NE of tho things about which
 rincc Edward Islanders have
’ cause for feiicitotion is the
fact that thecarc ofthe Insane of this Pro~
vinee is in good bands. It is a'geui in thc
crown of our present local admin-
lstratlon that they regard these,
the most unfortunate of God's creatures,
with a compassion and consideration that
is creditable to 'hnxunnity.` Wed rt
the insane people committed toits guardi-
`anshlp, A`i that can be done is done; done
cheerfully and willingly, and the condi-
tions which surround the inmates of Fai- Y
conwood are made as pleasant as can
possibly be ths case.
The present. asylum building at Falcon-
wood was completed in the year 1870, and
an extension was added ilve years ago.
It now affords sufficient room to allow
the superintendent to putinto practice the

 place in thc early morning of 8th
April 1868, during the second par
nf thc first session of the Dominion Par-
hi'mcnt. Howe had gone to England with
the avowed object of securing the repeal
ortlic union so far as Nova Scotia was
concerned and Tupper l\ad been scnt by
thc Dominion Government to prevent
that obicct being attained. The evening
and early morning hours of the 'ith and

words “sti'lklugbalcw thc belt." Patrick

led to the speedy arrest of Whalen. In his
bcd was found concealed a revolver with
all the chambers loaded except one and
that had been newly discharged. The
bullet found ln the door where the murder
was committed was of thu same dlmen
sionsaa those remaining in the weapon.
In due time Whalen was put cu trial for
hislife. He was defended hy an able
array of counsel, foremost among who_zn
was John Iillyard Cameron, then admit-
tedly the first lawyer in Ontario.
Ilut the rasc against the accused wa
-too-strong to admit of any other result

mosteloquent defence the jury found n
unanimous. verdict of guilty. It was
proved that Whalen) had repeatedly
threatened McGee's life; that hc had
dogged his victims footsteps about Mon-
Justice,,Sir.\Vllliam B. Richards, who
presided asked the prisoner in the
usual form whether he had anything
to say why sentence ufdcath should not

might be attempted on the day of execu-
tion.
At last the end came and Whalen stood
on the scaiiold, constructed a quarter of a
century before, but which had not yet had
a victim. Before the black cap \vas drawn
he stepped tothe front of the scaffold to
address the vast multitude assembled.
Executions were then public and many
thousands were gathered. Ha lid not
new protest his innocence, butdid claim
that he had not had n fair trial. 'l‘hc

breast, as if to ask him to forbear speak-
ing further. Whalen paused a moment,
than raising his voice shouted, “God save
Ireland!" and added in a lower tone, “God‘
save my soul." He thcn took his place

and made to do duty as a hospital. After
the epirlemlchad become. a. thingof the
past- the building was pulled down and
every sign cf its existence was soon
obliterated.
‘ A' curious fact-in-this connection is this:
that in the year 1844 the land for the old
asylum was purchased from the Govern-
mont of that day from the late George
Lewis, and that he was'stiil` alive when
in1804 after a lapse of fifty years he
bought the land back.
There is nothing now in the vicinity of
the om sue to indicate that it was ond!
occupied by any asylum or to recall
the melancholy associations of the moani-
ful period when it was tennnud by
victims of the smallpox plague.
Instead, a pleasant prospect pleases thh
eye on everyhand; and nearf the spot oh'
which the “old asylum” once stood thero
is new a pleasant summer cottage, which
overlooks the delightful scenery and thd
waters of the North River.
