The First Communion.

At seven o'clock Tuesday morn
ing an army of nearly half a thou
sand children marched in process
sion from the Convent of Mercy to
tho Catholic Church in perfect or
der, under the charge of the good
Sisters of Mercy, carrying the
banners of the different relegi-
GUS associations to which the chill
dren belong.
The boys were all dressed in
black and the girls in white, all
holding in their hands wax tapers,
which made pretty sight.
The children in military order
entered the church by the three
aisles.
All the pretty things of the
church were out, and the decora-
tions were many ard brilliant.
Two hundred and fifteen pure
little souls were made happy by
receiving their first communion
with all the splendor and brillian-
cy of this. one of the greatest
events of the Catholic church,
which was made the more impress
sive by the sweet music of the
Excelsior string band.
Archbishop Janssens arrived in
the evening but being unwell only
made few remarks to the large
number of children who awaited
his arrival. The next morning the
Archbishop administered confir-
nation to $50 children.
Rev. Father Langlois was assis-
ted by the following priests: Z.
FORCES and j. Bollard. of Lafay-
cite, B. Branche of Rsyne, Jos.
Peters of Jennings, A. Borias of
Breaux Bridge, NJ. Bardi of Jean
nerette, A. Blanc of Grand Point.
Felix Rumpf Of st. Leo, j. Trai-
nard of New Iberia and Hays of
st. Martinville.
The handling of such a large
number of children in a crowded
church was a difficult matter, but
every thing was carried on with a
system that does credit to the
priests and the sisters who con-
Quoted the ceremony.
1t was indeed day that will
long be remembered by the chill
dred as the happiest day of their
lives.

ALONE AT THE TOP
SOLID FACTS WHICH HAVE A WORLD
OF MEANING.

OF MEANING.
Deserved success always commands
the respect and admiration of the peO-
pie. The man, the machine. the medi-
cine doing greater and better things
! than others can do, wins fame and 20
pularity. A thing which proves over
and over again its power to do that
which it promises to do is sure of the
abiding confidence of mankind. An ar
ticle which stands out in the full light
of great success, unapprOached by all
competition. is permanently fixed in the
minds of men as honest and reliable.
Look at the magnificent success Of
that sterling preparation. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. To what is this great success
due?
Think Of the facts. First, there is the
great Laboratory Of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
II is a building which contains over
three acres of floor space. and it Is the
largest structure in the world devoted
exclusively to the business of proprie-
tary medicine. What does this fact
mean? 1t means that the business Of
making aud selling Hoods SarsaparilIa
is of immense proportions.
Next, there are the cures. by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. These cures have been
spread before the world. year after year
they are known to be true, genuine, I'M
impeachable facts. They are numbered
by thousands. Every mail brings in
these wonderful reports of cures BY
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Letters are also
being received. from time to time. from
people who were cured many years ago
and now write to say the cures are per-
manent-that when once the offending
impurities which caused their suffering,
have been driven from the blood by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. there is no return
of the disease. No other has such q re.
cord of cures as Hoods Sarsaparilla,
Third, look at the advertising of Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t does not deceive the
people. 1t tell what Hoods sarsaparills
has done and what it will do. We do
not claim for Hoods Sarsaparilla any
instantaneous, miraculous effect. It is
scientific preparation, compounded BY
experienced pharmacists, for exactly the
purpose for which it is advertised. and
for which it has proved wonderfully sue.
cessful. namely, to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood.
This. in short. is the true reason for
the great cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The blood is the life. Therefore, life.
health. and happiness depend upon tho
condition of the blood.

SATURDAY JUNE 5, 1897.
Will Not HOll The Messenger,


Our esteemed contemporary The
Lafayette Gazette is right when he
says Immortal fame awaits the
founder of the political party that
will hold the editor of the Messen-
ger"
The political parties Of the pre-
sent time are not based on princi-
piles as in bygone days, but they
are mass of confusion, trick and
rascality, and this is particularly
30 with the Democratic party
which is in this age of civilization
and progress, split in more than
two, not on questions of princi-
Piles, but on account of the greedy
grab for the spoils.
The Messenger believes in pro-
lection, yes it believes in protec-
ton that will protect all that
grows in st. Martin parish in par
ticular, and all that grows in all
other parishes and states of this
broad american land.
The Messenger believes in the
protection of American labor, in
.dustry and in the protection of all
that is American. The Messenger
believes that protection is due to
our citizens, their labor, their in
dustry, their home and their H.
berty.
Does your great Democratic
party accord these privileges to
the American citizen, brother
Mouton? If we are to believe
some of your own people who call
themselves Democrats, it does not,
because under the Democratic
rule of our state government both
factions claims that fraud was
committed against one another
right in the town of Lafayette. Is
this not contrast from the party
that the Messenger dreams of,
when every American citizen will
come to the poll as free citizen
and cast his ballot for the candi-
date of his choice?
All the political parties of this
great country or more or less cor
rupt, and will resort to all tricks
to gain possession of the govern
ment machinery, and as long as
they will remain in this condition
they will certainly not hold the
Messenger, because we believe in
a party that will be of the people
and for the people, that will pro-
tect them in all their industries
and IN their freedom, and that will
preach and teach honesty to the
growing generation, and not try
to establish and perpetuate fraud
and corruption as it exist today in
our political organizations.
Now. Brother Mouton, will you
not agree with the Messenger that
our political parties of this day
are not fit to hold any man who is
truly American, unless he be a
blind partisan or spoil grabfer.

TORIES OPPOSED him.
Sir Edward Clarke, NJ. p, Stands
Up for Ireland.

London, Jan. 4.-Sir Edward Clarke,
NJ, p, formerly solicitor general, who, it
will be recalled, caused much indignation
among the Conservatives some time a go, by
declaring that Great Britain's claims in
the Venezuela matter We're untenable, has
again made a pronouncement that meets
with much opposition among lie Tories.
Sir Edward today delivered a speech at
Plymouth, which place he represents i'll
the House Of Commons. In the course OF
his address he took occasion to refer to
the claim OF the Irish that they are over
taxed to the amount of about -, 100000
yearly, and to their dCIua nd that taxation
be reduced ana restitution made of the
excess of taxes collected during the past
forty years or So
After referring to the commission of the
financial relation between Great Britain
and Ireland, which recently submitted a
report favoring the Irish contention, Sir
Edward said he could not hesitate TO ac-
cept the decisions on matters of fact of
such a strong commission.
