HE LATE ROBERT BALDWIN, gentleman, Toronto, was born in that city, April 17th, 1834, and died there, December 9th, 1885. He was the son of the late well known Hon. Robert Baldwin, and was educated at Upper Canada College. When fifteen years of age, he had a strong desire to follow sea faring life, in which he finally engaged and remained in connection with the merchant service for several years. For many years subsequent to this, he was not actively engaged in any business, until the year 1874, he became secretary of the upper Canada Bible Society, and won the esteem of a large number of friends. Mr. Baldwin was very much interested in everything which contributed to the morality and improvement of the community in which he lived, and did grand work in many ways for the cause of humanity. He was a devoted

and influential member of the Anglican Church, and continued secretary of the Bible Society for some years. He was one of the founders, and first president of the Y.M.C.A., and in the early years of its history in Toronto, devoted considerable time and energy to its progress, and rendered very efficient service to the work carried on by that institution. His noble Christian influence was a powerful stimulus to others to render help in this good cause, and much is due to his efforts for the good work that has been accomplished by that institution.

ACOB W. HART, M.D., pro

J prietor and medical superin

tendent of the Huntsville and Sudbury hospitals, Huntsville, Ont., was born in East Durham, March 12th, 1858. His early education was obtained at the Durham county public schools, and continued at Omemee and Port Hope High schools. After teaching five years, he attended Trinity Medical College, Toronto, and graduating in 1886, at once began practice in Huntsville. Dr. Hart was a bright student, and his success in his student days gave promise of success in future life. The hospital at Huntsville, which has

been of so much benefit to the community, and conducted with such signal success, was established by him during his first year there. The success of this institution was so marked, that after having had six years practical experience in its management, he determined to open a branch hospital at Sudbury, which he did in 1892, with Dr. J. G. McKee, as resident surgeon. The system of the Huntsville and Sudbury hospitals, in selling certificates of admission to persons in good health for a small sum, has proved a merciful provision to laboring men and those without homes, as otherwise they might be thrown into an almshouse, if not supported by public or private charity. On payment of $5.00, this certificate, which is not transferable, entitles the holder in case of sickness or accident, contagious diseases excepted, to nursing, board, medical and surgical attendance in either the Huntsville or Sudbury hospitals, at any time during one year from date of such certificate. Dr. Hart is to be congratulated on his success, and is deserving of every encouragement. The Dr. is a Methodist in religion, and a Reformer in politics. He is a member of several societies, amongst others of the A.F. and A.M., I.O.O.F., C.O.O.F. and I.O.F. societies, and was elected reeve of Huntsville, for 1891 and 1892, by acclamation. He was married, December 14th, 1892, to Martha P. Hood, a graduate from one of the American training schools for nurses.
