CORPUS DELICTI.
A Phrase That Bothered Baron Won
EngIander in Court.

Any one who has ever had anything to
do with the Police Court of this city has
observed Baron Won Engander, one Of the
shining lights. He is a good old gentle
man who would not Intentionally do any
one wrong, and he has a great many
friends, in and outside of the bar. Shortly
after the Baron was admitted to practice
in the Police and Justice Courts by virtue
of parchment issued to him by one of the
District Courts. he appeared one day in
the Police Court as counsel for a woman
who was accused Of having committed a
battery on neighbor. 1t was an ordinary
case, but the Prosecuting Attorney had
failed to establish a material point and as
the Baron was about to call the defendant
TO give her version of the affair, an attorney
who had had more practice in the law
than the Baron whispered something in
his ear.
A moment after the Baron rose and
asked that the case against his client be
dismissed. but he did not assign any reas on
for his motion.
upon what ground does the gentleman
ask for dismissal?" asked the Prosecut-
ing Attorney, addressing the court.
Upon the ground" said the Baron
quietly. and looking wise, that the prose-
cuti0n don't prove that the corpus licked
her."
You mean." suggested the court. that
the corpus deficit has not been estab-
lished."
That's it." unhesitatingly added the
Baron. There was no corpse in that
case. and. if there was, the corpse couldn't
have licked her,
The motion was denied. and after recess
the Baron purchased a book giving defini-
tiUns of La tin law terms.

in America but Mcleod would undertake.

SPACE CONTRACTS MADE.
The DirectOr-General Makes His
Report.
AN ENCOURAGING STATEMENT.
Executive Committee of the Midwin.
ter Fair Receives Applications
From Eastern Exhibitors.

Director-General NJ. Il. de Young re-
turned from Chicago yesterday. He ex-
pressed himself as highly elated with the
success of his mission to Chicago. which
was to close up contracts for space in the
Midwinter Exposition buildings and to
make special arrangements for attractions.
Not only has he secured exhibits of a
quantity and quality that will be highly
satisfactory to all concerned, but he has
satisfied himself. even beyond the hopes
he had all along entertained, that there
is to be very large influx of Eastern
visitors to California during the coming
winter.
This fact was particularly apparent"
said Mr.. de Young last evening, when /
came to secure accommodations on the
train homeward bound. The best reser-
vations are all made on the overland trains
for weeks and months to come, and it is
with great difficulty that Californians can
secure comfortable quarters on their way
home.
SIN regard to foreign exhibits at the
Midwinter Exposition we are going to have
all that We can furnish space for. For
instance. the commissioner for English
a contract for 5000 square feet of space in
the Manufacturers building, and we have
been furnished with a list of the exhibitors
in that section, which includes the most
prominent of those which were seen at
Chicago. The Swiss commissioner has
secured 1000 square feet, in which is to be
placed a magnificent exhibit of carved
woods, watches. jewelry. ivory and other
articles for which the Swiss are famous.
I'm addition TO the contract above re-
feFred to as having been made with the
English commissioner, there has been a
special contract made for a collective ex-
hibit by Irish exhibitors. which is to cover
1000 square feet. Oriental exhibitors have
also contracted for 1000 square feet in the
Manufacturers building. Twice this
amount will be needed for the Austrian
exhibits of Bohemian glassware, pOrce-
lains, pottery, ivory and other beautiful
things, and probably an extra thousand
square feet will be taken in this depart
ment.
''The Russian exhibit will. perhaps. be
one of the handsomest Of all. 1t will cover
1900 square feet. and will include the
grand display of Russian furs. bronzes.
malachite. amber, Jade, hand painted
papier mache plaques and portfolios. which
were the sensation of that section in Chi
cago. The Russians will bring with them
a magnificent facade and will ornament

have from the Russians some of their
greatest pictures, including Makoursky's

1.-THE collective Italian exhibit will
occupy 5000 square feet and will include a
magnificent display of marble, statuary,
carved furniture. hand-painted work. Ital-
ian jewelry. mosaics, Florentine and Roman
coral and cameo work and many magnifi-
cent bronzes. The japanese will also
have fine exhibit in Manufacturers Hall,

having secured 5000 feet for that purpose
and the Germans will also do themselves
credit. For the Art Department we have
secured tie entire Polish art exhibit, over
a hundred of the French pictures and a
large number from the German and other
art departments.
But tie work that has been done ia
Chicago has by no means been confined 10
foreign exhibitors. Our American depart.
ment will include the exhibits of many OF
the leading concerns of the country.
''Ohe of the silk houses will have the
privilege of weaving souvenir silk badges
where all can see the progress of the work.
Another will weave silk handkerchief
and silk dresses while you wait. Another
interesting American exhibit will be that
OF an electric plating company, which
plates goods I'D the presence Of the specta-
tors.
II forgot TO say, in speaking of the for
eign exhibitors, that a contract has been
signed for the beautiful CeylOn pavilion,
which was in Manufacturers Hall at the
Columbian Exposition, also that Mr..
Samuels. the commissioner in charge OF
the Swedish exhibitors, promises very
interesting display of cutlery and antique
arnOr. Among the special concessions
arranged for while in Chicago was one for
miniature carriages, coupes and pony
wagons. and another for Scenic Rail
way 6000 feet long. on which the passeD-
gers. after taking the different curves of
the road. pass through tunnel and large
house which is all lighted up as they enter
it by automatic electric lights.
Among the contracts made was one for
the decoration and illumination Of the
electric tower. A 500-light incandescent
plant will be put in, and another contract
provides for 200-arc light.
Inc tlnanpa Pnmmittpa fOr the huii6 ING

A geographical congress is being ar
ranged for March 16. 1894. The local soci.

AN ADDRESS.

The following address, published by
the Alexandria Town Talk, was delivered
in Rapides parish by one Of the native
colored citizens of Grant, and We repub-
lish it by request:
FeIl0sc-C Citizens II am here tonight
for the purpose Of giving You short talk
on education.
The object of education is to develop
mind, body and soul; to make men and
women of the children committed to our
care, to the end that they may become
good citizens.
Education, in the most extensive sense
Of the word, may comprehend every
preparation that is made in our youth for
the sequel of our lives.
Fellow Patrons, to learn how to observe
and how to distinguish things correctly
is the greater part Of education. Let our
wstchword be onward and upward; let
us strive to do our best in every undertak-
ing, and above everything else in acquir-
ing an education. Now is our time, while
We are in the spring time of life. Edu-
cation is Latin word, meaning to draw
out.
Let US stop and think awhile. Com
pare our time with the ancient time; see
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1893-01-28

An article appeared in the last issue Of
the Colfax New Era, from Howcott, La,
and signed by three parties, rejecting
very severely upon Mr.. j. w. Holloway,
of Alexandria, and Mr.. G. w. Henry, Of
Avoyelles. Mr.. Henry appeared before
Justice A. B. Rachal Monday morning and
made an affidavit against Mr.. Con. John
son, one of the signatories, who happen
ed to be in Alexandria, charging him
with criminal libel, and had a warrant is
sued for his arrest. We understand that
the sheriff of Rapides, to whom the war
rant was directed, arrested him and COM
mltted him to the custody of q deputy
sheriff from Grant parish, who, from q
misconception of his duty in the premi-
ses, released him.-La. Democrat.
On the above being shown to Sheriff
Kemp, he said he did not know who the
deputy referred to could be, but it may
have been Mr.. Clark, of ward five. He
Sheriff Kemp was in Alexandria few
days ago himself, but heard nothing Of
the matter at that time.
