"There is Nothing in Drinking But An Empty Pocketbook and a Big "Head," Said His Worship to One of The Tipplers." Magistrate Farrell is off on his holidays, enjoying a well-earned rest. In his absence, Mayor handled the scales of justice at the Police Court on Monday morning. James Scullion, who limped into the court room, was charged with vagrancy, but as a result of the little talk the Acting-Magistrate had with him it was found that Scullion had purchased a bottle of liquor for a soldier, but had been nipped by the police before he completed the deal, and that he was now out the price of a bottle of whiskey which the police confiscated. He was arrested by Constables Mullinger and Graham. Scullion stated that he 'was tempted to sell the liquor to the man in khaki, as he needed some change to buy tobacco. He promised to get out of the city as soon as possible, and he was given a chance, Michael Ryan was up for being drunk. The hot weather tempted him to take 'two too many" as he put it, and the whiskey combined with the heat, put him under. Sergt. Bateson and Constable Arniel looked after him. He wanted to get below Gananoque, and said he had the price to pay for his boat fare. He promised to go "straight" to his destination, and His Worship gave his the chance to make good. _ Theophila"' © Saburma, another week-end drunk, said it was his first appearance and hoped it would be the last. The Acting-Magistrate hoped to, too. "Remember that there is nothing in this drinking but an empty pock- Richardson | bee, Lyd 2 | -------- i PASSED AWAY VERY SUDDENLY ! ON SUNDAY NIGHT. 111 Only Five Minutes, Cause of Death Being Heart Failure--Was Super . Intendent of Locomotive Works, And a Clever Inventor. Willlam Yellowley, superintendent of the Canadian Locomotive Vorks, passed away very suddenl¥" about 10.40 o'clock Sunday night at - his T 69 Union street east. Death was due to heart failure, and was altogether unexpected, as he had never complained of his heart. Indeed, he had always enjoyed ex- cellent health, and on Sunday seem- ed to be even feeling better than usual. In the afternoon he was out in his motor boat, and took great| pleasure out of the spin. He spent the evening with his family, and retired shortly after ten o'clock. Previous to retiring had his youngest daughten, ily, aged eleven, on his knee, and was laugh- ing and joking with her. He had n in bed only a few minutes when Mrs. Yellowley noticed that his body was twitching as if in pain. She immediately summoned the family, a member of which Wurriedly set out for a doctor, but death ensued be- fore medical help arrived. Only five minutes elapsed from the begin ning of the attack till the end. Mr. Yellowley never spoke, apparently being unconscious. The deceased was fifty-seven years of age, and was born in Newcastle, England. When a young man he| came to Pittsburg, Pa, where he ac-| cepted a position with the locomo-| tive company of that city. His in- dustry and ability brought rapid promotion, and he was holding a re- sponsible position when he came to the Kingston Locomotive Works| over fifteen years ago, to accept the| position of assistant superintendent. | His expert knowledge and his me-| chanical genius made him a valuable| employee of the company, and when| the position of superintendent be-| came vacant in 1911, through the re-| tirement of Harry Tandy, Mr. Yel- lowley was given the appointment.| He was equal to the added responsi-| bility, discharging his duties faith- fully and well, and at all times show- ing consideration and courtesy to the employees. He was thoroughly ac-| quainted- with the construction of a| locomotive, and was reckoned one| of the best men of Canada in ma-} chine shop practice. ! Mr. Yellowley was a clever inven-| tor, and had invented a number of] time a¥id labor saving devices. His| etbook and a big head," remarked the Court. : | The accused could not deny this] statement, as he counted up his] small change and reviewed things | in general on "the morning after] the night before."

B, Several members of the Frontenac Chapter, 1. 0. D. E., have received letters from patients in No. 7 Gen- eral Hospital (Queen's) to whom comforts were sent. Miss Bessie L. Horsey, Albert street, has received the following letter: "Just a few lines to thank you very heartily for the small bag of} useful articles I received. I am pretty sick -- too badly wounded to write--eo0 I am having it written for me, I am in bed with a big ban- dage around my head covering some severe scalp wounds and a bad laceration on the back of my right hand. "However, I'm glad to be here, well cared for instead of being worse off. : "Perhaps you would like to know a few personal items about me, Well I'm nineteen years old. Before the war I was a clerk in London, Eng-|Hi land. I generally spent my even- ings at the Y. M. C. A. where 1 did a lot of reading. I also have a keen appreciation of music. "We all long for the end of the war that we may return to our civil- ian duties. 1 suppose you are of the same idea across the water. "Again thanking you for your, kindness, I am, yours sincerely, J. N. Calvert, No, 2387, 1st London Rifie Brigade." Miss Dorothy Hawley, street, has also received which follows: "I received your nige neat 'handy bag' which I thank you very sincere- ly. All the articles are very useful. I'm not In the habit of using much talcum but I'll try to get used to it. Do many of the Canadian girls use it? I suppose you would like to know some thing about me. Well the writer of this letter who is tak- ing care of me will tell you. There is nothing else that I would like you to send me, I am not quite well enough to make a good job of writ- ing this myself. Charles Richardson, No. 15,331, 3 Lincolns, Graimsby, England." Enclosed is a letter from Dan Nicholson, who says: "Charles Rich- ardson, the patient who received your bag has been here nearly three weeks with a wound in the upper back of his leg. He had a'high temperature, poor appetite, and suf- fered much pain in his hip. "Capt. Quigley X-rayed him and saw a small piece of shrapnel at the top of the femor and just about in the hip joint, He is about the same now, perhaps a little better. As yet they are undecided whether to run the risk of removing the shrap- nel or sending him back to England. Capt. Madden was in charge of him until a few days age when he was taken to Capt Archie Kane's ward. "He was born in Linconshire and is twenty-four years of age. He went to school until he was fourteen years of age. Then for eighteen months he went as an apprentice to a baker, Then he was fireman in publié¢ works for six years. 'After that he ftayed at home for a year and appliedf{to join the territorial army in that ¥me, as war had been on for four or five months. Since then he has been up at front thirteen months and only missed one day his battalion was in the trenches. He is a very easy patient to handle and deserves your gift." The Frontenacs are now going to start out on a Christmas stocking collectionrand are going to try and get large numbers for patients who will be unable to go to their homes for Christmas. \ Tennis Tournament.
