Entire Production Put on With Fine Effect, Before a Large Audience--Words of Praise For It. When "New Zephra" was concluded at the Grand last night, words of praise were showered upon all: taking part in it, The entire production was put on with fine effect, and the lar audience wos more than pleased. T speaking parts were all well taken, and the chorus work showed excel lent training. The different characters are in capable hands. Mrs. Telgmann as Queen Zephra, and Ada Rosevear, as Neyera, were exceedingly good ia their parts, and the same cenibe said of G, B., Cummings, as Prince Juna, D. Waring, as Sir Alexis, and William Manhard as Sir Solon. All the minor roles were well taken. The scenery is beautiful, and the grand transforma- tion scene in the final act is a special feature, The drill of the Red Hussars and the Highland Cadets was warmly applauded. Mr. Booth announced that as Tuesday night was practically a stage To that the judges in the drill competition between the Red Hussars and the cadets, had i to do the judging last night, and that the decision would be announced on Friday night. The Hussars did some fine work, which well merited the praise given, and the cadets also came in for wuch praise, and from the standpoint of the spectator it would a as if the judges would bave a difficult time in the awarding of their decision. All the classes in Zephra showed up remarkably well last night. The mer- ry-go-round dance is very pretty, and was put on with fine effect. The tam- hourine dance, in which eight young ladies take part, is also a special feature. The castanet dunce was good, and the young girls in the ten- nis dance carried it om with great success, The Brownies and Blackbirds were agnin general favorities, and the newsboys too, came in for a liberal amount of applause. The work of the male chorus was exceptionally good. Little Irene Harris, was very cute in her dancing, and was compelled to respond to an encore. Little Miss Norma Hughes sang "Louisiana Lou," in a manner that was most pleasing, and was warmly applauded. The song, "Migs Commodore," by Mise Jessie Reid and chorus, was well rendered, and the showers of confetti formed a most fitting finale to act three. "New Zephra" should receive the patronage of all the citizens of King- ston. It is given entirely by local talent, and for a worthy cause, but apart from this, it is a production that no ome should miss. RECEIVED A BAD SCARE. What Happened Two Young iss in the City Sak. o young ladies received quite fright ednesday ing through the Uity Park. They bad been out making a call, and it bein quite late they took a short cu across - the park. When about half way through one of them saw a man behind standing by a tree, but did not think anything of it, and they kept right on going. As it happened the man was a harmless individual badly intoxicated, who was also try- ing to pilot his weary way home. Just as the women were about to pass by him the man lost his hold on the tree and fell full length on the ground directly in front of them. One was quick enough to jump to one side and miss stepping on the man, but the other tripped over him and fell full length on the path. A piercing scream was heard by some people on the park walk and on West street, and in a moment two very frightened looking females were seen running out at breakneck speed out of the park entrance. 'The young ladies paused under the electric light to adjust their hats, brush off some mud and inci dentally to get their breath before proceeding on home. Kingstonian's Good Work.

