Sc. TRAGEDY FOLLOWED RUSSIAN SHOEMAKER Death of James Modney Re- calls Drowning of Employee and Children's Tragic End. The final chapter in the drowning of G&8rge Palmer, shoemaker, which occurred some time ago, was closed on Saturday morning when James Modney, his employer, pass- ed away at the Kingston General Hospital from an ailment he had been fighting for years. "Jim," as he was knowa to hun- dreds of Kingstonians, was a Rus- sian. He wag a good workman, and when one arm became helpless .bLe- cause of his ailment he worked along and hired help. The late George Palmer was one of his hired workmen, and "Jim," always con- scientious to a superlative degree, blamed himself in some measure for Palmer's untimely end, though there wag no reason why he should. Short- ly after Palmer's death he started to lose ground in his fight for life and the end came Saturday. Other tragedies occurred in Mod- ney's life. When he became 2siab- lished in Canada he gent to Russia for his wife and children but the condition of the country was such that no satisfactory communication could be made.

LETTERS | To The Editor Dog Show at Fair. Bath Road, Aug. 9.--(To the Editor) :--I am pleased to make fur- ther announcement that I have been successful (through the generosity of the City Council) in securing suf- ficient space in their building sit- uated upon the city fair grounds for the holding of a dog show .in con- nection with the Kingston Industrial Exhibition, Sept. 16-20th; and fur- thermore I have been also successful in securing the services of W. A. Twigg as superintendent of said branch of the Kingston Industrial Exhibition, who handled last year's dog show successfully with 110 dogs benched in tent, with an up-to- date building and all new benches. This doubtless will be a great fea- ture of the big exhibition. Mr, Twigg with his thirty years experience at the large dog shows and-this being his fifth show handled in Kingston, with these aforesaid conditions pre- vailing will result in a bigger and better dog show than ever presented to our visitors. The Kennel Club of our city have intimated their desire to assist most fully. Let our slogan be Better" and ali-together 1924 exhibition. R. J. BUSHELL, Sec.<treas and manager, "Bigger and for the !
