The Louisiana Drought sufferers.

A staff correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayune, who has just made tour
of investigation through the drought
stricken region of Louisiana, has made
detailed report to that paper 1t shows
that there are 200, 600 people who have
lost by the drought of last summer, So,
900, 600 Many of them have been left
wholly destitute, and many others, who
have been able to maintain themselves, are
no longer so by reason of having exhausted
their means in helping their destitute
neighbors. The merchants of that district
are unable to extend credit to their Gus
toners because to continue the business
of purchasing supplies to be handed out on
credit to people who are unable to pay and
will not at any early date be any better
off is something the merchants cannot
afford
Not less than $500, 900, or ten per
cent. of the total losses, will be required
to carry the people over to the next har-
vest, and in addition to all that has been
given and all that is in sight from the state
and private sources, this correspondent ex-
presses the belief that not less than 500,
600 more in cash. OF in bread and meat,
will be absolutely necessary to keep the
people from actual starvation.

IRELAND'S NIGHT OUT.
Men and Women Wear the Green at
the Old Pavilion.

Comely women of Ireland and their
daughters wore the emblem of the
Green Isle at the Old Pavilion last night,
the occasion being the annual ST. Pat
rick's day ball of the Ancient Order Of
HibernianS.
The green flag with the harp that rep
resents a united country was displayed
alongside and around the Stars and
Stripes, and there was an array Of
every kind of Irish emblem on the
bosoms of the ladies and on the lapels of
the sons of the old sod.
Every arrangement had been made
by the committees for successful Gel
ebration of St. Patrick's day, and the
Ancient Order of Hibernians will have
a nice balance to hand over to the Sis
tiers of Mercy at ST. Joseph's Convent as
the result Of their efforts. The commit
tees in charge were:

CRETAN TROUBLES.
The Blockade Has Not Yet Been
Proclaimed by the Powers.

CANEA, March 1.-THE blockade IN
Crete has not yet been proclaimed as
this dispatch is sent. All statements
contrary are untrue. It. is expected,
however, that the blockade may be
proclaimed at any moment. The French
Admiral yesterday evening received in
structions identical with those OF his
colleagues.
CONSTANTINOPLE March 1.-THE
reply of the Porte to the note presented
to the Turkish Government by the pow
ers has been officially published. The
Porte admits the principle of autonomy
for Crete. but reserves the discussion of
the forms and details of such an adj
ministration with the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the powers, these de-
tails to be subordinate to the withdraw
al of the Greek Warships and troops
from the island.
LONDON, March IA dispatch
from Athens says that the Greeks in
Crete assert that the Turks holding
the Notifications at Retimo have made
a sortie into the town and pillaged the
houses of inhabitants without the
slightest opposition on the part of the
marines from the warshipS Of the
powers.

AN INSANE MANS AWFUL DEED.
Murders His Two Children and Puts
an End to His Own Life.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1l.-Fred-

and killed his son William, aged y;
shot and badly wounded his daughter
Amelia, aged ), and then sent bull
let into his breast near the heart, at his
home in this city this morning Fred
erick's little daughter died a few hours
later
Franks made elaborate preparation
for his terrible work He arose earlier
than usual and told his wife to go to
the grocery store for something for
breakfast, while he made coffee. After
his wife went out Franks locked both
doors. The two children were asleep in
a second story back room. Neighbors
heard several pistol shots, but did not
know where they came from until a
few minutes later, when Mrs. Franks
returned to the house She found the
doors locked, and failing to get re-
Spouse to her pulls at the bell called to
her husband to open the door. The lit
tie girl, hearing the calls of her mother
staggered down stairs and opened the
door and fell at her mothers feet.
Picking up the child, the woman
rushed into the parlor and found her
husband with bullet wound near his
heart. On the bed upstairs was the
body of the boy. Death had probably
been instant. The murderer had gone
upstairs and and sent three bullets into
his sons head and body. He then shot
the girl under the chin and went down
stairs and fatally wounded himself
1t is believed the man was suddenly
seized with a fit of insanity.
