Living Pictures.

Owing to the heavy rain Tuesday night
there was no performance Of the enter
tainment at the corner of Central and
Lincoln avenues. Last night there were
many present to witness the play, 'Tci on
Parle Francais," and the living pictures.
The latter are very artistic. There was
the addition of a special curtain for the
pictures last evening which they did not
nave the opening night. and the sloping
floor was placed in position. so that the ac-
commodations were much more COM
Portable. Tonight and for the remainder
Of the week four additional pictures will

be open each night for the rest of the

some effort to secure the latter, but it has re-
manned for all enterpriSiug and spirited oiti-
zen, to conceive, to project, and to erect, at
his entire cost, and in the very centre of the
town, a Hall sufficient for all purposes hat

in High street the structure advancing,

place like Bridgetswn was almost a necessity,
for it afforded amusement to which people
could resort to divert their thoughts from the
cares and excitement of the day. For this, if
for no other reason, Mr. .Inniss would be had III
remembrance in the future.
Three cheers were accorded His Excellency
for a speech that told on the audience. At
the conclusion of the speeches about four
hundred of the guests retired to the spacious
room adjoining the Hall, where a sulnptuous
supper had been prepared by the liberal pro-
prietor, and to which ample justice was done,
while the Band discoursed sweet music to add to
the zest of the vivands. Here the Governor
proposed the health Of Mr.. Inniss which was
drunk with applause. We must not omit to
to mention that the Hall was photographed
by the talented artist Mr.. Taylor, by flash
light.
1t remains only for us to say that the hall
is entered from High-strrct by a broad stair
way, and by another way from Palmetto
square. On arriving at the top Of the stair
you stand be ore a good stage or platform,
sufficient for such pieces as are usually put on
the boards here. The area Of the Hall is pro-
vided with chairs sufficient to seat upwards
of two hundred persons. A gallery on two
sides would seat two hundred, and
the back gallery would furnish seats for a
large number. There are dressing stalls for
ladies and gentlemen for the theatre from
which there is a private entrance to the stage.
In a word the Theatre, though a miniature
one, supplies all the conveniences that are to
be found in the Spacious and popular ediioes
elsewhere. We emphasize the Governors
words, that Mr.. Inniss, for his energy, public
spirit, and liberal outlay for the put pose. de-
mands the gratitude of the whole community.

How true the old adage which says there
is nothing new under the sun may be seen by
the following, which appears in the Ke0 Bui-
lstin for this month, ON the subject Of Surf
nam Banana meal: "A good account Of plan
tain meal and its value for food purposes was
published by Pro.Johnston in theTr0msactions
Of the Highland Society, No. 20. This was re-
produced IN the Barbados agricultural Re
porter, Aug, 9Th, 1913. The inquiry was
started by the receipt Of a sample of plantain
meal sent to Scotland from Surinam or Dutch
Guiana. 1t is remarkable that after an inter
val of nearly fifty year. the starting of a fac
tory for the manufacture of %plantain meal IN
the same colony should once more bring the
subject into notice.

The citizens of the United States have been
hitherto credited with a large amount of
shrewdness in everything relating to business.
and it was thought 10 other nation on
the face of the earth could compare with them
for cleverness in finance and trade, but the
conduct of tariff and currency legislation in
that country during the last few years has
altogether disillusionised us on these matters.
jonathan has in fact over-reached himself,
and by his greed and sslfshnoss has gone
far to ruin both his commerce and his cur
lency. This has been more especially made
evident in the tariff manipulation in refer
ence to trade relations with the West Indies,
where it has been a case of "the engineer
hoist with his own petard."
