We have received nearly fifty
new subscribers in the last two
weeks. This is right, the Popu-
lists cannot do without an organ
in this parish, and the town and
business interests need two papers
here to keep up healthy competi-
ton, and as narrow, preludlced
politics gives all the public patron
age to the other paper, this one
should receive liberal share of the
private patronage.
Now is tho time to get subscrl-
bers, and every Populist in this
parish should be induced to sub
scribe for this paper.
Brother G. f. Mccartney has
been authorized to take subscrip-
tions at his appointments and we
hope those who do not come to
the Office will meet him at his near
est speaking and subscribe.

A Fire.

The barn and stables of Mr.. B.
f. Dranguet, on Front Street, to-
ward the Depot, were completely
destroyed by fire Saturday even
inc. with about 750 barrels of corn
and 40 bales Of hay. Mr.. Dram
guet had set lantern down in the
hay loft and mad climbed over the
bales to some other part OF the
barn, and on returning found the
lantern crushed by a falling bale
which was in flames before he could
remove it, and he had to run fol
his life. The loss is pretty severe
as there was only 800 insurance
on the entire outfit. 1t took hard
work from the fire department tt
save the building just across the
street.

The Governor said his idea was
to invest the committee with plena-
ry powers in the matter. He said
he had had long conversation
with Mr.. Scarborough of Natchi-
toches. relative to the manner in
which relief was being distributed
in that parish, and the system was
so perfect that he did not see how
it could well be improved upon.
In Natchitoches there is parish
or central committe which appoints
subcommittee in each ward. The
members of these ward committees
make an investigation wherever
there is report of suffering or a
farmer is said to be in need, and
then make report to the parish
committee. If farmer repre-
sents that he has not the means to
carry his hands through until an
other crop can be raised these
ward committees make inquiry as
to his financial standing, whether
he owns the land he is working,
whether he can secure supplies on
time, or whether he really is IN
such condition that he and those
who have been working for him
will suffer if aid is not extended.
If the person seeking aid is found
to be in a position where he could
secure something to tide him over
by his own exertions if nothing is
done for him, while on the Other
hand if he is really in need and
not in position to get any mer-
chant to assist him, the sub-com'
mittee makes a report OF the facts
and relief is extended.
Gov. Foster said he thought i
the committees would adopt thl:
policy much of the detail worE
would devolve upon the parish
committees that the central com
mittees would appoint, while thes'
parish committees in turn coulC
ascertain the exact condition pre-
vailing in the parish through ware
committees.

charmed his listeners by the richness and
musical character of his voice, his clear
enunciation and his Intelligent reading.
Time has only served to ripen and in
crease mis- powers, and his Interpretation
last evening drew forth the heartest ap-
plause. Each character from the dignified
Theseus to the stammering Starvel!ng
he tailor was distinct and clearly cut.
He was somewhat at a disadvantage in
this hall, which attractive as it is in
every respect. is not 80 we'll adapted for
reading on account of the cho. Mr.
Riddle was particularly happy in his i'm
presentations of the hard handed men of
Athens, anu his Pyramus and Thisbe
evoked great merriment.
A great addition to the recital was Mr..
Parkyn's delightful performance of the
music. The Aeolian deserves the thought
full examination of every person who
lays claim to musical ability in any
direction whatever. There is just enough
of the self-playing feature to make it
possible for anyone to play any compost
tion they may wish to hear, but it is evil
dent that competent musician, bring
ing to his aid q knowledge Of instru-
ments, and Of orchestration, can so far
eliminate the element of mechanism that
it practically disappears altogether. Take
for instance Mr.. Parkyn's performance
last night. The most absolute knowl-
edge of the exact Instrumentation was
displayed throughout the entire work.
The flute solo in the Scherzo, the clarinet
and bassoon duet IN the march funebre
and the gradual massing of the full
strength of the woodwind in the clown
dance. wsre marked illustrations of what
the Aeolian can accomplish under the
guidance of skilful hands.
A special feature was Mr.. Parkyn's
skilful use of the keyboard notably in
the interlnezzo, the nocturno and the
wedding march by which means the solo
passages for various instruments were
made to stand out as prominently as
though played by an assisting performer.
