Lord Strathcona, who died peacefully in his sleep just before 2 a. m., will be burled In High gate churchyard beside his wife, it was stated today. Lady Strathcona died only last November and her hus band, who was devotedly attached to her and then past his ninety-third birthday, never fully recovered from the shock. The direct cause of his death was prostration due to an attack of catarrh. His title and the bulk of his huge estate will go to his daughter, Marga rette Charlotte, wife of R. J. Bliss Howard. Lord Strathcona, first baron (created 1S97), was born in Scotland in 1820, a son of Alexander Smith, Archieston, and Barbara, daughter of Donald Stuart, Leanchoil. Lord Strathcona's full name was Donald Alexander Smith G. C. M. B. 1896; G. C. V. O. 1908; F. R. S., LL. D., P. C. D. L.. high com missioner for Canada, which position b6 occupied since 1896. "The Lion of the North," as Lord Strathcona was frequently called, married Isabel Sophia, daughter of the late Richard Hardlsty of Canada. He had one daughter, Margaret Charlotte, who was married to R. J. Bliss How ard, F. R. C. S. Lord Strathcona was one of the most distinguished men in Canadian political life, and had been prominent in Canadian affairs for more than 25 years. Was Friend of America. Not only did the famous high com missioner take a deep interest in the affairs of his beloved dominion' but he always displayed a liking for Ameri cans. He was thoroughly familiar with American political conditions and had many friends in this country. In April, 1912, at the time of the Ti tanic disaster, Lord Strathcona con tributed 5000 to the New York city general fund for the sufferers, al though he had already contributed generously to the lord mayor's fund in London. He was a close personal lriend of James J. Hill. Again in March, 1913, Lord Strath cona most generously gave 15000 to the fund for the relief of sufferers from the disastrous Ohio floods. The career of the "Grand Old Man of Canada" was started in Scotland at the age of 16 years, when he sought and obtained work as an errand boy. steeraee. the, vovaire laatine 3ft davn As a nionPpr in thn Rervie or the Hudson s Bay company, Strathcona rapidly rose to high rank, was created Sir Donald Smith, became governor of his company and president of the Bank of Montreal.

As he paid his men more than twice the regular army pay, this piece of patriotism cost him something like 12,000,000. His fortune, however, is estimated at $125,000,000. One of Lord Strathcona's earliest achievements to gain him fame was his work as special commissioner dur ing the first Rell rebellion in the Red River settlements in 1869. He was thanked by the governor general in council for his services In this emer gency. In his early days Lord Strathcona was truly a pioneer. For many years in his youth he lived in the forests of the northwest Many months and even years were spent In weary Hud son s Bay company posts, burled in the wilderness. From a Scottish im migrant boy, bound over to the Hud son's Bay company, Donald Smith rose to become the president of those great companies, and also to become Lord Strathcona. largest individual land owner In the world, high commissioner for Canada and member of the Britisn house of lords.
