pope, and also an exclusive interview with H. M . Stanley on the latter's return from the Emin Bey trip. He visited Louis Kossuth at Turin, and explained his aims and mode of life. He was sent to write up the reception of Ericsson's body in the harbour of Stockholm, and to Russia, to investi- gate the so-called persecution of the Jews. He visited Count Tolstoi at Yasnia Poliania, in the heart of Russia, and wrote an account of the famous Russian's life-work. Mr. C. severed his connection with the Herald, Nov., 1893, and went to Eng. to found and manage the Brit, ed. of the Cosmopolitan Mag. He remained there, however, but a few months, and on his return accepted an offer to proceed to Japan as war correspondent for the N. Y. World in Corea, China and Japan. He served throughout the struggle, being the only Am. correspondent at the front. At one time he was taken prisoner by the Japanese, but was liberated by Eng. intervention. After his return to Am. , he was sent to Cuba, at the outbreak of the re- bellion in that country, but being expelled from the island, saw little of the struggle there. More recently he has been in Greece and Turkey. While in Paris, 1891, he m. Miss Buel, of Ohio, a noted beauty. — Press Club, New York.

He was long engaged in journalism, having been ed. and prop, of the Owen Sound Times from 1864 up to his final retirement from that field of labour, Jan. 1, 1896. In 1887 he was entrusted by the late Sir John Macdonald with the task of forming a stock co. for the purpose of pub- lishing a daily official organ in To- 226 CREIGHTON— CRIDGE. ronto, the result being The Empire, the first number of which appeared Dee. 27, 1887. This paper continued to be published until the arrange- ment, in Feb., 1895, by which it and The Mail both ceased publication that a new paper, The Mail and Empire, might take its place. Always Con. in politics, Mr. C. sat in that interest for North Grey, in the Ont. Assembly, from Oct., 1875 up to the g. e. 1890, when he was defeated by Mr. Cleland, the Re- form candidate.

In 1863 he was called to the bar, and thereafter successfully practised in his native city. In 1876 he was made a Q. C. by the Govt, of Quebec, and received the same honour from the Marquis of Lome in 1882. Mr. C. took an active interest in politics, and was elected Presdt. of the Junior Con. Club. He unsuccessfully contested Shefford with the late Hon. L. S. Huntingdon, for the Ho. of Com- mons at the g. e. 1874, but was returned for Montreal Centre at the g. e. 1882, and continued to repre- sent that constituency at Ottawa up to the time of his elevation to the bench as a Puisne Judge of the Sup. Ct., P.Q., Dec. 5, ]892. Mr. CURRIE. 233 C. was apptd. Sol. -Gen. in the ministry of Sir John Thompson, and continued to hold that office after the accession to the premiership of Sir Mackenzie Bowell. On the occasion of his appt. His Lordship was congratulated by the press without distinction of party, both on public and personal grounds. In acknowledgment of "his indefatig- able efforts to promote the interests of his constituents," he was present- ed, in 1890, chiefly by citizens of Montreal, with a purse of $7,000. On the organization of a Law Faculty in connection with the Univ. of Ot- tawa, 1892, Mr. C. was apptd. to one of the legal chairs and elected Vice-Dean.

In addition to winning distinction as an orator, His Lordship has won a high rank as a lecturer, and his address on the " Life and Labours of Sir John Thompson," before the Cath. Sum- mer Sch., at Plattsburgh, N.Y., July, 1896, was considered an able and eloquent tribute to the memory of one of the Dominion's greatest statesmen. Though a fervent Cath. , Judge C. yields to none in breadth of sympathy and generous desire for the union of all denominations for the best and noblest objects. In replying to an address from the ladies of St. Ann's, Montreal, after his elevation to the bench, he said, ' ' That as a public man, it had been his constant aim to bring about a union of hearts and minds amongst all creeds and classes," and he "was satisfied that if we desired to have a prosperous country, with a happy and contented people, we could only secure those blessings by all creeds and classes uniting together for one common end — the advancement and welfare of Canada and the Empire." In Aug., 1896, he was elected a del. to the Irish Race Convention, which met in Dublin during the ensuing month. He has been Presdt. of St. Patrick's Soc, Montreal, and was until his elevation to the bench, one of the dirs. of the True Witness Publish. Co.

"No constituency in Canada has ever had a representative who gave up more of his time, his talent and his energy to the promotion of its interests than did Mr. Curran during the thirteen years he has en- joyed the confidence of the electors .... His genial kindly nature, his large-hearted- ness, his conspicuous liberality of mind, absolutely free from every trace of bigotry, and his splendid oratorical powers, caused him to be in constant requisition wherever men were gathered together in the pro- motion of worthy objects, for the discussion of public affairs or the advancement of the material and social welfare of the country." — Gazette CURRIE, George Graham, poet and journalist, is the s. of F.

Ordained to the ministry, 1885, he was the first mission, sent out to Africa by the Can. Cong. Foreign Miss. Soc. In Sept., 1888, he established the mission station at Cisambra, Bihe, West Central Afri- ca. Here he remained alone until 1889, when he was joined by the Rev. Wilberf orce Lee. The mission has a sch. for young people, which is well attended, and there is a large attendance at the preaching services on Sunday. Cisambra is in Portu- guese territory, and a military force having been sent thither to punish the authors of an alleged rebellion, Mr. C. acted as arbitrator, and secured peace, which raised him in the estimation of the natives, with whom he has since had great influ- ence.

CXIRZON, Mrs. Sarah Anne, au- thor, was b. near Birmingham, Eng. , 1833, and with the exception of three or four yrs. spent at a girl's sch., at Birmingham, received 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. , 1 862, 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 the popular family periodicals of the day. On the founding of the Can. Monthly, by Prof. Goldwin Smith, 1872, her attention was drawn to Can. Lit- erature, and she contributed to that mag. several papers of a simple character, as also a little verse. 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 industriously to the discussions thereon in the daily press. She was also a strong advo- cate of Woman Suffrage, writing in support of it in Can. , Eng. and Am. newspapers, and editing a woman's page on the same lines in the Canada 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- erary work has continued in its old form of occasional contributions of fiction, essay and verse to periodi- cals of high standing published in Can. , among them being The Week, The Dom. Illustrated, Grip, The Evang. Churchman, The Can. Mag. Her pen, however, has always been at the service of the public, and she has consequently done a good 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 1S12-14, and led to the formation of several 236 CUSHING — DAFOE. historical societies and organiza- tions having for their object the prosecution of original research and investigation. Since 1887, the greater part of her contributions to Can. literature has been on histori- cal subjects, to which have been added translations into Eng. from Le Moine, Suite, and other well known writers in the Province of Quebec. Mrs. C. has written pamphlets and papers for the Lundy's Lane Hist. Soc., and she has read papers before the York Pioneer and Hist. Soc, and be- fore the National Council of Women, presided over by the Countess of Aberdeen. She is an hon. mem. of the two societies first named and of the Woman's Art Assn. of Can., and in 1895, was elected Presdt. of the Woman's Can. His. Soc.

B. at Sault au Recollet, Mch. 24, 1840, he was ed. at the Coll. of Ste. Therese, and was called to the bar, 1864. While a student he as- sisted in founding Le Colonisateur newspaper, to which he was a con- tributor. After his admission to the bar, he became the law partner of Mr. Mousseau, afterwards Premier of Quebec and a Judge. In 1870, in conjunction with Messrs. Mousseau and Desbarats, he established L' Opin- ion Publique, an illustrated weekly. Of this paper he was the chief ed. He retired from this position owing to his disapproval of the course taken by his associates in reference to the Can. Pac. Ry. transaction. In 1874, he joined Mr. Beausoleil, M. P. , in founding Le Bien Public, which enjoyed a prosperous existence up to the time of his advocacy of the principle of protection, and his entering on a crusade against the Cath. clergy for their interference in political elections. Owing to the combined influences of the Lib. party and the Ch. , the paper succumbed. After this, he became a translator to the Ho. of Commons at Ottawa, being apptd. thereto by the Macken- zie Govt. On Sir John Macdonald's return to power, 1878, he offered to continue Mr. D. in his official posi- tion, but that gentleman declined, preferring to return to his law prac- tice in Montreal. At the same time he published a weekly paper called La Tribune. Mr. D. commenced political life as a Con. , but left that party to join V Union Xationale, an organization of young men pledged to oppose the Confederation of the Provinces. Later, he became a regular mem. of the Lib. party under Dorion, Holton, and Laflamme, and was in full accord with their policy on all questions, save that of protec- tion to native industries, to which he has always been favourable. For many yrs. he has been a personal friend and follower of the present Prime Minister, Sir W. Laurier, and it is believed that he enjoys the con- fidence of that statesman in an espe- cial degree. Mr. D. unsuccessfully contested Hoehelaga, for the Legis- lature, at the g. els. of 1867 and 1875, 242 DAVIDSON. and for the Commons, at the g. e. 1878. He stood also for the Ho. of Commons in Montreal East at the g. e. 1891. He was elected to the Legislature for the last-named constituency (defeating Atty.-Genl. Taillon) at the g. e. 1886, and sat throughout the Parlt. Declining re- nomination in 1890, because he could not accept absolutely the policy of the late Mr. Mercier, he has since remained out of public life. While a mem. of the Legislature he was instrumental in introducing meas- ures for the protection of the wages and furniture of the workingmen, and for the reduction of law costs. In 1888 he was apptd a del. from the Assembly to the French-Can. Na- tional Convention, at Nashua, N. H. In May, 1892, he was elected City Clerk of Montreal, a position he still retains. Mr. D. has done much to foster and strengthen the national spirit in the Province of Quebec. He was Presdt. of the St. Jean Baptiste Soc, Montreal, 1887-8, and laboured for over 12 yrs. towards securing the creation of the national building which it now possesses, and of establishing in connection there- with courses of public lectures for the instruction of the French-Can. people. His published works in- clude : "Biographies et Portraits" (1876), " LesHeros deCIiateauguay" (1883), "Les Patriotes de 1837-38" (1884), "MesContemporains"(1894), "Les deux Papineau " (1896), " Le Clerge Canadien : sa mission et son ceuvre" (do.). In the last-named work the author took strong ground against certain of the R. C. clergy in the Province of Quebec for undue intervention in political matters. The book, though approved by many eminent theologians, was, neverthe- less, condemned by the Congregation of the Index at Rome. He is a Fel- low of the Royal Soc. of Can. In religion, he is a R. C.

He served afterwards as war correspondent for the Irish Times and the London Standard during the Franco-German war, and was wounded at the siege of Montmedy. Being thrown from his horse while hunting in Eng., he came to Can., July, 1872, on sick leave and without any intention of staying. Growing fond of the country, he accepted an offer to join the staff of the Toronto Globe as leader writer on European, literary and social questions. After he became interested in politics he left the Globe, and devoted a whole year to lecturing in various portions of the Dom. He then joined the staff of the Toronto Mail, the chief organ in Can. of the Con. party. He was called to the Ont. bar, 1874, and subsequently to the N.-W. bar, and was created a Q. C. by the Earl of Derby, 1890.

He liked the country, and determined to settle there. In Mch. of the following year, he established the Leader at Regina, the first news- paper ever issued in Assiniboia. The Leader became a power in the land, and remained under Mr. D.'s control for many yrs. Mr. D. has sat for West Assiniboia in the Ho. of Commons since the granting of representation at Ottawa to the Territories, 1887. He has throughout laboured strenu- ously for the promotion of a vigorous immigration policy, the adoption of "Tariff Reform," the encourage- ment of a national sentiment, scientific protection, and a free court for talent. In May, 1895, he moved a resolution declaring that the principle of voting for members of the Commons should be extended to women possessing the qualifica- tions which now entitle men to the electoral franchise (Vote, 47 to 101). He is one of the most scholarly men in Parlt. , being not only a master of the Eng. language, but also well acquainted with Hebrew, Greek, Latin, German, and French. He has sometimes addressed the House in French. It was he who bestowed the nickname "Cabinet of An- 248 DAVIS. tiques," on the Bowell Admn. In 1897 he was chosen Presdt. of the Lib. -Con. Assn. for the N.W.T. In the same year he represented Can. at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee cele- bration, Boston, Mass.

He had pre- viously taken the Duke of Cornwall's scholarship in his second year. Re- turning to Can. , he was engaged for a year in mining surveys in N. S., and in lecturing in Morrin Coll., Quebec. In 1873 he was apptd. Geologist and Botanist to H. M.'s North American Boundary Comn. , engaged in fixing the boundary line from the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mts. In this capacity he served for 2 yrs., and prepared an elaborate report, with plates and maps, on the Geol. and Resources of the Country in the vicinity of the 49th parallel. In connection with this work he also prepared a report on the Lignite Tertiary Formation, a memoir on the Superficial Deposits of the Great Interior Plains of Am., and papers on the Locust Visitation, on the Fresh-water Sponges of Can. , and on the Fluctuations of the Great Am. Lakes. On the termination of his labours on the boundary survey, he was apptd., July, 1875, to the staff of the Geol. Survey of the Dom. He became Asst. Dir. July, 1883, and Dir. and Depty. Head of the Dept. of the Geol. Survey, Jan. 1, 1895. While attending the Sch. of Mines, he devoted special attention to Geol. and Palseont., 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. Survey has been chiefly in B. C. and the N. W. T., and in the discharge of his official duty he has explored a large portion of the western country, including a boat journey of 1,300 miles, with one portage of 50 miles, from the basin of the Liard River to that of the Yukon. One of the most important of his public services was in connec- tion with the Behring Sea arbitra- tion. As one of the Brit. Comnrs., he spent the summer of 1892 in the Behring Sea region, for the purpose of inquiring into the conditions and facts of seal life. The report of the Comnrs. constituted the case of Her Majesty's Govt, on this branch of the subject, and was of great service. For his services on this occasion he received the thanks of H. E. the Gov. -Genl. in Council, and the C.M.G. from Her Majesty. In addi- tion to his official reports, he is the author of a large number of notes and papers on geol. , geograph, and ethnol. subjects, of which a list is given in the "Bibliography of the Royal Soc. of Can." He received the de- gree of LL.D. from Queen's Univ., 1890, and from MeGill Univ., 1891. In the same year he was awarded the Bigsby gold medal by the London Geol.

DAWSON, Sir John William, edu- cationist, geologist and naturalist, is the h. of the late Jas. Dawson, of Pictou, N. S. , and was b. at that place, Oct. 13, 1820. At the age of 12 yrs. the instinct for science, in- herited from his father, had begun to assert itself, and he began making a collection of the fossil plants of the N. S. coal formation. His educa- tion was begun at Pictou Acad, and completed at the Univ. of Edin- burgh. After a winter spent at the latter institution, he accompanied Sir Charles Lyell on his tour through N. S., finished his collegiate course in 1846, and returned home, having already contributed something of importance to the geol. knowledge of his province. In 1850 he was apptd Supt. of Education for N. S. , an office which he held for 3 yrs. He had already made himself promi- nent by the publication of many papers, reports and lectures, on a variety of subjects, characterized by original and valuable research. From this time he became chiefly distinguished in his own province as an indefatigable promoter of edu- cational progress, and a founder of educational institutions. He took an active part in the establishment of a Normal Sch. in N. S. , and in the regulation of the affairs of the Univ. of N. B. About 1852 he re- examined in company with Sir Chas. Lyell the Joggins section, and visited the Albertite deposits at Hillsbor- ough, N.B. He published after his trip papers on the " Structures in Coal" and the "Mode of Accumu- lation of Coal." A few yrs. after this, McGill Univ. was looking for a head, and Dr. D. was secured as Principal and Prof, of Natural His- tory. He took up his task in 1855, and saw the institution grow slowly but surely, from small beginnings to its present important position as a Univ. among the great seats of learning in Am. and Europe. It has been stated that when he took charge, the Coll. management was at the lowest. The Arts and Law courses were highly unsatisfactory, but in a short time there was a great change for the better. Enterprising and influential men of means aided him in his efforts, with the result already described.

He was ordained in the same year, and settled in St. Andrews, P.Q., where he raised up a Bapt. Ch. , and remained its pastor for 16 yrs. In 1864 he went to Port Hope, and afterwards was stationed at Inger- soll, Kincardine, Port Rowan, Den- field and Ailsa Craig, in all of which places he left traces of his active DENISON. 261 and persevering spirit in the work of j the Ch. He was for -15 yrs. Secy. of the Ottawa Bapt. Assn. and of the Mission. Convention, East, from its formation in 1858 to 1864 ; was also Secy, of the Superannuation Soe. , 31 yrs. For many yrs. he was a trustee of the Can. Literary Inst. , Woodstock, and also of the TheoL Bapt. ColL, Toronto. Failing health compelled his withdrawal from the constant work of the ministry, 1889.

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 the 2nd West York Regt., Eng., 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 Gov.-GenTs. Body Guard. He was also prominent in city politics, being a mem. 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 a s., b. at Bellevue, Toronto, 1816. This s., 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 troop. He may be regarded as the father of Toronto's militia, 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 affairs, and was for a long time aid. for St. Patrick's Ward. The subject of this sketch was b. in Toronto, Aug. 31, 1839. He was ed. at U. C. Coll., and graduated LL.B. at Toronto L'niv., 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 late Lt.-CoL F. C. Denison, C.M.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 1S73, he was sent to Eng. by the Govt, of Ont. as a special Comnr. in behalf of immigration. In 1S77 he was apptd. Police Magis- trate for the city of Toronto, an office he still retains. His military service commenced 1855, he being then gazetted cornet in the Gov.- GenTs. Body Guard. He became capt. of bis troop, Apl. 22, 1857, was promoted maj., 1842, and lt.-coL, 1866. Lt.-CoL D. holds a 1st class Cavalry certificate. He was on active service during the Fenian raid, 1866, and commanded the out- posts on the Xiagara river, under CoL (now F. M. Lord) Wolseley, in the autumn of that year. He was again on active service during the X.-W. rebellion, 1885 (mentioned in despatches and medal). He has been a frequent 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 the unity of the Empire. He has published separately : " The Xational De- fences ; or, Observations on the Best Defensive Force for Canada" (1861) ; ' ' Canada, is She Prepared for War ? " (do.); "A Review of the Militia Policy of the Present Administra- tion" (1863); "Manual of Out- post Duties" (1866) ; "The Fenian Raid at Fort Erie" (do.): "Cav- alry Charges at Sedan " (1872) ; "A Visit to Genl. R. E. Lee'' (do.); '■ Modern Cavalry" (Lon., 1868 ; in German, 1869 ; in Russian, 1872 ; in Hungarian, 1831) ; " Canada and Her Relations to the Empire " (Re- 262 DENISON. printed from the Wcsl. Rev., 1895). In 1877 lie won the first prize offered by the Emperor of Russia for the best "History of Cavalry." On this occasion he proceeded to St. Peters- burg, where he remained for two months, and was presented to the Emperor and Empress. The work was published in London the same year, and in Russian and German later, and is now being translated into Japanese by order of the Minis- ter of War of Japan. This achieve- ment was very highly regarded, not alone by Canadians, but by British subjects everywhere. To mark his sense of the author's pluck and ability, the Marquis of Dufferin, at that time Gov. -Genl. of Can. , pre- sented him with a medal suitably inscribed. Among the most im- portant of his public lectures and addresses have been the following : ' ' The Importance of Maintaining the Unity of the Empire " (deliv- ered before the Imp. and Fed. League, Lon., 1890); "The United Empire Loyalists" (1891); "The Opening of the War of 1812 " (do.) ; ' ' National Spirit : its Influence upon Nations" (do.). Lt.-Col. D. has been connected with a large number of national, mil. and patri- otic societies in his native country. He was one of the founders of the ' ' Canada First " party, an organi- zation that did much to shape the destinies of the great North-West, as well as of the Dom. at large. Later, he assisted at the birth of the Hist. Soc. of Ont., and is an hon. mem. of the Women's Can. Hist. Soc. He is also Presdt. of the Dom. Cav. Assn. , and has been Presdt. of the Can. Mil. Inst. On the forma- tion of the Royal Soc. of Can. , 1 882, he was selected by its founder, the Marquis of Lome, to be a mem. of the sec. on Eng. Literature and History, and he was subsequently elected Presdt. thereof. In 1894 he was apptd. a mem. of the Bd. of Trustees of U. C. Coll. In 1893 he was elected Presdt. of the Impl. Federation League in Can., and in the fall of that year the Council of the parent League dissolved. At the next annual meeting of the Can. Branch at Ottawa, Col. D., the Presdt., and a deputation of the League were apptd. to proceed to Eng. in 1894, to urge the reorgani- zation of the League. The mission was very successful. On the 20th July, 1894, the deputation met a 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 of the Brit. Empire League. It is now a powerful organization, with the Duke of Devonshire as Presdt., the Lord Mayor of Lon., the Gov. of the Bank of Eng. , the Dukes of Fife and Rutland, Lords Dufferin, Jersey, Onslow and Brassey, the Rt. Hon. A. G. Balfour and Sidney Buxton as V.-Ps. The Can. branch last year adopted the name of the Brit. Empire League in Can. , and Col. D. was elected Presdt. In 1895 the Govt, of the day paid him the com- pliment of requesting him to unveil the monument erected in commem- oration of the battle of Lundy's Lane, 1814. Col. D. is a mem. of the Ch. of Eng. He has been twice m. : 1st, Jan., 1883, to Caroline, dau. of the late Oliver J. Macklem, Chip- pewa, Ont. (she died Feb., 1885); and 2nd, Dec. , 1887, to Helen, young, dau. of the late Jas. Mair, Perth. Poli- tically, he was b. a Con., but, dis- satisfied with the conduct of the Govt, at the time of the first Red River rebellion, following the princi- ples of the Can. First party, he left the Con., body, contested Al- goma in the Reform interest in 1872 for the Ho. of Commons, and was defeated by the late Hon. J. B. Robinson, by a majority of 80 votes. He has never been a party man, but always a Can. First man ; and in 1891, when the Reform party were coquetting with the U. S. in trade matters, he was vehemently opposed to Com. Union, and advo- cated with intense earnestness the tightening of the bonds with the Empire by a system of Imperial preferential tariffs.

After practising successfully during the intervening time in Montreal, he was apptd. Police Magte. for that city, 1876, and became, two yrs. later, Judge of the Ct. of Sessions for the Dist. of Montreal. He also fills the office of City License Comnr. and Revisor of Provl.

Abra- ham de Sola, LL.D., Montreal, in his lifetime one of the most scholarly- exponents of orthodox Judaism in Am., and was b. in Montreal, May 22, 1853. He early displayed a love for Hebrew and Theol. studies, which were prosecuted under 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 Spanish and Por- tuguese synagogue, Montreal, the senior Jewish cong. , by nearly a cen- tury, inthatcity. Here his father had ministered for a lengthened period, and upon his death, June, 1882, the cong. urged the son to accept the vacant charge. He acceded to their wishes, and thus became the first Jewish min. of Can. birth. In his opening sermon the new pastor ex- pressed in the most explicit manner his determination to uphold the principles of orthodox Judaism, and his subsequent career has proved the sincerity of his words. He is recognized as the leader of the orthodox majority of the community, 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- ples of reformed Judaism. His sermon upon the occasion led a portion of the ordinary press to de- nounce his opinions as "Inger- sollism with a vengeance," but he is content to take as his motto, " De- lenda est 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 Rabbi to occupy his pulpit, and his sermon then delivered oreated a most favourable impres- sion. Another sermon, in N. Y., was subsequently published in pamphlet form, and its copious notes and references were declared by the Jewish press in Eng. to be a valuable contribution to the history of Jewish reform in Am. He has often been subjected to bitter attack, both in the U. S. and in Eng. , but he seems quite indifferent to his assailants. Having a cause to plead, he pleads it apparently without fear or favour. He has received several calls to positions that would be more re- munerative to him, but he has so far steadfastly refused to leave his father's old cong. While he assum- ed his present position 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 pulpit. An accomplished musician, he has instructed the cong. choir for more than 20 yrs. , and, under his guidance the numerous responses are sung by the cong. and choir. He m. 1887, Katie, dau. of the Rev.

Since then he has occupied a super- annuated relation. Throughout his long career Dr. D. (he received the degree of D.D. from Victoria Univ. , 1879) has rendered important and valuable services to his Ch. and country. In 1873 he was elected, in conjunction with the late Rev. Dr. Nelles, to arrange with the parent conf. in Eng. terms of settlement arising from the union of the Wesl. Meth., New Connexion and chs. of the Eastern Brit. Am., Conf. In 1881 he was a mem. of the great Ecumenical Meth. Conf. in London, and also of a similar conf. held in Washington, 1891. He advocated a new hymn book, and took a leading part in compiling and editing the same, his poetical taste being of especial value. He has always been an ardent prohibitionist, and in 1880 was elected Presdt. of the Ont. branch of the Dom. Alliance. He is still a mem. of the Ex. Comte. of that body. Two yra. afterwards he became Presdt. of the Toronto Conf. In 1889 he was chosen Presdt. of the Can. Press. Assn. He strongly advocated Meth. Union in the Guar- dian, and though dissenting from some provisions in the basis, has heartily and loyally laboured to make the union a success. Believ- ing that the cause of higher educa- tion in the Meth. Ch. and through- out the country would be benefited by the federation of Victoria Univ. with the Univ. of Toronto, he strongly advocated that union, in season and out of season. His first literary attempt of importance was an essay against the use of tobacco by Christians, which won for him a gold watch against a number of competitors. He has at different periods published volumes and pam- phlets, some of which are : ' ' The True Church, " " Broken Reeds, " "Way Marks," "Priestly Preten- sions Disproved," " Spurious Cath- olicity," " The Development of Doc- trine," "Jesus the Messiah," "Storm Signals," "Misleading Lights," and ' ' Living Epistles.

E. , to take charge of the survey party selected 268 DEWEY — DICKEY. to lay out the town of New West- minster. For many yrs. subsequent to the completion of this work, he was employed in a professional capacity, devoting much of his time to the exploration of those portions of the Province which were at that time comparatively little known. Almost from the time of his arrival he took an active interest in public affairs; he became a leader among the people, and in 1869, without his knowledge or solicitation, was elected to the Legislature. In 1872, after the entry of the Province into the Dom. , he was returned to the Ho. of Commons. He sat there as a supporter of Sir John Macdonald, being one of his "Old Guard" during the 5 yrs. he was in opposition, up to 1879. In the early part of that year he was apptd. Indian Comnr. for the N.W.T. In Dec, 1881, he was apptd. Lt. -Gov. of the North- West, and held the office conjointly with that of Indian Comnr. until called to the Cabinet, as Mr. of the Interior and Supdt. of Indian Affairs, in succession to the late Hon. Thos. White, Aug. 3, 1888. It was during his stay in the N. W. T. that the Riel Rebellion, 1885, occurred, and it has been stated by one or more of his biographers that his personal influence over certain of the Indian tribes, at that momentous period, held them in check and made them strong allies of the Federal Govt. After Sir John Macdonald's death, he was continued in office under Sir John Abbott, up to Oct. 16, 1892, when he retired from the Cabinet. In Nov. following, he was apptd. Lt. -Gov. of B.

S. to the Colonial office, London, in 1858, and again in 1865, respecting the Intercol. Ry. He was also a del. to the Charlottetown and to the Quebec Confs. on Confederation, 1864. He declined to subscribe to the Quebec resolutions, on the ground that the financial terms were inadequate to the Maritime Provinces, owing to insufficient subsidies. When this objection was partly removed by the substantial additional subsidies conceded at the London Conf., 1866, he voted in the Legislature for Con- federation, trusting to get "better terms " afterwards, which were granted in 1869. He yielded a general support to the Con. party DICKEY. 269 while in office, but has occasionally opposed their measures when he could not conscientiously approve of them, his objections being upheld by subsequent events.

In 1858 the family removed to Lansing, Mich. , and there in the public schs. young D. secured the groundwork of his education, afterwards enter- ing Albion-Coll. (M.S., 1872). For 4 yrs. he was Supt. of the City Schs. at Hastings, Mich., and from 1877 to 1888 was Prof, of Astron. and Physics at his Alma Mater. He at- tained great popularity as a teacher, and had a strong hold on all students whose privilege it was to listen to his instruction. When in 1872 he reached his majority, and a choice of political affiliations was to be made, he was compelled by the reso- lution incorporated as the 16th plank of the Rep. platform of that year, to side with the Prohibitionists, with which party he has since voted on all national and state issues. Dur- ing the session of the National Pro- hibition Convention held in Pitts- burg, 1884, he occupied the chair, and, in 1886, he was the Prohibition candidate for Gov. in Michigan, poll- ing a third more votes than were polled by St. John as Presidential candidate 2 yrs. previous. In 1887 he managed the campaign on the question of placing an amendment in the Michigan Constitution pro- hibiting the manufacture and sale of liquor in the State. His conduct of that campaign fixed the eyes of the Prohibition party of the U. S. upon him, and they showed their 270 DICKSON — DIGBY. high appreciation of his ability by- electing him Chairman of the Na- tional Comte. of the party to suc- ceed John B.

Mr. Justice Doherty's treatment of the question is extremely able, and ap- plying but one, though not an unim- portant, test to the judgment, it may be said that there is not a single position taken by the learned judge in laying down the principles of law which serve as the basis of the decision, to which an enlightened mem. of any religious denomination, be he Roman Catholic or Anglican, Presbyterian or Methodist, Congre- gationalist or Jew, can reasonably take exception The absolute equality before the 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. The 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.

' ' Per- haps," says the Ottawa Journal, ' ' one hardly goes too far in saying that no other newspaper in this country, even it may be on this continent, has been conducted from the beginning with more resolute honesty, independence, and desire to be just and right than the Mont- real Witness. The success of the paper is an evidence of the fact, that character counts for success in journalism. The paper has always refused advertisements of theatres, hotels, operas, lotteries, doubtful medical schemes, and other an- nouncements which usually pay well. In its career it has been ex- communicated, or at least placed under the ban, by the R. C. Ch. Most dangerous of all, there has been in competition in Montreal with the Witness for 25 yrs. another evening journal, probably as shrewd and well managed a newspaper en- terprise as there is in Can. Never- theless, the Witness has prospered steadily, nor is it too much to say that the mainspring of its prosperity has been public confidence in its motives and character." Like his father, Mr. D. has been prominently identified with the Temp, cause, and has been for several yrs. the V.-P. for Quebec of the Dom. Alli- ance and Presdt. of the Quebec branch of the Dom. Alliance. He was also a mem. of the business Comte. of the National Prohibition Convention, 1894. He is a V.-P. of the Montreal branch of the Evangel. Alliance, a gov. of the Montreal Dispensary, and is closely connected with other local socs. and institutions, including the Citizen's League, organized for the promotion of good govt, in the administration of municipal affairs. Mr. D. , politi- cally, is an Ind. Lib. ; in religious be- lief, a Cong., and, in 1895, succeeded the late Rev. Dr. Cornish as Presdt. of the Bd. of Dirs. of the Cong. Coll. , Montreal.

She spent her childhood in Montreal, and her girlhood in N. Y. Of late yrs. she has travelled much, living occasionally at Edinburgh, in Scot., or in Derbyshire and other portions of Eng. When at Chelten- ham, 1888, she met Miss M. S. Earp, of Melbourne, Derbyshire, who has since helped her in her literary work. Can. usually furnishes the background for her tales. Of these the best known are : ' ' Beggars All " (1891), " What Necessity Knows " (1893), "The Mermaid; a Love Tale" (1895), "The Zeist Geist" (do.), " A Question of Eaith" (do.), and " The Madonna of a Day " (1896). The latter appeared origin- ally in Temple Bar. All her books have been well received by the press and public, and she may be now regarded as one of the popular novelists of the day. ' ' Beggars All" has been pronounced by the Academy as the most startlingly original story that has been pub- lished within recent yrs. "The Mermaid" is said to take rank with Crockett's "Lilac Sunbonnet," while " The Madonna of a Day " is said to be unequalled as a picture of the "New Woman," — 67 Braid Road, Edinburgh, Scot. " She has earned a standing in the liter- ary world that should be a matter of pride to every Canadian." — Week. DOUGHTY, Arthur George, poet and essayist, wasb. at Maidenhead, Eng., Mch. 22, 1860, and ed. at Lord Eldon Sch. , London, at New Inn Hall, Ox- ford, and at Dickinson Coll., Car- lisle (M.A., 1890). He was at one time, with a view of entering the 280 DOUGLAS. Ch., associated with All Hallows' Mission, Southwark, London, S.E., under the Rev. Geo. Berkeley and the Sisters of St. John Baptist, Clewes. Since his residence in Montreal he has been engaged in literary work, especially in musical and dramatic criticism, besides con- tributing occasional short stories and poems to the local press. He pub- lished, 1887, a shorthand version of Tennyson's "In Memoriam," and in 1889 an elaborate edition of the " Idylls of the King," in shorthand, illustrated with 7 original drawings by H. Sandham, R.C.A.. This work was sold for $10 per copy, and obtained a silver medal at Jamaica, 1891. In 1893 he published, through the Chiswick Press, London, a volume entitled, " Tennyson, his Life and Works," containing a bio- graphical sketch, an analysis of " In Memoriam," the " Idylls of the King," and "The Foresters," to- gether with a short review of the "Death of CEnone. In 1894 he wrote the libretto of the comic opera " Bonnie Prince Charlie," the music of which was composed by R. F. Liebich, and produced at the Queen's Theatre, Montreal, May 26, 1894, 8 performances being given. In June, 1894, he published, through the Chiswick Press, a volume of simple verse entitled, " Rose Leaves," and in 1896 he published, beautifully illustrated, "The Song Story of Francesco and Beatrice." He has also published several songs in conjunction with M. Liebich, the latest being a lullaby in honour of the birth of a son to the Duke of York, June 23, 1894. It may be added, that the lines on Sir John Macdonald, read on the occasion of the unveiling of the Montreal monument to that statesman, June 6, 1895, were writ- ten by Mr. D. He has 3 new works now ready for the press, one of which is a history of Vancouver, B.C. He is a Fellow of the Royal Col. Inst. , a mem. of the Ch of Eng. , and m.

Dr. D. was decorated with the Victoria Cross, together with four privates of the 24th Regt., under the circum- stances detailed in "Hart's Army List": "For the very gallant and daring manner in which, on the 7th May, 1867, they risked their lives in manning a boat and proceeding through a dangerous reef to the rescue of some of their comrades, who formed part of an expedition which had been sent to the island of little Andaman, by order of the chief Comnr. of Brit. Burmah, with the view of ascertaining the fate of the commander and 7 of the crew of the ship Assam Valley, who had land- ed there, and were supposed to have been murdered by the natives. The officer who commanded the troops on the occasion reports : ' About an hour later in the day, Dr. Douglas, 2nd Batt. 24th Regt., and the 4 privates referred to, gallantly man- ning the second gig, made their way through the surf almost to the shore, but finding their boat was half filled with water, they retired. A second attempt made by Dr. Douglas and party proved successful, 5 of us be- ing safely passed through the surf to the boats outside. A third and last trip got the whole of the party left on shore safe to the boats.' It is stated that Dr. Douglas accomplished these trips through the surf to the shore by no ordinary exertion. He stood in the bows of the boat and worked her in an intrepid and sea- manlike manner, cool to a degree, as if what he was then doing was an ordinary act of every -day life. The 4 privates behaved in an equally cool and collected manner, rowing through the roughest surf, when the slightest hesitation or want of pluck on the part of any one of them, would have been attended by the gravest results. It is reported that 17 officers and men were thus saved from what must otherwise have been a fearful risk, if not certainty of death." Dr. D. holds also the silver medal of the Royal Humane Soc, and the cross of the Order of Knights Templar of Jerusalem. — Quay Wall, Berwick-on- Tweed, Eng.

He was ed. at Edinburgh High Sch. 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 from the first, but had to be closed down in 1874, owing to the tariff changes of the Mackenzie govt. Before resuming operations in 1879 — 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.-P. 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.

He became, also, Presdt. of the co. owning and de- veloping the coal and iron mines at Londonderry, N. S. , and is connected 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 one of the provisional trus- tees of the Victoria Order of Nurses, 1897. A Con. in politics, he unsuc- cessfully contested Montreal West for the Ho. of Commons with the late Hon. John Young, g. e. 1872, and was called to the Senate of Can. , by the Marquis of Lome, 1880. He was one of the originators of the Citizens' League, Montreal, founded some , 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 been twice m., 1st, 1857, to Helen, dau. of the late John Red- path (she d.); and 2ndly, 1884, to Grace Julia, relict of the late Geo. Hamilton, and dau. of the late A. Davidson Parker, Montreal. Some yrs. ago Mr. D. founded the Home for Incurables, Montreal, which was opened 1894, 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- ward 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 Montreal. 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 distinguished 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/ the Canadian C 0U Beil DRUMMOND. 287 ever hang with eagerness on her words."— 874 Sherbrooke St., Mont- real ; St. James's Club, do ; Rideau Club, Ottawa; Reform Club, London, Eng. ; Manhattan Club, N.

He is of opinion that " No man is a true Can. who is un- fair to Catholics and French-Cana- dians. The typical Can. is fully in touch with the French element, and just to all nationalities. We Cana- dians ought to be the fairest and most enlightened people in the world. Near enough to Europe to have its culture and depth, near enough to the U. S. to share their activity and breadth, we have all the advantages of political union with an Imperial race and yet none of the insularity of that race.

Miss Adelia Woodmann, Wolfville, N.S. — 21 Durocher St. , Montreal. EATON, Rev. Arthur "Wentworth Hamilton (Epis.), author, was b. at Kentville, N. S. , and is the s. of the late W'm. Eaton, a gentleman well known in connection with the edu- cational system of N. S. , and as holding many public positions, by his wife, Anna Augusta Willoughby Hamilton, a descendant of a well known mil. branch of the famous Scottish Hamiltons. Mr. E. was ed. at first under his father's direction, and afterwards in the U. S. , where the greater part of his active life has been spent. He graduated from Harvard Univ. , in the class of 1 880, and after a thorough course of theol. study, during which he was much engaged in literary work, he was admitted, June 1884, to deacon's orders in the Prot. Ep. Ch. , by Bp. Knickerbocker, of Indiana, in whose 300 EATON. diocese he had previously done 6 months of clerical duty. Ordained to the diaconate, he returned 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. city, was apptd. rector's asst. to the Rev. Dr. Rylance, at old St. Mark's-in-the-Bowery, 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, Mass. , 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. , where he gave himself ener- getically to literary work, taking Sunday duty, however, constantly, in important parishes in or near the city. About this time a new im- gulse was given, chiefly by Harvard oil. , to the teaching of Eng. in pre- paratory schs. , and Mr. E. , who had always had much enthusiasm 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 seh. 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. E. 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 he likewise con- tinues to be deeply interested ; his ability as a preacher is freely recog- nized, his sermons being said 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. 's 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 been 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 boyhood, it is not strange that his first published book should be a volume of connected theol. essays. This book, known as " The Heart of the Creeds ; 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 Brooks 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 unstintedly by literary critics like E. C. Stedman. Mr. E.'s second published work was a volume of poems, entitled "Acadian Legends and Lyrics," which showed a wide range of poetical feeling, and a fine control of musical speech. The book contains some legendary poems of interest, and many beautiful lyrics, and has had a steady sale. This volume, which first appeared, 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 Garrison Town," collaborated with C. L. Betts (q.v.). Mr. E.'s poems have gone into several anthologies, like "Poets of the Great Dominion," "Younger American Poets," and ' ' Poems of Wild Life. " In his in- troduction to "Younger Ameri- can Poets," Douglas Sladen says : "Eaton, I think, has been the most happy of the Canadians in treating their national legends. There are few writers in the U. S. who equal him in this respect. This volume, "Acadian Legends and Lyrics," though only recently issued, is one of the best yet produced by a Cana- EATON — EBERTS. 301 dian, with a fine Longfellow-like vein running through it." Mr. E.'s name is to be found in Sted- man's ' ' Library of American Liter- ature," though only in a subordinate way. A sketch of his life is there given, and he is represented by one or two of his poems. The reason for his not occupying a more prominent place is that he is a Can. by birth, and that, although most of his life has been spent, and all his work done, in the U. S., Can. literature claims him. A great deal of his leisure time has been spent by Mr. E. on local history and genealogy. In the field of family history he has been known as one of the most patient and accurate students in the U. S. , and in this dept. he has pub- lished much, both in book form and in periodicals. He has been a mem. of both the New Eng. and N. Y. Genealogical Societies, and at one time he held the honorary office in the N. Y. Soc. of "Registrar of Pedi- grees." In private life Mr. E. is favourably known. He has unusual personal magnetism, and his life in N. 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 terms of close friendship, and his acquaintance in the ministry of his Ch. is naturally very large. He has never m. It is understood that he has now in pre- paration, among other literary works, a " History of the People of Nova Scotia."— SO East 50th St., New York. EATON, Brenton Halliburton, was b. at Cornwallis, N.S., Aug. 8, 1837, and ed. at Acadia Coll. (B.A. , 1859; M.A.,1862). Called to the bar, 1864, he has since practised his profession at Halifax, and was created a Q. C, by the Marquis of Lansdowne, 1884. In 1885 he was apptd. R. 0. for Co. of Halifax under the E. F.

Inst. , and began to preach at the age of 18. He has preached in every large city in Eastern Can. and throughout New Eng. Mr. E. was ordained pastor of the 1st Bapt. Ch., Natick, Mass., June, 1893. He spent the summer of 1894 in Europe, and the summer of 1895, preaching in London, Eng. At the age of 22 he was called to lecture and write in Boston in the historical struggle for unsectarian schs. In Sept. , 1895, he was called to Toronto to succeed Chancellor Wallace, as pastor of Bloor St. Bapt. Ch. While at coll., he was ed. of the Univ. paper ; since then he has been a frequent contributor to the press, a series of articles from his pen for a Bostou paper descrip- tive of his visit to Eng., drawing much favourable comment. In To- ronto he has lectured on a variety of topics, including ' ' Our Kith and Kin beyond the Sea," " The Reign of the Common People,'' and " Can. Independence." While in Eng., 1896, he wrote for the Toronto Globe a series of letters describing the present aspect of affairs in the Mother Country. He was one of the founders and first Presdt. of the New Eng.

En- tering the ministry, 1867, he was ordained, 1871, and from that time until 1876 was engaged in German mission work. Proceeding to Japan in the latter year as head of the Can. Meth. mission, he successfully established a conf. in connection with Can. Methodism in that country and secured the erection of a Cen- tral Tabernacle at Tokio, for the services of the mission, which is acknowledged to be the lar- gest and finest Prot. Ch. in Ja- pan. While in that country, he also lectured in their language to the educated youth of the capi- tal, wrote pamphlets, and edited for 2 yrs. the Chrysanthemum Mag. Returning to Can., invalided, 1894, he accepted a call to Homer St. Meth. Ch., Vancouver, B.C., in succession to the Rev. Coverdale Watson, May, 1896, where he still is.

B. on his father's farm near Bristol, Vt. , U.S., Aug. 22, 1827, he was ed. at the Dist. Sch., and commenced his business career in N. Y. city. Removing to Burlington, Vt., he embarked in the manufacture of friction matches, 1851. In 1854, he came to Hull, P.Q. , where he erected extensive shops and warehouses and became the largest manufacturer of matches in the Brit. Provinces. In 1856, he added to his business the manufac- ture of woodenware, and more re- cently (1892) the manufacture of paper. His combined establish- ment is now among the very largest and most flourishing in the world, and furnishes employment to over 2000 hands. In 1886, Mr. E. found it desirable to form a joint-stock co., since when the various branches of his business have been carried on under the name of " The E. B.

Secy. Edgar's acts of devotion and constancy to his royal master are matters of history. Mr. E. has in his possession a large col- lection of priceless heirlooms, con- sisting of portraits and miniatures of the Stuarts, and a gold snuff box, the gifts of the Chevalier, a locket containing Prince Charlie's hair, two brace of pistols and the ribbon of the garter worn by the Prince in the rising of 1745, and all given by him or by his bro., the Cardinal Duke of York, to their father's faithful secy. (See " The Scottish House of Edgar," edited by a Comte. of the Grampian Club, London, 1873.) B. at Hatley, P.Q., Aug. 10, 1841, he received his ed. at Lennoxville and at the city of Quebec. Moving West, he read with Rev. G. D. Mackenzie, at George- town, for a year, and then studied law under the late Hon. John Hillyard Cameron, Q.C., and was called to the bar 1864. He practised in Toronto in partnership with the present Chief -Justice of Can., Sir Henry Strong, and afterward with the late Fred. Fenton, Co. Atty. At present, he is head of the law firm of Edgar and Malone. He was created a Q.C. by the Ont. Govt., 1890. While a young man, he served as legal ed. of the Toronto Globe and- of tie- Montreal Trade Review — he also published an annotated edition of the Insolvent Act, 1864, with decisions — as well as several other law publications, and wrote on general questions for the public press. He was early elected Presdt. of the Ont. Literary Soc, an assn. which included in its membership the flower and promise of western Can. manhood. A Lib. politically, he was nominated in that interest to stand for the repre- sentation of Monck, in the Prov. Legislature, at the g. e. 1871, and was defeated by 4 votes. In the following year he was returned for the same constituency to the Ho. of Commons and sat in that body until the close of the Parlt. At his first session he was apptd. chief Lib. " Whip," and it was he who mar- shalled the hosts of the opposition during the political crisis of 1873-74, culminating in the downfall of Sir John Macdonald's first Dom. cabinet. At the ensuing general elections he met with defeat on going back for re- election — but although out of Parlt. he was not allowed to remain idle. He was offered and accepted a poli- tical mission to B. C. in connection with the question of the construction of the Can. Pac. Ry. , and acquitted himself, as history records, " with rare diplomatic skill." Defeated again in Monck, at the g. e. 1882, by a majority of 1, he remained out of Parlt. until Aug. , 1884, when at a bye-election he was returned for West Ontario by acclamation. At this time he had been for some 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 elected by accla- mation. On Mch. 24, 1897, he was sworn of the Queen's Privy Council, together with the preceding speaker, 304 EDWARDS. Peter White. As a legislator Mr. E. has had to do with a number of questions of the first importance, chief among which may be mentioned Can. Copyright, the discussion on which was opened by him in 1S85. He introduced the question again 1886, moving on that occasion that an address be presented to the Queen embodying a statement of the grievances of the local publishers, and it was principally owing to his continued efforts and agitation that the Can. Copyright Act was finally brought in and passed 1889. In 1894 he took up the question of Intern. Arbitration with a view of securing a permanent state of peace in the great Eng. -speaking world. His speech on this occasion was regarded as " one of the most eloquent and suggestive ever heard in Parlia- ment," and led at once to the adop- tion by acclamation of the resolution prepared by him. As a party man, he acted with Mr. Tarte, in the session of 1891, in conducting the Connolly-McGreevy investigation. Afterward he was given charge of the impeachment of Sir Adolphe Caron, and also of the prosecution of the charges against Mr. Turcotte, M.P. In the discussion of the trade question he took an active part in exposing the operations of the cotton combine. In addition to his other literary efforts, he has published a volume of poems : " This Canada of Ours and Other Poems," (Toronto, 1893), and has been declared by Frechette to be "a poet of excep- tional merit who captivates by his elevation of thought, charm of ex- pression and faultless good taste." In 1897 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Soc. of Can. Mr. E. is a mem. of the Ch. of Eng. He m. Sept., 1865, Matilda, 2nd dau. of the late Thos. G.

Cartier, for Jacques Cartier, at the Dom. g. c. 1872, but was de- feated by his opponent, the late Hon. R. Laflamme, Q.C, by 48 votes. He was again defeated on presenting himself in Beauharnois at the g. e. 1874. Returning to Jacques Cartier in 1876, when he was defeated by 28 votes, and again 1878, he won the seat 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 up to the close of his Parliamentary career, 1896, being re-elected at GIROUARD. 383 every recurring g. e. He especially distinguished himself in connection with the Deceased Wife's Sister Bill, which he introduced 2 ses- sions and finally carried, after a pro- longed debate and the most strenu- ous opposition, 1SS2. Although one of the staunchest supporters of the Con. Govt., he took a leading part in the movement against the execution of Riel, on the ground of insanity, and with 16 other French Con. mem. constituted for a time a separate group of the party known as the " Bolters. " His letter, pub- lished Nov., 18S5, in answer to the defence of the Govt, by Sir Alex. Campbell, was widely circulated and noticed. He was Chairman of the Standing Comte. on Privileges and Elections, and in that capacity presided in the Langevin-MeGreevy case, 1S91, at 104 sittings of the comte. No exception was taken to any of his numerous decisions in this lengthy case, and on the presenta- tion of the report of the comte. to the Ho. , Mr. G. was complimented by leading mems. of the Opposition for the impartial spirit evinced by him throughout. Besides his work on Bills of Exchange (1S60), Mr. G. wrote an essay on the Insolvent Act of 1S64, and " Considerations sur les lois civiles du mariage " (1868). He was a contributor to La Bei: Can., to La Sev. Critique (which he conducted with the late W. H. Kerr, Q.C. ), to La Sev. de Droit In- tern., and to La Minerve. As a student he lectured successfully be- fore L'Inst. Can. Francais and the Cabinet de Lee. Paroissial. His most important contributions to Can. literature (and in acknowledg- ment of which he was presented with the Confederation RIedal by the Earl of Aberdeen), were made during recent yrs. As the result of long and patient research in the ancient archives of the country, he began, 1S89, the publication of a series of essays dealing with the earlier history of some portions of the dist. of Montreal. These were largely translated from the French, and were embodied in a handsome volume which was given to the pub- lic in the year of the World's Fair, 1S93, under the title of " Lake St. Louis, Old and New, Illustrated, and Cavalier de la Salle." Of this work it has been said that " more light is thrown upon the history of the early settlement of Montreal Island, the first inhabitants of the dist., and the Indian wars of the period than had previously been afforded by any Eng. or French-speaking historian." Since its appearance he has publish- ed "Les Anciens Postes du Lac Saint Louis." Mr. G. was raised to the bench as a Judge of the Su- preme Ct. of Can., Sept. 28, 1895. In religion he is a R. C.

Called to the bar in the following year, he entered his father's law firm, and on the lat- ter's elevation to the bench, remained with the other partners, the firm name now being Foster, Martin & Girouard. Of marked literary tastes, he gave material assistance to his father in his literary labours, he being joint author with him in 1890 of a new edition of his work on bills of exchange, and, in 1893, translat- ing from the French his monumental work, " Lake St. Louis, Old and New, and Cavalier de La Salle." In Oct., 1895, he declined the Con. 384 GIROUARD — GLASS. nomination for the representation of Jacques Cartier in the Ho. of Com- mons. He is a R. C. in religion, and m.

Ed. at Hellmuth Coll. and at Toronto Univ., he was called to the Ont. bar, 1878, and to the bar of Man., 1882, and while at Winnipeg en- joyed a large and lucrative practice. Mr. G. was the successful counsel for the appellant in the well-known case of Atty. -Genl. vs. Fonseca, ar- gued at Ottawa before the Supreme Ct. of Can., where various compli- cated questions affecting titles to land in Man. were finally settled. In 1879 and 1880 Mr. G. made a tour of the world, and on his return published: "The World, Round It and Over It. " The book had a wide sale, both in its first and second editions, and was criticized very favourably by the Can., Eng. and Am. press. The N. Y. Herald pro- nounced him "a keen and intelli- gent observer and a pleasant writer. " During his tour he visited nearly every country in the globe, and his broad-minded and ready impressions of men and things are embodied in the volume referred to. In 1889 he removed to the city of Spokane, where he now resides, practising his profession, and where he has large GLASS. 385 property and railway interests. He m.

