The following complimentary al
fusion to Mr.. L. T. Dulaney, formerly
of Alexandria, we find in the New
Iberia Enterprise of the goth ult:
Our esteemed young friend and tai
ented lawer, Mr.. l.. Il. Dnlaney, has
resolved to locate at Rayne, La, the
prospective county seat of the proposed
new parish of Acadia, and leaves to-
night for his new home. Though not
long a practitioner, Mr.. Dulaney has
made his mark at the bar, and with no
desire of hestowing fulsome praise, we
may say that he is one of the promis-
ing jurists of the future. He has
worked himself up to his present posi-
ton by his own energy and industry,
and is deserving self-made man. We
commend him to the people of Acadia,
more especially to our confreres of the
press of Rayne, assuring them that our
loss is their gain. and that they will
have reason to be proud of their new
accession.

Our Catholic Church of St
Francis Xavier has been so thorough
ly repaired, renovated and painted,
that the oldest inhabitant would be at
a loss to recognize the interior of the
building. 1t is due to the liberality
OF the members of the Church who. in
the lace OF the stringent times, con-
generously and nobly towards
the whole WORK. The Messrs. Kelly
were the carpenters and, as is their
wont, did their work in the most eff
cIent manner, Tho briIIiancy and
taste of the painting is due to the
Messrs. Dammon. The church has
been heightened about twenty feet
and sacrsty added in the rear, the
latter being built entirely from the
funds of the Ladies Alter Society,"
The efficient and talented organist of
the Church, Mrs. Williams has re-
sumed for the winter, the usual must
cal services, and is ably supported by
Tue gifted choir under her charge. Mr..
Vic Marye, Jr., accompanied the or
gan last Sunday with his violin; as
very one knows ''the divine silverv
chord" belongs to the Catholic church.

hedrals and churches of tue middle

The Belfast Journal says that William
Barnes who recently escaped from the Insane
Asylum and afterwards committed an assault
upon young lady at Burnham, for which he
is now held is desperate fellow. His child
hood was passed on Unity poor farm. He is
son of Thompson and and Octavia Barnes
and a nephew of Lydia Larrabee who was
convicted of manslaughter at the January
term OF court. At the age of l3 ne tried ts
wreck train on the Belfast branch near
Unity depot, by placing 'jigger" on the
track and then hid under an old boat to await
the coming of the train to ''see the fun" as
he expressed it. The same night he broke
into the store of A. c. Howe at Unity and
stole quaHity of goods. He was arrested
for placing the obstruction on the track and
acknow ledging his guilt was sentenced to ten
years in the State prison. He was liberated
about wear ago Shortly after his return
from Thomaston he conceived the brilliant
idea of spending the winter without work and
being too lazy to tramp, be is alleged to have
''played crazy" and was carried to the Insane
Asylum at Augusta where he was supported
at the expanse of the town.

HOME RULE.
" nat Mr. Chamberlain Says About His
supporting the Home Rule Bill ON Its
Second Reading.

LONDON, May :.
Mr. Chamberlain has written letter in
reply TO one asking if he would support the
home rule bill on the second reading pro
vlded 1t be considered simple affirmation OF
the prlclpIe of home rule, leaving the ques-
tloh OF retention of Irish members open for
consideration IN Commons, in which he says
II Gladstone Will maintain the imperial
Parliament as the supreme representative of
authority IN the kingdom, | will gratefully
accept the concession and vote for the second
reading OF the bill, but am unable to find in
tiladstone's manifesto anv such assurance
lie asks us to grant Ireland the right TO man
age oar affairs. But if geographical consid-
eratons must yield TO national sentiment
then the prayer OF the protestant Ulster for
separate consideration deserves equal alten-
uon to that gwen the population which Par.
nell represents. The fate OF Ulster lies IN
Its own hands. If it is earnest in refusing
to entrust its liberties and fortunes To a DUB
lin Parliament, the fellow subjects in Eng
land and Scotland will never suffer the Ul-
sterltes to be coerced into submission. The
extension of home rule To Scotland and Wales
depends on the maintalnance OF the united
representation of the three countries in the
same Parliament, leading to future fedora
ton of great dependencies of the crown and
"eiuihS them lhto great ana HARMONIOUS
empire"
Trevelyan, in a speech tonight, said that
he would support the home rule bill provld-
ed the measure was modified in such a way
that firm hold would be kept on Ireland
and also provided tnat the land purchase bill
be dropped.
Earl Granville, in speaking at Manchester,
said that the government would not recede
from the position it had assumed on the Irish
question unless its Irish bills were defeated.
He warmly approved Gadstone's Irish meas
ures.
Lord Ernest Hamilton member of Parlia-
ment for North Tyrone, conservative, in
speech Londonderry, declared that the peo-
pie of Ulster would enforce their demand for
Parliament in Ulster in the event of home
rule being granted to Ireland and that if the
worst came, southern loyalists would help
the northerners.
