PRIVATE MARKETS.
They Are Very Popular.

They Are Very Popular.
To date, the establishment Of
private markets has met with public
approval. Never in the history of
Shreveport has the people been
served as well as they have been
since the inauguration OF these
private markets. The accommoda-
tions have been vastly improved, the
service far better, while opportunities
for the citizens to supply themselves
with such meats, ETC., as they may de-
sire during any part OF the day are a
revelation. 1t was formerly impo5si-
BILE for one to get meats only during
certain hours, but now during the
private market regime, one Can get
such as he wants at any time in the
day, and better, he is under no com.
pulsion nor necessity to get it until
he wants it, but may let it remain on
ice in the shop of the butcher until
just the hour when he must have it,
instead of, in the manner of the old
days of Rip VanWinkleism, when
only certain hours were allowed for
the sale of meats, and if those de-
string it did not supply themselves in
that time We're deprived of its bene-
fits.
The public approves of the private
market system, and with continual
ton of such conveniences as Mr.. j
B. White has inaugurated, it will
never consent to a return to the pla1
of certain hours at the market house
for meats, vegetables, etc.

TIE COMING FAIR.

n VIII he , Credit to North Louisiana
On the whole, it is a debatable
weston if it was not benetlclal 10
the success Of our coming far, that
il was not decided until late III the sea
son to hold one. Now there Is little
time for idle talk, a truth which Is
recognized by the management ana
in consequence from now on, active
work will lead talk, instead of to the
contrary. Every one Of the executive
committee appreciates the fact that
there is no time to spare, but that
every moment must be taken advan-
tage OF. This condition OF affairs
will rebound to the interest OF the
fair. as when there IS plenty Of time"
more than can be spared Is generally
wasted. But now the committee Is
hard at work, it is aware of the fact
that the1e is no time to lose, and III
consequence is bending every effort
and energy to accomplish the work
set before it. And this task it will
accomplish, and we have it from good
authority that the fair which Will be
opened October 31st of this year, will
be a credit to North Louisiana, and
will give her citizens just cause for
being proud of their portion of our
State. The executive committee viii
do its whole duty, and the people
must do theirs. These fairs are
given for the purpose OF exhibiting
the products of the country in which
they are held, as well as the evil
dences Of mechanical and artisan
skill of those who dwell therein, and
none of these should be laggards
in :heir respective exhibits.
Our Fair next Fall will be a sue
cess, sight seers will be repaid fer
their attendance, but it depends on
the farmer stockman, mechanic, and
merchant as to whether or not yisl-
tors vii, be favorably impressed with
the development, resources and al
vancement of our portion of the State.

The Metropolitan Club is a new and
powerful social organization just formed
in New York. 1t has purchased prop
erty at Fifth avenue and Sixtieth street
and is erecting thereon large and COM
Portable structure for its uses. 1t does
not differ materially from other business
mems social clubs, except in one thing
it admits ladies, and provides for them a
distinct portion of the building for their
assembly, lunch and dressing-rooms.
But the main parlors, the library and the
general privileges are open to them.
Heretofore women have held the club to
be their enemy, because it excluded them,
and permitted them not even the privi-
lege OF the Turkish women, to look upon
their husbands and brothers through the
lattice-work. The Metropolitan, how
ever, removes all barriers and makes
their social headquarters free to the
wives, mothers and sisters. just how
this new departure will operate remains
to be seen. That it will better club life
for men may be taken for granted; but
what will its effect be upon women? VIII
it tend to weaken the love for domes-
ITCHY, to supplant in any respect the
home, to remove from women that charm
with which retiracy and home sovereignty
invests them?

French reviews sustaining Darcy's state

French reviews sustaining Darcy's state
ment.
Flammermont, however, dismisses these
explanations and contends that Talley-
rand did write continuous account; that
he prefaced If with extraordinary care;
that he began the memoirs in 1915 and
concluded his work August, 1916, being
careful to date the conclusion, and to add
these words: IT terminate here these
reeollections which ought to be closed
with the end of my political career. Va
lencay, August, 1916"
In 1924 and again in 1884 he made addi-
tons. Thus, he said:
Paris, January. 1s24.-I feel obliged to add
some words to these recollections, while re-
GREETING 10 recall a sad and cruel event which
/ had wished not even to mention in the pre-
ceding pages.
Nine years later he expressed himself
in these terms:
did not imagine when, in 1916, I finished
an account of some events of my time and
my life, that should ever take part in public
affairs, and that consequently l should ever
nave motive for taking up the pen to COM
plete this narrative.
From these evidences Flammermont
repels the idea that Talleyrand wrote his
memoirs by dictation to secretaries. by
fugitive labors, and upon loose pieces of
papers, or left them as mere notes,
memoranda and copied letters and docu-
ments. He was a man who knew the
value of words, who measured the effect
ofeven syllables, and who when he wrote
ST terminate" meant it fully and to en-
brace the idea of orderly arrangement of
''recollections, and in such manner as
to insure preservation and publication in
exactly the order of preparation.
Baron de Vitrolles was intimate with
Talleyrand from 1914, the time of the re-
rand read portions of the memoirs. The
reading made deep impression upon
him, and in his own memoirs he de-
scribes it, and says that the great diplo-
matist told him that he had written two
volumes of the memoirs of the Duke de
Choiseul, a volume on the Duke of Or
leans, and his (Talleyrand's) own MEM
oirs. Vitrolles adds that Talleyrand
then went for and brought out some
large blank books, from which he read
from sixty to eighty pages. Vitrolles
manifested such pleasure at the reading
that on several other occasions Talley-
rand read to him other pages from the
volumes.
Now, what, asks Flammermont, be-
came of these books, the orderly arranged
MS? He believes that, according to
tradition current in the literary world,
the Duchess de Dino and Mr.. de Bacourt
burned them to make it impossible for
certain parts of the memoirs disagreeable
to them to ever appear in print.

ARE 80 TALLEYRAND'S MEMOIRS ,,
AUTHENTIC VOLUMES

The Revue HiStoTiQue for January
February contains an important paper
by Jules Flammermont concerning the
authenticity of the late volumes entitled
1.-THE Memoirs of Talleyrand." Shortly
after the appearance of the volumes Mr..
Aulard challenged the authors of the
work to produce the original manuscript.
This the Due de Broglie frankly admit
ted he could not do, since the only manu-
script he had was one written by NJ. de
Bacourt. Talleyrand's testamentary ex-
ecutor.
Thereupon there was opened up in the
literary world a sharp debate, which oc-
cupied much attention in all the reviews.
Finally. Jean Darcy, who aided the Due
de Broglie in editing the memoirs, came
out with paper saying that the work
was done from large number of loose
manuscript copies of documents, notes,
ETC., left in de Baceurt's hands by Talley-
rand, but no continuous manuscript or
Derby arranged. The arrangement was
made by de Bacourt, who also wrote con-
Meeting passages as necessary. Bertrand
and Bourgeois also contributed papers to
