Mrs. Mary Mundell, who died at her home on Arch street on Tuesday morning, was born in Ireland about eighty-three years ago. Her moth- er died when she was very young, and soon afterwards her father, James Gardiner, brought her to Canada, set- tiing in Kingston, where until his death in 1849 he kept store opposite the grounds on which Chalmers Church now stands. ; 8he was a resident of Kingston for ed all the many changes that trans- formed the town of the forties into the city of to-day. Always of a live- ly and cheerful disposition, she kept herself young in spirit throughout a long life. Kindly and generous to a fault, she endeared herself to a large circle of. friends, by whom she will: be long remembered and greatly missed. , Of late years her usual rugged | health had become somewhat im-| paired, but she had no definite ail-| ment until a little over a week ago, | when her final illness developed in! the form of bronchial pneumonia. | She is survived by three sons: | Drs. John and D. E. Mundell and | William Mundell, barrister, and one | daughter, Mrs. (Dr.) G. F. Cliff, of | Mortlach, Sask., all graduates of] Queen's. She was a member of Syd- | enham Street Methodist Church. The Militia Department, Ottawa, has issued an order that officers, non- cemmissioned officers and men now at the front will not be allowed to return to take positions in new over- seus units being organized in Can- ada. - "Commanding officers are there fore requested to submit no applica- tions for officers or men to be s0 transferred," says the order. : Capt. Donald Robertson, of Otta- wa, has been appointed to thé com- mand of the Ammunition Column of the new 13th Artillery Brigade be- ing organized here under Lieut.-Col. E. C. Arnoldi. Lieut. P. A. Wood and Lieut. B. R. McDougall, both of Ottawa, are officers of the Column. Lieut.-Col. M. K, Adams and Capt. Green of the 155th Battalion Belleville, were jn Kingston on Mon- | day. The Belleville Intelligencer says: Lieut. Birkett, who commands a Russian platoon in the 80th Battal- ion, has left the hospital and is now | at the hiome of his parents in Kings- tod. He will hardly be able to go overseas with the 80th when the battalion goes, but he will join 'his unit later. The Russians of Mr. Birkett's platoon are devoted to him, { and he to them, and the 80th Bat- | talion are anxious to retain the ser- LATE MRS.

Kingston, April 17.--To the Edi- tor): I.would lfkef you to publish | this article in. youg paper, as it is read more than any other in bar- racks. It could be-called "A Lesson in Patriotism." There is an- énlisted man of the R, C. H. A. who came all the way from Oakland, California, to Toron- to do his "bit." He threw down a position 'as stage director for Oliver At the Grand. The mére mention of Mary Pick- ford is sufficient to attract capacity houses to any theatre, and the at- tendance at the Grand last evening was no exception to the rule. In "The Foundling" Miss Pickford is@| offered wide latitulte for a display of her charm and versatility, and she takes advantage of every opoprtun- ity to arouse one's ' sympathy and make one feel merry In the role the author has given her, The other photoplays are very pleasing, "Man or Money," a three-reel offering, be- ing very good. "Slim, Fat and Me- dium" {8 full of laughs in every move, while the Pathe Gazette and the Topical Budget round out a pleasant evening with the screen. Russell and Bell headline. the vau- deville section. The act is full of timely comedy and some dainty dancing. The songs are snappy and bright, while the costumes are artistic. Miss Bell' was formerly understudy to Ruth St. Denys, and offers some classic dances. Bella Carmen in an up-to-the-standard banjo offering was well received. She | plays catchy melodies. The same { bill will 'be repeated to-night. "Within the Law." "Within the Law" is the real un- derworld play of to-day," wrote Po- lice Commissioner George 8S. Dough- erty. It comes to the Grand on Sat- | urday, April 22nd, matinee and night, and which has had the almosp unprecedented record of an eighteen | months' run in New York city. Be- fore writing this play, Mr. Veiller was practically unknown. The day after its production, he received so many offers of contracts to wrjte plays that he was forced' to flee out of town to keep from signing away enough of his time