BIRTLES, Formerly of the Royal Military Col. lege, Kingston, Kingston, Sept. 28.5{To the Edi tor): Lieut, H. Birtles, R.E., on the 31st August last, retived from his ma- jesty's_ service, on the expiration of his period of employment at the Roy al Military College of Canada, after being in hamess for over filly years, He had the distinction of having serv] ed under three sovereigns, her late Most Gracious Majesty Lady Queen Vietoria, also King Fdward VII aod our present King, George V. The Royal Military College of Canada has undoubtedly lost one of its principal officers, in the retirement of this offi- cer,as he was one of the leading in- siructors in military engineering, was also foreman of works, the latter duty he having performed since the college first opened, with eighteen gentlemen 'cadets, in 1878. Previous to this ser- vice Lieut. Birtles served in the Royal Engineers in England, Seotland and Ireland, as sergeant-major of that regiment for a good many years. His pervice iu the Royal Engineers was over twenty-one years, and on the sub ordinate staff, Royal Military College, thirty-two years, making a total ser- vice of fifty-three years, Lieut. H. Birtles saw service in Gib raltar, Malta and Jerusalem. At the latter place he served under General Sir Charles Warren, K.C.M.G., RE. The writer has known Lieut. H. Bir- ties personally © for over twenty-one years, and is bound to say that he never knew a better specimen of a sol- dier from every point of view. It isa pleasure to be able to pay this small tribute of respect to a man one has always found a thorough gentleman in every respect. That he may long live to enjoy the privileges of civil life, ac- companied by the best of health, are the sincere wishes of AN OLD SOL- DER, TO SETTLE THE ESTATE. An American Girl Who Later Became a Countess, Wash. Sept. 29. Homer Tilley," of Spokane, and his brother, H. C. Tilley, of Walla Walla, Wash., are indirect heirs of the estate of the Countess Straevi;, who died in Paris recently, leaving a fortune of between 15,000,000 ahd 20,000,000 francs, The elder Tillevs have just returned from France, where they arranged for the settlement of the estate. The coun- tess was Mabel Tilley, an American girl, who married M. Tilley, a mil Homaire, of San Franciseo, twenty wears ago. When he died in 1892 she inlbrited his fortune, Mrs. Tilley went abroud soon alterwards and, in Paris, harried Count Fea, a Groek » "years leaving a fortune to his wife. The Countess Straeva visited the United States . several months before her death and in New York declared more than $100000 worth of jewels and Spokane, cided what they will do with the es tate that is to come to them, but it is likely that as much as can be con- verted into cash will be invested in the, United States.

United Irish League of America Pledges This Amount. Bufialo, Sept. 29.--A pledge to raise $100,000 within two years for the cause of home rule in Ireland, was en- thusiastically made by the S85 dele galés reporting at the second days' sessions of the fifth biennial nations) of America, being held in this aity. The pledge resulted from the unani- mous adoption of the report of the conimittee on ways and means which indorsed "the great work done for the amelioration of the Irish people within the last few years by the Irish Parlia- mentary party." "Believing that this work is to be crowned in the near future by the realization of the Irislimen's fondest dream, home rule," the report of the committee continued, "and having the fullest confidence "in the continued leadership of Jobn E. Redmond, we pledge $100,000 to be raised before the next convention. If this sum be in- sufficient, we feel that even a. larger amount will be forthcoming. We fur- ther recommend the adoption of na- tional organizers." .

Longan at the mess table, Saturday night, when he was officer of the day, assert that they sought to resent the taetician's plan of "placing the cadets upon their honor." They say that it is an estab- lished rule at the academy that all cadets are constantly on' their honor and that for any of them to lie or de ceive is impossible. About thiee weeks ago, the cadets | say, James Daniel Burt, a cadet of the first class, from New York, was given leave of absence to attend the funeral of a relative. On his return to the academy he reported himself ill and went to the hospital. Capt. Longan, it is charged, visited Burt at the hos- pital and later reported that in his judgment Bart was feigning illness to escape routine duty. Three days later Buri was operated on for appendicitis, and for several about among + the cadets indignation was expressed. A few days later an- other cadet was accused by Capt. Lou- gan with "visiting" without permis- sion. The accused cadet proved an alibi, but Capt. 1 is said to have insisted that was not mis- taken. Then came: ihe report thai Capt. Longan had arbitrarily and un- justly given several cadets demerit marks, and the "silencing" form of disapproval was adopted. Jt is maintained that the trouble is analogous to that which took place at the garrison in 1900, when Capt, Lind- say, an instructor, was © is by he cadets, with the result that * his transfer by the department followed as the only measure to establish peace.
