A picked nine of Lafayette boys
went to St. NIartinville last. Sunday
and played a game of ball with a
team from that place, resulting in a
a score of II to Is in favoriof the

WHAT USED UP STA H.
TER'.S ARMY

WHAT USED UP SHAF
ZER'.S ARAHY
Daily Picayune: 49,.
f. General Shafter, in recounting in
a report to the President the hard
ships through which his army
passed, said:
What put my command in its present con
dition was the twenty Gays of the campaign,
when they had nothing but meat, bread and
coffee, without change of clothes, without
any shelter whatever, and during the period
twice stormy as it has been since the sur
render.
Such statement makes many of
the Confederate veterans of the
Civil War smile. They can recall
that, for the greater part Of the last
three years of their service, they
bivouacked, winter and l;summer,
under the sky They had no tents,
and met snow and rain with no
other shelter than could be con-
structed with blanket and few
fence rails. AS for change Of
clothes, that was luxury rarely en-
joyed. And how the starving SOL
diers at Santiago must have suffered
on a steady diet of meat, bread and
coffee! In comparison with the
luxurious fare of the Confederates,
the Santiago menu makes a poor
shows If General Shafter had only
fed his men on parched corn and
water every few days, he would
have brought them out of their trOu-
bles. But it is mighty rough on
soldiers who have to live twenty
days on meat, bread and coffee.
The mule meat and corn dodgers
fed to the defenders Of Vicksburg
for months, in 1868. make luxuri-
Gus fare compared with what Shat
ter's men had to subslst on.

Mr.. Walter Saxon, of New Or

Mr.. Walter Saxon, of New Or
leans, Is evidently not an adnirer
of the Cuban revolutionists. If
the Cubans are half as bad as des-
embed by Mr.. Saxon they are GER
,ainly not worth fighting for. Gen.
S. b. M. Young, who has also paid
a visit to the island, gives very
gloomy picture Of the insurgents.
The picture may be overdrawn, and
we are inclined to think that it is.
Gen. Young says! r~
ssThe insurgents are a lot Of degeneratcs,
absolutely devoid of honor gratitude.
They are no more capable of selt-govern-
ment than the savages of Africa. They are
mixture of negroes, Spanish, Italian and
Indian, and inherit the bad qualities of all.
The United States cannot afford to turn
Cuba over to the Cubans. They would loot
everything in sight and then start in and
rob one another. Most of the leaders of
the so-calic4 Cuban army Adventures,
ready to sacrifice everybody and everything
to futher their own personal ends. 1t is my
opinion that few of them would hessi.ate to
sell out to the Spaniards if fully couvlnced
that the United States is not going to deliver
the island over to them We should never
turn that beautiful and rich island over to n
lot of degenerates who not capable of

CORRESPONDENT
TROUBLE.

Oar friend, r. J. Liable, local
correspondent Of the Times-Demo
crat at St. Martinville, got himself
into a peck Of trouble He re-
ported the mysterious killing of a
negro which occurred in the vicinity
of Breaux Bridge a few nights ago
EIe stated in his telegram that the
killing was done in Breaux Bridge,
not thinking that he was in any
manner rejecting upon the good
people of Breaux Bridge or damag-
ing the fair name of that community
in the eyes Of the world. But the
way they jumped on our friend was
a caution. We are glad to say,
however. that he escaped with life
and limbs. They fell on him like
a thousand bricks and threatened
to make mince meat with him if did
not show to an expectant world that
Breaux Bridge had been maligned
in a most outrageous manner. The
idea of negro being killed in
Brcaux Bridge, and by regulators at
that, was something unheard of,
and if allowed to pass unchallenged
would surely stop the flow of iinmi-
grafton now pouring into that part
of Uncle Sans domain.
We read in the Valley that a rous-
ing mass meeting was held to protest
against the onslaught unintentional-
ly made on the good name of the
town. At this spontaneous convo-
cation of indignant citizens resolu-
tons were adopted proclaiming a
solemn and defiant protest against
any false impressions that might
have been created abroad by Mr..
Labbe's special, stating that the
killing had actually occurred in the
town. Such impressions, if was
held, would check the nascent
growth of Breaux Bridge and cause
irremediable injury to it's reputation
as moral and law abiding commu-
nifty.
The Gazette thinks that the peo-
pie of Breaux Bridge were unneces-
sarily alarmed, and instead. of at
tanning the object in view, they
have given publicity to the fact
that a negro was killed in or near
their town, and have done the very
thing for which they wanted to an

The POSt.Ohico.

