THE LOUISIANA OFFICES.
The Appointees Of Yesterday Were Endorsed
by the Whole Delegation.

The Appointees Of Yesterday Were Endorsed
by the Whole Delegation.
The fact that all seven Of the important
federal positions in Louisiana we're filled by
the President before his departure for Gray
Gables, while those in other southern states
were left unacted upon by the President yes
terday, has elected comment Suggestions
that the explanation might be that the Louisi-
ana delegation was what the anti-silver men
call sound" on the silver question, while the
delegations from other southern states we're not,
are met by the following statement:
Yesterdays appointment Of seven Louisian-
ians to high federal positions is an instance Of
what may be accomplished by congressional
delegation that ''gets together" Every men,
Der of the Louisiana delegation is now in the
city with the exception Of Mr.. Blanchard, who
left yesterday morning and will not return un-
til Congress Is assembled. The two Senators
and the six Representatives got together" in
Washington few days ago and fixed up an ap-
pointment slate. Naturally there were many
compromises. Each took turns in giving away
to the other. They were tired Of auarreling,
however, and realized that the President would
name no one until the Congressman had reached
an agreement among themselves
by this action, said Representative Robert
son yesterday, 1--WE have relieved the President
of considerable embarrassment and have also
been placed on better terms with each other.
Louisiana has set an example that think the
other states should follow. The list sent from
the White House is merely reinforcement Of
the old adage that in union there is strength.
MIR. Wilkinson, who was made collector Of Gus
toms. and every other man on the list received
the Endorsement Of the Louisiana delegation as
an entirety. We feel a little proud OF ourselves
because we have reached harmonious adjust
ment of any difficulties that we have had; have
done good thing for the party so far as our
state is concerned, have helped the executive
no little, and l feel well satisfied with the re-
suits of our concert Of action.
1.-The statement that any man named yester-
day is an active or passive opponent Of Mr..
Cleveland IL absurd. The Louisiana delegation
to the Chicago convention opposed his nomina-
tion because it honestly considered that he
would be beaten. 1t was entirely question of
availability. There WAS nothing personal in it.
After his nomination every man to whom he
has given an Office worked for him faithfully
and did good service In proportion to Its
population Louisiana returned the largest
democratic majority in the country"

COLUMBIA, s. c.. July The inception Of the
operation OF the dispenssry law was attended
last night in Columbia with Wild and bachs-
nalian revels. This Law is an innovation and ex-

Of town. These liqssrs can be bought from
the county dispensers in ''original packages"
containing from half pint to Eve gallons Of
''stuff." These packages cannot be opened on
the dispensary premises.
Seven or eight counties have already elected
TO have dispensers, who are appointed by county
boards of control. which are directly under the
supervision Of stAte board control. Other

BENEFITS OF TIE Law.
There will be no open saloons. no druggsd
connections called whisky and almost no treat
ing under the dispensary law. These are some
Of its benefits. The dispensers receive fixed
salaries and have no inducement TO increase
their sales. Clubs wiIl not be allowed TO dis
pense liquors. Provisions OF law for punishment
Of attractions are very strong. The violators
can be reached either by equity or criminal
process. by Judge or Jury.
Nearly every bar has made phenomenal sales
this week. many people buying enough TO last
for months Columbia bars kept open house
until IL o'clock last night. Their sales were inn

the streets. A double guard was on duty at

THE HOOPER PENSION.
The Police Commissioners, by { Strictly Party Vote, Refuse to Gram

