The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1895-03-02

Quite large number of per-
sons from this town went to New
Orleans to take in the Mardi Gras
festivities, but many could not
stand the idea of being away from
home when there was fun and
merriment in their own town, an d
returned Monday and Tuesday to
enjoy King Kommerce's parade
in the evening and the grand ball
at night. Those who remained at
home are certainly wiser, and per-
haps richer.

The People of st. Martinville
Agog with Fun and
Pleasure.

Tuesday last-Mardi Gras-was
. day of pleasure and merriment
IN st. Martinville. The Board of
Trade conceived last year the idea
Of celebrating the Mardi Gras fes-
tivities by a grand parade during
the day. followed at night by an
elegant fancy dress ball, which
proved success beyond the ex.
pectstion of the members of the
board; and had afforded our peo-
pie and the multitude who were
present on that day, unbounded
pleasure and fun. The success OF
last year was an encouragement
for the Board of Trade to again c.
lebrste the Mardi Grss festivities
by grand and gorgeous pageant,
which was pronounced by all, the
grandest display or parade ever
seen on the streets of st. Martin
vile.
The weather had been damp,
rainy and threatening a few days
before this grand pageant, and
the roads were consequently bad
and muddy, but this did not pre-
vent large crowds of people who
came from every direction; and
early in the morning the crowds
began to fill our streets and side
walks, and by the hour of the pro-
cession, one could hardly circu-
late, on account of the multitudes
who crowded our thoroughfares.
The Board of Trade aided by
the citizens of the town did all in
their power to give ease and CON-
fort to the large number of stran-
gers who came to attend and take
part in our glorious festivities.
At one o'clock in the evening a
few maskers clad in rich, beauti-
full costumes made their appear
ance on the streets, and at the
same time the mounted marshalls
were seen to gather on our main
street. The brass bands next ap-
peared and discoursed some of
their selections that drew on the
galleries and sidewalks the ladies
who came out to see all that was
to be seen, and all seemed anxious
not to miss anything.

to take place in the grand process

merce, and hlled his part very
elegantly. Mr.. Bienvenu is gen.
tleman who has always occupied a
front place in the society of this
town, and has always worked in
the interest and for the advance
ment of his native town.
MISS ANNIE GERNAUD
as Queen was very pretty and ele-
giant, she wore a lovely gown of
cream satin in court train, taste
fully trimmed with applique lace,
chiffon and pearl passementrie.
Upon her shoulder rested man
tel of silk gauze elegantly, dra-
ped in Grecian style with dia-
monds. On her brow was a crown
of dazzling brilliancy. Miss Ger
maud is the daughter of Mr.. An
DIRE Gernaud, successful mer-
chant of st. Martinville. Miss
Gernaud made a lovely Queen.
MISS EMMA DUCHAMP,
Duchesse of Attakapas was sweet
and lovely, she wore gown of
white silk trimmed with ribbon
and gauze.
MISS LAURENCE LACAZE,
Duchesse of Teche, was a picture
of beauty, she wore maize colo
red gown elegantly trimmed with
ribbon and pink moss buds.
MISS FELICIE DURAND,

elegant and graceful in a lovely
gown of white satin trimmed with
ribbons, lilies and pearls.
Mr.. Pierre Gary, was Duke of
Attakapas, Mr.. Hackett Thomas,
Duke of Teche and Mr.. George
Eastin Duke of st. Martin. These

NOTES.
The floats in this beautiful par
ade was the artistic work of Mr..
j. A. Hitter, an artist of st. Mar
vile.
This grand and successful cele-
bration was under the auspices of
the st. Martinville Board of
Trade, and Was in charge of a
committee composed of T. j. Lab
be, chairman, l.. j. Gardemal, F.
7. Guilbeau, K. Schwarty and E.
W. Bienvenu. 1t is with pleasure
we congratulate the committee on
the success they have achieved.
1t is estimated that 5000 per-
SONS were on the streets here dur.
ing the Mardi Gras celebration,
which is very large number for
a town Of this size.

