Veterinary Surgeons.

The COURIER, takes pleasure in pub
lIshlng the following from DR.. w. II.
Dalrymple. professor of vetenary science
at the State University. We approve
the dOclor's plan and would be glad
to see IN every parish number of vete-
rInary surgeons large enough to supply
the demand. The vetenary profession
OF to-day has taken rank as one of the
learned professions. A vast sum of
money is invested in pure bred strains
of stock; and the preservation of ami
NAL health and life, rational aud hu-
man methods for the treatment and
eradication of disease, would dou btless
be hailed with satisfaction by our stock
owners especially. The "horse doc

would be inestimable. The opportunity for
such an education could be afforded, and with
out great additional expenditure by the in
sttntlon of a regular Department of Veteri
nary Medicine i'll connection with our State
University and A. & M. College at Baton
Rouge. This course would be of great advan

the practice of human medicine, who, if pos

increased but their value as practitioners in
rural districts, would be greatly enhanced "

Mr.. Walter Burh, OF New Iberia, Offer
ed resolution recently in the Consti-
tuti0nal Convention exemptiDg muni
cipal corporations from the payment of
parish taxes. We believe it has met
with great favor and will pass. 1t is
only proper that it should pass. When
a town takes care of its own streets,
pays its ownscriminal expenses, and
contributes towards the support Of its
schools. it has done all that can be asked
Of it by the parish in which it exists.
Receiving no benefits from the expend-
iture of the parish money, it should not
be expected to contribute to the parish
funds.-St Mary Optic.

Here are few naval points that may
be known to many, but probably not to
all of our readers: Tie biggest guns in
the navy are forty feet long, big
enough for man to crawl into, four
feet in diameter at their largest part,
and weigh 125,500 pounds or there
about. Some of the guns can fire shot
twelve miles, farther than man can
see, for he guns are aimed and sighted
by machinery. The powder used ia
brown and in chunks the size of cara
mel. A charge of the biggest guns
weighs 500, and is hoisted to the breech
by derrick, tie powder being sewed
up in burIap bags. A big battle-ship
has on board an electric plant capable
of lighting town of 5000 inhabitants
The fastest vessels in the navy are
the torpedo boats Porter and Dupont,
each of which can travel 275 knots an
hour. The Iowa weighs nearly $4,000
tons, and as twenty tons is the average
load of freight car and twelve cars is
a good load for locomotive engine, it
would take fifty locomotives to haul
the great steel structure. A captain in
the navy ranks with ID colonel in the
army. The oldest iron vessel ia the
Michigan, built in 1874 We have the
only lam.-the katahdin.

Camp Thomas Nearly Deserted.

Chickamauga Park. Ga, Sept. 13-
Only two regiments Of the Camp
Thomas army remain at Chickamauga
Park today-the Ninth Minnesota and
the Sixth United States volunteer in
fantry immunes. The Second Ken
lucky left here last night for Lexing
ton, where they will be paid off and
furloughed for 80 days. The Ninth New
York regiment was paid off yesterday
and left for home today. The Ninth
will be mustered out at once, and will
not be furloughed, as has been the
case with most of the regiments order
ed to home camps. Official reports
sent to the war department show that
since the movement Of troops to Chick
amauga Park began in April there
have been 1900 soldiers under canvass

Ex-M1NISTER DENBY'S VIEWS.
Says Our Government Should Retain
tho I1hIlipnfna IsJou6u

Says Our Government Should Retain
the Philippine Islands.
Washington, Sept. 13.-Mr. Charles
DENLY, former minister of the United
States to China, arrived here yesterday
from Picking, and in the afternoon paid
his respects to the president. On leav-
ing the White House Mr.. DENLY in
answer to inquiries, said that in his
judgment the United States should re-
tain permanent possession of all, or
practically all, Of the Philippine ISL
ands. To surrender them to Spain
would be only to invite a controversy
and possibly a war among the Eu-
ropean nations for their possession,
and if the United States is to make
an effort to secure any considerable
portion of the markets Of the far east
the Philippines would be of very great
advantage to us.
Mr.. DENLY thought that the eastern
question had been practically settled,
for the present at least. He did not
believe that there was anything in the
situation to justify the expectation Of
a partition Of China among the powers.
Russia already had secured territorial
concessions which completely satisfied
all her desires in that particular d.
rection, and as trade and trade facili-
ties were the only objects Of English
and German concern in China he saw
no good reason why they should desire
her Acknowledgement. In any event Mr.. !
DENLY said he did not look for any i'm
mediate change in the present status.

