Neurology.

Another landmark has passed
away with the death of Mrs. Sarah
j. Whatley, aged fifty-eight years.
Mrs. Whatley died near Poland,
in Rapides Parish, ON Oct. Sth,
1898. Deceased was born and
raised near Bayou Chicot, where
her entire life was spent except
the current year. She leaves a
large family and a larger circle of
friends to mourn her demise.
Her life was a succession of
good deeds. Charity in it's largest
sense was her daily practice; and
in the hereafter her good deeds
here will rebound to her happi-
ness over there. May the sod of
the valley rest light ore her
breast. Farewell.

Beautify Your Surroundings.

In our last issue We published a
communication over the nom de
plume of Argus, in which the wri-
ter made suggestions of which we
heartily approve.
We have Il vast number of shade
tlees in Opelousas, but many more
should be added. 1t can be done
at comparatively small cost, and
would certainly contribute to the
comfj;rt of the promenaders as
we'll a;,to the homes of proprie-
tors. 4
In on, respect there is great
lack of ,aste among us. Many
yards are destitute of flowers and
shrubs, and none should be. They
add greatly to the elegance in the
appearance Of residences and
beautify every home however
humble.
The shade trees on the Roman
Catholic church premises, have
become. and for years have been
admired. Much more might be
done to beautify the property, by
planting roses, flowers, and
shrubs upon it.
When the St. Landry High
School building was erected and
surrounded, trees were planted in
the enclosure, many of which fail
ed to grow and flourish and those
that did grow were neglected, and
have not grown as rapidly as they
might under greater attention and
care. Others should be planted
during the present fall and winter.
The expense would be trifling.
The grounds should be plowed
and laid off with taste, then plant
ed with roses, flowers and shrubs,
and thus made 4 place of beauty.
We hope the time is not far dis
tant when the school will become
one of the finest in the state.
If the ladies will but set their
hearts on it, the work of embel-
fishing and beautifying the school
will be done and we'll done at that.
We suggest that they undertake
it and give some of our handsome
idle young Beau Brummels some
thing to do.

The Chicago Chronicle makes
the following sensible remarks:
Possibly we of the North, being
in q position of safety, are rot ca
pable of apprectating the tradi-
tional terror inspired by yellow fe-
yer in the South. 1t does appear,
however, as though this terror
should abate as successive years
show that yellow Jack" can be
met and mastered like any other
disease.
Within the last ten years it is
altogether probable that deaths
from lightning have exceeded
those from yellow fever in this
country. Certainly more people
die of diphtheria in Chicago dur
ing a single month than succumb
to yellow fever in the South dur
ing the year. Yet, though we
have some fear of lightning and
of diphtheria, we do not become
panic-stricken either. We simply
take our chances, knowing that
the deaths from either cause are
very small percentage of the
whole population. The South
might as we'll make up its mind
to view yellow fever with equal
philosophy.

THE HILLsDAhE ACCIDENT.
Two Opinions as to the Action of the
Railway Company.

A subscriber writes to The Star in refer
ence to the accident at Hillsdale last Sun
day that it is about time proper steps were
taken by the Commissioners of the District
toward abolishing a nuisance which has
existed for some time past
If this company had five or six cars run
ming regularly instead of from two to
three, this distressing accident would have
been avoided, for the reason that each car
could have been comfortably filled without
overcrowding, thereby avoiding overtaXing
the brakes.
1t is no wonder this accident has occur
red, and it will repeat itself unless proper
remedies are put in force to avoid a recur-
renee. The authorities of this road have
been promising. from time to time the run
ming of from four to six cars on regular
schedule, their excuse for not doing so be
ing insufficient power for running these
extra cars; but they have had this extra
power in for month or more, why have
they not done so?
Congress has also granted them authority
for running overhead wire on the Navy
Yard bridge, thus enabling them to run
their cars through without change to horse
power on said bridge; but it seems there is
