IKTRODUCTION.
T: <:'
HE plan of this work is unique and the conception original. There are biographies
in abundance, but this appears to be the only Album on a national scale in this or any
other country. Its title, THE CAX.\DlAN ALnnl: :\h:x OF CAXADA, is suggestiye of its
plan and scope, but it might well haye been called .. The Canadian Biographical Album,"
for this it really is. The u
efulness and desirahility of such a work can be readily seen.
By that large class of persons spoken of as .. the public," it should be highly appreciated.
On e\'ery hand it is felt that the sources of information concerning TilE
lE:'< OF CAXAIJ \
are yery limited. Those who are rightly classed among the leaders of thought and action
in the towns, cities. townships, and counties of Canada, as well as in the pro\'inces, and in
the Dominion itself, are not so well known as is desirable or necessary. How often one's
mind seeks information concerning an individual who has suddenly become conspicuous
in church or state? \\[10 is he? \Yhere did he come from? How old is he? \\'hat are
his antecedents? His age? His business or professional education? His past attainments
and present standing? And, finally, his personal appearance?
This work proposes to answer these questions hriefly, hut accurately, in sober prose,
and in cold type, like any other condensed biography. Rut it does not end here by any
means. It brings to its aid the poetry of the artist. with the skill of the engranr, thus
transferring the ....ery image of the man to the printed page, so that he may, as it were,
speak for himself and answer all our queries.
The next best thing to seeing and cOI1\'ersing with a man is to see his portrait, espe-
cially if a pen picture accompanies it as in the present plan.
The benefit conferred upon the country by the publication of thi'i work will be the
more readily seen when the plans of the publishers are considered. If carried out in their
entirety. the enterprise will not only he gigantic in its proportions, but a henefit to the
people that can scarcely be o....eresti
ted. Taking the population of Canada roughly at
fiye millions, and supposing that about one man to a thousand of the population is a
representath'e man, there are fi\'e thousand men who onght to find a place in THE
CA;S-ADlA
ALBr'l. This would 1t1\.ol....e the publication of se\'en \'olumes with a little
oyer seyen hundred men in each. To this task the publishers ha\'e set themseh-es, and
from their past record, they will doubtless succeed. Thus THE
h:x 01' C.\XAD.\, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, will lh'e in our homes, telling the story of their lives, exerting
the influence of those qualities of head and heart which haye distinguished them, gi\'ing
inspiration and entertainment to the young, and affording companionship for those of riper
years, gi....ing lessons in experience and a knowledge of human nature which cannot be
found with similar fulness in any other ....olume. 1\01' does the value of this work end in
sentiment only, important as that is. It has a business and a profes!>ional \'alue. It will
he equally in place in the lihraries of the learned professions as on the husiness man's
desk. How important to ha\'e a knowledge of the men with whom We do business?
Mercantile reports are good so far as they go, hut the) gi\'e a man's financial .. rating"
only, and prh'ate reports are often necessary to find out who and what the man is. There

