On his mother's side he came of United Empire Loyalist stock. He. was the son of the late Henry Gildersleeve who came to Kingston in 1816 to as- | sist in building the Frontenac, the first steamboat launched on Lake Ontario by his wife, Sarah Finkle, In Kingsion on October 17th, 1833, C, F. Gildersleeve was born. He was a called to the agemen business in which ' his since 1817, In hix marine career, Mr. Gilder sleeve built and owned the steamers Cotinthian, Norseman, Maud, Welsh- man, and North King. He also owned the steamers Empress, Bay of Quinte, Hastings and Hero, the jatter being the best known to this generation. The routes on which those boats were engaged were between Rochester, Port Hope, Bay of Quinte ports and King- t on, In 1893, Mr, Gildersleeve formed the Lake Ontario & Bay of Quinte Steam- boat company, which took over the steamers owned by him, he becoming first manager of the company. In March, 1804, Mr. Gildersloeve was appointed general manager of the Richeliea & Ontario Navigation Co., which had its headquarters at Mon. treal, and which controls thy through passenger traffic by water between To- ronto, Montreal, Quebec and the Sag- Venay "wiver. In this position, he showed hig yarine genius, For eight years, prior .to his appointment, that company's business had yielded no dividends to its shareholders. The first year of his management yielded vastly improved results and ever since, the shareholders have received good di- vidends., Through his efforts the ser vice was made one of the most offi- cient in the world, He advocatgd the construction of several large and the result was building of the Toronto, Kingston and the Montreal, passenger steamers that cannot cellod, After ten years' splendid ser vice with the Richelieu and Ontario company, he retired, and returned: to his old home, Kingston, where ho since looked after the interests of the Bay of Quinte Navigation company, as pre- sident and general manager. The lat- ter position had heen held by his son, H. H. Gildersleeve, who is now gener- al manager of the Northern Naviga- tion company, at Collingwood.

In the establishment of the King "ston School of Mining Mr. Gilder was active in the municipal affairs of Kingston, He served as alderman for twenty-two years, and was mayor in 1879.

Gaskin, with whom Mr. Gil- dersleeve was long identified in muni- cipal matters, stated to-day that Kingston never had a better citizen than Mr. Gildersleeve. He was liked hy evéryone. "Il was a great admirer of him," said Capt. Gaskin. 'He and I sat in the city council for years, and I found Him a man of wisdom and energy. When the late 'Mr. Bertram died, I advocated Mr, Gildersleeve for the chairmanship of the transporta- tion commission, for he was one of the foremost transportation authori ties in this country." Joseph Bawden, barrister. said that Kingston had lost one of her most able sons, by the death of Mr. Gilder- slebve. He was most unselfish, and was always working in the interests of this city. The latest scheme he mooted, viz, the Kingston and Smith's Falls railway, giving King- direct with Ottawa, was one that would be of inestimable value to this city. Mr. Gildersleeve was a man of great foresight, one who had no peer as a Canadian transportation authority. Dr. R. T. Walkem, K.C., made the following statement : "The late C. F. Gildersleeve was one of my earliest friends in the city of Kingston; in fact it was at his instance that | stayed in the city and went into part- nership with his brother, J. P. Gilder sleeve. 1 had come down as a student from Mr. Crooks' office in Toronto to take charge of Thomas Kirkpatrick's chancery business, his partner, Mr. Morris, having died. Shortly after 1 came Overton 8. Gildersleeve died and the late C. F. Gildersleeve had to take charge of the large Shipping and steamboat business which he left be- hind him. He was therefore obliged to leave the practice of the law. Mr, Gildersleeve very generously agreed to guarantee me so much a year during the early years of my partnership with his brother, a' guarantee which fortun- ately 1 had not to take advantage of. During all these years afterwards he was, | may say, a brother to me. We were associated together in everything except political matters. Mr, Gilder sleeve was generous and open-handed ness dealings. He had a great deal of energy and may be said to have spent his whole life in the development of steamboat pavigation both on the lake and the river, He was an earnest worker in church matters and acted as chairman of the building in connection with the first tion of the cathedral. 1 shall miss him very much." Hon. William Harty, MP, said: "By the death of Me. Gildersleeve, the city its. mast public spirited citizen, 1 say this advisedly, from the fact that have heen most intimately associated with him for over thirty-five years. As a member of the city council he, to my knowledge, for a period of twenty years, gave a much larger amount of his time to the furtherance of mat ters of interest to this city, than gave to his own business. He was a man of large ideas, and capable of grasping important subjects and turn ing the same over from every stand point, to arrive at a conclusion he considered best. He was always ah enthusiastic man in his desire to mo mote the marine interests of Canada. and the fact that this was recognized -| by those engaged in the marine busi ness of the great lakes and river St. Lawrence, was made apparent Vears ago, he which Mr. Gildersleeve was unanimous ly chosen as its first president.

