The city of Kingston was shocked on Tuesday morning to learn of the death of one of the most prominent merchants of the city, in tho person of James Forrest, owner of the For- rest Men's Furnishing Store on King street. Deceased was found dead in his store before eight o'clock in the morning, 'when his brother, William, who was in the habit of attending to the fires and general cleaning up of the store, went there. William Forrest had just opened the door when he be- came aware that something was wrong, so dense was the volume of gas fumes that issued from the place. He glanced inside and saw his brother lying on the floor near the front of the shop about a foot away from the gas pipe where it had been broken- off. He immedlate- ly rushed over to the police station and Police Detective Mullinger and Constable Garrity went to tha store and found that Mr. Forrest was dead. Coroner Dr. A. E. Ross was summoned, and after going into the case thoroughly decided that an TH- quest was unnecessary as Mr. For- rest had come to his death by as- phyxiation. "The coroner believed that the gas had been on for several Yours and an occupant of, the floor above stated that he smelt gas about three o'clock. People living over the store were not affected by the gas. After the coroner had viewed the body, a call was sent to John Cor- nelius, undertaker, and the remains taken to his rooms. The news of Mr. 'Forrest's death was received with deep regret by his legion of friends in the city, who had known him as one fair in his dealings with everyone and gener- ally well liked by those who knew him. Mr. Forrest had been in busi- ness for the past twenty-five years, carrying on his men's furnishings trade. His business had shown considerable progress of late, Deceased was born in the city and resided here all his life. He was a Roman Catholic in religion. His sister, Mrs. Patrick Walsh, prede- ceased him about three weeks ago, and since that time Mr. Forrest had "worried a great deal, as he and his sister had been great companions. He is survived by two brothers, Ed- ward Forrest and Willlam Forrest, and a niece, Miss Anita Walsh, all of the city. The funeral will be held on Thursday morning from the resi- dence, 82 Earl street, to St. Mary's | cathedral and thence to St. Mary's cemetery. 4 Kingston Rotary Club ~~ Shoe and Stocking Fund The citizens of Kingston have a splendid opportunity to help needy families in Kingston, through the shoe and stocking fund of the King- ston Rotary Club.

Angrove, on Tuesday. "The city is doing all it can to help out in the way of pro- viding employment, but . there is need also for help on the part of the citizens, as, the city cannot provide work for all who aré out of work." The Mayor stated that citizens who can, should provide work for men out of work, in doing odd jobs and chores around the house. He point- ed out that any work of this kind would help out the situation, and he was free to admit that the unemploy- ment situation in Kingston had reached a very serious state. "There are men who refuse to take a dole," continued the Mayor, "and are asking that they be given work, and the city has no work to offer them." The civic stone quarry is in oper- ation, but it cannot provide work for a very large number. At the present time there are twenty-three men en- gaged in breaking stone. Quite a number of men have been given employment shovelling snow and also in cutting jce around ves- gels in the harbor.