is a felt need to know more about men than is indicated by their mercantile standing,
hecause there are often other than business reasons which make information necessary.
Character, capacity and capital are the qualities which tell the story of a man's worth,
and, as a rule, the second .. capacity" is a product of the first, while the third, "capital,"
is generally a result of the second. Still, as capital is only an incident in the life of a
man of character and capacity, and not a necessary part of it, this work deals with the
man himself-his character and capacity-so that those who desire such information have
only tu consult its pages, and by the aid of its copious index, they are at once made
conversant with the man in all the phases of his life.
_-\ man carries his character in his face to a much greater extent than is generally
supposed. One look at a faithful portrait will often tell the story more than many pages
of print. "-hile physiognomy has hardly yet attained the dignity of a science, yet there
is a well founded belief that there is an intimate connection between the features and
expression of the face and the qualities and habit of the mind, and every man is conscious
of instinctively drawing conclusions in this way for himself with more or less confidence,
and of acting upon these conclusions. to a certain extent, in the affairs of life.
The family alhum has now becume a household necessity, and very properly so. For
similar reasons this "X ational Album" should also be a household necessity. "" e want
our friends ever with us, and here they ale-archbishops, bishops, moderators, general
superintendents, presidents of churches and their various assemblies, synods, conferences,
and conventions, together with our pastor5 and teachers. Here are our legal friends of the
Bench and the Bar; those of the medical profession, our educationists, merchants. manufac-
turers and leading agriculturists. Statesmen of the Provincial Legislatures and the
Dominion Parliament; public men and private citizens meet and greet us here from all
parts of our fair Duminion. The East meets the "-est, and the middle provinces embrace
both; space is annihilated, and each man visits every other man around his own hearth-
stone. in the library or in the office.
Th:s is not a work of fulsome praise, but of facts. The man is a fact; his birth,
education, professional cr business training, early experiences, marriage, present position,
church standing, and relation to the cumItry as regards office or influence. These are
matters not only gratifying to one's friends, but which no good man need blush to read
concerning himself. On the other hand, the public have a right to know these facts con-
cerning representative men. This kind of information is furnished within these pages, and
so far as the fads are concerned, they have been verified by the men themselves, with ,'ery
few exceptions, and are thus reliable. For the additional comments here and there, the
editor and the publishers are alone responsible. :Kot every man fitted for a place in these
pages will be found in this first volume, not even, perhaps, from the territory covered by it.
but in future volumes it is the intention to include the entire Dominion and supply def..-
ciencies in tht: territory herein represented.

N. \\'ILFRED LATRIER,
B.C.L., A.C., P.C., l\I.P., and
:; leader üf the Liberal party
of the Dominion, was born Km;ember
24th, 1841, at St. Lin, L'Assomptioll,
Quebec. He comes of an old and dis-
tinguished family. After finishing his
literary studies at the College L'As-
somption, he entered the law office of
the Hon. R. Laflamme. He was called
to the Bar of Lower Canada in 1865,
ha\'ing taken in the pre\'ious year the
degree of B.C,L. at l\IcGill rni\'ersity.
In 1880 he was appointed O .C, From
an early age l\Ir. Laurier took a deep
interest in public questions, and also

gaye his attention to literature and
journalism. He was an earnest ad\.o-
cate of temperance, and delegate to the
Dominion Prohibitory Conyention of
1875. In 1871 he began public life by
being elected to the Legislati\'e Assem-
bly of the Proyince of
uebec. He
remained there until 1874, when he en-
tered the House of Commons. At once
on taking his seat his brilliant abilities
and high character ""ere acknowledged.
\\"hen ::\Ir. :\fackenzie was called upon
to form an administration, the portfolio
of Inland Re\"enue was assigned him.
Since that time l\Ir. Laurier has been
one of the most prominent and highly
respected members of the
House. An unflinching
supporter of the Opposition,
under the Hon. Edward
Blake as leader, whom he
\\Oas unanimousl y called
upon to succeed. Since
that time his exceptional
ability , gentlemanly con-
duct, and comprehensi \'e
grasp of pn blic affairs, has
secured for him, not only
the admiration of the
Liberal party, but the re-
spect of the gm;ernmel1t
now in power. As a speaker
he appears as one who re-
cognÌ/es responsibility at-
taching to e\'ery word he
utters. He speaks with a
\'ery pure French accent,
and is a most effcctiye de-
batcr. During- the political
campaign of IS9I his labors
were most abundant and
successful, especially in his
üwn pro\"Ínce, where he
changed the Go\'crnment
majority into a minority.

