At 1890 that portion of the great edifice

the notables of Boston society. The space be-
hind the altar rail was completely filed with
beautiful tropical plants and shrubbery, and
all around the walls of the hedge were flowers
and vines. Previous to the arrival Of the
bridal party the organist of the cathedral
performed several selections specially pre-
pared for the occasion. At IL 80 o'clock the
bridal party entered the church. The cere-
mony, the nuptial mass being omitted, was per-
formed by Archbishop John J. Williams, as
sisted by Rev. Father Leobol and Rev. Talbot,
ID. D., rectors of the cathedral and Rev. Father
Managan.
The brides dress was Of white satin en-
traine, with Valenciennes lace training, and she
carried boquet of lilies of the valley. Miss
Mary Anderson wore dress of elegent white
satin, cut walking length, high neck and
full sleeves. Mrs. Lawrence Barrett and Miss
Griffin each wore elegant costume OF navy
blue silk. Miss Nellie Barrett wore white crepe
de chine, and carried bouquet of white roses.
Gov. Ames' Annual Message.
HE ADVISES AN EARLY SUBMISSION TO THE PEo-
PIE OF PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.
Boston, Mass, Jan. 3e-Gov. Ames sent in
his annual message to the legislature to-day
He advises the early submission to the people
of prohibition amendment and advocates the
increase of the penalties for the violation of the
liquor laws. He thinks it would be wise to
substitute imprisonment for fines in such cases.
The state has expended over 81 000, 900 during
the past year for the education Of 800, 900 per-
sons. In regard to the state prisons he says:
THE industries at the state prison, where
business is transacted on the public account
system, are in a very satisfactory condition.
Under this system the discipline of the prison
is much better maintained than it was under
that of contracts, and the financial results will
prove much more satisfactory"
In regard to arbitration, the governor says:
''The work of the state board of arbitration
has been continued with increasing benefit to
employers and employees who have come within
the scope of its action. Happily no extensive
disturbance has occurred in the state, but the
efficiency of the board has frequently been de-
monstrated, especially in settlements without
formal hearing and adjudication"

RAID ON Policy SHoP.-Lieut Vernon and
Officer Wagner raided the policy room of VIM
Henry Hayson in the Barracks" on G. street
southwest, and found Hayson and number OF
other colored men in the room. Most of them
were old men, who earn a few cents at a time
and try to raise stake by strik-
ing ''gig" or Saddle" getting dol
lars for cents. When the officers entered the
room q colored woman jumped from the Sec
ond-story window and landed on her head She
jumped up and ran away uninjured. The off
GERS also arrested colored man named Tom
Scott on a similar charge. In each case the
officers captured quantity of small change
such as is played by poor persons, also the
days drawings. The arrested men were subse-
quently released on $50 collaeeral each.
The CASE WAS DIsMIssED.-William Simms, a
colored grocer in Hillsdale, was in the Police
Court this morning, charged by officer Ander-
son with keeping an unlicensed bar. Messrs.
Cahill and Moss appeared for the defendant
and Mr.. Shillington for the prosecution. Half
a dozen colored residents Of that section were
called to prove the charge. Most Of them had
been arrested several times. Some of them
had never drank in the defendants store and
others could not tell when they purchased
liquor. One witness, in telling of the times he
had been arrested, said that he was with a lady
and some clothes. Another negro, when asked
whether he liked chickens or not. answered in
the affirmative and said that when he wanted
them he went and got them. The defense
called several colored citizens, who contra
dicted the testimony given by the witnesses for
the defense, and the case was dismissed.

Last week there was steer
brought to Fort Worth from Kan
sas, the sight of which would give
an average Texas steer the jim
jams. The animal is FIVE years
old, six feet six inches high, seven
teen feet from the tip of his nose
to the root of his tail, and tips the
scales at the enormous weight of
4476 pounds. 1t is three-quarter
Durham. Colorado Clipper.
That reads like four quarter
double-action fabrication; but, of
course, if we expect other editors
to believe our statements we must
accept theirs. -Exper. Farmer.
The Experimental editor of the
Farmer is lacking in experience, or
he would not be SO incredulous ON
this subject Thousands who at
tended the New Orleans exposition
can testify to having seen & giant
steer on exhibition that was fully
as large, if not larger than the one
mentioned above.

