Head Master
The
Royal Military College
of Canada
THERE are few national institutions of more value and in
terest to the country than the Royal Military College of
Canada. Notwithstanding this, its object and the work
it is accomplishing are not sufficiently understood by the
general public. I
The College is a Government Institution, designed primarily
for the purpose of giving instruction in all branches of military
science to cadets and officers of the Canadian Militia. In fact,
it corresponds to Woolwich and Sandhurst.
The Commandant and military instructors are all officers on
the active list of the Imperial Army, lent for the purpose, and
there is in addition a complete staff of professors for the civil sub
jects which form such an important part of the College course.
Medical attendance is also provided.
Whilst the College is organized on a strictly military basis,
the cadets receive a practical and scientific training in subjects
essential to a sound modern education.
The course includes a thorough grounding in Mathematics,
Civil Engineering, Surveying, Physics, Chemistry, French and
English.
The strict discipline maintained at the College is one of the
most valuable features of the course, and in addition, the constant
practice of gymnastics, drill and outdoor exercises of all kinds
secures health and excellent physical condition.
Commissions in all branches of the Imperial Service and Cana
dian Permanent Force are offered annually.
The diploma of graduation is considered by the authorities
conducting the examination for Dominion Land Surveyor to be
equivalent to a university degree, and by the regulations of the
Law Society of Ontario, it obtains the same exemptions as a
B.A. degree.
The length of the course is three years, in three terms of 9
months each.
The total cost of the course, including board, uniform, instruc
tional material, and all extras, is about $800.
The annual competitive examination for admission to the
College takes place in May of each year, at the headquarters of
the several military districts.
For full particulars regarding this examination and for any
other information, application should be made to the Secretary
of the Military Council, Ottawa, Ont.; or to the Commandant,
Royal Military College, Kingston, Ont. ! January. 1912

1S78, " The Dominion Annual Register and Review," which he like
wise edited and published, annually, up to 1887.
" More general contributions to history are the works of the Abbe Faillon, of Mr.
Parkman, of Dr. Scadding, of the Abbe Laverdiere, of Sir J. M. Le Moine, of Judge
Haliburton, of Mr. Fennings Taylor, of Dr. Miles, of the Abbe Casgrain, of Col. Gray,
of Mr. Louis Turcotte, of Mr. Charles Lindsey, of Dr. George Stewart, and of Dr. H. J.
Morgan. We might add very largely to this list, which serves rather to show the variety
of ways in which historical talent may be advantageously occupied than to sum up what
has been accomplished. Of all these writers there is none who is more deserving of the
gratitude of his fellow-citizens than the last-mentioned. Hardly a day passes, indeed,
in which we, as journalists, do not refer for information to some of Dr. Morgan s various
stores of information, and rarely do we refer to them in vain." Montreal Gazette,

PREFACE.
THE first edition of " Canadian Men and Women of the Time "
appeared in 1898. It comprised a volume of 1,118 pages, royal
octavo, and included, approximately, 2,891 sketches of living char
acters. Of these over 900, or almost 33 per cent., have since died.
The volume met with a warm reception and was more than ordin
arily successful. Its circulation was large, and extended to the re
motest corners of the world. It was and is to be found in all the
principal public libraries of Europe, Asia and America, as well as in
a great many private collections. It was largely used by the news
paper press, mostly, however, without acknowledgment, a species of
plagiarism into which a portion of the Fourth Estate seems to have
fallen, in the present day, without any apparent sense of shame.
Various works, modelled upon the same lines as the present one,
have since been started in Canada, but none of them have answered
the public expectation hence a demand has arisen for a second edi
tion of " Canadian Men and Women of the Time," to meet which the
present volume has been prepared. Like its predecessor, the Editor
trusts that.it may be found accurate, trustworthy, and up-to-date. It
is certainly as complete, as regards the number of characters repre
sented, as well as the facts and information touching them, as
circumstances have permitted. If any name of importance has been
omitted, the fault, upon examination, will be found not to rest with
the Editor, but with someone more directly concerned.
The volume now submitted will be found to contain a greater
number of names than the previous one, some 7,900 sketches being
included within its folds. Of these some have died while the book
was being published, but any such occurrences, with other unforeseen
changes, will be found to be duly recorded in their proper place.