SIR DANIEL \\:I
SONJ
LL.D., F.R.S.E., pre-
sident of rniversity Col-
lege, Toronto, was born
in the ancient metropolis
of Scotland in I
h6. After
passing through the High
School, he entered the uni-
versity of his native city.
At the age of twenty-one
he betook himself to Lon-
don to push his fortunes
there. After a residence of
several years, during which
he relied for support chiefly
on the rewards of literary
work, he again turned his
face north\\'ard and conti-
nued to wield the pen in
Edinburgh. Sir Daniel was
also then, and still is, dis-
tinguished by an ardent
love for archæological stu-
dies; and naturally gravi-
tated towards the society of
antiquaries. Before his de-
parture from Scotland three
works proceeded from his
pen--" l\Iemorials of Edin-
burgh in the Olden Time,"
"Oliver Crom\\"ell and the
Protectorate," and "The
Archæology and Prehistoric Annals of
Scotland." This volume received the
wannest praise from reviewers, both in
Britain and _\merica. In ISS3 he \Vas
im'ited to accept the chair of History
and English Literature in rniversity
College, Toronto. In 1862 his new
work appeared-i' Prehistoric Man;
Researches into the Origin of Civili-
zatiou in the Old and Kcw \\'orId;"
" Chatterton; A Biographical Study,"
W3S published iu 1869; "Calitan, the
:\Jissing Link," appeared in 1873, and
during the same year he republished
a col1ection of poems entitled" Spring
Flowers." In 1878 Sir Daniel issued

his most recent \\'ork, " Reminiscences
of Old Edinburgh." In addition to
these works, he has contributed a num-
ber of articles, both to the eighth and
niuth editions of the "Encyclopædia
Britannica." Sir Daniel is connected
\\.ith various public institutions in
Toronto, such as the Bo\'s' Home, the
Newsboys' Home, and In the Young
:\Ien's Christian Association he has
takcn an acti\'e part, and was for somc
years its president. He is an earnest
member of the Chnrch of England and
an ardent adherent of the E\'angelical
party, but his sympathies are too broad
to be contained in anyone church.

.. horn on September lith. 1816.
in Dublin, Ireland. His father was
examiner of Her l\Iajesty's Court of
Prerogatiye for Ireland. After the
careful training of a priyate school. he
entered Trinity College. where he com-
pleted his education. He came to
Toronto in 1834. entered the la\\" office
of the late Gemge Dugg-an in IS35,
and \\"as called to the Bar in 1840.
He at once began practice in Toronto,
and in 1846 entered into partnership
with the late John Cra\\.ford. His first
appearances at the Bar gm"e promise of
a brilliant future, and he
soon acquired a large and
1 ucrati ye practice. I n 1850
he \\"as made
,C. by the
Baldwin administration. In
r856, a yacancy occnrring
on the Bench, he \\'as offered
the appointment, which he
accepted. He was not less
distinguished among his
brother judges than he had
been at the Bar, so that
when. in 1868, a \"acancy
occnrred in the Chief J ns-
ticeship of Common Pleas,
he was ele\'ated to that
office. In his judgments
Chief Justice Hagarty
shows a wide knowledge
of law, a thorough grasp
of principles, and a fear-
lessness in the discharge of
duty. They are all111arked
by careful thonght and ela-
borate research. In addi-
tion to his high judicial
abilities, his Jlame is not
unfamiliar to the loyers of
hdlrs Irllr{'s in connection
with his poetical contribu-
tions from time to time.
Indeed. it has been said,
that in Chief Justice Hagarty" a good
poet was sacrificed to the la\\ yer and
the jndge." \\"1th general literature
he is also thoroughly familiar. and
there is a thri11 of literan' fen-or in
his conyersation when he -meets with
congenial spirits. Among the many
eminent men \\"110 haye gi\-en grace
and dignity to the Bench in Canada.
Chief J nstice Hagarty occnpies the
yery front rank. .-\part from his
eminent j ndicial abilities, he is held
in the highest esteem by a11 classes
in the Dominion, and in his position
as Chief Justice he com mands the con-
fidence of the BelH:h and the Bar.

on the 13th October, 1833.
\\"hen Edward was a few
months old his father re-
moved to Toronto. As a
lad he gave evidence of
great mental powers. He
was an ol1l11ivorol1s reader,
had unusual capacity for as-
similation, and an excellent
memory. He was a suc-
cessful competitor for the
Governor - General's prize,
and subsequently entered
the Torouto Cniversity.
He was admitted as attorney
in IS56, and the following

to the bar. lIe carried on
business for some time
alone, and then entered in-
to partnership with l\Ir.

