An Open Letter to Carlisle

George w. Pepperell is very ac-
tive il. political literature this year,
and his series of Open Letter to
prominent political leaders in the
Arena is attracting as much atten-
ton and creating as much curiosity
as any thing that has appeared in
periodical literature since the ia
nous Arthur Richmond letters,
which set the political world by the
ears and all heads a-wagging some
years ago. George W. PepPerell
has the same acuteness of perfecs
ton, the same directness and deft-
ness of attack, the same long mem
DRY of political history inside and
out, and the same mastery of all
the facts Of the important legislation
of this country during the last
twenty-five years. In the March
Arena George w. Pepperell pre-
sumably one of the ancient New
England Pepperell family which led
the storming of Louisburg, addresses
an open letter to Secretary Carlisle,
and he makes fairly breezy reading
for all who love polemics. The
writer, whoever he is, is politician
to his finger tips and knows the ms
and outs of American men and
parties like an oracle.

An Important Decision.

During the last term of the Dis
trict Court Judge Allen decided an
important question to the farmers.
1t was a case where party had
been working on halves on a plan
tation several years, cultivating
during that time certain portion s
of the field. At the beginning of a
year the farmer employed another
party and gave for cultivation,
without the consent and against the
protest of the first party, portion
of the land cultivated by the latter
the previous years, whereupon he
left the place and brought suit
against the farmer fot payment for
work already done and for damages
for violation of the contract.
The judge decided that plaintiff
could not recover, because he was
only a laborer and the farmer had
the sole and exclusive control of
his farm, and that having aban-
doned his work without legal cause,
the laborer could get nothing for
work already done.

A Company of Fakes.

Duncan Clark's aggregation of
blooming blondes and blushing
brunettes showed here last Sunday
to a small and appreciative audience
composed mostly of bald-heads
and run-a way husbands. The show
was fully up to expectations but
the expections were not very high
Briefly, it was about the worst
crowd of fakes that ever visited La
fayette and did not have a ST ngle
redeeming feature. An additional
price of IS cents was charged for the

the first entertainment. AS one

Then and Now.

There was a time when he who would
keep informed of the progress of knowledge,
| the record of discovery and invention, and
the currents of human thought, could and
indeed must rely Chiefly if not wholly upon
books. That day has passed. Books we
must still read, the capitalization and
permanent embodiment of human thought
and knowledge. But to-day it is the news
paper, the magazine, the periodical review,
upon which we must chiefly depend if we
would follow closely the intellectual move
ment of the day. And now new difficulty
has arisen: This newspaper and periodical
literature has become SO multtudinous and
bulky to be heavy burden to the busy
man woman, while even the person who
has leisure aid inclination to read widely
is often unable to get access to the current
publications. Especially in the smaller
cities, villages, and rural districts is the
lack of such opportunity felt. 1t is felt by
the clergyman, the teacher, the lawyer, the
physician, the merchant, the artisan, the
farmer and the cultured and thoughtful
PRACTICAL literary question is: With all
these and many other classes of persons the
great practical literary question is: How
can best supplement my indispensable
home paper? 1t was to answer this ques-
and meet this demand that PUBLIC OI'IN-
ION fnow- published in New York City)
was founded nine years ago. 1t selects the
best, condcnses it to the last degree. and

Rather Mixed.

We have been requested to. explain with
relation to the complaint recently made by
charged for telephonng are excessive, that
the example submitted in support of the com
plant is not a fair one. A charge of egg
cents'' is made not to send 'tsix Words only
Vile, but for the use Of the telephone for not
more than minutes. This is q much more
reasonable rate than is charged for sending a
telegram between the two points, viz: 60
cents for 10 words less, one way, and, if
an answer is required, 60 cents additional
for the second telegram. In the case of tele-
Phoring message may be easily sent and a
reply received within the five minutes, and,
besides the message need not be limited to
ten words, and the fee charged covers the
cost of both the message nd answer. On
the other hand if no anwser be required the
telephone is again much the more advan-
tageous medium of communication, for not
only is the charge between the two points
named IS cents less than for a telegram of
10 words but also the patron is entitled to
the service of the telephone for space of five
minutes, enabling the speaker to send quite
lengthy message il occasion should de-
mand it: When all the facts as we'll as the
nature of the telephone service taken in
to consideration, then, the tariff of rites
tablished by the telephone not as high
as they might appear to be at a superficial

quest and is done in justice to the Teche &

TwSnty-nine Years a Teacher.

Mrs. HOmer Bailey closed her
school last Friday after teaching
during twenty-n1ne years. This es-
Unable lady has spent nearly three
decades in the school-room teach
ing the *tyoung idea how to shoot, p"
and at no time during this long

Among our townsmen who have al

early pupils, who have received the

The retirement of Mrs. Bailey from
the school-room, we are sorry to
say. is due to an enfeebled state of
her health, which The Gazette

A visit to TIoboville.

Last Tuesday in the forenoon a
Gazette reporter IN company with a
railroad conductor, visited "Hotel
de Bum" the famous hobo resort of
Lafayette, or rather what is left of
it. The spot where once stood the
rough shed that sheltered so many
homeless wanderers is now marked
by the remnant of an old brick
press, a few pieces of iron and
other things which these nomadic
people could not use for fuel.
There is probably not single
genuine hobo, the real article who
is an honor to the "profesh," who
has not shared the hospitality of
this celebrated hostelry. And no
wonder that it is famed at home
and abroad. 1t is known from the
lakes to the gulf and from. ocean to
ocean. Some time ago one of
these migratory Coxeyites stated to
one of the railroad boys that he
had heard of the ''brick-yard"
while IN Chicago and another
knight of Perpetual Rest said that
he had heard of it beyond the con-
fines OF Uncle Sam away down in
old Mexico. 1t is undoubtedly one
of the best known institutions in
this parish and nothing has brought
Lafayette more prominently before
the nation than this modest home
of the hobo cohorts. Though it
has no register it is estimated that
in recent years the number of tran
sient guests alone has been forty
per day. Its registry would easily
surpass those of the Royal and
Grunewald combined. Among Its
ruins may be seen four or five hun
dred cans used as cooking uten-
sils, tons of burned coal
and enough cane-trash to fur
nish fuel for a sugar-mill whole
month. Other articles familiar to
the life of the regulation hobo may
be found scattered about the de-
pleted lot. Dead dogs have been
left to rot there by cruel-hearted
persons and the once glorious spot
has lost its former picturesqueness
and the only thing that is left to tell
the tale of it's lost prestige is the
old brick-press which rises majes-
tically above the glimmering land
scape of Hoboville. --.

N,,i,,ar,ce.

Property-holders in Lafayette
should be compelled to build their
gates in way that they would be
made to swing ON the inside and
hot on the sidewalks. This has
been i nuisance of long standing
and is getting more common every
day. The Town Council should
pass an ordinance to do away with
it. On some streets the pedestrian
must shut number of gates before
he is allowed to go his way. The
sidewalks do not belong toprivate in
dividuals and they have no right
to place distractions on them.