A second volume, embracing portraits of the persons represented
herein, will appear just as soon as all the portraits have been collected
for the purpose.
The Editor has been indebted to many persons for various cour
tesies and other assistance received during the preparation of the
book. A list of these ladies and gentlemen is subjoined, and to one

Allan, Miss Maud, dancer.
B. Toronto ; at 4 yrs. of age re
moved to San Francisco, where her
father became a naturalized Am. citi
zen ; took a scholarship at the Cogs
well Poly. Coll., San Francisco ; com
menced studying the piano at age of
5, and made her first appearance as a
pianist at 12 ; soon afterwards went
to Europe to continue her studies ;
spent 5 yrs. at the Berlin Royal Acad.
High Sch. of Music, and took the high
est diploma for piano-playing ; later,
abandoned her intention of becoming
a professional musician, deciding to
become a dancer instead, her idea
being to represent music by dancing ;
after much fresh study, she made her
first appearance as a dancer before an
invited audience at the Conser. of
Music, Vienna, in 1902 ; she was
highly complimented by the press ; her
first public appearance took place at
the Theatre Moliere, Brussels, and she
subsequently performed at Berlin,
Buda Pesth, Hamburg and Paris, at
all of which places she aroused much
enthusiasm ; at London, where she
appeared in " The Vision of Salome,"
early In 1908, she became the rage,
and had the honour of dancing before
the la/te King and the present Queen
Mother (g.v.) ; subsequently she suc
cessfully appeared in N. Y. ; has writ
ten and published her life ; " is proud
to claim Can. as <he,r country." Care
Canadian Office, London, Eng.
" As Salome she has brought pose
dancing to perfection. Her costume gives
a luxurious impression of Oriental gor-
geousness. Her figure is as symmetrical
as Canova s Venus. Above her slender
waist it seems to be unconcealed except
for jewelled trappings. Her feet, which
are not too small but finely modelled, are
bare and she gets expression even into her
pink toes. She impresses her spectators
by the power of her representation and by
the varied intensities of her facile expres
sion, and, best of all, she does not appeal
to the baser passions." N. Y. World.

the regt. losing during the day about
90 men from artillery in killed,
wounded, and prisoners ; the army re
turned to Virginia almost immediately,
and was moved up the Shenandoah
Valley, and by way of Front Royal
to Culpepper, Va., where Gen. Banks
established his headquarters, B. being
with his regt. throughout ; Aug. 8,
1862,, Banks moved his centre south
from Culpepper to Cedar Mountain, the
10th Maine being in advance ; on the
following day the regt. participated in
one of the most desperate and bloody
battles of the war, the numbers en
gaged being 1 considered ; during the
early part of the day it was an artil
lery fight, with small loss on either
side ; a bout 4 in the afternoon the 10th
Maine became engaged with the Con
federate infantry ; the conflict was
short, not more than 20 minutes, yet
in that time Co. D., commanded by
Capt. B., lost 10 men shot dead and
22 wounded, out of a total of 45 ; on
the evening otf Aug. 9, B. was taken
prisoner, on the picket line, and was
sent to Richmond, where he was con
fined a prisoner of war in Libby
prison ; after 3 months he was ex
changed and sent to Camp Parole,
Annapolis, Md. ; he joined his regt. as
It was crossing the Potomac River,
near Harper s Ferry ; in the early part
of 1&63, -Co. D., witbh two other co. s
of the 10th Maine, having been formed
into a batt. and attached to the head
quarters of the 10th Army Corps,
under Genl. Slocum, B., as senior offr.
