T-he_ Attorney-General ‘in open- ing the case for the crown spoke in part as follows:

“As you -hafe already heard by an- nouncement made by the Prothonat- cry Dennis Peters and: limits Mc- Coubrey are indicted for man- slaughter. I might exlpiain to you what manslaughter means so that you may apply it to this case.

dlomlclde as defined by law is culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Homicide is the killing of albumen being. The kl'lling in many cases may not be culpable. if one kills another iby pure accident it is homicide but, not culpable. Murder is culpable homicide with intent. tlnnslairghter comes between these two. Where one man kills another iiy neglect of duty imposed by law and in that neglect causes the death of another that ls man- slaughter."

.An Interesting and, Eloquent Address’ by Hon. Fred J.l Nash on “The Power and the Glory.”

There was a largo attendance in (Caledonlan Club last night on the occasion of a lecture by Hon. F. [.l. Nash, his subject being “The ‘Power and the Glory" and he gave, in vt ry interesting and ekmuentud- ldress. The President Mr. D. J.. McDonald acted as chairman.

After a few introductory re» marks, the lecturer said that like others who had spoken before the Club he would stick to the last and deal with the subject with which he was most familiar. '

There was a prologue to the lec- ture which gave a brief but tell- ing description of old time journal- ists in the province namely, Messrs McCready, Cotton, Laird.‘ Fletcher, Bowers, Cavan, i-Iiggs, Lawson, lliclsaac, McCourt, and last but not least Whelan. These‘ were the men who in the past were easily amongst the most dis- tinguished newspaper men and‘ public men of their day and genes, ation; and lieutenant-governors,‘ members of parliament, authors, statesmen, noted writers, these men were brilliant and worthy to handle the lecturer termed The Power and Glory.

The subject of the lecture. Mr. Nash said, some might think he had lagarlzefl from the novel by Sir Gilbert Parker mantitled "The Power and the Glory" but said the lecturer, he did nothing of the sort for he took" it’ exactly from the same place as Sir Gilbert, and all who say their prayers should know where that is. ,,

The power was publicity through the printing press, and the glory was the achievements of journal- ism. The Power began in thr- Garden of Eden with the publish- ing to Adam and Eve what they should do and what they should! not do.

Then the Sun in its unwcarled course publishes to every land the work of an Almighty hand. lie ,traced the power of publicity all through the Divine plan regarding the Exodus, the wanderings and the coming into the Promised Laud
