She has lived in the city ‘ since her marriage, nine snort years- ago. About the first of the year. twin children were added to the home; blood poisoning set in after wards and despite the skill of three exrert medical men, a trained nurse and all the attention of her mother, the grim foe claimed her at the carlyl age of 34. She was conscious to the last and desired that her remains be brought back to dear old (:‘rlenelg. Her father, mother. brother Edward, and the bereaved husband accompan- ied the casket up by C. P. R. on Wednesday noon and on Thursday morning a large funeral followed the casket to St. John’s, where Rev. Father Hauck held impressive high mass, after which the remains of her, i which had been so beautiful in life, lwere laid to their long rest in the adjoiningcemetery. Much sympathy is felt for the family here, the be- . reaved husband and five motherless children. She was the first of the family to be wedded and the first to f’ break its ranks in death.

Goon». Ont. Another old pioneer gone from the " Apostles’ Corners ” as the farms adjacent to the 'l‘p. Hall are called. This was Mrs. John Fallice. Six. who has been a great sufferer for months! from paralysis. She was born near- ly seventy-five years ago in the chan- nel islands and has been happily wedded half a century. About 42 years ago she and her husband settled on lot 11, con. 5, and it has been their home ever since and a comfortable, old spot it has been for many years, as husband, wife and family were all frugal, most industrious and tasty in their habits. Deceased was a wo. man of more than ordinary vigor, will power and physical strength: She was a kind mother and an obligJ ing neighbor. The surviving daugh- ters. Mrs. Jas. Boke, Mrs. Robt. Boke and Mrs. Arthur Redford, of King Tp., have all been with her during the last days. while her adop- ,ted daughter.Miss M. Marklow, has ’filled more than a daughter’s place. ' Her husband aged has been very ill of late and her youngest son. John, is l in bed under doctor’s care. so trouble doesn’t come singly. But Mrs. Jas. Boke, of King. and her son, William, ably attended to all that was neces- | sary. Rev. Mr. McGregor conducted ’ the services at the home and grave I and spoke earnestly and eloquently. ' Quite a large procession followed the beautiful casket to Zion’s Acre. Old l neighbors and schoolmates sympath- lise with her aged partner and the g family bereaved. , Last Friday the Army and Navy Store was gutted by fire, and many girls and men employed in the tailor shops in the two upper floors of the building were injured. Some ten girls jumped from the second story windows into a fire net spread by the firemen below. In this way nearly. all the injuries were received. Some thirty girls were employed in' the building and started down the ner- ,;ow stairway which is about as wide 'as the sidewalk which led to upper i Durham four years ago. Some of the girls rushed down, others rushed to the front windows and jumped, after one girl breaking the glass with I her hands. There were no fire escapes at all in the building. not even a rope, the only means of exit was by the stair- way. This, is the second fire in To- ronto within a month from which people have had to jump for their lives because there were no fire escapes attached to the buildings. There are hundreds of buildings in Toronto likewise wi‘thout provision for escape in case of fire. Why this is so nobody seems to care. A law exists which says fire escapes must be attached to allsuch buildings, and there are men who are drawing sal- aries because they are supposed to enforce the law. Over in Kansas a Mrs. Nation has run againsta case of a law not being enforced. Because the saloons are run in open violation to the law she is putting them out of business by force. She is on her road to New York City where she will continue her work at the head of a determined band of her own sex. It. is to be heped she will come across to Toronto and see that the law rCSpecting fire escapes is enforced and thereby save people from being needlessly injured if not. killed.

Ellst. after a short. illness. About the st-cond week in January Mr. Mather was attacked by that very prevalentcom- plaint. La Grippe, which finally de- veloped asevere attack of Pleurisy. Although he received the very best medical attendance that could bet had, and all the attention that lov-‘ inghands could give, the flat had gone forth, and he calmly passed iaway in the hope of a glorious res- ;urrection on the date mentioned. He leaves a widow and three child- ren to mourn the loss of a kind hus- band and father. We think that we voice the opinion of the whole community when we say that he had not an enemy. As a neighbor he was reSpected by all, as an Elder in the church it will be hard to fill his place, and as a man his memory will live long amongst his many friends, both here and in his original home in Bentinck. The funeral, which took place on Saturday last, to the Priceville cemetery, was one of the largest that has ever been seen in this vicinity. Services were held in St. Columba church. Price- ville, and also at the grave, the Rev. J. A. Matheson ofiiciating at both. Jam. I’M). The annual Ineeting of the St. Col- um ha. church members and adherents was held in the church on the after- noon of Feb, 4th, 1901. presided over by the pastor, Rev. J .. A. Matheson.

Joseph Aussum. as a token of good will and apprecietion of his services as organizer of the lodge. The meeting was a. most her- monious one, and highly enjoyed by all the brethren present.