Glass, who came to Can., 1819. His ancestors came from Scot, to the north of Irel., and settled at Loch Glass, 1607. B. in the Tp. of Westminster, Ont., July 1, 1840, he was ed. at the London Grammar Sch., and with James Thompson, the well-known classical teacher. He was called to the bar, 1864, and practised for some yrs. in London, Ont., where his firm conducted an extensive and varied business. He defended Jones in the Delaware murder trial ; Thos. Coyle, in the Nissouri murder case ; and Smith in the Sombra murder trial, at Sarnia. ' He also defended Wilson, in the celebrated arson trial, at Windsor, Ont. Mr. G. entered the London City Council, 1855, re- maining as aid. until 1858, when he was elected to ,the Mayoralty by a unanimous vote. At the end of his term of office he was presented by the corporation with a silver tea service. He was subsequently twice elected to the Mayoralty by a vote of the people. He also filled the office of Police Magistrate and Judge of the Recorder's Court at London, and was Depty. Judge of the Co. of Middlesex. Created a Q. C. by the Ont. Govt., 1876, he was elected a bencher of the Law Soc. of Ont., 1 880. Removing to Winnipeg, 1882, he was called to the bar of Man. , May, 1882, and was soon after apptd. Solicitor for the City of Winnipeg, in which city he enjoyed a large and lucrative practice in partnership with his son, Chester Glass. In 1872, he was elected in the Con. in- terest, to the Ho. of Commons, for East Middlesex, and sat in that house during the ensuing Parlt. In Oct. , 1873, he, with 13 other supporters, opposed Sir John Macdonald's Govt, on what was known as the ' ' Pacific Railway Scandal." His speech in the House on that occasion was re- 26 ported in pamphlet form, and had a very wide circulation everywhere. There was no invective against the Govt, in his remarks, but an argu- ment upon the constitutional ques- tions before the Ho. The great speech of Sir Donald Smith soon followed, and the Govt, resigned on Nov. 5, 1873. In 1886 Mr. G. was elected for St. Clements, in Man., and soon after, by a unanimous vote, was chosen Speaker of the Legisla- tive Assembly, which office he filled to the end of the Parlt. While occupying the dual position of city solicitor and Speaker of the As- sembly, he had an attack of muscu- lar rheumatism. His doctors ad- vised a discontinuance of sedentary employment. For 2 succeeding yrs. he spent most of the time on the salt water, and became completely restored to robust health. In 1889 he visited the Paris Expsn. , and in 1890 and 1891, passed a large part of his time in N. Y. and Boston, and the neighbouring seaport towns. He has made a special study of the world's expositions, since the first one held in Hyde Park, London, 1851, under the auspices of the late Prince Consort. In 1853 he at- tended the World's Fair at N. Y., and in 1876 the World's Fair at Philadelphia, and the Paris Expsn. in 1889. He attended the Chicago Expsn., 1893, on 2 different occa- sions, in order to make a special study thereof. He is at present preparing a book for publication on the subject of these several exposi- tions. Mr. G. always had a fond- ness for travel. When he was 20 yrs. of age he visited the W. I. Islands, 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 Zacatacas. He was struck with the similarity of the moun- tainous dist. in B. C. to those of Zacatacas in Mexico. But the Kaslo and Sloean mining dist. of B. C. are much richer and more extensive ; the ore there yielding over |100 per ton. During 1894 he 386 GLEN — GLOBENSKY. went over B. C, north, south, east and west. He is of opinion that this Province, with its wealth in minerals, timbers, fisheries and other resources, is destined to be the key- stone in the great arch of Brit. Am. , and that the distinguished men con- nected with the Can. Pac. Ry. , tho ry. itself, and its excellent manage- ment, constitute the most important feature in the whole Colonial Em- pire. In 1864, after an interview with Presdt. Lincoln, at Washing- ton, Mr. G. gave his impressions of that great man in the London Free Press, and afterwards presided at a mass meeting at London, to give ex- pression to the public abhorrence of his assasination. In 1860 he joined the Masonic order, and soon after became master of his mother lodge and mem. of the Grand Lodge of Can. , but his chief field of Masonio research has been in the Scottish Rite, where he has taken 32°, and has visited some of the finest lodges in the world. In 1893, at the Chi- cago World's Fair, he was one who attended the World's Congress of Masonry at the Masonic Temple. In 1880, Mr. G. took an active part in obtaining funds for the relief of distress in Irel. He delivered a lecture at Chatham, subject, ' 'Roths- child, King of Gold." The pro- ceeds, one hundred pounds sterling, were the same night cabled to Dub- lin. On that occasion Mr. G. was entertained at dinner by the corpo- ration and other leading men of that city. He is also a warm advocate of Imp. Federation. He is now living at Rossland, though his P. 0. address is Winnipeg, where he is Presdt. of the Delaware Mining and Milling Co. A mem. of the Ang. Ch., he m. Dec, 1852, Sarah, 2nd dau. of the late Hy. Dalton. — Win- nipeg, Man. GLEN, Franois Wayland, ex-legis- lator, of Scotch descent, is the s. of Hon. E. M. K. Glen, of Rochester, N.Y. B. at Albany, N.Y., he was ed. at Rochester, and in 1863, m. there the dau. of the late Joseph Hall, founder of the Joseph Hall Ag. Implement Works, Oshawa, Ont. Coming to Can. after his marriage, he assumed the management of the Hall shops and works. Politically, a Lib. , he was returned in that in- terest to the Ho. of Commons, for South Ontario, at the g. e. 1878, and continued to hold the seat up to the close of the 6th Parlt., 1887. Afterwards he returned to the U. S. , where he has written frequently for the N. Y. Advertiser, the N. Y. Sun and other papers, favouring the entry of Can. into the Am. Union. It is believed that he also inspired, or endeavoured to inspire, legislation to that end, in the U. S. Congress. In Mch., 1895, he announced the forthcoming publication of "The History of the Admn. of Sir John A. Macdonald and his successors, from 1870 to 1895;" and in Aug., 1896, he published an open letter addressed to ' ' The True Liberals of Can.," containing certain serious allegations against some of the Con. leaders of the Dom. — Brooklyn, N.

In 1882 he founded In- surance Society, now called The Ins. and Financial Chronicle (Montreal), but his chief work has consisted in establishing a series of insur. sur- veys of cities in Can., the Brit. Isles, the West Indies and South Africa, which have been found of great service and utility to those interested. In Mar., 1896, he read a paper on the subject before the Insur. Inst, of Irel.

Ed. at the Gram- 388 GOGGIN — GOOD. mar Sch., London, Ont., he, while quite young, passed through a deep spiritual experience, which resulted in his consecration to the ministry. After graduating at Knox Coll., 1887, his attention was directed to foreign missions. Mainly through his influence the subject engaged the consideration of the Alumni of Knox Coll. , who, at the conclusion of his course there, decided to sup- port him in the China Mission field, which they have continued to do since his appt. thereto, Jan., 1888. The site of Mr. G. 's mission is North Honan, and since his arrival he has laboured there with the most suc- cessful results. He is described as evincing courage, discretion and untiring energy, in the prosecution of his work, and is ably seconded by his wife, the youngest dau. of J. Bell-Smith, the well-known artist, of Toronto. Before leaving Can., Mr. G. visited many of the Presb. congs. in Ont., and did much in the way of stirring up an interest in the work undertaken by him and others. His addresses were said to have bristled with facts and to have been delivered with an enthusiasm that profoundly moved his audiences. — North Honan, China.

Leaving Can. at an early age, he was ed. at Paris, London and Manchester. After a 5 years' apprenticeship he gained a Whitworth scholarship, 1875, valued at £100 per annum, and tenable for 3 yrs., besides carrying off other prizes each yr. in his other exams. One of his first professional engage- ments was under Sir John Fowler, Bart. , where he filled the important position of Chief Insp. for all work sent to New South Wales, for whose Govt. Sir J. F. was consulting engr. He was next employed with Hon. F. Cadogan, London, and the Prince de Sagan of France, to carry out a series of experiments, in the applica- tion of superheated steam to loco- motives, which was done on the G. E. Ry. After that he was busy with cold-air refrigerating machin- ery, the first cold storage chambers at the Victoria docks being built and fitted under his immediate su- pervision, as also the fitting up of several steamers with similar plant. In 1881 he started business as a consulting and supervising engr., which he has carried on up to date in Eng. and on the continent with equal success. Among the important works of which he has had charge have been the construction of the Eveleigh running sheds, a building with a semi-circular rib roof of 100 ft. span, and the Eveleigh workshop with a hip roof of 50 ft. span, 150 ft. long, besides numerous ry. and road bridges. A most responsible under- taking was one for the Govt, of New South Wales, which included the ironwork for the immense abat- toirs at Sydney, sewage aqueducts made of wrought iron 6 ft. in diam- eter, with bridges for carrying them, and machinery for a cable traction station. While in Australia he constructed a 720 foot suspension bridge for a private co. He also superintended the rolling stock for the Smyrna and Cassaba Ry . , wind- ing and hoisting engines, and air compressors, with regulating valves for the Transvaal, being a patent of his own, and having for its object an automatic gear to relieve the en- gine of all work without stopping it or varying its speed. He likewise acted as consulting engr. for 2 cos. and one of his notable achievements was the fitting up of steamers for carrying frozen meat from Australia and the Falkland Islands to Eng., the Selembria for the service from the Falklands, being the largest car- rier at that time, having a capacity of 1,000 tons, equal to 30,000 carcasses, with 4 cold air ma- chines, each of 70,000 cubic ft. capa- city. Among his other extensive undertakings were the designing of a sea pier for the eastern shores of Asiatic Russia, drawing plans for an extensive installation of hydraulic power in one of the chief cities in the U. S., and the superintendence of the major portion of the super- structure of the Liverpool overhead ry.

GOULD, Joseph, art critic, Mont- real, was for some yrs. engaged in business in Montreal, at the head of the firm of Gould & Hill, piano- forte dealers. Although known as a writer and lecturer on music and art culture generally, his talents in this respect were not fully displayed until the publication of A rcadia in 1892, a fortnightly paper devoted to music, art and letters, of which he was ed. and prop. This paper was re- garded as being in advance of the gen- eral culture of the mass of the Can. people, and for this reason was not as well supported as it should have been. It had for contributors many of the best writers and critics in the Provinces. Since it ceased publica- tion, 1893, Mr. G. has written for other journals. He is a prominent office-bearerof the Handeland Haydn Soc. of Montreal, and otherwise seeks to promote a love for music.

His actual service on the bench was 41 yrs.; but after his retirement (Nov., 1883) upon his appt. to the Senate (Jan., 1885) he was elected to the posi- GOWAN. 395 tion of Chairman of the Sped. Comte. on Divorce, the duties of which are judicial in character, and he was for some 10 sessions engaged in that work, so, it may be said, his judicial experience covers over half a century. His other services have been varied and continuous, eliciting frequent recognition and approval from the Govt., the bar, and educational and municipal authorities ; and numerous addresses and testimonials were pre- sented to him, bearing testimony to his services by those competent to form an opinion of his work. Besides the duties proper of the judicial office he held so long, his outside voluntary services, at the instance of Govt. , were numerous and covered a variety of subjects, for the most part connected with legal improvements, e.g., the framing of Genl.

Macdonald ; and he was also consulted by and co-operated with Sir John Thompson in the important work of the Criminal Code for Can., 1892. In 1862 he was apptd. and acted as the judicial referee in the determination of long-standing dif- ferences between the Govt, of Can. and the contractors for the erection of the Parliamentary Buildings at Ottawa, and in 1873 was one of the 3 judges in the Royal Commission empowered to investigate charges against cabinet ministers in connec- tion with the C. P. R. contract. He was for over 30 yrs. , from time to time, employed in the confidential work of parliamentary and other drafting under successive Govts. , at the instance of the Hon. Robert Baldwin, Sir W. B. Richards, the Hon. Sandfield Macdonald, the Right Hon. Sir John A. Macdonald, and other law officers of the Crown, and his voluntary aid therein was in after yrs. duly acknowledged by those for whom he acted. In 1869 he was apptd. by the Govt. Chairman of the Bd. of Judges in Ont., and held the office till 1888. In the cause of education he has been a continuous worker for some 60 yrs. as Trustee of the Barrie Grammar Sch., from 1843 to 1893. In 1844 he was apptd.

Ed. there, he learned the printing busi- ness at Carleton Place, and, for some time, was an editorial con- tributor to the Herald, published at that place.

O'Keefe and others, founded United Canada, as an organ ' ' to assist in the exposition, advo- cacy, sustainment and defence of Cath. principles and teachings, besides being an auxiliary of the Cath. hierarchy of Irel. , in the cause of Irish legislative Ind." In 1890 he purchased the paper, which he has since continued to edit, assisted by several local clergymen. Mr. G. has manifested considerable inde- pendence in his treatment of such questions as the introduction of the ballot in separate sch. elections, the hierarchy and many of the clergy favouring open voting, while he and GRAHAM. 397 other laymen advocated a law which has since been passed, leaving the use of the ballot optional with the ratepayers whenever desired. For some yrs. he was Presdt. of the Ottawa St. Patrick's Literary Assn. — Russell House, Ottawa. GRAHAM, Rev. Edward (Presb.) is the s. of Alex. Graham, by his wife, Margt.

Ed. at the Hunting- don Acad. , he served his apprentice- ship in newspaper work under his uncle, the late E. H. Parsons, an old-time journalist, who published The Commercial Advertiser and afterwards The Evening Telegram in Montreal. On the discontinuance of the last-named paper, on which he had been engaged, Mr. G. be- came for a time Secy.-Treas. of the Gazette Printing Co. Later, in Jan., 1869, he, together with the late G. T. Lanigan (" Allid") and Marshall Scott (q.v. ), commenced the publication of The Evening Star, a one cent daily, which, after yrs. of patient struggle, is now the best paying newspaper property in Can. , with an average daily circulation of 45,500, and with a circulation for its weekly edition of over 87,000, the whole yielding the proprietor an average income of $45,000 a year. The full control of the Star soon passed entirely into Mr. G. 's hands, and from that time the paper's progress became more rapid and it began to acquire strong friends and a constituency of its own. In the early days most of his time was spent in promoting the commercial side of the venture, but his control of editorial policy and the news department has always been close and constant. He has devoted his whole life to the paper, and has made it what it is to-day, without the influence of any political party, without any sustained policy, and without being tied to fixed opinions on subject or question. In 1895 he established in connection with his paper The Star Almanac and Can. Year Booh, which, while it lasted, well sustained the reputation of his establishment.

" As a public officer, possesses extensive experience and knowledge." — Sir J. M. Le- JHoine. GRENFELL, Wilfrid T., physician, who has had so much to do with the Labrador Deep-Sea mission, is de- scribed by one who knew him well as 410 GRENIER — GRIER. " a skilled and able surgeon, and as having been well-known at Oxford and in London as a hardy athlete. " He 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 fishing hamlet 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 med. man to go to the fishermen, and he has lived 12 yrs. among them, first in the German Ocean, an&afterwards on the Labra- dor coast. He came first to Labrador, 1892, in the mission ship Albert. His report led to her return in 1893. With assistance obtained in New- foundland, Can. and Bng., two hospitals, fully equipped, 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 Albert cruised along the coast during the fishing season, Dr. G. 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 up 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 the mission. Dr. G. has written his experiences in "The Vikings of To-day: or, Life and Medical Work among the Fisher- men of Labrador" (1895).

At present he agrees with the feneral policy of the Con. party, ut he has not hesitated to act inde- pendently in reference to certain matters and transactions which he could not conscientiously uphold, and also in reference to certain men in the party whom he considered unworthy of a place therein.

GYE, Madame Marie Louise Emma Cecile AIBANI-, vocalist, is the dau. of Joseph Lajeunesse, of the ancient family of St. Louis, by his wife, Melina Mignault. Her grandmother, Rachel McCutcheon, came to Can. from N. Y. at an early age. B. at Chambly, P.Q., Sept. 27, 1847, she was ed. at an Eng. sch. at Platts- burg, N.Y., and at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Sault au Recollet, P.Q., but her first musical training came from her father, who was him- self a skilful musician. At the age of 7, Mdlle. Lajeunesse made her first appearance in public at the Mechanics' Hall, Montreal, under the auspices of several of the lead- ing citizens of that city. At 15, she went to Saratoga Springs, where she was offered the position of or- ganist by Vicar-Genl. Conroy, later Bp. of Albany, becoming also prof, of singing and the piano in the Sa- cred Heart Convent at Kellwood. There she laboured for 3 yrs., till by her own savings and those of her father, the help of the Bp. , the pro- ceeds of a concert and $300 presen- ted to her by the ch. -wardens for services rendered, she left for Paris, for a more thorough instruction and cultivation of her voice than she could hope to receive in Am. At Paris, Mad. Lafitte introduced her to Prince Poniatowski, who advised her to go to Milan, with the view of studying under Lamperti, for Ital- ian opera. Several yrs. of hard study followed, till at last, in 1870, she made her cUbut at Messina, un- der the name of Albani. Immedi- ately afterwards she sang at Malta, and then, in the winter of 1871-72, at the Theatre of La Pergola, Flo- rence. Her crowning effort was in the "Mignon " of Ambroise Thomas, already condemned in 4 theatres in Italy, but which in Mad. Albani's hands obtained the complete success which all the parts identified with her have met with. When her fame 416 GZOWSKI. was established in Italy, she ap- peared at the Royal Italian Opera in London, 1872, and since then has been a great favorite in Eng. In St. Petersburgh, Paris, Berlin, and most of the European capitals, as well as in the U. S. , she has been received with equal enthusiasm, and she is to-day certainly one of the most popular singers in the world. In 1883, and thrice subsequently, she made a tour of the U. S. and Can., and in May, 1886, sang the ode written by Tennyson for the opening of the Col. and Ind. Exhn. in London. Her favourite opera is "Othello," and she is said to have learned the music in a fortnight. In 1895, she assumed the role of ' ' Edith " in the new Eng. opera of "Harold," and in 1896, appeared in Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde." Mad. A. has sung frequently before the Queen and other crowned heads of^ Europe, and on the occasion of Queen Victoria's Jubilee, 1887, re- ceived a valuable gift from Her Majesty, consisting of a model in pure gold of the figure of victory, designed by the Countess Feodora Gleichen. A scroll across the figure bears the word, "Victoria," in pre- cious stones. In Oct., 1890, after singing at Balmoral before the Queen and the Royal Family, Her Majesty was pleased to give Albani a further proof of her friendly interest and regard by presenting her with a valuable picture containing portraits of the whole of the Royal Family. The Emperor of Germany, not long afterwards, presented her with a gold curb bracelet, having a painted 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 Soc. of her exceptional genius and musical attainments, and of her generous and artistic nature. " Besides singing in opera, Mad. A. has studied specially oratorio singing, and she is now ac- knowledged to be the first oratorio singer in Eng., and is engaged at all the principal festivals. She m. 1878, Ernest Gye, theatrical mana- ger, and has one son, who is being educated for his mother's profession, It may be well to Btate here that the adoption by her of the stage name of Albani, had nothing to do with the city of Albany. It was the maestro Lamperti who suggested it at Milan : " You must have an Italian name," he said. " Why not take that of Albani ? It is the name of an old and almost extinct family, the only surviving mem. being an aged Cardinal, and he is so pious and so much of a recluse that he will never hear of anything so worldly as grand opera ; and beside, if he does hear of it, you will make the name so famous that he will be glad and proud of it." It was in this way that she assumed her well- known nom de theatre. Mad. A. 's father still lives at Chambly. She has also a bro.,the Rev. Adelard La- jeunesse, who is curd at St. Calixte de Kilkenny, P.Q.— 16 The Boltons, South Kensington, London, Eng. ; Old Mar Lodge, Braemar, Scot. GZOWSKI, Col. Sir Casimir Stanis- laus, was b. in St. Petersburg, Rus- sia, Mch., 1813. He is the s. of a Polish nobleman, Stanislaus, Count Gzowski, who was an officer of the Imp. Guard. Destined for a military career, he, at the age of 9, entered the Mil. Engineering Coll. at Krem- nitz, where he remained until 1830. He there evinced a strong liking for engineering, and, on his graduation, received a commission in that branch of the service. When the Polish revolution against the rule of Constantino took place, young G. threw up all his prospects in the army, and took his place in the ranks of his fellow-patriots. He was present at the Polish triumph in Warsaw, and took part in the engagements which followed, being several times wounded, and having, on more thaji one occasion, narrow escapes from the hands of the Rus- sian forces. When the final catas- trophe occurred, at the battle of Boremel, Genl. Dwernecki, to whose HACKETT. 417 div. Mr. G. was attached, surren- dered, and the officers were impris- oned in the fortifications for several mths., being afterwards exiled to the U. S. The rank and file were allowed to depart. Mr. G. landed in N. Y., 1833, and there found himself at a considerable disadvan- tage on account of his ignorance of the Eng. language. He was, how- ever, endowed with an indomitable will, and he set himself to the study of the Eng. tongue with the same resolution which has characterized him throughout his career. Being an excellent linguist, and having a thorough knowledge of French, Ital- ian, and German, he gave lessons for several months, after which he went to Pittsfield, Mass., where he entered a law office. During this time he applied himself to a study of the Eng. language, and in 1837 he was admitted to the bar. He went to Perm. , where, as a neces- sary preliminary to admission to the Supreme Ct. , he took the oath of allegiance. He had, however, little inclination for the study of law, and, in 1841 , he came to Toron- to, where he obtained employment in the Dept. of Public Works. He was successively Supdg. Engr. of Roads and Harbours in Western Ont., 1842-48; Engr. of Harbour Works at Montreal, 1850-53 ; and Consulting Engr. , ship channel im- provement between Montreal and Quebec, 1850-53. At a later period he became Chief Engr. of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Ry. Co. This position he resigned to form a partnership with the late Sir A. T. Gait, L. H. Holton and Sir David Macpherson, for the purpose of ry. construction. The firm had the con- tract for the building of the Grand Trunk Ry. between Toronto and Sarnia, besides some other important works. In 1870, he was apptd. a mem. of a comn. to enquire into and report upon the water commns. of the Dom. In the following year he became Engr. of the Internl. bridge across the Niagara, and he was also called upon to report on the enlarge 28 ment of the Welland canal and on the Baie Verte canal scheme. Col. G. has always taken a deep interest in mil. affairs. He was Presdt. for some yrs. of the Dom. Rifle Assn. , and was instrumental in sending the first Can. team to Wimbledon. He was made a It. -col. in 1872, a full col. in 1879, and in the same year was apptd. an hon. A.D.C. to the Queen. In 1890, in recognition of "valuable services rendered to the Dom. of Can.," he was created a K. C. M. G. In Nov. , 1 896, he served as Administrator of the Govt, of Ont.

B. in Dublin, Irel., Dec. 17, 1816, he was ed. at Trinity Coll., in that city, but while still an under- graduate abandoned his academic course and came to Can. He be. came a resident of Toronto, 1835. and was called to the bar there, 1840.

John Graham, politician, is the o. of the late John Haggart, a native of Breadalbane, Scot., who came to Can. in the twenties, and was afterwards a successful miller at Perth, Ont., by his wife, Isabella Graham, of the Isle of Skye. B. in Perth, Ont., Nov. 14, 1836, he was ed. in his native place, and early turned his attention to milling. Entering the town council, he became Mayor of Perth, and, in 1867, in 1869, and again in 1871, unsuccessfully at- tempted to secure a seat in the Provl. Legislature. On the appt. of the late Hon. Alex. Morris to be Chief -Justice of Man., 1872, Mr. H. was elected to succeed him as the representative of South Lanark in the Ho. of Commons, and has con- tinued to hold that seat up to the present time ( Vote : g. e. 1896, Haggart, C, 1939; Ferguson, L, 1560). He became Postmaster- Genl. in Sir John Macdonald's Govt., Aug. 6, 1888. He con- tinued to hold that office under Sir John Abbott till Jan. 11, 1892, when he was transferred to the Dept. of Railways and Canals, and so remained under Sir John Thompson, Sir Mackenzie Bowell and Sir Chas. Tupper up to the retirement of the Con. party from power, July, 1896. After the eleva- tion of Sir Mackenzie Bowell to the Senate, Dec, 1892, he assumed the leadership of the Ont. Cons, in the Ho. of Commons, and on the death of Sir John Thompson, Dec, 1894, his name was mentioned in connection with the Premiership, the Toronto Mail declaring, that ' ' as between Mr. Bowell and Mr. Haggart, the latter would be the safer man for the party." He was one of the " nest of traitors," who was charged by his leader, Sir M. Bowell, with deserting him, Jan., 1896. While in charge of the Rys. and Canals he succeeded in running the Intercol. Ry. dur- ing the fiscal year, 1892 93, with a surplus over all expenses. He also completed the construction of the Sault Ste. Marie Canal, the last link in the chain of Can. canals connecting the great lakes with the St. Lawrence. After the Trent affair, 1861, he organized a co. of volunteers at Perth, of which he was apptd. capt. He was elected Chairman of the Ex. of the Lib.- Con. Union of Ont., Oct., 1896.

He was for 3 yrs. curate of St. James' Cath., To- ronto. In 1885 he became the first rector of St. Paul's Ch. , Brock - ville, and, in 1890, the seventh rec- tor of St. Paul's Ch., Halifax, the oldest Prot. ch. in the Dom., and the largest in the Maritime Prov- inces. In May, 1897, he resigned this appt. to become Prof, of Pas- toral Theol. and Homiletics in Wycliffe Theol. Coll. He is the author of several works which have been widely read and noticed, chief among these being "The Protest- antism of the Prayer Book "; " The Church of England the Centre of Unity " ; " St. Andrew's Work the Best Work in the World"; and " Ways to Win."

HAGUE, George, bank manager, belongs to an old Yorkshire family. In fact, in the profession by which he is generally known he had several predecessors. Three of his rela- tives, on the mother's side, were managers of the local bank in the manufacturing town where he was brought up. B. at Rotherham, Yorkshire, Eng., 1825, he was ed. at his native place, and commenced his business career in the office of the Sheffield Banking Co. Coming to Can., 1854, as the financial mangr. for a firm of ry. contrac- tors, he, after 2 yrs., accepted the . appt. of accountant at headquarters in the newly organized Bank of Toronto. Promoted mangr. of the Cobourg branch, 1860, he was re- called to Toronto, in 1863, to suc- ceed the late Angus Cameron as cashier of the bank. While holding this office Mr. H. took an active part in all matters relating to the polity of banking, and, m co-opera- tion with other bankers and with mems. of Parlt., offered an un- flinching resistance to the proposal of the then Govt, to change the basis of the circulation of the banks. These exertions were crowned with success, the govt, scheme being withdrawn after being 2 sessions before 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 the Bank of Toronto at the end of the year 1876. Not long afterwards, the Merchants' Bank of Can., as the result of errors committed 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 bank, 1877. After a thorough examina- tion of the situation, he decided that the best course was to reduce the capital stock, which was im- paired, and start afresh. This was done, and by constant attention and unremitting care on his part, along with the active co-operation of an able Bd. of Dirs., the institution was brought slowly forward, until it stands to-day in the forefront of Can. banking institutions. Not- withstanding his exacting official labours, Mr. H. has found time to serve his country in other direc- tions. For many yrs. he has con- tributed extensively to the press on banking and financial subjects. He is the author of a lecture on " Mod- ern Business" (1879), of a paper on "Banking," read before the Brit. Assn. (1884), of several papers read before the Am. Bankers' Assn. at various times, and of "Personal Reminiscences of the late E. H. King" (1896). Elected Presdt. of the Y.M.C.A., Montreal, he has served HAGUE. 421 also as Chairman of the Cong. Coll. of B.N. A., and contributed largely to its building in Montreal. A dir. of the Soc. for the Protect, of Women and Children, he is also a dir. of the Prot. Hospital for the Insane, and of the Boys' Home, a gov. of the Ho. of Industry and Refuge, a gov. of the Robt. Jones Con. Hospital, a gov. of the Mont- real Genl. Hospital, and a gov. of the Antiq. and Numis. Soc. , a V. -P. of the U. C. Bible Soc., and a V.-P. of the Lord's Day Alliance. Mr. H. is also a dir. of the Guarantee Co. of North Am., and a gov. of McGill Univ. He was one of the founders of the Good Govt. Assn. , Montreal, and was the first presdt. of that body. He likewise assisted in founding the Can. Bankers' Assn. , and was elected its first presdt. He has been for some yrs. a gov. of the Diocesan Coll. of Montreal, and contributed $5,000 to its En- dowment Fund, as part of a general movement towards its augmenta- tion. Mr. H. for many yrs. has taken a very active interest in the Y.M.C.A. of Montreal, as he did formerly in Toronto, and in 1S95 was largely instrumental by his contribution in procuring for the McGill Coll. branch of the Assn. the building it now owns opposite the Coll. grounds. In 1891 he was apptd. a mem. of the Comn. to examine the Civil Service, and being elected Chairman spent several mths. , along with the other mems. of the Comn., in laborious investigations and examinations, the result of which is embodied in the exhaustive report presented by the Comn. in 1892. Mr. H. has never taken an active part in politics, beyond making strenuous efforts, along with other citizens, with the Legislature of Quebec, to keep the borrowing powers of the Corporation of Montreal within due bounds.

While in Toronto he became the founder and was the first Presdt. of the Toronto Philhar- monic Soc. He is the author of " His- tory of Bills of Exchange," " Lay Work in the Church," " A Century of Essays on Church History and Doctrine," and joint author of "Notes on Old Masters." He has also written largely on the subjects of Banking and Commerce for the Can. newspaper press, and rendered able service to the Con. party as the writer and compiler of campaign literature, " Ten Years of Lib.

B. at Adolphustown, Ont. , June 4, 1825, he was ed. at the Picton Grammar Sch., and at Victoria Coll., and subsequently studied Med. for a time under the late Dr. B. S. Cory. Circumstances drove him into business, and in 1850, he established himself as a druggist and bookseller at Picton. While there, he filled for yrs. the offices of Chairman of the Sch. Bd. and Presdt. of the Mech. Inst. He was also instrumental in establish- ing, 1842, the first country library which had an existence in the Province. Mr. H. has been a frequent contributor on historical and other subjects to the mags, and newspapers. He has published 2 works : ' ' Country Life in Can. Fifty Years Ago, being the Personal Recollections and Reminiscences of a Sexagenarian" (1885), and "Here and There in the Home Land — England, Scotland and Ireland as seen by a Canadian" (1895).

Haliburton ("Sam Slick " ), formerly a Judge in N. S. , and afterwards M.P. for Launces- ton in the Brit. Ho. of Commons, by his wife Louisa, only dau. of Capt. S. Neville, 19th Light Dragoons. B. at Windsor, N.S., Sept. 26, 1832, he was ed. at the Coll. Sch. there, and was called to the bar of his native Province, 1858. He entered the Commissariat service of the Brit. Army 1855, and became a Depty. Asst. Commy.-Genl., 1859. In 1870, he was transferred to the Civil Service at the War Office, as Asst. Dir. of Supplies and Trans- port, and, in 1878, became dir. thereof, replacing Sir W. H. Drake. In these two offices he rendered im- portant services to the army in connection with the Ashantee and Zulu wars, and in 1880, in acknow- ledgment of these services, was created a OB. He became Asst. Under-Secy . of State for War, 1888, and permt. Under-Secy. for War, 1895. He is a J. P. and D. L. for Co. London, and an hon. V.-P. of the U. E. L. Assn. He was created aK.C.B., 1885, and was promoted a 6. C. B. , on the occasion of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, 1897. "The retirement of Sir Arthur H., the permanent head of the War Office," says a London paper, "is a matter of much regret. He has demonstrated that he is one of the ablest men who has ever occupied the post. The rules of retirement in the Civil Service are, however, well-nigh inexorable ; and though they work hardly in individual cases, HALIBURTON. 423 they are unquestionably of advan- tage to the service aa a whole. Sir Arthur H. is as well known in society as in the Civil Service, and in the former there happily is no fixed age for retirement. Long may he enjoy the position of which human agencies are not likely to deprive him ! The post which he vacates, and which Sir Arthur Knox is now to fill, is one of difficulty. When reforms are intended (and they were never more needed in the War Office than at the present mo- ment) it is necessary for the Perma- nent Under-Secretary to persuade the chief of the department that is affected. This is no easy task ; and it requires a man with some diplo- matic capacity to reform and to secure easy working afterwards. Reforms give trouble and extra labour, and are necessarily unpopu- lar with the departments on which extra labour is thrown. Herein lies the need for a clever and con- genial permanent Under-Secretary of State." A mem. of the Ch. of Eng., he m. 1877, Mariana Emily, dau. of the late Leo Schuster, and widow of Sir W. D.

S. , June 3, 1831. He received his education at King's Coll., Windsor. According to Presdt. McCawley, "he stood high, frequently highest, at all the terminal examinations, and graduated in honours above the men of his year." He took his M.A. degree, 1852, and received, in 1876, from the same univ. , in re- cognition of his scientific researches, the hon. degree of D.C.L. After having been connected with the volunteers, he attained the rank of It -col. in the militia, and was apptd., 1861, Col. A.D.C., to the Marquis of Normanby, then Lt.- Gov. of N. S. He was called to the bar, 1853. In 1854 he was offered a law partnership in the country and a safe Con. seat in the Ho. of Assembly, but in deference to the wishes of his father, declined entering public life in N. S. He enjoyed an extensive practice at Halifax. In 1860 he was leading counsel for the props, before the P. E. I. Land Comn., and, in 1875, served as a comnr., together with the Rt. Hon. H. C. E. Childers, M.P., and Dr. Jenkins, M.P.P., for the settlement of the trouble- some question as to landlords and tenants in that colony. He was created a Q. C. by the N. S. Govt. , 1876, and 2 yrs. afterwards received a similar distinction from the Dom. Govt. Removing to Ottawa, 1877, he acquired there a large practice in connection with the then newly organized Dom. Ct. of Appeal. The N. S. Inst, of Nat. Science, the Coal-Owners' Assn. and the Fruit Growers' Assn., of which latter he is a V. -P. for life, were founded by him. As a coal-owner he com- menced an agitation, 1867, in favour of putting a duty on Am. coal, and of adopting towards the U S. a "self-reliant policy" (afterwards known as the " National Policy" in Dom. politics). In 1868, at the request of the Finance Mr. he embodied his views in a pamphlet entitled : ' ' Intercolonial Trade our only Safeguard against Disunion," which advocated the importance of securing new markets in the W. I. and South Am. This pamphlet was known as " McGee's legacy," as it was the subject of the last speech of that lamented statesman. The assassin who shot him an hour later was in the gallery of the Ho. of Commons during the delivery of the speech. In July, 1870, a casual remark made by H. E. Sir John Young, then Gov.-Genl., to Mr. H., gave the latter a clue to a profound cabinet secret — that the Red River expedition was to be withdrawn, and that an amnesty was to be declared. A timely telegram to the so-called ' ' Twelve Apostles " of Toronto (afterwards the leaders of the " Canada First " party) enabled them to preserve the freedom of the 424 HALIBURTON. great North- West (see Lt.-Col. Denison on Lord Wolseley, Can. Mag., Oct., 1895). For 14 yrs. no one but Mr. H. knew how that cabinet secret had been betrayed, or who had sent that timely warn- ing ; and Lord Lisgar (formerly Sir John Young) died in ignorance of the signal service he had rendered to the future of half a continent. In 1871 Mr. H. went to England and spent 5 yrs. there in connection with N. S. coal properties, in which he was interested. As there was much discussion there at that time about the Alabama Claims, he lectured in London on " The causes of the decline of the United States as a Maritime Power," which he pronounced to be " excessive tax- ation and a debased currency " ; and he showed by statistics obtained by him at the Am. Legation, that the decline had increased at a uniform rate, and was greater when the Alabama was at the bottom of the sea than when she was afloat. The Standard published the lecture, and in the course of an editorial on it said : " This is a task which he has accomplished with eminent ability and signal success." In May, 1872, he published in the St. James' Mag. "The Dream of the United Empire Loyalists of 1776," a bitter exposure of the Disintegration policy of the Govt, which was quoted from by 2 out of the 4 speakers in "the Debate on the Colonies," on Mr. Macfie's motion. As an organ for his crusade against the Disintegration party, and in order to revive that old watchword of the U. E. Loyal- ists— "a United Empire"— Mr. H. bought the St. James' Mag., and gave it a second title — the United Empire Review. But he took a more effectual step, when he carried the war into Mr. Gladstone's own constituency, Greenwich, by lectur- ing there on: "The necessity for a National Policy and a United Em- pire." Fortunately, a few weeks later, the electors at Greenwich 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 majority. As this took place only 6 mths. before the g. e., it was regarded by the public, and proved to be, a 6 months' notice to quit to the Govt. The Cons, invited Mr. H. to address the electors of Brighton and Grantham on the subject of "The Unity of the Empire," and both these constituencies went over to that party by large majorities at the g. e. On returning to Can., 1876, he was entertained at a public dinner at the Westminster Palace Hotel. Mr. H., who was the first colonist by birth that was ever elected to the Council of the Royal Coll. Inst., resigned that position when he returned to Can. Con- tinued ill-health compelled him in 1881 to give up his law business in Can., and to spend his winters in tropical or semi-tropical climates. The Gleaner (Kingston, Jamaica), Jan. 28, 1897, in an article headed "Public Reception to Mr. Hali- burton at Southfield," says: "It is now over 11 yrs. since Mr. R. G. Haliburton first arrived at St. Eliza- beth, and in compliance with an address signed by 200 of the people there brought the distressed state of the poor and the utter lack of any system of parochial or medical relief to the notice of the Govern- ment." All his efforts on their behalf, though backed up by the Island press, were unavailing, until he appealed to Eng. public opinion, when a remedial act was promptly passed, which has since worked so satisfactorily that it has been adopted by other W. I. colonies, Since 1881 he has devoted his atten- tion chiefly to scientific investiga- tions. These have reference : (1) To the discovery of a very simple calendar among savages and early civilizations regulated by the Pleiades, or "the seven stars." (2) To the discovery by him, in 1887-88, of a pigmy race in North Africa. In 1890 and 1891 he devoted nearly 8 mths. to enquiries in Morocco on the HALIBURTON. 425 subject, the results of which were embodied in a paper written by him for the 9th Congress of Orientalists, which awarded him a medal for his discovery, and was commented upon, pro or con, by all the leading London papers. The Times pub- lished it at length, and made it the subject of a long editorial ; (3) To survivals of dwarf races in the Pyrenees and America ; (4) To "The Holy Land of Fount " of the Dra Valley of Southern Morocco. Mr. Ernest de Bunsen, the German Archaeologist, dedicated his ' ' Die Pleiaden und Der Thierkreis " (" The Pleiades and the Zodiac ") to'Mr. H. as the pioneer in that field, and the following, among other works, will be found to comment favourably on Mr. H. 's Pleiades researches : Smyth's ' ' Life and Work at the Great Pyramid " (3 vols. , large edi- tion), discusses them very fully, and its Appendix contains an abridg- ment of over 70 pp. of "New Ma- terials " ; Sir Norman Lockyer's "Star-gazing, Past and Present"; Blake's ' ' Astron. Myths " (preface and chap, on "The Pleiades"); Colbert's "Humanity," in which the chapter on " Alt Souls' Day " consists of a long quotation from Mr. H. 's work, which he says is "ex- tremely rare," but he is mistaken in his statement that there is a copy of it in the Brit. Museum, as only a part of it is there. The most eminent scientist in Europe, and a specialist on the subject both of dwarfs and of Cretinism, Prof. Vir- chow, at a meeting of the Anthrop. Soc. of Berlin, July 20, 1895, read a paper on " Extracts from Mr. Haliburton's writings," in which he said, "that south, aDd to some extent on the heights of the Atlas, a dwarf race .is living, with woolly hair, and a reddish complexion, seems to be beyond doubt, and we must certainly give the credit of the discovery to Mr. Haliburton." Prof. Starr, of the Dept. of Anthrop. Univ., of Chicago, wrote, Apl. 30, 1897^ "Half of my article on the ' Pygmy Races of Men,' in the North Am. Rev., for June, 1S96, was devoted to Mr. H.'s discoveries. It is possible that his idea, that the history of man begins with a ' Dwarf Era,' may in time be ac- cepted by science." In 1893, Prof. Sayce wrote to Mr. H. : " Your name hereafter will be attached to the discovery of dwarf races in North Africa, as Schweinfurth's is to that of the dwarfs of Central Africa. It is the most important discovery that has been made for a long time." His scientific papers are : " The Unity of the Origin of the Human Race proved by the Universality of Certain Superstitions connected with Sneezing," quoted with approval by Tylor and Sir John Lubbock (1863); "New Ma- terial for the Hist, of Man, derived from a comparison of the Calendars and Festivals of Nations " [Pt.

Called to the bar, 1861, he soon acquired a large prac- tice, and became Clk. of the Circuits and Clk. of the Co. Ct. Created a Q. C. by the Mar- quis of Lome, 1881, he was subse- quently elected agov. of King's Coll. , Windsor (where he was also Prof, of Procedure and Ecclesiastical Law) and received the hon. degree of LL.D. from Mt.

Synods, and was, for yrs. an earnest advocate of the union of the Ch. in Can., by the establishment of a general Synod (now successfully accomplished), and, to that end, attended the Ang. Union Conf. at Winnipeg, Aug., 1890, which framed the terms of union. In local politics, he was a Lib. of the old N. B. sch., but as regards the general Govt. , he sup- ported Sir John Macdonald and those associated with him at Ottawa. He sat for Westmoreland in the local assembly from Dec, 1870 till June, 1874, when he was defeated on the " Bible and Religious Instruction in Common Sch. question," which he advocated. Returned again, in 1878, he continued to hold a seat in the Legislature up to the date of his appt. as a Puisne Judge of the Supreme Ct. of N. B., Apl. 1, 1892. He became a mem. of the N.

In the fol- lowing year he won a couple of skiff races. In 1873 he rowed his first race in shells, beating Williams and McKen. In '74 and '75 he won sev- eral local races, never being beaten. In Aug., 1876, he won a champion- ship belt given by the Toronto R. C. In Sept. , 1876, he won the singles at the Centennial regatta, beating Harry Coulter and H. Thomas (London, Eng.), Pat Luther, John Higgins (London, Eng.), Evan Morris, Fred Plaisted, and Alec. Brayley. The time of the final heat was 21.09, the record at that time for 3 miles with turn. From 1876 to 1884 H. was all but invincible, only being beaten in a regatta at Providence, R.I., in 1880, when he retired at the stake boat, having some days before wrenched his side. During these yrs. he defeated, among others, Wal- lace Ross (twice), Plaisted, Morris (for the championship of Am. in 1878), Courtney, Hawdon (Tyne), Elliott (champion of Eng. in 1879, Tyne), Riley, Trickett (twice, Thames, for the world's champion- ship in 1880 and 1882), Laycock, Boyd, Teemer, Lee and Gaudaur. In 1884, and again in 1885, Beach (Australia) defeated him, the former occasion being H. 's first defeat in a match race, but previous to the second race H. defeated Clifford. H. having returned from Australia, Teemer won the Am. championship from him at Troy, in Oct., 1885. Teemer lost the title to Gaudaur, and in 1887 H. twice rowed the latter for it. On the first occasion, in May, Gaudaur won. On the second, in July, H. was victorious, both races being rowed at Pullman, 111, On 434 HANNAY. Aug. 13, in the same year, Teemer for the second time won the cham- pionship from H., the course being on Toronto Bay. H. visited Aus- tralia again to meet Beach, who had previously declined to row in Eng. , although the former went there to meet him. On the Nepean H. lost his third race to Beach, who resigned in favour of Kemp, who later on also defeated Canada's representative. H. next beat Trickett and Kemp again beat him, as did also Beach for the fourth time. Exhn. races en- gaged H.'s attention in 1889 and 1890, and these were two quiet yrs. The ex-champion came prominently before the public again in 1891, but was unable to get on many matches. He went out to the Pacific coast, and was beaten on Sept. 21 by A. Mac- lean at New Westminster, but the victor had 500 yards start. On Sept. 24 he was second to Wm. O'Connor in a regatta at New Westminster. On Oct. 31 he defeated Chas. Ste- phenson on Shawnigan Lake, B.C. Prior to his trip to the Pacific coast on Aug. 8, at Hamilton, H. and O'Connor beat Gaudaur and McKay in a race for the double scull cham- pionship of America. In 1892 H. and O'Connor, at Erie, beat Gaudaur and Hosmer in a double scull race on June 23. At Washington, a month later, the pair beat Hosmer and Ross, and in a. single scull match Hanlan defeated his old rival Wal- lace Ross. He defeated Stephenson for the second time on Toronto Bay, Aug. , 1893. On Sept. 5, at Ontario Beach, H. and O'Connor's double scull colours were lowered by Gau- daur and Hosmer, and in a match at Lake Couchiching, on Oct. 15, Gau- daur and Hosmer captured the double scull championship from the Toronto pair. Subsequently, in 1895 and '96, he raced with some of the best oars- men in Am. , winning in many cases. In Jan., 1897, he issued a challenge to row Gaudaur either in Eng. or Am. for the world's championship. His life has been published in book form by R. K. Fox, N.

Hannay (Presb.), a native of Wigtown, Scot., who was for some yrs. min. at Richibucto, N.B., by his wife, Jane Salter, of Hants, N.S. Jas,. Hannay, the critic and author and friend of Thackeray, and Dean Hannay, of St. Giles', Edinburgh, were of the same family. B. at Richibucto, Apl 22, 1842, he received his education at the new Kilpatrick parish sch. , Scot. , and at the St. John Grammar Sch. His con- nection with the press dates from 1862. He was admitted an atty. , 1866, and called to the bar, 1867. In the same yr. he was apptd. Official Reporter of the Supreme Ct. of N. B. , and held that position up to his retirement therefrom, Apl. , 1873. He was asst. ed. of the St. John Daily Telegraph, 1872-83, when he became asst. chief ed. and city ed. of the Montreal Daily Herald. He was subsequently con- nected with the Brooklyn (N.Y.) Eagle. In 1888 he returned to St. John as ed. of The Gazette, and in 1893, he succeeded to the chief editorship of the St. John Telegraph, a position he still fills. As reporter to the Supreme Ct. , he published 2 volumes of Reports, 1867-73, which were reprinted, 1878. He has suc- sessfully entered other fields of liter- ary endeavour, writing now an easy flowing and spirited ballad, now an exhaustive historical work, and now a bright and racy mag. article or story. He first wrote poems over the nom de plume of " Saladin " for the St. John Courier and other papers. Later, he wrote a number of Acadian historical ballads. When Stewart's Quarterly was established in St. John he became one of its best contributors, supplying bright sketches and stories. His first historical effort was a series of sketches of the early forts in N. B. This was followed by " The Capti- vity of John Gyles among the Mili- cetes from 1689 to 1698,' ? which he published 1875, with an introduc- tion and annotations by himself. HARCOURT — HARDING. 435 The same yr. he wrote a history of St. John. Meanwhile, he was collecting material for the work which afterwards made his reputa- tion as an historian. No good his- tory of Acadia under the French regime had yet appeared. Murdock's work was more in the nature of a record of events than a history, and Campbell and Haliburton's were the product of insufficient resources. His "History of Acadia" was published in 1879 in St. John, and London, Eng. The work was favourably received and obtained the highest commendation of the reviewers ; and well it might, for it possessed the qualities essential to both an historical and a literary work. It was an elaborate and scholarly work and combined the research of the historian, the judicial cast of the thinker and the grace of the litterateur. It is now in its 4th edition. Of other works from his pen the most important are : ' ' The History of the Queen's Rangers," and " The History of the Loyalists," both in part published in the Telegraph. He is now pre- paring " The Life and Times of Sir Leonard Tilley," and " The History of the War of 1S12." Mr. H. is a corr. mem. of the Literary and Hist. Soc. of Quebec, and of the N. S. Hist. Soc. H e is the historian of the N. B. Loyalist Soc, and he has been Presdt. of the N. B. Hist. Soc. He has lectured frequently on his- torical subjects, and not long since, delivered a series of lectures on Can. History in the Univ. Exten- sion course at St. John. He m. 1864, Margt., dau. of Elias T. Ross, St. John. The Printer and Pub- lisher (Montreal), from which we have gleaned the principal facts for this article, sums up Mr. H.'s character and methods as a journal- ist, in the following words : " In the discharge of his editorial duties he has combined a wide knowledge of affairs with a yet graceful pen. He is rapid in composition and quick in perception. He is optim- istic by nature, and believes first in supporting that which is best for the interests of the country of his nativity, and in fostering with his pen everything which is for her welfare. His newspaper articles are among the brightest and most readable in the Can. press." — St. John, N.B.; Union Club. HARCOURT, Hon. Richard, Q.C., legislator, is the 3rd s. of the late Michael Harcourt, who represented Haldimand in the Can. Legislature previous to Confederation. B. in Seneca, Haldimand, Ont. , 1849, he was privately ed. by the Rev. B. C. Hill, M.A., and afterwards attended Toronto Univ. (B.A., 1870; M.A., 1871). Becoming principal of Cay- uga High Sch. , he was, after one yr., apptd. Public Sch. Inspr. for Haldimand. Called to the bar, 1876, he served as Depty. Judge of Welland, and, in 1890, was apptd. a Q. C. by the Ont. Govt. In 1896 he was recommended for the same dignity by the Tupper Admn. A Lib., he has sat for Monck in the Ont. Assembly, since Dec, 1878.

He is a, Senator of Toronto Univ., a, dir. of the Toronto Genl. Trusts Co., Presdt. of the North Am. Mining Co., and Presdt. also of the Home Life Assur. Co. In 1896 he was selected with others to serve as a Comnr. for the revision of the Ont. Statutes. He was one of the found- ers of the Ch. of Eng. Lit. and Pub. Co., and has served as a del. to the Ch.

