Edward Godfrey Payne, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. John Waiter Payne, 2356 Montreal street, passed away on Tuesday night after a ghort dllness. Deceased was one year and nine months old.

The Late Mrs, W. H. Aubiu, Mrs. Monica Aubin, wife of Wil- liam Henry Aubin, 196 King street, | yashed away at the General I'ospi- [tad on Thursday morning, after an | illness extending slightly over a week. The late Mre. Audin was born in Portsmouth, but had spent the majority of her life in Kinga ton. She was a Methodist in relig- fon, and a member of Queen street church, and was formerly a member of Brock street church. She was an ardent church worker, although quiet and retiring in disposition, and her passing will be the cause for general regret among an ®xception ally lange circle of friends. Deceas< od wes the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McCaugherty. Besides her sorrowing husband, she is survived by two daughters, one son, William H. Aubin, , Kings- ton; four brothers and three sls- ters, ome of whom, Mrs. Elisabeth IA GRAPH PICTURE: CONDITIONS Mo Mrs. J. F. McFadyen Spoke on| Conditions in Able Address. Mrs. J, F. McFadyen, in Ind'a, painted a graphic picture of conditions in that land in addres {sing the Women's Missionary Society {of Chalmers church at thelr regular |meeting in tho Sunday scheol hall {| Wednesday afternoon. | Prof. and Mj=. McFadyen were sit- uated at Naggar, in the heart ot {India and one of the centres-of the | Mahratta tribe. The lot of the native | there was very distressing indeed. | The poverty of the East was incon- [ceivable to Canadians. At the same time, alongside it, tha-e was great wealth, Coolits were not allowed tc charge more than two cents for carrying burdens. There were beg- gars innumerable, blind, lame, witn- erad, lepars and others with similar loathsome diseases. Many thous- ands were daily on the verge of star- vation, The. government was doing all it could, it was true, but there were no poorhouses, nor hospitals. The lifg seemed to be ingrained in the religion of the people and there ap- peared to be nothing to bring up to) a h'gher level of civilization. Mrs, Mofadyen gave an ousatly| vivid description of the curious and shameful religions of the people, contrasting them with the quiet hap- py faith of those who had become Christians. For instance, in the temples, ware dancing girls whe were born to a life of shame and who were hired out by the priests for miloney. Before such apparently hopeless conditions Christianity was meeting with marked success: Oné of the girls from a temple was converted while in a Christian Woman's hos- pital, and is now one of the hospi- tal's best murses. Other remarkable conversions were related by Mrs. McFadyen. During the meeting presentations were made of a life membership pin | to Mrs. Hedley and of a life mem- | barship certificate to Miss Shannon, in recognition of their work when in charge of the Macgillivray Mission Board. Mrs. Macalister, who of- ficiafted, made many pleasing refer- ences to their valuable services. The meeting which wag well at- tended, was presided over by Mrs. | R. J. Wilson. MILD WEATHER APPRECIATED It Will Be Great Help to the Fuel Situation in Kingston. The Weather Man hit it right Wed- nesday, when he predicted milder weather for Thursday, Following the severe cold spell of several days, it was greatly appreciated by citizens.
