THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE
THERE are few national institutions of more value and interest to the
country than the Royal Military College at Kingston. At the same
time, its object and the work it is accomplishing are not sufficiently under-
stood by the general public.
The College is a Government institution, designed primarily for the pur-
pose of giving the highest technical instructions in all branches of military
science to Cadets and Officers of Canadian Militia. In fact, it is intended to
take the place in Canada of the English Woolwich and Sandhurst and the
American West Point.
The Commandant and Military Instructors are all officers on the active
list of the Imperial army, lent for the purpose, and in addition there is a
complete staff of Professors for the civil subjects, which form such a large
proportion of the College course.
Whilst the College is organized on a strictly military basis the Cadets
receive, in addition to their military studies, a thoroughly practical, scientific
and sound training in all subjects that are essential to a high and general
The course in Mathematics is very complete, and a thorough grounding
is given in the subjects of Civil Engineering, Civil and Hydrographic Sur-
veying, Physics, Chemistry, French and English.
The object of the College course is thus to give the Cadets a training
which shall thoroughly equip them for either a military or civil career.
The strict discipline maintained at the College is one of the most valuable
features of the system. As a result of it young men acquire habits of
obedience and self-control, and consequently of self-reliance and command,
as well as experience in controlling and handling their fellows.
In addition, the constant practice of gymnastics, drills and outdoor exer-
cises of all kinds, ensures good health and fine physical condition.
An experienced Medical Officer is in attendance at the College daily.
as prizes to the Cadets.
The length of course is three years, in three terms of 912 months'
residence each.
The total cost of the three years' course, including board, uniforms,
instructional material and all extras, is from $750 to $800.
The annual competitive examination for admission to the College will
take place at the Headquarters of the several military districts in which
candidates reside, in May of each year.
For full particulars of this examination, or for any other information,
application should be made as soon as possible to the Adjutant-General

INTRODUCTION
After four years of almost uninterrupted labour, mainly of
research, I have the satisfaction of placing this first volume of the
“ Types of Canadian Women" before the public. My satisfaction
is blended with sincere gratitude for the patriotic sympathy and
generous help to which such measure of success as I have attained
has been largely due. From the first announcement of my pur-
pose, suggestions, reminders, references flowed in upon me from
near and far. I was thus often brought within reach of information
that would otherwise have remained hidden from me. I shall have
an opportunity by and by of expressing my thanks more fully to
the most cordial and effective of such coadjutors. Meanwhile,
they cannot be better represented than by the names of Lord
Strathcona, the Honourable Mr. Justice Baby, the Hon. Mr.
Justice Girouard, Sir Sandford Fleming, the Hon. Senator Gowan,
C.M.G., and Mr. John Reade, whose good-will, expressed in so
many ways, I justly and gladly acknowledge.
I am also thankful in another and larger sense. Arduous
though the research (which involved the writing of thousands of
letters) has necessarily been, I never for a moment had reason to
rue my undertaking. If it sometimes caused weariness of the
flesh, the languor was dispelled by refreshings of the patriotic
heart as ever new surprises disclosed the wealth of the mine which
it was my happy lot to have opened to the world. That this good
fortune should have fallen to me was doubtless due to the fact that
I had been so long engaged in biographic investigation. For
almost half a century I had been eagerly watching the careers, at
home and abroad, of the more distinguished of my fellow-country-
men. In such a pursuit I could not fail to be attracted to the rare
deserts of many Canadian women. These have due places assigned
to them in previous publications of mine. It was, however, only
within recent years that I contemplated (vaguely at first) the
making of such a book as this—a book in which the “predominant

Vi
INTRODUCTION
partner” has only a casual share. Once the idea had taken pos-
session of my mind, I felt like the convert from whose eyes the
scales had fallen.
If, however, I had been blind so long to the claims of women,
I was not alone. Indeed, my “Types” might never have been
dreamed of had I not been swept unconsciously into the current of
the age and felt the urgency of one of its most vital movements.
With what is revolutionary in that movement I have, it is true, no
sympathy. But the man must be obstinate in his prejudices who
disdains to acknowledge the need and the good of the reforms in
female education that have begun to atone for the long injustice of
the past. Of course, in the woman (as in the man) of genius there
is an innate force that impels her to the attainment of what is
essential for the fulfilment of her destiny. Strong desire seems
not only to suggest a forecast but to create the path to its goal.
It must at the same time be conceded that, even for women of
the privileged classes, the road for intellectual advancement was,
until quite recently, so uphill and arduous as to be practically
prohibitive.
About a century and a half before the accession of Queen
Victoria, Daniel De Foe wrote an essay on the Education of
Women, which, read to-day, shows what a start he had of his
generation. “I cannot think,” he writes, “that God Almighty ever
made women so delicate, so glorious creatures, and furnished them
with such charms, so agreeable and so delightful to mankind, with
souls capable of the same accomplishments with men, and all to be
stewards and cooks and slaves.” After further deploring a state of
things which dooms women to ignorance and frivolity, he expresses,
though rather vaguely, a hope for “those happy days (if they ever
shall be) when men shall be wise enough to reform it.”
The day that De Foe tried to foresee came at last, but it came
very slowly. When our late venerated Queen ascended the throne,
there was absolutely no provision accessible to the great middle
class, or even the class above it, for the higher education of women:
Repeated attempts had been made but in vain, to overcome the
prevailing prejudice and lethargy. The note sounded in seeming
play by the author of “The Princess ” was a signal to advance.
Soon after its publication the first definite victory of the cause was
won. The fifty years that followed witnessed an amazing develop-

INTRODUCTION
vii
ment in the liberation of women from old trammels, educational and
material. The struggle that went on in the United Kingdom had
its parallels on the continent of Europe, and in the lands of the
New World
In Canada, where the status of women had always been high,
the needed changes were brought to pass with less acrimony than
elsewhere, and were furthered by the chivalrous generosity both of
our men of learning and our men of wealth. Both the will and the
way were so happily united in that great Canadian, Lord Strath-
cona, that his name inevitably occurs to me as I write. The late
Sir J. W. Dawson, for many years Principal of McGill University,
is another name deserving of honourable mention in this particular.
In this volume and that which is to follow it the reader will have
ample opportunity of noting the results of those changes, and of
comparing the generation of the ladies that have profited by them
with that which preceded it, and its long line of predecessors.
The “Types” included in this work are mainly of two races, of
two orders of civilization, two great systems of belief and worship
They represent three centuries and many marked contrasts of
fashion and convention. They are of every class, from royalty to
that of the bourgeoisie and the ranks of industry. Among them are
women worthy to be called saints—those Servantes de Dieu en
Canada (as one writer* happily entitles them), who for the love of
God and the salvation of souls, the relief of the poor and suffering
and the help of strained toilers, gave up luxurious homes and the
attractions of a refined society. Some of them taught the wild
children of the forest; others undertook even menial offices, and
all of them exposed themselves to hazards that made even brave
men shudder to think of.
Of another character, though of the same proud stock, were
those in whose conscious veins throbbed the blood of soldiers, and
who, in the hour of peril, shrank not from the soldier's peril. To
all these lady pioneers fell the task of perpetuating in the wilder-
ness the graces and amenities of polite society, to be models of
good behaviour, to inculcate a sense of honour and keep alive the
torch of the household virtues. When the old order changed, the
old manners and morals, thanks to these good ladies and those
who walked in their footsteps, remained with us. Lady pioneers

of the new stock brought with them, indeed, some lofty qualities of
their own. Some of them had sacrificed much for the sake of
principle, and then taught their children to be brave and true and
loyal. Sons of both races, worthy of such mothers, fought shoulder
to shoulder for their common home against a common foe. They
went forth thrice-armed, because their quarrel was just, and did
credit to their gentle teachers. And as our heritage broadened
out till it touched the ocean on either hand, and new pioneers went
forth to guard new frontiers and new hearths, they caught and
handed on the old traditions, so that when not long ago such a
summons came as had never sounded before, Old Canada and
New Canada, true to the lessons they had learned at their mothers'
knees, went forth to fight, or if necessary, to die, for a cause, a
principle. The women of Canada knew their duty then, and did
it, each in her own sphere. Some went with the volunteers to
nurse, to teach, to pray. Those who went not in fleshly guise
went in spirit. For it was the battle of Greater Britain—of that
oversea Empire—which their prayers, their lessons, their nursing
had helped to create.
While the majority of the ladies in these “Types" may be
classed as Canadians by birth, to whatever original stock they may
belong by inheritance, there are others who represent the old lands
as well as Canada. Some of these are or were the wives of
governors, or other high functionaries, whose names have become
as household words to all Canadians. Others, born in Canada,
have become connected by marriage with illustrious British or
foreign families. Still others, born and married in Canada to
Canadian husbands, have through the succession or elevation of
the latter to peerages, or other high positions, gone to live abroad.
Of women who, by exceptional gifts and labours, have won honour
in their own and other lands, the number is so large that the writer
sometimes found the choice of types perplexing. Every sphere
of beneficent activity may be said to be exemplified in these
pages. Religion, philanthropy, society, art, letters, science are all
illustrated.
Special reference is due in this connection to the educational
work of the late Dowager Lady Stanley of Alderley, as set
forth in the English Journal of Education for April, 1895. Lady
Stanley, a native of Canada, ever took a warm interest in the land

INTRODUCTION
of her birth. She was the friend of Dean Stanley, the Rev.
F. Denison Maurice, Professor Huxley, Dr. and Mrs. Thorne
and others, well known for their fruitful interest in the higher
education of women. She was one of the first Vice-Presidents of
the London School of Medicine for Women, and did much to
encourage and aid the students of the Royal Art College, the
Maria Gray Training College, and other institutions of like general
scope. Her name is cherished to-day wherever in British lands,
and even beyond them, struggling women seek not in vain the
stimulus of sympathy and timely help.
The influence of the Princess Louise on the development of
Canadian womanhood is not likely to be lost sight of. The
encouragement which Her Royal Highness graciously extended to
higher education, and especially to the cultivation of art, deserves
the grateful remembrance of every Canadian.
Of Lady Aberdeen's work and example it is needless to more
than remind the Canadian reader. The results of her initiative
and unceasing effort for the elevation of her sisters while, with her
distinguished husband, she occupied Government House, Ottawa,
have been most salutary and far-reaching. Her influence amongst
us is still active and pervading, for since her return to Great Britain
Her Ladyship has maintained happy relations with the organiza-
tions that she founded in Canada. How deep and sincere is the
Countess's interest in all that concerns the moral and intellectual
life of our women was admirably illustrated not long since by a
paper which she read before the Colonial section of the Society of
Arts, London. On that occasion Lady Aberdeen took for her
subject, “Women in Canada.” The paper, which gave an account
of the noble and gifted essayist's experience during her residence
in Canada, and especially of her association with the organized
work of Canadian women workers, was as commendable for its
spirit as it was valuable for its facts.
In expressing a hope that my earnest investigations, which have
at least yielded a harvest from which both historian and private
student may find what they seek elsewhere in vain, may to others
be as beneficial as to me (in spite of drawbacks) they have been
pleasant, I trust it may not be presumptuous in me to make a
suggestion to those high in authority. It seems to me (and I am
sure to others) tha: the time has come when some fitting decor-

INTRODUCTION
ation should be instituted by which the worth of the women of
England's Colonial Empire might obtain timely recognition at the
Fountain of Honour. To the men of the Colonies many rewards
are open. Some of them have won Imperial honours which the
old lands envy them. Many more have received the acknowledg-
ment especially designed for the higher services of Colonists. The
author would be proud, indeed, and happy, if, by the accept-
ance of his suggestion, his book should be associated with the
honouring, not of his fellow.country-women only, but of all the
higher types of women in all the Colonies.

HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS LOUISE (DUCHESS
OF ARGYLL), V.A., C.I., R.R.C.
From a photograph, taken while in Canada, by Top.ey, Ottawa.
Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll),
Duchess of Saxony, is the fourth daughtei of Her late Majesty Queen Victoria.
Born March, 1848, she married, March 21st, 1871, the Marquis of Lorne (now
9th Duke of Argyll), P.C., K.T., G.C.M.G., whom she accompanied to Canada
on his appointment as Governor-General, October 14th, 1878. A painter and
a sculptor, Her Royal Highness was the means of having established, while in
Canada, the Royal Canadian Academy of Art. One of her works as a sculptor
is the fine statue of her Royal mother erected in front of the Royal Victoria
College, Montreal. Besides being a member of various orders and societies in
the Old World, she is, in Canada, the patroness of the Ladies' Educational
Association, of the Woman's Protective Immigration Society, of the Society of
Decorative Art, and of the Art Association, all of Montreal. Her Royal
Highness holds that “the subject of Domestic Economy lies at the root of the
highest life of every true woman.” She has never ceased, from her earliest
years, to take the warmest interest in the progress and welfare of the Dominion,
and only recently gave expression to the pride she felt in having once lived
among the Canadian people. Residences : Kensington Palace, London,
England; Roseneath, Scotland.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE BARONESS STRATHCONA
AND MOUNT ROYAL.
From a photograph by Notman, Montreal.
Isabella Sophia, Baroness Strathcona and Mount Royal, is the daughter of
the late Richard Hardisty, Esquire, of the Hudson's Bay Company. She married,
early in life, Hon. Donald A. Smith, Governor of the same corporation, who,
for his public services, was created a K.C.M.G. in 1886, a G.C.M.G. in 1896,
and was raised to the peerage in 1897, with a fresh patent in 1900, with special
remainder in default of male issue to their only daughter, Hon. Margaret
Charlotte Howard, wife of Robert J. B. Howard, Esquire, and her heirs male.
A woman of a retiring and unambitious nature, Lady Strathcona has yet ably
seconded her illustrious husband in his many acts and schemes for the benefit
of his fellowmen, and has herself subscribed liberally on many occasions.
Quite recently she, in conjunction with her daughter, gave $100,000 to McGill
University, for the erection of a new wing to its Medical Building. Throughout
she has exercised a large and gracious hospitality, and, in Canada, is especially
esteemed and loved. No more popular hostess could be found for Rideau
Hall in the event of a Canadian being selected for the Governor-Generalship.
Her Ladyship was presented to the King and Queen, March 13th, 1903.
Residences : 53 Cadogan Square, London; Knebworth House, Stevenage,
Herts, England; Glencoe, Scotland ; 1157 Dorchester Street, Montreal.

Hon. Ishbel Maria Marjoribanks, younger daughter of the Ist Lord
Tweedmouth, and his wife, Isabella, eldest daughter of the Right Hon. Sir
James Weir Hogg, Bart., was born in 1857. She married, in 1877, Sir John
Campbell Hamilton Gordon, 7th Earl of Aberdeen, who became Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland in 1886, and Governor-General of Canada in 1893, and is
the mother of three sons and one daughter, all of whom were with her in
Canada. Lady Aberdeen, who is an LL.D. of Queen's University, Canada, was
President of the International Council of Women, 1893-99. While in Canada
she founded the National Council of Women of Canada, and the Victorian
Order of Nurses, which bodies still exist. She has been well described as
“a noble woman, possessing rare executive ability, great capacity for work,
and the broadest sympathies.” On leaving Canada, in 1898, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier gave expression to the regret everywhere felt over the departure of
Lord and Lady Aberdeen, whose good works had left a deep and permanent
impression on the hearts of the Canadian people. Residences : 58 Grosvenor
Street, London, W., England; Haddo House, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Viola Allen, one of the queens of the American stage, is a native of the
Southern States. When three years old she went to Boston, and passed thence
with her family to Toronto, where she received her education at the Bishop
Strachan School, her brothers being educated at Trinity College School, Port
Hope. In 1882, when fifteen, she made her professional début at the Madison
Square Theatre, New York, in “Esmeralda," became leading lady for John
McCullough, in 1883, and subsequently played classical Shakesperian and
comedy roles with Salvini, Lawrence Barrett, Joseph Jefferson and W. J.
Florence. Her career as a “star” dates from 1898, at which time she created
the character of Gloria Quayle in “The Christian.” Her chief successes have
been in this character and in Virginia, Cordelia, Desdemona, Lydia Languish,
Dolores, Julia, and Roma. Address : Care Lieber & Co., Knickerbocker

From a photograph by Morrison, Chicago.
Miss Anglin, who has so quickly risen to fame in the dramatic profession, is
the eldest daughter of the late Hon. T. W. Anglin, at one time Speaker of the
Canadian House of Commons, by his second wife, herself a delightful amateur
actress, Miss MacTavish. Born in the Parliament Buildings, Ottawa, April 3rd,
1876, she was educated at Loretto Abbey, Toronto, and at the Convent of the
Sacred Heart, Montreal. She graduated from the Empire School of Dramatic
Acting, New York, in 1894, and made her first appearance in that city in
“Shenandoah.” An injury sustained while out riding laid her up for some
months, but in 1896 she became leading lady with James O'Neill, and toured
with him in the United States and Canada. She subsequently played with the
Sothern Company, and scored a great success as Lady Ursula ; but it was not
till 1898 that, as Roxane in “Cyrano de Bergerac," she gave evidence that she
was in every sense an experienced actress, with a great future before her. As
leading lady with Charles Frohman, in California, in 1899, she gathered fresh
laurels, which have since been sustained and added to in the same capacity
with the Empire Theatre Company, New York. As an emotional actress the
critics say she reminds them much of Clara Morris (q.v.). Residence: New York.

Mrs. Edith Jessie Archibald is the youngest daughter of the late Sir E. M.
Archibald, K.C.M.G., C.B., for many years H. B. M. Consul-General at New
York, and his wife, Catherine, daughter of Andrew Richardson, Esquire, of
Halifax, N.S. Educated in London and New York, she married, at sixteen,
Charles Archibald, Esquire, a son of the late Hon. T. D. Archibald, Senator,

Council of Women and President of the Local Council of Women of Halifax,
she is Vice-President for the Dominion of the W.C.T.U., and President of the
Maritime W.C.T.U. “A thoroughly educated, refined, cultured Christian
woman, of great intellect, great energy, indomitable perseverance and un-
bounded charity, she has become a natural leader of society, and moulds the
thought and ideals of her friends by her force of character” is the estimate
formed of Mrs. Archibald by one who knows her well and is qualified to judge.
We may add to this that she is both a charming writer and a graceful and
forceful speaker. Residence : 32 Inglis Street, Halifax, N.S.

American stage,” was born at Hamilton, Ont., May 3rd, 1869, of Irish and
Welsh parentage. Her real name, before her marriage to Mr. B. P. Cheney,

Company. Her first New York success was at the Union Square Theatre in
“The Black Masque." She made her debut in London, February, 1895, in
Sir Henry Irving's Company, playing roles next to Miss Terry, being especially
successful as Rosamond in “A' Becket.” Subsequently she accompanied

this engagement she “starred” as an emotional actress of the first class, her
greatest hit being made in Mrs. Burnett's play, “A Lady of Quality.” It was
said of her that she “had no rival so endowed with the Juliet nature.” She

she has well maintained the literary traditions of her family. She is also an
artist of much experience and merit. Miss Sanford (Godey's Magazine, July,
1897), records that Mrs. Chamberlin's “Canadian Wild Flowers” was the first
illustrated book of its kind published in Canada. With the exception of the
actual printing of the letter-press and the lithographs from the stone, it was the
work of one pair of hands. Each illustration had to pass through her hands
not less than sixteen times, and when the three editions were completed she
had coloured fifteen thousand plates. Copies of these editions are now rare.
Mrs. Chamberlin also drew on the lithographing stone the set of Canadian Fungi
(edible) recently published by the Geological Survey of Canada. She was the

shall be able to revisit the Dominion.” She was presented to the King and
Queen at a Court held in March, 1903. Residence : 82 Eaton Place, London,

ship in 1900 : “Lady Glen-Coats, who was a prominent figure at the last drawing-room,
is a handsome woman, tall and graceful, with masses of wavy golden hair, and she is
addicted to large picture hats, which are extremely becoming. A Canadian by birth,
Lady Glen-Coats is an extremely ardent politician, and is identified with innumerable
Liberal associations and interests in the West of Scotland. Her husband's immense
wealth, as well as her own attractive personality, combine to make her a welcome sup-
porter of every good cause." Seat : Ferguslie Park, Paisley, Scotland.

MRS. COLEMAN (“KIT”).
From a photograph by Marceau, San Francisco.
“That picturesque writer, and plucky and undaunted woman," as Mr. John
A. Ewan styles Mrs. Kathleen Blake Coleman, was born at Castle Blakeny, in
the West of Ireland, May, 1863, and received her education in Dublin and Bel-
gium. Marrying at sixteen, she came to Canada in 1884, and entered journal-
ism in 1890, in which year she took charge of a department of the Toronto Mail
and Empire, called “Woman's Kingdom," over which she still presides.
She has also served on several occasions as a special correspondent for
that paper, most notably in connection with the World's Fair, Chicago, 1893;
the Mid-winter Fair, San Francisco, 1894 ; British West Indies, 1894 ; Queen
Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, London, 1897, and the Cuban war, 1898 (she
being the first woman war correspondent in the world). Mrs. Coleman has
also written some good poetry, and is preparing for publication one or two
books. “As a critic,” says Dr. O'Hagan, “she has sympathy, insight, judg-
ment and taste.” She undoubtedly holds a foremost place among the women
journalists of the Dominion. Address : “ Mail and Empire” Office, Toronto.

Jane Ann Gordon, second daughter of A. A. E. Lethbridge, Esquire, and his
wife, Jane, only child of R. A. Hill, Esquire, of Hamilton, Ont., was born in
that city, July 25th, 1865. Educated in England, she married, 1893, Clifford
Cory, Esquire. According to “M. A. P.," Mrs. Cory is perhaps somewhat
outshone by the more brilliant social position of her only sister, Lady
Carew; “but," it continues, “she is a great favourite in society, is highly
cultured, and has many accomplishments. Her talent for music is far above
the average, and she shares with Lady Limerick the credit of being one of the
best amateur pianists in London. She practises regularly four hours a day, her
execution is practically faultless, and she has received praise from Paderewski
himself. Artistic embroidery is another of her attainments, and she systematic-
ally devotes two hours every day to this old-world occupation. Her work is so
exquisite that the flowers she embroiders are faithfully copied from life, and
prove a wonderful reproduction of natural form and colouring. Mrs. Clifford
Cory is a tall, handsome woman, with a striking resemblance to Lady Carew.
They both affect the same style of dress—rich satins and velvets, many jewels,
and large plumed picture hats.” Residence : London, England.

ent at Ottawa of the Montreal Star, and wrote a delightful series of essays for The Week,
called “Saunterings.” In company with Miss Lily Lewis she made a tour round the
world, embodying her impressions in a volume called "A Social Departure,” which was
followed by another book, "A Daughter of To-day,” and still another, “The American
Girl in London." In 1891 she married Everard Charles Cotes, M.A., of the Indian Civil
Service, who, later, became editor of a Calcutta newspaper. Among her subsequent

other Poems," a second edition of which appeared in 1899. In the opinion of
Dr O'Hagan, “no Canadian woman has yet appeared quite equal to her in
poetic endowment. Her gift was eminently lyrical, full of music, colour and
originality.”

riam. Mary E. Crowley lies beneath this sod, a victim of fraternal love.
Having rescued a younger brother and sister from the flames of her parents
dwelling, she exclaimed, Mother, all is over with me now, but I have saved
my brother and sister. She expired twenty-four hours after, October 15th,
1869, aged 12 years. Greater love no man hath known. This memorial was
erected by the Legislature of Nova Scotia.” This is believed to be the first

at the theatricals given at Government House in Nova Scotia. As presiding
hostess there, during her husband's double term as Lieutenant-Governor, she

and is a native of Woodstock, Ont. Her brother, Rev. Andrew Drew, M.A.,
was born at Toronto. It was their father who performed the daring exploit of
cutting out the steamer Caroline from the American shore on the Niagara
River, in 1838, which aroused such a hostile feeling against him in certain
quarters (notwithstanding that he had received a vote of thanks from the Upper
Canada Legislature therefor), that he was forced to give up his residence in
Canada and return to England, in 1842, taking his wife and children with him.
Mrs. de Horsey was then in her sixth year, and she has never revisited her
native land, though her husband has twice since their marriage held important

MADAME TARIEU DE LANAUDIÈRE (MARIE MADELEINE
DE VERCHÈRES).
Reproduced from a design by Edmond J. Massicotte, in Le Monde Illustré, Montreal.
Marie Madeleine, daughter of Francois Jarret de Verchères, a captain in the celebrated
regiment of Carignan-Salières, and his wife, Marie Perrot, was born at Verchères, P.Q.,,
April 17th, 1678. When but fourteen years of age she performed a deed of heroism which
has made her name famous in the annals of her country. A narrative of this and other
acts of equal courage and intrepidity by this lady was recently discovered in the Archives
of the Ministère de Colonies, Paris, by Dr. Edouard Richard, the historian, and is repro-
duced in the report on the Canadian Archives (Ottawa), printed in 1901. As regards the
first of these, it tells how the young girl, when some four hundred paces outside the fort
of Verchères, eight leagues from Montreal, which fort belonged to her father and was
then garrisoned by one single sentry, was nearly captured by the Iroquois, who carried
off twenty of the settlers, one of the Indians pursuing her to the gate of the fort, which
she managed to close, at the same time shouting “To arms !” as though the place had
been fully garrisoned. She paid no heed to the lamentations of the women whose hus-
bands had been carried off, but, donning a soldier's helmet, went through a number of
movements intended to convey the impression that there were many men in the fort,
loaded a four-pounder with ball and discharged it at the Indians. The siege was carried
on for eight days, when relief arrived, and the Iroquois were driven off. Mdlle. de Ver-
chères married, in 1706, M. Pierre Thomas Tarieu de Lanaudière, Seigneur of Ste. Anne
de la Pérade, and bore him two sons and one daughter. She died at Ste. Anne, August
8th, 1747, her husband having predeceased her only a few months. She has been called
the “Joan of Arc of Canada” by M. Chauveau, and her name and exploits have been sung
by many poets, including Reade, Dawson and Drummond. She is also the central figure
in M. Gerard's play, “Fleur de Lys,” produced in Montreal in 1902. Singularly enough,
however, no public statue has yet been erected by Canada to this the greatest of her
heroines.

