Of ex. metropolitans. Another policeman coming
up, not only admonished the fret pseer for his in.
discretion, but took him TO Jail 40 well ~ the
other disturber of the peace.

and deserves credit He understands that pc.

This way Of beating people over the head with
clubs IL relics Of barbarous custom iuaugu-
gurated under the reign OF Warmoth aud eontin-
ned by Kellogg. When these worthless were In
power the policeman was an instrument OF ep.
preston, now that Louisiana belongs to its own
people, and that Nichols is the head OF the state,
the policeman must be made TO rise up 10 the

The strongest Turkish FIR

The strongest Turkish Frontier Fortress
The most important fortress on Turk
ish ground in the way by which the
Russian army is apparently coming, Is
Shumla. located in Bulgaria, forty seven
miles from Varna, on the Black sea,
near the railroad from Varna to Rust
chuk. Shumla Is located in a gorge on
the northern deolivity Of the Balkan
Mountains, on the direct route from
Roumania to Constantinople. It is re-
garded as the key to that city. The
Notifications are unusually strong.
1774, 1910 and 1925 It is very likely
that the Turks will make desperat, &
struggle north of the Varna and Rues st.
chuk railroad, which runs a few niles
north OF Shumla. Shumla has pfJpu
lation OF $4,000 to $4,000, and ia gu lite a

THE SALUTE YESTERDAY.

Precisely at o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
booming echoes Of til guns of the Washington
Artillery and the Louisiana Field Artillery, under
the command Of Col. Glynn, announced to the
people Of the city aud State that che had cast off
her ,hrs dom, and was now once more restored
to her rights with her sister, South Carolina.
one hundred guns were fred from the foot Of
Canal street, and with each reverberation came q
pulse-beat in the heart Of every trus friend Of
louisiana. The firing, especially on the part OF

what they were going TO do.
Colonel Loan, when asked whether he was
going 10 vaeate the building at noon. replied that
he was not. He said that he had given orders to
his eommissary to distribute TO the men what
atoreH were left al noon. There can be no aues-
lion however bus that they viii nil leave very
soon.
WHEN NOON CAME
