Ross, calfe a Alderman Daniel Couper was on Monday elected mayor of Kingston by the magnificent majority of 935. He came very near doubling the vote secured by his opponent, Ald. David A. Givens, who was completely snow- ed under by the largest majority ever iven a mayoralty candidate in the Kistory of Kingston, Every ward vot- ed Couper. Daniel was the candy boy on Monday, and he certainly hadsthe bells on, Li he played rings around his legal rival for the mayor's chain, The total vote was the largest poll: LEGACY FROM CHARLES IL ------ ¥ Poor Little Girl Gets £200 and 3. 28 a Week, { London, Jan. 5.--~The romantic story of a legacy loft by Charles II was i» Ye When fleeing from the battle of Wor- cester in 1651, Charles, as is well known, was assisted to a hiding place in an oak iree by a farmer, Richard Penderel. Then Charles grant- od the farmer six legacies, two of £200, and four of £100 a week. Two weeks ago a fruit porter, Charles Pen- devel, diod, leaving a four-year-old daughter unprovided for. His sister, the wile, of a London eabman, named Cassin, took the child into her own family, for which it was difficult to provide. The cabman's wife had heard something of Charles' logacy as a sort of a family myth, but had never re garded it seriously. Pressed by hard times, on sceing a reference to the Pendere}l legacy in a newspaper, she began to make enquiries. Eventually she was, amazed to find that her nicce was entitled to a pound a week for life, while an accumulation of £200 was awaiting her. The trustece of the legacy were made her nicce's guardians, and they handed over the £200 to her. Gave. 935 Votes---Mayor d J. H. Met- strong fight made against him, and when the result was announced in. the Whig office after six o'clock, there was great cheering. In Cataraqui ward there was a most vigorous battle, and Mayor Ross and Ald. Henderson were defeated. To John Tweddell belongs the honor of taking the measure of Dr. Ross, who was thought to be invincible in that | section of the city. The mayor was defeated by thirty votes, Mr. Twed- dell made good his declaration' last Tuesday evening that he wasn't afraid to contest with the mayor if the latter's friends were bound to bring him into Cataraqui ward for political purposes. Ald. Henderson also fell short of the goal, by one vote, his defeat being caused hy Ex- Ald. John McKay, who again proved his_strength in Cataraqui ward. Mr. McKay had a hard opponent to de- feat, and his friends are proud of him. John Tweddell also, is a candy boy. He led Cataraqui poll. The veteran James H. Metcalfe is also among the slain. He also was brought into the field by the conser- vative machine; and placed 'in Rideau ward to lay W. R. Clugston low. But the mason contractor, who is a bro- ther<in-law of Mayor-elect Couper, was too much for James H., and he, too. was buried beneath the pile of ballots, Mr. Clugston's majority being 185. Mr. Metcalfe was - defeated in MAYOR-ELECT COUPER. ed in a municipal contest in King- ston, being 3,304 or 191 more than a ear ago, when Dr. Ross and Ald. oye were in the field. The handwrit- ing on the wall was very plain. here was never any doubt as. to the result of the election. It was Couper from "the start, and any bet- every subdivision. Ald. Christopher Graham was the only conservative machine candidate who sarvived the battle. He was too much for Marshall P. Reid in Victoria ward, where he has contested so long. Mr. Reid made a good run, however, J. C, BAHLHORN. General president of the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators. THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS.

The defeated candidate came before the people of his own accontl, while the victor was brought into the field by the people them- solves, There Was nothing political about the mayoralty contest. It was more like a general massacre. Ald. Givens' political friends attri- bute to him the defeat of Mayor Ross, for had he not come forward for the mayoralty, Dr. Russ would have received a second term by ac- clamation, and been spared the humi- liation of being defeated for an alder- manic seat, when he haa mv an excellent mayor.
