From the football department of
the Sunday States we clip the fol-
lowing:
The Tulane team has secured the
old Princeton player, Matthews, go,
above referred to, to coach them
and Manager Chaffe expects to get
good results from his work with the
elven. Matthews, played sub-end to
Captain Cochran, of the champion
tiger elven of last year and the year
before. He weighs 165 pounds
stripped and is said to be a crack-a-
jack all round athlete and football
player. He will come to the city
from Lafayette La, in few days.
The gentleman mentioned in the
foregoing item is Mr.. Wilson
Matthews who has been in Lafayette
since about two months. During
his short stay here Mr.. Matthews
has made a large number of friends,
who, though pleased that he has
secured a desirable position in New
Orleans, will regret to see him leave.
Being a clever young man as we'll
as good football player The Gazette
has no doubt that he will have both
a pleasant and profitable time in
the Crecent City.
Mr.. Matthews also expects to
play with the Southern Athletic
Club.

Cut this out and take it to your
druggist and get sample bottle
free of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
They do not ask you to buy before
trying. This will show you the
great merits of this truly wonderful
remedy, and show you what can be
accomplished by the regular size
bottle. This is no experiment, and
would be disastrous to the pro-
prietors, did they not know it would
invariably cure. Many of the best
physicians are now using it in their
practice with great results, and are
relying on it in most severe cases.
1t is guaranteed. Trial bottles free

III Except Dry Goods and Coz
ton Ba&ging.

All Except Dry Goods and Cot
ton Bagging.
The Board of Health of this
town held a meeting Thursday and
adopted the following resolutions
which will prove of great interest to
the people of this town. AS will be
seen from the resolutions all articles,
excepting dry goods and cotton bag
ging, will be received unfumigated.
In the case of cotton bagging a GER
tifcate from the U. S. Marine Ser
vice will be required. The resolu-
tons, as signed by Mayor Caffery,
are as follows:
The following was adopted by
the Board of Health of this town
on Nov. nth inst, and is now in
force:
There being no more yellow fever
in Franklin,
Be it resolved, That the Board
of Health do recommend to the
City Council that quarantine from
this day be raised against Franklin
and the parish of St. Mary.
Be it further resolved, That from
this day quarantine be declared
raised against New Orleans with
the exception of persons and dry
goods and cotton bagging-the
latter may be admitted provided it
is accompanied with proper certi6-
cate of disinfection.

Waterworks and Electric Lights.
Mr.. Pasquier, the contractor, and
the supervising engineer, Mr.. Zell,
have written to the local authorities
to ascertain if they would be ad-
nltted into the town as they desired
to come here to work on the water
works and electric light plants.
Although the authorities are very
anxious to have the work done as
soon as possible they decided to
wait a while before allowing the
New Orleans gentlemen to come in
Only a few weeks will be required
to complete the plants and it is to
be hoped that work will be resumed
at an early day. Had the yellow
fever not caused backset the plants
would, in all likelihood, be ready
for use at the present time. Let us
hope however, that the work will
now go on unhindered by yellow
fever scares, or scares of any kind.

HARRINGroN's MURDERER
Captured-wron Wife In
forms the Authorities.

A special to the Times Democrat
from Abbevflle says: stQuite q
startling Indictment has been
handed in here by the grand jury,
which is now in session. The in
dictment is against Horace Guidry
for the murder of Gus Harrington
about six years ago. The body of
Gus Harrington, who was a very
quiet and peaceable citizen, was
found floating in the Vermilion river
and at the examination it was very
evident that he had been murdered,
but all efforts to find the guilty
party at that time proved futile.
It was noted, however, that soon
after the killing of Harrington
Horace Guidry left his wife and
lived with the widow of Harrington.
Every additional effort which was
made from time to time to find the
guilty party failed, and seemingly
everything was favorable to stamp
ing out the recollection of the MUIR
der until a few days ago, when the
former and much-injured wife Of
Guidry resolved to revenge herself
of the wrong she had been made to
suffer and came forward and made
a clean breast of the whole matter,
declaring that Guidry was the MUIR
derer and that the killing was done
with a Ratchet. Guldry is now in
Jail and will probably be tried dur
ing the present term Of court"

Cor ~LAUR/1V.S ALLEGED
ING.