Thereafter, the name of the
firm many times changed.
I n I 858 he married l\Iar-
gan
t, daughter of the late
Bishop Cronyn, of Huron.
Ever since IS67 the Reform party re-
cognized what a gain it would be to add
Edward Blake's ability and high char-
acter to its ranks. After mlIch earnest
solicitation he consented to their request
and was elected to the HOl1se of COlll-

LIA:\1 MAGILL, Toronto,
Gnt., was born in Dublin,
Ireland, on the 8th of February, 1823,
his father, John .Magill, being a
resident of that city. He was married
on the 21St of January, 1862, to Char-
lotte Ballard, daughter of the Rev.
Thomas Ballard, 'V esleyan minister,
Mr.
[agill received his early education
in Dublin, and sen'ed four years in the
study of civil engineering, At the age
of twenty he began his career as a
teacher, having graduated from the
Dublin
onnal School, and taught for
seven years. During that period he
was offered a position in one of the
,
,
51
Normal Schools. After this he be-
came the manager of estates, continu-
ing thirteen years in that occupation.
In 1866 he came to Canada and settled
in Toronto. After a time he took
charge of the Academy, formerly con-
ducted by the Rev. Alex, "ïlliams,
:\LA. In 1871 he removed his estab-
lishment to Simcoe street, where he
opened a boarding and day school, and
ga"e himself exclusively to the train-
ing of boys for the higher walks of
professional life, and preparing them
for the entrance examinations to the
different colleges. Many hundreds of
the chief business men of Toronto
were trained in Mr. l\la-
gill's school, and no man is
more favorably known. In
1\[r. l\1agill's day the faci-
lities for higher education,
now prO\oided, were not
within the reach of yonng
Canadians, and, in the
opinion of some, it is stil1
held that the individual
training of boys in such
schools was superior to what
is now received in many
cases in government insti-
tutions. '\"hile the classes
were not so large, and the
competition, possibly, not
so great, there was the ad-
vantage of individual con-
tact between master and
pupil for a longer period
than at the present day.
In his professional work
:\[r. :\ragill has been ably
assisted by his wife as
teacher of French. music,
drawing. English literature,
etc. 1\1 r. :\[agill is a
member of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. and
also of various benevolent
societies.

HE LATE JACOB D_-\XIELS.
whose portrait appears on this
page, was born in Blenh-=im Township,
Oxford County, Ont., on December 9th,
1834, and died September 18th, 1890.
He was married in the year 1854 to
Ellen .:\Ioore. who, with one son
and two daughters, sun,i,"e him. He
learned the business of a saddler and
harness maker at Dundas and became
an expert workman. After his mar-
riage he started business for himself at
Drnmbo in the year 1855, and carried
it on with growing success for eleyen
years. He then lost all he had through
fire, but with unbounded energy and
,
57
good credit started business again. In
the yeår 1867 he mO\"ed to the city of
Brantford and commenced business
there, and from that time to the day of
his death, was oue of the steady. up-
right, much esteemed. and successful
business men of the city. l\Ir.
Daniels was c01l\'erted in ã reyiyal
meeting and joined the :\Iethodist
Church while at Drumbo early in
his married life. He became an
earnest Christian man, erected the
family altar, on which he neyer per-
mitted the fires to cease burning uutil
he was called hence. He took a
prominent part in church matters
from the beginning, and, on
his remO\"al to Brantford.
he joined the ""ellington
Street l\Iethodist Church.
He was trustee, class leader
and steward for many years,
a right hand man to the
yarious pastors, and a pillar
in the church. He was
always at his post o!" duty.
and by his sterling. un-
ostentatious piety, made
friends of all the
mem bers
of the church and cOllgre-
gation. In his death the
city of Brantford has lost
one of its oldest and most
respected business men.
and the ""ellington Street
:'.Iethodist Church one of
its efficient officials and
most exemplary members.
while the cause of Christ
on earth is depriyed of the
example and work of a
true man. It is to be de-
youtly hoped that his
mantIc will fall n pon his
son Arthur, who is now
conducting the husiness so
long and honorahh- carried
on by his :ather. -

