Buffalo Courier. * tnt | Watertown, N.Y., like Kingston, is to secure a much-needed new pu '{ consideration at the Inquest, had not been inspected. The boller was repaired by Lemmon & Sens, Kingston, in April, 1917, and the chief boiler inspector for the pro- vince of Ontario was notified that the boiler was ready for inspection. That official, instead of ordering an ihspection, writes to the firm that did the work that "as the work was no doubt done in a thorough and workmanlike manner," it was pre- sumed to be satisfactory, and Mr. Anglin might safely use it. He promised that at some time In the future an inspector would be fin- structed to cail and see the firm about it. This is very important testimony that was not availdble for as it shows just where the responsibility for the accident and the loss of two lives les, and, incidentally, that the office of the chief boiler inspector for the province requires' investigat- ing. If it is the business of this official to inspect boilers, why is the duty not carried out? In the case referred to Mr. Med- calf certainly made a serious mis- take in supposing that the boiler was in a sxfe condition, and that by ne- glecting i. inspect it he was saving money to the owner. If it is his duty to inspect boilers and he ne- glects it, the government must take the responsibility for any conse- quences, | PUBLIC OPINION Time To Drop Them.

(Buffalo Courier) Lloyd- George gets the credit for the seftlement of the British coal miners' strike. The "little Welsh wiztrd" seems to be able to rise to every emergency he has to face. Almost Gallic Wit. (Buffalo Express) Marquis Okuma, leading Japanese statesman, discloses almost a Gallic wit when he counters against Am- erican attacks on Japan by assuring a Filipino leader that he is strong- ly in favor of Philippines independ- ence. Our Philippines for their \Shantung, eh? A Shining Example. (Guelph Mercury) Lloyd-George is a strong example to a lot of Canadians who hanker after titles. If any man won the war, Lloyd-George did, but he's big enough to decline a peerage.

Kingsley and His Children of Charles Kingsley is be- ing celebrated in England. Those who have read "Westward Ho!" "The Water Babies," '"The Heroes," and other and honest and independent thinker and of the happiness of his family life. In "Charles Kingsley, His Let~ ters and Memories of His Life," edits od by his wife, we read: "The family gatherings were the brightest hours in the day, lighted up as they werd not only by love, but by his marvellous humor. 'I wonder," he would say, 'if there is In England as in ours." HIS summer, the centenary | writings by this delightful auther|. will be interested to read of his love for and understanding of children 80 much laughing in any other home| that our feeling for wim lacked that fear and restraint that make boys call their father 'the governor... I remember him as essentially the same to all of 'us always; utterly unchanged and unchanging since the time that he used to draw Sunday pleturel for us, to the fime when he treated us as men and women of the world; there were no long lectures, no pithy arguments; but in his own lite he showed, spoke, and lived his doctrines, so that his utter unselfish- ness, his genial tenderness toward their mother and themselves, gave the children an example that could not be passed by unnoticed, however unworthily followed, * 'Perhaps the brightest picture of the past that I look back to now--- that we can all look back to--is, not the eager look of delight with which he used to hail any of our little suc- cesses--not any special case of aps proval, but it is the drawing room at Eversley in the evenings when we were all at home and by ourselves. 'There he sat, with one hand in mother's, forgetting his own hard work and worty in leading our fun and frolic with a kindly smile on his lips, and a loving light in that bright gray eye.' "But to speak of his home with out mentioning his love of animals would be to leave the picture incom- plete," .the book continues, "His dog and his horse were his friends, and they knew it, and understood his voice and eye. His dog Dandy, a fine Scotch terrier, was his companion in all his parish walks, attended at the cottage lectures and school lessons, and was his and the children's friend for 13 years. He took great delight in cats; the stable had al- ways its white cat, and the house its black or 'tabby, whose graceful movements he never tired of watch- ing. On the rectory lawn dwelt a family of natterjacks (running toads), who lived on from year to year in the}same hole, which the scythe was "never allowed to ap- proach. He made friends with a pair of sand wasps, one of which he had saved from drowning. They lived in a crack of the window in his dressing room, and every spring he prould look out eagerly for them or their children as they came out of, or returned to the same crack. The little flycatcher, who built its nest every year under his bedroom win- dow, was a constant joy to him." '".'Many, now scattered far and wide," says one who knew and loved the rector in his home, and has an especial right to speak, 'must remem- ber how picturesqtie the rectory itself was. Here--in this beautiful home- scene, and truly ideal English rec- tory----- was the fountainhead---as I certainly think, and as he often said ~--of all his strength and greatness. Indeed, great as I knew him to be in his books, I found him greater at his own fireside. Home was to him the sweetest, the fairest, the most roman- tic thing in life; and there all that was best and brightest in him shone with steady and purest lustre.'

JOHN R. ROND RUN OVER BY A G.T.R. TROOP TRAIN, Was Engaged as Sectionman and Be- longed to Montreal--Was Carry ing Pail of Water When Hit by Train. This week holds the record for fa- talities, a fifth victim of an accident being John R. Rond, of Montreal, a Grand Trunk Railway section -man, who was killed by a troop train, as it drew into the outer station at 4 Pm. on Wednesday. Rond was walking along the track, carrying a pail of water, and apparently oblivi- ous of the approaching train. The engine struck him and his skull was crushed. He is reported io have been slightly deaf. Coroner W. W. Sands was sum. moned and after learnfng the" eir- cumstances decided tp hold an in- guest at the police court on Thursday tvening. The body was removed to 8. 8. Corbett's undertaking parlors, The déceased was about thirty-five years of .age - snd - married. His brother-in-law, Joseph Gougeou, also of Montreal, worked with him on the section under J, Knight, foreman. The 'troop train was under Con- ductor W. Reynolds afd Engineer Hunter and was travelling at good speed, and was just one mile east of the outer depot when the accident oe- curred. The unfortunate man was seen on the tack carrying a pail of water and the engineer, it is stated, [expected to see him step aside off the rails, but the man apparently mistook the track the train was actually on, if he saw it approaching, and the engineer was unable to stop in time. The cowcatcher struck the man and death was instantaneous. The skull was crushed and bones were broken. The train was stopped and the body was taken on board and conveyed to the station, where it was received by 8. 8. Corbett, undertaker.
