over two hundred yards.
The last race was the single scull
amateur senior race, in which
there were but two starters, Fred.
Gastrich and Fred. Koenig, Of St
Louis. Zio Benachi, Of New Or
leans, was expected to enter against
them but declined, alleging that
the st. Louis men were profession.

Avenue A and Sixty-eighth street
today, spread over four blocks, be-
tween Sixty-seventh and Seventy

control. Fifty horses were burned
to death, aud a number of persons
were injured On the north side of
9th street flimsy lot of buildings
fell so fast around the engine sta
toned in the street, the firemen

SERMON AT SUPPER.
to a Bride and Groom at
Their Wedding,

At recent local wedding, in re-
sponse' to the calls of the groom
and guests well-known citizen
arose and said:
~ have peculiar pleasure In re-
spending to your calls, though 1
came here to participate in your
festivities and not to speak-for
1 have long known the parents of
the bride and groom. 1 too have
known we'll the groom and known
him to be in every way es-
timable, and though not so we'll
acquainted with the bride l real
ize that she is as good as she is
fair and more so. Now this mar
riage business is a very funny
thing. Every bridegroom thinks
that his bride is an angel, and /
would not be at all surprised
that bye and bye the groom will be
looking around for the brides
wings. He won't find them for
they are not there. All he will
find is a good, true, loving woman.
That's all man wants, all he has
a right to expect on this mundane
sphere. This "angel business" is
all very we'll in romance and poet
ry, but it has no home in the mat
ter of fact prose of every day life
and naturally too, for a man would
rather see good woman in his
home than all the angels fitting
around with becoming beatitude."
Naturally too the bride thinks
that her husband is king among
men, and in fact God. But she
will find out that he is not. He is
simply man with all mans pas
sions, faults and feelings. The
sooner man and wife get to realize
this, and are prepared to give and
take, bear and forbear, and in fact
be loving and faithful man and
woman, the happier will they be
and the closer and dearer will that
union be that tends to make a
happy married life. Pm telling
you facts, the solid truth, for /
have been there long and know
how it is myself.
"In conclusion, / offer you a
toast to the bride and groom. May
they live long, and initiate their
estimable parents. In so doing,
they will not only win the esteem
of their friends, but will enjoy that
happiness that true marriage
ever affords. Life opens pleasantly
for them both, now. They have
friendship, love, flowers and fes-
tivities. May it ever be thus,
but storm may arise, and circum-
stance o'ershadow. In such in
stances, remember it takes two
to make a quarrel. If one is angry,
let the other be meek, bear and for
bear, for such storms and shadows
are evanescent, and must pass
away in the light of true marital
love. Let's now drink to the health
and happiness of the bride and
groom"
In such counsel there is wisdom,
and rightly followed, it will secure
happiness in any home.

LOUISIANA POLITICS.
Democratic Caucus Selects Senate

Democratic Caucus Selects Senator.
NEW ORLEANS, La, May l6.-By
action of the Democratic caucus at
Baton Rouge last night Newton G..
Blanchard was virtually elected to
fill the unexpired term of eX-Sena-
tor Edward Douglass White, end
ing March 3, 1897. This result, so
unexpected, even up to Monday, the
day the legislature assembled, was
primarily due to the withdrawal
of Congressman Price from the
contest for Whites vacancy on
Monday. Price, who is a rela-
tive and staunch friend and adj
mirer Of Sen. Gallery, was induced
to withdraw by Caffery's friends,
for fear of endangering the latter's
election to the Gibson vacancy.
With Prices candidacy out OF the
way, the sugar interest flocked to
Blanchard, in preference to Boat
ner. This, with the continued and
active support of both the state
and city administrations, was too
much for Congressman Boatner to
battle against and he withdrew
from the struggle Monday night,
thus leaving clear field to Blan-
chard, who was formally nominal
ed in a Democratic caucus last
night. The caucus also nominated
Senator Gallery, for the unex-
pired term of the late Senator Glib
son, ending March 3, 1895.
