Kingston, Oct, 12.-{To the Editor) : To a stranger to Queen's, the contributed artiele appearing in your Saturday's issue on the early history and growth of the institution, would convey a very wrong impression. From reading the description there given under 'Chairs And Their Occupants," it would na turally be inferred that the only "chairs" possessed by Queen's in these early times were classics and philoso- phy, and this impression would scar- cely be corrected by anything that appears afterwards. Now | have known Queen's pretty intimately for forty years, and 1 have a very vivid recol ection of all her men during that time, and of the work that sie has been doing, and although her early years were passed in poverty of differ ent kinds, she was never so poor as to be limited to two "chairs" in her arts subjects since I first knew her. I came to Queen's when she was un- der the leadership of Dr. Leitch, who, however, died in the second year of my residence here, and under Dr. Leitch 1 became assistant to De. Williamson in the astronomical observatory, Dr. Leitch, although a clergyman, was a scientific man, imbued with the true scientific spirit, and employing his spare time in working on scientific'sub jects. It was under him, and through his influence, that chemistry and the natural science of botany, animal biology, mineralogy and geology were made parts of the university arts' course; for chemistry, under Dr. Law son, whom I knew very well, was taught to medical students before be coming an arts' subject. Queen's, then, as early as the time of Dr. Leitch, and for several years be fore any of its present staff, except mysell, were connected with it, had four quite distinct "chairs" or de partments of study in her course in arts. These were as follows : 1, Classics, including Latin and Greek, under Prof. Weir. 2, Philosophy, Logic and English Literature, presided over by Rev Prof. Murray. 3, 'Mathematics, and Physics or Na tural Philosophy as" it was then call ed, under the guidance of Dr. William son. 4, Chemistry, and Natural Science comprising Botany, Zoology, Minera logy and Geology, under Prof. Bell, at present director of the geological sur vey. These form the great bulk of the subjects now belonging to her arts' course, and they were all compulsory, so that as far as the number of sub jects was concermed, and in most cases as far as the teaching was con werned, Queen's was as well off as any university in the land, although as a matter of course the professors were poorly paid and had too much to do. The expansion and completion of the university arts' subjects, and the con sequent growth of the university staff should be of some interest at this par ticular tinkezamd 1 give it With your permission. I make no remarks as to the character of any of the men who have come and gone, or are still with us, with respect to scholarship or ability as teachers, for all such re- marks coming from me I would look upon' as invidious, and I consider it very bad taste that any member of the staff or anyone intimately con- nected with the staff should publicly sing the praises of individual and par ricular members of the staff. All such praise should come from disinterested parties. , Classics, Weir, set aside hy the trustees on, account of internal trou bles in the college; Ross, filled out Weir's session; cKerras, held office until bis death; Woods a locum tene us for one year; Fletcher, during his time the department was divided be coming 1, Latin, Fletcher, resigned to take a position in Toronto; Glover, resign ed to take a position in Cambridge, Eng.; Pike. a Greek, WMacnaughton, resigned to tuke a position in Montreal; Callan der. 11, Philosophy and English Litera ture, Murray, resigned to take a posi tion in Montreal; the department was Rev.

