ELoPEMENT.-Situated near the great
pine belt of New Jersey, the pretty lit
tie town of New Egypt seldom has any
thing to occur within its borders to dis
turb the usual quiet Of its residents, but
lately all is changed, and every man,
woman and child has been thrown into
the utmost excitement by the daring
elopement of the village belle, Miss Liz
zie Fowler, with man named Beecher,
of whom little is known save that he
recently travelled with Pawnee Indian
medicine show. The story of their at
tachment dates back some weeks, when
Big Chief Deerfoot, with several other
reformed copper-colored scalpers and
several talkative white men. appeared
in the town and gave nightly shows, at
the same time selling their cure-all rem
edies. 1t was but Il few days when the
rumor that Beecher was fast becoming
the idol of Lizzie's heart was circulated.
4 vigilant father saw the way things
were drifting and ordered Beecher TO
cease his attentions to his daughter.
The last week in June Chief Deerfoot

Then it was that Beecher proved his
protestations of love by going to the
father and pleading for the hand of Miss
Lizzie. The interview terminated al
most before it was begun, by the father
ordering Beecher to leave and never
show his face again. On July 4 Beech
or again appeared in the town and set
the gossips talking again, but he was
not seen near the girl. A strange wom-
an came at the same time and took
rooms at the village hotel. She made
the acquaintance OF Miss Lizzie and be-
came quite friendly with her. On Tues
day last the town was shocked to find
that Lizzie had disappeared, and at the
same time it was learned that the
strange woman had also left for parts
unknown. When about to employ de-

Queen Of Electricity.

NADIA Reyval is the name Of the new
arrival, who is known as La RENE de
rElectricite" or Chauteuse Electrique' y
She is said to have an excellent voice
and her dances have been pronounced
unusually clever, but her chief claim to
attention lies in the daring nature and
startling effect of her electrical act.
When Reyval first comes on the stage
the audience sees a good looking, viva
cious young woman dressed in the or-
dinary costume of the stage song and
dance artist. Before it fairly gets a
good look at her the house is instantly
darkened, and the only light to be seen
is that shed in splendid etillgence from
Reyval herself
Instantly she bursts forth into one
blaze of glory. She emits sparks and
flame in every direction, and to add TO
the effect the fire is of all colors. Then
the luminous dancer sings and pirou-
cites as before. The effect is described
as remarkable, and it is believed viii
prove a taking novelty here.
The stage for this performance is covered
with wires into which the current OF cleo
tricity used for lighting the hall i turned the
moments the lights 20 out Royals dress Is
covered with small electric lamps from head
TO foot and through her padded clothing there
is a network OF thrcad-like wires connecting
with the lamps These wires in turn connect
with metal plates in the dancers heels and
current IS established as she moyes about the
stage. Through the same arrangement Of
wires maay other weird effects are SAID TO he
produced.
With the dancer comes German electrician,
Herr p Kronen, who invented the apparatus.
When they landed from the steamship Spree.
Mile. Reyval and Herr Kroncn were not al
lowed TO take away their four eases of cleo
trical instruments until the special appraiser
appointed to attend to the case had sent for
an electrician, who pronounced the articles
tools of trade.
saw Mile Reyval the night she arrived.
She told me that she was the only woman
alive who could stand the shock which she
experienced while doing her electric act. She
said that after she and Herr kronen took
possession of the stage, no one was allowed
near it nor in the flies. There was no telling
she claimed. what might happen, and the mis-
step of n person who did not belong there
might mean death.
Mile. Reyval says that while She is dancing
the house is kept so dark that the musicians
are obliged TO Use candles. She says this IS
necessary 10 enable her TO see Herr Kroncn
and observe his signals after every act Mile.
Reyval says the shoes which she wears are
badly burned.
In appearance OF the stage the Electric
Queen" is slight in figure, viyacious in man
ner and with 4 pleasing face of the brunette
type.-N Y.HeyGd.

Harmony In the Third.

