K,:stnn on July I, under un'isNa'
bright and promising auspices. Ii
suGiccs to say that Mrs. William 5,
the ~<.lnpthcr Of ChautauIra, being
president, it will continue to ,!pi:Oli
the lofty educational IDEAL; with
whic. it was Identified from it.; in
ception. In the language OF its
PROSPECTUS, s.it is needless to dwell
uDon the aim Of he Louisiana Chau-
tal1uua or to recount its history.
Since the first regular session was
he'd in 1892, it has been steadily
gaining in strength and usefulness,
increasing its hold upon the people
Of our State, and making them feel
more and more that its work in ed
ucationa! progress is unique, impor-
tant and worthy Of expansion.

feast that awaits the visitor, we will
mention a few Of the principal tea
lures Of the program. An address
by the president, followed by a
moonlight concert; sermon by Blsh :
op Scssums; lecture, Dir. Dixon,

ripest scholars and most eloquent
speakers in America, will deliver an

Robert T.. Lee; literature as history,
Prof. Alphonso Smith; on the 1Ith
of Tulv Gen. John b. Gordon of
Georgia will deliver his lecture,
sThe First Days Of the COnfederaCy;'
there is only one Gen. Gordon, and
comment would be like adorning
the lily and painting the rose; the
general will deliver his other famous
lecture, "The Last Days Of the
Confederacy" For lack Of space
we will not give all the program,
but we will state that the whole ses-
sion will be one continuous intel
Iectual treat. The course Of in
struction will embrace lectures in
art, language, grammar, English lit
crature, rhetoric. Latin. Greek,
French, history, civil government,

4 RISCILLI /CB.

The sugar manufacturers Of the
Hawaiian Island are very much in
favor Of annexation. They want a
free market for their sugar. They
have maintained lobby at Wash
ington to promote the annexation
scheme, but they are trying to con
ceal their game by pretending to be
prompted by patriotic feeling.
They are very solicitons for the
safety Of the nation and they advo-
cate annexation because, they say,
we must have an island somewhere
in the Pacific to use in case OF
foreign attack. In view of the fact
that Uncle Sam has been getting
along admirably we'll all these years
without an island, no one, except
ing those pccuniariiy interested IN
this scheme, can understand TINS
great necessity for an island which
has so suddenly dawned upon the
minds of the ahneNationlsts.
There is another class Of patriots
who are bowling for annexation.
They, too, want an island for Uncle
Sam in the event Of a foreign war.
They have gotten to be SO terribly
1atriotic they are spending large
sums Of money to convince Con-
gress Of the necessity Of having the
Hawaiian Island \ little invcsti-
cation has disclosed the informal
ton that these rabld anneNat!onlSts
arc not in this business either
through patriotism or for their
health. They hold several millions
of Hawaiian bonds, which accounts
for their cagerness in this matter.
Champ Clark IN the course OF an
able speech, delivered in Congress a
few days ago in opposition to an
nexation, had this tu say about this
infamous bond speculation:
..Nhy is this n:onT;r"us proposition made?
Let us be plain and state The 'tuil though
it shame the devil. This crime against free
.,uv.rntnen, j. to lac coul,il,,cd for three
IcaSnns:
.-Ecca,,sc some S5.opr.ooo of Hawaiian
bonds have been sold in tAil '"u;'try 4;
a,o,,: 20 cents on th.. dollar. W. are H,!<: :
10 guarantee the payment of -. 900 OF
these bonds. The moment ~c annex tnG
islands those h0n'!s will soar I" Par and
cert ain favored patriots possessed of l!is! !:
information will! reap profit "f ~ cents
for every 50 cents invested, making t't:1'
<,f s.. 500 opo--a very c.,InfurtaDic ncst c.,,.,
o have in the farllfy.'
The whole thing is q rasca'ly JOB,
without a single rcdeemi"g feature.
Itis a dastar'ly conspiracy entered
into by the sugar nilionaircs, bond
spectators and unscrupuious po''-
ticians. But strange to say some
Democrats are to be found assisting
the Republicans in carrying out
this disgraceful Job.

To Build u Church..

The lady members Of the Episco-
pal church in Lafayette met this
week and deci.!eu to raise the funds
necessary to build a church. AL
ready quite j handsome amount has
been donated and the ladies have
met with nu h encouragement.
Ihcy have agreed to give number
Of fairs the first OF which viii take
place next Jhur*s!ay evening at the
ho1.i,. q: Dr. y. i. Moss, where re
frcs:lnrnls and cakes will be served
at very reasonable rates.
The ladies Of the Episcopal
church should be assisted in their
lauuab!c efforts to Secure for them =
selves L place Of worship. \ town
can give no better evidence of its
Lrogressivcnes than by contributing 8
liberally toward the building and
maintenance Ct churches. If those
den oulinations which already have
their churches will extend to the
ladies Of the Episcopal church the
support to which they are entitled,
1T will not be long before they will
have succeeded in raising enough
money to build their church.

TIE NEiF .SUNDL Y Law
The Skelly bill, which has passed
the lower House Of the State Legis-
lature, will, shoult! it go through the
Senate and receive the governor ;
signature, do away with some OF the
obnoxious features of the Sunday
law in New Orleans and Shrevc-
Dort--the only cities in the State
which can show Il population Of
over 20, 900 souls.
Unler the proposed measure the
country parishes will nave to endure
all the oppressive, absurd ail'i IN
,opnIa: provisions OF the law, while
New Orleans amt Shreveport Will be
the only bvncl!ciar;cs.
Why the Legislature should be
willing to give to the people OF the
cities Il more liberal Sunday law
an, deny it to the parishes, Is pref
~ hard 20 say. If the Skcl'y law
is Il good thing for the city, it IS
)
people Of Lafayette arc no more in
favor Of the Sunday law than those
Of New Orleans, and they are en-
titled to the enjoyment Of the same
rights.
Mr.. Marks p opposition for local
option would have given a solution
Of the whole matter. Those par
ishes which arc opposed to the law
are not at all anxious to force it up
on Others Mr.. Marks desired to
give each parish the privilege of de-
Gliding the question for itself, and
surely no one should object to this.
Under the Ske!ly bill! citizen
of New Orlcsns and Shreveport will
be able to sell a cigar on Sunday
without becoming a law breaker,
but not so in Lafayette or New
Iberia. Here he Will be violating
a law and will become a criminal
The Orleanlan will be able to take
beer at the restaurant instead of
c'aret, but the New 1berian or the
Baton Rougean will be compelled to
drink wine or water with his dinner.
The Skelly law may do a great
deal toward relieving New Or
leans of the evils resulting from an
unpopular law, but i! offers no So
luton of this veNing question to the
people of the towns and parishes.
