ward several piles of sea trout as they
lay on the nice inarbl. table OF q hsh-

TWO SINNERS.

There was a man, il was said one time,
Who went astray in his youthful prime.
Can the brain keep cool and the heart keep
quiet
When the blood is a river that's running riot'
AID boys will be boys. the old folks say,
And the mans the better who's had his day
The sinner reformed and the preacher told
or the prodigal son who came back 10 the
fold.
And the Christian people threw open the
door
With a warmer welcome than ever before.
Wealth and honor were his 10 command,
And a spotless woman gave him her hand,
And the world strewed their pathway with
flowers bloom,
Crying, "God bless lady and God bless
groomw
There was maiden went astray
In the golden dawn o: her LIES young day;
she had more passion and heart than head,
And she followed blinGly where fond love
led,
And love unchecked Is a dangerous guide
To wander at Will by fair girl side.
The woman repented and turned from sin,
But 10 door opened to let her in;
The preacher prayed that she might be for
given.
But told her TO look for mercy in heaven.
For this is the law OF earth, We know,
That the woman is scorned, while the man

Let Us Not Get Excited.

While the phrase keep your shirt
on" may be somewhat inelegaDt it is
still very forcibly expressive, 1t
means simply suggestion TO that
one who, under a spell of excitement
imagines that the heat is so oppres-
sive that he must partially disrobe, to
keep his shirt on, it is not as warm
rs he thinks.
This can be applied in more ways
than one and is equally as suggestive
in figurstive sense.
Just now onr people are terribly
excited over the financial question
and the bankers and money lenders
are cracking their whips and making
as much noise as possible in order to
keep it at fever heat. OF course this
is all for a purpose and that purpose
is not in the interest Of the public
you may well imagine, but with TIE
aim to put money in the capitalists
pockets.
1t is on this latter point that We
say TO the people ''let us not get ex'
cited" The country is still safe and
we are selling all kinds OF hardware
at exceedingly close figures. So don'i
be bothered about hard times, but
come to us where little money gees

NASHAND BARNETT GET ANEW TRIAL

NhOli ft.Nk BfAiNffN ' ~
New reached Shreveport Monday
afternoon last, that our Supreme
Court had reversed its first decision
and that Of Judge Taylor in the Nash
Barnett case, and had granted the oc-
cused n now trial.
While this latter decree was exceed
ingly disappointing to large major
ity OF our citizens, to no one more
tha7 Thc PRoGREss, still we cannot
stat, tha, It was particularly surpris-
ing as the brief prepared by the de-
Tense "a, considered masterpiece OF
legal cSSu'ion and was regarded IT. by
many ~ being unanswerable. The
prevalent opinion was that 1t was one
of the ablest documents OF its KIND
tbo, has over been sent to our Su-
preme Court in criminal case.
On thi. the defense have ever been
hopeful of securing new tnal' In
fact were sanguine of 1t II the earn
est attention of the court could be di-
rected properly. How well this ex-
nectation was founded was evidenced
bv the la4t decree of this superior
tribunal which was induced to reverse
itself before the powerful influence
OF legal authorities brought to bear
in this brief. These with the clear,
logical argument of Mr. Nj. G. Elst
ner made the case SO strong that the
Supreme Court could not resist the
fullnsss OF the legal teaching it con
tanned.
This brief was IN the main prepar
ed by Judge A. W. o. Hicks a fact
which Mr.. Elstner will no doubt take
pleasure IN declaring, and MIR. Arthur
Lee Kahn. still another attorney con
nected with the defense, performed
the part assigned to him, and to thes
three. is due the credit for reversing
30 able jurist as Judge 5. l.. Taylo
and gaining a victory for thel
clients. 4N
As far as Judge Hicks and MI
Kahn are concerned they need n
commendstion to this people fror
the Shreveport Times, and howeve
this paper may seek to detract fror
their merits by utterly ignoring ther
in noting the Supreme Courts decis
ion in this case, their records With
the past twelve months, whereinth
firm of Hicks & Hicks and Mr.. Kah
no successfully handled the Hudso
and Elder cases, is sufficient evidenc
on this point. However, we will ver
ture that Mr.. Elstner, as men OF abb
ity are generally that large. has MOI
pity than pride for the Times for il
actions in this case. A man nevt
wants all the credit for accomplishin
feat when others assisted, and III
Elstner is man.
But to return to this now celebrate

