"Not so," said Wit, "'there's a leaf for us three," and so it is the three great strings of life {sound upon the world's harp, that most perfect chord, the Irish people. Love pure and constant; valor, brave even in fear ; wit unrivalled ; these Canon Dann, ao Irishman himself, portrayed in story, in verse, in sober prose, at St. George's hall, on Mon- day, Canon Dann objected, as all Irish- | men do, to the usual stage represen- | tation of his countryman, and then | showed by many a witty story, that | the bulls which cause such derisive laughter from the uninteiligent, have always sense and salt underlying, as for instance the youth who, after many failures, came out head in a foot race, shouted *"'Firsht at lasht !"' The speaker touched briefly on the Irish coat-of-arms with its wolfhound, its round towers, its harp, and all wreathed by the shamrock. The wolf- hound he thought typified the faith and religious tendency the race, which drive before them the wild boar of sin. The harp typifies the musical nature of the Irish, through whose gayest music the notes of sadness run. Perhaps the most interesting part of the lecture was that devoted to the round towers, those mute witnesses to the age of the Irish race, Here 'and there in many places in Ireland these slender shafts, so ancient that his- tory bears no record of their rearing or their purpose, lift their heads into the sky. In Christian times the shrine of the holy vessels and of the vestments of the priests, they may have aided the Druid in his worship, and in many centuries earlier than this seen the pagan feeling his way, through weird rites, to God. Canon Dann read a most beau- tiful poem, by Dennis McCarthy, on these towers. He also read some deli- | cious Irish lovesongs, grave and gay, and a poem on the shamrock, the three in one and one in three, which binds truth and love and death and life and pain and joy, in an indis- woems of the | Portrayed of light on these little understood peo- ple, who hold it not strange to laugh when their eyes are full of tears. The lecturer was graphic in his re- marks on England's Irish generals and soldiers, and England's Irish men of letters, and England's Irish great men in the church. "In fact," he said, '""you can't be much of anything at all unless you're Irish," and the audience clapped the sentiment heartily. With true Irish grace, though, the Canon ended his talk with a story of a Scotchman who had said "Yes, the rose 'of England's beautiful, and the shamrock of Ireland's fine, but show me the man that can sit on the thistle." Rev. William Lewin proposed a vote of thanks for the "interesting, amusing and' brilliant lecture," and this was conveyed by Dean Farth- ing, the chairman. Canon Dann, ip reply, spoke a few words, full of strong Canadian sentiment. A FINE LEAD PROPERTY in Frontenac fo Be Developed. Carl BE. Ryan, formerly cashier of the Worlds Fair National bank, St. Louis, arrived in the city on Satur- day to look uver the lead properties of the Canadian Load and Smelting company, limited, and presented a most favoranle report. Nr. Ryan has been interested in the lead busi- ness for some ten years, principally in the Joplin district, in Missouri, and' considers the local property one of the best he has ever looked over. He not only examined the material on the dump but went down into the mines and was very much surprised with what he saw there, and cannot understand how Kingston people have let it lie so long, not seizing the opportunity to open up the field. "In the Missouri fields," said Mr. Ryan, the lead -is found in pockets, and the miners have to go down, mine out one pocket and then search around for another, the output min- ing about three per cent. dead, and is mined with profit. "Here," continued Mr. Ryan, 'the veins can be seen on top, and you can almost figure out to the pound what you have. The Frontenac mine should run easily be tween twelve and fifteen per cent. and can be mined at a handsome profit, After carefully looking over tke Fron tenac property I cannot why it could not be made of the best. Kingston is right in the heart of the market, good transportation, and the mills to smelt this product are with- in a short distance of the mine." Mr. Ryan stated that the uses for lead were multiplying each year, there being a wonderful demand for the product, the supuly not near equall- ing the demand. "In summing up the proposition," said Mr. Ryan, "and after carefully considering everything I cannot but see that it is a wonderful thing and I cannot realize how it can be left when so much money is in sight."

My Valet. of | EXPLANATION 15 EASY GIVING OF CONTRACTS FOR LOCOMOTIVES an: To United States Company Easily Explained--The Locomotives Are For the Road Wholly in Michigan and Illinois. Cornelius Bermingham has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Standard : _ Kingston, Oct. 13.--In last night's lssue you quote a paragraph from the Toronto World, stating the Baldwin Locomotive Works, of Philadelphia, have recently delivered ten engines to the Grand Trunk for use on their western division. The fact seems to shock your editorial seul, and you al- most tearfully bewail because the "Grand Trunk, the parent company of Sir Wilfrid's own pet, the Grand Trunk Pacific," has passed by Cana- dian shops and Canadian workmen and given its orders to Americans. Had you read the paragraph carefully you could not fail to notice this order was given the Baldwin shops last September, and had you been at all conversant with the business, or even remembered the news published at the time in your own columns (or those of your predecessor) you would have been aware that at that time the Grand Trunk and Grand Trunk Pacific placed orders for one hundred locomo- Are now ready for your choice and make a most interesting showing altogether for women who like fresh new styles. As in past seasons we have made an effort to get another step ahead on ex- cellence of styles and good workman- tives giving to Canadian shops ninety, and to American shops, ten. Had you a better knowledge of what ! the Grand Trunk railway is, you' would have known its western divi-| sion is located entircly in the states' of Michigan and Illinois, and that! these engines are not for service in| (Canada at all, but will be used ex clusively in the United States. If they had been built in Canada they. would | have been subject to the United States | customs duty, which is practically prohibitive, not only against ved dian, but all other locomotives as well. As a matter of fact, the Grand Trunk Pacific has never ordered an en- gine except in Canada, neither has the' Grand Trunk, in recent years, ymport- ed any engines for use in Canada. In this respect they have not followed the practice of the tory government, which, when in power, sent its orders to the American shops and let Cana- dian workmen lie idle, and Kingston's principal industry, languish and die. So, Mr. Editor, please dry your editorial tears and cheer up your edi- torial heart. The Canadian workman is not discriminated against any long- er, but gets a square deal, not only from the liberal government, but also from "Sir Wilirid's own pet, the Grand Trunk Pacific," and its parent company.--Yours truly, C.
