Columbia has at last been seen by outsider, and

was begun. and now she lacks only a strake and
half of being entirely shut in. so that the launch
may be looked for at any time after ten days.
The first four strakes Of plating. counting from
the keel upward. are in place. and most OF the
plates are riveted The sixth or stop strake
shows plates for about half the length OF the boat
emliships on each side. None OF the plates OF the
fifth or next to the top strake are in place, and
here the frames are seen originally set up.
Nearly all Of the plates to complete the shuttingn

Anthony Hopes New Romance

Anthony Hopes new romance,
which he has just finished, is called
ssThe Countess Emilia" and has been
purchased by The Ladies' Home
journal, in which periodical it will
Immediately begin. The story is
about a beautiful Countess. She
has quarreled with her husband, and
they decided to live in seclusion in
separate wings of the castle. This
they do until Captain Dieppe, who
becomes a member of the household,
inadvertently opens a door, through
which are revealed to him the apart
ments of the exiled Countess, with the
beautiful occupant standing in
doorway. The Captain falls in love
with the young woman, and from this
point there is not a moments cessa-
ton in the romantic adventures which
ensue in the castle, its gardens and
n~eighboring places of rendez vous.

A Warm Grand Jury.

We sometimes think Vermilion par
ish grand juries are a terror to evil
doors when they get out real lively
after the cow thieves and turn in a
few dozen indictments. But bless
your souls we amt no where after
hearing from the grand jury which is
doing business at Greenfield, Indiana.
It walked into court one day last
week and filed ssnine hnr bred and
ninety-one'' indictments! And bless
you they were all against country Off
Gals, those now in Office and those
who had held Office several years ago,
and the charges cover everything from
perjury to embezzlement. But it is
a hopeful sign that a grand jury can
be found that is brave enough to
indict public officials. They r SO
rare as to deserve special mention.

Tangipahoa is again furnishing ma
terial for sensational articles and scare
head lines in the newspapers. The
ellis, Bambers and other outlaws of
that parish have broken out again and
T running things to suit themselves.
If they would only confine their
operations among themselves the
gangs would soon exterminate each
other, but they will kill off an occa-
sional decent man and then the New
Orleans papers raise a mighty howl.
The latest report from the seat of war
is to the effect that the men accused
of shooting Magee will surrender if

The late Pierre D. Dupuy a mer-
chant of this place who died in the
fall 1897, left a will which was drawn
by Lastie Broussard, ESQ.,, and duly
probated in the district court and the
property sold. His daughter Willie,
now Mrs. r. Knight, attacked the
will and sued to set aside the sale.
The matter went before the Supreme
Court which has given the following
decision:
Willie Dupuy, Widow R. Knight,
VS.. William Esnard, Testamentary
Executor.-Appeal from the Seven
teenth Judicial District Court for the
parish of Vermilion.
/. A nuncupative will by public
act, the validity of which was called
in question for defects OF form, is
tested herein and found valid.
2. The placing by the notary OF a
word emitted from the will, upon the
margin thereof, is an immaterial cir
cumstance when the word a be
ignored and the will stand.
For the reasons assigned it is or
dered, adjudged and decreed that tht
judgment appealed from be and the
same is hereby affirmed, except in SC
far as it rejects definitely plaintiff
demand for the nullity of the sales Q.
real estate made in the matter of tht

that respect being hereby changed
and amended, so as to dismiss plain
