flowers, with her tulle veil held
upon her head by cluster of
orange flowers, falling to the hem
of her dress in front, and the deli
cate folds resting upon the train,
was very pretty and entered the
church leaning upon the arm of
her father.
When the bridal party entered
the church the Excelsior brass
band, of which organization the

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him
to be in most miserable condition. 1t
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a spec
dy cure. From the advertisement Of
Chamberlains Cough Remedy and the
many good recommendations included
therein. we concluded to make FIRST trial
of the medicine. To say that it was sa-
tisfactory in its results. is putting il
very mildly. indeed. 1t acted like ma
gic and the result was a speedy and
permanent cure. We have no hesitancy
in recommending this excellent Cough
Remedy to any one afflicted with a

Some of our exchanges are
too glad to take advantage of the
present hard times in certain Sec
tons of the state to show that the
present money system is the cause
of the present condition of things.
Their reasoning is altogether
wrong, the cause of their present
hardship is due to the lack of rain
to make their crops grow and not
to the financial condition of the
country. If the national financial
condition is the cause of the pre-
sent condition of things through
out the United States, the people
of st. Martinville and st. Martin
parish should be we'll satisfied
with things as they are today, for
they are in better circumstances
now than they have been for the
past twenty years; never have our
planters been in as good an inde-
pendent a condition as they are
today, and we attribute the change
in their position to the improved
manner of cultivating, and not to
the financial condition of the coun'
try. Our people have certainly
prospered in our town and parish
in the last few years.

The Lake Road.

We promised last week to give
"a detailed statement of the survey
of the lake marsh made last week
bv Mr.. Charles Gutekunst, which
is az follows;
The length of the proposed road
is 1886 feet from bank to bank.
West bank to island is IA feet OF
soft marsh that must be bridged,
island which is $40 feet is hard
land and can be terraced, from
island to east bank, 594 feet, is soft
marsh and requires a bridge, and
from soft marsh to bank there is
hard land 1913 feet which can be
terraced.
The road would have to be made
in two sections of bridges and two
of terraces, or in other words 83e
feet of bridge and 547 feet of ter.
race.
According to the estimate made
by Mr.. Gutekunst for a bridge
three feet high and twelve fee
wide, at 50 per foot. would cos
Sl,676 and the terrace at 80 cents
per foot would cost 1914 which
would make a total of 81, $4,000 TO
the whole work, and this is consi
dered a low estimate.

ALMOST LYNCHED.

A Brutal Father Fatally Injuries HIS Son
and is Drowned while Trying TO Escape
from n Mob.
CLEVELAND, Sept 2a-Just before
dark Sunday night Edward Wald, a
ship carpenter living on Mulberry
street, narrowly escaped lynchiRg at
the hands of West Side citizens. Wald
came home drunk, quarreled with his
wife and struck her. His 14-yean-old
son, Edward, seized his fathers arm
and pleaded with him to quiet down,
whereupon the brutal father threw tho
boy down the stairway leading 40 the
street, distance Of 20 feet The lad
was seized with COMMISSIONS and doc
tor was summoned to attend him, while
n priest came to administer the, last
rites of the church. A crowd quickly
collected and the clamor for punish.
ment Of Wald became so loud that an
infuriated delegation forced their way
into the house and dragged him out
and rope was sent for. Police ar
rived before the mob c'uld put their
plan Of vengeance into effect and dur
ing skirmish between thl police and
the would-be lynehers Wald broke
from his captors and ran down a street
toward the river. The mob pursued
the runaway and when he reached the
river he jumped In and was drowned.
The boy will die.

