(By5Telegrapht to Virginian- Pllot.)
Baton Rouge, La, Dec. 2l.-At the
Democratic State convention to-day
Senator Estopinat, of st. Bernard Par
isEt was nominated for Lieutenant
Governor, and John II. Michel, of Or
ieans, was nominated, to succeed him
self as Secretary of state
me resolutions adopted support the
chicago PLATFORM, denounce trusts
IaYor5 the Federal control Of leyees and
the building of the Tsthmlan Canal and
me deepening of the passes or the
mouth OF the river, and endorse the
administration OF Governor Foster,
THE PLATFORM.
The platform concludes:
we congratulate the people that the
organic laws of the State Without nm
due political excitement or upheaval
nave been so amended as 10 insure the
supremacy of the white race and the
salvation of Caucasian civilization in
LOUISIANA ct the same time that the
best interests of all the people of the
state, both white and black, have been
carefully protected"
An attempt was made to provide that
future nomination be made by white
primaries throughout the State, but It
failed to get a quarter Of the votes In
the convention. The result of the con-
ventTon is considered az an admins
trution victory with the single excep-
ton OF Judge Guion as Attorney Cen
eral, in which the argument that his
opponent was corporation attorney
was used with telling effect The re-
suit practically ensures the election of
Governor Murphy j. Foster to the SEN
ate TO succeed Senator Gallery. It had
been conceded that Senator w. D. Nc
Emery would be reelected and the SUI
gar parishes will make strong fight
for him. but his attitude in this cam
naign was regarded as anti-administra-
tion, and there was talk of ex-senator
Blanchard entering the lists against
him.

A Cats Private Travelling Carriage.

Cats are not great travellers, as a
rule, nor are they very much at home
in strange hotels, but one of which
Christian Work tells story was an
exception. A lady walked into the
coffee-room of hotel, dressed in trav-
cling costume, and carrying a cape
of plaid cloth, which she hung over
the chair next to her, disposing OF it
with some care. When she had Or
dered breakfast, and was waiting to be
served, she heard a succession of ex-
carnations: ooh! oh! what beauty!"
The lady turned a hasty glance to-
ward the chair at her side. There sat
a big white Angora cat, gracefully
viewing the situation. 20 Bismarck.
you silly cat!" che exclaimed, as the
head-waiter appeared with a look on
his face that BODIED no good to the cat.
Il must put him out, madam" he said,
with the assurance that belongs to
head walters. But the lady clicked her
fingers, and the cat disappeared. Every
eye had been upon him. but nobody
had seen him go. The waiter looked
on the chair and under 1t, but the cat
had vanished. 1t was not until the
lady had finished her breakfast. and
was leaving the table with her travel
ing cloak thrown over her arm, that
the mystery of the animals presence
was explained, and pussy's head was
allowed to peep from capacious in
side pocket OF the cape. "He has trav-
eled in that pocket for hundreds OF
miles, and this is the first time he has
shown himself" said his mistress.
HE will not purr for fear OF being
found. But he is nearing his Journey
end now, and is getting tired. This
cape is Lis exclusive property. and the
pocket his private travelling carriage"

Time was when the word plague"
filed every heart with horror. Amer
lea has never been devastated by the
fell disease and now when a vessel
from Brazil has arrived at New York
with several cases on board there is
nothing to fear, for they have been
promptly quarantined. The BLACK
DEATH" as the plague has been appro-
priately named, is always present in
Asia, where native ignorance and dis
regard of cleanliness have rendered
it epidemic. Europe, which was peri
odlcally decimated by this fatal putrid
fever, has got rid of it by proper at
tention to sanitation. The United
States with it's good drainage, good
living and the accompanying increased
vitality has nothing to fear from the
presence Of a few isolated cases at the
New York quarantine.

EVER so SINCE ADAM.
Women Have Been Called Upon ia
Shoulder Mems Sins.