Poor Gov. McLaurin of Missis.
| ippi seems to have more critics than
any other public official in the
union. Some time ago he was
charged with having left his post OF
duty with indecent haste on account
of the yellow fever scare. Now he
IS accused of having imbibed to
freely of the go be Joyful and OF
having spent few hours in jagful
revelry at quarantine camp. The
governor denies the charge but admits
his fondness for strong drinks. Some
of the brainiest and biggest-hearted
men in this country are victims of
the liquor habit, but despite this
innate weakness, they are as much
above the pharisees who delight in
defaming them as is the Eiffel tower
above a mud fence. There is a
large number of Purists who believe
that by publishing to the world the
.frailties of others they cover up
their own sins and appear clothed
in their pretended holiness.
While we do not think that Gov.
McLaurin has gained anything by
denying the charge of inebriety we
give below what he said to news
paper reporter when interviewed on
the subject of his alleged jag. He
said:
"With deep sorrow and contri-
ton I know that at times have in
dulged too much an appetite for
strong drinks. Against this appetite
/ have striven and prayed to the
Creator, in the name of the Re-
deemer, who said to the accusers of
the poor woman: tHe that is with
out sin among you, let him first
cast stone at her. Usually I do
not drink intoxicants at all but
sometimes in an unguarded moment
the tempter that I had thrust away
from me a thousand times put the
snare to my lips. For this have
drenched my pillow with my tears,
while my prayers implored pardon
at the cross. I desire the prayers
of the good people Of the state, that
may have divine aid in overcoEa
ing sin in every form, and that I
may be faithful to the end"

a Large Stock.

The wide-awake merchant, Leon
Plonsky, who never lets an oppor-
tunity pass to put in a large and
well assorted stock of goods, has
made extensive preparations this
season to supply the people of this
town and parish with anything they
might need in the lines of merchan-
disc in which he deals. His line of
shoes can only be appreciated by a
visit to his store. He is in a
position to suit all of plain and
fastidious tastes. He will sell you
a pair at any price from IS cents to
S.. 90. He sells the justly-famed
demonstrating shoes and he
would like to show them to his Gus
toners. His line of boys suits is
the mobiles. that it is possible to
see anywhere, and his clothing for
grown people is unusually fine and
stylish. In fact everything in his
store has been selected to please
the buyer, who can not fail to be
pleased for variety and quality
are marked characteristics of his
big stock. The ladies, too, will do
we'll to visit this store. In the pur-
chases they have not been forgotten
and their wants have been amply
provided for. So, all, of both sexes
and all ages, are cordially invited to
visit Mr.. Plonsky's store.

Gov. Foster has appointed Mr..

parish to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Mr.. Deshotels. The
Gazette believes the governor has
made a good appointment. Mr..
Frazee is a Democrat and is emil
nently qualified and we have no
doubt that he will make a good
officer. Sheriff Deshotels, Mr..
Traces predecessor, was a good
man and his death is greatly re-
GREETED.

THE SUGAR. ZEAZ and
Pr UPER LABOR.

IN IfEN LA6OH:
A Republican paper says: "The
suear-teats want highly protected
sugar, dago labor at 40 cents per
day and all the Federal Offices in
the State"
The sugar-teat has an unappeasa-
BILE appetite for the good things of
this world and he does not care
whether his neighbor gets any of
tariff on his sugar because he says
he can not compete with the
cheap labor of foreign sugar-pro-
ducing countries. His star argu-
ment is that he pays high wages
for his labor and he is therefore
unable to compete with his foreign
competitor who pays low wages and
is consequently in a position to &C
cept low prices for his sugar. A.
ter he has effectively used his
argument and told the American
people what dreadful thing pau
per labor is, he sends to Italy or
some other famine-stricken land and
brings into this country a lot Of
unwashed, half-naked and hungry
fellows to take the places of home
laborers.
And the sugar-teat is no worse
than the other beneficiaries of the
present Ubiquitous tariff. On the
contrary, he is far better, and is
not half as greedy as the tariff
barous of the East who have grown
immensely rich through the work.

The Fever Situation.

The Fever SituatiO
The news from New Orleans is
most encouraging. A daily decrease
in the number Of new cases shows
the happy effect of the recent cold
weather. A few days more and It
is hoped that the fever will be a
thing of the past. The quarantine
regulations throughout the State are
being gradually relaxed with the
exception of a few towns that are
very much scared or are actuated
by motives of commercial gain. It
is a disgraceful fact and sad COM
mentary on our present civilization
that communities have taken adj
vantage of the misfortune of others
to satisfy morbid appetite for
eebusiness," regardless of the des-
picableness Of the means adopted to
attain the desiled end. During the
crisis which the good Lord is bring
ing to an end, we have seen
towns arrayed against other towns
for purely selfish reasons, re-
minding one of beasts of prey
fighting over little booty.
