DRAMATIC Our citizens will no
doubt learn with pleasant anticipations,
that several of our most talented and
popular amateurs have been engaged
for several weeks past in preparing for
dramatic performance, to come off
shortly. The play selected for the oc-
casion is '.Ten Nights in Bar Room, :"
and although it is most difficult one
for amateurs, we have no doubt the
young ladies and gentlemen who have
undertaken its production will acquit
themselves creditably of their self-im-
posed, onerons task, as they appear to
have taken special pains to make It q
success and inasmuch as lie proceeds
Of Tho entertainment are to be devoted
to tlle laudable object Of insisting in
the payment of the Steamer of Opelou-
sas Fire Co., No. |, there is every rea-
son 10 hope that the occasion will bring
together one of the largest gatherings
Of Qnr citizens ever witnessed. Date
Of performance and full particulars will
DO given In due season.

W. take pleasure Id calling attention
to the card of Mr.. John Fl. Clarke, pho
tographer, Isl Canal street, Now Or
leans. Mr.. Clarke is not unknown to
some of our older citizens, having visit
ed Opelousas some thirty years ago and
during his stay made number of ex-
cellent pictures, one of which, u group
of some OF the young society men of the
time, is still In an excellent state of
preservation and is highly priced by
the few survivors whose flashing eyes
and beaming countenances were so
faithfully portrayed in the heyday OF
their youth, when the rosy future lay
before them, bright and full of promise.
Mr.. Clarke is certainly fine artist, his
prices are very moderate, and we can
conscientiously recommend him to our
readers. He also copies, cnlarges and
colors old pictures; and if you consult
him lie will tell you how best to have
them done and show you all kinds
copied larger and smaller, colored and
plain, in cases aud frames, touched in
India ink, IN breast. pins and rings. In
fact, all kinds of pictures are made by
Clarke, ISL Canal Street, New Orleans.

WEATHaR AND FARM NOTEs. - A
heavy rain fell through several hours
on last Tuesday night ard continued to
fall slowly the greater part of Wednes-
day, and another heavy rain fell on
Wednesday night. This interrupted
the breaking of land for five or six
llays, aud checked the progress of plant
ing, Id soil already prepared, for the
balance of the week. During the pre-
yious good weather of two or three
weeks great deal of work was accom- Il
plished BY the energetic and wide
awake portion of our farmers. A great
deal OF the first planting of corn was
finished, and many commenced bed
ding lands for cotton and the second
planting of corn. Yet, strange to say.
there are many farms where the ploWs
have scarcely made beginning.
Where tihs was unavoidable il can be
excused, but where IL is the result of
idleness and procrastination It ID highly

Charles a. q. Morse

The papers yesterday morning announced
the death of Mr. Charles A. B. Morse. who
died at his residence in this city Thursday,
aged 66 years. Mr.. Morse was born in 1920
and served as clerk, after the usual terms of
schooling, until 1913, when he went into the
store Of Samuel N. Beale, on Portland Pier,
who was engaged in the lime and cement
business, having been located there for six
years previous. Mr.. Morse was clerk for
Mr.. Beale for seven years, until 1855, when
he was taken into partnership by that gen.
tleman, and the firm became Beale s. Morse
In 1863 Mr.. Beale died, and, after month or
two, Mr.. Morse took Mr.. Charles S. Chase
into partnership, the firm being known as c.
A. b. Morse & Co. Finding his health fail
ing, Mr.. Morse retired from business in
1884. For thirty-six years Mr.. Morse was
engaged in business on Portland Pier.
Mr.. Morse was always Republican and
took great interest in all the questions of
the day. Although often urged to accept
office he invariably refused. He was thor
oughly honest, straightforward conscien-
tious man. He was good hearted and always
lending helping hand to somebody. Gen
tlemen who had known him intimately for
years said they never heard harsh or I'M
kind work pass his lips. He was devoted
member of Free Street Baptist Church of
which society he was one of the deacons
His wife died three years ago. He leaves
two sons, Frederick, with John F. Rand &
Co., and Herbert, in the Waltham Watch
Company's Office in Boston, and a daughter,
the wife of Mr. Henry Jones

The Jail Workshop.

