EXTRA POLICE FORCE. -The action of
the Council in increasing by three the
number of policemen for our city is
highly appreciated by every one. Only
a few nights ago, an innocent and in
offensive man was ruthlessly knocked
from the banquet by some parties, and
on account of tho insufficient number
on the force, none of them being present,
no assistance could be rendered. Re-
trenchment and reform IN all our ex-
penditures is of the utmost Importance,
but it would be strange economy to
suffer the Inconvenience and disastrous
results attendant upon the lack of a
sufficient police force or curtail the city
charities when the demand is so great
and pressing, in order to save few
dollars. We question the motives of no
one, and we are satisfied the public
mind will not be prejudiced by the &C.
ton of the majority of the City Council
in refusing to deprive the city of it's
legitimate and necessary requirements,
in order that their actions might have
the semblance of retrencbment and eco

The CRY TnIE.-Of late, the sun has
had very little to do with the time OF
day in Baton Ronge. Superintendent
Birds 6 o'clock bell is rung at 5:35 the
oil factory blows its - o'clock whistle
at ll:25; the catholic church rings the
6 2. NJ. at 6:15, and the penitentiary bell
records the midnight hour at l1:l6 sharp;
Mr.. Waller regulates the sun twice daily
by his chronometer Mr.. Simon has the
moon for his guide, while Mr.. johnson
invariably observes the rule of general
average, approximating if not what is
correct, at least what he thinhe is the
correct time. The question arises, who
has the correct hourg We would mod
estly suggest that if the owners of the
clock above the bank building are not
able Or disposed to keep it in order, but
would willingly give the use of it to the
city, it would be wise act, appreciated
by every one, should the City Council
employ some one yearly to regulate and
keep it in running order. This certainly
would be source of great satisfaction
and convenience to everyone, and in
our opinion small amount annually
conld not be more judiciously and bene-
fcially expended.

LEVY-DUGGAN-In this city, at the brides
residence, by the Rev. G. Delacroix, on the 18th
inst, Mr.. EDGAR LEVY to Miss HANNAH DUG.
GAN, both of this parish.
In our last number we complained Of
the stagnation existing in the matrimo-
NAL market of the Capital City. No
sooner, however, had that issue gone
forth, than the contradictions began to
come in thick and fast evidenced too,
by subtantial remembrances to the adj
dress of the CApIToLlAN. On the out
side of a neat package containing cake
and wine came the notice which pre-
cedes our remarks. Of course, we were
pleasantly surprised at the event, and
we did the only thing that was practice
able: We drank full bumper in honor
Of the happy couple, wishing, at the
same time, that they would never en-
counter any other but days of prosper
ity made bright by Loves unclouded
happiness. They will please accept our
thanks.
GIMLER-SCARBORO at the
Catholic Church, November 18th lseO, by Rev.
Father Delacroix, Mr.. LOUIS J. GINfLER to
Miss BENA SCARBOROUGH this city.
1t is with unfeigned pleasure that we
record this happy contamination, espe-
cially as the parties to it are young,
and with trusting hearts and tender
affections, as is common with ties form
ed in the spring-time Of life, will grow
and strengthen in delicate tendrils un-
till the softening beams of matrimonial
happiness hovers like q picture Of joy
around them. We are tempted to say
"two hearts that beat rs one" but
the beauty of the bride and tho noble
traits of he groom render the words
inadequate to express the beauties Of
the thought which flashed into life as
the happy couple bowed in willing
submission to the VOWS which
made them one in love and truth. A
bright future opens to them, and the
CArlToIIAN prays that no cloud will
ever spec the ethereal canopy which
invites perpetual sunshine.

black as tar. At the wheel was an old
gray mule and large white OK, and in
the lead was little Texas pony. The
wagon was loaded with seed cotton.

losing his money, put up his clothing,
piece by piece, till Logan had him in
the condition he entered the world

the streets in this condition, Logan
very generously gave him back his
clothing. Determined again to make q

Godeys Lady's Book for December,
closes the one hundred and first volume.
We have noted its course through the
year, and are free to say that its present
publishers have more than maintained
its high reputation, and have certainly
fulfilled every promise they made in
their prospectus at tho beginning of the
year. The literary matter is first class !;
the steel plates are excellent, and the
pattern work alone worth more than
the price Of single number. Its low
price, - per annum postpaid, places it
within the reach of all. We will re.
ceive subscriptions at this office, and
furnish the Lady's Book and CAPITOLlAN
for one year, postpaid, for only 1915.
This is an excellent time to subscribe,
We learn that the Lady's Book in 1881
will contain complete novel in every
number, and all the old departments
will be preserved, thus making every
issue complete 10 itself.
