The Best She Can Do.

The Jennings Reporter says if the peo-
ple of Louisiana "would spend as much
time in learning to read as they do IN
playing cards, and pay taxes to the school
fund and other enterprises as they DO IN
gambling and drinking, this State would
be equal in enterprise and school prlvl-
leges to any in the United States" The
Reporter should remember the legend
over the music platform at wild Western
ball: "Boys, don't shoot the fiddler ne
is doing the best he cam" Louisiana life
is s.sui generis," and cannot be judged by
strict rules that prevail in more staid com
munities Times, Democrat.
Editor of the Times Democrat says that
the State of Louisiana is doing the best
she can. and of it's own kind, aud cannot
be Judged by strict rules that prevail in
sober, grave, steady, composed and rsgu-
lar-not wild, fighty or fanciful-com-
munities IL is not a wonder to US that
the Times Democrat says this State is of
it's own kind and cannot be judged by any
| laws that govern any other State in this
Union of States. Whyf Because of the
teachings of the Times Democrat and
MANY other papers that have moulded and
| shaped all the interests of the State to the

In order to do so, you never taught the
people that gambling, drinking and play.

by your silence that it was right, through
the devils own way, to create revenue
to support it's government, build up its In
stitutions and advance its enterprises
Who ever heard of clear stream from

that it is wrong to play cards, drinf

prises. Spend the time in studying some
thing that will be elevating to themselve
and the State in which they live, instea'
of sitting up all night playing cards, In
iuring Their health and spending thei
money. You would find this State OF an
other kind-grave, sober, steady, compose

had. His influence was so unbounded
with the congress and people of the North
that he would have had no difficulty IN
carrying out his mild measures, which he
had already begun to suggest, and winch
President Johnson failed to do, chiefly be-
cause he lacked the influence.
Doubtless if Lincoln had lived through
his second term, the state of affairs In the
South would have been much better than
they were at the close of Johnson's admin
istration.
Mr. Lincoln was, in a true sense self
made man. He came up from sbject pow
erty, wholly by his own efforts, and with
only nine months schooling, in very in
ferior schools, to become a great lawyer,
and the leading statesman in his party in
the great State of Illinois, and finally be-
came president of the United States in the
greatest crisis in it's history: and so con-
Quoted his government as to receive the
confidence and admiration of the friends
of his government, and to merit and re-
ceive the respect of those against whom
he contended.
His name will stand in the very front
rank OF all of our presidents, for all time
TO come.

Make Glad Hearts that are sad.

The youth of both sexes that find them
selves in state of i'll health at that in
teresting period when they reach manhood
and womanhood, should not let themselves
despond Away with gloomy melancholy
Life is before you, and with proper treat
ment and care perfect health will be your
portion. A perfect man! A perfect woman!
the noblest work of God. Keep clear OF
ouack doctors and their pernjcious medical
literature. They seek TO rob you of your
purse and to gain this end would frighten
the very life out of you. All you need at
this time of life is an occasional use of that
excellent strengthening medicine invented
10y that eminent physician DR.. John Bull
Of Louisville, KY, called DR.. John Balls
Sarsaparilla. IL is a complete regulator of
every organic function, giving health and
power to every part, and assuring perfect
self control. How glad hearts that are sad
will be when they know this.

lnebrietv vs.. Insurance.

A score of members of the American AS.
sociation for the Cure of lnebriety met at
the Academy of Medicine in this city the
other evenin and listened to paper OF Dr.
D D. T. Crothers, of Hartford, on "Alco-
nolic Inebrlety and Life Insurance: Or.
Crothers held that the use of alcohol in any
quantity was of necessity conducive IN
degree to the shortening of life, and there
fore drinking men were not as good lnsur-
ance risks as abstainers. He thought that in
surance companies which were so careful
to gaurd against all other life-shortening
agencies were very lax in the matter OF
moderate drinking risks
DR.. J. B. Mattison, of Brooklyn, read
paper on "Opium Addiction as Related to
Life Insurance. AS opium risks are invari-
ably refused by insurance companies, DR..
Mattison devoted himself to considering
how long after stopping the use of opium
a man mi ght safely be given policy OF
insurance.. He quoted authorities which
said all the way from three to ten years.
His own opinion was that if the applicant
had refrained from the use of opium for
three years, ana was otherwise in good
health, he might be excepted as risk.

