two windows with large French
panes and vestibule door in the
center. The wainscoating is I'M
ished in oiled cypress and fine pa
DER. The ceiling is made OF en-
bossed steel painted in colors
which makes a beautiful effect.
The vault is a massive and So
lid structure, entirely fire-proof.
The bank has fine large time
lock safe, burglar proof, a shelf OF
iron lock drawers which will be
rented to individuals for then
personal use to put in safety Je-
wells, valuable papers and Other
object of value. When they rent
these boxes their names are pu'
on said boxes and they are glver
the keys; they only have access tt
the contents of said boxes. There
are also other iron shelves for tht
storing of books and papers in th'
big vault.
The ratings, counters, desks

PRENEZ GARDE!

1t has been a folly, which has
often resulted in the political sui
eide of the man, who after a bitter
contest, has succeeded in reaching
the seat of power, neglects his
friends,-those men who from a
parity of principles, stood by the
flag of which he was the standard
bearer, to place his confidence
and to bestow favors on Office
seekers, who from a sense OF sell
preservation, when they see the
popular tide rise 80 high as to
threaten to engulf their lust for
Office, turn somersault and furi-
ously yell shouts of insecere con-
version and carry the new idol in
triumph. That man, who does
not know that it is much easier to
lose friends than to appease the
rancor of political enemies, and
allows himself to be caught by
such mountebanks is certainly de-
ficient in knowledge of human ma
ture, and In the course of time, as
the old cUun says, that man will
be politically toutu.

that John Doe, stole from a ayOung

Mr.. Editor

Mr.. Editor
Knowing the great interest you
take in every thing undertaken,
the object of which is to promote
the success of the public schools
of the parish; you will no doubt
have the kindness to announce
that an entertainment followed 10y
grand ball, will be given in the
near future, to raise funds for the

Several of our public spirited
ladies have kindly consented to
fill parts in play entitled Sweet

place on September 5, 1893 in the
Court House.
The play will be proceeded by
a Prologue, by Miss Strongmind,

i Prosecuting attorney Miss Strongmind.
| Attorney for Defense Miss GOldthread,

Witness Teddy Br0yen.
The Prologue! Well, this must
} be heard to be appreciated.
This mock-trial is founded on
Ian actual occurrence in one of the
Courts of the State, and in strict
compliance with the rigid rules of
! court procedure, as they are un-
derstood by our women folks. No
: similar play has ever been offered

New York, Aug. 1.-The Worlds
Washington special says: Fol-
lowing is an authoritative state
ment regarding the message which
President Cleveland will send to
the two houses of Congress to-
morrow:
He dwells at length upon the
deplorable condition of the coun-
try as it affects the masses. The
banker and the broker and capita
list, he reasons, can take care of
themselves, but the workingmen
are practically helpless when such
a condition of affairs as now pre-
walls exists. To substantiate this
argument he shows in concise
language the actual effect of the
law known as the Sherman act
now in force. He calls attention
to the dearth of confidence aris-
ing therefrom. He deals, not in
theories, but in facts and figures,
to demonstrate the truth of his
assertion that the burden inflicted
upon the country by this unwise
law falls most heavily upon the
workingman.
1t is for this reason, he believes.
that the demand of the country
for repeal is so strong and univer-
sal. 1t is tue plain duty of all
patriotic citizens intrusted with
the responsibility of government
to heed such a demand. There
fore, he recommends unconditiOn-
al repeal without hint of comprO-
mise or substitute of any kind.
There he stops. Whatever may
be his views regarding the future
use of silver as a part of the ma
tional currency to be fixed posi-
bly, by we'll considered legislation
after a suitable time shall have
elapsed, he makes no suggestions
and outlines no plan which might
meet with his approval. He con-
fines his recommendation and di-
rects the attention of Congress
solely to the pressing need of the
hour-prompt repeal.
He notes the fact that the peo-
pie in the last election made an
emphatic demand for revision and
reform in tariff legislation. The
pledges then made must be kept
But since that time an unforeseen
exigency has arisen and it must
be met and mastered. 1t is the
plain duty of Congress, therefore
to afford relief to the country by
placing repeal of the financial sta.
tute ahead of all other cOntem.
plated Legislation relating to the
tariff or any other subject.
i That is the substance of the
message. 1t is pronounced by
members of his Cabinet, who
alone have read it, the ablest Stat,
paper Mr.. Cleveland has ever pro
duced. Not the least of its mer
it's is its brevity. Published il

Siberian Natives Who Are InsensibIe to a
Very Low Temperature.
How much usage viii do in tougher
ing the human body is well shown by
some facts about the natives of Siberia,
as recorded by the author of Reindeer,
Dogs and Snowshoes." Cold, he says,
seemed to have no effect upon them.
Frequently, when we could not ex-
pose our ears for two minutes without
having them frozen. the natives would
go for an hour at a time with their
hoods thrown back from their heads;
and when it required constant watchful-
ness to keep our noses from freezing,
they did not appear to notice the tenn
perature at all.
One morning in January I stood in
perfect amazement at their disregard Of
the low temperature They worked for
at least half an hour with bare hands,
packing up the tent and utensils, hand
ling the packages and flashing them to-
gether with icy seal thongs, without
experiencing the least apparent ircon-
venience, while I partly froze my fin
gers striking light for my pipe with
flint and steel, the whole operation tax
ing not more than three minutes.
The night before, happening to go
out of the tent after our men had re-
tired, passed their camp, which was
near by. Their FIRE mad burned to
pile of embcrs, barely affording me
light enough to distinguish the
sleepers. They were lying coiled up on
small deersllins. with their backs to the
embers and their fur coats thrown
loosely over their naked bodies.
The coat Of one of them had slipped
almost entirely off his body, leaving his
back and shoulders exposed to a tenn
perature OF eighteen degrees below zero,
Fahrenheit, and, though his hair was
frosted. he snored as soundly as if in
