Thus the political crisis which had lasted since August 4 is ended, both houses having ap- proved the sale. Dr, Kragh, leader of the Moderates, speaking in favor of the sale, said that no adequate reason had been adduced why the sale should not be made. It was a matter of pitiless nece ¥ Denmark was a small nation and th food will of the United States W greatly to be desired in the present difficult situation in Europe. He con- cluded by expressing the hope that the expectation of the population of the islands for a happy future under the American flag would be fully real Herman Trier, the spokesm the Radicals, and the Socialist lead Andersen, also addressed the hous favor of the sale. Admiral Richelieu Chamberlain, Juel Hoarringe Norby, and ILa Cour assailed the government’s policy and oxhorted the Danish people ta elect other representatives who would un- derstand and uphold the nation’s honor and vital interests. The Con- servative orators were frequently ap- plauded by the public, and the speaker finally threatened to clear the gal- leries if the interruptions continued. The Conservative minister Rotboell argued in favor of ratification. He said he had not changed his mind since 1902 when he voted for the sale. Foreign Minister Ecavenius showed that there never had been a single Danish cabinet which was unwilling to effect the sale. Foreign Minister Scavenius showed compensation to the hurricane suffer- ers, and to those inhabitants island who might suffer any from the sale. The bill was then put to the vote. Of the 40 members in favor of it 2 were Moderates, 8 Conservativ Radicals, and 4 Socialist he 1S loss why the pardoning power has been granted to the executive, and, accord- ingly, T have given great care to the examination of Cummins’ petition and the recommendations of those who support it, to the end that I might, so far as possible, impartially perform my duty, aside from my former asso- eiation with the case.” IBRATE \N\T‘l VERSARY.

I was terribly consti- pated and the more medicines I took for it the more I seemed to suffer. I had lost my appetite and felt run down and tired out and it seemed that as time went on it kept getting worse and worse. I am glad to say that I tried Herbal Lax-a-Tone and much to my surprise and gratification I am today in excellent good health and want to indorse this remedy to my friends in New Britain as I know it will give them wonderful results.” Many people in this city are exactly in the same condition as Mr. Otfinow- ski was and can get relief, said Mr. Martin the Lax-a-Tone expert at the Economy New England Drug Store, 865 Main street, the place where Lax- a-Tone is being introduced in New Britain and if the people will just take a few moments and run down and see Mr. Martin he can further convince them that Lax-a-Tone is the wonder of the century.

The show is by far t collection of attractions that has given in a year and the large audiences every nlght in- dicate that the management is not unappreciative of the efforts of the management to get the talent available no matter what the cost. Howard Thurston's great spectacle, ““Mile A Minute,” is the biggest single act ever secured for the local play- house. It is a $600 act and has been on the “big time” circuit since it left ‘““The Honeymoon Express” of which it was the most sensational feature. The show played at the Winter Gar- den in New York for a year and the Thurston specialty was its biggest fea- ture. There are many thrills in the act but the startling climax is not reached until the end when the great race betwen an automobile and a locomotive is shown. This is a re- markable piece of stage craft and it has made a small fortune for its in- ventor. The acting of George F. Harris and company, who present the sketch, something out of the ordinary for three-a-day house and the Keeney audiences are enthusiastic over it. They are none the less pleased with the work of the four Chinese acrobats. Many new tricks are introduced by the Oriental tumblers and great skill best hi i and daring is displayed.
