v enerating the Holy Tunic.

PARIS, May 14.-The festivals in
honor of the Holy Coat at Treves
are this week to be equalled by
the revival of v%eneration for the
tunic of Argenteuil, which from
time immemorial, has been looked
upon as the inner garment worn
by Christ when he was scourged at
the pillar. The relic has always
retained it's local celebrity, but the
Bishop of Versailles having re-
ferred the matter to Rome, the
Sacred Congregation Of Relics has
declared that the authenticity
Of the tunic is more than sufficient
to authorize the intense reverence
due to the accessories of the pas
sion of our Lord. The last festival
of Christendom in its honor was in
1880, when the tunic was trans
ferred to a magnificent reliquary,
presented by the Duchess de Guise.
That of this year will be honored
by the presence of several cardinals
and bishops, including prelates
from England, Ireland, and the
United States, and will last from
today until June 10.

Midnight Missionaries.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Almost any night, even after Il
o'clock, in certain quarters Of the
city, the young man out late is
likely to be accosted by a girl or
woman, not young or pretty, with
a bundle of papers under her arm,
whose salution is, "Buy a war
Cry" but whether it is bought or
not she does not fail to utter a
short and fervent appeal, telling
the man to beware of sin and de-
struction and seek the Lord. They
belong to the Salvation Army, and
take this method Of reaching some
who might otherwise be missed,
but the strange thing is that they
always take it for granted that
every man they accost is a dyed
in-the-wool and hardened sinner.
A few nights ago a very prominent
gentleman. active in religious
work and superintendent of a large
Sunday-schOol, upon coming out
of the Continental Hotel, while
waiting for a car, vas accosted by
one of the midnight h~allalujah
lassies, who told him to "1ee from
wrath and forsake his wickedness
il he expected to be saved"

TO CHOOSE T
For Louisiana-The Legislature tor
Meet Today.

Meet Today.
NEW ORLEANS, La, May IA
The Louisiana Legislature meets
in bienniel session at noon today,
for a sixty day session. The most
important business before it is the
election of two United States sena-
tors, to fill the vacancies created
by the death of Randall l.. Gibson
and the elevation of Edward
Douglass White, to the United
States Supreme bench. GIbson's
term expires OF March fourth,
ninety-five, and as there will be no
meeting of the legislature between
the adjournment of the present
session and that date, successor for
the full term for six years COM
mencing March 4, 1895, will also
be chosen at this meeting.
Whites term expires March 4,
1897. The most prominent
candidates for Gibson's term
are Senator Coffery, appointed by
Governor Foster to act until the
legislature met, and ex-senator B.
F. Jonas. For the White vacancy,
eX-Congressman and present Sem
ator Blanchard and Congressman
| CD. Boatner are candidates for Con-
gressmen, and Prev Price is also an
aspirant in the light Of a dark
horse. A large element of uncer-
tainty exists, as to the chances of
the various candidates, for several
reasons. The Farmers Alliance
has a membership Of about "a in
both Houses. They, two years ago,
refused to participate in the DEM
ocratic caucus, but voted solidly
for a pronounced Alliance man.
and this to a great extent, prevent
ed the election Of any one at that
session. 1t is not believed their
solid phalanX can be maintained
this time, but this and their indi-
| vidual preferences is to a great eX-
tent unknown. A clash is also
likely to ensue owe almost a GER
tain effort of the sugar planters and
others interested in that in
dustry, to elect only pronounced
friends Of sugar to both
vacancies. This will be stoutly re-
sisted by north Louisiana, which
is overwhelmingly in favor Of tar
if for "Revenue only" That sec
ton hasn't had a senatorship for
fifty years, and is clamorous for
one of the vacancies. Blanchard
and Boatner are both from that
section, and both voted
for the Wilson bill in the House.
1t is thought Blanchard injured
himself by telegraphing to New Or
leans, when a candidate for tenn
porary appointment by the Gov
ernor, that he would vote against
the Wilson bill in the Senate, il
sugar was not adequately protect
ed. 1t remains to be seen whether
he has overcome the feeling OF
resentment with the powerful
sugar element, inspired by his
vote for the Wilson bill, in the
Lower House. Another curious
| element in the present fight is the
| fact that if a deadlock should n
| sue and neither vacancies be filled,
Louisiana would be unrepresented
in the Upper House, the governor
of the state being unable to APP
point for the vacancy which the
Legislature had failed to fill.
