The Good Record for the Island and
for Messrs. Burrell and
Hare

AVALON, Catalina Island, July 49,
The heavy east wind that started to blow
Yesterday morning seems to have driver
all the tuna out to sea, and that at time
when they were being caught In large
numbers, The wind was so strong that
the landing stage in front Of the BATH
house had to be towed out to sea. Nu-
nerous parties were out after the tuna
this morning, but not one of them got
strike. Colonel Morehouse Of Pasadena
was out, and with flying fish for bait
returned with an Immense yellowtail
weighing in the neighborhood OF forty
pounds. The fish was hooked hard and
fast, and lowed the boat as TUNA would
have done. It's rushes were shorter and
quicker than the tuna's, and 1t was not
until the fish was brought to gaff that
the colonel knew what his game was.
Nat Wiltshire was out in the launch
putting Pig" and was fortunate enough
to land two yellowtail, six barracuda and
ten rock bass. He left his parachute
on shore in charge of Peter Martin
The goat hunters have been getting In
their deadly work again and six heads
were brought in yesterday. The finest
fell to D. K. Burrell and J. X. Hare, and
was taken at Silver canyon. These
sportsmen brought down two other heads.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burrell and Mr.. Hare were
out in the launch Lolland on fishing trip
and returned with twenty-four barracuda
and two yellowtail which, with the three
goats heads, makes pretty good sport
for one day.
The other fortunate goat hunters were
e. r. Ruiison and T. A. Sander, Jr.
These gentlemen were also proud possess
ors of three heads when they returned,
besides one other killed. the head Of which
was so badly cut up that 1t was useless
to bring it down. The goats were found
at Eagle pass. There 10 some doubt in
the minds OF these gentlemen how the
spoils should be divided, as the first goat
was fired at simultaneously and both bull
let's made wounds that were instantly
fatal.

Wreck at CarencrO.

Saturday night nine freight cars
derailed near Carencro and were
thrown into the ditch along the
track. The locomotive and few
cars were not injured. The nine
cars thrown off the track were to-
tally wrecked, and it is wonder
that no one received injuries. The
cause of the accident could not be
ascertained by us. Traffic was
temporarily stopped on account of
tie damage done to the track. 1t
was rumored that pair of gloves
and mangled flesh had been found
under the wreckage which led to
the supposition that some one steal
ing ride had been killed, but The
Gazette was assured by several gen
tlemen who we're at the scene of the
wreck that no such find was made
and that there was nothing in the
ruYnOr.

Senator Wolcott, in his recent
speech in the Senate, declared that
the Dingley bill with Its high duties
had much to do with the failure of the
monetary commission to secure the
COZ sent of the British government
to an international bimetallic agree
ment. Mr.. Wolcott said that radi-
cal tariff changes, the effect OF
which is to destroy the industries
Of friendly nation, breed hostility
and ill-feeling, and an alliance that
would ordinarily be welcomed be-
comes unpopular and undesirable.

THE CT OSURE or THE
MINT.

The following special to the
Times Democrat will be of interest
to many Of our readers:
Washington, Jan. z7.-The legis-
lative and judicial appropriation
bill, containing the New Orleans
Mint appropriation, will not be
taken up for consideration by the
Senate until the Teller resolution
has been gotten out of the way. That
now has right of way, and the indi-
cations are that it will continue to
occupy the attention of the Sena te
until Friday. Senator Cullom, in
charge of the bill, yielding to the
persuasions of the friends of the
New Orleans Mint, has promised to
offer an amendment to the COM
mittee recommendation by which
the allowance for adjusters and
work man will be increased $40, 900,
making the total allowance for the
purpose $50, 900 instead of $40, 900.
The salaries of the officers and
clerks will remain the same as re-
ported in the bill.

A Disappointment.

