Beautiful Sentiment.

The Picayune, in its last Sun
days ''ln a Minor Key" column,
reproducing IngersolI's remarks
over the bier Of his dead brother,
prefaces the reproduction in the
following beautiful language: The
end of every life is shrouded in
mystery, and it is marvellous in
nothing more than this, that death
has only to touch those nearest
and dearest to us to make them
become the strongest and most un-
known thing in all the world to
us. Yesterday their hearts beat
against our heart, their kisses lay
warm upon our lips, and thoughts
leapt, lightning-swift, from brain
to brain. Today they are deaf to
our passionate words of love,
dumb to our caresses, and dead tC
our agony, and all that the Wisest
! philosopher or the dullest mind
can tell Us is that another soul has
set sail again on the great sea OF
eternity that beats upon the shores
oflife. Religion lights the beacon
of faith above the water, and pity
cries out for our comfort that
somewhere on further shores
there must be a have in which the
tempest tossed boat shall drop
anchor in the golden dawn of ne,
yerending day. SO we say fare,
well with what hope and courage
we may, and send after them the
| tribute of our love and tears.

Senator Hanna, like Andrew

Up in West Virginia they are
sensitive about the size of their
feet. One man accused of wear
inc No. l4's resented the charge
by calling the other man a liar.
Then came the pistol-using stage
of the game, and the man with big
feet fell mortaIly wounded. 1t is
a most unfortunate precedent, es-
pecially if all Chicagoans hereaf-
ter should feel at liberty to com
mence firing at St. Louisians who
nersist in talking about the big
feet of the Chicago women. The
Kentucky feuds would not be no
ffceable in comparison with feud
Of this kind.-N. .. Item.

Governor D. NJ. Jones of Ar
kansas in an interview with a \. 7
Times reporter, concering the
lynching in the South and crime
which causes them says: This
crime Is so heinous and revolving
that no laws in the world, nc
matter how severe the punish
ment or how speedily inflicted,
can in my mind, prevent lynching
when the accused falls into the
hands Of the enraged mob. Il
can suggest no remedy, because
there is none, except the cessation
of the crime itself. OF course,
this is to be deplored because it is
always held that the law should
take its regular course, but as long
as human nature remains as it Is,
the conditions in this respect will
not be improved" !"

Monday, the 7th instant, the
Democratic Executive Committee
calls for a mass meeting of the
voters of Hancock county, at the
court house, in Bay ST. Louis fol
the purpose of selecting delegate
TO the State Democratic nominal
ing Convention. Every one wht
can possibly do SO ought to at
tend, However, there are man,
who cannot and these of course
will not stand a ghost of show Sc
far as their wishes 60. The meth
Cd adopted by the Executive Com
mittee is very inconvenient for the
part Of the county outside of Ba1
St. Louis. In our opinion the wa,
to have given each beat chance
would have been to have called !
convention and let each beat have
sent one or more delegates. Tha
would have given every voter al
opportunity. Mass meetings il
each beat could have been adopt
ed as a means of choosing dele
gates, but is it now stands Beat
has full charge, and whatever way
| the voters of that beat instruct
why, the entire county, because o.
the method chosen, must acqulesce
| This is only another and stronge1
argument in favor of a genera
revision, amendment and reform
alton of the primary laws.

The Pennington Herald, with
the talented Sam'l J. Gray, for
several years correspondent for
the Echo, as its editor, made its
second bow today, filled with a
hattering amount of advertise
ments, and most readable paper
it is, rejecting much credit to its
young helmsman. This gives
Hancock county three newspapers.
1t now remains to be seen if the
third at the hands of the county
will be given so shabby a treatment
as certain iniustices and favorit-
isms caused the second to be sub
iected to.-Sea Coast Echo.
Judging from the liberal praise
and generous appreciation with
which the Herald has met at
the hands of the intelligent pub
lie at this place and LogtSwn we
would be inclined to think the
paper will always have plain and
easy sailing. At any rate we sim
cereIy hope so. But even tho it
be subjected to certain iniusticeS
and determinations we would be
proud in our eighth year Gf it be
that long) if attain the popularity
and esteem which The Echo enjoys
today.-Pearlington Herald.

The Times-Democrat of the 80,
tells of the prosperity and busi-
ness doneat Gulfport, as follows :;
"Some figures as to the business
done at this place will, no doubt.
be Of interest to many people,
who have but faint conception
of the importance of GuIfport as
a town. During the month of
June the freight business at the
Union depot amounted 10 $50,
900; ticket sales on the Gulf and
Ship Island were $500, and on the
l.. & n. Railroad $1,000. The eX
press business has increased 800
per cent. and $4,000 of express
money orders were issued. Over
1000 cars Of freight were handled,
of which $50 cars were merchan-
disc for points along the line of
the Gulfport and Ship Island Ry.

