A sFirSt.ClaSS Hotel.

A circular addressed to this
paper brings the information that
extensive improvements and re-
pairs have been made to the Dene-
chaud Hotel of New Orleans. The
Denechaud is deservedly one of the
most popular hotels in the Crescent
City. The genial manager, Justin
Denechaud, has many friends
through out Louisiana who will be
pleased to learn of this marked
evidence of prosperity of the Deue-
chaud Hotel For the people from
the parishes, this hotel is an ideal
place. Although devoid of osten-
tation, it gives to its guests all the.
comforts offered by more preten-
tious competitors--to say nothing
Of the difference in the rates. The
Gazette would advise its readers to
stop at the Denechaud when visit
ing New Orleans. 1t is conducted
on both the Ameri AN and Euro
lsean plaus-just as you wish.

INGERSOLL ON WOMAN.

ftIt is not necessary to be great
to be happy; it is not necessary to
be rich to be just and generous and
to have a heart filled with divine
affection. No matter whethe, you
are tich'or poor, use your wife as
though she were a splendid creation,
and woman will fill your life with
perfume and joy. And do you
know it is a splendid thing for me
to think that the woman you really
love will never grow old to you.
Through the wrinkles of time,
through the music of years, If you
really love her, you will always see
the face you loved and won. And
a woman who really loves a man
does not see that he grows older;
he is not decrepit; he does not trem-
BILE; he is not old; she always sees
the same gallant gentleman who
won her hand and heart. 1 like to
think of it in that way; like to
think of all passions, love is eternal,
and as Shakespeare says, although
time with his sickle can rob ruby
and sparkling eyes, let him reach as
far as he can, he can not quite
touch love, that reaches even to the
end of the tomb And to love in
that way and then go down the hill
of life together, and as you go down,
hear, perhaps, the laughter of
l~h
and love will sing once more in the
leafless branches Of age. I believe
IN the freside. I believe in the
democracy of home. I believe in
1 believe in liberty and equality with
those we love.
II despise stingy man. I don't
see how it is possible for man to
die worth fifty millions Of dollars or
ten millions of dollars, in a city full
of want, when he meets almost
every day the withered hand of beg
gary and the white lips of famine.
How a man can withstand all that,
and hold in the clutch of his greed |
twenty or thirty millions of dollars, |
is past my comprehension. do
not see how he can do it. I should |
not think he could do it any more !
than he, could keep a pile of lumber
we're hundreds and thousands of
men were drowning in the sea. I
should not think he could do it.
Do you know I have known men
who would trust their wives with
their hearts and their honor, but
aot with their pocketbook; not with
l dollar. When l see man of
hat kind I always think he knows
which of these articles is the most
valuable.
"Think of making your wife a
beggar! Think of her having to
ask you every day for dollar, or
or two dollars, for fifty cents

VIII Hang.

Joseph T. Timberlake who kill ed
Constable Baltic at Alex andria last
June was found guilty of murder as
charged, which means death by
hanging. The killing of Constable
Baillio is said to have been a most
ld-blooded murder. Mr.. Hun
ter, Undertakes attorney, has
stated that he will appeal to the
supreme court for a new trial on
three bills of exception.

ton it shall be judged by the
present and future generations.
In the past it has been the only
party worthy of the respect and
confidence of the white men of the
South, and it is not strange that at
this time the people of Louisiana
look to it for relief; it, alone,
can give relief; it, alone, should give
relief

THE CONFERENCE
that Quarantine
be Raised on November rs.

| recommends that Quarantine
be Raised on November rs.
| Delegates representing the health
authorities of Thibodaux, Franklin,
Patterson, Baldwin, Morgan City,
New Iberia, Loreauville, st. Mar
tinville, Lafayette, Jeanerette, Belle
Place and other points in South
west Louisiana held conference
| here Wednesday evening to take steps
toward the modification or repeal of
the existing quarantine regulations.
DR.. Alf Duperier, Of New Iberia,
called the meeting to order. He
explained the object of the meeting
and called upon DR.. F. S. Mudd,
of the Lafayette board, to act as
chairman. DR.. Il. J. Liable, of
St. Martinville, was elected secre-
tary.
DR.. Carter, of the U. S. Marine
Hospital Service, being present was
called upon to give his views on
quarantine matters. The doctor
stated that it is his opinion that
while yellow fever could yet be in
troduced into non-infected com
munity there was not the remotest
danger of it being spread. He
made a very sensible and practical
talk and recommended the adop-
ton of the following resolutions
which were presented by DR.. Labbe:
Moved that all quarantine be
raised for passenger and freight
traffic on the 18th instant; that
passengers be admitted from New
Orleans and other infected points,
provided they hold certificate
that they have been away ten days
from premises in which there has
been yellow fever.
Recognizing the transportation
or handling OF second hand goods
from any locality infected during
the past epidemic as the greatest
source of danger to be guarded
against in the future to prevent the
Introduction of yellow fever next
we especially urge the con-
stituted auth critics of the various
parishes to enact ordinances pro-
hibiting the transportation, sale or
handling at any time during the
years 1897 and 1898, of second !
hand goods of any description from
any point lately infected, such as
uph olstered furniture bedding, |
blankets, pillows and mattresses,
featherbeds, old chests or drawers
or other secondhand furniture;
rugs curtains, etc., as we'll |
as secondhand clothing of any !
description.
The above resolutions were |
adopted. TO become effective they !
will haye to be ratified by the health
authorities Of the various parishes.
The chair was authorized to APP
point committee to communicate
With the authorities of Calcasieu
relative to a modification of their
quarantine regulations. The chair
appointed on this committee: Drs.
Smlth, Iuyther and HeWcS.
DR.. Duperier then introduced
he following resolutions which
we're unanimously adopted by the

