MILITARY NOTES.

There will be mask ball at Muth's
pavilion Sunday night and very enjoy
able time is anticipated.
The officers and their families will have
their b-weekly hop at the post hop room
at Fort Sam Houston tomorrow night
The music will be furnished by the 23d in
trautry band.
Last night was too cod for the usual
reception at the officers club rooms which
is weekly rendered the ladies. The con-
cert was also postponed.
The excitement over Cara has almost
died out, but still he is running at large.
According to several reports he was
hemmed in and would be captured in a
day or two. Weeks have slipped by since
then and he is seemingly no nearer being
captured than when he first began the
trouble. Some OF Uncle Sans best cav
airy troops are chasing him, but Ii is next
to impossible for them 10 find him.
Canteen checks will again be issued in a
few days. Since the cavalry left the can
teen has been doing rather poorly.
Yesterday the new CommisSary Ser
geant E. Moriarty arrived at Fort Sam
Houston and reported to Captain Eagan,
for duty. CommiSsary Sergeant Young
who exchanges with MOriaSty, will pro-
badly leave for Eagle Pass, his new post
tomorrow.
Private NJ. J. Donegan, of the Bird ar.
tillery has been pronounced insane and
recommended for admittance to the gov.
errment hospital at Washington. d. C. He
will be sent to that place under escort
This brings TO mind an incident which oc-
Cured few years ago while the 10Th in
fantry was stationed here. An unfortu'
nate soldier was being taken to Washing
t1n for the same cause, but he jumped
cut OF the car window injuring himSel
f''' lfe. He recovered from his insanity
but is a permanent cripple.

Ready to Handle Freight.

The management of the Arkansas Pass
railway have notified their connecting
lines that they are ready TO handle
through freight. 1t was wired yesterday
from Wallis, point On the junction Of
that road and the Santa Fe. asking il It
would receive through freight, and the
reply was in the affirmative. The Mis-
souri,. Kansas & Texas has 100 cars OF
coal for it and the International e. Great
N thern has about thirty cars of through
freight for the line. No concerted tie up
is anticipated on account of failure to
settle the strike, but the men, it is said.
have tacitly agreed not to touch car of
Arkansas Pass freight. Little trouble is
anticipated In delivering to the road
whatever through freight is to be trans
ferred to IL from connecting lines, but the
MO & Arkansas Pass turns over to it's con-
Meeting lines the through freight that 1t
has to turn over to other lines.

ICE.
The West End Lakes Nearly Covered

This morning the beautiful lakes at
West End were covered by ice, except
where the numerous wild ducks and
geese we're merrily playing on their
waters. 1t is the first time in the history
of the lakes that ice was ever seen Con
their surface. The ice in some places, in
-coves near the. banks, has about the
thickness of an inch. In the middle it Is
about one eighth of an inch thick. Rocks
thrown on the surface would not break
the ice. If the present state of the weather
continues for week or So, skaters might
have merry time out there.

An hour later l was comfortably set

Mr.. Andrew Thompson has made an
instrument resembling in its appearance
the oil well locator, which will locate
gold or silver ore. This instrument will
act on these metals whether in ore deep
in the earth or in the shape of coin or
jewelry. Gold and silver money was
placed on the floor and the instrument
quickly located it. The coin was then
placed high above the floor and its lOCa-
ton was quickly and accurately deter
mined. 1t was also tried on gold and
silver ore with the same result. Many
inducements have been offered Mr..
Thompson to disclose the secret of the
little machine, but he has refused all
offers, some Of them very liberal ones.
He has selected a well known resident
of the south side, to whom he intends
before he dies to ilnpart the secret Of the
unattractive looking but most potent
machine. The gentleman designated to
receive this important trust as yet knows
nothing about the instrument except its
effects. He can handle it with as much
dexterity as Mr.. Thompson, hut posses

j. A. McConvillo, who lives on Mon

prised to find a quantity of gold mug

began killing and examining them. In
each of them he found pro rata of mug

thirty-one hens being 1887. .50-an aver

to the State National bank and pro-
nounced eighteen carat fine.

A 6-foot Yankee, seated upon load OF
brooms, drove his team up before the
door of an establishment where he ex-
pected to find a purchaser, jumping
from his seat he entered the store and
the following colloquy took place;
Yankee-Can't l sell you load Of
brooms today, mister?
Dealer-No; don't want any.
Yankee-Better take 'em--sell 'em dog
cheap.
Dealer-Don't want 'em; got enough
brooms.
Yankee-Ill tell you what I'll do, II
you'll take the lot I'll let 'em go for one
dollar dozen. You know they're wuth
double that.
The dealer stroked his chin for mo-
ment, as if in deep thought, and then re-
piled;
"Well, don't want any brooms, as l
told you, but l don't mind making a
trade with you"
Yankee-What sort of a trader
Dealer-Well, I'll take your whole load
at one dollar dozen and pay you one
half cash, you to take the other half in
trade.
Yankee-No you don't mister! You'll
charge me such an all fred profit ON the
other half that might come out at the
little end of the horn.
Dealer-Oh, noi promise you that
you shall have the goods just at what
they cost me, =
Yankee-Wall, mister, that's what !
call square dealin. It's bargain.
And he commenced to unload the
brooms in a pile on the sidewalk. When
he got through he walked into the store
"There you are, mistor; fourteen
dozen, which cal6urlate makes just
seven dollars comm to me-"
Dealer-Yes. that's right there's the
money. Now what goods do you want
for the other seven dollars?
Yankee-Wall, l dunno. You see,
mister, hain't much posted in your
other truck, so guess I'll take brooms'

