although the pro- perv had been sold with warranty guns: all encumbrances whatsoever.Tze um claimed included $86.56 for an assessment for the construction of a chures, and a namount due for school

FUNERAL IN THE CITY THIS MORNING.Few people know that Mrs.Bridget Whelan, whose remains were laid to rest in Cote des Neiges cemrtery this morning, was the widow of Patrick James Whe- lan, who some thirty-six years ago was executed in Ottawa for the murder of the Hon.Thomas D\u2019Afcy McGee.Her life had been completely overshadowed by that great political tragedy.\u2018She never discussed it,\u2019 said one who knew her, to a representative of the Witness.\u201d \u2018And we never spoke to her about it.It was too painful.\u2019 During the whole of her widowhood Mrs.Whelan lived in tne neighborhood of St.Alexander street, and .for the past ten years her residence has been 19 St.Alexander street.She has made a living all these years by keeping boarders.lt was only a year after her marriage that! her husband, a young lrisa tailor, was lodged in Ottawa jail charged with the crime for which he paid the death penalty.Mrs.Whelan\u2019s faith in her husband mever deserted her; bis memory was sdcred to her up to the very last.Her husband and her country\u2014 each was ever an object of devotion to her.- For years she used to put out a green flag draped in hlack on every anniversary of her husband\u2019s execution, until one day the late Father Dowd, one of her greatest friends, persuaded her to discontinue the practice.Kindly and charitable in nature, Mrs.Whelan led a simple unobtrusive life.and now at the age of eighty she has passed to her rest.She had been ili from pneumonia only a few days.The little funeral procession this morning went from the house to St.Patrick\u2019s Church, where Mrs.Whelan was married by Father Dowd.A sbort service was held there.Then the cortege passed to the cemetery.The coffin was unattended by a single relative.But there are many who will think with kindly sympathy of one who bore her part bravely in life, and who remained to the very end devoted to the memory of one she loved.ONTARIO POLITICS TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION

\u2018It would be simply truth and not pe mortem flattery to say that in the dea of Principal Caven Canadian Presbyt rianism has lost ita best loved so John Knox\u2019s religion has been grace in this country by many able men, bri}- liant logicians, skilled debatérs, oratogs and statesmen, but among them all few indeed have inspired in their followegs such warm affection as that which hds one out

