Dear Sir-Whilc the handling of the
crowds by the ferry officials has been
greatly Facilitated. yet all OF this has
been at The expense OF the ladies. The
ferry rooms. especially THAT on the Nor
fold side, one night last week. reminded
hat writer more OF a pig pen rather
than respectable waiting room. The
air was dense and nausesiting from the
stencil of tobacco fumes, while the floor
was covered with amberc that one
could hardly pass without stepping
into IT. The whole had ,the appear
ance of some low dive, reeiing in filth
ness and sickcninG to any female un-
used to the very lowest life. Better
the crOwding and less of time than the
forcing OF ladies into such an "Augean

The <esuffraee amendment will cut quite
..caper'' in the coming campaign. The
law would be very good one if it could be
applied years hence. But the day has not
vet arrived when the people of this parish
are willing to support platform that is bent
on the destruction of their ballots. The
National Democratic party has been accused
of very grave errors since its taking the
reins Of the government four years ago. OF
course, no good Democrat blamed the
party, as we were all of the opinion that it
took full term to replace the finances OF
the country, in the same condition that
Cleveland left the M prior to President Har-
.isons administration. We pardon the party
for all erro:s done in the past, but we can
not forgive the Democratic party of Louis
lana for having placed a plank in its plat
| form, that will cast aside and detranchisc
| two-thirds of its best people in Southwest
Louisiana. We are surprised; very much
so, at the mild attitude taken by our dele
| gates at Shreveport on the suffrage amend
| ment. Why did they vote blank why
| did they not stand with St. Landry and
| to the majority of that convention, ''we are
! Democrats, but we can never vote a PlanL
| that will disfranchises our constituents r. In
| Our estimation, a blank vote is two fold
| worse than having voted for the amendment
| We expect our delegates to give us thorough
explanation of this matter. They canno
plead ignorance, as Lafayette's delegates &c
Shreveport were all men OF educatlon ane
broad Judgment. We of the SAM
opinion of that pure old creole, that old wa
horse of Democracy, ex-Gov. c. II. Mouton
of St. Martin, that conventions do not eS
press the popular will of the masses-neve
before did a convention violate SO much tn
voice of the people as did that last conven
ton at Shreveport. CHEROKEE.

Edward Tanner. Dying.

Times-Democrat JAM I6.
Edward Tanner, a native of La
tayette, La, aged twenty-eignt
years, a Western Union telegraph
operator, now lies at the Charity
Hospital in a dying conditions, the
result of having swallowed nearly
ten ounces of chloroform. Tanner
boarded at the house of Mrs. E..
Dejoie. No. 1917 Canal street, and
had resided there for the pa st three
months. About O'Clock Felix
Haas, who had been drinking with
Tanner all the evening, called on
Mrs. Dejoie and told her that Tan
ner was drinking and that he had
tried, but could not get him home,
but he had promised him he would
come home later. Upon receiving
this information Mrs. Dejoie went
up stairs and locked the room.
About @ O'Clock Tanner came home,
went up stairs and finding his room
locked returned down stairs and en-
tered the room where MIS-. Deioie
and her daughter, Mrs. Louisa
Jour6an, were. He asked Mrs.
Dejoie why she had locked his room,
and she replied, so as to tell when
he came in. Turning to Mrs. De-
joie, Tanner said, "Old lady, you
have always been good to me. 1
am going to die. Life is not worth
living" He drew a bottle from his
pocket and drank nearly its entire
contents. He reeled and fell on
the floor. Mrs. Dej lie grabbed the
bottle and was astonished to find
that it had contained ten ounces of
chloroform, which he had purchased
from the American drug store.
The ambulance was called and
the students worked on Tanner for
a while at the house, and then re-
moved him to the hospital. They
considered his condition very criti-
cal. Tanner has wife and two
children residing in Lafayette, and
rs he Is separated from his family,
trouble is supposed to have been
the cause of his rash act. They
have been separated about six
months. Tanner, after leaving his
wife, went to Atlanta, but was not
satisfied with that city and came to
New Orleans. He obtained en-
ployment in the Western Union Tel
egraph office. He wrote letter tc
his wife about a month ago, but she
returned it unopened. Ever since
then he has been Respondent. Yes
terday he was paid off and immedi
ately started drinking, and while IL
that condition he purch ased thu
poison.

An Old Soldiers Recommends
ton.

In the late war I was a soldier in
the First Maryland Volunteers,
Company G.. During my term of
service I contracted chronic diar-
rhea. Since then I have used a
great amount of medicine, but when
l found any that would give me re-
lief it would injure my stomach, un-
til Chamberlain's Cholic Cholera
and Diarrhea Remedy was brought
to- my notice. 1 used it and will
say it is the only remedy that gave
me permanent relief and no bad re-
suits follow. l take pleasure in
recommending this preparation to
all of my old comrades, who, while
giving their services to their coun
try, contracted this dreadful disease
as l did, from eating unwhoiesome
and uncooked food. Yours truly,

the people of this town will extend
TO the gentlemen of the association

Of Lafayette as the place of meeting
i. an honor which we are satisfied
the people of the town and parish
win not be slow to recognize. That
this town has been singled out as
the best and most suitable place to
hold the annual meeting of the State
Agricultural Society may we'll be
taken rs an expression of the good
opinion in which it is held through
out Louisiana. It is for the people
to say IT they wish to sustain that
reputation. If they do they will
have ! splendid opportunity to show
it. A special invitation has been
extended to the ladies and it is safe
to say that they will respond with
their usual public-splrit and show
that they have at heart the good
name of the town. If they will
only favor the meetings with their
presence that alone will be some
thing to be thankful for. Let Us
hope the business men of LAFAYETTE

will do everything in their power tc
extend to the delegates a heart!
