the city were horror stricken. Reso-
luton after resolution, denouncing the
biasphemons attempt to impair st.
Paui's morals, has, beei passed aud the
whole city has been aroused. over
in Minneapolis, the ungodly people
are betting ten to one that the thinly
clad "Salome" will never kick up her
heels on st. Paul stage.
The tone of the opposition shows
that It is not so much the physical
revelations OF the dance OF the seven
wells that peeve the protestants.
Rather they object TO the saciilege
involved in the representation on the
stage of the CORY, seryered head OF
John the Baptist.

PACKED HOUSE GREETED
THE king OF MINSTREL 81

The best minstrel show on earth
and IL is employing no cxtravagant
catch phrase to say twas witnessed
by packed house ut the Grand last
night. The magic name of AL. G. Field
drew the house, and the performance
did not depend on past reputation to
make good. In the old days AL. Field
ranked as the minstrel king, but there
were new and brighter scintillations
from his crown last night In the old
days he knew how to select good voic-
|es and arrange clever stunts. hut he
brought superior material with him
last night. II has been said that a
minstrel is like circus--the same old
thing. but new meaning and interpre
tation was given TO minstrelsy by AL.
Field last night.
The singers are nameless here for
the writer saw no programme only

more OF extra fine voices. ranging
from the thin. fine high tenor-played
on silk string-in sweet tones
through the scale TO the low bass
notes that make you wonder how they
are brought sufficiently near to the
Iearth's surface to be heard
And the songs-they were merry
and sweet and full of music. You know
some songs have no music I'm them. II

This is called "capitalizing the com

tional explanation:
THE considerations influencing this
action are that the increased invest

and considerable as to justify the di-
rectors in the belief that it should be

of the company.
There are certain reserve accounts

present conditions render improbable
These items, together with the ex-
isting surplus as shown in the pub

operation, are regarded by the board
as a justification for making this rec
ommendation.

EAST COAST CANAL is COM.
u PLE1FD TO JACKSONVILLE.
FIRST BOAT PASSED THROUGH
THE NEW CUT BETWEEN ST.
Augustine AND JACKSONVILLE
LAST WEEK.

The gigantic work of dredging the
East Coast canal is now practically
completed, the last cut connecting Pa
bio Creek with North river having
just been finished. The work on this
vast and expensive enterprise has
been under way for more than a score
OF years aid its completion will be
heralded with delight
The canal was completed up the
coast as far as st. Augustine several
years ago and since that time the
Florida East Line Canal and Trans
portation company has had several
powerful dredge boats and large
force of men completing the last sec
ton of the canal which connects ST.
Augustine with Jacksonville, by way
of North river, Pablo creek and then
up the st. Johns river.
The last cut to connect the North
river with Pablo creek has been a
hard and tenacious task, several miles
of land having to be excavated and
dredged before the waters of the two
natural waterways could be brought
together. As above stated, this work
is now finished. but the canal forces
III be required for some time longer,
deepening certain shallow places and
Strengthening out some of the curves.
One of the, first boats to make the
trip by water throgh the inland pas
sage between ST. Augustine and Jack
! sonville was the speed boat, Dispatch
! owned by Capt Seth Perkins of the
canal company.
This means that many more small
crafts will in the future make thell
way southwark to this city and points
further down the coast, as they vii
not have to risk the uncertainties o.

is enlarged and improved, larger boat
