ebration.
This event will take place on Friday
the 2lst day of October. All over th'
United States-in every city, town, vii
!. lage, hamlet and rural community
is requested that the people, old aEt
young, shall put aside all ordinary bust
ness concerns and join in one homoge'
neous effort to signalize the day. Prop,
erly viewed, it will be the one day
: which, above all others made notable
by human enterprise, we Of America
should celebrate. When we reflect up
on it, we are somewhat astOnished that
nothing has ever been done by the
United States or by any one of them to
make the 21st of October a holiday
Yet on that day 400 years ago this great
continent was discovered, and then and
there was opened up an exit and re-
trea, for tho millions of our race who
but for it might now be groaning under
the heel OF oppression. Here we have
a cline which bids defiance to despots,
and which rears its crest uncOnquered
and sublime. Here we have peculiar
freedom, endangered only by our own
| indifference to its sweetness and value,
and hedged iD in its sublime isolation
| bv the broad expaDse of almost shore
less oceans.
Let us, in remembrance OF this, and
of the manifold other blessings and ad-
yantages we enjoy to an extent farther
reaching than in any other country,
come together as the members OF one
great family and offer our prisons to
God and the genius of human liberty.
The youths of every community need
instruction, and this they can gain in de-
monstrations like the one proposed
more readily and more copiously than
in any other way. There is no child ten
years old that should be kept or be per-
mitted to remain in ignorance OF the
great achievement of Columbus and
the consequences flowing from it.
The Alexandria Times very justly
complains of the mail arrangements ex-
listing in that part Of the country. Out
of four railroads running to Alexandria,
only one (the T. & P.) carries the mail,
the Morgan road leaving its mail mat
ter at Cheneyville where it remains |
" from ten to twenty-th1ee hours, until |
the T. & P. brings it in,' says the |
Times. BY this arrangement it takes |
mail matter nearly two days to come !
from Alexandria to Opelousas, a dis
tancc of G3 miles. This outrageous con-
dition of things has existed for many
months and the DEMOCRAT has COM
planned about it before. 1t is high time
some improvement was made in this
matter.
The Lake Charles Commercial an
lounces the death, in that city, on Sept.
sd, of Mrs. Bazilide Seaton, aged Is
7ears, months and days, and adds:
The deceased, who was an old land
park, was native of New Orleans. She
ived for many years in Opelousas, and
las been a resident Of Calcasieu parish
or thirty eight years, and was highly
IGNORED and esteemed by all who knew
er.
Mrs. Seaton was the mother of the
ate John A. Spence, at one time Clerk
f Court for Calcasieu and Of 1t. "Joko"
eaton, who enlisted in the 10th La. lD-
antry and who sleeps his last long sleep :
eneath the sod of Virginia. The fam .
y resided for many years in the little
Ottage near the Southern extremity OF =

RECKLEssLY RUN DOWN.

Woman and Boy Seriously In
jured by Harebrained Driver.
An accident, nearly attended by fatal
results. occurred at the corner of East
Seventh street and Maria avenue yes
terday afternoon. AT 30 Mrs. Joseph
Miss, of $40 Maria avenue, with her five
year-old boy, was boarding an East Sew
enth street cable train at that point
when they were run over by team of
horses that were being driven at reck-
less speed by Herman Hoffman, a
butcher, whose shop is at the corner of
Sims and Forrest streets. The woman
and little boy were knocked down and
trampled under the horses hoofs, and
the meat wagon to which the horses
were hitched. was upset. 1t was some
moments before the two could be res
cued from their perilous position. They
were picked up bleeding and uncon-
scious and carried to drug store near
by, and DR.. Amoss sent for to dress
their injuries. Mrs. Miss had deep
cut nearly two inches in length just I'M
der the right eye, her shoulder was
dislocated and she also suffered
internal injuries, that may prove
serious. The little boy escaped with a
oCfSIC oCdlD NOuuu anu OCfCAoi Va uAoND
about the neck and shoulders. AS near
as could be learned the accident was
entirely due 10 the reckless driving of
Hoffman. who, according to several eye
witnesses, made no attempt to check
his horses, although the woman and
boy were seen by him when he was
several feet away. Mr. Miss informed
GLOBE reporter that lie intended to
prosecute Hoffman and had the names
of several voluntary witnesses who will
appear against him.

Mining Companies for the DeyeI-
opment of Northern Minnesota.
The interpretations with the secretary
of state yesterday were:
The Little Mesabi Iron Company of
Minneapolis, with a S3,000000 capital
stock, was given legal existence yes
terday afternoon. The incorporators
are: Ralph W. Cayenaugh and Ed S.
Bean, of st. Paul, and George H. Dodge,
E. F. Dodge and A. G. Paul, of Mime
apolis. The company has a lease on
two sections of mineral land in towns
IA and Is, range 10. the total number of
acres being $50. 1t has already made
a test of its property and SO confident
are the incorporators over the lands
that they have secured, that they have
voted not to place any Of the stock on
the market, although the $4,000, 900
capital stock is divided into $4,000
shares. Ralph CaVenaugh is president
of the organization; A. c. Paul. vice
president; E. f. Dodge, secretary and
treasurer, and George ID. Dodge,
manager. The company will push work
on its mines at once, two railroads run
ming near the property giving them all
desired facilities in that line.
The New England Iron company, of
Duluth, with $3,000.000 capital stock,
also filed articles of Incorporation. The