The regular army cotton worms

The regular army cotton worms
were at work hereabouts as early
as August 10th, in 1878, and that
year we made full half crop. In
1887, nine years later, the 'forerun-
ners" were thick about August IL,
but they "webbed up and did not
get out in time to hurt the crop a
great deal. This year the 'fore-
runners" were out in force about
August 18th, and seem to be more
numerous, and are "ragging" the
cotton more than usual, but as they
are now webbing up" let us hope
they will not come out of a chrys-
ais state in time to do a great deal
of damage. However, it is best to
be prepared to dust them and not
trust to luck to escape harm.

The Louisiana State Fair and
Shreveport Exposition will present
its fourth annual exhibition at the
city of Shreveport, beginning Tues
day, the Sth day of October, and
ending Monday, the 14th. Past ex-
perience enables the management
to enlarge the scope of usefulness
and attractiveness of the various
exhibits of our agricultural and
other products, and increase the
premium lists to the highest point
of liberality. Better crops, fatter
and better cattle, larger and strong
er work animals, and encourage
ment in all industrial pursuits, is
the sure outcome of these annual
exhibits. Everybody should raise
something for competition, or send
something useful or attractive to
exhibit, and go to Shreveport du-
ring Fair week. An immense null
titude of attractions are engaged
by the management that will prove
instructive as well as amusing.
Competitive prize and exhibition
drills of the crack military compa-
nies of the Southwest will be
grand feature of the Exposition.
A special committee are now per-
fecting arrangements to entertain
them. Trotting, running and pa
cling races have an unusual number
of entries of the fastest horses.

The Kansas City, Louisiana and
Gulf Railroad Company.


On Wednesday pleasant ripple
of interest was excited in Colfax
by the arrival of Mr.. FL. A. Boyce,
DIR. F. n. Brian and other gentle
men from Boyce, accompanied by
Messrs. J. III. Dawson and j. N.
Shoemaker, of the Kansas City, La.
& Gulf Railroad company, and Mr..
B. sCapers, secretary of the Arcadia
railroad company. An informal
meeting and consultation was held
with these gentlemen by several of
our citizens in the court house, in
which Mr.. Dawson, chief engineer
and manager of the Kansas COM
pany outlined the proposed routes
of his road from Kansas City to
the Gulf by way of Abbeville, La,
especially emphasizing the fact
that his company was not to be
COMPOUNDED with the Lake Charles
or Watkins company of almost the
same name. He expressed his sur
prise to find two or three equally
as good if not better crossings on
Red river above Alexandria than
that advocated for that town, and
seemed to be impressed with the
route through this immediate re-
gion, by way of Arcadia. He was
candid to say that his company
desired and expected all the local
assistance they could get along the
route, and the location of the road
will in great measure I've governed
by the favors and assistance ex-
tended.
The officers of the Kansas City,
La. & Gulf Railroad company are
as follows: j. p. Pomeroy, presi-
dent, Boston, Mass; II. M. Jackson,
vice president, Atchison, Kan. Geo.
w. Simonds, secretary, Atchison,
Kan; j. HI. Dawson, chief engin-
eer and manager, Jennings, La;
]. N. Shoemaker, agent, Jennings,
La; John X. Fisher, treasurer,
Atchison, Kan. J. L. Bliss, auditor;
NJ. I. Frame, general attorney,
Atchison, Kan.
Mr.. b. Capers, of Arcadia, also
gave an interesting account of the
organization and incorporation of
the Arcadia and Alexandria rail-
road company, which was formed
to construct a road north and south
and cross the Vicksburg, Shreye-
port & Pacific road at the town of
Arcadia. He seems to place great
faith in the Kansas company, and
has hopes of getting them to Sc
lect and adopt the Arcadia line.
Lack of space forbids mention
of many interesting particulars re-
lated by these gentlemen, but we
have their promise to keep us in
formed on the subject, and hope in
a short while to give our readers a
fuller and more definite account of
this important road.