MADAME DE LA PELTRIE.
From an oil painting in the possession of the Ursulines of Quebec.
Marie Madeleine, daughter of the Sieur de Chauvigy, Seigneur de Van-
bougon, was born in Aleçon, Normandy, in 1603. Early in life, to please her
father, for she had always a preference for a religious life, she married the
Chevalier Charles de Grivel de la Peltrie. In 1625, after five years of wedded
life, she lost her husband, and being without children, she decided to use her
fortune in the missions of New France. She sailed from Dieppe for Quebec,
May 4th, 1639, accompanied by a servant and three Ursuline nuns, one of
them being La Mere Marie de l'Incarnation. In August, three days after their
arrival at their destination, she laid the foundation of the Convent of the
Ursulines there--a religious community which for more than two hundred
and sixty years has devoted itself to the education of young women in Canada.
In 1642 Madame de la Peltrie accompanied Mdlle. Mance to Montreal, and
was present at the foundation of Ville-Marie by M. de Maisonneuve. She soon,
however, returned to Quebec, where she died, November 18th, 1671. Her life
in Canada was one of privation and self-sacrifice throughout. A good account
of her life is given in Miss Pepper's “Maids and Matrons of New France."

Sir H. G. Joly de Lotbinière, K.C.M.G.
Margaretta Josepha, a daughter of the late Hammond Gowan, Esquire, of Quebec,
married, 1856, Henri Gustave Joly, Esquire, Advocate, of the same city, who, through
his mother, Julie Christine Chartier de Lotbinière, a granddaughter of the last Marquis
de Lotbinière, whose name he added to his own in 1888, can claim connection with
some of the oldest and most aristocratic families of France. Entering public life, M.
Joly became Prime Minister of Quebec, was, later, a member of the Government at
Ottawa, and, in June, 1900, was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia, an
office he still fills. In 1895, for his public services, he was created a K.C.M.G.
Throughout his public career, Lady de Lotbinière has very ably seconded him in many
things for the public welfare not exclusively political in character and purpose, and has
otherwise shown herself to be a fitting helpmeet of a husband so distinguished. In
1901 they had for their guests the present Prince and Princess of Wales. A woman of
tender sensibility, her sympathies were early enlisted in the cause of the orphans of
Quebec, and, later, she became warmly interested in the work of the National Council
of Women, formed by the Countess of Aberdeen. She has also contributed to the intel-
lectual culture of her sex by forming clubs in Quebec, Ottawa and Victoria for the study
of Shakespeare among women. Among her children are two sons who bid fair to attain
high distinction in the profession of arms, and two daughters, Mrs. Nanton and Mrs.
Greenwood, who are models of beauty, grace and culture. Residence: Government
House, Victoria, B.C.

Mary Anne, daughter of Major Jeremiah W. Dewson, formerly of the 35th
Regiment of Infantry, with which he served under Wellington, and, subse-
quently, of the 15th Foot, and his wife, Elizabeth Kinsey, was born at Ennis-
corthy, Wexford, Ireland, while her father was stationed there with his regi-
ment, May 24th, 1817, and was married in Canada, December nith, 1838, to
George Taylor Denison, Esquire, of “Rusholme,” Toronto, then a lieutenant
in the Queen's Light Dragoons, and afterwards lieutenant-colonel commanding
the ist Regiment of York Light Dragoons, and other local corps, and Colonel-
Commandant 5th and ioth Military Districts, Upper Canada. Col. Denison
died, May 30th, 1873, and Mrs. Denison, on September 15th, 1900. Mrs. Denison
has not inaptly been called "a mother of soldiers,” for of her seven sons, six of
them have borne arms for their sovereign, a record hitherto, we believe,
unequalled in Canada. Her eldest son, Lieutenant-Colonel G. T. Denison, for
many years Police Magistrate of Toronto, has attained great distinction both
as a volunteer militia officer and as a writer on military subjects. In 1877 he
won the first prize offered by the Emperor of Russia for a “History of Cavalry.”
Since 1893 he has been President of the British Empire League in Canada.
Another son, Captain John Denison, R.N., commanded, for some years, the
Royal yacht, Victoria and Albert.

her married life at Draycott Hall, Yorkshire, survived her husband three years,
dying March 19th, 1884. She was a sister of the Baronne de Veauce, of
Lady Matheson, and of Mrs. Houstoun of Clerkington, all of whom, like her,
were born at “Spencerwood.”

the death of his elder brother, to the Earldom of Derby. Her Ladyship remained in
Canada, with her husband and several of their children, throughout his term, and both
she and he are pleasantly remembered by many. “In the many thoughtful actions
Lady Derby rendered, while in Ottawa,” writes Mr. C. H. Mackintosh, a former Mayor,
M.P., and Lieut.-Governor of a Province, “she gave new charms to vice-regal intercourse
with the social life of our people.” While in Ottawa, she was instrumental in securing
the foundation of the Lady Stanley Institute for Trained Nurses, as well as a Maternity
Hospital. She also served as president of the fund instituted by the women of Canada
for the presentation of a wedding gift to the present Prince and Princess of Wales, and,
in their name, handed over to the Royal couple the sleigh, robes, harness and horses
hich were subscribed for, together with a canoe for the Princess. The total amount
ed for this purpose nearly approached $4,000. In 1890 she and Lord Derby
nad as their guest at Rideau Hall, Prince George of Wales, now Prince of Wales. In
1903 they had as their guest in England His Majesty the King. Her Ladyship is the

wealth as a fur trader in the North-West, and subsequently became prominent
as a legislator. He died in 1840, and his widow in 1886, both being buried in
the Church of Notre Dame, Montreal. Malle. de Rocheblave, as her mother
did before her, holds a distinguished place in society, and her home is the

From a miniature in the possession of Mrs. Turner, Rosebank, Dartmouth, N.S.
Madame Alphonsine Thérèse Bernadine Julie de Montgenet de St. Laurent,
Baronne de Fortisson, was a French lady whom H.R.H. Prince Edward (aftei -
wards Duke of Kent) first met in Martinique. She accompanied him to
Quebec, and afterwards to Nova Scotia and to England, and for twenty-eight
years presided over his household, as a local chronicler records, “with dignity
and propriety.” After the Duke's marriage to the widow of the Prince of
Leiningen, in 1818, Madame de St. Laurent retired to a convent, and the date
of her demise is unknown. Her first husband was the Baron de Fortisson,
a colonel in the French service. She is described as having been beautiful,
clever, witty and accomplished. Many of her letters will be found in Ander-
son's "Life of the Duke of Kent” (Quebec: 1870). In 1792 she stood sponsor,
with the Duke, at the christening of one of the de Salaberry children, at Beau-
port. It has been claimed by several writers that the Baroness was morgan-
atically allied to the Duke of Kent.

Mrs. Mary Ella Dignam, painter and art critic, is the daughter of Byron
Williams, Esquire, and his wife, Margaret Ellinor Ferguson, both of U. E.
Loyalist descent, and was born in the County of Prince Edward, Ontario,
January 13th, 1860. Her early art studies were pursued in Toronto and New
York, and her first productions-portraits and attempts in figure and land-
scape—were exhibited before the Royal Canadian Academy and the Academy
of Design. Later, she continued her studies at Paris, but more recently she has
been entirely under the influence of the Dutch school, and Holland has become
her familiar painting ground. In this field she has been very successful. Her
highest ambition, however, was to establish at Toronto a society of women
artists, the outcome of which has been the Woman's Art Association of Canada,
having branches in all the principal cities of the Dominion. Of this body she
is the President. In addition thereto, Mrs. Dignam is an active member and
office-bearer of various other organizations of a national character. She has
also contributed largely to newspaper and periodical literature on art subjects.

family as passengers, ice-bound off Anticosti, Gulf of St. Lawrence. In the
foreground Lady Dorchester and her son, Hon. George Carleton, are seen
walking on the ice. This is supposed to be the only picture of her Ladyship
ever taken. The Lady Maria Howard, daughter of the 2nd Earl of Effingham,
was married, May 22nd, 1772, to Major-General Guy Carleton, afterwards Lord
Dorchester, who was Governor of Canada on two occasions, namely, from 1766
to 1778, and from 1786 to 1796. She accompanied her husband to Canada, and
lived at the Castle of St. Lewis, Quebec, the summer months being spent,
occasionally, at St. Foy. The entertainments at the castle during the Dor-
chester régime were of a princely character, especially those given in
connection with the visit, in 1787, of Prince William Henry, afterwards King
William IV. While at Quebec three children were born to Lord and Lady
Dorchester, namely: Hon. Christopher Carleton, Hon. Maria Carleton (Lady
Bolton), and Hon. Dudley Carleton. Her Ladyship, in 1775, presented colours
to the 5th Battalion of Quebec militia. Lady Dorchester was a devoted wife
and mother, but she offended Canadian society by the formality of her manner
and a rigid adherence to the etiquette of the Court of St. James. She died at
the residence of her son-in-law, Lord Bolton, Hackwood Park, Basingstoke,
Hants, England, March 14th, 1836. Her husband died November ioth, 1808.

eldest daughter of John Gibson, Esquire, W.S., Edinburgh, was born and educated in Montreal. She married, first,
in London, England, 1879, Rev. George Hamilton, M.A., eldest son of Robert Hamilton, Esquire, of “Hamwood,
Quebec (who died at Cannes, France, May 6th, 1880); and secondly, 1884, Hon. George Alexander Drummond,
Senator, of Montreal. Mrs. Drummond has throughout been closely connected with various benevolent undertakings,
and has otherwise done much for the public good. Lady Aberdeen, in Upward and Onward, places her at the head
of the Canadian sisterhood for activity in “promoting all that is true and just and beautiful among women, and for a
consuming hatred for unrighteousness in every form." She also pays a tribute, in the same paper, to her “distin-
guished presence, great personal charm, gifts of rare eloquence, and the power of clothing her thoughts in most
expressive language.” The Home for Incurables, Montreal, founded by her husband in 1894, is indebted to her for
much thought and care in the preparation of its interior. She is a director of the Woman's Historical Society, a
member of the Executive Committee of the Aberdeen Association, a member of the Advisory Board of the Parks
and Play-grounds Association of Montreal, and she was the first President of the Montreal branch of the
National Council of Women, founded by the Countess of Aberdeen. One of the most able of the papers read
by Mrs. Drummond before that body is one on “Purity of Speech and Accent," which “Lally Bernard”
has pronounced "a remarkably clear and telling essay.” Another subject which she has had much at heart, and
respecting which she has had some correspondence with Archbishop Bruchesi, of Montreal, is systematized charity.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Drummond were presented to Queen Victoria, in 1900, and, on the occasion of the visit of the
Prince and Princess of Wales to Canada, in 1901, Mrs. Drummond had the honour of presenting to the Princess, on
behalf of the Citizens' Reception Committee of Montreal, the beautiful jewel, of native Canadian gold and workman-
ship, subscribed for by that body, Senator Drummond presenting to the Prince, at the same time, the citizens'
commemorative medal. Mrs. Drummond also prepared the address presented to Queen Alexandra from the women
of Canada. In the event of a Royal Order of Merit being established for the decoration of Colonial women, Mrs.
Drummond would doubtless be one of the first to be selected as a representative from Canada in the order.

THE MOST IIONOURABLE THE MARCHIONESS OF DUFFERIN
AND AVA, V.A., C.I.
From a photograph by Bourne & Shepherd, India.
Harriot-Georgina, eldest daughter of Archibald Rowan Hamilton, Esq., of Killyleagh Castle, County Down,
Ireland, was born in Dublin, 1843, and received her education at home, at a school at Boulonge, France, and after-
wards at a school near Liverpool. She lost her father at an early age, and, in October, 1862, married Lord Dufferin,
afterwards the brilliant statesman, administrator and diplomatist, who was raised to a Viscounty and Earldom in
1871, and to the Marquisate of Dufferin and Ava in 1888. Lord Dufferin was appointed Governor-General of Canada,
June 15th, 1872, and he continued as such up to October 18th, 1878. Afterwards he was successively Ambassador at
St. Petersburg and at Constantinople, Viceroy of India, and Ambassador at Rome and at Paris, Lady Dufferin being
with him at all these places, but both have declared that their happiest and busiest years were spent in the Dominion.
While in Canada two of their children were born : Lord Frederick Blackwood, and the Lady Victoria Blackwood (now
the Baroness Plunket, 9.v.). During his term of office in Canada Lord Dufferin, accompanied by the Countess, visited
all portions of the Dominion, including British Columbia, and it was while in Manitoba, on one of these occasions,
that her Ladyship drove the first spike on the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. On another occasion she pre-
sented colours to the Governor-General's Foot Guards, a local corps raised under her husband's auspices. After
leaving Canada, she presented colours to the rooth Royal Canadian Regiment, of the regular forces. Lady Dufferin
was unquestionably the most popular Vicereine we have ever had in Canada, and is to-day, with the single exception
of the Princess Louise, the one whose memory is the most warmly cherished. The Dufferin entertainments exceeded
in magnitude and splendour anything of the kind ever seen in this country, even in Lord Durham's time. Their
fancy dress ball, given at Rideau Hall, in March, 1876, it has been said, could not have been surpassed by the Court
of the French Empire in its palmiest hour. Lady Dufferin has left some of her impressions of Canada in her “Cana-
dian Journal” (1891). Among her other literary works are: “Our Vice-Regal Life in India,” and “The Record of
Three Years' Work of the National Association for Supplying Female Medical Aid to the Women of India." Among
her Ladyship's decorations are: The orders of the Crown of India, Victoria and Albert, the Chefakat (a Turkish
order), and the Persian order of the Sun. Lord Dufferin died February 12th, 1902. A county has been named after
him in Ontario. Residence : Clandeboye, County Down, Ireland.

MISS DURAND.
From a photograph by Simpson, Toronto.
Laura Bradshaw Durand, who, in the opinion of one so capable of judging in the premises as Mr.
John S. Willison, “is one of the best all-round journalists on the Canadian press,” comes of Huguenot
stock on her father's side, and Ouaker stock on her mother's side. Born at Toronto, she is the
daughter of Charles Durand, and his second wife, Mary Anne Bradshaw. Educated by private
tuition, she had from the first a good deal of intellectual curiosity, and was an independent thinker
while already a young girl. Her first experience in journalistic work was gained on a Toronto weekly,
whence she joined the Globe, of that city, of whose regular editorial staff she has been a member since
February, 1894. On this paper she has done all sorts of work, the vast mass of it being unsigned.
Among her most effective work were the editorials on the Armenian massacres, which so stirred up the
Canadians and caused a large fund to be raised for the relief of the persecuted people. Her best work,
however, has been literary criticism, in which she seems perfectly at home, no matter what the subject
er consideration. It was she who initiated the book review department in the Globe, and she has well
maintained it on the level of the best critical traditions. She also initiated a department for young
people, and worked it up unaided to its present popular standing. In addition to other work, she writes
Circle of Young Canada," under the pen name of “Pharos.” In this character she carries ou a
Targe correspondence. In all she does she is hard-working and conscientious. Residence : 237 Huron
Street, Toronto.

distinguished statesman, who was raised to the peerage, as Baron Durham, in
1828, received an Earldom in 1833, and was appointed High Commissioner and
Governor-General of British North America, January 16th, 1838. Accompanied
by his wife and children, his Lordship arrived in Canada, May 27th, 1838, and
Lady Durham held her first drawing-room, for ladies only, at the old Chateau,
Quebec, on the evening of June 13th following. On July 5th Lord and Lady
Durham commenced an official tour of the two Provinces, proceeding as far
west as Niagara, and met with a most gratifying reception everywhere. After
remaining but a little over five months in the colony, Lord and Lady Durham
embarked for England, November ist, 1838. Lord Durham died at Cowes,
I.W., July 28th, 1840, aged 48 ; Lady Durham died at Genoa, November 26th,
1841, aged 45. Her remains were interred beside those of her late husband,
in the family vault, Chester-le-Street.

MADAME DUVAL.
From a photograph by Elison, Quebec. Kindly furnished by the Hon. Mr. Justice Baby, Montreal.
Adelaide Dubuc, wife of Chief Justice Duval, of Quebec, to whom she was
married June uith, 1849, was long one of the most prominent social leaders of
the ancient capital, her house in St. Lewis Street being the centre of the most
intellectual and fashionable gatherings of her day. There she and her husband
had entertained many of the Governors and their wives, and even Royalty
itself. Her first husband, to whom she was married in August, 1825, was also
a Duval and a cousin of the second husband. She is mentioned in Hon. Mrs.
Monck's Journal. Well educated and with musical tastes, she possessed also
conversational powers which made her a most agreeable hostess. She rendered
active assistance on several occasions towards raising funds for the relief of fire
sufferers in Quebec, and in 1870 was President of a Committee formed to
provide relief for the widows and orphans of the French refugees in London.
One of her daughters married Captain Serecold, of the 66th Regiment ; the
other the Chevalier Baillairge. She survived her husband, and died at Quebec,
January 31st, 1886, aged 77.

LA VÉNÉRABLE YOU D’YOUVILLE.
From a painting by Beancourt.
Marie Marguerite Dufros de la Gesmerais, who became one of the most
noted philanthropists of New France, was the daughter of a French officer, by
his wife, Renée Gaultier de Varennes, and was therefore a sister of Vérendrye,
the celebrated French explorer. Born at Varennes, P.Q., August 15th, 1701,
she was educated at the Convent of the Ursulines, Quebec, and, in August,
1722, married François Madeleine You d'Youville, a gentleman of rank and
fortune, belonging to Montreal. Left a widow, with two children, in 1730, she
devoted the rest of her life to works of beneficence and charity, and was instru-
mental in founding the order of the Grey Nuns, and with it the General
Hospital, of Montreal. She died in Montreal on Christmas eve, 1771.
Madame d'Youville is described as having been a most gifted, accomplished
and amiable woman, having but one object in life, the good of her fellow-
creatures. Her name is preserved in a street and a square in Montreal, and
in numerous institutes and asylums elsewhere. Some years since steps were
taken in the Catholic Church to secure her canonization, and she was declared
“ Vénérable.” Her life has been written by the Abbé Faillon, Lady Jetté, and
by Mgr. D. S. Ramsay.

Loyalist family in that Province, married, September, 1865, James D. Edgar,
Esquire, Barrister, a prominent public man, who became Speaker of the Cana-
dian House of Commons, August, 1896, was created a K.C.M.G., 1898, and
died 1899. Lady Edgar, who has been well described as “a woman of clear
intellect and graceful tact,” took, for many years, an active interest in the
National Council of Women (of which she was for a time the acting President),
of the Women's Canadian Historical Association (of which she was President),
of the U. E. Loyalist Association (of which she was Vice-President), and in
various kindred bodies ; but of late her literary work in England has absorbed
her whole attention. She is the author of “Ten Years of Upper Canada in
Peace and War, 1805-1815" (1895), and is now preparing for publication “The
Life and Times of James Edgar, the Jacobite, Private Secretary to the
Chevalier St. George," and a “Life of Sir Isaac Brock.” She and her daughters
left many pleasant memories behind them in Ottawa. Residence : Toronto.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE MARY LOUISA, COUNTESS OF
ELGIN AND KINCARDINE, C.I.
From a photograph by E. Day & Son, Bournemouth. Kindly furnished by her son,
the present Earl of Elgin.
Lady Mary Louisa Lambton, eldest daughter of the ist Earl of Durham, and his second wife, Louisa Elizabeth,
daughter of the 2nd Earl Grey, was born in 1819, and married, November 7th, 1846, James, 8th Earl of Elgin and
Kincardine, K.T., G.C.B., the eminent diplomatist and statesman, who was appointed Governor-General of Canada,
January 30th, 1847, an office he continued to fill till December 18th, 1854. Her Ladyship did not accompany her
husband to Canada, but waited for a less inclement season, some months later. When she did come the Legislature
passed an address of congratulation to Lord Elgin on her safe arrival, a compliment, we believe, unprecedented. (See
" Journals L. A. of Canada," 1847.) This was Lady Elgin's second visit to Canada, as she had been here in 1838
with her father and two of her sisters, the Ladies Emily and Alice Lambton. Lady Alice came with her
now, together with her step-daughter, Lady Elma Bruce (now Lady Thurlow). Later she had as her guest
her sister-in-law, the Lady Augusta Bruce (afterwards the wife of Dean Stanley). Lady Elgin remained in
Canada, almost uninterruptedly, throughout her husband's term, during which time the seat of Government was
moved from Montreal to Toronto, and thence to Quebec. It was the Elgins who first occupied “Spencerwood,"
Quebec, as a vice-regal residence. At Montreal they lived at “Monklands,” and at Toronto at “Elmsley Villa.”
Their balls, fêtes and other entertainments were of a most brilliant character, and are remembered to this day by
"old-timers.” It was they who renewed the custom of some of the early Governors of giving a ball upon the last
night of the year. Lady Elgin was also much occupied with serious matters. She took a deep interest in the subject
of education, and paid frequent visits to schools and colleges. She also did much for the relief of the poor and
distressed, and was President of various hospitals and societies organized for th nat purpose. In Toronto she turned
the first sod of the Northern Railway, and she was also present at the openin ng of the Lachine Railway, Montreal.
On the latter occasion the Hon. Peter McGill, in proposing the toast of her health, said that she had given the example
of every social and private virtue. Lord Elgin, in reply, said that “his wife's feelings for Canada involved not only
the associations of the present, but the recollections of the past, and that she was anxious to identify herself with its
interests in the future, and this not only in respect to society and its amusements, but also in regard to those more
important matters on which the foundations of the prosperity of the country rest.” She sketched beautifully, and left
in this country some good specimens of her art. Two of her children were born in Canada, the present Earl of Elgin
and the late Hon. Robert Preston Bruce. Lady Elgin afterwards accompanied her husband to India, on his appoint-
nient as Governor-General of that country, and she continued to be with him there till his death, at Dhurmshalla,
November 20th, 1863. Her Ladyship died at Broomhall, Dunfermline, March 1oth, 1898, aged 78. She was one of
the first to be enrolled in the Imperial Order of the Crown of India, on its creation.

first wife, Lady Hannah Althea Bettesworth, second daughter of Charles, ist
Earl Grey. The Ellice family went to England from Montreal. Mr. Ellice, Jr.,
entered Parliament in his father's lifetime, and sat therein for a lengthened
period. Not long after his marriage he came to Canada, and was in occupa-
tion of the Manor House, at Beauharnois, P.Q. (his father being Seigneur there),
when it was attacked by the rebels in 1837. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ellice, and her
sister, Miss Balfour, were made prisoners. Mrs. Ellice died at Edinburgh,
April 13th, 1864. In the volume from which her portrait is taken are some lines
in reference thereto, by Henry F. Chorley, concluding as follows:
66 A new Belinda! With her tresses rarer
Than those which gave our courtly bard his lay;
Blest is the man who won her well to wear her,
Angel of household love, and, calmly gay,
Companion to beguile life's darkest, weariest day!”

is for her good looks. Portraits of her have been painted by Ellis Roberts, of
London, and Gerald Hayward, of New York. Residence : Government House,

From a photograph by W. & D. Downey, London. Kindly furnished by her brother, Lieut.-Colonel
F. A. Gore, 45 Rutland Gate, S.W., London, England.
Eliza Amelia, eldest daughter of General Sir Charles Gore, G.C.B., K.H., and his
wife, Sarah Rachel, eldest daughter of the Hon. James Fraser, M.E.C. of Nova Scotia,
was born at Quebec in February, 1829. Educated in part in Canada, she married
at Montreal, September 20th, 1848, the 18th Earl of Erroll, Hereditary Grand High
Constable and Knight Mareschal of Scotland, who was then an A.D.C. on the staff of
the Earl of Elgin, Governor-General of Canada. Among the gifts at the wedding,
according to the Quebec Mercury, was a diamond bracelet from Queen Victoria, a
diamond pin from the Queen Dowager, a bracelet costing five hundred guineas from Sir
James Kempt, and a silver dressing case from the Duchess of Inverness. Of the issue
of this union, two of the sons were born in Canada, including the present Earl of Erroll,
K. T., who so highly distinguished himself in South Africa. Her Ladyship, after leaving
Canada, accompanied her husband to the Crimea (where he was severely wounded), and
was on board the steamer Caradoc when the battle of Alma was fought, from which the
distant firing could be heard. Subsequently, she was for twenty-eight years Lady-in-
waiting to Queen Victoria, who bestowed upon her many signal marks of her great
regard, standing sponsor for one of her sons, appointing another a page of honour in
her household, and conferring upon the Countess herself the Royal Order of Victoria
and Albert. Lady Erroll is an exceptionally well-educated woman, and excels not only
in music and languages, but also in riding, driving and boating. Among her husband's
Aberdeenshire tenantry she was greatly beloved. She is an eloquent speaker, and is
prominent in all efforts of temperance reform and Mothers' Union and Girls' Friendly
Societies. In order to encourage the wives of the life-boat men to let their husbands go
out to sea when needed, Lady Erroll herself went out with the life-boat at Port Erroll,
one day when there was a heavy sea on, and her example had a good effect. Her
husband died in 1891. Residence : Kew Cottage, Kew, England.

