was found that with this total weight
the detection in the center was only
about tifteen-sixteenths of an inch.
The main span of the arch is $50 feet

THE Paris papers are probably a
little premature in supposing that the
alliance with Russia means that that
power will help France to recover
Alsace and Lorraine. Russia may be
the means or medium of bringing
about the restoration to France OF
those provinces, through purchase,
but never by force, for the French
press should remember that Russia is
almost if not quite as strongly allied
to Germany as to France.

since in the "Globe Democrat" for
another tourist-car route between

miles: and at the same termini wi be
made up over the Pennsylvania COM
pany's line Pittsburg to St. Louis, the
Missouri Pacific to Colorado Springs,
and thence over the Colorado nj dlaud,
Rio Grande and Southern Pacific to
San Francisco, the distance figuring
1854 miles, or nearly 1000 miles less
than the longest route. Heretofore a
change of cars has been required at
Chicago or ST. Louis on the journey
between the Atlantic and Pacific.
The extension of the through tourist
service nearly 500 miles farther east
ward is an encroachment on establish
ed principles of operation, says the
''Railway Age" which may eventually
be carried still farther east, and pos
sibly may similarly affect the runs of
standard sic epers. But at present the
rules of the Joint Traffic association
prohibit the running of tourist cars
from New York, and there seems to
be no demand or reason for lengthen
ing the alre ady long runs of the first
class cars.

1t is always painful to beg even if it
be for so noble and worthy cause as
the drouth sufferers of the Northwest
ern parishes of the State. How
refreshing it is to hear of one who
does not wait TO be asked, but simply
comes forward to offer his gife. Such
was the case OF Henry Yoste, the trusty
jeweler of Vicksburg. who heard last
Saturday that the Providence ladies
were getting up an entertainment for
the benefit OF the drouth suffers, asked
Mr.. Ransdell to present them with q
gold headed cane to be disposed OF for
the benefit Of the sufferers as the ladies
would think best.

Mr.. Dan O'Sulivan, one of the high
ly respected citizens of our town, died
on Sunday morning last at Q O'Clock
and was laid away in the Providence
Cemetery in the evening.
Mr.. O'Sullivan had been almost an
invalid for sometime past, and it was
known by his many friends thati ii was
only question of short time when
he would be called before his Maker.
During his entire sick ness there wac
never heard one complaint fall from
bis lips, and it was always with joy.
full smile that he would greet his
friends when they dropped in to see
him.
lie was q Knight Of Pythias in
every sense of the word, aud loved the
order with true devotion. His lodge
paid the last tribute OF respect to bic
memory.
He leaves a devoted wife and three
sons and q daughter to mourn his
death, who have the sympathy and
coincidence in this hour of their sad
affection.

The entertainment gotten mp by the
ladies on Tuesday evening was one OF
the most successful of it's kind ever
given in our town, aud shows what
they can do when they make up their
minds to do anything. II was only
last week that the ladies decided on
the entertainment and they went to
work with a will, and made it sue
cess in every particular. The amount
realized through their efforts was the
nice sum of $212l0, besides two large
boxes of clothing previously sent,
valued at fully $4,000, making total
of $512.10.
Our town ladies deserve a great deal
of praise for their noble work, aud
they should be long remembered by
the drough sufferers of Northwest
Louisiana.