1t was announced both in The
Advertiser and The Gazette last
week that the people of Lafayette
would be given a rich treat in the
shape of an impersonation of that
mythical play, Rip Van Wrinkle, by
Chas. r. Underhill. We regret to
say in this issue that Mr.. Underhill
will not be here on that date. The
cause of the failure of Mr.. Under
hill to be here is briefly this. A
letter was received from the South
ern Lyceum Bureau at Louisville
offering Mr.. Underhill at the special
price of fifty dollars. This money
was raised by fifty men in the town
who promised to pay dollar a
piece towards making up the sum.
But it took several days to make up
this guarantee. AS soon as the
guarantee was made up, the Bureau
was informed that we had made all
necessary arrangements to have Mr..
Underhill is slated for Palestine,
Texas, February 3. The Bureau
made an effort by telegram to have
Palestine change her date to the 9TH
giving US the grid, but was unable to
do so.
We we're too late; that is all.
However, the people of Lafayette
will miss something good and we
all may regret it. The Bureau in
forms US that for about the same
guarantee, we can secure Col. Ham
for early April. Col. Ham is one
of the best humorous lecturers be-
fore the public to-day Mr.. VIVA.
Clegg had tire pleasure of hearing
him in Baton Rouge some time ago,
and he informs US that he is we'll
worth listening to. If the people of
Lafayette get over their disappoint-
ment in our failure to get Mr.. Un-
derhill, We will make an effort to
have Col. Ham here about the first
of April.
We wish to express thanks to the
people of Lafayette for having taken
such an interest in these platform
lectures, and for having contributed
so we'll toward making up the guar
antee fund.

with all the frailties and faults and
shortcomings of everyday humanity.
They possessed the appetites and
weaknesses common to tho ,e
who had not seen fit to face the
horrid front of battle, and some
were not even men, but only frac-
tional parts of men. Most of them
had harvested the seeds of disease
during the four years of exposure to
sun and rain, heat and frost, with
out more shelter than is enjoyed by
the beasts of the field. All of these
came back poverty-stricken, and a
struggle for existence began. A
few, who were gifted with a natural
faculty for accumulation, throve
and prospered from the start.
Others, with equal industry, per-
haps, but not the bump of acquisi-
tiveness SO we'll developed, and
whose natural 1naptitude for push
ing their own fortunes was fostered
and increased by the habits they
acquired of looking to the commits
sary and quartermaster to supply
their wants, have been less fortunate
in providing against the needs Incl
dent to the winter of life, and have
led hand to- mouth existence dur
ing all these years to find themselves
at last without a home from which
to answer the last roll call. O, it is
pitiful!''

Struck by a Train.

While lying near the track at
Scott, George Gray, a young man
twenty-five years old, claiming I'd
hail from Boston, was struck by an
east bound train and received severe
injuries ON the right side Of the
head. He was put of here satut-
day at noon and received medical
attention by DR.. A. r. Trahan, and
taken to the Charity Hospital that
night. His injuries were pros
nounced severe. The unfortunate
man arrived in New Orleans safe
and was immediately taken 70 the
hospit-l. He had to remain in the
waiting room at the depot here fof
several hours, but he received all
the comforts that could be given
him under the circumstances.

Gibson, the illustrator, was made
happy by the arrival of a son in his
home. Soon after he expressed 4
deteru in~tion to picture a tYpicA

work in this new line. 1t is UNI

great success OF the undertaking.
and the picture appears on the
cover Of the February Ladies Home
Journal, for which magazine Il was
designed. Mr.. Gibson's adea
American girl raised ahe standard
of native feminine l0Vefiness 10 the

The people of New Orleans and
of Louisiana are cosmopolitan, and
consequently tolerant and liberal
minded. Our religious aggzesiveness
does not perhaps cause us to enact
Sabbatarian blue laws contrary to
the spirit and truth of our govern
ment and constitution, but that
cosmopolitan element in our body
polite brushes away all differences
of creed or caste and produces
that .fellow feeling which makes
the whole world kim" This spirit was

New England in the past century,
the general homage paid to this
great preacher is truly a beautiful

would be to the lasting glory and

and proud Of having just won first
honsrs at the Military Academy of
this country in class in which
men who afterwards
rose to the first ranks Of fame, tn
youth answered the call Of his
State and joined that ''thin gray

bars and stripes waved no more, he
returned home to find that which
all others found. His frailties let
us not expose, for they soon will
