The ladies do certainly not
fancy the idea of a Legislature
of men only should have the au-
dacity to regulate the head gear.
The men are generally happy at
the passage of this bill, but the
ladies do not look upon it very fa-
vorably. Dudenhefer should have
put in a clause in his hat bill to
regulate also the size of balloon
sleeves, as they are becoming to
be nuisance too.
Twelve applications for men,
bership were presented at the
Knights of Honor meeting last
Monday, and four applicants will
be initiated Monday. This lodge
has made rapid progress in the
last two or three months, having
added over twenty new names to
the membership list.

and make an effort to get the
United States government to get
the bayou cleaned and dredged
from the Keystone plantation to
Arnaudville. We believe we can Sc
cure such work if we only try. The
bayou has been cleaned and dredg-
ed up to the Keystone some time
ago; why could We not obtain the
same work to continue to Arnaud-
vile.

The vitascope.

Tonight the Vitascope will be seen for
the first time in this city at Portland
theatre.
The Vitascope is the name given to
Edison's latest invention, by which a
living view of scenes from life, with all
their Sizes action and color, are thrown
upon curtain by the aid of a novel
electrical light and motor device.
The construction of the Vitascope, up
on which Edison has worked for over
three years, is made possible by the fact
that chemical, as well as electrical
action.is much faster than that Of th Q
quickest human eye. 1t was therefore,
because of mans slowness to perceive
that prom pied the Wizard of Menlo
Park" to conceive the idea of inventing
his living picture machine which is ar
present creating such stir of interest in
New York and Boston. In photographing
scenes with action Mr.. Edison has sue
oeeded in taking over forty pictures per
second, which with the aid of his won
derful Vitascope, can be reproduced life
size upon canvass at the same rate of
speed, thus giving perfect stimulation
of the life of the actual scene.
AS the monograph has made impossible
to record every sound, SO will the Vita
scope record and preserve for posteri ty
every look and action of those we love.
Every movement in mans career from
the playful actions of the babe todecrepit
old age-every action in nature from the
oceans wave to the volcanoes eruption,
can BIZ saved and reproduced generations
after Father Time has swept such scenes
Edison's latest achievement has opened
ZIP to the imagination is practically un-
limited in scope and novelty.
The Vitasoope will be exhibited every
evening
