Williams.

The Williams family in this State occa
sions great deal of trouble. There are NJ
less than five OF them under sentence o.
| death. One from the parish of Plaqueminei
has been in the Orleans Parish Prison fol
safe keeping. Him the Governor reprieved
and decreed his perpetual confinement il
the Penitentiary at Baton Rouge. or, in de
fault Of existence being thus numerically
prolonged, for the remainder of his natura
life. But the sheriff has lien on this Viii
| llams Tor board at sixty cents per day, and
! objects to transfer his security to contrac
convict workers until the parish of Plaque
mines settles his bill. This the parish fails
to do. and Williams, no longer fearing
death. lives on as much Of the fat Of the land
as anyone else-in the Parish Prison. The
longer the bill runs the less chance he will
have to work on the jetties. The same
trouble happened when Mas was ordered
to be hanged. Plaquemines was in debt to
the sheriff Of Orleans. and the sheriff Of the
former had to pay $500 for the privilege OF
hanging Mas. Perhaps there was no bet.
ter way of spending money just then.
Another Williams is to be hanged on the
warrant Of the Governor in Terrebonne.
No bill for subsistence interf. res in this
case. but the property holders in the vicni.
ty OF the proposed execution have serious
objections. They do not consider the spec.
tacle one calculated to enhance the value of
their estates or improve the morals Of the
vlcinage. Houma may be bad enough to
have murder committed in it in defiance
of law. but it is a great deal too good to be
the site Of one according to law. The Gov
ernor is strenuously urged to select some
less favored locality, where the people need
and would enjoy the sight Of the dying
struggles Of a poor wretch choked to death
by legal moose. The people of Houma

The Ceneu0.


This superstition that the census of the
city of New Orleans will not equal the
population accredited by that taken by the
United States in 1870 is likely to prove er
roneous. The second, third and seventh
wards have not yet been compiled. but in
two of them the falling off will probably be
very slight. Tho compilation of the re.
naming wards indicates q population OF
l4I,lS6. in 1870 that Of the three wards
now incomplete was given as 6l,676. If
there is no falling off in this amount. the
population of the whole city will be given
as 2O2 S62, which. it the census Of 1870 was
correct, gives as accurate an enumeration
of the number Of people in New Orleans
this year.
Some complaints Of varying character
and importance have been made in the
daily papers. The majority OF them seem
to come from persons with chronic desires
to expose their private grievances to public
view. This disease leads one sometimes to
expose his credit at the grocery, in denounc.
ing extortionate charges. and to detailother
family ills of trivial character. A news.
paper is hardly the place to seek remedies
Of this kind. nor does it do any good to
abuse the census canvassers in its columns
if ones house has been skipped for any un-
explained reason. It would be as sensible
to advertise Mr.. Soards in the came way if
one thought his name had not been taken
for the directory instead of going to his
office and correcting the error. 1t is the
desire of Colonel Wright to have the census
as accurate as possible, and every opportu.
nifty will be given for correction before

Rruit Erowerss Fair.

The prospects Of successful exhibition
at the third annual fair of the Fruit Grow.
ers' Association of the Gulf States are very
satisfactory to its projectors. Great interest
is already taken in it in all parts of the
Southern country. and numerous competi'
tors for each of the prizes have already
signified their intention Of entering. In
addition many public spirited gentlemen,
desirous of encouraging the exhibition, have
freely contributed various amounts. The
association is exceedingly liberal in its
schedule of premiums. charges but small
assessment for membership, and proposes
to admit the public free of charge. Its sole
object is to encourage fruit growing and
aid those engaged in it. Definite arrange
ments have not yet been made for place
for the fair, but st. Patrick's Hall will
probably be the one secured.

Fresh Enterprise.

When bread becomes scarce in the house
hold. its head generally goes out to win
some. When village grows poor in its
own limited traffic, it seeks a market for its
labor or products in larger towns or cities.
When a country produces more than it con.
sumes it finds new customers in foreign
lands and continents. This is the condition
OF New Orleans today. To great extent
its people have been living of of each other
until the skeleton of trade left them is not
sufficient to feed their necessities. Con.
scious Of this fact-which must be self ap.
parent to alive are disposed 70 welcome
| and approve of any display of enterprise
which aims to extend its business abroad
and make other communities tributary to
that OF New Orleans. And such an enter
prise is that recently inaugurated by the
Louisiana State Lottery in its grand golden
drawing" which will he found advertised
at length in another column. and will,
doubtless soon be advertised in every pri..
cipal paper throughout the Union.
This enterprise, we feel fully assured, will
prove an immense success. simply because
it is possessed of all the elements of sue.
cess. Every financial authority in this sec
ton will willingly bear testimony to the
high credit and standing Of the Louisiaua a
State Lottery. which. in itself, is sufficient
guarantee of all its engagements, but when
in come ction with this we refer to the uni
versal satisfaction with which it's drawings
have ever been conducted, beyond even the
breath or taint of suspicion, its claims to
patronage at once become full and conclu-
sive. Already we hear of busy stir in the
sale of tickets, and there exists no shadow
of doubt but what the great golden draw.
ing will soon come to be regarded as one of,
if not the most interesting event of the ap-
preaching season. In any event. We wish
it success, because it is so eminently de.
serving of success.