MADAME GAMELIN.
From an oil painting in the possession of the Seurs de la Providence, Montreal.
Marie Emilie, daughter of Antoine Tavernier and his wife, Josephte Maurice, and
granddaughter of Julien Tavernier and Marie Anne Girouard, was born in Montreal,
February 19th, 1800, and married, June 4th, 1823, Jean Baptiste Gamelin, Esquire, of
the same city. He died in 1827, and the year after, having lost her surviving child, she
gave herself entirely to religion and to works of charity, more especially the care of aged
and infirm women. In 1828 she had succeeded in providing a small refuge in St.
Lawrence Street, and, in 1831, she had secured a larger one in St. Philippe Street.
Following up the good work, she obtained possession of what was known as La Maison
Jaune, at the corner of St. Catherine and St. Hubert Streets. In 1841 this institution
was incorporated by the Legislature, under the name of the “ Corporation de l' Asile des
Femmes Agées et Infirmes de Montreal.” Madame Gamelin, together with the other
petitioners, who included Mesdames Nolan, Lacroix, Cuvillier, Fabre (9.v.), Viger,
Perrault and Berthelot, became known as The Ladies of Providence, and large sums of
money were raised by Mgr. Bourget and others, in 1843, to aid them in erecting a
new building. The association, however, was not regularly constituted by the Bishop of
Montreal till the year 1844, when its members were allowed to take simple vows and
become nuns of charity, under the name, “ Les Sæurs de la Providence." Madame
Gamelin, the foundress, became the first Superior. Since then the community has
grown so widely, that if not the largest in the world, it is certainly the largest in America,
having missions and houses throughout the continent. In Montreal, the Maison-mere,
erected in 1888, L'Hospice Gamelin, erected in 1894, and the new Asylum, in 1899, are
among the most beautiful and extensive of such edifices there. The community also have
charge of the Longue Pointe Lunatic Asylum, under contract with the Provincial Gov-
ernment, where they care for about two thousand patients, and are proprietors of the
Deaf and Dumb Institute, St. Denis Street, where they educate about three hundred
pupils. They number about one thousand professed nuns. This saintly and venerated
woman died in Montreal, September 23rd, 1851, her death occasioning widespread regret
throughout the country. She was buried in the Chapel of the Order.

Margaretta Graddon was born in the West of England, 1806; she died in Ottawa,
1868, and is buried in the old Sandy Hill Cemetery there. Her father, a publisher of
music, was a friend of the Duke of Sussex, son of George III., and the latter stood
sponsor at her baptism. Showing a remarkable aptitude for music, Miss Graddon was
placed, successively, under Sir George Smart, Crivalli and Tom Cooke, and made her
first appearance as a singer at Dublin, her fine voice, faultless form, added to her youth
and beauty, creating a most favourable impression. She made her first appearance in
London at Drury Lane Theatre, October, 1824, as Susannah, in the “Marriage of
Figaro." Her success was great, and it culminated when “Der Freischutz” was pro-
duced at the same theatre, she being the original “Linda,” the composer, Weber,
presenting her with a valuable diamond ring on the occasion. In 1830 she married Mr.
Gibbs, the only son of an opulent London merchant, and retired into private life.
Later, however, she returned to her profession, and, coming to America, opened the St.
Charles Theatre, New Orleans. After touring in other portions of the States, she took
up her residence in Canada, in the early forties, and remained here, almost uninter-
ruptedly, till her death. She gave concerts in many of the principal cities, and also
took part in garrison theatricals, with Lords Mulgrave and Tullamore and others, in
Montreal. In her old age she taught music in Ottawa. “In her grave," wrote Joseph
Smith Lee, “are laid as many virtues as fall to the lot of even the best of human beings."

Isabella Cuthbert Ross, was born in the “Fortress City,” but received her edu-
cation in Montreal, where her father was long engaged in mercantile life. Both
in Montreal and in Ottawa, where she now lives, Miss Gordon has been iden-
tified with all sorts of meritorious work. She was particularly interested in the
success of the fund, started in 1885, for the relief of the wives and children of
the volunteers engaged, under General Middleton, in the suppression of the
“Riel Rebellion,” and of a similar fund, more recently established, in connec-
tion with the war in South Africa. The Humane Society, and the Women's

have likewise benefited by her connection with them. Miss Gordon belongs
to the branch of the Gordon family known in Scotland as the Gordons of
Monyby and Loch dougan. Some of its members emigrated to Virginia about
one hundred years ago, and their descendants are numbered among the rich
and influential inhabitants of Virginia and Maryland. Miss Gordon's grand-
father settled in Quebec, and died there in 1832. She was related to, and a
personal friend of, the Duke of Richmond, and was with that nobleman when
he died, near Richmond, Ont., in 1819. Residence : “Kenmure Cottage,” 14 Kent

and his wife, Mélina Mignault. Educated at Plattsburgh, N.Y., and at the Convent of
the Sacred Heart, Montreal, she early displayed musical gifts of a rare character. Her
first appearance in public was made in Montreal, when she was seven years old. At a
later period she sang in Quebec, and, at fifteen, she went to Albany, N.Y., to become
an organist and teacher of singing. Her savings in these positions enabled her to
proceed to Paris for the cultivation of her voice. Thence she went to Milan, to study
under Lamperti for Italian opera. In 1870 she made her debut at Messina in “La
Sonnambula,” under the name of Albani, in compliment to an old and almost extinct
Italian family, and met with immediate success, which was repeated in other cities that
she visited on the continent. Her first appearance in England was made at Covent
Garden Theatre, in 1872, in “La Sonnambula.” She also sang in oratorio, that year, at
the Norwich Festival. To recapitulate her triumphs since then, both at home and
abroad, would be to repeat an oft-told tale. To-day she holds the undisputed position
Madame Albani married, in 1878, Ernest Gye, Esquire, the well-known impressario, and
is the mother of a son of much promise. Residence : Park House, Earl's Court Road,

at Kingston, January 3rd, 1822, George Henry Hart. In 1824 she published,
there, “St. Ursula's Convent ; or, The Nun of Canada ; Containing Scenes
from Real Life,” which is believed to have been the first Canadian novel in the
English language issued from the native press. At a later date she published,
at Rochester, N.Y., another work of fiction : “ Tonnawanda ; or, The Adopted
Son of America ; an Indian Story." In 1831 she returned to Fredericton, and

Anna Maria, daughter of the Rev. Philip Yorke, Prebendary of Ely, and his wife,
Hon. Anna Maria Cocks, daughter of the ist Lord Somers, was born 1808, and married,
November 27th, 1838, Edmund Walker Head, Esquire, M.A., who succeeded his father,
as 8th Baronet, in the same year. In October, 1847, her husband was appointed
Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, which post he filled till September, 1854, when
he was appointed Governor-General of Canada. He remained in the last-named office
till October, 1861, and, returning to England, died there, January, 1868, when his title,
which was created in 1676, became extinct. Lady Head was the mother of three
children, one son (who was accidentally drowned in the river St. Maurice in September,
1859) and two daughters, one of whom was born at Fredericton, N.B., February 6th,
1849. Her Ladyship, according to Hon. R. W. Scott, P.C., who was personally acquainted
with her while she was in Canada, “was a woman of fine presence, bright and intellec-
tual, who did the honours with much tact.” She sketched beautifully, and Mr. Scott
recounts that when on a visit to Ottawa, in 1857, she drew a picture of the view from
Major's Hill, which she subsequently presented to Queen Victoria, and this, with her
Ladyship’s vivid description of Ottawa and its surroundings, in his opinion, had
weight with the Queen, as within a month or two after this event Her Majesty chose
Ottawa as the seat of Government of United Canada. Lady Head was much given
to works of charity, and went about herself among the poor, bestowing alms. During
her husband's administration in Canada they received as guests the Prince of Wales
(now King Edward VII.) and suite, Prince Alfred (the late Duke of Edinburgh), and
Prince Napoleon. A memorial of her Ladyship's visit to the Upper Ottawa, in a bark
canoe, in 1856, stands at Portage-du-Fort. A township-Maria, in the county of
Renfrew—was named after her. Lady Head died at Oak Lea, Shere, Guildford, England,
October 4th, 1890.

and its institutions—more particularly the St. Patrick's Orphan Asylum and the
Catholic Sailors' Club-she has never been backward in giving her support to
other interests and movements for the public good. For years she has been a

James Douglas, K.C.B., was born in Victoria, B.C., her father being then Colonial
Secretary of the colony. She has lived much of her life in the colonies, and
married, in 1883, Sir Frederic Mitchell Hodgson, K.C.M.G., the present
Governor of Barbados. In March, 1900, she accompanied her husband, who
was then Governor of the Gold Coast, to Kumassi. While there several of the
tribes forming the Ashanti Confederation broke out into open rebellion, and
besieged the fort. She witnessed more than one of the minor engagements
between the garrison of the fort and the rebels, and it will be remembered
that after enduring many hardships it became necessary, on account of the
failure of provisions and the non-arrival of relief, for the slender and weakened
garrison to make the attempt of breaking through the rebel lines. The
attempt was successful, owing to the bravery of the Housa native troops, under
the command of Major Morris, D.S.O., and after incredible hardships the
whole party, with only a few casualties, reached the coast. Lady Hodgson,
who was the first English lady to visit Ashanti, has given a very graphic
account of the siege and of the subsequent march to the coast, in her inter-
esting book, called “The Siege of Kumassi.” Residence : Government House,

MISS SALLIE HOLMAN.
From a photograph by Cooper, London, Ont. Kindly furnished by her brother, Mr. Holman.
Sallie Holman, a clever and exceedingly popular opera singer, was born at
Lynn, Massachusetts, U.S., 1852. She was the daughter of the late George
Holman, of London, Ont., and was the principal singer in an English opera
troupe formed by him, in the sixties, composed of himself and wife, his two
daughters and two sons, with some others, one of whom was William H. Crane,
which toured throughout Canada for many years. The Holmans were, at
separate periods, lessees of the London Opera House, the Royal Lyceum,
Toronto, the Grand Opera House, Ottawa, and the Theatre Royal, Montreal.
Sallie, who had a strong, flexible and well-toned soprano voice, which she
managed with the skill of a trained musician, began her career when but nine
years of age, and she sang continuously from that time up to within a few
weeks of her death, which occurred at London, Ont., June 7th, 1888. She had
married, in 1879, Mr. J. T. Dalton, a member of the same company. The
announcement of her death occasioned widespread regret, and many beautiful
tributes were paid to the memory of "the charming songstress and clever
actress” in the newspapers of the day, one of the most touching and eloquent
being from the pen of the late John Lesperance (“Laclede") in the Montreal
Gazette. The range of her repertoire was wide, and the number of operas
which she knew by heart much beyond the average. The music of Donizetti,
Bellini, Balfe and Wallace suited her best, and it was in some of their chief
characters that she won her greatest triumphs.

Augusta Louisa, youngest daughter of the late Hon. John Beverley Robinson, and
his wife, Mary Jane Hagerman (q.v.), is equally distinguished in the musical and social
annals of Toronto, in which city she was born. During her father's term as Lieutenant-
Governor of Ontario, 1880-87, she was associated with her mother in dispensing the
hospitalities of Government House, where her charm of personality and her rare vocal
gifts gained for her the highest regard. She subsequently took vocal instruction in
London, from Randegger, and in Paris, from Laborde. She sang in London at many
public concerts, in company with other artists of the highest reputation, and was also on
tour in the Provinces. The London Morning Post said her intonation was almost per-
fection, and her voice was most meritorious in its clearness of enunciation and its finished
production. In London she was associated in friendship and in domicile with the dis-
tinguished song composer, Maude Valerie White. She returned to Canada in 1895, and
after going on tour with Madame Albani, in the following season, remained on this side
of the Atlantic. She has also sung on tour with Pol Plancon, Plunket Greene, and
Signor Foli. She married, October 8th, 1898, Stewart Fielde Houston, Esquire, Bar-
rister. Residence : 75 St. George Street, Toronto.

sweeter instincts of her sex, and never so happy as when giving happiness to all around
Her administration of the Government House, as the first occupant after Confederation,
did much to popularize that institution, and her zeal on behalf of public charities and all
movements tending to brighten and broaden the social life of the city and Province, set
a worthy example to the wives of all our citizens who have means and leisure." Among
her guests at Government House, at different times, were H. R. H. the Duke of Con-
naught and suite, their Excellencies Lord and Lady Lisgar, Lord and Lady Wolseley,

MISS MAY IRWIN.
From a photograph by Aimé Dupont, New York.
Ada, daughter of the late Robert E. Campbell, Esquire, of Whitby, Ont.,
and his wife, Jane. Draper, was born at Whitby, Ont., 1862, being one of two
daughters, who both displayed musical talents at an early age. After their
father's death, their mother, who was in straitened circumstances, determined to
put her daughters' gifts to use on the stage. Accordingly the sisters made
their début at the Adelphi Theatre, Buffalo, in February, 1876. Unknown to
them they were billed as the “Irwin Sisters," a name they adopted, and by
which the elder sister is still known, the other sister being married to Senator
Grady. In 1877 the sisters went to New York, and for nearly a decade were
great favourites at Tony Pastor's Theatre. It was there that May learned the
tricks of ready improvisation which have helped to make her the most
successful American comedienne of her time. While there, Miss Irwin
accepted an offer to join Augustin Daly's company, and she was with him from
1883 to 1887. Then she branched out as a "star" in the boisterous farce
comedy, which has added so much to her stage reputation. Among her own
pieces have been : “ The Widow Jones," "The Swell Miss Fitzswell,”
“ Courted into Court,” “ Kate Kip-Buyer," “Sister Mary," etc. She married,
1878, Frederick W. Keller, of St. Louis (he died 1886), and is the mother of
two sons. Residence : 155 West 44th Street, New York.

MRS. JACK.
From a photograph by Notman, Montreal.
Annie L., daughter of John Hayr, Esquire, was born in Northamptonshire, England,
January ist, 1839. Coming to America, in 1852, she attended Miss Williard's Academy
at Troy, N.Y., and wrote her first article for a newspaper of that city. She came to
Canada, on her marriage with Robert Jack, a Scotch farmer who possessed a fine horti-
cultural taste, and encouraged his wife's literary work. Realizing the difficulties in the
way of farmers' wives, she stipulated for one acre of land to be devoted to any depart-
ment of horticulture she chose, the profits to be her own pocket-money. This was faith-
fully adhered to, and the result, after twenty years' experience, was demonstrated in the
Rural New Yorker, by Mrs. Jack, under the title “A Woman's Acre.” A large family
and domestic cares have kept her busy, but as shrubs and trees have grown and blos-
somed, the acre has become a Mecca for many a horticultural pilgrimage, its renown
being mainly due to the variety of plants that have been tested within its limits. Besides
this Mrs. Jack has found time to write stories and poems for various newspapers and
magazines. “Women's Work in New Channels,” contributed to Harper's Young People,
was from her pen, as also the letters of “Loyal Janet,” on social topics, in the Montreal
Witness. In the latter journal she has conducted for some years a department on flowers
and fruit. In 1902 she published a volume, “The Little Organist of St. Jerome, and
Other Stories," which affords some entertaining pictures of the quaint life of the French
Canadian habitant. During the present year (1903) a second volume from her pen,
entitled “The Canadian Garden : A Pocket Help for the Amateur," has been published
in Toronto. Her husband died in April, 1900. Residence : “ Hillside," Chateauguay
Basin, P.Q.

LADY JOHNSON.
Copied by Henderson, Montreal, from a family painting. Kindly furnished by
General J. Watts de Peyster, New York.
Mary, daughter of the Hon. John Watts, sometime President of the King's Council,
New York, married, June 30th, 1773, Colonel Sir John Johnson, only son of Colonel Sir
William Johnson, Bart., who distinguished himself as a military commander during the
first American War, and his wife, Catherine Wisenberg. Sir John Johnson, who, like
his father, was a devoted Loyalist, succeeded to the baronetcy in 1774, and was made
Superintendent-General and Inspector-General of Indian Affairs in British North America.
Lady Johnson, whose loveliness Mrs. Grant of Laggan has described in her “Memoirs
of an American Lady," was also a woman of understanding and vivacity, and bore
herself with becoming dignity when detained by the Whigs of New York, in 1776, as a
hostage for the good conduct of her husband, after the latter's escape to Canada. After
joining Sir John Johnson here, she lived principally in Montreal, the summer months
being spent, frequently, on her husband's seigniory at Argenteuil, on the Ottawa river.
She also visited in England, where she was much admired in Court circles. In an
address presented to her husband by the citizens of Montreal, on their leaving there for
England, in 1792, “Lady Johnson's urbanity and politeness” are specially mentioned.
Lady Johnson bore her husband ten sons and four daughters. One son, James Stephen
Johnson, was killed at the siege of Badajoz, in 1814 ; one daughter, Catherine Maria
Johnson, married Major-General Bernard Foord Bowes, who fell at Salamanca, in 1812,
while leading the troops to the assault, and to whose memory a public monument was
erected in St. Paul's Cathedral, London. His wife, who died at Anglesey, February 5th,
1850, aged 66, is buried in Highgate Cemetery, London, where her monument records
that her “extensive benevolence and enduring qualities gained the esteem and admira-
tion of all who knew her.” Her sister, Marianne, died January ist, 1868, aged 76, and is
buried in the same cemetery. Her Ladyship died in Montreal, August 7th, 1815. Her

lotte, daughter of Colonel Hon. John Munro of Fowlis, M.L.C., was, like her sisters, Mrs.
Harwood and Mrs. Bingham (9.v.), born at Vaudreuil and educated in Montreal. The
sisters were known in the society of the period as “The Three Graces.” She married,
in Montreal, December 17th, 1828, Gaspard Pierre Gustave Joly, Esquire, a Huguenot
gentleman from France, and was the mother of three children, one daughter and two
sons. Amelie, the daughter, married Captain H. G. Savage, R.E., and had a daughter
who became the Vicomtesse de Coux. The eldest son, Henri Gustave Joly, who assumed
his mother's name by Act of Parliament, 1888, entered public life, and was created a
K.C.M.G. by Queen Victoria, 1895. He is now Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia.
Edmond, his brother, entered the army, being gazetted to the 32nd Regiment. While
on sick leave, he volunteered for service in the Crimea, and was present with the Con-
naught Rangers at the taking of Sebastopol. In 1857 he left for India, to rejoin his old
regiment. The mutiny had broken out before his arrival, but young Joly, amid a
myriad perils, succeeded in reaching General Havelock at Cawnpore, and marched with
him to the relief of Lucknow, where the 32nd were in occupancy of the Residency. He
fell, at Lucknow, September 25th, being struck down by a bullet in the midst of the
struggle Havelock was making to reach the Residency, and died expressing his satisfac-
tion at having arrived in time to save his comrades.* Monsieur and Madame Joly
lived for some years at the Manor House, “Pointe Platon,” which is still occupied by
the de Lotbinière family. The latter died in Quebec, October 24th, 1887, having
survived her husband for many years, aged 77. Her remains were interred at Vaudreuil.

From a photograph by Murray & Son, Brockville, Ont.
Eliza Maria, daughter of Robert Harvey, Esquire, of Maitland, Ont., was
born there, and educated in Scotland. She married, 1860, Chilion, sixth son
of the late Mr. Justice Jones, of Toronto, and is the mother of two sons and
three daughters. Mrs. Jones enjoys the reputation of being one of the most
successful stock-raisers and horse-breeders in America. As a girl she gave
much attention to dairying and to the systematic management of a herd of
Jersey cattle which became famous and took the first prize at all the great
exhibitions in Canada. It is said that a large basket would not hold all the
medals-gold, silver and bronze-won by this herd, without counting silver
cups and silver services taken in the United States. At a later stage, Mrs.
Jones became a horse-breeder, and her stable has acquired such a pinnacle of
fame that racers and carriage horses from it find a ready sale in all parts of
America. Mrs. Jones is the author of a book, “Dairying for Profit, which
has met with an extensive sale. One of her daughters, Miss Elsie Jones, is a
noted horsewoman. While going to press, we regret to hear of the death of
Mrs. Jones, which occurred at Gananoque, Ont., April 6th, 1903.]

