BOUGH, | Manager. | EDITORIAL. | It is with regret that we learn of the | inpending departure from Christiansted | ot De. €. L. Oliphant; M. C., U. 8. N., | physician in charge of the Richmond Asylums. During his term in this is- land Dr. Oliphant has evinced a most [g¥Pi L 4 1 : ol W al ol X A N 15 conscientious and admirable spirit in the discharge of his duties which has waqn him the respect and goodwill of a large section of the community. The unfor- tunate sick ones at the Leper Asylum have been carefully looked after and consideration given to make their lot as comfortablggas possible, #nd it is the good doctor with his kindly manners who has been an active spirit in this work. A visit to the Institutions of whijch Dr. Oliphant has contr! is suf- ficient to convince one of the scrupulous care and attention given to each and | every item of howeverslight importance, | and the devotion plainly manifested for | him by the inmates proves that the doctor’s charitable, and good, human na- ture has not been stinted towards these | poor peovle. The condition of the | wards and grounds likewise testifies to an energetic superintendence and an economic admioistration. The latest | advices in connection with the Leper | Asylum is the expected arrival of encugh serum to inoculate all the patients who, should the same success reward | the use of the ireatment as attended it | in Hawaii, may all in another couple of years be outside the institutior com- pletely cured. While Dr. Oliphant wiil not be here to witness this emancipation it will neveriheless be remembered, we hope, that it is largely through his inter est and efforts that this prospect is ren- dered possible. The best wishes are here extended 1o Dr. Oliphant and family for success and prosperity in ther new field of labor whatever the place that will have the good fortune to welecome them:.

Correspondence. A private dance is to be given by the Marine Corps at its Service Club in Christiansted this week. In view of the Red Cross Roll Call whiceh is now in pro- gress, the Marine Corps has very kindly decided to donate any profits from the dance to the Red Cross. —Com. | To the Editor of the ‘'St. Crowx Avis,”’ ‘ Dear Sir :- | As far as | have learned from the Bandmaster of the Native Brass Band, the only reason for the “‘inactivi- ty’’ of the Band for the past months, as referred to in your editorial note of yesterday, is lack of lighting accomo- dations in the bandstand, as th: Band is fuliy capable of readering its month- ly concerts as formerly. The public is very grateful to Mr.o Hans Boje for the loan of his gaso- - line lamp for the past three Sund=y nights, but owing to some difficulty . in operating the lamp, it did not ~ give satisfaciory service until last Sun | duy night. | [t is indeed welcome news to the pub- | lic to hear that the Native Brass Band ' expects a new set of silver plated insiru- . ments soon. The Band intends to give . its usual concerts in the coming montn, - if there is sufficient light. | What about th» electric lighting sys- . tem? ls it coming back soon. i ONE INTERESTED ; The shed at the '‘Fish. Market’”’ has | been thoroughly renovated and is now . we notice wired in and provided with ‘ stalls, in keeping with sanitary regula- . tions. This is another evidence of the . aectivity of the Sanitation Deparcment. | Recently a “'slaughter house’’ was erected ' in the vicinity of the old target house. | Little by little, we are being reniode-ied | and provided with the things that helps 1 to safeguard our health and strengthen ![ our lives. —West End News, Jan. 26th | TELEGRAMS. | ST. CROIX STATION. | London, Jan. 23rd. —Beyond the faect | that it scems established that the Brit- . ish submarine K-5 was not rammed, . there is nothing to explain the cause | of the disaster of the submarine off Lands- i end last Thursday. This was the first | British naval disaster since the armis- . tice was signed, and the worst subma- | rinc accident to the country in tirie of | peace. Many theories concerning the l disappearance of the under-water boat i are being advanced, but although an | official enquiry into the disaster is being | held on board the battleship ‘'‘Queen ' Elizabeth”’, it is doubtful whether any- thing more concerning the fate of the ; K-5 ever will be known. Wreckage has ' been found near the spot-where tke sub- | marine was last seen. ltis surmised that the vessel may have been damaged by an internal explosion, or by the great | pressure of water at the depth of five hundred feet, where the craft is suppos- ed to lie. The official list of those on j board the K-5 confirmed the prev ous | estimate of six officers and 50 men on i board. _ | Paris, Jan. 23rd.—France’s attitude in the Snpreme Council concerning repara- l tions, was the subject of a confereice this morning at the Elysee Palace.