tors were iT. E. Loyalists,
who preferred pionee-ring in
Canada under the old flag
to citi/enship under the
Stars and Stripes. He '\"as
educated in Toronto, and
took away from the schools
ample kt;owledge for a suc-
cessful business life. Bank-
ing ha\"ing most attractions
for him, he entered the
Bank of Toronto as clerk
in IS6I, and after gi\"ing
proof of industrious habits
and excellent business
ability, he was appointed
manager of the branch at
Port Hope. This position he e
held until ISj6, ".hen he re-
tired from banking life and
was chosen to the manage-
ment of the London and
()ntario In \'estment Com-
pany, where he has re-
mained as the head of this
important business e\"er
since. It need hardly be
said that he is regar
led by all wh0
know him as a man of rare business
habits, energetic and pushing, ,,'hile at
the same time possessed of a clear head
and sound judgment. He has in his
\'eins a mixture of the Irish and Scotch
elements, which, "hen properly blend-
cd, are of rare \'alue to public mcn-
the impetuosity and fire of thc one
being tempered and restrained by the
cool judgment and caution of the other.

cation for Ontario, was born
near Kairn, in the County
of
Iiddlesex, on the IRth
of September, 1841. He is
of Scotch parentage, a fact
that doubtless accounts for
his indomitahle perse\"er-
ance in reaching his present
responsible position. In
boyhood he attended the
pu-blic schools. and in 1
57
obtained a third-class county
certificate, on \,-hich he
taught two years. In IRS9
he obtained a second-class,
and in 1876 a first-class cer-
tificate. Two years later he
attended the

appointed Puhlic School In-
spector for Lambton, and
subsequently also for the
towns of Petrolea and
Strathroy. \nIile inspector
he was the recipient of pre-
sentations and addresses for
his marked ability. After
this he de\"oted his attention to the
establishment of County Model schools,
which ha\'e been of such \"alue in late
years. For a time 1\1 r. Ross engaged
in journalism on the Stlathrt

knowledge of public questions being of

sion. He also condncted, along with

Fl'lldll'r. In 1879 he turned his atten-
tion to law and obtained the degree
of LL.B. from Albert tTni\"ersity, and
more recently has been admitted to the
Bar. In Reform politics he has long
been a prominent figure. He was first

elected
.r.P. for \\Test Middlesex in
18ï2, l\,'O years afterwards by acclama-
tion, and again returned in I8ï8 and
ISS2, although in the following year
he lost his seat for the alleged bribery
of agents. In Ko\"ember, 1:-;83, he was
appointed 1\Iinister of Education and

Baptists and men of eminell
clhility. In his sixteenth
year his father, :\Ir. .\lall-
son Harris, lllo\'ed to Beams-
\'ille, where John attended
the grammar school. In
his eighteenth year he made
a . profession of faith and
lIilited with the Baptist
Church in that place. On
the 14th of Octoher, I X63,
he was married to Alice
Jane Tufford, who still
sUr\'i\'es him. ,\fter his
marriag-e he entered into
partnership with his father,
under the style of A.
Harris & Son, and the
business ha \'ing increased
rapidly, they remm.ed in IS72 to
I3rantford, where the firm was en-
larged and styled hy its present
name. He enjoyed the sincere affec-
tion of the hundreds of his \\ orkmen,
and, as one remarked at his death,
"Seemed more an)",ious concerning-their
spiritual \\.elfarc than their \\"Urk or
\
'ages.!J He occupied important offices
in the church, and taug-ht a large Bible
class. He was president of the V oung-

health compelled him to desist from
some of his manifold Christian duties.
Hoping- that a sea yoyage \\ mIld estah-
lish his health, he went to England,
and suhsequently to Clifton Springs,
K.Y., but all these efforts were 1111a\'ail-
ing. On the 6th of August he returned
to his h01ne, where he lingered on the
horder land before he crossed the Jordan
of death, speaking lm.ing words to his
famil y and friends. During- his trying
sickness he ne\'er murmured, hut waited
\\ ith Christian patience the time of his
departure. He has left behind a pre-
cious memory and an e,ample of honor
and Christian manhood.

