OF three days, beginning on the 2lst

ment for establishing originally George

Mary land committee was the illustrious
Charles Carroll OF Carrolton, and the
Virginia chairman Col. John Fiizser-
aid, who had been aide-de-cenp to
Washington during the revolution, and
who was subsequently, mayor OF Alex
sndria. The college was founded in
1889, and the Rev. Robert Piunkett

TO be the president Of the college, and
the institution was in his charge when
Georgetown passed from Maryland into
the District OF Columbia, aud George

MONROE.


The feeling Of confidence and vigor
infused into This community by the
of active work on the
Houston, Central Arkansas and
Northern Railroad is gratifying in the
extreme and Monroe is experiencing,
for the first time in its history of over
Que hundred years, something OF q
boom. We do not mean 10 intimate
by this that Monroe has not always
been tolerable live, and in measure,
q progressive town. She has always
been the distributing point and CEN
ira! attraction for large section OF
country and byviriue Of her natural adj
vaniages of location, ETC., and energy vi
her merchants, has been able to main
tain her prestige, but we have always
Claimed that her natural advantages
have not been properly appreciated
and assisted in developing her great
ness. We now feel confident that we
will never have 10 bring that charge
against our people again aud that
Monroe will soon assume the position
in the s!sterhood OF cities that is uatu-
rally her just due.

A Business ('Onunllrunl,

"Mr. John =. Parker received a telegram
from Messrs. Schaih, Eernheimer e. Co.,
vest erday morning, stating that they We're
loading both The DucOtah and another
boat, and that the two would leave together
for the Ouachita with iull loads."--Monroe
Telegraph.
Scharf. Bernheimer 4 Co. are whole
sale grocery merchants Of st. Louis.
For several years past, they have been
loading boats at st. Louis with flour,
meal, meat aud provisions of all SORTS,
hay, oats, corn and ali kinds of feed,
In fact about everything the country
store needs, and ssndiDg those boats up
the Red ant Ouachita rivers aud sup~
plying the country merchants Of North
Louisiana. Why is this? Why has
New Orleans ceased to be the dlstribu-
ting point for the State of Louisiana
Why has st. Louis been able to Sc.
cure this trade which legitiMate'y be-
Monroe aud the other points on those
rivers are closer to st. Louis. The
boats of Schalff, Bernheimer & Co.
have 10 descend The Mississippi river
to the mouth of II Il river in ordor to
reach these points, and therefore New
Orleans is closer to them than st.
Louis by Just the difference in distance
from the mouth Ct Red river to this
place and The distances frcm the mouth
Of that river TO S.. Louis.
Something is radically wrong with a
system that will permit another city,
with the odds Of over II thousand miles
against her, to come in and almost
m0nopoifZa a trade that ten years ago
was on: Owl. E:!h.r our freight rates
are too high or our merchants want
too large Il profit. Ard this is not all.
The Red and Ouachi:a river valleys
ship no cotton to ST. Louis. This trade
that these st. Louis merchants have
acquired is II cash trn;tc. No buying
all through the year on credit and
paying for it with cution shipped in
the fail. 1t il cash down on the nail.
We have not only permitted st.
Louis to get n large part OF a business
that legitimstely belongs to US, but we
have allowed her to take the cream
and leave the skim.nilk to New Or
leans.
The country merchant can, AMI fire.

The Hour or Death.

Many people have curious ideas
regarding che hour of death. Some
hold that the largest proportion OF
deaths from disease occur when the
tide Gibbs, while others think that
the same is true in the carly hours
of the morning. There are yet
other more or less widespread i'm
pressions on this subject, but these
mentioned appear to be the most
popular ones. 1t has recently been
stated that from time to time care
full observations have been made in
hospitals which have resulted in
showing that the act of death takes
place with fairly equal frequency
during the whole twenty-four hours
of the day. Very recently an in
vestigation has been made in Paris,
which showed that there was Ger

eeption the proportion of death is
