It was when the cold, grey day dawned that the renewed decline of the,vita.l powers warned the watchers that their struggle against nature could not.much`V_longer succeed. The Queen was then completely unconscious, and -from moment to moment the exhaustion of the small remaining store of vitality became perceptiblv greater. Shortly` after 9 o clock the doctors sent summonses to all the members of the family, and also to the rector of the Royal chapel. Before they all _u.rrived there took place that prudential phenomenon which nature sometimes grants to the dying. The Queen became conscious and free of all suffering. It was under those circumstances of` precious memory that the lust interviews with her children and grandchild ren took place. The world will never know and has no right to know what took place. The Queen received them all singly and by twos and threes within the next four hours. She recognized most of them. Then the curtain of uncon- sciousness fell for the last time, End the - physicians made known that the Queen was dying. All assembled and remained until the very end. It was so quiet and peaceful and gentle that it was ditcult to realize that the shadow of death was present. Thelsad intelligence reached Barrie shortly after two o'clock and plunged the town in mourning. In a. few minutes iltgs, both public and private, were all flying at half mast; while the church bells and town bell began tolling and continued n`ea.rly all afternoon. The Queen's portrait in the Council Chamber was draped in black. At the County Council in the evening, extended refer- ences to the sad event were ma_.de by J ucige Ardagh and the Warden and the Council adjourned till after the Que.en s funernI.V The Collegiate Institute was closed yesterdzty.

"THE PREMIER The Affair an Unqualied Success-1`he Pre- mier In a Magnificent Speech Outlines _ Further Steps In a Broad and Progressive Policy. `The most; successful affair of its kind ever held in Barrie. Such was the general opinion expressed con- cerning the banquet tendered to Hon. G} W. Ross by the Liberals of Centre Simcoe at the Queen's Hotel last. Thursday night. The visitors present spoke with unstinted praise of the manner in which in was conducted from beginning to end, all agreeing that it was 8. function of which any man might well feel proud to be the central gure. . rn..- .a....._..._:......... ..L,.... .. .1....:.I...:I f....L BY THE LIBERALS OF CENTRE SLVICOE.

The lower hall, office, etairways and the hall leading to the reception` parlor were all bright with hunting in red, white and blue, ags, evergreens, Chinese lanterns, etc. . But it was within the dining room the work of the decora.tors was seen to most ad- vantage, the room being quite trans- formed. The same decorations as out- side were used and the iron. pillars were bound in white around which were prettily arranged bands of peri- winkle which 0. E. Heswson had dug from beneath the snow in his garden for the occasion. At either end the windows were covered by rich curtains and large mirrors and on, the walls were a number of ne oil paintings and engravings. At the back of the chair- man Wasa. picture of Her Majesty with Gladstone and Laurier on either side. Thetables were very tastefully set out and decorated` with `plants ' and cut owers.

When the toast of The Queen had been honored with the enthusiasm which Canadians always receive the name of Her Majesty, the chairman proposed the toast of "Canada. Within the British Empire, coupling there- Mr. Dickinson called atten bion to the word- ing of the toast, alluding to the closer uniou of thecolonies with the Empire during the last year and the great ad- vantages accruing to all the members of the firm of England & Co. from this partnership. Dr. Spchn, always at home in making a speech. made a hap- py reply elaborating the idea men- tioned by the chairman and showing the proud part Canada had taken in bringingabout closer relations between the Motherland and her colonies. He. also paid a glowing tribute to the P: e- mier of Canada who most of all had done so much to cement this great union. He deploredthe attacks made on the French Canadians by the Con- servatives who themselves knew that the French were loyal. Historv showed . that they had stood nobly by Britain J. ` _ Brown, S.

The speaker eulogized Sir Oliver Mowat and Mr. Hardy and what they had done for the Province. He smiled at Mr. Whitney's prophecy that there would he a change of Gov- ernment after the next election, for Mr. Ross remembered having heard such prophecies before. The rational sober thought of the Province was with the Government, and could not be transferred to Mr. Whitney until he had some policy that appealed to the judgment and consciousness and con Science of the people of the country and up to this moment no such policy had been evolved, and there was none to other Ministers with which he had Iin sight. He explained the manner in which the Government had expended the re- venue of the Province for the de- velopment of its resources, the.educa- tionul work in Agriculture, and the improvement thereby effected in the standing of our products in Britain, and the enormous incl-ease in our ex- ports of butter, cheese and hog` pro- ducts; the proposed legislation to grant provincial aid for the improve- ment of the high roads to _m_-aricet "f\II'lI`(\ .\...A 41.... ....:-L:..- - purua UL Ullbl.!;'l', cneesc anu nog legislation provincial market towns, and the existing legislation providing for the aiding of munici- palities in the establishment of cold- storage warehouses; the proposed legis- lation to induce the establishment of of an enormous abattoir in Ontario, so as to provide for the farmers a ' constant market for their. beef and mutton--all of which would give _em~ ployment to a. great many Canadians at home. and would lead to increased prots to the farming community. "I hope we will vet he :i.hlp," onn- pi-outs [0 me mrmmg community. hope yet be able, con- tinued the Premier, to establish in Ontario :1. station for the purchase of remounts for the British at my service. That will mean that we will have a. standard of horses so high and so heavy ~ for which a. farmer, if he raises it,` will get ll. market at any hour of the day and on any day in the year, and if in that way we are able to sell 10,000 or 12,U00 horses a. year we would add im- menselv to the value of our farm produce, and to the :i.dvant:~ges of raising stock. ' - I think a. proper encouragement of the beet root sugar industry would yield it large profit to the farniers and give employment to our own people. The average` profit on an acre of beets is $20, which is more than the averaigze profit on wheat, outs or barley. It will bring capital into the country, and will make us sell`-sustaining so far as the consumption of siignris concerned. \Ve nd the soil of York, \Velland, Elgin, and Kent grows beet root con- taining saccharine matter :1. good deal 1 above the average of the beets in the ; States of the Union, and better than . the average in Germany where the in- . dustry has prospered so well. Mr. Ross also rrsfnt-1-nnl in fkn A1,... uusL1'y nus prospered Well." Mr. Ross also referred to the colon- ization policy of the Government und their action in setting aside forest reserves for future use, and to protec- tion of the lieudwuters of- streams which fertilize vast stretches and furnish power that will go :1. long way to making up for the absence of coal in Ontario. He pointed out the vast- ness of our pine and pulp resources and their boundless possibilities as sources of wealth to the people of the Province. Tn .n....l.:..... ._u ;L, , - - -- ].'l'UVllH.'C'.