Donaldsonville Chief: We are glad to
be able to say that the labors of the
harinonizing committee provided for by
the district committee are likely to
prove exceedingly light yes eminently
successful. In several instances the To-
cal differences have already been adjus-
ted without the Intervention of outside
influences, and there is every reason to
believe that before the date set for the
meeting of the district convention there
will be harmony in the Democratic
ranks throughout the entire district,
and that no contest will interfere with
the harmonious organization and con-
duet of that assembly. Under such
state of affairs it may we'll be assumed
that the nomination of this body will
be equivalent to an election. With
Democratic unity prevailing, the re-
suit of the contest in November, so far
as the Third district is concerned. can
scarcely be considered open to serious
doubt or discussion. The third party
movement will cut no figure in the
fight, and the Republicans will find
that the mooted detection of protec-
ZIONIST sugar and rice planters will
amount to nothing more formidable
this year than in previous campaigns.
On the contrary, it is a safe estimate
that in point of votes the Democracy
will gain more than it looses by the di-
version.

Democratic Fued in the Fifth.

Carroll Banner-Democrat: The out
look of Democracy in Louisiana has for
nearly a year been bad enough to vex
and harass the hearts of all the earnest
and devoted members of the Democrat
ic party; bnt the developments of the
past month have added materially to
the danger and distress. We refer to
the detection of prominent members,
the organization of the peoples party
as political venture and the serious
division in the Fifth congressional dis
trict, which district. since the recent
approval of the boilers by Chairman
Wilkinson, promises To have two can
didates in the field claiming to be Dem
Ocrats. In other words, house div
ded against itself. We may also men,
ton the fact, in this connection, that
every offort possible is being land will
certainly be) made to unite the Breaux
and Leonard factions of the Republi-
can party in the state, and some Ofour
most astute party friends honestly be-
lieve that these efforts will be com
plete success, because orders to those
in the lead ia the state have come from
the national Republican convention at
Washington. saying "All divisions
must be healed in the state of Louisi-
ana" This calmly considered makes
the Democratic outlook serious enough
to claim the thoughtful attention of the
party and cast about with the inquiry,

obedience due to higher authorities,
Franklin who was President, was u

scheme OF darkness, concocted by his
party leaders was frustrated by his in

tact with his white fellow citiz ems, he
did it more by the influence Of his sur
roundings than by his own desires.

Who is Responsible Z

In an interview with DR.. jenkins
some edifying information concerning
the handling Of quarantine vessels il
CLEANED. When asked whether It is
true that disinfectants and fresh water
have not been Sc mt to the passengers in
the cholera feet, he says:
"The neutrality-suspicious. company
has been instructed by US to send dis
infectants to the ships in sufficient
quantities. can't take the blame if
they will not do what tell them. sse
Furthermore, the Hamburg American
company was ordered to send a regu-
lar supply of water to their ships. In
this respect again they have, l believe
failed in their duty. But it fs the COM
pany's fault, not mine."
In other words, DR.. Jenkins does not
deem it his duty to make sure that the
passengers are properly cared for, and
he does mot think that he has the
authority to make the steamship COM
pany do its duty.
So, between the cOmpany's neg
ligence and his own lack of response
bility, the passengers may 60 unatten-
ded. If "the company will not do"
what he tells them he "can't take the
blame"
What is the use of his telling it any
thing unless he has authority to make
it heed his telling? And if neither of
these parties can be held responsible,

Tobacco has been abused so much
that one is rather surprised to find
medical writer coming forward at tn S
late day and advocate it as valuable
therapeutic agent.
DR.. Theodore Griffin, in a late issue
of the Pacific Medical Journal has this
to say iu favor of the weed:
"For twenty years | have been en-
gagged in the general practice of medi-
cine, and during that time have treat
ed many cases of pulmonary tubercul"-
sis. do not remember that one of my
consumptive cases was habitual smo
ker of tobacco. My reflections on this
subject lead me to suggest that tobac
co snoke, as inhaled daily and almost
hourly by the habituai smoker, retards
or prevents the development of the ba-
ella tuberculosis in the larynx and
lungs of the smoker, as it has been de
monstrated to prevent the development
of the bacilli of typhus fever and pneu-
monia.'
