Dewey, manager of the Dom- | inion Fish Company's store, and who | resided at 171 Stuart street. Mr. De- | wey had been ill for over two months, {and about three weeks ago, under- | went a critical operation in_the Gen- | eral Hospital. Complications set in jaud he passed peacefully away at one G'clock, on Friday morning. The late Mr. Dewey was widely known "in Kingston and the sur- rounding district, and the news of hig death was learned with sincere | regret by his wide circle of friends. | Possessed of a kind and genial dis position, and most obliging and cour- teous in his business relations, he nade many friends, and to know him was to love him for his many fine qualities of heart and mind. Deceased was born in Colborne, a con of the late Josiah Dewey, and was in his fifty-fourth year. He had been a resident of Kingston for twen- | ty-five years, and for fifteen years | had been connected with the fish | company. Prior to entering this busi- | ness, he sailed on the lakes for a | number of years. He was a member | of St. Paul's church, and also a mem- ber of St. John's Lodge, A. F. & A. M. | He Is survived by his wife, a daugh- | | ter of Capt. Malcolm Shaw, Stuart | Street, one son, Dean, Renfrew, and | | hambra, California; one | Charles, Renfrew, and one Mrs. 8. L.

M.C., officer commanding the | | nts jaw; and their attitude towards { him was, for this reason, I believe, | very unfavorable, | In October last Crockett reported | sick to a medical officer of the de- | partment of S.C.R.,, owing to a {troublesome cough which would not | yield to treatment. He was re- | ferred to the superintendent of Mowat Sanitarium for examination. This medical officer recommended treatment in a sanitorium as the best solution of his bronchial trou- bles. The medical officers of the | D.S.C.R. did not act upon this re- | commendation, but informed Crock- ett he was being sent to Westminster Hospital, London, Ont. This insti- | tution is to all intents and pur- | poses an insane asylum. Also they | informed Crockett that his depen- dant wife and small children would receive the usual allowances from the department. During his stay in this institution Crockett was con- tinually attended; not allowed even | to strike a match for his own use, |and forced to eat his food with two spoons instead of a knife and fork. He had no occupation for his mind | except during two or three hours vocational work daily, and lost con- siderably' in weight and physical condition. Mrs. Crockett, his wife, was advised by officers of the de- partment in Kingston not to visit Crockett in London. ' Nevertheless, on Crockett"s application to the pro- per authorities in London, trans- portation was issued to his wife from Kingston to London for the purpose of this visit. Crockett, on the arrival of his wife--notwith- standing the inference of his in- sanity--was given a piss from 1.30 {p.m. to 9 p.m., and after arrival leave of absence was granted to him for one week, the officials at West- minster allowing him to proceed home with his wife, Crockett, natu- rally, not being desirous of remain- ing in that institution amongst ra- bidly insane patients suffering from many desegses, syphilis included. The D.S.C.R. in Kingston now wash their hands entirely of Crock- ett, on the grounds that he has re- fused further treatment; further his employment in the Vetcraft Work- shops, D.S.C.R,, 1s not continued. The following points arise : local R.C.A., always has the interests | of his men at heart, and he directed the minister's attention to the condi- | tion of the quarters at that time, and | an expenditure was authorized, ! A LATE APPRECIATION Col. (Rev.) John Pringle Gets | Notice of Mention in Despatches. ' Although it now over four years since Sir John French honored him by special: mention in official de- | spatches frem the front, Lieut.-Col. | John Pringle, Sydney, N.S., has Just | been officially notified of the fact of | honorary mention in a letter to-day | from Winston Spencer Churchill, | war secretary, which reads : | "Canadian forces: Rev. J. Prin- | gle, chaplain, was mentioned in a | despatch from Field Marshal Sir | John D. P. French, G.C.B., O.M., G. | C.V.0., K.C.M.G, dated 30th Novem- | ber, 1915, for gallant and distin- | guished services on the field. I have | it in command from the King to | record his Majesty's high apprecia- | tion of the services rendered." Col. Pringle is a graduate of Queen's University, Kingston. Trip to Howe Island. | The steamer Wolfe Islander made | a trip to Howe Island Thursday | morning, and brought up a Suaniity | of freight and a number of passen- | gers. In discussing the trip, Joseph | Garrah, a prominent resident of | Howe Island, said that it was very rarely that they had the good for- | tune to make a trip in January. The | boat made the return trip at 2.30 p.m., and took down a large ship- ment of supplies. It is not likely, | in view of the rapid formation of the | ice now taking place, that another trip will be made.
