Just Atrived, Al A YOUNG MAN FOILED {IN HIS ATTEMPT TO CROSS THE : BORDER. Looked Upon as an Undesirable and Brought Back to Canada--Agents on Border ar¢e Wide Awake to Their Business--It id" Their Duty to Ask Questions. \ Getting across the border is vot the st thing in the world, nowadays --that is for some people. A young fellow, who had every appearance of being an undesirable, found this to be the case, on Saturday. He went over to Cape Vincent, on the steamer Ot- tawa, and almost succeeded in getting into Uncle Sam's territory. He play- éd a little game in order to do so, but the 'immigration Suthorigles, and the boat officials, who rendered? assistance, won out. When the boat reached the wharf the young fellow succeeded in getting out without any ome seeing him, until he was some distance away. He en- deavored to get a boat from ome of the liveries, and there he was detected, iby the captain on the vessel, just in time to prevent the fellow from get- ting the use of the boat. He told the proprietor of the boat house a story about' the captain wanting the boat; {and it was on this account that the man was so willing to let him have it. {The captain, however, was just in the {nick of time to prevent him getti ithe boat. The fellow was taken back on the vessel, but he again managed TO ASK ALMA MATER TO CURB THE STUDENTS ON "RUSH" NIGHT. City Council Discussed the Saturday Night Episodes--FPolice Commis. sioners Will Have a Conference With Alma Mater Officers, There was a brief and somewhat in- formal discussion, last evening, by the city council, with regard to the "rush" of Queen's University students, on Sat- urday night. The recognized that the students did not set out with the intention of tog in vandal ism, but that when 1 got excited in their frolic, they did things that afterwards they were sorry for. How- ever, the council thought that it was time that something was done to stop the uh of he Students in so far as it res in damage to property and interfered with the business of merchants. Mayor Couper said that two years ago, when several students were ar rested, it was thought that the worst features of the "rush" bad come to an end. Last year there was no troubles end, in view of that, the police com- missioners did not anticipate the "do- lings" of Saturday ni However, (had things become any worse than they did, steps were being taken to disperse the crowds. His worship said he could msssure the citizens that next vear there would not be a recurrence ol the trouble, for steps would be tak- en to counteract any attempt of the {to slip away, and this time made his lway to a saloon, and "when located {again he was enjoying a fine "John {Collins."" He had enjoyed a few be- ifore ome in authority appeared on the /seene. The official allowed him to fin- {ish his drink, and then told him, in a {quiet way, that he would have to go back to the boat, and return to Can- ada. Then there was trouble, "I'l pot go back, and you can't make me," he said. The few drinks he | taken gave him plenty of nerve, How- {ever, his bark was far worse than his {bite, and in a very few moments the {oficial had him on his way back to the boat, and when the steamer Ottawa came to Kingston, on her next trip, ! the voung fellow was one of the pass- jengers to get off. He was very angry, {and declared that he would get across {the border yet. But he won't--if the immigration agents see him coming. { When he left Kingston he carried with {him a large bottle of whiskey. People have ito "go some" these idays, if they cai pads the immigra- | tion Ofte. They keep a close tab on jevery parson, and in so doing are only carrying wt their duty. Some people have an idea that an immigra ition officer has no business fo ask so imany.. tions. in regard to personal matters) but the general public must {understand that it is their business, and that if they do not carry out | these regulations, other men will be appointed to do the work. | The other day, the steamer Ottawa twas on her way Fer to Cape Vincent. | The immigration agent was om board {avd he was seeking information from {some ladies, A man stood by, and was heard to remark, 'Well, that fellow has his nerve, all right. What right has he got to ask all these questions ? 1 bet, if he came after. me that way, he would get a cold shoulder." It was only a few minutes before the official was standing near this same gentleman, and the latter was himself giving information, Answering <ues- tions of a similar nature. He did not like it, but it was a case of having to submit, Immigration agents have a list of questions to osk, They have to do their duty, so just be as polite to them as you can. Remember, we all have our place in the world. The Coal Dealers Busy. weather the of This cold snap, which the man has been handing out for past few days, is making plenty work for the coal dealers, who are rushed nearly off their feet with the large number of orders coming in. People get anxious and are continually calling up the offices and wondeding why the coal is not delivers, and they never seem to make allowance for the fact that this cold weather in variably brings an overwhelming rush of orders. Was Close to Zero. The weather to-day was decidedly cold for the forepart of December. At Prof. Knight's observatory, the the:- mometer registered 7.4 degrees above rero, It is not considered likely that this cold snap will last long. With out sleighing, cold weather like this is anything but pleasant. In the back country, there is lots of gnow. -------------- Off on a Trip C. H.

