Escaped from the Man Who Was Cleaning

Escaped from the Man Who Was Cleaning
Him and II Took Strategy to Catch Him.
A truck horse escaped from his kaeper in
one Of the many stables in West Sixteenth
street yesterday afternoon and for twenty
minutes made it lively for pedestrians In the
neighborhood.
The horse. q big black fellow. was being
rubbed down. when he suddenly gave kick
and started through the open door for the
street. Tho man who had been cleaning MIN
ran after him. but the horse had good lead
and ran like IL racer in the ERECTION Of seventh
avenue. His heavy iron shoes clattered on
the cohblcStones and the man. fearing the
horse might run somebody down. decided
to resort to. strategy to get him back
into the stable. So he turned around and
started TO run the other way. The horse,
finding that tho chase had been given up.
turned around also and ran after the ma n.
The latter ran into the stable. hut the horse
cunninGly refused to follow. Instead he be-
gan to frisk around at great rate. He stood
on his hind legs. walked on the sidewalk. and
enjoyed himself generally. Pedestrians took
refuge on stoops and In front yards.
The horse seemed to appreciate the ssnsa-
tion he was making. and lodged and ran away
every time the gang OF bic hands. who had
com ined to catch him. came near him. The
stable men finally. In despair. led out the
horses mate. ran her IN and down the block.
md then led her in the stable. The frisky horse
followed and was captured. Then the door Of
the stable was quickly closed

The Easter Sunday celebration

AS large a crowd never before gat-
hered to our town; people from
every corner of the parish came to
participate in the celebration. Dan

The ..Blaek Diamond..''

lag OA3SA AAAs3AAAOAAASs
The "Black Diamonds" made
their debut at Falk's Hall last Wed
mes night. The hall was crowded
with an appreciative audience, and
the deafening applause with which
the boys were greeted upon the
raising of the curtain showed how
much their first effort was appre-
ciated by the people of Lafayette.
The entertainment was admirably
conducted from the opening to the
close, and the performance was
creditably rendered, and exceeding
ly amusing.
Miss Emma Falk, the bright and
pretty young daughter of Mr.. B..
Falk, favored the audience with a
song, which was one of the most
pleasing features of the entertain
ment.
At the conclusion of the enter
tainment the young ladies and gen
tlemen danced to the sweet strains
of the Lafayette string band, until
the morning hours.
We have not been able to obtain
the exact amount of the sum real
lied, but we should think is entirely
satisfactory, and will considerably
swell the High School fund.
We understand that it is the in
tcntion of the "Black Diamonds
to give exhibitions in the adjoining
towns in the near future. ~

Easter Celebration.

The Easter celebration at the Catholic
church, last Sunday, was observed with UNI
usually grand and impressive ceremonies,
and the church was taxed to its utmost by
the large number of people in attendance.
Solemn high mass was sung at o:3o O'Clock,
the Rev. E. Forge officiating, assisted by
Father dc Stockhalper, S. J., as deacon, and
Father Seguin, S. J. sub-deacon. Father
P. J. Healy was master of ceremonies. Mr..
Segu,n, S. J., was the orator of the day, and
delivered Almost eloquent sermon, having for
his subject the 'sResurrection of the Lord.'
The handsome affairs were most artistical-
ly decorated with a profuseness of varie-
colored flowers, beautiful lily arranged, and
the colors exquisitely blended 50 as to
form gorgeous and pleasing harmony.
The choir was exceptionally fine, with
Miss E. Mouton as organist; sopranos, Misses
A. Judice, E. Gerac, N. Bailey, Gadrat
and Aimee Mouton, M. Cornay; altos, Mrs. E.
Mouton and Mr.. Henry Gerac; tenor, DIR.
Frank J. Mouton; bass, Messrs. H. A. Eas-
tin and Sam Plonsky. The solos were
charmingly rendered by Misses Alix Judice,
Nellie Bailey, Estelle Gerac, and Messrs.
II. A. Eastin, DR.. F. J. Mouton and Henry
Gerac.
Ike elaborate services concluded with
the bcnedction.

From a source entirely reliable we are in
a position to inform our readers that it has
been definitely decided by the manager of
the Teche and Vermilion Telephone line
to include Lafayette in the circuit, and that
work on the extension will begin next week,
starting from Breaux Bridge.
The company, it may be remembered,
had asked helping hand from the people
of Lafayette, but as it was not Forthcoming,
the company, we presume, deeming the
field very promising, came to the very sensi-
bic conclusion to put out their own means.
This will be good news to our people,
who entertained fear that they would be
left out in the cold, thereby leaving them to
the mercy and continuance of heavy toll.
