Consul Valdemar Rise, K. D., died in Co
penhagen yesterday of congestion of the
brain, aged 81 years. The sad news was re-
ceiyed by a telegram and caused a fee NJ
Of deep regret.
Mr.. Rise was born in Copenhagen but
spent all his life in this island, from which
iii health caused him to retire shoit ly over a
year ago. He will best be remembered by
his ownership of the Apothecary Hall, which
both in comedy appearance and reliable ser
wee became known far and wide. In bust
ness affairs the name was recognised as re-
presenting u~prightness and integrity, while
ID the social world it stood for selcctness.
Few persons if any evinced a deeper and
more genuine interest in all that concerned
the welfare Of st. Thomas, knowing which
caused us to say at the time OF his retire
ment that the island had lost one of it's best
residents.
We announce his death with sorrow and
offer the members of the bereaved family

follows
The receipts for the week were 81 bales,
making the total to date of new crop cotton

posed to sell, provided they can do so on q
basis Of Fully Fine 23c, Extra Fine 26c. The
quality Of the crop is better than last year,

satisfactory quality, and possibly at some
concession from the above prices. For this

At the early hour of he had met two

Two weeks before. when Angela, per-

friendship for Angela.
"If Glenn Abbot could only make me
a call of half hour once week I'd see

The Germans went to Tsingtao; French men to various garrisons along the coasts or proceeded homeward; Aus trians went by way of America, back to their native land. The British have only now begun to move. Reserve of ficers, of which there are a number in the Far East, have been summon ed to return. to England, and with them several hundred young men are leaving China, throwing up their po- sitions and paying their own expenses back home to volunteer. German, French, and Austrian business houses were at first seriously affected as a consequence of the drafting of their clerks. Now the British interests are beginning to suffer depletion in their staffs, and also the Chinese customs service, the directors of which are largely British.
