Harris Nickel Plate Show.

Next month VIM. IL. Harris will be
here with his world famous Nickel Plate
Circus, and there is probably no man
living to-day who has had better success,
made more friends, and won more lau-
rels in the show business than Mr.. Har-
ris. He is a thorough gentleman and a
Snowman worthy Of the name. He has
encircled the world with his enterprise
and always to phenOminal business. from
the fact that he has the best talent in
the country. and introduces nothing but
original and novel features.
Every one should go and see the famous
Nicke-Plate Shows when they arrive
here. Their reputation precedes them
and they are credited with the grandest
circus performance ever seen and a rare
and choice collection of animals.
Remember that this is as fine show
il not the best that ever visited OuI
midst. They will surely be here IL
April.

We made flying trip to st. Martins

find hopeful, cheerful spirit pervading
the people of that fine old town. which
has been so long at standsull, but
which, under the impulse of the immi-
grafton movement that has penetrated
her fertile borders and aroused the dor
mant energies of her people, promises
on to regain ard far surpaSS all the
prestige and splendor of ante-bellum
days, when she was deservedly called lie
Petit Paris of Louisiana. The dear Old
town, around which clings many fond
recOllectiOns, has no more sincere we'll
wishers than the editors of the COURIER.
During our brief stay we met several
Old-time friends, and made number OF
new acquaintance, to all Of whom We
are indebted for appreciated courtesleS.

A Terrible Misfortune.

It is calamity of the direct kind to
feel that ones physical Ell ergies are fail
ing in the prime Of life-tO feel more
neryeless, more dispirited. weaker every
day. Yet this is the unhappy lot of hun
dreds who surround us. A source of re-
newed strength which science approves.
in behalf Of which multitudes of the de-
bilitated have and are every day testify
ing, and which, in countless instances,
has built up constitutions sapped by
weakness and inirmity and long un-
benefited by other means, surely COM
mends itself to all who need tonic.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is such a
medicine pure. botanic, soothing to the
nerves. promOtive Of digestion and a fer
tilizer Of the blood. Dyspepsia and ner-
vOusneSs-the first a cause, the second a
consequence of lack Of stamina-depart

All forms of malarial disease, rheuma-

stipation and biIiousness are annihilated

The Item has received letter from st.
Martinsyille complaining sorely of the
prevalence Of lawleSSness and regulator
rule in that neighh0rhOod. the writer
fails to disclose his identity so We cannot
place full faith in the statements. How
ever we submit to the Messenger and the
Reveille the allpgat on that the chief of
police is himself the principal regulator
and not under the law. but outside Of
it. What do our contemporaries say to
this? Also that last Saturday February
23ri.) he with "a band of bad charac-
tiers, shot AT a peaceful and honest color
ed man who was building bridge on j.
B. Levert's place and ran him out OF the
parish. Are these Slanders?-Clty Item.
The assault referred to in the above
was made by only two men, not by bad
band of regulators. This looked to us as
personal affair. Information in
such matters cannot be had very easily
az the wronged parties do not even call
upon the legal authorities to be prOtec-
ted and to suppress the evil. We claim
that the authorities are fully able to
maintain peace and order if they Were
put on the trace of the disturbers of the
peace, and protection claimed from them
We always make it duty to publish
everything that happen in our cOmmuni-
ty, when we can get reliable information
and in such eases the best information
would be the deposition under oath OF
the outraged parties to the authorize:
who would investigate matters TO The
satisfaction of the people.

The MOribund Canal.

its rebuilding.
That is what secures it.
The canal considered us State in.
vestment, public work, or economic
possibility is in no way necessity,
scarcely permissible convenience and
certainly a saddle across which sit
astride countless sinecures. In only
one way is the State of Maryland to be
justified in farther carrying the canal
and that is to make 1t free in the mat
ter of tolls. If the State is to nourish
it, let it do so really and wholly. Only
in such event can this or any other
canal bear freight in competition with
railroads.
If the State will not do this, then let
it ask Mr.. Hood to renew his PROPOSE.

years ago and probably would have
been had not the vision of departing
sinecures urged the hand of the pollti.
clan against it.
AS between the advantages the canal
brings the public and those to be deriv-
ed from railroad replacing it, we are
for the railroad and against the canal.
If its friends can show how or why it
may exist under more fayorable condi-
items during the next ten years, than it
has during the same number Of years
just past, we might be induced to mod.

continue to furnish good, fat offices for
the faithful party worker.

Washington Letter
FROM OUR REGULAR Con RE sroNDE Mt
WASHINGTON, July LIST, 1899.

FROM OUR KEG ULAR COR RE SP0NDENT
WASHINGTON. July LIST, 1899.
The books OF the government are
closad annually on June 30, and this
year the date was looked forward 70
with unusual interest. The office seek
ers about the hotel corridors spoke con.
tidently Of the changes that would take
place "before July l, anyhow" De-
spite prediction to the contrary, the
weighty day has come and gone, and
the number of Departmental changes
have been surprisingly few. The dis
charges were far less numerous than
even at the close Of the first fiscal year
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration. To
say that the office seeker is hot is to put
too mildly, he is wild, and he is not
cheered by reading the long lists Of new
diplomats appointed. "Pie," to the
average office seeker, is to be found in
appointment to Offices in this country
and he is not to be confuted by the APP
pointment Of some wealthy gentleman
with his hair parted In the middle to be
envoy extraordinary and minister ex-
cruciatingly to the court of Yarboo.-
The regular office seeker shifts at the
other fellows appearance and snorts at
his alleged Republicanism. President
Harrison who has had a pair of eye
teeth cut, so far as the hungry are con-
cerned, anticipated the onslaught Of
June 30, by quietly stealing away to
Baltimore during the morning hours
with the ostenslble purpose of bringing
home Mrs. Harrison.

Odd Problem.

We read frequently of the instant
death occasioned by contact with an
electric light wire in fact it Is less fire,
quent that injury occurs than death and
yet IN New York State, where recent
ly enacted law makes the electric cur
rent the cause of death in place of the
hangman's rope, there is broad claim
being made that it is by no means per.
fectly clear that death by the strongest
obtainable current, applied with the
greatest care so as to affect the great
nerve centres, Is not torture instead
of an instant and painless death.
The former fact would seem to rem.
der argument worthless, but the ques-
ton has not only been raised, but is far
from being satisfactorily settled.

A Point in Street Etiquette.

1.-The question is often put to me, y
said lady whose opinion in matters of
etiquette is wholly competent. "wheth-
er it is permissible to take young
lady's arm in acting as her escort on a
promenade after nightfall. Unhesita.
tingly and peremptorily, no. Not after
nightfall, nor by daylight, nor at any
other time. An invalid may lean upon
a young woman's arm grandfather,
if he is infirm, may avail himself Of a
similar support, and a Broadway po-
liceman seems to have acquired the
right to propel his charges in petticoats
across that thoroughfare by a grasp
upon the arm, but these are the only
male persons 80 privileged. For an
acquaintance, friend, or one who as
pires to nearer place, to take the arm
of a young woman when walking with
her on the public highway is inexcusa-
BILE. To see young woman pushed
along, little in front of her escort, by
his clutch upon her arm is neither
suitable nor picturesque. 1t reverses all
preconceived ideas of gallantry. The
fair should lean upon the brave. Virile
strength ought eyer to support feminine
frailness. Offer her your arm, young
man, every time. and never under any
circumstances commit the familiarity
and ottense of taking hers. ~ Y.
