KING ALCOHOL ADDS AEoFHER VICTIM IL

KING ALCOHOL ADDS ANOTHER VICTIM TO
HIs FAEou1suEp I1sT.
The sudden and rather strange dehth
in this town, last Tuesday morning, of
Mr.. John Bass, createa little excite
ment and considerable comment Ii
appears that the deceased was hard
drinker, and for several days previous
to his death had been indulging heavi-
llg. A few minutes prior TO the dis
covery Of his corpse in the watey-
closet at the rear of Benoit's saloon,
he had taken a drink at The bar. At
this time nothing unusual in his APP
pearanee was noticeable, and this fact
gave rise to the suspicion that perhaps
there had been foul play somewhere.
A coroners jury was at once enpan-
neled and a searching and thorough
Investigation made regarding the
causes which produced death. Not
satisfied with one, two separate in
quests we're held, the verdict Of both
being identieally the same, 9 That they
are Of the opinion deceased came
to his death from the excessive use of
alcoholic liquor, and that no guilt
attaches to any one.s The verdict is
doubtless strictly in accordance with
The facts in the case, and does away
with all supicion Of foul means in the
matter. The deceased was a man of
/ fair education. and when not under
| the influence Of liquor, conducted him
i self in a geptlemaniy manner He
came here from the north in 1871,
4 aud began teaching oolored school,
and from that time until his death he
had resided in and contiguous to Lake
! Charles, teaching at various times and
/ places both white and oolored schools.
1 He died as he came, empty handed, as
regards worldly goods. We should
| Judge him to have been a man Of be-
tween tIiirtg-fve aud forty years Of
ape. How different might have been
the life and ending Of poor John Bass
but for bis ungoyeruable appetite for
whisky If bis miserable death could
only serve as q warning to other poor,
weak creatures who are cogniaant Of
| bic fate, it might be said that his death
was not without bepifeent effects.

This excellent theatrical company
closed a very successful epgsgeEnen,
of three nights, at Fricke's opera house.
on Wednesday evening last. The
troupe is large one and our people
naturally expected superior display
81 dramatic talent and in this they
were not disappointed. Mr.. Frank
Cotton is an actor of no ordinary at
tainments, aud would draw well any
where, while manager J. B. Hogan ia
scarcely inferior to him. The parts
taken By these two gentlemen are d.
rectly opposite, and we will not nnder-
take to draw the line between them
Ia their different characters both are
worthy and talented actors. Miss
Mabel Norton, is certainly deserving
of the reputation she has won, that of
star, for such she is. A pretty little
lady, with an intelligent, pleasing face
and figure, she at once secures the ad-
mirstiob and respect of an audience.
The remainder Of the company are
each and everyone Of them goed in
their different characters The silver
eornet band, the members of which APP
pear to be fully up in their profession,
adds materially to the general excel
lenee of the company. Taken all in
all, the Mabel Norton combination is
an exceedingly deserving troupe, and
worthy of the consideration shown
them by the people of Lake Charles.

Editor Lake Charles Echo:
In your editorial Of the 25th uli.,
concerning the capture of the desper
ado known among US as R. b. Burke,
Won say; His good looks and quiet
manners gained him many friends =.
he married during his residence in this
parish, or words similar Your Ian
guage is correct. but il involves =
hearts history. Good looks quiet
mannersl ave suficieney of each to
engraft himself in the affections of a
modest, beautiful girl, a member of
one of our oldest and most respected
families. A short year Of happy de-
fusion, and then the awakeningi De-
graded from her proud position as
wife, sitting broken-hearfed at her des-
olate hearth, brooding over the fearful
calamity which has befalIen her,
dreadiug to meet the faces of her
friends and fearing in her morbid grief
that she will be pointed at as his assO-
este instead Of bis greatest victim.
Such Is the fate Of artless maid,
Sweet now'ret Of the rural shade;
Through Loves simplicity betrayed,
And guileless trust,
Till she like thee all soiled is laid
Low In the dust.
Mourn not, poor child. Rejoice
rather that the ayenging stroke of
Nemesis fell ere the intention of your
betrayer to drag you far away from
home and friends was consummated.
Know that every man in whose breast
CLEANS a spark Of llumanity's holy
FIRE, heaves for You the sigh of pity;
and that for you the heart of every
true-souled woman quiyers with pain.
Heavy though your misfortune uu
doubleday is, you have not the added
bitterness of being friendless among
strangers. The friends of your child
hood are the warmer friends Of to-day;
She love Of your brothers and sisters
ia yours in greater degree than be-
fore, whsle the almost worship of your
aged parents should beto you a wealth
of consolation. Look upward, with
abiding faith, fer the dark cloud now
in, the zenith must eventually pass
away, leaving before yea many bright
wears Of usefulness ana happiness.
A FRIEND.
