Acheson’s only rectorship has been at the church at Middlstown, to which he came in 1882, after gqne year as curate at church of Toranto, cetved his early education. He went to Canada in 1381 and for a time was in business, with the firm of George Golding and Sons, df Toronto. Ordained in 1883. He attended the University Toronto, but left his course, and entered Wycliffe col- lege, a divinity school, from which he was graduated in 1838. e received an gdeundem to New York umiversity, end took his master's degree there in 1892, while serving at St. George's His ordination took vlace in 1883, im- mediately upon his graduation from Wycliffe. He was naturalized as an American citizen in 1894, after coming to live in Middletown, One of Queen’s Own. That the suffragan dishop-elect has been a soldler as well as a | clergyman is not so generally known as are the other principal facts of his carcer. . While a student at the University of Toronto, he was a mem- ber of Company K, the university company of the Canadian regi- ment known as the Queen’s Own rifies. During his collese course the company, with the rest of this regiment, was ordered to the terri- tory of Saskatchewan, now the province of the same name, to help put down what was known as Riel's second rebellion, an uprising of sever- al thousand Indians, led by Louis Riel, a French and Indian half-breed. Marched 204 Miles. The hardships and privations of the men of thig regiment commenced long hefore they arrived at the scene of hostilities in the far west. This was hefore_the completion of the Canadian Paciflc railway, and con- sequently several hundred miles of the journey had to be accomplished on foot through the deep snow. The men slept in snowdrifts, lved on hardtack and salt pork and suf- fered greatly from the cold on ac- count of insufficient clothing. From a place called Swift Cur- rent, which was as near as trains could take them to their destination, the command of which young Ache- son was a member had to under- ake a 204-mile march to Battleford, where nearly 600 men, women and children had been huddled into a defended by a single com- of the northwest mounted po- Not until they were detained 1t Swift Current did the young sol- diers ascertain where they were bound for or the nature of the task which awaited them. It w found that indiscriminate ravages had been committed by the Indians in all the settlements along the line of march. Houses had been destroyed after being plundered, :nd of loot was found in the b from where it had been The Indians had even hauled a piano for several miles and left it in the woods. M, Acheson still has a curious me- mento of this journey in the shape of two Greek books, onge of them a testament, which he picked up in the woods where the Indians had aban- doned them.

In the little thicket all lost their llves except three, Private Acheson, Dobbs and Lloyd. ‘While the thres were at last emerg- ing from the thicket to rejoin the rest of their command, Dobbs was wound- ed and fell Private Acheson imme- diately ran to him, under fire, and car- ried him on his shoulder toward a place of security. He had proceeded only a few yards however, when his wounded comrade was again struck and this time was killed outright. Al- most directly Lloyd. the other member of the trio, was also wounded, and Acheson was obliged to relinquish his ‘lifeless burden and help Lloyd to a place of safety. For this exploit un- der fire he afterward received a medal from Qugen Victorla. Private Lloyd is now Princival Lloyd of the manual training school in Toronto. The capture of this band of In- dians left only one other maraud- ing band at large, and they were the mounted police. On the return soon afterwards taken prisoners by trip the soldiers were carried in flatboats 500 miles down the Sas- katchewan river packed, as Mr. Acheson has described it in telling the story, “like herrings in a barrel.” They reached the end of Lake Win- nipeg in September, having been in serv since February. With Connecticut Militiamen. The golumn numbered 5000 men, and were under the command of Gen- eral Otter, who later served in the Boer war. The other two columns engaged in suppressing this uprising were commanded, respectively, by General Strange and the Earl of Minto. It was a singular coincidence that in the battle described above, Mr. Acheson fought almost along- side a member of the Second regi- ment, Connecticut National guard, the individual referred to being Cap- tain Howard, who besides selling to the Canadian government gatling guns, for which he was agent, had offered his own services as an officer. The same American officer again of- fered his services in South Africa, and was killed there. The same regiment the Queen’s Own Rifiles, with which Mr. Acheson fought, is now with the Canadian contingent in France. At European War’s Outbreak. Mr. Acheson had another exciting experience when together with Professor Nicolson of Wesleyan uni- versity he was stranded in Ttaly among thousands of other tourists at the outbreak of the present war. It is recalled that the two Middletown men were members of the commit- tee appointed by Ambassador Thom- as Nelson Page to relieve the distress of American tourists and arrange for their safe transportation back to the United States. They served both at Rome and at Naples in turned on the San Gugliemo, one of the three emigrant ships _which brought Americans home. On the trip Mr. *Acheson acted as interme- diary for the passengers in arrang- ing with the ship's officer for their satisfactory disposal, while his col- gue looked after the necessary guarantee of passage money.