and plenty; around him were SUBJ
jects representing the attributes
of Peace, Contentment, Love and
Friendship.
Here was a squard of thirty
mounted maskers in beautiful cos
tunes, and following them came
float No 5.
This float was followed by large
number of maskers who joined
the procession on its march.
This float, which was a contribu-
ton of the st. Martins Oil Works,
was q large platform on which was
an elevation which was covered
with freshly ginned cotton; on the
elevation was a red barrel with
gold hopes on which was printed
in gold letters oil over the bar
rel was a crescent on which was
grouped in white bottles, the oils
in their different grades, and in
gold letters, was the inscription
st. Martins Oil Works. This
car was the representation of in
dustry. 1t was built and de-
corated by Messrs VIM. Millot
and Adolphe Orillion, employees
of the mill.
The Loreauville Brass Band
marched before the last described
float in the procession, discouring
sweet music.
The procession after parading
our principal streets came to the
church green and formed grand
and lovely tableau. The mar
shalls and maskers under the di-
rection of Chief Marshall q. j.
Durand, made several fancy evo-
lutions around the green that was
very we'll executed and mtde a
splendid sight.
When the grand tableau was
finished, the King and his suite
were escorted to the Knights of
Pythias hall, where they prepared
themselves for the grand recep-
ton and ball at Duchamp's Hall.
At half past seven o'clock the
King and his suite entered the
hall which was packed, and mount
cd the throne which had been erec-
ted on the stage, to his right, were
the Dukes of the Teche, Attaks-
pas and st. Martin.
Mr.. Dan. w. VOORHEES, acting as
the High Chamberlain read the
proclamation of the King and
called as first Maid of honor. Miss
Emma Duchamp, who was escor-
ted by the marshall to the throne,
where she was received by the
Duke of Attskapas.
Miss Laurence Lacaze was an
nounced as the second Maid of
honor, and was also escorted by
the Marshall to the throne and
was received by the Duke of
Teche.
Miss Felicie Durand was an
nounced as the third maid of ho-
nor, attended by the marshall,
she reached the throne and was
received by the Duke of st. Martin.
The King now proclaims as his
Queen, Miss Aimee Gernaud, who
entered the hall accompanied by
two Marshslls, reached the throne
where she was gracefully received
by his majesty, seated on the
throne, she was crowned by the
King, Queen of the carnival.
When the Royal ceremonies
were over, the orchestra played a

of the train carrying the Royal
party.
At 3:45 p. m, the whistle of the
locomotive was heard in the dis
lance proclaiming with its hoarse
voice the arrival of King Kom-
merce and his suite. The excite
ment and curiosity ran high at
this moment; the cannon doomed
as the train came roaring at full
speed; music filled the air with
its sweet melodious sounds. Amid
the cheers and hurrahs the train
came to standstill and the Royal
party alighted from the cars. His
Royal highness was met by Ma
yor Fleming who in a few we'll
chosen words, handed to his Ma
jesty, the golden key of the town.
The King and his Dukes than
mounted the Royal Chariot and
the procession marched through
our principal streets. and received
the greetings of the large number
of people who anxiously awaited
the parade of the King with his
brilliant splendors.
The formation Of the procession
was in the following order.
Chief of Police Henry Beslin
and a squad of mounted police
marched ahead of the procession
to clear the way. Next came the
Excelsior Brass Band. Following
came a surry containing Mayor A.
v. Fleming who represented the
town authorities and Mr.. L. G.
Duchamp, Vice-President of the
Board of Trade, representing the
Board under whose auspices this
grand celebration was.
Next came the Kings Marshalls
who were mounted and marched
ahead of the Kings chariot. Be-
hind them where two marshalls
and the Kings chariot.
This float represented a canopy
beautifully ornamented in fresco,
palms, cut designs, gold etc. Un-
der the canopy was the throne on
which the King sat, attended by
his Dukes. He wore the kingly
crown upon his brow, that dazzle
with brilliancy; he held In his
hand the sceptre that moved the
subjects of his Kingdom. Below
the throne were emblems of COM
MERGE, science, thrift and pros
perity. This car was an artistic
beauty.
Then came twelve mounted
marshalls who followed two by
two, and float No 2.
This car reminded the people of
old st. Martinville, its days past
when the poet described its beau
ty and loneliness many years ago.
Old st. Martinville was persona

