God and His church, he con tends, TO
surreptitiously drop penny in the col.

afford to give more. People, he says,
take literally the teaching that religion
is free, when in fact, it costs money to
have free religion. He suggests even
clergymen announces from their pulpits
that no pennies are wanted, and he

now give pennies would make q nickel

of the islands of the Philippine
group. The population of the two
islands is about the same, and Is
estimated at something more than

Luzon is four times the extent
of Formosa. Japan has just been
quoting another rebellion in For
mosa. caused by attempts to ex-
tend Japanese administration over
the island. An official publication
shows that in the last year $4,000
persons were concerned in 100
attacks in different parts of the
island. Five hundred persons
were killed and wounded by For
mosans, 1900 captured and over
200 houses burned. Their booty
was valued at $4,000 yen. On
the other hand, 945 of the island.

United States MarshapS
Office.
- Picayune.

Hon. Charles Fontelieu has re-
turned from a tour of the Third
congressional district, and from a
visit to his home in Iberia parish.
During his absence, which lasted
nine days, the marsbals office was
in charge of Mr.. Felix Bienvenu,
chief deputy, Mr.. Fontelieu said
that he was satisfied at the aspect
of political affairs in the Third
district and he is confident OF sue
cess in his candidacy for congress.
He has received the Endorsement
of seventy-six among the most
prominent citizens, planters, pro-
fessional men and business men
of the seven parishes that consti-
tute the Third congressional dis
trict. Hon. Gus A. Breaux, who
was the nominee of the regular
Republican convention, which met
at Morgan City on the 9th inst
and who declined on account OF
i'll health, has also declined to he
the candidate of the sugar men,
and has thrown the weight of his
influence to help Mr.. Fontelieu.
Mr.. Breaux wrote to Mr.. Fonte-
lieu a most friendly and compli-
mentary letter assuring him of his
hearty cooperation during the
coming campaign, and saying that
the selection of Hon. Charles Fon-
telieu to be the standard bearer OF
the Republican party in the Third
district did honor to the party and
to the man; that this choice would
surely have the effect of drawing
into the Republican ranks large
number OF white voters who, here
tofore have stood aloof. MIR. FOn-
telieu will, in a few days, announce
his campaign committee for the
parishes of Ascension, Iberville,
Assumption, Terrebonne and La
fourche, and it will be composed
of the leading men of the respec-
tive parishes. Mr.. Fontelieu has
received assurances " writing
from some of the influential men
of these parishes, pledging their
support and asking to be called
upon if he was in need OF their aid
and countenance.
