GIimpses of Railroad Life.

"a Railroad Ticket" is a farce comedy In
the broa dest sense of the term. Its presenta-
ton at the California Theater this past week so
proves. There are numerous productions
which, in some inexplicable manner, find their
way upon the Stage, and which are neither
farce nor comedy. They possess the essential
elements Of neither, and are termed farce
comedies because there is no other name for
them. "a Railroad Ticket" is a refreshing ex-
ception to this class. Ii is full of funny situa-
lions aud iudicrouS scenes, and is entertaining
throughout. Ringing on The trials and tribula-
tions or a ticket brot er, vino makes I'D in

The Falk h Guchereau Brick.
Yard.

Monday evening representative
of this paper was driven to the
brick yard of Messrs. Falk&Guche
reau and was surprised to see the
large number of people busy max
ing bricks. Many people may
not be aware of the fact that this
industry is and has been one of. the
most successful enterprises in
Lafayette as we'll as one of the
most profitable. Its success can
be attributed to the strict business
way in which it is managed and to
the superior quality of bricks manu-
featured. Mr.. Guchereau, who
supervises the work, is a frst-class
brick-maker of several years. ex
perience, both in this country and
in France and it is safe to say that
no brick is allowed to go out from
his manufacture without the stamp
of perfection. 1t is really surpris-
ing to see with what rapidity dry
dirt is ground, passed through a
mould and pressed into a we'll
formed brick, ready to be put in
the kiln to be hardened or burnt.
5000 to 10000 bricks are moulded
every day. and this with the help
of only twelve hands. The weight
of the bricks averages six and a
half pounds.
MI. Falk informed The Gazette
that he makes shipments almost
daily, to the adjoining parishes and
that his trade is constantly increas-
ing. In The next kim which will
be burnt in a few days, there are
10000 bricks, a number of which
are already sold.
One of the Mr.. Falk's trusted
employers is Mr.. Stanislaus Har-
devont very reliable gentleman,
who attends to the engine.

NOn.Sectarian Bill.

Baton Rouge Correspondent N. O. States
If Mr.. Mouton, of Lafayette
pushes the bill which he has in
troduced with reference to paro-
chial schools, and he tells me he
will urge it with all the energy of
which he is capable, that measure
will attract not a small measure of
public attention. If the Bill passes
it will forestall any effort that
might be made in the future to have
part of the public POUNDS appro-
priated to the maintenance of the
schools of a religious character in
Louisiana.
The bill was introduced yester-
day and is brief but emphatic in the
provisions. 1t prohibits school
boards of the State from combining
the public schools with any private
or other institution of learning
under the control or management
of any church or religious order of
any sect or denomination, and to
p1 ohibit them from employing, as
professors or teachers in the public
schools, any preacher. priest or
other minister of religion, while in
the actual service of any church or
religious order as a teacher or min
lister of religion. The title of the
bill is quoted above, and its pro-
visions are fully set forth in the
title. The bill will come up to-day
on second reading for reference to
committee.
Mr.. Mouton is a Catholic, but to
those who are familiar with the re-
ligious questions of the day it will
be evident that the act has special
reference to the faith of which the
Lafayette representative is COM
municant. In other states and
cities, and notably in Pittsburg,
there have been controversies dis
cussed at length in the public prints
growing out of the appropriation of
funds for the maintenance of re-
ligious schools and the employment
of teachers wearing the habit of
some religious order. The famous
Fairbault plan of Archbishop
Ireland grew out of an arrangement
| between the lay authorities whereby
| relation was established beteen
the public and parochial schools.
Mr.. Mouton's act is intended not
only to abrogate alleged similar ar
rangements in certain parishes in
this State, but to prevent any such
| arrangements in the future.
MIR. Mouton's people have been
Catholics for century but he says
they have always been liberal
/ minded and that he believes the en-
ac:ment of his bill into a law would
have tendency to maintain peace
between church and state. Mr..
Mouton is or was the president of
the school board of Lafayette, and
in three years established a large
number Of excellent schools in his
; parish. He wants these schools
operated with absolute freedom
from religious interference. The
bill is a rather bold one and is not
likely to provoke considerable dis
cussion upon the floor of the House
whe en- it comes back from the com
mittee and is ready for enrolment
and passage to third reading.
Mr.. Mouton's bill has been re-
ported favorably by the COMMITTEES
,n education.

Two Days of Pleasure.
The good sisters of the Mount
Carmel Convent are making exten-
sive preparations to give a fair
during two days next month.
There will also be entertainments
in the spacious hall erected last
year for that purpose. The pro-
grams are very interesting and it
is safe to say that the convent
girls will sustain the reputation of
this splendid school. The people
of Lafayette are proud of this
great institution of learning and
they will, no doubt, show their ap-
probation of its merit by attending
the fair and entertain ments next
month.

From Our Regular Correspondents
The majority of the voters of
this parish favor a repeal of the
Sunday Law. That law, by its I'M
popularity has been openly and
publicly violated from the very
beginning. The time has arrived
when the Sunday law should be
made. null and void; seven-eights of
the people of the state are in direct
opposition to it; and further more,
no jury could be found that would
convict a violator of the Sunday
law. 1t is to be hoped that the
Legislature will act accordingly,

THE REFResHMENT QUESTION.

Eating Between Meals Like q Parcel OF
Greedy School Children.
When shall we 'leave comfits to
slaves" and not find when we make aft
ernoon calls or go to evening receptions
that our hostess has provided tea or cof-
fee, cakes or cream as a stop gap to con-
versation? IF we attend a ball and dance
all night, exhausted nature demands a
substantial repast as sort of half way
house in the middle of our exertions,
and the ball supper is an unassailable
institution founded ON the rock of COM
mon humanity; also, if we are invited
to a luncheon or dinner, we go on the ex-
press understanding that we are to eat
and drink if not be merry, and it Is
only just that we carry out the contract.
But when we make calls we have had
luncheon, and it is not yet time for din
ner, and when we go to evening Eat
homes" we have had dinner, and it is
not yet time for breakfast. Why do we
spoil our gloves and spot our gowns in
the attempt to eat standing or from the
improvised table Of our knees g. name
less and misplaced meal that we do not
want, and that it is an unnecessary
trouble for our hostess to prepare? We
scatter crumbs on ourselves, our neigh
bors and the carpets; we spill chocolate
on the piano and the books in spite of
ourselves, and in our turn we likewise
offer up on the altar of society sacrifice
| of sandwichessand coffee. Can it be that
when we are gathered together for So
| cial purposes the mental pabulum is SC
| thin that we are compelled to fall back
| ON material sustenance?
We are as careful to supply refresh
| ments for our sat home" day as if the
| guests were animals only to be lure6
into the house by the prospect of food.
| A perverted sense of hospitality is CON
verting the social world into vast res
| taurant where meals at all hours AND
| pay in kind is the regulation. There
was long time ago a rule of honor
which forbade guest to speak evil Of
| the person in whose house he had par
| taken of salt, but this law has long beer
dead letter, and entertainment ha.
become bore instead of friendly OBJ
servance. 1t is time to call a halt. Lee
Us breakfast, lunch, dine and even SUI
on occasion, but let us stop this perpet

| of greedy school children.
