The fact that the bubonic pla-
que has appeared i'll Vienna, Aus
tria, may well send a thrill of
horror and fear throughout the
civilized world. OF late years
the dread disease has practically
been confined to India, but at
certain periods in the past it has
literally decimated Asia and
Europe, it's ravages being worse
than those of cholera. The pro-
gress of "the black death,' as it
is familiarly termed in India, will
be watched with intense interest
by everybody.

An admiring Esculapian friend
contributes the following:

Miss Sarah Brown of Carencro,
returned to her home after a
pleasant stay with her friend Miss
Comeau. Miss Brown is a highly
accomplished organist and gave a
classical recital to few friends
last Wednesday. Her technique
is perfect as evidenced by her rem
dition of ''Danse Macabre," and
her expression is sweet and SYM
pathetic, as shown in the recital
of the overture from the "Poet
and Peasant" and the "Rhapsodie
Hongroise" by List.

The Possibilities of Opelousas.

| We often sit in wonderin!
maze cogitating the possibilitie
of our charming and lovely vii
iage. For a century of years
has stood on one Of the most eli
gible locations on the surface O
the Western hemisphere. Their
are no bodies of stagnant water:
near to poison the air, and infus,
malaria. The alterations of tht
seadpns, afford no extremes OF
heat, and cold. The land anC
Gulf breezes whisper over all the
surrounding meadows and land.
scapes, and the cyclones of the
sea shore, are unknown. The
soil is generous in producing
great varieties of staple necessi.
ties, vegetables and fruits, and
yet the surfeit of plenty, makes
us comparatively poor. And
why? Is it lack.of energy, enter
prise, industry, and cooperative
effort? We seriously fear it is.
1t behooves us to be up and
doing, if we would rise to the
summit of our fl fattering possibili-
ties.
Let us keep abseast of the
times. The human family is
everywhere in energetic motion
and moving on to some high goal
of ambition. Why should stag
nation be continued here? Have
we not the industry to mediate
the ingenuity to plan, the cour-
age to resolve and the power to
perform that which in itself is
desirable, and which reflection
convinces us lies plainly in the
scope of possibility?
Opelousas can be made the re-
sort of the invalid-the retreat of
the pleasure seeker, and the plea
SAINT home of the atfiuent. But
we must vitalize its possibilities,
and develope it's latent advant-
ages. We have made valuable
improvements and can add to
them. It is not what it was ten
years ago. 1t then showed moth
ing in its buildings, its institutions
of learning, etc., but the foot
prints of time-the wrinkles of
age with it's decrepitude.
1t is not so now. industry and
enterprise have erected standing
evidence of progress, and ex-
panded purposes. Capital has
to some extent, ventured out of
its hiding places to augment and
perpetuate itself in speculative
and the time is
coming when it's. remoteness from
extraneous attention will be over
come by it's multiplied means of
rapid communication.
Antique notions, habits and
pursuits, must give place to|
modern theories of social life, re-
taste and consequent
Much has been
already accomplished, and more
will be. Society must advance.
All the social and intellectual
forces initiate to that consum-
and there is no insur-
mountable obstacle, but that of
divine ordination, that can mark
the terminus of the human mind. |
All the natural conditions are
favorable to our rapid progress
and few generations will solve
the problem of our glorious pos
sibilities. Let us be up and do
ing.
