The Spirit OF rs
Hot Springs Celebrates In Good Old.
Fashioned STYLE % Orations,
FireCraCkerS. Etc.

A patriotism thrilled by the glorious
achievements of our brave soldiers in
Cuba and Manila, combined with the
complete arrangements of the COM
mittees in charge, made the celebration
of the 4th of July in Hot Springs a
genuine success.
The parade, which started promptly
from the city hall at 10 o'clock, was q
great success, one of the special fea-
lures of which was the battleship
"Dakota"-a very cleverly arranged
boat, propelled by invisible power, and
manned by patriotic little sailors.
Guns wore fired from the deck at in
tervals, and altogether it presented a
very war-like appearance.
The program at the pavilion was very
fine. Mrs. Thornby read the declar-
alton of independence in a charming
manner; Mrs. Bumps kindergarten
class recited some patriotic verses in
true 4th of July style and did some
pretty flag work.
Then followed the eloquent and pa.
triotic oration of Maj. A. r. Anderson,
who enthused everyone present by his
speech. He seemed especially Inspired
by the cheering news from the fetds Of
battle.
The races began at two O'Clock and
were decidedly interesting. We regret
that we have not the space to give the
results of the various spirited contests.
The days delights closed with an en-
joyable bowery dance.

made is not to be told by dates or
facts. The time was ripe, the need
was apparent to all. Thoughtful men
and women recognized the need and
the thought Travelled from mind to
mind and brought forth fruit, "some
thirty, some sixty and some an hun
dred fold" The Travellers club cher
ished the thought and an impetus was
given the project by timely article
in the Hot Springs STAR. This
article appearing, outlined in well-de-
fined and comprehensive manner, the
entire plan of the library and reading
room, which has in many respects been
followed in detail and will doubtless
in the future be still more fully car
ried out.
Late in March the Travellers club
gave library social and thus secured
about thirty volumes, which served as
Il nucleus and paved the way for other
gifts.
A citizens meeting was held in the
city hall early in April and Library
association formed. The council gave
a room in the city hall and the Y. M.
| G. A. followed with gift of the books
| in their possession.
Willing hands have furnished the
room and it now presents very at
tractive appearance.
Five hundred volumes are now ready
for use. \ generous donation from d
private library has been promised for
delivery in the early fall.
This present effort of the Shakes
peare club is for the purpose of adding
materially to the library.
The way is open for all who wish tc
contribute. The library needs you and
you need the library. Give your do.

States.
If a war with spain, which now
seems imminent, involves some of
the powers of Europe, we believe
the United States can rely on the
moral if not the active support of
Great Britain for the reason that
the blood and trade relations of
the two countries are bound to
count for something should Aus
tria and France decide to take a
hand with Spain against us, which
we are not inclined to believe is
probable. That the Anglo-Saxons,
wherever dispersed about the
globe when trouble occurs, are
brought together by the ties of
blood and bone was demonstrated
a short time ago by a very lively
affair which occurred in the streets
of Hong Kong, China. The par
ticulars are related by First Off
Ger Hepburn. of the British stea-
mer Empress of japan, which
dropped anchor at Vancouver on
the 18th of this month.
1t appears a short time before
the Empress Of Japan sailed from
Hong Kong big row occurred in
a barroom between Russian and
English men-of-warsmen, and the
the result WAS a council of war
was held by a squad of Russian
sailors and hostilities were declar-
ed against the Anglo-Saxon race.
In thirty minutes 400 German,
French and Russian sailors had
lined three deep along Queen
street, which is 25 feet wide, for
100 yards from joss Temple to the
water edge and defied the Yankees

is as familiar with the classics, as
with the Story on the Constitu-
tion. He is deeply versed in the
literature of the law" and is a
profound thinker. 1t has been
said that; Judges ought to be
more learned than witty, more re-
verend than plausible, more ad-
vised that confident" Above all
things, integrity in their portion
and proper virtue. All these qua
li6cations Judge Watkins posses
ses in a marked degree. There
can be no doubt his eminent fitness
for the position.
AS man, he has always been
generous, public spirited and ac-
tive. He has taken an interest in
public questions and movements,
and has done much to advance
Louisiana to the splendid position
she now occupies in the galaxy of
states.
Governor Foster could not do
better than to re-appoint him to
the position he has filled SO credi-
tably. By doing SO, he will only
be advancing the interests of Lou
isiana, and rewarding one of her
citizens who has labored faithfully
in her interest. That the appoint
ment will meet with the approval
of the whole bar of Louisiana, and
the entire state, there can scarcely
be any doubt. The Citizen, and
the people of Red River Parish
earnestly hope that Judge L. B.
Watkins will be reappointed.