of the batt., commanded it at head
quarters ; was present with it at Chan-
cellorsville, May 1, 2, and 3, and at
the Battle of Gettysburg, July 2, 3,
and 4, 1863 ; in the fall of that year
went with ihis corps to Tenn., to rein
force Rosencranz, who had been de
feated at Chickamauga and driven into
Chattanooga by Genl. Bragg; during
the winter of 1863-4 B. commanded his
batt. at Shelbyville, Tenn. ; from this
point his command was transferred to
the 29th Maine, then serving in the
19th Corps (Emery s), joining it at
Morganza, La., Mississippi River ; soon
afterwards they were moved to New
Orleans, and were sent by sea, under
sealed orders, ultimately to Fortress
Monroe, to reinforce Grant s army of
the Potomac ; on reaching there, how
ever, their destination was changed to
Washington, where they landed, within
hearing of the Confederate guns under
Early, on the other side of the city ;
having marched across the city they
joined the forces close in under the
walls ; Early s troops fell hack and
finally retreated up the Potomac River
and south through the Shenandoah
Valley ; B. s corps then passed under
Genl. Sheridan s command, and took
part in the Valley campaign under that
commander, which finally resulted in
the entire destruction of Early s army ;
promoted major in the 109th Regt.
Infantry, U.iS.C. troops, he was mus
tered into the service of the U. S. as
such Sept. 23, 1864 ; ordered from its
location in Ky. to the army of the
Potomac, it took position on the north
side of the James River, in front of
Confederate Fort Harrison, and par
ticipated in the siege of Richmond ;
Mch., 1865, B., having conceived the
idea of raising a regt. of sharpshooters,
to be armed with Spencer rifles, then
coming into use, and being strongly
supported in his application to the War
Office by Genl. Slocum, then command
ing the left wing of Howard s army,
tendered his resignation and was
hiomourably discharged from. the army,
in order that he might be free to carry
out his intention, but before he could
give effect to it, Grant broke the Con
federate lines at Petersburg, and the
collapse of the Confederacy followed ;
Apl., 1897, was apptd. by Gov. J. R.
Bodwell of Maine a commr. for pur
chasing and improving land and erect
ing monuments thereon, in commemor
ation of the soldiers from Maine who
fell at Gettysburg ; after the war B.
went into business at Richmond, Va.,
where he continued until 1873, remov
ing thence to Cairo, W. Va., where he
purchased a large tract of timber land ;
in 1878 he went to Arkansas, where he
built a narrow-gauge railroad from
Hope to Washington, Ark.; in 1882 he
changed the gauge of this road and
extended it to Nashville, a distance of
about 25J miles ; It is known as the
Arkansas & Louisiana Railroad ; in
1886 he sold the road to Jay Gould
and, in 1887, began the construction of
another railroad from Magnolia, Ark.,
to Natchitoches, La., a distance of 115
miles ; this road, known as the Louis
iana and Northwest Railroad, he sold
to a St. Louis syndicate, in 1905 ; fol
lowing this, he built an electric system,
comprising a street railroad of 6J miles,
a light and power plant, an ice plant,
and an amusement park, at Mineral
Wells, Texas, which he still owns ; m.

BLAKE.
often Importuned to enter Parlt. ; in
the year mentioned was elected both
to the Ho. of Commons and the Legis
lature ; was immediately offered the
leadership of his party in the latter
body, but it was not till 1869 that he
consented to accept that position ; on
the defeat of the Sandfleld Macdonald
govt., Dec., 1871 (an event largely due
to his efforts), was called upon to form
a new Admn., and succeeded in the
task; he himself took the office of
Presdt. of the Council without salary ;
on the abolishment of dual representa
tion, some time later, resigned the
Premiership with the view of devoting
the whole of his attention to Federal
politics; in the H.C. he was urged to
accept the leadership, but declined the
honour ; was, nevertheless, one of the
greatest champions in the well-remem
bered contest over the Pacific Scandal,
which resulted in the downfall of Sir
John A. Macdonald ; when Mr. Mac
kenzie became Prime Minister of Can.,
accepted a position in his cabinet, with
out office ; was sworn of the Privy
Council, Nov. 7, 1873 ; in Feb., 1874, re
signed owing to Ill-health ; In May, 1875,
accepted office as Minr. of Justice,
and while such undertook an official
mission to Eng., touching amendments
to the law of extradition, etc. ; was
mainly instrumental In perfecting the
constitution of the Supreme Ct. of Can.
at Its establishment, and personally
selected the judges first apptd. thereto ;
after the defeat of the Mackenzie Govt.