Things were at a standstill in the Jail
workshop yesterday. Neither Sheriff True
nor the county commissioners seemed dis
posed to surrender and the prisoners had
day off. 1t is understood that the sheriff
claims the trouble to have arisen from a mis-
apprehension on the part of the commission
ers as to the nature of the Office
to be filled, AS the workshop was originally
operated there was superintendent and ov-
erseer. The superintendent, who had
charge of the work, buying and selling goods,
making contracts, etc, was appointed by the
commissioners. The overseer, under whose
control the prisoners were placed while in
the shop and to whom the superintendent
looked for the enforcement of discipIine,Iwas
appointed by the sheriff. About two years
ago, this system was changed. Then the
workshop was taken by contracts and there
was no superintendent, as the term had been
used, but an overseer who had control of the
men as under the old system. This is the
office which the sheriff now claims is to be
filled. The county commissioners will prob
ably take no further steps in the matter dur
ing the two months which interviewed before
the new board comes in, so that unless the
sheriff unbends the shop will remain closed.
1t is understood that the sheriff had intended
to appoint his son, Mt. Norman True, to fill
the vacant place.

Shseneck has signed contract to play
with the Portlands next season. Hatfield
signed some time ago.
Manager Spence telegraphs that he has
secured two new players who are first class
In every way. He does not state their
names or positions.
The reason why Portland was not repre-
sented at the New England league meeting
was because President Mcdonnell was in
formed by telegraph that there probably
would be no meeting that evening on account
OF the illness of Secretary Wiggin. On the day
before the meeting the president of the
Portland Association telegraphed to know
if there would be any meeting but received
no reply.
The Bath ball player, Fred Pettee, has
signed to play next season on the Philadel-
phianss of the National League. He played
second base on the Lawrence club of the

led in fielding in that position.

Responding to an invitation from the pas

that city will hold union Thanksgiving ser
vice, Rev. DR.. E. G. Bolles, the Uniyersalist
pastor, to preach the sermon. The New
Old South is the name of venerable
church in Boston, but the Salem church has
a better claim to the cognomen. Truly,
there are, year by year. great steps towards
the kingdom of God We may add, that Dr.
Atwood of the Old South, presumably the
originator of the courtesy, is not one of the
New School. But he knows how to be un-
compromising in his convictions, and at the
same time catholic and fraternal in spirit.

Society of Art.

TO the Editor Of the Press:
So many personal expressions of interest
and encouragement have reached me on the
question of the opening-free of charge-of
the Art Rooms on Sunday to the public, I'M
der the conditions of the following petition
to the board of management, that feel that
they, the public at large, will be interested
In the knowledge OF such petition Though
made by members of the society its aim is
not confined to the benefits of the club alone.
While speaking | would like to say one
word about this (unwarrantable, it seems to
mel tlmldity expressed by large class of
people of this city both about entertaining
the idea OF going to the rooms, about enter
ing the building and about remaining there
long enough to see.
would ask the gentlemen Of the commit
tees, III behalf of these people, if no measures
can be suggested by which this timidity can
be overcome on free days. Should such
measure be found, their favorable result
would in no wise conflict with the rights of
the organization. The free days could be
granted in such a spirit that none could
mlsunderstand the hearty and generous well
cone extended until the new visitors be-
come in part supporters and perhaps mem
beers of the society.
The following is the petition referred to:
The undersigned members of the Portland
Society OF Art hereby petition for the opening of
the rooms ON Sunday after the closing of morning
renglouS services Said opening to occur at
building. This petition is made on two grounds /:
1st-The need aud desire of the people for
healthy instruction and recreation Sunday
2d-The direct benefit to the Society itself by
increasing public interest in it.
This petition is made on the part of the
members of the Club instead of the public
as the. most direct means of opening as
speedily as possible-for the art rooms open
for the fall exhibition in few days.
Can that exhibition not be opened to the
public Sundays?
What are the best means for popular
voice? CHARLES L. Fox.