In the following year she was sent by the American Methodist Episcopal
Missionary Society to China, taking up her residence in Peking. In August,
1879, she went to Tien-Tsin, at the request of His Excellency the late Li Hung
Chang, to attend his wife, then seriously ill, in co-operation with Drs.
Mackenzie and Irwin. On Lady Li's recovery, she was invited by her to
remain in Tien-Tsin, in practice, which she did, the use of a temple being given
to her for the purpose. Not long afterwards she founded, in that city, the
Methodist Episcopal Mission Hospital. In 1885 she opened a medical school
for Chinese women and girls who had been educated in mission schools, and,
in 1886, Lady Li built her another hospital, which is now supported by the

K.C.M.G., and his wife, Elizabeth Sarah, daughter of William Molson, Esquire, of

Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons, and, subsequently, Lieutenant-Governor
of Ontario, who was created a K.C.M.G., at Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, 1897.
A woman of rare personal charms, exquisite manners, and uncommon tact and judgment,
her sojourn at Government House, Toronto, during her husband's term of office, was
marked by a social brilliance and absence of friction unsurpassed and unknown in local
annals for many years. This was acknowledged in an address presented to Sir George
and Lady Kirkpatrick by the citizens of the “ Queen City," before they retired into private
life. While first lady of Ontario, Lady Kirkpatrick took the lead in securing funds for the
presentation of a wedding gift to the present Prince and Princess of Wales ; she also
took an active part in securing the establishment in Canada of a branch of the St. John
Ambulance Association. In 1898 she was selected to present colours to the Army and
Navy Veterans. It will also be remembered that she was the lady to whose grace and
beauty a very marked tribute was paid during the last visit to Canada of Li Hung
Chang. When asked by His Excellency: “What is the loveliest thing that Canada
has produced?” the unhesitating answer of Sir Henry Joly de Lotbinière was, “ Lady
Kirkpatrick !” Her Ladyship lost her husband, by whom she had one son, in 1899, and
has not remarried. Residence : “ Closeburn," 215 Simcoe Street, Toronto.

Charles Knowles, 3rd Baronet, of Lovell Hill, Berkshire, England, and a distin-
guished officer, who commanded the Niger expedition, 1864, and quelled the
insurrection in Santa Cruz, 1880. He was promoted rear-admiral, 1889, and
vice-admiral, 1894, and succeeded to his baronetcy, 1892. Of this marriage
there was issue three sons and two daughters. Mrs. Knowles died at Rath-
mullen, Ireland, in 1890, aged 35. In a letter received from her husband he
says: “I am sure she was a good specimen-type of the Canadian women, for
she was in every respect a true woman-of the most sterling character. She
was devoted to her grandmother, the widow of the Hon. Joseph Howe, and
curiously enough, they both died on the same day, 5th of July, 1890.” Mrs.
Knowles' sister, Catherine Christian, married, March, 1889, the Rev. W. C.
Bourchier, M.A., Chaplain Royal Navy, and Domestic Chaplain to the Marquis
of Camden.

THE MOST HONOURABLE THE MARCHIONESS OF LANSDOWNE,
- C.I., V.A.
From a photograph by Cowell, Simla, India.
The Lady Maud Evelyn Hamilton, seventh daughter of James, ist Duke of Abercorn, K.G., P.C., and his wife,
Lady Louisa Jane Russell, V.A., second daughter of John, 6th Duke of Bedford, K.G., was born in 1850, and married,
November 8th, 1869, the 5th Marquis of Lansdowne. K.G., P.C., G.C.S.I., G.C.I.E., G.C.M.G., a distinguished
statesman and administrator, who became, successively, Governor-General of Canada, Governor-General of India,
Secretary of State for War, and Foreign Secretary, which latter office he now fills. Lady Lansdowne was one of the
group of sisters immortalized by Lord Beaconsfield in “Lothair," consisting of the Countess of Litchfield, the Countess
of Durham, the Duchess of Buccleuch, the Countess of Mount Edgcumbe, the Countess of Winterton, and the Duchess
of Marlborough, and was described by the late Marquis of Dufferin as “one of the most charming women that ever
graced London society.” On coming to Canada with her husband, in October, 1883, she was accompanied by her
children, Lord Kerry, Lord Charles Fitzmaurice, Lady Evelyn Fitzmaurice (now Lady Evelyn Cavendish), and Lady
Beatrix Fitzmaurice (now the Marchioness of Waterford), and her niece, Lady Florence Anson (now Lady Florence
Streatfield). Lord and Lady Melgund (now Lord and Lady Minto) had already arrived, Lord Melgund to become
Military Secretary to Lord Lansdowne. During their stay in Canada Lord and Lady Lansdowne saw much of the
country and its people, and enjoyed a well-deserved popularity. At different periods, during certain seasons, they
lived, alternately, at Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Quebec, and entertained in all those places. Instead of giving
one large ball, to which all would be invited, their Excellencies usually gave two balls in succession, different guests
being invited to each ball. There was therefore never any unseemly crowding at their entertainments. Their private
theatricals, in which Lady Evelyn Fitzmaurice, Lady Florence Anson, Lord Frederick Hamilton, Hon. H. J. Anson,
General Middleton, Captain Streatfield, Mrs. Stuart, Miss Agnes Scott, and the Misses White, took part, were also
well ordered and enjoyable functions. Lord and Lady Lansdowne attended the ice carnivals in Montreal, during
two or three years, and gave great eclat to those events, many American visitors coming across the border to meet
them. Lady Lansdowne officiated, in 1886, at the distribution of medals to the Ottawa "sharpshooters," who had
assisted in quelling the rebellion in the North-West Territories. One of her happiest and most successful entertain-
ments was a tea given at Rideau Hall to four hundred Sunday School children. A woman of unerring tact and
the finest judgment, she always seemed to say and to do the right word and thing at the right time; and in
nothing more did she display her good taste than in her dress, which was always extremely simple. She was
undoubtedly of great assistance to her illustrious helpmeet—who, in the opinion of Sir John Macdonald, was “the
ablest Governor-General Canada ever had”—and Lord Lansdowne, on his return to England, in 1888, ascribed his
large share of success in the Dominion to her Ladyship's able support and co-operation. While in India, Lady
Lansdowne was decorated with the Orders of Victoria and Albert and the Crown of India. In March, 1903, the
Viceroy, Lord Curzon, unveiled at Calcutta a portrait of Lady Lansdowne, painted by Mr. J. J. Shannon, A.R.A., for
the Executive Committee of the Lansdowne Memorial Fund. Residence: Lansdowne House, Berkeley Square,
London, W. Seat : Bowwood Park, Calne, Wiltshire, England.

Julia Mary, ninth child of the late Thomas Wade Rothwell, Esquire, and his wife,
Frances M., daughter of Major Harry Allison, goth Regiment, was born in the township
of Warwick, Ontario, February 18th, 1850. Educated at the Convent of the Sacred
Heart, London, Ont., she married, at Lucknow, in May, 1873, James Digges La Touche,
Esquire, of the Indian Civil Service, who was then Settlement Officer, at Ajmere. His
subsequent advancement in the service was rapid, becoming Commissioner in Upper
Burmah, 1886; Magistrate and Collector, N.W. Provinces, 1890 ; member of Lieutenant-
Governor's Council, 1891; Commissioner and Agent at Benares, and afterwards Chief
Secretary to the Government of the N. W. Provinces, 1893 ; acting Lieutenant-Governor
and a member of the Viceroy's Council, 1898; Lieutenant-Governor of Agra and Oudh,
1901. He was created a C.S.I., 1896, and a K.C.S.I., 1901. Lady La Touche has
been constantly with her husband throughout his lengthy and eventful career since their
marriage, and has, by the exercise of many winning qualities, added much to his
popularity. Their only child, Lolo, died when six years of age. Both Sir John
and Lady La Touche took part in the famous Durbar at Delhi, recently, the latter
dancing with Lord Kitchener in the opening State Lancers, at the State ball. Residence:
Government House, Allahabad and Lucknow, India.

LADY LAURIER.
From a photograph by Topley, Ottawa.
Zoe, daughter of G. N. R. Lafontaine, Esquire, and his first wife, Zoe Lavinge dit Tessier, was born in
Montreal, and received her education at the School of the Bon Pasteur in that city, and at the Convent of the Sisters
of the Sacred Heart, St. Vincent de Paul, where she became proficient in music, an accomplishment which has
never left her. Losing her mother at an early age, she was thrown into the society of her future husband under
romantic circumstances, resulting in their marriage, in Montreal, May 13th, 1868. Mr. Laurier was then a member of
the junior bar, but he had already begun to attract the attention of his friends by reason of his singular gifts as a
public speaker-gifts which, with other intellectual attributes, were soon to be used for the benefit and advantage of
his country, and which would ultimately secure for their owner a foremost place among native statesmen. Owing to
Mr. Laurier's delicate state of health at that time, the young couple moved into the country, taking up their residence
at Arthabaskaville, which continued to be their home from that time till their permanent removal to Ottawa in 1896,
in consequence of Mr. Laurier's elevation to the Premiership of Canada at that time. With the capital Lady
Laurier--as she subsequently became entitled to be called-was no stranger, for she had been accompanying her
husband thither at each succeeding session of Parliament, for many years, and even while still in the "cold shades of
Opposition" had succeeded in gathering together a goodly circle of friends, who were always strongly in force,
despite many adverse influences, at her Saturday evening musicales. “A thorough woman,” says Mr. Willison,
“the secret of Lady Laurier's success lies in her unaffected grace and charm of manner, there being not the slightest
pretence or taint of affectation about her.” Under present conditions she still keeps up her weekly receptions, and
these have become exceedingly popular with friends and politicians of all classes and schools. In addition to her many
social duties, she finds time to attend the meetings of many of the charitable and other useful associations common
to her sex. On the formation of the National Council of Women of Canada, by the Countess of Aberdeen, she became
one of the Vice-Presidents at large of that body. She is also Honorary Vice-President of the Victorian Order of Nurses.
In 1897 Lady Laurier accompanied the Prime Minister to England, on the occasion of the celebration of Queen
Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, and besides taking part in the ceremonies connected therewith, visited Her Majesty at
Windsor Castle. Her husband and herself also attended the Queen's garden party and the Queen's State ball at
Buckingham Palace. Subsequently they travelled in France and Italy. In 1901 Lady Laurier participated in the
festivities incident to the visit to Canada of the present Prince and Princess of Wales, and was delegated to present to
the Princess the gift of the women of Ottawa, consisting of a fur cloak. Lady Laurier also accompanied Sir Wilfrid
to England, in 1902, and was present with him in Westminster Abbey at the coronation of King Edward and his
Royal Consort. She wore on that occasion a magnificent diamond tiara, consisting of 175 selected diamonds, the gift to
her Ladyship of the members of the Senate of Canada on the Government side. An important feature of their stay in
London, at that time, was a grand banquet at the Hotel Cecil given by Sir Wilfrid and Lady Laurier and other visiting
Canadian ministers to their friends, which was attended by the Princess Louise (Duchess of Argyll), Lord and Lady
Minto, Lord and Lady Strathcona, and nearly every Canadian of note then in the British capital. Before leaving
England, Lady Laurier received in person from Queen Alexandra the silver Coronation medal. Residence : 365

MISS LAUT.
From a photograph recently taken by Topley, Ottawa.
Miss Agnes C. Laut, who has lately come into prominence as a successful
writer of fiction, is a native of Winnipeg, and was educated at Manitoba Univer-
sity. Her mother was a daughter of the Rev. Principal George, D.D., of Queen's
University, Kingston, and her father one of the Scotch Wallaces. While in
her junior year at college her health failed her, and she was sent to spend the
summer in the mountains among the Rockies and the Selkirks. There she
gathered much of the material used in her first novel, “Lords of the North,”
published in 1900. But before the issue of this book she wrote some political
editorials for the Manitoba Free Press which attracted much attention and
were widely copied. Subsequently, she wrote on international subjects for the
New York Evening Post, the Review of Reviews, and the Montreal Herald,
and on the French Fishing Shore (Labrador) question for the New York
Herald, the Westminster Gazette, and other papers. Following the success
achieved by her first book, and in the same field, she published, in 1902,
“Heralds of Empire," and later, in the same year, “The Story of the Trapper.”
Since then she has written a story for Outing, and a series of articles on the
fur trade for the Century. Residence : “Wildwood Place," Wassaic, N.Y.

Emily, only daughter of the late J. G. Barthe, Esquire, advocate, member
of Parliament and journalist, and his wife, Marie Louise Adelaide, daughter of
Joseph Pacaud, Esquire, of Three Rivers, P.Q., was born in Montreal, and is
of mixed French and German ancestry. She was educated at home and at
the Ursulines, and, when a girl, went to Paris with her parents, where they
remained for some years. Her parents went much into society, and were in
the habit of receiving at their house many of the most distinguished social
and literary personages of the day, including the Comtesse de Montigo, mother
of the Empress Eugenie, Lamartine, Béranger, Thiers, Victor Hugo, etc., all of
whom Madame Lavergne, though then a child, remembers perfectly. After
returning to Canada she married, November, 1876, Joseph Lavergne, Esquire,
advocate, who was elected to the House of Commons in 1887, and raised to the
bench ten years later. Madame Lavergne is cultivated, well read, and a clever
conversationalist. She takes a deep interest in public matters, and has not
inaptly been called the “ Lady Wadegrave of Canada.” She is probably the
most brilliant society woman in French Canada since the golden age of
Madame Duval (q.v.). Residence : 283 Prince Arthur Street, Montreal.

She married, April 16th, 1846, Captain John Henry Lefroy, R.A., the director of the
Toronto Observatory, 1842-53. He was a distinguished soldier and man of science, and
in recognition of his services as such was created a C.B., 1870, and a K.C.M.G.,

Rosanna Eleanor, daughter of Francis Mullins, Esquire, was born in
Montreal, November 9th, 1832, and educated at the Convent of the Congre-
gation de Notre Dame. When only fourteen years of age, she commenced to
write in prose and verse under the initials “R. E. M," for Lovell's Literary
Garland, and continued her contributions to that well-known magazine as long
as it remained in existence. Subsequently she wrote for the Boston Pilot,
the Montreal Daily News, the Canadian Illustrated News, Le Pionnier de
Sherbrooke, the Journal of Education, the Saturday Reader, the Hearthstone,
and various other periodicals. Among her novels, some of which appeared in
book form, were “Ida Beresford,” “Florence Fitzhardinge," "Eva Huntingdon,"
“ Clarence Fitzclarence," "Eveleen O'Donnell," "The Manor House of De
Villerai," “Antoinette de Miracourt,” “Armand Durand,” “Ada Dunmore," and
“Lillian's Peril.” She married, in 1851, Dr. J. L. Leprohon, afterwards Spanish
Consul at Montreal, and was the mother of several children. She died in Mont-
real, September 20th, 1879, and is buried in Côte des Neiges cemetery there ;
her husband, who died later, being also buried there. After her death, her
poetical productions were published in book form, with an introduction by Mr.
John Reade, in which that accomplished writer pays a fitting tribute both to
her literary genius and to her virtues as a woman. “Her literary life," he says,
“constituted but one phase in a life nobly, yet unostentatiously, consecrated
to the duties of home, of society, of charity, and of religion. Mrs. Leprohon
was much more than either a poet or a novelist—she was also, in the highest
sense, a woman, a lady."

MRS. TRAVERS LEWIS.
From a photograph by the Stereoscopic Company, London,
Mrs. Ada Maria Lewis is the fifth surviving child of the late Evan Leigh, Esquire, of
Manchester, England, and was born in that city. Educated in Germany and at Paris, she
evinced great talent in painting and music, but gave up these accomplishments to devote
herself entirely to works of philanthropy, in the carrying out of which she has achieved a
world-wide reputation. As a young girl, she was honorary secretary to an association
founded at Manchester, to relieve the suffering operators there during the existence of the
cotton famine, in the sixties, and she also opened a soup kitchen, at that time, at her own
expense, which three days a week provided dinners for three parishes. But even before
this she had taken the first steps towards securing the establishment at Paris of mission
homes, for English girls living in that city, four of which homes, through her efforts, now
exist, together with an orphanage, the property thus secured being valued at £40,000.
Not long afterwards she founded an English and American Church at Neuilly, collecting
£18,000 for the purpose. Visits to the French prisons were also instituted by her with
many beneficial results. She was likewise the means of having the manufacture of
carpets substituted for the picking of oakum in some Irish reformatories. In February,
1889, Miss Leigh married, as his second wife, the Most Reverend John Travers Lewis,
D.D., LL.D., first Archbishop of Ontario, and accompanied His Grace to Canada. He
died at sea, May 4th, 1901, since when his widow has resided mainly in England. It is
announced that she is now writing his memoirs. Quite recently she gave £2,500 to the
King's Hospital Fund. She has also given fifteen full scholarships to the Royal Academy
of Music, to be open to residents of the British Isles and of Canada. "A woman who has
always lived for others" is the tribute which this noble woman has earned from a well-
known London journal. Residence : 9 Trevor Terrace, Rutland Gate, London, S.W.,

Adelaide Annabella, daughter of Edward Tuite Dalton, Esquire, of Fermor, County Meath, Ireland, and his
wife, Olivia, second daughter of Sir John Stevenson (who married, secondly, the 2nd Marquis of Headfort, K.P.,
P.C.), was born in 1821. She married, first, April 8th, 1835, the Right Hon. Sir John Young, 2nd Baronet, G.C.B.,
G.C.M.G., a distinguished statesman and administrator, who was successively Chief Secretary for Ireland, Lord High
Commissioner of the Ionian Islands, Governor of New South Wales, and Governor-General of Canada, which latter
office he filled from 1868 to 1872. While in Canada he was raised to the peerage, as Baron Lisgar, November 2nd,
1870. (His Lordship died October 6th, 1876.) His widow married, secondly, August 3rd, 1878, Sir Francis Charles
Fortescue Turville, K.C.M.G., of Bosworth Hall, County Leicester, who had served on her first husband's staff (he
died December 20th, 1889); and thirdly, Henry Trueman Mills, Esquire, of Lubenham, Market Harborough. Her
Ladyship died at Paris, July 19th, 1895. Lady Lisgar was a handsome and affable woman, who for years led society
an its most brilliant phase, and made her social state resplendent by her social attributes. As mistress of The Lodge,
in Phoenix Park, no one ever excelled her in the art of rendering her salons the centre of the reunions of a brilliant city;
and the admiration which her entertaining qualities won through New South Wales was continued in Canada during
her stay in this country. The two chief social occurrences of her period were the visit of Prince Arthur (now Duke of
Connaught), who remained in Canada for ten months, and that of the Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia, both of which,
especially the former, were attended with unusual stir and festivity. Lord and Lady Lisgar accompanied His Royal
Highness Prince Arthur on his principal tour through the country, meeting him on his arrival at Halifax, August 22nd,
1869, where he became their guest. Balls and other entertainments, in honour of the young Prince, were given in all
the principal cities, the most beautiful and costly being the State ball, given by Parliament, at Ottawa, February 25th,
1870, at which Lady Lisgar danced, in the opening quadrille, with the Prince. According to the Montreal Gazette, this
was the finest ball ever given in Canada up to that time. Among her other accomplishments, Lady Lisgar sketched
beautifully, and while living here drew many pictures of Canadian scenery. Both she and her husband gave liberally
to all deserving objects. They visited all the provinces, and travelled extensively in the United States. In May,
1870, her Ladyship officiated in Montreal at the investiture of Colonels Smith, Fletcher, McEachren and Chamberlin
with the C.M.G., in recognition of their services during the Fenian raids. Among the guests at Government House
during her husband's term were, besides the personages already mentioned, and their suites, the Dowager Marchioness
of Angelsey, Viscount and Viscountess Wolseley, Miss Symes (Duchesse de Bassano), Sir John and Lady Rose, Sir
Henry and Lady Alice Havelock, Sir Charles and Lady Windham, Mrs. Alfred Seymour, Sir Hugh, Lady, and the
Misses Allan, Sir William and Lady Howland, General and Mrs. Earle, Sir Stafford and Lady Northcote (ist Lord

Kathleen Macfarlane, youngest daughter of the late Daniel Home Lizars,
Esquire, Judge of the County Court of the County of Perth, Ontario, and his
wife, Esther, fourth daughter of Captain John Longworth, who had served in
both the navy and the army of Great Britain, was born at Stratford, Ont., and
educated in Toronto and Scotland. Although she has written many unsigned
articles for newspapers and magazines, of a graceful and witty character, Miss
Lizars is known in a literary sense, chiefly, by two historical works, and a
novel, which have been the joint production of her sister (Mrs. Robert Smith)
and herself. These, respectively, are entitled : “In the Days of the Canada
Company,” “Humours of '37," and “ Committed to His Charge,” and have all
evoked favourable criticism both from the native and the foreign press. As
women writers, Mrs. Coleman (“Kit") places the Lizars sisters in the top
form,” while Professor Clark, of Trinity College, Toronto, has detected in their
novel much that reminds him of Jane Austen. Miss Lizars was for some years
Private Secretary to the late Hon. John Robson, when Premier of British Col-
umbia, and accompanied him to England on a public mission. She is now,
in collaboration with Mr. Henry J. Morgan, preparing a book on Canadian life
and character, for a London publishing house. Residence : “ The Minne-

From a miniature. Kindly furnished by her nephew, His Honour Judge Wedderburn, Hampton, N.B.
Mary, daughter of Thomas Heaviside, Esquire, of St. John, N.B., was born in that
city, and educated in England. She married, 1825, Major James Frederick Love, 52nd
Regiment, a distinguished officer, who had served in the expedition to Sweden, under
Sir John Moore, afterwards in Portugal and Spain, in the Peninsula, in the campaign in
Holland, at New Orleans and at Waterloo, where he received four severe wounds. After
his marriage he was British resident at Zante, and commanded a division in Canada
during the rebellion of 1837-8. Later he became Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey, com-
manded a camp at Shorncliffe, and was made Inspector-General of Infantry. He was
created a C.B., 1839, a K.C.B., in 1856, and attained Lieutenant-General's rank in 1857.
In 1858 his name was mentioned in connection with the Governor-Generalship of
Canada. He died January 13th, 1866, aged 77. Lady Love saw much of the world with
her husband, and having a great taste for music and drawing, received tuition in these
branches from the best masters. In an article taking leave of the 73rd Regiment, which
her husband commanded in Canada, the Montreal Gazette, March 12th, 1841, regrets, on
behalf of the society of that city, the departure of Mrs. Love, who had endeared herself
to all by her amiable qualities and high accomplishments. “Those,” it continued, “who
have enjoyed the pleasure of examining her finely executed and numerous views of
various scenes in the Eastern Townships, and the upper parts of the Province, will unite
with us in the hope that the fair artist may consent to their being published, when Mrs.
Love's taste and genius will be made as manifest to the world as her kindly and graceful
manners have been appreciated, wherever she has resided in Canada.” Lady Love was
one of three sisters, the other sisters being Mrs. Willis, the wife of Archdeacon Willis, of
Nova Scotia, and Mrs. Wedderburn, the wife of Alexander Wedderburn, Esquire, of
St. John, N.B. She survived her husband and left no issue.

MISS LYMAN.
From a photograph by Notman, Montreal. Kindly furnished by her nephew, Henry L. Lyman,
Esquire, Montreal.
Miss Hannah Willard Lyman, a successful and inspiring teacher of youth, was born
at Old Northampton, Mass., in 1816, and died at Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where she was vice-
principal of Vassar College, February 21st, 1871. She commenced to teach at Gotham
Academy, Maine, and she subsequently taught in Mrs. Gray's Seminary for Young Ladies
at Petersburg, Virginia. For the next twenty-two years she conducted a seminary for
young ladies, in Montreal, which took the lead of all similar institutions in the Canadas.
Her natural gifts, amounting almost to a genius for her profession, were enriched by an
education of no ordinary range. She was a sister of Rev. Henry Lyman, a missionary,
who was murdered by the natives in Sumatra in 1832, and whose life she has written
(New York: 1857); also of the late Lieut.-Colonel Theodore Lyman, and the late Colonel
S. J. Lyman, of Montreal. The Rev. Dr. Campbell, in his “History of the St. Gabriel
Street Church, Montreal,” says that “the name of Miss Lyman is yet as ointment poured
forth in many hearts and homes, not only in Montreal, but all through Canada, for the
blessed influences which she exerted as an instructor of young ladies.” A memorial of
her is preserved in McGill University by the “Hannah Willard Lyman Fund," raised by
subscriptions from her former pupils, and invested as a permanent endowment to furnish
annually a scholarship or prizes in a college for women affiliated to the university, or in
classes for the higher education of women. Her remains were brought to Montreal and
laid in Mount Royal Cemetery.

