BY REV. S. J. M. COMPTON IN ST. ANDREW'S PALL. The Irish Minister of the Kirk Gave an Interesting Talk to a Large Audience on Tuesday Evening. Rev. J. 8. M. Compton, minister of St. Andrew's church, proved an- other of his accomplishments and displayed decided ability as a lec- turer, Tuesday evening, 'when he spoke on "Ireland," in the Sun- day school hall, which was well filled: The affair was under the auspices of the junior guild, The lecture was interesting, Iin- structive, and at periods, humor- ous, in the extreme, -Mr. Compton possessing an abundance of jokes, and amusing ineidents to illustrate his lecture, which was also {llus- trated by lantern views, H. Breck being the operator. Mr, Compton, in the explained the question: "Who are the Irish?" and pointed out the foundation for the fact that Ireland was the first Scotland, From views of the picturesque Lakes of Killar- ney and hills and vales, the lectur- er drew attention to the character- istics of the scenery, the tourist sought Giant's Causeway, in the north, with its remarkable features. Many of the old castles, Iimpreg- nable very often, symbolical of the s days of disturbance, were produced * on the screen, and their magnitude contrasted with the lowly homes of the peasants, The famous castle of Blarney, near Cork, with its his- toric stones, was one of these. Among many, the Irish minister showed and explained views of Dublin, its magnificent citv hall, Trinity College, Bank of Ireland, the old parliament building, and of Queen's University, Belfast, paying a high tribute to the graduates of these halls of learning, and of numerous churches, Mr, Compton touched on many of the outstanding traits in the char- acter of thé Irishman, his certain sadness at times, yet of a remark- able sunny nature, his ability of paying compliments, easy familiar- ity of manners , ready 'line of talk," warm spirit of hospitality, - and though dignified gifted with his reproachfulness. The Irish are al- so prominent in art and litera- ture, music of the heart and soul, melodies handed down from father to son, of galety and BOTTOW. Goldsmith and Moore were among the most worthy writers of days gone by; and Lady Dufferin's "La- ment of an Irish Exile," is one of the standards. The composer of that edifying selection, "There is a Green Hill far Away," was also of Irish blood, Mrs. Alexander, of Londonderry. Ireland, has also taken no meagre part in the sphere of thought, and nation and empire building jup 'to the present day. Lord Dufferin, General Sir George Smith of Ladysmith fame and Sir James Bryce, British ambassador at Washington, D.C., are products of the Irish soil. The lecturer also dealt with the religion of the isle, showing sym- bols of Druid worship, and speak- ing of the place the Irish Presby+ terian church holds in religious thought in the north, Politically, he would not commit himself. W. G. Craig capably acted in the capacity of chairman. Exception ally pleasing voeal and instrumen- tal numbers, interspersed the Irish programme, those taking part being Mrs. 8, H. Simpson. Miss Ardelle Elder, the Misses Mignon and Nore ma Telgmann, Arthur Craig and Angus Orr, On motion of John McIntyre, K. C., and PF. J. Lockett, a vote of thanks was extended to the lectur- beginning, SPORTS FOR JUNE 380 HAVE BPEN ARRANGED BY THE COMMITTEE.

A TRAGIC DEATH. G.T.R. Fireman Met Sudden End at Mallorytown. Brockville 'Recorder. A tragic death occurred on Tues- day morning, at Mallorytown, when a G.T.R. fireman, George Brown, aged twenty-five years, lost his life. The deceased left Belleville, on a freight train about 9 p.m. He was in charge of what is known as a dead engine, that is to say a ldcomotive being taken to the wrecking shop at Montreal. For some reason he left the engine at THousand lsland Junc- tion, and before he could reach his post the train pulled out. He follow- ed later on a freight which slowed up at Mallorytown to allow him to get off, as the train hau'ng the dead engine was in a siding there. There was no eye-witnesses to the accident, but it is thought that in jumping he fell upon what is known as a frog, where a switch is located, as when picked up it was found that a »por- tion of the end of the frog had pier. ced his abdomen, and that death, as a consequence, was instantaneous. His home was at Belleville. NECESSARY PAPERS ARRIVED And Prisoner Was Enrolled at the Penitentiary To-day. The necessary papers, in connection with the commitment of J. RB. MeKay, the Woodstock man, given ten years in the pehitentiary, arrived in the city, to-day, and the prisoner was en- rolled in the big prison, He is about fifty years of age, and is suffering from rheumatism, He is quite ill, and while confined at the police station, had nothing to say about the case. Mrs. William McCullough, of Belle ville, aged eighty-two years, passed away on Monday. She leaves iwo sons and three daughters. F. E.

