THE PLAsTERRRs DENY

That the Hod-Carriers Are Going to Strike
to Help Them.
The plasterers yesterday denied the re-
port that the hod-carriers were going to
strike to help the plasterers win. Secre-
tary Spilker said they had made no arrange
ment with the hod-carriers nor any other
organization to help them in their trouble.
They say they need no help.
The strikers yesterday sent out seven nom
union men. The bosses have not succeeded
in getting any men this week.

few days at New Iberia with their
neice and adopted daughter, Mrs.
George W. Adams. From there
they will visit their friends in La
faretta and elsewhere, after which
they will SO to New Orleans, where
t:,ey will remain few days. They
VA probably spend few days in
New York, before sailing for Eu-
rope. Their objective point is
Tarbes, France, the native city of
Mr.. and Mrs. Damare. From
there they will visit the European
countries, and will be absent about
two years. Mr.. and Mrs. Damare
have passed over 40 years in bust
ness in this town, and by strick at
tention, thrift and economy, have
amassed an independent fortune
that permit them to live the ba-
lance of their days leisurely.
They have, during the long years
they have lived among us, won the
esteem and respect of the whole
community, who wish them bon
royage. We hope after enjoying
the sights and pleasures of the old
country, they will return to their
elegant home in the lovely and
good old town of st. Martin, to
live peacefully and quietly the re-
manning of their lives.

A New Party.

1t seems that there are not
enough parties now in the field to
suit some people and 30 they pro-
pose to establish another one and
have it in good working order by
November next. The new candi-
date for popular favor is to be, if
it is established, the silver party,
and its object will be to put sill
yer man in the White House.
The idea seems to be to nominate
some such man as Senator Teller,
with Werner Of Ohio on the ticket
for second place, or some one who
entertains similar financial ideas.
Like the majority of such ideas,
it will be most likely to evaporate
In talk, hut if it should materia-
lie into action, it would end the
uncertainty about the result of the
next presidential election. An
out and out silver candidate would
in all probability carry the States
of Colorado. Montana, Wyoming
and Idaho, and would have a re-
markably fine chance of carrying
Kansas, Nebraska, the two Dako-
tas and one or two other Western
States. This would result in
throwing the election of the pre-
sident into the House Of Repre-
sentatives, where the Democratic
majority is 80 large that IL is I'M
wieldly.
But while we were getting q De-
mocratic president, the Republi-
cans would secure the vice presi-
dency for the Senate is safely Re-
publican. But this IS matter
which the average Democrat would
bear with equanimity if his party
could secure the presidency.
This would be the certain result
of a four party candidate for the
presidency- We saw fourth marty
candidate, for we look upon it as
certain that the Peoples party
will have ticket in the field, with
a bare possibility that it might
carry one or two States. remote it
is true, but still a possibility. 80
if the silver men are in earnest
and the third party people persist
in running q ticket the next Pre-
sident of the United States will be
a Democrat.-New Delta.

We are told that some Of the

boys played a nice trick on the
girls this week; while promenad-
ing, as usual they invited the la
dies to take some refreshment,
which, as matter of course, they
smiiingly accepted-they never
say no on such occasions-they
vent to the refreshment parlors,
called for the good things that
we're to be had, and when that was
comsumnated, the boys coolly and
deliberately said; well, this is
leap year. you have to foot the
bill" which the girls pluckily did.
The next time they are invited to
take some ice cream and soda,
they might hesitate unless provi-
ded with some ready cash. Leap
year, after all, may prove a bless
ing, or at least relief, even to
boys.

a Freak of Nature.

Special to the Picayune Lafay-
cite, La, May l. Probably one
of the strangest and NEST curious
freaks of nature in the form of HUI
mainly was to be seen at Clark's
Hotel, in Lafayette, during the
past few days. 1t was child ell
tirely devoid of arms or legs, hav-
ing only a set Of Aippers very
much resembling those of turtle
as substitutes for limbs. These
projections, though very short, ex-
tend at right angles from the bo-
dy and are tapped about quite vi
gorously by the child which,
strange to say, is possessed of
magnificent physique in other re-
spects and succeeds in tumbling
about the floor in a lively fashion.
At the extremities of these flip
pers or limbs are strangely deve-
loped nail claws, quite small. but
capable of a certain extent of pre-
hension. Five claws on each of
the forearms supply the place of
fingers and three claws on the left
foot and four on the right mark
the location of the toes. The fin
gers and toes, if such they may be
denominated, are destitute Of bone
and are really nothing but a mass
of shapless flesh somewhat resem-
bling those members.
Little Arthur Foreman, the
child in question, is about 2 years
old, the son of Erasco Foreman, of
yermillioh parish, and is just be-
ginning to talk very fluently.
With a finely formed body and
head and an intelligent counten-
ance the child would doubtless de-
velop into magnificent specimen
Of manhood save for the unfortu-
nate predicament as just describ-
ed. The child is naturally BRIGHT
mentally and has a cheerful dis
position, giving very little worry
to its parents, who are plain coun-
try folks, unable to give too much
attention to the unfortunate little
being thus providentially thrown
upon their hands. Such curious
malformation of humanity is pro-
nounced to be the most wonderful
freak of nature ever seen in this
country and excites the sympathy
of all for the unfortunate family.