MRS. THOMAS D'ARCY M'GEE.
From a photograph by Smeaton, Quebec. Kindly furnished by the late J. G. Moylan, Esquire, Ottawa.
Miss Mary Teresa Caffrey, a native of Dublin, Ireland, married, in that city, 1847,
Thomas D'Arcy McGee, author and journalist, who, on account of his participation in
the “Young Ireland” movement, was forced to leave his native land, in disguise, and
take refuge in America. In 1850, after he had made a home for his wife at Boston,
Mass., she joined him there, and they continued to live in the United States up to 1857,
when Mr. McGee removed to Canada, where he was elected to Parliament, and became,
in 1862, a member of the Government. After a career of much usefulness and great
distinction, he was assassinated, in Ottawa, by a member of the Fenian Brotherhood,
April 7th, 1868. Mrs. McGee bore her husband five children, three of whom died in
infancy; the remaining two, both girls, now live at Santa Clare, Cal., one, Euphrasia,
being the wife of Mr. Quinn, an advocate. After her husband's tragic death, Queen
Victoria sent Mrs. McGee an autograph letter expressive of her sympathy and condol-
ence, and stating how highly she had appreciated his services in the cause of Imperial
authority in the land of his adoption. The Duke of Buckingham, then Colonial Secretary,
wrote at the same time to Lord Monck, the Governor-General, conveying the regrets
of Her Majesty's ministers that so able a statesman and so good a citizen should have
fallen a victim to a Fenian bullet. A state funeral was accorded Mr. McGee's remains,
and Parliament voted a pension to his widow and children. A testimonial fund was also
subscribed by the people. Mrs. McGee died suddenly, in Montreal, January 17th, 1871,
aged 46, while on her knees at prayer, her end being hastened by the sad trials which she
had undergone. She is described by the late Mrs. Sadlier, the novelist, as “a woman of
much force of character who was fitted to shine in society by her brilliant conversation
and fine wit. She was devoted to her husband, admired his talents, and was altogether
a true helpmeet. He was equally devoted to her, respected her sterling qualities of head
and heart, and was often guided by her wonderful perception of character.” Several
of Mr. McGee's poems are addressed to his wife.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE BARONESS MACDONALD OF
EARNSCLIFFE.
From a photograph by Topley, Ottawa.
Sarah Agnes, Baroness Macdonald of Earnscliffe, is the daughter of the late Hon. T. J. Bernard, a member of the
Privy Council, Island of Jamaica, and his wife, Theodora Foulks. Born in Jamaica, August 24th, 1836, she was
educated in England, and came first to Canada in 1854, two of her brothers
in Ontario. Here she met Sir John Alexander Macdonald, a distinguished Canadian statesman, to whom she was
married in London, England, February 16th, 1867, she being his second wife. Returning to Canada with her husband,
Lady Macdonald continued to live in the Dominion until after his death, which occurred June 6th, 1891, when she
removed to England. “The part that Lady Macdonald played in her husband's life,” says a writer in the Ladies'
Home Journal, in 1891, “is not to be set forth in a few words. All that Lady Beaconsfield was to the Conservative
Premier of England, Lady Macdonald has been, and is, to the Conservative Premier of Canada. If any one on earth
knows his mind, it is she. Their understanding of each other is complete, and their matrimonial felicity unruffled.
How much Canada owes to Lady Macdonald for the help she has given her greatest statesman only the Premier
himself can fitly estimate.” On her husband's death, her late Majesty Queen Victoria, to whom Lady Macdonald
had been presented in 1867, sent her an autograph letter expressive of her sympathy, and was further' graciously
pleased, in recognition of Sir John Macdonald's eminent public services, to raise his widow to the peerage, by the
name, style and title of Baroness Macdonald of Earnscliffe, in the Province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada.
While in Canada, her Ladys hip found time to co-operate in many religious and philanthropic enterprises; and, in
1887, headed a movement for the establishment of an Art Museum and Industrial College, as a memorial of Queen
Victoria. She also wrote many interesting articles for the English press on Canada and her resources. In 1902 she
was present in Westminster Abbey at the Coronation of the King and Queen. In the same year she took charge, with
Lady Strathcona, of the Canadian stall at the Imperial Coronation Bazaar. Some years ago she disposed of
* Earnscliffe,” the property at Ottawa from which she takes her title, and now resides permanently in England. She
is the mother of one child, the Honourable Mary Theodora Margaret Macdonald, born at Ottawa in 1869. One who
was intimately associated with Lady Macdonald in Canada describes her as a woman of remarkable individuality,
rare gifts and striking personality, who charmed every one by her vivac as well as by her intellectual powers.

in that city. She married, April 23rd, 1883, as his second wife, Hugh John
Macdonald, Esquire, K.C., only surviving son of the late Right Honourable
Sir John Alexander Macdonald, G.C.B., Prime Minister of Canada, and his
first wife, Isabella, daughter of Alexander Clark, of Dalnavert. Her husband
subsequently entered public life, was sworn of the Privy Council, 1896, and
became afterwards Premier of Manitoba, but has now retired from active
participation in politics. Mrs. Macdonald is a member of an old and distin-
guished Loyalist family. She was a leading spirit in the movement for
presenting a wedding gift to the Prince and Princess of Wales, and also in
starting a war fund for the soldiers in South Africa. “As a social leader," says

in the salon.” Residence: Winnipeg, Manitoba.

a well-known public man, who was Postmaster-General in the Mackenzie
Administration at Ottawa, 1873-75, and Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario,
1875-80, by his second wife, Catherine Ida, second daughter of the Hon.
Alexander Fraser of Fraserfield, was born at Alexandria, Ont., and educated
in Montreal. Owing to the early death of her mother, Miss Macdonald had
household cares thrust upon her at a tender age. While her father remained
in public life, these duties were of a much more onerous character than they
had previously been, yet she acquitted herself with ability and discretion on all
occasions, even when, as the first lady of her native Province, she had among
her guests, at Government House, Royalty itself, in the person of Her Royal
Highness the Princess Louise. She and her father had also entertained the
Earl and Countess of Dufferin, and other notable personages. The citizens'
ball given in Toronto, in October, 1879, on the occasion of the visit to
that city of the Marquis of Lorne and his Royal Consort, was opened by the
Governor-General with Miss Macdonald, her father dancing, in the same set,
with the Princess Louise. Residence: “The Sherbrooke," Montreal.

William Macdougall, C.B., P.C., a distinguished Canadian statesman, and is

the continent of Europe in 1893, remaining abroad for some years. In 1878
Mr. Macdougall returned to public life, and since then she has resided with

much interested in various benevolent and philanthropic movements, par-
ticularly the Ottawa Humane Society, with which she has had an official
connection. Like her sisters, Mrs. C. A. E. Harriss, of "Earnscliffe" (9.v.),
Mrs. Desire Girouard (9.v.), Mrs. John Daintry, and Mrs. Charles Ryerson,

in all circles. It was to her that the late Nicholas Flood Davin once
applied the words used by Sir Richard Steele, in reference to Lady Elizabeth
Hastings : “Though her mien carries much more invitation than command,
to behold her is an immediate check to loose behaviour ; to love her is a liberal
education.” Residence : 407 Wilbrod Street, Ottawa.

From a photograph by Topley, Ottawa. Kindly furnished by William Buckingham, Esquire, Stratford, Ont.
Jane, eldest daughter of Robert Sym, Esquire, of Perthshire, Scotland, was born
March 22nd, 1825. She married, as his second wife, June 17th, 1853, Alexander Mac-
kenzie, Esquire, of Sarnia, Ont., who afterwards entered Parliament, and as leader of the
Liberal party became Prime Minister of Canada, in November, 1873, a position he held
till September, 1878. Mrs. Mackenzie twice accompanied her husband to Britain, on
the first occasion while he was Prime Minister, and she was, at that time, presented with
him to Queen Victoria. After her husband's death, in April, 1892, she declined a state
pension, and also a money testimonial which was raised by Hon. S. H. Blake, the late
Senator A. T. Wood, and Senator Mackay, of Montreal. The money so subscribed was
then applied towards the endowment of the Mackenzie scholarships in Political Science,
in Toronto and McGill Universities. A memorial of Mrs. Mackenzie exists in the
Grenville canal, in the form of a coping stone, which was laid by her in 1874. She died
in Toronto, March 30th, 1893, and was buried, alongside the remains of her husband,
in Lakeview Cemetery, Sarnia. Mr. William Buckingham, one of her husband's bio-
graphers, writes of her: “While at Ottawa Mrs. Mackenzie had to play a chief rôle in
a brilliant circle. It was what may be called the renaissance period of our social life, and
the Court she graced was in point of munificence and splendour unexampled in the
history of the Dominion. In that supreme moment she showed how well she merited
her husband's confidence and love--how nobly she was qualified to help and support him
in every phase of his varying life. She was not dazzled by the light, but took her place,
as he had taken his, with a quiet dignity and kindliness, frankness and charm of manner
which disarmed criticism and conquered every heart.”

MRS. WILLIAM LYON MACKENZIE.
From an oil painting executed not long after her marriage. Kindly furnished by her son-in-law,
John King, Esquire, K.C., Toronto.
Isabel, second daughter of Peter Baxter, Esquire, was born in Dundee, Scotland, July, 1802, and coming to
Canada, in 1822, was married, in Montreal, on the ist of July of the same year, to William Lyon Mackenzie, Esquire,
then of the firm of Mackenzie & Lesslie, Dundas, U.C. Of this union the issue was thirteen children, three sons and
ten daughters, of whom five died in infancy, and only two survive, namely, Janet, the wife of Charles Lindsey,
Esquire, City Registrar, Toronto, and Isabel Grace, the wife of John King, Esquire, K.C., Toronto. · Mrs. Mackenzie
possessed a high degree of intelligence and a thorough knowledge of the political history of the time, and was in some
respects quite as remarkable a personality as her husband, whose fortunes she shared for nearly forty years with patient
fortitude and unwearied devotion. She had many domestic virtues, and a gentleness of disposition and fine womanly
courage which were fully tested during her husband's stormy career. She accompanied him to England in 1832, and
while there was the guest with him of Joseph Hume, M.P., a distinguished Liberal statesman. At the time of the rebel-
lion of 1837-8, in which Mr. Mackenzie bore so conspicuous a part, she and her young family were exposed to imminent
dangers in their Toronto home. Afterwards she joined her husband, and was the only female who was present on
Navy Island with the insurgent forces. She arrived there shortly before the destruction of the steamer Caroline, and
remained with her husband as long as her health permitted, making with her own hands the cartridges for the men,
and by her fearlessness inspiring with courage the undisciplined force who were holding the island. A natural refine-
ment of manner, as well as of face and feature, and a gentle, placid nature were characteristic qualities of this lady.
After the return of her husband from exile, in 1849, the family lived continuously in Toronto, in the homestead in Bond
Street, which had been presented to Mr. Mackenzie by his friends and admirers. Mr. Mackenzie died there, August
28th, 1861, and his devoted wife twelve years afterwards, on January 12th, 1873. Both were buried in the family plot
in the Necropolis, in that city. In 1868 the Ontario Legislature voted Mrs. Mackenzie $4,000, in payment of a debt
due to her late husband by the old Province of Upper Canada.

place in the history of Manitoba, is a daughter of the late Augustus Mackenney, Esquire, and was born and educated
at Amherstburg, Ont. She first went to Manitoba in 1862—the year of the Sioux massacre in Minnesota--and as the
route followed by the party with whom she was (composed of her parents and others), lay through a portion of the
scene of the outbreak, their experiences were sometimes of a trying and eventful character. Her father, who was
engaged in the fur trade, after a few years, owing to failing health, returned to Canada with his family, but his
daughter came back to the settlement in 1868, with her uncle and aunt, Sir John and Lady Schultz, and in September
of the same year, was married, in Winnipeg, to Charles Mair, Esquire, then an officer employed by the Canadian
Government. On returning from their wedding journey to St. Paul, they accompanied Mr. Macdougall, the newly-
appointed Governor of Manitoba, and party, to Pembina, where the latter was stopped by order of the insurgent
chief, Riel, who had just previously assumed the direction of affairs at Fort Garry. Mr. and Mrs. Mair, however,
determining to proceed, were stopped at St. Norbert, where they were taken prisoner under the same authority.
After four days' detention they were released, and, arriving at Fort Garry, found it in possession of the rebels. Great
trouble followed, until Mrs. Mair and the present Lady Schultz were taken prisoners, with their husbands and the
rest of the loyal band of Canadians who were gathered at the Schultz mansion for self-protection and to oppose,
however feebly, the plans and purposes of the insurgents, composed of half-breeds and Irish-Yankee Fenians. Impris-
oned in Fort Garry, Mrs. Mair found herself within the walls, separated from her husband, and on attempting to leave
her place of confinement was brought back, by order of Riel. During the weeks that followed, she was only twice
allowed to see her husband, who, on the last of these occasions, informed her that Riel had intimated to him that he was
to be shot, and that as he intended, if possible, to escape, she should make another effort to get away, as, otherwise, in
the event of his success, she might be detained as a hostage. With the assistance of a friend (Miss Drever), Mrs. Mair
was allowed to leave, and took up her quarters in the settlement. Some weeks afterwards her husband escaped and
reached Portage la Prairie, where his wife, who had run the gauntlet of the guards, disguised as a man, in a half-breed
capote, cap and sash, joined him. The expedition organized by the loyalists at the Portage for the capture of Fort
Garry and the release of the prisoners confined there, followed, and after its collapse Mr. Mair and Sir John Schultz
escaped to Canada, taking different routes. It was then mid-winter, and their journey was made on snow-shoes. After
the former's departure, the rebels made search for him at the Portage, and not finding him, determined to take his wife
back with them, but this scheme was happily frustrated through the astuteness of another lady, Mrs. George. In March
following she returned, herself, to Fort Garry, to make search for some papers belonging to her husband, and arrived
there the very day Thomas Scott, the loyalist, was so barbarously murdered by Riel. While still there her eldest
daughter, Maude Louise (now the w
waude Louise (now the wife of B. E. Crichton, Esquire, of Brynmawr Ranch, Okanagan Valley, B.C.),
was born, she being the first child of British Canadian parentage to be born at Red River, after the passing of the
Manitoba Act. Mrs. Mair's life has since been largely spent in the Saskatchewan territory and in British Columbia,
and she is rightly to be called one of the pioneers of Western Canada. She is the mother of seven children, four of
whom survive. Her only son saw service in South Africa during the recent war. She is now preparing, for early
publication, her experiences of primitive life in the old Red River Settlement. Residence: Winnipeg, Manitoba.

LADY SARAH MAITLAND.
From a miniature by Mrs. Ince. Kindly furnished by Lady Sarah Maitland's daughter,
Mrs. Forster, “The Elms," Tongham, Surrey, England.
The Lady Sarah Lennox, second daughter of Charles, 4th Duke of Richmond and
Lennox, K.G., who was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, 1807-13, and Governor-General of
Canada, 1818-19 (and died in Canada), and his wife, Charlotte, daughter of Alexander,
4th Duke of Gordon, married, as his second wife, October 9th, 1815, Colonel Sir Peregrine
Maitland, K.C.B., a distinguished soldier, who became Lieutenant-Governor of Upper
Canada, January, 1818, and Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, August, 1828, returning
to England in 1832. He was afterwards, successively, Commander-in-Chief of Madras,
and Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Cape of Good Hope. At his death, in
London, May 30th, 1854, he was a full General and a G.C.B. - It is related that Sir
Peregrine and Lady Maitland first met at the ball given by her mother, at Brussels, on
the eve of Waterloo—a ball which Lord Byron commemorates in “Childe Harold," and
which is frequently mentioned in history. Proposals of marriage followed, and were
favourably received by her Ladyship. “But,” according to Mr. D. B. Read, "the Duke
objected, and flatly refused his consent," on account of Maitland's inferiority of rank.
“Subsequently," continues Mr. Read, “while her father was resident in Paris, during its
occupation by the allied armies after Waterloo, she one day deserted the parental roof,
repaired to the brave officer's quarters, captured her soldier, and married him without
her father's consent."* While in Upper Canada the Maitlands lived for some years
at Stamford. Lady Sarah was known in society as “The lovely Lennox." They
had a numerous family, and at least six of their children were born in this country. One
daughter married Lord Francis Kerr, and another daughter the Rev. Sir Thomas Eardley
Wilmot Blomefield, Bart. Her Ladyship died September 8th, 1873.

MISS MATHER.
From a photograph by Baker, Columbus, Ohio.
Margaret, daughter of John Finlayson, and known on the stage as Margaret
Mather, was born at Tilbury, Ont., October 21st, 1860. Her parents, who were
very poor, removed to Detroit, Mich., when she was a little girl, and up to her
fourteenth year she sold newspapers in the streets of that city. In despair, one
night, she attempted suicide by throwing herself into the river. Being rescued,
she was placed in a position to cultivate her great natural gifts for the stage.
Her studies included Shakespeare, and under the elocutionist, George Edgar,
she developed extraordinary power, and made her professional début in her
favourite rôle of Juliet at McVicar's Theatre, Chicago, August, 1882. She met
with immediate success, and, with each succeeding year, her popularity con-
tinued to grow, especially as Juliet, which she had played oftener than any actress
on the American stage. Her repertoire, besides Shakespeare, included Sheridan
Knowles, Lytton and Tobin, but she was constantly adding new attractions to
her list. In 1897 she eclipsed all her previous efforts, in the production of
“Cymbeline," at a cost of $40,000, she playing the rôle of Imogen. She had
previously purchased from Gounod the original manuscript of the oratorio of
"Jeanne d Arc.” Miss Mather, who was exceptionally beautiful in person, was
twice married, her second husband, from whom she was divorced, in 1897,
being Gustav Pabst, of Milwaukee. Her death occurred, suddenly, at
Charleston, West Virginia, April 7th, 1898, she having experienced a nervous
collapse while acting on the stage. She was buried in Elmwood Cemetery,
Detroit, wearing in death the costume of Juliet.

THE TOMB OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL AND MRS. MATHEWS.
From a photograph taken expressly for this work by E. A. Duffy, Esquire,
London, England.
Mary, daughter of Mr. James Simpson, who had served as a volunteer with Fraser's Highlanders at
the siege of Louisbourg, was born in Quebec, about 1760, and received her education in that city. A girl
of marvellous beauty, it was she whose personal and mental charms led to a proposal of marriage from
the immortal Nelson, in 1782, he being then in Quebec, in command of the Albemarle. They met in
Quebec society, more particularly under the hospitable roof of Nelson's mercantile friend, Alexander
Davison, and, probably, before Nelson's departure, at the house of her father. Whether or not Nelson's
attentions were favoured by her parents nowhere appears on record; but it is certain that he made an
impression on the heart and feelings of the young lady. That Nelson was thoroughly in earnest in the
matter is evidenced by the incident recorded in Clarke and McArthur's life of the hero: “When the
Albemarle, on the 14th of Oc
ready for sea, Captain Nelson had taken his leave, and had gone
down the river to the place where the men-of-war usually anchored; but the next morning, as Mr.
avison was walking on the beach, he saw Nelson coming back in his boat. On his reaching the landing.
place the former anxiously demanded the cause that occasioned his friend's return. 'Walk up to your
house,' replied Nelson, and you shall be made acquainted with the cause. He then said, I find it
utterly impossible to leave this place without again waiting on her whose society has so much added to
its charms, and laying myself and my fortunes at her feet.' Mr. Davison earnestly remonstrated with
him on the consequences of so rash a step. Your utter ruin,' said he, situated as you are at present,
must inevitably follow.' Then let it follow,' exclaimed Nelson, for I am resolved to do it.” The
account goes on to state that a severe altercation ensued, but that Mr. Davison's firmness at length
prevailed with Nelson, who, with no very good grace, relinquished his purpose, and suffered himself to be
led back to his boat. Miss Simpson afterwards married, in England, Lieut.-Col. Robert Mathews, whom
she had met at Quebec, first, when he was Major of the 53rd Regiment, and afterwards, when he was Mili-
tary Secretary to Lord Dorchester. He was appointed Major of Chelsea Hospital, October 6th, 1801, and
held that post till his death, July 5th, 1814, aged 69. His widow survived him, and died October 26th,
1840, aged 80. Both are buried in the cemetery attached to the hospital, under three tiers of stone, as
represented in the above picture. Mrs. Mathews was in London during Nelson's funeral, in 1806, “but
had not fortitude," as she wrote to a friend, “to witness the melancholy sight.”

ruary, 1870, Lieut.-Col. Frederick Middleton, 29th Regiment, a distinguished
officer, who, shortly afterwards, became Commandant of the Royal Military
College at Sandhurst. In 1884 he was placed in command of the Canadian

Marquis of Lansdowne, then Governor-General of the Dominion. She remained in Canada till 1886, when she
ship, she again came to Canada, accompanied by her children, and took up her residence at Rideau Hall, the local
Government House. There, in September, 1901, she, with the Governor-General, had the honour of receiving and
entertaining the present Prince and Princess of Wales. She also accompanied the illustrious visitors on their
journey across the continent to British Columbia, a journey she had previously taken, with the Governor-General,
when they went to the Klondike. Throughout her sojourn in the Dominion Lady Minto has shown much activity
and energy in out-door sports, especially skating, to the cultivation of which art, together with the entertainment of
visitors, foreign and domestic, both her husband and herself have devoted unlimited attention. Her Ladyship has
also given time and thought to various schemes and works of a useful and benevolent character. Through her
instrumentality, a wing, known as the Minto Wing, was added to the Maternity Hospital at Ottawa. She also
instituted a fund, to which she subscribed liberally, for the erection of cottage hospitals in remote districts, and another
fund for the location, protection and decoration of the graves of Canadians who had fallen in the service of the
Empire in South Africa during the recent war. Her name will be especially remembered at Ottawa for aiding in a

Anne, second daughter of William Molson, Esquire, an enterprising citizen of
Montreal, who founded Molson's Bank, and whose benefactions to McGill University
were, during his lifetime, second only to those of its founder, and his wife, Elizabeth
Badgley, was married in Montreal, June, 1845, to John Molson, Esquire, eldest son of
the Hon. John Molson, of the same city, and had five children, of whom John William
Molson and William Alexander Molson, M.D., survive. Like her father, Mrs. Molson
was much interested in the advancement of learning and education, and, in 1864, founded
in McGill University the “Anne Molson Gold Medal” for an honour course in Mathe-
matics and Physics. At a later period she headed a movement for the higher education
of women, and in connection therewith was elected the first President of the Ladies'
Educational Association. She was also honorary President of the Society of Decorative
Art, and taking a warm interest in Montreal charities, was officially connected with the
“Maternity,” the Ladies' Benevolent Society and various other bodies. She died
January 3rd, 1899, universally regretted. One who knew her well writes of her : “Mrs.
Molson was possessed of much dignity and courtesy of manner, a grace and gentleness
which endeared her to many, and all who sought her in trouble felt sure her powers were
freely at their service." She was a sister of the late Lady Macpherson, Toronto (9.v.).