everywherz it wi'l strike wifh a sense of pain and irreparable 1 This morning the whole country rec nizes the gap, which none can fill, M the front rank of great Canadians.Pri§- cipal Caven was, indeed, a great Can dian.For sheer mentality he stodd high above the crowd.By no artifije or make-believe, but by intelleatual a moral worth, he impressed himself @ the thought and life of Canada to a J gree almost unequalled by any other pd lic man.There was that about hj which commanded respect even fro those whose lives and points of view afd modes of thought were farthest fra his bwn.In those who knew him, df in whom there was the power of Bar in 4 { 28 = +] solr vo.his ©) Doreen gp x 135 D respect alone, but reverence.The in the street, as weil as: the man the \u2018chirch, felt the touch.of his worth, and in his presence \u2018all 'rydeness and insincerity, both of thought and speech wag conscious of rebuke.The Rev.William Caven, D.D,, LL.D.was a native of Wigtonshirg, Scotland, yand received: his early education in his -father\u2019s school in the parish of Kirk- Wigtonshire.His father, a sound scholar and a very worthy man, emigrated to Canada in 1847, with his fam- Ay and settled near Galt, Ont., in the \u2018Township of North Dunifries, resuming there the work of teaching.= Caven\u2019s family in the days.of the struggle for religious independence in Scotland had distinguished themselves by their support of the Solemn League and Covenant.One member of his mothers family suffered mutilation at the hands of the dragoons of \u2018Bloody Clavers,\u2019 and another is said to have suffered martyrdom.It was largely due to-his family history and \u2018his father\u2019s influence,.no doubt, that William Caven turned his - attention to the ministry.He was seventeen years of age-on his arrival:in Conada, having been \u2018born.in 183), snd à yeaæ or two after he commeneed to study theology under the auspices of the United Presbyterian Church at London, Ont., bis tencliers being the Rev.William Préudfoot and the Rev.Alexander Mackehzie, the latter of whom with the Rev.William Fraser, had planted the United Presbytérian Ohurch in Western Canada, During the year 1850- 51 he studied at Toronto: and in 1852 he was licensed to preach by the Flam- boro\u2019 Presbytery.His first charge was St.Mary's, Ontario, where be labored from 1852\" until 1865, interrupted by a visit of nearly a year\u2019s duration to Scotland for the benefit of his health.:'In 1861 the United Presbyterian and Free Churches amalgamated as the Cana| ada Presbyterian Church, and the Synod of this body appointed Mr.Caven and Professor Gregg: to fill, during alternate terms, the chair of exegetical theology and biblical eriticisin in Knox College, Toronto, in place of Professor Young, who had resigned.In 1866 Mr.Caven vas appointed professdr, and in the discharge of his duties he was noted for his moderation \u2018and candor in stating the opinions of oppouents and for firmly holding to the interpretation which he considered right.On the death of Dr.Michael Willis, in 1870, Professor Caven was appointed principal of Knox College.Along with Professor Gregg he made a tour of the Province of Ontario in the interests of the building fund.of the college, and by their exer- ticns they raised a hundred thousand dollars, The corner stom: of the new building was laid in April, 1874, and the college was occupied for the Tirst time in the session of 1875-76.Principal Ca- ven always advocated the union of the various branches of the Presbyterian Church.The union of 1861 has been referred to.When amalgamation: between the Canada Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian*Church of Canada was under consideration he was a member of the union committee and the success of the negotiations was largely due to his exertions.As moderator of the Canada Presbyterian Church he had the pleasure of signing the articles of union in 1875.In that year he réceived the honorary degrge of D.D.from Queen\u2019s University.is other academic titles were D.D., from Princeton \u2018University, and LL.D.from Toronto University, He\u2019 did a great deal to bring about the formation _of the Pan-Presbyterian Council, of which he was usually a member.He succeeded Professor Goldwin Smith as president of the Ontario Teachers\u2019 Association in 1877.Principal Caven always took a keen interest in public affairs and he came forward prominently to oppose the passing of the Jesuits\u2019 Estajes Act (1889) and his influence was also thrown into the scale in apposition to any interference with Manitoba schools act.He was one \u2018of the most prominent figures in Canadian public life, and he combined with great sincerity amd an uncom- prétiating his real- worth, he\u2019 insp promising attitude where princinle was but h# was Hot positive.RE NSE î involved, a very pleasing tone of consideration for tke feelings of others.Al though obviously a man of great power and influence, he was gentle, modest and unassuming.As a debater he was considered to bave no rival in the Presbyterian Church.! INVENTOR FOUND DEAD MADE TRIP ACROSS LAKE MICH!

but witn tbe heavy loads which are now the rule, it is, in many cases, & physical impossibility for the horses to breast the hills.Mansfield street, from Lagauchetiere street to Dorchester, has à very steep grade, yet it is the street which is commonly used by the coal carts.Any day of the week one may see brutal drivers whip their horses up this ascent until the blood comes.The horses stumble, back down, hesitate to take the hills.The driver dismounts, lashes the animal with fury, cursing the while; The disproportion between the abiifty of the animal and the weight of the load Is, in many oases, so extreme, that the assistance of other horses has to be sought.It ls gratifying to pote that now and then there will be a rough driver with a heart in his breast, who will breathe his horse at the ascent, put the pole beneath the shafîts of the cart, and kindly encourage the animal to his best: but the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Crueity to Animals might visit Mansfield strett any day of the week.The brutal scenes which are witnessed there must bave a hardening effect upon the young children who are almost compel.ed to he daily spectators of acts which make the blood boil with indignation.re A C.P.R.STORY DENIED.For years now, in the local French press, there have appeared, at regular intervals, stories to the effect that the C.P.R.was about to build either an underground or overhead line between Windsor street and Place Viger stations.A map of the project has even been printed.and it has been stated that the company has been buying up properties all along the proposed route.The publication of the plan caused some amusement among C.P.R.officials, but the reappearance of the stery on Wednesday created disgust.There is not and never was any such plan in existence.The executive has never given this matter the slightest consideration.Half a century from now there might be the need for such an overhead track, though that is doubtful; at present, the chief consideration with the C.P.R.is the double tracking and consolidation of the existing lines.Sir Thomas Shaughnessy did not deem it necessary yesterday to do more than say that the C.P.R.has not thought of such a thing, while the other officials spoken to said there was not even plausibility to justify the story mr NEW YORK STATE CANAL.Albany, N.Y.\u2026.Dec.1\u2014Since the appearance of advertisements seeking proposals for the construction of the thous-.and-ton-barge canal in New York state, requests for particulars have arrived in a volume that surprises the employees of the Department of Public Works.Thus far applications for plans and specifications have been received from over two i hundred contractors residing in nearly every state of the Union and Canadas.Naturally effervese én t and | | BR The streets which lead to the UP- ;
