The Roman Catholic protests posted on the door of our office engaged the attention of a curious crowd all day yesterday, and gave rise to no little comment from many Catholics a number of whom eras- ed their names declaring they had never signed the documents. Mr. Vincent Ja- cobs stract. out his name and called upon us to protest against its uaving heen there. He was not present at the draft- ing of the protests and never signed, he says. Inregard to his mother’s name which also appears there, he states that his mother has for some time been, and still is in Santo Domingo, and therefore could not and did not sign. Here is a splendid example of what the whole thing is worth. The protests with which these names were transmitted, not bear- ing the signature of anyome who may have forwaided same, it will be our opin- N A B X AN LB ion until better informed, that this af- fair is a monster forgery. We are conse- quently very much persuaded to ‘remove the lists as ridiculous humbugs having a tendency to insult the public. a Mr. R. H. Amphlett Leader having been appointed by the National Surety Co. 1o fill the vacancy as postmaster at Frederiksted whicen positionis bonded by that company, our journalist friend as- sumes control of the office in West End from today. While sorry to lose Mr. Leader as one of the brilliant heads of this community, we are nevertheless glad to learn that a field of usefulness has opened up for him in the homeland. We desire t) offer him our warm congratulations upon his entering Into public life where it is quite sure he will give a good account of himself and lasi- ly we hope he will still find time enough now and again favour to us with some of his literary productions which have al- ways been welcome contributions to this paper. & :. 8.

On the Estate, Sept. the thirtieth. Dear Mr. Yohansen: ““I dreamt a dream,’’ the dreamer cried; ““What could you dream but dreams,’”’ the fool replied. I am ritting you to tell you of a dream I had last night; of course I do not sup- pose you believe in dreams, I don’t, and want every boddy to understand that what I say here is not true; I only write it to fill up space in the Avis as most of the time there is only adds and you see these lead to trouble. I dreamed that I was walking on the wharf and picked up a letter, I thinkit was from 1 offishal 2 another in St. Thomas as on the envelope was marked ‘‘Penalty for private use Franes 1500.00. The letter said, I think it is advisable that you come with all possible speed to Christiansted She is becoming- a regular ‘‘rough house’’. In faet she is running like an old Ford and wants adjustment; bring spare parts, especially a muffler. When you land you will perceive a notice on Mr. La Begars door called ‘‘squat the fly’’. (These are not so bad new) the other door is the entrance to Mr. Yohansen and on that door you will see a document that looks like. the Declaration of Ind?pehd_ence of Christiansted. This is not whot it is; but is called ‘‘A Protest’’. Since these documents have ‘ceared to pass between America and England, England and Germany, Germany and France, France . and Turkey, .urkey, .ind ltaly, Italy and . Japan, Japan and China Chinaand Bulgza- . ria. they are coming from Frederiksted. " You will also perceive that the only -brighc heads on this Document are the heads of the tacks and they have got ~dull. When you have passed that, and reached my office I would like to intro- duce tv you a little fellow n2med Johnuy ~ who I think ecan run for Jongress when he is about six months older. 1 was so glad to see my name in the letter that ] awoke and nearly forgot to remember that there was a P. 8. on the letter which said bring a clock so as we can time this old ford right.€ i : Yours truly | JONNIE IGNATZ. | TELEGRAMS | ST.
