Il. KAUFMA AN.

Among the representative men and active
citizens of our city, is Mr.. L. kaufman. This
gentleman's name has been identified with the
history Of Lake Charles from Its early history,
to the present time, as one Of its projectors
and heaviest owners Of city properly, and
has given q large share Of his attention to the
material Advancement and financial, moral
and social upbuildiDg of the city of Lake
Charles. That l.. Kaufman has a firm hold
on the confidence aud good will Of the public
Is evidenced by the immense patronage be
slowed upon him. BE occupies q eOmmOdI-
Gus new brick store, with glass front, one
hundred feet front by eighty feet deep In
which be carries an endless variety Of dry
goods, clothing, boots, shoes, hats, caps,
staple and fancy groceries, and feed of all
kinds. Mr. Kaufman not only has ample
means and ability to conduct the immense
business he controls, but is a wide awake,
progressive gentleman taking a decided
interest In the advancement of Lake Charles
and its vicinity. Mr.. Kaufman is q clear
sighted, sagaCIOus and manly man, to whose
public spirit and liberal management, the town
Is largely indebted for its growth and pros
perIty. He has shown his decided confidence
IN the future Of our city by investing his cap
Ital here while the town was yet mere ham
let, and the growth Of this little city has more
than justified bis faith in its outcome.

The Work ON Interior Of the
Catholic Church.


We were invited into the Catholic church
one day this week by the pastor In charge
of this arish, Father Wander Ven, to look
over the Improvements he has under way and
10 contemplation, and while we expected 10
be told Of new coats of paint, ETC., We msy
as well confess we were not prepared 10 hear
Of the great changes he proposed to make Of
it's interior. We were introduced to Mr.. p.
h. Whine, Of New Orleans, talented artist
aud pleasant gentleman, who has charge of
the entire work, and who is painting the allie
gorical pictures which are to adorn the nave.
The sides of the church are tB be painted 10
panels between the windows, and the chancel
will be painted In gray stone iD small panels,
bOrdered with gold. This will bring out in
beautiful relief the snowy altar, and rs the
overhead portion win be in blue, with cupid
heads appearing among clouds the effect will
be beautiful, The great pillars which sup
port the lofty root will have the appearance
of granite or marble pedestsls, and will make
them what they should be, ornaments to the
building. But the cToWning glory Of the en-
tire structure will bs the great paintings of
These tRblesux will be FIVE in number, the
central and principal subject will be about
ten by twelve feet, and the others about eight
by ten feet, Only one of the subjects has
yet to be selected, and but one is at this time
about completed, and this is the central one,
The CrucI6xiOn.
We are not an artist, and therefore our
technical judgment may not be Of value, but
this picture has certainly done more than to
catch our fancy. There hangs our blessed
Redeemer on the rough cross, hRnds and feet
lmpSlsd by the great spikes; the wicked crown,
mans present to his savior, pressing INTO his
sacred temples; bis head slightly dropping
forward, as though he had just pronounced
his victorious "It is finished I" and his dying
eyes gazing dreamily in the face Of his agon-
lied mother. The Holy Virgin stands at the
foot of the cross, with left foot slightly ad-
vanced and hands clasped tightly, as though
the horror OF her sons suffering were to
great for her to bear, aud yet with look on
her face as though she felt relief that his pain
was over. John, the beloved disciple, stands
partly behind the cross, gazing upward, sOr-
rowful 1t is true, and yet triumphant. At
the foot of the cross, so closely against 1t that
her tresses sweep against bis blessed feet,
kneels Mary Magdaline, her hands pressed
againSt her bosom and a womSnish look Of
complete despair on her face the expression
Of her mouth is mournfully lovely.
The remaining pictures, SO far as selected
are "0ur Blessed Lady Of Victory" doubt
ing Peter" and "The Good Shepherd )" and
while Mr.. WInRe has very kindly given us a
short sketch as to how the subjecta Will sp-
pear, we shall not Dttempt to describe them
till they are completed. We shall take pleas

Dull times offer an unusual good opportu-
