zens of the town who met and organ
lied for the purpose Of getting such a
bill before the Legislature, but espec-
tally are they indebted to Mr.. John &.
Ryan, who drew up the bill, and who
visited Baton Rouge twice for the pur-
pose Of interesting members in the bill.
This paper desires in the name of the
people of Alexandria, to thank him
tor his labor, and at the same time
tender sincere thanks to Senator Seip
and Representatives Meeker and Boil
. for the interest they showed in
getting this bill adopted.
"Mr. Ryan informs rs that Alexan-
dria will very probably receive from
the Police Jury $500 annually. The
Parish licenses viii be collected from
the town people as in the past, but af-
ter paying ~ proportion OF Parish
expenses, out Of the regular parish
tax and parish licenses, the balance of
the license money u~nexpended will be
turned into the town treasury by the
police Jury.
"A great many citizeLs with whom
we have conversed are of the opinion
that this fund should be used exclu-
sively to pay for a system Of water
works and electric lights for the town,
then Alexandria would own the plants,
SO that our people could enjoy these
modern improvements at something
like cost of running same.
1.-The bill has been signed by the
Governor
Like the grateful citizens of the
town of Alexandria, we also, in the
name Of the citizens of Thibodaux, re-
turn sincere thanks to Mr.. joan c.
Ryan, the Trainer of the bill, to Hon.
S. F. Meeker who fathered the bill,
to all those who directly or indirectly
aided and supported the bill, and we're
instrumental in bringing about its f.
nal passage.
The passage of this bill could not
have been reached at a more oppor-
tune time in SO far as the Town of
Thibodaux is specially concerned.
We are about to put up a waterworks
plant in our town, with the prospect
of an electric plant in the lear future.
The good round sum that is likely to
be turned annually into our town
treasury by the Police Jury from the
licenses collected within our corpo-
rate limits after deducting therefor
our proportion of Parish expenses,
will 60 far in encouraging u people
in bringing to . successful termination
the proposed waterworks; nay, to-
gether with the extra FIVE mills tax to
be levied annually for a term of ten
years, this surplus of funds to come
into the treasury from licenses collect
ed assures beyond doubt, the final suc-
cess of a waterworks system in Thibo-
daux.

AN AUTOMATIC LIGHTHOUSE.
-sorc 9z No Keeper, but The Bright Light

r-,,prc < 10 Eeerer, but the Bright Light
BIazes Perpetually.
A remarkable lighthouse is the one
which sheds its warning rays from an es-
tuary of the Gironde in France, where it
stands upon an isolated rock in the midst
of a treacherous reef. The popularity OF
this lighthouse is that it is unoccupied,
and vet it's lamp is burning perpetually.
The famous Eddystone light on the coast
of England, rising from a rock that is
only large enough to afford foundation
for the structure, is remarkable becau~9
the men having it in charge are able to
leave their confined quarters only once
in three months, when vessel comes to
them with supplies, letters, papers and
new detachment of watchers.
1t was to do away with this exactlng
and lonesome life that the French engi-
neers set themselves about the task Of
devising method by which the useful
ness of the lighthouse could be main
tanned without so much personal atten-
ton. 1t thus happened that lamp was
invented that would burn continuously
for two months without being trimmed
Or replenished.
The burning fluid used in this lamp is
an ordinary mineral oil. The tube in the
interior of the lamp is furnished with
wick having thickness three times as
great as those employed generally in
lighthouses Around the burning sur
face of the wick is cake made of pat
ented preparation consisting largely of
carbonized tar. This protection assures
the duration and the uniformity of the
flame. A chimney made of mica is
placed around the fame, and this in
sures an increase in the power of the
light. The supply of oil is assured by
means of a reservoir containing 100
quarts, the lamp consuming 80 grams
each hour. To provide always for the
reservoir being furnished with sufficient
fuel gauge is fixed at it's side that gov
ems the supply flowing in from another
reservoir at distance, and this gauge
permits just 80 grams per hour to perco-
late through the little supply pipe into
| the supply reservoir.
The diameter of the lanterns 56 inches
and it cost 81, 400. The intensity of the
light keeps equable until the expiration
of two months, when it is necessary to
visit the lighthouse and replenish the
wick. The light can be seen more than
| 70 miles at sea. The wick is cleansed
and drawn up gradually by the action
of the tar cake atits mouth The French
government is arranging to put upothers
of these houses, and it is also perfecting
an invention by which perpetual cleo
trio light can be controlled by wires run
ming through a submarine cable to the
the land.-Exchange

Where the cartridges Go.

About month ago Mr.. K. H. Will
Hams, Of Quitman, inserted a short no
tice in the Free Press to the effect that
he wanted live cartridges. All sorts
and conditions of people brought them
in until he had to cry out enough. In
that short time Mr.. Williams bought and
shipped 1000 cartridges. During that
time other parties have shipped half as
many more, and counting those shipped
previous to that time and used in town
it is probable that fully 5000 live par
tridges have been shipped out of Brooks
county in the last two months. 1t looks
like this wOnld soon thin out the Bob
Whites.

