He told Ipuardians INESS MEN DINE IN THE YMCA GYMNASIUM LAST EVENING. M. B. Tudhope, of Orillia, and W. P. Archibald, Dominion Parole Officer, Were the Visiting Speak- ers. The annual banguet of the business men of the city of Kingston, held ia the Y.M.C.A. building, last evening, was a splendid affair. Tables were set in the spacious gymnasium, which was very prettily decorated with flags and bunting. The supper provided by the ladies auxiliary of the association further enhanced that body's reputa- tion in the eyes of those present. Mc- Auley's . orthestra discoursed sweet music. Dr. W. G. Anglin in a few well chosen wdrds, welcomed the gathering | to the YM.C.A, He was ad that the business men of the city come to | realize the important asset the Y.M. | C. A. was to the city, by turning out | on this occasion. He ex the | gratitude of the association to the | ladies auxiliary for the splendid re spose in helping them out thas far. a called upon W. R. Givens to Mr. Givens said he was glad to see such a representativel ly of 'men collected. He said perhaps no one had felt the benefit of the Y.M.C.A. more than he. He had beén cast adrift in the world at an early age and had gone to the country across the bor- der. No one but those who have ex- perienced the feeling of loneliness cam know the knawing pain which eats to the vitals of almost every individual who finds himself alone in a strange city without friends. When in differ- ent cities across the border, the Y.M. C.A. had been his home. Young men with the feeling of lonesomeness upon them often resort to questionable amusements which have a demoraliz- ing effect upon them, when if they were reached by the YM.C.A., they would be surrounded by better en- vironment. One valuable asset of the work of the association is the fact that it is undenominational, it gives no social advantages over one anoth- er and there is no politics mixed up with it. All classes' of men in the dif- ferent walks of life mingle freely to- gether and ave as one. The speaker said he would like to say 'a few words about reciprocity the question which is uppermost in men's - minds to-day. Some have said that there will be annexation as the result of thie treaty, bdi in his opinion he did not think anything of this kind . was likely to come to pass. W. P. Archibald, the well known Do minion parole officer, responded to this toast. He had been in touch with Y.M.C.A. work for a number of years past. It was a source of extreme pleas- ure to know that this organization is so completely developed in every sense It is a home for anyone. Years . ago when boys from distant lands and were strangers in a strange land they had no one to care for them, but now they were invited to the Y. M.C.A. rooms and made to feel at me. Mr. Archibald also spoke upon his arole work. He pictured the great essing this system has proved to the convicts in enabling them to atone in some measure for the false step of| man ways whereby the men coming out of the big prison branded for life might be helped. The world turns a cold shoulder to them and in many cases drives them back to crime again, He gave the YYM.C.A. a great deal of credit for the results which have been attained. He touched on the condi: tion of the building and said al though he did not want to criticize, the building here required a bowling alley. The young men must have good, clean, healthy sport and if they are to be kept from going to questionable resorts one of these bowling alleys should be installed. In proposing the toast to "Can ada" Donald M. Mclafyre, K.C., dwelt on the fact that the name of Canada had not always been connected with toast lists. It was only since the days of confederation that it had been a name of any significance. As and curtodians of "this great country we have a heavy re sponsibility to perform and we need all the strength and wisdom that is in us to do it. There is also a great responsibility in looking after those who come to our many of ing governments. If they are to become good citizens we must teacl them the essential things regarding it. he gave the credit for playing a great part in looking those who come to our shores, str M.

The kome as a place of influence is almost gone at the present time. If things go on in this way it will soon be wiped out of existence. The responsibility of parenthood is looked upon by most people in a very light-hearted man- per and not as the greatest responsi- bility which can be thrust upon hu- man beings. Do men live clean lives that they may pass on to their child- ren a heritage of clean blood? H they are not, why not? Men who frequent bar rooms and pool rooms are not living the lives which will be a benediction and a blessing to their children. The speaker said the public schools of the present time are so well equipped that parents pack their i off to school - at the age of four or five years and should- er all the responsibility on to the teachers' shoulders. He said he supposed would also 'be equipped with all the requisite articles for aursing of babies and that the infants would be sent there before they were able to walk. {Laughter.) If we are to meet the responsibility in the right way we must train ourselves and our children in ways of integrity. Who is the successful man ? + That man is successful who has performed his allotted task, who has laughed some, who has loved and is loved, who has looked for the best in others and has given the best in himself. His life is an inspiration and a benedic- tion. If we can make our citizens assume the responsibility which is theirs the way they should we need ada.

