John White.

John White, who has been in poor
health for several years, gradually fail
ing the past few weeks, died Saturday
afternoon, August 27, aged sevepty-fve
years and two days. The cause of death
was valvular heart disease.
Mr.. White was born in Limerick.
Ireland, and at the age of ten years
came to Melbourne, Que, where he re-
sided until 1886, when he and his
family moved to Island Pond. He was
a conductor on the Quebec division of
the Grand Trunk System for fifteen
years, also served in the Canadian mill
tia, and being an expert shot won many
trophies.
Here he had charge of the freight
shed, a position he held about twelve
years, and he was noted for his cordial
ity and unfailing courtesy to all with
whom he came in contact He was a
man of social and genial disposition, of
the most scrupulous integrity, and his
word was as good as his bond. His
heart was warm and atfectonate, and
his sympathies were strong, but nothing
could induce him for one moment to
conceal what he believed to be the truth.
An earnest and consistent commupi
cant of Christ Church, he rarely missed
| a service, and lis voice was always heard
in song and praise his inability to at
tend late years caused him deep regret
During his long illness he was ten
DERBY and devotedly cared for by his
daughter Shirley, and her husband, L..
b. Jones, with whom he made his home.
His every wish was anticipated by them.
Funeral services were held at Christ
Church Monday afternoon, the Rev. DR..
Miller officiating. Music was furnished
by mixed quartette, who sang several
of his favorite hymns. There was a
great profusion of beautiful floral trib.
utes, attesting the high esteem in which
Mr. White was held. Places of business
were closed. Interment was in beauti-
full spot in the new cemetery, land he
formerly owned.
He is survived by three daughters,
Mrs. Eta Landry of Winnipeg, Man,
Mrs Fannie Stolte of Buffalo, N. Y,
and Mrs. Shirley Jones, also two sisters
and one brother. His wife, who was
Miss Ellen Going of Wolf Island, Ont,
died at Island Pond April 1899. Her
remains were taken to Melbourne for
burial, but will be returned here shortly
and placed beside her husband. Thus
in death they will not be divided

SAUL IS READY
FOR THE RACE

Saul Halyve, the 19-year-old Moqui

tauges and who is now being matched

broken the worlds amateur record for

months training. With . y months
training under proper coaching so
as not to overdo it, we predict that
he will make for himself name
which will throw all of his past ac-
complishments in the shade.
Saul stated yesterday in regard to
the distance: 81 would rather run
between 10 and 20 miles, because 20
miles is too far However. If they
want to run the full distance. will

THE SMOKER.

Doctors are divided as to whether
smoking is, in itself. good or bad, but
they are unanimous as to the things
that lie in wait for you if you smoke
too much
One of the most curious effects of
oversmokins is one that affects the
eyes. When turning his eyes from
one scene to another the man suffer-
ing from this defect is apt to confuse
the two images.
When attempting to cross the
street at busy corner, for instance,
a motor and a cab may seem to him
to be occupying the same space. And
man who sees traffic only as a con-
fused tumble is in a dangerous con-
dition. The excessive smoking of
tobacco seems, in some mysterious
way to make the retina of the eye re-
tain the picture of an object long
after the eye has ceased to look at
that object
The old belief that excessive smok-
ing brings on cancer of the lip has
been exploded long ago. Smoking
does not cause cancer at all, II. how
ever, there is already tendency to
that disease, smoking may bring it to
a head on the lip.
AS most men smoke too much
know, over-indulgence in tobacco, If
continued for long, may cause a ser
ious weakening of the memory. The
soothing effect, too. produced by
moderate smoking, gives place to irri-
liability. One grows disinclined for
mental exertion of any sort. And
this inability to work is accompanied
by curious restlessness One wants
to work, but cannot
The gums of the heavy smoker
often turn pale. The throat is so
much overworked that it grows weak
and renders its unfortunate owner
unusually subject to colds and
coughs.
All heavy smokers have heard of.
and dread, smokers heart. But few
people seem to know what that is.
1t is not painful in the slightest What
excessive smoking does is to slow the
beating of the heart, and to make 1t
less regular. In fact the heart often
drops one beat in four or five.
Almost all great smokers have this
irregular action of the heart. If your
heart seems to stop for a second now
and then you have 1t, too.
A strange variety of color-blind-
ness is the lot of many man who
smokes too much He finds great
difficulty in distinguishing between
a sixpence and a half-sovereign. This
sometimes comes on quite sudd emily.
However, there is one great con-
ISOLATION for this. as for almost all the
other evil results of over-indulgence

CHICAGO-NEW YORK
AIRSHIP LINE NEXT

Mineola, L. L., June 2S.-Count
Zeppelin's feat of inaugurating a pas
senger-carrying Nairship line may soon
be duplicated in the United States, if
the hopes of Captain Thomas S. Bald
win, who built the United States
army drigible No. / are fulfilled.
Given the necessary capital, Captain
Baldwin is confident that a fleet of
dirigibles could be put into commits
sion within three months to travel on
a regular schedule between New York
and Chicago.
In spite of Zeppelin's success,
said Captain Baldwin. in an interview,

type. By this | mean the balloon
type made of rubber silk instead of
an aluminium envelope. with many
compartments. The bags, measuring
$50 feet, would hold 10000 cubic
feet of hydrogen gas in three com
partments.
Personally, | think the first diri-
gible to make the trip will be the
smallest in the world ever built for
endurance work. In my opinion this
craft will not be over $50 feet long
and will be driven by a fifty-horse
power engine.