vigor, which falls in silvery drops
from the umbrella which stands

car was covered with luxuriant
flowers, and made an exquisite ia

Men and women in England vote
equally for town councils, local boards,
poor law guardians, vcstries, church
wardens and school boards For very
shame, says the president of the Inter
national uuion, extend the parliament
tary franchise, which has been granted
to every ignorant laborer and denied
not only to the honest, industrious work
ing woman, but 10 the thoughtful, edu-
Gated lady, whose gardener, coachman
and groom can record their votes before
her eyes, while she is practically out
lawed AS for the argument that wom-
on as politicians would destroy the peace
of the domestic circle, it is universally
conceded that family life is infinitely
richer and more attractive to men when
politics are not tabooed on account Of
the ignorance or Indifference of the fe
male members of the household.
In questions of intellect women have
proved themselves able to cope with
men. Let justice then be done to both.

ELECTRICAL POWER.
How Shall We Educate Our Sons For the
Electrical Profession?


We come back now to the original
question, and the only answer that can
be given is, "Give the boy the broadcast
education that his time and abilities
will permit My own belief is that
there is no better early preparation for
q professional career of any kind than
that given in the public schools of our
larger cities.
Having completed the public school
course, I would have him take the usual
academic course involved in prepare
ton for our larger colleges, giving more
attention to mathematics and less to
classics, but, if there be time, great
deal of attention to both. The object OF
this period of young mans education
is decidedly more the training Of the
mind than instruction, and for that rea-
son it matters less what the boy learns
than the habits Of thought which are
inculcated at this time.
In the study of quantitative chem
ical analysis the student is most easily
introduced into the methods of exact
science. In it he is familiarized at tho
outset with instruments OF precision,
with the niceties of manipulation which
characterize all scientific work, and he
learns to handle the atom and the mole
Guile which are the ultimate PARTICLES of
matter es the mathematician does i'm
aginary quantities and symbols. To the
analytical chemist these atoms and
molecules are as living entities as the
trees and the hills, and they are en-
lowed with individual characteristics
moro definite and more easily recognlz-
able than are the members of his own
family. The study of chemistry III it5
definite proportions is the easiest and
surest road to a rational understanding
of the physical qualities of matter up
on which the structural engineer de-
ponds for the success of his creations.
Above all should tho candidate for
electrical engineering honors be in
structed in the higher physics, for it is
the mechanism of the ether with which
the electrician has chiefly to deal, just
as it is with the var; a0 gears that the
mechanician is concerned. Electric

Cost of Living In Paris.

An able statistician has been esti-
mating the cost of living in Paris at the
present time and has compared it with
that of 40 years ago. He shows that III
the ffties an average middle class fam
lily could Go with a budget of 100000,
or e40O, annually. That did not mean
luxury, but it was sufficient for comfort
and required no economical engineering
for the purpose of making both ends
meet Nowadays the case is different,
and an official with vito and three
children dependent on 10,000f a year
has to work miracles of saving in order
80 avoid getting into debt. Accordingly
in less than half a century the condl'
tons Of life in Paris have been com
pletely modified. 1t is no exaggeration,
in fact, to say that prices have doubled,
and with them has increased the desire
for more luxurious mode of living
than that led by the average Partisan OF
the ffties. The statisticiah has revealed
nothing new, but his figures serve &c
emphasize the fact that the French cap
ital is the most expensive place of resi-
dence in Europe.-London Telegraph.
