It may not be out of place to add a word in regard to the very general apâ€" preciation felt for the excellent serâ€" vices given by Miss Stevens during the time that she has been the Victorian Order Nurse here. She has given the most unselfish interest and energy to the work and in addition her skill and talent have won very general approval. Those who have noted the amount of work she has done and the gifted way in which she has carried through her duties will regret the expectation of her leaving here. Miss Stevens has won a wide measure of high regard and popularity by her excellent serâ€" vices as V. O. N. nurse in Timmins. The late Andrew Allen Raeburn, who resided at 111 Avenue road, had been a resident here for some two years past and during that time had made wide circles of friends by his high characâ€" ter and fine manhood. He had been a valued and popular employee of the McIntyre Mine where he was in charge of the firing of the boilers. He is surâ€" vived by his widow who is at presens critically ill with typhoid fever. Her sister came down last week from the West and is nursing her at present. Two sisters of the late Mr. Raeburn also came here from Toronto last week on hearing of his death, and accomâ€" panied the remains to Bancroft where burial was made. He is also survived by his parents who live in Scotland. The late Mr. Raeburn came to Canad from Glasgow. 3 The funeral of the late Andrew Alâ€" len Raeburn, who died last week at the hospital from typhoid fever took place on Sunday morning, the body being taken to the 11.40 train for shipâ€" ment to Bapci‘oft, Ontario, the home of Mrs. Racbhurn. The Masonic brethren of the town and district attended the funeral in a body in honour of their departed brother. The general meeting of the Lanca«â€" shire Football Club was held over the weekâ€"end in the Hollinger Recreation hall, with a good attendance. Mr. G. Jopson occupied the chair. The seâ€" cretary, W. A. Devine, presented the financial report for the season which showed a bank balance of $77.00, this amount proving satisfactory to the club. The report of the season‘s activities was also presented, and met with genâ€" eral approval. Some discussion took place with regard to some compensaâ€" tion claims unpaid, and these were held over until after the local league meetings. Owing to this situation the officers for the season were not elected, this being held over until the claims are settled by the committee in charge last season. Owing to the absence of the presiâ€" dent, Mr. Dve, who was called out of town, the meeting was quite informal. Funeral of the Late A. . A. Raeburn on Sunday Lancashire Football (’h}b/ Had Successful Season The secretary said he was greatly disappointed at the small turnâ€"out at the meeting, as he had mailed some fiftyâ€"odd notices, and also The Advance had kindly advertised the meeting in its last issue. Another member reâ€" marked that the early time had been tried for meetings and now the later hour without getting much support. At the meeting which took place in the clinic room at 8 p.m. on ‘*Monday, March 4th, a letter was read from head office, Ottawa, advising the committee that a relief nurse to Miss Stevens was now available and would be sent to Timmins upon request. Replying to the question if she desired to leave imâ€" mediately Miss Stevens said that she had written Ottawa in December to say that it would be agreeable to her to wait until Miss Eliott returned, but word had now been received that the latter‘s return was very problematical, and under such circumstances she would be glad to go as soon as arrangeâ€" ments could conveniently be made. Replying to further questions Miss Stevens candidly admitterl that alâ€" though she had been well received and had enjoyed her work while n Timmins yet she found that the nervous strain was playing very much on her health. She did not think that at the moment two nurses were required to carry on, but the time. was rapidly approaching when the question would have to be considered, On motion of Mr. Jamieson, it was decided, subject to the approval of the president, to accede to the request of head office and Miss Stevens. The prospects look very bright for a good season for the club; several new faces will be on the team; and the members are confident that the team will be one of the best that they have ever fielded. Miss Stevens, Who has Given Such Exâ€" cellent Service Here, Finds Work Very Onerous A dance will be held on Thursday, March 14th, in the Hollinger Recreaâ€" tion hall, with Tommy Stephens proâ€" viding the music.