Susanna, sixth daughter of Thomas Strickland, Esquire, of Reydon Hall, Suffolk,
England, was born there, December 6th, 1803. She was a sister of Miss Agnes Strick-
land, authoress of the “Queens of England," and of Mrs. C. P. Traill (9.v.), and, like
them, gave herself early to literature. Her first productions were poems and tales for
children. In 1829 she published a volume, “Enthusiasm and Other Poems.” After her
marriage, in 1831, to Lieut. J. W. D. Moodie, of the 21st Fusiliers, then on half-pay, she
emigrated with him to Canada, settling first at Cobourg, Ont., and afterwards to the
north of Peterborough. The hardships they experienced are graphically described by
her in her work, “Roughing it in the Bush," published originally in the Literary Garland,
and afterwards in book form in London. This was the most ambitious of her works,
and the most successful. It was very popular and ran through several editions. Among
her subsequent books were: “Life in the Clearings," “Flora Lindsay,” “Mark Hurdleston,"
“The World before Them,” “Matrimonial Speculations,” and “Dorothy Chance.” Mrs.
Moodie contributed to many Canadian periodicals, including Belford's Magazine, the
latter in the seventies. Her husband became Sheriff of Hastings, and died in 1869.
She died in Toronto, April 8th, 1885, and was buried at Belleville beside the remains
of her husband. Mrs. Agnes Chamberlin (q.v.) and Mrs. J. J. Vickers, Toronto, are

Mary Hope Morgan is the eldest surviving daughter of His Honour Judge Morgan,
of Toronto, and his wife, Clara Matilda Hope, fourth daughter of the late D’Alton
McCarthy, Esquire, of Barrie, Ont. Born in Toronto, she early displayed remarkable
vocal talent, and was placed at Loretto Abbey, in that city, for instruction. Thence she
went to Paris, and became a favourite pupil of Madame Marchesi, who predicted a
brilliant future for her. Galignani, at this time, said that she showed more dramatic
intelligence and originality than any of the other pupils of the gifted instructress.
Another critic said that she was “not only a consummate singer but a consummate
actress.” On the completion of her course, Miss Morgan proceeded to London, where
she was most successful in concert work, and received many engagements. Her real
début as an opera singer was made at Naples, in the great soprano rôle of Marguerite,
in "Faust.” This was followed by a similar success at Brussels. Since then, when her
health has permitted, she has appeared at concert recitals in London and elsewhere,
and, in September, 1900, she opened the concert season in Toronto, at Massey Hall.
She has frequently sung before Royalty. St. Paul's says that her voice, clear as a bell,
is of a marvellously sympathetic quality, and that her singing appeals and fascinates.

Miss Mary Morgan, a well-known authoress and poet, is the daughter of the late
James Morgan, Esquire, of the firm of Henry Morgan & Co., Montreal, and, as her father
was, is a native of Scotland. Educated in Montreal, she intended originally to study
medicine, but was thwarted in her design by the inability of McGill University at that
time to receive women students. As the result of an agitation commenced by her, this
disability was afterwards removed. Miss Morgan has since devoted herself entirely to
literature. She was a frequent contributor to the Week and the Open Court, writing
under the nom-de-plume of “Gowan Lea.” Some of her poems have appeared in
“America's Younger Poets.” Among her books are : “Woodnotes in the Gloaming,"
“Sonnets in Switzerland,” “Poems and Translations,” “Marguerites,” and “Echoes from
the Solitudes.” The last-named is placed by Mrs. Coleman (“Kit") alongside of Thomas
à Kempis and Marcus Aurelius as a book for thought and meditation. Miss Morgan now
lives much abroad, and she has been presented at several European courts. Address :

From a photograph by Aimé Dupont, New York.
Clara Morris, who has been described by Henry G. Watterson as “the greatest
emotional actress of her time,” was born in Toronto, March 17th, 1849, being the
daughter of a French Canadian father and an Irish mother. After three months she
was taken by her mother to Cleveland, where she remained during early girlhood. In
1861 she entered the profession in which she was destined to achieve such great dis-
tinction, as a member of the ballet. Her advancement was so rapid that, in 1869, she
had become leading lady at Wood's Theatre, Cincinnati. She became a member of
Augustin Daly's 5th Avenue Company, New York, in 1870. Here she laid the foundation
of her reputation as one of the most able and talented actresses on the American stage,
especially in emotional rôles like “ Camille, “Alixe," "Miss Multon,” “Mercy Merrick,"
and “Cora.” She travelled extensively, and was for many years a “star” of the first
magnitude. Of late, in addition to publishing her autobiography and other works, she
has contributed many interesting articles to the magazines. Owing to ill-health Miss
Morris has recently been compelled, much to the public regret, to retire from the stage,
for the time being. In April, 1903, a grand testimonial benefit, under the management
of Miss Amelia Bingham, was given to Miss Morris, at the Broadway Theatre, New
York, which realized over $6,000. On this occasion Sarah Bernhardt cabled a beautiful
tribute to the genius and worth of our gifted countrywoman. Residence : “ The Pines,"

by Barton Hill, Esquire, the Players' Club, New York.
Charlotte, eldest daughter of the late Major John Nickinson, of Toronto, and his
wife, Ann Talbot, was one of several clever and accomplished sisters, who all distin-
guished themselves upon the stage. Born in Quebec, 1832, she early evinced dramatic
talent of the highest order. Her father, who was also an eminent actor, leased a theatre
in Toronto, in 1852, and it was probably in that city that Miss Nickinson made her début.
In the same year she played with her father in Quebec for sixty nights, taking the ancient
capital by storm. She was called “La Jeune Quebecoise," and was nightly called before
the curtain by delighted audiences. “The more we see of her," said the Mercury, “the
more cause do we perceive for Quebec's being proud of her daughter.” Her repertoire,
which was subsequently much enlarged, included Ophelia, Lady Gay Spanker, Lady Teazle,
Kate Kearney, Melanie (in which she is represented in the print from which the above
picture is taken), and Nan the Good-for-Nothing. Returning west, her father became the
lessee of the Royal Lyceum Theatre at Toronto, and at that house she was the leading
lady, playing all the Shakespearean rôles, with other characters, up to the period of her
retirement from the stage, on her marriage with Mr. Daniel Morrison, an eminent jour-
nalist, in April, 1858. She returned to the stage, under contract with Mr. J. W. Buckland,
of Montreal, 1864. After her husband's death, in April, 1870, she assumed the manage-
ment of the Grand Opera House, in Toronto, then newly built by a company, and main-
tained her old reputation as a talented and sterling actress for several seasons. One of the
incidents of her management was the performance of the “School for Scandal” in 1877,
a hundred years after its first performance in London, the play being produced under the
patronage of Lord Dufferin, whose mother was a Sheridan. Mrs. Morrison now lives in
retirement in Toronto with her two daughters, and devotes much of her leisure to charitable
and church work. She was a prominent member of the National Council of Women,
formed by the Countess of Aberdeen when in Canada, and subsequently filled, for some
years, the office of President of the Toronto Relief Society. No resident of the “ Queen
City” is more highly respected. Residence: 90 St. Joseph Street, Toronto.

eldest son of Charles Joseph Kelly, 3rd Viscount Monck (peerage of Ireland),
whom he succeeded as 4th Viscount, 1849. He was appointed Governor-
General of Canada, 1861, and became, in 1867, the first Governor-General of
the Dominion. For his services in connection with the Confederation of
British North America he was created a Baron of the United Kingdom, was
sworn of the Privy Council, and was appointed a G.C.M.G. Lady Monck
came with her husband to Canada, accompanied by her two sons and two
daughters, but did not remain throughout his term of office. She resided at
“Spencerwood,” Quebec, during most of her stay. Her Ladyship became very
unpopular with the ladies of Canada, in consequence of her exacting methods
touching court dress, and for other reasons. She is frequently mentioned in
the “ Journal” of her sister-in-law, the Hon. Mrs. Richard Monck. She died

and accompanied him to Montreal, where he was long engaged in banking
and commerce, becoming ultimately President of the Bank of Montreal.
Jointly with Hon. D. A. Smith (now Lord Strathcona), he built the Canadian
Pacific Railway, and in recognition of this service was created a baronet in
1886, and was raised to the peerage in 1891. While living in Canada Lady
Mountstephen nursed the late Duke of Albany through a serious illness, for
which she received the thanks of Queen Victoria, accompanied by an oil
portrait of Her Majesty. After removing to England, Her Majesty became the
guest of Lord and Lady Mountstephen, at their seat, Brocket Hall. The
Duchess of Albany, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess
of Connaught, the late Duchess of Teck, and many other eminent personages,
were also their guests at that place. Lady Mountstephen was first presented

Jane, second daughter of John Ewart, Esquire, of Toronto, was born March 5th,
1824. She married, in 1846, Oliver Mowat, Esquire, then a young member of the local
bar. He subsequently entered public life, in which he greatly distinguished himself,
becoming successively a Vice-Chancellor of Ontario ; Prime Minister of that Province;
then a Privy Councillor and Leader of the Senate of Canada ; and finally Lieutenant-
Governor of Ontario. He was created a K.C.M.G. in 1892, and a G.C.M.G. in 1897.
Lady Mowat died in Toronto, after a long and distressing illness, March 14th, 1893, and
was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery there, her funeral being one of the largest ever
witnessed in Toronto. Her husband died in the same city, April 19th, 1903, and was
interred beside the remains of his wife. One who knew her well thus wrote of Lady
Mowat : “Ill health rendered necessary her withdrawal in a great measure, or alto-
gether, from society for some years before death, and in consequence she slipped out of
public acquaintance and recollection. She was uncommonly intellectual and highly
cultured, was distinguished by exceeding kindness of heart, was social in her tastes, and
remarkable for dignity and grace of manner as well as for personal beauty. As a wife
and mother, as well as otherwise, she was a wise counsellor, a delightful companion and
a valuable friend. She was justly held in very high esteem by all who had an opportunity
of knowing her.” She was one of the chief originators and the first President of the
Toronto Ladies' Educational Association. Five of her children survive, namely, Mr.
Sheriff Mowat, Mr. Arthur Mowat, Mrs. C. R. W. Biggar, Mrs. Thomas Langton, and
Miss Mowat (9.v.).

benevolent undertakings, the institutions and bodies with which she has been officially connected being
the Infants' Home, the Convalescent Home, the Ladies' Work Depository, the Working Boys' Home and

work, in the line of such organizations as the old Imperial Federation League, of which she was a
member, the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire, of which she is local President, and the
Ladies' Branch of the Red Cross Society, of which she is also the local President. Her labours in connection
with these bodies have been unceasing, and have borne splendid results. In the event of an order being
instituted by Royalty for the decoration of Colonial women, Mrs. Nordheimer should be one of the first

TABLET IN EXETER CATHEDRAL, ENGLAND, ERECTED TO THE
MEMORY OF MRS. E. J. O'BRIEN.
Copied expressly for this work by Mr. T. J. Templeman, Castle House, Exeter.
The tablet above represented bears the following inscription : “Sacred to the
memory of Rachel Charlotte O'Brien, wife of Captain E. J. O'Brien, of His
Majesty's 24th Regiment, and daughter of Jos. Frobisher, Esq., of Montreal.
Her death was occasioned by her clothes catching fire ; seeing the flames com-
municating to her infant, all regard to her own safety was lost in the more
powerful consideration of saving her child, and rushing out of the room she
preserved its life at the sacrifice of her own. She expired on the 13th December,
1800, in the nineteenth year of her age.” Underneath this on a white marble
tablet are the following lines :
“If sense, good humour, and a taste refined,
With all that ever graced a female mind;
If the fond mother and the faithful wife,
The purest, happiest characters in life;
If these, when summon'd to an early tomb,
Cloth'd in the pride of youth, and beauty's bloom,
May claim one tender, sympathising sigh,
Or draw a tear from pity's melting eye,
Here pause--and be the faithful tribute paid,
In sad remembrance of O'Brien's shade.'
Mrs. O'Brien, according to Colonel Landmann, R.E., was the only daughter of
Joseph Frobisher, one of the founders of the North-West Fur Company, and a
distinguished citizen of Montreal. He married, in January, 1779, Miss Charlotte
Jaubert, of that city. His eldest son, B. J. Frobisher, married, February 6th,
1804, a niece of the Right Honourable Sir William Grant, Master of the Rolls.
Mrs. O'Brien is stated to have been a most beautiful girl. The child for whom
she died, named after his father, became an officer in the 25th Regiment, and
died, August, 1833, aged 35. Her husband became a Major-General in 1830,
and was still living in 1854.

From a recent photograph. Kindly furnished by her father.
Amy, daughter of C. P. Parkinson, Esquire, of Toronto, was born in Liver-
pool, England, and came to Canada with her parents in childhood. According
to Dr. Rand, her formal education ceased when she was twelve years of age,
her health failing her. For twelve years she has not risen from her bed,
Previous to that time she gave no promise of poetic talent, and its possession,
even in a slight degree, was scarcely suspected by her parents. Nevertheless,
she has composed many beautiful pieces, by which she has earned for herself
the title of “The Canadian Havergal.” Among her published booklets of verse
are “Love through All," "A Voice from a Sick-room,” “In His Keeping,"
and “Best.” Her poems are dictated to her father, and it is noteworthy that
her mind is specially vigorous in composition as she is passing into or recover-
ing from the severe attacks which seize her, any one of which might prove
fatal. According to N. F. Caswell, she has no superior among Canadian poets,
either past or present, in the special line to which she devotes herself.

Lundy's Lane, and in 1903 she painted a successful portrait of the late Chief
Justice Sir M. C. Cameron, for the Legislative Buildings, Toronto. Residence :

M.E.C., M.L.C., of Montreal, was born in London, England, but spent her
childhood and early girlhood in Canada. Educated for the stage, she made
her first appearance in the eighties, in a small part, at the Court Theatre,
London, from which she was soon promoted to heroines parts. Passing to the
Adelphi Theatre, she made a great success of the part of Priscilla in Robert
Buchanan's “God and the Man." Miss Prentice then went into management,
and produced her own adaptation of Von Moser's “Ultimo," called “On
Change,” which ran for 288 consecutive performances, and has been played all
over the provinces, on and off, for the past ten years. She was said to be the
first and the youngest woman to manage a theatre and at the same time act in
a play adapted by herself. She also adapted and acted “Jess," and produced

her own company, Miss Prentice was compelled to seek a rest, owing to a
temporary nervous attack, and she has since devoted herself to writing.

MRS. PETER REDPATH.
From a photograph by Notman, Montreal.
Grace, daughter of William Wood, Esquire, merchant and philanthropist, of Man-
chester, was born at Bowdon, Cheshire, England. Educated privately, she was brought
up in an atmosphere of sympathy, good-will and toleration. She married, October 16th,
1847, Peter Redpath, Esquire, of Montreal, son of John Redpath, the founder of a
well-known sugar refinery, in that city, and from that time, up to her return to England,
with her husband, in the seventies, was almost a continuous resident of Montreal. A
wealthy, widely travelled and accomplished man, Mr. Redpath became President of the
Board of Trade and of the Montreal Art Association, but he is best remembered for his
noble benefactions to McGill University, consisting principally of the endowment of the
Peter Redpath chair of pure Mathematics ; the erection of the Peter Redpath Museum ;
the erection of the University Library Building; and of large contributions, in money
and books, towards the maintenance and increased usefulness of these important adjuncts.
In all, the value of his gifts amounted to about half a million dollars. After leaving
Canada, Mr. and Mrs. Redpath took up their abode at the Manor House, Chiselhurst,
Kent, a picturesque, many-gabled mansion, having historic memories of Queen Elizabeth,
and her great Chancellor, Walsingham. There Mr. Redpath died February ist, 1894,
aged 73, universally regretted. His widow, who, from the day when she came as a young
bride to Canada to the present moment, has been a steadfast friend of every good work
in Montreal, has, like her former partner in life, taken an especial interest in the cause of
higher education, and both before and since her husband's death, has given largely to
McGill University. In 1894 she contributed $11,500 for museum expenses ; in the same
year she contributed $40,500 for the maintenance of the library; and only recently she
has completed the building of an additional wing to the Redpath Library. Very fittingly,
a portrait and bust of Mr. Redpath, with a portrait of Mrs. Redpath, have been placed by
the governors of this great seat of learning in its main gallery. Residence: The Manor
House, Chiselhurst, Kent, England. 279

LADY RITCHIE.
From a photograph by Pittaway, Ottawa.
Grace Vernon, daughter of the late Thomas Nicholson, Esquire, and his wife, Amy
Gardner (who married, secondly, Vice-Admiral William Fitzwilliam Owen, R.N.), married,
1856, as his second wife, the Hon. William Johnston Ritchie, a Judge of the Supreme Court
of New Brunswick, who became Chief Justice of the Province, 1865, a Judge of the Supreme
Court of Canada in 1875, and Chief Justice of Canada in 1879, the honour of knighthood
following in 1881. The issue of this marriage was a numerous family of sons and daugh-
ters, one of the sons devoting himself to the Church, and three to the law. A younger
son volunteered for service in South Africa during the recent war, and was wounded
slightly at Paardeberg. Sir William Ritchie died in Ottawa, September 25th, 1892, aged
72, and was buried in Beechwood Cemetery there. At the time of his death he was the
oldest judge, in length of service, in the Queen's dominions. Lady Ritchie, both at St.
John, her former home, and at Ottawa, since she went to reside there, has occupied
a very distinguished place in society. During the visit of the present King of England
to Canada in 1860, she had the honour of being selected to dance with him at Fredericton.
In Ottawa she has belonged to various women's associations, and has been a tower of
strength to all of them. She was the first president of the Woman's Humane Society,
from which she resigned at the time of her husband's death.* When Lady Aberdeen
established the Local Council of Women at Ottawa, she was made its President, and thus
became a Vice-President of the National Council of Women. One of the promoters of
the Women's Canadian Historical Society, she was for years a Vice-President of that body.
She has also been connected with the Victorian Order of Nurses since its organization, and
is one of the Board of Governors thereof. When the Canadian South African Memorial
Association was formed by the Countess of Minto, she was appointed a member of the
Central Committee, a position she still holds. She is undoubtedly one of the foremost
women workers in Canada, her services well entitling her to recognition in the event of a
Royal Order being established for the decoration of colonial women. Residence : 285
Metcalfe Street, Ottawa.
* Since going to press (1903), Lady Ritchie has been elected President of the Ottawa Humane Society.

General of Upper Canada, a member of a well-known Loyalist family, who became,
successively, Attorney-General and Chief Justice of Upper Canada. He was appointed
a C.B., 1850, and, declining knighthood, was created a Baronet, 1854. The issue of this
marriage was eight children, four sons and four daughters. Her eldest son, James Lukin,
succeeded his father in the baronetcy; her second son, John Beverley Robinson, became
Lieut.-Governor of Ontario ; her third son, Christopher Robinson, K.C., is now one of the
leaders of the Canadian bar, and has declined knighthood ; her fourth son, Major-
General Charles Walker Robinson, C.B., has highly distinguished himself in military
life. Her daughters married, respectively, Colonel (afterwards General Sir) J. H.Lefroy
(9.v.); Capt. J. M. Strachan, 68th Foot; Hon. G. W. Allan, Senator, and the Hon.
Donald MacInnes, Senator. Lady Robinson sometimes accompanied her husband to
England on his visits there on public business, and had moved much in an official and
judicial atmosphere, both there and in Canada. Though she and her distinguished
husband did not see much of general society in Toronto, they were none the less respected
by all classes, and their memories continue to this day to be held in reverence by many.
Lady Robinson was on the Committee of Management of the Toronto General Hospital
and other local institutions, and she gave much assistance to the benevolent work of the
Church of England. Her husband died January 30th, 1863 ; she died May 29th, 1865.
The remains of both were laid in St. James's Cemetery, Toronto.

Mary Jane, eldest daughter of the Hon. C. A. Hagerman, a distinguished member of the judicial
bench, by his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of George Macaulay, Esquire, Barrister, was born at King-
ston, Ont., and educated in Toronto. She married, June 30th, 1847, John Beverley Robinson, Esquire,
Barrister, second son of the Hon. Sir J. B. Robinson, C.B., Bart., Chief Justice of Upper Canada, and
his wife, Emma, daughter of Charles Walker, Esquire (9.v.). The issue of this union was three sons and
two daughters. Both daughters, Mrs. Forsyth Grant and Mrs. Stewart Houston, are represented in this
work. Mr. Robinson entered Parliament, and after having served as a minister of the Crown and in
other capacities, was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, filling that office with much acceptance,
assistance to her husband throughout his public career. The charm of her beautiful soprano voice, which
was ever at the service of the public for charitable and national objects, is well remembered by many.
The Home for Incurables, at Toronto, will always be a memorial of her well-directed efforts in this direc-
tion. The portrait of her given above is copied from an oil painting which was presented to that
institution by her husband. While at Government House she and Mr. Robinson had the honour of enter-
taining there two members of the Royal family, the Princess Louise and the present Prince of Wales.
The Fancy Dress ball, given during their term, was only surpassed in magnificence by the great Victorian
Era ball, given in 1897, in the same city, by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen. On the occasion of
Mrs. Robinson's birthday, June 7th, 1887, a committee of Toronto gentlemen, headed by Dr. Larratt W.

January 17th, 1802: her husband died, in the same city, June 19th, 1896. Both were buried in St. James's
Cemetery. Not long before his death the latter placed a handsome stained glass window in St. James's

with her parents to Chicago, where she joined the choir of St. Paul's Church.
She made her first appearance on the stage with a “Pinafore” company, her
musical gifts being of great advantage to her. Later, she joined Augustin
Daly's company, in New York ; and in 1886 appeared with Robson and Crane
in “The Comedy of Errors." In the following season she was cast for a part
in “The Henrietta," with the same gentlemen, and continuing with them,
became their leading lady. In 1894, she married Mr. Robson, and is the mother
of a son, David Morton Robson. She has not, however, abandoned her connec-
tion with the stage, as she is shortly (1903) to appear as one of the principals
of the support of Mr. Jerome Sykes in “The Billionaire.” Mrs. Robson is a
woman of fine taste and judgment, and is looked upon as one of the best dressed
women on the American stage. Her husband, who was regarded as having

MRS. ROHRER (ABIGAIL BECKER).
From a photograph by Perry, Simcoe, Ont.
Abigail Becker, known in native annals as “The heroine of Lake Erie,” was born in the Township of Portland,
County of Frontenac, Ontario, March 14th, 1830, her maiden name being Jackson. At eighteen she married a
widower, named Becker, and, after his death, under unfortunate circumstances, married again, in 1869, her present
husband, Mr. Rohrer. In all, she is the mother of nine children, six by her first, and three by her second husband.
As related in the little booklet : “ The Story of Abigail Becker, as told by her stepdaughter, Mrs. Henry Wheeler,"
(Toronto: 1899), she has been the means of saving a Itogether no less than twelve lives. The particular act, or series
of acts, of humanity, courage and devotion, which has given her a distinctive place among the heroines of to-day, and
earned for her the title by which she is chiefly known, occurred off Long Point Island, in Lake Erie, during a stormy
night in November, 1854, and is best described by the poet, John G. Whittier, in an article which appeared in the
Atlantic Monthly, in 1869. A schooner, named the Conductor, heavily laden with grain, having seven men on board,
was, during a violent storm, driven on a reef and became a total wreck. The crew took refuge in the rigging, and
were there discovered in the morning by Abigail Becker. With the exception of her children, she was all alone on
the island, her husband having gone to the mainland some time previously. Having no boat to go to the rescue of the
unfortunate mariners—and it seems doubtful if such a craft, or any other, could have existed in so fierce a tempest-
she could do nothing but build a huge fire upon the beach, and, in this way, give assurance to the crew that help was
near. After this had been done she more than once waded out through the snow and water, as far as she could safely
go, and by signs invited the men to swim for the shore, trusting to her to pull them through. She was tall and power-
ful in appearance, and possibly taking her for a man, they, finally, towards the close of the day, did as she suggested,
the captain going first. As he neared the shore Abigail Becker went out a considerable distance, and carried him
through the boiling surf to where she had her fire built, repeating the performance in each case until all the men,
except one who could not swim, and was therefore forced to remain on the wreck until next day, had been safely
landed. After this she supplied them with hot tea, and took them to her house for change of clothing. Every time
she went into the water to the rescue of the sailors she did so at the imminent risk of her life, but she had no thought
for herself at any time. In recognition of her splendid act of heroism, she was presented with the medal of the
American Humane Association, and some Buffalo merchants raised a sum of money with which her present home was
purchased for her. From her own country, however, neither the Parliament nor Government, nor any society or
individual, has ever taken any notice of a deed which for many a long year to come must make the name of Abigail
Becker one to be highly treasured throughout the civilized world. Residence: Walsingham Centre, Ont.

