In "The River's End," which is be- ing.presented-at-the-Strand theatre {fer the first three nights 'of this week, Kingston has one of the best plays ever put on a local screen. It was given before a capacity house on Monday night, and was vot- ed by all present as one of the best treats of the season, and many were the warm words of commendation heard when the big audience filed out of this popular theatre. Manager Wilson, who is always on the job, looking for the best the screen has to offer, is to be congratulated .on having secured "The River's End," for his theatre. It is a play that giips one from start to finish, It is' a wonderful play, with a wonder- ful cast, and calls for special men- a pA THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG ELT GAS CONDITIONS BETTER AND WILL CONTINUE TO IM- PROVE, MANAGER FOLGER SAYS Tender For Coal Awarded to James Swift & Co.--Revision of the Elec- tric Discount Rate, = | The gas plant conditions are much | improved, Ganeral.Matages..§ ; told the Public Utilities Commission | Monday afternoon.

This tender was from James Swift & Company and! offered the coal aboard vessel at the | wharf to be designated by the com- | mission, for $13.75 a ton.

Sharing honors with him is Marjorie Daw, | the ever charming actress, who takes the part of Conniston's sister. - Jane Novak, appears in the role of Mar- lam Kirkstone, daughter of the man Keith is charged with having killed, and as an emotional actress, she ranks among the best. J. Barney | Sherry, as the chief ol the Royal | Mounted, and Togo Yamamotio, as a Chinese Prince, give a very clever portrayal of these parts. "The River's End," will be pre- sented to-night, Wednesday matines and 'Wednesday night, and should not be missed. In addition to this attraction there are several other features, inciud- | ing a side-splitting comedy, "The | Star Boarder," in which Ben Turpin is featured; "The Dream," O'Henry story, and "Topics of the Day."

Taken aito- gether, the offering ranks among the best the Strand has had this season. | This is the first time "The River's | End" has been presented in King- | ston.