at the polls, 1878, was chosen leader
of the Lib. party in the H.C., In place
of the ex-Premier, whose health had
become impaired by his arduous official
labours ; remained in that position until
after the g.e. of 1887, when he retired
and was succeeded by Mr. (now Sir
W. ) Laurier ; subsequent to that event
took no prominent part either in the
debates in the House, or in the general
work of his party; at the g.e., 1890,
declined renominatlon, and sent to his
constituents in West Durham a letter
expressing his views of the condition
and prospects of the country ; this
letter was believed to be of the greatest
Importance, but it was not published
until after the elections ; when the
letter was made public It created a
genuine sensation, for it not only an
nounced the great leader s retirement
from political life, but expressed the
gravest forebodings concerning the
future of Can. ; " The splendid oratory
and brilliant genius of Mr. B.," says
Mr. Adams (q.v.), from whose work of
biography we have taken some of the
facts herein, " were keenly missed in
Parlt., and many were the hopes ex
pressed that he would reconsider his
determination, and return to his right
ful place as leader of his party " ; in
June, 1892, these hopes were dispelled
by his acceptance of an invitation ex
tended to him by the leaders of the
Irish parliamentary party to accept a
seat In the Brit. H.C. ; he landed In
Irel. a few weeks previous to the
election of 1892, and was received with
great cordiality ; he stood for the con
stituency of South Longford and was
returned by a very large majority ;
his advent into Imp. politics was made
under the most auspicious circum
stances, and fully justified the fondest
hopes of his friends ; he continued to
sit for South Longford while he re
mained a mem. of the Brit. Parlt., and
did much to popularize the Irish cause
throughout the Empire ; was presented
to Queen Victoria, Buckingham Palace,
July, 1882, and again, subsequently;
in 1894 he was elected a mem. of the
Extve. Comte. of the Irish Parliament
ary party ; in the same year he was in
cluded In the Royal Comn, apptd. to
enquire into the financial relations
between Gt. Brit, and Irel. ; this Comte.
reported that Irel. was bearing an un
fair share of taxation, and in 1897 he
was selected to move an amendment to
the address in reply to the Queen s
speech on the subject ; later, he moved
a substantive resolution thereon ; In
1895 he went to New Zealand, to serve
as arbitrator between the New Zealand
Govt. and the New Zealand Midland
Ry. Co., and made his award in Dec.,
wholly in favour of the Govt. ; In 1896
he was one of the comte. of 15 of the
H.C. appointed to Investigate South
African affairs and the causes of the
Transvaal raid ; his cross-examination
of Cecil Rhodes has been spoken of as
"a masterly piece of work " ; he was
very successful in obtaining funds for
carrying on the work of the Irish
Parliamentary party, and contributed
himself largely thereto ; to the election
fund of the McCarthyite wing of the
Nationalist party. 1895, his subscrip
tion was 1,000 ; was arbitrator for
Nfd. in the Reid-Nfd. Govt. case, 1904-
5 ; in the same year was elected chair
man of Comtes. (H.C.) ; was the first
(and for 14 yrs. continuously) presdt.
of the Toronto Genl. Trusts Co. ; on his
resignation of the offloe, 1896, the
other directors of the Co. presented
the Ont. Legislature with his portrait
in oils, " to mark their esteem for him
and their appreciation of his services
in some lasting way " ; throughout his
career, his Interest in education and
especially higher education has been
most marked ; he was elected Chan
cellor of the Univ. of Toronto, 1873 ;
in 1888 he gave ?2,500 to found
scholarships In political science in that
institution, and in 1891 he agreed to
give $20,000 as a fund towards en
dowing junior matriculation scholar
ships therein ; after the destruction of
tiie buildings of the Univ. by fire, 1890,
he gave largely to the rebuilding fund,
and did much otherwise to assist In
the work of restoration ; he declined
a K. C. M. G., for his public services,
1876 ; was a del. to the 3rd Com
mercial Congress, London, 1893, at
a dinner given in Ms honour In
Toronto, Feb., 1894, he called him
self an " Irishman, and an Imperialist,
not in a jingo sense, but an Imperialist
in the fullest sense of the word, and
with the belief that the destiny of the
Brit. Empire is to occupy the foremost
position as a civilizer and Christian-
izer throughout the whole world " ; con
tinuing, lie said, " he looked forward
to the granting of Home Rule to Irel.
in the near future, and thereafter to
seeing systems of local govt. estab
lished in all the great historical and