:\Iarkham. on December 5th,
rSS2. He recei\"ed his primary educa-
tion at the public schools in Toronto.
For a long period he was nnder the
decpest religious com iction and felt
caIIed upon to enter the ministry.
although ha\"ing a dread of its respon-
sibility and his unfitness for the sacred
calling. Finally, while attending a
cottage prayer meeting. the burden on
his heart rolled away and he returned
to his father in Toronto, telling him of
the great change that had taken place.
He began work under the Re\". James
Hannon. in Toronto. and
afterwards attended the Col-
lqÓate Institute at Cobourg.
Eighteen months afterwards
he matriculated in Victoria
Pni\"ersity and entered the
class of r872. Next year,
on account of family afflic-
tion. he was called home.
and in rS74 was recei\"ed as a
probationer for the ministry
by the l\IethodistConference
in Hamilton. and ""as as-
signed to the Port Hope
District. He also tra \,eIled
in the Sunderland and Port
Perry Circuits. He then
returned to \ïctoria. where
he graduated as valedic-
torian of the class of r S8ü.
The same ,"ear he was or-
dained at B
lle\'iIIe and was
sent to Bradford. After this
he filled appointmeuts at
Toronto. Barrie. aud finally
at Agnes Street Church,
Toronto. This church was
at the time of the union
hea\"ily mortgaged. hut
under :\Ir. \\ïlkinson's pas-
torate the deht was reduced
from sixteen thousand to
six thousand dollars.
nd a thousand
souls con\"erted in three Years. After
completing his three year
' term in this
church. he went to Britain to study
E\"angelistic methods. and returning i;l
r889. opened his favorite l\Iissioll
knO\nl as the "People's Tabernacle,"
which is cro\\,ded to its full seating
capacity of two thousand. The l\Iission
so far is entirely undenominational,
and is snpported by the collection and

born on the 9th of Xon:mber, 1831, at
Brisbon, London, Eng. He was edu-
cated at John Boyd's Academy, Toronto,
in \V. H. Coombe's, and the District
Grammar School, Kingston, and other
private schools. He receiyed a thorough
English education, and also a course in
Latin. (The late Chief Justice Harri-
son and Erastus \\ïman were his school-
mates at Harte's Academy.) In early
life he had a strong predilection for
music and art, but the death of his
parents preyented the gratification of
his desires. In 1849, under
the appeals of John 13.
Gough, he became a total
abstainer. He entered the
Toronto Post Office in 1847,
when fifteen years of age,
the entire staff at that time
consisting of postmaster,
three clerks and a letter
carrier. His salary for three
years was only 5 I 60, and
the labor, including Sunday,
se\'ere. He was appointed
chief clerk of the Con-
sumers' Gas Co. in 1854,
secretary in 1874, and gen-
eral manager in 1X87.

refused to work on the

preaching of Rey. James

it was closed in I8X8. He
taught in the Sunday School
six years, and was superin-
tendent O\er thilty. Dur-
ing this period the school was signally
blessed by numerous conversions, many
of whom entered the ministry. For
some years the school was the largest
in Canada. Numerous testimonials
presented to him showed ho\\" his labors
were valued. l\Ir. Pearson has been a
class leader for 36 years, trustee and
delegate to Conference, and for 35 years
has given a IOth of his income to the

