St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1897-11-13

The Washington Parish quaran-
tine is still in force against Cow
ington, although there has been no
sickness here. The reason for this
is that We have not declared guaran-
tine, but all who desire to- do SO
can come here and are welcome.
We understand. that the Washing
ton Parish quarantine allows citi-
xens from that parish to come here,
and return, but our citizens are
not allowed to go there-except
our doctors, and we learn that they
are called upon almost daily to
visit the sick of Washington
Parish, where some kind Of con-
tinued fever exists, attacking
whole families. If there was any
necessity for quarantine, then st.
Tammany should quarantine against
Washington Parish, for we have
no sickness, but it might be brought
here by citizens Of that parish.
We were told that Mr.. Darlington,
who has telegraph line from his
store in Covington to FranliAkton,.
notified the people there that he
would inform them at once, If
even suspicious case made its ape
pearance here, but notwithstanding
this, ] the Connect of that town,
and the Police Jury Of the parish,
proceeded 10 declare quarantine
against us. This is only one in
stance of the senseless guarantees
that have been established through
out the STAKE, during the pres
ent yellow fever scare. The question
arises: Has business interests, or
schemes Of profit and trade, any
thing to do with the establishment
Of these local guarantees. 1t
looks that way.

when our globe pushes across the

the line OF march will be found inn

kept up on the mornings OF the 18th

making their appearance about mid

REMNANT WINNERS.

the Baseball Arena-They're
Boiled Cigarettes.
The employees of the Light have or
ganized a baseball club and are ready
to meet all comers,. composed of EN-
pIoyes of any other establishment in
the city and are particularly anxious
to meet a team composed of employees
of the Daily Express. They have
challenged Duerler's Gum Drops for a
game Sunday, the 18th instant.
The club being composed of very
thirsty crowd they have decided to
play for German contentment only,
key of which is to be on the field for
all players at the close of each game,
the losers to pay the damages.
They are bloodthirsty and are anX-
ious to dangle the scalp of some other
like team to their championship belt
or else lose their own in the attempt.
The following is the roster of the
club:
Pitcher, Simon Veith; catcher, Prof.
Fred Mosebach; first base, the great
and only w. j. Sohl; second base,
Me L W ~. -. pllltl, NlllL u DclStt l4lNNl0
Eddie Lager; short stop, Juan Kup-
pers; right field, Clarence Martin, left
field, Deacon Al. Martin; centre field;
w. T. Schumacher, alias Prof Hennes-
sy, and last, but not least Deacon viii
Mcbride, mascot
Mr.. T. B. Johnson is general manag-
er of the organization and is therefore
entitled to drive the faucet in every keg
tapped by the losers, Gus Wesenbery is
chief roOter and official scorer; Frank
Caldwell is advertising manager and
custodian of refreshments with Harvey
L. Steele as his custodian and chief
COacher, while Uncle Sandy Johnson
will act in the capacity of the clubs
chief fighting man.
Mcbride already has a "'possum"
which will rival Grips" famous ami
NAL to do the hoOdooing to the opposing
team. He will shave one side of the
animal and adorn it with a pair of
spectacles found in a grave yard with
one glass lost, these being the chief
necessities for Transforming the ami
NAL into a jonah for the other fellows
Juan Kupper is always freddy to play
in his favorite game and has a rabbit
foot laid away for the occasion, but
this is nothing out of the ordinary as
w. T. Schumacher, who acts as the
clubs captain has distributed foot to
each member of the team, Bill Sohl
being allowed two, upon promising not
to start singing, while watching the
first bag.
H. c. Schumacher has been appoint
ed as a committee to invent a club
yell, which he will shortly have ar
ranged to music.
The club has selected the name of
the Daily Light Cadets. Any club
wishing a game can be accommodated
by addressing the captain.

1t is quite true, says the Engineering
and Mining Journal, that the kingdom
of Denmark does not possess a very ex-
tended area, but the government, by
building railroads and buying those
built by private enterprise has now sue
ceeded in giving to its inhabitants a
very cheap means of locomotion, and at
the same time owns a valuable asset for
a large amount of its national debt. The
freight rates are already the lowest
known. A bill introduced by the gov
erment proposes. to abolish return
tickets and only to issue direct tickets
between all stations. One will be able
to travel the whole length and breadth
of Denmark third-class for a sum not
exceeding $3.50, and the distance COW
cred is about 500 by 200 miles. This is
a reduction of so per cent.

TO THE POINT.
Dicks Remark After the Accident
Had Happened.