TEACHING CANARIES.
Sole Occupation of Seven Hundred Fami'
lies In Small Town of SaxOny.

Sole Occupation of Seven Hundred Fami-
lies In a Small Town of SaxOny.
In a small town called st. Andreas-
berg (Saxony) some 700 families are en-
tirely engaged in the task of rearing
and educating good canary singers. A
great proportion of these singers is sent
abroad, far or near-tO London, to Aus
tralia and to the United States, where
one single firm ships 100, 600 birds each
year. These canaries are the inferior
birds, the schreir, as they are called IN
Germany, on account of their notes.
These schreir, which are bought from
70 to 80 cents in the Harz, are sold for
So, So or 81 in America. The best birds
are kept in Germany, where they are
called hohlroller. A good hohlroller
cannot be had under So or $10-in the
Harz-and $50 and $25 are no unusual
prices. But such birds are certainly
splendid singers. The Germans have
quite number of words, each of which
applies to different sort of tune, or
information; the beulrolle is in minor
key; klingerolle applies to silver tones;
koller to warbling which reminds of
the murmur of water, gluchrolle is
similar to the nightingale's notes, and
one may say that every detail of the
canary S song has been named, and that
for every one there is standard OF per-
lection which the expert fancier knows
perfectly we'll. The song of all canaries
is not exactly similar. Each race has
its special points, and while the one is
great on beulrolle, for instance, it is
weak on gluchrolle, while the case is
reversed with another race.
OF course singing is natural feature
with canaries, but the influence of edu-
cation is considerable. The educational
curriculum begins in May for the young
canaries, and they are, as soon as posi-
BILE, separated from their parents. Ed
ucation is all in this: Keep the young
bird from hearing any but excellent
singers. Some Is or 20 young canaries
are put in one cage with an older bird,
an especially good singer, and he teaches
them the elements. They try to initiate
him, and hence comes his beneficial in
fluence. In August each of the young
birds is put in small cage and kept
in the immediate vicinity of the cage
of the teacher. At this time the fancier
tries to gather some idea of the prog
ress achieved and of the aptitude of the
different birds. The best are put in the
nearest vicinity of the teacher In or
der to prevent the young birds from
getting disturbed their cages are wrap
ped with cloth, so as to prevent them
from seeing what is going on around
them, and in order to encourage sing
ing the cages are generally shaped in
form of dome; this shape intensiies
the sound, and the birds are pleased
with their own music.-Popular Science

A Strange Case.

Jacksonville, Ca, February 11.-Miss
Genir Barrett, of this county, is posi-
tive monstrosity. Eight years ago she
was medium-sized woman, now she
weighs over 200 pounds. 1t was discov.
cred that she was being enlarged with
something like tumor She was taken
to DIR, Ernest Ham, of Gainesville, who
examined her, and thought it could be
removed, but when the incision was
made he decided that it would be fatal
to perform the operation, The poor
girl was very much disappointed and
grieved when she recovered from the eff
fleets of chloroform to find that she had
not been delivered from her burden.
She is now almost helpless and a tape
that will measure her height will not
reach around her body. She has ceased
TO suffer embarrassment on account of
her condition, and is as cheerful as a
lark.

Swedish Men and Women,

What enormous fellows and what
leviathan persons some of these Swe-
dish men and women are! Nowhere will
you see such noble specimens of adult
humanity as in Stockholm's streets.
The feature seems to pervade all classes,
though it is not least striking among the
nobility. Six feet is a common height
for man here, and really do not be-
lieve [ exaggerate in saying that men of
feet or 4 inches are as abundant in
Stockholm as men of feet with us.
The tallness of the women is just as
noteworthy. You remark it less, how
ever, because they are so we'll proper
toned. They say it is easy to tell by
the size of the boots outside the doors
which rooms of hotel are occupied by
the Swedish fair This is a very endur-
able hit at the Swedish ladies. Though
they do wear SKIES or sevens in shoe
leather, no sculptor would find fault
with them on professional grounds.
Moreover, they have most winsome
compilations, and of course blue eyes
are nowh here more intensely blue than
here.
1t is comforting to know speak on
the evidence of one of the pensionnaires
that Swedish maidens have a great
admiration for English bachelors. They
English bridegrooms. The blood bond
still exists, | suppose, between them

The Defense Secures ia Continuance Until
the May Term.
Americas, Ca, Feb. 12.-The A. b.
Hinkle case was continued by Judge
Fish this morning until the May term of
court. The state promptly announced
ready. The defense presented lengthy
plea for continuance. Among other rea-
sons set forth we're the mental and phys
ical condition of the defendant, icaused
by the recent ten days trial and convic-
ton of his father, and the present pros
trated condition of his father resulting
from the same, he being a very import
ant witness for the defendant. 1t was
also claimed that the lpresent condition
of the public mind was such that he
could not now get an impartial trial in
Sumter county.
The defense stated that they were in
clined to urge objection only to the
claim that the defendant could not get
fair trial at this time.
Judge Fish, in granting The continu-
ance, did not state that it wss granted
upon any particular part of the plea.
The next+term begins on the fourth
Monday in May.