Knight, of Queen's Uni. versity, Deals With the Value of Human Life to a Community. Kingston, Feb. 15.--(To the Edi- tor) 'Assuming that Mr. Welch's figures are correct, namely that 382 persons have died of comswmption in King- ston during the past ten- years, Mr Bermihgham"s plea that it would be good business for the city council to | give $18,000 to the Oliver Mowat hos pital merits some special considera tion. What is the value of a human life? Manifestly it varies at different ages. In infancy its value is merely pros- pective; at mid-life itis ay its highest and in old age it is less than no- thing. English and American writers place different values upon a human life at different ages, because the earn- ing powers differ very much in the two countries. The following = values are given by Fisher in a report up- on national vitality, presented to the United States consul in 1910 : Net worth a person in dollars. of 20 years 30 years ... 50 years. SN vears.. ... Lio os These values are based upon the estimates of Dr. William Farr, of kagiand, being modified to represent the_difference in a person's earning com- i i minus $700 ipower in the United States as i pared with his earning power in Eng- : land. Fisher averages these values and es- timates that each life lost by a preventable disease, like consumptidh, 'is worth 81,700. If this estimate ibe | accepted then in. order to canvert Mr. Bermingham's general statement into business figures all we have to do is | to multiply the 38 annual deaths by £1,700 in order to see how grgat an annual loss' the city sustains ftom tu- berculosis : $1,700 x 38 gives $64,- 600, But this is not the whole annual lose. It was stated on Monday night that there are 200 persons suffering from consumption in Kingston at the | present time. Of this number, probably half are unfit to work and the half are capable of earning only half | their ordinary wages, Moreover, those ' who are too ill to work have to be cared for and waited on by nurses | and doctors. Medicines too are need- led, not to speak of the dainties that ! must be provided to tempt a flagging | appetite. Add these losses to the $64, 600, mentioned above, and it becomes clear that Mr. Bermingham's state ment & a very moderate one. Of these 200' persons, assume that one-fifths are men, say forty. If half of them are unable to work, but could * earn, if im good health, $1.50 a dav, then the loss to the community would be $30 a day, or $9,000 a year. Ii the other half of these forty men can only earn an average of seventy-five cents a day, the loss involved would equal $4,500, or $13,500 all told, not allowing anything for doctors, nurses, medicines, or dainties. Again what a wail would go up if one of Kingston's factories employ- ing 'thirty-eight operators were to close to-morrow ? But little is said {about the thirty-eight consumptive { persons who annually drop out of the ranks of Kingston's works into | the silent grave; and still less about ithe 200 others who linger on hali- | dead and half alive as a result of the ! ravages of the white pague. | Mr.: Bermingham is undoubtedly right; it is good business for King- | ston to-day to stamp out consamp- tion, just as it was and is good busi- ness for Kingston to stamp out' ty- phoid fever by spending thousands of | dollars upon its water works system. | Yours truly, A.

The rns GIFT OF FUR COAT To Rev. T. C. Cassidy at Collins' Bay Tuesday Evening. At the annual tea-meeting of the Colins Bay Methodist church, on Tuesday evening, Rev. T. C. Cassidy, of Cataraqui, was taken by surprise, and. made the recipient of a hand- some fur coat, the gift of the Coilins Bay and Westbrook Methodists. An address of appreciation of Mr. C sidy's services was read by J. Ia Sproule, recording steward, West: rook, and - the presentation was made by Mrs. L..A. Wartman. The address expressed appreciation of the valuable labors of Mr. Cassidy, and of the esteem in which he and Mrs Cassidy are held by their people, and wished them health and prosperity in their future work. Mr. Cassidy thank- ed the people most heartily for "their kind expressions, and for their beauti- ful and useful gift. A concert was to have been given by musicians from the city, but the roads were so block- ed that the visitors could not go out, so Mr. Cassidy and the choir of the Collins Bay church furnished a good programme. : other | ADDRESSED THE CHILDREN. Archbishop Gauthier Warned Boys Against Evil Company. At his last mass in St, Mary's ca- thedral, this morning, Archbishop Gauthier was assisted by Rev. Father Hanley, the present rector, and Rev. Father Kehoe, of Gananoque, the former rector. It was a special mass for the children, and eight hundred gathered. The children sang choruses, and Miss Bessie Dolan sang the hymn, "St. Charles"; Miss A. Cummings and Miss C. O'Brien sang "Jesus My Lord, My God," and Master Charles O'Connor rendered "Hail, Heavenly Queen"; Vincent Nicholson sgng "0 Sacred Heart, that on the Cross" The singing of the children wis very good The archhishop gave the chil: dren good advice. He warned the boys against evil company. Hiy grace was deeply touched on saying farewell to the children. The altar was beautiful: ly decorated by the sisters of the House of Providence. A REAL GOOD PLAY Was Put on at the Grand Last Night. There was a good audience at the Grand opera house last evening to witness the production of "The Old Homestead," the famous New Eng- land play.
