Reddin , under the firm name of Reddin Brothers, and engaged in the drug business, in which they have since continued, meeting with a gratifying degree of success. They give their main attention to dispensing and the importation and sale of drugs and chemicals. Mr. Reddin was one of the promoters and a charter member of the Prince Edward Is ¬ land Pharmaceutical Association, and was also for several years the president of the Benevolent Irish Society. In 1904 he was elected a member of the Charlottetown city council, of which body he is now a member. On September 13, 1883, Mr. Reddin was married to Miss Eliza Lilly Younghus- band, a native of England , and a daughter of Edwin Younghusband and Margaret Cowan . Mr. and Mrs. Reddin are the par¬ ents of four children, namely: Edwin O'Mera , who is a mechanical engineer, was educated at College and at McGill University, Montreal; Ivan Young - husband is taking a course in engineering at McGill University; Gladdis is in the con¬ vent at Notre Dame, and Margery is also in a convent at home. Right Rev. James Charles McDon ¬ ald, D. D ., fourth bishop of the diocese of Charlottetown , was born at Allissary, in the province of , in June, 1840. His family were among the earliest emigrants who came to this country after the signing of the Treaty of Paris. His early education was carefully attended to by his pious parents, and in due time he graduated from the Provincial Academy at Charlottetown . Later on he entered St Dunstan's College, Charlottetown , where he successfully prosecuted his classical and mathematical studies, on the completion of which he entered the Grand Seminary, Mon¬ treal, conducted by the Sulpifian Fathers. Here he spent several years in the study of science, philosophy and theology, and, hav¬ ing finished his seminary curriculum of stud¬ ies, was ordained to the priesthood on July 4, 1873. Returning to his native province, he was appointed by the late Bishop Mclntyre to a professor's chair in St. Dunstan's Col¬ lege and in tin's capacity remained at the col¬ lege for two years. He had a splendid apti¬ tude for the study of higher mathematics, as also of the ancient classic languages, and during his two years' professorship at St. Dunstan's he devoted all his energies to the work of teaching these branches of knowl¬ edge to the young men entrusted to his care. But the need of missionary priests in the diocese of Charlottetown was at thartime a pressing one, and in 1875 Father Charles, as he was then known, was given charge of the missions of Georgetown and ¬ gan Bridge, and also for a time had charge of the neighbouring mission of Sturgeon . Here he remained for nine years, during which time he was ever faithful to the sacred trust reposed in him in attending to the spiritual welfare of the people occupying these scattered missions. The late Bishop Mclntyre was a most indefatigable promoter of higher education, and his cherished ob¬ ject was to hive his diocesan college— St. Dunstan's —acquire and maintain a fore¬ most position among the educational institu¬ tions of Canada . To this end, he selected Father McDonald as the rector of this col¬ lege in 1884. On assuming his new duties
