We reproduce from the Times OF

Mrs. Frances r.. Haswln of the Sill
YER King Dramatic Company.
We do this with no Intention of sid.
ing with either party in an insiplen'
controversy, nor with the view OF in
ducing either to reluctantly engage
in one. As far as Mr.. }. 7. Patton
is concerned. his well-known Chris
tian piety and devotion to the cause
of Christ have long since induced oul
people to put the proper construction
on his act, believing if he committed
an error, which we are not prepared
to declare, 1t was one of the head en-
tirely; especially when it is know
that he never intended to make hi:
report public. but to hand it written
to Sid williams, for his eyes alone.
Our object in presenting this to gu
readers is to show that there Is a
elevated stage; thst there is q pur
daama, with players who have. re
spsct forthe higher life. This letss
proves it. Its tone. is soft, the spir'
Christian-like, the demesnor OF th
kind which wins for. the author n

The hest sugar people, or at least
enough Of them to mako a test case,
have entered snit in the u. S. Court
of Claims for the amount of bounty
due on the crop which was partly
converted into sugar when the boun-
ty law was repealed. Tue defense to
of the government, according Attor-
ney General Olney, will rest almost
entirely upon the claim that. Con-
gress had no constitutional right to
grant bounties or to make bargains
for such q purpose with individual.
That may or may not be good con.
stitutional law, but it does not strike
an ordinary man as good com non
sense. 1t the encouragement be-
lieved the bounty law to be unconsti.

Temperance Lectures.

This week has been rare one u
Shreveport in the way OF intellectual
entertainments on the temperance
question: For three nights, "ednes-
dav. Thursday and Friday, were the
people of our town most glorloosly
feasted on food for the mind, heart ana
sou] The caterer was Hon. Luther
Benson. of Indiana, and he is man
we'll up in the art OF his profession
Mr., Benson is an orator who has an
illimitable fund of pathos, humor and
logic. which he dispenses in manner
which is pleasing, animating' exhllar-
ating. edifving. He is an orator on
plane with the foremost men of our
day and when to these we add an expe-
rience which is fraught with shadow,
sorrow and misery caused by drink it
should not be wondered at that he IS
success as temperance lecturer.
AS he tells it, no one Has suffered
more than he from the effects OF the
accursed drink, no one has drunk
deeper from the cup of misery and woe
than he: none more fully appreciated
the utter abandonment of the outcast.
It would dim the eyes of O. sphinx to
hear him tell of what he has injured
from the habit of drink.
Experience is the teacher which is
> truly instructive, it is the task-masteI
which makes men truly humane, ano
teaches them to pity the fallen and te
encourage both them and the weak
. He knows what it is to be f0rsaken o..
the world, and so deeply has he wal
lowed in the mire of degradation, tina
his pity for the slaves of drink forbld

from the Christians standpoint AM
without abuse of the liquor dealer, tell
+ his audience OF the folly of indulgin!
j. in it's use and the absolute, certal
& wreck which follow its practice.
No man. no women, no human crea

10 misery, woe which he depicts, as sur
result of the indulgence of drink. is to

vi 1t is indeed treat to bear NJ
Benson; a treat that we seldom hay
the pleasure of INDUCING in.
re He is an earnest Christian, full
al love for humanity aud frequently in til
KS course of his lecture sends forth prais'
to God for His goodness to him;
our Savior for rescuing him from tt

Etiquette of Introduction.

In point of precedence in presenting
there is none, only the younger woman te
the older, and man to a woman, pro
fessional man always by his title. The
woman in her own home should always
shake hands when guest is presented
men should shake each others hands. The
southern fashion of woman extending
her right hand to man is charming. II
is now carried out to some extent in New
York.
At ball the introductions should be
distinctly formal. Handshaking is not
correct, and here again common sense
comes in, for it is most awkward for q
woman to place flowers and fan whilt
shaking hands.
No man, when presented to woman al
a dance, should fail in asking for her card
His introduction means dance