Watts, Their Marriage. On Tuesday evening, one of those rare occasions was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Watts, 136 Colborne street--the fortieth anni versary of their marriage. Of the eight children, two were absent, Dr. J. S. Watts, Oswego, and Sidney "J. Watts, Glenvale. Those who were present at the happy event were the five daugh ters, Mrs. Atkinson, townshin of Pittsburg; Mrs. J. D. Brebner, willets holme; Mrs. J. 0. Ellerbeck, Glenvale: Mre. E. Clark, Glenvale; Miss Hattie, Kingston, one son, Harry, his wife and children, and a niece, Mrs. Ettingér, and Prof. Ettinger of the city. A unique feature was the baptizing, by Rev. W. H. Sparling, of the young- est grandchild, Henrietta Margery El- lerheck. Another interesting feature of the eveming was the presentation of a handsome oak Morris chair to the happy couple by their children. A deli- cious supper was served, and later in the evening, music passed away eral pleasant hours. Henry Watts is one of the best known of Kingston township farmers, as a good upright man of noble char- acter. He was horn in Belleville, six- ty-six years ago, and for thirty vears followed the trade of carpenter, when he went farming, and has been a man of the soil until two vears ago, when he came to the city to lead a re- tired life. For nineteen years he was in the township council, and served a year as reeve and supervisor of Wat erloo and Svdenham road. Mrs. Watts, is an English woman, having been horn sixty-six years ago, near Man chester. With her parents she came to Kingston when a vourg child. She married her husband in Belleville. S-------------- LETTERS TO"THE EDITOR. Celebrate sev- Board of Works Policy Regarding New Walks Approved. Kingston, Jan. 17.-<(To the Editor): I am glad to see that this year we have some aldermen who are going to stand up for the rights of the proper- tyholders by insisting that no new artificial sidewalks are put down ex cept where they are absolutely neces sary. Last year many good planks were taken from walks that would have given fair service for several years to come, and as we have men employed to patch these walks, their time should have heen employed in patching instead of carting away and raising up the old walks. When we tried to get patching done, the patch- ers were too busy. They did not have time, but they could always find time to draw away a load of the old planks. Are these planks piled away in the city's vard for use ? I think this matter should be looked into a little bit in the coming season. 1 would also say, in regard to asphalt walks needing repairs, that the late board of works decided to do no re- pairing except where such walks had heen 'put down 'under. the present local improvement act. Now, in justice to property owners, any walk dny, place within the city limits, if "its lasting quality can be lengthened, should be repaired instead of being torn up and both the city's and property owners' money wasted. -- WORKINGMAN AND TAXPAYER. Will Be Of Immence Importance. Gilbert Johnston, mechanical super intendent, R. &' 0. Navigation com- pany, Montreal, writes to the Whig that vopies of that paper containing reports of Captain Thomas Donnelly's lectures hefore the Marine School have been sent to him by friends in King- ston, and have interested him much. "I am sure the lectures will be of immense benefit to the many mariners of Kingston as the subjects so far tak- en up are of great importance and have been materially dealt with by Captain Donnelly, who is one of the very few marine authorities in Cana- da. .

Through the thought of Miss Cart wright, the pictures were brought here. Let it not be said that Kings- ton was unappreciative, that the highest examples of modern art were in her midst, and she was heedless. There need be no fear in the minds of the unlettered in art that the pictures on exhibition on Wednesday and to- day, and which 'may be seen all day on Friday, are so great as to be non- understandable. Far otherwise. They depict in the wonderful color, form and atmosphere, peculiarly the glory of the Dutch school, the simple daily lives of a honie-loving people. Though one of Israels' is held at £3,700, and others range in price from 200 on, the story they tell is but the quitt' one of a homely people. And yet their appeal is to the critic, to the amateur, to the professional, to the mass of the people who are touch- ad by the humanity of them. On Wednesday night Mrs. Dignam, of Toronto, convenor of the exhibi- tion committee, who happens, very fortunately, to be in town just, now, spoke to those who had gathered to view the collection, of some of « the characteristics of * the masterpieces covering the gallery walls. With the knowledge of the technician, and the enthusiasm of the lover of her art, she 'drew attention to the details of the pictures, discovering to her hear- ers beauties that unpracticed eyes had not seen. A description of even a few of the paintings is not possible, but the silken coats of three sleepy Gor don setter pups must be seen to he realized.

Beautiful as the eve sees them as it rests upon them. first, the greatness of their simple truthful- ness is vielded up more and more to those who look with care. Miss Machar, president of the King- ston branch, introducing Mrs. Dig- nam last night, made a most graceful little speech. With delicate humour she referred to the old Scotch witticism that the students of Auld Scotia cul tivated the muses on a little oatmeal. Sir Gilbert Parker and Madame Sarah Bernhardt seemed to think that Cana- dians thought more of the meal than the muses. Mrs. Dignam had=fome to help dispel that tendency in Kingston.
