Baroness do Enoch Talk in Town There was only a small attend- ance at the town hall on Tuesday evening to hear the celebrated talk of Baroness de Hueck on her person- al experiences in Russia during the great war, but those who braved the extremely cold nightâ€"«and colder hallâ€"were treated to a lecture which contained much historical inâ€" formation, combined with an ac- count ol many harrownng exper- iences endured by the baroness in that unfortunate land. . The speaker at the commence- ‘ ment of her talk, dwelt on the mag- nitude of the Russian Empire. Run- ning at fort? to fifty miles an hour, it took twe ve to fourteen days for a train to cross the country from east to west; it took eight to ten days to travel from north to south. The country under proner manage- ment should he self-supporting and, with the exception of rubber, had within its borders everything it needed. Referring to the climatic condi- tions, the speaker said that people in this country had gained a wr'ong impression, and regarded Russia as an ice-bound country in which snow and cold weather were in evidence twelve months in the year. Russia had many climates from the frigid North to the sunny South, where. oranges, lemons and even cotton were extensively grown. Speaking of Siberia, the Baroness said it, too, was not the horrible place generally supposed. Siberia was the convict camp, it was true, but political prisoners exiled to that part of the country were set out on farms where, they worked much the same as settlers in our own land.; They were required to remain in Siberia until the completion of their sentence. With murderers, the case was ditIerent. There was no capital punishment in ltussia, and murder- ers were compelled to work in the coal mines or other places under guard-«not Very nice, it is true, but murderers had to be punished in some manner.

The speaker dealt at some length with Russia's part in the war, her mobilization of lS,OOlL000 men and the stellar work they accomplished in the early days of the conflict, han- dicapped as they were by lack of shells and other munitions, and in many instances to her knowledge, unarmed. taking iirst line trenches from the Germans by sheer force of numbers, Baroness ile Hneek at the out- break of the war was taking Up the study of medicine. and nursing” When hostilities commenced. she; enlisted under the Red Cross and spent three years with the soldier‘s in the war area, where she wit- nesseil the first stages of the revolu- tion that for the next few years was to steep her natiVe land in the blood of its inhabitants.

The speaker told of going out with the “Northern" Russian relief expeâ€" dition. and it was while serving with this unit that she, tirst fell in with Canadian soldiery.

UIIU U‘ ‘- IV "vwv of this part of Ontario passed away i suddenly on Saturday night at his 1 home at Holstein in the person of . Mr. Edward Hoy. Death was due to heart failure. Mr. Boy, who had been in appar- ently his usual health, took a weak spell on Saturday afternoon and lay down for a couple of hours to take a rest. He arose about supper time, had his supper and later went out to his stable to do his chores. Coming into the house, he said he felt an- other weak spell coming on, and again lay down. His wife, who was in attendance, succeeded in reviv- ing him, but he took another spell. and she telephoned for Dr. McLelâ€" Ian, who diagnosed the trouble as heart weakness and ordered the pa- tient to his bed. Mr. Hoy subse- quently took a third spell, and though the doctor was summoned immediately and worked over him for over an hour, he never regained consciousness and passed away shortly afterwards. Rev. B. R. Hornevof Toron- to, who occupied Presby- terian pulpit here n J auuery 11,'in the interests of the Presbyterian Church Associa- tion, and in opposition to the union of that church with the Methodist and Congregation- al congregatious, n;ade a oer: intention. I do not know whe- ther yours is a shorthand re- port or not, but it reads like one. If it is not, it shows re- markable skill in reporting a speaker. I have never had a more correct report, and I thank you for it.” Mr. Hoy was born in Arthur Township 69 years ago last July and came with his parents to Orchard when four years of age. He has been a continuous resident of this locality ever since up to ten years , Mr. Boy was twice married. In 1888, he married Miss Annie Moflat, who died in January 1906. To this union was born seven children: Mrs. W“. J. Walker, Moose Jaw, Sask.;: Mrs. W. J. Thompson. Detroit, Mich,; Mrs. John C. McLean, Durham; Mrs. Edward A. Bowes. Tiverton. who died in 1917; Mrs. John C. Clarke, Montreal; and Arthur and Orton, whose present whereabouts are un- known. Mrs. McLean of this town and Mrs. Thompson of Detroit were the only _two members ”of the family I mhn VV V ~5..~.1...-.".,. _, .. l/lIC Ulll J ., - - in attendance at the funeral. The deceased had nine brothers and two sisters. of whom Robert, Port Ar- thur; Richard. Flesherton; James. Normanby Township; and Charles of Dayton, New Ontario, survive. Ten years ago Mr. Hay married Mrs. Samuel Neal, who survives, and moved to Orchard where they have since resided. The deceased for many years has been one of the noted horsemen of this part of the province, was a man of integrity, and was exceed- ingly popular and well thought of by a wide circle of friends and ac- quaintances. He was a Methodist in religion and a Conservative in politics. The funeral Tuesday from the H01- stein Methodist Church was largely attended, the pastor, Rev. L. E. West preaching an approoriate sermon. Interment was made at Maplewood cemetery at Barber’s Corners. Mrs. Boy and the sorrowing mem- bers of the family deeply appreciate the kindness of friends and neigh- bors during their trouble and wish to extend grateful .thanlis to all. ”T‘tiénéflrélhicle joins the commun- ity in extending sympathy.