Arthur Sturgis, Q.C., statesman, bro. of the preceding, was b. at Mount Pleasant, Ont., Dec. 14, 1837. Ed. at the Mount Pleasant Grammar Sch. and at Rockwood Acad., he studied law with his uncle, H. A. Hardy, and with the firm of the late Chief- Justice Harrison, Toronto, and was called to the bar, 1865. He prac- tised his profession very successfully in Brantford, of which city he be- came City Solicitor, was made a Q. C. by the Ont. Govt., 1876, and was elected a bencher of the Law Soc. the same year. He entered political life, Apl., 1873, being then returned to the Legislature, in the Lib. in- terest, for the vacancy in the repre- sentation of South Brant, created by the election of the late Hon. E. B. Wood to the Ho. of Commons. In Mch. , 1877, he entered the Mowat Admn., as Provl. Secy, and Regr., and in Jan. 1889, succeeded the late Mr. Pardee as Comnr. of Crown Lands, in the same Govt. He was chosen to serve as acting Premier and Atty. -Genl. of Ont. , during the absence of Sir 0. Mowat in Europe, May, 1895, and on the latter's transfer to Ottawa, July, 1896, suc- ceeded him in both those offices. In the same year he was apptd. a Comnr. for the revision of the Ont. statutes. He has retained through- out his hold on South Brant, being re-elected at every recurring g. e. by largely increased majorities. Of his work as a public man the To- ronto Olobe has this to say : " No less than 150 public and private bills were introduced by him between 1874 and 1896, and nearly every one of them passed. But the subjects these dealt with are more important than mere numbers. Their wide range, scope and variety are the best evidence of the versatility and breadth of view of the present Premier, and their presence on our statute books is open testimony to his laborious public life, his industry and his valuable work as a repre- sentative and parliamentarian. As to public bills, there is scarcely a subject over which the Legislature has jurisdiction that Mr. H. has not dealt with. In his second session he introduced an important bill re- specting ry. traffic, which placed the relations of rys. towards shippers and the public upon an entirely changed footing, by preventing a ry. from setting up notice of a con- dition protecting itself against a suit for damages where negligence could be established. This became law in the following session. Later on he introduced several bills amending the law as to Div. Cts. , enlarging their jurisdiction, simplifying their practice and making remedies cheap- er. An act reducing the number of Grand Jurors to 13 was also carried HARDY. 437 through by him, and is found to work admirably. The Jurors' Act and the mode of election was en- tirely reconstructed by Mr. H., and afterwards consolidated, with amendments. The number of jurors returned had been unnecessarily large. The act empowered the local boards, composed of the Co. Judge and others, to reduce the number wherever they felt it could be safely done. Many thousand dollars per annum have been saved to the various counties of the Province through this amendment. A recent measure introduced by him also pro- vided that in civil cases 10 jurors might give a verdict. This has been found to give great relief to jurors and to work satisfactorily. Mr. H. was one of a comte. of Lib. mems. who originally settled the terms of and drafted the Voters' Lists Act. An act to give increased stability to mutual fire ins. cos. did much to strengthen the solvent cos. of this character, and to weed out those established on other than business principles. The act respecting interpleader lessened the cost of those proceed- ings materially by enabling the issues in some cases, where seizures had been made under executions, to be tried in the Co. Cts. In 1882, when Prov. Secy., Mr. H. carried through the act establishing the Bd. of Health, which has done so much to disseminate knowledge of hygiene and inspire local action on the part of the municipalities in connection with the public health. He apptd. Dr. Bryce, whose vigour and energy are well known, as Secy. Acts re- lating to the Admin, of Justice in criminal matters, to the laws of ins. , an act under which industrial schs. might be established, one relating to the performance of statute labor, one for the organization of water- works and gas cos., measures re- lating to joint stock cos., to births, marriages and deaths, to amending the Election Act, respecting private lunatic asylums, an industrial refuge for girls, and the reformatory for boys, and an act relating to religious institutions, all became law under his supervision. So also with respect to acts relating to distress for rent and taxes and exempting certain properties, as to the establishment of homes of industry and industrial farms, respecting the offices of Police Magistrate and Sheriff, damage to land by flooding, and many other acts of like character, which it is not necessary to enumerate. While he was Provl. Secy. , a series of acts relating to the public institutions of the Province, and another series re- lating to the liquor license question and the enforcement of the liquor laws occupied a great deal of his time and attention in the Legis- lature. Much might be said of Mr. H. 's efforts as a temp, reformer under the license laws. The act known as the ' Crooks Act ' is more largely the work of Mr. H. than of Mr. Crooks, if the scope of the act, when the latter handed over the charge of license matters to his suc- cessor as Prov. Secy. , be taken into account. Bills upon this subject were carried through the House by Mr. H. in 1878, 1881, 1884, 1887 and 1888. These acts were all in the direction of providing severer penal- ties for infractions of the law, for its better enforcement, and to provide for the enforcement of the ' Dunkin ' and ' Scott ' acts as well. Space does not permit giving the details of these several enactments. Suffice 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 reply and satisfactory explanation. Bills giv- ing the right of representation in the Local Legislature to the Rainy River and Nipissing Dists. , and of the election of their first mems., were also submitted by him, as Comnr. of Crown Lands. His legis- lation has had largely to do with the Crown domain, free grants to settlers, the public timber and pub- lic parks, and the municipal assess- ment and drainage laws. Bills re- lating to damage to lands by flood- ing and affording cheap and speedy 438 HARE. remedies ; to the floating of timber down streams ; to timber slide cos. ; to the free grants and homesteads lands ; to culling and measurement of saw-logs and the examination of cullers ; to settlement duties by pur- chasers of lands and a lien for wages by woodmen, are among the number of those general or minor measures, more or less affecting the Dept. of Crown Lands, which have received Mr. H.'s attention. The latter act provides that men who work in the shanties in the cutting of timber shall have a lien upon the 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 the new dists. An act for the protection of Provl. fisheries, comprehensive in its character within the jurisdiction of the Province, was also passed in 1892. Perhaps no more important measures, however, have been con- sidered than those relating to mines and mining which were dealt with in 1890, 1891 and 1892. In the latter year the amendments made in 1891 and 1892 were incorporated into a general act with other amendments and the whole act consolidated. Some of these amendments are of the first importance and were in the interest of the explorer and the operator, and tended to facilitate the development of the mining in- terests of the Province. A Bureau of Mines was established, a minimum quantity of mining lands which may be sold by the Crown was reduced from 80 to 40 acres, and the option of taking lands or lease instead of by purchase as theretofore was given to purchasers. The duty of per- forming certain development work to the value of about $5 per acre within a limited time imposed upon purchasers of mining lands and the right to stake out mining claims was also granted. A royalty was im- posed upon certain mines and 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 the present period of mining de- pression caused by the financial stringency in the U. S. and the closing down of many mines and mining industries there. Subject to this the law is looked upon as one of the best mining laws in existence. Bills establishing the Algonquin Na- tional Park, embracing nearly one million acres of land, lying between the Parry Sound Dist. and the Ottawa River, and Rondeau Park, in the Co. of Kent, embracing nearly 5,000 acres of land, have become law. Mr. H. , as the author of these bills, has shown an enlightened appreciation of public wants in thus dedicating to the public for all time these tracts of land, timber, lakes and rivers. They are to be known as health resorts and timber, fish and game preserves." He was a, V.-P. of the Brit.

Ed. at Victoria Univ. (B.A., 1873 ; M.A., 1879), he entered the Meth. ministry as a probationer, June, 1867, and was ordained, June, 1879. As a youth, he showed a somewhat phenomenal interest in study. Com- mencing sch. life at 3J yrs. of age, he entered the 2nd sch. reader at 4 yrs. ; the 5th reader at 7 yrs. , and won 1st prize in astronomy at 9 yrs. At this early age he had HARNETT — HARPER. 439 gone over the greater part of the 1st Book of Euclid and Algebra, through simple equations, and simi- lar work in other subjects. His health failing, he had to give up all study except during a few mouths in winter, and yet at the age of 12, he passed the 2nd class teachers' exam., matriculated into Victoria Univ. at 15 yrs., passed the 1st class teachers' exam, at 17 yrs., and com- menced teaching and taught for 2 yrs. After entering the ministry, he served successively at Chatham, Smith's Falls, and London, Ont., and, in 1874, was called to the Principalship of the Ont. Ladies' Coll. , at Whitby, where he has re- mained. He received the degree of Ph.D., from Illinois Wesl. Univ., and is a Senator of Victoria Univ. Dr. H. m. Sept., 1874, Kate, dau. of the Rev. D. C.

Feb. 10, 1845, at Johnstone, Renfrewshire, Scot. , and is the s. of the late R. M. Harper, bookseller and publisher, who was also the founder of the first weekly newspaper printed in Johnstone. On the maternal side he is of Celtic origin. He received his early educa- tionj at one of the parish schs. , and thetn went to the Glasgow, E. C. Training Coll. There he completed the full course of study, and retired with the highest certs, granted by the Council on Education, and with special certs, from the Science and Art Dept. , Kensington. After coming to Can. he became a graduate of Queen's Univ., Kingston, and received the degree of Ph.D. from Illinois Univ. , 1881, after completing the 3 yrs. post-graduate course in Metaph. Science. In 1881 he was elected a Fellow of the Educational Inst, of Scot. After several years' successful teaching in the Maritime Provinces, Dr. H. was eventually apptd. Principal of the Victoria and High Schs., St. John, N.B., where his labours were abundantly successful. In 1887 the Govt, of P. E. I., having noted the success which attended Dr. H.'s work in St. John, invited him to accept the position of Supt. of Education in that province. This offer he de- clined, being loath to leave his work in St. John. Not long after, when the Victoria Sch. building was de- stroyed by fire, he was asked to assume the principalship of the Prov. Normal Sch., Charlottetown. This he did, with the understanding that he would be free to return to St. John as soon as his sch. should be re- built. At the end of a year or more, when he proposed to carry out this intention, strong efforts were put forth to induce him to stay, the result being that he remained in Charlottetown for 3 yrs. , during the last of which he held the position of Prof, in the Amalgamated Normal Sch. and Prince of Wales Coll. , with special supervision of the dept. for the training of teachers. Dr. H. went to Quebec in 1880, to assume the rectorship of the Quebec High Sch., which he held up to the time of his appt. as Inspector of Superior Schs. , P. Q. , the position he now occu- pies. He was also for a time interim Prof, of Math, in Morrin Coll. Be- yond his professional reputation, Dr. H. has made his mark as a man of matured literary taste. In N. S. he took an active part in establishing a 440 HARRINGTON. literary periodical, and has con- tinued more or less to contribute to our periodical lit. in prose and verse. Many of his lyrics have been highly praised, while some of his poems in the Scottish dialect have been spe- cially recognized by Dr. John Ross, in his "Scottish Poets in Am." Among his descriptive poems, some, such as "The Battle of the Plains " and 'The Old Chateau," have been widely noticed. Dr. H. is also well- known as a writer of sch. text-books, his " History of the Maritime Pro- vinces " having been recognized as an excellent treatise. Many bro- chures and lectures have come from his pen, the former including, "Plato," "The New Education," "Cause and Effect in School Work," "Can. Unity"; and the latter two valuable papers published in the " Trans, of the Lit. and Hist. Soc. of Quebec," entitled, "The Maritime Provinces," and " The Development of the Greek Drama. " He is also a contributor to the " Trans, of the Royal Soc. of Can. " For yrs. he has been ed. of the Educational Record. Of hon. positions held by him from time to time have been the Presi- dency of the St. Andrew's Soc, of the Teachers' Assn., V.-P. of the Quebec Lit. and Hist. Soc, of the Prov. Assn. of Teachers, and of the Columbian Ed. Congress at Chicago. His first wife was Agnes, eld. dau. of the late Wm. Kirkwood, Stanley Muir, Paisley (she d. 1883).

HARRINGTON, Bernard James, educationist, was b. at St. Andrews, P. Q. , where his father's family have resided for several generations, Aug. 5, 1848. Owing to weak eye- sight, from which he suffered while a boy, he spent little time at sch. , and received his elementary ed. chiefly from private teachers. Later, he matriculated at McGill Univ., and graduated B.A., taking 1st rank honours in Natural Science and the Logan gold medal, 1869. He then continued his studies in the Sheffield Scientific Sch. of Yale Coll., New Haven, Conn., where he remained as a post-graduate student for two yrs., devoting his attention principally to Chemistry, Mineral, and Metal. , and at the end of that time graduated with dis- tinction as Ph. D. , obtaining also the prize in Mineral. Dr. H. took as the subject for his thesis the " Sie- mens-Martin process for the pro- duction of steel." Shortly after this Principal (now Sir J. W. ) Dawson was apptd. by the Gov. of P. E. I. to examine that Province and re- port upon its economic resources, especially as to the possibility of finding coal on the island, and Dr. H. was selected as his asst. The results of this survey are to be found in a report published by the Govt. In 1871, Dr. H. was apptd. Lecturer in Mining and Chemistry at McGill Univ., and the following year crossed the Atlantic and spent sev- eral mths. in the principal mining and manufacturing centres of the Mother Country. On his return he was apptd. Chemist and Mineral, to the Geol. Survey, which position had been just rendered vacant by the resignation of Dr. T. Sterry Hunt. The Survey was at that time located in Montreal, and for the following 7 yrs. Dr. H. discharged the duties of both positions. In 1 879, increased duties at the Univ. obliged him to resign his connection with the Sur- vey. Since that time his attention has been devoted exclusively to Univ. work, the rapid growth of McGill Coll., and especially the greatly increased number of stu- dents in the Faculty of Applied Science, necessitating every year more extended courses of instruc- tion. In 1883, he was apptd. David Greenshields' Prof, of Chemistry and Mineral. , retaining at the same time, the position of Lecturer in Mining and Metall. This latter position, however, he retired from in 1891. We are indebted to Dr. H. for many contributions to science, especially in the domain of Can. mineral. A HARRIS. 441 list of his writings will be found in the "Bib. of the Royal Soc. of Can." His principal literary work is " The Life of Sir William Logan" (1883). He has been Presdt. of the Nat. Hist. Soc, Montreal, and was for many years ed. of the Can. Naturalist, now the Can. Record of Science. In addition to his purely academic degrees, Dr. H. is a Fellow of McGill Univ., of the Royal Soc. of Can. , as well as of the Geol. Soc. of London, and a mem. of the Am. Inst, of Mining Eng., and of the Am. Chemical Soc. He is also a dir. of the Cong. Coll., Montreal. In 1897, he served as V.-P. of the Chemistry sec. of the Brit. Assn. at Toronto.

He also studied in Italy, Belgium and Hol- land. On his return to Can. he spent 2 winters in Toronto, and was apptd. a mem. of the Royal Can. Acad, of Arts, on the forma- tion of that body, 1880, being nominated by the founder, the Marquis of Lome. After serving as Presdt. of the Ont. Soc. of Artists, he went to Paris for further study. While abroad he exhibited at the Royal Acad. , London, at the Paris Salon and other galleries. He took up his residence in Mont- real, 1883, and was dir. af the Art Sch. of the Montreal Art Assn. from that time up to 1887. He was elected Presdt. of the Royal Can. Acad, of Arts (succeeding L. R. O'Brien, who was the first Presdt.), 1890, but declined to serve. Elected again, 1893, he accepted the position, and has since been re-elected thereto at every annual meeting up to the present time. Mr. H. was awarded a medal at the World's Fair, Chicago, 1893. He is known principally as a figure and portrait painter. One of his early pictures, ' ' The School Trustees," is in the National Gal- lery, Ottawa ; also " The Fathers of Confederation," which was ex- ecuted under commission from the Dom. Govt , and which, so far as care and research could make it, is regarded as an accurate record of what it represents. Among the most successful of his portraits are those of H.

At the age of 16, Mrs. H. began writing for the press, reviews, essays and short stories, but she did not begin seriously to cultivate literature until leaving Ottawa about 9 yrs. ago. While a resident with her husband at the Federal capital, she wrote and com- posed a song of welcome for the initial appearance of the Marquis of Lansdowne in Can. She wrote sev- eral other songs, which were pub- lished in Eng., and likewise acted as musical critic for one of the large western dailies under the name of "Gilbert King." Since then she has contributed to The Strand, Temple Bar, the Atlantic Monthly, the Cosmopolitan, the New Eng. Mag., the Detroit Free Press, the Week, and was for some time on the editorial staff of the last-named journal. Of separate works she has published : " Crowded Out," a collection of short stories" (18S8) "The Can. Birth-Day Book," (1S89) "Pine, Rose and Fleur-de-Lis, : " Down the River" and other poems (1891). She was one of the first writers to explore the French-Can. field for character and descriptive sketches, and has done for the habitant of Lower Can. much the same service as Geo. W. Cable has done for the Creoles of Louisiana. She now writes under the nom de guerre of " Seranus," adopting it owing to an accidental error made regarding her signature. Several of her poems are included in Sted- man's " Victorian Anthology," and in Lighthall's " Songs of the Great Dom.," and her productions have all been favourably reviewed in the 444 HARRISON — HART. Can., Am. and Eng. press.

He is known in War Office circles as the inventor of cer- tain improvements on the Martini rifle, the merits of which have been frequently referred to in the Eng. press. He spent some time in Eng. in connection with his invention. Major H. has also visited, on mil. business, Russia, Prussia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Roumania, Ser- via, Austria, Saxony, France, Bel- gium and Italy.

Hart, a native of Can., who was for many yrs. a leading mem. of the St. Louis bar, and the granddau. of the late Benj. Hart, of Montreal. B. in St. Louis, Mo. , she was ed. in the east, and graduated with high honours. Society claimed her young woman- hood, until, becoming dissatisfied with [so aimless an existence, she finally drifted into the Kindergar- ten, St. Louis, the first real home of the Kindergarten in Am. , being the sch. where her labours and duties began, 1876. After graduating, she had charge of one of the best kinder- gartens in her native city, and sub- sequently, 1882-86, was associated with Miss Laura Fisher (now of Boston, Mass. ), in the Normal Kin- dergarten Sch. of St. Louis. From this institution she proceeded to To- ronto, and from 1886 to 1892, had charge of the Normal Training and HART. 445 Model Kindergarten in that city. A friend, Miss Adair, who is well qualified to speak in the premises, refers in the Kindergarten, News, Springfield, to the success attending her efforts in the capital of Ont. : "The rapid extension of the kinder- garten throughout Ont. and the JDom. of Can. has been mainly due to her ability and enterprise. Her appt. to the position of Provl. Inspr. of Kindergartens, 1890, gave added opportunities for furthering the cause so dear to her heart, and it is not too much to say, that from the great lakes of Ont. to the Pacific coast, wherever the Kindergarten has gained a foothold, Miss H. 's in- fluence and the inspiration of her life have gone with it ; and Can. kindergarteners speak her name with pride and gratitude." In the year 1892 she left Can., and after a year in the Normal Kindergarten, at Mil- waukee, Wisconsin, she accepted the important position which she now holds (1897) as Dir. of the Training Sch. of the Baltimore Kindergarten Assn. "No one," says the paper from which we have already quoted, " could be better suited to pioneer a freat cause than Miss H. With a rm belief in humanity, and the power of the kindergarten to form and enlarge individual character, and eventually to elevate the masses, her spirit is held above petty dis- 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 necessary. The 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 we learn that it is arranged that Miss H. is to take a prominent part in the lecture course of the Kindergar- ten Assn. in connection with Colum- bia Univ., Washington. Indeed, she has already delivered her first series of 5 lectures, and has won a flattering reception. — " The North- ampton," Baltimore, Md., U.S. HABT, Gerald E., author and numismatist, is the s. of the late Adolphus M.

Herridge (Meth.), by his wife, the late Emma Barkshire, and was b. at Reading, Eng., Jan. 14, 1857. His early education was received in part at the Model Sch., Toronto. Subse- quently he was a pupil of the Hamil- ton Coll. Inst, and of the Gait Coll. Inst., and matriculated at Toronto Univ. , where he won a treble scholar- ship. After his first year, in which he was 1st prizeman and winner of the classical scholarship, he spent the vacation in making a tour in Gt. Brit. He graduated B. A. in Toronto Univ. with high classical honours, 1880, and was also the winner of the 1 st prize for public speaking and the 1st prize for English essay. He began his theol. studies in Montreal Presb. Coll., and during his course was asst. in St. Paul's Ch., of that city. He graduated, 1883, gold med. in Theol., and having successfully passed the prescribed exams, was awarded the degree of B. D. During his course hewon the highest scholar- ships and prizes in the gift of the Coll. , and a travelling fellowship of $500, awarded to the student taking the highest place in all the years. Meantime, he had received a call to St. Andrew's Ch., Ottawa, and accepted it on condition of being afforded time in terms of the fellow- ship to continue his studies in Europe. He was accordingly in- ducted, Aug., 1883. After a few weeks of introductory work, he sailed for Europe, and spent a year in spe- cial study at Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. He also continued his researches on the continent for some time, especially in Italy, giving par- ticular attention to art and anti- quities, and returned to Can., 1884, since when he has laboured zealously and with much benefit and advan- tage to the whole community, as pastor of the principal Presb. ch. at the Federal capital. Mr. H. is a mem. of the Bd. of Management of the Presb. Coll. , Montreal ; a trus- tee of Queen's Univ., Kingston ; a Senator jl of Toronto Univ.; Presdt. of the Ottawa Art Assn. , and Presdt. of the Presb. Ladies' Coll., Ottawa. As a clergyman Mr. H. has brought to 'his work earnestness, thought, and outspoken manly presentation of truth. One of the aims he has always had in view has been the con- servation of religious peace with honour among the different sections of the Can. community. He takes it as a happy omen ' ' that thought- ful men in different chs. are ap- proaching one another along the lines of least resistance, are seriously ask- ing the question whether it is God's will whether there should be such a perplexing number of sects and ' de- 460 HERRING — HIBBARD. nominations,' and are realizing with growing clearness that the weakest part of a man's creed is that which is peculiar to himself, and the strong- est part that which he holds in com- mon with all who really desire the name of Christian. In this land of ours, where religious tolerance has such full opportunity for its dis- play, we ought to be able to contrib- ute our part in answering the prayer of Christ Himself that His Ch. on earth may be one." Among the most important of his contributions to literature have been essays on "Beethoven," "Milton," "Robert Browning," and " Woman : Her Place and Work." Politically, he is Ind.

HERRING, Richard Owen, journal- ist, was b. in Cornwall, Eng., 1846, and was brought to this country when 6 yrs. of age. Having served his apprenticeship to the printing business, he established a paper in Goderieh under the name of the Canadian Colonist, now the Star, but sold it in less than a year. After a brief course at Ann Arbor Univ., Mich., he came to Oil Wells, Ont. , at the time the big flowing wells were first struck, Jan., 1865, and there started the Oil Springs Chronicle, which lived till Dec, 1866, when, as he expres- sively relates, "The Fenian raid knocked the bottom out of the town." Coming later to Petrolea, he founded the Advertiser, which was really a continuation of the Chronicle, and which he has con- tinued to publish uninterruptedly ever since, with a brief exception of a few months' interregnum in 1871, when the oil business was so low that it would not pay to issue a paper, crude oil being sold for 20 cents a barrel, while ordinary drink- ing water brought 25 cents a barrel. Mr. H. 's paper is called the Petrolea Advertiser and Can. Oil Journal, and it is now, and has long been, regarded as the only recognized authority of the oil industry in Can.

In Oct., 1862, he founded, in Victoria, the Morning Chronicle, a journal which was sub- sequently amalgamated with the Brit. Colonist, the new paper taking the name of the Colonist and Chroni- cle, but reverting afterwards to the older title simply. He remained the owner and ed. of the Colonist up to Oct., 1886, when he disposed of his interest therein and retired from journalism, after an almost unbroken editorial career of 31 yrs. In addition to his newspaper work, he served the public interests in other directions. He was for some yrs. a mem. of the Victoria City Council, a mem. of the Sch. Bd., Chairman of the Bd. of Education, Presdt. of the Victoria Fire Dept. , and Presdt. of the National Electric Tramway Co. , of the latter of which he was the chief promoter.

Here he re- mained until Feb., 1877, when he was elected unanimously min. of the large and populous parish of St. Paul's, Dundee. In Sept., 18S2, he was nominated by the Scotch Comnrs. to his present charge as min. of St. Andrew's Ch., Mont- real, in connection with the Ch. of Scot., to which he was inducted Nov. 15, in that year.

HILL, James J., railway pro- moter and president, was b. near Guelph, Ont., Sept. 16, 1838, and is of Irish-Scotch origin. Ed. at the Rockwood Acad., he spent his early yrs. on his father's farm. On the latter's death, he went west, and was for some yrs. a elk. in various mercantile houses in St. Paul, Minn. In 1865, after having raised a co. for service during the war, he took the agency of the North- Western Packet Co., and continued in that position until the consolidation of the North- Western and Davidson lines, 1867. From the latter year to 1869 he was engaged in the general transporta- tion and fuel business, and was the agent and consignee of the St. Paul and Pacific Ry. Co. In 1869 the firm of Hills, Griggs & Co. was formed to carry on this business, and continued in operation till 1875. In 1870 Mr. H. established the Red River Transportation Co. , and open- ed up for the first time regular and direct communication between St. Paul and Port Garry, now Winni- peg. In 1871 he consolidated this co. with one previously established by N. W. Kittson, and was brought into contact with Sir D. A. Smith (now Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, q. v. ), who became an asso- ciate in the business. Later, in 1878, he was instrumental in form- ing a syndicate, composed of the present Lord Mount Stephen, the present Lord Strathcona, himself and others, who secured from the Dutch Comte. at Amsterdam the bonds of the St. Paul and Pacific Ry., which ry. had passed into the hands of a receiver. The syndicate obtained possession of the road, and Mr. H. was made its Mang.-Dir. Out of this sprang the organization, composed mainly of the same par- ties, who afterwards built the Can. Pac. Ry. In 1883 he sold out his interest in the Can. Pac. Ry. to his associates, retired from the direc- torate, and from that time has de- voted his entire attention to the business of the St. Paul, Minne- apolis and Man. Ry., or to the system of roads which has since re- ceived the general designation of the Great Northern Ry. The history of this road, the completion of which to Puget Sound was celebrated at 464 HILTS — HIND. St. Paul in 1893, redounds greatly to his organizing capacity and energy of character. The road is a con- tinental system, extending from Lake Superior and St. Paul to Puget Sound, with branches to Helena and Butte, and projecting south- ward from Minn, into Southern Dakota, and except that part of the system lying within the limits of Minn. , has Tjeen built without the aid of land grants or any form of subsidy. It is supplemented by lines of steamships on the lakes, of approved capacity and speed, and by a fleet of vessels connecting the Pacific terminus of the Great Northern with China and Japan. Of this road he continues to be Presdt. He is also Presdt. of the Northern Express Co. Mr. H. was early and happily m., and is the father of 9 children. In honour of his wife, who is a R.

In his published account of these undertakings Prof. H. describes for the first time the extent and char- acter of the Can. fisheries. Re- signing his professorship, 1864, he next undertook a preliminary geol. survey of N. B. , for the Govt, of that Province. In 1866 he removed to N. S. , and subsequently made an examination of the gold dists. there for the local govt. In 1876 he made an exploration of the mineral field in the north-eastern portion of Nf d. , and thence on the Atlantic Coast of Labrador, nearly as far north as Nain, or about 350 miles north of the Straits of Belle Isle. While thus engaged he discovered and mapped an extensive series of cod banks, stretching for several hun- dred miles north-west of Belle Isle, and about 20 or 30 miles from the coast line. At the close of 1876 his Rervices were secured by the Nfd. Govt, to examine and report on the newly discovered cod banks, as far as Hudson's Straits, but just before setting 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.

Halifax. He was created a Q. C. by the Marquis of Lome, 1880, and was 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 protected against unfair competition, espe- cially as to markets, so that all com- petitors may be on an equal footing. Occupations, or industries to which a country is not adapted by nature, climate, or facility of production, 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 be adopted, and these be aided by the best education in science, literature and art, always aiming at the very highest position attainable as a nation in religion and morality, as well as social relations.

Hosmer, and was b. at Coteau Landing, P.Q., Nov. 12, 1851, and ed. there. He learned telegraphy at the age of 14, and has followed the business ever since ; was Supt. of the Dom. Tel.

He is on the directorate of the Postal Tel. Co. and of the Mont- real Gas Co., and is a V.-P. of the Commercial Cable Co. In an article contributed by him to " Puck's Gir- dle ; or, Gleanings from the Postal and Telegraphic World" (1889), he recounts some of the leading features of his present charge — a charge which has been the means of work- ing a revolution in the commercial life of all parts of Can. during the past 10 yrs. "In former days the Great N. W. Tel. Co. had undisputed con- trol of the entire telegraphic business of Can. , and so great was the power that it exercised for good or for evil that people began to seriously ask themselves whether such exclusive power should not belong alone to the Govt., and be subject to popular con- trol. As was the case, however, with Eng. railways, so it was with the Can. telegraph system ; relief from the danger was speedily found in competition. 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 possessed 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 HOUGHTON — HOUSTON. 477 article refd. to, that the C. P. Co. has not forgotten the need for a high- class telegraphic service. This care in establishing an efficient line was made all the more necessary by the enormous lengths of the circuits ■which have to be worked. Mr. H. says that direct circuits (duplexed) are worked regularly between San Francisco and New Westminster, 1200 miles ; between New West- minster and Winnipeg, 1472 miles ; and Winnipeg and Montreal, 1423 miles ; while, after 6 o'clock, Win- nipeg and New York work direct with each other over a distance of nearly 2000 miles, and on Sundays New York and San Francisco are put in direct connection, a distance of over 4600 miles. And this is not all, for Mr. H., speaking of that bee-hive of industry, his central office in Montreal, says that in the opera- ting room of the co. can be seen telegrams passing to and fro between San Francisco and New York, Chi- cago, etc., and also messages going back and forth between San Fran- cisco, Vancouver, B.C., and other Pacific points, and China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Batavia, etc. Let us presume that one of the regular steamers of the C. P. P»y. has just sailed from Vancouver to Yoko- hama, a distance of 4232 miles, which she makes in from 12 to 14 days. The telegram announcing her departure to the agents in Yoko- hama would go via Montreal to New York, 3500 miles ; thence across the Atlantic to Eng. , 3000 miles ; Eng. , via Gibraltar, Malta, Alexandria, Aden, Bombay, Madras, Singapore, to Hong Kong, 8500 miles ; and to Yokohama, 1600 miles, or a, total distance from Vancouver to Yoko- hama of 16,600 miles — that is, nearly 4 times the distance covered by the steamer.

Inspr. of Fish- eries for the Province of P. E. I. He is a J. P. for his co. Although an ardent and industrious student, his efforts at literary production have been desultory rather than systema- tic. Not posing as a mag. writer, many articles of his, critical and ar- tistic, archaeological, and in poetry and fiction, have found their way into high-class periodicals here and in Eng. His taste savours of pro- nounced medisevalism, as might, perhaps, be expected in the mem. of a family which does not accept the political latitudinarianism of tho times. His writings are well known, especially in the Maritime Pro- vinces. Among the lesser of them are fragments of a lyric poem : ' ' John 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," with others.

He exchanged this position, in 1865, for that of Prin- cipal of the united Grammar and Common schs. of Dundas. In 1871 he became Head-master of the St. Catharines Grammar Sch. , an insti- tution which, while under his man- agement, was elevated to the rank of a Coll. Inst. In 1874 he accepted the charge of the Provl. Inst, for the Blind, Brantford. Here he re- mained until 1881, when he was called to take charge of the Dept. of Ins. for Ont., for which his know- ledge of Law, Math, and Finance specially adapted him. While fill- ing these several positions, Mr, H. was afforded opportunities of render- ing special and important services to the cause of education. Besides being a frequent contributor to periodical literature, he has pub- lished a pamphlet entitled the " Upper Canada College Question " (1868); a "Manual of Insurance Law" (1881); and has written several articles for " Picturesque Can." He was also selected, 1882, to edit a set of " Royal Readers " for the public schs. "Mr. Hunter is not only one of the most accom- Elished teachers in the Province, ut he is also a man endowed with a power of deep and original thought, with a love of learning which amounts to enthusiasm, and with the rare gift of being able to infuse his spirit into others. As a writer, we know of none in Can. with a style more pure, clear and vigorous." — ( Fide the late Hon. Thos. White, M.P.) In legislation, Mr. H. has drawn a number of the most important recent statutes in Ins. and Company Law. He has been associated with his sons, W. H. and A. T.

B. at Millbrook, Meh. 3, 1858, he was ed. at the same place, and since 488 HUNTER — HUNTON. his earliest yrs. has had a predilec- tion for caricature. He first de- voted himself to newspaper illustra- ting about 13 yrs. ago, during which time he exercised both pen and pencil, much of his paragraphing finding a market among the comic weeklies in the U. S. Several yrs. were spent in the Can. West, study- ing Indian life and the picturesque of the plains, and his reproductions of native life found ready sale both there and in the east. The last 3 or 4 yrs. have been devoted to cari- cature exclusively, during which time this work has been a feature of many of the leading Can. dailies. At present Mr. H.'stime is occupied in producing cartoons for the To- ronto World, and very often he has produced 12 to 17 political cari- catures a week, a record which per- haps few cartoonists have yet essayed for any length of time. Such a strain requires relaxation, however, and July and August of each year are spent in camping out, fishing, exploring and roughing it generally among the northern lakes. He is a firm belie ver in the possibilities of Can., and desires to see it occupy the position of a nation in the near future. He m.

Apptd. to Park- dale, Toronto, he subsequently accepted a call to Erskine Ch., same city.

(B.A. and gold med. in Nat. Science, 1883; M.A., 1886). He became asst. master in the Cobourg Coll. Inst., a position he filled till his appt. as Prof, of Chemistry at the Ont. Ag. Coll., Guelph, 1886. Principal Mills writes that: "Prof. James was popular at the Inst. , both with the students and with his fellow-pro- fessors. His lectures were always prepared with the greatest care and delivered with that clearness pecu- liar to his style, which rendered them so attractive. So completely satisfactory were his lectures that his many friends who were cogni- zant of this fact, while they rejoiced to hear of his promotion to another branch of the public service, felt that the Ag. Coll. would sustain a severe loss in his removal." The promotion referred to was his appt. as Depty. Mr. of Agricul. and as Secy, of the Ont. Bureau of Indus- tries, which took effect from June, 1891. In this new position, by his ability, knowledge and peculiar fit- ness for the duties entrusted to him, he has earned credit both for himself and for the govt, to whose wisdom and discernment he owes his appt.

Licensed, June, 1867, he was ordained as a min. of the Ch. of Scot, by the Presby. of Glasgow, Scot., 1869, and went to India in the same year as a mission. He was 1 yr. in Bombay and 6 yrs. in Calcutta, as Principal of the Genl. Assembly's Coll. He returned on furlough, 1877, but did not go back to India, on account of the climate. He was a min. of the Presb. Ch. of Can., 1878-93, holding positions as pastor of St. Paul's Ch. , Chatham, N.B., St. John's Ch., Brockville, and St. Paul's Ch., Prince Albert, JARVIS. 501 N. W. T. He is the author of "The Elements of the Psychology of Cog- nition" (1874), a work which has reached a third edition ; " What to Believe" (1876), and was a con- tributor to the Calcutta Rev. For many yrs. he had entertained doubts regarding the correctness of ortho- dox doctrines, and gave much atten- tion to Oriental religions. In Prince Albert, retired from the active ministry through force of circum- stances, he investigated freely the origins of Christianity, resulting in convictions that Presb. and other branches of the Cath. Ch. are far removed from Primitive Christianity in consequence 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 the list of ministers, not wishing to occupy a false position. He then went to Chicago and affili- 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 Religions, held in 1893, and is likely, he thinks, to lead to a very important progressive move- ment of religious thought and life. He m.

B. in Toronto, May 31, 1854, he received the earlier part of his education at U. C. Coll., and at 17 was sent away for a year's travel, his father judging this to be more profitable than a Univ. course. After seeing Europe, and passing a winter in Italy, the s. visited various orien- tal countries, and at his return had perhaps travelled more widely than any other Can. His first effort in literature : ' ' Letters from East Lon- gitudes," was compiled from letters written while in the East to his par- ents. It was dedicated, by permis- sion, to the Earl of Dufferin, then Gov. -Genl. of Can., who showed the beginner a good deal of favour, and much praised its descriptions of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. From 1875 to 1880, Mr. J. took the law course, being articled to Sir O. Mowat, and when called to the bar passed second among 40 competitors. For many yrs. a mem. of the Royal Can. Yacht Club, the stu- dies of law and yachting were made together, in his usual division of outdoor and indoor work ; and he was afterwards given the command of numerous yachts in the annual and international regattas — among which were the vessels of Commo- dore Bos well, who preferred him to a professional. Niagara Falls, Can. , was chosen as the town in which to commence his practice, and he soon appeared as counsel in some impor- tant extradition cases, which were fully reported at the time. Under commission from the Dom. Govt. , he was apptd., 1883, to act judicially in extradition matters in Ont. During the next 9 yrs. he was twice sent to Eng. to arrange settle- ment of estates for clients in Am. His practice, however, lay chiefly in the criminal cts. , and this assisted him in the mechanism of a novel which the Appletons of N. Y. pub- lished, 1890. "Geoffrey Hampstead" was the most widely reviewed novel of its year in the U. S. The 2nd ed. was published in Can. The JARVIS. 503 scene is laid in Toronto, and the book is partly a study of heredity, dealing with the rights, wrongs and tragedies of different people who, as the Chicago Times says, "are not novelists' creations, but the real men and women we live among, and whom we grow to know as we know our own brothers and sisters. " By the Am. press (163 reviews collected) the author was guessed at different- ly, owing to the variety of detail in the book. He was suggested to be a banker, a detective, a " society man," a "science professor," and a lawyer, while all seem to agree that he was a yachtsman. As this novel was written for amusement during odd hours, its success suggested that works of fancy were really pleasanter than addressing juries ; and in 1891, Mr. J. moved to N. Y. to take up the life of letters. Here he held the yachting editor- ship of two papers, and contributed to various mags. A Boston publi- cation, which pays the largest prices in Am. , accepted 1 1 of his stories, and in the year of the World's Fair he produced his second novel : " Doc- tor Perdue," which took the $1000 prize in Chicago. This was in some respects a sequel to " Geoffrey Hampstead," in which the leading character provided a, study of the mixture of good and evil in one person — his finer points not, how- ever, saving him from penitentiary in the end : and in " Doctor Perdue " is shown the same man after the chastening of grief and solitude had brought to the front the obscured 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. J.'s next work, "The Ascent of Life," was published in 6 serial articles in the Arena mag., and was afterwards issued in book form. It commences by reciting personal experiments in mesmerism, where various patients exhibited a clairvoyance, which was tested to prove with scientific certitude that the human being contains faculties capable of obtaining knowledge in channels other than those of the ordinary five senses. The reality and completeness of this thought transference has 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 truths thus obtained are continued towards explaining the advance of all natural life into higher grades. Into the appendix is placed a large collection of re- ported med. cases which exhibit the extraordinary effects of mental impressions 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 abilities of the coming offspring when such mental conditions are present in the parent during gesta- tion. In the human being the im- provements effected by the gradual advancing of the ideals are carefully traced, and the same principles and processes in regard to prenatal in- fluences are shown to affect the evolution of all living creatures, from the lowest upwards. The Arena says : " Stinson Jarvis has bridged the gap at which Darwin was halted, and by extending scien- tific methods into the examination of more immaterial processes has given an aid and new viat-i to the study of evolution which have established his name in the realm of lasting and valuable literature"; "The Ascent of Life " was issued early in 1894, the author spending the remainder of the year in Paris and London, where his works had made him friends in the artistic commu- nity. From here he published, 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, we are sure from his writing that with him Eng. will always be his country and Can. his home. Hem.

They possess an irresistible passion and ardour. Nothing stronger than ' As Red Men Die,' was ever published in Can. ; nothing more sympathetic with na- ture, and hence more thoroughly artistic than ' In April. ' And as regards prose, one has but to read such a sketch as ' Prone on the Earth,' to appreciate Miss J.'s power and delicacy of touch upon the harp-strings of human nature."

KEEFER, Charles Henry, C.E., is the eld. s. of T. C. Keefer, C.M.G. {q.v.). B. at Rideau Hall, Ottawa, May 7, 1851, he studied for his pro- fession under his father. He began the practice of engineering, 1869, on a preliminary survey for the Ottawa Water-works, and was employed the same year on another survey, for the Dom. Dept. of Public Works. In 1870 he was engaged on the con- struction of the Can. Pac. Ry. be- tween Ottawa and Carleton Place, and, in 1871, on the construction of the Chaudiere branch of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Ry. From 1871 to 1875 he was engaged on the construction of the Ottawa Water- works, and, for 2 yrs. thereafter, on the location of surveys for the Can. Pac. Ry. in the Yellow Head Pass, Rocky Mts. After devoting several yrs. to harbour works and the surveys for the ship channel between Montreal and Quebec, and bridge and ry. work, he took charge of work in connection with the location and construction of branches in Penn. of the N.Y., Lake Erie and Western Ry., and of the construc- tion on that line of the well-known Kinzua Viaduct, 301 ft. in height and 2053 ft. in length. Subsequently, he was employed on the construc- tion of the Can. Pac. Ry. in the Kick- ing Horse Pass, B. C. He was then engaged in canal work, and was in general practice in Toronto for some time. At present he is making re- ports on water-works, sewerage, water-power and other engineering works in Ottawa and in the con- struction of bridges. He was one of the original mems. of the Soc. of C. E., and was on its Council, 1892-93. He is a mem. of the Ch. of Eng., and m. 1877, Lucy M., dau. of the late Alpheus Jones, Prescott, Ont. — " Roclccliffe," Ottawa,. KEEFER, George Alexander, C.E., is the 2nd and only surviving s. of the late Geo. Keefer, jr., C.E., of Thorold, Ont. , where he was b. Jan. 22, 1843. Ed. at the U. C. Coll., he was first employed on the survey of the G. T. Ry., Vaudreuil and Ottawa branch, 1856, and after- wards on the Brockville and Ottawa branch, under his uncle, the late Samuel Keefer, C.E. Subsequently, he became an engr. on the Grand Junction Ry., from Belleville to Peterboro', and he made the first exploration for » direct line of ry. from Ottawa to Toronto (now the C. P. route). Entering the govt, service, 1872, he was employed in the preliminary surveys for the Can. Pac. Ry., in the Rocky Mts. through the Yellow Head Pass, and remained in that service until the completion of the B. C. sec. by the Govt, and its transfer to the C. P. Ry. Co., 1886. He constructed one of the heaviest sections in the Fraser River can- yons — on which a station named " Keefers " is established. He has since constructed the water- works for the city of Vancouver, by bringing the water of the Capitano River from the mts. on the north side of Burrard Inlet, by a submerged pipe in a rapid tideway. He has also constructed dykes and drainage works in B. C. , and is now engaged in genl. practice there. When the Russian engrs. examined the C. P. Ry. previous to the commence- ment of their Siberian road, they offered a Can. syndicate a contract for the terminal section on the Pacific at Vladivostock, at prices which induced the syndicate to send over an engr. to examine and report upon the question, Mr. K. being selected for this purpose. He took steamer from Victoria to Japan, and thence to Vladivostock, going over the proposed route between that sea- port and the Amoor River, and re- porting thereon to his employers on his return. Mr. K. is a mem. of the Soc. of Am. C. E. and of the Can. Soc. of C. E. , and is now on the Council of the last-named body. He holds a 1st class M. S. cert. , and was a commissioned officer in the V.

KEEFER, Thomas Coltrin, C.E., is grandson of an Alsatian Huguenot, who came to Am. in early life, set- tling in the Brit. Province of N. J., and who afterwards served in the Brit, army during the Am. revolu- tionary war. S. of Geo. Keefer, a U. E. Loyalist, by his wife, Jane, dau. of Edward McBride, who represented the town of Niagara in the Parlt. of U. C. , he was born at Thorold, Ont. , Nov. 4, 1821, and received his ed. at TJ. 0. Coll. At 17 he commenced his career as an engr. , being first em- ployed on the Erie Canal. Trans- ferring his services, soon afterwards, to the Welland Canal, he remained connected with that work until 1845. He 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 important improvements which are in use to this day, and giving every satisfaction to those interested. In 1849 he produced his "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 Influence of the Canals of Can. on her Agriculture," 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 subsequently published various other essays, lec- tures, reports and papers, a full list of which is given in the "Bibliog- raphy 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 these are a monograph favouring the con- struction of the Can. Pac. Ry. (1869). and one dealing with Can. water- ways from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic (1894). Re-entering the service of the Govt., 1850, he was employed in making a survey of the rapids of the 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 tho 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 ardent 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 securing the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854. On the termination of this work, he was engaged in making preliminary surveys for the Grand Trunk Ry. between Montreal and Toronto. At the same time he made a report and prepared plans as to the feasibility of bridging the St. Lawrence River at Point St. Charles, Montreal. The result of this was the construction of the Victoria Bridge, which was undertaken on the survey and report of Mr. K. At a later period, he was employed in con- structing water- works for the cities of Montreal, Hamilton, Ottawa and elsewhere. He was the engr. of the Montreal Harbour Comn. for some yrs. , and was the first to propose the dredging of the channel at Lake St. Peter to a depth of more than 16 J feet. He afterwards served as Chair- man of the Royal Comn. on Ice Floods. Owing to his efforts, the change of the narrow gauge to the standard gauge on rys. in Can. was effected. He was apptd. a Can. comnr. for the first Internl. Exhn. in London, 1851 ; a comnr. on behalf of Can. to the Internl. Exhn. , Lon- don, 1862 ; and an ex. comnr. to the Paris Exhn., 1878. At the last- named exhn. he was made a mem. of the Internl. Jury for Architecture and Engineering, was created an officer of the Legion of Honour, and received from H. M. the decoration of a C.M.G. After the construc- tion of the Can. Pac. Ry. he was chosen to act as one of the arbitra- tors in the case between the Dom. Govt, and the Can. Pac. Ry. Co. , KEEFER. 523 arising out of the construction of the Onderdonk sees, of the road. His latest appt. is that of Internl. Deep Water-ways Comnr. for enquiring into the practicability and cost of a ship canal between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic seaboard. Mr. K. is a mem. of the Inst, of . C. E., Eng., and of the Am. Soc. of C. E. , of which body he was elected V.-P., 1886 and 1887, and Presdt., 18S8. He was one of the founders of the Can. Soc. of C.

Loyalist stock, being the only surviving s. of the late Peter Keef er, of Gait, Ont. , whose father and grandfather served with the Loyalists during the Am. re- volutionary war. Ed. at Gait Grammar Sch., and at Toronto Univ. (B.A., with 1st prize in Agricul., 1864), he graduated in Med. at McGill Univ., 1869. In the same yr. he passed the mil. sch. of instruction, Toronto, and obtained a cert, for a commission in the local militia. Proceeding to the Mother Country, he passed for the Royal Coll. of Surg., Edinburgh, at Apothecaries' Hall, London, and registered, as a practitioner, in Gt. Brit, and Irel., 1869. Having determined to enter the Imp. med. service, he underwent the com- petitive exam, at Chelsea, and, in 1870, after following the prescribed course at the Royal Victoria Hos- pital, Netley, passed the final exam, and received a commission as asst. surg. in H. M.'s Indian forces. After arriving in India he passed the lower standard in Hindustani, was promoted surg., 1875, and, in 1881, attained the rank of surg.- major. After a more than usually eventful experience, Surg.-Maj. K. retired from the army, 1889, and in the same yr., m.

(mentioned in despatches) ; the Jowaki campaign, when he again received the clasp ; the Afghan war of 1878-79, in which he was present at the capture of Ali Musjid and the occupation of Jellalabad, and received for services performed the Afghan medal and the Ali Musjid clasp ; the Afghan war of 1879-80 ; the Zalmusht expdn., dur- ing which Zowa was taken, at which he was present ; the Egyptian campaign, where his services pro- cured for him the following decora- tions : the Egyptian medal and Tel-el-Kebir clasp ; the Khedive's bronze star, and the Order of Osma- nieh. Besides the numerous dis- tinctions already enumerated, he attracted the attention of the com- manding officers on almost every expdn. by his attention to duty, his skill and his fearlessness amid scenes of extremest danger, and the num- ber of times that he received honour- 524 REEGAN — KEHOE. able mention is, perhaps, the crown of all his honours.

KEEGAN, Mias Mary, actress, is the dau. of the late Geo. W. Kee- gan, barrister, Hamilton, Ont., and a grand-dau. of the late Dr. Thos. Keegan, a native of Irel. , who re- moved to U. C. from Halifax, N. S. , 1833. B. in Hamilton, Ont., Miss K. was ed. at the Convent in Belle- ville, and afterwards at the Sa- cred Heart, Montreal. At an early age she snowed marked dramatic ability, and as a consequence felt a strong desire to adopt 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 under the care of M. and Mme. de l'Aubiniere, the well- known Can. 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 finally 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 became leading lady of this organization, and oppor- tunity favouring her, she subse- 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 Benzon. From this time she appeared in many parts, at the same time continuing her studies with great application. Her first public success was as Polly Fletcher, an original rdle in the Am. play, "A Lost Paradise." Then she achieved increased distinction in the leading emotional part in the same play, that of Margaret Knowlton, the two assumptions affording a good range of her versatility. Her next important rdle was that of Blanche Tremaine in " The Black Cat," by Dr. Todhunter, a play that re- ceived the confirmation of the Ind. Theatre Soc. of London. As the adventuress of the piece, Miss K. gained nothing but praise for a charming pourtrayal 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 Grace Roseberry in "The New Magdalen."

In 1886, when en- gaged in journalistic work on the World, he organized the Toronto Humane Soc. , which has since ac- complished a great work and has led to the formation of some 10 or 15 similar socs. In 1888 Mr. K. established the Toronto Children's Fresh Air Fund, which has provided free picnics and lunches for over 30,000 poor children in the hot summer months. Recognizing the need for protecting children from cruelty and neglect, he organized, 1891, the Children's Aid Soc, into which the Fresh Air Fund became merged. This soc, which was the 526 KENDRY— KENNEDY. first of the kind to be formed in Can. , entered upon an agitation for better laws for children, with the result that the Ont. Legislature in 1893 adopted a progressive Chil- dren's Protection Act. This Act created a State guardianship of ne- glected and dependent children, and in deference to the wishes of the various philanthropic organizations of the province, Mr. K. was apptd. Supdt. of neglected and dependent children of Ont. Since assuming office he has organized Children's Aid Socs. in all the larger cities and towns, and has created a widespread interest in this work.

He was ed. at a common sch.', and is unm. When not 20 yrs. of age he joined the staff of the Hamilton Spectator as local ed. , and later, during what is known as the ' ' boom " year, he became ed. of the 530 KERR. Winnipeg Sun. He is widely known as the author of many clever songs and of patriotic and humorous verse, written under the nom de plume of "The Khan." Chief among his poems are the "Men of the North- ern Zone," which has been set to music; "Canada First"; the "Fron- tier Way"; "Ya-houk"; "The Wabagoon"; "All Night Long"; " Peepy," etc. These appeared originally in the World, Telegram and Globe, Toronto, and have since been included in a volume from his pen published in 1896 with the title: "The Khan's Canticles." It was the opinion of the late Sir John Macdonald that if Can. ever went to war our soldiers would march to battle singing the " Men of the Northern Zone." The wide popu- larity of some of "The Khan's" ■ poems was attested by the late Mr. Blaine, Am. Secy, of State, who, in introducing him to a friend, did so in these terms : ' ' This is the young Canuck who a hundred years hence will be known to fame as the author of ' When Daddy comes home with his wages!'" "The Khan " has likewise published " The Tattleton Papers " (1894). The ori- gin of his nom de plume is given as follows : At a ball given by some French-Can. friends, he was intro- duced to a young lady who found it difficult to pronounce his name. She naively said she would break the name in two and pronounce one- half of it at a time, and so, for the rest of the evening, she called him "M'sieur Khan." A newspaper man, overhearing Mr. K. so ad- dressed, readily accepted the name on his behalf, and, on the following day, attached it to one of his bal- lads in the Toronto World. It stuck. Mr. K. was born a farmer, 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 the annexationist. He be- lieves that the day is not far distant when liberty, literature and virtue, civilization and religion, and the arts and sciences will find their only asylum among " the men of the Northern Zone." The only office he has ever filled is that of vestry clerk. — " Rushdale Farm," Boekton, Ont. "Possesses the most decided poetical vein of all our Can. verge writers." — John A. Ewan.

Mr. K. was an unsuc- cessful candidate for the same rid- ing, 1878, 1882 and 1885, being defeated by narrow majorities owing to the infhience of the N.

He served in the Eastern campaign from Nov., 1854, to the evacuation of the Crimea, taking part in various engagements, being mentioned in despatches, and receiving the war medal with clasp, the Turkish medal and the Medjedie, for his services. Later, he served in India during the Mutiny in pur- suit of Tantia Topee, and was staff offr. of a field force in the Rewah Kantee dist., 1860 (medal) ; in the Transvaal expdn., 1881 ; during the Rebellion in the N.W.T., Can., 1885, as second in command, and as commandant of the base and lines of communication (medal and recommended for a C.M.G-.), and during the Servo-Bulgarian war, 1885-86 (medal). He attained the rank of lt.-genl., Dec, 1887, and is now on the retired list. He is a Knight of the Order of St. Sava and of the Order of the Red Cross of Servia, and a D.C.L. of King's Coll., Windsor, N.S. (1883). He came to Can. at the time of the 'Trent affair, 1861, and was Inspg. Field Offr. of Mil. in N. S. for 5 yrs., dur- ing which 50,000 men were regularly trained in that Province, 15,000 be- ing actually under arms after the Fenian invasion, 1866. Subsequent- ly, he was Depty. Adjt. -Genl. of Mil. in N. S., and in recognition of his services was presented with a hand- some testimonial by the volunteer force, 1883. He sat in the Con. interest for Shelburne in the Can. Ho. of Commons, 1887-91 ; was an unsuccessful candidate for Pem- broke and Haverford West in Eng. Ho. of Commons, at g. e. 1892 ; but was returned for that seat at the g. e. 1895. He was Grand Master of the Freemasons of N. S., 1874-80; and twice offered to raise a regt. in N. S. for active service abroad. He took great interest in rifle-shooting, and was the life of the movement in N. S. A practical farmer while in N. S. , he was Presdt. of the Cen- tral Bd. of Agriculture, 1874-75, and he owned and exhibited a fine herd of thoroughbred Durham cattle, his example giving a valuable impulse to agricul. in that Province. In Eng. he was a master of the Sad- dlers' Co., 1892-93, and he is now a mem. of the Ex. Council of the City Polytechnic, and of the City and Guilds Inst. , and of the Northamp- ton Inst.

