Montreal, Dec. 10--Terminating an illness of scarcely 24 hours' duration, the death occurred here at his home at 7:30 this evening, of the Rt. Hon. Baron Shaughnessy, fellow of the Roy- al Colonial Institute; Knight Comman- der of the Royal Victorian Order; first Baron Shaughnessy of Montreal and of Ashford, County limerick, Ireland and chairman of the board of directors of the Canadian Pacific railway. On Oc- tober 6 Lord Shaughnessy celebrated his 70th birthday. During his brief illness, from the moment of the seizure on Sunday night, Lord Shaughnessy retained his usual clarity of mind and purpose, re- cognizing all who spoke to him, and particularly His Georges Gauthier, who was at his bed- side half an hour before death ended the career of the great railway man. There were present at the bedside, Lady Shaughnessy, Lt.-Col. the Hon. W. J. Shaughnessy and Mrs Shaugh- nessy; Mrs H. W. and the Hon. Mre Beauclerk; Mr Rene and the Hon. Mrs Redmond; ' Hon. Marguerite Shaugh- nessy; Father McShane and Doctors D. F. Guerd and C. F. Martin. Dr. Guerd, family physician, and Doctors C. F. Martin and C. B.

He betrays an entire lack of any in- hibition as to his own self expression. Is it possible, as Rip Van Winkle sug- {by ulterior personal considerations at the prompting of outside influences? dismisses the opinions of .some of the better and most popular part of the press of the continent by 'presents a case of such monumental segotism as is rarely shown. When he . chides the editor of the Dryden Obser- jver for permitting such an article as "The Highway Fad" to appear in its {columns he abjures all newspaper, .ethics and proclaims' himself an advo- vate of Press Autocracy. When he ' assumes an attitude of superiority to our editor, as he does in censuring 'the latter gentleman in such a patron- !inzing manner, he becomes to the ; beople of this district amusing. Fie!

What kind of justice is there in Canada when there is so much grain in the elevators, when the working people are suffering an injustice? Within a year we will seize all that grain.

It consists of a cow-hide suit, cover- ed with spikes an inch long, while a helmet and wire mask will protect his face. The uniform weighs 23 pounds and has 1,200 nails at half inch inter- vals. He also has spiked gloves. The plan of extermination is very simple, according to Carlson, who leaves for. Port Arthur shortly. He will enter the wolf country dressed in his 'armor plate,' the hungry wolves will surround him and while they are endeavoring to find out whether he is a new kind.of porcupine or pine tree he will simply hit them over the head with a hand axe and collect the bounty. Ee ---- Mr Bert B . Colin, Chicago, TI. Dear Sir: Our sister country of Canada has set an excellent example to the nations of the world by trying to pay, if pos- sible, her debts herself. The patriotism of the Canadian peo- ple is splendidly shown by the manner, in which they have subscribed to the loans of their country, paying them- selves the interest and promptly tak- ing care of their obligations. The example of Canada and Great Britain should be an inspiration to the foreign countries not to avoid honest obligations, but to endeavour on com- mon sense. lines to so amortize them that they would be certain of pay- ment within a reasonable time.
