The following is q special sent
from Breaux Bridge to the Times
Democrat. dated the Bird inst:
There is quite a good feeling Of
indignation aroused in the good
and law-abiding citizens of this
section of the parish by the re-
port rendered by the grand jury.
to the District Court, which is
now in session at ST. Martinvi)le,
presided over by Hon. Felix Woo
rhies, judge. Some days ago there
were several White Caps, or regu-
lstors, arrested for whipping two
negroes and threatening others on
the plantation of Dr. F. R. Mar
tin. This was done at midnight.
These parties we're promptly ar
rested BY the sheriff, and as the
grand jury was in session their
cases were Immediately investi-
gated, and in their report to tho
court no true bills were found
against these parties. There are
conflicting reports as to the affair,
and to say the least it is unfortn-
nate that it should occur.

NATIONAL AMERICAN WJMAN's SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION MEETS IN ATLANTA TODAY.
 ATLANTA, Jan. 30.-At 10 o'clock to- morrow morning Miss Susan B. Anthony will call to order the twenty seveath an- nual session of the National American Woman's Suffrage association.
 It will be the first meeting the woman suffragists have ever held in the south, and though Atlanta has never Seen in cordial sympathy with the movement that brings them to this city they will be given rous- ing reception ard treated with marked demonstrations of respect and courtesy.
 Miss Susan B. Anthony, the aged presi- dent of the association, arrived in Atlanta this afternoon, accompan jed by Mrs. Chap man Catt. Mics Anthony was very much exhausted by her long trip, but d refresh : ing sleep at the hotel restored her streng, b '. On her way to Atlanta she delivered num- Der of speeches, and was given a cordial welcome wherever she appeared.
 The coming Of the convention to Atlanta is due to the efforts of three sisters, Miss II. Augusta Howard, the president Of the state association; Miss Claudia Howard Maxwell and Mrs. Merriam Howard Du- base. All of them are young ladies, and they rank among the brightest members ol the association.

Games of the old World.

An Italian editor has been investigating the principal games in fashion in Europe during the Gull weather. Ho finds the present craze in England is clay modelling, the selected v'ctims-and generally mis undcrstood-bcing MT. Gladstone and sir Harcourt. In Belgium, especially in the Rockersclubs, slow smoking races arc the fashion. These end them selves favorably to bets. Big Flemish pipes are loaded with half an ounce of to- bacco, and he is winner who can smoke his own through in the longest time with out relighting; present record, 67 min utes to one pipc. Leaping beans are the amusement of Italy and southern France. The inventor has had whole fields of them sown in Mexico and the larvB carefully preserved. The bean leaps best on hot plates, but the southerners paint them as kings and queens and use little gunpow- der. Then the figures go into convulsions, and the game is called "L'anarchie. Ger many, of course, is occupied with the war game, and France has selected "divincr- tes," of guesses of the future.

AN AMERICAN CUSTOM.
We Want the Correct Time and Endeavor
 to Get It.


 to Get It.
 Of course if you walk on Chestnut street and take notice as you go along-all pco- pie should have observing cyes-you will see men stopping to compare their watches with the chronometers in tho jewellers windows And if you have travelled abroad venture to sGy you never saw foreigner so comparing the time of his watch.
 Tho fact Is this Is a custom peculiarly American. We place more value on time here-our minutes uro precious, we arc so busy, so eager in the race for wealth. time is indeed money with us.
 A friend of mine who goes abroad every season was chatting about thls matter to me and said:
 Do you know that tho Americans buy the most expensive watchesP l was talk ing to ono of the most celebrated watch makers in all Europe on this very subject, and was surprised to hear him say that his best watches-the most expensive make repeaters and tho like-were mostly sold in the American market He said too, that foreigners do not care for such correct time as the Americans. If their watches ere few minutes too fast or too slow, 1t does not concern them.
 II was myself impressed with tho truth of these remarks by the watchmaker when, few days afterward, I was in . railroad station in Paris and saw two pub lie clocks four minutes apart! Another time I set my watch by one public clock in London and the next day found by an other public clock in the samo city, only n dozen blocks away, that my watch was six minutes slow by that clock Yes, you may be sure that the Americans are tho only nation who care for the exact time. !"

How Guests Are Made Happy and How
 Made Miserable.


 If an icy coldness rcigns in well heated rooms, if people pass each other distantly, stare at tho pictures or turn over the leaves of photograph albums and yet look forward eagerly and with pleasure to tho moment when they can bid good night to their host, these arc oyidoncesof a discom- fort not always expressblo in words, for even though conventionality requires that they depart with tho fervent assurance that they have spent a delightful evening 1t is lie. The host may bo charming cordial and well meaning, but it is a martyrdom to attend function at his house, for tho reason that ho is not fitted for the duties of social leader. The same people who answer his calls would in another house have bcen able to enjoy themselves thor oughly.
 The most dangerous as host to tho peace of mind of society people is tho nerv- ous man. The perturbod manner with which he receives his guests bctrays tho fact that tho company Is bnilt up liko mosaic, 1gurativcly spcaking-thc falling of ono stone would cause tho whole cdiice to crumblo in pieces He is palc and anx- ious as he rushos hithcr and thither, fear ful lest something will go wrong and speaks to the guests who have arrived without knowing what ho is talking about

Before an hour has elapsed the whole company is in tho same condition; even the servants with the refreshments seem to be rendered nervous by simple thanks from any of those present.

It is only when they are at tho table, or loso sight of tbeir entertainer, that the customary cquanm- ity of the guests is restored. d.-Home and Country.
