the congregational idea was not lost sight ___________ of.He referred to the healthy condi- ' PRINCESS CHRISTIAN,\t^jon 0j the pUpjis due t0 the good, aged daughter of Queen Victoria, who fresb air and careful watchful care of separated from her German husband, the staff, the influence of the home-' t,_.\t,\t,\t^ _ |jje\twag upheld in the school, and in conclusion commended St.Helen\u2019s School to those present ini support and sympathy.If, said Hris Lordship, everyone present would make an effort to put before the public the advantages of such a school in the diocese there would be no doubt that the autumn of 1916 would were extremely pretty and were executed with grace and beauty to the pleasure of the spectators and enjoy- ; ment of themselves.THE SPORTS.Friday afternoon the sports were handicapped in a measure by, the j downpour of rain, but Miss Herbert, the energetic mistress of Calisthenics, very successfully arranged for the programme to be carried out in the Assembly Hall, and although some of the long-distance races had to he postponed much pleasure was afforded the guests in the feats that were performed.The obstacle race and cloak room race were Pi, have grown used to Ui* noise, which The various\tcommittee chairmen 11*1».The condition of th< poor-'\trr'* \u2019 \u2019\u2019 1 at f-' t Joe* Wore I were appointed as follows;

up ran, out low the Union Jack.\"Three cheer» for the Queen!\" cried the Sirdar; helmets leaped In the air, and the melancholy ruins woke to the first wholesome shout of all these years.Then came forward the pipers and wailed a dirge, and the Sudanese band played \u2018Abide With Me.\u2019 Perhaps lips did twitch Just a little to see the ebony heathens ferveatly blowing out Gordon\u2019s faverlt® hymn; but the most irresistible incemgruity would hardly bave made us laugh.And there were these who said the cold Sirdar himself could hardly speak or see, as General Hunter and the rest stepped out and shook his hand.What wonder?He had tredden this road to Khartoum for fourteen years, and he stood at the geal at last\u201d It was characteristic of so unconventional a nature that his first step to fortune and greatness was a piece of indiscipline.He was on leave in Alexandria on the eve of the famous bombardment, and, knowing that a telegram recalling him to Cyprus was imminent, he arranged with a friendly press-man to delay its reaching his hands until the weekly boat to Cyprus had gone.A Wonderful Spy In the early days in Egypt Kitchener was daring almost to rashness, living among the sons of the desert for months at a time, in order to acquire a knowledge of the Mahii\u2019s movements and conspiracies.And so clever was he In disguising himself that even his own comrades did not know him.Indeed, one day a soldier flung a brickbat at Kitchener, whom he mistook for \u201ca bloomin\u2019 nigger,\u201d inflicting rather a nasty scalp wound.His cleverness In disguising himself, coupled with a knowledge of Arabic, which he had picked up in his wanderings in Syria, made him invaluable to the authorities.He was chief of LORD KITCHENER as Secretary For War I V.W- t* z.l I - - h-i\" ¦' A-v'ïtf.v*\" I -I m sSwaKas While attending to purely Ministerial duties Lord Kitchener was careful to dress as a civilian.This picture was taken as the National Hero was descending the steps of the War Office during his secretaryship.the Secret Service, living for two years with the Arabs as one of themselves, arid the following incidertt, Die truth of which is vouched for by one of Lord Kitchener's relatives, strikingly illustrates his personal courage and cleverness.Two Arab spies feigned deafness, and Kitchener could get nothing from them.In half an hour another spy was caught and bundled Into the tent with the other two.They were left for an hour, talking briskly all the time, and then the door was thrown open and the third spy demanded to be taken to headquarters.It was Kitchener himself, who had, of course, found out all he wanted to know.Why Egypt Worshipped Spoken ef reverently as \u201cEl Lord\u201d | or \u201cKeoch-Nohr,\" ho came to be ro-galrded in Egypt and Sudan by the massas of the people almost as a semi-fllvlnlty, such as were Sett and liâmes- ; es by the Egyptians of old.For the j races of the Sudan he was a far great- | er one than the old Mahdt.The triumph of Kitchener in Egypt was the j triumph of youth.Here he associated with bis groat task young men of tried mettle In whom he could place f confidence.He wan, In Steevens\u2019 words, \u201ca bland of French audacity ! of Imagination, American Ingenuity j and British doggedness In execution.Everybody told him that he would never ffe* the gunboats over the Fourth Cataract ; a General who had born there In the Wolseley days delivered a lecture demonstrating un-morclfnlly the mnd impossibility of the scheme.A dsy or two after the Sirdar sent, the beat* over.