From this it must not be understood that the islands have by some force of Nature suddenly lost to sight in the waters of the St. Lawrence, or that the villages earthquake, but rather that the Geo- graphic Board of Canada has decreed that they shall no longer exist, at least under the names by which they are now, commonly known. By the fourteenth report of this body, which | attends to the nomenclature of the country, it is learned that Refuge Is-| land is now Conran Island, that Pie- nie Island is now Cockburn Island, while Sugar Island, the rendezvous of canoeists, is now to be known by the more artistic name of Mulcaster. Seeley's Bay becomes Seeley and Fairfield East simply Fairfield. These are but a few examples of the changes which the Geographic Board | has wrought in its deliberations on the nomenclature of this section of Canada during the past twelve | months. Special attention has been { paid to the Thousand Islands and many are the familiar names which { will be dropped in the official geo- graphies, but still probably retained in local circles, Nevertheless the person who now refers to Easton as Easton's Corners or to DeWatteville Island as Guild Island, will law him- self open to a charge of inaccuracy or even Ignorance, : 1 ---- | The Late John Blakely, John Blakely, 106 Montreal street, passed away Thursday even- ing at the age of seventy-two years. The deceased was born in Hunting- don, Que., and at an early age came to Kingston, where he was a well- known sailor, After sailing on the lakes for a number of years, he was employed by S. Anglin & o., with whom he worked until about eight years ago, when he retired. In re- ligion the late. Mr. Blakely was an Anglican, being an attendant of St. George's Cathedral, and in politics a conservative. He is survived by no immediate relatives. Late James Gray, Colebrook. One of the best known residents of the county passed away on Saturday last at Colebrook, when death called James Gray, after an illness of a com- plication of diseases. The deceased was born seventy-seven years ago, and had been living in the one local- ity for the last eighteen years. Dur- ing his residence in the district he was a prominent Orangeman, and the members of the Orange lodge took charge of the funeral, attending the service, at which Rev. M. Bur- mer, Yarker cireuit, officiated. The funeral was from his late residence to the Methodist Church, and the re- mains were interred in the Moscow cemetery on Monday. The late Mr. Gray was well known as a tile builder, and carried on that trade for years. There is left to mourn his loss, besides two sons and four daughters, his wife, who has been an invalid for wmseveral years, and is now quite blind. The sons are living in the western states. The daughters are Mrs N. Boyce, Cole- brook; Mrs. Kitchen, Brockville; Mrs. Ferguson, Brockville, and Miss Annie, at home, Late James McRory, Portland. James McRory, a well-known and highly respected farmer, who lived in the township of Portland, and with- in two miles of the village of Syd- enham, died on Sunday afternoon, the last day of April Hé was in his eighty-sixth year, and had suffer ed for the last four months from a broken hip, yet he kept bright and hopeful, but finally his strength gave way. \ The funeral services were conduct- ed in his late home by his pastor, Rev. Mr. Read. An instructive and comforting sermon was preached to a large company of relatives and friends. He leaves two sons and three daughters Elmer, with whom he lived; John, who resides in Kingston; 'Mrs. Alexander Smith, of Elginburg; Mrs. John Moore, of Hartington, and Mrs. Frederick Me- Williams, of Yarker.

Among the local pictures, we will show a splendid large scene of the ice jam off Macdonald Park in the win- ter of 1906. It gives one some idea of what Lake Ontario can do when it takes a notion. Among the Kingstonians whose pictures are reproduced in this issue are the following: Corp. P. Walker. Pte. Allan B, Haffner. Pte. Howard Salisbury. Drummer Norman E. Hastey. William G. Craig and Gordon M. Craig, grandsons of the late William Craig, "Laird of Glenburnie."" Gunner George Self. Pte. Arthur Greer, The Whig also reproduces in this issue nine very attractive pictures of some of Napanee's beauty spots, which will give our readers a very fair idea of the many attractive places in Napanee and vicinity. The out-of-town pictures are of un- usual excellence this week. The big- gest cut is one occupying about two- thirds of a page, which gives a bird's- eye view of Paris in war time. Itis a remarkable photo, and shows a Ger- man dirigible hovering over the city. Among the other pictures are: Launching a destroyer at Sydney, Australia. Australian Mounted Infantry leav- ing for the front. Fishing on the Red River and the Lake-of-the-Woods. New York National Guard quelling strike riots. With the Americans in Mexico. Harbor of Marseilles, France, where Russian - troops landed School room and church services in wine cellars in France Allied Generals and conference at Paris, etc, ete. News of Troops in the City (See also page 12.) It has been decided that a com- plete field battery of artillery of 134 men will be taken from "C" Battery, R.CH.A., to Petawawa eamn under the command of Capt. W. E. Steacy. The remainder of the men will be left here ag a depot so that the recruiting will continue as usual, he 146th Battalion are adopting strenuous recruiting methods so that the remainder of the men for the battalion will be obtained immedi- ately and allow the unit to go into camp at Barriefield at the full strength of 1,153 men. The firm of Lindsay Plano Co. has generously allowed part of their window to be taken up with a large thermometer which gives the number of recruits and men in the 'battalion. The fum- her is steadily increasing. On Friday morning a tent was put up in the