There Is nothing on earth that
makes one more provoked than the
tendency of some persons to lay the
blame for every misfortune that &C.
ours TO a man on the shoulders of his
poor wife, who has no possible means
Of retaliation, but must just simply
bear the odium that does not rightfully
rest upon her, says the Philadelphia
Times. There is another phase Of this
question equally prone to rouse my in
dignation, and that is when persons
| assert no man would dare to speak to
woman on the street unless he re-
ceived some encouragement from her.
! That is all nonsense. | know at least
dozen pretty, modest young women,
who have never even so much as
looked at a man they did not know.
WHO have been addressed in the most
| familiar fashion by some well-dressed
loafer who thought his personal charm
so great that he could with ease break
down the barriers of conventionality
and good breeding and be forgiven by
the feminine object of his admiration.
That many such have received the
punishment they deserve goes without
saying, but many more are merely
! ignored. The girl is too refined to
create scene, and thus when he has
received only the silent snub, hardly
noticeable to the passers-by, he goes
on his way to tackle another one who
has not encouraged him a whit more
than the first, despite all masculine
assertions to the contrary. Men can
| fail-men do fail-in business with
out having their failure caused by
| their wives extragance. Men do drink
without being driven to it by the CO.
| quetries of their wives with other men
or an absence of congeniality in their
| homes. and men do speak to women
on the street without being in the least
bit encouraged to do so. They take a
/ chance, and it is a pity that they are
let down so easily when that chance
| is not in their favor. But even If they
were caught in the very commission
/ of their act OF effrOntery they would
| probably bTazen 1t out and lay the
/ blame On the innocent woman. Ever
since the day when Adam the coward,
wriggled out of the esponsibility for
his misdoing by saying, THE woman
tempted me and l did ea,," men have
been inventing lame excuses for their
failings, and are glad enough to saddle
the blame on the opposite sex, though
they know in their hearts they are
taking refuge in the most palpable
subterfuges that deceive very few
women at least, whatever they may
make men believe on the subject.

yararlos Of Mrs. rnocarn,,o,..

The vagaries of Mrs MacCormick. as
disclosed the other day to the Divorce
Court at Dublin, Ireland-the Queens
Proctor intervening-are remarkable.
In 1896 the lady left her husband sud-
denly, and disappeared. The next year
Mr.. MacCormick went through a form
of marriage with a young woman.
whose brother later on prosecuted him
for bigamy. Mr.. Justice Phillimore
heard the case, and Mr.. MacCormick
was sentenced to a long term of i'm
prisonment. But in the meantime the
lady, as 1t turned out afterward, had
married and became a widow, and
drawn her husbands insurance money.
Not satisfied with her position even
then, the widow brought an action for
divorce against her imprisoned hus-
band. and secured decree. 1t is a
bewildering story, and it is not sur
prisirs that the decree has been re-
scinded.

London correspondents state that
after twenty-five years of bankruptcy
Americas first colony, Liberia, is now
rehabilitated, the interest on its pub
lie debt being paid. In 1871 Liberia
foated a loan of 100000, chiefly in
England, but three years later the lit
tie republic failed to meet the interest
and this condition Of affairs has pre-
vailed ever since, until now Liberals
fiscal agents in London have an
nounced that the government is once
more able to meet its obligations. This
step was rendered feasible by new
source of revenue derived from rubber.
and the interest which the bondholders
despaired CT getting is now being paid
from the royalties turned into the gov
eminent Of the republic by the Lii
berian rubber syndicate, an essentially
English concern. The development Of
the rubber industry in Liberia has at
tracted considerable attention, which
has not confined itse,f to the CONNER
cial aspect, and there is likely to be
in the near future diplomatic activity
in relation to the status of Liberia.

The year 1900 will offer consider
able range of choice to persons inter-

literary men whose claim to remem-

will repair with fresh delight to that

fullness The centenary of Cowper's
death is to be numbered with the
notable days in the new year. Many
to whom his works may not otherwise
appeal will be grateful for the
spiritual refreshment which they owe
to his devotional writing. On the other
hand, the centenary of Macaulay's
birth will be commonwealth at least by
special recollection, by the large COM
pany who are his debtors because when
he wrote history, the poets magma

will be other days and names for end
