The HouseWarming.

notwithstanding the very threaten
ing appearance Of the weather on last
Thursday night, there was fine turn
out of the old and young of the town
and it's circumjacent vicinity. The
splendid new public school house was
lighted up as we'll as environments
would permit The Christmas tree
was an outrageous beauty, every
branch of which was laden with prizes
for ticket holders-who listened with
eagerness to hear the numbers an
nounced. Some laughable incidents
occurred, which inspired the large au
dience with patience. Then we're the
kind and ever lovable ladies of Opelou
sas catering to therapeutics of the hun
gered attedance who readily found the
way to their savory uiands and after
prandial preparations, and ADORE these
the obliging musicians, some of them
from Grand Coteau, were seated on the
second floor, and served the graceful
young folks with appropriate music, to
which they kept time by the t,cinkling
of little feet in the most approved
style. Understand, we are not speak
ing Of the gentlemen's pedal extremi
ties, when we use the expression,
twinkling little feet.' We are con
scious in applying it to the ladies, but
must preserve our reputation for verify
when with holding it's application from
the gentlemen. The young folks had
nice time oft.
The entertainment netted about
800. 90 for the benefit of the furnish
ing fund; the door receipts we've
$64.0O, and the supper and refresh
ments about $62 co.
The services of the Grand Coteau
musicians placed oar town under obli-
cations and they have beside their re-
compense, our thanks.

Plant Fruit Trees.
Lake Charles American.

Lake Charles American.
The time for tree planting is now
here, and every one who has even
small plat of ground should plant few
fruit trees. Those who have large tracts
ly for ornament, but the man who only
has a lot or two, upon which he intends
to make home for his family, would
better devote most of his space to fruit
trees. Orange trees when properly
trained, make nice ornamental trees for
front yards, and when they are six or
seven years old will produce 1000 oran-
ges per tree, worth $15. 1t is better for
a poor man to have few such trees in
his front yard than to have umbrella
china or other merely ornamental trees.
Then pear trees present handsome ap-
pearance, especially when loaded with
their luscious fruit. By planting few
orange trees, a few pear, plum, peach
and ounce trees, the man with only
small lot of ground can soon have anice
place and plenty of choice fruit for his
family. Plant fruit trees. Plant fruit

Mr.. PESDLEToS is entitled to the
gratitude Of his party for the willing
ness he manifested to lay aside his per-
sonal preference and once more bear bis
party's standard ia the fight. For full
six months Mr.. PENDLEToN has been
determined that he would not be a can
didate for re-nOmiDatlon. he has had
enough OF public life, his private busl-
ness needed his attention and his de-
termination not to go before the con-
vention as 4 candidate had more than
once been made known TO the public.
His own earnest desire was that he
might be allowed 90 remain out Of the
fight. Aud vet we see him placing
party interests above his own anG after
long and much soliciting, consenting to
accept nomination If the party in its
wisdom demanded that be should.
There were those who considered him
the strongest candidate that could
be named, and who, in spite Of his re-
peated declaration, thought best that
he should run. Ever ready to do all ne
can for the success of the party which
had honored him with three successive
nominations for a seat in Congress, Mr..
PENDLETON yielded to the judgment
of his friends, and consented 10 accept
the nomination il his party thought
best be should take it. Bat all the
while he hoped the honor might be be-
slowed on someone else.
The party needed Mr.. PENDLEToN's
request and named another mana
man whose strength throughout the
district was so great as TO be a surprise
to those who did not know the situa-
ton. Mr.. HOWARD will bear the par
tvs standard on to victory thIsyear.
Mr.. PENDLEToN was not called on by
the convention TO make the race again,
and he is glad of it, but for his rsadi-
ness to serve in any way he could the
party which he thrice has represented,
be deserves the thanks and recognition
Of that party. Mr.. PENDLEToN was
not a candidate in the sense OF seeking
a nomination. He merely held himself
in readiness to serve his party If 1t were
demanded of him, preferring that he
should not be called upon. He will be
heard in the campaign in the interest OF
Mr.. HOWARD, and his friends will prove
TO be no warmer friends Of his than OF
our candidate and future Congressman,
JOHN A. HOWARD.

BERKELEY SPRINGS, W. VA, August
s6.-Justice Harlan is stopping al the
Berkeley Springs Hotel. His command
ing appearance draws little groups OF
attentive listeners wherever his quiet
strolls lead him. Always ready to
speak kindly words to the poor, and by
his frequent generous gifts to charita-
bic purposes. he has completely won the
hearts of all who meet him.
Another noted visitor at the famous
old hotel is Senator J. Don Cameron.
Meeting him one would not believe him

This great jurist makes his greatness
more manifest every day and estab.
fishes mis- devotion to principle more
firmly. He refused TO accept any court,
estes from the y. e. o., insisting upon
paying the usual charge of $3.50 for car
in addition to buying tickets. The viii

great man, and only expressions Of good
will are heard on all sides when he
passes.

dOubtedly be nominated at Martinsburg
tomorrow and his election is assured by

Two Men Relieved of their Spare Change
by Thieves.


by Thieves
Late Saturday night there was a pecu-
liar robbery at the foot of Twenty
seventh street at the 3. 81 o. watering
tank. Anthony Monohan, Of South
Wood street, well known potter, en-
ployed at the Warwick, was robbed OF
S4 in money, all be had, and fine gold
ring worth about $40. There are mys-
FERROUS circumstances connected with
the case.
The potter had been paid, and was
having q good time up town. lie met
man and remem berS having gotten on a
street car with him. That is all he re-
collects until he regained his senses ly-
ing beside the water tank about mid
night. The general belief is that some
one knowing he had money decoyed him
TO that lonely spot and then robbed him.
There is a cut on Monahan's head,quite
an ugly cash, which is also mystery. 1t
is generally thought that he was struck
with something.
Godfrey Webster, well known man
OF Caldwslls Run, was relieved OF some
silver last Saturday night in a peculiar
manner. He had been paid on Saturday
aud had a roll of bills, amounting to
about $50 with S. in change in MS vest
pocket
he was with party Of friends at
South Side business house in the even
ing and left his vest with the money in
q rear room. A thief gained entrance
by the back way and stole the silver.
The vest was found thrown In the back
yard, hut the paper money was not
taken. 1t is thought that the thief
heard the silver rafting, and took it,
not waiting to look for any more cash.
There is no clue to the thief.
