The Mouth. of the mississippi.

The scare that New Orleans has lately
been treated to by the discovery that "a
crevasse' or break in the bank of the
Mississippi in Pass a Loutre, threatening
the stability of the 1~etties, has caused
a general investigation of the lower river.
and has brought out the fact that there
are half a dozen breaks in Il; but the
engineers are unable to say whether they
are natural streams or artificial, for in
the soft soil of Louisiana a ditch can
soon grow into a river. The names given
to one of the new outlets OF the MIssis-
sippi, Baptiste Collects Canal, would indi-
cate its human origin, but the engineers
can discover nothing of its story, for
tradition has lost record of it. Whatever
it was originally, it is now a river, or part
of a river. 1t is well known that Bayou
iPlaquemine. formerly a large navigable
stream, and the means of communication
between New Orleans and Southwest
ditch. which the flow of water from the
Mississippi increased in time to a bayou
and finally into a river. 1t then became
SO dangerous, threatening many parishes
with overflow, that it was damned up by
the government thirty years ago. Now
the United States is spending some $780,
900 to open 1t and to construct Immense
locks at its juncture with the Mississippi,
SO as to admit the largest steamers going
via the Plaquemine, to the Atchafalaya,
Teche. and other West Louisiana streams.
1t Is this human origin of many rivers in
southern Louisiana which keeps the en-
gineers and the geographers puzzled. for

HOW THEY WON THE AUDIENCE
The Russell Sisters Experience at
Arboret's Entertainment.

Arboret Council, No. 1,2O7, Royal Ar
canurn, celebrated its seventh anniver-
sary by an entertainment and reception
at Pohlmann's last night. The entertain
meht consisted of a variety programme
rendered by professionals. Among the
artists were the Russell Sisters. When
their turn came there was something of
a sensation. They are song and dance ar
lists They came on humming the COO
chee-coochee and swaying their bodies in
the peculiar manner that always accom-
panies this tune. Some of the audience
seated in the front of the hall objected
TO this and Kissed. Others in the rear ap-
plauded In a moment the large audience
was In an uproar, misses, cat calls and
cheers mingling in a perfect Babel. The
nose seemed to both annoy and excite the
sisters, for they began turning flip flaps
ana nardsprings on the stage. One of
them after a particularly vigorous hand
spring stood plump on her head allowing
q mass OF skirts, petticoats and frills to
1all about her face and shoulders. while
above this voluminouS mass two shapely
legs protected by colored lights waves
wildly in the air. The sight seemed to
catch the fancy of the audience and to re-
store good humor. The applause was yo-
ciferous, and the sisters were allowed TO

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
The Bergen Baptist Sunday
School Willing to Give
Its Play a New
Title.
TRUSTEES NOT RECONCILED
If They Refuse Consent to the
Performance, There Will Be
an Embarrassing Time.
TRUSTEES NOT RECoNCILED

The congregation of the Bergen Baptist
Church are much perturbed over the
fact tina the differences between the Sum
day School Glass and the Board of Trus
tees had leaked out. b class claim
that the play which they intended to
give was strictly proper, although they
admit the title, "A Breach of Promise
Case,v was not just the proper thing.
1t has been proposed, therefore. that the
title be changed. The Objectionable fea-
ture being thus removed. the young folk
think the consent of the Board of Trus-
tees to the performance viii be readily
/ obtained.
IN This proposition was conveyed to the
Toard of Trustees. Whether it made any
ference or not, cannot yet be deter
ned. The Board of Trustees does not
until tomorrow night. There will
be a committee present from the class
TO plead their cause. Should the Board
decide to refuse the request of the class,
the members of thai body think that
their regulations viii be at stake. This
results from having issued the tickets
and placards advertising the affair to be
held next Tuesday night. The young
ladies and gentlemen are puzzling them
selves as to how they will meet their
friends, should the Board refuse their
request.
One of the members of the Board of
Trustees was seen last night, and asked
whether the changing of the name would
make any material difference.
Yes he said, that would make some
little difference, but would not be a suf-
ficient reason for me to change my way
of voting. You may call a horse a dog,
but it's a horse just the same. And so
with the play, the literature is objection
able, and calling it by some other name
would not change it's character. / am
very sorry that the young people acted
so hastily in this matter, for they have
left themselves in a peculiar position.
.sTheir argument as to the play having
been given in other churches does not
affect my attitude. I am most decidedly
opposed to it and will vote against it."
The parents Of the young people have
now taken the matter UP and it is likely
that they will have a delegation present
at the meeting tomorrow night to take
up the gauntlet for their children. One
