pIrRLIC PROTEST
Of Citizens Of Caldwell Parish

CALDWELL P ARIsH, La, }
i, March 18th, 1894.}
We, the undersigned citizens
and taxpayers of Caldwell Parish,
La, herein protest against the
action of the Police Jury Of this
Parish in authorizing a ten thou
sand dollar courthouse to be built
tor the parish, by levying a tax
on property holders thereof, with
out first consulting said taxpay-
ers as to building such an expen-
sive courthouse, under the i'm
poverished condition of the peo-
pie brought aboutby short crops,
overdows and low prices of cot
ton, obtained the past few years.
And more particularly do we
protest against the action Of your
building committee, created by
your honorable body, in making
a contract for the building of
said courthouse, with any Ter
son, or persons, without first1d
yertising plans, and specifca-
tons, to the lowest Responsible
bidder for said building, thus Civ
ing free competition, aud giving
our own citizens, as we1ras
others, an opportunity to bid on
same.
Now, therefore, unless this con-
tract, which we understand is
made, be cancelled and set aside,
or a public mass meeting ofciti-
zens and taxpayers be convened
to obtain their opinion and
wishes as to the building of such
an expensive courthouse, We
hereby give notice to the Police
Jury, and all others herein con-
cerned, that we shall resist the
enforcement of the payment of
any such increased taxation upon
any or all such taxable property
that may be or is liable to tax
alton under the laws of our State.
We, the undersigned citizens
and taxpayers, sincerely think
that a five thousand dollar build
ing for a courthouse, under all
the circumstances, giving to the
contractor the material Of the
present, or old courthouse, would
be quite sufficient to warrant the
building of an adequate court
house.

THAT MUTUAL SVINDLB
Twenty-Five Cases Against
Roper in Hoboken A
Woman's Experience.

OutSlQe Oh Tue large number OA cases TO
ported in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS showing
the extent of the Mutual Building and Land
Syndicate's swindling operations, a Hoboken
lawyer of distinction has twenty-five cases,
in each Of which the bunco-steering pro-
c~livities of the syndicate gang at No. Al
Montgomery street are completely exposed
This morning a was issued by
Messrs. Van Wrinkle Il Klink, lawyers in the
Fuller Building, which adds another to the
long line OF; people fieeced by the concern.
Sometime in September last Mrs Eliza
lots at Atlantic Highlands, desired to build
ON one of the lots. She consulted a Mr..
Cook. local agent of the precious syndicate,
and who, by the way, now denounces the
fraudulent transaction of the company.
During the course of conversation, she
says, Mr.. Cook told her that if she would
subscribe forty shares of stock i'll the syndi-
cate, pay FLO down and SO for appraiser
fees, she could secure a loan of $4,000 within,
at most, four months. The loan would be IN
three installments.

namely, four months.
Mr.. Roper sent down as appraiser a clerk
in the ~syndicate's office, one Gilbert, who
occasionally plays the role of the mysterious
Rosenthal whose action are always promptly
repudiated by Mr.. Roper after receiving the
victims cash. Mr.. Gilbert, in the presence
Of Mrs. Collins. and two friends, said that
the security was all right and expressed
surprise that the building had not already
been commenced. Such a nice gentleman
was this Mr.. Gilbert, said such pretty things
to the ladies and such sweet remarks about
Mr. Roper and the syndicate. The latter,
he said, was an honorable man, he was, and
would instantly.send the $4,000.
WYATT o YoUR TURN"
Completely gulled by the smooth spoken
agent, Mrs. Collins paid the fees, and sent
Mr.. Roper the checb; for Sl10. TIL four
months passed by, but no 1000 came. Mrs.
Collins wrote to Mr.. Roper, but that indivi-
dual returned the stereotyped reply, "Wait
until your turn comes, there are about a few
hundred thousand ahead of you"
Enraged at the trick, Mrs. Collins demand
ed the return of the money paid, but any
thing which tumbles who the avaricious
NAV of the Mutual Syndicate never cvmes
back. and hence present suit to recover.
1t will be heard before Judge Puster at
the end of the month";

The bartender had stepped outside for a

Mr.. Coyle caught hold Of him and held

gether they searched him and found in his
coat nearly seventy-fiye tirst-class cigars.
AT the station house he delivered up over
$3.50. The Assemblynlan then paid a visit to
Quarinlello's residence. and after a thorough
search of the premises found nearly $50

before, and it was only by good luck he
caught him when he did.

ORIGIN oF SANDWICHES.

The thousands who have eaten and rel
ished the popular sham sandwich have not
stopped to think that the name sandwich
had an origin aristocratic in its way. Mr..
Alonzo p. Margraf says, in the st. Louis
Glo6e-Democfdt 1.-THE Earl of Sandwich, a
prominent English nobleman of the last cent
ury, was a notorious gambler, having such a
passion for this sport that he would not leave
the gaming table, even for his meals, but
satisfied his hunger with slices of bread and
meat, which he carried with him in a little
basket whenever he started from home to
visit the gaming halls. This practice finally
became so well known that lunches prepared
in that way We're called sandwiches"

Trip to Break a Record
Matthie and Treager of the Castle Point
Cyclers who started at midnight for a round
trip to Philadelphia, and accomplish it in
sixteen hours, are not expected home on
schedule time. Many of their club mates
will go to the rooms to give the plucky rid
ers a grand welcome should they arrive on
time. If4S predicted that the riders will
make ths% tsng journey and cut down the
best time, e
Tn Hudson County Wheelmen will meet
tomorrow night at the clubhouse on Bel
mont avenue.
The handicap races of the Catholic Club
Cyclers onLabor Day will be one and ten
miles.
Greenville Wheelmen will have a run on
Saturday to New Dorp. s. l.
The closing day of the Diamond Bicycle
Races at Steubenville was a success. R. E.
Goethe of Cleveland rode an exhibition half
mile in LOO 3-5, and G.. A. Banker of Pitts
burg rode an exhibition quarter mile in
O:30.
The Asbury Park Wheelmen are confident
that their two days meet august 10 and III
will prove to be the best ever held at
Founder Bradley's Summer City. A fine
lot of entries has already been received, and
doubtless the competitions will be close and
spirited. George c. Smith will attempt to
lower Zimmerman's track record of 1:07 for
the half mile. Fred Royce, the Paterson
crack, who holds the quarter-mile worlds
record, will be among the competitors.
Among the men who have signified their in
tention of trying for the Class B prizes are
Harry Maddox, 0. S. Brandt, II. r. Steene
son, j.. G. Silvie, w. H. MulIiken and C. H.
Ganse. F. P. Prial has been selected to act
as referee.
Provisions for the trip to the Denver meet
are excellent for cyclists in this section. A
special train will leave this city on August 8
and arrive in Denver in ample time for the
tourists to get settled before the races be-
gin. Special inducements in the matter of
rates are to be offered by the Denver hotels.
The annual Buffalo-Pittsburg road race
will be started from the former city on
August "A. The time limit will be twenty
six hours, and any one who desires can
enter. All those who finish within the time
limits will receive gold medals.
1t was very noticeable at the meet of the

that mole but the officials whose duty called
them there were gathered about the finish.
This is as it should be.
The Castle Point Cyclers of Hoboken have
arranged an attractive schedule of road runs
for the remainder of the season. Next Sun
day they go to Vest Orange. and a week
later Tarrytown win be the destination OF a
large party.
