The Harry Tinsley Room.

The ladies of the Kings Daughter S
Hospital are fitting up room to be
named after the late Harry Tinsley.
They are asking aid and we learn that
one liberal minded and charitable per
son alone has given 500 toward it.
Others of course will contribute. Mr..
Tinsley died in 1902 after long illne S
and great suffering. He left his entire
estate to this hospital, which, though
not large, amounted to several thou
sand dollars, and this room is to be
named as memorial to him. At the
time his legacy came the hospital was
in great need, it came as boon and
from that time it felt its permanancy,
and since then has greatly developed in
strength and usefulness. 1t is the
source of daily charity. Nothing in
StauntOn is comparable to it in the
genuineness of its good work, or the
scope of its relief of suffering. 1t is
amazing to see what it does every day.
Persons who would be helpless in theil
efforts to be relieved of sickness and
pain, are here tenderly treated and re-
ceive the best medical attention. Those
who have the means and are inclined
to assist in real charity, need have nc
fear of wasting their means here. Sew
eral rooms in the hospital are endowed,
others have been furnished by individ-
uals, the Harry FINLEY room will be
furnished by subscription. 1t is always
pleasure to us to commend the actions
of the ladies who give much of their
time and means to this our greatest
charity, among whom are Mrs. Robert
NJ. Guy, Mrs. c. R. Caldwell, Mrs. E.
J.. Gushing, Mrs. c. c. Wheat, Mrs. J.
Mason Miller and many others.

Canadians have presented some insur-
mountable objection. Now, however,
the japanese sealers have so far mo-
nopolized the industry, if it may be
dignified by that name, that it has be-
come quite improbable to the Canadi-
ans and it is expected that they will
themselves reopen the negotiations with
the United States which they former
ly and not too politely ended. Pelagic
sealing, it may be explained, is the
practice of shooting the adult seals
three miles or more out at sea. The
jurisdiction of the United States ends
at three mile limit, but when the moth
er seals are sucking young they are
compelled to swim more than that dis
lance in order to secure sufficient food,
their food consisting of the larger fish.
The pelagic sealers shoot them as they
swim and the result is that the I'M
weaned pups, as they are called, wait
for the return of the mother and, per-
fectly helpless, gradually starve to
death, for no seal will adopt an orphan
pup. If they were an International So
ciety for the prevention of crnelty to
animals it could not devote itself to a
more worthy cause than the abolition
of this cruel method of taking seals.
