The Tailor, Little Britain THIS WEEK The deed for which the society now pre- sents its medals was done on July 26th. That day young Arthur Armitage went in bathing near Horn's mill. He got beyond his depth and was soon drowning in the bottom of the river. Young Wilson was at the Wellinkton-st. bridge. Hearing the alarm he ran down throwing ofi‘ his cloth- ingas he went. Plunging in he found that his shirt became inflated that he could not dive. so he trod water till he got it 011‘ and then went down and brought the young lad up bv one foot. He needed assistance to complete his life-saving. It came from across the river where Edward Armsden was working. He swam over to help and the two together got the lad toshore where the medical skill of Drs. McAlpine, Herriman and Gillespie soon restored him to consciousness. This was the second time that Armsden had saved life. Some years ago a. man named Sin- clair went over the slides and was rescued by him. I am glad the time has come to recognize his bravery. The life-savers then each said a few modest words regarding what he had done. Both disclaimed having done any- thing unusual and expressed gratitude for the honor conferred upon them. They then stood right and left of His Honor the chairman, who pinned upon their breasts the engraved bronze that marks them heroes. While this performance was in progress, the juvenile audience. before re- ferred to, imperilled the acoustic proper- ties of the aldermanic resort. by the divers vocal and physical demonstrations in which modern youths are so expert. Hav- ing made the presentation and awaited laggard silence His Honor addressed the recipients as follows: It affords me great pleasure to pin these medals on your breasts. You may well b» proud tu have done the deed that they commemorate. It is a great henor to ri~k one’s life to save another. That is the spirit the Humane Society recognizes and rewards. So great is the value set upon these medals by the government, that they Can be worn beside any military adornment on all occasions. The medals you wear to-nieht are next to those of the Victoria Cross. Rev. L. S. Hughsonâ€"It has probably re- quired as much bravery for these men to go through their ordeal to-night as to do the deed we are honoring. The memory of a. time when I stood by a. river where one was ordwning, enables me to appreciate, the courage required to plunge. to the He said: It is with some pride that'we follow in the footsteps of, and in some instances surpass the Old Cbuntry, in our recognition of brave deeds. Over there when soldiers or sailors distinguish them- selves they are honored by the approval of the sovereign, by medals and by mention in the gazette. That is well, but such deeds are done with the hope of these re- iwards, while the deed that we and the Royal Humane Society, recognize tc-night was done with no other motive than the desire to save a fellow-being from death. In this respect this deed and this presenta- tion excel those of the battle-field and the bestn we] of the Victoria Cross. The first name among the officers of the Royal Humane Society is that of Lord Minto, Governor-General of Canada, and asso- ciated with him are several of the most distinguished Canadians. At 8 o'clock the council chamber was crowded. It was an occasion on which the seniors had to stand, for at an early hour the chairs were filled with enthusias- tic youths, any of whom are capable of medal-winning deeds. and all losing no opportunity to give most demonstrative expression to their admiration for the heroes of the hour. These tokens had the more emphasis when directed toward their young companion Bernie Wilson. His Honor Judge Harding presided, the spirit of the meeting was excellent, neat speeches were made by prominent citizens, outside inthe park, the band was rendering its weekly program. and altogether the occa- sion was of the very happiest order. rm; Paocmmmos. , ‘ Col. Deacon. by whose efforts the medals were obtained, called the meeting to order and asked J udge Harding to occupy the chair. In dolmz so, the colonel dryly re- marked that it was not the first time that His Honor had appeared in public as some of his hearers were perhaps aware. The duties of secretary were thrust upon Rev- J as. McFarlane. At the request of the chairman Col. Deacon spoke briefly of the society by which the medals were awarded- 7 the edge cf that yard that he made the plunge to fame on the 26th of J My last, n r it was on that day that Arthur Armitage was saved from drowning by the heroes of Friday night 8 event. One of‘ these events in’ which the higher and nobler sentiments of mankind are roused, took place on Friday night when medals of the Royal Humane Society were presented to two of our citizens, for con- spicuous courage in saving the life ofa fellow-being. The two persons whose heroism was thus recognized were Robert Osborn Wilson, the 17-year-old son of our worthy townsman Mr. Joseph Wilson, and Mr. Edward Armsden, who may be usually located during business hours, behind a fine team of horses in the vicinity of Kennedy's wood-yard. In fact it was from The Medals of the Royal Hu~ mane Society Presented.

Moved by Mr. Dewell and seconded by Mr. Perdue that Mr Byer's bill for wagon tongue, reach and loss of time amounting to $3, be not entertained as it does not appear that said articles were broken on the highway.-â€"Carned. Moved by Mr. Webster and seconded by Mr. Irwin, that Dr. A. \Vilson be granted 315 as payment :11 full for attendance on Rev. Jas. McFarlane-I would like to say to the boys here to-night what I sav to my own boys, “Learn to swim, but do not use your knowledge foolishly.” I was raised by the river Tyne. Mother was very timid about water and tried to keep us away from it. We managed though to learn to swim. It is what every boy should do. One never can tell what benefit it maybe to himself and others. The incl- dent recalled to-night is an illustration. It was done on the impulse of a moment, but others might have had the impulse and not been able to do the same deed because they had not practised the art of swimming. This act should always be prized by these men for next to saving a soul is having human life. . Mm ed by Mr. Perdue and seconded by Mr. Irwin, that amount of taxes due S. S.

