illness Of ten weeks. For some time

Lutheran church, the Hauges Synod,
where Rev. Midtbo has not been and
he had also been in many congrega-

During the 7O's he served many
parishes in Wisconsin and did much
mission work. In 1880 he moved to
South Dakota and then began his
great church activities which took him
over nearly all Of South Dakota east
OF the Missouri and much of the
western part of Minnesota. 1t was
not an unusual thing for him to preach
from seven to ten a week and drive
from 125 to 200 miles a week. From
'S5 to '92 during the summer vaca-
tions Herman, his oldest son, was with
him almost constantly and Herman
became the most widely known min
isters son in South Dakota and west
ern Minnesota.
In 1892 he moved to Kansas, a few
years later from there to South d.

REMARKS.

LNA-'A-AAhiA''
The widow Of Policeman Teytaud died on
the 9th November 1910.
The Governor introduced the amendment
and recommended it, adding, that it needs
no explanation.
1st Crown Member (ellelerS,1) said that he
had looked through the items for road and
building repairs and had seen no ltem for
repairs of the crossing aud bridge ut the
intercourse i'll Kings Street. As III wet
weather the crossing was difficult and some
times perhaps even dangerous, he thought
it very desirable that something should be
done, and would suggest that the amount
which was entered for repairs to a building
on the Quay, namely over 100 francs, should,
if possible, be transferred to this work. He
thought the repairs to the building on the
Quay could well bo put off for several years
yet. The roof was good and the Building
could stop for the ram, and that was in re-
aIlty sufficient. The amount would be much
better used, if spent on the Bridge. He
thought the sum would cover what the
bridge could cost especially as he presumed
the Prison gang could be used at the
work, and material taken from the Old gravel
pit on a lot belonging to the Colonial Treas
ury; he concluded in recommending the
Budget amended in accordance With these
yiowS.
Bird Crown Member IL. PelerSea) said
that "a, Member Of the Street aud Building
Commission he had examined the Q uay
building referred to by the honorable
Member, aud while he would not say That

repairs were DELAYED now. The repairs ought
to be carried out "a soon as possible in
order to avoid heavier expenses later on.
1st Member for Christiausted Town (Mahe-
ula14) in connection with the Post Office
expenses would ask the Government if it
was not possible to have a Post Office Order
exchange between these Islands and the
United States established direct Now they
20 via London. it lasts 2 org months, that
is too much. The Eumber of persons leaving
here for tie States had greatly increased in
recent years, and it often happened that
small sums were sent to relatives left behind.
Occasionally these had been lost, net hay
ing been sent in registered letters. For
such remittances and for the convenience
generally of remitting slr I'll sums, he
thought it very desirable that a direct postpl
mouey-orler exchange should be established
with the United States.
He would Il SO suggest that the charge of
lOcfs. on small parcels arriving here through
the post should be gwen up 1t was true
that the charge was u small one, but it was
charged on all parcels, even on very small
ones which perhaps were not worth much
more than the charge, and it seemed to hun
desirable that it should be ab5isheI. It's

Last Nights Play.

Fl The Bachelor" was presented at
the opera house last evening with
Paul Gilmore in the leading role. or
rather as the whole play.
4 Paul Gilmore has been coming here
for years in plays such as At Yale
and The Mummy and the Humming
Bird that thrilled the audience and
his admirers went TO the opera house
last night expecting to hear some
thing good. Paul Gilmore was good;
lie is always good; he is good to look
upon, but in the play las. night his
talent was wasted.
The Bachelor is supposed to be a
comedy. but comes nearer being a
farce of play.
Miss Hutchinson, the leading lady,
is pretty young southern girl and
plays her part successfully. She has
ease OF manner and is very graceful.
She lisps slightly in her speech, which
il rather pleasing.
But THE Bachelor" The plot, if 1t
has one, begins with confirmed
bachelor becoming engaged to his
stenographer because he thinks she
loves him. Then the stenographer
learns that he proposes to her without
being in love himself and hen she
rejects him.
The last act is in the bachelors of
fee, who is Wall street broker, and
there he convinces her that he really
has loved her for long time anc
did not know about it.
Paul Gilmore Is a. charming actol

Winthrop Atnes made it plain: that
the institution has no, antagonism of
any sort toward commercial manag-
ers, and said he was glad to sea
around him SO many men In whose
hands lay the future of dramatic art
In America. He felt that: the theatre
had accomplished so much he was JUS
tilted in asking the help Of these men.
The founders, ike himself, he de-
clared. would De grateful t. editors
for their suggestions, and to authors
for theirs. He hoped: the pIavWrlghts
would continue to bring their works
to The New Theatre, and asked that
inasrnuch as there was no antagonism
toward managers that they maintain
interest in the project. He felt sure
that the dramatic critics would un.
derstand the purposes of the mansg-
ers of the institution, even when they
found it necessary to criticise severe
ly. and he knew he would have their