Night Loaves No Doubt As To Which Is Better The Durham Northern League Seniors blanked Chesley last night in one of the fastest games seen on local ice for some time. The local team was fast. checked hard and was in excellent condition. As a result, they had the Chesley puck- chasers skated of! their feet in the ,last frame. The score was 7â€"0 and fairly represented the play, al- thoughr in_ the earlier part of the "A A, :nn‘rtlln‘ bllvuoâ€" o-- game, Durham did a lot of ineti'ect- w ual shooting. One thing the local i lads lack, and which may tell l against them in future contests, is . combination. They have in Schlitz . and Elvidge two of the fastest skat- ers and stick-handlers in these parts. McGirr is also Very fast but a little light to body hard. These three, with a little practice, could form a mighty sweet little three- man combination that would have most any team in Western Ontario sitting up to check. Homgyer, they have the hack-checking down tine, Clill' Buschlen, especially, excelling in this very important part of the pastime. As soon as they lose the? puck, the forwards are right on their checks, and usually a. little poke check at the right time breaks Up a dangerous rush. Chesley seemed rather a poor lot of skaters in comparison to their local opponents. Their stick-han- *. d_ling _\vasn‘t very clever either. IA I A--- -‘4‘ n‘.nli‘ Team. mm, ....._.--- What they have been blowing about. ' nobody in Durham can see: they were certainly outclassed last night. In Chesley, when they were defeat- ed, they alibied by saying that the team was stale from too much hockey. Last night they said they had brought along a scrub team. They probably could get nothing betten than that in Chesley any way. Despatches sent from Chesley to the Toronto and other papers af- ter the game with Durham stated that the Durham players roughed it. If the Durham fellows were in- clined to be rough. it would be on their home ice. The game last night1 was certainly clean, only two pen-‘ alties being handed out. one to each team; and one was an accidental trip. The other. by a Chesley play- er. was deliberate. There is no doubt that there was considerable rough work in Chesley. but that it was not by Durham is apparent to all fair-thinking peeple. It is just another attempt on the part of the poor. miserable sports of that be- ; nighted burg to pass their own shortcomings onto another town} -.. Schntz and Elyidge starred forl Durham. Elvidge scored four goals. someafrom passes and others on his individual play. Schutz netted a pair and Bill Vollelt counted the re- maining one. Schulz certainly is a whale of a hockey player. He can skate, handle his stick, and, further- | more, uses his head. Elvidge is a} smooth stick-handler and has the happy faculty of being in the right place to hammer the puck into the twine when the Opportunity to do so arrives. Scbutz was beaten out of a couple of nice goals by the Ches- ‘ley goaler. who popped out of his net and fell on the puck. The first time he appeared to be injuredâ€"it looked very much as if he were foxing-â€"and the referee rang the bell, stopping the play. McGirr is a ‘nice little stick-handler and skat- cr, but probably shines brightest at back-checking. He is a hearcat to work and was right after the Ches- ley forwards all the time. Buschlen is probably the fastest man on the team. and although not as finished a puck carrier as some of his team- -“_ A -1.