Coming to Can., 1842, he was ed. at Cobourg, Ont. He likewise learned the printing business at that place, and was for some yrs. publisher of the Owen Sound Times, and, subsequently, of the Essex Record. Proceeding to the N. W. T., 1869, he established the Saskatchewan Herald (Prince Albert), 1878 — the first paper issued in the Territories, and also the first paper issued west of Winnipeg. This newspaper he continues to edit 566 LAURIER. and publish. He is known also as the publisher of some early maps of Man. and the N. W. T. For some yrs. he was Inspr. of Sohs. at Battle- ford.

Sir Wilfrid, statesman, is the only child of the late Carolus Laurier, P.L.S., by his first wife, Mareelle Martineau. B. at St. Lin, Nov. 20, 1841, he received his early education at a mixed sch. in his native parish. Later, he took a full classical course at L'Assomption Coll. In 1860 he began the study of law in Montreal in the office of the late Hon. R. Laflamme, Q.C., afterwards Mr. of Justice of Can. and one of his ministerial colleagues at Ottawa. He followed the law course at Mc- Gill Univ. (B.C.L., 1864), and was called to the bar the same year. His first appearance in court is said to have elicited the most favourable comments from the presiding judge. After practising for 3 yrs. , however, his health gave way, and he was advised to seek country air. He went to L'Avenir, E.T., where he assumed the editorship of Le De- fricheur, a Reform journal pre- viously conducted by J. B. E. Dorion ("L'Enfant Terrible")." With the restoration of his health, he opened a law office at St. Christophe — now Arthabaskaville — which had been made the chef lieu of the new judicial dist. of Drummond and Arthabaska. There he continued to reside up to his removal to Ottawa as Prime Minister of Can., 1896. Always a diligent student, he became a powerful and skilful counsel in both civil and criminal cases, and it was not long before he succeeded in securing a con- siderable share of the legal busi- ness pertaining to that section of the Province — being ably assisted in his office by his several partners, one of whom was Edouard Richard (q.v.) and another Joseph (now Mr. Justice) Lavergne (q.v.). In ac- knowledgment of his professional ominence, he was created a Q. C. by the Marquis of Lome, 1880. Later, he was included in the Royal Comn. , apptd. to revise the Code of Civil Procedure, P. Q. As a politi- cian, he first came into notice as an associate of Dorion, Laflamme, Hol- ton, Papin, Laberge and others of the old Lib. sch. in L. C, and his first laurels as a speaker were won in the halls of the Inst. Canadien, Montreal, of which body he was elected a V.-P. In his maturer years, he calls himself "a Lib. of the Eng. sch. — a pupil of Charles James Fox, Danl. O'Connell, and of the greatest of them all, William Ewart Gladstone." He entered aetive public life, 1871, being then returned to the Quebec Assembly for Drummond and Arthabaska by a majority of 1000 over his Con. opponent, E. J. Hemming. " His delimt in the Legislature " says the Toronto Globe, "is said by those whose memories go back to that time to have produced a sensation, not more by the finished grace of his oratorical abilities than by the boldness and authority with which he handled the deepest political problems." The effect of "his fluent, cultivated and charming discourse " is described by Frechette, the poet, as magical. " On the following day," he writes, ' ' the name of Laurier was on every lip and all who then heard it will remember how those two syllables, in their heroic suggestive- ness, rang out true and clear — their tone 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 seat in the Legislature and was returned by the same constituency to the Ho. of Commons. When Parlt. met he was selected to second the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne, the late Chief-Justice Moss being the mover. His speech on that occasion it has been said marked him for early appt. to the Cabinet. Indeed, David not long afterward pronounced him : " The most re- markable Parliamentary orator now LAURIER. 567 possessed by Lower Canada." In Nov., 1876, he entered the Mac- kenzie Admn. , as Mr. of Inl. Revenue, succeeding the late Hon. F. Geoffrion in that office. On returning to his constituents for re-election he met with defeat. He was, however, at once returned for Quebec East, which constituency has ever since remained his political foster-mother. At the last g. e. he was returned for both Quebec East and Saskatchewan, and elected to sit for his old con- stituency. When the Mackenzie Govt, was defeated at the polls, 1878, Mr. L. had been for some yrs. the acknowledged leader of the Lib. party in the Province of Quebec. He accompanied his friends into Opposition, and there for 18 yrs. calmly awaited the change in political sentiment which was to restore the reins of power to the hands of the Lib. party. The change came at the g. e. 1896, Mr. L. having then been leader of the Opposition at Ottawa (a position which with its manifold responsibili- ties he had been loth to accept) for a period of 9 yrs. In this capacity he is acknowledged to have acquitted himself with rare tact and ability. "He had," says a well-known Can. writer, "great difficulties to sur- mount, acute differences to recon- cile, and he had, more especially, to meet and overcome the presumptions which would naturally bar the way to leadership and popularity in the case of a public man whose native tongue is French, but who aspires to rule a community predominantly English, in blood and speech. All this Mr. L. has done successfully ; the influ- ence he had with his immediate po- litical associates has been increased by his enlarged acquaintance and prestige among the 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 public utterances have been supplemented by cordial personal in- tercourse with the people in the vari- ous Provinces. His presence and manner are agreeable, and they are combined with great firmness of will and quickness of decision. The ag- gressiveness, persistence and sturdy independence which marked his course during the recent campaign (1896) showed the sterner elements of character which some of his op- ponents declared to be lacking in him. As «. party leader and tacti- cian, his political supporters admit that he has yet to make his first mistake. Many thought that his political career was ruined when the Bishops of Quebec issued their man- date enjoining the Roman Catholics of that Province to vote against him on account of his position on the Man. School question. Because he favoured the conciliation instead of the coercion of that Province, he was denounced as a traitor to his race, and an enemy of the Ch. ; but he remained firm, and the over- whelming majority of his own people declared their faith in him and their resentment of the atti- tude of the Bishops. Through his manliness and courage a new and inspiring chapter in the history of French-Can. has been written. " Mr. L. was sworn into office as Presdt. of the Privy Council, July 9, 1896, and on the 13th of the same month had completed his task, the other mems. of his Admn. being sworn in on that day. In fulfilment of his promise, while in Opposition, he at once gave his attention to the Man. Sch. question, and he was one of a Comte. of Council apptd. in the autumn to conductnegotiations with several delegates from the Man. Govt. , who were sent to Ottawa to determine on a basis of settlement. The report of the delegates with the subsequent action taken thereon by the Provl. Govt, and Legislature are matters of history. The question seems now to have been finally re- moved from the domain of Can. poli- tics. Mr. L. met Parlt. in Aug., and after obtaining from it the neces- sary supplies for the fiscal year, brought the session to a close. On meeting Parlt. again, Mch. 25, 1897, 568 LAURIER. he submitted a new fiscal policy for the Dom., the most prominent feature in which was that accord- ing preferential trade arrangements with Gt. Brit. The new tariff met with little opposition from Parlt. , and was enthusiastically received by the people at large. In the month of June, Mr. L. left for Eng. , on the invitation of H. M.'s Govt., to take part with other of H. M.'s subjects in the celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. He was accorded a reception in the Mother Country almost regal in its character, was sworn of the Privy Council, was apptd. a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, and was received in audience by the Sovereign. The Universities of Ox- ford and Cambridge conferred hon. degrees upon him, and the Cobden Club admitted him to hon. member- ship and awarded him its gold medal, "in recognition of his excep- tional and distinguished services to the cause of internl. and free ex- change. " Proceeding to France, he visited Presdt. Faure at Havre, and was apptd. by HE., a Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour. Later, he was received at the Vatican by His Holiness the Pope. As an orator Sir W. Laurier took a first place everywhere, the London Daily Mail comparing him with some of the foremost Brit, statesmen, and ex- pressing a wish that it were possible to place him side by side with them in the Imp. Parlt. In his first speech, on landing in Eng., Sir W. predict- ed that the time was approaching "when Can. pride and aspiration would develop a claim to demand as a, right, their share in that broader citizenship which embraces the whole Empire, and whose legislative centre is the Palace of Westminster. " While in Eng., Sir W. succeeded in hav- ing the commercial treaties between Brit, and Germany and Belgium de- nounced, with a view to freeing Can. from the restraint placed upon her by these treaties, which prevented her from granting to Gt. Brit, any trade favours denied to the treaty powers ; and for this new departure in Imp. policy, with ' ' the marvellous goal to which it leads," the London Times said, " Laurier's name must live in the annals of the Brit. Em- pire." On their return to Can. in Sept., Sir W. and Lady L. were ac- corded public receptions in Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, which excelled in enthusiasm and splen- dour any demonstrations previously given in Can. After his return he re- ceived from Toronto Univ. , and from Queen's Univ., Kingston, the hon. degree of LL. D. He was also elected an hon. life mem. of the National Lib. Club, London, Eng. While in Opposition, Mr. L. was engaged for some yrs. in writing a, history of Can., from the Union of 1841, but this has not yet been published. A collection of his principal speeches appeared under the editorship of Ulric Barthe, 1890. (See also the Arena, Apl., 1897, for a character sketch of Sir W., written by J. W. Russell.) In his younger days he served in the volunteers, being ensign in the Arthabaskaville Infy. Co., 1869-78. He is a mem. of the R. C. Ch., and m. May 13, 1868, Miss Zoe Lafontaine, of Mont- real.

Accompanying his parents to Can., 1836, he lived until manhood at Gait, Ont., and was ed. there. In 1851 he established himself in Chatham, Ont., as a watchmaker, but subsequently moved to Owen Sound. From an early age he had a great fascination for guns and shooting. About 1860, he became the principal of an establishment at Milwaukee, Wis., for the manufac- ture and sale of guns, rifles, and other weapons. This was the commence- ment 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 first magazine rifle was taken up by the Remingtons, at Illion, N.Y., Mr. L. superintending the produc- tion. It attracted much attention, and sales were made to Roumania and some other minor States. Con- stantly changing and improving it, he finally got it before a U. S. Army Comte., of whom Genl., afterwards Presdt., Garfield was one. They tested the weapon in every way, re- ported favourably, and one western regt. was equipped ' with it. But nothing further came of it, the in- ventor always contending that all he wanted was money enough to push it through. Still continuing his im- provements, Mr. L. allied himself with Col. Metf ord, an Eng. offr. , and a few yrs. ago, an Army Comn. in Eng., in search of a magazine rifle for the Imp. forces, selected it as the best from among a large number of other weapons submitted for their inspection. " The Lee-Metford" is now the recognized weapon of the Brit, army, and has already proven in different parts of the world the rapidity with which it can be fired, and its deadliness even at long dis- tances. It has also been adopted by the Govts, of China, Spain, Den- mark and Mexico. Of late yrs. Mr. L.'s home has been at Hartford, Conn. , but he naturally has been and is a great roamer about the world.

E. theGov.- Genl. of Can., in Council, presented him with a copy of the bronze medal •struck in commemoration of the Confederation of the Provinces, 1 867, in acknowledgment of his ' ' impor- tant services in the cause of litera- ture and science. " H is Grace is de- scribed by a well-known authority as "an Ang. churchman whose lib- eral views have done much towards making the Ch. of England in east- ern Ont. united and peaceful. He is a man of wide and profound learn- ing, and it is doubtful if there is liv- ing an abler defender of the religious system against agnosticism than he. When the Archbp. first arrived in this country there was only 1 dio- cese in U. C. Now there are 5. At the commencement of his episcopate there were only 44 clergy in the diocese, but the number has since increased to 135, whilst 55 mission, clergy are now pursuing their la- bours."

His address em- bodied the principles of responsible govt. , viz. : entire reform in the char- acter of the legislation, and the protection of the rights of the op- eratives engaged in the great in- dustry of the country, 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. By his earnest and determined exertions, the agita- tion became general throughout the colony for the establishment of a new system similar to that in successful operation in the neighbouring col- onies, so that the govt, might 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 parliamentary re- presentatives. The ground of bat- tle was extended to London, and Mr. L. was apptd. to head several depu- tations to the Imp. authorities in the conflict. He succeeded in en- listing in his cause some of the most influential col. reformers in the Imp. Parlt. , including Joseph Hume, John Bright and John Arthur Roe- buck, by whose assistance his efforts were ultimately crowned with suc- cess in 1854. Owing, however, to the opposition of the Gov. , he was obliged to return to London and obtain that official's recall, and, in 1855, Gov. Darling was apptd. to introduce the new system of govt. As the result of the g. e. 1855, the Gov. entrusted to Mr. L., as leader of the Lib. 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 religious denominations ; and his policy as Premier of the colony partook of the same character dur- ing his Admn. 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 instrumental, as a del. to the Home Govt., in obtaining the subsidy for the establishment of direct steam communication between Gt. Brit, and the colony. Upon the project of the Atlantic cable, when the ne- gotiations had nearly failed, he was called upon to intervene, and suc- ceeded in effecting an arrangement for the granting of the charter to the Atlantic Telegraph Co. By in- cessant application and over- work Mr. L.'s health, not very robust at any time, became affected, and, in 1858, he accepted the Senior Judge- ship of the Supreme Ct. A mem. of the R. C. Ch., he m. in 1864, Miss Holdright, the dau. of a Dublin merchant, and has been blessed with a large family. In 1867 he retired to Irel. to manage his property. Some yrs. ago he took a quiet but effective part in the Irish National cause, and we have been informed that he was offered the leadership of that movement, but declined it, as well as several offers of a seat in the Imp.

As V.-G. of the Diocese of Montreal, to which office he was called, Aug., 1880, he dis- played such marked executive abil- ity, that his elevation to the Epis- copate became only a question of time. On the erection of the new Vicariate- Apostolic of Pontiac, July 11, 1882, he was nominated thereto by the Holy See, and was conse- crated in Montreal, Sept. 21, the same year. Since his Lordship's appt. he has paid off the debt on his oath., built an episcopal residence, and secured many advantages and benefits for his people which other- wise they would not have been able to procure. His energy of character received fresh illustration in 1884 and in 1887, in which- years he tra- versed many thousands of miles, in a birch canoe, to visit the mission stations in the Abbitibi, Albany, St. Maurice and Rupert's dists. of his diocese.

He re- ceived his early education in the public schs., at the Toronto Gram- mar Sch. (which was the predecessor of the Jarvis St. Coll. Inst.), and at U. C. Coll., and so apt a pupil was he that at the early age of 16 he was matriculated. He graduated from Toronto Univ. , 1862, with the degree of B.A. and the gold medal in Math. Two yrs. later he took his degree of M.A. Almost im- mediately after his graduation he was apptd. one of the teachers in Univ. Coll. For a time he devoted his attention to Classics, but his chief work was the teaching of Math. Prof. Cherriman was then at the head of the dept. of Math, in the Univ. , and for some yrs. Mr. L. occupied the position of asst. to him. When the former retired, 1875, Mr. L. became Prof, of Math, in his stead. From the very first he showed a disposition to run into Applied Math, in preference to Pure Math., and when, in 1887, the sub- ject of his chair, which was then known as the chair of Math, and Physics, was divided, he took the physical work, while Prof. Baker became Prof, of Math. In 1865, while he was tutor, Prof. L. became Dean of Residence, a position which he retained for 10 yrs., or until he became a prof., and during that time he displayed those administra- tive qualities which formed such an essential qualification for the presidency of the Univ. to which he was apptd., 1892, on the death of Sir D. Wilson. As an authority upon and teacher of Physics, includ- ing Heat, Light and Electricity, Prof. L. stands very high amongst the scientific men of Am. , and the fact that he has made several important discoveries in geometrical optics has assisted in placing him in that posi- tion of eminence in the scientific world which he occupies. After he graduated he was for 3 yrs. in suc- cession Presdt. of the Lit. and Scien. Soc. ; later, he was elected Presdt. of the Alumni Assn., and, in 1873, he was elected a Senator of the Univ.

Mr. M. cultivated the muses from an early age, and in his maturer yrs. has given to the public many pieces of a superior order of merit. In 1887 he published a vol- ume, " Marguerite ; or, the Isle of Demons, and other Poems," which met with a most favourable recep- tion on both sides of the Atlantic. The principal poem is founded on the quaint old legend that Roberval, one of the earliest colonizers of New Prance, left upon " The Isle of Demons," a rugged rock, haunted with supernatural terrors, his niece, the fair Marguerite, her lover, and her old Norman nurse. Thirty mths. later, Marguerite, the sole survivor of the assaults of the foul fiends, was rescued. She tells the story of her trials and sufferings as a nun to a group of nuns in a convent in France, in the yr. 1545. "It is a touching story," says one of the critics, ' ' and is told with rare skill and pathos. " Since the appearance of this work, Mr. M. has written some pieces of even more merit than any of the minor poems given therein, and these he purposes publishing in another volume at an early day.

Council of his native province. He declined a seat in the Macdonald Cabinet, 1873, but in Oct., 1878, joined Sir John's "N. P." Admn. as Mr. of Militia, becoming later, Presdt. of the Council. Unfortunately troubled with delicate health, after 2 yrs. he retired from office. During his stay at the mil. bureau he introduced cadet cos. into the univs., high schs. and colleges of the Dom. , by which means the youth of the country re- ceived valuable training preparatory to their future assumption of active service in the mil. of the country. Shortly after his appt. to the Senate, political affairs in Quebec reached a critical stage. The split in the Con. ranks became most marked, and the disaffected Ministerialists of the Province bandedthemselves together as "Castors," and openly opposed the Mousseau ministry with even greater vehemence than did the Libs. In the hope of healing the breach, Mr. M. was called upon to accept the leadership of the local Con. party and form a united minis- try ; but continued ill-health stood in the way, and in the following yr. all idea of such a means of fusion was brought to an end by his ac- ceptance of the Lt. -Governorship of the Province— a position which he held until Oct. 28, 1887, when he resigned, again owing to ill-health. He was summoned to the Senate for the second time, Feb. 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 his ch. As Lt.-Gov. he refused to take the oath to which all previous occupants of the office were com- pelled to subscribe, on the ground that he could not conscientiously, as a R. C, deny the Pope's ecclesiasti- cal authority as declared therein. The question was raised in the 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 should be mentioned that as a private mem. Mr. M. took strong ground in favour of the granting of an amnesty for political offences committed in Man. during the first Riel rebellion, and he was a mem. of the Select Comte. of the Ho. of Commons apptd. to enquire into the causes of the insurrection. In Dec, 1888, he was apptd. to the Council of Public Instruction, Que- bec, and has taken a prominent part in its deliberations and work. He has published : " Les Bourgeois de la Compagnie du Nord-Ouest" (1889), a valuable work containing many hitherto unpublished documents, letters and journals relating to the early history of the N. W. T. He is a life gov. of Notre Dame Hos- pital, Montreal, and a mem. of the Council of the Numis. and Antiq. "Soc. of Can. He received the hon. degree of LL.

Later, he received the hon. degree of M.A. from Bishop's Coll., Lennoxville, and of LL.D. from McGill Univ. After having studied law for about 3 yrs., Mr. M. came to Can., Nov., 1 842, and resumed the study of law in the office of his bro. , the late Sir Wm. Meredith, afterwards Chief-Justice at Quebec. In 1844 he returned to Irel. , for the purpose of being called to the bar, and not long afterwards was called to the local bar in both Upper and Lower Can. Apptd. Principal of, and Lecturer in, Math. , in McGill Coll., Montreal, 1846, he devoted himself principally to the task of procuring a new charter for the Univ., an object which was finally attained, 1852. In 1847 he was offered and accepted the office of Asst. Provl. Secy., U.C., resigning the office of Principal of McGill. As the seat of govt, was then at Mont- real, Mr. M.'s connection with Mc- Gill Coll. , as a gov. , was continued for some yrs. , until Montreal ceased to be the seat of govt. When the Confederation of the Provinces was accomplished, 1867, he became Under-Secy. of State for the Pro- vinces, and on the establishment of the Dept. of the Interior, 1873, he was apptd. its first Depty. Mr. He retired from the public service, Sept., 1878, and has since then re- sided in Toronto. As an official, he was held in high esteem by succes- sive governors and administrators. His most important work was achieved during the 10 yrs. in which he was connected with the Can. Prison Bd. , first as an Inspr. and afterwards as Chairman thtre- MEREDITH. 623 of. He persistently advocated the absolute separation of prisoners in our common gaols, and denounced as cruel and unwise the practice of sending boys and girls under 14 yrs. of age to the ordinary co. prison. Under his direction many important reforms were effected in the prisons, penitentiaries and asylums of the Bom. , not the least momentous being the adoption, in regard to peniten- tiaries, of the principle of what is known among prison reformers as "The Crofter System. " The labours of the Prison Bd., under the chair- manship of Dr. M., were highly eulogized by leading Am. and Brit, authorities. He is the author of several pamphlets and papers on social, literary and other subjects, published either separately, or in the Am. and Can. reviews and mags. Among these are : " An Essay on the Oregon Question," "Influence of Recent Gold Discoveries on Prices," " Talfourd's Tragedy of Ion," " Essay on Friendless and Neglected Children," "Compulsory Education in Crime," "Emenda- tions in Shakespeare," " Half -Time and Mil. Drill in Schs. ," " National Language and National Manners," ' ' Work of Recent Prison Con- gresses," "Miss Dix: Philanthro- pist and Asylum Reformer." He still continues to take a warm interest in Prison Reform, and espe- cially in everything connected with the treatment of children. He read a paper before the Internl. Prison Congress, 1887, on the common gaols of Ont., and took part in the pro- ceedings of the Annual Prison Conf. since held in Toronto. He has been for many yrs. a V. - P. of the Indus- trial Sch.

B. in the Tp. of West- minster, Middlesex, Ont., Moh. 31, 1840, he was ed. there and at the London Dist. Grammar Seh. , and graduated LL.B. at Toronto Univ., 1872. He studied for his profession under the late Thos. Scatcherd, Q.C., M. P.; was called to the bar, 1861 ; and practised for some 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 language, soon made him widely known among the mems. of the Ont. bar. He became city solicitor, and a Bencher of the Law Soc. ; was made a Q. C. by the Out. Govt., 1875, and had the same honour conferred upon him by the Marquis of Lome, 1880. In 1888 he was apptd. an hon. mem. of the Law Faculty of Toronto Univ. In the same year he moved to Toronto, and was subsequently apptd. Corpora- tion Counsel there, and head of the city's legal dept. In 1889 he re- ceived from his Alma Mater the hon. degree of LL.t). 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 distinguished himself. Mr. M. was first elected to the Legislature, 1872, succeeding Mr. (now Sir) John Carling, who withdrew from Provl. politics, in the representation of London. He is said to have immediately become a power in the House. He took a firm stand on the side of the working- men, and was one of the first advo- cates of manhood suffrage, which he took up in 1875. His name was also identified with the legislation by which wages to the amount of $25 were exempted from seizure, with the Mechanics' Lien Act, with the Workingmen's Compensation for Injuries Act, with the question of Biennial Parlts. , and 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- nized his great strength in the country, and his accurate knowledge of political affairs. Not long after this event the boundary award was made, and the agitation which im- mediately arose rendered his task a difficult one. The discussion between the parties was a heated one, and it was endeavoured to east upon Mr. M. the onus of having supported the claims of the Dom. as against those of the Province. He insisted, after the rejection of the award by the Dom. Parlt. , that the question be submitted to the Privy Council, and the event ultimately proved his contention to have been correct, and the course he had pro- posed the only safe one that could have been taken. In the disallow- ance agitation of 1882, he again appeared to be on the unpopular side. He, however, did not hesitat e 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. Govts, to weaken it for selfish ends. Throughout the reverses he met with at the polls, he never abandoned this principle. He also took strong ground on the question of education. He enun- ciated the principle that to place a political head over the Education Dept. is to make it «. political ma- chine, and so greatly lessen its in- fluence for .good. During his last campaign he, on many occasions, expressed his views on this matter. He fought for a ballot in the Sep- arate schs., and against the exer- cising of undue clerical influence in educational matters. His newspaper discussion with Archbp. Cleary at- tracted wide attention, and to a great extent defined the line of cleavage between the parties. His opinions in this connection are too MERRICK — MERRILL. 625 well known to need repetition here. The last session he passed in the Legislature was marked by a num- ber of stirring debates, during which Mr. M. often displayed an inti- macy with the smallest details of departmental expenditure, and at the same time a comprehensive grasp of the legislation before the Ho. , which astonished even his in- timate friends. In 1883 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 Govt, itself in making provision for a salary of $2000 a year to him as leader of the Opposition. This, however, he 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 first cases tried by him was that of Hender- shott and Welter for murder, both of whom were convicted and after- wards executed. In 1895 he was elected to the" Senate of the Univ. of Toronto, the vote polled making him the senior among the elective mems. of the Bd. In 1896 he was apptd. a mem. of the comn. for the revision of the I'rovl. Statutes. He is also V.-P. of the National Sani- tarium Assn. As a young man he served for some yrs. as an offr. in the London Light Infy. He re- ceived the honour of knighthood, 1896. Sir William belongs to the Ang. oommunion. He m.

S. To this action of Senator M. was really due the acceptance of the Union by the Legislature of N. S. , at a time when the project appeared about to end in inevitable failure.

George Macbeth, (Presb.), is thes. of Wm. Milligan, by his wife, Catharine Macbeth, and was b. at Wick, Caithness-shire, Scot., Aug. 11, 1840. Ed. at Pultenay Acad., in his native place, and at Queen's Univ., Kingston (B.A., with honours, 1862), he pur- sued his theol. studies at Princeton, N.J., and was ordained to the min- istry, 1868. After serving at Eng. Settlement, near London, Ont., he was called to the pastorate of the Scotch Ch., Detroit, 1869, and, in 1876, to that of Old St. Andrew's Ch., Toronto, then left vacant by the late Rev. D. J. Macdonnell, who had gone to New St. Andrew's Ch. , taking the majority of the cong. with him. Since then, mainly through Mr. M.'s exertions, anew ch. — one of the finest and best equipped in the city — has been erected to take the place of the old MILLIGAN — MILLS. 633 one, and the cong. from 48 has be- come over 600. "Mr. M.," says the Can. Presbyterian, "is not only an eloquent and earnest preacher and a faithful pastor, but he has, outside his own cong., ever been ready with tongue and pen to cham- pion every good cause and to combat every bad one, from Jesuit aggres- sion to Sabbath desecration." He was for some time Presdt. of the Toronto Minist. Assn., was repeat- edly invited to lecture on Ch. History in Queen's Univ., and is on the Bd. of Trustees of that in- stitution, a Senator of Knox Coll., Toronto, and Presdt. of St. Mar- garet's Coll., same city. He is also Presdt. of Queen's Theol. Alumni Assn. He received the hon. degree of D.D., from Knox Coll., 1894. He has travelled extensively both in Am. and Europe, and some yrs. ago delivered a series of public lec- tures descriptive of his impressions abroad. He was a del. to the Pan- Presb. Conf., at Glasgow, and to the Evangel. Conf. of Christians at London, 1896. He m. Nov., 1S67, Miss Harriet Eunice Rowse, Bath, Ont. (shed. July, 1891).— The Manse, Old St. Andrew's, Toronto.

S., 1817), Mch. 18, 1831. Ed. at the local schs. and at the Univ. of Michigan (LL.B., 1855), he began life as a sch. teacher. Subsequently, he was apptd. Supdt. of Schs. for the Co. Kent, an office he continued to fill up to 1865. Two yrs. afterwards he was returned for Bothwell to the Ho. of Commons, and held a ssat in that body from the com- mencement of the 1st Parlt., 1867, to the g. e. 1882, when he was im- properly deprived of his seat (vide judgment of the Supreme Ct. of Can.) for a session, but was seated by the Ct. , and continued to repre- sent the constituency up to the g. e. 1896, when he was defeated by the Con. candidate, Jas. Clancy ( Vote : Clancy, 2587 ; Mills, 2528). Mr. M. was called to the bar, 1883, and follows the practice of his profes- sion in London. He was for some time a mem. of the firm of Parke & Purdom, but more recently has prac- tised in partnership with his son. He was created a Q. C. by the Ont 634 MILLS. Govt., 1890, and was recommended to the Earl of Aberdeen for a similar distinction by the Tupper Admn., 1896. He was employed by the Ont. Govt, to define the N.-W. boundary of the Province, 1872, and his professional services were retained in conducting the argument on this subject before the Imp. Privy Council, 1884. He was also retained by the Ont. Govt, in the Ct. of Appeal and in the Su- preme Ct. in the question of the Indian Titles, and also in the case as to the appt. of Queen's Counsel. The author of several brochures on political subjects, Mr. M. has like- wise written extensively on public questions for the mags, and news- papers, and he was for 5 yrs. sub- sequent to 1882, ed.-in-chief of the London A dvertiser. Many beautiful poetical pieces have also emanated from his pen. He was elected a mem. of the Council of Public Inst, of Ont. (representing the Sch. Insprs. in that body), 1875, and on a new faculty of law being estab- lished in the Univ. of Toronto, 1S8S, was chosen to fill the chair of Con- stitutional and Internl. Law therein, a position he still retains. In 1897 he was also chosen an Examr. in Con- stitutional Law in the same Univ. He was elected Presdt. of the Star Loan Co., 1890, and Presdt. of the Northern Life Assur. Co., 1896. During the existence of the Mac- kenzie Govt. , he held the office of Mr. of the Interior in it, from Oct., 1876 till the resignation of the Cabinet, Oct., 1878. He was called to the Senate, by Lord Aberdeen, Nov., 1896, and, on Nov. 12, 1897, entered the Laurier Cabinet as Mr. of Jus- tice, succeeding Sir 0. Mowat in that office. Politically, he is an advanced Lib. As a private mem. he moved, in Mch., 1895, for the reconstruc- tion of the Senate. His political views were summed up in a review of his career, which appeared in the Toronto Globe, 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 second Chamber man, and wants to mend rather than end our Upper House. Holding the high political ideals which he does, and believing that the worst crime against the commonwealth is a wrong against the ind. of the elec- torate, it need scarcely be said that the partizan redistribution of con- stituencies and the partizan pre- paration of voters' lists find in him one of their most powerful denouncers. In economic questions he is an uncompromising oppo- nent of the protective system. He believes Can. ought to make her own commercial treaties, and a few months ago the breadth of his mind on the Imp. relationship was shown in a magazine article, in which he argued that, while the Motherland gives the protection of her navy to the commerce of tho colonies in the seas of the world, it is conducive neither to their self-respect or self- reliance that they should make no substantial return for that sewice, but that they should, on the con- trary, seek to shut Brit, trade out of their markets. He is opposed to handing over the work of legislation to the Ministry, as is now so largely done at Ottawa. Some of his most valuable contributions to our politi- 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 diseases in the body politic. His study of the foundation principles of representative govt, pointed out to him yrs. ago the effect, now ap- parent, upon the whole community of Parlt. abdicating 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 inculcate 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 the actions of its Executive. To sum up his politics, they are, that care and MILLS. 635 economy in the expenditure of pub- lic money, and a desire to do what is honest and fair on the part of re- presentatives ; habits of self-reliance and ind. among the people, and a sense of justice stronger than party allegiance, are of immeasurably greater consequence in promoting the honour and prosperity of Can. than political nostrums which pro- pose to increase wealth by imposing taxation, to invite immigration by an enormous public debt, and to de- velop the country by reckless ex- penditure whose only purpose is to corrupt constituencies." In religious faith, Mr. M. is a Meth. He m. Dec, 1860, Miss M. J. Brown.— Ottawa; Palmyra; London, Out. " A thoughtful, safe man." — Mail.

" No son of Canada has served his coun- try with more singleness of purpose, with broader patriotism or higher ideals. No one has realized more deeply the responsi- bilities of citizenship, and has lived more nearly up to them. Political life has never been with him a chess-board, where knights and pawns were moved to suit the exigen- cies of party, but a never-wearying search for truth, an unending conflict between jus- tice and wrong. — Olobe. MI1IS, James, educationist, is the s. of John Mills, by his wife, Ann Stin- son, both natives of the north of Irel. B. in West Gwillimbury, Simcoe, Ont., Nov. 24, 1840, he was brought i\p on his father's farm. A serious ac- cident formed the turning-point in his career. At 21 he lost his right arm in a threshing machine, and thus handicapped, he stood upon the threshold of his life-work with re- sponsibility, and, what some would call disaster, staring him in the face. Entering the public sch. he began his education at the time when the majority of young men have already finished. Hitherto his training had been entirely manual or physical ; now he began to develop the mental side of his nature. From the public sch. he proceeded to the Bradford Grammar Sch., and thence to Vic- toria Univ., Cobourg (B.A., and Prince of Wales gold medal for highest rank in genl. proficiency, 18U8; M.A., 1871; LL.D., 1892). After graduation he taught in the Cobourg Coll. Inst., from which posi- tion he was promoted to the head- mastership of the Brantford High Sch. This institution was then in rank a third or fourth rate sch. ; under Mr. M. it soon became a Coll. Inst., and began to attract atten- tion as one of the most successful for training young men and women for general work and for teachers' and univ. exams. The growth of this sch. and its reputation for thorough- ness and good discipline, suggested a man for the Provl. Agricultural Coll., at Guelph, when the presi- dency became vacant. The offer came to Mr. M. from the Govt, en- tirely unsolicited, and was accepted in the summer of 1879. The institu- tion had been established in 1874, and for some time had many and great difficulties to contend with. Under Mr. M. most of these obstacles have been overcome, and the Coll. has been established on a firm foun- dation. The work of the Coll. has likewise been enlarged and system- atized. Particular attention has been called to the addition of a third year's Course and affiliation with To- ronto Univ. whereby the degree of Bach, of Science in Agricul. is con- ferred upon students. The Province is also indebted to the Principal for organizing the Farmers' Insts., and for instituting Travelling Dairies. To him likewise was entrusted the preparation of a text-book on agri- cul. for public schs., called "First Principles of Agricul." Recently he has contributed some able papers to Farming, and he wrote the paper on "Agricul. Education" which ap- peared in the hand-book issued to mems. of the Brit. Assn., 1897. Presdt. M. is a dir. of various local socs. and institutions, and waselected a Fellow of the Am. Assn. for the Advance, of Science, 1895. He is a mem. of the Meth. Ch. , and m.

Called to the bar, 1875, he has practised thoughout at Annapolis Royal, and was created a Q. C, by the Earl of Derby, 1890. He was for some yrs. a municipal councillor, and has sat in the Ho. of Commons, for Annapolis, in the Con. interest, since the g. e. 1887. At the g. e. 1896, he defeated the Hon. J. W.

(M.D., 1878 ; and D.V.S., 1890). Afterwards con- tinuing his studies in Eng. and Germany, under distinguished pro- fessors, he was apptd. demonstrator of Physiol., McGill Univ., 1882, lecturer on Physiol., 1884, and a prof, of that branch, 1886. In 1883 he published the results of original investigation on the Physiol, of the Voice, in which he maintained views in opposition to generally received opinion (Journ. of Physiol., Gam., Eng.). This paper was quoted by the foremost laryngologists of the day as authoritative, among others by the late Sir Morell Mac- kenzie and Dr. Lennox Browne. He has published also " Outlines of Lectures on Physiol." (1886) ; "A Text-book of Animal Physiol." (1889); "A Text-book of Compara- tive Physiol." (1890); "How to keep a Dog in the City" (1891) ; and ' ' The Dog in Health and Disease " (1892). He contributed articles on Digestion, the digestive secretions, etc., to "Buck's Hand-book of the Med. Sciences," and has written many articles to scientific and med. journals, a full list of which will be found in the "Bib. of the Royal Soc. of Can." Of these a series of papers on the "Physiol, of the Heart," has attracted special atten- tion, as has also a paper on "Ani- mal Electricity," in "The Internl. System of Therapeutics." He is a representative Fellow in med. of McGill Univ., a Fellow of the Royal Soc. of Can. , and was elected Presdt. of the Nat. Hist. Soc. of Montreal, 1894. He founded in 1885 the Soc. for the study of Comparative Physiol, in connection with the Vet. Coll. (now the Faculty of Comp. Med. and Vet. Science of McGill Univ.), and has been Presdt. of the Soc. from the first.

Since then he has not sat in Parit. He was a candi- date for his old constituency at the g. e. 1896, but was defeated by a majority of 507. Mr. M. en- tered the Govt, of N. B., 1858, _ and was a colleague of Messrs. Tilley, Ritchie, Johnson, Fisher, and other Fathers of Responsible Govt, in that Province. He and his friends also took the lead in securing the con- struction of Provl. rys. , and in effecting other beneficial legislation. When the time arrived for discuss- ing the union of the Maritime Pro- vinces, 1864, he was selected to serve as a del. to the Charlottetown Conf . , where Messrs. John A. Mac- donald, Cartier, Brown, and others appeared to urge the larger union of G. N. A. In the same year he attended the Quebec Conf., which drafted the terms of union ; and, later, 1866, he was sent to Eng. to serve as a mem. of the London Conf. on the same subject. In London he stood by Sir Geo. Cartier as against Sir John Macdonald on the question of a Provl. union instead of a Leg. union. "In all these confs. and consultations," says the Montreal Star, " Mr. M. took an active part, his practical, well-balanced mind being fertile in suggestion, and of great service in the very important negotiations with which the dele- gates were charged by their re- spective Govts. In the g. e. in N. B., which followed the passing of this Act, Mr. M. took an active part ; and although the anti-Con- federates won the day, Mr. M. per- sisted, during the darkest hours, in urging the Legislature and the people to accept the Union. His speeches during the interval be- tween the first and second confedera- tion elections were masterpieces of political oratory, and with the in- fluence which his abilities enabled him to exercise over the Lt.-Gov. of the day, and over an anti-Union Legislature and the more moderate mems. of the anti-Union party, they were beyond all question the most important factors in securing the success of Confederation at the polls in the second great campaign, and thus by bringing N. B. into line with the other provinces of the mainland, made the Confeder-ation an accomplished fact. When the first Govt, of Can. was formed, Mr. M. with Mr. Tilley, was summoned to Ottawa to take his place in the first Dom. Cabinet, being assigned the portfolio of Marine and Fish- eries, a dept. which he personally organized for the first time and administered with the greatest ability and success, as all who are interested in shipping, lighthouses, and lake and coast navigation will cheerfully testify. Under his direc- tion the first fleet of cruisers for the protection of our Atlantic fisheries was organized, and rendered great service in its special line of duty ; and as Mr. of Marine and Fish- eries he was equally successful in defending the policy of the Govt, regarding the fisheries against both the reflections of Presdt. Grant in 640 MOBERLY. hia message to Congress and the 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 bold and national attitude in dealing with the encroachments of the U. S. , which enabled more recent Can. Govts, to secure the influence and backing of the Imp. authorities in the Behring Sea dif- ficulty. Mr. M. was also largely instrumental in bringing about the Halifax Arbitration between Gt. Brit, and the U. S., at which for the first time in disputes with the U. S., Can. interests were repre- sented by Canadians, and which eventuated in an indemnity of S4,500,000 being paid to Can. by the U. S. for the use of the Can. fisheries by U. S. fishermen. Although Sir Albert 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 blocked out the plan of the Can. case, secured the necessary 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 Provinces 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 electors of Northum- berland, his native co., with a handsome testimonial in token of their appreciation of his public ser- vices. In Feb., 1894, the Toronto News published some of his political reminiscences. Mr. M. is author of " A Review of Presdt. Grant's re- cent Message to the U. S. Congress relative to the Can. Fisheries, and the Navigation of the St. Lawrence River" (1870), and of "Notes of a Holiday Trip " (1880). He m. 1853, Mrs. Gough, a widow lady, St. John, N.B.

ADVERTISEMENTS SASKATCHEWAN BUFFALO ROBES RECEIVED THE HIGHEST PRIZE AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. Experience Proves them Without a Rival THESE Robes are in general use by Liverymen, Farmers, Physici- ans, Travelling Agents and thousands of others, from one end of the Dominion to the other, and one and all say they are the Robs for our Canadian Winters, now that the Buffalo has gone never to return. Experience has proven that rough general usage does not injure them any more than it did the old Buffalo Robe. We guarantee every Robe to be wind, water and moth proof, and will not wear bare in sp*ots like a skin robe. They will dry quicker, never get hard, are as strong as leather, and far warmer and more durable than any cheap fur robe. These robes are made in three parts — the Fur Cloth, the Astrachan Lining and Rubber Inter-lining, and all these parts are without seam. Besides these Saskatchewan Buffalo Robes, we manufacture Buffalo Fur Cloth Coats, Black Dog Skin Cloth Coats, Buffalo Fur Cloth Pea Jackets, Buffalo Fur Cloth Sleeping Bags. The immense and steadily increasing sale and demand for these goods is the best evidence of their worth and popularity. For sale in all cities, towns and villages in Canada.

W. Cumberland and W. G. Storm, Toronto. He was first em- ployed on the Ont., Simcoe and Huron Ry., and afterwards, 1855- 57, explored the country extending from Lake Simcoe to Lake Huron and north of lakes Huron and Su- perior. Proceeding to B. C, 1858, he was in the year following apptd. by Col. E. C. Moody, commdg. R. E., to the office of Supdt. of Public Works and deputed to found the capital of the colony — Queens- borough, now New Westminster. He subsequently left the service of the Imp. Govt., and in 1862-63 was engaged in the construction of the Yale-Cariboo waggon road. In 1864 he was elected to the Leg. Council for Cariboo West, and, in the follow- ing year, was apptd. Asst. Surveyor- Genl., and instructed to make ex- plorations in the south and south- east portions of the colony, during the progress of which he discovered the Eagle Pass in the Gold Range of mts., which discovery in after yrs. ensured the route for the great Can. highway. He resigned his appt., 1866, and during the 4 yrs. subsequently was busy with explor- ations and ry. work in the western States. The Dom. Govt, in 1871 having decided on the construction of a trans-continental ry., sent for Mr. M. as being best fitted to give information on that portion of the country stretching west from the Rocky Mts., and he wa3 apptd. engr. to take charge of the sur- veys from the west end of Eagle Pass, easterly through the Gold, Selkirk and Rocky ranges of mts., to a point in the neighbourhood of Mt. Murchison, at which work he was signally successful. After leav- ing the Can. Govt.'s service he went to Man., and was one of the pro- moters and afterwards Chief Engr. of the Manitoba South- Western Ry.

He is de- scended from an old French-Can. family of note— the 1st of their an- cestors who came to this country being Pierre Boucher, who was 1st Gov. of Three Rivers in 1622. The family name is Boucher de Monti- zambert — the Bouchers de Boucher- ville, de Niverville, de la Bruere and de la Brocherie being branches of the same family. On the maternal side, 2 of Col. M.'s grandmother's bro- thers were Eng. officers in the 7th Fusiliers. One of them was killed at the taking of Martinique. An uncle, Major Montizambert, of the 10th Foot, was killed while leading his men at the storming of Moul- tan, in India, so that the subject of our sketch descends from a family of soldiers. Col. M. was ed. at U. C. Coll. , Toronto. He early showed a decided taste for military pursuits, and entered with great zest into the volunteer movement in 1880, being subsequently apptd. Capt. and Adjt. of the Quebec Volunteer Gar. Arty., in which corps he served till 1871. When "A" and "B" Batteries Schs. of Gunnery were raised in that year he was transferred to the com- mand of " B " Batt. of Permanent Arty, at Quebec, which he raised under Maj.-Genl. Strange, R.A., Commandant of the Sch. of Arty. He attained the rank of major, 1872, and It. -col., 1877. In 1882 Col. M. was made Commandant of the Sch. of Arty., consisting of "B" Batt., then stationed at Kingston, Ont. He was second in command of the W imbledon team on one occa- sion, and was subsequently attached to the R. A. at Aldershot for the autumn manoeuvres and afterwards at Woolwich for instruction. He commanded under Col. Strange on several occasions during riots in Quebec in the seventies. In the N.-W. rebellion, 1885, he led the 1st corps that made the passage — the "A" and " B" Batteries, with their guns — through the ice and snow on the then unfinished portion of the C. P. Ry. around the north shore of Lake Superior, joining Genl. Sir F. Middleton's column on the trail north of Fort Qu'Appelle. He was in action at the battles of Fish Creek and Batoche (medal, mentioned in despatches and recommended for C. M. G. ). He is the author of a prize essay for the medal presented by the Dom. Arty. Assn. on the supply, care and repair of arty, material for Can. militia (1878). In 1897 he was transferred to Kingston as D. 0. C. Mil. Dists. 3 and 4, and Inspr. of Arty, for dists. 1, 2, 3 and 4.

MORGAN, Miss Mary, poet, 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 goods house of Henry Morgan & Co. Till her father's death, in 1893, her life was spent in Milton Cottage, on the banks of the St. Lawrence, a few miles below Montreal. Both the father and the dau. attracted a large circle of friends to this de- lightful home, which formed for many yrs. a favourite resort for people of literary tastes and sym- pathies. About 20 yrs. ago, Miss M. began to publish some of her literary work in Can. and Am. periodicals, generally under the pseudonym of " Gowan Lea." In 1887 she collected a number of her most appreciated productions in a dainty little volume, of which an Am. edition appeared very shortly afterwards, under the title of " Woodnotes in the Gloaming." "Her best work," says Prof. J. Clark Murray, "is in the lyrical vein ; and the moods of the soul, for which she seems to find expres- sion by preference in her lyrics, are not the more boisterous passions by which the human heart is most commonly stormed, but rather those delicate calm emotions that are naturally awakened by the rarer reflections of a cultured mind. " In 1896 Miss M. published "Sonnets from Switzerland." Some of her compositions have been reproduced in " America's Younger Poets," a 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- Gill 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- shire, Eng.

In 1890 he was chosen one of the 3 people's delegates who were sent to Eng. to present the views of the colony on the French Treaties question, and, in 1891, he was one of 5 delegates de- puted to represent the Legislature before the Imp.

Bp. of Quebec. B. at Cornwall, Ont., Oct. 2, 1824, he received his primary education at 43 Cornwall, under the late Rev. Dr. Urquhart, and at Brockville, under the late Rev. Dr. H.

MOUNT STEPHEN (Lord) The Eight Hon. Sir George Stephen, Bart., is the eld. s. of the late Wm. Stephen, a native of Glenrinnes, Mortloch, Scot., by his wife, Elspet Smith, and was b. at Dufftown, 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 glebe 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 Wm. 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 & Co. Later, on the death of Wm. Stephen, 1860, he purchased his interest in the business, and entering largely into the manufac- ture of woollen goods, met with ex- traordinary success. Elected a dir. of the Bank of Montreal, the largest financial institution in Can., he became V.-P. of the bank, 1873, and Presdt., 1876. Not long after- wards he joined a syndicate for the purchase of the interests of the Dutch holders of the bonds of the St. Paul and Pacific Ry., a road which, when finished, gave the syn- dicate control of the whole traffic of the Can. North-West. Extending their operations, the syndicate made St. Paul the final point of their system, which they named the St. Paul and Man. Ry. Mr. S. 's con- nection with this enterprise led to the formation of the co. composed mainly of the same parties, that in 1880 undertook the construction of the Can. Pac. Ry. The history of this gigantic work forms a portion of the history of Can. On this point it is recorded that when the original syndicate was organized and the terms agreed upon by the Govt., there were few indeed, even in Can., who held the faith that the compact would be literally fulfilled, and fewer still sanguine enough 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 the 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 task to have been simple, or dependent for its fulfil- ment merely upon financial credit, have only to consider the repeated failures of govts, to adequately grasp the undertaking, the wide- spread disbelief in the ability of the syndicate to carry out its obligation, the party hostility encountered, and MOWAT. 659 the engineering difficulties to be overcome. None of these obstacles, and they were all formidable, daunt- ed Mr. S. He had the courage of conviction in the practicability of the enterprise, an ardent patriotism hi the work, and the personal pluck, intrepidity and magnetism which inspires confidence in others, needed to direct the project to a successful issue. When the prospects of the co. seemed dark and gloomy, when its credit was at a low ebb and fail- ure appeared to be impending, Mr. S. never faltered. His energy, pluck and work aided perhaps more than any other single factor in tid- ing the difficulties of the co. , and the rewards which afterwards came to him in honour, as in emolument, were as richly deserved as any ever bestowed or reaped. In addition thereto, it may be stated that it was Mr. S. who also lifted the Credit Valley Ry. out of its difficulties, and who, with 4 or 5 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 1886, to create him a Baronet of the United Kingdom, and, in 1891, 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. Pacific Ry. , which peak was called after him as Presdt. of that Co. His Lordship retired from the presidency of the ry. in 18S8, since when he has lived in Eng. In that 3 r ear Lord Salis- bury offered him a position on the comn. of investigation into the con- dition of the army and navy, which, however, he was unable to accept. Since then his name has been men- tioned in connection with the Gov- ernor-Generalship of Can., a sug- gestion to that effect having been made through the press. His por- trait, painted by Frank Holl, R.A., was exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery, 1888. Politically, he is a Con.; in religious faith, a Presb. His Lordship has contributed largely to meritorious purposes. In 1883 he donated $50,000 to the Montreal Genl. Hospital to build a pavilion in memory of the late Dr. G. W. Campbell. In 1885, along with his relative, Sir D. A. Smith (now Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal) he founded the Montreal scholarship in the Royal Coll. of Music. In 1886 he and Sir Donald gave each the princely sum of $500,000 (to which was afterwards added an amt. for maintenance), for the erection of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal ; and, in 1890, he contributed $25,000 for the erection and endowment of the Stephen Cottage Hospital at his birthplace, Dufftown.

