Albert Haywood, the popular
young comedian appeared in Falk's
Opera House last Saturday night.
Mr.. Haywood had never played in
Lafayette and was not known by
our people, and for these reasons the
audience was not as large as his cx-

Mr.. Haywood is supported by
strong company and his show was
one of the best that has visited
Lafayette for some time. We un
derstand that 1t is his intention to
return here and it is to be hoped
that he will. Now that the people
know him they will doubtless show
their appreciation of his merits.

Charles Devoe, an old and expe-
rienced engineer on the Southern
Pacific and we'll and favorably
known in Lafayette, had his arm
badly broken in an accident which
happened at Raceland few days
ago. 1t appears that his train ran
into the rear car of cane train
which had been switched into a
siding to clear the main track for
the passenger. The railroad en-
ployes had incorrectly guaged the
distance of the last car from the
main track, and the rear car pro-
jected just enough to encounter the
engine of the passenger and the en-
gineer was caught in the debris
with the result stated above.

Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb and her

Wednesday and Thursday at the
Opera House and played to good
houses each time. The entertain
ment was very interesting and novel.
The little people made quite cre,l-

siderable histrionic ability. The
performance was worth the price of
admission and was fully up to eS-
pectation, with the exception Of the
Prestigi,ator and funny man, whose
tricks were hoary with age and
VIII ose jokes tottered with years. He
told worin-eaten chesnuts with adj
mirable nerve. But let's not be too
hard on the funny man; he did his
best and was quite conical an |
made everybody laugh. -

HAS BEEN A SICK MAN.
Frank Cooper Laid Low With
Second Visit of Panama Fever.

Frank Cooper, formerly senior
foreman in the fire department, is
able to move about little after a
siege Of FIVE weeks. Mr.. Cooper
has been a very sick man. He
was handling an engine on the
Oahu railway and one evening felt
the Panama fever returning. He
was brought home with all posi-
BILE haste and for some days was
unconscious. Several times he
was very close to deaths door.
When Mr.. Cooper was stricken
in Panama he was packed in ice
thirteen hours. That was the ap-
proved method of treatment
there. The theory was that the
fever germs should be chilled to
death. A few of the patients sur
vived this course. Mr. Cooper was
in the ice until animation was sus-
pended. 1t was several days be-
fore he was really alive again. The
Spanish physician decided that
the germs were all dead, and
Frank was ordered north. Rather
than take any chances on being
again packed in ice he left a good
Government position and returned
to San Francisco. The treatment
this time was slightly different
and Mr.. Cooper will be himself
again in a few weeks.

A rather impertinent scientist has
discovered that the only instances in
which he finds correct dates given by
women in regard to their ages Ia when
they are under rs or over e5. Az
these periods Of life, according to this
Frenchman, they may be trusted. He
is court officer, and his evidence 10
deduced from experience with female
prisoners. Such, he asserts, invariably
give their ages as 30, so, 40 or 80, and
on these premises he works out the
conclusion thata woman wants to keep
in the decade behind her actual age
period. but through Q lingering sense
Of honesty keeps Is near the line -
