The Toronto "Varsity" favors the adoption by the Intecollegiate Hock- ey Union of the O, H. A. offside rule. It says: "Since last Saturday's game be- tween Queen's and Varsity there has been very thuch adverse criticism re- garding. the Intercollegiate offside rule. In contrast to the O. H. A. rule regarding offsides a player in the Intercollegiate hockey union THE is practically the only difference be- tween the two offside rules. The 0. H. A. rule is in vggue in Ontario only, while the Intercollegiate rule is used both in the east and west. There is a movement on foot in Win- ningg Mpwever, to adopt a rule 4l- lowing a player to skate another'on- side In the Queen's game last Sat- urday neither team was able to ef- fect any combination due entirely to ithe Intercollegiate rule. The play- jers would no sooner get started {when they would be called back for offside. The only solution seems to be the adoption of a rule permitting one player to skate another onside."

A. be- coming an international association by the taking into the circuit of New York and other American cities, the Stanley cup will be withdrawn from the association by the trustees, Trustee Foran intimated some time ago that the deed of gift made is a solely Canadian trophy, and that he- did not think that Lord Stanley intended the cup for international competition. At present the inclu- sion. of New York or other cities across the line does not seem very probable for some years to come.

AT THE GRAND AS MAN WAS ABOUT TO BE AR. RESTED, v Little Girl Accused Man of Keeping Ring She Found on Street -- It . Was Returned Just in Time to Save Him Going to Cells, | "All's well that ends well," is an old saying. It was but a plain gold ring, per- haps worth $12, not much more, at any rate, but it caused a great flut- ter of excitement in police circles on Friday afternoon for a time, in addition to eausing much trouble to a certain man, a resident of the eity. The man was accused of stealing the ring, and the owner of the ring had taken out a warrant for his ar- rest. Just as the warrant was about to be served on the man the missing ring turned up. It all happened in this way. A certain lady went shopping. Includ- ed in her purchases was a pair of gloves, On putting on the new gloves she found that her outfit of jewelry, which consisted of four gold rings, caused her some trouble, after putting on the gloves. For this reason, she took off the rings and for safé keeping, placed them in her old pair of gloves, She visited other stores and lost the gloves, with the rings. A litle girl, who was on an errand for a friend, picked up the gloves with the missing rings and later on they fell inte the hands of TWENTY-FIVE ¥EARS DEAD John Carruthers Was a Princely Citi- | | » zen of Kingston THE LATE JOHN CARRUTHERS 1t is just twenty-five years ago to- day, Saturday, February 14tK, since John Carruthers, one of Kingston's princely citizens, passed to rest at the age of seventy-five years. : Mr. Carruthers: was a wholesale grocer and extensive ship owner.

The ' ittle girl swore positively that the man had secured the four rings, but | he said "Ne". There was a good deal of controversy over the matter, | until finally the man, woman and | child implicated in the case, were aaled to the police station in an af- | tempt to have the case straightened | out | The little girl still persisted that i the man had the ring, and.he con tinued to deny if. The owner of | the rings then decided 10 take oii a warrant, charging the man with | theft and proceeded to the city clerk's office.

The ring it was stated, had been found on the flog at the home of the acdused The excitement was then over The woman got possession of her ring again, and was made happy, but the accused came within an ace of going to the cells.
