THE LONGFELLOW STATUE.
An Appeal for subscriptions Issued
from Washington.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-The executive
committee of the LongfelIow National Me-
mortal Association, formed for the purpose
ington, has issued an appeal to the public
for subscriptions to accomplish this pur-
pose. The committee estimates that S35 600
will be needed to procure statue worthy of
the poet and the site. The smallest contrf-
button will be welcomed. AS almost every
American home, where the inmates love
good literature says the appeal, contains a
copy of Longfellows poems it is hoped that
the response may be both prompt and gen.
erous.
The Riggs National Bank of Washington
has consented to act as financial agent of
the memorial association and checks may
be made payable to it. Rev. Alexander
Mackay-Smith, chairman, and Gen. Adolf
plus w. Greedy, secretary, on behalf of the
executive committee, sign the appeal, in the
course of which they say: 1T has been
thought by many competent judges that a
statue of Longfellow placed here would be
a fitting tribute both to his fame and to the
distinction which he conferred on American
letters 1t is a grave reproach to that
While England has been quick to recognize
his eminence by placing his bust in West
minister Abbey, our own people have as yet
done little to testify the affection and pride
with which millions regard one who is be-
yond all others the poet of the American,
the home and freside."
The President is an honorary regent of the
association; Chief Justice Fuller is preSi-
dent while Secretary Hay, Senators Hoar
and Wolcott, Speaker Reed and many other
prominent men are associated with the
movement

The hattie shin Indiana.

In accordance with the wishes of the Of
feers and crew of the battle ship Indiana
William G. Cassard, chaplain prepared and
published a book recording the ships do
ings in the war between the United States
and Spain. 1t is a careful compilation Of
facts and incid snts, and illustrated as it is
by photographs ana maps, and well printed,
it forms q souvenir which the men who took
part in the events described must value
highly. The publication was intended only
for the ships company, and the first edi-
ton was exha listed by their demands, but
a call for the volume coming from outside
n second edition has been issued. This call
comes in part at least from Indianians who
wish to know what the States namesake did
during the war, and to accommodate these
persons the book will probably be put on

rhe Ne,v Work. WorIh Almnnnc.

This is one Of the most accurate and val
liable of the statistical ANNALS, and, consid-
ering the amount of information contained
in it, it may we'll be called a compressed
encyclopedia" To mention what it does not
contain would be an easier task than to
enumerate the subjects concerning which it
gives facts and figures. The government,
labor interests, elections, churches and
schools. patriotic benefit and fraternal or
CARNATIONS, sports. railroads and steam
ships and a thousand other matters are COW
cred. In addition is a history of the Span
ish-Am,arican war, presented in both chrono-
logical ana narrative form. If every house
hold possessed one of these useful volumes
fewer people would find it necessary to
write to the editor and ask him ques-
tions. Price, . cents.

The Opelousas courier., 1899-03-18
: An Awful Calamity.

A special from our Chicot cor
respondent dated March lith.
gives the Following details Of Il
sad aecidcnt which occurred in
that section:
"Sundav night about II o clock
Mr.. VIM. Guys residence on Tur-
key Creek was completely des-
troyed by fire, together with
ali its contents. and hi, two little
children aged respectively I and
IS years old. were burnt up in
the house. The painful News of
this occurrence has cast gloom
over our entire community. The
cause of the fire we learn from Il
neighbor is that six children were
sleeping up stairs, and when the
fire was first discovered. the roof
was falling in. The oldest chill
dren-two girls-succeeded in
saving two of the children, and
when returning for the other two,
could not reach them, the flames
having already envelopcd them.
The fire was caused by the cap
sizing Of Il lighted lamp.

Confederate Dead.

Official request has been made
asking for list of all graveyards
or cemetaries where Confederate
soldiers are buried. and as far as
possible names and number of in
terments.
R. E. Lee Camp has secured
some important information on
the subject as to the interments
in Opelousas, but it is far from
complete, and it is desired to Sc
cure all the information possible
on this matter. Anyone possess
ing any information as to the
number Of Confederate dead in
this parish, their names and place
of burial would confer favor by
sending a report to the Adjutant
of r. E. Lee Camp q. G. V. at
Opelousas, La, on or before the
25th inst, to be transmitted to
the Headquarters Of the U. G. V.
at New Orleans.

Explosion.

Quite Il cOmmotion was created
in the north end Of town last
Wednesday night shortly after
8 o'clock by an explosion resem-
bling the flying of cannon. The
noise was cAused by the explosion
of keg of Agun-powder. (about
p pounds) iia store occupied by
Roger Lemelth which had taken
fire near whefe the powder was
standing from some unexplained
cause, and was evidently gaining
rapid headway when the explo-
sion took place and stopped the
conhagrat1on. The conclusion
blew out both sides of the build
ing and scattered Il part of its
contents to IL considerable dis
tance. The store had been closed
for the night only a short time be-
fore the explosion, and the clerk
had just retired to bed, situated
in the opposite end of the build
ing from the store, when the ex-
plosion took place. The only
damage done was to the building
and part of the goods. We
have not heard if there was any
insurance on the building or
stock. The fire was soon put out
after the explosion.