Sir Oliver, statesman, who enjoys the distinction of having had the long- est continuous term of office, as Premier, ever accorded to any public man by the people of any province, colony or div. within the Brit. Em- pire, comes of good Scotch stock, being one of the Mowats of Bucholie, Caithness-shire, the restorers and owners of the ancient castle of the Vikings in Scot. He is the s. of the late John Mowat, formerly of Canis- bay, one of Wellington's veterans in the Peninsula, by his wife, MaryLe- Vack. The family settled in King- ston, Ont., 1816, and there the fu- ture minister was b. July 22, 1820. Ed. at private institutions in his native city, he, upon leaving sch., entered the office of Mr. (afterwards Sir) John A. Macdonald, with whom he remained as a law student for 660 MOWAT. 4 yrs. After completing his articles with Robt. E. Burns, Toronto, he was called to the bar, 1841. He 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- sequently 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- ship, 1848, the remaining partners continued the business. Subse- quently, Mr. M. had as partners, at different periods, the late John Ewart, the late John Helliwell, the late John Roaf, the late Wm. Davies, 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 the leader Of the Chancery bar. It is recorded that many of the cases argued by him are to-day liv- ing authorities on topics of equity jurisprudence. Created a Q. C. by Sir E. W. Head, 1855, he became, later, a Bencher 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 also, at a subsequent 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 ever 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 1864. In the Assembly he took part in all the principal dis- cussions and debates, and became one of the most effective speakers on the Reform side. Upon the fall of the Macdonald-Cartier Govt., 1858, he entered the new Cabinet formed by Messrs. Brown and Dorion, as Provl. Secy. In 1863 he entered the Sand- field Macdonald Govt, as Postmaster- Genl. , continuing as such until the defeat of the ministry in the early part of 1864. Later, in the same year, on the formation of the coali- tion govt, under 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 Barrister, " was grate- ful both to the public and to the bar. 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 technique, familiar with precedent, but withal master of his reason." He 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 his legislation was of a most useful and beneficial character. During his term of office he had fre- quent controversies with the Dom. Govt. , during Sir John Macdonald's time, notably on the boundary question, the appt. of Queen's Counsel, the Liquor License law and other cases, which were carried to MOWAT. 661 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 friends through- out the Province desiring to mark their appreciation of "the splendid story of his achievements," 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 honours more than contented me as far as honours were concerned, and I had the satisfaction of know- ing that my position afforded me the opportunity (of which I availed my- self to the best of my ability) of rendering some service to my native Province, in assisting to settle some important questions of great diffi- culty, and in devising and carry- ing out 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 be done. My position gave me the opportunity of rendering sub- stantial assistance towards placing on the statute book a vast body of useful legislation, and towards giv- ing to the Province 23 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 century, it adds greatly to my satisfaction 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 direction 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 Globe paid this well-written tribute to his eminent standing and services as a public man : "His great hold on Ont. lies in the belief that he is a safe 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 advanced thought of the day, but the course of legislation in this Province has shown with what shrewdness he ex- amines the popular 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 Ont. 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 scrupulous of his opponents prefer no charge against him that savours of corrup- tion or dishonesty. He has always surrounded himself with able and admirable colleagues, but his person- ality easily dominated the Cabinet, 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 carries with it no deroga- tion of respect or confidence. His opponents call him an opportunist. Whatever of opportunism he has is of the serious, earnest kind. It has been a disappointment at times to his opponents that his purity of motives and fulness of mind should not be allied to that kind of simplicity or fanaticism which would have de- livered him into their hands. It is one of the elements of his strength that he has not only moral and in- tellectual qualities which influence legislation in a sound direction and 662 MOWAT— MOWATT. administer public affairs clean- hand- edly, but also the political sagacity to avoid, as if by instinct, the traps which have been laid for him. He has the faculty of estimating pass- ing events, not from the point of view in which they commonly ap- pear to those who bear a part in them, but from the point of view in which after a lapse of yrs. they will appear to the philosophical historian — the faculty which is called fore- sight. To the weight which he will carry into the admn. of Dom. affairs by reason of his mental force and capacity will be united the influence which belongs to an experience longer and ampler than that of any other Canadian." In the Laurier Admn. (of which he was the doyen in point of age and length of service as a pub- lic man), he filled the office of Mr. of Justice, and while in the office furnished abundant evidence of his peculiar fitness for that post of duty. Soon after his appt. he was chosen one of the Oomte. of Council to whom was entrusted the conduct of negotiations with dels, from Man. for a basis of settlement of the sch. question. He was apptd. to his present office, Lt. -Gov. of the Prov- ince of Ont. , Nov. 1 8, 1 897. He was formerly Presdt. of the Can. Insti- tute, and has likewise filled the Presidency of the Evangel. Alliance of Ont. He is now a V.-P. of the U. C. Bible Soc. In 1897 he was elected hon. Presdt. of the Can. Bar Assn. , and was chosen Presdt. of the newly organized Imp. Life Assur. Co., the same year. He has written on the ' ' Evidences of Christianity," and on "Christianity and Some of its Fruits.'' He received the hon. degree of LL.D. from Queen's Univ, 1872, and from Toronto Univ., 1889. In 1887 he presided over the Quebec Inter- Provincial Conf., and, in 1893, over the Ottawa Reform Convention. In 1892, in recognition of his eminent public services, the Queen created him aKnight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George; and, in 1897, on the completion of the 60th yearof H. M.'s reign, he was promoted to be a Knight Grand Cross of the same order. While in Scot. , 1895, he was presented with the freedom of the royal burgh of Wick.

From 1860 to date he has been in the service of the Can. Govt, as an engr. During this period of over 37 yrs. Mr. M. has been placed in various important positions, a ri- sumA of which is as follows : In 1863 he was apptd. one of the Govt. Insprs. of Rys. In 1864 he was specially sent to report on the best means of supplying water to the Parlt. Buildings at Ottawa. In 1868-69 he examined the east shore of Lake Huron and the north shore of Lake Erie with a view to the establishment of harbours of refuge on these lakes. In the fall of 1869 he made a part examn. of the east end of the "Dawson" route as a proposed means of water communi- cation with the North-West. In 1870-71, he located the new Welland Canal, and next year (1872), he was apptd. in charge of all the enlarge- ment works. The canal was, how- ever, subdivided and Mr. M. was named Supdt. of the new line of canal from Allanburg to Port Dalhousie, on which all the new lift locks are situated, and remained in charge up to the end of 1888 — the canal having then been ultimately enlarged to a draught of 14 ft. In 1889 he was specially sent by the late Mr. Page, C.E., to report upon the best loca- tion for a 14-foot canal between lakes St. Louis and St. Francis. After much opposition this was placed on the north side of the St. Lawrence, and is now in course of construction under his superinten- dence. It was named by him the "Soulanges Canal." Several im- portant changes have been made in the plans of the locks, etc., which it is believed will result in facilitating the passage of vessels, and at the same time reduce the cost of the works. Mr. M. also designed the water-works at St. Catharines, Ont. , Merritton, etc., and reported on systems for other places. In 1891 he was sent by the Govt, to examine and report upon the Manchester Ship Canal.

Resident Engr. of the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Ry. and its branches, and continued in that position until he came to Can., 1868. Here he was engr. for the city of Halifax, N.S., 1868-69, and, in 1870- 71, was engaged as Chief Engr. for the survey of projected lines of ry. by the Provl. Govt, of N. S. In 1871 he was apptd. Provl. Govt. Engr. for that Province, but resigned as there was no fixed salary attached to the position at the time. From 1871 to 1874 he was contractor for the construction of bridges on the Intercol. Ry. of Can., but returned toN. S. in 1875, the local Legislature having then voted an annual salary and tendered him the Provincial Engineership, a position he still holds. In N. S. he has built iron and steel structures over every river in that Province. His plans, speci- fications and methods for erecting concrete substructures for highway bridges are known, and are gaining favour all over the Am. continent. He has been consulted by the Nfd.

Greig, Waltham- stow, Essex, afterwards matriculat- ing at King's Coll., London, where he took the chaplain'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 honours the Lusby scholarship and the Lucy Exhibition. Before taking his degree, 1860, he published "The Oxford ars Poetica ; or, How to Write a Newdigate," which was lauded by the Spectator, and also by the author of " Verdant Green. " After spend- ing some yrs. on the Continent, Mr. M. came to Can., 1859, and was apptd. shortly afterwards 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. He has written in both prose and verse, but is more particularly known as a poet. In 1869 he won the gold medal offered by the St. Andrew's Soc. of Ottawa, for the best 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 by 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 band of young Frenchmen sought out their old enemy, the Iroquois, and, like the ancient Spartans at Thermopylae, fought desperately until every one of their number had bitten the dust. "Pathos and fire," says a, well- 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 he 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 real poems and show real poetic power ; words not to be lightly used in these days of exuber- ant versification." In his "Songs of the Great Dom.," W. D. Light- hall pronounces his translations of the lyrics of Gautier, Hugo, De Musset, and other French writers, as the most delicate and precise in the Eng. language. Among Mr. M. 's journalistic enterprises was Dioge- nes, a serio-comic weekly, and the Free Lance, both published in Mont- real, the last-named in conjunction with the late Geo. T. Lanigan. In 1882 he established " Notes and Queries " in the Montreal Star, and of this dept. he always has been 670 MURRAY. and still is the ed. He has written also for the Eng. Notes and Queries, and for Once a Week. As a classical scholar, the Ottawa Journal places him among the foremost on the Am. continent. On the formation of the Royal Soc. of Can., 1882, he was apptd. by its founder, the Marquis of Lome, to be one of the 20 original Fellows of the sec. of Eng. Litera- ture, History, etc. He was Secy, for some yrs. of the old Montreal Literary Club, and, on the death of Hon. T. D. McGee, one of the Fellows of that Soc., was chosen, with two others, to edit the literary remains of the lamented poet-states- man. — 11 Brunswick St., Montreal. MURRAY, Hon.

He was first in every class which he attended, and won every prize that was open to him. In 1881 his course at Dalhousie Coll. was interrupted by his capture of the Gilchrist scholarship. This took him to London and Edinburgh. At London he took first prizes in Latin, in Greek, and in Math., and graduated B.A., with honours in Classics. At Edinburgh "he won," says the Halifax Herald, "the ad- miration of his professors for his sound scholarship and excellent literary taste."

He suggested that the tenants' rent indicated the extent of proprietors' interest in the land, and this principle became the basis of settlement of dispute between these parties. He was the chief originator of the Protestant, now Patriot, news- paper, to which for yrs. he was prin- cipal contributor, in defence of ten- ants' rights and in opposition to separate schs. The Presbyterian, now Guardian, owed its inception and editorial standing mostly to him. After the Union of 1860, the Synod proposed him as Prof, of Theol. against Dr. Dods, and lost by the small minority of 5 votes. He was twice chosen Moderator of the Synod of the Maritime Provinces.

In 1863 he became asst. to the late J. S. Howard, Treas. of York and Peel, and at his death, 1866, was apptd. to succeed him in his office. The incident of being canvassed for a life ins. policy led him to take up the study of Ins. in all its bearings, the outcome of which was the formation of the Confederation Life Assn., 1870, with which he has been con- nected throughout. He organized the co., getting stock subscribed, etc., and it was intended that he should assume the management of it. Finding that the work, with his other official duties, was likely to prove too much for his strength, he withdrew from the position, remain- ing, however, on the directorate to MACDONALD. 683 organize the Provl. agencies.

Coming to Can., with her mother, 1854, Miss Bernard henceforward made this country her home. While on a visit to Eng., 1867, she was in. in London, to Sir John Macdonald, he being then en- gaged in carrying to completion the scheme for the union of the B. N. A. Provinces. The bride was the great statesman's second wife, his first wife (Miss Clark) having d. 1856. It is re- corded that the union was a happy one, and resulted advantageously to the public interests. " All that Lady Beaconsfield was to the Con. Premier of Eng.," said a Can. writer, in 1891. '• Lady M. has been, and is, to the Con. Premier of Can., who, singularly enough, bears a striking personal likeness to Dis- raeli. She enjoys his fullest confi- dence. If any one on earth knows his mind it is she. Their under- standing of each other is complete, and their matrimonial felicity un- ruffled. How much Can. owes to Lady M. for the help she has given her greatest statesman only the Premier himself can fully estimate." Lady M. accompanied her husband 684 MACDONALD. to Washington and remained with him throughout the deliberations there of the Joint High Comn. , which resulted in the Treaty of Washing- ton, May, 1871. She likewise accom- panied him on his celebrated journey to B. 0. , when for the first time he passed over the C. P. Ry. , uniting ocean to ocean, a work whose exis- tence was largely due to his efforts. Of this journey she has left a record in the series of papers written by her for Murray's Mag., entitled " By Car and Cow-Catcher. " Among her other papers in that periodical were : " On a Can. Salmon River" (1837) ; " On a Toboggan " (1888). She has likewise written for the Ladies' Home Journal, the Pall Mall Mag., and other periodicals, and, in 1887, contributed to the Montreal Star two descriptive articles of the ser- vices and festivities connected with the celebration of the Queen's Dia- mond Jubilee in London. On the death of Sir John Macdonald, June 6, 1891, Her Majesty was graciously pleased, in recognition of his dis- tinguished public services, to grant the dignity of a peerage to his widow, by the name, style and title of Baroness Macdonald of Earns- cliffe, in the Province of Ont. and Dom. of Can. In conveying the Letters Patent to Lady M. , it was intimated to her that Her Majesty, in bestowing the honour upon her, was pleased thereby to evince her sense both of the distinguished pub- lic services of the departed states- man and of the zealous devotion to the public interests manifested by the new peeress as wife and widow. — " Earnsclife," Ottawa.

On the entrance of the colony into the Dom. he was summoned to the Senate by Lord Lisgar, Dec. 13, 1871. In that body he has taken his share of labour, and has filled with accep- tance the chairmanship of the Comtes. on Standing Orders and Private Bills. On the occasion of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, 1897, he introduced a bill in the Senate for making the Queen's birthday a perpetual holiday. Politically, he is a Lib. Con. , and favours moderate protection to manufacturers and a closer commercial union of all parts of the British Empire. He considers a moderate customs tariff the least objectionable and most equitable way of raising a revenue. He favours the establishment of a per- manent internl. peace tribunal.

He was also Presdt. of the Osgoode Lit. and Legal Soc. As a counsel he dis- tinguished himself more especially at Nisi Prius, and on Chancery cir- cuits. " In one heavy patent case, which attracted considerable public attention," said the Week, "and the hearing of which occupied the court 7 days, Mr. M.'s masterly and suc- cessful management of his clients' cause, in conjunction with the inti- mate knowledge he displayed of the intricacies of patent law, and his elaborate and powerful argument at the close, won for him much credit from bench and bar, and greatly en- hanced his reputation." He had been for some time acting as Depty. Judge for the Co. York, when in Mch., 1883, he was created a Q. C. by the Marquis of Lome. He was apptd. at the same time Junior Judge of the Co. York.

William, statesman, is descended from John Macdougall, a native of the High- lands of Scot., and a U. E. Loyalist, who served in the Brit. Commissariat during the Revolutionary war. S. of Danl. Macdougall, formerly of York (now Toronto), Ont., by his wife, Hannah Matthews, of St. Andrew's, P.Q., he was b. in York, Jan. 25, 1822, and received his edu- cation at the local schs. and at Vic- toria Coll., Cobourg. He studied law in the office of the late Hon. J. H. Price, and was admitted as an atty. and solr., 1847. In 1862 he was called to the bar, and, in 1881, was apptd. a Q. C. by the Marquis of Lome. Before completing his arti- cles as a law student, he had begun to contribute to the newspapers of the day, and according to Dent, "displayed a decided talent for the profession of a journalist." Within a few mths. after his admission as an atty. he established the Can. Farmer, a weekly paper devoted to Agricul., Science and Lit. Its name was subsequently changed to that of the Canadian Agriculturist, and it continued to be published under his auspices down to 1858. Long before this period, however, he had taken a position on the political press. In 1850 he established the North American, a semi- weekly newspaper of radical proclivities, of which he became ed. -in-chief. The political platform laid down by him, the last plank of which has long since been adopted by the people and Parlt. of 45 the country, comprised ( : 1, Elective institutions, which were to apply to the Leg. Council or Upper House of that day, as well as to municipal and local officers ; 2, the abolition of property qualification for Parlia- mentary representatives ; 3, the ex- tension of the elective franchise to householders ; 4, vote by ballot ; 5, biennial parlts. ; 6, representation based on population ; 7, power to the Can. Parlt. to regulate com- mercial intercourse with other na- tions ; 8, law reform, by the giving of equity jurisdiction to the cts. of law, and by simplification of law proceedings ; 9, the application of the Clergy Reserves to educational purposes ; 10, the abolition of the rectories; 11, the abolition of all laws giving special privileges to par- ticular religious denominations ; 12, modifications of the usury laws ; 13, the abolition of the doctrine of primogeniture as applied to real estate ; 14, a decimal currency ; 15, free navigation of the St. Lawrence. Upon the formation of the Hincks- Morin Admn. the North American became 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 discontinued, being merged in the Toronto Olobe, and Mr. M. joined the editorial staff of the last-named journal. After having led a forlorn hope for the Reformers in 3 previous contests, he was re- turned to Parlt. for North Oxford, 1858. He sat for that constituency till 1863, and was, thereafter, up to the close of his political career, 1882, the representative successively of North Ont. , North Lanark and Hal- ton. From 1875 to 1878 he held a seat in the Ont. Legislature. At the g. e. 1887, he stood in the Lib. in- terest for South Grenville, and was defeated. " He grew steadily in power and influence from the time of first taking his seat," says Mr. Dent, "and furnished one of the few instances in the Can. Parlt. of a public man who could both speak 690 MACDOUGALL. and write remarkably well." On the formation/of the Sandfield Mac- donald-Siootte Admn., May, 1862, he accepted office therein as Comnr. of Crown Lands, remaining in that position till the resignation of the Govt., Meh., 1864. In the same year, on the defeat of the Con. Govt, led by Sir E. P. Tache, the latter, being unable to reconstruct without a dissolution, offered Mr. M. 3 seats in the U. C. sec. of his Cabinet if he could bring 2 Libs, in with him, but as Sir Etienne refused to apply the coalition principle in L. C. , the offer was declined. On the formation of the coalition, in June, same year, which resulted in Confederation, Mr. M. was one of the 2 Reformers whom the Hon. Geo. Brown took with him into the Cabinet, he being assigned the office of Provl. Secy. He was from first to last an active promoter of the Union, and to no one does the term, ' ' Father of Con- federation," more rightly apply than to him. He attended the Union Conf. at Charlottetown, 1864, and that held at Quebec in the same year. In 1866-67 he was present at the Colonial Conf. that satin London, Eng. , when the terms of the Federa- tion compact were finally settled. In 1865-66 he served as Chairman of a Royal Comn. apptd. to open trade relations with the West Indies, Mexico and Brazil. On July 1, 1867, he was sworn of the Queen's Privy Council for Can., and apptd. Mr. of Public Works in the Govt, then formed by Sir John A. Mac- donald. At the same time he was created 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 1868 he accompanied Sir Geo. Cartier to Eng., to confer with the Imp. au- thorities on several matters of pub- lic interest, including the defences of the Dom. and the acquisition of the N". W. T. — the latter a matter he had always much at heart. The negotiations, in so far as they related to the N. W. T., were successful. The arrangement, as finally com- pleted, gave general satisfaction in Can., and received the unanimous approval of Parlt. Mr. M.'s share in these negotiations, and his warm interest in everything relating to the N.-W., led to his appt. as first Lt.-Gov. of Rupert's Land and the N. W. T. He left Ottawa for Fort Garry, the proposed seat of his Govt., Oct., 1869, but on reaching Pembina, on the internl. boundary line, was served with a formal notice, on behalf of certain French half-breeds at Fort Garry, forbidding him to enter the Territory. Later, he was ejected from the Territory, and returned to Ottawa. Mean- while, a provisional govt, had been formed at Fort Garry under Louis Riel, with the deplorable results re- corded in history. In 1871 Mr. M. was apptd. a comnr. for Ont. for the settlement of the N.-W. boundary of the Province, and, in 1873, was sent to England by the Can. Govt, as a special comnr. to confer with the Imp. authorities 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., he resumed his law practice, in partnership with his son, the present Judge of York, and was concerned in several important cases, notably, the Campbell divorce case, and the Mercer will case. In 1881 he declined appt. to a judge- ship and also to a It. -governorship. He has published in pamphlet form : ' ' Eight Letters to the Hon. Joseph Howe on the Red River Rebellion " (1870); "Six Letters to the Hon. 0. Mowat on the Amendment of the Provincial Constitution" (1872); and "An Open Letter to the Hon. H. Mercier on the Federalism of the Federal Constitution of 1867" (1887). (See also the Introduction to "Morgan's D. A. R., 1878," con- taining reasons for Confederation, written by Mr. M. ) Among the several measures which have been placed by him on the statute book, MACDUFF — MACFARLANE. 691 are the Bureau of Agricul. and Agricul.

Ed. at the village sch., he, while quite young, began con- tributing short poems and sketches to newspapers and mags. , under the mom de plume "John Arbory," many of which displayed consider- able talent. At 16, he went to Glasgow, where he obtained a situa- tion with a mercantile firm. It was while residing there, and before he had completed his 20th year, that he composed the poem for the in- auguration of the Glasgow Burns statue, Jan. 25, 1887, which has been singled out for much notice, and has found a place side by side with productions of Wordsworth, Campbell, Longfellow, Whittier, and others, in a volume containing all the best verse yet written in honour of Scotland's poet king. Since then he has written many fine pieces, among which may be men- tioned, "The Lost Lang Syne," "The Bonnie Banks o' Clyde," which are included in the volume, "Heather and Harebell," which he published, 1894. He also con- tributed : " Round Burns' Grave," "Highland Mary," etc., to Burn- siana.

MacLEAN, Major John Bayne, V. M. , journalist and publisher, is the a. of the late Rev. Andrew MacLean, of Inverness, Scot., by his wife, Catharine Cameron. B. at Creiff, Ont., Sept. 26, 1862, he was ed. in Toronto and began his newspaper career in the office of the World. From there he went to the Mail, as its asst. commercial ed. He joined the Empire staff as commercial ed. when the paper began, but left it a couple of yrs. later "to publish an art series in N. Y. and London, Eng., out of which, people say, he made a modest fortune. In 1887 he started the Can. Grocer, the first weekly special trade paper in Can. This was followed in 1889 by Hardware and Metal, another weekly, and the Dry Goods Review and Printer and Publisher. He owns the Bookseller and Stationer, the Military Gazette, and is also interested in two out-of- town newspapers. All his ventures have been successful ; the trade journal business especially has grown in extent and influence, and his arti- cles are more frequently quoted as authorities on business questions than are any other in Can.

The edi- torial and business staff has grown from 2 persons in 1 887 to 29 at the present time, exclusive of special writers. Mr. MacL. is supposed to work very hard to keep his various enterprises booming, but he does not; his success is more owing to his tharough knowledge of every dept. of a paper and his ability to direct others to do the work. He learned to set type and make up forms when at sch. ; he spent his spare time on the Mail with the pressmen and the electrotypers ; and during his 9 years' experience has filled every editorial and reportorial position on a paper. He spares no pains to get at the true facts, and his information is always reliable. He is the sworn enemy of promoters of doubtful or fraudulent enterprises, and many readers of his papers have been warned in time to keep out of these. Speaking of his methods and capabilities a well- known journalist has said : " As a commercial ed. Mr. MacL. has per- haps no superior on the Can. press. He knows personally almost every prominent merchant and manufac- turer in the Dom. , and is thus able to keep posted on doings in the business world."

B. in Ancaster, Wentworth, Ont., Aug. 10, 1854, he was ed. at the Hamilton public schs. and at Toronto Univ. (B.A., 1880). Mr. M. is what may be termed a born journalist, having from his early youth had a marked predilection for a newspaper life. After having been on the re- porting and editorial staff of several Can. journals, including the Toronto Olobe, he established, in 1880, the Toronto World, as an Ind. Con. journal, a title it has since con- sistently maintained. Within recent yrs., the World has issued a Sunday edition, being the first of the Can. dailies to introduce that innovation. It was also the first daily paper in Can. to be published at the price of one cent. Conjointly with W. J. Loudon, B.A., Mr. M. published, 1887, the Fasti of the Univ. of Toronto. He was an unsuccessful candidate, in the Con. interest, for the representation of North Went- worth in the Ont. Assembly, g. e. 1890, and for East York, in the Ho. of Commons, against the late Hon. Alex. Mackenzie, g. e. 1891 {Vole: Hon. A. Mackenzie, L., 3003; W. F. Maclean, C, 2977). He was first returned, May, 1892, on the death of Mr. Mackenzie ( Vote: W. F. Maclean, C, 3668; J. K. Leslie, L., 3417), and was re-elected, g. e. 1896. He is a strong protectionist, and a believer in Can. 's right to a national existence on this continent, and that Brit, connection is necessary thereto. He favours Sunday street cars, the closing of the Parliamentary liquor bar, the abolition of ry. passes to mems. of the Legislature and of Parlt. , and the fixing of a uniform passenger rate on rys. of 2 cents per mile. In an editorial on the position of parties, he thus outlines Can.'s needs, according to his ideas : "What Can. wants is protection at home, preferential trade within the Empire, a Canadian policy, as against the U.S., and these principles adminis- tered, by men who are honest in their profession of them, and honest in an effort to secure economical and pro- gressive govt, in other lines."

MacLEOD, Mrs. Elizabeth 8., author, is the only dau. of the late Martin Macqueen, of Skye, by his wife, Sophie Treherne, and is a native of Edinburgh. While at sch., her holi- days being spent with the relatives of her father and mother, she had not only the opportunity of moving in the best social circle, but of observ- ing and enquiring into the condition of the Highland peasantry. The knowledge thus gained has enabled Mrs. MacL. to plead forcibly both in poetry and prose, the cause of the oppressed, and to urge the only effectual remedy, emigration to the freer and broader land of her adop- tion. Though Mrs. MacL. has been a frequent contributor to Scottish, Am. and Can. publications during the past 20 yrs., her first book, "Carols of Canada," has but re- cently appeared. It has met with a favourable reception, and the tal- ented author is now engaged on a Scottish-Can. story, written for the purpose of inducing emigration. Mrs. MacL. first visited Can. in MaoLEOD — MaoMAHON. 709 1870; she returned in 1878, and was then m. to her cousin, Alex. D. MacLeod, H.

He served his apprenticeship with an Eng. engr. at Kingston, Ont., 1851, and 3 yrs. afterwards, entered into practice. He has been con- nected with the exploration and con- struction of the principal rys. of Can. — the Grand Trunk and others, 1851-59; the Intercolonial, 1867-73; and the C. P. R. , 1873-92. He made an exploration for the C. P. Ry. from the mouth of the Skeena River, B. C. , through the Peace River coun- try to Winnipeg, 1879, and had charge of one of the heaviest sec- tions of the ry. in the mts. of B. C.

He has also been employed on important arbitrations, and, in May, 1893, was apptd. Chairman of the Lachine Canal Comn. of Investigation. His several official reports upon the N. W. T., the Peace River country, and the northern portion of B. C. , contain much valuable information touching the resources and capabili- ties of most portions of the Dom. , to be found nowhere else. He now practises as a consulting engr. He is a Con. in politics, and in religious belief, an Ang. Early in his career he served in the V. M.

S., a native of Cootehill, Co. Cavan, Irel., who came to Can., 1819, by his wife, Anne MacGovern, and was b. in Guelph, Ont., Mch. 6, 1836. The family belonged originally to Mona- ghan, and during the troublous times of the last of the reigning Stuarts, held important positions in their native country. Two members of the family were Col. Art Oge MacMahon, who was James H.'s lord-lieut. for Monaghan, and Hugh MacMahon, who was It. -col. of Gordon O'Neil's Charlemont regt. of foot. This corps was engaged after- wards in the service of France, and belonged to the famous " Irish Brigade." Ed. by his father, a man of high scholastic attainments, he entered the public service, as an asst. engr., under the late Lt.-Col. Gallwey, C.E., and was employed on the survey for the proposed Ottawa ship canal, and, after- wards, on the work of construc- tion on that portion of the line at the Chats rapids. Resigning this employment, 1857, he entered on the study of law and was called to the bar, 1864. For 5 yrs. he practised in Brantford, in partnership with his bro. , the late Thos. B. MacMahon, afterwards Co. Judge of Norfolk. He then removed to London, where, in a few yrs. he built up the largest and most lucrative business in the West. He was created a Q. C. , by the Ont. Govt., 1876, and received a similar honour from the Marquis of Lansdowne. 1885. In 1877 he repre- sented the Dom. Govt, in the arbitra- tion between the Ont. and Federal 710 MaoMARTIN — MaoMASTEE. Govts, touching the western and the north-western boundaries of Ont., and, in 1884, when the matter was carried to the Privy Council, he was sent to Eng. , with Christopher Robinson, Q.C., and D' Alton Mc- Carthy, Q.C., on behalf of the Dom. Govt. As a criminal lawyer he highly distinguished himself in one of the most sensational trials of the century, well known as the Biddulph murder case, 1880, in which he was counsel for the prisoners. Re- moving to Toronto, 1883, he con- tinued a successful practice in that city up to his appt. as a Puisne Judge of the Common Pleas Div. of the High Ct. of Justice of Ont. , Nov. 30, 1887. The case of the most gen- eral public interest which has come before him as a judge since his appt. to the Bench was the trial of John R. Birchall for the murder of P. C. Benwell near Woodstock, Ont., 1890, the details of which will be fresh in the recollection of the reader. Of this case the London Spectator said : ' ' Apart from the special interest created by theprisoner's antecedents, the trial has in many ways been a remarkable one. Por the first time since the telegraph made sensational murder trials international the Cana- dian administration of justice has undergone 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 reflection of the proceedings in a provincial court-house on to the newspaper sheets throughout the Eng. -speaking world. The test, however, has been undergone, and the country realizes that for dignity and impartiality Canadian trials compare favourably with those of any country in the world except Eng. . . No trial at any Eng. assizes could have been conducted with a more admirable temper than that at Woodstock in Canada. Judge, jury, and 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 every sense creditable to the Dom. In no country in the world could Birchall have had a fairer trial than he obtained in Ont." Politically, before his eleva- tion to the Bench, Mr. MaoM. was a Lib. , and ran in that interest for the Ho. of Commons, first for the city of London, g. e. 1872; and secondly, for the Co.' of Kent, g. o. 1878, being defeated on both occa- sions. In religious faith, His Lord- ship is a R. C. In private life, he is known as a man of culture and re- finement, whose judgment as a connoisseur in art is highly regarded in professional circles. He has writ- ten occasionally for the press on his- torical and other subjects, and his addresses to juries are spoken of as being models of graceful and elegant diction.

By constant yearly de- velopment his manufacturing estab- lishments went on increasing until he had in his charge no less than 70 cheese factories, consuming the milk of more than 25,000 cows, and yield- ing more than 5,500,000 lbs. of cheese. He has been instrumental in effecting many improvements in the apparatus and implements used in his business, and it was he, too, who put into operation the system of inspection and technical instruc- tion that now obtains in connection with dairying in Ont. He was for yrs. corresp. ed. of the dairy dept. of the Live, Stock Journal (Hamilton), and he had a share in founding the Soc. d'Ind. Laitiere in Quebec.

Ac- companying his parents to Can. when 4 yrs. of age, he was ed. first by private tutor and afterwards at Toronto Acad. He was also a par- tial student at the Univ. of Toronto. He studied Theol. at Knox Coll., graduating 1859. Ordained, 1857, he performed his first mission work at Collingwood, and after declining calls to B. C. , to Brantford, to Col- lingwood and to West Toronto, ac- cepted a unanimous call to Knox Ch. , Guelph. Here his talents as a preacher won him a call, in 1860, to Cote St. Ch., Montreal, to be the successor of the Rev. Donald Fraser, D.D. , afterwards of London, Eng. After 8 yrs. of successful labour, dur- ing which the congregation doubled its membership, Mr. MacV. was apptd. by the Genl. Assembly, Prin- cipal of, and Prof, of Divinity in, the Presb. Coll., Montreal. This insti- tution was then in its feeblest be- ginnings, with no endowment, no books, no building, and only 5 or 6 students. Now it possesses a hand- some building, a valuable library, an endowment fund, and an efficient staff of professors and lecturers, the attendance keeping pace therewith. Always taking a deep interest in the work of French-Can. evangel., he organized a dept. in the coll. for the training of French-Can. ministers. He served for many yrs. as a Prot. Sch. Comnr., becoming Presdt. of the Bd., 1879. In 1881 he was chosen Moderator of the Genl. As- sembly of the Presb. Ch. in Can. Dr. MacV. has lectured on Logic and Ethics before the Ladies' Edu- cational Assn., Montreal, and he was also, for a season, a lecturer on Logic in McGill Univ. He attended the Pan-Preab.

Not long since he declined a call to South Ch. , Brooklyn, N.Y., at a salary of $7000 per annum. In 1893, on the completion of 25 years' service in the Presb.

About the time he finished his studies a deputation from South Africa visited Scot., seeking a relay of ministers 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 Cape.- He settled in the upland section of Na- tal, adjoining the Transvaal, and la- boured 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 been published in the Eng. and the Dutch languages, and is still referred to as a most reliable work. His health failing, he returned to Scot, and engaged in mission 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 fields in N. S., Ont. and Quebec. In Jan., 1896, he was placed in charge of the Christian Mission for the Jews, Montreal.— 205 St. Urbain St., Montreal. MCCARTHY, D' Alton, Q.C., states- man, belongs to an ancient Irish family. He is the s. of the lato DAlton McCarthy, solicitor, by his wife, Charleszina Hope Manners, and was b. at Oakley Park, Blackrock, near Dublin, Irel. , Oct. 10, 1836. His early studies were conducted in his native country. In 1847 he accompanied his parents to Can., and was placed at the Barrie Grammar Sch., where he completed his education. Called to the bar, 1858, he entered on the practice of his profession in partnership with his father and the late D'Arcy Boulton, Q. C. , and speedily attained a distinguished and eminent position therein. He 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 period he was named an hon. mem. of the Law Faculty of Toronto Univ., and was elected u, 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 his 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 importance, including a large 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 biographers, "is sharp and incisive, his glance keen and searching, his summing up 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, 1876, 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 previously unsuccessfully contested the constituency of North Simcoe, on 3 occasions. In the Ho. of Commons he immediately distin- 720 McCarthy. guished himself in debate, and before the close of his first session was regarded as the rising star of the Con. party. "His first speech," says Mr. Davin, in his " Irishmen in Can. ," " marked him as a man for whom all things may be hoped." Sir John Macdonald, 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 exception of Sir Charles Tupper, possessed the aged statesman's con- fidence to the same extent. Out- side of Parlt. he undertook the work of organization for his party, and for a considerable period filled the office of Chairman of the Ex. Comte. 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 Province. Mr. McC. broke with his party in 1889, in consequence of the position taken by the Cabinet on the Mercier Jesuits' Estates Act — a position to which the almost entire Prot. senti- ment of the country was opposed. From this time he assumed an ind. attitude in politics. He was placed at the 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 Tupper regimes, he gave battle to all comers on the Man. Sch. question. Com- mencing in 1893, he made several tours through the Dom. , addressing large audiences, sometimes as many as 3 a day, in opposition to the policy of his former political friends. He was stigmatized by the leading party organ: "Chief of the 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 with the defeat of the Admn. at the polls, in June, 1896. At that elec- tion Mr. McC. was 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 his old constituents, he resigned the seat for Brandon. His work as a politician being done, for the time, he has since the meeting of the new Parlt. been heard from but little. Of late his name has been mentioned in connec- tion with a seat in the Laurier Cabinet. Politically, Mr. McC. calls himself ' ' neither a Tory nor a Lib.," but stands to do right. Re- garding the trade question, his con- tentions may be summarized as fol- lows : 1st. He has thought, since 1891, that the time had come when, according td the policy laid down in 1877-78, sufficient opportunity had been afforded to manufacturers to establish their industries, and that a return should be had to the prin- ciple of a revenue tariff. 2ndly. That he was opposed to any recipro- cal relations with the U. S. which involved discrimination against Gt. Brit. ; short of that, he is pre- pared for the freest possible tariff regulations, not merely in natural products, but in manufactured ar- ticles as well. 3rdly. And chiefly, he was the advocate, and, we may say, the political parent, of the maximum and minimum tariff, giv- ing Brit, 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 has long since reached the con- clusion that Can. would find her truest and best development within and as a part of the Brit. Empire, and that Canadians needed no higher aspiration than appertained to that position. His opinion is that noth- ing short of a great war, in which the Empire would suffer dismember- ment, would change the political relations in which Can. stands to the Mother Country. This does not ignore the gradual extension of Canadian political rights until Cana- dians in all respects stand on an equality with the Englishman, Irish- man and Scotchman. He is Presdt. McCarthy — mocaul. 721 of the McCarthy League, was for- merly Presdt. of the Can. Branch of the Imp. Fed. League, and is now a mem. of the Council of the Brit. Empire League.

He showed himself a conscientious and 736 MoGEE — MoGIBBON. generous opponent, and would never resort to those questionable means unhappily too common in election contests in Can. In the spring of 1881 he went to Europe to investi- gate the opportunities for introduc- ing in Austria the Can. system of drilling for oil. Favourably impressed witb*his observations, he returned to Can. for competent men to assist in the work, and in July, same year, again went to Austria, accompanied by several of Petrolea's most skilful drillers.

He likewise established many other important industries in that country, and now employs be- tween 600 and 700 men. His princi- pal managers in the various depts. , of which there are about 30, are Canadians.

On leaving sch. she organized free evening classes for working boys, and for 4 yrs. taught them in the basement of her father's house 4 nights in the week and on Sunday afternoons. For the next 2 and a half yrs. Miss Mel. was in the Old Country, most of the time engaged in the study of singing, varied by pedestrian trips in Scot, and a session at the Na- tional Training Sch. of Cookery in South Kensington. Five months of 1892 she also spent in European travel, followed by 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 since 1886. She won the prize offered by that institution in 1889 for the best essay on ' ' How far is the history of the nineteenth century reflected in its litera- ture?" Her first story was pub- lished in Harper's Bazaar, 1890, and, in 1894, she made her first ap- pearance in Harper's Mag. She has also contributed short stories to All the Year Sound and the Youth's Companion, but her only attempt at verse-making is the libretto of the comic opera, "Ptarmigan," which was produced 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 part of the U. S. with which she is acquainted. She knows Quebec and Ontario better, and 6 out of the 8 short stories she has written describe life on the lower St. Lawrence. She writes under the nom de plume of ' ' Jean For- syth." In 1897 she, in collaboration with Wm. McLennan (q.v.), com- pleted an historical romance, the scene of which is laid in New France, for the Harpers, N. Y.

Ed. there, he went to Edinburgh, 1848, and, in 1853, came to Can., making hia home at Hamilton, where he became mangr. of the gas works. In 1871 he em- barked in business on his own ac- count. He has sat in the City Council, been 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 Can. he gave his special attention to the birds of the country, and there being no published books to serve as guides to the identifying of the species he might find here, he prepared a paper on the subject with a list of such birds as he had ob- tained, and read it before the Ham- ilton Assn. The list appeared in the Can. Journal, July, 1860, and the paper in the same publication, Jan., 1861. These aroused the in- terest of Am. ornithologists, and, in 1865, he prepared, by request, an extended list of birds observed near Hamilton, which list 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 the purpose of revising the classification and nomenclature of Am. birds. The gathering re- sulted in the formation of the Am. Ornithologists' Union, of which he has since been a mem. He was apptd. supdt. for the Dist. of Ont. for the Migration Comte. of the Union, and saw to the selection of assistants throughout the Province to observe the arrival and departure of migratory birds. Later, he pre- pared " The Birds of Ont. : being a list of birds observed in the Province, with an account of their habits, distribution, nests, eggs, etc.," which was published by the Ham- ilton Assn., 1887. A second ed. of this book, enlarged and revised to date, with illustrations by E. E. Thompson, appeared, 1894. Mr. Mel. preserves and mounts his own specimens, and he now possesses a collection of native birds which is regarded as being singularly large and complete.

After a course of 2 yrs. in public finance and in jurispru- dence and legal history, he took his Ph.D. degree, presenting as his thesis a series of essays in Can. financial history. In the same year (1894) he became an examr. in Const. History in the Univ. of Toronto, and was apptd. Prof, of History and Pol. Science in the Univ. of Col- orado, a position he still holds. In 748 MoLE AN — MoLE LL AN. 1895 he was elected a mem. of the Council of the Am. Economic Assn. — Boulder, Col. McLEAN, J. EMEKY, journalist, is of joint Scotch and Irish descent, and was b. at Alton, Ont., Mch. 7, 1865. His parents removing to Orangeville, he was ed. there, and, at 14, was apprenticed to a local printer. At this time he excelled as a cornet player, and at a band tournament held at Ingersoll carried off the 3rd prize from 11 competi- tors. At 17 he was leader of a band in Petrolea. Removing to the U. S. , he became head proofreader at the headquarters of the Am. Bible Soc. in N. Y. His skill in this difficult field is evidenced by the peculiar work he was obliged to perform. It is stated that he once read the proof-sheets of a volume containing 1 verse of the Bible translated into 242 different languages and dialects. It is safe to say that a similar task has fallen to the lot of no other man on the Am. continent. The burden- some routine of this position, how- ever, after a few yra., became too irksome for Mr. McL. , and we next find him associate ed. of the New York Financier. His literary tastes and accomplishments thus becoming known, he soon had more remunera- tive offers made to him for his ser- vices, and by his editorial work on the Metaphysical Mag. he is rapidly making his mark in the Am. field of letters.

Following this, he attended Columbia Univ., N. Y. , was a Fellow there, 1895-96, and took his A. M. degree. Being offered a fellowship in Chicago Univ., he was in residence there, 1896, and received the degree of Ph.D. from the same institution. His thesis on the latter occasion was a history of the development of the ry. systems of Can., and is spoken of as being a most valuable contribution to Can. literature. In 1897 he was apptd. to the chair of History and Eco- nomics in the Univ. of Arkansas. — Fayetteville, Ark. " More than a bookman." — Globe.

Later, he joined Wilson Barrett's co., taking small parts at first, and has since gradually secured a front place in the theatrical pro- fession. He is said to have made a special study of Eng. literature at the Univ., and is now a Shake- spearian scholar of some authority. He has played some 40 rdles, the most conspicuous among them being "Iago," "the Bishop" and "the Deemster," in Ben-ma-Chree ; "the Tetrarch," in Claudian ; " Deala- tus" and "Claudius," in Virginius ; ' ' Father Christmas," in Silver King ; and "Nero" and "the Bat," in Pharaoh.

Normal Sch. , afterwards entering the Univ. of Toronto (B.A., and med. in Math, and Metaph., 1862; M.A., 1863; LL.B., 1872; LL.D., 1873). Apptd. to the teaching staff in Central Sch., St. Mary's, 1858, he was transferred to the Grammar Mclennan. 749 Sch. at the same place on its open- ing, 1860. He became head of Yarmouth Semy. on the opening of that institution, 1864, and while occupying that position took an ac- tive part in favour of Confederation, for which he received the special thanks of the then Prime Minister, the late Sir John A. Alacdonald. In 1869 he returned to Toronto to become a Math, teacher in U. C. Coll. He was apptd. High Sch. Inspr. for Ont., 1871, and at the same time a mem. of the first Cen- tral Comte. on Education.

Normal Coll. for the profes- sional training of 1st class public sch. teachers and High sch. assts. ), 1890. In 1897 Dr. McL., who be- sides being Principal of the Coll. , is Prof, of Psychol, and History of Education therein, took possession of the fine new building which had been erected in Hamilton for the Coll. He was elected a dir. of the Dom. Educatl. Assn. , 1895, and he has been also Presdt. of the Ont. Teachers' Assn. In 1897 Dr. McL. delivered » course of lectures on Literature and the Psychol, of Num- ber to the sch. teachers of Penn., over 2000 teachers being in constant attendance at each lecture. Among his literary productions are several works on Arith. and Algebra ; one on Applied Psychol. (1889) ; one on Psychol, of Number and its applica- tions to methods of teaching Arith. (1895), and one, in collaboration with A. F. Ames, onthe Psychol, of Arith. (1897). He has now in preparation "Aims and Methods in the Study of Eng. Literature." In religion, Dr. McL. is a Meth., and has been a local preacher in that body.

"Next to Egerton Byerson probably Dr. McL. stands out as the one whose personal- ity is most intimately associated with the development of the Ont. Soh. system. While emphasizing the principle of equality of opportunity to the children of rich and poor alike, he devoted special attention to the improvement of our High schs. He realized that to have a high standard of public education we must have well quali- fied teachers, and that to this end the institutions in which these teachers were to receive the ground-work of their knowledge — the High schs. — must be made efficient. While Inspr. of secondary schs., Dr. McL. brought math, teaching up to a magnificent standard ; and having placed this branch of instruction on a sound basis, he next turned his attention to the value of Eng. Lit. as a subject of culture for both public and High schs. Dr. McL. is widely known not only in Ont. and eastern Can., but also in the TJ. S., as a forcible and inspiring lecturer on educational themes. To his facility of ex- pression is added the power of a sympa- thetic manner, a lofty and refined imagina- tion, and an intensely patriotic spirit which he never fails to carry with him when ad- dressing audiences beyond the borders of his native land. Before appt. to his present position, Dr. McL. did a very helpful work throughout Ont. as dir. of Teachers' Insts. His contributions to rational methods of instruction, and his contagious enthusiasm, which has done so much to deepen among teachers a love for their work, are two prominent and invaluable features of the service he has rendered. Dr. McL. is just in the prime of intellectual maturity, and his recent publications in the science of pedagogics give ground for the expecta- tion that, as head of the Normal Coll., he may long continue to exercise a strong formative influence on our univ. graduates who aspire to the duties of the teaching profession. For what he has already achieved he may fairly be assigned a leading place among the men of our time whose personality has contributed most to the development of the Ont. Sch. system." — R. H.

In 1867 he succeeded his father in the editorship of the Religious In- telligencer, which he also owns. He received the hon. degree of D.D. from Acadia Coll., 1886. He has on several occasions declined nomi- nation as a candidate for a seat in the Ho. of Commons. As a mem. of the Royal Comn. apptd. to en- quire into the liquor traffic of the Dom., he, in Apl., 1895, presented to the Gov. -Genl. -in-Council a minority report, partly supplemental and partly corrective of the majority report. In this document (see Ho. of Commons papers) he enters into a discussion of the effects of the liquor traffic on all interests affected by it in Can. , deals with the ques- tion of pauperism, disease, mortality, insanity and idiocy, and takes up the question of the responsibility of the traffic, the cost of liquors con- sumed, cost of prisons, loss of labour, "shortened lives and misdirected effort." Canada's annual drink bill is summed up as follows : Cost of the liquor traffic : Amount paid for liquor by consumers, $39,879,854 ; value of grain, etc., destroyed, $1,889,765; cost of proportion of pauperism, disease, insanity and crime chargeable to the liquor traffic, $3,149,097; loss of productive la- bour, 876,288,000; loss through mortality caused by drink, $14,304,- 000; misdirected labour, $7,748,000; total, $143,258,716. Receipts from the liquor traffic: Dom. Govt., $7,101,557; Provl. Govts., $942,- 652 ; municipalities, $429,107; total, $8,473,316. Net loss, $134,785,400. The following are his conclusions: " 1. That the Can. Ho. of Commons was right when it declared, 1887, ' that total prohibition is the right and only effective remedy for the evils of intemperance.' That the Ho. of Commons was right in de- claring, at the same time, 'that this House is prepared to enact such legislation as soon as public opinion MoLEOD — MoMAHON. 753 will sustain them in doing so,' and that the Ho. of Commons was well advised in reiterating from time to time, as already set out, this dec- laration. 2. That all information which the Comn. has been able to obtain has made it clear that the effect of the liquor traffic has been, and is, seriously detrimental to all the moral, social and material in- terests of the nation ; that the measures employed to lessen, regu- late or prohibit the traffic have been of value and effective only in pro- portion as they have approximated in their operations to the absolute prohibition of the traffic in intoxi- cating beverages ; and that the revenue requirements of the country should not be considered a reason for the continuance of an admitted evil, and, moreover, could be met without the continuance of that evil. 3. That the endorsement which the electorate of different sections of the Dom. have given at the ballot box to the principle of Prohibition, whenever submitted, as well as many petitions, etc., of ch. courts, temp, organizations, municipal coun- cils and other representative bodies, make it sufficiently clear that a majority of the people of Can. are in favour of a total prohibition of the liquor traffic. 4. That it would, therefore, be right and wise for the Dom. Parlt. without further delay to carry out the promise given, and give effect to the principles stated in its several resolutions, by the enactment and thorough enforce- ment of a law prohibiting the man- ufacture, importation and sale of intoxicating liquors — except formed- ical, sacramental and scientific pur- poses — in and into the Dom."

He is descended, on the paternal side, from a native of Scot., who settled in Ulster in the time of .Tames I. , and on the mother's side, from a French Huguenot named Mercier, who fled from his country after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and ultimately settled in Irel. Ed. at home, he proceeded to India, 1843, and saw much of that country, his impressions being em- bodied in a volume which he pub- lished on his return to Eng. , 1846, in which year he likewise m. Miss Sarah Charlotte Nesbitt, and took to farming. Two yrs. of famine, however, having disheartened him, he made a gift of his farm to a rela- tive, and sailed for N. Y. , intending to settle in the U. S. Not liking that country, he crossed into Can., and finally made his home in Brock - ville, Ont., 1849, where he estab- lished himself in the book trade. Three yrs. afterwards he added a printing office to his other business, and, in 1S57, purchased the plant and copyright of the Brockville Monitor — a Con. journal — which he continued to publish up till quite recently, contributing not a little during his journalistic career to the ascendancy and continued success of his party friends. 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 Ont., the material was exceedingly scanty and fragmentary ; but, after much research, he was eventually able to put its historical narrative together piece by piece, and, in 185a, the 1st ed. of his "History of Canada" made its appearance, and met with a most encouraging reception. In 1867 he published the 2nd ed., bringing the narrative down to the rise of the Dom. In 1892, after 2 yrs. of steady labour in the way of revision and continuation, the 3rd ed. of this work was published, bringing it down to the death of Sir John A. Macdonald, and the defeat of the Mercier Admn. in Quebec. His book claimed and ob- tained credit for independence and honesty, and even when rival works appeared, held its place in the favour of the reading public, espe- cially in Ont. Mr. McM. is also the author of a work, "The Camp and Barrack Room ; or, the Brit. Army as It is " ; and he has ed. a work, published 1882, entitled " Every Man his own Lawyer." .

B. near New Glas- gow, P.E.I., May 4, 1843, he com- menced his sch. education under Robt. Laird, an eld. bro. of Hon. David Laird. He afterwards attend- ed sch. at Pubnico, principally to learn French, and commenced the battle of life as a clk. in a mercantile establishment at Summerside. When 19 yrs. of age, he realized what had long been his strongest desire, by entering St. Dunstan's Coll., Char- lottetown, to study for the priest- hood. After 2 yrs. he became a student at the Coll. of the Propa- ganda at Rome. There he carried off the gold medal for excellence, and graduated doctor of divinity and of phil. In 1871 he was ordained to the priesthood, and returning to P. E. I., was for 2 yrs. a prof, and prefect of studies in St. Dunstan's Coll. In Oct., 1873, he was apptd. principal priest at the cath. , but his health giving way, he was sent as parish priest to Indian River, where he remained for 8 yrs. In 1880 he accompanied the late Bp. Mclntyre to Rome as Secy., and, in the fol- lowing year, paid a 2nd visit to the Eternal City with Archbp. Hannan, at his special request. On the de- mise of the latter prelate, Dr. O'B. was apptd. to succeed him as 4th Archbp. of Halifax. The bull nom- inating him was dated Dec. 2, 1882, and his consecration took place at St. Mary's Cath., Halifax, Jan. 21, 1883. Since his appt. , His Grace has shown unwonted activity in the work of the diocese, a large number of chs., schs. and glebe-houses hav- ing arisen through his 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 $75,000. Subsequently, he revived the St. Patrick's Home, a reformatory for Cath. boys ; founded the Victoria Infirmary and the Infants' Home ; purchased an archiepiscopal resi- dence; established several colonies of nuns ; and carried out certain costly and much needed repairs in St. Mary's Cath. The 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 the Benedictines. His Grace'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 periodi- cal press, he has added works of lasting interest and merit. Of these the principal are : " Philosophy of the Bible Vindicated" (1876); "Ma- ter Admirabilis" (1882); "After Weary Years," a novel; "Saint Agnes, Virgin and Martyr" (1887) ; "Aminta, a modern life drama" (1890); and "Memoirs of Bishop Burke" (1894). Archbp. O'B. was, during its existence, an office-bearer in the Imp. Federation League, and is now a V.-P. for N. S. of the Brit. Empire League in Can. He preached the sermon at the state funeral of Sir John Thompson, Jan., 1895, and, in 1896, was elected Presdt. of the Royal Soc. of Can. — Archbishop's Palace, Halifax, N.8.

Courts Manual," and was the compiler of ' ' Harrison and O'Brien's Digest of Ont. Re- ports. " He was also for some time ed. of "Ont. Practice Reports." At the time of the movement for mu- nicipal reform in Toronto, 1885-86, he took an active part in the efforts which resulted in the election to the mayoralty of the late Wm. H. Howland, he being chairman of his comte. During Mr. Howland's life- time he was associated with him in most of his philanthropic and hu- mane undertakings, and since his death he has continued to labour in the same direction, devoting his spare time to mission work among the poor of the city. He is a V.-P. of the Ont. branch of the Lord's Day Alliance. He joined the V. M. movement in Barrie, 1855, and, on his removal to Toronto, raised and commanded an ind. rifle CO., which was afterwards incorporated in the "Queen's Own."

Ed. there, he came to Montreal, 1850, where he has since resided. He began his active business career, 1858, by entering the wholesale clothing and dry goods trade. This business was continued with another jointly till 1862, when Mr. O'B. assumed full control, and thereafter conducted it on his own account. In his hands the business became widely devel- oped, and was ultimately extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He retired from active business pur- suits with a handsome fortune, 1893, but remains interested in several industrial and financial institutions, including the Royal Victoria Life Ins. Co. and the Montreal City and Diet. Savings Bank, of both of which he is a dir. He is the sixth largest individual shareholder in the Bank of Montreal. A R.

