"Tell me not in mournfnl numbers"
Advertising doesn't pay
For the mans non compOs mentis
Who would such absurd things say
"Life is real! Life is earnestw
And the man who hopes to rise
To in any calling
Must expect to advertise. !.
ain this worlds broad field of battle,
In the conflict Of real life,"
Advertising is the secret
Of achievement in the strife.
"Lives of rich men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime"
And by liberal advertising
To the highest summit climb.
''Let us then be up and doing
In the SENTINEL our ads insert:
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Business then will be alert.

were by Mr.. j. Gentil, the venerable
French journalist now connected with
the Assumption Pioneer.
After the Presidents response Mr..
u. Gentil delivered a French address
on "La Louisiana dams VIngt Ans
He spoke with much fervor. and elo-
quence and was attentively listened to
by the French speaking portion of the
audience.
With this, the exercises of the eve
ming were Concluded, and the conven-
ton adjourned to meet the next norm
ing Mt $50.
On Tuesday morning the Conven-
ton met pursuant to adjournment
with a full attendance and Il fair au-
dieDce. considering that many of our
town folks were kept away by the
funeral of the lamented Mrs. AnatOle
}. Braud. Applications for member
ship were received and applicants
ballotted for. Quite a number joined
the ranks. Then followed debates by
various members of the association on
the vital questions of education and
immigration. This proved quite inter-
esting not only to the members of the
association but to the audience,
Judging from the attention they paid
to the discussion. Mrs. Marie Louise
Garner, of the Carroll Banner, read
an interesting essay on "Woman's in
fuence in Literature" The meeting
then adjourned to 8: 80 p m. the same
evening to attend a grand concert un-
der the direction of Prof. Clol.
At the appointed time for the con-
cert, old Firemen's Hall was packed
with such an audience as it had never
eel before. There was literally no
standing room. The good people of
Thibodaux and its vicinity had turn
ed out in full regalia and II sister
parishes of Assumption and Terre-
bonnie had sen their representatives,
too.
The concert itself, was from artistic
point Il complete success. Prof. Chol
has fairly surpassed himself on this
grand occasion and has proven his
and emimence as a musician.
All those who lent their musical talent !
to the occasion acquitted themselves
with remarkable success and won the |
encomiums and unstinted applause Of
the vast audience. We would like to
enter into minuter details and portray
excellences of each particular
performance, but our limited space
and the deficiency of our musical edu-
cation will not permit. We have to
content ourself with laying the pro-
gramme before our readers, for the
of those who had to forge
he enjoyment Of the rich musical
;reat. Those of a musical tsrn of
mind may thereby be able to form
/ faint conception of the reality.

boarded the Str. Alice Leblanc for q
trips down the bayou. They went as
far as Mr.. Richard Foret's Mary Plan
tation where an elegant board had
been set for them by Mr.. Foret, DR..
Gazzo and others whose names have
not been made known to us, but whose
open hearted hospitality will long live
in the memories of all its happy reel
pients.
We deeply regretted that business
matters compelled us to forego the
pleasure of that trip which WAS pro-
nounced most delightful by all. and
our absence must account for the short
comings of this report of it. We will
publish at another time the highly
complimentary resolutions relative
thereto unanimously adopted by the
convention.
On Thursday morning the conven-
tioI met for the transaction Of bust
ness. The Committee on Resolutions
made its report which was taken up
and the resolutions discussed seriatim.
Some of the resolutions gave rise to
animated debates and disclosed at
times a marked divergence of opinion
but the. utmost good will prevailed
throughout and Cancellation character
lied the final decisions.
Resolutions highly complimentary
to our parish and town and people
were passed with such unanimity and
undisguised sincerity as to greatly add
to their value. In sccOnding these
resolutions Mr.. John c. Wickliffe, of
the New Orleans Ners. made a bril-
liant speech replete with pretty com
pllments to our people and assuring
bis audience that hereafter the recep-
lion rendered the "Press Gang' at
T~hibodaux would be the standard of
comparison and future conventions
would be spoken of as ''not so good"
"as goOd' but "ncver better than Thi-
bodaux.
We suspect the gallant Colonel
might have been u little bit too enthu- |
but his generous words are
nevertheless gratifying to us and our
people and will long be borne in mod
est remembrance.
After cracking their jokes the Jour-
nalistic fraternity adjourned at IL
a. III. to meet next year at the
City, and took their departure
the IL o'clock train, accompanied
by many of their newly made friends
acquaintance as far as Schriever.
Whatever recollections our distin-
guished guests may have carried with
hem, we take it upon ourselves to saw
n the name of our people, that they
nave LETT none but the p~leasantest
memories behind and their meeting in
our town will be set down in the an
1als OF the town and parish as the
brightest event in the history of onr

