There Is no Ofhclal announcements OF tue
fact, but from the long delay of those
"rations" it is safe to say that the over
flow sufferers in Grant parish will not get
anything ont of the famous $4,000 ap-
prOpriation.--Colfax Chronicle.
We reproduce the above to show our
people that such large appropriations,
made ostensibly for sufferers generally
turn ont to be "jobs," and are used to
pay political debts with. VIM and Grant
parishes paid their pro rata OF the taxes
from which that $4,000 came, and
though they had but few sufferers, those
few were by every sense OF justice and
fairness entitled to their pro rata of the
appropriation, and we see nothing but
the personal favoritism Of Gov. Foster
that could have prevented their getting 1t.
VIM Parish Comrade.
No one knows better than the
| editor of the Comrade that the ap-
preparation made was less than
one dollar apiece for all the suffer
ers by overflow in the State, and no
one knows better than he that it
was applied faithfully and honest
ly in the regions where most SUI
fering existed. True, we have had
two or three thousand people In
the Red River valley who needed
a helping hand, but they were sub
merged in the food only week OF
two, while the people living in the
Black and Little river, Tensas and
Atchafalaya country, were in thu
water for as many months, ant
their needs being greater and mos
urgent, the governor in his wisdom
saw proper to apply it to their re
lief. That he was right in SO DO
ing no fair minded man will deny.

10o'clock the procession formed on Crown
street, right resting on Temple, and at
1915 started, headed by Italian Marine

on the right, Paul Russo president, fifty
men.
President E. L. Del Gregg with the Gar

The procession moved up Crown street
to York, to Cedar, to Congress avenue, to
Church, to Chapel, to Wallace, to State,
thence to Seheutzen park.
The societies made very imposing and
pretty appearance as they marched through
the streets and were frequently applauded
along the line of march. Upon their arri-
val at the park the party at once proceeded
to enjoy themselves with athletic sports
and dancing and the festivities continued
nninterruptedly until late in the evening.
Among the athletic sports were pie eat.
ing and green corn eating contests, both
of which events were won by Michael
D'Andrea of SO Fair street, who took the
prize against four competitors.
The proceeds derived from the picnic
will amount to quite a handsome sum and

ment of the monument which the societies
will erect to the memory of Christopher
Columbus in Wooster square.

ANARRoW ESCAPE.

Both the officer and His Prisoner
Were Nearly Under the Wheels of
an Electric Car.
While throngs of people were waiting to
take cars for Savin Rock at the green yes
terday afternoon, and while each and every
car was leaving crowded with passengers,
q drunken man was ordered off the front
platform of car about to start by Officer
George Murphy. He declined to leave the
car and the car was started. The officer
ran alongside the car and just as it was
turning into Church street he jumped up
on the platform and grabbed the man,
pulling him from the car. They fell in
front of the wheels and but for the pres.
ence of mind of Officer John Moore bad
accident would have resulted. This officer
rushed to them and with q powerful eff.
fort succeeded in pulling both men from
the track just in time to allow the car to
pass. 1t was very fortunate escape.

mRR WINS POINT.

An Application for a License - Wig
Orous Opposition - Decision Re-
served. 49,. .zs7E : = :
The county commissioners yesterday
held hearing upon the application of Mr..
Merwin's Point, for license to sell liquor
at that place. Fully score of the cottag-
ers ct Woodmont appeared to vigorously
oppose the LICENSE on the ground that the
quiet and good name of the place as
home-like shore resort would suffer by the
opening of place for the sale of liquor. or
| beer. The people who come there to live
did so because there was no rowdyism or
| drunkenness about the place, at least not
enough to do much damage. Attorney
Asher appeared for Mr.. Sanford. One of
his chief witnesses was Lawyer W. A
| Wright, who testified that the applicant
was proper person to carry on that bust
ness. He did not think that the statute
intended that the commissioners should
exercise arbitrary rules in fixing what
places were unsuitable to sell liquor when
the voters of the town had decided to al
low it. If the commissioners were to de-
eide that there could be no saloon in the
Merwin Point section the ruling would
have to apply to the Pembroke, and as one
of the stockholders in that hotel he was
not favorable to such a ruling, for no large
hotel could be run to pay at the seashore
unless liquor was sold on the premises.