Coll., and entered an architect's office, 1847. He subse- quently studied and practised as a C. E. , and in both of these callings established his proficiency as a draughtsman. Many yrs. passed, mostly in open air, sketch book in hand, aided and impelled by an intense love of nature, training him for a landscape painter. In 1872, when the Ont. Soc. of Artists was formed, he was asked to join it, and, in the following year, was elected V. -P. , an office which he held until 1880, when he was apptd. Presdt. of the Royal Can. Acad, of Art, founded in that year by Lord Lome and the Princess Louise. He re- mained Presdt. for 10 yrs., being succeeded by Mr. Jacobi, 1890. During this period he took an active part in the organization of artistic life and art education in Can. , retiring only when both were established on as firm and satisfac- tory a basis as the circumstances of the country would permit. He was elected Presdt. of the newly formed Provl. Guild of Sculpture, Toronto, Nov., 1895. Mr. O'B. is eminently a Can. painter, although he has painted and studied both in Eng. and Prance, and has exhibited frequently in the London exhns. He painted two pictures of Quebec by command of Her Majesty the Queen. He has likewise executed several commissions for the Marquis of Lome and the Princess Louise. Of his water-colour drawings perhaps the most interesting are a series illustrating some of the more pro- minent peculiarities of the scenery in the Rocky Mts. and the Selkirk Range.

When he was only 3 yrs. old his parents emigrated to Can., and settled in Toronto. In 1852 he entered St. Michael's Coll. in that city, as one of its first stu- dents, and took a full course in Lit. , Math., Classics, and Phil., with marked distinction. He was after- wards sent to the Grand Semy., Montreal, for the study of Theol. When ordained by the late Archbp. Lynch, 1861, he was sent to the Gore of Toronto to begin his minis- try. He was afterwards apptd. to Niagara Falls, and then to the old and populous parish of Adjala, which has been since divided into 2 parishes. In 1870 Bp. Lynch apptd. him Dean of Barrie. There he built a beautiful ch. , and a large and commodious convent. The mission of Barrie was then more extensive than it now is, including as it did the flourishing parishes of Colling- wood and Stayner. He laboured there with much acceptance to all classes, being for some yrs. a trustee of the Coll. Inst. , and a mem. of the Bd. of Sch. Examrs. for the co., as well as Supdt. of the Barrie Separate Sch. During his time Collingwood and Stayner were formed into separate parishes. After 25 years' faithful service in the priesthood, he was apptd. to the See of Peter- boro', rendered vacant by the translation of Bp. Dowling to Ham- ilton. In May, 1889, His Lord- ship was consecrated by the Most Rev. Archbp. Cleary in St. Peter's Cath., Peterboro'. The diocese, which extends over a very large territory, had been but lately es- tablished, and many diocesan works were still in an incipient stage — including the St. Joseph's Hospi- tal, Peterboro', the corner-stone of which was laid less than a year previously by Bp. Dowling. Dr. O'C. entered upon his episcopal duties with zeal and energy, soon bringing all these undertakings to completion. Many new chs. were erected and many new parishes con- stituted, while schs. and religious houses and other institutions were also provided, and visits made to all the Indian missions. He has taken an active interest in promoting im- migration to the newly opened portions of Nipissing and Algoma. His Lordship is neutral in politics, is an ardent admirer of those who work for the advancement of Can. , independent of party interests, and is an opponent of political tricksters and those who strive to place one class against another. He believes in building up in Can. a strong National party for the promotion of a powerful and prosperous Dom.

Goudie, Montreal, in the flour milling busi- ness. On the retirement of Mr. Goudie, 1854, he founded the house of A. W. Ogilvie & Co., grain mer- chants and props, of the Glenora flour mills, Lachine Canal. He retired from the firm, 1874, having previously taken in as partners his two younger bros. , John and William Watson (q.v.), the latter of whom is now the sole owner of the busi- ness. Mr. 0. entered public life as an aid. of Montreal, and was re- turned at Confederation, 1867, to the Quebec Assembly for Montreal West.

OGILVIE, William, surveyor and explorer, is of Scotch-Irish descent, and was b. in Ottawa, Apl. 7, 1844. Ed. in his native city, he was ad- mitted to practice as an Ont. and Dom. Land Surveyor, 1869. Since 1875 he has been in charge of several important surveys for the Dom. Govt., with the view of specially determining the boundary between Can. and Alaska, between Ont. and 782 OGILVIE. Quebec, and between the North - West and B. C. He is now engaged on the Internl. Boundary survey be- tween Can. and Alaska, defining the 141st meridian in the vicinity of the Yukon River. He has also been surveying any mining claims that have been taken up in the Klondyke country. In 1891 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geograph. Soc. , and awarded the Murchison grant by that Soc. "in recognition of his 2 years' continuous explorations in the Mackenzie and Yukon regions of B. N. A. , during which time he made surveys covering » distance of 2700 miles, and gleaned much valuable information regarding the physical geography and products of the country." During this survey he made an exam, of the country on the way from Lake Athabaska, which had never before been trodden by white men, and for no fewer than IS mths. he and his party were entirely be- yond the reach of civilization, with- out a word from home and without any of the comforts associated with human existence. The results of Mr. O.'s explorations are embodied in numerous official reports. He has also given some vivid descrip- tions of his journeyings in a series of articles contributed to the Can. Mag., entitled " In North- Western Wilds" and "Down the Yukon," and in several public lectures. Mr. O. was for 2 yrs. Presdt. of the Dom. Land Surveyors' Assn. In religion, he is a Presb. ; politically, he is neutral in local politics. Thor- oughly British in spirit and aspira- tion, he welcomes every movement having for its object the closer union of all portions of the Empire, and after that, of all mems. of the Anglo- Saxon race.

OGILVIE, William Watson, miller, younger bro. of the Hon. A. W. Ogilvie (q.v.), was b. at Cote St. Michel, Montreal, Feb. 14, 1835. Ed. at the Montreal High Sch. , he, in 1860, entered into partnership with his bros., Alex, and John, as grain merchants and props, of the Glenora flour mills, on the Lachine Canal. Subsequently, they built mills at Goderich, Seaforth and Winnipeg, and more recently a second mill in Montreal, known as the Royal Mills. After the retire- ment of his elder bro. , 1874, and the death of his bro. John, 1888, the entire business fell into the hands of the subject of this notice. The present combined output of his mills is estimated at 8200 bbls. of flour daily, made from 35,000 bush, of wheat, which is supplied from his own elevators in Out. , Man. and the N. W. T. Mr. O. was the pioneer wheat-buyer in Man. He possesses a thorough knowledge of wheat, wheat lands and the production of flour, and he was the first to put into operation in Can. the roller milling process, as well as many other of the latest methods of inven- tion in flour-making. He was on the directorate of the old Dom. Bd. of Trade with the Hon. John Young and the Hon. Thos. White, and others ; has served both on the Coun- cil and on the Bd. of Arbitration of the Montreal Bd. of Trade, and was Presdt. of that body, 1893-94 ; has been a Harbour Comnr. , and was for one or two terms Presdt. of the Corn Exchange. He has served also as Presdt. of the St. Andrew's Soc. At present he is a dir. of the Sailors' Inst, and of the Bank of Montreal, and Presdt. of the Montreal Horticul. Soc. and Provl.

(B.A., 1882; M.A., 1885). On his graduation he took honours in Eng. , Latin, French and German, and was selected to write the graduation poem. His " Profecturi Salutamus," composed for the occasion, was afterwards warmly praised by the poet Whittier. He took a post- graduate course at Syracuse Univ. (Ph.D., 1889), and more recently has studied at Cornell Univ. He entered the teaching profession in 1874, and during the succeeding 9 yrs. held the principalship of some of the leading R. C. Sep. schs. in his native Province. From 1883 to 1888 he held Classical and Modern Language masterships in several leading High schs. of Ont. In 1894 he was elected Presdt. of the Can. Club, Cornell Univ. His fugitive pieces of verse were collected and published in a volume called "A Gate of Flowers" (1887). Since then he has published " In Dream- land, and other Poems" (1893). He has made a special study of Eng., and is regarded as one of the most sympathetic interpreters of Eng. literature in Ont. As a miscellaneous writer he has contributed to a large number of newspapers and mags., including the Toronto Globe, the Can. Monthly, Donahue's Mag., and the Gath. World. Recently, he has come widely into notice as a lecturer, and in that capacity has addressed large audiences both in Can. and the U. S. In religion, a R. C; politi- cally, he is a Lib.

Paternally, he is descended from the old Irish princes of East Brefney, A.D. 611. B. in Hamilton, Ont., June 19, 1846, he was ed. there at private schs., and gradu- ated M.D. at McGill Univ., 1867. Dr. O'R. practised in Hamilton up to the period of his appt. as Med. Supdt. of the Toronto Genl. Hos- pital, Jan., 1876. While in Hamil- ton, he was resident physician of the Hamilton City Hospital, phy- sician to the Bd. of Health, public vaccinator, and Secy. -Treas. of the Med. and Surg. Soc. In 1868 he was gazetted Asst. Surg, to the 1 3th Batt. , V. M. On leaving his native city, he was entertained at a public banquet and presented with a ser- vice of plate by the citizens. A resolution expressing regret at his departure was also adopted by the City Council. Under his super- vision many additions and improve- ments have been carried out in con- nection with the work of the Toronto ORONHYATEKHA. 785 Genl. Hospital. Among the addi- tions to the buildings the most noticeable have been the Lying-in Hospital, the Andrew Mercer Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Pavilion for special abdominal operations, the west wing, and the Nurses' Home. In 1881 the Training Sch. for Nurses was established, with an attendance of half a dozen nurses. This has now grown to an attendance of over threescore. The sch. has turned out a large number of graduates, many of whom are now serving as supdts. in hospitals in Ont. and in foreign countries. Dr. O'R. has always taken an active interest in practical med. education. Through his in- strumentality practical bed - side clinics and oral exams, for the final classes at the Med. Council and in the med achs. were obtained. He has held for many yrs. the office of Clinical 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 oral exams, in Physiol, at the annual exams, of the Med. Council of Ont. In 1882 he presided as Chairman of the Comte. on Ethics at the Ont. Med. Assn. In 1885, at a few hours' notice, he enlisted the services of 15 med. students as surgical dressers for service with the volunteers during the N.-W. campaign, who were known as ' ' The Toronto Genl. Hospital Ambulance Corps." In 1881, through his instrumentality the first ambulance in Can. was presented to the Genl. Hospital, and formed the nucleus of the Ambu- lance service now in use in Toronto. In 1890 the Doctor received the hon. degree of M.D. from Trin. Univ. , in recognition of his services and zeal in promoting and assisting in the practical teaching of the med. students of Ont. At present over 450 students are in attendance at the Toronto Hospital. Dr. O'R., although a young man, has more than a colonial reputation as an authority on hospital work and management. His experience of 29 51 yrs. in hospital life and discipline has been recognized largely in Eng. and the U. S., where his advice is often sought regarding the construc- tion and management of hospitals. In 1891 he was apptd. the hon. representative in Can. of the Royal National Pension Fund for Nurses, which exists under the presidency of H. R. H. the Princess of Wales. In religion, he is an Ang.

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 Wil- 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 number of marks in various subjects of study. For a year after leaving Wilbraham he taught sch. among his own people. His coll. education was begun 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., 1860, Oron- hyatekha, then in his 20th year, was selected by the chiefs of the Six Nations to present an address to the son of their " Great Mother. " The impression he made on the young Prince and his party was so favour- ■ able that Oronhyatekha was invited to continue his studies at Oxford, which he did, under the care of Sir Hy. Acla-nd, the Prince's physician, who was then regius Prof, of Med. at Oxford. As a physician Dr. O. had before him a career that gave 786 OBR — OSLER. every promise of distinction and emolument. He commenced prac- tice at Frankford, Ont., and was elected first Secy, of the Hastings Co. Med. Assn. He removed to London, 1875, and built up an ex- tensive med. practice in that city. It was while living there that he was initiated into the Ind. Order of Foresters. He rose rapidly to the position of Chief Executive of the order, and at the time of the separation, 1881, he was elected to the office of Supreme Chief Ranger, which he has held ever since. His devotion to Forestry, with the ever- increasing demands on his time made by the growth of the order, 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 having execu- tive offices in Toronto, to which city they were removed in 1889, and since then Dr. O.'s official residence has been in that city. Dr. 0. is not only a Forester. He is also a Freemason, of high degree, a Good 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 shooting, and was a mem. of the first Wimbledon team sent from Ont., 1871. At a dinner given to him in London, Sept., 1894, he described himself as being "more than a Brit, subject, for he had the honour to be an ally of Gt. Brit." 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 Can. " He m. 1863, Miss Ellen Hill, a great- granddau. of Capt.

In Aug., 1869, he was apptd. Regr. of the Co. Compton, an office he still holds. A Meth. in religious belief, he has been also a lay preacher in that body. His name, however, is best known in connection with the temp, cause, in association with which he has held high rank and rendered important service.

Simcoe, Ont., June 19, 1839, he was ed. at Barrie Grammar Sch. and at the Rev. A. Hill's private sch., and took the degree of LL.B. at Toronto Univ., 1862. He studied for his profession under the late Wm. Notman, Q.C., Dundas, and afterwards with the Hon. Jas. Patton, Q.C. , and being called to the bar, 1862, practised his profession in Dundas until 1876, when he moved to Hamilton. Apptd. Co. Crown Atty. for Wentworth, May, 1874, he held that office up to Dec, 1880, when he retired there- from, and, in 1882, moved to Toronto as a mem. of the firm of McCarthy, Osier, Hoskin & Creelman. He was created a Q. C. , by the Ont. Govt. , 1876, and had the same honour con- ferred upon him by the Marquis of OSLER. 787 Lome, 1880. He was elected a Bencher of the Law Soc, 1885 (re- elected on every succeeding elec- tion), and became an hon. Lecturer on Criminal Jurisprudence in To- ronto Univ., 1888. He has been also Presdt. of the York Co. Law Assn. Mr. O. has been styled by the Mail and Empire, "The most eminent criminal lawyer in practice in the Dom.," and we fancy there will be few to dispute the title. He has had great experience in both criminal and civil cts. , and his eloquence and ability in cross-examining are now matters of history. He was one of the prosecuting counsel in the State trials at Regina arising out of the Riel rebellion, 1885 ; he was prose- cuting counsel in the Birchall mur- der trial, 1890 ; he was prosecuting counsel in the proceedings against McGreevy and Connolly, in obedi- ence to an order of the Ho. of Com- mons, 1891 ; and more recently he was prosecuting counsel in the Hyams, the Hendershott and the Sternaman murder cases. Most of his work is in the civil cts., his chief briefs there being in contract- ing, corporation, mech. engineer- ing and med. cases. He is an Assoc, of the Can. Soc. of C. E., and he is one of the counsel for the Grand Trunk Ry. He was one of the counsel for the Can. Govt, in the claims brought by the Can. Pac. Ry. Co. for the insufficient construction of the road through B. C, a, case which involved many millions and which took about 250 days' sitting of the Bd. to try, and in which the Govt, substantially succeeded. In religion, he is a mem. of the Ch. of Eng. ; politically, he is Ind., though he ran as a Lib. for Welland at the Dom. g. e. 1882. He is reputed to have declined the Ministership of Justice in the Tupper Admn. , 1896. His present political position was well defined in his speech to the electors of Haldimand, June 9, 1 896. Outside of his profes- sion, he is a dir. of the Ont. Trusts Corporation, and is Presdt. of the Hamilton and Dundas Ry. Co. He m. 1st, 1863, Caroline, dau. of the late Capt. Hy. Smith, H. E. I. C. S.

B. in the Tp. of Tecumseth, Simcoe, Ont., 1845, he was ed. at the Dundas Grammar Sch., and commenced his business career as » elk. in the Bank of Upper Can. After the failure of that institution, he formed, 1867, a partnership with Hy. Pellatt, as money brokers and financial agents. This connection lasted till 1882, when he joined his present partner, H. C. Hammond, in the same business. Not long afterwards, when the late George Laidlaw was projecting his exten- sive ry. schemes in Ont. , Mr. 0. be- came personally interested in them, and did much to promote their suc- cessful completion. This brought him into contact with the ry. world, with the result that he was induced to look after the various interests of Sir Geo. Stephen, now Lord Mount Stephen, in the Can. Pac. Ry. and other roads. Out of these connec- tions grew the construction of the Ont. and Que. Ry., of which co. he was elected Presdt. Subsequently, he was elected a dir. of the Can. Pac. Ry. , an office he still fills. He is also a trustee of Toronto Univ., a dir. of the Trusts Corporation of Ont., of the N.-W. Land Co., and of the B. C. Southern Ry.; V.-P. of the Dom. Bank and Presdt. of the Toronto Ferry Co. He was one of the promoters of the Ont. and Que. Land Co., 1882 ; one of the promot- ers of the Toronto Securities Co., 1883 ; and chief promoter of the Can. Southern Steamboat Co., 1883. Defeated for the Toronto mayoralty 788 OSLER. by R. J. Fleming, 1S92, he was elected V.-P. of the Toronto Bd. of Trade, 1895, and Presdt., 1896. He eat in the 3rd Congress of the Cham- bers of Commerce of the Empire, London, 1896, and at that meeting moved and carried a resolution de- claring that the advantages arising from a closer union of the Empire would justify an arrangement as nearly as possible in the nature of a Zollverein, based upon principles of the freest exchange of commodities within the Empire consistent with the tariff requirements incident to the maintenance of the local govt, of each part of the Empire.

In 1885 he began to write for the younger generation, entering a field which he has made peculiarly his own. His first book, "Bert Lloyd's Boyhood," appeared in Philadelphia, 1887. Since then he has produced in rapid succession a large number of other books, all of which have been well received on both sides of the Atlantic, and have added greatly to his reputation. He has been spoken of by a well-known critic as " probably the most prolific and versatile writer in Can. ," and as " a man of wide reading, thorough information and discrimination. " Among his best known works are : " Up Among the Ice Floes " (1890) ; " The Chore Boy of Camp Kippewa " (1891); "The Wreckers of Sable Island" (do.); "Donald Grant's PACAUD — PAGE. 793 Development" (1892); "Fergus Mc- Tavish " (do. ) ; "Diamond Rook" (1893); "Archie MoKenzie, the Young Nor'- Wester" (1894); "My Strange Rescue" (do.); "In the Wilds of the West Coast" (do.); "The Boy Tramps" (1896); "The Romance of Commerce" (do.) ; " On the World's Roof " (do.); " Baffling the Blockade" (do.); and "In the Swing of the Sea" (1897).

Too long have the cravings of our boys for fiction been met with Am. patriotic tales or extravagant stories of Eng. adven- ture." — Witness. "His latest work will maintain, if not enhance the reputation he has already gained. This distinction is due in part to a lively and attractive style, and to his own .evident interest in the subjects he writes about. He has also an advantage similar to that possessed by Kudyard Kipling for his East Indian stories, in having a peculiar, and almost novel field, which he has been able to make his own." — The Critic, N.

About this time he commenced to write for the press, his contributions consisting of Easter hymns and many fine ballads and poems, some of which have been published under the title (of "A Lover's Diary." In his re- view of this book, Richard H. Stod- dard says that one must look to the Elizabethan lyrists to find poems so full of luscious life as those by Parker. Ill-health compelled him, in 1886, to go to Australia, where, in addition to being associate ed. of v the Sydney Evening Herald, he turned playwright. One of his pieces was an adaptation of Goethe's " Faust," which enjoyed an unpre- cedented run at a local theatre. Another piece was a drama called "The Vendetta."

Removing to Eng., he entered on a regular literary career in that country, at first writing short stories and after- wards undertaking more ambitious works, a dramatic piece from his pen — "The Wedding Day"— being produced in a London theatre. He found acceptance with the public, and has since then issued books in rapid succession. By his work, "Pierre and His People " (1892), he earned the title of "The literary discoverer of the Can.

To this end voters of all parties should feel a deeper sense of responsibility in selecting, steadily supporting and honouring only able and trustworthy men. With this higher standard of public life would naturally come all material good — credit sound, because based on public confidence — enter- prise vigorous without being im- prudent — a larger judgment and wiser action on all national issues. The whole moral tone of the country would be raised, and Canadians would learn to think less of party and more of patriotism." — Princi- pal's Residence, Upper Can. College, Deer Park, Toronto ; National Club. " A Canadian superior to all others as an educationist." — Sir Oliver Mowat. "A man to lead boys and to make men." — Very Rev. Principal Grant. "The only man who has 'stumped' the Brit. Empire." — Pall Mall Gazette. "A fearless public tribune of high inde- pendence ; a fervid Imperialist before it was fashionable." — Star.

PATTERSON, His Honour the Hon. James Colebrooke, Lt.-Gov. of Mani- toba, is the s. of the late Rev. Jas. Patterson, formerly of Kingston, near Dublin. B. at Armagh, Irel., 1839, he was ed. in Dublin, came to Can. , 1 857, and studied law at Wind- sor, Ont. Subsequently, he entered the Can. C. S., and was for some time Private Secy, to W. H. Griffin, lateDepty. Postmaster- Genl. of Can. , but resigning this position returned to the legal profession, was called to the bar, 1876, and became a mem. of a law firm in Windsor, Ont. lie was Reeve of Windsor for about 10 yrs., and became Warden of Essex. Later, he was Inspr. of Schs. , Wind- sor. A Con. in politics, he sat in that interest, for North Essex, in the Legislature from 1874 to 1878, when he resigned, and was returned for the Co. of Essex to the Ho. of Commons. On the division of the county, 1882, he was returned for North Essex, and sat for that constituency until 1891, when he was defeated on the Unre- stricted Reciprocity cry. He was invited by Sir John Abbott to join his Admn., Dec, 1S91, though at the time without a seat in Parlt. After some negotiations, in which Mr. (now Sir) W. R. Meredith and Mr. D' Alton McCarthy took part, Mr. P. finally accepted the invitation, was sworn in as Secy, of State, Jan. 25, 1892, and was a few weeks later elected to the Ho. of Commons for the West Riding of Huron. PATTESON. 807 Upon the retirement of Sir John Abbott he was invited by Sir John Thompson to be a mem. of his Cabi- net, and was made Mr. of Militia and Defence therein, a portfolio he re- tained under Sir Mackenzie Bowell, until Mch. 25, 1S95, when he re- signed, remaining a Minister with- out portfolio until Sept. 2, when he was sworn in as Lt.-Gov. of Man. and Keewatin. As Mr. of Militia he had monuments erected com- memorating some of the battle-fields of Can., and before his retirement from the Govt., had the satisfaction of having these monuments unveiled at Lundy's Lane, Chrysler's Farm andChateauguay. He also negotiated and carried through arrangements with Gt. Brit, for the erection and maintenance of the fortifications at Esquimalt, and secured the services of Imp. troops at that point. This is the first instance in which Can. has contributed her quota to the defence of the Dom. , and has risen to the true conception of the Imp. idea on the question of defence. Although a large expenditure was involved in carrying out this arrangement, no opposition was offered to it in Parlt. , Mr. P. having not only negotiated with the Imp. authorities, but also with the leading members of the Opposition in l J arlt., who approved of the project and loyally permitted the necessary expenditure to go through without criticism, so that the attention of foreign nations might not be unnecessarily attracted to the works. These fortifications, when completed, will prove one of the strongest links in the chain of the defence of the Empire. He also inaugurated a movement for grant- ing long service medals to the mil. force of the Dom. , and paid special attention to the strengthening of our little permanent force, of which he was a strong advocate, sending offrs. and non-commd. offrs. each year to Eng. to be trained along with the Imp. troops, so that the volunteer offrs. attending the various schs. of instruction in Can. might be able to take for models offrs. thoroughly trained and familiar with their duties as understood in the most rigid and exact training schs. in the Brit, army. Mr. P. was identified with the Con. Union of Ontario from the time of its formation, first as V. -P. , and upon the resignation of DAlton McCarthy, as Presdt. In these responsible positions he proved him- self a zealous and skilful party manager, enjoying the confidence not only of the leaders, but also of the rank and file of the party. He was for many yrs. a close personal friend of the late Sir John Macdon- ald, and was one of the few who en- joyed the inner confidence of the Old Chieftain. He has always been a friend to Can. literature, being not without some experiences of his own in that direction. He was one of the founders of the Can. Mag., and is Presdt. of the Ont. Publishing Co. , who are the proprietors of that mag. A mem. of the Ang. Communion, he m.

Patteson, was mas- sacred in the Melanesian Islands, 1872. B. at Patney, Wilts, Eng., Oct. 5, 1836, he was a King's scholar and capt. of his div. at Eton, whence he proceeded to Merton Coll., Ox- ford, where he had won an open postmastership, and graduated in honours in 1858. Coming to Can. 808 PATTON. immediately afterwards, he studied law, first in the office of the late Hon. J. H. Cameron, and, subsequently, in the office of the late Hon. Jas. Cockburn, at Cobourg. He was called to the bar, 1863, and entered into partnership with the late Hon. John Boss. He was apptd. a Comnr. to the Paris Bxpn., 1867, and, in the same year, became Asst. Provl. Secy. for Ont., he being the first to hold that office under the new Constitu- tion. On the establishment of the Mail newspaper by the Con. party, 1872, he resigned his office to take the management of the new organ, and occupied that position till his appt. as Postmaster of Toronto, Feb. 12, 1879. Mr. P. is regarded as a graceful and forcible writer, and during his connection with the Mail wrote largely for its editorial columns, but it was as a special cor- respondent that he first became known to the press: He is the author of numerous anonymous bro- chures, including ' ' The Race for the Mitre" (1866). He has long taken a deep interest in the character and status of the turf in Ont. , and with that view founded the Ont. Jockey Club, a new departure that has been attended with the most desirable results. He is the owner of a large stock farm at Eastwood, where for the last quarter of a century his family has lived, and he himself has been engaged in the raising of short- horn cattle, Shropshire sheep, and horses.

In 1877 he was called to the associate editorship of the Michigan Christian Advocate (Detroit), and became ed.- in-chief of that paper, 1885.

Coming to Am. when 17 yrs. of age, he lived for a time in the southern States, but eventually took up his residence in Ont. , where he engaged in mercantile pursuits. Originally an Episcopalian in relig- ion, he became a Meth. under the spiritual guidance of the late Rev. Dr. Douglas, and, later, studied for the ministry at Victoria Univ., Cobourg, where he had already en- tered in the Arts dept. His period of probation was passed on circuit at Markham and other places, and while at Thorold, 1S61, he was re- ceived into full connection and ordained. His first appt. as a min. was to North St. Ch., London, as asst. to the Rev. Rich. Jones. From there, at the expiration of his term, he was sent to BloorSt. Ch. , Toronto, and associated with the Rev. Dr. Dewart, then at Elm St. Ch. Such was the estimation in which the young clergyman was held that, in 1866, he was chosen to be first pas- tor of a new ch. in Hamilton, to commemorate the centenary of Am. Methodism, and thus became, within the short 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 charge," we are told by Mr. Rose, to whose work on ' ' Can. Biography " we are indebted for nearly all the facts em- braced in this article, ' ' was at first opposed by the Conf. Stationing Comte. ; but their misgivings as to the ability of the young clergyman to fill the ch. soon proved to be groundless, for such were his talents and popu- larity and so forcible was his 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 would 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 accepted that of St. James St. , Montreal, which had been sim- ultaneously placed at his disposal, in succession to his old friend, the Rev. Dr. Douglas. Equal success attended Mr. P. in this his new field, and after a space of 3 yrs. he re- turned to Toronto and was placed in charge of the Metropolitan Ch. in that city, where he rapidly increased the number of the cong. At the close of his ministration there he was again removed to Elm St. Ch. Mr. P. is a staunch supporter of Temp., having first advocated its cause when only 15. He is also con- nected with the Y. M. C. A. and the Bible Soc. He is one of the Dom. representatives on the Internl. Comte. which selects the lessons for Sunday Schs. all over the world. A mem. of the Bd. and Senate of Victoria Univ. , he is likewise a mem. of the Bd. of the Wesl. Theol. Coll., Mont- real, and also a mem. of the comte. which has charge of the publishing interests of the Methodist Ch. In 1878 he was elected the first Presdt. of an assn. which was then formed in Toronto, embracing ministers of all denominations. In July of that year the Wesl. Univ. of Ohio ad- mitted him to the degree of D.D. On the death of Dr. Topp, he was apptd., in 1879, to succeed him as Chairman of the Home for Incur- ables. At the Genl. Conf. of 1886, Dr. P. was elected Genl. Secy, of Edu- cation for the Meth. Ch. , which office he holds at the present time. At the Convocation of Victoria Univ., 1894, the degree of D.D. was con- ferred upon him by the unanimous vote of the Senate. Dr. P. was sta- tioned twice in St. James Ch. , Mont- real, twice in the Metropolitan Ch. , Toronto, and twice in Elm St. Ch , Toronto. Upon many occasions he has been asked to represent Can. Meth. in the U. S. A Meth. of the Methodists, he is a man of the most liberal views ; believing that true religion is hedged in by no sectarian 830 POUSSETTE — POWELL. prejudices, he willingly assists to the utmost of his power all fellow- workers, irrespective of creed, in the service of the Great Master, and cor- dially holds out the right hand of Christian fellowship and brotherly love to all who, like himself, go about doing good and are endeav- ouring to ameliorate the spiritual and temporal condition and welfare of their fellow-men.

Act, 186+, which wrought a great reform in the public sch. sys- tem of N. S.| and was subsequently made Supdt. of Education. His task was for a time an arduous one, for at the first the Act was mis- understood, and consequently unpop- ular. Subsequently, however, all difficulties were overcome, and Mr. R., in 1871, felt free to take up similar work in N". B. , where he had accepted the office of Supdt. of Education for that province.

RAWLINGS, Edward, insurance manager and president, was b. in London, Eng., 1839. Ed. in Eng. and France, he commenced his busi- ness career in the service of the European Life and Guarantee Co. of London, Eng. , Sept. , 1853. Ten yrs. later he was chosen to establish and manage a branch of the co. in Mont- real. This was the first introduc- tion of the system of ' ' guarantee " to the Am. Continent, and the business was naturally of a very slow growth and somewhat difficult to inculcate. Mr.. R. continued to manage the European Co. in Can. until its retirement in 1868, by which time a large and exten- sive clientele and prosperous business had been acquired. The European Co. , which at first confined its busi- ness to guarantee and life, ventured subsequently upon other branches of ins., which proved disastrous, and the cessation of the co. in Eng. re- sulted in the transfer of its Can. guarantee business to the Citizens' Ins. Co. of Can., a local co. , like- wise a mixed one ; but it was, how- ever, the only organization in Can. then prepared to take up the busi- ness. Mr. R. continued for some yrs. in charge of the guarantee branch of the Citizens' Co., but it being evident that the association of other branches of ins. was detri- mental to the interests of guarantee clients, he determined upon the establishment of an independent co. for the transaction solely of guaran- tee business, upon the same lines as the original Guarantee Soc. of Lon- don, which had been in existence for over 45 yrs. , and had witnessed the surrender of numerous inexperienced and over-venturesome competitors. His plan was successfully accom- plished in 1872 by the organization of the Can. Guarantee Co. , now the Guarantee Co. of North Am., whose career from the outset has been one of complete success. In 1873 the co. made its first contract for the 846 RAYMOND — READ. guarantee of the employes of U. S. corporations. It met with such favour that later the co. formally entered the U. S. by making the required deposit of $200,000 with the Ins. Dept. at Albany. It now possesses branches in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, To- ronto and other chief cities of Can. and the U.

BEAD, George, merchant and legislator, is the s. of the late Guy Carleton Read, by his wife, Anna Buell, and was b. in Augusta, Ont. , Aug. 13, 1819. Ed. there, he for many yrs. followed a commercial life. As a volunteer, he served at the battle of the Windmill, Prescott, 1838. He has held a number of local offices, viz., coroner, postmaster, Clk. of the D. O, and Treas. and Clk. of the Tp. of Otonabee, the two latter for » period of 37 yrs. In addition he is one of the oldest magistrates now living in Can., hav- ing been on the Comn. of the Peace for over 40 yrs. He also holds a comn. in the militia.

Ed. at Portora Royal Sch. , Enniskillen, and at Queen's Coll., Belfast, he came to Can., 1S56, and assisted by some friends, established the Montreal Literary Mag. He afterwards be- came connected for a time with the Montreal Gazette, and spent some yrs. in journalism and pri- vate tuition. In 1859 he began the study of law, passing the usual exam., but the head-master- ship of Lachute Acad, becoming vacant, he applied for the posi- tion, which he held for 3 yrs. Through the influence of the late Archdeacon Gilson.'Mr. R. was in- duced to study Theol., and, in 1864, was ordained by the late Dr. Eulford, Metropolitan of Can. After doing duty as a clergyman in the E. T. for some yrs. , he returned to Mont- real, 1868, and took charge of an Ang. paper, at the same time re- taining his connection with the Gazette, to which he had never ceased to contribute. Since then his time has been devoted mainly to journalism. Since 1870 he has been literary and general asst. ed. to the Gazette, giving his leisure to study, and occasional contributions to the 848 READE. mags. In 1870 Mr. R. published a small volume of verse : ' ' The Pro- phecy of Merlin, and other Poems." It was favourably noticed in the press. The late Rev. George Gil- fillan gave it a cordial welcome in the Dundee Advertiser, and in a letter to a friend then visiting Montreal, wrote : ' ' Tell your friend R. that I read his poetry with pleasure. It has very considerable spirit and genius. " The Dublin Univ. Mag. pronounced it "in every way worthy of the Land of the Lakes," The Montreal Witness said it was "one of the prettiest volumes as, perhaps, the sweetest book of fugi- tive poems which has appeared from the Can. press." The Can. Journal of Science, Lit. and History, the Toronto Globe, the Oh. Herald (Toronto), the Can. Hid. News, the N. Y. World, the Can. Lit. Journal, the Week (at a later date), and several other periodicals and papers reviewed it most favourably. The volume was abundantly used for anthologies, birthday - books and reading-books in the U. S. as well as in Can. Longfellow inserted the two poems ("Devenish" and "Kil- lynoogan") in Volume V. (Irel. ) of the series of "Poems of Places," of which he was ed. He likewise wrote a letter of praise to the author, as did also John G. Whittier and Wm. Cullen Bryant. Mr. R.'s translations have been commended by Matthew Arnold, the late ed. of the Eco d'ltalia, the late Hon. P. J. 0. Chauveau, and other scholars. As a prose writer Mr. R. has always cultivated clearness and a certain reserve— giving emphasis to his thought rather by a careful choice of words than by the multi- plication of epithets. He has always refrained from writing on subjects to which he had not given attention. If he had thought less of his rdle as a journalist he would have contrib- uted more to the mags. , but he has always given the first place to the duties that lay nearest at hand. As a reviewer, he has always been conscientious, and many letters from men and women of distinction bear witness to his thoroughness and the soundness of his judgment. Mr. R.'s favourite studies (apart from general literature) are philol., ethnol., hist, and folk-lore. With Prof. Pen- hallow, of McGill Univ., he in- augurated the Montreal branch of the Am. Folk-lore Soc. , of which, as well as of the Eng. Folk-lore Soc, he has long been a mem. He was Presdt. of the Montreal branch in 1894, and has been also Presdt. of the Soc. of Can. Literature, of the Soc. of His- torical Studies, and the Second See. (Eng. Lit. and Hist. ) of the Royal Soc. of Can. In 1877 he was made an hon. mem. of the Lit. and Hist. Soc. of Quebec, and, in 1895, he contributed a sketch of the late Hon. Sir L. H. Laf ontaine, Bart. , to the ' ' Memorial Biographies " of the Historic Geneal. Soc. of New Eng. In 1896 he was . elected a Fellow of the Royal Soc. of Lit. of Gt. Brit. Mr. R.'s more note- worthy contributions to the news- paper and periodical press would, if collected, make several volumes. He has long contemplated 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 comparatively silent, the little volume of 1870 eon- tains but a fragment of Mr. R.'s poetical writings, and, as even that has long been out of print, we may hope that he will ere long give us another book of poems.— $70 Laval Ave., Montreal.

In 1869 he removed to Belfast, but returned to Glasgow shortly after- wards. Here he remained for 7 yrs. , in the employment of Wm. Cross, shawl manufacturer. He came to Can., 1877, and has since then filled a responsible position in the dry goods establishment of Hy. Morgan & Co., Colonial Ho., Montreal. Alex. G. Murdoch, in his "Recent and Liv- ing Scottish Poets," relates that Mr. R. "early discovered a talent for poetical composition, and indulging his fancy in leisure hours, made rapid and distinct progress in the art." Under the nom de plume of "Rob Wanlock," he contributed with much acceptance to local and other journals, and, in 1874, issued a volume under the title, "Moorland Rhymes," which the Scotsman said was filled with musings " of uncom- mon beauty and purity." To this volume Mr. R. has added another : "Poems, Songs and Sonnets" (1894), which has greatly added to his repu- tation.

Being a direct descendant of some of those who were despoiled and expatriated, and having access to much new material on the subject, Mr. R. had a special interest in taking up this " mournful epic.

Law- rence and for his own purposes. "The book," says the Toronto Globe, ' ' is more fascinating and more stirring than a romance. It approaches in length nearly a thou- sand pages, large octavo, and though the author's purpose is anything but to please, the interest intensifies with the theme's progression.

Ed. there, he graduated as a public sch. teacher at the Normal Sch., Toronto. Re- tiring from the teaching profession, he was engaged for some yrs. in journalism, first in Ottawa, and afterwards in Winnipeg. He was for some yrs. a public sch. trustee and an aid. in Ottawa. He has been Presdt. of the St. Andrew's Soc, Winnipeg, and is a Depty. Royal Chief of the Order of the Scottish Clans. He is agent of the Can. Associated Press, Winnipeg. He was apptd. Provl.

ROBERTSON, John Rose, 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 direct descendant of Duncan R. , chief of the clan of Struan Robert- son, 1347. B. in Toronto, Dec. 28, 1841, he was ed. at U. C. Coll., and attended that institution for 7 yrs. In 1 857 , while at the coll. , he occupied his spare hours in learning his trade as a printer. He commenced a small office which he established in his father's house, and from which he issued to the boys at school a paper under the name of the College Times, and also the Boys' Times, a monthly publication that existed 1857-60. He also published during a year at the Model Grammar Sch., the Young Canada. He picked up a genl. knowledge of his business in city offices, and his face was a familiar one in the old Guardian office, the Globe office, the Leader, and that of his friend, Alex. Jacques. In 1861 he equipped a newspaper and job office, and issued the Sporting Life, devoted to athletic sports, and sub- sequently continued the publication of the Grumbler, » weekly satirical paper, at one time edited by W. J. Rattray and Chief- Justice Moss. In 1863-64 he worked on the reportorial and business staff of the Leader, continuing at the same time the management of his printing office. In 1864 he joined the Globe staff, as city ed., and, in 1866, he was one of the founders of the Daily Telegraph, a journal that had a high reputation among the newspapers of Can. dur- ing the 5 yrs. of its existence. It ceased publication, 1872, Mr. R. then proceeding to London, Eng., where for 3 yrs. he acted as resident cor- respondent and business representa- tive of the Toronto Daily Globe. On his return to Can., 1875, he assumed the business management of the Nation, edited by Prof. Goldwin Smith. In 1876 he established the likening Telegram, 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. ROBERTSON. 867 was the earning of his energy, en- thusiasm and experience, reinforced by a persistence and resource that would admit of no failure. It is these qualities that Mr. R. brings to his every undertaking. This has been publicly demonstrated by his Masonic career and his able manage- ment of that great charity — the , Hospital for Sick Children." Mr. R. has held, and still holds, high rank in the Masonic order. After having served successively as Grand Senior Warden, as Dist. Depty. Grand Master and as Depty. Grand Master, he became Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Can. , 1 890, and was subsequently chosen Grand 1st Principal of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Can. He is also Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of Eng. in Can. , having been apptd. to succeed Sir John A. Macdonald in that office on the death of the latter, 1891 ; indeed, every honour at the disposal of his fellow-crafts- men has been accorded him. Mr. R. was Presdt. of the Can. Copyright Assn., 1888-96, and rendered im- portant services in that regard. He is the author of the "History of the Degrees of the Cryptic Rite in Can.," etc. (1888); of the "History of the Knights Templar of Can. from the foundation of the Order to the 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. He 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, fully 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 offrs. for this special dept. But it is as Chairman of the Bd. of Trustees of the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, that he will be most grate- fully remembered. For many yrs. he has carried the chief burden of this important charitable insti- tution, bringing to its needs not only much money of his own, but aiding it with the full force of his powers as a financier and organizer. At Christmas, 1896, he asked for public subscriptions to the hospital through the Telegram, and in a few weeks $15,000 were sub- scribed and paid. At a cost of $30,000 he built and founded, in connection with the Hospital, the Lakeside Home for Little Children, at Lighthouse Point, Toronto Island, with an accommodation for 150 patients and an entire hospital equip- ment. Here during the summer mths. the suffering little ones are won back to health and strength with the aid of the cool breezes which sweep across Lake Ont. This gift has been amplified by further donations amounting to $40,000, a total of $70,000. At the Dom. g. e. 1896, Mr. R. was returned to the Ho. of Commons, for East Toronto, defeating Emerson Coatsworth, the candidate of the Tupper Con. Admn. , by a majority of 1616 votes. He was returned as an Ind. Con. , pledged to oppose any Govt, which would in- terfere with the Man. Sch. question, and pledged to support the "Na- tional Policy," and to vote for the general good of the country. His political career, it is believed, will be a creditable one. Mr. R. is an Orangeman and an adherent of the Presb. Ch. He m. 1st, Maria Louisa, dau. of Edward Earle Mathew Gill- bee, of Barby, Northamptonshire, Eng.

B. in Stuartfield, Aber- deenshire, Scot., Jan. 1, 1820, he completed his education in Sher- brooke, and was for many yrs. a merchant of that city. He was Mayor of Sherbrooke for 18 yrs., Presdt. of the Stanstead and Sher- brooke Mutual Life Ins. Co., Secy.- Treas. of the Co. of Sherbrooke, Presdt. of the Temp. League, Presdt. of the Sherbrooke Agricul. Soc. , and Presdt. of the Quebec Central Ry. Co. Of the latter co. he was the originator. A Con. in politics, he was returned in that interest to the Quebec Assembly, for Sherbrooke, at the union of the Provinces, 1867, and continued to hold the same seat up to his appt. as postmaster of Sherbrooke, Dec, 19, 1892. Mr. R. entered Mr. Chauveau's Cabinet as Provl. Treas., Oct. 25, 1869 (succeed- ing the late Judge Dunkin therein). He held the same office in the De Boucherville, Chapleau and Taillon admns., covering a total period of 11 yrs. and 6 mths., and finally re- tired from office, Jan. 27, 1887. In 1874 he was sent to Eng., to nego- tiate a loan for the Province of $4,000,000. He m. 1870, Mary, dau. of A. G. Woodward, Sher- brooke.— Sherbrooke, P.Q.

His Lordship is descended from the Robertsons of Struan, chiefs of Clan Donnachie. B. at Ancaster, Ont., Jan. 25, 1827, he was ed. at the London and Huron Dist. Grammar schs. and at the Univ. of Toronto. He studied law with the late Hon. J. H. Cameron, Q.C., was admitted an atty., 1849, and called to the bar, 1852. Created a Q.C., by the Earl of Dufferin, 1873, he became a Bencher of the Law Soc, 1874. He commenced the practice of his profession at Dun- das, but soon removed to Hamilton, where he established an extensive and successful business. He was the first Crown Atty. for Went- worth. A Con. in politics, he ran in that interest for the representation of South Wentworth in the Ho. of Commons, at the g. e. 1867, and was defeated by 27 votes. He was re- turned for Hamilton at the g. e. 1878, and throughout his Parliament- ary career, warmly supported the late Sir John Macdonald, more espe- cially in connection with the N. P. , of which he was a staunch advocate, as far back as 1867. He was ele- vated to the bench as a Justice of the High Ct. of Justice, Ont. , Chan- cery Div., Feb. 11, 1887.

He is the s. of John Robertson, a Highland Scotchman, by Emma Rudsdale, his wife, a native of Yorkshire, Eng. His father, who had been a teacher, dying early in life, the s. was brought up and partially ed. in Bathurst. Later, he attended Perth High Sch., and, in 1869, he matriculated, with honours in Classics, Eng. History and French, into Toronto Univ. At graduation, 1873, he won the gold medal in Metaph., Ethics and Civil Polity, silver medal in Math., 1st ROBERTSON. 869 honours in Hist., and Prince of Wales prize for highest standing. Later, he took the degree of LL.B. at Vic- toria Univ. Prom there he passed into the service of the Meteoro- logical Bureau, Toronto, as asst. to the late Prof. Kingston. After a year, he accepted the position of chief math, master and teacher of history in the St. Catharines Coll. Inst. , where he has remained up to the present time. He was for 7 yrs. examr. in Metaph., Ethics, Modern Hist, and Political Science in his Alma Mater. He has acted also as examr. for U. C. Coll. and Mc- Master Univ. He has bestowed much of his leisure to authorship. Besides numerous fugitive articles contributed to the newspaper and periodical press, he has published a ' ' Sketch of Can. Banking and Cur- rency since 1867," with a comparison between Can. Banking and the Am. and Brit, systems; "The Teacher's Relation to the State"; "A Com- parison of the Political Institutions of Can. with those of Gt. Brit, and Irel. , and with those of the U. S. " ; and "The Growth of the Can. Con-, stitution." In 1886, in conjunction with Dr. Birchard, Toronto, he published a " High Sch. Algebra," which is now generally used in High schs. of the Province, and dur- ing the same year, in conjunction with G. M. Adam, he prepared the ' ' Public Sch. History of Eng. and Can. " He and his collaborator, Dr. Birchard, have since issued a ' ' Higher Algebra," which is much used in Ont., and has received high recom- mendations in Germany. In 1891 Mr. R. prepared the " High Sch. History of Eng. and Can." the Eng. portion being an adaptation of Miss Buckley's "History of Eng.," but the Can. history being entirely original work. The work has been accepted over a wide area in Can. Since then he has written ' ' The Public Sch. History of Eng. and Can.," which is now the authorized text-book in Ont., while the Can. portion is authorized in Quebec. He is now engaged in writing a history of Greece and Rome. From the foregoing it will be seen that the line of his studies has been in the direc- tion of Political Science in all its ramifications and history. In 1892 he was apptd. by the Dom. Educa- tional Assn. the Ont. representative on the comte. for securing and re- vising manuscripts dealing with the history of Can. from a Dom. stand- point ; and, in 1895, he was chosen to be the first Presdt. of the Histori- cal Assn. then formed in Toronto, for the purpose primarily of secur- ing the improvement of history teaching in the schs. and colls, of Ont. He is also Presdt. of the Historical Dept. of the Ont. Educa- tional Assn. In 1892 he was an applicant for appt. to the chair of Political Science in Toronto Univ. , and was very strongly recommended for the position. A mem. of the Meth. Ch., he is also a del. to the Genl. Conf. of that body, and is a mem. of the Bd. of Regents and a Senator of Victoria Univ. He has been V.-P. of the Math. Assn. of Ont., and is now V.-P. of the Y.M.C.A. of Ont. and Quebec. In St. Catharines he is Chairman of the Free Library Bd. Politically, Mr. R. is an Ind. Lib.

(B.A. , with 1st rank honours in Math, and Physics, 1863; M.A., 1868 ; LL.D., 1880). " A born edu- cator," he has been engaged in teaching from an early age. He was on the staff of the Provl. Nor- mal and Model Sch. of U. C. for some yrs., and was, subsequently, Head-master of the Central Sch., Brantford, Ont. On the establish- ment of the McGill Normal Sch. , in Montreal, 1857, he became Prof, of Math, therein, and so continued until his appt. as Principal of the institution, July 12, 1883.

Ed. at the Brampton High Sch. , he graduated M . B. (with hon- ours) at Toronto Univ., 1869, his third year being spent in N. Y. , attending the Bellevue Hospital Med. Coll. After graduating, he went to Edinburgh (L.R.C.P. & S.), and thence to London and Paris. Subsequently, he studied in Vienna, for 18 mths. and returning, took up his permanent residence in N. Y., where he has since attained an eminent position, especially as a Pathol. He was Prof, of Histol- ogy and Pathol. Anatomy in the ROBINSON. 871 Women's Med. Coll. of the N. Y. Infirmary for many yra. , and was one of the founders of the N. Y. Poly- clinic, in which, since its foundation, he has been Prof, of Dermat. He is a mem. of the Am. Dermat. Assn.

As an origi- nal investigator in the field of dermat. enquiry, his writings have been numerous and are everywhere highly regarded by the med. profes- sion. His best known work is "A Manual of Dermat." (N. Y., 1886). In 1895 he wrote on a hitherto un- described disease of the skin, and called it "hidrocystoriia." At pres- ent (1898) he is writing on " Cancer of the Skin." Dr. R. devotes him- self exclusively to science, and has no time for politics. He is, however, of the opinion that Can. and the U.

Returning to Can., 1895, she achieved great success in the "Creation," and also whilst abroad, in " Elijah" and the "Mes- siah." In Dec, 1896, she accom- panied Mad.

She inherits her musical gifts from her mother, who was a talented amateur vocalist. — 10 Ross St., Toronto. "A voice clear and true as a bell." — Province. ROBINSON, Maj.-Genl. Charles Walker, Lieut. -Governor and Secy, of Chelsea Hospital, is the 4th and young, s. of the late Chief-Justice Sir J. B. Robinson, Bart. (U. E. L. descent). He was b. at Beverley House, Toronto, Apl. 3, 1836, and received his education at U. C. Coll. and Trinity Univ., Toronto, where he took his degree in 1855, being made a D.C.L. (hem. causd) of the same, 1879. Though orig- inally intended for the army, he had about determined to adopt another career when circumstances combined to confirm his original in- tention. Can. had contributed gen- erously to the Patriotic Fund during the Crimean war, and H. R. H. the Prince Consort was desirous of ac- knowledging it by bestowing a com- mission in his own distinguished regt. , the Rifle Brigade, upon some worthy Can. For many yrs. both the public and private life of U. C. had been dignified and adorned by Sir J. B. Robinson, who, alike by official station and public consent, was regarded as the most eminent subject of the Crown in his province. It was, therefore, a fitting and grace- ful acknowledgment of his un- doubted pre-eminence that this com- mission should have been placed at the disposal of one of the mems. of his family, without purchase, and such having been done, his young, s., under circumstances gratifying to the whole community, began a career which has been watched with interest by all Canadians. Entering 872 ROBINSON. the service in 1857 as 2nd lieut. in the Rifle Brigade, he remained in that corps until 1885. He served with the 2nd Batt. of his regt. dur- ing the Indian mutiny (medal), and throughout the second phase of the Ashanti war, from Dec. 12, 1873, as Brigade Major to the European Brigade, including the battle of Amoaful, battle of Ordahsu, and capture of Coomassie (mentioned in despatches, Bt. of Major, medal with clasp). He served in the Zulu war, 1879, and was present in the engagement at Ulundi (mentioned in despatches, Bt. of Lt. -Col. , medal with clasp). He became a full col. , 1885, and went on half-pay in the following year. His merits have been recognized by the many im- portant staff appts. which he has held. He was for a time Mil. In- structor at Sandhurst, then Asst. Adjt. -Genl. at Aldershot, and Bri- gade Major there. In 1890 he be- came Asst. Mil. Secy, at the Horse Guards. In 1892 he was apptd. to the command of the troops at the Mauritius, carrying with it the tem- porary rank of Maj.-Genl., an appt. all the more popular in the ser- vice, as it saved Col. R. from the operation of the 57 yrs. rule, to which he would have fallen a victim under other circumstances. The Army and Navy Gazette, iu a highly eulogistic article, expressed the satis- faction which was felt in the service that an officer, "zealous, courteous, capable and deserving," should thus escape a regulation which had been disastrous to the hopes and aspira- tions of so many old and deserving officers, and declared that the whole service would regard it as a healthy sign of the encouragement of merit. He returned to Eng. early in 1895 to assume the duties of Lt.-Gov. 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 Duke of Wurtemberg on the system of attack of the Prussian Infy. in the campaign of 1870-71. He was apptd. a C.B., 1887, and was awarded a distinguished service pen- sion, 1896. Gen. R. m. 1884, Margt. Frances, eld. dau. of Genl. Sir Archibald Alison, G. C.

