The Sheriffs' Convention.

The Louisiana Sheriff's Associa-
ton of which Sheriff Broussard of
this parish is the originator, met in
New Orleans Monday, and from &C
counts published in the city papers
it is a success, Governor Foster was
present and delivered brilliant and
interesting address. Mayor Fitz-
patrick also spoke. Most of the
parishes in the state were repre-
sented, not excepting Lafayette.
OF course, Ike was on hand and,
as usual, took a prominent part in
the proceedings. Tuesdays Picay-
une contains his picture and has
this to say about him: 'sThe treas
urer of the association is Mr.. 1. A.
Broussard, of Lafayette. He is one
of the most jovia1 of the members.
He was born in Calcasieu parish
in 1857, and before entering public
Office had been engaged in raising
stock and trading cattle. He was
elected sheriff in 1888. Yesterday,
at the Crescent Club, Mr.. Broussard
took great pleasure in introducing
his friend, Mr.. Julian Mouton, of
Lafayette, as a t'sure winner" to
become the successor of Mr.. Overton
Cade as representative from Lafay-
cite in the legislature"

A special from New Iberia, of Jan.
IS. says: ''To-day Hamilton
Hankins and Henry Norwood were
arrested and jailed, charged as &C
cessories in the killing of James
Gill in the Central Saloon, Friday
night by Ben Saintes. 1t is alleged
that the police are in possession of

by Sutherland Edwards. The story and plot
are most humorous and the audience was

the opening of tn. story to the fall of the
curtain. The one that appeared to please
most of all, however, was Brazen Born,'
the closing play. 1t lasted for about an hour

THE KNIGHTS or HONOR.
Installation of Officers for the
Ensuing Year.

Lafayette Lodge No. 3194 K. OF
H. was organized in the year 1885
by few earnest men, but it rapidly
increased in membership and to-day
it is one of the most prosperous
lodges in the State. Among it's
members, whose names are printed
below, will be found men represen-
ting all classes of business. When
we consider the manifold advan-
tages to be derived from a men,
bershiP in this fratcrnal order, it
is no wonder that so many men
join it. Besides the benefit certifi-
cate the order has many benef-
cent purposes which should induce
single as we'll as married men to be-
come members. Some of the prime
objects of the order are: ''to give
all possible moral and material aid
in it's power to its members, and
those depending on its members, by
holding moral, instructive lectures,
by encouraging each other in bust
ness, and by assisting each other to
obtain employment" Since the
organization of this lodge three of its
members died, their families re-
ceiving each $4,000, while the fees
paid by the three members amounted
to only $2o6 The present men,

D. ]. Searcy and Grand Treasurer
Ed Denekamp, of the grand lodge,
came from New Orleans to install
the oficers-elect. The ceremonies
of installation were very impressive
and interesting and were witnessed
by number of people. Grand Die
tator Dyer, who presided over the
meeting, delivered very interesting
address and spoke in a matter-of-
fact way. He was followed by Past
Dictator D. T. WE'LL, who told in an
eloquent manner of the many reasons
why thoughtful and prudent men
should join the K. of H. The next
speaker was Judge A. G. Allen, who
was called upon for speech. The
judge was at his best and treated
the members and guests to one Of
those able and eloquent addresses
for which he is known. AT the re-
quest Of Grand Dictator Dyer, Judge
Debaillon, of the local lodge, adj
dressed the meeting. AS usual, the
Judge was brief and to the poirt
and, we dare say, his remarks were
fruitful of good results. DR.. Ora
ham, a prominent member Of La
| fayette lodge and also an officer in
the grand lodge. was called upon to
speak and delivered a short but cf
fective address. At tie conclusion
of the speeches the grand dictator
announced that the meeting had
| come to an end. and the guests
were invited to repair to the lower
floor Of Fa1k's opera house, where a
banquet would be served. Tie re
past was an excellent one; everything
on the table, including the wine, was
of the best. All the participants
being in a happy state of mind good
cheer prevailed throughout. Toasts
were responded to by Messrs. Chas.
! D. Caffery, Judge Allen, E. F. Dyer,
D. J. Searcy and Ralph Elliott. 1t
was late in the night when the ban
quet ended.