' (: )x. ARTHrR S. H.-\RDY,
.C., was born at Mohawk,
· Ontario, Brant County, ou
December 14th, 1837. He is descended
from U.E. Loyalists on both sides, and
is a son of the late Russell Hardy,
formerly of Brantford, and latterly of
London, Ont. ì\Ir. Hardy was edu-
cated at the County of Brant Grammar
School, at the Priyate Academy kept
for some years by the Rev. \V. \\Y.
Xelles, Mohawk, and at Rockwood
Academy. He was called to the Bar of
Ontario in IX65, was appointed a
.C.
in I X76, and is a Bencher of the Law
Society of Ontario. From the yery
) ,
outset it was safe to predict a brilliant
and yigorous professional career for
l\Ir. Hardy, for lIe had conspicuous
natural brilliancy. He was daring,
and had fire and unusual mental alert-
ness. He soon became llead of the
Bar in his county. He was first re-
turned to the Legislatiye Assembly for
his present seat in 1873 on the resigna-
tion of the sitting member, was re-
elected by acclamation at the general
election in 1875, appointed Proyincial
Secretary and Registrar in l\Iarch,
IX77, at which time he was re-elected
by acclamation, and also re-elected at
the general elections of 1879, ISS3,
IXS7, and 1890. Upon the
resignation of the Hon. T.
B. Pardee, he was in J an uary,
1889, appointed Commis-
siOller of Crown Lands.
I Ie is one of the strongest
members in the l\IO\\'at ad-
ministration, and has no
superior in the House as a
ready and effectiye speaker.
1\Ir. Hardy was married on
Jannary loth, IS70, to 1\Iary.
daughter of the late l\Ir.
Justice l\Iorrison,ofToronto.
He is not only thoroughly
Canadian from both sides,
but is specially a County of
Brant man, his mother's
family haying settled in
Brant County about the
year 1800, and his father's
family haying come to the
county a few year's after.
I r. Hardy's children arc
the sixth generation of the
family who ha\-e died, or
were born, and are liying in
the county. South Brant is
proud of -her representati\'e
in the Local House, and from
appearahces willlike1y con-
tillue the honor.

much tra\"elling on horse-

comforts of religion to the
people and accomplishing a
heroic work. After this he
\\as appointed rector of St.
Peter's Cathedral, Peter-

pastoral ability will doubtless secure
for him still lllore promineut positions
in his church. He was married on the
5th of April, 18ïI, to Sarah Alice Bird,

) OHX JOSEPH VICKERS,
Toronto, late proprietor of
"Vickers' Express," and pre-
sident of the Yickcrs' Express Com-
pany (Limited), was born in Dublin,
Ireland, in ISIS. His fathcr held a
gO\'ernment position in the treasury
department in Dublin for many years.
:\lr. Vickcrs recei\'ed his education in
Dublin, and, when a young man, en-
tered the sen-ice of the City of Dublin
Steam Packet Company, where he re-
maincd se\'eral years. He sailed to
. \ merica in I S49 and entered the ser-
\,ice of the Howard Steamship Company
in Xcw York cit,.. where he remained
for two years.
Hm'ing
heard of the splendid agri-
cultural prospects of Canada,
he determined to tn' farm-
ing, and accordingI); mO\cd
to the Bay of Quinte dis-
trict, and settled on a farm
in Prince Edward Counh",
()ntario, but after fo1l0wÜi"g
the pursuit for line year, he
abandoncd it and mon
d to
Toronto, and in I8

gaged with the Anîerican
Express Company, with
whom he remained two
years. In 1854 the Korthern
Railway of Canada was
opened for traffic, and 1\11'.
\ïckers cmharked in the
express business on his own
account, continuing until
1888, when he sold the busi-
ncss to the American Ex-
prcss Co. Since his scttle-
mcnt in Toronto, he has
takcn an acti\'e interest in
a1l that concerns the city's

alderman in 1864 and re-
maincd in the council until
I8ïo. In 1858 he \'isitcd
thc Lake Su perillr district
in the first steamer to Thundcr Bay,
and belie\'ing that the Kaministiquia
Ri\'er would, in the future, be a grcat
harbor, he purchased a large portion of
the ri\'cr frontage, and owing to the
extension of thc Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, which now rnns through the
greater portion of it, he has a yery
yalnable franchise. 1\11'. Vickers is