Robinson, C.B., and was b. at Bev- erley House, Toronto, Jan. 21, 1828. He was ed. at U. C. Coll. and King's Coll. , Toronto, afterwards taking an ad eund. degree at Trinity Univ., Toronto. He was called to the bar, 1850, beginning the praptice of his profession in 1852, the two inter- vening yrs. having been spent in travel. Mr. R. was apptd. Reporter to the Ct. of Queen's Bench, 1856, and continued as such until 1872, when the system being changed and assimilated to that of Eng. , he be- came ed. of the "Law Reports.'' In 1885 he was elected a Bencher of the Law Soc. of U. C, and retired from the editorship of the " Re- ports. " For many yrs. he travelled the western circuit, only accepting special retainers elsewhere. De- voting himself exclusively to his profession he has been engaged in many cases of great public interest and importance, notably the case of Whelan, convicted in 1868 of the murder of the Hon. T. D. McGee, M.P., when he argued for the Crown the writ of error after the trial (28 U. C. R. 1). He appeared for the defence in the famous political libel suit of the Queen vs. Wilkin- son, and made the application to the Court to have the late Hon. Geo. Brown convicted for contempt for his attack on the late Sir Adam Wilson (41 U. C. R. 1). In 1884 he argued before the Judicial Comte. of the Privy Council the case for the Dom. Govt, in the arbitration with the Province of Man., respecting the boundaries of that province. In 1885 he was leading counsel for the Crown in the prosecution of Louis Riel, at Regina, for high trea- son, and, iu 1889-90, he represented the Dom. Govt, in the arbitration ROBINSON. 873 with the Can. Pac. Ry., arising out of the construction of that road. In 1890-91 he was senior counsel for the City of Toronto in the arbitra- tion with the Street Ry. Co., which went in appeal to the Privy Council, where Mr. R. argued the case in 1 893. In the long litigation known as Conmee vs. the Can. Pac. Ry., Mr. R. acted for the defence (except while engaged elsewhere). He also appeared before the Privy Council in the important cases of Baldwin vs. Kingston, and Tennant vs. the Union Bank. In 1893 he was re- tained with Sir Chas. Russell, then Atty.-Genl. of Eng.

Upon the conclu- sion of his labours before this tri- bunal, Mr. R. was offered knight- hood for his services, which for pri- vate reasons he respectfully declined. Except in so far as the duties of his profession are concerned, Mr. R. is in no way connected with public life, and is in no sense a public man. It is well known that he has frequently been pressed by Govt, to accept of judicial appts., upon Vacancies arising in various cts. , but he has steadily declined the highest preferment.

During the vacations he attended the summer sch. at Chau- tauqua and elsewhere, under the direction of Or. Harper, in order to perfect himself yet more in these studies. Upon graduating from Princeton Theol. Semy., he was awarded the Fellowship in Old Test, literature, which carries with it an income of |600 and the privilege of spending a year at a foreign univ. in Old Test, study. This was continued to him for a second year, a favour which has been accorded to only one other person. He prosecuted his studies for one year at the Univ. of Berlin, and for one year at Leipsic (Ph.D., 1895). The thesis he presented on this occasion was a defence of the unity of the Book of Zechariah, which has been reprinted. He m. Miss Jessie Patten Lee Harvey, of Cairo, Egypt, before coming home.

Some excitement prevailed in Nfd. , 1886, over a rumour that Sir A. had been apptd. Gov. of that colony, and, no doubt, the appt. would have been unpopular at that time.

B. at Bav View, P.E.I., 1846, he was taken to western Ont. by his parents when about 3 yrs. of age. The family took up land in the Co.

He has been for many yrs. an indefatigable worker in the do- main of Gaelic literature, and has produced collections of poetry, the value of which has been greatly enhanced by the brief accounts he has given of every author respecting whom it was possible to obtain any information. His latest work upon the Peoples and Languages of the World is ethnological in character, in that his treatment of the subject proceeds upon the lines of history and comparative philol., while the bearings of physiol. and geog. are taken into account.

He re- ceived his early education at Eton. On proceeding to Oxford, he first entered as an undergraduate of Christ Ch. , but being elected to a demyship in Magdalen, completed his course in that coll. He gained, in 1842, the Hertford scholarship for Latin, and, in 1845, the scholarship founded by Dean Ireland for Latin and Greek. In the latter year he graduated B.A. as 1st class in Clas- sics, and subsequently, he proceeded to the degree of M.A. He gained the Chancellor's prizes for Latin Verse, 1845 ; for the Latin Essay, 1846 ; and for the Eng.

Hist, at Oxford, and he held that chair till 1866. During the Am. civil war, he became an active champion of the North, and in furtherance of that cause, wrote "Does the Bible Sanc- tion Am. Slavery ?" (1863), " On the Morality of the Emancipation Pro- clamation " (do.), and other pamph- lets on the same subject. In 1864 he visited the U. S. He met every- where with a warm and enthusiastic reception, and had the degree of LL. D. conferred upon him by Brown Univ.

In 1884 he founded the Toronto Week, and was, up to 1887, a frequent contributor to its pages. He now writes for the Farm- ers' Sun, the organ of a farmers' assn. called "The Patrons of Industry." "It was impossible," said Mr. Le Sueur, from whose article on Prof. S. in the N. Y. Sun, 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 journalism throughout the Dom. " Continuing, he observed : ' ' For some time after coming to Can. Prof. S. retained the conviction, SMITH. 949 expressed in his letters on ' The Empire,' that the true destiny of Can. was Ind. A careful study, however, of the relations between Can. and the U. S. led him before long to a different conclusion, and for some yrs. past he has not hesi- tated to declare that Can. is destined to merge her political life in that of the U. S." He has always expressed himself in favour of a moral feder- ation of the Eng. -speaking people. Prof. S. was the 1st Presdt. of the Na- tional Club, Toronto. He was elected Presdt. of the Commercial Union Club, Toronto, 1687. Since then, he has served also as V.-P. of the Can. Land Law Amendment Assn. , as Presdt. of the Mod. Language Assn. , as Chairman of the Loyal and Patriotic Union formed in Can. to aid in defending the integrity of the United Kingdom against Home Rule, as Presdt. of the Lib. Temp. Union (in opposition to the " Scott " Act), and as Chairman of the Citi- zens' Comte., Toronto, composed of citizens at large, having for its object municipal reform, both in elections ■ and in legislation.

In 1897 he was preparing for publica- tion a " Political History of Eng." In 1882, on the formation of the Royal Soc. of Can. , by the Marquis of Lome, Prof. S. was apptd. to a fellowship therein, but resigned shortly after. The degree of D. C. L. was conferred upon him by Oxford, 1882, and that of LL.D. by Prince- ton, 1896. In the same year he declined receiving a similar degree from the Univ. of Toronto, In 1894 the Oxford friends of Prof. S. com- missioned Mr. Grier, of Toronto, to paint a portrait of, him, to be hung on the walls of the Bodleian Library.

MacFarlarw. SPENCEE, Joseph William, geolo- gist, is the s. of Joseph Spencer, Dundas, Ont., by his wife, Eliza Eleanor Coe, and was b. at Dundas, Mch. 26, 1850. Several of his ances- tors were U. E. Loyalists, and he likewise claims descent, on the pa- ternal side, from John Winthrope, 1st Gov. of Mass., and the founder of the city of Boston. He pursued his scientific studies first at McGill Univ. (B.A.Sc, with 1st rank hon- ours in Geol. and Mineral., 1874), and afterwards at Gbttengen Univ. (M.A.; Ph.D., 1877). In the same year, he was elected a Fellow of the Geol. Soc. of London, Eng. He is a Fellow also of the Oeol. Soc. of Am. and of other learned bodies. He was Science Master in Hamilton Coll. Inst., 1877-79; Prof, of Chemistry in King's Coll., N.S., 1880-82 ; Prof, of Geol. in the Univ. of Missouri, 1882-87 ; State Geologist of Georgia, 1888-93 ; and is now (1898) conduct- ing geol. investigations in the West Indies. His observations on the interesting geol. phenomena of his native valley, near Dundas, gave rise to enthusiasm in scientific work at an early age, and from his coll. days to the present time he has been engaged in original geol. researches. After leaving coll. , he was tempor- arily connected with the Geol. Sur- vey of Can., having, in 1874-75, acted as field and office asst. under Dr. Bell, one of the asst. directors (q.v. ). Of his Can. publications, men- tion should be made of "The Geol. of the Region about the Western End of Lake Ontario" {Can. Nat., Vol. X. , Nos. 3 and 4, 1882), supplemented by "Niagara Fossils " (" Trans. St. Louis Acad, of Science," Vol. IV., 1884, with 9 plates), which contains descriptions of about 50 new species SPINNEY — SPROULE. 961 of graptalitea and other fossils of the Niagara formation, found at Hamil- ton. In the same region he com- menced his more important investi- gations, of internl. character, upon the origin and history of the Great Lakes and of Niagara Falls. Many papers on these researches from his pen, dating from 1881 to the present time, have appeared in the publica- tions of the Am. Phil. Soc. , the Royal Soc. of Can. , the Geol. Soc. of Lon- don, the Am. Jour, of Science, the Bulletins of the Geol. Soc. of Am. , etc. These papers and his "Glacial Erosion in Norway " ( " Trans. Royal Soe. of Can. ," 1887), contain the data gathered in the field, which "have been of the highest value in dispel- ling mistaken ideas and leading to true conclusions in questions of the greatest interest and importance " (Prof. T. G. Bonney), as, for example, in the supposed sufficiency of glacial erosion alone, for the creation of lake-basins and other physical fea- tures. The author has been able to restore the outlines of several great river and valley systems of the past, which are now buried beneath the drift or drowned under the waters of the modern lakes ; and he was the first to "solve the mysteries of the origins and the changing episodes of the Great Lakes and Niagara Palls. Estimates of a conjectural character 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 the eastern part of the Am. conti- nent from a table-land elevated 8,000 or 12,000 ft. above the sea ("Recon- struction of the Antillean Continent, ' ' Bull. Geol. Soc. of Am., 1894), and extending across and beyond the present region of the West Indian waters to the recent depression of New Eng., so that only a few small islands were above the oceanic wat- ers, followed by the return of the land to the present elevation. Dr. S. has shown that these changes of level have perhaps occurred within the human period. These complicated problems form "pages in the new history of the continent, inaugurated in a great measure by the author, and they involve some of the most important points in the final theory of the Am. continent" (Prof. J. P. Lesley). They also develop or modify our views of the non-permanency of land and sea, of ocean currents and climatic changes, and of the causes of the distribution 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 analytical and synthetical methodsas his other scientific works. They are embraced in three volumes, published in 1890, '91 and '93. He m. Apl., 1896, Katherine Sinclair, dau. of the late I. M.

After a couple of voyages abroad, taken before the mast in the capacity of a common seaman, he reported for a Toronto daily news- paper for some time ; but feeling, 1886, drawn towards the med, pro- fession, he completed the prescribed course and received the degree of M.D. and CM. from Victoria Univ., 1889, obtaining the degree of M.B. from Toronto Univ. somewhat later, at which time he was also admitted a mem. of the Coll. of P. and S. , Ont. During the last 11 yrs., Dr. S. has been a frequent contributor in prose and poetry to various Am. and Can. periodicals, and through somewhat varied experiences has always had literature uppermost in his mind. In 1894 he won a valu- able prize offered by the N. Y. Observer for a story in a competi- tion open to the world.

Mrs. S. has long been known as one of the leaders in the Woman Suffrage movement.

She was the first woman 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 Presdt. of the Dom.

Sir DONALD ALEXANDER SMITH, 1st Lord, High Commissioner for Can., in London, is the s. of the late Alexander Smith, of Archieston, Morayshire, Scot. B. there, 1820, he received his education at a local sch., and entered the service of the H. B. Co., 1838. He spent 13 yrs. of his life on the Labrador coast, and was afterwards stationed in the Great N.-W., with whose after history and development he had much to do. Promoted step by step through vari- ous positions, he became at length a Chief Factor. Subsequently, he was named Resident Gov. and Chief Comnr. of the Co. in Can., a posi- tion he still holds. As a public man he first came into prominence in connection with the insurrection at the Red River settlement (now in- cluded in- the Province of Man.), 1869 — being, in Dec. of that year, apptd. a Special Comnr. by the Dom. Govt, to enquire into the cir- cumstances thereof. He manifested great tact, prudence and ability in the discharge of the duties of his mission, and for his services received the thanks of the Gov. -Genl. in Coun- cil. In the following year, after the organization of the Province of Man. , he was returned to the Legislature for Winnipeg and St. John. He was also called to the N.-W. Terri- torial Council, and was returned for Selkirk to the Ho. of Commons. In 1874 he resigned his seat in the Legislature, but remained a repre- sentative of the Province at Ottawa up to 1880, when he suffered defeat at a by-election, Mr. S. re-entered the political arena at the g. e. 1887, being then returned to the Ho. of Commons for Montreal West by a majority of 1450. He was re-elected at the g. e. 1891, by a majority of 3706. In Mch., 1896, during the last days of the Bowell Admn. , he served as a del. to the Man. Govt, along with Messrs. Dickey and Des- jardins, in reference to the Sch. question. In Apl. of the same year he retired altogether from political life in Can. , being then apptd. to re- present the Dom. in London, as High Comnr. He was at the same time sworn of the Queen's Privy Council of Can. He was a Comnr. to the Pacific Cable Conf . , London, Nov. , 1896, and also attended the sittings of the Commercial Congress, held there in 1892 and 1896. At the outset of his public career he was a supporter of Sir John Macdonald, but went over to the Liberals at the time of the "Pacific Scandal," 1873. After Sir John Macdonald's return to power, 1878, he gave him an ind. support, principally in connection 976 STRATHCONA AND MOUNT ROYAL. with his fiscal and ry. policy. Although a Free Trader in Eng., and a Protectionist in Can., "he has always sought to free himself from mere partyism." During the existence of the Imp. Federation League, he served as V.-P. of that organization for Quebec. He is now one of the Council of the Brit. Em- pire League. His Lordship's name is indissolubly associated with the history of ry. development in Can. (see Hill, J. J. , and Mount Stephen, Lord); and Sir Chas. Tupper has placed on record his opinion that " the Can. Pac. Ry. would have no existence to-day, notwithstanding all that the Govt, did to support that undertaking, had it not been for the indomitable pluck and energy and determination, both financially and in every other respect, of Sir Donald Smith " {vide speech at St. George's Club, London, Jan., 1897). Mr. J. J. Hill has also said that "the one person to whose efforts and to whose confidence in the growth of our country our success in early ry. development is due, is Sir D. A. Smith" (vide speech at St. Paul, 1893). In acknowledg- ment of his services in this regard, Her Majesty was pleased, in 1886, to create Mr. S. a Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George ; 10 yrs. later he was advanced to a Knight Grand Cross in the same Order (being privately invested by Her Majesty at Windsor Castle); and, in 1897, on the completion of the 60th year of Her reign, the Queen bestowed a further mark of favour upon him by raising him to the Peerage, as Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal, of Glencoe, in the Co. of Argyll, and of Montreal in the Province of Que- bec and Dom. of Can. One of the largest shareholders in the Bank of Montreal, he became V. -P. of that institution, 1882, and Presdt., 1887. Lord S. was early chosen a gov. of the Fraser Inst., and of McGill Univ., and was eleeted Chancellor of the last-named institution, 1889. Of other bodies with which he remains connected may be mentioned tho Trafalgar Inst., of which he is a trustee ; the Sailors' Inst, and the Highland Soc. , of which he is a dir. ; the Royal Coll. Inst. , of which he is a mem. of the Council ; the local branch of the St. John Ambulance Assn., the Montreal Natural Hist. Soc, and the Brit. Assn. for the Advance, of Science, of all of which he is a V.-P.; the Dom. Sanitarium Assn., of which he was a founder, and is now Presdt. ; and the Players' Club, the Christopher Columbus Assn., the Can. National League and the Can. Bankers' Assn., of which he is hon. Presdt. Of indus- trial, commercial, ry. and other simi- lar undertakings with which he has or has had to do, they are almost without number. In Dec, 1897, he was elected Chief of the Cam- anachd Club, of Grantown-on-Spey, Morayshire, and at the same time he accepted the presidency of the London Article Club for 1898. His Lordship has been a most generous patron of art. Together with Lord Mount Stephen, he endowed a Can. scholarship in the Royal Coll. of Music, London, and, subsequently, endowed a second scholarship on his own account. He paid $45,000 for Breton's painting, "The First Communion," the highest price ever paid for a modern picture sold at auction. He has also in his collection, which has been pronounced "the most catholic and abundant" in Can., examples of Raphael, Titian, Turner, Rey- nolds, Gainsborough, Romney, Mil- lais, Rosa Bonheur, Constable, Constant, Alma Tadema, etc. Apart from other considerations, Lord S. will always be gratefully remembered in Can. for his unostentatious priv- ate charities for the relief of the dis- tressed, and his princely munificence in other respects. On the occasion of the Queen's Jubilee, 1887, he, with Lord Mount Stephen, gave a million dollars for the building and endowment of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, which sum was supplemented in 1896 with a further STRATHY. 977 donation of $800,000 for maintenance. To MoGill Univ. , he has given in all at different times, the sum of $406,- 462, made up as follows : Current expenses, $8000; Boodle Library, $200 ; T. D.

B. at Poole, Dorsetshire, Eng., Aug. 13, 1825, he accompanied his father to Can., 1836, and received his educa- tion at the High Sch., Quebec, and under private tutors. He studied for his profession at Bytown, under the late Augustus Keefer, and after- wards at Toronto, under the late Hy. Eccles, Q.C., and was called to the bar, Hilary term, 1849. The future Chief-Justice entered on the practice of his profession in Toronto, where he was in partnership with Hy. Eccles, and afterwards, at dif- ferent times, with the present Chief- Justice Taylor of Man., with Hon. Jas.D. Edgar, now Speaker of the Ho. of Commons, and with John Hoskin, Q.C. From the first he seems to have been drawn toward the Equity branch of the law, and he speedily won distinction therein. In 1856 982 STUART. he was apptd. a mem. of the Comn. for the Consolidation of the Statutes of Can. and of Upper Can. ; in 1860 he was elected a Bencher of the Law Soc. of U. C. ; and, in 1863, he was created a Q. C, by Viscount Monck. On Dec. 27, 1869, he was apptd. to the bench of the Ct. of Chancery as one of the Vice-Chancellors. While sitting in that ct. , he was named a mem. of the Comn. to enquire into the constitution and jurisdiction of the cts. , with a view to the effecting of important legal reforms, and a possible union of the Law and Equity cts. In 1874 he was called to the Ct. of Error and Appeal of Out., and, in the following year, was chosen by Lord Dufferin to become a Puisne Judge in the newly constituted Supreme Ct. of Can. His Lord- ship was promoted to ths Chief- Justiceship of this ct. on the demise of Sir W. J. Ritchie, Dec. 13, 1892, and received the honour of knight- hood, June, 1893. Since then he has upon several occasions filled the office of Depty. Gov., during the absence from the seat of Govt, of the Gov.- Genl. He was apptd. a mem. of the Jl. Comte. of H. M.'s Most Honour- able Privy Council, Jan., 1897, and, proceeding to Eng. , was sworn as a Privy Councillor before the Queen at a council held at Windsor Castle, July 14, 1897. On the following day he took his seat in the Jl. Comte., and sat there for several days. An authority, eminently re- liable, has said of the Chief- Justice of Can., that in the capacity for grasping the vital and substantial points of a case, he has had, and probably has now, no peer, either at the bar or on the bench of Can. There is no keener intellect on the jCan. bench. He is specially dis- tinguished for his knowledge of law as a science and of the principles of jurisprudence generally. His faculty for legal expression and exact phrase- ology is conspicuous. He was elected a mem. of the Council of the Brit. Empire League, 1897. The Chief- Justice is a mem. of the Ch. of Eng.

He believes that the resources of the Province in this respect are cap- able of immensely extended pro- portions. Mr. S. has been a J. P. since 1879, and is an ex-councillor of the town of Truro. He has also been V.-P. of the Mining Soc, and Presdt. of the Gold Mines Assn. of N. S.

He was one of the Crown counsel in the Mercier-Pacaud case, Nov. , 1892, and his speech on the occasion has been pronounced as among the best and most finished displays of the sort ever witnessed in Quebec (vide Quebec Chronicle). Apart from his profession, Mr. S. is much interested in stock-raising, and possesses a fine farm at Quebec well stocked with Jerseys.

Edward, late Bishop of Algoma (Ch. of Eng.), was b. at Lurgan, Irel., Aug. 18, 1832. Ed. at Bandon and Clonmel, he proceeded afterwards to Trinity Coll., Dublin, where he graduated, 1857, being third of the "Respon- dents " for that year. Coming to Can., 1858, he was ordained as dea- con, in that year, and to the priest- hood, 1859, by the Bp. (Cronyn) of Huron. Apptd. mission, in the Tp. of London, he laboured in that field up to 1862, when he became asst. at St. George's, Montreal, to the present Bp. Bond. While there, he estab- lished a reputation for pulpit ora- tory, which led to his appt., in 1868, as Rector of Trinity Ch., Chicago, where he became a great favourite with the large and influential eong. worshipping under him in that par- ish. He was recalled to Montreal, 1878, to take over the rectorship of St. George's, and remained there until his elevation to the episcopate, as 2nd Bp. of Algoma, June 29, 1882. His Lordship was consecrated in Montreal, in that year, by Archbp. Lewis, of Ont., acting for the Metropolitan, assisted by several other prelates, including Bp. Coxe, of N. Y. " The record of Bp. Sulli- SULLIVAN— SULTE. 985 van in the Diocese of Algoma,'' says the Rev. Dr. Mockridge in his " Lives of the Can. Bishops," "is one of singular devotion to duty, with an entire disregard of personal comfort and ease. In a mission, diocese, he was truly » 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 he accepted office the diocese had 16 missionaries, which number had increased in 1895 to 30. But a little more than a year after becom- ing Bp. of Algoma, Dr. S. was elected by a very large majority to the vacant chair of his old Diocese of Huron. His reply ('My duty to Algoma compels me to decline') was characteristic of that zeal and devo- tion which in recent years broke down the vigorous health which had enabled him to achieve marvellous results in his field of labour. Before failing health compelled him to take needed rest, in 1893, 26 new chs. built, 10 others rebuilt, and a roll of 68 chs., all free of debt, was the splendid monument which he had erected." His Lordship went to Europe, 1894, being apptd. by the Col. and Cont. Ch. Soc. chaplain of Christ Ch., Mentone, France, for the winter season. Resuming his labours in Can. , he finally resigned his See on his appt. as Rector of St. James's Ch., Toronto, in succession to Bp. Dumoulin, Nov., 1896. While in Chicago the degree of S.T.D. (Doctor of Sacred Theol. ) was conferred upon him. His Lordship is also a D.C.L. of Lennoxville and Dublin, and a D. D. of Trinity Univ. , Toronto.

Thereafter, he was successively pur- ser on a steamer, book-keeper, and a dealer in clothing. He graduated 986 SUTHERLAND. at the Mil. Sch., Quebec, and was on active service with the volunteers upon 3 occasions during the momen- tous period (1865-66).

Later, Mr. S. assisted in founding La Revue Can. (Montreal), to which he is a contributor to this day. Quite recently he was enter- tained at a banquet given by the proprietors in celebration of the publication in the Revue, of his hun- dredth article. His contributions 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 library. Of separate works from his pen there have been in verse: "Les Lauren - tiennes " (1870), and "Les Chants Nouveaux " (1880) ; and in prose : "Histoire des Trois-Rivieres" (1870); " Melanges d'Histoire et de Littera- ture" (1876); " Le Coin du Feu" (1877); "Chronique Trifluvienne " (1879) ; "La Poesie Francaise au Can."

Joseph Israel, jour- nalist and statesman, is the o. of the late Joseph Tarte, farmer, and a dir. of the Berthier Agricul. Soc. B. at Lanoraie, P.Q., Jan. 11, 1848, he was ed. at L'Assomption Coll., and was admitted to the nota- rial profession, May 3, 1871. After practising at L'Assomption for a short period, he drifted into journal- ism, becoming ed. of Les Laurentides (St. Lin). - Called to Quebec to occupy a similar position on Le Ganadien and L'Evinement, 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, but withdrew before the day of polling. In his address to the electors he de- clared himself "the uncompromis- 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 subsequently, one of the chief organizers of the Con. 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. Belleau, Hon A. R. Angers and others, "in acknowledg- ment 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 close of the Legislature, 1881. Returned to the Ho. of Commons for Montmorency, g. e. 1891, as an Ind. Con., "he," says the Globe, "declared war against the corrupt influences which he knew to be ruling the Quebec end of Sir John Macdonald's Govt." Continuing the narrative of his career at this time, the Globe says : "He had sought to get Sir John to clean out his Cabinet, but had failed, no doubt because the old Premier believed it would break up and destroy his Admn. Mr. T. announced, therefore, that he would go to Ottawa and do in Parlt. what his loyalty to his party had prompted 996 TASCHEBEAU. him to have done in a way to injure the Govt, as little as possible. It was in the early part of the session of 1891 that he launched his first bolt. He set himself at the earliest mo- ment to the mission to which the electors of Montmorency had apptd. him. The proceedings which fol- lowed his motion for an enquiry are remembered by everybody — the crowded sittings of the committee, where opposing partisans and hired lawyers battled throughout 4 torrid summer mths. ; the daily discoveries of fraud ; the life and death fight of the discredited Govt. ; the storm of shame and indignation which swept over the country. The central figure 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. He fought out his fight to a finish, and every Can. who was not blinded by partisanship honoured his courage and determina- tion. He proved his charges, but for that very reason his 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 found that he could no longer work with his old party. He became a follower of Mr. Laurier." Unseated on petition for Montmorency in the early part of 1892, he was returned for L' Islet, 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. 1896, though he himself was defeated in Beauhar- nois where he was a candidate. On the formation of Sir W. Laurier's Cabinet, in the month of July, he was apptd. to the office of Mr. of Public Works — an office he still re- tains. Mr. T. was one of the pro- moters of the Temiscouata Ry., 1885; became a mem. of the perman- ent comte. for the Provl. Agricul. and Industrial Expns., 1887; a dir. of the Quebec Bridge Co. (resigned, 1897); and was apptd. a mem. of the Council of Agricul., P. Q., same year. He was apptd. a mem. of the Internal Economy Comte., Ho. of Commons, 1896. In addition to other political brochures he is the author of " Proces Mercier. Les causes qui Font provoque. Quelques faits pour l'histoire" (1892). For some time up to Sept., 1896, he was ed. of Le Gultivalew (Montreal), which he founded. Since then he has written for La Patrie, of which paper, as well as of Le Cultivatewr, his sons, L. J. and E. Tarte, are now the props. In Sept., 1897, he brought an action for criminal libel against W. A. Grenier, the pub- lisher of a paper called La Libre Parole, securing his conviction and imprisonment. Mr. T. was the only leading politician of the French-Can. race who openly espoused the Imp. Fed. cause. He is in favour of total prohibition of the liquor traffic, "be- lieving drunkenness to be a greater evil than prostitution." He is a mem. of the R. C.

TASCHEREAU, His Eminence Elzear Alexandre, Cardinal Priest of the Roman Catholic Church and Arch- bishop of Quebec, is descended from Thos. Jacques Taschereau, a gentle- man who came to New France from Touraine, France, in the early part of the 17th century, and whose descendants have occupied some of the most prominent positions in the public, judicial and ecclesiastical life of Can. The Cardinal's grand- father was the late Hon. Gabriel Elzear Taschereau, a mom. of the L. C. Legislature, while his father, TASCHEREAU. 997 Hon. Jean Thos. Taschereau, was a Judge of the King's Bench, of the same Province. His mother was Marie, dau. of the Hon. Jean Antoine Panet, first Speaker of the first Assembly elected in the Pro- vince of Quebec. B. at Ste. Marie de la Beauce, P.Q., Feb. 17, 1820, he was ed. at the Quebec Semy. , after which he spent 16 mths. (1836- 37 ) travelling in the United Kingdom, and in Belgium, France and Italy. On his return to Quebec, 1837, he entered the Grand Semy., and, having followed the prescribed course in theol. , was ordained priest in his native parish, Sept. 10, 1842. He remained in the Semy., first as a prof, and after- wards as dir., 29 yrs., and while there compiled several educational works for the use of the students, none of which, however, have been printed. While still discharging his duties at the Semy. , he volunteered for service to attend the sick and dying Irish immigrants at Grosse Isle, during the prevalence of the ship-fever, 1847, and was himself prostrated by the disease. In 1854 the future Cardinal went to Rome, where, after 2 yrs., he took his degree of D.D. In 1860 he was elected Superior of the Semy. , and became ex-officio Rector of Laval Univ., an institution in whose in- terest he afterwards journeyed to Rome on 2 occasions, namely, in 1862 and in 1864. In 1869 he at- tended Archbp. Baillargeon during the sittings of the Vatican Council, as his secy, and theologian. He had previously, in 1862, been apptd. a V.-G. of the Archdiocese. The duties of his several offices he con- tinued to discharge up to the death of his venerated predecessor in the Episcopate, Oct., 1870, when he was chosen as his successor. Dr. T. was duly consecrated in the Basilica of Quebec by the late Most Rev. J. J. Lynch, Archbp. of Toronto, Mch. 19, 1871, and forthwith entered upon his duties. As 16th Archbp. of Quebec, one of his first efforts was directed towards freeing the Coll. at Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere from its financial difficulties. After 7 years' labour, with the assistance of his clergy, whose zeal and generosity in this as in other matters he has always been glad to acknowledge, he succeeded. Soon after his elevation, His Grace went to Montreal as Apos- tolic Del. to enquire into and report upon some unforeseen difficulties arising out of the erection of certain parishes in that city, and, at the end of 1872, he proceeded to Rome with a view of procuring a final settlement thereof. In the same year he founded in Quebec the Hotel- Dieu du Sacr^-Cour, a hospital which has since become of great local bene- fit. He also adopted measures for the reconstruction of the ch. at Ste. Anne de Beaupre\ a shrine which for 250 yrs. has been the Mecca of devout pilgrims seeking restoration of health. In the following year he began the construction of a semy. at Chicoutimi ; in 1874 he took part in the 200th anniversary of the foundation of the Episcopal See of Quebec; in 1873, and, in 1878, he presided at 2 Provl. Councils; in 1879 he enlarged the curric- ulum of the Coll. of Levis, by giving it a classical course. In 1882, and, in 1884, he was again at Rome. On June 7, 1886, he was created a, Cardinal Priest of the Holy Roman Church, with the title of Sainte Marie de la Victoire. His Eminence being the first native of Can. to be elevated to the Sacred Coll., and being a prelate personally popular and beloved by all classes, his appt. was received with great rejoicing throughout the country. He was presented with an address of con- gratulation from the Legislative Assembly of Quebec and the Mayor and City Council of Quebec, and was afterwards feted in that city, in Montreal, Toronto and elsewhere. He received the chapeau from the Pope's hands. Mch. 17, 1887. In Sept., 1894, His Eminence retired from the administration of his dio- cese, and Mgr. Begin, his coadjutor, was apptd. admnr. thereof. One 998 TASCHEREAU. of his latest acts was to sign a peti- tion, with the other archbishops and bishops of his Ch. in Can., praying Parlt. to disallow the Public Schs. Act of Man. and also to redress cer- tain grievances complained of by the Catholics of the N. W. T. on account of the sch. ordinance of 1892.

Some yrs. later, while Principal of the Waterloo Acad. , he published ' ' A History of the Town- ship of Shefford." Subsequently, finding his health too delicate to continue sch. work, he devoted him- self almost entirely to a literary career. Among his latest publica- tions are: "The Frontier School- master," a" volume dealing with the experiences of a teacher's life ; and ' ' The History of Argenteuil and Prescott" (1896), both of which have been most favourably received.

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, and, in 1865, was promoted mangr. of the London branch. While ful- filling the duties of that position, he was 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 Dom. , as well as in Europe and the U. S. Outside of his profession, Mr. T. 's name is well known throughout the 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 fill from time to time, is proof of this. In Montreal he 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 Corate. 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 Presdt. of the Mackay Inst, for Prot. Deaf Mutes and the Blind.

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- pital Jubilee Training Home for Nurses at a cost of $30,000— was car- ried out in 1897, in connection with the celebration of the Queen's Dia- mond Jubilee. In religion, he is an active mem. of the Ch. of Eng., and has been for a lengthened period adel, THOMPSON. 1007 to the Diocesan and Provl. synods of that body. He is also a Freemason of high degree.

Mrs. T. has most ably seconded her husband in his phil- anthropic and beneficent efforts. She was for yrs. Treas. of the Ladies' Benevolent Soc. , and is the 1st Directress of the Mackay Inst. for Deaf Mutes and the Blind.

Pro- ceeding to San Francisco, he drifted into journalism. About this time, in connection with Clay M. Greene, he began to write for the stage, pro- ducing at least 2 successful plays : '* Mliss," for Miss Annie Pixley, and " Sharps and Flats " for Messrs. Robson and Crane. This led him to N. Y., where he eventually re- turned to journalism, securing a position on the N. Y. Tribune. Subsequently, he went to the west- ern States as the representative of the N. Y. Associated Press, with which he remained until 1881. In that year he assisted in founding the Chicago Herald, and was associ- ated with its management till 1883. He then became the leading edi- torial writer on the Daily News. In 1888 he was one of the projec- tors of the late Weekly America, and, for a time, its owner and ed. In 1 892 he became ed. of the Even- ing Journal, then ed. of the Press and Journal, and, in 1896, he was writing for the Evening Post. His most valuable contribution to liter- ature is the collection of periodical and newspaper verse, entitled "The Humbler Poets," which is now in its 5th ed., and seems to have won its place as a standard anthology.

Y., who selected him " as the most capable draughts- man in Am.," to illustrate the birds and mammals for their great ency- clopedic dictionary issued in 10 quarto volumes. More recently he illustrated the 2nd ed. of Mcll- wraith's "Birds of Ont." Mr. T. has contributed articles, with illus- trations by his own hand, to the Century, to Harper's Mag., and to Scribner's Mag. He is also Govt, naturalist to the Province of Man. His work, "The Birds of Manitoba" (Smithsonian Inst., 1891) ; and his "Zool. of Manitoba," published subsequently by the same body, have given him a high reputation among savants. As an artist and painter his specialty is animals and wild life. He is an associate of the Royal Can. Acad., and has exhibited at the Salon Francois. He is also a mem. of the Am. Ornithol. Union.

While on the Globe, he was described as the "best literary critic Can. had pro- duced. " In his new field of labour, John Reade places him among the masters of the art of story-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."

After the "Pacific Scandal" he followed Mackenzie, but is now out of politics. He has always fav- oured Can. ind. of Gt. 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 Gt. Brit., and would be perfectly consistent, as history shows, with either Can. or Gt. Brit, remaining uninvolved in wars in which the other might be engaged. By this plan Canadians could retain the invaluable boon of responsible govt., the monarchical system and all the traditions of their race, and be joined in a peace league, but not in a war league, with the Mother Country. — SOI Columbus Ave., Boston, Mass.

TRAILL, Mrs. Catherine Parr, author, is the dau. of the late Thos. Strickland, of Reydon Hall, Suffolk, Eng. , and is now the only survivor of the five Strickland sisters, all of whom attained distinction in literature. B. in London, Eng., Jan. 9, 1802, she was the first of the sisters to commence writing, and it was the favour with which the young girl's first stories and sketches were received by the Eng. public that led her older sisters to enter the same field. In 1832 she m. Lieut. Thos. Traill, an Orkney gentleman, and immediately emigrated to Can. with him,beingfollowedsoonaftorwardby her sister, Susanna, whose husband, Major Moodie, had been a bro. officer of Lieut. T., in the 21st Fusiliers. The Traills settled near Rice Lake, Ont. , where the family has continued to reside ever since. Here Mrs. T. continued to contribute to the Eng. mags, and carry on her other literary work. Her "Backwoods of Can." was published, 1835, and " The Can. Crusoes, a Tale of the Rice Lake Plains," "The Female Emigrant's. 1018 TRANT. Guide," "Lady Mary and Her Nurse," and "Rambles in the Can. Forest " appeared in subsequent yrs. Among the works of Mrs. T.'s later life are " Pearls and Pebbles, or the Notes of an Old Naturalist," "Cot and Cradle Stories," and "Studies in Plant Life in Can., or Gleanings from Forest, Lake and Plain," the latter with chromo-lithographs from drawings by her nieee, Mrs. B.

Trant, of Leeds, Eng., by his wife, Isabella, dau. of Joseph Hirst, of Dewsbury. B. in Leeds, Mch. 13, 1844, he was ed. chiefly at the Leeds Mech. Inst, (where he occupied the 2nd position in the sch.), and at the Leeds Free Grammar Sch. At this early period he attracted attention by a collection he made and exhibited of the postage stamps of all nations, and he is be- lieved to be the first philatelist. Taken from sch. at 14 yrs. of age, he continued his education at the even- ing classes of the Y.M.C.A., and at 16 competed in the Soc. of Arts Exams. , where he took the highest position in the kingdom in Astron. and the highest for his age in Geom. At this time he founded the Leeds Astron. Soc, which established an observatory under the guidance of Sir John Herschel and Prof. Airy (Astronomer Royal), and which is still in existence. His first employ- ment was as a elk. by the Leeds Con. Assn. He was then 14, and at 16 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 the press dates from 1866, when he became asst. reader on the Yorkshire Post, but an article he wrote on " The Eclipse of the Sun " (his first contribution to the press), attracted much attention, and he became a reporter. In 1869 fie went to London, and became a re- porter on the metropolitan press, also obtaining the prize for an essay on "A Cheerful Disposition," offered by the Assn. for the Education of Adults (founded by the Prince Con- sort). . Mr. T. now began to take part in polities, and became an active mem. of the Education League, founded by Joseph Chamberlain, the present Colonial Secy. On the down- fall of Napoleon, 1871, during the Franco-German war, he was co-del. with Geo. Odger, bearing the con- gratulatory address from the Brit, proletariat to the new French Re- public. They escaped from Paris after it was invested by the German troops, and while bearing the mani- fests from the French Govt, to the people of Eng. were arrested as German spies, but on discovery of their mission were released, and arrived safely in London. Mr. T., however, immediately returned to the seat of war as a special corre- spondent, and was in Paris during the whole of the Commune. On the suppression thereof, his letters hav- ing been intercepted , he was arrested, imprisoned, sentenced to death, and had a narrow escape. On again re- turning to Eng. he became lecturer and Parliamentary organizer for the Financial Reform Assn., and pub- lished a successful book on "Finan- cial Reform. " He also won the £50 prize essay on ' ' Trade Unions," which has gone through 2 editions and has also been published in the U. S. and Australia. In 1874 he was asked to enter the Brit. Ho. of Commons, but having accepted an appt. in India, was unable to offer himself as a candidate, and became special cor- respondent for the Times of India (Bombay). He was present through- out the imbroglio that ended in the deposition of the Gaekwar of Paroda, and was the only "pale-face" allowed TRA VERS — TREN AM A N. 1019 to be present at the native installation of his successor, the present Gaek- war. In India, at the Saburmuttee floods, Mr. T.'s life was again in jeopardy, when trying to swim across a broken culvert to get off his tele- gram, but he was gallantly saved by a ry. fireman, to whom the Royal Humane Soc. of Eng. awarded a medal for his bravery. He next accompanied the Prince of Wales oil his tour throughout India and Ceylon, and received many marks of Royal favour. He was present in Delhi at the proclamation of the Queen as Empress of India. In India, Mr. T. was Govt, lecturer to the Sassoon Inst. , and also founded and ed. the Masonic Standard (Bom- bay), which he relinquished on be- coming ed. of the Madras A thenceum, and in this Presidency was a lieut. in the Madras Volunteer Guards. He returned to Eng., 1879, and became letter and leader writer from the press galleries of the Houses of Parlt., and afterwards ed. of the Huddersfield Nervs, but, 1883, was again in the political world of Lon- don, where he founded the present Radical Federation, over which he presided for 2 yrs. , and under which John Burns may be said to have en- tered public life. He was once again asked to enter Parlt. , but for private reasons declined. Shortly afterwards he was sent on a press mission to France, Spain, Algeria, Morocco, the U. S. of Am. and Mexico, and, 1889, came with his family to the Can. North - West, settling at Cotham, Assa. Here his wonted activity did not desert him. He was chiefly in- strumental in obtaining for Cotham a sch. , a ch. and a post-office. He was a sch. trustee, is a J. P. , and has been requested to stand for the Dom. Ho. of Commons, but has refused. Mr. T. has occupied high positions on many newspapers, and his contri- butions to the leading mags, always attract attention. One, "On the Punishment of Criminals," was thus spoken of by Chief -Justice Coleridge : " You have said, and said well, what all my life I have been trying unsuc- cessfully to say." For a syndicate of Eng. newspapers, Mr. T. wrote his experiences in Can., under the title : "From the Pen to the Plough." In Cassett's Mag. he described life on the plains under the title : ' ' Pick- ings from the Prairie"; he wrote of "Prairie Philosophy" in the West- minster Rev. , and a recent article in the same mag. on "The Treatment of the Can. Indians " has been widely noticed in many countries in both hemispheres. Mr. T. m. 1872, Jane, dau. of Edward Trood, Bridgewater, Eng. —Regina, N. W.T.

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 between 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 material 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. takes first place in the roll-call."

B. at Amherst, N.S., July 2, 1821, he was ed. at Horton Acad., and grad- uated M.D. at Edinburgh Univ., 1843. In the same year he was admitted a mem. of the Royal Coll. of Surg., Edinburgh. 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 the local Assembly as mem. for Cumberland. The unsuccessful candidate was no less a person than the late Hon. Joseph Howe, then leader of the Lib. party in N. S. , and afterwards Lt. -Gov. 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 adopt a new, a more progressive and a more lib. policy. It is also recorded of him that, "like Disraeli, 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 effect 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 till 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 Dom. of Can. he bore a conspicuous part, attending the Charlottetown and Quebec Confs. and afterwards going to Eng. , 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 Dom. 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, June, 1870, taking the office of Presdt. of the Council. Transferred to the Dept. of Inl. Revenue, July, 1872, he succeeded Sir Leonard Tilley, as Mr. of Customs, in the early portion of 1873, and he was still holding 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 Govt. 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' Canal, 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 Comnr. for Can. In the early part of the last-named year, as the general elec- tions approached, he was invited by Sir John Macdonald to return to Can. He again entered the Govt, and was Mr. of Finance therein up to May, 1888, when he resigned that office and resumed duty in London as High Comnr. In Jan., 1896, he entered the Bowell Admn. as Secy, of State and leader of the Ho. of Commons, and on the retirement of Sir M. Bowell, 4 mths. afterwards, succeeded him as Prime Minister of Can.

" The two aims he has always kept in view, as a loyal subject to his Queen, and as a jealous guardian of the honour of his people, have been the strength- ening of the golden link which con- nects Eng. with the first and greatest of her colonies, and the holding aloft of the standard of right of the nation, so that she may prove herself worthy of the proud position she has made her own."

His ability was always admitted, and it is but fair to say that defeat has dis- closed courage equal to his ability." — Toronto Telegram. "A man with great force of character, and without exception the strongest debater in the Dom., he has exercised an influence on public affairs second only to that of Sir John Macdonald." — Hamilton Spectator, 1888. "He did all that a leader could during the contest of 1896, and really exerted him- self in a manner hardly short of wonderful. He is the man whom experience, length of service and capacity pointed to as best fitted to be leader of the Opposition." — Gazette. TUPPER, Hon. Sir Charles Hibbert, statesman, 2nd s. of the preceding, was b. at Amherst, N.S., Aug. 3, 1855. He received his education at Windsor Acad, and at McGill Univ. , Montreal, where he won the Gov.- GenL's scholarship. He graduated LL.B., at Harvard Univ., 1876, and 2 yrs. later was called to the bar of N. S. He was created a Q. C, by the Earl of Derby, 1890, was called to the Ont. bar, 1895, and was elected a mem. of the Ex. Council of the Can. Bar Assn., 1896. He prac- tised his profession at Halifax, in partnership first with the present Chief- Justice of N. S., and, subse- quently, with the late Sir John Thompson and the present Mr. Justice Graham. In Oct., 1897, he removed to B. C. as a mem. of the legal firm of Peters, Tupper & Cassidy, having offices at Victoria, Vancouver and New Westminster. Elected Presdt. of the Junior Lib.- Con. Assn. of Halifax, 1878, he was returned to the Ho. of Commons, as one of the mems. for Pictou, at the g. e. 1882, by a majority of 284 over Mr. Carmichael, the Lib. candidate. In 1883 he moved the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne. At the g. e. 1887 he was re-elected for Pictou by a majority of 595 votes ; at the g. e. 1891 his ma- jority was 725 votes, and at the g. e. 1896 his majority was 288. He entered Sir John Macdonald's Cabi- net as Mr. of Marine and Fish- eries, May 31, 1888, and continued to hold that office under the two succeeding prime ministers, Sir John Abbott and Sir John Thompson, up to the death of the latter, Dec. 12, 1894. On the formation of the Bowell Admn., the same month, he became Mr. of Justice and Atty. - Genl. therein. In his father's short- lived Admn., 1896, he was Solr.- Genl. During 1891 he was selected to assist the Brit. Ambassador at Washington in the discussion of regulations respecting fur seals ; and, in June, 1892, he was chosen to represent H. M. as agent for Gt. Brit, in the Behring Sea Arbitra- tion which met at Paris, Feb. , 1 893. The unremitting zeal and ability displayed by him in the preparation of the case elicited the warm ac- knowledgments of H. M.'s Govt., and led to his appt. as a Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. It is sel- dom that such a compliment has been paid to any servant of the Crown as was contained in the fol- lowing message from Lord Ripon, the then Secy, of State for the Col- onies, to the then Gov. -Genl. of Can.: "Without waiting the offi- cial text of arbitration award, I will not delay congratulations to Can. upon Tupper's success as British agent, in asserting the freedom of the sea, and in maintaining the legal rights of Canadian ships." As Mr. of Marine and Fisheries he carried through Parlt. several measures of importance to the mercantile and shipping classes, chief among which was an Act providing for the further security, health and safe transporta- tion of cattle from Can. to ports across the Atlantic ; an Act provid- TUPPER — TURCOTTE. 1027 ing for the marking of deck load lines ; an Act providing for the hulls and equipment of sailing vessels be- ing kept in a good sea-worthy condi- tion ; an Act to amend the Safety of Ships Act ; and an Act for the amendment of the Steamboat In- spection Act. As Mr. of Justice, he had to do more particularly with the Man. Sch. question, and his re- port on the petition of the Cath. minority in regard to separate schs. and the 0. C. baaed thereon, were regarded by his party friends and others as State papers of exceptional merit. It should be mentioned that he was one of the comnrs. apptd. in 1892 to meet a delegation of Nfd. ministers at Halifax, with a view of arranging a settlement of the mat- ters in dispute between the Dom. and the colony, and that in Jan., 1895, he declined appt. as High Comnr. for Can. in London.

He was ed. at a private sch., and then at a High Sch., both in the above village. In 1880 he entered the Sch. of Practical Science, Toronto, where he took a course in Civil Engrg., graduating 1883. In 1885 he ob- tained his diploma of P.L.S.; in 1887 that of D.L.S.; and, in 1S89, was granted the degree of C.E. by the Univ. of Toronto. In 1883, 1884 and 1885 he was engaged as Topog- rapher on the Geol. Survey of Can., during which yrs. he made a survey of the Lake of the Woods with its 3000 islands. In the spring of the latter year he joined the Hudson Bay Expedition under the late Com- mander Gordon, and during the summers of 1885 and 1886, he acted as hydrographer on the D. S. S. Alert, in the survey of Hudson Bay and Straits, while the intervening winter was spent taking meteorol. and tidal observations at Ashe Inlet on the north side of Hudson Strait, and making a survey of the sur- rounding coast. All the maps of this expedition were prepared by him either on board the Alert, or in Toronto during the succeeding winter. In 1887 and 1888 he was engaged as one of the engrs. on the Maine Internl. Ry. while that road was under construction. In the 1032 TYRRELL — TYRWHITT. autumn of the latter year he settled in Hamilton, Ont., to practise as a Civil and Sanitary Engr. and Land Surveyor. In the spring of 1S93 he accompanied his brother, J. B. Tyrrell, as Topographer and Eskimo Interpreter on the expedition from Lake Athabasca through the Barren Lands to Chesterfield Inlet, already described. He published, 1897, "Across the Sub- Arctics of Can.," the narrative of this exploratory journey. He m. June, 1890, Miss Isabel Macdonald. — Hamilton, Ont. TYRRELL, Joseph Burr, geologist and explorer, bro. of the two pre- ceding, was b. at Weston, Ont. , Nov. 1, 1858. He was ed. at Weston High Sch., at U. C. Coll., and at the Univ. of Toronto (B.A., 1880; M. A., 1889). In the latter year he also received the degree of B.Sc. from Victoria Univ. He was apptd. to the staff of the Can. Geol. Survey as an explorer, Aug., 1881. In this capacity he accompanied Dr. G. M. Dawson, 1883, on his exploration of the Rocky Mountains, and, in 1884, began the exploration of the country lying north of Calgary between the Bow and Saskatchewan rivers. This occupied 3 yrs., and the report on it, with 2 maps, was published 1888, by the Geol. Survey. The yrs. 1887-8-9 were spent ex- ploring N.-W. Man.; 1890-91, on and around Lake Winnipeg ; and 1892 in the previously unexplored region south-east of Lake Atha- baska. In 1893 he crossed the Barren Grounds from Lake Atha- baska to Chesterfield Inlet, and came down the west shore of Hud- son Bay in canoes, travelling in all 3200 miles, 1650 of which were previously unsurveyed or not re- ported on in any way. On this oocasion Mr. T. walked on snow- shoes from Churchill to the north end of Lake Winnipeg, a distance of 600 miles. He was absent about 8 mths. In 1894 he again crossed the Barren Lands, on this occasion travelling from the north end of Reindeer Lake to the west coast of Hudson Bay, reaching it about 200 miles south-west of Chesterfield Inlet ; thence he followed the coast in canoes to Churchill. After the winter had set in, he travelled over- land, via Split Lake and Norway House, to Selkirk, at the south end of Lake Winnipeg. He was absent 6 mths. and 22 days, during which time he had travelled 2900 miles, 1750 of which were in canoes and 725 on snowshoes, most of this dis- tance being through unexplored country. In 1895 he explored some of the rivers in the little-known country lying north-east^ of Lake Winnipeg. Reports of Mr. T.'s various journeys and explorations are embodied in the official reports of the survey. In addition, he has published numerous papers on scien- tific subjects in the Am. Jour, of Science, the Am. Geologist, the Bulletin of the Am. Geol. Soc, the Can. Record of Science, the Geo- graphical Jour., the Geological Mag., Science, the "Proceed, of the Royal Geog. Soc," the "Trans, of the Can. Inst.," etc. The latest of his published papers is one on "The Topographical Work of the Geol. Survey of Can." He was elected a F. G. S., 1882, and, in 1896, was awarded the Back Grant by the Royal Geog. Soc. Since July, 1891, Mr. T. has ranked as a Geologist in the Dept. of the Geol. Survey.

In addition to being a Con., he is an Imperial Federa- tionist. He was one of the " Noble 13 " who opposed Mercier's Jesuits' Estates bill, 1889, and frequently acts and votes independently of his party. He voted against the ex- penditure connected with Sir John Thompson's funeral, 1895. He was also opposed to any interference by the Dom. Govt, with the Man. Sch. Act of 1890, being of opinion that if any remedial legislation were necessary in the premises, it should be provided by the local Legislature rather than by the Federal Parlt.