OBJECTS OF SULPHUR.

The objects of sulphuring is three fold
first it disinfects: second it bleaches, and
third, it assists in defecation. By sulphur
ing, the juice, already acid becomes more
so, and must be treated with lime (neu-
tralized) before heating, to avoid inversion;
j. g., a conversion of sugar into molasses.
Instead of the fumes of sulphur, the
bi-sulphite of lime, prepared largely by
Mr.. Fl. Bonnabel, of New Orleans, may
be used with similar results.

Work of the Crxorene.

A remarkable apparatus, called a ergo
gene, has been designed for producing q
temperature of from 80 to 100 dogs. below
the zero of the Fahrenheit scale by the ex.
pansion of liquid carbonic acid. The ap.
paratus consists of two concentric vessels
with a smaller annular space between
them. A spiral coil is placed inside the in
ner vessel, and this is put in cemmunicar
tion with a closed vessel containing lieue
fed carbonic acid gas At its lower end
the coil is connected with the aRnulaI
space, and at its upper stopcock Is fixed.
When experiments are to be made the
inner vessel is filed with alcohol, the stop
cock on the carbonic acid vessel fully
opened and the cock on the spiral partially
opened, when the liquid passes slowly into
the coil and takes the form of snow. From
the coil il passes into the annular chamber,
in which are placed pieces of sponge soaked
in alcohol. which arrest all acid which has
not become gaseous. while the gas itself
passes out of the apparatus through bent
tube The inventor claims that with about
81 pints of alcohol in the inner vessel and
with the consumption Of ~ TO 81 pounds
of liquid carhonic a temperature of IS degs.
Fahrenheit can be obtained in few min
utes.-New York Telegram.

HANGED.

REDWOOD FALLS, MIMI, Oct. 16-Wil-
liam Rose was hanged before daylight this
morning under the new law, which re-
quires that all executions must take place
between midnight and dawn, and out of
sight of all newspaper men. A dreadful
scene was enacted at the execution. The
prisoner was awakened at O'Clock. He
ate a hearty meal. heard the reading of the
death warrant with great GOODNESS, and
walked to the gallows with firm step.
He made a short speech, in which be pro-
tested his innocence and accused man
named Slower of the crime The trap was
sprung at ASS a. m. There was a dull
crash and the rope parted three feet from
the neck. Without word being spoken
to any one, the limp body was picked up,
carried on TO the platform and laid down,
face upwards, upon the readjusted trap
A second moose, dangling from above was
pulled down, quietly adjusted. and the
trap again sprung, without any attempt
to raise him to his feet Then ensued the
slow process of strangulation. The trap
was sprung the second time at exactly )
O'Clock.
The crime for which Rose was hanged
was sensational affair behind which
there was romance. Rose came to Red
wood county from Pike county. Illinois.
Here he fell in love with Miss Grace Luf-
kin, pretty girl Of 20 years, daughter of
Moses Lufkin Tae girl refrigerated
Roses love, but on the advice of her father
refused TO see her lover Rose was anger
ed at this, and one evening at dusk shot
Lufkin dead through an open window,
while the latter was conversing with a
neigbbor. Miss LUfkiR, being deeply de-
spondent, went TO Chicago, where at the
home of a married sister, she committed
suicide by cutting her throat with razor
Rose was given three trials. His case
went through the state supreme court and
the United States supreme court and the
governor twice set the day for mis- execu-
ton. Rose wrote long letter to the
press yesterday in which he charged
farmer named Glover with committing
the murder.

The hand was resting on his knee, with
the finger pointing across Fourth avenue,

the rag and pulled il of. The finger looked
exactly like all the rest--large. wrinkled

nIINIS REVIEW.