Paul Demanade has been ap1
pointed by President Mckinley
postmaster for Lafayette. Mr..
Demanade was postmaster under
Harrison's administration and dur
ing his tenure of esoffice the postal
service at this place was all that
could be desired. Hence the salts
faction with which the news of his
appointment was received. He was
highly recommended by people of
this town regardless of political af-
filiations. The most conclusive
proof of the character of his recon-
mendations is his appointment. There
we're several applicants for the posi-
tons among whom were Messrs. J.:
NJ. Jones, Felix SALES, G. M. Park
erson and DR.. Guidry, all Promi-
nent Republicans, and the fact that
Mr.; DemaI1ade's claims upon the
office were recognized over SO many
others with strong backing, is re-
garded by his friends as compli-
ment not only to: his qualifications
but to his Republicanism as we'll.
Mr.. Demanade is essentially an orr
ginai Mckinley man. Long before
the present chief executive was NOM
mated for the presidency Mr..
Demanade pointed to him as the
Moses that would lead the :Republl-
can hosts out Of the wilderness. --,''
The outgoing postmaster, Chas.
O. Mouton and his assistant, Joe
F. Mouton, have every reason to
be proud OF the very satisfactory
manner they have administered the
duties incumbent upon them during
their term of Office. They have
looked after Uncle Sans interests
with unremitting attention, at the
same time giving the people thor
ough and efficient SERVICE.
The Gazette does not know if the
postofice will remain where it is or
whether it will be removed else
where. A petition has been circu-
lated by persons living and doing
business in the vicinity of the
present location asking the iaoom-
ing postmaster not to make any
changes. We are informed that
citizens living near the, depot are
very anxious to get the post-offlce
and will make their wishes known
at the proper time. Folks around
the courthouse would not object to
having the post office somewhere in
their neighborhood and 1T is not
altogether improbable that they
will soon be circulating a petition.

"a young lady in New York was in the
habit Of writing on the subject OF intemper-
enee Her writing was full Of path"s and
evinced such deep emotion of soul that
friend accused her OF being maniac on the
subject Of incompetence, whercupon she
wrote the following touching lines:
-'' co FEEL WHAT 1 HAVE FELT.
Go feet what I have felt,
: Go bear what have borne
Sink meath a blow father dealt,
And the cold worlds proud scorn;
Then suffer on from year to year
Thy sole relief the scoEching tear.
Go kneel As, I-haSe knelt
-Implore, beseech and pray
Strive the besotted heart to melt: So. .s

Be dashed with bitter curse aside.
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears deHed.
Go weep as have wept,
Ger loved fathers fall;
See every promised blessing swept

And her crushed bosom cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide,
Wipe from her check the bitter tear;
Mark her worn frame and whitening brow;
The gray that streaks her dark hair now;
With fading frame and trembling limb,
And trace che ruin back to him
Whose pllghted faith in early youth
Promised eternal love and truth;
But who foresworn had yielded up
That promise to the maddening cup,
And led down through love and light
And all that made her promise bright,
And chained her there mid want and strife,
That 1owIy thng-a drunkard's wife
And stamped ON childhood's brow SO mild,
That whitening blight, the drunsard' s child
Go hear, and feel, and see, and know
All that my soul has felt and known;

See If its beauty can atone
Think if its favor you can try,
When all proclaim tits drink and die?

p .--. Neurological.
Miss Lillian Anna Mouton, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Maurice Mou-
ton, died at the residence of her
parents last Monday morning at
the age of fifteen years. Her ILL.
ness was of short duration and her
unexpected death shock of sur
prise and deep regret to her m1ny
friends. But during this time, and
to the last moment, She enjoyedethe
sweetest of ell blessings-the tender
slove and care Of an affectionate
mother. Surrounded by relatives
,and friends, as death slowly crept
Apon her, she meekly bowed her
head and answered the call of her
Maker, and she now sleeps the sleep
from. which none ever wakes to weep.
Although she received the unceasing
love and care of all, and all the
good that science could do, the
black wolf knelt at her gate and ere
the sun reached its meridian that
day, the maiden breathed her last.
A precious one has parted from the
family, voice they loved is stilled,
and a place is vacant in their home
which never can be filed. How
hard it seems to be thus torn apart
SO young from the pleasures of this
world and the comforts of home?
Still, in her narrow cell she finds
home which surpasses in grandeur
any ever wrought by the hand of
man the: most beau,if~>,: home
which nature can afford. =.
Amlable and affectionate this
estimable young lady had won the
esteem and friendship not only of
her schoolmates but of all wEo
knew her. All that was mortal of
her was consigned to- 1.-The. tomb,
where large concourse Of friends
paid a beautiful tribute Of respect 20
her memory. Miss Anna will be
sincerely mourned by many friends
who keenly. feel the. bio W inflicted
by the ruthless hand of Death, and
whose heartfelt: sympathy goes out
to the grief-stricken family.
