The entertainment given by the
company composed of local talent
and for the benefit of the Jewish
cemetery was a most brilliant sue
cess and reflects great credit upon
the performers as we'll as the m ana
ger. ''Dollars and Cents" was the
title of the play and it was rendered
in a manner that would do honor
to professional performers. The
success achieved by the young la
dies and gentlemen who kindly VOL
unteered their services for this very
laudable cause, will, we hope, serve
as an incentive so that in the future
the people of the town will be af-
forded the opportunity to witness
many more such entertainments.
To Mr.. B. Falk, manager of the
Opera-house, Is due no little credit
for the success Of the affair.

Her GRANDSON.

SON In the Lafayette jail.

A C0l0red Woman Travels From
Oklahoma to see her Grand.
SON I'm the Lafayette JAN.
Berthe Debaptist, the young mu-
latto who is charged with assaulting
and robbing John Rosenski, some
days ago near the railroad yards,
is not as friendless rs might have
been believed from his appearance
and mode of travelling. Wednes-
day evening a woman giving the
name of Mrs. S. J. Sandridge called
at the home of Mr.. Billaud, the
jailer, and stated that she was the
grandmother of Debaptist and
wanted to see him. Mr.. Billaud
complied with the woman's request
and conducted her to the Jail and
brought her face to face with her
grandson who was in the cell.
There was a striking contrast be-
tween the grandmother and child.
The formers complexion is white
and no trace of the negro can be
detected on her features, while the
latter is a dark mulatto. and looks
more like an African than Cauca-
sian. The woman was neatly
dressed ana her general appearance
and manner of speech betokened a
marked superiority over the major
ity of females of her race. She
broke down and cried several times
while in the presence of the prisoner
and seemed to feel keenly his posi-
ton. She is a resident of Little
Rock, Ark, but was in Guthrie,
o. T., when She heard of Debap-
lists arrest and came from that
city to this town to do something
to assist her grandson out of his
present troubles. Debaptist SEEM
ed to be glad to see her, but he
coolly remarked that tears would do
no good and that the best thing to
do was to get a lawyer and try to
get him out. Before leaving the
Jail the woman gave Mr.. Billaud
some fruits and cakes which she
had brought for the prisoner.

There was a mass meeting at
Pilette yesterday afternoon. The
attendance was quite large for a
ward meeting and judging from
the liberal applause of the audience
the views expressed by the speakers
met with the approval of the voters
of that section of the parish. There
is no doubt that the loyal and un-
terrified Democracy of old Pilette
will speak in no uncertain tones on
the 14th instant.

A Piek.Poelkee.

as A slick-lo1king youngster Who
claims to be from St. Louis and
Who hears the name OF Mitchell
Hickey, is one Of the prisoners in
the parish jail. He was put there
Monday night and before he will
gain his liberty it is very likely that
he will spend some time at Baton
Rouge. It appears that Hickey
met q stranger at the depot and
asked him for dime to- get some,
thing to eat. The stranger kindly
consented to help the boy and took
from his purse ten cents which he
gave him to buy a lunch. Un-
fortunately for Hickey he saw a
few bills in his benefactor's purse
and he thought he might secure
some of them before going away.
He accordingly stayed around the
sitting room and watched for an OPP
portunity. The man who was wait
ing for a train went to sleep on one
of the benches and while asleep his
purse was taken from him. He sus-
pected that Hickey was the thief
and took the necessary steps to
have him arrested. Thinking that
he would in all probability beat his
way out Of town on the first train,
the man found Hickey on what the
bum fraternity call the s'blind" and
proceeded to search him. Two ten
dollar bills were found in the leg
Rings of the drawers and five dollars
in the lining of his coat. AS $25
was the sum stolen there was no
doubt that the thief was caught.