From a photograph by Webster Brothers, London, England. Kindly urnished by Lady
Rose's daughter, Lady Stanley Clarke.
Charlotte, daughter of Robert Emmet Temple, Esquire, of Rutland, Vermont, married, first,
September 11th, 1833, Major Robert Sweeney, of Montreal, who, in May, 1838, fought a duel with, and
killed, Major Henry J. Warde, of the ist Royals (he died December 15th, 1840); and, secondly, July
3rd, 1843, John Rose, Esquire, Advocate, of Montreal, a gentleman who attained great distinction as a
public man in Canada, and, who, after his removal to England, in 1869, was created a Baronet, sworn of
the Privy Council, and was given the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. There was
issue of this latter marriage, three sons and two daughters, viz.: The late Sir William Rose, Charles Day
Rose, now M.P., Captain Edward Temple Rose, late roth Hussars, Mary Temple, Lady Clarke (g.v.),
and Charlotte Amy, wife of Francis Stuart Stanley, Esquire (q.v.). Lady Rose, who was a woman of
beauty, grace and culture, was long the dominant social figure in Montreal, and her husband's advance-
ment in life was due in a large measure to her wise counsel and ready tact. Their house, “Rosemount,"
which was occupied by the Prince of Wales (now King Edward VII.), during his visit to Canada,
in 1860, and by Prince Arthur (Duke of Connaught), when quartered in Montreal with his regiment ten
years afterwards, was the scene of some of the most brilliant entertainments ever given in the commercial
metropolis. Among those who had been guests there, at one time or another, were the several Governors-
General and their wives, John Bright, Richard Cobden, the Duke of Devonshire and his two brothers,
Lord Edward and Lord Frederick Cavendish, Prince Napoleon, Sir Howard Russell, Prince Doria, Lord
Wolseley, General Buller, Sir Fenwick Williams, the Prince de Joinville, etc. After removing to Eng-
land, Sir John and Lady Rose occupied Loseley Park, in Surrey, and there, as well as in London, gathered
about them all that was brightest and best of social, literary or artistic merit. They also rented Braham
Castle, Ross-shire. Lady Rose, who together with her husband had been the guest of Queen Victoria
on several occasions, died at Queen's Gate, London, December 3rd, 1883, and was buried at Guildford, in
Surrey. Sir John Rose, married, secondly, January 24th, 1887, Julia, Marchioness of Tweeddale, widow
of the oth Marquis of Tweeddale, and daughter of Keith Stewart Mackenzie, Esquire, of Seaforth. He
died, suddenly, while shooting in the Duke of Portland's deer forest, in Caithness, Scotland, August 24th,
1888, and was interred by the side of his first wife in Guildford cemetery. The Prince of Wales sent a
wreath to, and was represented at, his funeral.

MRS. G. W. ROSS.
From a photograph by Fraser Bryce. Kindly furnished by her husband, the Hon. G. W. Ross, LL.D.
Catherine, daughter of Wm. Boston, Esquire, Toronto, was born in the Township of
Lobo, County of Middlesex, Ontario, November roth, 1847, and was of Scottish descent,
her father being a native of Melrose, Scotland. As a very young girl, it is said that she was
a pupil of her husband, when he was a public school teacher. She was married to Mr.
Ross, as his second wife, November 17th, 1875, and bore him four children, one son and
three daughters. Throughout she was a true helpmeet, giving up her whole life to secure
the happiness and success of her husband. Her chief characteristic was common sense,
and a womanly devotion to her husband and family, which was truly heroic. While very
unassuming, she was an intellectual woman, and took a warm interest in public affairs.
Few ladies were seen more frequently in the gallery or on the floor of the Legislature, and
few knew so much of what was going on in the political world, or could form so quick and
so just an estimate of men and measures as she could. One of the few occasions on which
she appeared officially before the public was when she, at the request of the Ontario
Historical Society, unveiled the Laura Secord monument at Lundy's Lane, June 22nd,
1901. Her husband, who was naturally proud of such a wife, paid a handsome tribute to
her many excellences of character, at Niagara Falls, on their return from a visit to
England, September 21st, 1901. He said his wife was like “the shadow of a great rock in
a weary land, and a tower of strength to the Ontario Government.” Her death occurred
at Toronto, March 12th, 1902, her remains being interred in Mount Pleasant Cemetery
in that city. The Montreal Star voiced the public sentiment in saying that her removal
would be generally deplored. “As the daughter of a member of Parliament, the sister of
another, and the wife of a Provincial Premier, she had a deep sense of the responsibilities
of a public man's helpmate. She drew to her the literary, the artistic, and those inter-
ested in educational work, and she took an active part in charitable undertakings and
enterprises worthy the aid of devoted wives and mothers.”

his death, which occurred November 29th, 1858. She then returned to Canada,
taking up her residence in Montreal, where she died, December 16th, 1891.
Her remains were laid in the cemetery at Côte-des-Neiges. She was the
mother of nine children, four sons and five daughters. Edwin John Routh,
LL.D., D.Sc., her eldest son, born in Quebec, January 20th, 1831, graduated at
Cambridge University as Senior Wrangler, and has become one of the most
eminent mathematicians in the world. He married, in 1864, the eldest daughter
of Sir G. B. Airy, K.C.B., the late Astronomer Royal. Lady Routh, who was
both affable and dignified, held a high place in Canadian society, and enjoyed
the esteem and respect of all. She was a sister of the late Cardinal Taschereau,
and of the late Judge J. T. Taschereau, of the Supreme Court of Canada.

connection with Canada commenced in the spring of 1846, when she accompanied her
husband to Halifax, N.S., where his regiment, the Rifle Brigade, was stationed. Thence,
in the autumn, they went to Quebec with the regiment. In 1847, Lord Alexander was
appointed A.D.C. to Lord Elgin, and they joined that nobleman with his family in
Montreal, returning to England the same year. In 1862, Lady Alexander joined her

character. Residence : Uckfield House, Uckfield, Sussex, England.

war broke out, and she was appointed to the nursing staff on board the hospital ship,
Relief. In all she made nine trips to Cuba and Puerto Rico to bring home wounded
and fever-stricken soldiers. Not long after this service, she sailed for Manilla, by the
same vessel, via the Suez Canal, the voyage occupying forty days; and after three
months' stay at Manilla, returned on the Relief to San Francisco, with 280 wounded and
invalided soldiers on board. After disposing of the patients in the various hospitals, Miss

From a photograph by Desautels, Montreal.
Mary Anne, eldest daughter of Francis Madden, Esquire, of Cootehill,
County Cavan, Ireland, was born there December 31st, 1820. Educated by
private tuition, she began at eighteen to write for La Belle Assemblée, a London
magazine published under the patronage of the Duchess of Kent. Coming to
Canada, in 1844, she married, two years afterwards, James Sadlier, Esquire, a
member of a well-known publishing house. One of her first works was a collec-
tion of traditionary stories, published in Montreal, entitled “Tales of the Olden
Time.” Her literary works may be divided into three classes : (1) The his-
torical Irish romance, of which the “Confederate Chieftains” is the best and
most elaborate ; (2) her didactic and religious works, original and translated,
of which “De Ligny's Life of the Blessed Virgin" may be cited as an example;
and (3) a department, or sub-department, of fiction, in which Thomas D'Arcy
McGee considered her wholly unrivalled, and which may be called the romance
of Irish immigration. Under this head may be included her “Willy Burke,"
" The Blakes and Flanagans,” “Con O’Regan," "Eleanor Preston," “ Aunt
Honor's Keepsake," etc. In all, she was the author of over sixty works, original
and translated. In 1886 she published “The Poems of Thomas D'Arcy McGee,
with an introduction and biographical sketch.” Mrs. Sadlier died in Montreal,
April 5th, 1903, and was buried at Brooklyn, N.Y. She was the mother of three
daughters, the youngest of whom, Marguerite, married, October 19th, 1880,
Francis, eldest son of Francis Chadwick, Esquire, of “The Glen,” County
Meath, Ireland. The second daughter, Miss Anna T. Sadlier, inherits much of
her mother's literary talent, and has published various works of fiction, criginal
and translated.

THE PRINCESS SALM-SALM.
From a photograph taken specially for this work by Aime Dupont, New York.
Eliza A., daughter of William Joy, Esquire, was born at St. Armand West, P.Q. Impelled by a
desire for change, she left home when a young girl, and became an actress, under the name of Agnes Le
Clercq. While filling an engagement at Washington, she met Prince Felix Salm-Salm, a younger son of
the reigning Prince zu Salm-Salm, Prussia, and was married to him at St. Patrick's Church, in that city,
August 30th, 1862. Her husband had previously belonged to the Austrian army, but at the breaking out
of the Civil War in the United States had offered his services to the National Government and became a
member of the staff of General Louis Bleaker. Through his wife's influence he obtained command of the
*8th New York Regiment, and, later, of the 68th New York Volunteers, and towards the end of the war
was assigned to the command of the post at Atlanta, receiving the brevet of brigadier-general in April,
1865. He next offered his services to the Emperor Maximilian in Mexico, and was appointed Colonel on
the general staff. He became the Emperor's A.D.C., and chief of his household, and was captured at
Queretaro. After Maximilian's execution he returned to Europe, re-entered the Prussian army as major
in the Grenadier Guards, and was killed at the battle of Gravelotte. He published his diary in Mexico,
including leaves from the diary of the Princess Salm-Salm (London : 1868). The Princess accompanied
her husband throughout his military campaigns in the South, performing useful service in connection with
the field hospitals, and was with him also in Mexico. After the fall of Queretaro, she rode to San Luis
Potosi, and implored President Juarez to procure the release of Maximilian and of his Aide, who was
imprisoned with him. She also sought the intervention of Porfirio Diaz and of Mariano Escobedo, and
arranged a conference between the latter General and the Archduke. After the death of her husband, she
raised a hospital brigade, which accomplished much good during the Franco-German war. Subsequently,
she married Charles Heneage, Esquire, of the English diplomatic service, but soon separated from him.
She published "Ten Years of my Life” (Toronto: 1877). A sister is married to Edmund Johnson,
Esquire, of Vineland, N.J. Residence: Karlsrahe Baden, Karlstrasse 2.

Harriet Sophia, youngest daughter of Thomas Vaux, Esquire, Accountant of the House of
Commons, Ottawa, was born in Montreal and educated in Quebec. She married, in 1866, as his
second wife, W. E. Sanford, Esquire, of Hamilton, Ont., who was called to the Senate of Canada,
by the Earl of Derby, February 8th, 1887, and continued to sit in that body up to his demise,
July roth, 1899. Of four children, two sons died, one in infancy, and the elder, E. Jackson
Sanford, at the age of twenty-nine. The two surviving children are Mrs. Tudor (9.v.) and an
unmarried daughter, Muriel. Mrs. Sanford is described by Rose as "a lady of culture and dignity whose
genial and refined spirit makes the home delightful and whose open-handed charity is a proverb in the
city in which she lives.” She has held the position of president of various benevolent and other institu-
tions in Hamilton, and since her husband's death has assumed many business responsibilities. Since the
establishment by Lady Aberdeen of the National Council of Women, Mrs. Sanford has taken an active
interest in its affairs, and was instrumental in forming a similar Council in Italy, and frequently attending
the annual meetings of the International Council in Europe. Elsinore, the Convalescent Home at
Hamilton Beach, which was founded by Senator Sanford in his lifetime, is now maintained by Mrs.
Sanford and her daughters, in his memory. In Mr. Bell-Smith's painting of the scene in Windsor Castle,
where Her late Majesty is represented placing a wreath on the coffin of Sir John Thompson, Mrs. Sanford
and her daughters also appear. While in London, and previous to his journey to Windsor Castle, to be
sworn as a member of the Privy Council, Sir John Thompson had been the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Sanford, and when the sad event of his death occurred, Mrs. Sanford, in the absence of her husband from
London, accompanied by her daughters, at once repaired to the Castle, where, at the Queen's request, they
remained for the night in order to be present at the funeral obsequies. The following day they were
presented to Her Majesty. Two days later Mrs. Sanford again went to the Castle with Miss Thompson
and had a private audience with the Queen, who conversed most graciously with both ladies. Mrs.
Sanford was first presented at Court in May, 1894, and subsequently attended other drawing-rooms,
presenting first her elder and then her younger daughter. She attended the Court held by King Edward
and Queen Alexandra in June, 1902, and witnessed the Coronation of Their Majesties in Westminster
Abbey, in August of the same year. Residence : “Wesanford," Hamilton, Ont.

MISS MARSHALL SAUNDERS.
From a photograph by Gauvin & Gentzel, Halifax.
Miss Margaret Marshall Saunders, who has become one of the foremost writers of animal
stories in the world, is the daughter of a Baptist clergyman, the Rev. E. M. Saunders, D.D.,
and his wife, Maria Kisborough Freeman, and was born in Milton, Queen's County, Nova
Scotia, April 13th, 1861. She claims descent from John Alden, the first pilgrim from the
Mayflower to set foot on Plymouth rock, the same who, with his wife, Priscilla, is immor-
talized in Longfellow's “The Courtship of Miles Standish.” On her mother's side she
counts descent from another Mayflower pilgrim. Born amid romantic surroundings,
Miss Saunders early became a student and a writer. After completing her education in
France, she returned to Canada, and did her first work for newspapers and magazines.
Her first story, “My Spanish Sailor," appeared in 1887. This was followed by “Beau-
tiful Joe,"* the autobiography of a dog, which won the $200 prize offered by the American
Humane Education Society for the best story illustrative of the kind or cruel treatment
of domestic animals and birds in the Northern States, and other animal stories which
have been extensively read. She has also written love stories, which, in the opinion of
Katharine Hale, have “an irresistible charm.” The best known of her works, in addition
to those we have mentioned, are “Daisy,” “Charles and his Lamb," “ The House of
Armour,” “Rose à Charlitte," “ The King of the Park,” “For the Other Boy's Sake,”
“Deficient Saints,” “For his Country," "Her Sailor” (“ My Spanish Sailor” rewritten),
" 'Tilda Jane,” and “Beautiful Joe's Paradise.” Miss Saunders has seen much of the
world, and is described as one who possesses genius, heart and insight. Residence : 28
Carlton Street, Halifax, N.S.

LADY SCHULTZ.
From a photograph by Topley, Ottawa.
**Agnes Campbell, daughter of James Farquharson, Esquire, of Kingston, Jamaica, and later of
British Columbia, married, in 1867, John Christian Schultz, Esquire, Doctor of Medicine, who was one
of the first members returned to represent Manitoba in the House of Commons at Ottawa after the
acquisition of the North-West Territories by the Dominion. He was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of
Manitoba in 1888, and, in 1895, in acknowledgment of his public services, was created a K.C.M.G. by
Queen Victoria. At his death in April, 1896, his remains received the honours of a State funeral. Dr.
Schultz had more particularly distinguished himself as leader of the Loyalists during the rebellion at Red
River, 1869-70, when he was arrested and imprisoned by Riel. His wife came very prominently into
notice at that time, in connection with her efforts for the succour and release of her husband and his
friends, efforts which were ultimately crowned with success. In recognition of her courage and constancy,
under the many trying circumstances of her situation, she was presented, in 1870, with a service of plate,
by citizens of Montreal, and with a gold watch, by citizens of Toronto. While mistress of Government
House, Winnipeg, during her husband's régime, she had as guests the Earl and Countess of Derby, and,
subsequently, the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen. As strict prohibitionists, Sir John and Lady Schultz
would not allow the use of wines or liquors at their table, either before or after they entered Government
House. Devoted to church and charitable work, Lady Schultz has taken an active interest in the
Hospital Aid Society, the Children's Home, the Women's Auxiliary and other kindred organizations,
with which she was and is officially connected. She was the first local President of the Women's
Council, and Vice-President of the National Council of Women, under the Countess of Aberdeen. Like
her husband, she has always been warmly devoted to the sovereign and the Royal family, and, in 1893,
led the movement in Manitoba for the presentation of a wedding gift to the Prince and Princess of Wales.
She has recently erected a memorial window to her husband in Holy Trinity Church, Winnipeg.

Man A
Scott
MRS. R. W. SCOTT.
From a photograph by Topley, Ottawa. Kindly furnished by her husband.
Mary, daughter of the late John Heron, Esquire, and Frances, his wife, was born
and educated in Dublin, Ireland. She married, at Philadelphia, Pa., November 8th,
1853, Richard William Scott, Esquire, Barrister, of Bytown (now Ottawa), who subse-
quently entered public life, became a member of the Ontario Government, and, later,
of the Dominion Government (of which he is now a member, for the second time), and
continues to hold a highly distinguished place among Canadian statesmen. The issue
of this marriage has been two sons and four daughters, one of the latter being married to
George J. Desbarats, Esquire, C.E., a brother of the Baroness de Blaquiere (q.v.). The
sons are William L. Scott, Local Master in Chancery, and D'Arcy Scott, Barrister,
Ottawa. Mrs. Scott was one of several clever and highly accomplished sisters, known
in professional life as “The Heron sisters," who, on the completion of their studies in
music, came with their parents to America in the early fifties, and subsequently created
a furore in the United States, the British provinces, and the West Indies by their
exquisite singing. They toured in Canada in company, for a time, with Sir William
Henry Don, a baronet of Nova Scotia, whose title, now extinct, dated back to 1667.
One of the sisters married Signor Testa, a renowned tenor ; another married William
Rape, Esquire, Spanish Consul at Dresden, and a third married Allan J. Scott, Esquire,
a brother of the Hon. R. W. Scott. Perhaps the most talented of the sisters was
Madame Testa, whose beautiful and highly-cultivated contralto voice won many laurels
in Italian and English opera. She died in the city of Mexico, March 24th, 1891. Mrs.
Scott, on her marriage, left the stage, and has since resided at Ottawa, which from
a small settlement has grown, in her day, to be the beautiful and populous capital of
British North America. In addition to her daily round of duties, she, as long as health
permitted, always found time to lend her assistance to every cause in which her co-opera-
tion was desired, having for its object some worthy or desirable undertaking. On the

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LADY SEATON.
From a miniature taken in early life. Kindly furnished by her daughter, Lady Alexander
Montgomery-Moore, Gipsy Lodge, Norwood, London, England.
Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the Rev. James Yonge, of Puslinch, County Devon, England, for
twenty-four years rector of Newton Ferrars, and his second wife, Anne, daughter of Edmund Granger,
Esquire, of The Castle, Exeter, was born in 1790, and married, June 21st, 1814, Colonel John Colborne,
who became one of the most distinguished soldiers of his time, and led the decisive movement of the 52nd
Light Infantry which secured the victory of Waterloo. After serving successively as Lieutenant-Governor
of Guernsey, Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, and Governor-General of Canada, he was created a
peer, with the title of Lord Seaton. Later, he was appointed Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands,
a Privy Councillor, and Commander-in-Chief in Ireland, and attained the rank of Field Marshal. Lady
Seaton was the mother of eight children, six sons and two daughters, two of the former being born in Canada,
namely, James Saumarez Colborne, who died at York (now Toronto), July 30th, 1829, aged 3 years, and
Hon. John Colborne, who was born at York, February 14th, 1830, and is still living. Sir John and Lady
Colborne first arrived in Canada in November, 1828, being accompanied by five of their children,
together with Miss Yonge (Lady Colborne's sister), and Dr. Jeune, afterwards Bishop of Lincoln, who
was tutor to their sons. They resided successively at York, Montreal and Quebec, their summers, while
in Lower Canada, being spent at Sorel. Lady Colborne, to whom all classes of the people were warmly
attached, was of a most charitable disposition, giving largely of her private means to deserving
Mr. D. B. Read, in his “Lives of the Lieutenant-Governors of Upper Canada,” makes special mention of a
bazaar gotten up by her Ladyship at York, in 1832, for the relief of distress occasioned by the epidemic
of cholera, by which the sum of $1,200 was realized. Before leaving Canada, Lord Seaton was invested
with the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, the ceremony taking place at the residence of his old
comrade, Major-General Sir James Macdonell, K.C.B., in Quebec, October 22nd, 1839. Lord Seaton
died April 17th, 1863, and his wife, November 28th, 1872.

MRS. LAURA SECORD.
From the likeness contained in Lossing's "Pictorial Field-Book of the War of 1812."
Copyright, 1868, by Harper & Brothers.
Laura, eldest daughter of Major Thomas Ingersoll, a U. E. Loyalist, who afterwards founded the
town of Ingersoll, Upper Canada, and his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Israel Dewey, Esquire, of
Great Barrington, Mass., was born in Massachusetts, December, 1775. In or about 1795, she accom-
panied her father and stepmother (her father's third wife) to Canada, which from that time became her
home. She married, not long afterwards, James, youngest son of Lieut. James Secord, and his wife.
Madeleine Badeau, and lived with him at St. David's and at Queenston, on the Niagara frontier. Her
husband was also of Loyalist stock. He served during the War of 1812, and assisted in carrying the body
of General Brock from the field of combat after he had fallen. At the third attack on Queenston, Secord
was wounded, and it is on record that he would have been clubbed to death by the enemy as he lay
helpless on the ground, if his wife, hearing of his mishap, had not gone to his assistance. Other brave
and meritorious deeds rendered during the war have been attributed to her, but her crowning achieve-
ment, and that which has given her name an eternal fame in Canadian history, took place on June 23rd,
1813, as tersely recounted in the inscription on the public monument erected in her honour, at Lundy's
Lane, in 1901 : “ To perpetuate the name and fame of Laura Secord, who, on the 23rd of June, 1813,
walked alone nearly twenty miles by a circuitous, difficult and perilous route, through woods and swamps,
over dirty roads, to warn a British outpost at DeCew's Falls, of intended attack, and thereby enabled
Lieut. FitzGibbon on the 24th of June, 1813, with less than fifty men of His Majesty's 49th Regiment,
about fifteen militiamen, and a similar force of Six Nation and other Indians, under Captains William
Johnston Kerr and Dominique Ducharme, to surprise and attack the enemy at Beechwood (or Beaver
Dams), and, after a short engagement, to capture Colonel Berstler, of the U. S. Army, and his entire
force of 542 men, with two field-pieces. This monument, erected by the Ontario Historical Society from
contributions of schools, societies, Her Majesty's 49th Regiment, other militia organizations and private
individuals, was unveiled 22nd of June, 1901.”* Mrs. Secord was the mother of one son and six daughters.
Her husband died February 22nd, 1841; she died October 17th, 1868. Among writers who have taken
special notice of her achievement have been Lieut. -Colonel W. F. Coffin, Lieut.-Colonel Cruickshank,
Charles Mair, Mrs. S. A. Curzon, Miss Machar, Mrs. Frances E. Murray and Mrs. E. A. Currie. It is
now proposed by the United Empire Loyalists' Association to pay further honour to the heroine by
erecting a national monument to her at the scene of her achievement.
* It is but right to state that the success of this undertaking was largely due to the constant and ener-
getic efforts of Mrs. E. J. Thompson, of Toronto, the convener of the Monuments and Tablets Committee
of the Ontario Historical Society.

of Colonel Thomas Gwillim, of Old Court, A.D.C. to General Wolfe, married, about 1790,
her relative, Colonel John Graves Simcoe, M.P., late of the Queen's Rangers, who, in
July, 1792, was appointed first Governor of the Province of Upper Canada, which position
he filled till July, 1796. In the latter year he became Governor of San Domingo, and
after returning from that country, was promoted lieutenant-general, and appointed
Commander-in-Chief in India, as successor to Lord Lake, but did not live to take up the
duties of this office, as he died suddenly, at Torbay, October 26th, 1806, aged 54. Mrs.
Simcoe accompanied her husband to Canada, arriving at Quebec, on H. M. S. Triton,
November, 1791, and proceeding to the Upper Province in June, 1792, a considerable
portion of the journey being made in canoes. The Duc de la Rochefoucault-Liancourt,
who visited the Simcoes at Newark (Niagara), in 1795, describes Mrs. Simcoe as “a lady
of thirty-six years of age. She is bashful and speaks little, but is a woman of sense,
handsome and amiable, and fulfils all the duties of a mother and wife with the most
scrupulous exactness. The performance of the latter she carries so far as to act the part
of secretary to her husband. Her talent for drawing, the practice of which she confines
to maps and plans, enables her to be extremely useful to her husband.” Mrs. Simcoe
also accompanied her husband to San Domingo. She died at the family seat, Wolford
Lodge, near Exeter, Devonshire, in 1850. She was the mother of two sons and six
daughters. One daughter, Katherine, was born in Canada, and died here in infancy.

