Death of a STRANGER.

An unknown man, without friends
and without money and in the las,
stages of consumption, appealed to
Mr.. Rosemond Landry near Brous-
sard last Saturday for place to
sleep and something to eat Mr..
Landry, seeing the mans condition,
allowed him to use one of the ten
nant houses and gave him some
food. Instead of improving the
stranger showed signs of increasing
weakness. Hon. r. G.. Landry,
being informed of this fact, secured
the services of DR.. Stromer of
Broussard, who visited the man, but
soon found out that he had reached
that point where medicine could
only lessen his suffering. Wednes-
day night he died and was buried
the next day in Potter's Field in La
fayette. The following letter was
found on his person. 1t is the only
clue which may lead to the disclos-
nre of his identity:
New Orleans, Sept. 8, 1898.
Dear Uncle-I received your let
er this week. Uncle, I don't know
What to write. Grandma says she

What you are doing or what you in

bout you. We and your children

bout YOU soon. If you want any,
hing write and let us know. Ills

admitted free into this country tc
this day.
i 80 In 1884 Republican ad
mlnistration negotiated a treaty with
Mexico by the terms of which the
sugars of that country would have
been admitted into this country free
OF duty, which treaty was only de-
teatsd by the Democratic admins
tratlon voted in by the people in
the tall election of that year.
(D) That in 1890 Republican
| congress aided and assisted by a
Republican administration, in order
10 reduce the vast surplus in the
treasury, and at the same time in
crease the duties on the manufac-
tured products of the North and
East, sacrificed the duty which was
then levied on sugar, and afforded
protecuon to that industry, and
substituted therefor, against the
solemn protest of the sugar planters,
the delusive bounty, we'll knowing
the system would prove TOO unpop-
ular to last for any length of time,
and Immediately thereafter their
leaders preached the doctrine of
tree sugar, breakfast table, and so |
lndoctrinated the people with this |
new doctrine that it made it verv
difficult to return to the old Demo-
cratic doctrine of a triff on sugar as
a revenue producer.
.(E) That In 1902 Republican
administration negotiated a treaty
with Hawaii which proposed to an
mex that country, and which was
again only defeated by the Demo
cratic party.
CD During the present year a
Republican Congress aided and as
sisted by Republican administra-
ion finally annexed Hawaii, thus -,
forever the privilege
that country in 1875 of en- t
ering its sugars into this country t
rec Of duty.

cy of the present administration of
mex Porto Rico. a part, if not the Il
hole, of the Philippines and estab- d
shlnS a protectorate, if not to an X
ex at once, Cuba, which will bring n
re sugars Of these islands into this
ountry free Of duty; the Republic @
an leaders we'll knowing that our
'dus:ry cannot compete with those
lands.

Quarantine Matters.

Drs. +. Il. FOLSOM, F. f. Girard
N. p. Moss and Messrs. VIM. CIeg,
and G. O. Mouton, members of tn
new Board of Health, met in tn,
city hall Tuesday night and orga
nized. DR.. Glrard was elected
president and Judge l.. A: McFad
din secretary.
The Board entered upon the dis.
charge of its duties IN an inte1ligen,
and business like manner. Every
member seemed to appreciate the
Importance of his position. Under
the State law creating the Boards of
Health the acts of the local organi
zatlon must not be in conflict with
those of the State Board. The
State Board establishes quarantine
and is in fact the source of all au'
thorlty in matters pertaining to it,
but there is much for the local
Board to do. 1t is the purpose of
the members of the Lafayette Board
to see that the regulations, as estab-
lished by the State authorities, are
religiously complied with by the
people and the transportation CON-
panies. They have started out in
the right way and The Gazette has
no doubt that their administration
of our health affairs will be emf
nently satisfactory. While Afford
ing all reasonable protection they
do not wish to be unnecessarily Sc
we're upon any one.
They have communicated with
he railroad authorities with view
IF ascertaining what the company is
1oing to meet the requirements of
he quarantine regulations, as pro-
claimed by the president of the
state Board of Health This was
lone to find out if this town is pro- :
ected by the arrangement which
he company has made to run its
rains.
The Board has taken steps to
uard against any danger which r
lay result from allowing the train c
rews who leave Algiers to come in O
ontact with the people of this c

Key West. May 27.--The gunboat VIII
mington brings news this morning of a
mysterious Spanish scout ship off Key West
last night When twenty miles OF the
Wilmington sighted ship with three
masts and one funnel, which. on seeing
her. edged off. TIL, Wilmington was unable
to give chase, not having coal enough. but
soon fell in with the Bancroft, which was
looking for four masted Spanish auxil-
larry cruiser with one funnel. The Will
mington pointed out the suspicious ship to
the southeast and the Bancroft at once
gave chase.
The mysterious stranger instantly scoot-
ed for the southeast and when last seen at
twilight the Bancroft was gaining on tie
Spanard.
Commander Todd expressed the opinion
that the Bancroft would lose her quarry
on the coming of darkness.
There can be no doubt that this was a
Spanish scout seeking information as to
the number of fighting ships at this, our
base Of naval operations. One of these
ships has been seen nightly since Monday
Similar Spanish pickets have also been
sighted off TAMPA.
The opinion of the officers of the VIII
mington Is that the ship that the Bancroft
was chasing was an auxiliary cruiser of
which Spain has several. The officers think
the cruiser would have attacked them.
only the heavy military mast of the Will
mington look like a battleship at dis
| tance.
| The spaniard was hull down when the
Bancroft chased. There We're other evil
oences that Spanish ships are In these
waters. Four nights ago when the Wampa-
tuck, which carries S-pounders, ,swas carry
Ing dispatches to Admiral Sampson she
was chased by a much larger ship. but
soon ran her pursuer out of sight.
The Eagle was chased Wednesday night
by Spanish cruiser, which was as large as
an Atlantic liner.
