New York policemen have been
arresting women for smiling Oh the
streets. In one case, that of Miss
Hannah Posenthal, it was proved at
the trial that a virtuous 'tpeeler"
named Gill smiled at the fair Han
nah, who, not wanting to be out
done in the smiling art, returned the
smile, whereupon Gill arrested her
and made case against her for
illicit smiling. Now, all fair mind
ed people will admit that this is an
outrage perpetrated against the
weaker sex. It's right they have
to smile and no one should be per
mitted to infringe upon it. We be-
lieve That Miss Hannah should carry
her case before the Supreme court,
and witt. that end in view we would
suggest that subscription be raised
for the purpose of employing coun-
sci. Bro. Gre;g Of the ST. Matin-
Vile Evangeline, is the right man
to take charge Of the case, for IN
his hands we feel confident that the

A SOCIETY EVENT.
An Elegant Dance Given by the
Young Men of Lafayette
OH New Years Eve.

One of the most enjoyable social
.'cred the young ladies of Lafayette
by the young men on New Years
eve. The night was clear and fair
and the temperature for dancing
just at the right point.
Through the kindness of MIR. and
Mrs. Hahn the large and spacious
dining hall of the Crescent News
Hotel was had for the purpose, and
it is undoubtedly an ideal place fo1
a dance. The floor was waxcd I'M
til one could almost see himself re-
aected therefrom, and gliding over
it's smooth surface to the enhancing
strains of an elegant string band
from Morgan City, the feet of the
dancers moved without an effort.
Fair lads and lassies were present
in full number, and many of our
fair neighbors assisted in welcoming
young "'o5" as old "'94" gently
faded away into the misty past.
The ballroom presented a pretty
sight. Many handsome toilets were
noted, and Lafayette girls did them
selves credit. The grand march,
led by Mr.. Ed Givens and Miss
Lovenskjold, was a lovely sight,
more than 80 couples taking part.
A little after IL O'Clock an ele-
giant and substantial supper, pre-
pared by Mrs. Hahn with excellent
taste, was served. 1t is needless to
say that all did full justice, and
many happy New Years bumper
was quaffed in sparkling wine. After
supper the young ladies and gentle
men surrounded Mr.. and Mrs. Hahn,
and Mr.. Ed Owens, in a neat little
speech, presented them with a
handsome pair of silver napkin
rings, as slight testimonial of the
high esteem felt for them by the
young people of Lafayette.
The band began to play, and the
dancers once more wh;rled in the
may waltz. No stop was made I'M
til $ O'Clock warned them that day
was just ushering in another year.
RESPECTFULLY all began preparations
for going home, with many sigh
that the night was SO short.
Those present were:

Charles J. Ranlett, a representa-
tive of the Ferris Sugar Manufac-
turing Company, appeared before
Justice N1cFadden Friday morning
and made an affidavit against Mr..
John Vigncaux for assault and bat
terry. AS soon as Mr.. Vigneaux
was informed Of the charge against
him he presented himself before
Judge McFadden, pleaded not gull
ty and asked for a speedy trial.
The case was fixed for O'Clock,
when the trial was commenced. The
testimony adduced went to show
that Messrs. Vigneaux and Ranlett
were engaged in a CONVEX sation in
the bank when the difficulty arose.
After hearing all the evidence pro
and con the judge took the case un-
der advisement and will give his
decision today.

The Herald is on the warpath be-
cause the Town Council of Rayre
rejected it's bid to do the printing
one year for one cent, and accepted
that Of the Tribune for so.t. We
are in a position to sympathizc with
our confrere; Tie Gazette was de-
MED the right to bid a all by the es-
tecmed City Council of Lafayette.
The people of New Iberia taught
a very good lesson to Mr.. James
Corbett, the distinguished champion
pugilist, the other day. 1t seems
that Corbett and his troop failed to
give the people the whole enter
tainment as advertised, but a num-
Der of gentlemen refused to be hum
plugged and demanded reimburse
ment of the money they had paid
for admission. The famous boxer
was impressed with the fact tina
the New Iberians were not IN
humor to be hoodwinked, and
he made little speech in which he
told those who were not satisfied to
go to the door and get their money
back. Every person in the house
left and Carbett was reduced to the
painful! necessity of playing to
empty seats or close the0erform
ance and he wisely chose ~ latter
alternative. IfAall the fake shows
travelling were treated in like man
ner theatre-goers would not be SO
often deceived.

The central committee was empowered
to fill any vacancies in the ticket that

OF the committee on resolutions. A hui
morous incident then occurred. Mr..
Pinkham stated that under the corrupt
practice act the central committee could
not levy assessments, and contributions
must be voluntary. In tho face of this
difficulty he suggested that the hat be
passed around in the convention. Shrop-
shire entered an objection, as he believed
the passing of the hat would in itself he a
violation of the corrupt practice law. Hol-
land and Cotter spoke to the same effect
and the motion was Withdrawn. After the
customary votes of thanks tho convention
then adjourned.

BUTTE, March 2S.-The beer halls which
will be compelled to permanently go out
of business when their licenses expire. are
not letting anything slip between their
fingers in the meantime. John Waner, a
young Polander who arrived in Butte a
few days ago from Rawlins. Wyo, dropped
into the Coliseum thieving joint last night
and as he had money, the usual result
followed. He had $50 in gold which was
quickly spent on fake wine and thinking
that he was broke, and when he was about
to be thrown out in the mud. il was dis
covered that he had a certificate of de-
post on Rawlins bank for 500. Charley
Mason, the sure CRATER who runs the joint,
set up the drinks n couple of times
and told Waner that he owed for five
more bottles of wine. He asked for the
1890 deposit check. saying he would only
take out $25, and Waner foolishly gave it
to him. Mason thereupon told him that he
owed for 40 bottles of wine, or 500, and
that he would give him the remaing 500
as soon as he could send il to Rawlins and
have il cashed. Mason deposited the GER
tificate in Clark Bros. bank to-day for co.,
lection and Waner is holding the sack.
Wnncr drank too much fake wine last
night TO know or care much about what
was going on, but he came to his senses
to-day and reported the robbery, for il
was nothing less, to the police.

FORT SMITH, Ark. March 2S.-The bod
les of Sam McWilliams and George San
ders, the outlaws killed this morning in n
fight at BragGs, /. T., have arrived here.
William Barbe, the deputy United States
marshal who brought the bodies, tells the
following story: "Dhis morning was
sitting on the hotel porch at Braggs, hav-
ing just had breakfast, when three men
came riding up and hitched their horses
TO the rack in front of Morris store. Com
ing across the street to the hotel. they
made me hold up my hands and disarmed
me. Finding that | was an officer, they
marched me to Morris store and said
that as soon as they finished robbing it
they would kill me. An Indian who was
on tho porch at the time they held me up
slipped out and gave the alarm. He no.
titled the sheriff, who got posse and adj :
vanced to the store. As they came up the
robbers ran out and the fight commenced.
McWilliams and Sanders were killed and
the other robber, who was recognized as
Sam Butler, escaped badly wounded.