Hon. Henrietta Maria, eldest daughter of Henry Augustus, 13th Viscount Dillon, and his wife,
Henrietta, eldest daughter of Dominick Geoffry Browne, Esquire, M.P., and sister of the ist Lord Oran-
command of his regiment, the worst Foot. Two years afterwards, the regiment proceeded to Jamaica, and
the mother and child went to England. Subsequently, they took up their residence at Florence, where,
in 1826, the Hon. Miss Dillon was married to Edward John Stanley, Esquire, who, later, became the 2nd
Lord Stanley of Alderley. She was the mother of ten children, four sons and six daughters, among the
latter being the late Countess of Airlie and the late Viscountess Amberley. Her husband died June 16th,
1869 ; her Ladyship died February 16th, 1895. She was in many respects a most remarkable woman.
Her great age was no hindrance to her extraordinary intellectual and physical activity. Within a few
weeks of her death she attended the weekly meeting of the Girls' Public Day School Company (of which
she was one of the earliest promoters), had attended a lecture at the Royal Institution on her old friend
present Lord Stanley, to a church. As a matter of history it may be recorded that she was born before
the Jubilee of George III., was presented at court to George IV., was familiar with the widow of the
young Pretender, and was present both at the Coronation and the Jubilee of her late Majesty Queen
Victoria. More than half a century ago Lady Stanley was one of the original promoters of the Queen's
College, and she became one of the members of its first council. She assisted to a great extent Miss
Emily Davies, to whom the foundation of Girton College was primarily and mainly owing. During the
whole of her life she had been doing the best that she could do for the development of the education of
women, never thrusting herself to the front or endeavouring to monopolize the credit that was due to
others, and all this good work was accomplished without neglecting her duties as a woman or the taking
of a proper interest in her children and their offsp g. Her remains were interred beneath the chancel
of Alderley Church, in which edifice her surviving children have placed a tablet to her memory.

years to give herself up almost wholly to works of charity, improvement and
beneficence, following, in this respect, in the footsteps of the Cottés, Quesnels,
Laframboises and Vigers of a preceding generation. While doing good in
every direction, she has laboured especially for the welfare of Notre Dame
Hospital, of which she is President, and has been instrumental in raising for
that institution over $50,000. Among other bodies with which she has been
closely connected have been the National Council of Women, the Women's
Historical Society, the Parks and Playgrounds Association of Montreal, and
the Ladies' Branch of the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society, of which she
was one of the founders. Madame Thibaudeau is the mother of two daughters,
the eldest of whom is married to Aimé, only son of the late Hon. C. A. Geoffrion,

LADY THOMPSON.
From a photograph by Topley, Ottawa.
Annie E., daughter of John Affleck, Esquire, of Halifax, N.S., and his wife, Catherine Saunders,
was born and educated in Halifax. She married, in 1870, John Sparrow David Thompson, Esquire,
Barrister, who subsequently ran a distinguished career as a public man. Entering the Provincial Assem-
bly, in 1877, he became, two years afterwards, a member of the Local Executive, then Premier of Nova
Scotia, then a Judge, then a Privy Councillor of Canada, with office, and then Prime Minister of Canada.
He was created a K.C.M.G. in 1888, and, at his death, December 12th, 1894, had just been sworn as a
Privy Councillor at Windsor Castle. His sudden demise created a painful sensation everywhere, and
awakened a deep feeling of sympathy for his widow and children, consisting of two sons and two
daughters. Her Majesty Queen Victoria, in whose presence Sir John Thompson had expired, gave
expression to her sorrow in a private interview with the deceased statesman's daughter, and sent a tender
message of condolence to his widow. She also placed a wreath upon his coffin, and ordered that the
remains be taken to Halifax in state, in one of Her Majesty's war vessels, which was done. After the
state funeral at the latter place, a fund was raised for the benefit of Lady Thompson, headed by Lord
Strathcona with a subscription of $5,000, the Parliament of Canada contributing thereto $25,000. The
education of the sons was undertaken by the Governor-General, the Earl of Aberdeen. Lady Thompson,
who is a cultured and capable woman, has, since her husband's death, lived much in retirement. She has
travelled abroad, and while with Sir John Thompson in England, on one occasion, was presented to
Queen Victoria, at a garden party given at Marlborough House by the then Prince and Princess of
Wales. She co-operated with the Countess of Aberdeen in founding the National Council of Women, and
was one of its presidents at large. She has also given her support to the Victorian Order of Nurses by.
becoming a governor of the order. Residence : “ Derwent Lodge," Sherbourne Street, Toronto.

St. John's, who, subsequently, entered public life, became Premier of New-
foundland in 1885, and received a K.C.M.G. at Queen Victoria's Jubilee in

sitting in London, to present their address of congratulation to Her Majesty at

LADY TILLEY.
From a photograph by Topley, Ottawa.
Alice Starr, eldest daughter of the late Zachariah Chipman, Esquire, ship-owner and merchant, of" The Cedars,"
St. Stephen, N.B., and his wife, Mary Eliza, daughter of William H. DeWolfe, Esquire, of Wolfville, N.S., was born
at St. Stephen. Educated in St. John, she subsequently gratified her literary and artistic tastes by studying and
travelling in England. She married, October 20th, 1867, as his second wife, the Hon. Samuel Leonard Tilley, C.B., then
Minister of Customs, a distinguished statesman who had been largely instrumental with others in securing the political
union of British North America. There was issue of this marriage two sons : Herbert Chipman Tilley, born September
6th, 1868, and Leonard Percy DeWolfe Tilley, born May 21st, 1870. Mr. Tilley, who had been previously Premier of
New Brunswick, became Lieutenant-Governor of that Province in 1873, and, after serving for a second time in the
Dominion Government (1878-85), was in the latter year recalled to the Lieutenant-Governorship, and continued
therein up to within a short period of his death. June 25th. 1806. He was created a K.C.M.G. in 1879. While living
at Ottawa, Lady Tilley was one of the principal figures in a brilliant circle of women led by the Baroness Macdonald
of Earnscliffe, no society event being considered complete without her. At all the entertainments given in honour of
the Duke of Connaught while on his first visit to Canada, and, afterwards, during the stay here of his sister, the
Princess Louise, she was prominent. Subsequently, while in England, in July, 1884, she and her husband had the
honour of being presented to Her late Majesty Queen Victoria, at Osborne, by the Princess Louise. They also
attended a garden party given by the present King and Queen, at Marlborough House, and a State ball at Buck-
ingham Palace. After taking possession of Government House, Fredericton, for the second time, in 1885, Lady Tilley
gave herself up almost wholly to benevolent work, with the result that, since that time, she has been instrumental in
giving to her native Province several institutions which will be of lasting benefit to its people. Chief among these
are the Victoria Cottage Hospital at Fredericton, and the Industrial School for Boys, the Nurses' Home, the Seamen's
Mission, and the Home for Consumptives at St. John. Another institution founded in part by her is the Chipman
Memorial Hospital, consisting of the Chipman homestead at St. Stephen, which, in 1902, was given over for hospital
purposes by the heirs of the estate : Lady Tilley, her brother, J. D. Chipman, Esquire, and her sisters, Mrs. Toller, of
Ottawa, and Mrs. W. H. Howland. of Toronto. Lady Tilley has been a prominent member of the National Council
of Women since its organization, and, we believe, is still President of the St. John Local Council. As a proof of their
consistency of principle, it may be mentioned that during the thirteen years Sir Leonard and Lady Tilley held the first
place in New Brunswick, no intoxicants of any kind were in use at their entertainments. One who knows Lady Tilley
intimately speaks of her as "a born leader, who is always in the forefront of every aggressive movement." "Her
sympathies," adds the same writer, "are with the advance guard of women reformers, but she is not a crank that
turns in one direction until the monotony becomes unbearable. She has zeal with knowledge, and this with sound
common sense, tact and a harmonious individuality gives her success. Another strong point is her talent for organi-
zation, and as her methods run in reasonable lines she rarely fails in the accomplishment of her object." Should a
Royal Order be instituted for the decoration of Colonial women, Lady Tilley's varied public services would be well
worthy of recognition. Residence : Carleton House, St. John, N.B.

From a photograph by Topley, Ottawa. Kindly furnished by her niece, Mrs. Brown Chamberlin.
Catharine Parr, the fifth in order of birth of the clever Strickland sisters, was born at
London, Kent, England, January 9th, 1802. She was the first of the sisters to commence
writing, and it was the favour with which her stories and sketches were received by the
public that led her elder sisters to enter the same field. In 1832 she married Lieut.
Thomas Traill, of the 21st Fusiliers, with whom she emigrated to Canada, her sister,
Susannah (Mrs. Moodie, q.v.), following soon afterward. The Traills settled at Rice
Lake, in Ontario, which became their permanent place of residence in this country.
published her first book: “The Backwoods of Canada.” Among her subsequent works,
all of which had a marked influence in promoting emigration to Canada, were : “The
Canadian Crusoes,” “The Female Emigrant's Guide,” “Rambles in the Canadian
Forest,” “Studies in Plant Life in Canada," “ Pearls and Pebbles," and “Cot and Cradle
Stories.” She died at her residence, “Westove," Lakefield, Ont., August 28th, 1899,
universally regretted. Not long before her death, through the instrumentality of Lord
Lansdowne, she received a grant from the Royal Bounty Fund, which was supplemented
by a subscription from her friends in Canada, headed by Sir Sandford Fleming. John
Reade, speaking of Mrs. Traill in “Old and New," says: “No one knew her who did
not love her. Those who knew nothing of her literary fame, loved her for her Christian
love and charity. All children loved her. It was not uncommon for grey-headed men
and women to say: 'I have known and loved her all my life. Her one boast (if boast.
it could be called), was: 'I have never lost a friend.'” At her death she was said to be
the oldest living authoress in the British Dominions.

MRS. LILLIAN MASSEY TREBLE.
From a photograph by Park Brothers, Toronto.
Mrs. Treble is the only daughter of the late Hart A. Massey, Esquire, of Toronto, a gentleman widely known
n Canada as the able and energetic founder of some of its most important industries and philanthropic institutions.
She was born in Newcastle, Ont., March 2nd, 1854. She has inherited a large share of her father's energy and
ability, and her natural gifts have been perfected by the most thorough education and culture which the country
she has made philanthropic work the ambition of her life. Commencing with the Fred Victor Mission in a neglected
part of Toronto, and with the Deaconess work, she speedily appreciated the fact that, if permanent good was to be
accomplished, the home-life of the masses must be improved, and for this purpose the girls must be furnished with
higher ideals than could be had in their own wretched tenements. Hence came classes in Domestic Science connected
with the Mission work. These led up to wider ideas for the uplifting of the home life of the whole country, calling
for teachers for our Public and High Schools, and supplying these through a Normal Training School. This led to
the founding of the Lillian Massey School of Household Science and Art. Finally the influence of her work has
reached the University of Toronto, resulting in a curriculum in Household Science which offers the most perfect
literary, scientific and practical education for women in woman's sphere of life, i.e., the home, that can be found in
any country. Mrs. Treble has also founded similar work in the University of Manitoba, and in several ladies'
colleges. She was married, January 26th, 1897, to John M. Treble, Esquire, of Toronto. A member of the Metro-
politan Methodist Church, Toronto, a trustee of the Fred Victor Mission, Honorary President of the Canadian
Household Economic Association, and Vice-President of the Women's Council of Toronto, she is likewise a trustee
executrix for the administration of the large estate of her father, the late Hart A. Massey. Her name would add
strength to any Royal Order to be instituted for the decoration of Colonial women. Residence: “Euclid Hall,"

lectures delivered by Dr. Roddick and others before the Ladies Educational
Association, she prepared for matriculation in Toronto University, with a view
to studying medicine, but the death of a favourite brother caused her to change
her plans. She then entered the New York Hospital Training School for
Nurses, and after graduating, in 1883, remained for six months in charge of the
children's ward and reception rooms. When not much over twenty years of
age, she was appointed Superintendent of the Training School of the High

Frances Deering Wentworth, a native of Boston, Mass., married, first, Theodore Atkinson, Junior,
Esquire, Secretary of the Colony of New Hampshire, who died at Portsmouth, N.H., October 28th, 1769,
aged 33; and, secondly, two weeks afterwards, John Wentworth, Esquire, who had been appointed
Governor and Commander-in-Chief of New Hampshire, July 12th, 1766. To this office was added that
of Surveyor-General of the King's Woods in North America. These positions he filled till after the
outbreak of the American Revolution, an event he seems to have done his utmost to prevent. His last
official act was to prorogue the Assembly at the Isles of Shoals, August, 1775. He then sailed for
England, and, on January 23rd, 1792, was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, Lady Went-
worth accompanying him to Halifax. He continued in this position up to 1808, when he retired on a
pension of £500. While Governor of Nova Scotia he raised the Nova Scotia Regiment, of which he
became Colonel; he was also Grand Master of the Free Masons. He and Lady Wentworth received as
their guests both the Duc d'Orleans (afterwards King Louis Philippe of France) and Prince Edward
(afterwards the Duke of Kent), and they loaned their lodge, at Bedford Basin, to the latter, who occupied
it, with his morganatic wife, Madame de St. Laurent (9.0.). Lady Wentworth was on friendly terms
and Queen, July 5th, 1798, by the Countess of Fitzwilliam, and was admired by Queen Charlotte for
her elegance and manners, and received the appointment of a lady-in-waiting, with permission to reside
abroad and receive a yearly salary of £500.-(Murdoch.) She is represented as having been beautiful,
accomplished and gay. Her name is preserved in New Hampshire in the towns of Francestown, Deering
and Wentworth. Her Ladyship died at Sunning Hall, Berkshire, England, February 14th, 1813, aged
68. Sir John Wentworth died at Halifax, N.S., April 8th, 1820, aged 84, and is buried in St. Paul's
Church there, where a tablet exists to his memory. They left one son, Charles Mary Wentworth, who
succeeded to the baronetcy. It was he who presented to Prince Edward the diamond star sent to His
Royal Highness from Nova Scotia. Lady Wentworth's sister married George Brinley, Esquire, Com-
missary and Storekeeper-General at Halifax. One of their daughters was Mrs. Moody, the mother of
Mrs. Gore, the novelist, who, on the death of Sir C. M. Wentworth, in 1844, inherited the “ Prince's
Lodge” estate, at Halifax,

Master of the Trinity House, Montreal, is of Highland Scotch parentage, a direct descen-
dant, on her mother's side, of the Grants of Dulreggan and Corrimony. She married, in
1854, Dr. T. B. Wheeler, of New York, and had six children, only two of whom survive.
Since her husband's death, January ioth, 1901, she has resided wholly in Montreal, for
whose charities she has done noble work, specially for the Ladies' Benevolent Society, of
which she has been a manager for thirty-nine years, and a directress during five. Over
$30,000 have been collected by her for this association. A wing to the Ladies' Benevo-
lent Institution, for the building and furnishing of which she collected the funds, bears
her name, by virtue of a resolution passed by the Society in 1880. Mrs. Wheeler
organized the Montreal Society of Decorative Art in 1879, and served as its first presi-
dent, H.R.H. the Princess Louise, who opened the rooms, becoming its first patroness.
She is still an honorary President of that body. In 1880 she was elected Vice-President
of the Montreal Dramatic Club, which, under the artistic direction of the late Mrs. J. W.
Buckland (9.v.), raised funds for ten years in aid of various city charities. In 1885,
during the rebellion in the North-West, she undertook to collect money to procure hos-
pital supplies for the regiments then on active service, the balance of the moneys so
subscribed and collected being devoted to the purchase of an outfit of underclothing, etc.,
for one hundred and fifty men of the Montreal Garrison Artillery. Her latest service
was rendered, as a member of the Soldiers' Wives' League, in collecting numerous dona-
tions for the troops going to South Africa, and money to minister to those they left at
home. Generous and sympathetic by nature, Mrs. Wheeler is, also, a woman of strong
individuality and wonderful energy. She counts her friends by thousands in every walk
of life. Residence : 123 Metcalfe Street, Montreal.

LADY WHITEWAY.
From a photograph by Parsons, St. John's, Nfld. Kindly furnished by Hon. Mr. Justice
Davidson, Montreal.
Catherine Anne, daughter of the late W. H. Davies, Esquire, of Pictou,
N.S., married, as his second wife, October 22nd, 1872, the Hon. William
Vallance Whiteway, Q.C., a distinguished colonial statesman, who was
Premier of Newfoundland from 1878 to 1885, and again from 1889 to 1897,
was created a K.C.M.G. in 1880, and was called to the Most Honourable Privy
Council in 1897. Of this marriage there is issue three sons and three daughters.
One daughter, Harriet Louise, married, June 2nd, 1897, Peers, eldest son of
the Hon. Mr. Justice Davidson, Montreal. Lady Whiteway accompanied her
husband to England in 1897, on the occasion of Queen Victoria's Diamond
Jubilee, and while in London on that occasion had the honour of being pre-
sented to Her Majesty and of being present with her husband at the Queen's
State ball. Residence : “Riverview," St. John's, Newfoundland.

MRS. E. STONE WIGGINS.
From a photograph taken specially for this work by Topley, Ottawa.
Susie Anna Gunhilda, third daughter of the late Captain Vincent White Wiggins,
of Lakeside House, Waterborough, N.B., and his wife, Charlotte Elizabeth, daughter of
John Wiggins, Esquire, was born April 6th, 1846, and was educated by private tuition.
She is a fine Latin and Greek scholar, and has a perfect mastery of English. She
married, in 1862, her cousin, E. Stone Wiggins, Esquire, who subsequently graduated as
M.D., and became Principal of the Institution for the Education of the Blind at Brant-
ford, Ont. He has also won celebrity in connection with his weather forecasts. Mrs.
Wiggins herself achieved distinction in connection with the measure for the legalization
of marriage with a deceased wife's sister, when it was under discussion in the Canadian
Parliament, in the early eighties. Her letters on that occasion, written in answer to the
objections of the late Archbishop Lewis, attracted widespread attention, and made the
passage of the bill a certainty. “For felicity of expression, cogency of reasoning,
fierceness of invective, keenness of satire and piquancy of style," wrote the late Nicholas
Flood Davin, “nothing equal to them has appeared in the Canadian press for years."
Not content with this service, however, “Gunhilda” went into the lobby of the Senate
and fought a ten days' fight with four bishops of her own church (the Anglican), coming
off the victor. On the day that the bill received its second reading in the Red Cham-
ber, the Speaker (the late Sir David Macpherson) invited her to take a seat on his right,
an honour, it is said, which was never before or has since been accorded to any woman
but the wife of a Governor-General. “What reward," asks “Kit," in dwelling on this
achievement, “did this brave and beautiful woman get for her undoubtedly great work?
Alas! We have a way of forgetting the bread that has been eaten. ... At all
events, let us honour her, and glorify her, and remember her—the lone woman, great,
intellectual, marvellously well-read and cultured, a woman who in her day stirred
Canada as few women have ever stirred her.” It should be added that the Wiggins
family claims descent from Capt. Thomas Wiggins, of Shrewsbury, England, who, in
1630, became first Governor of New Hampshire. Residence: “Arbor House,
Britannia Bay, Ottawa.

MISS WOOD.
From a photograph by Otto, Paris,
Miss Joanna E. Wood, the well-known Canadian novelist, was born in
Lanark, Scotland, and came to Canada, with her parents, when a “wee lassie,"
their home being fixed in the neighbourhood of Niagara Falls. She first
gained attention through her novel, “ Judith Moore," although previous to the
appearance of that book a number of clever short stories from her pen had
appeared in American serials. “The Untempered Wind,” produced in 1894,
is, according to that prince of Canadian critics, George Murray, “a subtle
analysis of village life, with at least two characters that may live in fiction.”
Her subsequent works embrace “The Lynchpin Sensation," "A Daughter of
Witches” (first published in the Canadian Magazine), “Farden Ha'," and
“Unto the Third Generation," all of which have been well received. Miss
Wood travels much, and is even now away from home on a visit to England.
Her portrait has been painted by Miss Sermonda Burrell, Lord Gwydyr's
clever granddaughter. Residence : “ The Heights,” Queenston, Ont.

Margaret, second daughter of John McNaught, Esquire, manufacturer, or
Brantford, Ont., and his wife, a Kirkpatrick of Closeburn, was born in Peu
Pont, Dumfriesshire, but came to Canada when very young. Educated at
Fergus and Brantford, she married, February 11th, 1858, James Young,
Esquire, a prominent journalist and litterateur, who was subsequently returned
to the House of Commons, and, later, became a member of the Ontario Govern-
minent in Government circles during the existence of the Mackenzie Govern-
ment, at Ottawa, and continues to-day to be widely known and respected
throughout Ontario. She has for years taken a prominent part in church,
charitable and social work, in Galt and vicinity, and having read much and
travelled far, is one whose opinion is eagerly sought and highly valued by her
neighbours. Residence : “ Thornhill," Galt, Ont.

For obvious reasons there is
nothing more worthy of your
most serious consideration than
YOUR EYES. The trouble
that to-day is easily remedied,
if neglected may pass beyond
simple measures.
Do you realize this fact?
What then?
Are you wise in procras-
tinating when delays are
dangerous ?

JEWELRY PARLORS
Are a comparatively new departure in Toronto, but
from the patronage extended by the best people in
the city they must be a success. Why? Because we
cater to the best class of Jewelry trade—and have
not the heavy expenses of the other houses-every-
thing pertaining to a first-class Jewelry Store.

A Woman's Store
“The hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world."
CIASTONERAL
THE old saying expresses a truth
which may be applied to the
business world even more directly.
Woman rules everywhere through-
out civilization directly or indi-
rectly, and nowhere are her wants,
wishes and whims catered to more
devotedly than in this big store. It is emphatically a woman's
store, like it should be, since women have the most buying and
providing to do, and the Richmond Street wing, where men's
clothing is sold, is called The Mens' Store, to distinguish it for
that very reason. The store as a whole is a Woman's store.

wi
the first an English word in common use, the second
a proper name; but bo h convey the same idea, and
have done so for more than a quarter of a century.
It is also a matter of comment that the rich
sympathetic tone of the
**GERHARD HEINTZMAN”
is as lasting as the piano itself.
The new designs in casings are models of simplicity
and elegance, and the rare woods used are worthy of
the faultless instruments they embody. :: :: :: ::

Misses Moote 8 High
There are very few Canadian ladies en-
gaged in professional work in Canada
or elsewhere who have achieved the
success that have Misses Moote & High,
proprietors of the Graham Dermato-
logical Institute, of Toronto, which was
established in 1892. These ladies make
a specialty of skin, scalp and complex-
ional troubles, and thousands of women
throughout Canada have had life made
happier by the removal of some dis-
figuring facial blemish, such as a growth
of superfluous hair, ugly moles, a birth-
mark, scars, etc., or a bad case of acne,
eczema, or other skin affection. Grate-
ful letters are daily received from, ladies
(and often from the sterner sex)through-
out Canada saying what grand results
have been obtained using their remedies.
Face treatments, with massage, for re-
juvenating the complexion, removing
wrinkles and restoring the skin; treat-
ments for curing scalp troubles, falling
hair, dandruff, grey hair, etc. Sham-
pooing, manicuring, chiropody, etc., are
other branches of the work. Descrip-
tive literature sent on request by ad-
dressing Dept. L, 502 Church Street.