Interâ€" ment was made in the family plot where four generations are buried. In referring to the death of Judge Kehoe The Ottawa Journal on Monday | of this week said:â€"‘"He was on the | bench for 21 years and was regarded as | an authority on mining and other laws. \Very few of his decisions during his ‘judgeship failed on appeal. He was also noted as an orator; an authority on British constitutional law and pracâ€" tice and for his rare Irish humour. His Honor took a deep interest in comâ€" \ munity affairs in Sudbury, during the E war. His wide knowledge of the French language served him well in districts very largely populated with French Canadians, His Honor being frequentâ€" ly called upon to conduct courts in French." He received his preliminary educaâ€" tion at Ottawa University, this college later recognizing his high standing in his profession and his services to the state by cqnferring on him the degree of Doctor of Laws. After graduating from Osgoode Hall, Toronto, he went to Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., where after a partnership in the law firm of Kehoe and Hamilton, he was appointed Crown Attorney for the District of Algoma. This position he held for the long perâ€" iod of twentyâ€"four years with satisâ€" faction to the people and credit to himâ€" self. In 1908 he was appointed the first Judge of the District of Sudbury, and during the past 21 years he has been one of the true ornaments of the Canadian Judiciary. He took a deep interest in community affairs in Sudâ€" bury, especially during the war years, and his fine services were of especial value. The late Judge Kehoe was born in Ottawa 75 years ago, and had a long and distinguished career at, the Bar and on the Bench. He was an orator of especial gifts and was noted as an authority on British jurisprudence and British constitutional law and practice. He was in great demand as a speaker on these subjects, and was also proâ€" minent as an accepted authority on mining laws. His Honour Judge John James Kehoe, first Judge of the District of Sudbury, and father of Frank J. Kehoe, barrisâ€" ter and solicitor, of Timmins, died at Whitby, Ontario, on Sunday morning, March 3rda, following a brief illness. A. Nadeau, a man employed in one of the mines and living at Schumacher, was given. a term of two months in jail for illegally possessing gold ore. Nadeau, who is about 30 years of age, was arrested last week on the complaint of Officer R. Allen. When he was searched before being put in the cells a quantity of gold, valued at around $200.00 was found on him. A search of his place of residence disclosed a furâ€" ther quantity of gold ore. The materiâ€" al found on Nadeau at the time of his arrest was all ready for marketing. The ore found at his residence had not been treated. Nadeau pleaded guilty. An inquest was held on Friday last in the death of Pete Dubuis, who died at the hospital here, following his arâ€" rest after an alieged altercation when he was intoxicated. The jury‘s verdict was to the effect that death was dus to a ruptured bladder, the cause of this being unknown. There had been ruâ€" mofirs to the effect that the man had been kicked and that this may have caused his death. The evidence went to show that no one knew of any such injury given him. The evidence of the doctor and the undertaker was to the effect that the body bore no evidence of any such injury as suggested by the rumours. The urffortunate man had been arrested following a disturbance due to a belief that he had wrongfully taken some money belonging to anâ€" other man, the latter admitting that he had slapped Dubuis, but this man and other witnesses agreeing that this had been all that had occurred and that Dubois had not been harmed. After the charge of theft had been made the police were notified and Dubois had been arrested, being sent to the hosâ€" pital as soon as the police saw that he was ill when he sobered up. JUDGE J. J.

This will be another "All Irish" night. It will be remembered that last year the Kiwanis Club had an "Irish" session that pleased all and proved of vâ€">ry special interest. The "Allâ€"Irish" meeting on Monday, March 18th, is expected to even exceed the success of the previous o€casions of this kind. Arrangements and plans are now beâ€" ing made for these evening meetings and it is expected that they will prove unusually popular Dan Warren Dies on Sunday Afternoon Funeral at Toronto on Tuesday This Week Word was received in town this week of the death at Hamilton on Sunday afternoon of Mr. Dan Warren, a former popular resident of Timmins and the Porcupine. No details were given as to the death further than information that the funeral would take place on Tuesday to Mount Pleasant cemetery, Toronto. For the following month, the evening session will be on Monday night, April ist. Naturally, it will be an "All Fool‘s Day" event, and will lend itself to a programme that will be of very partiâ€" cular interest. For the month of May there will alâ€" so be an evening meeting, this being likely held as a "May Day" night. The late Dan Warren, who was about 40 years of age, was one of the most popular of the early residents of the camp. He was for many years a salesman ~with the Northern Canada Supply Co., later becoming manager of the comzany‘s store at Timmins. He was at South Porcupine in the early days of the camp and made hosts of friends to whom his death will come as a decided shock. For a number of years he was manager of the Northern Canada Supply Co. store at Timmins, later, in partnership with Harold Finlay opening a hardware store on Third avenue in the former Northern Canada Supply Co. store. He was a salesman of very special ability and had a genius for making friends. After leaving here some years ago he was travelling repreâ€" sentative for the Northern Canada Supply Co., and later for another big firm. He leaves a widow and three children, to whom the deep sympathy of hosts of friends in this district will be extended. At the regular weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis Club on Monday at the Empire hotel, it was decided to hold a number of evening meeting at the rate of one a month. These evening meetâ€" ings will be specially attractive and will be open to the friends of members of the club and so will probably: draw especially large attendances.

