rnnning short of his dollars, has re-
covered his peace Of mind now that be
has learned that Assistant Treasurer
Flanders is ordered by the treasury
department to send back to the mint
all the silver deposited with him by

This order will entail the transfer
of million dollars during the next
two weeks, In the meanwhile, the
employees of the mint are very busy
filling orders from the country. Yes
terday 100000 were sent away, and
so far to-day $4,000 worth has been
ordered. This indicates a pretty heavy

comparatively by the work done yes

where $50, 500 of silver orders were
received and sent to the mint.

of our Lake Charles and Bagdad hunt
ers have been having rare sport lately.
A few days ago Ii. c. Gill and q. M.

the pine woods, on the head waters of
Hickory Branch, for camp hunt and
the recreation of camp life. In one
week Messrs. Gill and Gossett, with
rifles and without dogs, killed ten deer,
and three splendid pairs of antlers now
adorn the entrance to Mr.. ellis store.
Early this week, sheriff Lyons, Capt.

made drive in the Bayou Dinde woods,
a few miles below Lake Charles, and
killed five deer before breakfast.

A QUESTION or CONSTRUCTION.
When Do Their Terms Expire .

There appears to be some doubt as to
whether an election for select councilman
of the Third ward, and Aldermen Melon
omy. Good and Donnelly, o: the First,
Fifth and Eighth wards. shall or shall not
he had at the ensuing municipal election
in February.
Last February Major X. W. Shenk was
elected select councilman of the Third
ward. lie died and Adam r. Barr was
elected his successor. Heretofore the
practice has been for council to elect = Sylc-
cessor ''for the unexpired term but it is
claimed by some that this is illegal and
that the vacancy should be filled by an
election by the people at the next succeed
ing city election. The more prevalent
opinion is that counci! has a right to fill
the vacancy for the full length of the uil-
expired term.
As to the case OF the aldermen there is
more doubt. They were elected in Feb
r,lary, 1876 but their commissions. which
run for term Of five years. bear date No
vcmbcr 6, 1876 and would therefore expire
November 6, 1881 but the act OF Assem-
bly, of March 10, 1915. provides that
"city officers whose terms of office
would expire in November, 1876. or any
year thereafter, shall continue in office
unC1l TIC ltISI OI Apili ioiloNh!S, schoOl
directors excepted. The question is, do
the aldermen of the wards named
hold over until April, 1899, or do their
commissions expire November; 1891 and
if they expire in November, 1881, shall
their Successors be elected at the ensuing
February election. Under the provisions
of the act .of March 10, 1915, common
councilmen elected in October OF that year
held over until the 1st OF April, 1877. But
common councilmen arc not commissioned
by the governor, and aldermen are. And
arc aldermen ''city officers?''
The act OF May 23d, 1874, says: Each
OF the wards of the said cities shall be en-
titled to one alderman : !: said alder
man shall be elected ut the municipal
election next preceding the expiration of
the commission of the justice Of the peace
resident in the district out Of which said
ward shall be created
1t will be necessary to have an s. official
decision pretty soon, as the mayor is
obliged to make timely proclamation of all
the offices to be filled at the ensuing cleo
tion. The city solicitor has been asked
for an opinion, aud it is probable the mat
ter will be referred to the attorney general
also.

tended, some forty to fifty youths and
young men being present. The subject
was set forth on the black-boards in brief

as to the organs themselves, and then as
to their structure, sccretions and functions.
The lecture was of a practical character,
being illustrated with diagrams, charts,
skeleton and prepared slides of tissues and
parts of organs shown under the compound
microscope. Three very fine microscopes
were on duty upon the table in the room,
to the rear Of the audience hall, to which
the attention of all present was invited at
the close of the lecture. This physiology

Hirsh, who suggested, however, that it
would be the proper thing to telegraph to
