II CO pfl Mfilm m romtic story of Flora Mace d.ana1d the Scottish heroine. who saved the life of “ Bonnie Prince Charlie " at the peril of her own, has descended through the glimmer of almost a century and a half with undiminished brightness. The deeds of the brave Scotch lassie are still recited to the child on the knee in the homes of many whose parents, or they themselves, have emigrat: ed from the Heatherland for foreign shores and relics of those days of old serve to enliven and make more realistic such tales. A LINEAL DESCENDANT. Mrs. Alex. Jackson, wife of GOV- ernor Jackson of the county jail, is a lineal descendant from _the daunt- less and beautifdl Flora. In her possession she has a cup, manufac- tured out of cocoanut and mounted with silver, which was owned by the ernor Jackson of the county jail, is a lineal descendant from ,the daunt- less and beautifdl Flora. In her possession she has a cup, manufac- tured out of cocoanut and mounted with silver, which was owned by the parents of Flora Macdonald, Marian and Ronald Macdonald. This re- membrance of by-gone days has been handed down from parent to child in the family and is highly-prized. It is nearly two centuries old, the date marked on it being 1711. The initials of the father and mother of Flora Macdonald are engraVcd upon the cup- which the forces under Prince Char-L les were defeated by the English, the prince fled from One hiding place to another with a price of $60,000 upon his head. As a last resort he sought refuge among the Highland- ers of the west coast of Scotland beâ€" cause he could trust his life there and also because of the mountain- ous topography of the country, which afforded abundant hiding plac- es. There. he wandered with his one faithful friend, Captain O’Neil. It was in these trying circumstances in which Flora Macdonald attempted his rescue. She was in a visit in that part of the country at thati time and obtained leave to return‘ home securing a passport for herself and servant and also for the prince dressed to resemble a young Irish- girl. The servant was O’Neil, the king‘s faithful follower. The prince was togged out in th‘? feminine gear and then began the trouble of secur- ing passage for him to France. The king's troops were everywhere and it was only after the greatest diffi- culty that they got safely across to the island of Skye. From thence he was guided to the. island of Ram- say and thence to France after many wanderings. FLORA WAS ARRESTED. w. Flora Mncdonald was’ arrested at: torwards when her share in Prince ('harles' escape became known. She was mknn a prlunner to London, but finally liberated. She mm the prick or the Scotch and also was popular among the Engllnh and it ls stated .AL,‘ that many culvbrmvs. including the Prince at Wain». vlnitod her when in prison in London, Flown afterward: married and had a large family ct scan. who all be- came otficera in the King’s service. and two daughters. She died in 1-870. and even among Highland funerals, that of Flora. Macdonuld is celebrated for the multitude of peo- ple who attended it.

The annual excursion of that Association was run from To- ronto to LindSay to-day, and among the crowd of over three hundred that arrived here were over forty war- scarred veterans, old soldiers of the Queen, who have served in dozens of the Empire’s wars from the early Afghan, Fingal and other wars of w- xr:.+nria era. to the late South day long.

Association, replied on behalf of the veterans. “As President of this As- sociation,” he said, “it gives me ex- treme pleasure in accepting this ad'- dres-s and listening to the kind words of welcome. I hope it will be God’s will that we may be spared 'to re- turn to your town. We will report to our brethren in Toronto, who were unable to come, that you have extended to us the heartiest ofI hearty welcomes.

He is a veteran of the Crimean, and is still "hale, sound and healthy." He ltold of the old days and declared that Canada Was the best colony of‘ the Empire. “Remember the Old‘ l00untry,” he said, "For it is the ‘old country who gave you the fiber ty you enjoy tovday.” WARDEN JORDAN. “Mayor Beg“; has given you the freedom of the town". said Warden Geo.

"The Grand Trunk cinema 0! Wu Northern division have decided to erect a new modern roundhouse in Lindsay during the next year. This will be welcome news- to the citizens of Lindsay and the railway em- ployes. .' It has been rumored around town during the past few weeks that Lind- say was to have a new roundhouse. but nothing definite was handed out until to-day at noon, when a Ward-i er reporter interviewed Traiumasterf Irwin. He ’was assured that Lind-J, say would have a new modern: roundhouse erected during the next‘ couple of years. Where the new building will be erected has not yet been decided up- on, but it is likely to be in the Vi' cinity of the present one. 'The pre- sent building is altogether too small to accommodate the number of en- gines that will be used on this di-. vision when the double track is com- ;pleted from Midland to Port Hope.

The Grand Trunk Pacific. is near- ing completion in the west and large elevators have been erected in Mid“ land, and the result is that the com-i pany is compelled to double-track from Midland to Port flow in order to carry the grain from the west._ The proposed improvements at Lindsay will be a great boon, as hundreds of extra men will be em- ployed during the construction of the double-track and the round- house, and a large number will re- side‘permanently in town.
