A Good Wife and MOthel
Gone.
Gone.

1t was with regret of more than
ordinary intensity that a large
number of men, women and chill
dren of this and adjoining par
ishes learned Of the death of Mrs.
Josephine Lake, which occurred III
this city Thursday afternoon at D
O'Clock.
Mrs. Lake was a rare woman.
Such as exalts the name Of WIFE
and renders sublime the word
mother. ImbUed with those virtues
which breed love, peace and han
mony at the iiresidc, her life was
rich example Of self-sacriiice for
the pleasures and comfort of thos"
with whom she was as
sociated, the care of her
family being her chief de
| sire, ,andto accomplish this no depn
yation of self was considered too
great. A good woman has been
called above, and in Obeying that
summons a precious wife, IA loving
mother, has left desolate IA happy
home. But as in all things, true
to her faith, when the Master spoke
the disciple and Heaven has one
more jewel for the Saviour's crown
For the husband and children a
friendly and sympathetic public
invokes the comforting influence OF
a Just and a merciful God. Fol
comfort in sustaining them in the
| loss of her who is now i'll Heaven
a peaceful home won by trials ano
crosses here.

OUR ANN OUNCEMENT

The PRoGREss announces itself a
candidate for public patronage.
In presenting this request for the
favorable consideration of a pro
gressive people, nothing is claimed
in consideration of great achieve
ments gratuitously performed but
must ask that our motives and IN
tentions form the basis of your
support.
This journal will be devoted to
the advancement of all industries
of Shreveport and North LoulsI-
ana. 1t will deal with practical
ideas for the AGRTcULTURIsT, HoRTI-
CULTURIsT, MECHANIC and the HOUSE
KEEPER, with a hearty support to
the PUBLIC SCHOOLS. 1t will be a
HOUSEHOLD PAPER. while as the
friend of all legitimate vocations
It's contents can be perused will
pleasure and improvement around
the fireside.
1t will take no part in the fac
tional embroglios of our politics
but will ever be found in the var
in resisting the encroachments o.
public enemies to the common
wealth, native or foreign.
We think Shreveport and vicin
ity needs such newspaper as In
PRoGREss proposes to be, and w
requestly ask that this venture b'
made a success by giving 1t you
hearty support.

Give Us a Fair Tial.

Give this issue Of The PRoGREss
a careful, perusal and then state
if You can cOnscientiously with

We invite close and earnest crlti
cism, but having so passed upon
our effort, we simply ask that a fan
and impartial verdict be rendered
in the case without prejudice fOl
or against the editor and prOprie-
tors. 1t is human to be swayed 10y
sentiment at times, but In this
latter day when business response
bilities are thrust upon the major
ity of men at quite an early period
of their lives. the pratical side OF
the question from which nearly all
draw their support, must be con
sidered and it is this view OF the
case that THE PRoGREss desires the
public 10 take of its attempt to Sc
cure patronage. Their are two
4ain questions which this paper
desires answered, that Is, IS such a
journal as it proposes to he

Kindly consider these before re
plying in the negative.

OUR CYNIC SAYS

That Shreveport can organize
more enterprises on paper and put
fewer of them into actual opera
ton than any place III the Union.
That our business men have less
public spirit than can be found in
any other place claiming To be Il
town. t-....
~ 90 -
That Shreveport's monied men
would not take stock in an enter
prise Of any kind if they thought
that others would be benefited
thereby.
~
That Shreveport'5 most relent-
less traducers are those who owe
their success to the old town.
That Shreveport will never make
any very rapid strides on the road
to Advancement until collins are
needed for some Of her foremost
citizens
i't
That Shreveport contains more
narrow minded men than any
other town quadruple It's size.
That somo of our citizens are
opposed 10 any measure which
would increase our population and
wealth. because it would detract
somewhat from their standing as
thc hig men of the town.
III
That Shreveport is at her high
est tide now: that the ebb will be
gin later.

Put Your Shoulder to the
Wheel.

In common with the entire
country our State is just emerging,
weak and debilitated, from a pro
tracted struggle with the giant
Finance. While to some extent
this great dictator has been over
powered, the contest has left the
opponent, thereof with little means
and as limited resources with
which to weather the dull season
which now comes on apace. 10
meet the coming demand is what
all should unite in preparing for.
By acting in unison the matter
can be very successfully man
aged, and yet no one will be called
on to give aims. The capitalist
desires an investment for his
money, the mechanic, laborer, etc,
employment. Shreveport furnishes
the field and material, and all that
is necessary is the display of a
little pluck and energy. There
are several enterprises which
should be put in front again after
their sleep during the monetary
stringency. No industry has ever
vet failed in North Louisiana
where it had been properly cared
for and operated on business prin-
ciples. Shreveport has never yet
turned deaf ear to the claims
of any enterprises on her bounty,
and she and her friends, the sur
rounding parishes, are still willing
to yield up their rich treasures to
those who have the honest industry
to delve for them.
Let every citizen contribute his
mite, whether it be in the value of
money, work or encouragement, or
all three, and see if the anticipated
dull season can not be made very
active, thrifty one, which will re-
suit in bringing on a period OF
prosperity which will certainly add
to the growth of the town and in
crease the wealth of the country.
Let every man, woman and child
give at least one push to the ball

CHILL MAY APOLOGIZE,
But Nothing Definite Known at
y Washington.

