When the two men parted that night Markler thought that perhaps he had acted hastily in placing so much valuable jewelry in a stranger s hands.

"who follawes, spoke of the spirit of responsibility, which bad come over the people recently, in regard to the care of patients suffering from tuberculosis. Years ago, no such attention was paid. Even in the militia, in olden days, one surgeon would be sent to care for an entire division.. The people had been stirred to action, however 'and their enthusiasm had stirred the government. The speaker was glad to know that the hospital had its doors open for both rick and poor alike. Hon. Mr. Hanna's Address. Hon. Mr. Hanna, in his opening remarks, stated that it was a happy thought, when the hospital had been named after, Sir Oliver Mowat, and continuing. made this reference: "The province of On- tario, during the years Sir Oliver Mowsg was fstme !uneter. never had reason 'to hang ts head or te be ashamed, by reason of her pub- lic institutions. T.e province of Ontario, during these years, and I think | can safely say, since, has stood well to the front as regards publie Institutions, compared with other provinces, and other coun- tries." The speaker was glad to know that the hospital was open to all cases and touched on thé sad part in connection with cases where ii was found the patient was very fa: advanced. He said it would be 2 source of great satisfaction ic years, to come for the management to know that they had a roof i« cover all such cases, and to give the patients proper care. "But what progress have we been making along this lines "n the pro vince of Ontario, in reecnt years?' asked Mr. Hanna. "How far have we availed ourselves of the know iedge of the medical men, in re- gard 10 this disease?" He had bean looking up records and they were quite interesting. He felt that he could safely say tha! nowadays, the people were ven much interested in the work. H: then gave figures on the question In 1881, the deaths recorded fron tuberculosis in Ontario were 12 per 100,000 people; 1891 112 1901, 148; and in 1911, after te; years of educational work, 92. O in other words, in 1901 eleven per- cent. of all the deaths had been' caused by tuberculosie ,, while ter years later, in 1911, six and, one half per cent. of the total death roll had been caused by tuberculo- 8's. 'It is-a work worth doing "' adde« Mr. Hanna. "Your work . here ir' Kingston will be far reaching, an it wid not be measured by the patients within tue walls of the hospital. You will be able t¢ carry on a great educational work.' In bis concluding remarks, Mr |Hanna stated that it was mos | pleasing, that the hospital should start off good financially. He ex- pressed the hope that it would con tinve to go on from year to year, in the same way. Speaking aga'n of the name selected for the hos pital, he stated that the occasion was one in which the government, of the province of Ontario. should offer to furnish a room in the hos pital. This shouid not be given for amy particular government o section of the peovle--but for al! the people of the province of On- tario. ; Chairman Elliott at once. acted jon the suggestion, "We are very {8lad to receive your offer." he said to Mr. Hanws, and aldAd And you will hear from us later. Sheriff Mowat's Remarks. Frederick Mowat, sheriff of ounty, was the last speaker. troducing him, Mr. Elliott made a 'ew appropriate remarks.

During all that long teriod there had always been a mem her of the Mowat family living in Kingston. : Mr. Mowat said it gave him sleasure to he present .and to have 'he opportunity of returning thanks for the honor bestowed to the mem- ary of his father. Ho felt sure that the honor had been conferred as appreciation of a man and not an honor from certain political 'riende. His father, he said, was one whose heart went out to the weak and suffering. He was also » great lover of his native citv, The weaker had great faith in the ae fulness of the new "institution which as heing opened. At the clase of Mr. fress Mr. Elliott took occasion to thank the Daughters of the Empire for their share in the work and als referred to messages received the judges of the counties of Hastings and Prince Fdward, [nreating their interest hospital.