One of the men employed in a GER
tain Yorkshire stone quarry is a man OF
few words. Indeed, his popularity with
his mates has been attributed to the
fact that Dick could never spare enough
words to get up q decent quarrel with
anyone, says Clips.
The other day huge block of stone,
weighing several tons, was being raised
by means of a steam crane. When near
the top the chain suddenly gave way.
Dick was at work go feet below when
tie accident occurred. Fortunately he
realized his danger, though only just
in time, and Cprang from the ledge on
which he stood to another at some dis
lance.
A second later and the huge block was
broken into a thousand pieces on the
solid bed of stone.
Trembling in every limb, the owner
Of the quarry, who had witnessed the
affair, hurried to where Dick was stand
ing and seized him by the hand.
whatever would have happened if
you had delayed your leap a second,
Dick?" he gasped.
The workman glanced back at the
heap of debris on the ledge.
"a funeral" he replied, eoolly Selling
his pick and preparing to resume work.

A FISH'S MEMORY.
German Professor Wants InfOrmn-
ton on the Subject.

ton on the Subject.
We have to live such busy, cyclopaedic
lives nowadays that it is very delightful
sometimes to turn aside into some quiet
corner and watch a specialist at work,
says the Westminster Gazette. 1t may
be only the eye of fly or the digestive
apparatus of caterpillar, but he de-
votes his life to it and thinks nothing of
all the noise and human struggles 60
ing on outside. A German professor,
Ludwig Edinger, is absorbed at present
in the question: "Have fish a memory 2"
and he has written to the Lancet to in
yite information on the subject. 1t
may seem a trivial question and the
brain of fish maybe a very small guam
tity, but a great many little thing in
nature are worth studying, and even if
the problem cannot be solved it will
give a good opening for fish stories.
Every disciple of lZaak Walton will
have something to say and anecdotes
to tell to back his opinions. There are
no fish in the neighborhood of Fleet
street, and, therefore, we cannot try
experiments, and the only contribution
we can make to the discussion is to ask
why anglers have to be so particular
about the make and color of their arti-
fetal flies if fish have no memory. If
fish have vision withouta sense of MEM
DRY surely they would never discrim-
mate between a May fly and a red
spinner and anglers would be saved a
lot of troub1e

THIRTY-TWO CHILDREN.
A Vienna Woman Holds the Materni-
ty Record for Austria.

A Vienna Woman Holds the Materni-
ty Record for Austria.
If any woman ever deserved well of
her country, the lady in question is a
Viennese who has just been described
by DR.. Alois Valenta in the Wiener
Medicinische Wochenscrift. Her mer-
its consist in having given many more
subjects and soldiers to the emperor
than any of his female subjects. OF
course she is poor. AS matter of fact,
she is the wife of needy linen weaver
of Neuerchenfeld, in Vienna, and, if she
did not give her husband big mar
rage portion, she presented him with
no less than 80 children, and she is still
comparatively young, being only in her
fortieth year. She has been themother
of &c boys and 6 girls.
The birth of the 80 childrensoccurred
in this wise, and in the following or
der: At the first birth were born four;
at the second, three; at the third,
four; at the fourth, two;' at the fifth,
three; at the sixth, two; at the seventh,
three; at the eighth, three; at the
ninth, two: at the tenth, three, and at
the eleventh three. The mother nursed
all her children herself Another
strange feature of the case is that the
mother suffered from her fifteenth
year weekly, and sometimes daily, from
epileptic fits, which so far have not
been inherited by the children. She
herself was one of four at birth, and
her maternal parent in her time sue
ceeded in presenting her spouse with no
less than SO children.

SOMETHING TO DEPEND UPON

SOMETHING TO DEPEND UPON.
O. Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm
of Jones & Son, COwden. ILL.,, in speak
ink of DR.. Kings New Discovery. says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with la grippe, and her case grew so
serious that physicians at Cowden
and Pena could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into Hasty Con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took a bottlerhome, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. DIR.

THE COW AND THE CONTINGENT
FUND.
To the Daily Light:

To the Daily Light:
At the last meeting of the city coun-
ell, Alderman Johnson, chairman of
police committee reported on the petit
ton of one Blasso asking pay for a
COW which the expert pound ropers had
killed by breaking her neck. Mr..
Johnson as chairman reported that the
city attorney had decided that the city
was not liable but he left it to the
council to exercise it's generosity. At
ter spending several dollars worth of
valuable time the council decided to
leave ii TO Mayor Callaghan to pay for
the COW out of the contingent fund.
This is the first thing to be paid out
of the contingent fund Cor years that
the public has known anything about.
If the contingent fund is to be used
to pay damage bills that
the city does not owe or that the city
attorney says it does not owe, then it
will soon be too small to order the
drinks on. This COW was killed, 1t
seems, by being roped by city en-
ploye-it does seem that the city was
responsible for the negligence or ex-
cess of its agent, the pound man, who
was in turn resoDsible to the city.
Paying the poor man for his COW was
a good act, and the mayor can do so
out of the peoples contingent fund.
The contingent fund should be done
away with there is no emergency that
cannot be taken care of by the city
council; it has come to be regarded as
a part of the mayors salary. If the
mayor wants to be generous let him
be so at his own expense.
