tunity. He proved equal to the occa-
sion. Ile gave the best exposition and
defence of the government's position

Oirouard (formerly an eminent Conser-
vative member of the Canadian House

" Word was received Sunday last of the
death of Mr. Harry Catnpbell, son of
Mr. Murdoch Campbell, of Seaforth.
The sad, event took place on the pre-
vious day, at his residence in Chicago.
Mr. Campbell bad been a reeident of
-Chicago for several years, where he
held a good position in a railway office.
Close attention to business and the se-
vere strain imposed upon hint under-
mined his constitution, and about s
year ago he was forced to cease work
and he came to Cao ada with the hope that
a rest would enakle hila to recuperate.
He had been herefor nearly a year, and
Ids friends seemed to thi :k his tend i tion
improved. A week before his death he
returned to Chicago, and the long jour-
ney seemed to have proven too much
for hint and the end came suddenly at
last, He was a bright and promising
voupg man, about 80 years of age, and
had his life been epared,he would, un-
doubtedly, have made his mark in the
path of life. He was of a cheerful,
genial disposition, and was a universal
favorite with all who knew him. Hy
leaves a widow and one child. Iiie
father and brother went to Chicago on
Mond y,to attend the funeral, which
took &Mace there on'I'uesday.'

—Froin the St. Catharines Standard
we take the following account of the
death of Mr. Joseph Cbellew, brother
of Mr. J. H. Chellew, of Blyth: "A
very highly esteemed resident of this
city passed away at a medical institu-
tion in Buffalo on Thursday in the
person of Mr, .Joseph Chellew. The
deceased was born in this district, but
left here as a young man, and for
several years • resided in Glassford,
Illinois, where he acquired a comfort-
able competence. Returning to thie
district about the same time as his
father, the late Joseph Chellew, took
up his residence in this city, he made
his home on the Chellew homestead in
Pelham. About six menthe ago Mr.
Chellew sold the old home and removed
to this city, where he purchased a
pretty residence on Park place. At
the time of hie father's death, which
occurred recently, Mr. Chellew was
suffering from a painful and malignant
disease, and on the advice of local
physicians went to Buffalo to receive
special troatment, which in his case
was Duly too evidently futile. During
his short residence in this city the
deceased gained the respect and regard
of all who knew him. He was a mem-
ber of St. George's lodge A.F. & A,M„
and in politics a stanncb Conservative.
The bereaved widow, and et least ono
sot and a daughter, neither of whom
are residents of this city, are left to
mourn the loss of a loving husband and
father. The body was brought to the
city at 2.50 p.m. on Friday, accompa-
nied by Mrs, Chellew and her sons,
Welter and Arthur, of Buffalo. An-
other son, Clarence, end a daughter,
Electa Jessie, more familiarly known
by her friends as Lett ie, who reside in
Peoria, Illinois, have been notified by
wire, and will, doubtless, arrive here
in ample time for the funeral, which
takes place, under the auspices of the
Masonic craft, from the deceased's late
home, Plink plate, on Sunday at 2.9(1
C. H. BEESE. p.m."
