CONCERT Was A Great Success From Every Point. The concert given by Kingston coun- cil, No. 20, C.O.C.F., in their rooms, last night, proved a great success, both in point of numbers present and excellence of entertainment, The hall was crowded -to the doors, and the advanced sale of tickets was stopped several days ago. The chairman of the meeting was Dr. JJ. H. Bell, grand councillor of the order, who mede a short opening speech on the benefits of the order. Those who took part in the very fine programume were Misses Laura Parkin and Rose Morrison, vocalists, and the little Misses Spoon- er, who played instrumental selections.

DAILY * ARCTIC EMPIRE A PEEP AT IT THROUGH BSO0D EYES. ---- Commander Low Describes His Travels in Esquimaux Land Enormous Northern Archi- It is farther from Toronto (lo tHe northern limits of Canada than it is to Vancouver. From the internation. al boundary to Ellesmere Land is 3,- 800 miles. The Arctic Archipelage has been mally explored by British seamen, from Sir Martin Frobisher, Queen 's old captain, in 1576, and Henty Hudson, after whom the bay was named, in 1610; Parry and Ross, in 1818; Franklin and oth- ers, down to Commander Low, who returned last year. and gave some account of his travels the other night to the members of the Canadian Club in Toronto. Canadians, he said, would welcome scientific exploration there, but wished it distinctly under- stood that uch researches would not give possession of the land ex- Tord. Canada Was to be congratu- ted on holding what she had in- herited a Britain by the discovery of sons. Mr. Low displayed a most inter- esting and artistic series of lantern slides from photographs taken in the Arctic le; one of the pictures showing "the planting of the flag on Ellesmere Land. There was no agri- culture in that latitude and never would be. But in Ellesmere Land the ice-cap was confined to the interior, and on the lowlands and along the coast there Was sufficient vegetation to feed herds of musk ox, paribou, Arctic hares and other creatures. There were also coal deposits. On Bafinland the Laurentian and Hur- onian measures contained the sanfs minerals whieh eoriched Ontario, and a mica mine thero aven now was paying a handsome profit. During the winter the Neptune, Commander Low's vessel, lay alongside an Amer- ican whaler. "They have been Ming in those waters for forty years, an it is time we Were looking after our own," he remarked. Many of the pictures illustratod Esquimaux life, several showing the building of their snow-houses, which have to be vacated every month be- cause they sink in the water, and for sanitary reasons. It is quite light inside these huts built of snow- blocks: The temperature is always below freezing, but the people are hardy, and for two years the babies wear no clothing. Cooking is done with an earthen lamp formed of a shallow pan. Fat or blubber is plac- ed in this, and all round the eircu- lar edge a wick of powdered mqss is placed, The pan grows hot endugh to melt the fat and there is no diffi- culty about keeping it going. The greatest cold experienced was 54 degrees below zero. Usually it was 25 or 30 ees below, In sum- mer the temperature was 45 or 50 degrees. In two hours two boats caught 1,000 fish weighing 5,000 pounds. Thess were Arctic = salmon; better than the British Columbian variety. The whalebone is the most valuable part of the whale. The 'bone' is the fringe from the upper jaw, and grows, when most valu- able, over ten feet long. One whale will yield as much as 1,800 pounds, and it is worth £8,800 per ton. Mr. Low said he was not there to discuss the Hudson's Bay passage, but it would save 1,000 miles rail- way haul from na to Liverpool, which, at half a cent a ton per mile, ran into millions. In ten years thers would be freight enough "for both routes, and tramp steamers, he he- lieved, could take care of the trade. Navigation was fit for these for three months and a half. The nar- rowest part of Hudson's Strait was 30 miles wide, and, owing to its shelving soundings, was safer than the St. Lawrence. Ships should not be there till July 20, though the ice breaks up earlier. The strait wag op- en till October, and no ice formed till December, but the fogs late in the season were dangerous. "There would be no advantage to the east, or to Toronto or Montreal, but IT think, we are patriotic enough," he concluded, "to approve of anything that is of advantage to our brothers in the Northwest. Any- thing that adds to their wealth will benefit 'the whole of Canadd.'s Last Surviver of Franklin Expedition. Mr. John Calder, who died a few days ago in a modest little Home in Mercer County, Ill, was the last survivor of the crew that went to the Arctic regions in search of Sir John Franklin. He was an English- man, born in 1819. In 1840 he went to sea, and after a cruise around the world he returned to England About that time an ex- pedition, headed by James Ross, wos organized to go in search of Frank- lin. Calder volunteered. The trip was without result, In 1850 a se- cond expedition was arranged and again Calder volunteered, He was made captain of the forecastle of the good ship Investigator. The ves- sel was caught and held by icebergs, and for a year Calder and his men worked and hoped for her release, but in vain. In 1852 they abandon- ed the ship and tramped across the : jee fields to Melville Island. Here they left papers to guide any rescue party thet might happen to come that way. In the meanwhile they had run short of provisions and had suffered terribly from cold and hun- ger, many having died, At last, in 1854, they were picked up by two vessels, the Repolute and Intrepid, that had been sent in search of them. But they had not #ailed fifty miles when the fleet was caught in an ice fice. All through the winter they stayed there. In the summer of 1855 the ships were abandoned and the luckless adventur- ers made their way on foot to Point Beachy. By a chances good fortune the steamer North Star found them there and took them back to Eng- land. Calder had been absent five years. For his pluck the British Gov- ernment presented him with two gold medals Simple Sabtrastion. Sunday School Teacher---Now, Wil lie, how many commandments are there?

Slack, Montreal, INDIANS MIX WITH WHITES, ---- In Five Generations Twe Races Will Ne Fused Together, Mr. Cockshutt, Brantford, gave some interesting information about our Indian Wards in The House of Commons the other day. He assured the House that the money voted for the Mohawk (Institute had been wisely and well expendod, and if all the money voted for Indian educa- tion had heen as well expended no fault could be found with the ad. ministration of the fund. With re spect to the progress made by the In. dians as a result of educational el. forts, Mr. Cockshutt regarded it as satisfactory. As to the future of tho Indian race, Mr. Cockshutt was of the opinion that the Six Nations will ultimately become absorbed into the Canadian mation. White blood is now ko completely infused into the race that there are comparatively few of pure Indian blood left. With- in probably three generations, or five at the most, the process of absorp= tion will have been completed at the rate it is now proceeding. Young In dians who were educated at the Mohawk Institute have been very successful, and he mentioned by way of illustration several who occupy important positions in commercial and other walks of life. The result of the adoption of the Provincial fran. chise had been to deprive the Indians of the Six Nations, in common with those of other tribes, of the fran. chise. This he regarded as a step in the wrong direction, inasmuch as the Indians were to be advanced in civil. zation largely by placing upon them the full responsibility of citizenship. i ---------------- i ---- Germany, and ONLY "with ots High Class ¢ Embroideries fAnd 3 i Insertions ~~ # WY : ) We have, without doubt, the largest most attractive showing of high class needlewa {7 maker, which means a saving to you of fror % = ever exhibited in your city.
