THE MATCHLESS MAIDEN.

Oh, The footgear of my seaside girl is
dainty as can be.
And the headgedr Of my de CIR
IS marvellous to see;
While her morning gown and evening
dress and bathing suit and fan
Are enuogh to drive to madness any
ordinary man.
But It's not her hats, nor hosiery, nor
gowns that she may wear
That unloose my frightened purse
strings and impeI me to despair;

I've captured one of those)
But the dainty Summer maiden that
these dainty things enclose.
| have seen her in her evening dress
displaying modest charms,

Neptune's sportive arms,
| have seen her in translucent Swiss,
reclining on the beach,
When the spell that hung about us was
too consecrate for speech;
But twas not the dotted muslin, nor
the dotless duck she wore,
Nor the iaunty bathing dress in which
she capered on the shore.
Nor her little pointed slippers Enough

But the matchless Summer maiden

ness, weakness, bad taste, stomach

poisons can be swept away and ami
hilated by the Shaker Digestive Cor

Mr.. John H. Inman of New York

Mr.. John III. Inman of New York
was interviewed last week in regard
to the price of cotton, and he ex-
pressed himself as follows:
On October 10th, just five months
ago, March cotton sold in this market
at $50. From that time there has
practically been a continuance de-
cline until March 5, when, contracts
sold at 7.20, decline IA cents.
My estimate of the crop is the same
to-day as 1T was FIVE months ago,
when cotton sold at $50; that is g.
900, 900 bales.
The above decline brought our
market much below European parity
and led to large purchases of con-
tracts in New York against sales to
Europe.
My experience is that after
steady decline of so long time an
upward movement is inevitable, a
movement which will most likely re-
cover half of the 2 IA cents decline
and therefore carry us back to 8 Ia
"a s 1-2 cent cotton before the season
is over. With the rapidly declining
stocks and the fact that it is S l2
months before new cotton can be OBJ
tanned, it occurs to me that the per-
sistent sellers short of August may
get into very uncomfortable posi-
tion before the season is over. Un-
less prices advance materially, / do
not see how New York can avoid
having a small stock by August 5.
Trade in America is very bad, per
haps worse than at any time for
thirty years; but against this, trade
in Europe is good and Liverpool and
the continent will take large
amount of cotton at the cheapest
price they can get it, but will, in my
judgment, pay Ia to LIZ cents if
necessary. Almost every cross road
follower south is short of the crop,
and therefore to my mind the extern
sive preparations and increased acre.
age and prospects of the new crop
are greatly exaggerated. At any
rate it is the season that makes the
crop and not the acreage.

cut Jordan Lees throat from ear to
ear at Oak Grove yesterday. Singer
was arrested, and, while ON the way
to this place in charge of deputy
sheriff Shrock and posse, attempted
to escape. The posse ran him about
two miles. After killing his horse,
he promised to surrender, but on
coming up, he jumped at the deputy
and attempted to get his pistol, and
while scuffling, was shot six times by
Mr.. Shrock, the deputy, and one

Congressional Election in the Fifth
District.


The Picayune says that "informa-
ton received from Governor Foster, il
regard to the action Of the House of
Representatives in declaring void the
congressional election in the Fifth Dis
trict of Louisiana, is to the effect that
he will not order the new election to
be held at the same time with the State
election.
This is plainly in accordance with
the provisions of law separating State
and Federal elections. When elections
for Congressman we're held at the same
time that State officials were voted for,
opportunity was given to the Federal
officials to ELL the polling places and
dominate the elections with United
States deputy marshals, while on some
occasions Federal soldiers were on duty
at the polling place under arms. So
repugnant to the principles of IA repub-
lican government was that sort Of
thing that laws were enacted carefully
separating the State from the Federal
elections.
In view of these facts, the Governor
will not order the choosing of Con-
gresham in the Fifth District to be
done at the time of the State election,
but will issue call for special elec-
ton to be held at some other time. and
with as little delay as possible under
the circum stances"

The course pursued by the Republi-
can candidate for governor is bearing
its legitimate fruit in riots and blood
shed. He has not scrupled to advise
his followers to resort to force 20 carry
the election. When we consider that
his followers are ignorant negroes
chiefly, we cannot be surprised if they
attempt to TO low his advice. In such
an event, 1t does not require prophet
to foretell the fearful results. For ff-
teen years the white and black people Of
this parish. and we may say of this
State, have lived in the utmost har-
mony. and the races have pros
pered. The facilities for education ex-
tended to the colored people and paid
for by the whites. have been unsur-
passed under similar conditions. We
have had disastrous overfows, and
have been reduced almost to pauper-
ism by low prices for our staple in
which cases. both races have suffered
alike. We cannot forget that in 1898,
our gallant and wholesouled governor
came promptly at our call for relief
and literally supplied the needs of the
colored people. thrown upon the CON-
munity without the means of living.

Barney Barnato, the English min

be worth $50, 200, 900, twenty years
ago was poor circus clown in the
city of London. The Judge says
that "this is more money than either
Mr.. Vanderbilt or Mr.. Aston could
scrape together without notices, and
it would probably take a good ac-
countant over SAT years, simply to
count a billion dollar bills. Yet all
this money will go to the three Bar
nato children if they live after their
parents DEATH" At the rate he has
made money in the past twelve
months, he will have the almost fab
ulous sum of one billion dollars with
in another year.
