KINGSTON CHINESE NENORIAL SERVICE | For the Late President Sun Yat Sen, Whom They Very Deeply Mourn. Kingston has seen many strange { public, gatherings but among the | most remarkable of these must be numbered the solemn memorial ser- vice for the late Dr. Sun Yat Ben held by the Chinese of this district in the Chinese Nationalist head- quarters on Montreal street Sunday afternoon. An altar had been erected, surmounted by a large por- trait of the late president of the Chinese Republic, and it was before this altar that the teremonies and addresses took place. The Canadian visitors, both ladies and gentlemen, occupied the seats and much of the standing room so that the Chinese tended to be crowded out of their own service and looked on from the doorways. Nothing could have ex- ceede@ their politeness and their obvious pleasure that people of an allen nationality should meet with them to honor their beloved leader. At the head of the stairs the visi- tors were politely shaken hands with by two officfals and conducted to the hall past a solemn line of Chinese, most of them in tuxedos or dress ALLIES TAXI SERVICE Phone 240 To all parts of the city 25 comer Station included.

Above this altar was the commanding and sad face of the lost leader framed in purple, white and black.

Borders of funerary flowers with texts and prayers attached occupied the outer edges of the altar and the nearby floor. The whole front of the room was framed by three large banners or signs in black silk with while characters and purple borders. That across the top might be translated, "May the spirit of Dr. Sun live for- evef." On the left was, "The whole city mourns his demise," and on the right, "The kernel of the nut is gone." On every side the walls were hung-with strips of cotton ofi which had been painted prayers and praises of the late president. Any one with the idea that the Chinese are a stolid, unemotional people must have changed his mind as he waited for the ceremonies to begin. There was a constant bustle afid an atmosphere of excitement not to say anxiety. At half past two Mr. Jone Lbe of the New England Cafe came for- ward as chairman, and an orchestra in an adjoining room struck up a solemn but not Chinese tune. As the music died away a crier called out in a loud voice and the audience was motioned to stand. A perfect and almost breathless stillness fell as all stood for possibly five minutes in bowed silence. From the street outside floated snatches of conversa- tion and loud laughter, making all the more impressive the silence with- in, as Orient and Occident joined in tribute to the memory of a Sten} man. Another loud command' & last broke the quiet and the audience were seated. Right men then came forward and ranged themselves be- fore the altar. Together they bowed stiffly three times. Then one placed a large wreath of white jasmine be- fore the picture. Mr. Lee Kim Wang, secretary of the local Chin- ese National Party, them went for- ward, holding in his hand a packet of prayers written on black-border- ed paper. As he read, one after an- other of the Chinese, both those at the front and those crowding at the rear, were overcome with emotion and gave way to tears. This contin- ued for some twenty minutes. Then the orchestra played another west- ern piece. A long and flyent ad- dress was then given from the plat- form by Mr. Frank Lem. After this the men around the altar bowed and retired. ! A Chinese youth, Mr. Yep, of Queen's Medical school, then read a paper in English briefly sketching the life of the late president. He stated that Dr. Sun Yat Sen was greater than the George Washington of this continent. He told of the early revolutionary activities of this patriot, of his defeat and flight, of his subsequent triumphant return and election as first president of the Chinese republic and of the later difficulties which overwhelmed him. But to the last he labored for the | unification of his beloved country. | The speaker then resumed his own { language and discoursed at consid- | erable length. [ Mr. Taylor of Queen's was the | next speaker. Mr. Taylor Is a you who been but : 3 : i J to and it a China would carry out his purp Mr. Lee Min enlarged ° on interna- tional equality. Other speakers were Messrs. Lee Ling, Hum, Lui You Nam, Wong Kong, Fong Min, Mon Gen, who brought greetings from towns between Belleville, Tweed and Gananoque. The ceremony was concluded by a brief expression of thanks to the Canadian visitors who had joined in this service, which was being held simultaneously all the' world over. and a request that all remain for a group photograph which would be taken outside immediately. For the Canadians the ceremony was a unique experience. To see their Chinese acquaintances of the restaurant and laundry, acting as po- lite hosts, conducting a difficult ceremony with impressiveness, tak- ing the platform with assurance and proclaiming their message with ap- parent ease and force, gave a, new and attractive impression 0? *hese Asiatics who lead their secluded lives among us. FARMERS SEEDING ON WOLFE ISLAND Islanders Unable to Secure a Market for Thelr Pressed Hay--Notes of Interest. Wolfe Island, April 13--Many farm- ers started seeding during the past week and report the high and to work excellent. If weather permits, it will be general this week. New seeding is looking fine and clover gives promise -of being a bumper crop. The shipp- ing price for calves last week was nine cents, hogs thirteen cents. A large number of Islander's press- ed their hay during the past winter, and have been unable to find a market for it, since then. It is one commodity that is very hard to dispose of. One by one the old landmarks are passing away. This week we regret to have to announce the death of Mr. George Smithers, after an illness ex- tending over a period of three years. Deceased was renouned as a boat builder. There are those still living who remember his prbclivities as a skater. He was of a retired disposition, but had a host of friends who offer their sympathy to his two sorrowing sisters. His funeral took place today, and was largely attended. Service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Contrell. Mrs. Henry Hinckley, passed away this morning, Mrs. James Davis, who is gonfined to the Hotel Dieu Hospi- tal, is slightly improved. Congratula- tions are in order to the Rev. A. M. Russell, B.A., who in addition to re- ceiving his B.D., also won the Ander. son gcholarship. The above divine has made a host of friends since this advent. among us, and greater things are looked for in the future. Mr. Bum Spoor, a well known Is- lander, has held a position on the staff of Bibby's Ltd., covering a period of eleven years, during which time he was untiring in his efforts to please his customers. He has now severed his connections with the above firm, to go into business with the recently estab- lished Modler Clothing House, Mr. Wiliam O'Connor, Toronto, is the guest during the holidays of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Briceland.

Trappers report the catch of muskrats as being below normal. Fishermen al- so state their catch as not being up to the average. They attribute low water as one of the causes, as nets are set largely and such places. : RESCUED FROM DROWNING. PROBS: --Tuesday, mostly fair and mild; scattered 'wers.