Market Square and a re- eruiting officer will be constantly in 4 change. There was a very satisfactory re- hearsal of the 146th Battalion min- strel show put on in thesCity Hall on Thursday evening. There was a full attendance and 'the gomplete show was rehearsed. C. @ M. Sergt. W. McFedridge was in charge and by his energy inspired action in ev ery one taking part. On Friday ev- ening next one of the best shows ever put on in the Grand Opera House will be produced, The prin- ¢ipals are taking a keen interest and the full company is working strenu- ously in their efforts to make the show intensely interesting. SILK SHIRT WAISTS FEATURE WIDE STRIPE. Smart New Models Fashioned For Tailored and Sports Wear of Silk. Among the new favorites for spring are the chic little stripped silk blouses--vari-colored stripes on oy- ster-white backgrounds. Simplicity in design is an outstanding feature of these models, which turn particul- ar attention towards the cut of the sleeve, and find sufficient ornamenta- tion in a button or two and their own well-designed lines, There is a contrast supplied by the plain collar and cuffs--sometimes reveated in the girdle, which passes twice around the waist and ties with long ends flying. One smart little blouse for wear with a white silk sports suit was in broad rose and white candy-striped silk. This model emphasized the double- breasted front fastening crossing over in broad revers--and buttoning with a double-row of pink bone but- tons stitched on with white silk twist, The cuffs and wide-around collar were of sheerest rose lawn stitched in white and all the seams were hem- stitched, carrying out the same effec- tive combination, - The sports . hat made to wear with this blouse was in the same wide pink-and-white stripe, and 'ornamented with a single large white kid poppy. Another very pretty waist in silk shown by one of the exclusive local shops was an effective and pictures- que model of the smock variety, fall- ing loose over the skirt to the hip line, just slightly drawn in by a rich blue girdle of woven silk.

Oth- er pleasing photoplays, "The Doctor of the Afternoon Arm"; "A Jitney Driver's Romance," whidh is very funny and the Topical Travel series. Dan Gracey in a comedy singing of- fering made a hit. His songs were new and lively and offered in a somewhat different style, while Col-| ling and Hart in a 'buresque on, strong stunts offered something new | and original and at the same time] laughable. It is a good DIN and] should attract capacity houses for| the balance of the week. i Musical Comedy Coming. "Nobody Home," a musical com- edy abounding in novelties from scenic and musical standpoints, and with the original cast headed by Lawrence Grossmith, Zoe Barnett, Charles Judels, Maude Odell, Mignon MecGibeny, Quentin Tod, Nigel Bar- rie, Carl Lyle, Helen Clarke, Alison McBain and fofty othars, will be pre- sented at the Grand on Thursday evening, May 11th, There is a chor-| us of twenty-five pretty girls and an| augmented orchestra, i At Strand Theator, | The bill shown at this popular | theatre last evening is one of the | best ever shown here. The feature- | photo-play is a G-act Triangle film, | "The Corner," in which George Faw-| cett, Willard Mack and Clara Wil-| liams are seen to great advantage. | The comedy is a 3-part Triangle Keystone, "Fatty and Mabel Adrift," starring Fatty Arbuckle and Mabel Normand. It is one of the funniest comedies ever seen here and contains as well some remarkably wonderful scenes. This one picture itself is well worth the price of admission. shown, making up a two and three- hard to beat. = The same bill will be repeated again to-night and at the] Saturday shows. Portrays Siren-Woman The "vampire" woman is a fav- orite type for photoplaywrights to choose in writing for the screen. Wo- man as the siren who lures men to, destruction has been a subject for poets and authors ever since old | Homer told the story of Circe. The] heroine of "The Sphinx," the Red] Feather feature which comes to the triffin theatre on Friday and Satur-| day is of the siren-vampire type. "phe Sphinx" is a dancer who has a heart of flint and a soul which is! "a sea of despair." She lures her| victims to their doom with a*laugh | for their agonies. When the op- | portunity comes, she finds herself in the possession of a very real, trouble- | some heart, which torments Ther with anxiety at the foolish passion of a youth, and which causes her very real emotion when the "one man" comes into her life. This powerful play is. the justification of the siren, presenting, at last, her | story from her own point of view. | The role is splendidly interpreted | by Miss Effie Shannon, while Mr: Kelcey is equally well cast as the | "one man." Jriffin's, Friday and] Saturday. Creatore's Great Triumph One of the most interesting] events in store for Kingston is the appearance here, May 17th, of Cre- | atore and his 'band. In speaking of | this noted organization the Boston | Giche says: . "The secret of Cre- atore's success is his leading. It represents sheer abandonment, by 9 | passionate nature, to the emotions of the music. Creatore is Italian-- | fie throws reserve to the winds, and} there you are. The audience wat-| ches the wonderful leader even as) tis men do. There is no show-off; | Creatore evidently, and beyond the possibility of mistake by even the] Hlindest, feels every motion to which | he gives expression. At the end of | the concert the audience refused to | disperse, and after Creatore had been called out half a dozen times | in order to get rid of his admirers, he got his band together and re peated 'The Star Spangled Banner, with an accompaniment of musical | fireworks that sent everybody home |} in an exalted state of mental ela | tion." | -------------- Try Gibson's Red Cross Drug Store for developing and printing.