Bayou Chicot Jan. LIST, 1899.
On the evening of Dec. 18th 1898,
we were royalty entertained by
Miss Grace D. Griffith. The spa
cious ballroom was tastefully dec
GRATED in festoons Of laurel and hol-
ly intermingled with sprays Of pine.
Bright lights were flashing every
where, creating a warm and genial
glow of welcome. The sweet notes
of the violin thrilled the listeners
with pleasure and with one accord
all joined in a merry dance. And
as the moon scared higher, higher,
the revelry increased and she was
low decending before good-by's
were thought of. Cake, white and
dainty, wine, red and sparkling,
cheered the happy guests. Miss
Effie Forman, attired in blue and
gold, carried off the honor of being
the beauty Of the night. And so
the ball ended, and nothing is left
us but sweet memories and kind
thanks to Miss Grace for according
us such pleasant time.

An Elegant Affair.

One of the handsomest and most
thoroughly enjoyable social events
of the season was the Progressive
Euchre given New Year Eve, by
DR.. Fred j. Mayer, compllmcnta-
ry to the "Bac chelor Girls Euchre
Club. !.
The handsoAae and spacious
Mayer residence. was resplendent
with floral decora tions, and from
the mantels. cabi,ets and chandel-
iers hung garlands of everereens
and large sprays of holly and
mistIetoe so >uS Sgcstivc of the
iuIcti,le with its mirth andmerri-
ment and gooa cheer.
Twelve games of euchre were
played, and a number of tasteful
prizes were then awarded to the
lucky winners-ijiSs Josie Will
liams being awarded the ladies
first prize, Il complete set Of Dick
ens works; Miss Fannie Thomp-
son receiving the second-a set of
six handsome silver ''Souvenir
Spoons and to Miss Stella Els
torge's lot fell the consolation
prize, pretty, silver, letter open
er. The GentIemen's prizes, con-
sisting of Il set of Encyclopedia
and Il History of Louisiana, were
awarded, respectively, to Messrs.
II. K. Estorge and John Ii. 1ar-
manson; and the consolation
prize was captured by Mr.. L. Rog-
ers. After the awarding Of prizes
an elegant supper was served and
a number of toasts offered by Miss
Josie Williams, Hon. +. B. Du-
buisson, Percy I. Ogden and DR..
Fred. J. Mayer, the genial host,
who, in his usual gallant ways, in
choice and appropriate language,
toasted "The Fair Ladies of Lou
isiana-and particularly the fair
ladies of the Attakapas region
in which was not forgotten a ten
der remembrance and affcctionate
allusion to some absent fair one,
whose identity was not clearly dis
closed by the Doctors impassion
remarks. -
DR.. Mayer was assisted in re-
ceiving by his charming sister,
Miss Iilda, and so elegantly were
the guests received and entertain
ed that the event will long be re-
membercd by those who were for
tunate enough to he the guests of
such genial hosts Among those
present were:
Mrs. e. Z. Veazle, Mrs. Louis
Prados, Misses Carrie Rogers,
Cora Dubuisson, Lucic Estorge,
Fannie Thompson, May Sandoz,
Josie Williams, Eleanor Richard,

Some Harder Questions.

Editor COURIER =
A correspondent of the Clarion
makes answer in the issue of that
paper of Dec. 81 to the questions
propounded to you in your issue
of Dec. II, the gist of which ques-
tions was whether it was not a
fact that seven months after the
adoption of the present Constitu-
ton our parish jail was still full
of prisoners, Notwithstanding the
facilities provided by that instru-
ment for prompt trials, and
whether it was not also fact
that the pay for the maintenance
of these prisoners had been in
creased from IS to As cents per
day
The answer made to the first
question is plain and clear-cut.
It is that there are only six per-
SONS confined in the parish Jail.
But the reader will observe that
this correspondent, who signs San
ti-Grumbler," waited two weeks
before making his answer; and
he will furthermore observe, if
he is a careful reader of the pro-
ceedings of the Police Jury, that
a bill for ''feeding prisoners from
Oct. IA to Dec. S." amounting to
$4S2.O5, was approved on Dec. 7,
and appears in the official pro-
cedings promulgated on Dec. II,
the very day when you published
the questions asked you.
Now, while the correspondent s
statement as to the number in Jail
on Dec. 3lst, must be accepted
he is so positive about tt sim
pie mathematical calculation will
show that for the 80 days pre-
ceding Dec. 5 an average of at
least twenty persons were there
each day, for 20 prisoners at As
cents would cost 5000 per day,
whereas, the amount actually al
lowed was 1927 per day-52 times
1927 being $4S2.O4, an amount
sufficient to feed 20 prisoners 50
days and 2lst prisoner 81 days.
AS to the second questlon-the
one referring to- the recent raise
in the fees for the maintenance of