must be the result. OF course the d.
fense will attempt to secure a chang

NEW YORK'S WELCOME
A Gay Galaxy of Dignitaries in
Madison Gardens.
Mayor Gilroy Extends the fiospitaIities
of the Great City to the
Nations Guests.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK. April 27.-The Columbian
ball tonight al Madison-square Garden, in
respect to magnficence of decoration and
arrangement and the large number of world
famous guests present, was the most splen-
did ever given in the New World. Besides
the President and his advisers, the chief
legislative body of the United States and
the Spanish grandee, lineal desceudent
of Christopher Columbus, there were the
members Of the diplomatic corps, the ad-
mirals and subordinate officers of every
great naval power in the world, Governors
of neighboring States and famous army
officers.
1t was, in fact, gathering of celebrities
so varied and so glorlOusly arrayed that the
Oldest and most travelled guest acknowl-
edged that he had seldom or never before
seen parallel to the gorgeous picture pre-
sented.
The decorations were rich and elaborate.
The main entrance was draped with pure
whlte smllax, asparagus sprays and cut
howers. Rare exotics were profusey dis
rlOuted throughout, and a myriad of tiny
electric lights shOne from masses of flowers
and verdure. Two silver dragons with great
burning ruby eyes guarded the Madison
avenue entrance.
In the center of the garden thousands OF
sprays of lilies of the valley formed an
arch, and at tile FOurth-avenue end of the
garden was placed an immense japanese
fan studded with electric lights. Directly
beneath this was the reception dias gor-
Geous with flowers aud plants, and at two
corners dragons, such as guarded the en-
trance 10 the garden.
Across the rear of the amphitheater. In
huge letters of light. were the words, "A
New World Welcome" A magnificent
model of the capitol at Washington,
created out Of white cape flowers and
Illuminated with electric lights, rested upon
tie stage of the assembly-room, and a
miniature reproduction Of tue grounds In
natural plants surrounded it.
The Hungarian band occupied the lower
end Of tile stage. which was banked with
palms and cut flowers, while the broad
stairway between the assembly-ruom and
the amphtheater was entirely covered with
drapery OF white and gold festoons of
smilax and tiny lamps.
The entire roof Of the garden was hung
with canopy Of white and gold, dependent
from which were hundreds of clus tering
flags Of all nations. The boxes on either
end OF the garden and along the arena were
decorated with flowers and flags.
The large box on the center of Madison
avenue was occupied by his Honor. Mayor
Gilroy, and President Cleveland's box,
magnfcently decorated. was on the right
OF the Mayors. The boxes occupied by the
Duke of Veragua and his parry were on the
left OF the Mayors. The other boxes on the

steamboats, and steam yachts, two and three
abreast, and all with whistles blowing. men
shouting and women waving parasols as
they passed each man-or-war.
The commotiOn that followed was never
equaled in the Hudson River. Clouds of
steam rose from the tugs and blew across
the men-of-war. The crews of the men-of-
war faced the rail and waved hats and
handkerchiefs at the noisy tugs and steam
boats as they passed. Several steam yachts
sauted the men-of-war with one gun.
which sounded like a top pistol after the big
guns Of the war vessels.
Ihe whistles of the tugs and steamers
kept up continued footing and blowing
from the time they were given permission
TO start until the lower end of the long
squadron was reached. The monotony of
the noise OF the whistles was varied by the
sirens on several tugs and fireboats. Pas
sengers on ths steamboats, crowded 10 the
side toward the men-of-war and many
steamers seemed in imminent danger of
capslzing. They went down the river with
one paddle-wheel In the air, the guards
under wafer and the starboard deck awash.
The fagships of the suuadrons courte-
ously returned innumerable salutes ten
dered by private steamers, and their officers
seemed hedrtHy TO appreciate the interest
their appearance created.
An incident of the parade happened as the
reviewing ships were passing up the river,
just as the Monmouth was abreast of the
Brazilian cruiser Republics. The concus-
sion from the discharge of one Of her guns
broke nearly every piece of glass in the
windows Of the Monmouth's starboard side.
Fortunately no ono was injured, and beyond
momentary scare nothing happened
1nky darkness yelled the Columbian fleet
at o'clock tonight, and not sound was
heard by landsmen from the anchored bat
tleships. Suddenly ray Of light shot up
from the Philadelphia. 1t was long. daz-
zlng, and seemed to pierce the sky. For a
moment 1t remained stationary and then
disappeared. That was The signal for the
scheduled display of electrical searchlights
with which the war vessels are provided.
Quickly following the Phllsdelphia's lead,
the Americans showed the many ways in