Move On.

The Missourians are queer people: they
have queer Governor. and of him the St.
Louis journal tells queer story. 1t ap.
pears that Governor Hardin occasionally
comes to St. Louis. and as he is not gener.
oily known, he provides himself with an
insignia of his rank, which will at once
ideutify. protect and pass him into all
| places without conversation or money. The

! where they were not made truly welcome.
Being modest man, and wishing to avoid
Office seekers. Governor Hardin did not
always keep his badge in sight. as he ought

pears he was standing on the street corners
obstructing the sidewalks. and probably
talking about the great bridge and the
decline Of Chicago az city. as Gus.

Officer Burke then moved forward to carry

message-readipg the riot act. as it were
in the following language: "Gentlemen,
you will have to move on; the orders given
mo are Imperative" The Governor thought
the joke had then been carried far enough.
and he prepared to shock and surprise that
policeman as he never before was surprised
in the Whole course of his life. The Jour1o!
says: "The Governor pulled aside the lap.
pei Of his coat and displayed a badge about
the size and shape of a horseshoe,u upon which
the officer discovered the talismanic words.
Governor Of the State Of Missouri" We
can only imagine the astonishmens of the
policeman, for it is not recorded, and his
words were no: those OF an utterly
wilted man. He had probably seen hun.
dred just such badges since he had been on
the beat, and dangerous and suspicious
looking persons were all alike to him. no

An Irish AnniverAary.

We copy the following from late mum
ber of the Philadelphia Press:
At Castlebar. tho capital of the county
of Mayo, in the west of Ireland. there was
remarkable aud significant commemora
rative celebration on Sunday, May 80; II
took the shape of a mass meeting. held on
French Hill, where many French soldiers
who had landed at Killala Bay, under Gen
eral Humbert, fell in the rebellion Of 1898
The French troops were sent by tho Direc.
tory at Paris to assist the irish population,
then very much resolved on becoming indie.
pendent of British rule. The French easily
made themselves masters of killala and
Castlebar. landing at the former town on
August %, 1898. Their force. less than
1900 officers and soldiers, was utterly made
quate for the invasion of Ireland, but they
expected to be Immediately reinforced by
$4,000 more. The expedition also labored
under the material disadvantage of having
an empty military chest, and the Irish
themselves were penniless and without any
supply of provisions. If they could keep
body and soul together on potatoes and
milk, their French allies could not. The
British army that had hastily marched to
meet the French were signally defeated by
them, at Castlebar. on the twenty.seventh
of August, the only rally being at
a place still called French Hill, where
five of them were killed by superior
number of Lord Roden's fox hunters.
On the eighth Of September 10000
British troops, under Lord Corn
wallis 1.-THE same commander who had

defeated the French. then reduced to 300
men, who became prisoners of war. Thus
ended the affair. The principal object of
the rpcenf mass mppfinO Daar ia AZ 10 ha oo
to take steps for erecting a monument to
the memory of the French who perished on
French Hill in 1898. All the speakers, Ma
tionalists to the core, made strong OratiOns
in the spirit of '9S, but James O'Counor, a
released Fenian, was orator of the day. 1t
is evident that the spirit of antagonism to
British rule, though not very demonstrative
Of late, is at once deeply rooted and widely
diffused among the masses in ireland.
OF the thousands of 1rishmen in New
Orleans who fill our streets in gorgeous
uniforms in their annual parade, and to
whom the events of '9S are q sacred mem
ory. how many know of the leader of this
expedition as a gallant soldier
under General Jackson at Chalmette in
1915, as resident of this city for many
years. and as one who, dying in our midst
forty years ago. was only saved by charity
from pauper's grave. Let US suggest that
some of the Irish societies in our city re-
vive from oblivion the tomb OF Humbert,
who fought for the liberty Of two countries
besides his own, and that they pay the
annual tribute of wreath of immortelles
