ST. JOSEPH. La, FRIDAY, APRIL %, 1897.

From the very tirst the Biggs Ieyee,
short distance below Delta, in Madi-
son parish, has been considered dan
ger spot. The efforts of large force
of men have been concentrated upon 1t
and neither labor nor expense have
been spared in the effort to save 1t. A
note of alarm came that the levee was
sloughing and that there was littl-
hope that 1t could be held through
Friday night. Bnt the army of work
ers even then did not cease their strug-'
gle. They simply redoubled their
efforts. And then at ten o'clock big
chunk-of the levee cayed in and scarce
" before the workmen could get out o.
the way the giant river was tearing the
big enbankment to pieces. In twenty
minutes the break was hundred feet
wide and ever since both ends have
been melting away with alarming rap
idity. The levee was fifteen feet high,
built Of sand, and once broken there
was no possible chance to repair 1t.

Moresaue Bul dings a Mass Of

Moresque Bui dings Mass Of Ruins
One of the most disastrous fires
which has taken place in New Orleans
for many many months occurred about
midday Thursday, and caused damage
estimated at about $3.50, 900. The fire
originated in the magnificent Moresque
building, near Lafayette Square,
structure long considered leading
landmark of the city, aud is supposed
to have been started by an electric
spark from a dynamo in the upho' ster-
ing department of the b. J. Montgom-
cry Furniture Company, limited, on
the third floor of the building. The
large stock OF the furni ure company,
that of Gauche's Sons, dealers in
crockery and chinaware, and the entire
building were destroyed. 1t was i'm
possible to save from the flames but
little except the books of both firms.
The falling of the iron framework of
the building led to the flames spread
ing across Camp street, and carried
down two high walls Of houses on
Church street. Among the places COM
pletely destroyed were the offices and
plants OF the German Gazette (Deutsche
Zeitung), the Evening Telegram, and
James Aiken & Co.. gas g;ters and
plumbers. The Washington nnd Daniel
Boone hotels, Mauberret Printing House
and several other establishments suffer
cd severely from fire and water. Dur
ing the progress of the fire four of the
employees OF theEvening Telegram were
penned up in the upperNory of theil
building. Escape by the stairway wa'

Interferes with an American Steamer

w. N. Lazier, owner of the American
steamer Edith, which fshed off the
North Pacific halibut banks during the

the vessel not to fish off the coast of

beyond the three mile limit. Lazier
says that the other Amerinn fishing
vessels have also been .warnel. He
claims to have reported the matter to

the conditions TO send the vesselsto the
banks. The greater part of the Edith's
batch was shipped from Tacoma to
New York and Boston, The vessel
might be sent out from British Colum-
bia ports under the British flag, bui

But cherished still IN shadow and shine

Here is the couplet, quaint and true:
The rose is red,
The Violets blue
And dream in the cleaning soft and low
OF the lass who penned il long years ago.
a little maid with the bluest eyes,
That ever danced meath winter skies;
A roguish miss whose love was told
To the sound of a kiss in a moonlit wold
But here IS the rest of her rnyming tune:
Love is sweet
And you.
And a boys cheeks flushed at the final lines
OF rustic sweethearts valentine.
Deep in the past. but dimly hid
Behind a soft eyes dropping lid,
Quivers the arrow that Cupid keen
shot at the castle OF might have-been
Ana palmer STILL grows the couplet true
The rose is red,
The violets blue
And laughter low. which is half divine,
nipples across her valentine.
With a cherished thought for the love It told
tenderly open each yellow fold,
And my heart beats fast as IL beat one day
In a past that IS hallowed and far away.

Love is sweet

And sealed with kiss her valentine.

fashionables who are continually telling us
there Is nothing new under the sun some

THE SHORT SKIRT.
This is the era of common sense weather
clothing This statement Is not meant 10
convey the idea that there is anything new
about the weather, because where all kinds
OF weather prevail there is nothing that
can be new. 1t is simply an effort TO con-
vey the fact to the minds of those who
read this story of fashion that the most
fashionable women in the most notable
haunts Of fashion no longer trail their skirts
I'm the slush and mud. In other words, the
short skirt Is really with US, and seems
TO have established a permanent hold on the
minds OF all Of us who are forced 10 con-
fine ourselves solely to feminine attire.
The rainy day skirt and costume which the
Brooklyn New York; Club has brought
into prominence has become to a great ex-
tent familiar TO everyone. But the new
winter and spring arrangement is decidedly
a new departure. and one which We must
all appreciate. What is more disagreeable
than a bedraggled dress and petticoat?
Just at the moment they get in that con-
dition they cling to ones ankles If
evil spirit had taken possession of them
for the especial purpose OF creating dis
comfort. The result-colds, pneumonia,
bronchitis and all the attendant evils. The
rainy day costume is severely plain; that
for winter and spring is as pretty and
fashionable as the most critical modst
could desire. It has no particular mode
which must be followed. but the style may
be whatever the clever dressmaker will de-
eide or the critical patron plan. Therefore
il may be seen that at last the time has ar
rived when one may be both sensible and
fashionable, not TO mention comfortable.
Thus Is a new era ushered in, and verify
Dame Fashion has joined in the march of
progress as a member of the division led
by General Common Sense.

writer was an ancestress OF the family
gathered around the board ana the tea had
been presented TO her by relative just re-

OF the family feared the proportions were
not right and added another bowlful OF tea

had this awful decoction been drunk the

ready, according to these Puritan cooks, the