Brandram Boileau (Ref . Ep. Ch.), was b. in the city of Dublin, Irel., Aug. 6, 1845. The youngest of the family, he came to N. Y. City, 1863. He is the s. of Capt. Richard Beverly Ussher, late H. M.'s 86th Regt. , who was descend- ed directly from Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, "the King-maker." For political reasons one of the Neville family, holding the office of Usher of the Black Rod, exchanged his name for that of his office, and in the reign of King John, the second "s" was added to the name, to dis- tinguish it as a family name from the office in which it originated. Bp. U. comes from a distinguished line of churchmen headed by the 2 great archbps., James, Archbp. of Armagh and Lord Primate of Irel., and Henry Ussher, Lord Archbp. of Armagh and also Primate of Irel. Ed. as a boy at the celebrated Dr. Daniel Flynn's sch. , the " Rugby " of Irel. , he passed from there to Delgany Coll. , Co. Wicklow, from which in- stitution he entered the Royal Dub- lin Soc. at 16, taking the competi- tion exam, and securing the diploma and sixth place out of 76 successful candidates. Financial losses coming upon his father, young U. was unable to continue his scholastic 1034 VAIL. career, and at the age of 18 decided to visit the U. S. Adopting the med. profession, he studied at the Univ. of Michigan, but lacking means, was obliged to defer taking his degree, which he afterwards at- tained by passing his exams, before the Bd. of the State of Illinois Eel. Med. Soc. He finally pursued 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 practitioner of med., holding high positions amongst his med. confreres in the U. S. , and ob- taining a large and lucrative prac- tice. His heart, however, was in another sphere of work, and he abandoned med. for the Ch. He was a candidate for orders in the diocese of Bp. Henry J. Whitehouse, D.D., of the Protestant Ep. Ch. in 111., under whose 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 his way to proceed with his ordination in the Prot. Epis. Ch. , much to Bp. White- house's regret, that prelate offering him many inducements to remain; but on June 9, 1874, Dr. U. was or- dained the 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- tawa, July 16. He became Rector of Christ Ch., Toronto, and, in 1878, Rector of St. Bartholomew's Ch., Montreal, where he remained for 1 1 yrs. During his incumbency of St. Bartholomew, he was elected bp. by the Can. Synod of the Reformed Epis. Ch. , having 2 yrs. previously been elected to the same office by the Genl. Synod in Eng., and de- clined to be consecrated at that time. Finally, after being 8 yrs. in charge of the Diocese of Can. and Nfd. , the Ch. in the U. S. was very desirous that he should plant the R, E. Ch. in the Missouri valley, which he did successfully at Kansas City, Missouri. He is now Rector of Christ Ch. , Peoria, 111. , the oldest of the denomination in the U. S. and in the second largest city of 111. Still Bp. of the Ch. in Eng., he has preferred to remain without any episcopal diocese in the U. S., as he will ultimately return to Eng.

Oliver Arnold, formerly of Conn., U.S., and subsequently, Rec- tor of Sussex ; and the grands, of Robert Vail, a U. E. Loyalist, who came to N. B. at the close of the Am. revolutionary war. B. at Sus- sex, N.B., Dec. 19, 1825, he was ed. there and at the Kingston Gram- mar Sch. He entered Can. public life, 1867, as one of the represen- tatives for Digby in the N. S. As- sembly. He was then a Con., but left that party and joined the Lib- erals on the refusal of the former to submit the terms of union with Can. for the approval of the electors. Joining the Annand Govt., as Provl. Secy., he became leader of the Govt, in the Assembly, and continued in those positions up to Sept., 1874, when he joined the Mackenzie Govt. , at Ottawa, as Mr. of Militia and De- fence, being then returned for Digby to the Ho. of Commons. He con- tinued in the latter chamber up to the close of the 3rd Parlt., 1878, when he declined nomination. He was again elected to the Ho. of Commons, g. e. 1882, and sat there until g. e. 1887, being then defeated by the late John Campbell. Mr. V,'s opposition to union with Can. VALIN — VAN DEB. SMISSEN. 1035 was withdrawn after the submission of the. " better terms" granted by- Sir John Macdonald. From that time he threw the weight of his influence in favour of Confederation, and the ultimate acceptance of the scheme by the Legislature was largely due, as has been acknow- ledged, to his loyalty, tact and popularity. Among the various public measures which Mr. V. in- troduced and carried through the Provl. Legislature, while a mem. of that body, were : The Ballot Act for the election of mems. to the Ho. of Assembly; the Yarmouth and Annapolis Ry. Act; the Eastern Extension Ry. Act, for building a line from New Glasgow to the Strait of Canso ; and an Act for establish- ing co. cts. in the Province. He was the first mem. of the Ho. of Commons to .be elected under the Dom. Ballot Act. As a depart- mental chief at Ottawa, perhaps his most important achievement was the putting into operation the Act establishing the Royal Mil. Coll. , at Kingston. He took the greatest interest in the undertaking, and gave much of his time to a per- sonal supervision of the plans and works connected with the coll. buildings. He had also much to do with the selection of a suitable staff of officers to take charge of thj new institution. Mr. V.'s latest official act was to serve as a del. to Eng., 1882, for the N S. Govt., in connection with the construction of the Western Counties Ry. Co. On that occasion he was given the requisite authority to sign Provl. bonds to the extent of 5 million dollars. He is Lt.-Col. of the 2nd Regt. Digby Militia. An Ang. in religion, he is also a del. to the Diocesan and Provl. synods of the Ch. He m. Charlotte Leslie, eld. dau. of Chas.

Prof. V. was also Librarian of the Univ., 1873-91. He was elected Presdt. of the Can. Inst., 1886; Presdt. of the Ont. Modern Language Assn. , same year ; and a mem. of the Univ. Senate, 1892. He is the author of a gram- mar of the German language, and has ed. several German text-books for High schs. While a student he entered the mil. service of Can., and was present with the " Queen's Own " at the engagement with the Fenians at Ridgeway, June 2, 1866, where he was severely wounded.

VAN HORNE, Sir Willi am Cornelius, President' Canadian Pacific By., is the a. of the late Cornelius Caven- hoven Van Home, a lawyer, who was the descendant of one of the old patron families of New Amsterdam, now the city of New York. B. near Joliette, 111., Feb. 3, 1843, he was in his 14th year forced, by the death of his father, to find employment in order to provide for the wants of the other members of the family. He began at the foot of the ladder as office boy at the ry. station in his native town. Later, he became a telegraph operator on the 111. Cen- tral By., and, in 1858, joined the Michigan Central By. Co. Here he served in various capacities till he reached the age of 21, when he ac- cepted an appt. as ticket agent and telegraph operator on the Chicago and Alton By. He was afterwards for 3 yrs. train despatcher, 1 year Supdt. of the Telegraph, and 3 yrs. Div. Supdt. on this road. Bising in the service as his merits became more widely known, he was, in 1872, offered the position of Genl. Supdt. of the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern By. From there he went in 1874 to the Southern Minnesota By., as its Genl. Mangr. The line was then in the hands of a receiver, but he quickly extricated it from its financial difficulties, and by ex- tending and improving the property placed it in its present prosperous condition. His success was rewarded by his elevation to the presidency of the co. In 1878 he returned to the Chicago and Alton By., and ac- cepted the position of Genl. Supdt. of the line, at the same time retain- ing the presidency of the Southern Minn. Two yrs. later he was called to the position of Genl. Supdt. of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul By., at that time the most ex- tensive ry. in the U. S. , with more than 5000 miles of track in Iowa, Wis., the Dakotas, Minn, and Mis- souri, and 316 miles in 111., from Chicago west to the Mississippi, and north into Wis. He entered upon this office, Jan, 1, 1880, only to re- linquish it in the following year, when he was selected by the direc- tors of the Can. Pax;. By. to take control as Gehl. Mangr. of what was then projected, and has since be- come, the greatest ry. organization in the world. The last rail was laid in the transcontinental line of ry. 54 mths. after the work of construc- tion was commenced by the co., and in much less than half the time re- quired by the contract between the Govt, and the co. The system built up by the co. during the 18 yrs. of its existence embraces 9000 miles of ry., extending almost everywhere in the Dom. and through 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 its activities, and imparts a character of absolute business perfection to all its ramifications, who even in his dreams may be said to work out its future still more wonderful destiny, is Sir W. C. Van Home, who, from a poor boy, has risen to the proud eminence he occupies by 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 office ; and on the retirement of Lord Mount Stephen, Sept., 1888, he became Presdt. , which office he still retains. In reviewing the history of the Can. Pac. By., the Montreal Gazette 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, " but," it adds, "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 possibilities 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, and his keen and accurate appreciation of the importance of speed in construe- VAN HORNE. 1037 tion, perhaps somewhat on the principle that nothing succeeds like success, contributed in an important degree to the triumphs which the Can. Pac. Co. has achieved. No one more than he realized the necessity of subsidiary lines and adjuncts in the shape of steamship services if the ry. when constructed was to prove a profitable financial under- taking, and to his prescience may be attributed the acquisition and construction of the branch lines, feeders and auxiliary railways throughout the Dom. , as well as in the North-Western States which furnish so material a traffic to the main line, and thereby ensure a per- manence of prosperity as well as of that independence so essential in the conception and execution of the policy of the road. If, in its be- ginning, the Can. Pac. Ry. was re- garded merely as an effort to throw a band of steel across the continent, and so fulfil the compact upon which B. C. had entered the Confederation, under Sir Wm. Van Home's admn. , the scheme quickly assumed a much more pretentious and important scope. In every detail, in point of facilities 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 leading ry. enterprises not only of the continent, but of the world. The establishment of a steamship service on the Pacific, giving direct connection with China and Japan, and, later on, of a steamship service to Australia, were accomplishments attributable largely to the enterprise and foresight of the Presdt., whose busy brain never ceases from seeking out and utilizing every avenue through which traffic can profitably be attracted to the ry., and the trade and industry of Can. be pro- moted. " So closely has Sir Wm. Van Home been identified with the remarkable success of the Can. Pac. that from no aspect of its achievement can he be dissociated. The notable financial prosperity of the company is attributable in large part to the ability of his management, and the high credit which the enterprise has attained has had no more striking illustration than the fact that the guarantee of the Can. Pac. has been deemed in the money market of London conclusive evidence of the soundness of the securities of sub- sidiary and allied lines. That is, perhaps, the highest evidence pos- sible to afford of the confidence entertained by capitalists in the judgment and ability of Sir Wm. Van Home." Continuing, the Ga- zette remarks : ' ' From his earliest association with the co. he has closely connected himself with Can. affairs. No more earnest or more zealous work for the advancement of the welfare and prosperity of the Dom. 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. resources, the extension of Can. trade, the main- tenance of Can. autonomy, the up- building of Can. institutions and industries, and the cultivation of intercl. and imperial trade. From the moment he undertook the re- sponsible and formidable 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 Dom. , form- ing all his attachments with his adopted country, and proving him- self one of the most enterprising and patriotic of her citizens." In addi- tion to other positions filled by him, he is a dir. of the Postal Telegraph Cable Co. and of the Commercial Cable Co., V.-P. of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Ry. Co., and Presdt. of the N.-W. Land Co. and of the B. C. Southern Ry. Co. He is also a mem. of the Comte. of Management of the Montreal Homoeop. Hospital, a gov. of the Royal Victoria Hospital, a gov. of McGill Univ., V.-P. of the Art Assn. of Montreal, and V.-P. of the St. John Ambulance Assn. In May, 1894, he was created a 1038 VANIER — VANKOUGHNET. K.C.M.G. (hon.) by Her Majesty, in acknowledgment of his distin- guished public services. In religion, he may be called a Prot. Politically, he has summed up the needs of the country as follows : 1st, a vigorous immigration policy, to be carried out by a special comn. ; 2nd, a 1st class Atlantic mail and passenger steam- ship service ; 3rd, the protection of the interests of the Dom. in the mining dists. of Southern B.

In these capacities Dr. W. has been able to render valuable and efficient service, both in regard to the fisheries and towards enforcing obedience to the customs and revenue laws and regu- lations of the country. His know- ledge and experience in the fisheries service led, doubtless, to his selec- tion, in 1893, to be H. M.'s Comnr., under the agreement with the U. S. , for enquiring into the preservation of the fisheries in waters contiguous to Can. and the U. S. of Am. In this duty he was engaged, conjointly with the Am. Comnr., R. Rathbun, from the date of his appt. up to Jan., 1897, when the report of the Comn. was presented to both Govts. The field of enquiry extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Dr. W.'s latest duty consisted in his appt. to the command of the Diana expdn. sent to Hudson Bay, 1897, for the purpose of determining the feasibility of that route as an outlet for the N. W.

Govt, was such that it seemed as if the construction of the road had been abandoned or indefinitely postponed, and it was largely owing to the perseverance of Mr. W.'s Govt, that the line was at length proceeded with. In 1SS1 he com- piled a new code of Supreme Ct. procedure for which he received the thanks of the Law Soc, and, in 1887, he was a comnr. , with Judges Crease and Drake, to frame a new code of rules of practice for the Supreme Ct.

In addition to his labours in connection with the institution whose 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 the Can. Parlt., he was chosen by the banks of Ont. as their chief spokesman, and in that capacity, impressed upon the Govt, the danger of certain features which they contemplated imposing upon the measure.

Banking in "A History of Banking in all the Leading Nations" (1896); "Why Can. is against Bi- metallism" (1897); and a series of papers on "Early Italian Art." Politically, a Lib. ; in religion, he is a Presb. He is of opinion that "we should discuss less such subjects as Imp. Federation, or better trade relations with the IT. 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 the public expenditure, consistent with efficiency. We spend too much money, both publicly and privately. The better class of men not satis- factorily employed, should be en- couraged to take up free grant lands, and the Dom. Govt, should open throughout Gt. 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 Can. which requires us to seek new roads to success. We have merely halted after over-exertion, and will resume our march when, through the needed rest, we have acquired fresh energy. " He m. 1874, Mary, dau. of Alex.

An exhibition of 30 of his pictures was given at the new Cottier Galleries, 34th St., N. Y., 1897. He is de- scribed in the N. Y. Collector as a painter of the pasture and the farm, and that he paints them very much in the feeling of a Troyon, on one hand, and a Mauve on the other. One of his pictures, " A Siesta," is a marvel of the triumph of art over its subject. Among his recent works are: "The Prodigal Son," "The Barnyard," "October Morning," "Harrowing," "Hauling the Log- Winter," and "Calves in Spring." Each of these has been spoken of as a work of delightful sentiment and feeling. — Studio Building, 10th St., New York.

He holds also the presidency of the Triennial Council of Orangemen of the World. For many yrs. he has been regarded as one of the special champions in Parlt. of Orange and Prot. interests. He was one of the "Noble 13 " who voted for the disallowance of Mer- cier's Jesuits' Estates bill, 1888, and, more recently, he took an active part in opposition to remedial legis- lation in reference to the Man.

' ' The editorial policy of the Mail, since 1052 WALLIS — WALSH. his appt," says the Can.

Ter- ritories he established a reputation for- great courage and firmness in his dealings with the Indians, and more especially in his treatment of the" Sioux Chief, "Sitting Bull." The latter, having held 2 American forces in check, and utterly de- stroyed Genl. Custer and his com- mand, had withdrawn over the Can. border, where he was met by Maj. W. and several troopers, and in- duced to surrender to the U. S. authorities. In 1883 he resigned from the Mounted Police, and estab- lished the Dom. Coal, Coke and Transportation Co. , in which capac- ity he did much towards opening up coal mines in the Souris Dist. The recent discovery of gold in the Yukon Dist., and the consequent advent of population there having necessitated the appt. of a special comnr. to administer govt, in that territory, Maj.

Walsh, by his wife, Ellen Macdonald, and was b. in the parish of Mooncoin, Co. Kil- kenny, Irel., May 23, 1830, his preparatory studies being conducted at St. John's Coll., Waterford, where he also took one year in Theol. Coming to Can., Apl., 1852, he entered the Grand Semy. , Mont- real, and, in the following year, received tonsure from Bp. La Rocque, and minor orders from Bp. Bourget. On Oct. 22, 1854, Bp. de Charbonnel, of Toronto, ordained him sub-deacon, and deacon on Oct. 29, and, on Nov. 1, following the Feast of All Saints, he was raised by the same prelate to the priest- hood in St. Michael's Cath. , Toronto. In 1855 he was apptd. to the Brock Mission on Lake Simcoe, of which parish he was the first resident pastor, and where, removed from all society, the young priest had ample opportunity to pursue undis- turbed the studies to which he was devoted — frequently conducted by the light of a tallow candle, or of the log fire in the shanties of the "settlers" in the backwoods. In ] 857 he was placed in charge of the more important parish of St. Mary's, Toronto, and shortly after the con- secration of Dr. Lynch as Bp. of Toronto, 1859, he was apptd. Rector of St. Michael's Cath., and on Easter Sunday, 1862, was nominated V.-G. of the Diocese. In May, 1863, he attended the 3rd Provl. Council of Quebec as Theologian to the Bp. of Toronto, and, the follow- ing year, visited Rome for the first time, being received with marked distinction by Pope Pius IX. The health of Dr. Pinsonneault, Bp. of Sandwich, becoming impaired, the hierarchy of the ecclesiastical Prov- ince of Quebec unanimously nomi- nated Vicar-General Walsh as future Bp. ; the choice in due time being ratified by bulls from the Holy See, the consecration taking place in St. Michael's Cath., Toronto, and being conducted by Mgr. Baillargeon, then Archbp. of Quebec, assisted by Bp. Bourget, of Montreal, and Bp. Lynch, of Toronto. In January, 1868, Bp. Walsh removed the epis- copal residence from Sandwich to London, to which city the See was transferred by a decree from the Propaganda, dated Nov. 15, 1869. Here unlimited scope was afforded H is Lordship for the exercise of his administrative and executive abili- ties. A large and pressing debt upon the diocese had to be liqui- dated, the re -organization of the clergy and missions was urgent, a number of priests had to be pro- vided, in many parishes chs. and presbyteries had to be built or restored and enlarged, the interests of education demanded earnest and immediate attention, and asylums for the orphan and the infirm had to be established. Yet within 3 yrs. the entire debt of the diocese was paid off, and, in 1876, upon paying his official visit as Bp. to Rome, he was able to report 28 new chs. built, many of them splendid and costly structures, and 17 pres- byteries for the accommodation of the parochial clergy. An episcopal residence, second to none in the Province, had been constructed and was absolutely free of debt. Three convents had been built, Mount Hope purchased and paid for, and a splendid new orphanage erected on it, in addition to which a handsome new coll. had been built for the Basilian Fathers at Sandwich ; 29 priests had been ordained and over 10,000 children confirmed. In May, 1881, the corner-stone of the new cath. in London was laid, and St. Peter's was dedicated, June 28, 1885, by Bp. Walsh in the presence of a 1054 WALSH — WALTON. number of distinguished prelates. In 1882, when visiting Irel., he took part in the ceremony of the un- veiling of the O'Connell monument in Dublin, having previously, in 1864, assisted at the laying of its corner-stone. At the close of the 20th year of his -episcopate, Nov., 1887, he again repaired to Rome, and assisted at the Jubilee of Pope Leo XIII. in St. Peter's. While Bp. Walsh was on his return to Can. from this official visit, Archbp. Lynch, of Toronto, laid down in death the crozier which for 28 yrs . he had carried with so much zeal, and, by a brief froni Rome, dated Aug. 27, 1889, Bp. Walsh's eventful career as Bp. of London closed, and he was apptd. to the Archbishopric of Toronto, the ceremonies of the installation taking place with great pomp on Nov. 27. To the duties of his new charge he applied himself with the same zeal which had char- acterized his administration of the London Diocese, with results which are apparent upon all sides, the most conspicuous perhaps being the renovation of St. Michael's Cath., which, in its interior decoration, is now one of the chief ornaments of Toronto, while the constant visita- tion of the archdiocese and the en- couragement of students in greatly increased numbers for the priest- hood, testify to the activity of His Grace in those important branches. Archbp. W. has throughout his career given much attention to the affairs of his native country. In a letter addressed to the Hon. Ed. Blake, M. P. , he formulated a scheme for the holding of a great conven- tion in Dublin to restore unity in the Irish party. This convention was held in Dublin in 1896, and was attended by His Grace, along with many other Canadians. He re- ceived the degree of D.D. from Rome, 1867. — Archbishop's Palace, St. John's Grove, 510 Sherbourne St. , Toronto. "A prelate of large views, and generous, kindly impulses."— Rev. Francis Ryan.

One of his earliest efforts, ' ' The Pioneer Mill," appeared at the 1st exhn. of the Royal Can. Acad., and was pur- chased by the Marquis of Lome, who also purchased 2 of his subse- quent works: "April Day" and "The Last of the Drouth." In trees, clouds and colour masses in landscape, Mr. W. is thoroughly at home. In 1889, and again recently, he exhibited at the Royal Acad, and at the New Gallery, Regent St. , London. He took ■•■ prize at the Montreal Art Assn. Exhn., 1894. He appears at his best in his " Village under the Hill," exhibited in Toronto, 1894, and the " Way- side Inn," exhibited at the Royal Can. Acad. Exhn., Montreal, 1896. Of the former picture Prof. Mavor has said that it is not by any means too much to say that it might worthily find a place by the side of the work of the greater French or Dutch landscapists. A picture of his exhibited at the New Gallery, 1895, was pronounced an artistic production of the highest class. He was elected an associate of the WATSON. 1061 Royal Can.

WATSON, John, educationist, was b. in Glasgow, 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., 1866. He took first prizes in the classes of Logic and Rhetoric, Moral Phil., Eng. 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, Metaph. and Ethics in Queen's Univ., King- ston. 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 other subjects, contributed to the Jour, of Specul. Phil., the Phil. Review, the Can. Monthly, and the Queen's Quarterly, he has published in book- form : "Kant and his Eng. Critics : a Comparison of Critical and Empiri- cal Phil." (1881); " Schelling's Tran- scendental Idealism : a Critical Ex- position" (1882) ; " Comte, Mill and Spencer : an Outline of Phil." (1895) ; "Hedonistic Theories: From Aris- tippus to Spencer " (1895) ; and "Christianity and Idealism: The Christian Ideal of Life in its Rela- tion to the Greek and Jewish Ideals and to Modern Phil." (1896). Of the first-named work the Satur- day Review said it was decidedly the best exposition of Kant which it had seen in English. His other works have but added to his re- putation as a, deep and original 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. W. is by universal consent the foremost man in phil. on this side of the Atlantic, whilst Presdt. Sehurman, of Cornell Univ. , does not hesitate to pronounce him one of the best philosophical teachers and writers in the whole Eng. -speaking world. On the forma- tion of the Royal Soc. of Can., by the Marquis of Lome, 1881, Prof. W. was chosen one of the original Fellows of that body. He received the degree of LL.D. from Glasgow Univ., 1880.

Mangr. at London, Ont., remaining there till 1865, and was then chosen one of the agents of the bank at N. Y. He subsequently entered the service of the Bank of Montreal, and, in 1876, was sent to N.

Ed. in the Grammar schs., Greenock, he came to Mont- real, 1846, under indenture to his uncle, the late Jas. R. Orr, at that time an extensive shipping and ex- porting merchant, in which business he has continued ever since. Shortly after coming of age he joined the Bd. of Trade. Later, he was one of the organizers of the Corn Ex- change, and he continues an active and conspicuous mem. of both those bodies at the present time. He organized from among his fellow- 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 1860, with the active aid of Sir A. T. Gait, then Mr. of Finance, the remission of canal tolls, which were, however, reimposed at a later date. In 1888 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 ships, at the close of which his fellow-merchants presented him with an address and a cup containing 500 sovereigns. He is still pursuing these free navi- gation schemes. Mr. W. takes his recreation in both science and art. He is an old-time life-mem. of the Natural Hist. Soc, and was for a while ed. of its journal, the Can. Naturalist. His specialties are fish and plants, and he is considered an authority on ferns. He was one of the active promoters of the Montreal meeting of the Brit. Assn., 1884, at the close of which his fel- low-committeemen presented him WATTS — WEATHERBE. 1063 with a testimonial, in recognition of his work. He was one of the organizers of the Art Assn., 1860 ; has been an active and continuous worker in council and on comtes., and, in 1895, the Assn. paid him the compliment of electing him a life- go v., " in recognition of his signal services to the Assn." He was also one of the founders of the Good Govt. Assn. He has contributed to the press numerous papers on subjects connected with science, art and education. Respecting the latter he is a co-educationist, and advocates the opening up of all univ. and other educational privileges to women and men alike. He is much interested in philanthropic institutions and work, more particularly in hospi- tals, but the procuring of more effective protection, especially legis- lative protection, for women and girls he regards as one of his par- ticular duties, and on this mat- ter his writings are voluminous. He is grateful for the recent enact- ments promoted by the late Sir John Thompson, but continues pushing and working for more.

Robert Linton, judge and jurist, is descended from the same Yorkshire family that produced the "Weatherbys" of London, who founded the " Stud Book" and established the "Racing Calendar," 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 Weath- erbe, merchant and ship-owner, by Mary, dau. of John Baker, the de- scendant of a Quaker family. B. at Bedeque, P.E.I., Apl. 7, 1836, he was ed. for a time at the Prince of Wales Coll., after which he entered Acadia Coll., Wolfville (B. A., 1858; M. A., 1861; hon. D.C.L., 1883). He studied law with the late Hon. J. W. Johnston (afterwards Judge in Equity, N. S.), and in early life supported himself as ed. of the Acadian Recorder, the oldest journal in the Province. He was also a constant contributor to other journals, Am. and Eng. He was called to the bar, N. S., 1863, and, in 1864, published a pamphlet : "Dawn of a New Empire," in favour of colonial union, but joined the Hon. Joseph Howe in opposing what was then styled the imposition of the Quebec scheme in defiance of 1064 WEATHEEBE. the popular will, and became Secy, of the " Anti-ConfederationLeague," of which Howe was Presdt. He made his mark at once as a writer and speaker, and afterwards became one of the most successful advocates of a brilliant bar, and won the largest verdicts ever recorded in the Province. According to the testi mony of the present Chief-Justice McDonald, he was invincible as a cross-examr. , and his powers of persuasion amounted to magnetism with a jury. He was a. prominent factor of the Lib. party in the heated contest arising out of the "Pacific Scandal," which swept Sir John Macdonald from power, and shortly afterwards he became agent for the Mr. 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., which sat for 6 mths. at Halifax, in 1877, and resulted in an award of 5£ million dollars for the Dom. The Canadians were confronted by dis- tinguished American counsel, and the success reflects credit on Mr. W. and his associates, though he himself persists that the result was due to the majority of 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 furnish a "considered" award has robbed the victory of all value, and is proving an unmixed evil. After an exceptionally suc- cessful career at the bar, 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 made 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 obliged to deliver dis- senting opinions, and on one occa- sion when several of such opinions had followed one another, he hu- morously reminded the Court that his commission named him as the successor to Mr. Justice Wilkins — who was also frequently a dissenting judge. The truth is that Judge W. 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 the bottom of every question presented for consideration, that made him so 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, would often be brought to light by the tireless activity of his luminous and powerful intellect — sometimes in a dissenting opinion to be adopted on appeal, oftener in the course of the argument, as «, controlling and determining factor in the judgment. It is safe to say that a more powerful and active intellect never adorned the bench of N. S. " He is the author of a char- acteristic and incisive paper on the Maine boundary disputes and the Ashburton Treaty, a subject on which he predicts the last word has not been said. This was read before the N. S. Hist. Soc, of which he became the Presdt. on the death of Sir Adams Archibald . Besides many other contributions to the press 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, the well-known constitutional writer, to contribute to the Am. Law 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. Among other subjects, the versatile WEAVER — WEBB. 1065 pen of His Lordship has been (after a practical experience and exhaus- tive study of the subject and corre- spondence with the eminent Draining Engr., Waring) devoted to the sub- ject of the drainage of land. To the astonishment even of expert electricians, in defending an attack upon a modest article he produced upon the subject of deep ocean cables, he was led into a controversy with the ed. of the London Elec- trician, which lasted for several mths., supporting hempen in oppo- sition to iron cables, in trenchant letters which attracted the favour- able notice of electrical journals in Europe and Am. , by one of whose editors he was mistaken 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 from 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 Gas- pereaux the largest apple orchards in the Province — over 8000 trees in all. With what he boasts of as instinct amounting to a passion for the picturesque in nature, he is con- structing winding roads through the undulating slopes and along the terraces on the charming banks of the river, converting what his friends claim to be a profitable in- vestment into an inimitable park. " Nomenclature " is one of the hob- bies which the tireless Judge con- fesses he would, if time permitted, ride with whip and spur. His Clydesdale pair of draught horses, for example, respond to the names, "Grit "and "Tory." "Now," he soberly argues, ' ' by this humorous application of familiar terms I offer a perpetual object lesson that Grit and Tory may pull together ; and thus, throughout an area of 20 miles, I soften the asperities of politics in my neighbourhood, and a removal for ' obnoxious partisanship ' is out of the question there. These ami- able brutes would put the whole Ho. of Commons to the blush." In religious belief, the Judge is a mem. of the Ch. of Eng.

He obtained the degree of M.D., 1891, and, in 1892, became a mem., and, in 1893, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Coll. of Phys. of Edinburgh. He had previously studied in the Pathol. Inst, at Leipzig, at the same time working with Dr. Sanger in his hospital for diseases of women, and in the Maternity Hospital. In 1886 he was apptd. a Demonstrator in Anat.,, under Dr. Symington, and also in Practical Path., under Prof. Greenfield. In the winter of 1886- 87 he held the same position in the class of General Path. After gradu- ation he spent the following winter in Berlin, studying Midwifery and Gynaecol., under Profs. Gusserow and Martin. Besides doing regular clinical work in their hospitals, he took out special practical and opera- tive courses, and by special favour was allowed to work with their assistants in their large out-patient depts. He also attended the opera- tions of Prof. Olshausen. During several vacations he visited leading obstet. schs. in various other con- tinental cities, in Gt. Brit, and Irel. , and in Am. In Apl., 1889, Dr. W. became Asst. to Dr. Freeland Bar- bour, Lecturer on Midwifery and Diseases of Women, in the Edin- burgh Scb. of Med., remaining in this position for a year and a half.

After his admission thereto, 1886, he became pastor of the 1 st Bapt. Ch. , Brock- ville, Ont., and was subsequently pastor of thelstOh.,Moncton,N.B., where he laboured with remarkable success. In Nov., 1895, out of sev- eral calls then made to him, he accepted that from the cong. of Walmer Road Ch., Toronto, where he still is. This ch. has a larger seating capacity than any other Bapt. ch. in Can. Mr. W. is spoken of as "one of the most elo- quent preachers in the Bapt. denomi- nation. He is of fine presence, and a magnetic and powerful speaker." He appeared to great advantage at the great convention of Bapt. Young People's Unions at Chattanooga, 1897. He is credited also with being a man 1068 WEIR. of much originality of thought and opinion. While at Moneton he denounced the "P. P. A." from the pulpit, on the ground that no Prot. should support an organization that would not support a man for office because he was a Catholic. Mr. W.

While at the univ. he was ed. -in-chief of the Univ. Gazette. Devoting himself to jour- nalism, he was for some yrs. on the ed. staff of the Montreal Star, and, later, was with the Journal of Com- merce. His articles on financial and commercial topics, at that time and since, have given him an assured reputation as a writer on such sub- jects. In 1894 he commenced the publication of the Stockbrokers' and Investors' A nnual. At present ( 1 898 ) he is preparing for publication a volume on " The Commercial Devel- opment of Can." He is Secy, of La Banque Ville Marie. Mr. W. 's first attempts in verse were made when a boy for the amusement of his sch. - mates. His first volume: "Fleur de Lys," appeared in 1887, and gave him at once a position as a poet. Prof. Roberts spoke of him as ' ' among our very strongest sonnet- eers." His second volume: "The Romance of Sir Richard, Sonnets and other Poems" (1890), confirmed the good impressionpreviouslymade, and established his right to be in- cluded among Am. poets. His third volume: "The Snowflake, and other Poems," appeared in 1896. Some of his sonnets have been widely copied, and may be found in such antholo- gies as "The Lovers' Year-Book," "The Younger Am. Poets," "Mod- ern Scottish Poets," and in "Songs of the Great Dom. " He is a mem. of the Haliburton Soc. of N. S., a life-mem. of the Hobby Club, Detroit, and an hon. mem. of the Soc. of Can. Lit.

Called to the bar, 1881, he practised for some time in partnership with D. McMas- ter, Q.C., but of late has carried on business singly. He has paid special attention to municipal law and all matters pertaining thereto, and has written much on these subjects. Among his other publications are two hand-books, one on legal ex- change', and the other on the insolv- ency law, and " The Administration of the Old, Regime in Can." (1897), the latter being his thesis for the D.C.L. degree. In 1897 Dr. W. was apptd. Prof, of Ch. Law and of Ch. Music in the Cong.

WEIB, William, banker, was b. at Greenden, near Brechin, Scot., Oct. 28, 1823. Coming to Can., 1812, he served for 2 yrs. as a public sch. teacher. After taking a course in French at the Coll. at Ste. Therese, P.Q., he commenced busi- ness as an exchange broker in Mont- WEIR — WELCH. 1069 real, laying the foundation of the afterwards well-known firm of W. Weir & Sons. He resided in To- ronto, 1856-59, and published for some yrs. the Van. Merchants' Mag. Both in this periodical and in the daily press, he wrote many valuable articles on financial and commercial subjects. He was an early advocate of the principle of protection to native industries. At his sugges- tion, and largely through his exer- tions, a convention of manufacturers was called in Toronto, 1858, which resulted in the formation of the " Assn. for the Promotion of Can. Industry." Of this body he was for some time the Secy. In 1870 his name came prominently before the public in connection with the abatement of the "Am. Silver Nuisance," his ser- vices on the occasion being afterwards acknowledged by the presentation to him, on behalf of the people of Can. , of a solid silver service. In 1879 he organized the movement which re- sulted in changing the policy of the Jacques Cartier Bank. He became V.-P. of that institution, resigning the same, 1882, to take the presi- dency of La Banque Ville Marie, which institution he has placed in a sound financial condition. In 1893 Mr. W. addressed a letter through the public press to the Presdt. and mems. of Congress of the U. S. , in which he very ably discussed the financial situation in that country, and suggested the adoption of cer- tain remedial measures. Mr. W. was one of the pioneers of West- mount, the leading suburb of Mont- real, where he holds considerable property. It is to his efforts that this thriving town owes " Western Avenue," he having contributed largely both in land and money to secure this the principal entrance to Montreal from that quarter.

For a short period he was leading editorial writer on the Montreal Star. Later, he prepared, together with Mr. Justice Jette and the late M. Lorrain, a report review- ing the judicial system of Quebec. In 1890 he published a revised edition of the Civil Code, the Code of Civil Procedure and the Municipal Code of the Province of Quebec. He was for 2 yrs. reviser of private legislation in Quebec. He has lectured on the "Political Position of the Eng. in Quebec," on "Can. Literature," etc. He has always been a strong supporter of the Lib. party, and is widely known in the Province of Quebec as a public speaker in support of Lib. principles. In 1890 he ran unsuccessfully for Argenteuil for the Legislature. At the g. e. 1897, he was again a can- didate there, in that interest, and was returned by a majority of 127.

Upon the death of Bp. Lightfoot, he re- ceived from the Crown the living of the Venerable Bede's Ch., at Gates- head, and remained there until his appt., Apl., 1895, as Provost and Vice-Chancellor of the Univ. of Trinity Coll., Toronto. While at Gateshead he was elected a mem. of the Sch. Bd. He was duly installed as Vice-Chancellor of Trinity Univ. , Nov. 13, 1895, receiving at the same time from the univ. , the hon. degree of D.C.L. In his address on the occasion, the new Provost declared that he regarded Trinity Univ. as representing the whole Ch. , and not as in any way being the apologist or advocate for any one sec. within it.

He takes the title of Comptroller of the N.-W. Mounted Police, and, in July, 1883, was accorded the rank and status of a deputy head in the C. S. In his official capacity Mr. W. has become widely and favour- ably known. Perhaps no other man in the public service has had a more extended experience of N. -W. affairs, and there is no one certainly who has done so much, in the line of his duty and otherwise, to foster and promote the best interests of the Territories. The force under his immediate charge has grown from a small body of men to an effective strength of 1000 men, and has earned a high reputation for activity, discipline and good conduct. "I saw this force, " writes a well-known Ger- man traveller, "when first organ- ized. It became the terror of all smugglers and adventurers. Later, I met the Mounted Police when they had arrested the Sioux who an- nihilated Genl. Custer's cavalry. When the Can. half-breeds rebelled under Louis Riel, the Mounted Police were again to the fore. It _is truly a corps d'elite. Wherever ■ these intrepid horsemen show them- selves smugglers and Indians vanish. They travel with the most astonish- ing celerity from one part of the Dom. to another. . . . They are organized like the Irish constabu- lary, and are such picked men that they would know how to command respect even without carbine, sword and revolver." In addition to his other duties, Mr. W. served as Private Secy, to Sir John A. Macdonald, when Prime Minister, 1880-82. He was for some yrs. a capt. in the Gov. -Genl. 's Foot Guards.

He was Chairman for some yrs. of the Standing Comte. of the Ho. of Commons on Agricul. and Immigration, and held the office ' WHITE. 1075 of Speaker during the 7th Parlt., 1891-96. At the g. e. 1896, he ex- pressed his opposition to the policy of the Govt, on the Man. Soh. question, being " fully convinced that no legis- lation of the Dom. Parlt. on a ques- tion so essentially provincial as edu- cation could be effectively enforced on an unwilling people, and because, also, the adoption of such legislation would bring about a conflict with Man. and become a fruitful source of irritation."

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 of 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 earthquakes. . . . His theory of tidal waves is also extremely in- teresting, and appears strongly probable ; and a number of the pre- dictions which he has made have been literally fulfilled." A mem. of the Ang.

Willson, Woodstock, Ont., and a grands, of Hon. John Willson, for- merly Speaker of the U. C. Assem- bly. B. at Princeton, Ont., Mch. 14, 1860, he was ed. at the Hamilton Coll. Inst. , where he showed a special aptitude for chemistry and physical science. At the age of 20 he con- structed an arc light apparatus, and, in association with Senator Sanford and John Hood, Hamilton, gave the citizens there the first exhibition of the electric are light. In 1882 he obtained employment in N. Y. with the Fuller Elect. Co. as inspr. of construction, and was subsequently with the Remington Gun Co. Pro- ceeding to Akron, Ohio, he carried out some interesting experimental work in head-lights on a local ry., and, from 1887 to 1890, was associ- ated with Messrs. Seward and More- head, N. Y., in developing the work of the Willson Aluminum Co. His discovery of acetylene, or the con- version of water into light — which has made his name famous through- out the world — was made by chance during his search for another object. While working with his electrical furnace at Leaksville, N.Y., trying WILSON. 1089 to form an alloy of calcium from some of its compounds, he noticed that a mixture containing lime and powdered anthracite, acted on by the arc, fused down to a heavy semi-metallic mass, which, having been examined and found not to be the substance sought, was thrown into a bucket containing water, with the result that violent effervescence of the water marked the rapid evolu- tion of gas, the overwhelming odour of which enforced attention to its presence, and which on the applica- tion of a light burnt with a smoky but luminous flame. It was acetylene gas. Further experiments showed that in a properly built electrical furnace, finely ground lime, mixed with powdered carbon in any form, can be fused, forming the compound known as calcium carbide, and that when 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- cial use, but enabling the chemist or manufacturer to build up a host of other compounds on a scale of cheap- ness hitherto undreamt of. The fact that acetylene gas gives a light which 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. Such is the vista opened before the world by Mr. W. 's discovery. He has his manufactory at St. Catharines, Ont. He m. Aug., 1895, Mary, eld. dau. of the late Wm. H.

B. at Mount Norris, Aug. 26, 1826, he was ed. there, and at Derry- cughan and Loughgilly. He com- menced his business career in To- ronto, but after 3 yrs. removed to Hamilton, where he has since lived. In 1848 he accepted a, position with the wholesale and retail hardware firm of Wm. Atkinson & Co. , and, in the following year, commenced WOOD. 1099 business, on his own account, in the same line. He was for a short time a mem. of the firm of E. McGiverin & Co. In 1852 he entered the wholesale trade, and, in 1856, formed a partnership with M. Leg- gatt {q.v.), which lasted for 30 yrs. The business grew, and an immense trade was carried on all over the Dom., the firm always standing in the front rank in commercial cir- cles throughout the country. After Mr. Leggatt's retirement, the firm name was changed to Wood, Val- lance & Co. , the company consisting of Mr. W.'s eld. s., and Wm. and Geo. Vallance. The business of this great concern is still carried on with undiminished energy and success. In addition to the Hamilton estab- lishment there is a branch house in Winnipeg. Mr. W. is spoken of as a thoroughly representative citizen, who has freely invested his talents and his wealth in promoting those agencies necessary to the develop- ment of the country. He was one of the founders, with the late Hon. John Young and others, of the Dom. Bd. of Trade, and sat in the Council of that important body. He was also Presdt. of the Hamilton Bd. of Trade ; Presdt. of the Mech. Inst. ; Presdt. of the Hamilton Provident and Loan Co. ; and Presdt. of the Mutual Life Assn. of Can. He was one of the first promoters of the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Ry., and was a dir. of the co. up to its amalgamation with the old Gt. Western Ry. He was also among the originators of the Ont. Cotton Co., was long its Presdt., and is still a dir. thereof, and has been connected with a, vast number of other institutions and enterprises. In 1881 he was a mem. of the How- land syndicate that offered to con- struct the Can. Pac. Ry. At pres- ent he is one of the trustees and a Senator of the Univ. of Toronto, a dir. of the Hamilton Sanitary Assn., a dir. of the Bank of Hamilton, V.-P. of the Hamilton Provident and Loan Soc. , and Presdt. of the Hamil- ton Art Sch. In addition to cotton he is largely interested in iron manu- facturing, and he was one of the originators of tho iron smelting in- dustry in Hamilton. He attended as a del. the Imp. Commercial Con- gress held in London, 1892, and again, 1896. A Lib., he sat in the Ho. of Commons, in that interest, 1874-78, when he suffered defeat. He was again elected, standing at the head of the poll, while absent from the country, at the g. e. 1896. He has always held that the Can. tariff should be so arranged in the interests of our own people that it would develop trade along the lines of least resistance, and he was one of the first to advocate preferential trade arrangements with Gt. Brit. A personal admirer of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, he is also one of his most devoted followers. In religion, a Presb. , he has been twice m., 1st, 1851, to Mary E., eld. dau. of the late Wm.

He practised only for a few mths., his services being then needed in connection with his father's business. He became the leading partner of the firm, and on his father's death, succeeded to its entire control. He was also agent for the Halifax Banking Co. In addition to being an extensive ship- owner and builder, he is interested in farming and stock-raising, having a large farm at Sackville. He has been a, munificent contributor to various charitable institutions in Westmoreland, and has taken a warm interest in all movements for the promotion of education, par- ticularly higher education. He is a mem. of the Senate and a mem. of the Ex. Comte. of Mt. Alli- son Univ. A mem. of the Meth. Ch., he advocated some yrs. ago the erection of a Dom. Meth.

Morgan (Cong.), is the s. of the Rev. E. M. Wood, D.D. (Meth. ), and was b. at Freeport, Pa. , Aug. 8, 1867. Ed. at Pittsburg and at Union Coll., Alliance, Ohio (B.A.), he took a post-graduate course in Philol. and Phil, at Yale Univ. (M.A.). He divided his theol. course between Yale Div. Sch. of Theol. and Boston Univ. His first choice of a profession was the law, but abandoning this, he devoted himself to the Christian ministry. He became a home mission, in South Dakota, and previous to going to Detroit, Mich., held pas- torates in Salem, N.H., New Orleans, La. , and Bloomington, 111. One who was intimately associated with Mr. W. in Detroit, thus describes his life and work in that city: "As pastor of the People's (Cong.) Ch., Detroit, he enjoyed the distinction of preaching to the largest audiences in that city. When he went to Detroit, the audience room, seating 700, soon became too small to accom- modate those who desired to hear him, and the ch. immediately began a career of extraordinary prosperity. At the end of 6 mths. a large tab- ernacle was erected, with a seating capacity of 2000. So popular did Mr. W.'s Sunday evening people's services become that even the taber- nacle was found too small, and for 2 winters it was found necessary to hold the services in the heart of the city in the opera house. Mr. W. was the first to take up the so-called advance movement in ch. work in Mich. Believing that something ought to be done to make the Ch. of to-day the acknowledged moral and spiritual power which the Master designed it to be, he introduced several institutional methods into the People's Ch. He was also the founder of Plymouth Inst., which had for its aim the promotion of manual and industrial education, as well as cultivation in literature, science and art ; to inculcate habits of industry and thrift, and to foster all that makes for right living and good citizenship. 600 students were 1102 WOOD — WOODS. enrolled in the different depts. of the Inst, the first year, showing the demand for a sell, of this kind at a nominal expense to the pupil. After 2 seasons, however, the work had to be abandoned because of a lack of financial encouragement. As a plat- form speaker Mr. W. has gained a reputation equalled by few Ameri- cans. His preaching is powerful and magnetic, he is an eloquent orator, and for wealth of language, thought and rapidity of expression, has few equals. Mr. W. has been especially successful in winning the confidence and esteem of the common people by the modernness of the Gospel he preaches. He goes directly to the root of things, is severely practical, and is in hearty sympathy with the hopeful tendency toward a more distinctly social Gospel than has yet been preached. During his 6 years' work in Detroit he caused men to see as never before that it is im- possible to save the individual entirely until many of the existing social hindrances are removed. " In June, 1897, he accepted a call to Bond St. Cong. Ch., Toronto, and assumed the duties of his new charge in 'the following July. He m. Aug., 1889, Miss EllaM.

In May, 1884, he was apptd. Prof, of Old Test. Exegesis and Lit., in the same in- stitution. To qualify himself for special departmental work in Ori- ental Languages, he went to Europe, and spent nearly five full yrs. at Leipzig Univ., in post-graduate study and private investigation. While there, he published " The Text of Jeremiah ; or, a Critical Investigation of the Greek and Hebrew, with the Variations in the Septuagint re-translated into the Original and Explained" (Edin., 1889). In recognition of the merits of this work the Univ. of Leipzig conferred upon him the degree of Ph.D., without requiring an exam. In the autumn of 1890, Prof. W. published a new investigation on the subject of "Messianic Pro- phecy," a work which created a pro- longed and bitter controversy, but which also brought him gratifying testimonies of appreciation and ap- proval from HeDrew scholars and Biblical students. Not long after- wards he severed his connection with Victoria Univ., and has since devoted his time wholly to his pri- vate studies. His latest work : ' ' The Old Testament Vindicated as Chris- tianity's Foundation- Stone " (1897), was called forth by Prof. Goldwin Smith's article, entitled "Christian- ' ity's Millstone," which appeared not long previously in the North Am.

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 Gait public schs. 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. and managed for 10 yrs. He then embarked in manufacturing and other enterprises, carrying on, for a. considerable period, 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 Monetary Times, and contributed occasionally to the Toronto Globe and other journals. He likewise was the author of 2 prize essays, one on " The Agricul. Resources of Can."; the other on "The Recipro- city Treaty ; its Advantages to the United States and Can. " The latter was printed specially for circulation at the great Trade Convention held at Detroit, 1866, to which the author, in conjunction with the Hon. Joseph Howe, Hon. John Young, Hon. Isaac Buchanan, and other leading Can. public men, was invited. Among Mr. Y.'s other publications are a volume : ' ' Reminiscences of the Early History of Gait and the Settlement of Dumfries" (1880), and a pamphlet, entitled "Our National Future" (1887), which takes strong ground against Commercial Union with the U. S. and Imp. Federation. It was a reprint of a series of letters that ap- peared originally in the Toronto Globe. These letters attracted wide- spread attention, as well in Gt. Brit, and the U. S. as in Can., and did much to give a quietus 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 these was an address 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- cies." Politically, Mr. Y. is a Lib., YOUNG. 1111 and began his public career by being elected to the Gait Public Sch. Bd., 1857.

At the first g. e. after the Confederation of the Provinces, 1867, he was elected to represent South Waterloo in the Ho. of Commons ; his majority being 366 over his Con. opponent. At the g. els. of 1872 and 1874 he was re- elected by acclamation. Defeated at the g. e. 1878, by a small majority, he was presented, not long after- wards, by the Reformers of the riding, with a handsome service of plate, in recognition of "his self- denying efforts as their representa- tive at Ottawa." Whilst in the Ho. of Commons he took an active part in the conduct of public business, more especially during the 5 years' exist- ence of the Mackenzie Admn. Dur- ing that period he was Chairman of 2 of the most important standing comtes. of the Ho. , viz. , the Comte. on Public Accounts and the Comte. of the Whole House in Supply. Among his legislative measures were the abolition of the old system of Queen's printer and the letting of all public and departmental printing by public tender; a bill confirming the naturalization of all aliens who had taken the oaths of allegiance and naturalization before Confedera- tion ; a bill in favour of the ballot, the Govt., however, finally taking the question up ; the passage of addresses to Her Majesty in 1873 and in 1878, praying that the Imp. Govt, would confer on Germans and other aliens naturalized in Can., the same rights in all parts of the world as Brit, subjects enjoy ; the appt. of a special comte. which resulted in the publication of the " Hansard " or Ho. of Commons debates ; and resolutions in favour of the estab- lishment of a Govt. Bureau of Statis- tics, which the Govt, agreed would be carried out. At the Provl. g. e. 1879 he was returned to the Legisla- ture for North Brant by a majority of 340. Re-elected at the g. e. 1883, he entered Sir 0. Mowat's Cabinet as Provl. Treas. on June 2, and was re-elected after accepting office by a majority of 551. Owing to a sudden and dangerous attack of illness, he resigned the treasurership and retired from the Govt, in the month of Oct. following, but remained a mem. of the Ho. till the close of the 5th Legislature, 1886, when he declined re-nomination. At Toronto as at Ottawa he took a prominent part in the debates, especially on financial and business questions, and it was on his motion that the Govt, agreed to establish the Ont. Statistical Bureau, thus following the course, on this subject, which he had pre- viously had adopted under the Federal Govt. Mr. Y.'s life has been active in other directions. For 11 yrs. ending 1881, he was elected Presdt. of the Associated Mech. In- stitutes of Ont., and was thus an ex-officio mem. of the Provl. Agrtcul. and Arts Assn. During this period, the Industrial and Arts depts. of the Provl. Exhns. were largely under his direction and control. On his retirement therefrom, he was presented by the Assn. with some valuable testimonials of its regard. He was among the first presdts. of the Sabbath Sch. Assn. of Ont., and remains one of its V. -Ps. He was elected Presdt. of the Reform Assn. of Ont. , and was likewise Chairman of the great Lib. Provl. Conventions held in Toronto in 1878 and 1893. For several yrs. he was Chairman of the Bd. of Trustees of Gait Coll. Inst, and Presdt. of the Gait Hospital Trust, and was instrumental in pro- moting the erection of the excellent hospital now possessed by the town. In addition to being on the director- ate of the Confederation Life Assn. and the Landed Credit and National Invest. Co., he has been also, since 1877, Presdt. of the Gore Fire Ins. Co. , and continues to take an active interest in all that concerns Can. and the prosperous town of Gait and vicinity. His name is now frequently mentioned in connec- tion with a seat in the Senate.

Something he had recently said in a speech delivered in his native town had been misinterpreted. He had not any sinister idea or malign no- tion suggestive of his resumption of political leadership in this country. He had had enough of that. He had always detested it, had kept away from it, and had got out of it as soon as he could. He knew no conceiv- able thing that could induce him to get into it again. Surely it was not a criminal wish or a too large ambi- tion to desire to take part as an inde- pendent citizen in the public life of his native land. He wished that, and no more."