ranks, jeering them for towards.
The Yankees and British, $50
strong, not half the number of the
enemy, advanced to the charge,
shoulder to shoulder, some crying
"Hail Columbia" and some 'God
save the Queen" They drove like
a mighty wedge through the mass
of foreigners.
The allied German, French and
Russian forces were soon surroun-
ded, and, in the words of an eye
witness, 'the small squad of An
glo-Saxons knocked seven bells
out of them" The police were
powerIess to interfere. The Off
GERS hurried to shore in launches,
but the hostilities did not cease
till the allied force cried for qu ar
ter.
We opine that if the powers of
Europe interfere in the Spanish

discover to their sorrow the 60

der to shoulder and dealing out
blows in much the same fashion
as the English and American sal

TWO-BITS PER WEEK.
Daily Item.

That donation" by the Conven-
ton to the poor Confederate SOL
dier was "muniicent" indeed.
Two-bits per week! What an in
suit to the poor fellow, who, with
out means, crippled, in want and
burdened with age, must accept
the generosity" of a State in the
princely sum of twenty-five cents
the week!
Time was, and that not far dis
tant, when the Confederate sol
dier" was a political shibboleth,
on the tongue of every-pot house
politician in Louisiana. That day
has past, and many of the wiser
comrades of these poor men warn
ed them, when the "war" was the
sole political issue of more small
bore statesmen than The Item
cares to name, but they were be-
ing used and would be abused
when they no longer served or
could serve selfish purpose.
Well, the old soldier is getting
his reward now. He is fed and
honored principally Of the reason
that shame drives these canting
hypocrites to perform a charitable
act. But when some other relief
is asked, he is told that he would
get drunk if he had money, or that
the Confederate soldier in busi-
ness or at labor in the State would
quit work and take refuge in the
home!
And they give the poor fellow
two-bits per week.

notice from our exchanges tnaC
there are several gentlemen-pro-
minent and influential lawyers -
who are desirous of securing the
appointment as his successor.
While this parish is not in the
district from which Judge Wat
kins' successor will be appointed,
yet in view of the fact that the
Judge, in his early manhood, was
prominent and influential citizen
of this place for quite number of
years, it is but natural that the
Signal and the people of Webster
parish as we'll, should feel some
concern in the matter of the ap-
pointment of his successor.
He began the practice of law at
this place when quite a young
man, steadily forging to the
front, he was soon recognized as
one of the leading lawyers at this
bar, and that at a time, too, when
the Minden bar numbered among
its members some of the brightest
legal luminaries in the State. As
Judge of the district of which this
parish was then a part from 1877
to 1877 he made an able, upright
and incorruptible officer, discharg-
ing every duty incumbent upon
him to the perfect satisfaction of
the bar and the people, and dis
posed of the business before the
court with the greatest expedition
and dispatch.
Since he has been on the su-
preme court bench he has made q
splendid record as an incessant
and untiring worker and a learned
impartial, and able judge.
Taking into consideration his
twelve years experience as Asso-
ciate Justice as we'll as his earlier
training and other eminent quail
fications, we see no reason why
Judge Watkins should not be his
own successor. A lawyer of the
highest legal sttainments, an in
defatigable worker, ripe and ex-
perienced judge, and an honest,
honorable and genial gentleman;
learned in the law, retiring rather
than seeking honors,, he at
once strikes all who know him as
the ideal man for the place.
Webster Signal.
The CITIZEN joins the Signal in
expressing the hope that Judge
Watkins may be his own success
sor. When appointed to the Su-
preme Bench in 1886, he was one
of the leading lawyers of North
Louisiana, and Coushatta and Red
River Parish were proud to num-
ber him as q citizen. He was for
many years a resident of Red Ri
yer, coming here shortly after his
term as District Judge expired in
Webster parish. During his resi-
dence here he made an enviable
reputation for ability, learning and
fair dealing. As lawyer, he pos
sessed all the best traits, deeply
versed in the law, courteous and
affable always in his practice, and
ever keeping the interest of his
client in view. He enjoyed an ex-
tensive practice in this and sur
rounding parishes.
Since his appointment on the
bench he has made a record that
will compare favorably with any.
His early training and his chsrac-
ter fit him for the position. Pos
sessing, as he does, a mind vigo-
rous, logical, acute, strong, broad
and ornamented with all the rich
