The year marks the diamond jubilee of the House of Industry, and annual meeting of the board held on Monday afternoon, Miss Machar gave the following very interesting retro- spect of the institution's pest his- ry "The fact that the present vear is the sixtieth of the existence of the House of Industry, and that there fore, this year, it attains its diamond jubilee, makes it only right and fit- ting, that a restrospect should be made of its past history, and the steps by which it has attained its present satisfactory condition. "It is not so well known_ as ijt should be, that this institution, like several others of our city charitics, owes ils first beginning to the untir- ing efforts of a devoted band of ladies --an association known as early as 1821, as the 'Female Benevolent So- ciety." This association originally fourrded and conducted what wes then the only hospital in Kingston, devel- oping eventually, into the general hos- pital, as we now know it. "About 1847, the ladies of this ciety, desiring to be relieved of the growing responsibilities of the hospi- tal, resigned their charge into the hands of the citizens, being cordially thanked at a public meeting for the 20- since 1821, and theregpon, turned their attention to meet another . wrgent need. In that of ship-fever among the newly nrrived Irish immigrants, crowded the hos- pitals with patients, left, a large number of widows crphans pendent oi public Towards of summer itewas agreed (to quote the - minutes of the F. B . that 'efforgs should be made for the establishment of a house of industry, as the most effectual rueans of afford- ing relief to the many destitute beings Mt among us by th¥ recent calami- tous season of sickness and destitu- tion, arising from the awful visita- tion of famine in Ireland." The result of these efforts was that .a building, then at the head of Princess street, was secured for the reception of dows and orphans from the emigrant sheds," under the immediate saperin- tendance of a committee of gentle- men, assisted by the ladies of the F. B. S., who 'undertook,' again in the words of their minutes, 'to devi means of employment for the inmates of the institution, and promote the and and charity le de close wi- "Having thus ¢stablish1 this much: needed refuge, the F. B, 8S, applied themselves to provide for the per- manence of the institution as 'a place of for the destitute, calculated to check imposture and mendicity," and they speedily estab- lished a school in connection with it, and provided a teacher to instruct the orphan children, who constitpled a large proportion 'of the inmates. As it was feared that the refuge might be closed for lack of funds, an earnest appeal was issued by the F. DB. 8. 'deprecating the idea of casting so many helpless beings cling to miserable and precarious mode of liv- ing about. town, in wretchedness, beg- ging and vice, or to wander throurh the country, uncertain whither to bend their steps) and urging that an effort should be made to secure a grant of land ane This memorial at least served to refuge and out a ings Hill, Esq., he could to promote its interests. "In 1532, a depittation from the F.B.S.. visited the then mayor. John Counter, Esq., 'to urge the impor- tance of measures for the prevention of street begging and other plans for ameliorating the condition of the poor." Shortly after, the ladies were requested to collect funds under the mavor's authority, for the House of Industry, and = the wife of the mavor, with Mrs. Cartwright and Mrs Machar, were requested to form them selves into a committee, in order to take up a general superintendence of the school and female department of the institution. The House of Indus- try, thus begun, has grown with the growth of 'the place, and, after one or two changes of mbode, each time se- curing more, commodious quarters, it has been, for some thirty vears past, established in a building beloneing to the city, enlarged and improved from time to time, in order to make it a more comfortable shelter for the de- stitute, aged and infirm. The most notable addition that has been made, was supplied by private liberality, viz., 'Home For The Aged," current- ly known as the "Skinner Wing." built in 1857, together with provision for its heating, the generous gift of the Jate Dr. Skinner and his family, intended as a home for aced counles, or for a more respectable class of in- digent women." * "The institution has lon~ been eco- nomically mavaged by a board, repre- senting the subsgribers and the cit: council--too economically in the past, perhaps, in early days, since about or the mainten As might be circumstances the institution ted a ver different aspect from its Present one, previous to about twenty vears ago, its ditee- tors being all busy men, and its do- mestic superintendence being often left vere much to officials.

"There is, of course, still room for improvement, more particularly in making the building warmer and in regard to care for the aged when they become helpless, for which there is no adequate provision, although the city medical health officer is always cheer- fully ready with his services when re- quired.

And it may be added, that his warm and kindly sym- pathy with the aged inmates, and his cheery visits were of even greater value than the thoughtful legacy for promoting their comfort." DEATH OF 0.

AYKROYD'S STAND Agreement--The - City Council Needs Careful Watching 'at Present. When as.ed for an espressiop re- what stand he intended to wis elected alderman for ward, vr, NS. A, Aykroyd garding take it he Frontenac said : **1 regret the presence of partyism in municipal polities, but under our pre sent system of elections it seems al- most impossible 10 keep partyism out, It is not s0 bad when partes are pretty evenly balanced; but when one side becomes so strong that at can dictate and control avic affairs, then municipal matters are often not well managed, We have had some ex- amples of this in our city council Une example that the attention of the people is called to at the presept time 18 the deal with the street rgdway company re the keeping of the streets along tne line of the track free of snow. This was a bad bargain, It seems to me that 'the council is too much one-sided. at the present time, and the citizens need to keep an eye on it. I don't say they will abuse their power, but eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, ~ "1 am a candidate for mmnicipal honors in this bye-election in rronte- nac ward," said Dr, Aykroyd, **I have been a resident of the ward for nine- teen years, but have nevir sought election. * if the electors of the ward see fit to send me as their represent- ative to the council, 1 will use my best judgment in their interests, as well as that of the whole city. Every question must be considered on its merits, and no one can say just how he will &ct or vote till a measure or a proposition is presented for con- sideration, but 1 am for progréss all along the lines in municipal affairs, and cily government, whenever pro- gress is possible, This will be an im portant sear in the citys business, and the electors should think twice before casting their ballots for me or any other candidate in this contest in Frontenac ward." [COMING HOCKEY GAMES. 14th Team Ready For Toronto St, Georges. The Toronto St. Georges-- 14th Regi- ment senior hockey game at the King- ston rink on Wednesday will be, per- haps, the best game of the season. That the teams aré evenly matched can be readily scen by the score in Toronto, when the I4th were defeated by seven goals to six. The Toronto seven feel confident that they can still win out by again defeating the sol- diers, The 14th will likely line up the same as they did in Toronto, and the Saints will have to go some to put it over them. Every man is in tine condition, and js ont to win The team will likely line up as fol- lows : Hiscock, goal; Powell, point : Vanhorns, cover; Bernier, centee: Craw- ford rover; Richardson and Kennedy, wings, : The Toronto team have lost their goal-keeper and a forward" but their plages have: been taken by gocd men The sale of seats for the same opened to-day and from present apyearances a record CL wd will be in attendance.