D. Laing spoke on "The Sunday School the Hand maid of the Home." The parents' stand at the dawn of reason and in telligence in the child. lt is their pric vilege to make the indelible impress of trath. The Sunday school will prove a helpful auxiliary in moral and religious development. > In the evening the topic was 'The Sunday School as a Means of Child Saving." Some of the' statements were : Every Sunday school should be @ missionary society, putting forth efiort to save the children- of Christ less homes. The hopeful time for such is the time of babyhood. Ten sume mers of godless street life, puts the boy beyond the reach of Sunday school influence, and does much to insure his ruin. Blighting influences meet the boy on every hand. There are the saloon, vile literature, the guming table, evil associates, the pool rooms where hundreds of our city boys spend their evenings to their own undoing, Through these and other means the unrescued hoys gra- duate for the penitentiary, where you find some 500 male to fifty female con victs. Our women and girls throng our churches, and our men and boys throng our jails and penitentiaries. On a well-founded statistical estimate there are 2,000 young men in our rity who attend no religions service. Where do these come from ? The homes. The commendable efforts of the Y.M.C.A. to reach and save these, come too late. They might have been reached and saved by the Sunday school, in their early boyhood. The proportion of non-religious men will not diminish unless we reach the boys in the dawn of their boyhood. The Gibson act, passed in 1892, provides for the separation of children from homes unfit to care for them. Since that time the Children's Aid Society has placed 2,000 rescued children in foster homes. Many men now behind prison bars would have been useful and respected members cf society if they had been taken in hand by Christian influence in bovhood. What a large field of usefulness is open for Sunday school What is needod ? Consecrated Christian workers. Will it pay? At the lowest estimate from seventy-five to eighty per cent. of all who become members of Protestant churches, come in through the Sunday school. Christ waits to receive the children. Let Christians, in love, seek out the ne ¢lscted ones and bring them to His fold. Save the children and our jail population will diminish. effort. PRINCESSES ARE ATHLETIC, Several Blue-Blooded Women Not Bound By Conventions. Chicago Chronicle Many of the royal women of Eur- ope have from time to time distin- guished themselves in the domain of athletic sports. Queen Alexandra has always been an advocate of games and athletics for girls if kept within reason. She her self was very fond of all outdoor games as a child. In running she was as swift of foot as Atalanta, and skating came as naturally to her as walking. "Never," wrote ap enthusi astic admirer of her, the mother of the then rector of Sandringham, "did our dear princess look more graceful and fairy-like than when skimming over the ice on her skates. She seem ed to express the poetry of motion." Although fond of riding, the queen, owing to the necessity of sitting on the wrong side of the saddle; has not been a great horsewoman. Driving was at one time a very favorite am- usement with her, and people living around Sandringham used to watch for the pretty pair of grays she tool ed along so deftly. On one of her birthdays a little carriage with four ponies was given her by the emperor of Russia, and she drove these either fotir abreast or in the usual fourin hand style.

There is only one placq in the world where the suf sets twice daily, and that is at leek, in Staffordshire, Fng. The reason of this is that a jagged mountain is situated to the west of the town, and in the evening the sun eots behind it. and darkness comes on. Then the first sunset occurs, the gas lampe are lit, and apparently nignt has set in. But it has not, for in the space of an hour or so the sun reap- pears again through the opening at the side of the mountain, and day- light again appears. Artificial lights are extinguished and daylight again | prevails until the sun descends beldw the opening and the second sunset ve curs and night comes to stay. ------------------ Cheap Hickory Nuts. quart or peck.

All Elements ' of Romance--Man Accidentally Discovered Where- abouts of Former Sweetheart " and Renewed Courtship. Sydney, N.S.W,, Oct. 12.--Al] the ele ments of a romantic novel are to - be found in a story that comes from Orange, in New South Wales. It is a tale of two lovers, after an os trangement lasting bali a century, meeting and marrying in remark circumstances. Fifty years ago Jane Graham and David MeMurtrie was lovers in their native town of Ayr, in Scotland. In 1853 a disagreement arose between them and they parted, never to each other again until a week a when they were married During thin long interval until the beginning of the present year ther were in entire ignorance of "each other's whereabouts or fortune. Several curious coincidences tincture the romance. After the estrange- ment, it appears that Miss Gralinm married John MoMurtrie, also of Ave, but no relation of David McMurtrie, The young couple came to Australia, and after years of pioneering settled at Orange, where they reared thirteen children. John MeMurtrie died seve ral years ago, but his widow, who is a great-grandmother, still resides in the district. David McMurtrie, the hero of the story, also married in the fifties, and bocame the father of eleven children. He is now grandfather. In November last be visited Queensland to see one of his sons who had settled there, and eventually, on January 10th last, he departed on his return to Scotland. On the same boat were two sons of | John McMurtrie, and one day, while at Melbourne, a letter addressed to "Mr. McMurtiie" armived. It was for the McMurtrie, of Scotland, but it | was delivered to one of the younger | men, who opened it and found that it | was not meant for him Eveptually the owner received Lis letter, and made enquiries. These | revehled that there were others of his | name on board. From them he learn- ed that their parents were born in Avr, and that their mother's name was Jane Graham. In tum he told of his courtship in the vear 1853, and asked the young men to send to their mother a photograph of himself with a request that she would write to him. A correspondence between the old | lovers followed. He proposed mar riage, and she accepted him, and a week ago he stepped ashore at Sydney from the steamship Gera. Waiting for him on the wharf was his old love of 1853. That same evening they were married. . INCIDENTS OF THE DAY, Wewsy Paragraphs Picked up by Reporters on Their Rounds.