to cover the re- mainder of his natural life. This is what inevitably happens to the dra- matist who writes a hig success. But only a few playrights achieve such a hit as "Within the Law" during a century of dramatic writing. "Rolling Stones." The Grand Opera House an- | nounces for its attraction on Easter | Monday, matinee and night, "Rolling | Stones," a comedy which has attain- { ed a remarkable degree of popularity | during its six months' engagement {in New York, and more recently dur- {ing a several weeks' run in Boston. | It comes here direct from the latter | city* with cast and production intact. | '""Roling Stones" is a comedy of | youth and adventure with enough | romance and melodramatic incidents to make its story entertaining. At The Strand. One of the best photo-play pro- grammes ever seen here was screened to a large and very appreci- ative audience at the Strand last evening. The bill consists of a 5-aet Triangle- Griffith production, "The Lily and the Rose" in which "Lillian Gish," that wonderful little actress who played the leading femi- nine role in "The Birth of a Nation." is seen at her best. The comedy feature is a 2-reel Keystone, "The Great Vacum Rebbery," which kept the audience in a continual roar for thirty minutes, Other members on the bill include "The Spider," a two reel Essany drama, "Adama's Ances- tors," one-reel comedy and the "Se- lig Tribune" showing 'the world's latest. happenings. The same bill will be repeated again to-night and Neckwear They are here in abundance. A style for every taste.

W. LAKE. A PRISONER OF WAR Writes to a Kingston Friend From Gottingen, Germany. Miss L. Reid, 395 Division stréet, is in receipt of a letter from Pte. A. McCluskey, of the 48th Canadian Highlanders, Toronto, now a prison- er of war at Gottingen, Germany. He writes to thank her for the receipt of parcels from Kingston. Other Ca- nadian_ prisoners also received simi- lar parcels. The writer enclosed a photo which he had had taken at the detention camp. This will be repro- duced in the illustrated section of the Whig later on. Miss Reid also received a card of thanks from Pte. M. Holden, of the 13th Canadian Battalion, Montreal, also a prisoner. The men greatly appreciate the parcels sent them. POLICE WERE CALLED, 4 ro But Drunk Had Been Whisked Off In a Grocery Wagon. Tuesday forenoon, a telephone message was received at the policy station stating that there was a drunken man near the corner of Clergy and Brock streets, .and.that he should be taken in.charge. Constables rt Sargeant and Leslie Armstrong 'hurried to the Snly to'find that a man driving .corner in a grocery wagon had taken pity on the poor unfortu- nate and had driven him to his home, thus saving the man from the dis- grace of being locked up and at the same time probably a fine, ; Moth Camphor at Gibson's. " (he did not enlist a year ago; he is afraid it might be all over before he | is sent overseas. This should be a | lesson to all thosé who are still hang- {ing back. Travelling 4,000 miles is quite a journey, so this spirit alone should get him' ahead. --SOLDIER. The Conscription Question, Kingston, Apri} 18 (To the Edi- tor): 1 am one of those who have been in favor of conscription in Canada but 1 realize the difficulties wh'chi- confront the Government in dealing with the matter at this time, In an issue of the Whig last week I read a despatch from Toronto stat- ing that Ongario's share of the half million men to be raised in Canada for war purposes was 167,000, and that when this number, had been raised, Ontario would have done her "bit." As probably only 30,000 more men require to be raised in Ontario, and these will no doubt be secured by next September, conscription could not be enforced in Ontario to make it do more than other provin- ces, even if Ontario is the banner province of Canada. If conseription were to be put into effect, Ontario would have to be eliminated, and the additional number of men required would have to be sought largely in fhe province of Quebec which has hot done its duty, but which would if the agitators were removed to the in- ternment camps.--READER. Word was received in the city on Satarday that Bdr. R. D. F. Bruce, R. C. H. A., now of Shorncliffe, son street, had Met with a painful acci- dent while helping to load a trans- port wagon with bales. of peat mass.