CONSTITUTIONAL CON-
TENZZON.

the people of this section of thu
State appear Indifferent in regard &c
the holding of the constitutions
convention.
Since the overthrow of carpet
baggism in Louisiana the people Of
this State have not been called upon
to decide a question so vital and
important to their general welfare.
BY force of arms the decent white
people of the State redeemed their
government from the hands of
thieves. They then placed men of
their own choice in charge of the
public business and established a
government, which, though not
perfect, is immeasureably better
than the one whose affairs were adj
ministered by a shameless gang of
public robbers. For years it was
easy for the better element of the
whites to remain in power. They
united under the banner of the
Democratic party and downed the
old enemy without half trying.
1 JIG SO1A pun "iiCH P4CFdAlSu
under Republican administrations
was still fresh in the minds of the
white voters, and few were they
who were so forgetful of the recent
past as to align themselves with
those who had not only robbed
them with impunity, but had COM
United outrages of most humilia-
ting nature. There were men in
Louisiana who did not believe in
the economic policies of the Demo-
cratic party, but knowing from
experience the results of Republi
can ascend"ncy, they could not
afford to become the allies of ad-
-venturous scoundrels like Kellogg
and Warmoth, and they continued
to vote with the Democrats and
helped to maintain the Democratic
party in power. For a number of
years they gave their undivided
support to the Democratic party
and rejoiced in its victories. |
Upon not few Of them the party
bestowed high honors. But stead |
lily and gradually they were drawned |
away from the party that had been
the means of making this country |
a fit habitation for the respectable |
white man and his wife and
children. At first they timidly de-
clared themselves advocates of
protection and Capitalization.
Their next step was to proclaim
themselves National Republicans
and State Democrats. Some time
after a bounty on sugar caused
them to become holder and they
threw off their disguise and doomed
up as full-fedged Republicans, ad-
of a high tariff, bounty,
force bills and negro political
equality. They turned their backs
On their old friends and espoused
new Ones They formed combina-
lions with the devils of reconstruct
lion and, under the leadership Of
IN old bewiskered man with more
money than brains, made ire
nendous fight to overthrow Demo-
cratic government and white rule.
But although deserted by many of
is trusted friends, the Democratic 1
oarty was retained in uthority and :
hank God it is there yet.
That struggle which took place |,
wo years ago has served as a warn $
ng to the Democrats of this State. 7
The results of that election should c
'e a danger signal to the Democratic
'arty. The unity of the white ..
'eople which made Republican suc-i +
:ess an impossibility in the past is h
ut to be depended upon in the t
uture. The white people are
divided and the handwrit-
ng is on the wall that if the negro I,

A deposit of most remarkable mud
discovered in Indiana, has of recent
years been attracting widespread at
tention. 1t is located at the Indiana
Mineral Springs, Warren County, and
has been formed by the action of the
water from the famous Magno-Lithia
springs. Through countless ages the
foliage of magnificent oaks on the hill
side has annually fallen into basin,
and has been reduced by nature into a
pure black earth unmixed with roots,
stones or sand. The water from the
big spring for thousands of years has
been soaking this deposit and saturat-
ing it with mineral salts. until now
there is a layer of medicated mud
about two acres in extent and from
ten to twenty feet in thickness
The strange medicinal value OF this
peculiar, black, porous substance wal
accidentally discovered by an Old sol
der, Sam Story, who had brought
rheumatism home from the war anC
suffered with it for years. He was at
tempting to dig a drainage ditcl
through the mud deposit, and after
| indulging in this useless experiment
for week or more, gave up the idea
but meanwhile had been cured of hi
rheumatism.
The fame OF the mud began tt
spread, and afflicted congregated a
the Springs from everywhere TIL,
method of using the mud was at frs
very primitive, the patient merely sit
ting down in the deposit where nature
had laid it But since then improve
ments have been made, beautiful
hotel erected, and the mud bath de
veloped into a luxurious experience
