The Hon. Dr. F. A. Holmes,
Speaker of the House of As-
sembly, died at half past fcur
this afternoon
Verily, Bahamians are tlie most
patient And long suffeiing people
on this fair eailli of ours.
During the past summer the
Ward Line Tender "Colonia" lias
repeatedly developed defects
mounting practically to a hieak
down, and yet we find yesterday
morning on the arrival of the "Vi-
gilancia ', nn what we term the
first trip of the wintet season, I hat
the'lender is unavailable owing
to another break-down, and the
passenger* tumbled inlc the lighter
"Brothers" and towed ashore.
What promise does this give for
the ensuing tourist season ?
Suppose it had bten rough this
morning and the shipcompelled to
go to -..nth West May or Cock
lanes anchorage, What ancxpeii.
ence there would be for the passen-
gers to tell other friends who may
propose to follow them later.
It is about time tint somebody
should pull themselves together
and realize their responsibilities
to the public, and call upon the
Waid Line to provide a proper
tender for the tiansport of paattQ*
gers from ship to shore.
The "Colonia" is evidently un-
fit for service, and must be taken
off, or, we say, at the risk of being
considered; a bird of ill omen, some
day in a rough sea there'll be a
break down on thfl Bar and a lot
of people drowned, and, then Good-
bje to Nassau as a Winter touiist
resoit.
Vera fo gratiis.
The Telegraph Cable which de
veloped a "Fault" in June has be-
come so uncertain in its working
that nearly all messages are now
being handled by Wireless tele-
graph, With very little delay.
On the Florida siacour telegrams
are transmitted to and received
from the wireless station of the
United States Navy at Jupiter.
Navy Stations, ordinarily, do not
accept commercial messages frim
shore stations but, on the request
of the superintendent" of telegraphs,
nn exception is being made in the
present instance, and during the
uncerta.il. working of the cable.
Arrangements are being made
for the cable repair tug of Western
Union Telegraph Company, at Key
West, to proceed as soon as possi
Die to Jupiter and make repairs.
The "Fault" in the cable is close
by Jupiter.
In another column will be seen an
advertisement of "Christmas Mu
sic" to be given in Trinity Chinch
on Monday next, when a silver
collection, in aid of the "Kpworth"
Fund, will be taken up. Hi Ex-
cellency the Governor and Mrs.
Iladdon- Smith have intimated
their intention of being present.
The contributors to the pro
gramme are tou well known to
need any recommendation from us.
We expect to be able to publish
the Programme on Saturday.
It is rumoured that a stale of
riot exists at Wilson City, Abaco.
The Commandant and twenty
Policemen, left last night for Aba-
co.
Among the passengers from New
York yesterday was Mr. Green,the
ManufCl of the Hotel Colonial.
The Lighthouse Tender 'Carnai-
von' arrived tins morning from
the Leeward and Northern light-
stations.
There will be no Band Concert
on the Library Green tomorrow.
The Imperial Theatre is putting
on a Special Programme for Fri-
day night. 'The Knights of Rhodes'
in three Reels, and the "Ani-
mated Weekly." Mr. Asa H. Plit-
chard will sing, on the occasion,
"Oh dry those tears."
"The Knights of Rhodes" pic-
tures one of the most glorious ex-
ploits of Martial Christianity, and
depicts wonderfully well one of
those ancient scenes of the Cross
against Paganisrr. This should not
be missed. See to-morrow's issue for
description of "Rhodes," and Ad-
vertisement. Prices is. 3d., is., and
6d. Secure seats eaily.
The "Imperial" is giving a first
class show this evening. See Adver-
tisement.
Up to the time of out going to
Press445no Cablegrams had
been received.
