- ADJUSTMENTS
The Kirmess

The concluding performance of the kir- mess was given at the Jefferson theatre last night with almost professional sang froid by the young ladies and gentlemen taking part Most of the dances on the lengthy programme were much better done than in the previous performances, due chiefly to the fact that the nervous had to a marked degree disappeared.
 The various participants acquitted them- selves in a highly creditable manner and despite the fact that quite number of the members of the original company had dropped out the dances was still quite pleasing and spectacular. In fact there were not enough absentees to detract ser- ously from the excellence of the per formance save in one or two instances.
 All the principals were again in evidence and were most cordially received. Miss Eleanor Matthews, Miss Mabel wheelock, Miss Queenie Neely. MT. Lynwood and others appeared as formerly and were much appiauded for their cleverness.
 The Kirmess Is thus brought 10 con clusion after a series of noteworthy per formances which were characterized by unusual excellence. The spectacular fea- lures were highly commendable. The costuming was especially beautiful and elaborate, while the care taken in drilling a very large company was responsible for much of the success achieved.

the House would pass 1t.

calendar in the Senate. A vote is eX-
pected on 1t before this session of Con-
