 CoRBETT's MANSION. new financial plank into tho pugilistic platform. The result is that Curbctt has saved a large part of the $10O, 900 he Is believed to have made since his career in the ring began.
 Ono evidence of his wealth is the S23,- 900 mansion he bought not long ago in New York and gave to his wifo as a birth day present. He has also spcnt about SlO,- poo in furnishing and decorating, making his total outlay for a homo about S3S, 900. The residence Is n three story brownstope front, and its number is lI6 West Eighty eighth street. The broad hall has pol ished oak floor covered with dainty Turk ish rugs, and the imposing staircase IS also of carved oak. At the rear of tho hall Is the dining room, with its polished oak table and sideboard, its leather upholster- ed oak chairs and its glcaming china and cut glass.
 On the second floor Is Mrs. Corbctt's boudoir, which Is finished in blue. Back of this apartment is the Turkish room. which Is the feature of the house. As Its name implies, 1t is O model of oriental lux uriousness. Tho bathroom Is another fes- turo. It has a floor of glazed white tilo and big porcelain tub with silver plated trimmings. Corbctt, who is great bo- liever in the health giving virtues of cold water, takes dip in tho tub every morn- ing and says his bathroom Is the finest he has ever seen. There is billiard room in the basement and a gymnasium in the cellar. Corbett also owns real estate valued at sS3, 900. has paid off 5000 mortgage on his fathers house in San Francisco, and is a member of the pros porous theatrical firm of Corbott & Brady. His now residence Is tho finest cvcr owned by pugilist. The champion is not so great a singer as he is pugilist and money saver. His wifo says that when sho plays the piano in tho Turkish room Jim gets tho words of the songs all right, but betrays a weakness for singing everything to tho same tune.

Funny time of year to mark down winter garments isn't it! Most people would mark them up, but that's not our way of doing business. But here's just the situation. We found we carried over q good many Winter Garments from last season and while the styles are not quite the same as this years there's not so much dlf- ference after all except in the price, and here's what we have got to say right in a nut shell.
 25 Garments in ladies and misses, were $1.50 to $l4 each. Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, $l.9s
 90 Garments in ladies and misses, price from $7.50 to SIP. Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. $2.9S.
 This is only for a little while. If you can get your size you will make more money than you can any other way, but don't wait until afternoon, come in the morning. They will not go on sale until 9 o'clock.

Victory For tn. Ant,-vaeeina Ioni.t..


 The board of education of New Britain held an important meeting Saturday. at which it was unanimously voted to allow all children, whether having been vacci- mated or not, to enter school at the open ing of the fall term to- morrow. Some time ago the board voted not to allow any child to attend any of the public schools unless they had been vaccinated and had a doctors certificate to that effect. The characterization contingent, of which there is large number in New Britain. did not like this resolution and immedi- ately organized and prepared to defeat it. Consequently the anti element attended a recent town meeting in full force and had everything its own way. They passed resolutions appointing committee to em- ploy legal talent, raising committee to wait on the board of education and several other measures in their interest. This action of the board of education rather checkmates the antis and so they will probably drop the whole matter for the present at least.

Mr.. Gabe Coulon who has been
spending months vacation among
his relatives and friends in Thibo-
daux, returned to Washington D. c.,
on last Monday to continue his posi-
ton as assistant post master of the
House OF Representatives in Congress.
Mr.. Coulon is 2 very bright and intelli
gent young man, and his short t in
Washington has improved him won
derfully. His father, Mr.. II. n. Cou
Ion of Thibodaux, has every reason to
feel proud of such a son. A few

Coulon to fight the battles of life. We
wish him a brilliant and successful
career.

The Chicago Inter Ocean seems to
be alarmed. because there are quite u
number Of Republicans in and out of
the Legislature who favor the election
of a low tariff Republican to the Uni
ted States Senate from Illinois, and
Mr.. Joseph Medill, the editor of the
Chicago Tribune, is their choice, and
they will support him. TIE Inter
Ocean says:
sit is to be regretted that some who
ought to be good Republicans give
encouragement to the low tariff idea
that the Democratic papers are now
rushing to the front. 1t is a pity that
it is so, but thus it always has been
that. after every great victory for
ideas or principles, some weak broth
ers among the victors have been found
ready to benevOlently give away to the
enemy all the advantages OF the situa-
ton"
The Democratic party was thwarted
in the work it desired to do by the OPP
position Of high tariff Democrats such
as German, Brice and Smith. and it
would be nothing more than fair for
the G. 0. P. to have some trouble
with low tariff Republicans. and it is
quite likely that it will, if an attempt
is made to re enact the discredited
Mckinley bill. Mr.. Medill is not the
only low tariff Republican who is
likely to cause tronble, but there is
Reed, Allison and Sherman, who have
repudiated Mckinleyism ard all the
high tariff ideas that it implies. We
venture the prediction that before the
new Congress convenes in December,
1895, the American people will have a
full appreciation of the benefits which
accrue to them from a low tariff, and
Mckinley will find himself a very
, lonely man in his own party. His de.
termination to cling to his high tariff
bill has already made him a presiden-
tial impossibility.