For father, sister or brother, we will do much. That is splendid, yet has a degree of selfishness. but to-niszht we honor a deed that had nothing of that motive in it. “To die for those we love a Is nobler far than wear a crown." How much more is it so to risk our lives for those who are not bound to us by any natural tie. It displays one of the noblest traits of human character. I am glad the boys are here to learn that instinctive courage and nobility that will hazard all to save another. To those of, us who are older this occasion furnishes ties that bind us closer together. that make us more charitable. forgiving, divine. It 13 a pleasure to take part in such exercises and their influence makes for good. Mr. John McSweyn-I have never been present on an occasion when we should show our hearty appreciation more than Dr. Herrimanâ€"As I recall that day when Arthur Armitage lay quivering on the verge of death, but saved from death and restored to his parents by the heroism of these men, I am glad there is such a society and that we have somebody who will bring such deeds to its notice. These men were as happy as they put on their clothes after saving: a life as they are to-night. Success was their reward. The-y proved that it is more blessed to give than to receive. I feel the more emotion at this time because I remember that my own son was once saved from death in a Georgian Bay wreck. by the cburage of two men who went to save him. dispensed. rescue. We cannot go too far in honoring such acts. A boy becomes brave when he is a boy or never. and I am glad so many of them are here to-night to witness this recognition of heroism. I know from the i father of the boy who was saved; that his :life is due to both these men and whatever ’Arthur Armitage becomes in the future will be due to their bravery in saving him. from early death. This should add dignityi and seriousness to their lives. 1 Mr. J. D. Elavelle-It is a pleasure for me to be here and to take part on this occasion. I am glad theboys are here in such large numbers and shall only say to them that they should cultivate courage, but not confuse it with foolhardiness. To risk one’s life for some great purpose ls courageous, but to trifle with danger is foolhardy. It is the higher motive that is meagnized here to-nlght. In our country human life is highly esteemed and all means are used to preserve it. I am glad we have a Humane Society, and glad also present when its honors are It is amusing to read Dr. McKay’s remm ks~ about the railwav bonuses granted by several townships and also of his condemn- ation of all railways. Do: 3 he not know that the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier has granted over six millions of dollars to railways during the past session; but as for the government paying back the btnu- ses to the townships of Somerviile. Eldon, Bexley and Laxton it is just an election cry to sidetrack the main issues. In short it is nothing more or less than n huge attempt to bribe the electors ct the above- mentioned townships. Would not this be I nice job for McLsuzhlin; he might get a. commission of twenty per cent. on this bonus money if he got it b10k from the government, same as in the Cameron lake drowned lands claims. The doctor also wishes to have an honor- able campaign Does this mean that the “threshing machine" will be needed wort-o elsewhere, or does it; mean that the machine- is worn out? Only about two weeks ago I Was informed by a decent Befor mer, who was a. delegate at the convention held at Fenelon Falls 8, short time ago, that Dr. Mchay had packed the convention that nominated him. This same gentleman also said that he never was so much disgusted VVil h a candidate- in his life as with the choice of the new Liberals. Mr. Hughes" “variety show“ was pa‘ron- ized all over the riding by both grits and tories alike, and I haVe beard numbers of grits 53} they were both amused and instructed by Col. Hughes’ lectures on Ireland, Scotland and other pl -ces whe re he travelled. If it had not been f.r the doctor’s jealousy he would never have mentioned anything about‘ var iety show s: the crowds attending only went to show Mr. Hughes' popularity with all classes. The doctor also says the tariffquesdon is now settled. Let; me ask him where are the men who looked towards the heavens and swore they would never rest until every. vestige of protection was abolished ? The whole grit. crowd have swallowed themselves on the tarifi‘ quesmion and are now promenading in stolen clothes. But the last thing mentioned by the doctor caps the climax. For cheek he beats the canal horse. He says: “I submit then that the Coaservatives of North Vic- toria. .should lay aside party feeling and elect me by acclamation." Did any one ever hear of such cheek? No, dear dcctor, when you get Lhnugh with Sam Hughes you will be a more tired man than when: the West Victoria Fox chased you out of public life. We don't want any moxe 0 your physic.â€"Your.~, etc.. 818,â€"”. an elector at North Victoria permit no space to reply to a few of Dr. McKay's remarks in his letter printed in the Watchman-Warden recently. He makes his brag of what he did tor the people of Eldon, Garden and Dalton in the matter of road grants. but if this be so why did they turn him down on the lot of March, 1898? The fact of the matter is they were sick and tired of such a repre- sentative. He also makes the assertion that at the Conservative convention at gobgconk: Col. HW$-~»Mid that no-grit would turn a spade on the Trent Valley Canal, and also that the above convention was packed. Well, Mr. Editor. I was a delegate to that convention which was a most representative one, and I can truth- fully say it’was not packed and Col. Hughes in his speech that day never uttered the words attributed to him by Dr. McKay. ANOTHER NORTH VICTORIA ELECTOR REPLIES TO HIS LETTER To the Editor of the Watchman-Wade.
