enrolment and organization Of men en-
gagged in seafaring and associated pur-
suits, from which the navy can draw In

one OF the most remar kable feats ever
performed In the history OF the banquet
ing board was witnessed at the Trocaaero
last evening. where, before the Young
Mems Democratic Club, Dssemtlsd to
konor them selves by honoFlng the Father
OF His Country, the Hon. Josiah Quincy
of Boston made an aftsr-dinner speech
before dinner.
The Mayor of Boston was tempted to
the performances Of this unique. novel
and unprecedented task by the fact of
another engagement later in the evening
in HIS own city, but the success that was
achieved, it IS reasonable to suppose,
may encourage him TO try i6 again. aud,
perhaps, induce other aftsr-dipner orators
to deliver themselves before dinner with
out feeling called upon TO fall back upon
any such excuse as "A later engagement.
Indeed, who can prophecy the effect on
after-dinner oratory and the dinners
themselves possible to be produced by the
example given by Mayor Quincy last
evening? The very novelty Of the thing
is fetching. If alter dinner speeches may

example, first the speeches. then the

the bit OF toast then the Roman punch,
and so on down through the entrees and
Met and ash, and what not 10 the soup
and oysters, winding up deliriously with
the reception to guests in the lower
parlor.
But we anticipate. This is but speou-
alton. Further experiment. will bs nee
essary before we can he sure that the
novelty will prove a permanent success
The one fact is that the Hon. Josiah
Quincy Of Boston has successfully de-
livered an after-dinner speech before
dinner. In the city Of Providence has
this innovation been born, wherefore, in
the future, Washington birthday would,
we should say, be something worth
while celebrating In these Plantations.
OF course, the triumph of the feat does
not lie in the mere success of the effort
on the part of Mayor Quincy to utter his
after-dinner remarks before dinner
While such an attempt was, OF course,
remarkable, there IS nothing surprising
in its success so far as Mayor Quincy's
ability to accomplish the feat is con-
cerneo. A man Of Mayor Quincy's parts
and talents could quite as we'll he relied
upon to make after. dinner remarks bs-
fere dinner as Fourth of July grafton
on Christmas day, "a benediction for an
opening prayer or a Democratic speech
for Mugwump droppings, without IA break
The astonishing feature of the feat thus
attempted, OF course, is that, so far as the
rscords show, every man present survived
the ordeal OF listening TO an after dinner
speech by Mayor Quincy on an emp.y
stomach. To be sure. it may bs too early
yet to wholly determine tho permanent
effects in individual cases, but it ,s
known that at the close OF the speech,
they all took nourishment and are today
reported to be doing as well as can be sx-
pected.

ed authorizing the location of an
industrial school in either of the
three parishes comprising the ele-

ing as a condition precedent to its
location that cash contribution
of 5000 and a suitable tract of
twenty-five acres of land be made
toward the erection and location
of the school. Iberia has taken
the initiative to secure this prize
and to its Police Jury belongs the
honor of leading the undertaking
by a liberal appropriation of one
half mill on the assessable value
OF property in the parish for two
years, which will amount to more
than one-half the cash contribu-

will be so directly benefited by

Two Opinions on the Sugar Question.
The following, from a circular
recently issued by one of the lsrg-
est sugar houses in Hamburg, the
centre of the sugar trade of Ger
many shows how that country re-
CARDS the question in connection
with the near future deyeiopment
of the sugar industry ihCuba:
America has a demand for su-
gar of 100000 tons. of which
Louisiana supplies 100000 tons,
while 100000 tons come from beet,
sorghum, maple and other domes-
tic sugar productions. Before the
last revolution the Cuban sugar
production amounted to over L.
OO0,O 900 tons. In well-informed
American sugar circles they are
convinced that Cuba will cover
the entire sugar demand for Amer
lea in the course of two or three
years. This means for the Amer
ican nation, in the first place, the
yearly deficiency of a round s45,-
600, 900, which the duty on impor-
ted sugar.has hitherto produced.
1t means at the same time the de-
struction of the sugar production
of Louisiana, which cannot exist
without the protection of the duty.

Alois p Swoboda of Omaha, Neb.,
claims TO have discovered a way by
which, through mere contraction and
relaxation of the muscles, person may
become as strong as he likes, and all
this without artificial aid. Swoboda
offers to permit Fitzsimmons to strike
his hardest blow over his tSwoboda' -
abdominal muscles, guaranteeing that
Fitz cannot in the least inJure him.
This remarkable state of affairs is
the result of a brand new system OF
development the secret of which is told
i'm the preceding paragraph. In the
accompanying statement over his own
signature Mr.. Swoboda details some
very interesting facts:
While not posing as strong man In
the sense usually given that word
Swoboda has given some examples Of
his strength which easily place him
among the first men of muscle. For in
stance. he will take pack of cards and
tear 1t into two pieces; then he Will tear
the halves into quarters and the quar-
tiers into eighths, using but his thumbs
and forefingers. He will do the same
thing with two packs of cards. Plac-
ing a pack between two heavy pieces
of tin, he will tear tin and cards with
as much ease as he did the pasteboard-
This is by no means all. He Will iirst
raise a 215-pound dumbbell over his
head. Then he raises a 2Oo-pound
