Frederick W. Deitzel OF S17 Ninth avenue has
brought suit in the Supreme Court to recover

ago at a pool room at 1873 Fast Fourteenth
street. Tho suit is brought against Michael
and James Murray. who were proDrietore OF
the pool room. which was known as the Palm
Garden. According TO Deitzel from May. 1893.
he made almost daily visits to the place for
over year. with the exception OF two weeks,
when he was sick. He never won single bet
in all this time. He kept n memorandum of
his losses, but is unable to tell the number OF
any OF his tickets excepting one for $500.
which no invested on Lakewood on july. u,
1894 This was a largo bet for Deitzel, and It
led him to make u note of the number OF the
ticket. Lakewood forgot how to run in the
race. and was badly beaten.
The Murray brothers make q general denial.
The trial has been set down for the first Mon
day In January.

. NEW ORLEANS. La. Dec. 15.-At q conference
OF Louisiana sugar planters. held at tho offlce
: Of John Dymond President OF the Louisiana
Sugar Planters Association. the Wilson bill
was discussed and the following resolution
adopted:
R.-ssd That 10 IL the of this meeting that our
Congressional delegation. both In the and Sen.
sts DuEht 70 oppose the passage OF the Wilson bill IN
lsss the bounty provisions Of the Mckinley bill shall
remain intact
Mr.. Dymond explained tina object OF the con-
ference as follows:
The resolution was adopted without dis
senting voice. and may truthfuly be said to
represent the concerted wishes OF the sugar
interests OF the State. The need which the
sugar industry has either for the protection OF
bounty or Of duty cannot be questioned. In
one form or another this 10 afforded It In all
other parts OF the world. Here In Louisiana
We cannot manufacture by means OF machin-

great By reason OF the tariff. The manufac-
turers OF sugar machinery arc protected and
can charge price in proportion. so long a 5
the bounty Of cents pound was paid. the al
terat1ons in the duty did not much matter.
But as 1t 10 the policy OF the Democratic party
70 abolish both. the outlook is serious. not to
The Government cannot afford to change
She duty on sugar, because 10 do so would
cohnlcl Mltn tne provisions OF many OF the
reciprocity treaties and require a practical re-
Nisal OF those with Cuba, for instance. II is
only necessary TO make this fact apparent to
9bviats this danger. This is why we ask tho
Louisiana delegation to oppose conditionnily
the passage Qf the Wilson bill. 1t means tho
Raralysis Of The sugar trade to remove both
the bounty and the duty"
This Is thsView entertained by a majority OF
the planters The New Orleans newspapers
have been disposed to consider the bounty
doomed, and to urge the Louisiana delegation
TO support the proposition TO Impose n tariff

Little Peter.

This is the real name of the petrol,
a bird that lives on the sea- The
harder it storms the better he likes
it, and the more noise the sea makes
the louder he cries.
The sailors, who are all so jolly,
never like to meet a petreL They
are so dismal in their coaI-bIa
coats, and seameh think they bring
Them ill-luck, too.
You could not guess how the petrol
sleeps. He first makes of himself a
feather ball, and sits on the water,
just as your canary does on his perch.
Why does he not sink? Because
his feathers are so oily he cannot.
These birds grow so fat that, tC
the poor islanders in very cold coun.
tries, they are invaluable. After
they are dead wick is drawn through
their bodies and set on fire, and you
can hardly believe how well this
queer kind of a lamp lights up theii
simple huts
The petrol never goes on shore ex.
cept to build their nest, which IL
hidden snugly away between rocks O!
in the sand. There she lays her one
egg and brings up her baby. All day
the petreI lives on the water, but she
never forgets at night to feed it.
Sometimes they are called Mother
Carey's chickens" If you ever 60
across the water, YOU may see them
some day.-Our Little Ones.