\u201d Oaly one man Is ever known to have Etvon Hack-talk to Kttchnnor In the matter of an order.When at the moat orlticsl stage of the long ad-uuico towards Khartoum the all- important desert railway was Being pushed Into the gleaming wastes ot rock and sand beyond Wady-Halfa, K.one day made a sudden descent upon tbe eSScer in charge of the work and strongly objected to some method of construction.It might well have silenced some men.But the young, and at that time unknown soldier of French-Canadtan extraction, Percy Glreuard, looked calmly into the eyes of the dreaded chief and replied deliberately; \u201cLook here, sir, am I working this jeb or are you?\u201d Kitchener laughed.\u201cGo on,\u201d he said.\u201cDo It your own way.\u201d He knew his man and the qualities which gave him such faith in himself.Stories of Kitchener\u2019s semi-humorous bluntness are legion.\u201cSorry to report the loss of five men through explosion of dynamite,\u201d was the gist of a telegram he received one day during the Boer war from a captain at the front.\u201cDo you want any more dynamite?\u201d was the immediate answer.On one occasion to the War Office authorities were pressing a certain weapon upon him.\u201cKeep the gun,\u201d he wired.\u201cI can throw stones myself.\u201d \u201cTwelve hours In which to carry this despatch?\u201d he remarked to an officer on one occasion.\u201cYou must do it in six.\u201d And the officer did it in five.Gave Little Friend a Do!! Yet this man, \u201cthe man of iron,* or \u201cthe Sudan machine,\u201d as great cob respondents called him, had a humai side, as the narratives ef Mrs.Erskini show.Mrs.J.S.Erskine, widow oS a former captain of the l»th KoyaJ Hussars, who was for a time atUched to the staff of Lord Kitchener, recently gave an interview in which she discussed the man on whom the Empire was relying.At her first meeting of Lord Kitchener she was a lass of four, in short skirts and blouse.When he died she was in the neighherheod \u2022! 40.\"I was at the engineerisg depet at Woolwicii with my parents when I first saw the then Engineer Kitcbem-er,\u201d said Mrs.Erskine.\u201cHe wa» mest shy and diffident, but I wa»n't.In truth I was just the opposite, aad probably that is the reason we became fast friends.Not long after that when he was called to Egypt, he gave me a doll, and I treasured it many years.\u201d Those Women ! I Lord Kitchener\u2019s only retreat was orderly, but still a retreat.It occurred in London not so long after Royal honors had been conferred upon him by Queen Victoria, whose hand he kissed, although, as he later said, \u201cit was a long way down to reach it.\u201d On the day of the retreat the general had been feted at a dozen affairs and finally wound up at a tea where Mrs.Erskine was one of the guests.When he saw his old friend he rushed to her.\u201c\u2018Talk to me! Please talk to me! Never mind what you say, but say something just as though it were Important,\u2019 he begged me,\u201d said Mrs.Erskine.\u201cSo I talked to him about nothing, and finally managed to ask him what had disturbed him.\u2018It\u2019s those two women over there,\u2019 he said, pointing to a couple of grande dames.\u2018They have been following me all the afternoon, and I didn\u2019t think I ever would escape.' \u201d One day Kitchener, Capt.Erskine, the latter\u2019s wife, and others were visiting friends in Colchester, and ate heartily of greengage plums.\u201cThe general saw me devouring quantities, and finally took me to task,\" said Mrs.Erskine.\u201c \u2018Don\u2019t you eat another one of those,\u2019 he commanded.\u2018Why?\u2019 I asked.\u2018Because you\u2019ll get the stomach ache,\u2019 he replied gravely.\u2018So will you,\u2019 I responded, \u2018for you have eaten quite as many as have I.