portance. Over-ripe fruits are as bad
as under-ripe ones. How to distinguish
between them comes only with expert
ence and desire to learn. Having Sc
| cured those of good quality, it is in the
secondary art OF serving that you can
prove yourself mistress Of your menage.
1t Is an inviolate rule that oil fresh
fruits are better for being cold. Water
melons, cantaloupes and grapes are not
fit to eat unless thoroughly chilled, and
oil other sorts are improved quite so
per cent by standing in the refrigera-
tor few hours before serving time. A
watermelon should be kept on ice at
least 1p hours before 1t Is eaten, and it
may be made to look its very best by
placing II on bed of crepe, fig OF null
berry leaves. To transform it into o
distinguished dessert, halve the melon,
remove as many Of the seeds as practi-
cable, and pour pint Of champagne
into the holes left vacant; then fill them
with small bits of ice chopped to fit
Pineapple should always be served in
n glass dish either cut IN thin, round
slices, or into cubes sprinltled with
sugar. One gill Of white wine to u quart
of the fruit will improve it immensely.
Currants make an extremely pretty
effect if dipped in punches in the beaten
white Of an egg and then in sugar. Let
the coating get thoroughly dry before
serving.
Cordial OF some kind is an excellent ac-
ceesory to cut-up peaches, when cream
for one reason or another Is objection
able. Remember always that If allowed
to stand after being pared they will
grow dark.
Any good, firm berry or fruit served
with broken ice is most appetizing. To
arrange this properly fill the center of
large glass dish with cracked ice; then
lay fresh leaves around it, making
handsome bed ON which to place the
punches or clusters.

may be new TO many housewives. Slice

Many Of the seasons gowns employ q

imposed. The bolero idea is charmingly
applied this season to lace. A jacket

Tea Jackets and theater waists are
two little ideas worth looking up.
Either one. with plain skirt, can be
made to serve the purpose of special

fective in white oriental satin with a
very broad corselet band of black folded
satin. The top of the Jacket is Of white
satin, covered over with frill of white
chiffon. The elbow sleeves are edged
with turnback cuff of black velvet.
As for tea gowns proper, this is the
time to order them. as the day Of the
afternoons cannot be much longer de-
layed. a pretty teagown exhibited at
cne Of the openings commended itself to
me by its clever adaptation of the
newestform Of the new sleeve to an over
arching shoulder puff drawn up under
meath, so that the whole arm shows in
front and the whole puff from the side
or rear. AS for the material, silk and
chiffon, suppose; I really don't re

yoke Of embroidery, and the cuffs had
great flares of fluted lace.

Choice.
COPYRIGHT. 1871


Impossible, pleasant as are the golden
autumn glories among the stilled and
sleeping trees; cool as are the lights,
exhilarating as are the days, cunningly
as the perfect roads tempt to wheeling
or driving or the dry footpaths to wan
dertngs afield-impossible for one who
would catch the spirit of the nNodes to
avoid being in New York the last week
of September.
Of course. the Openings" are every
year more and more delayed in defer
ence to the lengthening of the summer
out of town; of course, it is easy where
ever one may be to arrange with the
little birds that fly from Paris or Lon
don with messages of they are wear
ing" upon their beaks; of course, there
are splendid examples of "gowning'
among the heavy swells in Newport
and Lenox, but to clothe the skeleton Of
fact with the glowing fesh-ah, sight
alone will serve.
1t is one thing to tell of the new
sleeve, it's shape and form, but quite
another to see how the transition Is
managed; by doubled shoulder capes of
satin in self colors; by wreaths of tulle
or yelling hanging about the arm; by
little shoulder puffs which mark the
vanishing mode as the projections above
horses hoofs retain the memory of his
prehistoric toes.
1t is one thing to say that the
mode demands quiet tones and arrange,
ments, but when one sees the glittering
array Of pretties in the shops it is time
to admit that the rigid resolution of
many women 10 adhere to the letter of
the law will be sorely tempted.
First OF all, every woman at an open
ing" will gravitate as rapidly as the
crowd will let her toward the cases
where the ducks of bonnets are dis
played. Flowers have almost vanished
from the trimmings of really smart bon
nets or at most are seen only under the
brim. Their place is taken by feathers
almost always as high plumes in the
place OF honor and by braids, ribbons,
velvet. lace and cut steel as accessories.