EVER SHOWN Were Witnessed at the Grand Last Evening--Rejane in "Madame Sans-Gene," and Bernhardt in "Camille." Kingston theatregoers had the plea- sure of witnessing, at the Grand, ' Inst evening, metion pictures of the highest dramatic quality. The French- ' American film company produced films ! showing the great Bernhardt in! "Camille" and Rejane in "Madame Sans-Gene."" Both French stars are | supported by players of the highest | ability. : "Madame - Sans-Gene," the Sandou play, is a comedy with touches of | melodrama, and both species of dra- i for prizes, the different events of the {matic art are more translatable into ! meeting a couple of men whom to be arranged by the |moving pictures than is tragedy. The '%d not § Rejane films gave an extraordinaril wit which the American performances of ' 'In addition to the horse races and |the Napoleonic play missed the whole |in the future will be severdy of its subtle ly. Rejane's ' mastery of the art of por traying good-natured vulgarity, the vifgarity of people who scorn fine manners because they have more im- er been better shown. Even in her hands the court-costume sme was inevitably burlesque; but the acting of her first visit to Napoleon to col- lect her washing bill, and of the lat tor visit to foil the plot to separate her from her husband, was supremely subtle and finished, and was shown in the films with great clearness. The scenario of the play is closely follow- ed, the acting of the corporal and of Napoleon is excellent, and altogether the piece makes it most" satisfactory ""photo-play." The Bernhardt film, taken as a whole, is lees satisfactory because the Sarah voice is such a vital part of the Sarah performances. Some of the best scenes in "Camille" are lnxgely talk, and therefore to be.re- | duced to nullity in the photo-play;sthe sene with Duval Senior is a notable example. The death alone achieved full effect, and although it was all "'just pictures" there were many eyes filled with tears as the arm that had clung round Armand's neck in pas: sionate welcome slipped slowly from his shoulder to his arm and fell, in that unutterable poignant gesture that has raised a sob in millions of throats. Regarding this gesture, a dramatic critic has said : "It ls strangé 'to reflect that that gesture (s now im- mortal, and will go on vending the hearts of men and women when Bern- hardt is cold and dead and all those who saw her in the flesh along with her." There was a large audience in tendance. The same films will shown again this evening. at- be "The White Sister." Lave is the same the world over--in every land and clime--and the same emotions (hat sway the hearts ol dusky maidens of the tropics, quickens the puises of their paler northern sis- ters. Love'is the moving spirit of the world, the mainspring of its inception ~its development and its protection, and love and its attributes are the factors of interest in life, in fact and in fiction. Love is always interesting whether we revel in its activity or its passiveness. Love is the theme and motive of Viola Allen's great success, "The White Sister," in which Miss Jeanne Towler and an ceptionally fine company will be seen at the Grand Opera House on Friday, May 24th, matinee and night. NOT MUCH CHANCE Of Meat Prices Taking a Drop Yer, Says Dealer. A representative of the Whig asked a prominent butcher, to-day, if there was any chance of the price of meat taking a drop. "There is no chance of it taking a drop just yet," he remarked. "lhe price of meat is still very high to the bufchers, and as long as il remains that way there is no chance of a dropt"' At some of the local Chinese res- taurants small steaks, which have hitherto sold at 25c., have been rais- ed to 30c.

James Riddle, well up in years, is tha man '"'on the list," and he was fined $25 and costs, with the option He did not have the money and he went to jail. Riddle told the usual story Shout ° Jenow and having a few diinks out of'a bottle. The magistrate, however, is getting tired of hearing stories of this kind and all offenders dealt with, This is one of the heaviest fines imposed in some time, Riddle admitted having been at a couple of hotels but swore positively that he had nothing to drink at erth- er of them. He was closely ques- tioned by the magistrate as to the | men who gave him the liquor but he |infetmation. He was also question- ed by the court as to his movements in the city on Tuesday, but he re- fused to tell, and thus had to pay the penalty. Riddle hed a well-filled bottle of ! whiskey in his possession, and with two other men were having a great ltime in a shed on the outskirts of |the city. His friends managed to {make their escape before the police ! constable arrived upon the scene. The magistrate said he was not at all satisfied with the story Riddle told in the box and made it plain that J men on the lst must tell the = truth or be severely dealt with. Sti} Another Case. The way of the man on the "pro hibited list" is hard--that is if he is caught under the influence of liquor. Inspector Clark W. Wright, this morn- ing, had a summons issued, for a man who is on the list. The case may be heard on Thursday. THE LATE JAMES GILLESPIE, The Funeral Took Place on Tuesday : Afternoon.