New YORK, Oct 16-R. g. Dun d Go. s
weekly review of trade says:
Cuisines throughout the west and
south is strong and improving; at the
eastern centers there IS less satisfaction
and the expected results from the harvest
ing of large crops are more slowly reall2ea;
vet the volume of all trade is as large as IL
ever has been, and for October may even
surpass the unprecedented record of last
wear Confidence in the future OF business
continues undated, and is seen even 10
the branches which complain most OF dull
trade at present.
THE iron industry is active and the out
put of 18l, els tons weekly IS marveilonsiy
absorbed The demand for iron for use IN
producing all kinds of farm machinery
and implements is greater than in any
rrevious wear, and the quantity or iron
thus used is enormous. On the other
hand, the wool manufactures are short OF
orders. The cotton manufacture is active.
The demand for anthracite coal is better,
but circular prices are not realized.
Reports from other cities are almost
uniformly encouraging. Speculation has
not been very heavy, though the prices of
corn and oats are sustained in the face of
the great crops, and wheat Is shade
higher. Cotton is quarter lower Pork
products are lower, coffee unchanged and
oil - cent lower. Supplies of money are
ample here and at all western centers.
Foreign trade, though smaller than year
ago, when the movement was extraordi-
nary is larger than in previous years, and
heavy exports of breadstuffs promise
further reinforcement of gold from Eu
rope.

O'BRIEN AND PARNELL.

LONDON, Oct. 16-It has been intimated
for some DAYS past that Mr.. William
O'Brien, member of parliament for North
east Cork was preparing a statement or
manifesto in reply TO the recent Parnellite
deEances which have been scattered right
and left by the leaders of that party. Mr..
O'Brien's statement Is given to the public
today. He writes:
81 have waited since the funeral, hoping
that the late Mr. Parnell's leading sup
porters, knowing nay relations with Mr..
Parnell at Boulogne. would have the man-
illness to disasSociate themselves from the
diabolical charges circulated broadcast by
their special organ, that Mr.. Dillon and
myself had bounded their leader TO death
Now are the councils of peace madly and
finally cast to the winds. My countrymea
will agree with me that l am absolved
from all obligations of silence in regard to
the conferences at BOulogne. The unalter-
able basis of communication with Mr. Par
nell at BoulOgne was first and last his re-
tirement from the leadership. / invite
Mr.. Parnelfs representatives to publish
every document concerning the Boulogne
negotiations. They themselves pressed
me to consent to Mr.. parnell's first PROMO
sition, which was that he should retire in
favor OF myself, and at the close of the ne
gotiati0ns they repeated their conviction
that It would have solved the difficulty
had l consented. Mr.. Parnells own feel
ings as TO nay treatment of him are ex-
planned in the following letter, written to
me on the day we broke off the negotia-
tions;
Feb. II, 1891
my DEAR 0'BRIEN-I desire to express
to you how deeply feel the kindness aud
gentleness of spirit shown by you through
out the negotiations. | have felt all along
that had no right TO expect from any body
the constant anxiety as 10 my views aud the
intense desire that all proposals claiming
your sanction should be as palatSble as
possible TO me, which so distinguished
your conduct In the communications
which passed between Us. know that
you have forgiven much roughnes aud
aSperlty on my part and that you have
made allowances Tor some unreasonable
conduct from me, which TO ANYBODY gifted
with less patience aud Cancellation than
yourself who woRld have been most diff
cult. / appreciate intensely the di faculties
which surrounded you during these nego-
would have been overwhelming to anyh0dy
possessed of less courage and devotion than
yourself L tervently hope and believe
that the prospects OF Ireland are not so
dark as you fear, AMI that after a little
time, having passed through the clouds
and darkness, we shall again stand on our
former footing. when in happier days we
were comrades-in-arms in behalf OF united
Ireland. Dearest O'Brien, l am always
yours. lSigned.l
CHARLES STEWART PARNELL"
Mr.. O'Brien concludes: Thus closed
Boulogne negotiations. with the full recog-
pition that we parted as honorable OPP
ponenrs."