He further stated that he | was in communication, on Saturday night, with Lieut.-Col. Burstall, com- manding the R.C.H.A., with regard to 'ealling out a party of batterymen, if absolutely necessary, but on coasulta- tion with the chief of police, the lat- ter advised that this be not done, un- less the crowd got entirely beyond the ecomtrol of the police, for people would assuredly be hurt if the military were turned out, and lumocemt ones might suffer. Ald, Carson said that if his request had been carried out there would have been no trouble. He wanted the chief of the fire department to send out » hose waggon and somk the "'rioters." He thought that a dose from the chemical hose would be the thing. However, the chief would not accede to his request. Ald. Chown said that he would ad- vise the mayor, as head «f the police commissioners, to have » quiet con- ference with the heads of the Alma Mater Society,of the university, and be was sure that such a conference would result in more good than arbi- irary measures. He was sure that the student body as a whole looked down upon rowdy actions upon - the streets, and he thought that the conference he suggested would result in no further disturbances of the Saturday night kind. It could be arranged that the students would confipe their "'rush" to the middle of the rowd, and not inter fere with people on the walks or with places of business or amusement. The mayor said he would do as Ald Chown "= The council did not care to put auything on record in regard to the matter, which was only incidentally discussed. HAD MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

Daniel Pomeroy, of Bellrock, who was struck by a Kingston § Pem- broke\railway train, at the mill Pres. ing, at Verona, on Monday afternoon, had a miraculous escape. People who were on the scene, short- ly after the accident occurred, state that he was thrown several feet, and that it was expected that he would have been very seriously hurl. As soon as possible, willing hands came to his assistance. He suffered a bad shaking up, but so far as known, at present, he had no bones broken. The horse was killed instantly, and the rig was smashed.

She is the Personification of Grace and Airy Lightness--Her Juliet Was a plendid Piece of Acting. A charming little personality, graceful as a willow branch and fairy- like in all her movements, is Miss Bar- bara Tennant, who made hé&r Cann: dian debut at the Grand Opera House on Monday night. Her entry in the dramatic world was an auspicious ome for not always is a young aspirant for fame greeted by an audience which is at once so fashionable and so in- tellectual as was last night's gather- ing. The military volony was well re- presented and Queen's, too, sent J its quota of 'appreciative hearers. The orchestra played capitally its selections from the Mendelssohn music and Regi- nald Murray, who sang several times, while not possessing a voice of much range or power, gave his numbers with dramatic effectiveness emhanced by the clearness of his enunciation. ' Miss Tennant comes on the stage in a clinging gown of rose, a cloud grey soarf caught about her trailing out from her arm. At times her gestures were almost articulate and she showed a depth of dramatic possibilities which time and experience will more and more fully disclose if she continues in the work on whith she has set out While every bit of her recital was good the potion scene from Romeo and Juliet was undoubtedly her best. Bar bara Tennant was entirely lost in the daughter of the Capulets wild with terror at the thought of being put among the bones of her ancestors in the close-packed vault. Special praise must be given the actress (for she deserves that name) for staying on the floor in the heap in which she had fallen after drinking the potion, and not rising to respond to the burst of applause that sent the curtain up af ter it had rung down on the scene's close. As. Puck, insu of living ireen st. was delightful romping and laugaing with all the impish gaieties of that being, who plays pranks througa the "Micsummer Night's Dream." The lesson with the fan was also a very fetching little bit of coguetry as fin ished as it was artless and "My Ships" became quite 5 touching little byvic under the caress of iss Ten nint's pretiy voice, mt somehow Kip haog's masterpiece "Gunga Dhin"' was too heavy and too suggestive ob the gruesome side of war ior ome so deli eately artistic and such a ereature of air and light as Barbara Tennant. The recital concluded with 5 jittle playlet, "Cinders" with Miss Ten. nant in 'the title role, which she act. ed in a very attractive way, Harold Edwarde as "Mr. Waranter" for whom her mother "did" assisting her. Me, Edwards voice was remarkably dis. tinct and his acting very promising, The stage wettings were capital. ICE AT CURLING RINK.