LAKE CHARLES, La. FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1892



II Is believed that the estimate of $780,
900, 900 which is made of the shares OF
his fathers estate which John Jacob
AstOr received is under the mark, Upon
the division of the property which Will
liam B. Astor left his two sons, William
Astor's share was inyentOried at about
800, 900 900 and while his family have
lived expensively, yet they did not be-
gin to spend his income, and although
he did nothing to increase his wealth,
the yearly acCumulatiOns are believed
to have INCREASED the property by some
SD, 200, 600. DeduCting from this the
SO, 900, 900 given to his daughters, or
$2, 900, 900 apiece, and the charge on the
estate of 100000 a year for the benefit
of his widow, it would still leave for
John Jacob AstOr between $65, 5,OOO,OOO
and $40 100000.
1t is not the amount, however, which
the young man receives that causes spe-
cial interest The sum is so large that a
million either way is Of little account.
The question which interests people here
is what is John Jacob Astor going to do
with his property If he becomes, as his
cousin William Waldorf has, man of
keen business instinct, he will have to
change remarkably. He has one trait
of the Astors perhaps more strongly de-
velOped than it was in any of the others,
and it is a trait which i'll some men
would be called parsimOniOusness. He
is an extremely close figurel, and is Of
such disposition that when he seCuIos a
dollar he feels like making it a prisoner
for life. Whether he branches out as a
daring and conspicuous builder Of real
estate properties Or not his fortune is
certain to increase steadily, because no
rich man in New York, not even Russell
Sage, will figure more carefully over his
expenditures, both personal and bust
ness, than John Jacob Astor will do

rducate Children d HIgh Ideala.


We are too ready to impart instruc-
ton to children from low moods and on
a low plane, because we do not ourselves
habitually dwell in the latitude Of the
uplands. Motives of policy, of vanity,
of seeming instead of being right, enter
into our own lives and alasl poison the
lives of the little ones at the fountain.
A grand life, a brave example, q splen-
did instance of fortitude, of self ahnega-
ton, of courage against odds is never in
vain. 1t is an object lesson that flames
out from the sky, as che planet amid the
host Of lesser stars. Whether it be an
arctic or an African explorer, the leader
of forlorn hope, the missionary living
among the island lepers, or the army
nurse, leaving home and luxury to min
lister to the wounded and soothe' the
dying, the noble ideal is uplifted before
the eyes of those who are yet in the in
itial stages, and whose characters ara
not yet in the mold of destiny.
This thought Of the lofty ideal gives
the chief value of our annual Decoration
Day, giving us pause amid the pomp and
ease of peace, that we may think not of
the pageantry of war, but of its suffer
ings, its fever and thirst, its rigors of
cold and furnace heats, its weary
marches, fierce battles and the patriot
ism which alone condones its bitter woe
and the mourning that follows in its
| track.-HaTper's BaZaF,

4 Queer Mixture Of Children in one Oi
r.. xt.-n.l.- nj. snt,...al rn,.il.li.te.n

A Queer Mixture Of Children in One Of
New Works Big School Buildings,
Until about year ago the principal
Of ward school No. 2S, New York, did
not realize what q queer lot Of pupils be
had, although he had sometimes laughed
over the strange collection Of names
upon the rolls A year ago he took q
census and carefully traced out the
exact part of the earth from which tha
parents of each of his pupils had come,
He found that there were in his school
no less than twenty-seyen different ma
tionalities, speaking about twenty-five
languages other than English and its
dialects. He found that Of these sixteen
were in the primary department alone.
So not long afterward he arranged
novel feature to one of the school enter.
tainments. At certain place in the
programme each child arose, holding
in his or her hands two flags One was
the American flag, the other the flag Of
the nation from which the father had
come. The visitors to the school We're
astonished. They recognized half Q
dozen flags well known as the banners
of European nations Italian, German,
Spanish, French, Swiss and the like.
Then they saw nearly a dozen others,
recognizable from theiFshapes and colors
and designs as the banners Of barbariO
OF semibarbaric countries, known 70 ua
in vague way as heathen.
When these children, none being un'
der FIVE years of age, first come TO this
school they are foreigners to the very
core, They speak the language OF their
fathers, and perhaps have never even
heard the sound of an English word.
They are of the country from which
their parents came both in customs and
ideas. Their clothing alone bears the
stamp of America, and that so out Of ac-
cord with their faces and expressions
that they seem ill at ease, and even more
poorly clad than they really are. They
enter the primary department. And
here it may be said that, although the
youngest are five years old, the ages OF
many extend upward toward eighteen
and twenty years, s. lis
1t is the business of Miss Rose O'Nein
and her seven assistants to teach these
children the English language, and then
| to make American children out Of them.
Go into the school at the beginning of
the school year, and you will think the
task hopeless, impossible Come back
at the end Of six months, and If you
close your eyes and listen to the reading
exercises you will not be able to dis
tinguish Chinese child OF Arab child Of
Tunisian child from the few pure blood.