Here ia u nut fol-, cur Prntecrinnist
friends to. crack. Consul. Wiley, at
Bordeaux. France. in ,rstnrting to orr
government the fact of the decline in
the foreign trade of. France, ascribrs
the decline to various causes, one
of which was, that the nation two
ago increased the duty on nearly all i'm.
pOrtations. whether raw or manufac-
tured, and to use the language of the
consul on this point las goods, to
employ an old aphorism, are paid for
with goods, either directly or Indirect
lly, France may explain the decrease of
her exports by the application of that
theory In other words, t,,e high
tariff. imposed by the Protectionists
OF France to protect their m%anufactu-
rers, and increase the prosperity of
the country has had the opposite
effect of diverting trade from that
country. France is suffering from a
depression, similar to the one that has
prevailed in this country, since the
Mckinley Bill went into operation,
and from a similar cause. as we have
1t on the testimony of one of the Off
clal agents of our Government. A
high protective tariff does not seem to
Increase importations either in France
or the United States. Let our suga
planter friends who are clamoring for
a high tariff on all American industries
take the above fact to heart and pom
der owe 1t very seriously.

A CHACAHOULA TRAGEDY,
RON n THEN SENDS A BULLET
THROUGH HIS OWN HEART

We clip the following from the
Houma Courier:
1t Is seldom that one maj in resent
ing an insult takes the life of another
man and before the smoke has cleared
away puts an end to his own existence.
The only instance of tins kind in the
history of this parish took place last
Monday morning in a drinking saloon
at ChacShoula station.
About 9 or 10 o'clock in the morn
ing Mr.. Edward Evans, a young man
twenty-one years of age, who has al
ways borne a good reputation, walked
into the only liquor saloon at Chaca-
houla station. In the saloon was a
white mar by the name. of John Ber-
geron, who from all accounts was
slightly under the influence Of LIQUOR.
Without any provocation apparently,
he cursed Evans applying an epithet
that has been the cause Of sending
more souls to glory Tor elsewhere)
than any other combination of words
ever coined. Young Evans repeatedly
told his fsmily that his whole nature
revolted at the idea of submitting to
such an insult. that he considered it IL
blemish on his mothers good name
that death alone could wipe out that
he would kill or try to kill any man
on earth that would apply the term to
him.
Bergeron perhaps either did not
know or did not care how deep the
shaft that he hurled would bury itself
; in the young mans nature, for when
Evans, stung to the quick by the in
suit, told him he would kill him if he
repeated it, he heeded not the warn
ing. At Il repetition of the odious ad-
jective-phrase Evans drew his pistol
and fired. The bullet passed through
Bergelon abdomen and after suffering
intensely until four o'clock Monday
evening. he expired, surrounded by
his family and friends.
The saddest and most affecting scene
in this bloody drama was yet to come.
Evans probably was not justified in
the eyes of the law in thus resenting
this insult; but in the hearts of his
fellow-men who place the preserva-
ton OF the good name of those they
love above life itself, the deed he COM
mitted would have been excused if not
justified, and there is not a jury in fair
Southland that would have sem him
to the gallows.
The shooting, however, had worked
every feeling i'll the young man to
the highest pitch. He turned from
his victim who lay stretched on the
floor of the saloon covered with blood,
and vas told by a person who was in
the saloon at the time of the tragedy,
that he had committed a foul murder
and would be hung f,r it. This wal
too much for Evans, who. before the
smoke ofhis pistol had fairly dispersed
placed the muzzle Of his weapon Owe
his own heart and pulled the trigger
Death was almost instantaneous.
Evans was the assistant sugar. maker
on Mr.. r. w. Cookies plantation OF
Chacahoula and was highly thought o
in his community. The double trag
edy caused a great deal of excitemen
on bayou Chacahoula and in othe
portions Of the parish where both par
ties have relatives and friends resid
ing.