\u2019 T know that,' he replied, \u2018for I\u2019ve got it already.That\u2019s why I\u2019m trying to save you.\u2019 \u2019\u2019 Not Like \u201cBobs\u201d Must was \u201cK.\u2019s\" pet word.The following incident occurred in South Africa.Lord Roberts, requiring some important work to be carried out, sent for a senior officer and gave him his instructions.\u201cHow soon do you think you can put it through?\u201d inquired the kindly old chief, adding: \u201d1 know you will do the best you can.\u201d \u2018Til try to do it in a fortnight, sir,\u201d was the reply.\u201cWell, I know you will do your best,\u201d smiled Lord Roberts as he bade the other good-bye.The visitor had no sooner got outside than he ran up against Lord Kitchener.\u201cOh, I\u2019ve just seen the chief,\u201d explained the officer, referring to the business in hand.\u201cHow soon will you get done?\u201d was the quick respensq.\u201cWell, I told him I would try and do it in a fortnight.\u201d \u201cNow, look here, colonel,\" replied K\u201e \u201cunless this is put through within a week we shall have to consider your return home.\u201d The work was done.Estimates \u201cI regard him as the greatest, soldier ef Great Britain said Joseph Choate, formerly United Etales Ambassador te Great Britain.\u201cI think he was in his right place at the head of the British War Office.I believe this calamity will stimulate the British people to increased effort until their final triumph Is won.\u201d \u201cI knew him,\u201d said Capt.Gaunt, British Naval Attache at New Yerk, \"as a wonderful organizer of British armies, who could discipline men and put them into the field.By some his achievements In this direction are held to surpass his exploits in the field.\u201d Kitchener went to South Africa in the black days, when Britain had suffered a scries of defeats\u2014Storraberg, Magersfontoin, Oolenso\u2014and Britain's military supremacy was in grave danger.And how the \u201cgentlemen\u201d of the ranks, aud others, hated his methods.Boon letters were arriving in London complaining of his arbitrary way*.He was \u201cmaking himself hated everywhere\u201d; \"insulting voluntary officers of noble birth dally\u201d; \"ruining the organization,\u201d and so on.But never a word from Kitchener until he broke the silence with the laconic despatch, \"Bend me more men.\" And with these hundreds of thousands he woa through as he would have done In his own time with the millions whom he called lo \u201cKitchener\u2019s anny\" in the lArcat Wa r BUSINESS BEFORE Proprietors in South Ward Object To Sign Servitude in Connection With Main Sewer EXPROPRIATION PROCEEDINGS THREATENED.ACTION OVER PIPES MAY BE SETTLED OUT OF COURT.An adjourned meeting of the City Council was held last night.Mayor Sylvestre presided and all the aider-men were present except Aid.Darche.FREE LIGHTING FOR CENTENARY FETES.Mr.J.H.Lemay made application for free lighting in connection with the centenary celebration at Racine Park on June 22 and at St.Charles Seminary on June 24.Ex-Mayor Hebert supported, and the Council referred the matter to the Gas and Electric Committee, with power to act.Aid.Parkes remarked that the event should be celebrated with sufficient dignity and sufficient outlay of money to make it worthy of the city.TO TRY FOR AMICABLE SETTLEMENT.Aid?Edwards drew attention to the fact that the action taken by the' Canada Cement Products Co.against j the city was down for hearing to-1 day.This action was taken to re-1 cover about $3,6(10 for pipes which the city declined to accept in 1913 as being unsatisfactory.Aid.Edwards reviewed the matter and expressed a desire for settlement out of court if possible.Mr.Leblanc, city attorney, stated that the company\u2019s attorneys had intimated a settlement might be reached if the Council showed an inclination.On motion of Aid.Edwards, seconded by Aid.Tetreault, a committee consisting of Aldermen Genest, Brault and Jenckes was appointed to meet the company\u2019s representatives, with power to act.SOUTH WARD AND MAIN SEWER.In connection with the by-law for the construction of a main sewer in the South Ward, which had been approved of by the Finance Committee providing the proprietors signed a ! servitude in favor of the city, allowing the sewer to be constructed, Mr.!
