THE TRUTH.

Two or three versions Of the
matter of the arrest of Prof. s. A.
Knapp, on the charge of embezzle-
ment, have. been published by the
New Orleans papers and one or
more of the papers of this city.
We always like to see fair play,
and from one who is thoroughly
acquainted with all the facts, one
of the parties in fact who has fail
ed to receive pay for his cane
bought by the Teche Rail Road &
Sugar Co., we have gathered the
following information, which we
give in his own language.
"On June 22nd Mr.. David Rees
Sheriff of st. Martins Parish came
to Lake Charles with a warrant
for the arrest of Prof. S. A. Knapp
on charges of embezzlement,
sworn out by one A. 81. Guilbeau,
before A. A. Dupre, Justice of the
Peace. This matter having be-
come public property 1 have made
some Investigation of the facts
and find tbst the charge of
embezzlement and converting to
his own use the money Of the crop
of cane of three planters of that
parish. Inquiry developes the
fact that these crops of cane were
purchased by the Teche Rail Road
& Sugar Co., Limited and that on
account of the subsequent failure
of that company the cane was not
paid for, although these parties
did receive some money. Those
who have any knowledge Of the
facts bear Prof. Knapp out in the
statement that the failure was
through no fault of his. Prof.
Knapp is now absent on a plea
sure trip through Mississippi and
Tennessee, with Mrs. Knapp. He
has been wired and will return. It
is the opinion of those acquainted
with the history of the entire
affair, that the warrant is actuated
by a spirit of spite and revenge
which has been the spirit of GER
tain men in that section against
Prof. Knapp ever since the failure
of the company.

1t is Now a Law.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-At IL
o'clock last night the Mckinley tariff
law, which had been in operation
since Oct. 80, 1890, practically four
years, died on the statute books and
the new Democratic tariff bill, pass
ed by the Fiftythird congress, be-
came law without signature OF
President Cleveland. The constitu-
tional period of 10 days allowed the
president to consider the bill, expir-
ed with the midnight hour, and ac-
cording to the terms of the constitu-
ton, the president having failed to
return the bill to congress with or
without his approval, it became a
law.
The placing of the bill upon the
statue books ended one of the long
est and most remarkable struggles in
the parliamentary history of the
government. 1t was practically a
year ago that the preparation of the
new taft law was commenced. The
extraordinary session of congress
was called Aug. I, 1898, for the pur-
pose of repeating the Sherman silver
purchasing law. Two weeks later
the ways and means committee of
the house, with Mr.. Wilson of West
Vagina as chairman, was appointed
and almost Immediately the work
of framing the Democratic tariff re-
form measure began. Months were.
spent in its preparation and it was
not reported until after the holidays
during the regular session begin
ming in December. Fur three weeks
it was debated in the house, passing
that body Jan. %, by vote OF 204
to 240. seventeen house Democrats
voted against it.
The bill went to the senate, and
after beeing considered until March
20, was reported greatly changed
from the house bill. The debate
which began in the senate April 2,
lasted until July 3, when the bill
passed by vote of 80 to 81. The
crisis occurred when the bill reached
conference. On Aug. Is, the house
yielded an accepted the senate bill in
toto. Two days afterward, We'd

ANTIQUITY OF FIsAl!No.
How the Fair Cleopatra Fooled Anton
with "a Salt Fish.

How the Fair Cleopatra Fooled Antony
with Salt Fish.
Tho art of angling no doubt had its
origin in man S necessities. The earliest
record of mankind makes reference to
the taking of fish for food. There are
frequent illusions to it in the Bible
Job, in the oldest book of all, says:
"Canst thou draw out a leviathan with
a hook, or his tongue with cord which
thou lettest down? Canst thou put a
hook in his nose?" Homer, in the
''Iliad, speaks of fishing in these lines:
As bearing death in the fallacious bait,
From the bent angle sinks the leaden weight.
And it is recorded in the Odyssey:
AS when the angler, his long rod in hand,
On o projecting rock assumes his stand,
Casts to the fiery fry the baited snare,
Then filings the wriggling captives in the air,
The Romans, Greeks and other races
of early days around the Mediterranean
practiced the art of angling. Plutarch
tells of a prank played by the fair Egyp-
tian, Cleopatra, while out fishing with
Antony, "They wagered on their an
CLING, and her divers did hang salt fish
on his hook, which he with fervor drew
up"
The ruined walls of Hereulaneum an,
Pompeii abound in frescoes Of fisher
men. All along the track of history are
found traces of this gentle recreation,
showing the gradual improvement from
the hook of bone and rude equipment Of
the cave man to the elegant accessories
and belongings of the modern angler. -

DIscoMFoRTs OF ACTING.

Lack of Accommodations In the Green
room and Behind the Scenes.
The janitor has an important bearing
on the actors condition, which finds its
expression is his playing and possibly
on his nervous organization. He sup
plies the house and in most cases fur
nishes quarters for the actors such as no
self respecting slave owner would in
the old days have condemned slave to
occupy.
For the public nothing is too good.
For the actor, on the other hand, any
thing is good enough. Instead of silken
draperies, he finds only tattered cur
tain at the window, if indeed he find
a curtain at all, or even a window
which it might cover. Instead of soft,
comfortable chairs, one wooden chair
none too clean, or a chair minus back,
will be the only seat, and not infre
quently, if he wishes to sit down, he
must do so on his trunk. Instead of
delicately tinted walls, he will find dirty
walls which have not been treated even
to coat of whitewash for years. While
in the auditorium soft carpet covers
the floor, in the actors room a carpet
rarely exists, or, if by chance there be
something which once was a carpet, it
is so dirty that it would be better away
The washing appliances of the actors
room, if they.are found at all, usually
consist Of a small basin with tap Of
running water. Most people would ex-
pect that, as the winter is the theatrical
season and the paints used by the ac-
tors are made with grease, hot water
would be at hand. But this is rarely
the case, and in many instances running
water in the dressing rooms is unknown.
1t is not uncommon for actors to refrain
from using the basins, preferring to re-
move the makeup as we'll as possible
with vaseline and to wait until the
hotel is reached to complete this portion
of the toilet Tin basins and buckets are
not the worst that have seen ION the
road" for once the water was in dirty,
battered, old lard tins, and basins had
to be bought by our manager Forum.