Bring in new loves serene an pure:
Aroun' the hearthstone of the heart
Place modern styles of furniture.
Clean out yer morril cubhy holes.
Sweep out the dirt, scrape off the

IT'S cleain' time for healthy souls
Git up an dust! The spring he's

An dust cosey chair for Hope.
Clean out the brains deep rubbish

Soak ev'ry Granny, great an small,
An In the front 70 om of the soul
Hang potter pictures on the wall:
Scrub up the winders of the mind,
Clean up, an let the spring begin;
Swing open wide the dusty blind,
An let the April sunshine in.
Plant flowers in the souls front yard,
Set out new shade an blossom trees.
An let the soul once froze an hard
6prout crocuses of new idees.
Yes, clean yer house, an clean yer

An clean yer barn in ev'ry part;
But brush the cobwebs from yer head,
An sweep the snowbanks from yer

But Madeline Joyce shook her head

And the strawberry girl passed on.
Madeline gazed after her with sad
violet-gray eyes.
Poor and proud proud and poor!"
she murmured to herself. 20, my God!
why was l not yonder ragged straw
berry girl or even the child who
sweeps tho crossings, and earns an
honest penny now and then? But now
now my hands a.e tied by mammals

noiselessly in.

we had no money, Beatrice?"
What would have been the use,
Maddy? OF course did not tell him."
"And, mammal"
"She does not know-she Is reading
In the parlor; she will not let me mend
the tablecloth; she says it is not work
for ladies'. O, MaGdy, what shall we
do?"
Madeline arose and began pacing
impatiently up and down the room.
"Hush!" she cried, there is a ring
at the bell. 1t is Mrs. Benjamin again.
Go tell her I am engaged-busy-go
out-anything you please. No-stay!
Perhaps had better see her after ALL"
And Madeline went down stairs to
where Mrs. Joyce sat in faded silk and
darned lace, with white, wasted hands,
folded in her lap and an embroidered
ottoman under her feet.
1T is like DREAM" Madeline said
to herself. And to think that there is
nothing in the house for dinner. Per- |
haps Mrs. Benjamin will ask mamma
to dine, and Bee and can send out for
half a pound of crackers. We can eat |
anything!"
And through her disjonted medita-
tions, her mothers soft, sweet voice
sounded.

you? My dear Mrs Benjamin you are
very Kind, am sure, and Maddy must
use her own discretion about accounting,
Do you hear, darling? Mrs. Benjamin
wants you to accompany her to the

boys. l am sure 1t would be a charm

Madeline looked up with a sudden
glitter In her eyes.

"a young lady-a friend of mine.
When do you want her?'
AT once; and then we can be off

You Will accompany us, Madeline?"

pionship Of the world between Frank
Erne and kid" Lavigne that was to
have been the opening contest at the
Hawthorne Athletic club at Cheek
towaga, was stopped by Sheriff Kilgal-
lon before the men came together in
the arena. A crowd of about 1000 peo-
pie had gathered In the big enclosure
early last evening.
The sheriff and a score Of deputies
were in the ring when Lon Beckwith,
of Cleveland, and Jack O'Donnell were
ordered on for the preliminary bout.
The sheriff declared that he would not
permit any contest to take place. John
W. Fisher, attorney for the town of
Cheektowaga, demanded that the club
be given the use Of its property, and
the boxers were ordered to shake
hands. Before a blow could be struck
the deputies seized the boxers and
forced them to their corners and then
released them. Once more the boxers
were ordered to get together. but the
deputies again grappled with them,
and for few minutes the ring was
filled with struggling deputies, fighters
and their seconds, and Beckwith and
O'Donnell were again compelled to take
their seats.
The spectators were greatly excited
and roundly denounced the action of
the sheriff. but no open act Of violence
was committed. A long and Wordy
