Mr. Tel ford married Miss Alice Corbett of Owen Sound, who survives him, with one daughter Mrs. W. J. Hoig, who, with her two children, has been a stay and comfort to the home, during the weary months of suffering. They will have the deepest sympathy of the whole commun- tty in their great loss. The community loss is great but not to be compared with that caused by the separation of a loving husband and father. Mr Telford was a Mason and under Mason auspices will be buried. Floral of, Ierings, which are abundant, include one item the Public School Board, and one lrom the curlers, fashioned to resemble a curling stone. The choir and the masons also had beautiful wreaths. Rev. Mr Whaley took his text from Rev. 5 ;9. "And they sung a new song." He paid warm tribute to deceased ior his 'ualtc work, for the qualities of head and heart especially that ranked him as one of the tirst citizens of Durham. - He related his resolve, made years no. to do tome- ttting tonne church and that something was his gift of song. Liberal m politics, he was for a number of years President of the Riding Reform Association, and was always prominent in the counsels of that party. He was a member of Durham Presbyterian Church in which tor many years he was the guid- ing star and leader of the choir and seldom absent. He was a keen sportsman when oppor- tunity offered : fishing, hunting, curling, bowling, of all he was a devotee. This man among men has gone. Many can lesbly to his genial, kindly spirit, in which there was ever atenderness that battled with strictly legal judgment, For many years, and long as chairman, he has been on the Public School Board and rendered splendid s:rvice. Of him it can he said as of no other man, that Durham cemetery is his monument. Whatever of beauty or of tittingness is found there, is very largely due to his in.t ative and un- ceasing interest in the city of the dead. The deceased was a many-sided man. Of great natural ability, his acquired at- tainments were not small. He had a well- stored mind, was a lover of books, and had a passion for music Of Scottish ex- traction himself, he gloried, almost reval- led, in Scottish literature and song, and he was one of a few in this locality who were steeped in the Scottish vernacular. But he had a legal bent also in his make-up and studied and graduated in law mm drtinction to himself. He took up insurance work. conveyancing, &c., and became a full-ttedged lawyer, solicitor and ultimately a barrister. For many years he held the office of Police Magis- trate and for many years was the embodi trent of law and law practice in Durham. Mr. Telford wal, in his tpith year and wasa member ofa well-known and dis- tinguishrd 0th Sound family. He was born near Owen Sound and got his prim- ary education ltr re. Early in life he showed a bent for mechanics. and he spent sumo years in a machine shop. where he acquired a technical knowledge and an inspiration that never left him all his life. From the cares and worries of a legal life he would find relaxation in an engine. a motor, or some mechanical de- vn e or appliance, and his advice and he:p was not infrequently asked along this line As the news got around town Tuesday morning that Mr. Telford had died on Monday evening there was felt a sense of personal loss. even though the event has not been unexpected for some time Since a year ago he has been a sufferer from a malignant growth in his throat, necessitat- ing appliances for relief in breathing, &c From the early stages" was seen that a fatal termination was inevitable, but he long outlived the expectations of his med. Iml attendants by uannted vitality and 1xill power. . Death of J. P. Telford DURHAM, THURSDAY JANUARY 22, 1920 With which is incorporated the Holstein Leader "The Thirteenth Chair" has been book- ed for an engagement on Friday Jan. 30, 1920. at the Veteran Star Theatre. Yvonne Delva and Creighton Hale are on. starred. supported by " excellent cast in. cluding Marie Shotwell. Christine Mayo, Marc MacDermott. Walter law. Suzanne Calbert and George Deneubourg. In adapting" "Thirteenth Chair" to the thus it was easy for Leonce Ferret to fol- low the original and preserve the secret up to the final moment, but it was not so easy to do this in shaping the prologue, which was found necessary for a screen performance and which met with the hearty approval of Mr Veiller. Since Bayard Veiller began writing for the stage he has overturned a number of traditions. It takes nerve to do that. Breaking precedent isa test of a man's independence. especially in matters of the theatre. "Don't fool the audience,‘ seemed to te Rule No. lin the Play- wright's Union, but Veiller smashed it when he wrote "The Thirteenth Chair," the mel 'drama that mystified New York audiences for over a year, and which has just been adapted to the screen and dit - ected by Leonce Ferret for Pathe. Socomplelely has Mr Veiller covered up his tracks in "The Thirteenth Chair" that many an usher has been approached by mystified spectators who wished to pay for advance information as to who killed Spencer Lee. In every case. how- ever, the usher preterred to keep the spectator guessing. The players were Durham (7) Palmerston 15) Albert Kress goal T. Buck Urben Schulz right def. W.

Chas. Dillane of Palmerston refereed impartially. and to our lads' credit. only two penalties were given them. while Palmerston earned a number. Their rink manager, John Bridge, showed the boys every courtesy, and while stormstayed there over Sunday were well used. Palmerston is expected here for the return game next or the fol- lowing Saturday. Mr. A. W. H. Lauder accompanied the boys and acted as man- ager tor the trip. So a fight it is to be and we venture to think a fight with more snap than the last one. While any of the men would fill the bill there is a strong desire that Dr Smith and Mr Allan should beelected. a desire likely to be stratified. But the sovereign p o tle must decide.