CQ, H, Gau- thier, D.1., arrived at Erinsville, ¥Fri- day morning, October 2nd, for the purpose of administering the sacra- nwnt of confirmation to the children, as well as for giving public. approba- tion t6 the important work which, during the past two years, had heen well and ably done for the church in this parish. He was accompanied by the Rev. Fathers Davis, Hogan and Hanley, and was met at. the station by the pastor, Rev. Thomas Carey, together with Rev. Fathers Hartigan and Twomey, * and the entire Songive gation, all of whom, headed by Citizens' band, of Enterprise, Dy ra the archbishop's carringe to the pres bytery Vested in cape with crozier and mitre, his grace, preceded by the cross-bearer, acolytes and clergy pre- sent, proceeded to the church, where the prayers, prescribed by the ritual, were recited. Confessions' were heard Friday afternoon and evening; again throughout the entire day on Satur« day and on Sunday morning and dur- ing the triduum fully five hundred peo- ple went to confession and holy com: munion. Promptly at ten o'clock, Saturday morn ng, the archbishop proceeded to the church for examination of the children' in catechism. The children re- cited first of ull, the ordinary form of prayers and to the questions of the catechism, . as well as to the many other practical questions put to then, they gave prompt and correct answers slieigiag front his grace unstinted praise for the exceptional manner in which they had been prepared for confirmation. The archbishop brated the holy sacrifice of the mass, Sunday morning, at JE 30 o'clock, at tended by the pastor" High mass at 10:30 o'clock was sung by Rev. A. Hanley. At the end of mass, the archbishop ascended the altar and af ter some complimentary allusions to the choir and the genuine pleasure ex- perienced by him in secing the people approaching in such large numbers to the holy table, he held for almost an hour the rapt attention of the very lagge congregation present hy an elo: quent discourse on the devotions of the church andgparticularly on those of the holy wa¥ of the cross and of the holy rosary. Then, after publicly expressing the pleasure he felt at the correctness of the children's - knowledge of their ca- tochism and placing before them the necessity for good example on the part of the parentd and exacling of children, a two-fold pledge hi) to He tend catechism class in church or in some place designated by the pastor, every Sunday for the tern of one year; (2) to abstain from all intoxica- ting liquors until they shall have com pleted their twenty-first year. The archbishop administered confirmation to a class of ninety-one children. The archbishop then ascended the throne and an address of congratulation was read to him by John Killorin, and signed by John Killorin, Thomas Kil lorin, Dennis Kearns, J ames Farrell, Richard Mahoney, and Patrick Lovick Reference was made to the happy rule of his grace and the advancement made in. the diocese. The local re- sults of labor in removing debt was given due largely to the emergy, tact, and administrative ability of Father Carey. "Replying to the address, at consid erable length, the archbishop thanked them for the enthusiastic reception tendered him. During his second visi tation of the diocese, being perfectly satisfied of the loyalty and affection of his people, he had not, he said, been receiving welcomes of this nature; in fact, he had asked the priests not to tender them, but, because of the request of this good pastor, and of the important work which had been accomplished in this parish, he felt, he must yield to their wishes. He thank- ed them for their kind reference to his recent illness, Through Godls good: ness to him--due, no doubt, to the prayers of his people everywhere in the diocese, his health had been com: pletely restored, Everywhere, he ac, knowledged, good work was being done--churches, schools and presby- teries built and what was better, be ing paid for, and the spiritual pro- gress of the diocese was keeping pace with the material. Here in Erinsville, splendid work had been done, and as heir archbishop he was proud of it. if anybody would tell him three years ago that so much would be accom: plished in so short a time, he would be disinclined to believe him. But the work was done und $0,000 paid out in cash, and this did not include the stone, nor the large amount of ex cavating under church and house, nor the teaming or drawing of the mate rial necessary--all of which was vol untarily labour , on the part of the congregation. It would not, said the archbishop, be going too far to place the talue of the work at $12,000, This work has been done and now almost paid for, leaving only a small debt of ¥1,071.39. He encouraged the priest and peopls to continue along. the same lines by mutually sisting one another, he said much more 'would be yet accom: plished for the well-being of the par ish In conclusion - the archbishop blessed the congregation. The church was beautifully decorat od for the occasion. Mrs. Denis Kearns has presented a stained glass window to the church for the repose of the soul of her bro ther, Edward Kehoe. Her good exam: ple, no doubt, will be followed by many others.
