The New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat has been looking up the I'M
migrants who we're persuaded last
year to go to Louisiana from 1er-
many, France and Belgium IL
finds that they are we'll pleased
with the change, the soil, the eli
mate and their own prospect. Lou
isiana is to be congratulated on
this. for the strongest incentive i'm
migration is the report which the
earlier immigrants send to their
families and friends in the land Of
their births. Louisiana has as
much arabic land as any people,
even after the population of this
city and Brooklyn are excluded
from the comparison. All that can
prevent her getting enough sturdy
farmers to till her idle acres would
be dissatisfaction on the part of the
first new corners. As this does not
exist, Louisiana is evidently bound
to grow rapidly and the position to
which her natural advantages enti-
tie her, New York Herald.
LOUISIANA Day at the Expo
sition was a grand success. AS
soon as the gates were opened a
large number of people entered )
and from that hour until l p. M,
the five lines of cars and the seven
or eight boats were taxed to their
utmost to transport the steady
stream of humanity whose destina-
ton was the exposition. The num-
Der of people on the grounds has
been variously estimated at from rs
to 100 thousand. The writer is Of
the opinion that there were fully
10000 persons present. Governor
McEnery, with his military and
civic escort, arrived about 1890 p
m. Shortly after that hour exer'
cises were held in Music Hall in
the presence Of on immense con.
course of people-addresses were
made delivered by Gov. McEnery.
Mr.. G. Barrow, E. A. Burke, Chas.
E. Fenner, A. j. Roman, T. j.
Semmes, of Louisiana and Oliver
Gibbs of Minnesota. BetMeen the
addresses music was discoursed by
the Mexican Band. Notwithstan'
ding the immense crowd the best Of
order prevailed. The fireworks
was the finest display Of that kline
ever given. The people OF New
Orleans and the people of Louisi
ana are to be congratulated on theil
interest displayed for the success O.

The Supreme Courts Of New
York and Massachusetts have SET
tied the matter as to who owns a
medical prescription. The sub
stance of the decision is that the
physician, in prescribing, gives the
patient written orders for drugs,
and their delivery terminates the
transaction. The druggist may, or
his own responsibility, renew the
drugs, for he is merchant, ane
has a right to sell drugs in an,
shape. He is not bound to give
copy of the prescription, nor ever
to keep it, though he usually re
tains it as a protection in case o
error on the part of doctors or pa

On Saturday, June G, Mr.. Denman
Thompson, supported by his original com
pany, will appear IN Joshua Whitcom6.
Like the gurgle of a mountain brook or
the breath of spring, when sweet prim-
roses peep out from their green beds, so is
Joshua Whitcomb, the New Hampshire
farmer, in the hands Of that superb char
acter actor, Den. Thompson. 1t is a play
of which the public never grow tired, it is
so simple and so homelike, the very odor
of clover and grasses that hang about
Swanzey, are transplanted to the stage,
and we laugh and cry in quick succession
at the intense yet natural situations with
which it abounds. Joshua Whitcomb is
not a play, it is an idyl, in which the mir
ror is held up to nature itself. Mr..
Thompson is a native ofSwanzey, Thirty
miles from Keene," and all the characters
he brings in at the entertainment are
taken from real life in his old New Eng
land home. His work. is beyond criticism;
he has long since been beyond the reach
of the carping critic, and the writer who
would attempt to pick any flaw in his
work from the time he makes his first
run to a fire until the curtain goes down
on the happy company at JOsh's farm,
would at once advertise his ignorance of
what true acting is.

The executive committee of the West
ern Kansas Cattle Growers association
were in session at Dodge City on Friday,
and in a measure Endorsed the major por-
ton Of the trail named by the Texas Cat
tie convention, with certain restrictions as
to latitude, and proposed to at once fully
define the route to be traversed by south
ern cattle by having a iurrow on the north
or outer limit of such trail. NJ. S. Gull
yer, of Dodge City, Kan, was appointed
az. agent, and empowered to direct
through herds from a point in Texas on
tie old Dodge trail through and along the
north line Of the state Of Texas to the
south line of Colorado. Bridges viii be
constructed at once for the passage of
beef cattle across the through trail at
various points along the route. A south
ern boundry line fence is also proposed,
and may at once be put up, which, if
done, will make a trail of upwards of
fifteen miles in width.

One of the treats Of the season. for
Monday, June 8, is the announcement of
the approaching engagement of the Mad
ison Square Theatre Company in the Pri-
rate Secretary. The Chicago Erening
Journal. of May "a, 1885, said ofthe play:
Among all the farcial comedies presen-
ted at the theatres this city during the
present season therei is not one better cal
culated to create genuine mirth than The
Pfirute Secretary as presented by the
Madison Square Theatre Company, which
began a two weeks engagement at the
Grand Opera House last evening. The
attraction has been here before, but time
has robbed it Of lone Of its interest.
There was not a vacant seat on the main
floor Of the grand last night, while the
upper parts Of the house were well filed.
The grotesque make up of Mr.. William
Gillette in the character of REV. Robert
Spau lding, the new Private Secretary
even when unaccompanied by any act on
his part, ~convulses the audience. His
lank form and eccentric manner are side
splitting in their simplicity, while his ex-
preston Of the phrase DO you k NOW p
is apt to threaten obese people with apop-
lexy. His sanctimonious appearance and
tone OF voice are not exaggerated, but fit
him as naturally as a we'll Una coat Each
member OF the company, without excep
ton, is good, and this general excellence
contributes much to the very satisfactory
result"

elegant scenery. The sale of seats com

TRAMPs ARRESTED.
oficcr Bean lands five Tramps In JaIi
for RursIarlzIng a Car.

A number Of tramps broke into a Union
Pacific freight car yesterday afternoon and
succeeded in stealing a lot Of oranges and
other articles of small value. Officer Bean
was soon upon their track and succeeded
in finding the entire party, numbering
seven, camped at a dug-out near the quar-
antine yards. As soon as they saw the
officer approaching the entire party broke
and run, but the officer succeeded in cap
turing five of them and bringing them to
the city in an express wagon and lodging
them in the city jail.
The other two escaped, although Officer
Bean gave them a hard chase, the officer
being on horse back. but they succeeded
in making their escape. They were a
well dressed lot Of fellows, and when the
officer arrived at the dug-out they were
busy cooking their dinner and seemed to
be having a good time. Before several of
them were captured it became necessary
for Officer Bean to fire several shots in
close proximity To their persons, and
thinking discretion the better part of valor
surrendered.
Criminal complaints will be lodged
against the party this morning, and they
will be given al opportunity to explain
their transactions N a court Of justice.
There seems to be a kind of a rendezvous
for tramps at the dug out where they were
making their headquarters. and this may
have the effect of breaking up the gang
that congregate there.