he graduated, and subsequently a

He was educated at the

he commenced his rail,,'ay
career as a newsboy on t1;e

and for many years past
that of passenger conductor,
all of \d1Ïch he filled with
satisfaction to the railway
company and pleasure to tl;e

born of Godly parents, and
nurtured in a Christian

for many years after - com-

Christian, ceased not during
all this time to pray for the

and, after e1e\"en years of patient" ait-

Snider responded to the Spirit's call.

of this, the greatest en'nt of his life,
and especially desires that this sketch
shall gi\"e all possihle prominence to

NO)J, St. Catharines,
-- Ont., was born on
the 19th of September, 1854,
at Owen Sound, Onto His
father was the late Re\'.
John McKinnon, Presby-
terian minister, who sen'ed
the church at Carleton Place
and Owen Sound for a num-
ber of years. He died when
the subject of our sketch
was bu t ten years of age,
and the family were kept
together and educated by
the mother, with t1Ie help
of the eldest son. who is
now superintendent of the
Industrial SchO()1 at
Iilllico.
:\1r.
1cKinnon recei\ed his
education at the Grammar
School, Carletou Place. and
O\\'en Sound High School.
and at the age of fourteen
eOIllmenced work at the
hard ware business with Mr.
Kough, of Owcn Souud.
After ser\'ing a term of four
years there, hp removed to
St. Catharines and engaged
in the same business \\.ith
11r. Jeffrey, with whom he
remained three years. A partnership
wa:-> then entered into under the finn
name of 1\k Kinnon &. Co., which took
in the carriage hardware department of
:\Ir. J effrey's lmsiness. In the year
Ið7R Mr. 1\1cKinnon bought out 1\11".
Jeffrey's interest, and fonncd a partner-
ship with 1\1r. 1\litchell under the name
of :\[cKinnon & 1\litchell. This firm
existed for ten years, when it was dis-
soh'ed, :\1r. Mc Kill1lOll taking the manu-
facturing' department, which had been
commcnced in IRS!. The businc!o.s is
still carried on by him alonc under the
namc of 1\kKinnon, Dash &. Hardware
Co,. which is also the n.lllle of a hranch
'\.
,
company in Buffalo, K.Y.. which he
established in I SS7. Both of these
concerns have been eminently success-
ful, owing largely to sc\'eral patents on
articles man ufacturcd by them, issued
to 1\[r. l\IcKinnon in Canada and the
rnited States. The extensi\'e business
now controlled bv him is the result of
his thorough kn;wledge of the require-
mcnts of his trade, the marked ability
displayed in conducting it, and the iIÍ-
creasing energy so IlOticeal>le in his
\\. hole career. 1\1 r. l\1c Kin non was
married in February, ISiS. to :\1iss
Emma E. . \rmstrong. and he is blessed
with a happy home and family.

In the year 1886 he assumed
the editorial control of tht:
Catholic Rccord, published
at London, Ont., and he has
continued in that position
since. Since his connection
with this paper, it has
greatly impro\'ed from a
literary standpoint, and its
circulation has increased to
such an extent that it has
now the largest circulation
of any Catholic paper in
the Dominion. Tn the year
1fiSS Father Xorthgra,'es
published his celebrated
book, "The Mistakes of

a reply to Robert Ingersoll.
This book, ,dIÌch bears e"i-
dence of the highest theo-
logical and classical learn-
ing, has already reached
three editions, and is re-
garded as the best work of the kind that
has been written in defence of Chris-
tianity during this generation. It has
received cxhausti\'(
commendations,
both from the secular and religions
press of Catholic and Protestant de-
nominations, and from eminent scholars
of all creeds as well. This work is in-
tended to supply the Christian public
with a handbook which "iU answer
the most mischievous of modern scep-

inspiration of Holy Scripture, and it
furnishes a reliable synop
