ARRESTED IN KINGSTON; SENTENOED AT OTTAWA Elisha Crippen Was Recently Caught In This City With a Stolen Auto. Elisha K. Crippen, who was plac- ed under arrest in Kingston several weeks ago, in connection with the theft of an automobile from Ottawa, and some. wearing apparel from 'Gananoque, came before Magistrate Hopewell at Ottawa, and was sen- tenced to a term of not less than one year, and not more than three years. The car Crippen had was the property of Mr. Gillis Steacy, Ot- tawa. The Great Taku Glacier. There are many notable sights to be seen by the tourist who has the opportunity to visit Alaska, but none more impressive than the famous Taku Glacier which lies between Wrangell and Juneau. This is one of the largest ice fields in the world. Where the ice breaks off in great bergs that fall into the sea with a roar like a peal of thunder, the glacier is one mile wide and from there it extends ninety miles back into the heart of the mountains that girdle this rich and beautiful land. It is one of the few great advancing glaciers left in North America and ft is a sight which impresses itself deeply upon those who are privileg- ed to view it. That number will be greatly increased this summer by the inauguration of a steamship service by the Canadian National Railways from Vancouver and Prince Rupert as far north ag Shag- way Alaska, with ports of call en route at Ketchikan, a typical Alas. kan Town built at the foot of the mountains; Wrangell, a city where jewelled ladies of the Russian Court danced in rustling silks when other belles were threading the mases of the minuet in towns on the Atlantic coast; Juneau, the modern and at- tractive capital of this northern outpost of the United States and Shagway, the portal to the famous White Horse Pass, whose name is linked forever with the great gold rushes where men gambled thelr lives for the sake of hidden gold. Alaska in summer 1s a land of purpassing beauty and great rich ness of color. It is a land where a holiday is an adventure and whose '| memory will linger long aftet others have faded away.

J A ---- «The customary mix-ups over the inauguration of daylight saving were apparent on Sunday. No mate ter how often people are told to change their clocks there are a great many who forget. A churéh or- ganist was among the few who were misled and had to be routed out of bed by telephone. . The service was somewhat delayed until his arrival. -~ iE DAILY BRITISH WHIG REAL MUSICAL TREAT The Recital Given by Mr. Ernest Hess In Convoca- tion Hall. One of the most delightful musi- cal treats of the season was enjoyed in Convocation Hall -on Saturday evening, when Mr. Ernest Hess gave 8 recital, assisted by Mrs. A. R. Wor- den and Dr. Thomas Gibson; under the auspices of the Queen's Univer- sity art and lecture committee. Many people who really love music were in the audience and went home en- tirely satisfied. Mr. Hess' home is in Zurich, Switzerland, where he graduated from the university with a degree of bachelor of arts, and also found time to train his excellent baritone voice under skilled teach- ers. The people of Kingston have, for the last year and a half had the pleasure of hearing him many times both on the concert stage and as baritone soloist in St. Andrew's church. - He took an honor course in arts at Queen's University this winter and will receive the degree of M.A. at Wednesday's convocation. On Saturday he sang, accompanied with the utmost effeciency by Dr. Gibson, a number of songs which showed the variety of music includ- ed in his repertbire. The programmé was an excellent one. Several songs by Schubert, one, "Dedication," by Schumann; "On Wings of Song," a favorite Mendelssohn number, and four songs by Loewe, a German song writer who Was a contemporary of Schubert, as Mr. Hess told the audi- ence. Three years after Schubert wrote his famous "Erlking" Loewe wrote his music to the immortal tory. Mr. Hess sang it with dra- matic power on Saturday evening to a wonderful accompaniment played with exquisite skill by Dr. Gibson. This was one of the gems of the pro- gramme and was applauded with a determination and persistence that brought another song. Two modern songs from "A Cycle of Life" (Lan- don-Ronald), "Down in the Forest" (Spring), and "Love I Have Wom You" (Summer), were delightfully sung. The programme ended with Invictus" (Bruno Huhn), but see- ing his audience wanted to hear him to sing again, Mr. Hess came back and sang a Good-Night song, which was very sweet and appealing. There are many things one might say about this young Swiss' voice and technique; the vibrant and yet always melodous tone, the excellent breath control, ete. But the out- standing quality which strikes most people is his love of the music he is singing, his appreciation of the words, even when they are in a language as new to him as English is, for the story of '"Archibald Doug- las" set to music by Loewe, was sung as sympathetically as . his Italian song, "Cara Mio Ben" or the gay little French song he gave as an en- core. And besides this there is his simple unaffected desire to give pleasure to his hearers, which he as- suredly does. Mrs. A. R. Worden played a "Bal- lade in A Flat" (Chopin) which was much enjoyed and responded to the applause by another number. Dr. Thomas Gibson, with the sym- pathy and beautiful technique Kingstonians have learned to expect from this great addition to our musi- cal circles, played a Pastorale by Mozart and an encore. Late Samuel Hilton. Leon Shaw attended the funeral of the late Samuel Hilton, a former Kingstonian, which took place at Hamilton oft Friday. The late Mr. Hilton was well known in this dis- trict. He is survived by his wife and two children.

He swore that one, Ross Brawley, had a hand in the burglary, and afterwards ad- mitted that the evidence he had giv- en against Brawley, was false. Braw- ley was placed under arrest at the same time as Martell was taken In charge, "but the charge against him was dismissed when, the case came before the court. "This is a very serious charge you have pleaded guilty to," said the magistrate to Martell, in imposing sentence. "It is hard for me to con- ceive of a person swearing falsely against a person and causing his ar- rest. 'I will sentence you to nine months in jail."
