His report indicated that the conditions of his conferencs were as good as could be expected under the circumstances. The committee on distribution of labor rendered its report which was very brief. Pastor J. L. Wilson formerly carrying the duties of the layman's movement is made Union evangelist. President of the World's Confer- ence, W. A. Spicer of Washington, D.C., gave the closing address Thurs- day evening, basing his remarks on Romans I, 15, 16.-- His address was not a lecture, he himself said it would not be a ser- mon, he announced that he wouid tell some stories that would illus. trate the text, and carried his list- eners from country to country around the wortd, beginning with Atchin in the South Seas, Missionary Parker was in charge of the work on the island of Atcnun and when he was obliged wo leave for Australia on furlough the old chief wept and said, "You Sapa. We take good care of you. We are in the dark and we want to know the light." "Thus," the speak- or declared, "the gospel 1s exper- iencing manifestations of power the world around." Mr. Spicer related tale after tale of the miracles of missions. Marvel- ous providences which missionaries in various lands had passed through he told with great simplicity but with telling effect. From Korea, Mr. Spicer had ro ceived a sheet of paper covered with Chinese characters which he had received from an old devil worship- per. These were his last prayers wo Satan; shortly after he placed thess in the shrine he went to the "'wor- ship" as the natives call it there. Other stories were told of equal in- terest from Fiji; the ridge-pole of the 'world, the Titicaca region of South America; different parts ot Europe; from Abysinia in Africa; from Smyrna in the Holy Land, and from Turkey. . Farewell speeches were made by B. E. Manuel, superintendent of the Newfoundland: mission, F. C. Lane, president of the Quebec conference, D. J. C. Barrett, president of the Ontario Conference, and from F. W Stray, president of the Maritime, Conference. "THE HILL BILLY." Presented at Grand Again, Last N ight. A play written by a player is not so much of an attraction but when | it comes from the pen of Mary Piek- ford, her brother Jack and Marion Jackson, with Jack Pickford taking the leading part, it is ceftainly of unusual Interest. 'The Hill Billy," low showing at the Grand Opera louse, deserves all the attention it already drawn and is drawing.

Several students of Queen's Uni- versity are to be summoned before the police magistrate to answer to charges of assaulting F. B. Pense, a member of the Whig reportorial staff, forcibly taking h!'m from the vicinity of his home to the univer- sity gymnasium, where they submit- ted him to a student-court trial, and also for wearing masks during the episode, which occurred on Tuesday evening. The students were annoyed at several articles about dancing, which recently appeared in the Whig, and in which Queen's had been mentioned. They placed the blame ypon the shoulders of Mr. Pense, and decided to bring him before a mock court. In the tussle, the clothing of Mr. Pense sufferrd damage, and the students will be called upon to make this good. Mr. Pense was put through "stunts" that may be accep- ted on the part of culprit students from their comrades, but to which a civilian 'would certainly object. He recognized several of his attackers, and although threats were 'made that if he divulged what had taken place he would receive further at- tention, Mr. Pense promised the ringleaders they would assuredly receive their deserts. He speaks in the highest terms of John C. Mae- gillivray, son of Prof. Macgillivray, who on hearing of the actions of his fellow-students, left a dance he wag attending, went before the mob court assembly and spoke om Mr, Pense's behalf. Next morning offers came from the university for an amiable settle- | ment of the matter, the suggestion | being made that Mr. Pense accept the episode as a students' lark, un- der what they thought was provoca- tion.' Such a settlement might have been made, but Mr. Pense insisted that, besides being paid personal da- mages, he receive a written apology from the ringleaders. At first this! was refused, and before the matter | could be arranged, word of the af-| fair reached the ear of Attorney- General Nickle in Toronto, although no press mention was made of it in despatches. Over the long-distance telephone Mr. Nickle intimated that, if the local authorities did not pro- | secuta the culprits, he would, as he was determined that no lawless epi- | sode like this should fake place and | the offenders go unpunished while he | occupied the position of attorney- | general of the province. This put a stop to a settlement, and as Hon. Mr. Nickle is chairman of the Board of Trustées of Queen's university, it was realized that he was dead in 30x3 Non-Skid $8.75 THIS IS THE MONTH TO BUY TIRES -- PLACE YOUR ORDER WITH US NOW.