THE CONVENTION OF THE
LOUISIANA PRESS ASSO-
CITATION.

Our usually quiet and modest town
was the scene this week of an event
that will long be remembered as one
CT the brightest and ~pleasantest in the
annals of the town and the parish
1t has held within its precincts and
the parish, and entertained as its guests
the flower of the Louisiana Press.
The convention of the Louisiana
Press Association was a long expected
event. ThibOdanx was fixed on at the
Ope!ousas convention as the place for
this years meeting of the Association
and as the representative of this pa
per had. at OpelOusas seconded by
Major Grisamore in his efforts to Sc
cure our town the prize, Il readers
have naturally heard a great deal
about this meeting.
The members of the Association ar
rived last Monday evening. Mr.. F.
Samoan and DR.. John GazzO had gone
to New Orleans to accompany the con-
tingent coming through and from that
point to Schriever where Il committee
met them. On the run from Schriever
to our depot, the guests were assigned
by card to their respective lodgings.
On their arrival ut the railroad de-
pot they were greeted by the T'ibo-
daux Brass Band and a large con-
course of the citizens of Thibodaux
and vicinity.
A number of carriages were in wait
ing and in 4 very short while the visit
ing newspaper men we're driven to
their respective destination.
At $3.50 p. III. the convention was
called to order in Firemen's Hall by
it's President Gen. Jastremski OF the
Louisiana Reriew. The Thibodaux
Brass Band was on hand and lent the
charm of its sweet strains to the occa-
sion. A large and intelligent audience
honored the newspaper fraternity with
their presence. The graceful Vice.
President Mrs. Ella Bentley, of the
Donaldsonville Chief, and the bewitch-
ing Miss Addie McGrath, of the Baton
Rouge Truth, better known to the
reading world under her nom de plane,
Of Vivian, graced the stage with the
President. Needless to say that under
the artistic management Of Mrs. Lam
bert, with the aid of fair assistants,
the stage and the hall were beautifully
decorated.
Hon. j. L. Aucoin came forward,
after the formal opening of the con-
vention, and delivered m address Of
welcome, in the name Of the munici
patty of Thibodaux.
He was followed by Hon. s. +. Girls
amore, President Of the Police Jury
who welcomed the Press in the name !
Of the good people Of Lafourche and
presented some statistical points of
interest concerning u Of the
parish. Major 1. D. Moore then read
in effective style a poem of welcome
from the pen Of our "Essie." To all

half Of the Press Association, rsspon-

LATEST FROM HAYTI.
Legitime Anxious to Make Peace With
Hippolyte-ConsuI Thompson

WASHINGTON, July 23d.-The Navy De-
partment to-day received a report from
Admiral Gherardi, stationed at Ports u-
Prince, dated July 10th. There was no
mention of any fighting.
The Admiral states that Hippolyte was
reported to be advancing upon Port au-
Prince and that upon the beginning of the
attack force of marines would be landed
from the United States ships in the barbor
to protect American representatives and
the interests of American residents.
The Admiral also reported that Leeitime
had appealed to the American Minister,
Thompson, to meet Hippolyte and en-
deavor to arrange some basis upon which
the conflict between their forces might be
stopped, but whether or not Thompson
had taken any steps to carry out Legitime's
wishes was not stated.
The acting Secretary of State said if
Thompson did any act in the capacity of q
pescemsker it would be as an individual
entirely, and not as a representative of the
United States. nor acting under any author
ity of this Government, which has all along
declined 10 recos nize either of the factions
in Hayti.
