This has caused a misunderstanding between our many relations between Kingston and Genanoque. The facts are as follows: We. were suing Ellen Dra- per of Glenburnie, for $1,000 and costs, as the endorser of a note. The maker of the note, David H. Shor- tell, of New York, wae unable to pay and judgment was obtained against him, so Miss Draper as the endorser, was liable. ¥or three years she spoke of a settlement, oity council feels that a great honor | has been brought to Canada and Kingston through Mr. Craig's iil cess. While the victories of Queen's and R.M.C, rugby teams are na- | tional, the victory of Mr. Craig is | an international event, and is a big | thing for Canada. Only a month | ago two Frontenac cheese makers | received first and third prizes at the London dairy exhibition, and one of these makers is connected with the Kingston Dalry School. The county council is showing its ap- preciation of its cheese champions in a tangible way, and the city coun- cil will recognize Mr. Craig's Heat tory by presenting him with a gold | watch at the formal opening of the Eastern Dairy School on the 10th of January by the minister of agricul- ture. Mayor Angrove will make the presentation. The Eastern Ontario Dairymen's convention will be in session here at that time. Ald. Price and Ald. Boyd both spoke in appreciation of the honor that had come to Mr. Craig in win- ning the first butter prize at the Glasgow exhibition. Mr. Craig has been a resident of Kingston nearly took the matter to court. Our law- yer, J. M. Farrell, found upon exam- ining her that she declared herself insolvent, so we went no further. The case never came to trial, and there has been no settlement. David H. Shortell is a brother to John. Patrick and Richard of Brewer's Mills. 1 trust you will correct the statement, as it is untrue and has been very misleading. JAMES H.

McEwen, a past master of Minden Masonic Lodge, writes as follows: "In your issue of the 12th inst. | in the article 'The Masonic Temple | Dedication," you state that Minden | Lodge was formed and met in the | hall over Lackie's bakery. Minden | Lodge was formed in the year 1870 but not in the Town's hall with the | other lodges for several years until | the brick building at the corner of | Wellington and Brock streets was | built by Mr. Ford, and the hall now | occupied by the Scottish Rite was | arranged especially for Minden | Lodge. The corner stone was [aid | by the officers of Minden. We re- mained there several years, then moved to the Bajus hall over La-| ckie's bakery. We moved back to the Town building In the early eigh- | ties, and remained until the Golden Lion property was rented, and ever since have met with the other lod- ges. There is only one of the ori- ginal charter members alive today, 'as far as the writer knows, John McKelvey. The lodge was an off- | shoot from St. John's. The late | G. M. Wilkinson was one of the | principal movers in the matter. His portrait now hangs in the new Tem- ple." ---------------- In the city council meeting last evening, Ald.