The Police COmm1ssioners, by a
 Strictly Party Vote, Refuse to Grant
 the Pension-Other Business.
 The board of police commissioners last evening again wrestled with the question of granting the widow of the late Charles A. Hooper pension, but after discussing 1t for over an hour left it in practically the same condition it has been for some months past.
 The question was precipitated upon the board by Commissioner Hum, who moved that the request of Mrs. Hooper, for pen sien, be granted. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Prince, and the members of the board settled themselves down to discussion of the case. Commissioners
 Hum, Prince and Platt vigorously urged
 the granting of the pension, claiming that
 in their opinion the officer had died from
 the result of the inj1ries received while
 chasing burglar, and his widow was en- titled to the pension. Commissioner Clancy stated that he was not satisfied with the report of the doctors in the case, and did not believe that he had died from the injuries received. The board, he said, had done as well as could be expected of them under the circum- stances.
 Commissioner Andrew stated that under the charter of the city he was of the opin- ion that the pension could not be lawfully granted.
 After a long and at times heated discus zion 2 vote was taken on the subject, the three republican commissioners, Hunn, Prince and Platt, voting in favor of grant. | ing the pension and the three democratic commissioners, Andrew, Clancy and Gil huly, against it.
 Lsave of absence was granted to Officer John F. Nettleton for six weeks to attend the worlds fair at Chicago, and to Officer Nichols for period not exceeding twenty days from June g for the same purpose Sergeant Jotham H. Orr was granted per | mission to spend his nights at the shore. The board voted to pay Officer Ben Jack | son for seven days time lost in consequence | of injuries received while in the discharge of his duty May 2S.
 The board also approved the bill of D 1 c. Cook q Sons, amounting to $200, fol the new bay horse recently purchased by the department.
 | Supernumeraries Bart, Daley and Pete
 Dargen were unanimously detailed for per
 manent duty, their appointment to dat
 from May 2.
 An attempt was made to detail an office for duty at East Rock park for the ensuinl year, and two ballots were taken, each re sulting in Officer Schroeder receiving

 matter went over, after the second ballot

The Yale Law School Team Seeks to
 Recover Twenty-Five Dollars From
 the University of Vermont Team.
 The unusual proceeding of one college base ball team garnisheeing the receipts of another was gone through at the Yale field yesterday afternoon in proceedings insti, tuted by the Yale Law School team through Attorney James Martin of this city against the team of the University of Vermont for the sum of $25. The papers were served by Deputy Sheriff Fredericks, and are re- turnable before Justice Bill June 22.
 The causes of the proceedings were as follows: May 19 the Yale Law School team went to Brattleboro, Vt, to play @ game with the University of Vermont team un- der guarantee of $125. After the game the managers of the home team would only pay the Yale Law School team $10O, alleg- ing that the agreement was that Bowers was to pitch for the visitors and he had not done go. The management of the Yale Law School team took the $10O under pro- test and returned to this city.
 Yesterday the University of Vermont team came to this city to play the Yale 'vsrsity team at the field. Manager Durant at once retained Attorney J. B. Martin, and the papers were drawn and served upon Msssrs. Swayne, Sksnker and Jen- kins of the Yale team and Manager E. H. Leavitt of the University of Vermont team, garnisheeing the guarantee to be paid the latter by Yale. The suit may be settled to day.
 Manager Durant denies that any agree ment was made with the University of Vermont men to the effect that Bowers was to pitch in the game, as alleged.

BURIAL IN THIS CITY.

Death of Miss E. ID. ApthorP.
 Miss Elizabeth D. Apthorp died at her homo on Laurel street, Hartford, Monday afternoon. She fell last week and broke her hip, and, though recovery was not pos sible, 1t was hoped that, with her healthy body and cheerful disposition, she still might enjoy some years of life. But the accident proved fatal. Miss Apthorp was born in Boston, but spent most of her life in Hartford and New Haven, and was a most successful teacher in each place. The former pupils of her private school in Winthrop street in Hartford, as we'll ss many other friends there and elsewhere, remember with respect and affection her clear mind, her scholarly gifts and her choice Christian character and lovable per sonality. Of late years she has led retired life, retaining, however, her interest in af- fairs and in her friends. She was conscious up to the last moments of her life and her death was the peaceful and happy ending, here, of 8 useful life. She would have been eighty seven years old had she lived until to-day. She leaves three sisters. one of whom is Mrs. Horace Bushnell of Hart ford.
 The funeral services will be at 10 o'clock this morning and the burial will be in New Haven
