Attorney Alversom Asks Substantial Punishment--Blames Love of Liquor for Client's Passion for Setting Costly Fires, Watertown, N.Y, Standard Robert G. Grimshaw, who has ad- mitted setting at least three fires in the town of Cape Vincent, the last of which resuited in the destruction of property valued at $30,000, includ- ing twenty-six head of cattle, a num- ber of horses and hogs, on Monday withdrew his plea of not guilty to arson in the third degree and plead- ed guilty. Sentence wasg.deferred by Judge Reeves, Former District Attorney Claude Alverson appeared for Grimshaw and made an extended plea in which he told the court that a substantisl punishment - should be meted out, that he wag not asking for a sUs- pended sentence, nor did he want his client sent to the reformatory. He told Judge Reeves how he had had the young man watched at the county jail by Dr. J. A. Barnette and read a letter from Dr. Bafnette in which the physician stated that at the present time the young man is sane, although he was of the opinion that alcoholic beverages had impair- ed his faculties. From the statement of Mr. Alver- son it would appear that the cause for the commission of crime on the part of young Grimshaw can be traceable to the use of intoxicating liquor, and that he can, to use the' expression of acquaintances in Cape Vincent, carry a load without show- ing it in his walk.

It appeared that the night Rhinebeck big barn outside the vil- lage of Cape Vincéent was burned, October 29th last, with all of the horses and cattle, that Grimshaw had been in the village drinking and had repeatedly asked for matches with whieh to light his pipe and that when he left a companion after they had started home that he asked for more matches; that Grimshaw went into the barn on the way home, set fire on the barn floor with the coals from his pipe, then went home, changed his clothes, had a lunch and aroused his father, Grimshaw be- ing one of the first to arrive at the scene of the fire, first being observed standing at the corner of the house with his arms folded watching the fire, Mr. Alverson said he was too drunk to assist in saving any of the property. Six fires had occurred in the vicinity of Cape Vincent, and Mr, Alverson said that his client had set at least three of these and always when he had been drinking. At fikst he was inclined to think that-G the observations made of Him at the jail had become convinced that he is not 'at the present time, and for that reason did not want him sent to Matteawan, which, of course, the court could not do.

Sir John Gibson expects to visit France in connection with 'Red Cross affairs. Allan is here as a member of the international purchasing commission, having crossed the At- lantic eleven times since the out- break of the war. » NOT DIVIDED BY DEATH.

With such a variety of backgrounds, furnished by Indians and by settlers from many differing countries, its geography is a mosaic of its his- tory. The patient student finds much to reward him and to stimulate his interest in a pursuit as fascinating as old prints or rare books. There is little of a popular nature on the subject in book form, Gardiner's "Nothing But Names" being a sort of standard, and itself containing enough information for almost a year's study. Another source for * the "student comes in the fifteenth annual report of the Geographic Board of Can- ada, containing decisions fot two years affecting several thousands of names in various parts of the coun- try. This board settles disputes in names and spelling, and in its de- cisions gives some description for the object, and usually the origin, of the name. It is in the latter that most interest will be found, for it mirrors mueh of the history of the country for a century or more. Here are shown little tendencies of the times, sometimes irony, often pride worthy and national, sometimes ex- tremely local. Is Canada's Prime Minister slow- moving and irresistible, or is he as cold as an iceberg? This question arises when one finds that "Borden" has been given as name to a 'glacier | at the foot of Mount Sir Robert" in the coast district of British Colum- bia. Two names dear to alt allied peo- ples are perpetuated. "Edith Cayell" is given to a mount in Jasper Park, Alberta, "after Nurse Cavell, judie- ially murdered by the Germans in and "Warneford" is the name of a river in British Col- umbia, "after Reginald John Warne- ford, V.C., who brought down a zeppelin single-handed, 7th June, 1915, and was killed ten days later, aged 23." ™ One turns to Halg with similar ex- .pectations of war memories, but Rockies was named after Captain R. W, Haig, as- tronomer on the British Boundary Commission, Pacific to the Rockies, away back in 1858-62. Two Ontario hamlets have decid- ed' to put on airs, whether cosmo- politan or not. Sniders' Corners, in Halton county, is to be known here- after merely as Snider, and Nelles' Corners as Nelles. It is somewhat | thrilling to learn that the latter was named after "a general merchant named Nells, who was murdered in -his home about 1860." Another sug- gestion, of local pride 's the order to call it Penetanguishene now, not Penetang, as jealous neighbors often dub the Georgian Bay town, the word being Indian for "the place of the white rolling sands." © mames.

Lord Car- narvon of the "Carnamon terms" episode, settling the differences be- tween the Dominion and British Col- umbia in the early seventies, Is known of now, through a mountain in that Province. Dennis is another mountain there, perpetuating Col. John Stoughton Dennis, an eminent surveyor, whose activities in Mani- toba on instructions from the Do- minion Government had much to do with starting the rebellion of 1870. Grasett township and station in Al- goma do honor to Toronto's Chief of Police, while Earl Grey mount and pass in British Columbia derive their name from the fact that the former Governor-General went on a horseback trip through the pass in 1907. Not so national in interest were the origin of Lake Loucks in Peter- boro ecunty, "after a settler," and Edna, a point on Manitoulin Island, "after a child of Mrs, Purvis, Burnt Island." After all the prettiest places in Canada are derived from the In- dians, whether the Mienfit's of 'the Maritime Provincessor the tribes .of the mountains, and the Pacific coast. Petitcodiac, in New Bruns- wick, means "the river that bends back." Ombabika Bay in Lake Nipi- gon means "the gap between two promontories." Okotoks, a mount and a town south of Calgary, are Indian for 'stony crossing," refer- ring to a ford of Sheep Rivep) Kitimat, a village and an arm of Douglas Channel in British Colum- bia, is Indian for "the people of the snow," while Kaslo means "where blackberries grow." Famous Invalids. Those who are afflicted with 1l1- health may derive some comfort from the statement, quoted in a re- cent book on 'Suffering and the War," that "Coleridge claimed that the three greatest works of the nine- teen centuries were all men of feeble health--Spinoza's 'Ethics,' Bacon's 'Novum Organum,' and Kant's 'Critique of Pure Rea- son." As another instance of the triumph of the spirit, Sir Isat New- ton, it is -tated, was a nat unpro- missing child, with a fr&il body and poor eyesight.
