ST. PATRICKS DAY.
As in former years this great day
will be celebrated with all due re-
spect and pomp. Hence a typlcally
Irish play will be staged. This Will
he in the form of a romantic comic
opera in two acts, entitled The Lass
of Limerick Town" This is a rather
pretentious play, which will most GER
tainly please The plot is well de-
veloped and the interest is kept up
to the very last moment. This is not
an amateurish composition, but that
of a noted writer and composer,
Arthur A. Penn, author and composer
of yokohama Maid and other IA
nous comic operas. The plot evolves
around the fulfilment of a promise
made by a certain Sir Charles Worth
ington to his old friend, Donovan Nc
Gov. on the latter's dying bed, that
his son, Pomeroy, should marry Nc
Coy's daughter, Rose, when the son
should come of age. The boy soon
comes of age and sets out to fulfill
the promise, when the inevitable tnlrd
party, in the person OF Betty, appears
on the scene, and then begin the fes-
tivities Complication after complied
ton arise. all with a humorous side,
until a kind of deadlock is formed,
which is, however, happily broken by
the testimony of an old New England
uncle, and then the curtain falls be-
fore a delighted audience.
The cast has been chosen from
among Algiers' most talented young
men and women. 1t will be an
nounced in our next issue. The play
is for the special benefit Of our good
Sisters, for the purpose OF making
some very much needed improve
ments at the Convent.
The play will be given on the 10Th
of March and the general admission
will be so cents. The tickets will be
on sale in a few days.

funds for war purposes. After
the services all being over Bro,

Let's not go to sleep any
night feeling that we might
have saved an American
soldiers life by being a little
more liberal, a little more pa
triotic, a little more self-deny-
ing by making it possible to
have had at his bedside the
one thing necessary.
And let's not wake up in
morning wondering if in the
nights death toll there was
any casualty that by the farth-
est stretch of possibility might
have been charged against our
individual selfshness.
Above all, let's not be
haunted by the fear that some
bleeding mother heart is due
to our close-fstedness.
Let us get our hearts and
pocketbooks ready for the

The blacksmith and wood work shop
of Mr.. W. M. Jones, ST., was almost
totally destroyed this morning at

origin, as there had not been any fire
in the building since O'Clock the after
noon before Several hundred dollars

most of the machinery on the first
floor was saved. There was no insur-
ance on either the building or contents.
