BENEFICIARY CADETS,

! The CHIEF warmly ccmmends the action
| Of the Police Jury Of this parish in provi-
ding for the appointment of two beneficiary
cadets TO the State University at Baton
Rouge and their maintenance there at the OK
pense Of The parish. We have suggested and
recommended this action heretofore and
feel pleased that the effort of the Guild OF
the favorable consideration Of ouT parochial
legislators.
Tie example set by Ascension in this
matter ought to be initiated by every par
lsil IN the State. The small expense would
be fully repaid to each community in the
scholastic advancement of worthy young
mon who might otherwise be unable to
command the means of securing an educa-
ton, and the prosperity of oar State Uni
versity would be assured. With tie largely
increased revenue derived from this source
the educational scope and plane OF tie in
stitution could be ampEified and raised SO as
to place it Oh an equality with the best uni
rersties IL tbs land and give il a reputation
that Woala attract students to lis doors
from far aud near. .........
In connection with this subject we beg
leave TO suggest To the Police Jury that the
means or worldly position of The applicants
for appointment a. beneficiary cadets ought
to be made q factor in determining their
choice. Preference should be given to
youths whose parents or guardians are not
able to afford the young men the golden OF.

A boat anchored Mt pier or wharf

A Girl DeaerfAd.

Miss Jennie Holman, daughter Of
Mr.. Jacob Holman, was to be married
on Wednesday evening TO Mr.. Charles
Beckman, at her fathers residence,
1924 East Baltimore street, Baltimore,
Maryland. When the guests arrived
they found the residence Of the Hell
ding had been postponed. 1t was learn
I'd on Thursday that the bridegroom
elect disappeared few hours before the
hour for the ceremony, after vainly
endeavoring to have it postponed. The
Heimans are quite wealthy and the
girl is quite belle among the Germans
Of East Baltimore. Beckman came to
this country about four months ago and
secured employment in the dry goods
house of Mr.. Holman, where he showed
much business capacity and industry.
He CHANGED to meet his employers
daughter, they loved, and the parents
consented to the union. Beckman
preached the subject of dover, when
the father refused to do more than start
the groom in business with 81, 900 worth
of stock. Beckman wanted $4,000
cash and Holman would not give it.
On Tuesday Beckman called on his
bride-elect, and during the evening fell
on the floor AZ If suffering from an cpl
leptic fit He then made the PROPOSE
ton for postponement, but did not Sc
cure the girls consent. The opinion is
that he desired to marry the girl for her
money, and, failing to induce the father
to come down handsomely, he abscond-
I'd. The girl Is quite i'll.
