Baton Rouge Advocate A special,
but unwritten, clause Of the Lafayette
compact, it seems, excepted the parish
OF East Feliciana from its provisions.
ana the democrats of that parish were
therefore left free to kick to their
hearts content, if they did not want to
support their fellow citizen, Hon. T. s.
Adams, for governor. This is a nov
city in political bargain and intrigue
that has no parallel in such transac
why other parishes have not the same
sovereign right of exemption from a
solemn pledge entered into under This
compact as the parish of East Feliciapa.
1t Adams is so distasteful to the demo
Gratis of his own parish that they must
be excused from giving him their sun
port, by what rule of fairness can the
democrats of ali other sections of The
state be brought under this banner
without their specific consent?

The immortal Soul.

At Il dinner party given to Victor
Hugo IN Paris some years ago he de-
li7cred an impr1tnptu address, in which
he gave expression to his faith in the
infinite aud in the s0ui's immortality.
His friend HOusSaye, who was present,
says: Hugo at that time was I. man
of steel. with no sign Of old age about
him, but with all the agility, the sup
peness, the ease and grace OF his best
years" He was contradicting the athe-
lists, and his friend says " bis face was
bright with the heavenly halo and bis
eyes sh0nc like burning Goals. There
are no occult forces,' he said, there are
only luminous forces. Occult force is
chaos. the luminous force is Cod. Man

their apartments in Williamsburg on Tues
day, were held to-day in q livery stable,
near their late home. About forty men
and women were permitted to enter the
stable and listen to the services, which
were conducted by Rabbis Luebeke and
Feldman. Both rabbis delivered addresses,
in which they called upon God to bring
speedy vengeance upon the murderer. AT
the conclusion of the services a funeral
procession was formed. 1t had proceeded
hardly a block when one OF the horses, at
tached to a coach conveying several mourn

he would prefer Chicago to all

New York.
President Brush held suspicious con-

did Captain Comisky with Pfeffer, and it is
believed he is after the great second base
man. but Fred said last night he would not
play in Cincinnati.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1s.-The United
States secret-servIce officials made an i'm
portant capture this morning in this city
when they took in a gang of counterfeit
ers. The men arrested are oil Italians,
their names being Rafael di Nicola, the
leader; Frederick Derogata and Giacomo di
Nicola. Tie fourth one Of the gang was
woman named Emma Tale. The coin dealt
in is an imitation of the silver dollar of
1888. and Is the same as has been passed SO
frequently during the past year. The pa
per is a counterfeit of the s. treasury notes
with the portrait of Jackson, and is fairly
good one and extremely dangerous.
