audience too. They examined the books
on the shelves-many of them paper covered
novels of which Manager Frohman bought
700 at Il Sixth avenue store-and they tried!
to get Mr.. Frohman into II discussion about
theosophy and spiritualism, taking their
text from late work by Florence Marryatt.
They fingered in the little shop until Henry
Miller came in off the stage Then they
talked some more, until finally, when they
expressed desire to meet the actor, Mr..
Frohman introduced Mr.. Miller. Picking
up book called "Heartsease" or something
of that kind, novel with pale blue paper
cover, one of the ladies asked if she NIGH,

ture inquired.
The call boy was sent for pen and ink
and when these were brought the actor had
to write this on the cover of the book, the
latter part of it being dictated by the lady,
with compliments of Henry Miller, in
Totlman's bookshop, Liberty Hail. on the
stage of the Empire theatcr, Sept. 8, 1893"
BY this time the other young lady had n
book which Mr.. Frohman had given her,
and Miss Viola Allen had to do the auto
graph act with that.
Isn't Henry Miller just perfectly love

girls say us they passed out.
YES, and wasn't that delightful ruse

other.
In other words, those young women had
taken all that trouble and resorted 10 sub
terfuge just for the sake of seeing Henry
Miller, Viola Allen and n few other actors

claiming that on plaintiffs testimony
they had not made out their case. The

A Lovely SPOT.

Situated the beautiful Bayou Vermil-
ion, one mile from the town of Lafayette,
and owned by Major Sos,hcne Mouton is
the lovely and picturesque Beausejour park.
Nature has, indeed, been lavish in her
gifts to the Parish of Lafayette, and, to no
spot has she been more liberal in bestowing
her favors than on this beautiful place.
There stands the large and outrageous
| oaks, robed in slvery moss drapery, dcfying,
Ajax-like, the destructive hand of Time :;
the gorgeous vcrdurc and flora of exquisite
| tints and, the bubblng springs, the water
of which is as clear as crystal,-the living
| evidence OF Natures r,aasterful performances
| To this, and which enhances very much the
natural beauty of the place, is a large plat
form, architectarally tasty, and circular in
form, for dancing rostrum, from which
| many an address has been delivered a ner-
ry-go-round and sce-saw, for the children :;
comfortable benches, for the weary :; arbors,
with growing trcllis, sen.imentally denomi-
| mated lovers retreat; the evcr-flowing
spring, whose limpid, cool and invigorating
water invite the thirsty the well-arranged,
neat bathrooms, some of the accessories
| that go towards making the whole the lovely
place that it is. The major is contemplating
SoIuc 0elultlondl Improvements, ana on THIS
| line has already set out a number of rose
bushes.
That the beauty and conveniences are
appreciated is attcs,ed by the large number
| of pleasure seekers who throng the grounds,
| and it is recognized to-day par e..eelIance
the ideal place for recreative outing.
| The water of the spring has been par
TALLY analysed and show:
The chlorides of calcium, magnesium
| sodium, and potassium.
| stun.
Carbonates of calcium, magnesium and
sodium.
Iron and Phosphorc acid.
| Total solids 1o.S4o66 grains to gallon.
Organic matter 2.ooS grains to gallon.
And the report adds: y very good water
for ordinary purposes, and may be of value
incidentally owing to the amount of mag
ncsiun, carbonate and dicarbonate present.
| 1t has passed into a truism that one who
employs literally this water for drinking and
| 1avatory purposes, can dispense with the
services of doctor, for he is not likely to
suffer with the ordinary ailments of life,
thus proving that this water possesses much
medicinal virtue.
! The najor is in love with his place, and
| he has every reason to be. His greatest dc
sire is to cmbcllsh it, and solely for this
| purpose he will make moderate charge for
| bathing privileges. and the of the park.

The suggestion of our neighbor, the Ad-

this town encompasses splendid idea, and
one to which The Gazette gives its warlnest
concurrence, and would further suggest that
the parishes of St. Martin and St. Landry
be added. We think an organization formed
of representative men from each of these
parishes could do world of good.

The criminal docket at this session of
court is a large one, and among the number
of cases some are very serious, involving
death should unqualified vcrdicts of guilty
be returned. The trial of these cases must
necessarily consume much time, but the
judge, district attorney, and court officials
seem to be willing to give their best efforts
to expedite court affairs. Last Wednesday
court opened at 10 O'Clock, and continued
in session, with only two short reccsses, un-
til 10 o'clock that night, and took an adj
journmcnt to $500 the next morning, thus
cmonstraiing that public officials are
alive to the public interests, and for which
they deserve much praise.