The od] QUEENS CONVOCATION CONFERRING OF DEGREES ON WEDNESDAY. Tie Unveiling and Pmesentation of Bust of Andrew Carnegie Some Fine Addresses Were De- livered. Convocation is a notable event at Queeris University, and at the pro- cvedinge on Wednesday afternoon, which marked the sixty-seventh ses. sion of its kind, Grant Hall was fll ed to the doors, The graduates had many fiends anxious to witness the ceremonies, and it was indeed a warm greeting that they received. The proceedings 'opened at 2.30 o'clock, with eeripture reading and prayer, . by Rev. James Wailace of Lindsay. The presentation of scholar- ships, prizes and medals, took place first, and them followed the conferring of the degrees by the chancellor. A most interesting part of the pro- gramme was the unveiling of a bust of Andrew Carnegie, a benefactor of Yuecn's, which was presented to the university by Sir Sandiord Flem- ing. The address of the chancellor, ap- peared in the Whig yesterday. The bust was received by Chie Justice Maclennan, Ottawa, chairman of the board of trustees, who spoke briefly in appréciation of the gift. The chancellor was then presented by Justice Maclennan, for the honor- ary degree of LI,D., which he received at the hands of Principal Gordon. Justice Maclennan paid a warm tribute to the work of the chancel- lor, who, be said, had just completed twenty-eight years of noble service for the university. It was rather late to confer this degree, but he expressed the hope that the chancellor would appreciate the honor none the less on is account, He would say that the chancellor's own modesty had been to blame for his not having received the gift sooner. Everyone was delighted to know that Sir Sandford had heen so long spared to cccupy and merit such a useful position. He was sure that there was not one day of that long service of twenty-eight years, but bad brought about a great ceal of thought for he welfare of the uni- versity, on the part of the chancelior. The speaker referred to the work accomplished by the chancellor on the great railways, earlier in his career, | and spoke of him as one of the build- | ets of Canada. For the future of Ca- nada we would be greatly indebted to The chancellor replied in a most fit ting manper, thanking the univer- sity for the honor which had been conferred upon him. Prol. Watson proposed the name of Hon. John Charlton, for the deqree of LL.D., who on account of serious illness, was unable to be present. Prof. Watson sketched the career of Mr. Chariton, and remarked that he would be quite safe in saying, that no public man bad done more to de- serve and secure the confidence of bis fellows. presented the name earnest, Dean J.

In 1890, he gradumted in medidine at Toronto University, and . since that time, had a distinguished career, hav- ing been professor of medicive and physician in chief at Johns Hopkins University since 1005. He was the author of several medical papers and addresses. He was a Canadian who had won for himsell a foremost place in the leading medical schools in the United States. Milton H. Hersey, M.A., Montreal, also received the degree of LL.D. his name being proposed by Prof. Nicol. Prof. Nicol gave n sketeh of Mi. Her- sey! He was born in Montreal in 1569, educated in the public and high school, entered McGill and graduated in 1889, as a B.Sc. He received the de- gree of M.Sc, in 1899, and for three seseions acted as lecturer in the de- partment of chemistry at McGill, as- sisting the late Dr. Harrington. Im- mediately after his graduation he commenced his career as a public analyst, and hae been actively engag- in the praccice of his profession publicly and privat:ly since that time. In 1900, he was appointed provincial & "Everything In Hats ' {lor the C.P.R. analyst jor Quebec, and the city an alyst for Montreal. For seventeen years he has been consulting chemist His reputation was vot confined to Canada alone, be hav: ing acted for the New York, New Haven and Hartford railway, end he was also abroad on several cecasions, to testify as a chemical expert in cases of litigation. In reply, Mr. Hersey extended his thanks for the honor conferred upon him; and said that it was just nine teen veéars ago, that he had received the first of his university degrees. Af- ter practising for the past nineteen vears in Montreal, he considered it a great honor to have this renowned University of Queen's, copfer upon him such a degree. "From the halls of Queen's many men of light and learning have gone forth," he said, "and I am highly honored st now being numbered among youn intellectual fellbwship." Dean Lavell, was afterwards callad upon to address the graduates, and be delivered a most thoughtful aml inspiring address. During the course of his address, he stated that in going through life, some things would be found worth while, while others would not, and it was the man who had the power of selection, who would succeed. And what of the basis of selection ? There was no doubt es to the essential message of the umiversi- ty« "Live your own lives, sce with your own eyes, face your problems boldly, cheerfully, and without com- promise, put aside the deceit of con- ventions and the cobwebs that obscure your pest purposes, decide manidily what * you want, and strive for it without fear. And when you do ce cide, let no obstacles deter you. Over- come them, go round them, or bide your time until they disappear. only do not give up your ideal until you see a bewer one. For we assume that it will be a wealthy and noble one that as you attain it, it will point you to a higher one--and that back of any iesser aim in life will be the re membrance of the words of our Lord, when he said: 'Be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.' " With the benediction by Rev. James Wallace, and the singing of the Na tional Anthem, the proceedings were brought to a close at 4.15 o'clock. Additional Degrees.
