FATHER --MWIEAHS =o |city Solicitors of * Kingston | i and London Agree on | Matter. | The London, Ont., Advertiser has the following: "Because City Solicitor T. G. Mere- dith and the city solicitor of King- {ston both have decided that fire { trucks have no more right to exceed the speed limit under existing regu- {lations than any other citizens, Lon- | don will join with other Ontario mu- nicipalities in asking the Government { to change this state of affairs. It is | considered vital that the fire depart- | ment make the highest possitle speed .n going to a fire, as when it is res- | tricted to twenty miles an hour on I | the streets, and ten miles an hour at intersections the city is seriously J iutersestions in keeping down its fire i "It is not thought likely 'that any- { one will prosecute the city if the de- i | partment exceeds the speed limit, but should an accident occur it might be held liable for injuries to persons or | damage to property.

"Under permissive legislation in | 1910 councils were given the right to pass by-laws giving to fire depart- ments the right-of-way over all other traffic when responding to an'alarm. Under that authority a number of municipalities passed the necessary by-law, and the chiefs have been un- der the impression that they had the right to travel as fast as possible when answering an alarm. "Two recent accidents, one in Lon- don, and the other in Kingston, brought the opinion from the city solicitors of both places that fire de- partments have not this right. This was also the opinion of one of the judges before whom the case was tried here. "Locally the matter has been re- ferred to Mr. Meredith. At Kingston it has been taken up with the mem- ber of the legislative assembly for that city. He will arrange a confer- ence with the Hon. F. C.

To Celebrate Fiftieth Anni- versary of Ordination on the 17th. Rev. Father Charles A. McWil- liams, who has been under the gnd-! ly care of the sisters of the House of: Providence, will celebrate the fif- tieth anniversary of . his ordination to the priesthood on Friday, 17th in- stant, Father McWilllams was born in Burlington, Vermont, and at an early age took up his studies in the Mont- real College, where he achieved dis- tinction for general proficiency. Leav- ing there he entered St. Charles' Col- lege, in Baltimore, afterwards return- ing to Montreal, where he followed the theological course in the Grand Seminary. He was ordained to the priesthood in St. Mary's Cathedral, Kingston, by the late Bishop Horan, on December 17th, 1870. After a short time in the cathedral, Father McWilliams was appointed curate to the late Dr. Chisholm, Perth, where he labored for a short time with great success. He was at- terwards appointed parish priest of Railton, which at that time com- prised also the outlying missions of Amherst Island, Bath, Odessa, and Sharbot Lake. Here for upwards of twenty-five years he labored in b's priestly calling, and won the good | will not only of his parishioners, but of all those of other denominations | with whom he came in contact. For | several years he was in charge of the i parish of Spencerville, and the work | accomplished there spoke well for his | priestly zeal. During later years Father McWil- | liams was attached to the staff of Ct. | Mary's cathedral, and now in his de-7¥ clining years, is enjoying the fruits of a well spent life. Father McWilliams was called to act as spiritual adviser to Louis Rell, who was executed at Regina in 1885 for his part in the North West Rebel- lion. While in college in Montreal a warm friendship was formed between these two, and it was this friendship which prompted the unfortunate Reil to send for his old college friend to attend him in his last moments, Fa- ther McWilliams responded to the call, ahd hurried to the far western city where the friend of his early days was already under the shadow of the scaffold. He remained by the side of the unfortunate man until the end, accompanying him to the scaffold. A close friendship always existed between Father McWilliams and the late Sir John A. Macdonald, and one of the big events in the Railton district in the old days was the an- nual pifnic of the parish, at which Sir John was always a guest. On one of his annual trips to his home in the Vermont Hills "Father Mac" brought with him some pota- toes which he proudly declared were the best in the world. These he dis- tributed among his parishioners at Railton, for the purpose of improv- ing the crop. The experiment was a success, the potatoes turned out to be a wonderful improvement, and there is scarcely a farmer in that dis- trict who to-day, has not still some of "Father Mae's" potatoes.

Fire Chief James Armstrong has received the following communica- tion re Christmas decorations frem Secretary John Robertson, of the Fire Underwriters' Association of On- tario: "Following usual customs of this season of the year, I beg to call your attention to the danger to life and property from Christmas decorations, displays, etc., which are frequently made at this time of the year. Christ- mas displays are made of inflamma- ble matdrials and are a decided in- crease of hazard to all, especially where they are draped around elec- trical fixtures. "It is SgmELY to the statutory conditions any fire insurance pol- icy to have decorations around elec- trical fixtures, and the fire insurance company will not bé responsible if a fire occurs, "In addition to the danger to pro- perty from displays referred to, the danger to life in crowded stores or places of meeting by reason of panic occasioned by fire, is so great that the underwriters, who have made a study of such hazards, would fail in their duty should they not give this warning." Dear Santa: Would you please bring me a hockey stick and a run- away team and a pair of skates and some other toys. Would you please bring me a drum and some story books. I hope you are feeling well. I have felt well so far and I hope your reindeers will be feeling well for the trip. I am a pretty good boy and I think this is all I'll say this time, so good-bye. I hope you will enjoy yourself. Yours truly, Carl Davis, 210 Union street. Dear Santie: I am only a little girl. I can't write by myself so my mother has to help me move the pencil. Will you please send me a doll and carriage, a few candles, an orange and a sewing box. Thank- ing you, dear Santa, for the nice things you brought us last year.

The fog on the lake was so heavy on Thursday morning 'that the steam- er Missisquol, which cleared for Cape Vincent, had to return to the whart. The captain, when speaking to the Whig stated that the fog was so dense that he could not see more than ten yards ahead of the steamer. It was expected that the steamer Wolfe Is- lander, which went to the foot of the island, would experience the same difficulty. It is the intention of the cwners of the steamer Missisquoi to take her off the cape route on Satur- ay.
