PAINFUL ACClDENT.- _A very

PATRIOTIC MEETING.--Owing to

the very disagreeable state of the weather' on Thursday evening there were not many ln attendance at the recruiting meeting at Mt. Stewart. Seldom has it been the privilege of ilie people oi’ the village and vicinity to hear such able and forcible ora- tory as they heard that evening by the speakers of the evening, namely Rev. Dr. Fullerton, Messrs McLean, Martin, and Capt. MacNutt, Mr. I-I. F. Feehan, M. L. A., cted as chairman and both Rcv. II. P. Murray and Rev- l<‘. W. Sawdon made short speeches supporting the appeal for more men to flll up the ranks. Rev. Dr. Fuller- lon`s speech was a masterpiece. Many time in the course of his thrilling portrayal of the situation, he referred tenderly and in lofty enlogy to the hero of _Pisquid East near Mt. Stew- art, Cyrus B. Birt who nobly gave his life while fighting in the Princess Pats in Flanders. He told the young nien that young Blrt’s blood was calling for a mon to fill the gap. Though the fire of patriotism burned strongly in all -the speakers, not a harsh or unseeiningly word was spok- en. The appeal was made In the pro- per way-an appeal to meaniiness, chivalry, even Christianity. Capt. MacNutt in announcing that he was to swear in recruits, stated that he looked to the men trained in the 82nd. battalion to set the pace for other young -men who never had taken

IN HER 106th YEAR.

A remarkable Scotswoinan. Mrs.

Edmond. has passed away at Cardid. Wales in her 106th year. For some time she has resided with her niece, who is thc wife of Principal Griffiths. F. R. S.. of the South Wales Univer- sity College, and to the last she re- tained a keen interest- in life, follow- ing each day's events as recorded in the newspapers with unflngglng zest. On each anniversary of her birthday sho had been for some years past the reciplcnt of congratulations from thc King and Queen, to whom she was in- troduced on their Majestie's visit to Cardiff nine years ago. On that oc- casion the Queen expressed a desire to make the personal acquaintance of Mrs. Edmond. _When 92 years of age Mrs. Edmond had the misfortune to break her leg, but her vitality and powers 'of recuperation were still so great she made ex- ccllent recovery, and was able to excellent ercovery. and was able to walk without the aid of a stick. Mrs. Edmond was born at Aberdeen on Oc- tober 16, 1809. She was a girl of six when Napoleon was defeated at Wint- erloo, and used to recall. "as if It were yesterday!" the horror which the very name of "Honey" produced In this country. One of her teachers, M. Mar- tin had been a captain In Napoleon's army, and after the war found refuge

MAN.

(From the Montreal Gazette.)

"It's a lie." emphatically exclaimed

any truth in the reports sent out night. when asked whether there was Mr. John McCormack. the famous Irish tenor, ut the Ritz-Carlton last that hc had expressed pro-German views. Ordinnrlly Mr, McCorinack is thc very prototype of Irish gciiialiy. but on this particular subject ho was not genial. Ile thought a_niomcnt, and then repeated his remark, wltli further emphasis. “'Thc way this report started," said Mr. Mc(‘_orniack, “wus that in Kansas City a certain person tried lo fasten himself upon me, and I got rid of him. Later he sent a letter to some Toronto newspapers saying that I declared that ireland would be better off under German rule than British.

“One of the reasons I have come to

sing here at Montreal is to be able to tell the people of Canada that that is a lic," declared Mi'. McCormack. “I am ri British subject. 'born at Athlone, and I want to tell you that if you are- a pro-Gr-_rniaii I ani sorry for you. I have not only syiiipatliizod with the British Cause, but I have coiitrilinled to several funds. Further, when the iioeil for tobacco was told of, I sent presents of 100,000 cigarettes, 50.000! for tho boys at the front and 50,000 foi‘| those in hospitals.

“I doii’t know how this nian could

have sent out -such stuff," declared Mr. l\’l<-(Torniack_ "Vi7hy. I have never been in Germany. und don’t_ know what their rule would bc like. Any- way, I feel pretty well off ns I am. and the rest of us Irishmen seein to feel the same way. judging by the number of them that are out fighting and working for the Empire."

The Irish tenor could not get away

from the subject of the war. and ex- pressed delight that Italy had joined in it. “l3`ut," he added, “l want to tell you one thing-there are some men writing in England today who ought to bc shot and hanged. If Lord Northcllffe were in Germany and tried to write such stuff as his papers are publishing iio\v, he would not be left alive very long, nor his papers either.

As to himself, Mr. McCormack said

he had had a good rest, and was in splendid voice. Ho remarked that he was going to out out such songs as “Katlilcen Maviourneen,” which made trcmcndous demands on his voice, but he expected to sing as well us ever in his life. He declared he was par- ticularly anxious to sing well hero in view of the attacks that had been

hind i\Ir. Mc(`_drmacl< laughed and replied. with it rich brogue, "I'll go back when the war is over. me bhoy, and there is no danger of submarines. Anyway, what should I go for? They don'\ want ine there just now.”

THE FARMER AND HIS SHARE.

The Journal of Commerce reports

that on the 1st. of March. in New Brunswick, farmers were selling their potatoes at 35 cents a barrel, while in Montreal the consumer was paying the grocer $1.80 a barrel. In Den-

cents out of every dollar tho ultimate consumer pays for the product of the farm, and on this continent. the farm- er gets from R5 cents to 60 cents on each dollar. Of’ course -this is a land of magnificent distances, but even high freight charges will not account for this differeiice. When .the farmer gets his share probably there will he more farmers.
