large number of people, and at times
there was great enthusiasm over the con-

Each team bowled five strings and
some of the men did pretty work. The
Bangor men were no match for the Port

men from the Forest City were acoompa-

they all had money to wager that their
team would win. Several bets of SIS and
$40 were made on the general result.
The best work for the visitors WAS done

your colors well before sewing them.
Lay the end of one piece fiat on the end
of another. tapping half an inch, and
sew all round the four sids Of your lap,
using No. go threat and running
stitch. Fasten firmly. As you sew the
velvet, satin and thin silk, fold them SO
that both sides may he the saIne. Do not
discard the small pieces. 1t is tiresome
to sew them, but if you uss them Tor

you have several yards sewed begin to

the balls as large as you choose. Now
take your old black silk, Of which very
likely you have good many, pieces, but
before you begin with these buy some

Modes in Hair Dressing.

The principal aim in the present mode
of hair dressing seeing to be to increase
the apparent size of the head, and while

early Victorian mode is very evident in

= The woman with thick, curly and not
very long hair has priceless treasure
with which she can achieve great success
in the fashion of hair dressing, since
the ponpadour effect all around the head
is the first requis.te Of correct couture.
The average woman has long struggle
with the curling irons to accomplish this.

is brushed down little way on each side

knot on top of the head.
Little corkscrew curls are used in vari-
Gus ways to add to the frizZy effect, and
for evening dress the ornamental deco

manner of doing the hair. English

TRIAL or THE BLANC
RP0T HERC

The people of this parish may
congratulate themselves upon the
happy termination of the trial OF
the Blanc brothers.
This verdict which rightfully
sends two youthful, but hardened,
! criminals to the scaffold should be
the strongest kind of proof that
when the people show a disposition
| to assist the officers in the enforce
ment and execution of the laws
there need be no fears of a miscar-
rlage of justice. Why should men
talk of mob rule in country where
the people make the laws and elect
the officers to enforce them? If
citizens do their duty, public
officials will perform theirs.
Let it be said to the credit of
Lafayette parish that from the day
that Sheriff Broussard arrested the
Blanc brothers sentiment in favor
of law and legal execution of the
se]f-confessed murderers made itself
felt everywhere.
A legal trial of the prisoners was
had. There was no hitch in the
proceedings and no unnecessary de-
lay was caused by the disposition
of dilatory motions. The case was
conducted with undoubted fairness
and uncommon promptness and the
verdict was reached after mature
elaboration by twelve good and
true men.
The officers desired to see the
law respected. The people sided
with the officers. Law has tri-
1mphed. Justice has prevailed, and
peace reigns supreme.

The Gazette has entered upon its
fifth year, this being No. Of Vol.

lstence. the paper has prospered.
Its business has steadily increased
since the day that it made its APP
pearance. Every day names are
added to its subscription list, and it
is reasonable to say that before
long the paper will visit every home
in the parish where the English Ian

paid for in cash-we insert no
dead-heads. It is the policy of the
paper to receive pay for its space.
With good list of paying sub
scribers, an increasing advertising
patronage and a fair job trade, The
Gazette enters it's fifth year with no
as to its future.

When the City Item circulated
broadcast over the land the report
that Isaac Broussard, sheriff of
Lafayette parish, was defaultcr,
the Clarion promptly pronounced
the statement a lie. We felt that it
was but thinly disguised scheme
of the Item to murder politically
this gallant and beloved Democratic
leader, schemes that that paper has
been known to resort to on several
occasions. Therefore, we are glad
to be able to give below the result
of an investigation into the matter
by the Lafayette Grand Jury, which
completely exonerates, if such was
needed, the beloved young sheriff
of our sister parish:
'We took special occasion to
make minute Investigation of the
sheriff's accounts both with the par
ish and State, and we are proud to
say to the people of the parish that
the scurrilous article that appeared
in the Daily City Item some time
since, charging the sheriff with de-
falcation of State funds, was and is
absolutely false and libelous.
Sheriff Broussard's accounts not ,
only show that he is in good ac-
count with both State and parish,
out they also show that he has
settled with the auditor for amounts
lue on deduction tax list and holds
he auditors receipts therefor. -

The Citizens Mutual Life Insurance
Co. are doing business upon the princi-
pie that it is always safe to lay by
something for a rainy day, and the
officers of the organization fully appre-
ciate the advantage that will accrue to
the policy-holders by having large
surplus fund set aside for their benefit.
There are always unforeseen emergencies
that occur in every kind of business, and
Life Insurance is no exception to the
general rule. Some epidemic may sud-
denly sweep off thousands of people, who
have their lives insured, in short time,
and only those Companies that have a
reliable surplus fund on hand, are able
to meet the unexpected drain upon
their resources. 1t is in order to meet
such q possible contingency that the
Citizens Mutual have decided to set
aside fifty per cent of their receipts for
the benefit of it's stockholders, and to
use the other fifty per cent in paying the
running expenses, losses, etc. No OBJ
jections were made, by the policy-hold-