LORD HAILSHAM The latest picture of Lord Hailsham Lord Chancellor of Great Britain. pine Mobantse .Bowles Lunch Opemng | Here in May, It is Said The game at Sudbury on Monday night was played on soft ice and this seemed to leave Troquois Palls at a disadvantage. _ The Wolves played much better hockey on their own ice than they had shown at the Falls the previous Thursday. At the end of the first period Sudbury was leading with a 3â€"0 score. The second period went by without either side being able to score. In the third period the Wolves scored once more, while Wimperis, on a pass from Wilson, scored the one for Falls that saved them a return of the whitewash they had handed Sudbury last week. O‘Connor figured in three of the goals secured by Sudbury, scorâ€" ing one and giving the pass for the other two. Daley made a nice count for Sudbury after a clever solo rush. Huggins and Evans looked the best for the FPalls team according to the Sudâ€" bury fans, the defence being the strong part of the team as shown by the play on Monday. At Toronto, however, it XH] be shown that Iroquois Falls has a lot re than a strong defence. The North is all behind the Eskimos in their coh{est in the South and are bicking them to win, knowing in any event they will worthily uphold the hockey honours of the North. The lineâ€"up for Monday night‘s game:â€" lar ownership and were successfully conducted on the chain store plan. In groceterias, Timmins is now well represented with chain store branches, having the Pioneer Groceteria, Eaton‘s, the Dominion Stores, and the Loblaw‘s and the Metropolitan also about to enâ€" ter the field, or at least considering the matter, according to current reâ€" ports. The latest report as to a new business to be opened in Timmins is to the efâ€" fect that Bowles Lunch purpose startâ€" ing here on or about May ist. While no official announcement has been made, the report is made wtih apparâ€" ently good grounds for credence. Bowles Lunch has a chain of cafeterias in Toronto, and it is said that the cafeterias are following out the chain Iroquois Falls senior hockey teim, the: Eskimos, are champions of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association league, and have won the right to go to Toronto for the finals Thursday night last at the Falls they won from Sudbury by the score of 8 to 0, and this big lead gave them the victory in the round. It was expected by many that they would have a much harder batâ€" tle in the return game at Sudbury Monday night, but few thought they would lose the Monday game. This, however, is just what happened, the Wolves on their own Sudbury ice takâ€" ing the Eskimos into camp for a score of 4 to 1. This makes the score 9 to 4 on the round and thus leaves the Eskimos as champions of the North and contenders for the Ontario honâ€" Eskimosâ€"Goal, Kerr; deferce, Hugâ€" gins and Evans; centre, Trottier; wings, Fraser and Chircoski; alternates, Pendâ€" er, Wilson and Wimperis.

Hulme and Jack Forbes, who made the ski trip from Timmins to Toronto, and who, according to the Toronto newspapers, had decided to continue on to Chicago on skiis, last week had to abandon the project on account of lack of snow in the south. They left Toronto on skiis and sucâ€" ceeded in reaching Hamilton first and then London by this mode of travel. On account of the lack of snow and the presence of mud along the route the skiis had to be taken off at Lonâ€" don. The skiis were shipped back north and Messrs Hulme and Forbes continued their journey to Chicago by the hitchâ€"hike plan. They arrived in Chicago on Sunday morning, accordâ€" ing to reports reaching here and will visit friends and relatives there for a time. Their arrival back in Timmins is awaited with some interest in view of the fact that reports have been vurrent to the effect that the actual trip from Timmins to Toronto was not made altogether on skiis, This may be only idle rumour, in which case an emphatic denial from the skiers will be in order in this particular.
