Whatever may be said against Senator
Caffery's political record by his opponents,
none can charge him with ever trying to
conceal his views on public questions. He
has the courage of his convictions, and
freely aud fearlcssly tells the people just
where he stands. Gazette.
The Lafayette Gazette does not
endorse Senator Caffery's present
attitude nor does 1t think that he
acted wisely when he switched off
at Indianapolis, thereby assisting IN
the election of Mckinley and
Hanna, vet with all that against
him we .an not withhold our adj
mlration for a man who says what
he thinks, regardless of how II af-
fects his political interests. Senator
Cafferv always lets the people know
where he stands. If he is right
they know it and if he happens q"
be wrong they know it too. When
you vote fos Caffery you know what
you are voting for. Just now Mr..
Caffery's views are such that he
does not correctly represent
the people of Louisiana in
Congress and he can not ex
pect to be reelected, but an
honest man of pronounced opinions
and backbone will always com
mand the respect IF fair minded
people even if his acts fail to receive

The musical entertainment given
Il Falk's hall on Oct. 40, by the
ladies Of the Methodist church, was
q success. 1t was very literally
patronized by our people ana the.
Character Of the entertainment was
highly creditable to the local anna
teurs of the histrionic stage. An
audience which was numerically
strong and fully capable Of appre-
ciating good music and fine singing
responded to the invitation Of the
ladies. Everyone did we'll and
helped to sustain Lafayette's en-
viable reputation as center OF art
and culture. Miss Lizzie Mudd's
exc cutlon of solo on the piano was
splendid. Miss Isaure Mcdaniel
acquitted herself with credit in the
recitation of the Supposed Speech
Of Regulus." Miss Marthe Mouton
sang with much melody and re-
ceived merited applause. Miss
Sontag, the gifted musician, treated
the audience to an excellent Sc
lection on the violin. Mrs. S. r.
Olliphant, of New Orleans, who is
visiting in Lafayette, volunteered
he, services and contributed in a
great measure to the success of
the entertainment. Her recItations
were rendered with perfect ease,
her gestures and manner of express
sion showing a marked degree OF
proficiency. Her very droil imper-
sonation of the timid school girl
and of the lassie who was not afraid
of the footlights afforded much
amusement. DR.. +. E.. Girard
sang and acted just like the Italian
fruit vendor and organ grinder.
His singing was quite a feature Of
the entertainment. The recitation
of s.The Marble Dream" by Mrs.
Grow Girard was we'll done. James
Davidson's performance with the
violin was greatly enjoyed by all
lovers of good music, and all were
delighted to hear the sweet voice OF
Miss Lucille Revillon who never
fails to please. The ''Bacheior's
Dream" amused everybody. That
minated member Of the community
was shown in a very embarrassing
predicament. Divers and sundry
kinds of sweetnesses were thrown at
him in solid chunks, but true to the
proyerbial instinct of the brute he
repealed the assaults Of Cupid's ar
rows with frigid indifference.