=! Washington.
New YORK, Jan. 5.-The correspond
.ent of the Herald at Valparaiso tele-
graphs his paper that ne hears that the
Gillian government has cabled orders
to Minister Pedro Montt at Washing
ton to make a sincere apology to
the United States for the unfortunate
and deplOrable attack upon the Balti-
more sailors on Oct. 16 last. The apol-
Ogy. he is told, is unqualified in It's char
acter. Other matters that are in dis
pute between Chilli and the United
States are to be speedily con-
tration. The Correspondent 'i also
telegraphs that from semi-official
sources he learns that the reason the
Santiago police are kept in the vicinity
of the American legation is, that the in
tendente or the city is in daily receipt
of letters containing threats to burn and
sack the legation. The government,
therefore, desires to have the police
near at hand so as to prevent the exc
cutiOn of any such threats.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-No vertical
ton of the rumor cabled from Val
paraiso to the effect that Minister Mohtt
had been ordered to tender an apology
from Chill to the United States on ac-
count of the Baltimore affair could be
obtained here.
Secretary Blaine and Senior Montt. the
CHILEAN minister, had long conference
at the formers residence today. 1t is
rumored that Mr. MOntt has received
copy of the report of the fiscal attorney
on the Baltimore incident. and that he
furnished copy to Mr.. Blaine today.
but this report cannot be verified. An
other report is that he has received
instructions from Santiago to make a
full apology, but this also lacks confir-
m alton. All that is known about his
conference with Mr.. Blaine this morn
ing is that it was of sufficient length
and Importance to keep Mr.. Blaine
away from the cabinet meeting.

TALL GIRLS
Are in Fashion and the Demand Is
Lively.


Harper's Magazine.
1t is the fashion for girls to be tall.
This is much more than saying that
tall girls are the fashion. 1t means not
only that the tall girl has come in, but
that girls are tall, and are becoming tall,
because it is the fashion, and because
there is demand for that sort of girl.
There is no hint of StOutneSS; indeed,
the willowy pattern is preferred; but
neither is leanneSS suggested: the Wom-
EN- of the period have got hold of the
poets idea, tall and most divinely
fair" and are living UP to it.
Perhaps this change in fashion is more
noticeable in England and on the CONT
nent than in America, but that may be
because there is less room for change in
America, our girls being always of an
aspiring turn.
Very marked the phenomenon is in
Europe this year; on the street, at any
concert or reception, the number of tall
girls is so large as to occasion remark,
especially among the young girls Just
coming into the conspicuousness of
Womanhood.
The tendency of the new generation
is towards unusual height and gracious
SlimneSS.
Inc SITUATION WOULD De embarrassing
to thousands of men who have been too
busy to think about growing upward,
were it not for the fact that the tall girl,
who must be looked up to, is almost in
variably beningant, and bears her height
with sweet timidty that disarms fear.
Besides, the tall girl has now come on
in such force that confidence is infused
into the growing army, and there is
sense of support in this survival of the
tallest that is very encouraging to the
young.

Mr.. Carnegie, the great ironmaster
apostle of protection for the sake of the
dear workingmen, puts all the work
men in his establishment on a new and
lower scale of wages today as a New
Years reeting.-Providence Telegram.
1t is pleasantly announced from Penn
sylvanIa that Andrew Carnegie will
swear off paying his mill hands the
wages they have hitherto received, and
will enter their salaries on the new leaf
of his ledger at 10 per cent reduction
Chicago Times.
Mr.. Carnegie, the Pennsylvania iron

to the lowest scale yet reached, and Mr..
Carnegie's business is the one of ali
that has been lifted into a position to
command the world, in its line, by trib-
ute from the American people.-Toledo
Bee.
Andrew Carnegie remembered all his
liberal reduction of wages. This will
prevent them squandering SO much
money on friyOlitieS and allow of more
time for reflection. Andrew will also
obtain place in their hearts and in
those of their families.-St. Paul Pho
neer Press.
Three thousand steel and iron work
ers employed by Andrew Carnegie at
his works at Homestead, Pa, have re-
ceived notice that for three months sue
ceeding Jan. 1, 1892, they will be re-
quired to work for lower wages than
has been paid them since the mills were
built eleven years ago. 1t is matter
of great deal of regret, as well as sur
prise, that in these days of large gov
eminent contracts, with Mr.. Carnegie
getting his share Of them, he should be
obliged to reduce the wages of his work.
